Here's the release from Denver Water:
Harriman Lake Park, located on the southwest corner of South Kipling Parkway and West Quincy Avenue in Littleton, Colo., will reopen to the public Friday, Feb. 15, 2013. The area has been closed since December 2011 for Denver Water to rebuild the 138-year-old Harriman Dam, bringing it up to current regulatory standards and restoring its full storage capacity.
The new dam will restore the water level approximately 3 feet higher, increasing the surface area of the restored reservoir from its former size of about 55 acres to about 66 acres. The reservoir will be refilled gradually after the Office of the State Engineer completes its inspection process.
This project allows Denver Water to meet the irrigation needs of multiple Harriman water users without adding demands to its potable water supplies or developing new sources of water. Denver Water uses the reservoir to deliver irrigation water to Fort Logan National Cemetery, Jeffco Public Schools, Pinehurst Country Club and other nearby areas.
Denver Water owns the reservoir, dam and land within the park, while Foothills Park & Recreation District manages the recreation at Harriman through an agreement with Denver Water.
Construction on Harriman Dam has been completed, and now Foothills Park & Recreation District is replacing recreational amenities before the park officially reopens Feb. 15. Fishing will not be allowed until the reservoir is restocked and vegetation is established along the banks.

On the evening of the final regular season men's basketball game of the 57-year history of Ducey Gymnasium, the night began with a pregame celebration of Ducey Gym, and also ended in celebration as the CMS men's basketball team defeated the University of Redlands to win the regular season Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) championship.
Prior to the game, a ceremony which honored the late Ted Ducey, and the Ducey Family, culminated with the announcement by Claremont McKenna College's Chair of the Building and Grounds Committee and Board Chair-elect of the Board of Trustees, David Mgrublian '82 P'11, that the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athletics Hall of Fame in Roberts Pavilion is going be re-named the "Ted Ducey CMS Hall of Fame."
"One of the downsides of building a new facility is a cherished facility has to come down to make space for that," Mgrublian said during the pregame ceremony on Feb. 19. "There is no way that the spirit of Ducey Gymnasium or Ted Ducey could ever leave the Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd or Scripps College community."
Ted Ducey, who Ducey Gym has been named for since 1974, was one of the founding members of CMS Athletics as a men's basketball and men's tennis coach, along with being a physical education teacher.
"Coach Ducey had a positive impact on both teams and the athletic department from the start and throughout his career," said Michael Sutton '76, CMS Director of Athletics, William B. Arce Professor and George R. Roberts Fellow. "The programs he led went from "start-ups" to champions and he understood that a good coach must be an outstanding teacher, motivator, and tactician."
Ducey led the Stags to 186 wins on the tennis court and 181 wins on the hardwood from 1959 until his passing in 1974. He also won two SCIAC Championships in basketball (1966-67 and 1971-72) and one SCIAC Championship in tennis.
Founding CMS Director of Athletics Bill Arce as part of the ceremony also presented the Ducey Family a Stags basketball jersey to honor Ted Ducey.
The evening carried added significance with the University of Redlands visiting since the head coach for Redlands is Jim Ducey, the son of Ted.

GM's historic bankruptcy filing this week has a Wisconsin reader wondering if the worst is over for the iconic American car maker — and if so, is now a good time to buy the stock? We suggest he put the brakes on that idea.
GM stock just fell to 75 cents per share as of Saturday (May 30). By GM going into bankruptcy Monday (June 1), can I buy now or do I have to wait until GM clears bankruptcy court? Is this the right time to buy GM stock, knowing that GM will see a turnaround in the future?
— V.P., Milwaukee, Wis.
Best to keep you powder dry, V.P. Those "old shares" are probably not going to be worth much more than a souvenir of a bygone era in American manufacturing.
When a company files for bankruptcy protection, the idea is to take all of its assets and use them to pay off as many of the company's debt as possible. The remaining debt is wiped out, which gives the company a "fresh start."
The bankruptcy process is designed to decide who gets paid — and how much. The list includes everyone from parts suppliers who haven't been paid to investors who bought bonds that are backed by specific assets. In this case, the U.S. government is also looking to get paid back the tens of billions of dollars of taxpayer money it lent GM to keep it afloat while the company tried to come up with a plan to avoid bankruptcy.
Unfortunately, common stockholders are at the very back of the line. And according to its bankruptcy filing, GM has just $82.2 billion in assets to cover $172 billion in liabilities. Based on those numbers, it looks all but certain there won't be any money left over to pay existing shareholders after everyone further ahead in line has gotten their share. (A posting on GM's Web site put it this way: "We think it is unlikely that you will receive payment.")
That's one reason GM shares were recently de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange. In theory, you could buy shares if you found a dealer to clear the trade. But we don't recommend it.
If you already own shares, you may get some relief once the proceeding is over. Existing shareholders can declare their losses and use them to offset any capital gains on other stocks. Shareholders will have to wait until the court officially declares "old" GM shares to be worthless.
As for whether it makes sense to invest in shares of a "new GM" — the much smaller company that is expected to emerge from bankruptcy — that's an entirely different question. Currently there are no plans to have publicly traded shares of the new company, although that could change in the future.
In any case, the prospects for a new GM are far from certain. Car sales have to recover, and there's plenty of evidence that the rogue consumer lending during the credit bubble drove the car market to new heights that were unsustainable. Until it becomes clearer what the post-recession car market looks like, buying stocks in carmakers will remain risky.
Why does milk cost more than gasoline? All you have to do is milk a cow. Look at what you got to do to get a gallon of gasoline. Strike oil, drill for it, ship it to refinery and refine it. I suspect that there is a force keeping the price of gasoline low.
— M.C, Center, Texas
Based on the routine howling that floods our Inbox every time gas prices tick a few cents higher, I'm not sure many readers would agree with you that the system of gasoline production in the U.S. is designed keep prices low.
But it's true that, as of the latest data available, a gallon of milk cost more than a gallon of gasoline. According to the latest figures available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a gallon of fresh, whole, fortified, milk set you back $3.08 in the month of April, while a gallon of unleaded regular cost just $2.06. (Note to readers: Before firing off an e-mail informing us that these prices have nothing to do with the prices you pay, we'll take this opportunity to remind you that these are national averages.)
I've never worked on a farm, and I'm going to take a wild guess that M.C. hasn't worked on one either. It turns out there's a little more to producing a gallon of milk than just milking the cow.
To produce that gallon of milk you have to buy a farm, buy or breed some cows, feed the cows, pay the vet bills when they get sick, buy or lease the trucks to haul supplies, keep those vehicles fueled with diesel or gasoline, fix the vehicles when they break down, mend the fences so the cows don't walk away, pay the utility bill to keep them warm in the barn, pay the mortgage on the barn, hire people to help you with all this, pay those worker's payroll taxes, pay taxes on your farm and pay the freight to get your milk to market. It adds up.
In fact, according to the Center for Dairy Profitability at the University of Wisconsin (where they have lots of dairy cows), the average annual cost of keeping a dairy cow in 2007 (latest figures available) was $3,259.38.

