ART HK debuts this year as its flashy incarnation, Art Basel Hong
Kong, the first Asian outpost of the Art Basel conglomerate and the
third in a family of fairs that includes annual events in Basel and
Miami Beach.
With a focus on Asian art, Art Basel’s third child
is set to become the art world’s hottest new destination. And with the
globe’s collectors increasingly looking east, a spot in this prestigious
fair is an artist’s golden ticket to gaining a more solidified
international presence.
At fairs like this, galleries generally
showcase their biggest names, and solo outings by artists are the norm.
So when Ivan Lam revealed that he would be sharing the limelight with
not just one, but 500 other Malaysian artists, our eyebrows naturally
raised towards the ceiling.
Having secured a place at the fair
in May at Wei-Ling Gallery’s booth, Lam plans to use his spot to promote
contemporary Malaysian art.
“This is a post-egotistical attempt
by a single artist,” quips Lam, whose artwork aims to transport local
art to the international art scene. For too long, he believes, our
nation’s art has been overlooked and he’s looking to share his golden
ticket with his contemporaries.
“It’s like an artist’s social
responsibility,” notes Lam, who argues that his piece titled Coma is a
gift back to the art scene. “The community has been good to me,” he
says.
Lam’s artwork certainly facilitates this egalitarian form
of exhibitionism. Essentially a vending machine, Coma will vend
miniature 8 x 8 artworks by living local artists throughout the duration
of the fair. Currently in-the-works,Where you can create a custom lanyard from our wide selection of styles and materials. Lam’s goal is to collect 500 pieces for inclusion.
“The
artworks will be rotated daily, so the landscape of the piece will
change everyday,” he explains, adding that each artwork will be housed
in a perspex case with labels bearing their particulars. “It’ll be of
premium quality, like a product that you buy,We sell 100% hand-painted oil paintings for sale online.” he says, placing emphasis on the term “product.”
That
emphasis isn’t coincidental. Lam’s work straddles the concepts of high
and lowbrow art, and it also mimics the fiscal workings of the very art
fair that it’ll be exhibited in.
After all, isn’t the trade of
contemporary art becoming more like purchasing an item off the shelf?
And how different is the art collector from the Average Joe who buys a
canned drink from a vending machine?
Well, there are definite
differences, such as the price tags and the exclusivity of most
artworks, but the element of consumerism isn’t a wholly different ball
game. Then, there is one other notable difference as far as Coma goes:
Lam’s piece functions as a single entity, so interested parties will
have to take home lock, stock, and barrel — an entire compendium of
Malaysian art, which is precisely what Coma stands for.
“Basically, I’m getting artists to give me their business card, their artist business card,” he says.
Lam returns to Coma’s larger purpose — to showcase contemporary local art en masse to a wider audience.
He
argues that the vending machine will enable viewers to choose with
immediate effect. Plus, it’ll also be a lot of fun. He has imported an
ultra-modern version of the machine from Japan. Unlike traditional
machines that drop the selected item,They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets. it features a sleek robotic arm that glides across the interior in a rather hypnotising manner.
Effectively,Are you looking for Optical frame,
glasses and eye exams? Coma will serve as a moving catalogue and, like
the pages of a printed book, the viewer has the autonomy to flip the
page and read what he likes. The added bonus is that Ivan will be
standing by the machine throughout the fair, explaining the provenance
of each selected artwork to interested parties.
In one of Lam’s
previous art fair outings, Art Stage Singapore, Wei-Ling Gallery
featured his signature paintings, produced with household paint and
coated in a glossy veneer. Coma is a big digression from this and a
potential head-turner for gallery and artist, who are both stepping into
Hong Kong’s largest and busiest art fair for the first time.
“Four
thousand people applied for 200 spaces,” notes Lam, illustrating the
level of competition behind Art Basel Hong Kong’s selection process, as
well as the fair’s demand. Interestingly, he faced challenges in getting
content for his vending machine. “My ego has been stepped on so many
times,” he admits in frustration, explaining that many of his peers have
shown reticence towards the idea.
“The whole project is not
about ego, or race, age, or anything else,” he says. Could the concept
of a vending machine be too far-out for our local art scene, which as a
rule of thumb, remains stuck in formalist trappings and grandiose
artworks? Perhaps. And financial dealings aside — an inescapable facet
of any art fair or commercial art environment — Coma’s concept is a
winner,Online shopping for luggage tag from a great selection of Clothing. and if one artist can be a crusader with a vending machine, then Lam is that person.

See Portland through the eyes of local music
After the first five days doggedly tracking on the future And And And
album, it was time to go enjoy San Diego. The good news: list spots to
see Portland Cello Project! The bad news: whoever books them hooked them
up with in a faux-posh cement echo chamber, filled with rows of
baby-boomers. Yes, I am arguing to see a classical ensemble at Bar
Eleven, Soda Bar or another dim, glorious music hole resembling
Portland's The Know. Even so, I'm enjoying the arrangements—musically,
at least. I mean, what can you do? Old couples love these types of
groups, but they also want "safe" environments.Where you can create a
custom lanyard
from our wide selection of styles and materials. "Oh, look, Harvey,
they didn't bother to change it at all in here, it's so interesting that
they used to build boats in here." Jokes about aged sensibilities
aside, there were great moments in this set, including an original song,
sung and written by Radiation City's own Patti King, and a couple of
well-adapted Radiohead jams.
