|How to embed in wordpress blog
Melvin George
Posted: Dec 1, 2011Total Posts: 1
Has anyone had any problems doing this? I'm a wordpress newbie, but I can embed youtube videos no problem, but the code from gigapan doesn't seem to work, even though it looks similiar. Is there a widget out there?

Neither the code generated from the embed wizard (available for embedding your own gigapans) or the code generated by the embed link on a gigapan's page seem to work at my WordPress site. Most troubling, if that code is added to a post that already has working embedded gigapans, it breaks those. Four out of the last five posts at http://fastie.net/ have gigapans embedded using three different types of code that all work. None of these is the syntax generated by the embed wizard.

G-brain: Google's simulated thinking computer system only has eyes for lolcats
- Richard Poplak
The Leaper – Jaguar's iconic mascot – has never been as apt a symbol of the marque's progress as now. And no car epitomises the brand's fast-forward momentum as succinctly as the F-Type sports car. Launched in convertible form last year, the F-Type has now been joined by the tin-top F-Type Coupé – arguably an even more arresting machine. DEON SCHOEMAN drives the Jaguar F-Type Coupé V6 S.
From Vorster to Botha, from Mbeki to Zuma, past and present South African leaders have all had to deal with the blowtorch criticism of Nobel Peace Prize winner and global icon Desmond Tutu. Tutu has been at the frontline of truth, peace and justice in this country for almost four decades. The South African premiere of the first-ever documentary on his life and contribution to democracy will be screened on Sunday, 7 September at Artscape in Cape Town. By MARIANNE THAMM.
The naming of Cape Town as the World Design Capital may have been met with cynicism in some circles, but if you took a peek at this month's Open Design Festival, you'd be forgiven for being swept away by it all. It's crammed full of exciting inventions and is, to borrow a phrase from the writer's children, 'kak cool'. And you don't have much time left to experience it, so you'd better get cracking. By MARELISE VAN DER MERWE.
Capetonians love to casually claim their culture capital status, but hate to have to actually own it. With more art, theatre and music than you could shake a fist at, the empty seats on any given night bear testament to that other side of Capetonian character…the infamously flakey 'RSVPossibly bru'. The fact is, if we want to be able to boast of the African avant-garde, we probably need to actually go to some of it every now and again. By CARLA LEVER.
I'm going to jump right in and say it - I loved this show so much that I'd go back again this evening. And the next night too. Cirque Éloize ID is the most infectious fun-filled show you can imagine. No, you can't even imagine it really, unless you're a world-class theatrical producer yourself. Which you aren't, so you really ought to book some tickets and if you have stroppy teenagers in the family, take them too. By LESLEY STONES.
The third Mini generation to make its appearance since the British brand became part of the BMW stable may have grown in size (again), but in dynamic terms, it still epitomises the cheeky adolescence of the truly tiny original. Besides, its underpinnings are so good that they'll soon be shared by some BMW models … DEON SCHOEMAN drives the enticingly chuckable, and highly entertaining, base-model Mini Cooper.
Two years after the killing of 34 miners at Marikana, no official memorial to the massacre has yet been established. Perhaps a state-sponsored memorial to state-sponsored violence can never be anything more than an expedient gesture. But in Cape Town this week, artists have brought the lives of those slain at Marikana into the city's genteel streets in anarchic, confronting ways. By REBECCA DAVIS.
As women's month passes most of us by, not really changing anything, one photographer is using her camera to capture the essence of South Africa's gay and trans women. Not to celebrate, no; but to connect, and to capture a slice of their history. And to prove that they're just like everyone else. By MARELISE VAN DER MERWE.
When Korean car maker Kia hired Peter Schreyer, and gave the affable, jazz-loving ex-Audi designer a clean sheet of paper, it changed the brand forever. Today's Kias are sleek and sexy machines, with a distinctive brand identity. The vehicle that heralded the Schreyer revolution was the Kia Sportage. DEON SCHOEMAN drives the recently updated version.
Porn and who gets to screen and watch it has always been a controversial issue in South Africa. In fact, this week the Cape High Court is hearing an application by the Justice Alliance of South Africa and two other organisations to have pay channel StarSat's licence revoked because it allegedly misrepresented the "type" of adult content it would screen. But who consumes porn in South Africa and where are they watching? By MARIANNE THAMM.
Right now, one of the motoring world's most desirable production cars is a small two-seater with a four-cylinder turbo engine and a dual-clutch gearbox. That may sound decidedly ordinary, but all doubts are dispelled when you see it in all its composite splendour. DEON SCHOEMAN drives the arresting Alfa Romeo 4C.
The North Gauteng High Court will today continue to hear closing arguments in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial. Yesterday saw Gerrie Nel conclude his arguments for the state, admitting that the evidence against Pistorius is mainly circumstantial, but in totality, sufficiently damning. Today is the last chance for the defence to argue that their client should escape a conviction for murder. By REBECCA DAVIS
It's almost the end of the road, folks. It's been a seemingly interminable journey, but today the closing arguments will be presented in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial. Lawyers for the state and the defence are now faced with the unenviable task of shaping thousands of pages of witness testimony into two compelling stories. One will tell the tale of a disabled, anxious man who believed it necessary to protect himself and his lover from threat. The other will tell the tale of an angry, trigger-happy narcissist who killed his girlfriend in a violent rage. Judge Thokozile Masipa has to pick one. By REBECCA DAVIS
Are the country's atheists any happier, better off or more conscious of issues than their religious brothers and sisters? While South Africa remains an overwhelmingly religious country, there are a fair number of atheists (and Jedi apparently) who move among us. Who are they, what do they get up to and how do they live? By MARIANNE THAMM.
About 40 years ago a handful of lucky South Africans managed to catch a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show just before the authorities banned it in the country. Back then, in Apartheid South Africa, the film was hugely transgressive. But does it still have meaning in the 21st century? MARIANNE THAMM took her children to see the stage production at the Fugard Theatre.
Forget the Department of Arts and Culture's #WearADoek campaign for Women's Month. It is the simplicity of a young woman who stripped naked and stood quietly below the six-metre-high bronze statue of Nelson Mandela in Sandton last week who captured local imagination. Braveheart, as the woman has been named, has in some way enabled women to "re-embody" our bodies in a space that is generally hostile, an issue which US feminist and activist Eve Ensler, currently in South Africa, has made her life's work. By MARIANNE THAMM.

