Today's column continues our review of SB 1196, which became effective July 1. The column focuses on changes involving fire safety and elevators.
The issue of elevator retrofitting in condominium buildings has been a "hot button" issue for the past couple of years. Because of changes in the building codes, many condominium associations were being required to spend significant funds to upgrade their existing elevators.
SB 1196 provides some relief by amending the law to state that building code changes which require the addition of "Phase II Firefighters' Service" on existing elevators may not be enforced on elevators in condominiums for five years, or until the elevator is replaced or requires major modification, whichever occurs first. This extension of time does not apply to a building for which a certificate of occupancy was issued after July 1, 2008.
Significantly, not all required elevator upgrades are addressed by this legislation. The five-year extension of time is limited to the addition of a Phase II Firefighters' Service, which is a system that allows a firefighter to operate an elevator during a fire, using an emergency code while inside the elevator car.
Another change in the law involves generators for elevators. The law previously required that any person, firm, or corporation that owns, manages, or operates a residential multifamily dwelling, including a condominium, that is at least 75 feet high and contains a public elevator, shall have at least one public elevator that is capable of operating on an alternate power source (i.e., a generator) for emergency purposes.
SB 1196 permits condominium associations to opt-out of this requirement by a vote of a majority of the voting interests in the affected condominium. Further, the law altogether exempts buildings that were either under construction or under contract for construction as of Oct. 1, 1997, from the requirements for an alternate power source (i.e., a generator).
Moving on to the subject of fire safety, SB 1196 provides that a condominium, cooperative, or multifamily residential building that is less than four stories in height and has a corridor providing an exterior means of egress is exempt from installing a manual fire alarm system as required in Section 9.6 of the most recent edition of the Life Safety Code adopted in the Florida Fire Prevention Code.
With regard to fire sprinklers, another hot button issue, SB 1196 extends the deadline for sprinkler retrofitting for high-rise condominium buildings from 2014 to 2019. By Dec. 31, 2016, an association that is not in compliance with the requirements for a fire sprinkler system and has not voted to forego retrofitting, must initiate an application for a building permit for the required installation demonstrating that the association will become compliant by Dec. 31, 2019.
Prior law prohibited high rise buildings from opting out of fire sprinklers for common areas and required the opt-out vote for units/apartments to be approved by two-thirds of all voting interests. The new law provides that associations may opt out of retrofitting for the units and the common areas by the affirmative vote of majority of all voting interests.
Also, if there has been a previous vote to forgo retrofitting, a vote to require retrofitting may be called for by a petition signed by ten percent of the voting interests. Such a re-vote may take place once every three years.
The underlying requirements for existing high rise buildings to retrofit is found in the National Fire Protection Association code. Under this code, buildings must be equipped with either a fully automated sprinkler system, or an Engineered Life Safety System ("ELSS"). The new law removes the references to an ELSS opt out vote.
The Legislature also adopted HB 663 during the 2010 legislative session. HB 663 also has an effective date of July 1, and addresses a number of other fire safety and building issues impacting condominium associations. Significantly, HB 663 repeals the law that was adopted a couple of years ago which required condominium buildings 3 stories in height or higher to have a physical inspection report prepared every 5 years.
HB 663 also permits building owners to install a uniform lockbox containing keys to all public elevators, in order to allow access to the lockbox by emergency responders. This provision will eliminate the need to re-key all of the elevators so as to allow access by a master key.
Next week, we will continue our review of SB 1196 with a brief overview of the "Distressed Condominium Relief Act", which is a new law intended to stimulate the acquisition and sell-out of the many distressed condominium projects which exist because of the recent melt-down in Florida's housing and real estate market.

Brendan Gouin is a friend of Pat Fenelon from RI, which makes him a-ok in our book. He recently sent some links to various skate videos he'd made, most of which included some fancy trickery and neat-o shots. With full intention of posting this one, I clicked over to Brendan's Vimeo and found something better! This video of Saara. As a girl who occasionally dabbles on a skateboard, I am well aware of the fascination that comes with a girl who drop in, ollie, or really do anything at a skatepark other than scam on HOT GUYZ. So I posted this one instead. Saara — if you come to Portland hit me up, I know all the good 2-foot mini ramps!

