Fancy food trucking
Blocks from PBA, Curbside Gourmet serves sophisticated meals at a reasonable price.
Tender pork is marinated in a tangy mojo seasoning. It is then added to a soft taco shell. The taco is topped with chunks of tomato, corn, and scallions and served with a lemon wedge on the side.
Also on the menu, are crab cake sliders, basil zucchini soup and mahi tacos with mango salsa. This is not your local sit-down restaurant. This is gourmet food truck, Curbside Gourmet.
Curbside Gourmet is the first of its kind in West Palm Beach. "There is something fun about going to a mobile kitchen and getting a fast meal," says owner Mary Brittain, "It's a different experience".
Gourmet food trucks don't serve your average street food. "There is a difference between a food truck and gourmet food truck," says Curbside Gourmet chef Mathew Somsy.
Jochen Esser, organizer for Gourmet Truck Expo, has seen simple dishes like pizza, hamburgers, and fries to more elaborate dishes like alligator, frog legs, and dishes that contain Kobe Beef on gourmet food trucks. The Gourmet Truck Expo specializes in creating food truck events in South Florida.
Brittain describes Curbside Gourmet as "sophisticated meals in a simple environment."
"The ingredients are really fresh and the price is reasonable," says Derek Garrett, Curbside Gourmet customer.
According to National Restaurant News, a food truck's menu is just as important as its brand. Brittain considered this when designing the food truck with local graphic designer Hillary Jordan.
"We didn't want to be an eye sore on the side of the road," Brittain says.
As for the food at Curbside Gourmet, most of it is prepared in a local commercial kitchen the morning of, loaded on the truck and the meals are made to order. If ingredients are forgotten, and are then not available on the truck, the chefs make the dishes work to satisfy the customers. "Everything must be on the truck when we leave; if not we have to go without," Somsy says.
The space on the truck is much smaller than a normal restaurant. The three-person crew, consisting of two professional chefs and a cashier, maneuver around each other during the lunchtime rush.
Somsy says the atmosphere is "hectic, but rewarding when people tell you how good the food is."
Some may worry about the cleanliness of eating from a food truck. However, food trucks must pass a rigorous inspection before being allowed to sell food.
"We had to get a lot of permits," says Brittain. Both state and county permits are required and every worker on the truck must have a cooking license.
Food trucks in Florida are under the same rules for cleanliness and safe food handling as regular restaurants.
Gourmet food trucks began in Los Angeles and have become a popular sight in South Florida. "Part of the popularity certainly is caused by pricing that is very reasonable compared to some traditional brick & mortar restaurants," Esser says.
Curbside Gourmet is located on Dixie Highway near the old Carefree Theater and is open for lunch from 11 to 3:30. Curbside Gourmet also provides a discount for PBA students.

The No Fap Challenge is a challenge imposed by users on Reddit as a result of a study conducted and published, describing the relationship between ejaculation and testosterone levels in men. The challenge had, as a result, the creation of content such as comics and image macros and users posting their own progress to the challenge.
In March/April 2003, Jiang M, Xin J, Zou Q and Shen JW from the Science department of the J Zhejiang University published a paper called A research on the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men. The research consisted of 28 volunteers who were tested. The results of the paper suggested that "on the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline"[1].
On the 21st of June redditor Ridley posted the research abstract to the todayilearned subreddit[2]. The post received over 5000 upvotes, which was 58% of all votes as of 29/6/2011. The comment thread had over 2000 comments by users willing to take the challenge.
On the same day, the subreddit NoFap was created[3]. The purpose of the subreddit was to hold monthly challenges for masturbation abstinence.
Redditors' Response