The fear of bugs and insects is generally much greater than the reality of what you will encounter. However, tolerances differ widely from individual to individual. The temperate climate and high elevation of Tanzania's Northern Parks mean that insect concentrations are significantly less then other areas of Africa. Please be aware though that insects can be present in significant numbers depending upon your location and current weather patterns. This could pose to be an annoyance for some individuals.
Mosquitoes are present but they are generally not active during the day. The African Mosquito is most active from dusk to dawn. Flies can be more of a nuisance, especially when you're near the wildebeest migration. Flies are attracted to animals and the droppings of herd animals, so you don't get one without the other. You will undoubtedly know when you have found the larger migratory wildebeest herds (100,000 plus!)
Tsetse flies are worse than the average fly and they are mainly found in the woodlands, and their bite does hurt. There is no insect repellent that is effective against the tsetse fly. The best protection is to wear long sleeves, pants and socks and to roll the windows up when you are driving through a tsetse fly infested area. Additionally, dark blue and black colors attract tsetse flies and it is recommended not to wear these colors when game driving in tsetse areas. Tsetse flies require the thick bush and woodlands to breed and survive. The open plains of the Southern and Eastern Serengeti as well as the Ngorongoro Crater and the southern parts of the Central Serengeti are tsetse free. The highest concentrations of tsetse flies are found in Tarangire National Park and the Western Serengeti.
Please keep in mind that if it weren't for the tsetse fly, many of the parks and reserves in Tanzania would simply not exist in their current capacity. The tsetse fly is commonly referred to as the 'greatest conservationist in Africa'! The tsetse fly transmits a blood parasite that causes the 'sleeping sickness' in cattle but is very rarely transmitted to humans in East Africa. Wild animals are immune to this disease. The tsetse fly has inadvertently forced ranchers and their cattle out of areas like the Serengeti and Tarangire leaving these important refuges ecologically intact for use by their native and wild inhabitants.
Most people have no adverse reactions to tsetse flies but some individuals have an allergic reaction and the area around the bite mark swells and becomes itchy and irritated. Benadryl makes a product called the 'Benadryl Itch Relief Stick'. This handy little stick can relieve the itch of bites and is highly recommended.
Snakes are common throughout Africa but they are seldom encountered on safaris. There are a few python sightings reported in the trees that line Silale Swamp in Tarangire but that is the normal extent of snake sightings. The vast majority of tourists never see a snake while on safari.
Bumpy Roads
Please be aware that game driving can be very bumpy and may pose a problem for some individuals including those with back problems. Please inform us well in advance if you have any conditions that may be adversely affected by bumpy roads and we will plan accordingly. The most comfortable seat is the passenger seat at the front of the vehicle next to the driver-guide. This seat offers the smoothest ride and is highly recommended (especially on longer game drives) for those individuals experiencing discomfort due to poor road conditions.
The roads to and from Arusha/Kilimajaro leading up to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Gate were completed in December 2004 and are completely paved. However, the roads and tracks in the national parks and conservations areas are not paved. Many game drives (especially in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area) will be entirely off road/cross country. Game driving off road and on poor tracks, which are found in most areas, can be aggravating and exhausting for some individuals. This is compounded on longer game drives where you may be on rough roads for several hours at a time.
Game Drives and Transit Time
Please be aware that the majority of time on safari is spent in a vehicle game driving and wildlife viewing. Please advise us well in advance of any potential problems with long duration game drives and we will plan your itinerary accordingly and alert your driver of the situation in order to minimize any negative impact. Our private safaris are completely flexible and if need be we can shorten game drives and transit times, add additional flights and eliminate areas of rough terrain from your itinerary.
Even in the green season, dusty conditions can be aggravating while out on game drives. The Serengeti Plains are especially prone to dusty conditions due to the shallow soil base and lack of long grass roots. During the dry season, dusty conditions are significantly worse. Please be prepared for dusty conditions and let us know in advance if you're especially sensitive to dust and we will adjust your itinerary accordingly to help minimize any negative impacts.
Photography and video equipment may be especially prone to dusty conditions. It is a good idea to bring a bag that can be easily opened and completely sealed so you may store your equipment when not immediately needed. Bring a couple photo soft cloths to wipe dust from the lenses. Contact lens wearers may be especially sensitive. Please plan accordingly and bring an ample supply of lens lubricant.
Sun Burn
Tanzania resides just south of the equator. The strong equatorial sun combined with the fact that you are at elevation can lead to sunburn and sun poisoning quickly. The vehicles have a convertible canvas top, which means that you will be completely exposed when game viewing. You may of course quickly close the canvas top as needed. The canvas top may also be rolled back half way in order to provide shade for the first set of seats and sun for the back seats. It is important that you wear a hat and apply sun block frequently to all exposed areas.
Visitor Concentrations
The secret is out with Northern Tanzania and most of the general public is now aware that this area offers the very finest wildlife viewing in all of Africa. Tourists from all over the world are flocking to the famous northern safari circuit to enjoy its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife. Please note that high vehicle concentrations in many high use areas including the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater may pose an inconvenience. To combat this potential problem, we highly recommend early morning game drives and adventure game drives to some of the more remote areas of the Serengeti, which can be even more rewarding. Please keep in mind that by departing at 6.00am each morning, you will have most areas all to yourself until about 10.00am when the package tours begin. Our expert guides know many secret spots and strategies to get you off the beaten path and avoid vehicle concentrations. The Serengeti, in particular, is a massive park and there are plenty of areas where you will likely encounter not one other vehicle but rather an abundance of wildlife and beautiful pristine topography. Make sure to communicate to your driver-guide your interest in adventure and exploring the more remote areas.

The Troup Fire Department responded to a house fire Friday at approximately 5:00 p.m. The home is located in the 500 block of Ponsard
According to Troup Fire Captain Bobby Lamotte, no one was
home at the time of the blaze, but was called in by someone who had passed by the home.
Lamotte said several pets were inside the home during the
fire. According to Lamotte, many animals were rescued, but four died.
Through an investigation, Lamotte said the fire possibly
started from an electrical malfunction under the dishwasher. Lamotte said the
fire was contained in the laundry room and kitchen areas of the home.
The house is not a complete loss, but Lamotte said there is
smoke and heat damage.
There were no injuries in the fire.

