Straight Shooter
Juergen Teller has little patience for most fashion photography. It's done "by gay people finding women sexy." He'd rather make out with Charlotte Rampling.
Vater and Sohn, Bubenreuth, Germany, 2005. (Teller with his son, Ed.)
Juergen Teller, the photographer, has spent much of this summer Tuesday editing a shoot commissioned by W Magazine about the art world in New York. The star of the shoot is the 47-year-old actress Tilda Swinton, who has been dressed up as everyone from an artist to a gallerist to an insecure collector mid–Botox procedure. She's accompanied by artists like Rachel Feinstein and collectors like Renée Rockefeller. The whole thing looks fairly dark; the lighting is not gentle or flattering, and if any of the subjects has a pore, or a sagging breast, well, there it is.
"Most fashion photography is done by gay people finding women sexy," Teller says, "which is sort of not sexy at all, at least to a heterosexual man. She's so retouched, so airbrushed, without any human response at all, and, well, you don't really want to f**k a doll."
Teller, who is a heterosexual man, is sitting on the patio of his West London studio-house wearing mirrored aviator glasses, spiky hair, a shiny gold chain around his neck, and a great big Rolex on his wrist. He's circular, with a round head, round belly, and round blue eyes, and he smokes almost constantly—Marlboro Lights with one of those giant European SMOKING KILLS warnings on the pack. The building, which he renovated completely two years ago, features a complicated number of levels: The garage is below the living room and the photo studio is sort of below and beside all that, and from the studio you have a perfect, head-to-toe view of the outdoor shower.
"I just turn the page," Teller says of those very glossy fashion shots. "It doesn't really interest me very much. My work has nothing to do with that. I just really like women, and I like men, and I like children, and I like eating, and I like doing everything. It's something real. I'm for the individual human being, not some plastic figure some gay guy thought out. That's valid for something, but it's not my cup of tea."
There is grit to a Juergen Teller photograph, even when it's one of his lucrative high-fashion ads. A kind of raw, what-you-see-is-what-you-get sensibility that shows the sometimes very ugly side of a supposedly beautiful business. The photographs are undeniably sexy, but sexy in the sense that you can practically smell them. And they don't, necessarily, smell like expensive designer perfume.
All this rawness is not presented as critique; "Look," Teller says, "I have a Mercedes. I wear a Rolex watch. I have no problem with the selling of things." Rather, it's offered up mostly as realism: Here, the pictures say, this is what people look like. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes tragic, sometimes kind of gross. The pictures can be funny, too. Commissioned to shoot fine jewelry for Phillips auction house, Teller piled diamonds on members of his own family, from his infant son, Ed (adorably bundled into a Motörhead onesie), to Uncle Arthur, visiting from Germany at the ripe old age of 73.
"Why not?" Teller says, deadpan. "My family likes jewelry."
He photographed Angela Lindvall with a mound of white Champagne foam coming out of her crotch and named it New York, Paris, Milan I'm Coming. He named another series "Fashion Wank."
Rather than saturating the colors and bleeding his image off the edge of a page, as is typical for a fashion shoot, Teller uses a raw flash that blasts his subjects and keeps his colors soft and somewhat muted. And the pictures are always surrounded by loads of white space; for the W story, Teller will leave a number of pages blank. Sometimes the models in Teller's pictures are tiny and distant, the color and sheen of their clothes nearly imperceptible.
But perhaps most rare for fashion photography, Teller's pictures are absolutely never retouched. "I'm interested in the person I photograph," he says. "The world is so beautiful as it is, there's so much going on which is sort of interesting. It's just so crazy, so why do I have to put some retouching on it? It's just pointless to me."
"There are elements of Beckett in Juergen's work," says Dennis Freedman, the creative director of W. "It's a very serious business, but there's no question that if you think about life in a certain way, you come to the realization that there are deep questions about what we are all doing here. Juergen touches on the futility of it all—of trying to look beautiful, the futility of trying to keep up your sagging breasts or of fitting into a certain dress. So much fashion photography builds this false sense and maintains the myth. Juergen's pictures cut through all that, but they're not depressing. What's really depressing is not Juergen's pictures, but the mindless objectification of women as clothes hangers who pose and wear clothes, but there's nothing to the picture apart from that it's a sales tool."

Which, of course, in the complicated, push-pull world of commercial seduction, makes them extremely effective as sales tools. "I'm interested in what attracts somebody to a product," says Teller. "Sometimes it's not necessarily the product itself. It's similar to when you go to the cinema and you watch a movie and you're like, Oh my God. I want to feel something like that. That's what I have as a double-page spread in a magazine. It's not I want to be that. It's I want to feel that."
Models are not of tremendous interest to Teller. They were, once: In 1998, Teller found himself so deluged with models landing on his doorstep (agencies were hoping he'd "discover" another Kate Moss, as he was one of the first photographers to document her crooked beauty) that he began keeping a record of the visits. He put an ad in a paper for even more models, and suddenly his doorbell was ringing without interruption. He snapped each girl, standing so vulnerable there on his stoop. The result was a gallery show of the photographs—each printed identically small—and eventually a book called Go Sees: Girls Knocking on My Door.
"I wanted to show everything," he says of the experience. "Some people are very at ease with themselves and enjoy being a model, and you can see that in the pictures. Some people are not, and you can see how insecure they are. It's really dangerous and weird. And I wanted to show the kind of power you have as a photographer, and the dodgy side of that. You have to be correct with them; otherwise, it's just awful."
So Teller shot them all: Sophie Dahl dropped by, chubby and adolescent, and so did Eva Herzigova.
These days, Teller prefers quote-unquote interesting women: Cindy Sherman, Rachel Feinstein, Laura Dern. If he does shoot models, they are older (ideally over 20): Mariacarla Boscono, Angela Lindvall, Kristen McMenamy. They are women with stories and strength. Teller knows them already, or he gets to. They often eat together, preferably something sloppy. Meal sharing, he explains, is deeply important to his process—spaghetti nero, with its muddying effect on the lips and teeth, has become, for Teller, something of a leitmotif.
"These women have experience in life and you can really talk to them about what you're trying to achieve," he explains. "It makes a hell of a lot more sense to make an ad which creates a fantasy about those women than about a bunch of young Russian models looking all doodly-doo." For a recent Vivienne Westwood campaign, Teller all but ignored the model and instead photographed Westwood herself. She appears pale and crinkly and not-skinny and absolutely, completely self-possessed. She is gorgeous. But also—and this is important—he has not exactly shattered the rules of fashion: What she represents is every bit as unattainable, if not more so, as being tall and thin and 16.

