As those of you who follow me on Twitter might already be privy to, Pure Magenta and I are moving to Los Angeles. In fact right now I'm sitting on the 11th floor of the Pegasus in Downtown typing out this blog post. We've spent the majority of our time here since we landed last Thursday afternoon looking for apartments and getting ourselves adjusted to the city. The catalyst for the move is my girlfriend's acceptance of a position as Art Director at Nasty Gal and honestly it couldn't have come at a better time for me.
After leaving school, like most people these days, I was saddled with quite a bit in student loans. I never really had any intention of going into the world of advertising and agencies, but with a job waiting for me at a reputable local shop with a generous salary and benefits, and a stack of student loan payments arriving in the mail, I said yes. Since I never really drank the Kool-Aid that was provided free of charge, I never felt at home in agencies. Like an imposter (or more accurately an indentured servant), I went through the motions with as much heart as I could muster with the occasional project that really caught my fancy or allowed me to learn new skills. I furthered my motion capabilities, learned more about interactive and social media. I learned how it feels to be managed, mis-managed, promoted, demoted, lauded an laughed at. I made a lot of mistakes but I also had the chance to observe a lot of mistakes that I won't make down the line.
For the last year or so in Philadelphia I've been working on a long term contract basis for 160over90. Being the transitive people we tend to be I was a little scared of signing on for a full-time position. Not to mention I can feel the days of working with ad agencies waning as I get older and more experienced in this profession. Let me premise everything I'm saying in this post by mentioning that I've had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented, bright, and honest people I've ever met while at agencies. Also, the one mentioned here, 160over90 is the most conscious, organized and process-oriented agency I've ever worked for. I have no complaints with them as a company, but rather with the agency model as a whole.
Coming from true bohemian blood (90% of my family is Czech or Moravian), my sense of commitment to things is not always what some might want it to be. This evident by the fact that I'm just now - four years plus later - getting around to wrapping up a few outstanding credits from my time at MCAD. If given the choice I will almost always take freedom over responsibility, something that has produced mixed results and a few regrets. As you can imagine these qualities tend to not mix well with the agency world, one that provides high expectations of commitment and very little freedom. Late nights in an office away from people I love feel more like punishment to me than most. This is not to say in any way that I don't value putting in effort to ensure a project's success. I have no problem working into the long hours of the night for projects that I take on outside of "work". It's more a matter of why.
I've always been troubled with the typical reward structure that agencies provide to their employees. Very few seem to respect the time and lives of the people who work so hard to create the depth and breadth of work that allows them to grow. While technology advances and makes work more efficient the constant churning of agencies compensates to ensure that you stay chained to your desk more than ever. The lack of freedom in mobility and scheduling makes the time you spend outside of work more frustrating, confusing, and ultimately unproductive. The stress that accompanies the rediculous expectations only makes the precious moments you do get to spend on yourself more of an afterthought. When you add in the inefficiencies, confusions, filters and muzzles, I'm just not entirely interested in playing that game anymore. In short I refuse to believe that talented, intelligent people cannot create work of high quality while also ensuring that same level of quality of life.
This was only complicated by the fact that the kind of work I was doing was very hit and miss as far as my interests goes. Clients like the Chronicle of Higher Education, and others were a blast to work on while most of the lesser jobs were things I wouldn't have done had it not been a requirement of the job. To compensate for this I picked up as much freelance as I could (in fact I've always picked up as much freelance as I could). There were literally moments when I would get a phone call from an art director at 10:00 on a Saturday (something unforgivable regardless) asking me to come into the office only for me to tell him that I was already booked for the entire weekend. I was constantly forced to make a decision between disappointing the people who provided my day-to-day living vs. soiling my reputation with a client I cared about. You can imagine that went over well.
I could go on and on about my experience in the agency world and typically most people who work in it can as well. So, a few weeks before Los Angeles gave my girlfriend a call, I informed 160over90 that I would be leaving. Where to? I have no idea. I've had friends tell me that they think I have some grand plan up my sleeve or that I'm hiding some opportunity that I'm scared will slip away if I mention it. In short, no. I have a good savings lined up and I have enough work to keep me busy for the forseeable future. I'm going to focus my time and energy into doing work for honest clients who respect my time and effort. I'm going to do the work I want to do the way I want to do it when it needs to be done. I'm going to collaborate with talented individuals who know things I know nothing of. I'm going to live a healthier, happier life and maybe even put a ring on a certain girl's finger.
It might all blow up in my face. I might be completely idealistic and end up shooting my career in the foot. Four months from now I might be seen schlepping my portfolio across Los Angeles begging for a paycheck but maybe, just maybe everything will work out. I guess that's what's weird about the aforementioned Bohemian blood. We might not care so much about what you want us to do, but we'll go to the end of the earth to do what we care about.
In closing, to all my current clients and the clients I've worked with over the past year - Thank you. You've made this transition possible and I look forward to providing a whole new level of dedication, craft, and thought to your work. Our futures are what we make of it and I look forward to helping you create yours while I create mine. To the agencies that helped make me the designer I am today, I thank you as well (with a slight stank-eye). May you continue to grow and find nothing but success. This world is large enough for both of us - just not necessarily in the same office anymore. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Then there was only darkness where his face should have been, and that was most frightening of all."* OffingTheOffspring: The demon holocaust. * TheOlderImmortal* ParentalFavoritism: Sieh notes that he's prone to playing favorites, as it's against his nature to treat them, or anything else, as equal. That's Itempas' schtick. Sieh tends to be his most favorite of all.* PapaWolf / KnightTemplarParent: Comes out strong in book two when godlings start dying, and in the backstory of Nahadoth going on a mad genocidal killing spree to take out the demons.* ParentalIncest* PersonOfMassDestruction: Even with his powers bound, he sinks an entire continent. He was trying for the whole world.* PhysicalGod* {{Polyamory}}* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: His hair merges with the shadows when he gets closer to his true form.* ReallyGetsAround* SiblingYinYang!!Itempas (Shiny)-->''ōI am all knowledge and purpose defined. I strengthen what exists and cull that which should not.ö''Our Whackjob, one of the three creator deities, who killed his sister to have sex with his brother forever, and spends the second book facing the consequences.