From the end of the 18th century to about 1820, when glass cutting became a commercial production, a great number of pieces were made in small shops by individual crafters, who cut and decorated blanks of glass pieces, that were blown somewhere else.
Patterns in cut glass are geometric and determined by that process.Early American cut glass patterns were taken from English and Irish cut glass. These were the only patterns possible, as curves could not be cut.
Bakewell and Company,1808-1882, of Pittsburg, were the first American Companies to make cut glass commercially.
In 1818, the New England Glass Company was founded and from the start ,a cutting department. with cut glass mills, ran by steam, were very profitable. Most work was done from pattern books with over 400 designs.
Cut glass continued to be fashionable and the desired glass, by all who could afford it, until the first part of the 21st century.
In texture and design, American cut glass of the last half of the 19th century was unequaled by any in the world. Over 60 manufactures from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, were producing cut glass. The industry was centered in Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts.The glass was of the finest flint and the incisions were clear, clean and sharp.the the patterns were heavy and BRILLIANT.
Glass is a remarkable substance born of sand, alkali and fire.Glass has been produced for more than 3,500 years.Cut glass is glass that has been decorated entirely by hand, by use of a rotating wheel. Cuts are made in other wise completly smooth surface of the glass but artisans, Various sized metal or stone wheels , and running water, are used to do the cutting. Cut glass can be traced to 1,500 BC in Egypt, where vessels of varing sizes were decorated by cuts that were believe to have been done with metal drills.Artifacts dating to
the 6th century BC indicate that the Romans had mastered the art of glass cutting.
The first cut glass in America has been traced back to Henry Stiegil, an immigrant from Germany, who founded the American Glass Company in Pennsylvania.
During the 18th century high grade deposits of silica were discovered in America,leading to glass making being vastly better than glass made in Europe. About the same time, natural gas furnaces replaced coal ones and electric motors replace steam, making it much easier to cut and control the glass. At this time cut glass became a symbol of elegance and leisure and demands for beautiful glass products,spurred intense competition and creativity with in the industry
The BRILLIANT PERIOD of cut glass was the late 1800's to early 1900's and it brought about many changes in cut glass. Stunning new patterns, quite unlike the earlier European designs ,were developed and patented. Fine cut glass was soon sought after by wealthy Americans. By the late 1800's prizes were being won all over the world by American glass makers,
American cut glass during this Brilliant period became the choice of Kings and Presidents. The Presidents of America, Mexico and Cuba, fancied this cut glass. Pieces of Lincoln's cut glass, are still on display in the dish room at the White House today. Edward VII of Great Britain was a big lover of the American Brillant cut glass.
Since true cut glass is entirely hand decorated, high labor cost made it expensive and out of reach to all but the wealthy. The introduction of pressed or pattern glass, lead to the demise of the cut glass industry. During the hay day of this period there were more than 1,000 cut glass factories and by 1908 there were barely 100. From 1908 to 1915 some of these cutters created some of the finest designs ever made of cut glass. Glass of this period is heavy, cuts are deep and the pattern is Brilliant, when held to the light. There never has been anything to equal this since. In Ireland the Waterford Glass Company has managed to stay alive and do pretty good, but just last month, it was announced they were closing there productions.. Waterford glass is loved and collected by many, but to me, it is nothing ,compared to the old Brilliant Cut glass. I lost interest in Waterford, when they began to sell things at TJ Max and Home Goods.
I have never been a big time collector of the American Brilliant Cut glass, I am , however, a lover of it.. When I was younger and starting out, these cut glass pieces were over the top as far as prices went. I have always loved it and bought and sold many pieces. I especially love punch bowls and lamps. I have never felt I could find either one at a good price that would make it affordable for me to keep. Punch bowls with stands in perfect condition still sell for thousands today. Some with miner chips still command hundreds of dollars. Large cut glass lamps, with prisms, from this period , can also go for thousands. Smaller, not so great ones sell for hundreds. I have had a few of not so great ones, always sold them and have always been looking for that great one. Found one once in New York, but the price tag of $10,000.00, made me leave it . Like my mother always told me, "Go first Class, or stay home."
Cut glass chips and breaks very easily and must be handled with care, a sudden change from hot to cold, can make it crack. Pressed or pattern glass is much more affordable, and doesn't require the gentle care that cut glass does. It has much of the same effect when used on a table, and prices are far less.
Like a lot of other antique items, cut glass has gone done in price. Very few of the younger generation know what it is, nor do they care, They have grown up in the plastic world and seem to not mind it . I still find that the big, rare, signed and unique pieces still command a pretty good price. Average pieces like, vases, water pitchers, bowls and a common bottle, can be found at very low prices. I have a few pieces that I have found here and there ,at those low prices. I like to use them when I serve or entertain. To me this is the most elegant glass one can use. The sparkle or Brilliance is equaled by no other. When the light hits a piece, it cast prisms about the room.
I hope you can come by some day and visit me and Sissy ,at My Old Historic House. I will leave the lights on and Sissy Dog ,will always meet you with a jump and a kiss. And I will serve us up something good ,from a Brilliant piece of American cut glass.Keep on shinning!
|This cut glass piece has a sterling top.

