Visual Art Approach
Elements of Art What are the ABCs of art? Introduce students to line, color, shape, form, texture, space, and value. This tour explores how artists utilize these basic elements to create a boundless visual language.
Methods & Materials How did the artist make that? Explore the relationship between an artist's ideas and techniques. This tour will compare and contrast at least three different media, such as painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking or textiles.
Language Arts Approach
What's the Story? Construct the elements of a story and guess what might happen outside of the frame. Characters, setting, and plot will be identified throughout the galleries as students determine the story in works of art from NOMA's collection.
Describe it! A picture may be worth a thousand words, but how do we describe what we see? This tour focuses on developing descriptive language as students are encouraged to use synonyms and adjectives to describe the artwork in front of them.
Social Studies Approach
History Detectives Follow the clues as you sleuth through the ages by exploring art objects from NOMA's permanent collection. The history detectives will discover what it was like to live in a different era as they explore the costumes, objects, and backgrounds in works of art.
My Country, My State Explore the development of the United States and Louisiana. Our rich artistic heritage will be highlighted as students learn how artists represent place by examining artwork from different eras of our nation's history.
Featured Exhibition Tours

Every Photograph Tells a Story In conjunction with the exhibition Photography at NOMA, this tour explores the variety of photographs collected by NOMA over the past 40 years.

The fire was found by the Sparks Police Department. Officers had noticed smoke coming from a home, and upon investigation found a garden hose leading inside through the front door. An adult male was at the end of the garden hose, attempting to extinguish a fire in the kitchen and trying to locate his cat.
Police evacuated the male from his residence and requested the fire department and REMSA to respond.
First fire companies on scene found the kitchen of the one-story home fully involved in fire. An attack hose line was deployed and an aggressive interior attack started. The Reno Fire Department responded with one engine which assisted with water supply, a back-up line and the initial back-up team to the attack team.
The occupant suffered minor smoke inhalation and was treated on scene by fire and REMSA personnel. He was not transported to the hospital. The occupant's cat was found in good condition.
The fire was knocked down within 8 minutes after the arrival of the first fire companies. There was significant fire damage to the kitchen and heat damage throughout the rest of the home and it is not in a condition to be reoccupied.
The Red Cross responded to assist the occupant with lodging.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
For more information, contact P.I.O. Tom Garrison, Division Chief/Administration, at 353-1618.

hi! my phone is on 1.1.3 with the dev team jailbreak and is on the 1.1.3 baseband of 4.03.13. I had imagined that with the new baseband the movies would be able to sync. Can someone prove me wrong?
hi! my phone is on 1.1.3 with the dev team jailbreak and is on the 1.1.3 baseband of 4.03.13. I had imagined that with the new baseband the movies would be able to sync. Can someone prove me wrong?
I got the 1.1.3-baseband and Nate's 1.1.3 soft upgrade, but still no sync with rented movies. :-(
dev jb 1.1.3-3 + new baseband = no luck: movie is send to the iphone but in the end an error message is coming up saying that the iTunes store couldn't be connected.
Hmm I can see probs when the official apps come out!
I've been having the same problem.... Originally used Nate's JB, and in fact at first had issues with any purchased content when coming from v1.1.1->v1.1.3. Redid Nate's JB from v1.1.2->v1.1.3 and all purchased content was fine except rentals.
This past weekend, I went through the whole process from scratch again with the official Dev Team JB, and even upgraded the BB to v04.03.13_G, but still no joy on transferring movie rentals. Same issues as described above... The movie transfers, and then iTunes complains about not being able to connect to the iTunes Store.
For the record, rentals transfer just fine to my iPod classic, iPod nano, non-JB iPod touch, and even the iPhone when I did a "clean" restore to v1.1.3 native (non-JB). It seems there's something in the JB process.
I even tried cleaning out the /var/root/Library/Lockdown folder, putting the stock (non-patched) lockdownd back in place and activating with my valid AT&T SIM card via iTunes. Rentals still do not work even in this configuration, so I don't think it has anything to do with the patched lockdownd or the bypassing of the normal activation process.
At this point, support for movie rentals appears to be the only outstanding issue I'm having with my v1.1.3. Even the Google Maps location feature now works just fine with the 04.03.13_G baseband.
Just jailbroke with Ziphone and I can confirm that movie rentals NOW transfer!
This is the real jailbreak, folks!

You CANT confirm?!

I'm happy someone put it out there, regardless of the accusations about it...

Guys, i can also confirm that it works:
I had a 1.1.3 DEV Team JB and made last week the Baseband upgrade to 1.1.3, then it still didn't worked. Today i tested it with the new zipphone JB and then moved Superbad to the iPhone - worked perfectly!

