Nightranger Goes Gaga for Comedienne Nadya Ginsburg (+ Hilarious Gaga and Madonna Impersonations)
We've known of self-proclaimed "edgy, Jew-Talian Tracy Ullman" style comedian/singer Nadya Ginsburg as part of a posse of pals and performers around Los Angeles that includes club king/actor Mario Diaz (Full Frontal, B.F.D), song parody/comedy queen Jackie Beat and burlesque star/reality fave Selene Luna (The Cho Show), but we'd never seen what she could do solo until this past weekend.
After catching her uproarious one woman show, "Nadyalogues" at the Gay & Lesbian Center in Hollywood this past Saturday, we have to say, we heart her like Madonna hearts Kabballah or Britney hearts Mickey D's. In other words, we're gaga for Ginsburg.
From her mirthful original characters such as "Babka" (a Russian bikini waxer and lounge singer) and "Belinda The Vampire" (a guidette vamp/metal chick/cocktail waitress) to her spot-on impersonations of pop divas including Spears, Madonna, and Cher (all of whom are portrayed in Ginsburg and photog Austin Young's video series, The Worm) this girl's got it.
Wigs and makeup help with each transformation, but it's Ginsburg's gift for dialect and diction that truly make her become these fabulous icons. Her Maddy in particular is perfection, meshing the material girl's nasally pitch, subtle English enunciations and melodramatic pauses. She got the vox too, as she showed on Mz. M's imagined soon-to-be hit, "Vaseline the Lense," also seen in the video below.
Ginsburg's queer following is not surprisingly, huge, so an interpretation of gay idol du jour Lady Gaga, was inevitable. And it's gotten her the most press ever. "Al Roker Face" (first clip), a parody of "Poker Face" all about the Today Show host and weather man has garnered tens of thousands of Youtube views and even scored her an appearance on Today with Big Al himself interviewing.
Check her website for all the giggle-inducing, glam-goddess goodness. Pics from her show --which included choreographed song and dance sequences-- in our Nightranger slideshow this Friday.

DiarioSport says Real management have grown tired of Robinho's antics off the pitch, including his time spent away with the Brazil squad.
Some at Real have likened Robinho's behaviour to what Antonio Cassano was getting up to before he was jettisoned to Sampdoria last year and are pushing for the Brazilian to be sold in the summer.
The winger made his first team return against Murcia last weekend, but produced a flat performance. Interestingly, Wagner Ribeiro, Robinho's agent, held talks with Real sports chief Pedja Mijatovic about a new contract two weeks ago, but left Madrid empty handed.

Carabuena arraigned for direct assault a year after slapping MMDA traffic enforcer
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines — The motorist who was caught on video, a year ago, berating and then slapping a traffic officer of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) who had flagged him down for a traffic violation, was finally indicted on Thursday, for direct assault, in a Quezon City court.
The arraignment of Robert Blair Carabuena pushed through after Quezon City metropolitan trial court branch 42 Judge Juris Dilinila-Callanta denied a pending request of the defense to postpone the proceedings.
A much slimmer Carabuena pleaded not guilty to the charge of direct assault on an agent of a person in authority while the alleged victim of his attack, MMDA constable Saturnino Fabros, watched intently from the front pew of the court.
Carabuena contested the criminal information, which accused him of attacking Fabros by hitting the MMDA officer several times with his own hat then slapping him on August 11, 2012.
During the arraignment, Carabuena's lawyer Susana Grace Ojeda immediately asked the court to resolve Carabuena's request for reconsideration on the charge filed against him and reset the arraignment.
The motion for reconsideration had been filed by the defense after Callanta previously issued an order denying Carabuena's bid to have the charges against him dropped.
In the nine-page June 18 order, the judge had ruled that the criminal information is sufficient, saying, "Complainant (Fabros) is a traffic constable. The information sufficiently alleges that the accused (Carabuena) knows him to be an agent of a person in authority while the latter was engaged in the actual performance of his duties. At this very early stage of the proceedings, it is of no moment yet whether such knowledge on the part of the accused is true or not. It is a matter of defense which can only be threshed out in full-blown trial on the merits of the case."
She further stressed that Fabros' status as a person in authority would be a "matter of defense that can only be determined during trial on the merits."
During Thursday's proceedings, Callanta again junked the defense lawyer's bid for a reconsideration stating that no new argument was raised in the "rehashed" request, which she had already thoroughly discussed in her appealed order.
She likewise took into consideration the prosecution's remark that the proceedings have already been "delayed for a long period of time" and ordered that the arraignment continue.
Interviewed after the proceedings, a smiling Fabros said that he was glad that Carabuena had already been arraigned. Asked if he still harbored ill feelings against the accused a year after the incident, Fabros replied, "Not so much anymore. But I will still pursue the case against him."
The direct assault charge against Carabuena stemmed from an August 11, 2012 incident where he allegedly attacked Fabros at the intersection of Capitol Hills Drive and Katipunan Avenue in Old Balara.
The incident was caught on phone video, which went viral on the internet after it was uploaded and was featured on August 14, 2012, in a news and public affairs show aired over TV5.

