Revolutionary Road (released December 31, 1961) is author Richard Yates' debut novel. It was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1962 along with Catch-22 and The Moviegoer. When published by Atlantic-Little, Brown in 1961, it received critical acclaim, and The New York Times reviewed it as "beautifully crafted... a remarkable and deeply troubling book."[1]
In 2005, the novel was chosen by TIME as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.[2]
When DeWitt Henry and Geoffrey Clark interviewed Yates for the Winter 1972 issue of Ploughshares, Yates detailed the title's subtext:
I think I meant it more as an indictment of American life in the 1950s. Because during the Fifties there was a general lust for conformity all over this country, by no means only in the suburbs—a kind of blind, desperate clinging to safety and security at any price.[3]
Plot summary[edit]
Set in 1955, the novel focuses on the hopes and aspirations of Frank and April Wheeler, self-assured Connecticut suburbanites who see themselves as very different from their neighbors in the Revolutionary Hill Estates. In the opening scene, April stars in an embarrassingly bad amateur dramatic production of The Petrified Forest:
She was working alone, and visibly weakening with every line. Before the end of the first act the audience could tell as well as the Players that she'd lost her grip, and soon they were all embarrassed for her. She had begun to alternate between false theatrical gestures and a white-knuckled immobility; she was carrying her shoulders high and square, and despite her heavy make-up you could see the warmth of humiliation rising in her face and neck.
After the performance, Frank and April have a fight on the side of the highway, and Frank later begins an affair with his office colleague Maureen.
Seeking to break out of their suburban rut (and consequently blaming herself for all of Frank's "problems"), April convinces Frank they should move to Paris, where she will work and support him while he realizes his vague ambition to be something other than an office worker. The promise of France brings the two together in love and excitement again, and Frank seemingly ends his relationship with Maureen. While April sees the emigration as an opportunity to escape their dull environment, Frank's plans are more driven by vanity of his own intelligence, which April panders to. When the dull and prim neighbor Mrs. Givings begins bringing her "insane" son John around to the Wheelers' house for regular lunches, John's honest and erratic condemnation of his mother's suburban lifestyle strikes a chord with the Wheelers, particularly Frank.
Their plans to leave the United States begin to crumble when April conceives their third child, and Frank begins to identify with his mundane job when the prospect of a promotion arises. After arguing over the possibility of aborting the child, Frank tries to manipulate April into seeking psychiatric help for her troubled childhood. April, overwhelmed by the outcome of the situation, suffers something of an identity crisis and sleeps with her neighbor Shep Campbell, while Frank resurrects his relationship with Maureen. April attempts to self-abort her child, and in doing so is rushed to the hospital and dies from blood loss. Frank, scarred by the ordeal and feeling deep guilt over the outcome, is left a hollow shell of a man.
In the October 1999 issue of the Boston Review, Yates was quoted on his central theme: "If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy." The Wheelers' frustrations and yearnings for something better represent the tattered remnants of the American Dream.
Literary significance[edit]
Stewart O'Nan probed the neglect of Yates in "The Lost World of Richard Yates: How the Great Writer of the Age of Anxiety Disappeared from Print".[4]
William Styron, who once gave a reading of the novel's opening chapter at Boston University, called Revolutionary Road "a deft, ironic, beautiful novel that deserves to be a classic."
Kurt Vonnegut called it "The Great Gatsby of my time... one of the best books by a member of my generation."
Tennessee Williams also praised the book: "Here is more than fine writing; here is what, added to fine writing, makes a book come immediately, intensely and brilliantly alive. If more is needed to make a masterpiece in modern American fiction, I am sure I don't know what it is."
Film adaptation[edit]
Screenwriter Justin Haythe adapted the novel for filming by Evamere Entertainment (formerly HartSharp Entertainment) with BBC Films. Revolutionary Road was directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and reunites stars from Titanic (1997): the Oscar-winning Kate Winslet and the Oscar-nominated Leonardo DiCaprio, alongside Oscar winner and Titanic co-star Kathy Bates.[5] It opened December 26, 2008 to favorable reviews by David Ansen, Todd McCarthy, Mick LaSalle, Greg White, Peter Travers, Roger Ebert, and other leading film critics.

Quotes on Faith: Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please God
[Faith] is the foundation of all righteousness (Hebrews 11:6). Without faith, it is impossible to please God (1 John 3:7). Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). …Faith is the first great governing principle which has power, dominion, and authority over all things. By it they exist, by it they are upheld, by it they are changed, or by it they remain, agreeable to the will of God; and without it there is no power…(Joseph Smith, Lectures on Faith, 1). Faith is always a gift of God to man, which is obtained by obedience, as all other blessings are….An enriched faith means an enlarged power, and though man may not have in this life an occasion to exercise all the powers that come to him through the enrichment of his faith, those powers may be exercised in their fulness in eternity, if not in time (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine, 444–45). Read the rest of this entry » Read More →

JAIPUR: The Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) not replacing old sewerage pipelines has become one of the major reasons for contaminated drinking water supply in the Walled City.
Despite several complaints by the councilors and residents, the JMC is unable to replace the old sewerage lines due to financial crisis.
Ward number 56 councilor, Kailash Naveriya said, "In the past 10 days, the leakage in the sewerage line has polluted drinking water three times in my ward. Even after repairing the lines, the water is still contaminated. After many residents in the area fell sick, people have stopped drinking water supply from the pipeline." He added, "The state government and the JMC should figure out some permanent solution as it has put many lives at risk."
A senior JMC official said, "Since the project is worth over Rs 300 crore, a proposal has been sent to the state government for financial assistance. The state government has also sent it to the Centre to seek funds under the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission. But, the state has not received the funds yet. The project is pending for more than three years." He added, "We take immediate action on the complaints and wherever the water is polluted due to leakage of sewer line, we cut the supply and change the water pipeline."
Explaining the contamination process, experts said the old sewer pipelines are laid down along with water pipelines. An overflow in the sewer lines and breakage in the drinking water pipelines causes contamination.

This is The Menzinger's song 'Burn After Writing', second track from their latest structure in comparison to the technicality of the record. Verse 1: D Bm Here's to you, the same chords that I stole A D Bm A The Same melody I borrowed from the void D Bm I'd rather observe than structure a narrative A The characters are thin; D Bm The plot does not develop A D It ends where it begins Link; D, Bm, A (x2) Verse 2: D It's on the screen, in paperbacks Bm A In section 8 and cul-de-sacs D Electro haikus and drunk sonnets Bm A Are moving me along Em Along Chorus: (x2) D You cut my hair Bm A You left red ink everywhere Em Do my hands tell a story?

