Awesome light
Even my electrician loved this light. It's different, well made and they even give a little bottle of paint and my electrician was envious of the little tool to unscrew parts of the fixtures that came with the light. Looks awesome in my small room; I used 40 watt bulbs and he installed a dimmer switch. Love everything I have bought from OS so far...thanksRead More
Still in the box
Took a peek at it and it looks gorgeous. We will be remodeling our dining room so haven't unpacked it yet. Some of the pedals were a little bent from packing but they went back into place very easily.Read More
Love this chandelier!
So pretty to look up at & at eye level. Even came with touch up-paint but didn't need it. Perfect in a cottage bedroom.Read More
Really beautiful!! Though a tad pricey.
Electrician didn't have any problems & he liked them too. I just wish they came in black. I'd put them in my home kitchen (these were for a lakeside cottage). Nice job, Overstock!Read More
Southport 5 light Chandelier
I have been looking for something different for a bedroom remodel and this is it. The room's theme is tulips and how perfectly does this fit in. The fixture is very well made and substantial not flimsy at all. It gives ample amount of light and just looks gorgeous when hung. An electrician hung it for me so I can't speak to the difficulty of the installation but it didn't take him long at all. I have been looking at this whole line and may also order the hanging chandelier.Read More
Beautiful light!
I had seen this light a year ago but opted for a different style for my small kitchen. My other light was lovely, but it really wasn't what I wanted. I went to Overstock and found my original light (this one) that I LOVE and also for a much better price than on other websights! I can't stress enough how happy I am with this light!! It is so gorgeous and bright (I use chandelier bubls) and makes my kithchen look both modern and feminine. It arrived in 2 days! and was safely packaged. The electrician in my coop hung it in 30 minutes. Thank you. Overstock, for once again delivering on the goods, literally and figuratvely!Read More

Rob's Bistro, Madison
Starting a separate thread for Rob's b/c the few posts I've seen on here are about Madison restaurants or searches for good bistros. I've now had the pleasure of eating a few dinners and a lunch here, and it's crystal clear to me why the chef has such a devoted following.
This week I attended a wine dinner at Rob's, and I'm still wishing I could have convinced a few more friends to join me, because it was SO delicious and really gave the chef an opportunity to show that he not only knows how to cook, but that he truly understands food and wine pairings.
For starters, a quick explanation of how/why a BYOB is holding a wine dinner. A new law that went in to effect last year now allows BYOs in NJ to partner with out-of-state wine distributors to offer their wines in addition to allowing a restaurant to remain BYO. (Only in NJ, I say...!) Rob's has teamed up with Domenico Winery (CA) to offer (mostly half-bottles, iirc) their wines, so this dinner was a chance for us to try those wines along with the chef's excellent food. Four courses, wine, gratuity, and tax were $65, which is insanely reasonable, and the menu read beautifully, so I had to go!
The menu and wines:
1. Vanilla Bean Salmon Gravalax, Mâche & French Bagel paired with 2009 California Chardonnay
2. Crisp Pork Rillette, Frisée Lardon Salad paired with 2007 Amador Barbera
3. Braised Short Ribs, Sweet Potato Purée & Roasted Asparagus paired with 2007 Napa Valley "Meritage" Merlot
4. Dark Chocolate Mousse*, Fresh Strawberries & Crème Chantilly paired with 2005 "Black Silk" Ruby Red Dessert Wine
*Note: I generally don't 'care' about chocolate the way many people do; I'm the one ordering something lemony or a cheese plate or better still, drinking my dessert. Rob makes THE. BEST. Dark choc mousse I've ever had.
There wasn't a miss anywhere, but without a doubt, my favorite course overall was the pork rillette. It was fantastic, and the balance of the vinaigrette on the frisée and the acid in the wine was just perfect. I'd eat and drink that combo again and again, thankyouverymuch. :-) And the Barbera was my favorite of all of the wines we tasted, but there wasn't a miss in the glass anywhere.
It was a terrific evening all around; the winemaker (Domenick) was happy to share the story of how he discovered his passion for the business, and how he has grown from a make-your-own-wine club (Bacchus, based down the shore) to a full-blown California winery with a mail-order club and a tasting room in Tom's River. That Jersey boy has certainly kept his roots on the east coast!
If you enjoy a seriously well-done bistro menu, you've got to give Rob's a try. www.robsbistro.com
Sounds great! I haven't been since Resto closed - I guess I am afraid it will be crowded and I won't get in. It used to be so nice to just go to Rob's on a whim and have a nice meal. Will have to give it a try.
Sad news posted by Rob Uhaus:
After five fantastic years of cooking and serving you through birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions, not so special occasions, good weather and some pretty big storms, I'm sorry to say that we are closing on Friday, July 25th.
It has been my pleasure over the years to get to know you and your families.
It is my hope that my staff and I have provided for you many great memories of the times you've spent with us and the meals we were lucky enough to cook for you.
Best wishes to everyone.

re: Curlz
Disappointing. We ate there with friends in June. The waiter seemed disinterested and I took over as sommelier to pour our wine. Our chicken was dry and we are always so jealous as to how they get the chicken crisp on the outside and moist on the inside in French bistros, but we still would have gone back and we did have enjoyable meals there. Unfortunately, it looks like the Olive Garden is the preferred price point of the embattled consumer.
ANOTHER small portion, big prices restaurant out of business......won't they EVER learn ??,...the public wants VALUE for their hard earned $$$ !!....Altho' you can't compare Rob's with Harolds Deli in Raritan, Harolds is always packed....why ?...hugh portions, huge prices !!...always a doggy bag...two meals for the price of ONE !!.....customers want VALUE !!!...customers won't walk up to the owner/chef and complain about value, they just don't return !!
re: LEOFONT
There are different ways to quantify "value".
re: bropaul
VALUE is the individual customers interpretation, objectively............the owner of a restaurant has a right to a good profit on his/hers investment,.
but the customer has a right to a "profit" also, and that "profit" is value and satisfaction....many, too many customers don't see that their entitled to a "profit" also, and remember, if your not satisfied, the owner has made a PROFIT on your meal, and YOU HAVEN'T !!! .......quantified !
Terrific news, imo:
Opening in the Summer of 2015 by Chef Robert Ubhaus in downtown Madison NJ, Redux: The Restaurant will feature Modern American small plates, while using local ingredients as often as the seasons allow. At Redux, there will be two dining options for our guests. The first will be the main dining room and the second will be a Chef's counter in the kitchen overlooking Chef Rob & his culinary team. At the Chef's Counter, Chef Rob & his team will serve you, while preparing your food and the other diner's food, during your whole dining experience. The main dining room will offer a more traditional dining experience for our guests.
There will also be a Market with prepared foods. More info: www.reduxnj.com

