West Virginia will have a somewhat different look when it takes to the court on Thursday evening in Wheeling for the Gold-Blue Debut. The open scrimmage format won't tell us everything we want to know about the 2016-17 Mountaineers, but there are some items to watch for as the evaluation process moves from the mostly private world of preseason practice to the public space. Here's what we're keeping our eyes on:
Elijah Macon: Quite bluntly, the athletic big man has to produce more consistently. That he has the physical skills to do so is clear, but he has never been able to get everything in sync to where he looks comfortable on every trip. One time down, he'll catch the ball, make a couple of moves and score on a beautiful sequence. The next, the ball flies out of his hands as he attempts to do too much too quickly. He'll rise for majestic rejections of opposing shots, then commit three fouls in three minutes and remove himself from the action. The bad stretches have to get smaller, and the good more frequent.
In the video above, freshman Chase Harler discusses the fact that despite the frenzied pace of games on the defensive end, he actually shoots the ball best when he gathers himself and slows things down a bit on offense. That approach would benefit Macon tremendously.
The Ohio native has also discussed his work ethic in the offseason, and points to the fact that it has been the best it has ever been over the summer. Again, that's a wait-and-see item. Will it continue throughout the year? It has to if WVU is to be successful.
* * * * *
Guard Rotation: A year ago, the hope was that James "Beetle" Bolden would be able to slowly work himself into some minutes at point. That was derailed with his preseason knee injury, which forced him to miss the entire year. Now he's back, but is he ready to assume some of those duties? Early returns have been mixed, and that's a big factor for the Mountaineers this year. The thinking is that Jevon Carter is much more comfortable playing off the ball, and shoots better, than with it in his hands the majority of the time. If he has to assume the majority of the playmaking duties, that throws a potential wrench into the works. Tarik Phillip can handle the ball ok, but again, being a 25-minute point guard isn't his forte. Will Bolden have the physical and mental strength to stand up to the pressure that a high-quality non-conference schedule will throw at him, much less the Big 12?
We probably won't see a ton of pressure in this scrimmage, but if Bolden is hounded by his teammates, watch how he handles the ball. Is he comfortable, or is he having to devote extra protection under pressure? Is he moving it and attacking, or just hanging on? Granted, this will be a work in progress, but we should at least get an idea of where he is on this progression arc.
* * * * *
The Newcomers: Chase Harler is following his dream as a Mountaineer. Can he provide WVU the spot up shooting and occasional lift it needs from the perimeter? Just how physical is Sagaba Konate, and does his play come anywhere close to matching the impressive physique photos that have popped up of him recently? While Devin Williams comparisons are obvious, they are also way premature -- and unfair to boot. Can Maciej Bender fill a pick and pop shooting role without getting beaten up on defense? (That's a Harler question as well.)
* * * * *
Injuries: In addition to Bolden's recovery, Logan Routt is battling a foot issue, Phillip has a sprained thumb, and Bender is working through an ankle sprain. Those could limit or skew the early evaluation process, but it's also something to keep an eye on with the season just a few weeks away. This team has a great deal of meshing and morphing to do, as it is going to have to score and rebound in different manners. There's not a bell cow in the middle to collect board after board, and there's not a hyperactive forward to create havoc on the front of the press. West Virginia has the pieces to succeed this year, but they have to come together in different manners, and they all need to be available in order to fire together.
* * * * *
Possessions: It's no secret that head coach Bob Huggins was royally displeased with the loose ball security his team showed a year ago. The phrase "and then we throw it into the stands" was more prevalent in Huggins pressers last year than "I grew up in a small town in Ohio. Two stoplights and nine bars." In order to reduce the incidences of the former, WVU has to cut down on its giveaways. But is that a realistic expectation?
For guards, the hope is yes. Daxter Miles had 46 steals and 43 turnovers last year, and many of the latter were of the "trying to do too much" variety. With just a bit of calming, he can cut that latter number. Carter was in the same dead-even neghborhood, at 59 and 58, respectively. Phillip was a bit worse at 53 and 71. Cut those by just one per game apiece, and the effects could be excellent.
The bigs are another issue. Macon isn't blessed with the greatest hands, so he must, as described above, be more measured in his moves with the ball. The guards can help him greatly, however, by not throwing him the ball in positions where he's ill-equipped to catch it, such as when he's running the floor and receives a bullet pass at the knees. (That goes for everyone, of course.) Some of those turnovers are ascribed to the big men, when in fact they are the fault of the passer, not the recipient.
All would do well to study Nathan Adrian, who had just 28 turnovers in 635 minutes a season ago.
While this open scrimmage won't be the best environment for evaluating the status of ball protection, it could give some hints. Watch the general characteristics of ball movement and where the passes go. Are they thrown with a purpose? On target? And when one side gets a turnover, does it capitalize with a good shot, or throw it right back to the other team? Those are the areas where the Mountaineers can dress up their play and narrow the gap between turnovers (498 in 2015-16) and steals (343).

Orlando, Fla., Oak Ridge shooting guard Antonio Blakeney has become one of the top targets in the Class of 2015 for the University of Louisville men's basketball team.
U of L coach Rick Pitino has been to see him three times since the summer and assistant coach Mike Balado has also watched Blakeney.
Now, the 6-foot-4 Blakeney is expected to make his second visit to U of L on Thursday night. He'll attend the U of L vs. Cincinnati game at the KFC Yum! Center.
"Yeah real hard," Blakeney told Scout.com in response to a question on how hard U of L is recruiting him. "They've been down here to see me a lot."
Blakeney is ranked as the No. 68 prospect in the '15 class nationally and is expected to move up in the rankings. He has over 20 offers, including U of L, Florida, Florida State, Kansas, Oklahoma State and more.

