Gary Hume
Gary Hume extends the tenets of high Modernist painting by creating flat, decorative compositions with imagery drawn from everyday life. While the subjects of his paintings are recognizable and sometimes ordinary, they are presented schematically, in silhouette form and without detail. They are always enigmatic, entirely lacking narrative or sentiment.
Hume emerged with a generation of young British artists, many of whom studied at Goldsmith's College and were featured in Damien Hirst's legendary Freeze exhibition in the late 1980s. This three-part exhibition was held in an abandoned warehouse in South London, but gained immediate international attention and catapulted the careers of several artists, Hume prominent among them. His contribution to the exhibition was a series of monochromatic canvases painted with high gloss enamel, resembling the swinging doors found in municipal buildings and hospitals. The artist continued to develop the door motif paintings until 1993, when he abruptly changed his painting style. Throughout the 1990s, the artist painted compositions of multi-layered images drawn from British popular culture, everyday life, and nature.

[QUOTE=54e30;877106]I think you're onto something here! Tandem Dolly? Does the dolly have to license tags? Does it have brakes? 54e30[/QUOTE]
Yes -- it is a Tandem Tow HD XL. It is tagged with a permanent plate in AZ. For platting I can't speak for other states so you may want to check your home state requirements. It has hydraulic surge brakes but they also come with electric. Single bike hitches/lifts are easier but when you want to carry multiple bikes, ATVs, a UTV or golf cart and tow a car this set up can't be beat.

Today marks one week of my weight loss/lifestyle change adventure. I am currently down about 5.5 pounds, and I'm feelin' good.
Eating small meals every 3 hours or so really agrees with me. I HATE feeling hungry, it actually makes me angry. In the last year, I've noticed hypoglycemia becoming more of an issue if I don't eat somewhat regularly. So, this is perfect. It helps take the edge off of cutting calories, fo sho!
It's really nice to feel in control of my life again. I could get used to this.

I'm with Guido. What's with all the ****ing fuss over a Double BW Bench? Granted you have to be a strong mfer to pull it off, but a Triple BW Dead is insane. Think about it. How many AT LEAST 2 x BW benches do you see at competition? Now how many 3 x BW Deads do you see? I guarantee you the first number will be much much larger than the second. If you've got a 2 x BW Bench, I'm happy for you, but I don't find it nearly as impressive as something like Belial's sick ass 3 x BW pull.
480 was 3x bodyweight on dead for me, i've gotten 495 though so i'm at 3.09x bodyweight.
But chub the reason theres so many double bodyweight benchs in competitions is because of the bench shirts man. Without them there'd be far less then there are triple bodyweight deadlifts.
lol yeah a bunch of 110 lb physcos who CJ 350 and snatch 280 lol.
I give up.
Ahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahah ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahah ahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
Ahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahah ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahah ahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
most org. say you should only have a 1.5 times bw bench and a 2.5 squat and a 2.5 dl. So i would say that 2x bw bench and 3xbw sqaut would aslo go the same for dl 3xbw 150 my body ls would only be 450, im only a little less than 100lbs away from the now and only been deadlifting for 11 or 12 weeks. not that impressive to me, bench benching for a long ass time. Hell how many people can curl their body lbs. Im 8lbs away.
This has become quite the e-pissing contest.

This sounded like a good recipe but see the note about using an electric mixer - well it's true. These mashed potatoes were GLUEY!!! I've been making mashed potatoes for 40 years and haven't got a clue why this happened. I always use a mixer.Anyway, the texture took the pleasure out of any great flavor that these may have.
Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Buttermilk
Roasted garlic, tangy buttermilk, and chicken stock pack a lot of flavor into these low-fat mashed potatoes. Prep and Cook Time: 1 1/4 hours. Notes: Chicken demi-glace—a deep brown, glazelike, intensely flavored reduction of chicken stock—can be found at specialty markets. You can make your own by cooking 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup. You can keep the demi-glace, covered and chilled, for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 2 months.
Yield: Makes 12 servings

