Negative Pegasus, Balaclava Kid & Dad and Star Fields // NAC - 22.02.2013
The Star Fields is Jay, ex-Hypnotize Holliday, a one-man-band performing vocals, guitar, loops and samples. Opening song "Burning Ray" could be Suicide's "Ghost Rider" with guitar and that pretty much sums up the set. Musically intriguing but I'd appreciate a more interesting visual presentation – a bit of back-projection or lights wouldn't go amiss, which may be difficult for one man at the bottom of the bill.
Fresh from a session for BBC Norfolk's Introducing, Pip and Leo AKA BK & Dad make a fearsome racket. Their mix of metal and grindcore with hints of punk, post-rock and psyche is an immense, cathartic blast of noise but definitely not for those of a sensitive nature and frankly not something I'd listen to on a daily basis.
NegPeg are the sound of MBV's Kevin Shields, Hawkwind's Dave Brock and Neu!'s Klaus Dinger jamming the songs of Suicide (that band again), Loop and Swans. Surprisingly, underneath the noise of "Looming" and "Floating Omen", there beats a pop heart but Richard, Todd and Carla want to rip out the pop and utterly destroy it before burying it under a mound of feedback, noise and motorik repetition. Compelling, enthralling, bloody loud, I want more.

Skip to comments.Imus on rampage against Michael Reagan - microphone envy?
Posted on 06/24/2004 7:28:43 AM PDT by fishtank
Editorial by fishtank.
I heard Imus rant again against Michael Reagan in a strange example of possible microphone envy. Both Imus and Frank Rich did their best at Michael Moore-style "comedy" to insult Michael Reagan this morning.
Imus intimated last week that MR basically had no right or reason to be present at the side of the casket with Nancy, RonJr and Patti. The "I-man" made insulting remarks about Michael being the "adopted" kid, and that the rest of the family should "get rid of the adopted kid".
Is Imus transferring hatred of Ronald Reagan onto his son Michael? Is Imus supporting Kerry only because he doesn't like George W Bush? Is Imus too scared to directly criticize Reagan and Bush-43, so instead he transfers his disdain to people like Michael Reagan, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld?
Is Imus suffering ranch-envy in comparison to Don Rumsfeld? Both of them have ranches in New Mexico, but was Rumsfeld's ranch paid for through a non-profit donation effort?
Back to Michael Reagan - would Don Imus insult one of the kids staying at his ranch if the I-man found out that the child were adopted - like Michael Reagan was?
Is Imus so grumpy because his show starts in New York at 6 AM? Is he grumpier than normal because he has to get up two hours earlier to do the show from the New Mexico ranch?
I listen to Imus for one reason: he gets a lot of worthwhile interviews on his show. Period.
Imus is trash.
Who is Imus?? Are you possibly referring to that washed up liberal butt kissing has-been who ceased to be worth listening to several years ago?
I heard it, and Rich and Imus basically denegrated Reagan, asking if his body was in the coffin. Then went on to bash Michael Reagan, then went on to praise F911.
I listen to Imus, just because he is somewhat intelligent and does have good guests, but I do have to turn off the radio now and then as the liberal whores spew their diatribe. But honestly, it also gives me a clue to the liberal mindset and how wrong they are all going to be proven come November. One thing I always tell myself is that polls and pundits have a funny way of being wrong most of the time.
Woody Allen feels the same way about adoption. Creeps.
I cant wait for Imus to go the way of Bubba Hotep. He already looks the part.
BTW, that's a pet ferret (basically a weasel) in the photo.
Wow fishtank, thats pretty kinky.
Egad. I watched Bubba Hotep.....not sure if it has the mettle to approach WIld at Heart as a cult-classic. I didn't realize it was written by Joe Lansdale? till the end. I read Bad Chili...it was pretty funny. < end non-sequitur >
Right dead on !
Guns Before Butter.
a·nus n. pl. a·nus·es
The opening at the lower end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste is eliminated from the body.
Frank Rich should go back to measuring feet at his father's shoe stores in Washington. He's a real heel.
Who is Imus?? Are you possibly referring to that washed up liberal butt kissing has-been who ceased to be worth listening to several years ago?
Right dead on !
You guys still haven't narrowed it down for me.
