More raves for Little Nothings
April 21, 2009 by NBM
From Comics 212:
"I haven't yet gotten around to publishing my Best-Graphic-Novels-of-2008 List, but the first collection of Lewis Trondheim's Little Nothings is most assuredly on it. Little Nothings is the series of collections of Trondheim's diary comics–moments from his days being one of the most respected cartoonists in the world, and the international travel and sightseeing accompanying that recognition. Trondheim is kind enough to bring us all along with him through beautifully rendered drawings and paintings done right in his sketchbooks, mixing live- and life-drawing with after-the-fact recollections of his day–although a brief segment in the middle of the book shows just how unreliable a narrator he can be. I admit that I'm a fan of journal and diary comics anyhow, but even if they've never been for you I think Trondheim is an interesting character with a relaxed cartooning style and these comics will appeal beyond the subject matter; Trondheim tackles personal and introspective themes, the larger comics industry, politics and the world at large, and even breaks the fourth wall to comment on the nature of the work you're reading–a little something for everyone. I feel quite fortunate when I see new books like this released into stores, and have specifically enjoyed the recent wave of material from Trondheim that NBM (and First Second) have brought us over the past few years. There's a huge potential audience for this material–what family man wouldn't want to be internationally respected in his field and travel the globe drinking with friends?–and I hope that Little Nothings finds it. Pick up your copy today."
From Comics Waiting Room:
"Anyone who's read CWR long enough knows that I consider Lewis Trondheim to be one of the greatest living comics talents, a man whose work is almost always transcendent ins some way. In 2008, NBM published the first collection of works from Trondheim's art blog, and it was easily one of the finest books of the year. Now they've graced us with a second volume, and that's some of the best possible news you could ask for on the graphic novel front.
THE PRISONER SYNDROME follows Trondheim on a succession of trips abroad, both for vacations and for comic conventions. What jumps out immediately is the focus on the minutiae at these stops; we open on him simply trying to avoid burning his feet on beach sand, a universal problem that Trondheim takes from the banal to the epic, laughing at his own (lack) of bravery and toughness. It's an amusing burst of normal humanity, setting the tone for the funny stuff ahead.
What stood out for me here overall, though, was the observational quality of the writing. Trondheim is one of the most accomplished artists in the world, but he has a poetic soul with the pen. When he ruminates on what it feels like to see the moon while the sun is shining, or the certain death that awaits him if he makes one bad step to the left on the mountain trail he's walking, or being somewhat vengeful towards a hotel that didn't deliver on promises made, he gives you an opportunity to see who he really is as a person. The author is giving the reader a gift here; it would be rude not to accept it.
There wasn't a single thing about this second volume of LITTLE NOTHINGS that didn't work for me, except for the fact that there's likely to be a wait for a third volume. Excellence."
First Time gets more reviews
April 21, 2009 by NBM
"Being that this is my first time reviewing for Tart, I found the title on the cover of First Time entirely appropriate. I never thought I'd find erotic entertainment to be fancy, seductive, thought-provoking and titillating. After years of exposure to hentai (which makes me giggle like a little girl at all the tentacular penises waving about), too many erotic novels, and a brief stint as a DVD porn reviewer, I wondered if I was truly too jaded to review this.
Oh, ever so wrong I was. After caressing the cover (yes, the dust cover is soft and almost velvet-like in the touching), I opened up my new little guilty pleasure. Ever get a box of Godiva chocolates at Valentine's, in the lovely, red, velvety, heart-shaped box? Yeah, it was totally like that.
So, inside the book? Ten little gems of naughty visual pleasure. The stories range from losing virginity to a first-time affair to the joys of buying a first sex toy. Each one has a story to tell and a small twist. Each one has an emotional context. All of them have beauty and some even show us an ugly side.
All of the art, rendered in black and white, is suited to each story, each line and curve rendered with what looks like loving detail.
On the whole, a very … satisfying read."
"The art is always interesting. Three out of five Tonys."
Tony Isabella, Comics Buyers Guide
"The book opens with one of the strongest pieces, "First Time" as drawn by Why I Killed Peter's Alfred. A woman tells her lover about her very first time she has sex, and the result is touching and sweet. From her plans on bringing the guy over, to how he (and she) reacts afterwards, it's a heartfelt story with a nice ending moment. Alfred's art is in fine form here, too; there's a panel where she's lying on her current partner's chest and idly scratches it that just feels very familiar and comfortable, and the panel where her arm and hand holding a wine glass is overlaid six times does a great job of showing nervousness and speed and quantity all at once.
