About Me Avid Cook
Bag is way too small to be practical- I could only put half a head of leaf lettuce in it- and it doesn't really keep lettuce crisp any better than my usual routine of wrapping in a layer of paper towel and putting back in the plastic bag I brought it home in. Also, bulky for its size and awkward to clean
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Celebrity Feud Alert: Anthony Bourdain Calls Paula Deen the Most Dangerous Person to America
Category: Entertainment
/ Aug 18, 2011 2:46PM EDT
We're not sure if Anthony Bourdain has been eating the infamous happy pizza again, but something is definitely up and it's not a soufflé. Bourdain, the globe-trotting host of No Reservations and author of Kitchen Confidential, has a legitimate beef with American cook, cooking show host, restaurateur, author, actress, and Emmy award-winning television personality, Paula Deen. Wait, what? Paula Deen? Yes, that's right, Paula Deen. Not one to pull punches, and known for his propensity to cuss when he feels like it on his super-hip TV show, Bourdain recently took a roller to the dough Soup Nazi-style when he told TV Guide in a recent interview that Paula was quote, "the worst, most dangerous person to America." Huh? Apparently, quite familiar with Deen's usual repertoire which includes healthy doses of butter, grease, and a calorie count that rivals the Cheesecake Factory, Bourdain is fed up and was not afraid to say it. In fact, he went on to say quote, "She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations, and she's proud of the fact that her food is blanking bad for you." And then he said quote, "I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us. Plus, her food sucks." Whoa, in this case Anthony Bourdain is really not joking because he also said quote, "Does she even cook anymore? To her credit, she never said she was good at it. I feel bad that she still feels compelled to cook." Now those are some fightin' words and I can only imagine how blanking angry Paula Deen must be right now. Although, she is super cute and probably just as bubbly and easygoing in real life as she is on her show, so maybe her flambé isn't as flaming hot has mine would be right about now. As of yet, no word from the Deen camp, so this feud is officially still cookin'.

Kendall Stephens was looking ahead to the Beefhouse dinner waiting on the team bus. A.J. Hammons was excited for a team movie on the ride home, a reward for each road win.
To the victors go the spoils. After Purdue pulled out a 66-58 victory over Illinois, it has plenty to enjoy.
"It's huge for us," Purdue coach Matt Painter said after the win.
It was one of those games that the Boilermakers had to have. In the brutally tough Big Ten conference, any road win is important. But the way Purdue pulled it out makes the feeling even sweeter.
The Boilermakers won the game playing from behind through most of the second half, then held on with key stops, smart possessions and clutch free throws. This hasn't exactly been commonplace for the young Purdue team.
"It's a great feeling," sophomore point guard Ronnie Johnson said. "Everyone showed up to play today. We just need games like that—everyone showing up, making shots. We're looking like a family out there."
It was Johnson's three-pointer that propelled Purdue ahead, 54-52, with five minutes remaining. On the next possession, freshman guard Kendall Stephens drilled a three from far beyond the arc. The Boilermakers would never look back.
"I thought that was the dagger in the game," Johnson said. "Those were big shots."
With the lead still intact, the Boilermakers overcame their greatest struggle of the season, free throw shooting. They didn't miss one from the charity stripe while working to hold the lead.
"For our guys to grind it out and make some free throws at the end, hopefully that gives us some confidence," Painter said.
A.J. Hammons led all scorers with 17 points, while Ronnie Johnson provided 13 and Terone Johnson added 10. The Boilermakers shot a clean 41.9 percent from the field, hitting 13 of 27 in the second half.
The statistic which stood out to Painter after the win was how Purdue dominated the boards. The Boilermakers had 14 more rebounds than the Fighting Illini, including eight more on offense. In addition, they scored 17 second-chance points.
"That was the game," Painter said.
Meanwhile, Illinois coach John Groce didn't mix any words about the rebounding margin.
"They were tougher than us and they threw us around like a bunch of rag dolls," Groce said.
Illinois closed the first half on a 16-2 run, then opened up a six-point lead in the opening minute of the second half. Later on, A.J. Hammons' otherwise stellar performance took a brief hiatus when he picked up three fouls in a minute's span.
There are the factors that have doomed this Purdue team in losses from the past. On Wednesday night, the Boilermakers overcame it all.
"Everybody brought intensity, we stayed composed when they took the lead at halftime," Johnson said. "We just kept fighting and getting defensive stops."
