What you should know about bronze sculptures
Material of a bronze statue
Bronze is a very hard and at the same time weatherproof material. It consists mostly of copper, which amounts to about 90%, to which about 10% of tin is added. As it is therefore a mix of two metals, the resulting bronze is categorised as an alloy. The advantage of the bronze material of the sculptures and figurines is that, in contrast to other metals, it does not corrode in the usual way. After some time, it is possible that verdigris will cover the surface, but it can simply be washed off with a sponge and some water. Naturally, this should be done with a cleanser that is specialised in dealing with the bronze material, as it brings back the metal's old brilliance. This way it can be guaranteed that the bronze sculpture will keep up its appearance for decades. Yet, one should obtain from using a sponge that is too hard (e.g. a sponge used for stainless steel), as this could lead to scratches on the sculptures that cannot be removed.
Quality criteria for your bronze sculpture
A sculpture that is made of bronze should meet some criteria, the quality of the production being one of the most important ones.
Furthermore, it is of huge importance to consider that bronze builds a patina which develops either as a result of environmental impacts or because it was induced by using chemical substances. The resulting colours may vary: with a high amount of copper, the resulting material will have more of a red colour tint, whereas a high amount of tin will result in more of a reddish brown or even a green or yellow hue.
Individual steps of a skilful production
Bronze figurines and sculptures are usually produced by using the lost wax technique. This work should be done by an experienced bronze caster. First, a wax mould of the object is created, which is then coated in silicone. When the silicone has finished hardening, it is followed by a plaster mould coating which is being reinforced. With it, a wax model is being cast, which is then embedded in fireclay and is consequently able to drain off through little holes during the heating process. Liquid bronze is poured in and after the object has cooled down, it is freed from the fireclay coating. The last step is to work on the surface of the material, which means it is being cleansed, polished and sealed. The finished bronze sculptures are both weatherproof and hardy.
Figurines made of bronze — varieties and differences
Statues and sculptures can take on all kinds of forms. Be it animals, humans, landscapes or geometric symbols such as trapeziums or cuboids. The most popular, of course, belong to the categories of humans and animals. Principally, one can distinguish between antique Greek statues and garden statues of the contemporary art period. Their differences are in the affordability and the processing of the material, especially when one takes into account that the sculptors in the antiquity did not have the same equipment that is used by modern artists nowadays to create those figurines.
Bronze figurines — exceedingly popular
Bronze sculptures are quite popular, especially amongst collectors, but also as exhibition objects on desks or in waiting rooms. In former times, many wealthy people decorated their rooms with these gems, they gave them away as presents or started collections. Especially the handicraft of the figurines was immensely popular with connoisseurs and this was also what made those sculptures so unique. Nowadays, thanks to modern production processes, the highest quality can be offered at a good price. This is what makes bronze figurines affordable for everyone. The offer ranges from animal sculptures and Art Deco figurines to Art Nouveau statues, erotic nudes, military statues and garden ornaments. Additionally, there is also a supply of Greek statues and replicas of many a well-known and popular bronze sculpture.
Bronze animal sculptures — a piece of nature in your home
Animal sculptures made of bronze are popular works of art and are very accurately reproduced. Being a challenge to the artists' ingenuity, knowledge and proficiency, the many species of animals are, depending on their weight and their size, part of living rooms, terraces, gardens and ponds. An animal lover will be able to find their favourite animals in a wide variety of goods and is often spoilt for choice. However, there are four animals that particularly attract both art enthusiasts as well as artists themselves: birds, bulls, cats and elephants.
Bronze birds: animal sculptures that symbolise freedom
Birds made of bronze are among the most popular animal sculptures. They are symbols of naturalness and freedom, and they evoke the calming chirping of songbirds in one's head. Consequently, they provide a pleasant atmosphere. Bronze birds are most often used to decorate fountains or gardens in general, but they also look good in a living room where they take a piece of nature from the exterior to the interior.
Bronze sculptures of cats: aesthetic and grace in its purest form
Regarded as being sacred in ancient Egypt, cat figurines are now provided a home in the house and garden. With their grace, they adorn vitrines and shelves, and they also find a shadowy place in people's front gardens. In the past, they assumed the role of sacrosanct household idols. These noble bronze animal sculptures symbolise a characteristic portrayal of our domestic cats.
Bulls as sculptures: pride and fertility cast in bronze
The mystical bull has always been revered as strong and invincible. In every cultural group it has been the symbol of pride and fertility, embodying divine powers and an air of Egyptian culture. These unique figurines exude a feeling of invincibility.
Elephants as decoration: symbols of fortune and contentment
Knowledge and strength are the characteristics that the elephant is attributed with in Chinese mythology. Its wisdom and sensitivity are also reflected in the bronze sculptures. The raised trunk is viewed as a sign of good fortune, which is why the elephant as a lucky charm is welcome as a bronze figurine in every home, bestowing the inhabitants with luck and confidence.
Sculptures as humankind's oldest form of art
The oldest form of art in the history of humankind is the sculpture. The most primitive forms were created during the Stone Age in the form of tools intended for everyday use. The first real sculpture was a lion humanoid that, according to estimates, was created 35,000 years BC. Nowadays, sculptures are an integral part of the contemporary art scene. Created from different materials and formed into a wide variety of shapes, sculptures let the hearts of art enthusiasts and laymen alike beat faster.
Timeless art that lasts through epochs
As bronze sculptures can be adapted to the respective epoch and artistic genre, they never go out of fashion. At the same time, the high artistry and modest elegance of the material enables the bronze figurines to give off an air of unobtrusiveness. Furthermore, they adapt to a room's interior design and the existing home accessories in a discrete way. Contemporary art and abstract sculptures in gardens and on terraces, on the other hand, enthral many an art lover with their extravagance.
Viennese erotic nudes
Erotic nudes are small sculptures that are cast in bronze. A unique characteristic of them is that only Viennese producers were allowed to create them. During the 19th and 20th centuries, these sculptures were widely spread, whereas nowadays, they more often are popular with collectors. Around 1900 there were a lot of producers of erotic nudes, however, a lot of them had to close their shops in the following decades. Additionally, a lot of the original Viennese erotic nudes were melted down in order to produce weapons and ammunition between the two world wars. Now, there are only a few producers left who manually create Viennese erotic nudes. In our Bronze Shop you will find a wide-ranging assortment of Viennese erotic nudes for sale, originating from artists such as Duprè, Lambeaux, Milo and Zach.
Viennese erotica with suggestive and creatively erotic figurines
Erotic nudes is the name given to Viennese bronze figurines that were depicted in the nude. There are several different portrayals, naked women who are in various more or less suggestive situations being the most popular scenarios. Those were produced for smoking rooms and especially men were delighted by those unique specimen. Also mythical creatures like fauns or devils were depicted, often in the middle of sexual acts with women, female slaves or a phallus. There were next to no limits for Viennese erotic nudes, which is why they are so treasured and well-renowned.
Contemporary art and minimalistic bronze sculptures
The bronze depiction of the human or animalistic body leads to modest and clear lines in contemporary art. The reduction to what is most important leads to an accentuation of the movement or idleness, the gestures and facial expressions of the sculpture. With moved bodies, this leads to the impression that the flow of movement is standing still for a moment. Therefore, contemporary sculptures stimulate the imagination and emotions of the viewer. The depicted figurines range from solitary figures or animals to couples or even groups of people. Some bronze sculptures portray a nude female dancer in motion who is sometimes playing with a ball, or they show a dancing couple which seems to have paused their dance for just a moment.
Buying sculptures at Bronze Shop
The desire for elegantly decorating one's own living or business space by itself often leads to the question whether contemporary bronze sculptures should be included in the furnishing ideas. Bronze figurines very distinctively express one's own taste and, if chosen wisely, are always an aesthetic eye-catcher. The same is true for the decoration of gardens, where some objects can even have a meditative appeal if the surrounding area is designed accordingly. Contemporary sculptures possess a unique expressiveness thanks to their own style and are therefore very popular.
Where can one buy bronze sculptures?
Bronze sculptures and figurines can be bought both on-site as well as in an online shop. The advantages of online shops are detailed photos and descriptions of the objects. Additionally, you are able to choose which sculpture suits you best at your own pace. Due to fast shipping options, the ordered bronze statue will also arrive quickly and safely at your place. Consequently, you will not have to worry about a way of transporting the object from the store to your home. This is a tremendous advantage, especially when it comes to large sculptures.
What should be taken into account when buying works of art?
If one should buy an original sculpture or a bronze statue that is part of a limited edition, there are some things one has to consider in addition. In any case, a certificate should be delivered with the bought object, which is a record of the particular edition, the edition number and the year in which the object was created. The signature of the artist can be found on the sculpture. In our Bronze Shop, you will find detailed photos of every figurine and sculpture as well as information about their authenticity, certificates and signatures.
Purchasing art is a matter of trust
This statement is true for both the analogue and the digital world, the latter of which nowadays offers the customer a remarkable selection of works from every branch of the visual arts. Reliable retailers have bronze sculptures and bronze figurines of every style and every artistic epoch in their range of products — from figurative works to surrealistic pieces and even to contemporary art. They supply detailed descriptions of the sculptures, provide information about their size and weight and one gets to know something about the manufacturing method as well as the artistic process. The artist is usually introduced extensively in a portrait and some providers also show short videos of the manufacturing process and about the artist.
Beauties made of bronze — sculptures and figurines
Bronze sculptures and figurines are carefully created works of art with their own expressions. The manufacturing process is quite elaborate: starting with an idea and its implementation as a model of which is then taken an impression, and culminating in the casting of the object, which can be done in several different ways. This kind of creative work is part of every sculpture and apart from the artistry, it is the underlying thoughts and ideas that contribute to the making of these works of art. One often likes to have a close look at the objects, inspecting them thoroughly, paying attention to the texture and its effects. One wants to twist and turn and touch them, and to observe the lights and shadows on their surfaces.
However, does the option of buying bronze sculptures for sale online not pose a stark contradiction to this? Does one resign from the possibility of sensually perceiving the sculpture? Or is it the other way around, as one is presented with a much wider range of goods and with reliable vendors who know how to put those works of art in the limelight? Maybe this way, one discovers new exhibits and hitherto unknown artists or motifs one did not think of beforehand.
Advantages of shopping online
First and foremost, it is the incredibly large assortment of goods that online vendors are offering nowadays. As is true for all segments, this also applies to the art market that offers bronze sculptures and paintings for sale. Besides the wide selection of works, it is the attention to all the little details that can be better shown online than by an on-site vendor.
One can be sure that at the online shop, the selection of exhibits has been chosen with a high level of expertise, that the objects have been carefully researched and additionally, all vendors offer the right to return the piece. You are offered editions and limited series and collectors can use this to find works of artists or sculptures that they have wanted to buy for a long time. All the important information about dispatch times and shipping conditions as well as possibilities of contacting us directly can be found on every single product page.
At Bronze Shop, you will also profit from many other advantages. All figurines and sculptures are sent free of shipping costs to your preferred delivery address. Therefore, you will only pay for the sculpture — there are no other hidden costs for you. In order to make sure that you will be able to get your bronze figurine or bronze sculpture as fast as possible, we guarantee that we will make your order ready for dispatch and send it to the shipping company within 48 hours. Shipping usually lasts 1-2 days, which means that you will already receive your sculpture 3-4 days after completing your order.
Sometimes it might occur that the purchased products are not to one's liking after all. In this case, we have a 14-day right of return policy. In order to make the transaction easier, you also have the possibility to buy all products at Bronze Shop on account. Consequently, you will only have to pay once you were able to take a closer look at the objects. Additionally, you have several other payment options, so just choose the one that best suits you. Ranging from purchases on account to immediate transfers, PayPal and credit cards to direct debiting or cash on delivery — we offer you the suitable method of payment for every situation.
By the way, if there is a bronze sculpture or figurine that particularly catches your eye, but you are not able to afford it at the moment, you can also fall back on our handy instalment payment options.

