There's a billboard in Arizona that artist Karen Fiorito designed, and she's receiving death threats because of it. The billboard features President Donald Trump surrounded by red with mushroom clouds and dollar-sign swastikas to his left and right.
The image is shocking, and probably a bit of an unfair comparison, but let's set these things aside for a moment and examine why Fiorito could have been inspired to create this piece.
According to FiveThirtyEight.com's continuously updating approval rating for Trump, Trump has only a 42.1 percent approval rating and a 52.1 percent disapproval rating. The website calculates the ratings based on almost every poll available but weights the polls based on their historical accuracy and methodological standards, while adjusting for uncertainty.
On day four of Trump's presidency, his approval rating was 45.5 percent and his disapproval rating was 41.3 percent. So both of these metrics aren't showing a lot of promise for the president.
This is more than enough to inspire an artist who disapproves of the president to create a piece that expresses these views. But why use Nazi symbolism?
There are some similarities that can be drawn between the rhetoric of modern American Nazis and President Trump.
According to Native News Online, when President Trump took office, the page on WhiteHouse.gov about Native Americans disappeared. As of this writing, the page is still blank.
Currently, Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican-American border threatens to divide a Native American tribe whose ancestral lands fall on both sides of the border.
The Trump administration's refusal to acknowledge the perspective of Native Americans is similar to the American Nazi Party's website which claims that the United States was "the birthright" of white Americans, a statement which fails to consider that Native American people were living on this soil long before any Europeans sailed across the Atlantic.
The American Nazi Party also has a love of alternative facts. Their website states that "only 23 percent of the American population under the age of 18 is WHITE." But this is certainly not true, the Brookings Institution analyzed the 2010 U.S. Census data and found that all age groups are at least 50% white.
But probably the strongest connection between the two is the emotion that Trump and the American Nazi Party want their listeners to feel: fear.
The American Nazi Party's website paints the growing diversity in America as a threat to the American lifestyle. They claim that "PRIDE, HONOR, LOYALTY, COURAGE, DISCIPLINE, and MORALITY" only actually have meaning to their supporters. They say that America is losing its moral principles.
Trump also wants you to walk away from his speeches feeling that you are surrounded by threats, that you should be fearful. In a February TIME article sociologist Barry Glassner stated, "[Trump's] formula is very clean and uncomplicated: Be very, very afraid. And I am the cure."
Trump's phrases also have the tendency to sound similar to Nazi phrases. As has been noted before, Trump's choice to use "America First" as his slogan was not a great way to avoid comparisons to Nazis. According to the Washington Post's Eric Rauchway, the phrase "was the motto of Nazi-friendly Americans in the 1930s."
While these similarities by no means should be taken to imply that Trump is a Nazi, it is easy to see why an artist would be inspired to use Nazi imagery on a billboard about our president.

MAZE BRAIN: It's well-known that maze teasers and games can challenge our brain and keep our smarts on their toes. But what of the seasonal corn maze? We're of the opinion -- the unscientific opinion, we'll add -- that a pleasurable day out in a corn maze not only is positive for our various thinking mechanisms but it works wonders for our emotional intelligence as well. On one hand you're problem-solving; on the other you're out in the fresh air with friends making mischief and getting lost. Basically every thing you require is covered. Swank Farms in Hollister has a huge maze going, as it has in years past. Plus? Pumpkins. You're not going to try and locate your pumpkin on Oct. 31, right? We did that one year and came hope with a honeydew melon to carve.
SWANK STUFF: There are two mazes to try. The one for tots is the Spookley Maze and the one for adventurers who don't mind doing a fair amount of head-scratching is the Maniac Maze. And the Conover Mystery Ranch? That's only on weekends and only after dark. If you think they're going to let you loose in the corn, you're completely correct. Can you handle being in corn in the dark? Isn't that like one of our most common human fears, after having to give a public speech while wearing a backwards bikini? We think it might be. Look, we love corn stalks -- they're beautiful -- but if you do venture into the maze after sunset, be strong, be brave, and have a blast. Swank Farms' holiday shenigans are on through Halloween; check schedule for hours and particular events.