Teller arrived in London just over twenty years ago, a befuddled German photo-school grad with a thing for grunge. "I wanted to learn English," he says of his reasons for leaving Germany, "and I didn't want to join the army."
He started out photographing musicians like Björk and Kurt Cobain. His photographs appeared mostly in magazines like i-D and The Face, which were, in late-eighties London, as influential as any style magazines have ever been.
He met and fell in love with a stylist named Venetia Scott, a square-jawed, no-nonsense beauty who looks something like a photograph by Dorothea Lange. They worked together, slowly sorting out what they considered beautiful: "We just kind of very naïvely and innocently had a lot of time on our hands," Teller says, "and we thought very long about what kind of girl or woman interested us and what we wanted to do. Sometimes we did one fashion story a year, and sometimes two. It was really slow, but it was great. We couldn't go faster." Fashion was quite glossy and supermodel-driven then, but Teller and Scott got hung up on Kate Moss, who was impossibly short and quirky by the standards of the time. "It was a bit scary for the Vogue people," Teller says. "We were kind of free-spirited and hippieish and kind of dreamy." They often shot with vintage clothes because the big design houses—"the Gucci Puccis," Teller calls them—wouldn't loan to them.
But they had worked it out, their idea of beauty: It was young and human, a direct sort of opposition to all that was glamazonian in the world. And it took: By the early nineties, The Face and i-D had moved outside the status of cult and were suddenly being mined for talent by the biggies. Soon, as Teller puts it, "those magazines became mainstream, and now everything is mainstream. The force was too strong not to listen to me. I was able to humanize the person wearing the clothes."
Clockwise from left: Charlotte Rampling cradling Teller, for Mark Jacobs (2003); Björk, Spaghetti Nero,
Venice, 2007; Nürnberg Winter 5, Nürnberg, 2005, from Teller's autobiographical series.
"I'm so used to seeing Juergen's body parts," Jacobs says of the Rampling photos. "When he shot Sofia [Coppola] for the perfume ads, his toes are in, like, every shot. Juergen is Juergen's biggest fan. Every time he sends me pictures, he calls and says, 'Marc. Here are the pictures. They are ****ing excellent.' "
Various Vogues began to hire Teller, and he loved the first-class travel, the luxurious accommodations, the large budgets. But it never felt quite right: "It's too dictatorshipness," Teller says. He found the mainstream editorial take on fashion to be way too camp, and in return, mainstream fashion found Teller way too dirty; they sought to scrub him up, temper the grunge. "They would put me with Linda Evangelista," Teller says, "and Patrick Demarchelier with Kate Moss."
He was far happier finding designers who shared his off-center ideas, like the urban minimalist Helmut Lang. "Juergen has a very strong individual voice," Lang says, "which is a rather rare accomplishment these days. I love his ability to say out loud what other people are afraid to even think." Teller became the documentarian of Lang's designs: "It was natural to have him express the soul of my work," Lang says. Teller's Helmut Lang ads were as clean as the clothes themselves.
In 1997, Marc Jacobs began to woo Venetia Scott to style his collections (she was pregnant at the time with the couple's daughter, Lola, who is now 11). Jacobs and his business partner, Robert Duffy, flew to London to persuade the reluctant Scott, but Jacobs and Teller wound up sharing a smoke out back. "I'd always loved Juergen's work," Jacobs says. "I saw in Juergen all the same things that I was responding to: the imperfection of what's real. It was not perverse at all, it was just my generation's sensitivity to what's attractive and right." There was no money for ads in those days (Jacobs had not yet been acquired by LVMH), but Jacobs turned to Teller and said, "I hear Kim Gordon's been wearing one of my dresses onstage. Can you take her picture?"
Teller photographed the Sonic Youth front woman, and a collaboration was born.
Teller went on to shoot many of Jacobs's friends, and the odd model, for his campaigns. In 2005, he photographed himself with Cindy Sherman, the pair made up to look like pale, terrifying prepubescent twins. He had Jacobs alter his clothes to fit a tiny, eerily adult Dakota Fanning. Most recently, he stuck Posh Spice in a shopping bag. "She is like a product," he says. "And she was in on the joke."
But Teller's most important Marc Jacobs ad, for his own career, anyway, began in 2004 and involves a collaboration with Charlotte Rampling.
It all started when a French actress of a certain age lost it upon seeing some photographs Teller had taken of her. "She said, 'You make me ten years older than I am,' and I said, 'You think you're ten years younger than you are.' And then she sort of kicked me out of her apartment, and I was really sort of devastated. I just thought, This is ****ing rubbish—this is really bad."
Despondent, Teller called his friend Rampling, who offered to cook him dinner. They talked about how it feels to be photographed, and how it feels to age. "I just thought, **** this, I'm going to photograph myself," he says. And then there the two of them were, in the Louis XV suite of the Hotel de Crillon, with Teller way too fat to fit into any of the Marc Jacobs samples save one terribly shiny pair of silver shorts.
"I thought, ****," Teller says, "I don't even f**king fit into these clothes. I'm really f**king stuck now."
So he pulled on the shorts in the bathroom. "I came out and I had my socks on and I had these shorts on and no top, and I just said, 'Ta-da!' And she said, 'Oh my God. What are we going to do?' And I said, 'Well, I don't know. But really, honestly'—and I could hardly bring it out of my mouth—I said, 'I just want to kiss you and fondle your breasts.' And she didn't say a word. She just leaned back in her armchair and went into her handbag and got a cigarillo out and lit it and the air was thick and I was mortified. And then she sort of dragged on her cigarette and said, 'Okay. Let's start. I'll tell you when to stop.' "
The result is an ad that is glamorous, decadent, arresting, and entirely unlike any other fashion advertisement you're likely to see in even the fattest September book.
"For me it was important that an over-60 woman is in a high-class fashion ad, or whatever you call it, and a 40-year-old overweight guy, instead of these anorexic young kids." It's like some sort of avant-garde Dove campaign, interested in amping up the glamour of fashion by removing its artifice but retaining the decadence of an ornate suite in a five-star hotel, all tricked out in the gilty style of Louis XV. Teller was so happy with the ad that he and Rampling returned to the Crillon and continued the shoot, eventually publishing a small book. The photos verge on pornographic: In one, an (uncircumcised) Teller is pissing into an orchid, right beside a rotting bowl of fruit. It's almost as if, by placing himself in the photographs looking naked, pudgy, and often sad, he has removed the sadism inherent in so much fashion photography: If a model is required to look vulnerable, well, then so will Teller.
Juergen's photographs are autobiographical," says David Maupin, his New York gallerist, "but they are biographical too. They tell you about him, but also about his subjects, also about Germany." Teller's German childhood was far from idyllic. He grew up by a forest near Nuremberg, scene of Fascist rallies and Triumph of the Will. But more to the point, his father was a nasty, abusive drunk. Young Juergen watched a lot of television, which he thinks was his biggest inspiration, visually. "That's where I became physically aware of watching and looking," he says. "Like, on this German crime show there was Nastassja Kinski and she kind of got raped by one of her students, and she was really young and extremely beautiful. That made a huge influence on me." Teller's family expected that he would go into the family business—stringing musical instruments—but he couldn't bear the idea and developed an allergy to the materials, which he now claims was psychosomatic. During Teller's second year in London, his father committed suicide.
A few years ago, right around the time of the distressed-French-actress incident, Teller decided to confront his past. He flew to Nuremberg and photographed himself, naked and squatting in the forest, naked and drinking and smoking on his father's grave. "It was a very difficult picture for my mother," Teller says, "but I was kind of saying, 'Hey, it's okay what you did and I'm still around and I have also my problems in terms of smoking and alcohol, but I'm good.' "
Teller split from Scott five years ago and has since married the London gallerist Sadie Coles (to understand the smallness of the fashion world, know that she represents other Jacobs stalwarts Elizabeth Peyton, TJ Wilcox, and John Currin). The couple's long-lashed, blue-eyed son, Ed, is now nearly 4, and he shouts, that Tuesday afternoon, to his father, "I love you, Dad. I'm going to the park, but I love you."
Right now, Teller is more into fashion than ever. "It just comes very easy to me these days," he says. "Autobiographical work—photographing myself—made it all much more easy." But he's done shooting himself for the moment, and wants to get back to gorgeous girls and gorgeous stuff. He's just photographed Carla Bruni, which pleased him most because it will impress his mom.
Teller's influence is everywhere. There's a similar rawness in the work of Terry Richardson—"He certainly took some of my ideas," Teller says, diplomatically—but it is not as subtle, as nuanced, as the work of Teller. And it's hard to imagine what American Apparel ads would look like had Teller not come first. "I really like that," Teller says, "because it looks effortless and it looks good and just, frankly, it's girls you want to ****."
Fashion for Teller remains rich. He's come a long way from being denied by the Gucci-Puccis, and he loves it. "Fashion designers in a funny sort of way are underestimated within their creativity," he says. "It's really quite amazing what they do. They are also very creative." He laughs a bit. "The whole thing is just fascinating to me: What people will do to themselves—and to what extent people do whatever you tell them—is just insane."[/QUOTE]

