I chose Emma-Claude's based on its location near to my friend's house, and how nice the house looked for such a reasonable price. The house was true to the photos and description, very clean and tidy and easy to settle into. We ended up going out in Gateshead that night and it was a really easy drive back to the house. It was also easy to get out of the city the following morning for me to continue my journey north. Emma-Claude managed the booking process very professionally so there were literally no problems at all. Highly recommended and I would definitely stay again.
We had a lovely weekend in Newcastle. I did not get to meet Emma but she was very helpful via Air BnB. They also got the hot tub out for us which made the trip that extra bit special. We were expecting 4 bedrooms but there are 3. It however didn't matter for us because we only had 6 people staying. The kitchen/living area is lovely and spacious. We wish we could have stayed another night. The accommodation has a private drive which was very useful as taxi prices into town seemed quite expensive. Overall a lovely modern house perfect for our leisurely trip to Newcastle. Thank you!! Megan

Flag of Kosovo - Wikipedia
The flag of the Republic of Kosovo[a] was adopted by the Assembly of Kosovo immediately following the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo from Serbia [2] on 17 February 2008.[2][3] The flag is the result of an international design competition, organized by the United Nations-backed Kosovo Unity Team, which attracted almost one thousand entries.[4] The now-used design was proposed by Muhamer Ibrahimi.[5] It shows six white stars in an arc above a golden map of Kosovo on a blue field.[6] The stars symbolize Kosovo's six major ethnic groups.[7]
5:7 (1:1.4 by law)[1]
17 February 2008 (2008-02-17)[2]
A blue field charged with a map of Kosovo in gold, surmounted by an arc of six, white five-pointed stars, in the center
Before the declaration of independence, Kosovo was under the administration of the United Nations and used the UN flag for official purposes. The Serb and Albanian populations had used their own national flags since the Socialist Yugoslavia period. The Serbs use a red, blue and white tricolor, which forms the basis of the current flag of Serbia. The Albanian population have used the flag of Albania since the 1960s as their ethnic flag. Both flags can still be seen and used within Kosovo.
The flag of Kosovo has a blue background, charged with a map of Kosovo and six stars. The stars are officially meant to symbolize Kosovo's six major ethnic groups:[7] Albanians, Serbs, Turks, Gorani, Romani (often grouped with the Ashkali and Egyptians)[8] and Bosniaks. Unofficially, the stars are sometimes said to represent the six regions, which according to Albanian ultra nationalist ideology, make up Greater Albania: Albania, Kosovo, western parts of North Macedonia, parts of northern Greece, parts of Montenegro and Preševo Valley in southern Serbia.[9] The flag of Kosovo resembles that of Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of colors and shapes used (white stars and yellow shape of the country on a blue field).[10] The flag is unusual among national flags in using a map as a design element; the flag of Cyprus is the only other to do so.[11][12] The ratio of the flag was announced during the contest as 2:3,[13] however with the passage of a diplomatic protocol law in Kosovo in April 2009, the ratio was set as 1:1.4 (5:7 when put in whole numbers).[1] The colors and construction of the Kosovo flag have not yet been defined; however, an official government document does give the colors of the flag using CMYK.[14] The unofficial RGB values of the flag have been manually extracted since 2009.[15] The use of the Kosovo flag is regulated by the law: "Law on the Use of Kosovo State Symbols".[16] However, the Serbian government objects to the use of the Kosovo flag at international meetings and gatherings.[17]
Colours and sizesEdit
Use of Albanian and Serbian flags in KosovoEdit
The Albanian flag remains popular with Kosovar Albanians.
As Serbia does not recognize the 2008 secession of Kosovo and considers it a United Nations-governed entity within its sovereign territory, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, as defined by the 2006 Constitution of Serbia.[19]
Even months after Kosovo's declaration of independence, the Serbian flag was still seen at official government buildings until officially replaced by the Kosovar government.[20] Flags of Serbia and Serbian Orthodox Church were used in protests against Kosovo independence and still can be seen in Serb-majority areas in the north.[21]

Kosovo in SFR YugoslaviaEdit
Until 2008, Kosovo did not have a flag of its own. However, during different periods of history, different flags were flown in Kosovo. Before 1969, the only flags that could legally fly over Kosovo (then an autonomous province) were those of SFR Yugoslavia and SR Serbia. If a nationalist flag were flown, such as Albanian, Serbian or Croatian, a person could go to prison for doing so.[23]
Kosovo under United Nations administrationEdit
When Kosovo was under the administration of the United Nations, the UN flag was flown in Kosovo. However, the flag used by the Kosovar Albanian population was the Albanian flag.[31] The Albanian flag was also used on public buildings, even though it was against UN regulations. Regulations stated only the UN flag and other authorized flags, like those of cities, could fly on public buildings. If the Albanian flag did have to go up, then the Serbian flag must go up too, according to UN regulations. However, this was never done in practice and the flag of Albania was ever-present in Kosovo during the UNMIK period.[31][32]
Competition for a new flagEdit
A competition for a new flag, held in June 2007, received 993 entries.[33] Under the terms of UN talks, all such symbols would have to reflect the multi-ethnic nature of Kosovo,[13] avoiding the use of the Albanian or Serbian double-headed eagles or the use of solely red and black or red, blue and white color schemes. Red and black are the colors used on the Albanian flag; red, blue and white are the main colors used on the Serbian flag. Additionally, all entries had to be rectangular and have a 2:3 proportion. The Kosovo Symbols Commission eventually selected three designs,[4] which were then voted on by the Assembly of Kosovo (with a two-thirds majority required for approval), when independence was declared after the status talks.[34] The three proposals selected were forwarded to the Assembly on 4 February 2008.[35]
The proposals and final choiceEdit