In the game of thrones Real Housewives of Orange County, you win or you die. Tamra Judge is giving a certain flaxen-haired lady Lannister a run for her money when it comes to scheming. Last week, Tamra managed to make things right with Heather Dubrow, but only at the expense of violating the newly earned trust of her newbie Shannon Beador. This week, Shannon and Heather bickered, fumed, and gossiped all because of Tamra's machinations. Yet, somehow, Tamra wound up smelling like roses!
How is this even possible?! I'll tell you. Tamra is using a technique seldom seen on reality TV: She is telling the truth. Rather than prolong the lie, eventually, Tamra totally and unequivocally owned up to telling Heather private details about Shannon's marital problems. Was this a Housewife first? I feel like it might have been.
Tamra should have been revealed to be the villain, but by admitting she'd done wrong, she made it impossible for Shannon to spew any bile her way. The worst that came out of it? Shannon saying she might never trust Tamra again.
I can't wait for Vicki Gunvalson to come back from Penis-In-Vagina Island. I mean, from her beachy Mexican getaway with Ayers Brooks (same difference, really). Shannon really needs an ally and Vicki on your side guns blazing is not a woman to be trifled with. Hopefully she'll even manage to put Tamra wise. Lord knows she's managed to do it before.
Shannon is going through a difficult time. I told my roommate today that watching her was like watching my mom somehow wind up on reality TV. Instead of playing by the rule book, she's just trying to be a good person and getting slapped in the face by these veterans. She deserves a lot better than the treatment she's getting this go 'round. Also, Heather girl, you can be funny and classy, and great, but a little humility never did anybody no harm, mkay?
Do you think Heather is the villain this season, or is Shannon in the wrong?

Toyota Develops A Sporty Version of Prius C
In Japan, Toyota's Prius C, which is the subcompact version of the Prius, is called the Aqua. Toyota has developed a more aesthetically sporty conceptual version of it called the Aqua G, with more aggressive styling, an adjusted suspension, and some other things that make it more appealing to young people.
The body kit and new styling include a very large and striking front razor grille, as well as two strips of LEDs in the bottom corners of the grilles. It also has 17 inch black alloy wheels with a red accent, shrouded by 195/45 Bridgestone Potenza rubber, side skirts, and fender vents (these are just ornaments, not real vents). It also has a bumper with a rear diffuser, which is usually used for sports cars.
Interior modifications include the addition of sports seats upholstered with leather and Alcantara, a new sports steering wheel, a gear lever, pedals, and an improved sound system. It certainly is a huge improvement over the stock, boring look of a regular Prius C.
Finally, it was equipped with a sport suspension, and a body reinforcement brace to improve handling. So while this Aqua G may not be any faster, it can at least handle a little better.
Toyota probably realizes that accordant styling is a major factor that impacts sales, even though most people won't admit that their purchase decision was affected much by aesthetic appeal. Factory bodykits like this are almost pure profit though, and can help drive buzz and enthusiasm for a youth-oriented proudct like the Prius C.
It now has an angry, bug-like appearance, but it looks more sporty and interesting than the American Prius C. Perhaps Toyota will offer a similar kit stateside?

What is Downdraft Ventilation and Is It Worth It?

text: "The small-format picture In the Blue...uses geometric forms, and here...Kandinsky retains a measure of formal freedom, refusing to accede to the dictates of pure geometricization; there is even a touch of playfulness in the picture, whose forms have a vaguely toy-like appearance. In this work...the geometry is orchestrated in a euphoric riot of color, set against, and anchored in, a deep blue background which introduces a musical connotation and transports the picture into the realm of dream and the irrational. The red disc suggests the sun; the floating forms may be stars and planets; the blue background can be interpreted as the sea or the universe; the form on the left, decked with flags, appears to be a kind of toy sailing boat. Kandinsky frequently declared that geometrical form was only a means to an end. Even in this formally rigorous and seemingly 'rational' phase in the development of his art he refrained from casting aside the ideas of dream and 'Romantism'."

Hall finds itself 31st overall in KenPom. They're 13th in defense and 73rd in offense. The offensive numbers are probably a reflection of their youth. They start one senior, graduate transfer Derrick Gordon. According to KenPom, they're the 321st most experienced team.
Opponents have an effective fg% of 44.8%, 15th best. Teams only shoot 31.1% from 3, 25th best and 44% from 2, 31st best. They're pretty soft on the defensive glass, allowing an opponent rebounding % of 30.9, which is 252nd.
Offensively, they're a lot a less efficient. They have an effective fg% of only 49.2%, 207th. They can be careless with the ball. The Pirates turnover % is 19.3%, 251st. While they don't protect the defensive glass, they are a very good offensive rebounding team. They're 30th overall with an offensive rebounding % of 35.4%. They demoralized Xavier on this front yesterday.
As I mentioned before, this is a young team. Aside from Gordon, they start 4 sophomores. Isaiah Whitehead gets the heaviest usage and runs the show. He's a high volume shooter and not all that good at it. He's a bit of a drain on their numbers. Khadeen Carrington is similar in makeup. They both like to shoot. Desi Rodriguez has been one of the most improved players in the league. Big man Angel Delgado is their best rebounder. Fellow big man Ish Sanogo is solid on the offensive glass and can be a shot blocker. All of them are sophomores.
Seton Hall was a wreck to end last year and a sluggish start to league play this year probably put Kevin Willard's job on the line. The team responded brilliantly and will make their first tournament appearance since 2006. Brian has them on the 8/9 line. A win in March would be a great season for them and about where they fall by the numbers. Whitehead might look to the NBA but if he's back next year and maybe even if he isn't, they'll be a top 20 team.

