Spuds MacKenzie: An Underdog’s Triumph : ‘The Original Party Animal’ Has Become the Nation’s Most Unlikely Sex Symbol

Times Staff Writer

Move over, Max Headroom. Make way for Spuds MacKenzie.

A canine cross between Bruce Willis and John Belushi, the nation’s latest unlikely sex symbol is a sorry-looking creature with a football-shaped head, triangular eyes and a huge black splotch on his face. Lassie he’s not.

The dog, dubbed “The Original Party Animal” by his employer, Bud Light beer, was introduced to national television audiences during the fourth quarter of this year’s Super Bowl--wearing a white tuxedo and strutting across the dance floor.

Since that commercial, his popularity has soared nationally and spawned a growth industry of T-shirts and other Spuds paraphernalia. Posters of the “Ayatollah Partyollah,” in which he often appears surrounded by beautiful young women, are now the best-selling pin-ups in the country. He beats Max Headroom five to one in the estimate of Leo Smith of Class Publications in Hartford, Conn., and easily outdistances TV’s “Alf,” No. 2 in the poster market.

In New York, 22 Spuds MacKenzie boutiques have been opened in Macy’s department stores, featuring some of the more than 200 items--from satin jackets to coffee mugs--licensed to bear the Spuds name and image. And at the Museum of Contemporary Art gift shop in Los Angeles, inflatable plastic Spuds toys, complete with “Beware of Party Dog” warnings, are for sale among other examples of modern folk art.

Elsewhere, Spuds lookalike contests are popular, with both both dogs and humans as contestants. A number of professional Spuds imposters (“Spudstitutes” as the Budweiser team prefers to call them) have secured modeling gigs; one recently appeared on the cover of Detroit Monthly magazine’s “Dog Days of Summer” issue.

Spuds himself (despite the distinctly masculine persona, he’s a female) has already broken into films, playing a character in Vista’s upcoming “Rented Lips,” with Martin Mull. He’s been a guest on “Late Night with David Letterman.” The Spudettes, a trio of spandex-clad, Los Angeles-area actresses who appear in the MacKenzie commercials and posters, typically travel with him. And he even has an official stand-in.

Like any truly big star--we’re talking Joan Collins potential here--Spuds has even generated controversy. First there was a minor flap over his gender, quickly followed by false rumors that he was pregnant. Then came the gossip about his pedigree--a charge sternly disputed by Louis Wellons, president of the Bull Terrier Club of America. Spuds, Wellons insisted, is “absolutely not a pit bull.”

Lately, claimed PR agent Bill Stolberg (who is in charge of massaging Spuds’ image), there’s been nasty speculation that Spuds has died in an airline crash in Texas, in a limo incident in New York or in a hot tub mishap in Southern California.

Good Looks

Stolberg, who attributes “Mr. MacKenzie’s” popularity to “those good looks, that square jaw,” refused to reveal who owns Spuds. But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported in 1985 that Spuds was owned by Stan and Jackie Oles of North Riverside, Ill.,; that his real name is Evie, and that he is registered in American Kennel Club records as Honey Tree Evil Eye.

Spuds began his commercial career in 1983 on Bud Light posters designed by the DDB Needham ad agency in Chicago and aimed at beer drinkers ages 21 to 34. He quickly became a cult figure on college campuses and, this year, was made a key element of Anheuser-Busch’s national advertising.

The fact that many Americans are aware that Spuds is female attests to an astonishing level of interest in the dog, said John Doig, a reluctant admirer and a creative director in the New York office of Ogilvy & Mather ad agency.

“Spuds seems to have gone to the heart of America. It shows you how desperate people are for advertising that has some whimsy about it . . . Most of the dogs and cats in commercials come from the same breeding factories, the same test tubes. They’re all perfect Irish setters or golden retrievers,” Doig said.

He’s a Scrubber

Spuds’ appeal, he theorized, is that he looks like a real dog. “He looks like a dog who’s known lady dogs. He’s a scrubber. You know he spent his childhood in pool halls.”

Art Kover, a senior vice president at the N. W. Ayer agency in Manhattan and an adjunct professor of marketing at New York University, similarly suspects that Spuds’ unconventional looks may account for much of his success.

“You’ve got this animal that’s sort of ugly and sort of cute. Yet he’s surrounded by these sexy women. It’s like every postpubescent male’s dream,” he said. “It’s packed in enough fantasy that it allows people’s lives to be uplifted.”

Not all marketing experts claim to understand why Spuds is such a hit. “These are fads that come along and go away,” observed Harold Kassarjian, a professor of marketing at UCLA and the editor of the Journal of Consumer Research. “From our end we really don’t know anything about why these things are popular. They last about three months. People will buy a T-shirt and after two launderings, they’ll start to wonder why the hell they spent $9 on that thing.”

But some Spuds fans argue that Spuds is worth the bucks because just looking at him makes them laugh. Ken Frykberg, a 23-year-old construction worker from Manhattan Beach who collects Spuds paraphernalia and owns a bull terrier named Floyd, is one: “Spuds is so ugly I feel sorry for him.” Added Frykberg’s girlfriend, Shelley Watson, “Spuds and Floyd are cool dogs. People think Floyd’s a pig or an aardvark.”

Burn Out

Might the Spuds phenomenon burn itself out by Labor Day and eventually be remembered as the Hula Hoop of 1987?

Such a possibility is “definitely a consideration” in the advertising strategy for Bud Light, said Anheuser-Busch’s Joe Corcoran, senior brand manager for Bud Light. But Corcoran doesn’t think Spuds has peaked yet, and the terrier is scheduled to appear in Santa suits and skiing togs for Christmas.