The assembly voted on 17 February 2008 to use a variant of the first proposal. The modified version has an additional star, makes the stars equal in size, switches the colors of the stars and map, makes the map bigger, and arranges the stars in a curve above the map.[6]

mythology - What is the Agni Savitra Vidya that Indra taught to sage Bharadvaja? - Hinduism Stack Exchange
In this excerpt from the Taittiriya Brahmana of the Yajur Veda, a story is told involving Indra and the sage Bharadvaja. Bharadvaja spent three successive births practicing Brahmacharya in order to learn the Vedas fully, and wanted to take a fourth birth to do the same, but then Indra told him that this is futile since the Vedas are infinite. And then Indra taught Bharadvaja something called the Agni Savitra, which led to great results in the afterlife:
Bharadvaja lived through three lives in the state of a religious student (brahmacharyya). Indra approached him when he was lying old and decrepit, and said to him: 'Bharadvaja, if I give thee a fourth life, how wilt thou employ it;?' 'I will lead the life of a religious student,' he replied. He (Indra) showed him three mountain-like objects, as it were unknown. From each of them he took a handful: and, calling to him, 'Bharadvaja,' said, 'These are the Vedas. The Vedas are infinite. This is what thou hast studied during these three lives. Now there is another thing which thou hast not studied, come and learn it. This is the universal science.' He declared to him this Agni Savitra. Having known it he (Bharadvaja) became immortal, and ascended to the heavenly world, to union with the sun. He who knows this ascends to heaven, to union with the sun. This is the triple Vedic science. He who knows this conquers a world as great as he would gain by the triple Vedic science.
My question is, what is this Agni Savitra that Indra taught to Bharadvaja? The reason I'm interested in it is that the Advaita philosopher Vidyaranya discusses this story in this excerpt from his Jivanmukti Viveka, and he says that Indra imparted to Bharadvaja knowledge of Saguna Brahman:
[Shastra Vasana] is of three kinds... The first kind of this vice is seen in Bharadvaja who, though he applied himself to the Veda in three successive lives, began, on being incited by Indra, to study the remainder of Vedic lore even in the fourth. As this kind of study has no end, and is, therefore, impossible to accomplish, it is set down among impure Vasanah. Indra, of course, cured Bharadvaja of this vice by enlightening him into the knowledge of Brahman with character. This has been described in the Taittiriya Brahmana.
That makes the Agni Savitra sound like it's akin to the 32 Brahmavidyas, lessons found in various Upanishads which can lead you to Brahman if you meditate upon them. So what information about about Saguna Brahman (i.e. the supreme Brahman according to non-Advaitin schools) did Indra impart to Bharadvaja?

Tales from the Lake Shore: 08/01/2003 - 09/01/2003
--Today must have been cheap wedding dress day at the Filene's Basement on Michigan Avenue. I got off the bus, and there was this huge long line out the door. For those of you who are familiar with where I am talking about, the line appeared to be up the escalator (there is this huge escalator when you enter to get up to the first floor of the store, which I think is on like the third or fourth floor), down past Borders, around the corner, and all the way to Bistro 110.
That started me thinking: If I were to get married, would I want to wait in line with hundreds of other women waiting to look at cheap dresses? Wait for hours to get into a fitting room? As much as getting a cheap wedding dress would be awesome, I'm going to have to go with no.
--It's a beautiful day.

--As I was on the el on my way to work today, a woman with 2 young children came and sat next to me. Of the the children was a baby who was in one of those carry-all things on her chest. He was really cute, but it made me really unhappy when he reached over and grabbed my watch and yanked on it. He was probably only 6 months old, but he had quite a grip. And his mom didn't even say anything to him, didn't try to get his hand away from my watch, nothing. And I was afraid to pull my arm away for fear the watch would break. If I had done that as a baby, my mom would have grabbed my arm and apologized to whoever's watch I was grabbing. But not this mom.
--I've been in a classic hockey jersey mood lately. I really want one of those light blue Quebec Nordiques jerseys. Or an old Minnesota North Stars jersey. I actually have a North Stars jersey, but it was the new style, the one they had right before they packed up for Dallas. I want one of those old green ones with the N. I got in this mood a few months ago when I wore my Hartford Whalers jersey for the first time in a couple of years. I have one of the blue ones, though. I want a green one. Oh, and remember when the New Jersey Devils' colors were green and red instead of black and red? Oh yeah! Oh, and the Colorado team (were they the Rockies?) with that rainbow. Yeah baby! Classic NHL! I found a store in Manitoba that still sells those old jerseys, and I think will customize them for you as well. That is a URL I will be sending the family before Christmas time.

