After some research, I found out that I could make finger paint by using a few tablespoons of light corn syrup mixed with a few drops of food coloring.

Bites of chicken breast with sweet mango are delicious by themselves, but add a low-calorie creamy carrot ginger dressing with fresh greens and you'll have an irresistible chicken salad.
It's definitely spring. The birds in my feeders are working double-time for soon to be offspring, the squirrels won't leave the bird feeders alone storing up for their babies, and Mike and I are enjoying the entertainment as we watch the critters squabble over food while we eat our chicken salads.
A few weeks back I was inspired by a light carrot ginger salad dressing I found on the Food Network and had to give it a try with a few adaptations to reduce the sugar. I was intrigued by a dressing that used carrots as the base to give it a creamy texture, and I wasn't disappointed.
But since slurping salad dressing without the salad is probably not nutritionally sound, I decided to add chunks of chicken breast (need that boost of protein), along with cubes of sweet, ripe mango.
Romaine and slivered almonds give this creamy chicken salad texture and crunch, making it one of my all-time favorite salads to make. It was super easy to pull together with leftover chicken breast from the previous night's dinner, and that spicy carrot ginger dressing gave this simple salad loads of flavor.
You could easily swap the chicken for leftover turkey, pork or shrimp, so if you don't have chicken on hand use what you have in your frig. Try chickpeas if you want a meat-free meal, they'd be awesome too. This is a salad recipe you could easily adapt to your taste buds. In fact, when strawberry season arrives, you can bet I'll be making this chicken salad again!

