Revere Quality Institute House
Buildings: Sarasota History
The Revere Quality Institute House located at 100 Garden Lane is an early example of modern architecture categorized as the Sarasota School of Architecture. It was designed in 1948 by the architectural firm of Ralph Twitchell and Paul Rudolph for the Revere Quality Institute. The residence embodies many principals first developed under the International Style in its planning and design which was adapted to the climate and geographical setting of Florida. It also reflects a new attitude to planning that melded interior and exterior space through an expanded use of glass walls and a minimum of visible structural elements. The Sarasota School architects contributed new design and material elements that distinguished their works from earlier International style precedents. Like the majority of the buildings designed by the small group of architects that came to form the Sarasota School of Architecture, the building is a highly individual stylistic statement, a one-of-a-kind design created to suit the needs and tastes of a client for a comfortable and visually distinctive residence.
Historical Context
The Revere Quality Institute
The post-World War II residential building construction industry raced to meet the housing demands of returning veterans. Wartime restrictions on the manufacture of consumer products and new construction were lifted. Raw material consumption and factory production, previously dedicated to the American war effort, now refocused on the domestic consumer market. It was a period of exciting new advances in residential construction. New and improved light metals and plastics came into common use. Synthetic resins revolutionized plywood building products. Traditional materials like wood, masonry and concrete, re-engineered for more cost-effective wartime erection, found a new place in home building. Prefabrication and other wartime production efficiencies became integral to peacetime construction.
In order to promote their products in this booming new market, the Revere Copper and Brass Company joined with the Southwest Research Institute, part of the Housing Research Institute, to create a national program to advance "better architect-builder relations and the general improvement of the quality of speculatively built houses." The program solicited proposals featuring quality modern design, which Revere considered more cost effective and livable than traditional residential design. Participants juried into the program would build ten or more economical, single family homes designed by a professional architect. Local and national publicity would promote the homes, architects, homebuilders and Revere Copper and Brass products throughout the country."
The Institute was not primarily concerned with architectural styles, but experience has demonstrated that intelligent planning for convenience and comfort, economy in the use of materials and site labor, and the elimination of superfluous ornamentation, usually results in distinctive contemporary houses. Furthermore, it was believed the public is better served when a choice is made available between houses of traditional styles, of which many are built, and other houses which do not adhere to the limitations of any traditional style. The value of retaining capable architects was emphasized. The cost of a house designed by a professional architect was not necessarily prohibitive. Frequently, architect designed homes actually cost less than those not professionally designed.
Architectural Significance
The Twitchell/Rudolph Plan
The design submitted by Ralph Twitchell (1890-1978) and his young associate, Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) was one of eight prototypes endorsed and commissioned by the Revere Quality House Institute and Architectural Forum. Built in 1948, the house was meant to demonstrate how industrial materials could fashion a durable, attractive and affordable private residence and embodied a long-term interest among technologists in developing a viable, economical concrete technology for building houses in Florida that would resist moisture, termites, and hurricanes. It was constructed by Lamolithic Industries, a local company that developed reusable modular steel forms and a mobile concrete mixing apparatus, intended to become a widely used construction system. John Lambie, the founder of the company, built five speculative houses using his Lamolithic concrete technology. Promoted as low-maintenance and fireproof, the concrete structure provided increased freedom in spatial configuration and the opportunity for larger expanses of glass. Built with poured concrete, steel columns and glass, the house had six-inch-thick slab walls, copper screening, wide overhangs, and non-load bearing interior walls.
The principals of construction employed by Twitchell and Rudolph for the project included "good site planning, efficient use of space, use of quality materials, employment of quality workmanship, installation of quality equipment, with planning for convenience, livability, privacy, orientation, outdoor living, and the future expansion of the house. The house was designed and placed so that a fixed glass exterior wall faced Bayou Louise. The opposite wall was a combination of fixed glass and both wood and glass jalousie windows. When the jalousie windows were opened, the house appeared transparent on two sides. A rectangular roof opening allowed for the creation of an enclosed courtyard that included a carpet of grass, adding to the blending of indoors and out. Both the living and dining rooms opened directly onto this courtyard area. Electric heating coils set into the walls provided winter heat while the overhanging roof eaves provided relief from summer heat. The interior of the house was designed to reflect the simplicity and utility of the exterior. The cabinetry and all of the fixtures were part of the overall design, and the furniture was selected by Twitchell and Rudolph. One of the more fascinating features of the interior was the copper hooded fireplace, whose flue doubled as a vent for the kitchen stove. The house drew both national and international acclaim, appearing in publications such as Architectural Record, Architectural Forum, Interiors, L'Architecture d'Aujord Hui (France), and Domus (Italy).
The design of the Revere Quality Institute House gave Twitchell a chance to more fully develop ideas that he had used in the design of his own residence at 101 Big Pass Lane in 1941. Twitchell had already begun to use a planar approach to his design and use of space, both on the exterior and interior. The flat roof forms and the extensive use of both fixed glass windows and sliding doors would mark his later works. His options, however, were limited in the design of this house because of his use of wood and Ocala block for the structural system. The materials also proved to be subject to the deleterious effects of the weather, especially the moist salty air that caused the structure to deteriorate without constant and expensive maintenance. Despite efforts to save this early forward looking example of Sarasota School architecture designed by one of its founders, the prohibitive cost of restoration made it virtually impossible to preserve "the house that started the Sarasota School." (The house has since been demolished and a good deal of the wood beams was salvaged by architect, Joe King).
After the Revere House was opened to the public in 1949, an estimated 16,000 people toured the house, and shortly thereafter Roberta Healy Finney (1915-1966) purchased it for $18,400. She was already familiar with the work of Twitchell and Rudolph who had built the nearby "Cocoon House" on Siesta Key for Finney's parents. Upon moving into the house, Roberta Finney stated that "the design, organization, and efficiency of the house provided the thrill of living in and being part of what was not a house, in the conventional sense, but a beautifully proportioned sculptural entity that is exquisitely elegant and refined." The house was hardly a year old, however, before it's pristine and elegant design fell prey to the necessity of expediency. After Ralph Twitchell moved into the house in 1950 upon his marriage to Roberta Finney, changes were made to accommodate the family. The carport area was converted into a master bedroom and the attached storage area into a bathroom. The interior patio was converted into an extension of the living room and the opening in the roof – which formerly had wire screening – was fitted with a skylight. Roberta died in 1966, and Twitchell married Paula Behnke (1920-1994). Twitchell lived in the house until his death in 1978, and Paula continued to occupy the residence until her own death in 1994. Members of the family continued to use the house until 1998 when the property was transferred to Doug Olsen in May of 2000. Olsen was joined by real estate developer Howard Rooks in January of 2005 to create the Odgen House Partnership to restore the historic residence to its original form and construct a new complementary residence on the site.

