Colour woodcuts up for sale (and one you missed)
A reader commented a few days ago that he was lucky enough to buy four Kenneth Broad colour woodcuts and now has one of them for sale. I suppose between us Clive Christy and myself managed to raise the profile of Broad and I have also worked with his grandson to put together a check-list of his colour woodcuts. So, I do not want to sound proprietorial about Broad but, as my reader offered to send an image of 'Across the harbour, Whitby', I thought it was about time I posted it myself.
But, you will see I have begun this post with a print by the Austrian artist, Engelbert Lap, simply because it is one I am selling myself. Yes, I know, it's shocking but the renovation of my cottage in Wales calls for firm action. So, Engelbert must go. Nothing wrong with it. It's in wonderful condition and well-framed and comes up for sale at Mellors and Kirk, Nottingham, on 23rd and 24th November, 2016. The catalogue should be online of not now then soon. The image you see isn't mine but shows another impression that was sold not long back in the US. There is another version here for interest's sake.
But much dearer to our hearts than Lap is Kenneth Broad and I was very lucky to pick up this unsigned impression of 'The harbour, Britainy' not so very long ago on ebay. No one else was interested presumably because no one had identified the print as by Broad. I only had the title to go by but I think it's Broad at his crowded best and will going on the wall in Wales once it has been framed (and the wall has been painted). It belongs to a later group of prints that includes, 'A Breton Fair' and 'The quay, Whitby' that were all exhibited at Colnaghi in London in 1932. More formal than his earlier prints, they find him making use of perspective in a manner no other British colour woodcut artist could. Trained as an architect and with an individual sense of colour, he may not have been much of a water-colourist, he could make literate and very satisfying prints.
As you see, 'Across the harbour, Whitby' isn't half as good. I would date this to 1921 or 1922 and is similar in approach to 'Mitcham Fair'. He had found his own subjects but he was still not all that successful with the Japanese method he was using and that makes the prints look rather slapdash. By 1922, when he exhibited 'The fair, Southwold' at the Royal Academy, he was in control. That isn't to say, everything after that was good but by and large he had a fair number of successes. This is not the impression currently for sale; this one belongs to Broad's grandson but no doubt you will be able to contact the seller somewhere below (if he sees this new post, that is).
Last but far from least, is the work of another British artist dear to the heart of many readers. It is of course our own S.G. Boxsius. The only image of his ploughman generally available till now was so small, it was hard to make any judgment about the print. It presumably shows the South Downs in Sussex. There are a number of images of Sussex by him and I always believed it was an early work but looking at it now, I am pretty sure it's linocut, so who knows? I don't have a date or title. He was certainly making linocuts by 1925 but there are no firm dates for his prints until 1930. Notice how Boxsius the subtle colourist is already at work and, let's face it, anything by Boxsius is worth having if you have some cash to spare. This one belongs to long-time reader Klaus Voigt who can be contacted at email@example.com. This one is the image for sale and it's the first time a good image of this particular print has appeared online so many thanks to Klaus for that.

Some colour woodcuts on British ebay
There has been such a dearth of good colour woodcuts on British ebay for such a long time, I began to wonder whether anything decent would ever appear. Kenneth Broad's pair of nursery printsare now for sale and they are good, but we have seen them more than once before and, what is more, I remember the way they set the whole show rolling when Clive Christie bought them soon after he had started his old blog 'Art and the Aesthete'. Arthur Rigden Read's virtuoso Stormy seas has never appeared on British ebay. The only image available online until very recently was one lifted from The Studio, a 1920s reproduction that did Read's print little justice.
Stormy seas is not Read at his very best. It owes a lot to Hans Frank's 'Seagulls' of 1924 although in many ways, it's the better print. Read was never averse to pinching good ideas and often made witty use of other artists but he had a weakness for birds and they failed to bring out the best in him. 'May morning' was an early exception; for all its bravura and undoubted skill, Stormy seas is seascape and Read just wasn't any good at landscape and was wise enough to avoid it and concentrate on figure subjects or still life. Am I being too critical? I don't think so, because when Read's prints were good, they were very good indeed, he just wasn't a good enough artist to avoid a hackneyed image like this one. That aside, the sense of the waves and the play of white and green is pretty sensational really and very clever. The print makes a very rare use in British colour woodcut of the technique known in Japan as karazuri or shallow embossing. You can make out what is happening on the detail at the top. And in case, you dod not recognise this image I have used here from its recent appearance, it's because the proof you see here belongs to Gerrie Caspers from The Linosaurus, so many thanks to him for a superior photograph.
Far more of a surprise for me was the appearance of Phillip Needell's The mill at Cley. I'd never seen this before and was not at all aware that Needell could turn out anything as good as this. It is just as conventional as the Read but unlike Read, Needell understood the conventions of landscape art well enough to come up with this pleasing and delicate image. If it owes quite a lot to French artists like Henri Riviere or Lucien Pissarro, the way he has broken the image down into a series of marks is surprisingly modern for him. We could have done with more of that and less of the mill. It is certainly far more satisfying than E.A. Verpilleux's lurid treatment of the same subject. At £200, it was not a bad buy either and I was expecting it to fetch more.
Hugo Noske has never really been on my radar and has never had a post to himself on Modern Printmakers but why this fruity autumnal image remained unsold the other night, is just beyond me. The colour is rich, the description of dahlias, rudbeckia, helenium and montbretia is apt and frisky and it would look better on a wall than either the Read or Needell. Not evocative enough, I suppose, no real sense of the collectable about it, that would be it. Solid, yes, but all the same, I think it's rather glorious.

