Followup: New location found for 2 of 3 businesses leaving Triangle building that will be home of Rudy's BarbershopJuly 30, 2014 at 12:24 pm | In Triangle, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 14 Comments

Two of the three businesses told to clear out of 4480 Fauntleroy Way in The Triangle have found new locations nearby.
We first reported Sunday night that Diva Espresso, Maestro Motors, and Ace 1 Computer Repair had been told by the new owner of 4480 Fauntleroy Way that they had to be out by the end of August.
Though the new owner, a SODO real-estate broker, didn't respond to our inquiry, we discovered a document on file with the city indicating that Rudy's Barbershop, long seeking a West Seattle location, would be the new tenant.
Rudy's has since confirmed that to WSB. But first – an update on the longtime businesses that have to move.
Just this morning, Maestro Motors' owner Richard Reed signed a lease for a spot barely a block to the west, where he tells us that Ace-1 is moving to, too. We found out the news while stopping by 4480 Fauntleroy to photograph him as part of our planned followup (even before we learned about the new location).

The other shoe has dropped following the sale of 4480 Fauntleroy Way SW in The Triangle – the three businesses in the building have been given notice to leave.
And a document filed online with the city suggests they'll be making way for a business that's been promising a West Seattle location for almost two years.
At least two of the existing businesses – Diva Espresso and Maestro Motors – are looking for new West Seattle spots.
Here's what we have discovered so far, following research that started with e-mail tips this morning (thank you!):

Admiral Theater's future: 'Ticking clock' forcing decision soonJuly 23, 2014 at 10:57 pm | In Admiral Theater, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 62 Comments

More than a year ago, we told you about the Admiral Theater's hopes of renovations to ensure the historic moviehouse's future.
It hasn't happened yet. And its management/ownership is acutely aware of a "ticking clock" sped up by the fact that – as they pointed out when we talked to them for the aforementioned story last year – film is going away as a method of delivering movies.
In a conversation with theater manager Dinah Brein, she explained they've already felt the effects. "Certain films weren't even made in (film) like 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' 'Dallas Buyers Club,' so we have to wait for it to go to DVD (before we can) show it." For some movies, that timetable is relatively fast – for some, it's not. And only one of the Admiral's theaters is DVD-capable.
The Admiral simply must convert to digital. (It's not alone, as continuing national coverage has documented.)
And for that, they have to have a commitment from the building's owner Marc Gartin that they'll be there for the long haul.

Terminal 5′s last cargo-ship call for now, after half a centuryJuly 23, 2014 at 4:32 pm | In Seen at sea, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 23 Comments
Moored on this murky day at the Port of Seattle's Terminal 5 in West Seattle, the Westwood Olympia is the last ship scheduled for a T-5 call TFN. After 50 years as a cargo terminal, T-5 will be idle once this ship departs. We reported last month on the port's plan to close T-5 while spending $5 million planning a modernization project, so that it can handle new mega-sized ships – but there's no plan yet for where the port will get the up to one-quarter-billion dollars the project will cost. Port spokesperson Peter McGraw tells WSB that "during the multi-year design and permitting phase of Terminal 5 Modernization, we will be working to attract interim maritime uses to this industrial facility." Meantime, while other shipping lines that used it are moving to other Seattle terminals, Westwood ships are going back to Tacoma after 31 years, with its first call there scheduled for one week from today.
ADDED FRIDAY: For the record, here's a Port memo about some of the terms related to the T-5 shutdown, as Eagle Marine Service moves on to sublease space on Harbor Island.

West Seattle businesses: Clementine moving to Pioneer SquareJuly 15, 2014 at 4:14 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 10 Comments

Linda Walsh has a clearance sale going right now at her West Seattle Junction shop, Clementine.
This isn't just any old clearance sale. It's also a moving sale: She's leaving West Seattle and moving her shop to Pioneer Square.
It's been eight years now since, in the early months of WSB, we noticed the "coming soon" sign on papered-over windows of what had been a tanning salon at 4447 California SW.
The shoes, handbags, and other accessories Walsh has sold in the ensuing years have received acclaim and attention citywide. Yet making a go of it as a bricks-and-mortar business in an increasingly digital world hasn't been easy, as Walsh and the proprietor of nearby Carmilia's, Linda Sabee, told us in this WSB story a year ago. Yet Walsh says she's not ready to give up on in-person shopping … after eight years, she says, she feels like she finally has a handle on how things should work.
But she's going to deploy the knowledge elsewhere soon. Walsh says her new Pioneer Square space at 310 Occidental (a former lighting store) just seems to be a better place for what she does and offers. Office workers will be there during the day. Tourists will be there during the summer.
Besides the location, her new storefront will bring a few changes – it's bigger than her cozy Junction space, including some basement. And Walsh will change the name a bit – it will now be Clementine's. (Her web address has always been clementines.com, anyway.)
In the meantime, the aforementioned clearance sale continues. She told us today, "I hope not to have to move a single shoe."
She also hopes for a seamless move to the new space without much, if any, downtime, intending to open there by early September.
SIDE NOTE: Hers is the second business to announce it's about to leave the block of California SW north of Oregon – as reported here two weeks ago, Shoofly Pie Company is closing in mid-August; no new location in this case – they say they're just getting out of the retail business.
West Seattle road work: Morgan Junction businesses still openJuly 8, 2014 at 2:01 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | Comments Off
(WSB photo taken this morning)
Just drove through Morgan Junction near the California SW paving zone. While the east-west part of the main intersection is open, unimpeded, right now, it's one lane each way in the actual paving zone between Fauntleroy and Holly, and that means no street parking next to the businesses on the west side of the street. On behalf of their business and others in the area, Second Gear Sports asked if we'd remind you (a) they ARE open as usual despite the road work, which is scheduled to continue until Wednesday evening, and (b) there's still other parking you can use while you're visiting the businesses – alongside/behind the Subway/Pet Elements/WS Vision/Starbucks building, or across California in the Thriftway or BECU ATM (etc.) lots.
Recreational-marijuana sales will start without a West Seattle shopJuly 7, 2014 at 10:18 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 72 Comments
The state has officially announced its first 24 licenses for recreational-marijuana sales starting tomorrow, but there's no West Seattle shop in the first group. But the one and only Seattle shop that's on the list isn't far – Cannabis City, 4th and Lander in SODO. So what happened to the North Delridge location that drew top Seattle spot in the state's license lottery, Trichome & Calyx, in the 3500 block of Delridge Way (where there's a medical-marijuana dispensary now)? Our partners at The Seattle Times report they're still waiting for final word from the state if that location is ruled out because of the Alki Beach Academy preschool nearby (which opened at 2414 SW Andover after the license application had been filed); KPLU's Gabriel Spitzer had first word last week via Twitter that the location might not work out. Other applicants for addresses in that block were the next-highest West Seattle spots in the lottery; if it's completely ruled out, the current dispensary site at 35th/Roxbury would be next up – we'll be checking with the state.

