In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, the 13th Separate Company band had begun rehearsing for the first of a series of concerts which was to take place in Samuels Opera House on Sunday, March 9. Judging from the splendid work of these Jamestown musicians on the occasion of every appearance before the public, these concerts would afford an opportunity for the people of this city to hear some of the finest band music ever heard here. The band, which would consist of between 25 and 28 pieces for this concert, would be under the leadership of Prof. A.C. Bratt and this meant that wonderful results would be accomplished.
Returning to her home at 837 Prendergast Ave., Jamestown, Thursday afternoon, Dr. Emma L. Jordan was greeted by her brother, Judge H.A. Pierce of Los Angeles, Calif., who had found her door unlocked and had walked into the house. They had not seen each other in 24 years and Judge Pierce would spend a few days here, while on his way home from a journey around the world. In the past eight months he had traveled about 34,000 miles, visiting Japan, the Philippine Islands, China, Ceylon, India, Egypt, Palestine and many countries in Europe and showed little, if any, effects from the trip than he would were he much younger than the three score and 10 years to which he pled guilty.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, local police solved five recent automobile thefts and nipped three promising criminal careers in the bud with the arrest of three lads, aged 14, 15 and 16 years respectively, as the result of a stolen joyride. Police said the trio had confessed to the theft of five automobiles since the middle of January. The arrests and cleanup were brought about when the parents of one of the boys called police headquarters to report that their son had been away from home all night. Police were already investigating two automobile thefts and suspected there might be a connection between the boy's absence and the car thefts.
Several rooms in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Carlson, Ashville Bay, were damaged considerably Friday evening when a broken rear axle on a Jamestown-bound West Ridge Transportation Company motor bus snapped, sending a double wheel crashing into the dwelling some 500 feet from the lake shore highway. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson were playing cards with some friends when the wheel came hurtling through their dwelling with the din of a bomb. The wheel went through the wall, entering the bathroom where the plumbing fixtures were practically demolished. Plaster was torn from walls and ceilings in adjoining rooms as a result of the accident. The bus company estimated the damage to the house would not exceed $100.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, quick action by a young Corry man the previous afternoon possibly saved the life of his grandmother, Mrs. Violet Ferry, 83, as he carried her from their burning home to the safety of a neighbor's residence. Peter Parker, 21, the son of Mrs. Lilah Parker, carried Mrs. Ferry to safety when he discovered a fire in the kitchen of her home. The fire started in the kitchen over the stove, causing extensive loss to that area of the house and smoke damage to the rest of the two-story frame home. The firemen had to use smoke masks because of the thick smoke.
The flu-like respiratory illness which had resulted in absenteeism of nearly 10 percent in Jamestown schools had hit other schools in the area with even more intensity. Dr. Lyle D. Franzen, NYS district health officer, termed the influenza-type disease as reaching near epidemic proportions but said it was of a mild variety, lasting between three or four days and accompanied by aches and fever. Frewsburg and Panama Schools had been hardest hit by the illnesses with the number of absentees reaching 16 percent of the student population.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, Jamestown's Board of Public Utilities had agreed to supply water to two developments planned for West Ellicott but not to connect to any other customers there until receiving a signed contract with the town of Ellicott. It was explained that the PenNYline Group, Inc., planned to build a new Burger King restaurant adjacent to McDonalds' Restaurant on Fairmount Avenue in West Ellicott. Also, Westbury Development proposed to build 11 new homes behind Bethel Baptist Church. It was noted that the BPU had supplied water to most of West Ellicott for more than 50 years, with about 780 customers in the water district.
Gov. Mario Cuomo said the number of New Yorkers living in poverty declined by almost half a million in 1986, the last year statistics were available. Charles Ferraro, Chautauqua County Social Services commissioner, said the numbers seemed to be declining in Chautauqua County as well. Ferraro said the number of county residents on welfare had dropped steadily each month since a peak in March 1985.

Potty Talk
Ask the Coach
What is the etiquette for bathroom use in the middle of a trail race? ...
Illustration by Jeremy Collins
During trail marathons, I often need to use the restroom when there is no porta-potty within miles. Is there a way to control when the urge comes? And what is the etiquette for bathroom use in the middle of a trail race?
—Todd Falker, St Louis, MO
New racers often realize their pre-race consumption has worked against them after the gun goes off. While a fast marathoner can often get away with no bathroom breaks, slower runners and ultramarathoners aren't so lucky. It takes a good deal of experience and body awareness to eat and drink in such a way that you minimize bathroom stops in the middle of races.
Most runners have an unwarranted fear of dehydration. More athletes actually die from hyponatremia than do from dehydration. Shoot for consuming enough water and electrolytes to avoid both, while minimizing bathroom stops. Experiment during long runs. It's common for elite marathoners to finish a race about three-percent dehydrated; any more than three percent and you will see performance decrease.
As for #2 etiquette, it's best to ensure no one has to witness what you are doing, which means stepping far enough off the trail to be out of sight or hiding behind a tree. It also means practicing Leave No Trace principles, which state: "Deposit solid human waste in catholes dug six to eight inches deep at least 200 feet from water, camp and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished."
Unfortunately, this practice is not always followed on race day. "But courtesy remains paramount," says Bryon Powell of iRunFar.com. "Moving a rock or small log aside will create a small receptacle for your waste. After taking care of business, replace the object while being certain to fully cover all toilet paper so it doesn't blow away."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Triathlon today honored world championship medalists Patricia Walsh and Andre Kajlich as its 2012 USA Paratriathlon Athletes of the Year. The accolades were selected by the USA Triathlon Age Group Committee.
An honorable mention Athlete of the Year selection a year ago, Walsh (TRI-6, Austin, Texas) ended the 2012 season as the world's No. 1-ranked paratriathlete in the women's TRI-6 category, according to the International Triathlon Union. She won TRI-6 titles at the 2012 USA Paratriathlon National Championships and the PATCO Paratriathlon Championships before earning the bronze medal at the 2012 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships.
Also an honorable mention pick in 2011, Kajlich (TRI-1, Seattle, Wash.) is currently ranked No. 1 in the men's TRI-1 category, according to ITU. He was a runner-up finisher at USA Paratriathlon Nationals and the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships and captured gold at the 2012 PATCO Paratriathlon Championships. Additionally, Kajlich won the handcycle category at the 2012 Ironman World Championship and Ironman 70.3 World Championship.
"On behalf of USA Triathlon, I'd like to congratulate our USA Paratriathlon Athletes of the Year, Patricia Walsh and Andre Kajlich, as well as all of our inspirational paratriathletes for an amazing 2012 season," said Amanda Duke, USA Triathlon's Paratriathlon Program Manager. "We enjoyed outstanding performances in domestic and international competition and look forward to introducing more athletes to our sport as we build toward Paralympic inclusion in 2016."
On the women's side, 2012 national and world champions Patricia Collins (TRI-5, Alexandria, Va.) and Melissa Stockwell (TRI-2, Chicago, Ill.) claimed honorable mention accolades. Jamie Brown (TRI-5, Carlsbad, Calif.) and Matt Perkins (TRI-2, Boise Idaho), who both finished on the podium at the 2012 national and world championships, were chosen as the men's honorable mention selections.
Historically a world leader in paratriathlon, the U.S. led the medal count by capturing 13 of a possible 36 medals at the 2012 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand. Paratriathlon will make its Paralympic Games debut in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016.