I'd been back in Portland for about an hour by the time UUVVWWZ started, so maybe my excitement was polished by simply being super stoked to finally be back home and at a show. Teal Gardner's vocal style loiters around both Merrill Garbus and Crass's Penis Envy, while her band pounds out Goo-ish youthful sonics. I did it, that thing where writers jam a bunch of old familiar things together as if to say,Are you looking for Optical frame, glasses and eye exams? it's okay that readers are 20-30 years behind.
"The most exciting thing about going to local shows—specifically the shows where the whole bill consists of local bands—is rarely the headliner. In many cases, it's the opener. We could talk until logic flips upside-down, theorize some hack jab about them being more stoked to get to play,They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets. but this isn't science and thank art for that. The Cry! opened and was by far the best of the night. There's gotta be an algorithm for this phenomenon—get on that, Neil deGrasse Tyson! The Cry! is a band that already had serious '60s and '70s pop influences, so the Rock'N'Roll Prom was almost too good of a fit. You had me at the Turtles."
Blackwater Records has been throwing killer all ages punk shows for years—first at their location on 20th & Morrison and now at their NE spot on Russell just shy of MLK—and this is definitely one of those shows. I've got this memory hammered in my mind of Bi-Marks at The Know with their lead singer being instantly consumed when they start, thrashing himself in a way that would be masochistic, if it didn't look so fun, falling headfirst into the cinderblock that was trying to keep the kick drum in place, but never missing a lyric, playing what hardcore was meant to be.Online shopping for luggage tag from a great selection of Clothing. The level of energy that will pour out of these bands in one night could power a city for a week. And to think, they convert regular pizza into such a thing.
You ever wonder what it might be like if you were totally killing the game all the time and had a great band with your close buds that ripped? I'd bet something worth more than money that the Animal Eyes dudes could explain how that feels. They're the kind of band that is very serious about doing it for the right reasons—and it seems to have worked out swimmingly for them, given that you just don't see someone not enjoying an Animal Eyes set—but never letting reasons play their music for them.
Charts have been blacking-out and shirking perfection around Portland's basements, living rooms and venues for quite a while now.We sell 100% hand-painted oil paintings for sale online. I personally think that they walk a line that has gone largely unnoticed—at least by a wide section of show-goers—that places them cuts above. No frills or fancy necessary, just straight-up real band songs. I could use a bunch of huge words to pigeonhole them, but they're better than that 'cause "Let's make some good songs" rather than "We're the new-new that'll crumble to the next new." Mrs. Magicians taps a similar keg, and it is good.
The Firkin Tavern for mayor! What a wonderful place. They've got it all—lottery, locals, liquor—and they do my favorite thing in the #PDXMusic world: free shows (that are booked by the headlining band) with a cut of the bar paid out to the bands. This formula has produced an alarming number of the truly extraordinary shows that I've seen in Portland, not to mention the countless bands that it has drawn out of basements and primed to play venues. So with that in mind, Firkin for mayor! P.S. The We Shared Milk is current'y doing a Friday night residency there and tonight's looking killer as well.

Sunset Memorial complaints return as litigation looms
Amy Andies never gave any thought about where she would be buried.
She just assumed it would be at Sunset Memorial Gardens with the rest of
her family. But, not anymore.
“Oh no,” she said flatly, when asked if she would buy any lots in the cemetery. “I don’t know, really (in which cemetery she would buy lots). It’s something I’ve got to look into.”
For the second time in about six months, body fluids have leaked from her grandmother’s crypt in the mausoleum.
Attorney Jim Logan said Monday he settled on an oral agreement that deficiencies would be corrected. This time, he will pursue litigation similar to the civil action taken against Fort Hill Cemetery owner Louisville Land Company.
“I’ve contacted Assistant District Attorney Stephen Hatchett and will be giving him the necessary petitions requesting that office to engage in prosecution of the violations,” Logan said. “It took us what, seven years to get (drainage) tiles installed.”
Dale Lawrence of the Lawrence Group of Dallas, Ga., did not respond to requests for an interview left at the cemetery sales office.
Sunset Memorial Gardens, located north of Cleveland on North Lee Highway, was the subject of complaints in 2011. The complaints focused then on heavy equipment used to dig new graves. The equipment leaves ruts in graves and knocks down vases, and outriggers used to stabilize the backhoe crack headstones.
Then, in late July 2012, the crypts leaked body fluids.
“The smell is just horrendous. I think what angers me so much now is we were assured this was resolved six months ago,” Andies said. “They gave their apologies. [They said] the front of her tomb had been removed and sealed correctly; here we are six months later and clearly, it wasn’t done. Clearly, their apologies were insincere.”
Long before a large stain on the carpet can be seen, the smell is overpowering. It is a stench that clings to clothing and penetrates nostrils and sinus cavities. The noxious odor continues to assault the senses long after leaving the cemetery and leaves one feeling nauseous.
“A sickening smell. It’s just horrible,” she said. “It’s a disgrace, not only to the immediate family, but all the family members who are represented here, inside the mausoleum, the grounds throughout the cemetery. This isn’t the first and probably won’t be the last issue we’ve had with them about not keeping the grounds here.”
Ralph Buckner Jr., Ralph Buckner Funeral Home and Crematory, complained to Burial Services of the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance in July 2012. He filed the complaint after a bronze vendor emailed him photos of the three mausoleums showing leakage spilling onto the carpeted floor. The lights were burned out or broken, a single window air-conditioning unit was broken and the only ventilation came from two box fans. Also, the roof leaked, there was a broken window and the interior was generally dirty.