The Boilermakers have much to enjoy on their victorious ride home from Champaign.

Chargers announce hiring of ex-USC LB coach
Joe Barry is officially a member of the San Diego Chargers' coaching staff, or at least as close to it as possible.
The Chargers announced on their website that Barry has agreed to terms to become the team's linebackers coach, the same position he held at USC the past two seasons.
Word of Barry's move first circulated Friday. His departure creates a second opening on the Trojans' staff, the other being for a secondary coach.
USC begins spring practice March 6.

Skip to comments.Framing the danger of guns as a public health risk will change the debate over gun control
Posted on 05/05/2014 8:19:37 AM PDT by rktman
Messaging matters in every political issue. On the issue of guns and violence, its importance is measured in lives saved or lives lost. The last year has shown conclusively that from a messaging perspective, progressives are losing the gun debate. B y reframing the debate, it is possible to choose a winning message and make Americans safer.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
How about an active link:
So message it as a public health issue without addressing the positive effects on crime with armed citizenry? NAH! Let's just cherry pick our statistics. The idiot, drooling masses don't need to know the truth.
The message hasn't changed since 1968.
With regard to Obamacare, we are told "it's law of the land... stop trying to repeal it".
With Climate Change, we are told "it's settled science"... stop denying it.
But, despite multiple Supreme Court rulings, multiple "laws of the land", liberals never give up trying to eliminate firearm rights.
.....Which will all FAIL.
Make everything on the Liberal wish list a matter of "public health risk."
That way they can do anything they want and nobody can stop them because if you try you want to endanger the public health!
True, but at least they have a professionally done guide on how best to frame their message, thereby confusing low/no info voters without "offending" gun owners.
No it won't.
It's been tried for over a decade, and it hasn't worked yet!
Remember Joycelyn Elders' "safer bullets?"
The danger of gun confiscation is even a greater health risk.
And what does gun rights or gun safety have to do with getting our economy back and getting people employed, Danny Franklin?
This idea is a retread.
Correct! The Bill of Rights are inalienable.
As usual with these liberal meme pieces the first sentence is wrong.
Advocates for gun violence prevention win the logical debate
Hasn't this been tried before? When it was tried before wasn't it shown that statistics were manipulated to present conclusions that did not stand up under scrutiny?
The only "risk" to health, is NOT carrying, or, challenging someone who is.
Correct. And here is an important part of the proof/reasons why:
Yup, and this assclown is still using the "xx times more likely to injured with a gun in the house" crap. What an idiot.
"a comforting story progressives tell ourselves to avoid facing the fact that the country trusts the NRA more than us on this issue. "
That is because your "solution" is always the same; gradually disarm law-abiding, private citizens until only criminals and the iron-fisted government have guns.
Like they themselves, it's a loser.
Also, I'm sure once they have the APA completely on board, they'll require mental health evals from all gun owners, and they'll find that those who have conservative Christian views will be determined mentally ill.
bo-care's emphasis is on "Preventative Medicine"
So carrying a gun is a positive health care measure.
In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1963 a radical left wing communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.
On June 5, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan, a psycho islamo killer shot and assassinated Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy. The shooting of Robert Kennedy took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968.
In 1975 a two wing radical Democrats fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States in separate acts of mental illness.
In 1981 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.
In 1984 James Huberty a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherril a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.
In March 1991, a lefty psycho, John Hinckley, now 58, fired a hail of bullets at the late president in March 1981, in Washington, seriously wounding him. Three others were badly hurt including press secretary James Brady, now 73.
In 1991 George Hennard a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 23 people in a Lubys cafeteria.
In 1995 James Daniel Simpson a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.
In 1999 Larry Asbrook a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 8 people at a church service.
In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.
In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech .
On February 12, 2010, Amy Bishop a left wing psycho professor went postal with her fellow professors. When she had finished, six people had been shot, three of them fatally. Bishop had killed her brother with a shotgun over 20 years ago and the liberal police chief in her home town dismissed the case. Amy is still in prison and loves Obama.
March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security. A right-wing extremist, media asked? (A registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther.)
In 2011 a mentally ill, registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The pot smoking Loughner killed 6 and wounded 18 in another liberal shooting tragedy.
In 2011 another mentally ill and registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a Colorado movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.
On September 16 2013, Aaron Alexis another pyscho Democrat killer slaughtered 12 innocents at the US Navy Yard. Alexis before his slaughter of innocents Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis had complained his brain had been targeted by low-frequency waves weeks before the slaughter.
