ask me a question and i will video respond.
Yeah, that's me. We were at the exhibition for Scultura Lingua at the Marsèlleria Project Space, April 2011.
Questions for vintage pickers and retailers.
I've done the etsy thing and it was a lot of work - measuring, ironing photographing, researching your merch, branding, site-maintenance, shipping.
I've also sold to vintage retailers, and it's a hell of a lot easier, but usually you aren't making what the clothes are worth. This is not to discount the shopkeepers, because it is undoubtedly costly to rent a space, hire employees, and market your brand - among everything else that comes with running a store. It's hard work and I deeply admire you (also, please hire me. Or if you're looking for pickers, I'm you're gal).
So, what I'm wondering is, for those of you who've been in the business, what do you think is more conducive to raking it in? Don't fib to hoard the business; there's room for all of us. I LOVE my day job ("day" job, right, there's no 6:00 punch card in the art world), but want to take vintage selling more seriously in order to help me pay rent and, uh, buy a pair of Bleulab jeans. Or leather mustard driving gloves.
if you want to add to my (now defunct) etsy site, have at it. Thanks for all your help guys!

The Santa Ana
By Joan Didion
There is something uneasy in the Los Angeles air this afternoon, some unnatural stillness, some tension. What it means is that tonight a Santa Ana will begin to blow, a hot wind from the northeast whining down through the Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes, blowing up sand storms out along Route 66, drying the hills and the nerves to flash point. For a few days now we will see smoke back in the canyons, and hear sirens in the night. I have neither heard nor read that a Santa Ana is due, but I know it, and almost everyone I have seen today knows it too. We know it because we feel it. The baby frets. The maid sulks. I rekindle a waning argument with the telephone company, then cut my losses and lie down, given over to whatever it is in the air. To live with the Santa Ana is to accept, consciously or unconsciously, a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior.
I recall being told, when I first moved to Los Angeles and was living on an isolated beach, that the Indians would throw themselves into the sea when the bad wind blew. I could see why. The Pacific turned ominously glossy during a Santa Ana period, and one woke in the night troubled not only by the peacocks screaming in the olive trees but by the eerie absence of surf. The heat was surreal. The sky had a yellow cast, the kind of light sometimes called "earthquake weather." My only neighbor would not come out of her house for days, and there were no lights at night, and her husband roamed the place with a machete. One day he would tell me that he had heard a trespasser, the next a rattlesnake.
"On nights like that," Raymond Chandler once wrote about the Santa Ana, "every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen." That was the kind of wind it was. I did not know then that there was any basis for the effect it had on all of us, but it turns out to be another of those cases in which science bears out folk wisdom. The Santa Ana, which is named for one of the canyons it rushers through, is foehn wind, like the foehn of Austria and Switzerland and the hamsin of Israel. There are a number of persistent malevolent winds, perhaps the best know of which are the mistral of France and the Mediterranean sirocco, but a foehn wind has distinct characteristics: it occurs on the leeward slope of a mountain range and, although the air begins as a cold mass, it is warmed as it comes down the mountain and appears finally as a hot dry wind. Whenever and wherever foehn blows, doctors hear about headaches and nausea and allergies, about "nervousness," about "depression." In Los Angeles some teachers do not attempt to conduct formal classes during a Santa Ana, because the children become unmanageable. In Switzerland the suicide rate goes up during the foehn, and in the courts of some Swiss cantons the wind is considered a mitigating circumstance for crime. Surgeons are said to watch the wind, because blood does not clot normally during a foehn. A few years ago an Israeli physicist discovered that not only during such winds, but for the ten or twelve hours which precede them, the air carries an unusually high ratio of positive to negative ions. No one seems to know exactly why that should be; some talk about friction and others suggest solar disturbances. In any case the positive ions are there, and what an excess of positive ions does, in the simplest terms, is make people unhappy. One cannot get much more mechanistic than that.
Easterners commonly complain that there is no "weather" at all in Southern California, that the days and the seasons slip by relentlessly, numbingly bland. That is quite misleading. In fact the climate is characterized by infrequent but violent extremes: two periods of torrential subtropical rains which continue for weeks and wash out the hills and send subdivisions sliding toward the sea; about twenty scattered days a year of the Santa Ana, which, with its incendiary dryness, invariably means fire. At the first prediction of a Santa Ana, the Forest Service flies men and equipment from northern California into the southern forests, and the Los Angeles Fire Department cancels its ordinary non-firefighting routines. The Santa Ana caused Malibu to burn as it did in 1956, and Bel Air in 1961, and Santa Barbara in 1964. In the winter of 1966-67 eleven men were killed fighting a Santa Ana fire that spread through the San Gabriel Mountains.
Just to watch the front-page news out of Los Angeles during a Santa Ana is to get very close to what it is about the place. The longest single Santa Ana period in recent years was in 1957, and it lasted not the usual three or four days but fourteen days, from November 21 until December 4. On the first day 25,000 acres of the San Gabriel Mountains were burning, with gusts reaching 100 miles an hour. In town, the wind reached Force 12, or hurricane force, on the Beaufort Scale; oil derricks were toppled and people ordered off the downtown streets to avoid injury from flying objects. On November 22 the fire in the San Gabriels was out of control. On November 24 six people were killed in automobile accidents, and by the end of the week the Los Angeles Times was keeping a box score of traffic deaths. On November 26 a prominent Pasadena attorney, depressed about money, shot and killed his wife, their two sons and himself. On November 27 a South Gate divorcée, twenty-two, was murdered and thrown from a moving car. On November 30 the San Gabriel fire was still out of control, and the wind in town was blowing eighty miles an hour. On the first day of December four people died violently, and on the third the wind began to break.
It is hard for people who have not lived in Los Angeles to realize how radically the Santa Ana figures in the local imagination. The city burning is Los Angeles's deepest image of itself. Nathaniel West perceived that, in The Day of the Locust, and at the time of the 1965 Watts riots what struck the imagination most indelibly were the fires. For days one could drive the Harbor Freeway and see the city on fire, just as we had always known it would be in the end. Los Angeles weather is the weather of catastrophe, of apocalypse, and, just as the reliably long and bitter winters of New England determine the way life is lived there, so the violence and the unpredictability of the Santa Ana affect the entire quality of life in Los Angeles, accentuate its impermanence, its unreliability. The winds shows us how close to the edge we are.

