Last night was the season finale of "Tia & Tamera", the recent reality show on The Style Network about the inseparable twins' journey through pregnancy and marriage. It's still hard to believe that this is the same "Tia & Tamera" that had everyone shouting "Go home Roger!" to their annoying childhood friends. Tia and Tamera are both now all grown up, married, and far from the quirky teenagers that they were on the hit show, "Sister Sister". Tamera recently opened up to The YBF about her wedding, celibacy, and criticism on her interracial marriage. The newly wedded actress also gave advice to brides-to-be on how to prepare for a wedding and marriage.
On the hateful backlash she received online after having her engagement photos posted:
It's something I wanted to share with Adam, our fam and friends, and years down the line with our kids. There's something, I think, special about that. I wanted them to see something more than just us in our wedding attire. I didn't feel like we shouldn't have put them out–I was just shocked that some people still feel that way. It's 2011! They did a poll recently and 83% of Americans are OK with interracial relationships. I never expected that kind of negative response to us. That's why I was OK with our wedding photographer (Jose Villa) putting those pics on his website. He was ok with them, and I was ok with them.
On her and Adam's decision to live apart prior to marriage:
I'll be very very honest. We decided, it was both of our decision, not to live together for religious reasons. I'm being very honest. We actually didn't wait before we got married to be intimate…but we did wait 3 years. I wanted to do what felt right for me. I became re-virginized. It's something that just felt right for me. It was just a personal choice. And even after being intimate, we decided as a couple to be celibate until the wedding.
On advice to a bride who has a tight budget:
Well if it's an outside wedding–I say budget for a tent. I was really naive. Whether there would be rain in Napa in May wasn't even a question for me because I've been there several times in May and there was never even a cloud in sight. But leading up to my wedding, there was rain, hail, it was 40 degrees, I might as well had gotten married in January!
But if you only have a set amount like $20K for your wedding, and not a $1 more, think about all the things that could happen. And plan for it. Had I known rain could have happened, I would have budgeted for a tent and not done some other things. Instead I had to tack on several thousand more last minute for it.
On imperative things every bride must have with her on her wedding day:
A lot of women forget this–make sure you have the right undergarments. Don't be afraid to splurge and go to a lingerie specialist. Get the right bodice, Spanx–you cannot leave without your Spanx–it just keeps it smooth and sucked in and you look great.
Another thing is, carry your memories with you of why you two are getting married. And carry a clear mind–make sure you're totally present.
Then make sure you have your sidekick–your girlfriend, your maid of honor, your mom, whoever it is, right there by your side. Someone who you can look at in the eye and have their support. My mom wasn't on the reality show because she didn't want to be. She's so private. But my mom was with me every step of the way. So supportive.

Elegant Rustic Barnwood Dining Table with Leather and Copper Inlay
Item #DT00128
60" to 66" – $3395
Larger Custom Sizes Available
Elegan Rustic Barnwood Table Round or Octagon
Product Description
This elegant great plains barnwood table is destined for a stately farm house or ranch in Nebraska or Kansas. Its octagon table surface reminds our craftsman of the old octagon brick silos that stood guard next to the barn. The designs of copper and leather that grace the sides of the raised pedestal base represent the gold heads of wheat.
Copper was a valuable metal around the farm for its ability to be molded and formed. And of course leather was used for everything from the harness to saddles to the gloves for hard working hands. This graceful barn wood table harkens back to its origins – back to a time of pride in a good day's work done well.
This barnwood table is shown with an octagon top, but it is also available with a round top. This table can be custom made any size needed from 54″ to 90″ in diameter.

It's interesting how certain flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia: roses, hollyhocks and dahlias to name a few. There's no question these are beautiful in the garden, but if cared for properly you can also use them inside. Hydrangeas are good flowers to dry for indoor arrangements.
One method of preparing hydrangeas is simply to air dry them. All you do is remove the leaves along the stem and bundle five or six of them together. Hang them in a cool, dry place.
If that's too much trouble, you can also dry them upright in a vase. Place the stems in a vase with a few inches of water, out of direct sunlight. When the water evaporates add more, repeating the process until you feel the blooms are sufficiently dry.
You can also preserve hydrangeas with glycerin and water. This process makes the bloom more soft and supple to the touch, and it also helps to preserve the shape of the bloom longer.
Gather the hydrangea blooms. When cutting the blooms, keep in mind that the length of your stems need to be about 18 inches or less. And while it is tempting to try drying those full, lushly colored hydrangea blooms mid-summer, it is best to allow them to mature on the shrub before you cut them. Fresh blooms tend to wilt and turn brown. You can tell that they are ready because as they age, they will turn either green/pink in warm climates or blue/purple in colder areas, and their texture is paper-like rather than soft.
Cut the stems at a right angle and crush the ends with a hammer. This will help with the uptake of the solution.
In a vase prepare a solution of 2 parts water and 1 part glycerin. You can find glycerin at your local pharmacy. The way this works is, the water and glycerin are drawn through the stem of the plant. The water evaporates through the petals, leaving the glycerin. The glycerin will turn the petals a rich, golden brown. I like this natural look, but if you prefer a little color, add a small drop of dye to the solution.
Add your hydrangeas to the vase.
In two to three weeks you will have a beautiful bouquet of summer hydrangeas to enjoy through the fall and winter.

