As of Aug. 16, Port Everglades has replaced Miami on the TA1/NEUATL1.
Maritime News
At least three carriers have pre-filed general rate increases.
The move would heighten competition in a key US domestic market.
After getting off to such a strong start that rates soared and space on ships ran out, exports from Europe to Asia fell steadily in the second quarter.
Spot rates on Asia-Europe fell slightly this week as carriers and shippers regroup in the second half of a relatively solid peak season.
Port of Los Angeles and GE Transportation will expand their pilot program across the entire port to establish a single electronic platform through which port users can share shipment information in a secure environment.
Log-In Logistica is reeling following the loss of 47 containers into the sea and a decline in volumes in the second quarter.
Container throughput at the world's major ports was up sharply in the first half, driven by rising volume being reported by carriers.
The increase in earnings was driven mainly by higher freight traffic on North Sea and Baltic Sea routes.
The idle container ship fleet has crept slightly higher.

Nations Lending Corporation Focusing on HARP Loans to Lower Mortgage Payments for Underwater Homeowners Due to FHFA Changes to HARP 2.0 Mortgage Refinance Loan Program(March 24, 2012)
Independence, OH (PRWEB) March 24, 2012
The Cleveland, Ohio based retail and residential mortgage banking company is ideally suited to provide HARP 2.0 (II) loans. The HARP loan provider is enthusiastically responding to the Federal Housing Finance Agency announcement related to enhancements to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) in order to help responsible borrowers. Nations Lending Corporation provides outstanding development and training programs to it's mortgage bankers at it's corporate campus in Independence, Ohio. As a result of Nations Lending Corporations commitment and focus on providing the best Home Affordable Refinance DU Refi Plus options to borrowers, they are now considered one of the fastest growing Home Affordable Refinance lenders in the United States.
Nations Lending Corporation is now accepting phone calls at 866-447-0266 from homeowners who want help in order to lower their monthly mortgage payments, reduce their term or to transition from an ARM (adjustable-rate mortgage) to a fixed-rate mortgage. The mortgage bankers that answer questions over the phone at NLC, regarding the Obama Administrations Making Home Affordable Program and HARP II, focus on helping underwater property owners to refinance (Refi) their mortgage loan. Nations Lending Corporation is dedicating a larger percentage of their mortgage lending officers to specialize in funding shorter term mortgages in order to reduce borrower's fees and restore their equity at a faster pace. Nations Lending Corporation is receiving positive business reviews and ratings from its customers and mortgagors because they are efficiently refinancing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages. Business practices that have recently been implemented at the company have greatly simplified the loan refinancing process for primary residences, second homes and investment properties.
Mortgage bankers at Nations Lending Corporation, understand the value of home appraisal waivers to HARP loan applicants. The mortgage lenders at NLC use reliable automated valuation models and are knowledgeable with the rules and guidelines related to Property Inspection Waivers (PIWs). Nations Lending Corp. assists HARP borrowers by saving them the expense of a home appraisal and by increasing the likelihood that they will qualify for a HARP loan.
The financial institution is now providing HARP loans to homeowners who experienced refinancing difficulties in the past. NLC is approving mortgage loans for borrowers who are current with their monthly payments. The mortgage lender is now able, due in large part, to the HARP II enhancements, to approve mortgage refinancing so that homeowners can lower their interest rate and overall monthly payment. A significant feature of HARP 2.0 is the elimination of the loan-to-value cap for fixed-rate loans. There is no longer a maximum LTV (loan-to-value) for fixed-rate loans, which are the primary types of HARP loans that Nations Lending Corporation is providing its customers.
Nations Lending Corporation is dedicating enormous resources to promoting the federal government's revamped mortgage-refinancing program to help underwater homeowners who have limited equity or negative equity. Borrowers who consider themselves to be "upside down" are being encouraged by Nations Lending Corporation to lower their monthly principal, interest rate, interest payment and their amortization period.
Nations Lending Corporation is providing funding to borrowers so that they can refinance their mortgage regardless of how much the value of their home has fallen. In many cases, the loan officers at Nations Lending Corp. are able to eliminate underwriting and appraisals in order to streamline the loan closing process. Homeowners that are considering applying for a HARP loan through Nations Lending Corporation should be aware that the deadline to get a HARP refinance is December, 31, 2013.
President Barack Obama's overhaul to the HARP 2.0 Mortgage Refinance Loan Program is providing many homeowners, who meet certain requirements, the opportunity to refinance at lower mortgage rates through Nations Lending Corporation. Nations Lending Corporation customers who receive HARP loans frequently save hundreds of dollars every month. Homeowners who are saying to themselves "how do I lower my mortgage rate" or "how do I lower my mortgage payment" can now get mortgage relief as a result of the Obama Administration's initiatives, Making Home Affordable (MHA) and Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).
Homeowners that were previously struggling with their mortgage loan payments are now in a stronger financial position because they have received interest rate reductions and mortgage loan refinancing from Nations Lending Corporation. Homeowners and property owners who want to lower their mortgage payment and lower their mortgage rate with a HARP loan should call 866-447-0266 or visit http://www.nlcmortgageloans.com/harploans.

ST. LOUIS – A Fenton, Mo. woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $300,000 from a church bank account.
According to court documents, 52-year-old Elaine Lewis committed the crimes between 2009 and August 2013 while she worked as a bookkeeper at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in St. Louis County.
Most of the money was transferred from the church's checking account with Bank of America into a Commerce Bank account associated with her family's business, Advanced Lock & Key, Inc.
Lewis will be sentenced March 7, 2014. She faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000.
Here's the churches statement:
"It was with shock and sadness that we learned August 8, 2013 of the discrepancies in our congregational finances. Those discrepancies were immediately and thoroughly investigated and all information was provided to the appropriate authorities. An investigation by the authorities ensued. Today, we learned that Elaine Lewis pleaded guilty of this activity. At this time, we have no further information regarding the outcome of the plea. Please know that we are committed to sharing information with you as we are able, but also please understand the issues of privacy may come into play.
"As we have emphasized before, we have implemented all necessary measures to ensure the security of our finances and the continued daily operations of our church. At this time, we ask that you continue to keep our ministry and all those involved in this situation, including Elaine Lewis and her family, in your prayers..."