"Fantasy" drawn by Jérôme d'Aviau is certainly the steamiest of the stories here—in fact, I'd go so far as to say it's the only actual steamy story in the entire book. This helps in part because of d'Aviau's crisp, clean art; I love how he draws both of the main characters here, in an attractive manner (both physically and also just general art style). For a story about dominance and fantasies playing out, Sibylline hits the pacing just right, slowly amping up the tension and bringing the climax of the story (no, not that kind) at just the right moment."
graylight gallery
April 21, 2009 by Naomi Nowak
A strange thing happened on saturday night. I've been working on the last chapter of Graylight over the last two or-so weeks, but I got stunted because I couldn't figure out what I wanted on the very last spread. I'd been focusing on the three main characters. Which ones to show and in what context? I was about to panic when I decided to let it go for a while and just be silly with my colleagues (yes, i spend saturday nights at the studio. bars? clubs? i don't know what these things are) when i finally KNEW how to do it! Of course I'd been focusing on the wrong thing and the wrong characters. So I finished it. Does this happen to you? You let your brain grind to no end and with no result only to come up with a great solution the minute you relax. So easy to say, yet so hard to implement. Now to colour the last 20 pages + do the cover. I'm going to start on the cover tomorrow… Crazy. In the meantime, here's our players.
This is the week from hell, by the way. I may have gotten in too deep when i decided to organize an art show with 13 people exhibiting and 100 or so visitors (on sunday). Better go get that wine&candy. Guh… Wish me luck!
New Dungeon Zenith gets reactions
April 20, 2009 by NBM
The reviews are coming in for our newly released latest Volume 3 of Dungeon Zenith:
"Hysterically funny. Endlessly inventive"
"Ah, Dungeon, what pleasures you bring me. Boulet is comfortably upholding the artistic standards of previous forays into Dungeon. Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim … man, these two guys can seemingly do no wrong. They're leading lights in France's comics scene, and it's obvious why. Dungeon: Zenith vol. 3: Back in Style is witty, fun and adventurous. Readers of fantasy, of humor, of unapologetically fun comics are going to love it."
"The Sfar/Trondheim duo did not disappoint in this latest volume, taking crazy story risks and throwing in plot twists and character reversals at the drop of a hat. DUNGEON remains my favorite genre-related series of all time."
April 16, 2009 by Jesse Lonergan
So I think (I think) my Turkmenistan book is pretty much done. Terry's read it, mentioned some changes. I've made the changes. I still need to put the cover together, the end feels close. I think Terry and I have settled on a title of The Golden Age: Two Years in Turkmenistan. And along with the work on the book coming to an end my time in Vermont is also ending. I'll be moving back to Boston (Cambridge, Somerville) in the beginning of May. Last weekend I was down looking at apartments and it's the same plan for this weekend.
And then once I get settled there I guess I'll start on the next book. I'm weighing two ideas… a reality based book about travelling back and forth across America or a post-apocalyptic romp (something like Beach Blanket Bingo plus Mad Max divided by Candide).
Bringing Up Father on its way
April 16, 2009 by Terry
Well, we're putting to bed the next great entry in our Forever Nuts collection of classic comic strips, Bringing Up Father, and it looks gorgeous. The strips have been meticulously restored and we end up with a colorful foreword by Bill Blackbeard, short but quite sweet, and a great intro by R.C. Harvey who gives us all we could want to know about McManus and this seminal strip in the history of comics.
And if that weren't enough, we have quite a few annotations/footnotes at the end of the book that explain references in the strips. Allan Holtz, who worked on this with us did painstaking research. His full set of notes even beyond what we culled for the book will be posted up online when the book is out.
We will be a little late with the release, mid-June shipping instead of May but worth the wait, believe me.
Tanaka outed
April 14, 2009 by Terry
Well it's out on blogs, especially Heidi McDonald's The Beat.
Veronique Tanaka of Metronome that we published is in fact… Bryan Talbot. Yes, that Bryan of Luther Arkwright, The Tale of One Bad Rat (which I personally think is his magnum opus) and more recently Alice in Sunderland.
And of the Art of Bryan Talbot which we also published.
Turns out Heidi's post is creating quite a controversy, JT Leroy has already been mentioned and two famous comics bloggers have knives drawn as we speak.
Haaaa, Bryan, you're a genius, I luv ya. Except you could have given me some warning, ya know?
And if this makes you check out the very arresting work that is Metronome -and is absolutely unrecognizable as Bryan's work, btw, that's the REAL genius- then great! 'Cause it's another GN we're very proud of having in our catalog. JT Tanaka or not.