Congrats to Texas's homegrown Glasstire, and founder Rainey Knudson -- National Arts Journalism Program members and alumni of the National Endowment for the Arts Arts Journalism Institutes awarded it the top, $7,500 prize in a national survey of initiatives. Finalists were featured at the summit earlier this month. Interactive digital magazine FLYP took second, and San Francisco Classical Voice takes home $2,500 for third. Glasstire is powered primarily by artists and curators, including SA's own Ben Judson (an occasional Current contributor and a co-founder of emvergeoning.com) and video collective The Prime Eights.
Go Glasstire!
Tonight, we're heading out to see local death metal thrashers Necurat (Romanian for "dirty soul" according to the always reliable urbandictionary.com) play White Rabbit's Night of Horror. The last time we saw them, lead guitarist Jesse Molov displayed some pretty impressive soloing skills (bonus points for vocalist Matt the Impaler's windmilling his hair so expertly; see the video above). Admission is $8 (all ages), and the doors open at 7p.m. Check out the flyer below:
Everyone, meet lala, if you haven't already. Sign up is free, and you can listen to any of their vast collection of albums once. I thought we'd use lala as a way to share and discuss some of our favorite albums, and since it's nearly Halloween, what better way to start than with the Misfits? Actually, I really wanted to start with Nick Cave's incredible and creepy Murder Ballads, but lala doesn't have it. Instead, we're going with Walk Among Us, technically the Misfits full-length debut, though they recorded a couple of other albums that would be released later first. For introduction purposes, it might be more appropriate to post Collection 2 because it includes their two essential "Halloween" songs and more songs from throughout their early, real career (they continue to tour without lead singer Glenn Danzig) but I like the songs on this album better. Also, if you're new to the Misfits, and not a pouty-faced teenager, 20 songs of their blend of proto-speed-metal and comic-book gore is probably a little much for one sitting.
But don't let the fear of turning into a goth kid stop you from checking out how insectoid nightmare "20 Eyes" plays like Kafka's Metamorphosis on an amphetamine rush. "I Turned Into a Martian" is a less successful exploration of the alienation themes from "Teenagers From Mars" (found on their first Collection), but the (pretty obvious) metaphor doesn't matter as much as the anger in Danzig's voice. "Hatebreeders," on the other hand ponders the handed-down legacy of intolerance over a beat encouraging you to jump around punching strangers in the face.
"Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?" isn't so much creepy as it is an indicator that no matter how unhinged they sounded in the studio, the Misfits must've been a lot rougher live. "Night of the Living Dead," "Skulls," and "Astro Zombies" are great examples of the Misfits' most memorable trick disguising death and dismemberment in a catchy golden-age rock 'n' roll beat. Somehow the Buddy Holly through a blown speaker bounce of "Zombies" softens the blow of Danzig's vow to "exterminate the whole human race." You've got the Misfits, to blame for a million shitty psychobilly bands, but it's amazing to me how well the originals still hold up.
It's also interesting to note that despite the Misfits reputation for violent and Satanic lyrics (other songs on other albums, JFK attack "Bullet" for example, are more gruesome) only two songs "Mommy," with its oedipal strangeness, and "Skulls," from the point of view of a murderer collecting children's heads feature violence that's anything but cartoonishly exaggerated. Decide for yourself below though, and let me know what other albums you'd like to talk about.
You don't have to like him. You don't have to respect him. But you really can't argue with the price. Download Weezy F. Baby's newest mixtape, No Ceilings, for free at Nah Right, and let us know what you think in the comments section below. I'm a definite fan of Drought 3 but I haven't heard this and won't vouch for it. No Ceilings features Wayne rapping over the beat of Dallas's Dorrough Music's "Ice Cream Paint Job" and a Lady Gaga riff called "Poke Her Face," so this wil probably either be really weird and awesome or completely godawful. Let's find out together, shall we?
The reloaded Spurs took the court last night with a familiar
starting lineup that included All-Stars Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Michael
Finley, along with sharpshooter Matt Bonner and newcomer Richard Jefferson.
Facing Chris Paul and his upstart Hornets,
The curious presence of Bonner and Finley in the starting five, however, took me back to a conversation I had during last seasons playoffs with Graydon Gordian, who along with Timothy Varner runs 48 Minutes of Hell, easily the most on-point Spurs blog on the net. Prior to the Spurs-Mavs series, I asked Graydon if he thought a team with Bonner and Finley in the starting five could ever win a championship. After some shared laughter this is how he replied.
I dont think that this is the start of another championship run, said Graydon. Maybe Im wrong. But no there never will be a team, and not because Michael Finley and Matt Bonner arent up to snuff but because Michael Finley will be gone in the next couple of years. Matt Bonners a hard player to talk about because in some ways you look at the guy and you feel that he seems so limited in so many ways. I see why Pop has gained more trust in him. He is making his shots and has continued to do it all season. On the defensive end of the ball hes making stronger rotations. Hes not a great defender by any means but hes certainly improved in that area. Pop has always been a guy who likes to go with balance, who likes to have not necessarily his five best players as starters. He likes to mix and match so that they play well for a full 48 minutes so in some ways thats why Matt Bonner is out there.
So dont fret Spurs fans. Another thing about Pop is that he values corporate knowledge of the teams system above all, so other players will crack the starting lineup in due time. Hes also won a few NBA championships along the way.
Hey guys,
It's recently been called to my attention that maybe some of you would like to rip me a new asshole over my calendar pick this week, and haven't been able to. Our website isn't designed to accept comments in the Calendar section (honest, check it our for yourself), and I'm pretty sure it has never really come up before. But you can't taunt someone and not give them the chance to talk shit of their own. We're schoolyard bullies but we like to think we're, like, fair-minded (also good-looking but still approachable) bullies, so I'm reposting this week's pick here. Comment away:
Welcome, Backbeat Magazine, to San Antonios high-stakes local-music-coverage game. Folks will call us competitors, but we say youre really more like our brother in this unforgiving wilderness of cover bands, too-loud sound mixes, and hurtful, hurtful internet comments. Youre a brother we feel a strong sense of rivalry with, perhaps, but still a brother, and when it really counts, a brother we will not hesitate to tear apart with our big scary teeth the second we catch you so much as looking like you might be thinking about encroaching on San Antonio. You hear that splashing sound, Backbeat? Thats us, marking our territory. Our hair is hackled; now back away slowly before we rip your face off. All those local bands, the ones youve got playing your release party across three venues for the low, low cost of $6 per person Hyperbubble (above), Viet-Ruse, Education, not to mention the newly reunited Kylie Factor, Losing Streak, and the Martyrs?

Rhonda Kuhlman, wizardess of recycled finery and indie-arts booster nonpareil, has a short write-up in our main Día de los Muertos article, here.
But in soliciting quotes from her friends, I got some lovely ones that, unfortunately, we didn't have time or space for, but that I'd like to be out where folks can read them.
I get some mighty strange e-mails. I've decided to start sharing them with y'all.
Here's one. Boldface is emphasis mine, with my comments in parentheses and italics.
VOLUME IThe Knork
Knork Flatware was a sponsor and was used at this year's Wolfgang Puck American Wine and Food Festival in Los Angeles. And will be a sponsor at the New World Wine Food Fest in San Antonio November 10-15. We are finding that many culinary/catering events see Knork as a value to their participating chefs to know ahead of time that they can offer a wider variety of food items not just finger foods. And former Top Cheftestant Stefan Richters new restaurant Stefans at LA Farm in Santa Monica is using the full line Knork Flatware. And former Top Chef-testant Richard Blais is using it as well at FLiP the Burger Boutique in Atlanta. (Dude! I wouldn't put anything past Stefan, but I'm a little surprised at Richard).
Flatware hasnt changed much in the past one thousand
years, neither in design nor function. Until now. (What about the bendy straw? ...Not flatware, you say? What about...well, shit. She may have a point, there.)
Knork has been featured (Not "the Knork" or "knorks," but "knork," as though it's a one-word celebrity, like Madonna, or Seal. or Bjork! Bjork, meet Knork.Or would you, Bjork, prefer a spork?) on the Food Networks Unwrapped, Rachael Ray touted Knork as her new fave thing, been featured in DailyCandy and Thrillist and on the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch.
Can I send you a few samples?"Dine on the Cutting-Edge" (<--their tagline, apparently. I see no need for that hyphen. Much like I see no need for a dangerous, knife-usurping "fork plus." I may, however, need samples. Who's with me?)

