Trails End Editions
I have been a painter and mixed media artist for over 25 years. I received my MFA from UC, Boulder. Since 1983 I have taught college art classes in painting, drawing and design and chaired two art departments. Presently, I am teaching at Arapahoe Community College and I also offer international workshops.
My work is represented by Goodwin Fine Art in Denver where I just opened a solo show 'Water Nymphs' Oct 12-Nov.10th, 2012. The paintings are images of water and figures interacting. They are contemplative and sometimes playful.
I am available to design and teach a myriad of courses in painting, drawing and design. I am also available for art commissions. My website is lindalowry.net and one can see several different bodies of work there. My mixed media work is not currently on the website. I welcome adding addresses to my mailing list for future exhibitions.
Thank you:

National Museums » Home » News » Folk Park celebrates American Independence with a bang
The Ulster American Folk Park, Omagh, will mark American Independence Day this year with a major three day festival.
From Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th July the award-winning museum will provide an exhilarating programme of activities for all ages. Thrilling re-enactments from the period of the Anglo-American War, (1812-1815) will take place in the New World area, featuring British Redcoats and American Militia sharpshooters.
Visitors can experience all things Americana from the 18th to 20th centuries as they stroll around the soldier encampments and meet the Woodland Indians in their wigwams.
There's something for everyone at this year's festival with live performances of Bluegrass and Cajun music, traditional craft demonstrations and American style games. Younger visitors will also be entertained with Punch and Judy Shows.
Peter Kelly, Head of Operations at the Ulster American Folk Park said, "The Folk Park's spectacular Independence Day celebrations will bring an important time in American history to life. Not only can visitors watch the soldiers as they battle during the skirmishes but they can also meet them in their encampments making this a truly interactive experience."
Also included as part of the weekend celebrations will be a special evening concert and BBQ on 4th July with headline act L'Angelus direct from Louisiana, USA, performing the best of Cajun fiddle tunes and New Orleans influenced rhythm and blues. Joined by the ever-popular local Knotty Pine String Band, the evening promises to be a wonderful way to mark the 4th July.
The American Independence Day Celebrations will run from 10am to 5pm each day. The evening concert on 4th July kicks off at 8pm.

Iberia's New Lie-Flat Seats May Actually Be 'Muy Bueno'
If it seems like we are spreading the news of some flashy new business class seat every few weeks, you are probably right. It's all the fault of the airlines, as a huge number have taken the recent years to update their cabin offerings to lure passengers away from competitors. Now, the torch is passed to Iberia with their announcement of new lie-flat seats in the long-haul swanky cabins.
The Spanish flag carrier's aim is to sit their elite flyers down in a more comfy seat for folks winging their way to/from Spain on their widebody Airbus jets, starting this month with the A330s and eventually moving onto the A340s later in the year. And the love isn't limited to business class; economy class is getting an overhaul as well, just not lie-flat hotness.

Lost Luggage? Ask Nicely for a Toiletry Kit
Luggage gets lost. Sometimes even our luggage gets lost. Most of the time it's no big deal since we planned accordingly and packed the essentials in a carry on and have what we need until the airline get their act together and delivers the bag. No big deal, right? Not all the time. In particular the time we put all our money on one color and let it roll on Iberia from Madrid to Mallorca.
It was a normal one-way flight to the Balearic Island. After what seemed like an uneventful check-in and after closer inspection we were given the wrong boarding passes. Inquiring about the confusion, collecting correct passes and a confirmation that the luggage will be loaded, we headed off to the lounge. In a surprise twist, our luggage was not on the belt in Palma.

Duty-Free Shopping Must-Haves: Souvenirs and Keepsakes
If you're anything like us, you probably think that the in-flight duty-free shopping catalog can eat up a good chunk of time on long-haul international flights and provide a few giggles or unique gift ideas. This week, we'll dive into the pages of some favorite airline shopping magazines and highlight our picks for the just-can't-live-without items.
When browsing an in-flight shopping magazine and flipping past all of the pages of meh watches and perfumes, you may be missing plenty of amazing finds that make for great souvenirs (if only to show that you were actually thinking of your friends and family while away). Many catalogs actually have some items that rival what can be found in typical tourist shops, so let's explore a few:

Check Out This Iberia Boeing 747 from the 1970s
Let me take a moment this fine summer Friday to tell you a quick story.
My parents are still alive and kickin' (and traveling, and retired). They take a short cruise here, a short cruise there, and occasionally a package deal to the Caribbean if they're feeling particularly ambitious. This wasn't always the way, especially when it comes to my mom.
She was an executive secretary when having that title made her the coolest lady in the office cafeteria. She sewed her own pantsuits and coordinated jewelry. AND she took killer vacations for a young, single, professional woman from the Midwest. We're talking Hawaii. Curacao. The Bahamas. Haiti. Venezuela. Germany/Austria. Then, in 1973, she flew on Iberia for a trip to Spain and Morocco, and had her first experience in a Boeing 747.

