Price of Homes in Riverside County Increase by 22.6%

RIVERSIDE – The median price of a home in Riverside County jumped by 22.6 percent in January, compared with the same month a year ago, while the number of homes sold dipped by 9.9 percent, a real estate information service announced today.

According to DataQuick, the median price of a Riverside County home was $277,000 last month, up from $226,000 in January 2013. A total of 2,576 homes were sold in the county, down from 2,858 during the same month the previous year.

A total of 14,471 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to DataQuick. That was down 21.4 percent from 18,415 in December and down 9.9 percent from 16,058 in January 2013.

The median price for a Southern California home was $380,000 in January, down 3.8 percent from $395,000 in December and up 18.4 percent from $321,000 in January 2013.

”The economy is growing, but Southland home sales have fallen on a year- over-year basis for four consecutive months now and remain well below average,” according to DataQuick President John Walsh. ”Why? We’re still putting a lot of the blame on the low inventory. But mortgage availability, the rise in interest rates and higher home prices, too.”

Mon premier livre de contes et de comptines, by franciszka Themerson.

Recently, I mentioned a book called Tricoti-Tricota illustrated by Françoise Themerson, do you remember ?
OK, so Memo Editions has reissued this amazing book who contains four tales of the 40's, illustrated by her and originally printed in London in 1947.

Franciszka Themerson was born in Warsaw, she is the daughter of the artists Jakus and Lucja Weinles. Franciszka was painter, illustrator, director, a graphic artist and stage designer.
After her studies at the Academy of Arts of Warsaw, she met in 1929 the writer Stefan Themerson who will become her husband and with whom she collaborated on several projects.

Despite all her occupations, she always was passionated about drawing and has illustrated 59 books including 28 for children and 12 written by Stefan.

During the 30's, she has illustrated several books in Poland including the famous, Pan Tom Buduje Dom. ( Reissued in 2007 on the occasion of the centenary of her birth. )
In parallel, Stefan and Franciszka are making experimental films in Poland.

In 1938, they moved to Paris, the capital of all Avant Gardes at that time. Franciszka was illustrated two books of May d'alençon for Le Père Castor Editions called "Tricoti tricota" and "Tout en soie".

The Second World War upset Themerson's projects. After a forced separation, Stefan and Franciszka found themselves in London in 1942.
In 1948, they created Gaberbocchus Press, an independent publishing house which Franciszka was the Art Director.
Themerson's goal is to publish their own artworks but also to make discover the European Avant Garde Overseas.
They published for the first time in England autors like Guillaume Apollinaire, Alfred Jarry, Raymond Queneau, Kurt Schwitters.
They collaborated with the philosopher Bertrand Russell and published The good citizen's Alphabet .
Stefan will be the only English member of the Oulipo founded in 1960. They said they wanted to produce "best lookers" more then "best sellers." They conceived books as an artistic object as much as creative writing.
They were very influenced by the english nonsense, as it is shown by the Gaberbocchus choice, latinized name of Lewis Carroll, The Jabberwocky from The other side of the mirror, Francisza's favorite book.
In Peddy Bottom's adventures, Stefan's texts and Franciszka's drawings mix a universe of fantasy which denounced the cruelty of the world by absurdity.

Caramel illustrated by Leonard Weisgard, 1962

I have a lot of books I'd like to share with you but if I put all my books at once, the blog wouldn't have interest. Believe me it is hard to resist, sometimes i would like to put 3 or 4 books but it wouldn't reasonable! So I have to take my troubles patiently ! I have so many books, games, advertisings i would like to make you discover !!!! :D
Ok... So ! This is one of my favourite illustrator... Let me present Mr Leonard Weisgard !!! I'm such a fan of his work ! It has been months I wanted to talk about ...

I found this nice biography on the website dedicated to him :

Mr Weisgard was born on December 13 in New haven, Connecticut.
He spent his childhood in England and moved back to The United Stated when he has 8 years old.
At school in New York, he found illustrations monotonous and thought that the world could not be all that dreary and limited to only one color.

During his studies at the Pratt Institute and the New School for Social Research, he was influenced by primitive cave paintings, Gothic and Renaissance art and avant-garde French illustrators of children’s books of the 1920s.

He used a wide range of colors and media in his books, including gouache, poster paint, crayon, chalk, decoupage, stenciling and pen and ink.

Leonard Weisgard also studied dance with Martha Graham and worked in the field of window display. He began his career making illustrations for magazines such as Good Housekeeping, The New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.

His first book, Suki, the Siamese Pussy, was published in 1937, followed by an adaptation of Cinderella.

In 1939 the first of more than two dozen collaborations with Margaret Wise Brown was published, The Noisy Book.
Their 1947 book, The Little Island,which Brown wrote under the pseudonym Golden MacDonald, won the Caldecott Medal for best-illustrated children’s book.

Weisgard also collaborated with other children’s book writers and wrote books he illustrated himself, sometimes under the pseudonym “Adam Green".

Leonard Weisgard married Phyllis Monnot in 1951 and they had three children, Abigail (1952), Christina (1954) and Ethan (1957).
Leonard and Phyllis often worked together creating set and costume designs with Leonard sketching and Phyllis making patterns so the designs could become a reality. He designed the stage sets and costumes for several productions of the San Francisco Ballet, including The Dryad and The Nutcracker.

During the years he lived in Roxbury, Connecticut, Weisgard was deeply involved with children's education. He lectured extensively and worked closely with The American Library Association.

Leonard Weisgard moved to Denmark with his wife and children in 1969 where he lived for the rest of his life. His children and grandchildren - Ethan and Midoriko's son  Yuji (1989) and daughter Nanami (1987) - all live in Copenhagen.

Choosing A Rottweiler Breeder

Taking the time to choose a responsible and reputable Rottweiler breeder is hugely important when you are ready to add a Rottweiler puppy to your family!

That’s because your new puppy is going to be a member of your family for many years to come!

Rottweilers are the perfect dog. They’re magnificent to look at, and their personalities are an ideal combination of strength, courage, affection and sweetness

If you want your relationship to be a long, happy and healthy one (rather than a disappointing, frustrating or even tragic one), you have to start out on the right foot.

What Makes A ‘Good’ Rottweiler Breeder?

As with so many other breeds, Rottweilers have ridden a roller coaster in terms of popularity, and not all dog breeders have had the best interests of their dogs (or the breed in general) at heart.

As a result there are many Rotties out there who aren’t good representatives of their breed, either physically or temperamentally.

Research Is Hugely Important!

