Divino, Palermo Villa's replacement, is open
Divino Wine & Dine, the restaurant replacing Palermo Villa, has begun serving its menu of pizzas and Italian dishes.
It opened quietly last week, at 2315 N. Murray Ave. Co-owner Dean Cannestra said Divino's liquor license came through on Friday, so they decided to open the doors. With just passers-by and word of mouth, Divino had a good crowd for its soft opening, he said. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Video Review: Lois Ehlert's 'The Scraps Book'
Milwaukee artist Lois Ehlert, famous for her many colorful picture books including "Color Zoo" and "Eating the Alphabet," has published a new book that takes children and other readers inside her studio and explains how she works.
Like her other books, "The Scraps Book" (Beach Lane Books, $17.99) is told through collages. She remembers how her parents, who liked to sew and do woodworking, encouraged her to make things. She often makes her collages through objects found in nature and everyday things around her. She also has some collections for inspiration and other uses, such as a collection of ice fishing decoys. »Read Full Article

Moscow - Fabio Capello says he will stay in his post as Russia coach despite the team's Soccer World Cup failure.
Russia was eliminated after the group stage in Brazil without winning a game, prompting speculation the Italian would be fired.
After emerging from his second meeting with Russian Football Union officials in three days, Capello told local media it was "confirmed" that he "will continue to work with the Russian team."
Capello signed a contract extension in January taking him through to the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
That deal reportedly contains a clause that would require the Russian Football Union to pay out at least $25 million in compensation for firing him at this stage.
The 68-year-old Capello has previously said the Russia job will be his last.

Video: The Concert Corner - Summerfest's first headliner, recapping Bob Dylan and more
After a two-week hiatus due to Superstorm Sandy, the Concert Corner with CineStars' Brittany Umar is up and running again. (CineStars is based in New Jersey, and was without power for over a week because of the storm.)
For this installment I take a look back at two shows I recently reviewed - Bob Dylan at the BMO Harris Bradley Center last Thursday, and R. Kelly's randy show at the Milwaukee Theatre Saturday - plus take a look at the week's big show with Journey (don't stop believin' people) and Summerfest's first headliner announcement. »Read Full Blog Post

The 2012 NCAA tournament has entered the final stage: the Final Four. All four teams left have one goal in mind, and that is to win a championship. However, each team has one thing it must do to win it all.
Kentucky is the No. 1 team in the country, but John Calipari and company have a matchup with rival Louisville in the Final Four. On the other side, we see a matchup between Kansas and Ohio State that pits two similar teams that are getting hot at the same time.
The Final Four is nice, but it is not the ultimate prize in college basketball. All four teams are looking for a title, and to win it, they must first do these things.