12/14/2013 Karl Pierson entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Co. armed with a shotgun with intent to kill one of his teachers. He shot Claire Davis, a senior, @Arapahoe High in the head. Yes, Pierson is/was another mentally ill liberal punk.
April 2014 Mohammed Whitaker arraigned on 18 felony charges in series of highway shootings in Kansas. Mohammed appears to be another SOB, aka Son Of Obama..
We could go on, but you get the point, even if the media and the anti gun pyschos in Congress do not.
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats, AKA, the mentally ill having guns or being around them.
No NRA members, No Tea Party members, or No Republican conservatives are/were involved.
Political correctness and leftist policies are to blame in these mass shootings:
If Seung-Hui Cho had been institutionalized for mental illness, 32 people would still be alive at Virginia Tech.
If Jared Loughner had been institutionalized, 6 would be alive in Tucson.
If James Holmes had been institutionalized, 12 lives spared in Aurora, CO.
If Adam Lanza had been institutionalized, 26 would still live in Newtown, CT.
If Nidal Hasan had been properly reported, investigated, and discharged from the Army, and institutionalized, 13 would not have died at Ft. Hood.
If we really want to improve safety, keep criminals in jail, terrorists out of the U.S., and people who are mentally ill/deranged in institutions.
Again, It should be illegal for any Democrats to own guns or be around them.
Used to be that I thought that the crap science that the Public Health journals would be allowed to be published, and the crap research that the CDC and the NIH would fund, were examples of how political preconceptions could color the perceptions of even the most conscientious.
That was before I learned about the political corruption that lead to the public health community's adoption of the low-fat, high-carb, added sugar and industrial seed oil processed food diet as the new standard for a "healthy" diet.
And realized that the growing health crisis of the last 40 years, with it's dramatic rise in rates of obesity, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and the other "diseases of civilization" is not an accident, it's a direct result of the diet that our public health professionals have been trying to convince is is "healthy".
Tens of millions dead, hundreds of millions doomed to lives of chronic misery, because the public health community allowed itself to be manipulated by industrial interests into adopting exactly the wrong answer, within their area of expertise.
And I'm supposed to listen to them on something about which they have no expertise?
I thoroughly disagree that "America is finished".
This "we are the unstoppable wave of the future!" cr@p began with the Bolshies in 1917. The USSR flourished in its evil way, then it collapsed. Sure, Putin wants to rebuild it & then some, but "in order for evil to triumph, it is only necessary that good men do nothing".
Same here in America. The people who love it are arming themselves to the teeth & Bunkersville AZ is only the beginning. It's far from over.
It helps if the men first become good by calling and relying again upon the Lord. Otherwise we are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Heaven allows for men to get into messes, hoping they will get the hint. At the risk of sounding flippant, we need more OMG's.
If we call upon the Lord and rely upon the Lord, I guarantee from personal experience we will have many, many occasions to say, "Thank you, Lord!"
If we call upon the Lord and rely upon the Lord, I guarantee from personal experience we will have many, many occasions to say, "Thank you, Lord!"
And you're just bearing witness to the promises that are already documented in the bible. Nobody has to be anything more special than a human being to take advantage of the promises. Let their sins be as deep as a hole dug to China and God will still be of aid once called upon.
The author says that a gun in a household is twelve times as likely to be used on a household member as an intruder.
Leaving aside the definition of "used" (shot, fired at, threatened by), I might point out that women are more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than by anyone else.
That doesn't mean that I, personally, or any woman in particular, is more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than by a stranger. If a woman has an excellent marriage but lives or works in a dangerous environment, she is more likely to be killed by someone other than her husband.
And it certainly doesn't mean that women should forego marriage or intimate relationships, as a matter of public health. (Non-marital sexual relationships have higher rates of violence and murder.)
It means a woman should choose her partner carefully, and conduct herself with care. If she always seems to pick bad and dangerous men, maybe she SHOULD forego relationships.
Something similar holds with guns. If someone in the household is short-tempered, impulsive, suicidal, if there is a history of domestic violence, MAYBE the household should be without guns. On the other hand, if someone in the household needs protection from someone who is violent, maybe that person should have a gun.
I would rather make that call for myself, than have the government, or a collection of academics, or a public relations person/lobbyist like Mr./Ms. Franklin make it for me.
For the husband, or for the firearms.
But, but, how can this be when there are so many more guns in society? Similar to, how can crime be dropping when so many more people are in prison.