Should you ever accept a tenant with a criminal record?
Some landlords use tenant screenings to ensure they do not place people with criminal records in their properties. The logic behind this is that people with criminal histories are more likely to cause problems at the property and that they are too irresponsible to pay rent on time.
In reality, the situation is not that simple. There are several factors that you should consider before accepting or rejecting a tenant based on that person's criminal background.
What Crime Was Committed?
Not all crimes are equal, so it's important to know what laws a potential tenant broke. If it was a violent crime, then you probably have good reason to deny that person's application. You certainly do not want a violent person living in your property, especially if the property is in an apartment complex where he or she will come into contact with other tenants.
Dealing drugs is another activity that merits serious consideration. If you believe the person still sells or uses illegal drugs, then it's probably best to deny the application. You do not want to attract illegal activities like that to the properties you own.
Other crimes are less serious. In fact, people can go to jail for crimes that seem ridiculously small. CNN reports that people have been sent to jail for fishing out of season, skipping school, and failing to pay traffic tickets. While these actions are criminal in some places, few people would place them on the same level as dealing drugs and committing violent acts. In these cases, you probably don't have any significant reason not to accept a tenant with a criminal record that shows on their tenant screening.
How Much Time Has Passed?
The amount of time that has passed since a person was arrested, convicted, and released should also influence your decision. According to research from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about 77% of recidivism occurs within five years of a prisoner's release.
If it has been longer than five years since the person's release, then there is little reason to think that he or she is still involved in criminal activity.
Again, you will want to consider the type of crime the person committed. You may feel comfortable accepting a tenant who was released on drug dealing charges five years ago, but you may not feel comfortable accepting someone who was found guilty of murder.
Make Sure You Do Not Violate Someone's Civil Rights
While it is fine for landlords to deny applicants because they have criminal records, you cannot deny them simply because they have arrest records.
There is a significant difference between an arrest and a conviction. A person who has been arrested has not been convicted of any crime until he or she has gone through the court process and has been found guilty.
Denying someone just because of an arrest record is usually a bad business decision. It could also put you at risk of getting sued for violating civil rights and fair housing laws. If that person were to contact the Civil Rights Office, you could face steep fines.
Keep in mind that it is also a violation of civil rights to exclusively run background checks on certain types of people. If, for instance, you only check the backgrounds of African-American applicants, a court may hold you accountable for discrimination.
Accepting or denying an applicant with a criminal history is a judgment call that most landlords will have to make at one time or another. As long as you approach the situation from a fair perspective, you can make a decision that will benefit your business without taking on more risks.

Question: As part of an investigation into illegal narcotics activity police
As part of an investigation into illegal narcotics activity, police officers went to the home of Cindy Lou Cates and interviewed her about her involvement in buying and selling narcotics. Cates had realized that the officers wanted to interview her and therefore asked a friend to arrange the meeting, stating her desire to cooperate with the investigation. The officers drove an unmarked car, were not in uniform, and did not draw their weapons at any time during the interview. The interview took place on the porch of her house, and Cates was free to leave when she so desired. The officers stressed to Cates that whether or not she submitted to the interview was a choice that had to be of her own free will. Cates never indicated a desire not to talk. At different times, she got up from her chair and entered the house, unescorted. The interview lasted several hours. During the interview, Cates recounted her activities buying and selling narcotics, including that she purchased narcotics from a number of individuals and resold to others. Two months after the interview, Cates was indicted by a grand jury. During her trial, her attorney moved to dismiss any statements she had made to the officers during her interview with them and later in the trial asked the court to declare a mistrial. The attorney argued that these statements were made during custodial interrogation and without the benefit of Miranda warnings. The attorney claimed that Miranda warnings must be given whenever law enforcement officers interrogate a suspect who has been arrested or whenever under any other circumstances the suspect is deprived of his or her freedom of action in any significant way. The judge in the lower court ruled that no mistrial was warranted in this case, and Cates was convicted. She appealed her case. Should the appeals court uphold Cates's conviction?

Bresnan Communications plans to deploy the DOCSIS 3.0 C4 CMTS from Arris to provide high-speed data, hosted VoIP and commercial services in four of its northwestern U.S. markets.
"We are deploying a next-generation CMTS platform that is capable of supporting DOCSIS 3.0 to deliver the best possible quality of experience to our customers," said Pragash Pillai, Bresnan's vice president of engineering and technology.
"The Arris C4 CMTS platform provides us with the density, availability and service throughput speeds required to meet customer demand. Additionally, with its integrated architectural approach and ability to scale, it offers a reliable and compelling cost per set of features."
Bresnan has been doing business with Arris for at least a few years. The MSO bought EMTAs from Arris way back in 2005, but this is apparently its first purchase of headend equipment from the vendor.
"We are delighted to add Bresnan as a new customer to our C4 CMTS platform," said Arris senior vice president of sales Dan Whalen. "For customers wishing to offer very high-speed data service and reliable voice, as well as offering local businesses a cost-effective communications platform, the C4 has proven itself a highly capable and multi-faceted performer."
The four markets being served by Arris equipment are Kalispell and Helena, Mont., and Gillette and Casper, Wyo.

It's hard to imagine that there was ever a time in Teressa's life when she wasn't her happy, warm, and giving self. A resident of the Center since 2011, Teressa is known for her smiles, her community spirit, and her willingness to lend a hand whenever it is needed.
She's a regular at the Day Center providing support to staff and other women as a Peer Leader, and she's known for her commitment to the DWC Resident's Club helping to organize events, parties, and other fun festivities for the residents living at the DWC San Pedro Street residence.
Teressa remembers a time in her life when her spirits flagged and she succumbed to an addiction that left much pain and sorrow in its wake.
As a young woman, she traveled the world to places like France and Ireland as a model for Ebony. It was during this time that she was first introduced to drugs. During her modeling career, Teressa was what she refers to as a "functioning addict"; her drug usage didn't interfere with her work or personal life.
After she finished her modeling career and got married, the "functional" part of her addiction was over. "The drug took over me," she recounts. After being married for 15 years, she could no longer bear the pain her addiction was causing her husband, and they separated.
That was the first time Teressa came to Skid Row.
She first heard of the Downtown Women's Center when she was living in transitional housing. Eager to get her foot in the door, Teressa lined up to get a housing application from DWC the night before, and slept on the doorstep of the Center to be first in line the next morning. Within one day, she was back with a completed application form.
Teressa got an apartment at DWC, and her life changed.
Being involved within the DWC community brought back her spirit and put her on the path to recovery. Her compassion to other comes naturally, because she found compassion for herself.
"I was so angry, but not angry with other people. No, not that. I was angry at myself."
Teressa has not forgotten the other women who still are homeless. That's why you can often find her in the Day Center providing help in the kitchen and with her friends. "Homelessness is cold. People are lost, they are so tired… Homelessness is about being unloved, facing abandonment, suffering from mental anguish, pain, and disillusionment with yourself… It is an empty feeling to have."
Day by day, conversation by conversation, Teressa is making sure no woman at DWC feels alone again.
To support a woman through permanent supportive housing, please consider making a monetary donation or make an in-kind donation of needed household items.