Six hundred and eighty. That's the number of undergraduate students currently enrolled at Union College. It's also a preliminary fundraising goal for the "Let's Turn the Lights On" campaign.
In an effort to show that 100 percent of the student body supports the stadium lights project, Union is trying to raise one dollar per student.
During the first week in April, students, faculty and staff have donated to the project at either the College Store or Speed Hall. In exchange for one dollar, each person is presented with a postcard-sized wall tag—complete with an illustration of a light switch in the "on" position—along with a Sharpie and a piece of tape. The Sharpie, of course, is for identifying the donor, and the tape is to display the card on the wall alongside everyone else who has donated. There are now more than $200 in names displayed, with hopes of many more to follow.
The ultimate goal of the "Let's Turn the Lights On" campaign is to raise enough money to provide stadium lights for football, soccer, softball, baseball and golf facilities. Doing this would benefit not only student-athletes in many ways, but also the community. Some of those benefits include the ability to play night games; practice later in the day to reserve daylight hours for academics; to host summer camps for community and regional teams and organizations; and many more.
For more information about the "Let's Turn the Lights On" campaign, visit unionky.edu/stadiumlights. You can also keep track of the campus progress of the campus-wide campaign by following or joining the conversation: #ucshines.

icky jobbies.
the darkroom and workshop are flooded again and the people came to fix the problem with the drains last night so it'll drain away but then will need mopping up. bring wellies and a nosepeg. this is pretty urgent, and nobody who's volunteering in the kitchen should do it as it would be UNHYGENIC.
the other thing is the front door urgently needs repaired. we couldn't get a matching hinge (they don't make 'em that size any more) so if somebody with a drill and some screws could come & fix the new smaller hinge onto the door that'd be sweet cos I am worried about the glass breaking. Cannae find anything in the workshop, which is flooded (see above).
ASAP sweetpeas! I will give you a hug, make you coffee and tell you how great you are.

Made my first pie on the LBE.I am happy with the first try, i should have preheated longer as the bottom was a tad doughy. I was more afraid i would end up with charcoal. I used a dough with AP and no oil or sugar. I have two young boys, so NO pizza goes to waste.Would i have better luck with 00 flour?
Thanks Guys!And thanks for the song John. I too love this state, although i still have snow in the yard. Ready for some fly fishing, maybe this weekend.Next time i will try a hotter stone, one question, i have firebrick for the hearth/defuser , then a pizza stone on top. Was thinking i should add an air space between the two with something. Should help heat the stone faster. Any ideas?
Nice job moose13
Thanks guys! Its been fun experimenting.How important is the aluminum foil? I have yet to foil my egg.Think it needs it?
I have some heavy duty foil already, just got in a hurry to get cooking ya know.I will try it for the next bake.

Good and Bad, may work for some but not for others, be warned.
Posted by Reviewer3255105 on Mar 23, 2012
I have downgraded my review of this product for several reasons. After giving this to my cat for several months what I noticed was this.... She would vomit more, and usually nothing in the vomit other than food and water. There was no hair that came out. What was happening is that this stuff was making her stomach too oily and she couldn't hold down food. It would make her stomach upset. Once we stoppede using it for a couple of weeks her situation improved and cleared up. I will be throwing away the rest of it shortly. We are back to using our old brand. Hair paste in general is oily, but this one is 10x what most are and using it continually as a perventer can make your cat sick. I would suggest if you really want to buy it that you use it only for hairballs and not for hair maintanence. My original review is here: Works pretty well, but you have to keep giving it to your cat. Our cat vomits if we stop even for a day, not sure why that is... It is a little bit difficult to give the cat, depending on if they like different things, our cat is picky, we have to relax and be slow. But it seems to be effective in preventing excessive hairloss. We seldom use it for hairballs unless they obviously have a problem, at which point we will give them the full dose. Please read the bottle before you give your pet, you should not give the full dose everyday!
Hairball Relief Plus Not a Hit with Persian
Posted by Reviewer1125858 on Jun 28, 2011
I purchased this product because the ingredients sounded great, and the chicken flavor was supposed to be a favorite with cats. Unfortunately my 11 year old Persian male does NOT like the flavor and will not eat anything with the product mixed into it. I am rating the product with four stars becuase the company is sending me replacement hairball relief treats to try instead, and I am hopeful Peaches will be receptive.
Tasty, Silky

