Saturday, July 19 the Boca Raton Museum of Art hosted an exclusive talk for members by Curator of Exhibitions Kathleen Goncharov on the topic of biennials. The definition of biennial, or biennale in Italian, is an event that occurs every two years. It is typically used to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. The most famous biennial, as Goncharov explained, is held in Venice and began in 1895.
In her discussion, Goncharov spoke about her personal experience during the 2003 Venice Biennale. Goncharov worked together with Fred Wilson, a contemporary, conceptual artist, as the representatives of the United States. Wilson is best known for his piece Mining the Museum (1992) installed at the Maryland Historical Society wherein he juxtaposed pieces normally "hidden" in storage like iron slave shackles with expected display items like 19th-century silver decorative arts. By "mining" the museum's holdings he forced the audience to examine, question and deconstruct the traditional display of art and artifacts.
Goncharov discussed:
Biennials, particularly the Venice Biennale, are incredible opportunities to see some of the forerunners in contemporary art from around the world. The large scale of biennials is a unique way of experiencing art without viewing it at a museum or gallery. The pavilions provide cultural context for the visitor to be immersed in the idea of a different country, and what the artist is trying to capture about his or her homeland.
Kathleen Goncharov's lecture gave the listener a firsthand account of what it takes to create an exhibition at the Venice Biennale. Goncharov also described the eclectic mix of styles displayed. She explained that it's not just contemporary art heavy-hitters but also less publicized artists like surrealists and "obsessive" artists (artists who work meticulously with small or delicate materials).
One of the highlights of the talk for me was the sneak preview of artists chosen to be in the 2015 Biennale. Two of particular note are Joan Jonas (Untied States) and Danh Vo (Denmark).
Having been in Italy for the 2013 Venice Biennale, I traveled to the city to see the event. While there I particularly enjoyed the Azerbaijan Pavilion, where six different artists presented their ideas on ornamentation as well as the Croatian Pavilion in which artist Kata Mijatovic delved into the realm of dreams using audience participation. Biennials are a wonderful tradition in the contemporary art world and since the Venice Biennale began countless Biennials have been created around the globe such as:
Considered one of the most intriguing installations at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Swiss artist Urs Fischer has created magnificent stainless steel boxes polished to a mirrored surface with images of a sponge and a chair (respectively) silkscreen printed onto the various sides of the boxes. Obscurely named Pineapple/Melon, the four pieces (two printed with chairs, two printed with sponges) are giant interactive still lifes that provide multiple views of the objects: top, front and sides. Fischer enjoys changing the perception of things by presenting them in a different way, thus changing the human relationship to them. The feature that stands out most in these boxes is that the viewer is able to be present in the piece through the reflection of the polished surface.
Urs Fischer was born in Switzerland and began his artistic career there. He studied photography in Zurich and found his inspiration in the neo-Dada movement. In the mid-late 2000s, Fischer became increasingly popular in the US, particularly, New York where he currently resides. His works are incredibly popular in the contemporary art scene and he has shown pieces at the:
At first glance, one would think the cubes are made out of a common glass mirror. Yet, what makes Fischer's pieces so eye-catching and different is the fact that they are made out of polished stainless steel. While these pieces are beautiful to behold, their medium does present a challenge in upkeep and cleaning; stainless steel as polished as this is hard to maintain and clean. Fingerprints remain on the piece for a long time and the cleaning process is complex. While the boxes look just like mirrors, it is important to remember they are not, and must be treated differently.
While physically touching the pieces is discouraged, another exciting feature of the Urs Fischer boxes is the interactive portion. It is even possible to create the illusion that one is sitting in the chair on the mirrored box. If you would like to try this optical illusion, it is sort of a trial by error process. The key is to sit on the ground at a certain distance from the cube while someone takes your picture from an angle. The distances and angles will have to be worked out while present at the museum, but some of our Instagrammers have posted fun snapshots of themselves sitting or standing on the chair!
Fischer's pieces are located in the museum's East Gallery among various portraits. While the still lifes seem to have little to do with portraiture, the mirrored portion provides a connection to the theme of the gallery. Because one can see his or her own reflection in the boxes, the piece becomes a portrait of that person, and our gallery becomes a portrait gallery with revolving portraits with our lovely guests as the subjects- just another special interactive portion of these stunning pieces.
Art museums have a real challenge: they must display art and its history in an interesting and contemporary way. That's not to say that museums are stodgy or uninteresting; in fact they have survived and thrived into the digital age by promoting direct contact between the public and traditionally conservative collections.
Engaging the public is essential to the success of any exhibit or a museum. Successful museums have learned that creating interactive areas for their visitors, whether it is in specific exhibits or throughout the museum in general, is a strategy that works. The most popular exhibits include audience interaction or talkbacks.
Here at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Curator of Collections Marisa Pascucci has created an interactive portion in our current exhibition, Afghan Rugs: The Contemporary Art of Central Asia. There is a desk with Post-it notes and pencils where the museum-goer is encouraged to share thoughts on the exhibition or art in general.
There are 62 responses posted on the board and the majority of them state things such as:
There are; however, 6 or 7 more in-depth comments on both the Afghan Rug and exhibit and the other temporary exhibition installed in our north gallery, Elaine Reichek: The Eye of the Needle. These notes discussed art and war (in response to the war imagery in the Afghan war rugs), the use of symbolism in the Afghan Rug exhibit and in Elaine Reichek's works and how they were similar, as well as a discussion of the history and images in the Afghan rugs.
All in all it was surprising and refreshing to read some of the insightful comments as well as see some children's handwriting and drawings getting excited about being able to express an opinion of their own. The museum also displays a monitor that runs both Twitter and Instagram feeds. When a visitor tweets or Instagrams and tags the museum it appears on the monitor. It is great to hear feedback from people who have just visited or see the beautifully edited Instagrams of favorite pieces in the museum.
Speaking from personal experience, many museum exhibitions I have attended have offered at some sort of audience participation. For example, in Florence, Italy last fall the Palazzo Strozzi presented an exhibit entitled Unstable Territory: Borders and Identity in Contemporary Art in which contemporary artists portrayed the different meaning of "territory."
In one portion of the show, the audience was asked to write or draw on a large dry-erase board their thoughts on language barriers, love and other traditions. In addition, at the Venice Biennale, last fall, there was an exhibit that the audience created themselves.
Croatian artist Kata Mijatovic asked via social media, as well as at the venue, for specific dreams from the viewers of the show. The dreams were then displayed on television screens throughout the room with accompanying pictures and music. This sort of interaction directly affects the exhibit itself. It is less of a reaction to the art, but more of a way of making the art; an interesting way to get viewers involved.
More personal, and fun, are the prompts and written responses museum curators come up with to promote thoughtful interaction with the exhibit. Nina Simon, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History uses interaction in some of her shows and it is pretty successful.
Some creative ways in which Simon encouraged participation in just one exhibition, Santa Cruz is in the Heart:
Each of the displays asked the viewers to recall personal experiences that corresponded to the theme of the show. Generally the greatest concern with each interactive portion was the number of appropriate responses to the prompt. Obviously, without the cooperation of the audience, the interactive portion of exhibitions does not matter. The key is to come up with a prompt that will inspire audiences and create thoughtful and meaningful comments on works at the museum.
So, why is it important for audiences to interact with art? Well first of all, if the museum-goer puts something about the collections on their social media it can inspire more people to visit. More importantly; though, it creates a dialogue between the institution and the viewer.
Sometimes it's not enough to just stand in front of a piece. Thinking about and reacting to art is as important as looking at it. That is precisely the thing that curators are prompting you to do.
With the areas designed for audience interaction the viewer can:
These sorts of reactions are what art is about, anyone can be an art critic and you don't need an art history degree to be able to talk about it. That's why we at the Boca Raton Museum of Art encourage everyone to Tweet, Instagram, Facebook or Post-it about something they enjoyed at the museum!
We've all had the thought while walking through a museum: "What is the artist trying to say with this piece?" We may not understand their intent right away, and we, perhaps, never will or will just forget about it altogether. Sometimes, it doesn't really matter what the artists meant, but rather how that piece made us feel. In any case, we all have different experiences at museums, and if given the opportunity to take a tour with a docent – someone who is well educated in the museum collection and offers great insight into the art and its significance and, thereby, enhance our museum experience, why not take it? Docents are volunteers. They contribute their time to educate museum visitors about specific exhibits and/ or collections in the Museum. The fact that they donate their time means that they want to offer their service and that they like what they do. Docents do not receive monetary compensation, but they do feel compensated, each in his/her own way. Additionally, every docent has their own reasons for volunteering, which brings me to another point – every volunteer has a story.
CBS News Sunday Morning had a segment in its broadcast called "Everybody has a Story" a few years ago (it is not shown as much now). Sitting down to write this blog and interviewing one of our many wonderful docents, Renee Buchsbaum, that particular news segment came to mind. Later, I thought how great it would be to apply the same concept with our volunteers to our Museum blog every few months.
To kick off our new blog segment – "Every Volunteer Has a Story" – I will begin by telling Renee's story. We sat down together last week and she told me a bit about herself, her travels, and her experience as a docent at the Boca Museum.
Renee graduated as a docent in 2013 and has been heading tours for a little less than six months. Originally a 'snowbird', she became aware of the docent program at the Boca Museum and decided to stay in Florida in order to fulfill her docent training which ran past the summer. Her main reason for becoming a docent is because she enjoys art and it is "fulfilling for yourself; walking amidst beautiful things." She mentioned that, as a widow and with so much available time, she enjoys the docent experience very much, especially because she loves being around people and loves the atmosphere at the Museum. When asked what are the pros and cons of being a docent and to give any advice to those thinking of becoming docents, she could only think of positive things to say about it; that it is enriching and that anyone thinking about participating should definitely do it. "It is so rewarding….getting something back by exchanging ideas with people and children, whether you have an art background or not." (Renee has a background in interior design). She also said that not only is the experience enriching for her, but that docents also enhance the visitor experience through the Socratic Method by discussing, narrating, and asking questions. Renee took a one month hiatus to travel to Asia and is now settling back in from the whirlwind of a trip. As we sat together, a few of her colleagues stopped to greet her and expressed how happy they were to have her back; Renee was very glad to back as well.

