News articles
The free market is increasingly expected to solve a whole host of social and economic problems. No where is this more apparent than in the urban environment. In these more densely populated areas there is both promise and frustration. The presence of people stimulates commerce of all types while the many residents also make demands on the city infrastructure and the local economy. Too often, as the housing stock ages, the neighborhoods decline. Politicians turn to enterprise zones and tax incentive financing to create jobs and stimulate renewal. Administrators struggle to maintain city services as the tax base erodes.
The powerful forces of real estate economics cause massive migration as former slums are gentrified with new construction and renovation that prices housing out of the reach of the displaced former residents. Companies desert decrepit buildings and plants to build anew in the suburbs where they hope to attract a better caliber of worker and avoid the higher taxes and crime of the urban core. They often leave behind infrastructure that must be replaced in their new location. Gone too is access to dependable public transportation and their workers are doomed to an automobile centered world.
Paradoxically, BCCI believes that the very way that cities raise revenue can lead to the solution of many of their intractable problems. The fiscal reform they advocate also unshackles the free market from the monopoly in land and resources so it can more readily realize the expectations we have for it. The simple measure that harnesses these natural forces to work for the community is to limit city revenue to a fee for the exclusive use of land, i.e. a levy based solely on site values. This will tend to lower the cost of land but at the same time it will discourage under utilization of land and prevent desirable land from being held idle in outright speculation. On the other hand, productive enterprise will be unburdened of many taxes and fees by this tax shift - levies that presently are disincentives to activities that are so essential to the health of the city.

Going back-to-school can be a very exciting, but expensive time of year for parents .
In fact, the National Retail Federation reports families with school-age children are expected to spend an average of $563 on back-to-school merchandise. That's up almost seven-percent from last year's average.
School Days Landslide, sponsored by WBKO, Christian Family Radio and U.S. Bank, is one of many efforts underway to put school supplies in the hands of needy families.
Jennifer Shoemake, Family Resource Coordinator at T.C. Cherry Elementary, sees it all too often.
"A lot of children probably wouldn't have a way to get it. Teachers might have to use their own money to purchase the items," Shoemake said.
Shoemake's job is to make sure children have the necessities, like pencils, paper and backpacks, that it takes to make it through the school year.
Back to school necessities Eurodger Barglor says he simply can't afford. Barglor has five children and he's unemployed.
"If they are able to come to our aide, we will highly appreciate it," Barglor said.
Barglor isn't alone, and struggling parents can contact the family resource coordinator at their child's school for assistance.
"We're very confidential about it. We don't use names, we're just making sure kids get the supplies," Shoemake said.
She said parents can either pick-up the donated items or school coordinators can discreetly hand them to the needy child.
"It's such a big help to have programs where people collect these back to school items," Shoemake added.
And of course, the more items donated, the more children like Barglor's family are helped.
"I will do a follow-up with the school to get supplies," Barglor said.
"We're grateful that there are programs like Landslide and Stuff the Bus, so it's a great help to collect products like that." Shoemake said.
If you'd like to donate back-to-school supplies, it's not too late.
WBKO, Christian Family Radio and U.S. Bank are collecting school supplies for the School Days Landslide through Aug. 6.

Eight-time major winner and Champions Tour regular Tom Watson will play in the Australian Open in December for the first time in nearly 30 years.
Tournament officials said yesterday that Watson, who won the Australian Open in 1984, will join Australians Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy and defending champion Greg Chalmers at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney from December 6 to 9.
Watson's win at Royal Melbourne in 1984 came a year after the American won the last of his eight majors, the 1983 British Open at Royal Birkdale, his fifth Open championship.

Russian Communists strike Again: ElectroStalin
Cold war has not ended!
American capitalists have won the battle, but they din't win the war. The ghost of communism is still walking on streets of Russia. More and more people there are joining communist party. Pro-american government in Russia has lost it's power and communists are planning to strike again.
In my previous post "Lenin is a power generator" it was written about USSR founder and necrophile Vladimir Ilyich Lenin who is going to ressurect soon.
This time I want to alert American government about a new thread: ElectroStalin.
Iosiph Vissarionovich Stalin was the Premier of the Soviet Union, Chief of Russian nation and bloodthirsty sadist.
He is the most bloody, perverted and sick-minded chief in the history of Russia. Stalin is also known for his success in World War 2. During his years in government, Stalin commited lots of sadistic acts. His most favourite punishment method was "Shashlik", when sharp blade is put into anal hole of a victim.
Stalin like all Russian leaders was also balsamed in vodka and put into mausoleum in Stalin city. This means that there is a chance of ressurecting him using electricity. If Russians will manage to ressurect both communist leaders, the world won't be the same anymore. Communism will engulf all countries, including God's country America. We will live like hobos and will pray to communist party till death.
If you plug a Stalin to a battery,
If you plug a Stalin to socket,
Stalin will be brisky, stalin will be peppy
Iosif will sing and dance!
ElectroStalin, ElectroStalin
C'mon get up all and go to dance!
Totalitarism, totalitarism
Let's dance together ElectroStalin dance!
It is our duty to do something about it and prevent communism and atheism spreading.

