they are playing in fayetteville tommorrow, worth going to check out?
i may have to break my no drinking during the week rule and go check them out.
American Aquarium is a big-hearted band that manages to make metaphors of hard-drinking and fast-living oddly touching while pouring all their energy into their shows. Imagine blending the Drive by Truckers with Bruce Springsteen, then throw in a little Ryan Adams and some Wilco and top the whole thing off with a bottle of Jameson. That little concoction would yield the unabashed rock and roll/country sound of American Aquarium.
American Aquarium is appearing at George's Majestic Lounge on Thurs., Jan. 31, with opening act, Damn Arkansan.
No Depression writes:
"At a time when so many bands are busy di**ing around with art school interpretations of roots music, trying to reinvent the wheelbarrow and create an avant-garde Americana revolution, it's refreshing to hear American Aquarium throw a fastball right down the middle."
yep that's what an AA show will do.. What did you think?

text: I watched this, and the rest of the series, based on Face-to-Face recommendations and various reviews from various sites. This is one of the thinnest most disappointing (worst) series I have ever seen! The Characters are transparent. Nothing is left to the imagination. No mystery, no suspense. At any point the story and characters could have been more, and various individual character personalities, and storylines, could have been covered and revealed as the series continued. Maybe this was my problem; the story, and series at large, in no way "Unfolded" it was presented, and within the... See full review

deleted easter eggs: team photos, etc.
More nostalgia. Some time around 2010 all the easter egg photos got stripped out of OpenOffice.org. FWIW…
Calc Team circe 2002 (?). What you used to get with =STARCALCTEAM(). This one is still available apparently in the last version of Symphony
writerteam Geordi Release 2002/2003 (?). This one was the last picture you used to get on StarWriterTeam + F3. (Yes, there was a sequence of Star Trek related release names.) I met mmaher, back row, second from right, at my brother's housewarming earlier this year.
writerteam StarOffice 6.0 Release 2000-2001. This was the earlier version. Seeing as I'm pasted in at the back but mtg (front row, second from right) is present in the flesh it must have been made after March/April 2001 after I transferred from Hamburg to Sun Ireland. Finally met up with mtg at Dublin Zoo + Ballymore Eustace a month ago after a long gap.
The Easter egg police didn't find them all. At least one of the most ridiculously obscure and pointless Easter eggs still apparently persists in all descendents of StarOffice in each exported .doc. Only mtg ever noticed as far as I know, and only noticed a few months ago after a gap of 11 years or so
The earlier "remove rude comment" police didn't quite grok the light weight version of hungarian notation we use either, so my use of airlied's (then at least) favorite metasyntactic variable in it's hungarian notation variant of nArse survived that cull and lives on in the rather crufty starmath/equation editor import code.
I miss =game("StarWars"). If a demonstration was heading south it could always be recovered by launching starwars. "My god, they translated it to German" is the most memorable comment from some LinuxTag or other that I can remember. German was the only language it was in.

Gutting Big Government
Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr wants to lower taxes and slash the federal budget
By Simon McCormack
Bob Barr says the Republican Party has lost its way.
The Libertarian presidential candidate and former member of Congress is fed up with the party he once aligned himself with.
"I believe in liberty and smaller government—
The former CIA employee speaks quickly and forcefully about his plans to lower taxes and limit the role of government.
As president, Barr says he would slash the federal budget. He would cut funding for social safety net programs like welfare, Medicare and Social Security. He says he would also reduce military and education spending.
For Barr, the less influence the federal government has on the lives of its citizens, the better. He would pass along the savings from a shrunken federal government to every taxpayer. "All Americans are paying too much because their government is spending too much," Barr says. "I believe in a much fairer, much less complex and cumbersome tax system."
I believe in liberty and smaller government—principles the Republican Party used to stand by and practice. Now it's become even more big government-oriented than the Democratic Party.
Presidential candidate Bob Barr
Barr would like to institute a national "consumption tax," which would be applied to goods and services much like a sales tax.
The former congressman from Georgia sees problems with both major party presidential candidates' tax proposals. He's against the corporate subsidies Sen. John McCain supports, and he's especially critical of Sen. Barack Obama's call to increase taxes on high-income Americans. "I don't play class envy games like Sen. Obama," Barr say. "He would reduce taxes for most, but increase them for those who are most productive in economic terms."
Barr says the federal government should leave it up to the states to determine which drugs it chooses to make illegal. He takes the same stance on whether abortion should be against the law. "That's a matter for the states to decide," Barr says.
Barr authored and sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act, which passed in 1996. The law says only marriages between men and women can be federally recognized. He has since changed his view and says states should decide whether to allow same-sex marriages.
"We need to go after terrorists who are trying to do us harm. But I don't think it's a matter of sending more troops."
Presidential candidate Bob Barr
Crisis on Wall Street
The turmoil created by the demise of financial institutions like Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch is a serious concern for Barr. But he is opposed to the billion-dollar bailouts issued by the Federal Reserve. Obama and McCain have said the bailouts are unfortunate but necessary to keep the American economy as strong as possible. Barr says he doesn't think the Fed should have the authority to give out large sums of taxpayer dollars; especially since its members are not elected by the populous.
"The Federal Reserve Bank is unaccountable to the American people," Barr says. "I have serious questions about the constitutional and legal authority of the Reserve to issue these seemingly arbitrary bailouts of selected industries."
Both Obama and McCain have also pushed for greater regulation on Wall Street—something Barr is against.
Out of Our Backyards and Out of Other Countries
Barr heaps criticism on Obama and McCain for their support of warrantless wiretapping. He says he would keep government surveillance of its citizens to a bare minimum. "Certainly, the government must be able to confront crime and terrorism," Barr says on his campaign website. "But its powers must be limited to those truly necessary to protect Americans and which are consistent with the Constitution."
America's foreign presence needs to shrink, according to Barr. He's advocated a withdrawal of troops from Iraq and says he would probably not support sending more military forces to Afghanistan—
Another way Barr would reduce military spending is to get American troops out of nations they have no business being in, he says. "We maintain tens of thousands of troops overseas in countries perfectly capable of defending themselves," Barr says. "We need more focused military operations."
Stealing Votes
The conventional wisdom is that Libertarian presidential candidates tend to attract more conservative voters to their campaigns. Some political pundits have voiced speculation that Barr could steal votes from McCain. If that's the case, Barr says, it's not his problem. "If Sen. McCain is worried about losing votes, he should do a better job of gaining votes," he says.
When the dust settles, Barr contends he will have attracted voters from both sides of the political spectrum. "I think we'll have gained votes from people who were not inclined to vote for McCain or Obama," Barr says. "We're also attracting young voters who are not wed to the status quo parties like their parents."
Barr says he knows he and all other third-party candidates are at a financial disadvantage compared with the major party nominees. He's also frustrated he hasn't been allowed to participate in the presidential debates. Even so, Barr remains upbeat. "We're polling in double digits in some states, and I'm doing better than any Libertarian candidate has done," he says. The most successful Libertarian presidential candidate was Ed Clark, who ran in 1980. He pulled in slightly more than 1 percent of the vote. Many polls show Barr winning 2 percent or more. "It's a long shot," he says. "No doubt about it."
Bob Barr will be on the ballot in New Mexico as the Libertarian candidate. Here's where he stands on some major issues.
Barr would significantly reduce taxes for everyone, which, he argues, will mean more money in people's pockets. According to Barr, the best way to improve the economy is to keep government out of its way, allowing for the market forces inherent in capitalism to ensure economic prosperity.
Barr says troops should withdraw from Iraq as quickly as possible. "A continued U.S. presence in Iraq emboldens both insurgents and terrorists, and discourages the Iraqi government from taking control of promoting peace and prosperity in Iraq," Barr says on his website.
Barr is not in favor of government subsidies to oil companies and is also opposed to hitting them with a windfall profits tax. "The free market, driven by consumer choice and reflecting the real cost of resources, should be the foundation of America's energy policy," Barr says on his website. He would also allow drilling offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Health Care
Barr would reduce government regulations on the health care industry, he says, thereby reducing the cost of care. He would reduce government spending on Medicare and Medicaid and transfer the savings to Americans in the form of tax cuts. Barr says the free market operating with a minimum of government interference will provide cheaper, better health care for all.