Kentucky's Julius Randle back home for the Final Four
APR 04, 2014 4:31p ET
PLANO, Texas and McKINNEY, Texas -- Carolyn Kyles and Jeff Webster made it through security at Indianapolis International Airport, and the race was on.
"We've got to find a TV," Kyles told Webster as her stride picked up.
About 12 miles away, Kyles' son and Webster's mentee and godson, Julius Randle, was polishing off his fourth double-double in four NCAA Tournament games.
When Kentucky earned a Sweet 16 bid a week earlier and a ticket to Indianapolis, the duo purchased tickets on the last flight to Dallas of the day at 7:50 p.m. and hoped for an early tip time. Kyles had to return to Dallas for work on Monday morning in accounting at Ecova, a private energy management company in north Dallas.
Kentucky got stuck with a 5:05 p.m. tipoff and faced what Webster called "torture."
As Randle trotted back to the bench for a timeout with just under 12 minutes to play and Kentucky trailing Michigan by two, his eyes met Webster's in the stands. Webster balled up a fist and pounded his chest. Randle mirrored the gesture when he saw it.
Kyles' eyes welled up with tears and she and Webster shuffled up the aisle at Lucas Oil Stadium toward the exit.
The last three years, Randle's first act as a state champion at Prestonwood Christian School in Plano, Texas was to run into the stands and hug his mom. After his proudest moment and biggest accomplishment yet, she couldn't be there.
"It was awful," Kyles told FOX Sports Southwest this week at her home in McKinney, Texas.
Kyles was glued to her phone as she and Webster raced the 15 minutes down I-70 to the airport. Friends and a few reporters who knew the situation texted her updates while she kept open an app that provided score updates.
Neither checked a bag. Both had pre-printed their boarding passes to streamline the check-in process. Not far from the security checkpoint, they pulled up chairs at an airport restaurant that had a TV turned into the game. The Wildcats were up two with about three minutes to play when they finally found a place to see what could have been Randle's final game at Kentucky.
Michigan tied the game with 30 seconds to play, and Kyles watched as Aaron Harrison took a handoff and drove toward the top of the key. He stopped, crossed over from his right hand to his left hand and let a shot fly from 23 feet over Caris Levert's outstretched left hand.
He drained it, and the moment was immortalized on the following week's Sports Illustrated cover.
Kyles' perhaps forgot she had left the stadium, but screamed "YES!" like she was still in her seat.
"It's a small airport. It's quiet. Everybody turns and starts coming toward us. I think I saw security," Kyles said.
Onlookers did the math of Kyles' and Webster's Kentucky gear and the game on the television, and the two nervously held hands until after Nik Stauskas' halfcourt heave bounced wildly off the backboard.
It was time to disturb the sterile foyer once again.
"That's my baby! And he's coming home!" Kyles screamed.
The excitement of the ending left both future flyers distracted from the reason why they left the game. Before the players had even left the court, Kyles caught her self losing track of time.
"We've got to get to this gate," she told Webster.
With Webster and Kyles somewhere in the sky between Indianapolis and Dallas, Randle spoke six words Kyles will remember forever.
"I'm coming home to my mom," he told reporters after the game.
He's coming home to plenty of others, too. The same people who helped Randle reach a lifelong dream of leaving and playing for Kentucky will be the ones who make his return to Dallas this weekend so special. It's a welcome reward at the end of a tumultuous first (and likely only) season as a college athlete.
Kyles always demanded a lot from her son, and a meeting with Randle's first-grade teacher only cemented that demand.
"He's an 'A' student and you shouldn't accept anything else," she told Kyles.
When she'd asked other students to draw up a completed equation, most kept it simple. Two plus two equals four, though some of Randle's less gifted classmates unwittingly argued for George Orwell's interpretation of the outcome.
Randle tallied up what 2 million would equal if it were multiplied by 10,000.
Kyles, a skinny former college player at Texas-Arlington who stands 6-foot-2, saw his potential on the court, too.
Kindergarteners shouldn't be able to dribble that well, Kyles thought. He was already big for his age, so Kyles enrolled him in a city league with kids two years older than him. A second-place finish in his first season of organized basketball left him in tears.
Up until fifth grade, Kyles served as Randle's unofficial coach. They'd go to the park or nearby rec center together, where Kyles toughened up her son with powerful post moves. She'd throw elbows. She'd knock him down. He'd be infuriated.
"You're going to get pushed down, but you don't give up. You keep fighting," she told him.
Those battles in the park had become more even by the time Randle had grown into a 5-foot, 10-inch fifth grader.
Kyles took Randle to try out for the Texas Titans, a local AAU traveling team.
"He was always the guy everyone talked about as this really good player," Titans coach Scott Pospichal said.
Pospichal needed about five minutes to see that talk was born for good reason. Randle played for the Titans (and only the Titans) every summer through his high school career. He also found a mentor in assistant coach Jeff Webster, a formr star at Oklahoma who grew into Randle's godfather.
"He was looking for people he could trust," Pospichal said.
He found one in Webster, who eventually began picking Randle up from school each day. The father of two began treating him like his third child and gave Randle the father figure he didn't have at home.
"We have a respect factor, because I can tell him if he's right or wrong and what he needs to do. He trusts me," Webster said.
On the court, Webster and Pospichal teamed up to help develop Randle's game. They quickly discovered he played best when he had something to prove. Neither coach was above manufacturing a situation to get a rise out of their budding star.
"I'd call time out and he wouldn't have really done anything too wrong and I'd get all over him for some small thing. Then, he'd go out there and dominate," Pospichal said.
That didn't happen too many times before Pospichal asked Webster why he always had to play the part of bad cop to Webster's good cop.
"Because he's riding home with me," Webster would tell him.
"That shows you how good his mom is," Pospichal said. "She has the toughest job of all. She had to be good guy and bad guy."
By seventh grade, Kyles got sick of seeing Randle come home with straight As on his report card and no homework. She enrolled him at Prestonwood Christian School.
"Those teachers challenged him," Kyles said. "Pushed him with his math, which he was already great in."
By ninth grade, Kyles' lessons to her son extended to the kitchen.
Some nights, her work in accounting for Ecova would keep her in the office late. Randle quickly learned an adjustment would be necessary on nights that was the case.
During one particular week, Kyles had to stay at the office late for three consecutive nights.
"He was like, 'This woman isn't going to cook,'" Kyles recalled. "'I have got to survive.'"
Randle's secret cooking hobby was born. He started by calling his mother and asking for instructions on how to make lasagna.
Through high school, the two spent quite a few nights cooking together. Even after earning his license, Randle never drove himself to school. He and Kyles spent their morning drives every day talking.
On the weekends, Randle sometimes switched his role to fashion consultant on shopping trips.
"Mom, put that back," he'd say. "That's not you."
Webster helped him manage the difficulties that come with being a teenage boy.
"Anything you can think about from responsibility with school, leadership, being respectful, speaking to people in the right way," Webster said. "There's the drugs, alcohol, females. Anything out there, we've talked about it. ... Julius has always been a mature human being. He's made wise choices and had good people around him to help him make wise choices. "
Randle found it easy to listen to Webster, a fellow McDonald's All-American back in 1989 who was an All-Big Eight performer at Oklahoma and went on to a brief pro career.
"He's been in all the places Julius wants to be," said Chris Lovell, Randle's high school coach at Prestonwood. "He's been a great mentor for Julius in basketball and in life."
The shy kid Kyles saw growing up became a shy man whose birth certificate says he's 19 but deep, slow voice and thick frame make him seem a decade older. With media, he speaks softly and with heavy eyes that look like a man who's about to nap, or perhaps just woke up from one.
"He knew he wanted to be a pro, he was going to do whatever it took to be one," Pospichal said. "He wasn't really an 'I'm going to a party' guy."
From the time he started school until now, Randle kept a small circle of 2-3 close friends and was content to keep his life simple: School, basketball, church and family. Keeping that circle small got a lot easier when he recently got a new cell phone number.
"Jeff and I, we could say the same things, but it just sounds different to Julius when it comes from Jeff," Kyles said. "He just needed that male bonding. Not just as a mentor and coach, but that dad figure. They have such a close bond. He believes everything he says and looks up to Jeff."
Randle saw every day how he provided for his family, spoke to his wife and children. He saw his work ethic combined with an ability to carve out time to spend with Randle, a kid he hardly knew, to give him the things the world's best mother never could.
"That's the type of person and man I aspire to be," Randle said.
By the time Randle was a sophomore and their mailbox was constantly stuffed with recruiting letters, Kyles knew the next step on his road to the NBA wouldn't be in Texas. She placed the family's three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,787 square foot home in McKinney on the market in hopes of following her son to his college destination. There were a few close calls, but it never sold.
Near the end of his junior year, she sat him down.
"I don't want you to pick a school where I can see you play if your heart's not in it. I've had my chance to see you, go where you're going to be happy and I'll get there when I can," Kyles told Randle. "I don't think God wants me to sell this house. I think he wants you to fly on your own. I've guided you right."
The parade of coaches through their living room marched on. When Mike Krzyzewski arrived, Kyles and Randle sat and listened to him talk about his own experiences in life for 30 minutes before Julius' future even became a topic of discussion.
"I've always loved him, even before Julius existed," Kyles said. "When you talk to him, he makes you feel important."
Roy Williams came, too.
"Roy's like that granddad that, if you're feeling bad, he'll make you feel so much better and put a smile on your face," Kyles said.
Around 30 Division I coaches sat in the plastic bleachers of Prestonwood's arena for a practice, including Krzyzewski and Williams, as well as Kansas' Bill Self and Texas' Rick Barnes.
Kyles knew where her son's heart was.
"He always wanted to play for Kentucky. He knew it wasn't a place for everyone, but Coach Cal was going to push him," Kyles said. "If he wanted to go to the next level, Cal was one of the top coaches who could get him there. He wasn't going to baby him."
With that, Randle was off to Lexington. Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Randle's former AAU rivals from Houston, joined him.
The group, boasting six McDonald's All-Americans was widely considered the best recruiting class in college basketball history. Before the season, there was chatter about the possibility of a 40-0 season. Hoops maven Dick Vitale publicly said anything less than a national title would be a "huge disappointment."
"They put them up on this pedestal," Kyles said. "They just expected them to walk in without ever playing a college game and kill, steal and destroy."
A March 1 loss to South Carolina marked the low point of the season, sending Kentucky to 21-8 and 11-5 in the SEC, which sent just three of its 14 teams to the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats also became the first-ever preseason No. 1 to fall out of the top 25.
Traditionally, 40-0 seasons do not feature stretches of three losses in five games.
"I come from a winning environment, so to lose, and to lose when we had so much talent was difficult," Randle said.
Webster and his wife, Tori, pleaded with Kyles to stay off the Internet, but she couldn't resist.
Some days, she'd leave her desk at work to cry in the bathroom.
"I just couldn't understand what was going on," she said.
Kyles could only attend Saturday home games and a handful of others throughout the season.
Julius had questions of his own and shared them privately with Webster. Did he make the right decision? Why is this happening? What could he do better? When would it turn around?
The only answer was keep working.
"I had to be really aggressive. I had to raise the standard and say this is what's not acceptable," Calipari said. "I never budged. But I always believed in the team and I always believed in individual players."
Step by step Kentucky inched closer to their goal, aided by a mysterious "tweak" that Calipari has referenced several times. They reached the SEC Tournament final, but fellow Final Four participant and overall No. 1 seed Florida ended the run with their third win over the Wildcats this season.
Kentucky ended up in St. Louis as the No. 8 seed in the loaded Midwest bracket. The Wildcats muscled out Kansas State for a 56-49 win, holding Bruce Weber's team to just 35.8 percent shooting.
Wichita State--also known as the 35-0 team that actually had a chance to go 40-0--awaited in Round 2. The Final Four participants a year ago were one half of a game that looked more like a Final Four game than one in the Round of 32. Kentucky survived, 78-76, becoming the first team to eliminate a No. 1 seed in this year's tournament.
"I just felt like if you put us in a live or die situation, we'd have a refuse to lose mentality," Randle said.
The win over Wichita State made it official: Kentucky was back, even if those crazy 40-0 aspirations were long gone.
"It took us four months. So now they got it. They're young, it takes time," Calipari said. "You cannot skip steps. We all want to skip steps. We all want freshmen to be sophomores and juniors. They're not. You have people say, 'Well, they're no longer freshmen.' They're still freshmen."
The round of 16 meant a second meeting with in-state rival Louisville, the defending national champions.
Kentucky rallied from down seven with 4:45 to play and closed the game on a 17-5 run to win, 74-69.
"We got here through an absolute mine field and happened to not step on a mine," Calipari said.
Randle has averaged 15.7 points and 12 rebounds a game during the tournament run, becoming the first freshman to record double-doubles in his first four tournament games since 1978.
"He's played better and better as the year's gone on. Basically he's doing less, which looks like more," Calipari said. "But it's hard to convince young people that way. It's hard to convince any of our players that if you are doing less, you're going to look better."
The win over Michigan, which ended without the two most influential people in Randle's life in the stands, provided part of a moment Randle tweeted about two years ago.
In 2014, I want to win a national championship in Dallas !!! In front of all my family and friends .. Would be crazy !! — Julius Randle (@J30_RANDLE)
April 12, 2012
Randle is expected to have about 25 family members in attendance on Saturday night.
"Time passes so fast. I think back and remember him playin' as a little kid and then in high school. It's like I close my eyes and I open them I'm looking at this 6-9, 250-pound guy playing," Kyles said. "And he's mine, he's my son. I get pure joy watching him."
When the buzzer sounds and concludes 40 minutes of hoops in front of more than 75,000 fans, keep an eye on Randle in Kentucky makes it to Monday night. You can bet he'll be looking up in the stands to find the most familiar face among the dozens he grew up with.
Kyles just may get that hug she missed last Sunday.