A student pointed me to this comic illustration by Stephen McCranie.
there are also these very interesting links.
What I tell myself everyday.
To all the people watching, I can never ever thank you enough for the kindness to me, I'll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask is one thing, and this is.. I'm asking this particularily of young people that watch: Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism - for the record it's my least favorite quality, it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen." - Conan 'O'Brien

Both Bars On: Top Thirty Records of 2016
Welcome to our eighth best-of-the-year list, and our second as a crack team of four. It's patently obvious that 2016 has been thoroughly rubbish*, but at least we've had plenty of good music to set against the headlines, bowings-out and splittings-up. The compilation of our Top Thirty Records of 2016 was less painful than usual too, the smooth working of one well-oiled machine (we call him Pete). Still, those of you who come back every year will see that despite the neatness of the electoral process the list shows the usual surfeit of eclecticism.
So we invite you to view our shiny baubles, our fresh and seasonal produce. Not a turkey to be seen, apart from the four above. See you in 2017 – at the very least it won't be 2016. Cheers!
(*although angrybonbon got married to the love of his life, so 2016 wasn't all bad for everyone. Cheers!)
In the bubbling under category: Apostille: Virile Strain Transmission; The Belbury Poly: New Ways Out; Bob Mould: Patch the Sky; Weaves: Weaves; Radar Men From The Moon: Subversive II: Splendor of the Wicked; Ben Chatwin: Heat & Entropy; Steve Hauschildt: Strands; Hen Party: Glitter Sweats.
Reissues: Sweet Billy Pilgrim: We Just Did What Happened and No One Came
The Top Thirty:
30. Galcid: Hertz
29. Ogre & Dallas Campbell: Night of the Living Dead (Original Motion Picture Rescore)
28. Peter Baumann: Machines of Desire
27. Mugstar: Magnetic Seasons
26. Factory Floor: 25 25
25. Vanishing Twin: Choose Your Own Adventure
24. Barberos: Barberos
23. Goat: Requiem
22. Opeth: Sorceress
21. John Carpenter:Lost Themes II
20. Go March: Go March
Add Go March to your list of famous Belgians as this Antwerp band lay out a striking debut of spiky motorik and krautrock.
19. Juan Atkins & Moritz Van Oswald: Transport
Two of the heavyweights of techno come together as Borderland to produce the deepest beats and phasing loveliness.
18. Yak: Alas Salvation
Fearsome guitar noises, shouting, tunes. Victorious!
17. Grumbling Fur: FurFour
Mind-expanding pop music, featuring biblical patriarchs from outer space.
16. The Heartwood Institute: Calder Hall: Atomic Power Station
Sizzling with radioactivity, the polymath that is The Heartwood Institute delivers a beautiful slice of electro-hauntology.
15. The Pineapple Thief: Your Wilderness
Somerset's greatest prog band return to form with King Crimson/Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison along for the ride.
14. Teleman: Brilliant Sanity
The second collection of slightly wonky but brilliant pop songs from a band who seem to be able to produce them without breaking a sweat.
13. Thee Oh Sees: A Weird Exits
San Francisco psych rockers manage what looks like a crossover smash on their first of their two records for 2016.
12. The Mortlake Bookclub: Exquisite Corpse
The only soundtrack you need for the Folk Horror Revival. Four movements of palimpsest drone that both spooks and moves.
11. Martha: Blisters in the Pit of my Heart
Reminds you it's still possible to do quite a lot with the raw materials associated with 'punk' & 'pop' if you're as smart and lively as this lot are.
10. worriedaboutsatan: Blank Tape
Brooding, ambient electronica and hypnotic atmospheric rhythms. Antoher top class album from this duo to follow last years's Even Temper.
9. Posthuman: Back to Acid
12 tracks of caustic pleasure, from the robotic march of 'Six Hundred' to the delicious twang of 'Beat Down', via the excellent atmospheric throbber 'Mezzotint'. I've said it before, Acid House is the new Dad Music.
8. Warning Light: Life Death Suite EP
Entrancing clatter and looping tones as a taster for the full album.
7. Teenage Fanclub: Here
It's been six years since the last one, but the Fannies shine just as brightly as they ever did.
6. A Year in the Country: The Quietened Bunker
Nothing quite says 2016 like a compilation album on the theme of abandoned cold war structures and bunkers, because underground is where we'll all be living soon after the nuclear button gets pressed. Unsettling drone, snatched samples, glitched beats and claustrophobic synths; it's all here.
5. Meilyr Jones: 2013
So rich, extravagant, and strange that it sounds like a 'best of' album covering several years in an artist's life; no single track can do it justice but this will do fine here:
4. Voyag3r: Are You Synthetic?
The perfect SF adventure album. From laser duels on frozen planets to war rockets being dispatched to Ajax, this album oozes class and sophistication whilst not taking itself too seriously. It's the sound of a band having stupid amounts of fun and tracking 'Flash Gordon On Ice: the Musical' whilst they're doing it. Utterly brilliant.
3. Gnod: Mirror
Our Salfordian troubadours picked up the guitars (or banjos as they like to call them) once again and proved why they lead the pack when it comes to enveloping sludge, resistant noise and all-consuming terror.
2. Matmos: Ultimate Care II
Two men, one washing machine and one track. Every sound made from said cleaning device. From intimate glitch to all-out pounding techno. Too see this live, replete with the machine, was to marvel at the wonder and genius that is Matmos. Amazing.
1. Oscillotron: Cataclysm
The purest and deepest space music. Cosmic kosmische of the highest order. An album that let us take flight and escape the hideousness of this worldly reality, especially as it unfolded this year. Transcendental.
So you can do yourself a big end-of-the-year favour and go buy some or all of the above albums. They are available from shops and sites – independent ones, big shiny ones, online ones (who pay their taxes), ones where there isn't really a shop but you have to email some bloke. We like buying records – actually, we really do. And we think you should too.
Merry Xmas and a happy Newest Year one and all.