Manuel Pellegrini's Timid Tactics Doom Manchester City in Roberto Mancini StyleFebruary 18, 2014
If you did not know any better, watching Manchester City play scared and ineffective football in Champions League play against Barcelona at the Etihad en route to a 2-0 loss could make you think Roberto Mancini still manages City.
Manuel Pellegrini's teamsheet on Tuesday was a decidedly not subtle admission that he would be very happy to play Lionel Messi and his side to a draw and take a puncher's chance to Camp Nou on March 12—by which time star striker Sergio Aguero would presumably be back in the XI.
Pellegrini packed his midfield with five players and granted only Jesus Navas and David Silva (neither of whom can defend anyone anyway) leave to pick out stranded striker Alvaro Negredo at the tip of the dulled spear.
In fairness, it almost worked. Kind of.
Though Barcelona had most of the possession in the first half, City had by far the best chances including a goalmouth scramble in the 25th minute that very nearly gave the Sky Blues the first goal.
Taking a lead to the interval would have done City immeasurable good. Instead, City came out of the break still deadlocked and still too vulnerable to Barcelona's scything passing game and superior speed.
Hindsight is what it is, of course. But in my case it was not exactly hindsight.
My projected City XI was an attacking XI. Why?
Because City's 2013-14 squad is not built for Mancini's preferred catenaccio style. Which, incidentally, tended not to work at this highest level anyway.
Or did Pellegrini forget how Mancini's timid, mincing sides were pushed around in the group stage of last season's Champions League play, even when they did deploy two strikers?
City fans have seen this movie before and thus cannot possibly be all that surprised at how the hero died in the closing reels.
Pellegrini came to Manchester promising that things would be different with him than they were with Mancini. "I am sure (the supporters) will enjoy the way our team will play. We will play an attractive, offensive play," Pellegrini said last June, according to Sky Sports.
Tell me: Watching City possess the ball 32 percent of the time (!), were you entertained?
Pellegrini started Negredo alone with Silva, Navas and Aleksandar Kolarov lobbing crosses into Negredo as if City were David Moyes' Manchester United.
Maybe my suggestion that Pellegrini go with two strikers and an uptempo midfield (Nasri instead of Kolarov) would have given Barcelona too many gaps to exploit. Maybe Messi would have bagged a hat trick instead of just the one goal.
But the one goal Messi scored might as well have counted for two. Messi's penalty kick and the red card given to Martin Demichelis on the play put City permanently in panic stations.
Not surprisingly, Barcelona's final goal came against a gassed City side that had been down a man for half an hour, chasing the ball like it was a ghost.
No, in this space, it is my prerogative to say that City should have run with Barcelona and tried to press the advantage of the home pitch and the chance to draw blood first. City could have lost such a match 5-3.
They could well have won it 5-3, too.
Instead, Pellegrini and City ran away from Barcelona, with predictable consequences.
We are sure that was Pellegrini managing City and not Mancini, right?