Hey there, y'all. I done got two copies of the new Toby Keith album, American Ride in the mail, and considering even watching the above video for the lead single, which sounds something like a Glenn Beck stand-up routine you can line-dance to, made me simultaneously put a red-white-and-blue shotgun in my mouth and send my sister a racy Facebook message, I sure as tarnation ain't gonna listen to the rest of it.
So once again, you guys get the chance to win shit I don't want. To get your hands on a copy of TK's latest, just submit an essay of any length in the comments section below on one of the following topics:
-Why the Dixie Chicks must never, ever be forgiven.
-Why "putting a boot in your ass" has been "the American way" since the days of Benjamin Franklin.
-How to make three teeth look like six.
-How many beers you have to buy a horse to get it back to your double-wide.
-Charlie Daniels/Sarah Palin slash fiction. (Please do not submit this for the love of God.)
-Why Toby Keith is a pretty talented singer-songwriter who forever alienated liberal music critics with that ridiculous 9/11 song, and has now become a parody of himself by appealing to the worst aspects of his fanbase.
You can also submit an essay on any other topic of your choosing, just to prove to us elitist assholes that TK fans can actually write complete sentences.
The winner will be chosen Friday October 23, in honor of Gummo Marx's birthday.
For years, I had been hearing about the countless tented fields that make up the Round Top Antiques Fair, but I never seemed to be able to get organized in time to go. On more than one occasion, I felt like I had totally missed the boat when I saw friends returning from shopping the show with carloads full of French antiques and jewelry to hoard or resell. This year, my pal Danny Spear, owner of the Land of Was Antiques, made sure I got the memo, telling me, You have to see what happens in Warrenton on the last Thursday of the show. Its called Prom. Its like early Halloween in the middle of nowhere.
The Round Top Antiques fair (which encompasses the towns of Round Top, Carmine, Shelby, Fayetteville, and Warrenton) is basically the South by Southwest of the antiques world, complete with No Vacancy signs, people sleeping three-to-a-bed, dirt roads gridlocked with SUVs, and that priceless combination of muddy shoes, sleep-deprived faces, and a feeling of excited curiosity brought on by the invasion of thousands of fascinating out-of-town characters. In other words, if you sleep too late or turn in too early, youre sure to miss something of vital importance.
As instructed, I arrived at Marburger Farms just as the tents were closing on the last Thursday of the show. Fortunately, I managed to slip through the fence into Tent Gs Material Recovery booth, which had been rented by my friends Clare Watters and Martha Henry (as a design team of sorts, they recover vintage furniture with embroidered Uzbekistani textiles called Suzanis). I immediately headed for Tent D to find Danny and make plans for Prom. We agreed to meet in Warrenton around 9 p.m.
Marburgers extremely organized tents are famous for power-shopping Houston divas in search of the perfect diamond, and serious conversations about 18th- versus 19th-century antiques. While there, I overheard sound bytes like He has no idea how much she spends, and theyre his credit cards! And, She wants 18th, but she can barely afford 19th! Fabulosity, Texas-style. Over in Warrenton on the other hand, the word junk is treated with love and respect and dead peoples stuff is a popular topic of conversation - its also the name of a booth. More inevitable eavesdropping provided, She told me Im not selling well because my merchandise is stale. And I did have a lot of this junk last season, but someone will die soon thats something you can always count on.
I talked Clare into assisting me in my mission to solve the mystery of Prom. Arriving in the parking lot of Warrentons Zapp Hall, which houses more than 100 dealers and a beer garden operated by Royers Café (undoubtedly Round Tops coolest restaurant), we were relieved to see that there were, in fact, a number of people dressed in wacky outfits folks in angel wings, Venetian Carnevale masks, tutus, and towering wigs were all headed toward the sound of live music.
Once inside the compound of makeshift tents and permanent barn-like structures, we spotted Courtney Fakhreddine and Trista Stallings looking very camera-ready in bustiers, petticoats, and gobs of jewelry, sending text messages from an iron café table. Their look brought to mind Madonnas early years, only instead of spiked ankle boots, they were wearing the hand-painted cowboy variety.
Denton-based costume designers Phillip Howard and Judy Smith, went for a visually stimulating contrast with their outfits he channeled a cigar-store Indian, while she looked as if she were headed for a tea party circa 1905. When I asked if they would be selling any of their costumes at the show, Smith answered, No, we are merely spenders of money. After about an hour of people-watching and beer-drinking, Danny appeared. Did I lie? he asked me with a big grin, Isnt it fabulous? Indeed it was.
We noticed a trio dressed as what Danny described as saloon girls, carrying parasols to shield them from the moonlight. Gabrielle Dennis, Gemi Bordelon, and Ginny Gremillion turned out to be the perfect dates for Prom. Come take our picture in the outhouse! they demanded. There was a line of characters waiting to pose in the Junk Gypsies outhouse, which had been decorated with a disco ball for the evening. Speaking to these darling Louisiana girls, I learned that the Junk Gypsies basically invented the concept of Prom in Warrenton (the full name for the biannual party is Junk-O-Rama Prom).
Noticing the large quantity of top-notch party dresses being sold at the antiques fair, the Junk Gypsies (Janie Sikes and her two daughters Amie and Jolie) were inspired, and the trio devised a clever plan to repurpose them. We just wanted to give them a reason to be worn again, Jolie said of the frocks. I mean, theyre beautiful, and most of them were only worn once, its such a shame. I was in awe of her empathy for these gowns, and absolutely love the idea that a costume party was created to stroke the egos of the forgotten prom dresses of Central Texas (and its a fabulous example of recycling).
While some partyers were on a whole retro-Vegas-inspired trip (there were seven men dressed as identical Elvises that I didnt bother approaching), or looked like Mardi-Gras had exploded all over them, the Junk Gypsies seem to have inspired a distinct dress code I can only describe as Cyndi Lauper makes a guest appearance on Bonanza.
At 11 oclock, the party was still raging, with a band playing Footloose to a bouncing crowd in costumes that were beginning to unravel. Reviewing the pictures, I felt we had collected enough visual proof of this only-in-Texas affair, so we called it a night.
Day two was beautiful, a perfect day for wandering the fields, taking pictures, and talking to people without buying much. I dropped $40 on salvaged carnival ephemera, and $25 on a green Herman Miller chair. I met the Chandelier Queen of Atlanta, who (according to her) is very sought after, but let me photograph an area of her booth that wouldnt give away too many of her design secrets.
A booth called Skip 2 My Lu that sells cleverly reconfigured vintage jewelry looked like a collision of candy-colored jewels and weathered history books. All the necklaces were elegantly pinned onto mounted vintage photographs.
Jan Orr-Harter, of Hot Tamale Antiques, color-coded poppy paintings, rugs, and textiles, to create an ambience reminiscent of an artists barn, complete with hay on the ground.
Robin Brown, a Hill Country-based artist, took the idea of temporary space to the next level, with settees for her clients to lounge on and Victoriana elements adorning every inch of her booth. A constant influx of women tried on bohemian outfits from her clothing label, Magnolia Pearl. From a distance, the whole scene looked like a rose-tinted Stevie Nicks album cover.
Day three produced a grey sky that made vendors anxious about the always important last day of the show (most dealers drop their prices and successfully lighten their return loads). No one looked prepared when the torrential rain began around Noon. Did somebody order hay? I heard more than once as ranch hands dumped bails of it into rivers of rain that were creeping in from both sides of the tent. Rain also found its way in from overhead, somehow (I watched a crystal vase magically fill).
Dannys booth was somewhat of a disaster by Saturday evening, so I stuck around to lend a hand, unpinning an ancient tapestry from a temporary wall while teetering on a ladder, which was not so firmly planted in a puddle of water and muddy hay.
Last year, it was the wind. One of the tents lifted off of its poles and flew into the fields, trapping two people when it landed- they had to be cut out of it. Danny insisted. But this feels like the worst. Just then, we heard a loud pop as a soaked power strip killed the lights in a row of antique sconces.
With wine in plastic cups, wet clothes, and sudden fear in everyones eyes, I began to feel like we were aboard a sinking sailboat decorated with European antiques. Get the jewelry and lets get the Hell out of here, was our cue that Dannys most vulnerable treasures were safely wrapped in plastic and it was time to head to Julies Jewels, a miniature horse farm in Carmine, where I was lucky enough to be invited to wait out the storm.
Driving back to SA the following morning, the sky suffered from an identity crisis. Halfway home, my truck started to look clean again, and the whole South-by-Southwest feeling returned. I was completely exhausted and sad that everything was over, but had new numbers in my phone, new toys to play with, and a whole new list of things to laugh about. Im definitely going back.