4 October 2013 at 5.40pm | Comment on this article
'A drama of such extraordinary tragedy that seemed forbidding to music': so wrote composer Arnold Schoenberg, reflecting on his pupil Alban Berg's masterpiece Wozzeck. Certainly the opera's themes are dark, a harrowing psychological drama about a disturbed man who is abused, used for experimentation and - as a result - is driven to murder the only person he loves. 'Man is an abyss - you feel giddy when you look into it', declares the libretto forebodingly.
The opera is an adaptation of an incomplete play entitled Woyzeck by Georg Büchner. Berg saw the play in May 1914 and immediately knew he wanted to base an opera on it. The opera's subsequent success has been followed by a number of other adaptations of the tale:
Film: Woyzeck (1979, Dir: Werner Herzog)
Werner Herzog's adaptation of Büchner's tale starred regular collaborator Klaus Kinski, who began filming just five days after the completion of Nosferatu the Vampyre, also directed by Herzog. The director intentionally exploited the actor's exhaustion for the part in which Kinski was described in a review as appearing 'like death given a reprieve'. The film follows Büchner's original narrative but, as Berg found, with the source play incomplete it was up to the adapter to reconfigure the fragmented scenes as he thought they should be ordered.
Woyzeck was an exercise in lightning-quick film-making and has just 27 cuts between shots throughout the whole film: 'People don't seem to understand that I hate to make difficult films,' said Herzog, 'That's the reason I liked making Woyzeck so much - That's how films should be made!'
Ballet: Different Drummer (1984, Choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan)
The idea of the underdog's struggle against the system driving him to madness immediately appealed to Kenneth MacMillan, who six years prior had created a ballet around themes of madness and betrayal with Mayerling. The early 1980s was a time of strong feelings towards the military - for and against - as a result of the Falklands War so the piece was certainly topical. In adapting Woyzeck, MacMillan jumped at the chance to give vent to his own father's resentment of the army in World War I, as well as his mistrust of the army doctors who treated him after he was poison-gassed in the trenches.
The creative process was a difficult one for MacMillan, who agonized over the choice of music for the score (opting in the end for a combination of Webern and Schoenberg), as well as changing his mind about the design of the production late on in the process: 'Petrified of my ballet. Can't do it. Feel helpless', he wrote in his diary. As a result, the work premiered on a practically bare stage, increasing the work's sense of claustrophobia. 'It is a frightening statement about the human condition that haunts the mind long after the curtain has fallen', said the Sunday Telegraph.
Immersive theatre: The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable (2013, Punchdrunk)
Trading Woyzeck's traditional central European setting for the darker side of Hollywood behind the whiter-than-white smiles, immersive theatre company Punchdrunk's latest work - a co-production with the National Theatre - updates Büchner's original to 1960s Los Angeles. The vast production takes over an abandoned sorting office in Paddington and sprawls over several floors, including film sets, shops, bars, a working cinema, and a number of hidden rooms. Mask-wearing audience members are free to roam as they please but at the climax, find themselves reunited to witness the dramatic finale.
Press reviews have been mixed, not a surprise when you consider the spontaneous nature of this style of theatre, but The Drowned Man is certainly ambitious and has its passionate fans: 'It's the first time we've played with the idea of more than one lead narrative,' explained Felix Barrett, Punchdrunk's Artistic Director.
The Royal Opera's Wozzeck runs from 31 October - 15 November. Tickets are still available.
Punchdrunk/The National Theatre's Drowned Man runs until 30 December. Tickets are still available.

Learning skills - especially to high levels - can take weeks. Is there any way to decrease the amount of time needed to learn a skill?
Don't get me wrong - I think this real-time aspect of the game is great. But it's not entirely unreasonable that some action or item or whatever might improve my learning abilities. A skill-learning skill perhaps ;-)

This elaborate custom PC was built for display at this year's QuakeCon. You can take your pick as to what's most amazing about the project: the fact it works, the fact it looks identical to a terminal from Fallout, or the fact the entire thing cost under $60.
The PC's exterior is hand-made, while the screen is an old CRT unit. It's running Ubuntu, and that hacking game you see on the screen isn't static; it's been programmed to actually work as a Fallout hacking game.

Stop me if you've heard this before but... the Nexus 5, probably the most anticipated Android phone right now, popped up on the Internets before it was officially announced.
In fact, it looks like the Nexus 5 has revealed its full spec list too. Can't we just start buying this phone already, Google?
This new leak (I've lost count on how many Nexus 5 leaks there have been, it's almost double digits) comes courtesy of WIND Mobile's (a Canadian carrier) Facebook page. The Nexus 5 was actually available for 'pre-registration' with WIND Mobile for a bit before it was taken down. Along with the sign-up page, WIND Mobile revealed the full spec list which matches up nicely with what we've seen earlier.
- Screen: 4.95" 1920×1080 display (445 ppi) Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Cameras: 1.3MP front facing 8MP rear facing OIS
- Dimensions: 69.17 x 137.84 x 8.59 mm
- Weight: 130 grams
- Operating System: OS Android 4.4, KitKat

