Demand for retail space in India growsThursday, May 16, 2013
Many global retailers are setting up stores in India despite slowing sales, drawn by the country's large young population and rising incomes, real estate consultancy CBRE said in a report on Friday.
Last year, 13 global retailers set up stores in New Delhi, compared with 51 in Hong Kong and 27 in Singapore, CBRE's Retail Hotspots in Asia Pacific report shows.
"International retailers from across the globe are slowly but surely looking at India as a mature and viable market to expand their business," Anshuman Magazine, chairman and managing director, CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd, said in a statement. "With the government permitting FDI (foreign direct investment) in multi-brand retail, we can expect more international retailers to seriously consider the growing consumer base here." (Also read: Retail industry overview)
India in September allowed up to 51% foreign investment in supermarkets and other multi-brand retail stores, subject to the approval of the state governments where the stores are to come up. New Delhi is among the 10 states that have so far allowed foreign retailers to set up stores.
According to the CBRE report, luxury and business retailers accounted for the highest portion (26%) of new store openings in the Asia-Pacific region in 2012, followed by mid-range fashion (18%), specialist clothing (13%), coffee and restaurant chains (13%), and value and denim stores (11%).
Retailers from the US set up 70 stores last year across the Asia-Pacific region. The region is expected to account for just under half of the world's total retail sales by 2016, CBRE said.

CD Reviews
Swing Jazz, R&B, Latin, Disco, and Cole Porter all in one!,
YUSUF LAMONT | NEW YORK, NEW YORK United States | 08/22/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is simply one of the finest albums of the 70's! I first heard it as an 8th grader in 1976 and remarkably, the music doesn't just hold up...but it actually seems to have gotten better since then. The bold mixture of styles (Swing Jazz, Disco, Latin, R&B) makes it an anomaly in popular music history...namely, a great achievement that absolutely could not be duplicated by others. As if the crisp, sweet arrangements, (remember those?) and hellified singing by one Miss Cory Daye were not enough, the hidden gem on this album is the witty and super-literate lyrics. August Darnell's wordplay on this album summons images of an uptown-ed Cole Porter, solidly bopping his way to the 2 and 4 without EVER risking his top hat's falling off. Cut for cut, this is one of the 70's great records. You won't skip a single selection. Great for driving, for getting dressed for a party, the party itself, walking down the street or cleaning the house on a Saturday afternoon as the dust fills random shafts of sunlight. And in a special note to all the new-jacks out there who are checking out the nuevo-swing scene: dig on this platter of wax from our bicentennial year of 76' and learn how this music can be done while sounding fresh and original! P.S. You'll note in an earlier review, someone mentions the two other great discs by this bunch. There's also a greatest hits album and a great lost album by Darnell called "Gichy Dan's Beechwood #9". It has the same flavor, but is notable as a transitional step to his assumption of the "Kid Creole" persona. It features the wonderful club semi-hit "Laissez Faire". If you see this album in a bin on vinyl, you'd better get it then and there! That's the only way TO get it, unfortunately!"
Timeless Music
June Evans | Pleasant hill, CA United States | 12/26/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I was a kid when this album came out and I loved it then and love it now. I have done everything to this cd in regards to using it for road trips and cleaning the house, all the while singing with my hairbrush near by as my microphone. It is one of the most positive vibes/music I have heard; happy, joyous feel-good music that gets better and better each time I play it."
Lemon in the Honey
FunkFor Now | Rockport, IN USA | 04/30/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Big-band disco, this is, although not as campy (or as bad) as that implies. In fact, this is the most listenable disco album I've heard this side of Chic. Their Cole Porter-inspired seductive sophistication is hard-won, and let me tell you, I've been seduced, listening to the damn thing at least once a week since I found it at a used record bin in Nashville for $[...] a year ago. Sluts and saints are celebrated, but the real heroes are the urban working class characters who find the courage to keep on dancing despite the hard times. Cory Daye is the most underrated singer to come out of the disco milieu: her vocals skirt the perils of diva hyper expressiveness with teasing, irony, wit and intelligence. The beats and arrangements are playful and fun, flirting with `40s nostalgia without wallowing in it. Principal writers (and musicians) Stony Browder and August Darnell (not to mention producer Sandy Linzer) keep it moving throughout; they allow only one arch vocal moment about mid-way through side 2, but have the good sense to pair it with their most attractive melody. And they close the album with a vibe-accented mover that keeps you believing there's always room to dance and to love no matter how close to the precipice you venture. There's lemon in the honey, all right."

Right On Crime is the one-stop source for conservative solutions for criminal justice reform.

Right on Crime | January 13, 2016
This article, written by Jorge Marin, originally appeared at Americans for Tax Reform on Tuesday, January 12, 2015.
Ahead of President Obama's final State of the Union Address, Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist called for further action on criminal justice reform. In a comment to the Coalition for Public Safety, of which ATR is a part of, Mr. Norquist stated:
"Decades of over-criminalization, over-regulation, and over-incarceration have done great harm to personal liberties and taxpayers. President Obama has one more year to reach out to Congress and act on legislation meant to roll back the encroachment of a prison system that has no signs of stopping its growth — even at the expense of public safety and hardworking taxpayers. Washington foot dragging has prevented solutions to problems like the abuse of the asset forfeiture system, and adequate intent protections for crimes, otherwise known as mens rea. Moreover, the unnecessary lengths of many drug sentences increase the risks of recidivism as they take up precious resources from law enforcement. Rather than waste billions in a broken and abusive system, it's time to do what's right for American taxpayers and public safety."
Both chambers are currently debating their own proposals to deal with prison reform, sentencing, and mens rea issues. All of these have the potential to save the taxpayer millions while adding to national safety. So far, there has been bi-partisan support for all of these efforts.
Republicans in Congress and in the states have proven to be leaders in all of these areas. Stalwarts like Representative Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R., Ia.) have each introduced legislation in their respective chambers to reform sentencing, while Goodlatte has overseen the introduction of a sweeping mens rea reform package—which ATR has endorsed.
After seven years of a lackluster and damaging presidency, President Obama has an opportunity to work with Republicans on an issue of vital importance to public safety. Hopefully, this final State of the Union will avoid partisan attacks and create common ground to pass substantive conservative justice reform.
RIGHT ON CRIME is a national campaign to promote successful, conservative solutions on American criminal justice policy—reforming the system to ensure public safety, shrink government, and save taxpayers money. By sharing research and policy ideas and mobilizing strong conservative voices, we work to raise awareness of the growing support for effective reforms within the conservative movement. We are transforming the debate on criminal justice in America.