Meta-analysis finds vitamin E rich diets associated with lower Parkinson's disease risk
A review published in the June 2005 issue of The Lancet Neurology (http://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur) determined that moderate to high dietary intake of vitamin E may help lower the risk of Parkinson's disease. The cause of Parkinson's disease has not yet been fully elucidated, but is believed to be the result of several factors, including genes and environment. Research has found that oxidative stress and inflammation contribute to the development of Parkinson's disease, and diets high in antioxidants could help protect the cells from oxidative injury.
For the current study, Mayhar Etminan of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Quebec, Canada, and colleagues analyzed the effects of the dietary antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E on Parkinson's disease risk in eight studies involving a total of 10,881 participants.
While beta-carotene and vitamin C were not found to be associated with the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, moderate and high levels of vitamin E appeared to be protective. Moderate intake of the vitamin lowered the risk of Parkinson's disease by 19 percent, and high intake by 22 percent, although this difference between moderate and high was not considered significant.
In their discussion of the findings, the authors mention the failure of supplemental vitamin E to delay the need for levodopa therapy in early Parkinson's patients in one recent clinical trial, however they observe that Parkinson's disease does not develop until over half the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons have been destroyed, and that vitamin E may be less effective at that phase than before symptoms develop.
The authors concluded that vitamin E may have a neuroprotective effect that reduces Parkinson's disease risk, and recommend randomized controlled clinical trials to confirm the finding.
There is no substitute for professional medical management and conventional treatment with prescription drugs such as levodopa for persons with Parkinson's disease. However, there are a number of nutritional supplements and dietary considerations that can be beneficial, protective, and generally supportive of good health and the body's own natural mechanisms.
Supplementation with nutrients has reported benefits for persons with Parkinson's disease. These supplements include amino acids, antioxidants, coenzyme Q10, melatonin, folic acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, octacosanol, phosphatidylserine, NADH, and the European drug Hydergine (Snider 1984; Yapa 1992; Mizuta et al. 1993; Schulz et al. 1995; 1996; Shults et al. 1997; 1998; 1999; Beal et al. 1998; Golbe et al. 1998; Sakagami et al. 1998; Seitz et al. 1998; Beal 1999; Jimenez-Jimenez et al. 2000; Kidd 2000; Nadlinger et al. 2001; Roghani et al 2001; Ross 2001; Tan et al. 2001; Zisapel 2001; Antolin et al. 2002; Chen et al. 2002; Duan et al. 2002).
Drugs such as L-dopa alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease but are not believed to slow the underlying disease process. A recent study found evidence that CoQ10 may help stop the specific brain cell death that causes Parkinson's (Shults et al. 2002).
In this study, 80 Parkinson's patients consumed varying potencies of CoQ10 or placebo for up to 16 months. When the study ended, the patients consuming the highest potency of CoQ10 showed a 44% reduction in the decline of mental function, movement, and ability to perform daily living tasks compared to the placebo group.
The dose required to induce this dramatic affect was 1200 mg a day, a far higher amount than had ever been administered to humans in the past. CoQ10 did not improve symptoms the way current Parkinson's drugs do. Instead, CoQ10 slowed the progression of the disease, something that Parkinson's drugs do not do.