text: Texans at Dolphins Florios take: After beating the Colts in Week One of the 2010 season, the Texans lost 10 of their next 15. Though they likely wont suffer a similar fate in 2011 after again taking down the Colts, winning at Miami against an improving offense wont be an easy feat. The Dolphins played the Pats tough on Monday night, and it wasnt until that 14-point swing fueled by a failed fourth-and-goal and a 99-yard touchdown pass that the game was decided. Florios pick: Dolphins 24, Texans 21. Rosenthals take: Cutting Benny Sapp was an odd solution to Miamis problems. Perhaps drinking more water during the week to avoid cramps would be a better approach. Miamis defensive line is very deep and can slow down Houstons rushing attack. I still like the Dolphins corners. The Dolphins didnt get their first home win until mid-November last year, but theyll get it out of the way early this time. Rosenthals pick: Dolphins 27, Texans 24.

Fun route, probably the best route on Pirates wall, Long John is quite good as well. Watch for the nice resting jug just before the crux on the left. You can throw an arm over it and get a nice rest for the crux crimpy bulge ahead. Make it past the crux and the difficulties ease up for the few feet left to the anchors. This route wouldn't be nearly as hard if the crux was lower on the route.
I also seem to remember Mark Thomas being the FA for this route.

|Great route. Missed that arm-dangler jug, DTP, but enough good shakeouts along the way to pull through the high crux. I hadn't been on it in a few years, and was amazed to find the bee hive (just to the left about 2/3 of the way up) as active as ever.

SIX police employees have been subjected to disciplinary procedures for misusing Facebook, new figures have revealed.
Three staff were probed for inappropriate comments including a manager who was given a final written warning while one was dismissed and the other was not upheld. Two employees were probed for comments that could bring the force into disrepute resulting in one resignation ahead of a disciplinary meeting and one final written warning.
There was also one case of a racist comment that led to a final written warning.
Sussex Police bosses defended the figures saying that six alleged offences in five years indicated their social media policy was "effective".
The new figures showed nationally that more than 800 officers and staff in five years were quizzed over Facebook misuse.
Serious breaches of forces' codes included posting pictures of officers posing with weapons, sending abusive messages to members of the public and in one case in Northampton, being pictured in a "compromising position" with another officer.
One in 11 national disciplinary cases ended in dismissal, resignation or retirement.
Chief Constable Giles York, a regular Twitter user, said he was "an enthusiastic advocate" of social media and the "exciting opportunities" it presented for police to interact with their communities.
He added: "We trust our officers to use discretion and common sense in their decision making, which must extend to social media.
"We have a permissive approach that encourages our people to use social media if it is relevant to their role and offer a simple 'traffic light system' to help them assess how they should do that.
"I don't want them to be fearful of new ways of interacting with the public."
Sussex Police was one of five forces unable to fully comply with the information request saying their systems did not let them easily check how many officers had been disciplined over Facebook use.
A police spokesman said the level of punishment for Facebook misuse is decided by the chair of a disciplinary hearing, normally an officer of superintendent rank or above.