Puppies are so adorably irresistible, that many a level-headed person (who definitely knows better) has melted at the first set of ‘puppy dog eyes’ they saw….

…. and ended up taking home an unsuitable, poorly bred, or sickly puppy!

Rottweiler Puppy
Rotties are very smart dogs and are eager to please

A puppy should NEVER be an impulse buy, and long before you ever get your first whiff of ‘puppy breath’, you need to have done plenty of research on your chosen breed and know exactly what you’re looking for – and what you need to avoid.

To make it a little easier, here are some tips, an idea of the things you should be looking for, and some of the questions you need to ask any Rottweiler breeder you’re considering.

1. Study the Breed Standard

To learn more about how a well-bred Rottweiler should look, visit my Rottweiler Breed Standard page. You’ll find excerpts from both the AKC (American Kennel Club) and the ADRK (Allegmeiner Deutscher Rottweiler Klub in Germany) Standards.

2. Talk to, and visit, several Rottweiler breeders

Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions (as long as they’re relevant and you’ve done your ‘homework’ in terms of understanding the breed). A good Rottweiler breeder will actually expect this ….. and welcome it.

Also don’t be surprised if you get the impression that the breeder is evaluating YOU too! They want their puppies to go to good, permanent homes with people who understand and care about the breed – so you have to pass their ‘tests’ as well.

3. Make sure the recommended health screenings have been done

Many breeds are susceptible to developing particular health concerns and a responsible Rottweiler breeder will put in a lot of effort to make sure that their breeding stock is free of genetic defects.

For Rottweilers, one of the main concerns is hip dysplasia.

If a puppy has parents who have hip dysplasia (even if it’s very mild), or has dogs in its’ lineage who are carriers of the gene for this disease, he/she is at a much higher risk of developing the condition.

Policia 2
Rottweilers are seen in many countries today, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, the Netherlands, Brazil, New Zealand, parts of Asia and S. Africa.

Final Thoughts….

When it comes to choosing a Rottweiler breeder, once you’ve done your homework it comes down to a personal decision.

  • It’s a good idea to avoid breeders who have more than two different breeds.These may be puppy mills, back-yard breeders, or puppy-brokers – all of whom are often more interested in the money they can make selling puppies, than they are in improving any particular breed.
  • It’s not good to buy a pup whose momma is younger than two, or older than nine, years of age. Or has had more than one litter in the past 18 months.
  • A Rottweiler breeder who is an active member of a Breed Club such as the United States Rottweiler Club (, the American Rottweiler Club (, The Rottweiler Club of Canada (, the Rottweiler Club of Great Britain ( or one of many other recognized national clubs/organizations, should produce excellent puppies.

July Tag #1

July Tag 2012
(1 of 2)
This tag... I struggled with this tag but kept plugging away at it.  I was determined.  Almost chucked it a couple of time.  Then I remembered, "embrace your imperfections".
Glossy paper, DI: Spun Sugar, Broken China, Black Soot.
TH Americana Sihlouettes, Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam.

Our Lady Liberty has Copic all over her.  Tim Holtz's Pen Nibs with a combination of Black Copic markers on the necks and some Ranger Patina (verdigris) to appear rustic, vintage, etc. and Ranger's Crackle Accent.  Alcohol Inks; Watermellon and Sail Boat Blue onto Glossy Paper then used the"Duster Air" can for the splattered look.   Copic Markers used were N4, 110, B00, BG11, G00, C3, BV0000, R00.
Spica Pens, Gold & Silver.
I used Glossy Accent on the Pen Nibs to keep them in place.

Here i completed Uncle Sam's top hat.  I used the Copic Markers, and added a nice thick layer of Crackle Accent.  The birds stamp in the background are from SceneScapes.com.

I use TH's
Paper Distresser for a look of aged edges.  TH Numericals #4 painted with Copic R27.  The second Lady Liberty I have no idea who made it because I purchased it at a SB yard sale.  I love anything NY.  I'm a proud New Yorker
My vision was seeing Uncle Sam pointing at the Terrorists as a  "watch out".  It  brought back the feelings and pain of the WTC attacks on September 11th.
It's that time of the year again...

I know i will never Forget...

Marjie Kemper said...

Oooh lah lah, those pen nibs have never looked better! Love this cool patriotic tag!

Anita Houston said...

WAY WAY WAY COOL!!! Both of them! Love the NYC scene, and then Lady Liberty's head plate....AWESOME!!!

Thank you ladies for your comments. They do help to keep you going when you're running low on steam.

MCAN – Muslim Corpers’ Association Of Nigeria

Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria at a Glance

MCAN is an acronym for the “Muslim Corpers’ Association of Nigeria” and has for more than three (3) decades achieved a very close relationship with Muslim gradates that have successfully qualified for the one year National Youth Service in the various states of the Federation.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme brought to limelight by the Decree No 24 of 1973, made possible in Nigeria the deployment of eligible graduates from universities and other relevant institutions of higher learning within the country and abroad to undertake a National Service in states/areas other than their state of origin. This then made it possible for fresh Muslim graduates to gather under a platform which the Muslim Corps Members could organise and coordinate themselves for the purposes of collectively carrying out Islamic responsibilities; hence, the formation of Muslim Corpers Association of Nigeria (MCAN).

The Association was inaugurate during 1978/1979 service year. MCAN has its National Headquarters in Mabushi, Abuja and branches all over the 36 states of the Federation including the FCT.

The Association was registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria in 1994. The membership of the Association is open to all serving Muslim corps members in the Federation and the FCT. All serving Muslim corps members constitute MCAN upon registration with MCAN at their arrival on the various NYSC Orientation Camps.

Muslim Corpers’ Association of Nigeria (MCAN) members has the following aims and objectives:

1. To serve as coordinating body and a forum in the exchange of ideas between Muslim corps members in all parts of the federation.

2. To fight and protect the legitimate interest and rights of all Muslim Youth Corps members in the country.

3. To promote better understanding of Islam among Muslim corps members, students and rest of the populace with a view to having a more dedicated and unified ummah.

4. To coordinate the efforts of various Islamic organizations in the propagation of Islam in Nigeria and throughout the world.

The association works towards achieving the set aims and objectives through the various programmes at the various levels of organisation.

The programmes of the association have been scheduled in-line with those of the NYSC to allow members participate fully in the National Youth Service without hindrance and at the same time contribute in no small measure to personal and community development activities. Thus, we have the pre-orientation camp programmes, the orientation programmes, and the post-orientation programmes.