The Joy is a die cut by Sizzix which came with some embossing folders. I cut it out in cream and then added all the color and doodling to match the bottom of her dress. I then added the bow.
I did the same technique on the outside of the cream part of the card that I did on the image and then added some Stickles to the red edge as well. I punched and made my snowflakes.
This next image is also from Paper Cupcakes and is called "Praise Him". The background paper is a much richer red than it reflects here. I colored the whole image with Bic Mark-its and her skin with copics. I added some pink to the edges of her dress, because I thought it would be a lovely contrast and added some red Stickles at the top of each ruffle. I distressed the edges, because I thought that would give it the feel I wanted.
The leafy vine is a Sizzix die called "branch with leaves". I used 3 of them to make the vine and then used the Martha Stewart punch for the little flowers and punched them in two shades of red, then added the little pearls.
I then added the lace and bow. I really loved how this card turned out and it was my favorite of all four.
These next two cards are quite simple and I try to keep them somewhat flat, or kind of one layered. I colored this image quite a while back in photo shop. It was probably one of my first I tried to do this in. I wouldn't say I was overly pleased with it, but I printed it out back then and so I thought I would just use them to make a few cards for Christmas. They aren't awful, but not great either. I kept these simple and just used my scraps from the other cards. I kind of wish I would had used cream ribbon for this top card to make my bows, but the red looks ok, and shows up a little better than this in real life. I still might add something to this, but not sure what, so I will just sit it aside for now.
This is the exact some image, just printed twice back then. I kept this card somewhat flat as well. I did my Stickles a little different on the vase. I like the above one better, but I do like the design to this second one.
Well, that's it for me for now. All these cards look lovely together here sitting side by side in the red and cream. It was a great color combo and I would encourage you to do something outside of Christmas with it. That is why I did the girl playing the guitar and she turned out so lovely. I can't believe this Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US! Time is just a flying by and and before we know it, it will be Christmas, then the New Year! So it will be a busy busy week, but I am looking forward to it. So, have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Calif. amnesia patient's sister found in Louisiana
- Sister says she hasn%27t talked to him in years
- Former girlfriend in Sweden says he was haunted by memories of Vietnam
- Flew from Hong Kong to Palm Springs on Feb. 24
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — The family of Michael Boatwright — who was found unconscious in a Palm Springs motel room four months ago and woke up speaking only Swedish — heard about his whereabouts for the first time Monday.
The Desert Sun located a sister of the 61-year-old who has spent more than 19 weeks at Desert Regional Medical Center insisting he is named Johan Ek and has no memory of his life as Boatwright. Despite the Florida identification found in his wallet, he has been speaking only in Swedish and says he does not understand English.
Boatwright's family did not know whether he was alive or dead, his sister Michelle Brewer told The Desert Sun over the phone from her home in Louisiana.
"I haven't talked to him in years. He just disappeared," she said.
Brewer estimated she had last spoken to her brother about 10 years ago. She didn't have any way to get in touch with him, even when their mother died last year, she said.
"He's always been just a wanderer. Then he'd come back when he needed some money or something from somebody. Then he'd take off again," Brewer told The Desert Sun.
Boatwright was overwhelmed by the flood of calls Monday, but wanted to thank those who were helping him piece together his story, hospital spokesman Rich Ramhoff said.
A social worker has struggled to piece together what happened to Boatwright before he was found unconscious in a room at Motel 6 on Feb. 28, as first reported by The Desert Sun. He carried four tennis rackets, two cell phones and a set of photographs.
The story cracked open Monday after media across the world — from the Swedish paper Aftonbladet to the Daily Mail in the U.K. to the Huffington Post — picked up his story. It captured the imagination of amateur sleuths across the country who have sent The Desert Sun photos of people who look like Boatwright, while Internet users in Sweden said they recognized him as an American who moved to Sweden in the 1980s.
"I'm in shock ... having just rediscovered a childhood sweetheart who has lost his memory in the United States," Ewa Espling wrote on her Facebook wall.
Boatwright learned to speak "decent" Swedish and played on a jousting team with a Medieval association, according to Aftonbladet.
"We had played on foot and it was he is on the armor and such. Then he disappeared and was gone for several years," it quoted John Cassel as saying.
The U.S. Navy veteran — who was raised in Florida and often worked on the beaches near his parents' Miami home — first visited Sweden in 1981, according to multiple friends.
Espling said she met Boatwright on his first visit, when he was wandering the street and looking lost. She thought he had "the most kind eyes (she) had ever seen" and invited him to coffee.
The two fell in love, spent about three years together and planned to marry, Espling told The Desert Sun. But he told her he was haunted by nightmares from what he saw during the Vietnam War, she said.
"He was restless inside and tried to find outside peace, and I do think he found that in me and my family," she said.
Throughout the 1980s, Boatwright lived on a boat called "Honey Bea" off Rhode Island in 1984, according to the postmarks of letters he sent to Espling. He also spent time in Houston, Mexico and Newport, in addition to stints with his parents in Miami, she said.
Boatwright left Sweden for good around 2003, according to several reports.
"No one had heard from him in over 15 years," Aftonbladet quotes friend Olle Sahlin as saying.
Boatwright was likely a 3D graphic designer and had taught English in both Japan for 10 years and China for four years, according to online profiles.
Then Boatwright flew to Palm Springs from Hong Kong on Feb. 24, the day his Chinese visa expired. He was found unconscious four days later.
Guest records at the Motel 6 only go back three months, so the hotel cannot verify whose name was on the room where Boatwright was found, a manager told the Desert Sun on Monday.
Palm Springs police have documented Boatwright's information in case anyone lists Boatwright as missing or wanted, Sgt. Harvey Reed told The Desert Sun on Monday.
Officers helped paramedics on Feb. 28 when they were called to assist with an unconscious man.
The social worker assigned to his case called police March 6 and asked for an incident report to make sure that Boatwright's vital records were noted in case anyone was searching for him, Reed said.
"That's it, as far as our involvement as of now," Reed said Monday.
A psychiatrist and psychologist have diagnosed him with Transient Global Amnesia in a "fugue state," likely triggered by some kind of emotional or physical trauma.
Desert Regional Medical Center moved him to the hospital's skilled nursing facility, where he remained Monday as the medical team decides how to safely discharge him.