Exhibition themes Burial Practices
Almost everything we know of ancient Peruvian cultures is because of the cult of the dead. Both noble and common people were interred in diverse ways. Tiers of importance—from ruling lords, priests, military leaders and retainers—can be understood through their respective accoutrements and placement in graves.
Early Chavinoid cultures of the north buried many people together, some in seated positions and others extended flat. Most were wrapped in simple cotton textiles. Only members of the elite were accompanied by gold or precious grave goods. The Paracas are known for complex mummy bundles, swathed in many luxurious cloths and accompanied by modest tools and ceramics. Vicús nobles were placed in shaft tombs, bodies wrapped, with precious ornaments alongside. Moche corpses, both male and female, were laid flat in tombs under many layers of treasure.
Lords of Sicán were buried in mummy bundles in lavish multi-level tombs, with masks, crowns, ear ornaments and jewels accompanying them into the afterlife. Bodies of women, children and servants have been found next to the noble dead, some sacrificed as offerings and others who died years before or after their lords. Chimú royalty was interred on burial platforms, tended by their heirs, inside the citadels of Chan Chan. Inca royalty was mummified, adorned and became part of annual postmortem ceremonies when their corpses were paraded around the city of Cuzco.

"You Got A Birdie!!"
Kids, Dogs and Birds. What could be better? I like seeing how the dog looked to the handler and then looked left, to the bird after the cast. Seeing how LOW the dog head was looking back at handler is eye opening. Do we bend down low enough when setting up our tests????

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
People want to know about Andy Kennedy and whether he'll be the basketball coach at Ole Miss next year.
The man who holds that answer is Ross Bjork, the new athletics director, who gave Kennedy a one-year extension last year when Bjork was just weeks on the job. The Rebels had just come very close to making the NCAA tournament but didn't. Bjork could have given Kennedy a raise but didn't. He could have extended Kennedy's contract more than just one year but didn't.
After the Rebels lost 63-62 at South Carolina on Feb. 20, Bjork talked about the excitement of sellout crowds at Tad Smith Coliseum and of evaluating Kennedy at the end of the season, which still has two games and the SEC tournament remaining.
It's unclear what remains beyond the SEC tournament. Playing in the NIT for what would be a sixth time in seven years under Kennedy is not a slam dunk. Bjork has said he would rely heavily on the in-put of the players as to whether the school would accept an NIT invitation.
That's the immediate future. If you're trying to determine how Bjork will handle Kennedy's future, consider Bjork's time as AD at Western Kentucky.
Just last year Bjork fired Western coach Ken McDonald 16 games into the season. McDonald was off to a 5-11 start. Assistant coach Ray Harper was appointed interim coach. Bjork said at the time that the Western program needed a "new voice" and someone to help restore "respect" to the program. Declining attendance was a factor in the decision.
Harper led a turnaround that ended in the NCAA tournament last year. This year the Hilltoppers are 16-15, 10-10 in the Sun Belt.
Bjork also terminated Western's women's coach early last March in one of his last big personnel moves before taking the Ole Miss job.
With that decision Bjork parted ways with a woman who had a 21-year history with the school as a player, assistant coach and head coach but had just finished the season with a 9-21 record.
Again, attendance was cited as a factor.
That's significant, because it speaks to Bjork's awareness of fan' support for his programs. Ole Miss fans are not unlike many others. When the Rebels win, they turn out. It will be interesting to see how fans support this team Tuesday night against Alabama, the last regular season home game.
Bjork made two tough decisions on head coaches in his final basketball season at Western Kentucky. Circumstances were different yet similar each time.
As far as the game yesterday, Kennedy called it "inexcusable" and said he had no explanation. That's correct both times.
How does a senior-dominated frontcourt get schooled by a freshman and a first-year junior college transfer who prior to Saturday could only assist their team to a 3-13 SEC record?
Ole Miss let Gavin Ware catch the ball too close to the rim, and when he did, the help defense either wasn't there or was lacking.
In other news, yet another big guy with perimeter skills abused the Rebels as Colin Borchert did what Kentucky's Kyle Wiltjer and Florida's Erik Murphy did, and that's step outside and hit 3s. When he was challenged he put the ball on the floor and scored, and the help defense wasn't there.
The Rebels were a little better defensively in the post in the second half, but the damage had been done. The law of averages said MSU would hit a couple of 3-pointers, and it did. Things started building. A crowd of less than 6,000 began to sound much louder.
One thing that didn't change was State's hustle on defense. Youngsters, take note of that. You don't have to be the most talented player on the floor to play defense. Defense is most often about effort and energy.
MSU had it Saturday. Ole Miss didn't, and the Rebels will finish the season once again coming close to the NCAA tournament but not getting in.