Bye-Bye BMI Baby
We all know that bmi ownership has changed hands from Lufthansa to IAG, the parent company to British Aiways and Iberia. When the merger is complete, bmi will be no more, a casualty in the battle that is the European aviation industry. But first, we bid a fond adieu to bmi's low-cost little brother, bmi baby.
With all the necessary signatures put to paper, IAG is starting to figure out the best way to combine operations and surge to airline dominance. The baby painted planes are the first ones to get the axe and it's all happening very quickly.

Iberia Express Starts Selling Cheap Tickets for a Cheaper Spanish Vacation
It�s time for a new spinoff low cost carrier, as the suits and bean counters over at Iberia thought it was a great idea to start another airline with a brand new name. Iberia Express is scheduled to start selling tickets as soon as March 28�at least per their website�and after that it�ll be all low fares all the time. At least that�s what we�re hoping for!
The plan for Iberia Express is to connect cities in Spain with spots tourists and locals that want to visit. Initial destinations include spots like Madrid along with some of the country�s more famous island destinations�think Ibiza, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura. Initially the new airline will just be doing its thing with a fleet of four Airbus A320s, so it�ll be quite some time before they�re flying to more cities and destinations. However, it does sound like there are some long term plans for Iberia Express, so hopefully there will be plenty of expansion and growth if everything goes as planned.

Know Your American Airlines Lounges at Miami International Airport
In our frequent travels through Miami International Airport, we've only been to the American Airlines Admirals Club on a handful of occasions. But what we have learned is that all Admirals Clubs are not created equal.
When you have a choice between three loungesas you do at MIA if you're flying Americanyou may just opt for the one closest to your gate. But, not so fast! There are pros and cons to these lounges: size, crowd, amenities, etc.
To help you navigate the sprawling land of AA at MIA, here's a little breakdown of what you'll find at each AA clubhouse:

Now is the Time to Spontaneously Book Some Trips
Something's going on. There have been far too many cheap cheap airfares lately from the USA to Europe for travel through May on Iberia and it's starting to make us think twice. Here's a perfect example: the $250 Milan flights and $290 Paris flights, whichyes, we bookedbut still haven't really gone away. Is Iberia crazy or just awesome?
To be fair, we're flying American Airlines direct flights with their deals via the Iberia website, but you won't find the ridiculously low rates on American's site, nosireebob. Still, it is the low season in Europe and airfares are supposed to get cheap this time of the year, but then these popped up: $689 to South Africa and $478 to Istanbul. What does Iberia know that we don't?
We suppose we'll find out when we fly our $250 Europe roundtrip later this month. Until then, score yourself some equally impressive deals by searching Iberia.com directly, and keeping your dates flexible.

Cheap Round-trip Flight Alert! Paris for $290 and Milan for $250, Total
Ever since we scored that $680 direct roundtrip to Tokyo, we've been wholeheartedly in favor of jumping on those ridiculously low airfare deals, when they chance to appear. Now is that time; brace yourselves. Yesterday evening, we saw AirfareWatchdog announce flights to Paris, Milan and Brussels all under $300 total, round-trip from New York. These prices are still available, as we've checked just this morning.
The only catch is that travel for these sale fares is only between January and March, 2011 and you'll be booking on the Iberia site and most likely traveling on their Oneworld partner, American Airlines.
Many dates for a $292 trip to Paris are still open; examples we found are January 20-26, February 17-21 (go for the weekend!) and March 8-14. We scored the Milan flights ourselves, seeing as how they were $250 and we're dreaming of an Italian ski weekend in January.

Five More Awesome, Retro-Painted Airplanes
Hmm...why does that airplane look different from all the others?
If you're lucky, sometime during your travels you'll be saying or thinking that very thing, because you've happened to spot a jet done up in retro livery. Every so often, an airline celebrates a special occasion like an anniversary by giving one of their planes a throwback paintjob. We've already shown you 5 awesome retro plane paintjobs, but we think they're pretty great, so here's five more:
US Airways' Airbus A319 in PSA colors (above) does indeed have a smile painted on, and doesn't it look like the cheeriest little plane ever? The retro livery was applied in 2006 to honor the memory of the old Pacific Southwest Airlines, one of the airlines absorbed into US Airways in the past. There are two other US Airways planes flying around in retro liveries of other US Airways constituent airlines as well: Piedmont and Allegheny. [Flickr/JeffreyPutman]

British Airways, American and Iberia Pile on the New Routes
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· American Airlines:
Teaming up with its buddies in the oneworld alliance this week, American Airlines announced a couple new options for escaping from the United States in search of fun overseas. The first is JFK to Budapest, and this new option will begin to fly next April along with the help of some Boeing 767s. The other is from Chicago to Helsinki which will also start next spring. Prices haven�t been announced for these new routes yet, but don�t expect any crazy deals anytime soon.
· British Airways:
Not to be outdone by American Airlines, British Airways also got into the new route announcement fun this week. The carrier will start new nonstop service between San Diego and London-Heathrow beginning next April. The airline already offers nonstop service between London and Los Angeles, so now Brits on holiday are free to fly into LA and fly out of San Diego after visiting Disneyland, Legoland, and SeaWorld.

