OBITUARY: Zail Singh
Zail Singh, India's first Sikh president, never forgot his humble, backward-class origins as the country's first citizen.
As India's seventh president, after a stint as the first Sikh federal home minister Giani, as he was popularly known, drew upon his experiences as a tailor, carpenter, farm labourer and local priest to defuse grave political crises with rustic anecdotes,riddles and, at times, bawdy ditties.
But behind all the earthiness lay a shrewd and calculating political mind which provided tense moments to Rajiv Gandhi as prime minister when, under pressure from MPs, he almost dismissed Singh on charges of accepting kickbacks from an arms deal in the late Eighties.
At the last moment, Singh stepped back from taking the extreme step of settling scores with the boorish Gandhi, who had publicly insulted the office of president. Placing national interest above personal vendetta, Singh opted to ignore the prime minister's shortcomings and retired a short while later, remembered as India's most colourful and sartorially elegant president. He was also the most approachable and one who comprehended poverty.
Singh's five-year presidency was riddled with turbulence which not only affected him gravely but also changed the course of Indian history.
The first traumatic event was Operation Bluestar, when army troops attacked hundreds of armed Sikh separatists hiding inside the Golden Temple, Sikhism's Vatican, in the northern city of Amritsar in 1984. Led by a fundamentalist preacher, the separatists, demanding an independent Sikh homeland, declared war on the Indian state, leaving the prime minister, Indira Gandhi, no alternative but to mobilise the army.
Although he was supreme commander of India's armed forces, Singh's official humiliation was that he was not informed of the assault by Mrs Gandhi in which hundreds of innocent people also died. And, personally, as a Sikh he was aggrieved by the armed transgression of Sikhism's holiest shrine. His humiliation, however, was far from over and, on orders from Gandhi, he justified the attack on national television.
The Sikhs, who never believed or trusted Singh from the time he was Punjab's chief minister in the Seventies, became convinced of the president's complicity in the attack, leading to his excommunication by Sikh priests at the Golden Temple. Fervent pleasfor forgiveness were ignored and it was only recently, several years after he laid down office, that he made his peace at the Golden Temple and was restored to the faith.
Singh was still reeling under the shock of his excommunication when four months later over 5,000 Sikhs were killed in New Delhi in a pogrom lasting three days after two Sikh bodyguards assassinated Mrs Gandhi. For three days he lived as a powerless head of state in the presidential palace, unable to mobilise the police and prevent rioting.
Even Rajiv Gandhi, whom he had sworn in as prime minister a few days earlier, had no time for Singh. For Singh this was the beginning of the confrontation with the prime minister and one which almost brought about a constitutional crisis.
During this clash, lasting almost a year, Singh was humiliated and openly mocked by Rajiv Gandhi. But he defied and resisted the prime minister whenever he could and his refusal to sign the Postal Bill which would have given the government unlimited freedom to intercept private mail put paid to any such legislation ever being proposed again. When news of Singh's proposals to dismiss Gandhi became known, loyal MPs launched a nasty campaign to vilify him, but the president's maturity prevailed and a compromise was executed.
Zail Singh was born in 1916 into a poor family in Sandhwan village in the northern Punjab state, then part of the erstwhile Faridkot state ruled over by a repressive maharaja. He was christened Jarnail or General Singh but, after spending years in the maharaja's jails for opposing his authoritarianism, he changed his name to Zail Singh.
On matriculating from the local village school he trained at the local gurdwara or Sikh temple to become a Granthi, a professional reader of the Holy Granth, Sikhism's Bible. This accomplishment earned him the title of Giani.
After Faridkot state was merged with Punjab, Singh joined the Congress party and entered state politics in the late Forties as a legislator. He became a Rajya Sabha (upper house) MP a decade later before returning to Punjab as a junior minister in 1962. After a stint as state opposition leader he became state chief minister in 1972, a post he held for five years.
His political career as a chief minister was marked by sycophancy, chicanery and ruthlessness. His undying loyalty to Indira Gandhi and her younger son Sanjay served him well, especially when the former, facing dismissal for electoral malpractices, imposed an internal emergency suspending civil liberties. Singh supported Mrs Gandhi whole-heartedly, earning the opprobrium of his political peers for his virtual enslavement to the Gandhis but political muscle from his mentors.
As a consequence, he failed to get elected in the polls which followed and for the next three years did little else but pay daily obeisance to Mrs Gandhi, also a political pariah. But when Gandhi returned to power in 1980 she made Singh home minister and, two years later, elevated him to president. Singh made no secret of his gratitude to Gandhi and, on his appointment, said that, even if Gandhi asked him to sweep her courtyard with a broom, he would do so willingly.
A warm, amusing and passionate man, Zail Singh never forgot his friends and supporters even as president. He could regale audiences with quotations from the Koran and Hindu scriptures and often related popular jokes centred around himself to his peers.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

