That Richard Wagner as a composer of opera was a consummate genius is something that for over a century is beyond all dispute and debate except by those of the lunatic fringe who have perpetual and ignorant objection to Wagner on other grounds. Not so well known is that by all the best firsthand accounts, Wagner was a consummate genius as an actor and stage director as well. And I think we have to add yet another consummate genius award to Wagner: as a designer of opera houses the Bayreuther Festspielhaus being eloquent testimony to that genius as the governing design concept of the building was Wagner's own. Here's Wagner himself on the Festspielhaus as it began to be built:
To explain the plan of the festival theatre now being built in Bayreuth, I believe that I cannot do better than begin with the need I felt first, namely, that of rendering invisible the technical hearth of the music: the orchestra. For this one constraint led step by step to the total redesigning of the auditorium of our neo-European theatre. Those of my readers who are familiar with some of my earlier writings will already know my thoughts on the concealment of the orchestra, and I hope that even if they had not already felt this for themselves, a subsequent visit to the opera will have convinced them of the rightness of my feeling that the constant and, indeed, insistent sight of the technical apparatus needed to produce the sound constitutes a most tiresome distraction. In my essay on Beethoven [Beethoven, 1870] I was able to explain how at thrilling performances of ideal works of music we may ultimately cease to notice this reprehensible evil as a result of the force with which all our senses are retuned, resulting, as it were, in a kind of neutralization of our sense of sight. With a stage performance, by contrast, it is a question of attuning our sense of sight to precisely apprehending an image, which can be done only by distracting it completely and by preventing it from noticing any reality than lies in between, such reality including the technical apparatus needed to produce the image in the first place.
Without actually being covered, the orchestra was therefore to be sunk so deep that the audience would look right over it and see the stage unimpeded; this in turn meant that the seating must consist in gradually ascending rows whose ultimate height would be determined only by the need for a clear view of the stage picture. As a result, our whole system of tiers of boxes was ruled out: inasmuch as the first of these boxes are located on the side walls, it would have been impossible to prevent their occupants from looking straight down into the orchestra pit. In terms of their positioning, our rows of seats thus assumed the character of a classical amphitheatre, although there could of course be no question of actually executing the traditional form of an amphitheatre that would have projected so far on either side as to produce, or even exceed, a full half-circle, for the object of which the audience needs a clear overview is no longer the Greek chorus in the classical orchestra, which was largely surrounded by the amphitheatre, but the Greek skene, which was presented to Greek audiences merely in the form of a projecting surface but which in our own particular case was to be used in all its depth. We were thus strictly bound by the laws of perspective, according to which the rows of seats might widen as they rose up but must always face the stage. As for the stage, it was the proscenium that influenced the whole of the rest of the design: the actual frame of the stage picture necessarily became the starting point for this arrangement. My demand that the orchestra be made invisible proved an inspiration to the famous architect whom I was initially privileged to consult on this matter, encouraging this man of genius to find a use for the empty space that arose in this way between the proscenium and the rows of seats in the auditorium: we called it the 'mystic abyss' because its function was to separate reality from ideality, and the architect closed it off at the front with a second, wider proscenium. Thanks to the relation between this second proscenium and the narrower one behind it, he was immediately able to promise the most wonderful illusion that makes the actual events onstage appear to be further away, persuading the spectator to think that the action is very remote, while allowing him to observe that action with the clarity of actual proximity. In turn this gives rise to a second illusion, allowing the figures onstage to appear to be of larger, superhuman size. The success of this arrangement should alone be sufficient to give an idea of the incomparable impact of the audience's new relation to the stage picture. Having taken his seat, the spectator now find himself in a veritable theatron, in other words, in a space that exists for no other purpose than for looking, and looking, moreover, in the direction in which his seat points him. Between him and the picture that he is to look at, nothing is plainly discernible except for a sense of distance held, as it were, in a state of suspension due to the architectural relationship between the two proscenia, the stage picture appearing in consequence to be located in the unapproachable world of dreams, while the music, rising up spectrally from the 'mystic abyss' and as such resembling the vapors ascending from Gaia's sacred primeval womb beneath the Pythia's tripod, transports him to that inspired state of clairvoyance in which the stage picture that he sees before him becomes the truest reflection of life itself. A difficulty arose in respect of the importance to be given to the side walls in the auditorium: unbroken by any boxes, they presented a flat expanse that could not be brought into any meaningful relationship with the rising rows of seats. The famous architect who was initially entrusted with the task of building the theatre along monumental lines found a solution to the problem by using all the resources of architectural ornament in the noblest Renaissance style, causing the bare surfaces to disappear and turning them into a fascinating feast for the eyes. For our temporary festival theatre in Bayreuth we were forced to renounce all thought of similar decorations, which have no meaning unless the material itself is noble and precious, once again raising the question of what we should do with these side walls, which were so out of keeping with the actual auditorium. A glance at the first of the plans ... shows us an oblong narrowing towards the stage and forming the actual space for the audience. It is bounded by two side walls that run in straight lines towards the proscenium - an arrangement made unavoidable by the building as such - and that