Let me tell you why GD is tanking: In our little town, some gentlemen years ago started a satellite antenna business. It grew and grew, getting lots of government and international contracts for everything from mobile satellite communication stations for the military to huge mountain-top ´deep space´ antenna arrays. The business was great! It drew the attention of GD, which threw a ton of money at the owners, who decided it was a pretty good time to retire in REAL luxury. GD takes it over, installs their management (who knew nothing about the business - literally), mostly bean-counter types sent in to ´lean up´ the business. So now, about 4 or 5 years down the road, they have taken a cash cow and turned it into a basket case. They have run off a lot of the people who actually knew how to build these things, in the name of cost cutting (on one of the few profitable businesses GD is in???), underbid humongous jobs and then blame the nuts-and-bolts guys for the ´overruns´. I´ve got no sympathy at all for GD. Bean counters can´t run a complex company.

Ulterior Motive to Discuss BLM Trails Plan
RIDGWAY – Before the mountain biking season begins, the RAT is restless.
The Ridgway Area Trails Group is hosting a public information session/movie/party this Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Sherbino Theater. The public information part is to discuss the proposed 16-22 miles of new single track on Bureau of Land Management property north of Ridgway.
The trail system is in its final stages of approval, with the BLM having issued a Draft
Environmental Assessment last month. Public comment on the EA is due Feb. 1, and all interested parties are asked to submit comments to blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo/travel_management.html. The Sherbino event will provide a venue for riders to submit comments to the BLM, as well as answer any questions about RAT's role in the process and its preferred alternative.
As a reward, afterward RAT will present the movie, Klunkerz, a 2006 documentary by Billy Savage on the history of mountain biking, subtitled: "They Reinvented the Wheel." The film stars mountain bike pioneers Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze, Mike Sinyard, Tom Ritchey and Charlie Kelly.
The RAT event begins at 7 p.m. For more information, visit sherbinotheater.com or call 970/201-8570.
Admission is $5, and there will be great giveaways (swag, t-shirts, stickers, etc.) at the end of the movie. All proceeds benefit the Colorado Plateau Mountain Biking Association, of which RAT is a member.
This event is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing and the Sherbino Theater.
About the RAT: Ridgway Area Trails (RAT) was conceived in 2004, when local residents approached the Ridgway State Park and the BLM with a proposal to develop a multi-use trail system on adjoining parcels of land these agencies manage. The parcels, on the outskirts of the Town of Ridgway, were identified as having ideal terrain, trail connectivity and access, and the process of obtaining permission for this project began. For more information, contact Brian Scranton, 970/201-8570 or visit ridgwaytrails.com.
About COPMOBA:
COPMOBA, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is a group of mountain bikers dedicated to the development and maintenance of regional mountain bike trails on the Colorado Plateau. Their main trails include Kokopelli's, Tabequache, and Paradox. The group also works on all mountain bike trails in the area and is always working to get new trails built.

You'd think after four seasons, 141 games and 4,573 minutes at Florida Kenny Boynton would have seen everything.
But on Friday night against Northwestern State, Boynton expects a first in his college career.
The Demons will substitute early, often and in waves against the Gators during the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The Southland Conference tournament champion has 10 players who average more than 15 minutes and will swap entire lineups at a time.
"I have not played in college against anybody who has subbed five at a time," Boynton said. "That's pretty different. A team like that, their intensity is going to be high the whole game. We have to do a great job matching their intensity."
The SEC regular-season champion Gators, 20-point favorites against the Demons, are not afraid to get into a track meet. Florida (26-7) likes to run, spot up in transition for open 3-pointers and get easy baskets off its press.
"We like to play fast, just like they like to play fast," point guard Scottie Wilbekin said. "They lead the nation in scoring (81 ppg), but just because of that we're not going to try to slow the game down or anything."
But the Gators do not want to play too fast, take rushed shots and turn the ball over against the Demons, who average 9.8 steals and had 21 against Oral Roberts.
"They're going to be coming at us 110 percent the whole game," center Patric Young said. "We not only have to match that but be smart."
Northwestern State's style of play requires buy in from the players.
Leading scorer Dequan Hicks, a transfer from New Mexico State, averages 14.1 points and shoots 58.6 percent, but averages just 20.1 minutes.
The idea of playing around half the game would not seem to be a selling points with recruits, but longtime coach Mike McConathy makes it work.
"I think that it's a great recruiting tool," he said. "A kid coming in as a freshman has an opportunity to play. But on the back side of that, they have to remember, when they get to be juniors and senior that when they were freshman they had an opportunity to play."
Senior James Hulbin, who averages 12.1 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds in 21.7 minutes, said he was happy to make the sacrifice.
"You know his style of play, you know his system," Hulbin said. "His system works. You know you're not going to come in and be the man."

