Stocks careened lowered Thursday morning, with the Dow falling more than 500 points to below 10,900 at its worst. The market has since rebounded a bit — the Dow was recently down nearly 4% to 10,951 — but traders remain on edge and confidence is low (repeat: low) heading into the final 2 hours of trading.
As Henry and I discuss in the accompanying clip, the sharp selloff suggests the rally late last week and Monday was a reprieve rather than the end of the decline. The reality is none of the issues purportedly responsible for the wicked selloff earlier this month — political dysfunction here and in Europe, slowing global growth, banks' exposure to bad debt (and other banks) — have been resolved; arguably, they've gotten worse in recent days.
A number of events have been cited for Thursday's decline, including:
New Worries about Old Europe: European bank stocks plummeted overnight amid reports on unnamed euro zone bank was forced to tap the ECB's lending window for $500 million because it couldn't raise funds from private sources. (In a separate but related story, The WSJ reports U.S. regulators are concerned about funding levels at U.S. units of European banks.)
Loose Lips Sink Ships: ECB council member Ewald Nowotny was quoted saying he fears a Japan-like "long term period of limited economic growth combined with low inflation rates." Meanwhile, Swedish banking official Lars Frisell said "it won't take much for the interbank market to collapse" and suggested banks prepare for such an eventuality. Such concerns help explain the "flight to safety" trade in gold and Treasuries, where the 10-year note briefly traded at a record low below 2% Thursday morning.
That 70's Show: A combination of weaker-than-expected reports on existing home sales and Philadelphia manufacturing plus a spike in the CPI revived fears of "stagflation", a pernicious combination of sluggish growth and rising inflation. The 0.5% monthly rise in CPI was the biggest since June 2009 while the 3.6% year-over-year gain is the highest since Oct 2008.
The Big Give Up: Economists at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley slashed their forecasts for global growth in 2011 and 2012. With the U.S. and euro zone "hovering dangerously close to recession," Morgan cut its outlook for global growth in 2012 to 3.8% from 4.5%. Notably, Morgan said another recession is "not our base case," suggesting it has more room to downgrade if current trends persist.
Similarly, many steadfast bulls are throwing in the towel on bets the worst has passed. Heading into this week, the Investors Intelligence poll showed bulls at 46.2% and bears at 23.7, which is pretty much the opposite of sentiment figures typically seen at a major market bottom.

I purchased the red circle shag leather rug for my living room. The quality is good and it looks GREAT! Thanks Rugs Direct.
I had to send this rug back. Made from overdyed leather strips, it left its mark on whatever it touched. Since I'm renting an apartment, I feared that the red would, in time, rub off on carpet beneath it. However, after Rugs Direct heard my dissatisfaction, they completely came through. Rug was returned and credit applied to my account. The rug didn't get 5 stars, but this merchandiser does!

19 Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.
20 If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not?
21 And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.
1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.
2 In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.
4 For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

In his first start since a wire-to-wire win in the British Open, McIlroy picked up his first World Golf Championship title at Firestone. And just like Royal Liverpool, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland made it look easy.
Sergio Garcia had a three-shot lead going into the final round. McIlroy opened with three straight birdies to take a one-shot lead. He never trailed the rest of the way, taking the lead for good with an 8-foot birdie on the 11th hole.
Tiger Woods withdrew after eight holes with back pain from jumping hard into a bunker on the second hole. It was only his third event since returning from back surgery.

Student's at Ohio's Franciscan University of Steubenville who had lobbied the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women last March, are joining a growing world community in raising their voices against the scourge of human trafficking.
On October 27th, a student group sponsored a talk by Dr. Laura Lederer, senior advisor on human trafficking to the US Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs, who told a standing-room only crowd that, worldwide, at least "600,000 victims of modern-day slavery are forced, defrauded, or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation."
"This", she added, "is a conservative figure."
Last spring break, Lederer said, "we teamed up—the State Department and the group of [Franciscan University] students Professor Brian Scarnecchia brought to the UN—to pass a resolution on trafficking that everyone had said was doomed to fail."
Particularly in underdeveloped countries, she said that sales of child sex, exploitation of migrant workers and children being forced to be soldiers, are rampant offenses against human dignity which need to be fought.
She also noted that in the United States, specifically, human trafficking usually involves sexual slavery.
"Young women and children", she said, numbering an estimated 14,000 in the U.S., "are lured into sex-trafficking rings with the promise of a valid job, more money, and a better life."
She told the group that "The US was one of the first countries in the world to pass an anti-trafficking law…We passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, which can be used as a model around the world for other countries."
Citing the State Department's official position, Lederer told the students that, "Prostitution is inherently harmful for men, women, and children…Because it's intrinsically harmful, we are opposed to legalizing it and considering it a legitimate form of work."
As she concluded, Lederer encouragingly pointed out that the students "are joining a growing number of communities who are coming together to learn about human trafficking, to raise public awareness, and to stop this modern-day form of slavery."
The presentation was sponsored by the Franciscan University Student Association and the campus's 'Solidarity' group, which focuses on social justice issues.

For the first time in six years, the Taste of Chicago turned a profit for the city, officials said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events announced Sunday that the revitalized festival was profitable for the first time since 2007, generating $272,000 in profit.
Officials estimated this year's fest, which featured 65 city restaurants, generated $106 million in total business activity to the Chicago economy and more than $2.35 million in tax receipts for the city, according to a press release from the mayor's office.
Last year, officials reported the Taste of Chicago suffered a $1.3 million loss, but this year's profit reversed the festival's "downward trend" even after some officials speculated it would never turn a profit again.
This year's success was attributed to the musical acts, the addition of pop-up restaurants, and adding food trucks to the evening concerts, the release said.
"We revamped the Taste to bring new food options, including food trucks and internationally-renowned chefs and music from chart-topping acts to attract people from all over the world to our city," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. "I am pleased to see that the Taste is proving to be popular, with higher attendance this year and its first profit since 2007."
The mayor has been cooking up changes to the festival since his 2011 election, condensing the event from 10 days to five days and selling $25 tickets for the Petrillo Music Shell.
"This year at the Taste we brought exciting new options together with timeless favorites and the result was an outstanding five day festival," Michelle Boone, Commissioner, Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, said in a statement. "We'll continue to work to have Taste drive tourism and strengthen our economy and provide residents and visitors an annual opportunity to enjoy our fantastic culinary scene."
Some also said the event attracted several tourists, which contributed to the increase in profits.
"The economic impact comes, in large part, from visitors traveling to Chicago to attend Taste," Scott Ranssi, Chief Operating Officer of Custom Intercept Solutions, said in a statement.
Ranssi said approximately 59 percent of the event attendees were from outside of Chicago.
Next year's taste is already being planned as the city looks to build on this year's success. The 2014 Taste of Chicago is scheduled for July 9-13 in Chicago's Grant Park.

