In a Jam
Over at Aviation Week's defense blog, Graham Warwick highlights yet another headache for the Air Force--the service's inability to develop a viable electronic attack strategy, or platforms to carry out that mission.
As Mr. Warwick reminds us, the USAF has been relying on Navy and Marine Corps EA-6B Prowlers to provide tactical jamming support for its strike aircraft. But the support agreement between the two services is set to expire in 2012 and as of this writing, the Air Force has nothing in the works to provide electronic jamming for non-stealth aircraft.
And, making matters worse, the Navy is only buying 85 of its new EA-18G Growler--enough to cover fleet operations, but not enough to support carrier squadrons and Air Force strike packages.
You may recall that the USAF once had a superb escort jammer--the EF-111 "Raven." Based on the venerable F-111 design, the Raven was more than fast enough to follow strike packages into the target area, establish its "Taco" jamming orbit and suppress enemy radars, then cover the egress of attack aircraft.
But, in the post-Cold War military, it became apparent that DoD couldn't afford the Raven and the EA-6B. So, some bright folks in the Pentagon hit on the idea of retiring the EF-111 and utilizing the more-numerous Prowler squadrons to cover Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force strike operations.
To some degree, the idea made sense. Not only was the EA-6B inventory greater than the number of EF-111s, the Navy and Marine Corps jammer offered greater coverage of threat radars and it was capable of firing anti-radiation missiles. But there were some trade offs. The Prowler was slower than the Raven.
Participating in more than a few Red Flags and Green Flags, I listened to strike crews complain that the Prowlers "couldn't keep up." A standard tactic on the Nellis range was to "push" the EA-6Bs ahead of the bombers, particularly if you had aircraft like the F-111 or F-15E in the formation. Sending the Prowlers in advance allowed them to target air defenses more effectively, and it also kept them from falling behind.
Unfortunately, that tactic made them an easy target for "red air," which was quite adept at stripping the jammers from the strike package. If the Prowlers survived, their HARM capability was a welcome addition for EC (electronic combat) package commanders. But, if I recall correctly, the addition of HARMs limited their jammer load.
Whatever their liabilities, the Prowler community did a fine job supporting Air Force strike operations in the Balkans, Afghanistan and over Iraq. In the interim, the USAF was supposed to develop its own plan for jamming support, developing new systems that were supposed to be ready by 2012.
Even if you're not a career electronic warfare officer (EWO), you can probably guess what happened. Two of the Air Force's "favored" solutions for electronic attack, the EB-52 (a Buff configured for stand-off jamming) and the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) were cancelled. A third system projected for the USAF EC quiver, the miniature air-launched decoy, has been delayed until 2011, at the earliest.
That is not to say the USAF is completely without options. With its purchase of the F-22 (and the F-35 in the works), a significant number of Air Force strike platforms will be low-observable and, presumably, require less jamming support than older aircraft. The AESA radars of the Raptor and the Lightning II also have inherent jamming capabilities.
But those arguments only go so far. F-22 production will likely be capped in the low 200s, and those platforms will be used for a variety of missions. Given those realities, the F-22's most likely EC mission will be self-defense (or screening other Raptors), rather than protecting non-stealth aircraft. The same holds true for the F-35.
And, until the F-35 begins replacing the F-16 in large numbers--at the end of the next decade--most of the Air Force strike inventory will consist of aircraft that are not low observable. That means a continuing requirement for stand-off and close-in jamming support, against an air defense arrays that grow increasingly robust.
At this point, there are no easy solutions for the Air Force's electronic attack woes. The clock is ticking on that support agreement and buying Growlers for the USAF simply isn't an option. Our guess is that the USAF will attempt to muddle through, relying on stealth to decrease the need for jamming and hoping that its non-stealthy attack jets don't have to face an advanced air defense network (read: double-digit SAMs) before retirement.
As Mr. Warwick writes, someone needs to ask the Air Force why it has bungled the electronic attack mission so badly. True, the service had to be dragged into the EA-6B agreement, and many EWOs warned of its long-term consequences. But the USAF ultimately signed on the bottom line, with a promise to develop long-term solutions for tactical jamming.
More than a decade later, those "solutions" are as elusive as ever. As for the EWOs who tried to warn Air Force about the perils of the Prowler deal and the long-term development strategy? They're either flying a desk, or enjoying a happy retirement.
ADDENDUM: We should also note that stealth does not completely eliminate the need for jamming support. EA-6Bs were included on more than a few missions flow by the F-117, for obvious reasons. As a rule, older radars are more effective against LO platforms that newer radars that operate at higher frequencies. Adding an EA-6B to the mission reduces that threat, because the jammer is highly effective against older acquisition radars, among other threats.

"I think he was giving a very clear signal to many countries, including the United States, about its outreach to refugees and all the blocks that are put it," Rosica said. "He's not just speaking as Jorge Bergoglio; he's speaking as the leader of the Catholic Church addressing the world."
The world has taken notice.
Italian Vanity Fair named him "Man of the Year" this month in a cover story calling him "Pope Courage." In the article, rock star Elton John called Francis "a miracle of humility in a era of vanity."
John hasn't been the only non-Catholic to sing the pope's praises.
"It's time to admit it; Pope Francis is kind of Awesome," Stephen Marche, an atheist, wrote in Esquire Magazine's website last week.
Pilgrims pack St. Peter's Square when Francis delivers his Sunday speeches. The crowds are noticeably larger than his predecessor Pope Benedict had been drawing. Twice as large, by some accounts in Rome.
Despite his popularity, Francis continues to live in at Casa Santa Marta, the Vatican hotel, instead of the opulent papal apartment. He prefers to drive through St. Peter's Square to greet the masses in an open-topped Jeep instead of the bulletproof bubble.
Last week he said that priests shouldn't drive fancy cars. After his speech, Francis visited the Vatican garage to inspect his own fleet, according to The Associated Press.
During Mass on July 3 at Casa Santa Marta Francis explained why he has been so hands-on, so insistent on greeting the disabled, the poor, the refugee, and the prisoner.
"The body of your wounded brother, because he is hungry, because he is thirsty, because he is naked, because it is humiliated, because he is a slave, because he's in jail, because he is in the hospital. Those are the wounds of Jesus today," he said.
Setting up charities to solve society's problems is not enough, he said. Catholics and other believers have to get their hands dirty.
"We need to touch the wounds of Jesus, we must caress the wounds of Jesus, we need to bind the wounds of Jesus with tenderness, we have to kiss the wounds of Jesus, and this literally."
Big preparations for Brazil
World Youth Day, which will be held in Brazil later this month, has the potential to show the full measure of the new pope's popularity.
Brazil is home to the world's largest Catholic population, but in the past 10 years the church has been steadily losing ground to evangelical churches.
Could the first Latin-American pope's homecoming reverse that longterm trend?
Some 60,000 volunteers have signed up to help for the weeklong pilgrimage the week of July 22, 2013.
Events include an opening Mass on Copacabana beach for pilgrims, Catholic DJs spinning records at a beach festival, and a final Mass that is open to the public at a giant field west of the city.
Benjamin Paz Vernal, director of communications for World Youth Day communications said for the week they have ordered 4 million hosts for Holy Communion.
Paz Vernal said site where the final Mass will be held is 2 1/2 times bigger than that of the last World Youth Day in 2011. At that Mass, Spain's National Police estimated the crowd was 1.5 million people.
The pope will be busy in Brazil: and it's a typical itinerary for Francis.
He will visit a drug rehabilitation hospital, a Marian shrine, hear confessions from young inmates, and tour a slum in Rio de Janiero that the Vatican notes was "recently pacified."
But what everyone will be watching is what is not what on the itinerary from a pope who seems to relish improvisation.
"I've utterly given up trying to figure out what he's going to do," said the Rev. Paddy Gilger a newly ordained Jesuit priest who runs the website "The Jesuit Post."
In Francis he sees a pope unafraid to push the boundaries and keep his minders – as well as the media -- on their toes.

