Welcome to the Dark Side

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a happy and festive holiday. 2012 is swiftly drawing to a close and I can’t pretend that I won’t be glad to see the back of it. I don’t know about you, but personally, it has been month after month of challenge after challenge.

So in the name of the shadow side, the dark night of the soul and the pesky trials and tribulations of the daily grind this is Scorch Scarum. None of the Snugs that I have made to date have been actually bad, but this Snug is the closest to mischievous and moody that I have gotten.

 I eventually wanted to make an angelic counterpart to Scorch, but with a steady flow of commissions to complete, I never got around to it. I liked the idea of those angel/demon spectres that used to appear on the shoulders of cartoon characters when I was growing up. They were always trying to influence the protagonist with their wilful mutterings. One day I might get to make the angel but for now we will have to deal with the demon.

I worked hard on the embroidery and beading on the wings and tail. The wings are shaped like bats wings and are enhanced with shiny sequins, black beads and a button. I followed the black through with a metallic shade of seed bead on the tail. I generally use quite a few colours on any Snug but I went for duo-tones of red and black to give a strong visual that can’t be misunderstood. She is fiery, passionate, dark and brooding.

I honour the dark side tonight. Thank you for all your mixed blessings and lessons. But I am also very willing to let you go and make some room to usher in 2013. May it be full of laughter, happiness and excitement (of the good variety!).

I’m So Sleepy I Can’t Think of a Snappy Title

So, it is four days before Christmas, the world is supposed to end today and I’m wrecked from the exertion of trying to prepare for both. That seems counter-intuitive now that I think about it, but as my brain currently resembles mush, I’m not really surprised. I should really have picked one event and committed to it.

There is a tiny part of me that was thinking if the world really ends today I would be partially relieved because it would mean I could lie down. I was talking about this with a dear friend of mine last night and she agreed with me. A rest would be quite nice. But as I hear it is hard to recover from death and world destruction I’m glad I’m still walking around, even if I do have mince meat brains.

I have very much wandered off the subject of this here blog. Back to the work! I’m going to let myself off the hook today and just share with you the photographs for this Snug, Chantilly Tarlatan and also the piece I wrote for her label. She wasn't made with anyone in mind; she is of the same ilk as Rococo before her.

“This is Chantilly Tarlatan. She is an old school Southern beauty.
She favours elegance, good manners and lazy summer
days above all things. Chantilly prides herself on her appearance
 and will not be seen until every bow,
bead and bustle are in place. She believes one must always be a lady.
 “So remember girls, if you have to be mean, at least
do it with a smile”, she can be heard remaking to her
avid followers of etiquette.
 Nothing gets past this Belle of the Bayou. Her wise-cracking
wit and wily observations can leave your
 head spinning for days.”

Practically Beautiful

I am a self-professed Jane Austen nerd. Whether it is her written word or the many film and television adaptations; I love it all. I think there is something in me that longs for that time (though I do think I could do without the whole oppression of women thing). I think that is why so many of my Snugs have feathered hats, lacy decoration and over-the-top embellishment.

I love the idea of a group of women sitting around together, making beautiful things; hats, screens, dresses, pictures, handkerchiefs. I know logically and rationally that a lot of those women pursued such employment because it was respectable; it showed their skills and talents to prospective husbands and mostly, they were not allowed to do anything else.

 But I do sometimes wonder and think about the women at that time that really enjoyed being creative in this way. I think of all those unnamed artists, whose work decorated their own homes but were never to be seen in a grand exhibition or never to be sold so that they could be financially independent.

I love all that can be created with a needle and thread. They can be practical, useful items like clothes and embroidered sheets, but also great intricate tapestries and small hand made dolls. So many people have precious items like hand-monogrammed lace handkerchief or an embroidered patch on an old pair of jeans. These are beautiful, simple things lovingly made special by the touch of a hand with a needle and thread.

Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane? No! It’s Super Snug!

Living with a comic book obsessed, super hero loving, illustrator boyfriend has to rub off on you in some way or another. Super Snug is the result of many an evening spent watching super hero movies and the endless supply of comic books and graphic novels lying around our house.

I have a tendency to make very feminine things (I am a girl after all) but it is good to challenge myself to try to do something new. All of my tea cosies come with a label. On that label is a short story explaining the personality of the Snug. This is what is written on Super Snugs label.

“This is Super Snug. His ears perk as he hears a cry pierce
the night sky; “Help, help! My tea is in mortal danger of
rapidly cooling!! Who can save my beautiful brew??”
WHOOSH!!! With a flash of yellow, a hero zooms
 to the rescue.
“Have no fear, ma’am, Super Snug is here!
His tight knit stitches of steel intensely insulate the
at-risk refreshment. A cheer resounds throughout the house as
 the near tepid tea is saved.
But just as he relaxes into another job well done, he hears a
 cry on the wind.
This Snug knows his work is never done.”

I also like to include a small bag with some extra eyes, buttons or sequins.

Putting the label together and pinning it to the finished Snug is generally the last job I do before it goes out the door. Just like Super Snug, I know it is another job done but who knows what the next one will be?!

Keep Your Tea Cosy, Give it a Snug

This Snug I titled “Mid-Western Sally”. Sometimes a name like that will come into my head and I won’t be able to shake it off.

I think she has an old-world charm about her. She is traditional and very feminine. As you can see I used lots of gingham, lace and floral prints in her decoration. I think that she is wearing her Sunday best.

I found when I was doing my weekly shopping that there were small teapots for sale. They are really only for one person but the scale worked for these snugs. I started buying one teapot a week and that enabled me to create a whole cast of characters.

Before long, I made quite a few different Snugs. I think because they were so compact and so cute when they were finished they made very good gifts for people. They were not outrageously expensive but they were unique and hand made. The Snugs I made with my own imagination enabled other people to see the possibilities and the requests for custom built cosies came in thick and fast.

Mid-Western Sally here and the next few cosies I mean to share with you this week are the snugs I made without input from other people. All but one is off in the world living different lives in different homes. Sometimes when I look at these photographs, it gives me a funny feeling to think that out there, there are lots of little cosies sitting on peoples kitchen tables or counter-tops that I made but don’t get to see anymore. When I go visiting and one of my creations is in the house, I always feel the need to go over and say “Hello old friend, how are you doing?”

Hmmm Knitting

I first learned to knit in primary school. Probably my most memorable attempt was a green woolly jelly baby. I wasn’t very good at it in school, I remember that everything was too tight or too loose and I could never remember how to cast off properly.

I was a lapsed knitter in secondary school; I had fallen too deeply in love with my tonal drawings. I rediscovered it though as I went through college. The second course I attended was called Fibre Art. It was a blend between Fine Art techniques like drawing, painting, print-making and photography with Textile Art techniques like embroidery, felt-making and printed textiles.