“You can push him (Spuds) too hard and too fast,” Corcoran cautioned, noting that the “problem” of potential overkill is “a nice problem to have.”

John Greening, a DDB Needham vice president, pointed out that Spuds spots are aired selectively--his commercials generally do not appear in prime time--and that some TV viewers complain of never having seen one. “We obviously don’t want to expose him to the wrong audience, the under 21-year-old audience,” Greening said, “so Spuds is aired mainly on late-night television.”

Anheuser-Busch was late entering the light beer market and now ranks third in national sales of light beer, behind leader Miller and Coors. Because Spuds is not featured in the bulk of Bud Light advertising, it’s not clear how much the dog has affected sales, Corcoran said, but Bud Light sales increased 20% in both 1986 and 1987.

Some Problems

Not everything connected with Spuds has benefitted from his charisma, however.

“We’ve received an awful lot of calls from people wanting dogs that look like Spuds and it’s causing some problems,” claimed Wellons of the bull terrier group. “The deluge of popularity never helps a breed. People are beginning to do backyard breeding, producing puppies just for the market. Pet shops are trying to buy bull terriers because the market has become very lucrative.”

Before the Spuds phenomenon, Wellons recalled, a well-bred bull terrier pup was selling for $450 to $650. “Pet shops are now asking between $1,000 and $1,200 for puppies that look like Spuds. Most bull terrier breeders will not sell to pet shops or charge that much. We are far more concerned with with where the puppy is placed than we are with the dollar.”

But Spuds merchandisers are undeterred.

“We have been shipping T-shirts since December and every single month we’ve produced more and more volume. It’s in the millions now,” said Jeremy Green, a sales executive with The Village Mews, Spuds’ official T-shirt licensee.

Business Is Good

“Just a couple of weeks ago, we shipped 35,000 dozen shirts in one week. That’s almost half a million shirts. We keep changing the prints, but even the very first print we did on Spuds--the one on “The Original Party Animal"--is still the best-selling T-shirt in the country,” he claimed. The shirts retail for $12 to $20 each.

The bootleg Spuds market is also big. At Venice Beach, illicit “Spuds MacKenzie Beach Club"and “Camp Spuds” attire is doing brisk business. And Green said his company has worked to get two shirts off the market in Texas: one with the title “Get Naked With Spuds” and another of Spuds sporting a sombrero. In San Antonio, where Pope John Paul II will visit in September, one shop has been selling “The Original Vatican Party Animal” T-shirts, with Spuds wearing a papal miter.

Terrorism Trials: Legislative Development

House-Senate Side-by-Side of NDAA Provisions: Part II

By Benjamin Wittes
Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 12:11 PM

The following is a continuation of our side-by-side comparison of the House and Senate versions of the NDAA:

Prohibition of Detainee Transfer to the United States

The House version of the bill (Section 1039, p. 586) contains a specific prohibition on using fiscal year 2012 funds to "transfer or release an individual detained at Guantanamo Bay" or a non-citizen detained elsewhere into the United States. The Senate version does not appear to contain a similar provision; indeed, as I noted before, by implicitly including federal court trials as possible dispositions under the laws of war, it appears to envision that some military detainees might at some point end up in federal courts here in the United States. But the apparent flexibility on the back end in the Senate bill is belied by its rigidity on the front end.

Indeed, both bills here are significantly flawed on this point--albeit in mirror image fashions. The House bill does not compel military detention at Guantanamo, but it does create a kind of Roach Motel there, where detainees can check in but they can't check out--even to a trial in federal court. The Senate version, by contrast, requires military detention but it does make it possible in a Byzantine sort of way for that detention to end for purposes of a federal trial.

The right answer here to scrap both the transfer restriction and the mandatory detention language. That's going to be a hard sell, there being zero appetite in Congress for bringing any detainees to the United States--for detention, for release, or for trial. I would love to see the administration plant the flag on this one, but my guess is that it will have to pick its poison. If that's the case, it's an easy choice: the restriction on transfer to the United States is far less bad than the mandatory detention provision, particularly since the administration has already given up the ghost on where the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed trial will take place.

Restrictions on Detainee Transfer Abroad

Both bills contain a prohibition on using fiscal year 2012 funds to transfer detainees from Guantanamo to foreign countries in the absence of a detailed certification by the Secretary of Defense concerning the arrangements that have made for the detainee (Section 1040 in the House bill, pp. 587-590, and Section 1033 in the Senate bill, pp. 432-439). These certifications, which are required under current law too, have proven in practice all-but-impossible to meet--causing Guantanamo transfers to grind to a halt. Both bills also flatly ban transfers to any country where there has been a single case of recidivism in the absence of a national security waiver by the Secretary of Defense. Both bills exempt court-ordered releases from the restrictions.

The only significant difference between the two--other than wording variance--is that the Senate bill gives the Pentagon marginally greater flexibility in the waiver authority than does the House bill: In the Senate bill, the waiver authority extends to aspects of the certification itself, not merely to the ban on transfers to countries that have given rise to recidivism.

But this is small consolation. The transfer restrictions are very bad policy, and they are one of the issues on which Obama simply needs to put his foot down. It was a huge mistake for him to sign them into law last year, and he's paid an enormous price for it. They will melt away the moment he convinces Congress that he will veto the NDAA over them. And if they don't, and if Congress passes them over his veto, and least he will not have acquiesced to them.