And now a pubic service announcement from everybody's favorite bra bitch, Brianna! Happy Friday from Pantyland! Mine started in a bunch after reading a tweet that contained my two favorite things: Rob Kardashian and underwear. Even though he looks like an overgrown 10-year-old who's allowed to drink beer, I have a soft spot in my, um, heart for the only Kardashian with a Y chromosome. And I needn't even elaborate on my love for all things intimate. Mr. K, as he's known in most of my fantasies, tweeted: "So u girls are only allowed to wear undies … good thing u can get them here" and the "here" led to Freshpair, where it's National Underwear Day. Like, now. Today. But the cool part is that they're "celebrating" by giving away 5,000 "fresh pairs" for free. Angels, I tell you. Angels. My squeals of glee, however, quickly turned to disgust when I read WHY they're giving it away: A recent Freshpair poll told the sick tale that 73 percent of the American population wears old "expired" underwear that's been ruined by stains, holes and more runs than your granny's panty hose. I had heard enough.

Julep Nail Vernis Michelle
December 19, 2011 | Posted by peach_ under Julep |
There's something so prim and proper about Julep Michelle.
That's not a bad thing; it reminds me of uniforms or a smart blazer and when on the nails, it gives hands a lady-like sophistication without going the classic soft pink route.
It must have been named after a Michelle who exudes confidence, but not in an in-your-face manner. She's a girl who is calm, collected and in control.
Michelle is a dark navy blue creme with a hint of dustiness. You won't find a defining grey cast, but it's not as vivid as a straight navy. Because of this, it's "quiet" for a dark color and can work on a variety of skin tones. It seems to make my warm-toned skin appear more pale and even.
From my experience, Julep does cremes best. Michelle is very pigmented and creamy, and I didn't have any trouble with potentially flooding the cuticles or having to cover up bald patches. One coat was almost enough and I applied two as usual. The finish is shiny even without a top coat, though it looks slightly more flat compared to non-dusty cremes.
If I were to compare this to another blue I've featured thus far, it would be Chanel Blue Rebel. They are both a smidgen dusty, with Michelle being much darker and less blue. I can't get the word "classic" out of my mind when describing Michelle. It's great to find a straight navy that doesn't lean indigo as many blues do.
Availability: $14 on Julep.com. I received my bottle as part of the Julep Maven Membership Program. Read my Julep Maven review here and join here. (Disclosure: these are referral links that provide me $15 Julep credit when you join Julep Maven.)
P.S. Do you have any plans for holiday-themed nails? I keep seeing so many cute nail art ideas and am wondering what to sport!
21 Responses to Julep Nail Vernis Michelle
Very pretty on you! And it really makes your skin look paler.
I like it, so classy!!! -
This is soooo pretty! Need it!
Your nails are so perfect! You're right, this is a very classic color…reminds me of blazers and uniforms, too.
I can't believe those swatches are without topcoat – they are so glossy!
I have yet to try this! At first I thought it would be another "blue" like Chanel. However it is much much darker, but without being vampy. You've described it so well.
As for holiday season, I think silver or gold would be very classic without going overboard. There are some nail art polish that are water based, so any mistakes can be corrected without removing the basecoat.
your nails and fingers are awesome looking! I NEED to try Julep now, they look like really good polishes
This is stunning on you! I've only tried 3 Julep colors, but so far their creme and metallic formulas have been fantastic!
What a pretty dusky blue! You're right, this is a very classic colour. I have a couple of navy polishes, but nothing like this. It's bold in an understated way, does that make sense?
My favourite thing about navy colours is the way it makes the skin look white in a very pretty, wintery way. It took me a few years after school to be able to wear it in clothing though, because it was my uniform colour for most of my life, however I am willingly wearing it since this year.
It's a quietly confident colour and I think it's great on nails. Do you know of anything similar, that has the same dustiness to it? Looks great on you, as always!
Wow! It looks like a very high quality polish!
Holy CRAP! Is there ANY nail polish you don't make look just stunning? I really love Michelle and your photos are just to die for. ♥

The only way you can do it is to d/l the CVS tree for 6.8.1, then make; make install. You should problably be in init 3 to do this. Make sure to run Xorgconfig after you've restarted.
I did it and I didn't really see a significant difference. Good luck!

- Matt Moore of ProBasketballTalk: "Obviously Smith gave Richardson the four-year deal, via Yahoo! Sports. It's a terrible idea. Richardson was probably going to get something similar to that deal on the open market, but that says more about the market than Richardson. He's a good defender. He can hit from the outside. But he'll be making more than $8 million when he's 35 and the Magic are trying to move him for anything they can. He'll be a chain around their neck. It's the kind of deal that got the Magic into this situation. Maybe Smith is in shock. Maybe he doesn't understand what's standing before him. Maybe he just really thinks Richardson can still put in big numbers. But the reality is that Orlando is watching the Titanic sink, and now they just had a new dining table airlifted in."
- John Schuhmann of NBA.com: "Now, $6.25 million a year isn't that unreasonable for Richardson. It's almost a 60 percent pay cut from what he made last season. And this is a guy who shot 40 percent from 3-point range over the last four years. But Richardson is on the wrong side of 30, with his production bound to decline each year of that contract. More important, if Smith is in the process of evaluating trades for his franchise player and possibly facing a rebuilding process in the wake of a deal, then why is he committing to a contract that won't expire until Richardson is 34 years old and will be difficult to move in a trade for at least the next two seasons? Wouldn't he want to remain relatively flexible instead of going deeper into luxury tax territory?"
- Royce Young of CBSSports.com: "Four years at a little more than $5 million per year is a pretty good bargain for a player like Richardson. Considering what a lot of other guys in the same neighborhood as him are going for, I'd say the Magic did pretty well. But that's not the whole story. Because the Magic are in flux right now, or at least should be. Richardson faded mightily last season and will greatly damage the Magic's chances of getting under the cap in the near future. Which seems like the logical plan post-Dwight. Cut salary, open up some flexibility and rebuild. Instead, it seems like Otis Smith is trying to prep to continue on with a mediocre roster that may include Nene or Brook Lopez in the near future. Curious."
- John Hollinger of ESPN Insider: "What makes this move particularly egregious is that, combined with the Davis deal, it submarined Orlando's post-Howard future. Should the Magic trade their star center, they presumably would want to get under the cap, and use the lure of Florida's sunshine and 0 percent tax rate to grab a prominent free agent, just as they did with Lewis the last time they were under the cap. But the $12.5 million in added 2012-13 cost with the Davis and Richardson contracts will make that feat much more difficult. (Bass was on the books next year but had an opt-out he would have almost certainly used.)"