The Beefcake in the Backcourt
Another way in which ripped, raffish Rafael Nadal and his cardigan-wearing Swiss rival aren't anything alike.
Take your time. It's okay. That photo of Rafael Nadal on the back cover of this magazine is undeniably … what's a polite way to put it? Arresting. The mussed locks curled just so above the shoulders. The biceps curved like a particularly ripe aubergine. The shadows playing across the deeply grooved abs. All demand extended scrutiny.
When you're done, ask yourself this: Would Roger Federer ever pose for a photo like that?
Federer and Nadal, in many ways, are perfect foils. All-court finesse versus baseline power, fluid grace versus relentless will, Swiss precision versus Majorcan passion. And that opposition extends to their sense of style. Even if you've never watched a minute of their epic matches, a single glance at, say, the photo of them posing at net before the Wimbledon 2008 final would tell you all you needed to know. Federer wears a herringbone-patterned cashmere cardigan, emblazoned with a royal RF logo, and loose white shorts; Nadal is in a sporty sleeveless Nike-emblazoned top and shorts so long they're practically Capris.
Male tennis fashion has mostly been conservative, built on frequent returns to the preppy classicism of Lacoste and Perry. Federer, who has an interest in high fashion—Anna Wintour famously attends his matches, features him in shoots, and throws parties for him—has flirted with that tradition like no player before. (At previous years' Wimbledons, he has arrived at Centre Court in a white blazer.) So it's perhaps appropriate that the year in which Nadal finally conquered him—the Spanish player assumed the No. 1 ranking last week—was also the year in which Federer's look tipped over into full-blown prissy self-parody.
Nadal has made a point of saying "I don't have anything to do with the design" of his clothes. Yet he's managed to create what might be the most original look in men's tennis history: sleeveless tees, shin-length pants, and bandannas tied with a cheeky flourish. Most tennis style revolutions have happened in the women's game, from Gussy Moran's lace-trimmed panties to Serena Williams's skintight catsuit (see the time line here). Precedents for peacocking are pretty much limited to Björn Borg—known for his body-hugging outfits, headbands, and, for the time, prominent logo display—and Andre Agassi, who turned denim shorts, blond highlights, and garish color choices into a marketing tour de force.
And now here's Nadal. His has been called a "pirate" look, but the interesting thing about Nadal's style is that it's so feminine—a thinner, less physical player could not pull off those clothes. Maybe that's why he's been greeted with the kind of moral outrage—"Abominable!" "Infernal!"—usually reserved for the latest female player to show too much skin. Debate over the pants in particular, and Nadal's habit of reaching back to loosen them between points, has trespassed on the familiar terrain of comfort versus sex appeal. Are they too tight? Is it one of his many elaborate on-court rituals (Nadal's own explanation)? Or are his butt muscles just too big?
Men's tennis has always been a modest, gentlemanly affair, its sex appeal limited to handsome faces and wolf-whistles during between-game shirt changes. Not so with Nadal. Not only is he more muscular than any player before him, he's also more willing to be ogled. Which brings us back to those photos.

Charles Brownell
"On the surface it's this elaborate story of a writer doing all sorts of things to complete his masterpiece.

IIRC the original red dawn is more likely to happen.
No, China does indeed have the man-power to spare. Every day they get thousands of rural folks entering the cities to look for work and modern conveniences. They have a growing serious problem of not having the work for these "imigrants" in the cities, this is where their man-power would come from. |
There is no need for any foreign army to ever invade U.S. soil, they've successfully used our own economy to destroy us from within.
Less then 20 years we will be a glimmer of what we once where, we are the new Russia, does anyone want to invade modern day Russia? What would they have to gain? |
Slaves, we are just a bunch of poor weaponless country, they need to replentish there workforce after turning there population into an invasion force..
Really hot russian chicks?
The Chinese have a Military base in mexico so yes they could
invade this country. |
Well I think France thought about invading the US through Mexico once. We already let an army if millions come across that border already. But one country wont invade like in Red Dawn. If we fought back Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would probably call us racist and call for all guns to be taken out if our hands. California and the NYC would lead the way in capitulation.
The Chinese can't even get across to Taiwan right now. They do not have a Navy to support what it would need to land a force on the west coast. I was a lowly enlisted man in the Army but please hear me out anyway: I am guessing they would need 3-4 Divisions at least to gain a foothold. That is roughly around 42,000-56,000 men. On top of that they would need their equipment and resupply trains.logistical support, and they would need all of that all at once in order to be a realistic fighting force. I am not sure how many transport ships they would need to carry all of that. I am sure however many it is that they could not just sneak it all in and stage themselves unseen. No way the Chinese could do anything even close to that. I think you need to readdress your thinking a little bit. JMHO. |
The Following User Says Thank You to Expatman For This Useful Post: | ||
The only way I see an Invasion of America is after a Pre-Emptive EMP attack. And even then the chances of that would be slim as we would still have a functional Navy. Those Subs can be Devastating. Just my $0.02.
Virus attacks across the biggest city and in every state, when it breaks emp attack the country. Blame it on some other country, and move in to help (you found the cure!!). But doing something like that you would have to be so freaking insane that even hitler go "wtf" and it would probaly end in nukes flying around the world.
I guess the best thing would be to let it fall economical and then take over slowly by big corporation that owns votes in the congress, oooh wait... |
I don't see that anybody really wants the US, what they want is to destroy us. Muslims want the entire world to follow Allah, Chinese want to rule us, but I don't think they want the physical country, or rather, they will achieve it by financial means. They don't need to physically take over. Russians might physically want to take over, but not thinking they could actually do it.
As I said, I personally believe the use of EMP is our biggest threat. Carried out by the Iranians. Would eliminate us as a threat, without actually having to have the soldiers to take over. |
EMP. Possibly with a false flag op caused by those within our own government. Invasion, only by Mexico and central America.
Geeee....I wonder why...? Maybe because there's more chance of a backward / Ignorant sharia-law practicing country (who hates the evolved western-world) appeased & approved by Liberalism who would do something stupid first.... |