[11 February 2014]
PopMatters Associate Music Editor
Woodsman's new self-titled record veers wildly away from the glitchier expansions of its predecessor, Rare Forms. That album fell somewhere between off-kilter freak-folk and primal space-rock. The shift away from that is highlighted by the fact that this album, unlike the last one, has virtually no vocals. Instead, we get hard-charging psychedelic rock landscapes. They romp and shuffle on the sturdy ever-shifting rhythm section here, which can go from the rise-and-fall tempo of "In the End, Remember When?" to the more sinister expanse of "Loose Leaf" to the propulsive energy of "All Tangled Up" and make the disparate tempos sync up somehow.
There's something uniform and satisfying about the sound of Woodsman, a controlled yet vital exploration of space and echo. The guitar and keyboard work here wanders and ripples over the bass and drums, though despite some solid work on "All Tangled Up" and working up some lacerating power on "Healthy Life", the textures and atmospheres feel almost too similar across tracks. The rhythm section here keep things interesting and moving forward, and Woodsman does indeed feel like the band finding their own identity, even if they may be identifying themselves a bit narrowly at times.

LAKELAND — Senior Eric Grajales (135) and freshman Tyler Liberatore (125), Brandon's only undefeated wrestlers, set the pace for the Eagles to take an early lead Friday with 40.5 points in the state championships. Manatee followed with 23 and Springstead 18.
Grajales and Liberatore scored first-round pins and recorded impressive victories in the second period. The Eagles placed 11 of their 12 state qualifiers into this morning's semifinals and scored 107.5 points to keep them in first place.
Joey Cozart (145) and Kyle Koziel (160) also scored early pins for the Eagles.
Brandon left the gym early to get a good night's rest.
"We need to face tomorrow morning like just another guy we have to wrestle," Grajales said. "We have been training for Saturday morning all year."
Robinson led Class A with 15 points after the first round. Chris Rollins (119), Zack Boyer (135), D.J. Woods (215) and Mike Benitez (285) scored big for the Knights with pins.
Boyer scored a technical fall in the second round to come within two more wins to capture an individual state title.
Jesuit's Austin Boudreau (112) and David Gonzalez (125) were the only Tigers in the winner's bracket, but likely will struggle to produce a top-20 team finish.
Kevin Norstrem (112) is the only one remaining in the winner's rounds for Tampa Bay Christian.
Riverview's Herman Hernandez (135) is overcoming a strong weight class. T.J. Davis (145) and Nick Hadick (285) of Durant and Kendall Ivy (189) of Alonso are also solid.
Perhaps the top two local wrestlers in Class 3A are Bloomingdale workout partners Carlos Montero (140) and Chris Figari (160). Montero eliminated Figari from the winner's bracket last year, then joined him when his family moved to the Bloomingdale area last summer.
"One match at a time," he said after his second-round victory. "My first match was pretty easy, but the second was tough against a guy I wrestled in my Miami region last year. He was very quick and should place in the top six."
Figari scored a pin in his second match.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Sydney, Australia, 2008/12/03 - In response to recent media speculation, Qantas Airways Limited confirms that it is exploring a potential merger with British Airways plc via a dual-listed company structure.
There is no guarantee that any transaction will be forthcoming and a further announcement will be made in due course, if appropriate.
Any transaction would also comply fully with Qantas' obligations under the Qantas Sale Act and Australia's international Air Services Agreements.
Dealing Disclosure Requirements:
The proposed combination is subject to the United Kingdom's City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the 'Code').
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of British Airways or of Qantas, all 'dealings' in any 'relevant securities' of those companies (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of British Airways or of Qantas, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of British Airways or Qantas by British Airways or Qantas, or by any of their respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in issue, can be found on the website of the UK's Panel on Takeovers and Mergers ('Panel') at thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.

I think this is an old slave contract signed in blood with the blue tax stamp on it. I am not sure of the age but the document has mention of Haiti. I couldn't find a date on it. The blue tax stamp says six on it and I think it is English.
Could anyone please help me out with some more information about this piece or where I can go to find out more information.
Thanks a bunch, all input is appreciated.

(With thanks to our shark-loving IT guru Mats for bringing this to my attention).
You can check out the video of the shark here at Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet's site - look for an article called "Förhistorisk haj hittad i Japan" (Prehistoric shark found in Japan).
I feel that that shark should never have been put in captivity, because it puts alot of pressure being transfered from your home to an unknown place. And besides the fact having "things" stare at me day in and day out, i'd want to die to! This is an example of what us humans are doing to the earth! If that shark chose to surface to the horrors up at the surface , just imagine what has been corupting it under the water!
I wish more people would stop believing their silly theory that all this stuff about global warming and everything is a myth, and look at the truth for once! I feel very strongly about this matter and I hope whoever is reading this does to.

Happy Days
The PEN American Center is paying tribute to Samuel Beckett, the novelist, poet and playwright, who is perhaps best known for the play ''Waiting for Godot.'' With the 50th anniversary of the first performance of that work approaching in January, Beckett's artistry and his influence on theater and literature will be explored in an evening of dramatic readings, critical assessments and photographs. ''Samuel Beckett: A 20th-Century Masters Tribute'' includes appearances by the playwrights Edward Albee and Israel Horovitz; the novelists Paul Auster and Peter Carey; the critics and writers Tom Bishop, Mel Gussow, Christopher Ricks and Richard Seaver; and the actors Maria Aitken, Katherine Borowitz, Bill Irwin and John Turturro. The event takes place at Town Hall tonight at 8. Information: (212) 334-1660, Extension 107.
Highs and Lows
It is not a coincidence that the 50th anniversary of Hank Williams's death in the back seat of a Cadillac on New Year's Eve in 1952 is only a few days after the opening of ''Hank Williams: Lost Highway,'' a staged musical biography. The work, by Randal Myler and Mark Harelik, will include 20 of Williams's original country tunes, like ''Your Cheatin' Heart,'' ''Jambalaya (On the Bayou)'' and ''Hey, Good Lookin'.'' Previews begin tonight at the Manhattan Ensemble Theater, 55 Mercer Street, at Broome Street, in SoHo, and the show runs through Jan. 19. Information: (212) 925-1900.
A Proud Patron
The Blue Four artists -- Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, Alexei Jawlensky and Wassily Kandinsky -- worked independently in Europe during the 1920's and were not bound to a single style of artistic purpose, except that Emilie Ester Scheyer, known as Galka, a German champion of art, was going to promote them in the United States and needed a catchy title to do so. The Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, Calif., presents ''My Four Kings: Galka Scheyer and the Blue Four,'' an exhibition that includes 300 of the artists' works from the Scheyer collection, as well as photographs and letters illuminating the relationship among them and Scheyer, on view Friday through April 14. Information: (626) 449-6840.
Chekhov in Song
By the 1970's Thomas Pasatieri, now a composer, conductor and film-score orchestrator based in Los Angeles, had written 17 operas before his 30th birthday. One that he says remains a ''favorite child'' is ''The Seagull,'' based on Anton Chekhov's play and composed on commission from the Houston Grand Opera, with a libretto by Kenward Elmslie. The opera, about young artists and lovers and their older counterparts in rural Russia, receives its New York premiere at the Manhattan School of Music, with Mark Harrison directing and David Gilbert conducting. Performances are at the John C. Borden Auditorium, 120 Claremont Avenue, Washington Heights, Wednesday and Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30.Continue reading the main story

