Puppets, Masks, and Performing Objects at the End of the Century
John Bell
What is the situation of masks, puppets, and performing objects at the end of the century? Puppets and masks are central to some of the oldest forms of performance, and "performing object" is a term used by Frank Proschan to refer to "material images of humans, animals, or spirits that are created, displayed, or manipulated in narrative or dramatic performance" (1983:4). In the Euro-American tradition, puppets, masks, and objects have always had a strong connection to folk theatre, popular theatre, and religion, but (or perhaps consequently) they have rarely been the subjects of sustained systematic academic attention in this century. The purpose of this issue of TDR is to give some attention to performing objects in the hope that more people will be inspired to examine this rich and wide area.
Much writing about puppet, mask, and object theatre is not distinctly defined as such. Instead, it often appears within the various literatures of folklore, anthropology, semiotics, art history, theatre history, drama, and performance studies. For example, Claude Lévi-Strauss wrote about Northwest Coast Indian masks in 1975 not so much to describe what they did in performance (he didn't), but to explain tribal kinship patterns. In this issue of TDR, Stephen Kaplin criticizes Scott Cutler Shershow (1995) and Harold B. Segel (1995) for eschewing direct attention to puppets themselves, in favor of a focus on definitions of popular culture or on the puppet as "a literary trope." These criticisms point to something good writing on performing objects needs, whatever its methodology or critical perspective: attention to the objects themselves in performance. The submersion of performing object writing into other disciplines has meant that to a large extent it has been an invisible field. This invisibility--due to a lack of close, unified attention--may have helped protect the field in some ways, but it has also in many cases prevented us from understanding the intense and revelatory connections between performing objects as they have occurred in vastly different times and places. At present, things are changing. It is possible to consider studies of performing objects as a continuing, connected dialogue about different techniques in different cultures: traditional puppet and mask theatres, machine performance, [End Page 15] projected images (whether shadow theatre, film, video, or computer graphics), and rituals. This issue of TDR seeks to make a contribution to such studies, whose scope I would like to briefly outline.
In Europe, the idea that puppet and mask theatre is a subject worthy of serious theoretical consideration emerged during the period of German romanticism, and is particularly evident in Kleist's quirky and oblique 1810 essay "On the Marionette Theatre" (1918). Then, at the end of the 19th century, new thinking emerged in the suggestive, symbolist-oriented work of E.T.A. Hoffman (1946 [1819-1822]), Oscar Wilde (1909), Alfred Jarry (1965), W.B. Yeats (1921), and, above all, Edward Gordon Craig (1908, 1911, 1908-1929, 1918). The meaning of objects in philosophical, social, and psychological theory also covers a wide range, from Marx in Capital writing about the commodity as fetish object ([1867] 1972) to Merleau-Ponty's consideration of subject-object relations (1994), Heidegger's sense of "thingness" (1971), and Winnicott's "transitional object" (1971). Their thinking suggests the ways in which theories of objects can take us far (or not so far) from the modest predicament of the puppet or mask.
In the early decades of the 20th century, avantgarde practitioners such as F.T. Marinetti ([1909] 1986), Wassily Kandinsky ([1912] 1982), Fernand Léger ([1913-1925] 1973), André Breton ([1935] 1969), and Oskar Schlemmer ([1925] 1961) valorized the performing object in three new ways: as an important link between European and non-European ritual performance; as a central aspect of traditional popular theatre with contemporary experimental possibilities; and, in a particularly new manner, as the central focus of what Léger called "machine aesthetics" (see also Rischbieter 1974; Plassard 1992). These practitioners' theories frequently took the form of manifestos, a way of proclaiming that the essay in this issue by Peter Schumann continues (see also Schumann 1991).
In Russia, futurist and constructivist interests in redefining art in terms of social and political functions coincided with the semiotic, structuralist analyses of the Moscow Linguistic School, fostering Pyotr Bogatyrev's 1923 "Czech Puppet Theatre and Russian Folk Theatre," translated into English for the first time on these pages. Bogatyrev's essay was the first effort in a sustained body of critical writing about puppets, masks, and objects in the 20th century. Following Bogatryev came writings by other members of the Prague School, including Ji2í Veltrusk4 ([1914] 1964, 1983), Jind2ich Honzl ([1945-1947] 1982), collected in Ladislav Matejka and Irwin R. Titunik (1986). In 1983 Frank Proschan edited a special issue of Semiotica, collecting important examples of these writings and connecting them to later theoretical studies. However, poststructuralist theory by and large ignored performing objects in favor of the predicament of the text and the body. There were some exceptions, such as Barthes's essay on bunraku (1977). Besides Proschan, Henryk Jurkowski (1988, 1996) has served as a bridge from Prague School object theories to more recent analyses of performing objects such as those by Michael Meschke (1992), Scott Cutler Shershow (1995), Ana Maria Amaral (1997), Dina Sherzer and Joel Sherzer (1987), myself (1996b), and Steve Tillis (1992) who in this issue of TDR pays particular attention to the object in cyberspace. Also in this TDR, Stephen Kaplin attempts to unify the field, from masks to computer images, with a paradigm based on the distance between performer(s) and the object(s) they are manipulating.
In the early 19th century, the romantic movement's attention to popular culture forced it to analyze puppet and mask theatre, and the same imperative forced the newly minted fields of folklore and anthropology to examine performing objects. Thomas Sharp's 1825 Dissertation on the Pageants Anciently Performed at Coventry (as well as Fairholt 1859) dealt with the giant puppets used [End Page 16] in medieval theatre. In 1852 Charles Magnin made the first attempt at an inclusive history of European puppet theatre, and in 1902 Richard Pischel made one of the first attempts to find the roots of European puppet performance in Asian forms. The wide scope of Magnin's initial effort was followed by specific studies of puppet and mask history in different European countries.
For example, at regular intervals since 1900, commedia dell'arte mask theatre has been recognized as an integral European performance tradition (Miklachevski 1914, Duchartre 1929, Bragaglia 1943 and 1953, Nicoll 1963a, Rudlin 1994). George Speaight ([1955] 1990, 1969, 1970) has chronicled English puppet traditions, especially the handpuppet character Punch. Paul Fournel (1981) has chronicled France's Guignol, and Catriona Kelly (1990) and Russell Zguta (1978), the Russian character Petrushka. A rich variety of writers--Gaston Baty (1942), Mathilde Camacho (1939), Armond Fields (1993), Julia Bloch Frey (1977), Daniel Gerould (1981), John Houchin (1984), René Meurant (1967), and Reginald S. Sibbald (1936)--have covered particular aspects of French puppet theatre. Francis George Very (1957) and J.E. Varey (1995) have documented Spanish puppet theatre. Hans Richard Purschke (1983), Wolfgang Till (1986), Manfred Wegner (1989), and Reinhard Valenta (1991), have studied German forms. Antonio Pasqualino (1975), Italian futurist Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1947), and even Eric Bentley (1953) have studied specific puppet or mask theatres of Italy. Nina Efimova (1935), Sergei Obratsov (1950), James R. von Geldern (1987), and Vladimir Tolstoy, et al. (1990) have looked at particular puppet forms in Russia. Folklorists such as Léopold Schmidt (1972) and Joan Sheffler (1984) have studied the persistent mask and puppet rituals of central and eastern Europe. Other writers have attempted to trace particular forms across Europe and the entire world (Alford 1978, Boehn [1929] 1972, Böhmer 1977, Drux 1986, Gilles 1993, Segel 1995, Smith 1984, Sorell 1973, Taube 1995, MacGowan and Ross 1923), or to consider all puppet history as a unified field (Jurkowski 1996, Baird 1973, Kipsch 1992, Malkin 1977, UNIMA 1967). The latest such efforts are John McCormick and Bennie Pratasik's study of 19th-century European puppet theatre (1998), and Didier Plassard's anthology of writings on puppet theatre (1996). The Centre National de Recherche Scientifique has been particularly consistent in its attention to puppet and mask history (Bablet 1985, Corvin n.d., and Lista 1989), as has the Institut Internationale de la Marionette in Charleville-Mézières, France. Other historical studies have continued the work of Frederick W. Fairholt (1859) and Thomas Sharp (1825) by looking at the historical use of puppets, masks, and objects in medieval, Greek, and Roman theatre (Wiles 1993, Nicoll 1963a, Prosperi 1982, Twycross and Carpenter 1981).