Requirement of Consultation Regarding Terrorist Prosecution

While the House version of the NDAA does not contain an explicit requirement of military custody, it does contain a few provisions not in the Senate bill that push strongly in that direction. One of these is Section 1042 (pp. 591), which requires that before a prosecution can be initiated against any non-citizen for "a terrorist crime," the Justice Department "shall consult with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense about" (1) whether the prosecution should take place in federal court or in a military commission, and (2) whether the individual should be transferred to military custody.

This little-discussed provision does not mandate any particular outcome, and it's not entirely clear to me what it would do in practice. But as I read it, at least, it potentially kicks in before arrest, requiring the FBI to consult with the DNI and the Pentagon before picking up a terrorist suspect domestically. It therefore seems like it has significant potential for mischief, particularly in combination with the provision described in the following section, and it certainly ought to come out of the final bill.

Ban on Federal Court Trial of Terrorist Suspects

The House bill also contains a noxious provision added on the floor (Section 1046, pp. 602-603) that would flatly ban federal court trials of "any foreign national" who is accused of a terrorism offense and "is subject to trial for that offense by a military commission." This provision has no counterpart in the Senate version of the bill. In combination with the transfer restrictions and the 1042 requirement of consultation before an arrest, it makes law enforcement custody and prosecution of terrorist suspects impossible--notwithstanding the fact that the House bill does not contain a mandatory detention provision.

Again, this is just one of those provisions on which the President needs to put his foot down. There is no compromising on it. If it becomes law, it should not be because the President blinked but because Congress defied him with a veto-proof majority.

Clarification of Right to Plead Guilty to Capital Offense in Military Commission

Both bills contain a provision that would clarify that a defendant in a military commission facing capital charges may plead guilty if he chooses. This is an open question under current law and is important to resolve.

Procedures for Status Determinations

Finally, the Senate bill contains a major provision not in the House bill, mandating the creation of procedures "for determining the status of persons detained pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force." The provision arises because the Senate bill mandates military detention for certain people arrested on suspicion of terrorism, and it requires that they be held pending disposition under the laws of war. So this provision then creates a process for adjudicating the cases of those slated for "long-term detention"--one of those possible dispositions.

The irony is that the process the bill lays out is quite generous compared to what detainees now receive now when they show up at a U.S. detention facility. It would have a military judge preside, and it would give detainees military counsel to represent them at the proceedings.

The trouble is this generous process is inextricably tied to the mandatory detention requirement, which cries out for death and burial and without which these procedures are a kind of legislative orphan. This is actually a shame, because there's a really good idea lurking underneath this provision, one that goes to something I've been arguing for some time about Guantanamo.

If we stopped thinking about Guantanamo as a place we are ashamed of and want to close, and we started thinking about it as the location in which we do long-term detention under the rule of law, it's possible to imagine a process like this undergirding the later habeas process. Detainees slated for long-term detention--but not trial--would come to Guantanamo, be subjected to this sort of generous procedure, and the fruits of that procedure could then form a record to which a habeas court might plausibly defer. The review mechanism set up for those who lose in this process and in later habeas review (whether that process existed in statute or in executive order) would then regularly assess then necessity of continued detention.

In other words, a process like this one could be constructive--but not as a feature designed to prevent law enforcement from doing its job. Constructed that way, as it is now, it needs to go.

Under Attack

The bullying of teachers is slowly entering the national spotlight. How will your school respond?
Illustration by Byron Eggenschwiler

On November 1, 2013, Teaching Tolerance (TT) posted a blog by an anonymous contributor titled “Teachers Can Be Bullied Too.” The author describes being screamed at by her department head in front of colleagues and kids and having her employment repeatedly threatened. She also tells of the depression and anxiety that plagued her following each incident.

To be honest, we debated posting it. “Was this really a TT issue?” we asked ourselves. Would our readers care about the misfortune of one teacher? How common was this experience anyway?

The answer became apparent the next day when the comments section exploded. A popular TT blog might elicit a dozen or so total comments; readers of this blog left dozens upon dozens of long, personal comments every day—and they continued to do so. “It happened to me,” “It’s happening to me,” “It’s happening in my department. I don’t know how to stop it.”

This outpouring was a surprise, but it shouldn’t have been. A quick Web search revealed that educators report being bullied at higher rates than professionals in almost any other field. (Nursing is also at the top.) A second search put us in touch with the Workplace Bullying  Institute (WBI) and its cofounder, Gary Namie, who for years has worked with teachers seeking support and relief from bullying. Namie and WBI offer a theory for the high concentration of bullying in education and nursing.

“The professionals who get into these fields [have] a pro-social orientation,” he says. “They’re helpers, right? For teachers, they’re really development specialists. … They’re not political animals. They have their back turned to the politics, which of course, then opens them up to this attack. Because of their goodness in a way, because of their motivation. This is why they get targeted.”

Namie’s description of who gets targeted matches up with the identity of our anonymous blogger and with many of the commenters: veteran or high-achieving teachers who cultivate strong relationships with students and families. So why these teachers, we asked? Wouldn’t they be the ones colleagues and administrators would want to keep around?

“Bully targets are threatening to a perpetrator. They pose a threat in some way, usually because of teaching excellence or focus on children, or adherence to the mission or their principles,” Namie explains. “This just agitates the crap out of somebody who is unscrupulous and sadistic. They can’t stand it.”

Karen Horwitz was an award-winning English teacher who experienced a stress-related health crisis and left education after suffering alleged bullying by her principal. After fighting an extended court battle (her case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it was dismissed), Horwitz founded an organization called the National Association for the Prevention of Teacher Abuse (NAPTA). Based on over a decade of work supporting bullied teachers, she asserts that the motives behind teacher abuse fall into two camps.