Surflink™ Media Streamer
Consumer: Creating New Revenue Streams
This wireless accessory improves the home entertainment experience for hearing aid users and their loved ones.
Surflink™ is the first media streamer to connect directly with the user's hearing aid instead of complicated Bluetooth pairing or superfluous body-worn streaming accessories. Starkey developed this capability based on our consumer and audiologist research that showed a media streamer was the most desired wireless hearing aid accessory. Starkey saw an opportunity to perfect this product category with a device that used its proprietary technology to stream audio directly from a TV, stereo, or MP3 player to a hearing aid. Karten Design was challenged to create a device that reflected the simplicity of Starkey's technology throughout the user experience.
We focused on making the device incredibly easy to use. A simple, gesture-controlled interface gives users maximum control over the streaming experience and provides an ergonomic solution for older users. The Surflink™ Media Streamer has not only provided Starkey with a new revenue stream, but has also shifted the paradigm for hearing aid accessories. Unlike other media devices for the hearing impaired, the Surflink™ streamer has a sculptural, minimal form and pristine finish, making it something that users would feel comfortable displaying in their homes, much like a piece of high-end stereo equipment or a thin flat-panel television. Through its design, the Surflink™ Media Streamer further reduces the stigma of hearing aids.

If you're hankering for some amazing burgers and fries in DC, head on over to the Chinatown metro station and next to the Verizon Center, where you'll find Fuddruckers in DC, which has some of the juiciest and most tender burgers in the area, served with buttery, delicious scratch-baked buns. Apparently, one of the reasons their burger buns are so good is that they are baked fresh on a daily basis. When you place your order, you get your choice of 1/3 lb., 2/3 lb., and 1 lb. patties grilled to your preference with topping options of bacon, cheese, sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions and guacamole. After picking up your order from a special window, you can top off your burger at the toppings bar and customize it exactly the way you want. (Pickles are recommended.)
One of the great options this burger joint offers is its exotics burgers. They offer lean cuts of Buffalo (Bison), Elk and Wild Boar. These burgers are free-range, natural, antibiotic and hormone-free game burgers. Not only is bison meat lower in fat than beef and lower in cholesterol than chicken, it tastes great. As a matter of fact, a recent study in a nutrition publication found that replacing beef with bison results in less clogged arteries and risk of heart disease. Although these exotic burgers are pricier than standard beef, it's nice to have these excellent options.
Fuddrucker fries are standard wedge-cut fries with your choice of chili and cheese toppings. They also offer onion rings. There is nothing that really stands out about the fries or sides, but you don't come to a place dubbed "World's Greatest Hamburger" for the fries. And of course, every premium burger joint must offer shakes. The shakes are good overall, coming in standard flavors. Additionally, Fuddruckers also has a bakery that offers fresh baked cookies, brownies and pies. We must say, the bakery is a nice touch, and it's appealing to have these dessert options after enjoying a hearty meal.
Overall, the restaurant has a homey, casual and comfortable environment to enjoy your food. It doesn't have the trendiest atmosphere compared to some of these newer premium burger joints, but combined with their great burgers and bakery, it has a unique ambiance that is conducive to relaxing and tending to your appetite. The location in Chinatown, DC is also great. You can take in all the sights of downtown DC, catch a ball game, or just come for the food.

Art is a sharing of the soul that is not to be taken lightly. Each creative act has its own risk and reward. And the ratio is never predictable.
So why do we keep at it?
As a lone painter, a dance group, a production company, a species – why do we keep going back to the fire? I don't think there's a single answer, one that applies to all those who create. But, based on my own experience, I feel it's a question worth examining. Continue reading For the Love of Art

Negotiating boundaries in a marriage may be overwhelming at first. You might not be aware of what kind of boundaries you should build, or what the significance of a boundary is for marriage. However, Jane Collingwood reports on "PsychCentral" that setting clear personal boundaries in a relationship will ensure it is mutually respectful, caring and supportive. Talking with your spouse about a few key issues will help ensure you both know what to expect from one another.
Discuss Confidentiality
Emphasize the importance of keeping important issues between the two of you. Julie Baumgardner reports on "First Things First" that talking to other people about things you have not discussed with each other can be hazardous to your marriage's health. Instead, discuss why you want important subjects to stay between the two of you, instead of being spread to outside parties. Doing so demonstrates love and mutual respect as well as promotes trust in the marriage.
Reflect on the Importance of Honesty
Talk to each other about how important honesty is to each of you in order to build a healthy boundary in your relationship. Keeping even a small, seemingly inconsequential truth from your spouse can lead to deterioration of your marriage, say Henry Cloud and John Townsend, authors of "Boundaries in Marriage: Understanding the Choices That Make or Break Loving Relationships." Being open with one another not only promotes intimacy, but integrity as well. Let your spouse know that she does not have to be afraid to tell you the truth, and that she can feel confident knowing you will respect what she has to tell you.
Analyze the Significance of Fidelity
Bring up fidelity when learning to prioritize the boundaries in your marriage. Faithfulness in your relationship will promote safety and trust, and cheating on your spouse is a huge violation of boundaries, Cloud and Townsend say. However, not every married couple subscribes to these particular marriage values. You may be alright with the idea of an open relationship, and your spouse may also prefer this. Talk to your spouse about what would happen if you found out he was cheating. Letting him know that you will not put up with any sort of infidelity unless an open relationship is agreed on will help clarify your standards and define your priorities.
Emphasize Forgiveness
Be honest with each other about the necessity of forgiveness in your relationship. Neither you nor your spouse is perfect, and you will undoubtedly do something that offends your significant other in the course of your marriage. However, it may be difficult to forgive your partner if he does something that you do not see yourself as able to overcome. Let your spouse know what you would forgive and what might be very difficult for you to let go of-- for example, being cheated on-- and explain why.

