Almost as perfect as other 917's
I have several pairs of 917 skinny jeans and love them, so when I saw these on display at the store with a blazer they were a must have. I didn't buy them from the store but wound up buying them online & I didn't try them on in store since I already own several pair. Well, as other reviewers have pointed out, they run short (I'm 5'8). I don't know why TL decided to make the length on these shorter because as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Any shorter and we would have been calling them 917 skinny ankle jeans. Other than that, they fit just as well as my other 917 skinny jeans. Hopefully they won't shrink that much but if they do, I'll have to give them a little cuff.

Cute jeans!
These are a great pair of jeans. Love the textured whiskered look. Great with boots and heels.

Super soft
I bought these online in my true size and they fit perfectly. The waist is cut a bit small so I was worried that they'd create the dreaded muffin top, but they are super stretchy and keep their shape while I move around. They are quite comfortable and the material is very soft and warm. The color is a warm, rich crème shade – they are truly the perfect winter white jeans. I walked around the store this afternoon looking for a matching sweater and found that the Reverse Fair Isle Cardigan compliments these jeans beautifully, so I bought it.

These jeans look fabulous and are comfortable! Fit is true to size and they look great with thick fall and winter sweaters!
November 24, 2013
Love these jeans, they are comfortable and can be dressed up or worn casual. I did have to go up a size though. I usually wear a size 0/2 but I had to get these in size 4 and they fit perfect.

Love these jeans!
Love these pants, just wish they were a bit longer!

Not like other 917s...
I love the 917 jeans and I have four pairs (two of the black and two of the dark wash). I was so excited when I saw that The Limited had released a new color in this style. I went to the store that day to try them on - don't be fooled - they aren't like other 917s!! The black and dark wash come in three sizes - short, regular and long. The whiskered 917s only come in one size with a 31'' inseam. The regular in the dark and black washes are 33'' inseams. I have long legs so those two inches makes a real difference and I was really disappointed. PLEASE make these jeans the same as the other washes and I'll be the first to buy them because I do like the lighter wash.

An authentic tribute of AC/DC that covers the best of the Bon Scott era and the best of Brian Johnson's material
On second and final day of the meetings with Major League Baseball's 30 owners in New York, the topic of the pension plan for those working for clubs was discussed. The matter, first reported by Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, has been brewing for several years. According to the report, a small market club raised the issue of eliminating some pension plans, despite the league seeing record gross revenues in excess of $8 billion.
But the matter was not brought to a vote today, and no action has been taken. Sources reiterated what was said when the story first broke that the matter is not about eliminating pension for personnel, rather giving clubs more flexibility in what they offer. It was not said whether that could possibly mean the downgrading of pensions for some clubs.
At the time of the report in March, the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation had an emergency conference call to discuss the matter. Those that have been scouts for some time were reassured that they would not be impacted by any change, but it was unknown whether new scouts would see adverse impacts, if or when, the league's owners vote on changes to the pension plan.