Yes, Georgia Tech defeated Mississippi State 38-7 last season in a game that wasn't even that close, if that's possible.
But this year's version of MSU isn't the same as last year's.
This team has the ability to both run, and stop the run.
That's what people said about North Carolina before last week's game, as well.
But the difference is Mississippi State's proved that against teams that are actually decent, unlike the Tar Heels (with the exception of ECU).
The Bulldogs have held three of their past four opponents to 194, 157 and 263 yards. That includes LSU, now considered to be a top 5 team.
It doesn't include Auburn, which rolled up &^%$&^%^% yards.
What was that? What did you say?
Auburn rolled up….589 yards on 83 plays.
Does that mean anything for Tech's chances of leaving Starkville with a win?
Well, potentially, it could mean a lot.
The Tigers rushed for 390 yards with their version of the option.
But the Bulldogs seem to have gotten things fixed in time for last week's game against LSU. The Tigers could only muster 30 yards on 31 carries. That's the mostly same team that rushed for 161 yards against the Jackets in the Chick-fil-A Bowl last season.
Because of technical errors, which I think are mine (new computer, new programs we are using) there was supposed to be a quote from Dan Voss in the notebook in Wednesday's paper.
I asked him to talk about the routine of playing Saturday games, as compared to what Tech has been doing through the season's first four games.
To paraphrase, he doesn't mind a Thursday game or two, but enjoys Saturdays more for social and academic reasons. He said he likes to relax with friends and family on Sundays, something he couldn't do the weeks of Thursday games because the team was practicing then.
He also said it makes a big difference in the classroom. Saturday games mean he doesn't have to miss a lot of classes, nor does he have to miss review sessions, etc.

Tech will be fine against MSU. With the way they played this past Saturday and the fact that they had a fire burning in the gut to get that last touchdown and then hold UNC in the final minutes speaks volumes about the team's turn around in attitude. They are ready to take care of business now. Go Jackets!!
September 29th, 2009
11:00 pm
I think we will be ok. We excuted 50 times better against UNC than we had in any other game this season. Nesbit is still missing some reads on the option but for the most part looked vastly improved. He also looked better passing the football. Nesbit should have had even better numbers through the air as Anthony Allen missed what would have been a long strike for a touchdown, the throw was not perfect but it was a play that should have been made. Dwyer looked very good, still waiting on him to break a 50 or 60 yarder though. Those two 30 yarders were really nice though. The draw play that we added and the quick option to Dwyer was really nice. The defense was exceptional. MSU scares me a little, but I think if we execute and play like we are truly capable of playing it should be a good night hopefully setting the tone for the rest of the season.

Mississippi State is not as "good" as advertised. LSU just isn't as good as folks think they are. Mullen doesn't have what needs for the spread yet. And for some reason, I think Tech is now starting to cruise downhill. Tech 35, Miss. St. 14.

This is a trap game. Miss State coming off a high of almost beating the Tigers. MSU looking for revenge. MSU having a new coach who has them believing…and GT coming off a high against UNC then going on the road to a decent MSU team. I predict that GT gets beat. I'm only saying this out of pure educated notions and facts. This screams "trap" if I've never heard it before. I'm a GT fan thru and thru but also know my team's limitations and I'm starting to pick up on a pattern. Remember the UVA game last year? Same set up, but compounding the problem is going on the road. Go JACKETS…but don't be surprised if they lose this game. If it were scheduled differently, maybe I'd have a different opinion.
September 29th, 2009
11:57 pm
I've been trying to tell anyone who will listen the reason Tech lost to Miami so badly is because we were tired. Not only did they play 3 games in 13 days, but they also had class at Georgia Tech! I am a Tech alum (MGT '07), and I was also a member of the Tech Crew team. I know exactly what it's like; you practice for two plus hours a day, five days a week, with "voluntary" workouts in the mornings, three hour labs, and at least 12 hours of classes with mandatory reading and other work that takes at least the equivalent of class time. And that was for the easiest major Tech offers!
Getting on a regular schedule can only help keep the legs fresh, particularly for the defensive secondary. The less class time they miss, they more rested they are, the better they will play on Saturday. This Tech team has as much talent as any I've seen in the last 10 years. You can credit some of that to Gailey and Giff Smith's recruiting, but also to Johnson for teaching them how to perform at their best.
Each opponent, MSU included, should be taken seriously, and will be, with Johnson at the helm. There's no overlooking MSU. Last week's game was the first game we'd played on any decent amount of rest. Look for more of the same this Saturday.
What's the Good Word?
September 30th, 2009
12:01 am
Gee Tee, you make a great point there. However, I truly believe this is a totally different Tech team than what we have had in the past. If Chan Gailey was still coach I would say "yeah this is a loss" but I think Paul Johnson is much better at getting teams mentally prepared to play teams. At this point, I think that Miami taught us a very valuable lesson and I think that we are starting to realize the potential that we have. This could become a very special season as long as we approach every game as a do or die situation. We have a very small, if any margin for error and I think that Tech always plays better when backed into a corner. Again, very good points and Im not saying that this is a definite win for Tech but I really think we will be mentally and physically up to the challenge. GO JACKETS!!!
September 30th, 2009
12:11 am
Aha, good point. Not taking anything away from Miami, they kicked our a$$, but if we had of played a normal schedule to start the season rather than 3 games in 13 days it would have been a different game. Im not saying we would have won but it would not have been a beat down like it was. Miami is very fast and athletic but we proved last year that didnt matter. One game at a time. The jackets will be fine. It doesnt matter how many people claim they have figured out our "high school" offense, the defense still has to execute to stop it. We "figured out" UNC's "pro style" offense this past week, but do you hear anybody saying Butch Davis should switch to a spread offense or some type of gimmick offense? Dont think so, let all the haters say what they want to, we have an excellent coach, excellent system, and very good group of players. With those things in place the future is looking very bright in Atlanta. Go Jackets!!

The Yellow Jackets going on the road is not as concerning as it was under the prior coaching staff. Coach Paul Johnson is a great game coach, and the team is now back on a regular schedule after surviving the football triathlon in their first 3 games. Georgia Tech wins in a good contest against the SEC Western Division Bulldogs.
Go to http://isportsweb.com for more Georgia Tech articles and previews and reports of the games and team. Go Jackets!

Midnight rambler, I agree the officials could use a major overhaul. It is so disappointing to watch your team play so hard just to keep continuously getting jerked around by officials. That situation at the end of the half most certainly cost us points. We could have easily won that game by 30 points. There is no excuse for the poor officiating. That call of a completion by UNC down the sideline in the first half where the ball obviously hit the ground was obsurd as well, thanks to replay we got that one back though. If memory serves me corectly we also got hurt by a bogus pass interference call late in the game, I believe on the drive that UNC scored on. Something needs to be done, I have seen better officiating in the recreation leagues.