In the wake of the "Buddhists" Vs Akon incident, another storm is brewing around the SLC World Cup Mascot and Ticket launch event to be held at the Colombo Hilton on Good Friday (02/04/2010). The event is tagged a 'Tamasha', which I had to look up, and apparently is a Urdu word for 'show' or 'spectacle'. Well you learn something new everyday, I guess. Here are some very creative excerpts from the letters written to The Daily Mirror;
"We therefore request the President to intervene as he is the only one who can and has the power, capability, leadership and understanding to cancel this event as he did in the Akon show. After all does not the UPFA depend a lot on the Catholic and Christian votes?
I would like to request all those decent men and women who have been invited to this tamasha on Good Friday to show their protest by boycotting the event which is not about promoting the world cup but about boosting the egos of some individuals who are basking in political patronage. I appeal to our Buddhist friends who have also been invited to boycott the event.
Sadly today cricket is no more the gentleman's game and is no longer run by the white man. Cricket is today run by the black new rich Asians and the game has fallen to appalling levels. Just look at the Indian IPL and the number of times the four letter word beginning with F is used when bowlers take a wicket.
Now Sri Lanka is being dictated to by these new rich black Asians and some people running Sri Lanka Cricket have become slaves to them.
The Island reports that the event will be going ahead as planned.
There's nothing else to say but as watch these good people get their knickers in a twist. It has become a well enjoyed past time of Sri Lankans now, might as well enjoy the show.
[Thanks to Raj for bringing this to our attention and for posting the news article]

Many couples are questioning the wisdom of raising children at this time in our history.
Some feel pressure, and some aren't ready. A reader just sent me this:
"Beth: This irritates me. Do some woman exaggerate their love of children so they'll seem more perfect? Everyone says women are supposed to love kids and if they love kids, they are better people and better at being a woman. My friend swoons over kids so much that it nauseates me. I think it's part show or she is trying to make me feel bad because I don't want any. I know she likes kids and wants them. But I bet she likes to show off her love for kids at parties so people see what a great mother she'll be. Like she is advertising. Or am I being cynical?"
Signed, Tired of it!
Dear Tired:
I was told at 19 I couldn't have kids. Either God has a tremendous sense of humor, or had other ideas. I've had a hand in raising a lot of kids. First batch were stepkids ages 8, 11, & 15. Then came a passel of part time kids – OPK (other people's kids) in trouble. Their parents dropped them off at Auntie Beth's house to straighten them out. I would have them live with me, talk with them, teach them, help them understand discipline and self-respect, then send them back to their parents.
I got a full time family when I married again. These were 4 year old twins, a 6 year old, and a 9 year old. It wasn't easy, but it was a wonderful "growth experience" as my mom says.
My youngest just gave birth to her second baby girl ( I'm so in love with those little girls… so do you think I'm overdoing it?) At any rate, we're talking decades of parenting here.
So – in answer to your question – yes, some women have a higher oxytocin level when it comes to kids. Oxytocin (not oxycontin) is a naturally occurring neuropeptide that the brain emits in various doses so that mothers will take care of their young. These women really, truly, DO love kids. The good feelings you have when you're with your girlfriends or your sweetheart come from oxytocin, and both men and women get a surge of this during sex. Oxytocin plus endorphins are partly where the "afterglow" comes from.
My unscientific guess is there are women who don't fit this prototype: those who kill their young, neglect them, leave them in a dumpster, or just act bizarre with kids – walking around with a baby like it's a sack of potatoes under an arm. These women probably don't have as much oxytocin or their neuropeptide receptors aren't working. Sometimes the receptors just haven't kicked in yet, which might be what's happening with you.
I was resigned to not having kids. Not a problem, I come from a large family, and felt we
had contributed to the overpopulation of the planet. I didn't give it another thought. Didn't have any yearnings that I was aware of. And got the same discrimination other childless women talk about. I know who I am, so I really didn't take it to heart. Any judgment by others is just a reflection of their own issues. When one finger points out, three point back at us.
Then, at 30, I got a taste of what was to come.
Then, at 30, I got a taste of what was to come. My brother and his wife visited me with their 2-year old. I volunteered to watch the boy while they spent a much-needed weekend alone. In the middle of the night my nephew fell out of bed. He was down the hall in a room with the door closed. I was up and standing next to him BEFORE I was consciously awake. My protective mommy hormones had kicked in. I sat on the bed, pulled him into my arms, and cuddled him till he stopped crying. It came naturally. No thought to it at all.
Then the weirdest thing happened. I started noticing little kids. I would talk with them on the airplane, in waiting rooms, in stores. Something in my brain had shifted. Not long after, I fell in love. He had kids. I didn't mind at all. Previously I had rejected any men who had kids. NO WAY! Now, it was OK with me. I didn't seek it out, but when it showed up, I accepted the situation along with him.
Kids are hard. And they are the best thing you'll ever do. But they aren't for everyone, and I agree that a lot more people shouldn't have them if they already know they don't want them. It takes guts to admit you aren't parenting material. It takes courage to give a child away to people who are parenting material.
I would leave your friend be. Ask yourself why it bugs you so much. Why does this bring out so much cynicism? The answer lies inside you … Her actions are no judgment about your choices. She probably gets a good hit from being around little ones. Or she's showing off… who cares? If I were at a party with a bunch of cynical people, or saw kids being ignored, I might go and play with the kids… They are the most honest people you'll ever meet. if they don't like you, what you are wearing, what you just said, how you say one thing and do another — they'll let you know. It's quite humbling.
"People" don't think anything. There is no such entity as "people." We're individuals – each with our own identity and thoughts. Many of us are guilty of putting our own prejudices and fears into little bubbles above other people's heads. In the old days, when someone asked me why I didn't have kids, I would smile sweetly and say, "I can't!" then walk away before they could lay any of their issues on me. It doesn't matter if "I can't" because I have a medical issue, I'm on birth control, or I think I might try and return them to the hospital after a week. The answer, if that's my reality, is "I can't!"
Take a deep breath. Ignore her the next time she does this. She may be really shy and can't talk with grownups, she may want kids badly and her clock is ticking, she may feel she can't compete with all the grownup chatter. She may be a psycho. Who knows? Who cares? Really. Sit back and ask yourself, "What's in it for me to be this upset about this particular situation?" It's a great growth opportunity for you!
Take care,
PS: Readers – what advice do YOU have for "Tired?"

