8:00 am
I listen to hums of 70 degree air conditioned whispers.
Playful, chirping birds swing across damp meadows
Under humidity's gentle fog
'Tis a silent morning, 5 days in the making
A gentle reflection upon my minutes,
Absorbing breaths of home
So much laughter
So much joy
So much food
Even a miniscule side of frustration's true colors,
Amusing attempts to sludge my momentum
My friends made themselves known.
The others become answered insignificance.
My beating heart couldn't be more grateful.
My pupils reflect upon final nights' splendor,
While they write lessons upon life's chalkboard
Fury of Salsa & Disco beats
Pulsate across my spongy cerebellum
Holding hands with my Mother in proprietary motions
The whites of my eyes become silver injected pools of serenity.
What more could I ask for?
I listen for 8 & 4 year old footsteps to silently speak
Exacerbated adoration, filling my smile with electric permanence
In these silent, reflecting moments before I pack my bag, my soul's window
…I await aromas of a Puerto Rican brunch
Before I go home
I await touches of a gentle waterfall against my cheek
Before I go home
I await exemplary wishes from roots of family tree to return tomorrow
Before I go home
And, after these shedding tears & resilient smiles are embedded within,
I await the reckoning that will shake foundations into Ionosphere grins
When I
Return home
8:30 am

Only little black girl at school and her white friends admired her 'tan'
–"I'm brown all over" she told them, proudly motioning to all her body.
But skin color can be an issue
I remember the back of the bus-
although we rarely rode it because of that.
I remember for colored only water fountains
segregated schools and lunch counters for whites only.
I remember the caste system at my high school- black step back, brown stick
around, white you all right.
I think Langston Hughes captured the cadence of it.
Bright skin girls were queens and princesses, beautiful and fair.
Black girls were well, BLACK and that was supposed to be a negative.
And then a funny thing happened on the way through the sixties-
BLACK was beautiful and the skin color dynamics began to change.
It came out of the closet and was addressed by white, black, brown, red and
yellow people.
Now skin color is celebrated in all shades and hues although
I still hear teenagers at my high school (I'm a teacher now) say things like,
"I'm not sitting out here in no sun, I don't want to get any blacker than I am."
And of course prejudice has not disappeared it has mutated and we do have
stronger defenses against it in some cases.
Interestingly even skin color defines some of my "brown" students.
They react to the "darkness" of each other and their parents, relatives and
"My mom is real dark, Miss, she don't look nothing like me."
"Miss, do you think I look like a Mexican? I don't look nothing like a Mexican."
"I'm a Latina."
"There's no such thing as a Chicano, it's something people made up, either
you're a Mexican or you're not."
"What does that mean-Hispanic?"
"I'm Cuban, Puerto Rican, and El Salvadorian, from Belize; Honduran (We got
black Hondurans, Miss)" That's the color of skin thing.

There has been such a backlash against immigrants
that I decided I would put out a thought.
Do we remember the immigrants
Who for our country fought?
Starting with our revolution
when this country was born in 1776.
There were immigrants who fought by our side
Von Steuben, Kosciuszko, and Pulaski were among the mix.
What have they done since then you ask,
to keep our country great ?
There are those who battled oppression with us
even up to the present date.
I do not know of particulars in 1812
or even in WW I.
But if immigrants didn't fight for us
They joined the 'Melting Pot' that eventually made us one.
WW II is another chapter
of immigrant oppression we let go awry.
How long could we have fought that war
Had the Nisei not gone to Italy?
I have had great kindness in my life
by two different immigrant cultures shown.
One was Puerto Rican; the other Chinese
who accepted me as one of their own.
It was more than kindness.
It was a true caring and love in their way.
One gave me the confidence to move ahead in life
The other became my family.
Without the strength of these diverse immigrants in my life
I don't know where I might have gone.
I would certainly not be here writing
but somewhere else...lost and alone.
So when I hear people loudly rail
about an "Immigrant Crisis of State",
Remember, We all came from roots elsewhere
This is what makes our country Great!

True definition of a hood love story,
They called him Felony.
Skin was as smooth as a shot of Hennessey.
He made a lot of other men envy.
His style was particularly different from the rest.
No gold chains around his neck, but a simple rosary lies on his chest.
Underneath his Sunday best was a solid bullet proof vest.
His pockets had a secret treasure chest.
Steepness with infinite thickness,
But every man has a weakness.
She killed him with kindness.
A righteous lioness,
His royal highness: his positive guidance.
She was the offspring of the titans.
Exceptional of importance to his reputation,
She was his foundation freedom from his everyday discrimination.
A safe haven like a wave equation, her name was Money.
Half black and half Puerto Rican,
Skin complexion of an Egyptian he nicknamed her Isis.
Dipped in gold went perfectly with her skin tone.
She was an overgrown precious stone.
Foreknown Money was working with the federal bureau of investigation.
Deeply in love with a convict but yet victorious triumphant.
Stunting on everyone's judgments Money is Felony movement.
A step ahead of the government,
Never seeing a seal indictment
Money was his antidepressant.
Felony was her significant participant.
Both of them reaping the enjoyment,
Bonded by each other's fulfillment,
Seal their delinquent intimate commitment.
In love with a codefendant left them with a Bonnie, and Clyde ending.
Love testimony of Felony and Money

If I Tell You, 2011
Vickie M. Ortiz Vazquez
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
What comes to mind?
Morena of "el barrio" or Blonde woman of "el barrio"
Better yet, pale skin-blonde from up north
That one, the straight English-speaking wanna-be
"Con su pelo lacio"
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Could you describe who I am?
Woman controlled, subjected by Welfare
Carrying on the poor women cycle
You know, the one imposed by the few rich white men
Would you think of me in a bright light; dim light?
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Do you envision an immigrant, alien?
A woman once taken and brought at age 15
Beginning of her womanhood
Tormented by loneliness, isolation, ignorance
Frustrated by the never ending question, "Are you mixed?"
Misunderstood by her citizenship
Seen as unfair by many
Slaved island, unrealized
Are you able to narrate which Puerto Rican woman am I?
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Puerto Rican I am
"Café con leche," Afro-hair, big lips, small nose
Distance between what I was and inspire to be
Clinching to her African heritage
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Can you explain the injustice my hair endured?
Constant search for assimilation
To break free
Impacted by those with similar skin color, Afro hair, big lips
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Do you paint two contrasting siblings?
Light, dark complexions
Tall dark father with short light mother by his side
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Do your pages bleed from inspiration?
Would I read between the lines, a woman becoming her own?
Struggling between many worlds
Or, do you spell the notion of loud, submissive, sex symbol
You know, the one portrayed in the media
If I tell you, Puerto Rican I am
Can you decipher, WEEEEPA

