Mummified monk found inside Chinese buddha statue
Click here to check out our online meditation store Irish Archaeology: A remarkable study carried out recently in the Netherlands has revealed that a Chinese's Buddha statue actually contains the remains of a mummified monk. The statue dates from c. 1050-1150 AD and is believed to hold the body of a Chinese Buddhist master, Liuquan.
The study of the mummy was carried out under the supervision of Erik Bruijn, an expert in the field of Buddhist art and culture and guest curator at the World Museum in Rotterdam. He was aided by a team of medics including Reinoud Vermeijeden, a …

Dalai Lama's demand for greater autonomy rejected by China
Harold Mandel, examiner.com: His Holiness the Dalai Lama's hopes that Beijing would give serious consideration to his desire for autonomy for Tibet have been thwarted by China. The Tibet Sun reported on August 7, 2013 that China has rejected the Dalai Lama's demand for greater autonomy. China has said the Dalai Lama's demand for a "high degree of autonomy" for Tibet went against the Chinese Constitution and the "fundamental interests of Tibetan Buddhism".
Yu Zhengsheng, a senior leader of the ruling Communist Party of China, said in his talks with Buddhist monks and religious officials during his current tour of Tibet, "Dalai Lama's so-called "high-degree of…

China has renewed calls to fight the Dalai Lama
Harold Mandel, Examiner.com: The Dalai Lama's hopes that Beijing's policies would ease up in dealing with Tibet appear elusive at this time. Phayul.com reported on July 10, 2013, China renews calls for 'absolute fight' against the Dalai Lama. Yu Zhengsheng, who is China's leading official in charge of religious groups and ethnic minorities, has called for an "absolute fight" against His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Yu Zhengsheng has taken the position that the Dalai Lama's demands for genuine autonomy for Tibet are in direct conflict with China's constitution. These comments were made by Yu Zhengsheng, who is number four in the ruling Communist party's hierarchy…

Prominent journalist encourages uniting against China's bullying
Harold Mandel, Examiner.com: There has been an intensification of negative feelings among activists worldwide in dealing with China's policies ever since Tibetans began self-immolating in protest of Chinese rule over the years. Phayul.com reported on May 18, 2013, 'West must unite against China's bullying.' Prominent journalist Edward Lucas has written a hard-hitting article which advocates for democratic governments in the West to unite in resisting "Chinese bullying" against those who meet with Tibet's exiled leaders.
Lucas, who is International Editor of The Economist, has argued in his article, "The Tibetan Test," which has been published online by European Voice, that Chinese bullying is working and that…

Tibet issue is raised by France with China
Examiner.com: On April 26, 2013, the Central Tibetan Administration reported, France Raises Tibet Issue with China. French President Francois Hollande has said he raised the issue of Tibet during his talks with the new leadership in China. The situation in Tibet has been becoming increasingly tragic as 117 Tibetans have set themselves on fire to protest against the Chinese government's repressive policies in Tibet.
The Tibetan self-immolators have been calling for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet and freedom for Tibetans. President Hollande, who has been on a visit to China, told a press conference that during his talks with Chinese…

"Journeys on the Silk Road" by Joyce Morgan and Conrad Walters
Marc Aurel Stein was a superstar of his time. When he returned from the Taklamakan and Gobi desert in central Asia after a successful expedition that lasted from 1906 to 1908, weighed down with treasure in the form of ancient documents, the newspapers in London were full of his exploits. Today, almost nobody has heard of him. I certainly hadn't until I read Journeys on the Silk Road by Joyce Morgan and Conrad Walters. Morgan and Walters have travelled from their native Australia to England, Wales, India and China in order to retell Stein's story and that of the document most associated with his explorations: the Diamond Sutra from the … Read more »

Tibet is burning
Xu Zhiyong, New York Times: Around noon on Feb. 19, an 18-year-old named Nangdrol set himself on fire near the Zamthang Monastery in the northeast Tibetan town of Barma. In a note left behind, he wrote, "I am going to set myself on fire for the benefit of all Tibetans." Referring to China's ethnic Han majority as "devils," he added, "It is impossible to live under their evil law, impossible to bear this torture that leaves no scars."
Over the last three years, close to 100 Tibetan monks and laypeople have set themselves on fire; 30 people did so between Nov. 4 and Dec. 3. The Chinese government …

Violent raid breaks up Burma mine protest
Thomas Fuller, New York Times: Security forces in Myanmar mounted a violent raid on Thursday against Buddhist monks and villagers who have been protesting the expansion of a copper mine. The crackdown was the largest since the civilian government of President Thein Sein came to power 20 months ago.
Witnesses said dozens of monks and other protesters were injured when the security forces used incendiary devices that set fire to protesters' encampments outside the offices of the Chinese company in charge of the project. The company has a partnership with the powerful military in Myanmar, formerly Burma.

From the ashes, Tibetan Buddhism rises in the Forbidden City
On a freezing Tuesday this week, dozens of special guests from China's cultural, political and business elites gathered within the blood-red walls of the Forbidden City. They were there for the opening of the newly restored Hall of Rectitude, the center of Tibetan Buddhism during China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing.
After a fire in 1923, the hall and about a half-dozen surrounding buildings that comprise the Buddhist architectural complex lay in ruin for nearly a century in the northwestern corner of the 8,000-room former imperial palace.
After six years of restoration funded by the Hong Kong-based China Heritage Fund, the Zhong Zheng Dian …

Four Tibetans set themselves on fire
At least four people set themselves on fire in ethnic Tibetan parts of China on Wednesday, a rights group and media reports say.
Three teenage monks set themselves alight in Aba county in Sichuan province, where many self-immolations have taken place in recent months.
One of the boys died and the other two were taken to hospital.
Later the same day a 23-year-old woman died after setting herself on fire in Qinghai province.
More than 60 Tibetans have set themselves on fire since early 2011, in what rights group say are acts of protest against Beijing's rule.

A Church in Conflict with Itself over Homosexuality
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is the largest African American church and largest Pentecostal church in the United States. And as the largest denominational black church in the country, it is also the loudest in rebuking homosexuality. But using many of the gospel music industry mega-stars from COGIC, the church's charismatic worship style shouts to a black gay male queer gospel aesthetic every Sunday. The church is conflicted with itself.

