GSA Online Auction of Middle River Station Portends Area Redevelopment
September 22, 2006
Contact: Maryanne Beatty (202) 501-1231
Washington D.C. – Today, the U.S. General Services Administration online auction of Middle River Station closed with a final bid of $37.5 million for the historic 1.9 million square foot facility.
"GSA views the Middle River Station as a valuable asset and is pleased the bidders have confirmed that vision," said David L. Winstead, GSA's Commissioner for Public Buildings. "A refurbished Middle River Station can be truly catalytic to local and regional development, which, in turn, will bring significant economic benefits for the area's inhabitants." Winstead went on to say that, "Indeed, the redevelopment of this GSA warehouse will play an important role in the continued revitalization of this area under the County's new Renaissance Redevelopment Pilot Program.
The former World War II Glenn L. Martin manufacturing plant sits on 50 acres strategically located near several main transportation arteries and is near a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, only 13 miles northeast of the city of Baltimore. It is listed on the Maryland Historical Trust's Register and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
"Middle River Station and Baltimore County are ready for a development team that shares the County's and community's vision for a lively mix of business, residential and commercial uses in this historic building," stated Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith. "We look forward to working with the winning bidder to make this vision reality."
GSA's Office of Real Property Disposal managed the sale process of the Middle River Station. For more information about GSA's auction process or future sales, visit GSA Real Property Disposal Online Auctions or the real property disposal portal page.

Yep, I've seen mine do that as well. The silly fellow sat there for, oh, about fifteen minutes moving gravel piece by piece, then decided that whatever it was he was doing wouldn't work and off he went to play "land on top of a friend" (that's Loach Rule #2 in action: "Never land on clear space if there's another loach around to land on, he won't mind, really".

In case that in itself wasn't challenging enough, I did it on about 4 hours of sleep. (Crazy, I know, but I couldn't get myself to bed at a reasonable hour before my 6am alarm).
Oh, and it was freaking hot... an added challenge that I'm going to have to get used to. My pal Matt and I ran the whole 16 together, and Bob joined us for the first 8. Bob had the right idea. By the time we were running the last few miles, it had reached 85 degrees. We had to take a couple of walk breaks to fend off some dizziness and stomach issues since we're not used to running in this kind of heat just yet, but we finished around 2:53ish. With an average of a 10:50 pace, I'll take it in this heat!
I know I've got many more hot runs ahead of me, but the hardest part is always these first few when I'm still getting acclimated to the heat.
I spent the rest of the morning/afternoon sitting outside at the yard sale I was doing with my parents. I attempted to take a quick nap, but I was never really able to fall asleep.
Then, I was off to my running pal Andrea's wedding. I was excited to share in her special day, but I was definitely exhausted by the time I drove home.
I can't say that I recommend trying to cram so much into one day, but sometimes you just do what you've gotta do to get it all done. Not surprisingly, I crashed hard as soon as I hit the pillow at 11pm, and I didn't wake up until 9:30 the next morning. And then I still crashed hard again last night. Sometimes I forget how draining these runs can be!
All in all, I'm feeling a bit more confident about my preparation for San Francisco. I've still got to make sure I stay on top of the training in the weeks to come, but now that I got a solid long run under my belt I feel more sure that I'll be able to go the distance on race day.

3 Field Regiment
The 3rd Field Regiment was formed in 1940 through the amalgamation of the field artillery batteries in Dunedin and Christchurch, and tasked with training reinforcements for the 2nd and 3rd NZ Divisions. It used the areas of Addington, Burnham, Wingatui and Hororata. In 1946 the Regiment became the New Zealand Army's South Island-based field regiment and in 1949 moved its headquarters to Central Battery in Dunedin.
By 1950, with Compulsory Military Training in effect in New Zealand, the Regiment consisted of a Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) and 31 Battery based in Dunedin, 32 Battery in Addington Barracks in Christchurch, and 33 Battery in Invercargill. In 1961, with the disbanding of 33 Battery, RHQ moved to Burnham Camp, near Christchurch. In 1967 a Headquarters Battery was raised in Burnham and, in 1979, 32(E) Battery moved out to the camp, creating a mixed Regular Force/Territorial Force sub-unit known as Training Troop.
In 1978, the Regiment, equipped with 105-mm M101A1 Howitzers, consisted of RHQ, HQ Battery, 32(E) Battery and a Light Aid Detachment (all at Burnham), and 31(B) Battery in Dunedin.
The Regiment was disbanded in 1990, with the two gun batteries remaining in service as independent batteries. When 31(B) Battery was disbanded on 12 June 1999, there ended the Dunedin artillery connection that started with the formation of the Dunedin Volunteer Artillery Corps in 1863. The gunners of 31(B) Battery were absorbed into the Otago and Southland Regiment. The 31(B) flag, a 25-pr and M101A1 Howitzer will be kept in Dunedin. 32(E) Battery fired its guns for the last time on 7 June 1999 in Hagley Park, Christchurch, when it fired the customary 21 gun salute to mark the Queen's birthday. 32(E) Battery was reformed to become an Observation Party (OP) troop attached to the Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast Regiment, a Territorial Force unit which has a number of training roles for the New Zealand Army.