In the last several decades, the myth of the homogenous suburb has eroded. This is especially true for immigrants.
Latest Cities Posts:
Loading feed...
In 2000, researchers discovered that 52 percent of immigrants in metropolitan areas were living in suburbs. One facet of this transformation has attracted less scrutiny: over the last quarter century, hundreds of thousands of Asian migrants have arrived in the suburbs.
The best place to witness this rapid transformation is in the suburbs east of central Los Angeles, an area known as the San Gabriel Valley. In 1980, few would have imagined that the region would today be a cluster of majority and near-majority Asian suburbs. Here's a demographic snapshot of the Valley in 1980:
Only in Monterey Park did Asian households approach even a third of the population. The other Valley suburbs, like South Pasadena (8 percent), Rosemead (7.3 percent), and Alhambra (9.4 percent), remained in the single digits.
By 1990, a far more noticeable transformation had begun, as the following map shows:
Monterey Park became the first suburb to turn majority-Asian, with an Asian household percentage of 53.2 percent. Sociologist Timothy Fong dubbed it "the first suburban Chinatown."
Rosemead jumped from 21.9 percent in 1980 to 29.2 percent. There were similar increases in Alhambra (31.9 percent) and South Pasadena (15.7 percent). Even suburbs with very small Asian populations in 1980 saw huge spikes. Arcadia went from 2.7 percent Asian-headed households to 16.5 percent; San Marino from 5.1 percent to 23.7 percent, and San Gabriel from 6.43 percent to 27.1 percent.
Outside the San Gabriel Valley, in Los Angeles County as a whole, the change was much more gradual. The percentage of Asian households grew from 4.9 percent in 1980 to 9.3 percent in 1990, which made the neighborhoods of the San Gabriel Valley even more demographically remarkable. Many new Asian immigrants who settled there bypassed the conventional suburbanization process of first settling in ethnic enclaves in the urban core and moving outward to the suburban periphery over time. In the San Gabriel Valley, suburbs were the new ethnic enclaves and frequent first destinations.
These trends continued into the new millennium. As the 2000 map shows, the growing number of suburbs where Asian households were a third or more of the population (indicated with the darkest purple) reflected increases in concentration and dispersion of Asian settlement.
One other Valley suburb, Walnut (not pictured), joined Monterey Park and became majority-Asian, with an Asian household percentage of 53.1 percent. Rowland Heights was close, at 49.8 percent. In 1980, they had only been 7 percent and 9.4 percent Asian, respectively. As for Monterey Park, its percentage of Asian households reached 60.7 percent by 2000, twice what it was in 1980.
The rapid Asianization of suburbanization occurred alongside steady Latino migration. In some San Gabriel Valley suburbs, the new Asian arrivals lived alongside Latinos (both multi-generational and immigrants) and whites. In these "tri-ethnic" suburbs, demographic transitions were often marked by some tension. In other suburbs, the neighbors of the new Asian arrivals were mostly white. (More disturbingly, with a few major exceptions like Pasadena, black households typically made up less than 5 percent of households in these suburbs.)
Since 2000, more than a half-dozen additional suburbs in the region have become majority-Asian. These maps best capture the emergence of majority-Asians suburbs over the past thirty years, from 1980 to 2010:
If we also look at maps that show Asian household between 40 percent and 50 percent, we see that an additional crop of suburbs are on the brink of becoming majority-Asian:
Likewise, if we examine total population, not just households, we see that even more suburbs can be classified as majority-Asian:
The uniqueness of this pattern of suburbanization cannot be overemphasized. In 2010, of the 29,514 geographic areas across the country defined as "places" by the United States Census Bureau - which typically correspond to recognized cities, towns, suburbs, and other, mostly unincorporated, areas - only 37, or 0.1 percent, were majority-Asian. If one considers places where the percentage of Asian households is 25 percent or higher, still only 183 places — 0.6 percent of the total — meet the cutoff. All 183 places are in about a dozen states, most of which contain only a handful of them, and the vast majority are small places with fewer than 10,000 households. California is the enormous exception: the state alone has almost forty places with more than 10,000 households and an Asian household percentage of at least 25 percent. Hawaii, the only other state with multiple places meeting these criteria, has just five.
Put simply, the story we tell here is distinctly Californian, one specific to the San Gabriel Valley in the south and Silicon Valley in the north. Pictured below, the latter region (where NBA star Jeremy Lin grew up) has seen similar processes of mass Asian suburbanization in the last thirty years.
Is this spatial arrangement the exception or the rule for California's growing Asian population? Maybe both. Within Los Angeles County writ large, 34.8 percent of Asian households are in Census places with Asian household percentages of 25 percent or higher. Just 17.5 percent of Asian households in the County are located in majority-Asian places. Nationally, those figures are even smaller, with 19.6 percent of Asian households in Census places with Asian household percentages of 25 percent or more, and only 5.7 percent in majority-Asian places.
Most Asians don't live in the kinds of places we have discussed. In this respect, the San Gabriel Valley is simply one facet of the incredible heterogeneity of Asian settlement in the United States. Despite the remarkable growth of Asian populations in the suburban enclaves we describe, many Asians still live in neighborhoods with small or dispersed Asian populations.
At the same time, the historical trends we chronicle are increasing enough to suggest that the Asianization of suburbanization will take place elsewhere. It's already happening in states like New Jersey, where Asians make up only 8.3 percent of the state's population but represent a third or more of the population in suburban boroughs like Fort Lee and Palisades Park.
Such areas complicate scholarly arguments that characterize Asians as an upwardly mobile population more likely than other groups to move into more affluent majority-white areas. The notion resurfaced recently in a widely publicized Pew Center report which contrasted the "residential enclaves" and "other Asian communities in cities" of the past with the ostensibly exceptional residential assimilation of Asians in the present. It declared that:
Asian Americans are much more likely than any other racial group to live in a racially mixed neighborhood. Just 11 percent currently live in a census tract in which Asian Americans are a majority.
These generalizations are misleading. Despite sustained immigration, Asians are a much smaller proportion of the American population than blacks or Latinos, so it's not surprising that in the national aggregate, only 11 percent live in a majority-Asian tract. (As the report's authors themselves explain, "Each of the other [non-Asian] groups is more numerous than Asians, thereby creating larger potential pools for racial enclaves.") These geographic generalizations also tend to fall apart with a more granular focus. Our data from San Gabriel Valley belies the notion that "residential enclaves," for at least some Asians, are a thing of the past. Indeed, they are continuing to form, even among Asians with the means to live where they please.
Another hole in a simplistic assimilation narrative is the San Gabriel Valley's internal economic diversity. Asian median household income in Monterey Park and Alhambra is $51,608 and $49,972, respectively. Asian households in South Pasadena and Arcadia are significantly more affluent, with median incomes of $82,330 and $84,202. Asian households in La Canada and San Marino are among the richest in the state, with median household incomes of $117,396 and $154,744. These figures exemplify what has become a cliché among scholars of the Asian experience in the United States: the need to disaggregate the population on several axes, region among them. Aggregate statistics of Asian characteristics reported only at the level of large geographic areas — the sort reported frequently by media outlets and think tanks — obscure this differentiation.
There are also multiple Asian migratory streams in the region, where most Asian adults are immigrants. In Los Angeles County, 68.1 percent of the Asian population was foreign-born in 2010. Within the County, most come from countries in East Asia (42.7 percent) and Southeast Asia (40.0 percent), followed by South Asians (17.3 percent).
But contrary to popular perception, the most frequent country of origin is in Southeast Asia, not East Asia. That would be the Philippines, which accounts for 23.a percent of Asian immigrants, followed by Korea (15.9 percent), China (13.1 percent), and Vietnam (9.4 percent). That differs somewhat from the national pattern, for which the Philippines (17.7 percent), India (17.1 percent), China (14.8 percent), and Vietnam (11.9 percent) were the top four sending countries for foreign-born Asians. Calculating these figures is complex, and there is more than one way to do it. For more complete data or elaboration, feel free to contact the authors.
Within the San Gabriel Valley, settlement patterns of Asian subgroups aren't random. In some Valley suburbs, the percentage of the immigrant Asian population from East Asian countries is much higher than it is in the county as a whole. Take South Pasadena, Arcadia, and San Marino, for example, with their East Asian foreign-born percentages of 75.5 percent, 79 percent, and 86.8 percent, respectively. In these suburbs, the Taiwanese foreign-born population is also disproportionately large compared to the county, and its members tend to live alongside a Chinese population that is also more concentrated.
Southeast Asians, on the other hand, are comparatively sparse. For example, despite Filipinos' prominence among Asian immigrants in the county at large (23.1 percent), they comprise a small portion of these three East Asian-heavy suburbs' foreign-born Asian population: 2.8 percent in San Marino, 3.9 percent in Arcadia, and 7.0 percent in South Pasadena.
In contrast, San Gabriel Valley suburbs with smaller East Asian immigrant populations tend to contain larger Southeast Asian populations. In Rosemead, for example, 65.9 percent of the Asian foreign-born population comes from Southeast Asian countries, compared to 33.8 percent from East Asia. La Puente reports similar figures. Rosemead and La Puente are also home to highly concentrated Vietnamese and Filipino populations, respectively. In Rosemead, 54 percent of Asians are Vietnamese; in La Puente, 32.4 percent of Asians are Filipino.
Not surprisingly, there are economic determinants at play. The most affluent suburbs tend to have more East Asians and fewer Southeast Asians. Conversely, Southeast Asians tend to reside in less-affluent suburbs. The two tables below summarize these patterns using a sample of Valley suburbs:
It would be wrong, though, to jump from this to blanket conclusions about socioeconomic status, even among disaggregated, particular Asian ethnic groups. Most lower-income Southeast Asian-heavy suburbs contain significant East Asian populations. Likewise, most higher-income East Asian-heavy suburbs contain substantial Southeast Asian populations.
All of these San Gabriel Valley characteristics affirm the findings of University of Pennsylvania scholar Michael B. Katz and his co-authors, who in a recent study write:
Immigrants now usually go directly to suburbs. But their choice of suburb is not random. It rests on both their own economic circumstances and the opportunities for affordable housing and work in different kinds of municipalities as well as, undoubtedly, on family ties.
Much of the literature on immigrant suburbanization obscures internal economic differentiation — the role of class — within immigrant groups and paints the distinction between city and suburb with a broad brush that misses the internal heterogeneity within metropolitan regions.
The San Gabriel Valley resists generalizations. It's a collection of small suburbs, but they hardly resemble the uniform white communities of cultural lore. It's a massive immigrant enclave, but it's as ethnically and economically diverse as Los Angeles itself. As these photographs comparing business districts in San Marino and San Gabriel show, the degree of Asian influence varies enormously within the region, even among neighborhoods only a few miles apart:
In Part II, we focus our attention on the most unusual community in the Valley: San Marino. Once one of the richest, whitest, and most conservative towns in California, it became a majority-Asian suburb in less than thirty years. A close look at San Marino illuminates much — albeit in an extreme way — about the transformation of the San Gabriel Valley as a whole.