Well it sounds like it's one that you've embraced. Was the inspiration for making and modifying these instruments one of necessity because you didn't have a guitar player and you needed to do both, or was it something you were always intent on messing around with?
Kind of everything– wanting to be able to have control over a wider frequency spectrum with one instrument is one thing, and also reducing the number of people in a band is an interesting concept, and then just trying to get something unique and different that no one else is really doing.
A lot of people at MAKE are tinkerers from their childhood, or they have some background in fooling around with electronics or fabrication. What sort of stuff gave you that bug when you were younger?
I always had access to woodworking tools at home growing up. I studied music as a kid but it was always combined with a really deep interest in having control over the gear, having some access to either modifying or making the actual instruments that I was playing. That's the way my brain works and I really like working with my hands so I got really into instrument making, electronics, making pedals, and amps. It's something I've always been a real nerd about.
So you did instrument design for Blue Man Group, right?
Could you talk a little bit about that, specifically what sort of software you used? And did you use any physical computing platforms in the instruments that you made?
I've written software in MAX that I've used in Blue Man and there were a lot of trigger based instruments that I developed for them for their tour because they use these PVC percussion instruments. They were doing more loud, rock concert type venues and they needed to amplify these things and it was problematic because an acoustic instrument is not very loud. So I developed a theme instrument that was based around triggering samples from the actual instrument. So I got into that pretty heavily with them and wrote some software in MAX that could control that stuff.
What did you use as the triggers and how did that route into MAX?
Well I wrote software for MAX that was basically a MIDI note mapper that distributed MIDI notes across a whole instrument depending on what the song was so you could change the notes quickly. It was a way of controlling a database of MIDI notes that would then tell a sampler what sounds to play. The triggering is all piezo-based triggers that I built.
Do you build and modify instruments and effects for other musicians?
Sometimes, yeah when I get requested. I'm not searching for that often but it's starting to become something that people have mentioned to me. I just made some special pickups for a friend of mine.
What's one of the more interesting things you've worked on for a client?
I'm still working a lot with Blue Man freelance so probably the most interesting things I've done, I've done for them. They have these things called MIDI backpacks that they wear and they're big sculptural, tubular things that they wear as backpacks but also play. That's probably one of the more interesting things I've done for them.

When you're working in the studio do the sounds that you get from the instruments dictate the music or is it the other way around? Or a little bit of both?
It's a little bit of both. Probably a lot of the instrument is dictating stuff, especially my instrument. It's not tuned like a normal guitar at all so it's both limiting and challenging but also liberating at the same time. I come up with parts I wouldn't normally think of so in that way it's dictating the music a lot.
What sort of gadgetry might we expect from Buke and Gase in the future?
I don't know. Maybe more electronic stuff. My head is going in that direction but I don't know what that means yet. Maybe using the instruments to either trigger other sounds or controlling more electronic sounds.
You said that you've built and modified your own pedals. Can you talk a bit about that and where your electronics background comes from?
My electronics background is mostly just me messing around– mostly self-taught that way. I had a recording studio in Brooklyn for a while and I would make a lot of the mic pre-amps and did a lot of tube-based electronics for that studio. I've done mostly distortion pedals and modified store-bought ones, but nothing too crazy. I've also done line mixers that I needed for the Gase to combine signals.
If you had a dream device that you would want a maker to come up with that you could use in your music, what do you think it would be?
Something that would make playing in this band a lot easier! We both find that because we're multi-tasking so much it takes a lot of concentration to play our music. Anything that can liberate that amount of focus that we have to do when we're performing live would be great. Like I said, I'm kind of thinking about ways our instruments could control other sounds, so maybe something in that direction would be great.

