YIELD: Serves 6
Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl soak sauerkraut in cold water to cover 20 minutes, changing water once halfway through soaking.
While sauerkraut is soaking, in a large heavy skillet cook bacon pieces over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons drippings and add onions to bacon. Cook mixture, stirring, until onions are softened.
Drain sauerkraut well in a colander, pressing out excess liquid, and in a large flameproof roasting pan combine with bacon mixture, carrots, beer, broth, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns. Bring sauerkraut mixture to a boil on top of stove and boil 1 minute. Cover pan tightly with foil and braise in middle of oven 4 hours. Sauerkraut may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead, cooled, uncovered, and chilled, covered with plastic wrap. Reheat sauerkraut before proceeding.
If desired, in a heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and in batches brown sausages. Add sausages and pork loin to sauerkraut, partially submerging them. Braise sausages and sauerkraut, covered tightly with foil, in middle of oven 30 minutes and transfer with a slotted spoon to a heated platter, discarding bay leaves if desired. (Do not eat bay leaves if leaving as garnish.)

You can travel 'cross this entire land/There ain't no place like Birmingham.
It's nearly 40 years since Randy Newman hit the proverbial nail right on the head. Sure, he was poking some fun, but there was more to it than that. Newman always had a keen eye for the telling quirk and a gift for capturing the ephemeral qualities that define people, places and events. In his tribute to the erstwhile Magic City, he showed his grasp of the ironclad truth that Birmingham is a uniquely hard town. He hit the nail on the head, and it has stayed hit.
I wrote a book a few years back, looking at the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and its role in the history and development of Birmingham (yeah, I know, it sounds like a real page-turner). An acquaintance — born, raised, educated, employed, civically engaged and now nearing retirement in Birmingham — read it. He called me a few days after finishing the book and, after making some nice comments about the quality of the work, told me he wasn't sure whether he liked it or not.
"I learned a lot," he said. "But now I'm wondering if I've spent my entire life and career in the most fucked-up place on earth."
"It's possible," I recall saying to him. For some reason, hearing that actually seemed to make him feel better.
I was thinking of neither my existentially distressed acquaintance nor the sardonic Mr. Newman a couple of weeks ago, when I found myself listening to a friend vent some civic frustration. He was angry with the county commission, the school board, the legislature, the transit authority, the city's Design Review Committee and the BBA. He was angry about Cooper Green Hospital, the immigration law, the coal industry, the deterioration of county-maintained roads, the apparent impossibility of replacing the county occupational tax and its much-needed revenue.
"Where do we even start to get a foothold on fixing this stuff?" he asked.
"Look," I told him. "I love Birmingham. But it will wear your ass out."
(Parenthetically, I almost feel inclined here to apologize for what might be viewed as a surfeit of profanity in this week's column. I'll stop short of that, but will point out that both instances above are direct quotes — even if one is of myself — and neither is intended to be gratuitous in any way. Besides, as anyone who cares about this place can attest, Birmingham will, among other things, make you cuss. Like a…sailor.)
And therein lies the point. Birmingham is worth fixing, or at least worth the effort of trying. I believe that, and I've said that and other, similarly foolish things about this place for many years — said them, often enough, right out in public. At bottom, I believe that it is within the power of Birmingham to fix itself. The problem is that fixing requires cooperation, coordination and cohesion — a trifecta we've never come close to hitting.
There have, however, been times when Birmingham has moved the ball forward, times when systemic change has been effected and substantive progress has been made in one or more areas of our shared civic life. In each of those instances — the two most recent are 1963 and 1979 — the change came at the ballot box.
In that context, we're long overdue for a shakeup. In 2013, there are elections for mayor, city council and board of education in the City of Birmingham. In 2014, the Jefferson County Commission will be up for election, along with all of the county's seats in the Alabama Legislature. That's 42 elected positions, meaning 42 opportunities to put — or keep — in place elected officials who are dedicated to the public trust and committed to an agenda for Birmingham's progress. The possibilities are staggering.
Birmingham is worth fixing. Birmingham can be fixed. I believe that. I have called Birmingham home for more than three decades and I believe that now more than ever. If that doesn't make me an optimist, I don't know what does.
A quick note on an item that has been followed closely in this space: The fate of Birmingham's application for $23 million in "TIGER IV" federal grant funds for the Red Rock Ridge and Valley Trail System will be known soon. An announcement is expected from the U.S. Department of Transportation anytime between now and mid-June. Word from inside City Hall has it that officials are highly optimistic that the project will receive some, if not all, of the funds sought. This would be a huge win for Mayor Bell, the Freshwater Land Trust and the numerous other public and private sector partners that supported the grant application.
One last note, this one on the departure of Glenny Brock as editor-in-chief of Weld. It is on behalf of everyone here that I thank Glenny for her many and ongoing contributions to our enterprise. She has many fine qualities that have endeared her to many and stand her in good stead as an editor, a writer and a friend. Most of all, though, Glenny is just a good person. We all need all of those we can get.
Mark Kelly is the publisher of Weld. Write him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kimilili MP Eseli Simiyu has opposed the government's plan to build a multibillion shilling dam in the constituency.
Speaking at a funeral of former education officer for Tongaren division Erastus Mutaki, Eseli said the government should respect the wishes of the people who have raised objected the dam.
The Sh1.4 billion project will cover more than 45 square kilometres and will affect six locations of Bungoma North, Kabuyefwe, Naitiri, Kimilili, Tongaren, Khakamwe and Soi Sambu.
"If the government is yet to settle the post-election violence and Mau evictees, why should it think of displacing others?" he said. "We will sue to stop the government from forcibly displacing people from their land."
Eseli said the government should consider building the dam in the Lugari forest. Residents earmarked for displacement have threatened not to register as voters if the government goes ahead with plans to displace them.

