Hello, I must be going...

mailing sunny - hot and humid - temps 29

Very muggy. LOVING the geo. But I spend all day editing on the screen porch. Absolutely heaven. Take trudy for a walk when I get fed up or frightened, or confused. She is getting in good shape.

To be fair, the book is also in far better shape than I dared hope - both in terms of the quality and structure of the first draft, and the way the second draft is going. I made a lot of notes in the weeks I took off between the two, and I think they're paying off. Today was a bit dicey - some pivotal stuff needed to be added and switched around...but it worked well. Oh, thank heaven.

Amazing how powerful fear is. I was thinking this morning, after editing just 5 pages of the 25 I was hoping to do - that maybe I should stop. Just stop. I didn't want to do it anymore. Oddly, this wasn't in a particularly difficult section. and while tired, I don't think I'm any more tired than anyone of you.

I think it was fear...again. Not focussed, just sort of free-floating. fortunately I recognized the feeling...had it in the first draft too - and in each of the past I near the end of a draft I shy away from it. Feet that had felt light and strong suddenly feel leaden. Some invisible power is pushing me away from the end, like a polar opposite magnet.

But clearly that's not reasonable, and certainly not an option. So I just need to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Nose down.

And sure enough, within a page, that feeling had gone. Am now at page 228 out of 280. Slightly more than 60 to go, though I suspect I'll be adding some at the end. I think I hurried it, so desperate was I to finish the first draft. My hope is to be finished the second draft (first edit) by the end of the week. It should be possible, though I also know it slows down at the end, just because of the intricacy of it.

Had a fun day yesterday. Edited until 1pm, then Michael and went to Knowlton and had lunch with kevin and Terry Tierney. Then at 4:30 I interviewed Kevin as part of the Knowlton WordFest. Fabulous festival...lots of amazing guests. Kevin produced Bon Cop, Bad cop. Very funny - and the most successful Canadian film at the box office in decades. His new film is out in Oct and is called French Immersion.

Must run - Bal, Linda, Bethany and their friend Trevor have arrived...staying in cottage...came over for swims, drinks, nibblies. then I'm off to give the literacy speech to end the Knowlton WordFest. Bye!

kath said...

Sorry to hear that anxiety creeps in.
How funny that is to me. You are quite a remarkable writer, you know.
I guess it's only natural though.
I look forward to this book and hope it flows smoothly for you !

Miss Diane said...

J'imagine un peu à quel point cela doit être stressant de finaliser et peaufiner un livre. Mais je suis certaine que vous y arriverez, comme toujours.

J'étais à Knowlton aujourd'hui dans l'espoir de vous rencontrer. À la librairie, on m'a dit que vous étiez dans le coin. J'ai acheté "Bury your Dead", le seul qui me manquait et la dame m'a dit d'ouvrir l'oeil au cas où je vous rencontrerais afin de vous faire autographier le livre. Malheureusement, ce ne fut pas le cas. Ce sera pour une prochaine fois!

Je vous souhaite une excellente semaine!

lil Gluckstern said...

How good that you understand your writing process. You will come through as always and produce your jewel, as always. Can't wait for Trick of the Light!

Beverley Baird said...

I just finished "Bury Your Dead" and absolutely loved it. It was powerful, kept me so captivated - I did not want to put it down!
Now I will have to start at the beginning!
I read it for the OneBook One Community here in Kitchener - but after page I was drawn in. Thank you so much.

Tall Pines Pottery said...

Louise, thanks for sharing how delicate a balance there is between doing the work you love and the fear of it. I certainly can relate.
Rock on!

Perfect for Father's (Day), Too

Everyone who knows me knows about my affinity for G&T's. They've been my signature drink for what seems like ever, and it's practically the only cocktail I'm interested in. Obviously with summer around the corner I'll be making them by the pitcher.

