UPDATE as of 22/01/18 - Finally with a uncommon day off of work, I can update this story. The Vatican HAS spoken on this matter. This article in the National Catholic Register (affiliated with EWTN), a credible source, reports on the matter. Turns out that Ms. Ploumen got the award as part of a delegation with her country of the Netherlands, and it was a matter of political protocol between visitation of one entourage of state with another.
Personally, this was a political and institutional screw-up on the part of the Vatican STATE and likely, that of the Secretary of State in the Vatican. In addition, I cannot speak in the defense of Pope Francis' (possibly?) calumnious allegations in his recent jaunt in Chile, in defense of a South American Bishop buddy of his, which could be true if he has internal knowledge from witnesses/investigations, but is indefensible both as a head of state and as Vicar of Christ of the Catholic Church. Let me state that such statements in Chile had NOTHING to do with the defense or teaching of Faith or Morals as the Church`s earthly head, but rather a gross injustice of a grotesquely immoral action, and the failing of the Institutional Church at large (e.g. clergy, buildings/institution, heretics, liberal liars.) The beliefs and truths of the Church are still exactly those, regardless of what sinners do ministry and are ordained, and there are still thousands of decent Catholics around the world, living within it and adhering to the faith, despite the failings of its human, yet apostolic leader, who was born into this world in sinful flesh, with a will marred by concupiscence (inclination to be tempted to sin,) just like you and I.
Back to the awarding to Ms. Ploumen, this act does NOT have any direct trace to Pope Francis, who doesn't care for pomp and circumstance. I stand by what I wrote on how RMT tabloid junkets smearing gossip of the Devil, such as 1 Peter 5 with Skojec and The Lepanto Institute under Hitchborn, commit grievous sin against the Church, the Magisterium, the Pope, and the Body of Christ, poisoning the minds and souls like my brother Knight, who without people like myself or knowledgable priests, have little to no defense against such filth disguised as "fighting for the faith." I have proven as such with a "Traditional Encyclical", Mystici Corporis Christi, though that has even not convinced some radical traditionalists to see the Satanic evil committed by RMT bodies and websites.
Radicals Misrepresenting Traditionalists and Their Infection Within the Body Of Christ: 1 Peter 5 and My Brother in ChristHello everyone,
Happy new year to all my viewers and any curious onlookers.
For those who have actually viewed my site in past, you may have dismissed my warnings and my cautions against the infiltration of Radical Traditionalism and in the life of the Latin Mass in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as ordinary life of the Body of Christ, that is every single baptized Catholic under the church. Other prelates, or priests, who have given some attention to this increasingly warring factions in the church, have warned people to stay away from this faction such as reigning Canadian prelate, ++Marc Oullett, in his recent speech on Amoris Laetitia to my Conference of Canadian Catholic Bishops' Plenary meeting.
However prelates today simply do not understand the power this faction yields, particularly against those who are more deeply invested in their faith including at the parish level. They are not the type to present their works to their bishops for Nihil Obstat and Impriaturs for their works, and contain deep mistrust and antipathy towards the hierarchy of the Church, including its Magisterium. Further, prelates do NOT understand that this NOT something contained to those with possible mental/spiritual deficiencies, or even the Latin Mass. Even worse, such "fake news" or "literature" (to use the term loosely,) does tend to travel in said circles, and should NOT become a staple of media for such participants, especially the youth!. If you do NOT believe me, please reread my reflection on 10 Years of Summorum Pontificum, to see the effect it has had on one particular, "yute" under "deeper, darker concerns..." .
Examples of websites from this faction I mentioned, are: LifeSiteNews with its totally anti-Francis and anti-modern Church bias (of whom it views today's Pontificate and the modern "Church" as anti-family and life due to corrupt clergy and laity), Rorate Caeli which the very moment Francis was elected called him, "The Horror," and new to the gang in the last few years, a site I will be looking at in this post, is 1 Peter 5 (1P5), helmed or with heavy contributions from the ever increasingly, cycnical layman named Steve Skojec, whose works have been rapidly deteriorating into hatred for the Church and the Magisterium. Sadly, 1P5's motto is "Rebuilding Catholic Culture. Restoring Catholic Tradition."
Being a Catholic apologist (that is, a defender of the Catholic Church,) one loyal to Christ's church, and Him as Holy King, including His Magisterium and the Pope, I must post upon something that has happened to me today to illustrate just how powerful the radical traditionalist faction is growing, and now in infiltrating the normal life of those of the body of Christ in the every day parish life, sadly to their own understandable ignorance, yet attacking them whom have no meaningful defense.
What's going on here?
This morning, I received a message on Facebook(TM) from my fellow brother Knight, in my local Knight's Council, with an article from a website called 1 Peter 5 (I will not link to such Radical Misrepresenting Traditionalist (herein, RMT) garbage.). The article in question, from 1P5, is titled, "Pope Francis Awards Architect of Safe-Abortion Fund with Pontifical Honour." Below is a screenshot of the Facebook message, with his image and name edited out to protect his identity:
Being a pro-life advocate, and a good Catholic family man and my brother Knight, I can see why he would send something out to his friends, as it would be confusing for him. My wife informed me that he is such, so it now makes sense why this would end up in my Facebook Messenger today.
The summary of the article is (besides the usual hatred and venom laced notes,) is that, supposedly, Pope Francis, who is a ``spiritual head`` of sorts, of the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great which has been around since 1831, has given a prestigious award and entry into said order of the title of ``Commander,`` to Lilianne Ploumen, former Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation in the Netherlands. If one dares read the article, she has a laundry list of grievous offences against the dignity of life against her, meticulously compiled by Hitchborn in the 1P5 article. The article itself even questions just what Lilianne is receiving this award for, as it is supposed to be given for service to the Catholic Church.
The Dubious Article
Taking apart the article, first, I look at the author, Michael Hichborn, who heads the theo-politically "conservative" racket online called "The Lepanto Institute." When one does a general, cursory examination of Lepanto, one can see that the tone of the authors, the articles presented, and their stance towards the current pontificate and Church IS exactly the same as Skojec and 1P5, though Lepanto does cover areas politically/culturally that tie into the Church, though are not specific to it. Seeing who the author is and their sites' works, already, we have a bias present in the article: RMT type! The article originated from the Lepanto site, written by Michael. "Birds of a feather flock together they say."
Further, is there ANY supporting evidence, such as other videos on YouTube from legitimate or alternative sources, such as the official Vatican News sites like vaticannews.va or the Vatican's website with an announcement of the awarding? NONE. The only video being circulated is the ones on the sites such as 1P5 are reporting such news, as well as the article/reporting of the "incident." While there is no general website for the Pontifical order, none of the main Catholic news sites are reporting any of this. Hence, there must be doubt as to the legitimacy of the claim. Could the mainstream Catholic sites and the Vatican be so biased as to "media scrub" something like this under the radar? Possibly, but with no alternative evidence from them, one cannot attach legitimacy to this media hit piece to give it validity that said event is/has happened, nor to the claims of the article that Pope Francis is directly responsible.
Moreso, why would Pope Francis, just simply abuse a Papal award and give it to a known abortion and anti-culture/life advocate intentionally? He is NOT stupid. If anything, an argument can be made that if we were to stoop to the lowest level, believe in the very facts that enemies of the Holy Father are touting in their "literature" (loosely used) that: leading up to his Papacy he was a politician of sorts back in Argentina, formed in some sort of Machiavellian philosophy (e.g. upcoming "The Dictator Pope" and another e-novel by some pseudonamed author ...) then it backfires in their faces and actually PROVES Jorge Maria Bergoglio, as the Pope, is clearly a SMART man, who would know of online spies or enemies, and wouldn't be so bold with the Internet watching as to stupidly make a bold statement in giving a Papal award to a known anti-life and anti-family advocate. It would be a disaster from a PR standpoint, and only increase division and doubt in the church, including in his followers, the lay Faithful. This would also backfire in his enemies faces because this is NOT his supposed usual tactic of subtle undermining of the Church via pastoral practice/his underlings. Why would he be so bold, NOW? It makes absolutely no sense at all to the average person with some intelligence and is Catholic.
The only, likely way he would do so, is if he had been misinformed by his subordinates, who would likely have delivered the award to Ms. Ploumen. Being a busy head of the Church/Vatican with little time to himself to do research, not to mention sit down and spend hours cruising blogs and other sites in between Papal Visits, conferences, and we must give the Holy Father the benefit of the doubt, that if he DID award this medal, he was highly misinformed of this woman.
Posting that article, ironically, is violating the Teachings of a Prior Pope LOVED by RMTs, Pope Pius XII
In posting bile like this online, which is meant with purpose to divide those in the Church against the Holy Father and the Magisterium, authors like Hitchborn, and purveyors of their works of similar mindset like Skojec and 1P5, are attacking the Communal AND Mystical Body of Christ in this way, via the Holy Father, and the dissemination of this information to souls like my brother Knight via the Internet. To explain this, I`ll go Traditionalist for a moment and use a ``Trad`` encyclical of a Papal favourite to the Anti-Vatican II RMTs, Pope Pius XII.