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
Thriftarians - BOY HAVE I MISSED YOU!!!! I am coming at you today from my desk in Colorado and I couldn't be more excited to be back online.
I can't even begin to explain to you the week I had. But I will say that it ended with 4 GLORIOUS days spend in Nashville, TN with my niece. She is home. She is getting healthier and healthier by the minute, and I promise you... She is the cutest, sweetest, most joyful little person I have EVER MET. I am so head over heels in love with Abiella it's not even funny. Her little teethy grin, her obsession with Beyonce and Sean McConnell music, her spurts of energy where she shows off all the muscle control she has gained over her legs... And her little giggle. I can't even write about the little giggle without full on weeping. She is a treasure, and I am so blessed to call her my niece. I will be SURE to put some pictures together to share with you.
Today I am sharing with you, two Thanksgiving day musts. The best appetizer and dessert that you will ever put in your mouth. Ever. Seriously.
If you want to make some friends this Thanksgiving... Shower, look people in the eye, give them a firm handshake, and bring these dishes to your dinner. BAM. You are a friend magnet.
**This recipe has been adapted from the squash fritter recipe originally featured on The Chew.
> 1 Medium Spaghetti Squash (cooked and shredded)
> 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
> 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg (grated)
> 1/2 tbsp chopped Fresh Sage plus whole leaves for garnish
> Scallion (green and white parts) thinly sliced on the bias
> 2 teaspoons Garlic (minced)
> 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground Pepper
> 4 oz Bleu Cheese (coarsely chopped or crumbled)
> Zest of 1 Orange
> 1 Large Egg
> 3 tablsepoons All-Purpose Flour
> Unilever's "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" Spread
These little things couldn't be easier to make, unless someone else just made them for you. Basically, you will start off by roasting the cleaned spaghetti squash in the oven at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes (or until tender enough to poke easily with a fork).
Once they are done, you are going to pull the meat out of the squash with a fork until you have a good amount of spaghetti squash strands.
Then, in a bowl, you will mix all of the ingredients together, except for the Unilever's "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spread. That is for the fake frying'.
Once you have incorporated all of the ingredients, you will want to coat the bottom of a cookie sheet with the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spread.
Form your mixture into little fritter cakes, and arrange on the cookie sheet. Pop them in for about 10 minutes or so.
Then, Take them out of the oven, and throw some more of that "I Can't Believe It's not Butter!" spread into a frying pan on med-high heat. Place each squash cake into the pan for about 1 minute on each side, to get a nice crispy brown outside, without actually having to deep fry them (save a few calories for that Thanksgiving cocktail
or three). Thanks "I Can't Believe It's not Butter!"
And now onto something completely different and equally SCRUMPTIOUS. The dessert...
That's right. A real. True. Prairie/Frontier style homemade pumpkin pie. Get your bonnets out ladies!
This is the real deal folks. If you like fake flavor, then stop reading here.
But don't. I mean, even if you prefer fake flavored things... 1. Who are you!? and 2. Just keep reading because... It's about to get really fun up in h'rrrrrrrr.
What you will need in order to join in on said fun...
Le Crust
> 2 1/2 cups of white whole wheat flour (this is truly whole wheat flour, it just looks white)
> 1/2 tsp sea salt
> 2/3 cup of Unilever's "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!"
> 1/4 - 1/2 cup of COLD water (don't skip the cold part)
Le Filling
> 2 cups of homemade mashed and cooked pie pumpkin
> 1 (12oz) can of evaporated milk
> 1 tbsp lemon zest
> 3 fresh eggs, beaten
> 1/2 tsp ground ginger
> 1/2 tsp cinnamon
> 1/2 tsp nutmeg
> Add in any other spices you have that scream ITS FALL!
> 1/2 cup pure organic brown sugar
> 1/2 cup pure organic cane sugar
First, you will want to prepare the pumpkin. So preheat your oven to 375 degrees and let that baby heat up.
Cut your pie pumpkin in half. AKA right down the middle. AKA separate it into two. Halves. Then, remove the seeds (save these for roasting, later). Next, stick the shell of the pumpkin a bunch of times with a fork, to make sure that the steam will be able to penetrate it all the way through, quickly. Leave the pumpkin (open side down) on a baking sheet, and place into the oven for about 40 minutes. Some people cover with foil. I didn't, and it all worked out just dandy.
Once the pumpkin is easy to stick with a fork (that is when you know it is done). Remove from the oven and let cool. Then scoop out the meat from the inside of the pumpkin and place to the side in a bowl.
Phew! Was that your first time? Me too. Exhilerating, eh?
Now we are onto the crust.
First, mix all of your dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. With a fork, start mixing in the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" in little pieces, until the mixture starts forming into small balls. It will still look pretty dry.
Then, start spooning in the cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, and continue mixing the dough up with your fork. Once the mixture looks just wet enough to be able to roll out into a crust, roll it up into a big ball and store in the refrigerator until you are ready for it.
Now you are ready to finish off your pie filling!!
In another mixing bowl, add all of your dry pie filling ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat your eggs together, and then incorporate into the dry ingredients, followed by the evaporated milk. And then... don't forget... YOUR KICK A** REAL PUMPKIN PUREE!
Bam! You have everything you need!
Sprinkle some flour on a cold smooth surface and roll your dough out into a large circle. Transfer it into your pie pan, and crimp the edges with a fork. Poke the bottom of your crust a couple of times with that VERY SAME FORK and then fill it with your pie filling. Honestly, you can use any fork.
Then... Voila! You have a delicious and as-nutricious-as-they-come homemade pumpkin pie from scratch.
I hope that you devour this sucker as fast as Burley and I did.
And now... I am signing off. Be back soon with some photos of my niece that will melt the heart of a thousand men.

