As part of Placer County's long-term planning, the Department of Facility Services and the County Executive Office work on parallel tracks regarding future county needs for space. Facility Services updates the Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan. The Executive Office updates the Capital Facilities Financing Plan. At its regularly scheduled meeting this week, the Placer County Board of Supervisors heard updates on both plans.
The 1993 Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan proved to be an accurate tool for planning Capital Projects by providing a detailed assessment of all needs in a complex, multi-year process and by giving trend data for square footage needs.
The Master Plan provided a projection of County space needs through the year 2011. The data developed for facilities planning provided a basis for construction of new facilities throughout the County. The Plan only projected needs through 2011, and the Department of Facility Services, with the Board's direction, is undertaking a Plan update to develop new long-term facility projections. In March, 2011, the Board received a progress update on the Plan and provided direction to staff to continue the master planning process, including the following tasks:
After completion in 1993 of the Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan, the Capital Facilities Financing Plan was developed to manage funding of major capital facilities. The CFFP was most recently reviewed by the Board in July, 2006, August, 2007, and April, 2009.
Because capital construction facility financing is dynamic, planning, cost estimation and funding, and project prioritization need to be periodically reviewed by the Board. Factors that can affect construction costs and that can change over time include: environmental issues; market conditions; labor costs; construction material costs; water and air quality compliance costs; and energy efficiencies.
The Capital Facilities Financing Plan provides a framework for the delivery of capital facility projects over the next decade. From 2011 through 2021, the Financing Plan identifies $237 million in projects for the County. The Tier 1, or top priority, projects include:
From 1999 through 2010, the CFFP has funded more than $231 million in projects. They include:

There was a moment at graduation that was very moving, when everyone got their diplomas. And I think there was a three- or four-star general who had come in to give out the diplomas, and he gave the graduation speech in Arabic. I think he was from an Arabic speaking home himself. So there were many moments that were not at all about preconceived ideas of what peace was or what activism is or about sticking up for your rights. All of that was gone. It was a very human setting, how people were trying to improve their lives through learning from each other. It was very moving for me.

I've begun a new tradition this summer. Every Wednesday is date day.
After we drop Elle off at daycare, we ride the gondola into town. We might stroll to the Coffee Cowboy, investigating lampposts along the way. Then we head to the dog wash, Whiskers and Tails, where I spend the next six hours selling pet food and washing dogs while Eddy naps and eats cookies.
It's my new summer job, which doubles as my weekly doggie date day with my nearly 10-year-old mutt, Eddy. Big, lazy, black-and-white Eddy, who spends much of our time together at the dog wash snoozing in the corner, lumbering up occasionally to beg a customer for one of those delicious chicken cookies – yes, those ones right there, watch! I'll even sit if you give me one! To any other Telluride dog, hanging at the dog wash may seem like a lackluster highlight of the week, what with Jud Wiebes to run, chipmunks to chase and rivers to swim. But for Eddy, the 10-year-old dog in a family with a 1-1/2 year- old daughter, those afternoons are precious.
Eddy is a dog of mixed variety including but not limited to labrador and Valley Cow (OK, we just had to think of something more remarkable to say than "mutt" when people asked what breed he is, and he does have similar markings to the erstwhile Valley Floor dwellers, and he can be just as stationary). His is the classic rags-to-riches story, the doggie Cinderella: From eating out of dumpsters in Colorado Springs alleys to a stint in juvie (really the Animal Shelter, but again, we embellish…) to, finally, a cushy bed in a warm house with plenty of Flint River Ranch double-baked gourmet dog food to eat in a town where everyone on the sidewalk is good for a pat on the head and even the ladies at the bank dole out dog cookies.
Life was good. Eddy spent the summers hiking with his doggie friends, the winters curled up by the fire, all the while being the sole beneficiary of all the attention his two human caretakers could dispense.
Then along came a strange-smelling, wriggly little bundle. And everything in Eddy's world flipped upside down, because no longer was Eddy the axis of attention at Chez Prohaska.
His wiggly-butt greetings at the front door were once met with hearty scratches behind the ears, followed in short order by a leisurely walk down the trail with promises of dinner and more ear scratching upon return. Rarely a day passed when he wasn't ushered into the car (backseat of course, never the dreaded way back!) or onto the gondola for some exciting outdoor adventure. His bed was his own, his food dish was his own and he shared his dog toys with no one.
The Eddy of today is but a stooped shadow of his former self.
Now, his wiggly-butt greetings at the front door are met with an exasperated "Eddy, out of the way," and the only thing that might come close to an ear-scratch is an accidental thump on the head by a wayward diaper bag. "Go outside and go potty" is as close to a pre-dinner walk as he usually gets. Dinner, which used to happen at 5:30 p.m. on the dot, can now be delayed for many angst-ridden hours. Whereas someone used to notice a large black-and-white dog waiting patiently in front of his dog bowl (which never, by the way, contained mysterious inedible items like baby spoons, Tupperware lids, or wooden blocks), today no-one pays any heed. And the one place he isn't shoed out of or away from – his bed, tucked into a corner near the fireplace – has nowadays become the favorite clubhouse of one loud and ever-busy Baby Elle.