A Poets Dozen Fried stirred put in the Oven
Breakfast Lunch Dinner Dessert they Love it
Your own private Diner a blended Fatata
Served with coffee chocolate makes it hotter
Its your cup of Tea brewing the pot screams
With a bit of Raw Honey melted a throat eased
Butter Bread A Puerto Rican Dream
Melts in your mouth the simple things please
Now if you would like eggs over easy
The yolk in the center would run dreaming
With a side of bacon maybe a piece of ham
To dip in the center would be a grand slam
How about some scrabbled eggs with Cheese
Or a lovely danish hard boiled preferably
Have you ever had punch made with grape juice
Eggs whipped with sugar enhancing a favorite fruit
Maybe a poached egg perhaps an omelette instead
Stuffed with a filling ingredients run to your head
French Toast pancakes hashbrowns at last
This Diner is cooking take a plate don't pass
To swallow it down orange juice take a glass
Your ready to pump iron enough protein you've had
See you next time it was a pleasure to entertain
This diner now closed hope you enjoyed your unconventional first date

Hey girl, what's up?
just called to check on you,
Cuz when you're part of the sisterhood ,
that's what sisters do!
Be times good, or be times bad,
rather you woke up happy,
or rather you woke up mad,
A sister will listen,
she doesn't always give advice,
she's thoughtful in her responses,
thinking it over twice.
Night or day,
it really doesn't matter,
she'll say girl, let's have some ice cream ,
and get a little fatter.
Be it the kids, the husband,
the job, or another issue,
sisters sit down and grab a box of tissue.
What I have is yours,
and what you have is mine.
Have you ever seen three sisters,
share a single dime?
Well as sisters, that's what we do,
I wouldn't say it ,
If I knew it were not true.
In the sisterhood,
We leave the crabbing, the backstabbing, and
vindictiveness behind.
For it takes too much effort,
and we have too little time!
So sisters,
Let's build each other up,
not tear each other down,
Let's greet one another with a smile,
and forego the nasty frown.
Each one teach one,
is what I say,
let's make empowerment the word of the day!
Let's promote the positive,
or say nothing at all.
Let's lift each other up,
not make each other fall.
Let's be truthful, thoughtful,
and prayerful of each other.
Let's strive to take each other,
just a little bit further.
I'm brown, your tan, she's dark, she's light,
One sister is Puerto Rican,
and the other sister is white.
Our complexion, our race, doesn't play a part,
because the sisterhood, cares not about color,
or status, it's all about your heart!
We won't always see eye to eye,
or always agree,
but I've got you girl,
and I know you've got me!
Storms may come,
but we weather them together,
trying to stay dry,
beneath one umbrella!
So ladies,
When things are bad,
and you can find no good,
there is always comfort to be found ,
in the sisterhood!
As women, we are often misunderstood,
So ladies,
I thank you, for promoting sisterhood!

Yo, Hoboken Bars and a couple cat fights,
Yo, takin' the path to the Palledium and Limelight,
Giants games,
Getting drunk and goin' insane,
Never stressin, just professin', Wu Tang Lyrics and a little Smith and Wessin',
Yo, I hung Irish, Italian, Black, and Puerto Rican,
Weekend trips to Spanish Harlem, girl watchin' and sight seein',
Visitin' fam in Flat Bush Brooklyn, and a quick stop to the Bronx,
Playin' a little b-ball back when I had less junk in my trunks,
Liftin' at the Y, and hangin' tough in Parsippany,
Are you hangin' with me?
Shot out to the Randolph Crew,
Hangin' with Asians and Jewish cats too,
With dreds on my head, ladies sweatin' the phat do,
Winnin' state championships and duckin' bauer Junia,
Sportin' my Miata with shiny Rims, and a boomin' tuner,
Rollin' through Montclair and scopin' females on the upswing,
Showin' off my letters and #1 rings,
Though I've lived all over, I still claim Randolph and Dover,
I still claim, West Orange, Lauren Hill, and Fushiknins never sober,
Jersey, baby Jersey, there is no other,
With Red Alert on the horn kickin' the overweight lova,
And yeah, we kind of dirty,
True dat,
I'll grant you that,
But there is none like Jersey,
The Garden lounge of adventure,
And when you visit the homestead,
Just tell em Woody sent ya,
So shot out to the Jersey Crew,
It's been a while,
Lost my style,
And my pants are a little bigga,
But yo, it don't matter, cause Jersey yeah I miss ya!!

Every one ask me where am I'm from knowing I'm from,
North Carolina is my accent that officiate,

So if I every make history remember me as Caribbean lover
From the "city that I am from"

Slice that ripe green Avocado
Love it with my rice and beans
Oh it looks so ripe and yellow
Slice it like a tangerine
Let's make love under La Palma
Lay out our blanket on the clean
Luquillo sand - allow the Puerto Rican
Sun to bath us with its warm Latino hands
Soothe our bodies, comfort our Souls
Heat our blood as we become one under
La Palma and Puerto Rican Sun

You Slice It - selected poems and essays of my

I leave my home in Trinidad
And I come to live in America
And now I working at Kmart
Whole day at a cash register
But I do have a lot of problems
Every time I get hungry to eat
all it has is a bunch of junk food
Or bread with some artificial meat
So I decide to take all my money
And invested it in a food van
Is about time I introduce to America
The tasty cooking of we Trinidadian
And I though for the first few days
That business will be real slow
Boy, but I was so wrong
now I see people line up for so
So I open up with trini breakfast
Smoke herring with tomato and roti
Baggi, Pumpkin, baigan and aloo
Fried bodi ,doubles and fever grass tea
It's the first time they tasting Doubles
The chutney burning some of them nose
One guy look like he from Russia
Drop some curry channa on his cloths
I get all the recipes from my brother
"naz cuisine" The best food in Trinidad'
Some people start complimenting
Saying, it's the best they ever had
A white man faced turns red
Eating the double with plenty pepper
But he says how he likes it
It has a very nice flavor
And For lunch I roll out the big guns
All different kind of talkari
Goat, duck chicken and fish
Bake and shark, bush up shut and dhalpurrie
Two Puerto Rican girls
One looks like Mariah Carey
They order dhal, rice, and goat meat
Saying how they love the curry
And every body line up
They love the curry real bad
And every body talking about the curry
the curry man from Trinidad
From my stove comes hot roti
Tomato choka and fry plantain
Since morning people line up
Waiting for the Trinidad cooking
And now is evening everything sells out
I didn't even keep one roti for me
And now I feel real hungry
So I guess I will buy a bucket of KFC