Major League Baseball's 30 owners begin their two-day quarterly meetings in New York today, and with a continued discussion around expanded instant replay. A committee that includes former and current managers Tony La Russa, Joe Torre, Jim Leyland, and Mike Scioscia as well as executives such as Frank Robinson, John Schuerholz, and Mark Scapiro was created in 2009 to look into on-the-field matters such as instant replay. The media has focused more closely on instant replay in recent weeks after a blown call during the Angels-Astros game last week that saw umpire crew chief Fieldin Culbreth suspended two-games and fined for misapplication of the Official Baseball Rules. According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports! there is "support, approval and, most vital, funding from ownership" into looking at expanded instant replay. But, according to sources, don't expect any changes to come about immediately. While there is support, how it is implemented and to what degree is still something that could have 30 differing views.
Beyond committee meetings, nothing earth-shattering is expected to come out of the meetings that occur today and tomorrow (although, anything is possible). While "something" could come out of the meetings, sources indicate there will not be movement on two languishing issues.
As has been the case since 2009, there is not expected to be any recommendations or movement on the issue of the Oakland Athletics moving to San Jose. With San Jose being part of the San Francisco Giants territory the current World Series Champions aren't in any hurry to relinquish the market.
The Dodgers still await MLB's approval on what is expected to be a $6 to possibly $8 billion television deal, and there has been a massive explosion in television rights fees across the league. With it, there has been renewed focus on the league's blackout policy. Both MLB and the NHL are defendants in a class-action lawsuit, and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) last week introduced the Television Consumer Freedom Act that would allow consumers to purchase channels on an a la carte basis. This could impact MLB Network and other networks, as well as league blackout policies. In speaking to the Senate Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet yesterday, McCain said that as part of the bill it, "seeks to end sports blackouts for teams that play in publicly financed stadiums. The antiquated government blackout rules were created in 1975 and are unfair to taxpayers who finance the vast majority of major stadiums these days."
And yet with this renewed pressure nothing is on the agenda for the quarterly meetings to address the blackout policy at the local and regional level. As part of the new national television deal with FOX that kicks in next year, nationally broadcasted games that were previously blacked out on MLB Extra Innings and MLB.TV due to an exclusivity agreement will be lifted. But that's just the Saturday game of the week. The issue of local and regional blackouts—at least for the time being—are expected to remain.
The Houston Astros have announced that George Postolos has resigned as President and CEO of the club. Postolos was cited as being instrumental in working with Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane and his group in the purchase of the Astros, had been Astros President and CEO since November of 2011. He worked for seven years with Crane to acquire a sports franchise.
"I am very proud of what Jim accomplished with my help – acquiring a major league franchise with a strong and diverse ownership group, developing and implementing a good plan for the team's future, and assembling a first rate management team," Postolos said. "I look forward to helping other investors pursue their objectives in sports knowing that Jim and the Astros organization are off to a great start and well positioned for future success."
Postolos will be returning to his consulting practice advising investors on acquisitions and strategy in major league sports. There is currently no information on a successor or plans to search for one, although the possibility is there that it could happen in the coming days. A looming question that will inevitably surface is the status of former Astros and Rangers Hall of Fame pitcher, Nolan Ryan. Ryan, who was reportedly on the edge of resigning from the Rangers as CEO after the Rangers promoted general manager Jon Daniels and Rick George, said just after the start of the season that he was staying with the organization, but it's unclear what—if anything—was done to make that contractually binding.
During his tenure with the Astros, Postolos spearheaded several changes within the organization, including the Astros overall rebranding process, which included new team uniforms, colors and logos. Postolos also revamped the marketing and foundation departments and emphasized the importance of feedback from Astros fans, taking part in several face-to-face meetings with Astros season ticket holders and long-time fans.
Under his guidance, the Astros nearly tripled the size of the ticket sales staff dedicated to providing relationship-based services to their clients.
"We appreciate George's hard work in the acquisition of the Astros and his commitment to the organization," Crane said. "I'd also like to personally thank him for the assistance that he has provided to me over the last several years and wish him the best of luck in the future."
More details as they become available.
When it comes to sports, what every owner looks for is repeat business. And, if you want repeat business, "loyalty" is king. Through good times and bad, the stronger your fan loyalty, the better off you are.
So, with Opening Day this Sunday, Brand Keys has released their 21st annual report, the Brand Keys 2013 Sports Fan Loyalty Index. Even with a roster that's old as dirt and a trade for Vernon Wells in the offing (believe it or not, this makes more sense than you think), the New York Yankees return to the #1 spot, knocking the Phillies off the top perch after seeing two consecutive disappointing seasons. The 2012 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants move from the #4 to the #3 position while Cardinals and Braves move up the list. If you're in Boston, a concern is the Red Sox who held the top position from 2008-10 and haven't been out of the top five for a considerable period of time. After two consecutive years of controversy, the Red Sox drop completely out of the top 5.
At the bottom of the list, the Astros, who have taken on extreme cost cutting, and move from the NL to the AL this year, drop to the "least loyal fans" spot at #30 after never being in the bottom five since The Biz of Baseball began tracking yearly data back to 2008. The Royals, who continue to languish move from 28 to 29 while the Pirates "improve" from the worst in 2012 to 28th. In news that is bound to make Baltimore happy, after years of being on the wrong side of winning, the Orioles drop out of the bottom five after holding the #30 position in 2008 and the #29 position last year. Winning does cure ills. Rounding out the bottom five, the Mets, who are just now beginning to crawl out from under the Bernie Madoff scandal, and Mariners, who have languished at the bottom of the AL West standings for years now, hold their spots at 27 and 26 from last year.
The Brand Keys Sports Fan Loyalty Index was designed to help professional sports team management identify precise fan loyalty rankings in their home and national markets. "These insights enable league and team management to identify areas, particularly emotional ones, that need strategic brand coaching," said Robert Passikoff, Brand Keys' founder and president. Current 2013 MLB top-5 and bottom-5 brand standings are listed (Note: #'s in parentheses are team rankings for 2012): Top-5 Teams – 2013 (2012 rankings) 1. New York Yankees (#2) 2. Philadelphia Phillies (#1) 3. San Francisco Giants (#4) 4. St. Louis Cardinals (#5) 5. Atlanta Braves (#6) Cellar Dwellers 2013 (2012 ranking) 30. Houston Astros (#23) 29. Kansas City Royals (#28) 28. Pittsburgh Pirates (#30) 27. Seattle Mariners (#27) 26. New York Mets (#26) The Sports Fan Loyalty Index, which measures all the teams in the four Major Leagues, provides an apples-to-apples comparison of the intensity with which fans within a team's SMSA support the home team versus corresponding values for fans of other teams in that market. "That's important because fan loyalty correlates very highly with broadcast viewership, merchandise purchase, and ticket revenues. And happier fans as well," noted Passikoff. "Everybody loves a winner, but it's important to note that win/loss ratios do not entirely govern fan loyalty. There are three other emotionally based factors that must be taken into account."
It has long been sought by the league, has had fits and starts, and will have large impacts if it does, or doesn't happen. The topic is an International Draft in Major League Baseball, and according to a report in today's SportsBusiness Journal, talks are intensifying on the subject. The reason for the focus on it is a June 1 deadline within the labor agreement reached between the MLBPA and MLB last year. Within the CBA, details of the worldwide draft spell out what occurs with, or without an international draft by the June 1 deadline.
As the CBA outlines, here's what would happen if no joint agreement on an international draft were to happen by June 1
If a draft (or drafts) covering international amateur players does not commence in the 2013 season, and irrespective of whether the conditions set forth in I.E have been satisfied, the Office of the Commissioner may provide notice to the MLBPA that it intends to commence operation of a draft (or drafts) covering international amateur players for the 2014 season and subsequent seasons. Written notice of such intent must be provided to the MLBPA by no later than June 1, 2013, and such notice must include a detailed explanation of the rules and procedures that the Office of the Commissioner intends to use for the draft. The MLBPA may veto the commencement of a draft (or drafts) covering international amateur players for the 2014 season and subsequent seasons by providing written notice of its objection to the Office of the Commissioner by June 15, 2013.
But in speaking with MLBPA Executive Director, Michael Weiner in 2012, well in advance of the latest CBA being reached, he voiced that the union was for making it happen, but that there were difficulties in its implementation. Those difficulties are sizeable. As defined in the CBA, the following has to be addressed before an international draft can occur:
The Committee will be charged with advising the MLBPA and the Office of the Commissioner on the following matters:
1. If there is an international draft, whether international players should be part of a single worldwide draft (including players currently covered by the Rule 4 Draft) or a separate draft (or drafts).
2. The appropriate age at which international amateur players should be signed to professional contracts.
3. If there are to be multiple drafts, whether players from Puerto Rico should remain in the Rule 4 Draft or instead be part of an international draft.
4. The development of appropriate country-by-country plans for playing and development opportunities for players prior to draft eligibility, including expansion of the El Torneo Supremo.
5. The development of appropriate plans to provide undrafted or unsigned players (including players age 18 to 21) from Latin America with an opportunity to continue their development, including the creation of a new league or leagues, or the addition of centrally-operated Clubs in the Dominican Summer League ("DSL").
6. Whether and how regulations should be put in place regarding representation of international amateur players (e.g., "independent trainers" and agents).
7. Improving the education and acculturation programs of Clubs at their international academies.
8. What safeguards should be established in relation to any signing bonus payments made to international amateur players.
9. The laws of the countries from which international players are signed and how those laws should affect the actions of the parties.
10. What actions are necessary in order to achieve the negotiation of a revised agreement between MLB and the Mexican League that allows players greater choice of where to play and promotes a fair and open system of player movement.
11. What actions are necessary in order to achieve the negotiation of revisions to the protocol agreements with the Korean Professional Baseball League, the Japanese Professional Baseball League, and the Taiwan R.O.C. League to accommodate a draft.
12. How Cuban players should be treated under an amateur talent system in light of the legal and political factors that affect their signability.
Those items are becoming more important as the season and the June 1 deadline near.
"There are plans to sit down and get serious about the negotiations this spring," said David Prouty, MLBPA general counsel to Liz Mullen of the SBJ. "We are up against a deadline. If we don't come up to an agreement, there will be more serious restrictions."
As to those restrictions, as further reported by the SportsBusiness Jounal:
Without a draft deal, teams next year overspending their international signing caps by 15 percent or more will be subject to a 100 percent tax and a two-year restriction from signing any foreign amateur player to a bonus of more than $300,000. Even a 5 percent overspending by a club would limit an individual signing bonus to $500,000. Current international signing regulations assess only a 75 percent tax for less than a 5 percent overspend, building to a one-year prohibition on bonuses above $250,000 for overspending the pool by at least 15 percent.