Biggest adjustment in middle school? Lockers!
Our 6th-grade blogger Nathaniel Cain checks in with a report after his first full week of middle school in Brooklyn.
On Thursday, the first day of school, I was VERY, VERY nervous. I didn't know anyone—except one friend, who was in a different class. It turned out great—all my teachers are amazing. They're super nice and I can tell that they will be teaching me a lot. I can tell this year is going to be great!
It definitely took some small adjustments, though. In elementary school, they have the learning materials. In middle school, especially a large one like mine, they expect you to have everything in your bag, in the moment. Also, going from class to class took some adjusting, too. The 8th-graders tend to dominate the hallways and it's very, very crowded.
High School Hustle: Let LaGuardia be LaGuardia
The call to our home came a few months into my older son's freshman year at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, the performing arts public high now under fire for prioritizing academics over talent.
"This is Dr. Barbara Rowes, and I have something to tell you.''
My heart caught in my throat as I waited to hear from this feared but highly respected English teacher, notorious for setting seemingly impossibly high standards at the school made iconic in the 1980 movie "Fame".
"Now, I know that your son wants to be a rock star,'' she told me. "But I just finished grading his paper. I think he has a future as a scholar."
I knew he'd been struggling. And now, here was one teacher in this sprawling school of the arts who cared enough about his writing progress to let me know—a measure of how seriously the school takes its dual mission of both college and conservatory arts preparation.
Applying to middle school? Tips from a 6th-grader
Applying to middle school—a process that begins in the fall of 5th grade—can be stressful if you don't know what you're doing. It's very important that you stay on task.
My name is Nathaniel Cain and I am a soon-to-be 6th-grader at MS 51, the William Alexander School in Brooklyn's District 15. I comment on Insideschools frequently and you may know me from my profile, "sixthgrader."
When I was applying to middle school, I had two challenges: 1. There are no zoned middle schools in District 15; and 2. I was living in one of the most competitive school districts in all of New York City. Your struggles may be different.
Here are some tips as you navigate through the middle school process, whether you're a parent or a rising 5th-grade student:
How to rule your school: Advice for rising 9th-graders
By Katie Radvany and Kaia Tien
If you're a rising freshman, you're probably already freaking out about your first day of high school. But everyone is just as terrified as you are. You might think everyone is going to be in a competition to rise to the top of the social strata, but being at the top is overrated. High school is only four short years, so you might as well spend it with the people you like.
Do's and don'ts:
We've been through this year ourselves, and we have a lot of advice to offer. But the most important thing to remember is do not, under any circumstance, use a rolling backpack. Everyone will be giving you dirty looks in the halls when they trip over it.
A long, hungry summer? Filling the nutrition gap for kids
by Karra Puccia
During 10 months of the year, hundreds of thousands of New York City kids eat free school breakfasts and lunches. These meals constitute a vital lifeline for families with already-stretched food budgets. So for many such families, the June 28th last day of public school classes may be less about planning summer fun for the kids and more about facing a serious months-long gap in their nutrition.
It doesn't have to be that way. Each year, the federal Summer Food Service Program (which New York City's Department of Education administers under the name "NYC Summer Meals") provides free breakfasts and lunches to all kids 18 and younger—without registration, documents or ID required. From June 29th—the first full day of summer school vacation—right through September 2nd, Summer Meals will be offered weekdays at public schools, Parks Department outdoor pools, New York City Housing Authority complexes, libraries, food pantries, soup kitchens, community organizations and other locations throughout the city. There will also be four mobile food trucks providing meals seven days a week.
Unfortunately, the Summer Meals program can seem like the world's best-kept secret. Food Bank For New York City is in a position to know. We serve nearly 1.4 million people—almost one out of every five New New Yorkers –through a network of food pantries, soup kitchens and community-based charities. And our October 2013 report, "Hunger's New Normal: Redefining Emergency in Post-Recession New York City," which was based on interviews with more than 1,200 people using food pantries and soup kitchens in all five boroughs, found that a whopping two-thirds of families using those resources don't take advantage of Summer Meals. The number one reason? They don't even know about it.
Diversity in New York's specialized schools: A deeper data dive
by Nicole Mader, Bruce Cory, and Celeste Royo