It is very good thinking by Teresa that she has recognized that love and acre only can heal the human's heart. I also read a recent article in http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/29/1676483/how-a-well-written-research-paper-differentiate-in-a-grade-and-failure blog which was written by her saying that she loves helping others ad serving others. That is really great from her.
Terrill Thomas commented 2015-06-25 16:01:37 -0700What a heart wrenching story.
Regis Porter commented 2015-06-25 12:11:02 -0700Thank you for taking care of these women who feel lost and helping them to feel found again.

The morning of the finals was very big for Kyoushiro and Weed. They both walked out to the arena as the crowds and their friends cheered. Krokhotep called out the finalists for them. The two tag-teaming brothers walked out to confront them both. Two large Great Danes both spotted and dwarfing the Kishu-Akita team. One had bent ears and the other's were cut off, but that was probably the only difference from the two.
"You ready Weed?" Kyoushiro asked. Weed nodded and stared right at the opponents. Kyoushiro found himself looking the cut on Weed's face. Does Weed know about it yet?
"WEED and KYOUSHIRO! Vs HOUGEN AND GENBA! FIGHT!!" Krokhotep got out of the way before the fight began. Like with Thunder and Lector, each dog was with a one-one hit. Weed was fighting Hougen as Kyoushiro was fighting Genba. Both sides were getting more than they bargained for. The thing with Hougen and Genba was that they kept switching opponents. When Genba was at a stand off with Kyoushiro, Hougen jumped in and hit him hard. When Weed was about to bite Hougen's head, Genba grabbed him and slammed him to the floor. At one point in the fight, both sides were at a stand off.
"You okay, Kyoushiro?" Weed asked.
"Yeah. Just tired is all. God, those two are demonic fighters."
"GOT THAT RIGHT!" Hougen yelled.
"Should that technique work, Kyoushiro?" Weed asked.
"No. I don't want to copy from Thunder and Lector's fight...I have an idea." Kyoushiro then oddly started digging like madman behind him, his back to his opponents. Hougen raced for him, but, suddenly, he was being pelted by rocks and what not, immobilizing him. Weed saw what he was doing and knew what to do next. He quickly became part of the chucked rocks and rammed Hougen a good 20 feet, almost outta the ring! Genba got scared seeing his older brother nearly got knocked out. He quickly looked back to see the two bite into his shoulders, knocking him back. The two Danes got up as Kyoushiro and Weed took a breather.
"What fighters! Had they been training since birth?" Hougen thought. He had never seen such strength from an animal their size, especially in his own species.
"Just lose already will ya?! I don't know about you but I'm on a tight schedule!" Kyoushiro shouted.
"What? Schedule?" Hougen growled.
"Simple. Get prize. Get home! NOW SHUT YOUR TRAP AND DEAL WITH IT!"
"Kyoushiro! That's not needed!" Weed snapped. But then Kyoushiro, loosing his mind for a second, blurted out "SHUT YOUR TRAP! I HAD ENOUGH WITH THIS UNIVERSE, I JUST WANNA GO HOME!" A shocked look appeared on Krokhotep's face.
"...What did you say?" Genba asked.
"Doesn't matter! WE ARE WINNING! WE ARE GETTING OUR ALLIES BACK! AND WE ARE GONNA GO HOME! AND IM NOT LETTING YOU STOP ME!" Kyoushiro then charged at them and with one kick of his back legs, knocked both the Danes outta the ring...Kyoushiro was panting from his "episode" as Krokhotep announced the winners, thanks to the scarred Kishu. The applause soon became confusion when they notice Kyoushiro wasn't reacting. Weed rammed into him shortly afterwards, Kyoushiro regaining his senses.
"Let's go. Kyoushiro," Weed smiled. The Kishu sighed and they both went back to the stands where their friends were waiting.