Perioperative complications within 30 days of hypospadias surgery: Results from NSQIP-Pediatrics — Oregon Health & Science University
Perioperative complications within 30 days of hypospadias surgery: Results from NSQIP-Pediatrics
Da David Jiang, Nicholas H. Chakiryan, Kyle A. Gillis, Ann Martinez Acevedo, J. Christopher Austin, Casey Seideman
Introduction: There are no large multi-institutional studies reporting on perioperative complications of hypospadias repairs. We sought to determine perioperative complications of hypospadias repairs from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatrics (NSQIP-P) to aid in patient counseling. Study design: This cohort study from 2012 to 2017 was conducted using NSQIP-P database. Pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery were identified and compared based on 4 major categories: distal/midshaft repair, one-stage repair proximal, stage one repair, and stage two repair. Baseline demographics between the four groups and perioperative parameters were compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis models including type of repair was used to determine associations with overall complications, infectious complications, and dehiscence. Discussion: There were 11,292 patients identified in the study population. Overall, 78% underwent distal/midshaft hypospadias repair, 12% underwent one-stage proximal repair, 1.4% underwent proximal first stage repair and 9% underwent proximal second stage repair. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that proximal first stage procedures had similar overall complications to distal/mid repairs but proximal one-stage and proximal second stage procedures were associated with significantly more overall complications, local infectious complications, and dehiscence. Age, race, operative time, prematurity were also independently associated with increased overall complications. As expected, complication rates are higher in those with proximal hypospadias. In staged hypospadias, first stage has a lower complication rate compared to second stage. All complications, especially of infectious and dehiscence are the highest in the one-stage proximal and proximal second stage repairs. Conclusion: We report large multi-institutional analysis of 30-day peri-operative hypospadias repair complications; this information is useful for patient counseling and education. [Table presented]

Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that proximal first stage procedures had similar overall complications to distal/mid repairs but proximal one-stage and proximal second stage procedures were associated with significantly more overall complications, local infectious complications, and dehiscence. Age, race, operative time, prematurity were also independently associated with increased overall complications. As expected, complication rates are higher in those with proximal hypospadias. In staged hypospadias, first stage has a lower complication rate compared to second stage. All complications, especially of infectious and dehiscence are the highest in the one-stage proximal and proximal second stage repairs. Conclusion: We report large multi-institutional analysis of 30-day peri-operative hypospadias repair complications; this information is useful for patient counseling and education. [Table presented]

When Mamoru and Usagi breakup, it’s heartbreaking. But at the end of the day, it isn’t as sad as this scene. When Mamoru dumps Usagi, he makes the conscious decision to protect her over himself and she aware of that. When Mamoru dies, he was literally just fondly looking at a picture of himself with his future wife and daughter!!! He couldn’t protect himself, but he plants the “seed” of doubt (har har) in Galaxia’s head that the Sailor Soldiers can defeat her. His last word is her name, he’s calling out to her, apologizing even, that he wasn’t strong enough.
And then poor Usagi in this scene. She has spent the ENTIRE season bawling her eyes out because Mamo-chan proposed to her, and then forgot all about her. Seiya has confused her heart, because Seiya has been there and been consoling her, and even though her heart belongs to Mamoru she is crushed that he hasn’t even tried to contact her. When she finds out that he’s been dead this whole time, not only is she struck by the grief of the fact that he is dead, but she’s also hit by all of the truths that come to her
mamo-chan didn’t forget about me, he was deadi accidentally went on dates and such with seiya, while mamoru was deadi didn’t even consider that mamoru was in danger
The animation in this scene is really beautiful. It really conveys Usagi’s emotions. Her, grasping her face, trembling from her sobs. Her face everytime we get to see it is absolutely heart-wrenching.
What I am trying to say is this scene in this episode tore my heart apart

The Teaching Zone : August 2015
Back to School Dreams by Andrew Jobson
I don’t usually remember my dreams, but the time of year is approaching when some of my most vivid dreams have occurred. I remember one where I was back on stage for my senior play, Oklahoma! Unfortunately, I could no longer remember my lines—I was very surprised to find myself on stage and wondered how on earth I had gotten there. Of
course, all eyes were on me, and I stumbled through “It’s a Scandal, It’s an Outrage” as best I could, but it was extremely embarrassing. However, at least one other dream topped it. In this one, I was standing in front of a classroom of teenagers, and I found myself trying desperately to think of what I was supposed to be teaching. Once again, I felt as though I had dropped into another dimension with no preparation. To further my distress, I realized a few minutes into the dream that I had somehow forgotten to wear slacks.
That was probably the dream that helped me figure out what was going on. (Some of you may be saying at this point, what took you so long?) Why did these dreams tend to occur in late summer? Because I was worrying about getting back up in front of a classroom and not being prepared, of having my weaknesses exposed. Such dreams were a spur to throw myself back into planning after a few months doing something else.
I’m not sure whether to be grateful for these dreams, or not. Thankfully, they seem to have diminished in more recent years. Of course, maybe that’s just because, after twenty years in the classroom, my memory is getting weaker rather than the dreams.

