Sino-Japanese Art Education seminar was held on Dec. 22nd, 2009, in Room A301 of Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University. The Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, Tokyo Fine Arts University, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Kanazawa College of Art University, Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts, and Tokyo University of Fine Arts attended the meeting. Professors from these universities each gave a speech on art education.
They stressed the importance and feasibility to build an open art and design education system in the meeting. Some of them introduced their own cases of teaching experiments. College is a base for education, and also the environment where the arts grow. So, it is important to make reasonable arrangement for the course plan and assessment method. All the professors engaged in a fierce discussion on that. At last, they all agreed that the requirement—paper is a necessary condition for getting PhD—should not be abolished.
The seminar is important for the cooperation between China and Japan on art education. The Japanese expressed that we should act as soon as possible. In the end of the meeting, all the delegates agree to "Sino-Japanese cooperation Action Declaration on art education".

I can go either way with the holidays, but I do enjoy eating all the treats this time of year. I have a hugeeeee sweet tooth. I'm not a big cook, but I sometimes like to pretend I'm one of those chefs on Food Network whipping up delicious dishes 🙂 I love making desserts. It's fun finding new recipes. I thought I would share a couple, as folks prepare for the holidays next week. I haven't had time to try them out yet, but they sound yummy as hell! Bon appétit!!
Butterscotch Brownies –6 tablespoons shortening, 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking power, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, and 1 cup butterscotch bits.
Raspberry Buttermilk Pie–(Pie Crust) 1 1/4 cup all-purpose floor, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup water, plus 2 tablespoons. (Filling) 1/4 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh), 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, 3/4 cup white granulated sugar, 1 teaspoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 3/4 cup buttermilk.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Using a box grater, grate the cold butter atop the flour mixture. Working quickly, and using your hands, break the butter bits into the flour until they're evenly distributed and resemble the size of small peas. Add 1/4 cup of water and mix. The mixture will be shaggy at the point. From here, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the dough comes together. I ended up adding about 2 more tablespoons of water, equaling 1/4 cup water, plus 2 tablespoons. Flour your counter and dump the dough onto it. Knead the dough a few times until it comes together; form the dough into one solid disc. Wrap the disc with plastic wrap and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour or overnight.
Remove the disc of dough from the refrigerator. Liberally flour your work surface and rolling-pin. Begin to roll the dough, being sure to rotate it every so often to avoid sticking, to a 12 to 14-inch round. Wrap the dough around the rolling-pin and unroll it over the pie tin. Gently fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie tin. Trim the dough around the pie tin and using your thumb and forefinger, crimp the rim of the crust into a v-shape. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Transfer the pie crust to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. 3. Score the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork. Line the pie crust with foil or parchment paper and fill it with beans, rice, pennies or metal pie weights. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the lining and pie weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack until room temperature.
Meanwhile, let's make the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar and pinch of salt. Cook over medium low heat for 10-15 minutes, intermittently crushing the raspberries with the back of spoon, until the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour and lemon zest. Next, beat in one egg at a time, until the mixture is thick and thoroughly combined. Pour in the buttermilk and whisk until completely combined. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the par-baked pie crust. Using a teaspoon, drop small dollops of the raspberry mixture on top of the buttermilk mixture. Take a skewer and run it through the center of each raspberry mixture dollop, creating a pretty swirl design.

5 things you didn't know about (The Life and Rhymes of) Benjamin Zephaniah
One of Britain's favourite poets, Benjamin Zephaniah has just turned 60 and released his autobiography. With five quick-fire questions we find out what makes the professor of poetry tick. Find the full interview here.
Image by Richard Ecclestone.
What three words best describe you?
"Passionate. Compassionate. Curious."
What book changed your life?
"My book! It really did! But other than my own…The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey. Being a black man it's about black people and our place in the world. I don't believe in 100% of what's written but he believes in the United States of Africa, and that if when you come out of slavery you don't fix yourself up, you'll just go into another economic slavery. You can take away the chains but you're still not free. That's stayed with me and influenced my life: 'Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men'."
What album do you turn to in times of need?
"It depends on the need. I have a few I turn to. I know it's stereotypical but it has to be a Marley album. He was a singer but I always saw him as a poet. Bob Marley – Catch A Fire."
What food would you choose for your final meal?
"A big piece of vegan chocolate cake."
What was the last thing that made you cry?
"As I get older I seem to be crying a lot more easily. I see acts of kindness now and I cry. But the last thing to make me cry was an act of war. It was the fact that things that are made in Britain – and made in Birmingham – are killing innocent people in Yemen. And there's no outcry because of our relationship with Saudi Arabia. This is as bad as Saddam Hussein, it's as bad as anything. Our people have made those bombs."

We wanted to understand a few things."