Whether you're busy whipping up edible gifts, exhausted from all that shopping, or hosting your own amazing holiday party, here are several wonderful wintry cocktails to help you get into the spirit. Cheers to the season! Photos: Nicole Perry Bubbly Poinsettia What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The bubbly poinsettia is a Christmas-appropriate cocktail if there ever was one. Keep party guests guessing at the secret ingredient in this special drink. Spoiler alert: it's maraschino liqueur. Photo: Nicole Perry 1 / 25 Cranberry Mint Martini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Need a pick-me-up after a long day of food prep? This seasonal and festive cranberry martini should do the trick! Photo: Sarah Lipoff 2 / 25 Sparkling Bourbon Cocktail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bourbon and sparkling wine in one drink? It might sound odd, but trust us when we say you'll love the unexpected combo. Surprise guests with the cocktail recipe that's crispy and woodsy all at once. Photo: Anna Monette Roberts 3 / 25 Mulled Manhattan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A mulled Manhattan is a great cold alternative to mulled wine. It's got the same spiced flavors plus a kick of bourbon! Photo: Susannah Chen 4 / 25 Eggnog Martini Try a twist on the classic eggnog this year, and class it up with an eggnog martini. It's creamy, rich, and sings of spices from cinnamon to nutmeg — and it's all topped off with a boozy graham-cracker-crust rim. 6 / 25 Euphoria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To balance out that gluttonous holiday diet, there's something called Euphoria. And there's only one way to describe the elixir with gin, citrus, and earthy leaves of sage: glorious. Photo: Nicole Perry 6 / 25 Ginger Sidecar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ginger, brandy, and maple syrup imbue the flavors of cold weather on a classic, war-era libation. It won't rouse any raised eyebrows, but do prepare yourself for a night full of compliments. Photo: Nicole Perry 7 / 25 Ginger, Mint, and Pomegranate Vodka Cocktail The combination of flavors in a ginger, mint, and pomegranate vodka cocktail makes for a seasonally appropriate libation. And the bubbles make it all the more celebratory. 8 / 25 Pear Essence Cosmopolitan What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's no perennial quite like the cosmopolitan, though its cranberry-flavored ambrosia is particularly apropos at the holiday table. Add a timely seasonal element by incorporating fresh Anjou pears. Photo: Susannah Chen 9 / 25 Ramos Gin Fizz What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A light and frothy Ramos gin fizz may be the perfect cocktail to accompany all your holiday feasting. Photo: Nicole Perry 11 / 25 Cranberry Margarita What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Margaritas in the Winter? Por qué no? Especially when it's a festive cranberry recipe designed to be shaken in large batches and get the party started. Photo: Nicole Perry 11 / 25 Pumpkin Irish Coffee What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you find yourself still craving Thanksgiving flavors come December, a pumpkin Irish coffee ought to set you straight! Photo: Susannah Chen 12 / 25 Isle of Pines What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It doesn't get more holiday-sounding than this Isle of Pines cocktail. Pomegranate juice gives the drink its deep maroon hue, while white rum gives it a kick. Photo: Susannah Chen 13 / 25 Apple Cidercar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gather your nearest and dearest for a round of Apples to Apples, and make the game even more interesting with the addition of an elegant apple cider and brandy provision served up in a sugar-rimmed martini glass. Photo: Nicole Perry 14 / 25 Cran-Limoncello What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cue the holiday by taking house-made limoncello and mixing it with tart cranberry juice and a splash of seltzer for some extraspecial cheer. Photo: Nicole Perry 15 / 25 Cognac Sparkler What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This unusual cocktail is great, because unlike other cocktails, it's a sparkler that doesn't call for Champagne. Instead, it makes use of cognac and sparkling apple cider — and what could be more seasonal than that? Photo: Nicole Perry 16 / 25 Honeyed French 75 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Love the French 75 cocktail but looking for something with even more punch? Try this version that's sweetened with honey and has twice as much gin and still goes down almost too easily. Photo: Nicole Perry 17 / 25 Hot Buttered Rum If the weather outside is frightful, then warm up from the inside out with a steaming mug of hot buttered rum. The spiced butter is the key to this exceptionally delicious variation! 18 / 25 Pumpkin Mojito What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You love frozen pumpkin and mojitos, so why not put two and two together? Muddle spiced rum with pumpkin, brown sugar, and mint for a twist on the trademark cocktail this holiday season. Photo: Nicole Perry 19 / 25 Gingersnap Cocktail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't let the dainty name of this gingersnap cocktail fool you. Smooth and spicy, this warming tipple is perfect for sipping throughout the holiday season. Photo: Nicole Perry 20 / 25 Sage Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Keep the festivities fun — but not out of hand — by serving a wine-infused cocktail instead, like this rosé sangria with sage leaves. Photo: Nicole Perry 21 / 25 Black Russian What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sip on a sultry black Russian while you celebrate the holidays. Its combination of Kahlúa and vodka is simple and satisfying. Photo: Susannah Chen 22 / 25 The Livorno What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nothing says holiday like a sparkling Prosecco cocktail! This simple sipper recipe brings out more of the bubbles, providing extra texture and a richness to the overall flavor. Photo: Susannah Chen 23 / 25 Cherry Bounce Old-Fashioned What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Add a little fruity pep to your old fashioned this Christmas with a splash of cherry bounce. And if you're feeling particularly ambitious, then make the cherry liqueur yourself, and give it as a gift to your friends and family! Photo: Katie Sweeney 24 / 25 The Apple Cocktail What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We dare you not to smile while sipping this rustic, cozy cocktail straight out of a juicy apple. Leave out the alcohol for a kid-friendly version!

