Continuing Education Blog
PNCA offers evening and weekend classes for adults and young people. For adults we offer courses in art, craft, and design, as well as professional development classes. For children we have Saturday classes during the school year and week-long camps during the summer. In addition to our regular teen classes, we also offer immersive summer Pre-College Studios. Our blog below gives you an idea of some of the goings on, and you can see our full course catalogue online here.
While going through our Flickr Site this morning to determine what today's blog post would be about, I was struck by how many stellar young artists our Program has had the privilege to work with over the last few years. I know that I speak for our instructors when I relay how super lucky we feel… getting the chance to work with your children… to teach them about art. We are continually moved by their genuine curiosity, engaging intellect, and their clear vision of the world around them. They are very cool people. Very cool, indeed. Thanks for the opportunity!

BROWNSBURG — Brownsburg senior Stephanie Mavunga's McDonald's order of a three-piece Chicken Selects, large fry, and large Hi-C has now gotten a lot more fulfilling.
Each time Mavunga that walks into the Golden Arches, she'll be doing so as a McDonald's All-American.
The North Carolina commit is one of 24 selected to the prestigious basketball game April 3 at the United Center in Chicago (6 p.m., ESPNU).
"I am just overwhelmed with joy," Mavunga said. "It's really a blessing to say the least. I'm really excited and I couldn't have made it here without God, my teammates, my family, my friends, and my fans."
Mavunga is the second Hendricks County resident to earn the national honor. Plainfield resident Kelly Faris played her high school ball at Heritage Christian and was named to the McDonald's All-American team in 2009.
The 6-foot-4 forward is the first Bulldog to be selected to the team.
"This is a huge honor," Brownsburg coach Amy Brauman said. "This is something that not very many kids get. It's a huge honor for her and she's worked really hard for it."
Mavunga averaged team-highs of 23 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game in 2013. She also became the Bulldogs' career leading scorer and set the individual game scoring record with 44 against Plainfield.
Being selected as a McDonald's All-American helps cement Mavunga's name in the Brownsburg and Indiana history books that much more.
"It just kind of validates everything that she's done for the season," Brauman said. "We've always known that she's a great player but she's done a great job especially this year trusting more in her teammates and it's allowed her to do more."
Two of Mavunga's future Tar Heel teammates also made the All-American team: Jessica Washington and her teammate on the East squad, Diamond DeShields.
"I think that's amazing," Mavunga said. "I'm playing with all of them except Allisha Gray and I really feel like she would've made it had she not torn her ACL. To be able to play with my teammates and my sisters, that's really neat. We are starting off and already starting to flow."
All of the McDonald's All-Americans find out weeks before the list is released publicly and Mavunga's UNC teammates found out before she did.
That set off a little bit of nerves for Mavunga, but the letter came to school and Brauman filled in her on the good news before the Bulldogs' 55-52 win against Lebanon on Jan. 30.
"I almost had a heart attack," Mavunga said. "This is like what I've been waiting for all of my high school season, all of my career. I've always wanted to make the high school All-American team and it was one of my big, big goals."
She had to keep the selection under wraps, as only the Brownsburg coaches and Mavunga's family were privy to the information.
When it comes to the actual game, Mavunga is expecting herself to try and win and have fun at the same time. All-star events are not typically the most intense, physical games, but she is looking forward to opportunity to play in Chicago.
"I want to win, but I want to have fun," Mavunga said. "It's an honor to just be there. I'm just going to have fun at the end of the day. I'm not going to stress myself out too much about it."
For the young girl who moved to Brownsburg before third grade, it's now a different world.
"I didn't start off as one of the best players, I'll tell you that," Mavunga said. "I wasn't very good, but they had patience with me and really molded me as a player. Since the fourth grade, Brownsburg has molded me into a player, a student, a leader. Just to be able to give back and put them on the map, is something big and something I feel I owe Brownsburg."

Dolphins take the first step in defending A-Sun title
Related Links
In the opening round of the 2012 Atlantic Sun Tournament, the Jacksonville softball team rode dominant pitching performances to a 2-1 victory over Lipscomb.
Jacksonville did not allow the hour plus rain delay bring them down as senior pitchers Sarah Sigrest and Brittany Eppley looked sharp as ever and combined for the win and save.
"I'm really proud of our girls," said Head Coach Ali Higgs. "Sigrest and Eppley did a great job keeping us in the game all seven innings. Our defense was solid and our hitters put the ball in play and put the pressure on them to make plays. Everyone contributed and it was an overall great team win."
Sigrest (18-11) won her fourth straight game at the A-Sun Tournament as she was the winning pitcher in each of the Dolphins' three wins en route to their title last season. She allowed five hits and one run while striking out three in five innings of work.
Offense was hard to find for either team just like the last time Sigrest and Lipscomb's Whitney Kiihnl faced off to combine for just two hits allowed.
The Dolphins capitalized on a few Bisons miscues in the top of the fifth to score their only runs of the game. Melissa Morales drew a one out walk and then advanced to third after leadoff hitter Codi Kelly doubled to right center giving JU runners on second and third. After a foul out, a wild pitch from Kiihnl allowed Morales to come in from third and break the scoreless tie. Amanda Schmidt then hurried down the first base line and induced a wide throw from the shortstop allowing Kelly to score and put JU up 2-0.
Lipscomb almost got one of the runs back in the bottom half of the inning. With runners on first and second with two outs, the Bisons' Kelsey Cartwright singled up the middle. Kiihnl rounded third and headed towards home but was gunned down at home plate by a perfect throw from centerfielder Kayla Ouellet.
Things got tight in the bottom of the sixth when Haley Elliot led off the inning with a solo shot to left center cutting the Dolphin lead in half. Higgs decided it was time to bring in Eppley and the decision paid off. After allowing a single, Eppley struck out the next batter she faced. The Dolphins then got out of the inning with a double play as Eppley struck out the batter and Sarah Simon threw out the runner trying to advance from first base.
The reigning Pitcher of the Week and Second Team All-Conference Eppley shut down the Lipscomb batters in the seventh with two strikeouts and a groundout.
JU will return to action tomorrow at 12:30 pm to face the #1 seed Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. In their two meetings this season, FGCU won both contests but JU had a lead going into the last inning of both games.