Die Cutting Fome-Cor® Material
One of the most common applications for the Fome-Cor® products is die cutting.
Die cutting with steel rule dies allows for the rapid production of flat shapes or cutouts. Typical applications would include the die cutting of letters and shapes, openings in a sheet used as part of an assembly, puzzle pieces, and 3D assemblies. This process can utilize one of the unique features of genuine Fome-Cor® , edge pillowing. The key elements to consider when die cutting are the press, the steel rule, the ejection rubber and the substrate. Each of these elements must be selected properly to yield satisfactory results.
The polystyrene foam core can compress during die cutting. Fome-Cor® has the unique property that the crushed foam will remain crushed. The foam does not tend to assume its original thickness. This results in the die cut edges remaining closed (about 40 to 60 mil residual foam thickness). This provides a rounded effect at die cut edges, called pillowing. This process can also be utilized to produce alternating raised and lowered areas (embossed).
Fome-Cor® is most commonly die cut on flat bed presses. The presses can be either moving platen type or "clam shell" type. Either type of press can be utilized without affecting the quality of the die cut. The key press consideration is proper "make ready". Make ready is the preparation of the press bed (anvil) to assure that the steel rule cuts evenly through the Fome-Cor® without dulling the steel rules. Typically Fome-Cor® is cut on a "hard anvil" to give a pillowed edge. Make ready for this type of die cutting utilizes carbon paper. The press is lowered to the point where the steel rule just touches the anvil. The places where the rule fails to touch the anvil are built up with 1 mil thick shim tape. This process is repeated until a complete imprint of the steel rule is apparent. Make ready is very important because the platen of the press does not necessarily close evenly. This can be caused by misalignment, uneven cutting loads or by deflection of the platen. As a rule of thumb, a 4 post press will deflect 1 mil per ft. Steel rules, that have been dulled by improper make ready will cut poorly, have increased cutting loads and can contribute to liner cracking problems.
Definition of Steel Rule Die Cutting
Steel rule dies work basically the same way as a cookie cutter. They are made of a 1"-wide strip steel with one pre-sharpened edge. The cut strips are called "knives." The strip steel is typically made in a thickness range of .014"–.166". To specify thickness, the term "point" is used. The strips are bent to the shape of the trim line and held in place by a block called a "die body." In order to facilitate ejection of the part, strips of a compressible material such as neoprene are glued along the perimeter and protrude above the cutting edge of the rule.
During die cutting, the steel rule die (SRD) assembly is fixed under the top platen, and the sheet material is placed on a steel bottom platen. Pressure is applied to force the knives of the SRD through the (often preheated) sheet material. The platens are then opened and the parts removed. In some cases, additional work such as finishing the cut edge might be required.
Steel Rules:
There are three types of steel rule dies that can be used to cut Fome-Cor® material, Cutting rules, scoring rules, and serrated rules. The most common is a cutting rule. The type of cut needed will determine which rule is used.
Cutting Rules:
Cutting rules are the most common when die cutting Fome-Cor® . These rules are used to both cut and pillow the edge. There are three types of bevels: A center bevel, inside bevel, and outside bevel.
A center bevel is "V" shaped, i.e., honed from both sides. A center bevel is used when both the inside and the outside of a cut have to be saved, e.g., as in a puzzle. In this case, the cut is wedge-shaped so that the cut face on the periphery is sloping away from the inside and the cut on the inside piece is sloping away from the outside. The longer the bevel and the narrower the thickness (point) of the rule, the straighter the cut.
An inside bevel has the straight unhoned side of the rule on the outside of the cut and the beveled side on the inside of the cut. The rule of thumb is that the beveled side is always towards the scrap.
An outside bevel has the straight unhoned side on the inside of the cut and the beveled side on the outside. An outside bevel is used if the inside piece must be saved.
Scoring Rules:
Scoring or creasing rules are used to create a fold line. Scoring rules are shorter than standard rules. These rules cut through the top liner but leave the bottom liner intact. This technique is also referred to as slit scoring or "short knifing". This method is often used when additional materials are laminated to the Fome-Cor® products. Unique to Fome-Cor® , because of its foam structure, is the capability to crease cleanly.
Serrated Rules:
Serrate rules are used to cut Fome-Cor® without closing the edge. The best serrated edge rules to use with Fome-Cor® have 12 -20 teeth per inch and a side bevel rule. The non-beveled side should be placed toward the good piece. When using a 12-tooth rule, the cut piece will have an unclosed edge with fine serration marks. A 20-tooth rule will slightly indent the top liner but the serration marks will be almost invisible. The side toward the bevel (bleed off area) will be partially closed with more noticeable serration marks. Serrated rules must always be used with a soft anvil because the teeth must penetrate completely through the bottom liner.
Stripping and Ejection Rubbers
Stripping rubber is essential when cutting Fome-Cor® . It serves two purposes. This is used to assist with edge pillowing and to prevent cracking in the die cut piece. Liner cracking problems need to be considered whenever coated products such as Fome-Cor® are die cut.
Rubber used to merely remove the part from the die is called ejection rubber. Rubber is rated by its hardness. Typical Shore "00" Udometer hardness ratings are: Soft 20 – 40, Medium 30 – 50, and Hard 40 – 60. The proper techniques for the use of ejection rubber with Fome-Cor® include:
- The ejection rubber should be at least the height of the steel rule and preferably 1/16" - 1/8" higher than the rule.
- The ejection rubber should not touch the steel rule. This prevents dragging on the blade or getting the rubber cut by the rule. This also prevents the liner from being pulled away from the rule by the distorting rubber.
- Medium to hard rubber is most commonly used. It is best to completely rubber the rules to prevent cracking and achieve uniform pillowing.
- On critical areas, soft rubber can be used for additional build-up to prevent cracking. Critical areas are usually near tight bends or sharp points. For these areas, the stripping rubber can be built up as much as 1/4" above the rule height.
- The rubber should be selected to allow it to fully compressed between the steel rules without crushing the Fome-Cor® or bending the rules when the press is fully closed.
- A more gradual pillowing effect can be obtained by using wider, soft rubber stripping. Stripping rubber from 1-2" wide is commonly used.
Fome-Cor can be bent while attempting to die cut a small piece from a large sheet. To prevent bending, the dieboard should be lined with a sheet of soft, low density (2-3 lbs/ft3) polyurethane foam about 3/4" thick.
Die Cutting 3/8" Fome-Cor®
Die cutting 3/8" Fome-Cor® with pillowed edges can be successfully done. This type of die cutting has somewhat different requirements than for cutting thinner Fome-Cor®. The dieboard should be 1/2 inch thick and the rule 1.125" high. A 3- pt, long, side bevel, coated rule works best. The rule should be continuously lined inside and out with medium to hard ejection rubber. The ejection rubber should be placed 1/16" away from the rule on both sides rule. A continuous sheet of soft rubber can also be used in place of the strips of ejection rubber. If cracking results with the continuous rubber, the outer 1/2" of the soft continuous rubber should be replaced with strips of medium rubber. When designing the figure to be die cut, it is best to avoid sharp corners and narrow spaces. A minimum distance of 1 inch is recommended between pieces. When sharp corners cannot be avoided, additional, very soft, foam avoid localized cracking.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner met with Superstorm Sandy victims Friday on Staten Island as he tried to move past the sexting scandal threatening to derail his political comeback attempt.
The former congressman traveled to the furthest reaches of the city to tour the ruined home of Joseph Cardinale, a 14-year resident of a beachfront neighborhood still hurting from the storm's deadly tidal surge. The house, overgrown and stripped to the studs, will have to be torn down and Cardinale is upset about how difficult it has been to rebuild.
Weiner said he visited the neighborhood because he wanted to bring attention to the plight of storm victims.
"One of the reasons why we're here today is that I knew that now, you're gonna come with me. And you should see this," he told reporters. "There is this notion because the cameras had left, because some of the headlines changed, that the problem was solved. But for many, many people, they are still dealing with the challenge."
But even in that setting he couldn't escape the scandal. After walking through the destroyed house and meeting several neighbors who also shared their Sandy horror stories, he was confronted by retired schoolteacher Peg Brunda.
"I don't quite understand how you would feel you'd have the moral authority, as the head administrator in this city, to oversee employees, when your standard of conduct is so much lower than the standard of conduct that is expected of us," said Brunda.
Weiner asked whether she would vote for him. Brunda said no.
"I want to let your neighbors make their decisions for themselves," Weiner said.
So far, Weiner said he intends to stay in the crowded mayoral race, where he is facing off against several other Democrats and Republicans. The campaign represented Weiner's attempt to return to politics after resigning from Congress in 2011 because of revelations that he'd sent sexual texts and photographs to women he met online.
He had been polling well before this week, when a 23-year-old woman revealed that Weiner had sent nude photographs to her as well, months after his resignation. Weiner, who is married, admitted having racy correspondence with as many as three women since leaving office.
A front-runner in the race, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has been saying for days that Weiner has turned the race into a "circus," repeated those comments in interviews and campaign appearances Friday. She said he had "a pattern of reckless behavior" a lack of maturity and "difficulty with the truth."
Some news outlets continued to heap ridicule on Weiner Friday.
The free daily newspaper AM New York ran a photo illustration of Weiner wearing a clown nose, next to the headline "3-Fling Circus." Even The New Yorker got in on the act: next week's cover will feature a cartoon Weiner astride the Empire State Building like King Kong, using a smartphone to photograph the skyscraper between his legs.
Weiner said his online dalliances are a thing of the past.