While the NFL has grabbed the headlines on the topic, the issue of concussions in Major League Baseball is being taken seriously. The concussion policy that was implemented prior to the 2011 season was improved as part of the latest CBA. As an example, all players undergo neuro-cognitive baseline testing during Spring Training or when they join a club each season. There are various assessment tools—both on the field and off—that trainers use to determine the level of a concussion, and based on that assessment, a player goes on the DL for varying lengths of time, to as little as 7 days or longer.
To try and address the matter further, the league has been working with Rawlings on a new helmet that can reduce the risk of concussions from pitches to the head area at speeds of 100 mph. As part of the new labor agreement, the sides agreed that the new helmet would be in place for the upcoming season, and be an upgrade of the bulkier ones first developed and tested by the likes of David Wright and were given the nickname "Great Gazoo" after the Flinstones character when they were initially tested in 2009 (see details and image, here) because of the bulkiness.
Now, the design has been improved and per the labor agreement, will begin seeing use with the start of this week's Spring Training exhibition games. The new S100 Pro Comp batting helmet will become the standard throughout Major League Baseball.
Approximately 200 MLB players elected to wear the Rawlings S100 Pro Comp last year before the league-wide rule went into effect, including National League batting champion Buster Posey of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
"Collectively with MLB and the MLB Players Association, we developed the Rawlings S100 Pro Comp batting helmet to provide increased protection for the world's best baseball players, while meeting their specific functional and performance demands," said Art Chou, senior vice president of product for St. Louis-based Rawlings. "The evolution of the Rawlings S100 product line clearly illustrates how we can deliver innovative protective solutions at the very highest level of the sport while still delivering high-performing equipment so these players can continue to play at their peak levels."
According to Rawlings the helmets are constructed of aerospace-grade carbon fiber composite, the new Rawlings S100 Pro Comp batting helmet provides technologically-enhanced protection for ball strikes up to 100 miles per hour. Earlier this week, the innovative Rawlings S100 Pro Comp helmet design was named a finalist for the Edison Awards in the category of material science-composites. The Edison Awards honors excellence in new product development and innovation.
The next-generation S100 Pro Comp is 300-percent stiffer and 130 times stronger than the traditional ABS plastic helmet that was the previous standard in Major League Baseball, yet features a significantly lighter and smaller design than previous S100 models that have been tested in recent years. The similarities in weight and size to the traditional helmet allow for a seamless transition to the Rawlings S100 Pro Comp for all MLB players.
"Protecting our players with the latest innovations in protection equipment is a top priority of Major League Baseball," said Dan Halem, Senior Vice President, Labor Relations, Major League Baseball. "Last year the Rawlings S100 Pro Comp received a great reception from the MLB players that chose to wear it, and we're pleased to take the next step and roll it out league-wide."

At 82, Earl Weaver has left the building. The Hall of Fame manager from the Baltimore Orioles passed away today of an apparent heart-attack and the baseball world is less for it. He was a brilliant manager, and colorful in ways that might make Yogi Berra blush.
His managerial record tells the story: His 1,480-1,060 record ranks 22 all-time, sandwiched in-between Clark Griffith and Bruce Bochey. His .583 win percentage is the best by any manager who started after 1960. He won four American League pennants—three in a row from 1969-1971-- and the World Series in 1970. The only time that he finished below .500 was 1986 (73-89, .451) his final season managing. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veteran's Committee as Manager in 1996.
"Earl Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball," said Orioles managing partner, Peter Angelos. "This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans. Earl made his passion for the Orioles known both on and off the field. On behalf of the Orioles, I extend my condolences to his wife, Marianna, and to his family."
Said Commissioner Selig of his passing, "Earl Weaver was a brilliant baseball man, a true tactician in the dugout and one of the key figures in the rich history of the Baltimore Orioles, the Club he led to four American League pennants and the 1970 World Series Championship. Having known Earl throughout my entire career in the game, I have many fond memories of the Orioles and the Brewers squaring off as American League East rivals. Earl's managerial style proved visionary, as many people in the game adopted his strategy and techniques years later.
"Earl was well known for being one of the game's most colorful characters with a memorable wit, but he was also amongst its most loyal. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I send my deepest condolences to his wife, Marianne, their family and all Orioles fans."
He was a man that loathed bunting and a strategy of station-to-station leaning on what Bill James would later make a cornerstone of many sabermatricians: don't squander outs. He was often quoted as saying, "pitching, defense, and the three-run homer" win games. "The only thing that matters is what happens on the little hump out in the middle of the field," he said. Before the use of computers had made their way into the front offices of clubs in the league, Weaver had a legendary card system of notes that he had collected over his managerial career. He used the notes to his advantage and was keen on knowing particular pitcher-hitter match-ups in which hitters that might be weaker over the course of a season might have a particularly strong pitcher's number. He knew his players well enough to know that some were weak or strong coming out of Spring Training, and adjusted for it. He knew his players, but rarely engaged with them. "A manager should stay as far away as possible from his players. I don't know if I said ten words to Frank Robinson while he played for me," Weaver once said. And his players often said the same of Weaver. Jim Palmer said, "The only thing Earl knows about a curveball is that he couldn't hit it," a reference to Weavers playing days. But, his system worked. The book, "Weaver on Strategy" is still a valuable read.
His rants with umpires were legendary, even if his physical stature wasn't intimidating (he was all of 5' 7"). Weaver saw his position of "getting into it" with the umpires as part of his job, not his players. "The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game," Weaver said.
Finally, one wonders if this Weaver quote will become a reality. "On my tombstone just write, 'The sorest loser that ever lived.'" I can see Weaver arguing with God now... "Whadda ya mean, I'm in heaven?!? Can't you see I haven't cross the line?!?! Get some $%&#@ glasses!!!"
Goodbye, Earl. Thanks for the memories (CAUTION: ADULT LANGUAGE):