The most recent Urban Matters ("Tough Test Ahead: Bringing Diversity to New York's Specialized High Schools") reported on patterns of racial and ethnic admission to some of the city's most prestigious secondary schools and how admissions might more closely mirror the overall composition of the city's public schools. As we showed, only about 16 percent of high-performing Black and Hispanic middle school students gain admission to these elite public high schools.
This week we're following up on comments and questions we received from you.
First, we show all 7th graders in 2012-13 by race, ethnicity and performance level at all 536 public middle schools (including charter schools). At the top of this chart, we see the handful of "feeder" middle schools that send high-performing students of all races to the eight high schools that rely on the specialized high school admissions tests (SHSAT). But we also see hundreds of schools that fail to prepare any students for these specialized schools. Click here to see the chart.
Tough test ahead: Bringing racial diversity to specialized high schools
By Bruce Cory, editorial advisor and Nicole Mader, data analyst at the Center for New York City Affairs.
There's a longstanding debate about why so few Black and Hispanic students are admitted to New York City's specialized high schools, including Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech. They accounted for fewer than 9 percent of students offered admissions at eight specialized schools for the current school year; that's down from 9.6 percent the year before. Some say the specialized high school admissions test (SHSAT) is discriminatory and should be scrapped; others say the test merely reflects the poor preparation most Black and Hispanic students, who make up some 68 percent of public school enrollment, get in the elementary and middle schools.
Now, new research by the Center for New York City Affairs shows that even Black and Hispanic students who do very well in middle school—that is, those who as 7th-graders earn the best possible scores on either math or English language arts (ELA) state standardized tests—are much less likely to attend specialized high schools than their similarly high-performing Asian or White classmates.
This suggests that the City's Department of Education (DOE) may be able to increase Black and Hispanic specialized high school admissions without scrapping the SHSAT (a politically daunting task) or completely overhauling the elementary and middle schools. It offers hope that plans announced last week to increase the diversity of students taking and passing the SHSAT could produce progress.
HS admissions: Improved directory, July workshops & key dates
It's time for 7th-graders to be thinking about applying to high school. The Department of Education announced key dates for rising 8th-graders including its annual series of July high school admissions information sessions.
The 2017 high school directory is online, and paper copies are available for every 7th-grader at schools and at Family Welcome Centers. In addition to the 600-page book that lists every city high school, there are now individual directories for each borough. Students may see at a glance the different kinds of programs in each borough and what the particular challenges are for students applying.
In another change, the directory now makes it easier to understand the odds of acceptance to a school whether you are in the pool of general education (GE) students or are a student with a disability (SWD). For each school there's information on the number of GE and SWD seats available, how many applicants there were for each category in the previous year and whether or not those seats were filled.
Top 20: Queens high schools get most applications
Huge neighborhood schools in Queens topped the list of the 20 most sought-after high schools in 2016, according to data released by the Department of Education today. That's not surprising in a borough where most popular high schools are over-crowded and operating with staggered start times.
With 9,468 applications, Francis Lewis received the most applications. Second was Forest Hills High School with 8,375 applicants. Both schools have sizeable zoned programs, giving preference to students who live in the neighborhood, as well as offering themed programs open to anyone.
8th-graders get high school admissions results
High school acceptance letters arrived Friday for the more than 75,000 8th-graders who submitted applications in December. Ninety-three percent of them went home knowing they were accepted by a high school; the remaining 7 percent came up empty-handed and must apply again, choosing from a list of schools that still have room. (See our picks here.)
The number of Black and Hispanic students accepted at the highly competitive specialized exam high schools dropped, prompting Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña to once again call for "strategies to foster diversity at these schools."
The city touted gains made by students with disabilities who were accepted in higher numbers than ever before by some of the most selective schools, not including the specialized high schools.
Here's a rundown of the results.