Torture is the use of physical or mental pain, often to obtain information, to punish a person , or to control the members of a group to which the tortured person belongs. During the Elizabethan times crimes were treated as we would treat a murder today. Stretching, burning, beating the body, and suffocating a person with water were the most common ways to torture a person in the Elizabethan times.
The purpose of torture was to break the will of the victim and to dehumanize him or her. The intent was also to punish, obtain information, extract a confession from the victim or a third party, or to intimidate the victim and others.
Torture has been used for at least 2,000 years and has been widespread. Early Greek and Roman laws specified that only slaves could be tortured, but soon freemen could be tortured in cases of treason. The right to torture slaves was abolished in Roman law in AD 240. In the Middle Ages, torture was included in proceedings of the Catholic Church, which legally employed torture to obtain confessions.
It was during the times of the Tudors that the use of torture reached its height in England. Under Henry VIII, torture was frequently used. When Edward and Mary were on the throne, torture wasn't used as much. However, when Elizabeth took the throne, torture was used more than in any other period of history. Queen Elizabeth thought that treason was one of the worst crimes that could be committed, and the majority of incidents of torture were for reasons of high treason. Lords and high officials were exempted, and woman were rarely put through torture.
The punishment for poisoning during this period was to be boiled to death. Mutilation and branding were also common. People often had their right hand cut off if they were caught stealing, and on certain occasions eyes were plucked out with hot pinchers and fingers were torn off.
Some minor cruelties included the pillory, the stocks, the finger pillory, the ducking stool, and the ranks. The dunking stool was a stool or chair in which a woman who had been accused of adultery or other crimes would be repeatedly dunked under water until pronounced dead.
The pillory was another device that was commonly used. There were a couple of different forms of the pillory. One is still known of today. The pillory was a frame in the shape of a T, usually placed in the center of the town. The accused would place his/her hands in the cross bar of the T with his/her head sticking out of a hole at the top. The accused then had to stay in the pillory for an extremely long time and would be harassed by everyone that crossed his/her path.
Another form of the pillory that isn't as widely known was for the feet. This device had holes through which the toes were forced; then the toes were crushed with a hammer and wedge. This form of pillory had much less emotional pain, but the excruciating physical pain was much more enduring.
The harsher the crime committed, the more horrendous the punishment during this time. A person accused of manslaughter, rape, or robbery, might find himself trapped in cages hung up in public places where others could observe his slow death. Right before being pronounced dead, he was taken down and quartered until the pain finally killed him.
Nowadays these torture devices seem cruel and heartless, but in the sixteenth century cruel punishment was a normal everyday thing. Under the Tudors, torture flourished throughout England. The result was a country living in fear of being the next victims.

Obama Props Up the Case Against 8
US Justice Department to file brief in Supreme Court Case
By Brandon Watson,
5:33PM, Thu. Feb. 28, 2013
President Barack Obama appears to be returning the favor to the broad support LGBT Americans provided in his re-election effort. Today the White House confirmed that the United States Department of Justice will file a brief in support of overturning California's Proposition 8 – which banned same-sex marriages in the state.
Although previously the administration has held firm that marriage equality falls under the domain of states, increasingly the administration has changed their argument. Recently Atty. Gen. Eric Holder referred to marriage equality as "really the latest civil-rights issue."
The White House support will be the latest in a deluge of briefs urging the Supreme Court to strike down the law. Earlier in the week, a group of conservative leaders (and Clint Eastwood) surprised many by making their support of marriage equality official. On Wednesday, 278 cosigners – including major companies like Apple and Citigroup – filed a separate brief calling for an end to Prop 8. Bubbly right-wing debutante Peter LaBarbera of hate group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality predictably called the push a "a tool of repression against Christians and people of faith," at least getting the "tool" part right.

Newt Gingrich is leading South Carolina in several new polls and his violent rhetoric towards President Obama may be the reason why. Not too long ago, Newt Gingrich told voters that not only would he "bloody President Obama's nose," he'd "knock him out." Racist South Carolinians seem to be responding with glee to those remarks so Gingrich is including the threat in a fundraising email.
"From: RC Hammond – Newt
A Bloody Nose Just Won't Cut It
Dear Friend and Supporter, Speaker Gingrich was recently asked at a townhall event how he would "bloody Obama's nose," and his response proved once again why he would be the best Republican nominee for President: "I don't want to bloody his nose, I want to knock him out!" "
This is clearly violent rhetoric directed at the sitting President of the United States. The sad part is that it seems to be helping the Gingrich campaign. So when are the other candidates going to ratchet up the rhetoric?

Two of the biggest breakthroughs in pain management in the last 10 years- patient controlled analgesia (PCAs) and epidural analgesia-were put in place. PCA machines were set up throughout the hospital, enabling patients to push a button to give themselves doses of opiates whenever they wanted to subdue or avoid pain. Two out of three post-surgery patients now administer painkillers to themselves.
PCAs not only control pain, they promote faster recovery. One study showed that PCA patients were discharged 4.6 days earlier than patients receiving standard injections of painkillers administered by nurses. PCA patients saved an average of $1,735 on their hospital bills.

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) — The Crystal Cathedral megachurch will immediately file plans to emerge from bankruptcy by selling its 40-acre Southern California campus and famous glass-spired church to a real estate investment group.
The church's bankruptcy attorney, Marc Winthrop, says Friday the plan includes a 15-year leaseback guarantee, with the option of buying back the core church campus within four years at a fixed price.
He says the leaseback provision means worshippers wouldn't see any changes in services or outreach, and operations at the ministry would remain the same.
The world-famous church filed for Chapter 11 last year with about $36 million in mortgage debt and $7.5 million in debt to unpaid vendors.
Winthrop says the plan that requires approval by a judge would wipe out most of what the church owes.