Currently when you go into Best Buy and you're shopping the printer aisle, the tags focus strictly on the printer and the features. I feel like Best Buy should make all printers go to the longer fact tags with the options and in the options area put the compatible standard capacity and/or high capacity ink/toner (if space allows) catridges that are carried in-store that are compatible with the diplayed printer.
Here's where this is super helpful. When customers compare printers, one of the things customers care about most is ink cost. Currently, you have to pull each of the boxes to get the cartridge numbers and run over to the next aisle and get the prices. It would be so much easier to have the prices listed right there next to the printer price on the side. This would also be more efficient than trying to scan the QR code and pulling it up thru the BBY.com app.
Would anyone else like to see this as a reality? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
Who else would like to see such signage in our stores? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
To whom it may concern,
I think I speak for thousands of Best Buy employees and customers across the United States/Canada who depend upon Best Buy for our gaming necessities. As a best buy employee I even found enthusiasm in offering Gamers Club Unlocked to my customers. We as a community of enthusiasts implore Best Buy to re-institute Gamers Club Unlocked or an updated membership with similar benefits. Without this membership to unite gamers to Best Buy, I see no link to keep gaming customers purchasing from Best Buy. Thank you.
I merged all of these ideas into the first idea on this since they were all one version of the same idea of bringing back the Gamers Club Unlocked program in one way or another. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. At this time we will not be bringing back our Gamers Club Unlocked program. Current members can continue to receive their benefits until their membership expires.
I'm sure this is the case most of the time, but I do believe this idea has been proposed in the past. Would anyone else like to see us do this. Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
I would like to see automatic subscriptions not be a thing with Best Buy.
I purchased a new computer for myself 12 months ago. In the shopping cart I removed Webroot (which was free).
In May I purchased a new computer for my father. This time I didn't remove Webroot. When I to my fathers place I tossed Webroot in the garbage. I set up my fathers computer. I did not activate Webroot. I did not register Webroot.
During checkout it does show Webroot Internet Security + Antivirus 2018 (3-Device) (6 Month Subscription)
Last month I received a notice from my Best Buy Credit card that I was charged for a renewal on my Webroot subscription.
Nowhere along the line did I agree to a subscription. Further it should not have even activated.
You can go into your account and remove the subscription. But you should not have to.
What I would like for this suggestion is
Best Buy does not Automatically enroll you in a subscription.
During checkout you should have to check a box to enable Automatic renewal.
I hear where you are coming from on this, but at this time we will not be getting rid of automatic subscriptions.
I think Best Buy should fix their phone systems. As I live 41 miles from the nearest Best Buy, I depend on calling them before I get there to ensure what I am looking for is there. Here, IF you call the California, Natomas Store, you get the Elk Grove store, and in turn, they transfer you to the Natomas store. Per conversation from the associates, the Elk Grove associates are generally busy, and do not have time to answer the phones, and are even worse at transferring calls. IF you call the Chico store, you get the Redding store. I have talked to the California, Natomas, Assistant Manager, Trevor. He states this is a normal operation for their stores, and if you want to talk to the Natomas store, when you call it, you need to use and extension number. NONE OF THE EXTENSION NUMBERS ARE POSTED. How hard would it be to add a que to say, if you want the Natomas store hit extension..XXXX? Nothing is impossible, and I am sure it would require a minor tweak to the phone systems if they are already pre-integrated.
Thanks for the suggestion. I can assure you we are always working on ways to improve our phone system.
I would like to see Best Buy copy the program they have up in Canada at FutureShop for video game steelbooks. It would be great to get more exclusive video game steelbooks as pre-order bonuses. Best Buy here in the USA does offer steelbooks for video games but it is only on rare occassions.
FutureShop's Video Game Steelbook Program
Upcoming Steelbooks from FutureShop
Lightning Returns Final Fantasy Xiii
I did finally hear back on this one and we will not be moving forward with this idea.
Searching for monitors can be a daunting task when there's over 300 of them and I had someone looking for a USB Type-C -based monitor and realized that under the filters there is no filter for USB Type-C/Thunderbolt 3 -based monitors. Is there a way to update this section? I know at a minimum the LG Ultra Fine's should be under there but if you didn't know about these before-hand you have to wonder how many sales/customers Best Buy has walked on these? And most major OEM's flagship devices support USB Type-C from Surfaces to Chromebooks to MacBooks.
Would anyone else like to see us add this filter for monitors on BestBuy.com? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
What items are in stock at a specific store really depends on many factors, and I can promise you we are always working to make sure all the needs of each customer are met at their local store.
At the cost of annoying some, I'd like to see something implemented into the website where on certain items, say the SNES classic, you have to input a captcha code, or have a code sent to your phone to verify that it is indeed you who want to purchase it. That way you thwart automated bots and give those who really want the item a fair chance to do so.
Although I already have the SNES Classic, I am open to feedback about this from other fellow shoppers and Best Buy staff.
I just discovered that there is no option in bestbuy "my accounts" section where I can load up my physical bestbuy gift cards like how Amazon provides. It would be a great feature to provide this option to the end users so that they get full benefit out of it as below:
I feel this is a very convenient feature if added for end users that have large number of physical cards. An option to think about.
Last I heard back on this idea I was told they are looking into this. Given I have not heard back since on this I would assume we have decided not to move on with this idea at this time.
I'm pretty sure this has been suggested in the past. We are most likely not going to stop putting stickers on items we sell, but I guess it would be possible we could use removable adhesive. Would anyone else have any thoughts on this? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
a growing number of companies are offering various discounts e.g. senior citizen, veterans, etc. Understand senior citizens don't necessarily need discounts, but an Active Duty and Veteran discount would probable draw more customers and therefore more profit while helping us!
As far as I know we do not plan on adding a Veteran discount benefit at this time, but I would like to hear from others on this idea. Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
I think these are reasonable things to add to the current unlocked membership program. Shouldn't cost Best Buy much to implement and gives a little bit more reason to join.
Why cant I load my gift cards into my account so that I always have a balance to use vs. having to ensure that I have the cards with me when I travel. You are missing out on HUGE opportunity. I just used Amazon instead of Best Buy for this very reason. I was able to go right to my balance without having th physical card. GET INTO THIS CENTURY PLEASE!! IT IS A REAL TURN OFF TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOUR STORE.
You aren't the first customer to make this suggestion, and I have to agree with you here. Would anyone else like to see this as an option? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
I've noticed that there's been a large focus on used games & there's been several @gamer coupons for used games that have resulted in good deals. But the problem for many is that their local stores don't have a large selection of used games which makes the coupons "useless". Also, when there's deals like buy 2 get 1 free on all used games or buy any used game $30 or more get a free Unlocked membership these are also not enticing if there's little to no game to buy. BestBuy is new to the used game market but if your gonna compete with Gamestop in their backyard you gotta provide the same services.
There are quite a few games that could be added to this promotion. These are just some ideas. Granted, not all of them are going to come out this year but at least five are going to for sure.
The Order 1886
Uncharted 4
Kingdom Hearts 3
Metal Gear Solid 5
Borderlands The Handsome Collection
Just Cause 3
The Division
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Forza Motorsport 6
Quantum Break
The gaming team does review these requests, but I should say that it is not exclusively up to us as to what titles become part of this promotion, and often times it is up to the developer as to which titles become part of this promotion. Thanks for all the input on this idea.
The 24/7 Elite customer service line is not helping anyone and only frustrating customers The line is limited to My Best Buy program questions only, which include the following as stated;
* Points Balance
* Reward History (Last 5+ transactions)
* Certificate Status
* Attach Missing Points
* Points needed to next certificate
* Spend needed to reach next tier level
Who has urgent questions about points balances, certificate status or spending amounts at 3:00am in the morning? All of these issues can be resolved during the day. The forums and moderators are already an excellent option to resolve anything related to these issues.
If keeping the 24/7 hotline and spending resources to maintain it then make it worthwhile so customers really appreciate it. Time sensitive items such as; Price Matching (we do shop at 3am in the morning!), questions on products or shipping/order status inquiries should be accessible.
If not able to provide help for these issues then get rid of the whole thing and replace it with a new perk that is actually usable to customers.
I'm not sure maybe I'm wrong. I would like to see if there are any figures showing how many customers have been helped by the 24/7 hotline. I'm assuming it is very costly to keep up such a service. I would hate hotline reps losing their position but move them to something else or give them access to resolve issues that really matter and/or are time sensitive.
I truly hear where you are coming from on this, and I am curious if other Elite Plus members would like to see the services this team expanded? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.
Most other websites will tell you exactly in what city/store an open-box or floor model, etc. item is located. On bestbuy.com this is not the case. You have to randomly guess zip codes and cities, and maybe you'll get lucky and find the city/store where the item is located. This takes too much valuable time. It gets even more tedious and annoying when you want to check several different brands of the item. My brother travels a lot. He can pick up the item for me, but I can't tell him where it's located unless I spend all day trying to find which stores have the item. As stated previously, I have to search random zip codes or city names and cross my fingers. Ugh!
Please change this ASAP! Even Sears will tell you where the open-box/floor model item is located. You can do better than this Best Buy.
Would anyone else like to see us change how to search for open-box items on BestBuy.com? Make sure to vote for an idea if you like it.

I was amazed to see Dragon Heir reach the Comic Spotlight page today here on Smackjeeves. It made me very happy and I want to thank whoever made it happen!
I hope you're all enjoying the story - I can't believe we've reached the end of the first arc already. From next week it'll be onto issue 6 of the comic - as it was originally printed, haha - so it'll look a little different ^_^

Like father, like son. Femi Kuti is the undisputed inheritor of the genius of Nigerian Afro-beat superstar Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. His version of Afro-beat is the most exciting sound to emerge from Nigeria for years, borrowing the best elements from his father's powerfully polyrhythmic prototype of funk, jazz, and a sound that took James Brown's beat back to Africa.There is enormous interest around Femi in 2007, in that it is 10 Years since his fathers death and it is 200 years since the abolition of slavery, an issue that Femi is very outspoken on.The Definitive Collection: Femi Kuti (Wrasse) draws on all 3 of Femi's albums including tracks from the rare first self titled album, with stunning tracks Wonder Wonder and Survival. Also included is his duet with Rachid Taha singing the haunting Ala Jalkoum and a remake of one of Fela's favorites Water No Get Enemy which was on the Red Hot and Riot tribute album. This is coupled with a limited edition bonus CD of 10 of the finest mixes of all things Femi Kuti.For a complete listing of Femi Kuti's touring schedule, please check out the World Music Concerts section of the Global Rhythm website.

