How to Ride a Motorcycle in 20 (very wet) Hours
By Cheryl Senter
While most of the state was trying to stay dry two weekends ago, ten people were dreaming of warm, sunny days and open roads.
In the driving rain that weekend, those brave individuals spent 14 hours in the Tri-town Ice Arena Parking lot in Hooksett.
They were taking the State's Basic Rider, 20 hour, motorcycle training course.
Freelance Producer Cheryl Senter was also there and she sent us this audio postcard.

- Alison Bechdel
Alison Bechdel
Alison Bechdel is an American cartoonist best known for her long-running comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For and her graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.
Bechdel was born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania to Roman Catholic parents who owned and operated a funeral home in addition to working as teachers. In 1981, she graduated from Oberlin College and moved to New York City. She applied to many art schools but was rejected and worked in a number of office jobs in the publishing industry.
According to The Indelible Alison Bechdel, she began Dykes to Watch Out For as a single drawing labeled "Marianne, dissatisfied with the morning brew: Dykes to Watch Out For, plate no. 27". In the first years, Dykes to Watch Out For consisted of unconnected strips without a regular cast or serialized storyline. Bechdel introduced her regular characters, Mo and her friends, in 1987 while living in St. Paul, Minnesota. She became a full-time cartoonist in 1990 and later moved near Burlington, Vermont.
Bechdel married her partner since 1992, Amy Rubin, in a San Francisco civil ceremony in 2004. However, all same-sex marriage licenses given by the city at that time were subsequently voided by the California Supreme Court. Bechdel and Rubin separated in 2006.
In 2006, Bechdel published Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, an autobiographical "tragicomic" chronicling her childhood and the years before and after her father&apo;s death. Fun Home has received more widespread mainstream attention than Bechdel's earlier work, with reviews in Entertainment Weekly, People, and several features in The New York Times. The work was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award, in the memoir/autobiography category and won the 2007 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic also garnered nominations for Best Graphic Album and Best Writer/Artist.
Born: 09/10/1960

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Methadone (Dolophine) is a synthetic opioid, a compound that is structurally unrelated to the natural opiates but is capable of binding to opioid receptors. These receptor interactions create many of the same effects seen with natural opiates, including analgesia and sedation. However, methadone does not produce feelings of euphoria and has substantially fewer withdrawal symptoms than opiates such as heroin.(1) Methadone is used clinically to relieve pain, to treat opioid abstinence syndrome, and to treat heroin addiction in the attempt to wean patients from illicit drug use.
Metabolism of methadone to inactive forms is the main form of elimination. Oral delivery of methadone makes it subject to first-pass metabolism by the liver and creates interindividual variability in its bioavailability, which ranges from 80% to 95%. The most important enzymes in methadone metabolism are CYP3A4 and CYP2B6.(1-4) CYP2D6 appears to have a minor role, and CYP1A2 may possibly be involved.(1-5) Methadone is metabolized to a variety of metabolites, the primary metabolite is 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP).(1-4) The efficiency of this process is prone to wide inter- and intraindividual variability, due both to inherent differences in enzymatic activity as well as enzyme induction or inhibition by numerous drugs. Excretion of methadone and its metabolites (including EDDP) occurs primarily through the kidneys.(1,4)
Patients who are taking methadone for therapeutic purposes excrete both parent methadone and EDDP in their urine. Clinically, it is important to measure levels of both methadone and EDDP. Methadone levels in urine vary widely depending on factors such as dose, metabolism, and urine pH.(5) EDDP levels, in contrast, are relatively unaffected by the influence of pH and are, therefore, preferable for assessing compliance with therapy.(5)
Some patients undergoing treatment with methadone have attempted to pass compliance testing by adding a portion of the supplied methadone to the urine.(7) This is commonly referred to as "spiking.'' In these situations the specimen will contain large amounts of methadone and no or very small amounts of EDDP.(7) The absence of EDDP in the presence of methadone in urine strongly suggests adulteration of the urine specimen by direct addition of methadone to the specimen.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Positives are reported with a quantitative GC-MS result.
Cutoff concentrations:
<300 ng/mL
<100 ng/mL
<100 ng/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The absolute concentration of methadone and its metabolites found in patient urine specimen can be highly variable and do not correlate with dose. However, the medical literature and our experience show that patients who are known to be compliant with their methadone therapy have ratios of 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP):methadone of >0.60.(6)
An EDDP:methadone ratio <0.090 strongly suggests manipulation of the urine specimen by direct addition of methadone to the specimen.(7)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Urine pH has a considerable effect on the ability to detect methadone, thus 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine is preferable for urine measurements.
Urine concentrations of methadone show very poor correlation to serum levels or the amount of drug administered.