Today we are going through to another in the new line of Logitech controllers and this time it's for the PC. I've used a few PC controllers from them and mostly liked what they had except for the D-Pad. Let's see if they fixed that and improved on other issues with the
Rumblepad 2
Rumblepad 2
is physically similar to the old
Dual Action
gamepad from Logitech. Designed like a PlayStation controller, the
Rumblepad 2
features twelve programmable buttons, a D-Pad, and two analog sticks. Four of the programmable buttons are triggers. Looking at the gamepad, you can easily be mistaken it for a PlayStation 2 controller from a distance. That's not a bad thing as the design works and it's been around for many years.
Each of the four main buttons is of nice size and protrudes from the surface at a nice height. Pressing the buttons produce good feedback and I liked the strength of the springs underneath. Spacing on the buttons is good and each button is clearly labeled 1-4 so you can easily know which button is being set in the game or OS.
Buttons five through eight are the triggers on the
Rumblepad 2
. Compared to the PlayStation 2
Cordless Action Controller
, the triggers on the
Rumblepad 2
actually feel a little better. The springs seem to feel a little stronger on this one over the PS2 controller but in reality they are probably the same. Sizes on the triggers are good and each button has the number etched into the trigger.
Two analog sticks offer good resistance in both movement and pushing. A common complaint I had of previous Logitech controllers were that the resistance with the sticks were too weak. They have corrected this with the
Rumblepad 2
and now both sticks feel great. Each snaps back to the neutral position at a nice clip. The two analog sticks are also buttons eleven and twelve.
A mode and vibration button changes the operation of the controller. Pressing the vibration button can cycle on and off the rumble feature. The mode button will switch between analog and digital mode. Pressing it switches the left analog stick to a hat control while the D-Pad becomes the X and Y axis.
Above the mode and vibration buttons are buttons nine and ten. They are placed similar to start and select buttons and I use them as such in most of my games.
The outer parts of the grips feature a non-slip rubber coating that helps you grip the controller and should provide friction when your palms get sweaty. The same rubber is also featured on the top of each analog stick.
Now we come to a part of the product that's been debated between our Editor-in-Chief, Charles Husemann, and I and that's the D-Pad. Logitech has stated that all D-Pads in their new products are exactly the same. I found the D-Pad on the PS2 controller to be quite good while Charles though the Xbox one was a little, well, cheap. Now I see what he was talking about. In the PS2 controller, the D-Pad is sunk more into the surface, thus minimizing the give and rotation of the D-Pad. On the Xbox controller, it's higher and gives more when moving around. The
Rumblepad 2
is also higher up here than the PS2 version and thus gives a little more. Compared to the regular Xbox controller where the D-Pad doesn't move or the PS2 where there's four buttons for the D-Pad, the
Rumblepad 2
's D-Pad does move around more. It's really a matter of preference as the movement doesn't hinder the performance. Playing through several MAME game and EA Sports games, I had no problems controlling the character on screen. Vertical and diagonal movements were translated to the game accordingly and I never felt I was out of control.
During the use of the
Rumblepad 2
I found it to be pretty comfortable and accurate. Given that the design is PlayStation 2-ish, that shouldn't be a surprise in terms of comfort. I liked the feel of the buttons and the analog sticks. Overall, the
Rumblepad 2
is a solid pad at $29.99. There's nothing really special about it, but it's an overall good gaming pad to own.

Havana's New Cigar: Cuaba
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
Wayne Gretzky, Mar/Apr 97
The large ballroom of the elegantly formal Claridge's Hotel in London is packed with tuxedo-wearing, claret-drinking, cigar smoking revelers celebrating the launch of Cuba's newest cigar brand, Cuaba. A fog bank of cigar smoke rolls past the podium as Francisco Linares, president of Habanos S.A., the global marketing organization for Cuban cigars, tells the group of about 200 why the brand has been developed.
The tall, stern-looking man explains how he had been in London a year before and noticed in cigar shops samples of antique Havana cigars that were perfecto/figurado shaped--the classic stogie, pointed at both ends. He decided that these shapes should be brought back into production. "London seemed like the right place to launch Cuaba, since these old Havana cigars have been preserved for many, many years there; and [Londoners] have loved smoking Havana cigars for more than 200 years," he tells the group.
As the Cuban speaks, a small, dark-haired man sits at one of the plush tables piled high with crystal glasses of Château Lafite Rothschild and plates brimming with rich food. He is fumbling with his black bow tie, which is slightly askew. He looks somewhat uncomfortable, like someone who would rather be doing something else. He turns to a cigar merchant sitting next to him and says in Spanish, "I would much rather be back at the factory rolling my cigars." He isn't joking.
Carlos Izquierdo Gonzalez, 61, has been in London for nearly a week, and even though it is his first time abroad and he finds England fascinating, he is longing to be back home in Havana with his family and his team of cigar rollers at the Briones Montoto factory (formerly Romeo y Julieta), producing one of Cuba's most exciting brands. Gonzalez masterminded the logistical rebirth of the figurado cigar through the creation of Cuaba. He was one of the last persons in Cuba who could still roll the figurado shapes. They hadn't been commercially rolled for nearly four decades, even though Partagas makes a figurado (the Presidente), which until recently was partially machine-made. It is now totally handmade.
"I had been trying for years to convince the factory to make figurados," he says during an interview in London the day before the Nov. 19 dinner. "I was making the cigars for myself to smoke. I didn't want to lose the tradition. It had to be continued. We had been talking about making these sizes again for years, and then someone finally listened to me at Habanos. It was a dream come true."
His team of 15 rollers made 40,000 to 50,000 cigars in 1996, and this year they expect to make about 150,000. Until this summer, the four sizes under the brand will be sold exclusively in the United Kingdom. Afterwards, they will be sold primarily in Casa del Habano (Havana House) shops around the world. The sizes are: Exclusivos, 46 ring gauge by 5 5/8 inches; Generosos, 42 by 5 1/8 inches, Tradicionales, 42 by 4 3/4 inches; and Divinos, 43 by 4 inches. They sell in British cigar shops for, respectively: £8.40 (about $14.30); £6.20 ($10.55); £5.80 ($9.85) and £5 ($8.50). "Today, there are too many people who want Cuaba," says Linares. "They ask for Cuaba in Spain. They ask for Cuaba in Mexico. They ask for it in Canada. But we have made an agreement [with the British] for six months. We are not in a hurry."
The name of the brand originates from the Taino Indians, the indigenous inhabitants of Cuba before the Spanish discovered the island in the fifteenth century. Apparently, cuaba was a type of bush the Indians used to light their cigars. The cigars themselves were called cohiba, the name given to Havana's previous new brand created in the mid-1960s.
The first thing you notice about the new line of Cuabas are their varied shapes. The are all standard lengths, but if you look at a box of, say, Generosos, you notice that they are all slightly different in shape. This is because the cigars are made without the aid of a mold, which standardizes the girth and shape of a cigar.
"These new sizes are some of the hardest to make in Cuba at the moment," says Gonzalez, who has been working at Briones Montoto since 1948. "You have to have great strength and skill in your hands and you have to know where to put the right amount of pressure on the filler and binder. The only other cigars as hard to make are the gran corona [Montecristo A] and prominente [double corona]. With those you have to have very strong and large hands."
He says that all the rollers recruited to make Cuaba are "grade seven," the highest rating a roller can achieve in an export cigar factory. (Apparently, some factories are considering introducing an even higher grade for rollers.) A handful of other rollers are being considered for the Cuaba group. "Most of the members of our team are young, in their 20s," Gonzalez says. "These young rollers are very capable and they learn fast."