Oskar Laske, the White Angel Apothecary & mosaic
As soon as I read the comment left by Andreas this morning about Oskar Laske, I knew I had a lead for another post. And here it is. But the result is unexpected.
Laske began his professional life as an architect. His father (also Oskar) had been an architect in Czernowitz and young Oskar began training in fine art in Vienna when he was about thirteen before moving to the Technische Hochschule, a leading school of modern architecture and design at the age of eighteen. Six years later, he moved on to the Academy where Otto Wagner was director and then began to practice. It was not to last very long.
The designs for the White Angel Apothecary at 8, Bognorstrasse, were made soon afterwards between 1901 and 1902. The mosaics he had made for the façade suggest why his career in architecture might have been such a short one. There is something abnormal about his angels; they are too overstated and imaginative for a pharmacy and too much like a pair of dragonflies.
I suggested in the last post they he must have visited Istanbul by about 1910 but the mosaics begin to make me think he had visited while still a student. The C11th image above shows Empress Zoe, the wife of Constantine IX, in what was then the Church of the Holy Wisdom in Constantinople.
Laske was not the only Viennese artist to make use of mosaic. Gustav Klimt incorporated them into his designs for the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, which was built after Laske's designs had been made. What I do think is Laske responded to mosaic in a way that Klimt did not. Byzantine art remains a kind of lost aspect of European art, anomalous but one of tremendous craftsmanship and tremendous feeling.
Klimt adapted the old technique with verve and imagination but Laske's paintings owe just as much to the example of mosaic but lead off in an other direction, well away from the impressiveness of the great mosaics of Ravenna and Damascus and others like these marvellous apostles at St Michael in Chora in Istanbul. Andreas also mentioned a trip Laske made with Emma Bormann to Sicily and Tunisia organised by the University of Vienna in 1913. I have to assume again that one good reason for going as far as Sicily was to see the mosaics in Palermo and at Monreale. Here he is as a soldier-artist about three years afterwards. Now have a second look at Zoe's eyes and face.

One of the more extraordinary aspects of old Muslim cities is the way they living co-exist with the dead. Cemeteries are a feature of all old towns from Istanbul to Rabat to Cairo. It isn't always obvious because old Jewish cemeteries are sometimes hidden behind walls as they are at Tangier and Marrakech (and they are in Britain) but Christian and Jewish graves are still there. Frank Brangwyn's view of Istanbul from one of the cemetries at Uskudar across the Bosphorus is one of his most affecting prints. It comes from Yoshijiro Urushibara's Ten woodcuts published in 1924 and less than ten years after the defeat inflicted on the allied armies by Ottoman forces on the Gallipoli peninsula early in 1916 after a year of fighting. (The man with the moustache and the field glasses in the photograph below is Mustafa Kemal, later first president of the Turkish Republic, showing the battlefield to a delegation of writers).
Brangwyn wasn't against the war. One of the eighty propaganda posters he produced so enraged Kaiser Wilhelm, Brangwyn may well have been in danger if Germany and their Ottoman allies had won. What Urushibara's attitude was, I do not know, but he was a nigh-on perfect collaborator with the British artist. Brangwyn could be hackneyed, trite and unsubtle but Urushibara's printing methods often added nuances that were beyond Brangwyn and no more so than here with his sympathetic use of green.
Oskar Laske must have been in Istanbul around about 1910 or before because Der wunderbare Fischzug was made between 1911 and 1914. It may not look like Istanbul or anywhere near there but, although the subject comes from the New testament, the etching shows the kind of tower used by Turkish fishermen along the shore of the Golden Horn and the Bosphorous. This print turned up in excellent condition on British ebay some years ago and the only person who wanted it was me. I can tell you the image above doesn't do Laske's work any justice. I include one of his watercolours of the city.
What I like about Emma Bormann's view of Istanbul (below) is the way it avoids the common western depiction of the oriental city as a warren of narrow streets teaming with people. It often is, but that isn't the point! And so far as I'm concerned, the Orient begins at Budapest. And in case you don't believe me, keep in mind the way someone once described Naples: 'The only oriental city without a European quarter'.

Kazuyuki Ohtsu, a cherry tree at full moon
There is just one aspect of Kazuyuki Ohtsu's career as a maker of woodblocks that everyone mentions and it is the long-standing working relationship with Kiyoshi Saito. Ohtsu went to Tokyo at the age of eighteen or nineteen and studied at the Umehara Hanga Studio in Tokyo between 1954 and 1958 and then for the next forty years worked for Saito, an extraordinary enterprise, which I have no information about.
Saito died in 1997 and Ohtsu himself is now eighty-one. It hasn't stopped him making prints of the greatest refinement. Kyoto, Ryoanji stone garden (at the top) was published only this year and all the prints you see here were made over the past ten years or so. Cherry tree at full moon, the woodblock that suggested the title for this post about him, was published only in 2012 and provides the best example of what Japanese artists can do so well. There is no sense here that anything has passed him by, the complexities are handled with unaffected ease, as well they might be, after making prints alongside another artist for so long. But then, this is what his own art is about.
I like some of his prints more than others and have tried to show one or two I might not have chosen. Grey is a perennial in Japan and not just a fashion as it has been in the West, and many of his prints are surprisingly bold. In Hakone from 2006 (above) is something of a halfway house. Even so, it is the understated ones I like most. But they all remind me of a line from the British poet, Edward Thomas, 'and what was hid shall still be hid'. To be hidden behind another artist as long as he was is unusual but looking at the half-enclosed world of In Hakone, I have to conclude it suited his purpose. But then, I think these images speak for themselves. The Japanese are very good at putting you in their shoes and then quietly leaving you alone.