Thanks mrd33ds.
Apologies for my absence lately, I've been spending a lot of time painting miniatures. That and school/work have kept me from drawing much (excuses excuses, I know).
Anyway, I've started a fairly in-depth study of human anatomy. This is partly for school and partly for artistic purposes. I'm slowly working my way through this anatomy textbook, taking notes and drawing pictures as I go.
I'm starting with the axial skeleton... first of all, the skull

Today's not-so-serious drawings from imagination. If these taught me anything, it's that I still have a lot to learn.
Some profile practice and a dude jamming with a boombox (I was listening to rap, heh). The most glaring problem with him is the way his shirt folds.. I need to study fabrics big time.

I removed the fabric softener dispenser, removed the cover under the dispenser, exposing the bolt that holds the agitator in place. Removed the bolt and then lifted out the agitator. The top of the agitator had four four fingers with teeth that were completely worn off. The kit included new fingers and the ring assembly that holds the fingers in place. I popped the new fingers into the ring, replaced the old ring with the new one, and put the agitator back into the machine.The repair was quick and simple. Everything was included in the kit (except for a small amount of lube needed for the new O-ring seal). It took me longer to find the silicone lube in my tool box than to do the repair!The washer is back to normal and working great.

Lucena City politics starts to seethe
Rivals in 2013 mayoral race came near to blows at party for teachers
LUCENA CITY—Newly installed Lucena Mayor Rhoderick Alcala and former Mayor Ramon Talaga Jr. nearly came to blows on Thursday in front of public school teachers.
The two were stopped from actually trading punches by cooler heads.
Witnesses interviewed by the Inquirer said Alcala, who was just installed mayor earlier that day, came invited to the Lucena Teachers and Employees Convention being held at Quezon Convention Center.
He was with his wife and his Liberal Party (LP) councilor candidates.
Tension rose after Talaga and his wife, just ousted Lucena Mayor Barbara Ruby Talaga, who were also invited to the affair, arrived an hour later, said the witnesses, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation from both politicians' groups.
Early in the day, Alcala took his oath as mayor and formally replaced Barbara. Last week, Barbara lost her appeal in the Supreme Court against a ruling that unseated her due to an
invalid candidacy.
Ramon Talaga, a member of the United Nationalist alliance, and Alcala (LP) are now both running for mayor of this city in next year's elections.
"We all became uneasy," said one teacher, recalling the tense scene between Ramon and Alcala.
"Both camps tried to be civil despite moves not to bump into each other while table-hopping," said another.
"But it was obvious that the teachers were having more fun with former Mayor Talaga because he was throwing money for us to grab and sponsoring games with cash prizes," said one teacher.
Trouble erupted later when Alcala and his wife were dancing together with some teachers. At this juncture, Ramon spoke in the microphone and announced a dance contest for the city's four school districts.
"While former Mayor Talaga was making the announcement, the band stopped playing which was wrongly interpreted by Mayor Alcala as ordered by his political foe," said one teacher.
The teacher said Alcala grabbed a microphone and angrily told the Talaga couple to stop interfering in city government affairs because they are no longer in power in the city and that Barbara had not been legally elected.
A still fuming Alcala told Inquirer as he was leaving the convention center on Thursday that he felt insulted when Ramon ordered the music to stop while the teachers and other officials were dancing.
Alcala claimed that Ramon tried to assault him but was prevented by some teachers.
Ramon denied the assault allegation. "Why would I do that in front of the teachers? I only attempted to get his microphone to answer his tirades that my wife was not elected. He was the one who was not elected," he said by phone yesterday.
Fear of shooting
The teachers said some of them ducked for cover for fear that shooting would erupt between the armed security escorts of both politicians.
Alcala was not on the list of guest speakers at the convention as indicated in the printed program. The listed speakers included Quezon Gov. David Suarez, the Talaga couple and Dr. Aniano Ogayon, city school superintendent.
"The affair was actually an advance Christmas party and farewell by [Barbara] Talaga. It was supposed to be a happy occasion but was dampened by the intrusion of Mayor Alcala and his candidates," a teacher said.