I bought 7 of these and of the 5 I've opened, 3 have broken. The little metal release tab on the frame has broken right off in one bend. Too bad you HAVE to adjust it twice just to get it opened and closed to make a necklace. That's assuming you don't mess up at all and need to reopen the frame. I tried so hard not to break the tab especially after seeing how easily it broke on the first one....still no luck. Way too flimsy. I purchased a bronze one also, however it didn't seem near as flimsy. Maybe the bronze coating gave it a little strength? Since I already had the pendants designed, I am going to try to place a drop of super glue where the tab broke off just to see if I can salvage the frame at all. Purchase at your own risk. I don't have time to return mine since I purchased them for Valentine's Day necklaces and V-day is tomorrow! Whoops!

What are the pros? Great greens
What are the cons? No dislikes
These are my favorite mustard greens. Seeds sprout quickly and grow well and will reseed the next year also from plants that have gone to seed. I love this Mustard green raw as well as cooked. It makes a great sandwich raw instead of lettuce. Love the rick mustard flavor and it is one of my must have garden veggies!

What are the pros? Flavor, quick growth,slow bolt
What are the cons? None
I planted these mustard greens at the end of June to replace a bed of spinach that was done for the season. Within about 2 weeks, I had harvestable greens. So far, no pests, but just wonderfully green, flavorful leaves. When you take a bite of a fresh leaf, the initial taste is quite mild and then a strong, but pleasant, mustard flavor kicks in after about 10-15 seconds. I think it's great, but my wife thinks it's a bit strong. Most of our use has been to cook these greens, especially for Indian saag, which is traditionally made with mustard greens. Once cooked, the mustard flavor pretty much goes away and the flavor is quite mild. So far (as of mid august), only a few plants are even flowering (the flavor does not seem to change when the plants flower as with lettuce). Keep in mind, however, that this is coastal New England, where our average summer highs are in the mid to upper 70s, max. Overall, I'm extremely pleased -- one of the best leafy greens I've ever grown.

What are the pros? Grows well & is pretty
What are the cons? Very spicy!
A very pretty, easy to grow fall green. It was just too spicy for us. If you are braising it and put your face over the pot it will make you cry!
What are the pros? hardy
What are the cons? none
Planted last fall. It tasted like wasabi to me. I like this mustard green shredded on top of cheese pizza with dill and red Thai chili peppers. It's a welcome volunteer around the garden beds.

Warlock SOV films
I have only heard of a handful of these, I posted a link to the page that shows the vhs box covers, these films looks cheaper than the old Donna Michelle Production ones that were SOV gems.
I think this company may be owned now by the kid who did the Mulva Zombie Ass Kicker movie long ago.
I've been tempted to check these out myself. I did some reading up on them a while back.
Apparently, they aren't full length films. They're about 30 - 45 minutes each. And the DVDs are literally just a burnt DVD-R with the name written in marker on the top. It does come with a case and artwork though.
I was tempted to blind-buy Happy Helladays and Death O Lantern, but can't seem to pull the trigger. They used to have VHS versions for sale, and if they were still available, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
Warlock is Chris Seaver's new company.
These look cool but $13 for a 40 minute movie? No thanks.
Yes, the price for the number of minutes is pretty bad, I almost bought all of these back in November and never paid attention to the running times.
Instead I found out that Alternative Cinema now has the rights to distribute Andrew Stevens movies, including the Shannon Tweed and Shannon Whirry ones like Night Eyes 1-4, Body Chemistry 1-4 etc, so the money was put to better use.
I received Death O Lantern and Die-B-Que in a trade havent watched them yet, but the tapes look cool.

Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present Yvette Drury Dubinsky's third solo exhibition with the gallery, opening Friday, May 10, 2013. The exhibition titled "There and Gone" is inspired by Dubinsky's intense reaction to the violence and destruction currently happening in Syria and in the Middle East and, presented as a mixed media installation with a group of related smaller works. The exhibition will be on view May 10–June 15, 2013. A catalogue, Yvette Drury Dubinsky: There and Gone, will be published on the occasion of the exhibition.
Dubinsky traveled in Lebanon and Syria in late 2009, exploring astonishing archeological treasures and monuments and befriending two Syrian families. Since then, the historic sites she visited have gone under siege and some have been destroyed. Caught in the crossfire of Syria's war, one family was forced from their Damascus home and is now living as refugees in a mountain village. The other family, from Aleppo, fled to Turkey. Without income, the two families face a dramatic change from the middle class lifestyle they led when Dubinsky met them.