I knitted cocoons as part of my insect project. I mentioned these before in conjunction with the wasps nest I showed you the drawing of. As I said then I will have photographs to show you eventually (I’m really making you hang in there for those ones)

Anyway I got back in the way of knitting and I have used it time and time again as a way to express my creativity. I don’t want to get bogged down in discussing techniques. I started back to knitting in a basic way. I know a couple of different kinds of stitches and can now follow a fairly complicated pattern but I wouldn’t call myself an accomplished knitter. I’m not a craftsperson in that regard. I use knitting and wool, like I use drawing and pencils or painting and paint. It’s a technique and material that I use to express an idea.

I think craftspeople master a skill or craft by exploring all the different aspects of it. I think the joy is in the making and they create great works of beauty. For me, communicating an idea is more important than producing the most perfect piece of hand-knitted fabric.

This here is Glee Fullee Flappin. She was knit with love and joy for the person she was made for. She is one of the earliest Snugs I made along with Gregarious. I think my designs got more cohesive the more I made but I always have great affection for the first borns. They hold the original idea and like the first wire Fat Bee, they remind me that everything has to start from somewhere.

Ode to an Insomniac

I don’t know if any of you have ever suffered from insomnia, I have for many years and from my experience it’s no picnic. I have a whole routine worked out to deal with it now but some years ago I spent many a dark night prowling my house trying to kill time waiting for the sun to rise. One such sleep deprived evening I was particularly antsy and so I decided to take up my knitting to try to work out some of my frustrations.

My dad had been over during the week for lunch and the tea in our pot had cooled while we had been eating our soup. I didn’t have a tea cosy at the time so I decided I’d make one for myself.

I had been given some of that hairy wool by someone so I decided I’d use it in my cosy. I measured up my tea pot and came up with a pattern. I knit away feverishly for a couple of hours until the body of the cosy was finished.

I then sewed up the edges and slipped it over my tea pot. Maybe it was that I hadn’t slept for three nights in a row but lo and behold there stood a little creature before me.

To me it looked like a soft rotund bearded critter with pointy ears. So following that logic, I decided my new cosy should have some eyes. I dug out some eyes from my sewing box and glued them on. So if this little guy had a beard, ears and eyes, I decided what he really needed was a tail. I then knit a long tail and sewed it on to the back. I remember I was delighted with him and I kept turning him around and admiring his furry form.

I wasn’t finished there though. I thought the thing that he really needed; besides a tail, was a hat. I made him up a little felt hat with a button and a feather.

I perched him on the bedside locker and waited for Gary to wake up so I could show off my new creation. He was suitably impressed and we called him Gregarious- Greg for short, because we thought he had such a winning personality. And from there starts a long and unexpected journey into the work of tea cosy making. Greg really struck a chord with people and I have been asked to make tea cosies or Snugs, as I call them, ever since.

The Fat Bee or There and Back Again

The blue and orange bee you see here on this first page was a screen print I did for a printed textiles project. I think he is really the beginning of the Fat Bee mania that followed in my work for years after.

I had designed an apron using this motif. I had several bees flying across the apron but I had this “Fat Bee” lying on his back on the bottom and had written beside him “He is not dead, he is just fat”. The inference being that his body was so large and his wings so tiny that he cannot easily fly around but that does not mean he is dead. I’m interested to see that my melancholic humour that has developed over the years started when I was quite young. I think now that that was quite an odd thing to write but I think I was odd, I just wasn't so self aware as to know it yet.

This second page shows my thought process around making the bees more of a caricature than accurate anatomical drawings. I wanted my bees to have bags of personality and to stand out. I wanted them not to be just one of the hive, I wanted each one to feel unique. This is a theme that arises again and again in my work.

This last drawing I did very recently. I still love observing and recreating images of these little creatures. In a funny way, I unmade their images and bodies and recreated them in my own way, how I imagine them to be. But now I am back to drawing them as they really are. I am trying to be true to their nature and seeing their beauty and magnificence all over again.

A Short Note from the Author

G’day y’all! Just a short one today. The living of life has interrupted my ability to write anything lengthy. Hopefully I’ll fare a little better tomorrow. Here are some more pages from my research notebooks from my insect projects.
Pay attention to the wasps nest on one of the pages. I did a piece based on these kinds of forms and hopefully I will have some images to show you very soon.

A Wasps Nest

A Scary Ant and more Blind Drawings

Observation is Key

I talked before about visiting The Natural History Museum and doing research in books and magazines. These sketchbook pages are the result of these explorations.

My art teacher in school taught us that the key to drawing accurately was observation. He said it was 80% looking and 20% drawing or maybe it was 90% looking and 10% drawing, I can’t remember exactly. Anyway, the message is to look a lot and let your hand draw what you see.

He also thought me about tone. We practiced for hours shading little square blocks. I would start with the darkest shade I could get and then gently lift the pressure off the pencil to achieve the next lighter tone. I would move across the page trying to get as many shades in between black and white as I could. Then I would move back the opposite way, starting with white and then barely brushing the page with my pencil to achieve as light a grey as possible. Practicing pencil pressure was very important to me. I always wanted to get as smooth a gradient of tone that I could.

A new drawing technique I learned in college was blind drawing. There are some examples here and on the previous pages I posted. You start a blind drawing by picking a point on a page with your pencil. You then pick a point on the object you have chosen to draw. You then let your eye run around the object. Without looking at the page, you let you hand follow the line that your eye has taken. I found this technique quite scary to begin with but when I freed myself up to just let it be an exercise in observation, I grew to enjoy it.

You knew how successful or unsuccessful you had been by how much the squiggles on the page matched the thing sitting in front of you. I’m quite pleased with the ones I have drawn here. They look somewhat like insects and that is good enough for me. I was so afraid when I went to Art College that I wouldn’t measure up but it really did just give me more and more techniques and tools to explore my talent with. I worked extremely hard and found I had a huge appetite for learning and experimenting.

Notebooks. Sketchbooks. Mood boards.

I love looking at other artist’s notebooks and sketchpads. I love looking at their ideas before they are all smoothed out and in their finished form.

My work starts days, weeks and sometimes months before I’ll even put pen to paper or thread to needle. I’ll get an idea for something or I will have had a discussion with someone about a commission they want done and then I will start mulling. I’ll roll the different aspects of the project around my head, thinking, shaping and building this new work of art piece by piece in my brain.

Firstly in art class in school and then in art college I learned to write down my ideas. It is very important to do this, as you will be very surprised to know just how often you can forget an idea that you have fallen in love with. You could be consumed with it in the morning but by the afternoon between talking to people on the phone, doing your grocery shopping and watching a movie you can have forgotten the whole darn thing. You can be kicking yourself for days trying to pull it back from the recesses of your mind. But there will be zero, zip, nada. My advice to any young or beginner artists out there would be: if you get a good idea, WRITE IT DOWN! You can thank me later when you have made millions.