produce an unsightly wedge-shaped area, which could in fact have been conveniently used for steps giving access to the seats. In order to render as innocuous as possible the surface that was opened up in this way on either side of the proscenium and that ruined the overall impression, my present adviser had with his customary inventiveness already hit on the idea of adding a third proscenium, even wider and further forward than the other two. Much taken by the excellence of this idea, we soon went a stage further and found that, to do full justice to the idea of an auditorium narrowing in true perspective towards the stage, we should have to extend the process to the whole interior, adding proscenium after proscenium until they culminated in the gallery that crowns the whole design, thereby enclosing the audience itself within this proscenic perspective, no matter where they may be sitting. For this we devised a series of columns that mirrored the first proscenium and that grew further apart the further they rose, delimiting the rows of seats and deceiving us as to the straight lines of the side walls behind them. Between them, finally, the necessary stairs and entrances were effectively concealed. With this we ultimately settled all our internal arrangements, as indicated in the accompanying plans. As we were building a merely temporary theatre and therefore had to bear in mind only the functionality of its interior furnishings and fittings in keeping with its underlying idea, it was bound to be a source of relief that the outward form of the theatre, reflecting its internal functionality in a spirit of architectural beauty, did not fall within our remit. Nor, indeed, could it do so if the project was to go ahead at all. Even if we had had at our disposal a more precious material than our estimates allowed and had been able to erect a monumental building of ostentatious ornamentalism, we should have shied away from our task and been obliged to look round for help, which we would certainly not have found so quickly. This, then, was the newest, the most unusual and, not having been attempted before, the most difficult problem for the architect of the present (or the future?) to solve. The limited resources at our disposal compelled us to use only what was purely functional and necessary to achieve our objective: but our aim and objective lay solely in the relationship between the auditorium and a stage of the largest dimensions necessary for installing the most perfect scenery. Such a stage needs to be three times the height seen by the audience, since the complex sets placed upon it have to be lowered beneath the stage as well as raised above it. As a result, the stage, unlike the auditorium, needs to rise to twice its height above the actual stalls. If it is merely this functional need that is taken into account, the result is a conglomerate of two buildings of the most disparate shape and size. In order to conceal as far as possible the disparity between them, most architects working on our newer theatres have been concerned to raise the auditorium to a significant degree, while adding empty spaces above it that are intended to be used as scenery-painting workshops or as administrative offices but which on account of their extreme inconvenience are seldom used at all. In this, architects have been helped by the tiers of boxes randomly rising inside the auditorium and reaching excessive heights, the topmost tiers even rising well beyond the height of the stage as they were meant only for the poorer classes on whom architects thought nothing of inflicting the inconvenience of a hazy bird's-eye view of events taking place in the stalls far beneath them. But these tiers have been banished from our own theatre, where no architectural need can persuade us to gaze upwards over vast walls, as is the case in Christian cathedrals. The opera houses of the past were constructed on the principle of an unbroken roof-ridge, which meant that they assumed the form of elongated boxes, a primitive example of which may be found in the Royal Opera House in Berlin. Here the architect had to worry about only a single facade, that of the main entrance, at the narrow end of a building whose longer sides tended to be tucked away between the houses of a street, thus removing them completely from view. I believe that in acting so disingenuously and in responding to the dictates of sheer need, our task of building an outwardly artless temporary theatre placed on an open, elevated site has also brought us closer to a clearer statement of the problem that is actually involved here. This problem now lies before us, naked and well defined, and it shows us, in the most tangible manner possible, what we should understand by a theatre building that is also to express externally the purpose for which it is designed, a purpose which, far from being vulgarly commonplace, is altogether ideal. The main section of this building contains the infinitely complex technical machinery needed to stage performances of the greatest possible perfection, whereas its entrance is no more than a kind of covered courtyard whose function is simply to accommodate those persons for whom the performance onstage is about to acted out. To us it seems as if this simple aim, which we were obliged to express in our own building with the greatest possible clarity, uninfluenced by buildings such as palaces, museums and churches that are designed for quite different ends, has been encapsulated and expressed in the most uncomplicated manner, presenting the genius of German architecture with a challenge that is not unworthy of it and which may indeed be the only task that it is uniquely placed to solve. But if it be thought that because of the inevitable grand facade the main purpose of the theatre must be concealed by wings for balls, concerts and the like, we shall no doubt for ever remain in thrall to the unoriginal ornaments that are usual in these cases; our sculptors and carvers will continue to draw their inspiration from Renaissance motifs with their vapid, unintelligible figures and ornaments - and ultimately everything will end up just as it is in present-day opera houses, whence the question that is even now the one that is put to me most frequently: do I really need a special theatre of my own? But those who have rightly understood me will be bound to realize that even architecture might acquire a new significance thanks to the spirit of music on the basis of which I planned my work of art and the place of its performance and that the myth of a city built by Amphion's lyre has not yet lost its meaning. [...] May it stand there on the delightful hill outside Bayreuth.And although presently put to corrupted use, so it does to this very day.


