The Count Basie Theatre
Opened on November 11, 1926 as a vaudeville theater and cinema, The Count Basie began life as The Carlton. It drew crowds until 1970, when highways and malls drew the crowds away from downtowns. In 1973, a significant private donation enabled the Monmouth County Arts Council to purchase the building. It was re-named after jazz great and Red Bank native William James "Count" Basie in 1984. The Count Basie Theatre became an independent non-profit corporation in 1999.
Although it has undergone almost continuous renovations during the past three decades, the theater still uses its original act curtains. It needs deeper repairs, for example, its splendid plasterwork needs renovation, and so the theater will be closed for renovations in summer 2008. Meanwhile, it hosts some of the best acts you'll see anywhere.
During the summer of 2008, the Count Basie Theatre closed for an $8 million dollar renovation that included restoration of the plasterwork, decorative painting, infrastructure and HVAC work, new carpeting and lighting fixtures, new bars and merchandise counters, and the addition of a new VIP patron lounge.
Tony Bennett has called it, “My favorite place.” Art Garfunkel said, “This hall is to a singer what Steinway is to a pianist.” Lyle Lovett said, “This is one of the nicest sounding rooms in the whole United States of America.” The venue is the award winning Count Basie Theatre, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a Major Presenting Organization for the State of New Jersey, by Pollstar Magazine as one of the Top 100 Worldwide Theatre Venues, and by Contribute Magazine as one of their Top 200 Investor-Worthy Charities.
Disabled activists hold '10,000 Cuts and Counting' memorial outside Parliament - London 27.09.2013
Disability rights activists from DPAC and WOW Petition held a memorial for the more than 10,000 disabled and sick people who died shortly after or during their Work Capability Assessments at the hands of controversial French IT company ATOS, at the behest of the Department for Work and Pensions. The event was led by the Dean of St Pauls Cathedral, Dr David Ison, and human rights campaigner Mohammed Ansar, and took place in front of a carpet of white flowers laid on Parliament Square to represent the tragic victims of the Coalition government's ideological brutality and unutterable cruelty towards the sick, the disabled and the dying.
The various speakers included Michael Meacher MP, John McDonnell MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Ellen Clifford (Inclusion London), Paula Peters (DPAC), Clare Glasman (WinVisible), Ian Jones (WOW Petition), Wayne Beckman (WOW Petition), Ian Chamberlain (WOW Petition), Dr Louise Irvine, Michael Horne and Dickie Upton.

The fellow in the purple fez is Count Smokula, a regular at the Doo Dah Parade. I had tried to snap a photo of him and the genie (magician? wizard? fortune teller?) but they were surrounded by photographers and videographers for much of the parade. I finally managed to capture this shot with my long lens but I never got them full-frame. I would have loved to get a full view of those shoes!

The seal is attached to a document of 1302 in which the count settles a dispute regarding goods in the village of Kortessem that were granted to the Commandery of Alden Biesen.
Arnold V of Loon is depicted in full panoply of an early 14th century knight.
Note the sword being attached to Arnold’s body by a chain, possibly indicating a coat-of-plates worn over the hauberk and under the surcoat. The shield’s guige hangs around the count’s neck. Ailettes are worn on the back (!) of his shoulders. The crest, in the shape of a wyvern, is also worn on the horse’s head. Note the very large mantle falling down from the great helm’s crest. Such mantles were common (at least on seals) during the late 13th and early 14th century.
The coat of arms of Loon, ‘barry of 10 Or and gules’, is depicted on the shield, saddle and caparison of the horse.
The Chiny coat of arms of ‘gules crusily fitchy two barbels addorsed Or’ is also present on a small shield, which can be seen just above the sword.
Another seal of Arnold of Loon, attached to the Charter of Kortenberg of 1312 can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/40586500623/in/album-72...

The highly detailed effigy of count Gottfried IV von Arnsberg (+1371), made around or shortly after his death by the 'Master of the St. Peter Portal Apostle'.
The armour depicted shows the typical German style of the years between 1360 and 1380: a diverse combination of much mail and plate (or cuir bouilli), an already globose breast of the coat of plates, a jupon, and retention chains. By 1380 full plate for the limbs would become generally more adopted, a trend that started much earlier in England and France.
The count wears (Westphalian/North Western German) armour of the 1360s:
- a rounded bascinet with a camail attached by vervelles on a very decorative band
- a jupon with edges ending in trefoils, probably worn over a coat of plates, depicting the Arnsberg arms: the eagle being 'canting arms', a pun on the Middle Low German word for eagle. 'Arend' is still the present-day Dutch word; 'Adler' being the High German word.
- three retention chains for the sword, dagger and great helm are attached to the breast
- a hauberk with three-quarter sleeves and a skirt ending in four points (front, sides, behind)
- a decorative hip belt; the bronze dagger and sword are more recent replacements
- splinted vambraces (similar to www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/8602415024/in/album-721... ), worn under the mail sleeves, and early hourglass gauntlets
- rerebraces, attached by points, which are apparently typical for Western Germany/Westphalia; compare to those seen in the almost contemporary Osnabrücker Altar: www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/51117835883/in/album-72...
- plate (?) cuisses made up of two parts, the upper part ending in a toothed edge
- poleyns with early wings worn over those cuisses and mail cuisses as well (?) (the edge is visible), which are worn over mail chausses with narrow indented greaves (similar to the rerebraces)
- narrow sabatons on the feet and rowel spurs
Note the crested tournament helm (with an eagle and hearts) on the sides of the tomb.