All reader reviews by Cheese
Visited Sushi- Say with great excitement as I always hear nice things about this restaurant. However, the sushi wasn't very nice. Some fish were not fresh and tasted too old to use in sushi; eg sea urchin, fatty tuna. Also, I was very disappointed with their sushi rice which was too hard. I enjoyed my starter (Ika Somen, thinly sliced squid in noodle sauce) and dessert of ginger ice cream. It is a little nice restaurant which serves authentic Japanese menu, but I wouldn't go back there for sushi. Also, I disagree with charging for refils of green tea.

NIkon announced a new version of the D810, the D810a tuned/tweaked for astronomy photography and a D750 bundled with a slew of lenses and accessories useful for videographers.
Nikon D810a for those with stars in their eyes
A modified version of the D810 and features an optical IR cut filter for photographing distant nebulae and other astronomical phenomena with utmost clarity and color accuracy. By updating the D810's design with a dedicated filter to pass H-alpha (656.28nm) wavelengths, the D810A is able to depict nebulae and other subjects without unwanted infrared contamination for greater color neutrality. Benefitting this adjustment to the sensor filtration, this specialized DSLR also features an expanded shutter speed range and new M* exposure mode for more accurate exposure times up to 15 minutes, as well as a Virtual Live View Exposure Preview feature to aid in clear focus and composition confirmation when making such long exposures.
NOTE: The modified sensor makes this camera unsuitable for normal photography. Canon also offers the 60Da for Astrophotography. The 60 of course does not offer 36MP of the D810 but it is very affordable at this time.
Available May 28th 2015 for $3,796.95 – Preorder from B&H Photo Video | Amazon | Adorama
Sample images shot with D810a

Kenmore dishwasher won't start, Smart Wash light is blinking.
I have a Kenmore dishwasher model number 665.17483300. I usually run Smart Wash. I pressed the button but the Normal Wash light started flashing. I tried to cancel. Then the Normal Wash and Cancel lights were flashing. I turned off the breaker to get it to clear. I tried again. Pressed Smart Wash, Normal Wash flashed, but then I tried to start it on the Normal Wash. It would not start. I tried to cancel again, but it would not clear or run. I have replaced both the key pad and control board, but it didn't help. Any ideas?
Posted April 08, 2013
Dezeray, April 08, 2013
dishwashers are the greatest appliances to have it cleans all the dishes for you. while you are waiting on an expert to answer your question, i found a great link in the manage my life website on your problem. i have attached the link below. hope this helps!
Lee, April 08, 2013
yes, i have seen this link. i have already replaced the key pad as this link suggested and it did not help. i went a step closer and replaced the control board, but i still have the same symptoms. i have also ohm'd the thermal fuse and it still has continuity. i was able to get it to run the self test cycle a couple of times and nothing shows up. currently it's back to a flashing smart wash and nothing works.
John H, April 09, 2013
thanks for contacting managemylife.com. i understand how frustrating it is having trouble with your dishwasher not running. we are here to help. dezeray provided a good link on this problem. replacing the keypad should have solved the problem. the thermal fuse is good because, there is a sign of life in the dishwasher. i recommend check the tail. that is the ribbon cable between the keypad and the electronic control. also, check the interconnect board. both parts come with console assembly. the door latch should also be checked with a multimeter. the images below is a keypad test to help with troubleshooting the console. i split the image in 2 to help make the image more readable. i hope this helps.
to order dishwasher parts, please visit searspartsdirect.com with the model number.
please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance. we are always here to help.
thank you for using managemylife.com.
Lee, April 10, 2013
hi john, i ohm'd out the tail, interconnect board, and switch on the latch. all appear good. remember also that i purchased a new keypad plus a control board, and the symptoms are still the same. i also checked the keypad with the chart you provided, except for the 3 keys i don't have. also, my keypad has a smart wash key that is the one that i have problems with. i found out tonight that if i remove power and then reapply, no keys will be lighted. however, the only keys that light when they are depressed are the "smart wash" or "cancel". if i press smart wash, the key will light, but you can't do anything else except pressing the cancel will turn off the light. then if you press cancel again, it will actually attempt to drain the tub and if you put water in it, it will actually drain the tub. nothing else will work though. left unattended for awhile with power on, it will eventually go to a flashing "normal wash" or "smart wash" or both. this has become very frustrating. i just wish i had a set of troubleshooting steps i could reference.
John H, April 11, 2013
lee, i provided another diagnostic test for the dishwasher. also, check the thermistor with the meter. make sure it is working properly. otherwise, the dishwasher is acting like a software glitch or a new part with the same problem. under this strange situation, a service technician may have to fix the problem.
Lee, April 13, 2013
hi john, i tried the self test sequence, but since none of the keys besides smart wash and cancel respond, this did not work either. i ohm'd the thermistor and is 49.9k. if i remove power, i can run the cancel/drain cycle, but that is all. if there is standing water, it will get pumped out. what do you mean by software glitch? i have 2 controller boards and they basically do the same thing. is there some other electronics in the control circuit? the keypads appear fine and also the tail. i have ohm'd all these out, plus the spare keypad i bought generates the same symptoms. surely there must be other items that would cause the lockup with the flashing smart wash or normal keys that i could check? again could you elaborate on "software glitch"?
John H, April 15, 2013
lee, a software glitch is, when a computer acts strange and rebooting the fixes the problem. the dishwasher reboot is cut the power for 2 minutes only. once the time is up, power up the dishwasher. if the problem remains, it is not a software problem. since you could not do the keypad test i recommend checking each key with the meter. there should be a connection from each key to the computer. if there is not, the circuit is open. that is very strange for 2 keypads with the exact problem. the remaining electrical parts is, the motor, and heating element. those parts are not the problem. i suspect a part is failing powered up and checking good without power. this may be something a technician has to fix.
Lee, April 15, 2013
thanks for your response john. currently, after removing power, i am only able to run a cancel/drain cycle. there was a point in time that occasionally after removing power, i could run the self test which ran through several phases, but i'm not sure it really ran the complete test as it finished in probably 5 minutes or less, but never displayed any flashing error codes. i can no longer do this though and nothing has really changed. the chart you sent me to check the switches didn't have the smart wash on it. do you have access to the chart for my model number 665.17483300 which i now have memorized from typing it so frequently? also is there any component that if it fails, it is logged in nonvolatile memory such that even after removing power, the controller will no longer respond. it seems to me that the keypad and controller board are probably good, but i haven't really checked anything else besides the thermal fuse and thermistor. what is the small sensor by the steam vent? can it shut down the unit?
Lee, April 15, 2013
my thought is that if i can't fix it, it's going to the dump. especially if i can't even figure out what the problem is. also, this will probably be my last kenmore as it has been problematic, but not too hard to fix. i don't mind making minor repairs, but normally i give up on something when the repair costs don't seem to have value. i only like to call a repair technician if i don't have time to do it myself, or the complexity is above my comfort range. if i have to call someone because the unit is too flakey, it's time to take it to the dump and dry to find a better unit next time. i quit buying maytag front loaders for this very reason.