What makes the Boca Museum's Art Festival important and vital to the community? South Florida in February is resplendent with festivals of all flavors for visitors and residents alike. Choosing how to spend your weekend in this sunshine paradise can pose a dilemma. Of course we think Boca Raton is paradise and Mizner Park is the spot inside this paradise. But we also believe Art Matters. This sounds like a cliché but it is the mantra we at the Museum espouse when creating events, programs and of course exhibitions. The Boca Museum of Art started our festival over 28 years ago and decided to set the bar high for inclusion in the festival. As a nonprofit cultural institution, it's paramount that we engage the community, enrich people's lives and help fund our organization. This outdoor festival has continually hit these marks.
This year the Museum held its 28th Annual Juried Outdoor Art Festival on February 8 & 9. With over 230 artists showcasing their artwork and thousands of visitors attending the event, the festival was a complete success in every sense of the word. We cannot thank our VOLUNTEERS (community & staff) enough for the 200+ hours of dedicated assistance. And the festival would not be the same without the art; we want to thank all of the artists who participated as well.
The event gives artists the opportunity to expose and sell their artwork, and it allows the community to engage with the art, the artists, and each other, not to mention the chance to take home a newly purchased art piece or two. The Museum also benefits by being able to fulfill its mission of celebrating, presenting, and inspiring creativity.
Juried festivals are fairly common and offer artists recognition and if they are lucky a cash prize to boot. And so we come to the really unique aspect of our festival. This year we are proud to have enlisted Marisa Pascucci the Museum's Curator of 20th Century and Contemporary Art as our juror. A curator's job requires a breadth of knowledge and skill in accessing and selecting exceptional contributions to the art world.
Jurying a competition is no easy task! Marisa explains, "Being asked to judge 200+ booths featuring the work of so many talented artists and their fascinating art is a blessing and a curse—while looking at art gives me great joy, it's a huge challenge to say the least to narrow it down to a Best in Show and nine Merit Awards. I could've easily awarded Merit prizes for truly exceptional and significant artwork to at least 50 of the participants as opposed to 10."
For all those who missed the juried results CLICK HERE to see the recap.
As a final note… hope to see you next year in paradise!