Voice is the sound produced by vibration of the vocal cords (vocal folds) in the larynx (voice box). A voice disorder occurs when the vocal folds do not vibrate effectively to produce a clear sound.
Causes of voice disorders can include abuse or misuse of the voice, such as yelling, excessive throat clearing, or speaking too loudly. These types of behaviors result in excessive hard closure of the vocal folds causing blister-like bruises that can harden into callous-like lesions called vocal fold nodules. Other causes of voice disorders can include Laryngo-Pharyngeal Reflux (excessive stomach acid backing into the larynx), vocal fold polyps, vocal fold paralysis, vocal fold cysts, etc.
Voice evaluations are conducted by Speech-language pathologists who are experts in the area of voice. Evaluations include non-instrumental assessment and instrumental assessment. These assessments allow the Speech-language pathologist to measure the voice objectively, determine patterns that suggest how the larynx is functioning physically, and determine whether there is a hyper functional or hypo functional component present. Voice disorders are complex and this type of evaluation helps determine whether behavioral voice therapy, surgery or a combination of approaches would best serve the patient.
Types of voice treatment may include:

Obama tells reporters in Oval that "absolutely clear the economy is not doing fine," and meant only that private sector has "good momentum."—
Scott Wilson (@PostScottWilson) June 08, 2012
Oh, well. Good momentum. Probably from all the headwinds.
President Obama frantically tried to backpedal his ludicrous "the private sector is doing fine" statement from this morning, after being deservedly clobbered with it all day. Attempts at spin from the usual suspects had failed, so President Obama had to let himself be clear about not being clear when he was trying to be clear. Or something. Economics is hard! Thingamajigs!

As has been the case every year for a long time now on the Sunday night after all the regular-season finales have been completed, Pro Football Weekly editors were asked this past Sunday evening to revise their Super Bowl picks should they choose to for our print publication previewing the first round of this year's "Second Season."
Way back in the late summer, I boldly wrote in the PFW 2010 Kickoff Issue that the Packers would beat the Ravens in this year's Super Bowl. On Sunday night, I stuck to my guns as far as the Packers are concerned, once again boldly predicting that they would somehow find a way to upend the mighty Patriots in a stirring rematch of their Week 15 prime-time game, won none too easily by New England.
I doubt too many of you reading this will find fault with this prediction, assuming that most, if not all, of you are probably big-time Packers Kool-Aid drinkers morning, noon and night. It's possible, though, that my more level-headed app amigos might wonder a little just how much my objectivity might have been swayed by the fact that — and here comes a major confession from a born-and-raised Chicagoan who grew up living and dying on every snap of every Bears game — I have fallen in love with this particular Packers team after chronicling their season 24/7 since attending their training camp in late August.
The two days I was at that camp along with fellow PFW editor Dan Parr, I immediately sensed that something was special in the air. After getting up close and personal with the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, I came away sincerely believing that both of them were going to have tremendous seasons. I wasn't so sure about new kids on the block like Bryan Bulaga, Morgan Burnett and Sam Shields. But I was struck by how privileged these youngsters seemed to feel, having become members of such a storied franchise with such a unique following.
Put simply, the team really, truly appeared to have its act totally together. And then the season started, and one starter after another started dropping like flies, but the Packers just kept grinding away, remaining in the hunt as one replacement part after another masterfully rose to the occasion when called upon.
Making predictions is a very small part of what I do for a living, and I learned a long time ago that you're playing with fire whenever you start patting yourself on the back when all of your picking seems to be clicking. But I've had one of my best handicapping years in some time, with a 135-111-10 record against the spread and a 32-18-1 record on best bets (three per week) having become a matter of record in the pages of PFW's print edition.
And for what it's worth, I'm here to tell you that I really, truly like the Packers' Super Bowl chances.
And I am not afraid at all to rant about it.