Frundsberg Festival in Mindelheim
Frundsbergfest Mindelheim
29.06 – 08.07.2018 (the event is held every three years)
Mindelheim (Unterallgäu, Bavaria state)
The Event
Mindelheim is located about 90 km west of the Bavarian capital of Munich. Every three years, since 1853, the people of Mindelheim have held celebrations to commemorate a great family of knights who, coming from Schwaz in Tyrol, took over the town and domination of Mindelheim in 1467 and determined the destiny of this region in the very heart of Swabia for more than 100 years.
Georg von Frundsberg, to whom the Festival is dedicated, was born in 1473. He started his career as a mercenary with the newly created infantry, known as the "Landsknechte", gaining his first experiences during the Swiss Wars in 1499. Leading the mercenaries in several battles and conquests, he managed to gain fame for himself and the "Landsknechte", and was considered by his troops "Father of the Mercenaries". For centuries Frundsberg remained a lasting memory in the Landsknechts' tunes and tales, in countless portraits, songs and novels. All this brought him a well-earned position as a memorable – and durable – German historical figure.
With time, the Frundsberg Festival has become one of the largest historical festivals in Germany. In the midst of the picturesque atmosphere of the medieval town center, around 2.500 participants relive their history along with 200 horses, more than 30 carriages and cannonry. For a short period of time, they all do return to life: Emperors and kings, lords and ladies, townspeople and merchants, craftsmen and peasants, beggars and jugglers, the famous Landsknechte (mercenaries) with their Tross (camp followers) and last but not least, Georg von Frundsberg himself.
The Programme
Please contact the Organizers for confirmation and further details.

I'd just got over the thrill of seeing a feature on contemporary stained glass on Design Sponge a couple of weeks ago, and now here is Apartment Therapy trumpeting it as the new cool thing to have in your home. And not only that, one of the featured shops on Etsy last week was Bespoke Glass, interesting geometric glass items made using the copperfoil technique.
Move over, wobbly ceramics*, there's a new kid in town.

Firefox è un web browser open source di Mozilla. Il pacchetto di Firefox in Arch Linux è compilato in maniera indipendente dalla distribuzione ufficiale. Infatti sia l'icona (il pianeta..) che il nome sono diversi dal nome e dal logo ufficiale di Firefox. Questo perchè è possibile distribuire firefox ,con il suo nome e il suo logo, a condizione che non siano state fatte modifiche non ufficiali (ad es. patch personalizzate).

Abilitare il Firefox Branding
Per attivare i vari marchi o cambiare l'user agent ci sono diversi modi. È possibile ricompilare, modificare il browser con le estensioni o utilizzare configurazioni avanzate. Nota che distrubuire una versione del genere potrebbe essere illegale!
The following procedure is for the 2.x version of Firefox. A branded version of Firefox 3.0.1-2 is available via AUR here. We will use ABS to rebuild Firefox. Make sure you have cvsup and wget installed. Now run
If this is your first time running abs it may take a while. Subsequent runs will be much faster. Before you make any custom package you should run abs. Now perform the following.
mkdir -p /var/abs/local/firefox cp /var/abs/extra/firefox/* /var/abs/local/firefox cd /var/abs/local/firefox
Now use your favorite editor and open the mozconfig file. Add the following line to the end of the file.
ac_add_options --enable-official-branding
Save and exit, then run
md5sum mozconfig
Copy the string and then open the PKGBUILD file. Now look at the source and md5sums arrays. You can match up the md5sum to the file by comparing these two. Mozconfig is second on the sources list. So we would modify the second md5sum with the string we obtained earlier.
Replace this line:
convert ${startdir}/src/mozilla/browser/app/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png
with the following:
convert ${startdir}/src/mozilla/dist/branding/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png
Now scroll down and look for these two lines.
install -m644 ${startdir}/src/mozilla/browser/app/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/firefox/chrome/icons/default/ install -m644 ${startdir}/src/mozilla/browser/app/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/firefox/icons/
Replace them with the following
install -m644 ${startdir}/src/mozilla/dist/branding/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/firefox/chrome/icons/default/ install -m644 ${startdir}/src/mozilla/dist/branding/default.xpm ${startdir}/pkg/usr/lib/firefox/icons/
Save and exit, then run
This may take some time depending on your system. Once it has created the package, remove your current version of Firefox if you have it installed.
pacman -Rd firefox
Then install the new version with
pacman -A firefox-*.pkg.tar.gz
You may also try upgrading your current Firefox with.
pacman -U firefox-*.pkg.tar.gz
Of course, replace * with your version number.
- CCK Wizard - Allows you to customize every aspect of Firefox. Title bar, user agent, icons, about graphic, and a lot more.
- User Agent Switcher - Adds a menu and a toolbar button to switch the user agent of the browser.
Configurazione Avanzata
about:config in your Firefox address bar to access the advanced configuration. In the filter enter
useragent.extra.firefox. You will see your current user-agent string; you may put whatever you want in there. If you want to make it appear as the default version of Firefox to websites enter:
Firefox/22.214.171.124. Modify accordingly if there is a newer version.
Branding senza ricompilare
To brand "Bon Echo" without recompiling the whole browser, you need to replace the Bon Echo icons with the official Firefox icons, and change the strings "Bon Echo" and "BonEcho" in a few files. The firebrand script takes care of this. Run it after an upgrade or installation of firefox. To revert to the Bon Echo brand again, simply reinstall firefox. The script will by default download the icons every time it is run. To "cache" the icons locally for later firefox upgrades, set the NEWICONSDIR variable to a suitable directory, for instance
Before you try to install extensions, make sure that your /tmp directory was created with the right permissions. If addons won't install, chmod 777 /tmp should fix it.
- Adblock Plus - Surprisingly, it blocks ads.
- MediaPlayerConnectivity - Allow you to launch an embedded video from a website in an external application. Good for those who have problems with media plugins.
To find out what plugins you have installed enter
about:plugins in the Firefox address bar.
- Flash
pacman -S flashplugin You may need to install ttf-ms-fonts (pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts) for flashplayer to render text properly.
- Mplayer - Mplayer's multimedia plugin is one of the most mature. This will generally cover everything you need.
pacman -S mplayer-plugin
- Java
pacman -S jre
- Citrix
(see Citrix how-to)
- Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader is only available in the AUR due to licensing issues.
yaourt -S --aur acroread
Tips & Tricks
Modifying the following value has been known to improve the way fonts looks in Firefox. Type about:config into your address bar. Type dpi into the filter and change layout.css.dpi to 0.
Rimpiazzamento dei Font
Another way to improve how fonts look is to replace them with another. Add or create a .fonts.conf with the following.
<match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Helvetica</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>Bitstream Vera Sans</string> </edit> </match>
The first font name is the one we would like to replace. The second is the one we will be replacing it with.
Configurazione dei Font
For more information on font configuration, please read Xorg Font Configuration.
Alleggerire, Accellerare Firefox / Sistemare i fonts e i problemi dei controlli
Also font fix for Mozilla suite
Try to add
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
to /etc/profile and logout.
Perchè ottengo questo errore quando clicco col tasto centrale del mouse?
! The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.
You may also get unexpected behavior like looking up a random webpage.
The reason stems from the use of the middle mouse buttons in
UNIX-like operating systems. The middle mouse button is used to paste whatever text has been highlighted/added to the clipboard. Also, there is a feature in Firefox which defaults to loading the url of the corresponding text when it is depressed. This can be disabled like so:
Open the browser, and type the following into the address bar:
search for 'middlemouse.contentLoadURL' and set it to false.
Perchè il pulsante backspace non esegue la funzione 'Indietro'?
As i found here, this feature was removed to fix a bug. But you can get it back!
Open the browser, and type the following address:
search for 'browser.backspace_action' and set it to 0 (zero).