Annual blood screening is the key component for preventing degenerative disease. By providing a comprehensive snapshot of your current state of health, blood screening can catch potential health problems in their early stages when they can be managed most effectively.
Sadly, many physicians request only minimal testing for their patients. As a result, many deadly diseases ranging from heart disease to cancer silently progress undetected until it is too late. Regular blood testing is the single most important tool available to prevent degenerative disease through early intervention. Many of the advanced tests offered by Life Extension are unavailable or unknown to many doctors. It is our goal to provide our members with the latest in blood screening so that they may better control their health.

Kirsten Dunst
Everyone loves a good party and last night (December 11) a plethora of pretty girls showed up at the Coach Backstage Rodeo Drive event in Beverly Hills.
Kirsten Dunst, Juno Temple and Chloe Sevigny were in fine form as they mingled with fellow guests and checked out the hottest new fashions from the popular label. "Gone Girl" starlet Emily Ratajkowski flaunted her fabulous form in a tiny black ensemble and Kate Bosworth brought some color to the scene in her bright orange zip-up dress.
She's always up for something new, and Kirsten Dunst is coming to the small screen with a role in the new season of "Fargo."
The "Crazy/Beautiful" actress will play Peggy Blomquist, "a small town woman with big-city dreams," says Entertainment Weekly.
Rounding out the weekend with some promotional duties, Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac showed up at the Hollywood premiere of their new movie "A Most Violent Year."
Joined by fellow superstar Kirsten Dunst, the "Zero Dark Thirty" babe and the "Inside Llewyn Davis" hunk looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves outside the Cinema Prive event hosted by PANDORA Jewelry.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the place to be on Saturday night (November 1) as the 2014 LACMA Art+Film Gala honored Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino.
Kate Hudson showed up at the posh party and caught up with fellow stunners Amy Adams, Camilla Belle, Cara Delevingne , Dakota Johnson and Salma Hayek.
There's no doubt that the arrival of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram has changed the way people (and celebrities) interact, but sometimes that's not such a good thing.
Kirsten Dunst just released a new two-minute short film called "Aspirational" to show how strange things get when her fans only care about getting a selfie with her to post online.
She's a main stay in Hollywood and possibly eyeing a role in HBO's upcoming season of "True Detective," but Kirsten Dunst took a beat to chat with the latest issue of Net-a-Porter's The EDIT.
The "Spiderman" beauty is rumored to be the female lead in the award-winning drama and she discussed the possibility of a television career with the fashion mag.
It's no secret that celebrities like to take sexy selfies just like everybody else, but unfortunately a huge nude photo leak has left a ton of Tinseltown hotties feeling overexposed.
An anonymous hacker has posted compromising photos of dozens of famous ladies to an online bulletin board after breaking into the Apple iCloud storage service.
Given her youthful vibe, it's hard to believe that Kirsten Dunst isn't still a carefree twentysomething anymore.
And in the September 2014 issue of Red magazine, the "Crazy/Beautiful" actress, now 32, talks about wanting to start a family somewhere down the line.
She's come a long way since "Interview with the Vampire," and Kirsten Dunst couldn't look any hotter on the cover of Madame Figaro's June 2014 issue.
The "Melancholia" actress shares her love for France and asserts that stars like Gena Rowlands, Anjelica Huston, Julianne Moore and Charlotte Rampling are unparalleled when it comes to effortless glamour.
After an enjoyable evening out on the town, Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund stepped out of Chiltern Firehouse in London, England on Wednesday (May 13).
The Hollywood pair ignored the awaiting shutterbugs as they headed into their ride and back to their hotel.