I've seen this little ice cube tray several times, and I can't decide if I forget to keep ordering it because I have a terrible memory or if it's because I secretly think it's a little morbid. Mostly, though, I think it's probably just clever, and that's good enough for me

Tangueray and tonics for all!

Nam Center Colloquium Series | Master or Servant? Public Opinion, Polling, and Democratic Responsiveness in Korea

Taeku Lee, Professor of Political Science and Professor of Law, University of California Berkeley
Wednesday, March 22, 2017
4:00-5:30 PM
Room 1636 School of Social Work Building Map
This event was rescheduled from March 15, due to weather-related issues.

Co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science and Political Scientists of Color (PSOC).

"Political responsiveness" is a foundation stone of modern democracies, entailing an expectation that governments will heed and reckon the interests and demands of the polities they govern over and for with some regularity. To date the political science study of responsiveness is largely the province of scholars of American politics and its presence sought by matching the timing of changes in public opinion (as measured by opinion polls) to the timing of legislative debate and decision. This paper aims to extend the parameters of the study of political responsiveness in several aspects. First, it examines responsiveness in non-U.S. contexts, with South Korea as the primary focus and comparisons to Taiwan and Japan. Second, it adopts a more critical standpoint on the nature of public opinion and its relation to polling and political responsiveness. Rather than assuming that polls correspond faithfully to mass opinion qua democratic publics, it unpacks this association by tracing the historical evolution of modern polling and assessing the quality of polling data as a measure of mass opinion. Third, rather than testing for the statistical congruence of polling data and legislative action, this paper relies principally on in-depth interviews of experts representing the organizational field of polling on elections and politics in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The (preliminary) findings show a far more multifaceted, if not democratically distressing, view of the relationship between polling, public opinion, and political responsiveness than previous, U.S.-based accounts of "rational publics."

Taeku Lee is Professor of Political Science and Professor of Law at Berkeley. He has written or edited Mobilizing Public Opinion (Chicago 2002); Transforming Politics, Transforming America (with Ricardo Ramírez and S. Karthick Ramakrishnan, Virginia 2006), Why Americans Don't Join the Party (with Zoltan Hajnal, Princeton 2011), Asian American Political Participation (with Janelle Wong, S. Karthick Ramakrishnan, Jane Junn, Russell Sage 2011) and Accountability through Public Opinion (with Sina Odugbemi, World Bank, 2011). Mobilizing Public Opinion received the J. David Greenstone and the V.O. Key book award in 2003; Why Americans Don't Join the Party was awarded the best book award from the Race and Ethnic Politics section of the American Political Science Association.

Lee is currently Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-Principal Investigator of the National Asian American Survey. Lee has served in various leadership, advisory, and consultative capacities including the Board of the American National Election Studies, the Board of the General Social Survey, and the Council of the American Political Science Association. Prior to coming to Berkeley, he was Assistant Professor of Public Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School and Robert Wood Johnson Scholar at Yale. Lee was born in South Korea, grew up in rural Malaysia, Manhattan, and suburban Detroit, and is a proud graduate of K-12 public schools, the University of Michigan (AB), Harvard University (MPP), and the University of Chicago (PhD).

Teaching the Young (Shiznat fic)

Post by NFKuga on Sat Sep 04, 2010 1:27 am

"You know, there are no faces attached to the blood bags in the kitchen."

Natsuki shivered, a strange image of blood bags with smiley faces drawn on them popping into her head. Like that was helping any.

"Ah, n-no thanks. I'm ok, really. Just…tired."

"Vampires rarely sleep. You're tired because you're not feeding enough. Not feeding at all, really."

The girl sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose with cold fingers. "Honestly, Shizuru, you worry too much."

Shizuru simply smiled that irritatingly condescending smile of hers and chuckled. "My dear Natsuki, I don't think I worry enough." She sat on the edge of the bed, a few feet from where Natsuki stood, gazing at the younger girl. Natsuki was still, almost statuesque, as she stared out the window at the night sky.