There will be an uprising among Muslims around Morocco's ban on the sale of burqas, but that doesn't mean it will be a violent uprising. It is ridiculous to blame an article of clothing for anything, and it is a meaningless change to outlaw them. Muslims are being targeted and they know that.
Yes, I think that prohibiting the sales will cause uprisings and a lot of problems among Muslims. Although I don't think that any woman should be forced to wear this, it also should not be impossible to buy. If someone wants to live their life that way and wear it, we should let them.
No, Morocco's prohibition of Burqas will not cause uprisings among Muslims. Not only are younger Muslims leaving Burqas behind in favor of more modern dress, older Moroccans from the upper and middle classes also do not favor the restrictive clothing. Beyond individual religious views , it is also a security concern for the country, and is a step in the right direction.
The niqab is a type of burqa covering everything except the eyes. The reason given was that criminals hide their identities using niqabs. I still don't think Morocco should ban it. There are so many other ways a person could conceal their identity. Makeup and a haircut for one. I don't particularly think women should wear niqabs since I'm agnostic, but if someone wants to express themselves that way they should be allowed to do so.
Also it only says the niqab will be banned from production or sale. If they don't ban wearing it a woman could still knit her own.
Most Muslims worldwide do not agree with wearing burqas or niqabs, so this shouldn't be an issue at all. There may be a few extremists who will be upset by this, but most Moroccans probably agree with the ban. Burqas are not very common in most Muslim countries, especially in North Africa.

"She is made from a different cloth."
That's what they said at the funeral of my uncle about his wife who faithfully remained by his side until death. My aunt who possessed the quiet strength of an empowered, educated and experienced woman, was married to my uncle for 45 years —– their long lasting love inspired numerous couples in their local community. They loved each other with all their hearts but most importantly, they loved Christ above all else on earth. (A deep love for Christ makes it possible to love others unconditionally.)
When my uncle was diagnosed with cancer, my aunt made the sacrificial decision to quit her job as an Educator to take care of him. At the time, I did not fully appreciate the sacrifice. I understood loving your partner with your entire being but I did not understand the love that propelled her to quit her job to personally take care of him with a nurse and learning medicine to be better positioned to cater to the needs of your husband. I didn't understand that. I didn't see many women in my society making such sacrifices for their husbands and deep in my soul I questioned her logic. (We doubt, fear and question that which we have not been exposed too.) The naysayers had their season and the discouragers and doubt planters had their field day, still as the strong-willed woman whom I admire so much, she remained resolute in her decision – to take care of her husband.
She later explained that making that decision was relatively easy for her because of the deep reverence and respect she had of the vow made during her wedding ceremony when she declared that she would love and take care of her husband, "for better or for worst, in sickness or in health". According to her it was a sacred commitment made to her husband, family and friends, herself and most importantly, God. (Respect for and dependence on God makes it easy for us to keep our promises made to Him).
The men in the church genuinely jested and commented on the increased difficulty in finding a woman who would sacrifice so much for her husband even in sickness.
I considered the emotional, spiritual and financial burdens that my aunt bore for over six years while caring for my uncle and her divine strength and faith that increased year after year and I couldn't help but agree with the men in the church that said, "she was made from a different cloth."
We need more women who are "made from a different cloth" – women who own a sense of confidence and grace, who are strong yet meek, who have overcome varying trials and soared to new heights with a new sense of purpose. Women who do not crumble with every attack on their lives but are built in trying times.
Women who are submitted to God and are passionate about Christ. Women who truly serve Christ in every aspect of their lives and depend on His strength and wisdom daily, after fully realizing that they are nothing without a connection with Christ. A Godly woman fears the Lord. A woman who seeks God's will over the approval of anyone else on earth. Her fear of God makes her aware of the future consequence of her choices. A Godly woman who avoids any present situation that would be destructive for her future usefulness to God. Women who pray more than they complain or worry.
Women who are more interested in the state of their hearts than their materialistic possessions. Women who adorn themselves modestly and give God the glory even in their choice of apparel.
We need more women who are "made from a different cloth" – women who are selfless and understand the importance of compassion. Women who understand that to be selfless is not equivalent to self-hate or denying self the healthy love that is required for it to blossom. Women who have accepted who she is in Christ and know the danger of living a life without Christ. Women who are dedicated to becoming a better woman than merely appearing to be a Godly woman.
We need more women who are "made from a different cloth" – women who trust love because love is God. They trust love no matter what happens because they are aware that love will see them through. Women who can see the mistakes and beauty of their significant others and not love their partners any less because they understand that love is a ministry and love should lead their partners closer to the heart of Christ. Women who are willing to pray for their relationship daily and seek God's counsels in maintaining relationships. These women understand that love is patient and it is never in a hurry, love is peace through all seasons, not worry cloaked in colorful apparel, love is faithfulness not physical or emotional infidelity. These women understand the beauty of love and the power it has to heal.
When I questioned my aunt about "being cut from a different cloth" she said "In order to be cut from a different cloth, you must give the Master Tailor (Jesus) your heart and He will cut you (sounds painful) and sew you (sounds healing) where it matters most and ultimately transform you into a masterpiece."
I am taking her word for what it is!

Have You Lived In A Public House In Nigeria? Share Your Funny Experiences.
talk2bella 03:32:00 Humor Page No comments :
If you haven't lived in a public house or if you didn't grow up in one I am sorry to say you haven't really lived the Nigerian live. There are different types of public houses, the good, bad and ugly, the friendly types, the neighborly types and so on, today I will be talking about funny experiences, memories and what take place in public houses.
I wasn't born with a silver spoon but my mum made sure we lacked nothing, that woman is one of the best on planet earth, when VCD player came out we would go hang on the neighbors windows, forming batman peeping just to get a glimpse of Chinese movies, my mum would catch us and cane the devil out of us, well me especially my brother was in boarding school, sometimes I'd prefer the neighbors food to ours because I felt theirs was cooked with more money but before they will let me eat they would have sent me on tons of errands I didn't mind at all I set my eyes on the price be it meat or bones.
I was a runt, stubborn as hell, I fought everyone but I was really small in size so I was nicknamed "Terrorist" we weren't many kids in the compound just the landlord's six kids, myself, the girl who lived with us {Ekwutus} and a girl who stayed with her uncle {The Womanizer}. I was the leader of this pack, I decided who's window we would go peep in to know if they were having sex, to know who was cheating on his girlfriend so we can tell the nice auntie when she comes loll, for a reward of course, I was so small that I was able to squeeze myself into the burglary proofs of windows to help neighbors who forgot their keys inside and sometimes I'd go back and tiff money, heheheeheh.