- Fascinated

Fashion-inspired art can be seen at different venues this weekend starting now and with an opening Friday night.
Repurposing and reappropriating are words used by some to describe making art from scrap materials. (My daughter calls it scrap art and practices it regularly in London teaching children how to make the most of leftovers.)
Del Ray Artisans calls their show "Reincarnations."
"Reincarnations: featuring Artycyclopedia show
Waste not, want not! Trash to treasure! Carbon footprint to artist imprint! This is what the Reincarnations show is all about! Curator Theresa Kulstad asked artists to find form and design in objects and materials that would have been otherwise thrown away, and let us all watch as waste is "reincarnated" into incredible works. The artists may dare to delve into a dumpster and re-think rubbish! Their artworks are not limited to conventional views and may make a statement on vast amounts of waste on our planet."
For Arlington artist, Kathy Turner, this is not a new thing because a part of her regular artwork is repurposed and reclaimed stuff. In the Del Ray exhibit, hers is fashion-inspired.
Project Runway tried it last year with duct tape. Kathy is using old encyclopedias.
She described, "The purse, handbag and head sculpture were also made from the same encyclopedia volume. I also covered the manikin underneath with pages from the book."
There are some great fashion inspirations at the Falls Church Artspace showing now. They include art from Theresa Stifel, a former seamstress and retailer who is in the business of making the most from vintage items. Also, there are several pieces called "Chorus Line" by artist Jacqlyn Sickler. Sickler's sculptures are amusingly arrayed with Theresa Stifel's fashionable figures.
There are at least three opportunities to see fashion-inspired art right now.

The Navy jet crash site was finally reached and the fighter jet is a "total loss" with the pilot's condition still unknown today. The crash site was hard to get to as a snow storm was blanketing the mountainous terrain where the jet went down, according to CNN News on March 3.
Crews took several hours to reach the site due to the conditions. The jet that went down about 30 miles from the Navy training center was a U.S. Marine jet on loan to the U.S. Navy Strike and Air Center.
Apparently the Navy reported that the jet was one of their Hornets, which is incorrect. According to RJC.com, the Navy is withholding the pilot's name for the next 24 hours, but it is not known if he was found or what condition he was in if he was found. There were no guns or ammunition on board as this was just a training flight, reports the Navy.
There was no other injuries reported with this crash and there were no reported damages on the ground, since the jet went down in a rural area away from homes and businesses.
Update March 3: The pilot of the crashed Navy jet was found dead at the Nevada crash site, according to Navy officials. The pilot was alone on the jet at the time it crashed. The name was not released pending notification of family. The crash happened about noon on Saturday and it took rescue personal several hours to reach the site due to a massive snow storm in the area. The pilot's remains were found Sunday.

Secrets of Success
Small Changes
Thursday, June 09, 2011
My lifestyle change here as a sparkman has been marked by small changes. They may even seem insignificant at first glance. I started with 10 pushups and crunches and have been adding 1 each day. I've been counting my calories. I've been taking the time to exercise a few times a week and do at least 10 minutes each day.
The kicker is not how much is being done, but how often. I'm not going all out and exercising 3 hours in one shot or running a marathon. Just 10-30 minutes a day. No hour long weight lifting sessions. Just 10 pushups and crunches and adding 1 each day. No starvation sessions or fasting for a week. Just keeping track of my calories each day.
Where is the power in these small changes?
1: They are SMALL changes. Being small keeps them easy to do. Very easy.
2: I am doing these things every day. Day in, day out, feel like it or not, I still do it. More on both below...
SMALL changes...
See, the changes that work should be small and manageable. You could try to run a marathon to get fit, but if you haven't exercised in month and are 100 pounds overweight, well, you may not get far, and will end up more discouraged after you are done than you were. The thing about small changes... they seem insignificant. If you eat scrambled eggs with melted cheese with home fries and bacon, will you have a heart attack right there in the restaurant? Of course not.
And if you eat a salad, will you be instantly healthier? No, not noticeably so. The right choices to make, the ones that will change our lives, are easy to do. They are also easy not to do, and the changes are not readily apparent. That is why most people don't do them.
DAILY Changes...
Day in, day out, whether the weather is sunny or rainy, whether I feel like it or not, I must do these things. Consistency is key and is the power behind doing these easy things. 10 pushups + a few? Big deal! 8 glasses of water? So what! Now 100 pushups, that is something! 50 glasses of water, what an achievement! Well... in one week, those small things done each day add up. In my first week I've done 91 pushups. And this week I'm aiming at over 60 glasses of water.
Still not convinced of the power of small changes? If I were to offer you a million dollars in cash, or one penny, doubled each day for 30 days, which would you take? 1 penny isn't much. Day 1: 1 cent. Day 2: 2 cents... Day 4: 8 cents... whoo!
After a week, 64 cents is yours! Week 2: $81.92... A far cry from a cool million.
And on day 25, you'd only have $167,772.16 That's less than 20% of a million. But on day 28, you end up passing the million dollar mark at $1,342,177.28 On day 31, you'd have made 10 times more than the other choice, with $10,737418.24!!!
Small changes, done consistently over a period of time are not so small after all. So eat that salad for lunch each day. Track those calories. Go for a walk every morning. The pounds will come off. It is easier to not do them... but it is not worth it in the long run. These things ARE easy to do. Done every day, they will change your life. I am changing my life with these small changes. I hope that you will do the same!!
- This blog was my first and is my own material, however I must give credit to motivational speaker Jeff Olson, author of 'The Slight Edge'. That book has been my inspiration as I have made these small changes, and without reading that book, I would not have been able to write this.

I needed this today because I was feeling poorly because I only had time to get in a 2 mile walk versus my 4 mile walk but like you said I made the effort even for a short time and kept up my streak of walking 115 days in a row! I need to be proud of my consistency! Thank you! You have sparked me to continue my journey even if right now I must slow down.

