Month: June 2013
Former Boynton candidate Cory Kravit leaving city
- 5:42 pm Friday, June 28th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
Former city commission candidate Cory Kravit is moving from the city and is resigning from its planning and development advisory board.
Kravit told the city in a June 13 email that he had sold his home and no longer would be a resident.
"It's been an absolute pleasure serving with my fellow board members and working alongside a very professional and competent staff with the city," he wrote.
Kravit said Friday only that he's moving elsewhere in Palm Beach County and that he'll continue his Boca Raton-based law practice.
He also said he would not have listed his house had he been elected.

Work continues for church in former Boynton strip club
- 6:51 pm Tuesday, June 25th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
A year and a half after Eglise Assemblee Evangelique de Christ opened at the site of the former Platinum Showgirls, and a year after it began using a run-down building across the street as an activity center, "everything's going fine," Pastor Dumont Pierre said Tuesday.
"We're struggling, but – praise the lord – we pay our bills," Pierre said.
In May 2011, the congregation paid $600,000 for the Platinum site at 1115 N. Federal Highway, where the strip club operated until it shut down after a 2009 police raid. At the same time it paid $175,000 for the former office building across the [More]
Boynton settles lawsuit over crash
- 5:17 pm Friday, June 21st, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
BOYNTON BEACH — Commissioners voted 5-0 at Tuesday's meeting to settle, for $45,000, a suit filed by Sylvia Negron of Lake Worth.
On Dec. 5, 2011, Negron's Dodge Journey was rear-ended by a city solid waste truck as she waited to turn left on Seacrest Boulevard. The impact sent Negron's SUV across both southbound lanes and into a PalmTran sign.
The city driver, Henry James Moore, was ticketed for careless driving. He later quit following a recommendation he be fired.
Negron's vehicle was a total loss at $16,732, and the 31-year-old widowed mother of four, an administrative assistant at a title firm, suffered [More]
Garage sale permits likely out but 2-a-year limit still in place
- 6:19 am Thursday, June 20th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
BOYNTON BEACH — So commissioners on Tuesday tentatively approved holding off for a year. A final vote is expected at the July 2 meeting.
The city had started issuing permits in May of 1983 after getting complaints that a handful of homeowners were holding repeated sales and causing a nuisance.
At Tuesday's meeting, commissioner Joe Casello asked if the two-a-year rule was still in place.
Yes, city development director Nancy Byrne said. She said that's separate from the permit issue, and will be enforced the way it always has been: It's kind of watched by the neighbors."
Boynton wants vendor to help pay new red light camera costs
- 5:22 pm Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
Posted 1:25 p.m., June 19, 2003
BOYNTON BEACH — City commissioners want their partner in red-light cameras to share the pain.
Forced to comply with a new state law that gives drivers the right to fight their red-light camera tickets in front of an independent magistrate, the commissioners suggested at Tuesday's regular meeting that some of the expected extra costs which will ensue be borne by vendor American Traffic Solutions of Tempe, Ariz.
Palm County commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a county-run appeals system that will let drivers to contest the tickets in front of a special magistrate before the $158 [More]
Boynton set to approve pact with police bargaining unit
- 2:51 pm Friday, June 14th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
The city commission is expected to vote Tuesday night to approve the collective bargaining agreement for police officers, sergeants, lieutenants, and detectives, reached by the city and the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association.
Officers have been acting without a bargaining agreement since one expired Sept. 30. The two sides had been in talks since May 2012, and reached agreement in May of this year, with officers ratifying that on June 6.
The new agreement's term only is from Oct. 1, 2012, to this Sept. 30.
The approval is on the commission's "consent agenda," a bundle of items that are not expected to [More]
Big Boynton project awaits law firm deal
- 8:28 pm Thursday, June 13th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
If the project goes through, the developer would combine that lot with an adjacent 3-acre tract he owns and would construct a $128 million complex rising as high as 12 stories, with 282 residential units and 120 hotel rooms, 18,505 square feet of retail, and 1,168 parking spaces.
The centerpiece and first phase would be a 6-story, 50,000 square feet tower of offices over 300-space garage, with Kanner and Pintaluga as its anchor.
The firm, founded in Boynton Beach, moved to offices near the Arts Garage complex in downtown Delray Beach, but says it has outgrown that and has made [More]
Mediation in Lisa Bright lawsuit fails again
- 7:00 am Thursday, June 13th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
A fifth attempt at mediation has failed in the lawsuit filed by Lisa Bright, former executive director of the city's community redevelopment agency, her lawyer has confirmed.
Trial is set for this fall in the suit. Filed in 2011, it alleges then-Commissioner José Rodriguez orchestrated Bright's departure partly in retaliation for her rejecting his sexual advances and for contacting police after, she said, he manhandled her and shouted at her during a 2008 workshop.
The suit also says after Rodriguez was elected mayor in March 2010, he wanted Bright out so he could control the CRA.
Bright — whose base salary [More]
Boynton commissioner lobbies for workshops
- 7:36 pm Monday, June 10th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
New commissioner David Merker wants the city to start holding workshops in between meetings.
"It's good for the people. I think it's good for the commission," Merker said. He's asked the issue be discussed at the June 18 regular meeting.
The commission meets the first and third Tuesday of each month. Merker would like to see the workshops on the off Tuesdays, preferably also at night.
Merker said the borough council in Fort Lee, N.J, where he served from 1978 to 1980, had workshops and he found them helfpful.
Because Florida's public meeting laws forbid elected officials to discuss city business in private, [More]
Boynton Mayor ponies up for youth conference
- 5:33 pm Wednesday, June 5th, 2013 by Eliot Kleinberg
Mayor Jerry Taylor came out of his own pocket, so to speak, on Tuesday night to resolve a dispute that local governments deal with regularly, and which has become even more difficult in tough financial times: which deserving group to help out?
Boynton Beach has been active for years in Sister Cities International, and has two sister cities: Qufu, China and Les Cayes, Haiti.
At Tuesday's meeting, the commission heard that group teen member Kellsie Kershaw, a South Tech Academy student who will be a senior this fall, had volunteered to attend a July 11-13 Sister Cities International [More]

