Discoveries: L.A.'s Velveteria celebrates kitsch art form
It could be argued, maybe not by snooty art historians but certainly by congenitally low-brow connoisseurs of kitsch, that to be famous in America, truly iconic, one's likeness must be painted on black velvet.
Step into a cramped, dimly lit storefront museum in this city's Chinatown neighborhood, and you encounter ample evidence supporting this theory. It's a veritable gallery of greats, all brushed in velvet for posterity: Jesus and Elvis, MLK and MJ, Marilyn and Liberace, Kennedy and Nixon.
Of course, there are the requisite sad clowns, dogs playing poker and bulls squaring off against matadors, too. But the legendary figures in this artistic movement are afforded wings: such titans of tufted fabric as Edgar Leeteg, father of velvet painting, Charles McPhee, dubbed the "Velvet Gauguin," and 94-year-old Cecelia Rodriguez, whose career took off when she eschewed masonite for velvet.
Never heard of these "Old Masters" of the velvet medium?
Well, that alone is reason to stop at the Velveteria, a museum-cum-gallery boasting more than 2,500 examples of this art form that first gained popularity when Marco Polo discovered it along the Silk Road, arguably peaked in the United States during the Vietnam War and endures today at swap meets, inside certain dive bars and in antiques stores that don't take themselves too seriously.
Carl Baldwin, founder of the Velveteria along with his wife, Caren Anderson, will never be accused of excessive seriousness. In fact, he may be the most whimsical art curator around, reveling in showing off such gems gracing his museum walls as Howard Stern's, uh, dignified profile, Lucha Libre wrestlers in attack position and, in the back, behind a blushing pink curtain, bare nekkid ladies in certain suggestive motifs. But, this isn't some winking, ironic lark for Baldwin, and to dismiss his collection as mere hack work is to invite his scorn.
"Look at this guy here, Edward Leeteg," he says, pointing to a series of works featuring topless Tahitian women and an intricate portrait of a farmer with weathered lines creasing his face. "He's got some really fine stuff. He was the godfather, the master, whatever you call it. He died in '53. Fell off a motorcycle. Tragic. He was a crazy dude, a womanizer, dope head, all those things. He had a place in Tahiti called the Villa Velour. Lived in paradise. What a life.
"And look at this stuff over here. CeCe Rodriguez. Last of a generation. Last woman standing. Look at this picture of a guy in the sugar cane fields (of Hawaii). See the attention to detail? This is true fine art. It's very difficult to paint onto velvet, you know. You can't make a mistake because the matte of the velvet is unforgiving, like watercolor. If you aren't perfect, it's tossed."
Yet, not 10 feet away from the work of Leeteg and Rodriguez are examples of those mass-produced staples of the genre – dogs playing poker – and celeb likenesses. Miley Cyrus captured in mid-twerk, or William Shatner in full "Star Trek" regalia, will never meet even the kindest critic's definition of sublimity.
"Yeah, man, we embrace it all," said Baldwin, issuing a bark of a laugh. "That's what's cool about it. Because it's art of the people, stuff people actually hang in their house. It's not intimidating. I mean, who doesn't want to own E.T. on velvet? I've got these guys down in Mexico painting for me, so if somebody wanted an image done, we can get any image on velvet for you."
One image, alas, not on display is a portrait of Baldwin himself. He's quite the character, with shaggy salt-and-pepper hair he brushes out of his eyes, a matching bushy mustache and a disarming, tranquilo manner. He's become something of a media darling, too, having appeared with his cache of crushed velvet on "The Tonight Show," "National Geographic Intelligent Traveler," "No Reservations With Anthony Bourdain," NPR, Al Jazeera America and Penthouse magazine.
Until just four months ago, the Velveteria was headquartered in Portland. Though they liked the quirky vibe of that hip Northwest burg, Baldwin and Anderson are native Californians and longed to get back. Plus, a major metropolitan market would boost the profile of velvet art, sadly ignored, in Baldwin's opinion.
But why Chinatown, not exactly known as a velvet-art hub?
"We were looking around, thinking, 'Where do we want to be?' " Baldwin said. "The beach! So I went to Venice, and the guy wanted to rent me a wall for $5,000 a month. Crazy. Then I thought, 'Why not Chinatown?' Downtown L.A. is a booming place, man, like San Francisco in the Gold Rush. Everybody's moving here."
There were no worries that the splendors of velvet painting would get lost in translation, Baldwin said, since this genre has always transcended borders. It was huge in Hawaii and French Polynesia in the early to mid-20th century, thrived overseas during the Vietnam conflict and long has been the top (OK, maybe the second-largest) import crossing the border from Mexico. To broaden the museum's cultural cachet, Baldwin put up signs in his front window in English, Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese.
The response, he said, has been gratifying. He said Vietnam veterans are particularly enamored.
"Guys (in Vietnam) would go to the Philippines on R-and-R, buy velvet and ship them back home," he said. "Look at this one: It's a GI in full camo."
The painting is arresting. It shows a soldier tying himself off with a red rubber rope and preparing to plunge a syringe into the crook of his elbow.
"I guess they saw us as heroin-fueled crazy people bent on killing people," Baldwin said.
Well, that's one interpretation. Most of the velvet art eschews overt political messages in favor of the sensual or celebrity worship. But one wing is dedicated to African Americans.
"Here's Bobby Seale getting ready for court in the Chicago 7, 8, 6, whatever, trial," he said. "Tupac is very big. And I had to get Barry (White, soul singer) done after he died. And, of course, here's Martin Luther King. He's in velvet in everybody's house."
Perhaps the most velvety personage in the world is Elvis Presley, and Baldwin has dedicated an entire hallway to the King. That hallway leads to the bathroom, where, yes, there are velvet paintings of people "on the pot," from Frank Zappa to matadors. Over the toilet? A 4-foot full-frontal portrait of Anderson Cooper in nothing but a G-string.
Why? Who knows and who cares. You won't see that in the Louvre.