Some Thoughts on Writing.
By Norman Mailer.
330 pp. New York:
Random House. $24.95.
''What does a novel do?'' E. M. Forster asked in ''Aspects of the Novel,'' and he imagined himself, ''in a sort of drooping, regretful voice,'' replying: ''Yes -- oh dear yes -- the novel tells a story.'' In ''The Spooky Art,'' Norman Mailer collects some of the statements he has made on the art of fiction over the years, but ''the novel tells a story'' is not among them. He is more likely to say something like ''being a writer can save one from insanity or cancer'' or ''when your prime character is a man . . . the real question is, How tough is he?'' or, with that familiar topspin of self-mockery, ''it's not a good idea to try to put your wife into your novel. Not your latest wife, anyway.'' Mailer is less concerned with flat and round characters than with apprehending the ''natural mystique'' in the novel. Invited to enlarge, he might offer the following: ''Sometimes I think the novelist fashions a totem just as much as an aesthetic, and that his real aim, not even known necessarily to himself, is to create a diversion in the fields of dread.'' Then again, he is just as apt to say, in the course of a discussion of first-person narration, ''I had not quit in combat, and once when a gang broke up a party in my loft, I had taken two cracks on the head with a hammer and had still been able to fight.''
These statements are drawn from ''Advertisements for Myself'' (1959), an interview published in The Paris Review in 1963 and the preface to ''Why Are We in Vietnam?'' (1967), among other sources, yet they are stitched together in ''The Spooky Art'' in chapters headed ''Style,'' ''Genre,'' ''Journalistic Research,'' ''Moral Vision'' and so on, as if representing Mailer's latest ''thoughts on writing.'' Snatches of interviews -- many of them collected 21 years ago in ''Pieces and Pontifications'' -- are blended with extracts from classic Mailer texts like his bravura report on the first Sonny Liston-Floyd Patterson heavyweight bout, ''Ten Thousand Words a Minute.'' Publication was timed to coincide with Mailer's 80th birthday last month, and the book is presented as his offering to ''young novelists who wish to improve their skills and their commitment to the subtle difficulties and uncharted mysteries of serious novel writing.''
''The Spooky Art'' contains a number of sensible observations, including one that seems especially pertinent in the era of the creative writing course: ''What ruins most writers of talent is that they don't get enough experience, so their novels tend to develop a certain paranoid perfection.'' In a similar vein, Mailer declares himself wary of too heavy a reliance on ''craft,'' which, he says, has prevented certain good novels from becoming great (''All the King's Men'' by Robert Penn Warren being one example). This is not a book of dos and don'ts, but the professional tips, when they come, are well primed: ''If you tell yourself you are going to be at your desk tomorrow, you are by that declaration asking your unconscious to prepare the material.''
If only there were more of this. A great deal of ''The Spooky Art'' has nothing whatever to do with novel writing, serious or otherwise. Mailer has always taken up positions from which he might view literary endeavor as anything other than that. Sports gives him his favorite bag of metaphors. Writers are ''like race car drivers,'' the writer's unconscious is ''like a prize horse,'' to be groomed as if it were ''a finer animal than you.'' Since the day he first set pen to paper, Mailer has viewed his contemporaries ''the way an athlete looks at rival athletes,'' but the competition is just as often with himself. Literary style is ''very much like the pace a serious jogger sets for himself. You have to be able to maintain it. In that sense, style is an offshoot of character.'' On a good day, the novelist is ''brave,'' and he comes away from his novel -- ''the Great Bitch'' -- ''like a G.I tumbling out of a whorehouse spree -- 'Man, I made her moan.' '' The prowess of the bullfighter, the football player and, of course, the boxer are also recommended for study. ''Do you have the inner sanction to create a man who's braver and tougher than yourself?'' Mailer asks, much as another tutor might say, ''Is this the best choice of word?'' or ''Are you making yourself clear to the reader?''
Mailer's clarity is sometimes blurred by his sporting analogies. Emphasizing the importance to the writer of keeping mentally fit, he introduces a discussion of the boxer Harry Greb: ''If he was drinking, you see, the point was to keep in shape while drinking.'' Fearing the reader might not see what this has to do with style or with character, he continues: ''I'm being a touch imprecise. . . . As he drank he would notice the way his body moved. One of the best reasons one drinks is to become aware of the way your mind and body move.'' All of this would have flowed most entertainingly when Mailer first spoke the words (in this case, to The Paris Review, 39 years ago), but in a volume intended ''to appeal to serious writers and people who wish to write,'' the value is obscure.
The most common ''occupational hazard of a writer'' is ''a bad mood,'' and a common cause of the bad mood is a bad review. Mailer frequently rounds on ''the critics,'' who appear to form themselves into an organized opposition whenever he publishes a book. However, here, too, ''The Spooky Art'' is but a rough guide to his current thinking. In a speech delivered in 1984, and now reprinted, he spoke of ''the more or less constant pressure on the life of the professional novelist. For soon after you finish each hard-earned book, the reviews come in and the reviews are murderous.'' That sounds like a yelp of pain; yet it hardly fits with a sentiment from earlier in the book: ''I no longer gave a sick dog's drop for the wisdom, the reliability and the authority of the public's literary mind, those creeps and old ladies of vested reviewing.'' A rummage among the footnotes reveals that the defiant comment was written 25 years before, and published in ''Advertisements for Myself.'' No attempt is made to bridge the two.
Mailer is the author of quite a few ''murderous'' critical remarks of his own. ''Like many another foul art, rudeness has gifted practitioners,'' he says, and several presumed rivals would confirm it. In a self-conscious reprise of ''Quick and Expensive Comments on the Talent in the Room,'' from ''Advertisements for Myself,'' the final section of ''The Spooky Art'' consists of brief evaluations of writers, living and dead: Saul Bellow, William Burroughs, Truman Capote, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut and others. As with the earlier summation, a certain provincialism is implicit in these lists. The competitors were in contention only if playing on the same field -- or drinking in the White Horse Tavern. ''James Jones and I used to feel in the early 50's that we were the two best writers around. Unspoken was the feeling that there was room for only one of us.'' This is brash, but hardly brave; as an estimation of ''the two best writers around,'' it is rather quaint. Together with many similar comments, it creates the feeling that such amounts of envy and competitiveness as Mailer harbors are unhealthy, that they stand in opposition to his belief that boldness on the part of the literary warrior inhibits illness and helps to cultivate an immaculate psyche. Laziness -- not a habit to display to the young writer -- is in evidence, too. Mailer questions Toni Morrison's talent, even though ''I've only read one or two of her novels.'' A lengthier section on Samuel Beckett, from a recent interview, begins: ''I've never felt close to Beckett and haven't read his novels. Friends tell me the best of his literary substance is there.'' It may all be explained by the comment, ''Name any great novel that didn't weary you first time through.''Continue reading the main story
''The Spooky Art'' is Mailer's 32nd book. The powerful and original works -- ''The Naked and the Dead,'' ''Advertisements for Myself'' and the other miscellaneous collections, ''The Armies of the Night,'' ''The Executioner's Song'' -- outnumber the potboilers, like ''Tough Guys Don't Dance'' (the creation of which we owe to the Internal Revenue Service, apparently). He admits that he has difficulty with stories and finds journalism easier because the story is already there. But my guess is that readers don't go to Mailer's books for stories, factual or fictional, so much as for his alertness to ''every intimation about himself,'' which he has expressed with greater vivacity than any contemporary. Like many writers, he is too preoccupied with the work itself to act as a guide to the ins and outs of literary style, even his own. We probably shouldn't expect anything else: what does a pig know about its bacon, after all?Continue reading the main story

Sauce Espagnole - Spanish Sauce
Recipe by Mamas Kitchen Hope
Wonderful, flavorful sauce that is great over any kind of enchiladas, or even a plain chicken breast. So much flavor in such a simple quick recipe! *Note:* Stock is important and should be used rather than broth. If broth is used you will have a less flavorful, less full bodied sauce. There are many great recipes here on Zaar for stock and you can even find stock at your grocery now too! Any type will do, beef, chicken, even make it vegetarian! Hope you enjoy!
Top Review by loki-dog
This is a classic French sauce. And it's actually called Spanish sauce because of the color of the sauce (a little non-pc), which is supposed to be brown. It's not for enchiladas - that would be chile sauce (the kind made with red or green chiles and little else, not the ketchup or relish type), or other Mexican sauces. The original sauce did not have tomatoes in it, and was really a brown sauce, much like a brown gravy, though make with reduced stock, and not drippings. Modern versions do have tomatoes, or tomato paste added. Incidentally if you just add red chile powder (or dried chiles, toasted, soaked in water, blended, and strained) or chopped roasted and peeled green chiles to this sauce, it would make a great enchilada sauce, perhaps with some garlic, onions, and a touch of oregano.

