Untitled (Bettie Page) Copyright 1951, 2013 Jack Faragasso Used with Permission
As a young art student in Manhattan during the early 1950s Jack Faragasso happened to be in the right place at the right time. Through a series of contacts, he found himself in a studio in 1952 taking photographs of an amateur model who was posing for three photographers. Each ponied up three dollars for the session. While Faragasso doesn't mention it, the studio was likely maintained by floundering Jazz musician Cass Carr. The model was Bettie Page, and she literally lived around the corner from the primitive studio.
Faragasso tells the story of how he came to take the photographs here, nearly all which are previously unpublished, and in doing so he reveals much about the workings of the semi-legal practice of nude modeling during what has come to be known as the "Camera Club" period of the model's career. His photographs also reveal (which may come as something of a surprise) that Ms. Page was quite willing to pose completely nude, even at this early point in her career.
To my knowledge, no one has yet mentioned one of the reasons, if not the primary reason, Bettie Page was the most unforgettable pinup model in history. It is the lack of symmetry in her face. Ms. Page had one sleepy eye. Maybe no one has mentioned it because all were looking at other attributes. Jack Faragasso provides here the most dramatic illustration of this "imperfection" in the remarkable untitled photograph above from 1951 which is chosen to open the book. A key photograph of the model, and for that alone this book is a valuable contribution. There is beauty and pathos in equal measure. Would a publisher have chosen to put this portrait on one of the hundreds of magazine covers which featured Ms. Page during the 1950s and well into the 1960s? Unlikely. Bettie Mae Page, her happy face off and guard slightly down, a working woman on the fringe? In that humanity is not only much of her appeal, but the truth. Jack Faragasso captured it.
While the photo would not sell a line of "retro" clothing, or likely become a tacky refrigerator magnet, it reveals as much about the model as any photo.
Perhaps it illustrates the difference between an artist taking a photograph and a pornographer taking a photograph. Irving Klaw (actually, for the most part his sister Paula Klaw) and several dozen others took beautiful photos of the model over her brief career, but even those who have lived with and studied those famous unseemly poses will have to admit some of the work here is just as interesting and certainly a gift from the past.
There are some 30 photographs here, as Mr. Faragasso shot one roll. The only props are a pearl necklace, some lingerie and in several shots a butterfly chair. Bettie Page is Mid-Century modern. The work is in black and white…often stark. Ms. Page affects a few of her standard looks, but she is tired. She is still unabashedly beautiful.
Mr. Faragasso is a painter, a teacher and a successful author of notable instructional books for artists. Early in his career, he sold a few paperback book illustrations for what are now called vintage sleaze paperbacks based on these photographs during the 1950s, though he was much more noted for the work he did for science fiction books.
Because the model is a cult figure and some of the fans are beyond obsessive, there will be those who question the quality of the work, the reproduction of the photos, you name it. Not this reviewer. I'll take any opportunity to see unpublished material of the model, and I wouldn't quibble on the price either. The discounted price on Amazon currently is less than a carton of cigarettes. Anyone who claims membership in a Bettie Page fan club who questions spending the price of a movie ticket to see these photos is a serious sour grape. One of them has already complained publicly he will have trouble "improving" on them with Photoshop. WHAT?
If you don't think some thirty previously unseen photographs of the most influential pinup model of the 20th century isn't something of a gift, especially at this price... you have happened upon this review by mistake.
Is Jack Faragasso Bunny Yeager, whose recent book by Petra Mason was also reviewed here? No. Has he made an important contribution to our understanding of the most iconic (and abused) model of the 20th century? Yes, he most certainly has.
The Early Photographs of Bettie Page: An American Icon Photographs & Drawings by Jack Faragasso is Available at Amazon and from the Publisher Binary Publications HERE. 54 pages. Published 2013. Mr. Faragasso's website is HERE