British Airways Prepares for American with New Rewards and Upgraded Lounges
We always get suspicious when airlines start talking about giving customers "more control" and "more choice," since that usually means downgrading reward tiers and charging for things that used to come for free. Getting to choose whether to have food on a long flight or pay for checked baggage has never left us feeling particularly empowered. Nowadays pretty much any airline policy change is enough to get us nervous, and that's particularly true whenever they start to tinker with loyalty programs and elite status.
So naturally we've been anticipating with dread the details of how the American Airlines/British Airways/Iberia merger will affect their frequent flyer programs. So far so good, with the announcement coming out over the weekend that BA is increasing the miles that you get for Discount Economy tickets, from 25% to 100%. BA miles are also now good for AA upgrades, and vice versa. And the airline is even promising to upgrade some of their Executive Lounges.

Calamut Lake Trail
Just about anything you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own personal Trip Planner. Find out how.
The Calamut Lake Trail slowly climbs through a mixed stand of lodgepole pine, mountain hemlock, and true fir. Lake Charline is located midway along the route. As the trail emerges on the south end of Calamut Lake it joins with a footpath around the lake. All three lakes provide excellent breeding grounds for mosquitoes. During very early spring, just after ice-out or late summer-early fall are the best times to visit. Campsites are offered at Lake Linda and Calamut Lake. Lake Linda is located at the trailhead.
Directions: From Prospect: Travel northeast on Highway 230 to its junction with Highway 138. Continue on 138 and turn north onto Road 60, the Windigo Pass Road. Proceed 6.5 miles and turn left onto Road 6000-700, the Kelsay-Calamut Loop Road. Proceed another two miles to Road 6000-740 and turn right. The trailhead is at the end of this road in 0.3 miles.

In Every Issue
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Reduce the risks of international work and travel…with Term Life Insurance available to VISA cardholders*
As many traditional life insurance policies exclude coverage for acts of war, terrorism, political violence, charter flights and impose geographic limitations, they are often inadequate for many UNFCU members and the risks they face. This new term life insurance program covers many of these exclusions as well as conventional risks worldwide.1
Designed with your convenience in mind, this new program does not require lengthy applications or medical tests and provides global protection for a low monthly premium.
Provide your family financial security for years to come!
Enroll today and receive 60 days complimentary coverage.1
*This life insurance program is made available to you by Clements Worldwide and certain Underwriters at Lloyd's of London. This term life insurance is only available to active UNFCU credit cardholders in good standing. Enrollment is only open to UNFCU VISA cardholders between the ages of 18-65 who are in good standing; however, enrolled members may maintain their coverage until age 70. Policy will expire upon insured's 71st birthday. Upgrading to a VISA Elite credit card will depend on your credit worthiness. A minimum gross household income of USD 75,000 is required to qualify for an Elite credit card.
1 UNFCU credit cardholders must enroll in the program. The 60 days complimentary period is only available to members who enroll in the card-based life program. Automated credit card billing will commence after the 61st day. A UNFCU VISA credit card will be required for payment. Payments will be automatically deducted from your UNFCU credit card every month. To cancel payments, members will need to contact Clements Worldwide at 1 800-872-0067 (toll-free US and Canada) or +1 202-741-1512. The program provides full benefits for accidental causes of death from the date of enrollment. After enrollment in the program, there is a six month waiting period for coverage to begin for death caused by illness. If a claim due to illness arises within the 6-month waiting period, premiums will be refunded. After the 6 month waiting period, death as a result of illness will be covered.