What to Do on the First Day by Scott Harris
"Why are we here?" I ask my new students. "Why did you come to school today?"
Typically, they are stunned by the question. Their faces seem to be asking, "Where are the rules? The syllabi? Why are you asking us to talk on the first day?"
By now, some student will say, "Because there's a law!" After the laughs quiet down, I ask, "So the law is why you came here today? If there were no law, you wouldn't be here?" (Ninety percent of such clever students don't respond. They realize that they are here for more than the law.) We rapid-fire a list of their reasons: to see their friends, they're bored from the summer, to learn, etc.
Quickly, the better students start connecting education with the quality of their future. While this is hopeful, it is also shallow. They say, "We're here to learn so we can get good grades."
I ask, "Why do you need good grades?"
They respond, "So we can get into a good college?"
"So you got up today to get good grades, so you can get into a good college?"
"And what then, after college?" In a satirical tone, I pretend I am one of them. "I don't know, sir, good grades, good college, good life. No one told me I had to think past that."
I ask, "What is the good life after college?"
One student inevitably suggests making lots of money, but others quickly pick this apart. Eventually one will offer, "To be happy."
"What does it mean to be happy?"
"Are you going to give us any answers," exclaims a frustrated student, "or just keep asking us questions?"
"I ask questions," I say. "I'm still figuring out some of these myself. But it seems to me that while happiness may be subjective, there are certain characteristics of human nature -- love, respect, security, and yes, even a certain amount of money -- that are necessary to be happy."
We start discussing what a liberal art education is and how it contributes not only to good grades and college, but the good life. ("Why take Chemistry?" I ask. You can imagine the line of questioning.)
By now, the bell catches us and there are lots of groans in disappointment. "That went so fast." "This was just getting interesting!" "I want to talk about this more!"
I tell them, "I guess you'll have to come back tomorrow."
Walking out, I hear them say to each other, "This class is different" and "How come we don't talk about this in our other classes?"
What a shame that students can go until their junior year without really having talked much about why we're here.
Talking about why we're here has made the first day of school my favorite day.
During his 25 year career in education, Scott Harris has taught U.S. & World History, Philosophy, I.B.’s Theory of Knowledge, and coached swimming & water polo. He currently teaches AP Psychology & Macroeconomics at Ronald Regan H.S. in San Antonio, TX.

Imagine, if you will...a classroom filled with enrapt, engaged, enthralled students, hanging on your every word...

