Past Presidents And Chairs
1876 (or earlier)
- A group of sporting gentlemen meet regularly in the bar of a Manhattan hotel to trade stories about their shooting accomplishments and the talents of their dogs. Eventually they form a club and name it after their favorite hotel: The Westminster Breeding Association. Early on, the club owns a kennel and raises Pointers for hunting and field trials.
- The Westminster Breeding Association helps stage a dog show in Philadelphia in celebration of America's centennial. The show is such a success that the members decide to hold their own dog show to allow them to compare their dogs in a setting away from the field. The members change the name of their organization to the Westminster Kennel Club.
- The First Annual New York Bench Show of Dogs, given under the auspices of the Westminster Kennel Club, is held in the Hippodrome at Gilmore's Garden in New York City, drawing an entry of 1,201 dogs.
The club pays rent of $1,500 for three days, adding a fourth day during the show to accommodate the overwhelming public interest. The proceeds from that fourth day are donated to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Dogs are listed in the catalog as "not for sale" or for sale at prices which range from $50 to $10,000.
- The entry fee is $2, which includes feed and care of the dog.
- This year's Premium List contains show rules and regulations, adopted together by Westminster and the Philadelphia Kennel Club. A Board of Appeals at the show is made up of three members of each club. It was an early step in the search for a set of rules under which the shows all across the country might be held. There would be no national governing body until the founding of AKC in 1884.
- The Westminster Kennel Club is elected by the American Kennel Club as the AKC's first member club. The American Fox Terrier Club becomes the next member in 1886. Westminster is the only all breed club to be a member until the Rhode Island Kennel Club joins in 1897.
- In accordance with new rules adopted by the American Kennel Club, every dog entered at Westminster must be registered with the American Kennel Club. And in those cases where a potential entrant was not registered with the AKC, the Westminster Show Secretary accepted a registration application and fee (50 cents) and forwarded it to the AKC.
- With her assignment of 117 St. Bernards at Westminster, Anna Whitney becomes the first woman to judge a dog show in America. She judges every year for the next seven years, but it would be 1901 before another woman judges any dog show in the U.S.
- "The Czar of Russia" is listed as the breeder of a Siberian Wolfhound entered at this year's show.
- W.M. Bangs, M.D., writing in Cosmopolitan magazine: "These shows have been very popular and they have had great effect in forming and developing the taste of lovers of the dog; (Westminster Kennel Club) has had great effect in improving the quality of the dogs owned for use and companionship. Of this there can be no doubt ..."
One of the entries at this year's show is a Russian Wolfhound with a listed owner of "The Emperor of Germany."
- The entry fee for Westminster is raised from $3 to $5, where it will remain until 1947.
- Philanthropist J. P. Morgan makes the first of his many appearances at Westminster with his Collies.
- Famous American journalist Nellie Bly enters her Maltese at Westminster, some four years after she made a record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes, racing the record of Phineas Fogg in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.
- For the first time, handlers wear arm bands with the catalog number of their dog.
- With 1,752 dogs on hand, Westminster becomes the largest dog show ever held anywhere in the world, surpassing the last show held at the Crystal Palace in London.
- The award of Best In Show is given for the first time at Westminster. A panel of 10 judges makes the decision, although their names were not recorded. (In fact, the names making up the panel of Best In Show judges were not recorded until 1912).
- The number of dogs entered reaches 2,000 for the first time.
- Ch. Warren Remedy, a Smooth Fox Terrier, is awarded Best In Show for the third consecutive year, a feat never since duplicated at Westminster.
- A class is offered for the first time for Fire Department Dalmatians, won by Mike of Engine Company 8 of 51st Street.
- One of the entries in the Miscellaneous Class this year is listed as a "Truffles Hunter." Later, nearly 30 dogs of different breeds compete in the Best In Show ring. A panel of five judges selects Ch. Matford Vic for her second consecutive BIS at Westminster
- A special hero of World War I, a German Shepherd named Filax of Lewanno who had brought 54 wounded soldiers to safety, was exhibited at Westminster.
- The profits of this show were donated to the American Red Cross in support of the war effort.
- Amongst the donors of special trophies this year: Mrs. Payne (Helen Hay) Whitney, who was the first president of the Cairn Terrier Club of America. Her father, John Hay, was personal secretary to President Lincoln, Ambassador to the UK, and Secretary of State). Also making donations: Mrs. John Philip Sousa, wife of the band leader and composer; Mrs. Rodman Wanamaker, wife of the department-store owner and patron of the arts from Philadelphia; and Mrs. F.W. Vanderbilt.
- Once again, profits were donated to the American Red Cross. While the war was over, Westminster offered special "Service Classes" for those who were serving or had served in the Armed Forces.
- No Best In Show prize is awarded because of ongoing changes in American Kennel Club rules.
- In the first Westminster held under the new rules for Groups and Best In Show judging, five Group winners (Sporting, Working, Terrier, Toy and Non-Sporting) competed for the final award of Best In Show.
- Westminster becomes the first club to conduct Best In Show judging in accordance with the new rules and format installed by the AKC.
- Madison Square Garden III opens on 8th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets. Westminster moves its show there, where it will remain until the facility closes in 1968.
- Mrs. Reginald F. Mayhew of Forest Hills, NY, becomes the first woman to have a voice in deciding Best In Show, as one of a panel of five judges making the decision.
- Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge judges Best In Show, becoming the first woman to officiate as the sole judge of this award. Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge is soon legendary in the dog show world, as the force behind the Morris & Essex Kennel Club and the benefactor of St. Hubert Giralda Animal Shelter in New Jersey.
- A German Shepherd belonging to New York Yankee great, Lou Gehrig, is among this year's entries. "Afra of Cosalta" takes second in the Open Bitch class; Gehrig goes on to some success on the baseball field instead, finishing with a .340 lifetime batting average as one of the most beloved Yankees of all time.
- The Children's Handling Grand Challenge Trophy is offered for the first time at Westminster. Later to be known as Junior Handling, this competition continues to be part of Westminster every year.
- Mrs. Sherman Hoyt handles her Standard Poodle to BIS, the first such win ever for a woman handler, a feat that would not be repeated until 1956.
- 3,140 dogs are entered at Westminster.
- Best In Show Judge John G. Bates is pictured on the cover of Time Magazine before Westminster, with the caption, "His choice becomes the people's choice."
- The show is changed from three days to a two-day event.
1941 and 1942
- Proceeds from these shows are donated to the American Red Cross. In 1943 and 1944, proceeds go to the benefit of Dogs for Defense. In 1945, the National War Fund is the recipient of the proceeds.
- A tugboat strike causes New York Mayor William O'Dwyer to close the city down on the eve of the dog show. Business was allowed to resume 24 hours later, by that time forcing Westminster to make arrangements to hold its show in one day instead of two. Using 17 rings and a makeshift schedule that kept all rings in constant use, Best In Show was awarded by 12:15 a.m. that night, 15 minutes earlier than the year before.
- Television coverage of Westminster takes place for the first time.
- The Boxer, Ch. Bang Away of Sirrah Crest, becomes the first dog from West of the Mississippi to win Best In Show at Westminster.
- Anne Hone Rogers (later Mrs. James Edward Clark) becomes the first woman professional handler and the second female to handle a dog to the Best In Show award.
- Lakeland terrier Ch. Stingray of Derryabah becomes the first dog to win Best In Show at Westminster after winning the same award at Crufts, Westminster's London counterpart.
- The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the final event of any kind held at Madison Square Garden III. In 1969, the show moves to Madison Square Garden IV, its present location.
- A bitter snowstorm cripples the New York area and plays havoc with Westminster's first show at the new Garden.
- The English Springer Spaniel Ch. Chinoe's Adamant James captures his second consecutive Best In Show at Westminster, becoming the seventh dog with multiple BIS wins (six dogs with two, one dog with three). As of 2009, no dog has done it since.
- Ch. Sir Lancelot of Barvan, an Old English Sheepdog, becomes the first Canadian dog to win BIS honors since 1918.
- William W. Brainard, Jr. becomes the first person to judge Best In Show three times, a mark that is still unmatched.
- The Westminster Kennel Foundation and Judge Frank Sabella become the first to donate gifts of art to the AKC Museum of the Dog.
- Ch. Kabik's The Challenger, an Afghan Hound, becomes only the third Hound to win Best In Show and through 2009 is still the last Hound to do so.
- The Westminster Kennel Foundation establishes an annual scholarship program for veterinary students.
- A red Doberman Pinscher bitch, Ch. Royal Tudor's Wild as the Wind CD, becomes the first dog with an obedience title to capture Best In Show (and through 2009 remains as the only dog to do so).
- Westminster becomes the first Champions Only dog show held under AKC rules. Awards of Merit are added to the awards, the exact number given to be a function of the number of entries in each breed or variety.
- After capturing Best In Show the previous year, Ch. Registry's Lonesome Dove, a Wire Fox Terrier, fails in an attempt to repeat the win when it is awarded third place in the Terrier Group. This is the last time that a BIS winner has tried to repeat.
- Ch. Parsifal Di Casa Netzer, a Standard Schnauzer, becomes the first Italian bred dog to win Best In Show.
- "Kirby", a spunky Papillon officially known as Ch. Loteki Supernatural Being, becomes the oldest dog ever to win Best In Show. He is eight years, one month and ten days old. With this win, he becomes the first dog in the world to win both the World Dog Show (he won Best In Show at Helsinki over 17,000-plus dogs in 1998).
- Ch. Torums Scarf Michael, a Kerry Blue terrier, captures Best In Show, becoming only the second dog to win both Westminster and Crufts.
- For the first time, breed judging is broadcast to the general public via streaming video on the Westminster web site (www.westminsterkennelclub.org). Over 1.4 million streaming videos are requested online, from 140 countries, along with 15 million page views.
- For the first time, Madison Square Garden is completely sold out for both days of the dog shows.
- Once again, the Garden is completely sold out for both days of the show, in spite of The Blizzard of 2006, which dropped a record- breaking 27 inches of snow on Manhattan on the Saturday and Sunday before the show.
- Streaming video of the breed judging highlights increases threefold in its second year, producing a staggering 23.7 terabytes (a terabyte is 1,024 gigabytes). This total compares with 6.5 terabytes in 2005. Visitors logged 2.13 million visits (up 33% over the previous year).
- The enthusiastic Garden crowd and national television audience join in saluting individuals and organizations in the dog world that joined with Westminster in being active in the rescue and recovery effort after the devastating Gulf Coast hurricanes of the previous Fall.
- Chet Collier, longtime member and past show chair and president, is the first recipient of the club's Sensation Award. Named for the club's symbolic Pointer, the award is given in recognition of a member's contribution to the club, to purebred dogs, and the sport of showing dogs. Collier died later that year.
- Ch. K-Run's Park Me in First becomes the first Beagle ever and the first Hound in 25 years to win Best in Show at Westminster. His victory sets off a year-long celebration dubbed "Beaglemania" by the media.
"Uno" becomes the first Westminster winner to be invited to the White House, visiting President and Mrs. Bush in May, and later visits Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the capital in Austin.
He rings the bell to open the NASDAQ market, throws out the first pitch at major league baseball games in Milwaukee and St. Louis, is a celebrity headliner at various events, and visits children, soldiers, and other patients in hospitals and health care facilities around the country. In November, he rides on the Peanuts/United Media float in the world-famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Senior citizens around the world join in the celebration as a Sussex Spaniel named "Stump" becomes the oldest dog ever to capture Best In Show at Westminster. The 10-year-old golden liver dog (registered name Ch. Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee) is more than two years older than the previous record holder, winning in front of another sellout crowd at the Garden. Stump is later featured on the cover of AARP Magazine.
- The New York Post calls her the "Hottie Scottie," and the Scottish Terrier named Sadie (Ch. Roundtown Maryscot of Mercedes) struts her stuff to Best In Show and a post-show media tour that includes a visit to the Empire State Building, a visit with Donald Trump, and a trip to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the bell to open the market. It is the eighth time that a Scottish Terrier has captured the top award at Westminster, a total second only to Wire Fox Terriers (13).

