The primary motivation behind this three-story addition and whole-house remodel was a desire to comfortably "age in place." Our clients felt very rooted to their location; however, they worried about the accessibility of their three-story home. One of their biggest concerns regarding safety and comfort was their master bathroom. It was small, out of date, and didn't suit their current needs, let alone meet their future requirements.
The solution was a three-story residential elevator, and as it turns out, the best location opens into a beautiful new master bath with a walk-in shower and separate Jacuzzi tub. It's a little unconventional, but our clients love it and it precisely suits their needs. The formerly cramped master bathroom was transformed into the elevator shaft, and the added space from the addition provided space for everything they needed in a new master bathroom.
"Aging in place" has become a major motivation for residential remodeling. Homeowners don't want to be forced to move as they look toward the future, but may not have everything they need to be comfortable in their home, especially if isn't a recent build. For this bathroom, we chose a walk-in shower, which means there is little to no change in elevation from the tile floor to the shower interior. We also incorporated a bench and grab bars into the shower itself, with the showerheads on either side giving the option to either sit or stand comfortably. There are also grab bars on the sides of the Jacuzzi tub, allowing more leverage getting in and out and reducing the chance of falling. Other small details, such as the heated tile floor, increase the overall comfort level for our clients.


Home / Credit Repair Blog / How much money should you save in case of an emergency?
00:00 All right guys. Credit question of the day. And we'll actually make this a finance question of the day, is coming from [Sherry Lynn White 00:00:06]. Sherry Lynn thank you so much for posting your question on our Facebook page and the question is: How much money should you save in case of an emergency? Well, let's think about this. In 2008, I would have said a year's worth. Why? Because when people lost jobs in 2008, it took a lot longer to get a job. Now, the economy is a little stronger, if you're going to apply for another job, it might be a shorter time frame. So, I would say the minimum should be six months. Okay. You want to look at all of your monthly expenses, you should be able to jot this down on a small piece of paper, even a napkin. Jot down those expenses, times six, that's what you want to have in the bank. Now, if you're getting out of debt, I would suggest actually putting that to the side. Okay. The debt's probably costing you 20 plus percent, get a $1,000 in the bank, just in case of an emergency, something breaks down, you got a car issue, you need to rent a car, something happens. Okay. And attack the debt, don't worry about your reserve.
01:03 SO the order is, put a thousand bucks in the bank, pay off the debt, and then move to get six months reserves. And once you're done with the six months reserves, then you want to start investing in putting money into retirement. Thanks, guys. Have a great day.

I am incredibly lazy about soup. It's not a difficult dish to make, but I often end up obsessing about the nuances. It's not just a hot bowl of liquid, but flavors that need to be tweaked and balanced. With my obsessive need for perfection in soup, borne from a lifetime of my mother's perfect broths, I've given up.
Last week, I arrived home from a fabulously fun dinner and my throat felt a little scratchy. I chalked it up to too much wine and too little water and went to bed. The next day, the sore throat was worse, along with some heavy congestion. That was last Tuesday. Today, I'm still fighting the last dregs of the cold, which yo-yo'd from bedridden to 95% and back.
At least, it's not like last year's plague.


A new Chevrolet sedan have officially made debut in China. Interestingly, sedan in US is more of an endangered species. Dubbed as Chevrolet Onix, it was showcased to the people of China. 2019 Chevrolet Onix is the first of new Chevrolet and Buick B- and C-segment vehicles to use GEM platform. This is a huge step for General Motors considering that nameplate is now being translated from being South American made vehicle to a brand that sells across 40 countries worldwide. The list excludes United States and Canada.
Until now, Onix nameplate was used for five-door hatchback in South America, but 2019 Chevrolet Onix is offered as four-door sedan. Four-door hatchback is called Prisma. Size of 2019 Chevrolet Onix is placed between Sail and Cavalier. The debut model is 2019 Chevrolet Onix Redline. This becomes sixth local product after Equinox, Cruze, Orlando, Malibu XL, and Monza. It adopts latest design and features a dual-grille design, new headlamps and new LED DRLs/fog lamps at the front. Redline trim offers black 16-inch alloys as standard, black badging, and red accents on the grille, mirror caps and wheels.
Powertrain details has not been disclosed but GM Authority claims that it will come with two new three-cylinder gasoline engines in China. Entry level is naturally aspirated 1.3-liter with 102 hp (103 PS) and a turbocharged 1.0-liter rated at 114 hp. Apart from 2019 Chevrolet Onix, pricing details of new Monza sedan has been revealed. It will be available in five grades with price range between RMB89,900 and RMB119,900.

Pro-life activists to protest CVS and Walgreens over plans to dispense abortion pill
By Nancy Flanders | January 10, 2023 , 06:37pm
The pro-life group, Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), has announced nationwide protests and a boycott campaign against CVS and Walgreens following the announcement that the pharmacy chains plan to begin dispensing the abortion pill regimen.
Protests will take place on February 4 in eight U.S. cities including Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Detroit, Austin, and Atlanta. More cities will be announced in the upcoming days, according to the group.
"These coordinated protests are prompted by the FDA's recent deregulation of the abortion pill allowing retail pharmacies to carry and sell the abortion pill (mifepristone). CVS and Walgreens have publicly announced they're seeking certification. In addition to these nationwide protests, PAAU is also calling for a unified boycott of these two businesses," the group said in a press release.
PAAU founder and executive director Terrisa Bukovinac said that in addition to profiting financially from the deaths of defenseless humans, Walgreens and CVS will be aiding in the normalization of the willful killing of preborn human beings.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced earlier this month that retail pharmacies can begin dispensing abortion pills despite the known risks to women and the high rate of incomplete abortion associated with the abortion pill regimen. Just days later, Reuters reported that both Walgreens Boot Alliance Inc and CVS Health Corp would be participating in chemical abortions.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said in a press release that the abortion pill regimen is not as harmless as the abortion industry often claims it to be:
Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that women are at risk of severe side effects after taking chemical abortion pills, including hemorrhaging, the need for follow-up surgery, and even death. Studies have found that chemical abortion has four times the complication rate of surgical abortion, and these risks only increase with advanced pregnancy and lack of medical supervision. Peer-reviewed research from Charlotte Lozier Institute has also found that after a chemical abortion there is a 53% greater risk for an ER visit for abortion complications than after a surgical abortion.
The abortion pill, according to the FDA, is associated with 28 deaths* of women and has caused the deaths of 5.6 million preborn children since it was first approved in 2000.
"The FDA's complete disregard for the health and safety of pregnant people in favor of growing the power of the Abortion Industrial Complex is abhorrent," said PR director for PAAU Caroline Taylor Smith. "Since 2000, the Abortion pill has caused more than 28 deaths and is 4 times more likely to result in an ER visit than a surgical abortion. The anti-abortion movement must amass our people power against this reckless, money-hungry, and anti-woman crusade."
*THE FDA HAS RECEIVED REPORTS OF SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS IN PATIENTS WHO TOOK MIFEPRISTONE. AS OF JUNE 30, 2022, THERE WERE 28 REPORTS OF DEATHS IN PATIENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MIFEPRISTONE SINCE THE PRODUCT WAS APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER 2000, INCLUDING TWO CASES OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCY (A PREGNANCY LOCATED OUTSIDE THE WOMB, SUCH AS IN THE FALLOPIAN TUBES) RESULTING IN DEATH; AND SEVERAL FATAL CASES OF SEVERE SYSTEMIC INFECTION (ALSO CALLED SEPSIS). THE ADVERSE EVENTS CANNOT WITH CERTAINTY BE CAUSALLY ATTRIBUTED TO MIFEPRISTONE BECAUSE OF CONCURRENT USE OF OTHER DRUGS, OTHER MEDICAL OR SURGICAL TREATMENTS, CO-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS, AND INFORMATION GAPS ABOUT PATIENT HEALTH STATUS AND CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE PATIENT. A SUMMARY REPORT OF ADVERSE EVENTS THAT REFLECTS DATA THROUGH JUNE 30, 2022, IS HERE. THE FDA HAS REVIEWED THIS INFORMATION AND DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY NEW SAFETY SIGNALS. THE FDA INTENDS TO UPDATE THIS SUMMARY REPORT AS APPROPRIATE.

