Speed and photo costs
New Canon and HP inkjet printers: new technologies
Vincent Alzieu
Published on September 4, 2006
Besides the original tactile monitor on the HP Photosmart D7360 (a topic of a future article), the main and almost only improvements for Canon and HP this year were for 4" x 6" printers. The stars of today´s article are the new Canon Pixma mini260 (169 euros) and the HP Photosmart A516 (149 euros). Many things are improved starting with the price, speed, and cost per photo.
Some of the marketing arguments proved to be very bold, even too bold. HP writes in big letters on the packaging that pictures are printed in 53 seconds and are water resistant. We tested these two particularities and filmed the result (the comments are in French but you won´t have a hard time understanding what happens). The water resistance video is in the Photosmart A516 section, the one for time in printing a photo is in the page entitled "Speed and photo costs". Click on the reading control in the center of the image to start the sequence.
New product lines are on their way
Printer manufacturers release less products than manufacturers of graphic cards, digital camera, monitors They only renew product lines once a year usually in September. Now more and more this is delayed. We used to know everything about them in July, but now only Canon and HP have unveiled their product early in August and Lexmark has just done it (08/21/06). Epson will come later with announcements in September, which doesn´t mean that they will be available at this date.
The evolution of the market continues: A4 mono function printers continue to lose market shares to multifunction and mini models devoted to small formats, for example 4" x 6". HP and Canon´s multifunctions remain almost unchanged and there are no major modifications. Separate cartridges are only meant for high end multifunctions for HP, while Canon slightly redesigned some products (bezel color) and really added only one printer, the MP510, without introducing any new technology. It has separate cartridges.
Lexmark comes back to more classical designs for its economical line. They dont have color monitors on the first products unveiled and are all priced under 150. This absence complicates the printing of photos in autonomous mode. They have, however, borrowed Brother´s idea of introducing a document loader in an affordable product, the X5470 and will be sold next month for 129.
The focus is on 4" x 6"s
There are many modifications for 4" x 6" printers, which are apparently the new favourites for manufacturers. In the list of improvements two were of importance to us: reducing the staggering cost of these small peripherals and considerably improving the quality of ink jet photos. Lexmark doesn´t have a substitute for the small P450 yet. But the good news is that Canon and HP have made real progress in the above areas.
They both changed cartridges, so it opened the way to all types of modifications such as print rates, sharpness, color quality. Oh well, if there are more and more models in stores. We could play the devils advocate and wonder if behind all of this manufacturers arent looking for a way to inundate stores with models to get rid of compatible cartridges.

DIY: Halloween Mask
You've dressed the little ones and have gotten the shoes, the costume, and the accessories but what about you? Here is a quick and easy Halloween Mask that you can easily make and you suddenly are transformed. It's also an easy way to get in the spirit as you walk around the neighborhood with the kids. It's really easy to make but it will look like you spent forever making it.
Here's what you'll need:
- Black mask – you can find these at Michael's
- Butterflies – found in the floral section at Michael's and they come in different colors and sizes.
- Feathers – I found this at Michael's too in the section where they have the mask
- Orange Stick-on Rhinestones – I found these at Target in the Craft section
- Glue Gun
- Black Duck Tape (or any color you have)
- Scissors
1.) Start off with the black mask and take the butterflies and arrange and use the small pieces of the duck tape to apply and stick them down to the back of the mask. I used about 4 of the butterflies for the mask. The butterflies I purchased were on long wires. I just cut those down with scissors to different lengths to make them work for the mask. I'll share what I used the rest of the butterflies for tomorrow.
2.) Once the butterflies are arranged take the feathers and arrange to one side around the eye and glue down using the hot glue gun. Let Dry.
3.) Then take the rhinestones and position around the eyes. I used about 11 rhinestones for each eye.
4.) You now have a very fun and festive mask for Halloween. All you need now is a pair of butterfly wings.
Happy Halloween everyone! I'll share a picture soon of my complete assemble for Halloween which includes this mask.

So the 'Las Malvinas/Falkland Islands' issue rears its ugly head again. The politicians are back barking at each other with David Cameron somewhat amusingly accusing the Argentineans of 'colonialism' which may well be the most classic case of 'pot calling kettle black' in recent times. How much of this relates to the very attractive possibility of rich natural resources being discovered down there and how much to the tragic war is anyone's guess but what we do know is that all the islanders really want is to be left alone and to continue to attract much needed tourism.
The islands are a natural paradise for wildlife lovers and photographers and, indeed, anyone looking for a complete wilderness experience. You will enjoy mother nature here like nowhere else on earth - and without having to cross the treacherous Southern Ocean or take malaria tablets. You will find yourself usually alone amongst a hundred penguins or elephant seals with only the ever constant wind to keep you company. A truly magical experience.
If however budget does not allow you to travel to these special islands then how about Argentina itself? We have a number of new trips here this year, many exciting overland expeditions linking the west coast of South America with the east and, yes, taking in the odd penguin colony en route ('colonialism' of a different sort Mr Cameron). We even have a trip finishing at Ushuaia which would allow you to hop on a cruise to the Falklands and combine both countries in one unforgettable adventure holiday. Keeping both Argentines and Brits happy.....
Our tailor made adventure holidays will truly inspire and delight the senses and will live in your memory for ever.
Join us on one of our worldwide adventures coming up over the next few months – all guaranteed to depart, all at up to 20% off.