Rising Diamond Hook File
Price: $9.95
Loosing fish because ones hook is not sharp enough is no way to enjoy fishing. Diamond grit grooves are what sharpen hooks the best, that is why we have two on the MD grit side. We also round the corners on both ends so it doesn't inadvertently snag or tear pockets, and added a nice bright leash so it's easy to find.
Sharpen Your GameWith a 4 in. diamond coated hook and knife file, MD grit side has double grooves for efficient sharpening. When sharpening the hook, always start with the MD grit side (the side with two grooves). Hold the hook flat in the bottom of the groove, and pull from one end to the other a couple times. Then flip over the file and do same thing once on the fine grit side. Test to see if hook is sharp enough on your fingernail, if it sticks easily it is, if not go back to the MD grit side and pull the hook along the length of the groove at an angle - lean the hook into the side of the groove, one pull on the left side, one on the right, and the last right down the middle. Then back to the fine grit side and test again.

Another power disconnection notice to Olongapo City
OLONGAPO CITY—The state-run Private Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (Psalm) has asked the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) to disconnect this city from the Luzon power grid due to unpaid debts amounting to P5 billion.
In compliance with the directive, the NGCP, which operates the country's power transmission system, advised the city government that it would disconnect power at noon on Wednesday. It did not do so, however, when Psalm earlier issued a disconnection notice on June 25.
Mayor Rolen Paulino said the city would appeal the decision of Psalm, a government agency tasked with selling assets of the National Power Corp. (Napocor) to the private sector.
Last week, the city council approved a debt restructuring plan that was different from the draft agreement between the city government, as represented by then Mayor James Gordon Jr., and Psalm.
Paulino said the council approved the release of P20 million a year to the agency and
P2 million a year to pay the city government's debts to San Miguel Energy Corp. (SMEC), energy arm of San Miguel Corp.
"We're also asking Psalm to give us time to assess, whether this P5-billion debt is real and how [it was incurred]. We also have to know whether Olongapo has the financial capacity to pay the debt," the newly elected mayor said.
Emmanuel Ledesma Jr., Psalm president and chief executive officer, informed Gordon and the city council on June 18 that the city government had until June 25 to settle its obligations that had gone up to P5.082 billion as of May 31, before it cuts Olongapo's power supply.
City officials said the debt included the accumulated arrears of the police, public schools and other facilities administered by national government agencies. Gordon said the amount ballooned due to systems losses and interests arising from the unpaid obligation.
Gordon had presented to the council a draft restructuring agreement to settle a portion of the debt from the sale of the Public Utility Department (PUD), which used to distribute electricity in the city.
PUD was sold for P610 million to Olongapo Electricity Distribution Co. Inc. (OEDC), which was given a 25-year franchise to take over the city's power distributor.
Records showed that the council had allocated P500 million from the profits from the PUD sale to settle a portion of the city's debt to Psalm. At least P50 million has been set aside for retiring PUD workers and another P60 million to pay Olongapo's debts to SMEC.
Jose Abaya, OEDC president, confirmed the NGCP notice of power disconnection. "But NGCP knows [the PUD] had been transferred to the OEDC and recognizes the complexity [of the issue]. Psalm may request [for the disconnection] but it will be NGCP to decide whether to disconnect [power in the city] or not," he said.
Napoleon Viterbo, head of the NGCP district that covers Olongapo, confirmed that power supply would be cut off by Wednesday noon.
Abaya said it would be up to Psalm to see if the payment arrangement under the city resolution for debt restructuring is acceptable. "If it's OK, then they can withdraw the request for disconnection," he said. Robert Gonzaga, Inquirer Central Luzon