If you dont know Os Mutantes (oz-moo-TOHN-cheese), do me a favor: go to Austins La Zona Rosa on Sunday, October 18, at 9 pm. Buy the ticket now, going to gettix.com. Trust me. I know, it's in Austin. But go.
If you know Os Mutantes, you dont need me to tell you who they are.
For years, it was the only thing I listened to, said Beck, who dedicated a song (Tropicália) and named an album (Mutations) after them. Kurt Cobain reportedly (and unsuccessfully) begged them to open for Nirvana in Brazil, and David Byrne (another big fan) released the first-ever Mutantes compilation in 1999 (Everything Is Possible! The Best of Os Mutantes, in Luaka Bop). That compilation was followed by Tecnicolor, a an all-English album recorded in 1970, lost, found in 1994, and finally released in 2000 by Universal.
The influential band (which mixes psychedelia, rock, bossa, forró and whatever else happens to be in their heads) has just released Haih or Amortecedor (co-written with the great Tom Zé), their first studio album in 35 years, and are kicking ass nationwide (last I checked, the old farts were number one in the CMJ charts, but who cares).
Sergio Dias (vocals, guitar) is the only founding member to be in Austin, and Dinho Leme (who joined in 1971) will be at the drums. Most of the others joined in 2006, the year the band revived (Os Mutantes had a first run in 1968-78): Bia Mendes (vocals), Henrique Peters (keyboards), Fabio Recco (keyboards), Vinicius Junqueira (bass), and Vitor Trida (flute, guitar).
On September 17, the Current spoke on the phone to founder Dias, who was in Henderson, Nevada.
"Save the boobies!" is the battle cry tonight at the 1011 for the Rockin' for Racks Breast Cancer Benefit Show. I'll be out there around 9:30 to see local folk/indie act Lonely Horse. I haven't heard anything around town that sounds terribly comparable to what they're doing, which according to their myspace is "Native American story music." I don't really know what that means, but I'm excited all the same.
Kuno Becker - From Mexico with Love
By Kiko Martinez
San Antonio Current contributing writer
After four years of running up and down soccer fields for the Goal! trilogy, actor Kuno Becker, 31, exchanges his cleats for a pair of gloves in From Mexico with Love. In the film, Becker plays Hector Villa, a young Mexican immigrant who gets into the boxing ring to support his family and prove to everyone that he has what it takes to win.
Were you much of a boxing fan before taking on this role in From Mexico with Love?
Well, I like Mixed Martial Arts. I followed a little bit of boxing, but it wasnt like Ive been following it since I was a kid. I check out as much boxing as I can. But, you know, this isnt a movie just for boxing fans. At the end of the day, a lot of people are going to be able to relate to it in different ways.
Compare the physicality of boxing to other sports youve played like soccer in the Goal! trilogy.
Its a lot tougher to play soccer and make it look believable. But in boxing, it was easier for me. I got injured a lot more in the soccer world. In soccer, I pulled muscles. I thought boxing was going to be tougher. During the fighting sequences everyone would get a little bit hurt, but it wasnt a big thing. It was a lot of fun.
What kind of training regiment did you have to go through for this movie?
I had to train for two and a half months. It was pretty tough. I had to gain weight and look a little bit more physical. I had to learn how to punch and make it believable.
Your director Jimmy Nickerson has a background in stunt work. Were you able to go a couple of rounds with him?
Yeah, 100 percent. He actually invented a device for the camera that you can actually hit. The way he shot the fighting sequences and with his background coordinating fights was really important for us.
What did you learn about boxing that you didnt know before you started shooting?
When you punch somebody in the ring, you have to use your whole body. I learned that its more about technique than physical strength.
What was it about a character like Hector Villa that made you want to take it on?
I wanted to take it because I thought the script was a lot of fun. It has a lot of great moments. I thought it was funny and entertaining and emotional and inspiring. Thats what I loved about the project. Also, what I loved about the script was that it was a simple story about a simple guy that was fighting for honor and his love.
In the poster for the movie youre pictured with one boxing glove with the American flag and one with the Mexican flag. Why is this important to show?
I think its important because there is a issue about immigration that is happening now. Its part of society. The movie isnt about that but it is used as a dramatic vehicle for the story. The cultural relationship between hard-working immigrants and society is important.
So, does fighting in this movie signify more than just boxing to you?
Yeah, hes fighting for his people, his love, his father, for himself.
What have you fought for in your own life?
Ive fought for getting better characters and working in this business, which is crazy. Ive been fortunate to work in this business, but at the end of the day youre always fighting for something.
How do you think youd do as an amateur boxer now that you have some experience?
Oh, Id get knocked out in a second. (Laughs) You never know. If acting doesnt work out for me, Im going to have to do something else.
If youve spotted the posters about town, you might be curious about the five-part musical lecture series entitled Geniuses of the American Musical Theatre, now lighting up the Josephine Theater on select Mondays. Co-presented by Herb Keyser and Bett Butler, Geniuses complements Keysers recently published history of musical theater, and features biographies interspersed with musical selections from an individual artists career: from Harold Arlen and Cole Porter through Stephen Sondheim and Lloyd Webber.
I was only able to catch the first part of Mondays one-two punch of Berlin and Gershwin, but the lengthy first actabout 75 minutes, before an intermissionallows, I think, a fairly accurate assessment of the series strengths and weaknesses. First, the strengths: Keyser obviously adores musical theaterhed give show queens anywhere a run for their moneyand his folksy enthusiasm and astounding memory absolutely command respect. Largely recalling his lecture while seated on a stool, Keyser traces Berlins life story from in utero to in uniform, while hitting every one of Berlins various tragedies and triumphs. (Its a lot like a Public Television special in that respect.) The evening is punctuated at crucial narrative intervals by Butlers exquisite piano playing and singing: shes the real thing, and I could have listened all evening to her stylings and her voice.
The series, however, desperately requires the vision (and strong hand) of a stage director. Keysers text, while amusing, is also resolutely, even monotonously linear: Berlins story in particular needs a ruthless editor and a greater sense of shape. (Theres almost no sense of argument, here: Keyser is happy to allow incongruous details to jostle against each other uncomfortably. For instance, after a virtual hagiography of Berlin, we discover, to our surprise, that Berlin was also a drug-addled, irascible paranoiac. How did this happen, we want to know? Few answers are forthcoming.) In fact, while Keysers lecture (and occasional, exuberant singing) could be profitably shortened, Butlers interludes could be greatly expanded: it was frustrating to hear only bits and pieces of selected songs rather than full verses and choruses. Geniuses are geniuses, in part, because of their superb sense of form and architecture, and one cant really appreciate the skill of a tunesmith without hearing the whole tune. In the case of Berlin, theres also the composers astounding facility with countermelody, and I wish that this aspect of the composers work had received greater attention: Play a Simple Melody is, after all, a model of its type.
Mondays audiencecomposed largely of members of San Antonios more mature communityobviously enjoyed hearing songs and patter from early and mid-century, and theres something to be said for the pleasures of nostalgia: I dont deny it. But I think the series would be only improved by less talk, more song. Especially when youve a chanteuse the caliber of Bett Butler on stage, its criminal not to employ her as much as possible: her voice is like the sun in the morning, and the moon at night.

