Cupid Stunt July 13, 2021 Share July 13, 2021 (edited) This advertisement from Vermont granite company Rock of Ages, featuring views of their majestic quarry accompanied by soaring opera, is way better than any commercial for a local quarry has any right to be. The Quarryman’s Symphony, an all-time favorite video about the hand signals used by a quarry boss guiding his marble harvesting crews. When I tell you that this short film about the hand gestures used by a quarry boss guiding massive excavators harvesting marble is well worth watching, you’re gonna go ahead and watch it, right? Because this is a beautiful little film. I was so taken by the chief, watching him work. How he can move gigantic marble blocks using enormous excavators, but his own movements are light, precise and determined. Notice the tips of two fingers are missing. That’s how you get to be the boss More hand gestures: Chicago has closed many open outcry trading pits in favor of digital trading, this oral history preserves the unofficial sign language traders developed to communicate their orders in the noisy chaos of the Merc. HAND SIGNALS AT THE STORK CLUB -- A Continuous Lean found some great Life magazine photos of Sherman Billingsley, the owner of a famous NYC nightclub called The Stork Club, which club was frequented by celebrities, artists, and the well-to-do from 1929 to 1965. In the photos, Billingsley is pictured at his club giving secret hand signals to his assistant while sitting with guests. Billingsley’s signals cleverly allowed the club to provide seamless good service to his favored patrons while also letting him be the bad guy with less favorable customers without them knowing it. Billingsley went on to be the third base coach for the Yankees in the late 60s. (Untrue.)

peacheslatour July 13, 2021 Share July 13, 2021 Just now, OhioSongbird said: I want leftovers! I invented what I think is a new mini quiche yesterday. This is for people who like Hollandaise over shell fish and/or asparagus. You take ready made pie crust, cut in small circles (I used a wine glass) place them in a 24 count mini muffin pan. Place tiny shrimp (or even better, if you can get it, crab) some steamed asparagus and some lemon zest. Pour your egg/cream/milk mixture over them and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 375F for twenty five to 30 min. Serve warm or at room temp.They make yummy appetizers but they're very rich. 1 2 Link to comment

Snaporaz July 14, 2021 Share July 14, 2021 I once saw Martha Stewart make something called Atlantic Beach Pie. It was just a lemon pie, but it had a crust made of saltine crackers, and it was topped with lightly salted whipped cream instead of meringue. I was intrigued, so I made it for the 4th. Dang, it was good! Apparently, it's a classic in North Carolina, but I'd never heard of it before. 3 1 Link to comment

Cupid Stunt July 17, 2021 Share July 17, 2021 Reuters journalist killed covering clash between Afghan forces, Taliban Danish Siddiqui, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist for Reuters, was killed on Friday while covering a skirmish between Afghan security forces and the Taliban, the media outlet confirmed. Both Siddiqui and a senior Afghan officer were killed in what an Afghan commander described as Taliban crossfire, according to Reuters, amid efforts by Afghan forces to retake the main market area of Spin Boldak — a border town in the southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. Siddiqui, who this week began work embedded with Afghan forces based in Kandahar, had told Reuters earlier Friday that he had been wounded in the arm by shrapnel during the fighting. He was reportedly recovering from the injury as Taliban fighters retreated from Spin Boldak. But the Taliban launched a new attack as Siddiqui was talking to shopkeepers in the area, the Afghan commander told Reuters. The media outlet could not independently verify the details of the second clash that resulted in Siddiqui’s death. In a tweet on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki expressed “our condolences to @dansiddiqui’s family, loved ones, and colleagues at @Reuters.” “Journalists should be able to do their vital work safely and free from repression or fear of persecution,” she wrote. “The senseless violence in Afghanistan must stop.” Earlier this week, Siddiqui posted a harrowing Twitter thread documenting his time with Afghan forces as they embarked on a rescue mission in Kandahar, with the goal of extracting a wounded policeman trapped by Taliban fighters. Among the photos Siddiqui included in his messages was a brief video capturing the moment a Taliban-fired rocket made contact with the Humvee in which he and Afghan forces were traveling to the extraction point. Their mission was ultimately successful. One of Siddiqui’s final photos showed him laying on a patch of green grass with his eyes closed, as two Afghan soldiers sat cross-legged nearby. “Got a 15 minute break during almost 15 hours of back to back missions,” he wrote in the accompanying tweet. Siddiqui joined Retuers in 2010 and was part of its team of photojournalists that won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for their work documenting Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar. In a statement, Reuters President Michael Friedenberg and Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Galloni said they were “urgently seeking more information” about Siddiqui’s death and “working with authorities in the region.” “Danish was an outstanding journalist, a devoted husband and father, and a much-loved colleague,” Friedenberg and Galloni said. “Our thoughts are with his family at this terrible time.” On Wednesday, the Taliban said it had seized the strategic border crossing where Siddiqui was killed, after already claiming last Friday that it had gained control of 85 percent of Afghanistan’s territory. In the last week alone, the Islamic fundamentalist group has taken over nearly 10 percent of Afghanistan, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and it now controls 195 of the country’s 407 districts — while contesting another 129. The United States in the final stages of a full military withdrawal from Afghanistan, with Gen. Scott Miller — the top American commander there — departing the country on Monday. President Joe Biden announced last Thursday that the U.S. mission in Afghanistan would conclude on Aug. 31, ahead of his self-imposed drawdown deadline of Sept. 11. Link to comment