Ya gotta love leftist thinking.
Forgetting that an intruder needn't be shot to be helped on his way out of the premises by the sight of a gun; also that hunting uses aren't counted (the gun might shoot far more deer and game than people and they wouldn't care).
Come to think of it, don't more auto accidents harm the people in the auto than people outside the auto? Why not ban automobiles?
But doesn't the "in the house" argument hold true for any injur? After all we spend more time in our homes than elsewhere. So change the item and I bet you could write,
"xx times more likely to injured with a power tool in the house
"xx times more likely to injured with a kitchen knife in the house
"xx times more likely to injured with a candle in the house
"xx times more likely to injured with a baseball bat in the house
"xx times more likely to injured with a dipwad reporter in the house
Summed up in one. Great post.
If gov. was concerned about "public health risks", they'd outlaw homoseuality.
"...Third, it would focus on successes, not failures. Since 1993, the rate of gun homicides has dropped by a third while the number of nonfatal gun crimes has dropped by 69 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. On every metric that matters, we are safer from guns today than we were 20 years ago...."
But wait! Since 1993 the number of firearms owned by Americans has skyrocketed! During the Clinton (1993-2001) and Obama, we have had year after year of increased gun sales. 1993 to the present has seen a rapid rise in the number of firearms, and yet according to the "gun grabbers" gun violence has dropped.
How can this be? It is because good guys with guns are not the problem, it is criminals with guns that are the problem and criminals don't obey old or new gun control laws.
I'm still looking to see how many firearms were sold in the US between '93 and 2011 so I can make a chart for future use when the NV legislature again convenes. The bloomin' idiots have vowed to return to push for more gun laws. Again. Just lining up ducks early.
The anti-gun people would say that cars have a valid use, transportation, and we have many laws and regulations to make them as safe as possible, and we accept the deaths because transportation is essential.
But guns have only one purpose, killing people or animals, and that is not essential. And why do we gun nuts fight so hard against common sense safety regulations, like trigger locks and background checks, and smart guns, and bullet limits?
George Zimmerman wold be in far worse health today if he had not been carrying on the night when he met St. Trayvon of the Skittles (SBUH).
Bump for later!
We also have a professionally done guide: It's called the SECOND AMENDMENT.
And the international statistics (over 200 million dead at the hands of their own governments) SHOULD BE all the evidence needed. If and when Americans are no longer intelligent enough to grasp the WHY of the Second Amendment, this place and all the freedoms from tyranny it once represented — will deserve to perish.
And it will!
If safety is the issue then the research prove that more guns equals less crime and more lives saved.
Now this business of focusing on success might be good advice in the absence of the track record of gun control in this country. The author bewails the progress gun freedom has made of late and then offers this:
Since 1993, the rate of gun homicides has dropped by a third while the number of nonfatal gun crimes has dropped by 69 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. On every metric that matters, we are safer from guns today than we were 20 years ago.
Correct, we are. And yet there are more of them about and gun control is losing in the polls and the legislative houses. What to make of that? Why, frame it as a record of success for gun control! Sorry, bud, nobody's buying.
The anti-gunners have been trying this for about 15 years now and it is going nowhere. But they still keep trying. They will try any gimmick they can think of. Still the same base sides with them. However the same base sides with the other side. One difference, the other side is truthful!

AT Offline: David Stark
April Guest: David Stark AT Offline: The NY Design Meetup Attendance: 160+ Last week, we "Metup" with David Stark — event designer, event producer and the author of four books — the newest David Stark Design will be available on April 27. Jump below for the transcript and all the images integrated from David's presentation and interaction with Maxwell and the audience… MGR: Thank you to everyone for making this the largest Apartment Therapy Offline gathering yet! It was also a great month for the Apartment Therapy websites, as we reached 4.2 million unique readers. So, thank you everyone.