I actually needed something to help with constipation (in addition to hairballs) for an elderly cat. She LOVES this stuff and it works! Great natural product. Definitely recommend. =^..^=

In short: My first Midsummer Munro and I enjoyed itIn full: It was my first Trionium race. My wife entered me in because she heard it was harder than the other 1/2 marathon that I have done.I had never done any hill training but was prepared to give it a go. The start of the course is uphill and then its down and up. I really enjoyed the race, the other runners were great and so too were the marshals .My run time went out of the window due too all the steps that you have to go up and down. The hardest part was the last mile, with cramp starting to set in and my left leg not listening to me it was difficult getting up those final steps but as a runner I was determined to finish it. I had to smile coming down the hill towards the finish line. I achieved the HARDEST 1/2 marathon.I will be back next year and thank you to all the other runners and marshals that encourage me along the wayDate of review: June 26, 2014

Rice Lake issues brought up by County Commission
The was a lot of tabling of issues at Tuesday's meeting of the Ward County Commission.
Perhaps the topic that produced the most discussion was that of emergency pumping being conducted by the Rice Lake Recreation District, an ongoing attempt to get the growing lake in check.
While having obtained permission from the county previously, their permit has since expired; the district still has the necessary permission from the state.
Representatives of Rice Lake will be summoned to speak with the commissioners at the next meeting and will need to bring along an engineer to discuss the specifics of their pumping efforts.
In other flood worries, Dave Merritt, director of the Roosevelt Park Zoo, requested permission to use the County North Building to store the animals in his care should the Minot zoo be flooded again this year. The commissioners were receptive to the idea, as did advisers to the commissioners.
"I'd like to see us help them if we can," said Sheriff Steve Kukowski, citing that the zoo has not had any revenue for the two years it has been in recovery from the 2011 Souris River flood.
After some joking about the stink of fish-eating birds like penguins and pelicans a motion was carried to allow for the temporary storage of zoo animals in the County North Building should another disaster occur.
Bonding update
"You want the lowest total interest rate," said Myron Knutson of the Fargo office of Public Financial Management, the firm handling the sales of tax-revenue bonds which will provide the capital to fund the Ward County Office Building, jail expansion, and courthouse renovation progress.
The strategy of developing as many securities into the bonds as possible to develop the highest bond rating was discussed heavily.
Based on current information and analysis on the costs of the projects the bond total will be about $33.5 million but that is subject to change.
Bidding for the bonds will be held on May 6. Bids will be awarded and the sale authorized the following day, May 7, which is the next regularly scheduled meeting of the commission.
IT Update
Ward County IT administrator Jason Blowers has read each of the submitted 40-page proposals from companies bidding to design and maintain a new Ward County website. He said that he has written the "pros and cons" of each proposal down and will have a finalized analysis for the proposals ready for the commissioners by May 7.
"All of these are preliminary quotes because we don't have a building yet," said Blowers of his projected equipment list, for the eventual move to the new Ward County Office Building when the project is complete. He's planning the move to save the most amount of money in movement costs and so that the transition will be "a gentle, calm awakening over a mass exodus."
There was also some discussion drafting a policy for acceptable use over devices, such as employee smartphones and tablets, onto the county network to avoid the possibility of sensitive county information being let out should an employee device go lost, stolen, or missing.
Other business
– The commissioners approved two county highway projects. Both the county-wide crack seal and seal-coat project and the separate county-wide road striping projects are to be conducted over the summer with a projected end-date of Sep. 1.
– A request from Leslie Getzlaff to park her food truck, named "The Wife's Kitchen," in a county parking lot during the construction of the expansion projects was tabled by the commissioners to make sure they are in the legal clear to allow a private enterprise on public lands. For the idea itself, though, the commissioners seemed to feel that it was a good idea as it would add convenience for the workers during the project. One concern, brought up by commissioner Jerome Gruenberg, was that people would have to walk to her food truck and not use the lot as parking for eating, which Getzlaff agreed with. Another concern was whether the precedent set by Getzlaff's truck would force the county to allow any food truck to park there. Getzlaff said she is one of the few with the proper licenses and insurance to operate such an enterprise.

Jean-Marie Tassy is the man behind Uzik, a Paris-based advertising agency that has conceived some of the most jaw-dropping websites on the internet today. Even if you're a teetotaler, you have to admit the site for Russian Standard Vodka is a work of art, with a free-flowing Flash interface that looks so classy you'll want to put on a jacket and tie before you click "enter."
But Jean-Marie isn't just the head of one of the most cutting-edge new media companies out there. He's also the head organizer for Calvi on the Rocks, an annual music festival that this year featured LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, and A-Trak, among others. Technologically sophisticated? Check. Inspired creatively? Check. Loves loud music and parties? We had to talk to this guy.
The Creators Project: What are you up to these days? What are you working on?
Jean-Marie Tassy: It's been a crazy-busy month. I had the pleasure of working on the eighth edition of my festival Calvi on the Rocks. As well as this, I'm leading my digital agency Uzik through a weird economic period, and even if we finish with the same results as last year I have to expend a lot of energy to gain new online budgets for the coming year. Plus, the competition is harder than ever. We are fighting at the moment on proposals for new website budgets for Chanel, Hediard, the Louvre, and BNP Paribas. At the same time, we just put a bunch of fresh new websites online, such as visitprovence.com and andre.fr. I am also finishing the new website for my festival, calviontherocks.com/grille, with easy access to the best pictures and videos.
What do you call your job? There are so many different aspects to it.
I call it "Flash guru" in my dreams. "Multimedia artisan" is closer to the truth. I created and now run Uzik. We consist of more than 30 people, and we design information. We create brand experiences online, and we lead the international online strategies for clients like Perrier-Jouet Champagne, Russian Standard Vodka, and Nina Ricci. We also create innovative flash interfaces for Orange and France Télévisions.
In your work you combine technology, marketing, and creativity. Can you explain that process?
I love creating from technology! In another life I'll be an artist. Marketing is the crap that comes along with that—to please the brands and bring money. And money is the fuel for really sincere projects like Calvi on the Rocks. Day to day, the main idea for us is that we mix technological experts with creatives and marketers at the very first step of reflection and conception. Together we formulate rich-media solutions, which try to be innovative and creative.
What's your favorite piece of technology to use?
No doubt it is Flash from Adobe. Even if the trend is that HTML is not dead, Flash is the interactive rich media solution. I bet on this technology in 2000 (it was Flash 3 then), and I haven't been disappointed by its evolution. I like the idea of being an expert in dynamic Flash—"dynamic" meaning that you can use the solution with unlimited content.
If we could invent something just for you, what would it be?
Teleportation. I miss Corsica and sunshine in general. Invent it quickly, please.
What's coming up next for you? Are there any new technologies out there that you think will change the landscape further and revolutionize the way we work?
Flash still, I hope. Flash 11 and 12… and 99. And then I retire.