Indoor driving fun
We were hit by a 'weather bomb' on Saturday! I had never heard the term before and it turns out a 'weather bomb' is the name for very windy wet weather. I'm not sure why they just don't call it a storm….Anyway I'm not a meteorologist but I do know wet windy weather means the kids are going to be stuck inside all day.
My husband is fantastic at making things out of furniture, blankets, pillows and anything else laying around the house. This weekend he put his building skills to use by making a car. It kind of reminds me of Fred Flintstone's car. Its such a simple idea and the kids loved it.

Oh we make rocket ships, cars and swimming pools… It has become my kids favorite activity, turning the living upside down!!! Looks like you guys had fun too I hope the weather is better…
Yep we do swimming pools too with bikinis and all! In our house a swimming pool consists of a blanket on the floor and they jump off the sofa into it…I try not to encourage jumping on the furniture but what fun is a swimming pool if you can't jump into it??

Women's Basketball | Wednesday, December 21, 2005
Payne and Bell Lead Bearcats to Comeback Win over Whittier, 63-58; Both Earn All-Tournament Honors
Los Angeles CA — Laura Payne scored eight of the Bearcat's last 14 points as the Willamette University women's basketball team came from behind to defeat Whittier College 63-58 in the second day of the Tiger Poet Classic at Occidental College.
The Bearcats (4-5 overall) were paced by Jennifer Bell's 18 points. Payne finished with 14 points and both were named to the All-Tournament team.
Sara Brooks tallied 13 points, five rebounds and five assists as the Bearcats used clutch foul-shooting down the stretch to hold off Whittier.
The game was close throughout. Whittier opened up leads up to six points twice in the second half before the Bearcats rallied from a 54-49 deficit to outscored Whittier 14-4 in the final five minutes.
Payne started the winning run with a jumper and free throw to pull Willamette within two. After a Whittier free throw, Bell stole the ball and scored to make it 55-54.
Payne gave the Bearcats the lead for good when Brooks stole the ball and fed her for a basket at the 3:07 mark. Payne scored again to put Willamette up three just under two minutes left.
A pair of Brittany Farrer free throws pushed it to 60-55. Brooks hit 2-4 free throws and Payne went 1-2 in the final minute capping a night of comebacks.
Willamette fell behind 14-6 in the first ten minutes of the game, but stormed back to tie it at 15-15 on hoops from Maggie Wilkens, Victoria Swigart and Tracie Nygaard capped by a 3-pointer from Bell.
Payne and Brooks each hit 3-pointers in the final minute and the Bearcats took a 27-26 lead into the locker room.
Whittier went up 37-31 in the first five minutes of the second half, but the Bearcats battled back again to take the lead at 40-39 on a Farrer basket.. A pair of 3's from Whittier put them back on top before Willamette ended the game with the 14-4 run.
While Whittier out-rebounded the Bearcats 32-21, Farrer had a game-high 11 boards to go along with six points. Whittier shot 41% from the floor while the Bearcats overcame a 35% shooting night to pull out the win.
The Bearcats are off until after the new year. They host Cascade on Jan. 3 before returning to NWC play.

continued Rooms in the museum are furnished with original pieces once belonging to the Penfields. Other historic furniture is also on display.
Ironville was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The homes along the main street were all constructed in the early 19th Century.
Those buildings, besides the museum, include the Harwood House, a church, a parsonage, a boarding house and homes and barns that have been in use for 150 years and longer.
The Twelfth Night tradition dates to the Middle Ages.
In early times, Christmas was 12 days of celebration, starting on Dec. 25 and culminating on the 12th night, which was considered "Christmas Day."
Hence, the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" and the play "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare.
In 529, Roman Emperor Justinian named Christmas to be a civic holiday. Work and public business not associated with the celebration of the holiday was strictly forbidden. In 563, a decree from the Council of Braga declared that fasting on Christmas was prohibited and in 567 the Council of Tours elected the 12 days from Dec. 25 to Epiphany to be sacred.
As a result, in the Middle Ages Christmas was not one day to take off work and spend with family, but 12 days of celebration. In older times, the "Twelfth Night" brought great festivities.
In some areas of the world, it is still proper to erect a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve and leave it up until a week after New Year for this reason.