Gee Tee, Miss State is NOT coming off a high from beating LSU. If anything, getting to the one yard line and being unable to punch it in for the win is more debilitating than it it is encouraging. That said, this is still an extremely dangerous game, and we could easily lose it if we revert back to the team that played Miami, or even Clemson.

Ok,, So you beat Carolina? An ACC brother, Dudes you are playing an SEC team, Not the same SEC Team coached by Sylvester Croom, This team is a more motivated team and is hungry now. Trap game maybe, Because MSU wants to trap some of the OOC teams before they face the giants in Florida, Alabama and the likes, Look for an inspired team ready for the kill.. Dawgs by 10
September 30th, 2009
8:10 am
GeeTee…it is anything but a high for Miss St. If you read the coaches comments, he took nothing from that game vs LSU. No moral victory, disgusting defeat. Players were in the dumper. Don't see alot of positives out of that lose.
September 30th, 2009
8:11 am
Good points, but them stopping LSU and being able to stop the run has nothing to do with us. Miami could was good against the run last year. Techs run is totally different from other teams. LSU last year and Miami this year dominated a sleeping team. If we come out and execute and with some intensity on offense and defense we will take care of business. The problem will be us not them. If there is a problem. The viewing of this game is what sucks. I don't have comcast and I shouldn't have to pay extra or watch on my computer to see two local teams.
September 30th, 2009
8:15 am
Hmmm, Jim one day MSU is a floormat SEC team, the next they are a Powerhouse? You SEC folks are funny. I know exactly what you are going to say if we beat them, which is "You only beat one of our floormat SEC teams….ect, ect."
September 30th, 2009
8:25 am
The Mississippi State game is very similar to Miami in that Tech will be playing a team on the road that it whipped last year coming off an emotional ACC home game. Has Tech learned from the Miami game and will there be the intensity and desire needed to win? If this team played with intensity and desire they will win this game.

Wasn't Miss St. supposed to have a strong rush defense last year? Didn't they hold Auburn to like 50 yards rushing in a 3-2 game? Then this year the WarEagles run up nearly 600? I look for Tech to win big.
Of course, this is CFB. Who saw FSU losing to SF? So by doing some extrapolation, South Florida beats Okla. by 30?
September 30th, 2009
8:55 am
GT runs into a buzzsaw at night in Starkville. This is a no win situation for Tech. If you win, so what. They are the second worst team in the SEC. If you lose you lose to the second worst team in the SEC and the SEC vs ACC divide justs gets bigger and bigger and this blog will light up with delighted DAWG fans.
September 30th, 2009
8:57 am
The MSU game is NOT similar to the Miami game for one major reason – TALENT. Miami has it and MSU does not. Yes, there are a handful of good athletes on the MSU team but they lack depth across the board. Tech wins.

A little perspective here.
Ole Miss was ranked #4 in AP, before an UNRANKED USC team beat them. Ole Miss dropped AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way down to #21 in AP.
The "generic" conclusion that can be drawn is Ole Miss was WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY over-rated. Only Houstin Nutt himself is even MORE over-rated.
The ONE TEAM in the "CURRENT" AP Top 10 looking the DECIDEDLY MOST over-rated has to be #4 ranked LSU. By NO MEANS is this the LSU of 2003-2008. All of Saban's recruits are gone from LSU now, and it is showing. At this point, I actually expect u-gag to beat LSU on Saturday. Then, you're REALLY gonna see the heat turned up on Les Miles.
As ESPN noted in the LSU-MissSt game recap, LSU had 30 yds rushing on 31 carries, against the "88th-best" rush defense. Seriously, how can this LSU team be a "Top 4″ team? Not trying to slight MissSt, but we're not talking 30 yds rushing agaisnt Bama here. Auburn put 390 yds rushing on MissSt. So, the LSU-MissSt game looks more like an indictment of ust how bad LSU is, rather than how great MissSt is.
So, be forewarned, when u-gag beats LSU, all the mutt fans will be in here crowing…"we beat the #4 team. We're awesome. woo-hoo"…it will all be BS. How far down do you think LSU will fall? down to #15, #20 ?? Like I said, LSU is WAAAAYYYYY over-rated. If LSU actually beats u-gag, its gonna mean the mutts are WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY over-rated.
CPJ and Urban Meyer and Mullen are all actually good friends. It is well-known that CPJ, Meyers, and Mullen have had many discussions about CPJ's offense in the recent past. So, while I think Mullen will have a good game plan for GT, I dont think his defense will be able to execute well. Looking the other way, Mullen was the OC at Florida and knows how to run a good spread-offense and has proven he can score points.
Overalll, I think Mullen would want to use the passing game in the first half, and the run game in the second half. GT still has question marks in the pass D. While MissSt may score more points than UNC, UNC has a MUCH BETTER Defense, as does Clemson and Miami.
Overall, I still see GT with a comfortable win here, maybe 36-23.
September 30th, 2009
9:26 am
I am not convinced GT's youth and depth issues on the d-line have been solved. If the offense keeps the defense off the field like last week it will certainly help. But if Nesbitt and the gang have a few 3 & outs strung together the depth will hurt the defense.
September 30th, 2009
9:26 am
The loss to Miami was a blessing in disguise If I may say so. Tech was settling into
a mindset that a less than 100% effort was enough to win. Well that game certainly woke everyone up including us the fans. Tech needs to bring its "A" each and every week.If they do so It will win and win handily like they will this Saturday in Starksville. And we have to stop complaining about the referees, these calls will even out over the course of the year. Remember the call against Clemson which gave us the win, for example. I believe that from here in, Tech will be ready for each and every game, I'd like to see us ending up at 11-1 make that 12-1 including a BCS bowl win.

Enter your comments here
When you look at replays of Tech games notice how poorly our gaurds block, and how often their man is involved in the tackle. If we could get better blocking inside our option game would be unstoppable. If our blocking doesn't inprove not only will we struggle to win, but Nesbitt will eventually go down with an injury and we will be in a world of hurt.

GT will win – LSU is extremely overrated
1 loss #18 UGA being favored at home against a undefeated #4 LSU (who has played 2 SEC games) is proof of this fact

You will see how weak lswho really is when you compare their almost loss last week at miss st with the stomping that tech is going to do to miss st this week.