Critics and supporters of building sand berms to shield Louisiana's coast from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have released dueling photo sequences that alternately show one of the berms washing away or performing precisely as planned, depending on the eye of the beholder.
Former Louisiana State University marine sciences professor Len Bahr said aerial photos taken from June 25 to July 7 show a berm under construction near the Chandeleur Islands "shrinking like a wool sweater in hot water."
"The berm is disappearing and some very expensive construction equipment is drowning in the surf. That can't have been the plan," said Bahr, a leading critic of the BP-funded $360 million berm project. He's also a former coastal policy adviser to several Louisiana governors, including Bobby Jindal, who championed the berm project.
Jindal's administration released photos taken Tuesday of the same "E-4" berm, which appears significantly larger and has raised edges that are absent from the last two photos in Bahr's sequence.
Jindal said National Guard members have removed more than 500 pounds of "oil and oiled debris" from the berm.
"Clearly the sand berms are doing what they were intended to do," Jindal said at a news conference in New Orleans Wednesday afternoon in which he addressed efforts to combat the spill. "They're trapping the oil before it can get into our wetlands."
After intensive lobbying by Jindal and Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, the Army Corps of Engineers last month approved emergency permits to build six berms in the Gulf totaling 45 miles at BP's expense.
Jindal and Nungesser said the 6-foot-high berms are critical to help keep oil out of delicate wetlands. But some scientists and federal officials questioned the berms' effectiveness and warned about unintended environmental consequences.
Bahr posted several photos on his website that appear to show the E-4 berm eroding over a 12-day period as heavy equipment, including a bulldozer, becomes partially submerged.
Bahr said he received the photos from federal officials who he said asked not to be identified.
"This whole thing has gotten so political that they're concerned about retribution," he said. "But I'm absolutely confident the photos are legitimate."
Several of the photos also appear in a "stakeholder update" prepared July 9 by the Army Corps of Engineers. The document gives a brief update on the berm project but does not comment on the apparent erosion of the E-4 berm at the northern end of the Chandeleur chain.
Some berm supporters have said tides were higher during some of the later photos, which they contend explains why the berm appears smaller.
But Rob Young, a Western Carolina University geosciences professor who wrote an opinion article in the New York Times critical of the berms, said the photos depict clear signs of "erosional scouring."
"You have to be careful about drawing grand conclusions," Young said. "But these pictures show how difficult it is to build these things and keep them there. It's not like Hurricane Katrina ran over them."
Young said the state's more recent photos show that "they've obviously been hard at work rebuilding the berm."
Nungesser, who attended Jindal's news conference, said some sand loss is inevitable until grasses have been planted to limit erosion.
Jindal said he hadn't seen the photos Bahr released. But the governor said the berm is large enough to accommodate "multiple helicopters" and invited members of the news media to tour the site.
"If a hurricane threatens the area, they've got to move all the oil containment equipment out for two weeks," he said. "This sand berm can stay up there 24/7 and stop the oil."
Young said he is unimpressed by the 500 pounds of oily debris collected so far.
"There's no doubt that if you pile up sand in the Gulf, some oil will wash up on it," he said. "The real question is whether you would have been able to capture that oil with traditional methods and used the berm money on a viable coastal restoration project."
Calling the E-4 berm an early sign of success, Nungesser urged the corps to approve the state's full request for 18 more berms totaling another 80 miles.
Young said such a large-scale project would be a futile race against the Gulf's erosional powers.
"If they tried to build all of the berms, the first one would be gone long before they finished the last one," he said.
But Jindal said he is focused on the race to stop the advancing oil, pointing to a picture of oiled debris littering the berm -- oil that the governor said might otherwise have ended up in a coastal marsh.
"A picture is worth a thousand words," Jindal said.
That's one thing upon which both sides can agree.