The history of puppet and mask performance in the Americas is a complicated mix of Native American, European, African, and Asian performance styles, which all, in one way or another, use masks, puppets, and other objects. In 1883 Daniel Brinton described and analyzed the Güegüence mask and puppet dances of Nicaragua and in 1903 Jesse Walter Fewkes did the same with Hopi mask and puppet performance. Both Brinton and Fewkes were bound to European theatre traditions--the French comédie-ballet and Greek tragedy respectively--as analytical models for these very different performing object forms. This put them in a situation similar to that of Lévi-Strauss a few decades later. More recent studies (Cordry 1980, Geertz and Lomatuway'ma 1987, Vidal 1983, Amaral 1994, Barreiro and Guijosa 1997, Nunley and Bettelheim 1988) have studied such indigenous and popular performance forms without justifying them in terms of European traditions. The interview with Gustavo Boada of Yuyachkani in this issue of TDR underlines the particular debt of one of Peru's most important theatre groups to indigenous traditions. [End Page 17]
In 1969 Paul McPharlin and Marjorie Batchelder laid the foundation for serious studies of puppet theatre in North America with The Puppet Theatre in America. Bil Baird popularized their approach, extending it around the world in The Art of the Puppet (1973). Bauhaus refugee Xanti Schawinsky (1971) analyzed the particular emergence of avantgarde performing object theatre on this continent (which he instigated) at Black Mountain College. More recent studies--such as George Forman Brown's history of the Yale Puppeteers (1980), Stefan Brecht's extensive history of Bread and Puppet Theater (1988), Christopher Finch's study of Jim Henson (1993), and Eileen Blumenthal's analysis of Julie Taymor (1995)--have attended to particular examples of high-culture modern American puppet performance. Studies such as I. Sheldon Posen's 1986 analysis of the Brooklyn giglio have examined the continuing importance of urban performing object rituals. In this issue, Edward Portnoy's analysis of the Modicut theatre--a New York Yiddish political puppet theatre of the 1920s and 1930s--furthers our understanding of the complexity, richness, and popularity of puppet theatre and Yiddish culture. In my essay on the life and death of the Bread and Puppet Theater's Domestic Resurrection Circus I explain the development of one of that theatre's important contributions to the spectacle economy of the U.S. Richard Schechner's interview with Julie Taymor helps elucidate the development and artistic motivations of the American puppeteer--deeply influenced by her experiences in Indonesia--who has successfully used performing objects on Broadway. Theodora Skipitares's photo essay documents some of her contributions to the extraordinarily rich body of puppet work done by downtown New York theatremakers in the past three decades--a group which includes Taymor, Skipitares, Janie Geiser, Ralph Lee, Roman Paska, Lee Breuer, Basil Twist, Paul Zaloom, Amy Trompetter, Great Small Works, Hanne Tierney, Robert Anton, Stuart Sherman, Michael Romanyshyn, Jonathan Cross, and Charles Ludlam.
Just as anthropologists and folklorists examining European and American performance forms were forced to write about mask and puppet theatre, so were their counterparts who arrived in Asia on the waves of colonialism. The performance traditions of India, Java, Bali, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and other areas of the continent inspired a huge body of 20th-century literature on Asian mask and puppet forms. This literature is too extensive to attempt to even partially cover here. We must note, however, James R. Brandon's On Thrones of Gold (1970), an anthology of Javanese wayang kulit shadow plays, which placed the epic literature of that dramatic form into the center of world theatre studies. Brandon's studies of Southeast Asian (1967) and Japanese theatre forms (1982), in which puppets and masks are central, were also seminal. R.L. Mellema (1954), John Emigh (1996), Richard Schechner (1993), and others have also studied mask and puppet forms of the Indonesian archipelago, and Amin Sweeney (1980) has followed related forms of shadow theatre in Malaysia.
The Euro-American appraisal of Japanese forms has been strong throughout the 20th century. French symbolist playwright Paul Claudel is particularly important in this respect. While in Japan in the 1920s, he sought to analyze Japanese performance aesthetics without basing his assumptions on European models ([1938] 1972). After World War II Donald Keene similarly analyzed the great Japanese noh and bunraku traditions ([1965-1966] 1990). Jane Marie Law's more recent study of Awaji puppet theatre offers an in-depth analysis of a lesser-known Japanese form (1997). At the end of the century such closer analyses are now possible.
In 1961 Russian puppeteer Sergei Obratsov made an anecdotal study of Chinese puppet forms, and Roberta Stalberg (1984) continued this line with a tantalizingly brief history/theory/how-to book. Jacques Pimpaneau's 1977 study of Chinese shadow theatre demonstrates how such work can be highly rigorous [End Page 18] and analytical. While Pischel gave an important early and extravagantly orientalist view of Indian puppet theatre as the progenitor of European forms, numerous studies have since focused on particular Indian puppet and mask theatres (Blackburn 1996, Kamath 1995, Sarma 1985, Venu 1990). Salil Singh's essay on these pages examines the challenges traditional Indian puppet forms now face. In the Mediterranean area, the strong Turkish and Greek traditions of Karagöz and Karaghiozis shadow theatre have been documented by Metin And (1979), as well as by Stathis Damianakos (1986), who sets that form into a worldwide context.
Colonialist interests in Africa led to studies of African mask and puppet traditions, again, an area too vast to cover here. European exhibitions of African artifacts had a massive influence on avantgarde performance, for example Fernand Léger's 1923 Création du Monde with the Ballet Suédois (an intriguing predecessor to Julie Taymor's Lion King). In the latter half of the 20th century, studies of specific traditions in particular regions (such as Liking 1987 and Arnoldi 1995) have been complemented by more general examinations of the role of African masks, puppets, sculptures, and objects in performance (Sieber and Walker 1987, Thompson 1974, Blier 1995, Liking 1996).
The notion of performing objects can include many performance forms that are neither puppet-nor mask-centered. Léger analyzed the role of manufactured objects in performance, picking up a historical thread which goes back to the early history of automata offered by al-Jazari in the 12th century (1974). In the 1920s Max von Boehn connected the history of automata to that of puppets, and in this issue of TDR Mark Sussman looks at a 19th-century automaton in a way that reflects our increasing awareness of the central ideological importance performing machines have had in this century and will have in the next.
Another form whose importance has only recently emerged is picture performance. Victor H. Mair (1988) links Chinese and Indian performance to picture performance throughout Asia and Europe--returning, in a way, to Pischel's search for originary ur-forms. Ulrike Eichler (1975) and Tom Cheesman (1994) focused on the European history of this form. In an even more particular study, Sammy McLean (1972) analyzed how picture performance influenced the work of Bertolt Brecht. The panorama is a form of picture performance that, like the automaton, is particularly technical, and often mechanized. Stephan Oettermann (1997), Dolf Sternberger (1977), and Ralph Hyde (1988) have chronicled the development of this important precedent to film and television, and I have analyzed the 19th-century form of American panorama in terms of its function as political theatre (Bell 1996b). Other 19th-century performing object forms have been studied by Gunter Böhmer (1971) and Werner Nekes (1990).
The end of the century has seen an accumulation of resources on puppet, mask, and performing object theatre. Bibliographies by Gladys Langevin and Genevieve Leleu-Rouvray (1982, 1993), and by George Miller, Janet Harris, and William Hannaford (1981) help organize existing research. The Puppetry Home Page performs an ambitious but more limited service on the internet (see Sage 1997). Under the auspices of the Union Internationale de la Marionette, Henryk Jurkowski is editing an international encyclopedia of puppet theatre, which should appear early in the 21st century. In addition, there are now a number of journals devoted to the study of puppet theatre. Puck is published by the Institut International de la Marionette, James Fisher edits The Puppetry Yearbook from Wabash College, UNIMA-USA recently founded the journal Puppetry International, Animation represents the views of English puppet writers, and The Puppetry Journal has served for most of this century as the voice of the Puppeteers of America. Educational opportunities in the field have recently [End Page 19] broadened as well. Puppetry schools in Moscow, Bremen, Prague, and Charleville-Mézières have international reputations. The puppetry program at the University of Connecticut has trained hundreds of active American puppeteers. And most recently, in 1999 New York puppeteer Janie Geiser began to direct a new puppet program at California Institute of the Arts.
Puppet, mask, and performing object theatre has deep roots connecting a vast array of contemporary and ancient performance practices. The usefulness of writing about and analyzing these practices, and the theories behind them, will increase our ability to link worldwide traditions with worldwide innovations.