“Here we are again,” Andies said. “It’s very disheartening. It’s sad so much disrespect is shown to our loved ones,” she said.You must not use the laser cutter without being trained. “When we bury them, we like to think we can visit them and have a sense of peace, and it’s anything but that.”
Logan said about 25 people have contacted his office with various complaints. He said there has been a little work to cover up some of the mold,The USB flash drives wholesale is our flagship product. but the mold is still there.
“We had entered into an oral agreement with the Lawrence Group,” he said. “I tried to get them to enter into a written contract. They have done some of the things they were supposed to do. They did clean what was found about six months ago. It was atrocious. It was very, very, very, very despicable.”
Logan said no ventilation system has been installed, the rear of the building where people park is still unsightly and the crypts were not sealed with plexiglass.
“The violations of those standards applicable to the operation of the mausoleum make it necessary for us to proceed (with litigation). We had high hopes that not only complaints here, but in Hilcrest Cemetery would be resolved long before now,Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks!” he said. “There are some things that have been done, but they are minor in terms of the things that need to be done.”
In September 2012, the Lawrence Group was assessed the largest ever civil penalty issued by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance Burial Services program. Over a two-year period in 2008 and 2009, the company made at least 20 withdrawals totaling $1.77 million from the Sunset and Hilcrest cemetery perpetual trust funds. The Lawrence Group agreed to pay $267,450 from four final orders from the state. Of that amount, $114,000 was paid directly to the improvement care funds, and $151,000 was a civil penalty paid to the department. The Lawrence Group also repaid the two trusts.

Carrollwood Filipino community honors Santo Nino
On the third Sunday of every January, the community hosts a
celebration of the Feast of Santo Nino de Cebu, complete with a high
Mass, a procession of priests and people carrying the image of the Santo
Nino (the Holy Child) around the parish grounds, and finally a feast of
ethnic Filipino food. On Jan. 20, Father Len Piotrowski kicked off the
celebration, which is open to not only parishioners but also the people
of Carrollwood.
The image of Santo Nino depicts the introduction of Christianity to the southern Philippines on the island of Cebu in 1521 by Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Cebu is also the Philippine island where it is believed that Magellan persuaded the local royalty to not only pledge allegiance to Charles V of Spain but also convert to Catholicism.
The St. Paul Filipino community's devotion to Santo Nino is so intense that in 2010, with the blessing of Piotrowski and Diocese of St. Petersburg Bishop Robert Lynch, a shrine was built, heavily inlaid with ceramic tile murals and statues, lushly landscaped and surrounded by an artistically themed wrought iron fence.
The shrine is dedicated to Santo Nino de Cebu and can be found on the south side of the main sanctuary.
Known as both a peaceful and beautiful place, the grounds of the shrine are always occupied, frequently with somebody sitting quietly on its stone benches, meditating or praying. Visiting it, most have no idea that they are just a few hundred yards from one of the busiest highways and some of the most crowded intersections in Hillsborough County.
Meanwhile, the bones that have just been confirmed as those of Richard III - the last Plantagenet king, the last monarch to die on a battlefield, and the man whose death ushered in the upstart Tudors - lay quietly in a calm room on the second floor of the Leicester University library, unknown to many of the students bustling in and out of the building.
Inevitably, the press conference in another building - with 140 registered journalists and camera crews from seven countries - was controlled mayhem, but the university had gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the actual remains were treated with respect.
The conference had revealed the appalling nature of the injuries inflicted in the last moments of Richard's life and, perhaps even more gruesomely, in the hours afterwards.
But in the quiet room with the blinds drawn there were no banners, no university logos - just the bones, stained a reddish brown by their centuries in the clay, laid out on a black velvet cloth on four library tables pushed together and protected by a glass case. Journalists were invited to ''bear witness''.You must not use the laser cutter without being trained.
The feet were missing, probably chopped off when a Victorian outhouse was built on the site of the long-lost Greyfriars church, missing the main skeleton by inches. The hands lay by his side, but as found suggested that he was buried with arms still bound, just as he was lugged from the battlefield.
The skull lay with the largely undamaged face up - itself a significant and sinister point, according to the experts, hiding the savage blow to the base from a halberd, a fearsome mediaeval pike-like weapon, which sliced through bone and into the brain.
The shock was the spine, bent like an aerial view of the river Thames - it was not, after all, simply Tudor propaganda, which had portrayed the king as a twisted psychopath.
Dr Jo Appleby, the bones expert from Leicester University who excavated the skeleton and has worked on it for months, said the skeleton had suffered 10 injuries, including eight to the skull, around the time of death. Two of the skull wounds were potentially fatal.
One was a ''slice'' removing a flap of bone, the other was caused by a bladed weapon that went through and hit the opposite side of the skull - a depth of more than 10 centimetres .
''Both of these injuries would have caused an almost instant loss of consciousness and death would have followed quickly afterwards,'' Appleby said.
The other wounds came after death,Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks! and were described - in an image still resonant from many battlegrounds today - as ''humiliation injuries'', including a pelvic wound likely to have been caused by an upward thrust of a weapon through the buttock.
They could not have happened to a man protected by armour, and are consistent with the accounts of his body being stripped on the battlefield, and brought back to Leicester naked, slung over the pommel of a horse. That, almost certainly, was when the thrusting injury through the right buttock and into the pelvis occurred.