A Beaufort County man is facing charges for killing more than a dozen swans in neighboring Hyde County.
NC Wildlife Master Officer Robert Wayne says Steven Price had a license to bag one Tundra Swan, but shot 14. He was arrested Wednesday.
Price is charged with exceeding the seasonal bag limit of a migratory waterfowl by 13, failure to tag migratory waterfowl at site of kill, and possession of unlawfully taken game.
Wayne says Price was hunting on private land, south of Pungo Lake in the western part of the county.
Wayne says the replacement cost is $1078 per bird. If convicted, Price could be fined $14,014 for the 13 illegal killed birds. He could also lose his hunting license for one year for the class 2 misdemeanor.
Price lives in the Pamlico Beach area with a Belhaven address listed on the citation.

The radiator on my Peugeot 106 has started leaking very badly and need replacing. I don't have time to fix it at the moment, so I'm taking it to a garage. How far can I drive it without damaging the rest of the car? Or do I need to get it towed?

In the case where you run it too hot, you could start messing up your head gasket or warping the head itself. If you have to, in a warm climate, use distilled water or just keep replacing the antifreeze until you can get it somewhere, after which you'll have to have the whole system flushed.
If you live in a cold climate your engine block could freeze and crack. Definitely do not use water in this case.
Are you just leaking from a hose or the radiator somewhere? You might already have a blown head gasket and you could be burning off the antifreeze in the engine. Is there any film or other liquid in your oil?
I would tow it if it's as bad as you say; head gasket repair can run $600 - $1,000 or more. A few bottles of antifreeze to get you there is obviously a considerably smaller investment (though I'm not sure how much your city will like you leaking antifreeze all over).
I would not recommend driving with an empty radiator, that could cause the engine to overheat as well as damaging the water pump.
It depends on how much you are leaking. I've had a leak in a radiator and had to take it somewhere a few times, here's what I usually do.
You should be able to take a vehicle at least 5, maybe 10, miles by following this advice. I should say that I live in an area that never freezes, so...
A much cheaper option then towing, but which will ensure that nothing gets damaged, is for you just to fix the leak temporarily on the spot with some putty. I've seen cheap putty specifically for the purpose of fixing leaking radiators sold at many gas/petrol filling stations.
As with many things, it depends. I was once in the car when my dad drove about 15km at highway speed, not taking any special care, before remembering that he'd drained the coolant system of his Saab 900 and forgotten to re-fill it. The engine was up to temperature by that point, but we stopped straight away, found some water, and filled it up, and no obvious damage occurred — the car still runs fine years later.
On the other hand, you could drive a few hundred metres and blow your head gasket. In your situation, I would get a friend to tow the car to a garage, or maybe ask the garage if they can tow you — maybe New Zealand garages are just friendly but a lot of them are happy to!
If towing is not an option for some reason, and it's not leaking too quickly, I'd just pull over regularly to top the radiator up.
I read all the advice that was given and each in their 9 en way was the proper procedure to their situation. Mines is that my cap to my cooliant was not put back on correctly and the result was a blown cap that I still can't find to this day! I decided to just put sum water in it and I just typed of one end of a soak, and stuffed the hole u and ducked taped it real good. That was only a temporary fix until I could get to a store the next morning. It worked Just fine.