text: Municipal Pensions: A Big Problem? Douglas J. Peebles, Joseph Rosenblum July 26, 2012 Americas, Fixed Income Underfunded pension systems pose significant challenges to many state and local governments. For a few, it's an immediate problem. But as my colleague Joe Rosenblum explains, for most municipalities, pension troubles aren't really the proverbial last straw. However, while the problem is longer term, state and local governments with the greatest shortfalls need to address their pension funding shortfalls soon. Rules recently adopted by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) require state and local governments to disclose a "truer" level of their pension funding. As a result, the magnitude of reported unfunded pension liabilities will jump for many states and localities. Unfortunately, GASB does not have the power to force state and local governments to fully fund their pensions. While GASB's new rules will put political pressure on certain states and localities to increase their annual pension contributions, we don't believe they will increase municipal bankruptcies. Instead, we believe the new GASB rules will push states and localities to take a tough stance in ongoing collective bargaining negotiations. Most state constitutions prohibit promised pension benefits from being taken away, but the same guarantees do not apply to many other benefits won during far better economic times in collective bargaining agreements. These benefits—as well as the threat of layoffs—will be used as leverage to require employees to increase their pension contributions, extend their retirement age, eliminate cost-of-living increases in pension benefits and make other changes that will significantly reduce unfunded pension liabilities going forward. Indeed, just the threat of using bankruptcy to completely restructure pension and other benefits should bring municipal employee unions to the bargaining table in hopes that a less radical approach can be found. The questions we're asking regarding all municipal issuers that are underfunded are: how big is the shortfall, and how will the shortfall be remedied? We'll delve into how states are taking corrective actions around these issues in our second post on this topic next week. Stay tuned.