What I’m showing you today are observational drawings, magazine/book clippings and photocopies and little snippets I have written down for various projects I have done over the years. They are all somehow bug/insect related so I thought they would be a nice follow on from my Threadbare Bug Collection. Before I made these pieces I had really familiarised myself with insects of all shapes and sizes. Drawing them in detail is a great way to get to know how they work and how their bodies fit together. I have always loved to get my teeth stuck into a complicated and detailed observational drawing. It’s such a great challenge to your skills of looking and seeing and following through by committing the image to paper. I love working out proportion and toning everything until it pops off the page with life.

Wednesday, 5 December 2012

Dear me, that was a lot of bees, bugs and butterflies.

I’m coming to the end of my photographic archive of The Threadbare Bug Collection. Here are a couple of single shots of pieces that I didn’t get to document as well as the others.

Time pressure can play a huge role in whether or not I get to make a record of the work I have made. If a deadline is tight or I am working on several things at once I will generally only manage to get a quick shot of a piece before it goes out the door to its new home.

If I have made a bug or a bee for you along the way and you have been waiting patiently for his or her face to appear and it hasn’t by now, I’m afraid I didn’t get to photograph it before it went from my hands into yours.

If you would like to add your piece to this catalogue, I would love if you would send me a photograph and I will show it here with pride.

I’d love to see it displayed in its natural habitat or if you are a keen photographer, maybe a shot of your bug’s favoured side. I’d be delighted with anything you have to send me so don’t worry too much about how it turns out.

Thanks so much for tuning in for this part of my archive. I’ll be back tomorrow with something a little bit different but still kind of the same.

Please send any photographs to me at

P.S. I just thought I would add in these photos I took on my phone of a tiny blue bee I had made. They were quick and simple but had good light because I took them on the window sill in my kitchen. Something like this would be perfect. Thanks again!

Well, well, well, what have we got here then? Part 2

Welcome back for Part 2! I left you yesterday after describing the importance of laying a good foundation for each new piece of art work. To be honest, that is not my favourite aspect of the process, but it is an extremely necessary one.

By sewing in and securing all the structural elements you then get to disguise and beautify them with the next stage. I always get excited when I can move on to the beading and embellishment phase. It is now that the full character and personality of the piece will develop. As I have discussed, I will have chosen the colours I want to feature by this time. For the butterfly, I chose tones of red and blue. I have often used these colours together in my work, to the point that it became a bit of a running joke.

So here they are once again. This was a very involved piece of beading. I generally have quite a free-form approach to it. I will lay my materials out in front of me and intuitively or instinctively pick colours and sizes to go together.

I wanted to mirror the pattern or design on each wing onto the other one. I broke down the wings into eight different panels, four in the front and four in the back. I worked a pattern into one side of the wing and then worked it into the opposite side. I mainly used sequins and seed beads. Seed beads are tiny but when grouped together, they give such a beautiful varied and textured finish. Every single bead was hand sewn into place. The flat design was quite straight forward but the edging can be complicated. You are really filling in any gaps that are evident and making such all the backstage workings are not showing through.

When I have given a bug a lot of legs, long antennae or pointy wings this part can have its nightmarish qualities too though. Imagine lengths of thread getting caught in some appendage every time you go to add some new beads to a section of the piece. If you are at all cranky or irritable the whole thing may end up in the bin with frustration.

I remember when I finally finished this butterfly that I felt a huge sense of satisfaction. It is heavy in the hand, the weight of time, effort and energy can be felt. The glass beads dance in the light and the feathers add a touch of whimsy.

For me, the feeling of wonder when you can think of something in your head and then set about making it with purpose and conviction and then you get to hold it in your hand never gets old. I love to create things rather than destroy things. Make art not war, man! That’s what I say. What a kick!

Monday, 3 December 2012

Well, well, well, what have we got here then? Part 1

I took on this mighty endeavour as a challenge to myself. This encrusted butterfly is something like an unconscious dare, a rumble, a how-far-do-you-think-you-can-take-this kind of throw down.

When I get an idea like a five part, entirely beaded, fully patterned, totally wired, butterfly inspired piece of art, it can work on my mind like a fever.

I think I had worked on the smaller pieces for some time and then one day I decided that I wanted to make something that will bring together all the elements I have learned from the other bugs in my catalogue. From that thought grows an obsession, an itch I have to scratch. I’ll work on this kind of project until it is completed and whether anyone will ever want or need it. If you would like to know how one proceeds with such an endeavour, read on and I will fill you in.

This piece has four segments that make up the wings. It has a long beaded segment in the middle that makes up the body. I started by designing paper templates for the wings. I cut out a felt base using the templates as a guide. Then the wings had to be reinforced by hand-sewing a coloured wire around the perimeter of them. This gives extra strength to the overall structure but also some pliability. I was able to position and shape the wings when they were finished.

I have found it very important to get the structure right at the beginning. It gives you the opportunity to see if the shape and silhouette of the bug will work without any embellishment. You can ask necessary questions like; is it pleasing to the eye? Can it stand on its own? Will it bear the weight of the beading and other materials?

It is also at this point that I will add in any feathers if they are part of the design. I prefer to sew in anything like feathers or material or wire rather than gluing it. I feel glue can come away or break down over time but if you sew something in place it can go on lasting for much longer than you may believe possible when treated with care and attention.

If you tune in tomorrow I will follow up with Part 2 of this piece and how it all came together.

Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family

Based on the Pretty Little Liars series of young adult novels by Sara Shepard, the series follows the lives of four girls — Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily — whose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their queen bee, Alison. One year later, they begin receiving messages from someone using the name "A" who threatens to expose their secrets — including long-hidden ones they thought only Alison knew. The show stars Lucy Hale and Holly Marie Combs
8/28/2012The Lady Killer
With Garrett's trial for Maya's murder starting, the town of Rosewood has become a media spectacle. At odds with her friends over Paige, Emily doesn't know where to turn when the media attention becomes too much for her. "A" sees this as a perfect opportunity and takes advantage of the situation and sends Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer on a path to a possible truce. But is "A's' peace offering real or just a trap for a much darker ending?

Meanwhile, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer are betrayed as someone very close to them is revealed as part of the "A" team.
8/21/2012Single Fright Female
Emily's relationship with Paige has been anything but easy, but she finally feels like their relationship is going in the right direction. So when Spencer comes to her with a sordid tale about Paige's history with Alison, Emily is not ready to heed her friend's warnings. With Spencer knowing Paige's violent past and this new information about a blood feud between Alison and Paige right before Alison disappeared, she can't stand by to let one of her best friends get close to a potential enemy. But will Spencer cross a line that Emily can't forgive in her attempt to prove to Emily who Paige really is?

Meanwhile, Aria feels she has to help Ezra move on from his past if their relationship is to move forward, but what she finds may be more than she expected.
8/14/2012What Lies Beneath
After learning that Noel and his family's cabin had something to do with "that night" and possibly Maya's disappearance, the girls work to try and put the pieces together. Hanna and Emily head out to the Kahn family cabin looking for clues linking Maya to the site, while Spencer does some snooping of her own on Noel. Could Noel have had a hand in this after all, or are he and Jenna just bluffing to send Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer down the wrong path?