The Pre-Orientation Programme

The programme is aimed at raising the consciousness of potential corps members in institutions within the country. Here, MCAN liaises with Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) by jointly organising seminars to familiarise prospective corps members with the programmes of MCAN and NYSC.

Pamphlets are also distributed to increase outreach. These programmes start at about 2-3 months to the announced date of commencement of orientation.

The Orientation Programme

This programme commences as the orientation camp opens for each service year across the country. Here, the objectives are; to identify and mobilise Muslim corps members, to provide an atmosphere for the pursuit of Islamic personal development and closer interaction between Muslim corps members of various backgrounds. It also provides an opportunity to reach out to non-Muslims.

These objectives are achieved by:-

Having representatives of MCAN present lectures on orientation camps
Use of posters, welcome banners, and notice boards to publicise mosque activities
Regular Da’wah programmes in the Mosque over the period of orientation with syllabus covering different aspects of the religion, such as ‘Aqeedah, ‘ibaadah, and mu’amalaat.
Islamic video show
Memorisation of short verses of the Qur’an during Mosque activities
Minor humanitarian works on camp by the corps members to improve interaction e.g. improving a drainage outlet, construction of small bridge etc.
The Post-Orientation Activities

The post-orientation activities runs from when corps members leave orientation camps to the very last day before their passing out parade. These activities are generally divided into educational/Da’wah programmes, visitation programmes and community development programmes.

Educational/Da’wah Programmesincludes

· Weekly Al-Usrah programme

· Arabic and Qur’anic classes for MCAN members

· Village weekend Da’wah programmes

· Radio and television programmes in more than 16 states of the federation

· Publishing of monthly bulletin

· Classes for reverts

· Free tutorial classes in secondary schools in more than 12 states of the federation

· National seminars and leadership training programmes e.g. seminar on nikkah etc.

Visitation Programme involves

· Regular visits to prisons across the country. Here, the visitation holds every Friday where corps members conduct Jum’ah services together with the inmates or on monthly basis which involves lectures and distribution of gifts

· Visiting motherless babies homes. This usually takes place bi-annually

· Other visits are also organised based on the circumstances

Community Development Programmes involves

· Renovating and construction of Mosques and Arabic schools in communities. Some of the projects are completed over years.

· Islamic video clubs/book centres in more than 20 states of the federation with the biggest at the National (Mosque) Headquarters, Abuja.

Day 1. Black and white challenge.

This morning, as I am preparing a long progressive blog piece on a 24 x 18 painting I did last week, I received an invitation on Facebook to participate in a week long black and white photo challenge. Subject of the challenge is my life.

I am a lousy photographer and see in colors, often vibrant ones. So, this is really a challenge for me. (Grumble. Grumble. I cannot do this.) I picked up my camera and started shooting around the house. When I opened myself up to the project, it became more and more fun. Without moving a thing and using natural light, I began seeing subjects and compositions all around me. This turned out to be a great creative exercise. You might try it yourself.

Happy Earth Day!

I thought that today would be the perfect day to follow up with the outcomes of this weekend's two Earth Day Celebrations! The first event was Dig In! which is a forum that was held at Marbles Museum to promote the idea of community gardening in Wake County. Dig In! was a tremendous success! It was great to see so many folks out and about to support Wake County's community gardening system. I have high hopes that we will continue to see more community gardens start throughout Raleigh and Wake County!

The second event was the annual Earth Day Celebration! This even was also a tremendous success. There were all kinds of fun events for people of all ages to enjoy. I have posted a few pictures from the Earth Day Celebration! Please remember to do your part to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

As always, I will continue working to uphold my personal values of environmental stewardship along with the official City council mission statement:
  • We are a 21st Century City of Innovation focusing on environmental, cultural and economic sustainability.
  • We conserve and protect our environmental resources through best practices and cutting edge conservation and stewardship, land use, infrastructure and building technologies.

Raleigh Announces Green Building Training Certification Program!

The City of Raleigh's Office of Sustainability has developed a Green Building Training Program through a grant from the Department of Energy and the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.

The Green Building Training Program will offer classes and certificates for a $25.00 refundable fee to construction professionals. The courses will include LEED certification, Solar Panel Installation, Solar Thermal Installation, Green Plumbing, Sustainable Landscaping, and Home Energy Rater System (HERS), along with several others.

Classes will begin in May and continue through December 2012.

The Program will provide a great opportunity for local construction businesses to equip themselves with new skills and tools that will make them more competitive in an increasingly green building market. The City has partnered with Wake Technical Community College to develop and broaden the courses being offered through the Program. This is on the first programs of it's kind, and just one of the many great partnerships in Raleigh to help grow our economy is a sustainable manner.

City Council Approves Stormwater Projects

Throughout my terms on council and as Chair of the Comprehensive Planning Committee I have worked hard on developing strong stormwater standards. These help establish local systems to control the flow of water and protect waterways from excessive sedimentary runoff from construction sites.

The following projects were reviewed and prioritized by the Stormwater Management Advisory Commission (SMAC) in March and forwarded to the City Council. The approved drainage improvement projects total an estimated total cost of $340,000. All Drainage Petition projects are funded by the Stormwater Utility fees.

  • Maram Court - severe channel erosion in a tributary to Big Branch which flows through the backyards of several homes. The City will stabilize approximately 80 feet of the drainage way by bioengineering methods.
  • Sylvester Street - A tributary to Southgate Branch which bisects the backyards has severe erosion. The work will shift the stream away from the driveway and tie back in along the eastern side of 2916 Sylvester Street. The area will be stabilized with bioengineering plantings .in the areas of eroded bank on both properties.
  • South Saunders Street - To help prevent street flooding, the Stormwater Utility Division will upgrade the existing drainage system from a pipe inlet behind 2621 South Saunders Street to a catch basin on the west side of South Saunders Street.
  • Onslow Road - The work at 1408 and 1416 Onslow Road will correct severe erosion and create a floodplain bench and stabilized with plantings.
  • Lake Boone Trail - A collapsing and separating corrugated pipe has caused severe erosion and sink holes on a property at 413 and 501 Lake Boone Trail. The work will replace approximately 216 feet of pipe.
  • Shavenrock Place - A 15 inch diameter concrete pipe will be replaced to correct severe erosion.
  • Silkwood Way – an open channel and pipe to alleviate erosion caused by uphill development

Brentwood Boys and Girls Club Career Fair

Last night, I had the opportunity to meet some great kids at the Brentwood Boys and Girls Club! I was invited to be a part of their Career Fair, which was held for about 150 kids, ages 5-16.