Film Review: Katalin Varga
More Berlin reviews
BERLIN -- In its first half hour, "Katalin Varga" seems overwhelmed by its portentous sound design (which goes way beyond simple "music") and its overly picturesque long shots of its admittedly gorgeous setting in the Carpathian mountains. It all just seems too much. But once the central drama starts to clarify itself, everything begins to work in tandem to produce a powerful, elemental film. The tense, restrained performance of Hilda Péter, as the film's central character, Katalin Varga, is also superb and could easily lead to a best actress award here at the Berlinale.
Given its provenance in Romania and Hungary, the film may not attract much attention from bigger American distributors, but careful, attentive handling by a boutique firm could lead to modest profits. It should do even better on DVD, and seems poised to become an obvious selection at festivals around the world.
When the story begins, Katalin and her son Orbán (Norbert Tankó) are being brutally kicked out of their house by Katalin's enraged husband, who has just discovered Orbán is not his son. As they make their lonely way across the empty landscape, Katalin decides she needs first to avenge the rape that resulted in the birth of Orbán before anything else in her life can be set right.
One of the most interesting things about the film is director Strickland's decision to deliberately play with its time period. At first, it feels like we're in the middle of the nineteenth century, especially given the appearance of the impoverished villagers and the fact that Katalin and her son set out on their journey with a horse and wagon. Then, sometime later, cell phones and automobiles appear, and, rather than being jarred, we're gently made to understand that Strickland is trying to suggest something about the primitive and eternal nature of what we're about to see. Still later, we witness a scene of peasants dancing in a fire-lit barn that is utterly timeless.
Strickland also strives to create a highly expressionistic form of realism that is much more emotionally powerful than the standard variety. It takes a while for everything to mesh, but once it does, the film moves toward a profundity that is modest but telling.
In addition, moral issues are raised along the way as we see Katalin becoming even more vicious than her original attackers. We also come to understand that these same morally reprehensible men are nevertheless complex human beings, like us all, whose beings extend beyond the shameful, evil act perpetrated upon Katalin. Several scenes near the end of the film--for example when Katalin is psychologically tormenting her rapist in the presence of his adoring wife, who knows nothing--are absolutely riveting.

Emilia Kabakov, 69, and her husband, Ilya, 80, are widely recognised as the foremost artists to emerge from the Soviet Union, from where they emigrated in 1973 and 1987 respectively. Since 1988 they have been working together, producing large-scale projects. Now living in New York, they have been in hundreds of shows around the world, and represented Russia at the Venice Biennale in 1993. Their latest commission is for a major installation at the Grand Palais, Paris, as part of Monumenta 2014 (May 10 to June 22).
Routine I wake up around 6am, Ilya half an hour later, and we have breakfast and start working. We talk all day – I go to his studio (which is at home) and he will come to where I am working; it's a continual process. He paints and I do everything else. In the afternoon we might go for a walk and talk more about ideas. Ilya goes to bed about 9pm and I go about 11pm, but I read a lot, so I get about four hours' sleep.