[[note]]In truth, he is a bit more nuanced than that.[[/note]] Itempas is a god of light, order, and stability.* AbusiveParents: To the Enefadeh.* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse, there are two sides to every story, and his isn't heard until the second book.** He killed Enefah to be with Nahadoth, not because of simple jealousy, but because of a sort of powerful psychic backlash he was struck with when the two literally cut their connections with him temporarily while being with each other. The trauma from that sent him down to Earth to seek comfort, and his mortal wife happened to be [[{{Yandere}} completely batshit insane]]. She kindled his pain into jealousy and manipulated him into killing Enefah, killing her own demigod son (whose blood would be poisonous to Gods) and forcing Itempas to use his blood.** Itempas maintains that he knew what he did was wrong immediately afterwards, but having brought upon everyone a CrapsackWorld, he let things continue as they did out of fear that doing otherwise would destroy the world. Most of the other Gods believed that he did not think himself in the wrong, when he did.** This is implied to be the reason that his redemption took only a solid ten years of honest life rather than the millenia of suffering Yeine and Nahadoth assumed it would take.* TheAtoner* BigBrotherAttraction* BiTheWay* BreakTheHaughty* BrotherSisterIncest* BroughtDownToNormal* ButNowIMustGo: Inverted; Oree ''told'' him he had to go after some, ahem, "encouragement" from Yeine, who felt it was too soon for him to be released from his punishment even though he'd fulfilled the condition of loving truly, and gave Oree the choice of kicking him out or death. Oree decided kicking him out was best for everyone involved.* CharacterDevelopment: He's bound as a human so that he'll change for the first time.* CrazyJealousGuy: Originally light on the crazy, but he was manipulated by Shahar Arameri, who was herself completely off her rocker.* DarkAndTroubledPast* DeathIsCheap: His human form regenerates whenever he dies. He commits suicide routinely.* DeathSeeker: Played with. While he never actively attempts to kill himself, or intentionally seeks it out, while trapped in mortal form he rarely takes the most basic of precautions. Most people, when thinking "I should stab myself with this knife." would reject the thought. Itempas doesn't because he sees no reason not to.* DefrostingIceQueen* DescendFromAHigherPlaneOfExistence* TheDon: In book three. You could even call him [[IncrediblyLamePun the Godfather]].* DontYouDarePityMe* EarnYourHappyEnding* EmbarrassingNickname: Shiny, Shiny, Shiny.* EmergentHuman* MrFanservice* FlyingDutchman* ForgetsToEat* GodInHumanForm* GodIsFlawed: Edges into GodIsEvil territory on occasion, but mostly it's just a matter of him being completely and literally incapable of compromising , and given the choice between change and violence, he would most frequently resort to violence.* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Very, very fast.* GrowOldWithMe: After the end of Book 3, he returns to Oree to do this. He's even aged himself up a bit.* HotGod* HumanityEnsues* IncestIsRelative* InterspeciesRomance: With the first Shahar, and later with Oree.* JerkassGods** JerkassWoobie* JerkWithAHeartOfGold* LightIsNotGood: Though [[LightIsGood neither is it particularly bad]]. * LoveMakesYouCrazy* LoveMakesYouEvil* LoveRedeems: The condition of his enforced mortality was to stay there until he "learned to love truly", Neither Yeine or Nahadoth expected him to find it after only ten years, and forced him to leave because he hadn't suffered enough.* MilesToGoBeforeISleep* MiseryBuildsCharacter* MurderTheHypotenuse* MysteriousPast: The reader knows it, but Oree is in the dark about it for a large chunk of the book.* NewChildLeftBehind: Slightly messed with in that Tempa and Oree's daughter, Glee, chases her dad down and stays with him.* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Book one plays up the drama that the Stone of Earth kills the sacrificial Arameri who picks it up. But Itempas kills Yeine before she can pick it up, and the Stone, and because it embodies the power of a goddess of the cycle of life and death, it actually revives her. * PapaWolf: Like Nahadoth, Itempas shows this most strongly when godlings start dying.* {{Polyamory}}* {{Pride}}* RedemptionEqualsSex: Thanks for the book three opening quickie, Yeine!* RedemptionQuest-->"You will serve, not a single family, but all the world. You will wander among mortals as one of them, unknown, commanding only what wealth and respect you can earn with your deeds and words. You may call upon your power only in great need, and only to aid these mortals for whom you hold such contempt. You will right all the wrongs inflicted in your name."* ReformedButRejected: Nahadoth and Yeine initially bound Itempas to wander as a human until he corrected all the wrongs done in his name ''or'' found love. But when he found love in ten years, they decided he hadn't suffered enough and sent him back on the road. ** Even after Tempa cries for Sieh's death and is given his powers back, Yeine and Nahadoth still don't like him...well, Yeine is a tiny bit more sympathetic, but she still sides with Nahadoth in order to keep the peace.* ResurrectiveImmortality: Functionally this throughout book two and three (with an exception for death-by-demon-blood). Being put in a mortal body stops him from healing when he's hurt, like his siblings and godlings do, but if he dies, he'll heal and come back. ** Functions as ChekhovsSkill in Sieh's plan to stop the Maelstrom.* SiblingYinYang* SingleTargetSexuality: In contrast to Nahadoth and Enefa, who took loads of human lovers, Itempas is so content with the OT3 that he only takes two human lovers in all of history, and those only when Nahadoth and Enefa (or Nahadoth and Yeine) abandon him. * TheStoic* SomeoneHasToDie: Is planning to [[SuicideMission go out]] saving the world [[TakingYouWithMe from the God Mask and the Maelstrom]], hitting notes of FaceDeathWithDignity and RedemptionEqualsDeath in the process. * SunkCostFallacy: Having killed Enefa, he imprisoned Nahadoth and the Enefadeh because it was a choice between that a losing them for good, which would defeat the purpose of killing Enefa in the first place.* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Though they're brown once he turns human.* SuperOCD* TookALevelInKindness* TopGod: During book one.* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Before he TookALevelInKindness!!Enefa-->''ōShe killed things all the time, Yeine. She was death as well as life, the twilight along with the dawn. Everyone forgets that.ö'' Our Dead Girl, the dead third creation deity. Enefa was the goddess of twilight, life and death, and balance.* AbusiveParents: To Kahl.* BrotherSisterIncest* DarkSecret: Kahl.* DeadPersonConversation* GreenEyes* HotScientist* IncestIsRelative* MotherNatureFatherScience: Averted. Nahadoth and Itempas are emotional forces of nature, while Enefa is the steel-hearted scientist who creates life and offs imperfect experiments as she sees fit.* ParentalIncest* PosthumousCharacter* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Subverted. As shown by the quote above, Enefa may have been much loved, and she may have been unjustly killed but she wasn't [[IncorruptiblePurePureness all good all the time]]. She had her negative traits just like Itempas and Nahadoth do, and is accused more than once of being partly responsible for Itempas' breakdown and the second Gods' War.* WomenAreWiser[[/folder]][[folder:Godlings]]!!General Godling Tropes-->''I had not met many godlings at that point, but anyone who dwelled for long in Shadow learned this much: they drew their strength from a particular thingŚa concept, a state of being, an emotion. The priests and scriveners called it affinity, though I had never heard any godling use the term. When they encountered their affinity, it drew them like a beacon, and some of them could not quite help responding to it.''Our Divine Supporting Cast.