Croatian Judge Explains Reason For Jarrell Miller vs. Mirko Cro Cop Decision
- Written by Dave Walsh
We are a few weeks out from Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic scoring his K-1 World Grand Prix victory, winning three fights in one night and finally winning the "big one" after all of those years. Mirko Cro Cop has had a legendary career with battles with some of the biggest names in all of combat sports and an impressive resume over the span of two sports; MMA and Kickboxing. This World Grand Prix win was a big deal for Cro Cop as well as fans of his around the world, but many see it as a tainted victory.
In the Quarterfinal round Cro Cop faced off against America's Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller and the two had quite a war, with Miller dominating most of the fight, dictating where the fight took place and landing some truly devastating knees and punches from the clinch. The decision has been a topic of conversation since it happened, many deeming it to be a robbery and that Miller rightfully won the bout. Some of the Cro Cop faithful are willing to stick their necks out and say that Cro Cop won the fight, but the overwhelming opinion is that Cro Cop stole the victory and that it was handed to him by a hometown crowd, hometown judges or even having his manager and team as the promoters of the event.
There is no proof of foul play anywhere, but the circumstances are interesting, to say the least. On FightSite.hr (also a property of Fight Channel, which is owned and operated by Orsat Zovko, Cro Cop's manager) they posted an interview with one of the judges from the event, Mladen Kranjcec, who shared his thoughts on the event, the fight and how the judges rendered the decision for Mirko Cro Cop. He notes that there was another Croatian judge for the fights, Zvonko Rukavina, because the organizers felt that they needed Croatian judges.
While I'm not going to post a Google Translation on here, when asked the question as to the bout with Miller and the controversy around it, his explanation was that Miller was breaking the rules by throwing so many strikes from the clinch, which hindered Cro Cop from being able to fight the fight his way, and that the referee was at fault for not properly enforcing the rules. So the judges took it upon themselves to instead enforce those rules. He then commended Ismael Londt for not crying foul when Mirko Cro Cop went for a grounded strike after he knocked Londt down, or for "acting" like he got hit by it.
The problem here is that the basic logic is heavily flawed. In combat sports it is the referee's job to enforce the rules and the promoter and commission's job to ensure that the rules are clear and being enforced during the fights. It is not a judge's job to interpret the rules for themselves and to discount significant action because they believe it to not be legal. In boxing if a referee misses an intentional headbutt followed by a barrage of strikes the judges do not discount the strikes that follow the headbutt because they have a better understanding of the rules than the referee, they are forced to score the bout as it goes down and leave the rules to the official inside of the ring.
This logic is clearly heavily flawed and while it might clear up some of the controversy surrounding Mirko Cro Cop's K-1 WGP victory, these decisions made by officials will continue to mar what was a big night in Cro Cop's career.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great information !!! I am coming to the Seattle area after Christmas so I will run by the Weaving Works and pick up the colors that I want.
After 50 years of fly tying I finnaly decided to dye the tails I have left over. so I will have enough for the next 50 years :-)))
Thanks again
Despite the misconception that a lot of folks have about the difficulty of getting the same color or good color saturation when dying your own materials, it is really very easy to get the shade you want and to reproduce it at will. The use of good quality acid dyes and putting Synthrapol in the dye bath are the two main keys to getting the color you want and being able to reproduce it whenever you wish. To check the color of the dye bath, simply put a small piece of a paper towel in the dye bath, dry it with a hair dryer, and voila, you know what color you are going to get with a quality acid dye. And the Synthrapol (a dye disperant that makes the dye evenly dispersed throughout the dye bath as well as a detergent to keep oils from preventing the dye penetrating the material) is needed to prevent uneven dye penetration and streaking of color.
AS you have already found out, RIT is not a good dye for hair and feathers. Before someone takes me to task for making the last statement, I am aware that there are many who use dye and that A.K. Best recommends using RIT in his book on dying. And yes, you can use RIT dye and get an acceptable dye job; however, you have to use a lot of RIT dye to get consistency in color (this is because it is a so-called union dye that can be used on proteins and cellulose and polypropolene and nylon and polyester, which means it is composed of several different types of dye). And RIT does not give you the nice bright colors that steelhead and salmon fly tyers are looking for.
Another reason many folks think dying is difficult and hard to reproduce the color is because they have used Veniard's dye (yes, I know that A.K. Best talks about using it in his dying book) and with very few exceptions (hot orange, kingfisher blue, scarlet, lemon yellow) all Veniard's dyes are mixtures of dyes of different colors. This causes problems with color consistency because there will be differing amounts of the various colors of dye any time you measure out some dye for use. And you cannot overcome this problem with shaking because some of the dye colors have different specific gravities that cause them to sink to the bottom of the container when shaken. Veniard's also combines acid dyes of different types to create some of their colors, and these different types have different melecular structure (some some, some medium, some large) that enter the material you are dying at differing rates, and this can and does cause uneven color saturation, streaking, and blotchiness.
I appeciate the help. I will try it on the ones that I have. I understand the difficulty of trying to get the right shade. When I was flying RC airplanes I used to dye the canopies all the time. I used Rit dye to do them, but the Rit dye didnt do anything to the calf tail I tried.
Thanks again
orange buck tail
I have another thought about a way to get the color you want. I noticed that
anglers work shop sell them for 3.25. You
could call and arrange to send them a sample of the color you want (say a hackle feather to match) and if they can
supply the color you want , go a head and buy it. You could try any of the larger mail order suppliers. One word of caution about dying, It is hard to get the exact color you want or to recreate the same color twice.
On a seperate note, most dyes are toxic. Don't use pots or strainers that you intend to use for food again.
Jacquard dyes are some of the best acid dyes available and ones that I use quite a lot. The Weaving Works also carries Synthapol, which is a cleaner/degreaser/dye suspender that will let you produce nice clean, evenly dyed materials. Depending on the color orange you want, Jacquard has several different shades: Fl. Orange is color # 606, which Jacquard calls Dark Orange. It will five a very nice, bright hot orange color.
Another excellent dye is known as Fly Dye and it is made by Organic Dyestuffs; but it is sold in 1 once containers for fly material dying and uses common fly tying color names for the colors. A quick internet search for Fly Dye will get you theri web site.
When dying, use about a 1/8 teaspoon of dye to a quart to a quart and a half of water that is not quite boiling and make sure you use a stainless steel bowl, pan or pot to prevent the dye from reacting with the dye pot, which would change the color or create blotchiness. Add the dye to the water then put some Syntrapol (about a 1/4 teaspoon) into the dye solution. Lastly, add a cup or so of white vinegar as the acid for setting the dye. Put your tails or whatever hair or feathers you wish to dye in the above described dye bath and let them steep in it for about 15 to 20 minutes to thoroughly dye them. Once they are the color you wish, simply dump the whole thing into an old colundar and rinse with luke warm water.
Dry the tails (or hair or feathers) by laying it out on newspaper overnight or through using a hand-held hair dryer.
My problem is I ordered some, but they are not the right color. The 3 orange calf tails are all a different shade. One lighter than pumkin one about pumpkin and the other is almost a brown. I have several white tails that I accumulated over the years so I thought I would just dye them.
Buy them predyed
At 4.50$ per tail already dyed, I just can't
see dying them. You can by Jacquard
acid dyes at
The Weaving Works
4717 Brooklyn Ave NE
If I remember correctly, they are just under 8$/color
PM flytyer
he will be able to tell you what you need to use.
Dye,,,, for Calf tail. where to buy ?
I need to find a place that sells dye that will dye calf tails. I now have a selection of them that are not quite the color I need. I need orange, red and purple.