Old South Ferry Station Set To Open Next Week For Staten Island Ferry Riders
The lesson here is never to give up on a good idea. The station is old and it only serves the first five cars, but, it beats having nothing until the new South Ferry Station reopens. Thanks to MTA interim President Thomas Pendergast and the Governor for hearing my call to help tens of thousands of Island commuters.
Staten Island Advance Article, March 28, 2013
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Get ready to move to the first five cars of the 1 Train, Staten Island.
The original South Ferry subway station -- used by tens of thousands of Staten Island Ferry commuters every day -- is on track to re-open to commuters next week, in line with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's announcement earlier this month, according to an MTA source.
The exact date when service will be restored has not yet been revealed.
Workers are in the final stages of preparing the old station for use once again, including the development of access points for passengers. The old station was taken out of service in 2009 when the $530 million new station was built. But that station was flooded, floor to ceiling, by Hurricane Sandy, and needs a complete rebuild, which will take an estimated 2-3 years.
The return to the old station means a return to one nagging feature: The need for South Ferry-bound riders to be in one of the train's first five cars if they wish to get off. That's because the station was built 108 years ago as a U-turn at the end of the city's very first subway line -- it can only accommodate half the cars on the train.
Riders will soon routinely be serenaded with conductor announcements warning of their need to be in place. Once again, befuddled tourists will be asking anyone who will listen: Am I in the right place? And for the first time in years, we'll routinely see some riders cruise through South Ferry on the way back to Rector Street, because they weren't clued into the unique protocol.
Some signs advising riders of the change have already been posted in some subway cars on the line.
The borough's elected officials and Allen P. Cappelli, Staten Island's representative to the MTA Board, had aggressively pressed the MTA to reopen the station, citing the needs of Staten Island commuters. At first the MTA balked, saying that it needed to focus its resources on massive repairs to the new station. But last month, MTA Interim Executive Director Tom Prendergast acknowledged that it was worth a closer look, with cost and timeframe being the key factors, and promised to move quickly.

PLAYING THE ENEMY Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation By John Carlin | Penguin Press. 274 pp. $24.95
Playing the Enemy is a classic sports-brings-the-community-together story. John Carlin, a senior writer for the Spanish-language newspaper El País, chronicles Nelson Mandela's 1995 effort to unite an apartheid-ravaged South Africa by having the country's national rugby team, the Springboks, host the sport's World Cup.
There is no need to milk the story for false sentiment: A climax with 62,000 fans, mostly white Afrikaners, rooting for an underdog, integrated home team doesn't need melodrama. Anyone who can read the words of former black militant Justice Bekebeke and not be moved has no soul: "An hour before the game I was still torn and confused," but then he saw "the old man, my president, wearing the Springbok jersey. . . I still could not quite shake off the old resentment and hatred, yet something was happening to me, and I realized that I was changing. . . And I said to myself, well, this is the new reality. There is no going back: the South African team is now my team, whoever they are, whatever their color."
Carlin has no illusions about the power of sport to eradicate centuries of racism, but he makes a good case that the tournament was, to paraphrase Churchill, the end of the beginning of a new South Africa. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu told Carlin, "The great thing about everything good that has happened is that it can happen again." And it did: The Springboks took the title a second time in 2007. I wonder if Morgan Freeman is available to play Mandela in the film version?A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF SPORTS IN THE UNITED STATES 250 Years of Politics, Protest, People, and Play By Dave Zirin | New Press. 302 pp. $26.95
At his best, Dave Zirin, also the author of Welcome to the Terrordome and a weekly online sports column, "The Edge of Sports," is the conscience lacking in the mainstream sports media. Other times, he can seem like a self-righteous scold. (A "People's History" indeed. Did "the people" commission him?)
What's missing from this book, Zirin's third, is a passion for sport itself, a sense of something that animated him to write about sports besides the social issues to be found in them. Another thing that's missing is a passion for accuracy. Marvin Miller, the first head of the Major League Baseball Players Association, was a chief economist with the Steelworkers, not an organizer; the 1994 baseball strike was hardly a "routing of the owners," but in fact was the first time the union made concessions; and baseball analysts have found more convincing reasons for the late-1990s homerun barrage than performance-enhancing drugs: among them, legitimate weight training, whip-handled bats and more hitter-friendly ballparks.
The real problem with A People's History, though, is that Zirin is preaching to the bleachers. What he's essentially done is rehash American sports injustices, from the search for "The Great White Hope" (when Jack Johnson was heavyweight champion) to baseball's color barrier (broken by Jackie Robinson in 1947) to the struggle of gay athletes in recent years. Those who, like me, agree with him don't really need to hear about these issues again, and those who don't agree aren't going to be persuaded by the book's strident tone.
A little humor might have helped. "Bigotry continues to be unchallenged," Zirin writes. "Hurricane Katrina destroyed a majority-black city, which continues to die from naked neglect. Women face a constant barrage of sexism in our 'girls gone wild' culture. And if you challenge it, then you must be a humorless prig." No, not necessarily. But you might be someone who tends to substitute radio talk-show rhetoric for genuine analysis.FANS OF THE WORLD UNITE! A (Capitalist) Manifesto For Sports Consumers By Stephen F. Ross and Stefan Szymanski | Stanford Univ. 221 pp. $27.95
Stephen F. Ross, a law professor at Penn State, and Stefan Szymanski, an economics professor in London, are the rarest of sports activists: They actually understand something about economics and law. Simply put, the plan they propose in Fans of the World Unite! is nothing less than a massive restructuring of American professional sports based on the idea that the current system of monopoly is unproductive: "The best model for consumer protection is generally the forces of competition in the market place."
Their thesis has two prongs: First, NASCAR should be the model for American sports: "leagues should be organized by a company independent of the participating clubs." Second, as with "European soccer, the right to participate in premier-tier competition should be based on demonstrated merit, not guaranteed." He is referring to a pyramid system used not just for European soccer but also for basketball, ice hockey and rugby. Simply put, if a tema doesn't perform well, it can be relegated to a lower tier while another team is moved up.
If this seems, well, a bit academic to you, Ross and Szymanski back it up with such illuminating chapters as "Competitive Balance" and "How A Restructured Sports League Would Work." The problem, of course, as Bob Costas observed of baseball owners, is that they "couldn't even agree on what to order for lunch." Fortunately, the authors have a blueprint, based on pressuring Congress, for dragging sports owners, kicking and screaming, into the new millennium. Fans have nothing to lose but home-city television blackouts and soaring ticket prices.SOCCER IN A FOOTBALL WORLD The Story of America's Forgotten Game By David Wangerin | Temple Univ. 350 pp. Paperback, $19.95
David Wangerin, a soccer writer and high school coach born in Chicago and raised in Wisconsin, is the intelligent, compassionate and committed spokesman that American soccer needs. Unfortunately for American soccer, he now lives in Scotland. Also, unfortunately for him, I am one of the "stream of commentators who rail against soccer as boring." Well, not boring exactly, but less interesting than baseball, football and basketball, which is why even enlightened and humane tomes like Soccer in a Football World make my eyes glaze over.
Perhaps if Wangerin stuck to his intention of simply telling the story of soccer in America with passion and eloquence, I would have been able to relate to it more. And he is capable of eloquence: "All I have set out to do is tell the story as I understand it, from what I have read and heard, as well as what I have witnessed first-hand, occasionally in packed stadiums but much more often on windswept fields and other modest arenas where the heart of American soccer kept beating -- faintly but persistently." But when he falls back on the familiar soccer lovers' mantra of blaming "many in the media [who] berate the game because they fear it," I close the book.
Like many others who are frustrated with Americans' resistance to professional soccer, Wangerin equates our apathy with fear of the game's foreignness. But Americans don't fear soccer; it's a game they want their kids to play while they themselves watch the Yankees and Red Sox or the Giants and Redskins on TV. (And maybe people in other countries would watch other sports if they had an option?) To paraphrase Chris Rock's famous routine on hockey, only soccer fans watch soccer. Still, I can't help but wish that Wangerin were coaching soccer at my daughter's high school. ·