If Tech wins, the SEC loyalists will say it's because Missy State sucks. If Tech loses, the SEC loyalists will say that this is proof that the ACC sucks. And if Tech won every game left on their schedule and went 3-0 against the SEC, the SEC loyalists would blame the officiating.
There's remarkably little intelligent discourse here.
By the way, IMHO there is no such thing as a 'Trap Game' against an SEC team on the road. Everybody in the SEC can play.
September 30th, 2009
10:39 am
Tech is not in a position to take ANY team lightly. We're going into a hostile environment and I hope that we have our act together. Should be a good game! If this season has taught us anything; ANYTHING is possible! Tech holds onto the ball…we SHOULD be okay…if not, UH OH! GO TECH!!!
superDawg, we KNOW….you think the OTHER team will win. Of course, you'll be spelling TEK incorrectly. Truly, hurts our hearts.
September 30th, 2009
10:47 am
"m"….unless your 70 years old or so, how would you know how it feels to stomp the Dawgs? The real Dawgs that is. You call last season's come from behind win against an injury riddled team to win by 3 a "stomping"? Now on the other hand, I can tell you how it feels to squash Wreck. 51-7…now that's a stomping. Anyway, as far as this week….the Jackets should do well I think against Miss St. but I doubt they win. They will be looking ahead to the squashing they are going to get at Va Tech, who by my calculations is a good 70 or 80 points better than Yech. If you consider that Miami routed GT and VT made Miami look like the Mary Mother of Grace all Girl's Catholic School.
Miss St. 34 GT 27
VT 55 GT 3, Saint Simons hangs himself and the seat starts glowing a bright hot red for PJ.

Careful with all those wonderful predictions.I beleive everyone thought we would run all over Miami and look what happened.MSU should have beaten LSU.The coaches made a major error at the end of that game(the QB also screwed up).MSU is a solid team,plus they are not saddled with Sylvestor Croome this year.I think Tech wins but real close.

C'mon, being a fan does not require that your life revolve around what a bunch of 18-22 year olds do 12-14 Saturdays in a year and YOU have to go back and dissect it like it really matters in the scheme of your life!

Not a flame….honest opinion from a Dawg fan.
I think Tech beats Miss St. I just don't think Miss St. has the defense to defend against the TOA. I think they have improved, so I don't think it will be the blowout it was last season…GT 34 MSU 21
Now against VT in a couple weeks…..different story. They looked SCARY good against Miami.
UGA will beat LSU….Not convinced they are any better than when we hung 50 on them last season. Of course we don't have Moreno to run over them like last year so….UGA 27 LSU 20
Miami stuns OK…..45-24
Boston College ends the Bowden era….17-10
Auburn takes down UT….38-20

Wow… I somewhat agree with that "film" statement. Fans don't watch "game films", coaches do.

Starting immediately, cab companies in Metro Nashville will have to add GPS tracking devices to all of its cabs. Metro's Transportation Licensing Commission made the regulation Thursday. Cab companies must also be able to turn over information about cabs within 24 hours of the director of the MTLC making a request.If the cab company cannot provide information showing the location of a cab at any given time, the company and the driver could face commission sanctions including the loss of their licenses. The regulation is in response to the death of 32-year-old Livia Smith. Smith was found dead about a block from her east Nashville home in February.Witnesses report last seeing her getting into a Yellow Cab outside of 3 Crow Bar in the 5 Points neighborhood of east Nashville. Police have been unable to locate the cab or its driver despite a city regulation that requires cab drivers to record information about each passenger they transport on a manifest. "When the police came to us and asked for our assistance we went to the companies and started talking to them about what information they had," Interim Director of the MTLC Billy Fields said. "What we realized was the required manifest that tells us where people were is pretty easy not to fill out."He continued, "In this particular case with the GPS tracking its going to give us the ability to ask for a report on all those cars in service. We will be able to tell exactly where they were at any moment in time."Fields said the commission got little to no opposition from cab companies in Nashville. "They recognized that it was a need and it's a safety factor," he said. "Some of them already have GPS and others either have it or are in the process of getting it."One of those companies is Taxi USA which operates 205 cabs under the names Allied Cab, Nashville Cab and 1-800-TAXI-CAB.Cab drive Mike Kaiser is an independent owner operator working for Nashville Cab. He has a tablet in his cab which is linked to dispatch that tracks his location, direction of travel and speed. "It knows where I am at. I can't lie to it," he said. Kaiser said as an independent small business owner he wants everything possible done to protect his clients. "I think all cab drivers should be held accountable," he said. "They all should be able to explain where they were at any given time."The MTLC did not set a deadline for the cabs to add GPS devices to their fleet.The commission said the devices should be in place as soon as possible. Metro police continue to seek information about Smith's death. Anyone with information about Smith death or the whereabouts of the cab she got into on the morning of February 20 should call Metro police at 615-862-8600.

David Tandy
What role does a mayor have in setting education policy in Louisville? Councilman and Democratic primary mayoral candidate David Tandy is set to discuss his education policy at an event Monday night. Tandy's campaign says he will discuss the plan from 6pm-8pm with voters at the Newburg Community Center.
Jim King
Speaking of education, Democrat Jim King has racked up another union endorsement, this time from the Jefferson County Teachers Association. King is also endorsed by Dennis Horlander, Marianne Butler, Madonna Flood, Dave Stengel, Cyril Allgeier, Steve Magre, Bob Henderson, George Unseld, Dan Johnson, and various building trade unions.
News release
Today, the Jefferson County Teachers Association proudly endorsed Jim King for Mayor of Louisville. This comes as the fourth endorsement in two weeks for King for Mayor. The JCTA represents over 6,000 teachers, librarians, speech clinicians, physical therapists and occupational therapists in the Jefferson County school system.
"I am so grateful and honored that the JCTA has endorsed my candidacy for Mayor of Louisville," said Councilman Jim King. "JCTA has proven itself to be a progressive force in moving education forward in Louisville. My commitment is to always stand with our teachers, school workers and parents to better the lives of our children in Jefferson County."
Councilman King has had a 100% pro-labor record as Metro Councilman, standing with working families on issues like a living wage, fair labor standards and supporting apprenticeship programs. Additionally, he recently released "Ten Commitments to Louisville's Working Families" that provides workers with a written commitment that ensures their voice will be heard in city government.
"With five labor unions and several prominent elected officials now endorsing our campaign, it is clear that the momentum in this race has shifted toward Jim King," said Jonathan Hurst, Campaign Manager for Jim King for Mayor. "Voters are starting to see a clear choice for Mayor in the Democratic primary and we firmly believe that Jim King is that choice."
Councilman King has recently rolled out endorsements that include the Carpenters and Millwrights Union, the Asbestos and Insulators Union, the United Union of Roofers, the Sheet Metal Workers' and several key south-end elected officials including Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Stengel, former Mayor of Shively, Jim Jenkins, State Representative Dennis Horlander and Metro Council members George Unseld, Bob Henderson, Marianne Butler and Dan Johnson.

I had the pleasure of meeting Louie a few weeks ago and he's been my buddy ever since! Like most doodles, he loves his peeps and can usually be found curled up at our feet....or trying to be a lap dog (all 70 pounds of him!) but he's ready to play at every opportunity.