And to think, creationists think the whole vast universe was created for us. Planets that we can't observe or know about without the most advances scientific instruments created by mankind, by overwhelminly non-believing and non-religious scientists, are part of this god's plan? Of course we are just a tiny speck of dust in a vast, vast universe that we can't even comprehend in its' size. It is the height of arrogance to believe the creation myths of the bible or Islam or any other religion explain the universe when they are just ego trips by those who know nothing of science.

Caligula 1
by David Lapham, German Nobile ; Avatar Press
Peter Campbell — 12-Apr-11
Oh look: someone's been watching HBO's Spartacus and has decided to rip it off. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's a long tradition of comics inspired by popular TV series and films, and some of the results have been as good or have exceeded the standards set by their source of inspiration. This is one of the better ones.

The end of the season 6 finale. It gets me every time.
I love and hate this scene all at the same time.
(Source: elijahshonor)
The following is a summery for a fanfic I want to write. I haven't even started yet but I figured I would post this.
halfway through her senior year of high school rory was diagnosed leukemia. by graduation she was in remission. four years later she is about to graduate yale and logan proposed. as much as she wants to rory can't say yes. her doctor is here and her support system. she never told logan about the luekemia though and when she says no it ends up the same way as on the show. logan finds out somehow and nothing seems to matter to him anymore but rory.
The prologue will be Rory's senior year of high school at the point she finds out and the first chapter will be post season 7. It will just move on from there.

Finished a promag cycle about a month ago, though id tell my results. i did 50/75/75/100/100. Weight gain was minimal at about 5 lbs and strength gains were good.
Bench: id struggle to get 275x2 by the end 275x5
db military: from doing 80's around 8 times to 12 and doing 90s around 8
squats (real squats): from 275x6 to 275x12
didnt do alot of deadlifts before but did during and went from 315x8 to 315x12
and added about that same amt to all compound movements. decent for my first full cycle, but a little disappointed. I felt with all the calories i was taking in and supplementation i could have gotten somewhat close to that w/o anything. never had that "on" feeling, but im not one for the placebo effect and thats all what that may be. but Slow and Steady gains, nothing that wowed
ZERO side effects even at 100. zero testicular atrophy (made me question the potency of product though)
Took AEGIS for liver
Now thinking about next cycle and want to take something that is not a super heptoxic ph like superdrol. my thought is trenazone or finaflex 550xd, and possibly epistane depending on how harsh it is on liver, its not 17aa but i heard its harsher that hdrol/pmag on liver. my philosophy w ph's is not to stack or do high doses or long duration and just have 1 or 2 a year, but to do moderate cycles without pushing it to the limit and just taking more throughout the year, not sure if it is the best but i think it is less harsh.
So if i could hear opinions and reviews of trenazone and 550xd and thoughts on the side effects of epistane that would be great. Thanks
Would love to hear thoughts on

text: Security around the White House is always ramped up a notch or two or three whenever the prime minister of Israel comes to town, and such was the case today at the White House. At 2:50 this afternoon a secret service uniformed officer came to our temporary office at 12 Jackson Place and told us we had to evacuate. And, is often the case, they didn't tell us why, except they were examining a suspicious vehicle. So we put everything down, quickly strode down two flights of stairs and out in the 90 degree plus heat. Downtown traffic around the White house ground to a halt, and muttering members of the White House press corps tried to get some information to no avail for more than an hour and 25 minutes. Only then did we got a call back from the Secret Service with an explanation. The suspicious vehicle was a mini-van belonging to none other than the Israeli delegation. As it turned to enter the White House complex a bomb sniffing dog "hit" on it. Nobody is saying why, but the probable explanation is that at one point the van carried something that probably that contained chemical used in explosives. The "incident" was over at 4:15. Traffic returned to normal and we trudged back to our workspace.

The superstition that if you break mirror, you will have seven years' bad luck, comes from the belief in ancient times that a person's reflection was part of their soul. As a result, people used to think that if you broke a anything with this reflection on it, such as a mirror, you would harm the soul.
In most hotels all over the world, you will not find a room with the number thirteen, and if the hotel is a skyscraper, it will go from floor twelve to floor fourteen. The superstition that thirteen is unlucky can be traced back to a Scandinavian myth. There were originally only twelve gods and then along came the god Loki to make thirteen. Loki was a mischievous god who brought suffering to people. Nowadays, people avoid planning important events on Friday 13th (or Tuesday 13th in some cultures), and if things go wrong on that day, like the loss of a wallet or a key, they blame it on the date.