I couldn't agree with you more! I have done many of the "fast" ways to lose weight and get healthy. Liquid diets, starvation diets, even that ephedrine crap (embarrassing) and you know what? Losing weight fast usually means gaining it back fast. Since I've come back to SP I've lost 9 lbs. in almost 6 weeks and I couldn't be happier. This time I feel like i can really do this, I can live with these small changes.

Milt Jackson: Lover
Milt Jackson (vibes)
The Jazz Skyline (Savoy Jazz 78997)
Milt Jackson (vibes), Lucky Thompson (tenor sax), Hank Jones (piano), Wendell Marshall (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums).
Composed by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart..
Recorded: Hackensack, N.J., January 23, 1956
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
After alternating the melody between 3/4 and 4/4, this pickup group settles into a frisky gambol better befitting both song and musicians than the breakneck tempo jazzmen by consensus had decided made an ideal "Lover." During the 1950s it was the critics' cliché that Milt Jackson, temporarily loosed from the John Lewis-imposed rococo restraints of the MJQ, swung as hard as anyone in jazz. Here, bouncing his felt- tipped mallets off gold-plated aluminum bars with the effortless grace of a Chinese ping-pong champion dispatching opponents in the Grand Slam, Jackson shows that (in the words of our all-time favorite fortune cookie) Truth Sometimes Resides Even In Cliché.

Recap| Box Score| Photo Gallery
Stanford Head Coach Mike Montgomery
Opening Statement:
This was a nice confidence builder. A lot of guys got playing time, we really had an aggressive defense, and that was pleasing. Casey [Jacobsen] played really well, he passed the ball well and got other people the ball. That is very critical for us. Washington State is reeling right now though and playing up there will be tough. 24 assists and 10 turnovers is great for us. It means we're sharing the ball. We didn't stretch guys with minutes and that should play dividends down the road. Now we have to bounce back on Saturday and be aggressive against Washington.
On the 24 assists:
We were on the break a lot. It's harder to share on set plays. Knowing that when a man steps up on you means that someone else is open was key. We got some long rebounds, some turnovers, and that allows you to break more.
Washington State Head Coach Paul Graham
On Stanford this year compared to last year:
I think they were more wary of Jerry McNair this year. They made us hurry and play quicker than we wanted to. We tried to score 15 points in two minutes and that just isn't going to happen.
On transition play:
They hurt us on transition. We shot too quickly and then the defensive balance is out of whack.