A republic of northeastern Asia on the southern half of the peninsula of Korea, the Republic of Korea (South Korea) borders the Sea of Japan, the Korea Strait, the Yellow Sea, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at roughly the 38th parallel. Area: 99,274 sq km (38,330 sq mi). Pop. (1994 est.): 44,436,000. Cap.: Seoul. Monetary unit: won, with (Oct. 7, 1994) a free rate of 799 won to U.S. $1 (1,271 won = £ 1 sterling). President in 1994, Kim Young Sam; prime ministers, Lee Hoi Chang, Lee Yung Duk from April 22, and, from December 17, Lee Hong Koo.
The crisis over North Korea's nuclear program and the death of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung in July affected events in South Korea in 1994. At the truce village of Panmunjom in March, North and South Korea had begun talks to keep the peninsula free of nuclear weapons and set up a presidential summit. The negotiations collapsed, however, when the North threatened to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" for supporting sanctions against Pyongyang. Seoul had backed U.S. efforts to seek a UN Security Council vote to force North Korea to allow inspections of all its nuclear facilities to determine whether it was diverting plutonium to the production of nuclear weapons. North Korea said that it would consider sanctions an act of war.
As tensions on the peninsula mounted, U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton announced in late March that the U.S. would send Patriot antimissile batteries to South Korea. South Korean Pres. Kim Young Sam explained that they would be used to defend U.S. military bases. The first batch of missiles arrived in April. That month U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry visited Seoul to discuss plans to defend the South against North Korean aggression. The South Korean government agreed to modernize its forces by buying such sophisticated U.S. weapons as Apache attack helicopters and antitank missiles.
After months of escalating threats, North-South relations took an abrupt turn toward reconciliation. On June 28 both sides agreed to a date for a historic summit, the first ever between the presidents of North and South Korea. Kim Young Sam was to travel to Pyongyang on July 25 to meet his northern counterpart. This breakthrough came 10 days after former U.S. president Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang. Carter's mediation also led to the reopening of talks between North Korea and the U.S. over the North's nuclear program. These negotiations put South Korea in the delicate position of being an observer of events that would directly affect its security. In April South Korea had made a major concession by dropping its demand for an exchange of special envoys with North Korea as a condition for approving direct U.S.-North Korean talks to resolve the nuclear crisis.
In his first public remarks on relations with North Korea following the death of Kim Il Sung, Kim Young Sam supported the Geneva accord. He also pledged to supply Pyongyang with nuclear power technology if it opened its nuclear facilities to international inspection. In further talks with the U.S., however, North Korea ruled out South Korea's participation in building the nuclear power plants. When the U.S. continued to insist that the South have a role in providing nuclear technology to the North, the talks were stalemated.
When news of Kim Il Sung's death was announced, the government in Seoul refused to send official condolences to Pyongyang. On the day of Kim's funeral, thousands of riot police took up positions across South Korea to prevent public mourning. Hundreds of defiant students were arrested.
In mid-August, militant students staged a reunification rally in Seoul to coincide with celebrations of Korea's liberation from Japan in 1945. Some 6,000 students battled riot police, who arrested more than 1,000 demonstrators. The rioting that continued the next day led to more arrests.
The government crackdown surprised many South Koreans. Kim Young Sam, a former dissident and the nation's first president in more than 30 years who had not had a military career, was criticized for using the harsh National Security Law to arrest student demonstrators, as former military governments had done.
During the crisis with North Korea, the president kept firm control over government policy. Prime Minister Lee Hoi Chang resigned on April 22 following a dispute with Kim over how to respond to the nuclear crisis. Lee had insisted on his right to approve all decisions made by a Cabinet group set up to coordinate government policy on North Korea. Lee himself had not been included in the group. Previously, the office of prime minister had been largely ceremonial. Lee, a former Supreme Court justice, sought to play a more direct role in policy making. The president replaced Lee with Lee Yung Duk, deputy premier and minister for reunification. In May the president initiated another shake-up in his administration by replacing seven vice-ministers, including the vice-minister of foreign affairs, who had publicly contradicted administration policy regarding North Korea. None of those replaced was given new assignments.
The government was drawn into a domestic controversy when hundreds of reformist monks staged demonstrations at the Chogye Temple complex in central Seoul to protest the reelection of Suh Eui Hyun as head of the nation's largest Buddhist order. After weeks of clashes between the reformists and Suh's supporters, riot police stormed the temple complex on April 11 and detained 134 monks. Suh was forced to resign. The reformists accused him of accepting $10 million from a local businessman and funneling the money to Kim Young Sam's 1992 election campaign.
The president was embarrassed by a corruption scandal in Inchon, one of South Korea's largest cities. Government prosecutors had arrested seven city officials for embezzling more than $1 million in tax revenues. In September the city's mayor, Choi Ki Son, a close associate of the president, resigned and took responsibility for the scandal. Kim Young Sam renewed his pledge to fight graft and corruption.
On October 29 the prosecutor's office in Seoul ruled that two former presidents, Chun Doo Hwan and Roh Tae Woo, had participated in "premeditated military rebellion"--the 1979 military coup that brought them to power. Many felt that the effects of a prosecution would have been so disruptive that the nation would be better served if no trials were held. The government's decision not to prosecute the men so angered Lee Ki Taek, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, that he disrupted the National Assembly proceedings for several weeks. After resigning his seat on November 25, he called upon other legislators to follow his lead and force new elections.
A bright spot for the government was the economy. For several years economic growth had slowed to between 5% and 6%--brisk for most countries but a decline for South Korea. The government predicted gross domestic product growth of 8.5% for 1994. The stock market index leaped some 10% in September, breaking the 1,000 mark to hit a record high. The Finance Ministry announced in October that the ceiling on foreign holdings in Korean companies would be raised from 8% to 10% by year's end and to 15% in 1995. The country's export growth rate averaged 14% during the first 10 months of the year, the highest it had been since 1988. This success was attributed to South Korea's restructuring of its industries, to the high value of the Japanese yen, and to economic recoveries in Europe, the U.S., and Japan.