From Rick Geary
April 13, 2009 by Rick Geary
Here is a small preview of my latest book from NBM, "Famous Players: The Mysterious Death of William Desmond Taylor." It's the convoluted tale of a still-unsolved 1922 murder in Hollywood, involving several film stars and other "famous players" of the day. The two finished pages reproduced here recount the discovery of the body, always the best starting point for a good mystery.
By the way, I'm proud and thrilled to be nominated for two Eisner awards this year, especially so because they both recognize my work for NBM, on last year's book "The Lindbergh Child."
Skinflowers is at stores
April 13, 2009 by NBM
Eurotica's latest, Skinflowers by Ecce Homo, the photog who helps Favole painter artist Victoria Frances pose models for her paintings, is at stores now and from us of course.
It's an import from Europe, a beautiful jacketed hardcover with photography of nudes in fantasy goth settings. Next week, we'll be shipping out Victoria Frances next new book Arlene's Heart, a moving goth fairy tale for adults. Frances, A Spaniard, has already made quite a name for herself in this country with the vampire series of illustrated books Favole.

Too much? A movie gives us an inside view of poverty
There is no doubt the filmmakers behind the documentary Rich Hill intended their movie to be a sympathetic portrait of three young men living life in the margins. Andrew, Appachey and Harley are all teenagers from the titular Missouri town, a less-than-bucolic and all-too familiar zone of strip malls, vacant downtown streets, grinding poverty and vanishing opportunities.
Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo, the movie's directors (and cousins), have their own family roots in the area, which made it easier to engage with their subjects and move about the town's streets, backyards and homes. The result is a lovingly made and emotionally honest picture, pretty to look at and easy to like.
So why did the movie make me so uncomfortable? Why did I have the nagging feeling the filmmakers were exposing to the public the private miseries of people who perhaps didn't understand their dysfunctions would be splashed across theater screens and streamed around the world? And I say that not because these people were ignorant, but because their burdens were simply too oppressive, too persistent, for them to give much thought to the artistic whims of a pair of documentary filmmakers.
The charge of exploitation is an easy one to lay on documentary directors. Their subjects rarely stand to benefit as much as the filmmakers do. But many professionals walk this line with care, and Tragos and Palermo are obviously sensitive to the issue.
They adopt an impressionistic approach to the three boys, capturing their daily lives and interactions among friends and family members with a drifting, sometimes dreamy camera. The visuals are textured with freight trains, fireworks, bake sales and other artifacts of rural Americana. The emotional palette of the movie is respectful, even tender. The characters may be inarticulate and not particularly interesting in any special way, but their musings on immediate needs and ordinary hopes are rendered as soulful, even important. This is all fine, on the surface, but it's hard to ignore how screwed up these kids' lives are.
Andrew, Appachey and Harley are each being smothered under a familial crush of poverty, crime, obesity, abuse and addiction. Their parents are either in prison or so lost in a swirl of their own abject emotional and physical problems they hardly seem capable of getting out of bed in the morning, let alone attending to the demands of their troubled kids.
Yet the filmmakers, in an effort to steer clear of moralizing, avoid grafting any sort of social "message" onto their film, any suggestion of how these boys could get help, or any larger picture of the endemic issues faced by the community as a whole. They are so determined not to pass judgment on these characters, not to invest their film with any irony (except for the obvious contradiction in the title) that they end up with a movie that, as observation, is over-mannered and, as character study, is undernourished.
What, exactly, are we supposed to take away from the movie? Rich Hill is cultivated to appeal to viewers who may never enter homes this littered and ramshackle, whose response to lives and conditions this desperate can only be pity. But the movie demands we not pity, or judge, or condemn. Consequently, I felt guilty for having all three of those responses.
The filmmakers' hearts are in the right place. Rich Hill reels in our sympathies by way of a studied restraint and a folk-lite guitar score, and by applying a poetic gloss on the devastation wrought by hardship and ignorance. But it seems to be making a case for the ennobling value of squalor.
(Note: Lest you think I'm criticizing this film from some perch of elite privilege, I grew up marginally poor in rural Pierce County, and I've watched extended family on my mother's side struggle with lifelong health problems, sibling resentments, low self-esteem, unplanned pregnancies, crime, prison and, yes, even hoarding. Also, as documentary filmmakers, my wife and I have made dozens of short films for organizations working on the front lines of these chronic issues. Rarely do people agree to be interviewed unless they know the story they will tell will be used to help others or the organization that helped them.)
If you go: Rich Hill plays Aug. 15-17 at SIFF Film Center. Ticket information and details here.

Unfortunately I have not seen Rich Hill, and unless it comes to Tacoma via The Grand Cinema, there is probably no way I will ever be able to see it. Yet it sounds as if it is a genuine work of art, both for its documentary value and for the veracity of the candid moments recorded by its filmmakers. Assuming this is true, it is an achievement that would surely be honored by critics just about anywhere else on this planet – especially in the cultural epicenters of New York, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg.
But here in the aesthetic backwater of Pugetopolis, Rich Hill is damned by critic Rustin Thompson for what he implies are serial intrusions born of what he belittles as "artistic whims." The film's unflinching view of the inescapable poverty that now characterizes reality for half the U.S. population – a triumph of reportage that elsewhere would be lauded amongst the picture's greatest strengths – is the very quality that prompts Mr. Thompson to denounce it as "making a case for the ennobling value of squalor."
Actually – again with the stipulation I have not seen the film – what Mr. Thompson seems to be expressing in his notably negative review is probably just another variant of what I have learned from bitter experience is our region's characteristic and often violent hostility toward social-documentary photographers and the images we produce.
The basis of this prejudice – I have encountered its like nowhere else in the United States (not even in the [allegedly] far-less-civilized South) – is no doubt the same provincial small-mindedness that defines how people born in Seattle and its environs relate to those of us from elsewhere. It seems the rampant xenophobia that underlies the Seattle Freeze – the well-documented antagonism to outsiders – readily expands into the spurious notion any un-posed photograph of the human condition is invariably a malicious invasion of the subject's privacy.
In its most extreme form – as a quietly fanatical dogma commonplace amongst the members of the local Ansel Adams cult – this patently reactionary rejection of social-documentary imagery is bolstered by a sneering conviction that photography of the human condition is nothing more than a waste of time and material – a medium with no artistic value whatsoever. In the eyes of these chillingly heartless elitists, human subjects and the struggles of oppressed peoples are reduced to meaninglessness in comparison to the grandeur of un-peopled nature.
Obviously Mr. Thompson does not go nearly so far in his rejection of Rich Hill. Indeed he admits "(t)he filmmakers' hearts are in the right place." But – to me at least – his review nevertheless bears (and bares) an undeniable taint of Seattle's aesthetic toxicity.
There is also in his text the bias one would expect of a cinematographer who earns a living making propaganda films for charities: that is, he condemns Rich Hill for avoiding "any suggestion of how these boys could get help, or any larger picture of the endemic issues faced by the community as a whole." In other words, there was no uplifting pitch at the end of the film – no pretense a viewer's contribution might make things better – to relieve the guilt and emotional depression evoked by the subjects' circumstances.
From my perspective, that notable lack of PollyAnna deception may underscore what might be Rich Hill's two most revealing truths: that as capitalism inevitably morphs into fascism, the poverty of its subjects is inescapable; and that our species' only hope lies in a revolutionary ideology no present-day U.S. theater would dare screen.
(DISCLOSURE: though most of my lifetime income came from writing and editing, it was photography that produced most of the fame-and-glory aspects of my resumé. My picture credits start with Paris-Match and Newsweek; I was the social documentarian for Manhattan's Beth Israel Hospital [1967-1970], for which I focused on the people and neighborhoods served by its free clinics; was the founding photographer [1974-1976] of The Seattle Sun; taught photography during the later '70s and early 1980s at Western Washington University's [Seattle] Center for Urban Studies and at Tacoma Community College; am officially retired but retain a working familiarity with film and cameras. A consummate street photographer during my Manhattan years [1965-1970; 1983-1986], my first few weeks in Seattle taught me that attempting street photography here is as dangerous as trying to photograph the Ku Klux Klan in Tennessee.)