text: Annette, thanks, I have an SBB on the hive and I was going to leave it open all year for ventilation. I have a migratory cover which I was going to replace with an inverted solid bottom board as a cover to provide ventilation. I was going to put an entrance reducer on both, with the largest opening, the bottom to help keep out mice and the top to help keep out rain. What do you think? Regarding the small cell, I think Micheal is saying that trying to use two sizes of foundation is too limiting and too hard to administer. Next spring I want to checkerboard the hive to prevent swarming and I would like to use the small cell for some of the empty frames. How many of the small cell should I use to begin the regression do you think? I planned to do this this coming weekend. I'll message you about getting together to look at the hive. I'd like to know if I left out something important in preparing for the winter. Thanks again.

This year it was one of those January weeks when some of those degrees that went south in November crept back up to the mountains to see what was shakin'. This ocasionally happens and brings various feelings; an early taste of spring, a joyfull mid-winter reprieve, less than ideal skiing or snowshoeing, or a muddy mess. For the the handful that ran yesterday the smiles lead me to believe there was still plenty of fun and beauty enjoyed.

Productive multi-smashing of acrylics/
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories,
instead of theories to suit facts."
― Arthur Conan Doyle
the smashed exacompta
a bonus smashed art journal background on watercolor paper
a bonus smashed index card
smashing details
If you are going to smash paints, you might as well multi-task. So I smashed pages in the exacompta, a loose art journal background and an index card or three. For the exacompta pages, I actually started with a layer of peachy paint, then played around with the japanese brush I found at the craft store, with dry brushes of black paints on the first layer. When I started smashing, it sort of rubbed off some of the black dry brush marks which was a neat effect but I'm not sure I could replicate it!
Smashing is seriously messy. Use protection.
This is my art for day TWO of Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day. Pop over, there is still time to join!

Pacifica: Nicole has left the building
Pacifica historian Matthew Lasar reports that Nicole Sawaya, selected as ED for Pacifica Radio two months ago, is already gone. Repost from Lasar's Letter on the FCC (LLFCC)
Nicole Sawaya quits [sigh]
by Matthew Lasar Dec 13 2007
LLFCC is dismayed and embarrassed to report that Nicole Sawaya has resigned, following a very brief tenure as Executive Director of the Pacifica radio network.
What happened? Without going into all the details, Sawaya found the level of internecine dysfunction at Pacifica overwhelming, and fled her job.
LLFCC will not conceal its chagrin at this development. The author of this blog had high hopes for Sawaya, but they were obviously too high. Her quick departure reminds us that there are no saviors, no simple solutions to complex problems. And Pacifica radio is always a complex problem.
LLFCC also regrets not acknowledging something important when Sawaya accepted the position: despite the unfortunate denouement, the Pacifica National Board (PNB) deserves great credit for having unanimously approved her hiring. Sawaya made it clear during her interviews that she wanted to do radio, not spend her days putting out office politics fires. That the board responded favorably to this stance gives LLFCC hope, even now.
Pacifica remains in a perilous situation, however. It is pursuing an ambitious experiment in media democracy in a hostile external environment, with inadequate resources, and without the help of significant forces that rhetorically supported the Pacifica Revolution of 2001 but are now nowhere to be found.
And the organization is besieged by zealots whose vision of Pacifica boils down to a public access network that doles out air time to whoever screams the loudest at a four hour meeting.
But there are new voices entering into this debate at the various Pacifica stations; tough, smart people, not afraid of the mob. And somewhere out there is a creative, young someone, a leader who sees this merry mess as a opportunity. Without holding out for yet another savior, LLFCC hopes that person arrives soon.