El Mezcalito — attempt to bring mescal into the fold
Agave-based avatar of San Diego's cocktails
Joseph O'Brien 2 p.m., Nov. 22
$$$$: So Michael Jackson once bought most of the Beatles song publishing - does that mean his estate is now raking in the bucks from the newest round of Fab Four marketing, including the Rock Band game and digital album releases?
SONY/ATV & Michael Jackson's music company would each share the publishing royalty -- which, as stated, is only paid on units SOLD (any CDs that are returned to Capitol-EMI for refund by retailers are discounted). And that amount is believed to be 50% of $0.0825 for every ORIGINAL song on every album except those written by George Harrison and Ringo Starr or the four songs held back by Dick James when he originally sold the song catalog to Northern Songs in 1968 ("From Me To You", "Love Me Do", "P.S. I Love You" and "Ask Me Why"). Those songs required separate publishing deals and revenue shares that do NOT involve Michael Jackson or his estate.
Lennon and McCartney each receive 1/2 of 50% of the $0.0825 songwriting royalty for every ORIGINAL song they wrote for any of the 13 Beatles CD remasters. McCartney has indicated that his unresolved rift between him and Michael Jackson dealt with his request, on behalf of him and Lennon -- to get a bigger songwriting royalty. This indicates to those outside the Beatle camp that the deal Jackson original purchased may have been pulling MORE than the industry standard 50% leaving Lennon & McCartney less than their 50%. McCartney asked for a raise and Jackson refused. They never spoke to each other again after that.
Regardless, BOTH royalties are called the "mechanical" royalty -- one is the publishing share, one is the songwriting share. These royalty shares are also in place for any radio airplay that occurs around the world giving Jackson a piece of the Beatles everytime their songs get played -- or someone does a cover version.
To complicate matters, there are VIDEOS on each of these CD remasters which requires a synchronization royalty because the music is being married to visuals (i.e. film). So, the splits are nearly identical for that, though it's hard to say what the original publishing deal was that the songwriters signed in the 1960's.
THEN...there is the sales royalty based on the recordings themselves which has been a source of speculation for years. Epstein signed the Beatles to an absolutely criminal royalty rate with Parlophone in 1962 -- which included an equal share of the sale of every album to all four members of the band. The Beatles received a slightly larger pay increase upon renewing with Parlophone via Capitol Records in early 1967 -- and the term of the contract was extended from 5 years to 9 years...keeping the band tied to the label even after they'd split up -- finally elapsing in 1976. Lennon, Harrison and Starr all left Capitol at that time even after renewing the terms of their deal for BEATLES ONLY product for another 9 years [it is assumed the Beatles got another raise as Capitol was then allowed to release "Rock And Roll Music", "Hollywood Bowl" and "Rarities" as a concession].
That deal was renewed again every 5 years [giving us "Reel Music" and "20 Greatest Hits"] and by 1992/1993 The Beatles and their revived corporate representatives, Apple Records, laid out a business plan that would have Beatles product re-launched, like Disney movies, intermittently over the next 45-50 years. The "Anthologies" were the first salvo, followed by "1", The White Album Anniversary Remaster [not actually remastered, just reissued], "Yellow Submarine Songtrack", and "Let It Be: Naked" plus the most recent "Love" re-creation of classic tracks remixed.
There is no way of knowing how much money each of the Beatles is receiving for the CDs they sell. An EMI-Canada promotions manager for The Beatles "1" album told me years ago, he thinks it's 40% on the wholesale rate -- and that the Beatles do NOT allow any discounts of their product or promotional copies to be charged back to their account (which is standard practice...and why so many artists never make a dime from sales of their records).
The Beatles also renegotiated their "controlled composition" clauses in their deal. Standard practice in the music industry since RCA Records invented the Long Play album in 1948 is that a label would not pay a royalty for any song exceeding 10 compositions on a record. If you notice, many of the Beatles early albums have 12 or 14 tracks. The Beatles would only get paid for 10 of those songs on each album. As smart business men, even at the beginning, they realized that the more original compositions they had on each record, the more money they'd make. But Parlophone insisted on cover tunes -- so the Beatles fought to have 2 to 4 cover tunes on each of the early albums as 'throw aways' that were not counted against their 10 controlled compositions. [Robert Palmer changed the industry standard in 1990 when he insisted on getting paid for every song because of the extended play time of CD releases. His album featured 18 songs]
And make no mistake, the band makes money from EVERY single piece of merchandise that features their faces or the Beatles logo. This may look crass and greedy on the surface, but few people know that The Beatles never made a penny off Beatlemania between 1963 and 1966 because Brian Epstein gave the rights away for the band's merchandising during that 4 year period. All the money from Beatle wallpaper, curtains, lamps, mini-record players, combs, Beatle wigs, clothing accessories, et al went straight into the pockets of official licensees around the world. When Epstein died, the Beatles vowed to control all aspects of the group's intellectual and physical properties (where they could).
And this is why there is now a Beatles empire controlled by their representatives at Apple Records.

Seriously, this is a huge issue here at my house. Hubby refuses to actually use a quilt I make for him, says "I don't want anything to happen to it." Now don't get me wrong here, I really appreciate the sentiment in his words but did not spend weeks and even months on a quilt designed just for him for it to be stashed in the closet. Never to be used or hardly even seen. He brings them out maybe twice a year to fluff them in the dryer(air cycle of course) or just lays them on beds to air them out then it's right back to the closet to be hidden. He has 2 of them now and I am working on a Harry Potter one for him now but, it's really hard to get into the swing of making it if it's just gonna end up in the closet with the others. So, just how do you guys get them to use it??
First quilt I ever made, I kinda see why he hides this one LoL!
Designed just for him out of his old Trek shirts

Several local beer-makers show interest in a new liquor license that would allow them to serve beer straight from the brewery, Minneapolis city officials said.
The city council's regulatory services committee Monday approved a change to the city's liquor license ordinance that aligns city law with a state law passed earlier this year. The law was informally named after the Brooklyn Center-based beermaker Surly. The full council will vote on the ordinance change next week.
Surly proposes to build a new $20 million brewery with a taproom, but hasn't chosen a location. Council member Elizabeth Glidden says Minneapolis is rolling out the welcome mat to Surly and other beermakers.
"Obviously this is a big shift in MInnesota state law, so we are excited in Minneapolis to be able to take advantage of this change in law that also produces some really exciting economic development opportunities for businesses," Glidden said. "And we hope more come to the city of Minneapolis."
Jim Diley, with Minneapolis-based Fulton Beer, believes the taproom ordinance will help boost the city's economy.
"When we look at similar beer cities, such as Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colo.; we can see the great impact of these small breweries and tourism from regional and national visitors," Diley said.