Eric & Angie Machado
The offensive line was over-matched early by the bigger and more physical Stanford defensive front, but they hung in there and fought their way back. That game was a total momentum game. Stanford had it in the first quarter, the Beavers gained it in the second and third quarter and the Cardinal regained it in the fourth.
Perspective is an interesting thing. Reading the Bay Area newspapers this morning their take was that Stanford had to battle a really good team to come away with the win. Beaver fans have been doom and gloom.
The biggest issue that I see is the Beavers are still struggling to establish a run game. Storm Woods had some solid runs, but missed a couple key blocks. In order to be a back in Riley's offense you need three things: 1) you have to take care of the football; 2) you have to be able to pass protect; 3) you need to move the ball (either by catching screens or rushing).

Tale of Verve
3yo Colt Tale of Ekati Verve
6-1-1-2 $54,600
Still with just a maiden win to his credit, Tale of Verve was entered in the May 2 Kentucky Derby (G1) but scratched when he didn't draw into the field off the also-eligible list.
The bay colt is a son of Tale of Ekati, winner of the 2008 Wood Memorial (G1) who finished fourth in the Derby and sixth in the Belmont Stakes (G1) for owner-breeder Charles Fipke and trainer Barclay Tagg.
Tale of Verve spent the fall of his 2-year-old season in Kentucky, running third in a pair of maiden special weight races, before moving with trainer Dallas Stewart's string to Fair Grounds for the winter.
In New Orleans, Tale of Verve failed to hit the board in two more maiden races until running second March 5 going 1 1/16 miles. He finally tasted victory in his subsequent start, pulling away to win by two lengths as the favorite at 1 3/16 miles – the same distance as the Preakness Stakes (G1).

Williams Companies Inc Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (WMB)
TheStreet) -- Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency).

- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, WMB's share price has jumped by 25.91%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, WILLIAMS COS INC has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.
- 41.20% is the gross profit margin for WILLIAMS COS INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of WMB's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, WMB's net profit margin of 8.84% compares favorably to the industry average.
- WMB, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 6.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 11.2%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- WILLIAMS COS INC's earnings per share declined by 41.9% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WILLIAMS COS INC turned its bottom line around by earning $1.35 versus -$1.88 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 14.8% in earnings ($1.15 versus $1.35).