TechCrunch 'Women in Tech' Panel Devolves Into Massive Fight {Lemondrop}
Sep 30th 2010 8:02AM Kudos to TechCrunch for pulling a classic bigot move: include the minority, set that person -- in this case, a panel -- up to fail, then when it does say, "SEE? It's not ME (or the industry), It's THEM." Stay classy Mark Arrington.
It was amazingly clear that Arrington and TechCrunch didn't care about the issue before. But the goal of this panel was mockery. Period.
Compartmentalize, or you'll get 20 lashes! (unless you're into that sort of thing) {Download Squad}
Mar 3rd 2008 10:32AM Eh, I agree that naked pictures aren't "professional." But then my definition of professional means 'a straight-laced, line toe-er, who stifles emotions, and wears uncomfortable clothes for 8 hours a day.'
So maybe this isn't about 'professionalism' per se, but more about this crazy notion that 'sex(y)' and 'smart' or 'capable' can't exist in the same person.
It doesn't mean that sex is an unworthy topic that can't and shouldn't be discussed intelligently. But it does mean that most people (*raising hand*) still feel varying degrees of discomfort about sex(ual discussions) in public.
The Big Snapple {AdJab}
Aug 23rd 2006 12:21PM "Why would I go to the Snapple Lady to find the best New York stuff?"
erm, because she's *is* a local (well, relatively speaking. she's from long island, just across the border from queens).
this is very smart. first of all, snapple is a new york product. it's been available there for 20+ years (and oh how i miss their tru root beer) before they went national.
wendy is also pretty recognizable to most of america. getting directions from her connects people to the brand and its history. and they get something in return: a local's guide to new york, and probably a free snapple.
Ad critic: Sony's racially charged PSP ad [update 1] {Joystiq}
Jul 6th 2006 10:25AM bullsh*t to anyone who thinks this isn't racist, or at least racially motivated. it was designed to provoke a visceral reaction. those women were carefully chosen for their contrasts.
it would be quite easy to have created a similar ad minus the deliberate attempts to provoke such a reaction: have the same woman do battle with herself dressed in a white outfit and a black outfit. in fact, i'd argue that's a better ad because how different is the white PSP from the black one, really?
Jay-Z Leads Cristal Boycott {Luxist}
Jun 15th 2006 5:01PM Hmmm, Rousaud is mad about being associated with a self-proclaimed hustler/drug-dealer who plead guilty to stabbing someone, a faux-thug who cracked a champagne bottle over someone's head and was tangentially involved in a club shoot-out, and a no-talent midget who frequents Atlanta strip clubs.
Sounds justified to me. Anti-trash. Anti-hip-hop. But not anti black. I doubt Cristal would have a problem with Oprah, Kenneth Chenault, Bob Johnson or Wynton Marsalis drinking their bub.
I love Jay-Z, but he's being an effin knucklehead on this. Shoot, I wouldn't want them uncouth bastids drinking my sh*t either.
NBA trying to attract female fans {AdJab}
Jun 9th 2006 4:04PM I think the licensed merchandise is a great idea... something I've wished for since junior high.
But I think the NBA is slightly misguided in its approach. If they want to attract women, do what they're doing with the WNBA: use sex appeal.
I have never, ever, *EVER* in life met a (heterosexual) female sports fan who didn't check out the players. And that's whether she's a stat-spewing, beer-drinking type or one who just watches the championships.
Form fields: to customize or not? {CSS Insider}
May 24th 2006 8:54AM I disagree with Dimon -- though slightly. I think that customizing form fields can *increase* usability in some cases.
I'm not sure if Dimon is referring to this example, but changing the focus color of a form field, particularly for users who navigate using the keyboard is a smart, unobtrusive customization, IMO.
Curved edges of a form field? Perhaps less so.

"For me, [the best thing about the educational events] is always the connection with the community."
Finding a spiritual director is a very personal and spiritual quest. We suggest that a person seeking a spiritual guide contact at least two spiritual directors to interview, if appropriate. Here are some ways to find spiritual directors to interview.
Ways to Find Spiritual Directors to Interview:
Search the Seek and Find Guide
Call area theology schools, institutes, and retreat centers to ask if they have a list of spiritual directors.
Ask an ordained rabbi, minister, or vowed religious for names of spiritual directors they recommend.
Seek and Find Guide
Before accessing the Seek and Find Guide: A Worldwide Resource of Available Spiritual Directors, you must read and fully accept the following Disclaimer and Terms of Use Agreement:
Discernment Questions
Here are a few questions that you might consider asking yourself before seeking spiritual directors to interview:
1. What is your experience with working with a spiritual director?
2. What brings you to spiritual direction at this time in your life?
3. Would you like to meet with a male or female?
4. What spiritual affiliation or denomination would be most helpful for you?
5. What time of day would best serve you for meetings?
Here are some questions that SDI recommends you ask each person you choose to interview as you seek a spiritual director:
1. What enrichment, spiritual formation, and theological education do you have in spiritual direction?
2. What is your personal experience tending your own prayer, meditation, and contemplative life?
3. What is your experience as a spiritual director? How many years? In what environments? What are you most interested in spiritually?
4. How do you continue your education and supervision for your spiritual direction ministry?
5. What ethical guidelines do you abide by, such as those published by Spiritual Directors International? Have you ever been accused or convicted of misconduct?
6. What type of engagement agreement will we establish to clarify roles and responsibilities in our spiritual direction relationship, such as samples provided to members of Spiritual Directors International?
The desire and search for the "right fit" is an important part of the process.
Spiritual Directors International publishes Guidelines for Ethical Conduct (in English and Spanish), which provides a framework for a healthy spiritual direction relationship.
Remember, it is up to you to choose your spiritual director wisely. Let them know what draws you to spiritual direction in this time in your life and notice how comfortable it is for you to tell your faith story. Listen carefully for the way the spirit is guiding you in your selection process.
Each person seeking a spiritual director needs to take reasonable steps to verify the competency of any potential spiritual director. As a ministry in many nations and many faiths, spiritual direction does not have a centralized certifying body that verifies qualifications of spiritual directors since each faith tradition handles spiritual directors differently.
Spiritual Directors International does not endorse or recommend particular spiritual directors. We are not a certifying body, but rather a global learning community that supports spiritual directors in their ministry with educational programs, publications, and contemplative practices.
"For me, [the best thing about the educational events] is always the connection with the community."