When most people think of fantasy shows on The CW they think of Supernatural, the network's long-running, fan-favorite series. However, the Winchester brothers aren't the only ones dealing with mysterous forces anymore. The network's latest summer drama, The Outpost, is bringing its own take on the genre in action-packed adventure with some serious Game of Thrones vibes to boot.

Pat Williams, general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, theorized last week that his team had a better chance than the Lakers of stopping the Boston Celtics because it was more physical.
So what happened when the Denver Nuggets picked an all-cheap shot team the other day? Two Lakers got a call, and nary a 76er was picked.
The team: Maurice Lucas of the Lakers, Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer of Detroit, Ricky Sobers of Seattle, and a three-way tie among Jeff Ruland of Washington, Marc Iavoroni of Utah and Steve Johnson of San Antonio. Lucas, a unanimous choice, was named captain.
Among the second-stringers was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
"Kareem's not dirty, but he throws one of the worst elbows in the league when he gets mad," one of the Nuggets told Buddy Martin of the Denver Post. "And the worst thing he does that they never call is when he comes across the lane and you put your body against him, he hooks you with his elbow."

Mr. Tram's Diary: Day 3

Why would you post it if you intended to actively question why anyone would read it?Delete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2014 at 6:58 AM
Why am I reading it? Good question. I guess I was hoping to see what happened at your practicum that made you feel as though you were being treated unfairly. Is the part where you were unfairly removed coming up... is this a big lead up to it?? So far, I'd say Mr. Tram is well within his rights to have concerns.Delete
In a previous post, I asked why your CT felt he was unable to approach you with criticism, to which you responded something about letting Mr. Tram tell the story.
Does he go back in his diary and explain the original altercation/communication that he had with you which, obviously, has concerned him?
Your leaving out critical information. WHAT made him feel he couldn't approach you? WHAT happened BEFORE the diary entries began?
This is Mr. Tram's story, not mine. So if you are disturbed that anyone is leaving out "critical information", you complaint is not with me, but Mr. Tram. Perhaps the incident you're concerned about was so traumatic that Mr. Tram was unable to bring himself to put it down on paper.Delete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2014 at 9:19 AM
That was the weakest response you have ever given. Yeah. Okay. I guess I am upset with Tram. Your an idiot. Obviously you were there... why don't you just spill the beans? Yeah, yeah... Its Mr. Trams (out of context) story you are sharing...Delete
Is it possible that Tram only started recording his information AFTER the 'incident?' Its like starting a novel on page 150... it won't make sense to your readers. I give up. You just don't make any sense....
If you think that Mr. Tram's diary "doesn't make sense", you are entitled to your opinion. I'm not going to argue with you on that point. But it made plenty of sense to the Faculty of Education when they relied on it to remove me from the practicum. And unlike you, the Department did not think it necessary to first demand that I "spill the beans" and tell my side of the story.Delete

Marriage Mondays: Marriage Supermodels
Today's Marriage Monday is a series of interviews I did with some lovely friends of mine. I asked a bunch of girlfriends, all of whom are in very different stages in their dating/relationship lives, some questions about marriage role models. I am really excited to share their responses with you. I also "participated" in the interview, and will be posting my own answers last. I'll also be making an exciting announcement in my post! I'm excited to share with you these smart, interesting women's take on marital role models and how they weigh in on our own marriages. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together! And please, feel free to answer the interview questions yourself in the comments! I'd love to hear more views on this topic! : )

Oh and speaking of role models, sometimes, when the model is too good, we feel that it's not even worth trying to follow it. Bad examples do at least leave us room for improvement.
- AnonymousAugust 1, 2011 at 3:57 PM
This is a great series! I think we, as people, can learn a lot from each other through honest conversations like this.ReplyDelete
2. What is your marital status? (If you are married, please tell me how long you've been married.)
Married! For one year today!
3. Growing up, what was your view of marriage?
I think I had a pretty good view of it when I was a child, at the time when most of my parents' friends and the parents of my friends were married. I don't think it ever soured, per say, but as I got older I saw a lot more divorce, broken homes, etc. I remember once in high school when I realized that I was only one out of two kids in my large group of friends whose parents were still married to each other.
4. Do you feel like you have strong role models for marriage in your life? My parents, definitely. They've been married for 25 years, and their relationship isn't perfect- which is why I think they are such good role models. They work through things, work together, and do what needs doing. When they were newly married (maybe two years in) they went to therapy, and I think that's awesome- that they were willing to do that.
4a. If yes, how do you feel like they affect your marriage?
I think they showed me some things I definitely want to do in my marriage (travel, share finances, split chores) and some things that I don't want to do- like fight exactly like them. (Lindi still says I'm acting like my dad sometimes when we argue. Le sigh.)
4b. If no, is/was this a concern for you? Do you wish you had better marriage role models?
5. Do you think having positive marriage role models is important to a successful marriage? Why or why not?
I think it is important and preferred, but I don't think that people without good role models are doomed to failure or anything. I mostly just think it helps. :)

Who's down for a #foodfriday?
We were all about it in room 118.
In fact, we had been reading a poem about pancakes all week long in preparation!
I stumbled upon this book again recently (oldie, but goodie).
After rereading it, I knew I had to use it to review making inferences.
If you haven't read this book, it is a wordless picture book.
Beyond perfect for using those text clues + schema to make inferences!
As I read, I had 4 spots throughout the book where my firsties stopped to record their inferences.
Once we finished reading, we went back a second time to share our inferences as we read.
It was also fun to have them help me come up with words to the book!
So...who reads a book about making pancakes without actually making them?!?!
Psshhh NOT this teacher.
We broke out the pancake mix, syrup and griddle and went to cooking!
They admired my cooking for a few minutes and then I sent them off to work on yet, another, pancake project while I resumed cooking 30 pancakes!
Searching for words was their task.
This past nine weeks we taught silent e and bossy r words.
They had to find one word for each pattern.
Once they found all 10 words, they make a short stack of pancakes with their words.
And to top it all off, we ate these heavenly puppies right up!

Post subject: CAT's
I have my beds prepared and ready for planting at the end of the month and the two cats next door are tearing them up already, I'm dreading what they will do when the plants start comming up. I have a fence around the plot to keep my dog out but the cats can scale the 5ft wall between the houuses with ease.
Any suggestions or ideas which dosent involve felineacide.