Replacing double-hung wooden windows with newer vinyl windows may seem like an obvious choice, but it's not your only option.
Buyer beware: unscrupulous contractors and shady deals are everywhere.
Angie's Answers
Hello - I hope my answer will help point you in the right direction.
The reason you're having a hard time getting clear information is because there are hundreds of companies saying their window is the best. There are probably millions of different features you can choose to have for your windows and in price ranges from $169-$1200 (per double-hung window).
I've been in the business for 15 years and have seen many different window products from many different dealers and manufacturers. This all comes down to: "what's important for you and your home?" If you want a strong warranty from a company who has a full-time service department to give you piece of mind and service your windows should needs be, or are you looking at only those companies who offer true wood interior windows that you can paint or stain to match the home decor? Whatever is your hot-button, then that's where you want to start.
I would recommend you first choose how you want your new windows to look. Wood-interior with vinyl clad is only offered by certain companies, while there is a vinyl woodgrain finish to give you similar results without the maintenance. If you're only looking for a white interior and don't want the maintenance, a fiberglass or vinyl window would be the best choice from what is offered in the market today (vinyl will be less expensive - not necessarily cheaper quality). If you are going to change out a window to a french door and a door to a window, then you WILL NEED to find a contractor with some carpentry experience. Some companies will tell you upfront that they do not handle those sorts of remodeling projects due to the complexity and time it would take to get it complete.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to personally help you with your project as we work in the New England Area. However, if you wish to talk further, please feel free to email me at: email@example.com and I'll be happy to let you know our prices for what we offer so you can compare and hopefully find a similar company to do the work for you near the Austin area.
Get your roofer back out there. Course of shingles above the window need to be pulled, self sealing flashing, drip caps, and counter and step flashing are going to be required here.
This is a flashing issue as the window connects to the mansard roof surface.
Condensation and a leak are two different and very noticeably different (i.e. volume) things.
Flashing and roofing on Mansards can be tricky but is sounds very much like a roofing issue.
For a broken window (or leaking seal in multi-pane unit), for a standard roughly 2x3 foot window, can run from low of about $75-125 for single pane to more like $200-300 range for triple pane, depending on construction and any special ultraviolet or heat reflective coatings. If a removeable window unit, of course cheaper to remove it and take to replacement glass place then have them come out, measure glass size, order glass unit, then come back to install.
If taking in yourself, commonly they can do single-pane in an hour or two, but count on a week or so typically for sealed double or triple pane unit to come in, so you will have to seal the opening in the interim. That is an advantage of having them come out - they measure and determine type of unit on first visit and can seal with tape and plastic sheeting (if you have not already done that), then come back with new unit and install a week or two down the road - but you are not stuck with an opening in the wall for a long time.
Much easier to scratch and typically not as good a finished quality as compared to glass.
Benefits are the resistance to breakage as mentioned by LCD. Any glazing shop should be able to re-create that panel.
Thermal numbers look okay when looking at the NFRC.
Do you have any other data on them? Air infiltration, Design Pressure, Visible Transmittance, and Condensation Resistance are all good evaluators.
Air infiltration rate is way high at 0.21.
It may look nice in person but the performance numbers are below average.
Once you decide you are suing, there should be no further contact or access to the property with the contractor. If you have already been told you are suing, you should stop all access to your property (you are allowing them to gather evidence AGAINST you. Your lawyer may be able to reach an agreement outside of court to allow the contractor to fix the work within a specific time period, but even then make sure you are not in contact with the contractor. Anything you say, will be turned against you ("The Home Owner said it was okay.")
A building official has no legal obligation in court; his job is safety and minimum construction requirements as allowed per Code. He has no say over materials and methods, and cannot assess damage. (IRC doesn't have a requirement that the door you mention exceed 35", so he won't care it isn't 36" as an example). What he CAN do is state if the work is unsafe or causing other conditions which are unsafe. Let your lawyer decide; but it is not in your best interest to have the Building Offical inspect with the contractor.
To sue you need to show damages. Get another contractor (get some references or hire an architect to help ensure you get what you need) to inspect the work and give an estimate to repair. The amount the contractor(s) estimates becomes what you seek in court (plus court fees) from the contractor. If his work caused problems, you should be suing, not sued.
Also, be aware that no door manufacturer makes an actual 36" door (as an example). They each have their own frame sizes, so a "36 door" in reality will be 35 7/8" to 35 3/8". Each door maker has slightly different sizes (go online, you can see Pella, Anderson, Kolbe-Kolbe, etc. have their actual sizes available for PDF downloads). If you replace a Pella 36" with an Anderson's 36" they won't fit perfectly. In fact, the different styles within the same manufacturer are sometimes even different. The purpose of trim is to hide the gap between the wall and door frame, so your door may be perfectly fine in size and method of installation.
When you have this work corrected (and for any future work) utilize the services of a lisenced Architect. They will oversee the work, review requests for payments and document existing conditions and conditions found during construction to prevent the situation you are now in. They will also ensure the proper permits are filed and the inspections called for. Because they are a third party to the agreement, they can be the 'bad guy' and make the contractor perform, where you just have to pay the invoices they approve. The contractor deals with the Architect (and vice versa) and you get the project you wanted. The cost of the architect would have been around $3,200 and is minimal compared to what you are dealing with now, the peace of mind is worth it and architects often find cost savings that go directly back to the Home Owner. When you account for time alone, you will have spent more than this on just preparing and attending the court case.
Because this is headed to court, stop all communication with the contractor and get yourself counsel. Good luck.
Window Replacement reviews in Gridley
Luckily I had also called , and he happened to be the first appointment. Aside from being early and getting right down to business, he was very friendly and explained everything in great detail. After taking a look, he went ahead and ran some caulk where the two parts of the window met there was a slight gap. He said the window was structurally sound, the issue is with the surrounding trim, so there was no reason for replacement. Offered some ideas on where else the water may be getting in, a gable vent, but it was unlikely, and as it would mean ripping out part of the ceiling to inspect, unless it happens again, there's no reason to go there yet.
Now to go cancel the other appointments I made, all of which seem to be high pressure salesman that are requiring both of us sit thru a 90 minute presentation!
One of the screens came damaged and it was to be replaced and now a month later I am told that the replacement was not sent by the manufacturer and it will have to be rescreened.
Everything with this job has been a frustration, we are glad it is ...MoreRead more of this review finally done and we can move on.

Every day, Jacob would sit in his chair and stare out into the wilderness, listening to all the cracking and pounding sounds coming from the woods. For hours he would daydream about becoming the first human to venture into the woods and come out alive.
For many years, Jacob lived in the same house, following the same dull routine every day. One day he realized he could live his dream: to become famous and have people bow down to him every hour on the clock. He had finally found the determination to begin his adventure and marched sternly out the front door.