Thanks Lorenbliss for 0pposing Rustin Thompson's nitpicking BS criticism of the Rich Hill film-if this doc opens up some people's minds & compassion about towns populated with residents (especially kids)that get "left behind in the forgotten dust" it's achieved a very worthwhile task of leaving this mark on our American conscience & humanity. Awareness of the grind of American poverty is at least a step in a direction of easing the crush of it all.Lastly I live near many struggling, desperate small towns in Iowa & Missouri & Illinois & these stories NEED to be told!

"inescapable poverty that now characterizes reality for half the U.S. population "
Half the population? Lordy, and you wonder why no one takes the looney fear left seriously.

So when's a Proving Grounds MM queue going to happen?
We need matchmaking rito-san
I agree! I'd love to see a Proving Grounds MM queue. I'd prefer to see both an ARAM queue and a non-random queue. I know, a lot of people like ARAM (and I think it's fun, too), but I also think Proving Grounds has potential to be what Dominion was supposed to be: a "competitive" but faster-paced version of LoL. I'm not sure that competitive ARAM will work that well, given that, e.g., you can "game" the system by tailoring your champion pool.
Or maybe an expanded free-week pool? Maybe the current week plus the previous week's pool.

A family friend said Wang, who went by the name David, and two other students who shared the Isla Vista apartment with Elliot Rodger had planned to move out because they weren't getting along with him.
"That guy was always playing music very loud in the middle of the night," Sherry Fang told KNTV-TV on Monday. "They complained to the manager of the apartment and they were planning to move out."
"Normally, they don't talk to each other," Wang's mother, Jinshuang "Jane" Liu, told the station. "They don't have much interaction."
The tearful mother said her only son was supposed to come home to Fremont for the summer, go on a family vacation to Yellowstone National Park and celebrate his 21st birthday in July. The station said the father, Charlie Wang, could only stand in the doorway, hugging his wife and uttering deep, guttural cries.
Wang, 20, and his parents immigrated to the country from China ten years ago. He graduated from Fremont Christian School and was studying computer engineering at UC Santa Barbara.
Liu called her son "the joy of the family," someone who aced his college aptitude exams and never bragged about it.
"I wish I could go in exchange of my son's life," she said. "I'm just heartbroken. You can't imagine for a mom."

How the power of positive thinking, and Seinfeld, helped a lonely woman get out of a rut.
Another Saturday night, and I was home alone. As usual.
Not like I'd be good company anyway, I thought, glancing down at my wrinkled pajamas, which I hadn't changed out of since I had crawled out of bed at noon.
I burrowed deeper into the couch and clicked the TV remote. Maybe there was something halfway decent on. Something that would get my mind off my own pathetic existence.
Okay, to be fair, things weren't all bad. I had a good job in the marketing department of an Oklahoma City hospital. Good friends, too. But they had their own lives. They were married with kids—like I'd always imagined I would be. Instead, here I was, 35 and single.
It wasn't as if I didn't want to be in a relationship. For ages I'd been begging God to send me that special someone to share my life with. And last year, I thought he finally had. I met a man and fell hard. He was strong yet sensitive enough to tell me often, "I love you." The problem, I found out, was that he was telling three other women the same thing. I felt so betrayed—not just by the man I'd trusted my heart to, but even more, by God. I gave up on church, on prayer. If God really cared about me, why was I still alone? Still miserable?
I clicked the remote again. A Seinfeld rerun. Might as well watch, I thought. Don't have anything better to do. Strangely, I got caught up in the episode. George, a lovable loser type, decided that since everything he normally did turned out abysmally, he'd change his luck by doing the opposite. And it worked: He found a girlfriend, landed a great job and moved out of his parents' house.
I laughed for the first time in weeks. That's when it occurred to me. Like George, I was unhappy with the rut I was in. Could I change my life by doing the opposite of what I normally did?
The next week, my department went on a retreat at a ropes course. I'm athletically challenged, so I wasn't exactly looking forward to all the activities. But the facilitator, Jina, urged us on with such sparkle and enthusiasm, even I got into the team-building games. I never would have thought I'd be able to walk on a high wire or rappel from a perch in the treetops, let alone have fun doing it!
Jina was around my age and wasn't wearing a wedding ring, yet she seemed content. No, it was more than that. She was joyful. During lunch, I stretched out on the grass close to her. I wanted to soak up some of her spirit.
"This course is a lot like life," Jina told our group. "Sometimes you've got to step out of your comfort zone and just trust that you'll get where you want to go." We relived the fear and excitement of edging across a rope strung between two tall utility poles, counting on coworkers on the ground to belay us if we slipped. Jina laughed, delighted that she had gotten through to us. "If you think this is challenging," she said, her green eyes dancing, "you should come hiking and rock climbing with me and my friends next weekend."
My coworkers shook their heads and chuckled. "This is enough for me," one of the guys said. Me, too, I thought. I was a city girl. The only hiking I'd ever done was from the parking lot into the air-conditioned shopping mall. And rock climbing? That sounded dangerous.
Then I remembered that Seinfeld episode. Do the opposite.
Before I knew it, I was telling Jina, "Count me in."
All week long, I kept thinking, I must be crazy! Every time I was about to pick up the phone and call Jina to cancel, I'd remember how excited she seemed about life. I wanted to live like that. I couldn't back out of this.
Early Saturday morning, I met Jina and half a dozen others at a wildlife refuge in southwestern Oklahoma. She'd brought a pack full of gear for me. "We'll hike in and rest near the rocks before we climb the slab," she said, hoisting the 30-pound pack onto my back.