Biotechnology Industry Organization Says Farm Bill Should Include Energy Programs
Group thanked senators for introducing a bill that would extend the '08 Farm Bill's energy programs
The energy programs authorized in 2002 and extended in the 2008 Farm Bill provide important new markets for agricultural producers and should be a fundamental part of any new Farm Bill.
The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today thanked Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) and Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) for recognizing the importance of including an energy title in the Rural Economic Farm and Ranch Sustainability and Hunger (REFRESH) Act of 2011.

Recommend a read
If you've discovered a read that you think works for less confident readers and should be on Find a Read, please do let us know about it!
What types of text are you looking for?
We are looking for any text that has a readability level from Pre-Entry to Level 2 (see below). Such texts tend to use simpler vocabulary and sentences.
It can be in any format as we encourage all types of reading - printed book, ebook, game, large print, newspapers and magazines, websites and even audio!
We like to add reading material that:
- is aimed at adults, as beginner readers are not beginner thinkers!
- has an attractive cover
- is not too long (max 200 pages if a book)
- is well laid out with a clear, legible typeface (ideally minimum 12 point)
- has short chapters, paragraphs (not more than ten lines) and sentences (average 15 words) and a simple structure
- has a strong hook to engage the reader if fiction and high interest (eg well-known author, TV tie-in, popular hobby) if non-fiction
- is text for readers, not text for learners (i.e. the focus is on reading rather than comprehension exercises).
If you're not sure whether what you want to recommend is suitable, please just send in the details anyway and we will check.
How do I recommend a read?
First search on Find a Read to make sure that the item hasn't already been submitted.
Next get together the following information: title, author, publisher, ISBN, what format it is (audio, book etc.) and a short description. But don't worry if you don't have all the details, the main information we need is the title and author or publisher.
Do a SMOG readability test on the text - this is essential as we're looking for titles that have a readability level of below 14. Find out how to do a SMOG test below.
We also ask for your name and email address so we can get in touch with you if we have any queries about the item you are submitting.
Now you can submit your read.
Once you've submitted your title, the Find a Read team checks to see if it is ok to go on to the website.
If you have any questions about recommending a read please do contact us.
How to do a SMOG test
SMOG is a Simple Measure of Gobbledygook and a formula you can use to judge the readability of a piece of text. All readability tests rely on a very rough gauge of the level of reading vocabulary people can expect to acquire by a certain point in their development - they stop generally around the 20 mark.
To calculate the SMOG level of a text:
- Select a section of text (e.g. page of a book, website page etc.)
- Count 10 sentences
- Count the number of words which have three or more syllables
- Multiply this by 3
- Circle the number below closest to your answer (see table, top row)
- Find the square root of the number you circled (see table, bottom row)
- Add 8 = readability level
Number | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 | 25 | 36 | 49 | 64 | 81 | 100 | 121 | 144 | 169 | |||||||||||||
Square route | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
Most people will understand a readability level under about 10.
To get an average SMOG score for a text it's best to pick three sections at the beginning, middle and end (where possible). This is because readability levels can vary throughout a text.
There is no simple way of relating readability levels to adult literacy levels as they don't equate exactly. It would be impossible to produce materials that solely met the standard definitions at each level. We never take SMOG as the only indicator for the suitability of a text. However, as a rough indication, the equivalences are:
- No text ~ Pre-Entry
- SMOG 8 ~ Entry Level 1-2
- SMOG 9-10 ~ Entry Level 3
- SMOG 11-12 ~ Level 1
- SMOG 13-14 ~ Level 2
Once you have carried out the SMOG test you can submit your read.

NEW DELHI: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have moved the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal ( TDSAT) against the DoT's decision to increase the licence fee from Re 1 per annum to 6% of their annual adjusted gross revenue. In its order, the petition alleged, the authority not only increased the licence fee but also changed the definition of adjusted gross revenue.
In the revised adjusted gross revenue, DoT has included the revenue from the internet services also. Earlier, the ISPs were liable to pay a licence fees of 6% of their revenue from internet telephony. The petition says that DoT has approved the decision under the garb of stopping revenue leakages.