Lake County Council take steps for funding jail improvements
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent December 11, 2012 5:16PM
Updated: January 13, 2013 11:08AM
CROWN POINT— Officials took the final steps to authorize the $20 million Lake County will borrow in 2013 for mandated jail improvements and to shore up the general fund, then took the first steps to establish the borrowing committee that will keep watch on how those dollars are spent.
The Lake County Council on Tuesday approved in 4-1 votes amendments to ordinances appropriating the $5 million that will be used to replenish the operating fund and the $10 million for expected capital expenses so that any request for the money must be approved by the County Council before the auditor may cut a check. Similar wording already was included in the $5 million bond ordinance for the jail improvements.
Councilman Daniel Dernulc, R-Highland, voted against the measure. Council President Jerome Prince was absent. Councilman-elect Eldon Strong, R-Crown Point, has not yet been sworn to the seat vacated by newly elected State Rep. Rick Niemeyer.
Ray Szarmach, council attorney, said officials looking to use money from the funds created to disburse the revenues will have to go to a new borrowing committee to plead their cases.
Money will be divided into four funds created Tuesday: Lake County Jail Construction Fund, Operating Fund, Reimbursement Fund and Construction Fund. A specific set of criteria must be met for the request to be considered before the committee, whose members will then make a recommendation to the council on whether to grant the request.
"Every request has to come here. Every request has to be voted on by the common council," Szarmach said.
As part of their actions council members approved the first reading of the draft ordinance creating the borrowing committee. The ordinance establishes the criteria for borrowing.
For consideration there must be a need for the project or operating costs. There must be adequate funding in place at time of the request, which must contain a sustainable plan to cover the cost of the request in 2014.
Requests from the Jail Construction Fund, eimbursement Fund and Construction Fund must be capital improvements.
Szarmach said after officials review the document they may make amendments prior to the second reading.