Welfare Policy Gets Credit for Reduction in Births: `Family Cap' Leads to Rise in Abortions
Wetzstein, Cheryl, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
The first state to try a welfare reform known as the "family cap" says the policy has reduced births to welfare mothers by 14,000, according to a long-awaited report issued yesterday by New Jersey officials.
A five-year study by Rutgers University also showed that the policy led to significant increases in contraceptive use and a small increase in abortions - as feared by pro-life advocates.
Some 21 states now have family caps as part of their welfare reforms. Seven of those states, including New Jersey, allow poor mothers to obtain abortions through Medicaid.
The family-cap policy is intended to encourage personal responsibility in childbearing by ending the practice of giving welfare mothers additional cash benefits for each child they have while on welfare. Welfare families affected by a cap can get additional food stamps, health care and other benefits for an infant, but not bigger checks.
"We think the family cap says to a family, `If you want to have another child while you are on welfare, that is certainly your choice, but it is also your responsibility - and not that of the public - to financially care for that child,' " Michele K. Guhl, commissioner of the state's Department of Human Services, said at a press conference in New Jersey yesterday, where the Rutgers study was released.
The study compared "experimental" groups of welfare mothers, who were affected by the cap, with "control" groups who were not affected.
The Rutgers study found that mothers affected by the cap:
* Had birth rates 9 percent to 12 percent lower than the control groups.
* Had abortion rates that ranged from "the same" as the control groups to 14 percent higher.
* Used family planning services 10 percent to 21 percent more often than control groups.
The study estimated that the cap led to 14,000 fewer births and 1,400 more abortions to women on welfare. It also led to 7,000 more family-planning visits a year than would have occurred without the cap.
The cap policy has been denounced ever since it was proposed in the early 1990s by state lawmaker Wayne R. Bryant, a black representative from Camden, N.J., one of the most welfare-dependent communities in America.
Civil-liberties groups called the policy "coercive" and "discriminatory." A lawsuit filed on behalf of some welfare mothers by Legal Services of New Jersey, the American Civil Liberties Union and Now Legal Defense Fund is before an appeals court.
Pro-life groups have also condemned the policy for promoting abortion.
In June, Rep. Christopher H. Smith, New Jersey Republican, learned that a draft of the Rutgers study found that the cap was increasing abortions by "about 240 a year." Mr. Smith, a devout abortion foe, called for a national ban on the policy.
The Rutgers study shows "that we were not crying wolf," Mr. Smith said yesterday.
At the press conference yesterday, lead researcher Michael Camasso said that the cap's "abortion effect" was most prominent in the beginning years of the policy. "Then it tailed off," leaving the abortion rate about the same as it was before the cap was adopted, he said. At the same time, the declines in births to welfare mothers started slowly but grew over time.
Marie Tasy, spokeswoman for the New Jersey Right to Life Committee, said her group's opposition to the cap is unchanged. …