The skeleton was also contorted by scoliosis, which set in some time after Richard was 10, from an unknown cause. Appleby said it would have made Richard's breathing increasingly more difficult, and taken inches off what would have been his full height of 5' 8'' (172 centimetres), a reasonably tall man for mediaeval times.
But the condition meant Richard would have stood significantly shorter and his right shoulder may have been higher than the left.
Professor Lin Foxhall, head of the university's archaeology department, and Bob Savage, an expert on mediaeval weapons from the Royal Armouries, pointed out that Richard's face was relatively undamaged. ''They'd killed the king and they needed to keep him recognisable,'' Savage said.They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets.
''To me, the injuries are fully consistent with the accounts of his dying in a melee,The USB flash drives wholesale is our flagship product. and [being] unhorsed - I believe he was dead within minutes of coming off his horse. But they took care not to bash the face about too much.
''It's the Gaddafi effect. We saw just this in the horrible mobile-phone footage of Gaddafi being found, and you can hear the voices shouting, 'Not the face, don't touch the face'. It's one of those dreadful lessons from history which we never learn.''
While the grumbles that this was all show business, not history, went on throughout the day, Neville Morley, professor of ancient history at the University of Bristol, whose own field is the more ancient battlefields of Greece and Rome, said that to identify any named individual from such a remote period was ''fantastically rare - and valuable. It's the fact that he was a king that lets us get to the identification.''
Richard Buckley, the lead archaeologist on the project, pointed out that - apart from disentangling Richard's last day on earth from the fog of Tudor propaganda, led by its most brilliant exponent, William Shakespeare - the story of the king from the car park is also another lost strand in the history of Leicester, wreathed in rumour, until now very short on fact.
Indeed, the city is wasting no time profiting from its day in the international media spotlight. A temporary exhibition opens this week in the Guildhall, near the site, and next year a permanent new visitor centre will open, possibly on the same day that the russet bones are reinterred in a newly designed tomb in the cathedral.
Meanwhile, Michael Ibsen, the man whose spit proved the vital link across almost six centuries, grew more quiet and subdued as the day wore on. ''My head is no clearer now than when I first heard the news,'' he said. Ibsen is a direct descendant of Richard III's sister, Anne of York, and provided the DNA sample that allowed scientists to establish the remains were those of the king.
''Many, many hundreds of people died on that field that day. He was a king, but just one of the dead. He lived in very violent times, and these deaths would not have been pretty - or quick.''
By ironic chance, the pit that may have held a man believed to have murdered his two young nephews - the princes in the Tower - is directly overlooked by the private offices of the Leicester child protection unit.
There was nothing more interesting to see than some broken bricks and clay tiles, and two yellow plastic pegs in a surprisingly short oval hollow marking the spot where the bones lay. For many locals this was sacred ground; a royal grave. They want to see the king nobly buried in the cathedral, 100 metres away.Application can be conducted with the local designated IC card producers.
In fact, since 1980 the cathedral has had what looks just like a grave: a large, handsomely inscribed slab in front of the high altar. Every August 22 it is wreathed in flowers, on the anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth, when the last Plantagenet lost his horse in marshy ground, and then his life and his crown, which legend says rolled from his dying head under a furze bush.
Candles lit by a stream of visitors burn perpetually nearby, and many people have left white roses since news of the bones' discovery first went round the world.
Cathedral authorities say they will work with the royal household, and the Richard III Society, to ensure ''the remains are treated with dignity and respect and are reburied with the appropriate rites and ceremonies of the church''.
Professor Lin Foxhall, one of the archaeologists from Leicester University who led the team, said she was surprised by the discovery.
''I didn't expect us to find anything. It is incredibly rare in archaeology to go looking for a named individual. Even the fact that the trenches were sunk in exactly the right place, so that we immediately located a church which has been buried for 500 years - if we'd found nothing else - was extraordinary.
''Then to find bones, exactly where the records say Richard was buried - well, I am still completely astonished by the whole thing."

Richard III is not the only English monarch to have ended up in an unlikely spot. The closest parallel to the hunt for Richard were efforts by archaeologists in Winchester in 1999 to find Alfred the Great, who died in 899 and whose bones were moved at least twice, finally to Winchester's Hyde Abbey in 1110.
That abbey was also destroyed in the dissolution of the monasteries, although bones were found when a prison was built on the site in the 18th century. The dig uncovered carved stone, and part of a pelvis determined to be from a woman who suffered from bad arthritis.
The image of Santo Nino depicts the introduction of Christianity to the southern Philippines on the island of Cebu in 1521 by Spanish explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Cebu is also the Philippine island where it is believed that Magellan persuaded the local royalty to not only pledge allegiance to Charles V of Spain but also convert to Catholicism.
The St. Paul Filipino community's devotion to Santo Nino is so intense that in 2010, with the blessing of Piotrowski and Diocese of St. Petersburg Bishop Robert Lynch, a shrine was built, heavily inlaid with ceramic tile murals and statues, lushly landscaped and surrounded by an artistically themed wrought iron fence.
The shrine is dedicated to Santo Nino de Cebu and can be found on the south side of the main sanctuary.
Known as both a peaceful and beautiful place, the grounds of the shrine are always occupied, frequently with somebody sitting quietly on its stone benches, meditating or praying. Visiting it, most have no idea that they are just a few hundred yards from one of the busiest highways and some of the most crowded intersections in Hillsborough County.