The fourth-ranked Bearettes opened the varsity doubleheader with a 62-35 victory before the Bears capped the evening by breaking up a close game early for a 66-43 win.
Coach Jason Reuter's Bearette squad went south of Atlanta Saturday evening for the Starr's Mills Girls' Night Out and faced five-time Georgia state champion Wesleyan (See related story, this section).
Both Bradley teams will be back home Tuesday evening to welcome Baylor for its annual trip to Jim Smiddy Arena before entertaining Ooltewah Friday in a big district matchup.
The Bearettes (17-1, 7-0 District 5-AAA) came out of the gate strong Friday with an 18-7 opening period run and then tacked on another half dozen points to the lead by intermission.
Despite the starters getting limited playing time in the second half, Bradley posted its highest point total of the night in the third frame with a 21-12 scoring advantage before closing out the 27-point victory.
Junior Brooke Copeland led the way for Bradley with 16 points and a half dozen rebounds in the victory, while her fellow 6-foot-2 "Twin Tower" teammate Rebecca Reuter helped out with nine points, three caroms and a block.
Senior Brandi Whitted and junior Whitney Donaldson both dished out four assists for the victors, while netting 11 and 10 points respectively.
As a team, the Bearettes handed out 20 assists on 22 made field goals, sinking 17-of-38 shots from in front of the arc and 5-for-19 from beyond it, plus connected on 13-of-18 free throws.
Brooke Hale drilled a trio of 3-pointers on her way to 15 points but was the only Lady Trojan to reach double figures.
Although Soddy-Daisy (8-9, 0-7) won the rebounding battle by a 34-28 margin, the hosts made just 9-of-30 two-pointers and were 3-of-9 from distance, plus netted only 8-of-19 charity tosses.
After Bradley (11-8, 6-2) put a 60-point whipping on them when the teams first met this season, Soddy-Daisy (7-10. 1-6) matched the Bears point-for-point in the first eight minutes Friday evening.
Breaking open a 13-all game at the first buzzer, Bradley went on a 21-8 run in the second period, but then the Trojans played them within a point (15-14) in the third frame.
The Bears were able to put some more distance between them and their hosts in the final frame, outscoring them by a 17-8 margin for the 23-point win.
Seniors Bryce Copeland and Matt Whitmire paced the victors with 18 and 16 points respectively.
Copeland drained a pair of 3-pointers, plus dished out four assists, snagged four rebounds and copped a trio of steals on the night, while Whitmire sank 7-of-10 shots from the field, cleaned the glass for seven caroms and handed off three helps, plus blocked a shot.
Junior Logan Cox went 3-for-4 from "downtown" for nine points and he pulled down five boards in the victory. Junior Taylor Bentley netted five points, dished four assists and swiped a trio of thefts.
Senior Caleb Cain hit three of his four shots to add a half dozen to the Bear point total, plus he copped three steals and gave out a pair of helps. Sophomore Daniel Clark was perfect on a pair of two-pointers and a long-range bomb for seven points.
Bradley had a strong shooting night, hitting 63 percent (19-of-30) from the two-point area and 37 percent (7-for-19) from distance.
As in the girls' game, the hosts won the rebounding battle (30-26), but struggled from the field hitting just 38 percent, including just 1-of-11 from beyond the 19-foot line.
James York and Andy Wright netted double figures for the hosts with 20 and 10 points respectively.

6″ Bionic Wrench, Loggerhead Tools, $24.95
Dan Brown owns a small company in Chicago and created the Bionic Wrench, a tool built in the USA with a unique mechanism that grips many different sizes of nuts and bolts on all six sides. There has been recent controversy over Sears ceasing to carry the tool and creating their own China-made version that is very similar to Brown's. However the case shakes out, this is a novel tool that deserves recognition for its utility and originality.

I recently got an ocotillo. I planted cuttings & a plant. The cuttings were placed in cacti soil and a coarse sand and they have sprouted leaves. The plant was planted in the soil it came from and it is not taking off. The stems have green on them, but the root has the burgandy bark and appears somewhat white inside. I dug it up the other day thinking I needed better drainage, but I am wondering if the root is dead. I did nick the root when I cut up the plant. It also rained a couple of days in my area and I am wondering if it got too wet. Should I cut off all the stems & try to plant them since they are still green? Also, does anyone know where I can get different varieties of ocotillo? I was told there are four different varieties. |

I would try and hold off doing anything to your ocotillo until at least April. If the main stem from which all the other branches arise is still firm and woody, it should be okay (no rotting). I have an ocotillo that has been subjected to soggy and cold conditions and it's doing great. The main trunk looks similar to what you described. Ocotillos are incredibly tough plants, and it might just very well be dormant. If this is the case, it will probably leaf out (and possibly bloom) in spring and summer. The fact that the stems show green is a good sign. There are several species in the genus commonly known as ocotillo. The most common one (and probably the most cold hardy) is Fouquieria splendens, which is the only one found in the U.S. The others are found in Mexico: Fouquieria macdougalii, F. diguettii, and a very strange one from Baja called F. columnaris (aka Idria columnaris). This one is known as the Boojum Tree. Additionally, there are two others that I frankly don't know a whole lot about: F. fasciculata and F. peninsularis. As far as availability goes, F. splendens is easily found at most nurseries, and I have seen F. diguettii & macdougalii for sale, although much less frequently. Hope this is helpful and good luck! |
Thanks so much cactus dude. The ocotillo is such a beautiful plant I do not want to lose it. I thought it might be dormant but was surprised when my cuttings (from another plant) immediately took off. Thanks also for the info on other varieties - it is very informative. I visit Mexico from time to time so now I want to see that Boojum Tree. |