On the day he was due to answer the most-recent "unlawful detainer" complaint from the owner of the North Delridge property that holds West Seattle Athletic Club, its owner Sam Adams advised King County Superior Court that he filed for bankruptcy over the weekend.
We have confirmed the Chapter 11 case via documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's Western District of Washington.
The "unlawful detainer" complaint was first reported here two weeks ago, with court filings including a document in which club landlord John Pietromonaco alleged that he was owed more than $594,000 including back rent and late fees.

It's been a year since Massage Envy of West Seattle (WSB sponsor) opened at Westwood Village, and the anniversary celebration included tonight's WS Chamber of Commerce After Hours event (in a tent just outside ME, to enjoy the summer night without disrupting the massages inside). Every month, a different local business hosts Chamber members for mingling and refreshments. At right below is Massage Envy proprietor Jennifer McCollum with Chamber CEO Lynn Dennis:
As part of the festivities, ME has a food drive all week – just come in and drop off donations in the barrel for the West Seattle Food Bank, whose Judy Yazzolino was there during tonight's event:
Massage Envy also will be at the cancer-fighting West Seattle Relay for Life during its first few hours tomorrow night at West Seattle Stadium, 7:30-9:30 pm.
P.S. One more big benefit drive mentioned tonight – Stuff the Bus, the summertime diaper drive for WestSide Baby, whose executive director Nancy Woodland is president of the West Seattle Chamber Board. July 20th is the big day, in the parking lot of the Junction branch of HomeStreet Bank (WSB sponsor) at 41st and Alaska, but as mentioned here previously, you can start bringing in diaper donations now!

New West Seattle business: Emerald Water Anglers in The JunctionJune 23, 2014 at 2:20 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 34 Comments
The newest mixed-use building to open in West Seattle has its first retail tenant: Emerald Water Anglers is expecting to open by the end of this week at the southeast corner of 42nd/Oregon, ground floor of Oregon 42. EWA, founded in 1999, describes itself as Seattle's only full-service fly-fishing outfitter, with guide services as well as retail gear sales (including Patagonia). Here's another reason to visit their store:
Artist Chris Haberman is painting a mural inside the store today. He says it's meant to tell the story of the fly-fishing waterways of the Northwest. Haberman is based in Portland; this is his 35th mural, first one in Seattle. Meantime, we'll update when we hear which day Emerald Water Anglers plans to open the Junction store.
West Seattle real estate: Another Harbor Ave. site for sale; Fauntleroy Way followupsJune 22, 2014 at 8:50 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
A few notes about commercial real estate in West Seattle:
HARBOR AVENUE SITE FOR SALE: New listing for a one-acre business/industrial site just east of the Harbor Avenue 7-11. 2501-2645 Harbor, three buildings used currently for marine-related business, is offered without a listing price – "negotiable," according to the online flyer, which also notes, "Currently zoned C1-40. Excellent potential for apartment, office or mixed-use redevelopment."
FAUNTLEROY WAY FOLLOWUPS: Late last year, we reported listings for three parcels on Fauntleroy Way in The Triangle. All three found buyers, according to our followup check of county records: 4441 Fauntleroy, home to an auto-repair business, sold this month for $2.1 million to a Burlington company; 4480 Fauntleroy, home to computer, coffee, and car businesses, sold in April for $708,000 to a SODO investor; and the 4151 Fauntleroy strip mall sold in December for $2.6 million to a Bellevue real-estate firm. None of the sites has a current development proposal.
West Seattle biznote: Styling Studio closing to make way for 3210 California developmentJune 20, 2014 at 3:38 pm | In Development, West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 14 Comments
That little building at 3230 California SW is about to end its 40+-year run as a West Seattle hair salon, according to the proprietor of the one there now, Styling Studio. It was built in 1945 and is on the South Admiral site where work will start this year on the 134-apartment 3210 California mixed-use project. Styling Studio proprietor Robert Lopez contacted WSB to let us know June 30th is its final day. He says, "I tried to find another space, but negotiations fell through, and I've joined the staff at Belli Capelli, at 3902 California Ave SW, another longtime West Seattle hair establishment."
3210 California's land-use approval came in a month ago, as reported here; this week, its developer, Intracorp, filed for the shoring/excavation permit. We have asked for an update on when they expect to start demolition and construction, and are checking with other businesses about their plans. (If yours is among them and you see this before we contact you, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with info on where you are going, as Robert did – thank you.)