How do you clean your Congoleum floors? Mine looks like a wood floor and I used some sort of wax on it and now what a mess I have! It is all streaked and awful looking now. I have bought some Bright & Easy stripper and cleaner and waiting on the polish to come in that I have ordered to re-do my whole floor with. Has anyone stripped theirs and re done it? If so please tell me how it went and how it looks now.
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used Holloway House Professional concentrated wax remover & Super Cleaner- it didn't have any ammonia- important to me as I have had "chemical pneumonia" & nearly died. This was several years back when I got my dad & I was going to get some new Congoleum for the bathroom. Ha!! It was $50. a square ft. So I got that cleaner & cleaned the old wax off, it wasn't hard to do & just used Brite on it, I find with Brite I don't have to strip it hardly at all. It doesn't yellow. Don't know if the company is still in business or not. Also with all the "green" laws & changes the formulas on most products are changing so might not work as well as before. Open a window or run a fan when using any of this type product (or oven cleaner) as it can really affect the lungs! Oh, both bathrooms have Congoleum & both still look great, no nicks or anything they were made to last!! 1 looks like stones in light cream with slight greenish cast other is beige white,don't know how to describe.Both pieces were leftover from homes where dad installed it & people did not want to keep leftovers, salesman had really over estimated but they allowed employees to take home these pieces, it's all 1 piece no seams. We had new home & no money & cheap 12in. tile, builder wanted to install, dad flashcoved it so if toilet runs over it won't ruin the walls before you can get it mopped up. Good Luck! |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Spunky, a Gainesville Harrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Harrier for sale in Gainesville, or seeking a Harrier dog from a breeder in Gainesville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gainesville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gainesville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Harrier breeders who help with Harrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gainesville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Customer Reviews for Dining Room White / Off-White Blindsgalore Blackout
"Great Warranty Service"
By customer from Denver, CO
I bought this as a cordless blind 2 years ago. One of the interior cords frayed through in the headrail and broke. I called Blindsgalore and explained the problem. They got the manufacturer on the phone who decided they would replace the blind under warranty. We received the replacement blind a couple of weeks later as promised. We were quite pleased with the entire experience.

By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!

A week or so ago, I wrote an article for Counter Attack that attempted to look at whether we might try to definitively answer a burning question about North London Premier League soccer club Tottenham Hotspur: are they as good a team without their Welsh winger and European star Gareth Bale?
Rather than taking the conventional route of tallying up goals scored or assists completed, I tried to use some rudimentary advanced statistics to look if Spurs (as they're known) are the same overall team without him.
One of these statistics is Total Shots Ratio (TSR), a simple metric (shots for divided by shots for plus shots against). Apparently, of all the available team stats in soccer, TSR cleaves fairly closely to expected table position. In other words, it's a pretty good indicator of whether a team is in charge of their competitive destiny.

Ever daydreamed of lifting all the plants out of a bed, amending the soil some more and replanting in a more perfect design? That daydreaming can get you in a lot of trouble. I could not garden this season till now because of surgery recovery time. So I keep gardening in my dreams.Reordering my 8 year old garden. Fixing all the rookie mistakes. Well I am doing it for real now. I refer to it as the "Big Dig" The tricky thing is, every bed has to have 30-90% dug because there is dividing to do. Give aways to arrange and plants from bed 1 have to go to bed 3 and some from 2 have to go to 1 etc. etc.(12 beds in all)18 days of digging do for about 5 hours a day. Oh yes, and no new plan would be complete without a few new plants ordered. Some Daylilies, Clematis and Peonies. There has been so many trips to buy bags of composted manure I could of bought a cow. It's been a boot camp intensive shape up for my reactivated muscles. Just add a little Tylenol and I can sleep like the dead. But, I am so excited to see the garden next season. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, I have done that, and the problem is not the bed itself, but, as you say, all the work in the other beds because of the work in the one bed. I do enjoy the final product though. |