The only advantage of this new living situation is the opportunity to lick the floor under the highchair after she eats cottage cheese.
So spending six hours without a small child yanking your tail, rousting you out of your bed or throwing a baby doll into your water dish is, in fact, pure bliss for an often-overlooked but nevertheless dutiful and still well-loved pet of a family with a new human member.
Indeed, an afternoon spent riding gondolas, sniffing lampposts, napping uninterrupted, eating cookies, and yes, even getting a bath or two, is a welcome respite from the hard-knocks life of a dog with a new baby in the family.

Author On the Bookcase: Mitchell James Kaplan, author of By Fire, By Water
Author On the Bookcase
Mitchell James Kaplan
History and religion and politics -- oh my!
I'm pleased to welcome Mitchell James Kaplan, author of the debut novel, By Fire, By Water. Mitchell's book tells the heartbreaking story of Luis de Santangel, the courtier who convinced Queen Isabella to sponsor Christopher Columbus's voyage of discovery in 1492. Combining a passionate love story with a religious mystery, By Fire, By Water closely follows historical events during a troubled time, when the medieval social order was collapsing.
Mitchell tells us about "his voyage of discovery'" when readers explore his book and find additional story lines.
Set sail, Mitchell!
When I began researching By Fire, By Water, my intent was to place Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage in context. Schoolchildren, it seemed to me, rarely learned much about the world Columbus left behind. Without understanding his world, how could anyone grasp the purpose and meaning of his voyage?
He sailed from southern Spain, where the emirate of Granada, the last Islamic political entity in Europe, had recently fallen to Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. On the Santa Maria, Columbus took along a native of Granada, a Jew recently baptised with the name Luis de Torres, as official interpreter. According to Columbus's journals, de Torres spoke Arabic, Aramaic, and Hebrew in addition to Spanish. Columbus apparently thought these languages would be useful where he was going.
Where, then, was he going? My research convinced me that Columbus was sailing not just to the Indias described by Marco Polo, but to Terrestrial Paradise – that is, the Garden of Eden. Beyond that lay Jerusalem. People in these places, Columbus believed, spoke the same languages as Luis de Torres – Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic. The idea of returning to paradise and Jerusalem held religious value for Columbus, who believed the end of the world was at hand and thought of himself as a sort of messiah figure.
My first draft of By Fire, By Water told the story of Luis de Torres, the Jewish witness to the fall of Islamic Granada who ended up as Christopher Columbus's Christian interpreter in a land where no one had ever heard of Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Spanish, Moses, Jesus, or Mohammed. It also portrayed Columbus and the religious fervor with which he conceived and pursued his vision.
Columbus spent about a decade researching and trying to "sell" his project. One royal court after another refused to sponsor him, but the Genoese mariner remained fervent. His last hope was Isabella of Castille, who sent him away three times without making a commitment. At this point, another figure steps in – Luis de Santangel, chancellor of Aragon. He convinces the queen to sponsor Columbus's voyage, offering to arrange the financing.
Why, I wondered, did the chancellor of Aragon so forcibly associate himself with Columbus's far-fetched dream? As I explored this question, it became clear that Luis de Santangel stood at the center of the most horrific events of his time: Isabella's usurpation of the crown of Castille, the brutal Spanish Inquisition, the war against Granada, and the expulsion of all the Jews from Spain. For the chancellor as for Columbus, the proposed voyage of discovery must have held within it a religious hope for something better.
My novel evolved into the story of how a worldly, skeptical courtier slowly bought into the fantasy of a Genoese sailor – and then, in a triumph of faith over reason, how that fantasy turned out to be true.
With my second draft, I retold the story not from Luis de Torres' perspective but from that of Luis de Santangel. The Spanish Inquisition took on more importance, not because I had intended to write a novel about the Spanish Inquisition but because the Spanish Inquisition played such a significant role in Santangel's life.
For me, the core of the story remained what it had always been, an exploration of the background of Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage. What a surprise, then, to learn first from my publisher and then from the reading public that others saw it as a novel not about the background of Columbus's voyage, but about the Spanish Inquisition.
And so, my own voyage of discovery continues. The book I thought I wrote is not exactly the book others read. I have no problem with that. By Fire, By Water is more like a land I discovered than a world I created. I don't own that land. As readers explore it, I find their reports sometimes surprising, but always intriguing.
Thank for sharing your exploration into your novel with us, Mitchell. Reading groups will discover many discussible topics in By Fire, By Water!