this is degrading to women everywhere.
i just threw up in my mouth
women suck
I knew I should've turned back as soon as I saw this was a girls vid. IMO it would have been better if it ended with the wreck segment
Put a ramp in the kitchen then we will talk
Yeahhhhh killing the 2 foot mini, women's skating is like women's snowboarding, funny at first than really embarrassing
kind of a joke, same trick over and over…
you wanna hear a joke?…. womens sports
bears can smell the menstruation
Read the comments before I watched the video and thought all you guys were dickheads… I just watched it and now I would like to retract my previous statement
i like it brooke. way fun to watch.
Hey douchebags,
Watch this before you make any definitive statements about girls skateboarding.
She could kick any of your faggot snowboard asses any day.
Interesting comments.
woah marisa del santo rips. and so does saara, i'll spread the love.
But, i hate how dudes always ask why women's sports are behind mens and then turn around and brutally hate on female athletes. Those two attitudes are related. Its hard for a girl to come up in a sport that is a male-dominated realm, physically, visually, verbally and emotionally. You need to stop hating and start encouraging women and girls to get involved and stay involved. Otherwise, you're just another misogynistic jock.
this is the only way girls should be involved in boardsports….
I don't hate on women in men's sports. I think they'll be great once they learn how to ollie. Until then though, there's no denying that watching 90% of womens skate/snowboarding is much like watching a bunch of 8 year old boys try to rip
would ya rather have a girl whos out there trying shit not afraid to fall, or a fake tan omg my nail just broke hoe? cmonn dudes stop hatin on chicks that are killin it

9cRA is more effective than atRA against 6-OHDA –mediated neurodegeneration in VM TH neurons. (A) Primary VM neuronal cultures were treated with either 6-OHDA (100 μM) or saline for two hours and then were treated with either 9cRA or atRA (50 nM). 9cRA, compared to atRA, is more potent in protecting against 6-OHDA –mediated loss of TH cells). (B) 9cRA (50 nM) is significantly effective than atRA (50 nM) to increase survival of TH cells after lesioning with 6-OHDA (100 μM). The density of TH (+) cells was normalized to the cell density in the non-6-OHDA and non-9cRA (vehicle) -treated group. More TH neurons survived after treatment with 9cRA+ 6-OHDA, compared to atRA + 6-OHDA (*p<0.001).

Lil' Flip To T.I.: 'If You Make A Leprechaun Mad, You Gonna Feel The Wrath'
T.I. Starts 'Filet Mignon' Beef With Lil' Flip At Birthday Bash