Yeah wren, I hear you - I'm recovering too, but I have a ways to go yet. You are so right - it doesn't stop the day dreaming at all... Since I moved to this new build property 6 years ago, I've had a long-term garden plan. Finally, now that the trees and shrubs are getting more mature, it's time for me to give away or transplant loads of sun-loving day lilies and bring forward all those hostas I have tucked away. And to replace the lily blooms that I'll be losing, I'm also creating new pockets for hydrangeas, my new love. Really, what is wrong with that snooty Madonna? My goal eventually is to have a woodland/wildlife/low-maintenance landscape. Thank goodness that I have lots of young and broke teenage neighbours, always ready and willing to work for pocket money. |
I have the moving still ahead of me next year or so. Haven't decided what we are going to do with this old lot but the house will have to come down for sure. All my plants are in holding beds sort of so they have never really had a permanent home. Last year for me was a write off due to an injury and this year has been crazy with a litter of puppies and so much rain! I just finished potting up over 200 daylilies and planting about 100 more. Also about 100 irises so far. Check out the pics on the daylily forum. I haven't even stepped into the back 40 (as I like to call it) yet. That is my next-two-week project. There are over 200 peonies in that garden! So, in short, I can totally understand your situation! Thank God for Tylenol and a heating pad! Wish I had a wife too! Lol :) |

''Big Brother 5'': A bad turn for the mystery sibs
First, let me get the Thank Gods out of the way. Thank God "Big Brother" is back. Thank God I no longer have to pretend to care about "American Idol" or "The Apprentice." Thank God my boy Dalton Ross handed the reins of this TV Watch over to me. Thank God Julie Chen is no longer sprinkling glitter on her bare shoulders before hosting the... Wait a minute. She's still pulling that disco crap. Nevertheless, I take great joy in the fact I can now dwell for hours in the "BB" chat rooms, just so I can swap opinions about important subjects like how the fish tank is the new FOTH (that's the "front of the house" cam, for you noninitiates).
And yet, don't assume this whole column is gonna be a big wet kiss to "BB." After all, this season's idea of a new "twist" is "Project DNA: Do Not Assume." What the hell does that mean? Do not assume the jelly will be grape? Do not assume there will be water in the pool? Do not assume a blood relative isn't sleeping in the next room unbeknownst to . . . ? Wait another minute. All I can say is, poor Cowboy Mike, though I'm not sure which was the more jarring moment this week -- when Mike discovered he had a long-lost purple-haired half sister in the house (Jennifer, who calls herself Nakomis) or when he said, "The margarita party was phenomenon!" Nakomis, meet your illiterate bro in a ten-gallon hat. I'll admit I found this twist pretty darn cruel at first. (And I didn't buy the letters from Daddy Dearest claiming he didn't know Mike existed until now. As crazy Marvin would say, I believe that like buffalos flying out of my ass!) But hell, it was great "BB" TV -- even when resident hot boys Jase and Scott (who need to lose the bandannas, already) assumed it was a predetermined strategy by the two. Now brother and sister are probably working at a disadvantage and through no fault of their own. (Heck, head of household Jase gave her the first eviction nomination, along with the other Mike in the house.)
As for the cast, I'll admit Jase has a mighty fine set of pecs, but his presence in the house is way predictable, just like the tall, dark, and dunderheaded Scott, a near carbon copy of Roddy from "BB3," minus the intelligence. And I've just about had it with the requisite hot brunettes (Lori), sassy gays (Will) and ditsy blondes (Holly). Would it kill 'em to cast a Latino or two? How about another one-legged jock like Eddie from "BB1"?
It is during these quiet moments of serious reflection and doubt that I turn to my online buddies for guidance and support. "Face it," says Whymusti of chatroom 90, after reading my complaints about the cookie-cutter cast. "You'll be enthralled in two weeks."
Ah, he knows my type well.

Three models, two buckles, one spirit
John Lobb created the first William in 1945. Named after the former director of John Lobb Paris, the model owes its originality to its double buckle, an unprecedented pattern in shoemaking. Over time and through various changes in fashion, this distinctive design would become the epitome of timeless masculine elegance.
Inspired by aviator boots, William remains the most iconic of all the John Lobb models. It was followed by the William II and the William II Boot, which continued to develop the original style. With a wide variety of sole options and upper stitching, the appeal of the William continues to grow.
The signature of a style
In 1982, John Lobb launched its first ready-to-wear collection with the William. It now features more than forty different styles, manufactured within the same processes and philosophy as with the Bespoke tradition, the house's original savoir-faire.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of ready-to-wear, we pay tribute to this iconic model, the worldwide signature of the John Lobb spirit.

ok, angry black man. Good job though.