He joined his class for a half day at school last Wednesday, which, while it may not have been the "first day of school" we had anticipated, was still a welcome opportunity to catch up with his friends and feel a little bit normal, if only for a while. Jonah also got to see his class play on Friday morning. We look forward to the day when he'll be up there on the stage performing with them again.
We are working with his oncologist and the nurses to try to find some solution to the multiple side effects, but so far there's been no magic remedy. Tylenol, oxycodone, and morphine have kept his pain somewhat under control. But even after seven different nausea medications—including one marijuana derivative—acupressure wrist bands, ginger gum, a ginger supplement, and some pleasantly fruity aromatherapy, he is still living with a constant malaise and no appetite at all. It's all I can do to force him to take a sip from a juice box or eat a single Cheerio.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that all this pain and poison is designed to help and heal. In the last fifty years the survival rate for leukemia patients has gone from nearly zero to close to 90%. Huge strides have been made in this field of medicine. But still. If these pills are so toxic that the nurses have to wear nylon gloves just to touch them, how can I bring myself to watch him swallow them? Every day? For months? It takes a tremendous amount of trust, both in God and in our doctors, to believe that all these things are working together for Jonah's ultimate good.
Sitting here far away from my family helplessly watching Jonah go through this trauma has certainly put both my joy and patience to the test. It can be tempting to sit here staring at my pale, miserable son and throw myself a little pity party to the soundtrack of the beeping IV pump. But spending a week or two on the Pediatric Oncology floor does provide an eye-opening change in perspective.
We are surrounded here by children who are suffering much greater trials than Jonah is. Walking down the hall to the ice machine, I alternate between feelings of horror and gratitude when I come face-to-face with examples of how much worse off Jonah's situation could be.
I've seen kids with feeding tubes and oxygen masks and missing limbs and massive head scars from brain surgery. I have met mothers who have lost their kids to cancer, and I have met others whose kids are facing multiple surgeries and dangerous radiation and developmental delays and very bleak prognoses. So who are we to complain? Jonah's in remission, for pity's sake. His prognosis is good. We're facing more than three years of chemotherapy to keep those undetectable rogue cancer cells from rearing their ugly heads again, but we have good reason to expect that we will not have to see Jonah crippled, maimed, or, God forbid, buried. Among the folks on this floor of the hospital, we're the ones who got a break. We have it easy. Our kid just has high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, that's all. Others may envy us.
A good friend of mine who is an oncology nurse told me that when she heard Jonah had leukemia, she prayed, "Please God, let it be ALL." I would never have known to pray for such a thing, but she did. And after talking to a mom a few doors down the hall whose 13-year-old son has AML, I find myself praying, "Thank you, Lord, for letting my son have ALL instead." ALL. What a relief. Thank God.
No, really. Thank God. And please keep praying for Jonah and for all of us. We are on a long road, and we will need your prayers the whole way.

Devastating tornadoes hit Oklahoma causing massive destruction, and dozens of deaths. Since the first touchdown on May 19th, Do Your Part, a disaster relief organization, started this project to aid in the relief and long term recovery that will be required to heal the survivors and the land. Your donation will go directly to assist survivors with their needs in an effort to bring them back to sustainability.
On May 19th and 20th, 2013, Oklahoma was hit hard by multiple tornadoes. Moore, OK was hit hardest by a deadly EF5 tornado.These tornadoes have caused massive damage, which continues to worsen with the flooding that has followed. Oklahoma is just beginning the long road to recovery, with some of its rebuilding under time constraints, and survivors and new damage just being discovered due to lack of communication.
Do Your Part has been instrumental in disaster relief and long term recovery since Hurricane Katrina by on the ground service and by supporting our partners on the ground with vital information and resources, also aiding in the coordination of donations. This fund will be used to secure needed items, for survivors and their animals, along with case management assistance. Do Your Part, will assist in providing fencing which is an uninsured item, along with personal needs.
All disasters require the hard work of local, and national dedicated disaster relief organizations, but they cannot do it without the support of the entire country. This fundraiser supports Do Your Part's work along with that of our partners, and the local organizations; these organizations are the first on the scene and the last to leave sometimes years later. These funds will go to identify and aid the most vulnerable during the long road towards recovery and sustainability.

College Prep Financial Literacy Standards
The National Financial Educators Council has developed a draft of 'College Prep Financial Education Standards' and calls upon industry experts to participate in the completion of these guidelines. The overall goal of the Standards is to provide a clear personal finance curricula framework for educators that ensure specific lessons are taught to college bound students prior to signing student loan documents.
In collaboration with industry experts, the NFEC has outlined an initial draft of the Financial Education Standards for college bound students to serve as a framework for those teaching future college students personal finance. The NFEC seeks additional input from those passionate about improving the financial capabilities of our youth to refine these standards. Share your experience, creativity, knowledge and personal finance expertise to influence college bound students personal finance guidelines.
The current Federal Student Loan program has high school students make decisions that will significantly impact their finances before they receive any personal finance training. The student loan market has ballooned in size to over $1 trillion that is already negatively impacting the U.S. economy. The NFEC is mobilizing to proactively address this problem.