On Monday, millions of people received a "special edition" of The New York Post that told the truth: "We're Screwed." I guess only fake newspapers can print real news.
More than 2,000 volunteers of The Yes Men, a "culture jamming" group, distributed a fake edition of The Post in New York City. The group's previous prank against The New York Times incorporated an Onion-esque fake paper with fake news. But this time, the fake paper contained real news.
The 32-page Post and accompanying Web site cite environmental issues from a February 2009 report from the New York City Panel On Climate Change, a study commissioned by Mayor Bloomberg. The lead article, "It's Coming!" notes that our carbon emissions will cause New York to experience "dangerous increases in temperature, extreme weather, and sea level rise."
The article encourages readers to "put pressure on government -- local, state and federal -- to convert our entire energy systems to sustainable sources." The "staff writer" urges leaders at the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh "to make the tough decisions and policy changes that will turn the heat down on New York and the world before it's too late."
The Yes Men strategically placed their news at the pinnacle of news surrounding the upcoming summit. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon is expected to push 100 world leaders on climate change at the Copenhagen conference in December 2009.
In a speech on August 10 in Seoul, Ki-Moon said leaders have a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" in order " to avoid catastrophic consequences for people and the planet." He warned that climate change is "simply the greatest collective challenge we face as a human family."
But environmental author Bill McKibben fears legislation will be too weak. In the May 2009 issue of Sojourners, McKibben explained why "350 is the most important number on earth."
"A year ago, our foremost climatologist, NASA scientist James Hansen, published a study showing that the maximum concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere compatible with the 'planet on which civilization developed' and to which 'life on earth is adapted' is 350 parts per million," McKibben wrote. "That's a tough number, because we're already past it."
McKibben's 350 environmental organization has organized an International Day of Climate Action for October 24, 2009.
The 350 organization is a partner of the Global Wake Up Call, which incorporated over 1,500 events in 112 countries, including the fake Post newspaper.
Sheldon C. Good is the media assistant for Sojourners.