- Napoléon Cognac
- Martell Noblige Cognac
Martell Noblige Napoleon is a reference when it comes to quality cognac. This 70cl bottle reveals a great blend, aged in Troncais barrels.The bottle itself is elegant andcontemporary -a signature of the founder can be found on the label. You can buy this Martell bottle online at a price of $62.
Age | Growth Area (Cru) | Bottle | ABV |
Napoléon | Blend | 700 ml | 40% |
Tasting notes
Nobliges color is dark copper, on the nose some fresh and fruity notes, slight hints of dry fruits and oak. The taste is dominated by floral aromas, some vanilla and nuts. The blend is influenced by Borderies eaux-de-vie and the ageing process in "noble" Troncais casks. The aftertaste is smooth and long at the same time, of course you would not want to mix this fine cognac with anything else.

Recent Comments about this Cognac
Add Comment1.) Martell and cognac houses in general raised prices on their products due to the limited amount and their need of growth. Especially Martell is very succesful with this, as they make a lot of profit via value, rather than mass.
2.) Noblige is a Cognac that is positioned (price and quality) between a VSOP, sort of a Premium VSOP and a Napoleon cognac.

Ive just found there website it looks good sum decent head of fish in newbride will definetly be giving that one a try.
As regards to Tyram hall i went last year and they had a day ticket water and also the syndicate.
Biggest i had out of day ticket was a 22lb.5oz. Id heard that theyd put all the fish out of the day ticket into the syndicate but did not no if this was true. By the looks of the pictures inside the cabin the syndicate does produce some big fish. Go and ask the bayliffs there bery helpful.

This haunting, well-crafted novella opens as Jake, 11, raises his little brother, Edward. He reads to him, teaches him how to use the bathroom and, most importantly, teaches him the rules of baseball. Years pass. Edward grows up to be an unusually articulate child with a knack for seeing signs in the world around him.
At eight, he predicts that his mother will have another daughter named Sabine, and she does. Edward dotes on Sabine, and he promises to raise her the way Jake raised him. And to teach her how to throw a knuckleball.
Things take a dramatic turn when Edward dies in a biking accident. Jake becomes outraged when his mother tells him she donated Edward's eyes, his corneas, after his death. However, when a note comes from the recipient of the eyes, thanking the family and inviting them to a baseball game, Jake starts to come around. The epilogue returns to the present day (as first presented in the prologue) where Edward and his family watch Willie (who now has Edward's eyes) play in a minor league baseball game.
Although the author relies heavily on cliches, her beautiful use of language and strongly-felt characters make this well worth the hour it takes to read.
Audiobook Note: Milo Ventimiglia (TV and movie actor) does an excellent job conveying the mood and emotion of the book.

Although the past decade has seen an upsurge of interest in ideas of public participation and democratisation, relatively little is known about the nature of voluntary activism.This article draws on interview data collected within the Labour Party, Amnesty International, tenants' and residents' associations, and the Exodus collective in order to examine the nature of voluntary participation within the UK. Using the work of Habermas and theorists of social capital, we argue that the data calls into question the potential within civil society for the development of deliberative tendencies.