Mr. N
Just a Girl and Her Doctor
So, a while back I was scrolling around Facebook and came across a post that was fantastic because a friend of mine was going through the same thing.
After I shared it with her, she said, "we have to do this!"
I definitely agreed and we had a BLAST!
The rings...
She thinks my tractor's sexy.
Stealing a kiss!
Country gal and her guy
My favourite.
Country Life.
No date would be complete without a beach blanket milkshake for two!
He must have said something "big!"
All that glitters...
Dr. P & E = LOVE
Handprints in the sand...with the rings!
Hand and Hand walking in the Sand.
I love you Dr. Pepper...
...forever and ever.
So what was the point of this? The point is that you don't have to be in a relationship to be happy. You don't have to have someone to be "whole." You are a beautiful individual and you can make your life rich in love, life, and happiness.
I hope you enjoyed this little project! I would love it if you shared!
We had such a great time!
Mr. & Mrs. H's Ceremony
What can I say about this ceremony? Gorgeous? Fabulous? Flawless? It was magical! What a beautiful day...
Lorelei's Wedding Prep
There are so many times when I want to be a part of something bigger. Maybe I wanted to be the main attraction, but truly, I need to direct.
I was so blessed to be a part of this wedding, but at the same time, I wished I had photographed it as well.
I am so proud of my sister and her composure throughout the whole ordeal, and I know she is so thankful that I was there to be her support and sounding board.
I know one day I'll be able to come back and get some photos of what I really wanted, and that will be perfect.
Congratulations to you both. You have a beautiful blended family, and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you!

I enjoyed this group of people so much! If it hadn't been so hot, I would have gotten more family!

Rush Limbaugh sees a media conspiracy to "define deviancy down" by portraying Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as an adorable kid through teenage anecdotes and photos that make him look handsome. "You notice also that the news media are doing to Dzhokhar what they did to Trayvon Martin," Limbaugh said on his radio show Tuesday. "They're regularly showing a photo of Dzhokhar that was taken when he was about 14. Soft, angelic, nice little boy, harmless, cute, big lovable eyes." Trayvon Martin was the unarmed teenager shot to death in Florida in 2012. His killer was initially not arrested because of Florida's Stand Your Ground law. The only thing they have in common is being young men who are not white Christians.
Limbaugh sees a dark conspiracy in the photos of Tsarnaev. There are only a few publicly available, and those of his bloody capture don't show his face very well. But there's another reason to show photos of Dzhokhar before he was a suspect. One of the eerie things about the younger Boston marathon bomber's social media sites is that he says and does a lot of banal teenager things. Music, TV, smoking weed, sleeping in, pizza ("pizzzzzzzzaaaaaa baaaabbyyy"). One of the most attractive pictures of Tsarnaev to surface since the authorities released his name is a former Twitter profile photo (above at right), which is exactly where teenagers post the most attractive pictures of themselves. We all have the impulse to sift through what we can see of Tsarnaev's life online to find telltale signs that he could commit a terrible crime. They're not there. Journalists have reported that Tsarnaev seemed like a normal kid. "He's not a normal kid," Limbaugh says. "There's nothing normal about this, and we don't want it to be normal." Well, yeah, that's the point.
Instead, the radio host says the liberal media is going with "normal" conclusions and "cute" photos is not to give readers what they what — an idea of why the bombing happened — but to normalize terrorism. Limbaugh says:
Daniel Patrick Moynihan: defining deviancy down. When a culture is unable to stop a deviant activity or a criminal activity or a perverted activity, they simply say, "Well, this is the new normal," and you move on. Defining deviancy down. Ah, normal college kid.
Making terrorism OK is part of an ongoing campaign on the left, Limbaugh says. He thinks, as he said on his show Monday, that the media is trying as hard as it can not to talk about Islam. On Tuesday, he pointed to an interview with Alan Dershowitz, in which Dershowitz said "terrorists" like Angela Davis and Bill Ayers were now respectable academics. He said Robert Redford's movie The Company You Keep is "glorifying the Weather Underground." He pointed to an interview with The New Yorker's David Remnick, in which Remnick talked about Chechnya and why the Tsarnaevs might have done what they did, saying Remnick was looking for an excuse for their alleged crimes. Limbaugh doesn't want a reason! He says:
Because you guys are gonna construct a reason that justifies why they did it. That's where you guys are headed on the left, it justifies it and in no way are you guys gonna be responsible for anything that stops this.
To state the obvious, knowing why something happened is not the same thing as supporting it. Many people wonder why Limbaugh says the things he says, even when they don't agree with them.

Yuki Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Yuki Wilderness (map) in 2006 and it now has a total of 53,339 acres. All of this wilderness is located in California and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe ancient forests of the Yuki Wilderness consist of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, Shasta red fir, white fir, and incense cedar. The region also hosts seven species of oak, an unusually high number for any one place to have. Populations of many rare plants have been identified in the area, including serpentine species. The region's Sargent cypress grove is the largest known in the world for this unusual species. Wildflower displays are truly spectacular.
Several rare animals also live in the Yuki Wilderness, including marten, goshawk, northern spotted owl, and prairie falcon. Elk, Thatcher and Deep Hole creeks and the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork Eel River host populations of chinook salmon and steelhead trout. The Middle Fork Eel supports between one-third and one-half of California's entire remaining summer-run steelhead trout population.

