2007-10-15 16:33 Silly stripes cardigan
Remember my Sensible Stripes Cardigan Which was the second attempt at a stripy cotton cover-up for summer Well, here, thanks to Lara 's prodding, is the first attempt, photographed in the same spot for comparison purposes. Not entirely unwearable, but definitely at the younger end of the wardrobe spectrum... It was made using the same top down raglan calculator as the other one, but I think I must have given myself more ease on this one. I also did not do any waist shaping, so it's rather more d …

2007-10-14 10:16 Tiny Grimes played in the jive group The Cats And The Fiddle...
... and was part of the classic Art Tatum Trio before he put together his own group in the late 1940s. Called The Rockin' Highlanders, the group featured Grimes' electric guitar playing as well as the tenor of Red Prysock. Tiny Grimes and his Rocking Highlanders "Volume 2" 1987 Highlights from Tiny Grimes' Gotham recordings (issued on Krazy Kat LP's 804, 817 and 821) are brought forth on this 14 track LP. Sadly the early Screamin' Jay Hawkins cuts are not included, but Gotham vocalists J.B. Summ …

2007-10-13 05:45 Washington wants to live and let live with Caracas
It is obvious that Manuel Rosales is desperate, to put it mildly. Meeting with an American State Department official was bad enough, but trying to pressure him to take action against his own country's leader was stupidity of the highest order. Such calls only play into the Venezuelan government's hands, and it is interesting that the American response was to remind all and sundry that Venezuela's political debates are a matter for Venezuela. Furthermore, the Venezuelan Ambassador to the United N …

Great article. Thanks Jeffrey and RhusLancia. From The Sunday Times October 7, 2007 Suicide bombers head to Iraq from Damascus by Hala Jaber and Ali Rifat IN a small flat in Damascus, a young man in jeans and T-shirt draws frequently on a Gauloises cigarette as he describes how he dressed his brother in a suicide belt and watched him blow up some American soldiers at a drinks stall in Iraq. The young man calls himself Ahmed. He is 23 and he has a degree in chemistry. He knows all about explosiv …

2007-09-30 23:17 FtF Commentary #4: Demons
Okay, here's the commentary for Further to Fly part four, Demons. Some of this I already had written, since I planned to get onto it fairly quickly when I finished the FtF 3 commentary back in *cough* August 2005. Moving on... Demons An obvious name, but also a song title to match the first three stories; it comes from a song by Easyworld (one of my favourite obscure bands), which I picked for the chorus lyric, "Give me all your demons; they don't scare me." Demons is the first story where we le …

2007-09-30 17:19 Sibling Assignment #39: Friday Afternoon Art
Silver Valley Girl gave this week's assignment. She asked us to write about something that happened before we went to college that contributed to being the teachers we are today. Raymond Pert's is here and Silver Valley Girl's is here. It am also using this for the Sunday Scribbling's word this week: Powerful. When I was at Sunnyside School in Kellogg during my elementary years the teachers were known for certain art projects that were done each year in their classrooms. I loved that I could pee …

2007-09-28 10:46 TIP OF THE WEEK: Hanging Out in the Trailer Park
Greetings, Moguls, and welcome to the latest Tip of the Week. Choosing the movies that comprise your slate is, as we all know, no easy task. Critics' reviews, performance during release in another country or at a film festival, and columns outlining industry tracking data all helpful in shaping your picks. Arguably, however, one of the best litmus tests to determine whether a film belongs on your slate is to watch its trailer (also called a "preview," or sometimes a "coming attraction") and deci …

2007-09-18 15:24 W is for Woods
whenever i need a little psychological boost, a visit to the woods usually provides renewal, insight and peace. the woods inspire awe and wonder. there is an awakening in feeling small amongst a set of towering trees, whilst also observing the vast natural landscape of things even smaller than myself: fungus, stones, birds, tiny animals, wildflowers, leaves and lichen. there is nothing like a walk in the woods to put you in your place, to shrink your ego and to provide you with enough solitude t …

Impressions of television as the season begins. Summer ends and a new year starts. School, Jewish holidays, football. Toronto's film festival launches a season of "quality" cinema that will culminate in late February with the Oscars. And the television networks offer a harvest of new shows, some hearty perennials familiar from many years past, and some new ones that might bear unfamiliar scents. Actually, most of the new programs will smell a lot like the old ones. Nothing succeeds like success …

2007-09-16 15:09 Drums and trumpets
In the first true cool of an evening in more months that I care to recall, I can hear them drumming. The sound comes and goes on the wind like a shortwave signal, sometimes blaring and other times distant and irregular. In spite of the slightest hint of coolness, I know it is fall not by any outward sign of nature but by sounds of football at Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park. It is such a reassuring sound. So much was lost in the flood: instruments, uniforms, the gladiatorial gear necessary to f …

Meanwhile, though, in our childish, PC wisdom (accepted across the political spectrum), we have let Islam off the hook when it comes to terrorism, sticking to the story that our whole problem is with a Tiny Band of Extremists That Hijacked Islam, not the jihadist teachings of Islam itself. To make the story stick, we also seem to ignore the impetus behind Islamic terrorism the imposition of Shariah, what with its ultimate institutional denigrations of non-Muslims and women, and its denial of fre …