Everyone is familiar with Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill, who star in the "The Watch," a new sci-fi comedy opening Friday. But American audiences are going to be intrigued by the fourth - and perhaps funniest - member of the film's quartet.
Richard Ayoade is a 6-foot-2 Brit, a bit geeky looking with heavy-framed glasses and curly black hair, a slight gap in his front teeth.
Ethnically ambiguous - his mother is Norwegian, his dad Nigerian - he didn't get involved in the business of being funny until he went to Cambridge and became president of the Footlights, the famed university's comedy troupe. ("The Daily Show's" John Oliver was vice president.)
At Cambridge he studied law, which seems a circuitous
"I liked Perry Mason a lot," Ayoade says in a delivery so deadpan you're not sure if he is kidding. "I think it happens a lot that children of first-generation immigrants tend to gravitate to respectable or safe professions rather than ones that are more indulgent, as my parents would have seen it."
You almost get the feeling he thinks comedy was a weird choice.
"It's not the thing you try to be," he says. "I think something's gone wrong if you're a comedian."
Ayoade gained fame in England in 2006 on the TV comedy "The IT Crowd" where he played the lovable nerd Maurice Moss. Along the way he directed music videos for rock bands like Arctic Monkeys and Vampire Weekend.
In 2010, he released his debut directorial feature, "Submarine," a small, likable coming-of-age dramedy which garnered positive reviews.
Currently, Ayoade is finishing up directing "The Double," based on the Dostoevsky novella, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska.
"The book is funny, I think in a kind of satirical way," he says, which is perhaps a stretch. "I think the idea that someone would show up in your office and be identical to you and no one notices or cares is certainly a
Ayoade seems a bit ill at ease doing the interview. It's not that he's been anything but pleasant; it's just that he's so low-key.
"Am I not coming across as a man of great relaxation and erudition?" he asks.
"I'm much more comfortable in life. I'm much more relaxed and an easygoing sort," he says, explaining that he's anxious to get back to London to see his wife and 2 1/2-year-old daughter.
In "The Watch," Ayoade plays Jamarcus, a Brit who joins a neighborhood watch group in a small Ohio town led by Stiller's character, Evan. Formed after a violent crime, the motley crew soon find themselves not going after criminals but extraterrestrials.
Ayoade says he liked the cast and script of "The Watch," and that doing a Hollywood film wasn't "part of any particular plan.
"I didn't think it would be something that I'd get asked to do very often," he says.
Asked if he has any future Hollywood ambitions, he replies, "You mean like making films that are more profitable? I haven't really thought about it."
So, does he see himself being a director or actor?
"I spend most of my time writing and, proportionally, acting is the least thing I do and having been with some pretty great actors in this film, I wouldn't put myself in their category. That would be hubristic of me."
Then after a pause: "I'm a terrible salesman of myself. I wouldn't hire me."