No. Inus (or Anus) probably saw Michael in the shower.
Who watches or listens to this simpleton who hasn't sense enough to comb his hair or shave. He wears a cowboy hat as though setting up a dude ranch for kids in New Mexico qualifies him.
Just keeping FR up to date on the latest from the New York jerk jester.
When he was shilling for donations to his get a away ranch on the premise it was for kids, that was it for me. Granted I wasn't a regular listener. but all that money to have a few kids during the summer? What a scam.
I did this HTML adjustment to make it smaller.
Use a fraction of the height/width data from the right click "Properties" box for the correct proportions.
img src=http://home.toykeeper.net/ferrets/gfx/trash-1.jpg, width=614, width=461
Imus has abused so many drugs that he's been reduced to a shell of the 70s radio icon that he once was. He's deserves our pity and not much more.
The mumble mouthed moron actual brags that he bloviates about what he thinks people say (not what they actually say).
My sister's adopted. I'd deck Imus and Rich if they made similar remarks about her. They're just PUNKS.
I recently wrote a letter to WTKK (96.9) in Boston telling them I will not listen to the Imus in the Morning Show ever again and that they should get rid of it (and Barnicle and Egan and Browdy). The way to handle him is not to listen and to write letters to stations that carry his show telling them you won't listen. Radio stations sell advertising based on number of listeners so 96.9 will listen. After all, when listeners started tuning out Extreme Games (and writing letters to the station) and Extreme Games dropped from the number 1 show in the Boston market to the number 5 show, Jay Severin stopped his Bushbashing.
If you want to teach this liberal fartmouth a lesson, write a letter to your station saying you won't listen and then stop listening.
I only step over dog crap to avoid that!
Tell me more about WTKK, I didn't realize Jay Severin went from 1 to 5....I thought he was doing good, he is a bombastic egomaniac though.
Imus is death warmed over.
Matt Drudge was ragging on him big time a while back *LOL* I didn't know Imus had a ranch. He's so old, he needs to go out in the pasture with his cows.
Did anyone see the recent interview that Tim Russert had with Imus, his wife and his son. Imus' son seemed quite strange to me.
I thought adopted kids belonged to their parents just as much as biological kids. Imus is a rat for saying such a thing.
If all of us really started to ignore all these lunatics they might just go the way of the dodo bird. these cretians are still around because us conservatives are probably the only ones who give them the time of day.
I think we should stop listening to them period. they only have the occasional interview that we want to hear because these guys know its what keeps us tuned in. I say we need to tune them out. I havnt given a one of them the time of day for many years I only know about their antics because of FR. people used to ignore the fringe now it seems they are in our face constantly and taken seriously do the decent thing dont feed the crazies!!!
He flopped off the wagon.Maybe he'll be found incoherently urinating in a phone booth again.
Met one of the local guys at Fess Parker's winery one day and mentioned to him that we were among the callers who had protested their being pulled for Imus. He was very grateful to all who had called.
last time I monitored Imus his interviews were of Clinton butt-kissers like Howard Fineman. worthwhile? not.
Imus is a has-been DJ who should have be dumped by his company 20 years ago!!!
Michael is more of a son to RWR than Ron Jr will ever be BTW!!
Concur completely. Used to listen to Imus in early days of political talk radio (late 80's), but two crucially important things have taken place since then:
1) Imus has gone insane.
2) More and better choices are now available.
Imus may not be a "former" drug addict. Imus is in the business of character assasination and does a poor job of it.
Imus goes after the adopted Reagan for taking a shot at Bush, and that's supposed to be somehow because Imus doesn't like Bush? I think someone's wires are shorting, wrapped too tight or something...
I quit listening to Imus a couple of years ago. He's a total waste of time.............an immature moron who ought to be volunteering at the local rest home.
They do dalebert, but Imus says these things THINKING it's funny...........I've got news for him..........it ISN'T.