Hugo Henneberg, the first linocut virtuoso
Around 1904 the Viennese artist, Hugo Henneberg, made this remarkable colour linocut he called Der blaue Weiher (the blue pond), remarkable not only because of the image itself, but because he had used a cheap and nasty material like linoleum to make it. Exactly where he got the idea from, I do not know. Lino had only been used for making printing blocks in wallpaper production since the 1890s, so here was an example of a modern artist adapting a commercial technique in the same way pochoir was used in the twenties and screen printing in the sixties. What really is surprising, though, it just how good it was.
Henneberg was not the only artist to be using lino at the time. Gabriele Muenter had begun her series of portraits of Wassily Kandinsky (who had been her teacher at Munich) in 1903. Henneberg was different, more formal. Linocuts like Am Quai (above) also took photographs he had been making since the 1880s as a starting point. So, he was no youthful beginner. Although Am Quai is based on a photograph taken at Trieste in 1899, I'm including his photograph, Bach in Fruhjahr, (below). It gives more of an idea of his overall approach to making images. The problem is it's not always easy to say exactly what he was doing because Henneberg began to make colour woodcuts at the same time and in reproduction it can be very tricky trying to tell linocut from woodcut. Am Quai is sometimes described as woodcut and mistakes have been made with other prints, probably because no one expects them to be linocuts!
The temptation to head the post with Der blaue Weiher was too big for me to resist. Yet in many ways it isn't typical and most of his other prints would strike most modern readers as more conventional, a shame because what Henneberg's was doing with lino was new. But then, look here. He goes off to Italy with Gustav Klimt and Carl Moll in 1899 and comes home and makes an atmospheric but formal print like Am Quai. It's Hiroshige without the humour and perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that what followed over the next few years was a fascination with baroque.
Stiftshof in Duernstein (above) might come over as more intriguing than exciting, particularly the version in black and white. Certainly, it sits oddly with the Secession reputation for innovation and advanced modernity. I think what he had done with Der blaue Weiher was draw on the decorative work of Klimt. The way the reflections end up making patterns is similar to both Klimt and Egon Schiele. Frankly, he might have been better following this up with others like it, but he turned to Moll instead who was both less talented and more conservative. Both artists had homes designed by Josef Hoffman on the Hohe Warte in Vienna and Henneberg went as far as to base one of his colour woodcuts on a painting by Moll. This was inexplicable. Seeing one medium in terms of another is basically anti modern. It also causes confusion. To my dismay, only this weekend I discovered that I had put a colour linocut by Henneberg at the top of a post about Moll's colour woodcuts and no one but no one picked me up on it!
I tend to think that so far as Henneberg and colour print went, Moll led the way. Moll had published a portfoilio of large prints in 1903. Other artists made even larger colour woodcuts than Moll, but lino lends itself to a big scale because it is cheap and is easier to manipulate, particularly if you to go in for the kind of architectural detail that Henneberg seemed to like. Funnily enough, this makes him look a lot like his British contemporary, Sidney Lee. What was missing in Lee, though, was Henneberg's sophistication. Italy was easier to comprehend when looked at from Vienna rather than Manchester where Lee came from. Henneberg's virtuosity sits easily on him while Lee always has too much northern grit about him (though I used to like that). Henneberg could turn from photography to woodcut and lino with ease and get it right and, what is more, having no other artists to turn to for an example when it came to lino. Nor did anyone think of working on such a scale for many years. The fact that no one much, apart from Ernst Stoehr, followed his example only emphasises how individual he was. The Wachau portfolio of seven linocuts he published in 1910 became his testament because only eight years later, he was dead. You can see Duernstein above.
Unfortunately, not many of the images available online are all that good and the situation is complicated by an edition that was printed posthumously in 1921. The original edition published by Gesellschavt fur Vervielfaltignede Kunst have their mark on the left and a studio stamp of Henneberg's signature on the left, while the 1921 edition was annotated by Karl Nickman but with the printer so far unidentified (or at least that is how I understand the German notes). But either way, you get the idea. Here is Stein, above, and no doubt readers in Bavaria who are fans of Henri Riviere will notice what Henneberg was able to learn from that artist. (It's worth saying that Riviere was invited to exhibit with the Secession in 1899 along with William Nicholson, so there is no doubt about Henneberg knowing his work, I would think.)
In all this Henneberg was pretty forward-looking. If he derived styles and ideas from artists as diverse as Hokusai and Moll, he also set the tone for a lot of work that came after the first war. British printmakers as diverse as S.G. Boxsius, Claughton Pellew and Edward Bawden would all recognise a fellow practitioner, I would have thought. One thing they all have in common is an interest in place. Wachau is in Upper Austria and the prints take in similar views over one small area. It is what a portfolio can do in the right hands; the prints speak to one another as much as they do to us. And I think they do speak. The atmospherics of the photographs and the Secession formalism of the earlier colour prints have developed into that old thing, a flowering later in life. Claude Flight liked to claim that linocut had no history and that was what made it attractive to him.. What he should have said was it had no history he knew about, but some of it you see here - in fact a lot of it is here! It is astonishing really that Henneberg got so far.
Last but far from least, I am indebted to Galerie Walfischgasse in Vienna for the high standard of many of the images you see here.