My 15 yr old son started officiating recreational level soccer games last year. Each year you have to take a recertification course to maintain your license. My son was signed up for a course this Saturday from 1:30 - 3:30 pm and just yesterday I recieved an email saying the course will start at 11 am (the online registration still says the course is at 1:30btw). Well my son has a track meet at 9 am so he cant make it to a course that starts at 11 am. Since the course registration website is confusing about getting your money back or switching to a different course, I emailed the guy for suggestions on what to do and whether I was misunderstanding his email. Here is the response I got
We have a VERY tight schedule that day, trying to recert/upgrade THREE different types of officials, plus hold a meeting of the Akron Soccer Referees Assn. in the same room at 3pm. Generally, soccer people are not sympathetic to those who are trying to do other things at the same time as soccer events. We expect soccer people to be committed first to their soccer commitments, and then work in whatever else they want to do into the time available. If track comes first, perhaps your son should be a track person and not a soccer person.
What do you think? Should I respond to that? This term "soccer people" - anyone heard it before? Where is Christian when you need him.

In 2011, the Pentagon mothballed Missile Field 1, acting on direction from the Obama administration. Instead of permanently decommissioning it, the Defense Missile Agency placed it in a non-operational state.
Pentagon officials testified at a budget hearing at the time that hardening and reactivating the six silos in Missile Field 1 would take two years and cost approximately $200 million. Pentagon officials testified then that "there are no current threats dictating the need, nor plans to reactivate MF-1 in the future."
Republican congressional sources told CNN that they argued against the move.
"North Korea was doing all sorts of things we couldn't talk about publicly back then," said one GOP congressional official who is privy to intelligence briefings. "The intelligence did not change. This is right where we expected North Korea to be. It takes about two years to order and take delivery of a new interceptor. That's why you have to be ahead of the threat."
In his State of the Union address last month, Obama said the United States would "stand by our allies, strengthen our own missile defense and lead the world in taking firm action in response to these threats."
Last week, Miller told the Atlantic Council that "North Korea's shrill public pronouncements underscore the need for the U.S. to continue to take prudent steps to defeat any future North Korean" intercontinental ballistic missile.

Post Racial Politics: The non-apology apology from the New York Post... has, appropriately, had a non-impact impact. Our fifth story on the Countdown: The protests continuing tonight both outside the headquarters of the right wing tabloid's parent company, News Corps... And inside the news room... where even the gossip page is distancing itself from the controversy. All this as right-wing wing-nut Alan Keyes is now warning that President Obama is a "radical communist" and a "usurper" who must be stopped... or... the United States will "cease to exist." No, I am not kidding.
City Hall: On Monday, President Obama will meet with the nation's governors... governors whose states are hurting. Today, Mr. Obama met with more than 70 mayors from around the country. Our fourth story tonight... is the president outflanking the Republican Congress?
ODDBALL: Hannit's puzzle...weee!!
A-Rod & Real: Less than 72 hours after his confessional news conference, designed to begin rebuilding his support among fans (and advertisers), baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez's already improbable story of how and when he used steroids, has fallen apart. Our third story on the Countdown:
-- He said the drug "Boli" -- Primobolan -- had been obtained for him by a cousin; Today a newspaper report revealed Rodriguez had a personal trainer linked to steroids.
-- He said the steroid had been purchased "over-the-counter" in the Dominican Republic; Today another report revealed the drug isn't even legally available there with a prescription.
-- And he insisted he had not used any performance enhancing drugs since the 2003 season; Today, the story about the notorious trainer included the startling revelation that the man had travelled with Rodriguez, as recently as the baseball season of 2007.
Worsties...see below.
WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: Rick Santelli and El Rushbo vie for tonight's top honors.
The Party's Over: "I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. "Everybody's out of work, or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers can't sell beer. Beer sales are running low, and nobody knows what to do. There's no end to it." In our number one story on the Countdown, for the first time since records have been kept in 1959, beer sales are down -- dramatically so. "We know things are bad. Worse than bad. They're crazy. Everything is going crazy, so we don't go out for a beer any more."

What non-Ohio State offense is your favorite to watch?
Georgia is one of those teams where the fans chant "SEC! SEC!" and I wonder, what have YOU won?
Nice title in 1980 with Herschel Walker. Of course, I was 9 years old and now I'm 41, but, yeah, you're an elite team.
Can't watch any of the SEC pretenders. Alabama, LSU, and Florida are for real but just not exciting on offense. I'd say for watching it is hard to beat the Big 12. Its just a fun conference because of all the offense.
Love watching West Virginia this year. I've loved watching Geno Smith since he first got there.
If the games weren't so late I'd watch Arizona. Richrod's offenses have always been fun to watch, and I can't hate the guy for his stint at TSUN because he never did us any harm.
I don't understand why Georgia is on the list. I think there are better examples of pro-style offenses our there, previously Wisconsin and Boise come to mind and USC under Sarkisian, but maybe now Texas or Alabama...anyway, not UGA.
WVU, Oregon, Okie State...all of the above are awesome to watch.
I'd go with Alabama, they're just so damn efficient. Everyone focuses on their defense, but their offense is equally as good.
I really don't like extremely pass-heavy offenses like WVU/Oklahoma/Oklahoma State etc. They ALWAYS end up getting exposed at some point, and with how bad WVU's defense is this year, their offense will really be irrelevent when they start playing better teams.
Oregon is really fun to watch as well, although you know they're going to have one of those games where they just can't get going, it happens every year
Cincinatti has been fun to watch this year offensively as well especially against Pitt. My personal favorite is Oregon. We ran a quick offense in high school and its near impossible to stop if executed correctly because the defense cannot get their plays in or catch their breath. I was actually hoping our offense was going to be more similar to theirs because its very tough to defend. Love what Urbans done so far and the direction were moving
I really enjoy watching Northwestern. They run so many variations and just plug-and-play their quarterbacks. If Fitzgerald had half the talent Ohio State has, he would do some serious damage.
To err is human. Really sucking requires having yellow stripes on your helmet.
I like USC's offense then, then Boise State's, then 'Bama's, then LSU's, and then Wisconsin's. I like Pro-Style and I-formation. Power-I. FB and TE football - Nebraska 1994 | 1995 | 1996
Nothing beats a FB Dive that breaks into the secondary in the 4th qtr when the other team is finished and their LBs are getting run over and some safety gets his ass handed to him.
I like running Dave - What if we had a real O-Line Coach and Coordinator way back then - Tressel ball with a real 2-deep correctly recruited O-Line and O-Line Coach?
I like Meyer's passion and success and leadership - I just don't like the spread. It's boring. Oregon is boring. I love watching the SEC pound Oregon. Loved watching Ohio State pound Oregon in the Rose Bowl where that little piss ant Oregon LB had to rip Zach Boren's helmet off just to stop backpedaling 12 yards downfield.
I know I am going to get blown up here - I don't care. I like old-school.
FUqU, e!spin!!
I love watching Georgia now. Gurley is unreal (former teammate of our newest commit Tyquan Lewis) I have watched every one of their games in high school as it is the high school I get to teach at. Awesome to watch him do in college what he has been doing for years to high school kids. Btw with Tyquan and Gurley is it any wonder they are going for their fourth straight title? We tried hard to get Gurley to tOSU but the change in tOSU staff happened at the worst time, no response really when we sent film.. Oh well.
Nevada. I love the punch-you-in-the-face brutality of the Power I but the sneakiness of the zone read, and with the pistol offense, you can have it all. The best part of it is how gigantic the Wolfpack playbook is. They'll run everything from four verticals out of a spread 4-WR look to the triple option, then follow it up with an off-tackle run inside out of a 3 TE set. Too bad Nevada has such a lousy defense--their O has never had trouble putting points on the board.
"There is a force that makes us all brothers, no one goes his way alone." --Woody Hayes
Of all the bowl games last year, I looked forward to the Rose Bowl the most, w/ Oregon's fast paced spread vs. UWisconsin's balanced power attack. And that game did not fail to live up to the hype. Both offenses were superb.
Right now, it's Oregon. No doubt.
But for my money, no offense in the history of CFB was more entertaining than the '06 offense led by Troy Smith. That was fun.