Labels, 2010
V. Ortiz Vazquez
Girl, teenager, young adult, woman
Hispanic, Latina, Puerto Rican
Sister, aunt, godmother
Lesbian, woman of color
How important are these labels?
Why use them to define myself?
Better, use to be boxed within brackets
Brackets many times use to oppress me and those a like
Box me
Reduce at time, close to nothingness
Trap within groups
Recycling stereotypes, unfairness
Other times, forgotten
I am a woman
A Puerto Rican woman that is
I am a daughter
A Puerto Rican daughter, know this
Born to privileges that do not really exist
I am a Puerto Rican woman who loves another woman
Rights denied
Ignorance still prevail in 2010
I am brown skinned
How important is this? I don't know, Do you?
Yet, I will not trade the following:
Daughter, aunt, godmother, woman of color, Puerto Rican
They provide an experience taken for granted by many
At times an understanding that others dream off
A strength given, passed down
Not forced or taken
I am the labels you love to hate
I am the labels you hate to love

I may not be Perfect but I have one of the purest Heart of Gold, I carry my Heart on my sleeve and like this I shall be until I grow old.
I'm not a bookworm or Original Gangster I do however have an old-school mentality an original Latin Flavor.
I can be as humble as my upbringing allows me to but don't be fooled, I can easily tell it like it is become a Puerto Rican Iceman with a cold tongue and cut you with brutal truths.
I love the day yet I find more tranquility at night embracing it's Gothic vampiric presence, Just lay back count the stars and be entrapped by the Moonlights essence.
I am a vested individual with many earned patches you can try to figure my world but there are many methods to my madness.
I am no poser I am who I am I Love my Family and cherish true Friends my name is Shawn Munoz I say this with a thunderous shout you can choose to stay a part of world or simply get out. ™©

Faces smiling, nodding politely
At words they don't seem
To understand,
Show me pictures,
Showing the richness of
A faraway distant land,
Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments
Rising high in Puerto Rican skies.

A light mist of ethereous rain falls
silent on his thin, sharp-angled
face. He lengthens his stride and
leans toward the wind. He walks
through plundered poverty; crumbled
by the weight of exodus. Abandoned
to the blood-rough nails scratching
on the concrete diasporas of multiethnic
Past the playground echoes of PS #59,
as they drift along the faded asphalt
haze of time. Echoes still ring true with
elemental bones of hope: the children
break out and through gunmetal gray,
graffiti covered doors, outside to the
saturated heat of inner-city rage.
Past gothic orthodox cathedral
mausoleums which sit like ancient
stoics and stare through burnt-amber,
azure, crystalline-blue stained glass
eyes; focused out with a kernel of
eternal mustard seed hope: souls will
come again and warm the sacred pews.
Past the Puerto Rican market
where the pig's head led the
carnivore parade of mastication
promise every day. A meat-market
window of letted-blood and death
reminiscent of Amsterdam whores
with their wares on display for the
dead-eyed stares of the men outside.
He comes to the dust and
grime of an empty lot covered
by old and broken concrete slabs.
He stops and lets his mind drift
back to watch a woman who wears
a ratted fox-tail wrap around her
neck. She holds a long, un-filtered
cigarette, loose, between her two
bright, fuchsia painted lips. She
wears a black velvet hat with veil
to her nose and a straight black
dress that flows below her knees,
mid-calf, above her shiny black,
high-heel, patent leather shoes.
He can almost see through the blur
of a chiaroscuro choreography his
mother, visiting with the Kazakhstan
neighbors, in this dreamlike memory.
The multi-plexed, subsidized project,
where he was born, once stood just
beyond his vision of a mother's visit in
high-heel, indigo, tangerine, sibilant
sounds; lit with electric light smiles
of denial.
She would hold her cigarette between
fuchsia lips and wear that ratted fox-tail
wrap until the cancer cough began to spew
Chesterfield blood on the molted fox-tail
head of her beloved fur.
Then she went to bed. Went to sleep. And died.
Pigeons cooed quietly on that New York City night.

The first time our lips shared a kiss
Was even better than first time I shot a 3 pointer and didn't miss.
I can't help but smile when I picture your beautiful face,
Believe me when I say no one can ever take your place.
A piece of my heart is yours, I believe it's corazon in Spanish,
But this is my worry, that my feelings for you may never vanish.
Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star,
I wish for you, because I feel I'm so close, yet so far…
Maybe it's because of expectations I just can't meet,
Maybe it's because of my spirituality, although I feel that aspect of life is right at my feet,
Maybe if I was Puerto Rican with 40-inch arms,
I can never be Puerto Rican, but maybe I can grow some guns if I finally set the alarms.
Maybe if I was someone with an engineer job who you can take home to mom,
But my ambitions are growing, so much so that it's hard for me to keep calm.
Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star,
I wish for you, because I feel I'm so close, yet so far…
I love you as my best friend, but also love you in that other way,
So sorry I have complicated things so much, but is it possible one day I can still call you bae?
Deep down I know the answer, but a part of me still wants to hold faith and hope,
I would to do anything to catch the girl of my dreams, man that would be so dope.
Even if not with you in the end, I am still thankful for this experience of being in love,
Ever since it happened, I still can't help but thank the man above…

On my computer
songs of the late 1970's
My seed time
as it were
ELP, Yes, and King Crimson
Perhaps I will pick up a recording by
they did a great version of "America"
from West Side Story
or perhaps I shall return to the fold era
or flip on some Dvorak
Music and poetry
enables us to touch unreality
but only if we let it
Some recommend Beethoven and Bach
Others Chuck Berry and James Brown
Attempted to play the French horn when I was younger
what a gorgeous sound that instrument can make
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones used ti
So did we at Midwood High
AS we marched down the football field
Cool autumn days
remind us
of leaves turning color, football
and the beginning of the school year
I remember those days
As age creeps in
I attend poetry
and volunteer at Poets House
read a lot of verse
Poets House has Israeli, Afro - American, Chinese, Puerto Rican poetry
and much more
The world needs poetry and song
And so doe we , friends