The U.S. Supreme Court saved the best for last, as it is poised to take on its most controversial cases in the coming weeks. The first case on deck is Shelby County v. Holder, which will reexamine the constitutionality of Voting Rights Act.
While the Court's grant focuses on issues related to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, seven constitutional scholars have argued in an amicus brief that the Court should also consider Congress's broad power to regulate congressional elections under the Elections Clause of the Constitution.
The Election Clause, which can be found in Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution, provides:
The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.
Thus, the elections scholars argue that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are not and have never been the sole source of Congress' authority for Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Rather, the Elections Clause offers clear authority for Congress to oversee how states implement federal elections. As the brief highlights, "The Framers' principal purpose in adopting the Elections Clause was to empower the federal government to prevent efforts to undermine or corrupt the elections process for federal officials."

Auditor probing Pearce backs WiltonVermont Press Bureau | October 22,2012Joe Juhasz, the deputy auditor assigned to oversee a probe into Treasurer Beth Pearces oversight of the state pension system, made a financial contribution to Wendy Wiltons campaign last month.
Juhasz on Friday confirmed the donation and said hes a longtime Republican whos also written checks this year to Republican candidate for auditor Vince Illuzzi and Republican candidate for governor Randy Brock.
Pearce, the Democratic incumbent, and Wilton, her Republican challenger, have locked horns this fall in what has become one of the more contentious races for statewide office.
Juhasz, who gave $200 to the Wilton campaign on Sept. 13, said his support for the Republican wont in any way color his inquiry into Pearces management.
In a letter to Republican Auditor Tom Salmon earlier this week, Wilton campaign manager Bradford Broyles accused Pearce of inadequately managing overtime expenses associated with the Retirement System Re-engineering Project.
Wilton has said that the 3,000 hours racked up by a single employee over the last three fiscal years are of particular concern.
Pearce has said that the overtime expenses were offset by savings from a position she opted to leave vacant. She said her office has come in $500,000 under budget in the two years since she was appointed to the post.
According to a piece by Anne Galloway on the Vermont Digger website, however, Pearce neglected to mention that the overtime costs were being paid for with special pension funds not part of the treasurers general fund budget.
According to Galloway, special-fund spending under Pearce has increased by about $325,000.
Pearces camp said the Wilton allegations are groundless, calling them election-year politics at its worst
Juhasz said hes unconcerned about even the appearance of a conflict of interest as he investigates Wiltons claims. He said Salmon is aware of his political contributions.
I said we will do what we always do send a letter of preliminary review, Juhasz said. And then the normal process is to ask some questions so we understand what the issues are.
While hes been responsible for overseeing the inquiry, Juhasz said he wont be part of the five-person management team that decides whether to launch a formal audit based on Pearces response.
I have no way of assessing whether the charges made in the complaint have any validity or not, Juhasz said. So the first thing we want to do is educate ourselves about the project and how the costs are allocated.
Pearce wont be required to deliver responses to the inquiry until after Nov. 6.