I think your main plant is slower to respond because of the tough, old woody growth. The younger, tender growth usually will root more quickly. Boojums are fascinating looking; I don't have one and don't see them too much here in the upper Baja, but they're very common further south. Baci, if you're going to travel the Sea of Cortez side of the Baja, drop me a note and we can hook up. I'm usually here October - April. |
Should you ever make it Phoenix, the Desert Botanical Garden here has a huge Boojum tree - evidently they are an exttttrrrrrrrreeeeeeeemly slow grower, so a large specimen is pretty unusual. Right across the patio from it is an F. macdougalii, one of the tree ocotillos. Very cool, also the biggest one I have ever seen. And the showiest patch of Ocotillo I have ever seen is in Tucson, right beside Pima Community College. It's spectacular after a good rain. According to a quick Google search, there are 10 different species of Fouquiera. Whodda thunk? |
I appreciate all the tips & have repotted my plant. I looked at the root & it had a red color - similar to good wood. We have had a week of heavy rains in my area so I have taken mine out of the rain. With all these other tips posted I will be looking for other varieties of ocotillo. The Arizona cacti gardens are definitely on my list for places to visit. I do want to see those Boojums & if I get down to Baja I will contact you Harleylady. I would assume the ocotillo are inland since the ocean breezes might harm them. |
I just wanted to update on my ocotillo in case anyone has similar problems. I started watering it monthly, put it in the hottest area I could find & it leafed out. It did not bloom but has kept the leaves for a couple of months. I have found that in starting cuttings they leaf out in hot shade the best – they do not like full sun. As long as they have green streaks in the stem they are still alive & I leave them alone. |
Help, I am in a zone that octotillos won't surive, but I am growing a small one in a pot. It has grown about 6 inches this summer. Has anyone had luck wintering them over iside. I love them and want to be able to have one. How about wintering over bouginivvila,(not sure on the spelling) plan on trying that as well. In cold NE had a lot of luck wintering over things that I don't have to here. Thanks in advance. |
I kept mine outside last winter in the hottest area I could find. It is usually 30-40 at night in the winter & it survived. All my neighbors keep their bougavillia outside - it bloomed in the winter. Since ours has survived outside they should probably survive indoors. I recently spoke with a botanist about ocotillo's & he stressed they need to be planted in the sand they originally came from (assuming it is a cutting). The sand has certain bacteria & fungi that the plant needs. I water mine once monthly. |
I just bought a potted Ocotillo, and was told by the nursery to plant it in the soil it came in wit the pot, it did not look like sand, it looked like some type of mixture of mulch and organic dirt or something like that. I planted it shallow, then misted the canes and watered the ground area as I was told. I was told not to ever water it again, is this right? I planted in full sun, is that ok? and Temps around my house in July are typically 115 degrees any other suggestions? |
Native ocotillo survive outside here south of Albq., NM where we get heavy snow sometimes and teens or below temps. These are very tough and can take cold and snow although not 'snowpack'. |
If it is in sandy or loamy soil, you can water it to get established, one a week during the hot season should do fine. You may not need to water it after this year but occasional watering if in fast draining soil will keep it green during the hottest part of the year. good luck. |

I live in Belen just 30 mi. south of Albuquerque and Octillos are native to this area. I have two nice plants that I transplanted from a seller. My question is this, do I need to water them in the winter? I know that they don't need watering but about every two weeks in the summer. Your reply will be appreciated....thanks |

Is it possible to start an ocotillo plant from a cutting of a main plant that is huge and very healthy, If so - how do I go about doing this? thank you, Carol Morse |
I believe you can start an ocotillo from a cutting, just be sure to use "new wood" that is pliable, not old hardened wood, which won't take. |
I live in Austin Texas and I am worried that the soil just might be a bit too organic and wet for my ocotillo, is that true? If so what should I do when planting it... |

It is time for politicians to fix Rhode Island's unemployment problem. The government should set up work/education centers. No work would be required but studies would be expected. The centers would replace the current unemployment system.
Parents of young children could bring in their children where they could play with and teach them. They would not be distracted by a TV or some of the other things that lead parents to neglect their children. I would hope that a better bond would be formed between the child and the parent.
The center would provide material and videos that would let people see what jobs they might be interested in and give them a chance to study how the jobs are done. It is a blow to an employer when someone comes who can't do even the simplest thing. In my case, I can't understand why a high school graduate can't read a tape measure.
I don't believe that the centers would be full. The unemployed person would quickly look for ways to get more money through a job.
This system would help someone that was suddenly in a cash bind. He or she could go to a center for a few hours and earn a few dollars to get them out of a hole.
It should be remembered that giving someone money for nothing is a type of poison.

The Scion xB that we're looking at today is dubbed the "Anarchy" - a fitting term for a tuner that fights the conventional notion of what a daily driver should look, perform, and sound like.
Perhaps it was this spirit that led Richmond, British Columbia-based SR Auto Group to name their 2011 Scion xB something so rebellious. It is a car that definitely doesn't follow the established order – even when it comes to the modifications arena.
One look at the SR Auto Anarchy and it's apparent that the team has accomplished something tremendous with this modification. The car radiates a classy, almost-luxury feel, but the parts don't define the car like so many other projects. Instead, the upgrades strengthen the character of the car, while not taking away any of its original integrity.
The approach SR Auto took simply enhanced the stock features of the xB, starting with the exterior. Using an AIT Racing DL Style B-Magic body kit, the natural cube look of the xB is emphasized by making the car wider and more box-like. In addition, custom flares and reshaped front and rear fenders give the body harder edges and a more aggressive look. Flush mounted fog lights accompany the Alumina Xenon HID headlights and Monarch puddle lamps in the front bumper to take care of the Anarchy's lighting system.
A carbon fiber hood, trunk, and spoiler from Seibon provides a nice contrast to the Military Grey paint job done by No.1 Collision. While the darker tone of the carbon fiber makes it stand out, it's not too in-your-face. The color reminds you of something you would see on a high-end luxury sedan, but at the same time it definitely isn't a stock paint option.
The lug nuts of the Anarchy's 19" Modulare M23 wheels are hand-painted Eccentric Blue to give the car another great visual cue. Your eye is instantly drawn to the wheels, but not so much that it takes away from the clean aesthetic of the rims.
The interior design of the SR Auto Anarchy is the epitome of class and style. Look inside the car and you'll immediately see the suede and leather upholstery job on the seats and door panels, made possible by Trim Up Interiors. Inspired by the Lamborghini Reventon, the work is more than impressive. Other interior highlights interior include a TRD carbon fiber shift knob and blue LED foot-well lights.
The back of the car houses a 32" Vizio LED Television and a pair of Hertz HX250D subwoofers. The sub enclosures are lit with blue LEDs to match the footwells, giving the front and back a proper feel. For the rest of the audio modifications on the xB, Hertz ECX 165 speakers are in the front while DCX 165s are used for the rear. A Kenwood KAC-8405 amp delivers the power to the speakers, while a Kenwood KAC-8105D Class D mono amp powers the subwoofers. Finally, a Kenwood DDX-616 head unit acts as master control for this sonic goodness.
As for performance mods, the upgrades start with a Descendant Racing DxBT-2 turbo, and Descendant intercooler and blow-off valve. A new exhaust system was added using Toyota Racing Development (TRD) parts, while engine tuning was taken care of by The Speed Syndicate. BC Racing struts and springs were installed along with a TRD sway bar to give the xB a low stance, and a TRD big brake kit and Nitto N555 tires provide extra stopping power and traction.
The Anarchy is truly a stunner. SR Auto has managed to take the meek, little Scion xB and turn it into a luxury beast. In recognition for their work, SR Auto was crowned champion of Scion Canada's Tuner Challenge in 2011. For winning, the team received $5,000 and was sent to SEMA where the Anarchy turned more than a few heads on the show floor.

