Hi kids.
I'm not a blogger, but I do like to put words together. It is relaxing and reassuring to me to see my thoughts on the page or on the screen in carefully assembled sentences which, at least as they filter back through my eyes and into my brain, externalize more or less exactly what is a very internal process: listening and responding to music.
Basically what I'm saying is that this is more for my benefit than it is for yours, but since we're here talking about music and impatiently tapping our feet to the dreadfully sluggish beat of the Winter months that lead up to the Sasquatch! lineup announcement, this seems like as good a venue as any for this project: the succinctly titled Record a Day, courtesy of your very own Horned Gramma.
It'll be what it sounds like it'll be: each day(with some missed days, I'm sure), I'll spend an hour or so with one of the discs in my vast collection of marginalia and weirdo music and try to encapsulate an emotional response. I'll try to include links when I can to samples of some of the music.
Maybe you'll get turned on to some cool new stuff. Maybe I'll just sound like a bastard. It doesn't matter, like I said, this is for me.
Stay chuned or don't!
This thread has become kind of massive, branching off several times into pages of tangential discussion. This is a message board, so of course that's great, that's what we do here.

Steve Burns - Songs for Dustmites
That this record exists at all is kind of funny. Explaining its pedigree to a person usually elicits the response you might get if you were to start a joke with 'A priest, a rabbi and a monk walked into a bar...'.
So Steve Burns, the original host of Blue's Clues on Nick Jr., decides to abandon a well-loved and high-profile gig on cable television in favor of recording a song cycle about a reluctant Superman with the help of one Steven Drozd - who we all know as the drummer for the Flaming Lips. Drozd convinces the Lips' producer - God of Clusterfuck Thunder Dave Fridmann - to produce the album, and then Steve stole the Big Comfy Chair from the set over at Nickelodeon, and the rest is history.
I bought this record from the sorely missed Music Millennium in Northwest Portland on the day it was released - which also happened to be the very first day I ever spent in Portland. I have a soft spot for novelty music that strives to be something bigger than itself, but I was particularly excited about this one: I'd been reading about it for more than a year, and I already regarded Steve as the most earnest and engaging children's show host since Fred Rogers. Also, at the time I was so apeshit in love with the Flaming Lips that the chocolate-and-peanut butter nature of 'Songs for Dustmites' was sure to appeal to me.
Of course, with Dave Fridmann at the boards, the album kicks into overdrive almost immediately with 'Mighty Little Man'. Steve Burns assumes the role of a man who accidentally imbues himself with superpowers in a laboratory accident. The song is big and loud, and with lines like "Nobody else is stronger than I am/Yesterday I moved a mountain/I bet I could be your hero/I am a mighty little man', it could almost sound like some Creed bullshit if you didn't get the feeling that the singer is being entirely literal.
What follows, surprisingly, isn't 40 minutes of amateur songwriting buried under the electronic patchouli that smothered every Lips album from 'The Soft Bulletin' until 'At War With the Mystics'. In fact, the quieter moments are the best: '>1' finds our Mighty Little Man wishing for simpler times, remembering building forts, playing with G.I. Joes and anticipating a future in which we'll live on the moon; for the percussion on this track, Steve mic'd the armrests of the big red patent leather chair from the Blue's Clues set and played them like a bongo. 'A Reason' sounds like a plea for sex with the ex, 'Stick Around' expands to include a surprisingly subtle, intricate string arrangement. The centerpiece of the record is 'A Song for Dustmites', a simple piano ballad about love on a microcosmic scale, which launches into the troposphere at the final chorus with a spine-shaking drum solo from Drozd. And just to make sure everyone who ever hears it has a chance to scratch their head and say What the Fuck, there's also a song about string theory.
Seven years ago, I spent six nights in the hostel in NW Portland, eating ecstasy and hardwiring this record to my brain. To me it's a record about smashing through the walls and entering a major new phase, and then realizing how incapable and scared you really are. The Mighty Little Man has his heart mishandled and decides that although he has the ability to save the world, the world doesn't deserve it. The stupid bitch.

Nice. I laughed out loud a couple times reading that post. Good work topspin.
I will defend gramma though. He is somewhat entertaining. When he gets his computer situation situated, this will still be one of the more interesting and educational threads on any board. I imagine typing through a PS3 is much like texting, so don't expect anything more than one line responses from him anytime soon.