Evaluation of a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Program for Latina Women and Their Children
Hortensia D. Amaro, Ph.D.,Northeastern University
Rita Nieves, RN, MPH, Boston Public Health Commission
Sergut Wolde Yohannes, MPH, EdM, New England Research Institutes
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Body of Abstract
The Entre Familia program, cited at the Boston Public Health Commission, was first funded in 1995 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as a model substance abuse treatment program for Latina/Hispanic women and their children. It provided a comprehensive, gender- and culturally specific family focused 12-month residential treatment for substance abuse. The purpose of the program evaluation was to measure and demonstrate the effectiveness of this program in treating substance abusing Latina/Hispanic women and to document challenges and approaches in implementation. In this abstract, we report only on the outcomes of the treatment program.
This study employed a one-group pre-post test design with repeated measures over time. Data from clients were obtained via structured in-person interviews conducted by a bilingual/bicultural trained research interviewer at admission, discharge, and 6- and 12-month post discharge. Additional data were collected from a quarterly service instrument and a discharge form that were completed by program staff. The major study outcomes of interest were treatment effects on
- drug use
- physical and mental health status
- involvement in the criminal justice system
- employment
- participation in school/vocational training
- reliance on public assistance.
During the first 5 years of the program, of the 125 women admitted to the program, 82 (66%) women completed the 6-month follow-up interview and 72 (58%) completed the 12-month follow-up interview. No statistically significant differences in baseline background characteristics were found between women who enrolled in the study and those who completed the 6-month interview and those who completed 12-month interview. Analysis of pre-post measures on the major outcomes were conducted on all clients with completed measures at 6 and 12 months post discharge by using McNemar Chi-square analysis and paired t-tests. At 6 months post discharge, we found statistically significant reduction in: 1) drug use (p <0.001), 2) physical health problems (p=0.012), 3) reliance on public assistance (p<0.001), and 4) criminal justice involvement (p=0.008); and a statistically increase in employment (p<0.001). At 12 months post discharge reductions in these areas except criminal justice involvement remained significant. In addition, there was a significant increase in school enrollment at 12 months post discharge (p=0.004). At 6 and 12 months post discharge, no statistically significant change in mental health status as measured by McNemar Chi-square test. By using Chi-square analyses, we found women with better outcomes at 12 months post discharge usually had less experienced depression and psychological trauma, was older, and stayed in treatment longer than 180 days. The influence of baseline client characteristics and program factors on client treatment retention was assessed by using Chi-Square analysis and t-tests, and none of these factors were found statistically significantly associated with program retention.
The evaluation on the first 5 years of the Entre Familia program demonstrated decreases in drug and alcohol use and improvements in health and social functioning. The program has achieved statistically significant improvements in most targeted outcomes, which demonstrates the effectiveness of this gender, culture and language-specific program in treating substance abusing Latina/Hispanic women. However, caution in interpreting the results should be noted due to loss at follow-up assessments and possible associated biases.

Connect the Process of Problem Solving with the Content of the Common Core Mathematics educators have long worked to help students to develop problem-solving skills. More recently, they have sought to provide students with the knowledge in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This volume is the third in a series from NCTM that equips classroom teachers with targeted, highly effective problems for achieving both goals at once. For every mathematics educator, the books in this series will illuminate a crucial link between problem solving and the Common Core State Standards.

South Fayette hosts Seton in showdown
South Fayette hosts Seton-La Salle in Century showdown
Brendan Aiello breaks through the line on his way to a big gain during Seton-La Salle's victory over Steel Valley. He scored on a 1-yard run in the Rebels' 28-7 win over the Ironmen.
Brett Brumbaugh ranks among the leaders in the WPIAL in passing with 41 completions on 66 attempts for 681 yards and nine scores.
Justin Watson
Tyler Perone runs around his blockers on his way to a 62-yard touchdown run against Steel Valley. The junior ranks third in the WPIAL in passing with over 800 yards and nine TD aerials.
In the classrooms and hallways as well as on the practice fields at Seton-La Salle and South Fayette, it's a football week and all thoughts are on Lions and Rebels as the two teams prepare for the clash of the Century Conference. The two undefeated clubs square off at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at South Fayette.
"This is what high school football is supposed to be; two teams going at it. If you are not ready to play this game, then," trailed off SLS skipper Greg Perry.
Rival coach Joe Rossi concurred. "It's what high school football is all about," he emphasized. "The preparation. The whole week in school and in practice; there's the excitement, the hype and the build-up for Friday night. We always have a great game every year that we have played them."
Friday will be no exception as both teams enter the fray with 4-0 records. And though both clubs still must play unbeaten Quaker Valley, they know the winner emerges as the eventual conference champion. Such has been the recent history.
The Lions have won three of the past four league titles and they beat the Rebels on their home turf each time: 21-14 in 2009 to preserve an unblemished regular season; 42-35 in 2010 when SF won the WPIAL crown and finished second in the state; and 51-12 in 2012 when the Lions ran the table in the conference and reached the district semifinals.
Although neither won the conference in 2007 and 2008, SLS won the bout with the Lions. In 2011, when the Rebels won the division, they topped the Lions, 33-10, at South Fayette.