Tier-II colleges suffer Rs. 3 crore loss; many may be forced to close down
Some colleges want poor and meritorious quota system abolished
Colleges divided on the admission policy for 2010
BANGALORE: After a harrowing time last year, a section of engineering colleges is gearing up to demand the abolition of the State Government's "poor and meritorious quota" scheme and introduce an increase in government quota fees.
College managements, particularly those considered tier-II, say their demands are a result of having to combat increased costs, low intake and the burden of having to provide newly introduced subsidies.
Sources in private engineering colleges, who spoke on condition of anonymity, maintained that if the current system prevails, as many as six or seven colleges in Bangalore will be forced to shut shop.
Colleges in the State have had to suffer losses to the extent of Rs. 3 crore, said K.B. Munivenkatareddy, vice-president of the Forum of Unaided Private Engineering Colleges.
College managements want the government to pay up for its own subsidy schemes. Since 2009, students coming under the "poor and meritorious" quota have been offered a fee subsidy of Rs. 10,000, occupying 25 per cent of the seats. This subsidy, that was offered in return for a greater share of seats which later found no takers, hit tier-II colleges hard. In some colleges, 20 of the 30 seats that were filled of a total class strength of 60 came under the "poor and meritorious" category, said a college official. "How then can our college expect to survive?" the official asked.
Colleges in smaller cities, even those that are 10 or 15 years old, ran at 50 per cent class strength in the first year batch of 2009.
"Simply signing a deal will not do. The State Government must sit with academics and find a way to solve our problems," Mr. Munivenkatareddy said.
Affluent colleges too
To make matters worse, private engineering colleges are bitterly divided on the admission policy for 2010. While top colleges, which were able to fill seats to capacity last year, are largely content with the current admission structure, others are demanding a complete revamp in admission policy.
While tier-II colleges feel that their interests are ill-represented, managements of top colleges too feel that the current fee structure is unaffordable. The AICTE pay scales, recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission, will hike teacher salaries by as much as 60 per cent, points out Panduranga Shetty, president of the Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges' Association, another engineering college association.
Mr. Shetty feels that there is "pointless debate" on whether there should be one entrance test or two, when the crux of the issue lies in the economics of it all.
"People are shying away from talking about it. But the real question for all colleges, irrespective of status, is where will we find money to run colleges?" he asks. Though the upper fee limit is set at Rs 1.25 lakh, only a handful of colleges are able to charge such a high fee.

Ariana Grande's 'Break Free' music video showcases the Nickelodeon star on an intergalactic mission to save the world from aliens. As John Basedow (@JohnBasedow) reports, the 'Problem' singer sports a metallic bra, like 'Barbarella,' blows the face off a creature straight out of the 'Star Wars' Cantina, tosses a 'Flash Gordon' Ming-like overlord into a fiery pit and uses her cannonball-shooting breasts to blast a 'Power Rangers'-themed giant robot.

Complete your adventure through Rotorua with a traditional Maori "hangi" feast. You'll travel by coach to Tamaki Maori Village where your local guide will escort you on a cultural journey to the "marae" (Maori village), the life force of New Zealand's indigenous people. Take the opportunity to engage in an evening of local customs including a traditional Maori dinner feast.
Your journey through time unfolds when your coach travels to a pre-European village set deep within the forest, 15 minutes from Rotorua. Let this 3.5-hour tour and your imagination take over as your guide instructs you on the protocol for visiting the marae. A chief is selected, a song is learnt and the eerie cry of the welcome is heard before you enter the world of the proud warriors of the ancient Maori.
You will experience the powhiri (welcome ceremony) before you enter the village, with crackling open fires in front of traditional whare (houses). You'll hear traditional Maori instruments and watch the daily activities of days gone by. In the wharenui (meeting house), a Rangiatea culture group offers a powerful display of haka song and dance. Then, as new friendships are forged, dine on a traditional hangi feast, where the food is cooked slowly beneath the ground in earth ovens.
This is an amazing re-enactment based on actual events from history, with real characters, traditional arts and crafts, powerful song and dance while enjoying an authentic Hangi feas

Bay Area pet GSD
I have a simply AWESOME dog that I got from a pet breeder just outside of Sacramento. You can go check them out...see the parents etc. I bought my dog as a pet but I've done tons of obedience, protection, nosework and tracking with him. He loves to work...but is also incredible easy going and mellow in the house. Here's the link to their website! My dog's mother is retired but his father it 'Hutch' who is still being used in their breeding program.

I have heard the statementsSubmitted by Guest 757 (not verified) on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 8:48am.
I have heard the statements that Wright has made,
but come on people, Wright will do anything to cover for his "SUGAR DADDY". In jail he received more than 8000.00 and when he got out a few weeks back there was a SUV waiting for him at his mothers house. (a gift from Soles)
RC Soles can't keep buying their silence for ever..
It's time for the people of that county to get there heads out of the sand. If the DA won't do anything. VOTE HIM OUT !!!!

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #122307
A flaw in the parsing of Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) has been discovered in libtasn1, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
2. Impact Information
Libtasn1 is a library used to parse ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) objects, and perform DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoding. Libtasn1 is included with the GNU TLS library, which is used by applications to provide a cryptographically secure communications channel.
Evgeny Legerov has reported a flaw in the DER decoding routines provided by libtasn1, which could cause an out of bounds access to occur.
A remote attacker could cause an application using libtasn1 to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted input.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtasn1-0.2.18"
All GNU TLS users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.2: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/gnutls-1.2.10"