The 10 Most Memorable Red Carpet Moments of 2010
Alright ladies, here they are: notice we didn't say "best" or "worst", just most "memorable" red carpet moments. So while some are undoubtedly wacky (hello there, meat dress!), there's also plenty that stuck in our minds for their sheer sartorial splendor, or the way they transformed our views of the celebs wearing them. Whether you love em or hate em, they're all are bold style choices, the type of dress you might love but your BFF hates, with no middle ground in between. So where do you stand on the ten of 2010?
Natalie Matthews
1) Let's just get it out of the way first: the meat dress happened; it was sort of a big deal; and it will undoubtedly nab a spot on the list all time list of craziest outfits, like Bjork's swan "dress" So it definitely deserves a spot on this year's most memorable list, though at this point, we're not sure there's that much else to say about it, now that even the cuts of meat Gaga wore have been analyzed down to the last detail. I don't even think we need to see the meat dress again, since it's seared (har har) into our collective memory, now do we?! So, moving on….
PARIS - OCTOBER 06: Alexa Chung attends the Miu Miu Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 show during Paris Fashion Week on October 6, 2010 in Paris, France. (Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)
2) Ahh, a different type of fashion risk-taker: Alexa Chung, whose everyday mixing of feminine pieces and menswear accents is totally head-turning but also totally wearable. While all of her outfits are pretty quintessentially "2010" (including the boy shorts look Jenny pointed out earlier this week) the conservative-yet-saucy dress she wore to Paris fashion week, combined with edgy studded Louboutin flats, stands out from all the rest.
HOLLYWOOD - MARCH 07: Actress Sandra Bullock arrives at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theatre on March 7, 2010 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by John Shearer/Getty Images)
3) Alright, dolls, this one's just for the all out glam factor, and we think most of you will agree: Sandra Bullock's' Oscar gown was one for the record books! Months later, an episode of the Rachel Zoe Project showed Rachel "dying" over this very gown before the Oscars, and dying even more sso when she couldn't get her hands on it for one of her actresses. We're sort of glad she couldn't— it's breathtaking on Sandy!
LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 31: Singer Rihanna arrives at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)
FilmMagic
4) Seeing the princess of peaked shoulders, studded accents, and military chic in a gown so feathery and bridal was almost, well, shocking in it's softness! Which made Rihanna's dress almost fierce, in a way— which might have been her point? Oh, Rihanna, you re always two steps ahead of me!
NEW YORK - MAY 03: Actress Sarah Jessica Parker attends the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2010 Costume Institute Ball at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 3, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/WireImage for Vogue)
5) Things may have changed a lot in the Sex and the City franchise (okay, I still haven't been happy since Aidan fell out of the picture) but thankfully, Sarah Jessica Parker's style prowess has stayed strong and stable throughout the years. The color is definitely a difficult one to pull off, but I'm love that. It's classic, never-boring SJP.
WESTWOOD, CA - JUNE 07: Actress Willow Smith arrives to premiere of Columbia Pictures' "The Karate Kid" after party held at Mann Village Theatre on June 7, 2010 in Westwood, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)
6) Even before the "Whip My Hair" music video was released, we started to notice yet another talented Smith family member: Willow, who rocked this getup to her brother's Karate Kid movie premiere. Combat boots, print mixing, and retro sunglasses all in one outfit? The girl may be half Rihanna's age, but we think Willow may be able to give her a run for her for her money in the style department come 2011.
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JANUARY 17: Actress January Jones arrives at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 17, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
7) Amazing how an accessory can really transform an outfit, right? (And no, we don't mean the umbrella). For me, January Jones' Golden Globes home run wasn't even about the gorgeous Lanvin dress— it was the headband. I know plenty of girls who weren't so into the look, but personally, I was rocking a ribbon around my head as a last minute outfit addition for months after seeing January pull off this accessorizing stunt.
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JANUARY 17: Actress Christina Hendricks arrives at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 17, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage)
8) The *Mad Men *actress, famous for her fuller-figure, dared to rock ruffles at the Golden Globes— and we think she looks amazing! Of course, Christina Hendricks looks incredible in conservative, tailored sheaths, too, but we really admire how much fun she seems to be having with this dress. Just look at that gorge, red lipsticked smile!
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JANUARY 17: Actress Diane Kruger arrives at the Warner Brothers/InStyle Golden Globes After Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 17, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)
9) If someone described this dress to me, I would probably just say "no". But Diane Kruger braved the hot pink Lacroix confection, and while I'm still not totally decided if it works or not, maybe that's the best part: like a lot of the outfits above, it's stuck in my head. And maybe that's the point of a truly great red carpet dress— t doesn't get lost in the shuffle, no many how many other crazy/beautiful/amazing outfits come down the red carpet that year.
10) Notice that I left the last slot on this most memorable list empty! Here's where *you *come in: what other lovely lady deserves to be on the most memorable red carpet list this year? Did your favorite trendsetter (or risk taker) pull off a particularly amazing stunt this year? When you think bank on the styles that have hit the red carpet this year, which one(s) will you remember? Gwynie's plunging Versace at the CMAs? Zoe Saldana's purple pom-pom Givenchy Oscar dress? The front-row crew at Chanel? Help us finishing out this list by adding your two cents in the comments below!