An important aspect during a fire accident is to first come out of the room and rush towards the staircase to get out of the building. If there is a lot of smoke, the person trapped should keep a wet cloth around his/her neck and crawl down towards the staircase.
This is among the precautions that the fire and emergency services personnel advice people.
"It is panic that grips people trapped inside during a fire accident that leads to casualty. They need to stay calm and take steps to come out in a safe way," said a senior Fire and Emergency Services officer. The officer took the instance of the recent smoke at a two-storeyed building on the K.S. Rao Road.
"Smoke really blinds you and it will be difficult to breathe too. The six persons trapped on the second floor could have crawled by placing a handkerchief on the nose. This would have lessened the anxiety," the officer said by stressing on the need to have frequent fire safety drills.
Those trapped in a room where the fire has occurred need to come out by locking the room. Space, if any, between the door and the floor, has to be closed by keeping a cloth.
"This will restrict the fire to that room," said another fire officer.
If smoke was entering the adjoining rooms, the windows of those rooms should be opened. They should reach the staircase and come down using the steps. People should exercise caution not to rush, but come out of the building in a steady way.
The residents of buildings that are above 10.4 metres should ensure that the buildings are compliant with all fire safety norms. One among the norm was to keep 25,000 litres of water in the overhead tank for extinguishing fire. This water should be made available through a separate pipeline running across all the floors.
There should be systems in the building to alert occupants about emergencies like a fire or smoke. "We want the occupants themselves to take up the issue and ensure safety," the fire officer said.
Although the Fire and Emergency Services were offering fire safety drills and training free of cost, there are not many takers. Last year, there were eight fire drills and 51 lecture sessions.
The Fire and Emergency services personnel are now visiting schools and holding training sessions for children.

hi all, hoping you can help. Years ago I had a recipe that you made up a sauce. I believe it had stewed tomatoes, any veggies that you liked and a package of weiners.
Then you would grill cheese sandwiches and put this sauce on top of the sandwich and it would be a pizza tasting sandwich. Have you ever heard of this. it was a great recipe that could be made ahead especially with teenagers. Any one have that recipe. I have searched the net and can't find it. Not making it up, honest, it did exist ....thanks for any help you can give. |

At Chase Evans Salon and Spa, the team of stylists and aestheticians is under no illusions about what it takes to create an excellent client experience. "Constant commitment," the owner insists, is what drives each staff member to go above and beyond the call, from the way they listen to clients during complimentary consultations, to the ceremonial backflip with which they conclude each successful blowout. In between, hair stylists––each boasting more than 20 years of experience––craft custom cuts and colors with European products, helping heads adopt a look as vibrant as the chandeliers that flank the front of the salon.
Removed from the bustle of the salon, aestheticians conduct their tranquil services inside a soundproofed treatment room. Massage therapist Milena Barbic—who's been with the salon since its opening—eases muscle tension with traditional and hot-stone modalities as quiet music calms clients and gently sings stress to sleep.
A deep love of her work has kept licensed therapist Monica Gonda practicing bodywork for more than 14 years, and it is this positive energy that emanates from her fingertips during each session. In her repertoire of seven massage modalities, lomi lomi—loving hands in Hawaiian—stands out for its use of the forearms to send waves of relaxation into deep layers of muscle without attracting beach bums. Monica also practices a lymphatic-drainage technique that notably reduces swelling caused by fluid buildup in connective tissue. The most unique therapy is the crystal massages. A blend of body and energy work, warm semiprecious stones bathe acupressure points in soothing heat and redirect energy flows to achieve mental clarity or emotional well-being.
Monica awakens senses with organic tea and chocolates and can expand olfactory pleasure with her nuanced understanding of how geranium, lemongrass, and clare sage influence mood through sensory and monetary payoffs. Monica extends the reach of her goodwill by donating 5% of her profits to cancer research, an issue close to her heart because she practices oncology massage for lung-cancer patients.
For 25 years, the team of specialists at New Age Massage and Health Center has promoted balanced bodies and minds with a variety of holistic services. Massage therapist Nicky Dhanani not only loosens muscles with acupressure massages or ancient Indian shirodhara treatments, but also remedies digestive woes as an instructor with the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy and knowledge acquired at a naturopathy hospital in Mumbai, India. Dhanani is also a reiki master and teacher, and uses pranic healing and chakra balancing to address concerns such as pain, stress, or a chronic inability to find Waldo.
Between Nicky and Sneha Dhanani, who is a licensed skincare expert completing studies in holistic nutrition, guests should be able to find an alternative-medicine treatment for any concern, be it physical or emotional.
Dark hardwood floors and creamy white walls form the basis for Luxe Day Spa's tranquil environs, where guests bask in skin and body treatments that polish them from head to toe. An array of facials harnesses nutrients, organic enzymes, or high-tech LED devices to treat blemishes and reduce the signs of aging, whereas seven styles of massage melt away chronic tension. While reclining in a zero-gravity chair with a heated pillow under their neck and a toenail-themed romance novel over their eyes, guests enjoy relaxing pedicures enhanced by hydrating paraffin treatments. Meanwhile, specialists imbue or remove ink in the skin with permanent makeup, which brightens eyes, brows, or lips with smudge-free color that lasts for years, or tattoo-removal treatments that eschew skin-bleaching lasers in favor of invisible injections.
If people are always laughing at you in a dubbed voice and loudly declaring that your kung fu is weak, it may be time to stop watching movies and start working out. Today's deal will get you in fighting form: for $50, you get 10 dance, fitness, or martial-arts classes of your choice at Temple Arts Fitness in Davie (a $150 trial value or a $100 value for new gym members). This Groupon can be used for any class, though you'll have to call ahead to schedule OmGym, Pilates, or spinning. Parking is free.
Need AHH Massage is all about extras. Whether you need a therapeutic massage to ferret out chronic muscle pain, or an old fashioned Swedish massage to oust stress and bruised feelings from an old debate club injury, licensed therapists toss in a complementary hot-stone treatment and aromatherapy. The private rooms?tastefully decorated in muted blues and browns?stand at the ready with towels heating up in warmers. Even the website throws in some free laugh therapy with whimsical pictures of cats posing like human beings. Need AHH Massage also employs multiple massage therapists with experience in the art of reiki energy-style bodywork and Thai therapy, which involves stretching and accupressure.