NUMBER 109. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. APRIL, 1900. (Thirty-first Year.) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. The higher education of carefully selected Negro young men and women, in both academic and industrial lines, is emphasized by this Institution as necessary for the elementary and industrial training of the masses. "Men of light and leading" in other spheres of activity are also greatly needed by the race that has so long sat in darkness. Earnestly Christian, as required by its charter, yet entirely unsectarian, the In- stitution is controlled solely by its own board of trustees, on which several denominations are represented. Some 300 students are enrolled under 22 officers and teachers. From the college and normal courses 352 graduates have been sent out, nearly all of whom have readily found permanent employment in teaching or other useful occupations. Situated only about seventy miles from the centre of the Negro population of the country, in one of the largest Southern cities, and at the railroad centre of the South, its location is of strategic importance for promoting the educational advancement of the South. Its plant includes sixty-five acres of land, four large brick buildings, library of 10, 500 volumes, apparatus and other equipment worth not less than $250,000. With practically no endowment, with no aid from public or denominational funds, receiving about one-fourth of its support from its own students, the Institution appeals for an endowment of $500,000, and, until that is secured, for $25,000 annually to meet current expenses. Gifts of any amount are welcome, but special appeal is made for subscriptions of $100 and upwards, and for $40 scholarships. Remittances may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. On The Campus. The Commencement orator this year will be Rev. L. B. Maxwell('85). Prof. Chase has returned to Atlanta, and resumed his regular class work April 2. President Bumstead will speak at the Capon Springs Conference, next June, on "The Practical Value of the Higher Education of the Negro." The four copies of pictures by H. O. Tanner, recently presented by Miss Stokes, have been framed and hung in the front hall of Stone Hall. The children of the Leonard St. Orphanage gave a very pleasing entertainment in the Ware Memorial Chapel the night of April 6. On his return from New England to Texas, Mr. P. L. Smith stopped in Atlanta for a few hours, addressing the students on the afternoon of April 4. Among our March visitors were Secretary Beard of the American Missionary Association, President Backus of Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. E. S. Tead of Somerville, Mass., Mr. Herbert A. Wilder and Mr. Spaulding of Newton, Mass., and President John M. Allen of the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Co. At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, Mr. R. L. Smith ('80) was appointed Southern Secretary. He will continue his connection with the Farmers' Improvement Society in Texas, still giving to that organization the greater part of his time. But a considerable portion of his energy will be given to the service of this institution, in such ways as may be found most helpful to our work. Our Graduates. The Knox Herald for March especially interests us. It is published by Knox Institute at Athens, of which L. S. Clark ('87) is the principal, and its two leading articles are on "Our Industrial Work" by the teacher of that department, R. W. Gadsden ('97), and on "The Christian Influence of Knox Institute" by another teacher, Miss M. L. M.Turner ('96). '80—The Outlook for March 31 has an article four pages in lengtb,byR. L. Smith, on "Village Improvement Among the Negroes." '83—The first statement of the Reed Home and School, in Covington, has been recently issued by Mrs. Dinah Watts Pace, who has been in continuous charge of the work since its beginning in 1884. The report covers briefly the work of the first fifteen years. '91—L. B. Palmer, having graduated with honor from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania last June, and having served for some months in one of the Chicago hospitals, has now entered upon private medical practice in Chicago. '97—Anna B. Hooker, teacher of music at Howard Normal School, Cuthbert, sends us occasionally interesting programs of the rhetorical exercises in that institution, '99—The Tougaloo News, in speaking of the field day sports and foot ball game of Feb. 22 at Tougaloo University, says of Wm. J. Decatur, assistant instructor in the industrial department there, "The success of the day is mainly due to his efforts and the interest he manifested in the sports."

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: TrinaTurk
2010 September 10
Runway Reviews: Trina Turk, Gregory Parkinson, Whit
FirstView View Gallery
Imagine the simpler life, before the digital revolution, internet, email and even voicemail, before the Brangelinas and Bennifers. For Spring 2011, Turk recreatd a retro luxe Palm Springs aerie circa 1974, with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw lounging about their glam lovenest with guests just as fab as their surroundings. The secret to Trina's success is how she translates her classic preppy chic sensibility with retro patterns into a modern chicette's wardrobe. The loft was transformed into several rooms (Pool Deck, Refreshment Bar, Party Room and Bedroom) which provided the perfect backdrop and mood to display Trina's printed cushions and bedding amongst her cheery and primary colored tunics, jumpsuits, and dresses and jewelry for women and bold printed blazers and shorts for men. The collection had a very relaxed '70s luxe Halston-inspired feel with one shouldered tunics and blouson jersey dresses adorned with gold cabochon cuffs and chunky statement necklaces.
Though it was sunny outside, Gregory's latest collection was entitled "Drenched," as his eclectic collection was created from fabrics were washed, dyed, re-dyed, and texturized to evoke clothing caught in a summer downpour. His collection had a gypsy feel with an explosion of different colorful prints and fabrics assembled into ruffled blouses, loose caftans, flowing dresses and full skirts reminiscent of the early days when Ibiza was just being discovered---though that are just as relevant for the summer in the city (think Jade Jagger). All of his fabrics were sourced and reassembled in Los Angeles. Recently named one of CFDA's Fashion Fund finalists, he's quickly developing his organic signature style of splicing and retooling tye dyed and vibrant prints to evoke the easy going lifestyle of a boho hippie chick.
In her sophomore season, Whitney Pozgay presented a tribal beach-inspired collection that took cues from her fond memories of '60s beach blanket films, Southern California, and her international travels. While surf movies played in the foreground, her '60s-inspired beachy outfits featured colorful prints from all over the world, a tribal pattern based on the color splotching from using zinc at the beach, and a block print based on a fabric found in India that was manipulated and colored. Homage was paid to Annette Funicello, the campy beach blanket goddess, with her signature turbans that topped off sorbet-hued Pareo tied urchin skirts paired with poplin blouson tops and shorts paired with bikini tees.

Don't take nutritious food away from the poor
Earlier this month, the U.S. House of Representatives, on a party-line vote, broke with tradition by stripping from the farm bill the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). What's left in the bill is billions of dollars of subsidies mostly for farming conglomerates. The U.S. Senate passed a much more balanced bill last month. The farm bill sets U.S. agricultural, food and resource conservation policy for the next five years.
Over the past 18 years, our government has doled out an average of $7 billion per year of taxpayer funds to support the livestock and dairy industries. Instead, their products should be taxed to reimburse state and federal governments for the uncounted billions in increased medical costs and lost productivity associated with their consumption. Conversely, a sound national nutrition program based on vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fruits and nuts can save additional billions in reduced social costs.
I am all in favor of reducing our national deficit, government waste and medical costs. But that's not going to happen by taking nutritious food from the mouths of 47 million of our society's least privileged members.