Meanwhile, the bones that have just been confirmed as those of Richard III - the last Plantagenet king, the last monarch to die on a battlefield, and the man whose death ushered in the upstart Tudors - lay quietly in a calm room on the second floor of the Leicester University library, unknown to many of the students bustling in and out of the building.
Inevitably, the press conference in another building - with 140 registered journalists and camera crews from seven countries - was controlled mayhem, but the university had gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the actual remains were treated with respect.
The conference had revealed the appalling nature of the injuries inflicted in the last moments of Richard's life and, perhaps even more gruesomely, in the hours afterwards.
But in the quiet room with the blinds drawn there were no banners, no university logos - just the bones, stained a reddish brown by their centuries in the clay, laid out on a black velvet cloth on four library tables pushed together and protected by a glass case. Journalists were invited to ''bear witness''.You must not use the laser cutter without being trained.
The feet were missing, probably chopped off when a Victorian outhouse was built on the site of the long-lost Greyfriars church, missing the main skeleton by inches. The hands lay by his side, but as found suggested that he was buried with arms still bound, just as he was lugged from the battlefield.
The skull lay with the largely undamaged face up - itself a significant and sinister point, according to the experts, hiding the savage blow to the base from a halberd, a fearsome mediaeval pike-like weapon, which sliced through bone and into the brain.
The shock was the spine, bent like an aerial view of the river Thames - it was not, after all, simply Tudor propaganda, which had portrayed the king as a twisted psychopath.
Dr Jo Appleby, the bones expert from Leicester University who excavated the skeleton and has worked on it for months, said the skeleton had suffered 10 injuries, including eight to the skull, around the time of death. Two of the skull wounds were potentially fatal.
One was a ''slice'' removing a flap of bone, the other was caused by a bladed weapon that went through and hit the opposite side of the skull - a depth of more than 10 centimetres .
''Both of these injuries would have caused an almost instant loss of consciousness and death would have followed quickly afterwards,'' Appleby said.
The other wounds came after death,Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks! and were described - in an image still resonant from many battlegrounds today - as ''humiliation injuries'', including a pelvic wound likely to have been caused by an upward thrust of a weapon through the buttock.
They could not have happened to a man protected by armour, and are consistent with the accounts of his body being stripped on the battlefield, and brought back to Leicester naked, slung over the pommel of a horse. That, almost certainly, was when the thrusting injury through the right buttock and into the pelvis occurred.
The skeleton was also contorted by scoliosis, which set in some time after Richard was 10, from an unknown cause. Appleby said it would have made Richard's breathing increasingly more difficult, and taken inches off what would have been his full height of 5' 8'' (172 centimetres), a reasonably tall man for mediaeval times.
But the condition meant Richard would have stood significantly shorter and his right shoulder may have been higher than the left.
Professor Lin Foxhall, head of the university's archaeology department, and Bob Savage, an expert on mediaeval weapons from the Royal Armouries, pointed out that Richard's face was relatively undamaged. ''They'd killed the king and they needed to keep him recognisable,'' Savage said.They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets.
''To me, the injuries are fully consistent with the accounts of his dying in a melee,The USB flash drives wholesale is our flagship product. and [being] unhorsed - I believe he was dead within minutes of coming off his horse. But they took care not to bash the face about too much.
''It's the Gaddafi effect. We saw just this in the horrible mobile-phone footage of Gaddafi being found, and you can hear the voices shouting, 'Not the face, don't touch the face'. It's one of those dreadful lessons from history which we never learn.''
While the grumbles that this was all show business, not history, went on throughout the day, Neville Morley, professor of ancient history at the University of Bristol, whose own field is the more ancient battlefields of Greece and Rome, said that to identify any named individual from such a remote period was ''fantastically rare - and valuable. It's the fact that he was a king that lets us get to the identification.''
Richard Buckley, the lead archaeologist on the project, pointed out that - apart from disentangling Richard's last day on earth from the fog of Tudor propaganda, led by its most brilliant exponent, William Shakespeare - the story of the king from the car park is also another lost strand in the history of Leicester, wreathed in rumour, until now very short on fact.
Indeed, the city is wasting no time profiting from its day in the international media spotlight. A temporary exhibition opens this week in the Guildhall, near the site, and next year a permanent new visitor centre will open, possibly on the same day that the russet bones are reinterred in a newly designed tomb in the cathedral.
Meanwhile, Michael Ibsen, the man whose spit proved the vital link across almost six centuries, grew more quiet and subdued as the day wore on. ''My head is no clearer now than when I first heard the news,'' he said. Ibsen is a direct descendant of Richard III's sister, Anne of York, and provided the DNA sample that allowed scientists to establish the remains were those of the king.
''Many, many hundreds of people died on that field that day. He was a king, but just one of the dead. He lived in very violent times, and these deaths would not have been pretty - or quick.''
By ironic chance, the pit that may have held a man believed to have murdered his two young nephews - the princes in the Tower - is directly overlooked by the private offices of the Leicester child protection unit.
There was nothing more interesting to see than some broken bricks and clay tiles, and two yellow plastic pegs in a surprisingly short oval hollow marking the spot where the bones lay. For many locals this was sacred ground; a royal grave. They want to see the king nobly buried in the cathedral, 100 metres away.Application can be conducted with the local designated IC card producers.