March 18, 2013 –On Saturday, March 9, over 420 parents, faculty and staff, alumni and friends gathered for our annual community celebration, SAAS in the City, at Fremont Studios. The sold-out crowd enjoyed a delicious catered dinner by Kaspars, a wine grab and raffle, and inspiring student performances. See photo and video gallery below!
The evening raised over $155,000 for our Faculty Professional Development fund, far exceeding the $125,000 goal. A huge thank you to the event co-chairs Leslie Olson (Annalise '09 and Corinne '17) and Lene Sangster (Malcolm '11 and Stella '15) as well as the 100+ volunteers who donated their time and energy to the success of the evening. Special thanks to Matt and Kristine Sweeney (Caroline '14) who delivered a heartfelt and compelling call for contributions.
The evening's formal program began with the E Block Band, playing Van Morrison's "Moondance" and was followed by the full cast (45+ strong!) of the Middle School musical "13." Slideshows of the school's Athletic and Outdoor Programs were partnered with stellar performances by Advanced Dance, "Hands in the Air," and Sophie Larsen '18, who performed "Both Sides Now." The Onions accompanied a Seattle Challenge slideshow (documenting the SAAS 8th graders' annual urban trek just days before) with the Beatles song, "In My Life," and then closed the evening with a spirited version of "Sing, Sing, Sing."
Highlighting the evening were seven Seattle Academy alumni, gathered from across the country, who introduced each segment of the program and shared the impact of the SAAS educational experience on their adult lives. Below is a profile of each alum.
- Alana Bell '03 joined Seattle Academy in 1997 as a 7th grader. She attended Columbia College Chicago, and returned to Seattle to act as Education Coordinator for the non-profit mentoring program, Girls Inside Out. Alana is the 6th Grade Coordinator and Asst. Director of Diversity here at Seattle Academy. In the latter role she runs the Middle School diversity club, Four Corners, which engages students in discussions around the ever-changing notion of identity. Alana also involves students in opportunities to learn through service and has strengthened key partnerships with organizations such as Lifelong AIDS Alliance, Capitol Hill Housing, and Jewish Family Services.
- Makenzie Brandon '09 is a Kinesiology major at Occidental College. As a member of the Occidental women's basketball team, she has been recognized twice as the Conference Player of the Year, been placed on First-Team all West Region, received a National-Scholar Athlete Award, and was honored as a pre-season All-American. Makenzie also volunteers with InsideOUT Writers, facilitating creative writing and life skills workshops for previously incarcerated young adults. After graduation she plans to pursue a career in public/global health.
- Christian Chisholm '06 graduated from Yale University in 2010 with a B.A. in Military History. He spent the last three years managing an e-commerce company in Los Angeles. While there, he performed regularly with local comedy troupes including Second City, the Groundlings, and the Upright Citizens Brigade. In February, Christian realized that he liked telling jokes more than he liked selling industrial supplies over the Internet, so he quit his job, moved into a considerably smaller apartment, and started following Tony Robbins on Twitter.
- Quinton Dowling '05 graduated summa cum laude from the College of Idaho in 2009 with a degree in Biology, with honors, and Chemistry. He works as a Process Development Specialist at the Infectious Disease Research Center in Seattle developing safe, potent, and low cost prophylactics for diseases of poverty. Specifically, he is responsible for the physical and chemical characterization, stability testing, and compatibility testing of vaccines in the research and development phase. He is also the President of the SAAS Alumni Board.
- Marcus Petitt '09 is a senior at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He is pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Industry Studies with a minor in Business Entrepreneurship. Marcus has received high academic honors and was recently nominated for the annual Student Recognition Awards by USC faculty and staff. Marcus also directs two music ensembles and works as a senior student assistant with the Division of Contemporary Music at the Thornton School of Music. Upon graduation, Marcus hopes to continue performing while working in concert production and management.
- Claire Mauksch '07 graduated from Tufts University in 2011, summa cum laude and with highest thesis honors. She majored in History, minored in Political Science, and studied a year at Oxford University. She works as an investigator at Brooklyn Defender Services, and covers misdemeanors and felonies ranging from trespass cases to attempted murders. In her spare time, Claire enjoys running (she's a proud 2011 Boston Marathon finisher), cooking, traveling, and the theater. She will begin law school this fall.
- Yurij Rudensky '03 graduated from Yale University in 2007, is a third year law student at the University of Washington, and a William H. Gates Public Service Law Scholarship recipient. This summer he will clerk for Justice Steven Gonzalez on the Washington State Supreme Court. Although Yurij has worked on a variety of legal issues, his primary interest is in campaign finance reform and voting rights. Prior to law school, Yurij was the program manager of the Housing Justice Project. Yurij rowed for Yale and the Green Lake Crew and has medaled in four national championships.
Thank you to everyone who attended SAAS in the City and helped to make the evening such a huge success!!

Must Have Books for Early Childhood Educators
Here is a list of some of my favorite teacher resource books. You may want to add these to your own professional library as you are able. If you can't afford a lot of books, check them out from your professional library at your school or on your campus. You won't regret making the investment in your future as an educator. If you can only afford one book, then I recommend Creative Resources for the Early Childhood Classroom. It is expensive but for each theme it tells what vocabulary words you need to cover and the definition, exactly what to put and do in centers and gives you a list of books to read. All of the subject areas are thoroughly covered. But, it doesn't have worksheets so be warned if you are a whole group, worksheet driven type teacher.
I recommend the following books if you are on a tight budget and just need some
content area
books to get you started for the year:
1. Daily Skills Practice ( divided by grade level; math and language arts warm ups for every day)
2. Draw Write Now Books ( buy 1 at a time; handwriting, language arts, social studies, science)
3. Month by Month Phonics for (your grade level)
4. Science Poems and Songs for Young Learners
5. Social Studies K-1
If you are on a super,duper tight budget then I recommend the following 3 books:
1. First Grade (or whatever grade level you are teaching) in Photographs
2. Classroom Management in Photographs
3. Literacy Workstations (Debbie Diller is awesome!!!)