Waynflete Flyers Winter Sports Preview
Waynflete is coming off a triumphant fall sports season and hopes to make magic again this winter. Girls' basketball stole all the headlines last year, winning a first ever Class C championship, while also producing the Miss Maine Basketball award winner. This year's team has some holes to fill, but it's populated by girls who are used to winning and by season's end, we'll be hearing plenty about the Flyers. The boys' team fell one win shy of playing for a championship last winter and this time around, Waynflete could very well finish the job. Swimming has a new coach, but once again features some top-notch talent, while Nordic skiing will make some noise as well. Five girls' hockey players, senior Gretchen Stevens, juniors Gavi King and Allison Mills and freshmen Chloe Daikh and Althea Sellers, are competing on the Capeflete co-op
COACH: Rich Henry (10th year, 97-71 overall record)
2012-13 record: 17-2 (Lost, 70-52, to Boothbay in Western C Final)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Henry Cleaves (Senior), Serge Nyirikamba (Senior), Joe Schnier (Senior), Harry Baker-Connick (Junior), Pace Hutchinson (Junior), Abel Alemayo (Sophomore), Milo Belleau (Sophomore), Willy Burdick (Sophomore), Will Nelligan (Sophomore)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec. 13 @ NYA, Dec. 17 @ Traip, Dec. 19 OOB, Jan. 4 WELLS, Jan. 7 @ Yarmouth, Jan. 11 NYA, Jan. 14 LAKE REGION, Jan. 24 TRAIP, Jan. 25 @ OOB, Feb. 1 @ Sacopee, Feb. 7 HYDE
COACH'S COMMENT: "We graduated three starters who were tri-captains, along with our 'energizer bunny' off the bench. Players like Harry, Henry, Joe and Serge all played significant minutes last year, so there's a great group of seasoned veterans to establish our foundation. I'm very pleased with the development our younger players have shown. I look for them to make significant contributions. We've worked very hard in practice and we've been tested in scrimmages. It's a great group of young men and the team chemistry appears to be very good. In my experience, these attributes tend to lead to good things over the course of the season. With our schedule, we'll have our work cut out for us."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Waynflete made it to the regional final last year for the first time in three decades, as Nyirikamba was named Winter Male Athlete of the Year and Henry garnered Coach of the Year honors. While the loss of captains Max Belleau, Jack Cutler, Kevin Kanakan, Paul Runyambo and Mohammed Suja will be difficult to overcome, the Flyers have the potential to be very, very good once again in 2013-14. Baker-Connick saw time at point guard last winter and he's poised to fill Belleau and Cutler's shoes nicely at that spot. He's selfless, but is also more than capable of putting the ball in the basket when necessary. Alemayo and Burdick will also see time in the point guard role. Nyirikamba (a first-team Western Maine Conference all-star last winter) will certainly pace the offense. He was third in the conference last winter with 16 points per game and could make a run at the 20 mark this season. Milo Belleau and Cleaves will also score their share of points. Hutchinson and Schnier will be workhorses in the frontcourt, while Nelligan provides depth at the guard position. The Flyers will be tested often during the regular season, as several Class B foes dot the schedule. While Waynflete probably won't match last year's win-loss record, it should be primed to make a playoff run come February. The Flyers now know what it takes to win in Augusta and after coming so close a year ago, they'd love to finish in style this time around. They have the necessary ingredients to produce a culmination to that dream.
COACH: Brandon Salway (seventh year, 99-27 overall record, one state championship)
2012-13 record: 20-3 (Beat Calais, 59-55, to win first Class C state championship)
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS:, Leigh Fernandez (Senior), Helen Gray-Bauer (Junior), Julianna Harwood (Junior)
PIVOTAL GAMES: Dec. 13 NYA, Dec. 17 TRAIP, Dec. 19 @ OOB, Jan. 3 @ Wells, Jan. 7 YARMOUTH, Jan. 11 @ NYA, Jan. 14 @ Lake Region, Jan. 17 POLAND, Jan. 24 @ Traip, Jan. 25 OOB
COACH'S COMMENT: "It's a work in progress. We're not trying to compare ourselves ability-wise to last year, but we're trying to have a similar effort. We have several players who are used to winning. They know what kind of effort it takes to be successful and although that won't always translate into wins, it does give you a great chance to improve. The schedule's very tough. There aren't very many easy games. Not much will come easily. We'll work hard and be a lot better in two months than we are now. The goal is to get back to Augusta and see what happens."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Before we move on to this season, let's take a moment to once more appreciate just how special the 2012-13 Flyers were. After several close calls, Waynflete got to the state final and somehow dug out of a deep hole behind the brilliance of Martha Veroneau to beat Calais to capture the Gold Ball. Veroneau then was named Miss Maine Basketball, a rarity for a Class C player. That team and experience can't be matched, especially after the departure of Veroneau, Catherine Veroneau, Rhiannan Jackson and Anne Veroneau, but this edition has a chance to steal some headlines as well. For starters, there's the human victory cigar, Fernandez, who has now captured a championship in five straight sports seasons after helping soccer reach the pinnacle last month. Fernandez, Waynflete's Fall Female Athlete of the Year, has played a key role in some big games over the years and will run the offense this season at point guard (she was ninth in the league last year with 3 assists per game and ranked 11th in made 3-pointers with 18). The reigning second-team Western Maine Conference all-star will also look to score her share of points. Harwood (a first-team all-star last year) will be a force inside and she can step back and make some shots as well. Gray-Bauer is on the verge of a breakout season and she will help fill the scoring void left by Martha Veroneau's departure. Several others role players from a year ago return in bigger spots this season. That group includes seniors Louise Lyall (a forward) and Emily Wasserman (guard/forward), junior Dana Peirce (forward) and sophomore Arianna Giguere (forward). A couple freshmen forwards, Annika Brooks and Ali Pope, are new to the team and provide depth. Waynflete will be severely tested by a schedule that includes some of the best teams in Classes B, C and D, but that slate will only make the Flyers tougher come tournament time. When handicapping Waynflete's chances, it's easy to look at what the program has lost and overlook what it returns, but this is still a dynamic, hungry and talented group, one that knows how to and expects to win. The accomplished trio of Fernandez, Gray-Bauer and Harwood will carry this squad a long way. A return trip to Augusta is likely, as is playing more than one game there. While a repeat title might be a stretch, it's never wise to count the Flyers out.
COACH: John Stevens (first year)
2012-13 results:
(BOYS) 9th @ Class B state meet
(GIRLS) 4th @ Class B state meet
(BOYS) Austin Fanberg (Junior), Sam Frederick (Junior), Tom Silk (Sophomore)
(GIRLS) Sofia Canning (Senior), Amelia Deady (Senior), Colby Harvey (Senior), Ellen Silk (Senior)
COACH'S COMMENT: "Our team is looking great this season. The girls are looking to win their third consecutive Southwestern championship, a challenging, but attainable goal. We have a core group of seniors looking to go out with a bang. Individual state records are goals for each of them. The boys have a strong contingent of freshmen looking to bolster a great group of upperclassmen. They will surely improve on last year's finish.."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Both Waynflete teams are looking strong as a new season begins under a new coach in Stevens, who was a co-coach with Jim Harvey last year. Stevens swam for the Portland Porpoise Swim Club and briefly at Portland High before going on to compete at the University of Miami. He's also coached at the college and national levels. He inherits a talented program.
The boys will miss the graduated Luke Jeton, who was Class B runner-up in both the 200 and 500 freestyle a year ago. This year's team features Fanburg (butterfly, backstroke), Frederick (50 free, backstroke) and Silk (50 free, backstroke). Three freshmen will be heard from as well. Booway Bikales (distance freestyle), Caleb Levine (fly, 500 free) and Peterson Silk (backstroke, breaststroke) will help lead the Flyers up the standings at the big meets.
On the girls' side, Waynflete has turned heads for the past three years, thanks to a special core of girls who played a huge part in the program's resurgence since freshmen year. The Florida State-bound Harvey is the defending state champion in the 200 free and the fly. She'll look to score in the IM as well this winter. Deady was part of two state champion relays and was runner-up in both the 100 and 200 free last year. Silk was also a multiple relay champion and placed second in the fly and third in the 500 free. Canning is a distance standout as well. Freshman Kiera MacWhinnie joins the squad and provides depth in the 100 and 200 freestyle, as well as the backstroke. The pieces are in place for the Flyers to be solid all season and to really be a factor in February. Look for some great individual successes as well in the weeks to come.
COACH: Ben Taska (second year)
2012-13 results:
(BOYS) 7th @ Class C state meet
(GIRLS) 10th @ Class C state meet
(BOYS) Nick Boulos (Junior), Aidan Olney (Junior)
(GIRLS) Phoebe Colvin-Oehmig (Junior), Marijke Rowse (Sophomore)
COACH'S COMMENT: "We're a young team this season, with not a single senior. We have a smaller squad than last year, however, we have a very cohesive group, which will be a strong suit for us. We'll look to excel with our depth, as well as improving performances from our top returnees. I believe we'll be able to make a big improvement over last year at states. I look forward to seeing where we can go this year with our motivated and very hardworking crew."
THE FORECASTER'S FORECAST: Waynflete is looking to move up the standings this winter and should produce some very good performances.
The boys' team has two key returners: Olney, who was 20th in both the classic and skate races last year at Class C states, and Boulos, who was 61st in the skate and 71st in the classic. Junior Julian Ireland is new to the team, as is freshman Ellis Heminway. That core should improve steadily in the weeks to come and could be in line to better last year's results at the big February meets.
On the girls' side, Rowse is coming off a 25th-place showing in the skate and a 26th-place finish in the classic. Colvin-Oehmig (31st in the classic and 55th in the skate last year) is another returner to watch. Freshman Ellie Chidsey could quickly become a factor as well. The Flyers will make the most of their small numbers and will only get better in the weeks to come.