I was enabled to play the snake game with multi player by websocket.

Voting is now closed.
Very cool game. Played many times but not once I had any clue if I won or lost. Also it seemed that the game ended after different time lapses, but w/o a count-down I couldn't tell for sure.. User feedback is always useful.
Overall, very cool!
Great job I liked your design. It is clever to add to the original game and make it multi-player. Great job Nazomikan!
Help.comNow Hiring! Help.com
Nice to bring back snake.
Clever idea to add another player to the game! good design.
Development tip: Commit more often :)
Was fun to play a bit but the game lagged a bit. Good concept and always fun to play a bit of snake. Couldn't grasp the multiplayer aspect of it as in the video, no shadow snake for me.
Interesting approach to the popular snake game. It does what it says but could have a better UI.
not nothing new. but it is always fun to play good old snakes game.
Classic game! :) Probably need a few more players to make it interesting but nice work.
Nice game :)

Nevada Corporate Headquarters believes most complaints have come from former employees. Lastly, the company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Ms. Loggins says that as a result of the complaints, the Nevada Corporate Headquarters has implemented several changes to help increase the quality of its customers' experience. One of the changes being the voicemail system. This increase ensures messages left are being directed to the right employee.

Lonnie Weissman Nevada Corporate Headquarters Refuse to Give Refund- Lying Las Vegas NevadaI was referred to Lonnie Weissman by Chris Sanders who works with Denise Devoe in the Donald Trump Real Estate Foreclosure seminar business. Weissman is a very high pressure salesman who talked me into buying his program: you get your corporation to build up its credit score and then take out a loan in the name of the corporation. He calls it the "Business Funding Accelerator".
The next day I found someone else doing basically the same thing for half the cost. I called him and he said he could do that for $2,000 but the extra $1500 was to get a cash loan. I asked for some references of clients who had gotten such a loan using his services. Eventually I said "I want a refund- you haven't given me anything". He said they have a no refund policy and when they verified my credit card info that person read that to me and it was on tape. I said no one ever said any such thing, and lets hear the tape. He never produced a tape.
Now he refuses to take my call or respond in any way.
They have a negative rating from the BBB as well.

Practical advice about raising children

If you are looking to eat less sugar, I have got an alternative that might be a good fit for your family. Since going sugar-free (for the most part) our families main go-to sweetener has been stevia. Here's the lowdown on stevia and how to use it:

• It does NOT taste just like sugar. It's sweet and very concentrated, but it has a somewhat, faintly-licorice aftertaste. When baking with it, the aftertaste can easily be masked and you will only pick up the "sweetness" of stevia. But when putting it directly in a cup of tea or coffee, you will notice the aftertaste. So it's best to use it when the flavor can be covered with other ingredients.
• It is expensive compared to sugar. A good quality stevia (and only buy good quality brands!) such as Sweet Leaf, Now & Kal will cost approximately $6-$12.
Now the good news:
• It is an herb (a member of the of the chrysanthemum family). If you have a green thumb, try adding this herb to your garden.
• It has a zero glycemic index and zero calories. Personally, I am not concerned about calories but I am about the glycemic index (I would rather experience a low glycemic response from food).
• Stevia is very concentrated and much sweeter than table sugar (when baking, it is estimated that you need 1 teaspoon of stevia to replace 1 cup of sugar. When it comes to replacing stevia with sugar, you will need to fidget with your favorite recipes to get it just right).
• It is heat stable and can easily be used for cooking and baking. It takes some time to adjust to the reduced volume compared to sugar and to the taste difference. I try to bake primarily with stevia (and/or honey — I sometimes use 1/2 stevia and 1/2 honey). I now consider this my go-to sweetener in our household.
• Stevia companies such as Sweet Leaf are making flavored liquid stevia drops to use in everything from your morning coffee to baking. The drops come in flavors such as chocolate, chocolate raspberry, lemon drop, peppermint, root beer, vanilla crème and hazelnut.Sold at your local co op, whole foods or natural food store.