Julian Schnabel: Years ago, I was down there with my cousin's wife Corky. She was wild — she wore makeup on her legs, and she had a streak in her hair like Yvonne De Carlo in "The Munsters." She liked to paint. I had overalls on with just a T-shirt and looked like whatever. We were trying to buy a bunch of supplies with my cousin Jesse's credit card. They looked at the credit card, and then they looked at us and thought maybe we stole the card, so they called Jesse up. He was a doctor who became the head of trauma at St. Vincent's. They said, "There's somebody here with this credit card and we want to know if it belongs to you."
He said, "Well, does the woman have dyed blonde hair and fake eyelashes and look like she stepped out of the backstage of some kind of silent movie, and is she with some guy who has wild hair and is kind of dressed like a bum?"
"Yeah, that's them."
"Yeah, that's my cousin and my wife. It's okay, they can charge it on my card."
~ Julian Schnabel Remembers NYC's Now-Shuttered Pearl Paint
MB Cool. I was really interested in the aerial photography from Enter the Void and how one could understand that conceptually as a POV, while in fact it's more of an objective view of the city where the story takes place. So it's an objective and subjective camera at the same time. I know that you're interested in Kubrick. We've talked about that in the past because it's something that you and I have in common—
GN You're obsessed with Kubrick, too.
MB Does he still occupy your mind or was he more of an early influence?
GN He was more of an early influence. Kubrick has been my idol my whole life, my own "god." I was six or seven years old when I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I never felt such cinematic ecstasy. Maybe that's what brought me to direct movies, to try to compete with that "wizard of Oz" behind the film. So then, years later, I tried to do something in that direction, like many other directors tried to do their own, you know, homage or remake or parody or whatever of 2001. I don't know if you ever had that movie in mind for your own projects. But in my case, I don't think about 2001 anymore now. That film was my first "trip" ever. And then I tried my best to reproduce on screen what some drug trips are like. But it's very hard. For sure, moving images are a better medium than words, but it's still very far from the real experience. I read that Kubrick said about Lynch's Eraserhead, that he wished he had made that movie because it was the film he had seen that came closest to the language of nightmares.