A Painter Takes His Work back to the People : Street Art : In the wake of the L.A. riots, football player-turned-artist Ernie Barnes has a stern--but positive--message to deliver to the city's poor, especially children. - Los Angeles Times
A Painter Takes His Work back to the People : Street Art : In the wake of the L.A. riots, football player-turned-artist Ernie Barnes has a stern--but positive--message to deliver to the city’s poor, especially children.
Perhaps it’s easy for Ernie Barnes to prod, to encourage, to scold from where he now stands.
Raised in a Southern ghetto, he parlayed football prowess into a college degree and a brief career in the professional leagues. After that he became a painter, employing a highly personal style that has been ignored by critics but embraced by such influential collectors as Ethel Kennedy, Norman Lear and Bill Cosby. In 1984, at what may have been the pinnacle of his public exposure, he was named the official artist of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
These days, a Barnes original commands upward of $18,000. Art has paid for a gated home in Studio City and a Mercedes-Benz to park in the driveway. The painter exudes bravado--a burly physique and wide-brimmed hat, epaulets and a cigar.
Yet wrapped inside this package is a thoughtful and gentle demeanor. Barnes winces at the suggestion that he has forgotten where he came from, the hardship of his youth. In the wake of the Los Angeles riots, he is determined to deliver a message to the city’s poor and especially the children.
“If a young kid wants to look at Ernie Barnes, he would have to realize that nothing magic brought me here,” the 53-year-old painter said. “Whatever I am today, you see the residue of struggle. There’s no other prescription for success.”
What would he tell the looters and rioters? The words are blunt: “You can wallow in your hurt and that can be valid. But don’t bring it to me and don’t bring other people down.”
Barnes has taken this message to the streets the best way he knows how. A painting of his--depicting three children of different colors huddled around a flower that sprouts from cracked pavement--has been enlarged and mounted on a billboard overlooking the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Homeland Drive, in the area of the rioting.
“We all can overcome hurt,” he said, by way of elaboration. “We do it through positive means.”
Barnes’ paintings most often depict rigorous action. He began his art career by portraying what he knew best: football players. Later, he focused on scenes such as girls skipping rope in an alley, men gossiping in a barber shop and a nightclub crowd being raucous. These tableaux were used as backdrops for the closing credits of the 1970s television series “Good Times.”
“What he does is capture the essence of black urban lifestyles,” said Loris Crawford, director of the Savacou Gallery in New York. Barnes, one of the first African-American painters to have his work widely reproduced and sold on the commercial market, is among the gallery’s most popular artists. “The type of work he does has a mass appeal. Most African-Americans are familiar with his work through ‘Good Times’ and because he did a cover for a Marvin Gaye album.”
The inhabitants of his art are almost always in motion, their limbs stretched like rubber bands. “It’s an effort to relay the truth of what I experienced,” Barnes said. “When you are running, you know what the muscles feel like. It’s an elongated feeling.” And, in a strikingly stylistic touch, nearly every one of the people he depicts has closed eyes.
“I started doing that in the early 1970s when I realized how blind we all are to each other’s humanity,” the painter said. “We can’t see the gifts and the potential in other humans around us.”
An exception is a portrait of Mother Clara Hale, whose Hale House in Harlem cares for babies who are born addicted to drugs. “Someone who gives as much love as Mother Hale, and it doesn’t matter what color the babies are, I couldn’t paint her with closed eyes. Her eyes are wide open.”
Art historians have labeled Barnes a neo-Mannerist and compared him to such predecessors as George Bellows, an early 20th-Century realist, and Thomas Hart Benton, a regionalist painter who gained notoriety in the 1930s.
Barnes’ paintings “clearly illuminate that hope and poignantly portray that steady concern Ernie feels for his fellows,” wrote John Stuart Evans, director of the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York, which has represented him since 1966. Evans praised “the clarity and vigor” of the artist’s vision.
Barnes began developing that vision as a child. His mother worked as a maid for a wealthy Durham, N.C., attorney and sometimes brought her young son along. The attorney, a man named Fuller, would show him pictures in art history books.
“By the time I started first grade, I knew Rembrandt,” Barnes recalled. “I knew the works of Michelangelo.”
Drawing became a best friend to the pudgy, shy boy who was often teased at school. Creation was an escape. But when puberty came along, Barnes literally grew out of art.
He began exercising and made the high school football team. North Carolina Central University later offered him a scholarship to play offensive guard. Barnes eventually graduated with a degree in art, but the gridiron took precedence.
“It was easy for me to say that I could always paint later, but I couldn’t always be a football player,” he recalled.
The Baltimore Colts thought highly enough of his skills to draft him in 1960, but the 6-3, 250-pound guard didn’t make the team. Fate may have played a hand because he wound up in the rival American Football League playing for the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers’ quarterback was Jack Kemp, who, years later as a U.S. congressman, would help get him named to the Olympic post.
Over the next five years, Barnes took the journeyman’s path through football, playing in Denver for a while and spending an injury-shortened season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.
“I brought a different frame of reference to football,” he said. “While I was playing, I had flashes of shapes that I’d seen in art books. I realized I was participating in an art.”
So when it came time to retire, in 1965, the decision to return to painting was easy. Making a living as a painter, however, seemed daunting.
The first thing Barnes did was visit hotel magnate Barron Hilton, a part-owner of the Chargers, and ask for a job as the AFL’s official artist. Hilton agreed to propose the matter to other team owners. He also paid Barnes $1,000 to produce a portrait of the Chargers’ star wide receiver, Lance Alworth.
Soon after, Sonny Werblin, owner of the New York Jets, summoned Barnes to New York. “He said, ‘Let me see what you can do,’ ” Barnes recalled. So the budding artist flew across the country and carried 18 paintings on the subway, then waited outside a gallery while Werblin deliberated.
The businessman walked out of the gallery and put his arm around Barnes.
“He asked me how much I’d made playing football the year before,” Barnes said. “I told him it was about $13,500. He paid me my football salary plus $1,000 and told me to paint for a year.”
Werblin arranged for Barnes to have his first exhibition, in 1966, at the Grand Central Art Galleries. The painter sold 12 pieces and his career was launched.
“Mr. Werblin told me, ‘Now it’s all up to you.’ ”
There have been lean times over the past 26 years, times when Barnes ran low on money. He had five children to support over the course of three marriages. Other African-American artists, such as Charles White, provided him with inspiration to persevere. And he says he was always able to sell a painting when he absolutely needed to.
A particularly successful 1973 show in Atlanta paid for the San Fernando Valley home, which mirrors the artist himself with its bright gardens and, inside, a working den that is brooding enough for an English manor. He lives there with third wife Bernie and sometimes meets neighbor Alex Karras, the football player-turned-actor, at a nursery where both men shop for flowers.
In recent years, Barnes has stayed busy enough to require a personal assistant. He painted a hockey scene for Jerry Buss and a 20-foot mural, filled with scenes from the first four “Rocky” films, for Sylvester Stallone. He is working on another commissioned mural for Seton Hall University.
He also continues to exhibit, showing at the Museum of African Art in Washington, the Spectrum Fine Art Gallery in New York and currently at the Heritage Gallery in Los Angeles.
But he is probably best known for his involvement with the Olympic Games. Barnes finally became an “official” artist after asking friends such as Kemp, sports commentator Frank Gifford and ABC powerhouse Roone Arledge to put in a good word with Peter V. Ueberroth, then president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee.
It is interesting that Ueberroth and Barnes have crossed paths again. This time, Ueberroth heads Rebuild L.A. and Barnes’ artwork, “Growth Through Limits,” stands as a symbol of hope in South Los Angeles. Patrick Media Group donated the 48-foot billboard as part of a community service project that was in the planning stages before the riots. Barnes awarded $1,000 of his own money to the high school student who submitted the best slogan for the billboard (“Strength and unity can break through all things”). 100 Black Men of Los Angeles also got involved, as did the Show Coalition, an arts and entertainment network for political action.
“The African-American community is just beginning to use art as another form of communicating,” said Dr. Warren W. Valdry, president of 100 Black Men of Los Angeles, the local chapter of a nationwide organization that seeks economic and social gains for minorities. “Through the power of the media, Ernie’s billboard shows what we ought to be about: unity and people working together.”
The oversized artwork will be circulated to other locations this summer. Barnes would like to see more such messages replace the cigarette and alcohol advertisements that seem to dominate city streets. Again, he speaks of positive images.
“I came out of a Southern ghetto, off a dirt street. I wasn’t supposed to become an artist,” Barnes said. His voice slips into its preaching tone, soft yet insistent. “That’s why we have words like ‘initiative.’ Striving for self-improvement is one of the deepest and most distinctive human compulsions.”