God knows why a plant that size would need two stakes.. and what looks like steel cable to hold it up .... and do understand.. i am being very honest.. since you did not do this ... ken |

lol calliope |
Agree that whatever it is is staked to within an inch of its life - remove those stakes if you MAY want to keep it. A closeup of the foliage, twigs and bark will help with ID. Also, tell us where it is planted (city/state.) |
I would say it is probably an 'ornamental' pear. It has clearly been horribly treated and vilely hacked about in the name of 'pruning'. Even if you wanted a Pyrus calleryana (which most knowledgeable tree people in the US wouldn't touch with a barge pole) this one is a disaster. I seldom advocate killing plants but for this one it would be a mercy. |

I think so anyway.
Yesterday I was supposed to go into Seattle because my six year old son had an appointment at the Neuro/Developmental clinic of the SCH. The day before (Tuesday for those of you keeping track) my son and I had been at his regular speech appointment with his therapist. She is mostly gluten free and offered us gluten free blackberry walnut bars. I didn't think about it any further until that night when my husband was giving our son a shower and saw that Finn had a rash and was itching in patches (his usual reaction within 8 hours of ingesting gluten). I rushed him a Benadryl and he was asleep in 20 minutes.
Now Wednesday was a busy day in my house. My husband had a training class at a base over an hour away and had to be on base (and therefore up) much earlier than usual. Since he had to head off the island also; I made plans to go into Seattle with my friend Jamie, her one year old daughter, my 15 year old daughter and of course my son. My husband and I were both up at 5:45 AM and I was immediately in the bathroom. By 10 minutes til 8 AM, I was sweaty, nauseous, dizzy and had been in the bathroom five times. I was barely able to walk down my stairs, let alone make the two plus hour drive to Seattle and ask intelligent questions about my son's speech delay. So it was with a great deal of disappointment that we rescheduled our trip for next week.
Now my friend Jamie that I was going with is a diagnosed celiac and we also had planned to celebrate her birthday while we were down in the city. Finn's speech therapist (who is a lovely woman and I totally don't blame for glutening us. There's no way she could have known our cross contamination response was so strong and I have apparently got to start really cracking down on that factor) recommended a gluten free/vegan bakery and restaurant in Seattle called the Flying Apron; so I was going to take Jamie there after Finn's appointment. We were all pretty bummed about getting up early and putting all this planning into a trip that we ended up postponing. Especially my poor friend Jamie who's husband is deployed right now and she's home with a one year old. She was really looking forward to the adventure and time with adult conversation.
So Jamie is recommending to me that when I come back from my Vegas trip (thirteen days, Tami!), I talk with my doctor about getting my celiac test. Now I've resisted getting tested since it seems silly to me. I mean the treatment for celiac disease is lifetime compliance to a gluten free diet which seems redundant since I already am gluten free and to find out definitively if I have celiac disease I'd have to STOP doing that. After A's experience trying to eat gluten again for her test I was even more like "See, see, that's a bad idea." But now I'm mulling it over again and here are the reasons why:
1) If I actually have celiac disease its hereditary. Although my kids both know why gluten is bad for them and won't eat it, they should know their complete family medical history.
2) If my gluten intolerance is actually celiac disease I need to reevaluate my position on cross contamination for myself and my kids. I'm not 100% militant about avoiding it and have so far avoided replacing all my kitchen items, which I would need to do if I am a celiac.
3)I would have to reconsider my current housing as it shares vents with my neighbors (townhouses, bah). I could be perfectly gluten free in my home and still breathe it anytime my next door neighbor bakes. But if I do have celiac disease it would be a valid reason for housing to move me to a separate house. However the flip side of that would mean moving which is far from my favorite activity but it would also mean not sharing walls with neighbors either which I would love. So I'm a little torn there.
4) If I am a diagnosed celiac I am automatically guaranteed a Medical M licence in the state of WA if I want to get one, so there's that too. lol
So as I'm sitting here writing this it feels like a shooting pain in stabbing me low in the guts under my belly button and I'm thinking that choosing the test means choosing approximately six weeks of feeling like this, on purpose. That seems awful masochistic even for me and I'm worried about how my family would fare with me at best operating way below optimum and at worst completely out of commission for that whole time. I mean I love them with all my heart but I have some trepidation about leaving them alone for six days while I'm Vegas. I can't imagine how they'd do with me useless for a month or so.
I keep vacillating on this and I was really hoping writing about it would help me decide but I'm as up in the air about it as I have been. Even if I do decide to do it it wouldn't be til after I got back from Vegas and winter would at least be a great time to do it since its kinda miserable here anyway and I wouldn't miss much. I don't know yet but I'll keep you posted on my thoughts and I welcome feedback on the idea.