As the NHL looks to get tough on discipline, the next true test won't come when a player throws another wayward elbow or injures an opponent with a hit from behind.
It will happen far away from the ice, in a boardroom at a posh hotel, when the board of governors gather again in June.
That's when commissioner Gary Bettman plans to hold a discussion with league owners about fining organizations that consistently have players running afoul of the law. He first raised the idea during last week's GM meetings but it barely registered among other initiatives aimed at concussions.
In light of the stiff suspension given to Penguins agitator Matt Cooke this week - and questions about whether the league will continue to crack down - it's worth revisiting.
Bettman didn't outline his exact plans, but he is believed to be in favour of a tiered system with increasing fines. For example, an organization might be docked $250,000 (U.S.) once its players have totalled 10 games in suspensions over a season and then face a stiffer financial penalty at 15 games, 20 games and so on.
The commissioner is also interested in looking at penalizing other members of an offending organization.
"If a player or players are subject to repeat disciplinary procedures that result in supplemental discipline, it will be the club, and perhaps the coach, that will be held responsible," Bettman said in Florida.
The reaction of owners to the idea will be telling. As much as league disciplinarian Colin Campbell has been criticized for being too lenient with suspensions, an often overlooked part of the process is the fact many owners haven't been keen on seeing their players forced to sit out long bans.
Change must come from the very top.
There seems to be a growing appetite for that as evidenced by recent comments from Pittsburgh co-owner Mario Lemieux, Montreal Canadiens owner Geoff Molson and Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk (Bettman, by the way, is likely to remind governors he disapproves of such statements being made publicly).
Lemieux appears eager to lead the charge. He proposed a supplementary discipline system that would see organizations fined with every suspension - unlike the Bettman model, where it only comes at certain thresholds - even though he would likely have thrown the most money in the pot if such a standard was in place this season.
"The current system punishes the offending player but does very little to deter such actions in the future," Lemieux wrote to Bettman in a letter dated March 7. "We need to review, upgrade and more clearly define our policies in this regard, so that they can provide a meaningful deterrence and effectively clean up the game."
While organizational fines come with some potential problems - it's reasonable to assume the back-channel pressure on Campbell might increase - they also have the potential to change behaviour.
How many coaches will continue putting players on the ice who are costing them money? Further, how many owners will want to keep those type of individuals on the payroll?
Perhaps most importantly, a call for increased supplementary discipline from the governors should carry serious weight. It will give Campbell the same mandate he received from GMs last week and almost certainly result in tougher penalties.
The league's dean of discipline has been extremely busy this season - Campbell has handed out 31 suspensions totalling 114 games so far - and the price for crossing the line might be on the rise again next year.
If that's what the owners really want.Report Typo/Error

Bicycle Boulevards
Keystone Bicycle Boulevard Project
North Kenneth - Winona Bicycle Boulevard Project
A Bicycle Boulevard is generally a low-traffic neighborhood street that has been optimized for bicycling. They provide direct attractive routes for cyclists, while also enhancing and improving the character of the neighborhood. This is accomplished by using a combination of Class III Bike Route and Share the Road signage, "sharrows", and a variety of different traffic calming treatments.
As all roadways and adjacent neighborhoods have different characteristics, each Bicycle Boulevard should individually address these differences. As a result, not all Bicycle Boulevard are the same, but rather "designed to fit". However, the theme remains consistent.
What all Bicycle Boulevards share is commonly referred to as the "Toolbox". This Toolbox consists of the various roadway treatments, or "tools", which can be used to best enhance the roadway and neighborhood for both cyclists and neighborhood residents. The Bicycle Boulevard Toolbox breaks down as follows:
AUTO SPEED REDUCTION – Research shows that by limiting auto speeds to 25mph or less, the risk of collision, injury, or death is greatly reduced. The ideal car speed on bicycle boulevards is 15-20mph. The purpose of the tools in this section is to slow cars down on neighborhood streets making them safer for everyone. Examples include:
- STOP SIGNS – Stops car traffic, oriented to favor cyclist traveling on bicycle boulevard
- MINI TRAFFIC CIRCLES – Reduces auto speed, only within 100 feet of circle
- TRAFFIC ISLANDS – Reduces auto speeds as vehicles turn from major arterials to bicycle boulevard
- MEDIAN ISLANDS – Reduces turning radii at intersections
AUTO TRAFFIC REDUCTION – The maximum average daily traffic (ADT) on a bicycle boulevard is 3,000 cars per day or less, preferably as low as 1,500 cars per day. When auto speed reduction is combined with auto traffic reduction or "diversion", safety on bicycle boulevards is maximized. Cars are still allowed on bicycle boulevards, but diversion treatments encourage them to drive on arterial streets instead of neighborhood streets when they need to get somewhere quickly. The tools in this section limit auto access to bicycle boulevards at critical points, while allowing bicycle traffic to get through. Examples include:
- SEMI-DIVERSION – Limits auto access while allowing bicycle access
- FULL-DIVERSION – Restricts auto access while allowing bicycle access
CROSSING BUSY STREETS – No bicycle boulevard is complete without closing the gaps. Large arterial streets, freeways and railroad tracks all create significant barriers for bicyclists, pedestrians, and neighborhoods. In order to have a working network of bicycle boulevards, it is imperative that cyclists are able to cross major intersections safely. Examples include:
- HIGH VISIBILITY "ZEBRA" CROSSWALKS – Increases visibility at crossings
- CURB EXTENSIONS – Increases bicycle/pedestrian visibility, shortens crossing distance
- MEDIANS – Limits auto access, provides mid-point crossing refuge for bicycles/pedestrians
- BICYCLE DETECTION – Cyclist can trigger traffic lights by placing tires over bike symbol. Signal will be actuated by camera or loop detectors.
- BIKE BOXES – Brings cyclists to front of the line at traffic lights, priority crossing/turning, reduces right-hook conflicts, as needed filling in the box with color paint can further increase visibility
BOULEVARD SIGNAGE AND MARKINGS – Along a Bicycle Boulevard signage and markings are enhanced beyond the standard Class III Bike Route signage. Smaller markings on the ground tell cyclists where to go while larger markings indicate to drivers that they are on a bike boulevard and should slow down. Signs tell cyclists where they are headed and how much further they have to go to reach their destination. The tools in this section offer a few examples of ways to show cyclists and community residents how to get from here to there.
- SHARROWS – "Share the Road" arrow. Indicates that cyclist can use the whole lane. Marking designed so if you ride down the center of the arrows, you will be outside the "door-zone"
- WAY FINDING SIGNAGE – Indicates distance to certain districts, gives direction and travel time
- SHARE THE ROAD SIGNAGE – Indicates to motor vehicle drivers that cyclists may be present

Soda Suicide
After reading the article Eating too much added sugar may be killing you and taking in these facts, I have realized that we eat these harmful food everyday but we don't usually take it into consideration. For me, I am now very concerned of my health and sugar intake because I drink different types of sodas or drinks at least 2 times everyday. Yang says "one can of regular soda contains about 140 calories of added sugar", which is even more than the recommended amount of sugar intake that is recommended for a women. Because of the different health problems that too much sugar can give me like heart attacks or diabetes, I have decided to watch what I eat and cut down on these beverages that is so harmful to my body and future.