In our new apartment, we will have a pantry, but it's not very big - about 55" front to back, 72+" long and a low ceiling (76"). I'd like to store all rarely used items in there - including cookie sheets, Le Creusets, appliances like the mixer (which I use maybe twice a year), as well as extra food and supplies (paper towels and the like). We haven't figured out yet what kind of door we'll install (about 2' of the front wall would be behind some stairs, so a sliding door wouldn't expose the entirety of the pantry), but we're open to suggestions. I'm thinking of 10" deep shelves on the front wall, 24" deep shelves on the "turn" (the short wall), and maybe 15" shelves on the back wall. I'd love your comments/suggestions. (p.s. I haven't been on here in a long time, but I designed my previous kitchen with all of your help and it was fantastic - but we've moved to an apartment and I'd like to create this pantry "out" of the kitchen, but nearby). Thanks for any suggestions! |

I have a stand alone type of cabinetry In my kitchen. It does not house my small appliances but mostly canned foods, cake mixes, canisters etc. It is painted to match my cabinets. It is very useful in my small kitchen and we use it every single day. It is very handy. It is tall about 6 feet and width I would say is 32 inches, We had it made by a local store. I do wish I could put smaller appliances in it. But we need the food storage space. I have it against an out of the way spot. But is handy to get too. Mine also has doors that you can not see through. Rather plain but nice looking. Mary |

Can you post a picture? And a floorplan? Having turntables in the corners might give you maximum storage. Dead corners are useless. 24" deep shelves? What needs shelves that deep? |

Thanks all. We do own the apartment, but I should clarify - the stairs are just 4 steps up from the hall to the main level. I'll post a picture over the weekend. |

THE SATURDAY NIGHT 3-WAY #4: The Pop-cast!
For those unfamiliar with the concept of what our little three-tier geekism is all about, essentially once a month me and my good friends Chris and Fox are going to get together, put on a triple bill of movies (both old and sometimes new), sometimes very loosely themed, get drunk, heckle each other, enjoy what the film's have to offer us and then just chat on about the films in question… sharing the experience with you. We throw in some original trailer links etc. to get you in the general vibe of what we're indulging in too! All by way of a FREE, just-click-the-play-button PODCAST just for you! Yes, you!
If you're coming to this 'fresh' then you can check out the first two written Saturday Night 3-Ways by clicking here and here. And you can indulge in January's DEBUT of the podcast by clicking here. This month we're looking at so-bad-that-they're-actually-thoroughly-enjoyable sporting underdog movies! And taking on board some people's suggestions that we think about a more "lengthier" show, we're back with a show that is THREE times the size of last time and then some!
Frequent, casual bad language and – well – the very prescence of Fox obligates us to point out that this is a NOT SAFE FOR WORK listening experience and, also, Stale Popcorn Legal Bods have advised us to point out that all views expressed within this podcast are those of the individual expressing them and are no way to be considered the general views of the website hosting this podcast or anyone affiliated with it.
As I try and explain in the podcast itself, so-bad-that-they're-actually-thoroughly-enjoyable sporting underdog movies are, for me, the post-pub equvilent of what dispensible slasher movies are to some people. They have a fixed, unoriginal template to follow. They're utterly cliched. Very rarely well performed but there's always an attempt to execute the stereotypical "feel good factor" whilst drowning in a cheesy musical soundtrack. They're a separate beast to the sporting underdog movies, like Miracle or Best Shot (aka Hoosiers) or Major League or The Karate Kid or the Rocky movies etc. whereby these films are actually well-made, well-intended and stand up to scrutiny. This time out I'm throwing down some movies which are the sporting underdog equivilents of The Burning or Sleepaway Camp in comparison to the majesty of the sporting underdog versions of Rocky or Miracle. You with me? Right…
In this month's Stale Popcorn podcast, you can join us in……… *deep breath* pushing to find which male movie star "does it" for our intrepid 3-Wayers, arguing over who is better – The A-Team or Magnum PI, using The Saturday Night 3-Way podcast as a force of good by trying to arrange a meeting between Kate and Gerry McCann and Liam Neeson, paying mention to the atrocity that is Soul Man, debating the best male-on-male insult to use when bare-chested and oiled up, questioning the merits of Air Supply, discussing the size of one participant's grandma's vagina, arguing about the upcoming A-Team and Bubba Ho-Tep 2 movie projects, experiencing the horror of Gazz's drunken incompetent falsetto version of Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing', studying the size of Gregory Harrison's forehead, struggling for a final thought, paying brief mention to Kristina's pants-moisturising love of Hugh Jackman, coming to understand that black people are nice and white people are evil, looking for Nia Peeples nipples, attacking C. Thomas Howell in a non-libellous manner and… and… there's surfing and… and… a free Cheap Trick song included… and… and… volleyball and… and… underground illegal boxing circuits and much, much, much, much, much more.
It's 1 hour 33 minutes and 39 seconds of verbalised, comedy-soaked movie-geek goodness!
Right… It's probably advised that you check out the trailers for the selection we're discussing, which are included below, before you delve into the podcast but other then that… Let's crack on eh?
Dir: William Phelps
Scr: Randal Kleiser / Tim McCanlies
(Click here for the original trailer)
Plot: Before entering art school next autumn, Rick sets out to spend the summer surfing at Hawaii. He knows nothing about the local habits, what causes him some problems, but by chance he gets a room in the house of local surfing guru Chandler. He teaches him the difference between 'soul surfers' and those who surf for fame and money.
Dir: Peter Israelson
Scr: David Thoreau
(Click here for the original trailer)
Plot: A Midwestern law student comes to California for summer work with his uncle but instead, hangs out at the beach and chases waitresses. When he meets a washed-up volleyball champion turned self-proclaimed "King of the Beach", the duo decide to team up for the biggest championship volleyball tournament of the year.
Dir: Rowdy Herrington
Scr: Djordje Milicevic / Robert Mark Kamen
(Click here for the original trailer)
Plot: A story of two teenagers trapped in the world of illegal underground boxing. One is fighting to save his fathers life and using the money to pay off gambling debts accumulated by his dad with local gangsters. The second is fighting for the money to get out of the ghettos. While being exploited by a boxing promoter the two teens become friends.
NB: Check out the trailer for North Shore. You know the "voice-over guy" that breaks in at the 16 second mark? Does anyone else get a whole nostalgic buzz when they hear him specifically? I know I do. They should have him in more trailers these days! If he's still alive, I guess. Ha Ha
NB#2: Check out this very badly done fan-edit trailer, turning the already thoroughly homoerotic Side-Out into a gay love story called Out.
NB#3: Mutant Vampire Zombies From The Hood? Well, it turns out that it does exist after all – so well done Chris, sir. Here is the trailer.
NB# 4: By extremely quick request, here is the trailer for that "killer elevator" movie starring James Marshall and Naomi Watts. How can you NOT be interested in a movie written by someone called 'Dick Maas'?
Leave us some feedback in the Comments Area below if you like – fire away with any questions, topics of conversation etc you'd like us to try and work in on the next one, coming in March… With (maybe) a special mini-Watchmen edition coming in between the regular "3-Ways"!
Anyway, see you next month for more of the same… and then some!