Brian McDermott
January 2010
Former Clubs
Slough, Woking
Pen Pic
Royals Manager Brian McDermott has quickly established himself as one of the most successful managers in the club's history despite being there over 18 months.
The former Slough Town manager took over the Royals in January 2010, hovering around the relegation zone and in the space of 4 months, he managed to turn them into play-offs contenders. He also led them to an FA Cup quater-final, beating Liverpool at Anfield in the process and finished in a highly credible 9th position.
The 2010/11 season was also considered a success for McDermott, leading the Royals to a 5th placed finish and masterminding them to Wembley. Only for them to lose out in the play-off final to Swansea 4-2.
McDermott, who was a winger in his playing career, enjoyed a successful playing career which started off with Arsenal and also saw him play for Swedish team IFK Norrköping in which he won Player of the Year in their respective league.

Classified By: Political Minister Counselor George Glass for reasons 1.
4 (b,d).
1. (C//NF) Summary: A well-placed FDP source said that on
the first day of coalition negotiations (October 5) between
the CDU, CSU and the FDP, FDP leader Westerwelle argued for
the removal of the remaining non-strategic nuclear weapons
from German soil. Interior Minister Schaeuble (CDU) asserted
that the weapons serve as a deterrent. Other foreign policy
issues discussed included support for Afghanistan and
Turkey's accession to the EU. Source said that Chancellor
Merkel (CDU) may push to complete the negotiations by October
18, but noted that the FDP is in no hurry. He provided
Emboffs with a list of the membership of the negotiations
plenary and working groups as well as timetable. Cabinet
composition will only be decided at the end of coalition
negotiations. End summary.
Westerwelle Firm on Removal of Nuclear Weapons
--------------------------------------------- -
2. (C//NF) Formal coalition negotiations between Guido
Westerwelle's Free Democratic Party (FDP), Chancellor
Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian
Social Union (CSU) on a coalition agreement began on October
5. FDP strategist shared with Emboffs and visiting Senior
Germany Desk Officer October 7 information on issues
discussed during the first two days of these negotiations as
well as the negotiations schedule and working group make-up.
Source serves as his party's notetaker for the negotiations
and has been a long-standing close Embassy contact.
3. (C//NF) Source said that on October 5 negotiations
included discussion on arms control in general and removal of
the remaining non-strategic nuclear weapons from German soil.
He said that Federal Interior Minister Schaeuble argued that
the weapons serve as a deterrent to Iran. (Note: Regarding
Schaeuble, source commented that he is "neurotic" in that he
sees threats everywhere. He questioned whether Schaeuble's
influence is as great as it once was and whether he will stay
in his position. End note.) According to source,
Westerwelle asserted that nuclear weapons on German soil do
not serve as a deterrent against Iran since they could not
reach Iran. He said that Westerwelle underlined that
President Obama is moving forward toward a "nuclear-free
world" and that he wants Germany to be in the lead. Source
said that Chancellor Merkel quipped in response that Germany
is not that important in this regard -- the world would
hardly take notice if there were action on this matter.
According to source, Merkel wanted to avoid discussion of
this topic. Source also said that there was criticism of
Social Democratic Party Foreign Minister Steinmeier that he
did not respond adequately to President Obama's Prague speech
in which he discussed arms control. In response to Poloff
query, source said that the issue of removal of nuclear
weapons is very important to Westerwelle and that he could
well seek to include something specific in the coalition
Turkey's EU Membership; Afghanistan; Transatlantic Relations
--------------------------------------------- ---------------
4. (C//NF) Source said that Turkey's accession to the EU was
also discussed, with general agreement that Turkey is not
ready for membership and could not fulfill membership
criteria. Source said that there was agreement that no
decision would have to be reached on this issue within the
next four years in any case. Westerwelle also spoke against
any type of automatic decision in favor of membership for
Turkey. There was also general agreement that the EU is not
ready for new members at this time beyond Croatia.
5. (C//NF) Afghanistan was also an issue, but source only
noted that there was general agreement on the need to
continue efforts in Afghanistan. Source also stressed that
the three parties support strong transatlantic relations and
continuity in foreign policy.
The Devil's in the Details; What's the Rush?
6. (C//NF) Source assessed some differences in Merkel's and
Westerwelle's approach to the negotiations, although he also
noted that the atmosphere was "very friendly and relaxed."
He observed that Merkel preferred less detail and more
general provisions, whereas Westerwelle was interested in a
detailed agreement that would guide the coalition over the
next four years. In addition, source noted that Merkel is
trying to push the negotiations along since she would like to
have the new government in place before she travels to
Washington in early November and before the EU summit at the
end of October. Source indicated that Westerwelle might try
to use Merkel's desire for speed to his advantage in the
negotiations. While he did not indicate that the FDP would
prolong negotiations intentionally, he noted that the FDP was
in no hurry to complete them.
Ministries Divided Among Parties Last
7. (C//NF) Regarding the possible make-up of the cabinet,
source said that no decisions will be made until the end of
coalition negotiations and that the current membership of
working groups should not be seen as an indication of who
will end up in which ministry (see ref B). Source also said
that the coalition agreement may only say which ministerial
posts go to which coalition parties, without any names being
given. The names would only be provided later, perhaps after
the Chancellor is voted in by the Bundestag. Source noted
that only two positions are certain: Angela Merkel will be
Chancellor and Guido Westerwelle will be Vice Chancellor. He
added that Westerwelle will most likely also become the next
foreign minister. He then commented that during October 5
negotiations, Economics Minister zu Guttenberg demonstrated
his interest in foreign policy and Hermann Otto Solms (FDP)
showed he could play an increasingly important role in the
financial area. Source provided Emboffs with the names of
those serving in the plenary rounds of the negotiations and a
schedule of when those rounds will take place.
--Plenary Members from the CDU: Chancellor Merkel, Interior
Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, Chancellery Chief Thomas de
Maziere, Education Minister Annette Shavan, CDU/CSU Caucus
Chief Volker Kauder, CDU General Secretary Ronald Pofalla,
Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Juergen
Ruettgers, Minister President of Hesse Roland Koch, Minister
President of Lower Saxony Christian Wulff.
--Plenary Members from the CSU: Minister President of Bavaria
and CSU Chair Horst Seehofer, Economics Minister Karl-Theodor
zu Guttenberg, Head of CSU Bundestag group Peter Ramsauer,
CSU Secretary General Alexander Dobrindt, Bavaria State
Parliament President Barbara Stamm, Bavaria Plenipotentiary
Markus Soeder, Bavaria Finance Minister Georg Fahrenschon,
Bavaria Justice Minister Beate Merk.
--Plenary Members from the FDP: Party Chair Guido
Westerwelle, FDP Secretary General Dirk Niebel, Bundestag
Vice President Hermann Otto Solms, FDP Deputy Caucus
Chairperson Birgit Homburger, Lower Saxony Minister for
Economics Philipp Roesler, FDP deputy chair Rainer Bruederle,
Deputy Minister President for NRW Andreas Pinkwart, Deputy
Chairperson Bundestag Education Committee Cornelia Pieper,
Bavaria State Chairperson Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger.
8. (C//NF) Westerwelle has made the removal of nuclear
weapons from Germany one of his flagship issues in the
foreign policy arena and has raised this in various fora in
the past. It is not clear how hard he will push to have a
specific provision on this included in the coalition
agreement. Judging by source's description of the
discussion, Merkel would rather have a more general provision
regarding disarmament included and preferred to avoid
prolonged discussion on this issue.
9. (C//NF) The CDU/CSU is the only party that still supports
German participation in the NATO nuclear share and the
deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons in Germany. While the
CDU/CSU leadership is willing to fight for the current
policy, it is concerned that the ongoing Nuclear Posture
Review could significantly change U.S. policy on the
deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons in Europe,
putting it at a significant political disadvantage vis-a-vis
the rest of the German political establishment. In fact,
senior Chancellery officials have already requested that they
be pre-notified about any possible change in U.S. policy (ref
C). We expect that in these coalition negotiations, the
CDU/CSU may hedge their bets against a possible U.S. policy
change by agreeing to language that commits the next
government to seek consultations on this issue at NATO, with
the caveat that any decision must be made by the Alliance as
a whole and must take account of the large number of Russian
non-strategic nuclear weapons oriented against NATO member
states. Post will seek meetings with source after the
plenary negotiation rounds to see if additional readouts are
10. (C//NF) FDP source is a young, up-and-coming party
loyalist, who has offered Emboffs internal party documents in
the past. Excited with his role as FDP negotiations
notetaker, he seemed happy to share his observations and
insights and read to us directly from his notes. He also
provided copies of documents from his "negotiations" binder.