When Jeannine emailed me the other night to let me know we were getting a new dog in our program I must admit I didn't know what to picture when she told me he is a basset doodle. Well, I just want to go on record and say a basset doodle is one very cute doodle indeed!
Bogart (love that name!) is a 10 month old basset doodle weighing in at a mere 25 pounds – he'll likely weigh no more than 35 pounds when he reaches adulthood. He's a silly, playful, energetic and smart…Continue

When Lilly woke up on Saturday morning she didn't know it was going to be such a big day for her. You see, her family had relocated recently to a smaller home without a fenced yard and she was not a happy doodle girl. Her mom could see how sad Lilly was, not being able to play in a yard or just sit on the deck and watch the squirrels, so it was with sadness of her own that she contacted DRC to help find Lilly the perfect family to bring the sparkle back to Lilly's eyes.

Some of you may remember my foster, Lola (go ahead and break into song now….Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl…). In the spring she came to our house after being rescued by animal control from a home that wasn't feeding her well. She arrived weighing a paltry 37 pounds but full of energy and loving people. Lola was adopted by a terrific couple and has been doted on from the moment she arrived at their house. Her new dad is retired and the bond that developed between them was immediate…Continue
The match between Harvey and Shadow is working out very well. Shadow and Harvey are both high energy so they are having a blast playing fetch and tug of war together, I have to admit the tug of war is probably the funniest because Harvey is atleast 70lbs while Shadow is 25lb. Its a big mismatch but Shadow is relentless and waits for Harvey to regrip before tugging and running away with the rope. :0)
Thank you so much, Kim, for your reply. We did submit our app to DRC and received an auto-reply that it was successfully submitted. After that there was nothing. We are disappointed that you do not have it on file but will fill it out again tonight. We really do not want to miss the opportunity to adopt Grady in Indiana.
Thanks Kim! Yes, Enzo is just the most wonderful boy. We are so happy. I know my kitty girls will love him once Enzo learns that they are part of the pack and not toys!
Hi Kim! We submitted an application for Pixie the other day and I was wondering if you had a chance to go over it yet. I would love to know your thoughts! I have included some pictures on my page, perhaps it will give you an idea as to who we are and how much we miss having a doodle being a part of our family! We hope to hear from you soon :)
I just had someone ask me if they need to fill out a new application every time they see a doodle they are interested in. If your application isn't chosen for the 1st dog you apply for, are you still notified that you are approved or is it on a dog by dog basis?

Pentax K-01 review
Value & Verdict
Pentax K-01 review - ValueAvailable for £679 with a lens, the K-01 carries a similar asking price as the Olympus E-P3. The Olympus is as expensive as non-viewfinder Compact System Cameras come, so Pentax's mirrorless model is also a pricey purchase.
However, those with existing Pentax lenses needn't invest in a new lens system. All Pentax K lenses will work in conjunction with this camera, without the need for an adaptor. That's a potential cost saver right there. However, from our experience, we say they won't work as quietly, nor as proficiently as well as they will on a Pentax DSLR system.
Expensive it is, but it's the overall disappointing design and performance that don't give the K-01 that much to shout about. We'd much rather plump up an extra £150 to bag a better performing and better looking Pentax K-5.
Pentax K-01 review - Verdict
The Pentax K-01 isn't like anything else on the market. Its unusual exterior may appeal to design aficionados associated with the world of Marc Newson and other designers, but for most average camera users it's too bulky and, on account of its small grip alone, won't appeal to hardened photographers.
The use of the K-mount may appeal, particularly to existing Pentax users, yet it's hard to see what the K-01 offers that the far superior K-5 doesn't.
Image quality and the quirky Focus Peaking feature are the model's high point, though the lacklustre performance, again, is problematic.
Overall the K-01 feels like a bloated Compact System Camera without the associated size benefits of its competitors, or otherwise a lobotomised DSLR. It straddles the two categories but, and ultimately, fails to deliver anything new or innovative enough to inspire.

Archaeologists and anthropologists are in the business of solving mysteries. Like police detectives they're faced with the task of reconstructing what happened at a particular place, based on what was left behind. Sometimes even their methods are the same. In this instance, forensic anthropologist Robert Pickering and chemist Ephraim Cuevas used their knowledge of corpse-eating insects and the oxidation of metals by bacteria to assess the authenticity of 2,000 year-old ceramic figurines. Authentic figures are valuable to scientists as clues to an ancient people's way of life, and to collectors of antiquities as works of art. That combination has fueled a vigorous underground market in sophisticated forgeries. Pickering and Cuevas suggest a new way of identifying the real thing.

DJ AM and Travis Barker expected to make full recovery
A doctor has announced that Travis Barker and DJ AM are expected to have a full recovery after yesterday's horrific plane crash, reports TMZ. Dr. Fred Mullins, medical director of the Joseph M. Still Burn Center, said both Travis and Adam suffered second and third-degree burns. Mullins said Barker's torso and Adam's hands and part of his head were burned.
The crash killed four people, including Barker's assistant, Chris Baker. Yesterday, it was reported that Chris' wife was in labor, and the reason they took a private jet home in the first place was so that Chris could make it back in time for the birth of his second child. But a publicist for Travis Barker and DJ AM contacted TMZ and said those sources were incorrect -- that Chris Baker's wife was not in labor when he died in the plane crash and that was not the reason Travis and the others flew home on a private jet.
Barker was the former drummer for Blink 182. Barker's marriage to former Miss USA, Shanna Moakler, was the focus of MTV's "Meet the Barkers" reality show (2005-2006). They have two children. After filing for divorce in 2006, his brief relationship with socialite-reality TV star Paris Hilton was tabloid fodder. DJ AM also made it into the tabloids for once dating Nicole Richie.

(1) It needs to allow addition of more fields per template. I need about 15 for a bank record - it offers maximum of 11. (2) I need multiline text in some fields, like a bank address or details of debit card. Why does the carriage return key disappear when enter text?

App is good with desktop interface. But the only down side is max custom fields are just 10, that's not sufficient. I am just hearing from support that its on cards but since 1 year I hearing the same things. So now I am uninstalling it today.

Book Description:Love and espionage in 1970s Britain: a riveting new novel from the bestselling author of Atonement and Enduring Love
Serena Frome, the beautiful daughter of an Anglican bishop, has a brief affair with an older man during her final year at Cambridge, and finds herself being groomed for the intelligence services. The year is 1972. Britain, confronting economic disaster, is being torn apart by industrial unrest and terrorism and faces its fifth state of emergency. The Cold War has entered a moribund phase, but the fight goes on, especially in the cultural sphere.
Serena, a compulsive reader of novels, is sent on a 'secret mission' which brings her into the literary world of Tom Haley, a promising young writer. First she loves his stories, then she begins to love the man. Can she maintain the fiction of her undercover life? And who is inventing whom? To answer these questions, Serena must abandon the first rule of espionage - trust no one.
McEwan's mastery dazzles us in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal and intrigue, love, and the invented self.