She's like beautiful....nice pretty smile....
She's like a dream....I'll sleep for a while....
She's worth a milion....product of God's work....
She's like everything....everything she's worth....
I sit in my room and picture this fine black....no caramel....no puerto rican....no
venezualian female walking about and around my home like she bought it, HA!
Her eyes green maybe hazel, doesn't matter, because everytime I look at her our
lips touch, hands interlock, and bodies intertwine like vines on a tree. She's like
the best cook, fried chicken, sweet cream corn, candy yams, and the sweetest
red koolade even the hardest ghetto would love. She's like a piece to my missing
puzzle she's like something I'd love over and over again until again is over.
She's like....beautiful....
She's like....sexy....
She's like....untouchable....
She's like....the best thing....
She's like everything I think about when I'm not thinking about thinking about
anything. She's like what matters most when nothing matters at all. There's "I
Love You's" when she's mad and "F--- You's" when she's happy. Plus she knows
I don't like dealing with the drama, but her attitude is automatic, she get it from
her mamma.
She's like....my support....
She's like....my Queen....
She's like....my motivation....
She's like....my dream....

It's not how much money you have it's what you do with it ,
Price of living will show the shift of urbanization and the immigration,
Of people moving from up north to the south land is cheap where empty vacancy is available,
A small city to easy it is a lot of immigration of Irish and British decent and that is how they, Classification then same as now days I am see more New York and,
Chicago people pop up in my city one day it will be no reason to move it like the,
World is coming to the city with Puerto Rican and Italian crisis more of them arrive in,
North Carolina which rank close as top ten for people to,
Migrant and what I was told of living up north is it,
Mold in the apartments a person here could live middle income for,
Label force for cheap but not that many great doctor which people are,
Force travel out of county as well for work no wonder they call my city a place for
Retiring but what in world to do when want a date and church is totally out question,
It's not how much money you have it's what you do with it,
It doesn't have to rhyme, in time
its all semantics anyway.
The words to play
into other words and every thing
doesn't need to ring

Write about how it be.
C-span gobbldegook of terror
committes sit as souls pour out of poverty
services unprovided while
building bombs.
Who cares about the conspiracy
of greed and machismo to
keep us in our place?
Race to the bottom line:
I'm a bank and your black and back off
I'm a mortgage company and your puerto rican
with credit stinkin
have we killed all the Indians yet?
Without the news the blues
is mindless sitcom cons
when the polls close the winner will be named
before the count
you is out.
Show me the beef
stay obese for spiritually
priestly pedophiles.
A perpetration of a preponderance of b.s.
reigns in the land of the
locked in
locked up
bondage of souls
dreamin' the great dream of a house
to be blown away in a storm,
or run over by a Free Way.
What's mine ... ?

Green eyed
And hard headed
Beauty lies in every man's eyes
Five and 7 high
And pride of might
Puerto Rican running through my veins
And the pain of Hitler buried in my brain
Unable to be changed
I'm set in my ways
I'm a minority woman
Get out my way
I won't explain
This Is Me
I won't take no shorts
I know what I want
And what I want everyone needs
I've been screaming "f--k the fifty-states"
Since the day I was conceived
I walk with my head held high
Eyes open wide
And my legs closed tight
Trying not to mask the beauty that's inside
Praying I'll get wise
Even with these lies
I can't continue to try
One day we all must die
I can't "live"
I'm too busy trying to survive
This Is Me
Don't try to confuse me
With what I don't need!

Flying through the breeze of an obstacle experience
Puerto Rican connection is beyond the word "serious"
Put my two hands together and let emotions speak
Eyes are always stressed out and never time for sleep
His heart beats with rage and fear
Bad images that i want to disappear
Strong emotions for life that will represent tears
My soul and life; anything is possible
Rubber and steel is always damaged
Mind is always stressed out and no one can manage
3 seeds that he planted that will grow in pride
I don't want to lose him because my soul will always hide
Words always express to show how he feels
Our thoughts love to spin like the rubber on his wheels
Like an invisible line on the map that never seems to stop
Our love stays strong forever together locked
Let his gurdian angel keep him safe forever.

Life of Dean
More than just another blast of rancid vapors from the old reliable Death Is the Best Career Move crypt, the theatrical premiere of evocative character study Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean promises an engrossing confluence of sociocultural and psychosexual elements. With Dean doppelganger James Preston running the melodramatic gamut of the outsider idol's enigmatic worldview and ever-shifting stock of sexual percentages and stunner Dalilah Rain making quite a convincing play for the distaff team, the film examines the doomed actor's at the time scandalous proclivities, all served up in a rich bundle of shadowy, high-noir atmospherics, stark desert rapture and intensely affectionate and craftily delivered Hollywood fetishism. Captured on film through vintage Cooke lenses, it's got a rich, authentic old-school look, thoughtful understated performances and an all-around appealingly serious tone that sets the flick apart from mere slavish Dean fan-mania. Writer-director Matthew Mishory and members of the cast and crew will on hand for some unspecified interaction and general celebratory hoopla. Art Theater, 2025 E.