Hello from Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories, Canada! I am here conducting research as part of the Ikaahuk Archaeology Project, headed by Dr. Lisa Hodgetts. This project aims to use archaeological knowledge and Inuvialuit knowledge to better understand the history of Banks Island. We are currently working towards making this project a community-based project. We are now in our third year and we have a lot on the go!
The fabulous crew for 2014 is made up of Lisa Hodgetts (Associate Professor, UWO), Colleen Haukaas (recent MA grad, UWO! Woot woot!), Jordan Munizzi (PhD student, UWO), Katie Kotar (MA student, UWO), Mariah Lucas (Sachs Harbour resident), Alex Kudlak (Sachs Harbour/Inuvik resident) and me, Laura Kelvin (PhD candidate, UWO). This year I am staying in Sachs Harbour conducting research for my dissertation while the rest of the crew is camping near Emegak Lake (about 30 km SE of town). My work in town involves using an archaeological ethnographic approach to explore how perceptions of the past and archaeological research vary within the community to determine how archaeology can complement Inuvialuit understandings of the past. This mostly involves interviewing community members, getting to know people and what their lives are like in Sachs Harbour, and hanging out in town (I have been playing a lot of volley ball!).
This year the crew is excavating a Thule Inuit whalebone house. In addition to excavation they are also using a magnetometer to help find the location of middens, and using photogrammetry to make 3D models of features and artifacts. I recently received word that they are currently excavating and they are getting close to the architecture of the house. They have found tons of animal bones – muskox, seal, fox, caribou, goose, fish. Whoever lived there was eating well! They have also found bone and antler points, a harpoon head, and beads! I am not sure exactly what they are up to today, but I imagine they are cold. It is 2° C (feels like -2°C) and rainy, and I was told that they have ran out of hot chocolate!
Today is a bit of a slower day for me. I put in a food order for the crew this morning (they really need that hot chocolate!) and I am just taking a break from transcribing an interview. The interview I am working on was with two Elders from town, Edith Haogak and Lena Wolki. Last week my supervisor was able to get some time with a helicopter for her research. She went out to a few sites in the southern part of the island to collect water and animal bone samples. Not only was I lucky enough to go sampling with her, one afternoon she let me use the helicopter to take these wonderful ladies and Edith's son, Charlton, to Haogak Lake to do a place-based interview! This was my first trip in a helicopter and despite feeling a little queasy at times it was really cool! I can't imagine a more beautiful place to fly over top of than Banks Island.
Edith and Lena were born on Victoria Island, near Ulukhaktok (Holman). They grew up on the land moving between Banks Island and Victoria Island with their mother Susie Tiktalkik. Haogak Lake is named after Edith's family. She first came to the lake with her mother to hunt caribou and fish. She later established a trap line there with her husband and continued to trap there after he passed away. Her son Charlie also used the trap line. Her family still goes there to fish. Place-based interviews are awesome because they really help to establish and understand peoples' connections to particular places. I have posted a short clip from my interview with this post. Edith and Lena are extremely charismatic and have done many interviews (check out Inuvialuit Television on youtube!
One thing that really comes across in this interview, as well as most of the interviews I have done with people from Sachs, is their awesome sense of humor! But that afternoon was far from all work. We also got in some fishing! This was my first time fishing and I loved it! With the help of our awesome pilot, Steffan, I caught a fish on my first try, which I can only assume makes me the best fisherman in the world. We'll just ignore the fact that it was the only one I got. As I am transcribing this interview I just keep thinking how lucky I am that this family was willing to spend the afternoon sharing this wonderful place with me.
Later today I will get my second sewing lesson from Kim. Although my grandmother taught me the basics when I was younger, I did not keep with it and I have never been all that good. Kim is an awesome artist who makes mukluks, mittens, purses… well just about everything! She has shared a slipper pattern with me. I finished beading the uppers and today she is going to show me how to finish sewing them together. For many people in Sachs sewing is a big part of life. They learned how to sew from their mothers, grandmothers and Elders. Sewing is seen by some people as an important way to teach youth about their heritage and about the past. Although it is mostly women who sew to make clothing for their families, for income, or for fun, it is important for both women and men to know how to sew, as it is an essential skill when you go out on the land. Betty Raddi-Haogak explained to me that there are many different styles of Inuvialuit sewing and clothing. She said that this could be important for archaeologists because you can tell what region people are from by their sewing style. I'm looking forward to learning more about sewing and Inuvialuit heritage!
I hope this post has sparked some interest in the Ikaahuk Archaeology Project, my project, and Inuvialuit history! If you want to learn more about my research you can check out my blog Summer Time in the Arctic, and of course follow the Ikaahuk Archaeology Project on Facebook! I hope everyone had an awesome Day of Archaeology!

Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health & Human Services, gave the commencement speech at Georgetown University's Public Policy Institute on Friday, only to be heckled as she was addressing the graduates, then met with anti-contraceptive protesters outside the building. In terms of the public disagreement over birth control, Sebelius offered the following:
These debates can be contentious. But this is a strength of our country, not a weakness. In some countries around the world, it is much easier to make policy. The leader delivers an edict and it goes into effect. There's no debate, no press, no criticism, no second-guessing.
She was probably called a "commie" for trying to say that it's easier for other countries to write and pass policies. Still, bravo for politely calling people out on ruining a graduation ceremony because they have a problem with common sense.

The White House correspondent for the One America News Network asked whether Ms Omar, a Representative for Minnesota, should be investigated for possibly marrying her sibling.
"There's a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it. I hear she was married to her brother," Mr Trump responded.
"You're asking me a question about it. I don't know, but I'm sure that somebody will be looking at that."

Already known as the world's strongest material and a great solution for shrinking transistors, now researchers say it can also be used to make super-tough, super-small storage.
Researchers at Rice University demonstrated a graphite data storage medium that was only 10 atoms thick. They said it could provide many times the capacity of current flash memory and withstand temperatures (up to 200 C) that would make SSD memory disintegrate.
On the minus side, the researchers have only gotten an access time of 100 nanoseconds, about 10 times slower than SRAM. But they're confident that as they experiment more with the material, they'll be able to get that number down. [ComputerWorld]