DAVID STARKMGR: I'm thrilled to be welcoming David Stark to this month's Meetup. This is a first for AT Offline, as David represents our first designer who focuses primarily on event planning. His very successful full service event design, planning and production company — David Stark Design & Production — is based in Brooklyn. He has created large and small events, everything from intimate 10-person dinner parties to large scale events for non-profits like the Robin Hood Foundation, as well as celebrity-studded events such as Beyonce and Jay-Z's wedding. He has appeared on the Today Show, Martha Stewart, and CBS' The Early Show, to name a few. David has also written four books, the latest of which comes out this month — April 27. It is a monograph, which is a format that is usually reserved for artists. But as you'll see in David's slides, that is indeed what he is. Please welcome, David Stark. MGR: Welcome! Great to have you here. So I'd like to start by asking you about your beginnings and how you got to where you are now. I see that you attended both RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) and SVA (School of Visual Arts) and trained as a painter. So how did you go from that training to running a full-service production company? DS: Thanks for having me this month, and you are correct in noting that my path has not been a linear one. You can't go to school for what I do — although I can imagine they may start developing classes to train creative types in this line of work. I majored in painting in school and received both my BFA and MFA. But almost immediately following graduation, I decided something I already knew — that I didn't like painting. I didn't like being in the studio by myself — and in fact, I tried to avoid it as much as possible. I would often call a string of people while I was working on a piece so I would feel like I was connected to others. I knew I needed this in my work — and that I wouldn't get it from painting. Recognizing that I liked the group-work experience, I got a chance to work with flowers for event design, and I took it. I was working various events — weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. — and I found it to be a great outlet for me. It was creative, completed in a group atmosphere, and once it was done, you would move on to the next event. The work cycle was a lot quicker than with painting. MGR: So why do you think you were drawn to flowers in particular? DS: Flowers are simply cool and fun. You don't need to draw deep meaning from your work with flowers, unlike painting, where you feel your work must have a deep, emotionally-charged meaning. MGR: What was your artwork like? DS: I did a lot of self-portrait work. I created a series of medicine cabinets, and I always represented myself by the Q-Tip! Read into that what you will. MGR: So, you found yourself working in flowers, and you enjoyed it. I often talk about the power of working in NYC with our monthly visitors — how it can be a tough place, but it also provides fabulous networking opportunities. One thing can quickly lead to another. So, how did that happen for you? DS: I was a partner in another business before this one. It was great, but we eventually decided to part ways and go out on our own. Thus, the business was born. MGR: How did you gain experience in production and planning? DS: Well, it was a lot of trial by fire. There is no designer in the world that doesn't deal with the business end of their work, and often times, you just learn as you go. I learned to pay attention to logistics — for example, I always measure elevator doors so we know what our maximum size requirements are (I learned that the hard way). My ideas go from the creative end — the design of the flower arrangement, for example — to the logistical end — how we are going to logistically implement the ideas. Ideas have changed a lot over the years. Event planning has morphed from the tulips-in-a-bowl centerpiece scenario to a more logistically-driven production. An event's cause is particularly important in the work I do these days — an event can be theatrical and unique, while also offering a glimpse into an organization from a 3D perspective. That link is extremely important in the work we do. MGR: How do you develop new ideas? Do you come up with an idea and immediately present it to a client? Do you play off the client's interests? What is that exchange like? DS: It's hard to sell some of the wackier ideas to clients. Often times I temper initial ideas and then things unfold as we plan the event. It's easier to show this in the slides — let's take a look:
David Stark & Robin Hood Foundation Project
DS: We organized the annual Gala for the Robin Hood Foundation at the Javitz center several years ago. For those of you who aren't familiar with the foundation, it is an NYC-based non-profit which does as its name implies — takes from the rich and gives to the poor. This event is a great example of having the event installations become a marketing extension of what the organization is about. I was thinking a lot about recycling at the time of this event. I had attended a "green" fashion event which was a pretty lame interpretation of sustainable design, right down to the green lightbulbs that they used in some of the fixtures (Iiterally). I feel strongly about this concept, however, and knew we could interpret it in a more creative way. We received donations from many companies and decided to incorporate those donations as part of the event design. In all of these images that you see, you should note that there was no nailing, screwing, etc. of any of these installations. They are designed to go straight from the event to those whom they were originally intended for. During this process, we learned a lot about what is needed, and realized that it isn't always what you expect. For example, we received a lot of clothing, shoes, and food, which we expected. However, we also learned that there is a great need for alarm clocks — if you need to get up and go to an interview, for a job that you really need, you need to make sure you have a way of getting out of bed. So, we designed the installations based on two principles: the donations that we received, as well as the four pillars of the Robin Hood Foundation's philosophical approach: early childhood, education, jobs and economic security, and survival. In this image, you see a house made of blankets, donated by Ralph Lauren:
This survival sign is made out of 1st aid kits:
We received a very generous donation of shoes and decided to create this "tornado of shoes" installation. We tied each show to fishing wire, and then lifted it up to make the shape of a tornado. Afterwards, we simply snipped each shoe off the wire and they were ready for donation:
These pencils were donated directly to students:
This large chair was made of hundreds of bottles of water:
This is one I am particularly proud of. We received computers that were intended to be donated to schools after the event. We used them as centerpieces, and it turned out quite well. Many people now ask for this centerpiece at other events (weddings, etc.):
David Stark & West Elm
DS: This next project is the West Elm store at Broadway and 62nd street in Manhattan. I was speaking with someone who told me that store development results in a lot of waste. I worked with West Elm to create temporary installations using the waste from the store build-out. The lamp you see in the window is made from recycled cardboard:
This indoor shot shows the "topiary" we created out of 7,000 shredded catalogs:
These cacti are created from recycled boxes:
MGR: Do you ever do permanent installations? DS: Not really. My only permanent work has been the books, as well as a line of products for West Elm, which was a new venture for us which is working out very well. We did this series of clocks for the store, which was a lot of fun. Again, they are made from material excess from the store build-out. Clock hands can be purchased online for really cheap ($1.29 for hands) and then we used them with various materials. You can see a roll-of-tape clock on the wall, as well as others.