BERLIN -- It was supposed
to be a vacation, but somehow when I got to Berlin to see my friend
Tomi Paasonen's newest work, I learned I also had the chance to
see Sasha Waltz's latest piece. I had seen Waltz's "Zweiland/Zweiland"
in 1999 and "Allee
der Kosmonauten" in 2001, both presented by Cal Performances
at Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall, but hadn't written anything about
either. I immediately e-mailed PBI to see if he could use a review.
"Insideout" had just
premiered the week before at Waltz's home base the Schaubuehne am
Lehniner Platz when I saw it on October 17. It is an impressive
extravaganza, an installation rather than a proscenium stage performance,
in which the audience wanders among the dancers while climbing up
and down and strolling in and out a jungle gym of rooms/performance
spaces designed by Thomas Schenk; some are part of a large central
construction, others free standing "buildings"; some are completely
accessible to the spectators, others inaccessible. The central construction
is modular with walls sliding in or disappearing, curtains drawn
open or closed, plexiglass display cases filled with dancers or
emptied through doors on the back. Off to the side there is a separate
small room with a clear front wall and a grass roof with sand on
the floor. Another free-standing space is an aluminum refrigerated
compartment with plastic strips hanging across the door.
The costumes by Bernd
Skodzig run the gamut from g-string, to scanty underwear, to bathing
suits, to loose pajama tops and pants, to street clothes, to grunge
garb, to evening dress, to uniforms, and finally the poster image,
a highly stylized suit, pants and platform shoes with stiletto heels
all joined into one seamless piece, topped off by a hat plus head
covering, all of an overblown black and white hounds-tooth check.
I am certainly awed
by the level of coordination between the wardrobe and tech crews
and the dancers as the logistics of maintaining a smooth-running
show here certainly seem to surpass the choreographic complexity.
(Who knows if the audience noticed, but as a former dancer and choreographer,
I am fully aware of this achievement.)
The evening begins quietly,
the audience seeping across the space, sampling the various sites
where the dancers are moving slowly and simply to musicians playing
Rebecca Saunders's very spare composition, "Solos, Duos, Trios for
Ten." The effect is like looking through a kaleidoscope turning
nearly imperceptibly. At first I assume that I will have time to
make the rounds and take in all that is going on, but then it becomes
apparent that nothing is going to be repeated and, under these circumstances,
whatever I happen to see is what I get. Slowly the pace picks up
and our inner voyeurs capitulate to the surrounding action. It is
obvious that there is no way any one observer can see everything.
Each member of the audience will have an individual experience of
the performance, as in life. At one point I feel a rush of elation,
as if I were Alice in Wonderland.
A woman fills her pantyhose
with sand from a row of bottles. As it settles around her ankles,
one word comes to my mind: elephantiasis. She lies down, raises
her legs, pulls at the knit nylon, and like sands flowing in an
hourglass, the response to gravity endows her thighs and hips with
a gritty voluptuousness. Eventually she walks through several rooms
with now sand bloated feet and is lifted by a wall of hands poking
through small doors. The disembodied hands begin pulling at the
pantyhose, successfully ripping holes through which the sand pours
The rhythm and timbre
of the show grow more intense, verging on chaotic. Dancers chase
each other through the crowd shouting into megaphones; an edge of
violence begins widening until the atmosphere shatters. Some of
the performers convince most of the audience to sit down in front
of several plexiglass display boxes where other dancers put on a
little show. At this point all pretense of freedom for the spectators
to see the performance through their own choices evaporates. They
can be manipulated as easily as a TV-addicted kids.
Unfortunately, "Insideout"
never regains its driving pace, and it drifts on far too long before
it's over. I am feeling disappointed that there is only the illusion
of interaction between the performers and audience; there is no
real participation by the spectators. What does it all mean? Yes,
it is entertaining and many vignettes are intriguing, but what is
the point of it all? A metaphor for life? If so, why go to all the
trouble of such an elaborate performance?
Almost at the other end of the stylistic spectrum, and clear across
town in the former East Berlin at Dock 11, I had seen a premiere
from Tomi Paasonen, the former LINES dancer, the night before. I
have watched Paasonen's development since 1998 when, after dancing
with Alonzo King's company, he founded Kunst-Stoff with Yannis Adoniou
in San Francisco. While he used to be far more theatrically "over
the top," he has begun exploring more internal and intimate themes
concerning memory, repetition/difference, self and identity, and
he has stripped down both his aesthetics and choreography without
any loss of impact. The emphasis is simply put on other elements
or aspects of the work and the result is a crystalline brilliance.
Paasonen is the only
choreographer I have ever seen who uses video projection as an integral
element of what he is trying to communicate. I can't begin to count
the number of times that video is really just a part of the visual
design, or a means of allowing the audience to see facial expressions
in great detail. With Paasonen the video is another performer on
stage, evoking responses from other performers, or from the same
performer who is being video-taped, either at the very moment the
action is taking place or at a later instant when the video is shown.
In fact, the cast for the three pieces on the program is two dancers,
one cameraman, and one projectionist. Paasonen himself is responsible
for the concept, direction, choreography, costumes and video direction.
Lights and sound are by Markus Schulte and Mike Kokoska, while a
special installation by Carle Lange and Ulf Knudsen is discussed
As the audience finds
seats, the performers have already begun with an introductory section.
Fernando Pelliccioli stands on one leg in the middle of the floor.
Carlos Osatinsky walks very deliberately around the perimeter of
the space. A perky Japanese woman, Yuko Matsuyama, playing off the
stereotype of the smiling, obsequious Oriental, periodically rushes
to the front to announce how happy she is to be here. She disappears
and the first piece, "RE: Repetition and differencE" starts.
Osatinsky dances a movement
phrase to some German oompapa music, an almost militaristic waltz,
as Pelliccioli aims a spot light at him. When he finishes, Pelliccioli
puts down the lamp, runs forward and gives a video tape to Paasonen,
who inserts it in a video camera. Osatinsky begins the same phrase
to the same music again. Halfway through Paasonen projects the video
of the version he just danced before. Sometimes the steps match
up perfectly, at other times there are distinct variations between
them. Matsuyama comes out in the first of a series of elaborate
costumes and delivers a speech in German while Pelliccioli grovels
at her feet, wiping the floor. My companion explained that it really
didn't matter that I hadn't understood precisely the meaning of
what she said because it was mostly a string of plays on words,
which I had understood. Then the whole process of solo dance being
video-taped followed by a speech is repeated three more times. In
the final version, somewhat like the effect you see when you sit
in the middle of a room with mirrors on the opposing walls, you
see four video dancers, one above the other, on the wall behind
Osatinsky. Each version is different, some only slightly and others
drastically, as the dancer has both tried to repeat and deliberately
vary the movement phrase.
"W (double you)" was
first performed in San Francisco in October 2002. I loved it then,
and thought it was one of the very best choreographic works last
season in the Bay Area. This time around it is expanded and because
it is performed by two entirely different dancers, it almost is
like another piece. In brief, the image of one dancer is projected
onto the other dancer as they move either alone or together. There
is also a section where the dancers literally chase their own projected
images. In the end, we realize that the two dancers are struggling
to individualize themselves from each other and yet can't help seeing
how much they are alike. The way in which Paasonen brings us to
that realization is very impressive as it is done only with movement
and the superimposed projections.
The last piece, "O (lOOp),"
utilizes an ingenious instrument/lighting tool created and played
by Ulf Knudsen. He built a panel of twelve iron nails connected
to 1000W of electrical current, and by stroking it with a piece
of metal, he completes electrical circuits which control the lighting
and create part of the sound score. As Matsuyama sings and moves
and Osatinsky runs and hurls himself against the wall, I suspect
that most of us can relate to the experience of wanting to flee
from oneself. While the idea comes across clearly, the dance itself
could be tightened up considerably and shortened.
The difference between
the two choreographers' work I saw here is akin to the difference
between Henry Fielding and Emily Dickinson. Waltz, like Fielding,
takes on life with all its dimensions and layers, as if a caterer
had laid out a smorgasbord of food from every ethnic street vendor
in the world, allowing one to sample a limitless array of concoctions.
Paasonen, like Dickinson, distills facets of that same life down
to pure essence, then concentrates and purifies the liquor into
a potent elixir that frees the imagination to muse upon the meanings
that were previously elusive, but have now been brought into clearer
focus. To partake of one or the other is only a matter of personal
taste. Ultimately, I feel that with Waltz, in this particular piece,
art imitates life a bit too much. I don't experience enough of her
own individual point of view. I value Paasonen's artistic process,
because his ability to shape his work into new forms leads us along
uncharted paths. He opens up our eyes to see his unique perspective,
to hear his voice. While with some choreographers the journey is
through all too well-known territory, Paasonen allows us to explore
his country with unjaded senses.