If gunners were as violent as anti-gunners believe, logically there wouldn't be any anti-gunners left.
I mixed on it. On one hand, he's got a valid point. Far too many people that bitch about using strict form don't look like they've ever pushed themselves in the gym. Additionally, there are valid training methodologies that call for a bit of cheating. On the the other hand, proper form is about getting the most out of an exercise. It's also about preventing injury from performing an exercise in a poor fashion over a long period of time.
That said, the guy is still pretty funny.
The dude has drive and it shows. Considering his age and his heart condition he's a bad mother fucker.
If gunners were as violent as anti-gunners believe, logically there wouldn't be any anti-gunners left.

Tankard, Colts and Challenge should each attract teams that "belong" at that level, or are trying to belong at that level. If the goal is to increase entries, I suspect we'll find more Tankard-level players entering Colts, rather than Challenge-level players playing up.

I think short term you may see an increase in entries, however it may soon just become the second choice for Tankard teams that don't advance. Giving teams two events to enter instead of one, is not increasing overall participation. Now, other than the Challenge,(which now if you don't have a couple of solid recent juniors on your team you're in pretty tough)what events does the OCA have for the "competetive club" curler? I think the OCA should be looking at setting up Colts/Trophy more along the lines of of the Dominion. Then you would have an event which solid club teams could enter with a reasonable chance of success.

Great comments here everybody! I've written an article on Colts and it has been put in the most current edition of the OCR. I hope everyone gets a chance to check it out. JH

I have competed in what looks like my one and only OCA Event this year. Why? Because if you cant commit the time and money to an OCT Team, you cant put together a competitive OCA Team. Im not knocking the OCT here, but it has created two tiers of curlers in Ontario, and Im annoyed with the OCA for not recognizing this. You are either a competitive curler and commit time and money to OCT events, or you are a club curler. From my point of view the competitive club curler is dead. Most OCT Teams are put together with members from across the province, who, in many cases, other than being OCA competitive members dont even belong to a club, or if they do, its not the same club. This is fine if youre putting together a team for OCT events, or any event leading to a National, but I have a problem with the other OCA events. I could be wrong, and Im sure Ill be corrected if I am, but is not the purpose of the OCA to support and promote curling and curling clubs in Ontario? In their efforts to increase participation in their events, to help cover their expenses, they have killed the competitive club curler. If they are going set up all the OCA events so that all OCT teams are fully eligible to enter, then why have two separate organizations? The OCA should be implementing rules for all events that dont lead to a national, that support and promote the competitive club curler. I dont see any point in the time and expense of running additional events for OCT teams. For all OCA events that dont lead to a National, I think all team members should be FULL members of the SAME club. If the OCA wants to increase participation, they have to set up events for the competitive CLUB curler. Otherwise, they can continue to watch participation decline, until it is only the top twenty or so OCT teams entering their events province wide.
An excellent analysis of the trend that began when the WCT created the slam events. And the true fault lies not with your OCT/OCA, but with the CCA, WCT & WCPA. The CCA has stood back and allowed the WCT & WCPA to create the illusion that there are only a select few good teams in our country. Now very few competitive club players see through this ruse. It has been accomplished through a grandfathering points system, federal funding for a select few and a curling media that fawns over these teams while creating a myth of invincibility that has turned people off of entering playdowns. Club memberships, while down across the country, have not dropped in relationship to playdowns participation. People have swallowed this myth whole-to the ultimate detriment of our sport. Instead of creating large junior club programs with development instruction for all, we have 'high-performance' camps for the privileged, select few chosen not always for their skill, but often because they are well liked. Our greatest strength as a game has always been the statement that on any given day, any team can beat any other team. While we probably cannot return to the days of club playdowns leading to nationals, we can promote and bring this truth back to the forefront. And , perhaps, it might rekindle the dreams of the competitive club players-because they are still out there. If not, we will continue this slide and become a sport of the rich and select few-like Europe. We will end up not a sport for all, but a sport of snobs.