I see advertisements for electronic gadgets which emit sounds humans can't hear, but which repel animals. Worth investigating?
I once read that old teabags with a couple of drops of Olbas Oil on them keep cats away as they hate the smell. I'm not sure how many of those you would need though!
I've used Eucalyptus essential oil on furniture that my cat started sharpening her claws on, and it worked a treat. She never went near it again. So there may be some value in the Olbas Oil idea.
I think you can also get a gadget that will send out a spray of water when it senses movement....and cats hate water.

1) Orange peel around the place is said to deter them
2) They don't like wet or even damp soil (sadly slugs do so it's a trade off)
3) Put lengths of holly prunings between your plants (or any other prickly stuff you have)
4) Keep a water pistol to hand & squirt them every chance you get
5) Top your fences off with
trellis, with holes too small for them to get through (they don't like to walk on wobbly surfaces)
6) If you see them, open your eyes wide & hiss whilst walking towards them (apparently this is cat body langusge for 'puss off'!)
7) Resort to felineacide!
Good Luck

first post on here, so hello everyone!
I've used fishing net laid over the bed and just plant in the spaces, other people have already suggested gorse, briars or twigs sticking up,
I actually had one of the buggers crapping in my cloch a few winters ago as the soil was nice and dry - teach me to leave it open a bit!

My 2 cats were confirmed toilet tray users, until I started gardening. Now, any newly bared soil and they are in. So I am using a mixture of chicken wire and rose bush prunings on my pots, these can come off once the flowers are established. On the veg beds, I am using mulches of cardboard, seaweed, leafmould, etc on bare soil. Then once sprouting has started, I put a layer of seaweed between rows and that frost fleecy stuff over the whole lot. Its a pain, but I'd rather take every precaution!

Or this:
My vision for the small space is function mixed with fun and lots of color. We are using the Ikea Expedit in white as a console type of table. It's a really great storage piece and you can't beat the price tag. I had also envisioned maximizing some of the wall space and adding hooks to one of the walls (sort of like the photo above). My thought with the hooks was that each of my family members would have a hook. To personalize the area to house the hooks, I had also thought about doing some sort of monogram to identify each hook. I picked up two sets of the Leksvik hooks from Ikea (again, can't beat the $4.99 price tag for two hooks) and spray painted them teal (I picked up the can of spray paint from Lowe's). Here is what the hooks look like now:
My husband also suggested spray painting the screws as well. But I thought, how am I going to do that without getting my hands all messy with spray paint? Well folks, my husband is a genius. Who knew that using an empty box of pasta would double as a makeshift canvas for spray painting screws? Just punched each screw through the box and sprayed away!
So there is my quick update to the Leksvik hooks. I plan to mount them with some sort of monogram on top of each one. I was thinking about maybe a few of these from Anthropologie:
Or maybe doing some sort of DIY project that would involve a look like this:
A few other accessories I plan on adding to the entryway - one of these baskets but I got mine at Homegoods for a fraction of the PB price:
And a tray similar to this one that we can throw keys, mail, change, jewelry, etc.:
I love me some orange zig zag and fresh flowers.
If anyone has any other entryway storage ideas, I'd love to hear them.
PS - Is anyone hooked on Pinterest as much as I am? Goodness gracious it's addicting!

Still the best way to get fireworks that I have ever used is to set the shutter on Bulb and hold a black card over the lens, pulling it away with each burst. After three or four, advance to a new frame. Of course you must have a tripod and a good clear view of the fireworks.

My old pocket camera has a Scene setting for fireworks, so I'm guessing many of the newer cameras do, too. I've never used that setting; I should give it a try. Really nice photos, Tom! Definitely something to be happy about :-)

Just a thought for Tom, to add to TJ's suggestion. Using the timer in your camera to take the photo, instead of your finger, will also help eliminate any camera movement. It's great in combination with a tripod. I bought a remote control device for my first digital SLR. Those work well, too.
{Photography.29.1003}: TJ {tj2} Sun, 21 Sep 2014 13:20:00 CDT (6 lines)
Yeah, I neglected to mention that. I use a remote switch connected physically to the camera, but there are also infrared remotes available depending on your camera. In their absence, the old self timer technique usually works wonders, and I think all cameras today have them. On mine I can also lock up the mirror to prevent the vibration from the mirror slapping up to make the exposure.

Madonna wearing Haring jacket 1984.
Happy 54th Birthday Keith Haring! May 4, 1958. Year of The Dog.
Madonna in her influential 1991 film, Truth or Dare, discussing her friend Keith Haring and giving a Holiday performance.
Her speech/prayer and the tears in that scene always get to me a little. It's such a genuinely vulnerable moment. On a lighter note, that avatar's making me dizzy lol.ReplyDelete
and my world is spinning, spinning baby out of control...
rip keith.
Rest in peace Keith. You were a part of the Madonna we all know and love.ReplyDelete
nice Performance of madonna . nice quote of Keith Haring .ReplyDelete

OK, many apologies for long absence from this place: just too many other things happening which demanded urgent attention, mainly to do with my dear elderly mum-in-law's health breaking down over the past two months, necessitating many, many hospital visits and general rushing around. She is now in a lovely nursing home and not doing too badly, all things considered.
But I don't want to dwell on that side of things in this blog, which is a place to escape to where I can think about happy, creative things over which I might have some small amount of control. And I do want to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2017, where you get all your quilt tops finished promptly and don't find your stash encroaching into all corners of your living space or your clothes always covered in stray threads...
So, in view of these thoughts and my best wishes for you, no surprises for guessing what my own New Year resolutions might be. I am not sure I will make much progress on achieving them in 2017, or ever, but if I don't set goals I have no way of assessing whether I have achieved anything at all when I look back. And this blog is so helpful in this respect: even just looking at my last two posts, I am astounded that I actually managed to sew anything at all as recently as October - it seems aeons ago that I spent any time at my sewing machine!
Nonetheless, I do have a finish to share with you this 1st January, though more thanks to my longarming friend Chris who kindly returned the top I delivered to her (mentioned in this post) beautifully quilted with a swirly feather design and ready for binding.
I wanted to give the quilt to a very good friend who was visiting us after Christmas, so having spent most of the festive season in the kitchen, cooking and clearing up, I found myself late on the evening before her visit stitching on the binding. I didn't quite get it finished in time so we agreed I would deliver the completed quilt before the end of January, to give me a bit of leeway as I still have all the kids at home and we are definitely not yet back to normal after the holidays.
So my first New Year resolution I guess I can say I have kept: I finished handstitching the binding this afternoon, and the quilt will be packed up and hand delivered to London well before the end of the month - hooray!
My friend has already seen and said she liked the quilt so I am able to post these pictures, taken outside on a very dull grey afternoon, just before it started to rain. So hard to get enough light at this time of year for photos, and I hate the yellow cast I always get with flash. Guess I should learn a bit more about photography to be able to correct that, but there always seem to be other things to do...
Here are a few close ups to show some of the scrappy fabrics used, including a few novelties. I never consciously choose to buy novelty fabrics nowadays so not quite sure how they end up in my scrap bag: one of life's little mysteries, but a nice one in a fun quilt like this!
Dalmatians and strawberries.
Debbie Mumm flowerpots from long ago and a variety of stars.
Hearts, and Amish buggies in the border (above) and gingerbread men (below).
Must away to play a game with my quilt holder and his sister: they are all grown up but still enjoy a game, and it is still Christmas-tide - reality doesn't really start till Twelfth Night when we take the Christmas tree down.
Hope you enjoy whatever holidays you have left with your loved ones, and snuggling up in a cosy quilt too.