Below is the message posted on the Maryott's website.
I have never ordered from them, but I know they are everybody's favorite. Please ignore if you are not interested.
Follow-Up Postings:
You should order from them. They are very generous and you get tons of freebies. They usually change their specials every week so you can wait for one you really want too. They're plants are huge and healthy too. I don't know what they put in their soil but it's really impressive. |
- Posted by najoba 8b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 10:12
I love Maryott's - one of the best daylily vendors...but now is not the time to be planting daylilies here in Texas, unfortunately. It is way too hot. I'll have to wait until fall to add more cultivars. Things grow very well in CA - I think it's the soil plus climate. I've gotten really big, healthy fans from Gold Coast Daylilies in CA, and others, too. Nancy |
I saw it on their website but am trying to ignore it. Temptation is hard LOL. I have one round bed with plants I got last year from Maryott's. Some are Bill's intro and some are from other hybridizers that he was growing. So far they've all come back, all are scaping so should see something by mid July if not sooner. Julia |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 10:54
He sprinkles them with fairy dust, because they usually bloom the year I get them! Wonderful place to buy daylilies! kay |
oh yes, forgot about that. They DO bloom the year you get them - unbelievable! |
Maryott's is great! I am watching to see if he offers a lower price for bonus (ie $50) cause I'm trying to behave and not spend a lot more this year! I've put alot of money into framing and dirt for raised beds in the front of the house. |
- Posted by dementieva Zone 9 - Houston (My Page) on Wed, Jun 22, 11 at 19:11
Not to be an enabler or anything...but remember, you can always put in your order now and ask for fall delivery if you do like a certain special. Nate |

FYI - Maryott's just reduced prices on almost half of their plants. Nate |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 20, 11 at 22:35
I have been enabled! Yet again. A lot of it is Floota's fault. All of those gorgeous pictures from the tour, especially Blue Grass Memories. And Bill had Blue Grass Memories for a reasonable price. What could I do but order? And I have always loved Wens Song and it was dirt cheap. What could I do but order. So now I have to find a place for a few more. And I won one of Floota's on the auction. I'm sure I will find a place...in fact, I know where it will probably be. kay |

OHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH! I'm a terrible person. Or maybe whoever posted the new sale is just trying to get me in trouble, AGAIN!!! I had already placed an order at Maryotts so I could get Nancy's Quilt free a few weeks ago and now I just placed another one. I started to order Winner's Trophy when it was $65 but decided that I just couldn't afford it. I just could not resist getting it for $30 and of course I just had to have Vienna Waltz, Best in Class, Santa's Little Helper, Spc Dream Catcher and Written on the Wind to keep it company on it's long trip from California to Mississippi. I've been very good all year. I'd only bought 5 or so on the Auction and now this. Oh well, at least I did get some of the ones that I've been wanting and didn't just buy. If I can come up another $100 before their sale ends, I'll be getting some more. I sure do hope that I can find a way, they have got some of the best prices. SOOOO, all you addicts, have fun. I'm sure you all have a little more room. Blessing to all and may your dreams of beautiful blooms come true, Mona |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 21, 11 at 9:39
You are not bad, Mona. You just have this little addiction. I have it too. So do a few other folks on the forum. I just got four, but they were ones I had been looking at for a while except the Bluegrass Memories. kay |

Well I put in my Maryott birthday order today. My birthday is not for another month, but I ordered to have them delivered at the end of September. MALAYSIAN MARKETPLACE (a forum favorite) Nate |

I caved in...and got Bluegrass Memories...and a few more :) Ben |

Yep....good ole' Maryott is tempting us again. I already knew from LAST year that Bill puts on a big sale when I placed 2 orders in rapid succession...so I saved up money I was gifted for my birthday this year and waited it out. I had so many on my list but I didn't get THAT much money so I had to scratch quite a few off. I'm trying to finalize my choices and get my order in. I've already ordered from him this year as well, but how can I resist those great price reductions? I love, love, love Maryott's! Celeste |