Film Review: 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman' Hindered by Extra Sidekick
Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 7, 2014 - 6:52pmCHICAGO – Talking dogs have been around for decades in animated movies and television shows, especially the anthropomorphized kind. From the superhero antics of Underdog to the biting sarcasm from the likes of Brian from "Family Guy" - take your pick and you can find a dog to your liking. I always took a shine to Mr. Peabody, the intelligent and resourceful beagle with a penchant for puns.
Entertainment News: TV Comedy Pioneer Sid Caesar Dies at 91
Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 12, 2014 - 6:19pmLOS ANGELES – It's a pioneering TV show practically lost to history. Sid Caesar hosted and performed in "Your Show of Shows," a 90 minute live 1950s sketch comedy program, and also helped to launch a who's who of 20th Century comedy. Coming out of his writer's rooms were such comic greats as Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner and Woody Allen. Sid Caesar died February 12th at his home near Los Angeles, according to a newsfeed from Larry King on Twitter.
Interviews: Barbara Feldon, Bernie Kopell 'Get Smart' at The Hollywood Show
Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 2, 2013 - 7:12pmCHICAGO – The TV show "Get Smart," which had its original run on the NBC network from 1965-1970, was an oddball classic. Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the sitcom was a goofy satire on cold war politics of the 1960s, with a hapless operative named Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) working for the CONTROL agency, spying against a foreign menace called KAOS. Barbara Feldon (Agent 99) and Bernie Kopell (Sigfried) were part of the supporting cast.
Blu-ray Review: Film Doesn't Get Much Funnier Than 'The Producers'
Submitted by BrianTT on July 17, 2013 - 10:59amCHICAGO – Mel Brooks' "The Producers," recently released in a perfect collector's edition with both SD and HD versions accompanied by spectacular special features by Shout Factory, may be a perfect comedy. It has that perfect balance of incredibly smart humor and physical antics that would define a lot of Brooks' best work. It won the Oscar for Best Screenplay and, unlike a lot of films from the '60s, would win it again today were it released tomorrow.
TV Review: 'Mel Brooks: Make a Noise' Captures Comedy Genius
Submitted by BrianTT on May 20, 2013 - 8:47amCHICAGO – I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan, one of those critics who bows at the altar of arguably the two best comedies of all time, "Blazing Saddles" & "Young Frankenstein." I've seen them both a dozen times and can't wait to watch them again.

London: Extreme winter weather swept across western Europe, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at London's main international airport and claiming several lives in Spain, Portugal, Scotland and France, including those of three Mali-bound soldiers.
Blizzards, air traffic havoc and deaths hit Europe

The frigid temperatures also caused delays and cancellations on major railway lines including the Eurostar train service, and transport authorities warned of further traffic disruptions with more blizzards forecast for Sunday.
In London, thousands of passengers were forced to camp out on the floor at Heathrow Airport overnight as hundreds of flights to and from the British capital were cancelled.
"There are lots of bodies lying around in the airport. If feels like there's been a natural disaster," Jerry Meng from Los Angeles, whose flight to New York was cancelled, told the BBC.
London's other main airports, Gatwick and Stansted, managed to operate fairly normally Saturday.
Aeroports de Paris, which operates the city's main airports, said air traffic there would be disrupted from late Saturday "and all day Sunday".