By all accounts, the bus driver was a compassionate person who had gone out of his way to try to befriend the man who would become his killer.
The response of local and national law enforcement resources was awe-inspiring. Peace officers who have trained for just this type of situation were called upon. A windowless DC-9 reportedly flew in with special equipment. C-4 explosives, an arsenal of arms, helmeted officers in body armor, Humvees and armored personnel carriers were on the scene. Remotely controlled aircraft were seen circling the area, presumably using cameras to watch for signs of movement. One report even indicated a camera was moved through a plastic pipe to enable law enforcement officers to observe the kidnapper and analyze his behavior.
We applaud the bravery and courage of the officers who stormed the bunker and successfully rescued the child, with no reports of injuries to anyone but the kidnapper. We appreciate the skill, the training and the professionalism of those who converged on the scene to help. The teamwork and cooperation that must have taken place are comforting. The administrators and politicians who approved forming, equipping and training of such a team are to be commended for their farsightedness and vision for making such a rescue possible.
But we have to wonder if there is a piece of the puzzle missing.
In this incident, and in all too many of the mass shootings that have taken place, the tragedies are caused by someone with some type of mental aberration.
In the intense national debate over whether or how to change laws about guns, mental health policies are being mentioned almost as an afterthought.
Part of the president's "Now is the Time" plan calls for more nurturing school climates, and quality coverage of mental health treatment, particularly for young people.
We'd like to see those ideas moved to the front end of the conversation.
Some of that could be done at the state level, without waiting for a federal mandate. It's been almost a half century since Alabama began reducing the capacity of the state's mental hospitals. There were about 5,000 patients housed there in 1970. By 2012, that was down to about 600. Many more get treatment as residents or outpatients through community-based centers.
We can't help wondering if they have the resources they need for their mission, or whether the mission needs to be redefined.
In Talladega County, for example, there are six local law enforcement agencies, in addition to state and federal agencies that operate as needed in the same area.
Talladega County shares one mental health facility with three other counties.
In our present system, law enforcement officers are typically the first people called when someone suffering from a mental health issue is presenting a danger to others. They handle those calls as professionally as they can, but is that the best approach?
We all heard comments from the south Alabama kidnapper describing his odd and dangerous behavior. The Colorado theater killer had personality issues that apparently blocked his admission to doctoral programs at UAB and the University of Iowa. The Newtown shooter had issues his mother chose to ignore.
An improved recognition of mental health issues, and a more systematic method of getting help for people who may need it could not only prevent rare acts of violence, but could go a long way toward improving the quality of life for others among us.
At the very least, a counselor or therapist could go talk to people having difficulties coping with life – with a police escort, if that's what is needed.
It's great to know that our government has awesome resources available to respond after the emergency call comes in.
We have to wonder if we can't do a better job of identifying people at risk and getting them the help they need before it comes to a crisis.

The whole experience on board was boring and unwelcoming. The age bracket of the majority on the ship was over 45 or under 20 approx and very few between 20 -45 and we are both 30!!! There was only 8 people we meet on the trip that spoke English and all said they felt exactly as we did about the trip. One woman got off in and said it was like getting out of jail....she couldn't wait to go home. last night we were kept awake all night by the staff moving luggage around the corridors or shouting down them to each other it was disgraceful - silent disembarkation my eye!! By the end of the end of the trip we felt so happy to get off the ship - it was a relief to be going home.
Overall I would recommend cruising with NCL, Royal Caribbean, Holland American or Fred Olsen instead. I would never recommend MSC to anyone.
It was a complete waste of money

The Commercial-News
---- — Editor:
As the poor get poorer, our president engages himself in the concept of by saying the middle class America will recover. People working over 40 hours a week are still not able to have a home. Our Republican countrymen propagate the way to save America is by sacrificing the poor and our senior fathers and mothers along with America most precious, our children. For what other than to keep their rich pockets full?
The idea that America can be secure through military might was found to be false. Rather than educating and feeding the American people, our tax dollars are spent on drones, military armaments and building foreign governments, which only bring more hatred toward the American people.
How can America move ahead into the 21st century with a 16th century mindset in Congress?
Already the right to vote is being taken away from many. Since the advent of the Obama administration, racism and bigotry have increased substantially, leaving a division in America not seen In a century. Our chief justice stated the Civil Rights Law is no longer needed because racism in the U.S. no longer afflicts American society. I assume he has been living in a room with no window for the past two decades and has not read the newspaper and only watched Fox News.
He is an insult to everyone who has suffered the new day slavery, which is minimum wage.

Yeah, I think AC's probably right. This has the "DeRosa's regular day off" written all over it.
I'm going to say it's a deal with the Giants, simply because that's what I've heard about the most.
I agree LA Cleveland Fan.
Anyone see an umpire blow three straight calls right in front of him? This idiot has missed three calls right in front of him at second base. Despicable

His boldly flavored dishes are both simple and sophisticated, combining rustic Italian preparations with fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients. Add to this our great location in downtown Seattle, our warm, intimate atmosphere and outstanding service and it's easy to understand why Tulio is widely regarded as one of the city's best restaurants.Continued

- oh so so no .OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Having read so many good reviews i was excited to eat here, if only I knew. from the paper menus to the waiter who blew by us several times never noticing we were waiting to order to the obnoxious table of Hip Hop artist who had to be thrown out because they were Wasted and making a scene.I give the Mgr credit for tossing them out unfortunately this only came After I had to get up from my meal and demand somthing be done. our waiter felt so bad he comp our meal Hoping that we would return again. unfortuniatly our ruined birthday evening could not be saved and my memories of this place probebly will never fade. Obnoxious customers are one thing but there are way to many other better choices in seattle to settle for lame inattentive service .Special Features:
- Not impressedagirlcalledjackDined on 8/25/2014Even though the restaurant was not full, it took 10 min for someone to come by, another 10 to be brought water and my entree arrived before my wine, and the entree was undercooked. Will not be going back.
- Reunion DinnerSarahDined on 8/25/2014Four of us converged on Tulio's from far flung parts and spent the night deep in conversation. The wait staff were very understanding of our desire to talk and be off task for ordering. The food was great, especially for a warm Seattle evening. Will return.Special Features:
- Amazing TulioRoccoDined on 8/23/2014Tulio Restaurant in Seattle never disappoints. The staff are so attentive to their clients needs. The kitchen staff always produces amazing plates from appetizers to desserts. My wife and live in Canada but make a yearly stop to this great place!! Lastly, we always sit in James' section and never see a menu - the best part of our evening is being surprised with our next plate of delectables.Special Features:
- Great Friday night DinnerjmrmodeDined on 8/22/2014We went to Tulio for our weekly date night out. We made reservations for 10pm, and were promptly seated. It was pretty loud due to a birthday party next to our booth, but it was ok because i love celebrations! Our waiter was attentive, and made great suggestions from drinks to dessert. We had a wonderful date night out, and can't wait to come back. I really wanted the gnocchi, but was trying to save room for the wonderful pork shank..i would have loved to substitute the gnocchi for the potatoes i had, but that's ok..it was great, and i can't wait to come back. Thank you Tulio!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food!nstreeVIPDined on 8/21/2014Our second trip to Tulio's when in Seattle- the food is second to none!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Made our Anniversary very specialElleCatDined on 8/19/2014I noted in my open table reservation that my husband and I would be celebrating our anniversary. When we arrived at the restaurant, the host wished us a happy anniversary and led us to a lovely table decorated with 2 long stem red roses. Nate promptly served us celebratory glasses of prosecco and we proceeded to enjoy a lovely meal in a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service made our evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Make Sure to Get to BrunchFrogdogVIPDined on 8/17/2014This little restaurant is a gem! We went for brunch on Sunday and enjoyed the biscuits and gravy with eggs. This was the BEST sausage gravy I have ever had! Our server recommended the Rustic Bread for my husband and he said that was also very good. The bloody mary's are also quite tasty -- and potent. If I lived in Seattle, I would make this my "go to" restaurant.Special Features:
- Thank you tulio!AmyMDined on 8/15/2014We ate dinner last Friday night to kickoff our college reunion weekend and I cannot say enough fabulous things about the impeccable service by our highly skilled and professional waiter , the incredibly delicious meal and the fun atmosphere!