Member Meet-Ups
Hi Bob, I would like to come, but that is a long drive for me and a long day for my daughter to be on her own. I'm still thinking about it though!
Sue - Diane 825819, from Hamilton, will be there, but she's staying overnite Saturday near St. Leo's. It will take you 2.5 - 3 hours, and there may be construction on US 60, but taking a slightly longer route (from I-75 South, to I-64 West, to the Frankfort Exit [I think is Exit 58] to Versailles will avoid US 60) - you can check that route on mapquest. You could leave the Dance by 10pm, and be home by 1am.
The Church is next to the Parish Hall w/ 5pm Sat Mass should people want to meet the obigation during the Party. The Derby should start around 6:30pm.
We're trying to have 25 - 50 people which, in the Derby atmosphere, would be a wonderful gathering.
The Hall is 2-yo, w/ a full kitchen & reminds me of IHS' Parish Hall.
I hope you'll be able to attend, and maybe bring others, maybe even your daughter?

When helicopters first appeared in our skies in the 1950s, they were touted as the transport of the future; an aircraft which could take off and land in a car park or the roof of a building and fly us high above our traffic-clogged streets.
Congested roads and airways would be a thing of the past, the thinking went. Fleets of helicopters could whisk us safely and efficiently to our destinations. But helicopters proved to have their drawbacks. They are much less fuel-efficient than planes. They are noisy, and vibrations make them uncomfortable to travel in.
In the meantime, fixed-wing aircraft won out. Conventional planes can carry larger loads faster and further than helicopters, and in more comfort for passengers. But they require long runways and therefore, bigger airports.
At London's Heathrow, for instance, a plane uses the runway every 30 seconds or so. Airports like these are bad neighbours; noisy and polluting, and have to be situated some way outside city centres, adding to travel time. And we need more and more of them.
If helicopters can be re-designed, then they might provide an alternative, cutting congestion and opening the skies to us all.
"They could operate at heliports constructed at other transport centres, like train stations or on top of freeways" says Carl Russell, an aerospace engineer at Nasa Ames Research Center.
Nasa may be best known for space exploration, but its aeronautics division is doing some cutting-edge research into a new generation of air travel. Their mission is to "solve the challenges in the air transportation system: air traffic congestion, safety, and environmental impacts."
'Compound aircraft' have been investigated in the past, for direct city-centre-to-city-centre travel, but with little success. In the 1950s, the British-built Fairey Rotodyne was developed as a kind of flying bus. It had a conventional-rotor for vertical flight, and two propellers on stubby wings for horizontal flight.
It showed promise, but development was cut mainly due to politics and cost-cutting. Test flights highlighted a number of engineering challenges, in particular the noise from a jet air system used to power the rotors.
Now Nasa designers are using tilt-rotor technology to design a machine that will carry around 90 passengers and travel 1,000 miles (1,600km).
The Large Civil Tilt Rotor (LCTR) looks like a plane, but with two huge rotors at the end of each wing instead of small propellers. For take-off and landing those rotors are parallel to the ground just as in a helicopter. Then during flight, they swivel forwards to act like huge propellers. "The entire nacelle [the streamlined engine housing] at the wingtip will actually tip forward with the rotors," says Russell.
Right now it's an engineering concept, and Nasa are doing wind tunnel tests of various components.
The LCTR is designed to work using existing infrastructure. That means it could use airports, but not clog up runways. Short and medium-length trips could be taken on a tilt-rotor, leaving just the long-haul flights using large fixed-wing aircraft.
Need for speed
Another major drawback of helicopters has been their speed, or rather lack of it. Compared to fixed wing aircraft, helicopters are the snails of the sky.
The limit for a conventional helicopter – big rotor on top, small rotor at the back - is somewhere in the region of 170-190 knots (315-350km/h or 185 to 220 mph). The LCTR is designed to fly at 300 knots (555 km/h), which is a significant increase in speed.
"That's why we have to go to these different type of configurations because you're just not going to get it with a conventional design," says Russell.

I just spotted some typos in my posts lol. I meant to say she later because famous as Endora. By that I mean, other than radio and film, she was a character actress who played a lot of bit parts in a lot of different TV shows. "Bewitched" was the first television show where she played a major supporting character. I guess I should have said that she regained her fame. The TV audience was a generation apart from the radio audience that knew her so well. I think she was absolutely wonderful in everything she did. Yep, she was Margo Lane! The lady was an absolute beauty and a great talent. I find it hard to believe that there's somebody else within a hundred miles of me that knows this stuff
If you haven't already, there's a movie that Agnes Moorehead is in that you may like to check out. It's called "The Big Street". (1942). She has a small part in it but it really shows how attractive of a woman she was in her youth. The movie actually stars Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. It was co-written by Damon Runyon who had the radio show, "Damon Runyon Theater".
Also, she was terrific in the episodes of "Suspense" she starred in.
And, if it's not too irritating to watch in ten minute increments, someone has posted "The Big Street" on youtube:
Ok, I didn't intend to take up anymore space on your thread Loston...but I just love this stuff. Maybe I'll start a thread about OTR and old movies in the Break Room...I doubt many people here even listen to Old Time Radio shows though.
By the way, I'm about 30 minutes into "Earth Vs The Flying Saucers" which I found on youtube, watching through my TV. It's pretty good so far. It's been paused since last night (got sleepy). I'll finish it today sometime.
I finished watching "Earth Vs The Flying Saucers". I really enjoyed it. I love any 1950s SciFi but had always stayed away from that one for some reason...wish I'd watched it much sooner. Think I'll watch "Destination Moon" again.