I wanted to write this review to help other people who want to have Co2 laser resurfacing due to the fact I found very little reviews online or actual experience with traditional Co2 laser resurfacing not Fraxel. I wanted to have Co2 for a long time as I knew it was the laser with the most productive results out there. I always had lots of fine lines under my eyes which progressed with time and unfortunately for a few years of my life I was addicted to tanning beds and tanning in general. So much that I would go once a day for an extended period of time. I can't stress enough how much damage that did to my skin and how this is one of the ways I had to pay for it years later. Nonetheless, one can't turn back time- so here I was and I had to improve it.
I did as much research as I could and found a doctor who is a laser specialist in Florida. Dr. John J. Martin came highly recommended by a former patient and two other doctors I know. I was mostly afraid of the pain involved and the downtime. In fact there was really no pain but there is a huge amount of downtime. First of all I want to say that Dr. Martin and his staff are beyond amazing. I have had A LOT, and I mean A LOT of plastic surgery and have known many doctors, have had consultations with even more-and the quality of care and after care I have received from this practice really is exceptional and almost second to none. I decided to have several procedures done at one time- the full face Co2, some scar revisions, upper lift reduction, platysmaplasty and cervicoplasty (in other words an extensive neck lift) and he reshaped my earlobes which had been left distorted by a previous facelift. The total surgical time was about 4 hours, and really what scared me the most was the Co2 laser, I was afraid it was going to burn like crazy. The only time I really felt any burning was directly after the surgery before the Flexan dressing was applied. I was complaining of the stinging right after and the nurses told me as soon as we put the dressing on it will not burn as much. They were right it did not burn at all afterwards. The wost part was my face and eyes were so swollen and the net put over the dressing was pulling my left eye down badly and when I got home my eye was really bothering me, however when I adjusted the net, it felt much better. Though the eyes were uncomfortable for several days. The most trying part was initially because you must care for the procedure by putting damp cloths constantly over the dressing to avoid it sticking to your skin and to relieve any burning or stinging and applying Vaseline to the lash lines. The dressing makes it nearly impossible to chew and sleeping is a challenge. As I mentioned there was no actual pain just a lot, and I mean A LOT of discomfort.
Three days later the dressing was removed and I looked like a tomato. The swelling was terrible and the bruising and swelling in my neck incredible. I never, ever bruise but apparently this type of neck lift causes a lot of bruising and swelling. Because I was religious with taking care of the Flexan, it came off very easy so cleaning was not difficult.
At Dr. Martin's office the after care is exceptional- you can go everyday and they will clean it and take care of it for you until you do not need to come anymore. The worst part of the cleaning was the under eyes, it was very sore at times. I was advised to apply Vaseline liberally at home and to keep applying the wet cloths, Which I did. The surprising part was that the neck turned out to be much more challenging than the Co2. I was not expecting that. There was no pain involved but the swelling seemed endless. It has been about 7 weeks post op and just recently has it begun to normalize but there is still a lot of swelling. I am still swollen over all but it is much better. What I can say about anyone considering the Co2 is that you MUST, MUST be mentally prepared for this procedure. It is very challenging mentally and you must be extremely diligent with your after care at home. I would say it is impossible to get through it the first week or two without help.
You will look ABSOLUTELY terrible for a long time. For me, I honestly did not begin to look better about 5 weeks in. As I said, it has been 7 weeks and I am still pink and the under eye skin it is still a darker pink/red. As I understand that area takes the longest, and it won't be about 6 months or so before I see the complete results overall. But now, the redness can be camouflaged with mineral make up. But I cay say I see an over all improvement in my skin already and the wrinkles under my eyes are pretty much gone. The skin is overall smoother, tighter, and very even- there are no marks or freckles from the sun left.
One of the issues I did have was slight hyper pigmentation under one eye and on a small part of one cheek. Dr. Martin gave me a product which resolved that in about two weeks. I have also been using a steroid topical (one week on and off) and started IPL laser to help with the redness. There are a tons of little 'things' with this surgery that you will deal with. Through it all, the doctor and his staff helped me deal with all of them. I can't stress enough how important it is to find someone EXTREMELY skilled to do this type of laser. It is very difficult and requires so much after care that I think a lot of plastic surgeons don't want to deal with it. Yet, you will not get the resurfacing results with any other laser that you will get with the traditional Co2. You will also need what will seem like an endless amount of patience. I am 7 weeks post op and still recovering and improving.
I hope this helps with anyone who has questions about the Co2. I will try to update it after a few weeks to provide improvements. Best of luck.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
Information services company Lead411 has released its Tech 200 list of the fastest growing tech companies in the US. With applicants from across the nation, the list was narrowed down to the top 200 across multiple industries.
About the Tech 200
In its third year, the Tech 200 list ranks tech companies with the highest percent of revenue growth from 2009 to 2011. Lead411 calculates revenue growth by percentages vs. dollar growth. The full list can be found here.
Applicants were required to be privately held, U.S. based companies with at least $1 million in revenue in 2011. Finalists came from diverse industries including Software, Hardware, Media, Advertising, Wireless, Telecom, IT Services, and Consulting.
"Judging from this year's list--which had several of last year's winners, I'd say the economy is definitely improving," said Tom Blue, founder of Lead411, "Seeing the tremendous growth these companies have experienced tells me the market conditions are getting better."
As part of their application, participants were given a survey about their marketing spend, funding, economic outlook and startup details. Survey results revealed this year that the average start date for the companies on the list was 2000, showing that many of the companies are truly newer startups.
The companies were asked whether they thought the US economy would get better in the next 12 months. Those that answered yes showed an increase in sales by 64% more than those that thought it would get worse.
Finalists of this year's Tech 200 list include Rocket Fuel, SEOMoz and Climber, as well as Marketo, Zillow, InfusionSoft, MHD Enterprises, and RepEquity. View the full list here.

Boys, I need some help. While I was about to bolt the new gasket in, I !@#$#@#@!@#$ the first screw on torque.
WHAT torque do the bolts on valve cover gasket needs to be? I read somewhere 7ft-pound and I was bolting it to to 7, but cracked/ripped the nut from engine assembly (don't you laugh at it ). Much to my luck, that screw on the engine is not part of the engine (now I will have to ask the $stealer for replacement and car is going to be out of action for few days). So please help with torque values.
Also, while I was changing the gasket (still am with the car in garage and engine open with missing bolt), I checked the spark plugs and they are NGK. I have attached picture of contact points. Do you think I should change it?