May 09, 2013, 1:37 AM — The upcoming Firefox OS will appear on higher-end smartphones, and not just entry-level handsets, with Sony expected to release a premium device running the operating system, a Mozilla executive said.
"Sony is known for quality and user experience. So they are targeting for very very high (end). We are in joint discussions on the kind of device and what's the product," said Li Gong, Mozilla's senior vice president for mobile devices.
Mozilla's Firefox OS is among several fledgling mobile operating systems all vying for a presence in today's market dominated by Android and Apple's iOS. To start off, Firefox OS is targeting entry-level smartphone users and the first handsets will arrive in select markets in Europe and South America this July, Gong said in an interview Wednesday on the sidelines of the Global Mobile Internet Conference.
Mozilla, however, is in talks with additional vendors on developing higher-end phones using the OS, Gong said "The low-end entry point devices are good point to enter the market. But that doesn't mean we can't scale up or we don't want to scale. We do want to scale up," he said. "But an ecosystem takes some time to build."
Already, handset makers Sony, LG, ZTE, Huawei and Alcatel are working with Mozilla to develop phones running the Firefox OS. In addition, 18 telecom operators want to use the operating system, Gong said.
The initial industry support has Mozilla confident that its operating system can stand alongside Android and iOS as the third major operating system in the smartphone market.
"I can tell you there will be a third one (mobile OS) and it's going to be us." Gong said. "Why it's going to be us? It's because we are the only company that takes a pure approach. We are entirely open. Not only open source, but open process. No price, no nothing."
Google also markets Android as open source. But the behind-the-scenes development of the OS and its upcoming versions are still closed off to telecom operators and hardware manufacturers, according to Gong. These industry players can only make tweaks to Android once a new version is fully released.
"They may like it or not like it. But they have to take it," he said. "People like to see us because we are totally transparent. All the products, all the roadmaps, the delivery, feature sets, bugs, fixes, everything is open. Anybody can come in and see where it's headed."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"I loved that WPD was able to customized this card using the color I wanted. I was able to add a cute quote on the back and it was in postcard format, so it left 4 lines to write addresses. These are adorable and not expensive! Word to the next bride sending out save-the-dates, you don't need as many for as many guests as you have! If you have 150, you probably only need about half, assuming some people live together. So, my mistake was that I ended up with too many, but WPD is not at fault."
"The cards turned out better than I expected and they arrived nearly five days before I anticipated them to arrive. Customer service was extremely helpful as well."
"These save the dates are absolutely beautiful. The colors are vibrant, the picture quality is great with NO smudges and the paper had a nice thick quality to it. I would definitely recommend anyone to get this design. I can't wait to order the wedding invites with the same theme!"
"these save the dates are everything i dreamed of. they turned out wonderful and came earlier then the estimated delivery date"
"I was so pleased how our save the dates turned out! The quality of the paper is nice and thick which is great as these are traveling in the mail and all. I originally was nervous because the text I entered on the back of the card did not fit, but one of the designers addressed my concerns in the proofs and everything came out great! Many of my guests commented how they loved this idea!"

Fishing boats loaded with lobster traps head from Eastern Passage, N.S. on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 as the lobster season in southwestern Nova Scotia gets underway. There are about 17-hundred vessels licensed to fish lobster in an area that stretches from Digby County around to Halifax County. Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press
A prominent U.S. environmental group is targeting seafood imports from countries that don't follow American fishing standards — and Canada is on its hit list.
The criticism is in a report released Tuesday by the Natural Resources Defence Council, which is lobbying the U.S. administration to start enforcing a domestic law that bans imports from countries that fail to apply American sea-mammal protection rules.
The report comes as the U.S. weighs regulatory changes that could result in more stringent enforcement of an existing law governing U.S. fisheries imports. Since Canada is the second-largest fish exporter to the U.S. after China, with $2.5 billion worth shipped per year, any regulatory revamp could be felt across the border.
The document says 650,000 sea mammals are killed each year, while nearly all fish imported into the U.S. come from countries — including Canada — that fail to provide similar protections or don't meet American reporting guidelines.
The news release accompanying the report proclaimed a "marine mammal massacre," listing about a dozen foreign culprits in the unintentional maiming or killing of sea animals that get caught in fishing equipment — known as bycatch.
In Canada's case, the report says whales and harbour porpoises are dying because fisheries on the East Coast, notably those that produce crab and lobster, don't use the same catching techniques.
Nets that comply with law
The U.S. fishing industry was on hand at Tuesday's news conference, where Acy Cooper, a Louisiana shrimp fisherman, described how he spent $2,000 for nets that complied with the U.S. law and had been forced to surrender eight to 10 per cent of his catch to avoid harming sea mammals.
Foreign fishers should be playing by the same, costlier rules, said Cooper, who is also vice-president of the Louisiana Shrimpers Association.
"They can catch them for a lot cheaper, put 'em on our market, and drive our prices down," Cooper said. "That makes us go down, and our communities suffer because our prices are not up."
If the rest of the world isn't required to meet similar requirements, "then we're going to lose this industry," he added.
Cooper said his fellow fishers can be fined up to $10,000 for a first offence if their nets miss the allowed range by an angle of five degrees or more. They can lose their boats and be fined up to $50,000 for a second offence.
In an email Tuesday, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it is indeed in the process of revising rules so that they might more stringently apply domestic regulations.
The agency would not speculate on a time frame, but Zak Smith, a lawyer for the council and co-author of the report, expressed hope that new regulations might be imminent.
"We do know, just from talking to people, that they're in the works, that they're circulating within the government, and that we would hope for something in the first half of this year," Smith said.
Drop in bycatch
Any new regulations should force importers to prove, like U.S. companies are already required to do, that protective measures are being used and that they're being monitored for compliance with regulations, he added.
The report said the volume of mammal bycatch fell about 30 per cent — to 4,356 in 2006 — after the U.S. adopted domestic guidelines in the 1990s to enforce its Nixon-era Marine Mammal Protection Act.
But the provisions related to imports, which comprise more than 90 per cent of the fish consumed in the U.S., have never been respected.
In the case of one mammal, the endangered North American right whale, the report said interactions with fishing gear accounted for at least 1.8 whale deaths per year — a trend which would, it calculated, guarantee the species' extinction.
Harbour porpoises are dying in far greater overall numbers, with up to 2,900 snared by fishing equipment each year, and also face the risk of extinction.
Canada, meanwhile, is not playing its part, the report said.
"(In the U.S.), groundlines are required to sink during certain times and in certain areas to reduce large whale entanglement. Canadian fishers have no such requirements," it said.
"The (U.S. National Marine) Fisheries Service also requires lobstermen to use weak links designed to break free under the pressure exerted by a whale, a requirement not imposed on Canadian lobstermen."
The Natural Resources Defence Council is one of the more influential environmental NGOs in the U.S., with $182.8 million in net assets according to its latest available tax filing.
Later Tuesday, the Canadian government responded that it would seek to avoid "unnecessary and unjustified actions" against domestic fisheries.
It said it would continue to stress to American counterparts the measures taken to protect sea mammals. For instance, it said Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans participates in aerial surveys above spots known for right-whale concentration.
It said a hotline has been set up to report such whale sightings, and fish harvesters have agreed not to set gear in sensitive areas.
To boot, the seasonal dimension to the lobster fishery is key, it said.
"The Bay of Fundy lobster fishery takes place in the winter when right whales are typically not present, (but) the industry has developed a mitigation strategy to avoid interactions between right whales and lobster gear. DFO is a partner in this initiative," said an email from the department.
The email from Ottawa also touted the federal Species at Risk Act, which includes the right whale and restricts certain commercial fishing activities in order to protect it.
As part of that act, the Canadian government is working to develop additional protections with Canadian and U.S. researchers who comprise the Right Whale Recovery Network, said the email.