Styling Curly Hair: Straight Hair on Top with Curly Ends
- Christina Hendricks' hair is straight at the crown of her head with tight, curly ends.

Christina Hendricks and the models for Bottega Veneta have styled their hair so it is straight at the crown of the head and curly at the ends starting at ear level. We show you how to create this retro hairstyle as well as providing you with suggestions for makeup that compliments the retro hairstyle.
The sleek hair on top of the head, which transitions into curls creates a wide selection of looks from romantic to wild. The curls and waves may be tousled or well-defined (see Christina Hendricks' curls above). An alternative approach would be to tease and fluff the curly ends like the models in the photos below. The hair may be parted unevenly or in an accurate line either low or high on the side of the head. The hair above the forehead may be secured to the side with a hair slide or alternatively, left naturally so that strands fall over the face.
Retro Curls on the Catwalk

Models for Bottega Veneta showcased their retro curls with coloured brown, red, and blonde hair on the catwalk. They completed the retro look by using bright rusty-red lipstick while the mascara and eyeliners were kept in soft shades of brown.
The expressive hairstyle is eye catching and unusual. The contrast between the straight hair on top and the fluffy ends create interest and appeal to this 1940s hairstyle, with its many playful yet elegant variations. The models have chosen deep side partings, which creates austerity to the look. They pulled the hair above the forehead straight across the hairline and secured it with hair slides on the opposite side softening the look.
Creating the Curly Retro Hairstyle
Your hair should be at least shoulder-length to create this 1940s hairstyle.
1. After shampooing, blow-dry your hair and create a straight, low side parting.
2. Be sure to apply heat protectant before straightening and blow-drying your hair. Then use a flat iron to straighten your hair on the crown of your head and above the forehead. Work on small sections at a time and straighten the hair down to ear level.
3. Slightly dampen your hair before you roll small sections of hair using small-diameter curlers starting at ear level; then blow-dry your hair. Alternatively, you could use curling tongs to create the small curls.
4. Use your fingers to pluck the curls apart as well as volumising powder for a high-volume look.
5. Finally, secure the front of your hair with a hair slide opposite the side parting. Finish the look using plenty of hairspray for a long-lasting finish.

Because it is not shy and retiring, is it? It's not subtle or muted or low-key. It's the print equivalent of standing on a chair and shouting: 'I'M HERE! GUYS! I'M HERE! HAVE YOU SEEN ME YET? 'COS I'M HERE!' So even though it's modern in terms of visual decibels, it is rather retro in its flockiness. Its blowsiness.

EU 'deplores' Israeli killing of civilians
EU countries have urged Palestinian militants to stop firing at Israel, while "deploring" Israel's killing of civilians.
They said in a statement on Tuesday (8 July) the EU "strongly condemns the indiscriminate fire into Israel" from the Gaza strip, while adding it "deplores the growing number of civilian casualties, reportedly among them children, caused by Israeli retaliatory fire".

The words did nothing to calm the situation.
The Israeli army said on Wednesday morning the intensity of the fighting is increasing. It reported that a barrage of 45 projectiles was fired in less than 60 minutes at one point during the night, while the Israeli air force struck 160 targets in Gaza.
The firing out of Gaza has not killed any one so far. But Palestinian authorities say Israel killed 31 people in Gaza in the past 24 hours. They say "the vast majority" are civilians and that two of them are children under five years old.
Israel on Tuesday also said it is preparing a ground attack on Gaza if need be, recalling events in 2009, when a ground incursion led to the death of some 1,500 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
"If we need to go inside in a ground operation, then we will do it", Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Israel's security minister, said on TV.
For its part, the US on Tuesday urged both sides to "de-escalate".
A US State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, added that Palestinian "terrorists" are "deliberately targeting" Israeli civilians.
"No country can accept rocket fire aimed at civilians, and we certainly support Israel's right to defend itself".
Israel and Palestinian authorities were in peace talks less than three months ago.
But the talks unravelled amid Palestinian complaints Israel is building more settlements than ever.
The situation deteriorated after the murder of three Jewish teenagers in June. Israel blamed Hamas, a Palestinian faction which holds sway in Gaza, and launched a crackdown on Hamas members in the West Bank which saw more than 400 people arrested and five Palestinians shot dead.
A Palestinian boy was also murdered in Jerusalem in what Israeli police are treating as a Jewish revenge killing.
For his part, Xavier Abu Eid, an advisor to the Palestinian authorities in the West Bank, told EUobserver from Ramallah on Wednesday that his government "does not justify any violent attack" on Israel.
But he said Israel "escalated the situation" by its crackdown on Hamas despite the fact it did not put forward "any evidence" Hamas had killed the three Jewish boys.
He noted that Israel, as the "occupying power" in Gaza, has a legal responsibility to protect civilians and urged EU states to "stop treating Israel as a country above the law".
The Israeli foreign ministry could not be reached for comment on Wednesday morning.