What Are Reggies And How Can You Spot Them?
Home » Guides » What Is Schwag Weed?
What is schwag weed, you ask? Hopefully you'll never find out.
Going on about how it couldn't even get an ant high. Maybe you made a note-to-self to avoid buying or smoking schwag. But would you recognize it if you saw it? This guide will tell you everything you need to know. Who knows, you may end up liking it. There's no accounting for taste.
Schwag has a meaning apart from weed lexicon, which you know if you've ever been handed out free stuff. In that case, schwag means the cheap, free stuff companies use for promotional purposes at fairs and conferences and such.
And that definition resonates with the meaning of schwag weed. As in, you can't give away enough of it.
So what is schwag weed? Just the lowest grade weed you can imagine. I mean, miserable stuff. Leafy, dry, brown, seed-ridden, and worst of all, weak. With schwag weed, THC levels drop perilously low.
Make sure you don't confuse schwag with shake. Shake just refers to whatever falls off of dried flower in the bottom of the bag. So shake is only as good as the weed it comes from. Schwag, on the other hand, is never good.
Let's describe schwag according to the five senses. Senses it leaves in utter disappointment.
You won't see any glittering trichomes on schwag weed.
It won't leave your fingertips sticky when you break it apart.
It'll smell like compost if it smells like anything at all.
And the taste will leave basically everything to be desired.
The sound? Just the coughing and groaning you'll hear after every hit of the stuff.
Where Does Dirt Weed Come From?
We're basically living in the golden age of cannabis. Despite federal prohibitions, eight states have legalized recreational weed and business is booming.
And so are things in R&D. Growers and cultivators are producing more and more potent strains of weed all the time. Because that's what consumers want: strong marijuana. And flavorful, fresh, attractive buds don't hurt.
The point is, no one needs to smoke schwag weed. There's plenty of affordable, good flower out there. So where does schwag come from?
Stereotypically—and that's because Mexico actually grows some awesome herb—"schwag" weed refers to cheap weed grown in Mexico and smuggled into the United States.
The journey isn't kind. Not that the weed was that kind, to begin with. But schwag weed is usually densely packed and overly dry. Chances are, it was cut too early or too late. It's very likely loaded with pesticide residue. And it's seedy, leafy nature only gets worse with time.
What Makes It So Terribly Bad?
Now that you know the basic answer to the question, what is schwag weed, it's time to dig a little deeper. In particular, with all the high-potency bud out there, what makes schwag so bad?
The answer is deceptively simple: money. The bottom line is profit. The desire to make a quick buck is what compels some growers to mass-produce low-quality herb.
When all you have to do is throw some seeds in the dirt and water them, you probably aren't putting lots of care into the rest of the process. Instead, you're cutting the crop early, hanging it in the sun to dry, roughly stripping off whatever is passable as toke-worthy, and tossing it in a trash compactor to brick.
But if you can grow it cheaply and quickly, sell it for a bit cheaper, and the demand exists, for some, all the time and effort may not be worth it.
Even if it sells for less per pound, it's possible to grow fields of dirt weed with minimal care. Tons of product without a lot of work? That can be a money-making formula, for sure.
Can You Grow Good Weed From Schwag Seeds?
If you're someone who likes to see the silver-lining in things, you might consider trying to grow your own weed with all the seeds that came with your bag of crappy weed.
This raises the perennial question of nature vs. nurture. Is schwag weed bad in the genetics, or is it just grown so neglectfully that it never lived up to its full potential?
Truly, there's only one way to know for sure. And it's conceivable that under ideal conditions, your homegrown seeds could produce significantly better weed than trash-compactor-grade stuff.
Final Hit: What Is Schwag Weed? And What Should You Do With It?
So now you know the answer to the question, what is schwag weed? But maybe you've got some on your hands and are wondering what to do with it.
There's only one real choice. Smoke it. And lots of it. By definition, you'll have to smoke significant amounts of it to get any kind of pleasurable effects. Then again, all that smoke inhalation could lead to headaches and a sore throat.
Despite all that, however, some avid cannabis consumers find they have a soft spot for the schwag.
They have their reasons. If you smoke a lot throughout the day, having a lower-intensity, much cheaper type of weed makes some financial sense. Then again, taking just a few hits off of some really strong flower might stretch your dollar just as far.
Other folks like the sociability of it. The process of de-seeding and rolling massive blunts and joints for a party does have its appeal. There does seem to be something uniquely low-key about low-quality herb.
Maybe it fits your niche, but if not, no worries. You're allowed to like the potent weed.