"Very simple to make yet very flavorful. It was nice not having to go to the grocery store to buy any special ingredients...everything we needed was in the fridge or pantry. We like a little kick to our sauce so we added some red pepper flakes, powder red pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. We also added some crushed pineapple to give the sauce..."

Meanwhile, the current caviar rage convinced me and seven other eggheads that it was as good a time as any to blow $150 apiece on as much caviar, and as many different kinds of caviar, as we could get our hands on. Feeling oh-so-very stylish, we arranged a so-called Egg Festival, where champagne and vodka--the traditional beverages of choice, because they clear the oil from the tongue so that more caviar can be consumed without any overlap of flavors--shared table space with blini, toast points, new potatoes with creme fraiche and all the other controversial caviar accompaniments.
Purists believe there should be nothing between the caviar and the palate, and since we had one of those in the crowd, we started out by arranging the ten different types of caviar in a circle on a plate and requiring the participants to make tasting notes on all of them. The caviars we were sampling: beluga 000 ($198 for 8 ounces), sevruga ($185 for 14 ounces), osetra ($165 for 14 ounces), keluga ($148.50 for 8 ounces), pasteurized beluga ($120 for 14 ounces), American paddlefish ($64.50 for 8 ounces), American bowfin ($29 per pound), Alaskan salmon roe ($18.50 per pound), pressed caviar ($160 per pound) and golden whitefish roe ($14 for 14 ounces).
We were all very sick later that night and the next day.
But, of course, it was worth it.
For those unfamiliar with caviar--pronounced cah-viar by the in-the-know crowd--we're talking about fish eggs, specifically the ones produced by the female sturgeon. By law, only sturgeon eggs can be labeled solely as caviar; the crap you get at the grocery store in little jars has to have its fish of origin before the word "caviar," as in "lumpfish caviar" or "salmon caviar." And if that's been your only experience with caviar, you ain't had caviar.
It's not for everyone, anyway. One member of our group had never tasted real caviar, and after the egg orgy, he was still unsure why we were so ga-ga over it. Here's why: It all comes down to taste and texture, the faint saltiness ("malossol" means no more than 5 percent of the caviar contains salt, which is added right after the fish is plucked from the water to preserve it) and the repeated pop! pop! that goes on in your mouth.
The amount of salt, the way the caviar has been chilled (it has to stay between 28 and 38 degrees), the freshness of the eggs (April, May and June, and then November, December and January are the best times of the year to get it because they coincide with fish hauls), and the fish itself determine the quality. No two batches of caviar ever taste the same, because of the variety of fish--sturgeon are bottom-feeders, and they are what they eat--and the amount of salt added, a decision made on the shore by a caviar "master," the training for which has been passed down for centuries.
Caviar originally came only from the Caspian Sea, which is where we get beluga, osetra and sevruga, which are just names for the different sizes of eggs, from largest to smallest. Beluga comes in three colors ranging from light-gray to black, and the eggs are graded 0, 00 and 000, the last being the lightest. It's also the most rare, so it's the most expensive. But there is no flavor difference between the three grades, so pay less and get more, I say. Iran and Russia both offer caviar, but most connoisseurs agree that Russia does a better job (Iran is cheaper, though).
The Chinese have gotten in on the act, too, due to the sturgeon that frequents the Amur River near Manchuria. The eggs are the same size as beluga but cost $50-$75 less per pound, so ke-luga's a good deal. There are also varieties of sturgeon in the States, one of which is the paddlefish, and that turned out to be the surprise hit of the tasting. Everyone agreed it ranked in the top four or five--even though paddlefish roe costs half as much as beluga and $50 less than osetra and sevruga.
Getting the caviar is easy, although you may have to pay a lot to have it Fed Exed to your extra-cold refrigerator. There are quite a few purveyors, but prices fluctuate, so it pays to call around among the more respected companies. I actually cobbled the tasting together from several sources, including Zabar's (212-787-2000) in New York and Urbani Truffles & Caviar (800-281-2330) in L.A. I got the pasteurized beluga--the other roe is fresh; pasteurization means it lasts longer but the result is saltier, fishier eggs--at European Mart, at 5225 South Leetsdale, which sells 3.5-ounce tins for $40. It's pretty good for pasteurized and could do in a pinch in recipes--certainly better than lumpfish. (Alfalfa's does carry preservative-free, pasteurized caviar; beluga is $52 an ounce, osetra $35, and sevruga $28.)

There are many other mobile phones in market, but if you love being Apple customer, who always offers best software to their customers, you would buy the best iPhone only.
Cheap iPhone 5 Deals
Apple iPhone 5 looks refreshingly sturdy with anodized aluminium coating on its back. Unlike previous iPhone models, this phone has metal and glass back panel. On face of iPhone 5 you would see strong scratch resistant corning gorilla glass, securing its new 4 inches LED-backlit screen. Apple claims that they used eco-friendly martial to design this new iPhone. They also claim that iPhone 5 is sleekest smartphone at just 7.6 mm depth in hand. Evidently, at just 112 grams weight, new iPhone 5 is most handy smartphone made by Apple. But that's not the best part of iPhone 5's design.
As this iPhone features full HD screen or in Apple terms "retina display", you can take full benefit of amazing clarity of visuals and texts on its 16:9 ratios screen. Moreover, Apple has added A6 chipset to iPhone 5′s hardware, which means everything that runs on its display should be more fluid and absolute visuals treat. To empower better processor and bigger screen a mobile would need battery power. Thus, Apple added bigger and sleeker battery while managing space inside iPhone 5's compact casing. It is an amazing fact that Apple has made their iPhone more powerful and made it less bulky at the same time.
Power of better processor can be experienced when you would use iOS 6 features on iPhone 5. With quad core Cortex A9 and tri core PowerVR SGX 543MP3, Apple A6 integrated iPhone 5 can handle heavy apps very efficiently. Apps like graphic intensive games that would run best on quad core powered new iPad, would now run equally smooth in iPhone 5. In fact, iPhone 5 would offer you greater processing speed at 1.2 GHz in comparison with dual core CPU of A5X chipset found in iPad 3. Even the primary camera of iPhone 5 has most advanced hardware. The 8 mega pixel camera has sapphire crystal glass cover on its five-optical lens made with 2.4/f wide aperture. This camera also has hybrid IR filter and BSI sensor to improve image quality. Both, Facetime camera and primary camera can record HD videos. With iOS 6 fresh features you can video call via cellular data, capture panoramic image and record 1080p HD video and stills simultaneously.
Apple iPhone 5 has several new software features that would work best with powerful A6 chipset. Thus to enjoy advanced technology at its best you would need to buy iPhone 5.
At Which iPhone, you can browse all iphone 5 deals or iPhone 4S deals at cheapest tariffs offered by major networks and sellers. So choose your favorite iPhone 5 model and buy it on contracts!