* AFormYouAreComfortableWith* BigScrewedUpFamily* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Averted. Turns out they don't even like having worshippers that much. * TheMafia: In book three.* ParentalIncest: Everywhere!* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld* TangledFamilyTree!!Sieh-->''Madding sighed. ōMortal languages donÆt have words for this. Heģ lives true. He is what he is. YouÆve heard that saying, havenÆt you? ItÆs more than just words for us.ö I had no idea what he was talking about. He saw that in my face and tried again. ōImagine youÆre older than this planet, yet you have to act like a child. Could you do it?ö ''-->''Impossible to even imagine. ōIģ donÆt know. I donÆt think so.ö''-->''Madding nodded. ōSieh does it. He does it every day, all day; he never stops. That makes him strong.ö''Our Trickster, a lesser deity imprisoned alongside Nahadoth. Sieh is the god of childhood. * AFormYouAreComfortableWith* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Eventually becomes an actual god, and makes a new Three along with Shahar and Dekarta Arameri.* BreakTheHaughty: This happens a ''lot'' in book three.* CallingTheOldManOut: He criticizes Nahadoth's tendency to play favorites with the godlings, while also noting that it's unfair because he can't help but play favorites; it's against his nature to treat things equally when they are clearly not.* ChessMaster: Per WordOfGod.--> Sieh is TheChessmaster of the Enefadeh. Kurue was their leader, but it was SiehÆs strategies which drove much of the plot. HeÆs the one who conceived the plan to hide EnefaÆs soul in YeineÆs body. When that plan went horribly awry, heÆs the one who chose to befriend her, and in his own unique way seduce her, in hopes of convincing her to die for them.* CreepyChild* TheDutifulSon: Thinks of himself as this, while looking down on all the godlings who didn't stick by Nahadoth during his imprisonment. * EvenTheGuysWantHim* GreenEyes: To honor Enefa.* GrowingUpSucks: Especially if you're the god of childhood and have to experience puberty.* FantasticRacism: Aside from children, Sieh doesn't have a very high opinion of mortals, albeit with good reason.* FirstPersonSmartass: In book three.* HappilyAdopted: By Yeine. * HasTwoMommies: Two daddies and a mother...or one daddy, one mommy and a Naha. Or perhaps one asshole, one stepmother and one Naha...[[BigScrewedUpFamily it's complicated]].* HeroicSacrifice* IMissMom* ImmortalImmaturity* InnerMonologue: Book three's viewpoint character.* InterspeciesRomance: With Shahar and Deka in book three.* JerkassGods: Look at the choice he tries to force on Shahar!* KidsAreCruel-->Sieh chuckled. ōOf course IÆm sorry, Lil. Do I look like the kind of person who would hold a grudge? That would be petty of me.ö -->ōPetty,ö agreed the blonde woman, ōand childish and cruel. Does his suffering please you?ö -->ōOh, yes, Lil. It pleases me very much.ö Not even the pretense of friendliness this time. There was nothing in that boyish voice but sadistic relish.* MadeASlave: Thanks to ParentalBetrayal* ManChild* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It turns out that Sieh played his own unwitting part in starting the Gods' War by lying to bring Itempas home to Nahadoth and Enefa, never considering what his abandonment would do to Shahar Arameri's none too stable mind. * OffingTheOffspring: To Kahl.* ParentalIncest: With Nahadoth and Enefa; notably never with Itempas.* RapidAging: This happens in book three, where there are several instances when Sieh ages decades in a matter of hours.* SandInMyEyes* TricksterArchetype* UncannyValley: Again, per WordOfGod.--> I focused on depicting the quintessential creepiness of him Ś the ancient soul that is always visible through his childÆs eyes, the calculating adult mind which uses the wiles of a child to conceal its true complexity. But itÆs hard to keep ōcreepyö from edging into ōrepulsiveö. Sieh exists in a perpetual UncannyValley state; he looks and acts like something that he isnÆt. Something weÆre supposed to feel affection toward, not fear.* VoluntaryShapeshifting** CatsAreMagic** CatsAreMean** CatsAreSnarkers* WhatTheHellHero: At times it seems like ''everyone'' is saying this to Sieh in book three.!!Hado/Ahad/Beloved-->''ōOnce upon a time, there was a god imprisoned here. He was a terrible, beautiful, angry god, and by night when he roamed these white halls, everyone feared him. But by day, the god slept. And the body, the living mortal flesh that was his ball and chain, got to have a life of its own. It wasnÆt much of a life, mind you. All the people who feared the god did not fear the man. They quickly learned they could do things to the man that the god would not tolerate. So the man lived his life in increments, born with every dawn, dying with every sunset. Hating every moment of it. For two. Thousand. Years. Until suddenly, one day, the man became free.ö''Our Sort-Of-Clone, a human body with its own personality that comes to life by day and keeps NahadothÆs godly power imprisoned. Spends book two confusing the hell out of Oree, and book three taking not a little pleasure in both tormenting Sieh and sending him on errands.* General, and shared with Nahadoth:** LongHairedPrettyBoy** TallDarkAndHandsome* In book one:** BornIntoSlavery: Did not exist at all before Nahadoth was confined to human form.** DeathSeeker: He helps--or at least doesn't rat out--the Enefadeh because Nahadoth has promised to kill him once they're free.** GollumMadeMeDoIt: Routinely "wakes up" to find himself next to the bloody remains of people Nahadoth slaughtered at night.** JerkAss** InvoluntaryShapeShifting** LivingBodysuit** SexSlave: To Scimina, although it's heavily implied she's not the first Arameri who's done this to him.** SlaveCollar** SuperPoweredAlterEgo* In book two:** AmbitionIsEvil: In book two, Hado tells Oree that he infiltrated the New Lights in order to become an Arameri full-blood so he could eventually become the family head and rule the world. Oree is horrified.** TheCasanova** DeepCoverAgent** DragonWithAnAgenda** GoingNative: Boy has he picked up on the Arameri social-climbing, power-hungry, ambitious tendencies. Although, see below...** HighClassCallGirl* In book three:** AbusiveParents: We learn that, in his very early developing years, Ahad regarded Sieh as a father figure. Let us just say that Sieh did ''not'' live up to that image very well.** AlwaysSaveTheGirl: To Glee, of course.** CulturedBadass: The badass doesn't come out until Glee is hurt. ** BetaCouple: More or less. He and Glee have apparently been flirting for decades, but they resolve their UST a lot faster and much more easily than Sieh and Deka, and ''especially'' than Sieh and Shahar.** DefectorFromDecadence: Of a sort. He grew fed up with living in Sky due to its continued corruption...so after having an affair with T'Vril's wife and collecting his reward for doing so, he now runs an elaborate brothel. And lounges around smoking cheroots. ** EveryoneIsRelated: To be fair, it's a logical extension of [[ReallyGetsAround sleeping with half of Sky]] before he left to join the mob. ** TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: Two thousand years of emotional fuckitry at the hands of the Arameri drove him to [[MisanthropeSupreme nihilism, apathy, and general hatred]], preventing him from realizing that his divine affinity, and the thing he should be drawing power from, is love.** GenerationXerox: Sort of! Nahadoth's strange child and Itempas's daughter seem like their OppositesAttract romance will play out better than Naha and Tempa's did. (And hey, Ahad is a doppelganger of Nahadoth's Sky form while Sieh calls Glee "Itempas made over with breasts.")** [[HappilyMarried Happily Never Married]]: With Glee.** KissingCousins: Or should it be IncestIsRelative when a girl hooks up with her uncle's clone? ** LapPillow** [[LoveGoddess Love God]]** MayflyDecemberRomance: Again with Glee, although she's unusually long lived for the 'mayfly' part of the equation.** UnproblematicProstitution: He's a pimp, but a very ethical pimp.