Following one of the best weeks of the year, stocks headed lower on Monday. The September Empire Manufacturing Survey reported its worst reading since April 2009, and several steel-related stocks were downgraded by JPMorgan analysts.
Rumors that President Obama was ready to release the strategic petroleum reserve were denied late in the day. But the damage had already been done to oil stocks and the materials sector.
At Monday's close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 40 points at 13,553, the S&P 500 fell 5 points to 1,461, and the Nasdaq fell 5 points to 3,179. The NYSE traded 666 million shares and the Nasdaq traded 363 million. Decliners were ahead of advancers on the Big Board by 2.2-to-1 and by 1.6-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
There is no doubt that the Nasdaq has broken out. We have to go all the way back to 2001 to find the next resistance (and that is too far to have much meaning), and so we are not able to provide an immediate target for the breakout.
However, it is clear that the first support is at the breakout line at 3,122. Measuring the distance between the low at 2,727 and the breakout point at 3,122 is 395. Added to 3,122 we get a rough target of 3,517, or more than 10% from Monday's close.
Like the Nasdaq, the first support for the S&P 500 is the breakout line — in this case the close at 1,418. May 2008's peak at 1,440 could be a target for the current breakout. But if we use the same reasoning we did to establish a target for the Nasdaq, the target is much higher: 1,418 – 1,267 = 151 + 1,418 = 1,569, which is very close to the all-time high at 1,576 made in October 2007.
Conclusion: Last week's move by the Fed of purchasing $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month for an indefinite period resulted in a dramatic breakout. However, near term it left the markets somewhat overbought. But it was a meaningful breakout with all of the volume needed to confirm it as genuine. Following a modest pullback stocks should head higher.

HOUSTON -- The world's largest medical center is looking to get even bigger.
The Texas Medical Center is in the midst of the largest amount of construction in its history, with planned projects through 2014 totaling more than $7 billion, officials said Wednesday. Most of the new construction will be for facilities for patient care, with the rest for research and office space.
There is more construction going on at the medical center than the rest of Houston combined, with about 60 percent of the construction cranes in the city at the world-renown facility.
The medical center has been home to such famed physicians as Michael DeBakey, the pioneer of coronary bypass surgery, and Denton Cooley, who performed the first artificial heart implant.
Officials say the medical center's square footage is already greater than the combined square footage of downtown buildings in El Paso, Fort Worth and San Antonio.
It ranks 17th on a list of major downtown business districts
nationally, just below Los Angeles, and would shoot up to seventh with all the planned construction, said Richard Wainerdi, the president and chief executive of the medical center.
"It's very exciting," said Bob Stott, the medical center's executive vice president for planning and development.
Stott attributed the medical center's growth spurt in part to the growing population in Houston and its suburbs. According to U.S. Census projections, Harris County's population is estimated to grow by 1 million residents in the next two decades with another 1 million in surrounding counties.
"Houston is just growing so fast," Stott said. "All the institutions (at the medical center) are sensing they need to expand as well."
The construction of new hospitals, clinics, research labs and other facilities will mean more jobs, said John Kajander, the medical center's senior vice president.
The current work force of 73,000 is expected to increase by more than 30,000 by 2014.
On any given day, more than 160,000 people visit the Texas Medical Center, including doctors, nurses, patients, students and volunteers, Stott said. The medical center is home to 46 institutions, including private, not-for-profit health facilities and government agencies.
Officials said they are working to ensure the medical center's
operations run smoothly during this construction boom by improving roads and working with the city and state to improve access to the facility from area highways.

Why do some people refuse to bathe? Can't they smell themselves?
Answers: I've heard that actualy they want you to smell them. It's like something that manifests from trauma in their life.
actually they can not, they are so use to the smell that it becomes white noise and doesn't bother them.
I cant afford water
I spend all my money on beer
Some cultures have different bathing rituals than ours. Some people have persperation problems that are not easy to control.
Some people are slobs.
I think they're just doing it to be mean to other people who have to smell them.
they are so close you would think so but some just don't care and are lazy
I'd like to think they don't smell themselves just because I'd like to think that they are aware of their body and whatever smells may be coming out of it. But if I'm honest with myself, I think there will always be those people out there who claim to never had heard of deoderant and spray their clothes with Febreeze rather than washing them. Ew.
cause they are possibly scared of water,or they just like to be scurvey
i don't know, you tell us?
how grosse!
They may have mental illness or are trying to conserve water or don't have a place to shower or clean clothes to change in to..
Some of them has to do with their culture, other people are just nasty and they don't like to take showers.
why, i don't know maybe they are trying to get into the Guinness book of world records
and no they can't smell themselves because their nose is used to it
just try staying in a room that stinks you'll be like OMG & blah blah blah then within a few minutes u won't smell a thing
hey I know what you mean I am a nurse and when you say shower or bath you get dogs abuse and that's from the elderly lol
Some people have an actual medical condition that causes bad body odor. Try not to judge everyone when you know nothing about them. They can't help it!
Maybe they are afraid of soap - or related to the wicked witch of the west (help me, i'm melllltttiiinngggg!!.) lol
Actually some cultures use certain scented oils to bath and it makes them smell worse than normal BO ?!
They probably develop a tolerance for the smell. Like people who say they're excellent housekeepers, but their houses are filthy. Just different standards of "clean" from one person to the other. Of course, there are people who strangely smell really nice even though they haven't bathed in a day or so. I know two people like that.I which one of them was me!
Yes. But some people are not brought up with any common sense, morals or respect for themselves.
i cannot as i have a persistent thrush

Apoptosis is defined as a mechanism of cell death which occurs after sufficient cellular damage. It occurs normally during development and aging and is considered a vital component of cell turnover, cell development and function of the immune system. It occurs as a defense mechanism such as in immune reactions or when cells are damaged by disease or noxious agents.