UW found success in the red-zone drill, during 11-on-11 work and in the two-minute drill, as Tolzien and company were able to assemble a passing attack that proved to put points on the board and give the defensive coaches plenty of teaching points.
Back to the Zone
After the first- and second-team offenses found the way into the end zone in the morning, the first unit showed no signs of slowing down. On the very first place, a handoff to James White around the left side, Lance Kendricks released and registered a great down-field block. Combine with the speed of White, it was an impressive score.
Resetting the drill at second-and-five, another impressive drive allowed Scott Tolzien to engineer a naked bootleg to the right corner of the end zone. Although the green jersey was a deterrent, Tolzien would have clearly scored on the play with everyone going 100 percent.
Not to be outdone, Jon Budmayr equaled Tolzien on the first play from scrimmage, finding a streaking Manasseh Garner inside the right hash mark for an easy score. While Budmayr couldn't register another score, Tolzien made sure the sieve kept leaking, rifling a rocket to the front left corner of the end zone. There was Nick Toon, who secured the pass and got one foot down before stumbling out of bounds.
The final run by the second teamers saw a physical run by Bradie Ewing get the offense down to the two, but great defense on a corner fade route by third-string safety Adam Hampton, filling in for Conor O'Neill, made the pass fall incomplete.
With the injuries to starters Henry and Valai, Bielema has been able to give reps to younger people at safety, including Hampton and redshirt freshman Josh Peprah.
"We're able to get a lot of guys through," Bielema said. "Henry had his best practice at safety this morning … as far as calls, making breaks. The thing is that Aaron just needs game reps at the safety position.
"Dez is getting a lot of reps, Shelton Johnson has looked good in there. Adam Hampton. Jerry Ponio. A couple guys that are young as far as being on the field, but have good upside."
First Team Starts the Clock
With the ball on the 32 and only one minute, 52 seconds left, the first-team offense needed to overcome a four-point deficit. A short screen pass to White and a rebound play from Devin Smith left UW in a third-down scenario. On the run by Ewing in the red-zone drill, Secondary Coach Chris Ash wasn't afraid to get in Smith's face, unleashing a verbal assault not suitable for young listening audiences. Smith bounced back by reading the second-down play and extending his hand into the passing lane.
Tolzien got things going from there. He was able to move the chains by targeting Kendricks for a 24-yard gain on third down. Southward, filling in for Henry (rest) couldn't turn around fast enough to break up the pass. With 33 seconds left, Tolzien threw a 14-yard strike to David Gilreath and a nine-yard strike to Toon, getting the Badgers to the two.
After an incompletion to Jefferson left UW with 15 seconds on the clock, Tolzien, from the shotgun, picked on senior Niles Brinkley. With Brinkley's back to him, Gilreath jumped over the cornerback and successfully came down with the ball
Second Team Starts the Clock
With Budmayr facing the same scenario, the redshirt freshman quarterback completed a pass to Jared Abbrederis on third-and-four to move the chains into enemy territory. Getting the yards down to third-and-three with 46 seconds left, a draw to White appeared to be short. Instead of running a fourth-down play, Bielema ramped up the pressure on the first team.
Tick Tock
Bielema put the first team on the 32-yard line, but gave them only 32 seconds and no timeouts. The offense wasn't as successful, only completing a deep circus catch to Isaac Anderson after Borland had broken through the line and sacked Tolzien.
"Isaac is sucking it up," Bielema said. "He's got a turf toe, groin is a little bit sore, so admire what he's doing right now. He's really stretching and trying to be strong."
Bielema gave the offense one more chance with six seconds left and the ball on the 18, but the attempt fell incomplete.
The list is growing
Tight end Zac Davison (shoulder), defensive tackle Jordon Kohout (knee), safety Conor O'Neill (ankle), linebackers Blake Sorensen (soft tissue swelling) and Mike Taylor (knee), Jay Valai (concussion) and guard Kevin Zeitler (ankle) did not participate in the evening session after missing the morning.
Sorensen's MRI was negative and Zeitler told Bielema he was going to be out of the boot by Thursday, seeing as it was driving him nuts and the offensive line was ribbing him. Kohout and O'Neill should be back practicing no later than Friday.
However, more injuries did pop up. Redshirt freshman Brian Wozniak, who missed valuable time in the spring with a strain MCL, has a fracture in his shoulder after taking a hit from Southward in the morning. He'll have x-rays tomorrow for a better indication of how long he'll be out.
Reserve offensive tackle Casey Dehn, reserve center/guard Jake Current, reserve linebacker Kevin Claxton (back) and freshman wide receivers Chase Hammond and Marquis Mason also did not participate. Mason hobbled out on to the field with crutches and it was later classified as inflamed tendinitis. He'll have an MRI tomorrow that could result in knee surgery.
Taylor's minor surgery was successful, as Bielema stated that the knee looked better than the doctors originally thought. Bielema also reneged on his earlier comment and said Taylor could be ready by the UNLV game.
"I know Mike is in good spirits," Bielema said. "Hopefully we can get him back sooner than later … Anytime you are dealing with a knee, you really don't know until you get in there. Nobody wants to be out there more than him, but we aren't going to rush him back because there's a lot of football after that."
Plays of the Night
Play of the night came courtesy of the Budmayr-Abbrederis connection. After running laps around the second-team defense all spring, the duo did it again. On a deep fade route, Budmayr trusted Abbrederis enough to make the play in double coverage. The redshirt freshman did, adjusting his body and going airborne to make a one-handed catch for a 30-yard gain.
There were many other notable catches off the arm of Tolzien, as well. Not wanting to be left out of the Abbrederis connection, the senior floated a pass down the right sideline that Abbrederis easily hauled in after streaking by Antonio Fenelus.
"I don't know if he had a drop today," Bielema said of Abbrederis. "He's a competitive kid and is trying to earn that (playing time). With those other senior receivers in front of him and Manasseh Garner is a guy I've been impressed with. Those two guys have jumped out to me the last three days."
One play later, Tolzien delivered a high strike across the middle to Kendricks, who showed his jumping and eye-hand coordinator by leaping and twisting to haul in the completion.
After a waterbreak, Tolzien's gamble with Gilreath provided a big payoff. Despite his small stature and being triple covered by both safeties and a cornerback, Tolzien lofted a deep toss on an inside slant route to Gilreath. Somehow, Gilreath timed it right and out jumped the group, earning a 50-yard gain (almost one-third of his 2009 total yards).
Extra Points: Bielema said John Clay is not in midseason form after his impressive first practice, but he is in 'first game-week form' … Bielema identified freshman offensive players Sherard Cadogan, Garner and James White will play for sure, while Beau Allen and Josh Harrison will play on defense this season. Bielema also hinted at Jameson Wright perhaps contributing … Wisconsin is planning to scrimmage on Saturday before taking a day off Sunday.

Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception
As part of our ongoing efforts to expand our coverage of the arts to our readers, today we feature an article from our friends over at DailyServing written by Kelly Nosari on the Francis Alÿs restrospective at the Tate Modern.

A Story of Deception is the title of Francis Alÿs' current retrospective on view at the Tate Modern. The title of the exhibition, which spans the artist's two-decade long career is borrowed from a work of the same name, and appropriately provides the exhibition's subtitle and introduces the gallery visitor to Alÿs' work.
The 16 mm film, A Story of Deception, captures a mesmerizing and unobtainable mirage on the horizon. The camera centers itself on a road, halved by a dotted white line and follows it across an arid Patagonian landscape. The film's imagery and intent are oblique and deceptively simple – allowing a variety of creative, metaphorical interpretations. The road can be read as representative of a border and the unobtainable mirage as the often out-of-reach goal of border crossing.

While Alÿs is most readily associated with the film or video documentation of his actions, this retrospective takes care to illustrate the multi-media nature of the artist's practice and is curated thematically. Film and video work is presented with related photographs, paintings, drawings or other ephemera. In one particularly successful example, Paradox of Praxis I or Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing (1997) is shown near photographs taken in Mexico City dating as early as 1992. These projected photographic images from the series Ambulantes (Pushing and Pulling) feature street vendors and workers bearing loads in the streets. The connection is evident between these photographs andParadox of Praxis, in which Alÿs pushes a block of melting ice through the city's streets. Both point to the often comical futility of contemporary labor.
The artist typically begins his work with an action, allowing other media to play a supporting or planning role, but that is not always the case. The artist works in a variety of media, including photography, sculpture, animation, drawing and painting. Paintings such as Le Temps du Sommeil (2003-present) and Silencio (2003-present) illustrate that Alÿs is influenced by urban advertising. They also reference the precedent – intentionally or not – of past artists like Magritte.
Film or video documentation of Alÿs' carefully planned actions remain the most compelling and most capable of conveying both subtle and overt political messages. In Re-enactments (2000), Alÿs references the gun violence of his adopted Mexican homeland. When Faith Moves Mountains: A Project for Geological Displacement (2002) is one of Alÿs' most well known works for its sheer monumentality. In it, the artist directs 500 volunteers to form a line and physically move a sand dune located outside of Lima, Peru. Armed solely with shovels and the spirit of collective effort, these volunteers complete a task whose apparent futility belies its profound metaphorical statement. This great effort of 'geological displacement' points to the immense shared burden of geo-political displacement.
The contemporary nation-state border, as a contradictory line that is both increasingly restricted and crossed, is an important theme in Alÿs' art practice. The artist addresses the hypocrisy of the border in works such as The Green Line or Sometimes Doing Something Poetic Can Become Political and Sometimes Doing Something Political Can Become Poetic (2005) in which the artist walks the 1948 armistice border line between Israel and Palestine. Trailing a leaking can of green paint behind him as he walks a now defunct border, he quietly and profoundly points to the idiocy of human suffering caused by an arbitrary line of division. Loop (2007) chronicles the artist's purposefully ludicrous route across the US – Mexico border as he travels from Tijuana to Australia, up the Pacific Rim to Alaska, and then finally to California. The epic route of travel taken in lieu of the actual distance between Tijuana and San Diego highlights the difficulty of this border crossing for illegal economic migrants. Also referring to the theme of border crossing, The Rehearsal (1999-2004) features a red Volkswagen Beetle that continually tries and fails to reach the top of a dirt road.
Francis Alÿs Tornado Milpa Alta, 2000-10 Video documentation of an action and related ephemera 55 minutes Courtesy of Francis Alÿs and David Zwirner, New York Image: Video Still © Francis Alÿs.
The exhibition makes a strong conclusion with the premiere of Tornado (2000-2010). This newly completed, 55 minute video documentation from hand-held camera footage was ten years in the making. It captures the artist as he places himself in the path of high-altitude tornadoes in Mexico – enduring severe winds and no visibility brown-outs in attempts penetrate the tornado's central vortex where the air becomes eerily still. Alÿs places himself in peril – throwing himself blindly into chaos in hopes for resolution through the extraction of meaning. Or, as curator Mark Godfrey argues Tornado is again concerned with the border crossing and the immense difficulty of entering and leaving geo-political zones in our increasingly mobile world.
Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception remains at the Tate Modern until 5 September. The show's next stop is Alÿs' home country where it will be presented at Wiels in Brussels (9 October – 30 Janurary). The exhibition comes state-side next year to New York's MoMA (8 May – 1 August 2011).
Francis Alÿs is represented by David Zwirner in New York and Galerie Peter Kilchmann in Zurich.