Innerconnection
by Ed Hazell
Trumpeter Ted Daniel's Energy Module was a short-lived band. They played exactly two gigs in the course of one week in the fall of 1975—and never played again. They gelled quickly as a quintet, however, in large part because everyone knew each other from working in Daniel's big band, Energy. However, the Energy Module was a less formal affair than the large ensemble, in which they played Daniel's original compositions and arrangements. "We had a couple of rehearsals and played through the tunes, but our main focus was on collective and individual improvisation," Daniel says. "We were getting ready to take care of business."
And they took care of business with a vengeance, as you can hear on this recording of their second and final performance. It's the sort of loose-knit, pull-out-all-the-stops blowing session that took place nightly on New York's Lower East Side in the 197os. But November 8, 1975, at Sunrise Studio was much more than an ordinary night in the lofts. Ted Daniel, Oliver Lake, Daniel Carter, Richard Pierce, and Tatsuya Nakamura stoked the cathartic fires of free jazz to a white-hot intensity and made it a special night indeed.
Daniel was born in 1943 and grew up just north of Manhattan, in Ossining, New York, where he and his older brother Richard, a pianist, were childhood friends with guitarist Sonny Sharrock. Their father, a talented amateur saxophonist who grew up in North Carolina with swing-era alto saxophonist Tab Smith, bought Ted his first trumpet when he was nine. By the time he was in high school, Daniel was smitten by jazz trumpeters, especially those with a big, warm sound such as Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan. "I actually heard a Clifford Brown record, Study in Brown, by accident when I was babysitting for my sister," Daniel told writer Clifford Allen in a 2007 All About Jazz interview. "I put it on because the guy had a trumpet on the cover. I was about thirteen at the time and I said 'Yeah! This is what I want to do, this is it!' I had never heard bop before. That's how I got started on getting into jazz."
There were few colleges offering jazz instruction in the late '5os and early '6os, but like many who wanted to learn more about the music, Daniel tried the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. His buddy Sharrock was there during the fall 1962 session, and Daniel made friends with other students, including pianist Dave Burrell and saxophonist Byard Lancaster. Daniel didn't click at all with his trumpet teacher—who simply did paperwork during his lesson instead of helping him learn the instrument—and decided not to continue at Berklee. But he stayed in Boston for about six months before entering Southern Illinois University in the summer of 1963. There he finally got the instruction he needed. "There was this man, the Brass Department head, Dr. Phillip Olson, he took the time and diagnosed me and he started me from scratch," Daniel says. "And I was cool with that. I didn't care; I just wanted someone to tell me how to do this thing. After a year, he turned me over to his graduate assistant, a brother named Fred Berry. A few years ago I found out he was a charter member of the AACM, although I didn't know it at the time!"
By 1965, Daniel's Berklee cohort—Sharrock, Burrell and Lancaster— had moved to New York and he left SIU for Manahattan, where he jammed with everyone from Archie Shepp to Elvin Jones at the legendary Bond St. loft of Burrell and Lancaster. But just as he was settling into the scene, Daniel received his draft notice and in early 1966 he shipped out for Vietnam. Daniel served in the 9th and 25th Division Infantry Bands based in the Mekong delta, which meant performing more guard duty than music. He didn't see combat, but he was near a battle zone and "there were some shaky moments," Daniel says. "Getting shot at is no fun.
"But I'll tell you, when I got back, I was a very angry young man," he continues, "because I knew before they drafted me and got me in there that it was bullshit. I was pissed off, because I'd been ripped off of my time. All my boys were making progress in the music and I was left behind. But you have to put your anger aside or at least find a way to deal with it so you can get through this life."
After he was discharged in '68, Daniel didn't feel ready for New York, so he joined his brother Richard at Central State in Ohio, where he studied with Makanda Ken Mclntrye. He returned briefly to New York in October1968 to play on Sonny Sharrock's debut album as a leader, Black Woman.
His next opportunity to record came the following year. He and his brother Richard co-led a soul-funk-jazz band, Brute Force. The band included saxophonist Stan Strickland, who later recorded with Marty Ehrlich's quartet, and drummer Syd Smart, who was a member of Sam Rivers' tuba trio with Joe Daley in the late '70s. One night at Central State, they were the opening act for Herbie Mann whose band at the time featured Sharrock. Mann liked what he heard and recorded Brute Force (with Sharrock as a guest) for his Embryo label in September1969.
Loft Years
By then, Daniel had moved to New York, where he would live for the next zo years. (He also completed his music education with a BA in music theory and composition from City College of New York.) In 1970, Daniel recorded his sextet in concert at Columbia University, and eventually released The Ted Daniel Sextet himself in 1972 on his label Ujamaa, which was among the first of the artist-owned imprints that proliferated in the 1970s. In 1974, he made his last foray into electrified jazz on Tapestry. Recorded at Ornette Coleman's Artists House with a band that included brother Richard on electric piano and Brute Force electric bassist Tim Ingles, the album was released on the French Sun label with the help of alto saxophonist Noah Howard. It would be his last album as a leader until he once again took matters into his own hands in 1997 and released In the Beginning, which featured a big band recorded at Studio We in 1975, on his own Altura Music label.
But if record companies failed to acknowledge Daniel, his peers definitely knew a major talent when they heard one. He was a member of Sunny Murray's ensembles, playing lofts like Studio Rivbea and Ali's Alley in the '7os, and in 1969 at the Newport Jazz Festival, for which Daniel had to borrow his father's car so they could get to the coastal Rhode Island town from New York. "Sunny had a very big impact on me. It was the first big gig, with a major player, that I had," Daniel says. "Playing with Sunny really opened me up to playing freely. That's how I learned how to play free. There was no one-two-three-four, you had to play on the energy he was putting out."
Tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman also called Daniel to join his band, and Daniel recorded Ear of the Behearer (1973) and Coincide (1974) for Impulse with him. In '73 he appeared on Sam Rivers' Impulse album, Crystals.
Undoubtedly, his most prominent sideman gig was with Andrew Cyrille's Maono. Between 1975 and 1983, Daniel was the only constant member of the various editions of the drummer's band, with which he made five albums. They met when he and Frank Lowe hired Cyrille to play in their quartet. "That was in the early '7os," Daniel said in his 2007 All About Jazz interview, "and from there Andrew began to call me and I worked with him quite a bit for a long time in Maono. We started off with Hilton Ruiz on piano (Donald Smith was on piano at one time), Jeanne Lee was singing with us, and I think we had one with Haitian drummers' Some other musicians that passed through were [saxophonists] David Ware and Joe Rigby, [bassist] Nick De Geronimo, and [pianist] Sonelius Smith, to name a few."
On his own, Daniel devoted much of his time to the quixotic task of keeping his big band together, rehearsing on Saturdays at Studio We and eventually playing Monday nights for eight months in 1977 and '78 at Rashied Ali's club, Ali's Alley. He led small ensembles irregularly in the lofts, whenever he could hustle up a gig. One of those lofts was Sunrise Studio, a second floor space at 122 Second Avenue that served as the home base of a nonprofit musicians' collective, Free Life Communication. One of Free Life's members, drummer Mike Mahaffey, lived there and booked the music. Daniel remembered Mahaffey from his time at Berklee, so he got in touch to see if he could play there. In late September 1975, he brought in his trio with Pierce and Nakamura and later released some of the music as The Loft Years, Vol. 1 on his revived Ujamaa label. When Daniel put together the quintet on this disc later in the fall of 1975, they played first at singer Joe Lee Wilson's Ladies Fort on November 1 and then returned to Sunrise a week later.
Recent Years
Daniel played less and less in the 198os and changed directions in his career. He recorded his last album with Cyrille, The Navigator, in 1982 and Rag, Bush and All with Henry Threadgill in 1989, the same year he received a Master of Social Work degree with a focus on clinical social work from Hunter Graduate School of Social Work. He then did three years of post-graduate work at the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training before starting a private practice in Ossining and New York City.
It wasn't until the 21st century that Daniel returned to music full time. He took part in Billy Bang's Vietnam Revisited projects in 2001 and 2004. In 2004, he put together the International Brass & Membrane Corps with Joe Daley on tuba, Charles Burnham on violin, and drummer Newman Taylor Baker. As of this writing, the band is still active. In 2006, he and reed player Michael Marcus formed a duo called Duology, releasing their first self-titled CD on Boxholder in 2006 and Golden Atoms on Soul Note in 2008.
"That was a very special time," Daniel says of the decade that produced this album. "The music was developing and we were all scuffling, trying to keep ourselves together and play the music. Cats were dedicated. They were serious about it."
You can hear just how serious they were on this remarkable disc. — Ed Hazell
Ted Daniel's Observations on the Music
"Jiblet" is a Sunny Murray composition that I used to play while in his band. The melody is a simple sing-song tune, something akin to a nursery rhyme. Tatsuya plays his quarter drums (which he designed) along with his regular trap set on the melody as well as supplying a backbeat that gives the reading a soulful feeling. The improvisation is an energetic collective effort with the three horns playing off each other's energy.
"Innerconnection" is by Dewey Redman and I played it often while in his band. The line is played in unison until the end, at which time the horns answer one another with a short phrase before repeating the unison line. We begin the improvisation with a collective effort and then take solos with the rhythm team. I lead off followed by Oliver. Solos are accompanied by horn players commenting at will as well as horn players utilizing percussion instruments behind the soloist. Daniel Carter's high wail behind my trumpet solo is particularly haunting and he is joined by Oliver at one point during the solo, which was inspiring. Oliver solos on soprano sax. As background, I play several long tones on French hunting horn. Danny takes the third solo on tenor and is pushed by my vocal incantations, French hunting horn, and Moroccan bugle (Khakhai). Oliver joins with low blasts from his alto as Danny continues to burn through his solo. Tatsuya and Pierce also burn right through to the end of Danny's solo and Oliver picks up his flute to cool things down a little before we find our way out with the closing unison line.
I composed "Probe" with the Apollo ii lunar landing in 1969 in mind. The melody is structured around a whole tone scale. Pierce has a pedal throughout and Tatsuya utilizes his tom-toms and mallets. Oliver leads off with a very expressive solo, sounding like the human voice at times. I enter playing some harmonics on the flugelhorn and utilize the whole tone scale, referring back to the melody often. I take the melody out after my solo, ending on a dissonant chord to leave the piece unresolved.
We start Albert Ayler's "Ghosts" with a collective improvisation in which I and the other horns introduce the melody intermittently and Tatsuya and Pierce supply the energy. The performance takes on the characteristic of what happens in some Black churches in the US. Danny Carter's tenor work is particularly inspired and inspiring on this track. Albert Ayler's music has always been an inspiration to me and I especially enjoy this composition.
Second Set
"Entering" is meant to be an intro to the two pieces that follow. Pierce starts off with a bass solo accompanied by the drums, after which Oliver enters on alto for an extended solo. Danny and I briefly join him before we all play Ornette Coleman's "Congeniality." I solo first with the two horns quoting and answering my statements throughout my solo. Danny has an extended second solo on tenor. Tatsuya employs his quarter drums throughout and Oliver alternates from cowbell to birdlike piccolo behind Danny. Trumpet and alto enter toward end of the tenor solo and bass and tenor end together to move into my composition, "Pagan Spain." I play an intro on trumpet with the Harmon mute and switch to open flugelhorn to play the melody and improvise with bass and percussion. I incorporate some harmonics to create tension and contrast during my solo. The composition ends with tenor and alto softly commenting in support of my rendering of the melody.