Urticaria pigmentosa (UP), or cutaneous mastocytosis, is the most common mast cell disease of childhood. It produces no visceral lesions or systemic symptoms and usually improves by adolescence.1
During the last 100 years, the literature has reported cases of various forms of mastocytosis in 40 families in which more than one member was affected.2 Among these cases were 11 sets of twins and one set of triplets. Seven pairs of identical twins and the triplets were concordant for the disorder, while two identical twin pairs and the two fraternal sets were discordant. We report an eighth set of identical twins who both have UP, and we discuss the genetics of this condition.
Report of Cases
Twins 1 and 2 were black, male infants who were seen at the age of 4 months. Their parents were not related, and there was no family history of skin disease. The delivering

Everyone who made the 2014 NBA playoffs deserves congratulations. However, the work is not done yet for those teams still playing basketball.
For a few specific players, that means even more. These guys have made it through a full season but still have plenty to prove. There is a great amount of pressure on big names who have fallen from fans' graces or finally have the opportunity to prove themselves deserving of that level of stardom to perform well this spring.
The games are underway, and no team or player wants to be embarrassed at this level. It is time for these players to deliver or get out of the spotlight.

Fifty Cents and a Dreamby Jabari Asim Bryan Collier
Booker dreamed of making friends with words, setting free the secrets that lived in books. Born into slavery, young Booker T. Washington could only dream of learning to read and write. After emancipation, Booker began a five-hundred-mile journey, mostly on foot, to Hampton Institute, taking his first of many steps towards a college degree. When he arrived, he had just fifty cents in his pocket and a dream about to come true. The young slave who once waited outside of the schoolhouse would one day become a legendary educator of freedmen. Award-winning artist Bryan Collier captures the hardship and the spirit of one of the most inspiring figures in American history, bringing to life Booker T. Washington's journey to learn, to read, and to realize a dream.
The N Wordby Jabari Asim
The debate over the N word touches almost every aspect of American popular culture. Does it ever have an appropriate place in the media? Are rappers justified in using it? Should Huckleberry Finn, which repeats it 215 times, be taught in high school? As the cultural critic Jabari Asim explains, none of these questions can be addressed effectively without a clear knowledge of the word's bitter legacy. Here he draws on a wide range of examples from science, politics, the arts, and more to reveal how the slur has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America over the last four hundred years. He examines the contributions of such well-known figures as Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain, W.E.B. Du Bois and Margaret Mitchell, Dave Chappelle and NWA. Through this history, Asim shows how completely our national psyche is affected by the use of the word, and why it's such a flashpoint today.
Not Guiltyby Jabari Asim
Twelve black men comment on prejudice.
Only the Strongby Jabari Asim
"Captivating. " --Jane Ciabattari, NPR Book Concierge: Best Books of 2015 "Incomparable charisma and verve. " --The Root, Best Fiction of 2015 "Lean, mean, and moving. " --Kirkus Reviews, Kirkus Prize nominee Jabari Asim's debut novel returns readers to Gateway City, the fictional Midwestern city first explored in his acclaimed short story collection, Taste of Honey. Against a 1970s backdrop of rapid social and political change, Only the Strong portrays the challenges and rewards of love in a quintessential American community where heartbreak and violence are seldom far away. Moved by the death of Martin Luther King Jr. , Lorenzo "Guts" Tolliver decides to abandon his career as a professional leg-breaker and pursue a life of quiet moments and generous helpings of banana pudding in the company of his new, sensuous lover. His erstwhile boss, local kingpin Ananias Goode, is also thinking about slowing down--but his tempestuous affair with Dr. Artinces Noel, a prominent pediatrician, complicates his retirement plans. Meanwhile, Charlotte Divine, the doctor's headstrong protégée, struggles with trials of her own. With prose that's sharp, humorous, and poetic, Asim skillfully renders a compelling portrait of urban life in the wake of the last major civil-rights bill. Massive change is afoot in America, and these characters have front-row seats.
A Taste of Honey: Storiesby Jabari Asim
Poignant and powerful, this debut collection from preeminent writer and critic Jabari Asim heralds his arrival as an exciting new voice in African American fiction. Through a series of fictional episodes set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent years in modern history, Asim brings into pin-sharp focus how the tumultuous events of '68 affected real people's lives and shaped the country we live in today. The sixteen connected stories in this exciting debut are set in the fictional Midwestern town of Gateway City, where second generation off-spring of the Great Migrators have pieced together a thriving, if fragile existence. With police brutality on the rise, the civil rights movement gaining momentum, and wars raging at home and abroad, Asim has conjured a community that stands on edge. But it is the individual struggles with love, childrearing, adolescence, etc, lyrically chronicled here, that create a piercing portrait of humanity. In I'd Rather Go Blind and Zombies, young Crispus Jones, who while sensitive to the tremors of upheaval around him is still much more concerned with his crush on neighbor Polly and if he's ever going to be as cool as his brother. When Ray Mortimer, a white cop, kills the owner of his favorite candy store, Crispus becomes aware of malice even more scary than zombies and the ghost that he thinks may be haunting his house. In The Wheat from the Tares and A Virtuous Woman, Rose Whittier deals with her abusive husband with a desperate resignation until his past catches up with him and she's given a second chance at love. And Gabriel, her suitor, realizes that his whole-hearted commitment to The Struggle may have to give way for his own shot at romance. And in Ashes to Ashes we see how a single act of despicable violence in their childhoods cements a lasting connection between two unlikely friends. From Crispus' tender innocence to Ray Mortimer's near pure evil, to Rose's quiet determination, the characters in this book and their journeys showcase a world that is brimming with grace and meaning and showcases the talents of a writer at the top of his game. From the Trade Paperback edition.
What Obama Meansby Jabari Asim
"This is our moment. This is our time," Barack Obama declared in his victory speech the night he was elected president. Such a moment is an opportunity to explore who we are, where we've been, and what the emergence of a leader like Obama can tell us about our culture, our politics, and our future. Jabari Asim provides the context needed to understand what the Obama presidency means to Americans of all backgrounds and shows that Obama's election is evidence of the progress that has been made in healing wounds and broadening America's concept of leadership and inspiration.