Fire Explorers C.A.S.T CERT
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
What is CERT
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
The Driving Force The event that occurred on September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten; also not forgotten is how the Spirit of America was awakened that day and citizens came forth to volunteer their services. President George W. Bush harnessed to the spirit of volunteerism with the Citizen Corps Program. CERT is a part of the Citizen Corps Program.

Carpet cleaners and floor cleaners will help keep your home clean

Whether you're looking for an upholstery cleaner, a way to clean hardwood floors or a carpet spot cleaner, Sears' has a selection of floor scrubbers and carpet cleaners for your home. Most carpet cleaners are designed similar to a typical upright vacuum, making it easy to maneuver your steam cleaner where you want it to go.
Families with pets and small children understand the need for steam cleaning carpet cleaners. Between sticky snacks and pet mishaps, it's easy for carpet and other floor surfaces to look messy. Even certain hardwood floors benefits from the bacteria-killing power of steam, so your little one can crawl around freely. For furniture, Sears has a selection of cleaners that spot treat and can be used as upholstery cleaners. Simply use the spot cleaner with the appropriate floor cleaning products and you'll have clean furniture in no time.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We are a rescue, located in the Central Valley so please be willing to make the trip to see them if you are from out of the area. Our adoption process REQUIRES that an application must first be submitted and approved prior to meeting any of our pets.About Our Rescue Group:
Time has taught us recycled pets are simply pets with some experience that need to adapt to new and appropriate living situations. Having transported, fostered and adopted shelter pets, we see the reality of overpopulation and misguided expectations. Often these pets are abandoned through no fault of their own. A puppy grows up, people get married or divorced, children are born or go off to college, and, sadly, economic factors are just some of the reasons we have seen for abandonment of a once loved family member. Coming from a home, the environment of a shelter can be shocking, and a shelter assessment faulty. Fear can be misinterpreted. Lack of exercise can cause a dog to display behavior that is inappropriate. Undiagnosed physical conditions can give a false impression of some behaviors. These pets simply need to be brought back into a home environment and practice living skills.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb5YaW0kjy8

BlackRadioIsBack.com TV to Watch: "Adjust Your Color - The Truth About Petey Greene"
What's good to our FuseBox Radio Broadcast & BlackRadioIsBack.com supporters this fine Tuesday!
Just wanted to share some quality programming to watch from the people over at PBS & Independent Lens that's premiering tonight with the documentary Adjust Your Color: The Truth About Petey Greene.
Ralph "Petey" Greene was a Black Radio and TV Legend based in Washington, DC who is also known as one of America's first well known and popular "shock jocks" through his raw and uncensored shows on racism, poverty, sexuality and drug abuse through the power of "telling it like it is" to the Black American community and anyone else who would listen.
A lot of folks who were not in the DC area back in the day to be exposed to Petey Greene in his prime got a bit more familiar with his vibe and personality with the biographical movie about that was put out about 2 years ago starring Don Cheadle, Talk To Me.
That movie however only covered portions of what Petey Greene was about.
The producers and directors of this documentary (Loren Mendell, Terence Greene, Joe Fries and Bob DeMars) have used decades-old audio recordings and television shows that allow the man himself to narrate his life story along with interviews from others involved in his life, which should definitely make for some interesting viewing.
Check out the video of the Independent Lens: Adjust Your Color - The Truth About Petey Greene trailer below as well as some classic Petey Greene material & reading from our links - hope you enjoy everything!