Walker and Walsh Save Sea Turtles and Great White Sharks
It's no secret that quite a few celebs use their fame for more than just freebies and self-important tantrums (take note, Naomi Campbell). Today we highlight two actors who are working on behalf of the endangered species of our oceans.
Actress Kate Walsh recently traveled to St. Croix's Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge to film a PSA for Oceana about the threat of extinction for sea turtles. It turns out that all six species of turtles who call the US home are in danger of extinction. And since they're a crucial aspect of the ecosystem (not to mention incredible creatures who've lived in our seas for 100+ million years), letting them disappear is not an option. Check out Oceana's Web site to virtually adopt a turtle for as little as $35 and help Kate Get Sea Turtles Off the Hook.
Sea turtles are too herbivorous and cuddly for actor Paul Walker, who was a marine biologist before he got Fast and Furious. His animal of choice is a little grizzlier. Ok, a lot grizzlier. He joined National Geographic on an expedition to personally greet great white sharks. And not just greet. The goal is to actually catch one, lift it onto the boat, tag it, collect DNA samples, and release it unharmed. Oh yeah, and not get eaten. All for the sake of uncovering the secrets of these incredibly misunderstood carnivores. Do they manage it? Check out National Geographic's Expedition Great White on November 16.

Protecting credit unions and the consumers who own them through effective regulation
The mission of the NCUA is to facilitate the availability of credit union services to all eligible consumers, especially those of modest means, through a safe and sound credit union system.
In this section, you can find credit unions and research general and financial information. Other statistics, data, and reports include the archived Quarterly Call Reports, Financial Performance Reports, and Share Insurance Queries.
Find and research specific credit unions; locate educational resources on financial literacy, privacy, and identity protection; and read about the regulations that govern credit unions and corporate credit unions.
This section details the laws and regulations that govern NCUA-insured credit unions. Here you can access current and proposed regulations, regulatory alerts and policy statements, as well as guides, manuals and forms.

Home > News, Media and Events > NCUA Sues J.P. Morgan and Bear, Stearns over $3.6 Billion in Faulty Securities
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Dec. 17, 2012) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has filed suit in Federal District Court in Kansas against J.P. Morgan Securities and Bear, Stearns & Co., alleging violations of federal and state securities laws in the sale of $3.6 billion in mortgage-backed securities to four corporate credit unions.
NCUA's suit—the largest the agency has filed to date—alleges Bear, Stearns & Co. made misrepresentations in connection with the underwriting and subsequent sale of mortgage-backed securities to U.S. Central, Western Corporate, Southwest Corporate and Members United Corporate federal credit unions.
All four corporate credit unions became insolvent and were subsequently placed into NCUA conservatorship and liquidated as a result of losses from these faulty securities. These failures caused significant losses to the credit union system. J.P. Morgan Securities purchased Bear, Stearns & Co. in 2008, after the demise of Bear, Stearns & Co.
"Bear, Stearns was one of several Wall Street firms that sold faulty securities to corporate credit unions, leading to their collapse and enormous losses across the industry," said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz. "Firms like Bear, Stearns acted unfairly by ignoring the rules for underwriting. They packaged these securities and then told buyers the paper was sound. When the securities plunged in value, we learned the truth. NCUA is now working to hold these underwriters accountable and secure recoveries on behalf of federally insured credit unions."
The complaint alleges Bear, Stearns & Co. made numerous misrepresentations and omissions of material facts in the offering documents of the securities sold to the failed corporate credit unions. The complaint states underwriting guidelines in the offering documents were "abandoned" and the misrepresentations caused the credit unions to believe the risk of loss was minimal. In fact, these securities were "significantly riskier than represented" and "routinely overvalued." The faulty securities, the complaint states, "were destined from inception to perform poorly."
NCUA has eight similar actions pending against Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Securities, RBS Securities, UBS Securities, and Wachovia.
NCUA was the first federal regulatory agency for depository institutions to recover losses from investments in faulty securities on behalf of failed financial institutions. To date, the agency has settled claims worth more than $170 million with Citigroup, Deutsche Bank Securities and HSBC.
Recoveries from these legal actions will further reduce the total losses resulting from the failure of the four corporate credit unions. Losses from those failures must be paid from the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund. Expenditures from this fund must be repaid through assessments against all federally insured credit unions, so any recoveries would help reduce future assessments on credit unions.
As liquidating agent for the four corporate credit unions, NCUA has a statutory duty to seek recoveries from responsible parties in order to minimize the cost of any failure to its insurance funds and the credit union industry.
"NCUA and credit unions have successfully worked together to restore stability to the credit union system," Matz said. "Now we are holding responsible parties like Bear, Stearns accountable for their actions. It's the right thing to do."
Corporate credit unions are wholesale credit unions that provide various services to retail credit unions, which in turn serve consumers, or "natural persons." Retail credit unions rely on corporate credit unions to provide them such services as check clearing, electronic payments, and investments.
The complaint is available on NCUA's website here.
NCUA is the independent federal agency created by the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise federal credit unions. With the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates and manages the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 99 million account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions. At MyCreditUnion.gov and Pocket Cents, NCUA also educates the public on consumer protection and financial literacy issues.