That's a rendering of what proprietor Phil Gustavson says the sign will look like when he opens the West Seattle School of Rock on the outer east side of Jefferson Square in The Junction. Gustavson says he's signed the lease for the space next door to Dream Dinners (WSB sponsor) at 4701 41st SW, Suite 120. School of Rock is an international chain of music schools that teach guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards, and drums, with lessons leading to performances. In this metro area, it has branches in Greenwood and Bellevue. Gustavson isn't estimating an opening date yet, saying it depends mostly on how long it takes to get permits.
'Pedestrian retail area' zoning changes? Here's what the city heardJune 17, 2014 at 12:47 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
(Click image to see full-size citywide map of zones identified by the city)
Earlier this year, almost every community council in West Seattle (among others citywide) got a visit from Aly Pennucci, a Department of Planning and Development staffer working on potential zoning changes for "Pedestrian Retail Areas" – which don't necessarily align with what you might think of as neighborhood business districts. She brought along "preliminary recommendations" for each of the areas the city had pre-defined. At the same time, DPD put up an online survey that anyone could answer, and has just published the 902 replies it received, co-mingled instead of broken out by respondents' neighborhoods, but if you scroll ahead to the second half, you'll find the often-detailed replies to open questions such as "should other uses be allowed in pedestrian retail zones?"
This is all supposed to result in zoning changes to be proposed to the City Council by late summer. Something to add? email@example.com

For the second time this year, an "unlawful detainer" action is pending against the ownership of West Seattle Athletic Club in North Delridge. That's the formal term for a legal action that could result in eviction. As reported here in February, the first case was called off on the eve of a court hearing, and the lawyer for the club's landlord, H-P Properties, told WSB at the time, that was because club ownership "came up with a payment sufficient to reinstate the lease."
Documents available online showed that case was formally closed in early April. But court records show that a new "unlawful detainer" action was filed one month later, on May 2nd.

West Seattle businesses: Redline WS owner ailing; Young At Art closesJune 13, 2014 at 10:30 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 9 Comments
Two West Seattle business updates.
REDLINE WS OWNER AILING: Just half a year after Redline WS opened at 35th/Avalon, it hasn't expanded operations as much as envisioned, and Kris Quigley, a friend of owner Mike Bauer, e-mailed to explain that Mike's been ill and to share a crowdfunding link in addition to a request for support in general:
First of all, Mike would like to thank everyone who has supported RedlineWS and his dream of a neighborhood sports bar that everyone can enjoy.
I would really like to let everyone know of Mike's condition and the reasons why his true vision of an amazing sports bar didn't quite come together as he had envisioned. His ongoing illness has really impacted his ability to manage and operate the restaurant and has left Mike with an underfunded new business and mounting bills associated with medical bills etc. With continued support we would love to see Mike get the medical attention he needs to get his health back and see the sports bar grow into a West Seattle staple restaurant that everyone can enjoy for years to come.
As explained on the GoFundMe page, "Mike is suffering from a debilitating illness that has attacked his nervous system, making tasks as simple as walking impossible." The diagnosis remains a mystery. However, Redline IS open, Kris says – "Lack of funding didn't allow for keeping the coffee shop open in the early morning at 5 am as we intended. So for now the restaurant opens at 11 am and is open till 9 pm for under 21 and open till 2 am for over 21. We have a strong trivia night Wednesdays, a newly put-together family-friendly karaoke on Tuesdays till 9pm, and Thursdays Free Poker is starting" and even just going there would be welcome support, Kris says: "Give the bar a chance knowing the obstacles Mike faced to open it and understand that it is still truly a work in progress."
YOUNG AT ART CLOSED: Just shy of two years ago, the art classes/studio business Young At Art had to leave its Junction location, as did all the businesses at 42nd/Alaska/California, because of the then-impending Equity Residential development (although demolition ultimately did not start for months). YAA found a new home at Fauntleroy/Raymond. But now, it's closed, according to both a sign outside and a note on Facebook from owner Theresa:
The time over the last 3 years has been nothing short of magical to me and my children. I am in great hopes that the idea of freestyle art and getting downright messy, covered in paint up to your chin in recycle projects, has made its way into your children's lives, your homes and hearts, as much as the time I have spent with your children has made an impression on my life that I can never forget. The studio is now in the process of closing up…maybe not forever.. but for now it's time to say thank you and have a great summer. Enjoy your children and all the amazing creative wild adventures you have with them.
The message outside the studio also wishes everyone a great summer. (Thanks to all the readers who e-mailed to ask/tip us about this closure.)
West Seattle food updates: Burger Boss, Tat's Truck open this weekend; Thai-U-Up thai's the knotJune 6, 2014 at 2:30 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 8 Comments
Two quick notes looking ahead to this weekend:
BURGER BOSS 'SOFT OPEN' SATURDAY: When we first reported on Burger Boss (20th/Barton in South Delridge) back in April, they mentioned a plan to soft-open in early June. They're achieving it, co-proprietor Brian Azzano tells WSB, tomorrow, starting at 4 pm, "for dinner and beyond."
TAT'S TRUCK LAUNCHES SUNDAY: Last week we mentioned that West Seattleites are launching a truck spinning off from the popular Tat's Deli in Pioneer Square, and that they expected to launch it in WS. Thanks to James for keeping an eye on the Tat's Truck website and pointing out that they've announced they'll debut at Hans VW (35th/Graham) 11 am-2 pm this Sunday. (Also thanks to SeattleFoodTruck.com for calling our attention to that too.)
SPEAKING OF TRUCKS … one of this area's regulars is off the street until next week, and it's for happy news: the proprietors of Thai-U-Up, a dinnertime fixture at the 30th/Roxbury gas station, announced via Facebook that they're closed through June 10th (reopening next Wednesday) because they're getting married. Congratulations!
Next round in minimum-wage fight: Charter amendment proposed for $12.50 by 2020June 5, 2014 at 3:10 pm | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 34 Comments
Two days after Mayor Murray signed the City Council-passed minimum-wage increase into law, a business group is trying to get an alternative onto the ballot via city charter amendment. The group calling itself Forward Seattle says it's a coalition of independent businesses, with a counterproposal laying out 40-cent incremental increases resulting in a $12.50 minimum wage by 2020. It briefed citywide media this morning but hasn't yet released the text of its proposal, nor does it have a public list of members/supporters. In addition to that, Publicola reports that Tim Eyman is now pursuing an initiative that would make it illegal for any entity but the state to mandate wage levels.
The Cask: Welcoming a new WSB sponsor, under new ownershipJune 5, 2014 at 11:39 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS beverages | 2 Comments
Today we welcome The Cask in The Admiral District as a new WSB sponsor.
New owner Marty Ogan took over just last month and says he's working to bring The Cask back to its roots – under its original ownership, it began as "a bottle shop" with small plates, and that's what he is emphasizing.
You can see The Cask's food menu here – fresh seasonal items generally ranging from $8 to $12, with some changes every three months or so to stay in line with what's new and fresh. The Cask also is featuring live music some nights (like tonight!) and other special events – for example, a special tapping tonight. Watch for "Wine Wednesdays," as well as daily happy hour 4-7 pm.
Marty grew up in Edmonds and worked many years as a firefighter in Idaho, where he also operated a mobile wood-fired pizza enterprise. Looking at retirement from the fire department, he found Seattle appealing, and discovered The Cask was available. He invites you to come sip, taste, and enjoy, 4-10 pm Tuesdays-Wednesdays, 4-11 pm Thursdays, 4-midnight Fridays and Saturdays, 2350 California SW. Online, you'll find The Cask at thecaskwestseattle.com.