Nothing can be so heartbreaking and gives endless headaches to celebrities than negative publicity and tainted public image that damages their reputation. A bad reputation has the consequence of making stars lose confidence, self-esteem and have far-reaching implications on their career. In this digital era, the rate at which information spreads in various online sources and social media is extremely rapid. Online reputation management therefore, becomes indispensable to celebrities to protect their image. Online reputation is an art; it involves monitoring how you are viewed online and what information about you is available in the search engines.
Many factors shape celebrity online reputation. The content they post on social media, for instance, is viewed and read by many. Also, discussions they hold with other parties and reviews posted on the website by others can profoundly build or destroy celebrity reputation. To ensure they protect and manage their online reputation. Therefore, celebrities engage the services of experienced reputation management and PR firms. These companies not only monitor what is being said about their clients but also shape their client's image online.
When celebrities realize false, misleading or embarrassing information about them on the internet, they through their reputation management firms apply various techniques to counteract and conceal the damaging content. Some of the techniques include:
- Responding to negative information: when celebrities note negative information is being said about them on social networks, forums, and other online sources, they are advised to respond directly. Responding directly is always viewed as the best strategy to put things straight. This is believed by PR firms to turn a negative view into a positive review.
- Carefully monitoring online search results about the celebrity: by closely following available information online about them, the reputation management firm can be able to act quickly whenever potentially damaging information is posted. The common way is to set a Google alert to monitor the client's online presence.
- Privacy: confidentiality of celebrity's sensitive information is a powerful weapon in protecting their reputation. However, in the case of such information being leaked, reputation and PR firms will always swiftly act and get such information offline or suppressed. Also, the experts examine and remove negative information, comments, spam and other malicious content.
- Building greater online presence and optimizing websites: the PR and reputation managers help celebrities build a strong online presence by increasing traffic to their sites. Additionally, they optimize websites and social media accounts and take control of search results and ensure optimized presence in the search results.

Iraq and Jordan sign oil deal
Iraq and Jordan have signed an agreement which should safeguard all of Jordan's crude oil and oil product needs, according to broadcasting media in both countries.
And eventually, refined products will be sent back to Iraq as part of the two countries' "technical cooperation" agreement, according to the TV report.
Jordan and Iraq also aim to work on joint geological and oil studies, Channel 1 said.
Broad agreement
Iraq's oil minister, Amid Muhammad Rashid, and Jordan's energy minister, Muhammad al-Bataina, signed the oil agreement on Thursday.
The two countries described the deal as an expression of their "willingness and eagerness to develop and boost commercial and economic co-operation", according to Channel 1.
Iraq and Jordan "agreed to establish joint ventures in the industrial, trade, agricultural and services fields in order to encourage investment in both countries", Republic of Iraq Radio reported.
It said that in addition, trade fairs and markets would be organised in both countries, and a trade protocol should be raised to $310m (£196m).
Political backing
The Iraqi radio report saw Jordan's signature as a sign of broader political support and insisted that it stressed "Jordan's rejection of the aggressive threats against Iraq and reiterated the call for respecting Iraq's sovereignty, territorial integrity and regional security".
"By signing the minutes [of the Iraqi-Jordanian committee meeting], Jordan also underscores the need to lift the unjust embargo on Iraq as soon as possible," Republic of Iraq Radio said.

In early June of this year, a culture center and literary museum in
Norway had a problem. The Ivar Aasen Center of Language and Culture had
received a gift -- an archive of over 1600 books and documents,
catalogued in a database. Unfortunately, the archivist who set up the
data bank died...taking the password with him. The director of the
museum ended up appealing to hackers over a radio broadcast, asking for
help in breaking the password so they could get their own valuable
information from the database.
A few weeks ago, a woman I know sent me some mail. Her company had a
series of spreadsheets of financial information. Those spreadsheets were
on a computer that was password-protected, and the person possessing
that password had resigned from the company and left the country. They
needed their financial data immediately, but they didn't have the
password and didn't know how to get in. She needed some help.
Today, a friend was talking about a sales call he'd participated in. The
client had just installed new hardware and had to configure the switch
to acknowledge the new connection. When the client went to configure the
switch, the techs started asking each other where the password was. Who
has the password? Do you have the password? No. They didn't, and the
switch remained unconfigured.
Last year, a coworker of mine had worked as the head of security for a
small company. When he left the company, he tried to make sure he did a
knowledge transfer -- he talked to the guy taking his place, he gave the
guy all the passwords, and he instructed his replacement on the setup of
the security systems. None of it was -documented-, but he taught his
replacement as well as he could. Still, for almost a year, he was
receiving calls from his replacement asking him about little details the
replacement had forgotten or missed.
Documentation and knowledge transfers are -important-. It's crucial to
write down information necessary to the functioning of a business or a
network. In the IT world, we have the 'hit by a bus' concept -- the
worst-case scenario. If it would effectively destroy the company if a
bus hit a single person due to the fact that they are the only one who
knows how anything works, then the company has a problem.
Document procedures, policies, and operational details -before- there is
a need for them; by the time there is a need, it'll be too late. Write
down passwords, if necessary; don't store them in an electronic file,
and don't leave them lying around. Put them in a locked box, and write
them down again when they change. Make sure that more than one person
knows how to keep the company going. If a bus hits one person, make sure
the company can still go on.