The BNF's advice is to use foods low in energy density to make up the bulk of your diet. These are foods lower than 1.5 calories per gram and include baked beans, boiled eggs, or vegetable stir-fry with noodles.You can work this out by dividing the number of calories by the weight of your food. So your 180g sandwich with 360 calories has 2 calories per gram.As such it falls into the category of medium energy density foods, which also include lasagne, pizza steak and salmon. "You need to control the portion sizes of these foods and eat them alongside lots of lower energy density foods," says Bridget Benelam, a nutrition scientist at the BNF. Anyone for afters - these puddings both contain 215 calories Meanwhile foods high in energy density such as crackers, biscuits, crisps, peanuts and chocolate should, perhaps unsurprisingly, be eaten in very small quantities.However even when it comes to puddings, there's room to fill up. Instead of a couple of pieces of chocolate, try a chocolate mousse, the BNF suggests.And while you could go for a small bowl of strawberries and cream, go for mixed berries with low fat yogurt, crunchy oat cereal and honey.Feeling full The suggestion that foods high in water keep us feeling fuller for longer is increasingly substantiated by research.The idea is that the combination of food blended with water empties more slowly from the stomach than solid food on its own with a glass of water to wash it down.Pumping food with air may also increase feelings of being full.Catherine Collins, a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, said "feeding yourself fuller" was aninteresting concept."We are getting to a point now where people realise that more fruit and vegetables are the way to go and more luxurious foods should be saved for indulgence."But people still need to take in all the major groups - and starchy foods, meat and fish have to play a role."Salmon for instance is an important source of healthy fats."However, it's good advice to pad out your meals with foods lower in energy. "When you look down at dinner time, vegetables should be taking up a lot of room.A simple method of weight loss that you can try is drinking plenty of water as much as 8 glasses a day. Proper diet is focused on natural food intake. There are different abs preparation and abs training techniques that will help achieve washboard abs. The very deepest layer is the transversus abdominis, which acts as the body's girdle, providing support and stability and plays a critical role in exhalation. Closest to the surface are the internal and external obliques, which turn the trunk and provide the body with rotation and lateral movement. Exercise alone is great for expending calories, but without watching your diet, it's going to be a long, slow road to getting a six-pack.Congrats on taking the first step into your healthy lifestyle. All the areas you are talking will only trim down with healthy food choices. Machines are meant to focus/target muscle groups to tone the muscle or make it bigger/stronger. But by all means use the machines since it will increase your muscle and in return burn more calories which will help you lose burn fat. A sure way to get rid of does spots is a mix of strength training to get lean muscle and a good cardio routine to speed up the fat burning process. Hit me up at my youtube account with any questions and if you would like me to help you achieve your goal. Adios
Arteth counts coins that have been hammered into the trunk of a fallen tree - she found five or six trees like this over the week. I've not seen this elsewhere.
Wikipedia's page on Wish Trees mention Penrith, which is near Keswick, so this could be a local tradition, but it's worth bearing in mind that Keswick gets a lot of foreign tourists - for all I know, this could have been done by people from Hungary, Japan or London.
Update: This page has examples in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, so it does seem to be a tradition in northern England.
Arteth's images are here in Coins In Trees
Looking at pages of Peter Koch's edition of Joseph Brodsky's Watermark. Venice, 2008
I'm not positive I took this picture.* It may have been taken by Peter's wife Susan Filter. I found it among my photos of Venice, and I know I was sitting right there, but the size of the image suggests it might not have come from my camera. Still I thought it ought to be shared, so I gave it a polish and here it is! It was an amazing afternoon; the light from the water three stories below were dancing across the fresco behind the Count.
Brodsky was a guest in this palazzo while writing Watermark.
Here's Peter on the same trip. I definitely took that one!
*Postscript: I have now confirmed the original file definitely came from Susan's camera!
Rhyming text that repeats and is predictable introduces families of animals. It starts with one animal and builds to a family of 10 animals. Animals that live in a meadow are presented which includes: turtle, red fox, robin, chipmunk, honeybee, beaver, frog/pollywogs, owl, spiders and rabbits.
At the end the musical score for singing this as a song and all the lyrics are printed.
The illustrations are lovely and unique. Some are full colored and others are pencil-gray with a yellowish color.

Caring Counts: Ambassador Winant and the Special Relationship. A lecture by Ambassador Matthew Barzun at the US Embassy London, 7 December 2016.
I love the rest stops in the U. S. They are plentiful, clean and usually picturesque. This one is at Santiam Oregon which is about eight miles north of Albany. It is almost 11 and we had been on the road for about eight hours. We stopped for breakfast just outside Portland for an hour. The weather has turned beautiful but there is still snow on the ground. In this photo you will see a homeless woman leaning against the wall. When I saw her it really struck me how fortunate I was to be on this holiday. Most people in our crowded world don't get a chance ever to leave the place they are born in. I gave her twenty dollars, wished her a good day and send a silent prayer of thanks. Then I skipped back to the car with a song in my heart!