Blockbuster employee charged with theftNORCROSS - The manager of a Norcross Blockbuster at 1260 Tech Drive was arrested Monday on charges of stealing from the company. Ernest A. Brito III, 27, of Duluth reportedly exploited a company policy to refund the $25 monthly charge for an unlimited movie rental pass when a customer doesn't use it. Brito looked up customer accounts where refunds were unclaimed and then credited the refund to himself, according to a police report. Brito admitted to the theft, but he said he felt like the company owed him money because he was a hard worker with a new baby at home and he had been passed over for a promotion, according to police reports. He was charged with computer theft. Lawrenceville woman's three pets shot LAWRENCEVILLE - A woman's three unusual pets were shot Wednesday by someone who snuck onto her property on Bagwell Way. A trespasser shot two goats and a duck that were kept inside a 4-foot fence, according to police reports. The victim noticed her dog barking about 2 a.m. and believed the incident may have occurred at that time. The victim told police she was scared because her ex-husband, whom she had secured a protective order against, may have found her. The woman feared her ex-husband would kill her and her children according to reports. No charges had been filed at the time of the report, but the investigation is active. Customer passes out in drive-through DULUTH - A driver under the influence of prescription drugs passed out on Sunday while going through the drive-through of a Steak 'n' Shake restaurant at 2110 Pleasant Hill Road, according to police reports. A cashier was working at the drive-through window when he asked the person in line to repeat her order and got no response. The cashier went outside and found 28-year-old Misty Michele Smallwood unconscious inside her 2000 Chevrolet Blazer with the engine running. The left rear tire was entirely up on the curb in front of the menu board. Smallwood seemed incoherent when questioned by police and swayed from side to side. She admitted to having taken a muscle relaxer recently and told an officer she had not slept in two days. She was charged with DUI drugs. - From wire reports

Pac Man Jones … a wrestler???
Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Oh, how far Professional wrestling has sunk. When I was a kid, I remember it as a little more respectable… Jimmy "Superfly" Snuke, Junk Yard Dog, Big John Stud. But, this is a new low – even for wrestling… Apparently, Pac Man Jones of the Tennessee Titans is considering a career in wrestling.
Perhaps, they can teach him lessons that the NFL cannot. Well, probably not. But, still, he might be surrounded by people "more like him". And, for that reason, maybe, it is a good thing.

Slackware 9.0 again...
Hello, ive read many problems about slackware 9.0. I installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run driver without any problems, it had to build the driver from my kernel sources. I loaded the nvidia driver with modprobe nvidia. Then I edited the XF86Config:
Section "Module"
I also tried this: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...ighlight=kt400 but that also didnt help.
[edit]hmm, my epox doesnt have a kt400 chipset. I confused it with my other mobo :)[/edit]
My specs: Amd Athlon XP 1900+, Epox 8rda+, Asus GeForce 4 MX440-SE
Re: Slackware 9.0 again...
Anything newer than 3129 (IIRC) is broken. Epox knows about the problem, and the next BIOS release is supposed to fix whatever the problem is. But for now, downgrade to 3129 if you can.

Oh man. Chili is seriously asking for an ass-whupping from Usher's wife Tameka. The TLC singer recently revealed that of all the men she's loved and lost – including Marlon Wayans – her ex Usher was the one she was meant to be with. Too bad he had all those "confessions" that prevented their relationship from really working out. Even Chili knows Tameka's not gonna like what she has to say – let's just hope she's in hiding somewhere! Check out her revelation below. Think there's a chance they'd ever get back together?
"Lord, Tameka gonna be trying to fight people. But honestly I will say, although Marlon is the one that got away, Usher is the one that I truly did love. Like that was truly my first adult love. I love him very much and I will always love him. I don't know how you love someone that deeply and just stop loving them. I'm not in love with him anymore but I can't say that I don't love him anymore. And of course I do want him to be happy and all but me and him had what I never had in any of my other relationships, and that was chemistry. Even in that picture that you have up. Any picture that you see with the two of us, you see it. It's just there! I could be standing next to him til this day and people will be like "Wow". It's not that you are wondering if we are back together again, it's just that we look like we just go together."

Reflective in many ways of The Adventures of Robin Hood, this series exuded the same engaging qualities of good over evil. Surprisingly, despite good scripts and strong acting, it lasted only one season while Robin Hood lasted four. The full series DVD release several years ago met with solid sales and was welcomed by old and new fans. Read more

DECATUR -- A man accused of shooting a toddler's father outside a suburban Atlanta preschool will take an insanity defense, his lawyer said Friday.
Defendant Hemy Neuman has filed legal notice that he intends to plead not guilty by reason of insanity in the November 2010 killing of Russell Sneiderman. The victim was shot shortly after dropping off his 2-year-old son at the preschool. A trial is set for Oct. 17.
"This case is not about whether or not he pulled the trigger," defense attorney Doug Peters said. "He is the one who did the shooting. The question is, and what is provided by Georgia law, is what was his mental capacity at the time?"
Police arrested Neuman about a month after the killing. He supervised Sneiderman's wife, Andrea, in the quality and engineering department of GE Energy in Atlanta. Investigators said in a court document filed this week that the shooting happened because of "an extramarital affair between the defendant and Andrea Sneiderman."
Andrea Sneiderman could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. Her attorney, Seth Kirschenbaum, would not comment on whether his client was having an affair with Neuman.
"We are relieved that Mr. Neuman has admitted killing Rusty Sneiderman," Kirschenbaum said. "This was a cold-blooded, pre-meditated murder. However, hopefully the prosecution is ready to rebut Mr. Neuman's insanity defense."
The decision to take an insanity defense comes after prosecutors have outlined some of their evidence in court filings.
DeKalb County prosecutors have said in court filings that a gun owned by Neuman matches the gun used to kill Sneiderman outside the Dunwoody day care center. Investigators have also said that a witness picked Neuman out of a photo lineup as the man he sold a gun to before Sneiderman's killing.

U.S.A. world cup soccer
Let me clear the air first.. I am not a soccer fan at all!
But turned the TV on this morning and the U.S. was playing some other country. Anytime we are participating in something competive with the U.S. logo on the shirt I can watch it.
What was best I think though was when the crowd sang The Star Spangled Banner before the game. Hearing a crowd of good size sing that song ought to make anybody stand up!
Crap.. We just got scored on!