I GREW UP ON THE EDGE OF THE EVERGLADES AND HAVE spent much of my career writing about them. I've been lucky to touch a Florida panther, examine crocodile nests, swim with manatees, and canoe past alligators.
A half-century ago, my dad and I liked to drive into the Everglades in his faded blue Nash, park in the weeds, and fish for largemouth black bass, catfish, and bluegills. True, we kept our eyes open for water moccasins and gators, but at least they belonged here.
When Leo Nico invites me on an eel hunt, I have mixed feelings that include both curiosity and revulsion. To my dismay, his hunting grounds turn out to be Snake Creek, a canal where my brother and I used to fish as teenagers. The waterway is within cheering distance of Pro Player Stadium, where the Florida Marlins and the Miami Dolphins play.
I watch Nico and a dozen researchers climb into a boat outfitted with an electroshock fishing unit. They use electrodes, hanging from poles like strands in a mop, to zap the water with 800 volts of electricity. When the dazed fish surface at the bow of the boat, twirling in unison, Nico scoops them up with a net.
On the bank, he dumps his catch into a variety of containers. He has stunned a handful of native largemouth black bass and bluegills, which he returns to the water alive. But much of his catch, creatures now reproducing in south Florida, originated in foreign lands.
Assistants scour the containers for eels. They don't have to look long. Round and muscular, the wriggling creatures are almost impossible to hold. They don't bite; they simply slither and squirm in their efforts to escape. "I just got slimed," cries a helper, hands dripping with the mucus that the eels excrete. "Don't drop the eels into the grass!" Nico shouts. "They'll slip right back into the canal."
A mustachioed lab technician dressed in a butcher's smock clips a small portion of each eel's tail and hands it to Tim Collins, a geneticist from Florida International University. Collins, who studies eel DNA, recently discovered that the Snake Creek eels originated from Chinese stock.
Warming to the task, the technician—after anesthetizing the eels—commences lopping off their heads and tossing them into a black plastic bag. Back in his Gainesville laboratory, he'll remove ear bones; rings in the bones can indicate an eel's age. The bodies are put in separate bags so the stomach contents can be studied to determine what the animals have eaten.
During the course of the day, the boat goes out once more and returns; fish are counted and identified. Somebody reaches into a bucket and withdraws—gasp, a human infant! No, just a discarded doll. "That's what's cool about south Florida," one scientist quips. "You never know what you'll come up with."
The dominant fish among all nonindigenous creatures in this catch is the Asian swamp eel. In one small section of canal—one canal among hundreds in south Florida—Nico's squad harvests 50 eels.
"We see the Everglades as a house of cards," says Bill Loftus, a USGS ecologist who has worked in the national park for two decades. "The house of cards might look stable, but we don't know what it'll take to make it fall apart. The eel could be it."
In their native lands, swamp eels don't overwhelm their environment. Everything is in balance; a variety of birds, animals, and reptiles are their predators. Natural parasites weaken them; diseases commonly kill them. But here in south Florida, apart from the occasional alligator, large fish or great blue heron, the eels have no enemies—at least none that scientists know about.
In a few months, Nico will bring his Gainesville team back to south Florida. They'll try to kill as many eels as possible in the canal nearest the park. Electrocution will be their weapon of choice, but the scientists are pessimistic that slaying even hundreds of eels a week will do much good. "Still, we've got to try," Nico says.
TOWARD DAY'S END, SOMEONE PULLS A YARD-LONG EEL from a bucket and asks if I'd like to get better acquainted.
I'm not squeamish. I've baited hooks, gutted fish, waded in thigh-deep mud, and plucked ticks from my own flesh. A swamp eel, after all, is like any living creature, just trying to survive.
But why here?
I stare at its slimy, dripping body, gaze into those beady, soulless eyes, and shake my head no.

Phoenix-Goldwater Institute constitutional studies director Mark Brnovich expressed support for an Institute for Justice lawsuit filed today in federal court, challenging what Brnovich called "Arizona's wine cartel. We've got a clear case of restraint-of-trade here," Brnovich said. "Arizona's wine regulations are a roadblock to interstate commerce, and the courts have a duty to strike them down." More information about the case, Parker v. Morrison, is available at http://www.ij.org/media/economic_liberty/az_wine/
Before out-of-state wines can reach Arizona consumers, Brnovich explains, they must pass through an antiquated three-tiered distribution system that results in higher prices and fewer choices. By forbidding out-of-state producers from shipping wine directly to consumers, Arizona law also violates the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. Brnovich is the author of a forthcoming report examining Arizona's wine-market regulations in the light of Supreme Court jurisprudence related to the Commerce Clause and the Twenty-First Amendment. The report is scheduled for release the week of November 17.
Last year, Sen. Barbara Leff (R-Paradise Valley) introduced Senate Bill 1316, which would have adjusted Arizona law to allow for direct shipments of out-of-state wine. Unfortunately, the legislature amended the bill and the final version left the three-tiered system largely intact. "The new legislation authorizes the shipment of up to two cases of wine per person per year," Brnovich said, "but the change does nothing to facilitate the direct shipment of wine from out-of-state producers."
The Goldwater Institute has scheduled a forum, "Wine, Cheese and Freedom of Commerce," for mid-November, in which Brnovich will present the findings of his report. Forum speakers will include Clint Bolick, vice president of the Institute for Justice.
Press inquiries about Arizona's wine regulations should be directed to Mark Brnovich at (602) 462-5000 x 232. Other press inquiries should be directed to Tom Jenney, director of communications, at (602) 712-1257.

Mutual funds managers don't hold a candle to the hedge fund managers. They make TONS of money and its almost impossible to replicate.
Forget this whole ETF thing baby, greed is good, passive investing is for wussies, and real men pick stocks! As long as you believe that 3 months is an accurate frame of reference, then I am a genius baby!
Two of the biggest arguments against mutual funds are high costs and poor performance. When your mutual fund starts under performing and increasing costs, instead of finding another mutual fund money sink, build your own.
When I started in the financial business some sixteen years ago, there were over 400 different mutual funds. Now there are over 5000 in Canada alone. But this is not another mutual fund, exactly.
Here's a few tips to help you know how to pick a mutual fund. How do you pick the right funds? Should you go with index funds? What's your risk tolerance?
TD e-Series Funds may be the simplest way for Canadians to invest in a diversified portfolio with low Management Expense Ratios.
Index funds based on these indexes are a great way to invest in the stock market without buying individual stocks or actively managed mutual funds.

Cyril Fletcher - comedian.
Location of events unknown.
L/S of the Fletchers' cottage. The Pathe reporter comes to the door and is greeted by Cyril's wife Betty Astell. She takes him to Cyril who is pushing a wheelbarrow. They chat and he says he is doing a bit of farming to help Britain's food supply but he is not a proper farmer. M/S of sheep in a field. He strokes a rabbit saying it is next Sunday's dinner. Betty feeds the chickens and Cyril shows us the potato patch. He pays tribute to the real farmers in Britain and we see a montage of hay, cows, wheat etc. on a working farm. Cyril then impersonates a comic yokel character called George Wurzel, Betty asks him his views on farming but he would rather talk about his fat girlfriend.

If you find yourself unsatisfied amidst a rigid ceiling and four flat walls, the Hill Sofa by Esteban can promise to perk up the interior aesthetic of your surroundings. Despite the way that it reduces the concept of a couch down to a single uniform surface, this compelling piece of furniture does in fact challenge the space that it occupies.
The Furniture Design Market of Norway manufactures this undulating day bed as modular square pads measuring 1 meter in length by 1 meter in width. The thickness of each cushion is roughly 20 centimeters, but unexpected formal elements greatly alter the otherwise rigidly geometric objects.
A single swelling bump in every section affords a lighthearted form unique to the Hill Sofa by Esteban. Improving the piece's practicality, such soft bulges actually make ideal pillows or protuberance that support reclining postures.