Kit Harington Gossip
Kit Harington gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Kit Harington's big movie
Pompeii opens today. It's Kit Harington's first time as the lead in a movie. And as much as I like him, as much as I hope he'll be successful, I'm not sure it's happening here, with this film. The reviews aren't great. And, worse, they're saying that Pompeii will probably be "crushed Full Story
The Khaleesi, Gidget, and Jon Snow hang out
How happy are you to know that they hang out, like when they're not working, they just hang out on a Sunday in LA? Check out Emilia Clarke, Rose Leslie, and Kit Harington yesterday in LA. They're close. Rose and Kit used to date, and Rose and Emilia were seen earlier in the day making cute faces at each other, very tactile, over lunch. Full Story
Here they come
The Golden Globes are on Sunday, as you know. Which is why LAX is busy. So many actors are flying in for the weekend – the pre-parties, the after-parties, the show… you have to be there – to be seen, to be talked to, to work the rooms, whether or not you are nominated. And that's where we find Jon Snow and the Khaleesi. Full Story
First teaser for Jon Snow's first leading role
The movie is called Pompeii. As he told me a few months ago at the Game Of Thrones S3 premiere, it's Kit Harington's first leading film role. Obviously about Mt Vesuvius. Do they teach Mt Vesuvius the way they taught it in the prehistoric era when I grew up? Because it was fascinating, the way things that terrify us were fascinating back then. Full Story
Not the Emmys
Frederick M. Brown /Kevin Winter /Getty Images
The Television Critics Association announced their awards yesterday in Beverly Hills. The results are much different than what the Emmys will be in September. The Emmy nominations did not include Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany. The TCA gave Maslany the Individual Achievement in Drama award. If you watch Orphan Black, this is a fist-pump moment. Full Story
Rachel McAdams stays the same
PUNKD Images
It's what I have always said I love most about Rachel McAdams (and we love her a lot here at LaineyGossip.com) -- Rachel isn't LA. Rachel works, and then she comes home. She stays in Toronto. And it can get cold in Toronto. It's not the every day sunny skies of Los Angeles. It's a pain in the ass to get around when it snows. Full Story
Kit's tight white tee
PUNKD Images
Well this helps on a sluggish morning. Jon Snow arrived in Vancouver yesterday for reshoots on his film The Seventh Son. He looks really good in a tight white t-shirt. You wouldn't know from watching the show since he's always hidden underneath all those layers of crow. Kit's been spending a lot of time in Canada lately. Full Story
The Rains are extra long?
S Fernandez/ Splash
Game Of Thrones took Memorial Day weekend off and was replaced by Behind The Candelabra, temporarily. I'm OK with that. And I'm OK with an extended penultimate episode for The Rains Of Castamere. At least that's what I think I read somewhere (which I can't find right now so if I'm wrong I'm sorry). Full Story
Jon Snow and Canada's Sweetheart
Rachel McAdams does not live in Los Angeles. As I've said repeatedly, it's one of my favourite things about her. Instead she prefers home, in Toronto. She was out in Toronto this weekend for dinner and drinks with a group of friends... that included Kit Harington. This photo was posted on Twitter by @VanessaElecia Full Story
Why is Sansa Still Alive, Again?

Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 1 recap We're back! Delightfully, though it's been almost a year, absolutely nothing has changed in Westeros since we were last there, except for perceptions. I spent most of the fist episode going "okay, so here's who they didn't kill". Full Story
Kit's first lead
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
A few members of the cast of Game Of Thrones, along with George R R Martin and showrunners, David Benioff and DB Weiss, were at the television academy yesterday in advance of the Season 3 premiere on March 31... Are you ready?!? Did I mention Arya is adorable in real life and Bran is SO pretty it's unfair? There's none of that Hollywood Machine Child to either of them. Full Story
Game Of Thrones is better than movie stars
Kevin Winter/ Getty
Covered the Game Of Thrones Season 3 premiere red carpet last night at the Chinese Theatre. The last time I covered a movie carpet at the Chinese Theatre it was Gangster Squad in January. The carpet was easily 4 times longer. And with 4 times LESS people. Or more. You can imagine how long the cast list was last night for GoT, right? We've been conditioned at these events to expect that they'll arrive just before the start of the screening and not stop and make you feel that they're doing you a favour by showing up and talking.

The Khaleesi & Jon Snow. Gidget to the left
Game Of Thrones on the cover of the new Entertainment Weekly in advance of... 03.31.13 Ready? It's been 10 months. YES, WE ARE READY. As you can see, it's the Khaleesi and Jon Snow paired on the cover...with the wildling Gidget, or whatever her name is, to the left, on her own. Full Story
Jaime Lannister and Jon Snow after the Globes
They were at the HBO party. I just did a brief search for Rose Leslie who plays Gidget or whatever and she didn't come up although that doesn't mean she wasn't there since American photographers don't really recognise British actors, including Michelle Dockery who was mislabelled "Rumer Willis" for a while on Getty Images.

Members of the Unified Command handling the cleanup efforts from the Paulsboro train derailment say over the last 46 hours they have not detected vinyl chloride at the site or in the Paulsboro community.
Officials provided an update on their cleanup efforts during a 4 p.m. press conference Thursday.
Beginning Wednesday at 11 a.m., officials say they began their cleanup process by pumping a product to dilute the vinyl chloride in the breached rail car.
The product and the vinyl chloride was them removed safely. Officials say no vapors escaped during the transfer process.
Officials with Unified Command say they've made "tremendous progress" in cleaning of the rail cars that derailed Friday morning over Mantua Creek.
Despite the progress, officials say they still can't give an exact time as to when evacuated residents can return to their homes. An evacuation order remains in effect through Sunday.
When residents are allowed to return, officials say they will test the air quality in the homes that were evacuated to ensure no levels of vinyl chloride are detected. Should they be detected, officials say they will ventilate the home.
The news comes after emergency officials held an information meeting for Paulsboro residents Wednesday night. Many residents at the meeting told FOX 29 they feeling they weren't able to get any questions answered in regards to the quality of the air or their safety.
Many residents say they've been confused by evacuation orders and have grown frustrated with the process.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