Tantric Topology
It what has to be my most bizarre and disturbing mathematical thought so far, I spent a good twenty minutes today in the Sexuality section of my local Borders puzzling over an illustrated copy of the Kama Sutra. After enduring many embarrassed glances from other shoppers and a few accusatory stares of employees, I satisfied myself that topologically speaking, there is really only one position, since all can be smoothly transformed into any other.

Expanding on what you said, if the Kama Sutra illustrations get applied to Knot Theory, I might be able to understand those concepts a bit better. ;) Knot Theory, anyway ;)

NORTH YARMOUTH — The town's silver bullet recycling containers will be moved to the parking lot of the town office the week of Oct. 12 in what is hoped will be a money-saving measure.
The Board of Selectmen approved the move at its Sept. 16 meeting, according to Robert Wood, who serves both on the board and on the town's Pay to Throw Committee. The containers have been at the fire barn, and the move to the town office is intended to reduce their use, Wood said, and in turn save transportation costs of $1,000 per month, since there would be less material to transport.
The containers duplicate the town's weekly curbside trash pickup. Wood said elimination of the containers is being explored, too.
"If people consider it a good enough service for the town to pay for, then we would keep it on a reduced level," he said. "In North Yarmouth, if you take your … recyclables down the driveway, it doesn't cost anything extra, because we're already paying for that service. But every time we fill up a silver bullet, it costs us $80 for the truck driver to take it into town."
If recyclables can be redirected to the curbside program, the town will save money, Wood added.
The new container site will be for North Yarmouth residents and businesses only. A survey of 122 silver bullet users, conducted by volunteers and encouraged by the Board of Selectmen a month ago, determined that about 10 percent of users were not residents and that about six businesses use the site. While the majority used the containers and curbside recycling, many said they lacked sufficient information about curbside recycling, Wood said.
Information about curbside recycling is available on the town's Web site, northyarmouth.org, or by calling 829-3705.

Art for Spastics v. 137 (platoon w/ Fuzzbox Flynn)
Once again, I was so busy at the office that I was forced to come late to my own radio show. But again DJ Fuzzbox Flynn filled in for the first hour until 1:00 when I took over. Flynn's selections are in italics. That's the last time I'll be late on account of work until the thick of next year's legislative season. Also, here's some news…"Art for Spastics" is moving from Monday nights at 12 midnight to 2:00 a.m. to the much saner hour of 10:00 p.m. 'til midnight on Wednesdays. That goes into effect next week, so if you listen live at 90.3 FM in the Davis and Sacramento area (or if you stream the show live at http://www.kdvs.org/), remember!