New iPhone 4S / 5 tipped for September launch (again)
While there's still confusion regarding the name of Apple's fifth-generation iPhone (will it be iPhone 5? iPhone 4S? Something else?), here's new pseudo-evidence that the smartphone will be introduced pretty soon.
Bloomberg has it that "people familiar with the plans" say the new iPhone will arrive in September. We've certainly heard about this before, as well as about the features of Apple's next-gen handset, which should include a dual-core A5 processor, and an 8MP camera.
Design-wise, it's said that the new iPhone will "closely resemble" the iPhone 4 (pictured below). Needless to say, the iPhone 4S / iPhone 5 will run iOS 5.
Bloomberg also reports that Apple's about to finish a smaller and cheaper iPhone (iPhone Nano?) that should be targeted at users in developing markets.
The website also mentions the iPad 3, which reportedly has a display with a resolution "about one-third higher than" that of the iPad 2's display. Previous reports had it that the resolution could be 5-6 times higher, but, well, nothing can be confirmed for now.

Pittsburgh Loves Ho Hos
leads the nation in per capita consumption of Ho Hos. What's a Ho Ho? Just a sugary processed chocolate snack cake, clearly, loaded with phytonutrients—hardly. Dan Majors of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has more:
According to Hostess' data, the company produces 100 million Ho Hos a year. Pittsburghers pound 1.51 Ho Hos per person per day.Sadly, our dangerous love affair with rotten food is all too common. Just get a load of these previous posts:
The only cities that come close are Buffalo/Rochester (1.39), Cincinnati (1.37), and Cleveland (1.15).
The announcement came as no surprise to Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at UPMC at the Center for Sports Medicine on the South Side.
"I guess we just really like our snack stuff here because it's tasty, it's easy to get, and they can be fairly economical, especially if you buy them in bulk," Ms. Bonci said. "We like that taste, and our lifestyle is grab-gulp-go. The Ho Ho just fits right in with that."