Top image – Olivia Bell in Suite en Blanc (photo – Justin Smith). Bottom image – Rachel Rawlins and the cast of the Australian Ballet in Suite en Blanc (photo - Jim McFarlane)
It was AMAZING. Truly. I have never been to the ballet before (can you believe?)… but even knowing nothing about the intricacies of the choreography and history of the pieces performed, I was totally blown away.
Paris Match links two distinctly different performances. First, a mesmerising classical 'white ballet' entitled Suite en blanc. Think beautiful, jutting white tutus, traditional romantic themes, spirited, emotive performances… and of course, gravity-defying grace and movement.
After interval, the mood changed completely – Australian choreographer Stanton Welch's Divergence (1994) was sexy, provocative, at times humourous – and filled with electric energy. In stark contrast to the earlier piece, the dancers wore striking black costumes – including tutus recast in metal mesh (material usually reserved for air-conditioning ducts!) and breastplates structured from car upholstery! (Costumes designed by Vanessa Leyonhjelm). I wondered what the more old-fashioned audience members were thinking as the dancers punctuated the performance with the odd pelvic thrust or sassy shoulder twitch! Controversial!
PS) Did you know that the Australian Ballet has a fantastic behind-the-scenes blog? 'Behind Ballet' is a really well edited mix of news from the inner workings of Australian Ballet. For instance, after opening night last week, one of the principle dancers, Yosvani Ramos, blogged about his performance – even sharing his pre-show nerves and fear of ending up in the Orchestra pit!

@AB - great list. however I would personally switch the two bottom ones (not that it makes that big of a difference) In order for Necromatic Focus to beat Foul Gift of the Demon Lord, Foul Gift of the Demon Lord would have to not proc more than once every 58 seconds or so. But like I said....it's such a small difference....we'd be better off spending our time thinking up new ways to kill warlocks.

All councillors received this email a few moments ago from the housing lead at the Council.
I'd like to share as much as possible as it might save people money :-)
Dear councillors,
You have previously asked about and supported the collective fuel switch programme and i thought you may be interested in a quick update
Ichoosr have extended the deadline for those who have their own access to the internet and email to register and consider switching under the summer fuel switch scheme. Households in Walsall now have until 21st July 2014 to see what savings they can make on their home energy bills by registering at:
Average predicted savings for households in Walsall are £170 per household with the highest possible savings being shown for those currently with Dual-Fuel paper billing who decide to change to monthly direct debit of over £300.

The problem is enormous: 62 percent of property owners on the Texas coast are currently insured against storm damage by a high risk carrier that experts insist has no money to pay claims caused by a substantial storm.
With 15 days until hurricane season that means the protection people have paid for is simply not there.
Texas lawmakers have spent the entire session looking for a solution. Today Fox 26 has learned that the very last hope of a legislative rescue has met a bitter end.
"Our windstorm bill (SB 1700) we've been working on all session died uncerimoniously on the senate floor," said State Senator Larry Taylor.
The Friendswood republican claims a vote on his compromise measure designed to return the Texas Windstorm Association to financial viability was blocked by Democratic Senators at the sole direction of mega political donor and Houston lawyer Steve Mostyn.
Mostyn is reported to have reaped more than a $100 million in profit litigating Hurricane Ike claims, much of it from Texas Windstorm.
"So he's converted that into campaign contributions and he wields a pretty big stick among my Democratic colleagues here in the Senate," said Taylor.
Fox 26 made multiple attempts to reach Mostyn for comment, but those calls were not returned.
Meantime, with a rescue attempt by lawmakers now dead the state's insurance commissioner could declare Texas Windstorm bankrupt.
"I think it almost becomes her duty to put it in receivership if there's no hope of it becoming successfully capitalized and if there is no legislative solution," said Seth Chandler of the University of Houston Law Center.
Taylor says the crisis is so serious he's asking Governor Rick Perry for a special session during which Senate rules would not allow the Democratic minority to block a vote on a measure that matters so much to so many.
"Frankly, he's pretty fired up about it. I don't think that's going to be a hard sell for the governor," said Taylor.

How To Dress These Bare-Naked Bulbs?
Good Questions
Q: I'm living in a rental apartment with these great beamed ceilings, but whoever installed the lighting went bare minimum for the light bulbs. As it's a rental, I'm looking for a cheap (maybe even DIY?) solution that doesn't require me ripping out all of the pre-existing hardware. Help me clothe my bare naked bulbs!

First, make sure those CFLs are actually rated to be used in that kind of lighting. Secondly, check the manufacturer of the lighting and see whether there are coverings for them. This looks incomplete, not intentional. The manufacturer probably sells the covering separately.
You can get shrouded CFL bulbs - the spiral piece is inside a more traditional looking round, A shaped or spotlight shaped bulb covering. It helps with eyestrain and also makes the fixture look as intended. You can also get these in small torpedo shapes that would make the bulb more inconspicuous.
Hallogens usually have pin base - they wont work in this fixture it appears to accept a standard A bulb screw base. Hallogens also give off a bit of heat.
Congratulations on finding a place with such an interesting ceiling!
Drape sheer fabric between the beams. It will also soften up the ceiling space.
I'm not sure what's going on there. Are those track lights shooting upward?
If they are, it looks like the installer was going for an indirect lighting effect. The actaul effect, though is a bunch of wasted light going out your skylight!
Kudos to USERNAME26 and TSPINTERIORDESIGN for suggesting reflector CFLs, but that may make the situation worse unless you do it right. You want to redirect as much light downwards as possible.
It looks like those lights pivot, so I would use the suggested Halogen PAR or CFL reflector bulbs and redirect them to hit a light-colored surface like the solid part of the ceiling. It may sound counter-intuitive, but it will bounce nice, soft light back down.
I bet the half silver lightbulbs would look good there.
I would go for the Plumen bulbs. They're relatively inexpensive and the curves will be a nice foil for the strong diagonals you have there.
Misiformation! Firstly, there's no such thing as 'rated to work there'...CFL's are replacement bulbs and since they draw less power & create less heat, can never be a problem, unless fully enclosed. Second, there are all kinds of reflector halogen spots which have screw bases.
But my question would be: what's the problem if the lighting is OK? The bulbs are way overhead and I'm surprised OP is bothered. I do agree this is very inefficient since the bulbs point up. Half-silvered bulbs will direct more light down, but are expensive & incadescent. I'd turn the fixtures to point down if possible, and use 35w halogen floods ($5) which give lots of light but are not blinding. 17w CFL floods are equivalent, but in my experience take 1-2 mins. to reach full light level.
I would use a thin aluminum sheet, polish one side, and attach it to a translucent plastic sheet of the same size using chicago screws at the four corners. Use bare wire between the sheets, wrapped around the posts in parallel to bring them together creating a shape like () viewed from the end. From below it will look like a square.
Make sure the wire is pulled tight enough to give space around the bulb, and as long as they're angled upward there should be enough space for natural air movement for cooling.
To mount, I would use two wires on the lower two posts that squeeze the base. To put on or remove, push in the sides of the contraption, which will release tension on the wires.
Does that explain my idea well enough?
We have a very high open ceiling in our living/dining room and have similar lighting sitting on the rafters. I'm with username26 and think that the landlord or previous tenant cheaped out and replaced the original low voltage small-sized LED or CFL spotlights (which look perfectly fine bare considering the height) with the horrible spiral CFLs. I also think the lighting is meant to create ambience highlighting the magnificent open beams in your apartment so they should point up. Mine also point up or towards a nearby wall and are dimmable. When replacing the bulbs, take note of the max watt as this should be very low if, in fact, they are meant to be for ambience (as opposed to illuminating for reading, for example).