Air France said all of its long-haul flights would operate normally on Sunday, but that about 40 per cent of its short- and medium-haul flights would be affected by the disruptions.
Snow and ice covering large parts of France led to several fatal car crashes, one of which killed three French soldiers about to join comrades fighting in Mali, authorities said.
The troops were travelling in an army car with their military packs and weapons when their vehicle crashed in an accident involving two trucks and two cars.
In total, six people were killed on the slippery French roads Saturday, and the nation's weather services have forecast more snow across the northern and southeastern parts of the country over the weekend.
The French railway SNCF said high-speed train travellers could expect delays of up to 40 minutes for all TGV destinations Saturday night, as train conductors had been ordered to slow down because of the elevated risks linked to the storms.
In the Scottish Highlands on Saturday, an avalanche killed four climbers and seriously injured one, while a sixth survived, police said.
One woman was found alive and is in a serious condition in a nearby hospital. The sixth member of the group, a male climber, raised the alarm and helped with the search.
The cold snap also led to power outages, particularly in Northern Ireland where at least 900 homes were without electricity Saturday.
In southern Europe, the fierce weather claimed several lives, killing two men in Spain as the force of winds whipping the country's southeastern coast caused a wall to collapse on them in the city of Cartagena.
Spain's national rail operator ADIF said wind damage forced delays to high-speed trains linking Madrid with the major cities of Seville and Valencia.
The country's interior ministry issued an alert for the weekend, warning of snow and rainstorms nationwide with winds up to 100 km/hand rough seas in the Mediterranean.
In Portugal, an elderly man was killed after strong winds hurled him into a door in the central municipality of Abrantes, leaving him with deadly head injuries. Two teenagers were hospitalised after a chimney collapsed in Agualva, in the Lisbon suburbs.
The Portugese meteorological institute has issued the highest weather alert for six of its 18 districts. According to rescue services, some 3,900 weather-related incidents were reported in Portugal between Friday morning and noon on Saturday.
Some welcomed the icy spell.
In Russia, thousands of Orthodox devotees braved the cold weather and plunged into holes cut into frozen rivers and ponds to celebrate the Orthodox Epiphany.

Brash and apathetic to a fault, Detective Bobby Forsett retreats from a crumbling personal and professional world he fashioned around twenty-six years of dedicated police service. Seeking solace and personal redemption he finds himself pulled back by fading sentiments he's trying to deny and vengeful forces intent on reminding him why he never should have left. Set amid the pristine forests and mountain grandeur that surround the gem of the Pacific Northwest's urban coastal region, Vancouver Canada, the story offers glimpses into noble souls whose deeds are anything but, and callous tormentors whose intentions are all that and more. Bobby relentlessly pursues justice to the literal precipice rediscovering a commitment to past ideals and frayed emotional ties he'd considered relics of a past best forgotten.

I first paid attention to the Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 4K UHD camcorder when my friend and director Luis Palomo told me he had one on the way for him. I looked up the specs and price, and was intrigued. Like the Sony PXW-X70 I'll be reviewing soon (already purchased by two local friends), the DMC-FZ1000 has a 1" type sensor which is capable of 4K UHD, as well as 1080p and below. It has a 25–400mm permanent electric zoom (35mm equivalent). Here is my first look (including audio details not published by Panasonic), while I perform a full evaluation with Luis.

For event recording, it's good to have emergency sealed headphones, and being extremely portable and cheap, earphones fit the bill. Amazon is touting a selection of Stocking Stuffer Headphones Under $10, and when you land there, you're greeted by "Major Sound with a Minor Price." If you shop for $10 headphones, what can you expect? Probably better than that list. Happily, manufacturers sometimes ship inexpensive products that don't sound half bad.