Let's get this started. If you guys have information about an upcoming TV game, let's hear it. Let's watch these games and maybe we can get more games on the local tube. maybe even on STO. What's better than high school football on a fall night?
Thursday night (the three lettered sports network) will feature the game between the Wadsworth Grizzlies and the Medina Bees.
What once was a bitter rivalry (these two teams are no longer in the same conference), but being 11 miles apart they still don't like each other. Last year Medina ran up the scoreboard on Wadsworth and that has not been forgotten in Grizzly country.
Wadsworth brings back tailback Dru Jones as the main weapon. They come in at 2-0 with a quad-OT win in Wooster, and a 38-14 win over Cuyahoga Falls Friday. Wadsworth sits at #6 in D1 Region 2. Wadsworth missed the playoffs (and a Suburban League title) last year by one game.
After making the post season last year, Medina was expected to go again this year but got pounded by Hudson in week one. Last week they beat a rebuilding Barberton team despite 7 turnovers. They have speed at reciever with Montreal Wade and at tailback with Reggie Hough.
Both teams are expected to make a lot of noise in the Region 2 playoff race. Region 2 is this quarter of the state (as the big schools are divided), for the best coverage of the playoff race, add http://www.joeeitel.com/hsfoot/2007region_2.html to your favorites.

Mackenzie, (Edward Montague) Compton
Mackenzie, (Edward Montague) Compton 1882–1972
Mackenzie was a prolific English novelist, memoirist, essayist, and writer of books and stories for children. He began his career as a serious novelist whose work won praise from Henry James. Soon after, however, he began writing lighter entertainment novels. His chef d'oeuvre in fiction, The Four Winds of Love, is a fictional chronicle of an upper-middle class Scotsman in the first forty years of this century. Mackenzie was knighted in 1952. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 21-22; obituary, Vols. 37-40, rev. ed.; Contemporary Authors Permanent Series, Vol. 2.)
[In Carnival Mr. Compton Mackenzie] is bent on telling us everything about the life of a dancing girl [Jenny Raeburn]—its hardships, amenities, and temptations—and, as he does not understand or believe in the art of omission, the record is full enough to satisfy the most exacting curiosity. It is not a book for squeamish palates, or for young persons, or for readers who are in search of innocent refreshment or food for mirth. It is not the allurement but the corruption of the theatrical atmosphere on which he insists, and the impression created on the present reader is one in which pity is largely swallowed up in disgust. It is the old duel of sex, but the dice are always loaded on the side of the man. Jenny's life is one long struggle with male enemies in various forms, mostly of the type of satyr…. The last scenes are laid in Cornwall, where Trewhella—the farmer—develops insane jealousy, as well as religious mania, and, after employing his farm hands to spy on his wife, shoots her at the very moment that she is repelling the renewed overtures of her faithless lover.
We have reviewed Mr. Mackenzie's novel at length not because it has given us any pleasure to read or because we can recommend it without reserves. But it deserves notice for its unquestioned if undisciplined talent and occasional brilliancy of presentation, for its frank disregard of the conventional canons of taste, and for the curious hostility towards the male sex betrayed by the author. There is only one of the prominent male characters in whom there is a spark of chivalry or who inspires the reader with any respect in his relations with womankind, and his interventions are wholly ineffectual. For the rest the motto is homo feminae lupus. Mr. Mackenzie evidently writes with a considerable first-hand knowledge of theatrical life and its parasites. To that extent his book may serve as a warning to those who are drawn by the lure of the footlights. But we should be very sorry to accept his picture as a faithful study of humanity seen steadily and whole. (pp. 278-79)
"Novels: 'Carnival'," in The Spectator (© 1912 by The Spectator; reprinted by permission of The Spectator), Vol. 108, No. 4364, February 17, 1912, pp. 278-79.
A certain subtle beauty pervades this novel of stage life. The story itself is not very distinctive, and it has not the recommendation of a happy ending. But what entitles "Carnival" to high rating is its unerring estimate of human character—an estimate which raises the incidents above the commonplace. One cannot skim such a book…. There is much to ponder, much to analyze, much to remember. Page after page of Mr. Mackenzie's book is enriched by word painting that fits in precisely with the tone and temperament of the story….
[Without] making it too apparent, the author pictures in that girl an innate refinement, an exquisite sentiment, a never-failing honesty, which is her eventual salvation. Jenny is not a bad girl in the sociological sense…. She is simply a girl out for fun, with a certain feminine intuition to protect her. And through it all, her refinement grows and her sentiment increases, until in the end she stands a woman rich in a certain untutored understanding.
It is not too much to claim for Mr. Mackenzie that his delineation is as minute and as thorough as anything to be found, let us say, in Mrs. Wharton's "Ethan Fromme." "Carnival" should be carefully examined because of its artistic construction and its artistic wording….
Each chapter is thorough, complete, whole. Mr. Mackenzie leaves nothing untouched, and his touch adds color and value to the picture. The account of Jenny's birth is a bit of psychology hardly to be surpassed, unless by the details of Jenny's dawning recognition of things. The description of Jenny's pious aunts, who are higher up in the world and who are consumed with the religious spirit, is worthy of Dickens…. We find in these initial chapters certain exquisite pastel effects which are gained by the particular use of words and similes. And, let it be noted, that the author makes use of the art of repetition which the present reviewer remembers to have seen skillfully used also in Frank Norris's "The Octopus."…
Mr. Mackenzie's power seems to be in making one feel the importance of the soul's attitude among events. He has no false excuses for Jenny; he simply states in concrete terms what Jenny herself felt in inexpressed ways.
But this high vision of the author does not keep him from picturing life in very real terms; his characters are nearly all coarse and common, and he makes you feel their coarseness and commonness….
Mr. Mackenzie is a writer who sees infinitely and well, who says fearlessly what he believes and relates it to life about him.