— by Shaheem Reid
T.I. thinks he has the trump card. Just a few blocks away from Atlanta's Georgia Dome, the down-bottom MC is about an hour away from heading to the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre for his first public appearance in months, and has assembled his 40-person crew outside the offices of his Grand Hustle record company. He can't wait to play his hand — you can see it in his face, you can hear it in his voice. The card that T.I. is going to pull tonight is not one you would see those card sharks on high-stakes TV poker playing with, however — he's going to try and pull Lil' Flip's playa card.
T.I. — who's called "Tip" by everyone close to him — and members of his Pimp Squad Click are holding up old publicity shots of Lil' Flip dressed in a leprechaun outfit. One picture has Flip holding a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal, the other one has Flipper in a fighting stance. Both flicks have been blown up to poster-size and copied several times.
T.I. disses Lil' Flip
live from Atlanta's 107.9 "Birthday Bash 9"
"We got a sucker MC, you understand, that chose to join us at the party," Tip, flanked by, of all people, Kyle Norman of Jagged Edge, says like a wrestler giving a backstage interview before the main event as his boys hold up one of the comical Flip posters. "Don't think you safe, shorty. Understand that the game ain't over till I unplug it."
The Bankhead, Georgia, native is speaking with the confrontational fervor of Tupac as he stands in the parking lot filled with Hummers, Escalades and Denalis.
"Understand that I got the plug, shorty, and next time you say you the king, you need to know where you coming from,"
he continues.
"Next time you try a G shorty, you need to think twice. I'm comin' for you, dawg. I'm after your Lucky Charms, sucker!"
Now how could the mild-mannered Flip — a man who has gotten love from such ATL artists as Bone Crusher, the Oomp Camp, Ludacris and DTP, Lil Jon and Pastor Troy — put the Rubber Band Man in such a ferocious tizzy? It all depends on who you believe.
T.I. says he heard from several sources, and even has a tape, of Flip dissing him at a few A-town concerts. Flip's alleged treason supposedly happened when T.I. was locked away in jail earlier this spring. Rap's leprechaun is said to have asked different audiences who the king of the South was before telling the crowd to inform hometown hero T.I. that "the game was over." T.I. says he heard this was followed by the Houston freestyle king performing "Game Over."
T.I. live from Atlanta's 107.9 "Birthday Bash 9" photos
"That ain't even my style," Flip says about the accusations, which he flatly denies. "I got too many hits to perform to get onstage to start dissing a n---a. The n---a is crazy."
Regardless of whether T.I. was misinformed or misconstrued Flip's words on the mic, the lyrical beef is on. T.I. is going to unleash some records about his new archenemy and Flip isn't going to back down either.
Despite his Shakur-esque spewing at his offices, T.I.'s fire seems to be simmering down while traveling to the concert venue ... at first. He teases a lady named Peaches about her allegiance to Flip when she comes on the bus to say hi to the PSC.
"I'm Flip and T.I.'s stylist, I am not in the middle," she says to the squad, who are all laughing. Her caramel cheeks turn red with embarrassment. "I'm neutral and I'm not in the middle of anything."
T.I., on the other hand, plans to get in the middle of everything tonight. Not only is he performing at the concert, but Flip is as well. T.I.'s goal: to humiliate him.
"Next time you say you the king, you need to know where you coming from."
"I'm even gonna walk out on his show when he does 'Game Over,' " T.I., the night's unannounced headliner, tells everyone. "I ain't gonna make no advances ... unless he does something I don't like. We not gonna be brutes, we not gonna bum-rush the stage."
He later thinks of a better plan of attack. "I'll invite him out to my show," he says.
Before the night is over, Tip did make good on his promise. He brought out the posters of Flip in the all-green outfit, dissed him onstage and even called him out. Flip wasn't allowed to confront his detractor, but he did address the situation two days later in his own hometown of H-town.
"This is the year of the South, what f---ing sense does it make to hate on each other while we getting nominated [for major awards]?" Flip questions. "Why start beefing when we coming up this year?"
Flip isn't the first major heavyweight from the South with whom T.I. has gone back and forth. He's been going at it with fellow A-towners Ludacris and the Disturbing Tha Peace crew for years. Although no names have been officially called out, the two factions have fired several rounds of thinly veiled disses.
"Southern Fried Intro"
(Def Jam)
The loudest salvo came via Luda's "Southern Fried Intro" off the
Chicken-N- Beer
album. A voice, mocking T.I., says "Man! This Disturbin' Tha Peace sh-- gettin' on my nerves ... While he doin' shows, I'm in these
While he on TV, I'm in these
"That's the truth." T.I. responds. "They was on tour, I was in the streets. They were doing videos, I was in the streets. And I'm still here. I ain't trippin' on that. I listen to [his lyrics], he stepped it up. It was good for me to inspire somebody."
The Luda and T.I. "tongue wrasslin' " started years ago when Cris was a DJ on Atlanta radio, according to Tip. T.I. came on his show and proclaimed to be the king of the South. Shortly after his appearance, DTP member I-20 did a drop for the show saying
was the king of the South.
The clash of egos and rhymes was sparked.
T.I. says he was crowned the champ by the listeners and started "rubbing it in" on his mixtapes. DTP would respond, then he would answer back.
"It was like a snowball effect," T.I., whose latest barb against Luda comes as a guest on a Young Buck mixtape song, "Break 'Em Off." "I mean to be perfectly honest with you, that's a perfect example of rap sh--. It's not no real hard cold beef. We run into each other at different parties. We know a lot of the same people. What I was real upset about was that my people and they people were coming together and saying, 'Look man, it ain't no problem, it's all good, its cool.' We did that like two or three times, but every time we do that I was catching wind that there was songs being made about me and stuff like that."
T.I. admits that there is a possibility he could have been wrong about the songs and says he could have been "hot-headed, just reacting off of my temper."
"It ain't no major beef between me and them," T.I. says. "I feel like the media kind of blew it way out of proportion. Right now I ain't trippin' on them, they ain't trippin' on me. It's dead."
So what makes this 23-year-old feel he is the king of the South? Yes, he is a master of lyrics, but plenty of people, like Lil' Flip, will argue that legendary wordsmith Scarface is the king of the South, due to his consistency and longevity. The same can be said about 8Ball and MJG and UGK. If you want to talk about modern-day rappers, Lil' Flip, Ludacris, Outkast and even Juvenile have sold more records than T.I. Other people will argue you up and down that producer Lil Jon should sit on the throne for the third coast because everyone is seeking his wildly popular crunk sound.
"When I made that statement I wasn't necessarily speaking of right then, I was just telling what my intentions were," he explains. "I was telling that I was going to represent the South in a way that nobody has represented it before."
T.I. was also alluding to his skill level in his self-coronation.
"Ain't nobody from down here that's coming out the same time as me gonna be making a hotter album than me," he says. "They ain't gonna be able to out-rap me. That's the standard that I set for myself. I feel that I've met that standard, if not exceeded it. The streets concur. So I'm going to be the king of the South until some young man dethrones me. I don't think there's anybody out right now that's going to do it ... I'm
there's nobody out right now that's going to do it."
NEXT: Becoming a recurring guest of the state was less and less sexy every time T.I. felt the silver bracelets around his skinny wrists ...