Art for all, colour woodcut in Vienna 1900: Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, and the Albertina, Vienna
There are so many fabulous works to be shown, it is almost impossible for me to make a fair selection but rest assured that many images familiar to readers of Modern Printmakers will be on show alongside many that are new to me such as Nora Exner's astonishing Dog (1903), above. The exhibition quite rightly identifies L.H. Jungnickel as the most important colour woodcut artist of the period 1900 to 1910. One of his jokey hybrid images from 1910 can be seen at the top, identified as A smoking cricket by the curator, Tobias Natter. Apparently this had been erroneously given the title Smoking billy-goat. Modern Printmakers begs to differ. As I pointed out in http://haji-b.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/lh-jungnickel-origin-of-species.html, the artist was a humourist and prone to come up with animals not currently known to zoology and this is one of his droll hybrids.
Unlike Jungnickel, important galleries and curators are in the habit of taking themselves rather seriously and this show is no exception. As always with colour woodcut they claim to have made a re-discovery, largely based on the fact that the subject has been neglected by art history. Even in art historical terms, ten years is a short time, but Natter, whose idea it was, is a specialist. It concerns itself only with artists associated with the early days of the Vienna Secession, some of whom were also teachers at the Kunstgewerbeshcule in Vienna and worked for the Wiener Werkstaette so artists who took part in the wider printmaking movement are not included. All the same, Hugo Henneberg's striking Night scene - blue pond (1904) was also new to me, so there will be a lot that is worth seeing on display.
Not surprisingly, the show is filled out with a good deal of other graphic art, notably from periodicals like Ver Sacrum and the famous square calendars and also examples of Japanese colour woodcut. It also includes examples of linocut and Jungnickel's schablonenspritztechnik but here instead are three of his loony parrots from 1909. All of these would be hard for any curator to resist but here is the additional problem with a show that willingly limits itself to a period of only about ten years: a need to fill the exhibition out with work that was produced at the time but is of more academic interest. The prints of Carl Moll and Jungnickel's stencil spray technique have both been covered on Modern Printmakers but I can't say I get excited about either. Moll is rather dry as Secession artists go and schablonenspritztechnik is quirky rather than original and ran counter to Jungnickel's real talent for design and colour and ends up making him look like some also-ran impressionist. More to the point is an image like Irwin Lang's uncompromising Girl in red dress, below. This is more like it. Be there, or be square.

WATCH: Nearly Naked Steven Tyler and Topless Woman Gallivanting in Hawaii
A couple driving along a Hawaiian road never expected to see Steven Tyler in a Jeep right behind them. And they certainly never expected to see him nearly-naked and standing in an open-top Jeep with a topless woman and singing at the top of his lungs. But they did, and TMZ has the video.

Spiced Cardamom Cookies
When richly spiced cardamom cookies, scented with allspice and cloves, are pressed with wood-grain and scallop patterns and cut into the shapes of trees and reindeer, they create a charming woodland fantasy in each box.
- Yield: Makes 60 assorted trees and reindeer or 108 small stars
Photography: Mike Krautter
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2008
- 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
- 1 cup dark-brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, allspice, pepper, and cloves in a large bowl. Place butter in a mixer bowl. Bring sugars, corn syrup, and water to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour hot sugar mixture over butter, then beat on low speed until combined.
Beat cream, egg, and vanilla in a bowl, then add to butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Divide dough into thirds, and flatten each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic, and refrigerate overnight (or freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out 1 disk between lightly floured parchment to 1/8-inch thickness. Alternatively, the dough can be rolled out to 1/16-inch thickness for a crisper cookie. Place a lightly floured plastic faux-bois mat on dough, pattern side down. With rolling pin, lightly roll over mat to imprint dough. Carefully remove mat. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining disks.
Cut out shapes with holiday cookie cutters. (Alternatively, use tree template: Copy onto card stock, enlarging 200 percent. Cut out, place over dough, and cut along edge with the tip of a paring knife.) Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets, grouping similar sizes together and spacing them 1 inch apart. Roll out and cut scraps once. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. (If making small cookies, start checking after 8 minutes.) Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

Arsenal are the only English club still in with a shout of winning all four trophies but Arsène Wenger will only have eyes for the Carling Cup on Tuesday night.
The Frenchman has rotated his squad effectively in January to stay in the Premier League title hunt and advance to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. A glamour tie with Barcelona awaits in the Champions League next month but before all that Arsenal have a chance to book their place in a Wembley showpiece.
To do so they must overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit in their Carling Cup Semi-Final against Ipswich Town and Wenger does not want any distractions when his team get down to business against the Championship side.
"I want to do well for the Club in every single competition," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online. "To go to the Final we need to produce a very good game tomorrow [Tuesday] night and that is what I am focused on.
"What it means or not in my head is not important at all. I think this team is on a fantastic run, it has a great spirit, a great quality, and I want them to go as far as they can. That is the only important thing at the moment - to mobilise our resources in every single game. That is where our future lies."
Much has been made of Arsenal using success in the Carling Cup as a 'springboard' for greater success in the future. That happened back in 1987 when George Graham's Littlewoods Cup winners went on to lift the title twice in the next four years but Wenger prefers not to predict the future.
"I don't know [if one trophy will lead to another]," he said. "We want to win everything and at the moment tomorrow is the Carling Cup so we go for the Carling Cup. Sunday is the FA Cup so we go for the FA Cup.
"At the end of the season we will see whether we have won trophies but at the moment I think the most important [thing] is to live the moment for us, and not to be looking forward too much."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Cadillac STS Forum - 2005 through 2012 Discussion, What the STS SHOULD have looked like. in Past Cadillac Vehicle Discussion; Originally Posted by Caddy Man if you people like the CTS so damn much, why not just go buy a ...
Re: What the STS SHOULD have looked like.Originally Posted by Caddy Man
The DTS styling is about right. Not quite agressive, but the character of the car wasn't suppose to be in the first place. The DTS is a luxuary machine to the fullest extent, with few changes needed. When you see a DTS, you know what it's intent is, You know what it's purpose is in the lineup. Same with the CTS. The lines in the CTS says it's a sports car with few luxuary items.
But the STS......?
Is it okay if I ask you something here? I'm not trying to put you on the spot or anything like that, I just what to know what your opinion is. In fact, it's not just a question for you only, it's for the entire forum.
My question is: "When you see the current '05 STS, what kind of purpose do you feel it serves, as an everyday car?
To me, there just isn't any kind of emotional attachment to this car like there was with the '92-'04 Seville STS. There was a bond created for over ten years between the Seville STS and the owners/faithful followers. 10+ years of bonding with the STS, shouldn't be thrown out just because the heads in charge thinks the car needs a new direction all of a sudden. Changing the name is one thing, but taking away the original character of the car for more of a "low keyed, not so young anymore" (for the lack of a better way of putting it, without offending fellow posters here) approach.
I mean, come on, they took the '05 STS, and put it on prozac. I seen more character in upbeat senior citizens, than I do in this current interpetation of the STS. The lines in this new STS tell's me "older, wiser and no place to be right now", instead of "young, aggressive, and assertive". I'm not trying to say we need this STS to be like a Firehawk (IMO, the old F-bodies said "young, brash, and foolish").
The lines in the STS should say, "I'm in full control of my destiny and ready to go, right this minute". Chopper's version of the STS says just that IMO. Right now, I'm seeing "Not right now, I just don't feel like it today". Lutz and Co. seem to have felt that way instead because it's right there in the lines. It's the same with the interior for me as well, but that's probably a whole other thread to begin .