Apoptosis Signaling Pathway
Apoptosis is a physiological process for cell death that is critical during aging and development. It may also be referred to as cell 'suicide'. Apoptosis can be triggered by events both inside and outside of the cell.View pathway or download PDF
Apoptosis and Disease
Apoptosis, in general, confers advantages during an organism's life cycle. Between 50 billion and 70 billion cells die each day due to apoptosis in the average human adult. In a year, this amounts to the proliferation and subsequent destruction of a mass of cells equal to an individual's body weight. Inappropriate apoptosis is a factor in many human conditions including neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic damage, autoimmune disorders and many types of cancer. The ability to modulate the life or death of a cell is recognized for its profound therapeutic potential, and research continues to focus on the elucidation of the cell cycle machinery and signaling pathways that control cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Deep Slumber Lake is an artist duo consisting of Todd White and Zachary Scheinbaum. Their imaginative wanderings into the ancient and epic themes of swordcraft, battle axes, and wizardry are grand in scale. These guys spent a lot of time in each other's basements with 10 sided dice and Priest blasting on the record player. Overlaying this teenage-metal-shredder imagery is a beautiful sense of line work and composition.
SL: Can you describe your creative process, from the inception of an idea to its creation?
DSL: Because we live in different parts of the country, Todd in Boston and Zac in Santa Fe, we only work in physical proximity a few times a year. When making our large-scale paintings, we make a point of doing all the work together which essentially makes our process a self imposed painting marathon lasting a week or two. This concentrated, frenzied approach is highly productive, but leaves us bordering on insanity.
The inception of the image begins with a series of conversations around what we currently find interesting or inspiring and how we might integrate them into the constructed world we share. This conversion continues throughout the drawing process. We exchange ideas on how to compose the image and fill the picture space, equally editing each other's perspectives. We do not make any preliminary drawings, so there is not a predetermined outcome regarding the subject matter.
One clear objective we have as collaborators is to work towards each other, and become something more than we would be alone. While working over whole surfaces of the painting, we continually switch places and hand off brushes so each person can be involved in every area of the painting. Although we could look at the drawings and say, I drew that tree and he drew that one, the piece remains seamless to the outside observer. It is really exciting to see the work come together and know that it is something beyond us as individuals.
SL: Many of your drawings deal with epic and ancient of themes, such as battleaxes, bongs, wizards and mythological characters. Can you talk a little bit about your gravitation towards this particular iconography?
DSL: Mythical thought has been suppressed or marginalized in some ways by literalist religious and academic interpretation. But myth will persist and manifest itself to a receptive audience. The subculture of stoner/doom metal is one such audience, and so to adapt within the cultural framework, the battle-axe comes with the bong and the wizard becomes Electric Wizard. Our perspectives are fluid, from actively engaged members of this culture, to observing and poking fun at its inevitable shortfalls and whimsical tangents.
TW: Symbolic, mythic images can become personal and meaningful but they need to be restored to the realm of the imagination. Art is a way of understanding what these myths have to offer without demanding that you believe in something fixed, narrow, or empirically untrue.
ZS:I think that working towards "epic" and fantastical themes is something that we do a lot in our subconscious minds. The music embodies so much imagery of said things, along with books, and video games, the drawings are just yet another way for all of us to live in an alternate reality.
SL: Would you describe your work as being immersed in "sword and sorcery" characterized by "a strong bias toward fast-paced, action-rich tales set within a quasi-mythical or fantastical framework" or high or epic fantasy "set in or invented in parallel worlds, often epic in scope, dealing with themes of grand struggle against supernatural, evil force"?
DSL: High Fantasy in an invented parallel universe makes sense. We generally resist the specificity of an action, meaning a very particular moment in time. Instead the images strive to portray visions of a place in which all-time can unfold and be still instead of active. Similar in many regards to the landscape of the sublime, if figures are present, they are meager observers of the natural, elemental, spiritual forces that are tangibly active within the scene. Our epic implies forces as well, but we tend to be ambiguous about whether the challenging force is evil or not. Often the potentially "evil" force is the perspective we are most sympathetic to, and we would much rather expand upon that.
SL: Not unlike Frank Frazetta's most epic album contributions, your work has a pretty strong link to heavy metal—what would you say the connection between metal music and fantastical themes is? Why do you think that style of music lends itself to wizardry?
DSL: Well I think that something we have always said is that sounds evoke emotional and visual impressions. Heavy music creates sounds that seem to originate from imaginative, fantastical, and spiritual planes. The sounds will remove you from present sense of place, and the lyrics shape the adventure at hand. It is almost hallucinogenic in its creative vastness. It makes sense that a band might identify with the wizard. Without the wizard there is no adventure. He is the point at which the transformative adventure begins and the guiding hand that will see the adventurer through. "Misty morning, clouds in the sky, without warning a wizard walks by…" or " Down came a dragon with a wizard on his back…" In this realm, if the band wants to be the instigator and the conductor, then they must become the wizard.
ZS: The metal music genre has been fantastical since the early days of its origination. These days the "evil" aspect really takes over a lot, with cheesy zombie stuff and corpse eating, but its all still sort of living in this fantastical world. It's always there. I find that most music has an image that goes along with it, it just seems like a natural path, I mean you just listen to metal and think of some amazing epic story.
SL: How did you two meet and begin working with each other? Which elements of the drawings do each of you contribute to?
ZS: We both attended the School for the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and our mutual friend Liz Prince, (the comic artist) worked there alongside Todd. I would go to the library and me and Todd would listen to metal and laugh about power metal. I didn't even know what type of artwork he did for the first year I was there. Then one day I was looking through the studios upstairs and found his work and was like blown away. He had this huge painting of an eagle in flight, and I remember thinking oh man that eagle would look so sweet with a bearded mystic type on his back. So the next time I saw Todd I said that we should try and do a collaboration with some dude on an eagle. So we decided to get together one weekend and try a few drawings out. We never drew the eagle or I don't even think mentioned it again, but when we got together it just sort of clicked. We created someone else, we created this "third" artist that neither of us could have done alone. It was awesome! I think that overtime our styles have really changed and evolved, and have become more refined, but I really think that we sort of both do everything. We try to each switch around a lot and share everything. We like the drawings to be "ours" not Zac's or Todd's.