First Day of Historic Three-Day Attic Sale at Chatsworth Realises US$7 Million
Over 400 people attended the sale today, staged in a fully equipped sale room that had been constructed overnight in a 20,000 square foot marquee in the grounds of Chatsworth.
The first day of the largest country house sale staged since 1977, Chatsworth: The Attic Sale, has just concluded. Of the total 1422 lots in the three-day sale, 395 came under the hammer today. Estimated to realise a sum in the region of £1.2 million, todays session realised an extraordinary £4,416,425 (US$6,980,601), surpassing already the pre-sale estimate of £2.5 million for the entire sale. Nearly all of the lots offered found homes, with sell through rates today of 98.6% by value and 94.7% by lot.
Over 400 people attended the sale today, staged in a fully equipped sale room that had been constructed overnight in a 20,000 square foot marquee in the grounds of Chatsworth. Those attending, paddles in hand, pitted their bids against the 1,000 other people bidding via the phones, live over the internet and through absentee bids lodged with the auctioneer prior to the sale.
The Duke of Devonshire said: I am delighted at how well the first day of the sale has gone. There has been a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for these wonderful items.
Speaking after the sale, Harry Dalmeny, Deputy Chairman,
UK and auctioneer for much of the day said: The fantastic energy at the sale today is testimony, if ever any were needed, to the enduring magic of a house like Chatsworth.
At the core of the sale today was a substantial group of furnishings and fittings from one of the greatest lost palaces of London Devonshire House on Piccadilly, designed and furnished by William Kent, one of Englands most influential architects and designers. Together, the 104 lots from Devonshire House made £2,332,755, against a combined estimate in the region of £1.1 million.
Among the fittings from Devonshire house were five chimneypieces designed by William Kent; each of which sold well, one fetching the highest price of the day:
Lot 82, A magnificent George II carved white marble chimneypiece designed by William Kent c. 1735, for the Saloon at Devonshire House. This sold for £565,250 (including buyers premium, see notes to editors) - far above its pre-sale estimate of £200,000-300,000, and a record for a chimneypiece at auction
Other top lots of the day included:
Lot 109, A George II carved white marble chimneypiece, designed by William Kent, c. 1735, for the Ballroom at Devonshire House, sold for £457,250 (est. £200,000-300,000)
Lot 96, A George II grey veined white marble Chimneypiece, designed by William Kent c. 1735, for the Green Drawing Room at Devonshire House, sold for £265,250 (est. £200,000-300,000)
Lot 315, The Chiswick Dining Table, George III Mahogany and crossbanded five pedestal dining table, c. 1790, sold for £205,250 (est. £80,000-120,000)
Lot 137, A late George III gilt-bronze mounted mahogany Library Bookcase, c. 1805-10, designed by Thomas Hope and incorporating a concealed door, through which the Prince Regent (later George IV) would pass to visit Mrs Fitzherbert, sold for £145,250 (est. £60,000-90,000)
Some of the more unusual items offered today were also received well. They included:
Lot 350, An extraordinary assortment of 18th and 19th century shells, some probably having belonged to Georgiana, 5th Duchess of Devonshire, made £6,875 (est. £3,000-5,000)
Lot 174, An unusual Georgian wrought iron 18th-century boot scraper, made £1,875 (est: £300-500)
A number of items offered today exceeded their estimates by multiple factors:
Lot 84, A pair of George II simulated stone carved wood brackets c. 1735, based on a design by William Kent, sold for £115,250 (est. £20,000-30,000)
Lot 60, A Brass and Tortoiseshell Inlaid Première-and Contre-partie Boulle Marquetry Commode attributed to Nicolas Sageot, Louis XIV, c. 1700, sold for £103,250 (est. 25,000-40,000)
Lot 3, A Commonwealth Cast Iron Armorial Fireback, dated 1657, sold for £18,750 (est. 1,200-1,800)
Bidding in the sale today came from across the world: Asia, the US, Europe, Russia, as well the UK (Derbyshire in particular).