Anatomical Accessories: Heart-Shaped Jugs by Christian Vivanco
The words "heart-shaped accessories" tend to conjure up saccharine images of kitschy stuff one might pull out for Valentine's day and then stash for the rest of the year. But these heart-shaped jugs are more anatomically correct, and way more interesting.
This limited edition, grown-up spin on the heart-shaped jug is called Corazón Coraza and was created by designer Christian Vivanco in collaboration with Mexican ceramics manufacturer Ánfora. It's designed with a compact size to hold two glasses of liquid, and the heart-shaped anatomy provides a pretty perfect spout.
"Corazón Coraza's morphology is compact, intimate and highly symbolic, great to have at home or office," Vivanco said on the project's website. "Its shape integrates seamlessly functionality and a figurative aesthetic, representative of its inspiration."
The glazed ceramic jug debuted earlier this month as a limited edition product at the Zona Maco Art Fair.

Venus de Milo jugs!
The designer is apparently going to produce only 100 of these -- they're more an art concept than a functional item. Her website doesn't even hint at how much she expects people to pay. It's nice enough as something to look at, but in practical terms, think about how you are obliged to grasp this with the web of your hand instead of your fingers, and then think of how slick it would be with even a little bit of condensation. It seems like it's designed to be squeezed uncomfortably and go flying out of your grip. But the visuals are impressive -- she has really found that fine line where the shape looks like normal nonrepresentational earthenware yet still manages to remind us of the biology of a heart, without being kitschy.
Not a lot of tweaking is needed to make these easier to grasp: I'm thinking cord-wrap, rubber or silicone. How about something that looks like a bandaid. Think of the air of fine craftsmanship it might bring to a thoracic surgeon's office. Not kidding, these are cool.
I think I only like the white one. The other colors are too . . . literal, I guess.
They look more like headless, armless, legless people. If they weren't called 'heart shaped' I probably would not have made the connection. A stomach shaped watering can might be more graceful.

(Los Angeles Times) When the 9/11 Memorial Museum opens in mid-May, it will have shards of the fallen World Trade Center towers. It will have walls covered with portraits of the nearly 3,000 victims, and the watch worn by Todd Beamer when he declared, "Let's roll," and helped launch an attack on the Flight 93 hijackers.
It will have a burned-out ambulance that raced to save people, and helmets of firefighters who battled dust and flames to reach those trapped in the ruins.
It will also have a $24 admission fee, which directors say is needed to maintain the site, a cost that critics say undercuts the idea of ensuring that all the world can visit and learn from the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001.

Whats new in Baltimore? Keeping the book stacks from falling over? I have not been very current in updating my stuff, but reading Wildlife by Richard Ford. Great read though his wonderful use of minimalist prose. I think you would like it. He comes to Denver on the 30th on his book signing tour for his new 'Canada' novel. Will be there. Driving up to Steamboat Springs this weekend for a soccer tournament. Should be nice. Great weather here. ~S

He mentions The Flute of The Gods (1909) by Marah Ellis Ryan. Wikipedia states she lived with the Hopi near the turn of the century and claimed to be the only white woman ever admitted to the secret religious rites. She was noted as an authority on the tribal life of the Indians in the United States and Mexico. It too is free on Google books with illustrations by Edward Curtis. Got to read that one as well. :)

Good to hear from you. Reading has been kind of all over the place. Enjoying my iRiver HD Story Google Reader. Lots of really good old stuff in the public domain in Google Books. Currently reading a travelogue written by a British Army Officer, William Francis Butler, born 1838. Along with fighting in the Zulu war in Africa, he explored much of the interior of Canada which he describes in The Great Lone Land and The Wild North Land. I also picked out an old Steinbeck paperback in my collection the other night of In Dubious Battle. Enjoying that one a lot. I just bought an old copy of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer including a old copy of Tropic of Capricorn. His name keeps popping up up in other books so time to check him out. (like Jim Harrison's A Farmers Daughter - good novella)
How about you? What far-off adventure are you on right now?

Ah, Nabokov. Your adding the good stuff! ;) Do we really have to toil away today for our rich employers? I'd rather be lost among the common folk on some distant shore, eyes wide open, surrendering to chance.
Anderson's memoir was great! 4 1/2 stars. Will re-read that one again.