Quesadillas, Revamped
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, May 28, 2012
Not a week goes by when we don't have quesadillas in our house. Breakfast, lunch or dinner – quesadillas are perfect for kids, parents, grandparents and friends because you can slap whatever you want between two tortillas and enjoy a mouth-watering, cheesy treat in minutes.
I cook quesadillas at home all the time, but we also order them out a lot, so I decided to check the stats. I wish I didn't. Depending on where you dine, one quesadilla can have almost 1,500 calories, more than 100 grams of fat and 2 days worth of salt. And that's without the side of sour cream. What are they putting in there, pork rinds? Flour tortillas are almost fat free so it's the filling that sends numbers soaring. I was seriously shocked. And if you eat quesadillas regularly, you know that you often eat something ELSE with them. Read it and weep:
Restaurant Quesadilla
Nutrition Info Per Serving (1 quesadilla – range in numbers reflects different restaurants)
Calories: 543-1480
Total Fat: 26-103 grams
Saturated Fat: 14-39 grams
Total Carbohydrate: 51-72 grams
Sugars: 0-1 gram
Protein: 22-73 grams
Sodium: 1177-3300 milligrams
Cholesterol: around 60 (some restaurants did not list cholesterol)
Fiber: 2-4 grams
I decided to create a quesadilla to rival any restaurant version. Gooey pepper jack cheese, sweet and smoky roasted red peppers, red onion and cilantro, nestled between two tortillas and cooked to melted perfection. And my recipe is just a start; consider adding more vegetables, grilled chicken or even scrambled egg whites for a breakfast feast.
Quesadillas With Roasted Red Peppers, Pepper Jack and Cilantro
I used white flour tortillas because they're my family's favorite. Feel free to use your favorite tortilla variety.
Cooking spray
8 flour tortillas (regular, whole wheat, low-carb or whole-grain)
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (2 ounces)
1/2 cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Coat a stove-top griddle, grill pan or large skillet with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
Arrange four of the tortillas on a flat surface. Top tortillas with cheese, peppers, onion and cilantro. Top with second tortilla. Place quesadillas on hot pan and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts.
Cut quesadillas into four wedges each and serve.

ABC News' David Chalian Reports: Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is not willing (just yet) to take the leap herself, but she is certain that the recently appointed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will have a primary fight on her hands next year. "Oh, I am sure she will face a Democratic primary," Rep. Maloney told us on ABC News' "Top Line" today. "A number of my colleagues have indicated that they will be announcing soon. Scott Stringer, a very capable Manhattan Borough President has already announced. Steve Israel, the blogs say he's announcing today or tomorrow . . . Carolyn McCarthy has said that if no one runs she will definitely run because she's so disturbed about the flip-flopping on gun control, her major signature issue, and there are a number of other people that have thrown their hat in the ring," she said. "So, one thing is certain — there will be a primary," added Rep. Maloney without offering up herself as one of the potential challengers, as is widely expected to be the case. New York's senior Senator, Chuck Schumer, has made clear that he is backing Sen. Gillibrand in her 2010 campaign and reportedly predicted, perhaps jokingly, there would be no Democratic primary competition. The combination of Sen. Gillibrand's moderate views in a primary process dominated by voters in the more liberal New York City area and her appointment from a governor hovering at 19 percent approval makes her an appealing target for some ambitious New York Democrats who had originally hoped they would have been appointed to fill Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's seat in the senate. Rep. Maloney also made sure to tout her credit card reform legislation that recently passed the House by a wide margin and is set to be up for a vote in the Senate as soon as this week. "It's so important, not only to stabilize our financial markets and help our financial institutions, but help the people on all the streets of America with fair practices. The Federal Reserve has called these practices unfair, deceptive, and anti-competitive. We should've ended them long ago," said Maloney. "I am thrilled that with the present support momentum is there. I am sure we will pass it in the Senate and hopefully have it to his desk before the Memorial Day." And don't miss Talking Points Memo's Matt Cooper and Politico's Anne Schroeder Mullins' takes on the presidential comedy on display at the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner last Saturday.