I'm thinking of changing the name of Artifacts to "Aartvark." What do y'all think?
More importantly, SMART Fair is this Saturday. Here's my column about it:
Hey, who cares if the pointy-headed four-eyes over at Dailybeast.com ranked the Alamo City 53rd out of 55 in its list of Americas Smartest Cities? The Beast dont know us like that, yall (the accompanying photo to San Antonios rather snarked-out entry features a cadre of Battle of the Alamo re-enactors, btw hardly representative of our most innovative thinkers, verdad?) Were a helluva lot more intellectually gifted than we look. San Antonio might not boast as many graduate degree-holders as Louisville, Kentucky (?!) or as many bookstores as Seattle, but hell, thats not because were dumb. ITS BECAUSE WERE POOR. Artifactsd like to see those snooty types from Cambridge, MA assemble a Fiesta float out of detergent bottles, tissue paper and white-out, or throw an entire kids birthday party for under fifty bucks. Weve said it before and well say it again: rasquache is an exalted form of genius. And speaking of kids and parties, prove the naysayers wrong by heading to the S.M.A.R.T Fair this Saturday, where all day long, therell be food, drinks, art on display, and amazing creative activities for the whole family. The proceeds from this brainy artsy-smartsy cranium-a-thon will go to support Supporting Multiple Arts Resources Together, which provides numerous art-educational outreach programs, mentorships by local working artists, mural projects, and exhibition possibilities for our young creative hopefuls all year long. An ART city is a SMART city, and San Antonios got incredible potential as a center of challenging thought and action. Lets fund art development, folks; later well work on the bookstores.