Pius XII is a favourite to RMTs, as well as sedevacantists, who believe the Papal seat is vacant, usually stating this Pope was the last 'legitimate one' because all those involved with Vatican II such as Leo XXIII to Francis I today are "modernist Popes." In 1943, Piux XII penned an encyclical called Mystici Corporis Christi, "The Mystical Body of Christ."
To begin, Pius XII speaks once again, as many Popes, Saints, and Church Fathers have many a times, about the Pope's Primacy, and how Christ purposely gave us a visible head of the Church in the Holy Father, to govern the Church and yes, men, for we would absolutely need it as finite creatures:
" 40. But we must not think that He rules only in a hidden [59] or extraordinary manner. On the contrary, our Redeemer also governs His Mystical Body in a visible and normal way through His Vicar on earth. You know, Venerable Brethren, that after He had ruled the "little flock" [60] Himself during His mortal pilgrimage, Christ our Lord, when about to leave this world and return to the Father, entrusted to the Chief of the Apostles the visible government of the entire community He had founded. Since He was all wise He could not leave the body of the Church He had founded as a human society without a visible head. Nor against this may one argue that the primacy of jurisdiction established in the Church gives such a Mystical Body two heads. For Peter in view of his primacy is only Christ's Vicar; so that there is only one chief Head of this Body, namely Christ, who never ceases Himself to guide the Church invisibly, though at the same time He rules it visibly, through him who is His representative on earth. After His glorious Ascension into Heaven this Church rested not on Him alone, but on Peter, too, its visible foundation stone. That Christ and His Vicar constitute one only Head is the solemn teaching of Our predecessor of immortal memory Boniface VIII in the Apostolic Letter Unam Sanctam; [61] and his successors have never ceased to repeat the same. (Mystici Corporis Christi (MCC), 40.)
Pius XII, then also, gives this stinging, yet prominent note about giving lip service to Christ while intently denying fealty to His Holiness, living life in the Church on earth in paragraph 41:
"41. They, therefore, walk in the path of dangerous error who believe that they can accept Christ as the Head of the Church, while not adhering loyally to His Vicar on earth. They have taken away the visible head, broken the visible bonds of unity and left the Mystical Body of the Redeemer so obscured and so maimed, that those who are seeking the haven of eternal salvation can neither see it nor find it. (MCC, 41)
That very quote, should be part of every Catholic Traditionalist's prayers every day, repeated multiple times a day. Now, just what does the above have to do with those as part of the Mystical and/or Communal body of Christ? Christ himself, is directly connected to His Body, the communal/Mystical Body of Christ in the Catholic Church. In fact, he PURPOSELY is intimately tied to it, and he WANTS and DESIRES perfectly to have His Body be a part of His Life and works. Most of all, he NEEDS it to cooperate with Him to achieve said goals. In paragraph 44, Pius XII pens this about the relation of Christ as Head of Church, needing his Body:
``44. Because Christ the Head holds such an eminent position, one must not think that he does not require the help of the Body. What Paul said of the human organism is to be applied likewise to the Mystical Body: "The head cannot say to the feet: I have no need of you."[69] ... every advance of this Mystical Body towards its perfection derives from Christ the Head.[71] Yet this, also, must be held, marvelous though it may seem: Christ has need of His members. First, because the person of Jesus Christ is represented by the Supreme Pontiff, who in turn must call on others to share much of his solicitude lest he be overwhelmed by the burden of his pastoral office, and must be helped daily by the prayers of the Church. Moreover as our Savior does not rule the Church directly in a visible manner, He wills to be helped by the members of His Body in carrying out the work of redemption... He has so willed it for the greater glory of His spotless Spouse...`` (MCC, 44)
Hence, without the works of those members of the Mystical and/or Communal body of Christ, His will cannot be done, and the salvation of souls is abruptly halted. When people like Hitchborn and associated blogging outlets, leave this trash floating in the river of cyberspace, what are they doing?
They are:
1) Attacking the Holy Magisterium of the Church in a public forum, whereby they set themselves up as an alternative magisterium to discern who is right and true in the Church and who is wrong, similar to separated Christian brethen who have their own "Churches" made of individual councils in churches or "Synods."
2) By doing what is said in No. 1, anyone who is looking in from outside the Church, will be appalled that Catholics from within (or those defending Catholic teachings) are "smearing their own Faithful," which they will now consider as they reflect and see the same disgusting behaviour that is possibly being carried out in their own dysfunctional "churches." Talk about being "ecumenical." Does it occur to them that perhaps the Marks of APOSTOLIC authority with the Pope as the supreme Spiritual Vicar on Earth, is a big drawing point for them to consider maybe converting to the Faith? (as a related side note, that is part of why my council's current Grand Knight, a convert, became a Catholic. He saw that within the Church, unlike the opposite in his own prior church, of how individuals or 'councils' of humans, determine approach to moral situations and beliefs.)
3) Furthermore, this directly violates paragraph 40 in MCC, when the attack is directly pointing the finger at the Holy Father or implicating him because it is his "Papacy," when the supposedly evil or doctrine-violating work is directly being done at the hand of a lesser prelate or others who are abusing Francis' name and the Church's name to commit said evils.
4) Even more wicked, by placing these articles in a public forum, to be picked up by said people, this attacks and erodes their Faith, by sowing initial seeds of doubt which will be further cemented with repeated attempts, and then said corrupted lay member or priest then consumes this media, not trusting the messages of (their parish or other) priests, bishops, and the Holy Father, leading to further abandonment of Christ and His Church from within, all the while NOT defecting to another "denomination" or out of the Church altogether. In doing so, Hitchborn et al. also violate paragraph 44 in MCC, because in corrupting that of Christ's faithful in the Church, they thus cut off the Body of Christ from it's head.
Christ, so willingly dependent on His Mystical and/or Communal body of Christ to carry His work, as in MCC 44, is unable to do so because His body is incapacitated from dissent. Cells, such as individual lay members and clergy, poisoned or mutated into dissenting cancerous cells. The only result of a cancerous body not starved of its cells ... is death. The "death" of the Body of Christ and His Bride, the Church.
A concluding end-note, a Biblical Note on False Teachers.
Should we be surprised that such drivel is being spewed online where anyone with Internet access can attach to such spiritual poison? No. As long as Christ's One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church exists, there will be false prophets, and we all should be aware. Christ Himself, tried to warn us, as well as his Holy Servant, St Paul in his OTHER letter to the first Pope, St. Peter himself, the one 1P5 ignores, 2nd Peter 2 (NRSV CE, 1-3): `
`But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who brought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.``
However, in what I have emphasized in bold and underlined, the destructive power they bring into the sheepfold, has also been acknowledged in Sacred Scripture and how they will do it: It will destroy the love of those for Christ and His Truth from reaching their hearts, and it is done with false words that repel the truth from them. Now, while we cannot control the actions of subordinates under the Holy Father, we nonetheless must be wary of those wielding such lies and power to deter people from expressing that Cardinal Virtue of Faith in Holy Mother Church.
Reading the passage above, this is exactly what these people and their blog sites do: Sow Satan`s division to entice the lay faithful to rebel against the Church and the Holy Father, no different from Satan`s rebellion over God, because they think their false ``truth`` is better than God`s TRUTH expressed through Jesus Christ, his Vicar Pope Francis, and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
With Scripture and MCC via Pius XII, this is exactly WHY we should NOT simply ignore these minority of bloggers, sites, etc. as lost causes to be ignored. Because the very acts they perform, reaches SUCH a broad audience in the Church today, an audience who is either NOT going to Mass, or even worse, an audience who is actually STILL committed to Christ but seeking more spiritual nourishment in our daily lives.
Of those people are the youth, the next generation of Christ`s workers in the vineyard, and of absolute necessity: our future priests who can perform the sacraments, our future religious sisters who aid the Bride of Christ and are joined to her, and our future laymen, who if they trust in the Church still, will marry and have families who will provide the next generation of vocations in the Church.
Further, of those people who are STILL in the Church, are good men like my brother Knight, striving through his daily work and in his marriage to remain faithful to Christ and to his family. Thankfully, I did reply immediately to his text and told him about the situation of the article and 1P5. I told him to consult me about future articles such as that of 1P5, as I am aware of a number of the major players spewing this fake news, and I know firsthand from my online and personal experience, encountering Radical Traditionalism in the Latin Mass environment, what form such spiritual poison comes in.
However, what about others like him, who have no trusted friend or family or spiritual superior to rely upon, or is not aware of apologetics sites, or is perhaps older and not technologically savvy? What defense does a layman or woman like him (or even, our pastors as priests) have to know to counter against such anti-Catholic propoganda that can sever their link to the Magisterium and the Head of the Church in the Pope?
It is for this reason, that we MUST not take lightly, articles like this, that have no legitimate journalistic credibility or supporting evidence from other legitimate sources, as viable and dangerous threats to the faithful in the Body of Christ. We must stand united together in protecting those spiritually vulnerable, or just trying to make their pilgrim journey home to Christ in Heaven, remaining on that treacherous, yet rewarding narrow path. Christ depends on His Earthly Body in us, the Mystical and/or Communal Body of Christ, to defend itself from such foreign invaders, and to expel them as its immune system. In Nomine Christi, Defende!
Pax Tibi Christi, Julian Barkin.