Wine Foreplay: 5 Tips for Priming Your Stemware
Taking proper care of your stemware is essential to the enjoyment of wine.
Photo by Jeremy Parzen
Every Thanksgiving, it happens all across America: Well-intentioned hosts do a disservice to wine appreciation by serving wines in dusty, dirty or detergent-tainted stemware.
Thanksgiving is a time when families get together. As a result, it's one of the few times each year when people use all of the stemware that they have in the house, oftentimes reaching deep into the glassware cabinet for "stems" that have been collecting dust all year.
It's also one of the times of year when people bring out their best wines. Tragically, so much of that wine is wasted in glasses ill-suited to accommodate the nuance of fine wine.
Here are five tips for prepping your stemware for Thursday's feast, whether you'll be serving wine in glass or crystal.
5. Wash Your Stemware Ahead of Time
A side table adorned with a battery of resplendent wine glasses will add panache to your party. And it's always great to have extra stemware on hand for unexpected guests.
4. Wash Your Stemware Without Detergent
Remember: Wine has alcohol in it and one of the miracles of wine is that it sanitizes its vessels. (It's one of the reasons that wine plays such an important role in the human experience.) Use hot water and a dish towel to remove any traces of lipstick or sediment.
3. Dry Your Stemware Well
After washing your glasses, use a dish towel to dry them well. This is more important than it may seem: Tap water has minerals in it that can taint the glass and if you leave moisture in the glass to dry, the liquid will aggressively collect dust from the air as it evaporates. VERY IMPORTANT: When drying your glasses, be sure not to twist them from the base; otherwise, you risk snapping the stem.
2. Never -- I Repeat -- NEVER Serve Wine in Warm Stemware
Pouring wine into a warm glass will drastically affect its aroma and flavor. It's one of the reasons that you should prepare your stemware beforehand. Having to wash and dry stemware at the last minute because unexpected guests have arrived is the last thing you want to do when you're about to serve your Thanksgiving feast to the people you love.
1. Prime the Glasses with Wine
In antiquity, the Romans would pour a little bit of wine on the ground -- a libation -- as an offering to the gods. Not only did this sanitize the vessel, it also helped to remove any unwanted dust. Wine -- NOT WATER -- is the ideal liquid for prepping the glasses. The two main elements in wine are water (H2O) and alcohol. When you add even the smallest amount of water to that balance by virtue of water residue, you upset the equilibrium. The alcohol and acidity in the wine are ideal for rinsing the glass of dust and detergent taint.
Here's how you do it: Line up, say, six glasses; pour a very small amount of wine into one glass, just enough to be able to cover its entire inner surface when swirled; then swirl the glass; then pour the wine into the next glass; and repeat.
Whether you're drinking a humble Beaujolais Nouveau or an aged Barolo or Burgundy (and even if you're serving your wine in common glassware), these steps will ensure that the wine can show its best.