Oscar Night America
Oscar Night® America (ONA), the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' grassroots program that enables charities to host glamorous fund-raising parties, will kick off its 17th year in 2010.
On Sunday, March 7, 51 charities in as many locations will host official viewing parties during the 82nd Academy Awards® ceremony. The events will feature the live broadcast of the Awards presentation, which will be televised by the ABC Television Network.
"We created Oscar Night America to let people across the country participate in the excitement of the Academy Awards festivities," said Academy Executive Director Bruce Davis. "The fact that the viewing parties benefit local charities is an added bonus."
Most parties are black-tie affairs, though some are less formal. Some partygoers dress up as famous couples, and some events feature limousine arrivals and red carpets complete with local celebrities, paparazzi and press interviews for arriving guests.
To set these parties apart from the thousands of other events taking place on Oscar Night, each ONA party receives from the Academy copies of the official commemorative poster and the official Oscar show program among other items.
Only one charity party in a given market may participate in ONA. Events are entirely produced by local nonprofit organizations, with the active participation of the local ABC-TV affiliate station.
Last year, 52 charities hosted viewing parties for the 81st Academy Awards, raising over $3 million, all of it remaining in local communities. With close to 16,000 guests attending nationwide ONA 2009 benefited such charities as the American Diabetes Association, the American Red Cross, the Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics, the United Way, and the Ellie Fund for Breast Cancer Research.
2010 ONA Parties
Participating cities include Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte, Charlottesville, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Greensboro, Greenville, Hartford, Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Little Rock, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Orlando, Palm Beach, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Providence, Raleigh, Richmond, Sacramento, Saint Louis, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Springfield, MO, Tampa, Tuscon and Washington, DC.

WACO, Texas – With the NFL Combine wrapped up, scouts, coaches and general managers around the league are now turning their attention to college Pro Days to see how future draft picks measure out and test.
For athletes who'd like to have performed better at the Combine and for those who didn't go to the Combine at all, these individual Pro Days allow college standouts another opportunity to demonstrate what they can bring to the table for a professional club.
The DallasCowboys.com staff will travel around the Dallas area the next few weeks leading into the NFL Draft to see first-hand how some of the local athletes looked in person.
Today, Nick Eatman continued the Pro Day Tour at Baylor in Waco.
Top Picks: WR Terrance Williams, OL Ivory Wade, WR Lanear Sampson, RB Jared Salubi
Cowboys Representation: The Cowboys had two wide receivers coaches on hand, including newly-hired Derek Dooley, the former head coach at Tennessee. Offensive assistant Keith O'Quinn was also in attendance, along with college scout Sam Garza.
Big Issue: Needless to say, there wasn't the same buzz at this year's Pro Day in Waco as we saw last year. Maybe the lack of having a Robert Griffin III contributed to that, but as Baylor proved last year, it can be successful without RG3 although it took a little bit. Baylor struggled early in Big XII play and had a 4-5 record before reeling off four straight wins, including a dominant performance against Kansas State and a Holiday Bowl win over UCLA. The Bears got hot at the end of the season for a school-record third straight trip to a bowl game.
Another streak the Bears and head coach Art Briles are hoping for includes first-round draft picks. Last year, Griffin and wide receiver Kendall Wright were selected in the first round. In 2011, Phil Taylor went 21st to the Browns, followed by Danny Watkins (24th overall) to the Eagles. And in 2009, Baylor had the No. 2 overall pick in tackle Jason Smith, who went to the Rams.
So the Bears are no strangers to first-round picks and are hoping wide receiver Terrance Williams can continue the trend this April.
We've had some recent success and we just want to keep it going," Briles said Wednesday. "I think we've had some really good players in here the last few years and it's nice to see they're getting recognized. There's no question it helps us as a program when you get players drafted in the first round. And we're hoping Terrance will be the next one."
Who Stood Out: The guy who might have looked the best is the one who isn't even interested in the draft. But quarterback Nick Florence, who has decided not to pursue an NFL career despite breaking some of Griffin's single-season records last year and leading the nation in total offense, agreed to throw to the receivers in the workout drills. Other than one dropped pass, Florence completed every attempt and had some zip on the ball that raised a few eyebrows among the scouts and coaches in attendance. Still, after the workout, Florence stuck by his decision not to play.
But the guys catching the ball have every intention of taking it to the next level. Williams opted not to run the 40, standing by his hand-held times of 4.4 at the Combine. He was impressive on the field with his route-running and his ability to catch, snagging all of Florence's passes in his direction. Williams led the nation last year with 1,693 receiving yards and had 12 touchdowns.
His teammate, Lanear Sampson, helped his cause by running 4.35 in the 40, a big improvement from the Combine where he was in the 4.5 range. Sampson also had an impressive workout on the field with a one-handed catch and smooth route-running. His chances of improving from a possible rookie free agent to a late-round pick have increased.
Possible Cowboys Fits: If Williams falls out of the first round and into the second, the Cowboys would possibly be interested. Despite having
Sampson is also intriguing as a late-round pick and could give the Cowboys another look at the annual Dallas Day workout at Cowboys Stadium.
What They Said:
Sampson on improving his stock: "I felt like it was a great day. It was a better 40-time and that's a goal I accomplished today, but I wanted to run good routes and catch the ball. Overall, it's a good feeling. We'll see how it helps me in the future."
Williams on the process being over: "It doesn't mean I'm done working out. Tomorrow, I'll come here and get better and get ready for my private workouts. I want those to be perfect."
Briles on Sampson: "We've known that he's an outstanding player for us for four years. He's had more starts than any receiver we've ever had, with the exception of Kendall Wright. It wasn't unusual to see him do that well. But I was impressed with the way he came out and worked."