The "good life" will continue to bring most Americans to a premature grave. The Eat to Live plan is not for everyone. I do not expect the majority of individuals to live this healthfully. However, they should at least make that decision being aware of the facts rather than having their food choices shaped by inaccurate information or the food manufacturers. Some people will choose to smoke cigarettes, eat unhealthfully, or pursue other reckless habits. They have that inalienable right to live their lives the way they choose.

Skip to comments.Issa letter to Obama: So the White House is involved in Fast and Furious, then?
Posted on 06/26/2012 7:37:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
In case readers didn't already realize it ... it's on. The Daily Caller has a letter sent by House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa to President Barack Obama challenging the assertion of executive privilege in the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious. In the letter, Issa tells Obama that the assertion means one of two things: either the highest levels of the White House were involved in the effort to mislead Congress on OF&F, or Obama is deliberately obstructing the investigation:
[Y]our privilege assertion means one of two things, Issa wrote to the president in a letter dated June 25. Either you or your most senior advisors were involved in managing Operation Fast & Furious and the fallout from it, including the false February 4, 2011 letter provided by the attorney general to the committee, or, you are asserting a presidential power that you know to be unjustified solely for the purpose of further obstructing a congressional investigation.
Issa said Obamas assertion of executive privilege raised the question about the veracity of how the White House has steadfastly maintained that it has not had any role in advising the department with respect to the congressional investigation.
Obama's assertion of executive privilege cited the "deliberative process" clause, but Issa rejects that as inapplicable under the circumstances:
Issa laid out that this is because the Justice Department has steadfastly maintained that the documents sought by the committee do not implicate the White House whatsoever.
If true, they are at best deliberative documents between and among department personnel who lack the requisite operational proximity to the president, as legal precedent Issa cites requires. As such, they cannot be withheld pursuant to the constitutionally-based executive privilege.
Issa further breaks down how, [c]ourts distinguish between the presidential communications privilege and the deliberative process privilege.
Both are executive privileges designed to protect the confidentiality of executive branch decision-making, Issa wrote. The deliberative-process privilege, however, which applies to executive branch officials generally, is a common law privilege that requires a lower threshold of need to be overcome, and disappears altogether when there is any reason to believe government misconduct has occurred.
Misconduct occurred on two levels. Issa's reference is to the false information submitted by DoJ officials in Congressional testimony, which is the specific subject of the subpoenas on which the contempt charge is based. However, the overall investigation into OF&F also probes official misconduct in deliberately allowing thousands of weapons to be carried over the border with no way to track them, which violates regulations at the ATF — which is why ATF insiders blew the whistle on the operation in the first place. Either way, Issa is entirely correct under US v Espy that deliberative process executive privilege does not survive in these circumstances.
The letter goes on to explain why Issa didn't cut a deal with Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder demanded that Issa "permanently" shelve the contempt charge and state that Holder had complied entirely with the subpoenas, in exchange for accepting a selective document dump, sight unseen. Small wonder the meeting didn't last long, and Holder had to run to Obama for an assertion of executive privilege immediately afterward.
If the White House wasn't involved in OF&F or the cover-up, then Holder should have just coughed up the materials. For that matter, Holder and the White House should have just fired the people involved in the first place and offered a "mistakes were made" mea minima culpa, which would have solved all of their political problems more than a year ago. This would be old and barely relevant news had Obama and Holder done so. The more they fight to keep those records secret — and especially when they offer ridiculous "deals" like the one Issa describes — the more it becomes clear that Obama really does have something to hide.
The trail is getting hotter...and closer...
Good. Keep the heat on.
Maybe Issa finally has his smoking gun. I don't think he would do this unless he did. But we will see.
Maybe it's time to subpoena Obama. The guy is such an idiot, it would make for good entertainment, if nothing else.
This appears to contradict the numerous FR posters who continually claim that Issa is a wimp doing nothing but getting played by Obama.
Can an emperor be subpoenaed?
To this day, I believe that F&F originated in Hillary's Department of State. While Holder is certainly capable of as much on his own, I doubt seriously that he would rig a gambit like this involving another country without DOS consent. He's too much of a coward not to assure that he won't be hung out to dry on his own.
I can see no other objective in this game worth the risk other than the complete destruction of the Second Amendment pursuant to the UN Small Arms Treaty. That's her turf too.
I agree with you...and THAT is the reason obama exerted executive privilege.
wouldnt it be interesting if the docs showed Gabby Giffords perp to have used one?
Issa has been "operating under the radar". Love it.
Looks like baraq is getting played by Issa while giving the impression of the opposite. Especially since baraq tried to use executive privaledge.
I have often wondered that.
Issa has plenty of smoking guns. Going to be lots of October surprises.
Originated, dunno. Involved, yes.
Hillary would have Holder's head on a platter if his subordinates facilitated violent crimes in another country without her notification & approval.
And, of course, something that severe linking DoJ with DoS _must_ have POTUS approval.
Issa just informed the Obama "last chance; how do you want this to go down? because it - and you - will." He hasn't been in a hurry (as some FReepers have agonized over) because he's in a very high stakes game of chess: loser rots in prison (or some equivalent).
GOP, take a good, hard look at Congressman Issa:
This is what a REAL Republican looks like.
Cowboy the hell up and support him.
It has to be considered that Obama will pardon anyone that appears to be implicated.
There are a lot of bed wetters, hand wringers and wet blankets around. ;-)
Only sitting Presidents can pardon.
Imprisoned ex-Presidents cannot.
I'm as cynical about elected officials as any guy who grew up in Chicago, but Issa is pushing this pretty hard. I think he deserves an attaboy...
Zero will try to turn the Military on America before he is held legally accountable for anything.
"try" being the operative word.
That attempt would just make it that much easier to remove him.
"Issa just informed the Obama last chance; how do you want this to go down? because it - and you - will. He hasnt been in a hurry (as some FReepers have agonized over) because hes in a very high stakes game of chess: loser rots in prison (or some equivalent)."
Not to mention the DNC hasn't had their convention yet whereby their nominate Zero as their candidate. If Issa pulls the trigger right now then the DNC would have time to get someone else in as the candidate and perhaps win the election. Right now it looks like Romney will clean Zero's clock. Not to mention, by getting this resolved closer to the election other seats in Congress become weaker for the DNC to win as Issa points to the Democrats as responsible for this..
I remember reading that in Nixon's final days, Alexander Haig contacted the Joint Chiefs and said if Nixon orders the military to occupy American cities to ignore the order.
I believe this was from a Theodore White book. My apologies to the author and/or Mr. White if this isn't a accurate quote.
I have heard Sean Hannity say that both Issa, and Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee have more info than they have stated publicly, and at the appropriate time... Let us just say that things could get interesting.
"BUT we have conservative am talkers saying the GOP has to get off this kick"
Who? Name some names!
I agree. He's been a bulldog.
The Military would turn on Zero or any other president before they would turn on America.
This withHOLDERgate is going no where.
A man's dead, and other men like the man who died are charged with protecting the border. If we drop it, what message does that send to the people who are still attempting to do that job.
"Take the bribe, because your government has already painted the bullseye on your ass, amigo. Spend this envelope full of money in good health.
As such, I'm afraid 'dropping this' isn't a viable alternative for any elected official worthy of their oath. Those with that opinion should either resign, or prepare themselves for the day nobody responds when they dial 911.
That's what makes this different than Watergate. Watergate was crap in comparison. An overblown tempest in a teapot engineered by a compliant press and a collection of cowards.
Really!? Hmmm... who are you listening to? I have not heard any of my talker faves even come close to say that. I don't doubt you. I'm just curious who it is saying that so I know who to avoid listening to.
Romney has to get back on the economy and leave poor Obozo/withHOLDER alone.
I believe it's better that Romney allow those elected officials focus on the Fast & Furious investigation. I think Romney should focus his campaign on Obama's economic, foreign and energy policies and the power grabbing he utilizes to push forward those policies. I do think Romney should touch on the Fast & Furious issue in his speeches and also speak about the Obama vs Arizona debacle.
I would like him to say that as President he will make sure that Fast & Furious investigation will continue and justice will be served for all the deaths that had occurred no matter how high up the ladder those responsible may be.
Who? Name some names!
Micahael Meds
Though it's well on the way,
the left hasn't "queered" the military enough to get the majority of its members to act as their own tyranical police force.
Don't get distracted.
Playing games that way loses.
If I may.....You left out "hankie twisters." John Boehner comes to mind. And if he isn't one, let him prove it and I'll be THRILLED to apologize and tell him, "You da' MAN!"
Obviously. This President will not allow himself to be impeached and thrown in jail though. If it begins to look like this is more than a possibility he would resign and have Biden pardon him. Not that I am opposed to him resigning but preferably everyone and anyone that planned and executed operation "Fast and Furious" should be in jail.
" GOP, take a good, hard look at Congressman Issa:
This is what a REAL Republican looks like."
Yeah, and we may have about 4 left in the whole country......
"...Yeah, and we may have about 4 left in the whole country...."
Well, that's a good start, brother!!! :^) At least it ain't only three!!!
One man can be a positive example to many. One man with courage can be infectious.
I was referring to people who post about how long it's taking to do anything, that nothing will ever happen and that Issa has no balls.
Douglas MacArthur drove tanks on 15000 unarmed unemployed hungry WWI veterans during the Bonus March protest. The 101st lined up against the "will of the people of Arkansas" at the direction of Ike for civil rights.
During 9/11, F-16's were armed and prepped to take out a commercial airliner.
Especially if it appears to be an existential crisis, the military will follow orders.
So you could be right, but there's a plenty of examples of the US military favoring their command structure first and "turning on" whoever the President says is the bad guy.
The opposition to a standing army by the founders was exactly because they knew we could find ourselves wondering who's side they'll be on.
whose side they'd be on... I meant.
Actually rottdog, you beg an interesting question.... Is there ANY example in modern history of the US Military turning on their commanders in deference to citizens?
I think we all agree that the local police forces are loading up on GI Joe accouterments, we can guess which side the union cops will take.
Have we any examples of the US Military standing down rogue policing operations to protect citizens? In New Orleans? In Waco? Anywhere? Or do they just provide assistance in the form of advisors or just watch with observers?
"I remember reading that in Nixons final days, Alexander Haig contacted the Joint Chiefs and said if Nixon orders the military to occupy American cities to ignore the order."
Or maybe it was Nixon who told the JCS to ignore Haig....lolololol
The New Orleans confiscations stopped quick when other departments objected. Whatever happened was kept quiet but worked.
IMHO there was another purpose besides gun control: The arming of reconquista guerillas in Texas, New Mexico , and Arizona, based in and working out of federal lands in these states. Few understand the scope of Obamas usurpation, or why it would be done. Obama is a fascist*. Few understand that. We have the worst possible enemy of the People sitting in the White House.
Holder and Obama have perpetrated acts of war on Mexico , which have resulted in the genocide deaths of 300+ Mexican citizens, and two US BATF agents, and maybe more.As such they both are war criminals who deserve arrest, trial and execution.
Thats the ugly truth in total.
I'm sure that Sinaloa cartel was generous with political figures in order to get the special treatment it got.