Texas's homegrown arts-crit site Glasstire is one of five finalists in a national competition for nothing less than the future of the medium (check it out; that's not much in the way of hyperbole). Here's the press release; more soon. The first, second, and third-place winners will be announced October 30.
LIVE TODAY: The National Summit on Arts Journalism
explores future of cultural reporting
Outstanding examples of entrepreneurial cultural journalism
competing for $15,000 in prize money
LOS ANGELES, October 2, 2009 Today an ambitious, first-of-its-kind National Summit on Arts Journalism takes place 9:00 a.m. 1:00 p.m. (PDT) at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California. The summit will be streamed live at www.najp.org/summit and simulcast at 17 satellite locations around the world (listed below).
Conceived as a primarily online event, the summit is designed to promote discussion and draw attention to issues facing journalists and arts administrators, who are reinventing the coverage of arts and culture. As traditional media declines in the wake of the digital media explosion and as business models are reassessed, the summit presents and examines some of the most innovative thinking about arts journalism and its future.
Five project finalists have been chosen from among 109 submissions across North America in response to an open call earlier this summer for the best examples of entrepreneurial cultural journalism. In addition to demonstrations of these experimental projects, the days agenda includes moderated discussions and video seminars on the future directions of arts administration and arts journalism.
The summits online audience will be able to interact with speakers at the summit through Twitter, live online chatting and blogging. Viewers are being asked to post video responses on the summits YouTube channel, and elements of the online discussion will be part of the conversation on stage at USC Annenberg.
This is a real experiment for us, says Douglas McLennan, who co-directs the event with USC Annenberg journalism professor Sasha Anawalt. We figured if we were going to be talking about new ways of covering the arts, we ought to be trying new ways of conducting this conversation. Theres a lot of energy going in to reinventing arts journalism right now and we wanted to find ways of showcasing some of that creativity.
This summit is a new dynamic way to bring together remarkable and important creators, journalists and ideas, Anawalt says. This includes everybody those who submitted a journalism project for consideration, the presenters and speakers on stage, and anyone else who enters the summits virtual space curious to survey national arts journalism territory.
The summit is produced by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and the National Arts Journalism Program (NAJP) with significant support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
Competition heralds innovative arts journalism projects
Of the 109 submissions to the open call for projects demonstrating entrepreneurial cultural journalism, ten examples will be highlighted with video presentations on the day of the summit. Five of these ten are finalists in a competition to find the best use of new technology in the exploration of arts journalism. Each of the finalists have already earned $2,000, and the first-, second- and third-prize winners will split $15,000 in prize money courtesy of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
Online voting for the winning project will take place October 223 by members of the NAJP and alumni of the four NEA Arts Journalism Institutes fellowship programs American University (visual arts), Columbia University (classical music and opera), the American Dance Festival at Duke University (dance) and USC Annenberg School for Communication (theater and musical theater). The winners will be announced October 30.
The five finalists are:
1) Departures
Presented at the summit by Juan Devis, artist and producer
KCET, Los Angeles
Link: www.kcet.org/local/departures/la_river
Departures is an experiment in nonlinear community storytelling in the form of a multimedia Web site. The video is shot by KCET producers and students from partner schools in the neighborhoods, and users experience projects through multiple entry points and navigation pathways on the site. Departures suggests a different way of telling the stories of cultures that havent found a voice in traditional journalism. Artist Juan Devis has developed an interactive form of journalism that captures the diversity of life in neighborhoods.
2) Flavorpill
Presented at the summit by Mark Mangan, CEO
New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Chicago
Link: www.flavorpill.com
Flavorpill is a 21st-century version of the city guide, sorting through hundreds of events each week to make a case for the 25 events in each city its writers believe are worthy of attention. Flavorpill started as an e-mail publisher and has grown to thousands of subscribers and millions of dollars in annual revenues. Revenue comes from advertising, but Flavorpill has also developed an unusual business model allowing venues to set up their own pages on the Web site and write about their own events alongside the sites own editorial staff.
3) FLYPMedia
Presented at the summit by Jim Gaines, editor-in-chief
New York
Link: www.flypmedia.com
FLYP is an independent media startup trying to reinvent the magazine online, not just by posting print/image/sound/video content to a Web site, but by rethinking what digital storytelling and the next-generation magazine might become. FLYPs origins are anchored in the physicality of the traditional magazine. Text is important, but image, sound, and video also take turns in the lead. FLYP demonstrates that a general-culture publication can be a compelling window on culture. Its editor, Jim Gaines, was formerly chief editor of People, Life and Time magazines.
4) Glasstire
Presented at the summit by Rainey Knudson, founder
Link: www.glasstire.com
Glasstire is a Web site about visual art in Texas. The site is not a comprehensive report on the visual arts, but as critics have always done, Glasstire argues for a way of seeing art in a region that is different from art made elsewhere. Glasstire is almost nine years old, operates as a nonprofit, and has developed a core of 35-40 writers around the state, all of whom are paid for their work. Knudson says the site is stable and self-sustaining, with traffic continuing to increase. This is a model for arts journalism that should be replicated in other states.
5) San Francisco Classical Voice
Presented at the summit by Patty Gessner, executive producer
San Francisco
Link: www.sfcv.org
San Francisco Classical Voice was created in 1998 when prominent classical music journalist Robert Commanday feared that cutbacks in newspaper coverage would hurt the local classical music scene. His Web site offering comprehensive local coverage has become the go-to resource for finding out about artists, organizations and events. The sites professional writers include a mix of expert academics, journalists and artists. The site is a nonprofit, self-sustained by local donations from foundations, corporations and individuals, and by selling ads and memberships.

Protect Your Players From the Sun
Arm your players with the right sun protection to ensure that damaging rays don't cut short their time on court or compromise their health. Both UVA and UVB rays can lead to skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, and most doctors agree that sunscreen should be at least SPF 30 and protect against both types of ultraviolet rays. And for best results and the best protection, sunscreen should be reapplied often during prolonged sun exposure. Check the labels for specific protective ingredients.
Dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad, founder of Murad Inc., developed a line of specialty skin care and sunscreen products. Along with the UVA/UVB sunscreens found in the four Murad Age-Proof Suncare Products, there is the addition of pomegranate, which the company says replenishes and prevents moisture loss. Murad's Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30 (retail $25) fits the bill for more active pursuits. 800-33-MURAD; murad.com
Neutrogena Active Breathable Sunblock (retail $9.99) comes in SPF 30 and 45 and in addition to offering broad protection from UVA and UVB rays, contains silica powder that absorbs oil and allows skin to breathe. This lightweight, non-greasy covering is sweatproof, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic, says the company. 800-932-3025; neutrogena.com
The Bullfrog Waterproof Sunblock line (retail $7.99 to $9.99) offers several applications in SPF 36. The Quik Stick, Quik Gel, and Quik Gel Sport Spray contain vitamin E and Aloe moisturizers in addition to UVA/UVB protection. They are also non-greasy and non-comedogenic. 800-233-3764; bullfrogsunblock.com
The new Coppertone Continuous Spray Suncreen product line is available in an Ultra Sweatproof Sport formula SPF 30 (retail $11.99) for active players. It's oil-free, hypoallergenic, waterproof, and PABA free and provides a steady, non-stop application of product for complete coverage and protection, even upside down. coppertone.com
No-Ad Suncare products includes No-Ad Sport Sunblock Lotion in SPF 30 and 50. They're non-greasy, waterproof, and sweatproof, with aloe vera and vitamin E for extra moisturizing benefits. The bottles feature a no-slip grip along with the Skin Cancer Foundation seal. 800-327-3991; no-ad.com

harmon.ie Partners with Leading Mobile Security Vendors to Roll-Out First Secure Android App for Office 365 and SharePoint
With New Partnerships from Airwatch, Citrix, Good Technology, MobileIron, and Samsung KNOX, harmon.ie Demonstrates Industry Recognition for Secure Document Access
Boston, MA – September 17, 2013 – Rampant use of unsanctioned mobile apps for file sync and storage such as Dropbox causes huge problems for organizations. In fact, a newly-released study of enterprise workers found that a 41 percent of users circumvent company controls by storing corporate documents on unsanctioned, publicly-accessible cloud services. This translates into a huge number of 'rogue IT' workers who tap into unsanctioned services from their smartphones and iPads, creating risks for their employers.
If this wasn't bad enough, 50 percent of these new mobile enterprise devices are Androids1, which is "a primary target for malware attacks," according to a new US Homeland Security report. The same report finds that "Android is responsible for the vast majority of known mobile malware (79 percent).
The bottom line is that organizations that need to provide secure access to corporate documents and social networks via mobile devices are facing huge risks of data leaks and IT governance violations, if not business meltdowns due to loss of control. The previously-mentioned study of enterprise workers found that over a quarter of workers (27%) who shared a document using unsanctioned cloud service suffered negative repercussions, ranging from lost business to law suits and financial penalties.
harmon.ie to the Rescue
Good news! Secure document access problems are a now a thing of the past, because harmon.ie today has released 'harmon.ie for Office 365 and SharePoint' for Android devices. This new app is the first enterprise-grade, Office 365/SharePoint app for Android.