West Side Stories
A Tosa resident for almost 20 years, Karen is a mom and freelance writer, addicted to playing tennis. When not on the tennis court, she spends the fall and winter in the stands at Green Bay Packer and Marquette basketball games.
Karen is the author of "Grab a Bite," a dining out column and the former community columnist for the Wauwatosa NOW newspaper.
Winter WonderingAs I stepped outside this morning to let Millie the wonder dog (who could take on Marley or Bolt any day) do her biz-ness, it occurred to me that life in Wisconsin is somewhat like the directions on a shampoo bottle. You know how Head and Shoulders tells you to "lather, rinse, repeat"? Well, here in the land of cheese, we "sleep, shovel, repeat."
This line of thinking made me think about the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and what slogan they've conjured up to describe and promote life in our fair state. A quick internet search uncovered the answer. Are you ready? Drumroll please…..
Wisconsin Originals.
Yeah, that was my reaction too. The campaign features noted Wisconsin natives Bonnie Blair and Ko-Thi Dance founder Ferne Caulker talking about how our state inspires them. OK, I get it, but, in my opinion, it doesn't come close to the infamous "Escape to Wisconsin," (not to be confused with "Escape from Wisconsin.")
Still, it's better than the former "Stay Just a Little Bit Longer," "Wisconsin - You're Among Friends" or the 2005 slogan "Life's Good." (Um, could you possibly be more vague?)
I think the best-conceived travel slogans should do two things - give a nod to something unique about the state and say something positive that can't be said about any other state. One of the best and most well-known tourism slogans is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Of course it's a reference to the naughty side of that city, but it's memorable and targeted. Not sure that "Wisconsin Originals" will really have the same effect.
So all of this slogan-izing made me wonder if we couldn't come up with something a little more reality-based - maybe even a tiny bit gritty? I'm going to take a crack at it, but then I invite you, my ever-clever readers to join in on the fun.
Here goes:
"Come for the Snow, Stay for the Shoveling"
"Please Pass the Salt!"
"It's Not for Sissies Anymore"
"Nothing Beats the Smell of Snowblowers in the Morning."
"Nine Months of Hell for Three Months of Gorgeous."
"Wisconsinites - The Fat, The Proud, The Frozen."
"No Toll Booths and No Senate Seats for Sale."
Alright, that's enough from me. Chime in and share your wit and wisdom. (That is, in between trips outside to shovel and plow.)
High Hopes
As the nation awaits the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States, there is great anticipation and excitement. Like many, I am very curious to see how the Obama administration will lead our nation through these turbulent times.
President-Elect Obama famously wrote of the "Audacity of Hope." Although I try never to write about politics, I thought I'd share my own personal list of "hopes" for our new president and his team:

Excellent Vietnamese food served fast. My favorites are the pho, egg rolls, fried tofu, charbroiled pork & lemongrass beef. Cash only.
Great Food – The food is great. I love to come to eat during lunch time. Is always busy so you know that this is a good thing. Everyone seem to enjoy the food. My only recomendation is that they need a website to take orders so people don't have to wait for thier order.
Vegetarians beware... – My boyfriend and I have been regulars here for over a year and we've always thought the food was pretty ok until now. We went for lunch and he ordered a veggie entree (tofu, veggies and rice noodles). What came back had no tofu but was covered in meat instead. Did I mention that he's vegetarian? He nicely sent it back, pointing out that it was full of meat. The waiter went to the kitchen and came back with another plate. We immediately noticed that it still had meat, although less of it, so we're already thinking that they missed some when they picked it out (rather than re-making it); however we give them the benefit of the doubt and call the waiter back over, hoping that they just got the order wrong (again). The waiter again goes to the kitchen and comes right back with what appears to be the same plate. For the third time, we find meat (and meat remnants) in the noodles. This time, we ask outright if he just went to the back and picked the meat out. Couldn't understand his response but had something to do with meat remaining in the bottom of the pan between entrees and he disappeared quick. Meanwhile, all of the wait staff are now aware of what's happened and are laughing in the corner. We finally told them to take the entree back and keep it. We were both beyond grossed out at this point (don't even get me started on the fight with the fruit flies over whose table it was - although I think they eventually won) and thoroughly disappointed in the quality of service we received. On the upside, we weren't charged for the meal....but who could eat after that?
Very clean, great service, awesome prices – This place is awesome, turned me on into Viet-cuisine...
Its so clean, friendly fast and tasty, no kidding. They have people come in and out in minutes from placing orders. They dont take credit cards but there is an ATM inside the location.
YOU HAVE TO TRY EVERYTHING. I cant really just recommend one thing on their menu, everything is awesome... do try the spring rolls and all of the PHO.. they make their stock from scratch daily. If you feel adventorous go ahead and order the soursop smoothie I LOVE IT