I hated those big uncles, they never minded their businesses, so I was a kid who had a crush {Williams} my mother is the strictest person I know, she had special canes for each offence, well one day she went out and I knew she wasn't going to be back till evening so I decided to invite dear crush over, I bathe wore a very short nicca, now I think of it what would we have done sef? Anyway those stupid uncles decided to come to the window and peep and saw me lying on Willy's legs and all hell broke loose, they beat the crap outta us, as in ehn, aunty philo was even worse, I had saved 300 naira to buy a jacket from her, and whenever I asked for the money or the jacket she would threaten to tell my mum about that day, the other uncles were satisfied with beating us but not aunty philo anyway she eventually told my mum and till today when I think about the midnight beating I received I still shudder loll, imagine my surprised when I saw aunty philo recently at an Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo event I covered memories came crashing down.
We had a neighbor who died of HIV then, we didn't know it was HIV we just assumed spiritual attack, so his wife took him from church to church, even TB Joshua but he wasn't attended to, the story back then was he slept with prostitutes got the disease, the wife contracted it and when she got pregnant the new baby got it also, the only person who didn't get it was the child they moved to Lagos with.

My first and only love letter was to my landlord's son Ifeanyi, I have never told anyone this, one minute we were friends the next minute he looked so handsome anyway he turned me down I was like a younger sister to him, today when I see him I dodge dude aint looking so fly no more.
I bath naked, stole, fought, peeped, blackmailed, got molested, ahan I broke into neighbors kitchen at night and ate their food, damn Bella you don really commit o, I think about these things now and laugh but back then it was survival of the smallest, and yes the girls touched themselves in the bathroom I touched especially when the koko started growing on our chests and when bier bier started showing.
What's your public yard experience, share we would love to have a laugh or cry over it.

I love working with paper mache but this type is a paper mache clay. It's called Celluclay and it's made by Activa. Here's a link to their web site: http://www.reuels.com/reuels/Activa_White_Celluclay_II.html
At one time I used their product for my design work and this is just one of the designs. I actually started wit a chunk of packing foam material that I think came with a new monitor. It was then covered with the Celluclay and when it was dry, I painted it with craft acrylic paints. I made three indentions in the top for the three candles; which are actually little clay pot trays.
The cute little Celluclay bowls were really fun to make. You can see that the one on the left has a crocheted wire embellishment on the outside and the one on the right has a crocheted thread embellisment on the inside. It also has little bone handles. I actually boiled my own chicken bones to use. I know that's weird but it's really done more than you think.
This guy is Celluclay over a cardboard box. I have to admit I went a little overboard with the rust medium but he doesn't look too bad. The face is a wood glue-on much like the medallions you can find at your craft store. I attached it to the box after the paper mache and had to use a caulking around the edge of the wood piece to fill in any gaps. He looks great out on your patio as would the first piece with the candles. Make sure you use a very good polyurathane varnish.

One or two days a week, three-quarters of the emergency rooms in Baltimore and the surrounding five counties are too full to accept more patients. They have put themselves on "yellow alert," forcing ambulances to travel farther. Dispatchers at the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems describe the alerts as increasingly common at the 24 hospitals that the medical service monitors.
Such crowding exists across the country. Yet patients in Maryland have an advantage over those in many other places where there is no regional command center.
Nationally, the logjam is severe, potentially endangering patients who must wait too long for care. "Everybody thinks that if they call 911, it's going to be fine. But we have a national crisis in emergency care," says Dr. Brent Eastman, a San Diego trauma surgeon who worked on a sweeping report released Wednesday by the Institute of Medicine, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences that advises on ways to improve health.