Poetry I wrote poetry in this book [pictured] when I was 13 or 14 years old, and although I never normally do this I re-read it recently, and actually some of it is quite good. But it is so strange revisiting the past. I found some articles that I wrote when I left Russia in 1973, and they are very nostalgic, which I found strange. I don't remember being nostalgic, but obviously I was.
Piano I started playing the piano when I was three years old. My mother always said that I really wanted to play and that I used to go around the house pretending I was playing the piano on every surface, so my parents sent me to a teacher, who I remember being a very, very, very odd woman. When I was old enough I went to a school for talented children and trained as a musician.
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Wedding bells I started playing Franz Liszt's Wedding Bells [score, pictured], which is a very famous piece, when I was 14. I got this strange notion that if I played it very well, I would get married. The first time I played this piece at a concert was when I was 20 and I got married the next day – obviously I knew I was getting married, but it was a nice coincidence.
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Work camp My family tried to escape from Russia in 1957 because my father was Polish, but my parents were arrested at the airport. My sister and I went to live with our grandparents, and that's how we ended up in Dnepropetrovsk [then a city in the Soviet Union, now in Ukraine], which was where I met Ilya – I was a child and he was older. My mother got out of jail after six years, but my father had four more years. We used to go with our mother to visit the camp to see my father. It was a men's camp, and because I was a teenager the younger men would go on the roof to look at me. Then they would make presents for my father to send to me. I think there were also a lot of love letters, but my mother threw them away. One of these presents was this little knife [pictured], which I've kept, and a beautiful jewellery box made from Karelian birch [pictured].
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Talisman This is a strange story. We were in São Paulo in 1995 and I saw some beautiful drawings at an exhibition. I asked about them and I was told they were by a shaman. I asked the man, who was called Gedewon and came from Ethiopia, if I could buy them, but he just smiled at me. He said, through a translator, that if I told him my deepest fear he would make me a present. So I told him (I can't tell you what it is), and two years later I got a package sent to my house with this beautiful painting. The title of the painting is Talisman, and he said it was for my protection. It now hangs in my kitchen and I truly believe in its power. Gedewon went on to be famous, and I was asked to lend the painting for an exhibition. I did, but I felt really uncomfortable with it not being in my house – it was a strange feeling – so I asked for it back immediately.
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Soviet Union Growing up Ilya and my parents had very different experiences of the Soviet Union from me – for them it was hard. But when I was growing up it was a little bit easier because in the 1960s we could dress differently, we didn't have to follow the rules, we could listen to Western music and poetry and watch a few Western films. So we had a little bit more freedom than before, but still I wanted to leave. In 1973 I was one of the first people in the country to emigrate – before that it was virtually impossible. My parents and sister left shortly after me.
Books I am crazy about books and I'm getting more crazy about them. I have about 300 that I haven't read yet, but every time I finish a book I buy a new one. We have a huge collection of physical books, but now I've started buying them on my iPad.
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Fan When I was little in Russia there were lots of Chinese things around – I bought this fan [pictured] when I was about 15. It's made from sandalwood and 50 years later it still smells amazing. It's fragile so I can't use it, but it's very beautiful.
Collaboration In 1987 Ilya got permission to go to Austria for six months for his art. After that he didn't return. We met up the next year, and that was it – we got married in 1992. We started working together and putting our names on our pieces together, so everything we have done since 1988 has been a collaboration. He trained as an artist, I was a musician, so for a while I wasn't sure if I would call myself an artist. We're together so much that it's complicated to explain how we work. It's easier to explain what I don't do: I don't paint. But we have unity of minds and ideas.
Cabinet When I was a child my parents collected Chinese furniture. I am nostalgic about that so now I collect it, too. The pieces have to be old and not flashy. I have a cabinet [pictured] from the 17th century. It is dark red wood and painted inside. I didn't pay much for it, but I love it.
PHOTO: Vincent Dilio
Emigrating Ilya took me and my daughter [by her first husband] to the train station when I left. He gave me some drawings and said if I ever needed money I should sell them – it would have been too difficult for him to send me money once I was out of the country. Then he told me he loved me, and it was very emotional. I never sold them; I was superstitious that if I sold the drawings I would never see him again. Now I have a huge collection of his drawings because he makes them for my birthday and other occasions, but the first three are really important because they were the beginning of my collection.

text: All the security and warmth from the howls of winter came from my stacks of wood supply, and I was consistently working to improve it. The standard bowsaw became my tool of choice along with the needed wood maul to split each cut piece. Often I would borrow a chainsaw from down below and cut up deadfall close to the Tipi. Mercifully, about every two years a standing dead tree would fall, mostly oak and locust, and provide me with all the wood I needed. I kept it stacked like little protective walls around the lodge.

Folk pianist Radoslav Lorkovic at Mendelssohn
Staff Report
The Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center presents the third concert in the "Charlotte's Web Troubadour Series" with Croatian folk pianist Radoslav Lorkovic at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 10, at the historic Emerson House on the Mendelssohn PAC campus, 420 N. Main St., Rockford.
Drawing from a multitude of influences ranging from elegant classical and jazz styles to the rawest, most basic blues, country and soul, Radoslav Lorkovic has taken on an unusually broad musical spectrum and refined it into his distinctive piano style. His tenure on the R&B and folk circuits has culminated in five critically-acclaimed solo recordings and numerous appearances on the recordings of and performances with artists including Odetta, Jimmy LaFave, Ribbon of Highway Woody Guthrie Tribute, Greg Brown, Richard Shindell, Ellis Paul, Ronny Cox, Dave Moore, Andy White and Bo Ramsey. His 30-year touring career has led him from the taverns of the upper Mississippi River to the castles of Italy, The Canary Islands, The Yup'ik villages of Alaska, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1958, Lorkovic's initial exposure to music can be attributed to two grandmothers. Antonija, his maternal grandmother, sang him Croatian, Slovenian and Czech folk songs since birth. At age 1, he was reported to be singing back on pitch. By age 3, he was putting on floor shows for his grandfather and friends, who would respond by showering him with coins yelling "pivaj Radoslav pivaj!" During this time, classical music played in the home constantly because of the influence of his paternal grandmother, Melita Lorkovic, an internationally-renowned classical pianist. After this blend of central European musical influences, Radoslav moved to the United States at age 6. He had a foothold on a classical music career when at age 14, he was sidetracked by a blues scale that a friend had taught him.
After several years and countless hours of expounding on this spark, Lorkovic began touring at age 20 with Bo Ramsey and the Sliders. Lorkovic entered the band having mastered the styles of boogie-woogie greats such as Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, Freddie Slack, etc. Ramsey's influence drove Lorkovic deeper to the core of the blues. The music of Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and Little Walter shifted Lorkovic's focus to the basics as he began to draw from the styles of Otis Spann and Pinetop Perkins. Several years later, Lorkovic and Ramsey joined forces with Greg Brown adding musical authenticity to his deep Iowa roots. At this time, Lorkovic was simultaneously brushing up on his classical heritage and looking south to the polyrhythmic sounds of Professor Longhair and James Booker. He had picked up Tex-Mex and Zydeco accordion as well.
In 1990, he made his solo recording debut.
Six CDs later, Lorkovic tours the world regularly appearing at prestigious events such as the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, WOMAD, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa folk festivals, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Mountain Stage, Prairie Home Companion, eTown as well as a litany of Italian castles and villas. Join Mendelssohn for this "living room" concert: the warm environment of the acoustically and architecturally delicious Emerson House make for a magical evening, filled with song, stories and laughter. Learn more at www.radoslavlorkovic.com.
The Troubadour Series of Charlotte's Web, a division of MPAC, features the singer/songwriter and the instrumentalist. Although duos, trios and quartets are sometimes featured, the series focuses on solo performers. Instruments on stage at the Troubadour Series will range from piano, guitar and mandolin to banjo, fiddle, bass and voice.
The focus of this series is on listening and experiencing the more subtle nuances of the intimate house concert setting that Mendelssohn's historic Emerson House offers. The artists presented are some of the very best in their craft, and their original songs and compositions will weave an aural tapestry befitting the acoustically and architecturally beautiful Emerson House. Cookies, coffee, pop and water are available for purchase at intermission and before the concert.
Admission to the event is $15 for adults, $10 for students up to age 25. Tickets are available and may be purchased online at www.mendelssohnpac.org, by calling (815) 964-9713 or at the door. All seating is first come, first serve. Proceeds will benefit the musicians and the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center.