"Sinister Street" is the second and final volume of that study in adolescence of which "Youth's Encounter" was the prologue…. The theme of the two stories, the author himself explains, is "the youth of a man who presumably will be a priest." If the presumption is correct, vocational training for that office has altered in startling fashion within our experience, for the hero, after some rather uncommon boyhood experiments in sensation, makes the most of his youth in the fastest college of dreaming Oxford. The Michael of St. Mary's and Cheyne Walk is not intagliated so perfectly as the schoolboy of Carlington Road, but one does not lose the sense that the slim, fair, picturesque youth is a vivid contribution to the literature of intuition. The Oxford episodes are charmingly wrought, with an effect as haunting and insubstantial as the unreal landscape pricked with visionary spires which forms their background….
Michael emerges from Oxford only to plunge voluntarily into the nethermost halls of London harlotry and black-guardism by way of reconciling classic with vital education. It is then that the somewhat cryptic connotation of the title begins to reveal itself. "Sinister Street" is simply the interval that occurs in certain temperaments, when there is a definite, imaginative hunger for the sordid and hideous possibilities which life holds out of the voyager in spiritual adventures.

Mr. Compton Mackenzie's novel [The Four Winds of Love], when he has gone round the weathercock, will be in four volumes. [The South Wind of Love] is the second. The first volume I have not read, but by its title I suppose the emotional weather to have been keen, easterly and liverish. Now it has become kinder. John Ogilvie, through whom this story is mainly seen, has become a successful dramatist and is trying to break his liaison with a famous and luscious French actress who has an alarming look of marriage in her eye. Ogilvie believes in l'amour, not in marriage, and the comedy of his break with Gabrielle, turned temporarily sentimental, is excellent. If you break with an actress you get the thing twice over, lived and acted, and Mr. Mackenzie, who has drawn some good actresses in his time, may be called a specialist in this situation. It is all better that the people concerned are fluent and intelligent. Ogilvie perhaps knows his Gabrielle a shade too well; but the moments of sentiment are well in hand and the conclusion is marked with great acuteness: "in the admission that each had been able to wound the other recrimination was quenched." A fitting end to the love of two egoists. But John, to the book's disadvantage as a novel, is too great an egoist. A great deal of the book is seen through his eyes and he is really not interested in anyone but himself. This flattens people; they are the figures of a book of brilliant memoirs and you feel that there is more to them than Mr. Mackenzie tells. Still the book is not complete yet; as the intelligent but superficial tide of discussion and chronicle pictures recedes, certain figures are bound to stand out solid if forlorn. (p. 377)

I cannot help thinking that "Again to the North" is a somewhat unnecessary book. It is an example of what Coleridge called the cacoethes notandi. It is a series of agreeable footnotes, a tieing up of loose ends which might better be left untied….
"Again to the North" is set, as to time, in the middle of the 1930s, and, as to place, all over the place. John Ogilvie and his daughter wander up and down between England, France, Italy, and Greece. John talks all the time. He talks about the iniquities of Hitler and Mussolini, and the sinister ambivalence of Stanley Baldwin in the matter of the air estimates, the abdication of Edward VIII. He talks about the biography of Beethoven and the...

[The story of Jenny in Carnival] is an amalgam of Mackenzie's experience and observation. (p. 12)
The real tragedy … lies not in the murder of Jenny by gunshot, but in the gradual murder of her vivacity, sharp wit, and sheer brightness, her marvellous aliveness, by a kind of inertia in herself: it was too easy for her to stay in the chorus at the Orient with her friends and admirers around her rather than to move forward into the more taxing world of dancing…. It is this wastefulness—which lies in nature—that saddens the reader. But there would be no sadness, no sunt lacrimae rerum, without Mackenzie's astonishing insight into the character of a small child who grows into a...

Complex in design and teeming with ideas, [The Four Winds of Love] is perhaps [Sir Compton Mackenzie's] greatest achievement as a novelist, and certainly the most likely to stand the test of time in company with Sinister Street…. This chronicle of John Pendarves Ogilvie's life as he grows from youth to manhood and maturity in the first forty years of our century is clearly a masterpiece…. The immediacy with which the changing social, artistic and political scene is presented; the way in which all this is interwoven with the story of John Ogilvie, his family and his friends; and the whole organization of the scale and sweep of the novel, represent a triumph of the craft of fiction.

Water on the Brain is a squib that in places is very funny indeed. It is also entirely unambitious, since loaded with nonsense reducing it well below the level of satire. But it will remain readable for so long as secret services exist—that sort of activity being, or being popularly supposed to be, exclusively carried on by button-headed bad hats superannuated from our very grandest public schools.
Compton Mackenzie, certainly, had found a new and delightful stamping ground which he could frequent during occasional periods of fatigue in his astoundingly prolific career. The Monarch of the Glen is perhaps the most successful of the frolics that resulted. It concerns the triumps and...