Career Center: Newly Self-Employed
Jaydra Perfetti, CFE
Paper Investigator Inc.
Portland, Oregon.
Jaydra Perfetti, CFE, founder of Paper Investigator Inc., discovered her passion for financial investigations and fraud detection as a tax compliance officer for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In this role, Perfetti led an investigative team to establish a case against an office of tax preparers who were preying on vulnerable communities in a scheme to defraud the federal government of more than $500,000. The civil penalty case she built against the lead tax preparer went through the appeals process where her findings were fully sustained. While working through this case and many others, she came to understand that, for her, investigation is as much art as it is science and as much intuition as it is technique.
At the beginning of this year, Perfetti decided to start her own private practice. "I eventually concluded that in order to have the impact I really want on the world, I would have to go out on my own and create it." As a new adventure looms before her, she is determined to stay true to what drew her to this profession in the first place — a desire to help make the world a better place.
I have been involved in the anti-fraud profession my whole career, which so far has been about 14 years. I started in customer service with the IRS, answering phone calls. Most people called to ask questions or check on the status of their refunds, but many people also called because they needed help resolving some kind of fraud situation. The stories ranged all over, from "my neighbor was bragging about how much money he makes and that he never pays taxes" to "my ex-spouse filed a tax return with me on it, got a big refund and I never saw any of it!"
It struck me just how much fraud was going on in the world, and I realized I was in a unique position to do something about it — I could make a real difference by helping these people. After a few years in customer service, I transferred to the examination division where I spent 10 years performing tax audits and conducting fraud investigations.
Fraud is often preventable — as long as you're paying attention. I used to feel resigned to the existence of fraud. I thought because criminals spend all day creating new ways to separate people from their money, there was no way for law enforcement to ever get ahead of it. I certainly felt, as a member of law enforcement, like I was always playing catch-up.
Then I joined the ACFE and discovered there are people in the world filling a critical third role. Not only are there criminals and crime fighters, there are also people actively fighting fraud before it happens. Thousands of people work day after day on prevention, setting up anti-fraud controls, educating people and organizations and creating fraud response plans. I knew prevention was important, but I hadn't realized how massive the prevention effort really is or how many people dedicate their professional lives to it. This revelation gave me hope and continues to inspire my work every day.
I am in private practice as a forensic accountant and investigator. My clients include individuals, businesses and nonprofits. My role includes everything from building the business and finding clients to planning investigations and projects, doing the actual investigative work and reporting on my findings. In many cases I also recreate accounting records and financial statements as they should have been generated in the first place. I am also the marketing department, the IT person and everything in between.
The parts of my job I most enjoy are helping people and solving mysteries. I come alive on the hunt for facts, and I love the feeling of triumph when I finally uncover the hidden truth. The most satisfying part of my work is explaining to my client what happened and how it occurred. I feel like I make a positive difference for people and organizations by bringing order out of the chaos, and I love to help in that way.
It started with the IRS, where I spent more than 13 years. The last 10 years there I spent doing tax audits, which included a lot of forensic accounting and fraud investigations. I have also spent the last 11 years volunteering for several nonprofits as a board treasurer.
A few years ago most of the government was put under a hiring freeze due to budget constraints, so opportunities to grow within my agency became nonexistent. I channeled my desire for new challenges and professional improvement through my volunteer work. I got to do wonderful things for some great organizations. Unfortunately, the federal budget continued to suffer, and fulfilling our mission became more and more challenging. I eventually concluded that in order to have the impact I really want on the world, I would have to go out on my own and create it.
Last year I studied for the CFE Exam and earned my credential in November. I got my private investigator license at the beginning of this year. After setting up my business, I left my job with the IRS to work for myself.
One of the projects I feel most proud about was an investigation I led into an office of tax preparers. The investigation started, like so many do, with a tip. My team and I followed the tip and audited a batch of tax returns all prepared by this office. We discovered a pattern — the same large credit was claimed by taxpayers who were clearly not eligible for it, and English was a second language for all the taxpayers.
Through our investigation, the scheme we uncovered was heart-wrenching. These tax preparers set up their business to target a particular ethnic minority group. They convinced their clients to file tax returns through them by promising it would look better on immigration forms. But the tax returns they filed included thousands of dollars of false credits, so these taxpayers received large refunds they were not entitled to. Since English was not their first language, these taxpayers could not see for themselves that what the preparers told them was on their tax return was not actually there.
The audits resulted in each family owing those false refunds back; an average balance due of $5,000 per year for three years. It was a devastating debt for families working hard and living from paycheck to paycheck. It was also a shocking betrayal by those they trusted. The tax preparers were members of the community as well as experts hired with the expectation to file a correct tax return.
The preparers collected their fees at the time the returns were prepared, so they were not affected by the balance their clients now owed for the refunds they should not have received. I successfully asserted a penalty for willful/reckless disregard of the tax law against the main preparer, and my findings were sustained on appeal. The penalty totaled $5,000 per year for every client. A clear and just consequence for someone holding themselves out as a trusted expert to a vulnerable demographic.
Documenting your entire investigative process is critical. We were so successful with our case because everyone on my team meticulously documented all findings from the very beginning of the case. You never know which small fact will turn out to be the linchpin, so it's best to document everything you discover and how you found it.
I have always dreamed of owning my own business and working for myself. I want to do great work that makes a difference in the world. Earning my CFE credential gave me the confidence and credibility to take the leap to open my own practice. When I say "I am a CFE," it leaves an impression and people take notice.
ACFE membership has taken my professional development to a new level. I have taken countless courses over the last 10 years on investigation methods, procedure and theories. Most courses have a dry or rote feel — even ones I enjoyed — but when I went to the ACFE Global Fraud Conference in June, I was blown away. There was such a wide variety of anti-fraud topics to choose from, and the presentations were fascinating. Each speaker had a thorough working understanding of the topics they presented, and they communicated that knowledge effectively. I was rapt from the first moment through the last session, and I came home with excellent new ideas and skills I put into my practice right away.
I enjoy partner social dancing. My favorites are contra, swing, blues, waltz and tango. Dancing is how my partner, Noah, and I met, and it's still one of our favorite activities we enjoy together.
I have also been training in a martial arts style called Mo Duk Pai for the last dozen years, which means "martial ethics method." It's a blended style with roots from a broad range of hard and soft styles focused on practical self-defense and developing the total martial artist (mind, body and spirit). I teach two days a week and enjoy sharing my passion with both youth and adult students.
Another of my passions is community building. I currently sit on the board of two nonprofits. I find it immensely satisfying to give back to my community and make positive changes for our members and those we serve.

It's Friday and it's a holiday, a long holiday. Thank goodness.
Having my parents, my sister and her two kids and their nanny came over last night just made us realize how small the apartment is. Keptus thinking how we can't wait to move in into our new little home.
Today seems very quiet. At least for now. Went swimming with hubby and Ja this morning and everyone is basically knackered. I just woke up from a nap and hubby and Ja is still asleep.
So I'm attempting to just enjoy the silence.
*takes a deep breath
I managed to spring clean my old and unfitted clothes-finally. I think I did it because the wardrobe is too small. No, wait, let me rephrase that. I have too many clothes in so little space. Yes, sounds better.
In parallel, I have been eyeing those super stylish Isabel Marant sneaker wedges, and I think I need to stock up on new tank tops and loose tops to pair with my leather leggings.
But for now, what I really need is to stock up on Ja's formula! Ha!
In the meantime, I hope you have a great long weekend.
Looking forward to date night tonight