That's it. All over again for another year.
I hate this bit. The Christmas come-down. Yesterday was spent packing away the decorations, finishing off the festive treats and generally de-Christmassing the place. So sad.
I thought though to help perk me up a bit, I'd look back over the Christmas snaps I took. Here's how I spent the last couple of weeks…..
Our tree in all its glory!
I was also allowed a second tree this year….for all my tacky decorations!
I wrapped gifts in pretty bright colours this year, labelled with my new label maker and finished off with all-important glitter tape!
Gifts for our friends ready ahead of our annual Christmas party.
We made extremely yummy Sloe chocolate for friends, made from the sloes we used in last year's gin and this year's port! Boozy!
We added home made Cinnamon and Frankinsence vodkas to the chocolate, and topped off with a home stitched tree decoration, they became our little Christmas mini-hampers this year.
Hitchin got a German style Christmas market this year, but I was disappointed they didn't have Lebkuchen or Kartoffelpuffer!
We made up for that slightly by drinking lots of lush Gluhwein in the mugs we got at the Christkindlmarkts in Vienna last year!
And of course, MUCH chocolate was consumed. Including this smug looking Milky Bar Kid.
My Mummy came to visit over Christmas, as did Adam's parents, eldest brother and sister in law. The dogs enjoyed the extra attention no end!
Father Christmas made a HUGE delivery to our house!
My haul! And it was the first Christmas I didn't have to wish for a puppy!
Hope you had a fabulously festive time too!

text: They might not be as strong in their traditional stellar event, but that doesn't mean that the Aberdeen Roncalli track and field squads will not be able to carry on their recent tradition. The Cavaliers have been one of the elite Class A programs in the state the past few seasons. Roncalli is the defending state champion in the boys' division and the girls' are one year removed from a runnerup finish at the state meet. Big shoes to fill: The one thing unique about this year's teams is that the one area where the Cavaliers have shone the brightest in years past, the hurdles, is one of the biggest question marks this spring. Gone are the days of Kyle Malsom, Jake Hamik, Bill Cameron, Tracy Stone and Marisa Aldinger. "We do have quite a tradition going with that," said Roncalli girls' coach Mark Stone said. "We have a huge group of hurdlers now again." Both Stone and Roncalli boys' coach Terry Dosch believe that younger athletes will step into that role and be able to contribute. "That's kind of been our forte," Dosch said of the hurdles. "We don't have the one standout guy that we've had, but we have a number of really solid kids." Boys' Team: Roncalli looks loaded once again on the boys' side. The Cavaliers return many key members from their state championship team. "We certainly have some athletes who have the capability of doing some pretty good things on the track," Dosch said. "We feel good about the kids that we have." One of the things about a group that features the likes of Tony Bock, Dan O'Keefe and Eric Cantwell is the versatility the athletes bring. "They're not one-dimensional," Dosch said. "They can run anything from a 100 to an 800, and they do." Dosch is hoping that individuals will step up and help replace the nearly automatic points supplied by Cameron last season. "Some guys that were maybe a little bit in the mix last year have to be a lot in the mix this year," Dosch said. "You don't replace athletes like Bill Cameron, but I think we have some kids, who could in other areas, maybe help us recoup some of those points." That includes Jason Bierle and Cory Martin in the distance events, Darren Dell in the throws, and Justin Kline in relays. Dosch is working with 31 athletes, including eight seniors. "It's pretty unusual in this day and age to have that many seniors on your track team," Dosch said. Girls' team: The Roncalli girls do not have the numbers of the boys' squad, but still have plenty of potential to make a splash. "We do have some good kids," Stone said. "I wish our numbers were up, but I've wished that for years." The squad will be bolstered by four seniors, Rachel Reynen, Kendra Titze, Ashley Martel and Rachel Schmidt. Stone is hoping to blend in a solid group of underclassmen that includes seventh-grader Katie McNeary, and eighth-graders Rachel Carlsen and Brooke Horner. "I would never do a petition early like that unless I was convinced they were going to help us right away," Stone said of moving the younger members up to varsity status. "I do think we have some very good young kids." Stone is hoping that the Cavaliers can cover a variety of events with multiple athletes. "I want to fill up the entry sheet," he said. "I want to have three names in the throws and three names in the jumps." Season outlook: Stone and Dosch said it is premature to start talking about state meet possibilities, but both are optimistic about the upcoming season. Here is this spring's schedule: March - 30, Al Sahli-Dakota Silk Screen; April - 3, Eureka Invitational; 10, Groton Invitational; 12, Roncalli Invitational; 19, Redfield Relays; 24, Groton Invitational; 28, Hub City Invitational; May - 1, Milbank Invitational; 4-5, Howard Wood Dakota Relays; 8, Miller Invitational; 12, Northeast Conference at Milbank; 17, Region 1A at Redfield; 25-26, State A Meet at Lennox and Sioux Falls.

forthcoming in the Minnesota Law Review, Vol. 92
In the past decade behavioral economics has established itself as a contender to the throne of neoclassical economics in the economic analysis of law. The pros and cons of behavioral as compared to neoclassical economics have been vigorously debated at the general, methodology level. But the success or failure of the behavioral challenge will be judged by its ability to improve upon neoclassical economics—both descriptively and prescriptively—in specific legal applications. Consumer contracts provide an important test case for behavioral economics. In this Exchange we offer the first comprehensive debate between the behavioral and neoclassical perspectives as applied to the law and economics of consumer contracts.