Broadly Sympatico Links
No particular rhyme or reason to the following sites – except that they tend to be (a) the pages I consult most often, and (b) slightly offbeat. (If you need my site to tell you where The New York Times is, you should get out more.) The usual proviso about a link not automatically constituting an endorsement applies here, in spades. Many of these sites I look up from pure enjoyment, many from work necessity, some through mild interest. You work out which is which.
Current Affairs (USA)
- The American Conservative: No way known to man that this was going to escape a position at the top of the list. Even if it didn't come near the start of the alphabet, which it does. Few are the mags which a writer would still cherish even if they were indifferent, or hostile, towards his work. The American Conservative is among the few. Being published there, and rather handsomely paid to boot, is a bonus.
- Chronicles: The second US mag ever to publish my work (The American Spectator was the first). Famous for more or less reinventing Southern Agrarianism in our time. Rare among literary journals in that it insists on all its poets being able to rhyme, scan, and make sense. Amazing.
- The New Criterion: The third US mag ever to publish my work. Now available in Australia (mostly at Borders'). Perhaps better known to antipodeans than either of the two preceding mags. Has a much greater knack for choosing books worth reviewing than many a more pretentious American periodical.
- VDARE: Brainchild of finance journalist Peter Brimelow, whose impressive books include Alien Nation and The Worm in the Apple. For years, VDARE (a magazine that just happens to be online instead of in print form) stood almost alone in questioning the multicultural / mass-immigration orthodoxy to which George W. Bush, as least as much as any pre-9/11 Democrat leader, is shamelessly enslaved. Routinely publishes pieces on non-American topics; and has helped, by periodically commissioning work from me, to pay my own bills. Makes efficacious use of the Net medium, which by its very nature encourages short sharp paragraphs, plentiful bullet-points, and lots of hyperlinks, rather than leisurely thumb-sucking pseudo-profound discourses about nothing much.
Current Affairs (Britain and Europe)
- Rivarol: A lot of this is rather too ideologically hard-core even for me, who am by no means squeamish about my political reading. Inevitably, even in the milder features there's so much which deals with purely French internal administration, as to be almost meaningless outside France. Still, you may find yourself (especially after, for example, yet another prominent Dutchman has been butchered for political incorrectness) in occasional need of sulphurously xenophobic Gauls, in which case, look no further. Actually Le Spectacle du Monde, a monthly, is much more agreeable all around, though politically somewhat similar. But its Web presence appears to be nonexistent, save for a few links telling you how to buy it.
- The Quarterly Review: A quirky and understated little magazine which has a genuine breadth of vision, and a good supply of serious articles on subjects that mostly haven't been done to death elsewhere. Based in Sudbury, Suffolk; perhaps this is the reason for its success in avoiding London-based narcissism.
Current Affairs (Australia)
- National Observer: Soft-spoken Melbourne-based quarterly (hitherto entitled Australia and World Affairs) more influential than its circulation and low profile might lead people to expect. Useful and substantial articles – 4,000-5,000 words, many of them – on political and cultural trends, whether in Australia or overseas; plenty of footnotes (hurrah). The publication's clean, austere appearance gives a good idea of its contents. Chooses with rare perspicacity the books it reviews, large numbers of which are otherwise completely ignored in Australian periodicals. Deserves greater media attention than it receives.
Interesting Websites By Individuals
- Dispatches from the Hogtown Front: From Canada, like the Kevin Michael Grace website mentioned below. (Hogtown, in case you shared my own puzzlement as to what it might be, is Toronto.) Blogger Michael Monastyrskyj, familiar to VDARE readers, is slightly less ferocious in tone than KMG. But in the short time his blog has existed, he's already acquired an eye-popping collection of grotesque reports, all unimpeachably accurate it would seem, about multiculti/PC horrors in the land which gave us Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien.
- The James Franklin Website: Meet Associate Professor Franklin, from the University of New South Wales' School of Mathematics. The man who put the discipline back into "interdisciplinary." Author of two especially valuable recent books: Corrupting the Youth and The Science of Conjecture. Both show a fascinating blend of erudition, lucid prose, and intellectual originality always grounded in hard evidence. The breathtaking range of subjects treated in his published articles (many of which are also available at the site) can be gleaned by glancing at representative titles: "Catholics versus Masons", "How a Neural Net Grows Symbols", "The Sokal Hoax and Postmodernist Embarrassment". Nothing human seems alien to him, unless you count Foucaultians as human. The jury is still out on that last question.
- The Kevin Michael Grace Website: Joseph de Maistre is alive and well and living in ... British Columbia!?!? Yep, that's as good a method as any of describing Kevin Michael Grace, a bracing reactionary whose output I discovered when I became (presumably) the sole occasional antipodean purchaser of the glossy, and very expensive – hence unsubscribable-to – Alberta Report. Alas, this mag has gone the way of all flesh, but Mr Grace has his own website now, quite exceptionally unpredictable in its range of topics. On what other blog will you find a Portuguese poet called Manuel Bocage (flatteringly left unidentified), not to mention Vilfredo Pareto (through the conduit of James Burnham's analysis), some untranslated German verse by Eduard Mörike (d. 1875), and Glenn Gould's pianism (which he detests)? Curiously addictive. Fortunately the financial problems which threatened to silence his blog (and him) some months back have now, it appears, eased.