(Soft-shelled crabs are crabs harvested at a particular time — after they have molted and shed a too-small shell, but before they've had a chance to grow a new one. Fishermen catch 'em along the Atlantic — Maryland soft-shells are particularly famous — but they're also traditionally caught along the Gulf of Mexico, and we're keeping our crab-pickin' fingers crossed.)
Meanwhile, The Palm is doing its annual summer salute to tasty crustaceans with a tougher shell. The Lobster Dinner for Two deal includes a 4-pound jumbo Nova Scotia lobster, split for two, along with the choice of a mixed green salad or Caesar salad and side dish for $89.95 per couple. Diners may select 5-pound or 6-pound lobsters for an additional $12.50 per pound.
I've spent a little time in Maine, including the 90-minute tour and lecture at the Maine Lobster Museum in Bar Harbor. (You weren't allowed to breeze in and out. You had to walk the grounds with an escort and hear a lecture on the vicissitudes of lobstering for a living. But I did get to see newly hatched lobsters too tiny even for Barbie's dinner plate.) The lore I always heard was that 2 pounds is the ideal size for eating. Nonetheless, some luxe restaurants specialize in jumbo lobster giants. The Palm, credited with inventing the surf-and-turf, is one of them.Bites readers, how do you like your soft-shells?
Cooked on the grill? Deep-fried in a po' boy? Rolled up as sushi?
And does anybody have an opinion on whether (and how) size matters when it comes to lobsters?
Finally, on a note of cross-cultural awe: Did you know soft-shell-crab-flavored Pringles are a big hit in Asia?

Yesterday I got a couple of the brand new nail polishes from Max Factor to try out - they are called Glossfinity and promise glossy nails for up to 7 days.
Max Factor Glossfinity Nail Polish |
I am already a fan of the Max Factor Max Effect nails polishes but was told I'd love these even more as you get a perfect glossy coverage in just one quick coat. Fabulous! So I couldn't wait to try and here is my one quick coat of Max Factor Glossfinity in Burgundy Crush 155.
Max Factor Glossfinity in Burgundy Crush 155 |
This is one fast coat with no top coat, as I thought I'd see how glossy it was on its own. Very impressed.
As you'll probably notice these photos were taken with instagram as I was too excited to photograph them properly last night. So here's is a photo taken this morning in the classic hand-grasping-bottle pose:
Max Factor Glossfinity in Burgundy Crush 155 |
I am really pleased. Remember this is one quick coat with no top coat, so it took about a minute (as you can probably guess with the messy work!).
I am desperately resisting the urge to slap a top coat on. I ALWAYS wear top coat because I don't know many polishes that last half a minute without one!! But for the purposes of this little trial, I am going to see how I get on without.
I am expecting a bit of chipping because I am really clumsy and I wash up a lot (glam) but let's just see. I am on day 2 already!
Max Factor Glossfinity Nail Polish |
There are 26 shades in total divided into collections: Orient Express, Dark Romance, Punk Pinks and Wear it Bare.
Burgundy Crush sits within the Dark Romance Collection.
Max Factor Glossfinity Nail Polish will be available from December 2012 and costs £5.99. I'd keep a look out in November too as they often bring the launches forward.

When I open a note that contains a lot of text, the page always opens in the middle or the bottom of the block of text.
It makes no difference whether I am viewing the note in the right-hand pane next to the list of notes, or whether I have double-clicked to display the note full-screen.
This only happens when there is more text than can be displayed in the full height of the screen. My notes with only small amounts of text are displayed correctly, with the text starting from the top of the window.
I have tried scrolling back to the tops of the notes before closing them, but that does not make any difference, they still open lower down next time.
My preference is to have notes always opening from the top, the same as Word documents do. Is there any solution to what to me is a nuisance?
Thanks in advance.