The Broo View: Bengals training camp cometh
CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati's other famous red head showed up Thursday, and that means six more months of football.
Yes, the Cincinnati Bengals are officially open for business this season, with the team convening for training camp. First workout of the season is at 3 p.m., although there was a short walk through Thursday morning.
We were in the Bengals locker room to get player interviews early Thursday. I had a long talk with Adam Jones, who told me he has nowhere near the amount of miles on his body that another player his age has. Jones is 30, but, as he told me, "I didn't play for three seasons". He of course, missed a lot of that time serving various league suspensions.
Leon Hall will answer the bell for the start of camp. He's coming off his second season-ending Achilles tear. It's believed that Hall is the only player in NFL history who will attempt to play after two separate Achilles tendon tears. Hall says his comeback this time was a bit easier, because a number of his teammates were working out with him this offseason, in particular, defensive lineman Geno Atkins. Atkins, by the way, won't be ready for the start of drills but will eventually join the team this camp.
The best interview of the day belonged to linebacker Vinny Rey, a player who seized the moment two years ago when Rey Maualuga went down hurt. Rey stepped up and made several big defensive plays that led to Bengals wins. Rey told me he believes this team will succeed in January, where past Bengals teams have failed come playoff time.
"I play each snap as it's the most important part of the day", said Maualuga.
He lives in that world which dictates: If you spend a lot of time reminiscing about yesterday, you've done nothing today.
Bengals projections for 2014 are all over the map. Many experts believe the team will win the AFC North division. But several, such as USA Today's Nate Davis, believe the Bengals will not make the postseason.
Their prospects for winning the season opener in Baltimore just got a little better, too. Ravens running back Ray Rice received a two game suspension from NFL Commissioner, Roger Goddell, in the wake of an altercation with his wife in the offseason that left her unconscious in an elevator
I'm anxious to see the team on the field. If you're there, stop by and say 'hi' to Nine On Your Side photographer Mark Slaughter and me. And make sure you follow me on Twitter: @KenBrooWCPO

Breeding dogs without the government knowing about it; at least this was a common answer that was provided when a group of high school students in a North Carolina School were asked to define the term "backyard breeding".
Judging by the answer given by our youth, the knowledge of what an actual backyard breeder is, what their effect on the community has, and how the government is involved, (or not for that matter), shows an alarming absence of education.
Backyard breeding is a term used to describe intentional breeding of dogs for the sole purpose of making money without regard to conserving the integrity of the breed. The term is a brand for those believed to have irresponsible practices in breeding. Shayne Davis, owner and show woman of five American Pit Bull Terriers describes backyard breeders as those "who don't get their dogs health tested and are not concerned with bettering the breed standard". Davis believes in the importance of a healthy dog, as well as careful screening of buyers, and following through with owners to ensure that they are properly caring for their puppies. Backyard breeders do not typically have a relationship with a veterinarian, often resulting in the spread of disease through litters and do not concern themselves with personality, (aggressive vs. non-aggressive).
Backyard breeders, (unlike responsible breeders) are the reason that our communities face such high rates of overpopulation; especially when it comes to Pit Bulls. Since backyard breeders are not concerned with where the puppies ultimately end up, the fate of the litter has a much different outcome than that of a standard breeder. The more backyard breeders produce litters, the more puppies/dogs that are euthanized at shelters, end up in dog fights, end up neglected and/or abused, and the more that end up becoming statistics as opposed to family companions.
Regulations on breeding establishments, (backyard or otherwise) are lenient at best. Currently, nation-wide regulations are not in place, rather county to county, and in some instances, state to state regulations on the number of litters a breeder can produce per year. Since selling puppies is considered income, it is also required that breeders claim their income on their annual tax reports. Backyard breeders do not typically follow these requirements.
There is a stark difference between an educated, responsible, Pit Bull enthusiast, and a backyard breeder; that difference is not always widely understood. Backyard breeders have a very negative effect on their surrounding communities not only by adding to the overpopulation problem, yet also in stroking the stereotype of Pit Bull owners as irresponsible individuals.