SL: Most of your works seems to be ink on paper- can you talk a little bit about the materials you use?
DSL: Well I would say that mostly we use, large scale paper with a mix of sumi/higgins design ink mixed with walnut ink. Then sometimes pencil to add finer detail. More recent works have been on a smaller scale with a lot of watercolors and graphite. Just recently we have taken two pretty large strides in new directions. We made gigantic felt banners that are based off of family house banners. We tried to make a sort of good and evil banner for Deep Slumber Lake. Working with a felt material allowed us to breach some of the gap with our work being so … "masculine". It allowed us to take a craft that has been historically produced by women, sewing and quilting, and incorporate it into our process. Then the other big step we have taken recently, is we did a collaboration with Meghan Tomeo, (www.meghantomeo.com) the video artist, where we made a three way collaborative animation. I think that taking the step into video through Meg was a very natural and easy process for us. She made it so easy to just sort of turn our drawings into living things. This is a direction we would love to keep moving in also. The music for the animation was another new thing for us to do together. We both play in bands, but we were able to make a tape cassette recording of a unwritten jam and sort of edit it and turn it into the music for the animation.
SL: Are your images accompanied by any sort of magical narratives? For examples your characters, "The Tyrant," "The Hermit," or the "Hippy Wiz,"—do they have backstories of how their powerful sorcery or personalities came into being?
DSL: Through our conversations we develop some peripheral stories, but we never intend to communicate this information. There is not a fixed narrative perspective, its more speculative, even for us.
SL: If your artwork were a wizard from the history of wizards, which would it be?
DSL: Gandalf, if instead of smiting the Balrog on top the mountain, made a dark alliance with the beast. And in turn becomes Gandalf "The Dark Grey" who freely rides the fiery Balrog. That would be us. Gandalf "The Dark Grey" cruising Middle-Earth on the most badass of creatures.
SL: Who are some of your favorite artists, and what are your favorite sources of inspiration from music, literature, philosophy…?
DSL: I would say that classical drawing and printmaking have had a large influence on us, Durer and Gustave Dore especially. We have directly quoted from some of Dore's drawings of beasts and demons. His work is so imaginative but has the precision of observed realty, that inspires belief into even the most outlandish scenarios. A lot of video work is really inspiring too, from video art (Barney) to Hollywood blockbusters(Conan, willow, LOTR etc…) Obviously myths from many countries mainly Norse and Japanese. The human body, anatomy, scientific illustrations. We like all types of metal but the riff-heavy down-tempo Stoner/Doom/Psychedelic metal Electric Wizard, Sleep, Sabbath, Mammatus, Boris, Dead Meadow, Neurosis, Ancestors, Rwake, Melvins, Big Business, High On Fire, Earthless, Earth, SunnO))), Black Cobra are some important bands to us. Hammers of Misfortune's first album The Bastard is conceptually breathtaking and really fun to listen too. I think we where both obsessed with that last year.
TW: Joseph Campbell would be the most important philosophical perspective on what we do. After working together for a while, it became clear that we were projecting our own mythological potentials into the context of our society, which is directly related to Campbell's discourse on the Vitality of Myth.
SL: Can you each name a quote/song lyric that you feel relates to the content/conceptual framework of your works?
TW: I like the Sword's approach to song writing. They base many of their songs on the work of George RR Martin's series A Song of Fire and Ice. The lyrical content refers to specific imagery and characters in the books, but you do not have to be aware of these references to enjoy the song. I hope we can do something similar in our work, referencing specific bands and songs that where important in the making of the painting. Some viewers who are familiar with the metal genre may pick up on this, but the image does not require that familiarity to feel complete.
All of our large-scale pieces have titles pulled directly from albums, songs, or lyrics. The lyric that always enraptures me and pulls at my heart is from Falling Unknown by Neurosis:
You dream of a mountain
Who's peaks rise to the sky
Will you answer its call?
That line seems to ask a lot of the listener. Within the context of the song it is a challenge to, first, dream and then pursue that vision, even if it seems insurmountable. I want our work to be both an answer to that calling of the purposeful vision, and away to inspire the same question in the viewer.
ZS: There is an instrumental part in an ISIS song where I think I hear lyrics when there are none. Every-time I hear the song I hear the words, "mountains of ash". And I have to say, this single line of imagery arises in my head often in day to day life. Mountains of ash. I guess I have to use it now.
SL: What other projects are you currently working on?
DSL: We just had our first Solo show at the Center of Contemporary Art Santa Fe, NM,(www.ccssantafe.org) we are doing some designs for Huskwest.com, we have an upcoming show in Denver at Rhinoceropolis (http://www.myspace.com/rhinoceropolis) with Meghan Tomeo (www.meghantomeo.com), Suzzanne Coady (www.girlyhandwriting.com), and Brian Willmont (www.brianwillmont.com/), that is on the first Friday in March. We want to keep working, find next shows, collaborate with others, and have more fun.
TW: I am doing some illustrations for bands, albums and tee shirts. I am playing drums in a new band called Taj based in Boston. I spend as much time as possible working in my studio on my solo work, which can be seen at flickr.com/toddwhite.
ZS: Well I am currently working on design for a few bands also. I play in a fierce band called Bloodweaver,(http://www.myspace.com/bloodweaverband) and me and Meghan Tomeo, are opening up a gallery in our house called PennBrick. It is two small garages located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. It will be a multi-media, traditional-media, experimental & digital-media venue with lots of energy and community. We are planning our first show, which will open in the spring titled, "Shitty Drawings & Boring Videos" which will be a large-scale group show with many awesome people in it. We'll have a website up shortly and will be open to submissions. I also attend the College of Santa Fe and make my own artwork, a lot of large scale sculpture weapons (that gods have once used), drawings and so on…). What takes up most of my time is being a tattoo apprentice at Four Star Tattoo, here in Santa Fe. (www.fourstartattoo.com)
SL: Does your artwork possess magical powers?
DSL: It seems with the amount of phenomena that is explained through scientific means would leave little room for magic. But when a piece of art really works, and is not just the sum of its tricks, that seems to be as close to real magic as one can get. Whether we can do that or not, is not for us to decide. We are mere apprentices in the wizard's workshop; we will do our work and hope for the best.