For NFL fans, hockey represents the only major sport that covers much of the offseason that involves significant hitting. That's part of the draw of hockey as well as the NFL.
Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks capped an amazing season by scoring two goals in the final 1:30 of game six of the Stanley Cup finals to win 3-2. As Chicago's players passed around the storied trophy, I wondered. Is that the greatest trophy in all of sports?
With apologies to the NBA, the MLB and the soccer world, for my money, the NFL and NHL have the two best championship trophies.
On one hand, the NFL's trophy is a simplistic design, but each team gets to keep their trophies for all eternity. On the other hand, the Stanley Cup carries the name of every player that has ever been fortunate enough to win the NHL's championship.
Both trophies represent their league's history, but the Stanley Cup embodies that history in a very real way. Many football fans will be missing hockey over the coming months, especially in July and August. Congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks, the new owners of the holders of the greatest trophy in sports.

TV: Louie Season 4 For those of us who like sitcoms, the ground is a bit thin these days. It used to be the glory days of tv. But now cop and zombie shows rule the roost instead. So thankfully, Louie C.K. came along. He has been doing great work straight across the board, whether on tv, live in standup, in movies, comedy albums--you name it, he's done it in entertainment. This show, much like Seinfeld, uses the grist of his personal and professional life to showcase the comedy of being Louie C.K. a beset every man who happens to be a standup comic with two small girls to raise.
There is one big difference between Louie and Seinfeld and an even earlier inspiration, Woody Allen: Louie was raised Catholic, not Jewish, and, of course, is not much of one these days. So we get a very different slant on his own peculiar kind of moral and ethical code from these other comics.
Like all sitcom males, Louie is a disaster with women and he is a great disaster to watch on the dating or relationship scene.
Charles Grodin plays a doctor in this season and he is as funny as ever. It is so great to see him on a series show. When Grodin is onscreen, no one can touch him comedically, not even Louie. Ellen Burstyn also does a nice turn as an aged Hungarian woman in Louie's apartment building.
I can tell no quality difference between season 4 and the prior three seasons. They are all excellent. It took me about three episodes of season 1 to warm up to him but once I did, I was a hard core fan.
Netflix, Amazon and iTunes all carry Louie. However, Netflix only carries the first three seasons. You'll need Amazon or iTunes to pick up Season 4. You really would be best off seeing the series in order, starting off with season 1. I am a top reviewer at Amazon. You can see my reviews here.
Film: The Fortune Cookie (1966)
The Golden Triangle of Talent: Wilder, Lemmon and Matthau
Billy Wilder's film stars Jack Lemmon as a photographer who is injured slightly and temporarily at a Cleveland Browns football game. He has one weakness, his ex-wife, whom he would like to get back. Other than that, he is an honest and upright person. He sees his relative, Whiplash Willie (Walter Matthau who won the supporting Oscar for this). WW is an attorney. He seems like a terrible one at first but when he breaks into his arguments, he is rather convincing. He also will do anything to win the case.
WW plays on Lemmon's weakness by getting in touch with his ex. He tells her about all the money Lemmon could win in a lawsuit against the Browns for personal injury. The ex-wife comes back to town to do her part and WW is off and running with his lawsuit. Lemmon, meanwhile, more the straight man in this film, starts having serious second thoughts because the football player who hit him is taking it badly. But getting back the ex-wife seriously clouds his judgment. This is a great pairing of Matthau and Lemmon, who always shine under Wilder's direction. Far from feeling dated, you will finish this film thinking you haven't seen anything this fresh and original for ages...and you will be right!
Walter Matthau is at his absolute hilarious best in this film. He came close ever afterwards but this is his crowning role.
This film is available on dvd currently. I am a top reviewer at Amazon. You can see my reviews here.
Novel: The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta
Tom Perrotta is interested in the bizarre ways religions figure in American life. His last novel, The Abstinence Teacher, was a tour de force involving born again Christians. This time his aim is broader. He is after anyone who reads the Bible. A portion of the Bible contains the Rapture where people are taken (removed from earth) by God shortly before the End of the World. Perrotta turns this belief right on its head by having lots of people disappear, just as foretold, but it is all of the wrong people. The ones taken are just a random hodge podge of people with no saintly characteristics whatsoever.
This off kilter Rapture turns society into chaos for awhile and then as life moves on for the ones left over (or left behind), there are enduring and often hilarious changes in the surviving culture. For example, one minister has a nervous breakdown because he can't handle the fact that he wasn't among those taken. Ultimately, he spends his days investigating scandals involving those who were taken and then publishing those scandals in his mini tabloid which he hawks from street corners.
A new sect pops up called the Guilty Remnant. They don't believe in trying to pick up and continue life as before the unRapture. They believe that the end is nigh and everyone should fatalistically accept that fact, abolish all hope and drive and just wait for the final axe to fall as surely it will any day. The practices of this sect took an incredible amount of wicked wit on Perrotta's part. For one, members of this sect are required to always be smoking a cigarette, even if they hate cigarettes. For another, they don't speak except that electronic communication is ok. You can IM and email but you can't speak in non virtual life. They travel in pairs, like nuns, and shadow the left overs so that they can spoil their attempts to keep on living. Romances in particular propel them into action as hope and joy are taboo.
I could go on and on but I don't want to ruin this for anyone. If any of the above intrigues you, just read it!
This novel is available everywhere in all formats. It airs as a miniseries on HBO starting June 29, 2014. I am a top reviewer at Amazon. You can see my reviews here.
I got this album because Jack White became one of the Raconteurs. I expected to only like Jack White. Much to my surprise, I really like the Raconteurs and especially this album. Although Jack's Carolina Drama end tune on this album became my top favorite almost immediately, I soon found that I also was listening to Brendan's Fade to Black quite often. This song made it onto the NPR listeners' top 25 songs for 2008. Then I found that I really like the first track, then the third track, especially with the piano opening and close and so on. Now I listen to all of them and so I am hooked.
This album is available for immediate download at Amazon and iTunes. I am a top reviewer at Amazon. You can see my reviews here.