On Outside the Lines today, Bob Ley found cause to recite a few bars from Jay-Z's DeShawn Stevenson dis track "Blow the Whistle," which Hova recorded during the hilarious LeBron & Jay-Z vs. DeShawn & Soulja Boy feud a few years back. There was little reason to expect that when James said that responding to Stevenson's initial "overrated" comment "would be like Jay-Z saying something bad about Soulja Boy," Jay-Z would take the time to record a dis track for a middling Wizards player; there was zero reason to expect that we would eventually end up with Bob Ley-Z reciting Jigga's bars. We've reached some kind of cultural crossroads here, and I really want to reverse as quickly as possible and never, ever look back.
But nonetheless, the pageant: Watch the entire video for a Big L remix. We do owe a nod to Ley-Z's ability to switch up his flow on the "king and the pawn" line. He's almost on beat.

Common Health QuestionsBack
How soon can I use tampons after giving birth?
You shouldn't use tampons until you've had your six-week postnatal check. This is because you'll still have a wound where the placenta joined with the wall of your womb (uterus), and you may also have tears or cuts in or around your vagina.
Using internal sanitary products like tampons and menstrual cups before this wound has healed could increase your chance of getting an infection.
After giving birth, you'll have vaginal bleeding, also known as lochia. It's similar to a menstrual period, but can last between two and six weeks.
It'll be very heavy at first, and will get lighter over the weeks. You're advised to use maternity pads or sanitary towels during this time while your body is still healing.
Read more about bleeding after childbirth.
Further information:
You shouldn't use tampons until you've had your postnatal check, which usually happens six weeks after giving birth. This is because you'll still have a wound at the site where the placenta joined with your uterine wall.

Is "Frank" Tom Cruise who sits in the background in a sort of comatose state?
Quote from: Christian on March 08, 2014, 02:24:48 AMIs "Frank" Tom Cruise who sits in the background in a sort of comatose state?Frank is referring to Frank TJ Makckey, who as you know is Tom Cruise's character. Not sure what comatose state you had in mind, but the scene PTA and PSH are working on in this clip is towards the end of the movie when Frank has arrived at the residence of Earl Partridge and goes to sit by his bedside and call him a piece of shit etc.during this extremely emotional scene between father and estranged son, Phil Parma stands in the background at a distance and out of focus. PTA is making fun of PSH by suggesting he will overact this moment where he really should be doing as little as possible, as the point of the scene will be taking place in the foreground. in other words PSH will be "hamming" it up, and delivering a "cheesy" performance, hence PTA's hilarious encapsulation of PSH's approach as "a study in ham and cheese". it's funny because PSH is obviously a great actor and he would have to be a complete amateur to actually do all that.the other funny part is that obviously PTA and PSH have a lot of private jokes, being old friends. and we're made privy to one such running gag when PTA suggests that PSH will perhaps take a pen to his mouth and click it against his teeth as part of his background action. the reference here is that this is something PSH actually did as Scotty J in Boogie Nights, you can see the clipboard and pen here where he leads Dirk to the set:in that scene Scotty keeps putting the pen in his mouth, of course there is a rather obvious sexual connotation to it as he is at the same time drooling over Dirk, the pen becomes a phallic object. so it is a bit "cheesy" in how not-subtle it is. this is why PSH in the magnolia doco says "three years later and we're still talking about it", i guess he came up with that part on his own. it's kind of brilliant really, i don't think it's any more cheesy than using the song You Sexy Thing to play during the first time Scotty sees Dirk at the pool party, in a POV shot no less.

Two teenagers face charges after a joyride in a stolen vehicle resulted in a police chase across two states and ended in a crash off I-85, according to NC Highway Patrol Sgt. G.S. Johnson.
Daterrious Daqua Johnson and Jacinto Elroy Henderson, 18 and from Mecklenburg County, each face one count of possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
Both were jailed without bond, Johnson a day before his 18th birthday.
Henderson faces an additional charge of felonious flee/elude arrest with a motor vehicle, according to an arrest warrant.
The teenagers allegedly stole a Ford F-150 Sunday near the Huntersville area. A man left the truck running when he stepped inside a gas station, according to authorities.
His truck was gone once he returned outside, according to Johnson.
�He went in to get a cup of coffee and left his keys in the truck,� he said. �The truck had Texas plates on it.�
A South Carolina police officer spotted the stolen truck heading north on Interstate 85 near Blacksburg, S.C., on Tuesday afternoon.
Henderson drove the truck, straddling both lanes while driving nearly 95 mph, Johnson said.
The speed limit on that stretch of I-85 is 65 mph.
�South Carolina authorities had us on the lookout for a careless, reckless driver running people off the road,� Johnson said.
Troopers stationed in Cleveland County picked up the chase near mile marker 5. Police say Henderson lost control of the truck before it flipped multiple times. The truck came to rest in Gaston County near exit 10 on the U.S. 74 ramp.
�It�s unknown how many times they flipped. They weren�t wearing seatbelts,� Johnson said.
Gaston Emergency Medical Services took theteens to Cleveland Regional Medical Center to treat their injuries.