A lament for the Earth
Yesterday, I flew over a beautiful, wild landscape – the snow-capped ranges of central Norway. Barren rocky plateaus and melting icy lakes gave way to impossibly deep gorges filled with improbably blue water. It was breathtaking. Yet today I am sad. I am sad that so few wild places remain, where the untouched beauty can […]Read more "A lament for the Earth"

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 - 30 nights
Come throw your cares to the wind. You'll enjoy the solitude of a privately-deeded beach and turtle preserve just a few minutes away following your footprints. Its decor of shabby-chic Bahamian-style mesmerizes, while the home's fully equipped amenities tends to diminish inhibitions, inspiring from sheer relaxation to out right involuntary giggles. Your island getaway features alsoa delightful sun room, living room, and several dining areas, including breakfast nook, formal dining, as well as outdoor sets with an umbrella. The Tahitian and Tiki guest bedrooms, and Sweptaway Master suite bedrooms are all tropically themed. The spacious design includes one full-, one queen-, one king-, and one sofa-bed queen-size beds. The two full bathrooms offer a soaker tub/shower or glass-enclosed rain-shower experiences. Both have stone counters, one having a vessel sink. There's a fun/functional/funky, fully equipped black granite-topped galley kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. Chances are you'll want to eat in at least some of the time, so why not do it in style. Artwork adds more character and pizzaz to the walls throughout. Outside the oversized private, secluded, screen-enclosed, heated* pool is set on a cobble-stone patio with barbecue grill, and plenty of pool toys and floats. Landscaping and a waterfall are an integral part of the picturesque experience. You're invited to spend relaxing moments watching mesmerizinging sunsets or simply sharing Pina Coladas with friends and family. The private pool is secluded, decked out with floats, toys, barbecue grill, lounge chairs, and multiple dining areas. Simply put, the entire house was renovated to captivate your natural instincts in the Treasure Coast's unique beauty, comfort, fun, and ambiance. Your only problem will be that you won't want to leave!
This treasure is conveniently located an hour and a half from either Orlando International and one hour and fifteen minutes from the Palm Beach International Airports. It's 60 minutes from the Melbourne Airport.
Upon moving to Vero Beach with my husband, Harvey, we quickly realized this place was a dream come true. I decided to rent to seasonal visitors and have never looked back. I've met some of the most interesting, colorful people ever and it's all happening in paradise. I developed my beach house with the tropics in mind and created an atmosphere that allows people to transfer themselves in mind/body/spirit so they can feel like they truly escaped. Come visit; you'll be enchanted.
Colleen Rosenbaum purchased this house in 2006
I chose Vero Beach because it was aquatic, tropical, friendly, and beautiful. This house just oozes all of that with style. I couldn't ask for more.
We would recommend this property to anyone and everyone!! The home is every bit as lovely as it looks (probably more so, actually), clean, well-appointed with every convenience imaginable, and one block from one of the prettiest, widest beaches I've ever seen (and I've seen a few!). The beach is also dog friendly before 9am and after 4pm (which we found to be quite generous). The entire neighborhood is quite dog friendly actually. Colleen and Harvey are delightful as "landlords"....probably could be your next best friends. We like to golf and there are 2 really nice public courses within 25 minutes. Bike riding is great (we brought our own and used the two seater in the garage for guests to join us). Vero has plenty of restaurant choices and the overall atmosphere is restful but with plenty to do if you so choose. There really is no 'down' side to renting here and we found the price to be quite competitive. It's a wonderful break from winters up north!!!
The Treasure Lane Beach house was even nicer than the pictures. It's a perfect place to spend during the brutal winter norths back home while also have your grandchildren visit. Plenty of space with everything you could possibly need for the beach and for the kitchen. We especially enjoyed our morning and afternoon walks on the beach with our dog. The neighborhood is super friendly as well.
Our family was in Vero Beach for a Thanksgiving wedding and a group of us stayed at Treasure Island for the week and it was wonderful. The house is beautiful and appeared to have been professionally decorated. As we ate most our meals at home the fully equipped kitchen was perfect. The location couldn't have of been better with the beach being within in a short walk and downtown a quick car ride away. We've already had conversations regarding a 2015 repeat, minus the wedding. Thank you Colleen for making our family feel welcomed.

We have stayed at Colleen's beautiful home twice in the past two years and hoping to go back again next spring!
The house is immaculate and the pool area is like being in a resort. The beach is about a minute walk and is private and peaceful.
The house has every amenity you will need for your stay!
Vero Beach has many great restaurants and shops to choose from. Some of our favorites are Citrus Grill, Maison Martinique, Mulligans is a fun restaurant/bar. There are many restaurants on the mainland that are fabulous as well!
You will not be disapointed with this beautiful property! It is as beautful as the pictures display!!
Thank you, Colleen for a wonderful stay. Close and private beach access. Lovely home with all the amenities. Buffy, our Yorkie-Poo, loved her walks on the beach. Nothing like a swim in the pool to start the day. We'll come back to Vero Beach. Blessings to you.