On Saturday, Marion and I hosted our second Bar à Veloutés at the Printemps department store, during the Invasions Gourmandes event. We had served savory veloutés last Thursday, and served sweet ones this time.
Our guests could choose one of three veloutés :
– Velouté coco (a kind of coconut mousse)
– Velouté pistache (a pistachio-flavored crème brûlée)
– Velouté williams (a velvety pear compote)
They could then choose to sprinkle on :
– Raisins granités (chopped frozen grapes)
– Eclats de fruits (dried fruit flakes)
– Framboises brisées (frozen pearls of raspberry)
And finally they could dip in one of the following :
– Caramel de tournesol (sunflower seed brittle)
– Meringue gingembre (ginger meringue)
– Polochon carotte (a pillowy carrot biscuit)
I'll let you guess which is which is which on the picture above — a little game to brighten your day, how's that?
This second edition was very successful too, and we were very happy to have over 350 visitors — perfect strangers mostly, but also friends, family and C&Z readers — come by to taste our concoctions. The pairings worked well, the little tasting tumblers looked pretty and appealing, and we had more than enough of everything to please everyone. We even kept the bar open for a little longer than scheduled because we still had supplies and guests.
Being behind a tasting stand is always an fascinating experience (I don't know, free food does strange things to the human mind), this one particularly so : since the Bar à Veloutés concept had been especially created by us for this occasion and didn't fall into any obvious category, we got interesting reactions. A handful of people were somewhat dumbfounded, wondering what the use was (um, none) and what we were trying to sell (um, nothing), having the hardest time imagining something that was free and just for fun and tastebud pleasure. Thankfully, most of our visitors were surprised and intrigued, their interest tickled, wanting to taste it all. And this is exactly what we were trying to achieve, offering an original tasting experience, one that would be rich in colors, textures and flavors.
Post-scriptum about the recipes : they are creations of Marion and myself, and as much as I'm usually willing to share my own recipes (surely you've noticed!), I need to check with her first and see what our "policy" is on these…

"It was feeling like some kind of Klan rally."
That's the reaction of spectator Perry Beam to Saturday's appearance at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Mo., of a rodeo clown wearing a mask meant to look like President Obama and what happened during his performance.
Videos that Beam took show some of the scene and capture some of what the rodeo announcer and another clown were saying. The Kansas City Star has posted two of the clips on its YouTube channel.
In one, the announcer says, "Obama's gonna have to just stay there … Obama watch out for those bulls." Another voice can then be heard saying "I know I'm a clown, he just run [sic] around acting like one [and] doesn't know he is one."
In the other clip, a clown can be heard saying, "we're gonna smoke Obama … Obama they're coming for you this time. Don't you move, he's gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha!"
According to a post Beam later wrote on Facebook, one of the clowns also "ran up and started bobbling the lips on the mask and the people went crazy." And he says that:
"The announcer wanted to know if anyone would like to see Obama run down by a bull. The crowd went wild. He asked it again and again, louder each time, whipping the audience into a lather."
Condemnations and apologies have followed.
The State Fair posted this message on its Facebook page:
"The performance by one of the rodeo clowns at Saturday's event was inappropriate and disrespectful, and does not reflect the opinions or standards of the Missouri State Fair. We strive to be a family friendly event and regret that Saturday's rodeo badly missed that mark."
Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder was among the first state leaders to weigh in, writing on Twitter that "the @MoStateFair celebrates Missouri and our people. I condemn the actions disrespectful to POTUS the other night. We are better than this."
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill issued a statement saying that the fair "is funded by taxpayer dollars, and is supposed to be a place where we can all bring out families and celebrate the state that we love."
Beam, the spectator, tells The Associated Press that the rodeo act "was cruel. It was disturbing. I'm still sick to my stomach over it. … I've never seen anything so blatantly racist in my life. … If an old country boy picks up on something like that, imagine what a person of color would think."

The head of one of Canada's largest trucking firms warns the high-flying loonie is leading to shrinking exports to the U.S.
Contrans Group CEO Stan Dunford tells BNN there's no question the volume of products that move from Canada to the U.S. is directly tied to the dollar. "Every penny that the dollar is up, there's that much less freight, that much less product being sold in the U.S," Dunford says.
Dunford also has a muted outlook for the economy, saying he's not sure there will be a "break out" over the next few years.
"We're not seeing any improvement in the economy of any significant amount," he says.

Ferrari hasn't fielded a turbo since it stopped building the F40 hypercar back in 1992. That changes in March when the car maker premières its mid-front-engine, retractable hard top berlinetta California T at the Geneva Motor Show. With the T standing for Turbo, the new California Grand Touring sports car has been redesigned to mark the occasion by the Ferrari Style Center and Pininfarina with aerodynamics to match the new powerplant.Read More
The world usually sees cars like the Pininfarina Sergio at a few select international auto shows during the debut year. Then the outlandishly-styled cars retire to their designers' headquarters and museums, peeping out every so often for special events and shows. Sometimes they fetch millions at auctions. But the wildly impractical, often beautiful design exercises don't usually enter production. It's looking like the Sergio will be an exception to the rules. Read More
In the world of automotive design, Pininfarina stands as one of the most influential and iconic names in the business. So what happens when you put designers from this legendary firm in the same room as their counterparts over at Bayrische Motoren Werke?

Italian design house Pininfarina is traveling across Europe to London to exhibit some of its iconic designs and concepts. Pininfarina is best known for car designs that have found their way to automakers like Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, but the exhibition will focus on designs from Pininfarina Extra, the arm of the firm that handles everything from product design and packaging to nautical design and special transport. Most of the designs will be from years past, but Pininfarina will also unveil the new Personal Rapid Transit concept - an urban public transit design based on a series of tracked personal transport pods.