---- — PLATTSBURGH — More than 475 volunteers have signed on for the third-annual Day of Caring.
More than 75 projects are planned throughout Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, United Way Director of Development Kathy Snow said.
"The Day of Caring is very special," she said.
The event, set for Saturday, is a partnership among the United Way of the Adirondack Region, the North Country Regional Volunteer Center, Project HELP at SUNY Plattsburgh and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau.
Georgia-Pacific Operations Manager Tim Boshart said this is the third year a crew from the company plans to pitch in.
They have been able to completely Sheetrock a Habitat for Humanity home in each of the past two years, which gives them a great sense of pride.
"The people who participate benefit as much as the people we help," he said.
Vikki Schiebel, Day of Caring coordinator for Project HELP at SUNY Plattsburgh, said more than 400 students will be participating.
It's a great way for them to show they do give back to the community, she said.
Michael Cashman, coordinator for student activities and volunteerism at SUNY Plattsburgh, said the Day of Caring provides a full spectrum of community service.
"This is an opportunity for you to build and nourish this community," he said.
United Way Outreach Coordinator Larry Pickreign said the Day of Caring brings together businesses and community members to support their neighbors and nonprofits.
"It's not just for one person, one community," he said. "It really makes me proud to be a member of this community."
Last year, the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau helped coordinate efforts to bring a group of SUNY Plattsburgh students to Ausable Chasm to help clean up damage left from the remnants of Tropical Storm Irene, said Marketing and Communications Assistant Amber Parliament.
Snow said previous events have provided assistance for senior citizens, as well as museums, libraries and nursing homes.
And the event has grown every year.
Those who can't volunteer can still help by making a food donation, Snow said. There are dropoff points at Sam's Club, Price Chopper and Hannaford's in Plattsburgh and, in Malone, at Wal-Mart, Price Chopper, Yando's Kinney Drugs, Walgreens, Citizen Advocates, Maplefields, the Chamber of Commerce and American Legion Post 219.
Staff will be at the United Way office today and Saturday to provide information on where people can go to help. Call 563-0028 after 8 a.m. for additional information.
Snow said the Day of Caring wouldn't work without the tremendous network of volunteers.
"A volunteer doesn't get paid because they're worthless," she said. "They don't get paid because they're priceless."

Keep Amber in Cabot
As most of you may already know, my mom is a mean whore who is trying to make me enroll in North Little Rock (East Campus) next semester. I know for a fact that a lot of my friends don't want me to leave Cabot, because I am that delightful to be around. Which leads to why I am starting this petition. It may not help but it's always worth a try. If I can get enough signatures then maybe my mom will realize how many people don't want me to leave and she will let me stay in Cabot. Lame, I know, but it's my last resort.

When I retired a friend of mine gave me an old PAM electric wall clock with the "yellow pages" logo on the dial. Its been running just fine for several years but yesterdayI noticed it was running backwards.
Q. Is this a good thing
Ron, can't load your link either
This clock is 8-seconds slow comparing it to my atomic clocks time. Could not rely on this to snipe bids.
Then came Bronson
Seems like they did that a lot when I was in high school. It was not good.
A lot of the electric clocks had motors that would run either way and it was random which way they ran when plugged in. They put in a little latch mechanism that would stop it if it ran backwards at start up. If it ran against the stop, it would then pick up running the other way. Some times when they get old (probably gummed up) they will occasionally reverse themselves at random then bump the latch and start going frontwards again. Not obvious anything is wrong, but they start loosing time. If you do enough monkeying with the latch, you can make them run backwards.

ZEBULON — Police on Friday were searching for a man suspected of committing an armed robbery Sept. 5 at Sally Beauty Supply on East Gannon Avenue.
Zebulon police responded to the call about 7:30 p.m. and were advised by store employees a man entered the store and posed as a shopper before producing a small black handgun and demanding money from a clerk.
No shots were fired and no on was injured in the incident. The suspect made off with less than $500 and exited through the front door, according to police Chief Tim Hayworth.
Aside from the suspect, Hayworth said there were four people in the store at the time of the robbery – two customers and two employees.
"There were two people that came in the store at the same time the suspect was in there, but the guy was pretty quiet about it and they didn't really know what was going on," Hayworth said.
The suspect is said to be a heavy-set black man with shoulder-length dreadlocks. He was wearing khaki shorts, a black shirt, a dark baseball cap and sunglasses at the time of the robbery. Store employees could not provide an estimate of the suspect's age, height or weight, according to police.
Hayworth on Friday said detectives were working an angle on the case, but cited the open investigation in declining to release specific details. He said this type of crime requires "good old-fashioned, nose-to-the-ground police work."
"We put out a (be-on-the-lookout) of anyone who's seen anything, talked to customers and the employees," Hayworth said. "You try to match suspect descriptions with other crimes within a 25-mile radius. If so, do they have any evidence, any witnesses.
"We try to get it out on Crimestoppers and in the news so that someone might see a description and say, 'Hey, I might know someone who fits that.'"
Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to call the Zebulon Police Department at 919-823-1818 or Eastern Wake Crimestoppers at 919-366-2746.

Rigging, drape, and starcloth specialist Blackout were instrumental in providing the facilities for a star-studded event held in early June in the National Museum in Barcelona, Spain (MNAC).
The Laureus World Sports Awards Welcome Party for 800 VIP guests from the realms of sports, cinema, and music. Some of the famous people in attendance were His Majesty Juan Carlos the King of Spain, actors Terri Hatcher and Morgan Freeman, and Edwin Moses, who represented the sports interest.
"Blackout provided StarLED starcloth and new pipe and drape system, which were instrumental in providing the flexibility needed to achieve another dimension within the confines of the space," says designer Adrian Smith. "They also helped to create a setting for both formal and informal seating areas to suit the various moods that we invoked."
The use of Blackout's stock truss assemblies was also pivotal in the creation of a large a heart shape with bright red casement sheeting. This was flown over the dance floor to represent the heart of Barcelona.
The unique design of the MNAC building created both challenges and opportunities for Smith. His intention was to create a strong identity for the party, and central to this was a large refreshments bar created in the style of Gaudi with the rest of the installation radiating from there and emulating the style of other great Spanish artists such as Dali, Picasso, and Miro.
Kevin Monks, project manager at Blackout says, "We have worked with Adrian before on some high profile events such as at the Cannes and Venice Film Festival's and other music events in Barcelona and Dublin. It was good to have been involved in creating such a successful event especially within such visually stunning and unusual surroundings."