CSI:Miami/The O.C. Fanatics,

Posted 27 April 2005 - 08:13 AM
I'm wanting to make a building for VC, but since it involves TV, I posted my question here. It's probably not an answerable one though, but here it goes...
Does anyone know the real name of the CSI:Miami Crime Lab Headquarters/ The Newport Group Building? I would like to know so I can search for Pictures and Info on it. Ironically enough it's the same building. If it's not, then it has the exact same look and design.
Thanks for any help. I don't expect much though.

Last Wednesday morning I awoke with butterflies in my stomach, as did many of my Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa colleagues here in Honduras: at 9:00 a.m., the trial against us started.
In my last post, I wrote about how SETECH, a security company whose abysmal labor practices have motivated more than 150 complaints lodged with the Ministry of Labor in the last five years, but nonetheless enjoys lucrative government contracts, has been trying for years to silence ASJ's outcries on behalf of poor security guards.
Even the assassination of ASJ labor lawyer Dionisio Diaz Garcia in December 2006 did not silence those cries; but nor was it the last threat to ASJ's work. In January 2007, SETECH filed charges against ASJ -- specifically against ASJ co-founder Kurt Ver Beek -- alleging that an ad published by ASJ chronicling SETECH's labor violations, as established by the Ministry of Labor, constituted slander.
Back to Wednesday morning. The date for the trial had been set eight months earlier, and both sides had been preparing. I walked into courtroom #1 at the Francisco Morazán Sentence Tribunal around 9:15 a.m., and saw an awesome sight: every single chair in the gallery was occupied by an ally of justice, many of them representatives of local and international NGOs, there in support of Kurt and ASJ. On the sidewalk outside the court building, two dozen men, women, and children who had benefited from our work held a peaceful demonstration, holding up signs with slogans like "Justice for ASJ." And all of us there for ASJ in the courtroom knew that there were an additional 300 or so people around the world who had sent e-mails to the Supreme Court on our behalf, and thousands who were praying -- and that all of them were with us in spirit.
To our great surprise, the only person conspicuously absent as the minutes ticked by was the one who had caused the whole trial in the first place: Selvin Richard Swasey, owner of SETECH.
At 10:00 a.m. the three judges on the panel assigned to the case assumed their positions behind the judges' table and called the court to order. On the right of the room sat Kurt and ASJ lawyer Veronica Murillo; on the left sat SETECH's lawyer, Jose Marcelino Vargas, alone. The first order of business was to find out why that was. "My client is currently out of the country," Mr. Vargas stated.
Wow. While we were completely prepared to go to trial, rooted in the knowledge and conviction that Kurt and everyone involved with AJS have always sought simply to speak up for the defenseless, Swasey seemed to have realized that he could not win this unjustly founded trial -- and not only preferred not to show up to the courtroom, but had apparently left the country. Due to Swasey's absence, the judges set a new trial date for November of this year. However, given Swasey's decision not to appear in court today, we believe it is highly unlikely that he will show up for a trial in November, or ever.
There are still many battles to be fought. SETECH continues to exploit its workers (last November 80 of them burned their uniforms in protest because they hadn't been paid in three months) yet also continues to hold government contracts. While the hit-men who killed Dionisio were convicted last year, those who hired them have yet to be brought to justice.
Still, SETECH's no-show on Wednesday for a trial they themselves had been pushing for the last three years was an important victory. We are rejoicing, saying to God, in the words of King David, "You made my enemies turn their backs in flight" (2 Samuel 22:41).
Please join us in thanking God!

It sounds like a particularly awful type of Thai massage doesn't it? You know, one of those excruciating experiences where two people massage you at once and all of a sudden you feel a creepy fifth hand upon a personal part of your anatomy.
No? Maybe that's just me then.
This was all over the gossip sites yesterday as "a source close to" Posh Spice had revealed that she was keen to lose her baby weight fast, so was resorting to this fairly severe diet. First things first. Let's examine this statement.
1. Who is this "close source"? He or she seems to pop up in EVERY single situation concerning Victoria Beckham or Jennifer Aniston. Could it be that this is a made up entity and that the gossip magazine has simply made up the story? Surely not.
2. Victoria Beckham didn't HAVE any baby weight to lose. And you don't have to be an "insider" to know that.
Anyway now that we've dissected the invalidity of this story lets find out more about the diet. Essentially it's a No Carbs Before Marbs type job coupled with extreme portion control. Lean protein, in portions no bigger than a palm sized amount, will starve you thin in no time at all that's for sure.
From Grazia: The regime consists of having just five handfuls of food a day, and a source told the publication she has been snacking on tiny portions of smoked salmon, prawns with chilli, yellow-fin tuna sushi and scrambled eggs.
"Victoria wants to be in the best shape she can in time for New York Fashion Week," the insider claimed.
"Five days after giving birth, she started eating five high-protein meals a day accompanied by green vegetables, drinking gallons of water, and only snacking on goji berries and nuts."
Poor Posh. Sounds miserable doesn't it? Think you'd be able to do it?