This casually eco-oriented chic oceanside beach house is tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, just steps from your seductive, private beach. A most charming coastal paradise abounds with activities such as golf, tennis, boating, surfing, fishing, swimming, kayacking, sightseeing, and shopping opportunities to name a few. As a first-rate cultural center, Vero Beach hosts tantalizing theatres, art, comedy and more. Popular venues include Riverside, Lyric, and Sunrise Theaters. There's also ample museums and ecological centers, such as the McKee Botanical Garden, The Vero Art, Mel Fischer's, and Navy Seal Museums. You can search for treasure troves of bounty from the 1715 hurricane's sunken galleons then chill out in one of the many great restaurants, cafes, or pubs. Your adventure can take you trekking through the picturesque seacoast via the on-site bicycle-built-for-2, body board, snorkle, kayack or even by pontoon boat. Ultimately, you may be surprised to fine your hidden treasure was all along right under your own two feet.

Originally written on The Victory Formation | Last updated 11/17/14
Former All-Pro NFL quarterback Daunte Culppeper appears to be just another athlete who has fallen on hard times financially. According to a report in the South Florida Business Journal, the house that Culpepper purchased while a member fo the Miami Dolphins is set to be foreclosed on by the bank: SunTrust Bank (NYSE: STI) filed a foreclosure lawsuit on Feb. 26 against DRKRC Land Trust, Culpepper and his wife. The 9,867-square-foot home at 16730 Berkshire Court in Landmark Ranch Estates is owned in the name of the land trust and the bank alleges that Culpepper is the beneficiary and guarantor. Culpepper purchased the home shortly after signing a free agent deal with the Dolphins back in 2006. Culpepper never experienced the same success with the Dolphins that he had in Minnesota, where he was twice named an All-Pro. If not for Peyton Manning throwing a then-NFL record 49 touchdowns in 2004, Culpepper may have won the MVP award. He led the NFL with 4717 yards passing and threw for 39 touchdowns against only 11 interceptions. He injured his knee in 2005 after only 7 games. His career with the Dolphins was short-lived, just the man who chose him over Drew [...]

13 schools participated in the event and every dish had to include Tyson chicken.
The idea is one of many promotions from OPPA! which provides the school's meals.
Oppa! currently serves as food service manager for over 100 of the 122 Missouri public school districts that use food management services.
Leeann Blue, the kitchen manager at Bode Middle won and says she's excited and still in shock.
"I'm so excited, we're so excited because we had no idea. It was a group thing we'll do this and that and threw in some vegetables to make it healthy," says Blue.
"We're trying to find ideas and ways that are going to help to get kids in the cafeteria to eat better and healthy nutritious meals," says Tonya McCrea, Opaa Food Service Director.
The winning dish was buffalo chicken pizza.
Coaches in the district judged the recipes.
The dishes could be added as menu choices for kids in the district.
The winner will participate in the regional competition later this year.

The radar does not work after last update. It just loads forever and the animated map never moves. Please fix.

I was so in love with this app until the last update. Now when both my girlfriend and I try to put the radar in motion it just sits there trying to load the map but it doesn't load. I sat there for 10 minutes today before I got frustrated and downloaded a different local weather app. Fix the radar problem and you'll get 5 stars from because I loved this app up until a few minutes ago.

MURRIETA: Legal scholars mixed on 'illegality' of measures
Two of three say city could legally enact ordinances reflecting what voters approved
"If they want to say that you can't spend money on road widening, they can do that, too," Eastman said. "And their ability to set a cap on benefits flows from their ability to cap the salary."
Douglas Johnson, an elections fellow at Rose Institute of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College, agreed with Eastman's assessment.
Measure E
Measure E sought to cap the total compensation, including base pay, benefits and all other allowances, to the city manager and his direct employees to 2 1/2 times the median household income.
The cap is not meant to apply to members of the city's police and fire departments.
The ordinance that council members will review Tuesday strays even further from the language of the measure that voters approved.
It excludes any mention of benefits, life insurance or retirement plans. It also has no cap on the base pay for the city manager.
Instead, the ordinance leaves the power of deciding how much the city manager should make in the hands of council members.
Council members would be required to consider various factors, including the value of 2 1/2 times the median household income, when setting that salary.
In writing the ordinance, Morris relied on a state Supreme Court case involving a Manhattan Beach voter initiative.
The majority ruled that the initiative, which mandated that a third-party arbitrator settle negotiations between the city and its fire employees, was not allowed under the rules governing California general law cities.
The ruling stated it was an improper delegation of authority to bring a third party into the negotiations.
Again, Thomas Jefferson dean Joseph's interpretation of the case law left him on the same side as the city attorney.
And he characterized opposing interpretations as purely subjective.
"The only way this (setting salaries) can be done is by the City Council," he said.
In 2009, the city paid a total of $305,000 for City Manager Rick Dudley's salary, health benefits, life insurance, retirement and other allowances.
If the higher figure of the median household income is eventually adopted, the cap that voters approved would cut that total package by $80,000.
However, Johnson, the Rose Institute fellow, found within the same case a reiteration by the court that the public has the right to direct its council in such matters.
He pointed to the Government Code, which states that a legislative body must uphold a voter initiative that grants, defines or limits the power of the City Council. Eastman, too, stressed that the public has the power to control the direction of its representatives.
"That whole case is based on an initiative that would have given the power to an arbitrator, and the court said no, that power belongs with the City Council," Johnson said. "But the last line says the people can take over something from the city council or the Legislature if they want to. The voters really are the legislative authority."
When briefed about the experts' conflicting responses, Murrieta's elected and legal officials said they were not at all surprised.