John Sharpe
Although 72-year old trumpeter Ted Daniel remains active on the scene -courtesy of his Duology partnership with clarinetist Michael Marcus, and his own International Brass and Membrane Corps -a significant part of his recent output has focused on archival recordings. As such, the first time release of the 2 CD Innerconnection from fall 1975 neatly fits with a succession of reissues comprising 1970's The Ted Daniel Sextet (Ujamaa Records, 2006), 1974's Tapestry (Porter Records, 2008) and 1975's The Loft Years (Ujamaa Records, 2009). It fills a gap too as his band here, going under the moniker Energy Module, has not left any other imprint.
The name proves entirely appropriate as the bickering polypholy of the front line horns of reedmen Oliver Lake and Daniel Carter alongside the trumpeter certainly quickens the pulse. But in spite of the mayhem there is still ample space in the 85-minute program for a series of powerful solos before they gradually become subsumed by the spirited affirmation and accompaniment which recalls Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz in its conversational give and take.
Daniel's bop-inspired runs corral insistent flutters, halfnote effects and fragmented fanfares into a compelling whole. On alto and soprano saxophones, Lake's familiar alternation between tart lines and outbursts of ferocious overblowing is already in place. Carter restricts himself to gritty tenor, playing with a muscular animation which contains less of the bluesy undertow now expected.
Daniel's rhythm section of drummer Tatsuya Nakamura and bassist Richard Pierce were at this point regular associates. Nakamura fuels the fires with roiling intensity. He connects strongly with the horns, his kick drum bombs goading Carter in particular into ever more energetic outpourings on a lengthy rendition of Dewey Redman's title track. Pierce can only be properly heard once the ensemble passages subside, but shows discipline and imagination on the floating "Probe."
The trumpeter's song selection pays homage to his peers and influences. Drummer Sunny Murray -a past employer -contributes the vibrant corkscrewing "Jiblet" while Albert Ayler's "Ghosts" emerges from a collective discourse in what proves a cathartic blowout. In an unbroken sequence on the second disc, Ornette's "Congeniality" is sandwiched between two of the leader's themes. Lake smears and splatters his way through "Entering" before Daniel takes over with perhaps his most forceful outing of the set on the Coleman tune. On "Pagan Spain" a Moorish tinge permeates his muted lyricism, before an expansive flugelhorn dialogue with bass and drums rounds off a session which is a noteworthy addition to the trumpeter's discography and fully deserves to be heard.
Cecil Manigault
Please get in touch with Ted for me, as my name is Cecil Hutcherson, a classmate of his. We last touched base in about 1990. I would so love to contact him or vice versa. Please help.