Bath high school students tackle racial prejudice in 'Mockingbird'
BATH — Morse High School senior Mason Davenport said he faces his most challenging role ever in taking on the character of vehement racist Bob Ewell.
He plays one of the most reprehensible characters in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," directed by drama and English teacher Kevin O' Leary. The play, set in 1930s Alabama, will be performed in the outdoor courtyard at Morse from Thursday, May 14, through Saturday, May 16. The curtain rises each evening at 6:30.
Among the scenes Davenport rehearsed on Tuesday was one in which young black man Tom Robinson was on trial for the rape of Ewell's daughter, Mayella, a charge that proves to be untrue. In summoning up the vitriol that goes with the role of Ewell, Davenport has to use the word "nigger."
Add to that the fact that among the 30 cast members, 12 of the school's 15 black students were looking on during Davenport's performance.
"It makes me feel sick, quite honestly," Davenport said afterward. "Like right now I'm still a little nauseous from doing that. It's really hard in the fact that I like everyone, so I don't want to hurt them and I also don't want them to think badly of me, and (the role) doesn't really help that, in my opinion."
Davenport was quick to acknowledge that Ewell is, simply, a jerk: "I can't respect anything about the person I'm playing."
Still, he said his own distaste for the character guides him. "The queasier I'm getting, the better I'm doing," Davenport said. "... The worse I feel, the better I'm doing."
Estina James is among the play's black cast members. On Tuesday the senior was playing the role of the Rev. Sykes.
Speaking of the experience of hearing racial slurs during the performance, James said, "In the beginning of this play it was kind of difficult to hear it, because you don't hear it a lot in Bath. But I know that they're just acting, and so it's easy to get past it; I know none of them would ever say anything like that. But I mean it's still a hard word to hear ... but it's a play that needs to be done, and (O'Leary) picked a really good cast to do it, and people who are really considerate. I know a lot of them feel sick when they say it."
The play has been in the works for about a year, O'Leary said. He called the journey from concept to stage "an amazing trip."
"We've been rehearsing and dealing with these very difficult racial issues," he added. "We talked about it a lot in the first week, that we're going to be saying a lot of nasty words to one another here, and it was as hard for my white kids to say it as it was for my black kids to receive it."
O'Leary and his student actors talked about times in their lives that they have been pre-judged because of race, sexual preference or political party.
"We've got to address these issues," O'Leary said. "I think it's important, especially now that we have a black president. He broke down that barrier."
O'Leary said he looks forward to having many black people in the audience. "There will be parents of my black students. And that will be an interesting moment, to have these black people in the audience, witnessing this play in which their sons and daughters are called the n-word, right there. It will be hard for them to watch that."
For O'Leary as a teacher and director, he knows such scenes will be difficult from both perspectives of the stage.
"I told the kids, 'guys, I'm scared, but we've got to hold each other's hands and we'll get there together,'" O'Leary said. "We have to keep remembering, keep our eyes on the prize. And the prize is a greater understanding of what it is to be human beings, and that we're all in this together."
Performances are weather-permitting. Tickets are $8 for general admission and $6 for students and senior citizens.

Creepy Uncle Sam—last seen preparing for especially invasive evaluations of Obamacare enrollees—is back.
This time there's no dialogue and, mercifully, no calipers: Just Creepy Uncle Sam, alone in an empty hospital, makin' it rain.
The Creepy Uncle Sam Web videos, sponsored by a conservative group called Generation Opportunity, launched in September. The initial spots featured young people showing up at the doctor's office to use their newly purchased health insurance, only to be turned over to Creepy Uncle Sam for some sort of examination of their most private orifices.
Generation Opportunity also dispatched a human in a Creepy Uncle Sam getup to events that attracted a lot of young people. The idea was to encourage young adults to opt out of health insurance sold through Obamacare's exchanges.
That didn't work. More than 8 million people picked insurance plans through the law's marketplaces, roughly 28 percent of whom were young adults—not the percentage the White House wanted, but about what insurance companies expected.
So now Creepy Uncle Sam has downgraded his complaint. The latest video, posted last week, shows him standing in an empty hospital, throwing money in the air like he just don't care, because, the ad says, Obamacare is "making it rain on glitchy IT contractors."

Article from Invester's Business Daily - May 6, 2005
Pixar-Disney reconciliation pending?
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Pixar Animation Studios shares surged in early trading Friday after Chairman Steve Jobs indicated for the first time since breaking off talks with Walt Disney Co. that an extension of its long-time distribution agreement may be possible.
Last year, Pixar had broken off talks with Disney (DIS) about an extension of its 10-year relationship with the company, which is set to expire next year.
"I've had some nice conversations with [Chief Operating Officer] Bob Iger, but we are not yet in any negotiations to strike a new deal with Disney at this time," Jobs said. "We are still waiting to see what happens and we will let you know when something, if something starts to happen.""We are encouraged that there is more clarity on timing," said analyst William Drewry. "However, we believe it is unlikely Disney remains the suitor. The companies are too far apart on several issues - the production of sequels now being the biggest."

For those of us making our bucks with a job like a camp counselor or lifeguard this summer — the jobs with no sexual harassment policies or that won't carry into the school year — dating a co-worker is pretty much required. They should just include a box on the form after you fill in your name and desired salary ("Check yes if you are available." That's it.) I mean, how else are you going to maintain sanity after telling the children for the thousandth time not to run around the pool?
Of course, a lot of us have moved on passed the waitressing and babysitting gigs and on to "big girl" summer jobs where an office romance could mean the boot. So before diving into the dating pool this summer with your business boy toy, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of wading into the deep end.
Secrets, secrets are no fun…
Pro: …Unless you can keep them. The sun is strong but nothing is hotter than stolen kisses in the break room. Ah, forbidden love.
Con: When the missing camper is found under the oak tree with the carved initials into it, j-oak's on you.
Honesty: the best policy!
Pro: You know his work ethic and he knows yours. You can help each other out by reaching goals and promotions, as well as solve work-related problems together.
Con: You may have different ideas of what a clean pool or split tip looks like.
Simply a matter of time
Pro: Never before could you make money on dates (that is, if you start to consider working late date night). You know for sure you are going to be seeing each other every week. An office fling might be just the motivation you need to put on that extra coat of mascara, too.
Con: Too much of a good thing isn't always good. Sometimes it's hard to keep things private, or worse, interesting, when you see each other 24/7. And let's not even get started on how much this is going to stink if you break up!
The easiest way to meet your summer fling is at your place of work. It offers your time as a temp a playful distraction from the heat and tedious tasks. If you don't think you can carry on the romance for the three months of summer, it's best not to get involved. But shall you decide to mix business and pleasure, just remember your top priority is your work and to never to mix PDA with the PTA.
Have you ever had a summer office romance?

This stencil is a great value. I knew I wanted this one and found it in the store. I used my 40% off coupon. I agree that having two would be very helpful. I am stenciling under my chair rail and having another to cut smaller would be very helpful, but I bought the last one at the store. I have received alot of compliments on how it has turned out!