Wife Carrying Championship
Results from the 2013 North American Wife Carrying Championship
Registration is now closed.
That's right, all 50 team spots have been filled. Still interested in checking out the event? Come visit us Fall Festival Weekend. There's plenty more going on in addition to the amazing peak foliage.
North American Wife Carrying Championship
The North American Wife Carrying Championship draws thousands of spectators to the grass-covered slopes of Sunday River each fall and receives world-wide media attention as teams compete for fame, fortune, and a chance to compete at the World Championships in Finland the following summer. The 14th annual North American Wife Carrying Championship is scheduled for Saturday, October 12, 2013.
Wife-carrying is based on husband-and-wife teams racing with the husband carrying the wife through a regulation length 278-yard obstacle course featuring log hurdles, sand traps, and the always popular "widow maker" water hazard. The fastest two teams from the qualifying round then compete head-to-head in a final heat. Competing couples do not have to be married, though they must be comprised of a man and a woman and both must be at least 21 years old to enter. How the wife is carried is the competitors' choice, though most use the "Estonian carry" where the female participant holds the male around the waist and tightens her legs around his neck, thereby freeing his hands.
The winning couple take's home the wife's weight in beer, five times her weight in cash, and an entry into the World Championship, which takes place in Finland the following summer.
Each year the field includes 50 couples with pre-qualification given to the winners of state or regional events. Public registration for the remaining spots in the 2013 event opens August 5, 2013.
Last Year's Champion Couple:
Congratulations to Taisto Miettinen and Kristina Haapenen from Helsinki, Finland, for winning the 2012 North American Wife Carrying Championship on Saturday, October 6, 2012. The four-time world champions ran a qualifying heat of 52.58 seconds, the fasted of the day, beating Maine natives Jesse Wall and Christine Arsenault. Taisto and Kristina took home Kristina's weight in beer and five times her weight in cash. Check out what they had to say about Sunday River's event in an interview for CNN's Situation Room. For a full list of competitor results click here.
About Wife Carrying:
The legend behind the North American Wife Carrying Championship is based on 19th century Finnish legend "Ronkainen the Robber" who had high qualifications for the men he accepted into his band. To prove their worth, men had to compete through a difficult course with a heavy sack (or woman grabbed from neighboring villages) on their back. The first modern day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1991 and foreign contestants were admitted in 1995. Qualifying events are also held in Australia, Sweden, and Estonia.
The course at Sunday River is built to international specifications at 278 yards in length with two dry obstacles and one water obstacle. The race format varies slightly from the World Championship in that there is no minimum wieght limit for the wife, and the winner is determined by a head-to-head final race rather than being determined only by the finishing time in the competitor's initial round. Additionally, the North American course is run on uneven ground with elevation changes, as compared to the World course which is predominently flat. Helmets are not required for the North American Championship.
The North American Wife Carrying Championship was founded in 1999 by Sunday River, which today is the organization that owns the event and serves as the santioning body for the United States and Canada to determine the North American winners for the World Championships. If you are interested in santioning a state or regional event to qualifying winners for the North American Championship please contact our Marketing Manager, Caroline Ochtera. For media inquiries, photos and video of past events, and press access please contact our Director of Communications, Darcy Morse. Additional information the sport of wife carrying is available on Wikipedia and Wife-Carrying.org.

Current & Upcoming Films
Presented by SF MoMA
Friday, May 31
As part of The Making Of…, The Kitchen Sisters and SFMOMA go offsite for two screenings at the Roxie Theater. Join local surf board maker Danny Hess and artist/surfer Jay Nelson for the classic 1971 surf film MORNING OF THE EARTH. Afterwards, filmmakers A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner launch the national tour of their lesbian utopian porn film COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER.
MORNING OF THE EARTH focuses on a group of surfers off the coast of north-east Australia, offering glimpses of them at home — in tree houses and farms — and in the water. Its subjects include Stephen Cooney, a fifteen year-old native Australian, and Rusty Miller, a veteran big wave surfer from Hawaii, who travel beyond their native territory to Bali in search of the perfect wave. A tribute to the art of surfing and the act of living in harmony with nature, the film features an award-winning soundtrack produced by G. Wayne Thomas, with music by Australian acts Tamam Shud, John J. Francis, and Brian Cadd. 1971. Digital. 79 mins. 8:30pm
10:15 p.m. Community Action Center, A. K. Burns and A. L. Steiner, 2010, 69 min., digital presentation. Preceded by Impact Zone, Kadet Kuhne and Sophie Constantinou, 1996, 8:40 min., digital presentation. Introduction and post-screening Q & A with Burns, Steiner, Kuhne and Lynn Breedlove.
Artists A. L. Steiner and A. K. Burns frame the sexual as political in their radical 69-minute portrait of queer eroticism. A multigenerational community of artists, friends, and lovers perform in a series of explicit sex scenes set in the realms of both the real and fantastic. The video appropriates the tropes of pornography for their comical value, critical consideration and as historical homage. In Impact Zone, Kuhne and Constantinou send girls and cars racing to the finish line, showing that girls can be, in the words of the filmmakers, "chock full of drive & risk-taking thrill at every turn."
About SF MOMA's Making Of… Project:
Meet Bay Area makers and artists featured in The Making Of… a community collaboration by award-winning radio producers The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva) and KQED. The Making Of... is a multimedia series about what people make in the Bay Area and why, capturing the art, creativity, and innovation happening in backyards, workplaces, cultural institutions, and public spaces throughout one of the most diverse and innovative regions in the country.
As part of The Making Of…, The Kitchen Sisters will host three days of drop-in demo and conversation tables at SFMOMA on Thursday and Friday. Eight makers each day will spend an hour presenting their work, process, and expertise, concluding with a daily maker's talk and gathering in the Koret Visitor Education Center.