Fantasy rankings: Point-per-reception
The top 200 players in fantasy leagues that play with point-per-reception rules
Rankings for Points-Per-Reception leagues
Rankings are based on the ESPN Fantasy Football game, comprised of 10 teams each with a starting roster of one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one running back/wide receiver, one tight end, one defense/special teams unit, one kicker and seven bench spots for a total of 160 rostered players (10 teams x 16 players), with the biggest difference being receptions counting for one point each.
Rankings were determined by consensus of ESPN's fantasy football experts and reflect risk, upside and positional tiers. For that reason, there are some subtle differences between them and the projected point totals for each player. Click here for complete ESPN fantasy football projections and profiles.

30 years into the HIV and AIDS epidemic, discrimination continues to be one of the most devastating consequences of an HIV diagnosis, and stands in the way of an effective response.
By posting pictures of emaciated people to raise awareness, it is just reinforcing that stereotype so that the general public still have the idea that to be unwell the sufferer must be very thin and it makes sufferers feel that unless they look like that photo then they are not unwell enough to seek help.
Of course no government document will ever please everyone, but after the intensive focus on dementia in recent years there was a fear that it could drop off the political radar and that the already scant resources would dry up even more. At least this 'Vision' document suggests that the focus on dementia might be here to stay.
How many of us are only one short step away from a disastrous life-changing event whether it be loss of a job, a loved one, an accident, repossessed house, illness. We can never be sure what is coming round that next bend but are we prepared? How can we be?
Funding is a major issue. We know that specialist nurses save money - fewer patients turn up in the consultant's clinic, at A&E, or get admitted to hospital. Waiting times are reduced and preventable problems are addressed.
I appreciate how serious mental health conditions can be. I spent most of my life suffering from intense anxiety and had three psychotic breakdowns to boot. I know many people never recover from these experiences, and this is why I feel duty-bound to write on the subject.
Do you ever feel guilty when devouring a bacon sandwich? If yes, it's hardly surprising. Fatty foods have a pretty bad reputation, and we're encouraged to minimise our intake. But where does this attitude towards fat come from?
On the day of my diagnosis, I did several things. First, I sat on a bench outside the hospital, my head on my knees, crying uncontrollably, as my partner quietly kept his arms around me. I stayed like that for some time before suddenly sitting upright and asking him if he would marry me.
Congee is all about well-being and vitality. When eaten, it really feels like it heals all that is bad in the world. It is comfort food like being in bed on a miserable day with a warm, soft cosy blanket and your favourite TV show. Its like something you get from your grandmother or your mother.
Stop every ninety minutes or so, take a break, eat something nourishing, drink something replenishing, move, look at a picture of someone you love, breathe mindfully, pray, nap, get out of your head and back into your body, remind yourself that you're a human being and not a human doing.
It is clear that researching rare conditions often leads to greater insights about other conditions with similar characteristics - this helps develop more targeted treatments, and move away from a 'one size fits all' approach to medicine.
Should care for "self-inflicted" alcohol, drug, smoking and obesity problems be funded by the NHS? Should cosmetic surgery in any form be available free of charge? Should the most expensive new cancer drugs be funded, even though they only benefit a tiny handful of the population and cost millions?
When there is such an emphasis on achieving, regular assessments, bigger class sizes at school with lessons led by overworked teachers dealing with classes of children with increased varying educational needs and staff without adequate support or training, these statistics support my experience of children that are stressed and unable to articulate their feelings.
I'm twenty-one years old, and I have liver disease. My particular flavour of liver disease is Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis, which basically means despite not being a drinker, my liver slowly turned to fat, then got inflamed and then started hardening into scar tissue - all without me knowing.
The trick is understanding that there are both strong and weak reasons for you finally braving the sweat and toil of gym life; like anything, it's just a case of recognising what a good reason is and what isn't.
Scientists too - especially those whose work is more about understanding prostate cancer biology than developing new treatments - can sometimes feel like the clinical sterility of their lab is a long way from the living, breathing men behind the numbers. These men, when you stop to think about it, are the reason they get out of bed in the morning.

At a bodega, but I would hurry, or get it from a state thats not banning it.