Power Cutting Tools
There are three types of power saws that together can accomplish almost everything you'll need to do. The most useful is a circular saw. It will crosscut lumber and plywood to the right size, making straight cuts with ease. The most common saw uses a blade with a diameter of 7-1/4 inches. Most come with a steel-tipped combination blade, adequate for all the projects in this book. Steel blades dull quickly, though, so purchase a more durable carbide-tipped combination blade as a replacement. If you buy only one power saw, this is the one to get.
A jigsaw (sometimes called a saber saw) also crosscuts and rips lumber, though not as fast as a circular saw. Its chief characteristic is its ability to cut curves. Some models feature variable speed control, which is handy for cutting materials other than wood, such as plastic or metal. Some jigsaws feature orbital cutting; the blade moves forward and back in addition to up and down, making the saw cut much faster than one without orbital action.
A reciprocating saw is handy for demolition work. It utilizes a variety of blades with teeth designed to cut different materials, including wood, nails, screws, and even steel pipes. Its blade can reach into tight places to make a cut, such as between framing members.
Circular Saw: Buying one that's right for youThere are dozens of models of circular saws on the market. Here are some tips for selecting the one that's right for you.
First, look for a good-quality saw in the popular sidewinder or helical-drive style, so named because the motor shaft is aligned beside the blade and drives the blade through gears. The blade is usually to the right of the handle, but some models come with the blade on the left. Find the model that's most comfortable for you. A good one will easily handle any basic project.
You probably don't need a worm-drive saw. These heavy, relatively expensive tools are designed to withstand all-day framing jobs. The worm-gear drive places the motor behind the shaft that drives the blade. This makes it easy to see where the blade is cutting but awkward for novices to use.
Second, don't concern yourself with a saw's horsepower rating, which is usually measured when the saw is not under load. A saw's amperage rating is a better indication of its power. Find a saw rated at least 12 or 13 amps.
The saw should have a solid extruded or cast base, rather than a light stamped-steel base. Check that the tilt and height adjustments work smoothly and tighten easily and firmly. Large knobs or wing nuts tighten easily; levers work even better.
Finally, make sure the saw is comfortable to use. If you can try different saws at the store, make some test cuts. Make sure you like the grip and the position of the switch and safety-guard lever.
Using a circular saw: CrosscuttingTo make a crosscut with a circular saw, draw a line across the piece, then cut on the waste side of the line. Support the piece so the waste falls freely away from the blade and the wider part of the saw's base (or shoe) rides on the part of the board that is supported.
Using a circular saw: Guided crosscuttingIf you need a precise cut, use a layout square as a guide. Line up the blade with the drawn line at the edge of the board. Then hold the square across the board with one edge against the side of the saw base. Push the saw along the square to make the cut.
Using a circular saw: Cutting plywoodMark your layout lines with a chalk line. Support the panel on both sides of the line with a series of 2x4s on a pair of sawhorses. Clamp a straightedge or board on the piece as a guide for the bottom plate of the circular saw. Set the saw to cut slightly deeper than the plywood thickness.
Safety First: Preventing accidents and injuriesThe importance of safety for home improvement and remodeling projects cannot be overemphasized. Mistakes can have serious consequences. Before starting any project, review all the steps involved. If you are uncomfortable with any procedure, find a carpenter or other knowledgeable person to help you.
Safety equipment should be among the first tools you purchase. Start with a pair of safety glasses or goggles. If you wear prescription glasses, get goggles that fit over them or invest in a pair of prescription safety glasses. Try them on before purchasing. Find a pair that is comfortable so you won't mind wearing them whenever you're working. Make a habit of wearing safety glasses whenever working, period. That way you won't be tempted to make "just one quick cut" without them.
Next is hearing protection. There are many types of earplugs and earmuffs available. Earmuffs provide more complete protection. Again, try them on, if possible, to test for comfort.
Dust masks are necessary during demolition and drywall finishing. Check the label before you buy and match the mask to the type of work you are doing. In general, masks with a single strap are rated for nuisance dust. These keep sawdust out of your lungs. For sanding drywall or ripping out plaster, you'll want a mask rated for fine dust. These thicker masks usually have two straps for better protection.
Protect your hands with work gloves when handling work such as unloading materials, demolition, and cleaning up debris. Do not wear them when you are working with power tools. You are more likely to lose your grip or fumble a tool or piece with gloves on. In addition, gloves may get caught in a spinning blade or drill bit.
Finally it is always a good idea to have a first aid kit on hand.

Due to the Envy 4's discrete GPU, it doesn't have as much space within its chassis for a larger 6-cell battery, although this is partially compensated by its higher capacity battery. Comparatively, the 15.6-inch Acer M3 is even bigger, and as such, it does have the available internal space for a large battery. We tested all devices with Powermark V1.1.1's Balanced profile benchmark, which simulates everyday usage through web browsing, word processing, video viewing and light gaming workloads.
Both the HP Envy 4 and Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 were tested using their integrated graphics option selected since these everyday workloads don't benefit much from discrete graphics and the fact that we need to compare against the Sony Vaio T and the reference notebooks that are only equipped with integrated graphics.
Specifications/Notebook | HP Envy 4 | Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 | Sony VAIO T | Intel Ultrabook (Ivy Bridge) |
Battery | 4 Cell Li-ion / 62 WHr | 6 Cell Li-ion / 58 WHr | 6 Cell Li-ion / 45 WHr | 6 Cell Li-ion / 47WHr |
Dimensions | 340 x 235.8 x 19.8mm | 375 x 250 x 20mm | 323 x 226 x 17.8mm | 329 x 223 x 16mm |
Weight | 1.8kg | 2.2kg | 1.6kg | 1.46kg |
Despite the HP Envy's 4-cell battery, its battery life was quite respectable, reaching 3 hours and 39 minutes, more than enough for watching a movie.
Power consumption on the Envy 4 was the worst of the four, but still decent only because of its larger 14-inch screen as opposed to the comparison notebooks using a 13.3-inch screen. Furthermore, there wasn't much difference between the tested notebooks.
Our portability index takes specs like weight, volume and battery life into consideration and tells you just how portable a machine is. The Envy 14's slightly larger size and weight brought down its overall score compared to the other Ultrabooks on our list (except for the larger and heavier Acer M3) but it was much better than the multimedia notebooks on our chart such as HP's Pavilion DV6. Overall, it seemed to be in a decent spot considering the Sony VAIO T's position which was somewhat underwhelming for a 13.3-inch Ultrabook.

You did such an amazing job with this cosplay. Love the 'water bending'!!
Awesome! I love what you used for "water"; that was a clever idea. ^^

Koria replied on 03-01-2012 at 12:47 PM: Finally did a Patil twin this year. 'Twas for the Deathly Hollows pt 2 premiere! |
Thats really good thinking there!

@KVC: Well, I don't really have anyone who'd follow me out to a scenery place to take pics of me ;_; But then again, I haven't really asked anyone either, XD I should work on that :P

Oooou! When did you make this? It looks so good!

work it out wednesday!: burpees
work it out? a new feature on the blog?
you know it.
this is me.
doin' my thing with sweat in my eye.
I've been thinking that since I'm a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I should share some workouts with you. These will be the types of workouts that I would do with the boot camp class that I teach. If you move quickly, you can get it done quickly. And I try to make sure that you don't need a lot of equipment so you can do this stuff at home. So here's my first workout to share with you.
*if you're not sure what any of these are, Google!
Let's get in shape!! woo.