Is Jennifer Lawrence Not "Hungry Enough" For The Hunger Games?
By Hollywood's ridiculous standards, Jennifer Lawrence is considered a "fat actress." Critics are calling her seductive, womanly figure a bad fit for her role as Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games, who fights for scraps of food in the series. Lawrence, who maintains a healthy and athletic frame, defends her size to be a better role model for her fans.
Lawrence has been resilient despite the criticism of Hollywood. She was recently featured on the cover of Elle magazine and was quoted saying:
"I'm never going to starve myself for the part. I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner.'"
In a separate interview, she joked at the fact that "I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors".
Setting a Good Example for Her Fans
The 22-year-old starlet refuses to abuse her body because she seemingly has no body fat to speak of. The Hunger Games series is wildly successful, and whether Katniss looks hungry enough should hardly matter to fans lining up to see the film.
Lawrence proudly rocks a beautiful and healthy frame despite the pressure of Hollywood to appear on the brink of starvation. By normal standards, she is quite thin and unquestionably gorgeous, but that doesn't seem to be enough for some Hollywood critics.
"She seems too big for co-star Josh Hutcherson," said Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere. "She's a fairly tall, big-boned lady who's maybe 5'8, and he seems to be something like 5'7. Hungry, the one constant in Katniss' hard-scrabble life, barely even seems to register."
Hopefully, Jennifer's persistence to maintain a healthy weight will change some of Hollywood's body image issues. While some actors choose to sacrifice their health for a role, like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" and Renee Zellweger in "Bridget Jones's Diary," Lawrence prefers to send a positive message to her fans.
"I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong, not thin and underfed," she told Elle.

Since the Yellow Pages first appeared in 1883, consumers have been conditioned to search for local service providers they need. Today's online review tools and directories like YP.com, Angieslist and Yelp
SmartShoot launched last week as a consumer demand service for sourcing local photographers and videographers. SmartShoot is a pivot from TurnHere, a videography service targeting SMBs with the tagline: "A 60-second custom video about your business shot at your location by a professional filmmaker in less than 90 minutes." I spoke with Justin McCarthy, CEO of Smartshoot who recently completed a management buyout of Turnhere to launch SmartShoot.
TurnHere, founded in 2005, leveraged the video marketing wave by working with resale partners like Yelp and Citysearch to help SMBs create one-minute video sales pieces. According to McCarthy, TurnHere could boast a compelling match rate, over 80% of inquiries for this short SMB video would result in a vendor solicitation. So with high engagement rates embedded in the business model, why pivot?
"We intuitively knew there was more videography and photography business out there than the one minute SMB video," said McCarthy. "We tested the 'Post a Project' button on TurnHere and discovered that 85% of the 300 projects posted were requesting everything else — weddings, recital footage — except this one minute video. Giving the consumer the option to ask gave us a look at the long tail of consumer video needs; we could see how to expand our brand without getting pigeon-holed into just one offering."
The pivot to the consumer demand model makes sense for existing companies that have established a credible product offering. Service providers will actively participate when they know the customer is ready to close by virtue of posting their project. But it works both ways. Consumers want to make sure that service providers are bona fide before they post their projects. Posting for a videographer on a horizontal collaborative consumption service like Taskrabbit may yield responses from unemployed hobbyists to professionals, and customers still need to go through vetting process. SmartShoot leverages its vertical expertise working with 16,000 rated video professionals to filter out the flakes.
The bottom line is SmartShoot's pivot expands its transaction base, and expedites a better buyer and seller match. It's not a big leap to see Angieslist and other companies with SMB portfolios, including daily deals and media companies, making the same pivot to develop new marketplaces for a variety of verticals.