Wearing: The Casual Kimono
I've always been a lover of the Kimono and for the longest time i'd been looking for one that could be worn every day. You know, a kimono to suit my lifestyle - cotton and casual. There's an abundance of lovely silky numbers out there but for the life of me I couldn't find one that would work equally well with printed tee's and floaty frocks.
When I started Bohemian Traders, I knew a Kimono would be part of our collection and I was thrilled to be able to have the Falling Flowers Kimono created. It's 100% hand block printed cotton voile and Fair Trade. It's a dream to wear over swimmers at the beach to with sweet cotton dresses and cut off shorts.

Hi! love this, got a couple of questions about fair trade etc - could I email you? cheers! GReplyDeleteReplies
of course you can! Email in link above xxDelete
I love the pom pom fringe detail!ReplyDelete
And I definitely only see one chin!
Although this reminds me of when I lived in Italy and kept a journal one page of which was a list of things I had lost…included were my chin, my knees, my elbows and all other bony prominences. All that wine and pasta…totally worth it!
Every time I see someone wearing a kimono I think, I really want one of those! And this one is no exception...really like it!!ReplyDelete
OMG, where are you that you can wear this outfit and look warm and not freezing? I'm so jealous! This outfit has a bohemian feel - love it! New follower to your blog :)ReplyDelete

You look beautiful! I can't believe you've started a business with three littles. Well done you! Also, I wish I could wear a kimono - but they don't suit me :( ... I have my eye on some of your dresses though! I can't wait to see the Autumn range!ReplyDelete

How can I learn to rule myself,
To be the child I should,
Honest and brave, nor ever tire
Of trying to be good?
How can I keep a sunny soul
To shine along life's way?
How can I tune my little heart
To sweetly sing all day?
(Louisa May Alcott, qtd. in Saxton 145)
Little Women (1868) teaches
us not only what blancmange is good for, and what to do when
pickled limes are all the rage, but also, and most importantly,
what it means to be a little woman in a society that prizes certain
very rigidly defined sorts of behavior. As Sarah Elbert notes,
the novel's title, "taken from a commonplace nineteenth-century
term," disturbs many modern readers of the novel: "this
sentimental diminutive is puzzling in a feminist who was concerned
with augmenting, rather than diminishing, a woman's status"
(151). Elbert asserts that Alcott chose the title after reading
Charles Dickens's Bleak House, (1853) wherein a "little
woman" is the powerful narrator who grows from girlhood
to womanhood through a series of traumatic but inspiring incidents
(152). In the introduction to the 1983 paperback version of Little
Women, Ann Douglas writes that "in 1842, Charles Dickens
labeled Americans quarrelsome egalitarians, politicians, orators;
self important, totally externalized personalities. The March
girls complicate without altogether contradicting Dickens' observations"
Even though the final effect
that her "arrangement" has on Laurie seems unintentional,
a practiced eye like Amy's must have been aware that the red
curtain was dramatic. Amy is unconsciously drawn to color (she
wears blue and white most frequently) because she knows that
color shows her own assets off to artistic advantage. She knows,
though, that it is better to "take the stage" (351)
as though unaware that she were on stage. Amy's power lies in
her ability to recognize and work with society's expectations
of her.
Notes (numbering begins in intro)
13.This impression is carried through admirably by Katharine Hepburn in her portrayal of Jo in the 1933 film version of Little Women. Every action is overblown, and Hepburn's is the dramatization most approved of by fans of the novel.