Maduro informs Chávez about people and military's support
On Saturday, the Venezuelan Government's political team, led by Vice-President Nicolás Maduro, met in Havana, Cuba. Maduro, who is also the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, reported to President Hugo Chávez on the support of the people and the Armed Forces, as expressed in mass rallies last January 10
- Nicolás Maduro arrives in Cuba
- Minister Villegas: President Chávez is aware of his situation
- Argentinean president arrives in Cuba to visit Venezuela's Chávez
- Venezuela's VP: No right-wing will be able to delete Chávez's legacy
- Pro-Chávez rally held in Venezuela
- Petrocaribe, Alba support Venezuelan president's continuity in office
The announcement came through the Twitter account of Minister of Communication and Information Ernesto Villegas, state-run news agency AVN informed. Reference was made to the mass rallies held downtown Caracas on January 10, the date when Chávez's "new presidential term began," AVN added.
"Vice-President Maduro, on behalf of (Cuban) President Raúl Castro, congratulates the Venezuelan people for the actions of January 10 on the ocassion of the beginning of the new presidential term," Villegas wrote in his Twitter account.
On Saturday, the Bolivarian Government's political team, led by Maduro, met in Havana, Cuba.
In this context, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Jorge Arreaza said, earlier, that the government team "works tirelessly to develop science and technology for the benefit of the Venezuelan people."
Arreaza, in his Twitter account @jaarreaza, said "thanks for your support, fellow countrymen. We are working tirelessly for science and technologies that help meet the needs of the people."
Maduro arrived Friday in Cuba to visit Chávez, who is recovering from a cancer operation carried out in Havana last December.
The rock of discord
A shipment of over 30,000 tons of phosphate arrived at Puerto Cabello port in late July on board the Shi Long Ling, a Chinese-flagged vessel that began its long journey in northern Africa. The cargo boat docked on July 26 after traveling more than 3,200 nautical miles. Undoubtedly, this would just be considered one in many cargo ships crisscrossing the oceans if it were not for the fact that Venezuela has denounced Western Sahara occupation by Morocco and yet purchases the territory's natural resource products from the occupying power.

Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has described his private meeting with Pope Benedict XVI in the Vatican earlier this week as "friendly and informal". They talked for an hour, especially about Christian-Muslim relations.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has been reflecting on "The Spiritual and the Religious: is the territory changing?"
As the government faces criticism on its anti-poverty policies, Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has called for more action to protect the poorest and most vulnerable from the likely consequences of an economic downturn.
The celebration of Easter challenges human beings to accept death without delusion, but it also seeks to challenge our acceptance that death is without hope and the end to all meaning, says the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has joined worldwide tributes paid to Chiara Lubich, founder of the religious and humanitarian Focolare Movement, whose death was announced on Friday.
Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop of Canterbury's headquarters, has rejected claims made in a speech earlier this week by Conservative leader David Cameron, that Dr Rowan Williams was seeking the incorporation of Sharia law in the UK.
As questions about the fairness of UK migration policy once more come into the spotlight, the Anglican archbishops of Canterbury and York have been visiting the Oakington Immigration Detention Centre as part of a trip to Cambridge.
As the furore over Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' remarks about religious and civil law subsides into a more considered debate beyond the headlines, the Anglican leader is receiving backing from some unexpected quarters.
Though what might be called 'Rowangate' has subsided a little, some very important issues are still very much alive.
Muslim lawyers say they are puzzled that Archbishop Rowan Williams raised the Sharia issue before they have had a chance to tackle some key concerns. But Evangelicals and a progressive interfaith group are calling for wider debate.

PARTYGOERS have enjoyed the inaugural Pimpinfest at Pimpinio Recreation Reserve on Saturday.
Co-organiser Kelsey Hamilton said she was delighted the festival raised more than $3000 for the Pimpinio Football and Netball Club.
"It was a really great day, it took a lot of organising and we learnt a lot," she said.
"We had a good turnout of 150 people there for our first event. We were quite happy with that."
Ms Hamilton said it was encouraging to see people from other sporting clubs and areas supporting the event.
"We had heaps of support from other club members, the community at Pimpinio and all the members," she said.
"We also had heaps of support from people outside Pimpinio."
The price of admission included drinks, a spit roast dinner and live entertainment from local acts.
"We had I Need A Crown perform first,'' Ms Hamilton said.
"They really set the mood, then Blockie and Bull – I think the mixture of crowd really enjoyed their performance, and then we had Billy Bennett DJ-ing which got us ready to go out later in the night.''
She said she and fellow organiser Leah Dumesny hoped to stage a similar event next year.