- The A. C. Kleinheider Website: This beguilingly ornery Tennessean possesses one of the most original prose styles, surely, in cyberspace. A strange mixture of Stonewall Jackson and Tobacco Road. I can't better the descriptions of Kleinheider quoted, on his site, by other bloggers: "A.C. Kleinheider is a gentleman and a scoundrel. He is a perfect reactionary yet also bold enough to pioneer a new mode of expression that I shall call 'post-irony.' See his appropriation of ghetto quips. He deals bons mots, smackdowns, and verbal pugilism generally. Cocaine too [I think those last two words are meant to be a joke - RJS]"; and "Kleinheider remains the smartest, most insightful person I read who is regularly utterly wrong." Judge for yourselves, y'all, and pass the Jack Daniels.
- The Sophie Masson Website: Surveying mankind from China to Peru, Mlle Masson (now living in Invergowrie, New South Wales) is one of the most astonishingly prolific novelists and essayists now active, in Australia or anywhere else. How does she do it? That is, produce fiction and commentary at such a rapid rate, without compromising her standards and without losing her freshness of outlook? Not sure, but her method (whatever it is) obviously pleases Random House and Germany's Droemer Verlag, to name only two of her publishers.
- The Marty Nemko Website: A career adviser with a difference. Instead of giving his audiences soft soap, he asks (despite being based in California) harsh questions. He mocks all the most cherished platitudes of career psychobabble, notably the whole self-esteem racket, which inspires some of his most withering prose: "Many people would be more successful if they lowered their self-esteem. American students score near the bottom among industrialised nations, but have the highest self-esteem ... Within the United States, African-American achievement is below average, but they have above-average self-esteem. These are not coincidences." That's from his book Cool Careers For Dummies. Do look up, also, his lethal onslaught upon self-help gurus, and his delightful evisceration of the "glass-ceiling" myth. Contra-suggestible and pugnacious, Nemko purveys tough love in a field full of oleaginous frauds.
- OzConservative: Australian contributions to the blogosphere are mostly dismal things, unless you like village-atheist assumptions unexamined since about 1965, assertions posing as arguments, and lashings of four-letter words. (The four-letter word department's all-time local champion: Tim Blair, who referred to an opponent as "the f**king dumbest dumb f**k of them all".) But OzConservative looks good. Mark Richardson, previously unknown to me, lives in Melbourne. Clearly he is literate, has brains, and has courage. He provides a link to The Independent Australian, a new magazine – also Melbourne-based – which may be worth buying. (Its Web presence to date is limited; I've not seen it in newsagents; and while it's listed by one Melbourne library, it's not actually stocked there). With luck, The Independent Australian can avoid the disastrous decisions which have doomed so many antipodean predecessors: repetitiveness; unauthorised copying of overseas models (an especially foolish gambit, given today's near-universal Net access); the refusal to pay authors or to copy-edit; a mania for accepting submissions WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS ...
- The Fred Reed Website: For those who like outrageousness combined with genuine wit and adult insight, Fred Reed (erstwhile Marine and Vietnam veteran now living in Guadalajara, Mexico) is the Hunter S. Thompson that Hunter S. Thompson should've been. This site gives the original versions of numerous columns which, in their magazine incarnations, are usually shorter and not always as effective. Any author who can, like Reed, describe Oprah as "500 pounds of bear liver in a plastic bag" has got my vote. Emphatically recommended: the site's gift store, devoted to such treasures as beer-mugs proselytising for "The Church of Fred (Not Just Another Religion)."
- The Steve Sailer Website: Another polymath, this time in America. His movie reviews mostly appear in The American Conservative; his articles on immigration, mostly in VDARE. He seems to spend every day and night at the keyboard, judging by his prodigious output. Like Mlle Masson in this respect if in no other, he is remarkably skilled at avoiding repetition. I defy anybody to resist one recent Sailer intro: "Possibly the most prominent American female economist today is Deirdre McCloskey – who, perhaps not coincidentally, used to be the prominent American male economist Donald McCloskey."
- Taki's Top Drawer: Yes, the Taki, of Spectator fame (his columns are among the poor old Speccy's few readable sections these days) and latterly of The American Conservative fame. In which last capacity, he long countersigned most of my pay-cheques, so naturally I'm not going to say nasty things about him, even if I somehow wanted to. Anyhow, here is The Poor Little Greek Theodoracopulos Boy in bulk. (I especially enjoy his capsule autobiography, where he says he was educated in Pentonville Prison.) Interesting that his American Conservative articles are consistently more polite than his kick-'em-in-the-groin philippics for other mags.
- Theodore's Royalty and Monarchy Site: As far as I can tell, this clearing-house for matters monarchical is unique on the Net in its scope and breadth. Don't expect bells-and-whistles graphics (a waste of time on most non-broadband computers anyhow), just solid hard work, lucidly presented. The site's maintained, and was devised, by Theodore Harvey. Unable and unwilling myself to keep squaring the circle of passionately defending the Windsors and trying to be some sort of Catholic, I nevertheless greatly respect the unselfish dedication shown by projects like this one. When not at his computer, Mr Harvey plays the cello in North Carolina's Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. He was born only in 1978. How dare anyone so young be allowed to have a brain?!?!?
Music Websites
