In his theory, seven-eighths of a story is “underwater” for every part that shows, so the reader is only getting a small portion of a bigger picture, but still gets the feel of the big picture.

Reg jacked it up anyway. When Clem slid the sleeve back on the hitch it came off the ball like a monkey touchin’ a hot plate. The nose of the trailer shot four feet in the air, rolled forward and creased the pickup’s tailgate…permanently. It still won’t open.

Kelly Slater, who is forty-six, is the best surfer in history. He’s won eleven world titles. He was the youngest-ever world champion and the oldest-ever world champion. When he stormed into the competitive spotlight, in the late eighties, I couldn’t understand what he was doing. He seemed to be always recovering from nearly falling off his board. Slater had grown up riding Florida’s small, scarce waves, and emerged with a style built to stuff the maximum number of hyper-athletic maneuvers into the least possible space. As he surfed better waves, the power and the creativity of his surfing deepened, until he dominated the pro circuit so completely that he grew bored and retired. A few years later, he returned to full-time competition and won five more world titles.

Actors in ‘80s movies wielded tape decks and boom boxes to advance their storylines:  "Say Anything," "Fame" and "Fatal Attraction" are just three examples among a horde.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” – President John F. Kennedy, 1962.

Powell’s POV: A time filling six-woman tag match, but we’ve come a long way since the Santa’s Little Helper matches we used to get from WWE during Christmas week. I assume the post match attack by Riott Squad leads to another six-woman tag match on the New Year’s Eve show.

All of us at Jazz Standard are proud and pleased to welcome back a true modern master of the jazz art, Joe Lovano, for his first appearance on our stage in several years. The saxophonist’s latest release is Classic! Live At Newport – his 20th and final album for Blue Note Records – and this engagement will pair his golden horn with the wonderfully adept rhythm section of pianist Lawrence Fields, bassist Peter Slavov, and drummer Lamy Istrefi Jr. As a leader, Joe Lovano has released some 26 albums since 1985′s Tones, Shapes & Colors (Soul Note) including his GRAMMY Award–winning 52nd Street Themes (Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, 2000). As a sideman, he’s worked with some of the best in the business including Steve Kuhn, Charlie Haden, and especially drummer Paul Motian with whom Lovano recorded seventeen albums from 1982–2006. "Lovano…fully justifies the growing view of him as an important, world–class jazz talent." (Los Angeles Times) "The tenor titan for our times!" (AllMusic) Joe Lovano – tenor saxophone Lawrence Fields – piano Peter Slavov – bass Lamy Istrefi Jr. – drums

“Clint just showed his pig, Tanya can’t find the sheep clippers and Justin’s rabbit was disqualified ‘cause it had a black toenail.”

The sacrum, the triangular, pitted central bone, is a complex, multifaceted cog, performing numerous functions. It is crucial for load-bearing, supporting the entire spine above it, and for accommodating the spinal nerves; it articulates with the hip bones, connects with the final lumbar vertebrae, above, and the coccyx, or tailbone, below. Strong ligaments connect it to the ilium bones of the pelvis: these joints are L-shaped and capable of a small amount of movement.

“One of the major outcomes was that we were able to separate the areas of manufacturing that we serve: Rainwater, roofing and ceiling. In other words we have three factories within one factory – all with their own material supply, manufacturing equipment and related services. Rainwater components and products account for 40% of our production, roofing, which we only introduced in 2005, 50%, and the ceiling products the remaining 10%.”

Jake and I cleaned, packed and dressed the eye. No Shut-Eye Patch would cover it. I thought a big cartoon X made of black duct tape might make the defect more presentable. Then Jake said, “I know what’ll work … a bra!”