The Career Fair was a great opportunity for these young people to learn about different career paths available to them. They asked some great questions! It was a lot of fun to be able to speak with about both of things that I do, pharmacy and City Council!

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Wake County provide a wealth of programs and opportunities to children throughout Wake County! They really do a tremendous job, and it was great to learn more about their organization and be a part of the Career Fair!

DIG IN! The Down and Dirty on Community Gardens!

On Saturday April 17th, Advocates for Health in Action will present Dig In!, a local summit on Community Gardens. The event will be a great opportunity to learn how to build, maintain, and sustain a community garden. Dig In! will be held at Marbles Museum from 9:00am to 12:30pm. The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature workshops, presentations from community garden experts, educational booths and a guide to working community gardens throughout Wake County.

I am very excited about this event, and believe that there are endless benefits to community gardens. Community gardens provide easy access to healthy, locally grown foods while promoting community involvement and a healthy lifestyle. There are several community gardens throughout Raleigh, and it would be great to see this number continue to grow!

Dig In! promises to be lots of fun and very informative! Planet Earth Celebration will also be going on at the Museum of Natural Sciences on Saturday April 17th. I hope to see you there!

Strickland Road Traffic

I have begun receiving a series of letters from residents of The Cypress hoping for a new stoplight at Harvest Oaks Drive and Strickland Road.

The first sunflower reminds me of the fields and fields of sunflowers in Provence and the wonderful Van Gogh art that was inspired by them.  The intensity of the light in Provence is truly unique and well described by Van Gogh as almost piercing your brain through your eyes.  Here is a sunflower montage produced from a photo taken yesterday in a friend's garden.  Hope you enjoy it.

Milestone: 100th new retail/F&B outlet opens at Washington's airport

The massive overhaul of nearly every store and restaurant at Washington's Reagan National and Dulles airports has reached a major milestone with the opening of the 100th new shopping and dining option between the two airports.

(Airport World - February 29, 2016) The 100th new concession – fashion jewellery brand Erwin Pearl – recently opened at Dulles International Airport just 21 months into the four-year redevelopment programme.

“From the beginning of the redevelopment, our focus has been to bring a new variety of shopping and dining options to the airports, providing our passengers with local, regional and national favourites that will enhance and highlight their time with us,” says Steve Baker, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's vice president for customer and concession development.

“Our passengers’ journeys begin with us, and we want to make sure that beginning is a positive, memorable experience.”

Establishing both airports with world-class food and retail, as well as creating a sense of place that incorporates the uniqueness and identity of the National Capital Region, has been a top priority for MWAA and its concession manager, MarketPlace Development.

“It’s vital that the airport food and retail offerings express the character of the DC metropolitan area and fulfill the needs of the modern traveller,” says Paul McGinn, president of MarketPlace Development.

Passengers at Dulles International can now indulge in a selection of specialty brands and local favourites, including Burberry, Montblanc, L’Occitane, Michael Kors, Swarovski, Coach, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, District ChopHouse, Smashburger, DC's own Chef Geoff’s, and ABC’s 'The Chew' host, chef Michael Symon’s Bar Symon.

Passengers flying in and out of Ronald Reagan National Airport can now enjoy noteworthy offerings that include DC’s Ben’s Chili Bowl, Chef Mike Isabella’s Kapnos Taverna, Legal Sea Foods, Lebanese Taverna, Taylor Gourmet, Cava Mezza Grill, American Tap Room, &pizza, Spanx, Tumi, Brighton, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, and Vineyard Vines.

The redevelopment remains ongoing at both airports.

In coming months passengers will see additional new offerings, including Wolfgang Puck’s 'The Kitchen'  at Dulles International and 'Big Bowl', serving authentic Thai and Chinese cuisine, at Reagan National.

Further announcements of new stores and restaurants will be made in the coming months.

Spring 2011

I forgot to take pictures of my magnolia blooming and the lilacs are almost done blooming too.  Here are some small irises, a strange dogwood, and a broom almost ready to burst into bloom.  I just love this time of year.  The weather is beautiful today.  I took off work again to work in the yard next week.  I am hoping this weather is what I have to look forward to!

Meant to Bea

In April of 2009, the world lost one of its unique talents. It’s hard to imagine anyone ever being quite exactly like Bea Arthur. Known for her considerable height, her well-projected baritone voice and her comic “takes” which could elicit gales of laughter from an audience without the need for words, she was a TV treasure, not to mention a terrific stage actress.

Ms. Arthur initially toiled away for years in plays and musicals, both on and off-Broadway, all the while balancing life as a wife and mother. She gained a degree of success as Lucy Brown in "Threepenny Opera", but it was her supporting role as Yenta in "Fiddler on the Roof" which got people to really start noticing her. When she won a Tony award for playing Vera Charles in "Mame," her reputation as a scene-owning comedienne was cemented, at least as the theatre world was concerned.

Then in 1971, she played Edith Bunker’s boisterous, liberated and domineering cousin Maude Findlay on an episode of the highly popular sitcom All in the Family. This led to her own series, Maude, which was a big success in its own right, earning the actress a 1977 Emmy Award. Maude is legendary for having tackled previously (and, in some cases, still) touchy subjects such as feminism, racism, abortion, alcoholism, plastic surgery and more. Arthur, who never let the promise of money keep her in a place in which she felt as if she were merely marking time, declined to continue the series in 1978, though it was still popular.

While Maude was still in production, she found time to appear in the big screen debacle Mame, an adaptation of the hit musical, which had starred Angela Lansbury on stage, but was done on film by Lucille Ball in an almost career-killing move. Arthur’s husband Gene Saks directed it, but Lucy held the reins and, even though she had requested Arthur to reprise her role, she also undercut it by draining a lot of the humor out of it and tweaking the music to suit her own frog-like voice. If nothing else (and trust me, there’s little else!), the movie served to capture Arthur’s rendition of “The Man in the Moon” on film along with a couple of her deadpan lines. Bea’s interaction with her dresser following the “Moon” number is a comic highlight.

Her resume between that time and 1985 includes some real dillies, including a role as the singing cantina-tender in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special and even her own TV special that featured such unlikely guests as Melba Moore and Rock Hudson. She also did a cameo in Mel Brooks’ History of the World: Part I.