Excellent points. I think a good survey needs to be done across the OCA clubs with the assurance that the OCA will not use those numbers to increase fees etc...there is no clear picture on numbers. But doing a quick glance at participation levels - Junior entries are way down...the canary in the coal mine? This is what the OCA and the CCA needs to be concerned about. Focus on the recreational curler. Maybe a survey of how bonspiels are doing. Some are cancelled, some have drop to just one draw, many are not full. I agree that if an event does not lead to a national championship then yes more stringent rules should apply.

Why don't we wait and see how the removal of Colts eligibility affects the entries for Colts this year. I do not expect to see a huge influx of exclusive OCT teams into Colts or other OCA events not leading to a national championship.

And I do not expect to see an influx of entries in OCA events in general.
So how did the new OCA Colts criteria, i.e. no criteria, affect this years entries: Zone - #Entries 1 - 1 2 - 3 3 - 5 4 - 3 5 - 3 6 - 8 7 - 9 8 - 10 9 - 9 10 - 4 11 - 4 12 - 7 13 - 13 14 - 6 15 - 9 16 - 7 Total: 100 entries Don't know last years numbers but I think it was a good move to get more entries Congrats to the eventual winner Richard Krell (K-W Granite)

Just bringing this back because I miss J-Ho. My math is a little different from Guest's, but here we go. For Colts the entries are: this year 92 plus Zone 2 which isn't posted yet, and last year 106. The OCA doesn't post actual numbers for prior years, just the difference, being: 2012 -2, 2011 -6, 2010 +1. For comparison I also looked at the Challenge, the numbers are: 2014 91, 2013 107, 2012 +2,2011 -22, 2010 -24.I speculate the reason for the big drop in 2010 & 2011, has something to do with relaxing the Challenge rules in 2009, so that Junior patches no longer count. It's obvious entries are still declining not only in Colts, but all OCA events. The way to increase participation is to make more events appeal to club teams. If the purpose of these events is to introduce curlers to competative curling, then they need to cater to those teams.One way to do this is to restrict the entry requirements, not eliminate them. I've heard the same comments numerous times about teams, that the players have never been in the clubs they're representing, and are made up of players from 3 or 4 different clubs.I agree,that for events not leading to a National, teams should be restricted to players who are full members of the same club.Then maybe the competative curlers will start getting other players from thier clubs to enter these events with, instead of just teaming up with thier buddies they've known since juniors to go for a party at provincials. The competative curlers have to recognize that if paticipation continues to decline, in the future, instead of a having a great time at Provincials on the OCA's tab at these events,the events won't exist due to lack of interest and support.

quote: teams should be restricted to players who are full members of the same club. This Idea has been brought up before but the OCA does not have the jurisdiction to dictate club policy to its member clubs. A rule like that would be up a club board to put in place and with dwindling memberships many clubs are willing to let players take out " associate memberships" that allow them to play an event without actually ever playing in the club, Clubs need the revenue. I know, as an example, that our club once required all players representing the club at an OCA event to play in at least one of our leagues, but that rule has changed. We need the cash.