West Seattle crowdfunding: Ready for the city's 'first 100% vegan ice-cream-sandwich' truck?May 28, 2014 at 11:02 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 30 Comments
Summertime is ice-cream-truck time. West Seattle residents Chelsea and Chris are hoping to hit the road this summer with what they say will be Seattle's first 100 percent vegan ice-cream truck, specializing in vegan ice-cream sandwiches – if their crowdfunding campaign works out.
They're calling their mobile enterprise the Cookie Counter, and it's actually not a truck – it's this blue 1974 VW Van:
The Sunrise Heights-area residents have taken to Kickstarter to look for funding, where they explain: "All of our ice creams are coconut based and we offer a variety of gluten-free options, meaning we automatically cater to dairy & egg allergies, along with wheat & gluten." Flavor combinations in the works include Earl Grey with Lemon Zest, Orange Cardamom with Coconut Chocolate Chunk, Gluten Free White Chocolate with Mint, Green Tea with Raspberry, Gluten Free Coconut Lime with Mango. "Unlike other trucks offering vegan ice cream, we will have more than one or two options," says Chelsea, adding that her background includes work as a personal vegan chef and as a waitperson/barista at Easy Street Café – plus volunteer work with kids: "I am passionate about kids and hope to get the truck involved in community events once we're up and running!" Chris is a UW student, veteran (Marines), and dad (his 12-year-old son Mally is in the Kickstarter video). Their campaign has two and a half weeks to go.
Who pays for your 'free' parking and when? Junction changes to go before City Council committeeMay 22, 2014 at 3:39 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 31 Comments
There's a lot more to the free-parking lots in The Junction than just striped asphalt without pay stations – Junction businesses pay special assessments to maintain them. This Friday, some proposed changes in the rules for those assessments, four years in the making, have the West Seattle Junction Association going before a City Council committee. After spotting the item on the agenda for the Finance amd Culture Committee, with WSJA director Susan Melrose listed as scheduled to speak to councilmembers, we talked to her Wednesday to find out more:

(8/14 note: To check whether a business is still a current WSB sponsor, please go here)
Today we're welcoming a new WSB sponsor: HomeStreet Bank, now open in The Junction. New sponsors get the chance to tell you about themselves, so here's what HomeStreet would like you to know:
HomeStreet Bank is local! We are based in downtown Seattle and are one of the largest community banks headquartered in Washington. HomeStreet began in the University District in 1921 as Continental Mortgage and Loan Company, later becoming Continental Savings Bank in 1986 when we became a full-service bank. We changed our name to HomeStreet Bank in 2000. (However, many people will still recall getting their mortgage at Continental Savings Bank!) We have expanded our services further over the years, adding business banking and lending, investment services, and more. HomeStreet offers a wide variety of financial products and services, including:
• Personal Banking
• Business Banking
• Mortgage Lending (including renovation loans and reverse mortgages)
• Commercial Lending (including a new small business loan program as well as SBA financing)
• Investment and Insurance Services for consumers and businesses
• Cash Management Services for businesses of all sizes
• Private Banking
• Residential Construction Financing
• Commercial Real Estate financing (apartments, retail space, office & industrial)
HomeStreet Bank has 82 deposit branches and lending centers in the Pacific Northwest, California, and Hawaii.
Community involvement has always been a high priority for HomeStreet. Many of our employees support the needs of local community organizations by creating active partnerships, hands-on service and providing leadership. As a relationship-focused bank, we always try to go the extra mile for our customers while providing personal service that is oftentimes not expected. We pride ourselves in our employees' ability to make decisions on their own.
HomeStreet Bank is proud to be a member of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce. We are also proud supporters of the West Seattle Helpline, West Seattle Food Bank, WestSide Baby, and Nature Consortium. Being new to the West Seattle community, we are very excited at the opportunity to get involved in the neighborhood. This year we sponsored the Taste of West Seattle and will be sponsoring Summer Fest and West Seattle Outdoor Movies. We are also thrilled to be hosting this year's Stuff the Bus Diaper Drive for WestSide Baby!
HomeStreet Bank's West Seattle branch is located at 4022 SW Alaska Street and we would love for you to stop in! Check us out online at: www.homestreet.com or "like" our Facebook page.
We thank HomeStreet Bank for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; see our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.
West Seattle businesses: Happy 10th anniversary, NCompassMay 10, 2014 at 2:33 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
Making it to 10 years in business is SO worth a party. So (from left) Drew Foster and Stefan Hansmire of NCompass Construction/NCompass Cottage Company (WSB sponsor) had a big one at Dakota Place on Friday night. So big, even West Seattle favorites Not Dead Yet performed:
The party also featured a food truck and a "construction and building trivia game" with multiple choice questions (we're pretty sure the answer to "Section 505.1 of the 2009 Residential Washington State Energy code states …" was NOT #D, "Turn off the lights when you leave the room!"). Their business has evolved to address community needs, including, a year ago, certification as "aging in place" specialists.

"Pass The Bowl" is VH1's ongoing interview series, wherein celebrities contribute questions to our bowl and fellow celebs later draw a question.
Brad Goreski: Explain an experience that you thought would destroy you but actually made you stronger?
Dhani Jones: I got lost in the backcountry woods while snowboarding. I had to dig myself out and traverse for like an hour and a half, then finally found my way down.
VH1: Where were you snowboarding?
Dhani: At Utah backcountry. It's not always cool - it's great snow - but it's not always cool because you can get lost. And then you're walking through the snow and it comes up to here [gestures to waist-high], and you're using your board to dig yourself out. You're out there for an hour and a half to two hours, and just listening for voices to find your way down. So, that would be one of the experiences that made me stronger.
Dhani's Question For The Bowl: "Lucid Dreaming" – What is the last thing you remember doing while sleeping?

Hi everyone, welcome to our class of Beautiful People 101.
Why that face Olivia.
She's deep in thought, calculating how long the route home would take in order to surprise Errol by showing up on his doorstep in nothing but a trench coat.
L M A O. And all that while she drinks her apple martini striking a poker face.
There's also a Lili Damita Perfect Murder plot swimming around in the depths of those big, brown, seductress eyes.

I think we must have just finished lunch; I know we were sitting at a table in the small winter garden of a porch at Durham Cottage and that it was daylight. It came like a bolt out of the blue, like a drop of water, I almost thought my ears had deceived me: "I don't love you any more."
I must have looked as stricken as I felt for she went on, "There's no one else or anything like that, I mean I still love you but in a different way, sort of, well, like a brother"; she actually used those words. I felt as if I had been told that I had been condemned to death. The central force of my life, my heart in fact, as if by the world's most skillful surgeon, had been removed. It left me agasp but not gasping; it was as if I had been rendered forever still inside, like a fish in a refrigerator. It had always been inconceivable that this great, this glorious passion could ever not exist, like a crowned head after the execution. Some while later a close friend (Noel Coward) said to me tha I should have kicked her out, or upped and outed myself; that I should never have endured in silence such humiliation apparently for the sake of appearances.
The fact was I couldn't move; it would be some time before I could entirely take it in, grasp it, or wholly believe it.
—Laurence Olivier in Confessions of an Actor
(via itsdelovely)
A candid picture of Greta Garbo with then-lover and co-star, John Gilbert.
"Many things have been written and said about our friendship", Garbo said in the one interview in which she ever publicly referred to Gilbert. "It is a friendship. I will never marry… But you may say that I think John is one of the finest men I have ever known, American or otherwise. He is a real gentleman. He has temperament. That is, he gets excited - has much to say sometimes- but that is good. I am very happy when Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer say I am to do a picture with Mr. Gilbert. He is so fine an artist; he lifts me up and carries me along with him. It is not just a scene I am doing - I am living."
The beginning of the fall of the great John Gilbert, was on the day he elaborated a wedding, September 8, 1927 with Greta Garbo. When Garbo changed her mind, did not appear, and left John alone at the altar, Gilbert had a terrible row with studio boss Louis B. Mayer after Mayer stated to John, "What do you have to marry her for? Why don't you just screw her and forget about it?" Gilbert flew into a rage, attacked and punched the magnate.
From Laurence Olivier's autobiography: "It was the first flop I have ever heard of for [Ina Claire] — unless you count her marriage to John Gilbert, which was an unkind, empty gesture on his part, taking advantage of a young female's flattered fascination simply in order to parade it in front of Garbo and snap his fingers at her. Garbo, of course, wore a more mocking expression than ever, doing the slow nod and keeping it up pretty steadily, for all the world like an automatic model in a shop window, while poor Gibert went m-a-a-a-d and his pretty, sprightly, bubbling young bride couldn't make out what could be the matter."
JFC this just all sounds like such a mess

Peanuts steps up marketing game with Natasha Fishman appointment
In the lead-up to its 2015 Peanuts feature film, New York-based Iconix Brand Group has named former HIT Entertainment exec Natasha Fishman as VP of global brand management and marketing for Peanuts Worldwide and Iconix Entertainment.
Fishman will oversee the brand's marketing on a global level, as well as drive brand cohesion across territories. In addition to managing and executing major brand initiatives, she will be responsible for developing creative marketing strategies to expand the classic brand's reach to younger generations. The Peanuts characters have already been stretching their reach in the digital space over the past year, particularly through a creative Vine video campaign and a stint with Instagram's video service.
At HIT, Fishman oversaw the company's global digital media growth and facilitated brand integration across web, social, and mobile interfaces for franchises including Thomas & Friends, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Angelina Ballerina and Barney. She has also held brand and marketing positions at Sesame Workshop and Scholastic and began her career at Bloomingdale's.