I'm talking Pew Number Four from the back. And while it doesn't have my name on it, it's mine.
Main reason I tell you I'm talking Pew Number Four from the back is I'm a back-bencher, always have been, always will be. Sitting down front can be something of a problem in a Southern Baptist church ... for several reasons:
1. The preacher can spot a nap in a Daytona second.
2. When you sit down front, you draw attention to yourself. The church leadership will get the idea to ask you to do something. You do one thing, you will be asked to do a second ... and so on.
Don't get me wrong here.
In addition to the preacher leading the wicked to the gates of heaven and the choir putting you in a heavenly mood, you HAVE to have people who are "doers."
Somebody has to turn on the lights and the AC/heat, sweep the floors, be sure the sound system is working, buy the meat for the Fifth Sunday Singing/Fellowship/Eating (an event at which I am first in line), change the sign out front ... the list is endless. I appreciate each one and thank The Good Lord for them.
While Pew Number Four from the back doesn't have my name on it, my pastor, The Rev. Truman Norred, claims it's something of a sleeping station for me.
In turn, I keep him informed of just where his sermons rank on my scale of naps. I don't know where that got started, but one Sunday over fried chicken at Jack's (on Quintard), when he asked the blonde:
"How many times did you have to elbow George today?"
I was ready, knew it was coming (same "cut" every Sunday) and had been writing down replies for a month. The one I picked was a real zinger ... or so I thought:
"Actually Preacher, you did a great job this morning. I took just one nap, best I can remember."
While my pastor may not be Billy Graham, he ain't bad. Another thing is while he flat loves to "zing" others, he can take a lick, too.
Another thing that amazes me about The Rev. Truman Norred is the clock in his head.
In our church bulletin on Sunday morning, he always lists the Bible verses from whence that day's inspiration comes.
As in John 3:14 or say Corinthians 4:7-19.
If it's one verse or 12, he will nail 30 minutes right on the button, no watch, no hour glass, no whatever. How he manages to do that is a wonderment, truly it is.
Anyway, also on a Sunday morning, I'll get at least three prayers (in addition to the message) and two or three songs from the best little choir in any town. They're not great in number (truth is, neither is our congregation), but led by Sandra Triplett and piano by Helen Henley, they do make a joyful noise, so to speak.
Sandra has a voice that will break a beer mug and Helen has forgot more about the piano than most folks ever know.
Sandra also sticks mostly (not always) to the "old-timey" hymns. On a recent Sunday, we got to sing along with "Peace Like A River" and "Standing On The Promises."
I love the old hymns. They move you spiritually in a way "contemporary" can not.
Also, don't get me wrong. I am in no way complaining of 30-minute sermons. That's due in part to the years of my youth that I spent on the hard pine benches of small churches out on the "dirt" route.
One preacher still in my remembrances had a standard of at least one hour for his sermon. He'd then hit his knees and treat the congregation to another 15-20 minutes of praying.
That was during my courtship of the blonde and, if I'm honest here, maybe I carry a bit of a grudge for all the courting time I lost.
Since my courting days are but precious memories, 30-minute preaching doesn't really bother me all that much.
See you in a while, Preacher.

The Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography is the only annual photography festival in Switzerland to celebrate contemporary photography. Each year in September, the works of twenty photographers of Swiss and International descents display their work in known and unusual places in the city of Biel. Visitors discover the art of the photographic tour.
On the occasion of their 16th edition, the Photo Days of Biel question the ambiguous relationships that unfold between voyeurism and exhibitionism in the presence of a camera. The festival will host 23 exhibitions of photographers from 10 countries - Iran to the United States via Spain and Switzerland.
Every other April, an international set of photographers and reviewers gather in Portland, Oregon for a five-day celebration of photography that includes lectures, workshops, and exhibition collaborations. Intensive portfolio reviews are at the heart of the Festival. Reviewers are selected for their experience, involvement, and commitment to advancing the work of emerging and mid-career artists. Over the years, many participants have made contacts that have led directly to exhibitions, publications, and sales, in addition to receiving useful critiques.
By providing a venue for in-depth, informed, and supportive dialogue between photographers, gallery owners, curators, publishers, editors, and consultants, Photolucida promotes the culture of photography locally, nationally, and internationally. The next Portfolio Reviews Festival will take place in April 2013.

"ROAD" is meant to include a wide range of photographs from landscape to portraiture, anything that suggests a journey. The road can be personal: a psychological or spiritual passage. Or it can be literal. The range is from transcendence to travel... It can takeplace in your head or in your backyard or in your car.

Twenty years after the Nicaraguan civil war ended Kevin Kunishi traveled throughout the highlands of Northern Nicaragua. Kunishi revisits this location in an attempt to discover and document the legacy that this protracted war left behind. A selection of the resulting portraits of survivors, both Sandinistas and Contras, as well as exquisite landscapes are gathered together here in Kunishi's first monograph.
The photographs within Los Restos are notational records of the experience of the collective memory of those involved. Althought at one time sharply divided by two polarized political philosophies, the survivors are now bound by a landscape filled with physical and psychological scars. The markers of affiliation are slowly fading, but the horrors of war remain.