2014 Bentley Flying Spur Test Drive
The Bentley Flying Spur is one of the few cars on the road today that have genuine presence. Immaculately manufactured machines that have been transformed by the hands of so many craftsmen, been the focus of so many hours of exacting craftsmanship that they feel powerful even when switched off and alive even when a rest. Opening any one of the four doors feels like swinging open a bank vault, the interior feels like you've stepped into an executive jet, and that jet feeling is reinforced when you crank up the 616 horsepower, twin turbocharged 12-cylinder engine and hit the throttle. O to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed approaching 200 mph is lively performance for a car weighing in at close to three tons. For more information, or to arrange a test drive, please visit Braman Bentley in Palm Beach, Florida. http://www.palmbeach.bentleymotors.com/

continued "The country dance community is very active. We have mainly line dancing here," Apicella said. "But I would entertain having any type of dancing here. I'm going to have a polka hop with a live band in December."
Providing a club-like atmosphere, the dancehall has a bar with tables, something Apicella said he hasn't seen in the Capital District.
"(It's) a place where people can come and socialize," Apicella said.
Apicella said he usually has anywhere from 60 to 100 come out for each dance, and usually with the over-40 crowd. Although her husband said the Capital District dance community "ebbs and flows," Morroni feels it is on an upswing.
"This venue here is going to make a difference for a lot of people," she said. "I think a venue like this which is very comfortable, nice, beautiful floor, great music … I'm really hoping this will bring a lot of people out."

I love to take my daughter fishing. But she only likes to go… sometimes. She has both spincast and spinning reels, which she can cast accurately. Already, she is confident landing and handling several fish species. And she loves to be near water. But, fishing is just not her thing. Yet.