The global
depression recession economic event has now effected Santa Claus. Yahoo News reports that when faced with balancing the budget in New York's Suffolk County the politicians decided to layoff Santa Claus.
The Suffolk County executive said he could not justify spending $660 of his $2.7 billion budget to pay Santa according to Yahoo. David McKell, 83, a World War II veteran and former homicide detective has donned his Santa suit for the last ten years to greet children on Long Island.
Steve Levy, the Republican County Executive's answer to laying off Santa was, "Let either the private sector come forward with a donation, or, better yet, let's tap the volunteers in the community."
Levy was quickly called a Grinch by his opponents. "Do we really have to hold Santa Claus hostage to balance the budget?" Bill Lindsay, a Democrat and the presiding officer of the county legislature told Yahoo.
"I mean, $600? Give me a break," Joseph Sawicki, a Republican who as county comptroller is charged with overseeing the county government's fiscal prudence, said in an interview. "There comes a point where you go overboard in terms of penny-pinching."

Ex-GM Workers Suspend Hunger Strike in Colombia
by Dan Molinski
Fox Business/Dow Jones Newswires
A small group of former General Motors Co. (GM) employees in Colombia who sewed their mouths shut as part of a three-week hunger strike over a dispute with the auto maker have called off the strike, GM said Thursday. The hunger strike began Aug. 1 in front of the U.S. Embassy in Bogota. The workers claim they were fired from GM's local unit Colmotores more than a year ago due to serious on-the-job injuries sustained while lifting heavy objects and doing repetitive movements on the assembly line and other tasks.
Colombian workers from GM plant continue hunger strike outside US embassy

Free Speech Radio News
In Bogota, Colombia workers from a General Motors plant continue their protest outside the US Embassy. Thirteen current and former workers from GM's Colmotores plant, launched a hunger strike earlier this month after camping out outside the Embassy for a year. Some have also sewn their mouths shut. The workers say they were dismissed from the factory after being injured on the job. GM denies the claims and says no worker has been dismissed due to health reasons. Colombia remains a dangerous place for workers and labor leaders.

At the beginning of this month a group of former General Motors (GM) workers stitched their lips shut and began a hunger strike in the Colombian capital, Bogota. They had already spent over a year outside the US embassy with no success in fighting against what they said was their unfair dismissal. The protestors say GM has fired more than 200 employees after they reported on-the-job injuries, including herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, at the company's Colombian plant.

A career in television as a post-production editor would come first for Generet (pronounced Gen-er-RAY). He had the pleasure of working on some of the finest news broadcasts on television that included the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Evening News with Dan Rather & CBS News 48 Hours. The NFL Today for CBS Sports and countless other CBS network programs. But his love and appreciation of jazz endured throughout. Three Emmy Awards and some years later, Generet found himself artistically unfulfilled and the desire to hone his craft as a singer moved to the forefront. His relaxed and friendly manner while working and listening to other artists enabled him to form friendships with many renowned musicians, most of whom he has been working with over the last few years. One in particular — pianist, producer and arranger, Onaje Allan Gumbs — produced his first recording. The result is Generet's debut CD, "(re)generet-ion", (Monsieur Music/Mosaic Records). Taking on the theme of romance, Generet has re-imagined the Standard, adding his own unique styling and vocal flexibility.
Once that work was completed, Gregory went on to work with his band. The group, made up of the musicians from the recording, went on to perform sold out performances at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center. From there he performed at other renowned venues such as Joe's Pub, The Highline Ballroom, The Kitano, Feinsteins at the Lowes Regency in New York City and Smoke Jazz Club, where he's currently in residence. Mr. Generet has performed with: Wycliffe Gordon, Branford Marsalis, Mike Renzi, Bucky Pizzarelli, Victor Goines, Kenny Werner, Sherman Irby, and Billy Stritch, among others.
His music continues to receive rave reviews from critics, listeners and colleagues alike. Critic Stephen Holden of the New York Times says of Gregory, "A voice that's so sultry you might get burned." Sheila Anderson of WBGO-Jazz 88 says, "Gregory is a welcomed addition to the music scene. Not locked into any style of music, he is a true performer. Be it ballads or blues, (he) delivers and he swings too!"
Generet lives in Harlem with his wife, actor, Tony Award winning producer and director, Tamara Tunie.