Their styles, and abilities are not even remotely similar. Aside from the fact that they both have quick hands, the similarities end there.
Like I pointed out in my earlier post, Khan lacks the ability to transition from offense to defense, and vice versa; he lacks the ability to stay in the pocket, slip/pick off shots, and counterpunch. . This is actually one of the dynamics, and main strengths of Judah's game. Judah's defense is based around his head/upper-body movement, while Khan completely lacks this. Judah is fluid, and more natural, while Khan is stiffer, but faster.
Khan has to totally commit himself to offense, which consists of coming straight in, throwing combinations - it is what leads to him getting caught. Or, he has to totally commit himself to his defense (or really, lack thereof) - he is either standing stationary with the earmuffs on absorbing shots, or he's on his bicycle pedaling around the ring, dictating range to avoid the other boxer from engaging him.
Judah is actually able to stand in the pocket, and slip shots, and fire back with clean counters. He has fairly good head/upper-body movement.
Essentially, Khan relies on combinations, while Judah relies on hard, clean single shots - often off the counterpunch.
But yes, Khan has incredible stamina - his style of boxing is very taxing, and exhausting. Utilizing your feet to constantly move, and skeet around the ring is just as energy-sapping as firing off combinations. And of course Judah lacks stamina. . . Also, Khan does have heart for days, while Judah has no heart. none.

On the second day of arguments over the health care law, the government argued in favor of the 2010 measure's mandate that Americans buy insurance. The liberal members — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan — mostly seemed sympathetic to the government's argument. Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia appeared to side with the law's challengers. Questions from Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy suggested that they might be skeptical of the mandate's constitutionality. Clarence Thomas was, as usual, silent. Here's a look at some of the questions:

Well, the company already knew that I had negative issues with my credit. I was told thats what they specialize in and offer loans that banks don't
I was "approved" for a $5000 loan. However in order to get it, the company needed some type of collateral. My first option was to use a car but I don't own one now. So my other option was to have an insurance company take out some type of policy on my behalf to show the investors (who supposedly sent the money to Mitchell Rose) that I wasn't a risk. I had to send them 5 months worth of what my monthly payments would be which totalled about $781.90. This amount would be used as collateral and that would leave me payment free for the first 6 months and that money was going to be credited it towards paying back the loan.
In order to get funded after the documentation was complete, I had 2 options. I could mail them a certified money order or check for the amount and then have to wait 10-14 business days to have my funds sent to me by mail or direct deposit.
The second option was to send funds via western union which would mean getting the loan in 1 business day. I wanted and needed this money asap so I wanted to the quickest way. So I wired money to an individual in Spain cause this is how they operate with oversees investors. I started to send him the first 700.00 dollars via western union and Mr. Noah Dodge, who was my agent told me to give him the MTCN number, so that he can send the info to the person waiting for the funds - some one by the name of Samuel Lyones Mr. Patterson told me that I should have my funds between 2-4 the next day.
I checked my account periodically during the day only to realize that it was after 4 and no money. I started to call and email Mr. Dodge and I didn't get a response, until later that day another man from accounting called to tell me that I did everything correctly but that their was a problem. Supposedly, the insurance company, felt that I was more of a higher risk than previously believed. I was never told what the issue was relating to my credit which was already checked by Mitchell rose in the beginning.
I was told that if I sent an additional $781.90I would get the loan. And when I asked the man what will make it stop there? Will the company try to hit me up even more before seeing a penny? He was like saying "no, because your risk can only be assessed once.
I told the man that I couldnt afford another $781.90 and that I was in a very tight spot by sending them the first amount. I was then told to think about it and I said that there was nothing to think about cause I can't send more money. I was then told to ask for a refund, which is what I did. But now I have to wait until July 15, which is their billing cycle. When I expressed how angry I was, the man referred to some small print on the contract that I signed. The small print said something about the company (or investor) has a right to request more collateral if deemed fit.
The man said that if I mailed them a check, he could have easily refunded my money cause it would be in the US. But since the funds went oversees is why I have to wait.
I fear that they're not going to return my money and they have my banking info such as acct number. This is why i filed this rip-off report