At a bodega, but I would hurry, or get it from a state thats not banning it.
I really like them, they dont taste like shit and they get the job done, this whole argument that the labels make it targeted to underage kids and what not is bullshit.
Ya each one's damned strong. My German/Russian/American/Irish best buddy can barely handle one full can.
here in cali we "were" able to get them in places like 7/11
Honestly its pretty devastating. It's 12% alcohol (so not that bad) but mixed with 80mg of caffeine (equal to one full 2liter bottle of coke) AND Taurine. If you want a similar combo try the new Nitrious monster (2000mb taurine) + 1-2 glasses of rock cpr mixed in and see if you can handle that
As for LIIT they're all supposed to have the 5 mixed drinks. If its a non-cheap bar then thats 5 shots of the standard 5 diff liquors. Its really the tequila that fucks most people up. I've tried without tequila (I bartend on the side) and just 4 drinks and it wasn't nearly as bad
With tequila just one drink and I was good to go the entire night
The problem with LIIT is that in Australia, it's against the law to serve a drink containing more than 2 shots of alcohol (that value is just from memory, I could be wrong). A lot of bars will refuse to do more than 1 shot. That's why most places that can serve you a LIIT will only do a half-shot of each, even that is more than they're supposed to serve.
None of those other drinks mentioned in this thread are available here either, which is unfortunate because you guys have piqued my interest.
I like LIIT. I'm not a massive coctail drinker and have trouble putting away enough beer to get me hammered. Generally I'll stick to a beer or two and then start on the whiskey. The other option is something like LIIT. 3 of those and I'm pretty much done for the evening. As long as they go with cola tonic rather than coke on tap, it tastes pretty good.
I understand the idea of banning these booze and coffee drinks. I suppose there is always the whole 'if you're stupid enough to do it, you deserve what you get' arguments, but let's face it, no one at varsity is really considering consequences.
Being tea total I don't get the appeal of getting hammered. Merry and relaxed I can understand, but absolutely trashed just seems like a waste of time and booze and you might end up doing something you will regret (assuming you even remember it).
I'm completely against alcopops, I think their deceptive strength makes them too open to abuse and encourages irresponsible drinking (but hey, I live in a country were binge drinking and alcohol abuse has been allowed to become rife among the young)..
It's like legalized narcotic drugs without narcotic effects! Well. Technically no longer legal since they're banned here in SoCal.
Hey, part of living for many is to simply get fucked up in as many different and often foolishly dangerous ways as possible.
I'd prefer to stick with coitus. Natural, traditional, healthy, instrumental to all forms of life. Well, not instrumental the way I do it but still. Probably should technically be coitus interruptus.
Whatever. The thought counts.
EDIT: Haha it was announced just last night that 4Loko has been officially banned here as well. They're now campaigning for its mass ban throughout all the states now.
Can't believe how ridiculous this has gotten. Apparently NY initially started the banning bandwagon
Source: http://www.usaliveheadlines.com/2386...nned-in-us.htm
I want one for the sake of trying it cause it's so popular. I couldn't find it. It's banned in MA. =(
btw: Honest 4 Loko ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJyaACQaLYQ
I highly reccommend trying it. Just to say you did. Just don't drink more than two.
...I know you guys were talking about Long Island Iced Teas and funnily enough, here on Long Island... no one really drinks them, and if you do order one, everyone immediately knows youre plan is to get absolutely shitfaced. They have a dangerous reputation here.

From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon's first collection of poems. That Mark Haddon's first book after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book of poetry may surprise his many fans; that it is also one of such virtuosity and range will not. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon's prose are in strong evidence here — the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism — but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.
Mark Haddon is a writer and illustrator of numerous award-winning children's books and television screen-plays. He is the author of the bestselling novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which was the Whitbread Book of the Year in 2004. He teaches creative writing for the Arvon Foundation and lives in Oxford, England.