Ryne Sandberg said the news on Cody Overbeck isn't as bad as it might have looked when he pulled into second base with a limp last night after his eighth-inning double. "It's more a muscle spasm or cramp than anything,' the IronPigs manager said before Wednesdays game. "He's out of the lineup as a precation tonight, so we'll check it out tomorrow and go from there." The IronPigs did not take batting practice on the field but Overbeck did take a regular turn in the indoor cage. He did not appear to be favoring his leg. "He did everything so that's a good sign," Sandberg said. Kevin Frandsen makes his fourth start at first base tonight and his 54th straigth start overall. He has appeared in 65 straight games. --- Without Overbeck's eight home runs, tonight's IronPigs lineup has hit a combined 10 home runs this seaosn, including four by John Suomi and three by Tuffy Gosewisch. Tonight's lineup: Kyle Hudson, cf; Kevin Frandsen, 1b; Pete Orr, 2b; John Suomi, dh; Michael Spidale, lf; Steve Susdorf, rf; Michael Martinez, ss; Tuffy Gosewisch, c; Tug Hulett, 3b; Scott Elarton, rhp. For perhaps the first time this season the 36-year-old Elarton won't be the oldest player on the field. Scranton starter Nelson Figueroa, an ex-IronPig, turned 38 on May 18. Figueroa is 5-2 with a is 3.90 ERA. --- Sandberg's full roster lasted lasted less than 24 hours. Catcherr Bob Stumpo, who arrived with Jeremy Barnes from Single-A Tuesday to fill out the roster, was sent to Reading Wednesday after the R-Phils back-up catcher, Steven Lerud, "tweaked" something in his elbow during a mop-up relief performance. "It lasted one day," Sandberg said with a smile of his full roster. --- in honor of the July 4 holiday, the IronPigs are wearing camo jerseys tonight that will be raffled off to benefit Keystone Wounded Warriors. And for perhaps the first time in professional sports history, the pregame music in a clubhouse consisted of patriotic music such as John Phillips Sousa marches, Whitney Houston's rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, and a version of God Bless America. Also hanging from the drop ceiling in the clubhouse was an American flag. When asked whose idea the music selection was, Frandsen just asked, 'You're an American, aren't you?" Categories:

text: I really feel like it was a combo of guilt and threats of teams moving to the trop. I think the rays could build an affordable stadium they built the nationals park for 611 million and the trop cost 231 million in 2012 dollars, I think they would either do a fixed dome again but with no catwalks or they would do an open air with a larger overhang then most stadiums. The owners already showed and open air concept in downtown st. pete, so it could happen. Finally Other sports in Tampa started with TV such as hockey and they still get good attendance. I just hope we can get a stadium in Tampa to show people we will come.

The usual rightwingnuts have nothing new to add other than pining for the good-ole-days of the Bush administration, when we "talked tough" about the "war on terror" and invaded countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 and expanded the domestic surveillance state and opened up a gulag that made us the joke of the rest of the First World.
Thanks, but no thanks; I don't want to go back to the days when we had Cheney acting as an evil Paul Winchell to Bush's "Knucklehead."

This week's market sentiment report: http://seekingalpha.co...
-Bill L. -
If you believe your Govt/Fed Stats I believe you may be in big trouble. Fact is (check WSJ article earlier this week), of the 19 quarters since Obama has been in office, take a guess how many Fed ESTIMATES of GDP growth were OVERSTATED vs UNDERSTATED. As Max Smart would say (but this time would be true), "would you believe" 16 out of 19? That's right, almost 85% of the time, our ineffectual govt guessed wrong and had to revise growth downward. Its getting worse with last quarters estimate off by over 1%.
You have to ask yourself, logically, since this is just an innocent coincidence, why would the Fed be doing this? Of course, the answer is to boost investor confidence in equities/overall economy. This also helped Obama get in office, an example of unintended consequences.
Now, if this same govt is proved to cook the books, what are they saying above inflation? I think we know the answer and its not a good sign for things to come, like drastically rising interest rates to stop inflation in a recessionary environment. Think Jimmy Carter. -

This was well worth the money. We have two boys ages 5 and 7 and they loved Omar the sea lion. He played soccer with them, gave high 5's and hugs. They are still talking about this visit. It is just your group with the trainer and the sea lion. We would do this again!