Littleton apartment complex asked to curb crime
Brien Ward, an attorney and former deputy prosecutor in Grafton County, met with selectmen in December and called for them to look into closing Parker Village and its 50 apartments, and relocating its 125 residents, including 65 children.
Another selectmen's meeting last month had to be moved to the Littleton Opera House when some 75 people showed up, many of them residents of the development just north of downtown on Route 116. They objected to Ward's call to have Parker Village declared a public nuisance.
After hearing both sides and studying the matter, the board has decided on measures that fall well short of a major relocation and closing the apartments.
"(The) Board believes that relocating the 50 families is an unnecessary response to what appears to be a somewhat elevated level of calls for police assistance over other multifamily housing communities in town," board members wrote to Ward.
The selectboard members - Chairman Michael Gilman, Marghie Seymour and Milt Bratz - said Town Manager Fred Moody and Police Chief Paul Smith have come up with a plan to boost communication between police and project administrators, including on-site manager Pauline DiNatale. There is also a plan to have the police department prepare weekly incident reports for Parker Village and a quarterly report that lists calls for service there.
"If multiple calls for service/incidents or arrests emanate from any one apartment or individual, the police department will contact the on-site manager so that corrective action can be taken," the selectmen wrote.
Parker's Village's "management team will exhibit due diligence in screening applicants (for housing), including criminal records checks," the selectmen said in their letter.
The development's managers will also be expected to consider erecting a barrier or fence between Parker's Village property and abutting residential properties and consider installing exterior video cameras in common areas open to the public.
"Parker's Village management team will in consultation with the Littleton Police Department, establish the following: A Neighborhood Watch Program, and designating the neighborhood (and other high occupancy multi-family developments) a Drug Free Zone in accordance with a proposed new ordinance," board members said in their letter
"While the Town recognizes these achievements may not entirely eliminate future calls for service by the Littleton Police Department, the department will, in conjunction with the Parker's Village Management Team, regularly evaluate these proactive measures and determine whether additional mitigation efforts are needed to maintain a safe and secure neighborhood for all Parker's Village residents and visitors," board members concluded.
The board said it would evaluate the results in six months, and again in a year.
Ward, who at the January public meeting noted that he did not repeat his call for closing the development, said he is satisfied with the town's plan, and is willing to see how it turns out.
DiNatale, the on-site manager, said Sunday she was relieved that the property would not be closed, and now considers Ward's complaint a "wake-up call" for tenants and administrators, including Paul Stewart.
Stewart's Bedford-based firm, Stewart Property Management, oversees the housing development. "Paul Stewart felt comfortable with it," DiNatale said of the proposal.
"The residents have to understand that their actions affect others, including other residents. Overall, this is good," she said.

Published 07 August 2012
A very special aircraft has flown for the first time; the only surviving pre-war Hawker Fury biplane fighter.
This Mk. I Fury, K-5674 manufacturer's serial number 41H/67550 (reg. G-CBZP) has been faithfully restored to flying condition by Retrotec Ltd. and the first flight quietly occurred on the 30th of July by Flt Lt Charlie Brown. It is Historic Aircraft Collection Ltd's policy, the owners, not to have any spectators at a first flight, to avoid added pressure on the pilot in an aircraft type with few flight guidelines surviving and even fewer surviving pilots who flew the Fury.
The remains of this rare aircraft were discovered on a farm in South Africa and acquired by Historic Aircraft Collection Ltd. in 1992, following information received from staff at the RAF Museum. After an 18-year restoration, the Hawker Fury was first shown to the public at IWM Duxford in 2011, but then taken to Goodwood to be put on display at the Revival meeting in September 2011, being entered into The Freddie March Spirit of Aviation Concours, where it won 1st place. Since then it has been at Goodwood Aerodrome awaiting the hard-won Permit to Test to be issued by the CAA.
Although the aircraft has been ready to fly for over a year, the increasingly stringent demands of the UK CAA have meant some extremely expensive technical investigations of considerable depth have had to be undertaken by an independent design engineer, even though the aircraft is as faithful a restoration as modern materials will allow. About 190 investigations in all, at an average cost of £2,000 each, meant an expensive and protracted exercise. Fortunately all Retrotec's design interpretations were found to be sound. Retrotec has M5 A8-20 CAA approvals.
The aircraft is presented in the paint scheme it was flown in when it was operational at nearby RAF Tangmere, as part of the famous 'Fighting Cocks', 43 Squadron. It was then the personal aircraft of Flying Officer F. Rosier, Officer Commanding 'B' Flight, later to become Air Chief Marshall Sir Frederick Rosier GCB, CBE, DSO. Today, his Son, David Rosier is present with his father's log books to see the 'Queen of the North and South' as his father named his Fury, take to the skies for another test flight - subject to serviceability and weather. Incidentally, HAC has found no evidence of this name being applied to the Fury – if anyone has a photograph showing this, HAC would be very pleased to see it.
Only two of the most elite squadrons were equipped with Furys, as they were tricky to fly and astonishingly fast - easily exceeding 200 mph in level flight but the aircraft were extremely expensive to build by the standards of the day – a fact that became obvious to Retrotec and the owners during the rebuild! The Fury very much mirrored the EuroFighter (Typhoon) of today.
Flying Officer Rosier first flew the Fury during December 1936 but had to relinquish the aircraft in February 1939, seeing the sad sight of the flamboyant paint scheme being replaced by drab wartime camouflage. It was eventually sent to South Africa in 1940, being taken on charge by 13 Squadron, based at Swartkop, but was damaged in a forced landing being subsequently struck off charge in March 1941.
The restoration of this beautiful pre-war fighter aircraft, undertaken by Retrotec Limited, of East Sussex, was the most challenging restoration the company has ever undertaken, due to the paucity of surviving information and parts, the complex nature of its construction and in re-engineering the exceedingly rare Rolls Royce Kestrel IIS engine. By an incredible co-incidence, Airfix have just announced a 1:48th plastic scale model kit of this very aircraft.
The Fury will be based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, in Hangar 3, alongside HAC's other aircraft. It is not certain when the first flying display will be, as it will be necessary to obtain the CAA Permit to Fly once the test flying is completed, the very changeable weather of this unusual British summer determining the time table.