- Dinner at TulipLuv2eatDined on 8/15/2014Everything from food to service to ambiance made this a memorable evening. Even though are waiter, Anthony, was busy it was not reflected in his attention to us. The parking attendant was great. I stayed recently at the Hotel Vintage and am very impressed with all the staffSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business lunch spitWestcoastfoodie4Dined on 8/14/2014Attentive staff, appropriate lunch menu. Excellent for business meetings.Special Features:
- Great lunchTVCdinerVIPDined on 8/13/2014I stopped in for lunch. The hostess seated me at a nice booth for 4, even though I was a party of 1. I ordered the tomato bread soup. It was excellent, fresh and tasty. I also had the romaine Caesar salad. Again, fresh and flavorful. I felt I had plenty to eat and the total bill was $16. Given the atmosphere, service and food quality it was very reasonable.
- Tulio'sDelisMealsDined on 8/13/2014I love eating at Tulio's. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is fabulous with a changing menu offering new adventures each visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EggstasticJacqueDined on 8/11/2014At our table, we enjoyed three different delectable options. The Tulio Benedict and featured omelettes looked great! My frittata was outstanding with the tomato jam and goat cheese! I would highly recommend this brunch! I just recently moved to this neighborhood. It may be my new fave Sunday destination! I have also recently tried the Burrata and Beets with an excellent wine recommendation. I have also enjoyed lunch and dinner for business there and not been disappointed. It is really a gem!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/9/2014Service impeccable and very friendly. The good delicious. Crab ravioli was delicate and very savory. The lobster oil over the ravioli very tastySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lazy Jerk WaiterBlondie69Dined on 8/8/2014In all fairness we were late by 15 minutes, we did call to let them know. They gave away our reserved table for our 45th anniversary. They then sat us next to a very loud group of 8, we asked to be moved and apparently that made the manager mad as hell, our waiter meantime was a champ! Unfortunately our new waiter was a egotistical jerk. He was obviously ticked. We were moved and no sooner were we moved than the manager set up table right next to our booth for a table for 8, even though there were many other spots to put them. These folks were out having a good time arrived drunk from the Mariners game, good for them not so much us! We have been to Tulio's many times for the food, the service has always been so-so. We will never return.Special Features:
- Two for one...SteveDined on 8/6/2014I really enjoy Tulio. I love the old Vintage Park Hotel as well (attached) and the ambience of the restaurant, a complete two for one deal. The food is fantastic and the service is always good. The bar has a nice friendly feel as well. Go enjoy Tulio. In fact, stay at Vintage Park and walk done for the visit.Special Features:
- good food but noisychoupiCDined on 8/4/2014Food was very good and our server was charming (even if we forgot ro bring the coffes we asked for) but the noise level made it hard to enjoy the conversation. True that there was a party of 10 next to us but probably not recommended for a romantic evening.Special Features:
- Late night Sunday night DinnerNewtDined on 8/3/2014Very chatty and friendly staff with some great interaction with every member of our party. Recommendations from the menu were accurate and the lamb was incredibleSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It got approval from an Italian!WayneDined on 8/1/2014I escort Italians for a living. It is not often that they enjoy an Italian restaurant in America. He liked this one. He had the Branzino without the fruit on top, just plain. I had the Duck and my fiance had the salmon. Everything was good, including the service.Special Features:
- Seattle's BestDougoDined on 7/29/2014Wow wow wow!! Absolutely the best meal and dining experience I have had in a long time. Service was outstanding ( thanks Matthew) from start to finish and every bite was to die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!VeraKDined on 7/27/2014Great food, exceptional service! We went there before seeing a play at ACT Theatre. Very nice and romantic place. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find in SeattlewaitonmeDined on 7/25/2014Tulio made it on the list of recommended restaurants at a recent conference I attended in Seattle. Located convenient to all the downtown hotels this restaurant was a real find. Great food. A variety of pasta dishes, meat and seafood. I had the halibut special which was to die for. My husband enjoyed his Oriechette as well. They have an extensive wine list. I would enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The service was amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014The server James really went above and beyond for us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb Italian diningJulianneDined on 7/20/2014I make yearly trips to Seattle and always look for new restaurants to try. Trulio was our favorite dining experience of all the restaurants we've been to in Seattle. We sat in a spacious booth and were lucky to be served by a consummate professional, James Loop. He helped us with our selections---we enjoyed every dish, including the panzanella soup, crab ravioli, risotto, lamb, bread, and pistachio semi-freddo---don't miss it. Good for small groups, romance, and solo diners. Tulio has a New York feel to it. We loved everything about Tulio's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A special dinner experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/19/2014Tulio was a special dinner experience from start to finish. The waiter made it his mission for us to have a special dinner experience and recommended exceptional combinations. The food was outstanding culminating with a very special dessert. I highly recommend this location for great service and a terrific dining experience.Special Features:
- AMAZING!!drewDined on 7/16/2014Went for my 4 year wedding anniversary. They had roses waiting on the table for us. Also gave us some complimentary drinks. Serve was informative and awesome. Had a great time. Will be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PlunkettDined on 7/15/2014This was third time we have eaten at sea star. The food is always very good . We always order the swordfish when available. This time the entree was slightly over cooked and a little dry but "still excellent". When sea star is not up to par it still is head and shoulders above most other restaurants. However the noise level is quite high and detracts from truly enjoying the evening and meal. Hard to talk at a normal level when restaurant is full. You almost have to shout at times to be heard.Special Features:
- sonnyVIPDined on 7/14/2014We have dined at Tulio for both lunch and dinner. The service is always good, and the food very good. Roberto Garcia the host is the bestSpecial Features:
- Late night yum!rohaontheroadDined on 7/13/2014We needed a restaurant serving late on a Sunday and had no trouble with an after-9 reservation. The staff was friendly, the roast chicken and risotto was rustic and flavorful, and the pistachio semi-freddo dessert was unusual and tasty! The place was comfortable and the prices were completely reasonable. The "feel" was very upscale-family, but our booth was towards the back and was ideal for a romantic night out. We mentioned our anniversary and the waitress brought us a beautiful ripe strawberry with a curly candle to make a wish on. Great location and highly recommended! Our Seattle dining experiences have been hit or miss, and this was another hit!Special Features:
- Great atmosphere, Great food!D2GutDined on 7/13/2014My husband and I went on a Sunday night, not too crowded, but we had reservations just in case. Extensive and expensive wine list. The servers will help you select if you need. I had a salad appetizer and my husband had a half order of the crab ravioli, AWESOME! We heard someone else get a half order off the primi list, so if you want to do that and get a meat course you can. The clam linguini was chock full of local clams in a simple, flavorful broth, and my husbands salmon was cooked perfectly with a peppery rapini (broccoli raab) sauté underneath. We even indulged in desert and the Expresso Martini is the best I've ever had. Probably a little overpriced, but I would go back again.Special Features:
- Excellent Dinner at TuliopajolieDined on 7/13/2014Five in our party, four different main courses selected. First courses of beet salad and sweet potato gnocchi were both excellent. All of the main courses, which covered the range from pasta to chicken to halibut, were quite wonderful. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and also had a good sense of humor, which helped make this occasion special for us. My only concern was a somewhat limited wine by the glass selection and the price of the wine definitely can make the bill go up quickly. I was very pleased with the round table, which I had requested and which was provided for us. This enabled our party to talk together comfortably. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant very highly.Special Features:
- Great find!FoodGirlDined on 7/12/2014Found this restaurant through Open Table. The menu looked great but it exceeded my expectations. Service was warm and attentive and the food was outstanding. The ribeye was delicious and reminded me of many great meals in Italy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceQuentinDined on 7/11/2014The food and service was excellent. They had an extensive and diverse wine list with several domestic and foreign wines to choose from. The food selection was diverse as well, and the freshness and quality was excellent! Our server was both friendly and informative.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tulio - fab cured meat platter!BelltownResident2021VIPDined on 7/11/2014Seattle has a handful of top-drawer Italian restaurants serving lunch downtown and in Belltown - Il Fornaio, Tulio, Assagio, and Barolo. These four really have it dialed in. They all have great service, nice wine lists, a good bar, and authentic Italian cuisine of the tastiest order. Choose Tulio for the misti platter, and for the seafood, especially fish, and a better than average wine list.Special Features:
- Great for vegetarians!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/8/2014They have a separate veg menu! Very friendly and attentive staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great brunch!orielhDined on 7/5/2014Tulio was perfect for our needs ... Excellent oatmeal with fresh fruit and yoghurt for one of us, and a very well prepared cooked breakfast for t'other ... very friendly staff, despite the fact that we arrived late and were the last to leaveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasure at TulioEnjoyAllDiningDined on 7/1/2014I have been eating here since 1998 and love the sweet potato gnocchi and the roasted chicken with lemon risotto. While I have had everything on their menu, and everything I have ever had was very good, I keep coming back to the above dishes. The service is always excellent. My dining companion had a quart of milk with her, and the host was great about refrigerating it for us while we ate. Thanks for another great evening, Tulio!Special Features:
- what happened?IMHUNGRYDined on 7/1/2014Haven't been in town for awhile & decided to go to my fave, Tulio, for lunch. I love their risotto & my spouse ordered crab ravioli w/lobster oil. My "risotto" arrived on a plate piled in a cone shape. A. It should never be served on a plate. B. Key word is "piled". Risotto should be creamy with liquid. This was a rice cassarole sculpture. The ravioli were literally swimming in oil and were falling apart. Those arrived in a bowl... A drizzling of oil would have been appropriate. We did ask if we had received the correct order and were assured we had. Hoping this was just a truly off day and that this is not a sign of things to come.