For what its worth, last October we ate a Regalade for the first time since Camborde left and found it was terrific.

Do they automatically let you get a table for a weekday bistro evening dinner as a hotel guest, or do you still have to reserve in advance?
For what its worth, last October we ate a Regalade for the first time since Camborde left and found it was terrific.
I believe you still need to reserve - but they hold tables for the hotel so if you are a guest it should be simple.
Posted 01 September 2008 - 12:29 PM
I've had lunch there twice, and it was better a year ago than two months ago. Still, I would sell my soul for the carpaccio de tête de veau.
Too bad it's already mortgaged !!!

Wednesday in lInternaute Julie Gerbert announced that Yves Camdeborde is converting his next-door creperie to a tapas bar for folks waiting to be seated.
That is a great idea, especially if you can grab some of his great charcuterie - a small starter for a hungry man:
I have very fond memories of turning up for a weekday lunch with a friend from England, as we waited on the pavement Yves appeared with two glasses and a bottle of wine to help us survive the ten minute wait. Needless to say we had an excellent and very long lunch.

That said I can recommend Goumard, 9 rue Duphot, in the 1st, especially for seafood. They are open seven days a week, till midnight and are located close to your hotel.
We ate there twice in February and had very good sole meunière, quasi de veau, lobster macaroni and seafood platter.

I assume you realise that the Comptoir is on the Left Bank and your hotel is on the Right Bank.
However, it is still only a short walk past some good sights and interesting streets to Le Comptoir de Relais. We ate lunch there just before Christmas and it was as good as we remembered, we bracketed our meal there with some other top spots like Spring and Le Cinq and I felt it held up well (obviously different style and price point but still good in its category). I especially enjoy their charcuterie plates - although I suspect they are designed for two!
Do remember that the restaurant has two formats. Monday to Friday dinner is a formal bistro setting with a set meal, linen on the table and only half the covers of the lunch and weekend dinner Brasserie format. This is more casual. Dishes from the bistro format do cross to the brasserie format but it is a different menu. For The bistro format you need to stay at the hotel or book a few months in advance (or ring on the day), the brasserie format is first come first served

Agreed. And more reliable places too.Had lunch a couple weeks ago. It's ok- big menu, but a little too touristy now, and too hustle bustle for my tastes.. so many more places now since they've opened...