ECHO BAY Drill Summary
Highlights from mineralized down hole intervals from hole EBM-07-10 include:
Drill Summary
Echo Bay Gossan at Glacier Lake 2006
Completion of the five drill holes confirms additional poly-metallic mineralization at Echo Bay. Three of five drill holes intersected multiple zones of altered and highly mineralized poly-metallic breccias with disseminated and vein hosted copper, silver, cobalt, nickel, lead and zinc mineralization. One hole was abandoned and one did not return significant results.
Highlights from significant mineralized down-hole intervals from the three new holes reporting significant values, include hole number:
The Echo Bay Mine district is being targeted for silver and uranium exploration. The mineralization occurs within the same suite of volcano-plutonic rocks that host other poly-metallic zones in the Eldorado & Contact Lake Mineral Belt, including the former El Bonanza Silver (Ag) and the Eldorado Uranium (U-Ag- Cu- Co- Ni- Bi) mines. Veins of the former Eldorado and Echo Bay mines are situated in metasedimentary rocks, near the margins and apices of porphyry stocks, between underlying batholiths and overlying volcanic rocks. The cores and intermediate zones of the hydrothermal systems that are responsible for these veins are possible loci for larger, more typical, bulk-mineable IOCG-type deposits. Additional drill results are pending and will be released when they are received by the Company.
The accompanying table gives a summary of drilling highlights and assay results returned from three out of five holes reporting from Echo Bay at Eldorado, NT.

'Hillbilly Blood' stars believe society will soon come looking to them for answersAdd to Favorites | Hillbilly Blood: A Hardscrabble Life
Destination America's reality series "Hillbilly Blood" might be of better use to viewers than just giving them a window into the life of America's mountain people. According to star Spencer "Two Dogs" Bolejack, some hillbilly ways of life will likely help society to survive in coming decades.
"We're trying to break all the stereotypes of what people think a hillbilly is," Runkis says. "A lot of the hillbillies that I know are really, really intelligent people who do a lot of the same stuff we do."
One example he raises is the trash piles frequently seen in the back of mountain people's homes. Though he notes that the piles are not aesthetically appealing, Bolejack tells reporters at the TCA 2014 summer press tour that they are used as resources and parts to keep homes running so hillbillies don't need to go to a store and wastefully purchase new items.
"While maybe the aesthetics can be improved a bit, there's something there that I think society will have to learn from," he says. He notes, "Mountain people have learned to do a lot of stuff themselves that people have forgotten."
The intelligence of "hillbillies" is something that was frequently highlighted in the panel. Though they might not look as sleek at Hollywood's elite, the three stars of the show -- Bolejack, Eugene Runkis and Cowboy -- want to show that mountain people are more than meets the eye.
"We're trying to break all the stereotypes of what people think a hillbilly is," Runkis says. "A lot of the hillbillies that I know are really, really intelligent people who do a lot of the same stuff we do."
All the men, who are proud of being labeled hillbillies, say they have spent years away from home. Bolejack went to college, which he says was to make sure he could provide for his wife if he got married. All the men know how survival skills like how to purify their own water and create their own electricity.
"When you watch the show, you'll be just as surprised by all the knowledge and smarts that these guys have," executive producer Sara Helman says.
"Hillbilly Blood" premieres Aug. 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Destination America.

looks like an entertaining game that gets you hooked quick!
I really like the gameplay! I can play that type of game for hours
It looks awesomely fun! I could play it without sound and it would like I was working hard at something "productive", or I could play it with sound and irritate everyone around me. Win-win!
Mooniz looks pretty good, i'd give it a try.
Fast pace game that looks easy to pick up and play. Def seems like it can be a big game in the app market! Would love to win this game!
Fast pace, great graphics; refreshing change from killing!
The most simple games are often the most fun to play - only needing a finger to play is great.
Picked up an iPad just two days ago (impossibly long waiting times here in Germany), and been looking for addictive puzzle games -- particularly those that impress with graphical fireworks! This one seems to fit the bill perfectly! (I bought the device for "working" ... right, here I am, gaming-crazy like a kid in a toy store! :))