The eye-catching cover of the Atomic Ranch Summer 2013 Issue offers an inviting backyard view of a home custom-built in 1960 in a wooded area of Wallingford Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia. Following this exciting feature, Docomomo US sat down with Bobbie Ann Tilkens-Fisher, current owner of the home and founding board member of the Docomomo US/Greater Philadelphia Chapter – two important adventures and contributions that she has shared with her husband, Matthew Fisher. Having purchased the home from the original owners in 2010, Bobbie shares with us insight about modern activity in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania winters, and their close interaction with architect Irwin Stein as they maintain and enjoy the property for years to come.

New Orleans, Louisiana. Another mid-century modern building may be demolished in the Crescent City. Edward Durell Stone's World Trade Center, built as the International Trade Mart, has been under threat since the mid-1990s. Begun in 1959 and partially occupied by 1966, the ITM set the standard for other such structures worldwide. Designed to promote foreign commerce through the Port of New Orleans, the ITM was home to the trade organization, the Dock Board, stevedores, international consulates, shipping companies, a women's clinic, modistes and an art gallery.
Tampa, October 25- 26, 2013
East-West Dialogues: Modern Architectures in Florida is a two-part symposium designed as forum to investigate the multiple forms and meanings of mid-century architecture across the State of Florida. The symposium was organized to solicit critical reflections on modern Florida through the lens of the architects who defined it, and to further survey the discourse among them. These architects, and the diversity of their work, have received varying attention as individuals, but little recognition as a group. This symposium is particularly inspired by the architectural legacy of Mark Hampton, a critically acclaimed Florida architect with work spanning the state from Tampa to Miami.
After years of hopeful deliberation, a Southern California chapter of Docomomo US is finally taking off. A small organizational committee worked together to establish the mission and geographic scope of this chapter, which will cover the entire Southern California region: from Santa Barbara to San Diego and everything in between. Working with local preservation organizations throughout the vast region, Docomomo US/SoCal hopes to assist with advocacy efforts and increase awareness of Modern resources and regional movements.

Designed by the Russian avant-garde architect Konstantin Melnikov and completed in 1929, the well-known and highly praised Melnikov House currently finds itself in imminent danger. Natalia Melikova, a recent MFA graduate student of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, writes from Moscow about the threats to the house in her ongoing project on Russian avant-garde architecture.
Written by the Georgia Tech and UPenn studios - See end for details
Through a series of fortunate circumstances a unique collaboration has developed between the University of Pennsylvania's Historic Preservation Graduate Program and Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Architecture around the future of the Philadelphia Police Headquarters affectionately and not so affectionately known as the "Roundhouse". Designed in 1962 by Geddes, Brecher, Qualls and Cunningham with structural engineer August Komendant, a cross-discipline collaboration has united the UPenn historic preservation graduate studio with a 3rd and 4th year architecture design studio in an effort to contribute to the conversation in Philadelphia about the future of this important building.

In the spring of 2012, the Greater Philadelphia Chapter was invited to participate as a consulting party in the federal review (Section 106) process of a proposed lobby addition on the Casa Farnese in Philadelphia. Originally known as Casa Enrico Fermi (renamed in 2004 in memory of its developer, Philadelphia attorney Andrew N. Farnese), was designed and built in 1964-1966 by the architectural firm of Stonorov and Haws. The building is 19-story, reinforced-concrete, senior citizen housing apartment building set at the western edge of the Washington Square West neighborhood of downtown Philadelphia. Casa Fermi was the first senior housing development to be created in Philadelphia under the Section 202 housing program of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and thus corresponds to the enduring "group housing" practice of important Philadelphia modernist Oskar Stonorov (1905-1970) into the last phase of his career.
Join Docomomo US and OHNY on Saturday, February 9th Saturday, March 9th (rescheduled due to snow storm) for the 2nd Annual Modern Architecture & Design Scavenger Hunt. Spend the day exploring the city and taking photographs of the best examples of modern architecture and design in New York for a chance to win great prizes!
Hunt alone or as a team and learn about modernism in New York - the buildings and public spaces as well as the architects who designed them. The hunt begins with an opening event at Room & Board in SoHo at 11:00am and concludes back in SoHo with a special closing reception at the Trespa Design Centre New York, where hunters can enjoy a drink and commiserate about their experiences.

Park Burger is everything that I want from a small local restaurant. It is placed on an otherwise inconspicuous corner hidden in a mostly residential area on S. Pearl St. Its basic design is that of a simple 1960's dinner. It almost looks like a classic malt shop. There is a long counter to sit at, as well as a good number of tables. The place settings consist of pleasingly plain glasses, plates, and silverware, with white dishtowels used as the napkins.
Unlike some other retro style places I have been too, this one is not tacky. It does not bombard you with horrible mixtures of orange chairs and yellow counter tops like what you might expect to find at a truck stop in Wyoming somewhere. Everything is clean, bright, and attractive. It is a perfect mixture of modern, classy, and old fashioned. In a word, it's just really hip. When I walked in and sat down at the counter, I instantly had a good feeling.
"How's the food", you ask? It fantastic. The menu is straightforward, consisting mostly of burgers and fries. I love this place because the food has the same perfect balance as the décor. They take the same kind of food you might find at a bowling alley and they make it excellent. They take choice ingredients and prepare them expertly.
For $6 you get the full size burger (1/3 lb.) with all the usual fixings. This alone is great, but you can add avocado, bacon, mushrooms, jalapenos, and more, if you like. They use all natural beef from Colorado's own Harris Ranch, and it is never frozen. I had mine rare, and it tasted great. You can also get a turkey, buffalo, or housemade veggie burger instead.
Besides the main attraction, they also have a couple of salads, onion rings, and fries. You can choose from regular or sweet potato, and they are really tasty. They are thin, hand-cut, and golden.
In the drink department they have an impressive milk shake list, a selection of cocktails and wines, and a great selection of beer. My love of a good microbrew is one of the things that really draws me to this place. They have a nice variety of bottled beers ranging from well-known European choices to most hard-to-find local brews (like Del Norte, which I was fortunate enough to sample at Brew at the Zoo last September). In addition to that, they have several rotating drafts on tap everyday. When I was last there they had the Avery IPA (from Boulder), 2 Below (The New Belgium seasonal from Ft. Collins), and Alaskan Amber, which is always nice. As if you could possibly need more of a reason, all drafts are only $3 during happy hour, 3-6 p.m. on weekdays.
This is the perfect place to get a casual and affordable meal in a fun atmosphere, without having to settle for low-quality food. The classic items are all elevated to a level of greatness that will keep you coming back for more.