New Plan to Stop Gun Violence in Newark [AUDIO]
With gun violence escalating in Newark, authorities have put forth a two-pronged plan to get things under control.
"TIDE, which stands for Targeted Integrated Deployment Effort, will put more uniformed troopers on the streets, with plain cloth detectives from the state police and the Newark police department to suppress shootings in the most violent neighborhoods in Newark," said acting state Attorney General John Hoffman during a news conference Wednesday, "and the targeted anti-gun initiative known as TAG will make maximum use of New Jersey's tough gun laws to put criminals who carry guns behind bars."
Hoffman said the staccato rhythm of gunshots you hear on the streets of Newark is something that most Americans never hear, and it causes nervousness and fear.
"In a modern society such as ours, that is just simply unacceptable," he said. "The people of Newark deserve better; they should not have to settle for a life of fear, living in terror that shootings can occur at any time. So all levels of law enforcement are not working together to lock up gun-toting gangsters, drug dealers and recidivist criminals who have been ratcheting up gun violence to intolerable levels."
Hoffman said the TIDE-TAG strategy was unveiled last summer in Trenton, and it worked well to quell violent shootings.
Now is the time to take action," he said. "Unfortunately, shootings and murders escalate in the spring and summer with the warm weather. That is why we have to get out ahead of this problem. We're not going to wait for a murder spike, we're acting now so we can save lives."
Members of the New Jersey State Police will spearhead the initiative, working with Newark Police, and troopers and other law enforcement personnel will utilize intelligence from the Regional Operations and Intelligence Center "in order to zero in on the gang members, drug dealers and serial offenders most responsible for perpetuating the violence in Newark," Hoffman said.
He also said public support is being sought to identify those carrying guns in the streets, and a tip line has been set up: 1-877-TIPS-4-EC.
"There's a simple message to criminals," Hoffman said. "Get your guns off the street or we are taking you off the street."

Postered Poang
Materials: Poang armchair, posters
Description: My Toronto School of Art collage class was collecting posters from telephone poles, when I spotted an old Poang armchair in the alleyway. The wood was split and the back support and cushions were gone, but I grabbed the chair and cleaned it up.
So I ripped up the posters and glued them to the chair, with acrylic gel medium. I made back slats out of cardboard, and stapled on a particularly large poster to form the new back.
The chair is now on exhibit at the school. It will be returned to the alleyway (unless someone out there wants to own this objet d'art, which is not suitable for seating).
~ Alana Boltwood, Toronto

Taken from the street and revived only to be returned again to the street. Poignant.
ooooooooooh pick me.. I want that chair.. I am in Detroit too! [email protected]
anonymous – I would love to give you the chair, but I put it out on the street a few days ago. If you're at Spadina & Richmond in Toronto, look for it…

According to the Topeka Capital Journal, Chaske Spencer has been helping a local tribe leading workshops on for local youth and their families on several areas of need.
"Chiefs of police for the Kickapoo, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, Iowa Tribe, and the Sax and Fox joined forces to bring Spencer to Kansas.
"I went to a conference in Palm Springs last December," said Kickapoo Police Chief Gordon Smith. "Chaske Spencer was a speaker."
Smith said he came back to Kansas and spoke to the other police chiefs about bringing the actor to the area.
"The guy has been phenomenal," Smith said. "He is not your typical actor. He goes out and sits with the kids, poses for photos. He is a totally different person, as far as actors go."

If La Sera's last two albums more or less mirrored the trajectory of sole songwriter Katy Goodman's larger joint venture as part of Vivian Girls, the correspondence ends with Hour of the Dawn. While 2011's Share the Joy, which turned out to be the girls' third and last album, exposed their arrival at an interesting creative stasis since carefully and thoughtfully branching out and exploring post-debut possibilities on Everything Goes Wrong — not to mention departing from neo-Black Tambourine instant gratification — Goodman's solo project continues to develop and mature, incorporating small and large touches that may have been missed by those following Vivian Girls' last release.
Hour of the Dawn should be a welcome effort for those initial Vivian fans who have gone on to follow the various side- and solo-projects that formed relatively soon after they made a name for themselves, especially the fans who aren't too tied up in the former band's predilection for pedals 'n' effects. And La Sera stand out among all these projects for good reason. While Frankie Rose has since achieved her own deserved recognition, she was only an early member of the band; and Cassie Ramone's The Babies is effectively its own entity that just happens to feature a former musician of the band. Goodman, however, has not only always been a contributing member, but has also been making music as La Sera about as long as Vivian Girls had ceased their output in 2011. Nevertheless, even just a casual listen will show that she's come a long way, songwriting-wise, since her 2011 self-titled: Dawn continues to shed away the shoegaze/noise pop factor that started with Sees the Light, retaining an interesting, self-aware brand of neo-indie pop that's filtered through a now-experienced solo artist given to limited yet still playful experimentation.
In fact, some of Hour of the Dawn might be mistaken for the kind of lax soft-pop album older songwriter might have released in the twilight of their career were it not for the throwbacks to 2008. Starting with the particular noise/fuzz reminiscent of Everything Goes Wrong and Share the Joy on opener "Losing To The Dark," Dawn transitions to a slower pace and a more obvious concern with songwriting and production on "Summer Of Love," before gravitating back to quality bombast on "Running Wild." And so it goes back and forth until the closing songs, starting with "Control," a Slumberland-type melody carried along by Police-/Smiths-/Cure-style guitars, which is followed up by "10 Headed Goat Wizard," perhaps the most distinct song on the entire album with its acoustic flourishes and harmonizing vocals. It's one of Goodman's strongest moments yet, until album closer "Storm's End," a mostly instrumental and guitar-driven number that seems to touch upon not only all of the themes in Hour of the Dawn, but also those from Goodman's time in Vivian Girls.
While Vivian Girls were still around and releasing music, it was interesting to see how La Sera would develop its sound from album to album, especially after such a well-received, polarizing, even controversial debut that was arguably heavy on the neo-factor. For any artist, maneuvering or negotiating between the expectations or need for change is a process fraught with all manner of difficulties. For her own sake, Katy Goodman seems to be changing, developing, maturing (whatever you want to call it) as an artist at her own pace, and however slowly or carefully that may be, we're all the more fortunate for it.

Boise - Nov. 24th, 2009
Boise Police have some timely safety reminders for shoppers about to hit the city's busy retail areas for some holiday shopping. Officers hope these tips will remind shoppers that they can do many things to help police keep holiday gifts and valuables safe, and make the busy shopping season nothing but enjoyable.
Boise Police will have extra patrols in cars and on foot patrolling busy retail areas, particularly the areas around the Franklin and Milwaukee corridors. Officers will provide extra patrol during what retailers have identified as the busiest shopping times, usually evenings and weekends.
Boise Police have found that extra patrols and a visible presence by police can be a potential deterrent to crime. Also, with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the mall area, patrols already nearby have a faster response time to calls for service. Downtown retail areas will also receive special attention from Boise Police patrols, particularly downtown police bike patrols.
Despite extra police patrols, officers urge shoppers to take these important steps to insure their own safety and security.
The following personal safety reminders come from the Boise Police Crime Prevention Unit:
Holiday Public Safety Display:
Boise Police Volunteers will have a public safety display for shoppers set up inside the Boise Towne Square Mall on weekends beginning Friday, Nov. 28th through the holiday season. The safety display will include free handouts for shoppers on personal safety and crime prevention tips, as well as fun crime prevention educational items for the kids and photos with Mcgruff the Crime dog!
Boise Police hope these tips help everyone have a safe, enjoyable holiday!!!