Check the Muni's website for the specifics: http://www.muni.org/departments/parks/pages/tuesdaynightraces.aspx
It's just about fall which means the Muni's Tuesday Night Race series is back!!
For those unfamiliar, read about this series of 9 runs here:
Run locations around Anchorage vary from week to week and there are various levels. Lots of competitive runners, but also tons of "normal" folks. Definitely a great part of Anchorage fall culture that every runner should experience!
The first of the nine races is this Tuesday at Kincaid. I'm already registered for the entire bunch ($35 for the season, or $5 per race IF you pre-register, or $10/race on-site registration) and can be the "point person" if we want to powwow before each race and/or run more after and/or grab post-race food together. Otherwise, this is more of an informational post to keep everyone in the loop on a great local running event! I will go ahead and post a Meetup for each race individually.
The basics:
Races are Tuesday nights, Sept 10 to Nov 5.
Check-in on race day is 5:30-6:10pm -- important to be there on time.
Races at 6:30pm sharp!
Hope to see some of you there!

Bamboo transition pieces for the ends of your bamboo floors
Bamboo thresholds are often used to transition from a bamboo floor to a front door or sliding glass door. They can also be used to transition from a bamboo floor to a floor of a different height - either slightly higher (such as a different wood flooring) or slightly lower (like tile or carpet). Both functional and stylish, bamboo thresholds can also be used to add a sense of boundary to an open-concept room or as an accent for design purposes. We offer a variety of color and material options so you enjoy the perfect match. Best of all, our bamboo overlap thresholds are built to last and, with just a minimal amount of maintenance, will give you years of trouble-free use.
Wood and Material Options
Our overlap floor thresholds are available in classic and strand-woven bamboo. Classic bamboo is an economical choice that combines superior strength and durability with the unique look and feel of real bamboo. Strand-woven bamboo, our premium option, is specially formed to be three times as dense as oak, providing the ultimate in strength while mimicking the grain of traditional hardwoods. Both options are available in natural (blonde) and carbonized (tan) and many other colors. Upgrading to our strand-woven overlap bamboo thresholds gets you several additional color options, including tiger, chocolate, sangria, sienna, cinnamon, honey and cider among others. With flooring sample kits available free of charge - we'll even cover the shipping for the samples - choosing the right color is fun and easy!
There's no trick to installing our bamboo overlap thresholds. Simply use liquid nails or another non-water-based adhesive to hold the molding in place, weigh it down with a heavy object and allow the glue to set. There are no special materials or skills required!
Maintaining our bamboo floor moldings is simple - built to last and finished with our exclusive AccuSeal® System, our products require no special upkeep - simply buff out scuffs and stains with a damp rag. You can also use any approved hardwood floor cleaner or a natural cleaner such as white vinegar. Because certain cleansers may react differently, we recommend you test a new product on a hidden patch of floor or spare plank before proceeding. With Ambient Bamboo Floors, there's no trick to keeping your floor looking its best. Contact us today to for a free quote!