I was looking for a stencil for my walls. I had found some online for twice the price but found this one at HL. LOVE IT!!! It was simple to use and turned out beautiful! The only thing that I suggest if you have the money is buy two and cut out the top row and side row for the ceiling/floor and sides. It makes is much easier than dealing with the whole stencil in small areas.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2007 When troops stationed in the Middle East sit down to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, the turkey won't come in a brown field rations pouch.
Thanks to the efforts of the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia's efforts, troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Dubai and Djibouti will enjoy a traditional holiday meal.
"Historically, Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most family-oriented meals that there is," said Ray Miller, director of subsistence for DSCP, the agency that supplies meals to the military worldwide. "When you are deployed and you're not with (family), … it's a taste of home wherever you are."
Hundreds of thousands of troops will dine on turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, assorted pies and more. While this all sounds very "Norman Rockwell" normal, there's nothing normal about the amount of food needed to feed that many troops.
The employees sent 342,382 pounds of turkey alone. More than 15,000 containers of stuffing mix and about 13,000 containers of white potatoes will join nearly 120,000 pounds of shrimp and a combined total of 249,357 pounds of ham and beef, as well.
"It would be like 100 tractor-trailers pulling up outside your house to deliver Thanksgiving Dinnerdinner," Miller said, describing just how much food was sent to the Middle East for the dinner.
And at the back of the very last tractor-trailer would be the one thing needed to finish the meal in fine holiday tradition: nearly 163,500 pies.
As for those with no access to a dining hall, they're not destined to eat the same old everyday field rations. They, too, will get a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
"We … have provided a special ration meal called an URG-E (Unitized Group Ration – Express)," Miller said. "It won't be the turkey, but it'll be a turkey meal. It's our attempt to at least try to get something to the folks that are on the far end of the supply chain."
That effort doesn't stop with the supply center personnel. The dining facility staffs go above and beyond, often working on their own time, to make decorations to ensure the day is as special as possible.
"Each dining facility has its own theme chosen by the manager," said Army Sgt. Maj. Terry L. Stewart, a Bridgehampton, N.Y., native and food service sergeant major for Multinational Division Baghdad.
Adding a competitive element to the decorating helps to reward the DFAC workers for the time and effort they spend preparing their crafts. Each command with a dining facility judges the decorations, and medals are awarded.
Sharing a traditional holiday meal that's usually a family affair can bring servicemembers closer together Stewart noted.
"It humbles me," the sergeant major said. "Even though we are away from our families at home, those of us here are family, and we come together in fellowship and give thanks for being alive.
"It's especially rewarding to see the soldiers smile and the joy in their faces when they come through," he added.
The total cost of the Thanksgiving feast comes in at just under $5,410,000. The Christmas meal, which parallels the Thanksgiving menu, will cost about $300,000 less and already has been shipped to distribution points awaiting orders, which will start coming in during the first 10 days of December.
The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia supplies $12.4 billion worth of food, clothing and textiles, medicines, medical equipment, construction equipment and supplies, and services to servicemembers, their families and other federal customers worldwide. The center is a part of the Defense Logistics Agency.
(Army Pfc. April Campbell, 27th Public Affairs Detachment, contributed to this report.)

Ever since I got my Polaroid Spectra, I've been experimenting diligently with various "guerrilla" techniques for making and altering instant photos. One of those techniques, the double exposure, is particularly wonderful for adventurous people who want to make equally adventurous images. The exciting truth is that these methods allow you to set up a double-exposure--combining subjects and textures and lighting conditions using your imagination & experience--without completely controlling the results! If you like the sound of that, read on!
Boris the Spectra
The basic method of creating double exposures using a Spectra series camera is demonstrated in this excellent video produced by The Impossible Project. I used that as a basic jumping off point, but I found that I could get some nice results by using IP's SilverShade PZ600 film, not the ColorShade the guys are using in the video.
As always with Impossible Project films, you will want to be extremely conscientious about protecting the picture from light RIGHT after it emerges from your camera! The Spectra ejects its photos face-up, which means the potential for overexposure is built-in. There are many ways of working with this issue, and Impossible Project outlines several on its website and in videos. For these next pictures, I just postponed ejecting each photo until I was in a dark, windowless room. I then placed the images face-down to develop, as recommended.
This picture was almost a complete mistake, as I accidentally started the timer process for the second exposure before I was ready--I hadn't even picked out my second subject. Not knowing what else to do, I just held Boris above my head, pointed at the sky, as the timer beeped ominously (like a targeting alert on a ship under fire)! I was surprised and pleased by the result, especially the funny complementary diagonals created by the wiring ducts on the wall and the edges of the buildings that frame the sky.
Here's a nice approach to portraiture using double exposure. Here I used my familiarity with my subject to determine some elements of the picture, enlisting a well-used "prop" to serve as a kind of secondary portrait. My first exposure was the bicycle, and the second the actual person. If I do this one over, I might see what happens if I do it in reverse order. The "ghostly" figure is not usually what people want in a portrait, even if it does look cool.
Here I am using the classic "hold camera at arm's length and stare into the lens" method of self-portraiture. It usually works astonishingly well for me, and in this case it seems moderately successful. The interesting thing here is that the two exposures do not use the same spatial orientation, so the overlapping picture planes create a visual tension within the image. Keep that idea in mind as you look at the next three doubles...
Jesse: Big Swinger
I also recently purchased a vintage Polaroid that uses only black and white "packfilm"--the kind you peel apart after it develops, to reveal your photo and a negative image (rich with additional possibilities for picture-making, in our digitally enhanced age). It's a "Big Swinger" model, first manufactured in 1968, so the camera and I are about the same age--and that's vintage, baby. Anyway, its compatible film is still being made by Fuji, and that makes it a very accessible tool for the classic instant-photo enthusiast. Here's a bad digital photo of a very good Jesse:
Packfilm instant cameras work very differently from the more recent (and iconic) styles of instant cameras--the ones that spit out the photo. The Big Swinger is one of the models of Polaroid that require the photographer's own muscle power to start the development process and to get the picture out of the camera. The operation is so basic that it can feel almost anticlimactic. But that very simplicity of operation makes room for so much versatility in picture-making! The pull-out pictures make the Swinger family (and its relatives) damn near perfect for double-exposures. All you have to do is not pull out the picture after the first exposure!
This image is the first one in which I experimented with photographing parts of my body in the second exposure. I was intrigued here with how readable the hand was in relation to the fallen slats of the first exposure. It looks like some giant grasping to pick up the boards--and it was not intentional! A great example of the interaction between different scales or spatial relationships.
This is the definitive "competing picture planes" image. What the heck is going on here? Giants practicing hapkido on antique furniture? These pictures invite viewer participation through the narrative impulse. We want to make up stories to explain or illuminate what we see.
This is the most bizarre self-portrait I've ever made. I'm emerging from the wall, behind a stylized solar disk created by the brightly-lit chair seat and back. The two exposures use different orientations as well as different planar locations, creating a fascinating and disorienting setting for this highly symbolic portrait. What is my relationship to my environment? What is yours?