met with Condoleeza Rice and George Shultz at Stanford, in addition to the
silicon valley cast - Apple, Twitter, etc.
Medvedev: New technologies would open access
Jun 23, 11:20 PM EDT
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's daylong tour
of Silicon Valley Wednesday started with a "tweet" - his first - and ended
with a declaration of optimism that his country also would be able to
adopt a high-tech economy that would give everyone a chance to succeed.
Medvedev visited the high-tech capital as part of a U.S. tour that will
take him to Washington for meetings with President Barack Obama.
He said he wanted to "see with my own eyes the origins of success."
The president has said he wants to bring more high-tech innovation to
Russia's oil-dependent economy, and create the country's own Silicon
Valley outside Moscow.
"Russia is trying to become an open country," he said during a speech at
Stanford University, the last stop on his visit. "Open for investment, for
trade, for joint projects in any sector of public life, and of course in
The president has faced criticism that no matter how strong his desire to
bring new technologies, business and innovation into Russia, the country's
political and economic systems remain too corrupt for outsiders' comfort.
But on Wednesday, while acknowledging the challenges, he remained
confident that with the right partnerships and attitude, his country would
"In Russia, we have money, and in a number of cases, big money. But we
don't have Silicon Valley. That's why this money should be spent
correctly. It should be given to the right hands and there should be
correct rules," he said.
He was also bolstered by an announcement by Cisco Systems Inc. that it
would invest $1 billion over 10 years to help foster high-tech innovation
in Russia.
Medvedev kicked off his high-tech tour in a meeting with Evan Williams and
Biz Stone, the co-founders of Twitter, the popular microblogging site.
At Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, Medvedev set up a Twitter account
under the name "KremlinRussia" and sent his first tweet.
The debut was in Russian: "Hello everyone. I am now in Twitter, and this
is my first message."
During his speech, Medvedev listed 10 points he believes will pave the way
for Russia's success, including reforming the nation's health care and
education systems, and creating a more reliable court system and stronger
financial system.
His audience at Stanford included former Secretary of States George Shultz
and Condoleezza Rice, both fellows at the university's Hoover Institution.
In a private meeting before the speech with Shultz, Rice, Stanford Provost
John Etchemendy and others, Medvedev spoke candidly about some of the
challenges facing Russia.
He said Russia must try to combat the problem of so-called "brain drain"
when young minds leave the country for opportunities elsewhere.
"If young people encounter better conditions abroad, it means we failed to
do something and they leave. Our task is to make sure we are competitive,"
he said, according to quotes provided by the Stanford News Service, which
was given access to the meeting.
He also acknowledged a problem with getting investments.
"Unfortunately for us, venture capitalism is not going so well so far. No
one wants to run the risk. It's a problem of culture, as Steve Jobs told
me today. We need to change the mentality pattern on this," he said.
As part of his Silicon Valley tour, Medvedev met earlier Wednesday with
Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs in Cupertino.
In four months the Kremlin has lavished an "innograd" - or innovation city
- project with budget allocations of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Analysts have warned, however, that without genuine reform of Russia's
tremendous state machine, a mega-project like Skolkovo will be doomed.
Medvedev said, in the end, the project will depend on the will of the
people and businesses.
"If you are ready to help in this project, I'm sure it has all the chances
to be implemented," he said.
Earlier in the day, Medvedev met with Cisco CEO John Chambers at the
company's San Jose headquarters, where Cisco said it plans to establish a
physical presence in Skolkovo and set up a second global headquarters for
its emerging technologies group there.
"We're very honored to commit to your dream," Chambers said as the men
signed a memorandum of understanding, with California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger and other guests looking on.

"Double rainbow!" a passenger on the bus yelled. "Look to the left!" We were somewhere in the Hengduan Mountains that stretch across the western portion of China's Sichuan. Below us, twin kaleidoscopes of colour hung above a rushing gorge, hundreds of meters below.
The sight was a bright spot on what had thus far been a punishing journey through one of the world's most remote regions. Moments earlier, my fellow passengers and I had spent the better part of a half hour pulling our bus out of the mud with a rope attached to the bottom of the vehicle, more concerned about the driver toppling over the edge of the cliff than the rope's perpetual tendency to break and leave us covered in mud. The mishap would be the first of many similar incidences, a two-week journey of breakdowns, police barricades, constant delays, headaches and altitude-induced vomit-stained windows.
But that is the price of witnessing the haunting beauty of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, one of the world's most dangerous, highest and most punishing roads.
Most of the 4,000km-plus loop between the Sichuan capital Chengdu and the Tibetan capital Lhasa cuts through the former region of Kham, composed mainly of the present-day Tibetan Autonomous Region, as well as of parts of former Tibet that were annexed into mainland China from the 18th Century until the mid 20th century. With mishaps included, a bus ride between any two cities in this remote region can take long enough for passengers to watch the sun both rise and set over the surrounding peaks, but winding along the precarious roads at altitudes that reach nearly 5,000m rewards the intrepid traveller with sweeping mountain views, studded with stupas, prayer flags, monasteries, otherworldly rock formations – and perhaps the occasional double rainbow.
While the Tibetan government in exile still lays claim to Qinghai and Western Sichuan, the rest of Kham – virtually everything east of the Tibetan Autonomous Region – has officially been part of mainland China since the mid 20th century. Still, the area remains vastly ethnically and linguistically Tibetan, from the gold-roofed monasteries to the red-robed monks to the yak herds grazing in the foothills.
The Chinese government recently funded the construction of the world's highest airport in Daocheng, in southwest Sichuan, with hopes to increase tourism and help quell native Tibetan dissent. The airport, which opened in September, has cut the commute between Chengdu and Daocheng from a two-day bus ride to one-hour flight.
The airport has made it more convenient for travellers to experience Tibetan culture without the exasperating bureaucratic barriers necessary to get into Tibet, which are non-existent here: during a visit in summer 2011, I found a heightened government presence, but no restrictions, permit hassles or need to travel with a group. (Even so, be sure to check the situation before visiting as rules and restrictions can change without notice. Using a tour agency to plan also helps; the company China Highlights, for example, can provide customised itineraries to Sichuan-bound travellers.) Still, with little tourist infrastructure, extremely high altitudes and a considerable language and cultural barrier, travel here is far from easy.
The main attraction near Daocheng is the Yading Nature Reserve, about 140km south. Touted as "the last Shangri-La," Yading is a glacial lake-filled, alpine wonderland. But it's not only the natural beauty that draws visitors – the park is also home to monasteries, villages and visiting Tibetan pilgrims. The three holy peaks surrounding Yading have long attracted pilgrims doing a kora, or holy hike. The 30km kora around 6,032m-tall Chenresig Mountain offers incredible views of jagged snowcapped peaks, stone huts, and mountain sides festooned with prayer flags of every colour. For those uncomfortable with the trying hike at more than 4,000m, it's possible to take short day hikes or horse trips.