I'm still recovering from a fantastic weekend with Gordon Uyehara. Hosting the course and having a house full of friends staying over meant it was a busy weekend, and I loved every minute of it!
Gordon landed in Edinburgh, after a very very long journey from Hawaii, early on Thursday morning. I took him on a little tour of Edinburgh to stretch his legs I was thrilled to have been blessed with a beautiful day after a week of rain. I'm not sure Gordon was so impressed with the Scottish weather, mind you, it was a bit chilly in the shade…. I showed Gordon the Castle, the Royal Mile (where we found a very aptly named restaurant), Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament & Arthur's Seat.
Friday was spent setting up the workshop which kicked off on Saturday morning at 9am. I'd asked Gordon to teach his beautiful Naupaka pendant after falling in love with it as soon as I saw it! The course was fully booked and excitement levels were high as Gordon started to demonstrate.
So off we all went to start on our own pieces. It was a challenging project, taking two days to complete but everyone did a great job. The concentration levels were unlike any Ive seen before in a workshop, with us all holding our breath at one stage or another as we joined the piece together.
On Sunday afternoon Gordon began to fire the pieces that were ready. All of them came out beautifully. The majority of us chose to oxidize the pendant after a brass brushing, to give it that "Gordon" finish. Here is a shot of most of the finished pieces.
I have always loved Gordon's work and I am so thrilled that he agreed to come to Edinburgh to teach for us. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a really memorable weekend.
All the pictures from the weekend are up on my face book Art Clay Scotland page which you can find here.

Colourswatch: The Paper Edition
I always like the feeling of sitting down at my computer to finally put all the ideas that have been running around in my head onto paper. Well, it's not really paper, but you know what I mean.
As our lives adjust to the many changes technology has bought, the whole paper-less thing, there is still something so visceral about writing a letter, sending a card, or making some notes in a book. I still have a huge notebook that I keep all my thoughts in, and try as I might, I can't really use a computer to do that. I always have little pictures, and doodles in the margins to remind me of what I was thinking (at that point in time). I used to be able to fully rely on my memory to keep all my thoughts intact but life and its busy nature makes sure I can barely remember my own name (let alone the names of my children who I constantly mix up) some days! So notes on paper it is.
I got a lovely handwritten note as a thank you for an engagement present recently, and I was so chuffed when it arrived in the post that I kept it on my desk. I went to the launch of Curio Noir's new candle Tobacco Nights, and Tiffany Jeans, who handmakes the candles, gave everyone a small handmade perfumed wax curio and a handwritten note thanking us for coming. Again, the little note is stuck to my computer, a quiet reminder of pretty, thoughtful things in a busy world.
So all of that got me thinking. Added to that, a brilliant book arrived for me to review, and it sort of pushed me in the right direction for this month's COLOURSWATCH. This month is all about paper. We are covering books, art, paper-mache, and wallpaper.
A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of going along to the Glassons opening on Queen Street in Auckland. They have really taken a step up with their clothing, and with their newly re-vamped flagship stores in both Queen Street and Newmarket. Look out Dunedin, you are about to get the makeover treatment soon. So I got to look at the two things I love: design and fashion – all in one place. The two things that caught my eye were the pretty vases from Anthropologie in the US (just because I LOVE them), and the paper-mache heads on the walls. After a little bit of digging around by other people (Anna-Lise at Showroom 22) I got to find out who actually made them. Delia Burke is an escapee from Northern Ireland now living on our fair shores. She has just moved up from Nelson to Auckland, and we here at Thread.co.nz think she is fabulous. Each of the heads are handmade by her. I am always a sucker for the handmade process as opposed to the mass made – each thing is a little different when handmade, so what you own is unique. You have to love that. The heads range in price from $300-$450 with her starting to make some smaller ones soon around the $100 mark. Please note each piece is bespoke, and made to order. Her contact details are email@example.com. And have a look at the ones in Glassons Queen St next time you are in; the heads are covered in pages from antique books, and some of them are a bit racy.
While we are on the subject of art, Beatrice Carlson's new exhibition at the Letham Gallery is a bit of an eye opener. Truly a multimedia exhibition with Carlson working in photography, digital painting, etching and printing. The exhibition is running from 8th – 24th June at the Letham Gallery in Ponsonby. It is worth a look… especially for the splashes of colour. Featured above is the limited edition print, Point of View $1150.
We can't really look at paper without the obvious use – wallpaper. I am so incredibly happy that wallpaper is being used so much at present. It is a good counter foil to flat colour and gives you texture and pattern ON THE WALLS! What is not to love? This month we are featuring the handmade Sparrow in Blue by Catherine Martin for Porters Paints. The dirty sky blue is just gorgeous and would work well with soft white walls and joinery. You could easily use this on just one wall, at the head of a bed for drama and colour. It comes in 10.5m rolls, 530mm wide with a 508mm pattern repeat. As it is handmade, it takes approx 3 weeks to arrive and is $308 a roll. Happiness on a roll of paper. Find PORTERS at 90 Anzac Ave Auckland City, ph 377 6008 or www.porterspaints.co.nz
When Madeleine (now 15) was a baby, Saturday mornings were my lie-in days. It was pretty much the only lie-in I ever got, so I would hide under the covers for as long as was possible. My husband Mark would keep her occupied with walks in Queens Park as a rule, as we lived in London. One morning I woke up to her shrieks of laughter in the next room and this strange ripping sound. It went on for quite a while until I just had to get up and find out what the noise was about. I walked into the lounge to find Madeleine waist-deep in ripped newspaper and Mark merrily sitting there watching her ripping The Times into long strips. It was a gorgeous moment between father and daughter but I could instantly see what the problem would be. I quietly walked over to her and put a storybook in her lap and she just picked it up and ripped the page in half. Oops! We had to change every book she had to cardboard pages so she couldn't rip them… So imagine my delight when we got a book called Cut Up This Book by Emily Hogarth in the mail recently. A book you can really cut up!
The author, Emily Hogarth was studying textiles at Edinburgh University when she started using paper to make her sharp, bold stencils for screen-printing. Her paper cutting has just evolved from there and she now integrates her unique designs into illustrations and graphic design. This book is not for the clumsy or someone who likes to finish projects quickly, this is a book that requires time, and precision but it is most certainly worth the effort. From artworks, to greeting cards, gift tags and keepsakes – this book has it all. I particularly love the tree and window decorations, as they remind me of the ones my parents have from my childhood, as my Danish Godparents sent them each year to us… and I still love them now. You will have to start off slowly with this book, and carefully, as you will be using a scalpel blade. The book supplies the templates to cut, and even the card as well – and hopefully after you have cut up the WHOLE book, you can get on to doing your own designs. Cut Up This Book by Emily Hogarth is distributed by New Holland Publishers. It retails for just $24.99 and is available now.