There was a bout of silence before Natsuki sighed heavily, running a hand through raven locks. "What did you want, Shizuru?"

The brunette looked to the side, fingers trailing along the silken sheets of the bed. "To talk. To tell you… that I understand."

Natsuki turned and raised a brow.

"You understand? Understand what?"

"What you are going through." Shizuru smiled, though it did not reach her ears. "I was there too, you know. We all were."

"It's not as bad as Natsuki thinks."

The younger girl scowled and turned away, her eyes again drifting out the window. Shizuru sighed.

"Let me help you, Natsuki."

Shizuru did not answer. Instead she rose to her feet, quietly making her way to the brooding woman. "Natsuki…"

She did not answer.

"Natsuki, please, look at me?"

With a sigh the girl turned, jumping slightly at the sudden closeness of the other woman.

"Do you trust me?"

"Shizuru, wha—"

"Just answer me."

A pause…and then, "Yes, Shizuru. Of course I trust you."

She smiled, a genuine one this time. Shizuru softly caressed her fingers over Natsuki's cheek, trailing them ever so slowly down the girl face, to the back of her neck, twirling her fingers gently around Natsuki's hair.

"It's alright, Natsuki…trust me." Shizuru gently pulled Natsuki closer until the younger girl's face was nestled nicely against her neck. Natsuki sighed softly, nuzzling her girlfriend's neck lovingly. Shizuru giggled softly, running her fingers through Natsuki's silken hair.

They stayed like that for a while, held in each others arms, but Natsuki wasn't sure as to how this was helping her. Sure she loved being around Shizuru, the feeling she got when Shizuru teased her (even though she was annoyed most of the time) of the way Shizuru smelled…

Natsuki blinked, suddenly aware of the sound of Shizuru's blood rushing through her veins, the feel of it as it throbbed against her lips, so close to Shizuru's neck. She could practically taste it, the smell mixing with Shizuru's own sweet scent slowly intoxicating her.

She needed to move.

"Shizuru…" She winced at the strangled sound of her voice as she tried to pull away. Shizuru held fast, though, pressing her face closer to her skin.

"It's alright, Natsuki." Shizuru cooed softly in her ear.

Natsuki struggled further, a low growl rising in her throat.

"S-Shizuru, please. need to let me go. I can't…" Natsuki's plea turned into a desperate whine.

She wanted Shizuru. She smelled so good, felt so soft. Another growl, louder this time, rumbled in her chest as her fangs lowered, tingling.

"Can't what, my Natsuki? What is it?" Shizuru continued running her fingers gingerly though the girl's hair. She knew the answer already, but the first step in helping Natsuki was getting her to understand, to accept it.

"I…I want…"

"I want to feed." Natsuki growled, primal.

"No one is stopping you, Natsuki."

"No, I-I can't…"

Shizuru sighed. She was going to have to push this further then. Her grip on Natsuki's neck became tighter, tighter, until she knew she was drawing blood. Natsuki groaned, whether in pain or pleasure Shizuru didn't know.

"Natsuki, feed. You must."

Her protest was cut off as Shizuru raked her nails down the back of Natsuki's neck, the girl hissing in pain. She growled then, viridian eyes flashing yellow as she sunk her fangs into her lover's neck, all control lost.

Shizuru groaned and threw her head back allowing Natsuki better access to her throat. She smiled, satisfied with herself, another moan working its way from her chest. Natsuki was so forceful now, so demanding, so…hungry. Shizuru was in heaven.

Natsuki growled softly, her grip around Shizuru becoming desperate. She wanted more; more blood, more of Shizuru and her intoxicating scent. She clutched at Shizuru, fists clenching and unclenching as she drank. Blood dribbled out of her mouth, down her neck, as she sloppily lapped at the wound she had created.

"Oh god, Natsuki" Shizuru moaned, burying her fingers in Natsuki's lovely hair once more.