It has the fifth-largest circulation in the U.S., and is the largest American newspaper not headquartered on the East Coast.

rothstyle: My Deacon & The Incredible Hulk
My Deacon & The Incredible Hulk
Okay...the title was really just because I couldn't think of anything else. They don't go hand in hand AT ALL but we did have a very special event this past Sunday. Our oldest son Taylor is now 12 and has been found worthy to hold the Priesthood. Rick ordained him a Deacon on Sunday and it was great to see the support Taylor had from so many family members all worthy to stand in that circle and bestow upon him such an important and amazing authority. It doesn't seem like our little guy is old enough to have such a responsibility but I know that he is ready and will always honor it the way our Heavenly Father would want him to. I am so grateful to my husband for being a worthy Priesthood holder and for making sure that we have it in our home. We are so very proud of you Tay and the wonderful decisions you have made!
In regards to our other son...the one that is supposed to be born tomorrow according to that little Lilypie ticker I have at the top of our blog (what is going to happen to that thing anyway - guess we will see on Wednesday); he has decided that Mom's belly is much more comfortable than the outside world and that he would like to stay in a little longer. We went to the Dr. today expecting at least to set an induction date and needless to say I just left in a lot of pain and bewilderment. I go to a practice that rotates 5 Dr.'s. and for the past 6-8 weeks I have had them all measure me and tell me that I am having a good size healthy baby. I finally got enough courage to ask the Dr. today what exactly "good size" is and he told me probably at least 9 lbs. +. There is a reason Rick doesn't normally go to the Dr. with me...I had just been put through a very uncomfortable (code for painful) appointment already, and then they tell me exactly how big my chunky monkey is going to be and my husband just started laughing!! If only it were on the flip side and he was the one who had to deliver. Oh well, if we have a healthy happy baby we are very blessed but I am a little nervous to deliver the Incredible Hulk I must be honest. Hopefully we can get things moving and set a date for next week. If all goes well, the next post should be by Rick showing off our newest addition!
Posted by Rick and Ali at 9:31 PM
What's up where is that baby you are past due!!! Can't wait
Ali just remember that somebody has to deliver the incredible Hulk and that unlucky woman just happens to be you. Just kidding good luck and you better be posting pictures soon after that boy is here.
Little Baby Boy!!!!!..........sort of.......

A very well maintained, clean and beautiful park - The Queens Dry Gardens, is the newest edition and was built for the Queens visit in 2012 - It is a very artist Park - lots of artist contribute to the look and have done so throughout it's history and there is a lot of history to be learned - you can read the plaques situated at various points - It is also home to to the beautiful Mansion, which can be visited for free. There is a farmers market every fourth Sunday. It also hosts many fairs and events, there is always a full calender at Valentines Park - but a walk through to see the wildlife that live there on a daily basis is a wondrous sight to see at any time.

Its a long walk or a drive to get here but its always lovely. Go for a walk round pond , you can boat in summer, kids playgrounds were all done up a few yaers ago and there an outside gym by the tennis courts. We stumbled across the Holocause memorial a few weeks ago which is out on the outskirts of the park -It needs some benches!! You can eat or drink in cafe near kids bit. Its recently had a lick of paint but is a basic greasy spoon with cakes and ice creams really. Toilets are generally revolting unfortunately so avoid if u can. Try and combine with a trip to Valentines mansion which is really nice.

The falcon, the child and the saint | Annemarie Latour
The falcon, the child and the saint
29 August 2016 Annemarie Latour	Leave a comment
“It was August, and I was looking up at the sky”, Michael Jackson wrote in 1992. It’s August again, many years later. Jackson’s words form part of a short philosophical piece of writing that he included in his second book Dancing the Dream (1992). In his short essay, Jackson discusses the topic of growing wings, which was all about having faith and taking responsibility.
Michael Jackson at the Lodge, Pebble Beach in January 1991 (photo: Dilip Mehta)
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings”, J.M. Barrie wrote in his novel The Little White Bird. It’s a lesson his beloved character Peter Pan must learn before becoming the little boy who lives with pirates and fairies in Neverland.
Jackson loved the tale of Peter Pan. The singer’s ranch, aptly named Neverland, was a place where children could play and adults were encouraged to be childlike again. But unlike Peter Pan, who rather selfishly exploits the world around him, Jackson understood that the ability to fly – or to reach great heights – involved a process of soul searching and learning to take responsibility.
In an essay called ‘Wings without me’, Jackson explores the topic of growing wings and taking flight. Observing a falcon soaring on currents of hot air – something he may have seen at his ranch – Jackson longs to identify with the bird, whose boundless freedom forms a stark contrast with Jackson’s highly protected life.
“Higher and higher it spiraled, until with one unearthly shriek, it disappeared”, Jackson writes. As the image of ultimate freedom disappears, Jackson feels left behind. Limited to the confines of Neverland, Jackson’s life resembled much of that of Peter Pan, who was forever bound to his fairytale land of dream and wonder.
Freedom, however, comes in many different shapes and sizes. “Then my spirit said, ‘The falcon’s way is not the only way. Your thoughts are as free as any bird’”, Jackson writes, “So I shut my eyes and my spirit took off.” For a short moment he is free again, living a life he never had, going places he has never seen.
Michael Jackson reading at the Lodge, Pebble Beach in January 1991 (photo: Dilip Mehta)
Yet it isn’t long before Jackson realizes that freedom alone does not make a man free. “’You grew wings without me,’ my heart said. ‘What good is freedom without love?’ So I went quietly to the bed of a sick child and sang him a lullaby.” Love and responsibility, Jackson seems to say, add value and meaning to personal freedom. Without it, humanity ultimately fails where it should begin.
During his life, Jackson translated this philosophy into compassion and care for children worldwide. It was a childhood dream come true. In an NBC interview in June 2010, his mother Katherine recalled: “Remember when they used to show the little African kids starving to death, flies all around their mouth and face? Well, we – Michael and I – would lay there on the floor watching TV, and Michael looked up at me and said, ‘Mother,’ he said, ‘one day’ – he was only a kid then – ‘I’m going to do something about this.’”
Jackson kept his promise. As his fame and fortune grew, he began to share his wealth with the underprivileged and those in need. Unknown to many, he visited hospitals and orphanages worldwide, pleading for improved services, better facilities, and more personal care. To jumpstart things, he spent hours visiting abandoned, sick and dying children, offering practical help to improve their lives and never leaving without making a substantial donation.
Still, these moments of alleviating the pain of the most vulnerable did not soothe Jackson’s spiritual ache. The world’s suffering, after all, never ends. “He fell asleep smiling”, Jackson continues, referring to the sick child in his story, “and my heart took off, joining my spirit as it circles over the earth. I was free and loving, but still something was wrong.”
After living his dream of healing the world, Jackson is confronted with reality. “’You grew wings without me,’ my body said. ‘Your flights are only imagination.’” Here Jackson has stumbled upon an age-old truth. The heart may dream of a better world, and we may even live this dream for a small moment in time, but reality – symbolized by the physical presence of the body – puts our feet back on the ground.
Nevertheless, throughout this process of self-discovery, Jackson’s faith and determination have grown: “So I looked into books that I had ignored before and read about saints in every age who actually flew”, he writes before adding a quote by Saint Teresa who levitated on more than one occasion during her life: “As if carried aloft by a great eagle, my ecstasy lifted me into the air.”
Slowly Jackson understands that everything, even the seemingly impossible, is possible for those who have faith. Faith is free from limits. Faith embraces all and unites all. Thus Jackson experiences that “…for the first time, I didn’t feel left behind.”
When all life is seen as divine
Jackson’s essay seems to point out that perfect faith, whether in the beauty of the natural world, in humanity, in the sacredness of life, in one’s talents, or in God, opens life up to the possibility of so much more. Perfect faith comprehends that the fullness and sacredness of life, the divine, is present in all and through all. It’s precisely when this knowledge reveals itself in the human heart, that we grow wings and are able to fly.
I was the falcon, the child and the saint. In my eyes their lives became sacred, and the truth came home: When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings. – Michael Jackson –