Meet the blind ultramarathoner who's running from Boston to New York before competing in the TCS New York City Marathon this Sunday. How's that for inspiration?
When I was given the opportunity to speak with Wheatcroft, I thought it'd be a conversation consisting of a sad story peppered with inspirational quotes—understandably so—but within a minute of the interview, I realized Wheatcroft does not view his life as a made-for-TV movie. He talked about his training as if he were talking about the weather; he has no idea how impressive he is, which just makes him more impressive.
Wheatcroft was born with a genetic degenerative eye condition, retinitis pigmentosa, and now at the age of 32 his vision has almost completely deteriorated, leaving him unable to see the road in front of him. But that hasn't stopped him from running on it. In fact, his loss of vision is what made him run in the first place.
Seven months after he started running, he was ready for his first race. As he was already running long distances at that point, he felt like a marathon wouldn't be enough of a challenge, so he signed up for an ultramarathon and completed 83 miles. No big deal.
OK, that makes sense, but how does he avoid injury and track his run if he can't watch where he's going? Wheatcroft uses the app RunKeeper, which reads aloud distance and pace information. When he first used the app to run one particular route, he noticed that he recognized the feel of each step, and with that he memorized his first run. Think about it: If you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, you can successfully walk there in the dark because you know your route that well. It was the same for Wheatcroft. However, becoming familiar with any route doesn't happen overnight and it took Wheatcroft a long time to memorize just three miles. Unfortunately, he does not have the time to memorize every course he wants to run, so for longer distances he relies on running guides.
While running does give him a sense of independence, it's not why he runs long-distance races. He likes the company. "How often do you get six or seven hours a day to just run and chat with new friends?" he said. Not often, Simon, not often at all. "I don't run to send one big inspiring message, I just want to meet lots of people and share moments in their lives," he expresses, humbly unaware of the impact he has on everyone he comes into contact with. It doesn't surprise us that he's chosen to also rely on the kindness of strangers to get some rest every night – come on, you didn't think he was running nine days straight, did you?! He's using Airbnb to secure housing in every town he's stopping in because he loves meeting locals and getting an insider experience in the towns he's running through. (Disclosure note: Airbnb facilitated the interview between the author of this piece and Simon Wheatcroft).

The glass mezzanine at Nica Tan's Earl's Court flat, designed by Viki Lander
Sophie Vening
9 April 2017 • 6:00am
With its open-plan living area and colourful storage solutions, Nica Tan's flat in Earl's Court, London, seems far larger than its 710 sq ft.
It is a bold piece of interior design, with a dramatic glass mezzanine level providing space for a bedroom with a dressing table and mirrored wardrobes, as well as an en-suite bathroom. Here, glass flooring provides a floating illusion, which makes the apartment more interesting and seemingly bigger.
But the property's main feature is the double-height kitchen-dining area with a rolling library-style ladder. "There was an incredible double void that wasn't being used," says Viki Lander, interior designer and creative director of Ensoul Interior Architecture. "So we decided to build a kitchen using the full height of the space, building in a mix of open and closed shelving – a fantastic way of providing more storage."
Tan's parents bought the flat for £930,000, spending a further £190,000 transforming the outdated and tired space into a modern masterpiece.
Lander tasked herself with coming up with as many space-saving solutions as possible
"The client bought the property primarily as an investment, but as their daughter is studying for a degree in digital marketing in London, it made smart economic sense to put her in the property, rather than paying rent," Lander says. "The property has been designed with their daughter in mind, but will also make a great rental in the future." According to estate agency Winkworths, the rental value could now be as profitable as £425 per week.
Lander tasked herself with coming up with as many space-saving solutions as possible for the apartment, from an L-shaped sofa bed with storage underneath to a desk built in under the mezzanine. She also managed to fit a full-height cloakroom behind the ground-floor toilet, with enough space for 80 pairs of shoes.
"The key to this project was that we haven't added masses of square footage, we just made every square inch valuable and beautiful."
Lander's approach is not unusual; Chris Romer-Lee at Studio Octopi also took the less-is-more route when he redesigned a mews property in Holland Park, London – even losing 65 sq ft of floor space in the process.
"The 1,250 sq ft house hadn't been touched for years," says Romer-Lee. "As you walked through the property it just got darker and darker."
The Dowdings' mews house in Holland Park, re-designed by Studio Octopi
Peter and Donna Dowding bought the property over 10 years ago, and rent it out for most of the year.
With UK rents expected to rise faster than house prices over the next five years, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the couple – who spend much of their time in Australia – decided to renovate in the hope of maximising their rental income after the project was completed.
The Dowdings were keen to introduce as much natural light into the home as possible. Romer-Lee's solution was to get rid of the box bedroom on the first floor, replacing it with a double-height void that overlooks a new ground-floor dining area. This has opened up the interior and flooded the space with natural light.
There are now two bedrooms upstairs, both en-suites, and the third bedroom has been moved to the ground floor in place of the garage. Sliding doors allow this room to be opened up or partitioned off depending on its use.
"Our work is very simple, we try not to overcomplicate a design," says Romer-Lee. "The simplest gestures often reap the biggest rewards."

If it's this type of bespoke, cunning solution you're after, look to Austen House in Winchester – winner of the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Awards for best extension – for inspiration. The home was bought by retired couple John and Judith Cooper because of its brilliant location close to shops, local amenities and the train station. Soon after moving in, however, they realised that the house was too dark, too cold and too small.
"We wanted to add a modern general purpose room, with natural light for year-round use," says John, who hired architect Adam Knibb. With no opportunity to extend into the roof or at the back of the property, Knibb's solution was to build a raised extension to the side of the home on galvanised steel legs, above the adjacent access way that leads to a commercial building.
The 215 sq ft floating timber box is connected to the main house via glass slot windows and clad in vertical timber boards to elongate the extension and provide a greater sense of space.
Designing innovative plans for small spaces is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. "We're really busy working with clients looking to maximise their existing space," says Knibb. "They genuinely like their house and its location, whether it's because they've built up a strong network of friends and family in the area, or they're not interested in the added stress and upheaval associated with buying a new home."
Architect Amos Goldreich agrees. "We're seeing more and more people who are up for the challenge of making the most of their own properties," he says, giving the example of one of his most recent projects in Primrose Hill, London.
The brief, from owners John and Fern Armytage, was to "completely transform the apartment and create a second bathroom" from the 646 sq ft, two-bedroom flat, Goldreich says.

The kitchen was moved to where the bathroom used to be and is now part of the living area; what used to be the kitchen has been merged with the former single bedroom to create a bigger room with more windows.
This allowed for the bathroom to be moved and a new guest toilet to be built. The new bathroom is now adjacent to the single bedroom with a slot window in the wall allowing natural light to enter from the bedroom.
Where possible, built-in furniture has been added to make the most of every inch of available space. "It feels like it's been dragged into the 21st century," says John. "It's a much more splendid-looking establishment – everything is so much more light, and we got our new WC."
A serious renovation or extension project is not always the simpler or cheaper version of packing up and moving house. If the thought of a major redesign seems too daunting, don't be dismayed. Goldreich stresses that you don't have to take on an expensive building project to transform a compact space.
"Sometimes you only need to do a small gesture or small change and the effect can be immense," he says. "Using light colours on surfaces can help bounce light around a room, or simply laying flooring in a long, narrow room along the length of the space can create the illusion of a bigger floor area."
Today's property prices and hefty stamp duty fees make it sound more appealing than ever: don't move – improve.