So, yesterday evening I had the worst run I have had in a long time. I was scheduled to run about 8kms but only managed about 4kms before I had to give up for the day.
My breathing was great, I felt like a doped up Lance Armstrong in terms of fitness, but my legs seemed to not have got the memo that we were scheduled to run that evening. I usually back my legs to push me up hills (all those table tennis matches in my youth blessed me with strong legs), but this time, they let me down horribly and I knew that I couldn't even push on because the risk of a proper injury was just too high.
I must say, if I am going to get an injury before Two Oceans, I don't mind getting it now because at least I have enough time to recover and get back into my training before it's too late.
In hindsight, I might have started this year too hectically in terms of distances run because I hadn't run properly since early December but as they say 'hindsight is a wonderful thing'.
So, I've been booked off running for a few days so tomorrow I might spoil myself and sleep past 8am, not too bad a consolation prize.
Oh and before I go enjoy my weekend, here's hoping Bafana win or draw on Sunday to progress to the AFCON quarterfinals, it would be a great achievement.

Our installer just finished installing the master bathroom tile floor and threshold. I am realizing now that there is a huge difference between the carpet and the marble floor. (measures about 1.25") Currently the carpet is taped down but even after we fluff it up it still is probably a 1" difference. The height difference is so large that I can see about a half inch of mortar and the orange DITRA. Bathroom floor is subfloor, plywood underlayment, heated floor mat, DITRA and then tile. Subfloor, 1/2" plywood underlayment and DITRA are under the threshold as well. Bedroom floor is subfloor, hardwood floor (3/8" thick), carpet padding and carpet. We were thinking at some point we may want to take out the carpet and have the old hardwood floors refinished but now I am concerned that we have a tripping hazzard and if anything we need to beef up the carpet and padding. Husband thinks we can just add some quarter-round in front, which will help hide the morar and sub-floor materials but doesn't eliminate the height difference. Current threshold is a 4" wide double bevel threshold...not sure if a long tapered threshold would be better but I am also thinking that would be harder to find to match our flooring. Any suggestions on what to do here? I attached a picture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We just had this very same issue when we had new carpeting installed in June. After many go-rounds, trying to come up with a solution, the carpet guy pulled back the carpet, covered the exposed edge with matching-color caulk (could have, should have ? used grout IMO, but DH thought caulk would be better). I did not want to use quarter round molding (didn't care for the look), though that was suggested. FWIW, had we used a Hollywood, or deeper/steeper beveled edge between the bathroom and the bedroom, we would have avoided this situation entirely. Same with our hall bathroom (stone saddle abuts the HW floor in the hallway). But, we used what had been recommended at the time with regards to bevel/edge. |
- Posted by akcorcoran (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 12:00
Do you have shoe molding in your house against your wall? (That little curved piece that goes from the ground up to your wall?) We had a height difference and ran a length of that between the two doors. It curved right from the ground to the seam of the threshold, covering the raw tile. You still see the whole threshold piece, but that's ok b/c usually you can see those. Good luck - I'm sure that must be frustrating. |
- Posted by Geoffrey_B (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 13:18
You should be able to get a stone threshold, or craft an oak or maple one. I think it was very unthoughtful of the tile installer not to plan for this. |
In my opinion, I think you would trip on quarter round or base shoe molding. A custom made wood threshold tapering down to the wood floor using the whole width of the door casing would ease the transition. You could stain it the same as your wood floor so it wouldn't be so noticeable from the bedroom side when the door is closed. The carpeting (for now) could be turned and tucked butted up to it? -Babka |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 14:06
A marble threshold is the traditional solution to this common problem. |
- Posted by akcorcoran (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 14:06
Ah, Babka, you're right - I didn't notice that it was at the back of the door area, not the front. I think Babka's suggestion is a good one! |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 15:29
We have saddles that are beveled toward the lower floor that are cut to fit in the doorways. The only real way to avoid a height difference altogether is way back in the framing stage. I've seen the subfloor actually recessed to height of the floor joists by sistering 2x stock onto each joist but 3/4" below the top of the joist so that the subfloor is actually placed on top of these extra boards, in between the joists. |
Thanks for all the great advise. Unfortunately, we kinda asked for this considering how much we wanted him to beef up the floor to handle the marble (2nd plywood underlayment, DITRA, etc.) I knew it was going to add height, but I guess this is one of those things that you don't realize how material it will be till you see it. Our previous threshold sat directly onto the subfloor and cracked straight across the middle, so we wanted to avoid that happening again. Talked to our contractor today and he mentioned that he is planning to stretch the carpet a bit so that he has room to beef up the padding in that spot and will roll the carpet to cover the DITRA/mortar, etc. So that will help wiht the height transition for now. I think if we decide at any point to refinish the hardwood floors underneath we will do as Babka suggested and have a custom made wood threshold tapering down to the wood floor. Thanks again for all the great advise. I knew we couldn't be the first people with this issue. :-) |
We had this same situation. I did some research and found that you could either make or buy a "ramp" made for just this purpose. Ours was installed under the carpet pad and its made of a very heavy rubber. Tapered on the sides as well as the approach and it spans the whole width of the doorway. and about 24" long so you've got a nice gradual transition. It's absolutely a perfect solution. The carpet installers ordered it and I couldn't be happier. I'll try to attach a photo of ours tonight. Ours were similar to this as they were rubber http://www.johnsonite.com/WallBaseFinishesAccessories/FinishingAccessories/SubfloorLevelerSystem/tabid/813/Default.aspx But I'd suggested the website carpetshims.com to the carpet installers when we first realized the problem. The ones from caroet shims.com are wooden. I'd have been majorly unhappy with the look and tripping hazard of a step up/ uneven threshold. |
I made oak thresholds for my bathrooms. I rabbited the edge so it projected over the bath floor. that required a half inch higher threshold, but it was good. The contrast was good between the carpet and bath floor and we never had people tripping into the bathroom. |

noun \kən-ˈcher-(ˌ)tō also -ˈchər-\: a piece of music for one or more main instruments with an orchestra
Full Definition of CONCERTO
Origin of CONCERTO
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Musical composition for solo instrument and orchestra. The solo concerto grew out of the older concerto grosso. Giuseppe Torelli's violin concertos of 1698 are the first known solo concertos. Antonio Vivaldi, the first important concerto composer, wrote more than 350 solo concertos, mostly for violin. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the first keyboard concertos. From the Classical period on, most concertos have been written for piano, followed in popularity by the violin and then the cello. Wofgang Amadeus Mozart wrote 27 piano concertos; other notable composers of piano concertos include Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn, Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Johannes Brahms. From the outset the concerto has been almost exclusively a three-movement form, with fast tempos in the first and third movements and a slow central movement. It has generally been intended to display the soloist's virtuosity, particularly in the unaccompanied and often improvised cadenzas near the ends of the first and third movements. Nineteenth-century concertos were often conceived as a kind of dramatic struggle between soloist and orchestra; many later composers preferred that the soloist blend with the orchestra.