With that fact in mind, Perry is unhappy playing on the road. At Baldwin, one of SLS's playing sites, the stadium not only served as the scene of the 51-12 debacle, but also proved the place for the Rebels' recent struggle, a 28-7 victory over Steel Valley. In the Sept. 20 contest, the Ironmen, whom the Lions demolished only a week prior, 42-7, led, 7-0, until the first play of the fourth quarter.
"We don't play well here," Perry admitted of Baldwin. "We needed a win and we got it," he said of Steel Valley. "We'll take them any way we can get them.
"They've won over here and we've won there at South Fayette," he continued. "So that helps."
Familiarity aids the teams, too.
"We are very familiar with them and they with us. The last four years it has been the two of us for the conference championship," Perry said.
"It's always a great game," agreed Rossi. "We had our key game against Steel Valley and it's sure a physical test when you play them. I'm sure they (SLS) are sore from their game but when it comes around to game day, they'll be ready to roll from there."
Since opening day, the Lions have been rolling. Before blasting the Ironmen, they blanked Keystone Oaks, 59-0, and whipped McGuffey, 41-14. Last week, South Fayette demolished Burgettstown, 74-7.
In the victory, Brett Brumbaugh completed 7 of 9 passes for 127 yards and four scoring strikes; two to Justin Watson (1 and 55 yards), and one each to Hayden Orler (11 yards) and Conner Beck (16 yards).
The junior has started since his freshman year and threw for 2,283 yards and 37 scores last year. However, Brumbaugh has completed 48 of 76 aerials for 681 yards and nine scores this fall.
"Brett has done all that we have expected of him. He doesn't have a lot of throws due to the scores we have put up in our games," explained Rossi. "That's always a concern going into a game like SLS. But, Brett's a great player. He makes great plays and he has great players around him."
Brumbaugh and all his weapons are of primary concern to the Rebels.
"They are a great team and I think we are okay," Perry said. "We have to shut Brett down and play good defense. Once they complete a pass, we can't let them get the extra yardage."
Extra yardage is the forte of receivers like Watson and company. The University of Pennsylvania recruit leads with 313 reception yards and five scores followed by Beck (135 yards, 2 TDs).
Even though they graduated Zach Challingsworth, SF has been a well-oiled machine on offense. The Pitt freshman not only led the Lions in receiving for two seasons, he punted, returned kicks and excelled in the defensive secondary.
In the win over the Blue Devils, however, Roman Denson returned the opening kickoff 87 yards for the first of 12 touchdowns, seven in the first frame. Zach Walker, Grant Fetchet and Nick Ponikvar rushed for scores of 4, 6 and 77 yards and Jack Relihan returned an interception 96 yards for another TD before intermission.
In the second half, SF played most of its reserves. Mike Speca, who earlier in the game tossed a 14-yard TD to Dan Lombardi, rushed for a 76-yard score. Jake McKee also ran for a 9-yard touchdown.
Brian Coyne kicked seven extra points. Nathan Faux and Dan Trimbur also contributed successful PATs.
"We knew our offense would be good with our numbers returning and we had guys who have stepped up after we lost Challingsworth," Rossi explained. "We are particularly pleased with the backs. Our running game has come on."
Fetchet is the top rusher with 468 yards and eight scores followed by Hunter Hayes (152 yards, 1 TD).
Decimated by graduation, the defense has excelled for the Lions, who are allowing only 100 yards of offense and seven points per game. Guys such as Orler, who moved from corner to outside linebacker, Jared and Zach Walker at the inside slots, Beck and Ben Berkovitz on the line have been outstanding. The Walker brothers are the leading tacklers while Berkovitz is the sack man, followed by Bryce Christoff.
Rossi said that he is particularly pleased with his defense because of its lack of experience.
"We lost a lot of starters," he explained, "but I am definitely pleased with the defense. Those guys rally around the football. Orler is making plays. He's been phenomenal as have been the Walker brothers.. Roman is making players and Conner is one of our best defensive players. Ben is just so tough to block. He's done a good job, too."
SLS, like the Lions, have done a good job on defense but then the Rebels had nine veterans return from last year's 8-2 squad. Defense has held SLS in games until the offense has gotten on track. Such was the case against Steel Valley as the Rebels did not start clicking until exploding for all 28 points in the fourth frame.
Brandon Aiello plunged into the end zone for a 1-yard score to start the fourth quarter. Despite bobbling the hand-off and nearly fumbling, Tyler Perone turned a shaky play into a 62-yard mad dash into the end for the second score with 6:38 to play. Dom DelGreco followed with a 69-yard punt return for a touchdown before James Ross picked off a pass and returned it 8 yards into the end zone with 38.7 seconds to play.
Billy Jackson, Jacob Blahut and Mike Kalnas, on defense, helped spark the Rebels recovery.
"We have a senior group and we had to get at them at halftime," explained Perry. "Steel Valley played well. Run is what they do well and we made some adjustments and slowed them down in the second half. The offense sputtered around a bit but the kids made the plays when they needed to. Now it's on to week five.
Heading into week five of Century Conference action: Perone ranks among the top three passers in the WPIAL with over 800 yards. His top targets include Danzel McKinley-Lewis, Tom Rizza and Ricky Mellick.