- Studies Show E-Cigarettes Help Smokers Quit - June 11, 2014
- Chris Christie's 'Sin Tax' on E-cigs Would Burn Quitters - March 16, 2014
Why is Gov. Chris Christie trying to punish people who have quit smoking?
Tucked within Christie's budget plan for 2015 is a brand new "sin tax" on the sale of electronic cigarettes, a smoke-free, tobacco-free alternative that many smokers and ex-smokers use to quit smoking. Christie apparently disapproves of this behavior, as he seeks to apply a tax on e-cigarette sales that would supposedly be equivalent to the excise tax paid by smokers who buy real cigarettes.
If Christie and supporters in the Legislature are looking for a catchy nickname for this portion of the budget, they may want to go with the Combustible Cigarette Protection Act of 2014. Such a title would accurately summarize the consequences of this poorly constructed plan.
Practically all e-cigarette users are or once were smokers, and a sudden price hike could send some back to smoking.
Additionally, with the most commonly available e-cigarettes — single-use disposables sold in convenience stores and general stores — already priced similarly to or even more than a pack of cigarettes, enactment of this brand-new tax would serve as a barrier preventing smokers from switching to a far less hazardous alternative.
Contrary to activists' claims, nicotine at the levels used in e-cigarettes is no more harmful than regular caffeine use. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has recognized the low-risk nature of smoke-free nicotine use; it recently approved labeling changes to nicotine replacement therapy products to allow for long-term use by smokers looking to quit.
Independent studies of the water-like vapor produced by e-cigarettes have shown the levels of toxicants and chemicals are far lower than in cigarette smoke and comparable to the trace amounts present in traditional nicotine-replacement therapy products such as the nicotine inhaler, patch or gum. Moreover, smokers are increasingly using e-cigarettes in attempting to quit. A randomized clinical trial published last September in the medical journal The Lancet found e-cigarettes helped just as many smokers quit as the nicotine patch did, and e-cigarette users were much more likely to recommend friends use e-cigarettes to try to quit.
So why tax e-cigarettes at a rate that will make them less attractive to smokers?
Supporters of these taxes in other states have argued taxes on e-cigarettes will keep them out of the hands of children. This is a bogus argument because the sale of e-cigarettes to minors has already been banned in New Jersey, as it should be.
According to Assemblyman Dan Benson (D-Mercer), there is another reason to tax e-cigarettes the same as cigarettes: "If e-cigarettes are taxed less than regular cigarettes ,we're sending a message out there that they're somehow safer, and I think the jury is out on that," he told NJ 101.5.
In other words, Benson wants you to believe the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette may be just as hazardous as inhaling the burning smoke from a cigarette. The idea of using taxes as a propaganda tool exemplifies the intellectual heft of those trying to pretend cigarettes and e-cigarettes are the same product.
In reality, with each month that passes, more public health and tobacco-control professionals are realizing the great harm-reduction potential of smoke-free products such as e-cigarettes. The only state that currently applies excise taxes to electronic cigarettes (over and above the sales tax), Minnesota, imposed the tax in 2010 when the product was in its infancy.
Given the potential health benefits of e-cigarettes compared with smoking, it's no wonder attempts to apply excise taxes have failed in a diverse group of states, including Delaware, Iowa, Maine, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah.
For the sake of smokers desperately trying to quit, New Jersey legislators should reject this irrational cash grab.

Like yesterday. The two brothers, the 'rents, and I were at Rockwell. We were able to squeeze in the budget for a movie. Later, I realized we should have gone somewhere else (but not SM! hehehe arte talaga) because the movie cost P161...where was I when this happened?!? Hehe. Or maybe, back in the days, it didn't matter how much a movie costs? Hmmmm.

Spoilers are Losers!
But I'd just like to share that after reading, I asked my bro G for the link of the supposed spoilers sent to him on Thursday. If you are curious, go Google encyclopedia dramatica and search within the site for Harry Potter and it will lead you to pictures that wormed the net even before the book was released. Now the people who do this are losers. They are not readers at all and are sadistic! How can they spoil everything for those who waited to read this amazing story?!? There are even youtube videos that show spoilers being painted on cars and the cars being driven where people are waiting to get their copies. Sigh. That makes me really angry.
I was paying for my copy on Saturday and there came a group of teenage girls who squealed in delight after seeing the books near the cashier. And guess what they did after that? They got too excited, jumped up and down while shouting, "Look at the ending! Look at the ending!". Gosh. I almost screamed at them to stop doing that because they are spoiling the moment, my moment.
I couldn't help but be emotional about this. Maybe it's just me ;)

8 things about me :)
Caryl & Joyce tagged me :) Thanks for thinking of me, ladies!
The Rules: "Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples' sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do."
There you have it. And here are eight things about me:
1. My husband and I recently celebrated our First Year Anniversary.
2. I am the second among four kids, younger between two girls. I want four kids too!
3. I can spend all day just sitting in front of the PC/laptop and continuously hurt my eyes (now at grade 300)
4. I love to travel but is not rich enough to to do it often :P
5. I am still a PROMDI :)
6. But I spent my HS and College Days in Manila.
7. I have alot of friends but few very close ones.
8. I do not eat anything with gata.
I will have to break the rule :( Not sure who would like to do this. Dunno who to tag anymore.

Our flight is tomorrow. From monday til today were busy busy busy. Am doing this post while we are packing so,
I'll do bullets for updates (so I won't forget...):
- Monday - Lunch at Cheesecake factory and Malling at Valley Fair with Marijoe and Lira. :) Bought a few things.
- Tuesday - Stayed home and did the laundry whole day. Went out for a while for lunch and to buy Ane's PSP. In the evening, Ane and I were picked up by the same couple friend we had dinner last week. We caught the 1130pm showing of Transformers (ang danda danda danda!) at Cupertino AMC. Libre :)
- Wednesday - 4th of July. Malling at Oakridge. Ane bought me a watch, a book, a mag and two blouses :) At night we tried to catch a fireworks display but we got there a minute too late, oh!
- Today - Was out the whole day. Our to-buy list is crossed-out except for one (we'll try to see tom). Ane bought me a tote laptop bag (yey!) and a wallet. Dinner was with Jo, her husband Ryan, and Lira at a Chinese Restaurant in Milpitas. Starbucks afterwards.
Ciao for now hehehe...

According to E!, Cyrus and Madonna were spotted rehearsing on a Hollywood soundstage yesterday (Jan. 27), though there is still no word which song(s) the two will perform together.
As Ellejokes, there should be all the exposed tongues fit to air on this special.
While the show will be taped tonight, Miley Cyrus: MTV Unplugged will air on the network tomorrow (Jan. 29) at 9 p.m. ET.

This was served as the side dish with my broiled tofu, which Martha Stewart suggested as a meal. Well, I will always listen to Martha, because this was a great meal! Maybe I would have considered this the main dish and the tofu the side dish, but I served them on the same plate at the same time, so whatever. It's delicious nonetheless.