The always whimsical, entertaining, and ridiculously meticulous Christy Puetz is showing her latest beaded artworks at Chandler Center for the Arts. The opening reception is Friday.
New Times snagged this artist for a Studio Visit a couple years ago and we're pleased to find out that she's still at it.
Puetz is known for her intricately hand-beaded artwork. She creates miniature creatures, flat-paneled scenes (her 2004 "Meat Quilt", a work that features a strip of bacon, a turkey leg and other cuts of meat laid out like an old patchwork quilt was unforgettable), beaded helmets and oven mitts.
For her most recent show, Puetz worked in a small scale and created tiny beaded creatures.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The colorful works range from imaginative characters whose origins are unknown to earthly animals decked out in colorful patterns. Often, Puetz used photos and illustrations of disease cells as the basis for her designs. "In a gentle way, I visually try to provoke people to be close to what I am fearful of. I am drawn to microbiology and cell structures, but am cautious of the serious consequences of contact with them," says Puetz.
Puetz's funky beaded sculptures may seem silly or gimmicky at first, but the artist laces each piece with heavier subject matter.
The show coincides with her ongoing "Foster Kindern Project". It started in 2003 as an expression of her opposition to the war in Iraq. She distributed small, beaded figures to close friends as representatives of war casualties. Participants were asked to name and care for the figures. They acted as every day reminders of the war - one that often feels very far away. Many people documented the exercise by writing stories or photographing time spent with the dolls.
To see "She is Filled with Secrets: The Beaded Artworks of Christy Puetz", head to the Chandler Center for the Arts through Feb. 27 with free opening reception Friday, Jan. 22 from 7-9 p.m. at 250 N. Arizona Ave. in Chandler, 480-917-6859, www.chandlercenter.org.

I did a bit of a photo-safari around Sandton, near Johannesburg, and snapped lovely clear photos of the buildings from ground level. Being in a creative mood, I tried to turn them into "Planets" in Photoshop CS6. like I did with this photo of Dubai.
This was taken from an extremely high viewpoint – most of the buildings you see are between 40 and 70 storeys high, yet they look like little toys.
This shot, of the Dubai Marina, was taken from a yacht at water level. I think it also makes a very acceptable "Planet."
My Sandton photos, however, turned out VERY differently!
This one looks like a BUG's head!
And this one just looks awesome! Like an alien machine or something…
I would like to sell prints of these images, and I have a few more that I haven't included here. They are all over 80MB, so can be enlarged very significantly without losing the incredible detail.
If anyone is interested in purchasing a print, please contact me 🙂

Gorgeous - original, evocative music, beautifully played and recorded.
I love it! ... because ... the playing is so meticulous and purposeful... the writing always maintains a tight reign on the emotional ... each piece is a precise journey, structured and well balanced...
We have just listened to the album and I am slightly lost for words... Short version: Amazing job! Just beautiful. The imagery, the pictures, from busy streets to fields, to skylines to jazz, to Satie to Glass to; wonderfully melodic, beautifully timed, lovingly played classic Greenaway.... I love the piano, how often do we get to really hear, I mean really hear the instrument? Beautiful, love the long stabs... it's so unusual to hear that wonderful natural sound and resonance. Thank you so, so much for sharing this incredible piece of work. It is the most creative, melodic, transportive and satisfying listen I have come across in a very, very long time.
Il Falco Bianco demonstrates - so beautifully - Greenaway's outstanding talent. A magnificent selection of compositions, played in such an exceptionally brilliant performance. I enjoyed every single track so much that I found myself clapping on many occasions! I shall be returning to the CD again and again... that's for sure.
I feel I just have to put finger to key to tell you this. Your CD is outstanding! When my husband and I played it the first time I confess that I sat there with tears running down my face for much of it – it's so beautiful, so moving. The writing is magnificent, and the playing is superb and hearing it gave me a great feeling of peace....it's beyond wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.

Keen competition is expected for jobs in interior design because many talented individuals are attracted to careers as interior designers.
Individuals with little or no formal training in interior design, as well as those lacking creativity and perseverance, will find it very difficult to establish and maintain a career in this occupation.
About 3 out of 10 are self-employed.

Swan Knight's Son: Chapter Seven
Earlier in the book the wolf Krasny Volk Odinskyy referred to Gil's mother as Ygraine of the Riddles. Here we see why. Even as she grants Gil small hints and clues about his heritage and the danger he now faces, she grabs whole bushels full of information from him. She uses his desire for answers as a carrot that allows her to draw from him the full story of his apprenticeship to Bruno the bear and his night on Brown Mountain.
She also forbids him from becoming a knight. For all his gifts, Gil's greatest is that he possesses the patience of Job. She won't tell him exactly why, only that there are rules that must be followed, and no she can't tell him what those rules are. All she can tell him is that he is in danger from powerful things, and no she can't tell him exactly what the threat is, but boy howdy is it serious. Ygraine might know a lot about building suspense, but she is clearly understand the first thing about how to help people protect themselves from danger.
Francis, the handy neighborhood Church repairman comes up again, and Ygraine mentions that his is the hand of providence. It's not blatant, but it's a small acknowledgement of the deeply Christian background to this story. We haven't talked much about it yet, but the folklore of this book owes much to biblical truths. In this chapter, for example, we get confirmation by way of Ygraine mentioning the three knights Gil fought with back in Chapter Six are descended from the sister of Joseph of Arimethea, who brought the Holy Grail to England. She also mentions that their proximity to Gil's home is passing strange, but as is her way, won't say why.
To close things out, Gil uses the magic key given by the black clad stranger to open the magic door. Since the key was given to the stranger by Gil's father, and the cover of the book gives the game away a bit, we can see where this is going. But that will have to wait for another chapter...
Now I feel like Ygraine myself.