Is your teenager feeling stressed because they are experiencing some bumps along the road of life? For teenagers, unfair events such as being turned down for a date can make them feel unlovable. Doing poorly on a test that they studied hard for can cause them to feel like failures, and being cut from a sports team often makes them feel unimportant.
On a larger scale, when bad things happen to good people, it is not unusual to feel of tinge of hopelessness and powerlessness. You may ask, "Why did such an event happen to this nice person when it wasn't their fault?" Upon questioning an unfortunate and unfair incident, your teen might even wonder, "Why bother?"
By the time you're an adult, you've learned that life is often difficult and frequently unfair. The good times are great and we cruise through them, but we struggle through the tough and unfair times. If your teen is experiencing some challenging times, they're probably not be interested in hearing how these moments offer opportunities to strengthen their character and grow their self-esteem!
So how can you advise your teen when life seems unfair? Here are three points that I suggest as a starting place. Since keeping open lines of communication is critical, each of these three points offers an opportunity for dialog between parent and teen.
1. Watch how your teen reacts to the situation. How they choose to respond is one of the most important aspects in dealing with the world we live in. Have your teen resist playing the victim role. It is difficult to grow and mature from an event while playing the victim role because a victim gets stuck focusing on the hurting emotions of the situation. The victim can't move past that point, imprisoned and reliving the pain. Have your teen consider that everything that happens offers a chance to expand and learn a broader meaning about life.
2. Maintain positive self-esteem. Even if bad things happen, make certain that your teen realizes that they are not bad people. This may be a time in their lives to move on and spend time with other people, participate in other events or trying different activities. Had this unfortunate situation not happened, your teen would still be carrying on as before. Life is a journey and there is a lot to experience. Your teen can learn, grow and broaden their perspectives from things that seem unfair.
3. Maintain a positive outlook. You may want to talk to your teen about the many positive attributes they possess, and the things in life for which they can be thankful. Writing a gratitude list may be tough for them to complete if they are hurting from an event, but gentle encouragement may be in order to help them begin to realize that they will see brighter days ahead. Learning from this situation may help them handle future episodes in life a little easier.
I would encourage parents to try these ideas with teens who are experiencing moments of unfairness in life. What are some things you've said to your child when they think that life is unfair?

Corporate Lycafly LycaHolidays Lycalotto Lycamobile Lycaradio1458 Lycaremit Lycatalk Lycatel LycaTV
Pakistan is a country overflowing in locations of natural beauty and ancient cultural heritage so it's easy to miss out on a few of its best kept secrets. See our list below for our selection of Pakistan's top hidden treasures: (You won't find any of these on the first page of the travel websites but we'll leave you wondering why!)
Boasting a phenomenal view of the surrounding mountain range and the crystal blue river that flows beneath it, the Altit Fort of the Hunza Valley is the oldest monument in the vast Gilgit-Baltistan region, estimated at around 1100 years old.
Originally the home and power base of the hereditary rulers of the Hunza state, this mountain top fortress its surrounding village have received recognition of their importance as a site of cultural important in the form of restoration funding from the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the governments of Norway and Japan.
Having only been open to the public since 2007, this rare wonder is well worth the expedition.
A region of rugged beauty speckled with picturesque frozen lakes, this awe inspiring glacier sits below the colossal K2 Mountain in the Karakorum mountain range. Its isolation and distance from civilisation contribute both to its anonymity and its majesty.
Far from the beaten track, and within the larger Baltoro Glacer, this particular spectacle deserves a mention all by itself having spawned award winning natural photography of its stunning azure blue waters cutting a path through the ice, rock and snow.
Translated directly as the 'Mound of the Dead', Mohenjo-Daro was once amongst the most advanced cities in the world and one of the pre-eminent settlements of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation over 4500 years ago. Noted for its architecture and inventive engineering, the city was abandoned following the sudden decline of the Indus civilisation around 1900 BC and remained lost until the early 20th Century AD.
Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the world's earliest major settlements, excavation and research is finally breathing life back into the Mound of the Dead.
With its 40 gigantic bastions jostling for attention along its 1500 metre-long and 30 metre-high perimeter, the Derawar Fort dominates the Bahawalpur skyline from horizon to horizon from its seat of power in the Cholistan desert.
Conjuring notions of a Troy in the desert, the sheer scale and verbosity of its fortifications are overwhelming and well worth the undertaking to reach them.
Stretching across 640 square miles, Hingol represents the largest national park in Pakistan and is renowned for the range and diversity of its assorted flora and fauna across both subtropical and mountainous regions. For the avid explorer or naturist, surveys have indicated the potential for numerous as yet undiscovered species in the area waiting to be found.
Although on the surface this may seem like a rather morbid excursion, the Chaukhandi tombs lay within an Islamic cemetery dating back to the early 16th century and the beginnings of Mughal rule across the Indian subcontinent.
Famed for exquisite, elaborate carvings in the sandstone sarcophaguses, the craftsmanship of these early artists has been remarkably well preserved and often portrays assorted scenes of hunting, weaponry and jewellery of a bygone age.
A third fort makes its way on to our list but with each one displaying vastly different characteristics the Ranikot Fort is no different. Nicknamed the Great Wall of Sindh, it is believed to be the world's largest fort with walls stretching around 16 miles in length. Anyone making their way through these expansive fortifications is then to be faced with a fort-within-a-fort, as a second wall protecting what is believed to be the former palace residence of the Mir royal family rears up some 5 miles within the outer.

