My favorite !
Posted Nov 8, 2013Love the laid back ambiance, the nightly hula shows ( free ), the mahi mahi sandwiches at the Hula Bar, the friendly employees, the location on Kaanapali Beach , and the very reasonable prices. There's a reason people return here on their trips to Maui ! Two years ago we had free ukelele lessons and made leis ( also free ! ).

Maui's Best Hotel!
Posted Oct 9, 2013Hawaii. We stayed at Kaanapali Beach Hotel and were thrilled with it. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful. It was old but very well kept and every night we would open our lanai doors and view the ocean as well as the pool and tiki torches. The free Hawaiian music show was also wonderful! Our bathroom was clean but needed some service and needed some updates but the staff was very accommodating. Sunday Champagne Brunch was to die for!!!!! Check out ceremony was beautiful with each guest receiving a lei with a meaningful explanation. Very touching! We can't wait to come back!!! Walking distance to Whaler's Village. Beautiful beach and walkway!

Very Hawaiian!
Posted Sep 19, 2013First time being in Hawaii, and Kaanapali Beach Hotel was a HUGE part of our Hawaiian experience! The staff was welcoming & helpful. The room was comfortable, clean, and always inviting after an adventurous day! And the access to the beach was THEE VERY BEST! ps....make sure you attend a Luau! The Kaanapali Sunset Luau was just a walk to the next hotel over. EVERYTHING we experienced was PERFECT!

Hotel needs a facelift!
Posted Sep 14, 2013I stayed here 35 years ago and fell in love with the location and property. It is still a great location but is in desperate need of a refurbishing. The grounds are well kept and beautiful but the ocean front room needs more bathroom counter space and more hooks or a clothes line over the bath tub to hang dry bathing suits. The room has a day bed that is of no use unless more than two people are using the room. The staff, is as always, very friendly and helpful! I will consider another stay but hope to see improvements.

Absolutely Wonderful
Posted Jul 15, 2013Before arriving, I read mixed reviews about this hotel and was slightly nervous as to what we would find. I usually stay in 4 or 5 star resorts and was concerned Ka'anapali Beach Hotel wouldn't live up to my expectations. It's safe to say I had absolutely nothing to worry about. The entire property is absolutely stunning. The grounds are perfectly manicured and the beach is pristine. It's in a wonderful location, you can walk down the beach to Black Rock for snorkeling and in the other direction to Whalers Village for excellent dining and shopping. The Tiki Bar and Grill were a great experience (food was pretty good, too!). Our room was clean and very spacious - there were three of us in our room and we had more than enough room. Be sure to ask to stay in the Lanai wing! We were upgraded upon arrival to a partial ocean view, but it could have been classified as an ocean view. The beds were comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. They were a little outdated, but who spends all their time on vacation in their room?! My only complaint would be the restaurant. We were disappointed in the food quality for expensive it is. I would recommend walking to other restaurants where the price is the same but the meal is twice as good. Overall, it was an excellent and relaxing vacation.

Nice Hotel
Posted Jun 1, 2013This is touted as "Maui's most Hawaiian Hotel," and I guess it is. A hula show every nite, with other entertainment (singers) also. The hotel is a little older, but kept up well. Our room was fine - ground floor, garden view, nice. Restaurant good for dinner, better for breakfast. Right on the ocean, so hitting the beach is easy. Also an easy walk to Whaler's Village, with several nice restaurants and many shops. All in all, happy we stayed there.

Fantastic Place
Posted May 23, 2013The staff was very friendly, the hotel clean and the ocean a very short walk away as well as good restaraunts and proximity to Lahiana. The Tiki bar serves up fantastic mahi mahi and fries and the bar has awesome daily drink specials. The sunsets from the closeby beach made each day enjoyable and relaxing.

Hawaiian way!
Posted May 2, 2013The room we stayed in needed some updates, but what we really enjoyed were the friendliness of the workers and especially the shows which are free. The people sang well and dancers did a great job! I tend to be critical with dancers because I have been in a hula/Tahitian group for 9 years and the halau who performed while we were, there did an excellent job. The hotel's backyard is the beach and it's walking distance to Whaler's village. We also enjoyed the farewell ceremony and tidbits of Hawaiian knowledged passed on to guests.

I don't recommend the Hotel.
Posted Apr 4, 2013We paid too much for the hotel, they did not take care of the bathrooms, old finishing, bad quality repairs, dripping water from condensation, carpet is dirty, very small toilet and shower space, no tissue in the room, shampoo very poor quality. Will not go back.This hotel is not up to the expectation for the money we have paid, Dirty carpet, old building, rooms need remodeling( very old and Un-appealing).