text: Oct. 6 MICHIGAN: Child's death won't stop Detroit's violence Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers got it right last week when she roundly decried the murder of a 4-month-old child hit by a bullet as he slept in an apartment on the city's northwest side. "We go about our business in Detroit as if we are immune to the killing of our children," Conyers said. "2 teenagers were gunned down last week, now a 4-month-old baby is murdered while asleep. If we are not mad as hell about this we have lost our humanity." Bravo. But typical of Conyers' volatility and penchant for speaking before thinking, she went too far with her call for a crusade against violence. "I believe we need the death penalty for anyone that kills a child in Michigan," Conyers sputtered. Whoa. The death penalty? Not only is that a wholly ineffective cure for what ails Detroit (states that execute prisoners are no less violent, and are in many cases even more violent, than states that don't) but it's also indulgence of a morally repugnant act the State of Michigan has resisted for more than a century. It's not an answer anyone else ought even to consider. Conyers' outburst about executions reflects a stunning lack of understanding of the practical implications of capital punishment, and the trend away from eye-for-an-eye justice that is sweeping other states. The pace of executions nationally has been slowed in recent years by the confounding legal problems raised by capital punishment. It's terribly expensive to carry out. Doing it with any conscience requires a level of certainty -- about guilt, fairness of application, the quality of legal counsel, freedom from racial bias, lack of cruelty in execution procedures, and a host of other factors -- that most states are finding more and more cumbersome. Most recently, the district attorney in Dallas, Texas, the jurisdiction with the most death row inmates whose cases have been overturned by DNA evidence, called for a halt to executions until he can review all the cases from his office. Meanwhile, violence in places like Texas -- or Florida, Alabama, Virginia or other states prolific at execution -- is at least as harrowing as it is in Detroit or Michigan. Kids get killed. So do other innocents. And a sense of hopelessness about what to do about it grips many communities. Those troubles have roots deep in other aspects of society, ones that require long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. Murders will end when killers don't want to solve their problems that way. They'll end when a life is more valuable than a bag of crack rocks, a car, gun or some imagined element of "disrespect." The death penalty won't accomplish any of that. The problem in Detroit is that life is cheap. But the death penalty would only reinforce that message. Conyers should have known better. (source: Opinion, Detroit Free Press) GEORGIA: US Supreme Court denies death row inmate new hearing The US Supreme Court refused Monday to hear arguments in the case of an African-American granted an 11th hour stay of execution for the murder of a white police officer. The execution of Troy Davis, 39, who has spent 17 years on death row in Georgia, was dramatically halted 2 hours before he was due to die late last month amid growing doubts about his conviction. Defense lawyers had asked the Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of executing a person when there is new, substantial evidence to show he was not guilty of the crime. Seven out of nine witnesses who gave evidence at Davis' trial have recanted or changed their testimony that he murdered policeman, Mark MacPhail. The witnesses said statements implicating Davis had been coerced by strongarm police tactics, challenging the backbone of the prosecution's case in the absence of any weapon, fingerprints and DNA linking him to the murder. Davis had originally been sentenced to die in July last year, but he was granted a last-minute stay of execution then by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole. Earlier in September, however, the parole board issued a decision denying Davis clemency which was confirmed by the Georgia supreme court. International figures including former US president Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu of South Africa and Pope Benedict XVI have spoken out against Davis' execution. In a statement Carter said last month: "Executing Troy Davis without a real examination of potentially exonerating evidence risks taking the life of an innocent man and would be a grave miscarriage of justice." The case has also been taken up by Amnesty International and a group known as Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (GFADP). The group's chairwoman Sarah Totonchi said on September 23: "Certainly we know that across the spectrum in the death penalty when the defendant is black and the victim is white, the likelihood of the death penalty being imposed is much greater. "When the person is a white cop, the defendant has almost no chance." But the mother of the policeman slain in a car park in Savannah, Georgia in 1989 told the Atlanta Constitution-Journal in late September that she was "disgusted" by the outpouring of support for Davis. "I hope this is over Tuesday and I can have some peace," 74-year-old Anneliese MacPhail told the paper, adding she had no doubt Davis was guilty. (source: Agence France-Presse) ******************** Federal agent talked about Nichols 90 minutes before being killed----Friend said Wilhelm was armed, only concerned if Nichols 'got the drop' on him About an hour and a half before he was shot and killed by Brian Nichols, U.S. Customs agent David Wilhelm talked on the phone with another federal agent about the killer fugitive on the loose in Atlanta and told the agent he had his gun with him and wasn't worried unless Nichols "got the drop" on him. It was shortly before 9 p.m. and Agent Ryan Spradlin was calling from New Orleans. Wilhelm had taken that Friday off to work on a home in Buckhead he and wife Candee Wilhelm were building near Lenox Square. Candee Wilhelm had been at the house earlier in the day, helping her husband tile a bathroom floor. She had gone home around 7:30 with the assurance from her husband that he would finish up in a while and then theyd have dinner together that night. Spradlin testified Friday that in the phone conversation with Wilhelm he talked about Nichols, who that morning had killed 3 people at the Fulton County courthouse - Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes; court reporter Julie Brandau, and Fulton County Sheriff's deputy Hoyt Teasley - and was the object of a citywide manhunt. In the phone conversation with Wilhelm, Spradlin said he asked Wilhelm if he had his "piece" - his pistol - that he carried as a federal agent. "You know I got that baby," Spradlin said Wilhelm responded. "You know I have that with me." Spradlin then said that he joked that he was not worried about his friend Wilhelm even if Wilhelm didnt have a gun. He had worked out in the gym with Wilhelm, and Wilhelm was so "incredibly strong" Spradlin said he called Wilhelm "Super Dave." He said he told Wilhelm on the phone that if he didn't have a gun, "It wouldn't matter anyway, because nobody could hurt Super Dave." Spradlin said Super Dave wasnt quite that cocky. "He said 'I can't really say that," Spratlin testified. "'If he got the drop on me, then I'd have a problem. But if I got the drop on him, then he's got a problem.'" He told Spradlin he was tired and hungry and getting ready to pack his tools and go home and eat dinner with Candee, who testified Thursday about their last day together, and sat stoically in the courtroom Friday listening to details of her husbands death. Prosecutors have yet to establish for the jury, however, what exactly happened that night when Nichols encountered Wilhelm at the Canter Road home, probably around 10:30 p.m. A neighbor testified Friday she heard what might have been a gunshot but thought was a car backfire. (source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution) USA: SUPREME COURT CONVENES MONDAY: Where the big decisions get made OYEZ! OYEZ! OYEZ! The first Monday in October is two things: a not-bad 1981 movie starring Jill Clayburgh and Walter Matthau, and, by law, the opening of the Supreme Courts new term. At 10 a.m. the justices will file into their ornate court amid this most traditional of proclamations: "The Honorable, the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!" (Oyez is the Middle English equivalent of "hear ye!") KEY CASES THIS SESSION TROY DAVIS DECISION The court is expected to rule Monday on whether condemned cop killer Troy Anthony Davis of Savannah should b granted a hearing on his murder conviction. Since the 1991 trial, 7 of 9 key witnesses have recanted, and Davis' supporters say he is innocent. The court stayed Davis' execution last week. (source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