Grassroots Writing Research Links:
- The Grassroots Writing Research Journal
- The ISU Writing Program Visiting Speakers Series
- The Grassroots Writing Research Colloquium
- The "Let's CHAT" Podcast Series
- The Undergraduate Writing Research Scholarship
- The Half-Mile Project
- The Grassroots Literate Activity Database
Our Grassroots Approach to Writing Research
The goals of the ISU Writing Program are best understood through our "Grassroots Writing Research" philosophy. Our aims are to investigate literate activity through a range of different kinds of projects.
- Writing and Reading about Writing Research is a key activity in our program. Our primary venue for grassroots writing research (both reading it and producing it) is our Grassroots Writing Research Journal. The journal is published twice each year. It includes articles by citizen writing researchers (which included high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, professional and writing research scholars). Teachers and students in our program have opportunities to write for the journal, but publication is open to writing researchers everywhere.
- Talking about Writing Research happens in our classes, of course, and in all kinds of activities that our teachers engage in as part of their professional development.
- However, we specifically talk about Writing Research as part of our Visiting Speakers Series (well-known scholars in Writing Studies visit campus each year).
- Our Annual Writing Research Colloquium Series invites authors and researchers speak about their work to an audience of students and instructors, as well as other members of our ISU community.
- Our "Let's CHAT" Podcast Series brings together students and instructors to talk about issues of writing research that are important to our community. Topics can be related to specific theories or ideas we are exploring, different teaching strategies we employ, and conversations about the ways we understand and take up different concepts and ideas related to writing and literacy.
- Enacting Writing Research means engaging actively and thoughtfully in everyday lived experience where writing matters. Our teachers and students create multiple opportunities to enact practical writing research—which involves thinking through and observing how writing works in daily life.
- Through our Undergraduate Writing Research Scholarship, we also provide an opportunity for undergraduate scholars (students from ISU and other institutions are eligible) to engage in a year-long Writing Research project. Scholars publish their work in our Grassroots Writing Research Journal and also participate in our annual Writing Research Colloquium.
- In addition, our Half-Mile Project brings together students and residents of our Bloomington-Normal Community to talk about how writing is produced and used in the daily lives of our Bloomington-Normal residents.
- Collecting Writing Research is an activity that happens as part of the publication of our journal, but this activity is supported by our Grassroots Literate Activity Database, which is a project that collects details about particular writing activities as they are experienced by groups and individuals.
The Grassroots Writing Research Journal
The Grassroots Writing Research Journal is produced twice each year by the Writing Program at Illinois State University. The print issue of each journal is used as a primary text in two of ISU's undergraduate general education writing courses. Digital versions of previous issues are available online. The title of the journal reflects our aspirations—to present writing research by different authors and in a wide range of different topics, forms, and media. The journal solicits authors from within and outside of our institutions and other academic institutions. We've published faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, high school students and non-students—all Writing Researchers. We encourage authors to share not only what they've learned about writing, but how they learned it. Thus, each new volume brings together a diverse collection of articles that all enact some form of writing research from a variety of authors. Authors can learn more about publishing on our websites, which offers both back issues of the journal and a range of different guides for researching and writing for the journal.
The Archives provide links to previous issues. For teaching resources, see our tab for Instructors. To learn more about submission guidelines, see our tips for Authors.
The ISU Writing Program Visiting Speaker Series
The ISU Writing Program's annual Grassroots Writing Research Visiting Speaker Series brings nationally recognized scholars in writing research to campus for 2–3 day visits, during which they present their current research, run workshops and discussion sessions, and talk with both graduate and undergraduate students about writing. Now a well-established part of our Writing Program, the Series reflects our ongoing endeavors to promote discussions about writing research, in and beyond the classroom and in and beyond ISU. Although the scholars' presentations are not available to the public, our instructors are able to access archived presentations to share with their students in Writing Program courses.
Past Visiting Scholars
Paul Prior, Professor of English, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Kevin Roozen, Associate Professor of Rhetoric & Composition, Auburn University
2012–2013 Visiting Scholar
Ann Johns, Faculty Emerita, Department of Rhetoric & Writing Studies, San Diego State University
Campus Visit: January 30–31, 2013
Dr. Johns has been teaching since her early 20s, beginning with a middle school in Chicago and then a high school in Kenya. Soon after she moved to San Diego, she began teaching in community colleges and as a part-time instructor at San Diego State. When she completed her Ph.D. (1979), she was offered a tenure-track position at SDSU in two departments: Academic Skills (now Rhetoric and Writing Studies) and Linguistics and Oriental Languages. She is the recipient of two Senior Fulbright grants, at the University of Limpopo in South Africa (2007) and the Antonine University in Beirut (2009). Though officially retired, Dr. Johns continues to teach, work on curriculum projects in the U.S. and abroad, and write articles and book chapters about English for Special Purposes, genre, and teaching composition.
Research Talk (Wednesday, January 30th, 2013, 7–8:30PM – Stevenson Hall 133)
"Genre, Activity Theory, and the Common Core Standards"
In this presentation, Dr. Johns discussed the implementation of the Common Core Standards (CCS) across different states nationally, and the impact of these standards on the ways that reading and writing are taught and assessed. She also addressed some of the implications of CCS for university-level writing and reading instruction. Her discussion was of particular interest to pre-service or in-service K-12 instructors, but was also useful for Writing Program instructors who work with incoming first-year students, because we wanted to address and create bridges for students' knowledge and learning experiences in First Year Writing and a better understanding of the implications of CCS is important for this work.
2013–14 Visiting Scholar
Anis Bawarshi, Professor & Director of Expository Writing, University of Washington
Campus Visit: October 21–22, 2013
Dr. Bawarshi teaches courses in composition theory and pedagogy, rhetorical genre theory, discourse analysis, rhetoric, and knowledge transfer. He is Series Co-Editor for Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition and Program Profiles and Co-Editor for Composition Forum. He also serves on the editorial board for College Composition and Communication. His publications include Genre: A Historical, Theoretical, and Pedagogical Introduction (co-authored with Mary Jo Reiff); Genre and the Invention of the Writer; Scenes of Writing: Strategies for Composing with Genres (coauthored with Amy J. Devitt and Mary Jo Reiff), A Closer Look: The Writer's Reader (co-authored with Sidney I. Dobrin); and articles and book chapters on genre, uptake, invention, and knowledge transfer in composition. His current work focuses on knowledge transfer, genre uptake and materiality, and the performance of public genres. He is co-editing a book that examines genre and the performance of publics as well as a book collection that profiles writing program ecologies.
Research Talk (Monday, October 21st, 2013, 7–8:30PM – Stevenson Hall 401)
"Accounting For Genre Performances: Why Uptake Matters"
During this presentation, Dr. Bawarshi discussed genre uptake. Over the past 25 years, scholarship in rhetorical genre studies has contributed a great deal to our understanding of how genres mediate social activities, providing insight into how systems of related genres coordinate ways of knowing and doing within recurring situations. From this scholarship has emerged a view of genres as both social (typified, recognizable, and consequential ways of organizing texts, activities, and social reality) and cognitive phenomena (involved phenomenologically in how we recognize, encounter, and make sense of situations). Yet genre research has not accounted as fully for what Anne Freadman has called genre uptake—the taking up or performance of genres in moments of interaction and innovation. Genre uptake is informed by genre knowledge but also by one's sense of self, one's memory of prior uptakes, as well as by other affective, embodied, and material factors that make uptakes, while to some extent habitual, also momentary and unpredictable. A focus on genre uptake allows us to account more fully for the dynamics of agency and the contingent, impromptu, multi-directional performances of genre—and their implications for genre research and teaching.
2014-15 Visiting Scholar