“[Some people] are doing it because they’re power hungry and they like the feeling that they can come in there … and torment a bunch of people. It makes them feel good,” she says. “Some of them are doing it because they’re making a lot of money.”

Horwitz believes that a significant percentage of teacher bullying is related to school reform or privatization agendas (forcing out teachers who “won’t play ball”) and to attempts to cover up financial impropriety, a phenomenon she calls “white chalk crime” (also the title of her book). Low-income communities and communities of color, she says, are particularly vulnerable.

“That offends me more than anything,” Horwitz says. “That they would take these really good, solid … teachers and abuse them out of teaching when those kids need them more than anything.”

While experts may debate the motives, one thing is clear: The hierarchical structure of many schools and districts combined with the isolation many teachers experience due to the nature of the job can create an environment where bullying behavior can easily go unchecked—with devastating consequences for the target of the behavior and for the kids they teach.

Tactics and Effects

According to the numerous experts we spoke with and many of the commenters on our blog, the experiences of targeted teachers are, to use Namie’s words, “almost prototypical.” The teacher-bully relationship is often a new relationship or one that experienced a recent shift in power dynamics. The more powerful individual may single out the targeted teacher for ridicule in meetings or belittle her in front of students or parents. Other tactics include sending confrontational or accusatory emails, writing up the target for violating vague or undocumented rules, “icing out” the target, repeatedly videotaping the target’s class without explanation and suspending the target for insubordination if she attempts to report the situation.

Another strong theme among workplace bullying experts is the acute need to reduce the amount of harm and collateral damage to the target that’s inherent in any bullying situation.

First, there is the professional harm. Workplace bullying is among the top reasons trained professionals leave education. Walking away from any job is not a decision most people can make without emotional or financial consequences and, in many communities, finding another teaching position may be prohibitively difficult. On top of that, education degrees aren’t particularly flexible, making career changes harder to pursue.

Then, there are the physical symptoms. According to Matt Spencer, a former superintendent and author of the book Exploiting Children: School Board Members Who Cross the Line, victims of bullying might experience anxiety attacks, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, throwing up before work, inability to focus, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. “[The symptoms] are very, very real,” Spencer says.

And, sadly, teachers are not the only ones who suffer when bullying behavior happens between adults.

“[Adults who bully] are modeling the behavior for [student] bullies,” says Namie. “They are actually undermining any moral authority to stop the child bully when the principal comes in and berates the teacher in front of the classroom. … That teacher now cannot tell a bully to knock it off, because the bully can say, ‘Yeah, well, you couldn’t stop Mr. Smith, why should I listen to you?’”

It was clear from the many personal accounts we researched that attempting to expose or stop a bullying co-worker was never easy and rarely effective. But it wasn’t entirely clear why—until we looked closely at the types of protections and policies most schools have in place. It is true that an increasing number of schools have anti-bullying policies, but they apply almost exclusively to students. Workplace harassment policies seem like they should protect targets, but most can only be enforced when the harassing behavior is linked to discrimination based on gender or race. If the target is not a member of a protected class or is unable to draw the line between discriminatory intent and behavior, “discrimination and harassment policies are just not the right mechanism to use with workplace bullying,” according to Spencer.

Bullying behavior can easily go unchecked—with devastating consequences for the target of the behavior and for the kids they teach.

As an educator who was targeted himself, Spencer is all too familiar with how limited protections for bullied teachers really are.

“When you look at an action as perpetrated by a workplace bully, you can see that it just doesn’t fit in the harassment law. The HR person who witnesses these kinds of behaviors … and is trying to use the lenses of harassments and discrimination [might say], ‘Yeah, they’re mean and rude and nasty and uncivil but they’re not … discriminating against you. So I’m just telling both of you to stop it and be nice and play nice in the same box.’ That’s what happens, because it’s such an ineffective tool.”

So what is an effective tool? Sociologist Alan McEvoy of Northern Michigan University studies workplace bullying and encourages  talking about the problem as a first step.

“Most academic departments in most schools do not devote any staff meeting time to discussing … bullying behavior among colleagues,” says McEvoy. “It is outside the comfort zone of many, and it’s difficult to change something unless you know how to name it. … As a consequence, the most common response is to do nothing, which is the worst response.”

McEvoy recommends that educators begin by assembling a task force or partnering with their local union. Preliminary discussions should focus on identifying a range of behaviors that are considered noncollegial—understanding that the list will include gray areas that require discussion. Through this discussion, McEvoy suggests capturing descriptions and statements that can become “a broad definition [including] not only what people do, but what they fail to do as part of noncollegial conduct.” This definition, he says, should ultimately inform a collegiality policy that ties to all faculty evaluations.

“What the evidence suggests is that noncollegial workplace conduct will persist in the absence of policies and in the absence of consequences,” McEvoy reports. “They have to deal with it. They don’t feel comfortable doing it.”

Namie agrees with the power of school-level policies, but would like them to carry more legal weight. He has been working for years to further a state-level bill called the Healthy Workplace Bill (HWB), legislation that defines workplace abuse and outlines the exact circumstances under which it can be pursued as a civil offense. In other words, to quote the WBI’s website, the HWB “plugs the gaps in current state and federal civil rights protections.”