So Wally has tagged me and now I must reveal 5 of my most inner deep dark secrets, well 5 things you didn't know at least. I'll let you decide which ones are my deep dark ones.
1. Many years ago, I used to be in a breakdancing team called the "South American Breakers" (no, I am not south American) and we performed for the Miss Australia quest, club openings, and won a westfields break competition.
2. I broke my nose for the first time doing point number 1 above.
3. I didn't go to Uni and dropped out of computer classes in high school because it was so boring, and the teacher was unbearable.
4. I am a 4th degree black belt in Budo Jitsu Close Quarter Combat.
5. I was employed for a while as a commercial investigator and attended Tafe while studying to be a private and commercial investigator. I served summons for a while and other commercial investigation activities until I determined there is no money in it and everyone you deal with tends to dislike you.
So who to tag next .... hmmm .. let me see (I hope they haven't been tagged yet):
Joseph Cooney, Troy Magennis, Nick Wienholt, Ken Schaefer and Daniel Crowley-Wilson.

Comedy critics' picks: More comics to bust our guts
Critics' picks
The ComedyFest is over, but is it ever really over in Vancouver? Not judging by the acts coming to town this season.
Brian Regan
(March 17 at the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts)
Regan continues to pack theatres across North America without the benefit of any TV exposure, save for the odd talk-show set.
The Draw: Arguably the funniest man in comedy, Regan is the rare comic's comic who actually appeals to fans, too.
Target Audience: Prudes love him because he works clean, but don't let that get in the way of a solid belly laugh. The guy is a master.
Jay Mohr
(March 30 at the River Rock Show Theatre, Richmond)
Ever wonder who started all those Christopher Walken impressions? Look no further than Mohr, who, while not a full-time impersonator, does a whole host of other great ones.
The Draw: Mohr tells tales out of school. His stories about partying with Tracy Morgan are priceless, complete with a spot-on impression.
Target Audience: Like almost every other comic, the man has his own podcast now: Mohr Stories. Fans of it, sports radio, and mid-'90s SNL are sure to be in attendance.
Penn & Teller
(March 30 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre, Coquitlam)
You don't like magic? Then you've never seen Penn & Teller. But that would be impossible, since they're everywhere. So you do like magic after all.
The Draw: These guys are one of the top draws in Vegas at their own theatre. It's art, comedy, skepticism, and wonder all rolled into one show.
Target Audience: The little kid in all of us. Sounds sucky, but hey, it's magic!
Neil Hamburger
(April 6 at the Waldorf Cabaret)
Tired of slick professionals with their clever patter? Looking for more riddles and phlegm in your comedy? Hamburger is the ticket.
The Draw: The man is a spectacle to behold, with his old tuxedo, comb-over, and juggling three drinks while delivering his act.
Target Audience: If you're in on the joke, he's a riot; if you're not, he might cause one.
John Pinette
(April 14 at the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts)
Here's another comic in the Regan vein: next to no TV exposure, works clean, sells out theatres. Why? Might have something to do with him being extremely funny.
The Draw: If you feel bad about your eating habits, the larger-than-life comic will make you feel better on his Still Hungry tour.
Target Audience: The odd fan might be hoping to catch a glimpse of Edna Turnblad, but this is strictly standup, not a touring production of Hairspray.
Darrin Rose
(April 22 at the Arts Club Revue Stage)
The surprise of the Canadian TV season is Mr. D, Gerry Dee's sitcom. The show is actually funny. Rose is one of a few standup comics in the series with supporting roles.
The Draw: He won't be the smartass buddy on his Chasing Manhood tour but he was nominated for Best Male Standup at the 2011 Canadian Comedy Awards, so there's a chance he might still be a smartass.
Target Audience: Mr. D and Video on Trial may not be setting the Nielsen ratings on fire, but they have their die-hard fans.
Darryl Lenox
(April 26 to 28 at the Comedy MIX)
Lenox is one of the best comics to ever come out of Vancouver. Okay, he's American, but he lived 14 years in the city and this is where his act developed.
The Draw: You won't hear a more knowledgeable and hilarious American take on Canada and Canadians.
Target Audience: Armchair philosophers. The man exudes a confidence and calm on-stage like few others, and his comedy gets deep.
Lewis Black
(May 4 at the Red Robinson Show Theatre, Coquitlam)
The real-life personification of Network's Howard Beale, only Black has been mad as hell for a lot longer.
The Draw: One of these days the guy's head is going to explode. This might be the night.
Target Audience: Kids raised by their grandparents.
Joan Rivers
(May 5 at the River Rock Show Theatre, Richmond)
She's more than a Shopping Channel shill. Joan Rivers is one of the grand dames of comedy, with the mouth of a sailor who has Tourette's.
The Draw: A month shy of 79 when she plays here and she'll still put on a fast-paced 90-minute show.
Target Audience: Rivers might skew to an older crowd but that's a shame, especially since many of them will walk out after about the fifth time she yells the C-word.
Robin Williams and David Steinberg
(June 8 and 9 at the River Rock Show Theatre, Richmond)
Two comedy legends on one stage at the same time, but this is a sit-down affair. The Canadian ex-pat Steinberg will be asking the questions when he can squeeze them in.
The Draw: While not technically a comedy show, any time you get two accomplished comics together, sparks are going to fly.
Target Audience: Jokes and conversation on the subject of comedy—two nights yet! This is comedy-nerd nirvana.