Breaking The Silence Against Molestation !
From few days I was observing that, my best friend seemed to be distressed and disturbed. The girl who was so lively and chirpy, now had a gloomy face. I asked her several times to share her problem but she was reluctant. But finally one day, she broke out in front of me and sobbingly narrated her story.
Since many days, one of our college lecturer was molesting her by passing unsavoury and innuendos remarks. Firstly she tried to ignore him, but he showed no signs of giving up, instead he deliberately tried to physically touch her private parts. He even threatened her that if she would not satisfy his sexual hunger then he would fail her in the annual examination. On hearing this, she was very frightened and tense. She knew that if she would share this incident with anyone then nobody would believe as he had a dignified image in front of the students and staff.
Saying this, suddenly she hugged me tightly and said that "Himadri..I trust you..as you are my best friend, I know..you would only believe me and bring me out of this gruesome situation..!"
For few minutes even I was speechless but then I consoled her. I motivated her not be a silent victim and advised her to take vocal stand against him as these harassers do not stop of their own accord, ignoring such conduct may be perceived as complicity, condoning and encouragement of the act. I held her hand and assured that I would always be there for her and encouraged her to raise voice against the harasser. After listening to my advice, she thanked me and promised that she would surely handle this situation courageously and tactfully.
The very next day my friend approached our lecturer. She daringly threatened him to stop his sexist remarks towards her, otherwise she would complain to the Faculty Coordinator about his delinquency and disrespect against females. If he still disagreed then she would file a criminal complaint of sexual harassment against him and would also report it to the local non-government organization working for Women Rights. Hearing this outrageous warning, that lecturer shivered in fright, he immediately apologized and promised my friend that he would never commit this mistake again and would always respect women.
Remember, whoever you are and whatever you do, you can definitely help to eradicate female molestation.
How fortunate your friend was able to draw courage and support from your friendship. In taking a stand, not only did she prevent her own molestation but perhaps the abuse of another student. This is definitely a situation when you said the right thing at the right time, in spite of what your profile says ;-). Am so happy you found PulseWire and look forward to reading more from you.

You were able to empower your
You were able to empower your friend and let her know it was okay - and necessary - to speak up. So many times, women in these situations are defeated by their own shame, even though they haven't any reason to be ashamed. What's happening is not their fault. I'm glad you were able to support her and let her know that she did not have to tolerate being mistreated.
A Great Friend...
You are an amazing friend, and a strong spirit for standing up to this obscene injustice. The world would be better off with more people like you. And, more people like your friend who are willing to speak out for their rights, and confront men who are abusive and worse. These acts of violence can no longer be tolerated. I hope that this teacher really did see the error of his ways, and may even speak out against gender-violence himself.
Thank you again.

You are the changing face of India
Dear Himadri,
As an Indian woman -- who has lived both in India and the U.S. -- I know exactly how different the two worlds are in context of women being able to speak up. The difference often is that when a woman is abused and or molested in the U.S. and she speaks out -- there is social agitation against the one committing the offense. In India it is the opposite. It is the woman who is socially ostracized by people in general. So it takes double guts for a woman in India to speak out. And just as much guts for her friends to stand by her. So I admire both of you in the stand you took. We need women like you to change India.
Rita Banerji
Silence is not always the best way!
Hey Himadri,
This is a common issue. Time and again, it becomes the headline of the newspaper in Nepal that a young girl is raped by her teacher. I hate this when it is a teacher or a lecturer who molest or rape because their job is to lighten the world with education. When people from such educated and respectful group do such unforgivable activity, from whom can we expect development and goodness?
Your friend proved that silence is not always the best way to solve problems. Women have the right to speak, so we should speak up against any type of violence. We have the right to "keep our heads up" as my teacher says.
Good job for protecting your friend from molestation! Keep it up!
Best wishes,

Imagen Estereo!: Geishas en un salón de té. Animated stereoviews of old Japan ::: Pink Tentacle
Many brands today are not equipped to live online. There is a discrepancy in how they are presented and how they work in the real world.
Steve Rubel's summary of the Le Web conference accounts for this change:
"One of the great untold stories is just how much Facebook and Twitter are growing off-site. Facebook announced they reach 60 million through Facebook Connect. Meanwhile nearly half of Twitter's activity takes place away from Twitter.com - they reported. Both platforms are quietly becoming a social operating systems for the web, not just their own sites."
Meaning often times, the places people first encounter brands are outside the control of traditionally branded platforms like their website, TV or print. Online platforms introduce a whole new set of rules for engagement that many brands are simply not equipped to handle. Consumers are increasingly in control. For instance they forced Tropicana to scrap their new identity in favor of the old one.
Rubel also notes that:
"Second, nowadays no two people see the same Internet. This was a key point that Facebook made saying that we increasingly discover online content not just by algortihms but via the "lens of friends." Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd brought this to life through rich, moving stories. Google's Marissa Mayer went a step further saying that the future of news is a "personalized news stream." This trend has major implications for marketers and PR pros who are accustomed to reaching everyone the same way - it's simply not possible anymore."
To that point, no two people see a brand in the same way. The new reality of brands is that their identities must account for changing platforms and preference. The challenge is to create identities that are both flexible yet constant. Brands like Uniqlo while consistent in form can be presented in English, Japanese or any other language. The same can be said for Nickelodeon's new brand identity. While "Nick" is always consistent the suffix that follows may change depending on the property or the audience. This allows the brand to be irreverent , silly and consistent all at the same time. In common both of these brands have a single form but the context in which they are experienced changes.
Brands of the future will consist of a visual identity that accounts for branded content distributed by a messy, fragmented, user-centric world. These identities will live as digital assets designed to create distinctive brand interactions.