"I'm anticipating a good game. Everybody is," Perry continued. "It could come down to who has the ball last and who makes the big plays."
In other words, South Fayette versus Seton-La Salle this Friday will be the epitome of the classic high school football game.

The Southern Coast: Places to Explore
Kennebunkport has been a resort area since the 19th century, but its most famous residents have made it even more popular—the presidential Bush family is often in residence in their immense home, which sits dramatically out on Walker's Point on Cape Arundel. The amount of wealth here is as tangible as the sharp sea breezes and the sounds of seagulls overhead. Newer mansions have sprung up alongside the old; a great way to see them is to take a slow drive out along the cape on Ocean Avenue. The area focused around the water and Dock Square in downtown Kennebunkport is where you can find the most activity (and crowds) in the Kennebunks. Winding alleys disclose shops and restaurants geared to the tourist trade, right in the midst of a hardworking harbor. Often called the "the Port," downtown's commercial activity continues right across the harbor bridge to Kennebunk's Lower Village. It's all seamless to visitors; many don't realize they have crossed into another town.

With all the different things I love about fashion, over-groomed starlets wearing expensive dresses is not usually at the top of the list. I've usually already seen their clothes at preceding fashion weeks, and so there is generally very little exciting about seeing them again on unnaturally shiny celebrities. I am more interested in the Met Costume Institute exhibition than I am interested in who wore what at the gala that opened it (well ok, with the exception of Chloe Sevigny).
However, as things tend to happen following an event of this sort, the entertainment blogs and mags like to divvy up the looks into the thoroughly scientific categories of what is "hot" and what is "not." The best dressed lists seem to consist of those who were the most traditionally pretty: buzz words like "flattering" and "feminine" get thrown around. Which, naturally, leaves everything else to the worst dressed list. Perhaps it is my inner contrarian that needs to defend the honour of the riskier pieces, perhaps I just like to cause a fuss with my clothes (like that time in the tenth grade I went to school wearing leg warmers over flared jeans in order to prove a point to my mom – a point which I cannot remember, but it was important, let me tell you). Yeah, yeah, we all know Marion Cotillard and the legions of ladies in sparkling floor length gowns looked nice, but they've gotten enough praise already.
Here are my choices for looks that got unfairly slammed by the critics:
I decided I would put Kristen Stewart (wearing Chanel Haute Couture) first because 1) it was probably the most universally panned by bloggers and 2) got your attention, didn't it? MTV says: "Her outfit last night looked like a prom dress gone wrong. Essentially, the cut and shape were totally unflattering." Maybe it's just because the girls who covered teen magazines when I used to buy them a long time ago (read: 2004) tended to be impossibly sunny and dressed in technicolour poufs (you wanna talk prom dresses gone wrong?) Either way, I can appreciate the existence of a teen queen who prefers to wear a sheer skirt on the red carpet and who doesn't know how to fake a smile if her life depended on it. I swear I'm not just saying that in an attempt to get page hits from Twilight fans.

Count me in Gagginhoover, plus one verbally-abusive, yet strangely hospitable wife, and her smaller, updated, male, and just as foul-mouthed beta-release version.
Guggengassenstaffer: You will be missed, man...However, we also know that you're off taking part in one of those rare opportunities and that you'll probably be sucking back pints of maple syrup in no time flat...As they say, the art is long and the life is short - enjoy!
Fingerless: I'm actually involving myself in several personal projects over the next week and have already been scolded for the number of curious constructions that I'm presently in the process of erecting...I've spread from the office out into the kitchen and you can bet that I'm catching all sorts of hell from the cruel mistress that tugs at my leash...If you guys meet up, it most likely will be sans A-Doll...
Artifex Abbey: I'm onto that thing you mentioned: 11.5% and counting...
To the rest of you lot: I hope your creations are rich, your mind ever expanding, and your nights filled with terrific dreams of other worlds...
This thread is getting lonely, especially with Gugg not making every other post. Do you guys want to meet up some time next week? Any day is good for me since my break will start by then.
Sorry...no silly quips right now...maybe later if you behave yourselves
Dunno, nofingers. I'm gonna be gone a lot from the family over the next week or so, but I might be able to make it somewhere close. I'll wait for you to get a day and place set up before I commit. My schedule is going to be in major flux.
Heigh-hoooooo! Heigh-hoooooo!
That's the best part of that song. You know, the dwarves are calling out for the rest of their crew to get ready to start locking the flow wee-man style (big beats, y'all!). Oh, you know what I'm talking about. When you come rolling up on the Black Forest Mafia, you don't get the "wup wup" - you get the "Heigh-hoooo!"
And keep your eyes on Dopey. It's the ones that don't have anything to say that are the first to knick you with their hobo knives...I don't trust anyone who's ears are larger then the rest of his head...Or droolers... I just want to say, "Get a frickin' bib, man..."