119. When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's lives will be improved if the results are successful?
Argument 190.The following is a letter to the editor of the Glenville Gazette, a local newspaper.
"Over the past few years, the number of people who have purchased advance tickets for the Glenville Summer Concert series has declined, indicating lack of community support. Although the weather has been unpredictable in the past few years, this cannot be the reason for the decline in advance ticket purchases, because many people attended the concerts even in bad weather. Clearly, then, the reason for the decline is the choice of music, so the organizers of the concert should feature more modern music in the future and should be sure to include music composed by Richerts, whose recordings Glenville residents purchase more often than any other contemporary recordings. This strategy will undoubtedly increase advance ticket purchases and will increase attendance at the concerts."

"Disconnected Realities": Viridian Affiliate Artists
10001 New York City
"Disconnected Realities"
Viridian Affiliate Artists
January 15th to February 2, 2013
Opening reception Thursday January 17th, 6-8PM
William Atkins, Joshua Greenberg, Renee Kahn, Elvira Lantenhammer,
Jeffrey Melzack, Vernita N'Cognita, Lauren Purje, Michael Rippl, Sheila Smith,
Katherine Ellinger Smith, Meredeth Turshen
Chelsea, NYC: Viridian Artists is pleased to present "Disconnected Realities" an exhibition of outstanding art by ten artists who are part of the Affiliate program at the gallery. The exhibit will continue from January 15 to February 2, 2013, at 548 West 28th Street, also accessible from 547 W 27th Street on the 6th floor. There will be an opening reception Thursday January 17, 6-8PM. The Viridian Artists Affiliate program is a special gallery program that is an important aspect of Viridian's mission to expand exhibition opportunities for outstanding contemporary artists. All art could be said to be the expression of an inner reality or a re-interpretation that each artist presents as their reality. In this exhibition, however, each artist has created a new reality, inspired or not by another, but disconnected and personal to their own view of life today, tomorrow and yesterday.
William Atkins' "Iguanodon Portraits" are a series of portraits based upon the aesthetics of 19th century photography. They were photographed with an antique camera akin to the cameras used during the Victorian era, using an 8x10 inch negative that is contact printed onto the paper. In this series, the photographer is inspired by Hiroshi Sugimoto's belief that photography functions as a fossilization of time and the fact that the first recognized dinosaur fossils were found during the Victorian age. Atkins intention is to lead the viewer to believe these portraits, like the early dinosaur models, are correct. Upon closer inspection, however, the viewer finds that all is not as it seems, anachronisms and inaccuracies flourish in varying degrees. Atkins wants us to think about what has changed; who the characters portrayed are and ask what kind of world he or she comes from.
In this series, Joshua Greenberg explores the expression of visual ideas through grouping related images in bold and soft colors highlighting shapes and curves with a lack of distinct color forms. He, instead interlaces the colors to provide a sense of movement which is also supported by the curves and the changing quality of light. The lines and variable textures provide a framework for the abstractions, foreshadowing the direction of movement. "The threes provide representation in a sea of abstraction and along with the lines, serve as a platform from which to explore smaller sections of the abstract image".
Renee Kahn's conceptual approach to the figure has been molded by memories, emotions and reactions to body language. In her paintings, she expresses emotions through body language, design and color. Her themes are family, religion, relationships, motherhood, and life's passages. The goal in her paintings is to create maximum intensity using the least amount of means.
In her "site plans", Elvira Lantenhammer reprocesses excerpts of maps and street plans into painted tableaus – sometimes in large format – to arrive at the formal basic structure and essence of a place. She paints the intuitively found base-colour of the place – the radiance, the atmosphere, in superimposed layers of colour, condensed into large-format colour compositions as a "subject with variations". In her abstract acrylic paintings on canvas or egg tempera paintings on wood, the main points of orientation for the viewer are the dominant colours. "I am inspired by the wonderful brightness of the colours of the early Italian paintings. With the background of my education as restorer, I use this traditional materials pigment/ egg tempera on wood to express what I feel about a certain place or about a place of my fantasy."
For Jeffrey Melzack, the ancient concept of telling stories through pictorial symbols serves as the inspiration for the images in his paintings. The body of his work is connected by a symbolic language of visual images that gives voice to his understanding of the world and becomes a visual language without boundaries. Using an underlying formula, he has established a rational for the compositions. The artist says that "I learned that my visual language had a power I could call upon to help my understanding of the world seemingly filled with so many ambiguities, some serious, some comical, some secular and some profoundly spiritual."
Vernita N'Cognita's artmaking is concerned with translating inner realities into installations, performances, photographs, monoprints and m/m collages. Through her visual and performance art, she creates a visual autobiography addressing issues of relationship, loss and self-actualization reflecting the complexities and nuances of her 21st century life. These images are from a series using body, dress and botanical prints combined with collage.
In her paintings, Lauren Purje juxtaposes cartoon imagery with painterly backgrounds, exploring the sublime and the absurd as concepts related closely to one another. She feels that the often dire circumstances surrounding thoughts of life and death, can be lightened and given new meaning when illustrated through this contrary juxtaposition of 19th century painterly backgrounds with comic-like characters.
Michael Rippl, a German artist, re-creates images he finds and works on them time and again over the years. In this exhibit one of his works is based on a photo by Andreas Caspari, taken from a ten meter diving tower, which was enlarged on a computer monitor. A detail of it was photographed with a Polaroid camera and the Polaroid manipulated by Rippl, creating a picture from a picture.
Katherine Ellinger Smith's work also is involved with transforming found images into her own work, but she begins by taking digital photos of vintage movies directly from her television screen. After identifying the image she most feels a relationship with, she then recreates it as a large-scale painting.
Sheila Smith's images are photographs of sections of collages that she has created as raw material for her final images. She then re-composes with the camera so that she can create a variety of abstract compositions from one abstract painted collage.
Meredeth Turshen states that "after a year's absence, I returned to my studio filled with energy--these pieces seemed to burst out of my pent-up longing to paint again and are an affirmation of my belief in the power of art to heal, console, enrich and enhance."
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12 - 6 p.m.
For further information please contact Vernita Nemec, Gallery Director