NUMBER 136 ATLANTA, GEORGIA APRIL, 1903 For statement of the work of Atlanta University see last page. RECONSTRUTION IN GEORGIA The New York Independent of March 19 has a most interesting article on Reconstruction in Georgia in 1865-70, by Hon. Rufus B. Bullock, Georgia's reconstruction and only Republican governor. Ex-Governor Bullock has been a trustee of this institution for many years and much interested in its work. He has never been, in any especial sense, a politician, having been called to the front in reconstruction days more by reason of the exigencies of the business situation than by any desire for political preferment. He had formerly been a slave holder, was in the confederate service during the war, surrendering as assistant quartermaster general with Lee at Appomattox, and was, when nominated for governor, the president of the first new railroad constructed in Georgia after the war, and a director in the first national bank established in his home city, Augusta. The Atlanta Constitution, the influence of which as an able and widely-read Democratic paper is well known, speaks with marked approval of this article. Its editorial concludes: '-At this time of revamping the old race issue as a theme of national discussion, such papers as that of ex-Governor Bullock in The Independent are both timely and instructive." We quote a few statements from the Constitution's editorial: Ex-Governor Bullock interlards his able paper with few partisan arguments, endeavoring to confine his resume to statements of fact as he observed and understood the momentous events in which he so prominently figured. After a lapse of more than a quarter of a century, with so many revolutionary changes intervening, it is natural that the present should be rusty on the concrete history of the reconstruction era, and Georgians of today will find much in Mr. Bullock's article worthy of preservation in their scrapbooks. . . . Mr. Bullock pays a high tribute to Governor Joseph E. Brown and contends that his course as leader of the "congress'' party has been logically vindicated by events. Of Alexander H. Stephens he says: The election in Georgia of Mr. Alexander H. Stephens, late vice-president of the Confederate States, to the United States senate startled the North, and yet he was the fittest and safest man for the position at that time. . . . No man then living, after the war, could have counseled so wisely and safely to harmonious conclusions between the late contending sections, who misunderstood each other, as Mr. Stephens. In view of Mr. Bullock's prominence in the past political affairs of Georgia and his standing in the republican party, anything he may have to say touching the status of the southern Negro today is especially interesting. Says Georgia's former governor: The large amount of property returned by the Negroes in Georgia on which they pay taxes is the highest evidence that their environment is not unfriendly. No harm has come to Georgia because of the Negro's emancipation or his enfranchisement, except that of our own making. Legislative efforts for his disfranchisement have received only scant support, and the controlling sentiment is opposed to his expatriation or emigration. He is welcome to his home here with us. One sentence in ex-Governor Bullock's article, not quoted by the Constitution, make appreciative reference to our work. He says: "The great need of higher or university education to prepare competent colored leaders for the race is not so well understood by our people now as it will be later; but the unfailing liberality during more than thirty years of the charitable North in supporting the Atlanta University for this purpose has in great measure supplied the deficiency." A TALLADEGA STUDENT AT YALE We congratulate Talladega College and Mr. Pickens on the success of the latter at Yale University. Mr. Pickens is a member of the regular Junior College class, and is, we are reliably informed, doing excellent work in his regular studies, as well as making a brilliant record as an orator. We quote the comment of the New York Independent. The William Pickens who has just won the $100 first prize for oratory in the Junior Class at Yale is a dark Negro from Little Rock, Ark., who graduated at Talladega College, in Alabama, one of the best institutions for colored people in the South, and then entered the Junior Class at Yale. He will be remembered by those who attended the meeting of the American Missionary Association at Springfield, Mass., two years ago, for his brilliant address there, which gave promise of future distinction. He supports himself by any work he can get. Thus Yale, as well as Harvard, gives its testimony to the intellectual ability of the black race when pitted in friendly rivalry with Caucasians. News of Our Graduates '76—Pres. R. R. Wright of the Ga. State College delivered an address in Boston recently upon the Value of the A. M. A. Work in Southern Education. '76—Rev. Joseph E. Smith is again a member of the school board in the city of Chattanooga. This is not a new position to him, for he has previously served eleven consecutive years in that capacity, retiring of his own choice a few years ago. We are glad of the honor that has been conferred again upon him. '91—Silas X. Floyd has been unanimously elected principal of the First Ward Grammar School in Augusta, thus taking up the work of the late Henry L. Walker ('82). '94—Mrs. Ella L. (Miller) Colvin died of consumption at her home in St. Augustine, Fla., Mar. 26. Mr. Colvin had died only a few weeks previous. Miss Miller went to St. Augustine to teach soon after her graduation, and married Mr. Colvin in 1898. She had made her home in that city since her marriage. '97—R. W. Gadsden, who is now teaching in one of the public schools of Savannah, is President of the Young Men's Christian Association of that city. He is now engaged in raising money for an association building. '99—The last number of the Gazette, a quarterly published by the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, has an article by W. A. Rogers, on The Object of Educational Sloyd. Mr. Rogers teaches mechanical drawing and sloyd in that institution. '01—Miss Mary F. Monroe teaches this year at Swayne Institute, Montgomery, Ala. '01—John W. Kinney has been the boys' industrial teacher at the Haines Institute in Augusta, since his graduation. We give elsewhere a brief sketch of the industrial work at that institution. '02—Miss Jessie V. McHenry has recently completed a term as teacher at Norcross, Ga., and Miss Julia E. White is teaching at Adasburg. Miss Emma C. Penney teaches at the Tuskegee Institute.