Natsuki's ears perked at the call of her name. Even through her pleasurable haze she heard Shizuru's moan. It startled her. Natsuki blinked and stumbled backwards, confused and slightly off-balance, her eyes focusing on Shizuru and the bleeding wound on her neck.

Shizuru sighed as Natsuki, in a sense, pulled out of her. Her eyes fluttered open and locked on the girl in front of her. Natsuki, lips rimmed with blood and a bewildered look upon her face, actually looked quite…cute. Shizuru smiled at her, gently cupping the girl's cheek in her hand and wiping the blood with the pad of her thumb.

"Natsuki? How do you feel?"

Natsuki, still in a slight haze, reached out and touched the side of Shizuru's face. She was right. It wasn't as bad as Natsuki thought. It was fantastic, electrifying…intimate. Natsuki licked her lips and shivered at the taste of Shizuru still lingering on her tongue. One hunger was sated, but another was growing just as strong.

The raven haired girl surged forward, her lips crashing against the brunettes in such a demanding kiss that Shizuru actually stumbled.

But before Shizuru could properly respond Natsuki pulled back, breathing heavily, stumbling a few paces back. Her gaze trailed over Shizuru, taking in every curve, every dip of her body. She wanted her. She wanted her bad.

Shizuru's lips were swollen, stained red with blood. Her hair was tousled, a mane of gold. Her eyes were now a smoldering red, like lava, heated by the feel of Natsuki feeing from her. She looked beautiful and wild, an untamed lioness ready to pounce.

Natsuki groaned and clutched her head, shaking the perverted thoughts from her mind.

At the sound of her Natsuki in pain Shizuru snapped out of her stupor, rushing to the girl's side. "Natsuki?"

Natsuki flinched and pulled away from Shizuru's touch.

"Shizuru, don't, not yet. I-I don't…trust myself yet. Please."

Shizuru frowned. "Kannin na, Natsuki. I didn't think—"

"No! No…please. Don't be sorry. Shizuru what you did for me…that was…my god. It was amazing."

Shizuru smiled then, lightly brushing Natsuki's sweaty bangs from her face. "See? It wasn't so bad."

"No, no it wasn't. But…"

Natsuki looked up and grinned, a flash of fangs. "There's another hunger that you can help me with."

Now this a better alternative to Twilight. :D

This is the first time I read anything with ShizNat as vampires. This chapter is once again, straight forward in typical NFKuga style, with detailed intimate moments. With Natsuki's hunger building, her inner seme starts to break out. I loved it! XD Chapter two is next...

The law of physics: Whenever there's this much gay in one room, Shizuru manifests!
When Shizuru said "Ara" for the first time, the "Ara" broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies.

A List Of Soil Science Term Paper Topics To Write About

Writing a term paper is quite a challenging task because of the research involve. Students need to come up with great ideas, carry out research, perform custom surveys and format their paper in order to impress their teachers. This can be tiring because they are new to such kind of assignments. In school, all they have to think about is creative writing assignments and essays on comparatively easy subjects. When they promote to college or university they get to learn about new ways of writing papers and methods to cover academic papers.

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to manage all the workload and stress of moving into a higher grade because the teachers and parents have high expectations from you. You are no longer a kid but an adult who is supposed to take responsibility of his academic performance. The length of these assignments also increases with the complexity. Research papers, dissertations, thesis and term papers tend to have thousands of words. Each of these words should be carefully analyzed and evaluated before you include it in your final paper.

The most challenging part however, in writing a term paper is to choose a valid and original topic. By original it means that your topic should be unique and completely your own idea. You may have an inspiration for this paper but the topic must be fresh and new. If you choose to write about an obsolete or over dragged issue then your paper will not get much attention and the teacher may not even read it until the end. You need to take a stance that can interest your paper and hook them to know more about your research.