BAB: Viking Baseball Season Begins Sunday
Feb 8th, 2013 @ 10:06 am | Author: Viking Sports Admin
Ronnie Blagg
The Viking's first games of the season are on Sunday at 4:30 PM and Monday at 7:00 AM vs. Clarke University (IA) in the Metro-Dome in Minneapolis MN. Both days are scheduled for two seven inning games.
VCSU Preview:
Overall the Vikings return two starters in the outfield two in the infield and two at catcher. On the mound VCSU brings back three of the top four pitchers in terms of innings pitched and starts.
Pitching Staff:
The leaders on the pitching staff last season were Ronnie Blagg (Sr, La Puente, CA) and Ryan Shaw (Sr, Cardale, MB). Blagg was 2nd in the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) in ERA and first in walks allowed (8) in 62.1 innings pitched. Shaw lead the Vikings in wins (5) and strikeouts (52). The weekend rotation will be filled out by Derek Zitzow (Sr, Valley City, ND), with newcomers Corey Pudas (Fr, Menahga, MN), Bryce Venaas (Jr, Fargo, ND) and Chad Lekiw (Jr, Selkirk, MB) battling for the fourth spot in the rotation.
Coming into the season Josiah Churchill (Sr, Winnipeg, MB) and Dan Buehner (Jr, Blaine, MN) are slotted to split time behind the plate. Churchill started 26 games at catcher a season ago while Buehner was limited due to a shoulder injury. Casey Clark (Sr, Plant City, FL) and Conner Blackburn (So, Lake Havasu, AZ) also saw time at catcher in 2012 and bring the Vikings depth and experience at the position.
The Vikings return two starters in the infield with Brenden Shearer (Sr, Winnipeg, MB) and Colin Waldner (Sr, Altona, MB) coming back from strong junior campaigns. Shearer is slated to be the everyday 1st baseman while Waldner makes the transition from 3rd to 2nd base in 2013. At shortstop Joey Demers (Fr, Grafton, ND) will be the opening day starter. Cliff Vazquez (Sr, Tucson, AZ) will be the utility man backing up both middle infield spots. At third base Anthony Myer (Jr, Fargo, ND) and Thomas Houdek (Fr, Grafton, ND) will both see time early in the season.
Preston Jensen (Sr, Valley City, ND) and Scott Stephenson (Sr, Ontario, CA) return as starters from the 2012 lineup. Stephenson will start in center while Jensen will move from right field to left for his senior season. Filling out the outfield is Mike Gershman (So, Beausejour, MB). Gershman started 25 games for the Vikings in 2012 splitting time between, 3rd base, outfield, and DH, but moves to the outfield full time for 2013. The role of 4th and 5th outfielder is an open competition between Cliff Vazquez, Conner Blackburn, Casey Gardner (Jr, Williston, ND), Kayl Hamre (Jr, Leonard, ND) and Robert Wiley (Jr, Covina, CA).
There are several options at Designated hitter for the Vikings in 2013. Casey Clark, Cole Honl (Jr, Moorhead, MN), and Brady Anderson (Fr, Jamestown, ND) are the leading candidates entering the season.
Top Returners:
Scott Stephenson ö SR ö 5-9 ö 180 ö OF ö Ontario,CA
Preston Jensen ö SR ö 6-0 ö 180 ö OF ö Valley City, ND
Mike Gershman ö SO ö 6-1 ö 175 ö OF ö Beausejour, MB

Anthony Myer ö JR ö 5-9 ö 185 ö INF ö Fargo, ND
Clarke University:
Clarke is coached by Dan Spain who is in his second season as the head coach. In 2012 the Crusaders finished 11-31 and in 9th place in the Midwest Collegiate Conference. They return most of their top offensive contributors including Nico Piscopo, Caleb Johnson, and Nick Woltkamp. On the mound two of the top four pitchers are back from 2012 with seniors Seth Wieman and Matt Lozano coming back in 2013.

Home Hacks for the Garden
Granted, it's not even March yet, but it's starting to look and feel suspiciously like spring around here in the Bay Area. And while we fully recognize that those in more severe climes may still be cranking up the heat and snuggling indoors, we're starting to give some thought to DIY projects for the garden. No harm in planning ahead!
The garden is a great space for DIY projects, since it's part of the home that's always in flux, in need of updates and refurbishing every few months. So for Home Hacks month, we thought we'd share some "garden hacks" from our archives. Pictured, from left to right:
First Row
• Annette's Modern DIY Outdoor Planter: This project, a succulent planter made from cinderblocks, couldn't be simpler or cheaper, and yet it looks so chic!
• Look! Front Garden with an Asian DIY Twist: Create a little hint of a Japanese mood in your garden with this easy DIY.
• Reader DIY: Futon Frame Turned Into a Garden Gate: AT reader Melodie created this super-modern garden gate with a found futon frame. Amazing!
• DIY Twig Garden Cages: Whip up these sweet and rustic cages for your vegetable garden in no time.
• Make Your Own Succulent Garden: These sweet and edgy succulent gardens will live indoors as well... perfect for conquering the endless-winter blues!
Second Row
• DIY Modern Planter Bench: A great look (and an easy project) for those who want a contemporary outdoor space.
• Before and After: Maria's Garden Bench: An ingenious way to turn craigslist chairs into an outdoor bench.
• Flickr Find: Canned Garden: Gorgeous example of using repurposed containers in the garden.
• Gutter Garden: Growing Your Food in a Small Space: If all you've got is an alley, you can still grow all your veggies using a few rain gutters and some ingenuity.
• Simple, Modern Trellis Idea for the Garden: A stylish, practical way to train vegetables or vines.
Got any garden projects planned for the upcoming spring? Please share below!

Man, I wish I had a backyard! I'm hoping to plant an herb garden on my front patio, and maybe a mini vegetable garden if I suddenly sprout a green thumb. I once killed a Chia Pet-- no joke.
Wow that salad greens wall is a great idea! We will have to try that out. Cheers. Double futon
The cinderblock planter is genius.
I just want the puppy!!!
Loving it.
Look really cool. One question on the first one... How did they make it so the dirt and plants don't just wash through the open cinderblock passages? I assume there is a bottom added to each pot, and it would be great to see how they did this! Any ideas?
Too bad I can't find succulents anywhere
The plants all look nice but the PUPPY steals the show! Squee!!
Every yard needs a dog. At least one dog.