Takeuchi Seihō
|Takeuchi Seihō
Takeuchi Seihō
|Takeuchi Tsunekichi
December 20, 1864
Kyoto, Japan
|August 23, 1942(aged 77)
|Known for
|Order of Culture
Takeuchi Seihō (竹内 栖鳳?, December 20, 1864 - August 23, 1942) was the pseudonym of a Japanese painter of the nihonga genre, active from the Meiji through the early Shōwa period. One of the founders of nihonga, his works spanned half a century and he was regarded as master of the prewar Kyoto circle of painters. His real name was Takeuchi Tsunekichi.
Seihō was born in Kyoto. As a child, he loved to draw and wanted to become an artist. He was a disciple of Kōno Bairei of the Maruyama-Shijo school of traditional painting. In 1882, two of his works received awards at the Naikoku Kaiga Kyoshinkai (Domestic Painting Competition), one of the first modern painting competitions in Japan, which launched him on his career.
During the Exposition Universelle in Paris (1900), he toured Europe, where he studied Western art. After returning to Japan he established a unique style, combining the realist techniques of the traditional Japanese Maruyama–Shijo school with Western forms of realism borrowed from the techniques of Turner and Corot. This subsequently became one of the principal styles of modern Nihonga. His favorite subjects were animals -often in amusing poses, such as a monkey riding on a horse. He was also noted for his landscapes.
From the start of the Bunten exhibitions in 1907, Seihō served on the judging committee. In 1909 he became a professor at the Kyoto Municipal College of Painting (the forerunner to the Kyoto City University of Arts). Seihō also established his own private school, the Chikujokai. Many of his students later went on to establish themselves as noted artists, including Tokuoka Shinsen and Uemura Shōen.
In 1913, Seihō was appointed as a court painter to the Imperial Household Agency, and in 1919 was nominated to the Imperial Fine Arts Academy (Teikoku Bijutsuin). He was one of the first persons to be awarded the Order of Culture when it was established in 1937.
He initially used the characters 棲鳳 for the first name of his pseudonym, and this name was possibly pronounced as Saihō.

I got this and wear it; it's a nice shirt. But I can't help thinking, shouldn't the sorts be in the order "IH" instead? Would make it at least twice as cool, and I'd buy that one too…
Nice to meet you!
What do you say to someone that you are first meeting! Nice to Meet You! shows two blocks with an H carved out on one and I on the other with a splatter print. This vintage shirt gives you a nice conversation starter!

This shirt is much better in person – very striking. Too bad the picture doesn't do it justice. If you are thin compared to the model, I would not hesitate – it looks awesome on my son – he's 17 and a size small.
you know this whole time i thought those were toasters