I have a 1920's cottage I am Sloooooowly rehabbing. A labour of love, for sure! The woodwork (Gumwood) is all intact, and not painted, thank God ;) However, the old finish is in rough shape - dented, dinged, paint splashed on in places.....to try out methods, I removed an interior closet door and went to work.
I used a scraper and paint removed to get some of the splashed paint off the spine, and the rest of the finish came off nicely with Methyl Hydrate (did this outside). Then I used good old fashioned shellac. I assumed this was what was on it originally, as the Methyl Hydrated took off the original finish? However, the first coat of shellac looked uneven, so I put another on. I ended up with three coats. The good news? It's nice and even. The bad news? It's super glossy, not the flat, satin finish the original one was :( While I don't mind the gloss, husband doesn't think it shows off the beautiful woodgrain as well as the satin did. Any ideas? I'd like to stick with whats traditional, and the door does look nice, just...shiny ;) MANY thanks for any tips!!! |

Hi, Get some paste wax, and some ultra-fine steel wool. Rub the finish out with them together, then buff, apply one more coat of wax with a cloth, buff with a woolen, then polish with cotton. It will be better. If you want it even more satin (less shiny), rub with dry steel wool in one direction only, then wax. For this type of finish use one 00 steel wool, not the 0000. This removes finish, so perhaps add another coat or 2 before attempting, as it wouldn't do to rub through the finish to bare wood. Casey |

Thinking about Nuclear Power in Post-Saddam Iraq

Brief Synopsis
Iraqis are debating the desirability of atomic power for their country. One can expect increasing Iraqi calls for a revival of the country's nuclear capability, at least in the civilian sector, which reflects a general consensus within key sectors of Iraqi public opinion as well as a growing regional trend. The Iraqi government will continue to reestablish its legitimacy by its support of a nuclear program as a litmus test for modernity and success, and has asked France to rebuild its former reactor, although significant practical obstacles will hamper rapid development in the nuclear field. Despite a continuing widespread perception of the utility of nuclear weapons, at least in some sectors of Iraqi opinion, a near-term resumption of a military nuclear program is not likely, although volatile conditions in the region and within Iraq itself could change that option at some time in the future. U.S. and international policymakers will have to consider Iraqi views as they shape policy to manage the process of an orderly, safe, and peaceful nuclear reintegration of Iraq in the civilian sector while guaranteeing safeguards against both accidents and any future diversion of a nuclear program for military purposes or terrorist exploitation.

Richland Jack-Sons to remodel while serving liquor license suspension
KEPR learned Jack-Sons along George Washington Way in Richland had its liquor license suspended temporarily. The Liquor Control Board says the restaurant over-served a customer.
It's not yet clear if the bar has been cited before. The suspension lasts through the weekend, which includes NCAA Final Four games, NASCAR and baseball.
The bar's Facebook page says they're using this time to remodel, clean and roll out a new menu.
This only affects the Richland Jack-Sons.
A Richland police captain said he's only seen a handful of liquor license suspensions in the last 30 years.

#1 – Landry Fields: Clutch performance by Landry on the upcoming ABC series Sing Your Face Off. After you come to grips with the fact that this is actually happening, you'll notice that Fields kills it with his performance of Lionel Richie's classic "Dancing On The Ceiling". It's impressive to go from one huge stage to another singing and dancing like this, but take into account the heavy makeup, wig, mustache and shoulder pads that would be Crockett and Tubbs approved. We may possibly be looking at the new undisputed all-time Raptors off-court video champion.
To reiterate, this is only the series premiere of Sing Your Face Off (scheduled for May 31st at 9 PM ET). This thing ain't over.
#2 – Patrick Patterson: The Patman would have had this one in the bag with his Michael Jackson "Smooth Criminal" tribute, but he'll have to settle for the silver. Points for the DIY aesthetic and a little intrigue as it looks like he's driving on the right side of his car (it's the camera phone's doing). Deduction for not actually signing.
#3 – Greivis Vasquez: Sorry Greivis, I respect the passion (I think that's passion), but the competition has been some kind of fierce this week.

Dear Mexican: Why do white Americans buy into this Reconquista bullshit? I believe that these babosos talk about it more than Mexicans do. I have yet to meet a Mexican who is part of this "movement." Every Mexican that I know has come to America to work, seek a better life, and buy a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban — that's it. I guarantee you that if any white American actually spoke to a Mexican and asked him about the Reconquista, the Mexican would respond, "¿Que qué?" I was born and raised in San Antonio, served my lovely country in the U.S. Army (2003-2008), and now live as a disabled vet in Denver. My parents were from Zacatecas and Jalisco. I asked them about the Reconquista and got the same response from both of them: "Déjate de pendejadas."
So, gabachos, when you come to Ask a Mexican! to ask stupid questions, consider this: Most immigrants go through shit and high water to come to America. Why would they even want to reclaim the Southwest for Mexico? You think they would want to travel an additional 800 miles to come to America? As a child, I went to Mexico on family trips, and let me tell you: I would not want to live there. My parents sure didn't. We Mexicans grow attached to the American way really quick. But back to my original question: Why do gabachos buy into this anti-Mexican bullshit when they have way bigger things to worry about? We are not the American-way-hating race.
El Sargento
Dear Sergeant: Primeramente, gracias for your service. Second, to our Know Nothing audience: Cut out this letter, staple it to your foreheads without anesthesia, and get it through your thick heads that this is the reality of the Reconquista — especially the Suburban part. Finally: Why do they believe this, Sargento? Por pendejos.
Dear Mexican: I have read your book and religiously followed your stuff. But I still am not informed enough about the sex lives of Mexican men. I fell in love with a man in Mexico, and I'm trying to find him again, but I have a few questions. First of all, what is the average penis size of a Mexican man? I know that women are supposed to remain virgins until marriage — is this the same with men? Do they sleep around a lot if they don't have to be virgins? Also, are Mexican men good in bed?
The Suzanne That Fell Hard for Reno
Dear Gabacha: Penis-size surveys are like Guatemalans — there are a bunch of them, but few are reputable. Using my own wang and life as an example, I'll say that the average Mexican man packs John Holmes in his pants, has no expectations of virginity before marriage but expects his conquests to have only seen a penis in a World Book Encyclopedia entry, beds ten mujeres a night, and is such an extraordinary lover that he could make a chick orgasm by uncapping his bottle of Tapatío.
Dear Mexican: In Canada, most of our Mexican knowledge comes to us secondhand through the U.S. media. What we always hear about are the jobs that are refused by Americans yet sought (or endured) by Mexicans. But are there any jobs Mexicans won't touch, whether for cultural reasons or others? What jobs do Mexicans take that other Mexicans look down on them for?
Canuck Needs News
Dear CNN: Newspaper columnist.
Dear Mexican: I live in a little village in England in a house that's 200 years old, just down the hill from a tiny church that's so old it was actually built before God said "Let there be light," thus proving that Stephen Hawking is a blowhard. The only industry here, apart from digging potatoes and interfering with cows, is the cement factory, and that's been taken over by Mexicans. It used to be Rugby Cement, and now it's CEMEX. Not much changes around here, and people don't much like change, but there was an expectation that the new management of the cement works might liven up the neighborhood: that mariachis would stroll the streets; that burros would appear, ridden by sleeping guys in sombreros: that the night's quiet would be split by the thrumming of guitars, shouts of "Andalay! Andalay! Arriva! Arriva!" and the crackle of brisk exchanges of gunfire as executives settled their budgets for the new financial year.
None of this has come to pass. In fact, no Mexicans have been seen in the village at all, despite the village pub's having legendary chili nights. Is CEMEX an illusion? A mere corporate fiction that is actually run from Lichtenstein with Arab oil money? Or are the Mexican managers all brujos who can make themselves invisible by drinking concoctions of jalapeños, tequila and dried armadillo brains from scooped-out human skulls? We need to know the answers to these questions, lest the peace at the heart of England be disturbed and the beat of Drake's drum be heard faintly on the breeze, calling, calling. Toodle-pip, old chap!