Get the most out of your Pottermore at PlayStation Home experience on PlayStation 3 with these useful tips from the team at London Studios.
Pottermore at PlayStation Home lets you step inside locations from the Harry Potter™ stories and explore them in 3D. Soak up the sights and sounds of Diagon Alley™, where witches and wizards go for everything they need, and hop aboard the Hogwarts™ Express for a journey with fellow students.
In between visiting the likes of Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and Eeylops Owl Emporium, try your hand at a series of brand new mini-games! Here are some hints from the makers of Pottermore at PlayStation Home to get you started.
Linking to your Pottermore.com account
Before beginning in Pottermore at PlayStation Home, you'll be given the opportunity to link your online ID with your account on Pottermore.com, the free-to-use website from J.K. Rowling. Simply enter your Pottermore.com username and password using the App on the PlayStation Home Navigator, and you'll unlock additional content and spaces in Pottermore at PlayStation Home.
Once you have progressed past the Sorting Ceremony found in Chapter Seven of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone™ on Pottermore.com and are a member of one of the four Hogwarts houses, you'll find some special items in Pottermore at PlayStation Home that are only accessible to those who have linked their accounts. There will also be additional interactive content and spaces in the future that will only be accessible to those who have linked their Pottermore.com account.
Book Herding
Head down one of the passageways in Diagon Alley and you'll come across the Book Herding mini-game for two to four players to take part in. Crates of enchanted books have spilled out across the square here and it is your job to round up as many of them as you can.
That's easier said than done, for these books are determined to escape your clutches and your rivals will do everything they can to disrupt you. A handy little tip is to save your Dungbombs – which will send the books flapping away – for the really opportune moments. For instance, if someone casts Alohomora to free the books from their cages, a cleverly aimed Dungbomb will scatter the books all over the place. When used at the right time, this can be brilliantly effective.
Pottermore Trading Cards
There are more than 100 Pottermore Trading Cards to be acquired, found and traded throughout Pottermore at PlayStation Home.
Whilst you can search every nook and cranny of Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express or sit down at a trading table to fill up your Pottermore Trading Card album, you can also earn cards by competing in mini-games. Your performances in mini-games such as Book Herding and Wizard's Duel will affect your chances of earning a card, so gathering up the most books in Book Herding nets you a higher chance of a card than finishing fourth.
Wizard's Duel
In the doorway of a Hogwarts Express carriage stands a lookout, keeping an eye open for any teachers or Prefects who might interrupt students secretly practising their duelling skills. Approach him to begin your own Wizard's Duel, in which you and an opponent each attempt to defeat the other with your spells.
Facing an opponent that likes to hide behind things? If you can aim it just right, hitting the lamps above with a spell will briefly disorientate your opponent, giving you the perfect moment to strike.
Pottermore Quiz
Some of the compartments of the Hogwarts Express house a Pottermore Quiz. While the majority of the quiz questions focus on the Harry Potter books, some of the trickier answers can only be found by exploring the wealth of information on Pottermore.com. Head over there now on your PS3 to find out more about the Harry Potter stories.

class="gkFeaturedItemTitle" Sergei Kharitonov Out of Cro Cop Bout at GLORY 17
- Category: Glory
- Published: Thursday, 22 May 2014 12:21
- Written by Dave Walsh
GLORY 17's main event is having a few problems thus far. Originally the plan was for a rematch between Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic and Pat "HD" Barry, but Zack Mwekassa's fists had something to say about that. That left former PRIDE, K-1 and Strikeforce fighter Sergei Kharitonov for Cro Cop. Well, it looks like a finger injury has sidelined Kharitonov for the next few months, leaving Cro Cop again without an opponent.
June 21st is less than a month away now, meaning that GLORY has to scramble to find a new opponent. The rumored list of names right now is Zack Mwekassa, Jarrell Miller, Jerome Le Banner and Jamal Ben Saddik. There was a remote chance of Tim Sylvia, but that is definitely not happening, Ray Sefo and Ernesto Hoost have apparently also offered their services for the Cro Cop lottery as well. Out of all of these options, Mwekassa is probably the one with the most upside for GLORY. Mwekassa made short work of former UFC star Pat Barry earlier this month and will be fresh in the minds of fans, so he'd be a credible threat to Cro Cop. If Mwekassa wins you have a Heavyweight star that you can nurture, if he loses there isn't much for GLORY to lose at this point.Add a comment

An Old Master, Shaken and Stirred
The Daily Pic: Peter Schoolwerth takes classic painting apart
Peter Schoolwerth's Caravaggio riff is in a group show at Miguel Abreu Gallery on New York's Lower East Side. I've never been a fan of Schoolwerth's "straight", licked surrealism, but I'm captivated and convinced by the way this pictures pulls its source apart. Schoolwerth, for once, seems to shake the normal scaffolding of painting. The face rewrites Picasso.

