    Backcountry Notes ^ | November 29, 2009 | Jay Henderson
    I saw a piece on the news recently which said, in essence, that even if you want to "buy American," there are so few American-made items in the stores that it is almost impossible. Sad, and if you insist on buying the trendy stuff at the mall, probably true. But there is an alternative. All across our land there are artisans, craftsmen, and artists who produce Made-in-America items which are far superior to the brummagem stuff made in China.

    By Michael P. Tremoglie Tremoglie's Tea Time Blog Hill Street Blues was one of my favorite television programs. I watched it religiously each week. Moreover, it was a favorite of my Philadelphia Police Department colleagues. The characters, the chaos of the district headquarters (called precincts in other cities); the challenges of the bureaucracy and the politicos, all of these resonated with cops. Not since Wambaugh had there been such realism. Yet, there existed in the plots certain themes that were disconcerting. There was a subliminal promotion of a certain philosophy. The most obvious example was that of Lt. Howard Hunter,...

    When Jugtown Pottery kicked off the North Carolina art pottery movement in the early 1920s, its owners focused on two lines of ware: traditional lead-glazed "dirt dish" earthenware and new, colorful pieces based on oriental designs. Potters in the surrounding area observed no such strictures; whether by genius or by serendipity, they used colorful art-pottery glazes on anything that went into the kiln, pitchers included. The pitchers sold and, some nine decades later, they still sell.

Powered by a standard two-inch-long rotating motor head and carved out of mouldable plastic, the model train cost Mr Smith just over £6 to make. "To get a sense of scale you have to remember that the River Branch project is being built to the scale of 1-220," Mr Smith added. "It has taken up two and a...

Beck previously revealed that White House communications director Anita Dunn (shown above) reveres the Chinese Hitler as a political philosopher. Mao, according to Beck, urged communist leaders in East Germany to build the Berlin Wall. Mao was also enthusiastic about executions, child labor, torture, and organized public denunciation sessions for political figures who fell out of favor with him. But in the brief segment, Beck didn't have time to go into detail about Mao. It is known that some...

    US President Barack Obama and his wife have decorated their private rooms and the Oval Office with a range of modern and abstract art, the White House says. They began selecting pieces before January's inauguration, but the list of borrowed works has just been released. The scope of the modern work exceeds that hung by previous White House occupants, Mr Allman said. "The first lady had clear ideas about what they were aiming for.