In 1985, she was given a script that called for a “Bea Arthur type” and somehow she was deemed right for the part! This was, of course, the pilot for The Golden Girls and, here, she was granted one of her all-time best parts and given recognition in a series that simply refuses to die. It had an almost comically-long run on Lifetime, playing practically all day, every day and now airs on both WE (Women’s Entertainment) and The Hallmark Channel in lengthy blocks. Despite having been cancelled in 1992 (when, again, Arthur chose to leave, rather than milk a thing dry, though, for my money, it was mostly milked by around 1990 and I am a major fan of the show!), the series gains new fans every day, some of who weren’t even born when it first aired.

Arthur had already perfected the booming exclamations, the slow burn stares and the claw-handed reactions to other characters as Maude. However, The Golden Girls gave her the opportunity to round off some of the harder edges while playing Dorothy and also to explore some more heartfelt, vulnerable and, at times, kooky aspects of her persona that weren’t mined as deeply in the prior series. She picked up a second Emmy in 1988 for her work on the show. It’s interesting, too, to note the arc that Arthur, as Dorothy, undergoes in Girls with the initial episodes being very Maude-like and the later ones offering a far more tender (and zany) rendition along with the requisite toughness.

Though Ms. Arthur still made a fair amount of appearances after the end of The Golden Girls, she cut back significantly on her acting (the grind of the series having worn her out by her own admission.) When she did appear on TV, it was usually well regarded such as in her Emmy-nominated guest role on Malcolm in the Middle as an old babysitter.

One of her chief projects in the wake of Girls was a one-woman stage show, recounting her long career and performing various songs that she had either previously performed or merely enjoyed. She took it on the road in 2001 and 2002, eventually moving it to Broadway where she was nominated for a Tony (losing to Elaine Stritch, who was performing a similar style of show.)

It was during the pre-Broadway tour of this show (at the time called “And Then There’s Bea…” and later changed to “An Evening with Bea Arthur,” as well as other titles) that I was fortunate enough to meet Ms. Arthur in person. Ill with a cold and wearing a cast on one foot from having fallen into the orchestra pit Minneapolis, she nonetheless put on a captivating program and spent a friendly and unforgettable ten minutes or so with me and two of my friends afterwards. I learned during this encounter that it’s true that Ms. Arthur was, in person, very little like her screen personas. She was unassuming, demure, reticent, a little shy, really, but amiable. She was also humble, insisting that credit go to her accompanist Billy Goldenberg, who was a veteran composer in his own right and reacting with much surprise at the many compliments thrown her way. At that stage in the production, she had not yet added the songs “The Man in the Moon” or “What’ll I Do?” but she vowed to add them in after I had mentioned missing them.

Bea Arthur brought thousands of laughs (and a few tears as well) to millions of people during her career and the bulk of them came from enacting a tough as nails, foghorn loud type of character, but when the stage and set lights were out, she was really just a rather subdued, down to Earth type of gal, though still just as no-nonsense as the big characters she played. I’ve been grateful to have her work available to me as a pick-me-up on days that are less than wonderful and she never fails to leave me smiling.

Cleaning the furniture

Cleaning furniture is a regular task to have a better house. Mostly in during the summer time, we find it is difficult to maintain our furniture clean and shiny. It is more difficult for those also loves to have an outdoor life, which may not be far away from his or her house but just outside or in front of  his or her house with a few furniture and other accessories.

Now if you like to see your furniture to look new and to be clean and to last it for a long time, then you will need to find the time to take care of it. A dirty house is one that's not cared for and one that may create the inhabitants of a home not solely depressed however that is nothing but sick. To make the best worth of your furniture, you should not only take care of your house walls and floors but also to clean your furniture too. Remember that, even the wrapped up furniture is also needed to take care of!

There is some furniture cleaningtips that will help you keep your sweet home look bright, welcoming, and clean and by this way, you will know that you have removed all the dust and dirt from the furniture and that it will last for quite some time.
Prevention is always the best way to solve the problem. By cleaning the dust (which is clearly visible, obviously) on the furniture after its use, you can keep it in better condition for longer.

The first things you should do when it is about to clean upholstered or furnished furniture is to remove its all loose cushions and curtains. This will make things easier to clean all of its pieces of the furniture and ensure that you have done it all the way thorough.

Then you should make sure that to use a dusting brush to help you remove all dust from the furniture. Make sure that you clean up the dust not only from the surface of it but also on all other sides of the cushions, all the way down into crevices and on its back and underside of it. This particular tip will help you to remove dust from all surfaces of any kinds of furniture.

You will need a vacuum cleaner to proceed to the next step. The vacuum can either be a handheld or an upright. Vacuum the arms of the furniture and its underside, skirt, back as well as any other piece or section. Then you should vacuum all sides of its cushions and replace or rearrange it. You are now having all cleaned furniture to use!

There is one thing to remember. There are few items which actually need to be cleaned, which means to wash. To do this, you need to use a furniture cleaning solution with warm water. You should use upholstery shampoo (furniture cleaning solution) instead of laundry detergent or dish detergent because many of the detergents have very harsh cleaning agents that will affect the color and appearance of your furniture. But you should always try or experiment the solution on a small piece of the back- or underside of the furniture. Most furniture cleaning solutions are safe with most pieces of upholstered furniture. If your solution does affect the upholstery, then you may have to have the item professionally cleaned. This is common for antique pieces of upholstered furniture. You can use a washcloth or an old piece of clothing or fabric. Rub the solution into the fabric and rub with it on the furniture to scrape away all of the dirt.
If you can follow those few steps, you can be sure to have decades-old upholstered furniture that looks as if you just bought it yesterday. Proper care and cleaning of furniture ensures that you get your money's worth on your investment.

Preparing for Fanfest 2015

I am going to Fanfest again, next week. This will be my fourth pilgrimage to Reykjavik to hobnob with my fellow capsuleers.

I plan to arrive early the morning of Tuesday, March 17, after flying overnight from JFK. After checking in to the Centerhotel Klopp, I'll probably wander down to the Laundromat Cafe for some breakfast. I like to arrive a couple days early before Fanfest officially begins, to get my internal timezone resynchronized. It also gives me an opportunity to reconnect with other early arriving space-friends, and get reacquainted.

CCP has released the Fanfest agenda, and what a good schedule it is, indeed. It's going to be difficult to pick among the different sessions. The addition of more player-run presentations looks like a great idea - they appear to be among the most interesting parts of the agenda.

I've decided to attend the most interesting sessions that aren't going to be recorded on the live stream, figuring I can always go back later and watch those on YouTube, after I get home. That will mean that I will miss some of the initial news on popular features, but I'll have more exposure to discussions that aren't generally available later. In the long run, that will mean I'll get more content for my investment in Fanfest.