Rep: Sean 'Diddy' Combs being treated after crash
FILE – This [auth] Oct. 16, 2012, file photo, shows Sean "Diddy" Combs at the National Action Network's 3rd Annual Triumph Awards in New York. Combs was a passenger in an SUV that was hit by another car in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012, but the hip-hop and fashion mogul was not taken to a hospital. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP, File)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sean "Diddy" Combs is being treated for injuries he sustained during a minor car accident in Beverly Hills, Calif.
A spokeswoman for the 42-year-old rapper-producer says he hurt his neck, ribs and collarbone in the crash Wednesday on Sunset Boulevard near the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Combs was a passenger in a Cadillac Escalade when a Lexus sedan made a left turn and collided with it. A police lieutenant said Combs complained of pain but he was not taken to a hospital at the time.
Publicist Keesha Johnson said Thursday that doctors are now treating Combs, and he is grateful for the outpouring of fan support following the accident.

Tacomans have a rare opportunity Feb. 17 to experience an art form seldom seen in these parts – flamenco. And this is the real deal, featuring accomplished artists from Spain coming to T-Town for one night only.
Local flamenco dancer Savannah Fuentes is organizing and presenting the evening, and she will perform as well along with these special guests: singer (al cante) Vicente Griego, "El Cartucho," guitarist (al toque) Juan Antonio Gomez and dancer (al baile) Adriana Maresma-Fois. A humble woman with great respect for those who commit their life to the art of flamenco, Fuentes said she is honored to be in the company those who will perform with her. "I am very honored to be working with such accomplished artists; it is an opportunity for me to learn."
A student of flamenco for 13 years (according to Fuentes, flamenco is a never ending class) she is excited to continue her mission of bringing authentic flamenco to the masses. "I always do my best to try and expose flamenco to people who wouldn't normally see it," she said.
"People may have preconceptions about flamenco, and I'm hoping to break those with these artists. It's really an experience; it covers that full spectrum of human emotion – it's intense. Good flamenco can make you cry."
This will be Fuentes' third show in Tacoma and she has had success at all of them. New Frontier Lounge has been her venue of choice, its intimate atmosphere a perfect complement to the passion flowing from the performers to the audience. "I'm really thankful to the owner, Neil (Harris)," Fuentes said. "It's really about the art, and he sees that."
Flamenco is made up of three components. The first and foremost is singing, or cante in Spanish. "It's the soul," Fuentes explained, noting that it is rare to find skilled flamenco singers in America. "I feel a person is born to do that, born with that voice. The singing is what fuels me and drives me as a dancer." The second component, guitar, came in to accompany the singer then someone started dancing to the rhythmic music. "This is the foundation of how it all works," Fuentes said. Quick, staccato clapping is also a big part of flamenco's fiery sound.
Fuentes discovered flamenco in Seattle with dancer Ana Montes. She continued her studies in Madrid at the famed Amor de Dios school with teachers such as La Tati, Cristobal Reyes and Belen Maya. Upon her return to Seattle, Fuentes began her studies with Maestra Sara de Luis, who blessed Fuentes with years of expert training and advice. Fuentes performs throughout the Northwest most notably with cantaor (singer) Vicente Griego, "El Cartucho," with whom she has learned a great deal.
Griego, who lives in New Mexico, has received much praise for his deep voice that seems to come from someplace within his soul. He has devoted his life to the study of cante flamenco, the art of flamenco singing. In 1992, he began touring the United States, Canada and Latin America with the Jose Greco II Flamenco Dance Company, where he was mentored by Caño Roto singer Alfonso "Veneno" of Madrid, Spain. Griego remains a pupil of acclaimed guitarist Chuscales and continues to accompany internationally renowned companies such as Yjastros, Juan Siddi Flamenco Company, Carola Zertuche's Teatro Flamenco, Martinez' Pueblo Viejo, Fanny Ara, Jesus Montoya y Pureza Flamenca and Encuentro, to name a few.
Born in Spain where he continues to reside, Juan Antonio Gomez began studying flamenco guitar at 9 years of age, and performed in his first international tour at age 11 with the group Gaditano Raiz in France. This was the beginning of many professional opportunities with great flamenco artists and companies, touring throughout Europe, South America and North America. Gomez has played for many wonderful cantaores (singers). In 2000, during the Festival de Flamenco de Jerez, he realized a huge dream working with the great bailaor (dancer) Joaquin Grilo in the production of "Jacara," which later toured for one year throughout Spain. This same year he also collaborated with the internationally known dancer Javier Baron.
From 2001 to the present, Gomez has been first guitarist and composer for the company Flamencos Enroute, based in Switzerland, which performs in theaters throughout Europe.
Bailaora (dancer), choreographer and instructor, Adriana Maresma-Fois's unique fire and elegance have marked her style and personality as a world-class flamenco dancer. Her impassioned performances and choreographies have conquered stages throughout North and South America, Asia and Europe including New York City's Metropolitan Opera, Lisboa's Gran Casino, Vancouver's Flamenco Festival, Jacob's Pillow, Andalucia Directo Television (Spain), Milan's Teatro Litta (Italy) and Zurich Teatrehaus. She has been a soloist for the company Flamencos Enroute, based in Switzerland, for the last eight years, and co-founded her own company, El Amor Brujo, based in Italy. She received her bachelor's degree in photography and dance from the University of New Mexico. She has continued growing as a professional studying in Spain at Madrid, Sevilla and Jerez (where she resides now).
Tickets to "A Tierra" are $20 and available through www.brownpapertickets.com. Learn more about Fuentes at www.flamencoarteypaz.blogspot.com.