Your memoir does sound like a keeper. I too am reading a memoir of Sherwood Anderson. So much of life to learn from him! Similarities to the early years of Thomas Wolfe. The insatiable hunger to put down on paper all of life's relationships and experiences -getting at the core of man's yearnings and desires. He too was a huge reader, soaking up all of the classics and novels of the day. However, he forsake his first wife and kids to his own selfish desires to be alone, immersed in his books and navigating his 'artistic/bohemian' life. He eventually walked out on them altogether. Sad.
My office moved downtown so now I take the light-rail. Therefore, I have 30 minutes each way to lose myself in books. :)

You just added the first photography book I purchased back in the early 80's. I worked part-time doing black and white printing for a color portrait studio owner in the mid-west during college. It was more of a break from business school than real work. Good book. I don't think I ever logged it in here.

I have not begun reading Russo yet. Still sitting on the shelf. I recognized the author on the last one you reviewed. Kunstler. He was on a program the other night with some other brainy men talking about our next foreseeable global/catastrophic crisis. He spoke about diminishing oil and our ability not to be able to switch gears fast enough to alternative energy resources. I dothink production has peaked and we are now on a path to witness the shrinking of the global supply. Not a bright future for our kids.

Summer going well -take away the heat. Over 75 and I begin to sweat. Must be the Norwegian in my blood. I think I'd be in Canada if I was not tied down. How are you managing? Your heat is near records, I hear. At least we get frequent reprieves from being at a mile in the sky. Reading Mosher and Annick Smith. Mosher the better writer obviously, but both are good. From your review, hard to believe an editor at Harper Collins could let Pilgrim Snail get out the door. Perhaps they are just another corporate enterprise, having undergone cost cutting, bare-bones staff, etc., while pushing insipid editing work out to the masses?

Hey Carrie,
I missed Frank Howard Mosher booksigning this week in Denver. Other appointments. I see you have almost all of them. Never-the-less, I got a signed copy of Walking to Gatlinburg from The Tattered Cover, just not signed to me. Did he come to Baltimore? Right now reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Never got to it in high school. My profile page needs some updating.

What the Arab World Produces
At least since the early part of the 20th century, aside from oil, the Arab world has produced and exported two products. It has produced essentially no technology, medicine or anything else in the world of science. It has almost no contributions to world literature, art or to intellectual development. According to the most recent United Nations Arab Human Development Reports (2003-2005), written by Arab intellectuals, Greece, with a population of 11 million, annually translates five times more books from English than the entire Arab world, population 370 million. Nor is this a new...

UK operator British International has been asked to take over the helicopter service between the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo. The original service by Malta Air Charter, which used two Bulgarian-registered Mil Mi-8s, closed down late last year after Malta's May 1 entry into the European Union brought aircraft certification and operation under the new European Aviation Safety Agency.
Spanish operator Helisureste has inaugurated a replacement service between the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo, using a Bell 412. An earlier operation using two Bulgarian-registered Mi-8s closed last year after the islands' entry into the European Union brought them under new EASA rules.
Sierra Aviation, an FBO and charter/management firm based in Portomaso, Malta, now has a marketing and sales office in Geldermalsen, the Netherlands.
The relaunched helicopter service between the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo carried more than 500 passengers in its first month of operation.
Helisureste from Spain officially took the reins from Malta Aircharter in March.
The company's EASA-compliant Bell 412 can carry 13 passengers on as many as nine flights per day.
Helisureste also offers scheduled services, flying from Malaga to the Spanish territory of Ceuta, on the North African coast, and from Malta to its Mediterranean island neighbor of Gozo. On the former run it has recently introduced a new AW139, which offers two more passenger seats and shaves 10 minutes off the flying time of its predecessor, a Bell 412.

ZERO VISIBILITY (4.5) by Sharon Dunn: Classmates Merci Carson and Lorelei Frank are held at gunpoint after their car breaks down during a snowstorm. EMT Nathan McCormick rescues them and takes them to his mountain cabin, and it becomes apparent that Merci is the target. The danger builds as the snow increases and temperatures decrease. Is Lorelei involved? Will they be able to get off the mountain safely? Merci's kindness challenges Nathan's guarded heart, bringing his protective instincts forward and making him start to hope for the future — a hope that's instrumental to their survival.

Due to a lingering foot injury, St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman Allen Craig will be left off the team's National League Championship Series roster.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny told reporters today at his press conference that it was doubtful Craig would be on the NLCS roster, a personal goal Craig had set for himself in his recovery as the Cardinals pursue the organization's 12th World Series title.
Cardinals' rookie Matt Adams has picked up the slack left in the lineup by Craig's absence, going 6-for-19 in the NLDS series win over the Pirates, including a double and a clutch, two-run home run in the deciding Game 5 at Busch Stadium Wednesday night.
This season, Craig was amongst the candidates for National League MVP, along with teammate Matt Carpenter, hitting .306 with 13 home runs and 97 RBIs in 134 games. He was named to the National League All-Star team for his exploits and his contributions are a major reason why St. Louis captured the National League Central crown in 2013.
Adams deserves his share of credit, as well, as he hit .284 with 17 homers and 51 RBIs in 108 games for St. Louis. On several occasions, Adams provided a clutch power bat off the bench for Matheny and since Craig's injury, he has brought his big bat to the lineup on a regular basis.
The Cardinals will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, which begins Friday night in St. Louis at 8:30 p.m. ET.