The fate of Sinister Street is unique in that its virtues as a novel have been overshadowed by its accidental status as a germinating influence on a more solemnly regarded writer. The juxtaposition of Mackenzie with Scott Fitzgerald has always seemed a shade bizarre, for a multiplicity of literary, historical and cultural reasons, but the measuring of Sinister Street against Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, defined by Edmund Wilson as 'an American attempt to rewrite Sinister Street,' undertaken at a point in Fitzgerald's life when he was 'drunk with Mackenzie', soon reveals that these unlikely literary bedfellows were stalking the same quarry, the lost innocence and naivete of...

The 17th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change concluded in the early morning hours of Sunday December 11, after more than two weeks of intense negotiations in Durban, South Africa. I've returned to Washington and I can report that we made some very significant progress. Though I'm steeped in the climate negotiations, I know how hard it can be to make sense of the various accords and agreements and how they can help us meet the climate challenge. So let me explain why what the Durban negotiations actually constitute an important step forward.
(1) For the first time, we agreed that by 2020, all countries will be covered under the same legal regime.
This is a breakthrough in climate negotiations. For the past 20 years, there has been a kind of firewall between developed and developing countries, most vividly embodied by the Kyoto Protocol, where all real obligations for reducing emissions apply to developed countries. If that ever made sense, it sure doesn't make sense now at a time when China is already far larger than the United States in emissions and will be more than twice our size in this decade, and where nearly all the global growth in emissions going forward will come from developing countries.
The United States has been pushing consistently, since the start of the Obama Administration, for a global accord that would cover all the major players, whether developed or developing. The so-called "Durban Platform" does that, calling for a new legal instrument "applicable to all Parties." It thus sets us on a path toward a very different kind of global agreement, whose obligations will extend to countries responsible for the vast majority of global emissions. By contrast, Kyoto in its first period (2008-2012) has applied to countries with less than 30 percent of global emissions, and in its upcoming second period will cover countries (mostly in Europe) that account for less than 15 percent of global emissions. You can't address climate change with an agreement that leaves 85 percent of global emissions on the sidelines.
The Durban Platform did not seem in the cards when the conference started. But several factors combined to make it happen. First, the European Union held strong to its position that it would agree to a second Kyoto period (something developing countries very much wanted) only if others committed to negotiate a legal instrument; second, small island states, facing what they see as an existential threat, spoke with a compelling voice in demanding ambitious action; third, the United States insisted, as it has done since 2009, that any language calling for a legal outcome had to apply to developing countries, especially the majors; and fourth, the major developing countries -- China, India, Brazil, South Africa -- showed new flexibility in accepting such language in a period from 2020 forward. The road to the "Durban Platform" was anything but smooth, but, helped by a final "huddle" on the floor of the Plenary session at 4 a.m. Sunday, with the United States proposing the language that broke the final logjam, the deal got done.
Under the Durban Platform, a new legal agreement is to be negotiated by the end of 2015, and will start to be implemented from 2020, after it has been approved in an adequate number of countries.
(2) We made good progress in carrying forward the agreements reached last year in Cancun for countries to reduce their emissions between now and 2020 and to build key institutions of an international climate regime.
Cancun wasn't a legally binding agreement, but it was enormously important nonetheless. Under it, all major players pledged to take actions to reduce their emissions, to set up a transparency regime so that all countries could have confidence that others were acting, and to set up important institutions such as a Green Climate Fund, a Climate Technology Center and Network to help disseminate green technologies, and a new Adaptation Committee. The challenge in Durban was to start making these elements operational, and this challenge was largely met. We wrote the guidelines for the new transparency regime; we approved the instrument setting up the Green Climate Fund; and we took the next steps forward on technology and adaptation, among other things. These steps will help build an international climate infrastructure, and will be crucial for driving mitigation action and supporting adaptation over the coming years.
(3) Answering a red herring: we are not putting off action until 2020.
I've heard some people question whether the dates embedded in Durban Platform mean that we've put off "real" action on climate until 2020. The answer is emphatically no. Look at what will be on our plates in the immediate term. First, under Cancun, all the major players pledged to implement targets or actions to reduce emissions between now and 2020. These are serious promises, so the first focus of pledging countries will be to take real action at home -- now.
Second, we have to do the important, on-the-ground work of setting up the Cancun institutions discussed above. Third, donor countries agreed in Copenhagen and again in Cancun to a goal of mobilizing $100 billion a year from public and private sources by 2020, assuming adequate mitigation and transparency by developing countries. Developing and implementing a plan to do this -- one that will inevitably depend heavily on using public measures to attract private investors -- will be a major undertaking in this decade. Fourth, while all this work to make the Cancun agreements operational is going on, we will need to get going on a parallel track of work toward negotiation of the new Durban Platform agreement by 2015. In short, the idea that Durban will result in real action being put off misconceives what we have just agreed to and the full-out effort required in the here and now.
So -- this coming year promises to be an important one, as we continue moving aggressively to set up the Cancun institutions and as we begin to grapple with what a new legal instrument, genuinely applying to all parties, should look like. We're in a much better place right now than most people thought possible two weeks ago.