A little late now, but here is my write up of my meal here last January...
Please click HERE for full commentary with photography: HERE
There is some contention as to when and by whom the renaissance of Frances bistros was begun. It can be argued that Michel Rostang was that who and the late eighties was that when; in 1987, this chef opened Bistrot dà Côté Flaubert next door to his main restaurant. He was very quickly followed by Guy Savoy and then a little slower by Jacques Cagna, Gérard Boyer, Marc Meneau and others. Rostang went on to start two more bouchons Lyonnais in addition to other less formal eateries, as did Savoy.
There is, bien sûr, another side to this centime. In the early nineties, Gault Millau bestowed the Bistro Moderne title on the movement that saw classically trained chefs from the countrys grandes tables abandoning their roots and launching their own traditional bistros. This transition was the result of the serious recession of the early nineties. Haute cuisines halcyonic heydays of the eighties had restaurants running over with willing young chefs ready to set off on their own; the economic downtown meant they had nowhere to go. Banks were unenthusiastic/unable to lend them the finance for expensive, fine dining restaurants, therefore those too impatient or too ambitious to wait for the fiscal tide to turn decided to scale back their schemes and settle for less costly bistros. These chefs differed from those like Rostang and Savoy in that they focused solely on these businesses rather than operating them in conjunction with more formal ventures.
Camdeborde was one of the impatient/ambitious ones. Although from a food-orientated family his père, Jean, had a charcuterie in Pau whilst his grandmère, Marthe, owned a restaurant in nearby Navarrenx this native of le Béarn was more interested in becoming a professional rugby player rather than a professional cook. It was his father that urged him to go to Paris and get some work experience there before deciding his future stay a year and then you can come home, he told his young son. At seventeen, he thus found himself working at the Hôtel Ritz under Guy Legay (2*) and his sous, Christian Constant, in the French capital. Of the former he says, [he] gave me my professional education; I discovered my profession through him. I wasnt born into it, I didnt choose this but it was my encounter with [him] that made me passionate about it. He was my master. Having found his calling at the Ritz, he then found Claudine, his future wife, who was at another restaurant, Capucine, close by. Like their peers, they dreamed of their own place, so whilst Yves worked his way through Maxims, la Marée and la Tour dArgent before reuniting with Constant at the Hôtel de Crillon, Claudine studied business.
In 1992, at twenty-eight and having just been awarded the Delice d'Or from Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, Camdeborde abandoned the space race for Michelin stars. In line with his limited means, he bought a small café in the 14e and opened it as a bistro, la Régalade. A recipe of classic training, simple cooking, casual service and gracious spirit made this an instant success. It also became an inspiration to todays generation of chefs bistronomiques including Stéphane Jégo (Chez lAmi Jean), Benoît Bordier, Thierry Breton, Thierry Faucher and even his mentor, Christian Constant.
By 2004, after twelve years at la Régalade, the man Constant describes as like a battery, had become exhausted and surprised everyone by selling his restaurant; I wanted to move on before I got lazy. I needed to discover new things. It turned out that by new things, he meant the small, seventeenth-century Hôtel du Relais Saint-Germain, just off the touristy Carrefour de l'Odéon, which he took over the following year. This twenty-two room, four-star hotel became the focus of his and his wifes efforts. Once they were happy with it, Camdeborde was allowed to return to the kitchen, launching the adjacent le Comptoir du Relais. The couples mission here was to appeal to all sorts of people; its magic when, in the same evening, in the same room, youve got Belmondo, Zidane, France Telecom employees, my rugby mates, upper-class americans, parisians this creates true atmosphere. The client creates the atmosphere and the client needs to be relaxed. At the end of the day, its that simple. We wanted to perpetuate a French tradition of conviviality, but with a new, younger generation. The chefs reputation has helped ensure that the dining room has been notoriously full since.
A bright red, sleek façade is almost entirely shaded by a vast, black, canvas canopy, upon which le comptoir is inscribed in white. Before the tall windows, outlined with ebony and looking into the brighter, yellow interior, sits a line of little linen-covered cane tables for two, each with a wrapped scarlet/coral/peach blanket; an ardoise hangs on one side showing off the daily prix fixe menu. Inside, tables are tight together with a granite-countered bar on the right afore a large mirror, in front of which shelves, well stocked with colourful bottles and glasses, stand. On the opposite wall, amongst old adverts, a similar mirror is scrolled with the lunch carte. The art nouveau room has a yellow-blue mosaic-tiled floor.
Dinner here tonight was an impromptu decision, so I had no booking. Turning up at half-past-eight, the dining room was full, but the terrace almost empty. It was a cold evening, but the blankets and huge heaters outside made it more than bearable and the view was a decent one too. During the day, the restaurant is an informal brasserie, but in the evenings, it is a gastro-bistro offering the same five-course menu to everyone. Each table has its own printed postcard detailing the dishes as well as the days patron saint today it is that of Saint Tatiana, a Christian martyr from third century Rome, blind, beaten and then beheaded (sorry, could not think of a witty way of relating this back to me ).
Le Pain: Pain de campagne. An entire, large loaf of crusty sourdough was brought out on a wooden board; the bread had been pre-sliced, but arranged to appear intact. Provided by Poujauran, it had a soft, fairly open crumb and slightly sour finish. Butter was not forthcoming. When asked for, two slivers of unsalted, fridge-cold beurre dIsigny were delivered.
Entrée 1: Oeuf plat truffes noires du Gard. A sizzling hot, double-handed, cast iron roasting pan was served filled with several fried eggs, liberally overlaid with large slices of black truffle, coarsely-cut croutons and visible sprinkling of salty crystals. The familiar odour of the oeufs was at once noticed, unlike that of the truffles, which was noticeable only by its nonexistence. With creamy yolks and crisply-edged, wobbly whites, the eggs were well-cooked as well as well-seasoned, but the croutons on top lacked essential crunch. This was simple and pleasing as it was, but essentially it was a plate of fried eggs (that happened to carry a 15 supplement).
Entrée 2: Moelleux de homard Canadien et pomme de terre ratte. Next to arrive was a bowl bearing an oven-baked, gold tinged surface, which when ruptured, revealed Ratte potato mousse, intermingled with morsels of Canadian lobster and interspersed with chives. Another agreeable aroma arose from this creamy mixture. The quality pomme, which also happens to be the suspected pomme of choice for Robuchons renowned purée, had nice flavour and surprisingly light consistency. This superior tatter was teamed however with inferior Canadian lobster that was sparse in supply and somewhat chewy.
Plat Principal: Tourte de gibier a poil, cerises aigre doux. A pleasingly-sized game pie, densely packed with venison and hare and encased within thin pastry, was partnered with verjus-soaked cherries and quenelle of celery purée. The tourte was excellent gamey, tasty, deep filling with crisp, light crust whilst the delicate and clean celery on the side was an agreeable addition. The spicy cherries, unpitted and gritty, were just unpleasant; their verjus essence (acidic liquor from unripe grapes) was much too strong for the dish. Another letdown was the jus that came gently drizzled over all the elements. Although this was pleasingly strong, it was indistinct and had clearly started to form a skin.
Les Fromages: Fromages affinés par la maison Boursault. A big, shiny metallic cheeseboard, designed by Camdebordes friend Renaud Vassas, came burnished with ten sorts of fromage St Marcellin, Echourgnac, Tomme de Savoie, double Crottin, Boulette dAvesnes, Manchego, Chabichou, Camembert, Selles-sur-Cher and la caillé de brebis in addition to jars of honey, gelée de piments, black cherry jam and a separate plate of pâte de coings. This generous, bottomless, help-yourself-to selection, supplied by Paris affineur Jacques Boursault, offered specimens from all over France and of both goats and sheeps milk. Interesting choices were a spicy, smoky paprika-wrapped Boulette from the Belgian border; a subtle Chabichou, the goats cheese that put Poitou on the map; earthy, grassy Tomme; and woody, nutty Echourgnac. The caillé, clotted cream from ewes milk, was watery, whilst my favourite was actually, the non-French Manchego from central Spain. This was slightly sweet, slightly tangy and formed a classic yet terrific couple with the delicious, grainy quince jelly (membrillo). The Basque pepper gelée was also a curious and pleasant discovery.
Dessert 1: Ananas Victoria en: Carpaccio, sorbet, rôti et cappucino. Pineapple four-ways was presented in two thin tranches of ananas cross-section sandwiching its sorbet and roasted almonds; a roasted fruit slice; and a small cup of pineapple juice, shot through with rum, topped with milky foam and dusted with chocolate powder. The Victoria breed intensely sapid, sweet, but hardly acidic is arguably the best. Cold carpaccio was simple and toothsome, although the sorbet within it had, on arrival, already almost completely melted away. The ananas rôti, moist, hot and crunchy, was good while the cappuccino, reminiscent of pina colada, was decent though unmemorable.
Petit Fours: Caramel au fruit de la passion. A passion fruit caramel, with plenty of fruity-tartness, was gratefully neither too sticky nor chewy.
Service was adequate. There was just one serveur to be shared between all those on the terrace with only another two within, making getting anyones attention at times trying. Stephen who looked after me was friendly, interested and helpful when I was able to gain his notice; he also spoke excellent English having lived in London himself a little while. However, I did not appreciate that I was made to feel a little rushed with the all-you-can-eat cheeseboard. Yves Camdeborde, having greeted guests and wished them bon appetit before dinner, came out into the dining room and onto the terrace towards the evenings end. He spoke with most of the diners and indeed seemed well-acquainted with many.
I must say that I was not impressed with the food. I do like my bread, so a whole loaf to myself was a fine start to the meal. However it was ruined by a first course that verged on absurd with utterly useless truffles making it, effectively, the most expensive plate of eggs I have ever had; consummately cooked eggs they were though. The moelleux de homard was, to a degree, a decent straightforward dish, but slapdash plating (notice the smears left along the edge) and mediocre products made this forgettable. The game pie was far and away the best item of the night and was actually very good in its own right, but again, as a dish, it was spoilt by disagreeable (and out-of-season) cherries and stale sauce. As a complete course, the cheeseboard was the most satisfactory and, as none of it was the fruit of the kitchen, this says much in itself. The dessert too was unremarkable.
The general theme was one of simple yet luxury comfort food. Fried eggs smothered with truffle, moelleux made with lobster and a pie stuffed with noble venison and hare certainly live up to this billing. A good idea though was foiled by execution and raw materials that were found wanting. The play on different textures of pineapple and the tourte hinted at an haute education, but there was none of the innovation or creativity that Camdeborde has been credited with. There was instead a basic sloppiness that was rather off-putting. As mentioned, the poor truffles; dirty presentation; dishes probably waiting at the pass (the jus film) and sorbet served on a hot plate, were all evidence of this. Any good ingredients, such as the game, Ratte potato and Victoria pineapple, also appeared to be cancelled out by second-rate ones like the Canadian lobster, again impotent tubers and those cherries.
I have read and heard from others that Camdebordes cooking is not what it used to be. Actually, the consensus seems to be that he has never been able to reach the heights he did whilst at la Régalade. I, never having tried his cuisine there or before at all, cannot comment on such. What I can state though is that the sense I got was one of a chef who has stopped trying. There was none of the attention to detail or finesse that I would expect from someone trying to impress. Cynically, what with Camdebordes other business ventures and a name that ensures that his restaurant is full regardless of what he serves, maybe he has deemed his efforts surplus. As an aside, when he stepped out to check on customers after service, I did notice how impeccably clean his whites still were as he spoke to the elder couple besides me.
Something else absent was the legendary generosity that the chef helped establish himself with. At la Régalade, patrons were plied with complimentary pâtés, terrines, sausages and hams made by his brother, Philippe (a custom that continues there today). At le Comptoir, such munificence was missing; even with the limitless cheeses, I felt my time limited and though I did see vegetable crisps waiting on tables inside and observe other guests outside given nibbles and wine prior to their starters, I personally received nothing. In their defence, these canapés consisted of jambon and pâté en croûte, obviously both containing pork which I did tell the house I did not eat. Whether I did not receive these because of my ham abstinence, I do not know, but no replacement was forthcoming. Possibly the biggest and worst indication of the lack of liberality was the fact that I was charged a supplement for the butter yes, a supplement for butter, in France.
I have repeatedly singled out the cherries I was served, this is because they sum up what I felt about the restaurant quite well. In an interview whilst he was still at la Régalade, Camdeborde confessed, we must say no to cherries from Peru at Christmas. By serving foods only in season we make people appreciate them. Thats why our menu changes every day; the customer is always happy and appreciates a dish even more when it reappears. After opening his new restaurant, in another interview, when asked about the importance of seasonality, he said, its primordial. For us chefs its pure joy, if you prepare carrots every day, after two months youve had enough. Its a joy to stop one product and start another, even more so for the client. That you can find cherrries at Christmas is fine, why not? But I think its important that restaurants reflect the seasons.
For the record, the date of my dinner at le Comptoir was 12th January.