- Chandos Records: Outstanding in particular for its encyclopædic coverage of British music – John Ireland, Sir Arnold Bax, Sir William Walton, etc. – and for the stunningly sumptuous orchestral sound which is its aural trademark, Chandos continues to enrich the CD world, although (like nearly every other record company) it has cut back on its release rate since the heady era of the 1990s. I can't understand why it wastes time and money on recording operatic performances in English translations. By doing so, it thumbs its nose at the whole market of Continental Europe. Yet everything else about Chandos spells a class act.
- Gimell Recordings: Everyone who reveres superlative choral singing should know about this CD label, founded by conductor (and erstwhile Spectator columnist) Peter Phillips as a showcase for his Tallis Scholars. All Gimell discs are sung, recorded and annotated with loving care. Perhaps one day Gimell will issue a genuinely bad CD, but it isn't looking probable.
- Hyperion Records: Another excellent one-man CD firm which has enlarged our understanding of choral repertoire, solo vocal repertoire (the complete Schubert Lieder edition, for instance), chamber repertoire, and to a lesser extent orchestral repertoire. Recently it suffered from an absurd British court ruling (against which its appeal failed) that seems designed to send all boutique labels bankrupt. All the more reason to support this valiant and life-enhancing enterprise with our wallets.
- The Organ Historical Society: For us organists, this is indeed (as the site proclaims) "pipe organ heaven." Based in Richmond, Virginia, the Society has a gigantic collection of organ-related sheet music, CDs, and books for sale. If you actually join the Society you get discounts, but most of the merchandise is such good value to start with that the members-only price reductions seldom amount to a lot.
- The Pietro Mascagni Website: The one-stop shop, as Americans would say, for matters Mascagnian. Cavalleria Rusticana's composer wrote far more than just that torrid 1890 operatic masterpiece. This site hits you over the head with the details of how much more. Good selection of pix as well.
- The Sergei Rachmaninoff Website: Most handsomely designed, with appropriate music audible. How typical of the mean-spirited denigration which has so often followed Rachmaninoff around, that it should've taken till 1990 for the Rachmaninoff Society to be formed. Anyway, here it is, with one of today's greatest Rachmaninoff pianists - Vladimir Ashkenazy - as its patron. See also my own recent bouquet offered at Rachmaninoff's tomb.
- The Max Reger Website : Who'd have thought there were enough besotted fans of this fairly obscure German composer (1873-1916), vaguely Chestertonian yet dyspeptic in appearance, to warrant an elaborate website for him? Find out more about Max Reger than you ever thought it possible to know.
- The Ottorino Respighi Website: Home page of the UK's Respighi Society. At last, the most underrated of 20th-century Italian composers (no, make that the most underrated of 20th-century composers from anywhere) gets his cyberspatial due. Lots of useful links, and anyone who ends up wanting to join the Society can do that online also.
- The Louis Spohr Website: Home page for the Spohr Society of Great Britain. Good to see this sadly neglected yet eminent German composer (1784-1859) being paid lavish homage. In his own day, and long afterwards, many considered him equal or superior to Beethoven. Nobody now would ascribe to him that cosmic level of genius; but even I have heard enough CDs of Spohr's music to perceive something of his great creative gifts. Oddity: at 6'7", he must have been about the tallest major musician who ever lived, no?
- The Richard Strauss Website: Originally I had a different link here, to a German site which was very much a work-in-progress. But in December 2005 I found an Austrian site - with plenty of English-language material - which surpasses the German one in every respect. Almost overwhelmingly comprehensive, but very clearly designed, so there's no danger of getting lost. There's a welcoming message from the composer's two grandsons, Richard Junior and Christoph. Why not test your level of Strauss knowledge (and, if you're lucky, win a prize) by doing the online quiz?
Religious Websites
("Tradition is the democracy of the dead." - Chesterton)- International Una Voce: This organisation is one of the best-known and longest-standing defenders of the Tridentine Latin Mass, which (as St Pius V put it in 1570) every priest "in every land and for all time" may licitly offer. A very handsome website, unusually easy to use, with a genuinely global focus and some splendid graphics.
- The Pius XII Website: Aims to rescue the memory of this great pope from the calumnies of historical illiterates out for a fast buck, and of their "Catholic" enablers. Includes extracts from the work of Pius's recent biographer, Sister Margherita Marchione. One particularly haunting comment from the Pontiff bears citation: "The day the Church abandons her universal tongue [Latin] is the day before she returns to the catacombs."
- The Remnant: Fortnightly, outspoken, and well written magazine (based in St Paul, Minnesota) which passionately defends the Tridentine Latin Mass and works tirelessly for its restoration throughout the Catholic Church. Is unaligned to any particular Catholic group. No-one could accuse it of pulling punches, and yet it is determined to avoid the crankish (who are apt to infest traditional Catholicism, and who are repeatedly reprehended by editor Michael Matt). Incorporates an online bookstore.
- The St Gregory Society: Less renowned than Una Voce, but still does very valuable work (from its headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut) arranging for priests to offer Latin Masses, and also issuing recordings to an impressively high standard. The other products of its online gift shop, including calendars and greeting cards, are without exception well produced.
- Touchstone: Not specifically Catholic, this one. Yet many a traditional Catholic finds most traditional Anglicans, for instance, to be much more civilised than are the demented Germaine-Greer-channeling harpies abounding in his own communion. Touchstone's subtitle, "A Journal of Mere Christianity", gives the C. S. Lewis flavour of its pages (orthodoxy with a small as well as, sometimes, with a large o). A monthly periodical; based in Chicago. Another handsome and easily navigable site.