When food prices increase, it can be difficult to resist the $1 burger deals that many fast food restaurants offer. Buying fast food every once in a while probably won't hurt you and your family, but you should not make it a steady diet. It may take a little more time to make a meal rather than grabbing the cheap deals right in front of you, but you can learn to stretch your food dollars and still eat healthily.
Stop buying processed foods and junk foods with little nutritional value. You don't need to spend your money on sodas, packaged cookies and crackers, processed foods or prepackaged meals. You can completely cut these types of foods from your budget. Make a list before you grocery shop, and stick to it. Shop the perimeter of the store first — where the fruits, vegetables and meats are. You do need staples. Keep certain items, such as peanut butter, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, flour, sugar and rice, in your pantry.
Besides the grocery store, shop at warehouse clubs where you can get bargains. Typically, you purchase food in large quantities at warehouse stores, so only purchase food there if you have a place to freeze the extra and know that you will eat all the produce you buy. Determine whether your town or city has a farmer's market. You can sometimes get a better deal there, especially if you go toward the end of the day when the farmers are more likely to lower their prices. Check into ethnic markets, too, for better prices on fruits and vegetables.
Your family needs protein to be healthy. Protein in the form of meats, however, can be expensive. Get around this by buying less-expensive cuts and making soups, stir-fries, casseroles or stews. Not only do you save on the cut of meat this way, you stretch what you buy by adding ingredients to the meal, such as beans, whole grains and vegetables. Beans by themselves are a good source of protein. Save even more money by buying dried beans and lentils in bulk.
Buy produce in season. Buy apples, oranges, potatoes and onions and anything else you can in bags instead of individually. You can also buy frozen vegetables, which are just as nutritious as fresh, to use in soups and stews. Some of the cheapest foods that are also healthy are oatmeal, eggs, potatoes, apples, chickpeas, bananas, broccoli, beets, whole-grain pasta and spinach.
When you make your casserole, stir-fry, soup or stew, cook double the portion your family will eat. Freeze half. On the night when you are too busy or don't feel like cooking, defrost that half to serve. This saves you money from ordering pizza or Chinese food. Also, when you do have leftovers, eat them rather than pushing them to the back of the refrigerator, where they stay until you throw them out. Use your leftovers the next day for lunch or turn them into a new dinner the next night. One easy recipe called "Anything Rice" from the Epicurious website, uses whatever you have left over, such as chicken, bacon, pork chops, shrimp or hamburger. Cook 2 cups of rice. Heat oil in a skillet and add some chopped onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for three minutes. Add two eggs and stir. Add the rice and your leftovers. Heat through and serve.

Brennan reveals the reasons he stuck with Wealdstone over Barnet
Published: 3:44 PM December 22, 2020 Updated: 9:59 PM December 22, 2020

Wealdstone manager Dean Brennan has revealed his reasons for staying at the club despite talks with Barnet about their recent vacancy.
The Bees made an approach for Wealdstone's Dean Brennan following the sacking of Peter Beadle but have since moved to appoint Tim Flowers as their new manager.
Discussions took place over the then vacant managerial post but the Stones boss opted to stay in his current position due to the club taking a chance of him and the loyalty his players have shown him.
"Barnet were very professional with their approach, they approached our football club, and a bid was accepted that met my release clause and allowed me to speak to Barnet," Brennan admitted.
"I had a chat with them, but I just felt the players that I've brought in they've come to the football club for me, and the loyalty they've shown me has been brilliant.
"Some of the lads could have left in the summer for much more money than what they're on at our club and they've stayed because I convinced them to stay.
"My contract is up in May and a lot of our players signed contracts up until that period of time as well. I'm committing to the players and especially to the supporters who have been unbelievable to me.
"I know football is very fickle game, if you lose game of football supporters are after you, but if you're winning them then they love you.
"We've won the majority of games since we've been here and we've been very successful, I just felt it was important, especially as when I was out of work Wealdstone gave me a chance and loyalty is a big thing for me."
He added: "Even though it was tempting I can't lie, it was full-time, and the facilities they've got at Barnet ticks a lot of boxes but at this moment in time in my life I just felt it was the right thing to do."
Wealdstone's fitness and conditioning coach Gary Anderson has however departed to join rivals Barnet.

In this lively, recorded conversation with [itvt] Editor-in-Chief, Tracy Swedlow, Sheffield and Oh discuss the origins, business strategies and political philosophies of their respective services; their plans for expansion (including incorporation into skinny bundles and partnerships with pay-TV networks); how they are attracting Millennial and Gen-Z audiences in an era when the audience for network and cable news is increasingly graying; which social-media and social-video platforms (including, of course, YouTube) their services have made use of and which have proven most--and least--effective; and much, much more.