Aircraft delivery snafus have crimped plans by Virgin America to launch new flights from its San Francisco base and Los Angeles to Orlando, Florida on 19 August.
The carrier is now postponing inaugurating the new service until at least October 2010.
"In the coming weeks, the airline will release a new Orlando start date in the fourth quarter of 2010," the carrier says in a statement.
Virgin America previously said it was taking delivery of six Airbus narrowbodies this year and three in the first quarter of 2011.
The carrier in a statement characterises the delivery delay as "unforeseen". Supplying further explanation, a Virgin America spokeswoman says the delay was "caused by a slip in scheduled deliveries from one of our lessor partners".
Plans by Virgin America to inaugurate new transborder service from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Toronto on 23 June appear unchanged.

FotoWeek DC 2010: Local photographers wary of festival's development
- Photographers socialize through the night at FotoWeek's NightVisions event. (Photo: Courtesy FotoWeek DC)
When he was helping organize last year's FotoWeek DC, Theo Adamstein kept running into the same problem: The photography festival couldn't count on having space to display photographs. Organizers wouldn't learn which storefronts were vacant until six weeks before the festival, making planning ahead altogether impossible. But this year, Adamstein found a solution: Instead of printing and hanging work inside a building, he would simply project photographs on the facades of selected buildings.
Mollifying D.C.'s photographers, many of whom feel snubbed by this year's festival, may prove trickier.
In the three years since FotoWeek DC was founded, it has won praise and funding, allowing it to expand rapidly. But the direction it's growing in has become an annoyance for some local photographers who wonder what the D.C. in its title even means. Is FotoWeek of D.C., or merely in D.C.?
Four years ago, Adamstein was lamenting the fact that Washington did not have a photography competition when he got the idea for a festival. It wasn't just for galleries — photojournalism and documentary photography matched well with the city's numerous nonprofits and provided opportunities for temporary gallery space. Adamstein's printing company, Chrome Inc. (now Dodge-Chrome), laid down the cash as a founding partner of Fotoweek.
Everyone involved in the festival, and everyone who submitted work for the contest was from Maryland, Virginia, or the District that first year. "We started off local because we had no idea how this would grow. We had humble beginnings," says Adamstein.
This year's festival, Adamstein acknowledges, features more work from international than local photographers. For the first year, there were 3,500 photos from the D.C. area submitted to the contest, a number that has increased to over 6,500 from 35 countries. This year, FotoWeek will exhibit more than 1,200 images, twice what they showed in their first year, according to Adamstein.
To some local photographers, that number includes way too many works from out-of-towners.
"The first year, I was kind of gung-ho about it because it seemed like a good idea. it seemed like it was going to be focused on D.C., and it was hard to not get excited about it because nobody knew what it was going to be," says Max Cook, a local photographer, who has not participated in the last two years of FotoWeek. "Once I had a chance to digest it, it wasn't all that I had hoped it to be... I thought it was supposed to be highlighting D.C. photography, not world photography."
Many D.C. photographers are now calling on FotoWeek to explain what it wants to be. Adamstein unhesitatingly says he considers it an international festival — he thinks that to remain local would be a certain death for FotoWeek.
"We were cautioned — I won't go mentioning names — by a few art critics that the worst thing that could have happened is if it had remained provincial, if it was a small festival that celebrated local talent and that was it," says Adamstein, who has lived in D.C. since 1982. "It would be inconceivable to keep this local in an international city like Washington."
In fact, he feels strongly that having an international presence is more helpful than harmful to local photographers. International photographers and curators come to the city for the festival, where they have a chance to discover D.C. photographers' work. It also raises the profile of the awards ceremony and makes the prizes more meaningful for the winners.
But bringing curators to town for exposure doesn't mean as much when photo communities online already help them forge those ties, say photographers, several of whom declined to speak on the record because of their involvement in FotoWeek shows. And as for the awards, the locals argue that broadening the field to encourage more submissions — a moneymaker for the festival, at up to $30 per image — has only encouraged extremely established photographers from elsewhere to enter and easily dominate the competition. Blake Gopnik, the Washington Post's art critic, agrees. He wrote in Tuesday's paper, "Overall, the FotoWeek awards are a terrible disappointment. You've seen almost all their pictures many times before, in almost any publication you could name."
But the submissions are anonymous to the judges, and the awards are based entirely on quality, says Adamstein.