'Laissez-faire' capitalism is finished, says France
Both France and Germany on Thursday (25 September) said the current financial crisis would leave important marks on the world economy, with French president Nicolas Sarkozy declaring that the under-regulated system we once knew is now "finished," and German finance minister Peer Steinbruck saying the crisis marks the beginning of a multi-polar world, where the US is no longer a superpower.
Speaking to an audience of some 4,000 supporters in Toulon, France, Mr Sarkozy said the financial turmoil had highlighted the need to re-invent capitalism with a strong dose of morality, as well as to put in place a better regulatory system.

"The idea of the all-powerful market that must not be constrained by any rules, by any political intervention, was mad. The idea that markets were always right was mad," Mr Sarkozy said.
"The present crisis must incite us to refound capitalism on the basis of ethics and work … Self-regulation as a way of solving all problems is finished. Laissez-faire is finished. The all-powerful market that always knows best is finished," he added.
He accused "this system that allows the ones responsible for a disaster to leave with a golden parachute" of having "increased inequality, demoralised the middle classes and fed [market] speculation."
A European response
The French president also criticised "the logic of short-term financial profit" and said risks were hidden "to obtain ever more exorbitant profits" – something which, he said, was not the true face of capitalism.
"The market economy is a regulated market ... in the service of all. It is not the law of the jungle; it is not exorbitant profits for a few and sacrifices for all the others. The market economy is competition that lowers prices ... that benefits all consumers."
The speech by Mr Sarkozy, who is also the EU's current president-in-office, echoes similar statements he made earlier this week, when he called for an international meeting to discuss the crisis before the end of the year.
On Thursday, he also called on Europe to "reflect on its capacity to act in case of an emergency, to re-consider its rules, its principles," while learning the lessons from what is happening worldwide.
Mr Sarkozy said: "For all Europeans, it is understood that the response to the crisis should be a European one."
"In my capacity of president of the Union, I will propose initiatives in that respect at the next European Council [15 October]," he added.
'The world will never be the same again'
Meanwhile, German finance minister Peer Steinbruck criticised the US for failing to act in the wake of the crisis and said it would now lose its status of "superpower."
"The US will lose its status as the superpower of the world financial system. This world will become multi-polar," with the emergence of centres in Asia and Europe, he told the German parliament on Thursday.
"The world will never be as it was before the crisis," he added.
Mr Steinbruck's criticism of the US has been amongst the sharpest yet made since the beginning of the crisis.
He notably blamed Washington for resisting stricter regulation, even after the crisis started last summer, and said this free-market-above-all attitude and the argument "used by these 'laissez-faire' purveyors was as simple as it was dangerous," the Associated Press reports.
He stressed that Germany had made recommendations last year for more rules, which Washington refused to consider.
They "elicited mockery at best or were seen as a typical example of Germans' penchant for over-regulation," Mr Steinbruck said.
Earlier this week, German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier also said the US should have listened to the advice coming from Europe, notably from Germany, that more control was needed.
"It is a discussion that we have had for a long time in Europe, that the completely unregulated parts of the international financial market must be more closely monitored and that we must try to reach an agreement on common regulations," he said during a visit to the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, according to Forbes.

Local Best & Worst Contractors of 2011
About the list:
Our Best Contractors come from popular home improvement categories and must qualify for the prestigious 2011 Angie's List Super Service Award, which requires they have a current and overall grade of A and be in good standing with Angie's List. The Best also must have had a flawless - or nearly flawless - overall record, a minimum of six reports and multiple Page of Happiness nominations in the reporting period. These requirements put them in the top 1 percent of contractors eligible for the SSA.
To determine the Worst Contractors, we scrutinized member reports, Penalty Box cases and court records. We also interviewed scores of sources, basing our selections on the gravity or volume of allegations and the amount of damage customers say those contractors inflicted. In the More Worst Contractors section, we listed companies that remain in the Angie's List Penalty Box.
Finally, in keeping with our tougher stance on trade licensing, the Angie's List Trade Licensing Department audited every Best Contractor finalist for compliance with state and local laws. We booted those unable to produce a valid trade license or prove they didn't need one. If a Worst Contractor lacked a required trade license, we included information on their noncompliant status.

I just saw this blog article on the possible correlation between spay/ neuter and ACL injuryies and problems. Interesting! Just thought I would share, it is good food for thought......
I saw that on another forum,as well. When I first read it I thought it was meaning people should NOT spay and nueter, but keep there pets intact. but once I re-read it it was meaning before a year of age.

One flaw I see in the research is that the impact of obesity isn't factored out. While it is more likely that a fixed dog will become obese, the weight ratios of the test subjects may be skewing the results, leading to an incorrect conclusion. I see it as more of a call to manage weight of fixed dogs.
There could be a lot of reasons for it. . .maybe mutts and purebreds with improper conformation are more likely to be speutered earlier than purebreds with excellent conformation, and their poor conformation leads to the knee problems rather than the speutering, etc.
I mean, my cousin has blown ACLs in both knees and I assure you has plenty of testosterone, LOL. But he is heavy. So, yeah, i'd like to see a study done that takes all those things into account.
Slightly more than 50% of all dogs in the US are overweight. Every extra ounce means more pressure on the knees, and that pressure isn't ounce per ounce, it's multiplied by the force with which the paw hits the ground. So I'm not terribly surprised that lots of dogs have ACL injuries. How that relates to neutering, well, I'd have to know who neuters, at what age and why and how that relates to feeding choices. Most dog owners aren't intentional. They buy food they saw on TV that looks good. They walk their dogs somewhat regularly, train sit a few times and don't really think too much about the choices they make for their dogs. That type of owner, not at all negligent, but simply not overly involved, probably does speuter young because it's easy and it's heavily encouraged by the HSUS and ASPCA.
I know I'm rambling, but it's like saying poor people tend to be overweight in America because they don't eat well. That's true on the face of it, but there's a lot more to it than that.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me that spay/neutering has more health implications. Hormonal balance and all that.
Interesting replies!
Either way, I saw this and figured it's good food for thought. He does men tion that he will eventually post the full article he wrote, which I'll be interested in seeing.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