Mazda Millenia body kits are add-ons and replacements that can be installed to revise and rejuvenate a car's {exterior appearance. After years of driving, the exterior components on many automobiles begins to look worn and old. Any damage to a vehicle's paint or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a automobile's value, making the use of bodykits is just that significant. A bodykit can transform a vehicle appear prettier, without replacing any of the actual mechanics of the car.
Some stylish Mazda Millenia bodykits products include replacements for several highly affected exterior parts, bumper covers and side add ons. These are the areas of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these alone aren't the only parts that could be easily replaced. Other custom body paneling can be used to customize a car's look, so Mazda Millenia bodykits can often be customized to a car owner's specific needs.

Iowa Football Practice Photos (Saturday, Dec. 11) | Video interview with R. Reiff
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Forget the weather difference, although it is nearly 80 degrees in Tempe, Ariz., while there are blizzard warnings in the Midwest. Forget the difference in accommodations, although the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa in Phoenix is quite an upgrade from a dorm room in Iowa City.
You can throw those luxuries out a window; the University of Iowa football team is on a mission. That mission is to bring the Insight Bowl trophy to the Hayden Fry Football Complex.
"We're going down there to win a football game," UI sophomore offensive tackle Riley Reiff said. "We're not worried about the temperature, the nice hotels and that stuff. We're going down there to win a football game."
During the first few pre-bowl practices, the Hawkeyes are focusing on basic details which have helped make Iowa one of the elite programs in the nation.
"It's back to technique: Iowa versus Iowa for a few days," Reiff said. "We're getting after it, trying to improve and getting ready for the bowl game."
Reiff anchors an offensive line that helped the Hawkeyes average 379.4 yards and 29.1 points per game during the regular season. Despite injuries and defections in the backfield, Iowa still averaged nearly 40 more rushing yards per game than its opponents. Three Hawkeyes gained more than 57 yards per game, led by Adam Robinson, who picked up 941 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"We're working on our footwork, hand placement in pass sets, pad level, all kinds of stuff," said Reiff, a second team all-Big Ten honoree by both the coaches and media. "You want to keep refining your technique."
Iowa has been back in the Bubble for three practices and Reiff said the team is improving every day.
"We're trying to get some tempo going and get everyone going," he said.
The Insight Bowl gives the Hawkeyes (7-5) an opportunity to win a bowl game in three consecutive seasons for the first time in school history. Iowa had seven wins through its first nine games.
"The way I look at it, we've got one more game and we're going to be ready to play," Reiff said. "We're going to come out ready to go."
The opponent is Missouri (10-2), which shared the best record in the Big 12 Conference North Division with Nebraska. The Tigers defeated league champion Oklahoma, 36-27, on Oct. 23.
There will be a brief break in Iowa's bowl preparation Saturday afternoon as the team gathers for its annual awards banquet.
"Everybody dresses up nice, that's about it," Reiff said with a smile.
The Insight Bowl is Tuesday, Dec. 28, in Tempe, Ariz., with a 9 p.m. start (CT). The game will be played in Sun Devil Stadium (56,000) on the Arizona State campus and televised nationally by ESPN (HD). Iowa has a 13-10-1 record in bowl games.

"Oscar Wilde said, 'The Irish have an abiding sense of tragedy which sustains them through temporary periods of joy.' And at the center of Chapatti, our new play by Galway playwright Christian O'Reilly, is the deep and aching sense of yearning; yearning for completion, of belonging, of the need to be wanted," explains Artistic Director BJ Jones of Northlight Theatre's new production which runs through April 13 on 9501 Skokie Boulevard in Skokie. "Anchoring this lovely poem of a play are longtime colleagues John Mahoney and Penny Slusher. Christian's play is unusual in structure yet accessible in theme, a rueful chortle of a piece with a wink of a tearful eye."
"This co-production between Northlight Theatre and Galway Arts Festival is the result of three successful Northlight transfer productions in the past five years to Ireland's most prestigious festival," adds Tim Evans, Northlight's Executive Director. "Created by Irish and American artists, Chapatti initiates a new producing partnership allowing us both to present this unique play and potentially others in Chicago, Galway and beyond." Tickets are available by calling 847-673-6300 or visiting www.northlight.org.
MB Financial Park at Rosemont's restaurants are offering St. Patrick's Day specials on Monday, March 17, including green Mexican beer at Adobe Gila's Margarita Fajita Cantina; Guinness chocolate cheesecake at Muvico's Bogart's Bar and Grill; Jameson shots at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill; party favors, a live DJ plus free bowling and billiards after 9 p.m. at Kings Lanes, Lounge & Sports; and more at Five Roses Pub and Park Tavern. For details, visit www.Rosemont.com.
The award-winning musical Irish duo Switchback performs tonight at 7:30 p.m. at The Center for Visual and Performing Arts on 1040 Ridge Road in Munster, Indiana. The special St. Patrick's show is paired with a traditional Irish dinner (including cream of broccoli soup, red potatoes, Irish soda bread and Irish whiskey cake) before the performance.

Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in collaboration with the Jembrana government re-organized the Jembrana Arts Festival on March 15, 2014 in the town of Negara, Jembrana County. Geographically, the position of Jembrana is very strategic because it directly has the border with the province of East Java, becoming the second largest supplier of domestic travelers amounting to 42,495,677 trips as per the data of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2012 after West Java contributing to 45,019,960 trips.
Implementing the festival and the like is one of the ways to attract more travelers to visit the area. The art festival has multiple benefits in addition to becoming a medium of cultural preservation because it includes three basic components, namely the protection, development or adaptation and utilization. Utilization for the benefit of tourism does not go up against the conservation. Jegog as the art of bamboo music has become the icon of Jembrana County that should be preserved and promoted. Therefore, this native music to Jembrana gets the benefits that can improve the welfare of the artists in particular. The Jembrana Arts Festival will feature 1,600 Jegog players from 80 art troupes existing in Jembrana ranging from children, junior high school students, teenagers, adults and the elderly as well as from the novice group to professional group.
Aside from the parade of Jegog, the festival will also be filled with Jegog Jembrana in collaboration with the other arts such as comedy, song, dance and others. The Jembrana Arts Festival is expected to encourage public interest (travelers) both domestic and foreign travelers to visit Bali. Jembrana also has Makepung or Buffalo Race tradition, ecotourism and Bali Starling (rare bird) as well as favorite diving site. Armed with such treasures of tourism potentials, Jembrana is very interesting and worth visiting. (BTN/adv)