Good accommodations in a popular area
Posted Apr 2, 2013A good option for those wanting to stay in the Kaanapali area. Rooms have somewhat dated decor but contain everything you need. Restaurant offers decent food, although those who prefer to converse at dinner should be warned that there is always a live music/hula show. Beach access can't be beat. Beach towels are free; parking, beach chairs, and room safe all cost extra.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Growth on Sale (Final)
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It was a tale of two markets, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers on Monday, as he opined on the day's trading action. Cramer said that all of last month's winners got pummeled today, while a whole new class of stocks became en vogue.
Cramer said it may be hard for individual investors to fathom the intricate dynamics of the markets, but today's trading illustrated a classic "linked trade" with Europe. He said for weeks, hedge fund managers have been betting hundreds of billions on continued weakness in Europe. So today, when the U.S. dollar reversed course and took a turn for the better, many managers were caught on the wrong side of the trade.
That explains the action in many weak dollar stocks like 3M (MMM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Pfizer (PFE), said Cramer. These stocks, along with many of the banks, all saw their shares slide today. Then there are the Nasdaq darlings, Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL - Get Report), a stock which he owns for his charitable trustExecutive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer checked back in with Andrew Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE - Get Report), a stock that's up 61% since Cramer last spoke with Littlefair on November 14. Littlefair said the economics for using natural gas for surface vehicles in the U.S. remain strong, adding that our country is passing up an incredible opportunity by not embracing the fuel. He said while Clean Energy Fuels doesn't need an endorsement from Congress, having leadership on the issue at the government level would go a long way toward moving the country to a new fuel.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has saluted the outgoing Timothy Geithner as one of the best U.S. Treasury secretaries ever. He's surely been among the most contentious.
Not since the Great Depression had an administration inherited so many grave financial threats at once. To many, Geithner deserves credit for helping steady the banking system and helping restore investor confidence. Yet his toughest critics say Geithner's policies consistently favored big banks over ordinary struggling Americans.
When Geithner became Treasury secretary in January 2009, the economy had sunk into a deep recession. Unemployment was surging. Stock prices were sinking. The financial system was teetering.
Geithner, whose last day in office is Friday, was an administration point man on all these issues. Here's a look at some of the crises the Treasury confronted on his watch:
In the bleakest days of the financial crisis in 2008, the Bush administration got Congress to approve a $700 billion government bailout fund: the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
By the time Geithner took office, billions had been handed out to the biggest banks. Many were considered at risk of failing because of their huge investments in subprime mortgages that were souring.
Opponents charged that TARP, a taxpayer-funded bailout, let banks evade responsibility for reckless gambles. Geithner countered that the banking system had to be stabilized. The bailout was deemed necessary to get credit, the essential lubricant for an economy, flowing again.
In the end, the banking system was bolstered with the help of TARP and a separate Geithner initiative requiring the largest banks to undergo "stress tests." The tests calmed investors by showing that the banks could withstand an even worse downturn.
TARP distributed $245 billion to banks. So far, it's brought back $268 billion for a return of $23 billion.
Critics argue that under Geithner, the government failed to ensure that banks would use their TARP money to lend more to businesses and homeowners.
Geithner's approach won't prevent future crises, opponents further argue. They say big banks still feel free to make risky bets because of an implicit guarantee: that if their gambles fail, the government will save them, and the banks' executives won't be held accountable.
"Secretary Geithner protected the interest of the largest financial institutions, and we will pay a very heavy price for that," said Neil Barofsky, who was the government's top watchdog for TARP.
Many private economists are less critical. They say Geithner achieved the fundamental goal of stabilizing the U.S. financial system without damaging the economy.
"The effort was a success and vitally necessary for ending the Great Recession and starting a recovery," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.
Geithner and the administration endured intense criticism for giving bailout aid outside the banking system to American International Group.
The insurance giant represented everything the public detested about the government bailouts: Its rescue was the costliest at $182 billion. It spent $440,000 on spa treatments for executives only days after its rescue. It gave millions in bonuses to top executives, including those who'd made the risky bets that had unraveled AIG.
Geithner, who led the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before heading Treasury, was involved in the decision to save AIG in September 2008 and oversaw its bailout as Treasury secretary. Some of the rescue money went to fully repay banks that had invested in AIG. Critics called this a giveaway to banks that should have had to accept less than full payment.
Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have said that letting AIG fail would have threatened the entire U.S. financial system, in part because of AIG's outsize role in selling credit default swaps. These swaps were insurance-like guarantees on mortgage bonds. They required AIG to pay billions once the housing market went bust.
Supporters note that the government ended up profiting on its investment. AIG has repaid all the bailout money, and the government made $22.7 billion more than it provided.

This Frontier Needs Heroes Share 'Hooky' Album of Lushly Psyched Americana
Brooklyn brother-sister duo approach mortality with romance and depth
Brad and Jessica Lauretti are This Frontier Needs Heroes, a New York-based brother-sister duo who spangle heartfelt Americana with psychedelic brightness and lyrical levity. Their forthcoming album, streaming below, is aptly titled Hooky — these eight songs are ear-worms in their own right, even though they're the stuff of deep ruminations and loving assembly.
The wistful bliss of the titular opener recalls Grandaddy and vintage Flaming Lips in parts (and let's not overlook that slight touch of Pixies in Jessica's backing vocals) while Brad's lines tell their own inspiring story: "Let's go to Disneyland, throw ourselves in the sand / Maybe we should start a band / It only takes five strings ... to jam!" While "Down on the Farm" dwells in mortality and melancholy, a certain romance prevails.
Hooky is out Tuesday, August 27 courtesy of the band's own damn selves. They do, however, get by with a little help from their friends: O'Death's David Rogers-Berry (drums) and Robert Pycior (violin), The Blank Tapes' Matt Adams (electric guitar), Golden Boots' Nathan Sabatino (organ), bassist Turner Stough, and sitarist Arvid Smith. Listen to the glorious sum total of their efforts below.

I've played several games with Ezreal and find him a lot of fun to use. He's great at harassing the enemies in a lane and can be quite powerful. I'm pretty new to him though, and still need a lot of work with landing his skill shots. My question is this: what is Ezreal's role? I've laned with others (early game) who complain that I'm not 'helping them farm' because they jump in the middle of Heim and Teemo (or Rammus and Teemo, in another instance) and get killed. I usually use Mystic Shot + auto attack to try and help my teammate, but they usually end up dead. I'm not sure whether I should have done something different, or whether it was just a bad move on their part. Also, what are the advantages to AD, AP and hybrid Ezreal? I usually build AD because it's recommended in the guides I've read, but I'd like to better understand the different builds.
Senior Member
Ezreal is kind of a carry. He could fit in the bill of a soft carry but he can't carry as well as true ranged carries. Ezreal should take solo mid unless you can't help it. He needs the level advantage and needs a lot of gold to remain effective into late game. Not to mention, you can snipe people off from mid lane and there is no pressure for you to look after another human being. It's definitely the most ideal lane for Ezreal because Ezreal's no babysitter and can handle solo lane effectively. If you are forced into a sidelane, try your best to balance last hitting and aggressively harrassing especially if you are up against a squishy. Some laning mates will think ramboing the enemies is effective, thinking you'll be right behind them. I just let them die unless I think there is a chance we could kill the enemy. If you blindly follow your teammate just because he jumped in, it might end up being a double kill for the enemy. Always make sure both of you are communicating and coordinating proper attack. The worse kind is the kind that complains that you are hogging up their farm. Well, herpy derping do, that's what happens when you lane with a champion who belongs in solo mid. Now, you shouldn't literally steal their creeps (You can tell which one they want because they'd be circling around it waiting for it to go low on health). Just make some kind of agreement with them. You could only go after caster minions and let your partner get the melee. Either way, try to avoid side lane altogether unless your partner is a babysitter like Soraka or Janna. AD Ezreal is simply better because his autoattacks become strong and he can make use of his passive well with it. With the recent change to his ultimate, there is no reason to go with AP. AP Ezreal can get powerful with the right items but he's an even worse farmer than AD Ez so he takes a looong time to get strong. Same problem with hybrid, except hybrid really doesn't do anything well.
Thank you! c: Actually, I don't think they were complaining that I was hogging up their farm. I think they were complaining that I was apparently 'useless' for not keeping them alive.
Start w/ blue stone 2 pots, get lucidity, get sheen, triforce that ****, then stack bloods. gg
Emissary of the League
Well, your job as a 'carry' isn't to keep your team alive, it's to kill the enemy. While this has a bit of carry over (if you kill them faster, they're more likely to stay alive), your teams survival isn't your priority. Tanks, supports, soaks, beefs, and even just those with CC are responsible for your team's survival.
Alright. Thank you.