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said , My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously ; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously . | 16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One." But I said, "I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!" |
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. | 17 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of the earth. |
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open , and the foundations of the earth do shake . | 18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake. |
19 The earth is utterly broken down , the earth is clean dissolved , the earth is moved exceedingly . | 19 The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken. |
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall , and not rise again . | 20 The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls--never to rise again. |
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. | 21 In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. |
22 And they shall be gathered together , as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited . | 22 They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days. |
23 Then the moon shall be confounded , and the sun ashamed , when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. | 23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously. |

I think I will try the vegetarian version sometime, just omit the bacon and use veggie broth. Also you could use fat-free evaporated milk. """

December 13, 2013: As school districts begin to hold community meetings to bring parents and the community into the (required) loop of engagement, one trend is clear: business as usual, i.e., announcing mid-week evening meeting, one that requires physical attendance of working families is probably not going to be a barn-burner.
At left, Dr. Cathy Nichols-Washer, superintendent of the Lodi Unified School District.
From Wes Bowers in the Lodi Sentinel yesterday (Lodi Unified held two meetings on the Local Control Funding Formula this week) [emphases ours]:
...District officials asked those in attendance Thursday night, just eight parents and community members, to suggest what skills or abilities they'd like Lodi Unified students to have by the time they graduate.In addition, guests were asked to propose what programs or services may help students and the district achieve those goals. Those in attendance said they'd like to see more language immersion classes, or a focus on technological, communication and organizational skills. Programs and services suggested to help students with those skills included Regional Occupational Programs, summer school, personal finance programs, and more informational technology courses. In addition, many said students' curriculum should be more fun, as that would help them learn and absorb more information...
The descriptive choice of the attendees -- guests -- may have been the reporter's. School officials need to keep in mind that taxpayers are not guests. They might even be considered hosts. In approaching issues of parental and civic engagement, semantics is not irrelevant.
December 6, 2013: Most parents of students in California's public schools have heard "nothing at all" about the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) adopted by the state to give local school boards more flexibility in spending allotted monies -- but, says a new survey from EdSource, "they are eager to get involved in school district spending decisions."
At left, district superintendent of the Fresno Unified School District, Michael Hanson, explains the LCFF to a parent group at a meeting in November.
...The survey of 1,003 parents across California is the first to look at how connected and involved parents are with their children's schools. It found that the majority of parents had heard "nothing at all" about the state's new finance system, which requires districts to involve parents in spending decisions. Altogether, 57 percent said they had not heard of the formula, compared with 9 percent who said they knew a great deal about it.
But when they were given a short explanation of the [LCFF], three-quarters of parents said they supported the idea and close to three-quarters were willing to commit from an hour to 10 hours per week helping guide school spending decisions. Only one in 10 opposed the reforms...
The survey also reveals distinct differences among high-income and low-income parents:
- Nearly four in 10 parents (39%) who report incomes of $100,000 or more describe themselves as "very involved" in their child's school, compared to only 24 percent of those reporting incomes of $30,000 or less.
- 43% of parents with incomes higher than $100,000 give their child's school an A, compared to only 25% with incomes of under $30,000.
- 39% of low-income parents feel that only a small group of parents have the opportunity to engage in decision-making at their child's school, compared to only 19% of high-income parents who feel that way.
These differences suggest schools will have to work harder to engage low-income families, whose children are targeted for extra funds under the new finance system....
The EdSource survey was funded by the California Endowment (one of the funders of EdSource, but which "has no say in its editorial decisions); the California Endowment is also funding parent education programs in selected districts in the state. One such forum was held at Edison High School in Fresno in early November; at that time, "more than 100" parents and school officials gathered to discuss the LCFF and the extra $15 million Fresno USD will be getting as a result of the recalculations of allotments for low-performing schools and schools with high percentages of at-risk students. The small group at Fresno signalled some of the conflicts that will arise in local districts among differing interests: longer school days, increased teacher pay, more early education aides, lowering class sizes, more career tech ed classes...and the groups that represent these interests: school boards, school administration, unions ...and parents.
The California Endowment is a 17-year-old foundatioin created by WellPoint Health Networks, the for-profit subsidiary of Blue Cross of California. The foundation reports that over the years, it has "invested in health broadly, from strengthening the safety net for families struggling with poverty to diversifying the health care workforce."

Giambattista Valli Spring 2013
A distinctly minimalist bend gave Giambattista Valli's Spring 2013 collection a cleaner, more refined edge than clothing he's shown in past seasons — but his signature flair for decoration was still very present. Take, for example, the simple sheer white shift dress decorated with beaded vines and rectangular white flower petals, or the lace applied to a red cocktail dress. None of these embellishments looked heavy. In fact, they appeared light as air, and so did Valli's sharply tailored suiting and a variety of garments in a tweed-like gold fabric dotted with round rhinestones. This collection was pretty, and also pretty cleaned up.