To George Washington from Thomas Jefferson, 13 June 1793
From Thomas Jefferson
[Philadelphia] June 13. 93.
Th: Jefferson with his respects to the President submits to him another letter to mister Morris, on a subject just now put into his hands.1
AL, DNA: RG 59, Miscellaneous Letters; LB, DNA: RG 59, George Washington's Correspondence with His Secretaries of State.
1. Jefferson's second letter to Gouverneur Morris of 13 June asked Morris to inquire into an "unaccounted for" one million livres granted to the United States by France in 1776 (Jefferson Papers description begins Julian P. Boyd et al., eds. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson. 41 vols. to date. Princeton, N.J., 1950–. description ends , 26:277). The material just put into Jefferson's hands was Alexander Hamilton's letter to him of 10 June 1793 and its enclosures (ibid., 243–47; see also JPP description begins Dorothy Twohig, ed.

Villa manager Paul Lambert has praised the job Chris Hughton is doing with Norwich since succeeding him at Carrow Road.
Lambert returns to his former club for the first time tonight for the claret and blues' Capital One Cup quarter final tie against the in-form Canaries. And the Villa boss has been impressed with the way Hughton has stamped his own mark on Norwich since the ex-Birmingham chief replaced him in the summer.
The Norfolk club are on a 10-game unbeaten run which includes six wins and four draws in the Premier League and Capital One Cup.
Their latest victory – a 3-2 success at Swansea on Saturday – left them 12th in the table, seven points and four places above Lambert's Villa. The teams drew 1-1 at Villa Park in late October.
Norwich beat Tottenham at the previous stage of the competition, having seen off Scunthorpe and Doncaster in earlier rounds. Lambert, who consolidated the Canaries' place in the Premier League last season after two successive promotions from League One to the top flight, is pleased to see Hughton doing well.
"I hope the Norwich fans concentrate on Chris," said Lambert. "He's done fantastically well. It's his club, it's his team now.
"Was he a good appointment? Absolutely, his track record was fantastic.
"He's got a really good club there and some really good people. I had three years and we had one hell of a time at it, but it's Chris's club now."