Ferrari has always set high standards for its customer interaction, and the latest press bulletin indicates it is continuing to explore new means of communicating with its customers, this time in the digital realm.

Developed from the Ferrari 458 Italia, Eric Clapton's unique Ferrari SP12 EC was designed by the Centro Stile Ferrari in collaboration with Pininfarina and Ferrari's engineers.Read More

Ferrari F40 fans might wish to put the date July 22 in the calendar now, maybe even if you live somewhere a long way from Silverstone. The annual three-day Silverstone Classic is claimed to be the world's biggest classic motor racing festival. Held at the Silverstone F1 circuit in mid-July, the central focus of the massive festival is the historic racing which features the cream of motor racing drivers and cars from every era of motor sport. Whenever there's a significant automotive anniversary, such as the 50th anniversary of the E-type Jaguar, there's also a mass gathering of vehicles. This year the festival is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Ferrari F40 - already more than 50 of the original 1315 F40s produced have RSVP'd for the event, guaranteeing a world record.Read More
Shelby Super Cars has finally pulled the wraps off the car it has had under development for several years which is aiming for 280 mph. The aluminum and carbon fiber SSC Tuatara was styled by talented American designer Jason Castriota, and will run a mid-rear mounted, seven-litre, twin-turbo, Quad camshaft V8 producing 1,350 bhp. Shelby previously held the title of the world's fastest production car with the 1183 bhp, twin-turbo V8 Ultimate Aero TT which ran 412.68 km/h (256.18 mph). It bested the previous fastest, the original 1001 bhp Bugatti Veyron's 408 km/h (254 mph) but lost the title back to the French marque last year when a 1200 bhp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport ran 431 km/h (268 mph).

Formerly known as "Zahara de los Membrillos", this village owes its renown to its importance as a fruit producing centre (membrillo means quince). Strategically located on a hilltop, it also played an important role in the Nasrid network of defences. Below it extends a green valley in which lies the artificial Lake Zahara (fine view from the top of the 12C castle).

Cynthia Bailey has always been a popular cast member of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," but it appears he husband wants in on the action. For the past few weeks, Peter Thomas has interjected in about every conflict there is on the show and created a few to boot. According to S2S magazine on Thursday, the star has a reason to stir the pot as he wants to draw an interest in his own career for a reality show.
While the reality series is in the production stages, it appears that the camera work has already started and "RHOA" cast members Gregg Leakes and Todd Tucker are part of the action. Showcasing the life of Atlanta from the male perspective, the fans could see life as a bar owner in the South and share a few minutes that fans wouldn't see watching Cynthia.
There is no guaranteed that Bravo would pick up the series (and the network hasn't yet,) but fans might be interested in seeing something like this in the future. The problem with this series (as well as new ideas) is that the reality market is saturated already and people who want a show have to share something new and original. That doesn't mean Peter Thomas doesn't have something to offer, but everyone wonders if it is enough to hold an audience on TV.
No doubt there will be more drama on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" in the near future as Peter Thomas needs to make a name for himself and the only way to do that is get in front of the camera.

Real Estate News: Help for Underwater Homes
Here is a look at real-estate news in Wednesday's WSJ:
Help for Underwater Homes: More homeowners are turning to so-called short sales—where they sell their homes for less than what they owe in mortgage debt and the bank typically eats the difference.
Curbs Prompt Chinese to List Homes: China's latest effort to cool surging home prices is coming under criticism even as it sparks a rush among some potential home sellers.
New Project Brings Anchor to Navy Yard: Once the barren symbol of a lost age, the Brooklyn Navy Yard has been at the center of the city's efforts to revive its dying manufacturing sector. Now, the 10-year undertaking has reached a milestone.
Mortgage REITs: What They Are and Aren't: A WSJ guide to mortgage real-estate investment trusts.
Deal of the Week: Sell, Buy Senior Housing: A New York developer that sold a large senior-housing portfolio near the top of the market is part of a venture that has cut a deal to buy back the properties and build even more, a transaction that illustrates the divergent perceptions about senior housing.
In Hong Kong, A Shift from Central City to Kowloon: For years, the epicenter of the city has been Central, but increasingly, companies in this tightly packed district and surrounding area have started to spread out.
Measures Aim to Chill Hong Kong's Prices: Hong Kong is again trying to take some air out of its buoyant property market, and this time it is targeting the latest fads among eager buyers, such as hotel rooms and parking spots.
Hong Kong's Escalators Give Areas a Lift: Mass transit has long spurred real-estate development. In this mountainous city, escalators are boosting some sleepy neighborhoods.
House of the Day: This roughly 26,000-square-foot mansion takes cues from the Playboy Mansion, the owner says, and includes a ballroom fit for a car collection and an indoor pool.