Home - Car News - Niti Aayog Says Only EVs To Be Sold After 2030 In India
Niti Aayog Says Only EVs To Be Sold After 2030 In India
by Swati Sanchayi on Friday, Jun 21 2019
The government thinks tank NITI Aayog has set a new target pertaining to EVs. According to the latest reports, NITI Aayog has proposed that only electric vehicles should be sold after 2030. In order to increase the usage of clean-fuel technology and to expand the scope of EVs beyond two-wheelers and three-wheelers, this step is being taken. Earlier, a panel headed by NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant had suggested that only EV (three-wheelers and two-wheelers) with an engine capacity of up to 150 cc should be sold from 2025 onwards.
According to Niti Aayog, about 100 percent electric vehicle sales by 2030 may reduce India's import dependence by a big margin because transport remains the most demanding sector for oil. NITI Aayog and Rocky Mountain Institute, the USA in a joint study suggests that India can save 64% of anticipated road-based mobility-related energy demand and 37% of carbon emissions in 2030 by pursuing a shared, electric, and connected mobility future. This would result in a reduction of 156 Mtoe in Diesel and Petrol consumption for that year and a net saving of roughly Rs. 3.9 Lakh Crore in 2030 at present oil prices.
Reports suggest Niti Aayog has moved a Cabinet note saying that the road transport and highways ministry have been proposed to prepare a framework to phase out the sale of diesel and petrol vehicles by 2030. Also, with an overhead electricity network to enable trucks and buses to operate as electric vehicles on select national highways, the ministry has also been asked to pilot an e-highways program. With the help of overhead electric cables in electric highways, trucks can operate as electric vehicles when on the electrified road and as regular hybrid vehicles at other times.
Though the Niti Aayog has suggested the highways ministry to identify stretches for electric-highways, according to Nitin Gadkari - Road Transport & Highways Minister, India could have such a stretch with some help from Sweden and the upcoming Delhi-Mumbai expressway will be the ideal e-highway. The proposal by NITI Aayog also suggests that Gadkari's ministry should issue some norms for cab aggregators to replace all diesel and petrol vehicles with EVs by 2030. Also, the heavy industries ministry would replace all diesel/ petrol vehicles with EVs of all central ministries, agencies and the public sector by 2030.
However, the barriers in wider adoption of electric vehicles lie in areas of consumer perception, efficiency of batteries, driving range, speed of EVs, charging time, creation of infrastructure for charging, battery recycling, and technology development, as the most important component- Li-Ion battery, is very expensive in the country due to no domestic manufacturing. Still, the cabinet thinks that delinking battery from vehicles through battery swapping could be a way forward, but it demands the creation of a smart infrastructure of swappable batteries with pay-per-use business models, an extensive swapping-station network, and integrated payment and tracking systems.
Also, the Aayog has proposed financial incentives for the investors including cash subsidy on the basis of overall domestic value addition per kilowatt hour (KWh) basis, in order to meet the target of setting up of the Giga-scale battery manufacturing. The estimated amount for the same is around Rs 8,000 crore and this subsidy will be given to the manufacturers after the actual sale, while the maximum cash subsidy would be for up to 20 GWh per firm and Rs 2,000 cash subsidy will be for one KWh only for 100% domestic value capture. Stay tuned to V3cars.com for further updates on the same.

Why Did Military Hide Malaysia Plane Radar Data 10 Days?
Tuesday, March 18, 2014 7:47
Thailand's military spokesperson admitted on Tuesday that its radar detected a plane that might have been Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 just minutes after the jetliner's communications were turned off, raising questions about countries withholding their defense information, even amidst humanitarian crises. At the time, Thailand's military was participating with the U.S. military in a training exercise in the region where the "MH370 and its passengers "disappeared."
Thailand's military said its radar detected a plane that might have been Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 minutes after the Boeing 777′s communications were turned off and that the detection was not in Northern Thailand.
It said it did not share the information with Malaysia earlier was because it wasn't specifically asked for it.
Thai air force spokesman Air Vice Marshal Montol Suchookorn described a twisting flight path that took the plane to the Strait of Malacca, which is where Malaysian radar tracked Flight 370 early March 8.
Montol said the Thai military doesn't know whether what it detected was the MH370.
Thailand's failure to quickly share possible information about fate of the plane and the 239 people aboard it, might not substantially change what Malaysian officials know. It does, however, "raise questions about the degree some countries are sharing their defense information, even in the name of an urgent and mind-bending aviation mystery," says ABC News.
One of those countries might be the United States and its military, according to mounting evidence that the missing Malaysian Plane is a US-backed false flag.
With only its own radar to try to help solve the mystery, it took Malaysia a week to confirm that Flight 370 had entered the Strait of Malacca, an important detail that led to changing the enitre search strategy.
Asked why it took so long to release the information, Montol responded, "Because we did not pay any attention to it.
"The Royal Thai Air Force only looks after any threats against our country, so anything that did not look like a threat to us, we simply look at it without taking actions."
Malaysia government officials say they did ask the Thai government for radar data and it refrained until asked a second time.
Not a normal signal, plane flew opposite to MH370
Thai military radar "was able to detect a signal, which was not a normal signal, of a plane flying in the direction opposite from the MH370 plane," back toward Kuala Lumpur.
The plane later turned right, toward Butterworth, a Malaysian city along the Strait of Malacca, according to the Thai military that also revealed that the radar signal was infrequent and did not include any data such as the flight number.
Thai Air Chief Marshal Prajin Juntong told reporters Tuesday that it was not the country's northern radar that detected the odd infrequent signal.
If the plane did land in or near Thailand, those in control of it had 10 days out of sight for their mission.

To say that the Malaysian government has been something less than forthcoming on much of what they know….and it doesn't surprise me at all…..

Thanks but hate to add to that perception. Please note: It was the Thai government, not Malaysian that withheld radar data.

The current Thai government isn't exactly known for humanitarian behavior.

They really needed to pick another country other then Malaysia to handle this 'false flag'. Watching those Malaysian officials wiggle and squirm in front of the International media is very awkward. The covert operative conspirators were very aware that these 20 high tech officials from Freescale Semiconductors were on board and either wanted them or wanted to get rid of them. The plane is presently being retro-fitted for it's next 'false flag flight' and will be re-surfacing soon because these 'clown' officials in Malaysia are like watching a bad dark comedy in action. The plane is sitting in a hangar in Diego Garcia getting it's next 'flight path' installed in it's hard drive. To Be Continued…

Beginning in 2011, Kitts engaged in various schemes to misappropriate her clients' assets in order to pay her personal expenses. In one scheme, she directed client assets to a bank account for Marquis Consulting, an entity she controlled. In another scheme, Kitts used her position as an investment adviser to divert her clients' funds to her own account and then took the funds for her own personal use. This included cashing her clients' annuities, transferring funds out of her clients' brokerage accounts and directing distributions from her clients' Individual Retirement Accounts. In total, Kitts misappropriated approximately $3,085,939 from her clients.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling and Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, made the announcement today. The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission provided valuable assistance with the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Miron Bloom of Lelling's Securities and Financial Fraud Unit prosecuted case.