DANIEL DAY-LEWIS— who raced in moccasins through the New World's forests in The Last of the Mohicans, and danced through swinging sixties London in platform shoes in In the Name of the Father—is limping awkwardly as he enters a midtown Manhattan hotel suite. Tilted haphazardly to the left as he tentatively moves forward, the sturdy actor plops down on a straight-back chair, breathes a sigh, and grins.
Day-Lewis's current plight, a herniated disc in his lower back, is the result of giving yet another movie his all. He spent two years training with Ireland's former featherweight boxing champ to become convincing for his role in The Boxer as IRA pugilist Danny Boy Flynn. And that was before he reteamed with Jim Sheridan—his director on My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father—for the grueling, seventeen-week Boxer shoot. Finally, once he was no longer actively training, the back gave out.
Day-Lewis, now forty years old, is legendary for his intense approach to his work. He spent five months carrying a primitive flint rifle to prepare for The Last of the Mohicans , and for his role as The Crucible's John Proctor, he spent weeks planting fields with primitive seventeenth-century tools. For his Best Actor Oscar-winning work as paralyzed Christy Brown in My Left Foot, his committment was so complete that he refused to walk on the set. As his Boxer co-star Emily Watson says, "I never met [the real] Daniel."
The real Day-Lewis can be equally difficult to locate during an interview. He steadfastly refuses to discuss his private life (once a target of tabloid scrutiny, he's now married to actress-director Rebecca Miller), and he initially seems a bit uncomfortable when asked about his unusual acting method. But it doesn't take long for the London-born thesp to open up and shed some light on the politics and history behind his films, his remarkable career, and the reasons he doesn't act like any other actor working today.
How did you hurt your back?
I had an injury while I was training. The time was very tight and I jumped in at lunch hour for a training session or whenever I could. On this one occasion I jumped in cold and just didn't warm up enough and I knew I'd done something but we managed to get through [the shoot] okay, although I was 'seized up' for a few days. I think it was something just waiting to go. [The current injury] just happened a few weeks ago [in early December].
In boxing, when you're fighting, there's a lot of stress on the lower back. If you're twisting and turning, if you over-reach on one occasion, all your weight goes over the lower back and it can quite easily go out.
Has surgery been recommended?
Possibly, but only a very small surgery. More than anything it's like a useless leg, but the pain is minimal. It was pretty bad for a while but the treatment's relieved it somewhat. It's just like a dead leg. Don't go into too many details. [Laughs.] I might not get insured for any [other films]!
Sheridan told me when he started The Boxer he didn't know what the ending was going to be.
We didn't have a clue. Or the beginning or the middle, come to think of it. We only knew the end about two weeks ago. Sheridan often begins filming without knowing how his films will end.
The Boxer is surprisingly critical of the IRA. Is this an anti-IRA movie?
It doesn't set out to be an anti-IRA film, although the effect may be to give people an understanding of a world which they feel very off-putting. Think of it more as a pro-peace movement film. The Irish Republican Army has gone through so many transformations over the years. There's still this great romantic ideal from 1916 that people hold onto, and it doesn't hold up under contemporary scrutiny. What we're looking at now is an organization that has got to transform itself if it's going to do any good at all. So maybe there could be an IRA, if they would only accept that acts of terrorism were not the way to go.
Britain's new Prime Minister, Tony Blair, recently hosted IRA leader Gerry Adams at a meeting at his residence on Downing Street, a development that would've been considered impossible a decade ago. How does that make you feel?
It's hard to remain optimistic about the situation in Northern Ireland, but I think one has an obligation to remain optimistic, even if it's a dulled optimism. But the fact is at the moment things are moving. That is largely due to the great efforts being made by the new British government - and I'm all in favor of that. And I haven't been in favor of British governments before Blair. Because how the hell when two armies, in effect, are entrenched and staring at each other over a parapet with hate and fear and bewilderment, how can you change that unless you enter with some open dialogue?
You're English, yet you have this image as an Irish patriot. Is this an accident of fate, or something you've cultivated?
I think it's a mixture of two things: part accident and part will. I am English and I've had an English education. I'm very proud of whichever part of me is Irish, but I am English. I grew up in England. My mother's family is from Latvia, for God's sake. It's not like I can claim to be an Irish thoroughbred, and I don't. I'm very proud to get an Irish passport because my father was Irish and I keep that and travel with it. Maybe there's a tradition there too, of people who are Anglo-Irish who have become acutely aware of the role the British have played and wish to do something to redress the balance. I live in the Republic and there's no battle to be fought there. But when I first came to Irish history—because it's not taught in the British educational system—I was so astonished at the part the British had played in the history of Ireland, and so ashamed in a certain sense. It made me feel a kind of kinship with the place. Not because I was Irish, but as a person reaching out across the sea in a way.
Talk about the pressure of coming to do a third film with Sheridan after the success of the first two.
The only way to survive is to have tunnel vision. There's even more pressure on Jim than on me, because of the money [$25 million] and the weight of the production. It's not the preconceived expectations, but the greatest stress was we started from the ground upwards, and the way we work relies on chaos. We hope order and some kind of sense will come out of it. The fact is, we were reworking and reworking the script until we finished shooting it. And then we went and shot some more. We had to find its borders and its boundaries. There was a good deal of stress involved in that. The important thing is to not have any hopes for the film. That's hard to do but I try to just do the work and see what happens. That applies to the other two films we did as well. I had no expectations off the other films, what came afterwards was just icing on the cake.
Your relationship with Sheridan is obviously close. Do you see it as father and son, or more a couple of brothers?
Quite a brotherly relationship, more rough-and-tumble than what would be between father and son. It's a more open relationship than what people would generally see as a father and son. Surrogate father, no. But certainly brothers in arms.
Your string of acclaimed collaborations with Sheridan has brought comparison with Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. How do you feel about that?
I think it's a mad comparison to make. If you look at the trajectory of work of those two—Raging Bull, New York, New York, Taxi Driver, GoodFellas, Casino, Cape Fear, King of Comedy—those guys, gosh, they have two handfuls of extraordinary films. Shay [his nickname for Sheridan] and I have just completed the third. Those two men are in a league of their own. It's crazy to make comparisons.
I just spoke with Robert Forster, who's been acting for thirty years now and is in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. For Forster, who you are is what is going to inform your characters. He says an actor only has himself to give. I thought then specifically of how you differ in your approach, where you transform yourself to become this other person. You've been doing this now for over a dozen years, starring in films that reach an international audience. Can you still really lose yourself in a role?
The fact is, it's weird. [Grimaces.] Although it's not like I consciously set out with a pre-formed idea that I'm going to become somebody else. It's more to do with an exchange of some kind that takes place, because I'm drawn towards a life for a period of time, which I find intriguing for one reason or another. It's not with the intention of undergoing a transformation. If any transformation takes place, it happens as a by-product of the work that goes on in an attempt to meet this person on their own ground. It's not that you just become someone else. That doesn't happen. Whatever finally takes place, it's bound to contain within it a large part of one's own internal mechanism, I suppose, as much as it does another. But I find it helpful to me at any rate to create the illusion—or delusion, whichever way you look at it—of occupying someone else's shoes in my work. That's where I find pleasure. But the idea of a total transformation is a little bit mythical. I don't necessarily believe in that. I love it when people feel that another life has been told them and it's not recognizably one's own. That's what my work is; I think that's where it lies. If I were just in the business of continually re-exploring my own sensibilities all the time, then I think I would lose interest that much quicker. But we're still one and the same person—it's the same engine, it's my desire that always draws me into that place. So it has to be my desire that propels me into discovering what goes on in that place. So finally, you could just say it's all you. [Laughs.] I've probably tried to say it before, and I don't know why I'm trying again, but I've never achieved any explanation that made any sense. [Laughs.]
I wonder if you ever say to yourself, "This is a new way of approaching a role. I'm not going to do like I did for that other film."
Again, the same rules never apply. There's no system or procedure whereby I go from A to B, where I've left one place for another.
For The Boxer you were in training for years before you really decided to do this movie weren't you?
I was in training for about two years, yeah.
That was long before there was an actual start date for the movie. Yet when you were doing interviews to promote The Crucible, you wouldn't confirm that you were going to actually make The Boxer.
I was in training for two years and for a large part of that time, I genuinely kidded myself that the film was fairly unlikely. Because wherever the truth might lie, I like to think I'm doing things for their own reasons. Somehow, if I place a film at the end of this tunnel, it's going to already make conscious the sense of illusion about it. So I begin at the outset saying, "This is me. I'm interested in this." Of course the fighting, the boxing and the training, all that stuff that goes on, that's just between me and whoever I'm doing it with. That had nothing to do, in the early stages, with Danny Boy Flynn. Later on, it became his fight and his game and his life. But in the initial stages it was just me being interested in that.
Any idea what you're going to do next?
Where is home for you? Is it England and Dublin and New York?
England, [just] for visits, because my family and a lot of my friends are still there. Home is more between Ireland and here.
You're forty. Do you have a feeling that you've hit your prime, that you know yourself better now?
It'd be strange to say yes, bearing in mind the intense battleground that was the filming of The Boxer. But in an overall sense, it's true. I have a far less troubled attitude toward the whole business. I know what I like and what I don't like about it and there's no sense worrying about it anymore. I'm clear about what I need to do and what I want to do and there's no sense losing any sleep over it.
Will you ever return to the stage?
Hard to say. I can't imagine it happening. Then again, it could.
You don't miss it at all?
No, I don't miss it at all. I thought I would, but then it never occurred to me that I wasn't going to do it again. Although a lot of people thought just because of the Hamlet episode [in 1989, Day-Lewis hallucinated about his late father during a performance, and walked off the stage] that this is some terrible dark secret in the closet. But it never seemed that way to me. I thought I'd just take a break for a while. Things just worked out differently. In my mind I thought I'd do some work in the theater again, but I'm not very well suited in temperament for the stage. I'm not really well suited to film work either. [Laughs.] Maybe you could suggest an alternative to both of those.