Term paper topics to write about soil science

  1. The major components of soil and there proof
  2. The role of bioproduction in studying soil properties around the globe
  3. Soil samples collected from across the world reveal interesting facts about the culture and lifestyle
  4. What is a soil ecosystem and how does it work
  5. The insight to greenhouse gasses and biomass
  6. How do people convert their waste into producing electricity and power
  7. How is earth a natural conductor, does it relate with the properties of soil
  8. What are soil microorganisms and what role they play in maintaining the global environments
  9. Why do plants have their roots in the soil and how it relates with the microorganisms present in the soil
  10. What is acid soil

« Part 1: Diablo Blades Part 2 of Bargin Deals and Steals series no next part

I received my usual email from Rockler and Woodcraft the other day and hym-hoded about buying anything. Till I did a little searching on Woodcrafts clearance section. I found a set of 10 painter pyramids on sale for $2.99 reg $5.99. I’ve been eyeballing these for awhile waitng for the right moment and that time has come.

Some of us have experienced this more than once, trying to complete a project and only have to wait for the other side to dry before starting the other. Well no more delaying the customer with these. I feel my purchase is well spent and the funds have been well distributed.

Along with my purchase I spent the extra money on a Wixley digital gauge. I’ve been looking at these and just couldn’t part with my hard earned cash till now. This was also on sale for a great price. Those precise cuts are calling my name!!

Topic tags/keywords: spalted maple

Last week, I had a piece of spalted maple that I took to work to show a coworker.. It was a very nice slab that looks like a spalted burl, as the grain looks like cinnamon on toast.

Unfortunately, I left it in my truck overnight and we had a freak rain shower out of nowhere and the top of the slab was soaked. I brought it in to the house to dry and checked on it a couple days later. I had weighed down the center to try to get it back to its shape, but when I checked on it, it was now cupped the other way, like a bowl. I also noticed that there was some fuzziness on the top. When I flipped it over, I found that the entire bottom side was covered with a mold or fungus of some sort.

My questions are
  1. is it still safe to use?
  2. is it safe to keep in the house to continue to dry out
  3. is there interest in the fuzz (I see some people on here from time to time trying to cultivate it)

I couldn’t believe how fast ‘the fuzz’ grew.. It was about 36 hours between it being soaked and it being a culture site. Also, this wood was KDed at one point.. would/shouldn’t that have killed off the culture?

My guess is that it was not properly kiln dried(not high enough temp).
Fungus is dead in kiln dried wood and dormant in air dried wood.

Fungal, mold, and mildew spores are all over the place. It does not matter that it was kiln dried because you un-kiln dried by leaving it in the rain. The spores were in the environment. The conditions were perfect for fungal/mold growth, and that is what happened.

Any wood that is kiln dried that is left out in the outside environment will re-equilibrate with the ambient environmental conditions, meaning that the wood will gain moisture, the amount based on the humidity. The board cupped because after it got wet, it dried more on the exposed side than on the underside, creating tension that caused the cupping. If you turn the cupped side down flat on a surface, it might flatten back out. Then, be sure and store it so that air can circulate freely around both side of the board until the board reaches equilibrium again.

Topic tags/keywords: refinishing hardwood floors

I am attempting to refinish fir floors that are anywhere from 50-110 years old. We have sanded with 36 grit (to remove paint and linoleum adhesive) and then 60 grit and are pleased with how they look. We would like to go straight to applying something like Verathane clear water-based polyurethane to the floor (no staining) because we are on a very tight budget and timeframe. We have a few questions first. Do we absolutely need to sand with a higher grit first? Can we clean the dust from the floors with a tack cloth or is something like mineral spirits better? Finally, do we need to use a sealer before the polyurethane? Thanks for the help!!

Well, I’m sure some of the flooring experts will be along to give definitive advise, but I can’t imagine finishing at 60 grit. I usually take softwood and hardwood projects to 150 grit.