Hi xalidos, well its done using pencils, varying from 3h to 4b. I used a soft tissue for blending on the arms and background, and also used a torillion for the detailing around the face and the deep colours in the folds of his shirt. I aslo used negative drawing, using Blue tack. It took me quite along time, as I wanted to get as much detail as possible.. I have attached the photo I used so you can have a go... alot of time and patience is the key, and break it down into little areas, dont tackle the whole image, you will get lost.. hope that helps..

To say I am overwhelmed is an understatement..... To say I am honored.... Well, words are inadequate to express how much this lovely, kind and helpful purple place has touched me in the time I've been a member.
I was alerted to this before 8am and three hours later my breathing still hasn't returned to normal! I am aware that there are many, MANY ScrapGirls just as deserving as me, so to be noted here is truly special and I'm happy to be representing us all.
Whew.. I still can't believe this is true. Thank you so very, very much.

I've always been interested in crafts and creating (thanks, Mom!). I've dabbled in sewing, quilting, photography, videography, ceramics, crochet, christmas ornaments, beading, jewelry and most recently watercolor painting classes, to name a few! Nine years ago my 9-year-old niece introduced me to paper scrapping when she took a mini-class at school. I subsequently made a Scrapbook for my new baby Goddaughter and then her brother and sister. It was fun, but very time consuming as I tend to work messy -- needing ALL my supplies out where I can see the possibilities…
Two years ago, my Aunt (who happens to be Florida Granny!) told me about something new - digital scrapping! I didn't quite get it, but she showed me what she'd done, explained some basic essentials and said there were various online sites, but "ScrapGIrls" was her favorite. One "search" later I could see why and bought my first collection - "Naturescape", which is still my favorite. I began by making layouts from saved vacation photo-emails and read the newsletter, pored over layouts and explored the Boutique. When I saw a ScrapGirls' class called, "Who I Am, Right Now?" it sounded intriguing so I took a big leap and signed up! Anna and the rest of the class were so kind, encouraging and helpful. I'd never posted or been on the MB, so learned how, but still didn't participate or understand it much…. Until one year ago I saw a thread for an ATC chat. I asked a question, Lei kindly answered, encouraged me to attend and the rest is history! Everyone was eager to help and that October/Fall ATC was my first official posting. I've taken many classes since, but ATC's remain my favorite monthly chat and layout to create.
About me - I like to read, travel and love photography. I'm most happy being outdoors, so many of my layouts are of nature. My favorite place is in front of water - preferably at the NJ shore where I spent summers as a child. I was a Pre-K/K teacher and loved it until illness made it difficult, but have kept learning and teaching through interactions with the many children whose lives I have been a wonderful part of.
Trying to write this piece, I realize it's truly all about connection. Connection with family, friends, colleagues, people I meet daily and yes, even online connections! I never thought it possible, but throughout the time I've been a part of ScrapGirls I've been so very touched by not only the beautiful artwork created, but the connections and friendships that are such a huge part of this kind, purple place. And, as I create layouts, I enjoy the connections digital scrapping makes within myself and am reminded what is important to me. In fact, my pages feel a part of me and when asked my favorite find myself saying, "This one!"… No, maybe THIS one?"… "Oh, but I really love this one!". They all are a wonderful way of expressing and sharing me…
Again, thank you for this honor. I truly am in awe of it all and appreciate it very much!

Press Release: July 2012
A varied programme of exhibitions and thematic displays from the National Gallery of Ireland's collection will feature a more expansive representation of the Gallery's holdings which have not been on public view for some time. The limited exhibition space available to the Gallery over the next two to three years due to the refurbishment of the historic complex at Merrion Square will be an opportunity to open up the permanent collection to a wider audience.
Sean Rainbird, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland says: "the Gallery is committed to making more of its collection accessible to the public at a time when the historic Dargan and Milltown Wings are undergoing refurbishment for the next three years. Displaying a representation of the Gallery's distinctive Irish collection, in addition to new thematic displays around the European collection, will be key in keeping the presentations fresh during this development period, especially for our regular visitors."
A new display devoted to Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957), regarded as one of Ireland's best-loved painters of the twentieth century, is now on view as part of the presentation of Irish paintings in the Millennium Wing. It brings together some 15 of his best-known urban and rural scenes from the 1920s to the 1950s, among them, Draughts (1922), The Liffey Swim (1923), Morning in the City (1937), In Memory of Bouicault and Bianconi (1937), The Singing Horseman (1949), and For the Road (1951). It will be complemented by an exhibition of the artist's 'Punch' cartoons which opens in the Print Gallery on 28 July.
An in-focus show on one of the most successful printmakers and satirists of eighteenth-century England, William Hogarth (1697-1764), will open in the Millennium Wing on 23 July. The exhibition, Real Life? Hogarth's mages of love, death and family, will illustrate the awful realities of life shown in his popular print series on moral subjects, including his set of four 'Cruelty' prints (1751), contrasting with his paintings of ideal family life as shown in The Western Family (c.1738) and The Mackinen Children (1740s).
A depiction of an artist, how they present themselves and how others see them, is explored in the current exhibition, Artists Face to Face, on view in the Beit Wing until 30 September. It brings together over 25 artist's portraits spanning five centuries, featuring Nathaniel Hone, George Barret, Pietro Longhi, William Orpen, Moyra Barry, Leo Whelan, Sean Keating, Nano Reid, Tony O'Malley and Gerard Dillon.
Admission is free to the permanent collection and associated exhibitions.
The National Gallery of Ireland is open 7-days. Entrance is via the Millennium Wing at Clare Street, Dublin 2.