I chose La Salle because of how different it was compared to the town where I grew up. Where I currently live, there is a corn field across the street from me, my house is flanked by the woods on one side and a farm on the other, and my backyard is a large cow field. I wanted to go to school in the city because I knew how different it would be and at the same time it was still only about an hour away. Being a "momma's boy" when applying to college doesn't give you a large proximity to work with, but La Salle has delivered in more ways than I could possible state.
What has surprised me the most about La Salle is the amazing feeling of community that you are inundated with when you become a Lasallian. After coming to La Salle, I found that school spirit is everywhere and I can truly say that I bleed blue and gold (figuratively- this is not to be misconstrued as a disease that runs rampant on the campus).

Final Thoughts
Up until I actually got to use such a device was I able to actually see and reap the benefits of what the Skorpion offers. There was a couple of times swapping out water blocks on my Radeon HD 7950 video card that I moved my arm over to grab a screwdriver and my sleeve dragged my mouse off the desk where the Skorpion took the weight of the Recon in stride and stood firmly on the desk while the mouse dangled just over the edge of the desk. That taught me another thing; I needed to shorten the cable a bit so that now the mouse only travels to the edge of the mouse pad I currently game on. Since the arm on the Skorpion is flexible, in the heat of battle I get a bit of resistance to tell me I need to lift the mouse rather than continuing in the airplane dive in BF3.
On its own, the Skorpion delivers on all of the features, whether it's a list of four, five, or six you are looking at, it delivers. I covered how the flexible arm comes off to ease installation and make it more compact, and I also covered how it can "guide" you as you fall off the edge of the gaming surface. The adaptive grooves snugly grabbed the cabling of the Recon and held is securely, even when the mouse fell off the table. The legs and feet do a great job, and on the Modder's Mat that covers my desk, the Skorpion may as well have been glued to my desktop, there is no way this is moving anywhere for me. I also like the fact that if you get used to using this device, Cooler Master thought of making it simple to break down so it can easily slide into a bag and not break during transit, so that you can use the Skorpion anywhere you go.
Let's be super honest here, this is not an item that you just can't live without, but it does have its benefits and uses. I was able to reap the benefits pretty quickly and learned to adjust to make it a non-issue ever since. Besides looking really cool on your desk, it does eliminate any cable issues, and elevates the cable so you don't catch on the side of the keyboard in really compact gaming areas. Keeping with the same honestly I started with, I have easily lost, forgotten where I spent it, or just spent an evening drinking for the cost of the Skorpion.
For the minimal investment of near $25 with shipping included, it is cheap enough that once the head is turned to look at the Skorpion, the pricing makes you say "why not?" as you carry one up to the counter. Even if this isn't a product you can see yourself using, don't forget the holidays are closing in, and this does make for a really reasonably priced gift idea for the other gamers in your life.
Either way I really enjoyed using it, and will continue to do so with any mouse I have on my desk.

With the introduction of the laptop, the mobile office was created. You could take your show on the road and get some serious work done. Of course, you still had some limitations. Even today you have limitations; unless you want to carry around a laptop that weighs 10-15 pounds you are stuck with a small screen size.
Fortunately, you do not have to buy a gigantic laptop or one with an extended screen that will cost you an arm and a leg. Mobile Monitor Technologies has something that can help to overcome this limitation; the Field Monitor Pro.
The Field Monitor Pro is a thin, light (relatively) LCD display that uses Display Link's USB video out technology. The 1280x800 resolution matches many current laptops/netbooks, while the number key pad included will be a welcome addition for many users. You get all of this and a couple of extra USB ports for around $300. Is this worth the extra weight and cash? Let's move on and find out.

Airport's runway
extension is OK'd
WILMINGTON — Plans to upgrade and continue the revitalization of a southern Vermont airport have gotten another big boost after Wilmington's Development Review Board approved a plan that to extend the runway.
The conditional-use permit issued last week calls for a runway that would be no more than 4,450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
Much of the airport is in Dover, but a section of the runway is in Wilmington.
Earlier this year the former Mount Snow Airport was purchased and renamed the Deerfield Valley Airport. It's part of a broader plan to bring more visitors to the region.
Officials don't anticipate bringing in jets larger than eight to 12 seats, the Brattleboro Reformer reported.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full Story -

I had already come to the conclusion yesterday that I could use a day off to catch up with a pretty extensive To Do list so I called my boss last night and let him know I wouldn't be in today. This morning it's become apparent I REALLY NEED a day off.
Here's the start of the day:
It's 8am and I still can't find the August blocks... I'll keep you updated! Kate |

Yes, you do! Enjoy yourself! And I spent way too much time yesterday looking for a marking pen that I just had in my hand! Finally, when I cleaned off the dining table I found it under my cutting pad. Sheesh....the proverbial snake. Teresa |

I was signing my son up for a rafting trip at church yesterday and I asked the children's minister if she could write my son's name on the list because I didn't have on my glasses to see. My son nicely pointed out that my glasses were sitting on top of my head (where I park them a lot!). So, BTDT!! Very frustrating to loose something! |
The proverbial snake is right! LOL I found the August blocks! Of course, I hate to tell you where I found them... in the "August" folder in my bin of received lotto blocks. OMG, how embarrassing is that? I must have put them there in a rare moment of organizational fever. OK, now on to the next challenge! Getting the July lotto sorted and ready for the drawing on Wednesday. But first, here's a picture to show you my #1 "helper", Jack Bauer. This is how Jack helps me at the computer. Can you see in the image that he pushes his back against the keyboard so hard it's only partly on the desktop? Then when I use the mouse I have to push his head out of the way and he wraps his paws around my hand. I either need a bigger desk or a smaller cat. He does not make this easy, but he does make it fun (usually). |
LOL!! Hey, I don't have a job and that's the way my day goes every day!! Hey, Kate, you mentioned that you were watching the Olympics this weekend (so was I), did you leave the August blocks somewhere near the TV?? Somewhere is a home waiting for all of us where we will be allowed to quilt. ;) |
Sign me up for that home, Rita! We'll need one attendant to help us find misplaced things and to thread our needles for us! |

Kate, You've had an exciting week-end so you deserve a day off to stay around the house and play. @:) I was going to suggest you look under your Kaffe Fassett project that's on the design wall for the blocks, but I see you found them right where they should have been. LOL I think Jack Bauer is saying, "You see me now?" SharonG/FL-IN |
Glad everything got found. Searching is so frustrating. Really love the cat photo. They really keep the smile in life don't they! |

Glad you are having a day off. Seems like I need one (and I'm retired!) Glad you found the blocks. I need to get going to the post office to mail the July blocks! Have a great day. Sue |