ISU Writing Program Podcast Series: Let's CHAT!
Our Let's CHAT podcast series was named for one of our key program concepts, Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). Our program differs from many general education writing programs in our active use of current research and theory in Writing Studies (and related fields that research learning and literacy), as well as our own Citizen Writing Research. We use research in genre studies and CHAT, research on learning transfer and cognition, as well as other kinds of research and theory. But in our efforts to engage with theory and research, we're trying to move beyond just learning about it. We want to enact it: To observe its traces in our daily literate practices and to incorporate what we are learning into our personal knowledge as literate citizens. Our podcast series helps to bring together interested members of our community to talk about praxis—how the theories and research we read can make their way into our daily practice as writers, and as people who need to share our knowledge with others.
Podcast tapings are open to the public and Q&A and discussion sessions follow each podcast.
Undergraduate Fellowship Program
(formerly known as the Undergraduate Scholarship)
The ISU Writing Program sponsors an undergraduate fellowship program to promote student research in the study of writing practices. There are up to two fellowships available each academic year. These fellowships provide a $500.00 stipend to an undergraduate student at any level attending any higher education institution. Fellowship participants have the opportunity to create a research study investigating writing practices, present their research at our annual Grassroots Writing Research Colloquium, and compose an article for the Grassroots Writing Research Journal, our program's in-house publication.
The current call for fellowship applications can be found at 2014-15CallforFellowshipApplications.

The Half-Mile Project
In our inaugural semester of the Half-mile Project (connecting students with "real world" writers living, working, and writing in close-proximity to campus), Lindsay Bachman of "That's So Sweet" in Uptown Normal brought her mini-cheesecake samples and talked with Jeff Reints' 145.13 class. Bachman talked about the unexpected amount of writing that she had had to do in starting her business and in particular in her expansion from Lexington, IL to Uptown Normal. Bachman wrote a proposal to the city of Normal in order to earn a grant to open her business. She has also had to write proposals to paint the outside of the building and add signage in addition to learning to read and write formal legal contracts. In addition to all the formal writing, Bachman talked about the way she composes her menu, new recipes, and uses writing on social media as a tool for growing her business. Watch for opportunities to engage your students in this semester's Half-Mile Project.
The Grassroots Literate Activity Database
The Grassroots Literate Activity Database was created by the Writing Program at ISU as a resource to help individuals examine their writing experiences, in order to understand how the acquisition of knowledge and skills in one writing experience may apply to another writing experience and document their learning of these important skills.
The GLAD is an open database that researchers (of all kinds) can use to better understand what people actually do when they engage in different kinds of writing and composing in their daily lives. Participants share details about some different kinds of writing situations, either by filling out an online survey or through face-to-face meetings with one of our researchers.

- Excerpt from Judicial Reform:
On 27 November 2013 the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation approved a Law to amend the Russian Constitution with regard to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation (originally – Draft Law No. 352924-6).
The amendment abolishes the Supreme Commercial Court of the Russian Federation (the "Commercial Court") and transfers its jurisdictional powers, i.e. resolution of commercial disputes, to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (the "Supreme Court"). According to the Explanatory Note, the aim of the reform is to ensure a uniform approach to dispute resolution by the supreme courts and to avoid disputes on jurisdiction.
The bench of the new Supreme Court will consist of 170 judges. The Law introduces a procedure for the selection of applicants for positions on the Supreme Court. Acting judges of both courts who will continue to exercise their powers until the newly formed Supreme Court is launched. It is expected that the reorganization of the court system will take place within six months.