"the prize at the end of the maze"
yes, that is what someone said to me yesterday, after winding her way thru the maze of denim, ties, leather goods and assorted items at this year's pop up flea. i have a table, actually my daughter and i have a table at the menswear market put on by a continous goldberg production. super fun. i have a few of my sculptures from my exhibition but viagra 6 free samples mostly have stuff from my collections. there are paul rand items, 19th century chess sets, olivetti packaging, my 1927 swiss army bike, and of course staplers. all for sale. my daughter's there too, selling totes with her artwork, cookies, pickles and pound cake, all made by mom in alabama. please come and take a look a say hello. it's here.
"post damn it"
i wish to thank everyone who stopped by my booth at the pop up flea back in december. i had a terrific time and i especially want to thank one particular visitor. the reason being, he gave me a hard time about not writing. he was aware that my writing had almost stopped. he simply said, "post damn it" and walked away. well some time has passed and i have cleared my desk of a few projects and photography accomplished, i therefore i have no excuse. so i am determined to write more and tell you of some up coming events and sales.
in may i will be doing a pop up store in brooklyn where i will selling original and vintage items, as well as some art pieces related to my collections. i will keep you up dated as the details become formalized. should be a lots of fun. please keep checking in and i'll try and keep my promise to "post damn it!"
join me at the flea
i'll be at the popup flea selling design related books and items. please stop by and say hello. thanks jpw
i mentioned that i worked at wolf olins for a summer, years ago. it was through a friend of mine, simon johnston, who made the connection there for me. i met simon in basel where he was studying at the basel school of design. i was with my classmates from rhode island school of design. our teacher, franz weiner, who had attended sfgbasel, took a group of students to visit and do similar but abbreviated assignments, meet the teachers and visit notable design spots. i loved it! i relished everything but the brussels sprouts. i tried to keep in touch with simon over the years and i was excited when he started the magazine octavo, along with mark holt and hamish muir. hopefully most everyone is familiar with this publication. it was beautifully produced and had wonderful articles; i cited one here before. i was excited to visit their offices on endel street. often, when simon was not working, which was not often, we would eat at centraila (an extremely cheap italian hole in the wall) and talk about design, book collecting and english football. i have many fond and treasured memories. anyway, here is something you most assuredly have not seen: the letterhead for the magazine. the design is straightforward, clean, simple and says what needs to be said. often not the case. however, what is missing, and what you can't experience, is the paper. it is light as a feather, a 10-pound typewriter paper. i have no idea how 8vo was able to get someone to print on it. years ago, i printed on a similar weight parchment and it took three days to print twenty thousand sheets. the printer, daniels in everett, mass., was super but not happy. as i have mentioned before, my letterhead collection is my favorite and i don't often get a chance to add to it. simon visited a few years ago and presented me with this example. another treasure.
dusted off
my father looms large. mostly because he said very little. but what he did say, i remember. when i was a kid, he would go into work on saturday mornings and I would often accompany him. instead of having me hang out at his office, he would drop me off at myers magic shop. his office was on first avenue north, just a block away from pete's famous hot dogs, a hole in the wall where you would stand eating your hot dog and polishing the subway tile at the same time. the magic shop was close by. i would spend hours watching and practicing tricks. my dad and i took only a few trips together but one was to a magic convention. as i got older, i went into the office less and less. i remember one occasion he asked me to come along; i must have been around 19 or 20 at that point. my dad drove a 1968 327 camaro. simple, basic, no extras. he was decidedly a 'buy american' kind of guy. i got into the car and made the decision not to say anything until he spoke first. not as a challenge or with any anger, just as a test. the drive on a saturday morning took only about 15-20 minutes. as we drove through red mountain, we passed the exit for 8th avenue south and st. vincent hospital, where there was a sign for a company, associated doctors. the owner was one of my father's customers and a friend. maybe ten minutes had passed. i couldn't stand the silence any longer, so i asked him about how hospitals make money. a business question, just to have him talk. i never saw him read a novel although i gave him several. he said, 'they charge fees.' that's all. so much for conversation. on another occasion, and i don't remember how it came up (maybe he thought i was arrogant, he certainly thought i was full of myself), he said 'everyone has a horn to blow. just remember it's best if yours is collecting dust in the corner.' i have always thought this was good advice and i have tried to keep it as a mantra, yet it seems i'm going against that advice here. sightunseen was kind enough to visit me and my collections and write a little something about them. they offer some very kind words, and i thought it was the least i could do send any interested parties to their fine blog. please visit them—and come back and see me, too!