Destiny Child embarks on Nationwide Tour
AS auditions for the second season of gospel music reality TV show, Destiny Child draws near, organisers have concluded plans to begin a nationwide tour to major geographical zones across the country. Organisers say the show will visit Lagos, Ilorin, Akure, Markudi, Port-Harcourt, Calabar, and Abuja.
According to findings, the six finalists of the first season have metamorphosed into a group known as the Supreme Six. The group consists of the top winners – Israel Funsho, Femi Flame (1st runner up), Rasine Brown (2nd runner – up) and three other finalists: Shalom, King David and Frances.
The group of six will embark on a nationwide tour Tagged Product of Hope which begins on July 4, 2013. The tours kick off at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), after which it will move to Ilorin, home of Israel and from there to Akure home of Femi Ashana.
Product of Hope will later move to Warri before Port Harcourt, home of Rasine Brown, plays host to it. After the Supreme Six must have toured the homes of the top winners, Calabar will be its next port of call from where it will finally berth in Abuja.
Equipped with what it takes to take over and rejuvenate the gospel music scenery in Nigeria and the world at large, the Supreme Six will perform songs from their debut album titled Destiny Child before a live audience at the zones.
According to the organizers, part of the essence of the tour is to activate the zones in preparation for when auditions begins in August. Destiny Child album is a compilation of the original songs of the six finalists at the boat camp.
Meanwhile, the trios of Israel, Femi and Rasine have followed up their singles with a video which is presently enjoying rotation on major TV across the country. The singles Praise Your Name by Israel, Adanimagbagbe (Mindful Creator) by Femi ak.a Femi Flames and Amazing Love by Rasine, display the creativity of all three gospel artistes as it is composed of rock, afrobeat and a hint of pop which have been blended together to produce extraordinary sounds that ministers to all.

"It's The Ukemi, Stupid"

Re: Unhappy being pushed to test
I train at an overcrowded dojo, so I don't personally care that a large percentage stays to 4th kyu and injures out, mostly because they never figured out on their own how to roll without hurting their shoulders. But a smaller dojo is definitely going to have retention problems if it doesn't actively teach ukemi as a part of class, and those issues could be with men or women.
I'm a woman and I was taught to fall by men, and have male ukemi role models and do just fine, so I don't think this is about women having a different center of gravity or whatever. But women do differ from men in two important ways:
1. Women are socialized to assume that the problem with their ukemi is innate (my neck is too short, my thighs are too fat, my ukemi isn't very good...), whereas men are socialized to assume that they can troubleshoot and fix problems like this (I can fix my computer and I can fix the way I fall...)
2. Women are more risk averse, generally, then men. If a man falls badly a few times, he learns from each bad fall how to fall better. Women prefer to withdraw from things that hurt them. I learned how to do better breakfalls by figuring out how not to land on my kidneys, but I am not feminine in this way.
Ukemi drills in class would really help both of these specific feminine mindsets. I used to be a sculpture teacher, and found that I could never get my female students to use the table saw. But when I created a short assignment that involved everyone using the saw, and explained how to do it safely, then it became a non-issue and of course the women were often safer and had better judgment at it then the men.
As to the testing thing, nobody on this forum can tell whether you are ready or not, but you should generally test for yourself and to your own expectations (provided they are high enough). You're acting as a role model no matter your rank.

London: Rare protests have taken place in Vietnam amid maritime territorial disputes with neighboring China.
The protests in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi took place as tensions are high after an incident last month in which Hanoi accused Beijing of cutting the cables of a Vietnamese oil exploration ship.
Vietnam is also unhappy at a map in new Chinese passports that shows disputed areas of the South China Sea as Chinese territory, the BBC reports.
According to the report, hundreds of people are reported to have taken part in the protests on Sunday morning against what they see as Chinese aggression and expansionism.
Public demonstrations are extremely rare in Vietnam, where the government makes social and political stability its top priority, the report said.
Vietnam and the Philippines accuse China of growing assertiveness around disputed islands and shoals.
The Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) said Chinese fishing boats had sabotaged one of its oil survey vessels last month in the South China Sea.
According to the report, Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan have also complained to China about the new passport map, saying it is an infringement of their sovereignty.

R (for strong graphic violence, language and nudity), 20th Century Fox, 105 minutes.
Written, produced and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Cast: Danny Trejo, Steven Segal, Jennifer Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Jeff Fahey, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Robert De Niro.
Machete is an expansion of the fake trailer that was shown in the Grind House movies (Death Proof and Planet Terror) from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino in 2007.
Machete continues the B movie and exploitation style from Grind House and boy oh boy, does Rodriguez have fun with it!
If there's a lady out there that enjoys this movie then my hat is off to you. This is definitely an over the top macho movie primarily for a male audience that is much like the recently released Expendables–yet far more ridiculous and fun.
Danny Trejo stars in his first lead role as the title character which he also played in the Spy Kids franchise also directed by Rodriguez. Trejo has actually had roles in almost every film directed by Robert Rodriguez and he is perfectly cast here. He gives a silent yet deadly performance as Machete an ex-Federale who's family was murdered by the Drug Lord Torrez, (played by Steven Segal who still knows how to wield a sword).
The film exploits extreme bloody violence and beautiful naked women with so much style, that you just have to be entertained and at the same time it even manages to give a political message about illegal immigrants coming into Amercia, which actually gets you thinking.
The basic plot here involves Machete being hired by a ruthless businessman called Michael Booth, (Jeff Fahey who is just as good here as he was in Planet Terror) to assassinate Senator John Mclaughlin, (Robert De Niro who just has fun with his role) a man with a major grudge against illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico. Machete soon finds he has been set up and gets caught up with Santana Rivera (Jessica Alba) a beautiful Immigrations Officer who is torn between enforcing the law and doing what is right and Luz, (Michelle Rodriguez) a taco-truck lady with a rebellious spirit and revolutionary heart. Don Johnson shows up as Von Jackson a twisted border vigilante leading a small army but makes little use of his role.
Lindsay Lohan is actually fun to watch here in her supporting role as a socialite who becomes a Nun and has a penchant for guns.
I will not deny that Machete is completely absurd. Yes, for the most part it is, but that is what makes it so wildly entertaining in the first place. Or at least, it was for me. I say: ladies stay away, (unless you like this sort of thing) and Men: flock in and crack open a beer. 3/5 stars