In 2009, Arnold van Bruggen and Rob Hornstra started work on a mammoth project. They set themselves the five-year goal of documenting the explosive region around the southern Russian city of Sochi, where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held. From the little-known, renegade country Abkhazia to the south of Sochi, to notorious republics such as Chechnya and Dagestan on the other side of the mountains. They form the contrasting region around Sochi, which is characterised by poverty, separatism, terrorism, mass beach tourism and the most expensive Winter Games ever organised.
The Sochi Project was first presented in 2009 at the Fotofestival Naarden (NL), where it was explained that the project would be partly financed through private donors. This was a unique concept in Europe that would be widely followed in the years thereafter.
The Sochi Project attracted attention from the start, not only for its unique funding model but also the recognition it received. In early 2010, the first annual publication 'Sanatorium' won the New York Photo Book Award. The Dutch Canon Award, World Press Photo Award, Sony World Photography Award and Magnum Expression Award and others followed.
Corruption, violence, terrorism and tourism are recurring themes in the various stories within The Sochi Project's geographical context. Completed stories are published in the form of interim books and exhibitions. Six books have appeared since 2009. The seventh book, a comprehensive account of the roots of the continuing violence in the North Caucasus, will be available early next year.
This presentation at Paris Photo is one of the final steps towards The Sochi Project's ultimate goal: informing a broad audience about the tumultuous region where the 2014 Winter Olympics will take place. The project will act as a realistic counterpart to the facade that the Russian authorities will inevitably erect around the event.
The final book, 'The Sochi Project: An Atlas of War and Tourism', will be published by Aperture and presented in the autumn of 2013 during the first major retrospective of The Sochi Project in FoMu Antwerp. In the same period a second exhibition will open in Winzavod Museum for Contemporary Art in Moscow. The presentation in Paris focuses mainly on recent work from The Sochi Project and shows some of the project's contrasting central themes.

Now when most critics/jerks talk of guilty pleasures, they're usually just patting themselves on the back for their oh so outré taste, lack of middlebrow kowtowing, and their astonishing, unprecedented ability to watch films like Earthquake, Nuns on the Run, or the oeuvre of Pia Zadora with above-it-all condescension. When forced to trot out the term "guilty pleasure," as I have been on occasion, I'm actually so mortified by my own number-one choice that to even admit it would make my head explode with guilt. Would I lose friends? Am I falling just one smidge too far into a gay stereotype? Can I safely lay the blame at the feet of my parents, both Jewish, both musical theater followers, both baby boomers, and therefore both unapologetic Barbra Streisand fans? Yes, it's with all due shame that I admit (and my Region 2 DVD, safely tucked away behind my Criterion and Woody Allen DVDs, can attest) that Yentl brings me extraordinarily guilty pleasure. (Second horrific admittance of the day: Someone make Miss Saigon: the Movie....seriously.)
In any case, rather than delve into the whys and hows, and instead of detailing the ludicrousness of the plot (after her father dies, Streisand's Yentl dresses herself as a boy in 19th century Eastern Europe so that she can study Jewish theology, her one true passion), the shimmering gorgeousness of Michel Legrand's songs (I have no guilt about that), and the insanely self-flattering, self-promotional, self-satisfying nature of Babs' project, let's keep things on the surface, shall we? Since Streisand is notoriously in control of every aspect of every corner of every fragment of her productions, there's no doubt that for this, her 1983 directorial debut, she had final say about this poster design. And what do we see, when we look deep into the abstract recesses of this difficult to ascertain work? Oh yes, that's right: it's Barbra Streisand's enormous head gravely staring up, taking over the entire frame, her famously exaggerated features ("hello gorgeous...well....kinda....well, not really") and prominent cheekbones poking out of the shadows like some mythic gorgon. "Nothing's impossible," it reads in capped letters at the top; and indeed, it's true, especially if you're Barbra Streisand.
Of course, below this death mask is the most telling point of all: "A film with music." By God, not a musical, in case you were thinking that...no, this was more than a decade into the post-Star!, post-Paint Your Wagon demise of the musical, so the parsing of words here is pretty transparent. Though, truthfully, this is no traditional musical: all forty-eight-or-so songs featured in the movie are sung, in soliloquy, either as elaborate internal voice over or as sheltered, hushed alone time, by Streisand; even though she cast Broadway belter Mandy Patinkin as her bushy-bearded love interest, she refused to allow him a single musical peep. You've come for the Streisand, and you get the Streisand. Truth in advertising.
Side note: Is there a Yentl resurgence going on? Just last night, during a preview screening of the upcoming Sundance-celebrated Son of Rambow, I noticed in the film a theater marquee (not proudly) displaying the title of Streisand's film. I think it was meant as some sort of a punch line, as the theater had previously been showing the slightly more testosteroned First Blood. Regardless, I'll take Streisand's brave journey into boyhood over Stallone's jungle warfare any day of the week; and trust me, Babs has got a far more piercing, infinitely more sustained scream, at the end of Yentl. She doesn't need a machine gun to amplify it.
Dan Callahan | April 21, 2008 9:35 AM
I can't take Streisand post-1973 or so. But I do own a box set of her 60's TV specials. I don't keep Babs hidden behind other DVD's, as you do, but literally in the closet. Under wrapping paper, light bulbs, etc. Just in case anyone, like, looked in my closet....
Great Teri Garr piece, too--(I laughed out loud when you mentioned the moment when she looks skectically at her own breasts).
robbiefreeling | April 18, 2008 8:08 AM
Hey, Burbanked...thanks for the linkage. With enough attention to this particular post, I can either breathe a sigh of relief that I'm not alone or I can recede even further into my deep dark Streisand hole. Look for Prince of Tides to come up sometime in the near future...

The Environmental Protection Agency's estimate of the costs associated with implementing numeric nutrient criteria in Florida's waterways was significantly lower than many stakeholders expected. This discrepancy was due, in part, to the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency's analysis considered only the incremental cost of reducing nutrients in waters it considered "newly impaired" as a result of the new criteria-not the total cost of improving water quality in Florida. The incremental approach is appropriate for this type of assessment, but the Environmental Protection Agency's cost analysis would have been more accurate if it better described the differences between the new numeric criteria rule and the narrative rule it would replace, and how the differences affect the costs of implementing nutrient reductions over time, instead of at a fixed time point. Such an analysis would have more accurately described which pollutant sources, for example municipal wastewater treatment plants or agricultural operations, would bear the costs over time under the different rules and would have better illuminated the uncertainties in making such cost estimates.