nicely registered
i have been collecting registered labels since my first visit to a stamp show. it is intimidating walking around a stamp show. it's a world unto itself of mostly men, old men. after each visit, i take away that i am getting older and i don't like it much. of course it is not all old men. there are some women, and some children who are starting out with their stamp collections. but by and large, it is men. i think i have mentioned how many dealers call out and ask if they can help you: "what do you collect?" i rarely engaged with them in the beginning since i didn't collect stamps and certainly didn't know the terms or categories of collecting. i stumbled upon these at a new york stamp fair. i was looking at the rows of envelopes. i soon learned these letters were called covers. all categorized by country. i thought if i looked through different countries, i might find stamps designed by piet zwart or paul schitema. i dreamed of finding a letter or envelope addressed by them. in twenty years of attending these fairs, i have never found such a letter. the closest i have come is a letter from gerald murphy, the painter and one-time owner of mark cross leather goods. sadly, neither he nor the company is around any longer. the dealer i finally sat down in front of was michael mead of maine. though i think he now lives on cap cod. in any case, mr. mead asked what i was interested in. since i was not a stamp collector, i was a bit embarssed. i told him i loved interesting typography and collections of collections. he pulled out a binder with dozens upon dozens of interesting labels. all kinds. airmails. express. revenue stamps. and these wonderful registered labels. hundreds of them. just about everything you could image, even some matchbook labels. he explained that these were german registered labels and were removed by soaking them in water. "off cover" is the common term when describing these labels. i have too many of them to count but i fell in love with the different "r" being used, the line weights; the variety added such interest. of course i began collecting these that instant. mr. mead now knows me and is happy to add to my collection. i may not attend every show but when i do take one in, i make sure i visit his booth.
all canceled
how many people look at cancelations. well this person obviously did. in the world of stamp collecting the art of cancelation is laboriously followed by some. the world of the philatelist is filled with countless and unusual titles about the subject: the cancellations of waterbury, connecticut from 1865 to 1890, twentieth century united states fancy cancels, the new york foreign mail cancellations 1870-1876, obliterations et marques postales des etats-unis. of this world one of my favorite categories is fancy cancels. before there were cancelation machines, the individual postal clerk or office would often make their own rubber stamp to cancel a stamp. some of these examples are glorious; carved pumpkin heads, skeleton heads, all types of shapes. this particular collection doesn't have any fancy cancels but i love it nonetheless. believe it or not this is something i don't collect. there is so much to love about this collection. the simple rows. the beautiful colors. the repetition. the care in which they were cut out. the handwriting at the top. order. simplicity. color. why did someone collect these cities? what was so special about them? it appears they were collected mostly around 1860. i expect a philatelist specializing in england could shed some light on this particular collection. i am only left to speculate and admire. i recall many of my purchases and this one is no different. this was purchased at the annual epherema fair held in greenwich connecticut. it is usually a high priced affair with few bargains. i don't think i paid much for this piece. thirty five dollars i seem to recall. i didn't haggle because i bought a few other things from this dealer. beauties in themselves. paul rand book jackets. no books just the jackets. in perfect shape too, but that's another story. this little collection wasn't displayed but was found in a portfolio with all kinds of items. i was thrilled to discover it. i have spoken about my desire to collect 'collections', this defines my category of 'collections of collections'. i do not attend these shows with expectatios as i once did. i am no longer the first in line nor eager to make the definitive find. i have now subscribed to the mantra: whatever turns up. my approach to this blog too!