Framebuilder Interview « starostneradost
Category Archives: Framebuilder Interview
Framebuilder Interview – Marten Gerritsen
January 4, 2014 – 2:29 pm
Reading the blog of someone the other day who has helped with finding my way to blogging, I saw that there was an interview of another blogger there. Then the idea entered my head that it might be interesting to see not only what other bloggers say, but also what the people on the other side of the blowtorch think about steel frames, maybe to find out a little bit of their histories and their build philosophies.
I then proceeded to write a questionnaire, sent it off to a few builders to begin with, and Doug Fattic was kind enough to develop the questionnaire further than I had been able to. Marten Gerritsen of M-Gineering was the first to return it (Thank you, Marten!) together with some photos, so here is what I hope to be the first of a long series of posts.
If any of my readers build frames, pro or amateur, and would like to be interviewed too, I will be happy to e-mail the questionnaire. Please contact me via the comment function of this post.
Marten Gerritsen, M-Gineering
Warmup: Finish these sentences, please:
A bicycle is…
a vehicle with two wheels by definition, but hopefully an extension of your body.
A steel framed bicycle is…
a bicycle, just like bicycles made of aluminium, bamboo, carbon or the rest of the alphabet. It just happens that I like steel and build with steel.
The best frame I ever rode is…
There isn’t ‘A best frame’ (you’ll need lots of different ones 😉 ) But it starts with good fit and decent tyres.
Who is your favourite steel frame builder?
To quote one of several: WCAMO
(Editor´s remark: I do, else I wouldn´t have asked :-))
Who are other framebuilders you would buy a frame from (if you didn’t make it yourself)?
If I need a bike to ride I might just as well make it myself. Seems a bit silly to build a load of frames to have enough left over to pay somebody else to build a frame for me 😉
What for you is the best looking frame ever?
When I look at a frame I look at all the details, the good, the bad, what can inspire me etc. I don’t bother with marking all the aspects to arrive at a ranking.
What type of frames do you build most? Has this changed over the course of your career?
I do mostly touring frames, either randonneuring style or for heavy duty touring in fillet brazed construction.
I started out building bikes with front and rear suspension, and the occasional racing bike, but the market has changed.
What type of frame do you like best?
Anything which puts a smile on your face
Which is your favourite cycling book?
I could probably recommend half a dozen or more, all for different reasons. But is a cup of tea better than a sandwich?
(Another remark: Marten has written one himself, of course.)
Do you have any favorite cycling references in popular culture (like in movies, TV, or on youtube)?
Again, I’m no good in rankings.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to become a framebuilder?
What made you become a frame builder?
Define start. I’ve been tinkering with bikes and scooters from very early age. Got a welding set when I was 18 or so.
Who taught you to build frames? Were there others that helped or influenced you after you got started?
Taught myself basically, but a degree in Automotive Engineering and teaching machining classes (read drinking coffee with proper machinists) helped.
Better paint, more reliable delivery dates
Which customer behaviour do you like best?
I like them to have done their homework first. Being difficult to find in a small village up north helps in weeding out the less motivated 😉
Which customer behaviour do you dislike most?
I don’t let it worry me, if it gets too bad you can always fire them.
Do you fit your customers before building them a frame (find their bicycle contact points)? If so, how do you do it?
Measure them, run the measurements through a fit programme, measure the current bike, observe the customer riding the bike, compare the findings and discuss their wants.
Describe how you deal with customers that can’t be measured or fitted in person.
Try to avoid it really, it is much better for both parties and the end result to have met in person and to have talked bikes.
Which of your tools would you least want to do without, save whatever you use for brazing?
If you have enough tools, you can always use an alternative. But a framebuilder without a vice (or several vices) is unthinkable
What methods do you use to check frame alignment? What type/brand of fixture/jig/tooling do you use in it?
I’ve got a 1x1m cast iron surface plate, all other tooling and fixturing is of my own making. I align the rear triangle to the headtube, the BB is secondary.
What equipment do you hope to get in the future?
A better Tig welder, and perhaps a decal cutter and an expresso machine
What would you get if you didn’t have budgeting restraints?
Tempted to say a CNC mill and a water jet cutter, but would i find the time to get them operational? And of course a bigger lathe, a horizontal mill, DRO’s all round, a bead blaster, a heavier pillar drill…. (you get the picture, I like machines)
Production methods and materials:
What is your preferred way to join tubes?
Which are your preferred lugs, if any? Why did you choose them? What are your other favorite materials?
Don’t do much lugs apart from forkcrowns, and usually use flat dropouts for slotted stays. Basically I use whatever does the job, and is affordable, I don’t have much call for the ueberfancy stuff. I like doing the occasional bilam though.
What differences do you see in tube brands? What brand(s) do you prefer? What is your philosophy in choosing tubing brands, diameters and wall thicknesses?
I use a lot of Reynolds as they have gauges suitable for touring frames and are a reliable supplier. But a frame could easily have Reynolds frametubes, Deda stays, a Columbus steerer and some Mannesman cromo.
Do you expect/wish for any new developments in tubes or lugs?
With all the classical suppliers going to the wall (Like TCI who made most of the forged dropouts) we’ll see the continuing trend to parts made with processes more suitable to small scale production.
What do you think the future will hold for steel frames?
They haven’t changed much over the last 125 years…
What process do you use to design your frames?
Determine the basic dimensions defining fit, the wheelsize , the loads and the desired look, feed it into a computer program i’ve written and play with all the variables untill i’m happy. If things get complicated I’ll make a 2d drawing.
Do you paint your frames yourself? If so, do you offer repainting services?
How important are the looks of your frames? Describe any artistic aspects you incorportate into them (or can do if asked).
The frames I build are tools to do a job. Styling is secondary to function, but I’ll play with dropouts, seatstay attachment, the shape of the bridges etc. But you’ll have to look for it, I try to keep it restrained.
Getting rid of frames:
How do you market your frames?
Website, word of mouth, occasional bikeshow
Approximately how many frames have you made to date?
I’m not counting, maybe a dozen a year on average.
Would you disclose your frame numbering system, please?
first two build series , eg 01 = radical, 99 is a custom build
middle two: year of construction
last two : sequence number
Ask yourself an additional question, please.
Started out touring , my first proper lightweight (after a horrid Peugeot) was a Champion Mondial. Rode to the Mediteranian and back at age 16. Did some racing at University but nobody had a clue (as I found out later when playing team mechanic) so wasn’t any good at it. Did some HPV racing. Still trying to ride, but long tours don’t mix with running your own business, so have to steal the occasional weekend or week for some road or off-road touring