"It really has to do with the power of the image — it's not about it being established or not established," he says. "In theory, every winner could be completely unknown. Yes, some work is recognizable, but we're not looking for well-known people to award. That would be a different kind of award. This is judged anonymously. Everyone has a fair chance of being a winner."
I noticed that something was amiss with FotoWeek when I looked back upon an article I wrote for the City Paper about last year's festival and realized that very few of the people in it were participating this year. Commercial galleries, especially, have dwindled. Hemphill Fine Arts, which participated for the first two years of the festival — and whose owner, George Hemphill was a founding director of FotoWeek — is not participating this year. Hemphill has also taken himself off of the organization's board.
"Some galleries saw great traffic results from it and some didn't. Non-profits understood more inherently that having traffic come through the door had more value to them, as opposed to commercial galleries having a buyer come in," says Hemphill. "If Honfleur triples its traffic during FotoWeek, they put that number into grant applications. But if a gallery like mine has 200 more people come through but no one buys anything, it's an expense to me. They take price lists, they mess up the floor. But if the times are really good and you're having great traffic to the gallery, it's not a burden."
Both sides of the FotoWeek debate acknowledge its chaotic nature. It encompasses both fine art photography and photojournalism, and it has spread through all four quadrants of the city and beyond. Galleries can officially partner with FotoWeek if they're willing to pay a small fee to be listed in their promotional materials, or they can just host a concurrent photography exhibit and claim that it is part of FotoWeek anyway, which many do.
Lucian Perkins, a Pulitzer-winning photographer for the Washington Post, curated four exhibits for last year's festival. Having previously organized a photography festival in Russia, InterFoto, he is sympathetic to FotoWeek's growing pains. But while he remains on the festival's advisory board, he has dialed back his participation this year, in part because last year's shows were so much work.
"I think FotoWeek DC is still trying to find its mission," says Perkins. "If Theo can succeed at running something as big as this, with all these disciplines of photography, that can be a really interesting thing. But it's certainly big and seemingly unwieldy monster."
NightGalleries, Fotoweek's name for the building projections, is one way to tame that beast. This year, if you exclude the partner shows, you can actually see more projected images than printed photographs. Perkins' only involvement this year is a NightGalleries show of his photographs of Sudan exhibited on the side of the Holocaust Museum, one of eight locations hosting the projections throughout the week.
"What [NightGalleries has] done is it's allowed us to show a lot more work and to put bodies of work together faster and more spontaneously," says Adamstein. "To print 1,200 images and mount them and find the space to exhibit is a huge undertaking."
But while the NightGalleries are good for promoting FotoWeek and impressing donors, they aren't really good for looking at photography, says Cook, who says no one wants to stand outside in the November cold for an hour.
"I'd rather see work on a wall, or even an indoor slideshow where it's one photographer or a group who can talk about their work, rather than seeing them splashed on a wall for 20 seconds," he says.
"I sell objects: Paintings, photos, DVDs. I think those objects are magical," says Hemphill. "The projections, they're ephemeral."
Perkins was grateful for the opportunity to participate in the NightGalleries show, and found the outdoor projections "stunning." Still, he feels that they lack the personal connections that he forged in his Georgetown shows last year, where people could more directly engage with the work.
"The comments we got in the [guestbook] were amazing," says Perkins. "I felt like I had done something that had touched people in 'Iraqi Voices.' Somebody walked in here, and it made a difference their life." He recalled one entry a guest wrote wrote, saying they were so angry when they saw the show that they began to cry. Perkins said that he considered his Sudan projections to be a success but recalled that when he went to one of the projections at the Corcoran, he noticed only about 15 people who stopped to watch.
It's possible that the complainers aren't looking hard enough for the events that suit their taste. There are many opportunities to see printed photographs on a wall, as well as indoor projections with talks, such as in the Slideluck Potshow on Friday. There are also numerous locals-only opportunities, Adamstein points out: The NightVisions all-night contest, the mobile phone competition (for which the theme is the Potomac River), and the portfolio review and lecture series that are designed to help local photographers improve their skills.
There's also a special category in the contest: "The Spirit of Washington," for the photo that best captures the essence of the city. In theory, an outsider could win it, but it's more likely to go to a local photographer. This year's "Spirit of Washington" winner is Flore de Préneuf — a current Washingtonian by way of France, South Korea Great Britain, Israel and Bosnia and Herzegovina — and it's an artfully composed photo of the Housing and Urban Development building. But without having seen the other entries, and with due respect to de Préneuf, I wonder: This is the spirit of Washington? A federal office building that's been here since 1968? It's a terribly bleak thought.
As for the competition, those on the side of FotoWeek think that local photographers just have to learn to play in the big leagues.
"I can understand how wanting to keep it local would protect local photographers from outside competition, but I think outside competition is very healthy," said Adamstein. "I feel like in anything in the world, if you're doing great work, that rises to the top."
"In this case, Theo's right: You've got to open these competitions up," says Perkins. "The chips fall where they fall."
Nevertheless, the divide between the Fotoweek establishment and the local photographers may already be too deep. Locals contrasted FotoWeek with another regional photography festival, Look3 in Charlottesville, which they say is an example of how to do a festival correctly: Making it all about photographers — not spectacle — and keeping it small, rather than trying to be all things to all people.
"[Look3] was all about community, meeting people and learning, whereas FotoWeek is this beast that's all over D.C.," says Cook.
Michael Pollack, the curator of last year's Portraiture 2.0 FotoWeek show at Pyramid Atlantic has not participated in this year's festival either, and he emphasized that, although he is wary of the turn it has taken, the festival can go in any direction it pleases.
"I still maintain that FotoweekDC has become big business — if that is their intention, I have no problem with that," he says in an e-mail. "It has changed dramatically from the first locally focused and massively disorganized fair to a better organized and internationally focused fair with lots and lots of fees — but if that was always their intention, is that so wrong?"
Pollack thinks that the disagreements over FotoWeek could bring out the best in local photographers if they innovate around it.
"Maybe what our area photographers should do is form their own fair that solely highlights those photographers working and living in the DC area," he says. "I think there is enough talent here to easily draw a crowd. I would love to take that on. I think the opportunity to showcase what we have right here in our own backyard is being missed."
But Adamstein doesn't disagree — in fact, he thinks that if more photographers organized local shows under the auspices of FotoWeek, it would make FotoWeek better, too. He encourages any photographers to come to him with ideas, and notes that MetroCollective, a photography group, organized their own event with Thievery Corporation for this year's festival.
"We need to support our local community, but an organization's sole mission doesn't need to be that," says Adamstein. "I was on the board of the Washington Project for the Arts for many years, and there were artists who felt that WPA had branched out, and they created their own show. It was confrontational; it created a dialogue."
Adamstein says he is sympathetic to the grumblings of photographers, but he has no plans to dial back FotoWeek in any way. Rather, he's planning to expand it to a year-round organization, FotoDC, with FotoWeek remaining as a weeklong festival each fall. He notes that perhaps one day, he'll be able to draw a salary from it, since he has run FotoWeek as a volunteer. He's looking for a permanent gallery space this year to house exhibitions and the FotoWeek library of almost a thousand photography books, which are available to the public. He sees the space as a place where lectures and slideshows can continue the FotoWeek experience all year round — but built to serve the local community. Adamstein hopes, in exchange, that they'll broaden their views.
"I think farmer's markets should be local. I think the nature of photography should be global," he says.

Review: Kings of Summer
Every summer there's an independent film that delightful to casual moviegoers and critics who see 200+ movies a year. This year's surprise hit could be King's of Summer. To call KOS a "coming of age" story would be selling it a little short. It's a story about Joe's (Nick Robinson) search for independence. Although his […] [Read More]
Nick Robinson:The King of Summer
Sitting quietly in a studio at The W hotel, Nick Robinson is dressed in a black North Face coat – like a true Seattleite – and a t-shirt with Brooklyn rapper Notorious B.I.G plastered on the front.

I've been having a bit of fun with buttons recently. Which is funny because I always had a thing against them, maybe stemming from childhood and my grandma's large button collection that was old and musty and smelly and exactly the sort of thing I would find interesting and pretty now.
I've been using the kits that you buy from sewing stores, but I've seen those button making lever machines... I'd just have to justify the expense by making hundreds of buttons... but I don't know what I'd use them all for!