As far as cleaning, I avoid tack cloths (they have a residue). I would vacuum the dust, and wipe the floor down with cheese cloth.

I hope you find your answers.

I agree with Pinto. Soft wood should be sanded to a higher grit. Wipe the wood with mineral spirits. You will see sanding marks at 60 grit. I would sand to 150. 80 or 100 grit with hardwoods. I do not recommend staining fir. As far as sealer, use the recommended sealer for whatever waterbased floor finish you are using. Also, make sure you use flooring finish. They are more expensive than regular finish for a reason.

Yes you absolutely need to sand to a higher grit. 60 then 80 then finish up with 100. Always going WITH the grain. Fir is soft and will show divots so don’t stay in any one place too long.

Vacuum between grits because if you get a piece of 60 stuck under the 80, you’ll never get rid of the scratches. You can use mineral spirits after you vacuum to check how it’s going to look when it’s finished without raising the grain. If you see scratches, divots, etc, go back and redo that area.

No sealer needed before poly but if you’re using a water based poly, wet the floor down first with a damp rag to raise the fibers, sand off the fuzz, vacuum and then poly. If you don’t, your first coat of poly will raise the grain and a lot of hard work will have been for nothing.

Just remember the saying: “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

How To Cowboy - Connie Walsh      2004               5:22
How To Communicate - Connie Walsh      2004               5:22

Based on commercial informational videos, these pieces focus on the obsessive nature of the subjects themselves. Instead of providing useful, objective lessons, I employ linguistic units or compositions to construct/reveal the subjects themselves and their idiosyncratic relation to these activities. The pieces explore the interplay between public presentation and private experience.

Connie Walsh received her MFA from Rhode island School of Design. After a residency at Skowhegan she moved to New York where she had her first solo show, “REC,” at Marianne Boesky Gallery, followed by ‘Connie Walsh’ at SculptureCenter. Her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany among others. Walsh’s work deals conceptually with public versus private modes of experience. She currently lives in Los Angeles where she is working on the installation, Drowning.

Polar Bears - Ido Fluk      2005               5:27
Polar Bears is a video part figurative and part abstract, part environmental-tale and part personal-essay, examines two seemingly different stories: the first about an oil company engineer who tells me about designing a big drill site in Siberia (and cutting down an entire forest in the process) and the second about a young man's desire for fame in the age of celebrity kings and queens. What common grounds do the white bears of Siberia have with the young New York, wannabe-famous artist?

Ido Fluk (Israel,1980) is a filmmaker and video-artist living in Brooklyn. His work has been shown in galleries (Black Lab Seattle; Collective Unconscious New York; Micro-Museum Brooklyn, 291 London), worldwide festivals (Invideo in Milan, Italy; Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin; Darklights, Dublin Ireland, Videolisboa Portugal, Prog:me, Rio de Janeiro Brazil) and won such awards as the Warner Bros. Pictures film production award, The Israeli Council for the Arts travel and presentation grant, Adbusters ABTV award and the Jerusalem Film Festival's Young Director's award.

The Ontological Cowboy - Marie Losier      2005               10:00
“The theater is about sex.”  At least according to Richard Foreman, the father of the Ontological Hysterical Theater.  The Ontological Cowboy documents Foreman’s invocation of the “manifest destiny” of the avant-garde theater, King Cowboy Rufus strolling down off San Juan Hill with a sigh, waving his handkerchief.  Foreman plays himself, and the cast pantomimes his preoccupations.  If “the cast and crew suffer alike,” it’s all for a good cause: the violent rebirth of the American theater, with Foreman as its midwife.