Charimaya Tamang who was honoured with the 2011 Hero Acting to End Modern-Day Slavery Award in Washington DC, said the recognition had encouraged her to fight human trafficking and injustice against Nepali women.
Speaking to the media upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport from the US, where she was honoured by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Tamang underscored the need of unity to fight the evil of human trafficking. "If we all work together and move forward, we can eliminate human trafficking," she said.
Tamang gave credit to all Nepali women for the award. "This award is not my personal recognition but it is the recognition of the efforts made by all Nepali people working to end human trafficking. It is the pride of all Nepalis," Tamang said.
Tamang added the international recognition further showed there are valiant women working to end modern day slavery. "This honour also testifies that hard work and perseverance pays in the long run," she added.
Tamang , a survivor of trafficking herself, was felicitated with the award on June 27 in the US during the release of the 2011 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report at the State Department in Washington.
The 2011 TIP Report had noted, "Born into a poor family made poorer by the passing of her father, Charimaya Tamang was 16 when she was trafficked to India. She spent 22 months enslaved in a brothel before the Indian government rescued her and more than 200 other Nepali women in 1996. Upon her return to Nepal, Tamang faced social stigma and was outcast from her own community. But she courageously filed a case against her traffickers, becoming the first person to file personally a trafficking case with the district police. In 1997, the District Court – in a landmark decision – convicted and sentenced eight offenders involved in her case."
In 2000, Tamang and 15 other survivors established Shakti Samuha, an anti-trafficking NGO. She received a national honour for her work in 2007 and is currently one of two trafficking survivors serving as members of the government-led National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking, which was founded in 2009.

Wieters knows what Zaun brings to Rays
Wieters knows what Zaun brings to Rays
The Rays are just beginning to see the influence of Zaun, the energetic 14-year veteran who almost immediately has engulfed the clubhouse with his personality. Down the hallway, in the visiting clubhouse, one former teammate knows about it firsthand.
"You see that passion come out of him," said Orioles rookie catcher Matt Wieters. "That passion is something that's going to keep him in this game a long time."
The Rays picked up Zaun through a waiver trade on Aug. 7, after he spent the first four months of the season with the O's. He primarily served as the backup catcher, especially after the May call up of Wieters, Baltimore's top prospect.
As Wieters has developed throughout his rookie season, he looks strongly at how he was affected by Zaun -- an experienced veteran known for his toughness, knowledge, personality and outgoing passion for the sport.
The Rays players are starting to recognize that now. Wieters said he's known it since March, when Zaun took him in during Spring Training.
"He was a great influence on me," Wieters said. "To hear from him was huge. He's definitely a good influence and a good model that I got to learn from."
In the first two games of this series, both were starting, though for opposite clubs. Entering Wednesday's contest, Zaun was batting .350 in seven games for the Rays. Wieters hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning on Tuesday night, his fourth homer of the season.
The respect between the backstops is mutual.
"He's a great kid, he really is," Zaun said. "And that was one of the things that made life easy for me. I was working with a guy as little as I did work with him. My approach was to leave him alone and let him do it for a while, because he obviously did some really special things to be thought of the way he is by that organization."
Zaun has never been flashy or highly touted offensively, as Wieters has. Zaun is a career .251 hitter in 14 seasons with nine different teams, and his career high in home runs is 12 (with Toronto in 2006). But his experience, work ethic and ability to work with pitching staffs have kept him on rosters over the years.
Finding a roster spot may not be a difficult thing for the talented 23-year-old Wieters. And down the road, he may have Zaun to thank, in some ways, for that.
"He's been around and seen more things than I can even imagine," Wieters said. "I just tried to soak up all of his experiences he's had in the past and try and learn from what he's been through."

A REVELLER was stabbed in the back in a city nightclub during a violent New Year's Eve on Tyneside.
Tensions flared as drinkers saw in 2013 and police were today probing a series of attacks which left six people injured.
There were 179 people arrested in the Northumbria Police area on New Year's Eve, although that was down from 220 the year before.
Fights broke out moments after midnight.
At just before 12.10am, reports of a brawl on a street in North Tyneside were received by police.
When officers arrived at Rocket Way, in Forest Hall, two men, aged 22 and 36, were taken to hospital and both were arrested on suspicion of assault.
Police say their injuries are not life-threatening.
Forest Hall resident Michael Thompson said: "I got a taxi back at half-two and the police had the street taped off."
The violence continued with a spate of attacks in pubs and clubs.
At just after 1.30am, police were called to Bar 44 on Ocean Road in South Shields where a man had been attacked. The 21-year-old was taken to hospital with a head injury but has since been discharged.
Police believe he had been punched, and a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault.
Men seeing in the New Year at nightclubs in Newcastle and Sunderland also started 2013 in hospital.
One clubber celebrating at LQ on Newcastle's New Bridge Street was stabbed in the back near the venue.
He was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary following the attack, which happed at just before 4.10am, after the nightclub had closed. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Three men, one aged 23 and two aged 24, were arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent.
A 24-year-old man was stabbed in the arm at the Basement and Utopia Bar on Green Terrace in Sunderland. He was seriously injured but his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
Police were called at just after 2am and they arrested a 22-year-old man on suspicion of wounding with intent.
Officers are now appealing for witnesses.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "The club was very busy at the time of the assault and officers are asking that anyone with information about the offence contact police."
Officers are also trying to piece together why a woman was stabbed at a house in Fawdon, Newcastle.
Staff at the Royal Victoria Infirmary called police at around 1.15am to say they were treating a 33-year-old who had a wound to her chest.
It is believed she was injured at a house on Amherst Road.
Chief Supt Kay Blyth, of Northumbria Police, said officers made quick arrests after the attacks and that most of the people involved knew each other.
She said: "We dealt with a number of incidents on New Year's Eve. The vast majority of people were out to have a good time and did not cause any problems.
"Although the night was busy, it was not unusually so compared to most New Year's Eves."
Anyone with information about the attacks should call police on 101.