About Fred:
Fred Crist established FACrist/Metalsmith in 2007. He is an educator in great demand whose work is widely collected and exhibited. The following is an excerpt from his 2011 interview with Iceforge.
"Forging metal has always been my choice of material and process as a sculptor and craftsman. From the time I was first introduced to this direct manipulation of metal as a student at Philadelphia College of Art in 1974, (under the direction of Jack Andrews) I was captivated by its potential as a sculptural medium.
Upon graduation, with a BFA in Sculpture, I began working at Samuel Yellin Metalworkers in West Philadelphia in 1977. This studio, renowned for its excellence in hand forged architectural works dating back to 1906, was to be my training ground for the next eleven years. Here I began as an apprentice and worked my way up to Head Blacksmith. While at the Yellin Studio I assisted and lead on many major projects, involving reproduction of original Yellin work as well as restoration of works in need of repair."

Metalsmith BenchTalk with jeweler and metalsmith David LaPlantz
in Art
My guest this Thursday, July 26th at 3 p.m. PDT on MetalSmith BenchTalk is David LaPlantz (aka D. D. Deco), an active, producing jeweler and metalsmith. He flirts back and forth between jewelry and social commentary sculpture.
About: David LaPlantz is included in Who's Who in American Art and Who's Who in the West and was named Humboldt State University's "Outstanding Professor" in 1981. He received a Fulbright Grant in 1985 to travel throughout New Zealand to conduct master jewelry workshops, and received the Humboldt State University "Scholar of the Year" Award in 1994.
From 1967 through 2002, LaPlantz led an energetic dual life as both a full time jewelry and metalsmithing teacher and full time studio artist. Balancing his precious time between the two, he carved out a career comprised of imparting knowledge and creating art jewelry and sculpture, while trying to retain his sanity. LaPlantz is currently a full time studio artist living on the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
LaPlantz has always been an active, productive jeweler and metalsmith. His most recent jewelry involves the use of Vegetable Ivory (tagua nut) and /or industrially painted aluminum, which he engraves, stacks and cold connects together. LaPlantz's sculptural pieces visually explore more political and philosophical topics such as blacklisting in the entertainment industry, payola scandals in the music industry and in radio, along with the "spoken word" as demonstrated in his 'Art Microphones.'

Creating In the Zone with Nature: A Conversation with Zach Pine
in Art
Today on the Art 4 All People airwaves will be having a conversation with Bay Area Artist Zach Pine. We will chat about art, nature,transformation, inspriation, and healing. As well we will talk about his experience at our lastest exhibtions art and healing festival, MUSE: The Art of Transformation and Healing at the Institute for Art and Healing at Commonweal in Bolinas, CA.
From Zach's website
My journey as an artist began during my childhood in Northern California, where I loved to make constructions on the beach from sand, rocks, and seaweed. Throughout my life, I've created art from and in nature as a personal practice. Since 2004 I've focused on the social and environmental dimensions of my art-- hosting group art-making events and workshops, teaching in public and private schools, training teachers and museum staff, and installing hands-on "Create-With-Nature Zones" in parks, schools, museums, and public spaces. My endeavors are in the tradition of social sculpture, in service to nature and to society. Collaboration with other artists, environmentalists, scientists, educators, and parents is key to my work. I strive to create models and methods for collective creativity; to connect people of all ages with each other and with the natural world; and to inspire joy, spontaneity, and environmental action.
Calvin Schwartz – Cerebral Writer & NJ Adventurer
in Radio
According to boxing legend George Forman, "I get up in the morning looking for an adventure." The same can be said about Calvin Schwartz. These days Cal divides his time between more activities than most of us -- Senior Writer NJ -The Shore Thing, novelist (Vichy Water), blogger, music journalist, biographer, and explorer of all things New Jersey. This Rutgers grad and former pharmacist has finally found his niche in journalism, and he's using his writing skills and quest for knowledge to embark on a series of grand adventures. Just check out Cal on Facebook, and you'll be apprised of his daily adventures. One day he's at Grounds for Sculpture admiring Marilyn Monroe's long legs, another day he's hanging out with Comedian Mike Marino and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Vini Lopez at Warlock Drums. He recently had the honor of interviewing Princess Elettra Marconi Giovannelli, daughter the inventor of radio. To say Cal's interests and pursuits are varied, is an understatement. This adventurer has auditioned for The Apprentice at age 60, examined paranormal activities, met more NJ musicians than most, advocated for the homeless, and has cultivated a strong spiritual side. But there is one Asbury Park experience Cal hasn't had, and he's going to share that with me this weekend. Curious? Thought so! Somehow with all this, Cal is developing a new web site which will be "the embodiment of what he's done for the past 30 years." After the interview, check out After Hours at Jersey Coastal Live for more info.