Deepest pockets I have found so far and all the way around, not just the corners. Fits my pillow top deep mattress perfectly. Nice heavy weight. Love them. Wash nice. I have had no issues with pilling or anything that others seem to have.
Our mattress is 16 inches and it is very difficult to find reasonably priced flannel sheets that are deep enough to fit it. These sheets are great. They recommend rinsing with vinegar before use. I followed these instructions and washed once again with detergent and liquid fabric softener. The sheets fit our mattress beautifully with room to spare. They seem thin, but the sheets are very soft and cozy. There is pilling, but I have pilling on all my flannel sheets. The sheets still maintained their size and comfort after a second washing. Although it recommends washing with cold water, I use hot for allergy purposes. The design is red, green, and brown flowers (they look black in the photo) and the colors did not run in hot water. They seem very durable. So far I'm extremely satisfied and plan to buy a second set. I will update this review in a few months if something changes.
The colors are very vibrant. That is my most favorite thing about these. They washed nice and didnt pill or the colors did not bleed! Good for cheap sheets!
these sheets are fabulous! they are so soft and warm. the pockets are extremely deep. the price was very good.
Gave these sheets to my wife for Christmas. She likes them very much. Told me that the same designer did the wall paper she chose for in our half Bath.
I have bought many items on o.co,but this is the worst purchase to date. These sheets will be garbage by the third washing - so thin. I also noticed that there are imperfections (skipped coloring ) in the design which make it look like 'seconds'. I would expect more out of a flannel sheet set that had a manufactures price of $***. These sheets are less than sub-par...very disappointed. The o.co price should be greatly reduced. I really have nothing good to say. Plus, the picture makes the dominant colors look vibrant - green, red and black...not so much. The black is really a drab brown and the background color is not white at all - it is a dirty beige. SAD.
I had not purchased flannel sheets in a very long time. I saw these and I liked the pattern so much that I decided to try them again. I am so happy that I did. They arrived on time and I immediately washed and dried them. I was so pleasantly surprised when I did not have to empty the lint trap in the dryer 3 or more times. It filled up the trap once. That is a very good thing. My husband and I have slept on them 2 nights so far and we both love them.
These are the most AWESOME Sheets I have ever purchased. I bought a set of the flannel made by "XXXXXXXX" and another regular set 2 years ago. They are the ONLY sheets that I have been able to find that will fit my over sized thick King bed. The best part is they stay on! I will only be purchasing these from now on. I hope that they keep making them! :) You won't be dissapointed if you purchase them.
I bought this set because I liked the pattern. A lot of flannel sheets have goofy patterns on them. The fitted sheet, because it's made to fit an extra deep mattress, was a little wonky to put on. But the bigger problem was that one corner seam was nearly completely ripped out. I would expect better from sheets that I spent nearly $** on.
I think these are good quality sheets for the most part - they're soft and don't pill so far -- my biggest complaint is that the fitted sheet is now a a pink background rather than white. This is not due to the laundry since the top sheet is still white - it's due to sleeping on them. It's disappointing because they are pretty, soft and thick. I'd still recommend them, but with the caveat that they will not remain white.