John Cage's 4'33 remains a much talked-about, but misunderstood piece. Some people see it as a joke. My Italian friend Renzo Pognant told me about a performance of 4′33 in Torino, where the audience literally went crazy when nothing was being played – there was a riot in the theater. Some think, in a rather scholarly fashion, that it relates to silence, a known Cage interest. But what the piece accomplishes is actually much deeper and more radical. It questions the formality of performance in Western music. In many other cultures, music happens in real life, not on stage. Maybe 4'33 is all of the above, but I would hate to see that last aspect ignored. Why do I think of 4'33 now? Because we need revolutionary works. Because there is a judge who sentences minor offenders to weird and unusual punishments like sleeping in a park. Because we could soon be going back 50 years in the women's right to choose.

Good morning everyone! I met a nice blogger in my recent blogging e-course, Aga from Passion Shake, and she told me about an apartment that she recently styled for her client in Italy so I asked if she wanted to share the space on decor8. I like the bathrooms and overall clean look to it – lots of IKEA stuff since it's a "show home", very simple elements, but the condo looks nicely styled and since this is what she does for a living, I thought it would be good to share some work from her portfolio. This is Agata Dimmich, from Poland, working in Italy in her client's space below.
Aga loves to create and style spaces that feel personal,"I like white, neutral interiors as a background for displaying personal objects, design pieces, art and details, which I believe make each space special and unique. To me home needs to reflect personality of the people, their lifestyle and passions. When designing and styling apartments for sale, I often imagine the fictional potential, future home-owners – who they are, where they work, what they love to do in their free time, what they eat, what souvenirs they bring from their holiday, what they wear and what are their secrets and then I create the space around the image I have in my mind. It's so much fun, almost like directing a movie!". I like her approach, don't you?
This was her moodboard for the space – her starting point…
Her client wanted the space to have an Autumn mood, be black / white / brown and needed the style to be modern yet inviting with a touch of vintage flair. Here are the results below. What do you think?
From her blog, Passion Shake, to her work, her passion is clearly decorating. I asked her why and she explained that she is a visual person and, "I would be happy to spend my entire life just staring at pretty things but it is much more fun to play with them and see how they can transform four walls into a beautiful and inspiring space. Once I start decorating, I can't stop, I keep on decorating and redecorating and it gets really addictive. I love to see the final effect, when all the elements come together, as a complete visual story." Decorating for many years, she's been collecting magazine clips for her handmade "decorating diary" and then, practiced applying what she saw into the rooms in her own home.
B/W Decorating Tip: Black and white interiors can quickly feel cold and are often said to lack character but with plants, fur throws, warm wooden furniture and accents, woven baskets and flowers, a monochromatic space can become quite cozy while still remaining minimalist and modern.
Thank you Aga for sharing this space!

Hello friends! Do you remember how I recently blogged about how I needed something to lightly frame my windows and provide some warmth at night? Well I went for it, I ordered new Belgium-grown flax linen drapes, also woven in Belgium, then sewn to my specs thanks to the lovely Trisha at Barn & Willow and her artisans who did a gorgeous job on my massive windows and double doors leading out to the wintergarten. I can't wait to redecorate this room now – so I started with my drapes and I'm going to work from there.
I love how they puddle lightly on the floor and the oyster sheer linen is just gorgeous for letting in light but also, at night, this window becomes a big black box so when I close them, the room is cozy and feels so home-y and nice. I wish I could have taken better photos but the house has been so dark for the past few weeks (particularly in the living room) since winter is swiftly approaching and Germany goes under a blanket of gray from now until next March. Thrilling! NOT! So it's time for candles, good music and decorating the home as this gets me through the dull months.
I love my drapes, don't you? They are just perfect. They don't take away from the gorgeous 115 year old doors and windows and they add a beautiful airy vibe. They looked particularly lovely a few weeks ago when it was still sunny and I opened the doors to let the sunlight and breeze from the forest in. I loved the way the linen danced in the air.
Please note: This post is NOT a paid post but was sponsored by Barn & Willow who supplied the drapes with the agreement that if I liked them, I'd install and if not, they'd be returned – no hard feelings. Lucky for us all, I really love them. I've been looking for the right drapes and these definitely fit the bill. The rod and rings, in gold, were found on Amazon.de – if anyone living local wants to know more, ask me in the comments section and I'll leave the link.