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2013
Water Energy Innovations, Inc. today announced the release of a new white paper, "The Role of Natural Gas in California's Water-Energy Nexus." California has been considering the intriguing possibilities presented by its water-energy nexus since 2005. Prior studies about energy use by the state's water and wastewater agencies focused on electricity. This is the first paper to address the role of natural gas.
California is presently facing a critical shortage of electricity. Up to 12,000 megawatts of power generation capacity – about 20% of California's historical peak electric demand – are scheduled to be retired or repowered over the next eight years. This is occurring at a time when the state's grid operator has identified a need for large quantities of "flexible" power – electric generation assets that can start up quickly and ramp up/down hundreds of megawatts at a time, within minutes. Flexible power is needed to reliably integrate the large quantities of solar and wind resources that are expected to come on-line by 2020 to meet the state's goal for 33% renewable energy. More electric capacity is being built to meet these needs; but less would be needed if California could reduce its electric requirements.
Presently, water and wastewater agencies use several thousand megawatts of electricity to pump water during hot summer months, when demand for both water and electricity is at its highest. Using natural gas to offset water-related electric demand during these periods could substantially reduce the number of power plants and new or upgraded high voltage transmission lines needed to keep the lights on in California.
The amount of energy used for water pumping varies significantly from one year to the next, with changes in hydrology. Natural gas engines are better suited than large central power plants to serve this type of variability, and they are quicker to develop and much less expensive to install. Using natural gas powered engines for water pumping:
Many water and wastewater agencies already contribute significantly to California's long-term electric reliability through energy efficiency, demand response, renewable energy production, and distributed generation. Some agencies also use natural gas for water pumping during periods of high electric demand. Reducing statewide electric demand helps to accelerate the shutdown of old, inefficient power plants. Replacing old polluting power plants with new, efficient natural gas engines would also reduce greenhouse gases. It is a path well worth exploring.