Our desert here is EXPLODING with color right now. It's been several years since I've seen this much color! Fortunately, my allergies ARE NOT bothering me, but other folks are pretty miserable.

Garden center
I drove up to our local garden center Sunday morning, since I hadn't been up there for over a month. I wanted to buy some cosmos and zinnia seeds. They didn't have any that I wanted. Instead, they had some strange looking cosmos and NO zinnia seeds. But, camera in hand, I wandered around and enjoyed seeing all their plants! :-)

These are not my roses. I simply cannot grow roses. I've tried and tried over the last 40 years...sigh...
These are at the Palm Desert civic center park. They had to pull out their old ones and replant them, so these are only a year old...they look pretty tired right now.

Ice at the local nursery
It was 21 degrees here in our valley two mornings ago. This morning it was 34 degrees on the front porch here at home. I'm keeping an eye on my sunflower seedings. They didn't like the cold and most of them are bent. I hope they survive.
I went up to our local nursery that morning. This is what I found at 8:30 that morning...

Some garden color (FINALLY!)
I bought a couple new daisy plants this weekend because one of them that I bought at Lowe's died. YES! Already! I also found a red verbena, which the butterflies and hummingbirds will enjoy! I added 3 other blue daisy-type plants, so I now have a variety of color! And, the lavender is starting to open up and bloom! Life is good!

More flowers for the front yard
I went back to the nursery center yesterday and bought 4 more snapdragons, 1 mint, and 2 verbena. Now the garden looks pretty full and I think I'm set for the season. I also bought 3 packages of miniature sunflower seeds which only grow to be 2-3 feet tall. These will make a nice hedge against the railroad ties raised bed, I believe. I also planted the 7 cabbage plants that were leftovers from Friday. All 125 of our 3rd graders got to take home a cabbage plant, but there were about 15 leftovers, so I took 7 and put them in the raised bed. I planted the mint in the middle of them, so maybe it will keep some pests away!
Here are some photos of the newest plants:

Let's face it: Planning a child's birthday party can be a chore. There's the whole pre-party to-do list, from picking a theme and a venue, to winnowing the guest list, to shopping for decorations, party favors and food. But you also want the occasion to be fun, memorable and budget-friendly. No pressure. To help take the stress out of your next party-planning venture, here are some tips compiled from party and etiquette experts:
Step 1: Choose a theme and iron out details
Brainstorm theme ideas a few months in advance with your children's interests in mind. Popular themes include superheroes, princesses, pirates and tea parties.
For younger children, try thinking outside the box for theme ideas. Family hobbies or even the simpler interests of the baby - bubbles, balls or a favorite stuffed animal - can serve as inspiration.
Once you've picked the theme, pick a few solid colors to decorate with.
To keeps things manageable, choose one or two parts of the party you'd like to make special. Go all out on cute cupcakes or make a customized banner, but don't feel like every aspect has to be unique.
Step 2: Send invitations
Send the invites two to three weeks before the party with a specific reply-by date that's a few days out. If parents or siblings are also invited to the party, indicate it on the invitation by using wording like "siblings welcome" or "John Smith and family." If children are to be dropped off at the party, specify by listing a pick-up and drop-off times.
Generally, parents are expected to stay at the party with children under five years old. For children this young, the party time should only last about an hour and happen before 1 p.m. or after 3 p.m. to avoid popular nap times. Parties for older children can last a little longer, about two hours maximum.
When it comes to the guest list, invite your child's closest friends, but don't forget to keep your budget and party space in mind - especially if parents will be attending as well.
Step 3: Plan food and children's activities
Consider planning games that go with the party's theme, such as a treasure hunt for a pirate party, or plan a few crafts for party guests to do.
You can always bring in professionals for some extra help keeping the kids occupied. A range of entertainment is available for hire-from magicians and clowns to jump castles and face painters. Ask friends for advice, read reviews online before booking, and budget for tips for the entertainers.
If you're trying to keep costs low, food is an easy place to save. Plan the party in between meal times and stick to cake and ice cream and a few light snacks. Finger foods work best (see p. 34 for a list of healthy, kid-friendly party snacks).
Step 4: Party Time
When guests arrive, have a sit-down activity ready for the kids to work on while they wait for the rest of the group. Coloring sheets or simple crafts at a table work to keep them occupied before the games begin.
Allow the first 15-20 minutes of the party for kids to work on this project while they greet each other.
Once all the guests have arrived, start your planned games and activities. If one child acts disinterested or refuses to take part, that's okay, let them sit one out. If none of the kids want to play the game, cut it short and move onto a different activity.
If the kids get a little too rambunctious, regain the group's focus by sitting down in a circle with them.
If all else fails, try dancing or games with a parachute - an activity that kids love and also helps get the energy out. Above all, remember to keep your cool and have patience. These are kids, after all.
Reserve the last 30 minutes of the party for snacks and cake. If you're going to open presents at the party, experts advise waiting until the end to do so.
If you're giving out goody bags for guests, hand them to the children as they leave the party. Make sure to have a few extras in case you have guests who forgot to RSVP, or who brought siblings.
Step 5: Send Thank-Yous
According to formal etiquette, a thank you card is not required if your child opens the gift in front of the giver and thanks them for it in person. However, writing thank you notes is still a good idea, as it helps kids practice an "attitude of gratitude," etiquette experts say.
Thank you cards should mention the specific item the child was given and a sentence or two about how the gift was enjoyed. If children are too young to write the notes themselves, ask them draw a picture on the card or sign their name or initials. That way they can still reflect on what they were given and practice thankfulness.

NEW YORK - Some books sell because Oprah Winfrey wants you to buy them. Others get help from a major prize, a controversy, a movie tie-in, a famous author or an especially clever marketing campaign.
And some, such as Irene Nemirovsky's "Suite Francaise," sell because they're great books.
Born in 1903, Nemirovsky was a Ukrainian Jew who emigrated to Paris as a young woman.
She was arrested in 1942 during the Nazi occupation of France and soon died at Auschwitz, where her husband, Michael Epstein, was later killed.
The author of several previous works, Nemirovsky had been discretely working on a five-part novel before her arrest.
The first two sections, fictionalized accounts of the war, were discovered in the 1990s by her daughter, Denise Epstein, and published in France to great acclaim in 2004. The book was again praised highly when the English edition came out in the United States last spring.
Countless books receive raves and nothing more, especially works in translation. But "Suite Francaise" has become an old-fashioned success story, proof that for all the troubles of a slow market and busy public, word of mouth and critical acclaim can be all the attention a book requires.
"Every once in a while, our business gets great sales for great books, and that makes it worth coming in every day," says Elaine Petrocelli, co-owner of Book Passage, which has two stores in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"I knew it had a lot of the right elements behind it, but it succeeded beyond my wildest imagination," says Barnes & Noble Inc. fiction buyer Sessalee Hensley. "It's a great word of mouth book. I think people have read it, recognized the genius of it and passed it on to others."
According to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks about 70 percent of industry sales, "Suite Francaise" has sold 160,000 copies and isn't slowing down. Nearly a year after publication, it is averaging a remarkable 3,000 sales a week, keeping pace with such commercial hits as Diane Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale" and Stephen King's "Lisey's Story."
A paperback edition, scheduled for the spring, will have a first printing of 200,000.
"Suite Francaise" has been compared to Anne Frank's diary as a classic Holocaust story, told in real time.