Got some chat time in last night with Flash Guggengordon - sounds like he's already putting the mayonnaise on his french fries...I hear he'll be representin' The ATL by hosting The Workshop's first eva' CATL Down Home Country Gravy Pig Wrassle...Sadly, he was not able to get the hog passed security at the airport (I told him they don't allow curly-tailed carry-ons)...So, who knows how that's going to fair...
In other news, I had "lunch with Loomis" yesterday and can finally report that I've made a bit of a leap. I used to say that my graphite skills had atrophied to the level of 8th art class...Now, I'm finally somwhere between 10th and 11th grade...Geezus, I've got catching up to do...
Yours with pencil in hand,

Today's weather: 10% chance of rain, and a 99.9% chance of a scriptographic ejaculation by AD.
I just picked myself up a new anatomic tome, myself, so watch your back. I'll be aiming high to cap you over your half-height dwarven drive-by crew.
Speaking of scriptographic ejaculation - if you've got two eyes in your head and learned to read letters, moneyshots for everyone!Originally Posted by Artifex33

=D and yes... the mini-CATL junk was fun =)
~chasing whims is not always a waste of time~
sketchjunk thread give me a MOO!!!CATLsketchgroup
Aw, yeah - dropping in on the zoo 30-deep style. I can already see it in my head:
Every few yards or so, some artiste passed out from or in the throes of dehydration....half-sketched reptilians lined across the page...the cries of Guggen-eh?-Canadian lifted over the ape pens like a saxon battlecry:
"Leave the dead...Keep sketching!"
Good times to come.
Triple-H: Glad to see you rawking the boards. Looking forward to what your time off has helped you produce.
Fae (seelie or unseelie?): "She's like a ghost, y'all!" Hope your time away has been productive as well and that you've got some inspiring work to drop on us.
NoFingersJustStumps: According to my Miss Molly Pratchett's Guide to Bringing Your Girlfriend/Boyfriend/"We're just friends (until I find the right time to tell her/him I love her/him and present her/him with this gift I made out of my own body hair) To The Zoo, you will be required to take one of these necessary steps to insure that your significant other has an enjoyable time:
1) Purchase a plastic-injected scultpure of some animal, which you will later steal from her claiming you "needed it for an animal anatomy lesson" when really you just thought it was too cool for her...
2) Purchase two flattened and stamped pennies from the penny flattening and stamping machine, which will be seen as a thoughtful gesture, but a waste of two pennies...and four dollars...
3) Continue to forcefeed your date flavored-ice drinks until she passes out from the rush of cold to her Prefrontal Cortex, providing you the opportunity to sketch, unimpeded, until she finally stirs hours later...at which point you will confess that she was struck by "some loose critter" and was only spared a messy fall due to your quick reflexes, which you will openly attribute to your careful study of the X-men comic book series...
Personally, I will be hiding in the darker parts of the park, as I've received intel that reports Wes-Master-Fex has been secretly conditioning his son to remove key members of our organization in the hopes of starting his own rival sketch group: The Legion of Wes...I for one know it's best not to be taken alive...That boy is not afraid to recite the complete Pokemon roster from heart..."My ears! I'm bleeding from the ears! Call him off, Wes!"
Yeah, and don't make passes at the other CATL members.
AsthmaticDinosaur: I'm not sure you're advice applies to me or my significant other, as she in an artist herself, and she will also be down for hot sketch action, so I'm not too worried about her being bored. But I appreciate your concern, and I am sadened at not hearing the whole pokemon spiel
Gredel: who......me?
EDIT: Hey Seansea, good luck in Cali
Last edited by nofingers; June 12th, 2006 at 08:57 PM.
I'm moving back to Cali this upcoming weekend. Some promising opportunites came up that I just can't pass up. It was great hangin out/sketchin' with you all. It'll be a hot minute before any posts come up to since I will be sans computer for a while. You guys have been great and I'll be a CATL member in spirit.
old sketchbook... new sketchbook...under construction
Fingerless: I was unaware that your lady friend was an artist...Hell, you'll be fine then...just long as you don't fall prey to the pokemon...
Seansea: Wha? Going back to Cali (Cali...Cali...)? Hey, man - it's been a blast...Good luck and keep us posted on what new endeavors you find yourself mixed up in...
No worries on the pokemon recital. My son's much more likely to regale you with tales of his exploits on the Spanish Main back in his buccaneering days. He's been going around the house with a cloth bag full of loose change saying, "AAAAARGGH!"
Just a note- I updated the CATL sketchthread with our mini-meeting.
And...my sketchbook too.
aww bye Chauncey! We'll miss you--- be safe and keep us updated on what's up!!!
~chasing whims is not always a waste of time~
sketchjunk thread give me a MOO!!!CATLsketchgroup
nofingers: You don't fool me. You're foxier than Foxy McFoxerson with a little bit of weisel thrown in. I'm watching you <sqinty eyes of suspicion>
Oh, man. What is it about a mid-day nap that causes you to wake in a stupor that resembles the results of a bar fight gone wrong. You know the one. That time you let that bottle of Grey Goose do the talking for you and you couldn't believe that the words coming out of your mouth resembled the same misaligned banter of a professional wrestler...The kind of talk that seems to attract every bumble-eff jackhole who just so happens to be looking to impress the ladies with "what I learned off my new Bas Rutten DVD!"