Rock'n'Roll, the kind they don't make anymore, old R&B, hillbilly, gospel, greasy vocal groups, scratchy 45's and 78's.
These clips come from a local Texas TV show called The Beat, I mean The !!!! Beat, which was hosted by the legendary WLAC (Nashville) disc jockey Bill "Hoss" Allen, and the house band was Gatemouth Brown and his band. I believe the year is 1966. I love everything about these clips, from Freddie's shiny sharkskin suit (slightly too tight), to the big, greasy, conk on top his head. Notice that he didn't use a pick, his thumb looks gigantic on the strings. Freddie King (born Freddie Christian on September 30, 1934 in Glimer, Texas, one of the many dates that Wikipedia gets wrong) started out playing drums, working with Smokey Smothers, John and Grace Brim and Jimmy Reed. He switched to guitar after cutting his first disc for the El Bee label in 1956 and became a fairly big star riding high on a string of instrumental hits on the Federal label– Hideaway (1960), San-Ho-Zay (1961), The Stumble ('61), etc. He later recorded for Atlantic's Cotillion subsidiary and then Leon Russell's Shelter Records where he recorded with Eric Clapton (who recorded King's Hideaway while in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers). He died of a heart attack in 1976 at age 42.
Bear Family has many volumes of The !!!! Beat available on DVD, performers included Rosco Gordon, Otis Redding, The Mighty Hannibal, Etta James, Louis Jordan, Clarence "Frogman" Henry, and too many others to mention–playing live, not lip synching.

The !!!! Beat was great. I've seen a lot of it, screened at Subway Soul.Did you see the kid with James Brown moves?PJL
T.Rebentine
Thanks! Freddy King, one of my favorite guitar players!
Gene Casey
Thanks, Hound. Look closer, though, Freddy(ie) used metal thumb and finger picks for that killer touch. HOSS ALLEN was a great champion of R&B and withstood a lot of criticism for spinning black music in his day. he loved to drink, too. One more thing: white go-go boots rule!
I love the last episode of the !!!! Beat where Hoss got so much more drunk than usual – because the show was canceled and this was the last one – that he couldn't even do the show. So Otis Redding was MC! The show was all Stax artists.(Check out how as he announces the guests for tonight, and they come out one by one on to the stage, they are greeted by Otis with a firm handshake, like Lou Gehrig greeting Joe D after a home run. No slap 5, gimme some skin or whatever hip folk did then)
This show along with the Hossman was so great. The Louis Jordan episodes are my faves especially when he brings his own band with the great Chris Columbo on drums. Growing up near Cleveland we had a show similar to the Beat called The Ken Hawkins show. he was a black DJ from WJMO. All the R&B acts that blew thru town would appear on this show. Long live The !!!Beat.
Check out Freddie's version of the Buzz Clifford classic "Aint that I don't love you." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJqlMzEmAlYTo hear Freddie live was a big deal to me. Miss him.

The show was actually broadcast out of Nashville but they taped it at the WFAA studio in Dallas ( a 1440 mile round trip)…could never figure out why.
5 Star Rating! Thanx so much for enlightening me to Hoss, I hadn't been aware of him. And those foxette dancers… WWOSERS! Freddie King always one of the greatest.
usually clarence "gatemouth" brown lead the studio band with billy cox(of hendrix fame) and david "fathead" newman on bass and tenor sax.

as an East Texas homeboy, Freddie was the best! he was from my part of the state and I got the opportunity to see him play. What memories.What is really interesting is the show's MC. Any kid growing up in the 60's and listening to those R&B songs on WLAC recognize the voice of the "Hossman" Hoss Allen. Thanks loads!
The Hound
" Any kid growing up in the 60's and listening to those R&B songs on WLAC recognize the voice of the "Hossman" Hoss Allen."I could often pick up WLAC at night in Florida where I grew up. I remember Hoss hosting a gospel show also, he played amazing records, some of which I'm still looking for….
Love the way Freddy strapped it on the right shoulder, but his best recordings were back when he played the goldtop. One of the best shows I ever saw: Freddy King opening for Patti Smith at My Father's Place back in like '76?

Deep Crimson with a purple hue.
Elegant perfumed bouquet of bramble fruits and savoury spice.
The palate displays considerable fruit concentration of plum and dark berries. The fine ripe tannins are very well integrated with fruity and savoury characters providing a velvety texture on the palate.
The fruit was handpicked and destemmed and crushed into 1 Tonne fermenters where it was cold soaked to extract and retain desirable varietal flavours and aromas. The must was allowed to naturally warm and then inoculated. The ferments were plunged twice a day and temperatures held around 25°C to prevent over extraction of tannins locked in the skins. The wine was then transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. After 9 months of barrel maturation the wine was fined then bottled.
The palate is textured and long. The savoury earthiness flows into plums and cherries. The palate has serious textural weight with a host of complex detail that is worth exploring.
arrived, as did the rain, causing everyone concern – thankfully we weren't hit as heavily as some other areas. The weather cooled heading into April but the sun came out and slowly reds ripened. 2017 was a long and interesting vintage, with the fruit staying on vines many weeks later than previous years creating great flavour development.

Considerate Contractors go 90 miles with local residents
Robert Woodhead Limited really has gone the extra mile for residents local to the Wendling Gardens building site.
The Nottinghamshire construction company, Robert Woodhead Limited is building four bungalows to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 at the location, as part of the much larger council homes building programme1,2. Once completed, the homes will be managed by Nottingham City Homes.
Next to the development is a sheltered housing complex – Challond Court run by Anchor Trust – and Robert Woodhead's Site Manager Pete Winson certainly has gone the extra mile for the residents – in fact around 90 miles.
Pete Winson and Woodhead Living, part of Robert Woodhead Ltd took more than 20 residents of the complex on a coach trip to Derbyshire on 6 March 2013. This included sightseeing and dinner, where residents got the chance to talk to Pete in a relaxed atmosphere about what was happening at the site, what the plans were and when it would be finished. Have you ever heard of a building company going that many miles to keep the local residents informed of site developments?
Michelle Hart, Scheme Manager for the sheltered housing complex commented, "I would personally like to thank Pete and his team for the Derbyshire tour and dinner. All the residents had a fantastic time. It really made them feel important."
Back in January, Pete and his team were also on hand to minimise any disruption caused by the snow. With the help of a small digger from the building site, the team cleared the residents' car park in an hour, so they could all go about their business safely. Perhaps also a little unusual was the arrival of a letter from a local resident who had taken the trouble to write to Robert Woodhead Ltd. The letter stated, "I would just like to say, the people who have been on site have been most considerate… they have been very pleasant and polite during their time here, it has been a pleasant surprise."
The site has had a first visit by the Considerate Construction Scheme who provides a report on how the construction site is being managed. The assessment takes into consideration the appearance of the site, safety and engagement within the community. Ernest Marshall, who conducted the assessment, praised the
Nottinghamshire building contractor and the site team for their efforts in creating good relationships with the local residents. As a result, the site has been awarded a Considerate Constructors Score of 40/50 which demonstrates 'Excellent' performance and is beyond compliance to the scheme. It shows a clear commitment to improve the image of construction.