Dog Shaming
Every one of them, hilarious. Link page here.
Suzanne Santo
I got a couple of minutes in the green room last night at 3rd and Lindsley. Really strong show by a young group Honey Honey. This is Suzanne Santo, the lead singer, and strong fiddle player. Fun night.
Glass diffraction
We worked with this yesterday. Was trying to shoot thru the glass and see how the light gets bent and warped. Not sure it's finished. I still have a rumble to mess with it more. 8×10 collodion, diptych. Nine inch petzval lens. Daylight. One minute and twenty second exposure. Strange chemical surprises happened yesterday; not sure why or how, but I like them.
Cicada season in Tennessee
I'm not sure whether it's a 17-year cycle, or a 13-year cycle, but whatever the case, they're back. And I love them. They're everywhere, and the sound, in my wooded neighborhood, is music to my ears. And here's a great video about them. Fast forward to time code 2:40 and watch it til time code 3:10.
Two Tearsheets: Book Covers
I received these yesterday in the UPS. Two book covers, printed, for Harpers Collins Publishers. The Melissa Marr book, we shot in a studio in Manhattan, and the Gwendolyn Heasley book, we shot in the country, in New Jersey. (Yes, New Jersey has country). Art Director: Alison Donalty; Designer: Ray Shappell. Go buy them for your teenage children.
Starting new blog; side project
Today, I made public the first stage of a new blog. This is an experiment to loosen up, to shoot with less gear, (to shoot with more Polaroid), and to connect more on a human level. And since I've been working out of town mostly in the last two years, it's also an attempt to reconnect with the interesting people in my home of Nashville, Tennessee.
I haven't added the stories yet in some of these posts, and some of the posts in the new blog were stolen from this blog, in order to show potential photo subjects what I wanted to do. So this blog might be a tad slow in the next few weeks, as I put all my attention into this new project, called MyDayWith.com.
Sample page below. Maybe, in time, this will evolve into a printed magazine or book.
Deviled onions
I made a salad a few weeks ago. Cut an onion in half, and set the other half in the window sill. It stayed there for forever. It started changing. It started turning into a face. It started talking to me when I'd get up and make coffee in the morning. Funny how things will start to take on a life on their own. Two nights ago, I started photographing it; it was becoming human. Reminded me of that scene in Coen Brothers film with William Burroughs, with the typewriter, when things started coming alive.
I thought it was going to be part of a project that we're all working on, but I don't think it'll make the cut. Even though I find the face pretty interesting. (Full retouching disclosure: it had the one ear, on its own, and I cloned it and made a second ear).
I shot this with this old funky Nikon f1.2 lens that I bought recently. I don't even mount it on the camera — I just hold it up to the camera body, about a half inch away. It's amazing how it still makes a picture, even though the lens is not even touching the camera. I just move the lens in and out, with my left hand, to focus it. Surprises me that it doesn't flare more, since there's light entering the mirror box all around the lens opening. Just move the lens around with your hand; your own homemade tilt lens.
Baby Bear Bird.
Shot this yesterday for my friend Diana. We had a wonderful child to work with. Brent was with his mother, in a Cracker Barrel somewhere, and somehow, somebody knew somebody, and he met this child and her grandmother, I think. Not sure about the specifics of the story, but on some level, it doesn't matter, (but doesn't Cracker Barrel have to be involved in every story that happens in The South? Really). She is so poised and well-spoken, all for three years old. And these incredible birds were flying all over my house; at some point, they'd get bored from sitting in her hand, and they'd fly off, and Brent and I would climb a ladder and get them down off the seamless or the window sill. They are tiny little doves from Petsmart, and I want a couple for myself, along with a victorian bird cage. They make a soothing little cooing noise.
(Edit): Here's a second image too; just playing around with the window light.
"The Contributor" benefit last night.
My new neighbor Julie Lee asked me to come down to The Contributor benefit last night, at the Downtown Presbyterian Church. I was honored that she asked me to help out. Here are some images from the event. I had to leave early for another thing, but I shot as much as I could. There was a very nice spirit in the room last night. There was an art show downstairs, with framed photographs for sale, shot by the homeless on disposable cameras, and then following, a music performance upstairs in the sanctuary.
Window light.
I have this candle that's not really a candle. It's really just an incense holder. The wax is soft, and you just can jam them down in there. It's taken on this ritualistic voodoo quality now, with all the leftover wood sticks of burned incense. It's sitting on a piece of scrap sheetrock, that I've so elegantly converted into a tabletop to hold a lamp.
Last night, I went to two art openings, and I think I got up today, inspired to work with a still life.
Not sure this is really the final image, I think I'm going back up there and reshoot it. Reshot it. ASA 6400, (my new love ASA), with the 45 tilt, stitched, wide open. ASA 100, with the 45 tilt, stitched, wide open.
And then, below, a portrait of a friend of a friend's child, today. Pretty, soft window light, with the Mamiya contraption.
Funky lenses.
Was with some friends today, and shot some portraits in the little studio in my upstairs. Window light; was a cloudy grey day with not much punch. I love the idea of not being able to control the feeling of the light; you've got to shoot your stuff before the sun goes down, and if it's sunny, you get pop, and if it's grey, you get soft and blue. I've also been playing with this beat-to-hell Mamiya 645 lens, 80mm f1.9, that I found, and mounted onto this D3x. I found some strange adapter that let me mount the lens onto the Nikon. My new thing is playing with high ASA too, this is 3200. The higher you go, the prettier the noise gets. The old Mamiya lens does some nice things in the out of focus areas. I love how this has this accidental "Womens Prison, Topeka Kansas, 1945″ sort of feeling to it.
(Added later. Here is the mother of Topeka Kansas 1945. The sun went down, and I had to bring out the hot lights.):
Cinematic noise.
Last night, Thomas urged me to crank up the ASA on my D3x up to 6400. We were all crammed into a room, watching a video, with only a tiny lamp on in the room. This is my newly-cobbled Mamiya 645 lens, mounted onto this D3x with some weird adapter, shot at 6400 wide open at 1.9. Love the noise, love the grain feeling. Feels like scene from a 70's movie, just before the villain breaks through the back door. Brent and I were tag-team shooting, but I think (hope) I shot this frame.
New York street.
Steamed-up window today — Korean restaurant, on 32nd and Fifth. Below.
A little video of Stumptown Coffee, shot this morning. That place, and the Ace are high on my list.
Bathroom abstract.
I am renovating a home. There is this one bathroom that has zero personality. All the fixtures have been pulled. We yanked the sink off the wall, and it left this beautiful pattern where the sheetrock paper got torn. And then we crammed a paper towel into the drain pipe, and walked away, about two months ago. Yesterday, I glanced down at the afternoon light and realized how much I like the scene. This morning I took a moment to document it, before the whole room gets gutted.
Harper-Collins book cover.
Here's an image (that I messed with after I submitted it to the client). We shot this in the summer, up in New Jersey, ironically, in a garage — not in the ocean; not in a lake; not in a pond. Creative Director: Alison Donalty; Designer: Ray Shappell. There is quite a bit of type overlaying this image; had to leave it pretty empty and sparse.
Comments Off on Harper-Collins book cover.
Winter coming on; cover the bushes.