Re: What the STS SHOULD have looked like.
chopper9 what about taking the 2005 seville and putting the 98 fleetwood's tailfins and skirts on and the grille of 94 deville.If u can find the time to do it plz do it i do not know photoshop or i would have done it.
that could be the new deville.
Re: What the STS SHOULD have looked like.
Candice, i realize you were asking caddy man this but...
My thought is that it looks like the same of a deville
Long, not racy looking and looks like a big car. When, the original STS looked racy, small and fun to drive...
Heck, it even looks slow... because of that long flowing body line.

Almost coupe like, great lines... small sporty looking ^^^
Long sedan... non aggresive
Re: What the STS SHOULD have looked like.
Aw man, just seeing those two pictures, brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for responding JefferyG.
I was looking at pictures of the STS from '89 to the current model and the more I looked at this new car, it started to remind me of another car, the Toyota Avalon/ Lexus 400. Showed a picture of the new STS to my dad, he was disappointed. Said it looked like a cross between the CTS and DeVille. He didn't like the shape too well, too long and the curves didn't help much. he saw Chopper's pic and loved it. It was moreless of what he was expecting as the new STS. Mind you, he's almost 50 yrs old. My mom liked the face of the car, but said that the rear end looked like my aunt's car. Guess what kind of car my aunt drives?
A Toyota Avalon.
So I guess it runs in the family .
I also notice how the wheels make the body look sluggish and heavy. Since when was the STS sluggish and heavy?
Re: What the STS SHOULD have looked like.
I cant believe it, the 05 STS is actually shorter than the one before, and taller...but has a longer wheel base.
Look at the specs:
2004 Old STS
Wheelbase 112.2 in.
Front track 62.7 in.
Rear track 62.4 in.
Length 201 in.
Width 74.7 in.
Height 55.4 in.
2005 New STS
Wheelbase 116.4 in.
Front track 61.8 in.
Rear track 62.3 in.
Length 196.3 in.
Width 74.7 in.
Height 57.6 in.
It just looks freakishly long in the photos.. they tricked us again!

Penny Wong is Minister for Climate Change in Australia, and the first openly lesbian appointed to a position in the Cabinet. However, although she values being a lesbian, Ms. Wong supports her party's program which opposes same sex marriages. "The party's position is very clear, this is an institution that is between a man and a woman." She apparently does not see any conflict in being a lesbian, enjoying that life style, but opposing allowing gays and lesbians to marry and enjoy legal protections that come with such status. The institution of marriage also allows couples to get joint medical insurance, secure financial benefits that accrue when husband and wife file tax returns as well as the pride in allowing their children to recognize their parents are legally married.
Sorry, Ms. Wong, you are on the wong side in this issue. Stand up for all lesbians and gays and quit mouthing cliches about my party, right or wrong.

WATERLOO, N.Y. (AP) _ A Maryland man is charged with sexually abusing two young girls he was acquainted with while living in Seneca County earlier this year.
Seneca County sheriff's officials say 43-year-old John Wilson is accused of repeatedly abusing the 7- and 8-year-old girls in the Seneca County town of Waterloo during the spring and summer.
He has since moved to Waldorf, Md.
Wilson was arrested Monday in Rochester and appeared in Waterloo Town Court, where he was assigned a public defender. Bail was set at $25,000 cash or $50,000 bond.
The judge also issued orders of protection for the girls.
A woman who identified herself as Wilson's mother when reached by phone in Maryland described the charges as ``trumped up'' but declined further comment.