Go on .... buy the lever machine! Make lots of buttons and put them in your Etsy store. I couldn't promise to buys hundreds, but would like a few! :)

They look great! I like the button in the tree. I'm sure people would like to buy buttons to match your fabric - cushions with buttons in the same print but a different colourway would look lovely.

I think buttons are a good idea - and you could use them as a give - away (put through a business card) as well as selling them in your shop. Perfect "add-on" sale :)
They are great!

Yes, they look really really REALLY great. I'm sure they'd sell and you could use them to help tie up fabric orders - so sweet!

Your buttons are gorgeous! I love the black/natural contrast. So lovely :)

Full detailed profile on Craig Montgomery (PAST) Played by Scott Bryce on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Scott Bryce
Birthday: 1958-01-06
At Montgomery Enterprises, Craig is meeting with a possible employee - Evan Walsh IV! "Do you really think I'm going to let Lucinda's grandson come right into the chicken coop?" he asks. Evan tells Craig he has no interest in business; he is only interested in medical research. Evan gives Craig some of his research and shows Craig how Montgomery Enterprises can benefit from pharmaceutical research. Lucinda barges in. Craig introduces her to Evan! "Hi Grammie," Evan says and holds out his hand. Lucinda is shocked. Craig gives her the good news: the company may soon be backing Evan's research. Lucinda hates the idea. Craig makes an on-the-spot decision - and hires Evan! Lucinda leaves the office, runs into Meg and tells her that Craig is working on new ways to bankrupt the company! Meg proceeds inside and meets Evan. She likes his resume and tells him she looks forward to working with him. Evan leaves. Craig tells Meg he really likes Evan, especially since he let Lucinda have it. He brings up the baby and Meg angrily tells him to drop the subject! She apologizes for overreacting and Craig says he'll try to back off a little.
Meg has a nightmare, dreaming that Craig has taken the baby from her. She turns around and sees Paul but he won't help her. "You'll never get away from Craig now," he says. Meg wakes up screaming. Craig wakes and holds her. She tells him about the nightmare but leaves out the part where he took the baby from her. He promises that he'll protect her and care for her from then on. Meg goes to get ready for her day. Craig is waiting with breakfast when Meg returns and begins talking business. Meg tells him she wants to go to the farm rather than work; he offers to drive but she turns him down.
Rosanna and Paul wake up as newlyweds. Rosanna tells Paul if they want their marriage to work they need complete honesty. Then she asks why he met Meg at the cemetery the day before! Paul turns things around on her, wondering why she was following him around in the first place. Rosanna tells him she only glimpsed them and asks what they were talking about. Paul swears it was just a last-ditch effort on Meg's part and it doesn't matter. He apologizes for not telling her, saying he simply didn't want to upset Ro. She says she believes him but still has doubts. A while later Craig arrives with a wedding present. Reluctantly they accept the gift. Craig mentions Meg's illness, which worries Paul - and that annoys Rosanna! Craig assures them that it's only morning sickness. He makes a smart remark about trouble in paradise and then leaves. Rosanna and Paul head into Old Town, talking about joint bank accounts and things. Meg walks up and sees them together. Rather than ignoring them, Meg offers her congratulations. Paul asks about the morning sickness and Meg says she is fine. "I plan to take very good care of this baby," she says. Rosanna becomes even more concerned about the connection between Meg and Paul. They chat for a bit and Paul wishes Meg luck with her life. She walks away. Rosanna asks if seeing Meg bothered Paul and he says it's no big deal. Rosanna comes up with an errand for Paul and he leaves. A second later Rosanna makes a call to her private eye and asks her to follow Meg, bug her phones and find out everything he can about the child she is carrying!
Craig runs into Meg in Old Town and tells her about leaving the gift for Paul and Rosanna. He puts his arm around Meg. Paul watches them.
Annoyed because of Craig's attitude, Meg returns from the bathroom and tells him in detail how she washed her hands. Then she asks permission to call for room service. Craig tells her to order an antidote to whatever she is on! She offers to order tea, if that is alright with him. Craig tells her to stop acting like a Stepford wife! He apologizes for overreacting but points out that he is only trying to protect her. Meg tells him that overprotecting and overreacting is exactly what led to him losing his other children! "I need to know that this time it's going to be different," she says. Craig tells her he is trying to be a better man, father and husband but he needs her to be a better wife, too! He reminds Meg about all of the mistakes he has made and all that he has lost, then says he is afraid that he will lose her, too! They argue but neither gives an inch. They go to bed and Craig begins to make love to Meg. She stops it, saying she doesn't feel good. Craig offers to just hold her. Meg turns away from him, pretending to sleep.
Meg returns to the hotel room, composed and looking normal. She sees Craig and he asks where she has been. She asks about the house and Craig tells her all about it. He says he loves the house but wants to make sure that Meg wants the house - and him! - before making an offer. He asks about the walks she has been taking and tells her that the walks are going to have to stop for the baby's sake. Angry, Meg tells him she'll do as she pleases but Craig insists, reminding her that the baby is half his! "I love you," he reminds her and tells her that he only wants what is best for her and for the baby.
Meg is getting ready to leave the hotel room when she sees the wedding notice about Paul and Rosanna. Craig walks in, telling her about a last minute appointment with the realtor. Meg refuses to go! She makes up a story about visiting Emma and Craig stalks out of the room, telling her he'll keep her apprised of their home situation. Meg arrives at the farm to see Emma, who immediately asks her how things are with Craig. Meg admits they are having problems, mostly because of Paul and Rosanna. She tells Emma about the wedding and admits she still loves Paul - and she is pregnant! Emma is stunned and promises Meg that the family will stand by her no matter what. She worries that the child might be Craig's and not Paul's, and worries even more than even if the child is Paul's that Paul will never accept it. Emma tells her to put the baby first.
After calling Paul, Meg is getting ready to leave the hotel room - again! - when Craig returns. He happily tells her the house viewing time has changed and they can go together. Meg isn't really interested, which throws Craig. She tells him to look at it alone and decide. He wonders what is really going on and she makes up a story about pregnancy hormones and being tired. He offers to turn down the bed but she basically throws him out of the room, asking for time alone to rest. After he is gone, she leaves, too. A while later Craig returns and is surprised to find the room empty. He wonders where Meg may have gone, picks up the newspaper and begins to have doubts about his wife.
Craig is going on with an OB nurse at the hospital about Meg and how great she is going to be as a mother, how she'll make him a great father and how generally ecstatic he is to be having a child. Meg walks up, annoyed to see him there! "What are you so upset about?" Craig asks. They argue a bit and Meg blames her moodiness on hormones. He asks if she wants him to stay with her through the appointment or if she wants him to go. "Just give me a little space," she says and walks off.
Meanwhile att The Lakeview, Craig is meeting with a real estate agent about possible homes. He asks the agent to show him the listings for mansions that come with a nursery ready to go.