The Mary Freeman House
Photograph courtesy of the Connecticut Historical Commission
The Mary and Eliza Freeman Houses are significant as the last two houses to survive of "Little Liberia," a settlement of free African Americans in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that began in 1831 and reached its highest population just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. The 1830s was a time when African Americans in the North, almost all free, started to leave rural areas and move to more populated, central communities. The origin of the name "Little Liberia" is based on oral tradition that the community's inhabitants strongly identified with the new African nation established for freed African slaves. Mary (1815-1883) and Eliza Freeman (1805-1862) were born in Derby, Connecticut, 13 miles inland from Bridgeport. Born into freedom, the two women, who never married, became succesful landowners. In 1848, the sisters purchased adjoining building lots in "Little Liberia" and utilized their homes as rental property while they worked and resided in New York. Their activities in New York in this period are little known. Eliza moved permanently from New York to Bridgeport around 1855 and worked as a domestic. At the time of her death in 1862, she had over $3,000 in real estate holdings in Bridgeport. Mary Freeman moved back to the community just prior to her sister's death and subsequently bought out the interest of other heirs in Eliza's properties. Over the next years, Mary profited from her land holdings and was a much respected member of the community. Her 1883 obituary in the
Bridgeport Standard
reads, "Miss Mary Freeman, an old and well known colored lady, died at her residence at 114 Main Street yesterday... The deceased...had during her life accumulated considerable property, which is variously estimated from $30,000 to $50,000. She owned several houses on Main and Gregory Streets." During their lifetimes the Freeman sisters overcame significant obstacles as women and as African Americans in 19th century society.

We live on 1.5 acres in the Spokane Valley. We have lived here 35 years. For the most part we have kept the place free of toxic chemicals. We have three 60 year old apple trees, two 60 year old sweet cherry trees, and a lovely, old plum tree. The fruit on that tree is like honey, no bitterness under the skin. There is also a 25 year old Black Walnut that produces a lot of nuts. We just have to figure out how to liberate the nut meats from the outer hull. Our rhubarb, raspberries and horseradish are well established. All the other fruit bearing trees are 10 years old and younger.