What will happen between now and 2012?
Have people around the world not watched many dates come and go for a wide variety of agreements, protocols etc....only for them to collapse?
What about the countries that have not undergone growth like China, Russia and the west in general. What will happen to their progress - their societies?
In 2019 when many countries are facing the impossibility and perhaps the futility of this framework - what happens then?
Honestly and perhaps someone with a shred of common sense can chime in on this. If we all became bleeding edge enviro fundamentalists - would are planet become some static place of bliss? Would are planet stop the change it has been doing long before our arrival onto this planet? Would volcanoes stop? Would ice ages not occur? Would earthquakes stop? Will the sun stop its cycles? Will hurricanes disappear? Would drought be just a distant memory? Will asteroids never hit our planet? Would mass pandemics altogether stop?
What would the scientist say when in the future all the fear mongering, wasted resources and time on so called global warming- will mean nothing.
it is sad to see so many people run around crying the sky is falling - when they don't understand the sky. Some things in life are complex but at the same time very simple - other times things are quite simple, we just make them complex.
When so many intelligent people miss the mark i find it disturbing. Then again for decades we are taught what to think not how to think - its not surprising we act like the proverbial lemurs following one another over the cliff.
Dont get me wrong we must do an exceedingly better job at cleaning up our act but the notion that we will somehow overt some global catastrophe is false - one way or another catastrophe will come and when it does their will be not a damn thing we can do about it except hold onto our @sses. And it wont be anything we have done to cause it- has our history and limited knowledge of our world taught us nothing - mass extinction, flooding, ice ages...on and on it goes. It will happen again - its natural to understand this - foolish to ignore. More foolish is to think we are totally in control of something that really controls us. In many ways some people mirror or parallel the old belief that everything revolves around the earth - this was wrong. Today we think that we actually hold the key to prevent events that have been happening long before a human being set foot here - not only that - some people seem to think that we actually will be responsible for some events that would happen anyway.
Our ability to adapt, thrive and succeed is what is paramount - no matter what is thrown at us as a species - we have not even begun to address this - instead we think if we all just do this or that things will be all right - why not tell people to put their tin hats on and dream of nice warm fuzzy places and it will be - if only it was that easy.
Take a step back for a moment and think about what should make sense to anyone. Right now if a major cataclysmic event happened regardless of it being man made or not - how or could are societies cope and thrive? At the moment we cant. I call that failure. All the time wasted over climate issues and such - we could have handled this problem in a much better way - instead we think that we can recycle our societies to safety.(laugh)
Who will the environmentalists protest if a 12 Volcanoes were to erupt or a mini ice age were to befallen us along with a couple a dozen earthquakes for good measure? Im sure climate scientist would dash out and concoct a seemingly sensible story to make the simpletons believe it is all our fault - somehow. Scientist that are motivated by fear of being proven wrong or the desire at all costs to be right - and they are out there - are not very good scientists. How many scientist stated smoking was good? Most of the industry, pollutants, nuclear waste - was it not science that made all these possible? Now they want you to believe that its all evil and will doom us all without fail.
If we were pummeled by 1000 meteors some scientists could spin a story blaming DuPont for it - some fool somewhere would believe it.
we are not prepared and this 2020 business still does nothing to prepare us. Wasted opportunity and time.
Think about how we might not only thrive and survive any problem that comes our way and you will naturally solve global warming concerns while at the same time it will prepare us for the crap we cant control.
Man made or not catastrophe is bad for business, people and ultimately the stability of nations - sadly pollution is a very small part of a much bigger picture.
Some of these environmentalists care more for the planet than they do people. We have organizations led by geriatric people telling the young of this world to stop having children- some science has become a cult or a religion.

without grossing anyone out, I do want to say that I have been very constipated since I'm pregnant and my bowel movements have been very small, frequent and greasy/sticky. This stuff quickly got me cleaned out and now I'm having nice clean, regular bowel movements that pass through me effortlessly. I'm sorry to be descriptive about it, but I figure I'm not the only one who buys fiber to clean out their digestive track, and that it would be helpful for others to know how this stuff works works. I feel much better. The only slightly weird thing is that my stool seems almost fluffy in the toilet now. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It comes out very clean, but I'm just used to having heavy/dense stools. Anyway, I will keep using this stuff forever.

Relax after a long day on this casual reclining sofa. With plush padding all over, this piece is comfortable any way you want to sit on it. Lie down across all three cushions and take a nap or sit with your friends and family and recline.
The Mallory Casual Reclining Sofa by England is available in the Orland Park, Chicago, IL area from Darvin Furniture.
Unlike recliners that are built with a two or three-piece seat and leg rest cushion, this recliner has a single chaise cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers fuller comfort and support for your legs, and eliminates the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.

European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Forestry is one area in which opportunities exist for greener trade
In the last two decades, trade has continued to expand, creating economic growth and progress towards eradicating poverty in developing countries. At the same time, however, the increasing volume of trade has put additional stress on natural resources, led to increases in GHG emissions, and contributed to social inequalities.
World trade patterns show that developing countries, and particularly least developed countries, still depend heavily on natural resource based products and raw materials for their exports. To achieve long-term and sustainable economic development, however, there are significant and real opportunities for developing nations to diversify their economies and position themselves to benefit from the growing global demand for more green goods and services.
While still representing only a small percentage of the global market, trade in certified products and in environmental goods and services is on the rise in absolute terms. For example, the global market in low-carbon and energy efficient technologies, which include renewable energy supply products, is projected to nearly triple to US$ 2.2 trillion by 2020.
The report, Green Economy and Trade - Trends, Challenges and Opportunities, finds that developing countries with abundant renewable resources are well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities to increase their share in international markets for sustainable goods and services.
The report analyzes six economic sectors - agriculture, fisheries, forests, manufacturing, renewable energy and tourism - where trade opportunities exist, and identifies measures, such as policy reforms and certification, that can help developing countries benefit from these markets.
Some of the trends highlighted in the report illustrate this potential. For example:
"Transitioning to a green economy can facilitate new trade opportunities, which in turn will help to make global trade more sustainable," said Mr Steiner. "At the same time, trade in environmental goods and services is clearly an area where many developing countries have a competitive advantage. With the right policies and price regimes in place, developing countries are well-positioned to help drive the global transition to a more sustainable economy."
The report identifies several areas where public and private actions can support developing countries' efforts to access greener international markets. These include:
Realizing sustainable trade opportunities can imply that suppliers have to comply with an increasing number of environmental and social requirements. In the lead-up to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), several countries expressed concerns about such difficulties to access export markets due to complex regulatory regimes. Furthermore, achieving compliance can be expensive, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.
For these reasons, public and private support is necessary to help businesses green their production and supply chains. In addition, regulatory cooperation, technical and financial assistance and capacity building, will be critical if developing countries are to harness new green trade opportunities.
UNEP, under the Green Economy and Trade Opportunities Project (GE-TOP), seeks to identify policies and measures to help developing countries overcome challenges and respond to export demand for sustainable goods and services.
Following this report, which is the first key output under GE-TOP, UNEP is moving to the second phase of GE-TOP. In response to the calls made at Rio+20 for more action by the international community, UNEP will provide sector-specific assistance to developing countries through inclusive stakeholder processes to seize opportunities arising from the transition to a green economy.
Note to Editors:
To download a copy of the report or for more information on UNEP's Green Economy and Trade Opportunities Project, see: www.unep.org/greeneconomy.
The report was made possible through ongoing cooperation with the European Commission (EC). The EC is supporting the implementation of UNEP's Programme of Work through a strategic cooperation agreement with the Directorate-General for the Environment, under the Thematic Programme for Sustainable Management of Natural Resources including Energy (ENRTP).