Amazon under threat again as Brazil's boom takes high toll
A report by Imazon warns that the government is not taking into account the full environmental impact of dams in the Amazon, calculating that 153 million tonnes of carbon will be released by the deforestation they cause. "The government is promoting a model of energy production without having all the data on the environmental impact," warns Santos.
But supporters of hydro-plants defend their benefits. "The country will need this energy so it has to come from somewhere and it is self-evident that hydro is environmentally friendlier than oil or gas fired stations. The fuel is water," says José Gelázio da Rocha, the engineer who supervised construction of the giant Itaipú dam on the Paraná river. But water is not the only fuel Brazil is seeking to harness in the Amazon. The region is also the focus of a gathering effort to exploit oil and gas reserves, often found in its deepest reaches. Marcio Rocha Mello, head of independent Brazilian oil company HRT, says the region could hold reserves equivalent to Algeria and Libya of over 100 billion barrels of oil.
Getting all this energy from deep under the forest floor to consumers thousands of kilometres away risks creating new spots of industrialisation in the heart of the jungle. Environmentalists point to the dismal environmental record of oil companies operating in the Amazon in neighbouring Ecuador.
But energy self-sufficiency is an obsession of Brazilian planners. It was dependence on imports at the time of the oil shocks in the 1970s that helped derail economic growth for the best part of two decades. Electricity blackouts in 2001 helped pave the way for the defeat of the government in elections held a year later.
Environmentalists warn this tension between preservation and development in regions like the Amazon is likely to remain so long as most developing governments seek to provide a western consumer lifestyle for their citizens.
"If we just think in economic terms then Brazil has to grow so as not to fall behind the rest of the world," says Imazon's Santos.
"This means increasing consumption, upping production and all this will require more energy. Where is the government going to find this? Amazonia. Hopefully Rio+20 can help change this strictly economic optic so that the economy has to take account of the environment and people."

Alexandria graduate establishes a career in the film industry
Dreams are the essence of life; some fade away while others blossom into reality. 2007 Jefferson High School graduate Lauren Minnerath isn't letting her dreams slip away – she's taking control and turning them into reality.By: Caroline Roers, Alexandria Echo Press
Dreams are the essence of life; some fade away while others blossom into reality.
2007 Jefferson High School graduate Lauren Minnerath isn't letting her dreams slip away – she's taking control and turning them into reality.
"I've always wanted to be a director for as long as I could remember," she said.
Growing up, Minnerath often made movies with her video camera. And while she was a junior in high school she won a national writing award for a short story – accepting the award at Carnegie Hall in New York.
"I knew she was interested in film, but I always thought she would go into writing a book or something," said Lauren's mother, Barb Minnerath. "But later, she told me that she knew from when she was really little what she wanted to do with her life."
"While in high school, my English teacher, Scott Fodness, was such a positive influence and great mentor," Minnerath said. "He was always encouraging us to be individuals at an age when we were very delicate."
Unfortunately, not all people were so accepting. Throughout elementary and middle school, Minnerath was bullied, and would stay home "sick" and watch movies her mother rented for her.
"The movies left an impact on my life," she recalled. "My mom was always very supportive of my passion for directing – I guess she's the reason I love movies. My dad is more pragmatic about it all – he's the realistic voice in my head – which is great in this industry."
After high school, Minnerath attended New York University (NYU), graduating in May 2011 with a major in film and television production.
NYU is known to have one of the most prestigious film studies in the U.S. Oscar-winning actors and directors including Susan Seidelman, director of Desperately Seeking Susan, Spike Lee and John Canemaker are professors there, along with Robby Benson, who recently voiced the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.
"Seidelman was my professor and mentor when I was working on my senior thesis," Minnerath noted.
So far, Minnerath has written, produced and directed two films. Her first film, Death Goes to Therapy, was shot during her junior year of college and has been in numerous film festivals.
It is about a grieving, widowed psychiatrist who gets the surprise of a lifetime when his newest patient turns out to be Death himself.
The idea for the film came to Minnerath in the shower one morning. Initially, it was conceived as a broad, Mel Brooks-style comedy.
"But then a few months later my grandpa had a massive stroke that paralyzed most of his body," Minnerath recalled. "An event like that obviously made me think about mortality and the human life cycle a lot more, so the story became much darker. My grandpa died a year later, right before I finished the movie – so it's dedicated to him now."
The following year at NYU, Minnerath produced her senior thesis called Sicky. Taking an entire academic year to complete, the film ran only 20 minutes.
Sicky is told through the eyes of 6-year-old Sarah, whose mother is battling cancer. Sarah doesn't understand what the word "cancer" means, but she does know what the word "sick" means.
With no one to talk to and powerless to help, Sarah invents an imaginary friend, a sick boy named Sicky. Her relationship with Sicky grows and changes, inevitably ending with Sarah finally learning to face reality.
"This film is really a personal story that I wrote during my sophomore year in college after watching a Swedish movie called Let the Right One In," Minnerath explained. "For some reason, that movie brought back all these vivid memories of my mother having cancer when I was 8 years old and the feeling of not really knowing how to process information like that at a young age.
"I wrote the script in a night, but didn't touch it or look at it for two years because I was afraid I had written something terrible."
She only pulled the script back out two years later because she needed one to enroll in the class to make her senior thesis.
"I expected my classmates to hate it, but it got really positive responses from everyone, and my professor encouraged me to keep working on the story," she noted.
Aside from directing, Minnerath has also worked on movie and film sets to gain experience, raise money for her movies and get her foot in the door.
"It's all about climbing the totem pole and gaining experience," she said. "The smaller sets are more fun to work on. I was in a set in Pennsylvania Amish Country and the cast and crew were so small that everyone had really great chemistry – it was like a small vacation."
Between her junior and senior year at NYU, she also helped at the administration office of musician, songwriter and founding member of The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, while his memoirs were being written and at Martin Scorsese Production Company during post-production for the movie Hugo.
"The hours are long and once the glitter wears off – and it wears off fast – then it just becomes a regular job," Minnerath said.
There isn't much work in New York during the winter, so Minnerath is currently writing and making short videos for a website called "College Humor," that posts comedy sketches and humor videos. But she hopes to start directing again soon.
"When you are a writer, you put yourself out there," she said. "If you want to direct, you have to direct. The industry is tough, but when people say they really like what you did, it keeps you going, knowing people appreciate your work.
"The next movie I plan to make will be small, but hopefully it will gain recognition and then the next movie I make can be a bit bigger and continue on in that fashion. In 10 years I hope to be making movies that I am proud of."