I'll be honest. I don't always WANT to jump out of my warm cozy bed an hour before I have to and jump around my apartment or lift weights. I know, crazy. Half the time, especially on weekends, this is my "motivational" thought process:
"Ugh, I sooo don't want to workout today. I'm sore, I should rest. Even though I just had a rest day. I could do this tomorrow; I bet I'll want to tomorrow."
"I guess I could stretch. I have a little energy, just to stand up and stretch but so NOT for the whole workout."
"Let me just turn it on. I'm not going to do it, I just want to see how it starts. Assess the situation."
"Oh, okay that was fast, they're warming up already. I guess I can do the warm up, that's like nothing."
"Oh, we're already on to the first move. I could do that one. Let's just keep moving, see how I feel."
"Well, I might as well keep going, I need to shower anyway…"
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I end up working out. Just put on your clothes, turn on your workout program, and before you know it you'll be halfway through.
Although this is what works when I really don't feel like working out, it's not the most inspiring, motivational, or reliable way to get me going most mornings. You probably don't want to hear this, but the real "secret" to getting your daily exercise is to make it a habit.
Yep, yep, you've heard it all before. But guess what? There's no "special secret" to getting in your workout (unless you count my energize pre-workout drink ;)), it is a conscious choice that you make every day. It can be easier, however, if you do it every day, around the same time- which is a habit. You know how it is, no matter what you're trying to do, the more days you take off, the harder it is to get back into the activity.
I've put together a few tips to help you create daily exercise a habit. But remember you have to make the decision to do it every day, and every day you CHOOSE not to, you're only making it harder for yourself the next day!
1. Visualize Your Goals.
Whether you write them out or create an inspiration board, putting your goals up where you will see them every day can help to remind you of your bigger "why" behind each small step that you take to get there. When it's Tuesday morning and your alarm is going off, it's easy to forget the big picture- so visualizations of where you want to be and how you want to feel can help pull you out of bed!
2. Schedule Your Workouts.
Treat your workouts like a meeting with yourself- a non-negotiable. Unless you're sick or injured, you're showing up to that meeting at work, right? So why not have the same courtesy for yourself! At the beginning of each week put your workouts in your schedule, and be specific. If you don't have a plan, it's harder to visualize and easier to pass over for something else.
3. Prepare Ahead of Time.
If you're going to get up early to workout, be sure to lay out your workout clothes and anything else you might need the night before. If you're going after work, pack them together to take with you or leave in your car. These small steps of preparation not only save time, but they help to remove obstacles between you and your exercise routine.
4. Get Accountability and Support.
There's a big difference between not showing up for yourself, and not showing up for someone else. We're typically inclined to put in more effort if someone else is expecting us to be there or they're going to check in with us later. If you can't have an in-person workout buddy, consider joining a challenge group or pairing up with a friend to exchange workout schedules and check in with one another.
5. Include Other Positive Habits.
Working out is great, but adding in other healthy habits will make you more inclined to keep at it. If you're eating healthy, getting lots of sleep, and drinking plenty of water, you're going to feel better all around and want to keep treating your body well. Plus, what's the point of all that exercise if you're not eating well too? Remember, nutrition is 80% of the game!