Sweet gum was on the list of those that were taken aback by the tough winter. The article said that many "southern" plants were those hardest hit. I assume they meant marginals. I never thought of ornamental grasses as marginal, but I've noticed all over town that many grasses were weak to return, with lots of dead growth in the center. One of my Morning Light miscanthus came back with only one tiny spring. I pampered it, but finally gave in and replaced it with a full plant.

I might go the "burning" route next year, though with the high winds that regularly kick up here, I would need ideal conditions.

Thanks for your input, many do seem to use controlled burning and it certainly would save some wear, tear and effort!

(I live just a few minutes from her garden in Charlotte, too!) I love winter honeysuckle. Not only is the scent wonderful, but I think the leaves and berries are lovely too. It is invasive in some areas, apparently, so it would be a good idea to check before you plant it. It IS a little messy with the way it grows, so an out of the way spot is better than up front and noticeable, but I can't imagine doing without that wonderful scent when so much is still asleep in the garden.Dariciahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787894.post-88596528920573805382013-12-29T16:36:14.011-05:002013-12-29T16:36:14.011-05:00HI Ilona: Enjoyed you posts and looking forward f...HI Ilona: Enjoyed you posts and looking forward for more next year.

Kenai City Council Held Joint Comp Plan Work Session Yesterday
The Kenai City Council, yesterday afternoon, held a joint work session with the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission to have the council's first formal look at the new "Imagine Kenai 2030″ comprehensive plan. Jeff Twait, Chairman of the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission noted some of the changes from the previous comp plan.
Twait: "In the 2003 plan, they really were trying to focus on a city center, and some of the things they wanted to do there, seven years later, haven't been accomplished yet. Due to some environmental factors, the bluff erosion, things of that nature, and some things that caused it not to happen. So we kind of re-shifted things a little bit, but we haven't put it to bed yet necessarily, it still could be done."
Kenai Mayor Pat Porter commented on the flexibility of such plans..
Mayor Porter: "If you would have looked, particularly at our last plan that we had, you wouldn't have seen any large box stores, meaning Home Depot and or Walmart type commercial act ivies in our communities. And so you have to be able to adjust your plan as you go along so that you can accommodate how ever your community is changing. Because if you have a community that is healthy, it's always going to be changing and may not go with how your plan was set. And you never want to say, 'oh, we can't do that because our plan doesn't allow us' because then you're not a growing community."
The Kenai City Council will begin their process with the plan in March.

AT&T, rivals delay legal fights over T-Mobile
(Reuters) - AT&T Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp asked a U.S. court on Tuesday to delay hearings in their private litigation over whether the telecommunications giant can buy T-Mobile USA, and the judge promptly agreed.
The request was similar to one that AT&T and the Justice Department made on Monday regarding the government's antitrust suit, which U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle also promptly signed.
An identical request was agreed in a case against AT&T brought by small regional phone company C Spire Wireless.
AT&T's agreement to delays in the cases, after previously insisting on expediting them to prevent Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA from deteriorating in limbo, have led to pessimism that the $39 billion deal will be completed.
AT&T has also set aside $4 billion in reserves for what could eventually be a $6 billion deal breakup payment to T-Mobile.
AT&T and Sprint asked for the next hearing in the case to be January 18, at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT), the same time as the next hearing in the Justice Department's case against AT&T.
Huvelle has ordered AT&T and T-Mobile USA to tell the court by noon on January 12 whether they plan to continue to pursue their agreed deal or an amended one and to give an update on their plans for seeking necessary approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
Both the Justice Department and the FCC have objected to the deal on the grounds that it would hurt competition in the U.S. wireless market. The purchase of No. 4 U.S. mobile operator T-Mobile USA would vault No. 2-ranked AT&T into first place in the U.S. market.
The cases before the court are USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, case No. 11-1560; Sprint Nextel Corp v. AT&T Inc et al, No. 11-1600 and Cellular South (C Spire) v. AT&T, No. 11-1690. All are before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
(Reporting by Diane Bartz; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)
Taking into account the whole U.S. market, a combination of AT&T and T-Mobile would increase the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), a widely accepted measure of market concentration, to 3,216 from 2,848, according to a Bloomberg analysis. Any score above 2,500 indicates a highly concentrated market, and any increase of more than 200 points clearly enhances market power, according to federal guidelines.
If this ridiculous deal goes through, Sprint will be the only low-priced post-paid national wireless carrier left in the United States. T-Mobile customers are already fleeing to Sprint because they know they won't get low prices from AT&T or Verizon. But AT&T and Verizon are two of the top corporate lobbyists in the country, so beware of how things could "mysteriously" turn in this case.
"It's only a slight overstatement to say that if they weren't going to block this one, the Justice Department might as well just throw the antitrust guidelines out the window," said Herbert Hovenkamp, professor of law at the University of Iowa, who is considered by many to be the dean of American antitrust law. "This merger clearly seems to violate them."
AT&T remains the worst carrier in the United States, according to an annual customer satisfaction survey compiled by Consumer Reports. The mobile provider ranked dead last for the third year in a row.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have been given little to no respect this season, until recently when they took two straight from the Detroit Red Wings and extended their winning streak to five games. A big reason for that success came from netminder Sergei Bobrovsky who was named the week's first start.
Surprising? Probably to most given that the Jackets were predicted to finish dead last this year and while they still could, they've been playing much better hockey of late.
Last week Bobrovsky went 4-0 last week with a microscopic goals against average of only 0.77 in that span. His save percentage was an amazing .972 and managed to post one shutout during the week's play. The highlight came against the Vancouver Canucks when he made 34 saves in what turned into a 2-1 overtime win for his club.
Bobrovksy is a big reason why Columbus has leapfrogged both the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers in the standings and into 13th place. Don't look now but the Blue Jackets are only four points out of a playoff spot. Hey, crazier things have happened.
The second star of the week is Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and for good reason. Sid the Kid led all players last week with 11 points in 4 games, 9 of which were assists. Talk about disguising his goal scoring ability by being a playmaker.
He is also riding a modest eight-game point streak where he's put up 5 goals and 15 assists. Just yesterday he paced the Penguins to a 6-1 romp over the New York Islanders in which the captain had 5 assists in the game alone. Not bad for a guy who's said to be recovering from concussion issues. I'd say the greatest player in the game is back on top.
The third star of the week goes to Jeff Carter of the Los Angeles Kings. The former Flyer had 6 goals in 4 games last week to bring his season total to 17, good enough for a second place tie in the NHL. Carter picked up his fifth career hat-trick last week against the Nashville Predators and also scored the game winning goal against the St. Louis Blues, earning him the nickname "money." Carter is one of many reasons that the defending champs are surging and looking primed to make another run at Lord Stanley in the spring.