Footlite Musicals' Summer Children's Workshop
Footlite Musicals will hold its annual Summer Childrens Workshop for children ages 6 to 12 for a three-week period from June 4 to June 22.
Under the direction of Tara Carson, students will learn about the processes and expectations of auditions, rehearsals, and performances for a musical theatre production. The workshop culminates on June 22 at 7:30 p.m. in a one-time final performance of the "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr.," to show off the students new skills, complete with costumes, make up, singing, and dancing.
Ms. Carson and her staff will build upon the current skill levels of each student in the areas of acting, music, and dance through rehearsals and workshops, expose students to the non-performance areas of theatre such as set design, costume design, and dramaturgy, and incorporate cross-curricular learning during the students summer vacation in order to expand their worldview, sharpen basic skills, and show them learning can still be fun.
As a result of participating in this workshop, students will be able to confidently audition for musical theatre productions; appreciate the work that goes into non-performance elements of theatre; develop characters more thoroughly and thoughtfully, and demonstrate knowledge of basic singing technique, stage directions, stage movement, and common musical theatre choreography.
All sessions are at Footlites home, the Hedback Community Theater, 1847 North Alabama Street, Indianapolis, IN. Sessions are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the final week, the Friday session will be conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to allow campers to go home and rest before returning to perform Flat Stanley, Jr. in the evening.
During the daily sessions, students will be given a half-hour lunch break and will be expected to provide their own lunches. A refrigerator is available to store lunches.
The cost of the workshop is $200 per child. Registration and a meet-and-greet session will held Thursday, May 31, at 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the theatre. Final registration will be held at 8:30 a.m., Monday, June 4, prior to start of the workshop that day.
For more information, contact Bill Hale, Footlite president, at (317) 457-6003 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit Footlites website at www.footlite.org.
"Flat Stanley" is a beloved children's book written by Jeff Brown that has become a literary and pop cultural phenomenon, delighting readers and travelers all around the world. "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr.," is a musical written by Timothy Allen McDonald with lyrics by McDonald and Jonathan K. Waller and music by McDonald, Waller and David Weinstein and Stephen Gabriel.
Stanley Lambchop is your ordinary, every day, run-of-the-mill 10-year-old: normal mom and dad, normal little brother, normal life. That's just the problem; for Stanley, life is too normal. He wants to travel the world, do something amazing, something no one's ever seen before.One night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley's bed comes loose and falls right on top of Stanley! The next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a little flat, but really flat!
In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley, the ultimate exchange student, scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem. He's stamped, posted and cancelled from Hollywood to France to Honolulu and beyond. And whether he's thwarting a robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris, or 'hanging ten' off the coast of Hawaii, Stanley is closing in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more.