I love nothing better than a
great flea market or antique store
and my kids get equally excited
to while away an hour or so there, too.
To them, it is like discovering treasure.
My daughter is always on the hunt
for vintage dog figurines to add to
her collection. My son likes frogs
as well as other boyish collectibles,
such as spy-glasses and compasses.
On a recent trip to an antiques mart,
I was struck by their surprise whenever
they turned an item over looking for
a price tag or an identifying mark,
crowing, Mommy, it's made in
the USA! In their young lives, this
has been the exception and not the rule.
Which got me thinking about how
ubiquitous the Made in China sticker
has become in our lives.....
While I love
history and culture
even dogs and cats....
There is one Chinese thing I do not like:
the prevalence of their manufactured
items found in our U.S. stores.
The Chinese dominance in manufacturing
makes me mourn the days when our own
craftsmen and artisans created
millions of items with pride and our
domestic corporations churned out typewriters
and washing machines, televisions and telephones.
{This is one reason that I'm so drawn to vintage.}
Low labor costs in China mean lower wholesale
expenses for companies and lower retail prices for us,
the consumers. Sadly, inspections and standards
of working conditions in China are not as rigorous
as they are in the USA and sweatshops and child labor
are a still a reality in that country. China also has
environmental problems that continue to get worse every
year due to factory pollution. And, China is a communist
country, diminishing the hard work and goodness
of some of its people in order to benefit others.
|Chinese children making toys
|Chinese children making fake designer boots
Of my international friends, I ask:
Do products made in China dominate
the stores in your countries?
If they do, what are your feelings about this topic?
For me, the true cost of these low price
items is too high.
I believe that my family can choose
alternative things to those made in China.
So, for the month of October, I am
pledging not to purchase Chinese manufactured goods..
Zilch. Zippo.
It will take awareness.
It will take intent.
What are your thoughts on this subject?
Care to to join me in my challenge?
I'd sure love your company.

|Metal Fatigue and Big Riders
|Fatigue failure is failure that occurs after repeated cycles of stress, but at a stress that is less than that which would be required for the failure to occur with a single application. Cyclic loading is the key idea here; and we get plenty of that as we ride. The number of cycles to failure by fatigue decreases as the load is increased. This is where the big rider comes in – the rider we at Zinn Cycles specialize in building bikes for. However, metals can also fail at rather low stresses given many repeated cycles of stress. All metals other than aluminum have a "fatigue limit," which is the stress below which failure will never occur. With aluminum, failure can occur even at very low stresses, given enough stress applications.
|Big riders are often very familiar with wearing out and breaking bike equipment. You go through tires much faster than lighter riders, your rear rim develops cracks at the spoke holes, and maybe you've broken spokes, chains, hub flanges, seatposts, saddle rails, saddle shells, crank arms, and even frames. To avoid breakage in use, big riders need to replace their weight-bearing bike parts more frequently than would a smaller rider.
|Many big riders who go to bike fitters come away set up with longer pedal spindles to properly align the knees over the feet to account for wider pelvic structure, and the recommended saddle will often be wide as well. The stem will tend to be long and the handlebars wide, too. These adaptations "to make the bike look like the rider," as fit guru Andy Pruitt, director of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, often says, can significantly improve the rider's comfort and efficiency. However, there is a fatigue cost.
|The use of longer and wider parts results in higher loads for a bigger rider because they are cantilevered out further from their mounting points; this causes a higher rate of fatigue failure on those parts. A seatpost for a big and tall rider may be extended twice as far out of the frame and get twice as much weight put on it as a small rider's seatpost, and it will consequently be subject to a higher rate of fatigue failure. One rarely hears of a small rider breaking a seatpost, but many big riders have had it happen to them. The breakage may be attributed to hitting a bump, but that may simply be the straw that broke the camel's back; the cumulative stresses on the seatpost made it vulnerable so that the single, sharp impact snapped it off. Perhaps the seatpost would have passed a standardized lab fatigue test, but the loads applied and the amount of seatpost extension used in the lab test may be far less than the big rider might apply in use.
|Similarly, a big, strong rider pushing on pedals with extra-long spindles screwed into long crankarms will be subjecting those cranks, as well as the spindles, to an extra high rate of fatigue failure. Consequently, the big rider should replace his cranks (and spindles) more frequently than a small rider would. This is the reason we allow our customers to upgrade their cranks at half price. Similarly, we offer a 10% discount to our bike customers on any weight-bearing part they replace on their bikes.
|Bike riding is too much fun to have your ride ruined by suddenly breaking a part that has your full weight on it. Big riders particularly would do well to recognize that metal bike parts do not last forever. They have a lifespan, and there is wisdom in replacing them before they break. I have seen a number of owner's manuals for aluminum stems and handlebars that recommend replacement after three years of use. I think that's a good guideline for aluminum weight-bearing parts under big riders. For instance, I personally replace my aluminum handlebars after two years of use. Even with ideal maintenance, all components will eventually reach the end of their serviceable life, the length of which depends on conditions and intensity of use.

In '30s Paris, ageing actor Victor Derval (Noiret) meets Liza (Varga), a girl fascinated by the theatre in general and Derval in particular. They become lovers and she moves into his townhouse as his secretary. But there, she falls in love with Derval's son Paul (Blanc).
Maillet's romance neatly sketches in the background of inter-war France, but never gets as much detail into the characters. Blanc's Paul is a cardboard cut-out and, despite Varga's best efforts, Liza remains a French movie cliché - the beautiful naïf who's every action is dictated by the needs of the plot, not the character.
Only Noiret overcomes the limitations of the part. But even watching him tailor this off-the-peg roué into something more fitting isn't enough to make the film worthwhile.