As part of its annual convention last Tuesday evening, the union representing Vermonts nurses invited candidates for political office to share with its membership their health care priorities.
The Vermont State Nurses Association drew several statewide hopefuls to the event, including Randy Brock, Cassandra Gekas, Bill Sorrell, Jack McMullen and Steve Kimbell?
Kimbell isnt running for office, of course. But the commissioner of financial regulation has apparently assumed a role as political surrogate for Peter Shumlin.
It was after normal working hours and the campaign asked me if I was available and I said yes, Kimbell said.
Kimbell said he checked with state lawyers first to make sure its OK for him to stand in at candidate forums on behalf of his boss.
Apparently, if youre a state employee, what you do on your private time in the political world is your own business, Kimbell said.
Kimbell, former principal at the Statehouse lobbying firm KSE Partners (it was Kimbell Sherman Ellis until he left), is no stranger to politics. And while he has since made the leap to government service, Kimbell says navigating politics remains a key component of his role as one of the administrations point-people on health care reform.
This is the true blending of policy and politics, Kimbell said of his role now. Thats always been true of health care, of major education finance. I dont think of one world or the other as bad or good. Theyre just different worlds, but they overlap.
Since assuming his Cabinet-level position in the Shumlin administration, Kimbell said hes seen political support for single payer strengthen, in spite of efforts by opponents like Randy Brock.
I know everybody thought that health care reform was going to be a big issue in this campaign, Kimbell said. But I dont think there was much traction to be had, particularly when the U.S. Supreme Court let the air out of the hopes of folks who thought they would strike down the law. What Im sensing is people are now in the frame of mind of, lets quit arguing about it, lets do it.
After helping shepherd the single-payer law through the Legislature in 2011, will Kimbell be staying on for another two-year tour with Shumlin, assuming the incumbent gets the nod from voters Nov. 6?
Thats not my call, Kimbell said. The governor has been really good about telling people to hang in there and after the election well talk about who will be where.
But, if hes asked to, will Kimbell stay on?
I will certainly think about it long and hard, Kimbell said. Then Ill sit down with my family, and talk about what makes sense.

For the first time in a long time, Peter Shumlin is paying to get on TV.
Owing to his role as governor, the first-term incumbent enjoys pretty frequent face time on network television already. Beginning late last week, he complemented that earned media with a $125,000 ad buy that, according to campaign manager Alex MacLean, delivers a positive message of Gov. Shumlin getting tough things done.
They highlight the fact that together with Vermonters, hes balanced two tough budgets without raising broad-based taxes, created thousands of jobs, and helped Vermont recover from Irene in less time and less money than anyone imagined, MacLean said last week.
The Brock campaign, meanwhile, last week began airing the last of a three-part ad series aimed at undercutting support for Shumlin. After hitting him on jobs and single payer, Brocks team this time is trying to label Shumlin as a tax and spend Democrat.
Shumlin this fall has been eager to talk about his record on taxes. He recently told members of Associated Industries of Vermont theyd be hard-pressed to find a more fically conservative candidate than himself, R or D.
According to a mass media report filed with the secretary of state, the Brock campaign also spent about $5,000 on a statewide fundraising mailer that will look to use an anti-incumbent message to raise money, something thats proven difficult of late for the Republican incumbent.MORE IN Vermont NewsCOLCHESTER Vermont will spend more than half a billion dollars during the upcoming fiscal year ...