Johnny Trigg (born 1938) is an American celebrity chef and competitor on the competitive barbecue circuit. He is a two time Grand Champion of the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational, and has appeared on TLC reality television show BBQ Pitmasters.
Johnny graduated from Cisco High School in Cisco, Texas, and afterwards went to the University of North Texas.[1] Trigg worked for Fireman's Fund Insurance Company in San Francisco as an insurance executive,[2] and retired in December 1996. He was introduced to BBQ whilst at the insurance company after he was impressed by a fellow executive's briskets, and bought his first trailer BBQ in 1984. After attending a competitive BBQ event in 1989, he entered his first BBQ event in 1990 in Denton, Texas,[1] and jokes that BBQ is his "golf game".[3] After entering contests in his home state of Texas, he began competing at Kansas City Barbeque Society events in 1999 as the prize money was better.[1] He annually enters around 45 contests each year,[4] spending between 225 and 230 days each year on the road.[1]
His BBQ team is called "Smoking Triggers",[2] and he has been nicknamed the "Godfather of BBQ" and has also been called "the New England Patriots of barbecuing".[3][5] He has twice been named the Grand Champion of the Jack Daniel's World Championship BBQ Invitational in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in 2000 and 2003.[6] It was the first occasion any competitor had won the competition more than once.[1] The event is considered to be the most prestigious championship in competitive BBQ.[7]
He appeared in the first two series of TLC reality television show BBQ Pitmasters.[2] He was one of four chefs who travelled to Kuwait to feed the US troops stationed there, cooking over a hundred briskets at each station.[2] In 2012 he was inducted into the National Barbecue Hall of Fame by the American Royal Association.[8] Johnny came back to cook in season 3 of BBQ Pitmasters. He not only placed 1st in the turkey and pork belly competition, but advanced onto the finale and became overall Grand Champion and won the title of BBQ Pitmaster.

Looks good to me for a first attempt! I see what you mean, the holster was made long enough for the full size, but you molded it for the shorter barrel. Can you re-mold the barrel part?
If it's a stupid question, it's because I know nothing about leather. How are you guys stitching them, BTW?

The Place:
Kay 'n Dave's Cantina is a chain of 3 neighborhood Mexican restaurants in West LA, with this review being for the one in Culver City. They reside somewhere between your standard cheap Mexican restaurant and fancy LA one. They proudly announce on their website "Nothing Made With Lard"--I was worried.
Their happy hour has dirt-cheap priced food ($1-5) and drinks ($3-5) and is served daily at the bar and high-top tables nearby.
Kay n Dave's in Culver City is fairly large and has seating outside facing Culver Blvd. The bar area is a little more dive-y and was fairly crowded on a Sunday afternoon. They have a pretty large bar and a good amount of high-top tables, so there was no trouble finding a seat. They had a few TVs going and the noise level was fairly high. The crowd there was pretty young. I tripped over three toddlers on the way in. This is one of the few places with a bar-like atmosphere within a restaurant, accentuated by their offerings of shots on the menu and low prices.
For happy hour, Kay n Dave's offers two margaritas (one regular, one mezcal), a few beers, wine and sangria, and tequila shots. No word on if you have to be shirtless to imbibe said shots. I got the house margarita, which was listed online for $3 but at the restaurant was $4.
The margarita came in a pretty small glass, but was about 85% tequila. Despite this, it managed to be consumable. The taste was good, especially if you are looking for something to take the edge off after a long day. It was not in the pantheon of margaritas you must try in LA, but I would definitely have it again. The strength of this drink was easily a 5 out of 5; pretty good considering the price. In terms of bang for your buck, alcohol-wise, you will not do much better.
The food offerings are mostly of the mexican variety, including tacos, burritos and quesadillas. I tried every price point: the carnitas taco ($1), the chicken mole quesadilla ($3), and the calamari ($5) (not on the online menu, but on the menu at the restaurant). They also gave out passable chips and salsa, which did less to make than the Margarita to make me believe I was in Mexico.
The taco was pretty bad--it had very little flavor and the meat was not very high quality. I'm not sure what I was expecting for $1, but I would not get it again. The chicken mole quesadilla was edible, but it had quite a bit of sauce and other various and sundry items in it that prevented it from being eaten with your hands. These extra things did not contribute greatly to the flavor and overall gave it a soupy sort of taste. It was a decent size for the price, but I would need a few house margaritas before getting it again. The calamari was pretty standard--the portion was average, the sauce was pretty good, but it was calamari at a mexican restaurant. If I had to get one food item on the menu, I would get this one again, but I wouldn't be excited about it.
Our hospitality experience at Kay n Dave's was passable. The bartenders were friendly and food was ordered and came within reasonable times, with the only hiccup being that water took quite a bit of time to refill. Another small annoyance: the waiter bringing the food didn't know who it was going to, so he would just come up and announce the food and wait for someone at the bar to react.
Go For:
- Getting hammered
- Getting hammered for cheap