We've brought you a lot of infographics pricing out the real world cost of some iconic pieces of movie worlds. Since this blog began, we've looked at the costs of the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader's suit, Yoda's hut and Jabba's Palace. Those are just a handful of countless great real world cost infographics that we've done. Today, we add to that with the real-world cost of building an AT-AT. Keep this in mind when prepping for Rogue One in three months.
Entertainment Link-Off: Guns Blazin'
The ELO is a bit late this weekend once again but the unpredictable schedule continues over here in the Aussie HQ. Anyway, the weekly links are here, so let's get started with Ana de Armas. You can catch her in the flick War Dogs, which is out this weekend.
After the jump find out what it's like to work with Martin Scorsese, Avengers 4 will have a new title, there is a small hiccup for MI:6, the Chinese don't like Rogue One, and take a time warp back to the 2000s with the honest trailer for Gladiator! Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Slice and Dice
Welcome to another edition of the ELO. It has been crazy busy over here, so expect some delays with the usual ELO posts for the next little while. Anyway, Suicide Squad opens this weekend and it is set to make some box office records in August. I managed to catch the film earlier. It's not a great film and the editing is very choppy but at least the final product is an enjoyable ride. Oh and you can catch new breakout star Karen Fukuhara in the film.
After the jump, a tiny bit more Suicide Squad news, no Fresh Prince reboots in the works, leave Terminator alone, whitewashing the Great Wall and let's have a look at Zack Snyder's other polarizing superhero movie. Continue reading
How Much Would Darth Vader's Suit Cost? (Infographic)
We all know that to build the Death Star would cost in the quadrillions of dollars. I don't know what it would cost to convert a planet into a superweapon but I can't imagine that Starkiller Base would be any cheaper to construct. One thing that few talk about is how much it would cost to build and maintain Darth Vader's suit. Surprisingly, it's fairly cheap compared to most Imperial construction projects.
The WWE Draft Shows the Root Problems Won't Be Fixed Overnight
Last Tuesday's inaugural edition of SmackDown Live featured the second WWE brand extension draft. Unlike 2002, which had the WWF stars and writers that carried it through the Attitude Era and a multitude of WCW and ECW alumni, the current incarnation of WWE is headed up by a select few wrestlers who are allowed to be stars and writers that have led WWE to viewership declining to record lows.
As part of the TV deal that WWE has with the USA Network / NBC Universal, the USA Network requested that changes be made to SmackDown to shore up its ratings. The call was made to go live on Tuesday nights (when WWE tapes the show) and break up the WWE roster into two separate crews in order to give people a reason to watch SmackDown in addition to Raw.
The problem is that the draft didn't really do anything to make SmackDown important and worthy of appointment viewing.
Entertainment Link-Off: To the Unknown
It's Comic-Con weekend, so there would be plenty of new reveals taking place, even after the ELO gets posted. However, if you're not lucky enough to attend, perhaps you can venture to the cinemas to catch the latest Star Trek Beyond. Reviews have been kind so far and you can catch Sofia Boutella in the flick! Not that you would recognize her under all that make up in the movie though…
After the jump, Brad Bird does not like video games, a Pokemon movie could be on its way, Divergent series is headed to your TV screens instead, a few new Marvel/Netflix teasers to check out, and the latest Honest Trailer tackles Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off
Wow, those five weeks have passed by rather quickly. Well I'm officially back with your weekly set of entertainment links. I'm sure Steve is extremely relieved that he doesn't have to cover for me now. Anyway, there's a lot of summer flicks out there right now but it appears that most of them aren't leaving a lasting impression.The new release this weekend is the Ghostbusters reboot. While it's not a terrible movie and it might not be deserving of all the thumbs down on Youtube, let's just say it doesn't quite hit the high notes as it anticipates to.
Gonna kick off the link off with Maika Monroe. She's keeping a busy schedule ahead but you can catch her in Independence Day: Resurgence.
After the jump, comparing reboots to the original franchises, Suicide Squad is looking to roll in the cash, Mortal Kombat movie ain't dead yet, breaking down the new Rogue One clip and listen to Samuel L Jackson recap Game of Thrones. Continue reading

Americans made less in 2009; minimum wage set to rise in seven states
In a bit of news that probably surprises no one, Americans made less money last year than they did the year before, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Tuesday morning. Total compensation of U.S. workers shrank 3.2% in 2009. Blame it on declines in manufacturing and construction industries, the bureau said.
Just to be clear, compensation is the income companies pay employees for their work, as well as supplements such as contributions to pension and insurance funds. Employers, not employees, report compensation. So if you're getting paid by your father to pick up leaves clogging the gutter in the rain, you probably aren't counted in this study.
There were some counties where compensation actually increased in 2009. In Los Angeles, compensation increased 1%, to $268 billion, making it the county with the highest compensation in the country. On average, people in Los Angeles County made $65,126 per job.
In Anne Arundel County, Md., compensation increased 4.4%. In Arlington County, Va., it increased 4%.
Others weren't so lucky. Thanks in part to the financial crisis, the County of New York lost a whopping 7.4% of its compensation in 2009. People in the county still made $262 billion, and the average compensation per job was $109,028 (sounds like it's time to move to New York!). Compensation in St. Louis County, Mo., fell 11.5% in 2009, the most of any county.
Those that had jobs saw their incomes rise 1.2% in 2009. The average annual compensation per job was $56,962. Don't make that much? Maybe you should switch to the professional, scientific and technical services sector. It represented the largest share of compensation in 2009, 10.7%.
If you're making way less than the average annual compensation per job, there may be some good news coming your way. On Jan. 1, the minimum wage is set to increase in seven states, which will help 647,000 workers, according to the National Employment Law Project, a workers advocacy group. The minimum wage will increase by about 10 cents in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. That raises the minimum wage to as high as $8.67 in Washington, and to $7.35 in Arizona.
That could help the economic recovery, the group says, because many of the jobs being created now are low wage.
Declining compensation is bad news for the people who aren't working, of course, but it's also bad news for the governments that want them to pay taxes, or that want them to buy things and then tax those purchases. The less people make, the less the government takes. Shrinking local government revenues are expected to slow down the economic recovery.
So, try to make more money in 2011. Your government will thank you.