I don't know if he fishes but last week, I followed the approximate path of Lebron James' moving truck and drove 1066 miles to attend ICAST in Orlando, Florida. It is the "world's largest sport fishing trade show." The 11,000 plus attendees were "industry only," so I felt fortunate to peek at some of the new, innovative recreational fishing products that will start appearing in stores. There was some overlap from companies that exhibited at…
Fishing Bat Belt
For those stormy days when you can't go fishing or boating, it is the summer movie "blockbuster" season. Maybe there is a new superhero movie. I understand another Batman movie in production. Batman differs from most superheroes in that he often relies on his "wonderful toys," as the Joker once said. Some of these gadgets are kept on his utility belt. With all of the tools that can be clipped to a belt, this fisherman…
It's hard to beat a marina in the summer
Over the winter, a friend and I tried to outdo each other with the weather. It was a perfect back and forth for on a Monday we got a foot of snow, on Tuesday he got a foot of snow, and on Wednesday I got a foot of snow. It was a race to the bottom and by April you could have stuck a fork in us, we were done. During one of those talks…
Gone Fishing for Summer
The first day of summer is here! Finally the long, dreary winter days feel far behind us. And really, what better way to celebrate the kick-off of summer than by spending quality time in the great outdoors? Lucky for you, June is recognized as Great Outdoors Month. And even better, Take Me Fishing™ has tons of ideas for how you can celebrate. TakeMeFishing.org provides fishing and boating 'where to' and 'how to' information so you…
Boating Basics
A stitch in time saves nine, goes the saying, and those true words popped into my mind a few decades ago. I had pulled over into a rest area because my trailer tire had a flat. Not a problem, I thought, for I had everything I needed to fix the flat. So I put the truck in gear, applied the emergency brake, chocked the tires and got after it. I'd be splashing at the ramp…
How (and When) to Register your Boat
If I think long and hard enough I can remember buying my first boat. I prefer not to think of it 'cause it makes me feel old. That said, I do remember being far more interested in launching and running my boat than wanting to fill out the registration paperwork. Who wouldn't be? A new boat is exciting, so here are a few pointers so you can be compliant with rules and regulations. You can knock these out in no…
Get Ready to Splash
We're coming off what seems like an Endless Winter, with even traditionally tropical regions getting cold temperatures if not snow. Regardless, it'll soon be spring and that means it's time to get your boat ready for the water. Here are some check points to consider. De-winterize your engine. Issues with oil are a leading culprit of engine problems, so start there. If you didn't winterize your boat, change your engine oil, your filter, and…
Just What I Need, a New Boat
My non-fishing friends (which are few and far between I might add), shake their heads when they look at my side yard. They'll see my Maritime Skiff center console that I use for fishing. I bought it new 20 years ago, and it's been worth every penny. Next to the skiff is my duck boat, and I got it used about 15 years ago. Next to the power boats is a Hobie Cat that my…
Show Your Fishing and Boating Spirit
I am a fishing and boating enthusiast. And I don't have to look far to determine that I am not alone. I constantly notice fishing rods in backseats, outboard motor brands on truck tailgates and rear windows, and license plates with the "jumping fish" upgrade. Here are some ways people show their fishing and boating love: 1) A kayak is always sticking out of the back of the truck, (and grinning all the time). 2) A…

June 3, 2008
Many years ago, I was at a New York Philharmonic concert with my husband. Isaac Stern was performing, and given his age, I was thrilled to be in the audience. I had a similar reaction each time I watched Leonard Bernstein conduct in his later years. I thought each performance might be his last. In the middle of the second movement of the first piece, Stern, seated next to the conductor, just stopped playing. Literally. A hush fell over the auditorium. The orchestra's sound petered out – instrument by instrument. The audience had that "what just happened?" look.

Last week, Intellectual Affairs gave the recent cable TV miniseries "Sex: The Revolution" a nod of recognition, however qualified, for its possible educational value. The idea that sex has a history is not, as such, self-evident. The series covers the changes in attitudes and norms between roughly 1950 and 1990 through interviews and archival footage. Most of this flies past at a breakneck speed, alas. The past becomes a hostage of the audience's presumably diminished attention span.

|Inclusive language on the campaign trail
|Luke Stange
Advances in justice have happened incrementally and largely through legislative changes. Galvanising such political will requires broad based support.
This discussion will be confined to exploring the fundamentals of inclusive language and how it is used in successful campaigns. I will draw upon Animals Australia as an example; their campaigns on live exports and live-baiting in greyhound racing have garnered mainstream attention and led to real changes on the ground.
It is hoped this discussion will sharpen our pencils in pitching our campaigns and make us more effective communicators.