It's been nearly 10 months since Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast — and coastal communities are still trying to rebuild. Many homeowners are turning to building professionals to reduce the risk of future floods. But in doing so, architects and designers may be exposing themselves to legal risk.

text: In the fall of 1983, a new gallery Spiritual America opened at 5 Rivington Street to little fanfare. Their inauguration featured Richard Prince's now-iconic image of a young Brooke Shields. Their fourth and final exhibition was a group show, Pop, including Jeff Koons, Louise Lawler and Cindy Sherman. In between these projects, Peter Nadin hung a series of fruit paintings, Still Life, which half gallery is pleased to be re-presenting. The pictures from 1979-1983 vary wildly in their style (some impasto, some surrealist, some incorporating text) and follow an apostolic succession - in the secular sense - dating back to de Chirico, Picasso, Cézanne, Caravaggio and countless masters before them. Nadin cites William Blake's Nobodaddy and Lewis Carroll's Boojum snark as the closest articulation of what he was experiencing then, both personally and creatively. In retrospect, Nadin views the chronology of his still life paintings as a reflection of his psychological regression at the time. What began as a polite set of interiors, literally flew out the window, crashing into the landscape and ultimately commingling with language from his poetry. Tanam Press published a compilation of his Still Life poems in conjunction with the December 1983 show. More recently, Peter Nadin has exhibited at Gavin Brown's enterprise, Family Business and The Horticultural Society of New York.

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Prabal Gurung
Prabal Gurung Wanted to Make a Statement About Something Other Than "Vulgar Dresses" for Spring 2010
>> Prabal Gurung says his Spring 2011 collection was inspired by Tilda Swinton's role in I Am Love and dedicated to "the intelligent woman. The brain is her most important feature." He continued: "We've had a decade of tight skirts and vulgar dresses, and I wanted to make a statement about something different." Hence the collection's predominant silhouette: a hemline five inches below the knee.
Gurung prides himself on his technicality, talking backstage about a skirt with side slits that took him a week to perfect and a sheath dress spliced with neoprene: "This is a pattern-maker's nightmare. When you see the pattern all laid out it looks like a maze." A few cocktail dresses with seam tape fringe came off a bit heavy, but the brightly colored ensembles — Frida Gustavsson's opening dress, Irina Kulikova's sky blue blouse and saffron yellow pencil skirt — were striking, and Heidi Mount's blue mesh paneled gown deserves a major red carpet moment. The show also marked Gurung's first shoe collaboration with Nicholas Kirkwood, who said after the show: "I'm just happy no one tripped!"

Cats Are People Too
Cats are People Too! is the tale of three kittens, who are brothers, trying to find their "Forever Home," a place where they will be very well loved. Set in London, the cats begin a challenging yet funny journey to find a home after they are separated from their mother. Cas is the eldest kitten and a bit of a bully; Ras is timid and cries easily; while Tas is the baby who always gets into trouble.
As we see these three little kittens experience the same emotions that people do, we realize that just like children, these cuddly creatures also need love and care to survive.

Recipe by SINFONY_STAR
"This is an orange flavored gingerbread for the bread machine that is especially good with chocolate syrup or hazelnut spread."

1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
It's not a bread machine recipe if I have to turn on the oven. Dumped it all in the breadmaker on whole wheat, 1.5 lb loaf, light crust. Added 1/4 cup water during kneading b/c the mix was too dry. Final result was still a bit dry. Texture about as expected for the flours (medium grainy). I don't understand why this recipe used all purpose instead of bread flour. Bread had a hint of sweetness, faint orange flavor, ginger undertones. Overall I'd say it was too mildly spiced to be a specialty bread and too flavored to be an all purpose bread. I won't be making this again.
Yum, it doesn't have a coarse yeast-bread grain (at least I think of yeast-bread as coarse-grained). It's more like a quick bread in that it's fine-grained and somewhat soft. It's also nice that it only rises once.

I like this bread, but I don't love it. I would make it again because I have not found many breakfast breads. I think it would make good french toast.
Great tasting bread! The orange and the ginger really come through! This loaf slices nicely! Thanks for the recipe!