This is a the begining of a story By Ak and Kd.
One fine March day two tigers were born to a dwindling species, and their mother Janalaa was lucky that they were so healthy.
As I opened my eyes for the first time I saw a world full of color, not black like I had been seeing for the last 16 days The reason the tiger had been seeing black for the last 16 days was that tigers cannot see for the first 16 days of their life. I saw the green of the bushes and trees and red of the berries on the bushes outside our den, brown of our den, blue of the sky and then the golden yellow of a sun beam that settled on my mother's kind and aged face. In the middle of this beautiful world me my sister and mother huddled in a ball not knowing what was going to happen or when. We were content as we were in this big jungle with dangers unknown and us barely anything in this world.
I learned later that my sister was named Laani and I was called Saranga (Sarana).
Chapter 1
More family stripes
All we really did the first few weeks of life was sleep and drink milk from mother. All I really remember in these few weeks was the feeling of warm milk in my mouth and drifting off to sleep with with a full belly.
One day though things happened a bit unusually. My sister Saranga and I were asleep and then I woke up because the warm body that had been beside me a little while ago had moved. I opened one eye dazed and then opened the other eye immediately. My mother was not next to me and instead of my mother there was a big huge muscled tiger that smelled somehow familiar even though I had never in my life seen any other tiger than me my sister and mother. This tiger was not lying down and cuddling like my mother usually would, this tiger was lurking around in the bushes. I was so afraid because never before had anything come near other than a bird when my mother was off hunting. I did not know what to do so I kicked my sister to get her awake. She got up with a few purrs but I shut her up quickly by telling her about the strange tiger in the bushes. Father tigers do not stay with the mother for the birth of the children, but leave to wander their teritory. I tried to show her the tiger but the tiger was gone and she thought it was all made up and that I had just seen an orange bird fly by and thought it was a tiger, but I knew the truth.
Later that morning when mom got back from hunting I told her about the big tiger. When I explained him she got a quick look of worry on her face but then her face turned back to normal and she said "Oh I think you were just imagining it because no other tigers ever come here". But I insisted that mom had to make a check around. After lunch of a young gazelle (which was delicious and tender) we set of to search for any evidence. Sure enough there was proof, excrement, scratches on a big tree and a unknown scent that was definitely tiger but not ours. Mom concluded that it must have been our father and that we should not be scared just aware.
He came every other day but stayed at a fair distance getting further each time he passed through.
I got use to the fact of our father being around but I was very intent on meeting him so one night when I was supposed to be asleep. I was thinking and made up my mind to go out and actually meet him. That morning when my mother was away hunting I told Saranga my idea. Saranga agreed and we started planning. We agreed that the best time to go was the next morning at dawn when mother would go hunting for us and our father would be arriving in a few minutes. So the when our mother came back from hunting we ate and went on normally but the truth was that all we could think about was the next morning and meeting our father. That night I could barely sleep but when we finally got to sleep I dreamed of my father and what he must be like.
In the morning I woke up to Saranga kicking me and I knew it was time to go. As I figured out later my mother had just left as I woke up and that no time had been lost since saranga had been up hours before me waiting for my mother to leave to hunt. We left for the meadow where he would enter our teritory (as well as his).
When we got there we hid in some bushes on the edge of the medow to hide and wait. It was good we got there so early because after a minute of hiding he emerged from the forest his big majestic body was walking across the field and for a second I forgot what we were doing and just was hypnotized but then I remembered what we were there for and I got out of my daydreaming impulse and started on our plan. We had decided that I would stay in the bushes and make sure it was a good time well saranga would come out of the bushes right infront of his path and pretend I was hurt. Then I would come out of the bushes pretending we were still playing and see our father and pretend to be afraid and run away from him well saranga would try to limp after me and not make it.

As part of Albany Medical Center's commitment to community education, the Department of Emergency Medicine provides continuing education and regular communication to local emergency medical services personnel. The Office of Emergency Medicine Outreach offers numerous programs for prehospital professionals of all levels. We provide lectures taught by emergency department physicians and other experts on the field on the second Tuesday and third Wednesday of each month. These lectures can be attended in person or through videoconferencing in order to meet the annual continuing education requirements.
Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is recognized around the world as the leading continuing education program for prehospital emergency trauma care. PHTLS programs are developed from the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Program, a course for physicians developed by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. They follow the principles of trauma care developed by the Committee on Trauma. The Committee provides the medical direction and content oversight for the PHTLS program. NAEMT PHTLS.
Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) is an education program sponsored of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). The program is endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). This program is for all levels of healthcare practitioners committed to providing quality care for patients in medical crisis. AMLS is the first course that offers a "think-outside-the-box" method of assessing and managing a patient in medical crisis. NAEMT AMLS.
Pediatric Education for Pre-hospital Providers (PEPP) represents a comprehensive source of pre-hospital medical information for the emergent care of infants and children. It will teach pre-hospital professionals how to better assess and manage ill or injured children. PEPP.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) The American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on science evidence from the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. The goal of the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest; the systematic approach to pediatric assessment; effective respiratory management; defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion; intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration; and effective resuscitation team dynamics. AHA PALS.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) The American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support course is totally redesigned for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. Through the ACLS course, providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies. ACLS emphasizes the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; the integration of effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions; and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation. AHA ACLS.
WMD Awareness Level Training AWR 160, developed by the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC), the WMD (Weapons Of Mass Destruction) Awareness-Level Training Course is a six-hour program that provides emergency responders with awareness-level instruction on recognition, avoidance, isolation, and notification techniques in a WMD environment. The course covers prevention and deterrence and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) hazards. TEEX.