Welcome to Serendippity. We are a small midwest cattery dedicated to breeding and raising extra special RagaMuffins kittens for extra special homes. Breeders and fanciers of the RagaMuffin believe this to be the finest pet available, and we totally agree. The RagaMuffin cat is a "rag-type" cat selectively bred to produce kittens with a loving, docile disposition and a extraordinarily sweet "Purrr"sonality to match. RagaMuffin kittens come in a rainbow of colors and patterns, so there is something for everyone. Some call it the "Teddy-Bear" of the cat world. Cat Fancy magazine, described them as "Gentle Giants".
Our cats and cattery are registered with both ACFA and CFA. We are members of the RagaMuffin Associated Group (RAG), the parent club of the RagaMuffin, founded in 1994 by our breed founders. Serendippity is also a proud member of The RagaMuffin Kitten Breeders Society. The RagaMuffin Kitten Breeders Society is a group of RagaMuffin breeders dedicated to breeding authentic RagaMuffins, preserving the sweet "teddy bear" look, while adhering to a Code of Ethics concerning breeding practices that is strictly enforced. If I do not have the kitten you are looking for, I will happily refer you to another breeder, from within these two groups, in the hopes of finding you that "Purr-fect" kitten.
On behalf of Serendippity we wish to thank you for visiting and hope you come back again, and again. Be sure to check out the "nursery" section for pictures of our newest additions and any upcoming birth announcements. Occasionally I will have a retired show or breeding cat available for adoption, so be sure and check the retired page. These cats have been cherished cornerstones in our breeding program and I want them to spend the rest of their lives in the lap of luxury, meaning that I want them to be well kept and spoiled rotten. They deserve it! If you would like additional information or just want info on the RagaMuffin please give me a call: 1-618-218-1926

At 3:43 p.m. Thursday, a 1991 Ford Fiesta driven by Francisco D. Tinoco-Gonzalez, 22, Milton, was traveling west on Highway 14 when a Ford F-350 pickup truck driven by Kelly K.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Good multi-vitamin, baby likes it
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2808138 on Feb 22, 2011
I love that it's sugar-free and free of scary additives. The only thing I am not too happy about is that it stains terribly. But that's not a big deal, just have to watch out when juggling both baby and vitamin dropper.
So far so good
Posted by Reviewer2263697 on Mar 13, 2011

Good product but my son doen't like the taste
Posted by Reviewer1114650 on May 17, 2011
I bought this for my son since it contains viamins from nature. However, I found difficult to feed since my son doesn't like the taste.
It's great!
Posted by Reviewer1309069 on Feb 19, 2012
When my son tried that for the first time, he hated even to taste it. Now he likes it. I hope it helps my son to be healthy and strong.

Taste not bad, the amont for each time is fine, too.

I have a VPS with Ubuntu 10.04 and Nginx on it and a Rails App that gets deployed to it via capistrano. So far, everything works fine. Yesterday I tried to integrate Sunspot/Solr, which was a complete desaster, becaused it wrecked my whole server and the app. So, today I tried Tire/ElasticSearch as a combination to use for full-text-search. In my local development environment everythings works fine. I installed ES via homebrew and got it up and running. After a little bit of testing I deployed the app to my VPS and installied ES on this server. When I start ES it gives me a PID and seems to work fine, but the problem is, that it seems like the tire-gem can't connect to it or find it. Because I can't save a object which would be indexed or search for something in the databse. I always get the message (I changed the IP address myself to 0.0.0.0):
Started GET "/food?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=hamburger" for 0.0.0.0 at 2011-12-22 16:43:07 +0100
Processing by PostsController#index as HTML
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "query"=>"hamburger"}
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 11ms
Errno::ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused - connect(2)):
app/models/food.rb:23:in search'
The message is nearly the same if I try to save something, only the code line where the error occurs is different.
I've been searching for hours to find out where the error is, if I missed something in the configuration or what the problem is, but I just can't seem to find it. I've been thinking that the problem is a) Tire doesn't know how to find ES, even if there is no configuration to set b) IPTables or Nginx cause the error
And also I can't open my-domain.com:9200 to access ES, but probably this is due to Nginx. Only thing is that I couldn't find anybody on the web who had the same problem or shared a way to do this.
I would really appreciate your help.