Codes of Practice or Best Management Practices for farmed mink and foxes exist in major producing countries.
In Canada, fur farms operate under provincial and territorial legislation and national Codes of Practice covering animal welfare. As with all domestic animals, farmed fur animals are protected from cruelty and neglect under both national and provincial/territory law.
The Recommended Codes of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals in Canada, for both mink and ranched fox**, have been developed by the National Farm Animal Care Council a collaborative partnership of diverse stakeholders. .
These Codes set out industry guidelines for nutrition and housing, veterinary care and humane harvesting methods. Canada's national codes have been developed collectively by Canadian fur farmers, animal scientists, government regulators and humane societies.
The Standard Guidelines for the Operation of Chinchilla Ranches** was developed by the National Chinchilla Breeders of Canada and represent recognized international best management practices.
Canadian farmed fur meets the standards of the Quality Assured™ retail label.
* Statistics Canada no longer collects annual data on the fur industry.


After leading the Lady Saints to back to back wins in the Pepsi Classic to kick off the 2014 basketball season, Seward County sophomore Kyndal Davis has been named the KJCCC Women's Basketball Player of the Week in a Tuesday release by the league.
Davis kicked off her sophomore season in style this weekend at the Pepsi Classic in the Greenhouse, registering back to back double-doubles en route to a pair of Lady Saint wins. Friday night in Seward's season opener against Hill, Davis scored 17 points and had 11 rebounds in 32 minutes of work while Saturday she went for 12 points and 10 rebounds in a victory against Murray State. On the weekend she averaged 14.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest.
Davis and the Lady Saints will return to the court Thursday when they hit the road for the first time with a trip to Weatherford, Texas to battle the Weatherford Lady Coyotes.


With its new V-Ray for Unreal plug-in, Chaos Group is looking to give traditional design viz artists – those skilled in the production of stills and animations – an easy route into real time visualisation and fully interactive VR.
"We heard from customers that they had this burning desire to get their projects into a real time scenario for a variety of different things, but they were frustrated in having to sort of go through two pipelines," explains Chaos Group CCO Lon Grohs.
The new plug-in, which came out of beta earlier this month, is designed to combine real-time and ray tracing in a single pipeline. It allows users to build a V-Ray scene in their familiar DCC / CAD tool, then import every part of that scene file into Unreal Editor. The idea is that viz artists can quickly create a simple real time environment in Unreal without having to learn everything about popular game engine.
V-Ray lights and materials are automatically converted into their real-time equivalents so viz artists don't have to manually re-apply them inside Unreal. "We've gone to great lengths to try and map those as close as we can," explains Grohs, who also admits that there is always going to be a little bit of a difference between what you can get in a ray traced environment versus what you can achieve in a real time environment.
Unreal has its own light baking tools called Lightmaps, but with V-Ray for Unreal, users can now use V-Ray's own light baking. Chaos describes this as a powerful feature that lets users bake V-Ray lights (including IES) directly into Unreal with full GPU acceleration.
By using V-Ray Light Baking users can also tap into the network rendering, distributed rendering or cloud rendering capabilities of the core software. V-Ray for Unreal is also based on a hybrid rendering system, so users can use GPUs or CPUs.
For now, V-Ray for Unreal only takes care of lighting and materials. Geometry optimisation, which can be important for delivering high frame rates in a real time environment, especially VR, is going to be up to the user, explains Grohs. Some users may choose to use a toolkit like Datasmith [part of Unreal Studio from Epic Games Enterprise] for geometry optimisation, then hook into V-Ray for Unreal for rendering and light baking and so on. Both workflows could be used in parallel quite seamlessly, he adds.
Grohs told AEC Magazine that Chaos Group has a rapid development plan in place for V-Ray for Unreal and intends to push out new features quickly. It is currently working on an experimental feature that will allow users to render Unreal materials alongside V-Ray materials. This, says Grohs, could be useful for someone who is not using V-Ray for 3ds Max or SketchUp or might have imported a model from SolidWorks or another application that doesn't have a V-Ray connection.
In the future it will also be possible to render materials with textures from Substance Designer and render directly in the Unreal viewport.
Finally, Chaos Group is working on a solution that allow uses to bake out an Unreal executable – a run time. Currently, V-Ray for Unreal only works in the Unreal Editor.
V-Ray for Unreal is available now and compatible with V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino and SketchUp [compatibility with Revit is on the roadmap]. V-Ray for Unreal currently supports Unreal Engine 4.19 - 4.20 with support for 4.21 coming soon.
The software will be sold through a subscription. The monthly rate will be $80, while the annual rate will be $470.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:Intro}

For many years there has been an interest in the prime factors of numbers
of the form $a^n \pm 1$, where~$a$ is a small integer (the
{\em base}) and~$n$ is a positive exponent.
Such numbers often arise.  For example, if~$a$ is prime then
there is a finite field~$F$ with~$a^n$ elements, and the multiplicative
group of~$F$ has $a^n - 1$ elements.  Also, for prime~$a$
the sum of divisors of~$a^n$
is $\sigma(a^n) = (a^{n+1} - 1)/(a - 1)$.  Numbers of the form
$a^n + 1$ arise as factors of $a^{2n} - 1$ and in other ways.

An extensive table of factors of $a^n \pm 1$ for $a \le 12$ has been published
by Brillhart {\em et~al}~\cite{Bri88a}.  The computation of these tables
is referred to as the {\em Cunningham Project}
in recognition of the pioneering
computations of Cunningham and Woodall~\cite{Cun25}.  For a history, see the
Introduction in~\cite{Bri88a}.

The tables~\cite{Bri88a} are limited to $a \le 12$,
but many applications require larger bases.
In June 1992 tables covering the range $13 \le a < 100$
were published~\cite{rpb134}.
The exponents~$n$ satisfied $a^n < 10^{255}$ if $a < 30$, and
$n \le 100$ if $a \ge 30$. An update~\cite{rpb134u1} containing
780
new factorizations (with the same limits for $a$ and $n$)
was published in September 1994, and a second update~\cite{rpb134u2}
containing 760 new factorizations was published in March 1996.
These factorizations are now incorporated in the
{\em Magma} package~\cite{Bos96}.