Members of the Officers' Mess at MoD Corsham commemorated The Battle of Britain on Thursday.
A Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight based at RAF Coningsby started the evening's events and made the most of clear blue skies with a superb display, which was followed by a sunset parade by 1304 (Chippenham) Squadron Air Training Corps.
The parade was then followed by a formal dinner with Air Vice Marshal Greg Bagwell, director of joint warfare at Joint Forces Command, as the senior guest and speaker.
As is tradition during the dinner, stories and personal accounts from the battle were read and Air Vice Marshal Bagwell gave a speech highlighting the significance of the battle in shaping the events of the Second World War.

Migration internationale et conditions d'habitat des ménages à Dakar
In Senegal, the real estate sector drains the majority of investments made by Senegalese expatriates. Migrant remittances could thus play a positive role in improving the housing conditions of households in Dakar. This paper aims to test this hypothesis via a series of analyses conducted on data in Dakar for the MAFE Senegal survey. Not surprisingly, the first results show that at the time of the survey, the housing conditions of households with migrant(s) were generally better than those without (type of dwelling, persons per room, consumer durables, etc.). But subsequent findings qualify the impact of international migration on the living conditions of Dakarian households. First, the remittances sent by migrants are rarely used to build or renovate a dwelling. Second, analysis of home ownership at the time of entry into the dwelling and not at the time of the survey shows that migrants have no influence on home purchases. Last, emigrant investments in real estate rarely serve to improve the housing conditions of the households to which they belong. They can nonetheless contribute to urban renewal in Dakar, notably via investments in the rental market.

PHP File gets Downloaded instead of Showing the configuration
well i have everything installed on my LAMP .. the apache2.4.2 is running and php5 too is installed ....
But the problem is that when i am running my http://localhost/test.php the browser shows me the code written in the test.php as : <?php phpinfo(); ?>...
I have AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in my httpd.conf file also but this does not seem to work !!
What could be the problem and related solution.
Thanks in advance !!
did u restart ur apache after installing php?? seems php has not been detected by the webserver. kindly give more details so that it ll be easy to understand the issue. for instance how did u install LAMP? is it from repo or binaries like bitnami??
@pabhampm : yes i restarted Apache after installing php but the file is not giving me the configuration details : instead it is showing me the file contents .... I installed all LAMP contents by basically downloading and unzipping the contents of .tar.gz packages !!
Which OS are you using? What packages did you install for PHP?
It looks like you haven't loaded the libphp5.so module in your apache web server, but anyhow please provide us with more details such as, what linux distro you're running, why not installing LAMP through distro's package manager (if any) etc...
anyhow this is Arch Linux specific ( => https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP#PHP ), but should point you how to load the php module in apache. do not forget to reload the webserver for the change to take effect.
Which distro are you using? tar.gz packages are usually source packages. It sounds like your Apache is running on a Linux, which is a good start, but it's obviously not configured right for php. Are you going to be running php as a module or as a CGI interpreter?
i am using Linux Mint 13 "Maya" - Cinnamon (32-bit) and i used the php available here : http://www.php.net/get/php-5.4.4.tar.gz/from/a/mirror ....and basically i am a newbie and i am trying my hands on LAMP and main motive is to run basic php programs though this ....
yes i did refer to it but as i mentioned i am already done with every part of the installation the only thing that's creating the problem is : " The php file shows me the content " i.e it is not getting Parsed i guess .
it was this link : http://in3.php.net/get/php-5.4.4.tar...php.net/mirror
Right... and presuming you compiled it correctly, running `php -v` at a prompt should show you some version information.
If not, then it's probably not actually installed.
Beyond that, it could be that Apache or php was compiled with the wrong MTM -- or most likely that Apache is just configured wrong. Try adding "LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so" to your httpd.conf file. The path might be wrong, but it's a start. Also check your logs for errors.
running php -v gives : PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.1 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: May 4 2012 02:21:57)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
That means its installed ...right ??
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so is also present in httpd.conf
Okay. The php 5.4.4 file you downloaded isn't the one you're using. You're running the Ubuntu version which seems to be 5.3.10 -- try this link:
yeah out of this frustration i used sudo apt-get install php5 which in turn installed PHP 5.3.10 ..... but hey now the error changed and its showing me 404 for my test.php ...