Last we, I gave you a little decorating 101 with 8 Easy Steps For Planning A Gallery Style Art Wall, part of a series of three posts that I'm working on in collaboration with Minted to inspire all of you to be fearless with art and support independent artists through the purchasing of affordable prints – something I've been promoting on this blog for eons. This is part two and it's all about choosing art for a gallery style arrangement.
Decide on a theme – pick art that works together.
What do you want to say? Think of a vibe, a mood, a style, a theme… For instance, you want this wall to showcase your love of travel. Or maybe it's to display your son's grade school art mixed in with modern art. Perhaps it's black and white photography you've been collecting. Your love of abstract shapes and vibrant color. Whatever it is, try to find something, a red thread, that goes through each piece connecting them in some way. Even if only YOU see the connection, that's okay, but there needs to be some meaning to you on an emotional level because that is why we display things on our wall in the first place right? Because we've emotionally made some connection to it – we like it – whether that be the color, mood, subject matter, whatever… It evokes emotion and that's good. And in addition to emotion, the work as a whole should connect somehow. Like sure, you could display WWII photography alongside your daughter's finger-paints, a standard issue Le Chat poster from your Paris vacay, a snapshot of your poodle, a Monet reproduction and nudes of gorgeous men all together on a dining room wall. I mean, it's your home, your decision (no judgement!).
Does this stuff really work in context, you know? Does it make some sense or tell a story or is everything its own focal point and together, the story becomes terribly muddy or chaotic even (and not in a good way)? Work that doesn't fit together shouldn't be displayed together.
Mix and match.
Art prints, paintings, kids' artwork, Polaroids, photographs, drawings, sketches, personal photos of a family trip. Mix it up and include what fits the story behind this wall of art your are creating. You can even frame precious mementos and include dimensional objects too – like a ceramic tile, a porcelain head, an old mirror.
Decide on frames and mattes.
I'm not that bold with mixing frame styles, but perhaps you are. I like to stick to a few colors (white and natural wood) then through in a few color frames or black or something with a clean slim gold frame, for instance. Also decide on mattes. I think all mattes should be the same color on gallery style walls but then you'll sometimes see a wall that breaks every design rule and it works beautifully. If you have that knack, by all means mix and match. I honestly don't have that knack of mixing matte colors and frame styles and colors with amazing results. So I have a formula I work with and that usually is the one I work with successfully time and time again.
Lose the obsession with frame size.
If it fits on your wall, it can fit the arrangement. Salon style, or gallery style, is generally a really loose casual arrangement of art that grows over time. It begins with some work and spreads over time. That's the beauty of it. If you are obsessed with frames all being the same size and installed in a grid, you're not really a gallery style wall person so steer away from this and try the grid arrangements because they'll ultimately fit your style and make you happier.
Over the weekend I plan to install my art sponsored by Minted, all work that I selected, along with some original paintings I've collected over the years and add a few special bits here and there unframed. Then next week, for the third installment from this series, I'll show you the big reveal on how it all looks on my wall with a shopping list for everything.
A big thanks to Minted for sponsoring my salon style art wall project – I love all of the work that I was able to choose from your shop! Thank you again.

Hello dear friends! This week has been CRAYZEEEE. Really crazy! I mean, beyond crazy! We had our wallpaper finished in the entryway (LOVE) but some needed to be stripped and reapplied because it was installed wonky. Ugh. But it is all set as of today. Plus I've been supah busy with my little boy because he is mega active crawling and practicing his mad walking skillz — we are just a non-stop party here at planet baby from dawn to dusk. AND. WELL…
(There is always an "AND, WELL…" with little ones) Our baby has entered some new stage – it's like BOOM! – he turned 9 months on Sunday and the next day he was having major attachment anxiety whenever we laid him down to sleep at night and during the day, my little scheduled napper (2x a day, sometimes 3!) from the day he came home suddenly turned into I SLEEP WHEN I WANT napper. None of this bothers me, I mean what can you do, he's a baby for God's sake. I can't take away his iPhone or ban him from using SnapChat, so I'm just rollin' with it.
But man, my little dude turned his new age and yowser… It's like HELLO NEW BABY and what did you do with the son I had just gotten used to for the past 9 months?
And there is something else. He is expressing frustration in ways that make me want to laugh really hard. But I don't. But I want to because his frustration is always shown in the most comical ways. So okay, imagine this scenario. Him: Sitting in his high chair eating his carrot puree something or another. Me. Facing him, also seated, making faces, singing songs and coaxing him into eating because suddenly mealtime went from normal eating to let's! play! with! our! food! and! grab! the! spoon! non-stop! Eating has turned into a 45 minute circus and I'm the clown.
There I am feeding him and suddenly with the force of 100 men, he grabs the spoon that I'm using and tries to flip it so the food goes everywhere. What I then usually do, depending on my own schedule, is:
- Option 1. Could care less, let him grab it, throw it, smear it, play with it, whatever. Puree for all!
- Option 2: If we need to leave soon or I have work to get to, I usually
pry the spoon from his hand using the jaws of lifetake it gently out of his hand and try to continue feeding him.
A highly emotional domino reaction usually follows if Option 2 was deployed. First, a long very deep grunt. Then, his face reddens. He sticks his arms straight down and makes very tight fists. His grunt gets more intense and deeper. A moan. A bit intimating honestly. He stares into my eyes. His eyebrows go dark red. He wants the spoon back – he did not like that I took it from him. He is literally turning into the Incredible Hulk. I wait for his buttons to fly off his shirt.
The whole time I want to burst out laughing (it's super cute watching all of this because there is clearly no reason to express so much emotion) but I need to respect his emotions because it feels wrong to invalidate him. So I just talk him down out of his tree in my gentle mommy voice, remain caring and sweet and change the subject. Usually he'll move on quickly shown by laughing at nothing in particular or planting big wet kisses all over my face.
This has to be a stage. Right? Or is he a teenager trapped inside of a 9 month old body? But wow, baby emotions are something else. Intense. And also very hard to make much sense out of.
Yeah so because his sleep schedule has changed and because I have so much stuff already going on in my life (new book deal I'm negotiating, house redecoration project, tons of work stuff, wrapped up my current 4 week long Blog Boss e-course today with 400 students (!), prepping for 5 business consults next week) it really is bonkers crazy here. Which is why I went missing on decor8 this week.
But you know something that is funny about all of this baby stuff? I don't mind it now that the sleepy swaddled child changed into an energetic fireball that is apparently a very passionate little person. And I swear I'm not playing Pollyanna to save face nor am I secretly smokin' funny things in the laundry room so I can fool all of you because truth be told some days I'm like SERIOUSLY? This? Again? But through it all I am learning a lot about myself (I'm a damn patient women and a really committed, good mother, a surprise to me because you never know what kind of mother you will be until you have a child)… I also love having this little boy to care for – my little son – because it's rewarding and gives me yet another wonderful thing to live for — another reason to get up, work harder, be better. I like the "crazy" in it all. I like that there are new emotions in our home, this new energy, so young and spirited. It's nice to have a little challenge, some friction, a new opinion around here to shake things up and bring in a fresh new perspective. I've always loved having change and movement and zeal in my life and now I do. An 80cm tall tornado.
See you tomorrow, I'll be back to blogging regularly again.
By the way moms out there, is all I just talked about a 9 month old thing?