The Grammy Problem
Give it to Bon Iver – or rather Justin Vernon, who anchors the atmospheric songscapers. When the big-time network TV folks decided to come up with a way to stage his kind of "obscure music" to the bing-bang-boom conditioned viewership, he balked. If his songs were good enough to help his loose coalition of players earn four nominations – Song and Record of the Year for "Holocene," Alternative Album for Bon Iver and Best New Artist – then he wants his music to stand on its own. Certainly its merits more than carried the Wisconsin-based musician on Saturday Night Live. And regardless of Vernon's long line of collaborators – from Kanye West to the Chieftains, Flaming Lips to Alicia Keys to Kathleen Edwards – that doesn't mean his music should be reduced to an event. No matter how much the 30 second chunks of advertising are being sold for. (Hint: $800,000 each.) Strip everything away, including America's quick-hit, sensational/emotional manipulation, American Idol attention span, and Bon Iver earned their critical mass. With 300,000 copies sold before the Grammy nominations, not to mention Pitchfork's Best Album of 2011 honors, this a bona fide act.
If the Grammys – and their blue ribbon panel that oversees the nomination slate to make sure no more Jethro Tull inaugural Best Heavy Metal wins happen by virtue of an aging voter base – want to use Vernon's music for credibility, then they need to honor his vision. Or acknowledge the Grammy telecast is no longer about honoring music really, but rather creating a television event that uses music to differentiate it from the Oscars, the Golden Globes and the People's Choice Awards.
Because you can't have it both ways.
If you want the cred, know these artists won't be packaged for maximum sizzle. Or admit: this is about sexy television; embrace Stiff Records' sometimes slogan of "Fuck Art! Let's Dance." Just don't play high and mighty, credible and exclusive – and miss the point. Especially when the ballot's engineered for maximum spread and legitimacy.
The impact of the music community's expectations and television's indifference to anything but big stars manifested in "category trimming" that was anything but discerning. Across the board cuts – and yes, perhaps there were too many "pop," "jazz" and "urban" variations – found Country Music collapsed into Solo Vocal and Duo, Group or Event. If the Grammys want to suggest there are not five excellent Male and Female vocalists in the genre… and that's before getting into the fringe beyond mainstream country radio, they're lost. Country's always fielded hardcore singers – and Taylor Swift's awkward Stevie Nicks collaboration aside, still does. And pitting Collaborations, designed for wow! factor over musicality, against working Duos or Groups misses the point. Sugarland builds a body of work against the burden of day-in and day-out, not the gilded moment of two stars colliding. What makes a band or a duo stand out is their chemistry and how it reflects the audience – and not the shock factor of American Idol Kelly Clarkson with hardcore roughneck Jason Aldean.
Country – to NARAS – is a fringe category. Never mind being the largest radio format in America, nor that it routinely puts the most butts in seats of any touring genre. It's not cool; it's lame, so cut it down. Oh, and those hot-shot pickers? Forget their instrumental category. If it doesn't work in Rock, the hillbillies can't have it either. 'Cause all genres are created equal.
That said, the more egregious slight is the seeming victory of the Americana Grammy. Renamed the Contemporary Folk category, it became a catch-all for acts that didn't have a clear category. Rather than create a slate for one of the most artistically vital genres there is, Contemporary Folk became a dumping ground, ranging from the Civil Wars to Los Lobos, Ry Cooder to Carolina Chocolate Drops. All are fascinating, but why are they fighting amongst themselves, when they could – especially with the legend factor of Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, the Band and Bonnie Raitt – easily field a whole slate? Best Male, Female, Duo/Group, Event. Album, Song: no problem.
Argue among yourselves who you'd nominate. It'll be lively dinner table conversation. As the Grammys once inspired. Not about why they are lame, but who was better, who deserved it more. It's important. Especially since this music not only matters, but for these artists, Grammys – and nominations – become a major part of promoting albums, selling tickets and grounding their existence beyond the Learjet and Prevost lanes.

Nice article.
Actually, there's still an Americana Grammy and Contemporary Folk is one of the categories that got eliminated. Traditional Folk and Comtemporary Folk got merged into the Folk category.
Hello, Holly Gleason! I think I like you.
A most lively, entertaining and thoughtful read. Can't wait to see more. And just when I thought the Engine 145 crew couldn't possibly get any more awesome!
A fantastic read Holly! I'm not sure the Grammy's are worthy of such thoughtful analysis, but your perceptions are well appreciated nonetheless. I have to admit I have no idea who or what a Bon Iver is, but I'll take your word that they are out of the ordinary.
Hey, is anyone doing a live blog of the Grammy's? The live blogs are about the only thing related to major TV network sponsored music awards shows of any type I pay attention to. Unlike say the Americana and IBMA Awards Shows where I try to catch as many online feeds as I can…
A quick note: I just dropped by AOL's "The Boot" and they have been posting real-time new entries about the country, Americana, and folk artists who have been winning awards at the Grammy's! Now The Boot doesn't normally post many new articles on the weekends, so this shows how excited they are about The Grammy's! (lol) Since Taylor Swift is a winner, I'm glad I didn't tune in! (lol)
An absolutely wonderful read. Thank you.