1.02 A player can play on only one National Championship team in the same age bracket; however, a player can play on an additional team in an older age bracket if he also qualified with that team and the events are not at the same time.
Rule 2.00 Team and Individual Player Eligibility
2.01 A team may not be composed of more than:
Ages 9U-10U, 17 eligible players. Coaches or managers are not included in the 17. Manager, coaches, business manager and scorekeeper may not exceed four (4) total.
2.02 Age Eligibility: A player's age on April 30 of the season will dictate his age group for that season. A player can always play up in age divisions. For ages 15U-17U, graduation year can also be used.
2.03 A tournament director may manage or coach in any tournament in which he also serves as the tournament director or host. There shall be a separate tournament director and protest committee selected to handle all rule problems within the tournament.
2.04 The team's manager is responsible for all aspects of the eligibility of the players on his team and that they meet the requirements as set forth in Rule 2.02.
2.05 A player who is in violation of the age eligibility shall be considered an illegal player.
2.06 If anytime during a tournament game, a player is discovered illegal due to an age violation or participating on more than one team in the same tournament, the offending player will be suspended from play for the remainder of the tournament in any age bracket. Upon the second offense appropriate action up to and including suspension of offending team and coaches to further participation in future Perfect Game events may be taken.
2.07 In each age division, all participating players in Perfect Game Super25 events shall have photocopies of their original birth certificates in the possession of their team manager. Electronic copies of ID documents are accepted. Failure to have a copy of a birth certificate upon demand will result in suspension for the remainder of the event until such document can be produced. Driver's License is permitted.
2.08 A team must have 100-percent of its roster from its home area, region or bordering regions. A California, Florida, or Texas team is from either the North or South region of its state.
2.08.1 Residency Requirements will be the sole discretion of Perfect Game. Each case will be handled on an individual basis by the PG Super25 National Office. The National Office will make the fairest ruling possible, and that ruling will be final. Perfect Game Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
2.09 Teams must use the same roster for the National Championships that they used to qualify with at the Regional or Super Qualifier. Teams are able to replace players lost to injury or other conflicts that prohibit them from participating in the National Championship, but they must keep the same number of players from the qualifying roster. All player replacements must be approved by Perfect Game. Perfect Game Roster Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
2.10 A team qualifying in the fall will have the ability to change its roster. Sixty-percent of the fall roster must remain the same for National Championship in all age divisions.
2.11 A team may only play in sanctioned events and regional tournaments from its home region or bordering regions. Teams from every region are eligible to play in all of the Super Qualifiers.
2.12 Florida State and Texas State Regionals are only open to teams from within that state.
Rule 3.00 Sanctioned Tournaments
3.01 Event host will provide four (4) complementary coach passes per team. All players will be admitted without charge.
3.02 Tie-breaking procedure in all Perfect Game Super25 tournaments are as follows:
3.02.1 Head-to-head (Removed to determine the top seed in a three-way tie, first criteria for determining the second seed in a three way tie).
3.02.2 Runs allowed (First criteria to determine the top seed in three-way tie in pool play, see "Tie-Breaker Example" below).
3.02.3 Runs Scored.
3.02.4 Run Differential.
3.02.5 Average runs per inning in pool play games.
3.02.6 Coin Flip.
3.02.7 Tie Breaker Example:
Pool A
Pool A Scores
Reds 6 Mets 3
Reds 2 Jays 3
Jays 3 Sox 2
Mets 6 Sox 5
Cubs 0 Reds 1
Jays 4 Cubs 0
Mets 5 Jays 2
Sox 0 Reds 1
Sox 3 Cubs 2
Cubs 0 Mets 13
Final Pool Standings
Pool Winner-Reds
Three teams tied with .750 win percentage Move on to head-to-head.
None of the 3-1 teams beat both the other two 3-1 teams. If a team lost to both of the other teams, they are eliminated from the tiebreaker.
Therefore head-to-head is thrown out for now.
Reds had the lowest runs allowed of the 3-1 teams so they win the pool.
The Pool Winner (Reds) is taken out of the equation to figure out the second-place team.
The Mets and Jays had the same win percentage Move on to head-to-head.
The Mets beat the Jays so they are the second-place team of the pool.
With the top two teams removed, win percentage is the criteria which determines third- through fifth-place of the pool.
3.03 Regional and Super Qualifier tournament event champions receive a berth to the current season's National Championship. Champions must confirm attendance at the National Championship immediately following the tournament. If a team is already registered for the BCS or other PG core event that is paired with the Super25 National Championship, they will be automatically transferred over from that event.
3.03.1 Perfect Game decides the Champion on incomplete Regional and/or Super Qualifier.
3.04 Perfect Game Super25 National Championships are open to all travel and competitive baseball teams from 9U-17U age brackets. Teams must qualify to play in the National Championship.
Rule 4.00 Ejection Rules
Ejection offenses include:
4.01 Physical attack on an umpire, tournament official, associate director, associate officer, and/or any player or fan prior, during, or immediately following a game played under the authority of Perfect Game.
4.02 Players, coaches, managers, or sponsors threatening an umpire, tournament official, associate director, or associate officer with physical harm.