- 1 cup snipped chives
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted green or brown olives
- 3/4 cup pure olive oil
- Four 6-ounce skinless black cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 8 inches from the heat. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the chives and spinach and blanch for 30 seconds, just until bright green. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze dry. Transfer the chives and spinach to a blender. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and puree until smooth. Season with salt.
- Rinse out the saucepan and fill it with cold water. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and cut them into thin coins.
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the olives with the pure olive oil. Microwave at high power in 2-minute bursts until the olives are golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes depending on the microwave. Drain the olives and transfer to a paper towellined plate to cool. Reserve the oil for another use.
- Place the cod on a foil-lined baking sheet, brush with the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Broil for about 10 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and lightly browned on top; transfer to plates and spoon the potatoes alongside. Sprinkle with the olives, drizzle the chive puree all around and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Either a Champagne or a Sauvignon Blanc will go well with this dish.

As completely inexperienced but having read way too much on the interwebs, why don't you get the basic Noveske for 1500 and add a Wilson Combat battle trigger for 275. That leaves you with enough to try to find an ACOG on sale and hit your 3k figure.
Slwarren SHTF and a lot of rounds through. Tanktop What's up with the Wilson trigger?
Thanks tanktop. I have heard LWRC is good, but nobody seems to own one. Lots of people own Noveske. Would you say they are equal, or Noveske is the best in your opinion? Is a Stag LPK good?
Noveske Rifles now come with an ALG ACT Trigger as standard.

I'd be looking at a solid AR with top notch optic and an additional upper in 300 Blackout or 458 SOCOM. Second option: AR and safe full of ammo.
I vote LMT. Thousands of rounds not one hiccup!
BRD gives everyone the ability to tell you that a particular rifle is "better" than the rest. it's really gonna be what you prefer, and believe me, THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OUT THERE THAT QUALIFY TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS! buy 1, upgrade it, and buy ammo with the rest of your $$$.

LWRC is delivering many to the sand, in the hands of our troops. I think that qualifies as hard use. I haven't owned one, but the little I have handled them, they seem to be pretty impressive in quality.

I've changed my Virtual Hosts around... http://lfs.jenacon.net which used to mirror test.lfs.org will now be the mirror for our current web, and http://twiki.jenacon.net will mirror test.lfs.org. The DNS has to propagate for twiki.jenacon.net, so it should be live in a day or two. This command should work nicely, synching only files that have changed and excluding any .svn directories (it's all one line, ignore the word wrap): rsync -aq --exclude=".svn" '/home/httpd/www.linuxfromscratch.org' jenacon.net::lfs Obviously you could replace the local dir and the server. The 'lfs' part of the server address means the directory & options specified by 'lfs' in the rsync.conf file on the mirror. We'd probably want to make that the same for each mirror, if possible. You could also change the option --exclude=".svn" to --exclude-from=FILE where FILE is a file that contains a list of items to exclude. So, I've already done the first sync with http://lfs.jenacon.net - check it out. ;) -- Jeremy Huntwork http://www.jenacon.net

Duchamp, Marcel 1887-1968Overview

Most widely held works about
Marcel Duchamp
Most widely held works by
Marcel Duchamp
Unpacking Duchamp art in transit
by Dalia Judovitz
10 editions published between 1995 and 1998 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,970 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Perhaps no twentieth-century artist utilized puns and linguistic ambiguity with greater effect - and greater controversy - than Marcel Duchamp. Through a careful "unpacking" of his major works, Dalia Judovitz finds that Duchamp may well have the last laugh. She examines how he interpreted notions of mechanical reproduction in order to redefine the meaning and value of the art object, the artist, and artistic production. Judovitz begins with Duchamp's supposed abandonment of painting and his subsequent return to works that mimic art without being readily classifiable as such. Her book questions his paradoxical renouncing of pictorial and artistic conventions while continuing to evoke and speculatively draw upon them. She offers insightful analyses of his major works, including The Large Glass, Fountain, and Given: 1) the waterfall, 2) the illuminating gas