On so many of these blogs, Sharkey and I look so poised and well-behaved. While it's true that we are those things, it's also a fact that we love to run and chase and wrestle with each other. Come and see what I mean.
Comments (10)
Hi Girl Friends, Sorry I haven't commented on your wonderful blog for a while, but we have been very busy gardening since the weather improved. I sure do love this blog about playing with a friend. You two sure do have fun and get to go to lots of great places. I have a part-time cat friend, but he's getting older and doesn't like to play much any more. Guess I'll have to talk my mom into getting me a full time friend. Sure wish I could play with you two. Have fun. Love, Dudley Do Right xoxo
Franny you are my kind of girl.
I love to play ambush. My targets are the big Labs I live with. I run so fast they can't catch me. I attack the area under their neck and run. Right now I'm recovering from a small cut on the ear from someones tooth, nothing major just a scab now with a little hair loss, I'm sure it will grow back.
Mom always says I'm an 18 pound Frenchie that thinks I'm a Pitbull. I fear no one and nothing.
When you start fighting with Sharkey do you get a time out? I do, I hear - ZOE THAT'S IT - TIME OUT FOR YOU, then I know I'm in trouble. She makes me sit in my crate for a few mintues but I start crying and making the strangest noises that could ever come out of an animals mouth and she lets me out, works every time.
Nothing like a little rumble to get the blood flowing. Now I really want a play date.
way toooo cute! love the images of you pups chasing each other...can just hear you go..woogh,woogh,woogh as you are running around..speaking of chasing, mommie just brought me in, cause she saw a Fox running away from the house with a grey something in it's mouth...mommie ran out thinking it was me in the mouth, she followed the Fox into the woods and heard my bell around my neck, she whistled for me, she turned around and I surprised her by sitting behind her...well, I didn't know she was looking for me in that Fox's mouth!! she hugged me and told me how much she loved me, and said DON'T ever do that again! whew, ok already! meuw
Good morning Francesca and Sharkey: What a fantastic game to play - AMBUSH! I don't have any puppy friends that live in my house, so I play ambush with paper bags. That's the only stuff I can tear up and attack. I know better!! Mom and dad give them to me when they sense I need a little something to do. I just tear and shred, and tear and run and shred and run and run and run, especially in my back yard. They can never catch me cause I'm sooooo fast. HAHAHAHAHA! You two play alot of tricks on each other. How fun is that??? What a sweeeet deal that is. Well, must go and hunt down a paper bag. Take care and see ya later. Love, Gracyn.
Hi F&S!
No! Not for one minute did I think that the two of you kept poised and collected 100% of the time. But when it comes to the business of Martha, you both are true experts, and do your job above and beyond. We can *all* see *that*.
I know how dogs are. We're really all the same. We have our happy time, sad time, cleaned-up and combed acting *nice* time, our 'nobody loves me time', and our 'I don't love *anybody* time!
I suppose the important thing is to remain true to your feelings, yes? And right now I, uh, I, I'm COMING AROUND THE PERGOLA TO *GET* YOUR CUTE LITTLE CHICKEN LEGS!!! VIRTUAL AMBUSH!!!
Hello ladies, Kirby here.
When I see you playing "ambush" I am reminded of the Pink Panther movies where there was at least one ambush going on. I see that you don't tare up anything like they did in the movies. I don't have anyone to ambush at all, but my daddy goes into the back yard and I make a fake attack on him. I run as hard as I can and get as close to him as I can. He can't grab me unless I let him. Sometimes I hit him in the chest and almost knock him down. Fifty eight pounds hitting one at full speed really has some force. I think that middle age is catching up with me. Got to take another nap.
Catch you later, Kirby.
I wish I was there to play with you but I am busy napping! A beautiful day for you to play, glad you have each other to play with.
I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Mazart today.
Mozart crossed the rainbow bridge today along with my Yorkie friend Stewart who passed away today at age 13 1/2 Stewart was named after Martha and he lived in CT.
Mrs. Bosley Chow Chow
Mrrrow. I wemember when I was young 'n fwisky 'n I'd kick up my heels...it was so much fun. Daddy tells mommie all the time that I used to be a handful. (My halo is ALWAYS on stwaight now, tho'). Mommie started to giggle wight away - 'specialwy wif more photos to wook at this time. She narwated each photo wif her own words, too, as she fwipped fru 'em. She told me you puppiedoggies is cwazy. Prrr. =^..^=
Nice to kick back without Franny in my face
Wont be for long,though,maybe an hour of grace.
Sometimes you'd think she's from park Jurasic
Anyway,when she ambushes, its truly classic.
The thing that causes me most fear
Is when she attacks my poor little ear.
With one eye open,I'll watch for her crouch,
Then I'll scoot and pretend I'm a grouch.
When the tables are turned I'll pinch a thigh,
Wax on,wax off,soft and meaty,that'll make her cry.
Franny says,get away,she was only foolin'.
As I do my victory roll,must try to stop droolin'.
We both are good at sneak attacks,
A little Tai Chi and some clever whacks.
We never try to be really,really mean
We practise,live another day routine.
Time to go home, get a drink
Is there any saki left do ya think?
Franny at the back door,acting like a pup
She's thirsty too, love it when she's suckin' up.
Francesca et Sharkey vous regarder les deux adorables et mignons, love your pictures

Dynamic Karate$30.00Most books on karate usually do not provide complete, detailed instructions and illustrations-the fundamentals plus the fine points-that readers hope for. This book fills the gaps left by others.
The late Master Masatoshi Nakayama, chief instructor of the Japan Karate Association, left this book as a testament. It reveals his great experience as a karate competitor and teacher, describing and illustrating in detail all the correct movements involved in the particular block, punch, or kick you want to perfect, as well as instructions--on combining blocking techniques with decisive counterattacks. Also included is a glossary of all Japanese karate terms and a guide to their pronunciation.
Because of the lightning speed of karate techniques, normal camera work often fails to record the action accurately. For this reason, many of the photo sequences found in Dynamic Karate were taken using a stroboscope with a flash time of 1/10,000 of a second, enabling you to follow each movement as it is actually performed.