Staff Writer
NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco has made a series of policy commitments to relieve hardships and improve opportunity for the embattled groundfishing industry.
She also outlined steps her agency expects to take quickly to reach the conclusion that an "affected group" of fishermen warrants disaster assistance.
The commitments nearly complete a punch list of needs outlined in a letter to Lubchenco last week by U.S. Sen. John Kerry.
In a prepared statement, he described Lubchenco's actions as "a down payment" of "welcome steps" on the path to the disaster declaration that the state has been seeking since last fall.
Lubchenco's letter explained in detail how she — on behalf John Bryson, the new Commerce secretary — intended to process the documentation and decide whether at least a portion of the industry has been so harmed by economic conditions and government policies that emergency help is warranted.
The talk of a disaster declaration echoes a lengthy debate in which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief has defended the catch share approach to fisheries operations and management against claims that it creates a few satisfied winners, larger and better capitalized operations, while eliminating a growing number of smaller boats.
Lubchenco's letter is conditioned on the findings in two as yet unreleased economic research studies of the performance of the fleet during the first year of catch shares in New England — studies showing decreased quota or fishing opportunities due to tight statutory rebuilding deadlines for less than healthy stocks.
Her letter, however, indicated the focus is on a limited declaration that qualifies only a subsection of the fleet for emergency economic aid.
The first request — from Gov. Deval Patrick and Congressmen Barney Frank and John Tierney last winter — sought $21 million for the entire groundfishing industry, which is undergoing consolidation and job loss as catch share trading favors the best capitalized businesses and biggest boats.
But Gary Locke, then the Commerce secretary and now the ambassador to China, denied the request, asserting the data was not new and didn't make the case for an economic disaster finding.
Coming to Gloucester
Meanwhile, Lubchenco and Locke's successor, John Bryson, has accepted Kerry's invitation to visit Massachusetts for fact-finding. And Lubchenco said she expects to come to Gloucester, likely in December.
Those plans drew a positive response Friday from Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk, who — with a growing number of officials calling for Lubchenco's ouster, said she would rather see the NOAA chief come to Gloucester to get a firsthand sense of the economic problems her catch share system is causing. A NOAA report issued earlier this month noted that Gloucester has lost 21 boats — and their related jobs — leaving an estimated 75 still fishing.
"I am pleased Dr. Lubchenco has accepted my invitation to revisit Gloucester," Kirk told the Times on Friday. "I believe it is in the city's best interest to work cooperatively with the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA."
At an Oct. 3 hearing of the Senate Commerce Committee that Kerry organized, Paul Diodati, director of NOAA's marine fisheries, gave a preview of the studies referred to by Lubchenco when, in his written testimony, he said a working group of about 32 South Shore fishermen, associated in Sector 10 — a cooperative working under catch shares — was experiencing extreme hardship, with landings just 60 percent of the previous year's due to the catch share system.
"It is our conclusion from our case study," Diodati wrote, "that in Sector 10, the catch share system caused significant consolidation of revenues among fewer vessels, and has caused severe economic strain among the majority of fishermen, most of whom are small vessel owners."
Lubchenco also referred to a socio-economic report of the NOAA Science Center last week which showed that overall the New England industry was "doing marginally better," but negative trends continued "within certain segments of the fishery."
She said she expected getting the two state studies next week, along with a "fishery disaster request" based on all three studies — the Science Center's and the two that are now in final editing in Diodati's office.
"Once we receive the request," she continued, "I have instructed the NOAA team to work with the commonwealth to assess, as quickly as possible, the revised request, and, if it is warranted, to identify the affected group of the fishery, quantify the extent of their losses, and develop a plan for the uses of any relief funds that might be appropriated."
Meanwhile, Lubchenco also announced a willingness to liberalize the carryover limit of uncaught allocation from one year to another to beyond the present 10 percent.
Among the internal management actions considered in her letter, Lubchenco also announced a willingness to "discuss" the plight of two fishermen whose businesses have been harmed through snafus in internal and external communications at NOAA.
Kerry had taken up the cause of Jim Keding of Plymouth and Kevin Scola of Marshfield and concluded that NOAA mistakes have brought them economic calamity.

Gore Bike Wear Long Sleeve Base Layer $55.95
Dial in your cool weather kit.
One reason that it's more difficult to get out and ride during the winter months is that it's more difficult for your body to maintain an ideal temperature. This increases fatigue and makes riding more strenuous. The Gore bike Wear Functional thermo Base Layer helps your body maintain that temperature more efficiently to make the miles slide by more easily.
The key performance function of the Thermo Base Layer is moisture management. Your body has a much more difficult time regulating its temperature when your skin is wet. The Thermo Base Layer fits like a second skin to increase moisture-management efficiency. The combination of an internal hydrophobic fabric (100% polyester)with an external hydrophilic fabric (100% polyester) pulls moisture away from your body to keep your skin dry and aid in temperature regulation.
Gore designed the Thermo Base Layer with as few seams as possible, since they cause irritation. Where seams were necessary it used flatlock seams, which cause less chafing than the traditional variety. Finally, Gore designed the WS Thermo with an extra long back to give you full coverage in the seated position.
The Gore Bike Wear Functional Thermo Base Layer comes in White or Black. It's available in sizes Small to XX-Large.
- Extra-long back won't expose your backside when you're hunched deep in the drops

Decent base layer

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this Gore base layer specifically because I think the black version looks cool. I have worn this underneath my Assos Uno top when the temperatures started slightly dropping in the early fall and I have also worn it underneath my Assos Tiburu jacket for some extra warmth in slightly-colder intermediate conditions.
I ordered this Gore top in size small as well, hoping it would be nice and tight like my Assos garments. It is very tight. My only concern is the overall quality of the materials and stitching on this top. It appears to be fairly well-made, but the stitching could be better, especially around the cuffs, where a few threads have come loose. This top is very tight, while not being quiiiite elastic enough to facilitate with removal after your ride is finished. Sometimes when I put it on or take it off, I will feel a tiny thread snap somewhere. So, I try to be gentle with it... and so far, so good.