Meanwhile, Aria must deal with the aftermath of meeting Ezra's mom and the information about Ezra's past.
8/7/2012The Kahn Game
Spencer and Aria find themselves at the Kahn brothers' party in hopes of saving Spencer's college career. What originally was going to be a quick stop by to ask a favor of CeCe's friend turns into an opportunity for Aria and Spencer to get some answers from Jenna with a heated game of "Truth." But will Aria and Spencer be willing to give up some of their "truths" to get the answers they are looking for?

Meanwhile, Hanna gets another text from "A" about Caleb.
7/31/2012Stolen Kisses
Emily is struggling to deal not only with the loss of Maya, but the knowledge that someone drugged her "that night" and how that has now affected Paige. Going to make amends with Paige and try to explain the drugged flask ends up leading Emily to more insight of what she did "that night." Also trying to help Emily out, Spencer turns to Caleb to help crack into a website that might hold answers for them all.

Meanwhile, Aria realizes she knows very little about Ezra after meeting his mother and Hanna makes a plea on Mona's behalf.

Silver - Commitment of Traders

This week's release of the Commitment of Traders report by the CFTC contained some noteworthy developments in regards to the silver market. I discussed this with Eric King so make sure to listen in to the KWN Weekly Metals Wrap where we cover this.

If you want to have a visual to go along with that discussion, I am providing it here in the form of this chart.

First of all, the hedge fund category (Managed Money), has been steadily liquidating their long positions in silver for some time now and that continued this past week. The result is that their overall net long position is now at levels last seen in this category dating back to the late February- March 2010 time frame. At that time, the price of silver was trading between $16.50 and $17.30!  Yet here we are with silver sitting closer to $35. In other words, the price of silver has doubled since then while the hedge fund position is at the same level as it was when price was half of what it is today.

What this tells us is that once silver falls back into favor with the speculative crowd, it will launch its next leg higher from a substantially higher price level. Let's assume for the moment  that the interest to be on the long side reaches levels commensurate with what we have seen recently. It is easily conceivable that the price could effectively double from the point at which that next leg higher commences. I do not know from what level that will occur or the time frame, but with the large specs having been greatly cleaned out of the silver market, there will be enormous upside potential in this market when conditions are ripe.

The flip side of this and the second point worth noting is that the big commercial net short position is shrinking quite rapidly. As you can see on the chart by following the horizontal line across the chart, their net short position is now the smallest it has been since May 2009, a full two years ago! Silver was trading between $12 - $14 back then.

Also related to this is that the Swap Dealers are now net longs. They have not been on this side of the market since late November of last year.

What I am atttempting to say that this consolidation period for the metal is extremely healthy for the long term. It continues to see more and more speculative long side liquidation but that is being met by a very large amount of short covering from the biggest shorts in the silver market. The result of this has been to lock silver into a range trade which is keeping the metal from breaking down substantially further and producing the curent trading range that we see on the price charts.

We therefore would have to see a sharp pullback in commercial short covering activity for the market to collapse in price. They are steadily buying and their buying is of sufficient size that it is absorbing the hedge fund liquidation-related selling. Quite frankly, as long as the bullion banks keep buying I do not see where we will get the firepower of selling that would be necessary to cause silver to fall apart. One would almost have to see the hedge funds actively take to the short side of the market to generate enough force to press silver down through the kind of buying that the commercials are now providing.

The more the hedge fund long side exposure keeps dropping, the better as far as I am concerned provided that this trading range continues with the market holding above the recent lows in price. The ideal setup for silver would be for it to build a rock, solid base of support at a new and higher price level, let's say somewhere near and around $30 or so, from which it can then make the next leg higher in this now decade long+ bull market.

Don't Let the sound of your own wheels drive you CRAZY.

12/31/14 16:08

This is the last entry for the year and it’s time to look back at what I wrote.  I wrote more  blog entries this year, thank you for reading some.

For this entry, I wanted to capture my travels which for the most part were for work.  I am not complaining, but this year I spent more than 30 nights, maybe closer to 40 nights in a hotel room.  It’s the most for a single year.  Most of the trips were to Pennsylvania or Massachusetts for meetings, but I was out in California for a trade show and flew out to Illinois for another trade show.  There was a meeting in West Virginia.  I thought of John Denver as I drove across the barren West Virginia landscape; take me home, West Virginia.  Not for me, but I intend to get back there in 2015.  For vacation we went to Disney.  Wait a second; I’m sure these details bore you.  I am sorry.  The odd thing is feeling the need to travel. When I don’t travel at least every other week, I feel anxious. I need to get out on the road and get in front of clients.  For some of you it may be hard to imagine, leaving the comforts of home and of course leaving the company of my wife and children.  Yes, I miss them.  There are nights in an empty hotel room when I have a cold dinner which I ate hours before only to watch it wilt and become stale.  I have emails to work on.  The TV is playing ESPN or something from the History channel, but I try to get in some reading and writing while I have the time.  There is the need to prepare for the meetings as well. The room is still quiet without the sounds of my family.  The next morning I may run a couple of miles on the treadmill, buy a veggie breakfast and head back to my room.  And before you know it I am in the parking lot for my first appointment and debating if I should wait or go in fifteen minutes before the scheduled time.   After my meetings, I may head back to my room and answer the emails and call back those who left messages.  But, if I am lucky I can get back on the road and head home.  I discovered the secret passage called the Ocean Parkway which runs East to West and is located at the most Southern region on Long Island.  There are times when I can see over the sand dunes at Jones Beach and watch for a second or two as the mighty waves from the Atlantic crest and crash into the shore.  These are some the sites I like to see.  Well, the ocean and an open road as the radio is playing a song which was created for driving.  Eagles, Take it Easy…

Happy New Year’s and here is a salute to 2015 to the profound potential a New Year has in store for all of us.

Thank you for reading this.

Daring to be BOLD The Scofflaws played at 89 North!

12/28/14 11:07

This year I saw the Scofflaws four times. Their performance at 89 North on Friday 12/19 was one of the best.   It was a cold night which was a stark contrast to when I saw them at the Great South Bay Music Festival last July.  I walked into 89.  The cold entry leads to a staircase which was barren.  The bar was empty and I paid a $5.00 cover to the doorman who asked, who are you here to see?  The Scofflaws.  Sammy was at the bar with a gin and tonic and was talking to the bartender.  She said she used to tend the bar in Port Jefferson when The Scofflaws regularly played on Main Street years before.   There was a venue above Starbucks and I’m not sure if this is what is called The Arden.   I offered to buy Sammy a drink, but he was good.  Bought a pint of Blue Point’s Hoptical Illusion and took a sip.  It was very refreshing and when the bartender said, the alcohol content is higher than normal, well, I liked it even more.

This was my first time at 89 North and I have to say I was impressed with the layout.  There was a kitchen in which fresh pizza was being prepared for the soon to be intoxicated crowd.  There was a large bar with a varied selection of taps as well as spirits.  I walked in and was impressed with the expansive risen stage.  There was a large area for dancing.  Tables with chairs were in neat rows and there was a balcony and another bar in the back as well as the sound board.  If you wanted to watch The Islanders or basketball, there were assorted TV’s on.  So, in comparison to some other Long Island venues, 89 North is a very professional establishment.  Don’t let the barren lobby fool you.