Budget to start process of reforming Central rural schemes, 45 years after first demand
Lean, mean scheme
India's rural development programmes are in for an overhaul. After the approval of the 12th Plan by the National Development Council (NDC) on December 27, 2012, the government has started restructuring of the behemoth called Centrally sponsored schemes (CSSs). In the Plan (2012-17) the Centre has committed Rs 541,276 crore for CSSs covering rural development, the highest ever budgetary support.
The 12th Plan recommends bringing down the number of CSSs and giving states a major say in their implementation. Though such demands have been made consistently in the past 45 years, this is the first time a concrete step has been taken to prune the ever-increasing number of schemes. A revenue-strained Union finance ministry just sniffed an opportunity to bring in some fiscal discipline.
The changes will be reflected in the budget for 2013-14. Going by officials involved in the budget preparation, the government may cut the current 147 schemes to 59. Of the 24 CSSs directly related to rural development, 11 may be retained, including the nine flagship programmes. Last year, a high-level committee headed by B K Chaturvedi, member of the Planning Commission, submitted a report suggesting such changes. The Centre is set to accept another recommendation of the committee: wind up schemes with annual outlay of less than Rs 100 crore. Of the six CSSs under the rural development department, four will be retained, while the District Rural Development Agency and the Provision for Urban Amenities in Rural Areas may be done away with.
|2011-12: revamp on the way
|Rural development programmes have gone through many transitions in the past two years
During the two-year-long consultation for the 12th Plan, it became clear that the money spent on programmes could not bring about much change in the living conditions of rural communities. This was because many schemes were implemented in isolation and did not give importance to local needs. What's more, states, including those ruled by the Congress, have been demanding more say in the way CSSs are implemented, something the Chaturvedi Committee had also suggested.
According to the 12th Plan, the existing CSSs will be restructured into three categories—flagship, major sub-sectoral and sector umbrella. The flagship schemes will get the maximum support, while the rest two will get funding to the level states find difficult to fund.
In another major reform, and a long pending demand from states, from April this year the Centre will give states some degree of flexibility in managing CSSs. During the NDC meeting, chief ministers pushed for implementation of the Chaturvedi Committee's recommendation to give states some autonomy to design and implement CSS according to state-specific needs. The 12th Plan has agreed to allow states to use up to 20 per cent of all Central scheme funds for projects designed by them. In addition, the rural development ministry has declared it will set up a Rs 40,000 crore Rural Development Flexi-fund for states to take up self-designed programmes. The Centre will contribute 70 per cent of this fund; states will shell out the rest.
'We want less'
This is not for the first time NDC has debated pruning CSSs. NDC has discussed it in 14 of its meetings where chief ministers demanded changes in the increasing number of the CSSs, citing intrusion into states' jurisdiction. In 1967, NDC formed a sub-committee on CSSs that recommended reduction in the number of Centre-assisted schemes to a minimum. After two decades, NDC again constituted a committee, headed by the then human resources minister PV Narasimha Rao, which recommended Central schemes not only be minimum but also their scope be limited to subjects having inter-region characters.
The approval of the 12th Plan marks the end of two years of hectic efforts to make expansive and expensive rural development programmes effective (see '2011-12: revamp on the way'). First, the rural employment programme went through a change with amended rules and an expansion of permissible works under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
This also coincided with the government asking the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to audit the programmes of ministries of rural development and drinking water supply and sanitation in the face of widespread corruption cases involving flagship programmes. CAG will audit programmes at the Central, state and panchayat levels. Second, a committee set up by the rural development ministry last year to restructure the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) recommended its abolition. The committee finds that DRDA is in direct conflict with the Constitutional mandate for panchayats, which are increasingly being assigned the responsibility of implementing rural development programmes.
The much-awaited reforms, however, are still not up to the states' expectations. For the past one decade, they have been demanding cash allocation from the Centre in lieu of CSS. This is because the Centre set the guidelines for the schemes, thus, taking away the autonomy to modify schemes to local needs. Financial flexibility will not address this concern. "The Centre's granting of flexibility is hardly a change. States should design CSSs according to our own needs," said Raman Singh to the media during the NDC meeting in Delhi. Former Jharkhand chief minister says, "The Centre should give us our share instead of designing the schemes. Every state has specific needs and thus a uniform scheme will not work."

Though a desirable move such
Though a desirable move such decoupling of schemes will further aggravate the silo mentality that has become the hallmark of the Planning Commission. I can visualize the ÔÇÿvery visible hand of babudom using the shield of 14th Finance Commission to stall the move. For instance, internationally it is recognised that silos for grain storage in a marginal small farmer dominated economic landscape have proved to be rusting monument to bad planning Planning Commission is complicit with agriculture ministry and egging on the food ministry to go high on PEGS. Similarly, the template of RKVY the flagship programme for agriculture that required states to tailor make an appropriate district agriculture plan, in a delicious irony builds on the marginal-small farmers as a major weakness that needs to be surgically removed. PM in his NDC inaugural speech on 27 December 2012 alluded to it ÔÇ£move people out of agriculture by giving them gainful employment in the non agricultural sectorÔÇØ.
The slim and trim move as described is designed to fail. The ÔÇÿtrickle downÔÇÖ approach surely has not worked nor has the bottom of the pyramid up approach allowed a natural growth pangs. Experience with 243ZD is contemporary history. The primacy to self-governing institutions needs immediate reckoning to save the rural economy and thus secure the rural livelihood.

PHILADELPHIA — Making his first start of the playoffs, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason stopped 37 of 38 shots by the Rangers on Friday night in a 2-1 victory at Wells Fargo Center that evened their opening-round playoff series at two games each, but the Rangers were not about to give Mason a lot of credit.
"We needed to make it harder on him," Rangers Coach Alain Vigneault said. "He saw quite a few of the shots."
Martin St. Louis said: "We made it too easy for Mason. We got a good amount of shots toward him. But we could probably generate a few more Grade A's, I guess. And we've got to keep it away from him — when we dump the puck in he plays the puck pretty well. That plays into his hand."
The Rangers also rued their power play, which was blanked all four times despite keeping control of the puck on each one.
The Flyers had a more enthusiastic view of Mason's performance, especially in the first period, when the Rangers outshot Philadelphia, 16-6. They streaked past the Flyers, who compounded their problems by repeatedly giving the puck away.
But Mason stood fast, allowing only Dominic Moore's goal at 4 minutes 38 seconds on the Rangers' fourth shot of the game.
"He owned his crease tonight," said Matt Read, whose goal at 8:55 of the first period tied the game at 1-1.
Jakub Voracek, whose power-play goal at 7:22 of the second period proved to be the game winner, said Mason "was our best player."
The Flyers took 25 shots on Henrik Lundqvist. They went 1 for 2 on the power play, and that was the difference, along with Mason's performance.
"It was good to feel the puck right away, make some saves, gain a little bit of confidence," Mason said. He left the next-to-last regular-season game on April 12 after a goal-mouth collision and tried to return for Game 2. But at a practice last Saturday he seemed nauseated and out of sorts, and declared himself unready. He came in at the end of the Rangers' 4-1 victory in Game 3 Tuesday, in relief of Ray Emery.
"This was a must-win game, and the guys responded," Mason said. It was the first playoff win of his career after four losses with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2009. The series returns to the Garden for Game 5 on Sunday at noon.
The Rangers have squandered chances to take a two-game lead in playoff series before. In 2012 they failed to take a stranglehold in series against the Ottawa Senators, the Washington Capitals and the Devils. They won the first two series in seven games, but, exhausted by the effort, ran out of gas against the Devils and lost in six.
The Flyers played the second half of the game with just five defensemen after Nicklas Grossman left the game with a leg injury from falling into the boards.
Moore took a hooking penalty just 2:26 into the game, but he atoned for his transgression by roaring out of the penalty box two minutes later and taking the puck away from Andrew MacDonald inside the Rangers blue line. He started a three-on-two break and fired the puck at Mason from a sharp angle.
Without breaking stride Moore scooped up his own rebound, rounded the net and tucked the puck in at the far post at 4:38, a split second before Mason covered the whole space.
The Flyers drew level when Lundqvist was fooled by the rookie Jason Akeson's carom pass off the end boards. The puck came out from behind the other side of the net, where Read rapped it in.
Moore went to the box again for cross checking in the second period, but this time the penalty cost the Rangers. The Flyers passed the puck around smoothly on the power play and scored when Brayden Schenn's pass from the point was directed past Lundqvist by Voracek.
At least one Ranger was prepared to give Mason recognition.
"I don't know if he made big save after big save, but he made some big ones," Brad Richards said. "Give him some credit."
The Flyers played the videotape of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" before the game, something they do when they need to win. They are 94-28-4 when she had sung the song.