Cupid Stunt July 18, 2021 Share July 18, 2021 Biz Markie, known for classic rap song ‘Just a Friend,’ dies Biz Markie, a hip-hop staple known for his beatboxing prowess, turntable mastery and the 1989 classic “Just a Friend,” has died. He was 57. Markie’s representative, Jenni Izumi, said the rapper-DJ died peacefully Friday evening with his wife by his side. The cause of death has not been released. “We are grateful for the many calls and prayers of support that we have received during this difficult time,” Izumi said in a statement. “Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years. He leaves behind a wife, many family members and close friends who will miss his vibrant personality, constant jokes and frequent banter.” Markie, who birth name was Marcel Theo Hall, became known within the rap genre realm as the self-proclaimed “Clown Prince of Hip-Hop” for his lighthearted lyrics and humorous nature. He made music with the Beastie Boys, opened for Chris Rock’s comedy tour and was a sought-after DJ for countless star-studded events. The New York-native’s music career began in 1985 as a beat boxer of the Juice Crew, a rap collective he helped Big Daddy Kane join. Three years later, he released his debut album “Goin’ Off,” which featured underground hits “Vapors” and “Pickin’ Boogers.” Markie broke into mainstream music with his platinum-selling song “Just a Friend,” the lead single on his sophomore album “The Biz Never Sleeps.” The friend-zone anthem cracked Rolling Stone’s top 100 pop songs and made VH1’s list of 100 greatest hip-hop songs of all time. “This one hurts baad ... RIP to my Aries bro…” Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest said on Twitter, where an outpouring of mourning for Markie was growing, “ahhh man @BizMarkie damn im gonna miss u so so many memories.” Questlove said he learned from Markie early in his career. “Biz built me man,” Questlove posted on Instagram along with a picture of him and Markie. “In my early early stages it was Biz who taught me the REAL places to cop records….Biz taught me what cities had good digging…..Biz taught me where to collect 45s……Biz taught me where to collect 8TRACK TAPES!!” After two successful albums, Markie was served with a copyright infringement lawsuit for a song on his third studio album “I Need a Haircut” in 1991. He and his label, Warner Bros Records, were sued by Irish singer Gilbert O’Sullivan who claimed that elements from his 1972 hit “Alone Again (Naturally)” were illegally sampled in Markie’s “Alone Again” The judge ruled to halt further distribution of the album, which was reissued without the illegal track. The judgment also changed the landscape of music sampling by dictating they were preapproved by the original owner. Despite the setback, Markie released his fourth album “All Samples Cleared!” in 1993 that was an apparent reference to the court battle. He released his final album “Weekend Warrior” a decade later. Markie kept his name relevant as he consistently booked more than 175 shows a year, according to the rapper’s website. He’s appeared on television shows including “In Living Color,” “Empire” along with “black-ish” and the 2002 movie “Men in Black II,” in which he played an alien parody of himself in the film starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Markie also taught the method of beatboxing in an episode of the children’s show “Yo Gabba Gabba!” “We lost another Rap legend Mr. Biz Markie,” Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins tweeted. “To a lot of us he was more than Just a Friend.” Go with God, Marcel. 1 Link to comment

deirdra July 22, 2021 Share July 22, 2021 (edited) I stopped being interested in the space race when Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Ed White burned and suffocated to death in an electrical fire inside the Apollo 1 command module at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1967. That was about the same time that I learned that Laika the Russian Space Dog was left to starve and suffocate to death (they showed videos of frolicking Laika after the mission, implying that she had a nice trip, but those were all taken before she left Earth to die in space). I never watched any launches after that and waited to read in the newspaper if they were successful or not. Especially when I had a premonition that after all the hoopla, Christa McAuliffe and the rest of the Challenger crew would explode into smithereens. Edited July 22, 2021 by deirdra 2 Link to comment

Play, play, play, purr, purr purr, sleep, sleep sleep. Our boy cat, Nathan and she have come to an understanding: She does whatever she wants and he lets her. I wish I knew how to post pics from my phone on here. 3 5 Link to comment

Thank you. It's kind of a funny story. I was scrolling through the front page on Reddit and I saw her pic with this headline "This little angel just waltzed into our house this morning". Just this little, tiny thing. I went into the thread to congratulate them on getting a tortie and I see they can't keep her. On a whim I asked where they live and is it anywhere near Seattle. They're in Portland! And it just so happened that my DH was going to be in Battleground to visit his sister. We started talking and exchanged phone numbers and before I knew it there was a plan for them to meet him with the kitten the next morning. The nicest people in the world, they drove forty miles just so a stray kitten could have a good home. 9 Link to comment