This chair is another installation for the store, made of shredded catalogs.
We used a lot of cardboard, since there was a lot left over from the build-out. This is a lemonade pitcher and glass:
I also like to create whimsical, or ridiculous (to some), objects. Here is an image of a box of tissues that we created:
Another example of this is this pipe, inspired by the (Rene) Magritte (artist) pipe series.
Another piece inspired by an artist is this clock installation. It is inspired by the piece "Untitled (Perfect Lovers)" by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. I'm very inspired by his work, so this is an homage to that piece — in his installation, he placed two clocks side-by-side and synched them up perfectly. Slowly, they start to get out of sync, which I find quite beautiful and romantic:
Maine Wedding
DS: This next project is a wedding that we did in Maine. Again, the theme of reuse was introduced. On the property, there were a lot of cut trees, which were to be used for a new structure on the property:
We decided to repurpose them as a backdrop for the band as they played during the reception:
MGR: Did you create everything for this event? DS: Yes, we did. We try to tie everything together, as you'll see in the tablescape. We used other natural materials from this very rustic setting to pull together the tables, menus, initial invitations, etc.
David Stark & Israel Museum
DS: This next project was for the Israel Museum. The theme was "The Printed Word." In this installation, we used newspapers as the raw material — something that is in abundance from a recycling standpoint. We created 3D letters that represented the museum's logo:
MGR: Do people ever complain about the rawness of the materials? DS: At one time, there was a great amount of opulence at events. For example, I remember going to an event where thousands of orchids were installed on the ceiling. You see something like that and you are immediately struck by the cost of an installation like that. People still have events like this, but the use of raw materials is becoming more accepted, especially when they are transformed into something visually stunning and different from their original form. I am very interested in making the every day important. "Shamanism" is very important to me. I've found that creating an event that relates directly to a non-profit's mission, for example, really resonates with people. MGR: The work that you do is also an incredible amount of work. But you are teaching people that materials can be transformed into something spectacular. DS: The work is involved, but I learned a long time ago to surround myself with good people. And we do have an incredible team of people. They help to make something that is quite complicated look easy.
David Stark & Target
DS: This project is the pop-up Target store that we did on 42nd street and 6th avenue in Manhattan. We combined live flowers with projections of flowers throughout the store. We also did a lot of large and small scale stuff — playing with scale throughout, a la Alice in Wonderland:
Overall, we used 12,000 flowering plants, all of which went to the New York Restoration Project afterwards and were planted throughout all five boroughs:

Dream Big & Dare To Fail - Col Norman Vaughan
Jäger Träumen Kennels
Coffee trained me to recognize her ability to be my right hand. From bringing me my cinch under my horse, stacking wood, getting my hammer, ropes, putting things in a bucket and then bringing me the bucket...list goes on. Most of what she does, she had taken the initiative (without me training her) to do so. JT's Cuppa Java (from the first litter) is no exception. At 3 months old, she watched Coffee bring me a rope and receive a treat. She watched Coffee bring me a hammer and receive a treat. Next thing I knew Cuppa was sitting beside me with a piece of baling twine in her mouth....she knew she had to "work" to get a treat and offered up services that I didn't know she could do. On the 2nd litter born, Cuppa was awarded a new name "Sargent Cuppa". Cuppa took the initiative and taught the puppies not to climb out of the nursery. When the pups started jumping all over me, Cuppa took the initiative (after I had pushed them off) to keep them off of me while I was working individual pups. (both incidences caught on video) Needless to say, these dogs are raised to think their way through situations and take the initiative through thoughtful consideration. Multi-Disciplined GSP's!!! Hunt, track, service work, equine/canine teams, agility, dock diving....what can't they do?