(not so) spicy thai noodles
the mister hates spicy food. it doesn't balance out his fiery personality.
so when I found this recipe, I knew he may put up a fight.
"what are you making?"
"oh just this thai noodle dish"
"is it spicy?"
geez, why does he always ask this question.
I used very few red pepper flakes.
in turn, my noodles were a little bland, but mister was happy and his personality remained balanced.
good flavor combination...

Paul Wilson was in the Whitsundays to catch all the action of the 20th Hamilton Island Race Week, sponsored by Hahn Premium.
Once again I have had the good fortune to be able to clip on my media pass, dust off the camera, and cover my seventh Race Week.
But as far as media goes, I'm still very much the 'new kid in the block!'.
The legendary Ian 'Stripey' Grant has been to all 20 race weeks. And then there is the voice of yachting in Australia, the quiet and unassuming Bob Ross. He's been to 19 race weeks and it is always a pleasure and an honour to share a media boat with him.
Then there is Richard Bennett and Ian Mainsbridge, each are photographers who need no introduction as their respective coverage of yachting events have made them both household names in yachting circles. But you would struggle to find two more diametrically opposed characters. Each is an absolute master of his craft, but Ian is bold and 'in your face' never short on an opinion or theory, whilst Richard prefers the more subtle approach.
Once again I have enjoyed the pleasure of their company all too briefly, and just pray that a fraction of their skill and ability with a camera can rub-off enough to assist me with my own results.
But as well as these guys, there is a raft of 'journos from the dailies and other publications, including the electronic media, who set up each year to ensure that the results are spread far and wide to an enthusiastic audience who seem to be unable to get enough of race week, and not just in Australia. Because of the high number of Kiwi entrants, our friends across the Tasman are also well supported with media. In fact the Race Week web site receives up to 10,000 hits a day during the week.
So why am I talking so much about the media? Because I want to try and get across to you just how big this event has truly become. The media contingent alone makes up about 53 people, and they descend on Hamilton Island much as do the media at a Formula One car race. Media helicopters constantly buzz the fleet, while media boats zig and zag their way through the fleets, much to the annoyance of some of the crews. Funnily enough these same crews don't seem to complain too much when they see a spectacular photo of their boat in print or on the net!
The fact that such a media circus is in attendance is proof enough that the week is of major significance to Australian yachting.
So what of the racing itself?
Well it was as usual hotly contested in every division. Around 170 yachts competed during the week, with more than half making the long journey from New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. But entrants also came from Western Australia and New Zealand.
A disappointing aspect for me was the 'no show' of the maxi yachts. George Snow, Bob Oatley and Grant Wharington had all hoped to have maxi yachts ready for Race Week, but unfortunately it was not to be.
George Snow is still awaiting the outcome of enquiries with the AYF relevant to the legality of his, yet to be built, canting keel maxi. Bob Oatley's beautiful Wild Oats was still in England at the time and the build schedule for Grant Wharington's maxi just couldn't meet the deadlines.
All these men consider Race Week to be the perfect venue for testing boats and perfecting crew work in the lead-up to the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. The fact that they all wanted to be at Race Week once again confirms the regatta's importance.
The lack of the seriously big boats, despite being a bit of a disappointment for me, did concentrate media attention (particularly my own) on the rest of the IRC fleet, which can sometimes miss out on the publicity that they deserve, and let's face it, rarely does the handicap winner come from the ranks of the maxi yachts.
So in near perfect sailing conditions for the entire week, we were able to witness the cut and thrust of international standard yacht racing at its best.
Only on one day did the winds drop to such a level that a race had to be delayed and then cancelled due to time limits. For the remainder, it was 'all systems go!'
I even saw a smile on the face of race organiser and director Warwick Hoban. Things must've been going well!
As you can see from the pictures, there was no shortage of colour, action and excitement. The Sydney 38s turned it on once again, leaving me wondering just how far this most exciting class of yacht can go. The eventual winner was Cameron Miles on board Rush separated by only one point from Australian yachting legend Lou Abrahams onboard Another Challenge.
I never tire of watching this fleet race. It is one design racing at its best.
This year Club Marine sponsored the Cruising division, which has now grown to be the largest division raced during the week. In fact, combined with the Premier and IRC cruising divisions, cruising style yachts made up more than half of the entire fleet. Usually distinguished by their white sails and BBQs mounted on the stern, this is the division that tends to see more of the Whitsundays than the other fleets, as the organisers tend to send this fleet off around the islands as opposed to racing around the cans.
So who won the week outright? Well it was Bob Oatley on board his beautiful pocket maxi Another Duchess usually having to contend with coming in behind the bigger boats, this year Another Duchess was the big boat, and went on to beat much highly fancied handicap favourites such as Joe, Heaven Can Wait, and the boat full of Kiwi Rock Stars, Georgia.
But the week is also so much more than just yacht racing. The daily entertainment list would have you exhausted without having been out on the water all day. The oh, so appropriate major sponsor Hahn Premium, reported that more than 25,000 Hahn Premium stubbies were enjoyed during the week, which is an Australian record for the amount of Hahn consumed at one event.
Also, the island's food and beverage manager, the larger than life Geoffrey Nocher, advised me that along with the record levels of beer consumed, the yachties were also able to put away more than two tonnes of prawns, three tonnes of steak, one tonne of fish, along with 15,120 eggs and half a tonne of bacon.
Phew! How's that for a shopping bill?
Needless to say it all ads up to a fantastic week of racing and fun. The ultimate cure for a long southern hemisphere winter.