Last year, I packed my schedule with lots of extra events, like the charity banquet and the pub crawl. They were fun, but it made for a hectic time. This year, I'm just planning to hang out with people, which is the best part of Fanfest. Another contingent of E-UNI pilots are coming again this year, and we usually hang out in the lobby bar of the Centerhotel Thingholt each evening. All are welcome to join in!

I'm also looking forward to meeting up with my new writing team colleagues from the Crossing Zebras news site. I'm told that Scotsmen enjoy a drink every once in a while, and I'm eager to see if those rumors are true.

DUST University CEO Dennie Fleetfoot with CCP Saberwing, at last year's Fanfest.

CCP added an official costume contest this year, and I'm wondering what Dennie Fleetfoot, fellow E-UNI graduate and now CEO of DUST University, plans to wear for it. His DUST514 uniform from the last couple of years was impressive. From his recent Tweets, I think he's planning to outdo himself this time.

I noticed that fellow blogger NoizyGamer, who I met at last year's Fanfest, is also planning to take it easy this year. I have a feeling we will be chatting at the Celtic Cross, having a few beers and discussing Internet spaceships - especially on Tuesday, which is Saint Patrick's day. Being of Irish extraction, it's a cultural obligation that I procure at least a couple celebratory pints on that auspicious occasion.

And yes, Noizy, if CCP releases any dev blogs during Fanfest this year, I will do another dramatic reading of them in the Thingholt lobby bar. :-)

Unfortunately, the weather does not look good. It's bitterly cold, windy and snowing this week, though that is expected to turn to rain next week. A clear view of the partial solar eclipse the morning of Friday, March 20th, looks unlikely, sadly.

Regardless of the weather, Fanfest is always a fantastic event and a great celebration of all things EVE Online, and I'm looking forward to another short vacation with my fellow pod pilot aficionados. If you are planning to attend, and you see a big middle-aged guy in a black EVE University shirt, with "Neville Smit" on his name tag, be sure to say hello! I may buy you a cool adult beverage, and we can happily chat about our respective adventures in New Eden.

Fly safe! o7

hyperbolic crochet coral reef project

Our after school Talents class participated in an international project that combines math, craft, and environmentalism!

This was the first time using crochet for most of the students (grades 2-6) and they ended up doing an amazing job! I am super proud of them for a beautiful display of craftivism.

The Institute For Figuring first used the hyperbolic crochet technique to curate an exhibit, The Crochet Coral Reef Project, to bring attention to our coral reefs under environmental stress. Since then the small project has grown to an international collaborative project. There is currently an exhibit at the Smithsonian and we got special permission from the IFF to have our own display at New City School!

Hyperbolic crochet is made using a simple algorithm of increasing stitches to create the shapes you see here. These forms mimic what you might find in nature: lettuce, sea slugs, anemones, or coral.

first grade pumpkin blanket

These lovely little pumpkins and colorful quilts are inspired by the The Pumpkin Blanket by Deborah Turney Zagwyn. This is a really beautiful story about a brave young girl, Clee, who gives up her quilt bit by bit to help protect the pumpkins in her garden from the frost.

I was so impressed by the heartfelt reaction of the first graders as I read this story. They were really moved by Clee’s choice and pointed out how kind she was. We talked about the special quilts, blankets, and stuffed animals we all have and shared our stories.

The first grade artists looked at real miniature pumpkins to model their own clay pumpkins from. They observed wabi sabi elements of their pumpkins and tried to include the imperfect and natural details that make the pumpkins so interesting to look at. After the clay was fired, they carefully collaged tissue paper in layers to make a vibrant colorful pumpkin!

Our pumpkins needed a blanket next. They used fabric squares backed with a special lining that sticks to the base fabric once ironed. The first graders used pattern, color, and storytelling to create original quilt designs. Each one is so creative and a beautiful reminder of the pumpkin blanket story of giving.

Whirling Dervishes
Founder of the Mevlevi Order known in the West as the Whirling Dervishes, Muhammed Celaleddin-i Rumi, lived in Konya from 1228 until his death in 1273. He was given the name Mevlana (Our High Master) by his followers.
The nearly 6500 m2 land, on which the convent lies, used to be a rose garden belonging to Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat. He gave the area to Mevlana's father, Bahaddin Veled. as a gift. Bahaddin Veled was buried here in accordance with his will. From that day on, this place became a popular visiting spot. The building of the tomb began in 1274, only after the burial of Mevlana beside his father. In 1396, the tomb was covered by a cone shaped dome decorated by exquisite turquiose tiles.
The building has gone through many modifications during different periods in history and it has turned into a collection of buildings, an institution. In 1926, the Mevlana Convent opened as a museum. The artifacts presented to the convent throughout the centuries are on display. The most interesting section of the museum is under the green dome where the sarcophagi of Mevlana and his son, Sultan Veled, stand. On display are hand-written copiess of the sayings and books about Mevlana and Mevlevi order, musical instruments, metal glass and wooden objects, carpets and kilims. In the former dervish cells, the garments of the order are exhibited.
Whirling Dervishes
"Come, come again, whoever you are, come!
Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come!
Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times,
Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are."
Sema (Whirling dervishes ceremony), is the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi (1207 - 1273) as well as part of the Turkish culture, belief and history in Konya. It symbolizes the different meanings of a mystic cycle to perfection (Ascension - Mirac).
Contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve. Every thing whirls and man, a whirling dervish, carries on his life, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural elements in his body, by the circulation of his blood, by his coming from the Earth and return to it, by his revolving with the Earth itself.
The Sema (whirling dervishes) ceremony represents all a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through love, finding the truth and arriving to the "Perfect". Then he returns from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole creation, to all creatures without discriminating in regard to belief, class, or race.
The dervish with his hat (his ego's tombstone), and his white skirt (his ego's shroud) is spiritually born to the truth. When he removes his black cloak, he journeys and advances to the spiritual maturity through the stages of the Sema. At the beginning and each stage of the Sema holding his arms crosswise he represents number one, and testifies to God's unity.
While whirling his arms are open, his right hand directed to the sky ready to receive God's beneficence, gazing his left hand turned toward the earth for giving what he received to poor, he turns from right to left, pivoting around the heart. This is his way of conveying God's spiritual gift to the people upon whom God "looks with a Divine" watchfulness. Revolving around the heart, from right to left, he embraces all of humankind, all the creation with affection and love.

US presidential candidate Marco Rubio: "Putin is a gangster"

Florida senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio is the right man to handle Vladimir Putin!