Keep everything simple, don't try anything crazy and all your strikes must be hard! NOTHING WEAK, no jabs or weak attacks. - Bas Rutten
Yeah, that kind of scary stupor...Anyone have any scientific evidence that points to why?
G-Grack: It's best to keep your eyes on that guy. I've heard rumors that his earthbound sketchbook contains secret sonnets and he's got some animal magnetism thing working for him. I remember walking back from the Civic Center, Fingerless. Don't you deny it. Those girls almost drove off the overpass trying to get across the road to you. You need to tone down your "Van Damme" before someone gets killed.
HHH/Fae: Good choices for your sketchjam (the faces/RPG classes). I think we'll have to cannibalize those into our standard repitore (with credit given where credit is due, of course).
Where the 'ell is the Guggs? I know he rolled up to Can-ah-di-ah with his portfolio, but do you think he landed a job right then and there? Did he say, "Yes!" to the big paycheck and limitless artistic freedom? Or, did his plane crash somewhere in the Andes Mountains and he's right now consuming the pages of his moleskine sketchbook to sustain himself while sketching Rembrandt-inspired works on the backs of the dead? Do you think he hopped a ride with Chauncey and is now rawking it LA-style?
I'm starting the countdown. I don't hear anything by Friday, I'm dropping in on his digs (customary bottle of vino in-tow).
I got dibs on Gugg's freezer full of human torsos.....some are still pretty fresh. He better throw his stuff up on the site soon, cuz we all know he has some sweet stuff.
The reason that the ladies love the earthbound, is that whilst on my travels in Uraguay, I happened upon a small village under the rule of witchdoctors. I gave the chief a half-eaten Snickers, and in return, he put a spell of my sketchbook which caused all the ladies to quiver with glee upon seeing it. I no longer have control over its power, so I apologize to you dear ladies. There is an on/off switch on the back labeled "Make Ladies Quiver," but I dont know what it does, so I just hot glued it in the on position.
Analog: Dude, W..T..F is your new Avatar? I think I'm gonna retch.
Yeah, where's guggleplex (defined: the number of 30-year-old sheets of notebook paper in gugg's collection)?
[Edit]: NoFs: I totally misread "human torsos" as "human tacos" - did not phase me one bit...Nobody makes Salsa de Humano like Senor Guggenista...
Artifextastic: Last night, while listening to "DNA AM" from Combichrist and letting my mind work up some new "costuming," I decided that our buddy "Abdominal Head" needed a switch-out. So, I found myself a picture from Keita Amemiya's film Zeiram (personally Zeiram II is my fav of the two)...The main villain, Zeiram, has this sick hat with a curious, Kabuki-like face in the center...which, when provoked, comes alive and strikes snake-like out of his head...If you're not familiar with Amemiya's designs, I recommend checking them out. Stay away from the anime version - it was not up to snuff...
Fingerless: I knew there was something up with your sketchbook...I'll make sure I have my shots before I go exploring in it again...Wouldn't want to contract some necrotizing bacteria from the pages...Damn crazy witchdoktors...Unclean! Unclean!

Forgot to mention this earlier. Does anyone want to meet on friday or saturday for a mini CATL meeting?....might as well use this thread for its intended purpose.
I'm SOL for doing anything over the next few days. My vacation time has come to a close and I return to the 9-5 in the AM (I'm already dreading what fires I'll have to start my day putting out). I've got family stuff this weekend, which will eat into a lot of my available freetime, so I'd best just throw in the towel for this week.
Next week is solid for me. Anytime, anyplace.
Hey guys!!
(does anyone else have font changes on the site now???)
I've just gotten back from montreal and am in the process of preparing a report for you guys and every one else. for those of you whom I've distributed vintage notebook paper to, KNOW! that the notebook paper project was received with great enthusiasm and i now have some 40 drawings to SCANE...all amazing in their own way...
Holy crap our big CATL zoodaytrip is sploding up! Hope you can make it out fae! damn we're going to kick some drawing BUTT!
Unfortunately i'm not available to make awkward passes at CATL sketchgroup members until next week teehee i will write more later once i use my "decoder Guggles" to try and figure out what all has been said, eh?
and i've Got to go back and read all the mutilated versions of my username-maneuver. maybe i'll start a list of them
it's a bummer that we're not going to be able to do anything for chauncey's going away...Actually AD and I tried unsuccessfully to throw something together for tonight, but it wasn't in the Deck of CATL cards bummer bummer—> If any of you guys are willing to get together on friday or saturday SANS GUGG[/b], you should organize and figure something out---> I won't be able to attend because i'm attending some wedding festivities with "baby gun." Maybe i'll catch the garter and put it on the komodo dragoooon at the zoo.
cheers and jeers folks i'm working on an update for you with hearts

SILVERTON – Ed Nichols, president and State Historic Preservation officer for History Colorado (formerly the Colorado Historical Society), stood beside the weathered timbers and peeling tin of the Mayflower Mill outside Silverton on Monday. He'd come from headquarters in Denver to award a grant of $105,000 to the mill's owners for a micro-hydroelectric generating project. But before he did, he squinted into a brilliant, late-September sun and gestured up Cunningham Gulch, up the 9,000-foot long cable tramway still connecting the mill to the mining claims there. It took very little imagination, he said, on such a day and in such a place, to travel back in time to the heyday of gold and silver in the San Juan Mountains.