Edinboro University professor Jim Roberts to appear on Travel Channel series 'The Dead Files'
06/25/2013Edinboro University's Dr. Jim Roberts, chairperson of the Department of Health and Physical Education, will be featured on the Friday, June 28, episode of the Travel Channel series "The Dead Files." The episode airs at 10 p.m.
On "The Dead Files," Steve DiSchiavi, a former homicide detective, and Amy Allan, a physical medium, investigate unexplained paranormal phenomena from their two often-conflicting perspectives.
The episode, titled "Lethal Waters," concerns a case of paranormal activity at the Riverside Inn, the historic hotel and dinner theater in Cambridge Springs, Pa. Enter Dr. Roberts, who helps DiSchiavi get to the bottom of the potential dangers of the mineral spring water for which Cambridge Springs was once famous.
"The show itself has two main characters, one is a psychic or medium, and the other one is a retired police detective," Dr. Roberts said. "So I interviewed with him as a health expert regarding whether some of their theories could be true or not, based on the water they were drinking. These people would go there for a fountain of youth or for a cure-all from this mineralized water, and the question was raised, was this helpful or possibly harmful?"
Presumably, the area's mineral springs, which were visited by thousands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries hoping to take advantage of their alleged health benefits, factor heavily into the "deadly secret" uncovered by DiSchiavi and the "spirit of a woman who can control the living" discovered by Allan, two tidbits from the episode that are teased on the Travel Channel's website.
Dr. Roberts, however, isn't saying much more than that, hoping to maintain the sense of mystery that makes each episode entertaining.
While Dr. Roberts has participated in some local cable access television, he has never been involved in a production of this magnitude. "It's very exciting. Nothing like this has ever happened before," he said of his experience on "The Dead Files." "So it's fun to be a part of something like this, to experience it and see what it's like."

I have two Karp's sweet quince trees which I purchased from Raintree Nursery and planted about a year ago. They're supposed to grow in this zone . I know very little about quinces and what to expect from them. These never completely lost their leaves over the winter. But they are starting to put out new growth. We've had about 300 chill hours this winter and will likely still have some nights in the 40's before the season is over. Does anyone have quinces, especially Karp's? What should I expect from them this spring as far as flowering, growing, and fruiting? Do they flower before leaves come out? When does this happen? (There were no flowers or fruit last year but I didn't expect any since they had just been transplanted.) Any special tips on care? Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
They leaf out before flowering. Before the leaves open they look almost like green flowers. I'm assuming it is humid in the summer there. Quince may not like that. I have some quince trees but they are very young, so I can't tell you much from experience, and I live near Portland, OR so the climate is probably very different here anyway. If Karp's sweet is the same as Majes Valley, then I have it just grafted last spring. |

I have this variety planted last year. Might get fruit this year... Remember it may be a tip bearer so don't prune those tips maybe: http://www.cloudforest.com/cafe/apples/edgar-quince-david-carp-quince-scab-magnet-t1213.html |

Ann, quince are magnets for fireblight and quince rust in the south. I mostly gave up on them. Karp's gave me one year of fruit which all rusted. I rewarded the tree by turning it into a rootstock for a pear. I had edible fruit on my quince for 3-4 years, but they got progressively more diseased every year. Scott |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 22:51
Also in Portland, I can tell you that ripening quince fruit does not like moisture or humidity, brown rot / splits are the result. Your over-wintered leaves could be normal for Florida, especially if they are near the ends of new branchlets. The tree starts to flower when the leaves are newish and about 1 or 2 inches long. Pinkish buds will be the hint. Bloom here is in early April. Florida could be a month earlier for all phases. |
Yes the summers are humid here. Glad to hear that the leaves come out before the blossoms-- that means they might still blossom. But I didn't know they were so susceptible to disease. Thank you |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 14:58
Ann, fireblight is pretty hard to control on quince even with sprays (I tried and failed). If you don't have a lot of apples or pears nearby you may do OK. Quince rust is eminently controllable with a spray or two of myclobutanil during the infection period. I don't recall the timing of quince rust but am sure there is a webpage mentioning it somewhere. If the timing is not right there is no reason to spray at all, it won't do anything if you are off by more than a week or two. I am a minimal spray guy and for me its too much work, and also I have many apples and pears and firebilght is a really big problem for me. I still do have a few quince, they are some supposedly fireblight resistant varieties. I'm not super optimistic but am giving them a go. Scott |
Scott, There are no apples or pears nearby that I know of. My quinces are in my backyard in an urban residential area. So hopefully the fireblight is not a big risk. I will look into how to prevent rust. Related to that-- I've been using a sprinkler to water the area where one of the quinces is. Obviously this means the whole tree gets wet every time. Is this a bad idea, seeing as how fungus likes wet conditions? |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 22:18
Fireblight is a big risk everywhere in the south. Ornamental apples and pears are everywhere. I used to think there were none by my house but then I started looking and I now know there are many. Hitting a tree with a sprinkler is like a rain event, the diseases throw a party for either. If its a short sprinkling and its sunny out and will dry off soon it won't have a lot of impact. Scott |
- Posted by john_in_sc z7, upstate SC (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 10:06
You would be amazed.... All you need is an ornamental pear somewhere around..... We don't have any ornamental pears in the neighborhood - but they are very common in the region.... and I completely lost 1 apple tree this past year to fireblight.... So... I would second Scott's recommendation that if you want a Quince - try hard to get a Fireblight resistant cultivar... Thanks |
Sounds discouraging (sigh)-- but I will try to stay optimistic anyway. The Karp's quinces have already been in the ground for a year so I think I'll see how they go. I'll stop sprinkling the area and watch them closely for disease and give a try at treating them if anything happens. Maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the advice because now I know what to beware of. |
Followup: The quinces bloomed last month and they still look healthy- I'm keeping my fingers crossed. |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 12:34
Fireblight is quite random. Often it takes a few years to find your trees. My quince were fine for 3-4 years. Once it latches on its hard to get rid of. Over the winter I removed my last European cider apples which are highly FB prone, and I have thus far had no fireblight this year. My quince and Euro cider apples were causing huge problems for my apples. Scott |
My mother grew a quince tree near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She had springs on her land and the quince was planted near, but not too near, to one. The soil was neutral to alkaline. It bore generously. There are also some growing in the Cloisters, in NYC. I think they do fine. It must be cooler up here than in the South. They are beautiful small trees, in my opinion. |
Karp's sweet quince is hard to grow here. It gets lots of diseases. Many just gave up. My quinces get rust. I spray them with fungal compost tea and it takes care of it. I am organically oriented. They will get rust bad every year here. You will need to have some solution. I would think that Florida would be the same or worse, because we have dry long summers. |