Mary Wusterbarth thought her toddler was struggling with an ear infection when she seemed sluggish. Instead, a virus had attacked the little girl's heart, damaging it beyond repair. Brea needed a transplant.
Within three weeks of a 2007 doctor visit, the 20-month-old had exhausted the $1 million lifetime maximum on her health insurance. Her parents have scrambled ever since for ways to cover thousands of dollars in monthly medical costs.
"We have no idea what kind of financial future we have," said Wusterbarth, of Wake Forest, N.C. "The medical bills come almost daily. There's never an end."
Insurers set lifetime limits to keep rates low on some policies, but holders are learning that individual caps that seemed large quickly max out as health care costs soar. Several patient advocacy groups are prodding insurers to raise the caps, which generally don't adjust for inflation. Congress also is considering two bills that would do that.
Only 1 percent of employer-offered group plans — the largest health insurance segment — had caps as low as $1 million last year, according to a survey by The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. But 22 percent had caps of less than $2 million, and some want to see all these relatively low maximums eliminated.
Insurers, however, say most health coverage already offers either a comfortable maximum of several million dollars or unlimited coverage. They note that more government regulation could lead to higher coverage costs, and low lifetime caps help them offer a greater variety of coverages.
"I think the discussion needs to move into why do some health care services cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and what can we do to address those issues," said Robert Zirkelbach of America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade association representing nearly 1,300 insurers.
Kelly and Tom Treinen used to think the $1 million individual cap that came with the insurance they had for seven years offered plenty of protection.
Then doctors diagnosed their teenage son, Michael, with an aggressive form of leukemia in May 2007. His treatment called for 10 doses of a chemotherapy drug that cost $10,000 per dose. A 56-day stay in an intensive care unit cost about $400,000.
Michael reached his $1 million lifetime maximum in less than a year.
The Noblesville, Ind., family had to issue a public plea for help after a hospital told them it needed either $600,000 in certified insurance or a $500,000 deposit to continue preparing for a critical bone marrow transplant.
The Treinens raised $865,000 in six days. Money came from all over the United States and as far away as Germany. But Michael's cancer had stopped responding to chemotherapy, and he died May 25 before he could receive the transplant.
Mary Wusterbarth, a stay-at-home mother with two other children, thinks legislation on minimum lifetime caps is an excellent idea.
Her daughter, Brea, is 3 now and doing well. But family finances aren't as healthy.
The Wusterbarths spent more than $20,000 to adopt Brea from China in 2006. Then her heart began to fail, just months after she arrived at their Louisiana home.
She qualified for Medicaid while hospitalized for the transplant, but that coverage ended once she was released. And insurers won't cover Brea because of the medical history, a common problem with people who reach caps.
"We were actually told that if we would get a divorce or if he would quit his job, then she could get all the help she needed," Wusterbarth said. "But that's not the way we do things, so we just take it day by day."

CASTERTON'S Old Courthouse Community Centre was successful in obtaining its certificate of registration from the Adult Community Further Education Department, which will take it through to 2016.
And the centre also learned that it would receive Learn Local funding for 2014 of more than $25,000.
Centre chairman John Reid strongly believed that by receiving this funding the centre would be able to play an important role in providing adult education courses to Casterton and district at a significantly reduced cost.
"The community benefits are significant because these courses are delivered by tutors from the local community," Mr Reid said.
Full story in the Casterton News on Wednesday, January 29, 2014.