And that was precisely the point of his organization's Special Initiatives sustainability grants, he said, "to link the past and the future."
The grant recipient, the San Juan County Historical Society, which has owned the Mayflower since 1995 and operated it as a National Historic Landmark since 2000, will use the money to restore a water supply pipeline and install, with help from Telluride Energy, a micro-hydro turbine. When completed, it should offset the mill's $600/month electric bill and, possibly, have enough left over to contribute power to the grid.
Nichols spoke to a gathering of about 50 local citizens and dignitaries, including San Juan County commissioner Pete McKay, Mayor Terrence Kerwin and representatives from Senator Michael Bennett's office. He spoke of benefits to the Silverton community both tangible and intangible. "Heritage tourism," he said, "is one of Colorado's most important sources of income."
The Mayflower, also known as the Shenandoah/Dives Mill, is the last mill of its kind in the San Juans and is undergoing considerable restoration thanks to an earlier $375,000 grant from the State Historical Fund. "Your heritage effort here in Silverton is a model for rural economic development in small communities," Nichols said. "You're telling these stories together, as a community. You're living proof that if you take that past and link it to the future – make this a current resource – you are creating a basis for a sustainable future."
San Juan County Historical Society President Beverly Rich accepted the check. "A hundred and five thousand dollars will go a long a way in our little community," she said. And then she gave a history lesson.
The Mayflower was built in 1929 to take advantage of a new technology called flotation, "which allowed them to mine lower grades of ore profitably," Rich said. In its time, the mill processed 1,940,100 ounces of gold and 30 million ounces of silver. "Charles Chase ran the mill clear up until 1952. He kept this town alive."
Then the mill was sold to Standard Metals which supplied the mill with ore from its Sunnyside Gold Mine until its closing in 1991. "One of our board members, Zeke Zanoni, said, 'You know, all of the mills in the San Juans have been torn down. We oughta save this one.' We got it in 1995. We've created a nice mill tour. We have the mine tour up the valley. Now we can tell the complete story of mining and milling.
"Another thing we got," Rich said of the acquisition by the Historical Society, "was the Arastra Creek water rights. A century ago, mills all over the San Juans were powered by hydroelectric. Now we have this new grant from the Sustainability Initiative. And here we are." Past meets present meets future.

text: I am trying to compare the Am-Std Titan Pro Right Height Elongated Toilet # 2839.016.020 to the same or similar Eljer 091-077 toilet. When I call Eljer customer service, I get American Standard. Customer service twice told me they were identical toilets, yet I get the distinct impression they really don't know. I haven't been able to locate spec sheets for the Eljer Titan that show the measurements and diminsions for comparison. I have the specs for Am-Std. Does anyone know if these are IDENTICAL toilets? Or are there minor differences? Was also told that the only places to buy Eljer in Texas was Ace and True Value Hardware. Thanks from Texas.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 16, 2013 — On Oct. 6, James Madison lacrosse took part in the fourth annual Play for Parkinson's Lacrosse Series hosted by Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va. The two-day, invitation-only tournament showcased top men's and women's programs from the east coast in an effort to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's disease and research.
The five women's programs that competed alongside JMU on day two of the event were Duke, Georgetown, Maryland, Penn State and Towson. The Dukes entered the event after Northwestern was unable to compete.
"We are really appreciative that they (tournament organizers) thought of JMU," head coach Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe said. "We [were able] to compete against some of the programs that really gave us some high level competition and [gave] us some really good insight as to what our strengths and weaknesses might be early on in the season."
The Dukes faced off against Georgetown, the No. 6 seed in the 2013 NCAA women's lacrosse championship tournament, and Maryland, last year's No. 1 overall seed and national runner-up.
The Play for Parkinson's Lacrosse Series is sponsored by the ProjectSpark Foundation, which was founded by former Princeton lacrosse player Christian Cook and his sister, Lauren, after their mother was diagnosed with the disease.
"The real focus is to raise awareness, educate people and to help financially support Parkinson's research," Klaes-Bawcombe stated.
ProjectSpark is dedicated to eradicating Parkinson's disease and improving the quality of life for those suffering from the disease and their loved ones. The foundation works with other institutions in hopes of finding a cure for Parkinson's. Nearly $200,000 has been raised for this foundation through the Play for Parkinson's series over the past three years.