Originally published in Creation 16, no 2 (March 1994): 23.
Q: 'How could the first three days of creation be ordinary days, if the sun wasn't created till the fourth day?'
We know today that all it takes to have a day-night cycle is a rotating earth and light coming from one direction. The Bible tells us clearly that God created light on the first day, as well as the earth. Thus we can deduce that the earth was already rotating in space relative to the light-source.
God can, of course, create light without a secondary source. We are told that in the new heavens and earth there will be no need for sun or moon (Revelation 21:23). In Genesis, God even defines a day and a night in terms of light or its absence.
The evidence that ordinary days are being referred to is so overwhelming that even liberal Hebrew scholars admit that the author of Genesis could not have had any other intent—particularly when the words 'evening' and 'morning' are used from the first day. (See The Answers Book Chapter 8, and CSF tract Six Days? Honestly!)
On the fourth day the present system was instituted as the earth's light-bearers were made, so the temporary light source from the first day was no longer needed.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Drama Queen; Aged 11, Jodhi May Bullied Her Parents into Letting Her Star in the Award-Winning Film A World Apart, but She Didn't Bargain on the Attention That Came with Critical Acclaim. Her Uneasy Relationship with Celebrity Has Dogged Her Ever since, She Tells Lydia Slater
Byline: LYDIA SLATER
In the grand hall of Marble Hill House, a stately home in the middle of a Surrey park, Jodhi May is hopping from one long, skinny leg to the other in a vain attempt to get warm. In her woolly tights and knee-length grey skirt, eyes and nose too large for her face, she looks far more like a teenage schoolgirl than a seasoned, 30-year-old actress.
We spend a quarter of an hour wandering through freezing drawing rooms and icy parlours, vainly looking for chairs to sit on that haven't been roped off, and Jodhi is giggling all the while.
Most child stars, forced to grow up too quickly and too publicly, develop an unnerving precocity in their efforts to cope. Jodhi has certainly had to cope with outside interest from a very early age.
When she was just 12, she had photographers following her to school and, on her mantelpiece, a Best Actress award from the Cannes Film Festival for her performance as an apartheid-era South African child in A World Apart.
Strangely, though, all this early overachieving seems rather to have arrested than accelerated her development. Jodhi has a studious teenager's enthusiasms (reading, the theatre, art exhibitions) and ostentatious scorn for showing off - although her wardrobe is bursting with Marni.
'One of the things I really like about her,' says her friend, fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley, 'is that despite the pressure from her industry to conform by wearing a certain sort of dress and getting photographs taken, she's never shown any sign of going down that road.' 'I'm so not on that circuit of dressing up and stuff,' concurs Jodhi, when we are finally ensconced in a tiny staffroom, huddled over the radiator. Still, she's quite looking forward to being glammed up today. 'It's fun to do it occasionally.
It's something you can't ignore - it's definitely an element of being an actress. But it doesn't have to become an obsession.' The very idea of cosmetic surgery makes her burst into shrieks of horrified laughter.
And she's almost pathologically reluctant to let slip any detail of her private life, however innocent (even her father's job is off-limits).
'When you come into acting at a very young age while you're still a child, there's an extent to which so much becomes other people's property, so it's important to feel you can keep certain things that are private for yourself, otherwise you have nothing.' These days, she sees preserving a certain mystery as a vital career tool. 'It's to do with wanting to disappear into a role. Some careers are based on a personality but actors want to be as versatile as possible. You do have to try and maintain a situation where people can project as much as they need to on you as an actor. I'd be extremely embarrassed if people rushed up to me and asked me for autographs,' she says earnestly.
In this celebrity-obsessed era, such unfashionable modesty and reticence would usually mean a swift descent back into obscurity. But Jodhi's talent has kept her in the limelight whether she likes it or not. After A World Apart, she was offered the part of Alice in The Last of the Mohicans, a role that ended memorably when she hurled herself off a cliff. Subsequently, she's been a mainstay of classy costume drama, including The Other Boleyn Girl, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The House of Mirth, The Woodlanders, Daniel Deronda and Tipping the Velvet.
She's started this year with a bang: last week she was starring in a Stephen Poliakoff play for the BBC, Friends and Crocodiles, opposite Damian Lewis; next month, she makes her West End debut with Roger Allam in the critically acclaimed and thought-provoking two-hander Blackbird, as one half of a disturbingly twisted love affair. And later on in the year, she appears in the film Land of the Blind, as the mother of Ralph Fiennes' character in flashbacks.

Amazing! Your style is just perfect. This one here looks a little like some undead version of the Tyrant from Resident Evil.
thats freekin awesome looks like a creature that could be in dark souls
simply amazing man!
Great contrasts. I love the midtones on this, too. It seems to have it all. When are you going to add a background to this?
Amazing work man
you are the most amazing horror artist.
I really like this, but the detail is phenomenal. I also draw my demons with a mouth splitting down, whether going across. It gives them a more creepy appearance.
Beautiful. XD
This is really cool! Awesome artwork!
haha, awesome
i think it would have been better if the legs were made a little bigger or something... its a bit awkward :/ not that I'm good at drawing at all, good job!
Hehe I know he has cute tiny legs x) It's kinda on purpose. But thanx!
so awesome
Could you do more World War Z art?

Respond to Review of Gasthaus Schillinger
by limade
Review: Great traditional Austrian food, but all vegan. Best french fries and the dishes are generally very good. It is hard to get to without a car but if you have one it is well worth the effort. After lunch you can take a beautiful walk down the back roads. I loved it.