Medical Definition of Black plague
Black plague: In 14th-century Europe, the victims of the "black plague" had bleeding below the skin (subcutaneous hemorrhage) which made darkened ("blackened") their bodies. Black plague can lead to "black death" characterized by gangrene of the fingers, toes, and nose. Black plague is caused by a bacterium (Yersinia pestis) which is transmitted to humans from infected rats by the oriental rat flea.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Product Research
Overview: The On-Q/Legrand lyriQ Four Source, Eight Zone Distribution Module (AU1002) provides the central connection to which all other parts of an On-Q lyriQ multi-source audio system connect. It can receive output from up to four audio sources (via lyriQ Triple and Single Source Input units) over Cat 5e cable, and distributes the audio to amplifier volume controls in various zones throughout your home.
Connections: All components of a lyriQ Multi-Source Audio System are wired centrally from this Four Source, Eight Zone Distribution Module. In addition to providing a central point of connection, the AU1002 distributes the necessary voltage to power the system (one power supply per each four zone group, P/N F7723 sold separately). The lyriQ Triple-Source and Single-source Inputs and lyriQ Keypad Volume Controls (all sold separately) connect directly the module utilizing RJ-45 connections. The system can support expansion by "daisy chaining" lyriQ Sing Source, Four Zone Distribution Module, to any of the eight outputs. The AU1002 features an IR RJ-45 jack that can be used to both receive and transmit IR signals and has its own LED for activity status. The Intercom RJ-45 jack is used to connect to the On-Q Intercom System via the Audio Interrupt Module (P/N ICAIV2x, sold separately), which is used to mute your lyriQ Audio System while someone is using the Intercom System.
Mounting: The On-Q/Legrand AU1002 come supplied with a mounting plate for mounting within an On-Q style structured wiring enclosure.

have just arranged driving lessons for my daughter with KanKan. she has just had her first lesson and they have been great and given her her confidence back after her previous instructer from our local village gave up on her and told her 'you are not a natural driver'. Even after one lesson I am so impressed with KanKan and her instructor Vicky and would recommend them to all of my friends.

Canucks and Beyond
Princess Diaries—Playoff Notes
by Alanah McGinley on 04/15/09 at 12:50 PM ET
Comments (0)
Canucks vs Blues—Game One
The Battle of the Cinderellas is ready to commence, so here's the first installment of the Princess Diaries—random game day notes for this series (*or at least for as long as I can get away with calling Keith Tkachuk & Co. "princesses").
- A group of Canucks fans have decided to add charity (and off-the-charts lunacy) to their playoff hopes: They "plan to donate a live goat to a needy African family for each game the Canucks win during their run for the Stanley Cup." Seriously. Who else but Vancouverites would think of that?
- Alternately, Nucks Misconduct will be putting the cash to the Canucks for Kids fund in honor of Luc Bourdon. Readers are encouraged to throw in. (Please do. It's easier than shipping a freakin' goat to Africa, for godsakes.)
- A new Canucks Special Edition Playoff Card: Pavol Demitra has been added to the collection:
- Sorry about the Demitra card. I thought it might be well advised to be proactive and nullify any potential Demitra jinxes before they happen. He's been healthy for a while—multiple weeks—and it's making everyone nervous.
- More Canucks Special Edition Cards.
- Blues coach Andy Murray ran his practice out of UBC yesterday at the last minute. (The series might be starting tonight, but the 'games' have begun already…) Still, Phil Esposito is in love.
- If you're on a diet, stop it. The playoffs are no time to be eating healthy, as the risks of injury and damages are severe. Think about it: throw a hefty red delicious apple at your $1,500, 42" HDTV and you're in huge damn trouble. But freak out with a couple bags of Doritos and a cheese burger? No harm done!
- During Roberto Luongo's interview on CBC last night he said he's basically relaxed and excited for the playoffs. Nice for him but not so nice for us. Canucks fans want him angry and defensive. Tell that man he's a bad goalie and it turns out he'll respond promptly with about 7 shutout periods in a row. (You suck, Roberto!)
- Contrary to everyone else, I'll argue that neither this series, nor the Canucks playoff run in general, will come down to just Roberto Luongo. He'll need to be tight, but the team isn't completely offensively-impotent anymore. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll tell you this much… If Luongo is the only factor in these playoffs, the Canucks won't be getting that far. This ain't New Jersey.
- More proof this ain't Jersey: the Canucks/Blues series will be broadcast in Punjabi. Anyone know of any other language broadcasts?
- Tonight represents the true beginning of the Mike Gillis Era. He's been adamant that he's a man of the future, not the past. He insists that we can forget all about past disappointments, horrors and pain, and dream safely of big shiny cups and happy little Vancouverite children waving car flags and sipping champagne. This attitude has prompted 20% of Vancouverites to estimate the Canucks will win the Stanley Cup, so I guess the Gillis Kool Aid is doing its magic. (Which is fine with me… this is the time for blind hope and optimism. With as much tequila to power it as humanly possible.)
- Incidentally, I hate the generally accepted hockey fan formula that says if the team is winning, the coach and GM are responsible, but if the team is losing, it's all down to players having no 'heart'.
- Willie Mitchell takes the joke "planning the parade route" a bit further—he actually planned the parade route. But you can't make fun of him when he follows it up with a comment like this: "It's my dream. It's what I play for." Sorta the same reason I've given about $91 to Shaw Cable every month for as long as I can remember.
- PJ Stock on CBC last night said something to the effect of "Sundin might be the most important Canucks player in this series." He may have been making some cleverly sarcastic joke, but I don't think he's far wrong. Like Gillis, Sundin's time is now. My expectations go up exponentially. He's a playoff kinda guy… but can he still bring that magic?
- Finally, a cheap shot: Keith Tkachuk, the good old days.