Japan's Complete Fighting System "Shin Kage Ryu"$35.00Shin Kage Ryu jujutsu has existed as a fighting system since the nineteenth century, and the literal meaning of the three Chinese characters is "spirit shadow way." Originating in J apan and influenced by Okinawan fighting systems, the art has evolved into one that ip.corporates karate-like kicks, punches, and strikes, as well as the throwing, grappling, and joint techniques of judo. Thus, Shin Kage Ryu is a complete fighting system, one that combines the best elements of karate with those of jujutsu.
The unique mix of disciplines in Shin Kage Ryu makes it possible to fight with an opponent in an upright position and, if necessary, take him to the ground and score a victory by grappling or choking. Students are also taught extensive attack and defense techniques with both the sword and knife.
Author of the successful Karate Training: The Samurai Legacy and Modern Practice, Robin L. Rielly has written this book as an introduction to Shin Kage Ryu for those unfamiliar with it, and to insure that the knowledge of this fighting art is not lost. It remains a pure martial art, and because it is not practiced in sporting contests, its kata are often closer to real combat. Although in some ways similar to karate kata, advanced black belts in karate agree that the kata of Shin Kage Ryu have a different feeling-one that is both powerful and effective. As such, this book is an essential handbook for every karate practitioner and enthusiast. Learn More

Pinarello frames have been ridden to victory in one-day road races like Milan-San Remo, Paris-Nice, Ghent-Wevelgem, Tour of Lombardy, and the Olympic Games. They've held their own—to say the least—in stage races as well, including countless stage victories, as well as overall victory, in the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France. The list of pros who found greatness riding a Pinarello is epic: Cipollini, Indurain, Riis, Zabel, Ullrich, Petacchi, Valverde, and Pereiro top the list. But it's not the Pinarello palmares that make it the most coveted frame on the market. As Fausto Pinarello once wrote, "a great bicycle can be great without a great rider. A winning bicycle brings together the expert of the artisan, the latest in technological innovation, a passion for the sport, and a fanatical attention to perfection."
Pinarello has earned a reputation for mastering new tubing technology before other builders even considered experimenting with it—first Dyna Lite and Excell steel, then SC61.10a and V107 aluminum, and in recent years AK61 magnesium and 651HM1K carbon fiber are some of the cutting edge raw materials used by Pinarello in recent times to manufacture bikes with an exquisite knack for overwhelming their owners' most optimistic expectations. Each time we take delivery on one we unbox something with equal parts artistic inspiration and technical merit. Few frames on the market can match the Dogma Carbon and Paris Carbon for their balance of beauty and ride quality. And these traits trickle down the line of Pinarello bikes, where the Razha, ROKH, and FP Quattro live up to the same standards at more affordable prices. Even if you don't have a ProTour-caliber sprint, you're still able to delight in Pinarello's groundbreaking designs, its hardheaded attention to detail, and its delicious paint and finish-work.

Cooperation between Nakamura and Kasparov already over
The cooperation between Hikaru Nakamura and Garry Kasparov was short-lived. Just before the start of the London Chess Classic the American grandmaster decided to continue working on his chess without the assistance of the 13th World Champion. This was reported on Thursday by Macauley Peterson in an article for Chess Life Online.
In 'Nakamura: Second, and Going Solo' Peterson wraps up the London Chess Classic for the American chess fans, and therefore focuses on Nakamura's performance in London. However, besides discussing his games the article includes the news about the end of the cooperation between Nakamura and Kasparov - a cooperation that was made public by Peterson as well in New in Chess Magazine issue 2011/07.
It basically started exactly a year ago in London. Nakamura said in the NIC interview:
I knew right away that I would definitely take up the offer simply because there are certain times – certain opportunities you have in life just don't come around that often, and certainly having the opportunity to work with, at least what I consider to be, the greatest chess player ever, is sort of an opportunity you can't turn down.
The following month was Nakamura's biggest triumph, when he finished clear first at the Tata Steel tournament in Wijk aan Zee. However, the rest of 2011 was mostly disappointing for Nakamura, who rarely managed to reach the level he was capable of. Except for the 3rd London Chess Classic, where he finished clear second behind Vladimir Kramnik. Peterson:
But this success bookends his short-lived collaboration with Kasparov. Shortly before the tournament, Nakamura decided to strike out on his own.
During the 7th round of the London Chess Classic it was Nakamura's turn to assist the commentators. Naturally he was asked about his cooperation with Kasparov. Nakamura explained that the two had mainly been working on openings, as this was Kasparov's strongest point. The American then added that during Kasparov's career, other players had been stronger in the middlegame and endgame, notably Vladimir Kramnik. Here's the full dialogue between GM Danny King and Nakamura (thx to Colin McGourty):
Now we're on that subject, tell us a little bit more about working with Garry Kasparov. Are you enjoying those sessions? Or enjoying is perhaps not the word. Do you feel you're getting something out of it?
I mean there's something to be gained. I think mainly it's the opening preparation he did with his team over the past 20, 25 years of his chess career. That's really the strength of working with someone like Kasparov. It's his opening preparation, because a lot of his wins came from just getting good positions out of openings against players. So, it's mainly just looking at openings and working from there. There are other things like studies and some endgames but it's pretty much the openings.
Oh right, so he doesn't sort of look at particular middlegames that much with you?
No, like I said, his strength was in openings. You look at middlegames or endgames and I'm quite convinced there are other players who were better than he was but he was able to get advantages out of the opening, so that was his main strength. And when he wasn't able to do that that's why he lost his title to Kramnik.
As simple as that?
Well, pretty much.
But your training sessions are continuing anyway?
We'll see.
Garry Kasparov actually visited the tournament in London, where he signed copies of his latest book Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Part 1: 1973-1985 (which will be reviewed very soon here at ChessVibes). According to Macauley Peterson,
he and Nakamura avoided speaking.