BuzzFeed to cut workforce by 12%
Reuters | Posted: Dec. 6, 2022, 12:20 p.m. | Updated: Dec. 6, 2022, 2:31 p.m. | 1 Min Read
(Reuters) -BuzzFeed Inc will cut about 12% of its workforce to rein in costs, the online media company said on Tuesday, as it joins a growing number of U.S. firms that have taken similar measures in anticipation of a potential economic downturn.
As of Dec. 31, BuzzFeed had 1,522 employees across six countries, according to a regulatory filing.
"Our revenues are being impacted by a combination of worsening macroeconomic conditions, and the ongoing audience shift to vertical video, which is still developing from a monetization standpoint," Chief Executive Officer Jonah Peretti said in a letter to affected employees.
"That requires us to lower our costs. Unfortunately, reducing our workforce is an essential part of cost cutting. Staff salaries are the single largest cost at the company."
Peretti said he expected the economic downturn to extend well into 2023.
Several technology companies, including Meta Platforms, Twitter Inc and Snap Inc, have cut jobs and scaled back hiring in recent months as higher interest rates, rising inflation and an energy crisis in Europe start to take a toll on the economy.

A place where new meets old and often called the Main Street of America, Route 66 is a uniquely American sort of highway.

The Interstate System has taken much of the traffic off old 66, but the culture and nostalgia are alive and well on the Mother Road. We offer license plates, theme pins, and much more to celebrate the legacy of this uniquely American highway.


Rachel Rubin Wolf has a slight bias when it comes to art, and she's not afraid to admit it. As the editor of the Strokes of Genius series, she sees numerous paintings and drawings, and must narrow them down to the best of the best. But when she was selecting art for Strokes of Genius 6, she says that she found herself making a special list of the most striking works by portrait artists, the results of which are now featured in Art Journey Portraits and Figures.
This somber charcoal portrait drawing below by Edgar Jerins is one of 100 artworks that made the cut. I immediately felt drawn into it, and after reading the story of the individuals that Jerins has portrayed, I understand why it feels so personal. These aren't just random subjects; they're family, and you can sense the narrative that's being told.
I thank this portrait artist, and the 99 others featured in Art Journey Portraits and Figures (get your copy here) for sharing their art, their stories and their techniques in this moving collection.

Sydney Metro could include Green Square Station
Posted: January 12, 2016 in Transport
Tags: Sydney Metro, Sydney Metro City & Southwest, Trains
A station at either McEvoy St or Green Square could form part of the new Sydney Metro railway currently under construction according to NSW Government plans. These plans show a range of potential alignment options considered for the line between Central Station and Sydenham, ranging from a Western alignment through Sydney University and Newtown through to an Eastern alignment through Waterloo and Green Square. The Government recently decided that the line should pass through Waterloo, rejecting the Sydney University option. However, these plans pre-date that decision.
Sydney Metro station and alignment options. Click to enlarge. (Source: Chatswood to Sydenham State Significant Infrastructure Application Report, page 51)
Maps of the potential alignments show that a line through Waterloo could go directly to Sydenham, but could also potentially continue South to include an additional station either McEvoy St in Alexandria or Green Square where an existing Airport Line station is located. A station at Green Square could allow for easy transfers between the two lines outside of the congested CBD. These stations have not been mentioned previously by the Government when discussing either the Sydney University or Waterloo options.
The Sydney Metro consists of two stages. Stage one comprises the former North West Rail Link from Rouse Hill to Epping together with the Epping to Chatswood Rail Link, which is scheduled to open in 2019. Stage two consists of a new tunnel from Chatswood to Sydenham together with the conversion of the Bankstown Line from Sydenham to Bankstown, which is set to begin construction next year and open in 2024. The line will operate with driverless single deck trains with limited seating on a frequent turn up and go style timetable.
Why am I not surprised to see that when NSW transport planners and politicians are presented with a range of options, they choose the most bonkers?
Razorbackbob says:
The Sydney Metro should go through Redfern on the existing corridor. Another metro line, the Olympic Park Metro should include stations at Annandale, Camperdown, Uni of Sydney, Redfern, Redfern Oval. Whatever is built should be part of a holistic, 100-year transport plan. Building isolated and unintegrated projects without knowing the overall NSW plan has never worked and never will.
Agree with RB here. Add that the The Sydney Metro via Waterloo now needs 2 more stations at Alexandria and St Peters to provide for the urban growth in this area and connect to the bus transfers. Finally, the current Metro EIS makes no reference to Westconnex (60,000 cars on Euston road Alexandria) and the Metro – running underneath it.
These being the 2 biggest $ cost transport projects in the State's history ….

1950sSCIENCE FICTION THEATER Segments From A COLOR Episode From 1955!
From a show that was originally broadcast on April 16, 1955, here are the opening and closing segments of a Science Fiction Theater episode, called "Time is Just a Place," IN COLOR! Not only is this episode about time travel, but it stars one of my favorite character actors, Warren Stevens, who also appeared in "Forbidden Planet" and a Star Trek TOS episode "By Any Other Name." Also in this particular episode is Don DeFore, who starred in the TV sitcom "Hazel." This episode is VERY typical of 1950s TV, where they gave you the title of the episode at the beginning AND after the commercial break at :15 minutes into the episode!