Music: John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Carol Emmanuel, Shanir Blumenkranz
Year: 1942
Time: 8 mins
Eye of Sound: Found-footage upside-down, backwards spinning. Industrialization reversed, or the charm of the noble savage.
hey, wondering if you have the Raoul Ruiz film "The Golden Boat" w/ soundtrack by John Zorn? that would be rad!ReplyDelete
The Golden Boat is a fine film but it just doesn't fit in the spirit of this blog, as it is not a music-oriented movie. Contact me privately if you want links for The Golden Boat.ReplyDelete
Very Lysergic!!!
Many Thanks
You're welcome, Mr. LysergicReplyDelete
I'm sorry but the soundtrack of this movie is an excerpt from Maria Beatty's film "BELLE DE NATURE", with Marc Ribot, in fact, but it's Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on Bass, and Carol Emmanuel on Harp.
And thanks for everything by the way !
No need to be sorry, 777...
Actually, I remember I had a tough time looking for the soundtrack info, and eventually I found these names on some website I can't locate right now. I downloaded the Filmworks CD for Belle de Nature (n. 21) and you're absolutely right. It's strange that they decided to use a soundtrack specifically produced for a different film, though...
Thanks for the correction and cheers!

Kent stalwart David Fulton savoured a day of landmarks as his team posted 353-3 against relegated Middlesex.
In his 200th first-class match for Kent, Fulton struck his second century of the season and passed 12,000 runs.
Matthew Walker added his fifth century of the campaign, sharing 196 for the third wicket with Fulton, who sealed his 28th hundred just before tea.
Walker was dropped on 73 by Owais Shah at long-off but Fulton's six-hour vigil ended when he cut to backward point.

i already sold mine and upgraded to a Mazda 6 MPS, i miss the sporty/coupe look, but i needed the extra carrying space and extra two doors, i still wanted to have a bit of power and fun, so an AWD turbo vehicle seemed a logical choice surprises so many people when they see a "mums car" just take off, haha
Gave one up for a bike, another for a different bike, another for an IS200 then that for my S which I'm considering giving up but not sure what for =P

Been asking myself this question for over 10 years now. Still cant make up my mind.
I could add another car, but don't think I could part with this one.
In the real world, I don't think I would to be honest.
But if I got offered $100K then I would, but that's never going to happen in the real world lol. I'd just buy it back.

Nutella-Dipped Strawberries
Me, cooking in the kitchen? Yup, and so can you!
Stop making excuses as to why you don't know how to cook but would like to learn. There are several recipes online, and your family's traditional ones as well. So, get in the kitchen and try something new!
Pregnant women generally have cravings. I should know. I'm currently 9 months and I recently had a craving for chocolate — not any type of chocolate. It had to be Nutella. I would go to the kitchen and grab a spoonful every day, regardless if I was at work or at home (I purposely bought the two jars from Costco to have one at work and the other at home.)
Another craving I had at the time was fruits — strawberries, blackberries, grapes and mangoes. It was only fair that I fused my two cravings into one. 🙂

"Sugar Shack" is a song written in 1962 by Keith McCormack and Jimmy Torres. Torres gave his song rights to his aunt, Fay Voss, as a birthday present. The song was recorded in 1963 by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico.[1] The unusual and distinctive organ part was played on a Hammond Solovox, Model J.[2]
"Sugar Shack" hit number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 (where it spent five weeks from October 12 to November 9, 1963)[1] and Cashbox singles charts (where it spent three weeks from October 19 to November 2, 1963[3]). Its run on the Billboard R&B chart was cut short because Billboard ceased publishing an R&B chart from November 30, 1963 to January 23, 1965. "Sugar Shack" has the distinction of being the last single to make it to number one on the Billboard R&B chart because Billboard did not publish an R&B chart for fourteen months.[4] On November 29, 1963, the song received RIAA certification for selling over a million copies, earning gold record status, and was the number-one single of the year according to Billboard.[5] Billboard also ranked it as the No. 1 song for 1963.[6] "Sugar Shack" also hit the UK at #45 on the Record Retailer chart
Songwriter Keith McCormack stated in an interview that one night he wrote most of the song 'Sugar Shack' but asked his aunt (Faye Voss) what black skin-tight pants were called. She said 'Leotards' and so they finished the song together.[7]