Olympus started a mini-revolution with the release of the E-P1, or PEN. By combining elegant retro styling with superb build-quality, a compact Micro Four Thirds body, interchangeable lenses and most importantly, excellent picture-taking capabilities, the E-P1 was as desirable as it was expensive.
However, there was no built-in flash, and although Olympus makes a tiny external flash especially for the E-P1 it's an added expense many didn't want to pay for. Because of these issues and also its high initial price, the E-P1 has faced some stiff competition in the form of Panasonic's GF1, with it's even more compact body, built-in flash and optional electronic viewfinder.
With the new Olympus E-P2, the company has addressed most of these points. Continue reading
The 14.2-megapixel A450 tags itself onto the bottom end of Sony's mid-range "intermediate" dSLR cameras, flanked either side by entry level "beginner" models (A230, A330 and A380) and the cripplingly expensive full-frame "Advanced" models in the form of the A850 and A900.
The Alpha 450 is user friendly without being overly simplistic. In addition to Program, the usual Shutter and Aperture priority and full-auto modes, six scene modes are available. There's also an automatic HDR mode that combines multiple exposures into one high dynamic range image without the need for special software. Continue reading
Sony arrived late to the straight-to-YouTube camcorder party, with Webbie -- a cute, but flawed rotating head cam. With no pop-out USB interface or SD Card compatibility, it simply couldn't compete. Bloggie, on the other hand, is getting VIP access on the strength of its dual format card slot and Full HD 1080p specification. The PM5K model tested here even has a party trick -- a snap-on 360-degree lens that can capture a whole room in panorama, or a kind of donut vision if you prefer.
Like Flip and Kodak, Sony has realised that what customers in this market want is a pocket-sized cam that makes it easy to shoot and upload short video clips in reasonable quality. That's exactly what the Bloggie does, and with a degree of style. By swallowing it's corporate pride and adding SD card compatibility alongside the Memory Stick slot, Bloggie offers more flexibility than its peers and instead of on-board memory, you'll find a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card in the box.