5 Pop Superstars Who Got Their Start On YouTube
Further proof that the only thing standing between you and international superstardom is about 80 billion "likes." (Thumbs up if u agree.) Whether you're blasting the latest chart-topping single or YouTube's next pop prodigy, hear these artists the way they intended you to with the powerful sound of Beats by Dre headphones.
1. Justin Bieber
Twenty billion shrieking tweens can't be wrong…right? Before this Canada-bred pop sensation stormed the Top 40 billboards, he was known to net-savvy viewers simply as YouTube user kidrauhl — a far cry from the bubble-gum wunderkind plastered across every pre-teen's bedroom walls from here to Tiananmen Square. In fact, the moppy-haired heartthrob still ranks as YouTube's premier viral heavy-hitter, with his debut single, "Baby," sitting atop a staggering 789 million views. And counting.
2. Psy
Argument #5,382 for the impending Mayan Apocalypse: a pudgy, bow-tied pop punchline conquered the international charts where a literal army of long-legged divas couldn't. Sure, the cross-country K-pop invasion has slowly been infiltrating social media sites for years now, but all it took from 34-year-old artist Psy was a single video — and one very goofy dance — before an entire nation knew his name. While it's true that Psy had a small, if unremarkable career on South Korean shores before his breakout success across the pond, it was the wonderfully weird YouTube video for "Gangnam Style" that sealed his place as a bona fide pop phenomenon, racking up close to 470 million views. Countdown until your parents learn the Gangnam dance: 5…4…3…
3. Lana Del Rey
Long before she pioneered the fields of dancing on things and staring poutily, Lana "Lizzy Grant" Del Rey was just another another aspiring indie songstress, uploading ditties to her YouTube account and trolling for social media shares. But there was something about "Video Games," her soulful, sonorous single about ignored affection, that struck a chord with the YouTube community — no strangers to shrugging off responsibility for a quick game of StarCraft. It's since earned close to 50 million hits and landed the self-titled "sadcore" singer a lucrative record deal, international acclaim, and, perhaps most importantly, undisputed Tumblr fame.
4. Karmin
Despite dropping their debut EP to little fanfare, netizens took notice when collaborative couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan released a string of impeccable pop covers on their joint YouTube channel. While early efforts did well enough, the duo skyrocketed to mainstream notoriety with their clever take on club staple "Look At Me Now," launching the twosome from their YouTube roots to headlining as musical guests on Saturday Night Live and Ellen. Now they've got two #1 singles, a Rolling Stone cover, and have been officially noted as "the only good thing to ever come from a Chris Brown song." Or maybe just those first two things.
5. Charice
If every viral video sensation followed Filipina superstar Charice's career path, we'd be seeing a whole lot more corgis, pugs, and dwarf kittens mangling pop hits on Glee. As odd as it may seem, this singing sensation's success was kind of an incidental result of one super-fan's infatuation: YouTube user FalseVoice, who uploaded a string of Charice's performances to his channel over the course of 2007. YouTubers and record execs dropped their collective jaws at the pint-sized singer's stellar soprano pipes, and Oprah even descended from the heavens above to tote her as "the most talented girl in the world." Now she's collabing with the likes of Bruno Mars and assorted Jonas bros, co-starring in feature films with Kevin James, and belting lead vocals for one of the most popular video game series of all time.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
June Tabor
Tabor's first high-profile project was a duet album with Steeleye Span's Maddy Prior in the 1970s (the duo dubbed themselves the Silly Sisters for the occasion). An all-star cast of some of the leading lights of the British folk scene supported the singers, including Martin Carthy, Nic Jones, and Andy Irvine. For her own albums and tours she has worked with outstanding guitarists, most notably Jones and Martin Simpson. She's also trodden into folk-rock waters with Fairport Convention (with whom she's guested on-stage) and Oysterband (with whom she collaborated on a 1990 album).
Her 1994 album Against the Streams found her still at her peak, interpreting both traditional tunes and efforts by modern-day composers, including Elvis Costello and Richard Thompson. Subsequent efforts include Singing the Storm (1996), Aleyn (1997), Quiet Eye (2000), Rosa Mundi (2001), Echo of Hooves (2003), At the Wood's Heart (2005), and Apples (2007). In 2011 Tabor released Ashore, a conceptual seafaring album that included a cover of Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding" as well as reworkings of two of her more memorable songs, "Finisterre" and "The Grey Funnel Line." Also that year, Tabor re-teamed with Oysterband for Ragged Kingdom. In 2013, Tabor collaborated with saxophonist Iain Ballamy and pianist Huw Warren for the album Quercus on ECM. ~ Richie Unterberger

Nutritionists call omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids "essential" fats for good reason. The human body needs them for many functions, from building healthy cells to maintaining brain and nerve function. Our bodies can't produce them. The only source is food.
These polyunsaturated fats are important for another reason. There's growing evidence that they help lower the risk of heart disease. Some studies suggest these fats may also protect against type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and age-related brain decline.
Omega-6 mostly comes as linoleic acid from plant oils such as corn oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil, as well as from nuts and seeds. The American Heart Association recommends that at least 5% to 10% of food calories come from omega-6 fatty acids.
Omega-3s come primarily from fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna, as well as from walnuts and flaxseed in lesser amounts.
Scientists are still debating the optimal amount of fat in a healthy diet, as well as the best proportion of omega-6s and omega-3s. For now, there are several simple changes most of us could make to take advantage of their substantial health benefits.
1. Switch from Butter and Cream to Unsaturated Oils
Saturated fats, which come mostly from animal sources, raise LDL, the form of cholesterol that clogs arteries. Unsaturated fats from vegetable oils, nuts, and fish can help lower cholesterol levels.
"Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats is still one of the healthiest changes most Americans can make," says Jeannie Gazzaniga-Moloo, PhD, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association."
Examples of simple ways to make the switch include:
- Sautéing in canola or other vegetable oil instead of butter
- Drizzling olive oil or another flavorful oil over vegetables
- Dipping bread in olive oil instead of spreading it with butter
- Using non-hydrogenated margarine in place of butter
- Making cream sauces with low-fat yogurt
- Favoring oil-based salad dressings over creamy dressings
2. Add Nuts to the Menu
Nuts abound in omega-3s and omega-6s, which may explain why they have been shown to help protect against heart disease. In a 2010 analysis of four studies, researchers found that a weekly serving of nuts lowered the risk of dying of coronary heart disease by an impressive 8.3%.
Nuts make a satisfying and convenient snack, of course, but they're also a great addition to meals.
- Stir-fries with cashews or almonds
- Salads topped with walnuts
- Pesto sauce made with ground walnuts
- Baked chicken or trout with toasted almonds