Before I start this blog post, I would like to express that it is not my intention to offend any person or organisation. Please understand that I'm currently very disappointed and in some ways angry because of the story described below.
Operation b54
As most of you have already read in the press, the Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) recently carried out an operation called Operation b54 to shut down Citadel botnet C&C servers. According to Microsoft, they were able to disturb over 1'400 Citadel botnets around the world by seizing more than 4'000 domain names and pointing them to a server operated by Microsoft. Technically, this is what we call "sinkholing".
Sinkholing domain names isn't something new, in fact this technique has been around for ages and was already used by the Conficker Working Group and their operation to hijack the Conflicker botnet. The purpose of a sinkhole is the same for the most part: collecting information about infected computers that are connecting to the sinkhole and report these back to the associated network owner so that the responsible end user can be notified about the infection and remove the malware from their computer.
These days there are many sinkholes around, most of them are operated by security researchers. But there are also many commercial sinkholes out there, that are being used by security service providers to gather information about infected computers and sell that information to their customers. As a security researcher I spend a lot of time in researching botnets in my spare time, and abuse.ch is running such a sinkhole as well (in fact for years). The goal is simple: sinkhole malicious botnet domains (not only limited to any specific Trojan / malware family) and report them to Shadowserver. Shadowserver, a non-profit organisation like abuse.ch, then informs the associated network owners about the infections reported by my sinkhole, in addition to infections reported by their own sinkholes and sinkholes run by other operators. In fact, every Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), Internet Service Provider (ISP) and network owner can get a feed from Shadowserver for their country / network for free. For the time being, Shadowserver notifies more than 1'500 organisations and 60 national CERTs about infected computers within their responsibility.
Today, I've suddenly noticed that several domain names disappeared from my sinkhole. I started to investigate and noticed these are now all pointing to a server in Microsoft's network range (188.8.131.52/24). It was quite obvious to me what had happened. Microsoft seized not only malicious domain names operated by cybercriminals to control computers infected with Citadel, but also Citadel botnet domain names that had already been sinkholed by abuse.ch awhile ago (I want to outline here that my sinkhole is appropriately tagged and clearly shows that it is actually a sinkhole of abuse.ch). I pulled down the list of Citadel domains that Microsoft seized and checked it against my sinkhole's domain list. I was quite surprised about the result: Microsoft seized more than 300 domain names that where sinkholed by abuse.ch. I was not only surprised but also quite disappointed: Microsoft already showed similar behaviour in their operation against ZeuS last year were they seized thousands of ZeuS botnet domains, including several hundred domain names that were already sinkholed by abuse.ch. Due to this, I've set up a (non-public) Sinkhole Registry for LEA and security organisations to avoid similar situations in the future. I had hoped that Microsoft had learned their lesson, but apparently nothing has changed and my efforts didn't change anything.
Since Citadel domain names previously sinkholed by abuse.ch have been grabbed by Microsoft, Shadowserver will not be able to report the IP addresses of infected clients calling home to these domains to the network owners any more.
Today, I've talked to several other sinkhole operators asking them about their experience with Microsoft. All of them confirmed to me that several dozens and for some operators even hundreds of Citadel domain names they had sinkholed have been seized by Microsoft as well. Calculating the numbers together, I can say that nearly 1'000 domain names out of the ~4'000 domain names seized by Microsoft had already been sinkholed by security researchers. In fact these ~1k domain names did no longer present a threat to internet users, but were actually used to help to make the internet a better place.
Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When checking out Microsoft's sinkhole, I noticed that they are actively sending out valid Citadel configuration files to the connecting bots. A sample configuration file served by Microsoft's sinkholes looks like this:
entry "AdvancedConfigs" (backup config files)
This configuration file causes that the blockage of websites of AV vendor gets removed (so the on the infected computer installed AV product can load the most recent definition), but also that the main C&C configuration including the fall-back (backup) C&C domains to get overwritten by servers operated by Microsoft (microsoftinternetsafety.net):
Domain Administrator
Microsoft Corporation
One Microsoft Way
Redmond WA 98052
email@example.com +1.4258828080 Fax: +1.4259367329
Domain Name: microsoftinternetsafety.net
Registrar Name: Markmonitor.com
Registrar Whois: whois.markmonitor.com
Registrar Homepage: http://www.markmonitor.com
Due to this, Microsoft ensures that once a bot connects to their sinkhole it stays there and won't try to reach out to a different C&C. In theory, this is a very good idea and I have to say that many sinkhole operators had the same thought years ago. But unlike Microsoft, most of the sinkhole operators came to a different conclusion: Sending out valid configuration files de facto changes settings of a computer without the consent or knowledge of the user (computer owner). In most countries, this is violating local law.
A very important point which Microsoft either didn't take into account or chose to ignore, are potential countermeasures by the criminals. Let me try to make two examples:
From ZeuS-Licat (aka Murofet) to P2P ZeuS (aka ZeuSv3 aka Gameover ZeuS)
In 2011 ZeuS-Licat (also known as Murofet), a derivative of ZeuS, was using a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) which an infected computer (bot) used to "calculate" the current C&C domain. There were a lot of effort by security researchers and information security organisations to shutdown the daily C&C domains immediately after they became active. Every domain name was listed on ZeuS Tracker as soon it went active. Obviously, this effort popped up on the criminals radar quite fast. It didn't take long for the criminals to roll out a new version of ZeuS-Licat – P2P ZeuS was born. P2P ZeuS is no longer using a central C&C infrastructure that could be sinkholed or take down, rather than using a sophisticated P2P technique to receive commands from the botnet herder and send stolen data to the criminals. Since the source and destination ports used by P2P ZeuS are randomized, its hard to detect such traffic in an ISPs network environment, and even harder to actually block it. A network owner needs an IPS/IDS or a deep packet inspection (DPI) system to detect or block such P2P ZeuS activities.
Torpig – RSA signed C&C communication
Torpig is a highly sophisticated e-banking Trojan that has been around for years. There are various organisations out there doing sinkhole operations on the Torpig botnet. A while ago, one of these operators started to send out valid configuration files to the connecting bots which caused that the bots stay on that specific sinkhole. This is in fact exactly what Microsoft is doing at the moment for Citadel. Of course, it was quite obvious that the criminals would implement countermeasures soon. It didn't take long for the Torpig gang to roll out a new version of their Trojan that implemented an RSA signed C&C communication. While sinkholing is still possible, it is no longer possible to send a valid response back to the infected computer (bot) unless you know the private RSA key (which is only known to the Torpig gang).
It is common that such takedowns trigger countermeasures by the cybercriminals. Imagine: If someone breaks into houses with a baseball bat and you seizing his bat, what will that person likely do next? If he wants to continue, he will just buy a new baseball bat – or maybe he will even buy a gun next time, to make it harder to take him down. When you apply this to the Citadel case it's obvious that the criminals using Citadel won't stop doing cybercrime. It may even have the bad effect of criminals updating their software to prevent that such takedowns are possible in the future again (eg. by implementing P2P techniques like ZeuS-Licat or RSA signed C&C communication for Torpig). The problem with cybercrime is that it can't be solved with doing takedowns. It's only possible to solve this issue by implementing legislation related to cybercrime, enforce them by getting bad actors arrested and implementing security by design on different layers (operating system, network layer etc.).
As outlined before, Shadowserver will no longer be able to inform network owners about several thousand Citadel infected computers because the Citadel domain names sinkholed by abuse.ch has been seized by Microsoft.
According to Microsoft, their goal was to disturb Citadel botnet operations. In my opinion their operation didn't have any big noteworthy impact on Citadel, rather than disturbing research projects of several security researchers and non-profit organisations, including abuse.ch. In my opinion, operation b54 was nothing more than a PR campaign by Microsoft.

Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend marks the official beginning of summer activities. And in Kansas City, one of the best ways to observe it will be coming up this Sunday night. That's the annual Bank of America's Celebration At the Station, featuring the Kansas City Symphony. It's a free event at Union Station, complete with fireworks to cap off the evening… but if you can't get down there, you can watch it live right here on KCPT.
Every year, the orchestra plays a mix of patriotic favorites and music that Music Director Michael Stern thinks will be fitting for the occasion. They've had some great guest artists in recent times, like Mark O'Connor and Bobby Watson. This year, Kansas City's own Oleta Adams will be featured with the band. The great Kansas City singer stopped by to give us an update on her musical journeys, and a preview of what's in store on Sunday's show.

At around 9:20, a half hour before the class's scheduled 9:50 end time, Sheriff Kevin C. Larkin, dressed in a trenchcoat, opened the door to Prof. Glass's classroom. According to one student attending the class that night, Max Grindlinger, "[Larkin] said, 'Michael, can I see you for a minute?"
According to Buckley, Grindlinger and another student, Diane Walker, Sheriff Larkin and Prof. Glass had a roughly three-minute conversation outside of MS 205. No one overheard the conversation. The two then reentered the classroom, Prof. Glass introduced Sheriff Larkin and apologized for "making disparaging comments" about the Sheriff.
"[He] gives an apology while Sheriff Larkin is standing no less than six inches from him," said Grindlinger.
Both Buckley and Grindlinger report Sheriff Larkin as saying, "This isn't over," on his way out of the classroom. According to Buckley, Larkin's aide, who was waiting outside the classroom, said as the classroom door was closing, "You're a terrible teacher, you should get your facts from a book."
I know what I can say: this is fantastic journalistic writing from a student reporter, for a community college paper. Somebody needs to option this kid's first job now; Dmitry Gurvits should be headed straight for the shattered ruins of print journalism – maybe he can make it better with more stories like this one.

James Jones makes the most of big opportunity
GREEN BAY, Wis. - James Jones will represent Green Bay's offense as a captain this week. Technically, he is not even a starter.
But Jones led the entire NFL this season with 14 touchdown catches, which doubled his scoring production from the year before.
"Just trying to make the most of your chances," Jones said. "You catch the ball on the 10-yard line and you kind of smell the end zone. I just try to get it in, been blessed to break a couple of tackles and make some plays and get them into the end zone."
Jones has made the most of his opportunities in the red zone, just like he's made the most of his opportunity getting more playing time with Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson each missing multiple games with injuries.
"He's obviously been given a lot more opportunities this year and I just love it when a player is given that chance and they step up. This is obviously James' best year," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said.
"Whether you catch a 5-yard pass or a 50-yard pass, when you get it into your hands you just want to make a play," Jones said.
The Packers' wide receiver position is almost completely healthy now. Jordy Nelson has played the past two games, but is still dealing with a lingering ankle injury that forced him out of Saturday's win against Minnesota.
"We'll be good to go come Saturday," Nelson said. "We'll do stuff before the game just to make sure I'm ready to roll."
Nelson was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

This is the setup
8 month old
Using SmartWorks Program.
CC to fetch
Just got through walking fetch & fetch no fetch
Now working on Mini Pile.
I am concerned about the lack of drive during this pile work. He runs at about 50%-60%. It seems to me like it is a lack of confidence. In the 3 bumper mini pile as used in Smartworks, the first cast he gives 100% to the bumper 5 or 6 feet away but as the distance increases bumper two 10 feet bumper three 15-20 feet he steadily decreases the amount of drive.
So what are some techniques for increasing drive during pile work and blinds? Fetch-Nick-Fetch???????????????