Competition at the lower end of the dSLR market is fiercer than ever, as camera manufacturers compete for the loyalty of a fickle marketplace. New features such as HD video, and ever-increasing pixel counts mean that today's dSLRs for "beginners" offer more technology than last year's mid-range models. Outwardly, Canon's new EOS 550D is virtually indistinguishable from the EOS 500D, and apart from its larger, 3:2-format LCD screen, the two cameras are hard to tell apart. Look a little closer though, and the 550D offers a host of improvements, including several functions borrowed from the semi-professional EOS 7D. These include an ultra high-resolution 18-megapixel sensor and a true HD video mode with manual exposure control. Continue reading
As a member of an entirely new category of cameras, the Panasonic GF1 delivers the image quality and flexibility of a dSLR in a device that will slip easily into your coat pocket.
Based on the Micro Four Thirds standard, and jointly developed with Olympus, the GF1 takes the traditional dSLR design and shrinks it down by removing the mirror, pentaprism and optical viewfinder. But, crucially, it retains the high-quality large-format image sensor. Continue reading
Convergence has finally reached the high-altitude hamlets of Pro-Camera Land.

While the majority of us spent the second half of last year over-excited about Apple tablets and Google phones, Nikon managed to quietly come out with a showstopper.The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is the world's first projector camera. While this may sound like the photography gimmick of the decade, it is incredibly refreshing to trial a camera for which you are not desperately looking for a standout feature to separate it from the 12 megapixel masses. Nikon has clued onto an inescapable fact -- when it comes to photography -- we are all a little narcissistic. You take a snap and then show it off to your companions who are only too happy to view your efforts to check whether they look good enough for Facebook. To be able to show your images on the nearest wall is not only going to get lots of admiring gasps but will also keep your friends' grubby hands off your camera. Continue reading
Looks may not be everything but the handsome design of the Samsung WB1000 really does stand out - this is very attractive device. It has an all-metal chassis and feels sturdy in your hand, although it is still light at 160g. Two retro gauges, which show the battery life and how full your memory card is, are a tad gimmicky but provide a nice quirky touch.
But it's not all looks as this camera is feature-full. It has a 12 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom that delivers a 24mm ultra wide angle shot. There are also the usuals - dual image stabilisation, face detection and blink detection.
This camera is essentially a high-end compact but doesn't make it into the bridge camera category. It's fine for both those who want to point and shoot and those who want more control over their images. Continue reading
When the Nikon D3 was announced in 2007, it changed digital photography overnight. No, it really did – literally. It might have been Nikon's first full-frame DSLR, but the D3 came straight off the starting blocks offering world-beating performance in low light that – to date – no other manufacturer has been able to match. Within months it became the favourite of photojournalists and professional sports and wildlife photographers worldwide, and since then it has taken a serious bite out of Canon's share of the pro market.The D3 had speed and sensitivity in spades, but even in 2007, its maximum resolution of 12 million pixels was a little underwhelming. Fast forward to 2009, and the new D3s offers even better low light sensitivity and the inevitable HD (720p) video, but the pixel count remains the same. Continue reading
Usually I'd spend a lot of time running through features and talking about performance before giving you the bottom line on Canon's new pocketable camera. But I just can't be coy about this one.