2000sRemembering Joey Bishop Who Passed Today At 89
LOS ANGELES - Joey Bishop, the stone-faced comedian who found success in nightclubs, television and movies but became most famous as a member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack, has died at 89. He was the group's last surviving member. Peter Lawford died in 1984, Sammy Davis Jr. in 1990, Dean Martin in 1995, and Sinatra in 1998. Bishop died Wednesday night of multiple causes at his home in Newport Beach, publicist and longtime friend Warren Cowan said Thursday.

1960sWas Dorothy Kilgallen Murdered
Here's one for you conspiracy theorists to ponder: Was newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen murdered? Famous for her role as a permanent panelist on the CBS show What's My Line? and for her Voice of Broadway entertainment/gossip column in the New York Journal American, Kilgallen often covered major news events--especially murder trials. She reported on the Sam Sheppard murder trial and the Lindbergh kidnapping case, among others. She also expressed serious doubts about the Warren Commission's investigation of JFK's murder. Kilgallen interviewed Jack Ruby in prison shortly before her death on November 8, 1965. Just hours after she had appeared live and quite chipper on What's My Line? from 10:30 to 11 p.m., the 52-year-old Kilgallen was found dead in her Manhattan home, fully clothed, sitting up on a bed in which she did not sleep still wearing the makeup and false eyelashes she had on the previous night. (Dorothy always removed her false eyelashes before retiring for the night.) A book she had finished reading months ago was on her bed. She needed glasses to read but her spectacles were nowhere near her. Although alcohol and barbiturates were found in her blood stream and a mysterious pink liquid in her stomach, Kilgallen's official cause of death was listed as undetermined. At least three different people in the household claim to have been the first to discover Dorothy dead on the bed: Her secretary, her hairdresser, and her maid. Reports of the time when Dorothy's body was discovered vary wildly--anywhere from about 10:30 a.m. to about 3 p.m. The coroner who did the paperwork was responsible for autopsies in Brooklyn--not Manhattan. Kilgallen's notes from her interview with Jack Ruby were never found--leading conspiracy theorists to wonder whether she had been silenced.

1960sWarren Commission
On November 29, 1963, President Lyndon Johnson appointed a commission under the leadership of Judge Earl Warren to investigate the November 22, 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas. This photograph was taken on September 27, 1964, the day the Warren Commission presented Johnson with its 26-volume report. Known as the Warren Report, it concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from the Texas School Book Depository and was the sole assassin. The accuracy of the report has been questioned since that day.

1930s & Earlier1933 Adolf Hitler Baby Photo Hoax
In 1933, this supposed baby picture of Adolf Hitler circulated in newspapers in England and the United States. When it appeared in the Chicago Tribune in October 1933, the German consulate in that city denounced the photo as a hoax and provided a real baby photo of Hitler (which I posted on this website a little while ago). The hoax photo came from the London Bureau of Acme Newsphotos and originated from an unknown source in Austria. In 1938, Mrs. Harriet Downs of Lakewood, Ohio saw the photo in a magazine and recognized it as a doctored version of a photo of her two-year-old son, John May Warren, taken in 1932! The photo had been deliberately altered to make the child look sinister. How a baby photo from Ohio ended up in the hands of a hoaxer in Austria has never been discovered. Tragically, the boy in this photo died a few months later, at the age of eight, in a bicycle mishap.

1960sMagic Bullet Theory Debunked
In its investigation of John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination, the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. However, if you believe the Commission's findings, you have to believe Oswald, by himself, fired three shots from the Texas Schoolbook Depository in less than six seconds. The first shot missed, hitting a curbstone. The final shot was the fatal shot to Kennedy's head. The second shot must be a 'magic bullet' that caused multiple wounds to both JFK and Texas Governor John Connally. This report, from the A and E series Time Machine, debunks the ridiculous 'magic bullet' theory.

MidAmerican Energy is planning to build the tallest land-based wind turbine in the country in Iowa.
According to todesmoinesregister.com, the Des Moines-based power company will get the added height by building the wind turbine tower from concrete instead of steel, a first for the company. The extra 100-plus feet enables the turbine to capture more wind energy, the utility said.
"Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the greater the wind resource available," said Mike Gehringer, MidAmerican's vice president of renewable energy.


Cadie is always on the move. Even when she was just a few months old, she was - as my Nana would say - "just so busy!" One of her teachers said today that she wouldn't stop crawling even though her eyes were closing. That's our girl - pressing on even though she can't stay awake.
Anyway, she's really fun these days. I took these pictures last weekend.
She's playing with empty cardboard boxes and a plastic sour cream tub. She loved the noises they made on the tile kitchen floor.
Precious pictures! Nana and I cannot wait til the end of the month when she get to see her in action.
What fun days!! Love those little playful times. She is a "Doll"!!
Oh my, look at that cutie go!


The other "food group" that is often eliminated by conventional wisdom is FAT. Many people severely reduce their fat and if they do get any fat, it's primarily Omega 6 with little or no Omega 3 fat. Some vegans try to eliminate all fat except that which cannot be eliminated from foods like grains. Essential fatty acids are called "essential" for a reason–we must get them from dietary sources. Without fat, fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are not easily available from diet alone.
Vegans who eliminate all sources of animal food are left with Vitamin B deficiencies as well. Yet I never see vegans criticized for "cutting out a food group" (or two). People are afraid to criticize what they erroneously believe is "healthier than thou".
All of the nutrients and fiber in grains and cereals are available through a varied Paleo diet, but you can't say the same for a diet devoid of animal sources and natural fats.
Indeed our ancestors and hunter gatherers do and did suffer from nutrient deficiencies, like any other animal who doesn't consume dairy product in its adulthood.
Aside from the evolutionary evidence, which is already very thought provoking, we have epidemiological evidence that populations who rely on grains and dairy as staple do suffer from poor overall health and ironically poor bone health. Dutch and northern Europe populations are the tallest in the world, due to the continuous pumping of IGF1 from dairy but they have very weak bones despite their lenght. Also studies pointed out in dr.Cordain's books and posts enlight the issues about dairy, and we can say that we are much better off without them, especially the rubbish milk from dairy industry is far more harmful than the one produced by Masai's cows.