Director takes a gamble in yuletide yarn 'Lady in the Lake'
Lady in the Lake/1947/MGM/103 min.
Mistletoe and holly, egg nog and parties, guns and murder. In "Lady in the Lake," based on Raymond Chandler's novel of the same name, actor/director Robert Montgomery mixes Christmas traditions with ironic noir style.
While sleigh bells are jingling, Montgomery's Philip Marlowe, the famed private eye, is trying to find a mystery woman named Chrystal Kingsby. Chrystal is married to Derace Kingsby (Leon Ames), the owner of a book publishing company in Los Angeles; she was last seen at the Little Fawn Lake resort.
Marlowe's been hired by one of Derace Kingsby's employees: uptight and bossy Adrienne Fromsett (Audrey Totter), a sharp-tongued executive editor with designs on her boss and his money. She chooses her detective not from the yellow pages but from a crime-caper manuscript Marlowe submits for publication – some effective multitasking she'll no doubt include on her performance review. Though Adrienne's all about business and bank balances at first, she softens as sparks fly between her and Marlowe.
Heading to Bay City (based on Santa Monica), Marlowe checks in with Chris Lavery (Dick Simmons), a Southern-transplant playboy with whom Chrystal was having an affair. But a punch from Lavery lands Marlowe in jail and he wakes up to questioning from Capt. Kane (Tom Tully) and Lt. DeGarmot (Lloyd Nolan). After his release, Marlowe learns that a woman's body has been recovered from the lake and that the caretaker has been charged with murdering his wife, Muriel (Jayne Meadows). He also finds Lavery's dead body.
From there, as Marlowe puts together the pieces of the puzzle – a multiple-identity scam, another murder, several soured love affairs, Chrystal's part in the proceedings – Adrienne realizes that Marlowe, not Derace Kingsby, is the man for her. (Look out for blonde actress Lila Leeds as a receptionist at the publishing company. Leeds was arrested with Robert Mitchum on Aug. 31, 1948, for possession of marijuana.)
More interesting than the plot is way the movie was shot. Montgomery plays Marlowe but we see very little of him in character because Montgomery as director took a stylistic risk by using a subjective/first-person camera and telling the story from Marlowe's point of view.
First-person camera had been used before – briefly in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931, Rouben Mamoulian) and "Murder, My Sweet" (1944, Edward Dmytryk) and most notably for about 30 minutes in "Dark Passage" (1947, Delmer Daves, starring Bogart & Bacall). But this was the first time the whole movie (other than a few times when Marlowe speaks directly to the audience) unspooled in this manner.
It's a daring experiment and a bigger deal than you might think, involving a number of technical, staging and acting challenges. In their excellent commentary on the Warner Home Video DVD, Alain Silver and James Ursini provide insight as to what this artistic decision meant for Montgomery.
For example, the film has very long takes and far fewer cuts than most movies of its time – this serves to build suspense but is tough to execute. For the actors as well (other than Montgomery) this presented hurdles. They were required to address the camera directly (something they'd been trained to avoid) and they faced the pressure of knowing that if they goofed toward the end of the take, the whole lengthy shot would have to be redone.
Additionally, Silver and Ursini point out that because "Lady in the Lake" was an MGM production (as was "The Postman Always Rings Twice" the year before), it had to conform somewhat to the studio's preferred look: high production values and high-key lighting – unlike most noirs, which used low-key light and featured richer shadows, more intense chiaroscuro.
So, did the shooting experiment work? Chandler, who drafted a script that Steve Fisher rewrote, thought Montgomery made a mistake. And having watched "Lady in the Lake: a few times, I'm inclined to agree. First, despite the marketing gimmick of putting the viewer in the detective's shoes and urging him/her to solve the crime, "Lady" feels artificial and stilted, perhaps because the long takes lend a slightly stagey feel to the performances.
Not seeing much of Montgomery/Marlowe makes it hard to connect to the story (typically Chandlerian in its twists and turns) and puts too much weight on the shoulders of the other players. While Totter and the rest are very capable, they can't quite pull off such a distorted view for the duration of the movie. It's too big a hole for any cast to fill.
And Marlowe isn't particularly sympathetic because we only glimpse him here and there instead of seeing him interact with the others – especially Totter. For their romance to work, we need to see them together!
That said, I don't want to get all Bah-Humbug about this yuletide yarn. "Lady in the Lake" is fun to watch just for the novelty value and I love to picture Adrienne sprawled on a sofa and whipping out her red pen to shape Marlowe's manuscript as he mixes her a martini, garnished with a candy cane, natch.
"Lady in the Lake" will show in 35 mm at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco on Wednesday, Dec. 19, as part of Noir City Xmas 3. The evening will also feature the unveiling of the full schedule for the Noir City 11 film festival.