TEAMS: San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks
SAN JOSE -- The Sharks' revamped penalty kill was put to a stern test on Sunday night and passed with flying colors. San Jose killed all seven Vancouver power plays and got a nightly goal from Patrick Marleau en route to a 4-1 victory at HP Pavilion. The Sharks extended their franchise-best start to 5-0 in the process. The Sharks took advantage of Vancouver's slow start to grab a 2-0 lead less than four minutes after the opening faceoff. Joe Thornton scored his third goal of the season after pickup on a poor clearing attempt by Vancouver defenseman Jason Garrison and beating Canucks goalie Cory Schneider just 43 seconds into the game with the teams skating four aside. Alex Edler's attempted clear landed right on the stick of Joe Pavelski, who ripped a forehand from the slot off of Schneider's glove for a 2-0 lead at 3:26. The Canucks cut the deficit in half when Alex Burrow's drive from the right side was first stopped by Antti Niemi, but slipped past t...

Good Questions: Entryway in the Way
I live in an apartment where the front door is in the wrong place. It's across the apartment from my coat closet and right in the middle of my living room and dining room. It doesn't leave room for even a small dining table unless you leave people sitting right in front of the main entrance.

There's no space for bike helmets, dog leashes, etc. How can I make it so that people sitting at the table feel less like they're in the main entry and people walking in the door feel less cramped?
9 Comments
maybe put two tall and skinny shelves flanking the small window (shallow shelves, too, as that only looks like 10" b/w the big window and wall). glass shelves, etc. put nice things on it, but leave some w/ baskets for 'entry way' stuff. if not two skinny shelves, maybe ikea configurations where it's a buffet with two tall skinny stacking shelves on either side (so, a "U" shape piece). pull the table out a bit so it's not really cramped. also, think of a long and narrower table to make it feel larger? OR, if that's a "pull up" bar there, w/ stools up against it, consider buying a console table or not-so-deep storage piece right there, under the countertop that hangs over. one that has storage underneath, and again: baskets to hide entryway stuff.
I would like to see more views of the space. I like kdka's idea but I might carry it a step further by taking the door off the coat closet and transforming it into an "armoire" with dishes, glass display shelves, or perhaps liquor and barware storage in the upper half with a small chest or cabinet in the lower section to hold the helmets and dog leashes. Then follow through w/ kdka's ideas but include some hooks for a few coats. With no door on the coat closet, the table can be much closer to the passthrough giving you much more room.
Does the table need to be away from the wall? You could gain more separation from the front door if the table was against the wall with the window and chairs placed on each end and opposite side. Hang a curtain from the ceiling so that the door is blocked from view when you are at the table. The curtain can be tied back and held with a nice hook on the wall with the tiny window. This will help create a serene dining alcove.
Get a small sidecart/console that would go under the tiny window, some nice shades or curtains for the big window, fresh flowers on the table and the whole dining area will be very inviting.
I love the tiny window. You should play it up more with some colorful or interesting vase/curios.
If money is no object, switch out the track lighting for a chandelier or pendants and add an area rug.
Unfortunately, that's not the coat closet. That's my front door. The closet is beyond the kitchen behind the camera area. It's just a really strange floor plan. The table can't come closer to the wall due to wall clearance but 2 of the seats are smack in the path of the front door. It also can't come closer to the kitchen because it's in a small alcove (see how the wall jogs before the kitchen). It's all a very tight squeeze.
I cross posted with the last poster but that's an interesting idea. The table would partially block the large window though and I know some people manage to pull that off but when I see furniture up against a window it just bugs me.
It's funny about the lights, I had a pendant lamp hanging there (one of those track to pendant conversions) and at first I liked it but I switched it out last week. Maybe I just need to find the right pendant. Thanks for suggestions on the small window, both a little something under it and more display in front of it sound like good ideas.
Could you change your front door to either a set of french doors or perhaps a sliding door with the track outside the house? You could hang a pretty curtain/tapestry on the inside of the french door so it would feel more like a wall and less like and entry, and that would make walking in less cramped as the door won't be in the way as much.
Alternatively (and cheaper!) you could re-hang the door so that it opens outwards instead of inwards into the apartment, but i'm not sure if security would be an issue as it might feel a bit too 'open'.
Also love the nook! If it gets natural light it would be nice to put a pretty plant there. Greenery is always good!
after reading your response, i think your best bet is to get a more space-saving dining room table. if that area is pulling double duty, get pieces that do, too: a credenza or shelving that doubles as a landing site/curio display/dining and helmet storage; a dining room table on casters that can slide up against the wall, or one that is 1/2 the size but folds out to accomodate more people. if on average you don't use the dining room very often, or don't have many people at once, consider a small round table and two really interesting chairs. that would leave room for a storage piece as well.
i like the idea of a curtain that seperates dining room from doorway. a fluid halfwall right there would be great visually, but then you're a bit more married to the configuration.
another idea: put a bench (with storage underneath) against the small window wall. turn the table lengthwise against it, add a few chairs across from the bench. this way, it frees up space at the kitchen end, and under the bench is storage for the entryway.
anywayz, i like throwing out ideas. hope it's not overkill.
How about building a cushioned banquette (with hinged top for storage) along the wall with the large window? Perhaps it could wrap around either side wall. A narrow, longer table could be pushed up to the banquette when not in use.
It might be a close fit, but what if you rotated the table 90 degrees- would the table still fit? Then the chairs wouldn't be in the path of the door.
Is the floor near the door a doormat or a cutout of the carpet? Part of what is making the dining room seem more in the pathway of the door is the large floor cutout/mat. If it is a mat, I would try cutting it to an arc near the dining room side.
does need some sort of separation- not very modern looking, but what about a curtain attached to the ceiling and swept back at the door? It never has to come down (since it might be in the way, but it would give the feel...)
Can you clear out half of the bookshelf showing on the right, to put the dogleashes and bike helmet? I suppose in boxes or baskets if it looks sloppy.
I just noticed that the door and its floor look rather industrial (not in a good way) which is probably clashing with your desired decorating style. I am not sure if there is a way to change that or disguise that?