Eventually, Erik showed up since he worked till 7 PM.  His band is playing at 89 North on January 24th, The American Pink Floyd Experience.  We had a pint and took a seat at a round bar table.  The subject of cover bands playing gigs is something I need to cover in another blog entry.  It amazes me there is such a robust market for these bands who tour and are able to pull in crowds at larger venues.  Just recently, I saw another Pink Floyd cover band on TV performing at Red Rocks in Colorado.  There is an array of Led Zeppelin cover bands.   Anyway, if you like cover bands; 89 North has a variety playing each weekend.  I can’t say I’d go to one of these gigs unless I knew the musicians…but if there was a Clash cover band…you might pull me in.  You might.

The Scofflaws were the first of three bands to play that night.  Also on the bill were Noah’s Arc and Slavery by Consent.

When The Scofflaws took the stage the crowd from the bar came in and started to bop to
the music.  Missing was Jared on trombone which was similar to the last time I saw the band in Smithtown.   It means the sound is less full, but the band at 89 was tight.  Listen; there can’t be a mediocre Scofflaws performance as long as Godfather of the Rude Boys, Sammy Brooks is on the stage.  There were people grooving in front of the stage as Sammy praised the crowd and sent his love.   Just look at the pictures.  He is the man.  I’m working on getting an interview with Sammy for this blog.  He said he’s interested; it’s just getting the time to get together with the man…the man…

Let’s hope we all get to see The Scofflaws in 2015. From what I understand there next gig is in March.  It’s a shame they are not on The Slackers line-up at 89 North on January 30th…just saying…any Ska gig on Long Island should include The Scofflaws!

Thank you for reading this.

Working in Oscar's Bookstore in Huntington and discovering the avoided art of isolation

12/17/14 21:38

I’m on a search mission for a good used book store on Long Island.  For now I have settled on Book Revue in Huntington although I can get lost in the massive space.  It’s not exactly what I am looking for.  Although their staff is very knowledgeable and courteous so I am not discontinuing my patronage to this fine establishment.  There is Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor and I hope to get out there this season.  This place has small bells on the front door; the musky, yellowed paper scent, the faint classical music or jazz playing over the radio from a couple of suspended speakers from a tin ceiling.  I find peace in these stores and want to shovel cash through their registers to keep their lights on and the scent of the books wafting through the narrow aisles.  Sadly, all of us have experienced the closing of some these hollowed landmarks.  For those of you who recall Oscar’s Bookstore in Huntington.  It was on New York Avenue. I will share some memories.  Oscar’s is where Kerouac shopped and where I worked for a summer.  I had the honor of working there before Oscar retired to Florida.  Of course I asked him about Jack and he responded with a casual reference.  I could tell it was something he often repeated to anyone who asked.

That summer, I was renting a room in a boarding house owned by a Stony Brook philosophy professor. I was attempting to live a bohemian life.  My room had a tall ceiling.  The windows faced West Neck Road.  It’s the room where I discovered and transformed in some respects.  I discovered tranquility and the art of being alone.  Being alone is a difficult task.  For a young man or woman it’s an avoided evil.  They tend to search for diversion and common distractions which can lead to some intoxicated and drug induced episodes.  I learned.  I learned from my transgressions and moved on.  If we dare and are bold enough - we face the fear of isolation and look within inside ourselves and accept the person we sometimes avoided at all costs.  It takes work.

So, let me share what sort of poet I was while I worked at Oscar’s.  For any writer, artist or reflective soul it’s important to push the boundaries.  I pushed them as often as possible.   Mr. Piddles, the manager at the book store was a gentle easy going family man with a good temperament.   One Saturday morning I slept in.  I accepted the fact I would most likely be fired for not going into work and defiantly pulled up the covers and dealt with my decision and aching hangover.  Suddenly, there was a pounding at the front door at the boarding house.  It was uncommon to hear such commotion.  I heard the door squeak open and then I heard, “Where is he?”  Who?  “Michael.  He is supposed to be at work!”  Mr. Piddles?  I thought.  Mr. Piddles was a raving lunatic.  To march down to the boarding house - which was a half mile away from the store – was the sign of a disturbed mind.  “Michael?!   I know you are in here!”  Who let this man inside the house?  Did I dare show my face?  No.  I waited for Mr. Piddles to storm out and pulled open the door to my room and peered into the empty hallway.  It was safe.  Kevin who lived downstairs liked to sit in the front porch and play his guitar, singing loudly as he could to the passing cars.  He liked the attention of his passing fans.  He was the one who let in Piddles.  He was surprised to see me.  He said, “Hey, if I knew who he was…I wouldn’t have let him in.  I would have covered you.”  I nodded.  He asked, “So?  You going in?”  I looked at Kevin who was shirtless and pale and nodded.  His pink nipples were gross and too long for a man.  He had a large shamrock on his arm.  It was an off centered, homemade tat on his right arm. “He’s going to fire you.”  So what, I said and went back to my room and got dressed.  I stumbled up to the book store and saw Piddles.  His face was red.  He exclaimed, “Well, look who it is.  You know I came down to your house to bring you in here.”  I nodded.  “Lucky for both of us you were not home.”  What? Wait, he didn’t know?  Piddles assumes,I was not home.  I did not hear anything and he smiled.  “Well? Get to work!”  Maybe he did not want to know the truth and gave me a break.  It was one of many breaks.

Instagram Fitness Star Speaks Out After Getting Kicked Off American Airlines Flight

An Instagram fitness model was "humiliated" after being removed from an American Airlines flight following a row with staff.

Selter says a flight attendant yelled at her to sit down so they could take off, but when she told him to "relax" because the two people sitting next to her were in the bathroom, he asked her if she wanted to be kicked off the plane. The model later said she was being sarcastic. She said in the interview that she was approached by five officers after standing up to stretch and open her overhead bin.

While another passenger went to the restroom, the Instagram model stood up, later claiming she had been trying to put her jacket up.

Selter posted a final video where a young woman is seen saying that the flight attendants were allegedly harassing Selter "for no reason".

The fitness model said her flight to NY had been delayed for two hours when she got into an argument with a flight attendant who told her to sit down after she stood up to stretch her legs. It is unclear if the fellow passenger was travelling with Selter.

Supreme Court stays execution of inmate who lawyers say is not competent
The cert petition argues that executing Madison would be arbitrary and capricious now that the state abolished judicial override. Schulte was responding to a domestic call at Madison's ex-girlfriend's home in April 1985 when he was killed.

Selter and her sister were later taken off the flight by police officers, who told her the airline did not want her on the plane.

The model's first video indicates two individuals who seem, by all accounts, to be an aircraft pilot and flight orderly as Selter discloses to them why she stood up from her seat. Worst experience, American Air.