Skip to comments.Back in the day, Mickey Mouse attempted suicide and fought opium smugglers
Posted on 07/02/2012 2:01:02 PM PDT by DogByte6RER
Back in the day, Mickey Mouse attempted suicide and fought opium smugglers
Intrepid readers will remember that one time Mickey Mouse and Goofy espoused the salubrious effects of amphetamine-laced soft drinks.
The truth is, that helium-voiced cartoon rodent weathered many a dubiously family-friendly moment during his early years. Let's look at those occasions Mickey tried to kill himself and extolled the virtues of gigolos.
Perhaps the most bizarrely bleak Mickey adventure was the story arc that ran from October 8 to October 20, 1930. According to cartoonist Floyd Gottfredson, Walt Disney was inspired by the 1920 Harold Lloyd comedy Haunted Spooks, wherein the main character tries suicide and fails in a slapstick manner. In 1975, Gottfredson recalled the meeting where Disney pitched Mickey's grief-struck demise:
One that I'll never forget, and which I still don't understand was when he said, "Why don't you do a continuity of Mickey trying to commit suicide?"
So I said, "Walt! You're kidding!" He replied, "No, I'm not kidding. I think you could get a lot of funny stuff out of that." I said, "Gee whiz, Walt. I don't know. What do you think the Syndicate will think of it? What do you think the editors will think? And the readers?" He said, "I think it will be funny. Go ahead and do it." So I did, oh, maybe ten days of Mickey trying to commit suicide-jumping off bridges, trying to hang himself [...]
But strangely enough, the Syndicate didn't object. We didn't hear anything from the editors, and Walt said, "See? It was funny. I told you it would be."
Mickey eventually decides to live after some adorable woodland fauna convinces him not to hang himself. ("When I look into your smiling faces, I feel ashamed! It isn't such a bad old world after all! It took a squirrel to prove what a nut I was!") And lest we forget, Daisy Duck would take equally dire measures approximately 13 years later. This wasn't the only occasion Mickey bucked the hyper-sanitized image of modern Disney. A 1934 storyline saw his nemesis Pete moving opium ...
...whereas this strip had Mickey talking like David Lee Roth. (To be fair, the term had a much more genteel definition decades ago.)
Finally, there was this incident, where Mickey assaults a transvestite and barks an epithet that's euphemistic as all get out. Indeed, this all makes that Mickey Mouse gas mask from World War II the paragon of normalcy in comparison.
Gee. I thought "Peanuts" was depressing ...
When Mickey woke up in the bathtub of the Shanghai brothel, he discovered to his horror that it wasn't only his kidney that had been removed ...
Hence his unbearably high voice in the later cartoons ...
Wow. And all this time I thought Mickey left Minnie because she was...
Well lets just say it had something to do with Goofy.
LOL......yep. :)
"This is definitely Old Skool MM ... it is unfathomable to think of this billion dollar corporate mouse doing anything even resembling suicide by shotgun, getting Shanghaied by opium smugglers, promoting gigolos or kickiing the a$$ of a local transvestite."
Walt Disney was a tough guy, a good businesman, very smart, a perfectionist, a tireless worker, and a proud American.
About as far from the Disney of today as possible.
Remember how Brutus was always sexually harassing Olive Oyl? "How's about a little kiss, Olive" as he would man-handle her!
Smile. You beat me to the joke with the same punch line in my mind.
That was 'Bluto' ... Sheesh and what not ...
Oh yeah, it was Bluto! LOL! Where did I get Brutus?
Sometimes the character was called Brutus and sometimes Bluto.
Thanks for clearing that up, it actually was one of those things that was bugging me. Anyway, Popeye was such a great cartoon, clearly delineating the good buy from the bad guy and the good buy won every time!