Marcel Duchamp : work and life
by Marcel Duchamp
22 editions published in 1993 in 4 languages and held by 923 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Marcel Duchamp
by Dawn Ades
4 editions published in 1999 in English and German and held by 885 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Genius, anti-artist, charlatan, guru, impostor? Since 1914 Marcel Duchamp has been called all these. No artist of the twentieth century has aroused more passion and controversy, nor exerted a greater influence on art, whose very nature Duchamp challenged and redefined as concept rather than product by questioning its traditionally privileged optical nature. At the same time, he never ceased to be engaged, openly or secretly, in provocative activities and works which transformed artmaking procedures. Written with the enthusiastic support of Duchamp's widow, this is one of the most original books ever written on this enigmatic artist, and challenges received ideas, misunderstanding and misinformation."--Jacket
Marcel Duchamp : the art of making art in the age of mechanical reproduction
by Francis M Naumann
9 editions published in 1999 in English and German and held by 736 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Examines how appropriation and replication were essential to Duchamp's art and disscusses the significance of the many replicas that he created or authorized
Avant-garde experimental cinema of the 1920s and '30s
4 editions published in 2005 in English and Multiple languages and held by 695 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Originally produced as individual silent motion pictures in France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States, these twenty-five short films epitomize the avant garde movement of the 1920's and 1930's. The films are drawn from the collection assembled by Raymond Rohauer, one of the nation's foremost proponents of experimental cinema, founder of the Hollywood Film Society, and longtime programmer at the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles. Rohauer helped preserve and promote avant-garde cinema, and these films from his personal archive are some of the most influential and eclectic short films made during the 20th Century
Marcel Duchamp, the bachelor stripped bare : a biography
by Alice Goldfarb Marquis
3 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 544 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Marcel Duchamp: The Bachelor Stripped Bare is not the first full-length biography of Duchamp, but it is the first to present him in all his human contradictions and to take a refreshingly objective look at his real contribution to twentieth-century art. The well-known facts are explored here: Duchamp's myriad personal relations (with family, lovers, collectors, and artists ranging from Man Ray, Picabia, and Breton to the Stettheimer sisters and the Arensbergs); the creation of major works such as the "readymades" and the Large Glass; his passion for chess and presumed abandonment of painting. But beyond this, Alice Goldfarb Marquis looks past the diffident, humorous mask that Duchamp wore with friend and acquaintance alike, to explore the passions and insecurities that motivated many of his artistic and personal evolutions. And she separates the artist from the con artist, to determine just how profound an influence Duchamp has been."--BOOK JACKET
Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp --in resonance
by Joseph Cornell
15 editions published between 1998 and 1999 in English and German and held by 519 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "This book chronicles the friendship and working relationship between Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) and Joseph Cornell (1903-1972), two of the twentieth century's most innovative and influential artists. Joseph Cornell/Marcel Duchamp...in resonance publishes for the first time the Duchamp Dossier (c. 1942-53) - a hitherto publicly unknown collection compiled by Cornell and discovered in the artist's estate following his death in 1972. The small objects, typed and handwritten notes, and ephemera found within the Duchamp Dossier provide an absorbing record of the interchange between these two artists, which included Cornell's assisting Duchamp on the assembly of his edition de ou par Marcel Duchamp ou Rrose Selavy (commonly referred to as the Boite-en-valise)." "Both artists were intrigued by the connection between art and the found object, and they shared a fascination with replicated images and the processes of reproduction. They had parallel interests in optical devices, ephemeral mediums (such as glass, dust, and paper), filmmaking, and graphic design. The book focuses in depth on Duchamp's box editions and Cornell's often neglected "explorations," arranged files of printed matter, notes, and ephemera related to individuals or specific themes."--BOOK JACKET
Marcel Duchamp

15 editions published between 1973 and 1989 in English and Undetermined and held by 493 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Drawing on art : Duchamp and company
by Dalia Judovitz
5 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 493 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This volume explores the central importance of appropriation, collaboration, influence, and play in French artist Marcel Duchamp's (1887-1968) work -- and in Dada and Surrealism in general -- to show how the concept of art itself became the critical fuel and springboard for questioning art's fundamental premises. Duchamp was a French artist whose work is most often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. The author maintains that rather than simply negating art, Duchamp's readymades (Duchamp's "readymades" are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art") and later works, including films and conceptual pieces, demonstrating the impossibility of defining art in the first place. Through his readymades, Duchamp explicitly critiqued the commodification of art and inaugurated a profound shift from valuing art for its visual appearance to understanding the significance of its mode of public presentation
Debating American modernism : Stieglitz, Duchamp, and the New York avant-garde
by Debra Bricker Balken
6 editions published in 2003 in English and held by 466 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "From the crossfire between Marcel Duchamp and Alfred Stieglitz and their respective circles there emerged what Debra Bricker Balken calls "a critical reformulation of modernism, one that imprinted the direction of subsequent American art." Balken traces the fascinating threads of the debate between Duchamp and Stieglitz and their respective camps through the 1910s and '20s, and also addresses the sexualized imagery that appears in nearly all of these artists' works, a phenomenon that ironically unifies the two seemingly opposed factions. Jay Bochner provides an absorbing analysis of the artists' respective violations of American expectations about art." "Debating American Modernism includes reproductions of work by artists from both factions, from Arthur Dove, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Paul Strand to Man Ray, Francis Picabia, and Marsden Hartley, as well as by a group who melded the concerns of each, among them, Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, John Storrs, and Stuart Davis."--BOOK JACKET

This actually makes a lot of sense and would result in a more accurate election, if the congressional districts were drawn in a fair manner, which they typically are not. Which ever side is in power tends to rig the districts in their favor.
There is really no reason why we couldn't have direct elections at this point. The technology is there, but the political will isn't, because allowing direct elections removes most of the politicians control over the process.