I love intricate details in art and decor such as shabby chic, french and victorian styles. I am so hooked on watching HGTV , especially with Candice Olsen. I recently discovered a creative blog site. There are so many talented and creative people and it inspires me. Now, if I could just get this weight off, I would feel so much better and have more energy to go out and conquer the world.

Many of you have been following me since the beginning of this journey. You know somewhere in the middle I took a break – especially from social media. I never explained the absence and everyone respected my privacy.
In the fall of 2011 my father, Larry Opelt, started having pain in his abdomen. On December 31 of the same year he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which we later found out was inoperable. He went through chemo, radiation and multiple surgeries. On September 9, 2013 he passed away from complications of the disease.
My father worked for over 30 years as the Finance Director for the City of Adrian in Michigan. In his spare time he kept the books and advised the owner of a gas station – taking the business from in the red, to in the black and then creating a fund so the owner could retire. He was asked to be on the finance committee of every organization he joined.
After retiring himself, he took a side job doing tax work for "fun". My dad also sat on the board of the Municipal Employees' Retirement System for the State of Michigan for ten years. Once he left his full time job, they asked him to be Chairman of the Board. He also held the role of CFO for Alesya Bags, although I don't think that ever made it on his official resume.
There is a misnomer that accountants like money. Not so. The good ones like numbers. My father could look at a balance sheet and tell you something was off. A restaurant check would come and he'd instinctively know what to tip at his normal 18% rate. He knew if you'd added your golf score incorrectly in seconds. It was a natural gift.
As soon as I started Alesya LLC I asked my father to be my business accountant. It was, and will always be, the easiest hire I'll ever make. It was a gig he could handle in his sleep. But more than that we had fun. Dorky business fun – but that made it all the better. It was our favorite kind.
Here we were – me in my 30′s and my dad in his 60′s – and he was still teaching me things. We'd go through each line of my bank statements and make sure each expense was accounted for. He'd add up what I was spending with one business and ask if I knew how much I was paying them. His pencil would slam down on the table after I questioned his judgement, "You marketers never want to say it's a marketing expense! But it's ALWAYS a marketing expense!" He was right.
The morning after he was officially diagnosed, we were trying to figure out this new life around the breakfast table. In an effort to be helpful my mom suggested, "Didn't you both say you needed to do the Alesya Bags books?"
My father and I couldn't look at each other. We just hung our heads and cried. This wasn't a CPA and a business owner. It was a father and a daughter. And we'd wanted that relationship to go on forever.
In the final months of his life my dad all but begged me to send our records to my new accountant. I didn't want to because I knew when I did that meant the end was near. Once I finally did it my account said they'd take a look and let me know what kind of shape we were in.
A few days later the call came through. "Well, Alesya, for most people we charge a fee to get your accounting cleaned up. But these are the best records we've ever seen. Your books are in perfect order and there will be no fee." When I called my parents with the news we had the briefest moment of happiness. Somewhere in this horrific mess something was it exactly as it should be. For a second there was calm.
From the time I started earning money, my father talked about saving money. We often created budgets for my college education and at the end of each one he made me add in a line for something he labeled Mad Money. "You know, when you want a pizza or you have to go out and buy pantyhose? Women are always buying pantyhose." I'd roll my eyes and add the extra amount.
My paternal grandparents gave me and my sister a $100 savings bonds for each birthday and Christmas until we were 18. We both used the money for college. Mostly books and any costs coming outside tuition, room and board. I'd held on to a few and used them to start this business. (Oh how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.)
One day while my father was ill I picked up the phone and there was a broker on the line. The broker told me my father was on the call and he wanted to open accounts my girls who were then four and one. There had been no discussion, but I knew immediately what was happening.
My father was setting up funds as if he was there for each one of my daughter's birthdays and Christmases and able to give them those same savings bonds. Later he told me, "Tell them to use it for Mad Money in college. To buy pantyhose. And to have fun! You know? FUN. And tell them its from their Grandpa."
Crazy as it sounds, when the statements come in the mail it's like a note from my dad. Watching him file his own documents every month for years on end I won't ever be able to look at any statement without thinking of him. And in the strangest way, filing away these statements is a comforting feeling. You might call it a gift from heaven. But I know my dad would say it's the magic of compounding interest. Either way – I'm grateful. Not for the money, but simply for the numbers on the page.
Thank you for infinite understanding and support during what have been the most challenging of times. There were many, many days when emails and calls didn't get returned in a timely manner. This blog stopped and I gave you little reason to continue following me on social media.
But yet, you did. And you never questioned what was going on or asked me for details. You just understood that there are some things in life more important than business. I can't fully express how wonderful that feels, but it really does.
Will there be other bumps in the road? Mountains to climb? Bridges to rebuild? Undoubtedly. For now, we move forward. And it's so amazing to know I have all of you right there with me. Perhaps my father is with us too. Rooting us forward, watching the bottom line and of course, making sure all the books are in order.