Marie Losier is a filmmaker and curator working in New York City.  She was born in 1972 in Boulogne, France.  She has shown her films and videos at museums, galleries and festivals, including P.S.1, Tribeca Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Andrew Kreps Gallery, White Column Gallery, The Black Maria Film Festival, New York Underground Film Festival, Lake Placid Film Festival, Pleasure Dome (Toronto), Anthology Film Archives, Ocularis, British Film Institute, and many others.  In 2000, she became the film programmer at the French Institute / Alliance Francaise in New York City, where she presents a weekly film series.  She also programs experimental films at the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema and Ocularis in Brooklyn.  She has also performed in films by George Kuchar, Mike Kuchar, and Jackie Raynal, and in plays by Juliana Francis, and Tony Torn.  She is currently completing a short documentary on theater director Richard Foreman and working on a new one with Tony Conrad.

SPORTS: A 12 Part History - Robert Greene      2005              13:00
SPORTS is a 12 part "history" of the social-political role and influence that organized gaming has come to have in our culture. Mixing footage we shot of George W. Bush at the 2004 Army/Navy football game in Philadelphia, a demolition derby in Maryland just months after 9/11, wrestling in a small-town in Mexico, a Prospect Park contest between football players and birds, kids playing basketball before Sunday service in North Carolina, found footage, and TV coverage of the start of the current war in Iraq, SPORTS is an attempt to get at some truths about how political, perceptual, and personal realities have come to be shaped by the Big Game.

First Ladies - Natalie Frigo      2004-2005                   1:30
First Ladies utilizes news footage originally focused on Presidents of the United States, but turned to First Ladies. The constricted view of the camera is highlighted, with footage changed only by shifting the picture frame. The hegemonic narrative advanced by the media is transferred to form a new account of history. With the composition of the film altered slightly in one direction, First Ladies addresses unnoticed alternate histories once disregarded because of implicit cultural structures.

Natalie Frigo is a video artist residing in Brooklyn. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute. More recently Frigo was a finalist for the Whitney Independent Study Program, and has exhibited in galleries and at film festivals throughout the United States. She removes prominent historical figures from footage by cropping the films or “erasing” the figures frame-by-frame. When a figure from past footage is eliminated, such as JFK from the Zapruder film, the mediation of historical experience is uncovered.
November 22, 1963 - Natalie Frigo      2004               0:26

November 22, 1963, presents the Zapruder footage of the Kennedy assassination with JFK removed from each frame. Experience of this event was/is almost exclusively through television; interestingly, the original footage was corrupted before it was released to the public. Manipulation of the footage changes not only our experience, but the assassination-in-itself is forever altered. If this version were shown in place of the “orginal” footage, our memory of this date would be tied to Jacqueline’s ride in Dallas, not JFK’s assassination.

Usher Afraid Adele Might Break His Record

March 22, 2012 (9:16 am) GMT
The 'Yeah!' hitmaker says, 'I have told a few people not to go and buy Adele's album because I don't want her to go and break my record.'
Usher Afraid Adele Might Break His Record

has a confession to make. In an interview with Capital FM, the R&B singer says he fears who continues to gain steadily-strong sales number with her album "" might break his record. The 7.9 million mark he pulled in through his studio album "" was the biggest sales in a year, but the British pop sensation was close to surpass it last year.

"If I have to confess, I have to confess that I have told a few people not to go and buy Adele's album because I don't want her to go and break my record," Usher opens up before adding, "No actually, I love her. Unfortunately, she's the closest to breaking my record for the last ten years. So now guys, don't go and buy that album right now."

Regardless, Usher hopes to team up with the "Rolling in the Deep" hitmaker for a future project. "I think the world deserves an Usher and Adele record. That's what I think. That would be the other UK connection that I think everybody would be really fond of and enjoy," he gushes.

While the Adele duet hasn't come to fruition, Usher has snagged U.K. act for a collaboration. "We actually haven't finished this one but I'm working with Labrinth and that is my big surprise for London," the Grammy winner spills.

He continues, "Well you know me and we toured together here in London and it was my opportunity to get close to him and just listen to all the different things that he and Labrinth had been working on and listen to all the music that I know and admire that Labrinth did."