Sir Anthony Tennant, 71, is accused by US prosecutors of brokering an illegal price-fixing arrangement with rival Sotheby's.
The charges saw former Sotheby's chairman Alfred Taubman jailed for a year in New York this week and fined £5million. American border guards have been told to arrest Sir Anthony the moment he sets foot on US territory.
Royal Academy members had called for him to quit as chairman of the trust, which raises funds for the artistic institute. Today the Academy announced he will step aside when his current term expires later this year.
Members of the 80-strong Academy, made up of Britain's most distinguished artists, accused him of failing to act with honour by keeping the post - which he has held since 1996 - despite the charges against him. It was the final blow to the Old Etonian scion of a wealthy clan and high-flying City figure. He had already quit his final place on a City board, resigning within the last month as a director of the British board of French investment bank BNP Paribas.
When the investigation against him began in 2000, he was forced to quit as senior adviser to the British arm of US bank Morgan Stanley, and stepped down as deputy chairman of Arjo Wiggins Appleton, because he could not travel to America.
Sculptor and Royal Academy member Ivor Abrahams said: "The right thing for him to do is to step down. His track record is terrible after Christie's." Sculptor Michael Sandle said: "It would be dignified for him to fall on his sword. If he had any sense of decency, that's what he would do." The decision to end his involvement in the Academy ends forever the distinguished retirement he had anticipated. With a London home and a country estate in Longparish, Hampshire, he seemed set to savour the rewards of many years at the top of the business world.
There was the £500,000 a year pension, the Elizabethan manor house and the chance to spend time with his wife. But now the legacy of his three-year term as chairman of Christie's has destroyed the dream.
Sir Anthony was Christie's chief from 1993 to 1996, which is when US authorities allege he and Taubman conspired to form a pricefixing cartel to guarantee their own profits. It is a sad and surprising end to a career which saw Sir Anthony take the helm at Guinness as a man above approach after the disgrace of the Ernest Saunders years.
A member of the Tennant family, he made his own way in the City. In a career in the drinks industry, he brought the world Bailey's Irish Cream and Le Piat D'Or, and was the obvious choice when Guinness needed a safe pair of hands.
He left Guinness in 1992, taking with him a solid reputation and the £500,000 pension, and stepped easily into the Christie's boardroom. When he left he could not have guessed at the timebomb of allegations ticking across the Atlantic. US prosecutors are convinced they have the evidence to secure his conviction, but know he will not go there. He cannot be extradited from Britain as price-fixing was not an offence in the UK at the time of the alleged cartel.
One of his City contemporaries said today: "I feel sorry for him over the Christie's affair.
I guess he just took his eye off the ball, and assumed others were dealing straight." Sir Anthony wrote to friends a year ago: "Why not go to the United States to clear my name? Because I would have to stay there for an unquantifiable length of time... and pay huge legal bills out of my own resources."
He now faces a retirement in seclusion at homes in London and Longparish. From a place on the most prestigious boards in the country, including the Stock Exchange and Claridge's, he has just one position left - director of the company which manages the block of Kensington flats where he lives.

The Naked and Famous Were In Houston Last Night!
And...as usual, they kicked a whole lot of ass.
Last night made a total of three times I've seen them live and they did not disappoint. The New Zealand natives light up whatever venue they play, and I've seen them in all types. Their energy and chemistry is incredible, I really appreciate when a band appears to be having a whole lot of fun on stage, and they convey that well.
Favorites include "Girls Like You", "Hearts Like Ours" and "Rolling Waves", which turned into a sing along, upon the encouragement of lead singer, Alisa Xayalith.
I had to leave in the middle of the show because I am a responsible morning show co-host so if you were there and have any more cool stories, comment below!

Lennox ML193 with a Filtrete
I've read a number of bad reviews from professionals with the 3M filtrete products. I have a Lennox ML193 furnace that has the "healthy climate" 5" filter bay.
I've used the Filtrete 1550 (16x25x4) in the past and the Honeywell 4" "Micro Defense" filters, and it came with the Lennox 4" (maybe 5") merv10 filter.
I like the filtrete's because they are the easiest to purchase, followed by the Honeywell's. The 4" Filtrete is sold at target and I can find the 4" Honeywell at HD. The Lennox filters are the hardest to find because you have to go to the Lennox dealer....or order online.
As far as performance goes, which one would you recommend? I'm wondering if the Filtrete's would be OK with my furnace because it has the bigger HC cabinet and it's a newer furnace. I also have to add that I have horrible allergies and asthma, so the more filtered air, the better. I also don't want to measure the temperature above the heat exchanger and compare it to see if it's running too hot or not... just because I'm lazy and can't find my probe.
So, with the setup I have, does it sound like the Filtrete is alright, or should I make a run out to a lennox dealer for their filter....
It means Minimum Effenency Reporting Value, with 16 being the higher end, 10 being standard or common and 6 being a lower end filter.
Hey wiz, if you don't check the temp rise you are courting a cracked heat exchanger.
You are dealing with some very restrictive filters that have caused furnaces to give up the ghost early on.
It's common and mandatory safe practice to check the temp rise. I have found more furnace over heat with Filtritte filter because of the tight weave.
It's not worth risking your life for. Check that temp rise ASAP.
If you don't want to check temp rise across the heat exchange. Go with a MERV 8 filter. It will be less restrictive to air flow.
those are both rated at merv 12 which is too tight for that furnace. merv 8 or 10 is good for it. if you had the more powerful ecm motor unit then a tighter filter would be ok.
Thank you all for the responses.
OK, so maybe the best thing would be to check the temp rise. I was being lazy, but I will find my temp probe tonight and check it. I suppose it won't be THAT hard...I guess I was just being lazy.
Without knowing much or being a HVAC guy, I would think that the reason Filtrete's have a bad name is because people assume that since the label says it lasts up to a year, and they're buying an expensive filter, that they don't have to change it as frequently. Again, I'm no expert, but I get that feeling. I try to change mine on a monthly (or maybe two month) basis.
I still have the question about Filtrete vs Honeywell vs Lennox filters, and which one would be best to use. Also, a technical question about my furnace...does anybody know if it is an ECM motor in there, and what the max MERV value I can go up to with it?
If the weave is too tight air won't pas thru the filter no matter what shape the duct work is in.
So your saying not so?????
Few duct systems are installed/sized for a air filter of a MERV rating higher then 10. And MERV 13 filters often have a high PD. So people think that the same size will allow the same amount of air through. Not realizing that the duct system wasn't designed for it.
the Merit line does not have an ecm motor. the elite and signature series have some with ecm motors. based on my 33 yrs experience in 90+ % of the units I see most of them don't have big honkin oversized ductwork so any filter over merv 10 restricts enough airflow that they ride the limit control and won't work properly. nowadays builders use the cheapest smallest sized ductwork possible. do the proper temp rise test. yes, it is a backwards equation. people figure the more a filter costs the longer it should last but it is the opposite. it is taking more dust out and plugging sooner and slowing down the airflow and overheating the furnace and causing the motor to draw more amps/juice and running up your electric bill too.
Try testing some. Go to the box store and buy some, and then buy Honeywell OEMs. And test them. You'll find some big differences.
Acefurnacefixer' this You Tube link clearly shows the tighter the filter the more wattage on a motor as it works harder to move air thru it.
A test chamber is used and several diff filters are tested for their restrictiveness.