"I did nothing wrong, but got kicked off the plane", she added later. "American offered her hotel accommodations and transportation, which she declined". "The thing is, I saw what the guy did. She was just standing after two hours, we were waiting in the airplane", the woman says in the video. "One of the crew members. just came and started shouting at her, harassing her".

"Ms. Selter was asked to leave the aircraft after a disagreement occurred Saturday night at Miami International Airport (MIA)", a representative from the airline said. Selter did not respond to Yahoo Lifestyle's request for comment.

The videos Selter shot and posted on Twitter show the confrontation between Selter and American Airlines crew members, as another passenger comes to Selter's defense.

The Garden Table

Patience is a good thing when you refuse to shop for goods that aren't really of vital importance. Until recently I never owned a proper garden table. The thing is, plastic staple chairs are available in abundance (I have six of them), but the matching tables are always broken when I see them on the curb. The legs always break off. I think people just go out to buy a new set every two years or so. Now I like stuff that lasts. So knowing from my street experiences how shitty these plastic tables are I would certainly never ever spend money on them (and they're ugly at that). So I improvised with all sorts of found tables, end tables, mini tables, old office tables, that after a year in rain and cold would really be good for the trash, and I had to find something new again. Up until a couple of weaks ago. After delivering a found side table to a friend that he'd asked for, we took an unusual turn and my eye spotted this:

The frame's all iron and the top's a mosaic inlay, so it weighs a ton. It stood two blocks more far away than we usually go and my boyfriend said that's too heavy, but I had my mind set on it. After two streets I was totally out of breath, but then we were close enough to home for me to go for our trolley, while he guarded our trophy of the evening. This was really worth the effort and it even matches the green plastic chairs you see stapled up in the picture. By the way, when I found those they still had the bar code sticker of the shop on them. Totally unused.

The US has always had a hidden subculture of people who reuse or recycle trash. My grandparents did it but my parents not so much. I've always taken whatever I wanted from curbs and bins and other waste areas. Not much different in picking up a seashell or a scrap of lumber or a set of Legos in the box.

I applaud you for finding such great stuff and making it beautiful and unique.

Travis Erickson Real Estate Group Client Reviews

“I’ve bought 11 houses with 11 different Realtors, Travis Erickson is by far the best Realtor I’ve ever known. He should be a negotiating coach. He has the patience of a saint. Travis Erickson is a Real Estate Rock Star. A hero, and now a friend.” – Bob T.

This is a ridiculously long post that could just as easily be summed up in one sentence: You’d be crazy not to go with this guy.

Travis couldn’t have been a more patient, kind, knowledgeable agent. We saw whatever house we wanted to see, when we wanted to see it. And he returns your calls. Every last one. Which for us was a lot of calls.He was always thinking about what houses might work for us. I remember surfing online and finding what I thought might be the perfect house. As I clicked the “send” button to email Travis about it, at that very instant an email from him popped up in my inbox with the exact same house.

Travis comes from a family of remodelers. I think this might be what gives him such good insight as to what makes a property worth its value. He’s got a great eye for craftsmanship and on many occasions saved us from a potential money pit.

If you look at his site, you’ll see he sells a lot of homes and keeps very, very busy. But the most impressive part about Travis is he makes you feel like you’re his only client. He does things that go way beyond his job description. He found us a cheaper title company, helped us negotiate for new windows from the sellers. And then he called installers and researched the best windows for us to get! He even called our mortgage lender when we were having trouble getting information from them. He’s a tireless advocate for anything that involves you finding the perfect home.

We’re first-time home buyers and we honestly had no idea what to look for in an agent. We went to one of his open houses and just liked the way he let us walk around without badgering us. He wasn’t the slightest bit pushy.  He told us at the very beginning that it didn’t matter to him how long it took us to find a house. In the end, it took about 6 months. We saw over 50 houses. And during all that time, I never got the feeling even for an instant that Travis was losing his patience. He genuinely cared about making sure we found a house we loved.

We’re moving in this Saturday, and we couldn’t be more excited. We expected to fall in love with whatever house we bought. What we didn’t expect was that we would fall in love with the agent.    Kevin & Andrea Freidberg       (Bought in St. Paul)

I was extremely happy with your work as my seller’s agent. I especially liked that you were thinking about and experimenting with new strategies and not just doing the same things every other agent was doing. The marketing of my house exceeded my expectations–having the input of a stager was so helpful, and the photography really was killer. I showed the pixs and video to so many people, and the universal response was “wow!”
The process of setting appointments, handled by Kendra, was flawless; she never missed a beat. (In contrast we have had my mother’s home up for sale and the entire appointment process was full of missteps. ugh!). Your execution of the process was timely, accurate and efficient. I also liked your use of technology, e.g., docusign, email, etc. to move things along efficiently.  – Gwen 45th Ave S

Travis knows the greater Longfellow neighborhood very well. He provided a very professional assessment of our house and presented a clear marketing plan. Once we selected Travis to sell our house, he laid out the timeline and things that needed to be done before listing the house. We worked together to list at a good price, and generated a lot of foot traffic to sell the house quickly and very close to list price.

I highly recommend Travis and his team!  – Matt Huston

Travis assisted us in both selling and purchasing our present home. Travis was always available and would be able to get us showings immediately with little or no notice. Travis lives in the general area where we were selling and wanted to buy. This was helpful, as he had direct knowledge of the local comps and was able to provide accurate advice on setting a price for selling and for bidding on the new one. He set realistic expectations for selling our home and we were very pleasantly surprised when our home exceeded our asking price. Travis also did a terrific job in negotiating the purchase price when we bought our present home and provided us with a worry-free experience. We ended up buying our present home for significantly less than the asking price even though the asking price was accurate for the market. I would recommend Travis to anyone buying or selling a home. He really listened to us about what we wanted and carried out our wishes until we sold our home and found another that was just right.  – Matt Johnson Sold 4440 15th Ave S and Bought in Southwest Minneapolis

Travis was always available to us-anytime we had a question and for many same day showings. He understood how fast the market was moving in the area we wanted to be and he responded as such. We would not have been able to get the house we wanted, in the neighborhood we wanted, for the price we wanted without his around the clock dedication! At the same time, Travis used his innovative approach to market our old house and was able to generate tons of interest that led to multiple offers and let us be in the position to select the best offer.  – Shelley Johnson Sold 4440 15th Ave S and bought in Southwest Minneapolis

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Travis. While we relocated out of state, Travis went more than the extra mile to make it easy for us to complete this transaction. I would highly recommend Travis to any person contemplating selling their home.” Doug & Patty G.  4533 47th Ave S

“Travis, I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for helping me find and purchase a home. You made everything SO easy and smooth for me. From day one, you made it your goal to help me find what I was looking for, constantly e-mailing properties that you felt matched what I wanted always going out of your way to make sure I had all the information, setting up appointments on short notice and just providing the friendly service that is often hard to find these days. You were extremely patient, always smiling and willing to help in any way possible. No matter what the obstacle was you found a way around it!! You were not pushy to get the sale and always looked out for our best interest. Anytime I or anyone I talk to is in need of buying or selling a house, I’m DEFINITELY sending them to you.”         ~ Hodan Mohamed (Bought in Savage, MN)