Driving home today, I came upon this yard in my neighborhood. It completely took me back to my grandmother's yard in rural Kentucky, when I was a kid. With winter coming on, she'd go into the basement and bring out an entire stack of lightweight blankets and sheets to cover the late-blooming flowers and tender bushes. Today, the light was just amazing, coming thru these plastic bags that someone had rigged up.
Linden School "Elves Faire"
I dropped by the Linden School "Elves Faire" today for awhile. Ran upon an elf that was maybe eight or nine feet fall, and lived in the forest, and was quite stylishly dressed.
Portrait of Sam, from Smiling Elephant
On Wednesday, we stopped in to see Sam, from Smiling Elephant restaurant, on 8th Avenue South. Sam is the brother of Patti Myint, who runs International Market and PM and is the Queen of Belmont. Behind the Smiling Elephant is an auto repair garage, and Sam worked on cars for years, and one day, he began to build out the front building, after hours, into a Thai restaurant.
Several months ago, I made my first visit to his new restaurant. When I walked up to the cashier counter to pay my Tab, there was a Buddha sitting on the counter, and I asked him about it. It turns out, it was not a Buddha, but a famous meditation teacher in Thailand. He told me the story of this man's life. I told him I'd begun to practice meditation. He began to talk to me about my breath, and about his various techniques of his own meditation. People were beginning to line up behind me, eager to pay and get on their way, but Sam was not phased by this — he continued to talk to me patiently, and tell me his own story.
The next time I went in the restaurant — this time for take out — I was sitting on the little bench by the cashier counter, waiting for my food, and Sam came over to me and said, unprompted, "You know, the main thing in life is to give our bodies healthy food, and to provide for our families." We began to talk again, about health, and meditation, and life goals. He'd look right into my eyes, his big bushy eyebrows moving above his sparkling eyes. We barely knew each other, but we talked as if we'd been friends for years.
Now, we swap books, and literature on meditation, when I go into the restaurant. I see him now and give him a big hug — I'm not sure how he feels about that, but he goes along with it. So he seemed perfect for my new little portrait series — a man who's unique and interesting, and is contributing positive energy to those around him. His restaurant is booming, with lines out the front door every day at lunch, and soon, my bet is that he'll have to renovate the auto garage out back, in order to accomodate all the customers, and his continued success. He's a special man.
Portrait of James from the Belmont Bi-Rite.
I go to this old-timey grocery store on Belmont Boulevard, near my new house. I'm not sure why — they don't really have the freshest produce, or most anything organic. I'm just drawn there. I go there and buy cooked meat, back in their deli. It's one of the few last bastions of the Old South — beans, meat, and barbeque cooked daily. The floors are waxed clean and shiny, even though they're very old. They only recently added the ability to pay with a credit card. It just feels like home.
When I was a kid, my family owned five small convenience stores in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Ever since I was about twelve years old, I started bagging groceries and working in those markets. Worked in them all the way through high school and college. I can stock a shelf with the best of them. I can clean a milk cooler. I can run a register and make change quickly. It was useful to learn how to talk to strangers, when I was a dorky, stoner, redneck kid. It sorta socialized me. It's helped in my adult life, as a photographer.
Anyway, I go into this grocery, and I always see the night manager there. His name is James. He's about 6'2″, but he seems about seven feet tall, because he's so thin. He's always running around at a hundred miles an hour, stocking shelves, and running the place. He always is fitted with his ball point pens, a nametag, and most of the time with one of those back supports, like those Home Depot guys wear. He said he has a problem with his back. So here is James — he is just so awesome to me. He is America. He seems like a guy that could be in a Mayberry RFD episode, along with Otis and Barney and Andy.
Portrait of Sara Burgers
Session with Sara Burgers on Friday. In the end, we went to those flooded-out mobile homes on Nolensville Road, and finished there. Those trailers are calling out for a photo project of their very own, but I guess Robert Polidori already claimed that photo content. Nonetheless, it's an amazing location.
Portrait of Nan Nelson
Shot at a bar on Division Street, Wednesday. Beautiful detailed work on her arm. Great face.
Portrait of Ian: Imogene and Willie
Ian Leach, from Imogene and Willie, yesterday morning. Very nice guy; great store, too.
Portrait of my neighbor, Mr Matthew Sherrill
I recently moved into a new home. Today, we started a new series of Testing portraits. My friend Buddy Jackson told me about a jewel of a fine man, who happens to live down the street from me. He's 95 years old, still drives his big Lincoln to the grocery, and still has a strong singing voice. He likes blues songs, but prefers to sing church spirituals.
In the video below, Mr. Sherill walked across the street, to ask his friend and neighbor Julie Lee, if she'd sing with him. They've been friends for a many years.
Andrew Hetherington blows thru Nashville
Got a call from Andrew last night. He was shooting a job in Louisville, and then driving direct to Atlanta today for another project. He and his assistant stopped in Nashville this morning for breakfast; I met them and showed them around town. It was Andrew's first time through town. Anyone from out of town, who's in the business, has to be taken to Hatch Show Print, so we started there, walked over to Tootsie's and Robert's, and then had breakfast at Bongo. Andrew's always been an inspiration to me — we compare notes on eating healthy foods; exercise; shopping at Whole Foods; and staying healthy. We always talk shop, but the friendship is larger than that. He's a fine man; a well-balanced guy. Here's a quick frame of him at Hatch this morning, using my Poor Man's Depth-Of-Field Technique.
Vision Board
A friend of mine kept a Vision Board by her desk in her office. I'd never heard of the concept before. But recently, I've seen a couple references to them. For me, I keep this Folder on my Desktop, and when I see something on FFFFound or Yimmy or Eric Baker, I just drag it off into that Folder. Later on, I found a way to dump them into Lightroom and easily make a 5×7 print of each one. I've started plastering one of the walls in my new office with these prints; and soon, they're going to take over the room. (But what a nice way to be reminded of what/how you want to shoot). I tend to be drawn to tight faces, or historical images, or damn near anything that's Hasselblad and B/W. I just use this board like a "Mental Rudder" to stay reminded of what's important, and to keep the flame alive, and to keep shooting for myself, and to keep exploring. Part of me wants to spray them with glue on the back, so they become a permanent part of the room. Imagine your entire office, covered with wonderful images.
Also, yesterday, the postman brought me this beautiful package wrapped in brown kraft paper. My dear friend Alison Donalty in NY had sent me a housewarming gift. She'd seen a group of artists on Etsy do a series of famous quotes, on letterpress. So this sweet little poster arrived, along with some other smaller cards, done by Mary Kate McDevitt, in Portland. The outside of the package was so nicely done that I waited for several hours before even opening the package. Then, by last night, my curiosity got the best of me. How nice to touch real paper again, and run your fingers over that ink. (Everything I do now seems to be done on this Macintosh and FTP'd; I rarely make a print on real paper any more). (This is about to change…; stay tuned).
On the road: El Matador
Just back from extended little road trip. Here are a couple of outtake images shot a couple days ago, at El Matador. Stunning weather out there; yesterday it was 113 degrees in downtown LA. But at the beach, much more calm and peaceful. These are quickies that I worked up on the plane today. For a couple of reasons, Los Angeles was hard to leave this time.