Brochure printing can be a great way to promote your business or company. Brochures offer your customers (or potential customers) the ability to really see what your company is about, while showcasing your talents and successes. There are several different types of brochures that are commonly used: a trifold brochure, which is an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper folded into thirds, so there are six columns; a plain 8.5"x11" sheet (great as an item list or flier type brochure), and finally an 11"x17" folded in half to create a booklet (which can be a brochure or catalog). Brochure printing can take place in any of these formats or other specialty formats, and can be done on many different types of paper with different colors of inks for a customized touch.

Discovering Research Paper Topics on Yellow Fever: Useful Tips
What is Yellow Fever?
This viral disease affects the liver and kidneys—causing fatal complications. It can be spread by mosquitos and has much history over time.
How Can We Write About It?
When writing about Yellow Fever there are a few different approaches you can take. Yellow Fever is present in many areas of study, and therefore can be used in many types of papers. For instance, you could write a Literature paper including many literary accounts of the illness, or a History paper about the damaging historical truths of the disease, or even a scientific paper—about the spread of the fever. As you can see, there are many different approaches. The options are endless; these are just a few ideas to get you inspired! Below we have outline useful tips as to how you can discover your own research paper topic.

- Careful Planning
- Guided Execution
As we mentioned, there are many different approaches you can take to this topic. Consider whether you want to write a historical, literary, scientific, or other type of paper. Each of these paper types will call for different types of sources and approaches.
Think about what you find personally interesting—this will not only help you determine the aforementioned style/subject (history, literature, science, etc.), but it will also help you select the topic. It is important that the specific topic you go with is personally interesting. This will not only make for more passionate and intriguing writing on your part, holding the attentions' of your readers, but it will also keep you interested throughout the writing process.
In addition to personal interest, it is also key that the area of research you choose also has plenty of available research. Even if a topic is extremely intriguing it is a weak topic without support. Find a topic that has plenty of primary and secondary sources.
With your research and ideas you will want to make a plan. The best way to organize all of this information will be outline form. The outline will plan your introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion, most often using numerical and alphabetical organization.

1 Kings 18:20-22 (New American Standard Bible)
21Elijah came near to all the people and said, "(A)How long will you hesitate between two opinions? (B)If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.
When the prophet Elijah made that bold declaration on Mt. Carmel, it was in response to rampant idolatry and the rise of the false prophets of Baal. The effect of that declaration was God's destruction of 450 false prophets and the unquestionable reminder that He IS God (read the entire 18th chapter of 1 Kings for context).
In an age of rampant apostasy and heresy, we're faced (yet again) with that same juxtaposition – except some of the "alleged" prophets of God (pastors) are straddling the fence…just in case this "God thing" doesn't work out.
Check out this interesting article from the August 2008 edition of "Christianity Today" magazine (click the title to read the entire article):
Pastor jailed for using human head in occult ceremony.

Party of Brienne, Graf Orlock, and Miri arrive at the column of smoke. They scout around and behold the disgusting scene surrounding the Brain of the Swamp.
They attract the attention of some Swamptouched zombies and destroy them. Attempting to move in closer, they spy Zarr's Apparatus and awaken the Fenlord. As they battle the Fenlord, Orlock uncovers the Brain and blasts it until it erupts in a frothy pink shower, immediately killing all nearby Swamptouched. Not long afterward, the Fenlord falls as well.
The heroes investigate the Apparatus, notice the enormous Nulnbinnul spearhead, and realize that although it resembles a trebuchet, its purpose must be to drill down to release Zarr from his subterranean prison. They smash it it sufficiently to make it inoperable, and debate whether to activate it. Finally, they discover a furnace nearby, the source of the smoke, the area littered with several dead Swamptouched dwarves.

Every new album from Dar Williams represents her thoughts and feelings about both her own life and larger forces in the world. But her ninth studio record, Emerald, marks a particularly dramatic confluence between her experiences and broader contemporary cultureand what it means to be a songwriter at this moment in history.
In the past few years, Williams has been involved in a wide range of different efforts and projects: teaching a course titled "Music Movements in a Capitalist Democracy at her alma mater, Wesleyan University; working with children at several summer camps; leading songwriting workshops; getting involved with the workings of her village; and writing a book about the ways shes seen towns becoming more independent and prosperous over her twenty years of touring.
In addition, in the face of dramatic transformations in the music industry, she is releasing Emerald on her own after choosing to part ways with Razor & Tie, her label for almost twenty years. "Its like the record business is a giant building that collapsed, says Williams, "but when the building is destroyed, you get to see what remains. And this incredible structure of the music and the friendships that I have is all still there. Seeing that led to a decision to record songs with themes about relationships and connections I wanted to write songs for my friends and about my friends.
A scan of Emeralds credits reveals the strength of her bonds in the music community. Recorded in Nashville; Los Angeles; Philadelphia; Beacon, New York; and Weehawken, New Jersey, the album features a remarkable list of guest musicians and co-writers, including guitar virtuoso Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman of the Hooters, and Suzzy and Lucy Wainwright Roche. Even the song that set the album in motion was the result of a meeting of the minds. As Williams was preparing her Wesleyan course, she played a show at which she shared a bill with Jill Sobule.
"I told her about the era I was covering, says Williams, "and her incredible joy in talking about the 70s and the way that we loved music then was the beginning of the song FM Radio. When I started to write it, I immediately asked if she wanted to do a co-write. It was a lot of great conversations on the phone, one really fun day in New York City, and one really fun day in the studio.
Where her last album, 2011s In the Time of Gods, was an ambitious and evocative series of songs that melded the imagery and narratives of classical mythology with modern issues and themes, most of the inspiration on Emerald was concrete and immediate. She began writing "Mad River during the Occupy Wall Street actions, based on a real-life example of current economic dysfunction. "I heard about this guy who had a job at a school, lost the job, and then got it back because it had been outsourcedhe was stripped of benefits and getting half the pay for the same job, and he kind of went under, she says. "It was a recognition that were not in balance right now. But I also wanted it to have a feeling of brotherhood around this protagonist, so thats why I wanted Milk Carton Kids to play on it, because they bring that spirit, that brotherly sense of honor, into their music.
A cover of Joe Strummers rousing "Johnny Appleseed reflects Williams work planting gardens at summer camps, while "Girl of the World was the result of a trip to Honduras, where a friend of hers is making a documentary about the lives of some local young women. "I wrote a song for them that was very ballad-y, and thats on the record, but these girls love Taylor Swift, and I thought, I cant just do acoustic folk for these teenage girls!, " she says with a laugh. "One great thing about working on my own is that if I want to do my iteration of a Taylor Swift song, then theres no rule that says I cant. So I wrote and recorded something in Nashville with Angel Snow, and we all had to figure out where it livedin folk, in country, in popand in the end, we just did what we wanted and it sounds like a Dar song.
The final song she cut for the album is "New York Is a Harbor, a reflection on the city that looms largest in Americas imagination. There is something special about the feeling of a neighborhood, the feeling of things that are built locally. I think we all understand that moment when the local thing is turned into a commercial version of itself, she says. "New York is struggling; its just so precious that everybody wants it. Im not blaming one person or another, its just too expensivebut that doesnt mean we cant hold on to the ideal of the neighborhoods and the people who created them. "A lot of people have not given up on the positive diversity of incomes, mental wavelengths, and dreams in New York. Also, in light of the things going on in my town at the time, I wanted to reinvigorate the sense that people have power as storytellers and active citizens to keep that diversity alive.
If friendship and human connection lie at the heart of Emerald, Williams had to put these ideas to a very real test when she decided to crowd-fund the making of the album through Pledge Music. While it was an adjustment getting used to sharing as much as possible from the albums sessions with her fans and followers, she enjoyed the opportunities for interaction. "Pledge for me is like swimming in a pool, she says. "My fans are smarter than I am, I like being around them, so I said, 'Whatever you want me to do, Ill do it.' When we started thinking about, How do you want to fundraise for the album?, it was actually a very fun discussion. I heard that people want to know about the recording process. I had kind of forgotten the wonderful Alice in Wonderland feeling of first coming into the studio twenty years ago, and the Pledge campaign reminded me.
Its a cliché that the personal is the political, but for Dar Williams, there really is no separating her life from her worldview. And in the face of a shifting world, she is more aware than ever of the power this approach can create. "Im now experiencing the fruits of the alternative culture I was part of in the 90s, she says. "I think Ive made choices about how I lived my life, outside of the world that was going to fit me among the mainstream norms, and I chose to stay with my friends, to stay with my culture. "That turns out to have been the sturdiest structure I could have built for myself. And thats in my songs, its in my teaching. Im a believer in what can happen when we make music together.