I have this in the Lady's version. They don't really stretch, and run rather 'smallish'; I wonder if the next size up would fit you better in this line. I agree, Gore could do with some quality control in the manufacture of their products, but overall, their products are very effective...and in some cases, superior to most others (GoreTex, and Windstopper).
Maybe next time, try a size up, see if it fits better....

I had a problem with the tight stitching in the cuff of a Gore LS jersey. I could hear threads breaking & then the seam popped. But it wasn't unravelling & jersey was plenty usable. When spring came, I called Gore & sent it in on their suggestion with little hope. To my surprise, not only did they quickly warranty it, but they gave me a substantial upgrade for free!!! Went from a "power" jersey to the
& I love that xenon so jersey!!

The Word: Justin Bieber hung out in a Brazilian brothel
Hey, gross. Justin Bieber, not satisfied with disgusting the world with his public urination and bar fights, is now reportedly consorting with prostitutes.
Biebs is currently in South America, and during a stop in Brazil he swung by Centaurus, an upscale brothel, according to Page Six. The pop star and a friend hung out for several hours inside, then left with two women.
Bieber's security team, who must hate their jobs very, very much, tried to get rid of the waiting paparazzi by spraying them with water and begging them not to take pictures. The paparazzi demurred, so Bieber's team brought him out of the brothel under a sheet. Unfortunately, his disguise as Casper the Horny Ghost was foiled by the tattoo visible on his wrist.
Kind of mystifying why he'd pay for it, isn't it? Justin could presumably get girls for free any time he wants. Maybe he's in the market for something specific. Or maybe he woke up this week and thought, "Hmm, I haven't done anything repugnant for a while. Better get on that."
Actually, it hasn't been that long at all: According to Page Six, a Panamanian prostitute claims that Justin paid her $500 for sex last week.

Palihouse has taken its modern brand to the beach and I can't wait to see the full hotel design when it opens this summer. Palihouse Santa Monica is a 36-room beach lodge in a Spanish Colonial Revival-style building, which has been deemed a historic landmark by the City of Santa Monica.
At Palihouse Santa Monica, tastemakers and world travelers now have the chance to stay in a residential style dwelling without have to compromise on location, style, or amenities. This prime location is the perfect hybrid of boutique hotel and luxury residence that is sure to be an experience in itself.
We've only gotten a quick peek into the rooms but I can tell this place is going to be great. The mixture of modern elements, pattern, and bold pops of color combine to create a room full of interest. Modern table lamps are always a great way to define the character in a room. When you feel like a change swapping out your table lamps can make your room take on a whole new feeling.

The original vanity was given a fresh coat of beautiful French gray paint and bright new porcelain knobs. Mixing the industrial barstool, cork flooring and modern wallpaper with this vintage element creates a timeless look.
The vintage wall sconce is like the cherry on top of this beautiful vanity. Modern wall sconces add so much character into your room and picking on that is unexpected will give your modern bathroom or modern vanity that wow factor.

I'm ready to sit down in the new Palihouse Santa Monica and daydream about world travels and life experiences while sipping a hot cup of tea. It's this combination of old and new that will give you a nostalgic feeling and something to write home about.

Crystal chandeliers have been a thing of the past, are a thing of the present and I think will easily be a thing of the future. A chandelier is such a classic piece when paired with a modern space, beauty happens!
I remember starting a few years back, everyone wanted a crystal chandelier. Mostly to decorate their entryway, child's room, dining room and even laundry room with. The key is mixing the chandelier with the right ambience. The space that you can make the biggest impact with is the dining space. Above we see a very rustic dining space decorated with a large, dainty chandelier. There's contrast so it works!
Now this room gives me goose-bumps! The art collection alone is stunning. Throw in modern furniture and add that magnificent chandelier and you've created a picture perfect space. I'm sure at night, the chandelier gives off quite the twinkle lights.
Here is another rustic space, prettified with a crystal chandelier. This time the owner went with more of a brass look, which I appreciate next to all of those warm wood tones. It also pops against an all white room, along with the art.
Here's a couple pretty options.

When it comes to decorating, larger scale pieces seem to be the favorite. They add drama, fill up spaces and give the feeling that you get what you paid for. But, I think it's the little things that really make the space.
The little things are the very details that make a house a home. They are the pieces that hold our memories and add a finishing touch. And although these accessory pieces may be small in size or stature, they are often the very things that tell a big story. After all, isn't it the accessories that make an outfit? The same concept goes for decorating a space. A crystal candelabra on a mantle works the same as sparkly chandelier earrings do to an outfit.
Small Glacier Glass White Vase, Fuller Clear Glass Document Box, Clear Crystal Taper Candle Holder, Nambe Movie Vertical Glass Photo Frame, Dark Smoke Hand-Blown Glass Bottle Vase
The great thing about accessories is that they can be added as a finishing touch or they can be the very thing to build an entire room around. Little things are often picked up on a whim while shopping, but they can also be items that are well thought out and planned for. I like to use accessories that not only look pretty also have meaning or serve a purpose.
A few ideas for accessories are:
• A frame that holds a photo of a loved one or one of your most cherished days
• A bowl that holds seashells from a favorite vacation
• A candle holder which lights up the room
• A box or tray that gathers and collects favorite or special objects
• A vase filled with flowers (either received or bought by yourself to brighten your day and your space)
After all, it's the little things that hold our memories and make our homes a place in which to create new ones.

Of Monsters And Men is group of five daydreamers from Iceland whose dreams actually came true! Their music is uplifting and creates that perfect sound that makes you want to run around and sing at the top of your lungs! With Coachella Music Festival coming up this weekend, they are one of the many bands I am excited to see! I'm sure you all have heard their #1 song Little Talks off their latest album My Head Is An Animal and you can watch the video below just in case you're not sure!

The collection of objects seem as if you found them on the beach, in the mountains, or forest during your childhood discoveries and is mixed with current modern elements. A simple modern sofa is a great grounding element for eclectic design and allows the shape and texture of the other elements to stand out like sculptural art. The feeling is rich like the instruments behind the smooth voice of lead singer Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir in Of Monster And Men.
These lyrics are perfect and I hope if you get the chance to check them out at Coachella you do. And most importantly, I hope you get to play outside like when you were young, full of life and full of love!