George Strait's Son Sticks to Songwriting
George Strait's son Bubba may be a chip off the old block when it comes to songwriting, (he co-wrote the recent hit, 'Living for the Night,' with his father and Dean Dillon), but he says he'll probably leave the performing to his mega-star dad.
Bubba (whose real name is George Strait Jr,) collaborated on several songs for his dad's new album 'Twang,' but tells Cowboys and Indians magazine he doesn't see himself recording his own songs anytime soon. "Not unless I learn to sing. I got my mom's singing voice!' But that's OK, I don't know if I could sing in front of a lot of people anyway."
Bubba says he enjoys writing songs with his dad, but sometimes it's hard to keep the elder George's attention on the music. "We like all the same stuff, so we seem to agree on music," says 28-year-old Bubba. "I'm writing a lot more than him, though, because sometimes he'd rather go play golf. But you can't blame him. Besides, he needs the practice!"
Bubba definitely doesn't take his amazing writing partners for granted, though. "It was great writing with my dad and Dean. Dean's a songwriting genius! It would be any songwriter's dream to write with one of them, much less both. I haven't been writing long, either, so I consider myself lucky to have that chance."
'Living for the Night' is the first single from George's latest album, 'Twang.'

Brian Kirk is in talks to direct Thor 2 for Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios.
Kirk, best known for directing episodes of Game of Thrones Dexter, Luther and Boardwalk Empire, will take over from Kenneth Branagh, who declined the chance to return to the directors chair for the sequel.
Thor 2 is set for release on July 26, 2013, so will presumably enter production early next year.
Thor, which was released to approbation earlier this year, has so far grossed an estimated $448M at the worldwide box office.

Lambeau Leaps apparently are not as easy as they look.
Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn proved just that after his 1-yard touchdown run gave Green Bay a 17-13 lead over the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Kuhn's run was something to applaud, but unfortunately, his jump into the stands was not.
The fullback appeared to slip right as he was preparing to launch himself into some welcoming fans, leaving Kuhn much closer to the ground than he would have liked. Kuhn's stumble left a lot to be desired, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
Check out the Lambeau almost-Leap in the GIF below, with a fist bump to SB Nation.

Miley Cyrus vs. Julia Roberts vs. Emma Watson – Who Wore It Best?
Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson both channeled Julia Roberts in the classic rom-com 'Pretty Woman' with their keyring, midriff-baring dresses.
Cyrus was seen sporting the design in Miami in July 2013, while Watson can be seen in the same kind of dress in her May 2013 issue of British GQ. Of course, Roberts wore the dress first, portraying a prostitute turned posh in the 1990 flick 'Pretty Woman.'
This revealing, figure-hugging dress has become synonymous with Roberts' famous role as Vivian Ward, but which of these ladies do you think wore it best? Did Miley do it right in Miami, is Julia's classic look still your fave, or do you love Emma Watson's 'Bling Ring' look in GQ?
We'll start with Miley, who snapped a sexy selfie while partying it up in Miami. She was dressed for the hot Florida weather in her ab-flattering keyring dress, which also showed off her amazing legs. Cyrus also chose a red top with a black skirt as the color combo for her 'Pretty Woman'-esque number.
Then there's Julia Roberts, who made this hooker chic look totally famous as Richard Gere's love interest back in '90s. The dress she wore in 'Pretty Woman' had a white top with a blue, tie-dyed bottom. She paired it with patent leather, thigh-high boots to polish of her street-walker style.
Finally, Watson slipped on this hip-hugging dress for her 2013 GQ cover in Britain. Taking a cue from the wardrobe of her 'Bling Ring' character, Nicki, Watson sported the dress in a combo of yellow and navy blue, looking sexier than ever showing off some cleavage, her toned tummy, and great gams. Hermione, is that really you?!?!
Vote Miley, Julia or Emma for who wore it best below!

Once again, last weekend, the Redball Military Transport Fall Military Vehicle Rally and Show brought history back to life at the West End Fairgrounds in Gilbert.
Whether for a youngster curious to see some of the vehicles that Grandpa may have told them about from his service days, or a veteran searching for memories, the rally did not disappoint.
A wide variety of military vehicles filled a large section of the parking area outside of the fairgrounds while inside there was just about every spare part for them that one could ever need.
Vendors had a vast variety of everything military such as : helmets, uniforms, radios, vehicle parts, nuts, bolts, lights, manuals, etc.
According to Gilbert Rally Director Jim Gilmore "in spite of the rain on Friday, we had a real good turnout and we had over 300 swap meet spots filled along with between 70 to 80 vehicles ranging from WWII to present day."
When not working on or displaying their vehicles, the members of Redball Military Transport Club participate in parades, reenactments and civic and Veterans events.
In addition to their annual September rally, they also host a Winter Swap Meet every February at Memorial Hall on West 10th street in Jim Thorpe.

Agromatic Inc has been marketing Silage Packers for several years. The new Big Foot model has some significant improvements. Dean Birschbach, President of Agromatic, Inc explains, "Our experience has led us to make enhancements including: more PSI per wheel, a lower center of gravity for a better line of sight, bearings that can be replaced without removing wheels, and our Deep-Pac smooth transition wheels have no lips to lift forage." The new Big Foot also features an automatic lubricating system and integrated stand which allows level hitching. All models are standard quick-hitch compatible. Category 3, 3N, 4, 4N configurations are available.
The Big Foot Forage Packer is manufactured in the USA at Agromatic's headquarters in Fond du Lac, WI. There are five sizes available ranging from 5 to 11 rollers with weights ranging from 3,855# to 14,640#. Prices range from $7,400 to $14,700.