“The bill is drafted in a way to incentivize employers to take voluntary action that they don’t do now,” Namie explains. “We’re saying, if [a school] want[s] to escape vicarious liability as an employer, what you need to do is you need to take reasonable steps. … Create a policy and procedures and enforce them. Make them available. If you’ve done all of that, then only the individual [who bullies] can be held liable.” To date, 29 states and two territories have introduced the HWB; 10 states introduced it in 2015 alone. Although it has yet to pass, encouraging developments in Utah (which now mandates abuse-prevention trainings for state workers) and Minnesota (which passed a statewide workplace bullying policy under pressure from the state employees’ union) are pushing the issue into the spotlight, paving the way, Namie hopes, for more states to take action.

Eighteen months after we published “Teachers Can Be Bullied Too,” the still-growing string of comments indicates that action is absolutely necessary. But while our research revealed a discouraging number of sad stories and statistics, it also revealed examples of people like Phyllis Runyon, a targeted teacher who worked first with the WBI and then with her local union to train members on the concept of workplace bullying. Just having more information and being a resource for others, she says, has helped her personally and made her teaching community more humane.

“[Adults who bully] really do have a certain profile,” Runyon points out. “I think once people recognize that the person who’s making their life miserable fits that profile, then that answers a lot of questions. It gives them more vocabulary to use in standing up for themselves. This is the definition. They’re not making it up.”

In many jurisdictions, the use of winter tires is mandatory. Additionally, many insurance companies extend a discount for their use, required or not. Changing your own tires with the right tools is a snap, and not only saves you money but also the hassle of making an appointment and waiting for the work to be finished.

If Archimedes* had owned a car, this tool would have been in his trunk. Just shy of 24" long, this breaker bar provides enough leverage to loosen the most stubborn lug bolt; no more stomping on the end of a chintzy OEM tire wrench to try to apply more force. Made of strong, polished chrome-molybdenum steel, it has a swivelling 1/2" head with a ball detent. Just add a 2" or 3" extension and the appropriate socket for your lug nuts, and you're good to go. It's just the right tool for the job.

Benefits Of Dock Hand Dredging And Seawall Reinforcement

Benefits Of Dock Hand Dredging And Seawall Reinforcement.

Is your Boat Draft Greater Than The Water Under Your Lift Or Slip?

We have all heard the phrase, “Out of sight, out of mind.” Water around our docks and boat lifts seem fine for years until the rude awakening that debris, trash and shallow water has damaged  our boat, motor or both. For many boat owners, boat lift water depth is the last thing on their mind until they can’t get their boat out or they consistently run too shallow for their props kicking up muck and even debris that could damage props, shafts and motors. Did you buy your dream boat but can’t get it in or out of your dock, slip or lift? Silt build up under a boat lift or dock impedes vessel access. Removing silt build up is not an easy task without expertise and the proper precision equipment.

What Is Hand Dredging?

Hand dredging is a “full contact sport” of putting workers in the water pumping silt and hand removing debris and trash from around docks, boat lifts, and canals leading to such areas. Working in the water for long periods of time is tiring. We recommend hiring a professional.

The hazards of broken glass, accidental “over boards” of objects big and small that lead to rusty sharp items hidden within the silt under water. Dredging accompanied with hand shoveling can move silt build up in precision locations to increase water depths for vessels requiring greater draft. Hand dredging is very effective where larger machines do not have access. Hand Dredging allows working in shallow “skinny” water where big machines would only get stuck. Hand dredging also allows for getting into tight spaces under docs, narrow canals, boat lifts and slips.

Silt Removal or Repurposing.

Relocating silt for removal is a popular solution during hand dredging. This would require loading and trucking the dredge by product after the dredging process. Many people needing hand dredging services also need shoreline restoration due to erosion and or seawall reinforcement.

With the development of Geo Bag eco-friendly technology, silt and mud can be not only relocated but repurposed to rebuild shorelines and fortify seawalls. Here is how it works. As the silt is being pumped, it is being directed to strategically positioned Geo Bags for filling.

If used for shoreline restoration, the bags are placed to re-extend the shoreline that could be covered with sand, soil and even re-sodded if necessary.

If used for seawall fortification, the bags are stacked in front of the properly functioning seawall to extend the seawalls longevity. This is a great example of working with nature, not against to achieve desired results when dredging is the only option. Repurposing dredge silt saves in trucking costs as well as restoring the precious shoreline and seawalls.

Affordable Help With Hand Dredging Projects!

Ignoring the problem on the surface of the water around your dock, boat lift or slip will only prolong potential costly boat damage. Ask yourself these questions. Are you losing depth under your boat lift? Is there trash and debris in the water all around dock? Would you like to enhance and fortify your current seawall? Stock maintenance hand dredging is a practical solution for all of these issues. Tight locations and skinny water is impossible for large equipment to navigate. Precision hand dredging is an excellent answer for dredging challenges that are hard to reach. Give LEW Inc. a call at 321-508-3574 and visit our website We are here to help!

See Photos of Disney’s New ‘Star Wars’ Hotel

An artist's rendering shows guests gathering in the atrium of the Star Wars hotel.

Just because Disney looks a bit different these days doesn’t mean the parks are slowing down. Now, there are new photos of Disney’s Star Wars hotel that’ll have fans of the sci-fi series excited to head to the Florida park.

The new hotel isn’t quite like others. Instead, it takes more of a cruise ship sort of vibe. Guests who visit Disney World will have the option to stay in the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser for a two-day and two-night immersive experience. Guests will all enter the hotel at the same time and then depart on the Halcyon a fictional intergalactic cruiser where over the course of their stay they’ll visit exotic locations and bunk up as if in their own rebel quarters.

Thanks to new photos what these bunks will look like—with their orange and white design reminiscent of rebel X-wing fighters uniforms and with the same aesthetic as the Millenium Falcon—it’s hard not to see how the hotel would be a dream for Star Wars fans.