Good mystery movies to watch?
I'd like to get some good mystery movie recommendations from the 80s on. It's OK if they veer toward the thriller, like Michael Clayton, ridiculous like Ford Fairlaine, noirish like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, or are a more standard outing with a strong, interesting, well developed detective lead like Zero Effect. Drawing room mysteries totally A-OK too. Super bonus points if I can stream them now on Hulu plus or Netflix.

Wii U
- NCAA Football 2014
- Madden 25
- Battlefield 4
- Fuse
Franchises that will not be coming to the Wii U:
- Need for Speed
- Dragon Age
- Battlefield
- Medal of Honor (after the last one this one might be a gift after that last game)
- Final Fantasy XV (lack of Luminous engine)
- Metal Gear Solid V
- Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes
You're going to tell me that all of those are trash!?
I understand that the current thought is to bash things that are not going you way but to sit here and say good riddance that you're not getting ANY of those franchises is the opposite of what one should be saying.
How exactly do you cheer for this?

Final Fantasy 15 might not be trash... but considering SE's record lately, I'm not getting my hopes up.
And, yes, the rest of those games range from trash to meh.

I keep hearing that they are trash with no reasoning to back it up. I hear that they are milked from the same people waiting for Super Plumber 3D that jumps on the same goombas...am I missing something?

63. Witcher 3
And while you might sit here and say that it's not fair that some of those games are on the list because they started development before the Wii U was officially revealed/launched, then you can't include:
1. Mass Effect 3
2. Darksiders II
3. Assassin's Creed III
4. NFS: Most Wanted
5. Tekken Tag Tournament
6. Skylanders Giants
7. Call of Duty Black Ops 2
8. Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
10. Madden 13
11. Wipeout 3
As being part of the Wii U library, can't have it both ways as "those games don't count because the Wii U wasn't out/just came out" as those games game it VERY VERY close or after the launch of the Wii U.
But then again all of those games are trash by the standards of this board.

They Love a Parade, the Tramping of Feet, a Guaranteed Seat
But Canonsburg, Pa., Felt It Had to Put a Stop to the Ropes, Chains and Padlocks
CANONSBURG, Pa.—It may be mid-October, but here in this quaint Pennsylvania village it's never too soon to be thinking about the Fourth of July.
For years, townspeople have maneuvered and schemed to reserve good seats at the annual Fourth of July parade. It started with people placing chairs along the route a few days before the event. But as their competitive spirits took over, they tried to get an earlier and earlier jump, sometimes positioning furniture weeks in advance. In the past few years, they even padlocked seats to available parking meters.
After months of debate, officials voted last week that folks can no longer anchor their chairs—with rope, chains, padlocks, caution tape or any other device, to utility poles, trees, or even to other chairs on a 1.5-mile stretch of downtown sidewalk for the Fourth of July parade. In addition, the practice of stationing chairs three weeks before the parade is no longer permitted. Advance seating will be limited to 48 hours. Scofflaw seats will be seized by members of the Canonsburg public works and police departments and towed to the town garage.
The new chair policy reversed a tougher version approved by the council this past summer to limit parade chair placement to 6 a.m. on July 4. That decision prompted a huge backlash, a Save the Canonsburg Parade Chairs Facebook FB -1.63 % group and a petition drive on Change.org that generated more than 240 signatures urging the council to reconsider.
Waiting until parade morning, people say, would create a predawn scramble for prime positions and could trip up runners in the annual Whiskey Rebellion Race, commemorating the town's role in the rebellion of 1791 to 1794, when locals tarred and feathered government workers who were trying to collect taxes on their spirits.
"You think that there are problems now, wait till the people start fighting to get their spot on the morning of the parade," wrote one resident.
Other communities have wrestled with proper parade protocol. Arlington Heights, Va., asks citizens to reserve space the night before parades, saying past practices of using tarps, blankets and chairs to secure a viewing spot many days in advance can damage grass and bother homeowners who want to water, mow lawns or put their garbage on the curb. In Catonsville, Md., chairs appearing well before parades have been smashed by vandals. In Latrobe, Pa., concern about people tripping over ropes stretched between signposts prompted a ban on chairs, blankets and ropes until Independence Day eve.