Soap watch; An old favourite returns to haunt the Close.
Apparently, the creator of the Channel 4 soap, Phil Redmond, has a few tricks up his sleeve, with lots of new characters appearing in the next year or so.
But has he pulled off a masterstroke this week with the return of cranky OAP Harry Cross.
Last seen in a Brookie spin-off video, 78-year-old Bill Dean, who plays the cantankerous old get, returns to the Close this week, and is caught trying to break into his old bungalow, now home of the Shadwicks.
It transpires that poor old Harry is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, but his temper hasn't mellowed at all, and even though he's only back for a three- episode run, it looks like being a fun time for all.
Elsewhere on Brookside, someone is sabotaging the newly opened Millennium Club, and poor old Jimmy Corkhill's (Dean Sullivan) chequered past becomes common knowledge.
It's not Jimmy I really feel sorry for though, it's his poor long-suffering wife Jackie (Sue Jenkins).
Down under in Home and Away, Marilyn (Emily Symons) finally has her baby this week, but then realises that motherhood is not all it's cracked up to be. Oh dear.
And elsewhere Chloe (Kristy Wright) is still depressed and Gypsy (Kimberley Cooper) is still drinking. Just another ordinary day in Summer Bay then.
Ruth (Terri Dwyer) had enough hassle with Kurt to last her a lifetime and this week in Hollyoaks she tells Lewis (Ben Hull) that she doesn't want to get too involved, too quickly.
Tony's (Nick Pickard) obviously worried that Jas (Elly Fairman) doesn't want to be involved at all any more and so he's decided to woo her with his new image. Mmmm. I can hardly wait to see that.
I can hardly wait to see Tracey Preston, ne Barlow (Dawn Acton) who returns to Coronation Street this week, either. Well, I can actually. What an annoying character she is. Let's hope her return is a fleeting one.
Leanne (Jane Danson) is delighted with the news that she is pregnant, but although hubby Nick seems all smiles on the surface, is he really happy or not? And is this the beginning of the end for the young lovers? Adam Rickitt, who plays Nick, has already announced he is leaving the soap in a few months to pursue a music career (I can hardly wait for another soap star pop record, can you?).
So, will Leanne be a tad miffed if and when she finds out that Nick has been confiding in art teacher Miranda? You bet she will. She might even be as mad as his mum Gail ... well, maybe not.
Curly (Kevin Kennedy) manages to get some of his possessions back from No 7, but with the Dobbses in there, it won't be easy. Although Margi Clarke's Jackie Dobbs is highly annoying, the son Tyrone, ably played by Alan Halsall, is actually a great character.
A right cheeky monkey if there ever was one, he's not about to let anyone get the better of him and he's up to all sorts of mischief this week.
First off he warns new hairdresser Tom (Tom Wisdom) off Toyah (Georgia Taylor) - who he fancies - and then he double-crosses Spider (Martin Hancock) who is trying to help Curly. Er, sorry, did I say I thought he was OK? Take that back. Double-cross Spider? I'll have him for that.
Poor Simon's (Andrew Lynford) having a rotten time down in EastEnders - so much so that he's now ended up in hospital as well. God, you wouldn't want to be a member of that family, would you?
Anyway, as the departure of many of the Albert Square residents - including Simon - becomes more imminent, some new characters are appearing, namely Luca di Marco (Graham McGrath - what a con!) and his friend Roberto Massi (Martino Lazzeri - well that's a bit more like it). Nice. Very nice. Poor Peggy (Barbara Windsor) goes into hospital for her mastectomy and feels guilty that she didn't tell Grant (Ross Kemp). Oops.
Up in High Road, Kitty, Sandy and Morag put their heads together and plan a party for Mairi and Lachie. Little do they know, it won't be as appreciated as they thought it would be. In Sunset Beach, it's still the Maria/Ben/Meg amnesia love triangle that's dominating. I love this show - they make no excuses whatsoever for running a storyline for MONTHS.
Have the makers of Brookside been watching a bit too much of this?

BJP veteran L.K. Advani has claimed that the credit for the withdrawal of the ordinance to shield convicted lawmakers from disqualification goes to President Pranab Mukherjee, and Congress president Sonia Gandhi could have "used" Rahul Gandhi to "control the damage" to the government.
Writing on his blog, he said the description of the development as a victory for the Congress vice-president was a comment on "how superficial" the media had become.
Mr. Advani said the BJP delegation he led to the President on September 26 to drive home the party's stand that the ordinance was unconstitutional and he not sign it got the impression that Mr. Mukherjee had reservations about the measure. "It seems these Ministers [Sushilkumar Shinde, Kapil Sibal and Kamal Nath] were told that the President had reservations about the ordinance. This must have alarmed them. The President returning the ordinance to the government unsigned would have been a major setback to the government."
"It is then perhaps that Soniaji may have thought of doing some damage- control using Rahul… It is obvious, however, that no one advised him how precisely he was to carry out this task. The objective would have been fully served, had Rahul simply said the decision taken by the government needs to be reviewed," Mr. Advani said.

Plagiarism watchdogs fire back at Zakaria
@blippoblappo & @crushingbort aren't giving up:
Yesterday, Our Bad Media posted an article about a pattern of lifted text in the work of Fareed Zakaria in TIME, the Washington Post, and CNN that came after all three outlets claimed to have reviewed Zakaria's work for plagiarism. While the outlets are all standing by their previous reviews of his work, TIME's statement is notable for highlighting the fact that Zakaria no longer works for them. Politico's Dylan Byers received a response from Zakaria himself that defended his work by outright lying and obfuscating about what we posted. We understand that the global brand Fareed Zakaria brings to the table is considerable, but that doesn't make his explanation any less bullshit.
We're standing by our previous piece.... we've posted the entirety of Zakaria's reply with our responses.