Scholarships for Poland
See Another Part of the World
Poland serves as the geographical and cultural crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe. Once a heavily Communist country, this large country is now free from much of the ties that bound up its economy and social scene. Today, the country enjoys a crucial position as the largest of the former Eastern European states and one of the most populous members of the European Union. Poland presents many opportunities for students including language and culture studies and those focused on the socio-political environment historically and from a contemporary standpoint. Poland has a strong academic tradition goings back to the 14th century. The Jagiellonian University in Kraków was established in 1364, as the second university in Central Europe. Today, Warsaw University is ranked first in the Top Coder international IT ranking.
Many opportunities for funding are available to students wishing to study in Poland. The governments of both Poland and the US offer a number of scholarships, as do private institutions and colleges in both countries. Check with both your own college, and with the ones you have an interest, and find out what assistance they may offer.
Government Scholarships
For undergraduates and underprivileged students the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships are a boon. The aim is to help those looking to study abroad who would not otherwise be able to afford it. The goal of the program is to create a more diversified field of people in the ever growing international market. You must be a Pell Grant recipient to qualify and be pursuing an engaging tack of study. Over 2,300 of these awards of up to $5,00o are given out annually for study abroad in hundreds of far-flung locations, including Poland.
The David L. Boren Scholarships are equally competitive and well known. Undergraduate and graduate students may apply for consideration. Top-notch academics and a passion for language and cultural studies may earn you up to $20,000 in travel funds for a summer, semester or year program. Boren Fellowships award up to $24,000 for graduate students, with an extra $6,000 that can be applied to domestic language study. These awards come with the condition that awardees return service in a national security agency. The duration of the NSEP Service Requirement is one year or the duration of assistance provided under the program, whichever is longer. Applicants with a career interest in security are given preference as are longer terms of study.
Erasmus Mundus scholarships are offered by the European Commission to promote higher education through scholarships and cooperation between Europe and other countries. This program offers scholarships to students at all levels of higher education from all parts of the world. Awards are available to follow an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course or Joint Doctorate at two or more European universities, as well as scholarships to promote the mobility of students between European and non-European universities.
Private Funding
The Kosciuszko Foundation has been providing educational exchange between Polish and American students and scholars since 1925. In concert with the Polish Ministry of Education and Sports the Kosciuszko Foundation is able to offer the following scholarship funds applicable for those students wishing to study in Poland:
- Year Abroad Program provides a scholarship for a semester or year for U.S. students with an interest in Polish Studies. Awards cover all expenses except for travel costs. Applicants must have an excellent academic record and be pursing a four-year undergraduate degree.
- Graduate Study and Research in Poland Grants are provided to graduate students whose research or studies require a semester or year in Poland. Awards are applied to living expenses, and do not cover tuition or travel.
- Students, undergraduate or high school seniors, who want to spend a summer studying Polish in Krakow at Jagiellonian University, or the John Paul II Catholic University in Lublin, may apply for the Tomaszkiewicz-Florio Scholarships. Applicants must be academically motivated and have an educational goal when applying. Awards cover room and board in Krakow, but funds for travel are limited.
Rotary International offers District grants for study in any field of study, for any level, length of time or location. To apply for a district grant, please submit your funding request directly to your district. Global grants provide funding for nursing and midwifery study overseas, as well as scholarships for graduate-level academic studies that relate to one or more of the areas of focus.
College Scholarships
Michigan State University students may qualify for the following scholarships:
- Students at the top of their class and heading off to Poland may apply for either the Charles and Marjorie Gliozzo Merit Scholarships or the Office of Study Abroad Academic Excellence Awards.
- The MSU Credit Union is one of the university's largest scholarship sponsors and therefore the widest selection of awards is drawn from this fund. Applicants are considered for a combination of academic merit and financial need. Up to $1,000.
- Forest Akers Scholarships are specifically held for those students who might not otherwise be able to financially afford a study abroad program. Applicants may not be receiving the Pell Grant, but must demonstrate a debilitating level of financial need. Up to $500 available.
- Out-of-state students may qualify for the Presidential Study Abroad Scholarship, for use with an approved, MSU study abroad program.
Student majors in Wayne State University's Department of German and Slavic Studies who are pursing Polish studies might qualify for the Friends of Jagiellonian University Scholarship. The funds make it possible for a varying number of scholarships to be awarded to students in the department who would like to study in Poland for a term. Funding varies.