Replacing Ryan Theriot
Wednesday's post had me breaking down the Cubs' leadoff hitters in 2010. That led me to researching which Cubs led the club in other offensive categories last season. I've listed some of the more interesting ones below.
Longest Hitting Streak: 13 games…..Ryan Theriot.
Most Runs Scored: 4………………Ryan Theriot.
Most Hits: 5…………………….Ryan Theriot.
Most Stolen Bases: 2 (3 times)…….Ryan Theriot.
Most Total Bases: 12……………..Aramis Ramirez.
Most Extra Base Hits: 3 (twice)……Alfonso Soriano & Ramirez.
Most Triples: 2………………….Mike Fontenot.
Most RBI: 7……………………..Aramis Ramirez.
Most BB: 3 (11 times) most recently..Bobby Scales.
Most K's: 4 (4 times) most recently..Micah Hoffpauir.
2-Hit Inning: 1………………….Marlon Byrd.
So what does this tell us about the 2011 Cubs? One, replacing Ryan Theriot could become more challanging than it first appeared. Two, it's obvious the Cubs need a healthy season from Aramis, and three, it's apparent runs could come at a premium with the addition of the free-swinging Carlos Pena and the lack of a true leadoff man.

I have been drawing maps as long as I can remember. My school books were always sketched with maps of islands, cities, whatever my imagination would see fit to generate during a boring math class. I grew up with a globe in my hands as much as a remote control or hockey stick. I went on to complete a degree in social sciences (maj. geography, min. history).
Fast forward a little bit and I find this site. I absolutely love it!
Attached are two different maps. One I made over a year ago after first finding this site (the world map). The second, a WIP, that I started yesterday. This one is a city I have named "Iron Rock" and is located where the red arrow is pointing on the world map.
I'm not too fussy on the trees (couldn't get that figured out), so I will probably change them.
Anyway, looking forward to showing off work, and especially, viewing all the work you guys put up!

At the Lodge we take a good night's sleep very serious. We know are guests are often a little stressed, over worked and need to decompress. Here is what we offer at the Lodge:
- The very best mattresses money can buy – no kidding. Dennis & Chloe try each one out personally.
- 500 plus thread count sheets, pressed as smooth as silk. Close your eyes and imagine crawling in. Great sensation.
- Take a deep breath – that's fresh, clean air with a hint of pine. A wonderful smell. No scented soap or fabric softeners at the Lodge.
- Open your windows on a summer night and feel the cool lake air on your face. A good night's sleep should also include a cool room.
- And while those windows are open, you will hear almost nothing. Such amazing quiet. Maybe the sound of a loon calling to its mate.
That is all. Then you drift off.

Boy, Born April 10, 2003
HELP! I have been transferred to a remote institution, with no hope of finding my family without you!
Jason spends his time either in a crib or in a stroller, sitting outside.
He needs a lot of love and attention … He is a good, sweet child, but he has a lot of self-injuring behaviors. Unfortunately, he is often restrained because he hits himself really hard.
Update Nov 2012: Jason is learning to walk with support!
From a family who visited with him in June 2013: I saw Jason this morning. I got to take him for a walk in the stroller, play with him, feed him (twice!), and get him ready for his nap. He is wonderful. He loved it when I made my hand crawl up his belly and tickle him under the chin. I was rewarded with loud laughing and a huge smile. He liked to have me rub his feet, and whenever I would stop he would stick his little foot up for more. He makes noises but he does not talk. He can walk if he holds both of your hands, but he prefers to crawl as he can go faster. He is the king of the bouncy seat. He sits in it whenever he can, and he shooed away another child who came too close. 😉 He is about the size of a four year old and is in a 4/5 shirt. He's heavier than I thought he would be, but I can carry him easily. I'm totally in love.
10 day wait often waived here. Married couples only, larger families welcome.

May 5, 2016
The public is expected to get its first glimpse Monday at the evidence against a high-ranking U.S. Army officer facing court-martial for sex crimes.
An Article 32 hearing is scheduled at Fort Bragg for Brig. Gen. Jeffery A. Sinclair, who was sent home from a combat tour in Afghanistan earlier this year. He was charged with a list of crimes including forcible sodomy, wrongful sexual conduct, violating an order and possessing alcohol while deployed.
The Army has thus far kept secret any further details, refusing to provide even the name of his defense lawyer. A Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Associated Press seeking charging documents routinely made available in other cases was rebuffed by Pentagon officials. The officials say releasing the documents would invade the general's privacy.

Mob bosses send out people just as terrifying as our Adult Massive Mobster Costume to take care of business. An order of this dress up set includes the jacket with shirt front and attached tie, inflatable shoulder component, oversized mask, and pants. The top and pants are designed as a classic pinstripe black suit which were popular with mobsters in the 1920s. The inflatable shoulders will make you appear much taller and bulkier than you really are, and the gigantic mask helps to keep it proportionate. A huge, angry caricature face with a cigar in its mouth decorates the mask. This men's massive mobster costume is a great way to poke fun at those classic mafia movies. Pick up our spat shoes and toy guns to go with it.

So I hoped to enter this months challenge. Working with a bunch of maps in the same style seemed an invitation to scripting so I dashed off write a gimp script to take a map template like this:
and running the script creates a map like this:
It works, but I'm still playing with the script and doubt I'll be able to make a token set for the map, unless I just crib from by clip art (which is what I would do for my self).
One thing to note is that the output has been cropped in by one grid on all sides, a step that was necessary to allow connecting tunnels and shading to work cleanly at the edges, but I'm still not happy about it...