Chairs have not always been so controversial in Canonsburg, a town of 8,800 in southwestern Pennsylvania, which calls itself America's Small Town Music Capital because native sons Perry Como, Bobby Vinton and the Four Coins have among them produced 190 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 music charts.
As in countless other communities, residents would bring a lawn chair to watch the parade. Chairs first appeared the day of the parade, then the day before, then a week before. As the parade grew in popularity, drawing between 40,000 to 60,000 a year, residents began placing chairs earlier to make sure they got their usual seat for themselves as well as returning children and grandchildren. "People would sit in the same spot, just like they do in church," said Mary Maslanik, a second-grade teacher who also heads the Fourth of July Celebration Committee.
Rather than discourage the chairs, the community began incorporating them into the celebration, holding community musical-chairs games and chair races, with teams racing office chairs on casters down the street. Decorations were encouraged. A Parade of Chairs competition awarded trophies to the most original and patriotic chairs. A chair disguised as a barbecue grill and manned by a cardboard cutout of the late Mr. Como cooking hot dogs took first place this year for the most original.
"If people were going to put them out, we wanted to make sure they looked nice," said Nadeen Steffey, former manager of the nonprofit civic Main Street organization, who began the contest three years ago and said it earned Canonsburg a "Townie Award" for promotion and marketing.
The real problem, said John Moeller, who owns a downtown shop called John's Trading Post, began when people started tying chairs together or chaining them to parking meters. Elderly residents who were dropped off curbside had to climb over the ropes or take a detour halfway around the block. "If people were more considerate, it wouldn't have gotten out of hand," he said. He would cut the ropes to clear a path for customers. "I never took any chairs," he said. Apparently, though, some chairs were removed or stolen, prompting a warning on the borough website that police would not be "responsible for ensuring your space—or keeping an eye on your chair."
This year the crowd was expected to swell even more for the town's 50th Fourth of July Parade, which had 150 entries and an appearance by local "American Idol" semifinalist Adam Brock.
Borough Manager Terry Hazlett said he spotted two chairs connected with 10 to 15 feet of yellow caution tape outside the bank on a Friday afternoon in June—several weeks before the parade. "When I came back to work Monday, there were chairs everywhere," he said. "People saw the first ones out and everyone ran and got their chairs out."
For the next two weeks, he said, the chairs effectively shut down the business district. Merchants complained. Shoppers complained. People in wheelchairs couldn't get through. During a storm, a string of a half dozen chairs tied together blew into the street. Fortunately, he said, no one was hit by a chair, but two people did trip over chairs that had been roped together, and they threatened to sue. Police said the linked chains would block EMS crews and firefighters.
"For the safety of all residents, something definitely had to happen," says Mayor David Rhome. He believes two-day advance placement is a suitable compromise.
Councilman Paul Sharkady doesn't agree. He opposes any pre-placement of chairs, saying it puts out of towners at a disadvantage. "Visitors do not have the opportunity to place chairs reserving space until the day of the parade, but by then there are no spaces left to claim," said Mr. Sharkady, who retired after 37 years as a policeman. He is also concerned that by officially permitting advance placement of the chairs, the borough opens itself to liability if people get hurt crossing over a chair or if their cars are damaged by windblown chairs.
The borough doesn't own the sidewalks. Officials believe property and chair owners are liable in case of chair-related damage.
Whether people abide by the law remains to be seen. Years ago, the former mayor issued an executive order banning the use of grills after 8 p.m. to minimize smoke and to crack down on illegal burning. Residents protested with after-hours illegal cookouts and threatened to bring their grills downtown to protest. The mayor rescinded his order.

Changes possible for PA's liquor privatization bill
Posted: 8:00 PM EDT Mar 19, 2013 Updated: 7:24 PM EDT Mar 20, 2013
Lawmakers in Harrisburg are hearing arguments about privatizing Pennsylvania's liquor stores.
State House members are considering amendments to a Republican privatization bill.
It appears the GOP-controlled House may approve the bill as early as Thursday.
The bill would give beer distributors the first crack at 1,200 wine and spirit licenses.
It would also phase out state liquor stores.
Meantime a Democratic bill to keep most of the state store system in place has failed.
As you may know, GOP Governor Tom Corbett is in favor of privatization to help fund public education.