I'm in WI, but I have a friend in Lexington, VA (inland, up in the mountains). It rained nearly every day there this summer, and there are quince trees at a nearby public garden that bore well and weren't touched by disease. They've been there a long time, too. All their plants are well-labelled, so she is going swing by and tell me what variety it is. I'll let you all know. |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 23:31
John, what is the nature of your quince rust? My tree in Portland never gets it. |
Larry, I got a little bit of rust on from your quince variety one season. It seemed to self recover and didn't have an issue after that. |
Hi larry gene, I have Crimea, Kaunching, and Kuganskaya. I get rust bad every rainy spring, which is every spring. Most people I've talked to around here also get it. It is orange. The fungal compost tea takes care of it but by late June much damage has already been done. It also gets my service berries and shipova badly. Next spring I'm going to spray fungal compost tea twice in the spring ( April at leaf out and in June) and once in September to see if that improves it. I also realized how aggressivelly I need to prune. It's from a dry area. We're not so dry here in spring. What variety do you grow? I prefer the fresh eating varieties, and I'm organic, so it can be a bit more challenging, but it's definitely worth it for me. These quinces are some of my favorite fruits. What variety do you grow murky? Thanks John S PDX OR |
John, In the house in Vancouver I have the first tree that I grafted. At the time the Home Orchard Society taught grafting class at Clackamas Community College offered quince as a dwarfing rootstock for pear to use to make a tree at the class. Instead of grafting an apple or pear tree at the event, I took the quince rootstock home with me and used it with scion wood collected from Larry's quince tree. So I literally have the same variety as he does which I recall him calling Pineapple. Quince from his tree were the first I had tasted. He has been very generous to me with fruit and knowledge when I was just getting started. From him I also got my first samples of feijoa, calamondin and perhaps seaberry. |

Brown's Creamy Concealer is truly creamy with a thick texture and moist finish. Even when set with powder (which this absolutely needs) it can settle into lines around the eye and also magnifies large pores. It doesn't help that the shade range is hit or miss, with some neutral shades nestled alongside strong peach, pink, or gold tones.
This concealer's only ace is the great coverage it provides. Please see our Best Concealers list for superior options, including several that cost less.
It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
The popularity of the line, particularly the makeup, did not go unnoticed by Estee Lauder, who acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. Since Lauder has been at the helm the line has expanded well beyond what Brown likely envisioned back in the early 1990s, and it now includes fragrance and body-care products, among others. Yet it is Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations (though the ones without sufficient UVA protection disappoint), true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to a woman's classic makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many women, it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skin-care collection, there isn't a great deal to say or extol. The prices are rather steep, especially when you consider how many well-intentioned products use jar packaging, and fragrant irritants are a common thread, including in most of the sunscreens, which is a shame. Color is Bobbi Brown's strong point, but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of mostly inadequate or problematic skin-care products.
For more information about Bobbi Brown, owned by Estee Lauder, call (877) 310-9222 or visit www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
Bobbi Brown Makeup
We admire Brown's latest philosophy on beauty. She says, "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are." No arguments here! However, it's clear from promotional materials for this line that Brown believes being who you are should involve some amount of makeup, a concept many women may disagree with. Still, there's no question that the right makeup, applied and blended correctly, can make a world of positive difference to a woman, and in this regard Brown's counter staff is well-prepared. It was nice to overhear the makeup artists explaining step-by-step application tips to customers, rather than just pushing products. With just a few exceptions, this is a makeup collection its namesake creator should be proud of—not only for the products, but also for the level of service and education provided.
This is a truly great concealer. Especially for drier skin types that also work incredibly well for a bit older ladies with more lines. It is non irritating and stays put for a long time provided you set with a suitable powder. It is also very easy touch up which is not often the case with creamier concealers.

Podcast: Download (Duration: 36:54 — 68.7MB)
( Retreat / Delusions of Grandeur / Real Soon )
myspace | facebook |www.retreat-vinyl.de/artists/session-victim/
In January we had the pleasure of meeting Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling here in Melbourne as they shared with us their love for records, dancing, drinking and general good-time having. They are easily two of the nicest DJ's we've met and it just turns out they're two of the best as well, quite the endearing combination really! Add to that a handful of genuinely interesting and exciting records out on labels like Retreat and Delusions of Grandeur, these guys are building themselves quite the rep, and for all the right reasons. They've thrown to together a seriously groovy vinyl only mix for episode 042, no tracklist here but keep an ear out for gems from the likes of Erdbeerschnitzel, Red Rack'em and 6th Borough Project.
We also had a quick chat with the guys to see what they've been upto recently..
You guys were here in Australia over summer for the first time as Session Victim, and played a couple of amazing gigs including Mad Racket in Sydney and a some great intimate shows in Melbourne, how would you sum up your time spent down here? you sure seemed to be enjoying yourselves!
What shall we say? That we simply had the best time one can have? Definitely! Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide were all mind blowing, nothing but wonderful people and skilled DJs everywhere. Adam McConnell, Jimmi James, Sinclair, 12" Phildo, Fucking Tornado Wallace – you know that we're not exaggerating! And being scheduled between sets by Simon Caldwell and Chris Duckenfield feels unreal anyways..
How is the European summer shaping up for the two of you in terms of gigs, parties, touring etc?
Well, we're hungry to play and appreciate all the opportunities that we get. If somebody would have told us that we're playing Ibiza a year ago, we would have laughed at him. Now we're laughing about ourselves, but we can't wait to actually do it.
What projects have you been working on together in the studio recently? And what will be the focus for the latter part of the year for your releases?
We don't want to say too much right now, but we're in the lab every free minute we got. Literally. The music that comes together right now will hopefully speak for itself.
As known vinyl lovers, we know you like to make your recorded mixes and podcasts quite special, can you tell us a bit about the idea behind the mix, and how and where it was recorded?
We spent quite some time selecting the records for this mix and it turned out that there is a lot of deep and slow stuff in our bags that has not made it on a dj mix of ours before. It was like "Okay, this time we will do all the stuff, put some Madlib in there, add that sweet Fink – ballad…". Favourite records that don't necessarily need a dance floor. We recorded it at Hauke's place on 2x technics 1210.
What else is coming up for Session Victim that we should know about?
Well, we don't plan to start an orchestra next week. We will not produce the sound for the next apple – commercial nor will we feature Lil Wayne on any of our tracks. We just keep on playing our music with and for the good guys and girls. We're really happy about our collaboration with Delusions of Grandeur, these guys and their label feel like the perfect match for us. So, it'll be records for them, and of course Retreat. Watch out for Retreat!
No Tracklist Available.