I love how things are always a trend in the Korean beauty world – first, it was BB cream, then it was the BB cushions. In the skincare world, you've now got the trend of the First essences – something that's a nutrient-enriched version of a toner.
So far, I've tried the following First essences and gotten pretty decent results from them:
- IOPE Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning
- Hera Cell Essence
- SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
- The Face Shop Smim Fermentation Concentrate Total Treatment
- Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence
And well, if something's good and not broke, don't go fixing it – I'll be continuing to use First essences 😀
Nature Republic The First Essence – KRW32,000
The ingredient list is in English (for once!) – Phenoxyethanol is the latest replacement for parabens, and is a preservative derived from either grapefruits, green tea, or from a lab. I've done some reading and some people might get an itchy reaction from this, so do monitor your usage. My skin hasn't had any adverse reaction to this so far, thankfully. 😀
Immediately after it's been absorbed
A few minutes after absorption
I say…
- Like all other similar First essences, this also comes in a heavy frosted glass bottle. I'm more or less resigned to this already, although I still don't know if there's any scientific reason for it (i.e. preserving the integrity of the product for a longer period of time). It does cramp my (shopping) style though – it means that I can't buy more than 2 bottles at one time from Korea, cos it'll significantly increase my shopping weight (yes, I have bought 48kg of stuff back before heh).
- Anyhoos, the cap is the screw-on type, and the Essence is dispensed through a tiny 4mm hole across the top.
- The liquid is watery in consistency and non-sticky.
- It is really quickly absorbed, and leaves no residue – none of them sticky, greasy feeling.
- It has a nice mild floral-herbal scent – herbal enough to remind you that you're using a product with 6 herbs, but scented enough so that it doesn't turn you off.
- After using this for about 2-3 weeks, I actually notice that my skin is getting clearer and slightly fairer – nothing shade-changing though. It's more of an overall improvement in my skin radiance 😀
- It'a also made my skin slightly softer and smoother, but if I were to recommend this product, it'll be solely based on the fact that it helps in skin tone clarity. I'm guessing this can be attributed to its 90% fermented yeast from Jeju island.
- What's more, it ups my moisture levels – at certain times when my skin feels particularly stripped after cleansing or when it's particularly dry, I apply some of this and I can feel my skin being soothed by the extra moisture.
- Application info: Apply after cleansing onto bare face. I then follow up with Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum / Hanyul Optimising Serum –> Hanyul Skin Softner –> Emulsion –> Serum –> Cream / Day Cream –> Sulwhasoo Luminature Finisher (if I'm going out)
Yes I lurve this, and I'm so glad I adopted it back from Korea 😀

My communication skills over the pass years have been at ease for me. In my life I haven't been very social communicating around people. When I am giving a speech to a class, I feel confident. Some of the time when I'm giving a speech, I tend to stumble across my words and also mumble too. It is not that I feel worried that I'm talking in front of people but sometimes I read too fast I stumble over words and I tend to repeat the sentence over again.

trip I take with my family is a memorable one, but there is one that I will remember for all time, the camping trip of '05. Because it was such a scorching hot summer day, my mother decided to take us to the beach near our campsite. The sun was beaming down on us, but we didn't mind because the crisp breeze and the frigid water of the lake helped cool us down. My younger siblings and I were down by the lake blithely playing in the sand and splashing each other with water while my two older sisters

The recent scare over the sell-off of Britain's forests into private hands created a public outcry here in the Forest of Dean with protest marches occuring regularly. Many of the "action" groups, including Hands Off Our Forest (HOOF) got much of the attention, but few of this group could actually state the case well - just WHY is the Forest of Dean so special. Most quoted landscape, history or tradition, but amazingly to us, nobody quoted wildlife as the reason.
In recent weeks the wild boar are making themselves conspicuous again by roadside "mootings". It is the rut and the boar are on the move. It's a seasonal event and we predict all the usual press stories about how the boar are damaging gardens and picnic sites. It is so droll, and most of the criticism is coming from people who moved from a town, into the Forest, not realising there would be wildlife here! Sadly, people like to complain, and very few of us will write to the press with good stories. Please write your good stories!
So here is one.
We are glad to say that wellwishers are everywhere. A recent event (first week of September 2011) had a very young sow with six piglets visiting a local beauty spot and had residents and tourists alike smiling and wishing good health and future for the boar. They created an instant traffic jam as people rushed from their cars to take a photo. The energy and enthusiasm for the event was brilliant and heartwarming.
The boar pictured above are typically friendly. A very young sow, maybe just under a year old, has six very cute and amazingly friendly piglets at her side. She must be one of the youngest mothers ever experienced here in the Forest. Everyone was delighted to get so close to them. Even a child can be safe in their presence....(despite the fearmongering over the last 5 years)..
A young toddler of one of the members of Friend of the Boar enjoys her natural heritage
The potential for this family of boar to create a tourist attraction is tremendous. Please ignore the ridiculous hype about how dangerous these animals are. Here is photographic proof from early September 2011 to show you the FACTS.
But Friends of the Boar know all too well that this family will be easy pickings for the meat trade. By the meat trade, we mean the Forestry Commission, who have legal contracts to sell boar "venison" to private traders. If they fail to provide they will be sued. They also have a public relations commitment to achieve a cull target, decided by sticking a wet finger into the breeze and thinking of a number! (see blog entry below).
If you are appauled by the possibilty that the above sow and her adorable and extremely friendly piglets will be shot dead purely in order to fulfil legal contracts, and as a bit of sport by FC hunters, then please sign the petition for a closed season (below). Please please get in touch with us to add your name as a supporter of the wild boar here in the Forest of Dean and elsewhere around the country.