I thought I knew all there was to know about God's Gift until this week thanks to the sleuthwork of Jack from Volt and Pollymaggoo Records in France. Interest has been brewing recently about that. I learned of their 1980 four-song 12" EP and 1982 7" by accident thumbing through records in the cavernous KDVS library, and I was riveted by their relentless deadpan bleating and extreme Englishness. I've recommended the band over the years to fans of the most skeletal moments of early Fall records and drier material by Country Teasers. Last week, we went searching for connections to the band, and although nothing's turned up yet, we have learned that there are others who remember them fondly.
We just learned that they had a debut 7" called These Days which pre-dates the 12", and Jack said that the sax on the B-side "as frightening as the Brainbombs' Dan Raberg's wailing trumpet." We've also learned that they had a full-length cassette album (Folie Á Quatre) and appeared on a compilation double-cassette alongside such names as Bauhaus, Death in June, Nico, and Test Department. We'll be getting a chance to hear songs from the debut and the cassette soon. But even if one Belgian writer does not mention God's Gift in a potential forthcoming New Hormones label feature for the Record Collector, interest in the band should continue to grow. Chuck Warner of Hyped2Death has pegged them as a must-find band for his awesome archival label's Messthetics series, and with any luck, they might appear on Messthetics #104 or #105, which Chuck promises to include "substantially odder/more primitive" material than what we've enjoyed on 100-103. I can hardly wait to hear those! Certainly the oddest track on the brand-new Messthetics #103 compilation is this sorta medley of negatively-charged extreme Englishness by Lester & the Brew, so as soon as I could get to the KDVS studios from my busy office (yes, I was working 'til midnight again!), I had to drop this on you.
More mainstream media discovery of the Neil Hamburger phenomenon and his increasingly Koppel-sounding (and not-as-funny) soundbytes on basic cable interview shows has us longtime fans pining for his comedy gold of old. It seems that the question still persists as to whether Neil might have been a masked member of Faxed Head, the enigmatic band whose first release was this 7" record with its sleeve embossed with a map of central California starring the much-maligned stinkhole of a town called Coalinga, situated at the halfway point of the boring I-5 drive from Sacto to Los Angeles. It's best known by anyone who's passed through the area as the place with a giant Harris Ranch stockyard fulla cows standing shoulder-to-shoulder in their own shit with nary a blade of munchable grass in sight. Someone came up with the clever name of "Cowschvitz" to describe the agony of this landmark which is most irritatingly at least twice the nose-sore as it is an eye-sore.
The town is actually a few miles west of the freeway and considerably less rife with the smell of manure and slaughter, but to outsiders, the stench is often the only thing that Coalinga is known for. But to fans of Faxed Head, it's the cradle of the band's bizarre and hilarious mythology. The 7" included liner notes on very realistic Coalinga Chamber of Commerce letterhead which described a tale of teenaged fast-food employees whose failed suicide pact left each youngster horribly misfigured. The record was supposedly the result of these wretched boys winning a Chamber-sponsored "battle of the bands" event where the top prize was free studio time with talented recording professionals in San Francisco. That the sounds of this record were so awful was because the panel of judges could not bring themselves to vote against a band of severely disabled youth. The band persisted to violate rules of good taste with the same schtick for almost a decade, releasing a few full-length albums, but to a dedicated core of fans, this schtick never got old. I still laugh when I follow along with the lyric sheets today! The tug-of-war between their Coalinga civic pride and their extreme shame of their hometown is as exciting a stalemate to dissect as there ever was, and there's plenty of seemingly in-jokes about co-workers and schoolmates in Coalinga to make you feel like a town insider.
I saw the band once at Old Ironsides in Sacramento, and now I realize how lucky I was to see them. It's probably the funniest show I've ever seen. As members would simulate epileptic seizures, naughtily-attired nurses would administer serum to keep the show going. The band rarely ever played live at home (presumably San Francisco, as the band had always been rumored to include members of the Zip Code Rapists and/or Mr. Bungle) or away. This early Faxed Head including the schizo blackened march tune--"The Colors of Coalinga"--had a claptrap junkiness to it which was quite a bit dumbed down from either possible parent-band, and it almost made the myth in those liner notes seem almost believable. And it's not as if Coalinga isn't already plausible as the scene of a teen suicide pact. The place is really that depressing!
By its own virtuous claptrap junkiness, the first and only 7" of Doppleganger Squid [sic] fits in perfectly at this time. Little is known about this band, especially now that the only non-AFS-related Google-search result that mentioned the band has disappeared from the internet. But I think that they were from a part of North Carolina that was at least semi-rural. When I first heard this in 1994 on Todd Urick's "Hometown Atrocities" show, as the cruddy drums began bashing, I remember thinking that I was hearing some lost late-70's tapes of Chrome. I always wanted my own drumkit to sound like that. Except for certain inept 80's teen HC/thrash and maybe the first Cure album, I don't think any band played so confidently on ultra-cheap equipment, as if to say very brazenly that "We spent $199 on a new drumkit, and we think it sounds awesome!" But even as fried and blown-out as the vocals and guitars sound, Doppleganger Squid soon broke away from the Chrome mold and took their scruffy psych-punk flirtatiously toward the ubiquitous mid-90's pop-punk. But hold the cheese! The Squid were more than tasteful enough to do so whether they were creating snappy, scrappy foot-tap'n melodies or noodling into weirdpunk territory. This is a great record that sadly never got noticed, so raid the dollar bins of North Carolina if you can!
Come to think of it, Doppleganger Squid's probably been on my mind subconsciously since last month when Tyvek seared their way into my forever memory with their unique blend of infectious melody and the almost Tampaxian weird. The Squid's one of the few that bear any sorta analogy to the sounds of Tyvek on tour with the added damage of crazed wah-wizard Dr. Teet. A few people around here have been talking about how seeing Tyvek makes them wanna start a new band. Get to it! Footage from their "Franco-American Friendship Tour" with Cheveu is just starting to hit YouTube, and this footage from Tyvek's performance at 21 Grand in Oakland doesn't approach the greatness of the many highpoints I saw--they were fraught with guitar amp frustration, and underpowered P.A., and lab-like room dynamics--but this is still probably better than any show you've seen recently...
Columbus, Ohio, is becoming the center of my rock universe again in 2007. Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and Gaunt aren't back together or anything, but on the heels of last year's ruling Psychedelic Horseshit 7", Times New Viking's second Siltbreeze album earlier this year reaffirmed that they are one of today's most exciting bands; and now Columbus Discount Records is about to drop three awesome new 7" EPs next week, including this one by a group of previous unknowns called El Jesus de Magico which makes its second straight appearance. Last week, we also heard the new Necropolis and Night of Pleasure, too. All three records are overdriven fuzzblasts steeped in the righteous traditions of all the great Columbus bands since the days when the Electric Eels were exiled there from Cleveland, including every Jim Shepard, Mike Rep, and Ron House vehicle. They all get my highest recommendations, but El Jesus de Magico is the nastiest and most laid-back of the three new Columbus Discount EP's. It's perfect for this weather. The only thing you can do when it's 100°F with a broken A/C is to lay on the floor and blast this record.
Their awesome "Fast Metabolism" tour CDR (which I believe is still gonna be pressed up on vinyl for fiends of great taste) is downloadable here...
More pump-priming for the upcoming west coast tour of Little Claw with Times New Viking...Here's an epic scuzz-pummeller by Little Claw which will beat you into submission before carrying your pulpy head off on fuzzy cloud of feedback as Kilynn coos a little lullabye. The rendering of "Ice Age" is raw and nasty, but not loathsome in the least. Another great song by these faves!