Alberto Callaspo's two-run double with two outs in the 11th decided a pitcher's duel with a 3-1 victory for the Angels over the Oakland A's Wednesday.
Following up on the combined one-hitter by C.J. Wilson and Ernesto Frieri Tuesday night, Weaver allowed just three hits in eight innings. But one of those hits was a solo home run by A's outfielder Seth Smith and tied the game at 1-1.
It was the 11th time since 2010 that Weaver has gone at least seven innings and allowed no more than one earned run -- and walked away with a loss or no decision.
The A's didn't have another hit after Smith's home run in the sixth inning.
The Angels got little going against A's starter Jarrod Parker. He didn't give up a hit until the third inning when the Angels scored their only run on a two-out, RBI single by Maicer Izturis (snapping a 1-for-20 stretch for him).
Kole Calhoun (making his first major-league start) doubled into the left-field corner in the fifth inning for his first major-league hit but was stranded there. Albert Pujols and Kendrys Morales had back-to-back singles with one out in the sixth. But Pujols was thrown out trying to go from first to third, short-circuiting that scoring threat.
That wasted opportunity loomed large as the game headed into extra innings. But Kendrys Morales drew a one-out walk off A's left-hander Jordan Norberto in the 11th and pinch-runner Peter Bourjos went to third base on Howie Kendrick's two-out single up the middle.
Callaspo fell behind in the count against Norberto but fouled off three pitches with two strikes on him before evening the count at 2-and-2 and lining the game-winning double to left.
Ernesto Frieri struck out the side in the 11th for his first major-league save. He has 19 strikeouts and no hits allowed in 8 2/3 innings since he was acquired from the Padres.

In a gap of five days, prime minister Narendra Modi has denounced communal violence twice. Speaking from the ramparts of Red Fort on the Independence Day, he sought at least a ten year moratorium on caste and communal violence for the country's progress.
Modi's unscripted speech espoused unity, brotherhood and peace, as it did last Saturday while addressing the BJP's national council. But, just two days ago the BJP fielded hardliner Yogi Adityanath to participate in a debate on communal violence in Lok Sabha. The tenor of Adityanath's words were apparently not in sync with prime minister.
Party sources who denied a disconnect or double-speak between government and party, said the Gorakhpur MP was politically countering the Congress allegations of riots after BJP came to power.
The prime minister refrained from political bellicosity or jingoism in his first Independence day address. "We see violence on the basis of religion and caste. How long? Who is benefiting? We have fought enough, killed enough. If you look back, you will find that nobody has gained anything.... It took us to even Partition..... I appeal that for the sake of country's progress, there should be a 10 year moratorium on violence, at least for once, so that we are free from these ills. We should have peace, unity and harmony. Have faith in my words. If we give up the path of violence and adopt the path of brotherhood, we will make progress," he said. Modi asked the youth who have taken to terrorism and Maoism to give up the gun and take the plough.
Hailing the speech, party chief Amit Shah said it was a day of pride for the BJP to see one of its workers unfurl the national tricolour.
"Atal Bihari Vajpayee also hoisted the flag as a BJP worker. But the difference between him and Narendrabhai is that the BJP government has a majority," he said.
Senior party leader LK Advani, who followed the tradition of unfurling the flag at his residence, said, "I am happy that our prime minister decided not to deliver a written speech, but to speak extempore, its impact has been good."
Parliamentary affairs minister Venkaiah Naidu said the "heart-to-heart speech will inspire and motivate people of the country to connect with each other for making and moving India on the path of unity, integration and development."
Just six days ago, at the BJP national council met to ratify Shah as party president, Modi had said "a single instance of violence is unacceptable to BJP because we believe that peace, unity and brotherhood are essential pre-conditions for growth and, so, there will be no compromise on this. However, those who suffered massive defeat have not learnt."
The remarks came at a time when Congress was alleging increase in riots, insisting on a discussion on it. During the debate on Wednesday, Adityanath had said, "Hindus, when threatened, must be prepared to organize themselves and fight back."
There was unease in certain quarters of BJP about the content of Adityanath's speech at a time when the prime minister was following the slogan of "sabka saath, sabka vikas", sources said.