Citrix and Google partner to bring native enterprise features to Chromebooks
Chromebooks are making inroads into the education sector, and a push is coming for the enterprise with new native Chrome capabilities from Citrix. Google and Citrix have announced Citrix Receiver for Chrome, a native app for the Chromebook which has direct access to the system resources, including printing, audio, and video. To provide the security needed for the enterprise, the new Citrix app assigns a unique Receiver ID to each device for monitoring, seamless Clipboard integration across remote and local applications, end user experience monitoring with HDX Insight, and direct SSL connections.
Is Open Source an Open Invitation to Hack Webmail Encryption?
While the open source approach to software development has proven its value over and over again, the idea of opening up the code for security features to anyone with eyeballs still creates anxiety in some circles. Such worries are ill-founded, though. One concern about opening up security code to anyone is that anyone will include the NSA, which has a habit of discovering vulnerabilities and sitting on them so it can exploit them at a later time. Such discoveries shouldn't be a cause of concern, argued Phil Zimmermann, creator of PGP, the encryption scheme Yahoo and Google will be using for their webmail.
Changing times, busy times and why Google will save Usenet.
Linux however has succeeded by way of form factors diversifying. Be it Android phones or tablets there is a big shift with the mainstream consumer in terms of what devices they want and here Linux has excelled. In 2008 my decision remove my Microsoft dependency was for reasons of the control they had on the desktop, the practices alleged against them and the dubious tactics some of their advocates used to promote the products. I also wholeheartedly agree with the ethos of FOSS which was another contributory factor. Today, my feelings about FOSS have not changed, there are caveats to my opinions of FOSS (especially in gaming) but I've covered that before in other articles. Today I avoid Microsoft not because I feel the need to make a stand against its behaviour, its because I don't need them. I support Microsoft being a "choice" in the market as I support user freedom, but as for what Microsoft can offer me (regardless of its past) there is nothing.
Eltechs Debuts x86 Crossover Platform for ARM Tablets, Mini-PCs
The product, called ExaGear Desktop, runs x86 operating systems on top of hardware devices using ARMv7 CPUs. That's significant because x86 software, which is the kind that runs natively on most computing platforms today, does not generally work on ARM hardware unless software developers undertake the considerable effort of porting it. Since few are likely to do that, having a way to run x86 applications on ARM devices is likely to become increasingly important as more ARM-based tablets and portable computers come to market. That said, the ExaGear Desktop, which Eltechs plans to make available next month, currently has some steep limitations. First, it only supports Ubuntu Linux. And while Eltechs said support for additional Linux distributions is forthcoming, there's no indication the product will be able to run x86 builds of Windows on ARM hardware, a feat that is likely to be in much greater demand than Linux compatibility.

Residents in Old Saybrook had quite the scare Sunday afternoon after the Office of Emergency Management public address system released a message over the town's public address system.
According to police, an unidentified dispatcher was trying to get a message to the fire department to clean up after a weekend event, but he sent out one of the prerecorded messages saying that there was a terrorist attack and to follow procedure.
"I can assure you that we've had this system for more than 10 years now, and this is the first mistake," said Old Saybrook Police Chief Michael Spera. "That is no excuse and we will still review our procedures and make sure they are the proper procedures to prevent miscommunication to the public."
The dispatcher realized the mistake and told his supervisor, who told Spera. Police sent out a message through the Everbridge system informing residents that there was no emergency and the alert was sent as a mistake.
"There is no emergency, and no homeland security crisis in or near the town of Old Saybrook," the message stated.
State and local authorities were notified about the message and an internal review was ordered to see if the system needs to be changed.
"The Town of Old Saybrook takes emergency preparedness and communication with the public during times of crisis very seriously," police said in a statement. "We have years of success using mass alerting systems to properly inform the public during emergencies and will continue that practice. Yesterday's incident was an extremely unfortunate and localized event."
Some residents told Eyewitness News that an internal review should have been done sooner.
"It's kind of interesting how to correct that mistake to reassure people that they're still safe," said Doree Wilcox, of Old Saybrook.
Spera said the loudspeakers, which are located at the firehouse on Main Street, Saybrook Point and Fenwick, have been of great use during our most recent tropical storms and they will continue to use them in the future.
The loudspeakers were originally put in place to warn residents of a meltdown at the nearby Millstone Nuclear Power Station.
Spera said he is not naming the dispatcher who made the mistake Sunday, or saying how much experience he or she has. Any disciplinary action will come out of that internal review, Spera said.

Tossing a Frisbee with your friends is a great way to have fun in the sun. As you practice your throws and become more accurate, you are learning about the aerodynamics of Frisbee flight intuitively. You are learning the body mechanics that will make the Frisbee go where you want it to go. This science project will get the thinking part of you into your Frisbee tossing. Who knows, it might even help you get better!
|Figure 1. Tossing a Frisbee with friends can be a lot of fun, and can be a great way to learn more about aerodynamics! (Louis Desroches)
Two key forces that act on a Frisbee during its flight are lift and drag. Lift is the force that allows a Frisbee to stay in the air, and it opposes the force of gravity on the mass of the Frisbee in flight. The Frisbee itself creates this lift force as it flies through the air. Because of the curved shape of the Frisbee, the airflow above the Frisbee must travel at a higher velocity than the airflow below the Frisbee, which creates an area of low air pressure above the Frisbee and relatively high air pressure below it. This difference in air pressure provides the lift for the Frisbee. Drag is a backward force on the Frisbee, and it goes against the Frisbee's movement through the air. The force of drag acts perpendicular to the force of lift. Figure 2 below shows how lift and drag act on a Frisbee. The NASA website listed in the Bibliography is a great place to start learning more about the concepts of lift and drag.
|Figure 2. This diagram shows the forces on a Frisbee in flight. The arrow v shows the direction of flight. The downward arrow mg is the weight of the Frisbee (mass times gravity). The backward arrow, D, is the force of drag. The upward arrow L is the force of lift. It acts perpendicular to the direction of flight and drag. Both lift and drag change as a function of the angle of attack, α, of the disc, shown here as the difference between the direction of flight and the direction the Frisbee is pointing. (Hubbard and Hummel, 2000)
You will notice in the diagram above that the Frisbee can travel at an angle. This can be caused by throwing the Frisbee at an angle. That is, at the moment when you snap your wrist and let go, the Frisbee can be tilted with respect to the ground. In this science project, we will call that tilt the "launch angle." Figure 3 below defines exactly what we mean. This is looking at the Frisbee edge-on, for a right-handed thrower. The dotted line is zero degrees, corresponding to a horizontal launch. When the outer edge of the Frisbee is above the horizontal, the launch angle is positive. When the outer edge of the Frisbee is below the horizontal, the launch angle is negative. Figure 4 below is for a left-handed thrower. Note that the definition of positive and negative angles changes.
|Figure 3. Definition of launch angle for a right-handed thrower. Outside edge tilted up is positive, outside edge tilted down is negative.
|Figure 4. Definition of launch angle for a left-handed thrower. Outside edge tilted up is negative, outside edge tilted down is positive.
As a side note, you have probably noticed that a Frisbee does not travel far if it is thrown without spin. Spinning the Frisbee helps it fly by supplying angular momentum, which keeps the Frisbee stable while it is rotating. The faster the Frisbee spins, the more stable it should be.
In this science project, you will test how the launch angle affects the distance and direction of a Frisbee's flight, and use this knowledge to predict the flight of a Frisbee based on its launch angle.