Since the second update~\cite{rpb134u2},
many new factors have been found.
The factorizations are now complete for $n \le 75$,
and there are no composite cofactors
with fewer than~$103$ digits\footnote{``digits'' always means
``decimal digits''.}.
This report includes all the new (complete or partial) factorizations
found from the publication of~\cite{rpb134u2} to 31 December 2000.
Altogether,
951 new (complete or partial)
factorizations are listed,
involving 1098 new
factors\footnote{Here
and elsewhere we do not count large factors which
are obtained by division by other factors.}.
Table~\ref{Tab:Progress} summarizes progress since the publication
of the original tables~\cite{rpb134}. ``Update~3'' refers to this Report.

\begin{table}[h]
\caption{Statistics regarding the Tables and Updates}
~\\[-5pt]
\label{Tab:Progress}
\centerline{
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline
Tables	 & Date		& Smallest 	& Complete to & Total  \\
	 &		& composite	& exponent    & entries\\
									\hline
Original & June 1992	& 81 digits	& 46	      & 13882  \\
Update~1 & Sept.~1994	& 87 digits     & 58	      & 780    \\
Update~2 & March 1996	& 95 digits	& 66	      & 760    \\
Update~3 & Dec.~2000    & 103 digits    & 75	      & 951	\\
									\hline
\end{tabular}
}
\end{table}

Table~\ref{Tab:Distribution} shows the number of prime factors of different
sizes found for Updates~1--3 (excluding large factors obtained
by division).  The median sizes are 26~digits for Update~1,
29--30~digits for Update~2,
and 33~digits for Update~3.
The {\em smallest} new factor is 20 digits for Update~3
(compare 14 digits for Update~2). We would be surprised
if many factors of less than 25 digits are still to be found.
The {\em largest} new penultimate factor is 60 digits for Update~3
(compare 56 digits for Update~2).

\section{Format of the Tables}

The format of the Tables is the same as in~\cite{rpb134}.
For each base~$a$, not a perfect power, in the range $13 \le a < 100$,
we give two separate tables~--

\begin{itemize}
\item[] {\em Table a}$-$: factorizations of $a^n - 1$, $n$ odd.\\[-20pt]
\item[] {\em Table a}$+$: factorizations of $a^n + 1$.
\end{itemize}

\noindent The exponent ranges are as in~\cite{rpb134}~--
\begin{itemize}
\item[] $13 \le a < 30$, exponents $n$
	such that $a^n < 10^{255}$.			\\[-20pt]
\item[] $30 \le a < 100$, exponents $n \le 100$.
\end{itemize}

The entries are similar in format to those of the ``short'' tables
in~\cite{Bri88a}.
All known factors, including algebraic and
Aurifeuillian~\cite{rpb135} factors, are listed.
Factors which are given as decimal numbers are primes.
Exponents are indicated by a hat~({\char94}), for example
``2{\char94}3'' means~$2^3$.
Multiplication is indicated by a period~(.),
for example $3^3 + 1 = 2^27$ is written as ``2{\char94}2.7''.
A period at the end of a line implies that the factorization is
continued on the next line.
An underscore (\_) at the end of a line means that a (large) factor
is continued on the next line (see, for example, the entry for $19^{177}-1$).

The largest factor of $a^n \pm 1$ may be found by division
by the smaller factors.  Thus, such factors are abbreviated.
The notation $p_{xy}$ or ``{\tt{pxy}}''
means a prime factor of {\tt{xy}} digits.
For example, the prime 1238926361552897 might be abbreviated as~{\tt{p16}}.
Similarly, the notation $c_{xy}$ or ``{\tt{cxy}}''
means a composite number of {\tt{xy}} digits.

\section{Availability of Tables, Updates and Factors}
\label{sec:avail}

The restriction
$n \le 100$ for bases $a \ge 30$ has been relaxed for the online tables;
we only require $a^n < 10^{255}$.
For this extended table range, the smallest composite has 102 digits.

\section{Factorization Methods}

Since Update 2 we have attempted to
factor the remaining composite numbers in the tables by using the
{\em elliptic curve method} (ECM).
Sometimes ECM is successful in finding one or more factors.
If the factorization can not be completed by ECM, but the remaining composite
part is sufficiently small, we use the
{\em multiple polynomial quadratic sieve} (MPQS) method
to complete the factorization. In some cases we prefer to use
the {\em number field sieve} (NFS) if it is predicted to be
faster than MPQS\footnote{The choice depends upon
the size of the known non-algebraic factors of the number $a^n \pm 1$.
We normally use the {\em special} number field sieve (SNFS),
but in at least one case
($17^{186}+1$) the {\em general} number field sieve (GNFS)
was used (this factorization was contribution by
Couveignes, Granboulan, Hoogvorst and Nguyen).}.

We do not describe ECM, MPQS or NFS here.
The reader should refer to~\cite{Len87,Mon87,Mon94}
for a general description of ECM,
to~\cite{Boe95,Sil87} for MPQS, and to~\cite{Len93a,Hui95,Mur99} for NFS.
A recent survey is~\cite{rpb196}.
The particular implementations of ECM by Brent and Montgomery are
described in~\cite{rpb161,Mon92}.

Table~\ref{Tab:counts} shows the number of factors found by
several methods in the preparation of Updates~1--3.
For ECM and MPQS these only include penultimate factors
of at least 30 digits.
An increase in the use of SNFS
and decline in the use of Pollard's $p \pm 1$ methods~\cite{Rie94} is evident.
There is also a marked increase in the number of large (at least 30-digit)
factors found by ECM. Most of the new factors found by MPQS and SNFS are large
because these methods are only used after ECM has been tried.
In fact, since Update~2, MPQS and SNFS did not find any factor with
less than thirty digits, because such factors had already been found by ECM.
The largest factor found by ECM was a 52-digit factor of
$96^{98}+1$ (see~\cite{champ40}).

\section{First Holes}

A ``first hole'' is the first composite number occurring in a table.
Thus, each table of factorizations is complete up to, but not including,
its first hole. Table~\ref{Tab:Holes} lists the
exponents of the current first holes
for $2 \le a < 100$ (the range $2 \le a \le 12$ is included for
the sake of comparison).
For example, the first holes in the tables for $a = 17$ occur for
exponents 137 and 118. In fact, first holes such as
$17^{118}+1 = 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 29 \cdot 7789 \cdot c_{139}$
are good candidates for factorization by SNFS.

\section{Probable Primes}

Numbers listed as prime have not in all cases been rigorously
proved to be prime; they may merely have passed a probabilistic
primality test~\cite{Knu81}.  There is a positive but extremely small
probability that a composite number
will pass such a test and be mistaken for a prime.
In applications where it is essential for primality to be
proven rigorously, one should apply an algorithm such as
Morain's elliptic curve primality test~\cite{Atk93b,Mor90b},
which can easily prove
or disprove the primality of numbers of the size considered here.