Disney's Star Wars hotel features orange and white decor and a futuristic design.

It’s not just that the hotel and experience look cool, though. While staying at the hotel, you’ll also get to wield a lightsaber (aka my dream), live your best Lando Calrissian-inspired life in the Silver C Lounge, and get a peek at just what it would take to run a spaceship.

Currently, the hotel is slated to open in 2021, but no specific date has been given. But if you want to learn more and see more of the hotel, you can find all the details on the Disney Parks page.

What are the Benefits of Revolving Credit Car Loans?

Revolving credit car loans benefit borrowers in many ways.  Having access to a revolving credit car loan means that a borrower can eliminate their fixed monthly payment. A borrower can also control the amount of credit needed, up to a predetermined maximum, and payback the outstanding amount over time.

Revolving car loans give borrowers more freedom and flexibility over their use of credit. This flexibility is similar to credit card freedoms of some of the largest credit card providers. A revolving credit car loan and be paid slowly over time and can be used as necessary.

The benefits of the card should be considered by individuals with control and discipline over their finances and credit. The revolving credit line should be used with care because a borrower can end up owing more than what is affordable to them.

No Fixed Monthly Payments

Revolving credit car loans differ from traditional installment car loans because there are no fixed monthly payments. The lender, based on the borrower’s credit score and income, establishes a line of credit and allows the borrower to access the funds for the purchase of the vehicle.

Repayment terms can be interest-only payments, lump sum payments or a series of variable amounts. There is no established required amount that needs to be paid, and a borrower may sometimes go several months before making a payment. This is beneficial for a borrower that has money invested in other entities and is waiting for them to mature.

No Prepayment Penalties

A revolving credit car loan allows the borrower to pay as little, or as much as they want on the loan. Payment of the loan will not result in a prepayment penalty or fees. Revolving credit lines are open credit lines that can be paid back at any time. Be careful to read through your paperwork before you sign because some lines of credit have established termination fees.

Lower Interest Rate

When compared to traditional car loans, revolving credit car loans typically have lower interest rates. The rates are typically at 2 to 5 percent lower. Additionally, revolving loans have less interest costs over the life of the loans because the borrower is only responsible for paying interest on borrowed amounts.

Revolving credit car loans may provide advantages to certain borrowers with proven financial discipline.

The Team

Meet the big dreamers! Our team is made up of the parents, teachers, businessmen and women, volunteer base, and so many more who choose to invest in the leaders of the next generation. Here are the core staff members involved in connecting it all to make it happen.

Michael Hirsch
Executive Director

Michael is passionate about seeing dreams come true in the hearts and lives of youth. In 2011, he launched Loveworks with the focus to start an afterschool program for middle school students. Under his leadership, Loveworks has impacted the lives of over 10,000 students and is on a mission to give every student an opportunity to lead. Michael has been working with youth for more than 15 years, and is dedicated to inspiring young leaders. Michael is a father of two girls and one boy, loving husband to Selah, and a 13-time Ironman triathlete.

Carolyn Le
Associate Director

Carolyn is the resident botanist at Loveworks! She first got involved with Loveworks as a college volunteer, expecting just to tutor students. Her passion to see young teens discover their potential and live into their dreams was soon reignited, and she found herself more at Loveworks than in the pharmaceutical lab that she researched in. She traded in her lab coat and hasn’t looked back since! She’s a big foodie and loves music, so you’ll typically see her brunching on the weekends or at concerts big and small.

Elle Shroyer
Director of Operations

Elle joins us with a background in higher education administration and program management.  She is a world traveler and loves to learn about other cultures.  More than anything, Elle enjoys meeting new people.  She loves to listen and ask questions to inquire about hopes and dreams, and working with people to establish the steps to achieve their goals.  Elle is happily married with three children who love Raising Little Leaders and working in the Loveworks Garden.

Brent Wheelbarger
Director of Youth Entrepreneurship

Brent has been involved in student entrepreneurship ever since Wristworld began in 2018, a student tech start-up run by middle school and high school students. He himself is an entrepreneur as he is founder and CEO of Trifecta Communications, a media/technology company specializing in advertising, production and emerging technology. Trifecta started in the room next to Brent’s garage and has since grown to serve governmental, non-profit and business clients in Oklahoma and internationally. Brent is also co-founder of Viribus VR Labs along with Bob Eskew and Tony Williams, a tech-startup developing virtual reality therapy tools for children with cerebral palsy.

Grain and flour

Our two pizza bakers Martin and Oli at "Dopo Pizza" have dealt with the topic of finding the best organic flour possible in the region. Only the highest quality flours are suitable for their doughs with high hydration and long dough processing. They have chosen the Salzburger Mühle in Plainfeld, Hans Frauenlob's Hochmühle and all the partners who join the Lumberjack project are convinced by this choice.

They both liked the mill right from the start - a small family business in the 3rd generation, a continuous partner of Bio Austria since 1994. Uncomplicated communication, very competent advice - the ideal basis for a good cooperation. Wheat, durum, rye and spelt flours as well as coarse grains are produced in conventional and organic quality in the Frauenlobs mill. The mill is a combined wheat and rye mill with 16 passages, which means that all types of grain are ground using the same mill. In addition to the common types of grain, wholemeal flours are also made from various ancient or special grain types such as emmer, einkorn, forest rye, kamut, buckwheat or millet, which are ground in a stone mill.