The A-side of the brand-new New Flesh single is a writhing punisher more like the the songs on their second album Vessel than the debut Parasite, but it is also rawer and nastier production-wise...nearly as much as the one-sided 7" from last summer with the vocals of Robert Inhuman of Realicide, so that should suit some of you better than ever, especially if you wanted to believe my Brainbombs comparison that I dropped on these guys back in 2005. Next week, we're gonna hear some real pain from Legless, a New Flesh-related noise project with a new 3" CDR on the same label.
I realize now that this Silver Daggers cut was spinning too fast at 45 RPM, but it's probably not of much consequence as it comes off more like incidental instro music, perfect for DJs to talk over. It's preceded by a live recording at The Smell which I'm sure we'll hear soon. Still, this split 7" of two of my utmost favorite current bands (can't wait to see the Shearing Pinx here in Sacto on Saturday!) is absolutely worth tracking down, as is their New High and Ord LP and CD on Load Records, which is surely a sharp stunner.
Next, we get really free on this B-side of the new single from Louisville, Kentucky's Crappy Nightmareville, which has an ensemble cast of musicians including at least one name I recognize from a Sapat record. The A-side is not so much for my tastes, as it's a circus-like waltzy composed number that I didn't finish before I flipped it. But the B-side is some wonderfully ominous brooding. I am gonna go back to side A...it's just that I was late getting here from work, remember? Still, as a group of what I assume are basically rock musicians with long hair doing something kinda like free jazz, this rates way, way up there just on the strength of "Black Beam Dub" alone.
Another band I'm excited to see at the Shearing Pinx show at Fools Foundation on Saturday, June 30, is Ettrick, San Francisco's duo of Jacob Heule and Jay Korber, two amazing sorcerers of free/blackened/death/jazz. Not Not Fun has just issued their debut vinyl LP, and it is a scorcher, and unlike their other recent CDR releases featuring mostly protracted epic-length live-recorded improvs, this album of eight pieces is a great way for less patient listeners to get acquainted with Ettrick in bite-size doses that are immediately impactful. "Raven Harvest" is the most definitive Ettrick moment on this LP, as it might be the only song wherein each member alternately dons drummer and sax assassin hats.
Deep Jew have never sounded as song-like as in the first minute or so of this song from their contribution to the Bored Fortress split 7" club series. Those actual structured chord progressions are but the inviting candy shell that cracks off to reveal a violent center that detonates like a bomb in your face. Consult your maxillofacial reconstructive surgical specialist after playing with this one! Year two of Bored Fortress has been gnarly! Not a dud side yet!
Here's a picture-disc 7" single of very formidable (certainly albumworthy) outtakes by the UK's Aufgehoben from the sessions that resulted in their most recent on Holy Mountain. Their use of guitar and percussive-sounding electronics make bring to mind a freer Sightings. Where I've not had the stamina to make it through their four albums, this appetizer serving does have me salivating. I think I'm gonna go back in.
Kitty Midwife is Shoosha from Portland who makes sample-rich jams of corruptive fuckery with the playfulness of a kitten unraveling a yarnball. We've recently heard a lot of her on AFS, including her candlewax-dripped collab 3" with former Sacto sweetheart Lala, her Animal Writes project with Dan from Shitty Vibe Smasher and James Squeaky a.k.a. Argumentix, and her solo debut under her original name Squid Baby. This is for fans of never-static noise, and it's rather unique for its brightness of attitude and hyper-texturalism. This belongs on a vinyl LP, I think. I excerpted it here because I was running low on time, but the whole thing is immensely listenable from start to finish for something so anti-musical.
Vankmen is Sacto gabbernoise like I never knew existed here until I finally heard on this, the third compilation in the Fruit Will Rot series which unleashes NINE THREE-INCH CDR's in each edition. We also hear the excruciating Realicide from this ambitious set which also features Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Beach Balls, Unicorn Hard-on, The Toilet, Eustachian, Nero's Day at Disneyland, and Tik///Tik. This is certainly the most punishment in one package that Deathbomb Arc has ever meted out. Taking it all in at once is like eating a giant bag of individually wrapped candies, but not like the ones they sell at Safeway...more like the ones they sell at CostCo. Remember back in the 80's when every October, you'd hear the TV news warning parents of Halloween candies spiked with drugs? This compilation is like that CostCo bag of candies, spiked with drugs. The fruit will rot 'cos you'll eat nothing but candy until your heart explodes. Which is to say that this is great! Would you believe that these particular track selections are two of the least relentless songs in the entire set? Be warned!
Next up is the Factums like you've never heard them before on AFS. I've played this Seattle band on several shows in the past two years, but I've always favored their songs over their experimental interludes. But on this CDR, it's all interludes, and they've never pulled the free-ramble jam(un)rock off better than this. Indeed, the "rock" is almost completely outta the equation here. Some tracks are more organic sounding, while others recall minimal synth oddities 35-45 years ago. You might hafta ask the band at their MySpace how you can get a copy of this...I dunno. It doesn't even have a name, but you can tell them that it's in a white envelope with an insect xeroxed onto it, and it has 12 songs on it. You can also wait for the band to release some records. Yes, it's finally gonna happen. Siltbreeze will do it stateside, and Pollymaggoo in France. That's two different records.
At last, I get to gush about my favorite brand-new band in the world, the Blank Dogs, who I understand is actually just a one-man project of Mike from the DC Snipers. This is from the 7" on HoZac which you should hurry to get before quantities dry up and legend of Mike's ingenuity spreads. Dig into AFS v. 136 and you'll hear another from this 7" plus another awesome song from The First Two Weeks 12" EP, which has six songs that were literally conceptualized, perfected, and recorded within 14 days of Mike getting the idea that he should do this side-project thing. That sounds like it could be bad...a record made like that, right? But I guess when you've got that great a handle on how to make a catchy pop melody and a rare sensibility that allows you to twist it into some sorta otherworldly psychedelic new wave without making it discernable as a great pop song. You hear some Twinkeyz here, some Second Layer there, and maybe some of the more songlike songs of Throbbing Gristle, but on each record, the Blank Dogs sacrifice none of their own identity.
Mike also apparently has this side-side-project thing called Teeth, and the one song so far sounds very promising, too...
Finally, here's another old nugget of French punk/new wave from the early 80's that was seldom heard in areas of the world where people pigheadedly wanna hear things only in English. Les Provisoires made an LP in the mid-80's that I wasn't too hot about...kinda cool, but a little too produced, and a little too smooth. Little did I know that they made this early EP a couple years earlier which was as intractable, raw, and brutish a postpunk record as you will hear. I never suspected that these guys had this in them. Thank you, Jack, for bringing this to my attention.
Remember that you won't be seeing my playlist for AFS v. 138 next week until Thursday morning because my showtime is moving.
Thanks for listening!

All Films.All Above Board.NOW INCLUDES TV SHOWS & TV LISTINGS
Heartwarming comedy centred on two life-long friends who take rivarly to extremes and end up forgetting what Christmas is really about. Colin and Howard are in their 30s, both happily married and living on the same street. But despite their grown-up responsibilities, they're still locked in a schoolboy obsession with outdoing each other. Once it was football, girls and clothes; now they compete over cars, jobs and even Christmas decorations on their homes. As they take their latest competition to extremes, they become oblivious to the damage wreaked on their marriages and their lives. Can anything bring them to their senses?