Kasparov is probably a very expensive but simply bad coach. He has managed to disappoint his highly talented and certainly hard-working pupils (Nakamura, Carlsen), both of them in a short time.

Well all these kids just go to Kasparov thinking that he will simply handover his openings database to them in a chessbase file and they don't need to work hard.

I guess this was te be expected and inevitable. Looks like Nakamura is not as dedicated to chess as Kasparov was (and maybe still is).
2 years 4 months ago
Amateurs buy opening books, SuperGMs rent Kasparov.
Kind of depressing for Kasparov.
2 years 4 months ago
Looks like an ego clash, doesn't it? And how good for the ego is borrowing Carlsen's coach, and having him inevitably make comparisons between them?
The only way was out.
2 years 4 months ago
I do feel sorry for kasparov. By all accounts, it is not that he ripped off his pupils by not caring or working for them, but, in the case of carlsen, actually put too much in and expected too much work from his student. The carlsen/kasparov split up seemed seems quite different to this one. Nakamura's cheap jibe at Kasparov at the chess classic will forever sully his name with me. Very ungrateful of him after Kasparov took on what is arguably a dubious case with the aim of making him 2800, at substantial risk to his own reputation...... I think Nakamura comes out of this looking bad.
2 years 4 months ago
Anything Naka does looks bad to you and some others here.
Richard, few doubt that Nakamura has great talent but it is the things that he says that makes him look bad. Carlsen said (in private) about his training with Kasparov "Get me out of this!" but in public he is very gracious when talking about his former coach (ref: http://whychess.org/node/3490 ) This shows a level of maturity that Nakamura lacks. As an American I want to root for him but he is going to have to try a little harder to control his tongue.
2 years 4 months ago
I think both Carlsen and Nakamura are right in their analysis of Kasparov. His strength was the opening preparation, and his style is a little to intense for good co-operation.
That said, Kasparov is still among the top 3 in chess-history, but not necessarily the best coach.
2 years 1 month ago
I don't think Kasparov is confined to openings as they claimed. If those two will play against gary, Gary would beat them in any level of the game. Gary is too strong for any player even at this moment. They just want a name for themselves apart from Gary..Something to do with ego.
2 years 4 months ago
Kasparov comes from a different age: the Botvinnik approach to chess which is super-hard work, and complete dedication to chess. Not sure with Carlsen, but certainly Nakamura is not willing to work in this style. Nakamura's comment about others being better than Kasparov in the middlegame(!) and endgame is cheap and uncalled for. Being world champ and clear No.1 from 1985 to 2000 is not too shabby.
2 years 4 months ago
you are totally right. naka is talented, but has the maturity of a 13 year old still.i guess he will never grow up. no wonder he is despised by so many.
2 years 4 months ago
the whole kasparov teaching Naka is just a big excuse. kasparov just wanted a very strong blitz partner because its blitz chess thats hes participating these days.
2 years 4 months ago
An interesting assessment, and probably a true one.Kasparov probably worked harder than any other world champion other than maybe Fischer.
People are taking offense and jumping to defend Kasparov but Nakamura also said he was the "greatest chess player ever."
Nakamura was honest about his assessment of Kasparov's strengths and weaknesses. This was not based on speculation but, more than likely, a deep study of his games that is available to everyone. The differences in strengths and weaknesses is relative to the level (top 10-15 )Nakamura and Kasparov are at there is a fine line. Kasparov did lose to Kramnik due to opening prep, beating his head on the Berlin wall and as for his assessment of endgames Aagaard said the same about endgames and Kasparov as well. It is all relative.
As a bare minimum what they should take away from working with Kasparov is his passion for winning and work ethic.
2 years 4 months ago
Kasparov's attitude is inspiring. There is no doubt he has had a major influence on both players.
But it is also fully understandable that strong men like Carlsen and Nakamura would have difficulty coping with Kasparov's ways. He's one of those 'with me or against me' people and as long as you are 'with them' they are great fun, but they can get wearisome when you're (perceived to be) 'against them'.
I'd say the lads should just appreciate the input from Garry and I'm grateful to Magnus and Hikaru that they distracted him from doing the Banker's dirty work in Russia.