text: BOSTON, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- City Year, an education-focused nonprofit organization that unites young leaders for a year of service to keep students in school and on track to graduate, today announced a renewed, multi-year international commitment from National Grid, an international energy delivery company in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. National Grid will help support City Year programs at schools in Boston, Providence, Brooklyn and London. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110714/NE35509LOGO ) In Boston, National Grid will continue to sponsor City Year AmeriCorps members at the Blackstone Elementary School in Boston's South End, where they help students improve attendance, behavior and educational performance. The sponsorship also includes numerous volunteer opportunities for National Grid employees. "We are passionate about investing in the communities we serve. City Year has a proven track record of keeping at-risk children in school and on-track to graduate. We're hard pressed to think of a better investment than that," said Marcy Reed, president of National Grid in Massachusetts. "It's an honor to sponsor the dedicated corps members who work tirelessly with students to provide the skills and motivation they need to get ahead." National Grid has been active with City Year since 2002, supporting various programs designed to remove barriers to achievement for young people in the communities it serves. "We are grateful to National Grid for its $1 million commitment and unwavering dedication in helping build the urban graduation pipeline," said Michael Brown, CEO and Co-Founder of City Year. "The company has stepped up as a leading corporate sponsor and is helping us to grow in local communities. Their support has allowed us to deploy more teams of City Year AmeriCorps members whose civic energy and idealism are transforming the schools in which we serve." In Massachusetts, National Grid will donate $300,000 to City Year over three years. City Year also received grants from National Grid in NY, Rhode Island and London, bringing the total company contribution to $1 million. City Year AmeriCorps members serve full-time in schools implementing the Whole School Whole Child model to advance school-wide reform practices and provide individualized academic and social-emotional supports to students exhibiting any of the early warning indicators of poor attendance, disruptive behavior and course failure in math and English – the factors that are the strongest predictors of a student's risk of dropping out of school. Whole School Whole Child strengthens tiered student supports, improves coordination of teaching and learning, increases teacher effectiveness by allowing more time for differentiated instruction, and expands and optimizes learning time with before- and after-school tutoring.

Dont Tell me how great you are-show me - Motto Monday
June 11, 2012
Cpl. Daniel M. Greenwald, an assaultman attached to F Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5, holds up the Kevlar helmet that saved his life after he was shot in the head by an insurgent sniper.
Dont TELL me how great you are, show me how great you are. Its Monday, and if you think Mondays suck, remember, someone has it worse. Does your Monday suck or are you being lazy and worried about yourself instead of kicking the crap out of the day? There are warriors slugging it out in Afghanistan. Some wont come home. Anybody shooting at you today?
Unfortunately, those that come to One Marine's View don't have this issue of spewing how bad their day was, they kick the dog crap out of it. But fortunately, you do know someone who needs to hear this and the other stories on One Marine's View so please send as required.
There are are many times all of us feel over whelmed. Some times even the best of us kicked knocked down. We all get knocked down from time to time. What matters most is the very net thing YOU do after you get knocked down. Dont tell me how great you are, show your family, yourself how great you are.
Time for a CGAR!

The Real Bad Lieutenant, Port of Call New Orleans
Posted on Dec 13, 2009
ProPublica, Frontline and the New Orleans Times-Picayune are investigating the rash of police shootings after Hurricane Katrina—in one week, police killed and wounded as many as they do in a typical year—and the results are troubling.
Not only were the circumstances of some shootings questionable, ProPublica reports, but "the department performed only cursory investigations before exonerating their fellow officers. ..."
One victim was shot in the back, although the New Orleans Police Department said he was shot in the shoulder. Police told the family of another fatality that he was killed by a civilian. "Family members didn't know otherwise until they were contacted recently by a reporter," the report says.
No doubt New Orleans police officers who stuck to their posts and did their best under daunting circumstances ought to be celebrated. They had no communication and no help from the feds and they were trying to keep a flooded city from further harm .
But there are real and urgent questions here about the relationship of an apparently violent police force and the community that are not unique to New Orleans. Los Angeles has wrestled with these demons for decades. The city of Oakland is a war zone. And the list goes on. —PZS

This is similar in all regions of earth. Someone has been training police to kill whenever and wherever they can get away with it. Especially federal police or police trained by the feds / governments.

Thank you, dear furriends fur sharing the love wif me! I'm not able to be online too much lately, but I apuureciate all of you so much and I love you too!
YOUZA! (That's what Guido, the Italian Kitty would say!)
My sort-of-sisfur...Gracie, whom I live in the same house wif now...she ATTACKED me!
I couldn't believe it! I was only checking out "her" room! I didn't touch anything but the floor, I swear! OMC...she growled at me and then launched her chubby, round faced gray and white body right ON TOP OF ME! I'm only about 6 pounds, for Cat's Sake!
Well...there was a LOT of yowling and screaming and hissing and growling and Momma came running into the room to see cat fur flying efurrywhere just like in the cartoons! She had a fit!
Flowie is JUST getting ofur an abscess that COULD have come from a cat bite or scratch during a scuffle with Whisper and now THIS!
OMC....Momma scruffed Gracie, just like a Mom-Cat would a kitten and pushed me out the door with her foot (gently!).
I ran RIGHT into Apollo, who hissed at me! OMC! My poor little 80% blind eyes were wide and just BLACK, instead of their usual deep blue.
After Momma settled Gracie down, she close the door to "her" room and came out to see how I was.
Of course, I was rattled purrty badly and Apollo was just sitting there STARING at me! OMC!
I looked up when Momma said my name and I said "mew?" to her!
THAT started her bawling ofur my poor little blind Meezer self and she scooped me up and smoothed my furs (LOTS came OUT!)
Now Momma says she has to watch for any signs of abscesses on me or Gracie!
She's purrty upset, cos we NEFUR used to have this happen....just hissing and growling! Gracie is such a stinker and she doesn't want ANYFUR in "her" room! Momma usually notices when one of us (usually ME!) starts to wander in there, but she was making a cup of tea! Believe me, she's gonna either make SURE I am wif her or close the door to Gracie's room from now on! Like I said, this has nefur happened before and it really upset Momma!
I'm gonna lie down on the little chair by the window now and take a nap. Mom gave me a small bit of chikin and I'm ready to sleep....darn that Gracie!
Well, not really....but my title has been updated! Since I'm NOT traveling any more and I'm in my furrever home wif my Momma and sibs, I'm not Mia, The Traveling Meezer anymore!
Mom sez that since I have such a healing presence in ther life, my position should be MedicineCat and since I'm Meowvalous, my new FULL title is Mia the Meowvalous MedicineCat!
My NAME is still Mia, of course! Although Momma calls me Mia-Mya most of the time....she's so silly!
I told her that I miss the Meezer part of my title though! She said there's not enough room in the line fur all of it, and I'm OBVIOUSLY a Meezer when someone sees my picture, so she had to leave that out.
Otherwise, my title would be "Mia, The Meowvalous Meezer MedicineCat"!!! :-) I guess I can accept that....;-)