One series consists of small bundles lying inside the sclerenchyma ring at the base of each of the connecting bands.
In this group of species there is no segregation of sclerenchyma into an effective tissue.
Slight keel with sclerenchyma band: sclerenchyma at margin slight.
The minute inner filaments of sclerenchyma are never continued far up the stalk, and are sometimes wanting altogether.
sclerenchyma band extending all round the lower surface just inside the thick cuticle.
The Panicums also come here, and differ according to the disposition of the sclerenchyma sheaths around the bundles.
Keel with sclerenchyma at its apex, and a small band of the same at the margins.
Girders to the primary bundles, but not very strong: marginal and other sclerenchyma faint, as is also the cuticle.
In the leaves of grasses growing in dry situations the development of sclerenchyma is generally very considerable.
sclerenchyma at tips of the ridges dense: smaller bands below: strong at margins.
A supportive tissue of vascular plants, consisting of thick-walled, usually lignified cells. Sclerenchyma cells normally die upon reaching maturity but continue to fulfill their structural purpose in the plant. There are two types of sclerenchyma cells: fiber cells and sclereids. Compare collenchyma, parenchyma.

Hi, my name is Riley Pool. I've been doing online advertising for three years years now and was able to supplement my income enough to quit my day job shortly thereafter. I've been focusing most of my efforts these last few years on lead generation for the world's largest online dating sites. I've bought traffic from many outlets, but I've done some real specific testing using the Plenty of Fish self-serve advertising platform.
I first met the people behind Plenty of Fish at Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York City. This was before their self-serve platform existed. At this time they only allowed media buys and this is one of the greatest opportunities I missed out on. Months and months later when I finally got around to contacting them to get something started, they told me the self-serve platform would be ready shortly and that they were no longer able to assist me with buying media directly on their website anymore.
You can find some of the older, public Plenty of Fish case studies I've done on RileyPool.com. I've done case studies testing the different effects your CPM bid would have on your ctr and conversion rates, usefulness of the session depth criteria and used their conversion tracking feature to find profitable criteria and to weed out non-converting targeting options, which POF users clicked on ads and which ones converted and quality of POF's mobile inventory which, unfortunately, is no longer available.

It's a corporate direction, not local a local decision. Some stores don't do what they should, based on many things. But they can be called to the carpet on it, if it comes up. But, it may simply never come up. Especially if your local folks do not want it to. Why would they call to complain about something that makes them happy?
Spend your money how you want. If you feel the need to have a bazillion rounds in the basement, so be it. I suggest you store it with the bazillion rolls of toilet paper and bazillion cans of Spam.
As for my guys not telling me when ammo comes in, it's pretty much a game now... I have some ammo here, and I don't get to the range as much as I should. I likely won't be buying much more. But I did just buy a Mini 14, so 223 might become necessary soon... And in truth, one of the core beliefs of WalMart is that we are in business to suit the needs of our customer. Customers get first crack at it, in my book.

When we think of African American popular music, our first thought is probably not of double-dutch: girls bouncing between two twirling ropes, keeping time to the tick-tat under their toes. But this book argues that the games black girls play --handclapping songs, cheers, and double-dutch jump rope--both reflect and inspire the principles of black popular musicmaking.
The Games Black Girls Play illustrates how black musical styles are incorporated into the earliest games African American girls learn--how, in effect, these games contain the DNA of black music. Drawing on interviews, recordings of handclapping games and cheers, and her own observation and memories of gameplaying, Kyra D. Gaunt argues that black girls' games are connected to long traditions of African and African American musicmaking, and that they teach vital musical and social lessons that are carried into adulthood. In this celebration of playground poetry and childhood choreography, she uncovers the surprisingly rich contributions of girls' play to black popular culture.