3" x 3" Brazilian Orchid Pillar Candle 1 1
Poor scent throw. This candle was pretty and burned somewhat well, although the melt pool was less even than I would have liked. The main fault of this candle was that the scent throw was virtually nonexistent. You would need to hold your nose directly above the flame to smell anything; even after letting it burn for over four hours the candle did not scent my room at all. This was very disappointing, because the cold scent was very appealing and unique. February 2, 2015

Celtics game cancelled, Bruins postponed
More News from Agence France-Presse
BOSTON – The Boston Celtics regular season-ending home game on Tuesday against Indiana has been cancelled after deadly explosions rocked the Boston Marathon, the NBA announced Monday.
The game, which was set to be played at the downtown Garden arena just blocks from the site of the blasts, would not be re-scheduled, the league said.
The move follows the National Hockey League's decision to postpone Monday night's contest between the Boston Bruins and the Ottawa Senators.
"The NBA expresses its sympathy to all those affected by the tragedy in Boston earlier today," the NBA said in a news release.
Miami Heat star LeBron James tweeted Monday that he was thinking about those affected by the blasts.
"Prayers goes out to those involved/hurt in #BostonMarathon," tweeted James.
NHL officials said unlike the Celtics' contest, the Bruins' home game would be rescheduled at a later date.
"The National Hockey League wishes to express its sympathy to all affected by the tragic events that took place in Boston earlier this afternoon," the league said.
The Boston Red Sox's home game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday morning was not affected. The Red Sox had beaten the Rays 3-2 before the twin blasts caused chaos in the city, killing at least three and injuring scores of others.
"Very sad to hear the news coming out of Boston," Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino said on Twitter after the team had travelled to Cleveland. "Horrific. My thoughts and prayers to all those involved."

Jason Oliver Nixon & John Loecke
"This fetching drinking set makes us think of Fred and Ginger sashaying by in the film Top Hat with Busby Berkeley-style dancers doing all sorts of over-the-top synchronized swimmer-like moves in the distance. Frankly, if I downed enough martinis from these Deco-driven cocktail classes I am sure that I, too, could I do everything that they did backwards and in high heels. Heres a set of six glasses, three Lucite cocktail tools, a glittering ice bucket, a shaker, and a totally fetch black metal tray.
John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon are the dynamic duo behind Madcap Cottage, their Brooklyn-based interior design firm. Known for their whimsical use of color and pattern, the Madcap gents scour the world for eclectic finds that capture their unique and gimlet-eyed view of the world. Imagine a British country house that pairs Grannys antiques and a spirited dash of chinoiserie chic with a side of Moroccan marvelous and Indian lan. If you are looking for beige and boring, says Jason, go bark up someone elses tree.

TravelPod Member ReviewsRed Roof Inn Cleveland East - Willoughby
I stayed 10 days at the Red Roof Inn at Willoughby, Ohio and found it to be a mixed bag. I arrived around 10:30 on the evening of the 7th Jan to receive a verging on rude and decidedly un-helpful reception from the night receptionist, to the point that, had I not already paid for 4 nights and it being 10:30pm on a very cold night, I would have walked out and gone elsewhere. Thankfully, I almost had no further contact with this person (but the two further times I did, I received no better attitude either time - a terrible person to have in customer service). Thankfully, the day time reception staff were far better to deal with. The house keeping staff were also a mixed bag - most were very good but one of the staff in particular barely seemed to know how to re-make a bed. The finished 're-make' was barely better than if I had just pulled up the sheets!! From a room point of view - there are three levels of rooms and I chose the middle 'Superior' option which included a bar fridge and microwave. The room was a good size, well appointed with good sized desk included, good bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. The only other issue I had staying at this hotel was the fact that every 4 hours, I had to log back in to the Wi-Fi, which was a pain to do, often necessitating a reboot to clear whatever was preventing me from re-connecting. Had it not been for, particularly, my experiences with the night reception person, but also the poor housekeeping skills of one of the staff, and the Wi-Fi headaches, I would have rated this with an extra star.