Downtown Memphis, tonight.
Pulled into Memphis tonight, scouting/prepping for a project. Dinner and a stroll through downtown. I heart Illustrators and street artists. And sweet dogs that ride atop carriages. And oysters. And the trolley. And great storytellers. And good friends.
Matte-painted backdrop, NYC.
I'm working in New York this week. Checked into my room on 32nd and Fifth, and it's like a Hollywood matte painting as a backdrop, outside my window.
Also, headed out on Friday for my first Manhattan bicyle ride, up the WestSide Highway. Bike rented; clothes and shoes in place; weather should be nice. Not sure how many miles, but it sure will be fun. With Brett Sahler as my guide, we're in for an adventure.

Flood Scare: Fairgrounds
Back in May, Nashville got sacked with three solid days of rain. Today, the skies opened again, and I think everyone is still a bit gun-shy. There is this one building over by the Fairgrounds, that got hit hard in May. The entire neighborhood was underwater. So much so, that they're digging up their parking lot and reworking the whole building. I drove by there today, after the hard rain, and several parked cars were in danger of flooding again. And BMW's at that. The light was just that strange color of mixture of dusk and storm and tornado and twilight.
"Four plates; three pairs shoes; two pots" – NYT article
Loved this article last week in the Times, about a couple that rearranged and simplified their life. Today, I walked past this line of shoes, in my bedroom, and felt guilty. But I could make a practical case for (almost) every pair. But for the record, I do own only four plates, so maybe there's hope for me.
Jimmy Abegg portrait
We had another one of our ArtNights last night at Buddy Jackson's home. A great group of people showed up for BarBQ, corn pudding, black bean salad, and great conversation. I shot this portrait of my friend Jimmy Abegg before the event started, up on one of the landings in Buddy's home. Four huge windows with great afternoon light. Jimmy ranks right up there, as one of The Nicest Guys in the World.
Outtake frame, recent project.
I've been doing post work on a series of projects from a recent NY trip. Here's one outtake frame that won't be published — they used a different concept for the final. Really striking model, and excellent hair and make up from Ronnie Peterson. It's funny — we lit the first setup with a million tiny tungstens, and this, we just moved out the CStands at the end of the day, threw the window blinds up, and shot window light. So simple and clean.