One of the best ways to experience technology is to see it working inside real life home settings. MainStreet America is designed to offer just that. Located outside of Houston, MainStreet America will include a variety of model homes that visitors can tour, as well as a 45,000-square-foot guest center.
Planned for at least one of the model homes are products from Legrand, including the On-Q Unity home control system, lyriQ multi-room audio system, a selective call intercom and surveillance cameras. Visitors interested in learning more about the products can use handheld scanners. Much like a using a gift registry, users can stroll at their leisure and point the scanner at products to "fill their shopping cart" with information. This particular home in which Legrand products will be predominately showcased, called the Wakefield, will also be designed to be a net zero home, which means it is able to generate its own electricity without producing carbon emissions.
Legrand products will be showcased in two other homes planned for the 14-acre site—which range in price from $150,000 to $616,000. MainStreet America is slated to open in October. In addition to the interactive model homes, the design center will have an area dedicated entirely to home automation.
We take a peek at some of the current options for outdoor audio.

I'm new here but I still hope members here will support this idea in order to significantly boost activity on this forum.
IMO more people would frequent this forum - like they do Forum.com which has at least 100 users at any one time if I'm not mistaken- had more members made a concerted effort to reply to more threads in the spirit of Islamic unity. I really think the solution is simply to start posting more to get the ball of discussions 'rolling'.
Here are some steps for a start insha Allah. I'm hoping others will modify/contribute to the list. Do let me know if these maybe problematic in anyway.
- 1. Sign up as an unofficial 'active' member meaning you will dedicate an 1hr, 30min, 10min or whatever you can schedule in on a daily basis for the purpose of helping others exclusively.
- 2. Always make the intention before posting to please Allah SWT so that if others appreciate your help or not it has no effect on one's enthusiasm either way.
- 3. Strive to build a stronger sense of community amongst ourselves by being kind and returning favors and going the extra mile whenever we can. Not only is this a reward in itself, it will also attract others who, after seeing how 'tight' members are here, will want to join in and be a part of the 'club'.
- 4. Never leave a thread without zero replies. Out of consideration for the thread starter and so others are not discouraged from starting threads because they probably will be if OPs are being ignored/neglected.
So are we up to it? Let's all sign up here to commit to 10, 15, 30 etc. minutes daily to help each other out and help this site surpass its potential. Just sign up even if you don't think you can commit and let it be a spiritual exercise of tawakkul (reliance on Allah SWT). Who knows maybe by our small but sincere efforts we could triple or quadruple the activity on this site!
Signing up format
No.-UserName-Days-Amount of time (other than the time you normally spend browsing and replying)
Feel free to let me know what you guys think, moderators and everyone else too.
Thanks for your time. Please seize the moment and signup now. May Allah SWT give us hope always. Ameen.
Wassalaamu alaykum WR ALLAH WB