Everyone in Phoenix is either trying to relax, or in the middle of relaxing, or reflecting on some recent attempt to relax. You hear the word constantly: in lobbies, in spas, waiting in line for coffee. Oh, it was so...relaxing. Oh, I hear that's very...relaxing. Exactly what we are all so tired from I couldn't say, but this city has long been regarded as the cure.
Relaxation has always meant golf here, but in the past year Phoenix has become much more interesting. Many of the classic resorts have been fluffing madly, growing more contemporary and piling on the indulgences. There's a younger vibe at the newer properties, including the city's first boutique hotel and three mega-resorts where the emphasis is on action. Hotel restaurants have retreated from the old country-club menus and begun fusing in every direction. The biggest change: Phoenix is now spa land. Where there used to be a few treatment rooms and a check-in desk, today you'll find the category-killers of relaxation.
If anything, there's almost too much choice. So many resorts, so many spas—and such subtle distinctions among them. Here, for the exhausted among you, our guide to the latest developments.
Sanctuary Camelback Mountain The Sanctuary definitely has buzz. At other resorts in town, you see guests breezing in with trollies of matched Hartmann luggage; at the Sanctuary, everybody glides in trailing one world-weary black roller bag and whips out a Prada wallet. The hotel is hot, the restaurant is hot, the spa is hot. How often does that happen?
Perhaps you remember the Sanctuary in its former life as John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch, a quiet little spot on a hillside in residential Paradise Valley where people played tennis all day and into the night and went to bed early. It closed in 2000 and was relaunched a year ago, with the 74 original "mountain casitas" as well as 24 new "spa casitas," the infinity pool of your dreams, and a spa (see "The Superspas," below).
Here's the novel way you book: first you choose a size (a room or a one-bedroom suite), then you choose a style. While the mountain casitas are low-key and traditional, the spa casitas are pretty jiggy even for a boutique hotel, with lots of crushed velvet and polished concrete and bright colors; each spa suite also has a big white soaking tub outdoors. The Sanctuary is proudest of its spa rooms, but I much preferred the mountain casitas, especially the suites. Erno Laszlo has done his first spa line exclusively for the Sanctuary, so bring a huge cosmetics bag for all the toiletries in your bathroom, many of which are based on neroli, an orange oil. The mini-bar has been expanded into a "beauty bar," and it's hard to ignore the Italian toothpaste, the tooth whitener, and the Kama Sutra Kit.

Google has been busy the past few weeks, signing agreements with three companies that specialize in providing wholesale electronics for businesses. In the past, this has only been Windows and Mac computers. However, with these three deals, Google has forged a way to provide their Chromebooks in businesses.
Back in January, Synnex signed on as the first wholesale distributor to provide Google's Chromebook Business Management Console to business looking to employ Chromebooks in their business. These tools give businesses the ability to manage Chromebooks on a large scale, and within the past couple weeks two more business, B&H Distibuting and Tech Data, have also begun to offer these tools.
Google already provided the Chromebook Business Management Console to businesses, but now these businesses can work with familiar companies to use it in their business. In addition, with major manufacturers offering Chromebooks, including Dell, HP, Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo, businesses can stick with a preferred brand and have a wide variety of Chromebooks to manage.
The Chromebook Business Management Console is cloud-based, offering flexibility and accessibility to the list of reasons why businesses are switching to using Chromebooks. The Chromebook's low cost, ease of use, and increasing potential all contribute to its growing market size. In addition, the suite of Google Apps that many businesses already use are available for Chromebooks, making the switch simple. This is why Microsoft has begun to take steps to prevent any further growth, by reducing their own prices and becoming more cloud-friendly.
With these companies marketing Chromebooks to their partners as a Windows replacement, businesses will be more willing to accept them. For example, Synnex provides training for teachers in K-12 schools on Chromebooks, so that they can use them to their full potential in the classroom. Back in January, Eddie Franklin, vice president of sales at Synnex, said, "We started talking with Google some time ago, and we identified a role we thought Synnex could fill in expanding the Chromebook channel, and we built a turnkey solution for the Chrome Management Console."
D&H Distributing also is working with K-12 schools, and Rob Eby, the Vice President for purchasing at D&H, said, "When you look across the landscape of our SMB resellers, they list education as one of the top verticals they do business in. This gives an opportunity to offer a solution [from Google]in addition to Microsoft."
The strong focus on the K-12 is caused by the high demand for Chromebooks in schools. As mentioned before, their low cost and ease of use give schools the ability to quickly place Chromebooks in the classrooms. However, the focus in not just on the education market; Tech Data is trying to get Chromebooks into businesses as well. Vice President of Marketing at Tech Data says that they are very confident about the growth of Chromebooks in business. "We may not have been the first to announce, but we are the largest distributor of Chromebooks in the U.S. We are well-versed in the product and ready to complete the solution and ready to roll. We've sold many Chromebooks to date. With the addition of our partnership with Google, this really expands our capabilities of offering the Google solutions."
This confidence has pushed the business sector to begin adopting Chromebooks as laptops for employees. It allows schools to more easily implement the Google platform of apps for their Chromebooks.