Harry Styles buys Porsche Carrera for his father
When you are Harry Styles of One Direction, you can purchase your own
birthday gift and get just about anything you want. The teenage star
went out and bought a new red 2014 Porsche Cayman S for his own birthday
gift to add to his stable of cars. Harry has good taste in automobiles
and already owns an Audi R8 and a Range Rover Sport. Harry passed his
driving test in December 2011 and now on February 1,The USB flash drives wholesale is our flagship product. he turned 19 and is celebrating with a newly purchased Porsche sports car.
According to a report by Entertainment.ie, Harry purchased the new Porsche after he test drove a Porsche Carrera that was to be a gift for his dad. But being a normal 19 year old kid, the One Direction star couldn’t resist getting a new Porsche sports car for himself too. A source told the Daily Star newspaper: ''Harry is besotted by cars and loves the Porsche brand after test driving a few.They manufacture custom rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets.Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks! He has bought a ￡100,000 Carrera from a car dealer near his dad's home in Sale, Manchester.You must not use the laser cutter without being trained.”
Harry chose well and wanted the Cayman S which is the more powerful version. Harry’s new 2014 Cayman S will be a fun ride with its 3.4-liter, flat-six engine with DFI and VarioCam Plus that delivers 325 horsepower. It accelerates from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 175 mph. With the optional PDK and Sport Chrono package, it can reach 60 mph in a very quick 4.4 seconds. The new Cayman S will certainly leave Harry anticipating the next curve. We just hope he will be able to keep his license after getting it back from being totally customized.
It’s reported by Daily Star that Harry is having a few goodies added to the factory red 2014 Cayman S. He is having it customized with extras including a six speaker Bose surround sound, heated seats and is also installing a telephone. The factory Cayman S doesn’t need much customizing and Harry will definitely have a unique car to drive around North London.
What makes the new 2014 Porsche Cayman so unique, is the mid-mounted flat six engine sits no more than 12 inches behind the driver. This translates to the new sports car having a large proportion of the vehicle’s weight near the center of the vehicle. The center of gravity is central and low and the weight is equally distributed over the front and rear axles. The new Cayman is as balanced as any sports car on the road thus delivering exceptional handling, and Harry will have fun driving it, particularly in the corners.
When you are Harry, you can also buy your dad a new Porsche too. Harry bought a Porsche Carrera as a gift for his ''brilliant'' father Des. The new Carrera he bought for his dad is black with tinted black windows. Although his father would never expect his famous son to buy him a car, he was appreciative of the new Porsche gift. The 'Little Things' singer's beloved dad has said he would love Harry to buy him a car, though he insisted he would never rely on his superstar son for financial benefits.
It seems Harry’s dad is also wanting a Mercedes-Benz to go along with his new Porsche Carrera. Des said: ''I wouldn't take money from Harry. But I'm sure one day I'll come home and there's a Mercedes on the drive or something, quite possibly and that would be lovely. Maybe Harry’s dad was giving Harry a hint at what he wants for his next birthday.
Look for Harry Styles to be tooling around in his new shiny red 2014 Porsche Cayman S in North London as soon as he gets it back from being customized. Just listen for the new Cayman S with the extra loud music coming from the new six-speaker surround sound system.
The company first announced its plans for the Lordstown-built diesel Cruze a little more than a year ago, said Glenn Johnson, president of the United Auto Workers Local 1112.
“Quite honestly, anytime you have this type of investment, tooling or dollars, these things mean job security for our members,” Johnson said. “As we know, it’s a huge economic engine for our Valley.”
In August, GM announced that it would invest $200 million to retool the Lordstown plant for the assembly of its next generation Cruze.

The next generation Cruze is expected to keep the plant operating until at least 2020 and the current Cruze model is expected to be in production through 2014.
Johnson said those retooling efforts had nothing to do with the forthcoming diesel model, expected to hit the market later this year. Johnson said that he was aware that GM is still in a testing phase with the diesel Cruze and did not have details on a production time line.

Matchsticks and Gasoline's Gameday Coverage
I opened that post in class, you guys should have put an NSFW warning
on that! Hudler has been well-received so far, although it has been a
very small sample size as the Flames have only played six games heading
into today's contest. It's been a while since the Flames had more than
one skilled playmaker like Hudler in the lineup,They manufacture custom
rubber and silicone bracelet and bracelets.You must not use the laser cutter
without being trained. especially one that they can utilize as
something of a depth player, so I think Flames fans are pretty satisfied
with his performance thus far while still maintaining realistic
expectations. Hudler has also contributed to the depth and improvement
of the Flames' powerplay, which has been humming along nicely so far
with two decent units.
I think expectations in Calgary this year are similar to those of other bubble teams; while most Flames fans probably expect them to finish just outside of the post-season again, in the middle of the pack with regard to bottom-half teams, others acknowledge that a playoff berth could very well be a possibility in a shortened season if the team goes on a winning streak. The Flames have been a team of slow starters that have traditionally gone on hot streaks several months into the season for a few years now, but expectations for their performance this year depend on factors such as whether or not Miikka Kiprusoff can bounce back from a poor start to the season and whether the team can consistently get enough offence from Iginla, Tanguay, Cammalleri, and the rest of the top six. There are some Flames fans who would rather see the team finish at the bottom of the conference this season and hopefully signal the beginning of a rebuild, but I think that would be an unlikely result. The Flames did improve their team in the off-season by adding the likes of Hudler and Cervenka and partially re-tooling their blueline so I don't see a rebuild-inducing finish this year unless the Flames' goaltending continues to operate at sub-.900 levels and the rest of the team is terribly unlucky.