Rubio in a speech:

"As soon as I take office, I will move quickly to increase pressure on Moscow. I will impose a new round of sanctions on The Kremlin’s senior leadership and other Russian entities, including Gazprom, and will work with Europe to exclude Russia from the SWIFT interbank payment system.
I will immediately provide Ukraine with lethal military assistance and increased intelligence sharing to ensure that Putin’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty comes at a price.
I will impose visa bans and asset freezes against high-level Russian officials, and move to isolate Russia diplomatically by ceasing efforts to engage Moscow on issues not essential to resolving the crisis in Ukraine.
Under my administration, there will be no pleading for meetings with Vladimir Putin. He will be treated as the gangster and thug that he is. And yes, I stand by that phrasing."

Mattis: US Still Studying Syria Safe Zones Plan

A tepid statement of support from the US last week on the Syrian safe zones scheme doesn’t mean the US is wholly on board, though according to Defense Secretary James Mattis, the US has been told some of the “general parameters” and are still carefully studying the idea.

The deal was agreed to by the Turkish, Iranian, and Russian government, and the Assad government has said it will respect the zones. The Syrian rebels have ruled out doing so, insisting they won’t trust any deal Iran is involved in. Mattis says the US decision on this depends on a lot of “major details” still unclear.

Russian officials have conceded a lot of details aren’t known, and may not be known for months. The ones Mattis appeared particularly concerned about were enforcement of the zones, and exactly who will be kept out of the safe zones. That later question has an answer, but not one the US likes.

The whole point of the safe zones is to put demilitarized areas between factions fighting one another to try to slow the war, and this would mean effectively that all combatant forces are to be kept out of the zone, including US troops and warplanes.

Russia made this very clear when the zones were first agreed to, that they expect all planes to stay out of the airspace above those areas, and the US has already made clear they don’t intend to respect that. Right now, that’s all highly theoretical, as the extent safe zones aren’t in places the US was attacking in the first place. In the long run, however, US interest in expanding their Syria war, and imposing regime change, may ultimately preclude them agreeing to not attack anyplace.

Flashback: TGR Learning Lab expands to Florida

Through a partnership with Murray Middle School, the foundation began offering its STEM-based, college-access programs to Florida students in 2011. The core curriculum utilized technology to explore careers in science and engineering. In addition, TWF pre-college activities were integrated to support student interests. But best of all, this satellite location brought the foundation’s hands-on, technology-rich approach to planning for college and a rewarding career.

On December 9, 2011, Tiger Woods spent the afternoon experiencing life as an eighth grader, joining students in Mrs. Lynch’s class for a lesson in the TGR Learning Lab’s forensics program. After visiting the newly completed Learning Lab satellite at Murray Middle School, Woods joined in the forensics lesson that included solving a crime, analyzing clues, fingerprinting, studying evidence and questioning suspects.

“This is the second time that I participated in a forensics class at the Learning Lab and I really enjoy it. This class makes learning about science fun and the kids get excited about it,” Woods said. “For the past five years we have been successfully using our Forensics Science curriculum at our Learning Lab in Anaheim, Calif., and I’m excited we were able to bring this unique programming to students in Florida.”

According to a school self-assessment and parent survey the following year, students participating in the TGR Learning Lab at Murray Middle School showed increased science grades and interest in the topic. Analyzing change between the students’ first- and fourth-quarter grades uncovered that 70 percent of the students in the program improved their science scores. One parent wrote, “My child has gained a new love for school and learning.” Parent responses in the survey also noted positive behavioral changes in their children, including gained self-confidence, improved attitude toward school and an interest in attending college.

“We are incredibly excited about the success of the TGR Learning Lab at Murray Middle. It provides unique learning opportunities and is igniting students’ interests in STEM. The students that go through the program can see how what they are learning in the classroom can lead to future careers. It helps make it relevant to them,” said Nancy Kline, Martin County Schools Superintendent.

RIP - Ian Carmichael

Cork, Dublin, Belfast... look lively!

It had been hoped that today would have been a case of playing catch up. Things however, have not gone to plan and circumstances prevail that aren't entirely conducive to concentration. Shit, like it used to say on Axl's t-shirt, happens.

“Up North/Down Under” is the subtitle of Volume 1 of Bootleg Booze’s “Bootleg Series”. Obviously the contents are not illicit but like a strain of moonshine, it’s damn strong stuff. As the title suggests, Sweden and Australia’s raucous-est upcoming acts slug it out with the liner commentary supplied by Dave Champion and Craig “The Barman” Regan. You’ll be aware that this label only deals in the highest octane sonic firewater.

The common denominator is varying degrees of sounding like they were born in the Motor City. Detroit style rock is very much the order of the day and that’s pretty much a staple constituent of the finest gear from these territories. The Sewergrooves “Easy to Pretend” sound strangely like Franz Ferdinand might if they’d discovered the SRB. It’s difficult to figure what band comes from where, such is the continuity of spirit. There might be a hint of an accent here and there but when the vocals are being screamed rather than “sung” over a consistently boss racket then the lines get a little blurred here and there.

The emphasis here is on rock. Spelled R-A-W-K. Never lumpy, always blazing - of particular note I think the tracks by Leadfinger, Sure Fire Midnights and Rio Grande will tickle you, as will Sator’s take on The Weirdos “I’m Plastic”. It’s more “Hollywood” than Ann Arbor and they were “made to last” alright. The more astute will note the latter straddling the then of yesterday’s comp with the now of “Up/Down”. It’s hardly comfortable on the turntable until it’s time to flip the beastie over.

I realise these things don’t just come together overnight, or from under a gooseberry bush but wonder what’s in store for Volume 2?

I guess I’m not ready to write anything on here about my dad yet. Will I ever be?

That’s what I’m asking myself right about now. Well-intentioned people are telling me that we need time to grieve but there’s stuff to be done. My brother and I, along with the family are all pretty pragmatic. We have no interest in what is or is not appropriate. Not really. Some antics that some people think are appropriate are distinctly not so. But we’ll give the guy a send-off and a half if at all possible.

But here’s what I’m grieving about to the point of apoplexy. How could people as good and kind be reduced to what’s happened to both of our parents in recent weeks? My dear, dear friend Amy Rigby wrote a song called “Don’t Ever Change”. It’s more of a hymn that most any actual example of that. It includes a line, “I don’t have religion but I’m trying to pray”.

I’m trying for sure but this proves conclusively that this god business is bollocks. If he (it can’t be a she) exists then let it be known that he’s pissed up my back so payback is coming.

Actually, I do have religion – RAMONES. And let us not forget Lux in all this but until there are churches to celebrate them colour me out.