Very grateful to Ellen Heltzel (of the Book Babes) for the item at the National Book Critics Circle blog Critical Mass about my column today, which discusses Robert Cawdrey's pioneering but long-forgotten dictionary from 1604.
Not too surprised that she notices some of the sexual lingo that I cited. When you say "Puritan," the notion of repression comes automatically to mind.
But there's pretty good evidence that their reputation as fiercely antisexual killjoys is quite mistaken -- a point first made, so far as I know, by Edmund Morgan in his article "The Puritans and Sex" (1942) and shored by more recent work.
They wanted it kept in its "proper" (marital) place -- no big surprise there, of course. But in sermons and treatises, they were perfectly willing to compare spiritual bliss to its carnal analog.

Shigeru Sugiura's The Last of the Mohicans: The Comeback Trail
This text is excerpted from Ryan Holmberg's 60-page essay published in PictureBox's Last of the Mohicans, in stores now.
Shigeru Sugiura had passed into something like semi-retirement at the end of 1958. Born in 1908 and active as cartoonist since the early '30s, he had just rounded the age of 50 and was coming down from a decade of dizzyingly voluminous production. In some years his output approached five hundred pages, completed with only occasional help from assistants. He worked primarily for Shūeisha, which later made its mark as the publisher of the world's best-selling Shōnen Jump (f. 1968), but already highly successful with comics in the '50s. Sugiura's books, with print-runs in the many tens of thousands, and in one case crossing into six digits, were amongst the publisher's – and the industry's – top sellers. The original edition of The Last of the Mohicans was amongst them, selling some 70,000 copies over multiple printings.
The Last of the Mohicans (Shūeisha, 1953), p. 20.
The story of the 1969 remake more or less follows those from the '50s. The invincible young ninja "Monkey-flying" Sasuke strolls along premodern Japan's highways, defeating the enemies of his patron Sanada Yukimura through a series of ever more absurd magical tricks. What has really changed is the drawing. It has been jazzed up with a mix of Sugiura's older humor cartooning style and detailed copies of stills from American movies and "ten-cent" comic books, in both cases mainly Westerns and sci-fi, and mainly from the '50s. The Cheyenne prepare to attack the Tokugawa. John Wayne and his Chisholm Trail riders have been recruited from Red River stills. The result, with its pasted-up look, bears a general resemblance to the era's vanguard art: the collage-principles of theatre poster design, the intercutting of live action and pop culture stills in New Wave cinema, the pinboard aesthetic of early Pop Art. And it shared with them also a distinct nostalgia for the pop culture of the recent past, specifically that of the postwar '40s and '50s, which had been in Japan, as in Pop's country of origin of England, strongly defined by the encounter with American mass entertainment and the country's utopian visions of consumer culture. The influence of Americana on the original Sasuke was very small. But when Sugiura went to remake the manga at the height of Pop Art's golden age, it was as if this '50s classic could only be retold through an encounter with that era's dime comics and Hollywood movies.
Sarutobi Sasuke (Mushi Comics, 1969), p. 78.
Sarutobi Sasuke (Mushi Comics, 1969), p. 118.
If Mushi Comics revived the sleeping giant, it was former fans that made him feel young again. The boys that had gorged themselves on Sugiura manga as schoolchildren were now young men in their twenties and thirties. Some of them had become prominent artists in their own right, some editors and writers. When they set out to refashion magazine publishing in their own image, they sent for the king entertainer of their youth.
Sugiura began to receive commissions from cool places. In 1970, Modern Comics (Gendai komikku), a manga magazine for young men, began serializing Sugiura's Mifune, less a story and more a surrealistic montage of images, mainly movie stills and French and Japanese paintings from the early twentieth century, copied from the artist's old scrapbooks, and reminiscent in style to the work of pop-surrealist painter Tateishi Tiger, once a child reader of Sugiura, now a personal friend. In 1971, Black Magazine (Kuro no techō), a heady literary and cultural periodical for the age of the lugubrious "cult film" and so-called "roman porno," with special issues on subjects like humor noir, black magic,and the "aesthetics of rape," hired Sugiura for a few joke strips, slightly dark, slightly dirty. In 1972, Akatsuka Fujio invited the sexagenarian to contribute to his own (short-lived) attempt at independent and experimental manga publishing, the monthly Manga No. 1, resulting in one remake of a work from the early '50s and an array of surrealistic ghost and monster comedies. And in 1973-74, the recently founded Treasure Island (Takarajima), a savvy pop culture magazine inspired partly by Rolling Stone, published by the same Shōbunsha that would put out Sugiura's Mohicans, featured the artist's characters on one of its covers and reprints of his manga in two of its issues.