This seems to be my month for dusting off dresses that have been hibernating in my closet for two years. On Saturday, I wore my gold-sequin Antik Batik dress — last worn in December 2009 — in Las Vegas. Then, on Monday, I wore the bow-covered vintage Patrick Kelly dress that I last wore out on the town with my gorgeous friends Rachel and Stacy … also in December 2009.
I wasn't sure I'd ever wear the Patrick Kelly dress again. I got it online only to discover that it's made of a puffy, spongy fabric that adds inches all over. The hundreds of tiny bows add to the bulk. When Jean of Ghost Tailor altered the dress for me in 2009, she recommended a belt to break up the bows. I hadn't worn a belt in years, so I bought one on Bluefly, wore the dress out once with the ladies, and then stuck it back in the closet for a couple of years.
I figured I was ready to give the dress another try at the annual Knight-Bagehot fundraising dinner on Monday. The Knight-Bagehot program, run by Columbia University's School of Journalism, offers qualified journalists a year-long fellowship in economics and business journalism. At last year's dinner I was quite woozy, but this year I was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, beribboned and belted. The dinner is held at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square and on my way there, I saw the Naked Cowboy, also for the first time in a couple of years. Everything old is new again — dresses and local characters!
The hotel is near all the Broadway theaters, so MrB asked me to pose like the ladies in the ad in back of me. I think the "Broadway triumphal moment" is a good variation on the standard WendyB Pose. I wound up feeling happy in the dress after all.
What Wendy Wore
Dress: '80s Patrick Kelly (acquired 2009)
Belt: Calvin Klein (2009)
Shoes: Prada (2010)
Purse: Prada (2007)
I opted for jeans instead of a dress for the Kanye West/Jay-Z show at Madison Square Garden the following night, but Kanye made up for me by wearing a leather skirt over pants.
I love it. It's such a "fuck you" to machismo. If Kanye could stick to dressing himself and making good music, I would love him, but he insists on being a jackhole. Why won't Kanye let Kanye be great? He's the only person screwing himself up. He admits he's a douchebag and I thought admitting the problem was the first step towards recovery. Can't we enroll him in Asshats Anonymous?
I didn't take an outfit photo that night, so I'll show you an old photo of the fringed Boudicca puffa jacket I wore.
I wore that jacket because my gorgeous friend Debra, who came to the concert with me, always comments on its extreme puffiness. My father is amused by the jacket too. One time he pretended to blow into my sleeve to inflate me further. I think they just envy my pufftastic, Puff Mama status. Go ahead and laugh, jellus h8rs! I flick my jacket fringe in your general direction.
Continuing an unusually busy week, I went to see my beloved Sam Waterston and his majestic eyebrows play the title role in King Lear at the Public Theater last night.
I enjoyed the three starring performances (Sam, Left Eyebrow and Right Eyebrow) and all the others immensely, as did my three companions. The less-glowing reviews are obviously written by jellus h8rs who don't have Sam's eyebrow game. His eyebrows are as desirable as my jacket puffiness. Sam and I will sit down and discuss this someday, after the restraining order is lifted and I kidnap him. (Somewhere in New York, Sam Waterston calls 911 and screams, "The eyebrow lady is writing about me again.")
I wore the vintage Wendy Originals dress I got from Cherie at Shrimpton Couture. You can see a photo of me wearing it in the magic year of 2009 here, but I've worn it frequently since then. I always wear it with the same boots and purse. I'm the opposite of a wardrobe "remixer" and proud of it. I did change things up a bit by wearing a brown suede jacket that I got in Florence in the late '90s, so I took a photo with the jacket on.
What Wendy Wore
Dress: Vintage from Shrimpton Couture (Cherie, when did I get this?)
Boots: Prada (2008 or 2009?)
Bag: Prada (Same year as the boots)
Jacket: From Florence (1998)
Necklace: My own Queen of Scots design
Most of my jewelry line is inspired by and named for real women of history but, once in a while, I do a fictional character. I can't help thinking that Lear's Goneril might make a great poison ring … but I have other ideas for her too. We'll see!
UPDATED TO ADD: At the end of King Lear, Lear is supposed to walk onto the stage carrying the corpse of his youngest daughter Cordelia. (Don't complain about spoilers, bitches! This play has been around for 400 years.) Not every Lear can manage this single-handedly but Sam did. He came out carrying actress Kristen Connolly in his arms and continued to hold her while he delivered his lines. He's 71! The magic eyebrows must give him extra strength! We were all in awe.
22 Responses to "What Wendy Wore: Patrick Kelly, Kanye West, King Lear"
Asshats Anonymous! I know a few people who should be enrolled in that. Kayne could teach what not to do. Love your style Wendy!
That animal print bag is the bomb!!!
If you do Goneril, you have to do Reagan!
I laughed out loud at the Sam Waterston shrieking about the eyebrow lady.
I love your Prada boots, Wendy. I don't suppose you are a size 9? 🙂
Hi there!! The Patrick Kelly dress looks amazing, as do your other fabulous outfits-puffatastic!! xx
How could ANYONE hate that puffer? It's absolutely stellar! And this is coming from someone who lives in the Great White Nort'.
I love all the looks here, but I just cannot take my eyes off of the leopard bag…it is a keeper!! I like the print in the Patrick Kelly dress alot.
It's hard to tell that it's not a print- that's crazy awesome if those are all tiny bows!

Studying Law gives students an understanding of the role of Law in today's society and an awareness of the rights and responsibilities of individuals, which can be applied to students' lives.
Our Law specifications develop students' analytical ability, critical thinking skills and problem-solving capabilities through the application of legal rules. Our specifications can also help students to develop skills of selection and decision making.
The A-level course builds on the knowledge and abilities acquired by those who studied the GCSE course. No previous familiarity with Law is required, however, for the A-level course.

{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}
If you would like to join us, hit that link above.
If you would like to join us, hit that link above.
Our gratefulness feeds one another.
Throughout the past few weeks I've felt grateful for:
a husband that helps me with my weird whims; from gardening to partially dreading my hair. :)
the rainy season beginning and getting the garden ready after a tragic garden experience last year. we learn new things yearly - so ideally each year is bigger and better. ideally.
my parents being here - they moved here from california in december and they are trying to get new routines established. i know it was hard to be uprooted - even with 2 little girls to love on.
being given the time to be present in my granddaughter's lives.
the weather being warm enough for mady and my dad to have a picnic on the grass. and him being so present in the girls' lives. the girls love having great mama & papa here.
jer made me a perfect worktable for my scroll saw! love! <3
What have you felt grateful for throughout your week?