How can blood clots and TV viewing time be connected? The type of blood clots we are talking about can kill you. They typically form in the lower legs of people who siting or lying down for a long time. Sitting and watching TV for a long time is a common way many of us are sedentary.
When sedentary, blood pools in the legs and sometimes this stagnant blood forms a clot. When such a clot forms in the deep thigh, it is called a deep vein thrombosis. Sometimes the clots that form inside the thigh veins break off from the wall of the artery, and are set free into the bloodstream.
If the clot travels to the lung, it can plug up blood vessels there, causing a typically severe chest pain of rapid onset, along with a serious shortness of breath, that gets worse with any activity. Cough can be severe, and some people cough bloody sputum.
Pulmonary embolism
This blood clot that travels into the lung is called a pulmonary embolism (PE), and a PE is fatal in about 1/3 of the people affected. There are good treatments; medications that thin the blood or dissolve the blood clots. Sometimes more aggressive treatment is needed, such as with a intra-vascular catheter to remove the clot.
A PE is not something you want to have, and Japanese researchers wanted to see if too much time watching TV could increase the risk. For 20 years, The Japanese Collaborative Cohort Study followed over 86,000 generally healthy adults age 40 and above. Each participant filled out questionnaires about their TV viewing habits, and their health was closely noted.
The results, just published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, showed a strong correlation between TV viewing time and rate of PE.
If a person spent, on average, between 2.5 and 5 hours per day watching TV, they suffered a 70% higher risk of dying from a PE compared with the person who watched less than 2.5 hours per day. Those people who reported over 5 hours of TV watching per day suffered a 250% higher risk of dying from PE compared with people that watched less than 2.5 hours.
The problem is not really the TV itself, but the fact that many people watching TV are mostly sedentary. They don't get up much, and the blood pools in their legs. Dr. Toru Shirakawa of Osaka University, the lead author of the study, advises that, while you are watching TV "Take breaks, stand up, walk around. Drinking water is also important."
We have previously reported on how inactivity and sitting for a prolonged periods gives you a much higher risk of obesity, and other health complications. Now we add the risk of a PE. Click on the link below to see more information how you can avoid problems from prolonged sitting.

Lupus has several forms:
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), discoid (scarring rash only), drug-induced, (and neonatal).
SLE affects women nine times more often than men. Lupus and systemic erythematosus (SLE) are chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys.
Classical lupus is easy to recognize: a young woman with fever, lymphadenopathy, butterfly rash, symmetrical small joint arthritis, alopecia (hair loss), pleuritic pain(sharp chest pain on breathing in), and proteinuria (protein in the urine).
However, most patients have symptoms in only one or two systems at onset; organ system involvement may develop over several years.
Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) follow three types of courses, chronic active, relapsing-remitting, and long-remitting.
The chronic active form is most common, accounting for about half of patient-years.
Blood tests may show certain antibodies.

I want to make very high quality mono voice recordings on my cassette deck which is a top of the line Pioneer cassette deck with a single 1/4 inch microphone input and the MIC INPUT is listed as 0.63mV. After I make a master cassette I take it to a studio for high speed duplication of copies. I went to a store who recommended your Shure SM57 stating it is the "studio standard." They sell lots of Shure mics. Do you agree this one would be my best bet or do you have an alternative suggestion? Also does Shure sell mic pre-amps if I buy a deck that doesn't have mic inputs. If not who does? And are these preamps or mixers as good as the ones built into the decks that have mic inputs?
Here are Shure's recommendations. If you are looking for a broadcast quality mic, consider the SM7B dynamic mic, formerly the SM7 or SM7A. It is indeed a standard for TV and radio voice over work. Or the Shure model KSM42 condenser mic, but it requires phantom power to operate.
If the SM7B or KSM42 is too expensive for your budget, then consider the Beta 58A; and next the SM58. Keep in mind that matching a mic to your voice is a personal decision. We strongly suggest you audition any mic before you buy.
For preamps, consider products offered by Grace.