Liked best: each bedroom had a bathroom and we loved the balcony
Liked least: the way the doors are to the balconies. Kept forgetting there was a step and it was a small nuisance, also didn't like the fact that the only light we had in the twin bedroom was a lamp.

“Very Comfortable condo and close to all restaurants and fun spots.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only suggestion I have is on site check in and check out.
The condo was nicely appointed and kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. The bathtub faucet in the master bedroom had to be repaired, but that was taken care of and the repairman was very polite and timely in his repair work.
The furniture on the balcony was perfect. We had a small toddler with us and having a rocker in the condo was excellent!!!
Having wireless was a really nice extra!! Thank you for that!!
The security was excellent. He was helpful on one of our evenings where there was no parking available in front of our building. He found one and we appreciated his help.
Again, we enjoyed our stay and hated leaving.
Thanks for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Surf Side Shores 1306 and hope to have you back soon!
“Would not recommend this condo to my worst enemy.”
Clean it from top to bottom. Replace sofa, replace beds and mattresses in all 3 bedrooms, very uncomfortable, not enough comfortable setting in living room for family to gather. Bathrooms were dirty, kitchen was nasty and so were dishes, floors, mirrors, food in corners of bedrooms, dishes had food stuck on them. Sand was swept under sofa, paper and trash was under the beds. Soda or something sticky all down the cabinets and in one bedroom down dresser. Washing machine was not working and had to call in a repair man. The beds were suppose to be queen size beds and they were full size and the twin beds were youth beds. No full size twins. The twin beds had sink holes in the middle of the mattresses. We arrived at this condo around 3:30 and it wasn't ready they were still cleaning. We waited until 5;15 and it still wasn't clean. The door to the condo was hard to lock and unlock. Would not recommend this rental.
Liked least: Beds and seating arrangement in living room
People have their opinions, but reading that the beds have shrunk from twin to some other size, as did the queen, lend us to disregard these comments. It is a nice, gulf front 3BR/3BA condo in the heart of town and extremely popular and a great rental. Looks just like the photos. Yes, we did send service immediately to reset the washer, and it worked fine for their stay. Cleaning crews have until 5PM in summer, and due to their 15 min delay, we also discounted their cleaning.

My front left end...
My front left end pops when turning
It seems when ever i stop and turn left or right it pops

Re: my front left end pops when turning
Check the stabilizer links. It is possible one is broken. Otherwise you will need to check the front end for loose ball joints or tie rods. I can explain how to do this if needed.