Marcia Craner appointed vice president for external affairs at Binghamton University
Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur has announced that Marcia R. Craner, senior associate vice president for alumni and development and executive director of the Binghamton University Foundation, has been appointed vice president for external affairs. Craner will assume her new duties at Binghamton July 3.
"Marcia Craner has a depth of knowledge and experience at Binghamton that has helped shape our highly successful development efforts and will continue to do so as we move ahead with our second comprehensive gifts campaign," said DeFleur. "The strength of the relationships she has built and her passion for Binghamton University have brought us success. We're pleased that Marcia will assume an even greater leadership role in both development and communications to help us achieve the goals established in our strategic plan to garner additional private support and visibility on the national level."
Craner has been with Binghamton University for 23 years, initially as director of alumni and parent relations. After assuming interim responsibilities as executive director of the Binghamton University Foundation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, she became associate vice president for alumni and development and executive director of the Foundation in 1991. Her responsibilities expanded in 2003 when she became senior associate vice president of alumni and development, retaining her position as executive director of the Foundation. In her current role, Craner works with senior leadership on prospect strategies, gift planning and positioning the University for its second comprehensive gifts campaign.
"I'm thrilled to assume the role of vice president at an institution I care deeply about," said Craner. "During my time at Binghamton, I've achieved personal and professional goals by taking risks and accepting new challenges. As we embark on a second comprehensive gifts campaign for Binghamton, I'm confident that we will be successful at achieving our fundraising goals and the aspirations laid out in our strategic plan."
Prior to coming to Binghamton, Craner served as director of alumni affairs and assistant director of communications and development for the State University of New York at Geneseo. She earned a bachelor of arts in art history and communications from Geneseo and a master of arts in social science from Binghamton. Craner is also a graduate of the Kellogg Center for Leadership Program at Binghamton and the Harvard University Executive Leadership Program. She is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) as designated by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Craner replaces Thomas F. Kelly, who is retiring from the vice president post.

I got some stuff from the Fan Club a while back...some posters, a calender, and there was some kind of partial animation cel in the envelope. Anybody receive something like this? It was just a partial drawing of what appeared to be a "dinosaur-looking" mouth or something in pencil, with an overlapping plastic sheet with a partially painted picture on it. It had some Japanese writing on it. It just so happens my wife is Japanese, and said it translates to say "fish". I'll scan it and post it up within the next day or so.
Any thoughts??????

And I've seen the size of your Texas hopper - it's huge!! Surely a few dozen of those would be a complete meal!! So much crunchy goodness . . .
Never say never . . . never say always . . . know when to say when.
Yes!!!! There every where and taking out all the yard plants with them. My pup pounces on them then torchers them by flinging them around for awhile, then finishes them off. Good entertainment at night drinking a cold one on the poarch.
Ha! I went with a friend to another freinds to pick out a pup and you needed glasses to get through the hoppers.
He said the pup threw up twice on the way home and it was all grass hoppers. So I dont know, maybe a thousand?
I cant wait to see what happens when one of mine catches that Lizzard she been hunting for a year or more
With our recent move further into the country my lab has become a grasshopper killing machine.... drives me crazy but I just laugh!

Not many grasshoppers here but earlier this summer we had the plague of the 17 yr. cicadas (Ugggggh!) They were everywhere, thick layers of them under trees, etc. and the dogs chowed down like they were the finest kibble. Not even going to try to describe cicada gas.... Several of the greediest got chubby on all the snacking. I even asked my vet if eating so many would be harmful and he said no since insects are largely protein. May be TMI but their poop looked like mostly shiny insect legs....nasty!

Yamaha CS01
The CS01 is a very old but classic analog monosynth from Yamaha. Although originally designed for use by novice musicians or first time synth-buyers, the CS01 has been recognized by today's electronic musicians as one fat little bass machine with simple controls. In a nutshell, the CS01 is simple to use and edit but still has some great features for any situation. It's tiny and portable, it has baby-sized keys and it can run on batteries, and there is a built-in amplifier and speaker which is quite fun.
As for sounds and synthesizing, the CS01 is the perfect monosynth for bubbly and growling bass! It features a very nice 12dB resonant voltage-controlled filter. In addition to the oscillators' sine and square type waveforms there is PWM and noise. There are also LFO controls, glissando (like portamento), a typical ADSR envelope generator, pitch & mod wheels and even a breath controller input. A CS01 mkII (pictured below) was later released by Yamaha soon after the original. It featured an improved 24dB resonant VCF (filter) with adjustable slider control over resonance instead of switchable on/off resonance as found on the original. The CS01 mkII is also identifiable by its black case with green letters.
Yamaha CS01 II
The CS01 may look simple or toy-like but it is still able to create cool little analog bass blips, bass lines and bass bubbles that are just perfect for today's electronic musicians. It has been used by the Dust Brothers, Underworld, OMD, Richard Barbieri and Chick Corea.

Bookkeeper who stole $53M gets nearly 20 years
Woman horse-breeding operation in Beloit
ROCKFORD, Ill. - A judge has sentenced a small Illinois city's former bookkeeper to nearly 20 years in prison for embezzling more than $53 million over more than two decades.
U.S. District Judge Philip Reinhard in Rockford sentenced 60-year-old Rita Crundwell on Thursday after witnesses testified about the hardship her massive theft had caused the city of Dixon.
The former Dixon comptroller pleaded guilty to wire fraud in November and admitted to embezzling city funds from 1991 until her 2012 arrest.
Crundwell used the stolen money to establish a nationally renowned horse-breeding operation in Beloit and to live lavishly.
Outside the federal court on Thursday, Dixon residents said they are trying to move on and finally close a dark chapter in their city's history.
"She barely apologized. I don't think anything would change this," said Bev Eykamp, a Dixon resident.
"I think the citizens deserve more answers," said Dixon resident Josie Whaley. "Where's the rest of the money? Did she spend it all in that lavish lifestyle?"
Dixon Mayor Jim Burke testified that Crundwell's massive theft caused great hardship in the city, but he said the city will move on.18556294
"The amount of money she was taking and now that we've got the holes in the dike all plugged up, we're going to recover pretty fast," Burke said.
Prosecutors said the theft ranks among the worst abuses of public trust in the corruption-rich history of Illinois.
"You can trust but you have to verify, and I think that's the lesson for municipalities and governments -- that you can place trust in individuals but there also needs to be verification," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Pedersen.
Crundwell still faces 60 separate but related state felony theft charges to which she's pleaded not guilty.

Thanks Everyone for your suggestions!! Im going to check out the different programs and stick to one.
Here's another question! I have heard from different things from different people as far as how often to work with your dog. some say once in the morning once at night for no longer than 15-20 minutes, and some say only a few times a week because you can over work your dog and may cause them to lose desire. Any opinions??
And in reply to Shawn White, I agree that it is a good thing, its just that when she needs to come back I don't want her playing in the water.