I'd like to share with you a passion of mine—Alfred Hitchcock movies! I think the first one I ever watched was Rear Window. I was in college and a girlfriend and I went to see it on what must have been dollar movie night. In case you're one of those who have not seen the movie, I won't give the plot away, but you need to know that the villain of the piece is Lars Thorwald.

In our survey of classic scary movies, we've covered the Universal monster movies, Hammer Horror, and the films of Vincent Price. But we'd be remiss to neglect classic films that fall outside these easily defined categories. Let's take a look at some of these films.
November 13th at 6:30 p.m., we will be showing The Avengers. Come join us! We'll be providing plenty of snacks/popcorn and drinks.
The Tivoli is one of Kansas City's little wonders, a cozy theater where you can see foreign and independent films, films you might not even hear about otherwise. It's nestled in Westport, which transforms from a popular Saturday drinking spot to a lively place of arts and culture, seemingly overnight. I've long wanted to pay the Tivoli a visit, but just got around to it this past weekend. It seems I've been missing out!

It's Christmas time! Faith, family, and fun are all different aspects that people enjoy around the holiday season. Although December 9, 1965 isn't written about in any history books; it's a date most people will appreciate. It's the first time that the beloved Charles M. Schultz classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas, was aired on CBS! It now airs regularly on ABC since it acquired the rights from CBS. It has claimed both an Emmy Award and Peabody Award.

Mgoblog friends, I'm losing faith in rich rod. This team is NOT improving week to week. Wisconsin took its foot off the gas or the score woulve been much worse. I think it's the worst game we've played. How can that be in game 11? I need a pep talk
|3 years 49 weeks ago
|couple things
are bugging me about Sat.'s game. Well, a lot more than a couple but i'll limit it to two for now: One, why did Richrod go away from the running game? It was working! on our opening possession we drove down to what, the 20? then a pass and the pick. Why? why not run it with Denard and the running backs. That's what got us in the redzone in the first place. Two, a rule in college football i'd like to see changed: Sparty has a third and 10 and we stop them. But they false start and get another shot at it because we can't decline the penalty and have it be 4th and 10 instead of 3rd and 15? And lo and behold first down! There's more, lots more...

But i don't think the defense is THAT bad. I'd like to see more sacks, but they're forcing turnovers, and for the most part stopping people. They had some bad plays agains UMass, but looking at all three games i don't think it's the complete disaster many have portrayed.

i'd like to point out, the first of which i haven't really seen said yet: One, for a season opener, this team was one of the best prepared i've seen. Ever. A rock solid performance, and then some. for the first game of the year, impressive. Two, if this game doesn't convince the Rodriguez detractors that the team is on the right track, nothing will and they're idiots. Not on this blog, really, but on others. Go blue.

I sort of feel sorry for the moron. I know people at the Freep, and have friends in the sports talk radio community, and he's basically known around the office and the radio circuit as an idiot. Recently on a Sat. night i was having beers with some of his colleagues and his name came up and everybody just moaned and rolled their eyes. He probably knows this and that's why he's so bitter. Poor dude has really become useless.

Dick Lugar's long tenure in the Senate will soon end, and John Kerry isn't happy about it.
Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, among the longest-serving Republicans in U.S. Senate history, on Tuesday lost his reelection primary to tea-party-backed state Treasurer Richard Mourdock. With Lugar's exit in January, the Senate will lose one of its few remaining members with a habit of working across the aisle.
Sen. Kerry, D-Mass., has worked with Lugar on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, currently as its Democratic chairman while Lugar served as its ranking member. Lugar is a well-established Republican voice on foreign policy, having coauthored the seminal Nunn-Lugar nuclear nonproliferation legislation.
Kerry lamented Lugar's defeat in a lengthy statement released to press Tuesday night.
This is a tragedy for the Senate and the loss is particularly felt by all of us who have been privileged to serve with Dick on the Foreign Relations Committee," Kerry said. "It's a blow to the institution during a period when the institution itself has been strained. Whether he was serving as Chairman or Ranking Member of our Committee, wielding the gavel or working the floor, Dick's approach to governing was always the same: he wanted to find serious answers to some of foreign policy's most vexing questions. He's a class act and a gentleman and in a Senate that has seen so much change and transition these last years, his expertise on complicated issues honed over 36 years simply can't be replicated. …
Dick's Nunn-Lugar efforts have become almost shorthand for bi-partisanship in foreign policy, and they should be recognized. But for me, on a personal level, two other efforts stand out as epitomizing who Dick is and why he'll be missed. For me, it started with the work we did together in the 1980′s to help bring about free and fair elections in the Philippines. …
It will soon almost sound cliched to say that America is safer today because of Dick Lugar's 36 years of service in the Senate, but it really does bear repeating. His record on our Committee will long be remembered in the same context as another chairman, William Fulbright of Arkansas, whose Senate service also ended in a difficult primary defeat, but who is remembered today not for one loss, but for a legacy of following the facts and speaking the truth despite the political risks. This is a tough period in American politics, but I'd like to think that we'll again see a United States Senate where Dick Lugar's brand of thoughtful, mature, and bi-partisan work is respected and rewarded. That kind of seriousness of purpose should never go out of fashion.