10 Eye Products to Try at Sephora
Here are some of my personal recommendations for eye products to pick up while Sephora's offering 15% off! Beauty Insiders use code TICKET, VIBs use code VIBTICKET, and Rouges use code ROUGETICKET. Feel free to share your recommendations for other readers to try!
- Urban Naked Palettes (review) if you're a big fan of various hues of neutrals that tend to lean more shimmery. I've enjoyed all three palettes enormously, and I usually take one along with me when I travel. (Pictured: Naked3)
- Too Faced Pretty Rebel Eyeshadow Palette (review) is one of the best eyeshadow palettes ever–perfect if you love rich, pigmented eyeshadows with frosted finishes.
- bareMinerals Power Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette (review) is a nice option for a neutral palette with a variety of finishes.
- Sephora 10 Shades of Samba Set (review) has ten shades of one of my favorite eyeliner formulas (Sephora's Eye Contour Pencils) in several colorful hues. (Pictured: Romantic Comedy)
- NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (review) is my very favorite eyeshadow primer–colorless, works well across brands and finishes, and keeps my eyeshadow on extra long.
- Dior Fusion Mono Eyeshadows (review) are my newest favorite for cream eyeshadows! So versatile, long-wearing, and sparkling. (Pictured: Hypnotique)
- Marc Jacobs Intro(vert) Highliner (review) is an eyeliner I get complimented on all the time–it's a cooler-toned, brighter teal that is harder to dupe.
- Urban Decay Ocho Loco 2 (review) is a set of eight full-sized eyeliners from black to teal–I'm constantly reaching for the shades in this one–and bonus, it comes with Grind House as well!
- Urban Decay Grind House (review) is my go-to for all my eyeliner sharpening needs!
- Marc Jacobs Brow Tamer (review) works nicely to keep brows in place without giving them a hard, crunchy feeling. I just picked up my second one this time around, actually!

Dont listen to the "haters" on here - if it was not any good, it would not be around still after all these years. Good prices for Soho. The Malasian curry noodle dish is amazing. Even the satay chix is delish
Posted by jgm on 11/26/2011
This is the place for great noodles, soups, spring rolls, and other Asian fare. My favorite by far is the Malaysian Curried Noodles. Wonderfully located near the Angelika Center; cool decor, good service.

I have been coming to Kelly and Ping or a long time. Last Friday I had a badexperience. Most of the stuff seems rather miserable except for the people in the kitchen and the busboys. They were all working it and hustling and smiling. They should run the front of the house.

We stumbled upon this place few months ago and it was a great find in bustling Soho, a very quiet, peaceful restaurant with pretty good food and excellent service. We've been here twice and enjoyed the food both times. The cold spring role was on a bland side but everything we've tried here is amazingly good. Our favorite so far is the crispy duck salad. We highly recommend this place.
Posted by the peripatetic eater on 01/22/2010
I've eaten here three times in five years and it only gets worse. Last night it was a disgrace!! Overpriced, mediocre, bland, poorly seasoned, ersatz Asian fare just doesn't make it. And with so many fine, authentic and better priced Thai restaurants nearby in Chinatown, why eat this mid-American version? Long waits and a discombobulated staff who can be snippy don't help.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/06/2010
This is my go to spot recently--- I can't get enough of their BiBimBop. Also they are THE best about subing things-- like I always get brown rice (a lot of Asian restaurants don't even have brown rice, or they charge extra) And my boyfriend is a vegetarian and the waiters are always so helpful in finding something to fit his needs.

2013 SRT Viper Rolls Finally Off Production Line
The official production of the 2013 SRT Viper started this month with VIN No. 001 driving off the production line of the Conner Avenue Assembly plant. The plant had been closed for two years when the company suffered bankruptcy. Celebrations were held to mark this production with Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne spearheading the event.
The New York Times then released a video showing how the Viper is manufactured at the Conner Avenue Assembly plant, the fast motion video shows various steps that the Viper undergoes before reaching the owner as a finished product. They spend half an hour on each car on the line. In regard to this, Mike Chapman a worker at Conner said that one is more like a craft person than a line worker there, while at other plants one is pretty much like a robot.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is in the midst of what he calls a tremendous, epic battle. The state's $100 billion pension shortfall is worsening each day.
"Just delaying, dilly-dallying, meandering and not getting the job done, that's not good for legislators," he said during a stop in Rock Island on Monday.
Gov. Quinn wants a compromise deal from Springfield by July 9.
"Our state, our economy is being held back by this pension cloud," he told the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce.
Groups like the chamber are well aware of the stakes. It's tough on business. The longer it drags out, the stalemate also jeopardizes residents and disrupts government.
"He certainly understands that this is a make-or-break time for the state of Illinois," said Tara Barney, the chamber's chief executive officer.
Without a deal, Illinois stands to keep losing $5 million a day. And those numbers will just grow. Without reforms, the pension shortfall could top more than $102 billion next year.
"The bottom line is that public pension reform is the real challenge to helping our economy," Gov. Quinn said.
That's putting pressure on Illinois lawmakers to complete a deal in coming days. But that deadline might not be enough.
"This is a time for people to find a place to compromise," Barney said.
Whatever the case, Illinois can't afford any more delays. The meter is running, and time is running out.
Gov. Quinn said that Illinois lawmakers must take a page from the nation's founding fathers, rising to the occasion to solve problems.
"They get paid to work," Gov. Quinn concluded. "And if they're not doing the job, there's consequences."
Gov. Quinn said that he would elaborate on those consequences after July 9. Consequences for indecision as the nation's worst pension debt keeps growing.