* BSE index gains 1.86 pct; NSE ends 1.92 pct higher * Reliance Industries gains on reserve hopes * Apollo Tyres fails to stem stock slide on Cooper deal By Abhishek Vishnoi MUMBAI, June 14 (Reuters) - Indian shares snapped a three-session losing streak to gain nearly 2 percent on Friday, after Reliance Industries surged on hopes one of its blocks held higher gas reserves while lenders rallied after easing wholesale inflation raised hopes of a rate cut. Shares also tracked a rally in Asian markets following a bruising selloff in global markets, which had sent the Indian rupee to record lows and helped push the benchmark BSE index down 1.3 percent for the week. Investors are now looking ahead at the Reserve Bank of India's policy review on Monday as the next key trigger, along with movements in global markets. Although most analysts expect the central bank to keep rates on hold, an outside chance was seen after India's headline inflation slowed for a fourth straight month in May to 4.7 percent from a year earlier. "The RBI meeting on Monday will be an important trigger for the market. Expectations are mixed on whether the RBI will cut rates or not," said Dipen Shah, head of Private Client Group Research, Kotak Securities. Markets are pricing in some roll-back of stimulus by the U.S. Federal Reserve as well, but if it maintains status-quo, there can be further respite to the markets, added Shah. The benchmark BSE index rose 1.86 percent, or 350.77 points, to end at 19,177.93, marking its biggest single-day gain since May 15, although it was not enough to prevent the index from posting its second consecutive weekly fall. The broader NSE index rose 1.92 percent, or 109.30 points, to end at 5,808.40, closing above the psychologically important 5,800 level but 1.2 percent lower for the week. Reliance Industries Ltd gained 3.2 percent after its KG-D6 block partner Niko Resources Ltd said its proved reserves increased by 160 percent, and that a recent gas discovery in the D6 block off India's east coast could add significantly to future reserves. Lenders rallied after easing wholesale inflation raised rate cut hopes. The NSE banking index fell 2.5 percent for the week, a fourth consecutive weekly drop. ICICI Bank Ltd gained 3.1 percent and Axis Bank Ltd rose 2.2 percent. Tata Motors Ltd gained 4.9 percent ahead of unit Jaguar Land Rover Ltd's global wholesale numbers expected later in the day. Tata Coffee Ltd climbed 6.3 percent on value buying after falling 25 percent in previous two sessions. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd shares rose 4 percent on value buying after falling about 8 percent in the last five sessions. Traders also say the yen looks overbought versus the dollar in the short term and therefore may weaken, generating a tactical buy call on Maruti. However, among stocks that fell, Apollo Tyres Ltd fell 5.5 percent, losing about a third of its market value over two days as investors fretted over the debt it will take on to fund its $2.5-billion acquisition of U.S.-based Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.

Attention, grassroots conservatives: The stakes are high in Virginia's governor race
posted at 12:05 pm on August 13, 2013 by Guy Benson
There has been no shortage of McAuliffe/Cuccinelli coverage around these parts, and for good reason. It's the most important 2013 race in the country. Conservatives may have mixed feelings about the incumbent in this fall's other gubernatorial contest (as filthy RINO, I'm generally a fan), but there are no "pale pastels" in Virginia. The state's Attorney General and GOP nominee for governor, Ken Cuccinelli, is a rock-ribbed conservative. Set aside for a moment that his opponent is almost surreally flawed as a candidate. There's much at stake in this race that has nothing to do with Terry McAuliffe, or even the governance of a single state. It's a critical test for those who subscribe to the "conservatives are a sleeping giant" theory of politics, wherein Republicans' electoral struggles can be traced back to their unwillingness to embrace an unapologetic and aggressive brand of conservatism. On that score, and regarding this race, National Review's Jim Geraghty sent a shot across conservatives' bow in a piece that spun through as a headlines item yesterday:
Does anyone want to argue that Ken Cuccinelli – Virginia's attorney general, and current GOP candidate for governor – is not a conservative?
- Led the legal challenge to Obamacare.
- Defended Arizona's immigration enforcement statute.
- Filed legal challenges to the EPA's findings on greenhouse gases being a threat to human health and thus an emission they have the authority to regulate.
- Supports right to life from conception until death, supported and pushed several pro-life bills while in the state legislature.
- Endorsed by the NRA.
We can examine his record further, but that gives you the gist. So if you're one of those folks who believes that Mitt Romney was a RINO squish, and that Republicans always lose when they nominate RINO squishes, then you really, really, really need Ken Cuccinelli to win this year. If Ken Cuccinelli – Mr. Conservative Record – loses against a flawed competitor like Terry McAuliffe, in a purple state like Virginia… and simultaneously, Governor Hug-Obama-After-a-Hurricane-and-Move-Left wins in a landslide up in New Jersey… the message to the rest of the Republican Party will be pretty clear. What you fervently believe – conservatives win, moderate squishes lose – will be refuted in the eyes of many Republicans. Proud conservatives like to believe that their like-minded grassroots voters are, collectively, like a sleeping giant; they merely need to be awakened by the right candidate to transform into an unparalleled, unstoppable electoral force. If the conservative grassroots are indeed a sleeping giant, so far they're hitting the "snooze" button on this race.
The piece goes on to describe the fundraising canyon that separates Cuccinelli from his opponent. In a close race, resources could end up being determinative; if it comes down to money, Democrats have a wide advantage. And if all of that isn't enough, Geragthy serves up another trenchant reminder:
What, national conservatives, the stakes aren't high enough? You don't feel sufficiently invested in the success of Cuccinelli in November? Okay, then think of the Terry McAuliffe 2013 campaign as a dress rehearsal for the Hillary Clinton 2016 effort. Because that's how the McAuliffe team sees themselves: "She hasn't said anything about 2016, but Terry McAuliffe's 2013 gubernatorial campaign is serving as a testing ground for Clinton's clout, operatives and donors… The success or failure of McAuliffe's campaign is a chance to measure Clinton's strength and organization in a critical state that now rivals Ohio as the pivotal swing state for winning a presidential election. In fact,McAuliffe and some of his top allies have suggested to big donors and consultants that supporting his campaign is a way to get in on the ground floor of Hillary 2016, several donors and operatives told POLITICO."
Geraghty's exhortations echo a point I made back in March: As cathartic as it may feel for some conservatives to grouse about "the establishment" and bash Chris Christie as a treacherous Democrat-in-waiting or whatever, those frustrations could be channeled far more productively by mobilizing on behalf of a full-spectrum ally who's locked in a tight swing-state battle. And, oh by the way, the Democrat in the race is relying on an operation that is explicitly acting as a stalking horse for Hillary 2016. I'll leave you with Team Cuccinelli's latest TV spot:
UPDATE – Ouch:

So what's the big deal? It's not like I'm saying you're a bad citizen if you can't use these words instead of their letters. But, I am saying you can be a better one if you do. Part of being a Citizen is being considerate of those around you and being able to communicate as effectively as possible. Learning to use the NATO alphabet in place of letters is one way to speed up your own day, and make the life of the poor guy answering your phone calls in India just a little bit easier.