As the year is coming to an end we are busy planning for next year. In 2010 we are going back to the basics of leaving a legacy of faith. This years challenges are all focused on YOU and your lifetime story. When you join us in this challenge you will be creating a mini-autobiography. We are counting down the days till January 6th because we are so stinkin' excited about the My Lifetime Story challenges!!!
Wouldn't you love to know what your grandma's favorite toy was as a child, how she felt when she met your grandpa, her favorite scripture and the song that expressed her heart? Your children and grandchildren will have that treasure when you join us in this challenge!
We will start out with your family roots in January and move into your childhood in February. We will continue throughout the year with your teen and adult years as well. The last challenge of the year will be a letter to your future generations or anyone who reads your book.
Each of our stories is important. This is a book that everyone should create about themselves. It will be the most treasured album of your family. As you create this album about your lifetime story you will be leaving YOUR LEGACY OF FAITH. This is an album that can make an impact in your life as you create it, but it will also create a major impact in the lives of your family both now and in future generations. As your children read your story in this scrapbook that YOU created, they will take your stories to heart. Your stories may have more impact on them than even Bible stories, because they are personal and from someone they know and love. When friends and neighbors pick up your storybook and look through it you will be witnessing without even saying a word. They will read your lifetime history and discover your love of Jesus, and His forgiveness and faithfulness in your life!
The My Lifetime story challenges will begin the first Wednesday in January. A new challenge will be posted each Wednesday all throughout 2010. The last challenge will be posted the last Wednesday of December. Just because the challenge series ends at the end of 2010 doesn't mean your lifetime story album is finished. We will continue to offer periodic challenges to continue your autobiography and keep it current.
Please join us in this year long challenge! Some of these challenges may be layouts you have already completed. That is ok! We need to get these all compiled in your lifetime storybook. Everyone deserves to be the star of their own book, including and most importantly YOU! If you don't put some time aside to create your My Lifetime Story album now, you may never find the time. If something were to happen to you, would your legacy of faith be lost forever? Take action now, join us as we create our lifetime storybooks for the next generation to see the glorious work the Lord can do in the life of a woman that loves God!
Begin thinking about what size album you would like to use for your My Lifetime Story challenge. Michelle started hers in an 8x8 but now has decided that she needs more space so is moving up to a 12x12. Sunny is doing hers 12x12 also because she knew she had a lot she wanted to fit into this album. What size do you prefer? Start gathering your supplies now so you will be ready to start when we kick off the first challenge January 6th!
Next week we will post a Photo List so you can start gathering photos that you will need for this challenge.

Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced that We Love Golf! ships to retail today for the Wii home video game system. North American players now have the option to meet up online and challenge each other in a realistic and immersive golf experience on Wii. We Love Golf! is rated E 10+ by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and carries a suggested retail price of $49.99.
We Love Golf! is the first online capable golf game for Wii and features a full array of online features, including "World Play Mode," where players can play random players online and collect player medals for their wins, and "Friend Play," where players may choose to play a friend from their Wii friend list. The game is also the first online Wii sports titles to enable players to play online with their personalized Miis. The new online modes for We Love Golf! are included in the game for the first time for the Western release of the game, as the Japanese version of the game (released in December 2007) did not have these online modes.
Additionally, We Love Golf! will have two new exclusive characters created solely for the western edition with unique unlockable Capcom character costumes. As an added bonus for all the Capcom fans, players will be able to take on the greens dressed as Chun-Li, Jill Valentine, Arthur, and many more. A variety of game modes, including multiple characters, unlockable character costumes and content will provide the most immersive golfing experience available this Summer.
We Love Golf!, created by the veteran studio Camelot Software Planning, presents a realistic and approachable golfing experience for all ages. Whether you're a golfing pro or a grandparent teaching their grandchildren, We Love Golf! offers an engrossing golfing experience thanks to easy-to-navigate menus, highly-stylized visuals, and the Wii Remote's unique motion-sensing functionality. Just as on a real course, gauging wind conditions, correct club selection and careful reading of the greens are all essentials for victory.

Irving, Tx — Last year, Keith Albright, senior vice president of franchising at Gold's Gym International, said the company planned to open about a half dozen Gold's Gyms in Hawaii over the next few years. Those plans will not include the last remaining Gold's Gym in Hawaii, which closed on Aug. 31.
Dave Reiseman, director of communications for Gold's Gym, says the closing club in Honolulu is an older, corporate-owned facility.
"We are constantly working to upgrade our portfolio, and this didn't meet the standards we've set for ourselves or our members," says Reiseman, who adds that Gold's plans to come back to the Hawaii market "in a bigger way."
The 1,500 members at the Gold's Gym in Honolulu will be transferred to nearby Powerhouse, a comparable-size gym that opened in July 2007 and has about 2,000 members, according to media reports.
The news of the closing of the lone remaining Hawaii Gold's came at the same time the company made several announcements that outlined the company's strategic move to grow the company with new locations in the United States and worldwide.
Gold's hired Marc Eisman as director of franchise development and support, Asia-Pacific. Eisman will be responsible for developing Gold's Gym franchise opportunities in Australia and throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Eisman, who will report to Albright, is a licensed chiropractor and formerly a Gold's Gym franchisee who introduced the brand in Australia and the South Pacific 11 years ago.
Gold's also has hired Durham, NC-based advertising agency McKinney to handle the company's advertising and marketing communications. McKinney succeeds independent Riester in Phoenix, which handled Gold's for about three years, according to a report in Adweek.
Adweek estimated that billings on the Gold's Gym account would amount to $15 million a year. Major ad spending on Gold's totaled nearly $4 million last year and $2 million through May 2008, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
"[Gold's Gym] is the No. 1 gym brand in the world," McKinney CEO Brad Brinegar said in the Raleigh (NC) News & Observer. "We think it's a terrific opportunity."
Lisa Zoellner, chief marketing officer for Gold's Gym, told the News & Observer that McKinney "appreciated the great heritage of the brand but also understood we need to move it forward — and put together a plan to do it."
The process of McKinney's hiring, first announced at the Gold's Gym convention in July in Las Vegas, was hailed as a success by both the corporate office and Gold's Gym franchisees.
McKinney will focus the theme of the advertising campaign, scheduled to debut this fall, on the commitment of Gold's Gym, from its franchisees to their staff to their members.