Gravity 'to blame for hair loss', says Dr Emin Tuncay Ustuner, a plastic surgeon in Ankara, Turkey
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- November 01, 2013
THERE is a new theory on why men go bald and it all has to do with gravity.
Dr Emin Tuncay Ustuner, a plastic surgeon in Ankara, Turkey, says the answer to male pattern baldness is not hormones or bad genes but the weight of the scalp on hair follicles.
He argues that young men have more fat tissue on their scalps which keeps the hair follicles well hydrated.
But, Dr Ustuner says, that fat disappears as men age and hence the reason why hair falls out.
Declining levels of testosterone contribute to that scalp fat decreases.
Dr Ustuner acknowledges that his "gravity theory" for hair loss has met with "notable skepticism and resistance."
He says, "Simplifying a very complicated problem is probably the only disadvantage of the theory."
He believes that individual hair loss patterns are affected by differences in the shape of the head, reflecting variations in scalp pressure.
Dr Ustuner believes men's ears help resist the effects of gravity on the scalp, lessening hair loss on the sides of the head.
The research is published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Montague Glass
Montague Marsden Glass (born July 23, 1877 – June 21, 1934) was a British-American Jewish lawyer and writer of short stories, plays and film scripts. His greatest success came with the creation of his fictional duo Abe Potash and Mawrus Perlmutter, who appeared in three books, a play, and several films.
Glass was born in Manchester, England, but spent his childhood in Baguley, in Cheshire.[1] Glass' father worked in the linen and cotton trade. The Glass family moved to New York in 1890, in pursuit of Glass' father's business interests. Glass married Mary Caroline Patterson in 1908. He attended The College of the City of New York, and New York University Law School. After qualifying for the bar, Glass practiced law for several years while writing semi-professionally on the side. In 1909, Glass abandoned the practice of law to write full-time. Glass' transition from law to professional writing coincided with the emergence of the a pair of characters that would prove to be his most enduringly popular creations: Abe Potash and Mawrus Perlmutter.[1]
Potash & Perlmutter[edit]
Potash and Perlmutter made their debut in the short stories published serially in the New York Evening Post. These were then published in a collection "Potash and Perlmutter: Their Copartnership Ventures and Adventures," in 1909.[2] In the first story, Potash and Perlmutter meet and become partners in the "cloak and suit" business, subsequent stories seek humor in the pair's business dealings with buyers, suppliers and employees.
Glass, trained as a lawyer, derived the plots of many of the stories from his own experience of the legal problems typical of traders in goods: breached contracts, deliveries of non-conforming goods, problems with trade credit, etc. "For ten years Mr. Glass was present almost daily at bankruptcy meetings, closing of titles to real estate, and conferences with reference to the entrance into or dissolution of co-partnerships."[3] These experiences formed the basis of his stories.[3]
The characters of Potash and Perlmutter were both Jewish, like Glass himself. The characters' Jewishness is highlighted by Glass' use of dialect in rendering their dialogue. One contemporary critic wrote: "His method is photographic and phonographic; that is, we get the life just as it stirs daily in the cloak and suit section of New York, and we get it through its own language."[4] In rendering the characters' dialect in print, Glass primarily relied on word choice and word order, seldom misspelling words for effect.[3] Thus, a critic in 1917 distinguished Glass' style from "dialect stories ... in which the "Hoot mon" and "Ah'. gwuine, Suh" are sprinkled as liberally as caraway seeds in rye bread."[3]
The use of dialect was carried over into the stage adaptations. Willa Cather wrote of the play "Potash and Perlmutter": "[T]here is not an American in the piece and the only character who speaks conventional English is a Russian refugee."[5] In a later essay, Cather remarked that the stage dialect was accurate enough to satisfy a heavily Jewish audience that was fully familiar with the types being portrayed.[6]