The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body.
Honestly? 135 on the bench. For some reason I'm constantly stuck there and it's really frustrating. Pretty much causes me to hate/dread bench press.
Trying not to die young.
This may be a bit of a surprise, but for me it is squatting heavy.
I have always had the strength but for some reason never felt comfortable with heavy squats. I remember there was a time when I hit 315 lbs x 20 but still had never done a 400 lbs squat. Recently I have hit 500 lbs for a few reps in just belt/knee sleeves and 405 lbs x 14 so I guess that I have broken down parts of that barrier. I still have never done a 1RM squat though since I have been lifting.

225 Bench. I box squatted 315 LONG before I even benched 180 for 2, I'm not built to bench at all - and I still don't really know how to bench!
Any max attempt. Seriously my big three are about 25lbs apart from my 5x max. Squatting heavy as well. Theres nothing like unracking a heavy bar only knowing that you have to bring it down in the hole and back up and repeat.
deadlifts are my biggest challenge, i see all the weight and it just freaks me out.

My biggest block was probably benching 315 the first time. I could do 300 a few times but just couldn't get up that 315, but eventually I just got over it and now I can do it for reps.
Mental blocks ... oh so many.
Bench press without a spotter or rack - dropped a bar on chest in youth.
Heavy squats under any circumstance.
Believing that 300/400/500 was the limit of what a normal guy like me can achieve. The closer I got to those numbers, the more I believed I was reaching my max potential. It was a mental barrier that I will soon be past

Just knowing the amount that's on the bar is a mental block. For instance, I know I can deadlift 405 lbs....and most likely if someone put 450 on the bar and told me it was 405 I could probably do it. But if I knew it was 450, I'd probably not be able to do it! That's the mental barrier I have with all my lifts. I have a "mental max", for all my lifts, so if someone were to load the bar with more then my "mental max" to trick me, I'd probably be able to move more weight....maybe not though, I dunno.
Also, heavy squatting scares the s*** out of me. I'm less intimidated by a moderately heavy set of 20 then a 1RM or even a 3RM or 5RM....I feel that there's so many things that can go wrong if my form isn't perfect (in fact, squats have kicked my a** many times before...nothing serious though...).
How to Find Your Dream Job
My personal blog/website dedicated to giving answers on the age old question - how to escape the "rat race". I now play guitar for a living!
The first was benching 225, it intimidated the hell out of me. Then it was 315. I've done 325, but 315 still intimidates me. I've got bad shoulders and have been trapped under the bar, so it still gets me because I'm really under the bar.
Every once in a while, I'll look at the weight on the bar and think to myself, "can I really squat this?". Then I get under it and do it and it's not so bad. It can be intimidating, though.
Give chalk a chance.
49 years old
665 squat
700 deadlift
325 bench
im with you on the power clean. when i used to clean 225+ any new 1rm attempts i would sit and rock the bar for a good 3 minutes and think way too much about perfect form and end up messing it up. just need to walk up, set, grip and fling. that or deep squat 1rm's would always get me thinking too much when i got in the hole and i would usually biff.

When I was first training it was kicking up 65lb dumbbells for shoulder presses. I just could not do it, week in and week out I would fail.... it got quite embarrassing.
Hitting a 300lb bench also ****ed with my head for awhile.

Tesla Model S Remote Control App for Android Wear: Now That's a Cutting Edge Phrase
Bnotions made an app that only a handful of people on Earth are capable of using. It's called Tesla Command, an app for Android Wear devices that lets the user toggle or activate some of the features on the Tesla Model S. It's not quite as functional as the official Tesla mobile apps, but if Android Wear devices become more common this could be a more convenient alternative. Also it'll make you look awesome.
Here's Tesla Command in action:
Tesla Command is available for free from the Google Play store. As I said, Tesla's official apps can do much more than Tesla Command, but Bnotions said on its Facebook page that it will keep adding functions to its app.

P.O.V. | Following Sean | Preview | PBS
Duration: 02:03
Program: POV #2007
Thirty years after making a celebrated student short about a four-year-old child of free spirits living in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district at the height of the 1960s, Ralph Arlyck attempts the kind of revelation only documentary film can provide.
In "Following Sean," airing on PBS's P.O.V. series on July 31, 2007, he goes in search of the impish, barefoot kid who delighted or horrified audiences, reflecting the hopes and fears of a turbulent, utopian era. In discovering what has become of Sean, Arlyck finds a complex reality — and experiences pure cinematic surprise. As the filmmaker comes to grips with his own midlife conflicts, "Following Sean" may reveal as much about Arlyck and his generation as it does his subject.

Report: Alleged Michael Jackson Abuse Victim Steps Forward
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
(Undated) -- Another man claiming to have been sexually abused by the late Michael Jackson is coming forward. "The Daily Beast" reports that James Safechuck has added his name as an alleged victim to the lawsuit originally filed by choreographer Wade Robson last year. Safechuck co-starred with the pop superstar in a Pepsi commercial back in 1987. He claims Jackson molested him for years starting at age ten. Now 36, Safechuck is being represented by the same Los Angeles law firm handling Robson's charges.
The site says Safechuck's name was brought up during Jackson's 2005 trial. Former employees of Jackson's Neverland Ranch had reportedly listed him among those who may have been victimized, but he denied being abused at the time. Next month marks the fifth anniversary of Jackson's death. "Xscape," a new album, featuring never-before-heard songs from the late pop star, arrives in stores this week.