Senate Plan Outlines New HBCU Preservation Strategy
The U.S. Senate has another new bill to promote historic preservation at HBCUs — a plan with new provisions recommended by UNCF-The College Fund.
The plan introduced by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is similar to other bills introduced this session but with additional provisions suggested by UNCF, congressional aides say. The HBCU Historic Preservation Act of 2002 would allocate more federal funds for preservation while in some cases limiting the amount of matching funds colleges would have to provide for such projects.
"We simply need to make HBCUs more contemporary, competitive, living and learning environments," said Dr. Michael Lomax, Dillard University president, in supporting the bill introduced in late September.
Landrieu said her bill bears many similarities to other legislation but would include an "orderly process" to identify, need and set priorities. "It's important to preserve these natural treasures," the senator said.
The bill incorporates many provisions from legislation introduced by Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn.
For example, both bills would set at 30 percent the amount of non-federal matching funds colleges would have to provide for projects. An earlier federal law had required HBCUs to provide a 50 percent match.
But the Landrieu bill goes beyond the earlier plan in other ways. According to a summary distributed by the senator's staff, the new bill includes UNCF recommendations to:
• Require a comprehensive assessment of all HBCU historic properties;
• Provide $60 million a year for 15 to 20 preservation grants based on the need assessment;
• Define "need" to include lack of institutional resources to pay for renovation and physical deterioration of property for lack of use; and
• Allow for the waiving of the matching requirement if a college has an endowment of less than $50 million.Based on a 1998 General Accounting Office (GAO) survey, 712 buildings on 103 HBCU campuses are in need of repairs or structural renovations. Legislation approved in 1996 provided $29 million for restoration of buildings on 12 campuses, but that legislation has expired, according to Clyburn. GAO has pegged the cost of preserving the historic buildings at $755 million.
Landrieu's bill is S. 3002. Clyburn's legislation, H.R. 1666, already has gained approval from the House Resources Committee. A companion to that bill, S. 2613, is pending before the Senate's Natural Resources panel.

Heller Ehrman wins HK litigation
Californian law firm hires ex-Denton litigation team.
Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe has hired Denton Wilde Sapte's Hong Kong managing partner and his entire litigation and dispute resolution team after a strategic re-think led the firm to close down all of its Asian offices on August 1.
Denton's loss is Heller Ehrman's gain. Martin Downey has 19 years' experience as a litigator in the Hong Kong market, 17 of them with Denton. He is joined by fellow partner David Hall-Jones, plus the eight other lawyers and eight support staff who made up the whole team at Denton.
The deal is the latest move in Heller Ehrman's Asian expansion. Last June it hired a 19-lawyer team from Siao Wen & Leung, one of Hong Kong's biggest local firms, and in March this year it opened an office in Beijing with the aim of having 10 lawyers stationed there by year-end.
The addition of an international litigation and arbitration team will complement the Siao Wen corporate team and should be able to leverage Heller Ehrman's international client list.
"We spoke to a number of firms that were interested in acquiring us as a team," says Downey. "But we were really impressed by the vision and commitment to Asia here at Heller Ehrman. Our goal now is to re-develop our practice and drive it forward."
The team will advise on cross-border litigation in Hong Kong and will also act as advisers in the growing arbitration centres of Singapore and Beijing. Heller Ehrman, a San Francisco firm, is best known in the US for its litigation expertise and the firm is hoping that in conjunction with its Californian high-tech experience this will prove to be a client-winner in China and elsewhere in the region. The firm has already represented Huawei Technologies in its defence of Cisco's Texas-based lawsuit – the case was eventually settled out of court in July.

Newzealand Holiday Package- New Zealand, a land of celestial beauty and a dream holiday destination known for Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and kiwis world wide.
Your adventure begins at the Queenstown, where you board a coach to Te Anau arriving in time for a light lunch and a group photo. After lunch you drive to Te Anau Downs boat harbour, where a boat waits to take you up to the spectacular northern end of Lake Te Anau. From the wharf it is a short 20 minute walk to historic Glade House, your first lodge, for a hot shower, a filling meal and a comfortable bed.
After crossing the emerald green Clinton River you follow it up the valley to the Hirere Falls lunch shelter. The beech forest gets more luxurient the further you go, until it releases you on to the Prairie. From this meadow you can capture the true nature of the ice carved Clinton Canyon. It is a short climb to Pompolona Lodge from here.
This is the most demanding day, especially in incelment weather. The track leads to Lake Mintaro at the head of the Clinton Valley, before climbing the Mackinnon Pass in a series of zig-zags. Take your time. At the top you will be rewarded with endless views and lunch in Pass Hut. After the rocky descent into Arthur Valley you will welcome a hot cup of tea at Quintin Lodge. It should be enough to refresh you for the 90 minute round trip to the Sutherland Falls, the world's fifth highest cascade.
Your final day on the track. You walk down the Arthur Valley to Boatshed for a cup of tea; on past MacKay Falls and Bell Rock, which was turned out of the river during a particularly violent flood, to the lunch spot at Giant's Gate waterfall. The final stretch of the track follows tranquil Lake Ada to Sandfly Point, where according to Maori legend the goddess Te Hine-nui-te-po released the sandfly to stop men lingering too long in the beauty of Fiordland. From here it is a short launch trip to Mitre Peak Lodge where you will enjoy a celebratory dinner.
After breakfast you will board one of the famous Red Boats for a cruise on Milford Sound. Watch for dolphins and fur seals and pray for rain. (No-one believes us, but the waterfalls are absolutely incredible!) Following the cruise you start your spectacular journey through the heart of Fiordland National Park to the Homer Tunnel and on to Te Anau. After a light lunch we continue to Queenstown, via Queenstown Airport, arriving at approximately 3.30pm.