Memphis: Lorraine Motel
We worked on a project in Memphis yesterday, and after the job, we drove by Graceland, and the Civil Rights Museum. The photo below is the preserved Lorraine Motel, where Dr. King was assassinated.
The Goat Girls
I got a call from my friend Diana recently. She'd discovered this baby goat and wanted to photograph it for her company. When we were finished with that, we had about fifteen minutes with the goat before it had to go home, so we shot some stuff with her daughters. Here are a couple of frames.
Backstory: I guess when a goat has babies, it's normal for the mother to have only one or two babies. In this case, there was a third one born in the litter. But I guess the mother has some innate knowledge that she only has enough milk for two babies, so she ignores the third one. The human mother of all the goats recognized this, and took the third baby and is feeding it by bottle, to get it strong. She even takes it to work with her. In these pictures, the little baby is only seven days old. Very sweet energy; it just ran around my apartment, crawled under the sofa, explored all the crannies, and then chewed on my running shoes. When you picked it up and wrapped it in its little blanket, it would just calmly lie there and almost be lulled to sleep.

How difficult would it be to make white shelby racing stripes/ rocker stripes and make them black? Would I have to rescan them and edit them on a computer program? Do they make diffirent color decals for the newer shelby model kits?

First off, what type printer will you be using?
What color car will the decal go on?
Why not just download the Shelby font and make them in Black from scratch.
That's what I did for a Shelby model that a friend wanted to display on his 1:1
Do you have a pic of the Decal?
Posted 08 March 2013 - 06:34 AM
I am painting it chrome. I found a guy who does decales (the same guy who did my 68 Shelby decals) for the 07 Shelby he has either silver stripes or black stripes, now I'm torn between either silver or black.

When we saw pictures of what looked like a pimped-out wheelchair roaming the streets of New York this morning, we figured it either had to be a very late April Fool's, or Ironside had finally got round to pimping his ride. It was neither.
In fact, it's the result of a collaboration between GM and the brains behind Segway (that topply scooter-thing), who make some very bold claims. This vehicle will transform the way we commute forever, apparently.
Dubbed Project PUMA, or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility, the two-wheeler is electrically powered and seats two adults. The makers say it will enable people to travel around cities more quickly, safely, quietly and cleanly - and all at a lower total cost.
With its integrated lithium-ion battery, the Puma is capable of reaching speeds of 35mph - nearly twice as fast as the Segway - and will manage up to 35 miles between recharges. Which is about the same as the Tesla Roadster in the hands of Clarkson. Actually, let's not start that debate again.
Each machine will be able to communicate with vehicles around it, apparently reducing the risk of accidents, regulating the flow of traffic and organising drinks down the pub. Or something like that, anyway.
Prices haven't been announced yet but Segway says it expects total cost of ownership to be about a quarter of what you pay to own and run the average family car. That said, your average family car rarely runs the risk of toppling over backwards and leaving you stranded with a large headache.
What do we reckon? Revolutionary urban saviour or, er, the next Sinclair C5?
While we're on the subject of futuristic wheelchair-things, here's a clip of Richard Hammond driving the iReal, Toyota's funky social-networking mobility-scooter:

Replying to: ????? by gloopey1
Re: ?????
gloopey1 said:
How do you figure that Sprint is "cannibalizing" Nextel?
Simple. Sprint is taking much of the existing iDEN bandwidth and converting it to CDMA channels. Given the massive customer exodus from Nextel, it makes sense to do that now, but the fact of the matter is, much of the 850 MHz bandwidth that was formerly iDEN is now being used for Sprint's other networks. That type of action is frequently (and accurately) referred to as "cannibalization".
gloopey1 said:
Although you might argue that Nextel alone would've done it better, it still was going to happen.
Agreed, Nextel would have done it far, far better than Sprint has done it. Eventually Nextel would have either migrated entirely to CDMA or Flarion, or they might have moved all voice & data to CDMA or Flarion and kept some of the original iDEN equipment & channels intact just for the PTT calls. We'll never know for sure now which technologies Nextel would have adopted, but the two things that are certain is that [a] Nextel would have done it better (IMO) than Sprint and [b] Nextel was laready ahead of the curve, with regional testing for network technology upgrades already happening as early as 2003-2004 time frame.
gloopey1 said:
Nextel never had a single year that their customer service or network tied with Verizon, yet Sprint has managed to accomplish this.
Both statements within that one sentence are absolutely flase statements. You are so incredibly wrong, so unfamiliar with the original Nextel history and so wrong about the current stats for Sprint, it is astonishing. Google all of the US wireless industry's quarterly & annual reports for, say, 2002-present and you'll discover that before Sprint bought Nextel, Nextel and Verizon were usually neck-and-neck, both tied for first place in most of the customer-satisfaction type measures. At the same time, Nextel had by far higher ARPU and ARPE than did Verizon, and Nextel at that time was winning multiple awards annually, for example being one of the best places to work in IT in the US, was winning the majority of the US , state & county government contracts, etc etc etc.
gloopey1 said:
Nobody on either forum gets your point of view--maybe jrdsf?.
So let me get this straight: Now you claim to know what everyone else in these forums is thinking so you can speak for them. Very impressive! Knowing that is the case now, I can see it is useless to try to help you understand Nextel's history accurately.
gloopey1 said:
What do you base your opinions on other than your own personal experience & maybe your peers?
Well, yes, I think in general it is best to base one's opinions chiefly on one's own personal experience, combined with doing enough proper research to know one is expressing statements based on verifiable facts, and stirring in a smattering of feedback from one's peers & colleagues recounting their own experiences to round out the "knowledge base" on a given topic. Sure, I'll cop to that, and thank you for the compliment. I think most thinking, diligent, honest people would be happy to be accused of forming their opinions and making their statements that way, rather than simply spewing fanboi fantasy rhetoric and attempting to pass it off for facts, like the typical Nextel-hating Sprint fanboys do.