Fresh clashes in Pulwama after firing on civilians
Seven civilians were injured on Friday when allegedly security forces fired at them at two places immediately after an encounter in a Pulwama village, HT reports.india Updated: Jan 02, 2013 01:24 IST
South Kashmir's Pulwama district continued to be on a boil for the fifth day on Tuesday following firing on civilians by security forces last week.
In the morning, curfew was partially lifted in the town, 32 km south of Srinagar.
But locals soon resorted to protests and hurling stones.
"Some miscreant pelted stones near Muran Chowk, forcing traders to down their shutters," said a Srinagar-based police spokesman.
Seven civilians were injured on Friday when allegedly security forces fired at them at two places immediately after an encounter in a Pulwama village.
Tuesday's protests broke out after several shopkeepers found their shops vandalised, for which they accused the security forces.
A youth, Zubair Pandit, sustained head injuries during the protests. Locals alleged Pandit was hit by a tear gas shell. But police refuted the allegation.
The police said it exercised maximum restraint. "Two policemen were injured in the incident," said the spokesman.
Appealing the PM and defence minister to take note, the ruling National Conference issued a statement. "Your (the army's) one wrong move can bring the state back to a boil. In the garb of the AFSPA, you cannot simply go on doing what you want."
Defence minister AK Antony has, meanwhile, sought a report from the army over the alleged firing on Friday.

AMHERST — UMass has hired Matt McCall as its next basketball coach — finally.
The 35-year-old McCall spent the previous two seasons in Chattanooga, where he led the school to the NCAA Tournament in 2016.
The hiring is the second in two weeks for the Minutemen, after Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey backed out of an agreement to coach the program just minutes before he was set to be introduced.
McCall replaces Derek Kellogg, who was fired this month after nine seasons with the Minutemen.
In announcing the hire Wednesday, athletic director Ryan Bamford called McCall "a rising star."
McCall spent 11 seasons, over two stints, as a member of Billy Donovan's staff at Florida. He was part of four SEC titles, a Final Four and two NCAA finals with the Gators.
He also spent three seasons as an assistant at Florida Atlantic.

After Levi's and MOCA's Skate Video event (which you can read about here), I was able to catch up with host Patrick O'Dell for a quick chat. In case you don't know, O'Dell is the creator and host of VBS TV's superlative series Epicly Later'd, where O'Dell links up with some of skating's best youth (past & present) to find out exactly where their careers went, and what life holds for them and other profound shizz like that. Here's what he had to say.
How much in conjunction with the Art in the Streets thing is [Skate Video Night] supposed to be?
O'Dell: It's in conjunction a little bit. They brought it to me and yeah, I called Aaron Rose (Beautiful Losers) who curated Art in the Streets just to make sure. I mean it's a part of it, but it's not like Aaron Rose or Jefferey Deitch (related)… Jeffrey I don't think is coming and Aaron is not … I mean he is coming but it's not like… The show is the show it's just an event to do something else. But, I feel like it's cool because even the more I thought about the title Art in the Streets, I feel like that's what a skate video is, so, it feels super connected to me even though it has nothing to do with graffiti culture.
What reaction do you think you will get from people in the crowd?
O'Dell: I don't know, I mean I hope they enjoy it. I would enjoy if I was not me and was just sitting there, I'd be like, 'This is sweet- skate videos;' but then I look at the list and it's like people's girlfriends and like some random person that's maybe coming in cause they're siked on Spike's (Jonze) movies, cause in the New York one, I remember when we went to questions, one was like about Where the Wild Things Are. I mean, that's cool but a part of me was like 'Whoa, there aren't that many skaters here.' I like the mix because you don't always want to preach to the choir and I feel like I made at least a good introductory course to skate videos. I definitely don't think it's any kind of definitive history; a lot of people are like 'You should have this and this and this person and not this person.' It just is what it is.
Well it's pretty damn close; You have some really big names…
O'Dell: But, I mean you could always have more. When I was editing the clips I would lay there at night and be like 'Fuck! I didn't put in you know, some video and I could just imagine someone watching and saying 'Where's Static 3, my favorite video?'
Is there anyone not on the panel that you wish you had?
O'Dell: I asked Jamie Thomas and he couldn't make it. I thought that would be sweet because I think the Zero videos changed skating and started with Welcome to Hell. So I asked Jamie and he was just too busy. I would really love Mark Gonzales again but like I said, he is in Europe or whatever. We kind of moved the date for when Spike could do it and when we got Spike nailed in it was kind of like whatever else falls into place… He is super busy and like a miracle to get him. He said 'I'll be in LA these 3 days. We called the Vista, they said good so…
I always wondered what it was like for a bunch of skaters to go out filming with Spike Jonze because he is so well known (now), do you ever think about it that way?
O'Dell: I do, well, when I started working for VBS, he was the creative director and a couple weeks into it I met him and I was kind of mind blown not because of Being John Malkovich or the films but because of the skating; for me, even more his videos and photography. So, when he was shooting Guy Mariano and Gonz and had all the best people, we were tripping out: 'Like this guy only shoots with my favorite skaters.' I had so many pictures of his on the wall that I could just identify like some Jeremy Klein sequence; so I got really star struck not in like a 'He's famous' kind of way but in a 'This is the guy that made these movies' way.
Talk about VBS and how Epicly Later'd is doing.
O'Dell: Josh Kalis was the most recent one; the next one is Brandon Westgate. I'm trying to do young (but) I mean sometimes I fall into ruts where it's like, 'I'll do one guy and then get his friends that go 'Dude, do me.' I like there to be a little continuity, but with Westgate I was just like 'This is the best guy out now' like Dylan Rieder- this is what it's like to be the best guy out now.
Epicly Later'd is all you right?
O'Dell: Yeah, I don't edit it; we have some really sweet editors. I film it; sometimes stuff gets through that I don't film, like if it's somebody in New York and I'm not in there. I have a team in New York with really talented people and they do more than I do. Once I film it, the tapes get Fed Ex'd to VBS and Lauren S., Chris Grosso and Eileen Kennedy they put it together. I get to watch previews but I'm not slaving away on Final Cut. They always do a good job; I might have one or two changes but usually it will come in and I'll just be like 'Sweet, load it up.'