The Place of Antipsychiatry and Radical Therapy
At least as important to feminist assessments of psychological expertise were the movements known as "antipsychiatry" and "radical therapy," which distilled general criticisms of experts as antidemocratic schemers and servants of power into specific indictments of clinical practices and professionals.[35] Centered around the theoretical writing of Thomas Szasz and R. D. Laing, antipsychiatry erased any remaining distinctions between psychological knowledge and politics by holding that the former merely presented the latter in mystified form.[36] Antipsychiatry suggested that psychiatry was politics—not medicine, humanitarian assistance, or anything else. Mental health and
illness were thus labels convenient for protecting existing social arrangements and shielding political repression from effective resistance.
Antipsychiatry turned the historic rhetoric of the "helping professions" entirely on its head. Instead of leaders in the cause of humanitarian progress, psychiatrists and other psychological experts were malevolent conspirators who scapegoated people unfortunate enough to be labeled socially different due to their (nonwhite) race, (female) gender, (homo) sexual orientation, or (impoverished) economic status. Instead of an enviable state of health, sanity designated a pitiful state of adjustment to the alienated conditions of modern existence. Instead of helpless and tormented sufferers, patients were people whose social circumstances placed them at odds with the status quo. However socially unacceptable and personally calamitous, "freaking out" was a way of speaking out.
Indistinguishable from deviance, mental anguish evaporated as a reality and became, in Szasz's famous phrase, a "myth." Much of this critique rested on a conventional, severe distinction between body and mind, between medicine and the healing of souls. Szasz, for example, held that psychiatric work bore no resemblance at all to that of other physicians, who treated actual bodily illnesses. In sharp contrast to the medical challenges of genuine disease, psychiatric clinicians encountered rage, fear, stupidity, poverty, and a variety of other problems in living. Confusing existential quandaries with sickness disguised moral and ethical dilemmas as medical problems and undermined personal responsibility by leading people to believe that they did not control their own behavior when, to a large degree, they did, at least according to Szasz. "It behooves us," he wrote, "to discriminate intelligently and to describe honestly the things doctors do to cure the sick and the things they do to control the deviant."[37]
Szasz was unequivocally hostile to all forms of involuntary intervention (i.e., commitment procedures) and to the growing power of psychiatry in the legal system (i.e., insanity pleas). He warned that measures equating criminality with mental illness would "convert our society from a political democracy to a psychiatric autocracy."[38] Such views led him to oppose all welfare state programs on the grounds that they eroded individual freedoms. For example, Szasz called the policy of community mental health "moral Fascism" and argued that liberty was an absolute value, whereas mental health (whatever it was) was not.[39] Except for these libertarian strands of his thought, which en-
deared him to right-wing ideologues and organizations, much of Szasz's critique was shared by leftists, and it was on the Left that most of antipsychiatry's support was located.
In the view of British countercultural psychiatrist R. D. Laing, psychiatry appeared to be as controlling as it was for Szasz, but madness was much less wicked. In fact, breakdown dissolved into breakthrough in the more extreme statements of Laing's antipsychiatric position toward the end of the 1960s. Early in the decade, he had claimed that psychosis resulted from two things: first, a rupture between self and social (especially familial) context and, second, a perception of the resulting abnormality by a psychiatric expert assumed to be capable of making such judgments. "Sanity or psychosis is tested by the degree of conjunction or disjunction between two persons where the one is sane by common consent."[40] In spite of his desire to offer a theoretical explanation for schizophrenia, Laing stressed the ultimate incomprehensibility of madness, the lonely gulf necessarily separating the experience of one human being from the next. By the end of the decade, Laing turned away from the effort to grasp what was really a tragic existential distinctiveness and instead promoted a highly romanticized version of that difference in subjective experience. The reinterpretation converted schizophrenia into a mode of prophetic transcendence and healing in a society gone haywire, "one of the forms in which, often through quite ordinary people, the light began to break through the cracks in our all-too-closed minds."[41]
The central theoretical works of antipsychiatry were not intended as feminist statements and all of the movement's major thinkers were men. It is nevertheless easy to see the exquisite fit between feminist denunciations of conventional gender expectations and the antipsychiatric assumption that what passed for mental anguish was a product of exploitation and alienation.[42] The emerging outlines of feminist social thought dovetailed neatly with the core propositions of antipsychiatry: that the medical establishment had inappropriately usurped authority over vital social issues, including gender and sexuality; that psychotherapeutic practice harmed women by teaching that their problems were personal and intrapsychic rather than social and relational; that the neutral language of testing, diagnosis, and treatment concealed clinicians' complicity with male domination and their determination to make women adjust to sexism; that "mental health" was nothing but shorthand for gender conformity; that faith in experts (especially male ex-
perts) was counterproductive because experience—not expertise—imparted deserved authority. Only women could liberate themselves.
Radical therapy was an activist analogue to antipsychiatric theory. It consisted of a loose alliance between Left-leaning professionals, former mental patients, and radicals interested in psychotherapy. It appealed to large numbers of women (just as conventional psychotherapy had) and frequently addressed issues being debated within feminist circles, from sexuality to self-defense.[43] It emphasized that while mental disturbance was fictive, sexism, and other types of oppression, were quite genuine. In his 1969 "Radical Psychiatry Manifesto," Claude Steiner wrote,
Based on a thoroughly negative appraisal of psychotherapy's political function and worth, radical therapy nevertheless retained a kernel of hope that therapeutic practice could, if revolutionized, expedite both personal liberation and social change.[45] This coincided with the majority view among feminist critics, such as Bart and Chesler, that while psychotherapy as it existed was bad, abolishing it entirely might be worse.[46] "Feminist therapy," they agreed, was preferable, even if it was difficult to define beyond the obvious: it would be emptied of objectionable sexist biases but still capable of offering help and insight to women in pain.

In 1972, Obama´s model for presidential leadership, Richard Nixon, kept the Watergate break in and other illegalities well hidden. But events, from a plane crash that killed one of his WH hush money couriers to the disclosure of secret taping of all his conversations, soon unraveled Nixon´s well run coverup. The disgraced Nixon resigned just 2 years after his landslide reelection.Obama´s almost identical authorization and subsequent coverup of illegal acts in F&F are slowly, grudgingly coming to the surface. The key difference this time is that while the NY Times and WaPo hated Nixon, these papers and the TV news media worship Obama. So, there are no Woodward & Bernsteins seeking the facts from an Obama WH "Deep Throat", no matter how lucrative it could be. Sadly, if someone in the WH or FBI was willing to disclose the facts, today´s NYT would run smear pieces, disclosing his/her name, rather than investigating.F&F, the 30+ Solyndra scandals, the Benghazi lies and much more should eventually coalescence into impeachable offenses that even some Democrats will find troubling.

#6, points well taken.Can´t help but recall also what happened after the "Saturday Night Massacre"which was in October 1973.When Nixon moved to save himself by firing Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox,a new hue and cry went up from liberoid circles..."Impeach the Cox-sacker!"Ahhh, those days of wit and erudition.Today everyone is so crude... s/o(I was in DC during Watergate and played a very minor role here and there.But a favorite movie marquee from that place and era was on the theater half a block from Nixon´s White House, across 15th Street from the Treasury Building.The movie listed on the marquee was..."Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia"headlined in black letters.Beneath it in red letters..."Free Vomit Bags!" ...