Hilary Holladay Interview and Belgium Broadside
Author and Beat biographer Hilary Holladay has been doing her part to bring more attention to the poetry of Harold Norse. As mentioned earlier this year, Hilary's interview with writer and publisher Jan Herman highlighted his friendship with Harold. Hilary recently interviewed me about Harold Norse, his relationship with Allen Ginsberg, Bastard Angel magazine and my editing of the selected edition of Harold's poems. You can read the complete interview at hilaryholladay.com.
"Without Harold, the Beats would not have such a rich international dimension. He lived in Paris in the late 1950s and traveled widely. We read often of New York City and San Francisco, but a great deal of the Beats' influence came out of what happened in Paris, Tangier, and the Greek Islands, and Harold was part of that scene."
"Harold embraced his Jewish heritage when the Nazis rose to power. Also, he saw how prejudice arose from baseless stereotypes whether it was blacks, queers, or Jews. For instance, Harold—muscular, hairy, butch—was never suspected of being queer. His swarthy complexion and upturned nose could have him pegged as anything from Italian to English to German."
I highly recommend Hilary's biography Herbert Huncke: The Times Square Hustler Who Inspired Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation. Huncke's pivotal role in connecting Beat writers with narcotics and criminality has sadly overshadowed the magnificence of his writings. Though he never published as much as his friends Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs, Herbert was able to convey the sordid tales of those he knew with a rare empathy, which is the essence of Beat literature.
Leslie Winer has been contributing her passion and creativity to Huncke's estate with the elegant website Huncke Tea Company. I highly recommend perusing their SoundCloud page where you can listen to recordings of Huncke reading along with Leslie's contemporary interpretations of Herbert's writings spoken in her dry yet winsome voice. She is currently recording a series of Huncke stories, notebook entries & letters put to some new music co-written with & produced by Christophe Van Huffel which will soon be released on vinyl.
For over a decade, Bart de Paepe's Sloow Tapes in Belgium has been releasing cassettes recordings from numerous artists who were connected with Harold including Judith Malina, Ira Cohen, Brion Gysin and Sinclair Beiles. Three years ago Sloow Tapes released Harold Norse Take a Chance In The Void: Harold Norse at the Beat Hotel, another cassette-only release from Cut Up recordings made by Harold when he lived in Paris at the Beat Hotel in the early 1960s. I'm pleased to note that the edition of 100 copies has completely sold out.
Last year Sloow Tapes began publishing broadsides with eye catching graphics on the front and poetry on the back of A5 size paper. Sloow Tapes Broadside #11 was released last month featuring Harold's poem "Wise to its Poisoned Condition." Here's what Bart had to say about the broadside,
"Between 1960 and 1963 Norse lived in Paris with William Burroughs and Gregory Corso in the hotel in the Latin Quarter known as the "Beat Hotel". Although initially wary of the Beat writers' literary credentials, Norse collaborated with Brion Gysin on the cut-up technique and was briefly an acclaimed painter of ink drawings soaked in the hotel bidet, known as Cosmographs. Norse described himself as a "lone-wolf" and he refused to join the pack, at some cost. In many ways he was more "Beat" than the Beats: Jewish, illegitimate, homosexual.
Norse was an outsider who quietly produced some startling and technically accomplished verse from the fringes of the US literary scene. 'Wise to Its Poisoned Condition' is an unpublished poem written at the time he lived at the Beat Hotel and illustrated with a mylar portrait by Ira Cohen."
I just received some copies of the broadside and it is a truly beautiful artifact. The psychedelic photograph was from a series of pictures Ira took of Harold in the early 1970s when he was photographing everyone from Jack Smith to Jimi Hendrix in his mylar chamber.
A black-and-white version of that photograph was used for the cover of Harold's 1976 anthology of gay poems Carnivorous Saint. It was also featured on the back cover of Harold Norse Of Course…, the double vinyl record release of Harold's 1984 poetry reading in Amsterdam available from Unrequited Records. This collector's item is sure to be snapped up in no time, so make sure you procure a copy at this link.
Jan Herman's The San Francisco Earthquake and Norse Centennial Update

New York born and based writer, publisher Jan Herman first met Harold Norse in Paris in the grim, grey winter of 1963. Herman, a recent college grad, had moved to Paris to live the life of an expatriate writer. Poor and lonely, he sat in cafés writing poems on napkins and was noticed by Norse. The pair struck up a conversation leading to an invitation to Norse's room at the Beat Hotel.
For years, American expatriate Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs had been living amongst the hotel's small, inexpensive rooms. The painter Brion Gysin had recently cut through a stack of newspapers only to recognize a new language within its butchered text and, along with Burroughs' collaboration, originated the use of Cut Ups.
"The hotel was miserable, dark, cold, dreary. The walls were sweating. It was winter, you know, they were wet. It was really cave-like. We went to his room. We smoked hash. He put the make on me, of course. I was rather innocent but I was not interested really, sexually, but we had a good time. We talked forever because I didn't get out of that room until it was late night, dark, late night. I made my way completely loaded back to my hotel room with several books, very thin books… All this expatriate stuff I had hoped for, he personified."
-Jan Herman interviewed in 2013
Herman recently published The Z Collection– portraits and sketches of notable 20th Century authors which has been featured by The International Times. Interviewed by Hilary Holladay, author of the excellent Herbert Huncke biography, Herman's sharp, insightful, generous observations about Beat writers can be read here.
IT recently featured Jack Foley's review of the Norse Selected Poems and it's great to see him popping up again. Holladay's interview includes a mention of Norse though he is not among the book's subjects.
Holladay: "You met Harold Norse in Paris when he was living at the Beat Hotel. Did you stay in touch with him after that? Considering what an interesting, well-connected poet he was, why do you think he didn't achieve the name recognition of the more famous Beat poets?"
Herman: "I wasn't in touch with him again until 1967, when I started Earthquake. In the third issue I published his long poem "Hotel Nirvana." It was later included as the title poem of his City Lights collection. When he was living in Venice Beach, we occasionally spoke by phone. At some point he said he wanted to move to San Francisco, so before I left town at the end of 1971, I offered to pass him my railroad flat with all the furniture in it. The rent was only 90 bucks a months. He lived there for the next five years.
Lack of wide recognition bothered the hell out of him. He was so hurt and so vain about it that he became an awful injustice collector, pissing and moaning to the point of obsession. Hal needed a better PR agent or a better strategy. He was strictly a literary man, which doesn't cut it. Ginsberg became legendarily famous for his activism. Burroughs became a celebrated cult figure by way of the underground press. Even Gregory Corso's antics drew attention. But Hal didn't do too badly in the glory department. His name is right up there, second from the top, on the memorial plaque at what used to be the Beat Hotel."
Reality Studios, the premier online community of Burroughs enthusiasts, features a superb overview of Herman's work and Jan's latest writings can be found at his Arts Journal blog.

Though only published for two years, The San Francisco EARTHQUAKE was an outlet for writers and artists who were part of Herman's circle. Among them are painter Mary Beach, writer and artist Claude Pélieu, artist Liam O'Gallagher, collagist Norman Mustill and translator, publisher Carl Weissner.
Weissner, who passed away four years ago, was the German translator for both Norse and Charles Bukowski. Through the publisher Maro Verlag, Weissner was the first to publish Norse's Cut Up novel The Beat Hotel. The 1975 edition (republished in 1995) featured surrealist, psychedelic collages by Mustill.
Norse's poem "Hotel Nirvana" was featured in the third issue of The San Francisco EARTHQUAKE published in Spring, 1968. The poem expanded, eventually becoming the title poem of Norse's 1974 book published in City Lights' Pocket Poet Series.

In addition to writings by fellow Beat Hotel resident and Cut Up participant Sinclair Beiles and the poem "Elegy for Jack Spicer" by poet Robert Duncan, highlights inside the third issue of The San Francisco EARTHQUAKE are a collection of collages of Beach, Pélieu, Mustill and others.
These artists deserve more attention at haroldnorse.com, but for now there are a number of web links that call for further examination. The Beach-Plymell Collection is a superb repository of artwork by Beach and Pélieu. Be warned you could spend days looking at their incredible works. Empty Mirror Books features some remembrances of Mary Beach. For now, let your eyes rattle at some of The San Francisco EARTHQUAKE'S collages.