Experimental Procedure
- Do your background research and learn about the forces on the Frisbee in flight.
- Use string, chalk, or a hose to make a 10-15 foot center line for aiming your throws, as shown in Figure 5 below.
|Figure 5. Throw the Frisbee from the launch point, aiming along the center line. Example landing points are indicated in blue. Measure the distance from the launch point and angle from the center line. Angles to the left of the center line are negative and angles to the right of the center line are positive.
- Practice throwing the Frisbee down the center line a few times so you get used to tossing it.
- If you have not thrown a Frisbee much before, you may want to try practicing it for a little while.
- Tip: A good way to throw a Frisbee is by standing sideways with the Frisbee held in front of you (near your other shoulder), then bringing the Frisbee horizontally across you as you throw it.
- If your tape measure is not as long as your typical Frisbee throw, you can make a longer tape measure using a piece of string. Mark off regular intervals with tape labels and a marker, and you are in business.
- Throw the Frisbee as flat and horizontal as you can, aiming it down the center line. When the Frisbee lands, measure the distance between the launch point and the Frisbee's landing point (where it first hit). Also measure the Frisbee's angle from the center line (using a protractor to measure the angle that the measuring tape makes with the center line). You can use a helper to help you collect this data. Record this data in your lab notebook.
- If you have a video camera, you can use it to help you analyze the launch angle of the Frisbee. Set it up near you so that it can record your throw without your body blocking the view. Later you can watch and stop the video at the moment that you release the Frisbee and measure the launch angle of the Frisbee.
- If you do not use a video camera, then you or a helper will have to watch closely and estimate the launch angle for each throw. Here is one method you can try: Hold one arm out horizontally and use the other arm to try to match the launch angle that you saw. You can have a helper use a protractor to measure the angle between your arms.
- If there is wind, note the wind speed and direction in your notebook. (Make a diagram like Figure 5 and show the direction of the wind.)
- If you clearly made a mistake on the throw (for example, if the release was way off the center line) then do not include it in your results.
- Repeat step 5 at least nine more times, making a total of at least ten good throws thrown from the horizontal angle.
- Try your best to throw with similar arm motion and speed, and impart a similar spin on the Frisbee each time. You want to have the same release point so that your arm is directed along the center line for each launch.
- For each throw, be sure to measure and record the results.
- Repeat steps 5-6 but try throwing the Frisbee with two different positive and two different negative angles (refer to Figures 3 and 4 for an explanation of what these angles mean). Make at least ten good throws at each of the four of these launch angles.
- To measure the effect of launch angle on Frisbee flight, you will need to try your best to keep all other aspects of the flight the same, as described in step 6a. The one thing you want to vary is the launch angle.
- For each throw, be sure to measure and record the results.
- When you are done collecting your data, average your results (the distance and direction) for each launch angle.
- Do you see a consistent relationship between launch angle and flight direction?
- Is there a relationship between launch angle and distance?
- Think of ways for showing your results (both the average and the scatter in the data) using a diagram like Figure 5 above.
- Can you explain your results in terms of the aerodynamic forces on the Frisbee?

- What happens if you include the complication of wind in the equation? How will the flight of the Frisbee® be affected by throwing into the wind? Across the wind? With the wind? How will launch angle change the flight in each of these conditions?
- Compare Frisbee® flight with flight of an Aerobie (open ring flying disc). What differences do you notice? Can you explain them in terms of aerodynamic forces?

What was the most important thing you learned?
I have learned the concept of aerodynamics, its purpose and how we use it every day. I feel that this project is very important and interesting. Anyone who will do this project needs, some serious and advanced math skills otherwise you will have one of the hardest problems in your life. I learned that the hard way.
What problems did you encounter?
I encountered many problems, mostly on how to figure out the math at the very end. This project can become difficult and very confusing on many occasions. This project can confuse you and have you put some false or incorrect information. This project will force you to do some serious research on the smallest concepts. Last, this project will have you go on some extremely complex websites that will take time to understand
Can you suggest any improvements or ideas?
I wish they would give a formula or some other way of solving the formula or math equation easily instead of leaving you to do it yourself. If you don't say there is any type of way solving it, your science teacher will yell at you in front of the class, mine did.
Overall, how would you rate the quality of this project?
What is your enthusiasm for science after doing your project?
Compared to a typical science class, please tell us how much you learned doing this project.

Will your child pick a winner? Find out with Gooey Louie.
A gross out game that kids will love, Gooey Louie sees them taking their turns to pull a bogie from Louie's hairy nose. They need to be careful though – if they pull the wrong one, Louie's eyes will pop out, his brain will explode and they lose.
This icky sticky game will give hours of fun and will distract them from picking their own noses!