»River Street
River Street runs through the historic district and the riverfront. If you walk down the street you can get to know the different districts while admiring the historical buildings and landmarks. The cobblestone River Street in the riverfront district is also the home of the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the monthly First Saturday Arts and Crafts Festival. This street also provides great shopping stores and restaurants.
»Church of the Cross
The Church of the Cross is a modest building which was erected way back in 1857. Spread across an area of 1.3 acres (0.53 hectares), it is made with the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture. The church has gone through a lot of changes in the past, but has kept its structure and beliefs intact. The church is fully functional since its birth and continues to hold services and ceremonies to keep the community well knitted. Weddings, baptisms and all other religious practices are conducted by the church. Many other casual events are hosted to bring the neighboring communities together. The exteriors of the church have an archaic feel to it, thereby reminding us of the era it belongs to. The interiors are calm, soothing and serene to the mind and soul.
Savannah is the colonial capital of the state of Georgia. Playing host to around a thousand events each year, the city draws tourist in large numbers from all around the world. Over the past decade, Savannah has significantly contributed towards the promotion of tourism in Georgia. Historic buildings and landmarks, zoos, museums and aquariums are tucked in every corner of the city. Major attractions include the Reynolds Square, the historical cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Sorrel Weed House among others.
»Heyward House Historic Center
Located in the Bluffton Historic District, this Carolina farmhouse on a bluff overlooking the May River is one of only eight antebellum homes that remain after the Civil War. Today it is a combination museum and visitor welcome center. Docent guided tours are offered Monday through Friday 10a to 4p and on Saturday 11a to 2p. It remains virtually the same as it was over 100 years ago, with an intact kitchen and slave cabin. Maps of the complex and downtown district are available for self-guided tours. -Natasha Lawrence
»First African Baptist Church
Founded in 1773 by Georga Liele, the first Baptist in Georgia, this church remains the oldest Black church in the U.S. Once part of the Underground Railroad, it has served as home to the congregation ever since. Participants in the early Civil Rights Movement in Savannah held weekly meetings at the First African Baptist church, and the church remains an important part of African American history in Savannah, Georgia, and the U.S. A unique feature of the church is its collection of stained glass windows depicting African American subjects.
»Christ Church
Founded in 1733 at a location determined by General James Oglethorpe as part of the original Savannah settlement, the present building is the third one constructed (the previous two having burned down). A one-story church with a raised basement, it features an impressive Greek Ionic portico. Its third rector, the Reverend John Wesley, published the first English Hymnal in America in 1737. This was also the parish home of Juliette Gordon Low who founded the Girl Scouts in 1912. With two organs from England as part of its impressive musical program, the church offers concerts, orchestral performances, hand bells, and choirs which are often comprised of singers from citywide churches. Visitors are welcome to tour the beautiful church or attend services. - Natasha Lawrence
»The Pirates' House
The Pirates' House is one of the most famous tourist attractions and restaurants in Savannah. Dating back to 1753, it is believed that it is Georgia's oldest surviving building. It originated in the 1730s as a garden which grew mulberries, peaches and the famous Georgia cotton. The original structure was constructed as a gardener's Herb House in 1734, and as Savannah morphed into a sea town and port, the building was refurbished as a tavern for sailors voyaging from faraway lands. Just like numerous buildings in the city, the tavern is replete with trap doors and secret tunnels. Soon, it became notorious for the baffling disappearance of seafarers, who were thought to be tortured and murdered, shipped off to China or coerced to join a pirate's ship. Today, this attraction is a restaurant serving quintessential Southern American food and boasts 15 historic dining rooms. The Treasure Room and Captain's Room contain historic sheets from one of the first editions of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. Locals believe that the fabled Captain Flint was in fact a real character who died within The Pirates' House and his ghost still haunts the tavern. For the best experience, head here on a guided tour or during the Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, where actors stage a dramatic play and diners are asked to solve a mystery that involves multiple murders.
»Broughton Street
Although not as popular as River Street, Broughton Street has its own charms. With beautiful surroundings, plus wonderful stores and restaurants, you'll be sure to have a good time. Make sure to stop in the beautiful and expensive Wonderful Things.
»Owens-Thomas House
Since 1992, Savannah's Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences has pursued an effort to preserve and completely restore The Owens-Thomas House, circa 1819. The granddaughter of longtime owner Congressman and Savannah Mayor George Welshman Owens donated the house and its contents to the art museum in 1951. Now, as a gallery of period art and furnishings and classic architecture, The Owens-Thomas House is open for visitors to enjoy.
»Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace
This stunning home is where the Juliette Low founded the Girl Scouts and held many early Girl Scout meetings and adult trainings. Dating to 1821, the house is an interesting blend of Regency architecture and Victorian-style additions. The tour includes a memorial to Julliette Gordon Low and a Girl Scouts museum. Visitors are advised to inquire to confirm operating hours.
»Colonial Park Cemetery
Owned and operated by the City of Savannah, this six-acre public cemetery is the oldest intact municipal cemetery in Savannah (and existed before the Bonaventure Cemetery that was made famous in the novel, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil). Originally known as the Old Cemetery, it served as the public cemetery from 1750 to 1853. Among the notables buried here are Revolutionary War hero General Nathanael Greene, Button Gwinnett, one of the three Georgia signatories to the Declaration of Independence, and General Lachlan McIntosh who led troops in the 1779 Battle of Savannah. - Natasha Lawrence
»Historic Railroad Shops
This National Historic Landmark site is home to the only preserved railroad shops complex and roundhouse of its size. The brick industrial buildings, constructed in the mid 1800s, are a testament to the importance of the railroad to Savannah and the U.S. The 125-foot tall smokestack that still stands is very impressive. The giant turntable still works, and the collection of locomotives and railroad cars, many of which have been fully restored and are operational, are often rolled out and moved.

Hackney weed
Rachel Whiteread's golden foliage at the Whitechapel Gallery.
Rachel Whiteread's golden foliage at the Whitechapel Gallery.
by Alice Gribbin Published
My local swimming pool had to overcome two big nuisances to become, once again, the cheery place for an outdoor dip (whatever the weather). In the summer of 1997, 300 leaflets were circulated around the east London borough of Hackney calling on volunteers to help "hack down the Buddleia Jungle that is now strangling the Pool". Over three weekends hundreds of London Fields locals dug and shovelled, swept and shredded – filling multiple skips, they'd have you know – to reveal, under a decade's worth of rubbish and weeds, the capital's only Olympic-sized lido.
By August the following year squatters had moved in, setting up camp in the changing rooms and having raves in the deep end. And the buddleia never truly left; remaining root stumps regrew and the gentle green fronds made their home again alongside and among empty cans. That plant, known colloquially (and when it resides in a garden) as the butterfly bush, is a common sight all over the east of the capital.
Introduced to the UK from China in 1890, it was some of the first greenery to grow up in bomb sites following the Blitz – leading the Museum of London to call it the city's most iconic plant. The wind-borne seeds will grow happily out of any crack, typically peaking, then reaching and before long waving out of canal walls, rail embankments and disused building facades. The endless redevelopment of east London neighbourhoods has seen buddleia largely vanish from many of these public spots (Shoreditch hosts pop-up shops rather than shrubs; the lido is a treat for local bathers once again) but it still holds a special significance to the area.
And the plant is now being celebrated in a wholly lasting way by a long-term resident. In a new artwork – her first permanent public commission in the UK – Rachel Whiteread has nodded to what she dubs "Hackney weed" in a frieze addition to the Whitechapel Gallery. It's a gorgeous thing of many parts: terracotta window reliefs (characteristic of the Turner Prize winning-artist) are surrounded by golden tendrils and leaves in the previously empty 8 by 15-metre space above the entrance archway. There may never be butterflies up there – but there'll be no beer cans, either.