Dobai, Sarah (2010) Splitting in two. [Show/Exhibition]
Type of Research: | Show/Exhibition | ||||||||||||
Creators: | Dobai, Sarah | ||||||||||||
Description: | Group exhibition of lens-based artists whose works explore various states of disquiet, anxiety, and tension. This exhibition brings together a group of artists who engage with states of hostility and conflict in order to consider strategies of representation available to address the darker side of human life. This exhibition relates to Darkside II (Winterthur 2009) in considering how the plethora of images of conflict and violence in our news-saturated daily lives can be reflected through the use of found imagery, documentary, archival, and staged photography. |
Other Contributors: |
Additional Information (Publicly available): | SARAH DOBAI Sarah Dobai works with photography, film and video, she has exhibited widely in the UK, Europe and America. Recent exhibitions include On the Nature of Things, Kamloops Art Gallery, Canada (2011), A Fire Is Set in His Masters House, Chapter Arts, Cardiff (2011), Theatres of the Real, Antwerp FotoMuseum (2009), Darkside 2, Winterthur FotoMusuem (2009), Studio/ Location Photographs, Works| Projects (2009), Sarah Dobai; Photographs and a Film, Galerie Zurcher, Paris (2008), Dispari Dispari, Reggio Emilia (2008) Innocence and Experience, Gimpel Fils, London (2007) and Sarah Dobai, Artists' Space, New York (2003). In 2006 Kettles Yard, Cambridge presented a major solo show of selected photographs and a specially commissioned two screen video projection 'Model 280'. In the mid 1990's Sarah Dobai completed an MFA at the University of British Columbia after Canada after which she established her practice with a consciousness of international debates around photography and the moving image. From 2004-2006 she was awarded a Residency at Delfina Studio Trust, London and in 2008 she was made a Visual Arts Laurete by the Centre International des Recollets, Paris. Her work is featured in Charlotte Cotton's 'The Photograph as Contemporary Art' Thames & Hudson, and in the second edition of Michel Poivert's' 'La Photographie Contemporaine', Flammarion Presse 2010. She lives and works in London. RESEARCH STATEMENT My work with photography, video and film combines studio-based and on location approaches to reflect on the everyday and its relationship with the media of photography and film. Whilst my work with the still and moving image have been wide-ranging, the work has seen the development of prevailing themes and methodologies predicated around the dynamics of space, place and the human subject as understood through our own intimate experience and through the images of collective experiences represented on TV, in the cinema and in literature. Recent research has led to the production of a number of film and video works, Short Story Piece, Model 280 and Nettlecombe which are distinctive for the way that they both engage in and actively defy the conventions of mainstream illusionistic and narrative cinema. The recent series Studio/ Location Photographs focusses on the image of the shopping mall and how its concern with commodity and consumption effects the way the space functions and how people behave there. The series juxtaposes photographs of un-peopled sites shot in malls, with images of actor/models taken in the studio. In the studio the models are pictured in a set whose construction intentionally echoes the architectural qualities of the urban spaces photographed. The demeanour of the models in the studio photographs move between the enacted and un-posed, drawing parallels between people's uneasy relation to public space in everyday life and how a model finds 'a way to be' in the theatrical context of the photo-shoot. 'Studio/ Location Photographs' continues my on-going use of photography and film to consider artifice as a condition of everyday life. I am currently developing a new film which plays narrative or psychological readings against the exposure and recognition of the conditions of the production of the works themselves.

Today will be partly cloudy with a high of -2C(28F) with a windchill as low as -13C(9F). The winds will be from the South at 10 to 15 km/h.
Tonight will be partly cloudy with fog overnight. The low will be -13C(9F). the wind from the SW at 15 to 20 km/h shifting to the WNW after midnight will cause a wind chill low as -13C(9F)

The blogs wouldn't be the same without the view from the basement window, or hearing about your projects or Abbey's walks. You may think your life is boring, but hearing about your daily escapades are an inspiration to those of us who have seen your struggles with your health these past few years. I remember a year or so ago, you were lamenting about not being able to use the snowblower. Now, not only have you got it running, but you cleared the driveway! If you are bored with putting up a blog, it is of course your right! Sometimes when it's time for me to find some new cams for my blog, I don't want to fool with it, either, but I carry on, because ultimately, I like the challenge, and folks like it when I post new cams! Blog or no blog, we still care about you, the Queen, and Abbey, so give us a holler if you shut it down! |
How will I see snow out of your basement window? Do what makes you happy! But still send me some snow! |
Tony I have to agree with MUSH and Shores, you do need to keep posting even if its only as a lurker on our blogs so we know you are ok. Just a "Hi" now and then would be great. With winter upon us, its time for you to put your baking skills back in order and start making those delicious pies, cakes and treats you have become famous for. Myself I hope to get back to writing again or at least make an attempt at it. Also would like to get back to my pastels, working on some art projects. I have ideas, its just finding the energy to start. Well anyway dear one, what ever you decide to do, know we are here if you need us. |
If you do close it let me know how you are doing on e-mail.I can post it on my blog for people to see.:) |
Oh, my. Well, maybe you could take a vacation, or leave it up and just post a couple of times a week. Do what seems best to you, though. These things aren't meant to be a chore or something that eats away at other projects you'd like to do! Believe it or not, we do like keeping up with you, so a post now and then would be good. Otherwise, we're all going to be thinking, "What's up with Tony and Abbey?" |

By: Mayor Terry Yemen
October has come and gone and we're now officially into November already. I was reflecting on all the projects we worked on over the summer, and our public works department should be commended for their cooperation and hard work. The town worked and partnered on many projects such as the beautification of the Highway 9 north and south entrances, new banners, the new waterslide, Hillsview Phase II subdivision, Telus, downtown water line replacement, and so much more! As I look ahead to this winter and spring we'll be eager to start work on the Aquaplex modernization, downtown signage, and filtration system work on one of our icons, the Drumheller spray fountain.
As a member of the Economic Development Task Force I'm excited to announce the development of a new storefront improvement grant. This is a 50% matching grant up to $5000.00 to help business owners across our great town with upgrades to their storefront. Application forms will be available on our website and at the Town Hall front desk starting January 1st, 2016. In addition to the grant, the Task Force is actively researching membership and benefits with the Central Alberta Economic Partnership which will allow us to work cooperatively with other municipalities and build valuable economic development connections.
In closing, I'd like to remind everybody to take time to remember the fallen men and women who fought bravely for Canada in wars and in peace keeping missions around the world. I recently had the privilege of working in Ukraine during their civic elections and I realized how great we have it in Canada. Please attend a Remembrance Day service in your community and lets never forget our brave men and women in uniform.

Dry leaf smell: Like marmalade, but with herbal notes. Rather odd but pleasant nonetheless.
Steeped leaf smell: A bit like a wet hamster.
Taste: I'm not a fan of chamomile, but I guess this wasn't too bad. Kind of tastes like chrysanthemum tea. The aroma was off-putting though. There also seems to be this pineapple-like aftertaste. I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing. Oh but I like the mint in the tea!

Possible thunderstorms up and down the East Coast on Wednesday could affect air and highway travel on the busiest travel day of the year. Local forecasters say coastal storms the day before Thanksgiving have a good chance of affecting flights in and out of T.F. Green Airport that day. The good news is it looks like any rain or high winds will clear out by Thanksgiving Day on Thursday.

Because of the Grand Ol' South Tour I didn't get to post about this until now, but it doesn't matter because May is not the only month I rock my Asian heritage.
To celebrate, Krispy from A Nudge In the Right Direction and I will be your Asian ambassadors. Send us your questions about anything Asian from why Korean girls get eye surgery to what Krispy and I consider our ethnic identity. We're spilling our yellow secrets!
Our Q&A will debut at the end of the month...in VLOG form. That's right, we're putting our moving pictures into the interwebz. It sounded like a good idea at the time. I blame Ali Cross.
Leave your questions in the comments and stay tuned for more Asian-American goodness, including the Asian's Guide to the South.
*UPDATE* Apparently you can ask us anything. We'll respond. Maybe in Chinese.