It is about 10 miles from one end to the other. I like to start out off of Lovell Canyon and I end up in the Redrock Scenic area. Most of the trail is easy, it's just a 1 mile stretch that is washed out. These pics are of the easy stuff. My wife didn't get any pics of the hard stuff.

I have opened up my favourite portable sony tape recorder to find there are 3 tantalum capacitors per channel in the signal path on the way to the recording head. There is enough space (just) to replace these with other more classy elecrolytics.
The tantalums are directly in the signal path but do have a small voltage of around 5 volts accross them. Would it be fine to use Non polar black gates in these positions, and if so do the non polars suffer from warm up time as much as the non polars. I have heard that the black gates afer being shut down for a while take a long time to re energise to work to their full capacity again. This would be a problem as the tape deck will not be used exceedingly often and then will only be powered up for short periods.
And does anyone have a comment for the pk miniature series black gates which would be a nicer fit into the little space in my walkman.
Follow Ups:
I am quite late to this post but thought I would chime in anyway. One thing that I remember reading from a brother inmate is to use Blackgates on gear that you leave on all of the time. If you will be turning it off quite a bit then perhaps you should try something else. This actually makes sense to me, as I leave everything turned on except my power amps. The amps sound fine at turn on but get "spooky" better after 18 to 24 hours of on time. Maybe it's the Blackgates, maybe not. The amps have plenty of run in time, they just do something a little better after a nice long warm up. Food for thought.
Also, I would not choose electrolytics for a signal cap upgrade. There are plenty of film and PIO caps that would do a better job. Perhaps space is an issue???
I have (unfortunately) tried many of these in various circuit
positions, and frankly I see no improvement WHATEVER over the
sonics of much more reasonably priced Elna Cerafines or Michicon
Muse KZ units. Personally, I just use the Muse caps these days
for my cathode bybasses, etc.
I consider the Black Gate thing to be, frankly, largely another well
marketed audiophile parts fraud --pure snakeoil. Caveat Emptor.
Tell a Friend.
Most tantalums are polar caps so cannot use a non polar in that spot.
Use a muse KZ or B.G. F, elna silmics, elna tonerex, panasonic Pz all very good.
There is only around 5 volts across the capacitors. I kind of understand that a non polar is not exactly designed to hold a constant voltage, but surely a a 50 volt non polar could handle this small constant 5v voltage. Otherwise there seems to be very few places a non polar can be used.
And this is coming from someone who loves BG WKZ and N series 350V caps.
Their low voltage caps are reasons why some people hate BG. They are not in the same league as the Big voltage caps.
I have tried them and will never use or recommend them.
Can't say that I like the Muse KZ either. Their cheaper green label ones sound better to me.
Thanks, That explains why I never really heard any improvement when I put some low voltage black gates in my old phono pre amp.
I have not had much experience with electrolytics but I have been happy with Nichicons that I have used in the past.
in the same application - get mine from Welborne
I recommend to put them in Super-E config for best result; i.e. two caps with same value in parallell with long leg against short leg (and vice versa). Happy hunting...
Tom, Lillehammer (Norway)
300B SET, NOS DAC, Avantgarde Duo
Higher end; tubes and horns...
Your suggested "super e" configuration - putting electrolytic caps in parallel but in "antiphase" means that one cap will be reverse biased when placed between potentials in a circuit - won't it destroy itself???
They are non-polar, thus a "+/-" ala super E can be done without any danger. You can of course NOT do this on regular electrolytics like BG FK...

Murder Charges Handed Down to Dylan Tompkins
( Hamilton, OH ) - 20-year-old Dylan Tompkins was arrested last month for allegedly shaking, squeezing and slapping 1-year-old Bryce Pelfrey. This week, a Butler County grand jury upgraded those charges to murder.
On August 2, police responded to an apartment on Marilou Drive in Hamilton when they received the report of a baby not breathing. The child died two days later from what police said were inter-cranial head injuries.
Tompkins is currently being held on a $150,000 bond in the Butler County Jail.

The DC Board of Elections today officially certified for the November ballot an initiative that will legalize the cultivation and possession of small amounts of marijuana. DC now joins Alaska and Oregon in voting on marijuana legalization this fall.
The initiative will allow adults 21 and older to possess up to two ounces of marijuana and cultivate up to six plants -- with no more than three being mature -- in their private residences. Adults will also be allowed to give away up to an ounce of marijuana, but any sales would still be criminal. The initiative will also remove penalties for using and selling marijuana paraphernalia.
Because DC law forbids taxation through the initiative process, the initiative does not create a system of taxed and regulated marijuana sales. If the initiative passes, it will be up to the DC city council to take the final steps toward full-blown legal marijuana commerce in the nation's capital.
"It is clear from the number of signatures the campaign was able to submit that the citizens of the district would like to have a say in reforming the marijuana laws of the District," said Dr. Malik Burnett, vice-chair of the DC Cannabis Campaign and the DC Policy Manager for Drug Policy Action, the lobbying and campaign arm of the Drug Policy Alliance. "The policies of prohibition in the District have been borne on the backs of black and brown men for decades, by voting YES on 71, District residents can put an end to this failed policy."
"This initiative comes at a great time and in a great place," said Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. "The District has one of the country's highest rates of racial disparities in arrest and is right at Congress's doorstep, where more and more political leaders from both sides of the aisle are beginning to follow their constituents in recognizing that drug policy reform is one of the most effective ways to address the problems of our current criminal justice system."
According to an ACLU report released last year, Washington, DC has the highest arrest rate for marijuana possession in the country, with blacks more than eight times as likely as white to be arrested, despite similar rates of use.
Led by longtime DC political activist Adam Eidinger, the DC Cannabis Campaign counted on support of local citizens, Drug Policy Action, and Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps to come up with the money to make the ballot. Now, it's on to winning in November.