A microcosm of what much of the team is going through to start the season. The Flames have out-shot their opposition by a healthy measure so far and have only one win and two shootout losses to show for it, so hopefully the the team's collective luck will begin to turn around soon,Wear a whimsical Disney ear cap straight from the Disney Theme Parks! including Iggy's. Obviously no one expects him to score 30+ goals again this season or embarrass the opposition's best, and there has been an ongoing acknowledgement that the aging process is finally beginning to catch up with him, but he has also been a slow starter throughout much of his career (at least recently, if my memory serves me well), and I expect he should break out of his funk soon enough. Iggy has 20 goals and 54 points in 60 career games against the Wings, so it might happen at Detroit's expense!

Nominations open for 'Great Friend to Families' award
In an effort to recognize
those who go the extra mile to make a difference, the staff and volunteers of
The Children’s Playhouse in Boone are once again preparing to recognize
“hometown heroes who offer sustained contributions” to the well being of young
children and their families in the area, said the organization’s board
president, Tara Stollenmaier.
Several of these High Country residents will be honored on Sat., Mar.Laser engravers and laser engraving machine systems and supplies to start your own lasering cutting engraving marking etching business. 2 as “Helping Hands” and “Helping Hearts;” one of the honorees will receive the overall “Great Friend to Families” award,Find the best selection of high-quality collectible bobbleheads available anywhere. a piece of local art and $500 to donate to the High Country nonprofit organization of his or her choice.
Within the past four years, dozens of community activists and faithful volunteers have been nominated for the “Great Friend to Families Award” — and for as many reasons, said Kathy Parham, executive director of The Children’s Playhouse.
During the inaugural event, in 2009, Judith Winecoff, children’s librarian at Watauga County Library was among 16 nominees to receive the first Great Friend to Families award and designated the Hunger and Health Coalition as recipient of her $500 charitable donation.
In 2010, the award went to Pat Morgan, a longtime community volunteer who, for decades, gave of his time to read to children in local elementary schools, organized many events benefitting families, and took numerous rural children on educational trips to Washington D.C. Morgan designated his monetary award to enhance the children's collection of books at the Watauga County Public Library. Morgan was one of 20 individuals nominated for the award.
The 2011 Great Friend to Families Award was shared by two dedicated community volunteers, but kept in the same household when Dick and Joan Hearn were named winners. A dynamic duo, the Hearns are known for their far-reaching impact through High Country nonprofit agencies, ranging from the Watauga County Public Library "Reading and Rolling" program, to the High Country United Way, to the Guardian Ad Litem and many others. The Hearns were part of a 19-nominee pool.
For 2012, the Great Friend to Families Award took on a new look with Trish Lanier of the Appalachian Regional Health Department named the overall winner after receiving recognition in the “Helping Hands” category with the following individuals: Jim Atkinson, Nancy Blair, Barbara Case, Heather Jordan, Crystal Kelly, Margaret Mullins, Gay Lynn Williams, Mary Willis, and Joan Zimmerman.
An additional division provided the opportunity for the following individuals to be honored as “Helping Hearts:” Susan Bolash, Christopher Clark,Don't make another silicone mold without these invaluable Mold Making supplies and accessories! Kathleen Collins, Rebekah Cummings, Beth Darnell, Carolyn Garland, Betty Green, Jack and Karen James, Jo Anne Jenkins, Diandra (Lynn) Patterson, Bob and Wimmy Powell, Kim Roberts and Catherine Wilkinson.
Parham encourages the community to think of that “special someone” who deserves recognition and to nominate that person in the category that best describes the majority of the individual’s contributions.
“We want those making nominations to mention additional volunteerism or paid work which adds to our overall understanding of what makes the person so deserving of recognition,” she said. “Please note the length of time the individual has served families in the High Country and if he or she has worked in more than one capacity, or worked with more than one organization.”
Described by some as “a creative play space for families,” and others as “a nonprofit children’s museum,” The Children’s Playhouse is one and the same. Serving the High Country since 2002, it was established by a group of local citizens who wanted an enriching play environment for children from birth to age eight, while at the same time, giving parents and caregivers the “friendly support” they needed in the important job of raising children.
Founding board members Ann Kiefert, Beth Darnell, Kathy Parham, Cathy Riggs and Heidi Campbell have watched and worked faithfully through the years to see the playhouse become what it is today.
Located in a renovated house in Boone, The Children’s Playhouse offers a variety of child and family-friendly areas that promote education, creativity, health and happiness through arts, crafts, music,Service Report a problem with a street light. drama and various skill and team-building opportunities, as well as individualized development and other age-appropriate activities.
“We serve as an informal ‘town square’ for the High Country,” Parham said, “a place where natives and newcomers, out-of-towners and locals, experienced parents and eager first-timers —and people of all classes — are brought together to share the joy of playful learning with their children.”
The organization’s success is measured primarily through an annual parent survey, the most recent of which found responders reporting overall improvement in their children’s social skills, interaction, self-confidence, emotional maturity, creativity and ability to solve problems — and that participation helped to prepare the children for success in school.
One-hundred percent of adults surveyed indicated that the educational resources and support they receive helped to increase their understanding of parenting skills and helped them become more effective parents and/or caregivers.