I've never tried a tea from Hai Lang Hao, but have heard nothing but amazing things about their 07 Bu Lang offering. I'm wondering why these teas are so cheap for the expected quality and age.

Metamorphosis of Narcissus – Salvador Dali
Dali's inspiration for this painting came from a conversation he had overheard between two fishermen discussing another local man who would stare at himself in a mirror for hours. One of the men described the man as having a "bulb in his head"; which is just another way to say that he was mentally ill. Dali combined this story and setting with the ancient Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and was then transformed into the flower that bears his name after his death.
Metamorphosis of Narcissus
The Metamorphosis of Narcissus was painted using oil on canvas, while Dali and Gala were traveling in Italy.
Here's an interesting video tribute to this piece…

I prefer the Synergy store brand but I needed my food shipped real fast. iHerb is supposed to ship your package via UPS and I am next door, would get it the next day, but nope: they sent this via Smartpost, took forever to get here! :(
Absolutely love this tea
Posted by Reviewer1073521 on Mar 08, 2011
I have tried a few Kombuchas, and 2000 is by far the most tasty and most well made I have found. My daughter and I have not been sick for years, and I swear by this tea. If I feel sniffles or a sore throat coming on, I drink an extra dose, and the next morning I am like new- God's healing gift to us!

I would begin my piece this way: By describing Godard and Gorin's "Letter to Jane."
In 1972, after filming "Tout Va Bien" (Everything's All Right) starring Jane Fonda and Yves Montand, the brilliant French flmmaker, Jean-Luc Godard, and his then frequent collaborator, Jean-Pierre Gorin, came across a photograph of Jane Fonda in a magazine. It showed the activst actress in conversation wth some North Vietnamese. Annoyed by Fonda's celebrity and her politics, the two filmmakers–who more or less constituted Dziga Vertov, the filmmaking collective named after the Russian avant-garde filmmaker–produced a movie they originally titled, "Inquiry Into A Still." The "action" of the hour long "Letter to Jane," ends up being Godard and Gorin's voice over narration, wherein the unseen authors produce a scathing film-essay about the nature of celebrity, liberalism, and looking, while indirectly revealing their own complicated, and sometimes thwarted, view of women.
I would go to see Gorin. I would go to see Gorin and talk about Jane.
I would go to Jane's house. I would bring photographs with me. I would say: Look at yourself in these photographs–these various Janes. Who do you see? Do you see the paradigm? Of Angelina Jolie-Celebrity-Saviour?
I would put the photographs on the bed. A museum of Jane.
I would say: Jane, colored people loved you most not when you were saving them but when you played the girl in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They." And when you ran the con on Donald Sutherland in "Klute." These were women they could understand.
I would put it to her: Jane, when I saw you lick your glasses and then further clean them on your sleeve, Jane, I saw this: a wide streak of performer vivacity.
I would want to say, Jane: Your time in Vietnam was of service, Jane, but perhaps showing us female oppression and confusion and literal prostitution in "Klute," told us more.
I would say: Jane, I don't do this kind of writing anymore. It's been the end of this kind of writing for me, Jane, but no one can give up talking to you, Jane, especially if you are an American because it is too much the story of America: your strident off-putting voice, mimicing of various men you've adored, not knowing yourself, and saying, in the end, that their many not be such a thing–a self.
For years, I would say to Jane, for years, I thought I was Jane in "Julia," until it turned out I was really Vanessa Redgrave, holding that friend's hand across the table, calling them "My beloved friend." Beat. "Now go!"
I would say: Jane, I watched you worry for everyone's comfort backstage, and your need to organize, and your need to connect, and your need to exercise your good manners. I recognized all of those things, Jane.
I would ask Jane about her hands–famously, Henry Fonda's hands. What was striking when I met your children, Jane: They have your hands, which is to say your father's.
At the after-party for your play, Jane, you complimented one of the producers by saying he was one reason your father loved the theatre so. But do you love the theatre, Jane? Do you?
Could I say, Jane, the best story I heard about you recently was a road trip you took with Madeline Sherwood when you were both at the Actor's Studio. And how, on that road trip, Madeline Sherwood, who played Mother Superior on "The Flying Nun," taught you about women's bodies. Did she teach you about your own?
I would show Jane these photographs of herself backstage. I would say: Jane, I took these photographs of you, but I took them with the eye of someone else. What do you see? Jane, it hurts when you smile. I see you as the twelve year old girl you must have been, trying to smile through the news that your mother had slit her throat for want of love from your very cold father. You speak of him still.
Jane, we have too much in common.

How to measure ingredients properly
It may sound obvious, but the key to successful cooking and baking is to always measure the ingredients carefully. Here are some helpful measuring tips.
Dry ingredients (like flour and sugar) should be measured using flat-cup measures. Ingredients should be level. Running the back of a flat-bladed knife across the surface is a good way to do this.
Spoon measures must be measured with the correct sized spoons. A level spoon is essential.
Liquid ingredients should be measured in jugs. Set the jug on a flat surface and check at eye level.
Be sure to check out our baking recipes collection.