Former Hoosier Praibis On ITF Circuit
Sept. 9, 2008
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands - Indiana alumnus Jakub Praibis had a successful summer on the International Tennis Federation Futures Circuit, highlighted by an appearance in the finals at the Czech Republic F2 Futures Tournament.
The native of Litomerice, Czech Republic won his semifinal match, defeating Andrej Martin of the Slovak Republic (7-5 6-3). In the final, Praibis fell to fellow Czech Karel Triska (4-6 6-7(4)). The two-time All-Big Ten (2004 and 2005) and three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection made it to the semifinals of the Belgium F1 Futures event and the quarterfinals of two more Futures tournaments as well.
"Jakub had recent success on the IU men's tennis team and now he is out there doing very well at the professional level. It opens the door as far as what our guys believe they can do, and it opens the doors for the future for our tennis players. I think what he is doing changes the mindset with our guys on what they can do in the future," said head coach Randy Bloemendaal.
Bloemendaal added, "We've had many players play professionally, but with a recent player doing it now, it is right there in front of our guys. It shows that if we work hard and continue this program playing at the Big Ten level, we can go out and be successful at the professional level."
The Hoosiers begin their fall slate on Friday, Sept. 12, with the Hoosier Invitational, which will see players from nine other teams compete at the IU tennis complex. The tournament will run through Sunday, Sept. 14. For complete coverage of Indiana University men's tennis, stay tuned to www.IUHoosiers.com.

opinionBy Valentine Njoroge
Just like you, I have been watching the political debates on TV avidly. I have also been following commentary on Facebook and after about a week of this, I have finally figured out what I think and feel about all this.
We live in a corrupt society. We live with laws that do not allow us to succeed past a certain level without some type of illegal activity. It is no wonder that the people who want to be our leaders, the success stories in this corrupt society, are law breakers and benders.
When is the last time you had a run-in with the law? Were you on the phone while driving? Did you need a certificate of good conduct urgently? Were you behind on your taxes? What did you do? Did you insist on following the law to the letter and paying your dues? That Sh5,000 fine at the cop station? Waiting the designated time for your certificate? Or paying all the back taxes you owe? Or did you, like most Kenyans start a conversation like "Ah Boss... kweli nimekosea..."and went ahead to 'negotiate' your way around the law?
Any small business owner knows that if you are trying to conduct a profitable business in Nairobi while paying all your taxes, you soon realise that the government is making more than you are. The 16 per cent VAT + 30 per cent PAYE [for every employee who makes more than Sh11,500] + import tax [let's face it very little of what small businesses sell is made here] = more money to KRA than the business owner. When you are looking at math like that, morality seems a very expensive and luxurious choice.
The other day on the phone with Shan Bartley, my best friend who happens to be white, I mentioned that one of my least favourite qualities about mzungus is their pedantic adherence to law. Mzungus believe in law, so much so that they tell on each other when the law is broken. So much so that they take each other to court to solve what we deem 'domestic issues'.
The up-side of this belief in and respect for law is a system that works. People mind their manners because society has agreed on a certain code of conduct; buses are on time because some rule book says so, and yes you will not only be prosecuted for committing a crime, your neighbours will corporate with the cops to provide evidence and you will go to jail.
Kenyans, we just do not work that way. Perhaps it is because the judiciary was inherited from our colonialists so we still think of it as 'other' and punitive. Perhaps like I said above, our laws don't allow us to flourish and thrive while following them.
Perhaps we have a national entitlement complex ... I don't know. Either way, here we are in 2013 and each and every presidential candidate that stands a real chance of ruling this country has some corruption scandal that they have yet to answer to.
Nairobians are talking about slim pickings with Bishop Wanjiru [who willfully misled us about her education]; Waititu who has picked up rocks to express himself when language failed and Sonko, who needs to declare where his wealth came from if we are ever to ignore the rumours against him.
Our leaders do not represent Kenyan success stories; they are Kenyan success stories. We need to accept who we are so that we can have a candid conversation about how to change and what kind of leaders we want. Any recovering addict will tell you that acceptance is the beginning of healing.