RIP - Ben Gazarra

Just weeks on the heels of his Glasgow Nortonthon down the road in Mono, McChuill’s was the setting for Mr D’uffs fourth annual LUX LIVES extravaganza last night.

It was a non-stop revue once things got going and this is going to be pretty tough to beat both in terms of the east coast match on March 1st and next year hitting 5. But he rises to a challenge does Colin...

At this point in time I have no recollection of what everybody did. Not because of over indulgence but just because I’m losing brain cells at a rate of knots. Los Tentakills were up first and set the bar pretty high right there with a version of "Surfin’ Bird" that rang in my ear (I was right next to the PA) for the rest of the night. Next up, the one man rockin’ machine that is The Charles Randolph Rivers Slim Rhythm Revue ixnayed a one man trawl through “Sunglasses After Dark” for a heavy skiffle crack at “Mystery Plane”.

Mondo-A-Go-Go tackled “Surfin’ Dead" and won. I can testify to that. This almost never seen combo came out of the woodwork specially for the occasion. Nice segue of “For The Love Of Ivy” into The Creeping Ivies whose short, sharp tear through 4 songs wasn’t nearly enough. They could have snuck in one of their own but they didn’t. They’re back in Glasgow on February 22nd and soon they’ll have vinyl copies of their debut album “Stay Wild” available.

Z28 bludgeoned “Potentate” in a manner not unlike Nine Pound Hammer and veered near to Van Halen here and there. Both amusing and disturbing in equal measure. The Primevals came on to some technical hiccups during a rendition of “Two Headed Dog” but were blowing a full head of steam by the time they signed of with a locomotive-injected roll that was their “Drug Train”. Hysteria wasn’t too far away by the end of that.

Up next was The Fnords but I had to go catch a train and got the one before the last one. Not quite a zoo but a pack of foul-mouthed women made it an interesting journey. You should have heard it. As limited vocabulary goes it was a humdinger especially with the added ingredient of slurred speech due to too much bevvy. Now anybody that knows me is aware that I like and partake of the vernacular often but this was off the scale unlady-like. Forget the Drug Train, this was a whole 'nother world.

So yes, mark those diaries for March 1st. I’ll link to the info as soon as it’s available. Yes I said I’d update every day and I didn’t yesterday but maybe I’ll do another later today. Then again I may get sidetracked and I’ll be gone until what passes for summer. Is there any point to this? I’m not sure.

Nearly 34 years after The Cramps performed their first show on UK soil in Glasgow, it felt bizarre to be in a packed room where everyone seemed to be getting what they were about. This felt like progress until I hit the mass night-life where the real zombies hang out. The ones that always leave their minds at home.

Success Stories

Thank you from a parent - Gigi

~~I want to take this opportunity to thank you for everything that you have done for my daughter, Lilah.  The difference that you all have made in her life and her future is amazing.  When she arrived at your program, things weren’t looking so bright for her.  There are not a lot of alternatives in public schools for kids who are bright but for whatever reason, do not learn in the same way as other kids.

I knew that statistically, for her future, she would need that diploma or GED, and to achieve that she would need to have a successful experience with school and learning… something that she had never had before.  After being wisely directed to your program by a counselor from Spokane Public Schools, both Lilah and I were seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.  Next Gen provided her everything she needed to be able to succeed, not just in getting her GED, but by placing her in valuable and difficult to get internship situations and assisting her with the steps to get federal financial aid & getting into college.  By focusing on her strengths, she was positively motivated and successful.  You all made her want to go to college!

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Next Generation Zone and the work that they do.  The results show in the huge amount of confidence, engagement, and inspiration that Lilah has gained since she began working with them.  And they will show as she takes these opportunities that she’s been given there and uses them as a springboard to help manifest her potential as she moves forward into her adult life.  I couldn’t have put things together better for her if I tried.  You all are miracle workers to me!

Hockey Now – Behind the Moves review by Brian Burke

// October 19th, 2011 // Filed under ACTIVE - Brian Burke - Toronto Maple Leafs, Book Reviews, GM News

October 19, 2011

Posted in Hockey Now BC Edition, Alberta Edition, Ontario Edition, Product Reviews

Review by Brian Burke, President & General Manager, Toronto Maple Leafs

By now you’ve already heard about a book that I am truly excited about, Behind the Moves: NHL General Managers Tell how Winners are Built. Finally, a book has been compiled about the National Hockey League’s general managers, and by an author for whom I have great respect.

Behind the Moves is part encyclopedia, part history book, part manual for would-be managers. And it’s your ticket to the general manager’s office, where you’ll find out all about the trades, the championships, the negotiations with agents, and the day-to-day dealing with owners and the media. You’ll enjoy it, and you’ll learn a lot, too.

NHL GMs are busy guys, but I and 34 of the top GMs all-time have personally invested significant time, energy, and materials into the making of this book, giving you totally unique insight into pro hockey. Behind the Moves is not an outsiders account, it’s an insider’s view of what’s truly involved in being an NHL GM! For me, it has been a true honor to be associated with so many iconic hockey personalities through the making of Behind the Moves ― friends and colleagues like Glen Sather, Pat Quinn, and George McPhee, but also legends whom I was fortunate enough to overlap with like Bill Torrey, Emile Francis, and Sam Pollock. Like each of them, I am proud of our game’s history and tradition and the men who shaped the teams that have excited fans over the years. And because I was so impressed with the concept of Behind the Moves, I jumped in and wrote the book’s Foreword.

I believe that the NHL’s general managers have been the brains and the conscience of the game since the league opened for business in 1917. Yet, surprisingly, little has been written about them. But is there a more important job on the team than the guy who puts the team together?

Like you, I’ve always been interested in knowing what other managers thought, so I could maybe learn to emulate certain types and avoid the other kinds. Behind the Moves is that playbook for all managers and those aspiring to get into, or move up in, the game. You’ll hear directly from the GMs who all share an undying passion for the game ― past managers, current managers, champions, tenured veterans, innovators, old-schoolers, educated men and men with diplomas marked “Original Six.”

If you’re looking for the plays and strategies to cultivate winners, Behind the Moves is the guidebook, Go buy it now at

Artwork at the Trading Post for Customer Appreciation Days

Isn't it great when local small businesses work together? I was asked by friends at the Trading Post - my local tack and feed store - to have a booth for their Customer Appreciation Days May 25-26.  I was able to get a great spot near the door and had lots of inquiries about wine glasses, art workshops and paintings. Thanks gang at the Trading Post for sharing your customer base with me.