We've eaten there a lot, only two times for dinner. The last in March, '09, a month ago....
I'm glad you articulated a lot of what I felt!
We brought a French friend, and I don't think she was that impressed. It seemed mostly tourists, a lot of English speaking people. You're right, I think he's become lazy.
Thank you for your review, we really think you were spot on.

I really cannot say what he has become, not knowing what he was...but reading the latest commentary here and elsewhere, it seems that, at the very least, lunch is better than dinner.
Overall, however, it was disappointing.
Posted 06 May 2009 - 04:32 AM
I disagree. My one dinner shortly after it opened was great, my first lunch about the same time was also impressive, but on taking my gang here a while later for lunch, none of us were happy and I have not been back. The word on the street and in the pubs has always been that dinner was "the" meal and lunch just "modern brasserie" fare. We'll see how his new snacking/cocktail area next door fares once it opens, I believe, in the Fall.... it seems that, at the very least, lunch is better than dinner.

Hmm. I know lunch and dinner are very different in terms of popularity and menu, but since my dinner, four/five (what I would consider reliable) people have told me they have enjoyed very good/great lunches there...
I had a really good lunch there just before Christmas. It was mainly charcuterie and wine but that what I enjoy and it was done well. I tend to think of the lunch service as quite good value relative to the quality of food. OK I have had better, but equally I have had many far worse experiences at the same price point.
I have also eaten dinner there many times and generally enjoyed it. Sometimes it was perfect, other times a little patchy and once pretty poor.
FoodSnobs review hasn't surprised me, and it is a little disappointing because it has been an old favourite of mine. When I used to eat dinner there on a regular basis it was very good value, even allowing for the variability ion the food. But as the price has risen over time; especially with the £/ exchange rate, it probably is no longer worth the risk.

My eGullet dining companion unfortunately had to cancel for dinner at Le Comptoir tomorrow night. If anyone would like to step in, please pm me. My reservation is for 2, not sure if I could add any extra at this late date, but I can always ask.

In June we had a coques (clam) consommé (a special of the day); escargots; penne with veal, morels, & foie gras sauce; rack of lamb with red bell peppers; and an incredibly delicious beef cheek daube. I still think about this daube and would love to be able to replicate it at home. The sauce was very concentrated and rich.
Here is a picture of the daube (in the foreground) and penne dishes, taken after we had already started devouring our plates. (I apologize for the poor quality of the picture. If you click on it you will be able to see it a little bigger)
Last week we started with some terrines. The foie gras terrine was very good but the lamb and eggplant terrine had the most interesting flavor for me. I could not stop eating it. Then, for the mains, we sampled from the specials of the day. The scallops in the shell were braised with endives and lemon zest which enhanced their delicate taste. The wild duck was very tender and flavorful, and cooked rare which I love. It was served with a celery root puree on the side.
Dessert was a classic baba au rhum.
I have to say, I love this place. Lunch for two (including wine and coffee) was about $160 and I feel that's a great value for Paris. Yes, there are plenty of tourists in the restaurant, but the quality and the talent are definitely there.

I had lunch and dinner there a few days ago. I can say with certainty, the lunch is a considerably more enjoyable. Prior to the huge cheese platter that they served for dessert, our dinner was a disappointment. They then served us 12 different kinds of cheese and all was forgiven.
If you arrive after 4 for lunch or call the hotel the day of between 1-2 for dinner, you will have a good chance.