South Asian Alliance for Budget AccountabilitySouth Asia accounts for 24 percent of the world's population, but its share in the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is only around 2 percent. This region accounts for almost half of the world's poor and many of the outcome indicators for the South Asian countries point to the persistence of acute development deficits in most of these countries. Apart from their shared history, shared borders and shared levels of deprivation, one issue that cuts across most of the South Asian countries is weak and unresponsive governance structures. A key instrument to understand the quality of governance structures in most of the South Asian countries is the government budget, which provides an outline of the nature and scope of government interventions and their quality. Given this context, it becomes relevant to appraise and develop the capacity of the civil society stakeholders in the region to interrogate the government budgets as a means to understand and improve the governance landscape. This can be attempted by strengthening the discourse of rights, promoting citizens' participation, transparency and accountability in governance in those regions where such an engagement is missing. In 2009, CBGA initiated a long term programme of creating a South Asian Alliance for Budget Accountability (SAABA) with the support of Oxfam Novib. This initiative sought to create a South Asian alliance of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the region, which are engaging with budget analysis and advocacy for strengthening governance accountability. The initiative began with four countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. In the first stage of this work, CBGA identified CSOs which were keen to join this collaborative initiative. Twenty organisations from across the three countries, viz. Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, came forward to be part of the initiative. Following the initial phase, Orientation Workshops were held to discuss the role and responsibility of South Asian Alliance for Budget Accountability (SAABA) and its CSO partners in the context of the regional alliance towards greater engagement with governance structures. Another key aspect pertained to building a collective understanding on the scope, objectives, methodology of the work and examining budget analysis and advocacy in the context of each of the three countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The next stage related to providing advanced training to select staff from partner CSOs from the three countries. Each of the partner CSOs from the three countries who were keen to engage with this collaboration identified one or two staff to take part in the Advanced Training and Internship programme. A four-day Workshop was conducted (in Kathmandu, Nepal in July 2010) for imparting advanced training to the staff from CSOs from across the three countries. For more details on the documents prepared as part of the programme, please click here. After the advanced training, a Review workshop was held in April 2011 where the staff from the partner CSOs from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan shared the resource material on budgets being prepared by their respective organisations as well as advocacy initiatives on budgets that they are engaging with. The success of SAABA would depend primarily on its ability to provide a sustained platform for civil society budget groups from across the South Asian region to engage with key concerns common across the countries and share the learning from their interventions in seeking accountability and transformation in governance systems. CBGA will be making a concerted effort, with the help of other SAABA partners, for carrying this initiative forward by identifying other groups from the three countries as well as other South Asian countries that could join the alliance. |

Northeastern Ohio women to appear on 60 Minutes with Steve Kroft
AVON — Attorney Sylvia Goldsmith said when she went to her client Judy Thomas' house recently, the living room was covered in wires, cameras and lights that were all shining on Thomas — and 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft.
Goldsmith, an Avon resident who practices out of Rocky River, and Thomas were both interviewed by Kroft as part of an upcoming story on 60 Minutes about problems that plague consumers as the result of credit reporting errors and mixing of credit information.
Goldsmith said the 60 Minutes story's theme is, "Basically credit reporting problems and why it's an issue getting it fixed."
She said that 60 Minutes got interested in the topic after Kroft was denied in-store credit because of errors in his report. He eventually got it fixed, but even for Kroft it was a hassle, Goldsmith said.
The story will highlight the difficulties consumers go through to have errors on their credit report fixed. It also will show how consumers are denied credit when they should have an excellent credit history. The story is to air sometime in early January. Goldsmith said they do not have an exact date yet because 60 Minutes still needs an interview with an industry representative to tell the other side of the story.
Goldsmith is one of five or six attorneys in the country who specialize in consumer protection litigation and were contacted by 60 Minutes through the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
60 Minutes wanted to find victims to tell their stories and the show went to Elyria to interview Thomas. Goldsmith flew to New York to shoot there. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Virginia-based attorney Leonard Bennett also were interviewed.
Goldsmith said the industry claims credit reports are wrong 20 percent of the time, but some studies show that it could be 40 percent of the time or 80 percent.
One of the problem issues with credit reports is identity theft, and another is called "mixed file." A mixed file is a credit report in which some or all of the information in it involves someone else and not the person who is the subject of the report.
Thomas has a mixed file problem, and because of it, she was unable to cosign for her daughter's student loans. Goldsmith noted that Thomas has been having issues since 1999.
"She was unaware she had a problem," Goldsmith said. "It's not her responsibility to tell them (credit agencies) how they messed up her credit report in their database."
Thomas' credit record had been mixed with that of a woman in Utah, Goldsmith said. The question is, can you get unmixed after something like that, Goldsmith noted. The credit report will still be floating around somewhere on a search engine, she said.
"She no longer has control over her information," Goldsmith said. "It (credit problems) impacts everyone."
Goldsmith blames the policies of the three big national credit reporting agencies, which are TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Goldsmith said she has sued a couple of those agencies on behalf of Thomas.
Goldsmith and two of her mixed file clients also were featured in a four-day series called "Credit Scars," that was published in an Ohio newspaper in May.

I've been saying the same thing. If you recall 2002, most people hardly gave the Buckeyes a chance against the mighty Miami Hurricanes. OSU had a number of ridiculously close calls, even more than Florida this year. They just happened to pull it out each time. But Florida should not be underestimated. They are a very quirky team, but athletic. Meyer is very similar to Tressel, just younger. This is actually an excellent match up.