TouchGrind BMX iPhone & iPad Game Review/
TouchGrind BMX is available as universal App for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (iOS). This is sort of a sequel / spin off from the original TouchGrind which situated itself around skateboarding.
Nine bikes can be unlocked and a whole world can literally be cycled through. As you progress through the game you will unlock countries with different terrains and conditions to trick it out in. The variety is fantastic and keeps the game fresh. Having said that advancing from one country to another is very hard. The game is all based on how much adrenaline you have and collecting this is done via completing challenges.
Challenges can be variety of things, from being challenged to ride around a course without crashing to performing ten reverse tricks. Tricks are the basis of most challenges and can be very tricky to pull off. The deliberate degree of difficulty plastered throughout TouchGrind BMX has made me come back for more and more, so it has real replay value.
Despite the difficulty I have had so much fun with this game. Being able to freestyle while riding along a route is very awesome. Shortcuts and variations in paths can be found adding a degree of choice.
Controls are all multi touch based. Two fingers are used to control the bike and perform tricks and they work really well. The simplicity of the controls makes the game pleasant to play and still sits it firmly in the casual category. This is the kind of game you can wack out while cueing or waiting in the car.
The games camera can be quite messy but it's only very occasional and usually occurs when performing tricks. This our biggest annoyance from the title but updates can fix these problems.
Graphically this looks great! Illusion Labs have really focused on the detail of each terrain. The mountains, skate parks, snow, grass, sand and distant views are all impressive to look at. We haven't experienced any frame rate issues and we played this on the New iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. Retina graphics are incorporated if you own a device that has a retina display. Sound affects and ambiance noises are also finely detailed and the ability to play your music collection is here too.
Illusion Labs are one of the most creative developers on the App Store. Everything we play from them is always a thrill. This is no different. We highly recommend!

The project was born out of a run-down neighborhood in the city of Sevilla where unemployment is far above the acceptable level and illegal commerce passes through its streets without fear of the repercussions. A place where a common image is to see trash collectors, taking apart plastic bags on the street and taking out whatever has anything metal in it, in order to sell in the neighboring industrial zone in exchange for coins. Men that have wasted away, consumed by drug use, or simply without work, without a future and without even a present life.
On the other side, there is a neighborhood with some education centers where the teaching staff puts all effort into preparing students and helping them get jobs in order to be a part of society and have a dignified life. Students that are 16 or 18 years old many times once they finish their studies, don't achieve this desired job that they have dreamed about.
We work in this neighborhood and want to help with our initiative. To some, we offer to collaborate in the collection of the plastic waste, working with dignity and receiving and appropriate salary. To others, we offer education in emergent technologies that are not yet a part of schools and institutes, but that will be in high demand within the next few years: 3D printing.

The Biochemical Society provides an extensive range of events, including scientific conferences, training events, outreach activities, medal lectures, and policy and education events. This programme provides an excellent opportunity to magnify your research by submitting an abstract for an oral communication or poster presentation, and sharing your work with the wider molecular biosciences community.
Contact our events team here.
Find out about our policy and public engagement events:
Grauer Bär, Innsbruck, Austria
This event is co-organized by COST
COST members are eligible for applying to COST funding to attend the 79th Harden Conference: Oxygen Evolution and Reduction - Common Principles.
The oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II is responsible for the formation of atmospheric oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase (CO) and related respiratory oxidases convert oxygen back into water as part of the respiratory processes that provide the energy for survival of most living organisms.
The underlying redox chemistry of oxygen/water interconversion is complex and these enzymes have evolved unique mechanisms whose performance has yet to be achieved with (bio)mimetic chemical systems. Mechanistic and structural questions are common and yet the two enzyme systems are rarely discussed comparatively. The format of this Harden meeting is designed to bring together such expertise.
Abstract deadline - extended: 18 February 2016
Abstract submission has closed. If you wish to send a late abstract, please contact the Conference Office (email@example.com)
Earlybird registration deadline - extended: 18 February 2016
Registration for this event is now closed.
Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication.
Unique to the Biochemical Society, Harden Conferences are residential research conferences covering a specialist topic.
All participants must be resident for the duration of the conference. Scientists wishing to participate are asked to register online.
Bursaries and free places
Bursary application is now open.
A limited number of bursaries to cover the cost of registration are available to assist younger members of the Biochemical Society to attend the conferences.
Preference will be given to senior graduate students (or those who gained their Ph.D. in the last 5 years) and restricted to members of the Biochemical Society.
Applications for these places should be sent to the Biochemical Society from the applicant's supervisor and should be accompanied by an independent reference.
Not a member of the Biochemical Society? Join today and save up to £100 on your registration fee.