The characters seem to have been enjoyed by Jewish audiences. Willa Cather wrote of the play "Potash and Perlmutter": "During the long run of 'Potash and Perlmutter' here, we learned as much about the garment trade in New York from the very characteristic audiences as from the play. Far from dissenting or disapproving, the great Jewish population of the city packed Cohen's Theater night after night, roared at and applauded the play, greedily appropriated it, fairly ate it up."[6] She added: "Mr. Montague Glass' characters were not counterfeits."[6]
Critical reception[edit]
Glass' print and stage presentations of the characters Potash and Perlmutter were positively received by contemporary critics. The literary journal The Bookman named the characters' debut collection, Potash & Perlmutter: Their Copartnership Ventures and Adventures, a book of the month in August 1910. In a two-page review, its critic James Oppenheim declared: "Mr. Glass is an artist. ... [His characters] live as really as Pickwick, beck Sharp, and Falstaff."[4] The same review speculated and hoped that Mr. Glass might employ his aptitude for creating memorable characters in future works to match the best works of Charles Dickens: "[I]t is to be hoped that this book is Mr. Glass' Pickwick Papers and that he is going on to write a David Copperfield."
Willa Cather called Glass' 1914 play Potash & Perlmutter the "most successful - and the best -- play now running in New York."[5] She acknowledged, however, the play was "rather loosely made"[5] and the plot negligible, stating that it was "built upon the theory that people are more interested in character types and in live lines than in situations." Writing of both the early short stories and plays featuring the characters, author Arthur Bartlett Maurice wrote: "[T]here is not more vital trail in recent fiction dealing with the city [of New York] than that of Mr. Montague Glass"[3]
In modern times, Glass and his work have been largely forgotten. In part, changing attitudes about the portrayal of race and ethnicity have led to the near-total disappearance of dialect writing such as that featured in the Potash & Perlmutter stories. In an extensive biographical and critical introduction to a modern reprint of selected Potash & Perlmutter stories, editor S.T. Joshi cites examples of modern criticism of Glass' use of dialect, but responds: "There is no reason to doubt Glass' assertion, in The Truth About Potash and Perlmutter,[7] that the speech he places in the mouths of all his characters (not just his two protagonists) is the speech he actually heard as a lawyer in dealing with Jewish members of the garment and other industries in New York. Certainly, the language he utilizes is not nearly as much a caricature as, say, that of Leo Rosten's Hyman Kaplan. ...The use of Germano-Yiddish expressions adds richness and vibrancy to the characters."[8]
Stage, film and radio adaptations[edit]
Glass wrote a series of stage comedies featuring Potash and Perlmutter, co-writing the majority of them with Jules Eckert Goodman. These stage works included Potash and Perlmutter (1913) (with Charles Klein); Abe and Mawruss (1915) (with Roi Cooper Megrue); Business Before Pleasure (1917) (with Jules Eckert Goodman); His Honor: Abe Potash (1919) (with Jules Eckert Goodman); Partners Again (1922) (with Jules Eckert Goodman); Potash and Perlmutter, Detectives (1926) (with Jules Eckert Goodman).[9] The play Keeping Expenses Down was based on a story about Potash and Perlmutter, although the names of the characters were changed for the stage production.[8]:10,15 Several film adaptations of the stories were made, including Potash and Perlmutter (1923), In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter (1924), and Partners Again (1926). In most of these adaptations, the roles of Abe Potash and Mawruss Perlmutter were played respectively by Barney Bernard and Alexander Carr, both of whom were lauded for their performances by Willa Cather.[5][6] Although several of his other plays received favorable notices, except for Potash and Perlmutter, they had short runs.[10][11]
Other works[edit]
Glass also wrote many short stories and essays that were unrelated to the characters of Potash & Perlmutter, publishing several collections largely composed of such work: Y'Understand (1925), Lucky Numbers (1927), and You Can't Learn 'Em Nothin' (1930). In addition, he was author or co-author of several plays that did not feature Potash and Perlmutter, including Object - Matrimony (1916) (with Jules Eckert Goodman); Why Worry? (musical comedy) (1918) (book by Glass, with Jules Eckert Goodman, music and lyrics by Blanche Merrill); and Keeping Expenses Down (1932) (with Dan Jarett).[9]