post #32147 of 787227/1/12 at 7:31amQuote:Originally Posted by robert in LA
The current cut (raised hem) of those jackets is always a little problematic. They probably work best either with jeans, and unbuttoned, or in a suit where the transition from the the jacket to the pants is made less obvious through the continuity of the fabric.
Wearing these jacket buttoned with off white trousers does show the hem line at the widest point of the hips, doesn't it? And this sharp emphasis on the broadest portion of the pelvis, undoes the outline of a deltoid shape of the male physique which first came to be admired when the Elgin Marbles arrived in London, in a surge of neo-classicism, and hasn't really abated since.
These shorter Jackets may have started in Japan among people in their 20's. Certainly there has been a wave of interest in de-constructing British traditional menswear there. Shinjuku was awash with it a while back. And since Brooks & J Press sell vigorously in this market, jackets with this cut may have made their way upstream from the trendier districts of Tokyo into American higher end menswear. Since the cut burlesques the very traditional full canvased and heavily padded suit, it is a look that seems to work best in ensemble with other garments which support the joke, or in a casual suit in which the raised hem is less easily seen.
Just my thoughts.
I agree with you Rob.
Fashion at the expense of Style again. Here the makers are saving a couple of square centimeters of fabric round the hem and quarters, what is more, they dont even have to pad or canvas it either, all making it cheaper to produce.
The wearer on the other hand doesn't get to have is ass or genitalia covered. Is that state of affairs to be considered 'sexy', 'hot', or 'fashionable' by the lemmings, I think so!!! Why, because they are told so by advertising, but they wouldn't know any better anyway.
But stylish, "never", whereas 'burlesque' and 'joke' seem appropriate. It looks as though the wearer has borrowed his younger brothers 'hand-me-down' jacket and it's just a bit too small.
@Mossrocks - Please understand, we are discussing the jacket here and not your good self, although it is probably unfortunate that you are wearing one. However I am also almost certain that if the members saw a necktie of this order of 'crime against style', they would order you to burn it summarily.post #32148 of 787227/1/12 at 7:48amQuote:
you think its ok to have the jacket so open while buttoned that you can pretty much see the entire front of the pants, belt and tie? While it may not be short by current standards, another hald inch lower plus one inch in the waist would be a big improvement on the fit.post #32149 of 787227/1/12 at 7:53ampost #32150 of 787227/1/12 at 7:56amSpending my Sunday clearing out my wardrobe a bit, found this suit in heavier textured wool that I thrifted ages ago and have barely ever worn. Was sure I'd throw it out, but when I look at it I'm starting to feel it could be serviceable for winter/late fall wear. Trying to push the envelope a bit with the brown/yellow/green:post #32151 of 787227/1/12 at 7:58amMaybe I'm just getting old, but I agree about the short jackets. A little goes a long way. It's very easy to go too short. Also, I hope the short jacket wearers aren't spending a lot of money on them as they'll be out of fashion in a blink or two, never to return.
post #32152 of 787227/1/12 at 8:01amGosroth, the ensemble makes you look homeless. The suit might be serviceable, but not with those accouterments.
post #32153 of 787227/1/12 at 8:28amQuote:+1 and I consider myself to be far less conservative than the senior members on this forum, so I am usually all for "pushing the envelope" but this does nothing for me. Kudos to you for having a crack at it though
post #32154 of 787227/1/12 at 8:33amQuote:And it´s has actually been arround for some time, broadly speaking...
post #32155 of 787227/1/12 at 8:37amthat suit has the biggest patch pockets I have ever seen. Looks like you can fit an Ipad in them. I think the suit is a bit too big everywhere for you, in terms of proportions of pockets/lapels but whatever you do, don't wear it with the sweater and tie you have on in that pic.post #32156 of 787227/1/12 at 8:39amThe other mossrocks factor is the relatively open quarters, that is, the lower parts of the coat front.
On the fit model, I imagine, they are moderately open. On mossrockss, they are extremely.
So what pulls the eye to the lower parts is not just the hip width but the way the angle is wider below the button point than above. This draws attention downward.
A coat of the same length with more closed quarters, or a double breasted coat, would not have the same effect.post #32157 of 787227/1/12 at 8:56amQuote:Originally Posted by edmorel

I think the suit is a bit too big everywhere for you, in terms of proportions of pockets/lapels but whatever you do, don't wear it with the sweater and tie you have on in that pic.Funny you would say that, because I was just trying fit my Ipad in one of them.Unfortunately it was about half an inch too big for the pocket.The suit does indeed need to be taken in a bit at the waist. The rest might hard to do anything about tough, but then again, I´m 56kgs at 183 cm so finding anything at all outside of MTM that is even remotely wearable is almost a cause for celebration.Thanks for your concerns, here is another try:post #32158 of 787227/1/12 at 9:09amThe suit appears to be from the 70s. Patch pockets make it a casual suit.
The large proportions look best with shirt collars and ties that are similarly sized.
However, you are a thin and narrow person, so even if all the clothing proportions were in alignment, they would still be wrong for your face and build, I suspect.
Just get a new narrow lapelled suit, and a white shirt, and a tie with a small pattern on a dark ground, and a white pocket square.
The old thing you are wearing is fun but you can't make it work, and your color and pattern matching is not good yet, so best to keep things as simple as possible.post #32159 of 787227/1/12 at 9:39ampost #32160 of 787227/1/12 at 9:42am^^
I'm assuming you know the jacket is way too tight in the waist for you. Your color combination in the outfit is pretty classic, so that is good, but the fit of the jacket/pants is too distracting in the picture.Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear- HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

Maine Boatbuilders Show is next month
Posted onThe 22nd annual Maine Boatbuilders Show, scheduled for March 20-22 in Portland, Maine, will feature more than 200 builder exhibitors from the Northeast, Canada and the West Coast.
Displays will include skiffs, canoes, and sail- and powerboats of all sizes built of fiberglass, wood and composite materials. There will also be a variety of related businesses, such as yacht brokers, engine manufacturers, marine-related services, and boatbuilding schools.
"The event brings together boatbuilders and the public in an informal atmosphere," show sponsor Phin Sprague Jr. said in a statement. "Because there are no dealers at the show, our exhibitors are here talking with people about their designs, boat product lines and new ideas in the industry."
Other activities will include a lecture series for builders and boat owners, and an auction of marine equipment to benefit the Maine Maritime Academy Alumnae scholarship fund.

text: Depending on where you live, FL heat could affect you. My relatives in WI and MN find even the spring weather to be uncomfortable. Just keep hydrated, wear a hat, and use your head. Sunblock is NOT for sissys, unless you enjoy spending day 2 and after suffering with a nasty sunburn. I've only been to the parks over July 4th and in the spring. The differences in those dates is considerable, but then we're talking a major holiday and April/May. I'm sure someone else with more experience in a variety of attendance dates will be more helpful.

Tavern-Style Politics in the Nation's Capital
Liberty on the Rocks is one of Washington, DC's most popular gathering places. A place where you can become acquainted with others you may not have met otherwise – individuals who believe in the principles of our Founding Fathers but who may be of different political affiliations or completely different backgrounds. In a setting where you are free to relax and speak your mind, we seek to initiate the energy and dialogue necessary to move America from the grassroots up, toward the constitutional principles of freedom used to found this nation.