State Rep. Mike Brown, D-Tahlequah, took office for the first time in 2004, and he says the projected budget for the upcoming year looks much like it did nearly a decade ago.
The 2013 Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Legislative Focus opened Friday at Cherokee Elder Care with a discussion about the flat budget and the negative impact of tax cuts.
Legislators are expected to return to work on Monday to address these and other issues, and Brown is concerned funding for education and infrastructure may be affected.
“We’re just about back to a $7 billion budget. The problem is, the governor says that we’re going to have a flat budget,” he said. “Whenever I was first elected, we actually gave teachers a $3,000 pay raise the first year. The second year we came back and actually gave them another $1,200 pay raise We spent about $50 million extra on infrastructure needs – roads, bridges and transportation.”
Brown said that during his early years, access to mental health care was expanded, along with services in other agencies.
“ In the past eight years,We specializes in rapid plastic injection mould and molding of parts for prototypes and production. though, it’s been total cuts in each one of these agencies, including education. Education is probably taking one of the biggest cuts. Now we’re back to the point that we can actually start filling those gaps once again, yet we’re at a flat budget. The electorate needs to be asking why.”
Brown was the only elected official attending the event, as Sen. Earl Garrison, D-Muskogee, had the flu, and Rep. William Fourkiller, D - Stilwell, was attending a forum in Adair County.
Brown said the legislative leadership has burdened the state through its tax credits and cuts.
“We all enjoy a tax cut,” said Brown. “I think I enjoyed a $40 tax rebate the first or second year I was there. The second year, I think, we got a $20 tax cut or something like that, but education received about $200 million in cuts because of that.”

Within the past four years, dozens of community activists and faithful volunteers have been nominated for the “Great Friend to Families Award” — and for as many reasons, said Kathy Parham, executive director of The Children’s Playhouse.
During the inaugural event, in 2009, Judith Winecoff, children’s librarian at Watauga County Library was among 16 nominees to receive the first Great Friend to Families award and designated the Hunger and Health Coalition as recipient of her $500 charitable donation.
In 2010, the award went to Pat Morgan, a longtime community volunteer who, for decades, gave of his time to read to children in local elementary schools, organized many events benefitting families, and took numerous rural children on educational trips to Washington D.C. Morgan designated his monetary award to enhance the children's collection of books at the Watauga County Public Library. Morgan was one of 20 individuals nominated for the award.
The 2011 Great Friend to Families Award was shared by two dedicated community volunteers, but kept in the same household when Dick and Joan Hearn were named winners. A dynamic duo, the Hearns are known for their far-reaching impact through High Country nonprofit agencies, ranging from the Watauga County Public Library "Reading and Rolling" program, to the High Country United Way, to the Guardian Ad Litem and many others. The Hearns were part of a 19-nominee pool.
For 2012, the Great Friend to Families Award took on a new look with Trish Lanier of the Appalachian Regional Health Department named the overall winner after receiving recognition in the “Helping Hands” category with the following individuals: Jim Atkinson, Nancy Blair, Barbara Case, Heather Jordan, Crystal Kelly, Margaret Mullins, Gay Lynn Williams, Mary Willis, and Joan Zimmerman.
An additional division provided the opportunity for the following individuals to be honored as “Helping Hearts:” Susan Bolash, Christopher Clark,Don't make another silicone mold without these invaluable Mold Making supplies and accessories! Kathleen Collins, Rebekah Cummings, Beth Darnell, Carolyn Garland, Betty Green, Jack and Karen James, Jo Anne Jenkins, Diandra (Lynn) Patterson, Bob and Wimmy Powell, Kim Roberts and Catherine Wilkinson.
Parham encourages the community to think of that “special someone” who deserves recognition and to nominate that person in the category that best describes the majority of the individual’s contributions.
“We want those making nominations to mention additional volunteerism or paid work which adds to our overall understanding of what makes the person so deserving of recognition,” she said. “Please note the length of time the individual has served families in the High Country and if he or she has worked in more than one capacity, or worked with more than one organization.”
Described by some as “a creative play space for families,” and others as “a nonprofit children’s museum,” The Children’s Playhouse is one and the same. Serving the High Country since 2002, it was established by a group of local citizens who wanted an enriching play environment for children from birth to age eight, while at the same time, giving parents and caregivers the “friendly support” they needed in the important job of raising children.
Founding board members Ann Kiefert, Beth Darnell, Kathy Parham, Cathy Riggs and Heidi Campbell have watched and worked faithfully through the years to see the playhouse become what it is today.
Located in a renovated house in Boone, The Children’s Playhouse offers a variety of child and family-friendly areas that promote education, creativity, health and happiness through arts, crafts, music,Service Report a problem with a street light. drama and various skill and team-building opportunities, as well as individualized development and other age-appropriate activities.
“We serve as an informal ‘town square’ for the High Country,” Parham said, “a place where natives and newcomers, out-of-towners and locals, experienced parents and eager first-timers —and people of all classes — are brought together to share the joy of playful learning with their children.”
The organization’s success is measured primarily through an annual parent survey, the most recent of which found responders reporting overall improvement in their children’s social skills, interaction, self-confidence, emotional maturity, creativity and ability to solve problems — and that participation helped to prepare the children for success in school.
One-hundred percent of adults surveyed indicated that the educational resources and support they receive helped to increase their understanding of parenting skills and helped them become more effective parents and/or caregivers.