Travis and Casey went way beyond what I would expect from Realtors.  Their efforts, optimism and support during the sales process kept me going in a tough market, and they got the house sold in a short timeframe given the market conditions. I would recommend them to anyone!
– Margaret Landry

Exceptional Agents- went beyond the realm of a typical/normal Realtor/Agent. Great marketing skill – good feedback from open houses. Travis and Casey Did Not just list the property – they were active participants & helpful participants up to the day of closing. Would highly reccommend to friends and neighbors.
-Shirley & George Janssen

Travis, you’re one exceptional human being and you made my real estate transactions easy and fun! Thanks for your expertise and your great sense of humor.
– Barbara Van Deinse

As first time home buyers Travis made us feel that throughout the process there was at least one person we could trust.
Jeremy & Janie

I was completely satisified with Travis´s service.  Throughout the process my best friend and I started looking for something completely different than what we finally chose and in fact ended up having some construction issues. He was patient and grounding through a difficult, stressful, confusing, exciting time of becoming a first time home buyer.
– Joselynne Little

“We were beyond satisfied with the service we received from Travis. He worked quickly to find exactly what we needed.”
– Nathan & Brittany Lundgren

Travis was an absolute pleasure to deal with, when we recently listed and sold our house with him. His dedication to serving our best interests, combined with his initiative, marketing skills and a high degree of knowledge and professionalism, greatly impressed us. He consistently went well beyond the normal duties of a Realtor, helping to stage the house for sale. Above all, he showed a high degree of integrity at all times. We would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends. Indeed, we already have!   Dr. Stephen and Susan Strother

Melodic Treks 72: Another Dimension / by Brandon-Shea Mutala

"Dust" and "The Invaders" with Tom Elliot.

Prolific composer Jerry Goldsmith, began his composing career with television in 1954 with the television series The Lineup. Throughout the fifties, his resume slowly started to grow until it exploded in the sixties with over forty different productions that he would work on. One of the television shows that he would compose for in the early sixties was the cult classic called The Twilight Zone.

In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Tom Elliot, host of The Twilight Zone Podcast, to discuss Goldsmith's contributions to two classic episodes from the second season of that show. We also compare the music of "The Invaders" to Bernard Herrmann's work on Psycho, as well as the effectiveness of the score in an episode that has almost no dialogue. We also talk about Goldsmith's Mexican influenced score to the episode "Dust," and the legacy of that episode.

Argentina random chat webcam - Bobby sura and dating

Sura opened two consecutive hands during the first orbit of play.The first won him the blinds and antes but during the second he ran into some opposition.

They could be a good matchup with the up-and-coming team of Franks.

You’ve got the Steves, who sound like they’re either going to be super-entertaining or a total disaster (Steve Nash, Steve Francis, Steve Kerr, Steve Smith, and Steven Adams).

Late Wednesday night, I was asked a question that I have not been able to stop thinking about since. It appeared plain and direct at first, but was actually layered and nuanced, which is to say it was my favorite kind of question. So when thinking on the question, the following six rules need to be considered and followed: The main team this rule has an effect against is the Davids.

Now, if we’re going to extend that into something bigger here, then we’re going to need to do some fence-building first to help the conversation keep its shape.

I don't want the skin, I don't have any intention of ever playing Standard, and I'd have to craft a ton of cards to have any chance of winning 10 Standard games in a reasonable amount of time. Still not interested in spending an hour accomplishing nothing other than unlocking a quest slot.

Jennifer Lopez Has Reportedly Hired A Private Investigator To Spy On Alex Rodriquez

Just call her Lopez — JENNIFER Lopez.

According to a new report from Us Weekly, the 47-year-old singer is taking her budding relationship with Alex Rodriguez *really* seriously — perhaps a little TOO seriously? — and hired a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR to follow her beau's every move.

One unnamed source told Us that the couple had a "huge fight" after A-Rod found out about the spy, "but they're working through it."

To be fair to J. Lo, their 4-month-old relationship hasn't exactly been free of cheating rumors — remember when the National Enquirer published that scandalous interview with A-Rod's alleged mistress in June?

@GossipCop on Twitter

While TMZ reported that Lopez was supporting A-Rod 100-percent in the wake of the Enquirer's report last month, Us' insider tells a slightly different story, claiming Lopez opted to hire the private investigator just in case the rumors turn out to be true.

"She's really into Alex and wants it to work," the source explained. "So she's trying to control as much as she can."

So what do you think: Is J. Lo overreacting, or does she have good reason to be extra, extra, EXTRA cautious? Now that we think about it, we sort of empathize with her — if our significant others were caught up in such major drama, we'd probably go all Columbo on them, too.

The latter formerly worked as an actress and classical dancer but is now pursuing a career with children with special needs. In an interview in The Guardian, Lakshmi said, "My father had quit his job as an executive at Pfizer to manage her career. That was kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. I didn't understand why he wanted that relationship with her, and not with me."

In 1984, when she was 14 years old, Padma was in a car accident in Malibu, California, causing an injury to her right arm that required surgery, which left a 7-inch scar between her elbow and shoulder. The incident happened on a Sunday afternoon as Padma was being driven home from a Hindu temple in Malibu. She remembers a flash of orange, looking over to see the large car upon her. Padma describes the event in the April 2001 edition of Vogue, saying, "Being in a car crash was like an exhilarating hallucination, an unbelievable moment that oddly remains one of the most beautiful images in my memory." The car left Padma with injuries that included a fractured right hip and a shattered upper right arm.

"Padma Lakshmi nearly 'bursts out' of her dress"
Padma Lakshmi barely managed to stay covered when she recently appeared at an event in a dress, which was a size too small for her. The 42-year-old model, who is mainly known for her impeccable style, had worn a floor length strapless flesh coloured dress that was a bit tight for her at the red carpet of the 2012 Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
The American Indian actress tried her best to flaunt her womanly curves in the dress with silk lacing details, exposing small sections of her back.
The mother-of-one wore her loosely curled hair back in a ponytail, kept her make-up simple and opted to wear a pair of small diamond earrings.

Padma later congratulated director Dan Savage on Twitter.
"Congrats to the governors award Emmy winners for their "it gets better" video movement: Dan Savage and Terry Miller!" the Daily Mail quoted Padma as tweeting.
The former wife of Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie also posted a picture of herself and comic Kathy Griffin to her Twitter page, which was captioned- "Me and my Ginger homey."

Padma Lakshmi scores a rare fashion miss as tight dress struggles to contain her curves at the Creative Arts Emmys
She rarely puts a foot wrong whenever she steps out on the red carpet as she is arguably one of the most stylish women on television.
But last night (Saturday) at The Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences 2012 Creative Arts Emmy Awards that wasn't the case for Padma Lakshmi.
The 42-year-old failed to show off her usually flawless stylish ways when she took to the main event in a dress that appeared to be a size too small.