(Politico) - Bo, come out, come out wherever you are! America needs to see more of you. That's the opinion of Kathleen Kinsolving, the author of the new book, "Dogs of War," which looks at the pooches of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Gen. George Patton and Dwight D. Eisenhower. "I don't think he gets as much attention as Barney and Miss Beazley," said Kinsolving, referring to the previous administration's dogs. "I think they need to think of something for Bo to do, like the way the Bushes had the 'Barney Cam.' Barney was featured on magazine covers with Laura Bush. I think the Obamas could include Bo more." Besides providing first families with magazine covers and cute photo-ops, dogs can also serve presidents within the walls of the White House. Discussing the dogs of Roosevelt, Patton and Eisenhower, Kinsolving said, "I really think that these three dogs played an instrumental role in helping defeat Hitler." Huh? "These animals are incredibly beneficial to humans as a stress reliever," said Kinsolving. "Can you imagine the stress and pressure those leaders were under? It's great to read about powerful leaders having a soft place in their hearts for their dogs and how that helped them run the country even better." Problem is, presidential dogs today just ain't what they used to be. "We're living in a very divisive time in our country, politically, and I just thought that, with World War II, the country was more unified," she said. "It was the greatest generation, and i just thought this would be a nice respite for people, that they could go back and enjoy some nostalgia." Even though the selection of presidential animals, nowadays, seems to be preceded by their own political focus groups, Kinsolving says that modern pets just can't hold a candle to Roosevelt's. "Fala is considered the most famous of all the presidential pets," said Kinsolving. "He has a statue erected at the FDR Memorial!" Trackback(0)

All-female sect worships Vladimir Putin as Paul the Apostle
Vladimir Putin has become the object of veneration for a bizarre Russian all-female sect whose followers believe that the tough-talking prime minister is a reincarnation of the early Christian missionary Paul the Apostle.
Members of the sect that has sprung up in a Russian village some 250 miles southeast of Moscow believe that the 58-year-old macho Russian politician is on a special mission from God.
Reports from the sect's headquarters close to the town of Nizhny Novgorod say that its members are all women who dress like nuns and pray for Mr Putin's success in front of traditional Russian Orthodox Church icons that have been placed alongside a portrait of the Russian prime minister himself.
Followers are reportedly encouraged to sing upbeat patriotic Soviet songs at 'services' rather than hymns.....

ABA: Lawyers can scour jurors' websites
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lawyers have been given the green light to scan the social media sites of jurors.
The American Bar Association says it's ethical for lawyers to scour online for publicly available musings of citizens called for jury service — and even jurors in deliberations.
But the ABA does warn lawyers against actively "following" or "friending" jurors or otherwise invading their private Internet areas.
Though judges now universally admonish jurors to refrain from discussing trials on social media, the nationwide lawyers group for the first time is addressing how deeply attorneys, their investigators and their consultants can probe for information that might signal leanings of potential jurors, or unearth juror misconduct during trials.
Jurors' online postings have disrupted many legal proceedings over the years, causing mistrials and special hearings over the effects of Facebook musings, tweets and blog writings about their trial experiences. Lawyers and judges have also been wrangling over how far attorneys can go in assembling a jury with help from online research of jurors' social media habits.
A few judges have denied lawyers permission to research social media sites as overly invasive while others have allowed it.
One company has gone so far as to develop a software product that promises to create a juror profile through social media posts and monitor jurors during the trial.
More rowers rescued in Calif.-Honolulu race
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter on Sunday plucked from the Pacific Ocean a rower who was participating in a race from California to Hawaii, the second time in a 24-hour period that authorities were called to help during the inaugural 2,400-mile competition.
A solo rower was hoisted from his boat to a helicopter at about 2 a.m. PDT after capsizing several times in rough seas about 50 miles west of Morro Bay, California, the Coast Guard said. Organizers identified the rower as Jim Bauer, who the federal agency said was in stable condition. Bauer called the Coast Guard with a satellite phone, and his boat was equipped with a satellite tracking beacon.
"A lot of planning was involved in this particular rescue, due to low visibility and challenging weather conditions," said Lt. Cmdr. Blake McKinney, a Coast Guard pilot based in San Francisco who was involved in Bauer's rescue.
The rower was well-equipped for the Great Pacific Race from Monterey, California, to Honolulu, filing a float plan, bringing a satellite phone and ensuring he had appropriate gear for the rough seas, McKinney said. Those preparations "increased his chance for survival," the official said.
The Coast Guard also conducted a rescue on Saturday morning. A crew of four rowers reported their boat was taking on water about 75 miles west of San Luis Obispo, California. Conditions were too rough for a sailboat serving as the race organizers' rescue vessel to pick up the rowers.
The Coast Guard responded, and a rescue swimmer was lowered from a helicopter to the rowboat. Three rowers were hoisted into the helicopter before it returned to land to refuel. The aircraft then returned to pick up the remaining rower and rescue swimmer who had stayed with the boat.
None of them required hospitalization.
Race organizers say just seven of the 13 entrants remain in the Great Pacific Race, including a single solo rower. The rest of the participants are either in pairs or on rowboats manned by four people.
"It's one hell of a human challenge," said Chris Martin, an organizer.
Martin said he has rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean and from Japan to San Francisco as part of a pair, which inspired him to organize the race.
Organizers and rowers have been preparing and training for two years for the amateur race, including obtaining a marine event permit from the Coast Guard, Martin said. He said organizers and crews spent two weeks inspecting boats, equipment and participants.
A "number" of larger boats are following the rowers and are prepared to rescue them if need be, Martin said, adding it appears the rowers have made it through the bad weather and rough seas.

In 1987 the peripatetic Livingston moved to Coconut Grove. A year later he put 11 of his true stories -- including the Christmas song, the Julia Tuttle tune, and his tribute to armadillos -- on a cassette titled Florida Rain, which he hopes to release on CD soon. In 1996 he released the album The One That Got Away, featuring more tales of South Florida life. Among the characters percolating in his mind, waiting to have their stories told in music, is the slave-pirate Black Caesar. Livingston knows that, in the same casual way he fell into his current career, he will write the song eventually -- when he comes across the right mix of words and music.
These days Livingston is known among the folk crowd as Florida's historian in song, a title the basically lighthearted musician takes rather seriously. "You have an extra burden when you're writing historical songs, because you have to tell the truth," he says. "I can't say Henry Flagler was an airplane pilot because someone is going to say no. In one sense it makes your life easier because you have something to start with, and in another way it makes it harder because you have to convey facts. But there is something essentially more interesting about telling a true story. What I do has a lot to do with the words. If you're not listening to the words, you're not getting it. It's not just the sound. Sound is important, but words are primary.