The guy Naka considers (considered?) to be the best player ever was not the best middlegame and/or endgame player. So openings are what chess is all about. So let's play the king's gambit, and e4 e5 Qh5! I wish someone would ask him the question: are you a better "middlegame and endgame player" (which must be very different from a regular chess player) than Kasparov was?
2 years 4 months ago
I think that Carlsen and Nakamura dropping Kasparov as a coach is less of a reflection on Kasparov's coaching abilities and instead more of a reflection on the fact that young people today are less willing to work hard. Carlsen might make WC on his own talent, but not Nakamura. Bad move.
Remco G
2 years 4 months ago
I don't agree. Would Kasparov once he was a top-10 player accept anyone as a coach? Of course not!
Nakamura and Carlsen obviously have big egos, you need that to reach the world top in any sport. They have very strong ideas of their own. I think they're beyond the level where coaches in general can be beneficial.
2 years 4 months ago
You did not think that over too well. One can be the "strongest" player (ie highest rated?), but every player as -relatively- strong and weak points. Carlsen and certainly Naka are no different. So if the right coach is chosen to work with, everybody can learn. Even the strongest player in the world.
As for Naka, I'd hire father time as coach. Clearly his greatest challenge is to divide his time over the game in an optimal way. And he may be a bit more humble when talking about great players such as Kasparov. He is nowhere near as legendary as Kasp.
"Would Kasparov once he was a top-10 player accept anyone as a coach? Of course not!"
Actually, Kasparov had a coach for all of his career. One of Kasparovs great strenghts was working with numerous grandmasters, ex-world champions among them, and learning from them.
"I think they're beyond the level where coaches in general can be beneficial."
Have you actually seen Nakamuras games? One does not need to be a grandmaster to notice obvious holes in his chess education. The fact that he is top player despite this, is truly amazing!
2 years 4 months ago
I think Kasparovs ego is what spoiled these cooperations. I don´t think naka or magnus are less dedicated to chess. They just go about it in a different way. Kasparov wants to get beck in to elite chess and has tried to do it by proxy. My suggestion to him is: start playing again Garry!
2 years 4 months ago
I think the tutoring ended because Kasparov didn't have much left to offer them. I mean, Nakamura was 2770+, Carlsen was 2800+, and they were both capable of beating the world's best and winning the most elite events. What is Kasparov really going to offer such immensely strong and talented players for 2, 3, 4+ years? The lessons had to end eventually; one year is plenty for a top player to round out a few aspects of the game with help from a former world champion.
Pal G.

This makes too much sense! Good comment. However, if it is true why do they not look at or speak to each other?? Sensationalism by the press?
I think Kasparov's next client should be Gelfand ;)
Gelfand was always Kasparov's client, even more than Anand was :-)
"What is Kasparov really going to offer such immensely strong and talented players for 2, 3, 4+ years?"
Any well educated Soviet school GM would be a benefit for Nakamura for many years. He still has so much to learn. Just look at his win over Anand - he was playing KID with a tempo down! Imagine how strong he would be, if he improved his openings? He has a lot to work on in engames and strategy also.
The problem is:
1. Naka needed a GM coach in his youth, especially teens. He didn't get that, and that's a glaring gap, the cause of Carlsen's trash-talking.
2. Kasparov cannot patch up Naka's lack of a complete training program in a few sessions. Kasp is busy, and he's expensive.
It appears Naka will remain an untrained talent (relatively speaking to other 2700s) for the rest of his career. He doesn't outplay opponents in "regular positions" as others do, but must rely on raw talent in complex positions where he is worse. This is not a recipe for a long stay at the top. The moment his tactical sharpness declines, he will take a sharp dive.
The players who hang around have strong positional/universal styles.
My take on this: As for most if not all "divorces", both sides probably have at least partial responsibility or blame for it. I see no need to feel sorry for Kasparov (if nothing else, his bank account benefitted from the cooperation), nor for calling him a bad coach. After all, he was rather successful with Carlsen, to the point that Magnus considered him redundant(!?), and not as successful with Nakamura. It's at least interesting that - over the whole of 2011 - Nakamura's best results were in January (at the very start of their cooperation) and December (when it was already over) - too much pressure in between??
What's next for Rex Sinquefield? Will he continue to support Nakamura the way he did?
What's next for Kasparov? Rather than the names mentioned so far (Anand and Gelfand), methinks his next customer could be Anish Giri whose working attitude may differ from Carlsen and Nakamura - at least that's my impression or semi-educated guess ... . But will Giri find a rich sponsor to cover the attached pay cheque?
"not as successful with Nakamura"
It wasn't a disaster either, Nakamura did win a very strong Wijk aan Zee and was an inch from winning also a very strong London, then some results in between were clearly worse but if not for that weird loss on time against Vallejo he might have won also the Grand Slam final.
"Clearly worse" is quite an understatement with respect to Bazna, Dortmund and Tal Memorial: in all cases, Nakamura was at least close to last place (or last of the 2700+ participants) ... .
And I wonder how much credit for Nakamura's London result can go to Kasparov, actually for two reasons:
- Nakamura didn't get any advice from Garry during the event, and it seems that he didn't listen to whichever earlier advice he got. Particularly if it was indeed mostly or exclusively about openings - it certainly wasn't Kasparov's suggestion to play the KID a tempo down against Anand, and the King's Gambit against Adams!
- While the tournament went all right (rather than just alright) for Nakamura, it could have, again, gone all wrong: he couldn't really complain if he had scored 0.5/3 rather than 3/3 against the A-team Aronian, Anand and Adams ... unless Kasparov specifically taught him how to win from inferior positions. I don't mean to debate whether Nakamura was lucky or not - just make a point that the player, and not the coach won these games.
"Nakamura didn't get any advice from Garry during the event"
No, but you can benefit in other ways than by getting advice during an event, maybe Nakamura will score better results than in 2009-10 also after the cooperation has ended. Otherwise I don't think one can just compare the results of Carlsen and Nakamura and say that the cooperation with Nakamura was less successful because his results were worse.
Nakamura was #15 and 60 points behind third place when the cooperation started but 6th half a year later. Already months before starting the cooperation with Kasparov Carlsen had been only 5 points from first place on the rating list, and apart from that he was five years younger. Nakamura has been playing everything and everywhere in 2011 and his results have been uneven, but he has become a very strong top player with great results against players like Anand and Kramnik. Carlsen's cooperation with Kasparov was closer, but to me both cooperations were rather successful for those involved.
Giri? Really? Giri? Are you joking or dreaming? Both maybe?
Actually I am at least half-serious: after all, Kramnik considered Giri a future threat and/or colleague at the absolute world top. Not sure though how much Kramnik's opinion matters to Kasparov ... another possibility (but now I am joking) is that a few years from now a retired Kramnik might become Giri's coach - he certainly knows Giri's remaining weak spots!
Anyway, who else? There aren't (m)any young players left who already reached the top10. I don't think Kasparov will work with Radjabov, no matter how much oil industry money the Azeris propose (which also seems quite unlikely). And Karjakin seems perfectly fine with Kasparov's former coach Dokhoian.