Everyone is welcome; the event is free to KBGF members and anyone who joins KBGF before or at the event. Cost is $10 per guest or non-member. You might make this your chance to join this treasure of a garden, dedicated to preserving Northwest native plants...and showing how to use them successfully in home gardens.
Tony (who was my high school civics teacher at Shorecrest, although he didn't seem that excited about my reminding him of that last time I saw him) will speak on birds and art in the garden at 7 p.m. at the Innis Arden Clubhouse, 1430 NW 188th Street in Shoreline, as part of the KBGF Annual Members Meeting.
A student of Art Kruckeberg's at the UW, Tony directed environmental education for the state of Washington for 30 years.

At my boutique job, I see a lot of guys shopping with their wives and girlfriends. Some of them are amazing shopping partners, helping their ladies pick out cute dresses and offering helpful feedback in the dressing room. Some of them are completely disengaged, plopping down on a chair immediately upon entering the store and grunting one-syllable responses when prompted, never looking up from their iPhones. And the rest are … less than pleasant: sighing dramatically, making snide comments, complaining constantly. Listen, you don't have to love going shopping (lord knows we hate it half the time), but if you do agree to accompany your lady to the mall, you might as well try to make the best of it. Here are a few dos and don'ts to help you be the best shopping partner you can be… Keep reading »

Does anyone know what might be wrong with this zucchini plant? It looks like it's only affecting the biggest leaf. I'm not sure whether it's a nutrient deficiency, too much nutrient, or too much light. I've checked the pH and the ppm and both are in range for zucchini.
I don't know if this is significant, but there's an odor coming from the plant, kind of like a metallic smell. If you touch the leaf and then sniff your hand, the smell gets transferred to your hand. Sounds strange but I've grown zucchini outdoors in the past without noticing something like this. Would appreciate your input on this before it gets worse. Thanks! BTW, the holes on the leaf are from dropping a piece of oaktag on it by accident and it tore the leaf (happened way before the leaf started changing color) |
Follow-Up Postings:
That could be a deficiency. But it could also be spidermites. I believe you need a strong magnifying glass to see them on the bottom of your leaves. |
Yap! I agree. I see it's not all over the leaf (and not on ALL the leaves). So - first call - look for bugs. |

"Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:1-4
"For I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.
I confess my iniquity;
I am troubled by my sin.
Many have become my enemies without cause;
those who hate me without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil
lodge accusations against me,
though I seek only to do what is good.
LORD, do not forsake me;
do not be far from me, my God.
Come quickly to help me,
my Lord and my Savior."
Psalm 38:17-22
"say to those with fearful hearts,
'Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.'"
Isaiah 35:4 (NIV)
"'Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?'"
Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV)
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

Samsung recently unveiled its newest chip set the Exynos 5 Octa during the recently concluded CES 2013 event in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Korean Tech giant may not have specified as to which device will sport this new and powerful chip set but still, it will get you all excited knowing that the company will soon unveil the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4.
It was earlier rumoured that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be the very-first Samsung device to land with the Octa-core chipset, but (a big one) The Korea Times begs to differ.
Now, according to the said publication, Chinese phone makers Huawei and ZTE will be the first ones to use Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa-core chipset. In addition, we will be seeing devices from the two bearing the said chipset this year.
Again, only Huawei and ZTE is said to be releasing devices bearing the said chipset for now. This will only give the two Chinese companies an edge against other smartphone makers (well except Samsung of course) and more market shares. And yes, the two companies did confirm that they will be using the Exynos 5 Octa chipsets on their up and coming devices, but they did not elaborate more on their deal with the Korean tech giant.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is said to host a bigger display screen at 6.3". This will only erase the current need for small tablets (7" tablets). Why? Well, for one, this is not your average tablet, this happens to be a mobile phone as well. So why buy a tablet and carry a separate phone when you can have this?
We may know little about the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy S4 now, but it is only a couple of weeks more until the Mobile World Congress 2013 commences. Let's all wait and see which rumours are true and which rumours are false.