This essay seeks to introduce the reader to two works by the philologist Franciscus Junius (1590–1677) on the history, theory, and language of the praise and criticism of the fine arts in classical antiquity, De Pictura Veterum (or, in Junius' own English translation, The Painting of the Ancients) and the Catalogus Architectorm, Mechanicorum, sed paecipue Pictorum, Statuariorum... et Operum quae fecerunt. These books, once considered on indispensable guide to the study of classical archaeology and the development of an informed and just love of art, experienced a remarkable change of fortune in the course of the nineteenth century and are now rather forgotten even though, together, they still remain the richest and most percep-tive collection and interpretation of passages from classical literature which address them-selves to or, more often, deal in passing with the fine arts or with works of art. The chief pur-pose of Junius' work is to create or recreate, by the presentation of ancient texts in the form of a coherent argument, a kind of constitution for the exercise of the fine arts in which delight, dignity, and social usefulness are naturally joined.
Junius, who does not attempt to be original but rather just and thorough, joins the theorists, as well as some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, in taking the philosophers' suspi-cions of art (joined by the strictures of religion) most seriously. It is here proposed that the value of his moral, but by no means pedantic, system of the arts can only be appreciated if we too (guided, perhaps, by Sir Philip Sidney's Defense of Poetry) will reconsider the justice of these charges. Junius' work gains a particular significance because it was written at the court of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel who was, next to the king, the greatest collector of works of art and antiquities in England. Arundel's love of art was not a mere passion but an aspect of his comprehension of his grandeur. His purpose was unquestionably informed by Castiglione's Courtier, whose book also is a guide to the better understanding of Junius' argument concerning the blessings of art in the life of a nation. The essay also reviews, in passing, the connection of Junius to the Leiden school of humanistic studies, notably of his father, Franciscus Junius the Elder, and of J. G. Vossius, his brother in law, who also was his mentor. It continues with a consideration of the changing purposes of archaeological studies which brought about the decline and eventually the eclipse of the reputation of Junius' work. These changes are traced to Winckelmann's and Lessing's (somewhat conflicting) objections to some of the premises of Junius' work and the credibility of certain of his best witnesses from antiquity itself. In the end his view of history and the redeeming role of art in a timeless structure of truth is confronted with the truths of modern historicism which, at best, will look upon Junius' educational hopes (if it deigns to notice them) as a time-bound, if beautiful, illusion.
Among the works of art considered in the essay are Van Dyck's « Madagascar Portrait» in Vienna and its copy at Knole, Adriaen van der Werffs frontispiece to the 1694 edition of De Pictura Veterum, Rembrandt's «Aristotle with the Head of Homer», and Rubens «Outbreak of War». Junius' two books on art (edited and, in part, translated by the late Keith Aldrich, Raina Fehl, and the writer of this essay), will be published in 1982–1983 by the University of California Press under the collective title The Literature of Classical Art.
Brunelleschi and Hope
The essay considers the influence of Greek art and culture on Tuscan art in the first decades of the 1500s. In this regard is stressed the importance of Emanuele Crisolora, the first teacher of Greek and translator of Plato in Florence, and Florentine art is looked at in the light of his memoirs, his method of translation and his comparisons. Moreover Brunelleschi (in the Burla del Grasso) would seem to have developed a principle from Plato's Republic, and by imposing a privileged point of view, a principle of Proclus. However the perspective tables, in which the basis of Plotinus' aesthetics are involved, are related to Crisolora's stay in Rome (1411). On this visit are also seen to depend the increasing importance of Roman antiquities for the Florentines and even the inspiration for the Cupola of the Cathedral in Florence. However for Sienese painters like Sassetta, Giovanni di Paolo, Sano di Pietro, we are dealing with the influence of contemporary Byzantine art. The themes and stylistic features of Paolo Uc-cello and Piero della Francesca are seen to be derived from a late Byzantine monument – the Arcadius column.
In the connection with Greek culture which seems to have so much interested Brunelleschi, the hypothesis is made that we understand the Cantoria by Luca della Robbia as an expression of harmony and the one by Donatello of melody.
The article analyses the importance of the newly discovered documents found in the Archivio di Stato in Milan concerning Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks. Before considering the bearing of the new documents on the problem of the two versions (in Paris and in London), the author summarises the existing situation of research on this problem. From the following analysis of all documents and the painted versions it is to be concluded that the new docu-ments probably refer to a third painting, and not to the picture now in London.
The Inlay-Work of the Choir-Loft in S. Maria Maggiore in Bergamo: The Theme of Fortune and Lorenzo Lotto
In this short essay the author seeks to find the cultural and thematic link between certain wood inlays made between 1524 and 1532 in Bergamo, from designs by Lorenzo Lotto. The theme of Fortune, inextricably connected with the philosophy of Nosce te ipsum (know thyself) is just one aspect of the complex and changing cultural panorama of the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries. Lotto's position as regards these themes seems to be — as always — in contrast with the official values and he proposes to search for a deeper, more human relationship with reality.
Focusing on the Rape of Europa in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, this paper proposes to address the problem of interpreting Titian's brushwork. Il colorito alla veneziana, as it evolved in the later Cinquecento, implies the act of coloring, the manipulation of pigment, the operation of the brush. Characterized by an open pictorial structure, a fabric of individuated brush strokes, colorito defines itself by its process, achieving its most persuasive expression in the later paintings of Titian. To what extent can we pretend to understand that eloquence, to comprehend its intention, to measure the presumably expressive nuances of brushwork against legitimately Cinquecento standards? Must we dissociate the mimetic im-pulse of the stroke, its referential function, from its self-expression? Can we legitimately claim meaning for the brushwork itself — that is, for 'arte? Is there a meaning initiating in the artist, a meaning that may itself be mediated by the imitated subject matter but that resides essentially in the visible traces of the painter's gesture, meaning in which we hear his own voice?
The Patronising of Sculpture in the 19th Century. A Cultural-Historical Approach to Qualitative Judgements for Research
As part of his studies on the patronage of sculpture from the 18th to the 20th centuries, the author here deals more specifically with the 19th century. In the literature the quality of the sculptures of this century is often said to be poor. The lack of magnanimous patronage has often been said to be the cause of this. Both the quality of the works and the problem of pa-tronage undergo critical analysis here. The possibility of a more nuanced and complex approach for further research is pointed out.
The problem of reciprocal influence of works of art is of fundamental significance for a theory of art. Using the research of George Kubler, O. Ore, G. Hermeren, Mieczysław Poręb-ski and others, we suggest a wide use of a model of these influences of works of art based on the mathematical theory of directed graphs. It's worth mentioning that art historians were us-ing without knowing it models of influences already in the 19th century. To understand our model it has been necessary to invent new terminology, for example: «power of similarity», «rivers and streams of influences» and «reconstructed overgraphs of influences». The pre-sented model may be useful in any historical study.
From Pessac to Architecturology
The transformations carried out by the inhabitants of Pessac near Bordeaux on the build-ings in the district designed by Le Corbusier from 1925 to 1927, have been in contrast with some «key points» of the modern architecture advocated by the architect. This in reaction to Le Corbusier's authoritarianism. On the other hand one of these key pointsis the "free plan" which by definition means transformability inherent in the very conception of these buildings. Further it would help to find out to what extent the architect, the user of the buildings, or the plan itself are free, as the case may be. Such a question leads to the conclusion that the case of Pessac can be approached not so much on the basis of some universal doctrine or other of space or of abstract architecture, but rather by a theoretical questioning, an architecturology, capable of specifying concepts above and beyond doctrinal controversies.
The author tries to prove that the notion of synthetic art can be discussed with the help of the semiotic notion of Complex system and multi-code messages. A synthesis does not in-volve total systems, but only constituents of these systems – some of the subsystems; combi-nation of the subsystems constitutes a new whole. Two co-ordinate and parallel lines overlap and participate in this process: the destruction of the primary systems involved in the synthe-sis, and the construction of the new systems.
The ordering of the selected subsystems into a new signifying whole may occur in two ways. The first one assumes the simple physical absence of the subsystems not belonging to the new whole. The other way is due mainly to the fact that the particular subsystems of a given work are neither «turned down» nor «off» by the material specific procedures resulting in a palpable effect. Such subsystems are still physically present, but they do not participate in the act of communication. The author – supporting her analyses by examples from music and film – tries to find the laws governing the relations of subsystems: the law of permeability of structure, the law of the alternation of a function and two kinds of special relation: relation of domination and of neutrality.
The writer presents the essence of the iconographic-iconological method (in Erwin Panof-sky's interpretation) and draws our attention to the unclear methodological status of iconogra-phy (there are some who consider it «a general science about visual message», according to others it is a method, a technique).
In the second part the writer relates and draws conclusions from previous iconographic analyses (by Christian Metz, Roland Barthes, Erwin Panofsky, Linda Williams). The conclu-sion is the conviction that iconographic studies in the field of film are possible only in the case of:
a) strongly codified works, supplied with artificially created and commonly accepted sym-bolism,
b) specific series of kinds and genres (Wild West films, fables, morality films, «films of the cape and sword»),
c) the works of distinct cultural circles, requiring special heuristics.
In other cases the efficacy of iconography as a method «wains», the distinguishing of level becomes an incoherent confusion of several different analytic techniques.
Milos Forman's Cuckoo's Nest belongs to the category of allegorical compositions, the value of which consists in the almost perfect balance established in them between ideas and actual reality represented. When ideas prevail the work becomes artificial, and turns into the proclamation of theses which often are more convincing in the form of theoretical statements. When action, representation of reality and characterization prevail, the idea gets lost – as in life, when entropy blurs the effectiveness of regularity. Forman achieved in a masterly way a balance between symbolism and narrative: allegory has been clad in a human shape, theses turned into a drama.
The author, an art historian, analyses the composition and symbolism of this famous film of Milos Forman.