Paul Eckerstrom, Co-chair of "Start our State" movement, to speak at Democrats of Greater Tucson
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011Tucson attorney Paul Eckerstrom, Co-chair of the Start Our State (SOS) campaign to separate Pima County from the State of Arizona will be speaking at Democrats of Greater Tucson (DGT) on April 4.
This political committee started in late February and has been reported extensively on by Tucsoncitizen.com blogger/attorney Hugh Holub ("View from Baja Arizona"), who is somewhat credited with this idea of promoting the formation of a Southern Arizona state, tentatively called "Baja Arizona". Click here (http://tucsoncitizen.com/view-from-baja-arizona/2011/02/25/americas-51st-state-movement-starts-to-free-baja-arizona/) for one of Hugh's first blogs on this subject.
Eckerstrom is a former Chair of the Pima County Democratic Party.The other SOS Co-chair is Peter Hormel, another attorney activist in Tucson who was once a Green Party of Pima County candidate for Pima County Attorney, and the Treasurer is attorney David Euchner, former Chair of the Pima County Libertarian Party. These three local attorneys, from each of the 3 parties are leading the way in this "separation for equal representation" movement.
To establish a new state in Southern Arizona free of the un-American, unconstitutional machinations of the Arizona legislature and to restore our region's credibility as a place welcoming to others, open to commerce, and friendly to its neighbors.
(from the SOS website)
Websites: http://startourstate.com/, and http://www.facebook.com/startourstate (with 3245 "likes" so far). Donations can be sent to "Start Our State", P. B. Box 308, Tucson 85702 or online via Paypal, email is email@example.com. "Free Baja Arizona" bumper stickers are for sale as well.
I heard Paul speak at Drinking Liberally (at The Shanty) on February 27, and about 30 people in the bar agreed that they no longer wanted to be associated with the conservative Arizona legislature. One fellow said that the current situation felt like "taxation without representation" because the current legislators did not represent the interests of the tax paying people here in Pima County.
And here's Paul being interviewed on KUAT TV Channel 6 on March 11: http://www.azpm.org/politics/story/2011/3/11/1830-is-baja-arizona-for-real/
If you want to hear about this movement to separate/secede from the State of Arizona which has gotten a lot of media coverage (even nationally), log onto their website, read Hugh Holub's numerous articles, and/or go to DGT on April 4.
DGT meets at the Dragon View Restaurant, 400 N. Bonita (between W. St. Mary's Road and W. Congress) on Mondays at high noon (except holidays). Chinese buffet lunch costs $8.50 including drink & tip, or just $2.50 for a drink.

It's the first Friday of Lent and that can only mean one thing in Wisconsin. It's fish fry time.
More than 700 people packed the cafeteria at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Merrill to enjoy, what they call, the best fish fry in Central Wisconsin. A title Father Mike Mclain says was earned because of their special batter recipe. Only one person knows that recipe and he's not willing to share. The recipe is in such demand, however, that St. Francis actually supplies batter for other parishes fish fries. But the batter is not the only thing that makes this fish fry special.
"Everybody here is willing to serve everybody else. We've got kids in the confirmation program, the older adults, people who aren't even members of the church itself and it's just a great opportunity," Father Mclain told NewsChannel 7.
Around 40 volunteers serve more than 1,000 pieces of fish and 2,000 shrimp throughout the evening. Of course, you can't forget those fish fry sides like coleslaw, rye bread and fresh French fries. There's no better way to finish off the meal than with a homemade dessert.
This is the 10th year St. Francis Xavier has hosted a Lenten fish fry. They serve every Friday during Lent from 4:30PM to 7:30PM. They also take carry out orders starting Fridays at 1:00PM and home delivery is available for those living in the Merrill area.

A federal judge in Miami wants to know how the defense plans to go forward in the trial of an elderly Muslim cleric accused of supporting the Pakistani Taliban.
Witnesses for 77-year-old Hafiz Khan began to testify earlier this week via live video feed from Pakistan, but that ended when the transmission was mysteriously cut off. Alternatives included moving the witnesses to the United Arab Emirates and having some of them travel to the U.S. to testify.
U.S. District Judge Robert Scola is holding a hearing Friday on the issue. The trial itself is scheduled to resume Tuesday one way or the other.
Khan is accused of funneling some $50,000 to the Pakistani Taliban terrorism organization. Khan's defenders say the money was for innocent purposes.

Carlos Salazar
Number | Position | DOB | Ht | Wt | Nationality | Hometown | Previous Club |
14 | M | 07/1/81 | 5'9" | 160 lbs | Colombian | Cali, Colombia | Tauro FC (Panama) |
2013: Following stops in Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Chile, Iran and Panama, journeyman Carlos Salazar added the United States to his list of places played, signing with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on March 25, 2013. The attacking midfielder selected the number 14 jersey.
Salazar made his debut for the Strikers in the 1-1 draw against FC Edmonton in the opening match of the 2013 season. He captained the team for the first time on May 26 against FC Edmonton and scored a penalty in the 1-0 away victory.
Salazar scored his second goal from the penalty spot on August 19th in the 6-2 win over Atlanta. He went on to score in the next two matches (10/26 in Minnesota and 11/2 vs. Edmonton).
Salazar finished the season with four goals in 17 league appearances. He made 13 starts and also tallied an assist.
Professional: Salazar has played in no less than six different countries prior to joining the Strikers. He started his career in native Colombia with Deportivo Cali, before stints with Atlético Bucaramanga and Deportivo Pereira. In 2006 he signed with his first team outside of Colombia, Alajuelense of Costa Rica.
Following a single season in Costa Rica, Salazar returned to Colombia with Deportivo Pasto before brief stints in Venezuela and Chile with Zamora and Colo-Colo, respectively. In 2008 Salazar returned to Colombia, signing with Atlético Huila.
In 2009, Salazar had a trial with Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer, but did not join the club. Instead, he signed in Iran with Mes Rafsanjan, and later Mes Kerman.
Salazar rejoined Deportivo Pereira in 2012, before linking up with Tauro FC in Panama.
International: Salazar has earned 17 caps for the Colombia U-23 national team, and scored 3 goals.