WebVisible Cuts Staff As Mangers Steps Down, Burr Takes Over
Irvine-based WebVisible, which provides online advertising to small and medium sized businesses, has made a major change in its organization today, saying that it has made a fifteen percent reduction in its headcount, and shuffled its CEO. According to WebVisible, NetZero founder Ron Burr--who has been the firm's COO--is taking over as CEO, as founder Kirsten Mangers has stepped down. Mangers remains on the board of directors. According to WebVisible, the cuts come to "realign" the company to focus on performance, quality in scale, and "healthy growth." Burr has been COO of the company since 2009, and was founder of ISP NetZero. WebVisible said that Mangers plans to "dedicate more time to philanthropic activities."

What is this type of connection called?
Sorry for the upside down image. Anyway, I accidentally soldered one of these so it wasn't flexible anymore, and we need new ones anyway. But I have no idea what it's called. I asked the engineer that works with me and he's not sure either. It's kind of a silly question, but I need new ones. Anyone know what this connection is? Thanks in advance
Do a search on Molex. That is a common connector...but the actual one will depend on the connector body being used.
They will be specific to the manufacturer. You need to determine who makes the plug. Post a picture of the entire connector and maybe someone can identify it.
I will post a picture Monday, the piece is at work.
It's part of a plug / header assembly !
Dont know for sure if it's available as a spare part,
As its usually part of an assembly.
They make them smaller.
Try the McMaster-Carr website. They sell more miscellaneous doodads than any place I've ever seen.

Okay, so here are some pictures of the full connector. (Please don't lynch me! I know it's ugly, but it's homemade, and I'm not an electrician :P)
Basically the idea is to connect a standard 5mm LED to a power supply, and have it fit snugly inside our instrument. Every standard LED power supply I've seen is to power strips of LEDs, not just one, and I'm not sure how we'd get a strip to work properly for our purposes. The connector I showed earlier goes into the red rubber piece, allowing for a snug connection for the LED. The electrical tape near the end of the thick black power cord is where the resistor sits.
Although I would like to repair this to get it working, I would much rather just have a way to power one single LED that's actually meant to do just that, and we don't want to drop several hundred dollars on an ocean optics power supply which is why we had this rigged solution. If anyone knows of any other methods of achieving this I am all ears.
Try amphenol or molex. I did find this under molex;

Apple's Siri voice-command feature isn't exactly flawless on the iPhone 4S, a shortcoming that points to the limitations of today's speech recognition software. But when Siri works well, it's both helpful and fun. Android users can acquire a degree of Siri-style functionality with Google's Voice Actions for Android, which performs a specific set of vocal commands, such as "map of [address/city]" and "go to [website]." For a natural-language experience (i.e., more Siri-like), try Speaktoit Assistant, a free "virtual buddy" that answers questions, finds information, launches apps, and so on. And Vlingo, another free virtual helper, is handy for sending texts and emails, and updating your status on Facebook and Twitter.

Our graduates have used their experience to secure a variety of employment opportunities and as the basis for their continuing education in GIS and related fields. Take a look at what they are doing now. We are very proud of them!
Erika Eigenberger
Job Title: Archaeology Project Director
Sample Job Duties: Manage archaeological projects, complete agency coordination, coordinate and direct cultural staff, monitor construction activities in culturally sensitive areas, analyze pre-contact and historic period cultural materials, complete background research and literature reviews, author cultural reports, create field maps, complete spatial analysis, and prepare GPS units for field survey.
"The online GIS program at ICC is designed for student success. Classes follow a logical progression and the staff is extremely supportive and very accessible when questions arise. Completion of this program has allowed me to branch out from my normal working duties as an archaeologist by taking the lead on deliverables that were previously addressed by other departments. I can now assemble data, complete analysis, and produce field and reporting maps for my own projects which not only saves time, but also allows me greater control of the final product. This program has also allowed me to assist with more company-wide GIS tasks, something that has been a great help during the winter months when fieldwork is not available. Regardless of your career path or current discipline, the completion of this program definitely opens doors and provides students with a valuable skill set. It's a great choice, whether you are interested strictly in GIS or if you simply want to apply GIS knowledge to your current field."
Andrew Kurth
Sample Job Duties: Research and analyze historic and environmental data, write technical reports and environmental permit applications, perform cultural resources survey, data verification, and archaeological site monitoring for infrastructure projects in diverse environmental settings throughout the Midwest.
"The ICC GIS Program has allowed me to diversify my skill set and gain a better understanding of the role GIS can play in Archaeology. The program provides an excellent opportunity for professionals to gain valuable GIS experience while still working fulltime."
Eric Englund
Sample Job Duties: Manage Storm Water (SWP) and Spill Prevention (SPCC) projects for multiple clients, create/manage GIS databases used in inspection planning, environmental permitting, and generation of inspection maps for clients.
"ICC first introduced me to GIS through a pilot program during my senior year in high school which was offered for college credit. Once at ICC I continued to take the GIS classes where I learned skills in cartography, remote sensing, database creation, and spatial analysis & modeling. The skills I learned have helped to advance me in my professional career and continue to provide opportunities in industry."
Michael Sawdo
Nathan Kosbau
Erin McClenahan
"ICC gave me exactly what I needed to get started in the GIS field. They had the equipment needed to learn the program, an internship program that placed me exactly where I wanted to be to learn the type of GIS work I wanted to do after graduation, and an excellent instructor who knew GIS and how to teach the material. If it weren't for the GIS program at ICC I would not be doing what I love today."

Gator's Classic series are definitely classics in the wakeboard world. This full size mens' Classic board is built on a compressed polyurethane foam core that gives the board snappy response and crisp feel, while absorbing the occasional impact caused by a slightly off landing or wake crossing. Composite fiberglass wrapping seals the core and gives endurability and toughness that'll last, and Gator's unique V hull makes for a stable ride that keeps you off the chop. Decorations? No need for weird art with this one - the performance speaks plenty loud without fancy graphics.