For four months in 2011, Aaron Vincent Elkaim lived among the residents of Fort Mckay, in northeastern Alberta Canada. Fort Mckay sits on top of the Athabasca oil sands, and is also the home of citizens from the Cree and Dene First Nations. The reserve relies nearly exclusively on the extraction of oil. Through his photographic interactions with the population of Fort Mckay, Elkaim explores the ways in which members of these indigenous communities negotiate the tensions between modernity, development and age old traditions.
On view September 28, 2012-December 31, 2012
A podcast featuring a narration of Elkiam's work will be online at www.daylightbooks.org this October.
Frank Gallery is pleased to present IN FOCUS, an in-depth exploration and celebration of photography.

I never could stomach Adams and then one day he's standing in my kitchen, in his underwear. Facing in the direction of my kids' room! So I wonk him in the back of the head and down he goes. When he stands up, I wonk him again and down he goes. Then I roll him down the stairs into the early-spring muck and am like, If you ever again, I swear to God, I don't even know what to say, you miserable fuck.
Karen got home. I pulled her aside. Upshot was: Keep the doors locked, and if he's home the kids stay inside.
But after dinner I got to thinking: Guy comes in in his shorts and I'm sitting here taking this? This is love? Love for my kids? Because what if? What if we slip up? What if a kid gets out or he gets in? No, no, no, I was thinking, not acceptable.
So I went over and said, Where is he?
To which Lynn said, Upstairs, why?
Up I went and he was standing at the mirror, still in his goddam underwear, only now he had on a shirt, and I wonked him again as he was turning. Down he went and tried to crab out of the room, but I put a foot on his back.
If you ever, I said. If you ever again.
Now we're even, he said. I came in your house and you came in mine.
Only I had pants on, I said, and mini-wonked him in the back of his head.
I am what I am, he said.
Well, that took the cake! Him admitting it! So I wonked him again, as Lynn came in, saying, Hey, Roger, hey. Roger being me. And then he rises up. Which killed me! Him rising up? Against me? And I'm about to wonk him again, but she pushes in there, like intervening. So to wonk him again I had to like shove her back, and unfortunately she slipped, and down she went, and she's sort of lying there, skirt hiked up—and he's mad! Mad! At me! Him in his underwear, facing my kids' room, and he's mad at me? Many a night I've heard assorted wonks and baps from Adams's house, with her gasping, Frank, Jesus, I Am a Woman, You're Hurting Me, the Kids Are Watching, and so on.
Because that's the kind of guy he is.
So I wonked him again, and when she crawled at me, going, Please, Please, I had to push her back down, not in a mean way but in a like stay-there way, which is when, of course, just my luck, the kids came running in—these Adams kids, I should say, are little thespians, constantly doing musicals in the back yard, etc., etc.—so they're, you know, all dramatic: Mummy, Daddy! And, O.K., that was unfortunate, so I tried to leave, but they were standing there in the doorway, blocking me, like, Duh, we do not know which way to turn, we are stunned. So I shoved my way out, not rough, very gentle—I felt for them, having on more than one occasion heard Adams whaling on them, too—but one did go down, just on one knee, and I helped her up, and she tried to bite me! She did not seem to know what was what, and it hurt, and made me mad, so I went over to Adams, who was just getting up, and gave him this like proxy wonk on top of his head, in exchange for the biting.
Keep your damn, I said. Keep your goddam kids from—
Then I needed some air, so I walked around the block, but still it wasn't sitting right. Because now it begins, you know? Adams over there all pissed off, saying false things about me to those kids, which, due to what they had seen (the wonking) and what they had not seen (him in his underwear, facing my kids' room), they were probably swallowing every mistruth, and I was like, Great, now they hate me, like I'm the bad guy in this, and all summer it's going to be pranks, my hose slit and syrup in my gas tank, or all of a sudden our dog has a burn mark on her belly.
So I type up these like handbills, saying, Just So You Know, Your Dad Was Standing Naked in My Kitchen, Facing My Kids' Room. And I tape one inside their screen door so they'll be sure and see it when they go to softball later, then I stuff like nine in their mailbox, and on the rest I cross out "Your Dad" and put in "Frank Adams" and distribute them in mailboxes around the block.
All night it's call after call from the neighbors, saying, you know, Call the cops, Adams needs help, he's a goof, I've always hated him, maybe a few of us should go over there, let us work with you on this, do not lose your cool. That sort of thing. Which was all well and good, but then I go out for a smoke around midnight and what is he looking at, all hateful? Their houses? Don't kid yourself. He is looking at my house, with that smoldering look, and I am like, What are you looking at?
I am what I am, he says.
You fuck, I say, and rush over to wonk him, but he runs inside.
And, as far as cops, my feeling was: What am I supposed to do, wait until he's back in my house, then call the cops and hope he stays facing my kids' room, in his shorts, until they arrive?