The rear of the dress was brought together with silk lacing detail which exposed small sections of her back.

Padma Lakshmi Thinks You're Weak for Liking White-Wine Spritzers

Despite the popularity of white-wine spritzers, one celebrity does not support enjoying a glass. Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi made her feelings on spritzers, men drinking wine, and luxury wines known to Esquire, in some choice (and not so choice) words.
Lakshmi, who is working with Sterling Vineyards in Napa Valley, Calif., on its Ultimate Host competition, talked with Esquire writer Matt Goulet about wines. Want to drink like Lakshmi? Her opinions from the interview, below:
• (When asked about men drinking wine) "I'm in favor of it. I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food — it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included. But if you approach it wine by wine, and if you like a wine that you drink, now with your phone, it's so easy. Just take a picture of the label. You learn about it. You learn where it comes from and what the soil is like and why you like it. And that'll lead you to another wine."
"You can't drink [wine] alone. It's all very subjective. Wine, like food, is so emotional. If you think about it, so much of the courting ritual is surrounded by wine and food. There's a built-in romance to wine."
• (When asked if a bottle of wine can win a woman over) "It can speed up the process. I don't think just any bottle of wine. But it helps. It's not a miracle-worker."
• (When asked how she feels about white-wine spritzers) "No. That's a real pussy drink. And I don't mean that in a good way."

'Padma Lakshmi says she needs a dress for Emmys'

She was stunning in a hot pink Monique Lhuillier dress and matching lipstick Saturday night at the designer's show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, but "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi said she's still in the market for an outfit to wear to the Emmy Awards.
"I am shopping for dresses," she said, adding that her main priority is comfort.
"Do I feel good in it? Do I feel comfortable? No matter how good you look in a dress, if you're not comfortable, it's going to show."
Padma lakshmi Scar Photos/Pictures/Pics/Images Daughter/baby Gallery Latest Salman Tamilnadu
Padma lakshmi Pics
She said she felt great in her Lhiullier dress, which, although it fit her perfectly, had plenty of stretch.
"It feels kind of like I'm wearing a soft wet suit," she said.
Lakshmi was in good humor when a reporter repeatedly mispronounced her name on camera before the show.
"That is some funny [stuff]," she said with a laugh.

"Four Glasses of Wine with Padma Lakshmi"

On the 38th floor of the Empire State Building, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi has set out four bottles of Sterling Vineyards wine. Lakshmi is working with Sterling Vineyards on their Ultimate Host competition.
PADMA LAKSHMI: I'm not going to be drinking — well, except for today, because this is work. But other than today, I'm not going to be drinking much until the Emmys. But if Top Chef wins, I expect a huge barrel of something. Sterling also does the Emmys. Too bad they can't get the voters drunk, so they don't vote for Amazing Race anymore. [Sighs] But we digress. We digress.

Instagram may have been cluttered with pictures of angry New York storm clouds on Saturday evening, and the tents were no less crowded at Monique Lhuillier’s show. Odette Annable benefited from a particularly majestic piece of scheduling that had her at Lincoln Center for Hervé Léger in the tents during the afternoon and then back for Monique Lhuillier at night, with pretty much the entire crazy storm system coming and going in between. “That is lucky, because there was a full-on tornado going on out there. It’s wild,” she marveled. And it’s even more fortuitous because she was clad in a sleek white dress that would have turned a wee bit pornographic if it had been drenched. Apparently, even Mother Nature respects a girl’s need for privacy.

Though this is her second fashion week, Annable balked at being called a fashionista – “That term freaks me out!” – but based on what we heard her tell a reporter, we think she has this whole thing figured out: pre-show wine, a hair and makeup crew, and loud music. “It’s all about having a good time,” she said. “This whole thing is so dreamy.” She also said it was a blast deciding which of her three Lhuillier options to wear, and credited hubby Dave Annable (from Brothers and Sisters, and the upcoming 666 Park Avenue) with helping her sift through everything: “I showed him a couple looks, and he was like, ‘Okay, go with that one, and that one.’ He was actually helpful.” And also apparently correct, because she looked like a million bucks. That is a valuable commodity in a guy smart lady.
Padma lakshmi Scar Photos/Pictures/Pics/Images Daughter Gallery Latest News Salman Tamilnadu
Padma lakshmi Latest Images
Annable had a weirdly difficult time getting to her seat, thanks to some foreign journalists who were obsessed with getting her photo holding their talisman. One of them jammed a red and white stuffed devil into her hand and then started snapping her picture, while she confusedly— but politely, and very gamely posed with it for them. Later, we saw the same group approach Padma Lakshmi with the same request, and Padma seemed even more perplexed— and, frankly, kind of awkward and (beautifully) annoyed about the whole thing.

Luckily, a nearby TV reporter gracefully intercepted on her behalf, pretended to need to talk to her, and then smoothly blocked out the Plushie-Pushers. It was so well done that we’re pretty sure she owes him at least a couple of cocktails. He’s going to have to fight for her attention, though. When Padma came out from backstage – all flowery dress and flowing hair and gorgeous Padma-ness – the dude behind us leaned forward. “Who is that?” he wondered. We explained, and he leaned back and shook his head, admiringly. “Padma,” he repeated. “No shit.” Get in line, buddy.

Seizure Strength Improvement for Phosphate-Stearate Coatings Involved in Cold Forging of Steel

A seizure test particularly well suited to evaluate the mechanical strength of phosphate-stearate coatings has been developed. Test results, including tangential friction force and time at the onset of seizure, are related to the effective phosphate bonding and to lubricant reactive effects. It is shown that seizure is delayed if the phosphate coating is annealed at 500°C just before soaping. The γ-Zn3 (PO4 )2 formation which occurs with a decrease in volume induces cracking along hopeite needles and causes an increase in reactive surface for soaping and, therefore, an increase in the quantity of zinc phosphate converted into zinc stearate. Improvement of the phosphate coating by annealing at 500°C before soaping may be an attractive alternative to the use of molybdenum disulfide lubricants.

It's Award and Film Fest Season

Since I was a little girl I loved to watch the Academy Awards. I never missed them. Ever. I, of course, was going to win one, followed by a Grammy or two, then a Tony. Not necessarily in that order. Ah, childhood dreams...As I have aged and the award shows have become more political and more self-indulgent, I have stayed away. I do however, still love a great film, a good song, and a grand Broadway show. Here are some of the movies (in theatres) I have enjoyed this year: (My favorite is above.)

ScrapBox Organization & Storage said...

I just watched Up again with Garreth last week. What an absolutely delightful movie. Haven't seen everything on your list yet, but I plan to. Also loved Julie and Julia. "Yes, I have ADD. That's why I'm so bad at housework."

I loved all of these! Except I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet.

EEE I love all of those movies (except still need to see Holmes). wildthingswildthingswildthingswildthings.