A lawyer promising to rescue homeowners on the brink of foreclosure is now charged with stealing their money instead.
"Right now, we're waiting for a knock on the door from the sheriff's office to tell us to get out of the house," said fraud victim Jeff Lyon.
He and his family are hoping to hold on to their home after getting duped in a bankruptcy scam.
"When the economy took a dump on everybody, we fell behind on our mortgage. I was also hurt at work. I was in a coma for a month and a half. When I got out of the hospital, we were too far behind and the bank wouldn't work with us anymore," Lyon said.
He turned to Philip Igoe, an attorney who worked with clients facing foreclosure. Igoe offered to help by filing for bankruptcy protection or a loan modification. But first, his team would need an up-front fee - usually about $500.
"They were also asking the victims to pay the mortgages to the attorneys and he would forward the money to the mortgage company," said US Postal Inspector Brett Leonard.
But Igoe never forwarded the money to the mortgage company. He kept it for himself.
"How do you go to your kids and tell them you have to move out of the house you grew up in because I lost it," Lyon said.
Postal inspectors say 15 people were caught in Igoe's scheme and there were hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.
"This was a very specific scam; I would suggest consumers seeking doctors or lawyers look at the regulatory websites to see if there have been any prior disciplinary actions to the people they are seeking business from," Leonard said.
Lyon had this advice: "Don't trust anybody. Get everything on paper. Everything. Double check everything they are doing."
If you think an individual or company is running a mortgage foreclosure scam, contact your local office of the United States Trustee. The United States Trustee is a justice department official who monitors the bankruptcy system.

There's a new sheriff in town, but the new law enforcement leader for Catawba County is no stranger.
Republican Coy Reid received almost 74 percent of the general election vote Tuesday to defeat Democratic challenger Doris Kirby. According to unofficial results from Catawba County Board of Elections, the sheriff's department long-time chief deputy received 30,636 votes, compared to Kirby's 10,365 votes.
Three women's basketball teams representing the Greater Hickory Metro competed in the state Senior Games during the weekend. They played a combined 11 games Friday and Saturday at East Carolina University's student activity center, and they combined for zero wins.
The team wants that to change next year.
"We're hoping some time in the future, whether it is next year or the next year, ultimately we want to win a game," said Jesse McCarther, head coach of the three teams from the Unifour Red Foxes.
Zahra Baker was reported missing almost one month ago, but the search for her whereabouts hasn't slowed.
Investigators continue to follow leads, process information and conduct interviews in the hope of locating the 10-year-old girl, who is presumed dead.
HPD Maj. Clyde Deal said Tuesday officials are processing evidence collected during recent searches, but police have yet to receive any results from the lab.
Alyce Augusta Valdes Berasa, 71, of Newton, passed away peacefully at Palliative CareCenter and Hospice House of Catawba Valley in Newton. Visit www.catawbamemorialpark.com to register your condolences online.
Ellen Phillips, 57, of Conover, died Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010, at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Drum Funeral Home and Cremation in Conover.
Newton-Conover started the season with a loss to third-ranked Shelby. That loss turned into seven straight losses and eventually into losing its first 11 of 14. But that losing turned into winning late in the 2010 season and eventually led to a playoff berth in the 2-A West.
The Red Devils finished fifth in the Catawba Valley 2-A Athletic Conference with a 7-6-1 conference record, and they captured the conference's last playoff spot.
Police confirmed Monday that the prosthetic leg found in Caldwell County belonged to a disabled child now missing for more than three weeks.
Hickory Police Department said in a press release they confirmed the prosthesis match using serial numbers on the leg.
Ten-year-old Zahra Baker lost her lower left leg to bone cancer. Zahra's hearing was also damaged during cancer treatment, forcing her to wear hearing aids.
To get a wireless computer lab up and running, Balls Creek Elementary students are doing some running of their own.
Students, faculty and volunteers raced around the school track Monday to raise money for a new computer lab in the school.
The project, called Laps 4 Labs, is designed to involve students in the computer lab fundraising process, while keeping them physically fit at the same time.
Students and members of the school's Parent-Teacher Organization were asked to find area businesses willing to donate to the school's goal of $10,000.
Brightly colored fall foliage is everywhere in Catawba County, but someone must clean up the leaves once they fall to the ground. Area municipalities offer leaf collection for residents, and each area's collection schedules, requirements and services are different.
The city offers curbside loose-leaf collection for residents. This year's collection routes, however, are different than previous years.

Nate Johnson made a transition from the beginning of the season to now. Johnson, a senior running back at Maiden, was used primarily for his speed at the beginning of the season compared to quarterback Matt Johnson's power.
That role changed as the season went on, and it showed Friday night at Maiden against the Bunker Hill Bears.
"At first, I was just a speed back when they needed to use me in the backfield," Nate Johnson said. "Over the weeks and weeks, I've been more of the power back running the football more as we are getting ready for the playoffs."

text: Out 4th return visit. 2 weeks at Prince of Caunos has come to represent the classic summer holiday for our children and us.