I think ambition and curiosity made that both Carlsen and Naka thought something like: "..well, people say so much marvelous about this guy...let's see what he has in his wallet..." Then, after knowing what was inside Kaspy's wallet, they found: "...well, that's all? let's split..." Young guys want to pickup instantly all secrets of the world with no effort...
2 years 4 months ago
at the press conference in london, from what i saw, everyone avoided talking to naka. the rest of the gm's were talking and joking...
Is it possible that Carlsen's blatant attempt to drive a wedge between Kasp and Naka worked? Remember the interview of a month ago? - in which Carlsen deliberately mentioned that Kasp did not think much of Naka's ability.
I think that may have done it. LOL. Carlsen 1 - 0 Nakamura off-the-board as well.
Of course the most beneficial work with Kasparov would be in openings preperation and work ethics. I would be very surprized if Nakamura would be taught something in the endgame by Kasparov.
The difference between GMs and everyone below is their mastery of Endgames and Tacktics. Then there is a distinct difference between GMs and Super GMs, and that's all in openings to suit a player's specific style/temperament and specific strength.
I'm sure Kasparov can teach Nakamura developed lines and secrets in the Kings Indian. He used KI to remain on top for many years.
To draw the opponent into opening preperation (Homeorked lines) where a player get a small but game lasting advantage (Unless he blunders).
Once a superGM has a small advantage, they know how to build on it and keep increasing this into a full win (Kramnik is one of the best at this!).
One thing that Garry cannot teach Nakamura or Carlsen is accurate calculation of lines (He is the best at it, but he can only do it in positions that are suited for his style...).
Obviousley, when Kramnik found he can exchange Queens, and draw Kasparov to a boring Berlin position where there are no takctical possibilities... and it's easy for Black to draw.. he used it to his advantage.
With Carlsen and Kasparov it was rediculous media comparisons.
Carlsen plays 1.e4 and everyone jumps saying this must be something Kasparov has taught him. Or when he played scotch 1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nc6 3.d4 ("This MUST be Kasparov's influence...") Look,I'm sure Carlsen has played Scotch plenty of times before he met or worked with Kasparov... (specific subtle lines...is another matter).

Georgia Regents Health System plays a critical role in boosting Augusta's financial health. A Georgia Hospital Association study released in May 2012 reported that Georgia Regents Medical Center pumped $1.04 billion into the local economy in fiscal year 2010, up $26 million from 2009 for the not-for-profit health system. Additionally, Georgia Regents University's academic and research initiatives generated more than $832 million locally, according to a 2010 University System of Georgia report, for a combined impact of $1.9 billion.
Georgia Regents Medical Center employees volunteer their time in our community and contribute to its health, education and well being by supporting various community organizations, including the United Way of the CSRA, the American Cancer Society, Golden Harvest Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House and American Heart Association.
Georgia Regents Health System has long recognized that art plays an important role in healing. There are pianos in two of the hospital entrances, and local musicians, including harpists and guitarists, play regularly for patients as additional therapeutic "medicine." Georgia Regents Health System commissioned regional artists to create art for the Cancer Center, which opened in 2009. The result is more than 100 pieces in a combination of genres throughout the two-story facility, including the Ribbons of Hope sculpture, which cascades above the stairwell, serving as a focal point in the building's atrium. Local and regional art is now being used throughout the adult hospital, including pieces by Lucy Weigle outside the Heart Rhythm Center on the eighth floor. In the Children' Hospital of Georgia, student-created murals are displayed in side the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit so that the view from each child's bed reveals bright, colorful, kid-friendly art pieces.
In keeping with our philosophy on the healing power of arts, Georgia Regents Health System is the presenting sponsor of Augusta's annual Westobou Festival, an acclaimed arts event that draws visitors from across the Southeast. The Westobou Festival encompasses 10 days of cultural events featuring local, regional and nationally-recognized artists primarily in the disciplines of dance, music, theater and visual arts.
As the patient care provider on the Georgia Regents University campus, the hospitals and clinics of Georgia Regents Medical Center provide the opportunity for hundreds of nurses, residents and clinical students to hone their patient care skills. We also help fund the education of numerous Georgia Regents University students through a margin allocation. To date, Georgia Regents Medical Center, has transferred nearly $94.3 million to Georgia Regents University to support its education and research mission.