Bio-Brot,  Bio Mehle

Mehl, Sortiment

Only grain which is grown in Austria with the exception of Kamut is ground. Since there is practically no cultivation of ground grain in the Salzburg region, the grain comes mainly from Upper and Lower Austria. The organic wheat mostly comes from the Pannonian region, the organic rye and the organic spelt from the Inn- and Mühlviertel.

There is a regional initiative to grow the last remaining ancient grain, the Laufener Landweizen in Salzburg again. This season's harvest, which the Frauenlobs grind comes from Sankt Georgen and from Erentrudishof in the city of Salzburg.

The taste of the Laufener Landweizen is nutty and very pleasant and when it is processed, it shows particularly good baking properties. The pastries made from Laufener Landweizen stay fresh and juicy for a long time.

The Wagrain baker and bread & pastry supplier at the Lumberjack is Florian Steinbauer, member of the Salzburg organic bakers, an experienced sourdough baker, he processes Laufen wheat with passion.

Dolce & Gabbana underlines power of connection in cinematic narrative

June 20, 2022

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are portrayed in a dramatic visual representation of their lives. Image credit: Dolce & Gabbana

Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana is bringing consumers into the personal story of founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana through a dramatic film campaign.

Shot by Academy Award-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore, “The Strength of Connections” illustrates the story of how the two designers grew up, crossed paths and built a storied fashion house together. The campaign intends to underpin the power and importance of human relationships, overcoming adversity and achieving one’s goals.

Strength of connection
The designers’ paths first crossed over the telephone in 1980 and in 1984. With a limited budget and a shared passion for fashion design, they launched what would eventually become a renowned Italian brand.

The short cinematic narrative opens with two young boys, in their separate lives, beginning to see the beauty in art and design from a young age.

One is enamored by the sculptures inside an Italian cathedral and the other watches tailors at work in their studios.

Two young boys with big dreams grow up and join together to achieve their goals

Moving along a visual timeline, the film jumps to the boys in their teenage years, where one is shown forming structures out of clay and the other one is drawing sketches and sewing materials together.

“Dreams have the power to connect us to the future,” a narrator says. “They transmit the energy that comes from desire.

“But sometimes our dreams connect with someone else’s,” he continues as the film shows a young man picking up the phone to make a call. “And together they conquer the world.”

That one phone call marked the start of their journey together as Dolce & Gabbana. The real-life Domenico and Stefano are shown in their present-day studio, approving designs and working with artisans.

Behind the scenes of the short film

The film campaign is accompanied by an unpublished instrumental piece by Academy Award-winning composer Ennio Morricone.

Dolce & Gabbana has worked with Mr. Tornatore on a number of campaigns, but the Italian filmmaker is best known for his film Cinema Paradiso, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1989.

Dreams turned reality
The story of Dolce & Gabbana serves as a reminder that dreams can become engrained in one’s mind at such a young age, and that nurturing young talent and ability is critical to the fashion and design industry.

In February, the Italian house committed to fostering the next generation of fashion designers and creatives by supporting emerging brand Miss Sohee in its debut at Milan Fashion Week.

As part of this dedication to lifting up young designers, South Korean designer Sohee Park presented her newest Miss Sohee collection inside the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda studio on Feb. 24. Accompanying the project was a dedicated film that invited audiences inside Ms. Park’s world, her inspiration and her creative process (see story).

In its ongoing #DGRealPeople campaign, the brand spotlights young architects, sales managers, fashion creatives, photographers and models in various cities, praising creativity and individuality — core principals of the fashion house.

The series follows young people who discuss their passions and how living in their respective cities fuels their personal and career-oriented goals (see story).

This is not quite ordinary briefcase: Louis Vuitton presents a new collection

Carefully designed handbags for the next generation of business men.

Virgil Abloh, creative director of the Louis Vuitton brand and their men's division, has just launched The New Formals Collection, which creates a luxury twist in the world of traditional business accessories, including the must-see briefcases. Introduced by a series of photographs taken by Johan Sandberg, the new line-up consists of seven silhouettes will be in Louis Vuitton boutiques this spring.

For now, key pieces include a mini Soft Trunk that can be worn diagonally across the body. There is also a completely black version of the Steamer PM bag, which is also made of premium leather, accented with a white straight chain. Briefcases come in monogram and canvas leather variants, with a slightly more rigid structure, while other models can easily bend under your arm because of their delicate shapes. If you travel frequently for work, a large business bags with large pockets up front will be of great use to you.

The aesthetics of the new campaign and the designs themselves exude glamor, which in itself is purposeful. We can safely say that Louis Vuitton brand retains its young clientele along this line, while at the same time attracting other men who have a slightly more conservative taste.

Stage 1 – Analysis

Project analysis

Understanding of the requirements, languages and contents of the project, and selection of the necessary tools, glossaries, and dictionaries. During the analysis, the quote is prepared and the necessary resources and deadlines for completing the project are established. The delivery time is set by the team, depending on the project size, unless the client establishes a specific deadline.

Stage 2 – Translation

Translation of contents

According to the project requirements, we select our most qualified native translator, according to the experience in the field in question. The translator receives the instruction, guidance, and tools necessary to ensure the quality of the work and the timely delivery. In the case of handwritten documents or documents with poor quality, it may be necessary to transcribe the entire content before the translation starts.

Stage 3 – Proofreading

Proofreading of the work

The proofreading is always carried out by a second translator, so that the translation is finalized with a more critical and impartial view. After all the correction are made or doubts are clarified, a re-reading is done to analyze the transparency and consistency of the text. If necessary, the translators involved in the projects will make a joint analysis to clarify potential differences in the work.