Giving the naysayers the middle finger, Shane Mosley, who turns 42 in September, showed that he has something left to give the sport, as he took a 115-113 x 3 win over Pablo Cano, aged 23, in Cancun on Saturday night.
Mosley and Cano were both buzzed a few times, and it looked like Mosley would maybe get stopped in the ninth. But he held on, and surprisingly, his legs showed some bounce and he had Cano backing up for much of the rest of the way.
Mosley went to 47-8-1 and won a WBC International welter title. Cano dropped to 26-3-1.
Many hammered Mosley for gloving up, and thought he should have stuck with the retirement he announced after losing to Canelo Alvarez on May 5, 2012. My stance is that he is living his one life, and I have seen boxers who have dropped off much more than he continue to play their trade. He told people that he'd been fighting with too many injuries, and now that he was healed up, things would go better.
He was asked after if he wanted another crack at Canelo, and he said that Canelo is a 154 now, and he's not.
Shane is correct he is too small for 154.
He had a spirited effort against Canelo but was way too small.
Good for Shane tonight.
I think Shane beats the terribly boring, grunting an powerless Alexander.
Go Shane! Age is another stage. Your fists are what will keep you on the front page. And not coulda, woulda and shoulda and hanging out in the man cage. Holla!
Shane needs to call it a day real talk.
I streamed the fight, the quality was bad it seemed close. I don't know what to say, good for Shane. He edged it, he lives to fight another day
Real talk, Shane can still walk da WALK! He will quit on his terms. And can still affect many-a-boksing arses like deadly germs.
I'm reminded of the lyrics of the ex-boxer-turned-the-hardest-working-man-in-show-business the late, great Godfather of Soul James Brown: It's yo' thang! Do what cha wanna DOOO! I can't tell ya,' who ta' suck it to." And also, similarly to the late, great "Blue Eyes" -- Frank Sinatra -- Sugar Shane Mosley will have and do it his way. Holla!
I eat he the poor stream a well and checked out a few rounds
on YouTube today with better quality.
Shane fought smart, didn't waste energy or rush.
He ripped that left body hook all throughout the fight.
Had a good jab and used the right hand well also.
At best 42 is he gonna beat the top elite no.
But he can still compete and fight some good fights.
God bless him.
Nothing wrong with competing at this level at this age.
Do what u love Shane.
It pretty obvious Shane wants,no parts of Canleo again.
And he shouldn't ever fought Canelo with injuries. And there is no money in a second bout. So move on with da prizefighting. Holla!
154 too big for shane
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

How to Make Chaga Extract at Home? – VIDEO
Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that has become increasingly popular in the West in the past few years. However, most supplement stores do not carry extracts, they rather sell supplements in the form of capsules. The attached video shows you how to make Chaga extract at home.
What is wrong with capsules in the first place? Nothing, really. However, most supplement manufacturers use lubricants in the medicinal mushroom manufacturing process – such as magnesium stearate – which is said to reduce the absorption rate of the product. Liquid extracts do not have to be lubricated and some say that extracts, including Chaga extract, are more bioavailable.
Health benefits of Chaga
According to the attached video, Chaga contains the highest amount of antioxidants ever found in any plants – levels that are six times higher than those in Acai berry. Chaga mushroom is also immunomodulating, antiviral and antibacterial. It works as an adaptogen, increasing body's resistance to stress and has anti-inflammatory properties. The video claims that Chaga extract has been used for centuries to treat stomach ulcers, gastritis, diabetes and cancer. Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that is also known as Inonotus Obliquus.
Only two ingredients required to make Chaga extract at home
The only two ingredients to make Chaga extract are Chaga mushroom itself and boiled cooled water. First you put the mushroom chunks in a bowl and cover with water. Cover and let soak for five hours or so. This makes the mushroom pieces softer.
The next steps are to take Chaga chunks out, soak them and weigh them. Write down the Chaga chunks' weight. When you finally make Chaga extract, it should be five parts of water to one part of grated Chaga.
The rest of the process requires grating your Chaga chunks, combining with water (both the water you used to soak them, and added water based on your Chaga chunks' weight), mixing both ingredients, and placing them in the fridge for two days. The video shows exactly how to make the extract, how to store and even gives you instructions on how much to consume.
There are different doses for general immune and antioxidant support and for more serious health conditions. So, if you are interested in making chaga extract, you will need to watch the 2 minute 43 second video for exact and easy-to-follow instructions.
The video is well put together by Margarita Eden, a Clinical Master Herbalist and Aromatherapist. She specializes in helping people to adapt a healthy lifestyle, including using herbal remedies, healthy diet and natural non-toxic skin care products. Her You Tube channel includes multiple instructional videos on how to prepare various remedies at home.

About this Typeface
Expanded features development by Joshua Darden, with production assistance by Thomas Jockin.
An exercise in whispering very loudly, Freight Micro is designed for use below 9 point in print and at text sizes on digital screens.
Freight Micro's angular forms result from the decision to modulate entire strokes and contours rather than to merely pare out problem areas with inktraps. Its internal shapes are high-contrast, to emphasize openness at screen sizes. The asymmetry of its serifs fosters an identifiably calligraphic thrust onscreen, especially when rendered using subpixel anti-aliasing technologies.