You not only need a day off...you deserve a day off...hope you are enjoying the day and finding some fun! If anything Jack is happy you're at home! |
Needy Day Update: I'm making a quilt from cut up men's plaid shirts. I was careful with all 6 shirts and thought I was only using cotton although one of them felt a little thin. I should have checked it better or even done a flame test on it, but no I didn't. I cut out a few hundred pieces of fabric yesterday, then sewed dozens of half square triangles this morning. I cut them and finger pressed the open, then used them in a 12 patch star pattern. I'm sure you're way ahead of me at this point and know what happened when I touched a hot iron to the first star. Yup, one of the six prints shriveled up into a shape resembling an amoeba. And no where near a 3"x3" amoeba. Thankfully I only had one star sewn so only had a little to take apart. Of course, the HST that I made with that fabric will have to be tossed, but I'm glad I caught it when I did! I'm giving up on the To Do list and going to visit a friend. Kate |
Ironing woes. We Canadians have new 50 and 100$ bills made of some plastic material. I had some bills (not all 50's and 100's) wound in a roll with an elastic band. I needed them for some thing or other and while the iron was handy, decide to give them a press to flatten them out. Those new bills shrivel just like your material. Fortunately, I had just touched the end of one so didn't totally lose it. Must take it to the bank and get a nice new one. A note to Canadians, "Don't iron your new money". Everyone I tell this to just looks at me like I am looney. Who irons their bills? Theresa |
Theresa, I heard of someone who left some "new" CDN bills in a hot car and the same thing happened. Another reason to be called "funny money" lol Mary |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 17:34
When we were kids and my brother had a paper route, he would always iron the money before turning it in. He had great respect for those bills. SharonG/FL-IN |
Yous guys are cracking me up lol!!! I have washed some (you would think that at my age I would know to check pockets before washing) and dried some but NEVER ironed!!! I had a rough blood drive in May, to make a long story really short, the witch of a nurse in charge was fired. But drama, drama, and more drama for the past 2 months. I dreaded the drive Monday, and it was over kill with the FIVE supervisors showing up BUT as busy as we were it went well. I'm just exhausted and brain dead today - I did make it to the gym. Just watching Olympics all day. Glad you found your blocks Kate, love the playful kitty!! |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman (My Page) on Tue, Jul 31, 12 at 17:57
Kate, with the kind of day you had, I have to ask something. When you said you "making a quilt from cut up men's plaid shirts", you did mean that the shirts were cut up, right? and not the men? Lol, yep, you've got an ex-English teacher asking you this! If I had a dime for every time I was asked, "can I go to the bathroom?" instead of "may I go..."!!! Mary, I heard a tale of someone who hid their plastic money in an oven, only to have his wife melt it when she pre-heated the darn thing without looking inside first. It might be an urban legend kind of thing, but who knows? I believe I'll stick with the wrinkles in my ol' American money. It disappears fast enough without me making it melt away...lol! |
Funny Dan the ex-English teacher lol!!!! When I was a Service Rep for Southern Bell we had a script that we had to follow exactly to fill an order. I had to ask, "Can you spell your name for me?", can you imagine what responses I got lol!!!! Where were you when Ma Bell needed you lol!!!!! |
Oh Dan, now I have this vision of you walking around with a red pen in your hand, making 'air corrections' every time one of your acquaintances says something grammatically incorrect! (BTW, how's my spelling?) |
- Posted by polardream (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 12 at 13:08
Kate, I am glad you found your blocks. I think going to visit a friend sounds like a great idea! The quilting will always be there! Dan, I, too, taught English - to 7-9th graders. Even though it was at a Catholic school, when they asked me if they could go to the bathroom, I would usually respond with, "I don't know, can you?" Oh, the stories we could tell ... Enjoy your week! |

Dan the Mailman - Using humor in the classroom to point out an error with your students is a nice way of correcting the pupil ~ pointing out someone's errors in a written forum is.... well.....just plain not very nice, no matter how funny you tried to be! JMO |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 12 at 17:39
Sue, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I taught 9th grade English, and believe it or not, I loved it! Some people looked at me as if I was crazy when I'd tell them that, but it was true. I didn't use public ridicule to punish the kids, but I would stand them in a back corner of the classroom for the remainder of the hour. After that, peer pressure took care of it all because by the end of the day, that students' friends had found out, and for some strange reason, more often than not, I'd not only get an apology, but excellent behavior from that student. I only had one student who had to stand in the corner twice. But yes, the stories I could share with you would make you cry, laugh, and nod with understanding. I enjoyed teaching. Kate, you are so funny! I really don't have that red pen any longer, nor do I correct everyone around me (and your spelling is fine...lol). But, when I was reading your post my mind simply skidded in about three different directions at once when I read about you and those shirts, and I had to share. I knew you'd get a good belly laugh out of it! Rosa, it takes more than that to get my undies in a bunch, lol! Thank you for that e-note though, I do appreciate it! Maggotyrivergirl, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and you've stated yours. I was raised to believe that "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all." So, to you, I have this to say, "nothing at all." Everyone have a fantabulous day! I'm gonna go do some farmvilling, and then dive into James Michener's Hawaii, for about the umpteenth time! |
- Posted by vacuumfreak (My Page) on Thu, Aug 2, 12 at 4:00
Kate, this is a funny thread! Theresa, I too have ironed my money many times... sometimes it just gets so wadded up, there's just no choice! A Canadian told me a few weeks ago about the new money being plastic, and I asked what happened if they left it in pockets and it went into the dryer... they said they hadn't tried that yet! |
Love everyone's stories. Since I recently returned from having a day (actually week) off, there is no excuse for my silliness. While on our road trip, I decided to do a load of laundry at the hotel. I forgot my liquid soap which I had intended to bring and had to buy some powder. I have a front loader at home, so saw the machine with the front door and dumped in the soap and clothes and started it. I kept checking but it just seemed to run and run. Finally I saw another lady starting up the "dryer" and asked her politely had she changed my laundry. I couldn't figure out how she was drying clothes if she hadn't washed them. She said she hadn't touched my clothes. My daughter was standing behind me and heard the water running in the ladies machine and ask me what machine I put my clothes into. She couldn't believe I had put them into the dryer. I went down to the clerk and told her I had done a bad, bad thing. My daughter cleaned out the lint filter and the clerk wiped out the machine and all seemed well. Can you image if I had used the liquid soap??????LOL sort of. |

BEV... Having worked as a clerk at a laudromat back in the 70's while in HS...I have a special appreciation for this story...it gave me a hearty laugh...thanks for sharing- still chuckling :-) |
- Posted by dan_the_mailman (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 15:52
Bev, that's just funny. I'm betting that when that clerk got home that night, the first thing she said to anyone was "you're not going to believe what happened at work today..." I'm still chuckling too... |
The bad thing is my daughter always posts my faux pas on facebook...and tends to embelish, but she assures me her friends (and our relatives) think I am a riot...not an idiot. Yeah, right. |

Penrice to close Australia's only soda ash plant11:29 AM MST | January 21, 2013 Penrice Soda Holdings (Adelaide), Australia's only producer of soda ash, has announced that it will close permanently its loss-making soda ash manufacturing facility and will import the product instead. The company's Osborne-based facility will be shut down in June with the loss of 60 jobs. Penrice cites reduced domestic demand, in part due to domestic wine being bottled overseas, thus requiring less glass; strength of the Australian dollar; and high labor costs. Imported soda ash is more than 40% cheaper, the company says. Penrice has signed a memorandum of...