Reviews for Classic Carrot Cake
Average Rating
"I would give this recipe 10 STARS if I could. It was so Good! I added 1/2 cup raisins."
"I added raisins to the batter with the walnuts it was so delicious! I did however, have trouble getting it to set in the middle. Once it finally set in the middle the corners and bottom were a little over done. The icing is just wonderful! It is not overly sweet, in my opinion carrot cake isn't supposed to have a super sweet icing. This was just perfect!!"
"Only change was pecans for walnuts because I have pecans. This cake is so good I sent half of it to work with my nephew to keep us from pigging out. Moist, tender, good balance of sweet and spice. Definite keeper."
"I tried this recipe last night, and it fell apart. Again, I tried it today and made three cakes. They all fell apart as well. The taste is wonderful, but this recipe needs to be tweeked a little bit before you have it showing on google so close to the top."
"Made this today. SO delicious! Could eat the whole pan. Discovered I had less than a tsp of cinnamon. Substituted pumpkin pie spice. Otherwise followed the recipe"
"Made this cake for Easter. It is very good, moist and dense, and the frosting is just sweet enough and a little tangy. It only needed to bake 30 minutes in my oven. I used pecans vs. walnuts (we have a pecan tree) and changed the 2 tsp of cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon plus 1/2 tsp mace; otherwise, made per the recipe."
"Just made this and if I could give it more stars I would. This is delicious. I could have eaten the entire cake. Followed the recipe exactly and can't find a thing bad about it."
"Excellent recipe moist and not too sweet. Highly recommended"
"BEST CARROT cake RECIPE EVER!!!! EXCELLENT!!!! Made exactly the way recipe is written."
"Excellent recipe! I added some raisons and it came out great!"
"It was fantastic and delicious taste"
"This is my "go to" recipe for carrot cake. It is delicious. I add raisins but otherwise follow the recipe exactly. There is, however, absolutely NO WAY this bakes in 35-40 minutes. It is now in my oven in a ceramic pan and has been there for 60 minutes. I am giving it ten more minutes... And no, there is nothing wrong with my oven. It always takes at least an hour to bake!"
"Excellent excellent excellent!"
"Awesome carrot cake. This was my first time making this and everyone loved it! I actually made them cupcakes :)"
"The recipe was very good and I will make this again. The only small change was the amount of sugar in the cake. I used 3/4 cup of white and brown instead of the 1 cup of each. It worked out very well."
"I've tried other carrot cake recipes with varying degrees of success. But now I've found my KEEPER! This is good, moist and easy! The only thing I did differently is that I added about 1/4 cup of sweetened, shredded coconut to the wet mixture. And from some of the other reviews I gathered that the full recipe of icing was way too much so I only made a half recipe. It was just right."
"Very good! I liked the brown sugar, over white sugar in the this recipe."
"Excellent!!! Dense and moist and so easy! The frosting was great too! It barely lasted 3 days!"
"This cake is just like a recipe I got from a friend 30 years ago. My frosting is a little different, but very good. 1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, 1/4 c. butter, 2 tsp. vanilla, 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice and a 16 oz. box of powdered sugar. The frosting makes more than you need (but it freezes beautifully.) Delicious cake!!!"
"First ever homemade carrot cake & it was amazing!! Great recipe!!"
"Great recipe. very moist. I baked this in a fluted bundt cake pan and it took 55 minutes to cook it through. Will definitely save and make many more times."
"It was a great hit for a dish to pass at a family get together. A lot of comments on how moist it was"
"Very tastey and moist we all lved it"
"I made this recipe exactly as it called for but I baked two 9" round pans @ 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes instead of a 13"X 9"baking dish . It was the best. After icing it with one layer between the 2 cakes and all around the outside, I patted chopped walnuts all around the outside. Great presentation!"
"I am just an ok cook, this cake is the best, perfect every time,makes me look like a pro."
"Great recipe! The blood from your knuckles just adds flavor."
"cookersa: here is a recipe with coconut. 1 1/2C oil, 2c. sugar, 3 eggs, 2c. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp., vanilla, 1 tsp. salt, 1 c. coconut, 1c. chopped walnuts, 1 (8oz.) can crushed pineapple, 2c. grated carrots. Beat oil, sugar and eggs. Add and mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, vanilla and salt. Add coconut, nuts, undrained pineapple and carrots. bake in a 9x13 inch greased and floured pan at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes. Frosting: 8 oz. cream cheese, 2c. powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, 3/4 stick oleo, softened. Cream the cream cheese and oleo. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes."
"This sounds like a recipe I lost, except mine had coconut in it. If you find one like that please post. Thanks . Will definitely give this a try"
"5 stars ! Fantastic recipe. Lots of compliments, didn't change the recipe at all. I entered this in the 2013 county fair, got first place and a silver platter for best cake of the year. Awesome all the way. Thank you :)"
"I tried this recipe for Easter. It's a great place to start -- but not quite there yet. It was over-the-top too sweet for my taste (and I love sweet stuff). And the carrot flavor got lost in the shuffle. I will be tweaking this recipe and test driving it again in the future by decreasing the sugar to a total of 1 1/2 cups (3/4 c. white and 3/4 c. brown), and increasing the shredded carrots to 3 cups.As for the frosting, I was very skeptical of using only 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar -- but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and stuck with the original recipe. And I loved it. Using the smaller amount of powdered sugar let the cream cheese flavor shine through. Of course, you could never use it to pipe. (But that is true of all cream cheese frostings.)I did make this cake in two 9-inch cake pans as written and tested the cake after 30 minutes. It was spot on. I was afraid the cream cheese frosting would melt down the sides of the cake, but it held up fine with keeping it in the refrigerator. My husband can't stay out of it!"
"best carrot cake ever!!"
"The cake part was very good--rave reviews at our Church potluck. However, the frosting, IMHO is off a bit. I used the better part of 5 cups of confectioner's sugar and 3 tsp of vanilla to get it "right". I figure the reviewer who went with 1 pkg cream cheese and 2 cups sugar is probably close to perfect."
"This is now my go-to recipe for carrot cake. It is unbelievably good!"
"I definitely am going to try this recipe and then I'll post the results! It sounds delicious! Dawn E. Lowenstein"
"amazing recipe! everyone loves it! do you think you can make it as cupcakes?"
"This was excellent! Very moist and delicious. I will definitely make this again. Best recipe I've ever had for carrot cake."
"Sorry but can't agree with most reviewers here. Definitely have much better recipes for carrot cake. Think the dark brown sugar made it too dark and gave it a crumbly texture. Also by the time the cake was done the edges and some of the bottom were slightly burnt. Also too much icing for the cake pan size. Had planned to wow company but had to store buy another dessert in this case."
"I made this for my daughter's birthday party and everyone loved it!!I made a couple changes just to make it a bit healthier. I didn't drain the pineapple. i used only egg whites. 1/2 cup applesauce in place of all the oil. I split the flour 50/50 with whole wheat flour and all purpose flour and I used 1 fat free cream cheese and 1 reduced fat cream cheese. I was fantastic!"
"This recipe is amazing.....nothing but rave reviews from my family. I added raisins to the cake for a little more flavor!"
"I must admit I made an account on here just to rate this recipe. This is by far the best carrot cake I have ever tasted. The frosting and the cake are both delicious. The only thing I did differently was I did heaping tsps of the cinnamon. but other than that I just stuck directly to the recipe. I highly recommend making this cake. I made it in a bundt pan which took about 10 min longer to cook in my oven. There was a ton of frosting but that was just fine with me because I like my frosting to go on a bit thick. YUM!"
"I made this for a birthday celebration at my sister's work. I personally did not eat any, but she told me that everyone thought this was the best carrot cake they had ever had and even people who don't like carrot cake liked it. I left out the nuts and made it a 3 layer round cake instead. If you want to remove from the pans to frost, make sure you grease well AND FLOUR the pans. The icing tasted really good, but it was difficult to frost between the layers and the entire cake, but my sister said it tasted fine with the amount there was. Just made it tricky to look pretty. Oh, and I added carrot curls in the middle on top for presentation."
"This is outstanding. We don't eat nuts - just left them out and it was WONDERFUL!"
"This was a hit for our Easter dinner. I did substitute 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 the oil and it still was delicious."
"This cake is wonderful. My family loved it!"
"I am like a previous reviewer, weirich. I would like to know the nutrients.Ruth"
"I would like to know the nutrients for this receipt. I have changed some ingredients to make it more diabetic friendly, but am still worried about the total carbs."
"I love this recipe, very moist and delicious. I kept to the recipe as it was except for the frosting. For the frosting I used:-1 package cream cheese-1/2 cup of butter-3 tsp of vanilla extract-2 cups of confectioners sugarI changed the frosting because my wife doesn't like it too cream cheesy. If you do, then keep it just the same, it was delicious."
"I give this recipe 5 stars! The best Carrot cake I have ever made. The icing is the best as well."
"I Made this for my Mom for Mother's Day, She is picky about her Carrot cake, as her favorite was from a restraunt called Bakers Square, since the nearest one to us is out of business I had to find a recipe that might compare! This Was wonderful I added a Cup of Raisins to complete it, and some " Nut topping" on top and She and the Whole Family loved it! This is the First cake I have ever baked from scratch and it was soooo easy, and turned out nice and moist!!!! And the Recipe for the Cream Cheese Frosting was perfect!!!"
"Every carrot cake I've made from scratch came out tasting like a spice cake except for this recipe. This cake taste like the ones you order in a 4 star restaurant. I'm making 1/2 of the recipe this time and baking in a loaf pan. My husband and I are the only ones left at home and the 12 serving cake is just too much. I am adding pecans instead of walnuts and raisins to the recipe. Anyone wanting to try this recipe you will not be disappointed. HAPPY COOKING"
"this cake is fantastic...I add another 4 ounce of rasing...which it turns out very good & moist.I would suggest to reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup......love it very much!!!"
"This is the BEST Carrot cake recipe I have ever tried! Thanks for posting this."
"Do you have a light version of this recipie?"
"Has anyone cooked this cake in a bundt pan? If so,any special directions???"
"The cake itself was good, but the cream cheese icing was AWESOME!"