Mifune (1970-74).
"It seems like there is going to be a strange Sugiura boom," worried childhood fan and manga artist Hayashi Seiichi in the pages of the alternative monthly Garo in 1970, a few months after Sasuke. He proved to be right. In a few years time, the old man, once popular, was hip. A decade later in 1985, his work even appeared in RAW, New York's famed avant-garde comics venue.
Then his production cut back sharply, with just a smattering of short manga and album and product designs before his death on April 23, 2000. He was 92.
As innovative during his comeback as he was, Sugiura also seems to have been a bit at sea. "I have completely lost interest in children's comics," he wrote in 1974, in a blurb at the back of Sugiura's Mohicans. "I think I would like to draw an absurd 'gag nonsense' thing for young adults. I cannot quite put it into words, but the idea is a manga set in a totally unrecognizable time and place, with no attachment to any specific period, time, or region, with a story involving lots of strange people, monsters, and ghosts running around like mad… That's the idea anyway, but … it's not going so well …"
The ellipses notwithstanding, such manga he did make, and had been doing so for a couple of years. They were monstrosities born of nostalgia, inspired by the aforementioned scrapbooks the artist had been assembling since his youth. The earliest scrapbooks contain reproductions of the kind of artwork Sugiura had been interested in as a young man in the late '20s and early '30s: canvases by painters like Maurice Utrillo, Henri Rousseau, and Kumaoka Yoshihiko. In subsequent volumes, the balance shifts to American comic books, picked up from used booksellers in the late '40s and '50s after being dumped on the Japanese market by American G.I.s. These clippings, and presumably a stash of intact magazines, had served as the artist's idea bank since at least the early '50s. It was to them that he returned to rejuvenate himself in the late '60s.
Characters, vehicles, landscapes, and even whole compositions from Star Spangled Comics, All Star Western, Tarzan, and Challengers of the Unknown (to name just a few) are copied almost as-is in his manga, and not necessarily in ones that match the genre of their sources. One can almost see the trajectory of the artist's postwar career in the transformations of single groupings of motifs. For example, since his childhood Sugiura had liked Tarzan, as mentioned in "Silent Movies." There are some jungle and safari strips by him, and a few Boy Tarzan ones, before and immediately after the war. Naturally, Jesse Marsh's art for Tarzan caught his eye. Raging pagan priestesses and Bara, Tarzan's antelope steed, make perfect sense in Sugiura's lost world adventure Flying Saucer Z (Enban Z,1952-53). But appropriations from the same source had to be modified or generalized for use in the original edition of Mohicans, created soon after: Bara has been replaced by a moose, Tarzan by a surprised David Gamut. Identical and similar landscapes reappear in the 1969 Sasuke, sitting on the page in a disconnected fashion and paired with wisecracking cartoon characters to further emphasize their alien origins. It was but a single step into the '70s and non-narrative collage. The scrapbooks were making Sugiura's work a pastiche of scattered memories, where once assimilation had reigned.
Jesse Marsh, Tarzan, no. 17 (September-October 1951)
The Last of the Mohicans (Shūeisha, 1953), p. 60.
Jesse Marsh, Tarzan, no. 17 (September-October 1951), compare with p. 58.
Sarutobi Sasuke (Mushi Comics, 1969), p. 125.
The major exception was Sugiura's Mohicans. In 1973, the publisher Shōbunsha approached the artist to do a book. Inevitably they chose to revive another megahit from the '50s. Naturally perhaps, given the publisher, which was publishing a number of books in these years on American society and pop culture, including, in the very same year as Mohicans,a collection of Ono Kōsei's writings on American comics – they chose one of the artist's most "American" of works. Sugiura's Mohicans too would be more than a remake. But unlike Sasuke,this parade through the past was focused. There are Marsh's imagined African landscapes again, backing La Carabine Kid and the gang as they escape from Glens Falls (p. 58). But not slapped on as they appeared in Sasuke in 1969. They are smoothly melded into Sugiura's idea of the American wilderness, as they had been back in 1953.
Jesse Marsh, Tarzan, no. 17 (September-October 1951), compare with p. 58.
Distinct but integrated, this one part is typical of the whole. As such the work goes against the entropic narratives and pasted-up compositions that had become the artist's working norm. The book is tighter and with momentum greater than anything else Sugiura produced in the '70s, more sharply drawn and dramatic than anything he produced in the '50s. If previous revivalist works, despite their experimentalism, had been coated in a slight film of dust, this time the aging artist reemerged from the past as if having been dipped in the fountain of youth.
Why should that have been the case? What was it about Mohicans that inspired a different and more vigorous approach?