ZF010020 - Knife group with belt for LSK series
- Suitable for the following machine series:
- Printable version
- Contacts:
Angelo Zambelli
The upgrade consists in the replacement of the entire cutting unit.
This is part of a series of new solutions studied by SMI in order to upgrade to the latest version all the machines already installed on site.
This new group is different from the previous version mainly for the addition of a belt set, in order to guide the film while coming out from the knife group.
This modification grants a smooth transfer of the film and avoids possible folds on the film during the delivery under the product; also the centering of the film has been improved, thanks to the belt instead of the plate that does not keep the plastic as the rubber tape (green parts, picture no.1).
The same belt makes the system more flexible both in the supply ramp and in film quality: the elimination of the metallic plate reduces the incidence of the electrostatic energy during the exit from the cutting group towards the wrapper section. The mobile transportation prevents any tears due to the static resistance of the film on the plate.
According to a maintenance cost saving policy and easy spare parts finding, the group has been completely revised by eliminating the transmission with motor-gearbox in favor of a belt-pulley system.
The new cutting group features new materials and new superficial treatments, in order to prevent attacks from corrosive agents, such as rust. Some surface treatments also increase the machine hygienic level, by making the cleaning operations easier.
If not specified, this offer does not include installation and commissioning of the group.
Minimum requirements:
Machine database to be provided, in order to allow the software upgrade without losing the formats customization.
- Increased reliability of the film transferring;
- Maintenance cost saving.

Several people evacuated from a University City apartment building Wednesday night when they were overcome by a noxious odor, possibly pepper spray, fire officials said.
Five people went to a hospital for treatment after inhaling the odor in a top-floor hallway of their 5-story apartment building on Judicial Drive near La Jolla Village Drive about 7 p.m., San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque said.
Two firefighters felt the same symptoms of irritated throats and breathing difficulty when they went into the corridor, Luque said.
Residents in seven units on the fifth floor evacuated, but other residents stayed in their rooms.
Luque said San Diego police officers talked to some of those who had smelled the odor and, as an experiment, sprayed some of their pepper spray onto a nearby tree. The residents said the odor was the same as that in the hallway.
A building security guard then told police there had been a release of pepper spray in the building a few weeks ago, but no one was injured and he had not reported it, Luque said.

According to a story in the NY Post, ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips has been caught dipping his pen in the company ink, so to speak, as revelations have surfaced that the 46-year-old Phillips had an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant named Brooke Hundley.
Now here's the weird part. After getting unceremoniously dumped, Hundley went all "Fatal Attractiony" on Phillips and his family. Hundley would call Phillips' wife Marni repeatedly, screaming at her, "we both can't have him!" She then went on to pose as a classmate of Phillips' 16-year-old son on Facebook, in order to glean more info about the family. Her final act of jilted lunacy involved a letter to Marni, outlining her and Phillips' sexcapades, which she hand delivered to the Phillips home. In her haste to leave after dropping off the letter, Hundley smashed her car into a stone column.
Needless to say, Phillips and his family were terrified. So much so that they finally went to the police. In a statement to the cops, Phillips said that he and Hundley had three sexual encounters, and that after he broke off the affair, Hundley became "obsessive and delusional."
Here's a copy of the letter Hundley sent to Marni Phillips…
Two things in this letter jump out at me…the first being the old "I had a vasectomy so you can't get pregnant" story, and the vivid and disturbing description of Steve Phillips' crotch.
And thanks to some phenomenal investigative journalism by our friends at the Big Lead, a couple of pictures of Brooke Hundley have surfaced.
Apparently Steve Phillips has a little Bill Clinton in him. But to be fair, I'm sure Brooke Hundley has a wonderful personality. Most plump, unattractive girls do.
For his troubles, Steve Phillips is being sued for divorce by Marni, whom the NY Post refers to as "a stunning green-eyed blonde," as well as being suspended by ESPN for one week.
This revelation, along with the sordid Steve McNair murder, should serve as a lesson to any guy thinking of cheating…you're gonna get caught, and it's gonna get ugly. So keep it in your pants fellas. [NY Post]

Food-growing mamas--question please!
So, I put some tomatoes and basil in a large-ish pot today, but I think I may have screwed up. I wanted to separate the basil, since it looks like it actually came with a bunch of small plants in a pot, but I'm worried that I damaged the roots even though I tried to be gentle. I went ahead and put it in anyway, but should I just wait and see? Did I probably kill the plant? :(
I've always had trouble growing basil. It might be climate thing for me, but I usually just buy a plant that is already established. As far as root damage, I've separated other plants and haven't had trouble, so it probably just depends on how resilient the plant is and just how damaged the roots are. Good luck!
Most herbs are pretty easy to separate without too much damage.
All you can do is wait and see. Good luck!
It should be fine. Water them and wait to see if they survived
Just wait and see....they may be a little shocked for a few days, keep them damp not soaking wet and wait...I did the same thing to some tomatoes and some coleus plants and they both did fine.
Quoting Randi02:
Most herbs are pretty easy to separate without too much damage.

Around 100 Māori and New Zealand-based Pasifika artists will represent Aotearoa alongside 26 other Pacific nations at the 12th Festival of Pacific Arts in Guam next May and June.
Considered the premier arts and culture event for the Pacific region, this is a government-to-government invitation, with the Māori Committee of the Arts Council of Creative New Zealand responsible for Aotearoa's representation.
Invitations to the festival were extended to indigenous peoples of the Pacific, and Māori extended their invitation to New Zealand-based contemporary Pasifika artists to present a distinct Aotearoa voice.
"Once again we're extremely pleased with the quality of artists who will be representing Aotearoa next year," said Darrin Haimona, Head of the Aotearoa delegation for the 2016 festival and Chair of the Māori Committee.
"Together with our Pasifika brothers and sisters we will showcase the best of Māori and Pacific art from our country."
Artists were invited to submit applications to be part of the Aotearoa delegation. Those selected represent a breadth of artforms ranging from customary Māori arts such as clay artistry, waka navigation, tā moko, weaving, kapa haka, carving and traditional music, through to contemporary arts practices such as (contemporary) dance, music, visual arts, moving image and sculpture, spoken-word poetry and theatre.
"The artists in our delegation will have an opportunity to be part of a unique gathering of artists from Te Moana Nui a Kiwa so they can share artistry and skills. We hope this experience will also inspire future collaborations with colleagues from throughout the Pacific."
The Festival of Pacific Arts takes place every four years, bringing together more than 2,000 artists and other cultural practitioners from 27 Pacific nations. New Zealand has sent a delegation to every festival since 1972. Creative New Zealand will pay for delegates' travel, meals and per diems.
The 12th Festival of Pacific Arts will take place in Guam from 22 May to 4 June 2016. The festival's theme in 2016 is: What we Own, What we Have, What we Share, United Voices of the Pacific.
More details on the Aotearoa delegation to come late 2015/early 2016.