A friend at work recently emailed me some photos from a fashion shoot that was in Vogue Italia in 2000. It wasn't the bikinis he was pointing out, but the fantastic location. (You can see the rest of the shoot at Make the World a Prettier Place).
The Sun Room
The drawing room
Reproductions of some of the furnishings, such as this rose chest and the marchasite fabric hanging behind it, are available to purchase from the Duquette website. Be warned though, the marchasite fabric, which I love, is $138 a metre!
The master bedroom
This is an alcove in one of the bedrooms, with a little sofa and a mirror which reflects the wild garden outside.
The Green Dining Room
Duquette grew up in Los Angeles, and received scholarships to both the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, and the Yale School of the Theatre. In the early 1940s, he met Lady Elsie de Wolfe Mendle, an famous socialite and interior designer, who became his patron. With her backing, he became one of the leading designers in Los Angeles, creating costumes and sets for Fred Astaire musicals with Vincente Minnelli at MGM. He also designed sets for operas and ballets, and created interiors for the rich and famous, including Mary Pickford, Elizabeth Arden and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Duquette was a talented painter, sculptor and jeweller. He created many stunning pieces of jewellery for Elsie de Wolfe, and in the 80s he designed jewellery for Tom Ford at Gucci. He was the first American to be honored with a one-man show at the Louvre in 1951.
Dawnridge was not the only house the Duquettes created. 'Sortilegium', high in the Malibu mountains was another stunning residence which they purchased in the 1950s and spent the next 30 years renovating and decorating. Unfortunately it was destroyed in the fires of 1993, although you can see photos of the interior and gardens here.

Comparative Effectiveness Review Summaries Get a New Look, Expanded Product Line
Re-designed consumer guide, "'ACE Inhibitors' and 'ARBs' to Protect Your Heart?"
Summary products and guides from the Effective Health Care (EHC) Program sport a new look this spring following a collaborative redesign by the John M. Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science and the Office of Communication and Knowledge Transfer at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The aesthetic changes increase attractiveness and ease of product recognition for the consumer and clinician guides and policymaker summaries — all of which are created as easy-to-read contextual summaries of systematic reviews.
The traditional look of the guides, which emphasized the Effective Health Care Program colors of blue and orange, now use a full-color print scheme. Full-color Consumer guides provide a brighter, more inviting visual experience to patients and caregivers. Clinician and policymaker guides will each be assigned one of the four primary colors for quick product recognition. Both the clinician and policymaker guides can now be identified by the priority and secondary condition addressed in the research for easy filing and selection.
In addition to the aesthetic changes, the EHC Program has also added several new summary products, including a set of slides for medical faculty members who wish to teach a lesson on the comparative effectiveness research findings, as well as a fully accredited online continuing medical education (CME) activity for clinicians who want to study the findings for CME credit. A set of faculty slides and CME products will be available on the "Guides for Clinicians" page of the EHC Program Web site, along with printed and online summary products with the new design and colors, in late spring.

Need help cleaning up a paint job.
I've got a bmw I'm wanting to paint. The car was in a wreck where the fender was ripped off. The hood corner was slightly dented and will have to be filled a little.
Car is jet black....
The replacement fender is also factory black.
The trunk has a bubble in it from a previous paint job.
The door edge has chips in it
The door side has 1 chip in it
The hood in the corner will have to be matched in the corner right over the headlight.....the hood damage is at the corner over the headlight and is straight. The sheet metal was pushed down some but the lines are correct. I have a stud puller to get it almost perfect.
What is the best way to clean this paint job up? How much paint will be needed?
How much clear will be needed.
What brand should I go with. I'm trying to stay around $700 for paint and clear. I have all the materials already.
Will post pics if that helps but the description is pretty accurate
Depending on where the chips are and how big they are you may need to paint the adjacent panel to "blend" the color making it match. This goes for the trunk lid as well, if there is "bubble" it is likely the whole thing is failing thus you would have to paint the quarters to make it all match. It is sounding like a complete to me with the info you have given and what COULD be needed. I could be a mile off but when you start talking about multiple panels, doing a complete to simplify things comes real quick.
And so you know, there is no such thing as "black" auto paint. So don't think "it's just black" and it would match. "Black" on a car is going to be extremely dark red, blue or brown, that is what "black" is and there is formula to mix up that black on your car just the same as if it were blue or red. A mismatched black stands out horrible just as a mismatched blue or red.
Maybe some photos would be of help.
Can you recommend paint brand that is durable and quality.
My paint codes for th black is 668
Code for bumper trim is 354.
Also....how much paint for this re spray. A pint should be good for the trim
How much clear and base?
I have some spi epoxy primer but its 3 years old.
Another question. My wheels need paint as well. The stuff people use is wurth spray paint. They then use wurth spray clear. This doesn't seem quality to me. Is ther a clear I can put over this lacquer that will last. It's said to be be only try wheel paint that matches. It's used or ll German wheels
My paint job was a mess. The car was wrecked at some point with a used door and passenger side quarter panel included in the repairs. The door is silver and the quarter is white. The car was resprayed black over these two colors.
The door trim was never removed during the respray.
The trunk had a dime sized bubble in the paint.
Orange peel everywhere on he lower part of the panels.
Paint chipping on door edge and one on the quarter panel exposing the white and silver paint below. The door Handle has large chip under it exposing the silver.
Small pin holes on the A pillar show rust
The cars clear is sanded flat right now with 800..... No orange peel left.
Clear where the bubble was was sanded to the base.
I would like to fix the chips......the low spots where I'm into the base.....,and then rebase an re clear th whole car.
What's the steps here
I sanded into the base in some spots. I had to go deep into the base to sand out some paint that was bubbled up. I sanded it till it was flat and the bubble was gone.
Now I need to repaint and clear this spot.
Do I need to build this spot back up with primer or base paint to get it back to even with the rest of the panel?
Second question. Is clear sanded with 800 grit good enough to lay more base onto or should I go with 600 or a red scotch bright pad
im trying to get these pictures to work. for some reason they wont load from flickr