Stage 4 – Delivery

Project delivery

Before delivery, the full project undergoes a final reading and a rigorous internal quality control process that allows us to identify and correct possible flaws, or even to consider possible opportunities to improve the final work. In the case of certified translations, it is at this stage that the translation will be duly certified. To finish, the work is delivered to the client within the agreed deadline, and as established by the client.

What kind of translation do you need?

At LX Certificado, we do all types of translations. Whether it is to integrate a personal or business project or even for your consultation and information. We have experienced professionals in each of the specific translation areas, so we can adapt to your project.

Commercial translation is essential to keep companies in foreign markets, and to assist in business relations with costumers around the world, so that language is not a limitation. This service is suitable for companies, producers, suppliers, analysts, investors and even government institutions.

It includes the translation of declarations, medical opinions, reports, theses, and trials.

This is the most complex and specific type of translation, which requires research and consultation from various sources, so that the content in the target language is not changed or lost, and in the medical field this could have serious consequences.

Financial translation is intended for national and international companies, since due to the various factors, there is a need for the presentation and elaboration of accounts, financial plans, or market studies in several languages. Financial translation also helps in obtaining foreign investments and entering markets.

In the translation of scientific contents, the importance of accuracy increases precisely because of the need to deliver a text that is clear, cohesive, clean and that also reflects the expressions and context of the area that the subject matter addresses. It is not enough to be fluent in the language, it is also necessary to have knowledge in the area in question.

For a foreign document to be legally valid, these documents must be translated and certified with the competent authorities. The certified translation applies to documents such as certificates, declarations, judgements, titles, contracts, and other documents that must be officially translated.

Translation of documents prepared by technical writers, such as manuals, patents, user guides and technical sheets. These texts integrate the theoretical and practical component of technical information, with specific terminology and special needs, requiring specialized translators in a given field.

If you need an urgent translation service, you can count on our team! We will be available to provide you with a professional service, within very short deadlines and according to your needs. Just tell us when you need your translations, and we will internally organize the complete process on time.

Legal documents (sentences, contracts, deeds, laws) must be translated and certified in order to be effective abroad. This modality also meets the requirement for presentation in Portuguese institutions since they must be presented in Portuguese when issued in a foreign language.

If you need clarifications or to know what type of translation you need, contact us now!

01 873 2134
A girl who sued a car driver after she was knocked off a go kart in a Dublin housing estate has withdrawn her claim at the High Court.
Mr Justice Michael Hanna told Kelsie Crawford and her mother it was a wise decision to withdraw the case.
He told them, if the evidence was not there, it was not there.
The judge added he was sorry he could not give them “a happier Christmas”.
Ms Crawford (15), Cherry Orchard Crescent, Ballyfermot, had, through her mother Vicky Doolin Crawford, sued Elizabeth Malone, Clogherinkoe, Co Kildare over the incident at Lough Conn Drive, Ballyfermot, on November 3rd, 2015.
It was claimed Ms Malone’s car hit the rear of the go kart in which Kelsie, then aged 10, was travelling and she was flung into the air. It was further claimed there was failure to stop, slow down, swerve or in any way control or manage the vehicle so as to avoid the collision.
A full defence was filed and Ms Malone contended the go kart came at speed from behind a wall and a parked car and it was an unfortunate incident.
Opening the case, Gerard Tynan SC, for Ms Crawford, said she had been playing at a friend’s house .
He said she was knocked unconscious but a CT scan carried out later was normal. A number of her ribs and her collarabone were broken. She later suffered headaches after the incident, of which she had no memory.
Counsel said his side would argue there was no reason the driver could not have seen the child.
Witness Eric Doyle said Ms Crawford was propelled from the go kart. He said there was no reason why the driver could not have seen the children on the road.
Micheál Ó Scanaill SC, for Ms Malone, put it to Mr Doyle there were cars parked on both sides of the street. Counsel said the driver would say there were cars parked on both sides of the road.
When he asked Mr Doyle if she was wrong, the witness said she was.
Counsel put it to the witness that a garda who came on the scene recalled there were cars parked on both sides of the road.
Mr Doyle replied the cars could have come after the incident happened and said he had not seen any cars on the road.
Asked about the matter by the judge, Mr Doyle said he was not paying attention to cars parked on the road.
Mr Doyle agreed with Mr Ó Scanaill that it was likely he was mistaken on the matter and he agreed the presence of cars on the road was significant.
Counsel said the driver would say the go kart came from behind a wall and a parked car at speed. Mr Doyle agreed the go kart drew his attention and he did not expect it . He said he heard “the brakes stopping.”
Counsel put to him, if the driver was driving at speed, she would not have been able to stop the car. Mr Doyle said he did not know.
Asked why he had not told gardaí he was a witness to the accident, Mr Doyle said he never thought of it.

tiny mujigaeddeok (rainbow rice cake):무지개떡

My springform pan won’t fit in my steamer, so I’ve been practicing 무지개떡 using 3″ tart pans, which DO fit in my steamer. So I end up with lots of mini ddeok!!

I’m still having trouble colouring them, but I got the cooking time right (I steam them on high for ten minutes, then simmer for three..) These are the only food colourings I have right now. It is good for spring, I think!

Also, I added a bit of vanilla to the blue layer. It’s delicious!

The recipe is here.

  1. Coolest defense game I played.

    The upgrades allow to improve the defenders. It is not too hard but interesting till the end.

  2. After second thought, this game is really quite good

    Took me a while to figure out that you have to choose a skill set and put your points toward that one set, and not scatter your points all over the place, thereby reducing your effectiveness in the game.