I adore this modern design! The gray with the various shades of pinks and patterns is kind of fantastic. I especially love the mix of styles, very eclectic and chic!
I love the mid-century style of this chair (below), and unlike a lot of mid-century furniture, it actually looks comfortable! A pink lamp would be perfect along side it. I think any one of these would look amazing in any given space with this chair. The shade of the pink lamps goes just perfectly with the gray chair and they are both solid colors so they are easy to dress up even more.
Annabelle Chair
1. Rose Apothocary Table Lamp 2. Pink Robert Abbey Lamp 3. Roso Ovo Table Lamp
The problem is, which to choose? The first lamp has a really interesting shape but is simple enough I think it would be just enough to add character to the room.
The second lamp is right up my alley. The faceted look is so trendy and cool and I love it! But again, it is simple enough I think it would work really well with the chair and the room they would both go in.
Now for option number three. This lamp is pretty and simple. I think it could look fantastic with some decorative bowls or vintage items around it. And the chair, you could dress it up with a throw or a pillow or two.
The options are endless! But the real question is, which lamp goes best with your style?! All three lamps have a similar color and aesthetic, but the final decision lies with you...

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis has said concealed carry is another component to combat crime in the city, but Governor Pat Quinn continues to let the bill sit on his desk.
Because of the governor's inaction, the public is unsure what is legal. Mayor Ardis says that puts pressure on law enforcement to make decisions state leaders can not.
State's attorneys in Peoria, McLean and Tazewell counties will not prosecute concealed carry until the law is clear. Mayor Ardis agrees.
"This was not a decision made in a vacuum," said Ardis. "The state's attorneys, police chiefs and sheriffs talked about this, the best way to really uphold the law as they see it and to do what they need to keep the community safe and I think they've done that."
Illinois is the only state without a concealed carry law.
Governor Quinn is under a court-ordered July 9 deadline to sign concealed carry legislation. If he does not, concealed carry takes effect without any regulations.

Vandals rip lifebelts to bits in 'moronic' attack at Witney Lake
Updated 10:44am Wednesday 18th June 2014 in News By Dan Robinson, Reporter covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425483
VANDALS who damaged life-saving equipment next to a lake where a man drowned last year have been called "moronic" for putting lives at risk.
Two buoyancy aids at Witney Lake, are believed to have been ripped apart by partying youngsters on Saturday night.
It comes after James Bartlett, 37, was found dead in the lake by police divers last August after going for a swim.
Witney Town Council facilities manager Claire Swan said: "It could come at a huge cost to human lives if a child falls into a lake and there's no buoyancy aid.
"We think they are completely unusable.
"That lake worries me to death because it has such a strong undercurrent and it's not safe for swimming. This type of behaviour is stupid and moronic."
The council believes the buoyancy aids, costing £187 each, were damaged by youngsters on Saturday night.
Town ranger Jim Casson spotted the aids attached to a wooden raft in the lake, which is between Ducklington and the A40, and reported it to the council.
Since starting the job at the end of April, he has helped to draw attention to antisocial behaviour in the town.
In May the council received reports of 10 incidents from Mr Casson and residents, while in the first weekend of June there were seven incidents.
Reports included bollards and bird feeders in Tower Hill Cemetery being stolen, broken glass next to the lake, benches in Raleigh Park play area damaged and a football pitch in The Leys damaged by barbecues.
The council estimates the two months of damage cost up to £3,000 to repair, nearly half what the council spent £6,700 on repairs caused by vandalism in six months between May and November last year.
Mr Casson said at least half a dozen trees in The Leys recreation ground, King George V playing field and Burwell Estate could be killed after bark was extensively stripped from them.
He said: "It's a very needless kind of action and makes you wonder why people do such things.
"We thought it might be down to animals when I first saw it but it's happened in a few different places."
The latest bout of antisocial behaviour comes after thieves stole flowers planted by the Witney Trefoil Guild at Tower Hill Cemetery to commemorate the centenery of the First World War.
Town councillor Chrissie Curry said she was "absolutely appalled" at the level of vandalism.
She said: "What kind of mindset would make someone go and desecrate a cemetery? It's reaching a new low.
"The money could be spent on new things for the town like play areas but instead it is being used for repairs and replacements because of mindless vandalism."

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
The Indiana Heart Gallery, a compelling exhibit featuring portraits of children in need of adoptive families, is stopping in Greensburg.
The Gallery will be on display at the Decatur County Family YMCA March 23 to April 6.
The Indiana Department of Child Services uses the Heart Gallery to help raise awareness about children in foster care in need of a forever home. There are approximately 1,100 foster kids in Indiana currently eligible for adoption and while many will be adopted by a relative or foster parent, DCS is actively seeking adoptive families for a number of them.
"All children want a home filled with love and a family with whom they can share their birthdays and celebrate holidays. They want a room with their own toys, to have friends, play sports and participate in after-school activities. Most importantly, they want a loving, supportive family to be there for them as they grow up," noted DCS Director John Ryan. "The children featured in the Heart Gallery are no exception. They just need a little help from all of us in finding that forever family."
Using the talents of professional photographers who volunteer their time, the individual spirit and true personality of each child is captured. Heart Gallery photographs sometimes show shy children wrapped in their security blankets, girls dressed up as princesses, boys hugging dogs and siblings laughing together. The children all have one thing in common: they need families that will give them unconditional love. Over 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States. More than 100,000 are legally available for adoption and in need of adoptive families. Many of these children are older, in sibling groups that want to be adopted together or have special needs.
This year, approximately 20,000 young people will leave the foster care system without lifelong families—most at age 18. On their own, these young adults must navigate a weakened economy offering fewer jobs and less support for vital services such as housing. They deserve caring adults who love and support them. For some foster kids, getting adopted can mean the difference between homelessness or incarceration and transitioning successfully to adulthood.
The Indiana Heart Gallery is displaying 12 large portraits daily March 23 to April 6 at the Decatur County Family YMCA, 1301 Kathy's Way in Greensburg. Viewing times: Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. There is no charge to see the exhibit.
For more information about the Indiana Heart Gallery, go to http://www.in.gov/dcs/3033.htm. To find out more about adopting an Indiana child, go to www.adoptachild.in.gov or call 888.25ADOPT.