Quoted from JJR Both superfoods for me, I have the chia but yet to try them. Someone said grind them up and put them on veggies or salad or something. I have to get enough courage to try them.
Quoted from Vegan Joe When you get your courage up try a drink they serve in Mexico city called Chia Freska. Put a table spoon of seeds in a glass of cold water stir occasionally for maybe 10 minutes, as they will form a thick jell on the outside of the seed. Add some lemon or lime juice, and some sugar, (I use stevia) and ice. Stir, garnish with a mint leave and voila. Or search it up online. You can also presoak the seeds and store them in the refrigerator for a week.
Quoted from Munchkin76 I use hemp milk now and it's great!!
Quoted from 14922 Where do you find help milk that's ok to use? Hemp milk is easy to find here but the ingredients always have avoids on the label like safflower oil & carrageenan. Argh!

ALAN MUNDE AND BILLY BRIGHT BRIGHT MUNDE Billy Bright, a great friend and wonderful musician, lives very near by, and for several years we have been making music together in various formats (see Two High String Band - Hot Texas Burrito). Here we are playing in a duo format - just banjo and mandolin (I grew up musically on the sound of Doug Dillard's banjo and Dean Webb's mandolin in the Dillards - always loved that sound). We have put our heads together and come up with the 13 pieces recorded on Bright Munde - 10 original, 2 traditional, and 1 Bill Monroe number. It was a real creative boost for me to work with Billy. What was way cool is that he made my few original numbers make sense and really come to life. Hope you enjoy the banjo and mandolin music we made.

Dear Banjo Picker,
I began the mail order business many years ago but it has been dormant for the last several years. I have decided to get back into the business in a rather small way for now.
The business is truly of the cottage variety. Many of the tab items are self- produced without the aid of a computer, although some are published through Mel Bay and look right nice. I like to say of the self-produced tab, it's in my handwriting but you will learn to love it (that's my hope). Some of the CDs are self-produced (quality, studio produced bluegrass). As I progress and get more time, I will upgrade and blast into the 1990s and get better at computer programs. Until then I hope you find some things that will bring you joy both as a listener and a student of the banjo.
ALAN MUNDE DOWNLOADABLE BANJO TABS! – Now you can download select Alan Munde tabs ala carte! These first offerings are from the Country Gazette album "Strictly Instrumental." Pick and choose the tune you want or get the whole set at a discount. All downloads include Tab in pdf format and solo MP3.
Tabs are $2.95 each or buy the whole set for $15! Click here to go to Downloads page
This is from a workshop I did in Paris a few years ago. The guitar player and singer is James Field who did just a wonderful job. I have gotten several requests for the tab to this performance and have made all four breaks available. .

Favorite cookbook is THE GREAT AMERICAN FAVORITE BRAND NAME COOKBOOK. It's just one of those books where, every recipe always turns out good!!!
chicken and dumplings, key lime pie, banana bread, smoothies.
I'd have to say I'm famous for my tomato, cucumber salad and my grilled vegetables.
Favorite restaurant is anywhere the service is 5-star, I can get a good glass of merlot, and the food is always hot and tasty.

ARCH Development Corporation Announces the Opening of the Anacostia Arts Center, Spring 2013
ARCH Development Corporation (ADC) announces the Anacostia Arts Center, coming spring 2013 to Historic Anacostia. Serving both as a community gathering place and a regional cultural facility, the Anacostia Arts Center will add approximately 10,000 square feet of creative commercial space to Good Hope Road SE. Conveniently located at the south end of the 11th Street Bridge between Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and 13th Street SE, the Anacostia Arts Center will bring independent creative projects together under one roof.
Anacostia Arts Center will occupy the street level of 1231 Good Hope Road SE, formally the ARCH Training Center. The property is divided up into spaces connected by a main hall, with common lounge areas in the front and rear of the building.
Currently under construction, the space will include the following:
- A dance and theater rehearsal space which can serve as a small performance space
- the American Poetry Museum Reading Room
- the short-term creative rental facility known as Blank Space SE
- a coffee shop & juice bar
- three gallery rental spaces
- two boutique/wellness center rental spaces
ARCH Development is now accepting proposals and lease applications for the following opportunities:
- dance & theater rehearsal space
- all gallery, boutique and wellness center spaces
- experienced coffee shop & juice bar operators
Duane Gautier, CEO of ADC, explains his vision for the center: "This project will assist in transforming the Anacostia neighborhood into a place people recognize as an arts destination."
Anacostia Arts Center represents the newest effort by ADC to revitalize Historic Anacostia by providing opportunities for the creative economy to flourish in the area. The organization's work in the neighborhood began with job training, housing, and micro- lending programs more than 20 years ago. The focus expanded to the arts in 2007, with ADC's opening of its first art gallery in the area, Honfleur Gallery. In 2009, Vivid Solutions DC Archival Print Lab opened, followed by the accompanying fine art photography and digital art exhibition space, The Gallery at Vivid Solutions. ADC produced its first large-scale community arts festival LUMEN8Anacostia in April 2012 and its return is scheduled for June 22, 2013. In summer 2012 Honfleur Gallery established the Annual East of the River Distinguished Artist Award. The Anacostia Playhouse, formerly the H Street Playhouse, relocated to Shannon Place SE with assistance from ADC. It is slated to open May 2013.
Calling it a "natural addition to an already flourishing art culture" in Anacostia and predicting that it will be "a destination for residents and nonresidents," ANC Commissioner 8A06 Kendall Graham said, "The establishment of the Anacostia Arts Center, along with the opening of the Anacostia Playhouse and second annual LUMEN8Anacostia festival, will only add to the momentum of Anacostia's renaissance."
ADC's Director of Business Development Nikki Peele pointed out that the location of the Anacostia Arts Center directly above The HIVE 2.0 will be mutually beneficial to both projects. She said, "The HIVE 2.0 is about providing an environment for innovators, visionaries, and entrepreneurs to collaborate and thrive. Having the Anacostia Arts Center in the same building as The HIVE 2.0 is a huge asset in making our space more attractive, more dynamic, and more cutting edge for the entrepreneurs that call our small business incubators home."
With the Anacostia Arts Center, ADC intends to further diversify the arts landscape in Historic Anacostia by providing the space and start-up support for other arts organizations to lay down roots in the community.
For more information on how to lease a gallery, wellness or rehersal space and to sign up to be on the next hard hat tour, contact Phil Hutinet at [email protected]