this is my first try at repairing paint
those two specs in that flat panel are paint chips. first picture
there is a layer of clear and black base that's chipped out. the under layer is clear and silver that was scuffed. its not into the primer. i have several spots like this. the door edges you see in the 4th picture and one of the gas tank filler door opening
the 2nd picture is bare metal and has to be re painted and primered. the metal was curved but was flattened and dented. i pulled it back out some with the stud puller. it will need filler. can i put filler here
the third is the plastic bumper. large spider cracks were sanded out.
the 5th picture is where there was a bubble in the clear. i sanded the bubble completely out.
i will be using epoxy primer for all of this.
i will also be repainting the whole car black unless advised otherwise. as of right now the paint has all been sanded with 800 taking out all original orange peel and will be scuffed with gray scotch bright and prep paste.
i have some ideas on how to fix all of this but i really need the correct answer and correct way to build all of this back to a solid base for re spray
how do you fix this.

This has turned into a nightmare.
In the door sill, there was a chip. I took a razor blade to it to see if I could get the chip to the point where he paint was still sticking.......it peeled back and left me with a mess.
Th primer still smells wet.
I've had the car a year and a half and whoever did the paint job on it must have messed up. I didn't know it was wrecked.
Why after all this time would the primer not be dry.
None of the trim was taken off when they painted. There are clear lines where the trim was. The edges of the clear are loose

i might be in over my head with this but i started it and need to finish it.
i have several things i need to know how to do
1 fix the chipped paint
2 take out the lines of clear that were left behind the trim and where the black meets the silver
3 fill in the places where i sanded into the base to get the bubbles out
4 understand why the primer didnt dry under that paint

lots of rock chips like these.
the door edge is full of them
What series is your Beemer?
You could probably paint a 3 series convertable (jambs and all) with 2 quarts of Concept, and have paint left over. A coupe would take another pint. I would not do a base clear on a solid color (non-metalic/pearl), it's just more opportunity to get it full of garbage, and uses more material ($$$$).
As has been mentioned above, get the right color mixed according to the color code, and check any variants, pick the closest one, you'll do well.
The Beemer is a 2002 330ci
I've got all the paint according no to the codes. Now I just need to figure out how to repair it. Are you saying I should sand it all down and re paint. What else would you use besides base clear.
I want to learn blending. I have found very little on how to fix a chip in the paint.
One video showed back sanding and feathering with half inch between coats. Then filling with primer. Then spraying paint on it and clearing the whole panel after scuffing with prep paste.
With that primer still smelling wet it leads me to believe the primer should be sanded out.
One of my problems is. If that's doing it in that spot. What's the rest of the paint look like. It's my daily driver so I do need it back on the road
Just a side note, but if the paint is bubbling, it is most likely a problem under the paint. usually involving some kind of filler or glaze that has failed due to trapped water or rust forming. I would atleast sand through the base color and see what you find under it where the bubbles are. After all the chips, bubbles and other imperfections are taken care of, prime all the places you sanded through the clear with epoxy or at the very least a quality 2k urethane like Evercoat, SPI, or something similar. Once the primer dries, wet sand with 600 to finish the repair. When you feel you have the places repaired you can wet sand the entire panel with the damaged places with 600-1000 wet, then clean with wax and grease remover, tack off and start by spraying the base color on the spot only witht he first coat and then let each following coat go a little further out while "feathering" the new base into the panel. This can be done by either pulling the gun further away as you go out from the repair or by turning the gun with your wrist, just becareful not to go to far with either technique or you'll have dry spray. Once you get the base blended you can tack off the panels and apply the clear. If you have several places all over the car it would probably be easier to just 600 the whole ar wet after you get the places primed and just base and clear the whole car or use a single stage if you prefer. This is just how I would do it, but keep in mind that blending is something that takes a bit of practice to get right.
Best of luck to you. Hope something here helps you get your car looking good as new.
That helps a lot.
I'm new to blending and wish to do exactly what you said anyway.....base clear the whole car after fixing the spots.
I would like to get this right the first time.....so can I do this.....
Sand out the spots like you said....fill with spi expoxy. Sand with 600 till even then with 800 using dry guide coat. Then spray base and feather out and leave it at that.
Then wait to see if it shrinks or is un even.
After I think the substrate is even I would scuff the base and prep paste the whole car.....respray and then clear.
Will this help in getting it right the first time.
Part of this is knowing how the materials will behave. Trusting that when I spray the base and then re clear that it really will be hidden. I've seen some videos showing that it does work.
Last time it was wrapping my head around how white clear that has been scuffed turns back to see through clear when sprayed. It's trusting the stuff will work.

The Baden-Baden based producer of skin-care lines Sans Soucis, Biodroga Systems, and Futuresse, is the latest company to fall victim to the recession.
Fribad Cosmetics Group has been under new management since February, when Jürgen Vater from Coty Beauty took over as CEO. The 70 year-old company has also been under new ownership since it was sold to the Latvian-company Kolonna Group early in 2008.