Smart purchase for any painter
By Nikki
from Brooklyn, NY
These knives have a great shape for the dual uses of painting and mixing large amount of paint. Great for scooping paint out of jars. They also clean easily and have a comfortable grip.
love these
By syfygeek
from NH
i like the small Liquitex knives better than the Italian ones.they last longer, have better shape and are metal through and through. my Italian ones need replacing too often as they start peeling off metal after a month or 2 of intense use.
Really nice
By Sandman
from Georgia
Like the size of the large knives. The set is really nice and makes it a really good value. Also like the large #18. Has solid blade and nice grip. Covers a lot of area.

Great Product!
By Mary Ellen
from Reno, NV
We loved using these in group activities! Easier to clean than the plastic ones, and much more durable. Handles are easy to hold, and they look professional too! Thank you!!
Size 1 Small is 2-1/4" long - FYI (For me, that's a medium)
By JK
from Philly
I bought a dozen of these for a class I plan to teach. I knew I was taking a gamble on the size, since the length of the size 1 small is not listed. The edges are nearly as smooth as the competitor and although the blade surface isn't the same mirror finish, it's very smooth. The blade is not welded to the shaft - it's all one piece. The one immediate negative that I see is that these are not nearly as flexible as the Loew-Cornell J-1 that I was hoping to duplicate at a cheaper price. And it's an inch longer. These may work for students (hopefully!) and they will make a nice alternative to using my better knives to pry up the staples holding down my watercolors. Who knows, I may learn to paint with a stiffer knife, but for me half the fun of knife painting is that sensation of the blade bouncing off the canvas.
Good for the price
By Paint nerd.
from Baton Rouge, LA
Good, durable knives for the cost. Won't rust. Oils work well with them too. They're a tad sharp around the edges, especially the larger ones. Flexible. Good for scraping the canvas, panel, etc.
My favorite Knives!
By Claira Jean
from Edinboro, PA
These knives are great- I tend to be pretty hard on palette knives, and these little babies hold up to the beating I give them! I have a pile of knives from this brand, and despite ordering new ones every season or so, my old ones hold up as well! Super cheap, but well made and comfortable to handle.

Replacement painting knives fine; thanks Liquitex!
By Cathy
from NE Georgia
My earlier review complained that the handles of the painting knives I bought had a finish that smeared when wet -- leaving some navy blue on paper towels used to dry them after I washed the blades, and navy blue on my hands too. I emailed Liquitex to tell them about this, and they are looking into it. They sent me replacements; the handles on the new ones are fine. No smears! So if you get any with handles that smear when wet, do return them and ask for an exchange. They're not all like that.

Zoya Matte Velvet Collection ($6.00 each) consists of three matte-shimmer polishes. What's nifty about these is that they look matte, but there is still a healthy dose of shimmer in it, so while it has that flat look, the shimmer adds depth and makes them more interesting. Keep in mind that matte-based polishes have a lot shorter wear time, particularly because a lot of top coats add shine/glossiness (which defeats the purpose of matte). Without a base or top coat, you'll get chips pretty quickly. (Of the three nails I did, Loredana is half gone, while the other two show minor tip wear, and it's been about 12 hours.) But, but… there is a benefit to these… they dry incredibly fast. Like insanely quickly. No quick-drying top coat required, these babies dry down completely within a few minutes (so work quickly).Read Full Review