#9 in Emerging Markets Bond
U.S. News evaluated 88 Emerging Markets Bond Funds. Our list highlights the top-rated funds for long-term investors based on the ratings of leading fund industry researchers.
The fund has returned -3.25 percent over the past year, 4.87 percent over the past three years, 14.03 percent over the past five years, and 8.66 percent over the past decade.
Trailing Returns | Updated 10.31.2013 |
Year to date | -5.8% |
1 Year | -3.2% |
3 Years (Annualized) | 4.9% |
5 Years (Annualized) | 14.0% |
10 Years (Annualized) | 8.7% |
Fund manager Kristin Ceva has a fairly broad outlook when it comes to emerging markets and will go pretty much anywhere in that realm to find opportunity. Management ratchets down the risk associated with this more volatile asset class by focusing mainly on government-backed foreign bonds.
As of November 05, 2013, the fund has assets totaling almost $891.86 million invested in 200 different holdings. Its portfolio primarily consists of government-backed bonds, with a smaller portion of corporate bonds, in emerging markets countries.
Amid the market meltdown in 2008, the fund was positioned relatively defensively, Ceva says. As a result, the fund lost much less than its peers and rebounded in 2009 with a strong return as the markets recovered. Since then, Ceva has increased the fund's corporate bond investments and added exposure to local currencies in countries such as Brazil, Ghana, and Indonesia. Lately, the fund has been overweight in Brazil and Mexico because of the improving credit situation in those countries, she says. The fund has returned -3.25 percent over the past year and 4.87 percent over the past three years.
The fund has generally outperformed its peers over the long term, and its three-year trailing returns place it in the top 13 percent of the emerging markets bonds category. The fund has returned 14.03 percent over the past five years and 8.66 percent over the past decade.
Investment Strategy
Ceva uses a top-down process, starting with a macroeconomic outlook and continuing with granular research on each emerging market. "We're trying to understand what the macro trends are, the fiscal balance, the debt-to-GDP trends," Ceva says. She also considers the local political atmosphere, electoral policy, and other more qualitative factors when determining where to invest. "In general, we try to avoid countries where there hasn't been willingness to pay or where the social factors are too unpredictable," Ceva says. In wake of the debt crisis in Greece, Ceva says management has made an extra effort to identify and avoid countries with financial instability or social unrest.
Kristin Ceva has managed the fund since its 1998 inception. She directs the global fixed-income group at Payden & Rygel, and oversees their global sovereign debt strategies. Cristina Panait and Arthur Hovesepian

Nice news out of Eugene this week as E.J. Singler of the Oregon Ducks basketball teams was named Pac-12 player of the week.
The junior led Oregon to a home sweep of the Washington schools, in which he averaged team highs of 18.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
This past Saturday in a 78-69 victory over Washington State he put up a game-high 23 points on 8-for-12 (.667) shooting from the field and 4-for-6 (.667) shooting from beyond the arc.
On Thursday, Singler scored 13 points and pulled down a team-best eight rebounds in Oregons 82-57 win over then-conference leader Washington.


text: With the Naval Research Laboratory since 1964, Carruthers has been a driving force in the use of ultraviolet astronomy to learn more about the universe. His most well-known contribution was in developing the Apollo 16 far ultraviolet camera and spectrograph, which was designed specifically for use on the moon's surface to record radiation from the upper half of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. "What we had proposed to do was set up a camera on the surface of the moon to observe the Earth and study its hydrogen atmosphere, which extends out to many thousands of miles," explains Carruthers. "Even the space station and the shuttle can't get far enough away to really study the higher atmosphere." Although the camera itself was left behind, a second version was used aboard the final Skylab flight in 1973 to obtain images of Comet Kohoutek. Carruthers has also been involved in numerous sounding rocket and space shuttle flights utilizing his cameras, including far-UV studies of stars and nebulas, Comets Halley and West and the Earth's upper atmosphere. His most recent experiment was carried out on the unmanned DoD ARGOS satellite mission, launched in 1999. Inventor Bio Carruthers was born in 1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, but moved at age 12 to the south side of Chicago, Illinois. Even at a young age Carruthers had an affinity towards astronomy and science, building his own telescopes and spending time at local science museums. In high school, Carruthers read about the early space exploits of the Naval Research Laboratory, so as a graduate student, he jumped at the chance to receive a postdoctoral appointment with the organization. He received his Bachelor of Science in aeronautical engineering, Masters in nuclear engineering and doctorate in aeronautical and astronautical engineering, from the University of Illinois. Carruthers has received numerous awards, including Black Engineer of the Year in 1987, the Arthur S. Fleming Award in 1971, the Exceptional Achievement Scientific Award from NASA in 1972 and the Warner Prize from the American Astronomical Society in 1973. Carruthers was also a member of two independent review committees for the Hubble Space Telescope Project. Married in 1973, Carruthers is a private man and continues his work at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., as a senior astrophysicist and head of the ultraviolet measurements group. Carruthers is also active in education and public outreach, including promoting science and technology among young African Americans, editing and co-authoring several publications, teaching, and co-producing a series of videos on Earth and space for high school students. |

Charlie hated the title
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009This blog was going to be called "For Art's Sake," paying tribute to the "Art for Art's Sake," or "l'art pour l'art," notion and battlecry that decrees art is not required to do anything but simply exist.
But when I ran this title by Charlie Spillar, art blog contributor and now administrator of this blog, he made that "eh" sound people emit when they really hate your new haircut.
So the blog is named Artistic Tucson.
Contributors will include:
• Charlie Spillar: He's the guy who was honored for finding homes for the Magic Carpet Golf statues. He's also the creator of many wacky pieces, some larger than life, and a fellow Gemini. The latter makes him automatically cool. His head is always flowing with ideas and his definition of ART is very broad, so be ready for some funky stuff.
• David Aguirre: Director downtown's Dinnerware Artspace, Aguirre has a good eye for art and sense of humor. He recently held an entire exhibit that focused on chickens. It even had a live chicken at the reception (where I believe chicken was also served much to the consternation of the guest of honor).
• Ben McNitt: This artistic fellow has a palette full of talent and knowledge about the local art scene. He's a longtime writer and artist who specializes in woodworking and has close ties with the local arts group WAMO.
Check back soon for their premiere post.

ALBANY (AP) -- State wildlife officials say shanties used for ice fishing must be removed by the end of the week.
The Department of Environmental Conservation says the structures must be gone by Friday or the owners can be ticketed and fined $100.
The agency says shanties that fall through the ice are difficult to remove and are a hazard for snowmobilers, while those still in the water after the ice is gone can damage boats.