For Ying Lee, the yellowing newspaper clippings she scans for Washington State University Libraries unexpectedly opened the door to a conversation with a stranger on an airplane this past Christmas.
Lee, one of several WSU students working on the libraries' online Kimble Northwest History Database, had been reading articles about Alaska—an intriguing state to the native of Taiwan. Coincidentally, seated next to her on the plane was a man headed for Anchorage. Lee and the stranger turned what could have been a dull connecting flight into a discussion on all things Alaska.

Louisiana high schoool football player dies after injury: High School Football Player Dies
Published: September 5, 2015
Louisiana high schoool football player dies after injury: High School Football Player Dies, )A Louisiana high school football player died after suffering an injury while playing a game Friday, the Franklin Parish coroner's office said.
Tyrell Cameron, a student at Franklin Parish High School, died shortly after he was transported to Franklin Medical Center late Friday, said coroner's office spokesman Shane Scott.
The player was hit during a punt return in the fourth quarter in the game against Sterlington High School, Franklin Parish head coach Barry Sebren told CNN affiliate KNOE.
Northeast Louisiana Ambulance Service was on the sidelines during the game and rushed onto the field to help when Cameron was injured.
The cause of death is under investigation, but KNOE reported Cameron broke his neck.
A vigil for the 16-year-old Cameron was planned for Saturday night at Franklin Parish High School, CNN affiliates KTVE and KARD reported.
The school posted condolences on social media.
"He loved his family, his team, and the game of football. He will be missed," the school's Facebook page read.
"Tyrell will live on in the memory of those who loved him," the school's athletic program tweeted.

OVER 3,500 people – including 18 corporate teams – participated in the Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) first charity run, dubbed The Great Race 2014, which took off and finished at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium yesterday.
The run, organised to mark RB's 40th anniversary, featured obstacle challenges tailored with an aviation concept – a first of its kind in the country – and received an overwhelming response from the public.
The guest of honour at the event was Dato Paduka Awg Hj Bahrin bin Abdullah, Chairman of RB and Deputy Minister of Finance, who presented the prizes to winners of various categories of the race as well as winners of the lucky draw.
Winning the Corporate Team Challenge in the men's category was DST Group while Fitness Zone and BIBD came as first runner up and second runner up respectively.
The DST Group also bagged the champion title for the Corporate Team Challenge in the female category while BIBD and Standard Chartered Bank came in second and third places respectively.
The best corporate team video award went to Darussalam Assets.
Meanwhile in the 10km Long Haul Male event, Sefli Ahar emerged as champion while first runner up was Samsul Zambri and Abdul Malik Awang Hidup came in third place.
In the 10km Long Haul Female event, the champion was Bryony Cameron-Smith and Owena Pozzi-Gurung came in second place while Marni Ahmad came in third place.
Roszamani Efis won the 5km Short Haul Male event, while first runner up was Hj Abd Hafiz Hj Awg Damit and second runner up was Haafizh Abd Wahab.
In the 5km Short Haul Female event, Vanesa Lobb was the champion while Fatin Hj Awang Ismail and Shazana Hamirolzama won the second and third places respectively.
The event also saw fantastic prizes given away in a grand lucky draw, as lucky runners walked away with prizes such as return tickets to London, Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur; hotel stays at Nusa Dua Bali, Hyatt Regency Kota Kinabalu, The Empire Hotel & Country Club, Radisson Hotel, Shangri-La Hotel Surabaya, Flora Hospitality Surabaya as well as Royal Skies Miles and Fitness Zone gym membership.
According to RB, a donation presentation for Green Brunei and Paralympic Brunei – the beneficiaries of the charity run's proceeds – will be held in two weeks' time.

"I would think that Brian Lara would be the one to captain the side at this stage with his experience and so on," said Weekes.
"Frank Worrell was captain of the side when he was 36, 37 or even older and he is still accepted in the view of many as the best West Indies captain we've ever had.
"And Brian Lara can do that chore I believe. He's an intelligent player, he's an intelligent person, and if I were the selectors, I would offer him the job. You've got be a thinking player to perform like he does," Weekes told the Trinidad Express.
Lara, 36, was West Indies captain twice before but was replaced as skipper earlier this year by Shivnarine Chanderpaul who has so far won one Test match and lost seven in 11 games.
Lara has also fallen foul of the West Indies authorities in 2005 after sitting out last July's tour to Sri Lanka as well as the first Test in South Africa in March after a row over sponsorship.
Lara, who is the top run-maker in Test history with an aggregate of 11,187 runs at an average of 54.04, has hinted that he wants to play in the 2007 World Cup before he calls it a day.

Figure Photo Shoot: Nendoroid Kudryavka Noumi
Tuesday, August 2, 2011 8/02/2011

Labels: Figures , View Comments
I really like Kudryavka Noumi from Little Buster! and Kud Waffer. She is absolutely cute and bubbly. When I found out that a nendoroid figure of her was coming out, I knew that I must get her right away.
I like Kudryavka but the figure is a bit disappointing. Most nendoroid figures I have seen have a lot of great accessories, this one is lacking in that department, due to that she has limited poses. If you are interested, a while back I did a photo shoot of the Alter version of Kudryavka.