Chapter 1 - The First BattleDay 8 99AG
I've never been so nervous, our sergeant just came in and told us to ready up as were approaching Water Tribe territory. Also what's with the sleek armor design what happened to menacing! Sleek...Woopty doo. Damn Waterbenders, wipe out one measly tribe and they drag on a conflict for over a decade. You'd think they'd just give up. All the men are joking as we are so scared of Waterbending! The enemy is going to make us wet and throw snowballs at us. I've never taken Waterbenders seriously when me and my brother used to play war our non-bending friend played a Waterbender. His attack was throwing a cup of water at us! Never taken them seriously at all, which reminds me of another thing as well. Earthbenders! Bloody tramps...Always rolling around in mud and don't even wear shoes. I swear to the Fire Lord if I get kicked by another one of them again I'm going to seriously kill myself. Their greatest strength is just being a smelly pleb. Aww well I think I'd better get rea- Geez! What the hell was that!? Those idiots can't even sail straight, never liked boats. What's everyone running around for? Did chef make komodo chicken again? Well if he did I'm not missing out! '''

Day 9 99AG
By the Avatar last night...last night was just hell. Waterbenders came outta nowhere just attacked the ship, that what all the fuss was about. I'll never doubt them again, one threw a spear of water at Liu and it froze and impaled him. Damn! One of them got me I've got a cut the size of a komodo rhino's horn in my side. Ship's morale has really gone down, we're mostly newbies. The most scary thing was seeing fear in the sergeant's eyes, seeing a man who's been fighting for years just lose and start whimpering like a child. Pathetic! We all take the oath to gives our lives for the nation, for the Fird Lord. We found out their leader's name, some guy called Hakoda. 5 new recruits arrived today as the bodies of the dead were sent home. It's a nice way to die, you can say you fell for the nation. I admire the way our army works you fight through the ranks, Every general has been on the front lines, Even the Fire Lord heads some battles. What an honor, to fight alongside Fire Lord Ozai, It's a soldier's dream to fight alongside your leader. Our family believes in a warrior's death on the battlefield. Well I'm rambling, I'm worked up after the battle and can't wait for the counterattack. We've got someone called Fushi arriving tomorrow to brief us, I have a copy of his portrait that I've stuck on(I.D cards rule!). Hiding behind a mask, I don't approve I prefer my enemies to know who killed them.
Fu Yong
Day 10 99AG
Geez today was a good day, nothing better than raiding a supply convoy! I take back what I said about Fushi he's a swell guy. We raided the convoy and boy Water Tribe food sure beats rations. Jun was funny today always himself "But what about that family we can't leave them". Jun watch yourself or I'm gonna have to kill you if you keep being so funny! Weird he always acts so serious when he says them as if he means it. Fushi is pretty fun despite his appearance got some pretty funny stories about command. Ahh command, can't wait to I'm a General being waited on. But screw all that, Fire Nation women are hot!(ha ha!) Damn big-wigs spend more time with them than doing their jobs. With good reason! I bet even Fire Lord Ozai must try it sometime, he was never really that bothered about his wife vanishing(traitor). Why do all the cute ones have to be evil. But more about the convoy they amused us at our Thank you for not killing us party. Counterattack tomorrow, the guys were talking about my 'record' they were saying theirs were about 6 I thought they meant girlfriends so I said 10 and man were they jealous. We were joking about the attack earlier, Jon said 'Why do they always have attack from behind' and Jin said 'I always thought you liked it from behind Jon? Aha burned (Oh yea). Well that's it for now, looking back at yesterday's entry made me wonder what all the fuss was about. Just me overreacting again.

By composing pieces from photos find online, Jim Kazanjian creates "hyper-collages" inspired by classic horror literature, disputing the idea that photography has a sort of built-in objectivity.
My images are digitally manipulated composites built from photographs I find online.
The technique I use could be considered "hyper-collage". I cobble together pieces from photos I find interesting and feed them into Photoshop. Through a palimpsest-like layering process of adding and subtracting, I gradually blend the various parts together. I am basically manipulating and assembling a disparate array of multiple photographic elements (sometimes more than 50) to produce a single homogenized image. I do not use a camera at any stage in the process.
My method of construction has an improvisational and random quality to it, since it is largely driven by the source material I have available. I wade through my archive constantly and search for interesting combinations and relationships. Each new piece I bring to the composition informs the image's potential direction. It is an iterative and organic process where the end result is many times removed from its origin. I think of the work as a type of mutation which can haphazardly spawn in numerous and unpredictable directions.
I've chosen photography as a medium because of the cultural misunderstanding that it has a sort of built-in objectivity. This allows me to set up a visual tension within the work, to make it resonate and lure the viewer further inside. My current series is inspired by the classic horror literature of H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood and similar authors. I am intrigued with the narrative archetypes these writers utilize to transform the commonplace into something sinister and foreboding. In my work, I prefer to use these devices as a means to generate entry points for the viewer. I'm interested in occupying a space where the mundane intersects the strange, and the familiar becomes alien. In a sense, I am attempting to render the sublime.
Jim Kazanjian received his MFA from the Art Center College of Design in '92. His BFA was completed at the Kansas City Art Institute in '90. He has worked professionally as a commercial CGI artist for the past 18 years in television and game production. Various clients he has collaborated with include: Nike, Adidas, NBC, CBS, HBO, NASA, HP, Intel and others. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