For the third part of this discussion, I thought it would be interesting to turn to an Eastern Orthodox theologian. This will close out our look at more mystically minded theologians. In doing so I will look at Vladimir Lossky's The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church (and because I wanted to remind Mark that he didn't buy it for £3 when he had the chance!).
From the very beginning of the volume, Lossky claims that "all theology is mystical, inasmuch as it shows forth the divine mystery: the data of revelation" (7). He admits that there is a strand of mysticism that focuses solely on an "unutterable mystery" to be "lived rather than known." On the contrary, Lossky suggests,
we must live the dogma expressing a revealed truth, which appears to us as an unfathomable mystery, in such a fashion that instead of assimilating the mystery to our mode of understanding, we should, on the contrary, look for a profound change, an inner transforming spirit, enabling us to experience it mystically. Far from being mutually opposed, theology and mysticism support and complete each other. One is impossible without the other. If the mystical experience is a personal working out of the content of the common faith, theology is an expression, for the profit of all, of that which can be experienced by everyone" (8-9).
Lossky states that, "Mysticism is accordingly treated in the present work as the perfecting and crown of all theology: as theology par excellence" (9). Continue reading

A near-opaque, dense ruby red. An emphatic, incisive nose immediately conveys the wine's distinctive personality.

More on the matchup: These sides last met in 2011 when Philip Rivers threw for over 300 yards in a 26-16 victory. The game on Sunday offers to be a curious matchup between a team that struggles to rush the passer against another without a solid offensive line. It could cause the game to be a test of two inconsistent running backs, but Ryan Mathews is the better of the two and could have a big day.

Motorola revamps logo to trade off Google name
Motorola Mobility, which was acquired by Google last year, has redesigned its logo to include "a Google company" tagline underneath its own name.
Motorola: adds Google to logo
It is rumoured Motorola will relaunch the brand on 1 August on the back of an upcoming Moto X flagship handset.
The phone manufacturer is attempting to boost its brand with the updated logo following Kantar research claiming Google's brand had helped LG regain a foothold in the UK mobile market on the back of sales of the Google-branded Nexus 4 phone.
Since completing the acquisition of Motorola in May 2012, Google has enforced drastic changes including the cutting of 4,000 jobs, which accounted for 20% of the company's global workforce.
The global job cuts resulted in Motorola axing one third of its 15-strong
Andrew Morley,
On a global level, Google is attempting to revitalise the brand by poaching Samsung's VP of strategic marketing Brian Wallace in order to lead marketing for its Motorola division.
Motorola chief executive Dennis Woodside hopes to lead a turnaround by making Motorola products "cool" again by installing features including sensors that recognise who is in a room based on their voices.
However, some have speculated that the main reason Google acquired Motorola Mobility was to capitalise on its patents, which has allowed it to file patent claims against companies including Apple.

Lomechanik is a dutch independent experimental music label celebrating their 25th release with the compilation called "Places": a 'Name Your Price' (!) download of 25 tracks (over two hours) especially created for this project by "old familiars as well as newly involved artists, with a certain place and/or memory as a starting point."
Souvenirs van de Woeste Grond
(Various Artists)
"Souvenirs van de Woeste Grond" (roughly translates as "Souvenirs from the Wasteland") is a part of a landscape-inspired art project inspired by the Dutch province "Overijssel".
"In this project two artists (Heidi Linck and Hans Jungerius) collected stories about the countryside landscape in order to save them from obscurity. In the second phase of the project eight different artists make a souvenir based on the collected stories."
This particular album (available as digital download or limited edition CD released by the adventurous Esc.Rec label), is one of those 'souvenirs'!
Classically trained musician and composer Bruno Sanfilippo (Spain) presents a beautiful romantic and somewhat melancholic set of modern classical compositions for piano, violin (Pere Bardagi) and violincello (Manuel del Fresno).
"With the fragility and beauty of some Arvo Pärt compositions and a high cinematic touch, "ClarOscuro" brings the perfect soundtrack for an imaginary movie."
Rutger Zuydervelt - Stay Tuned
+ Machinefabriek - Stillness Soundtrack
Imagine a single 50 minute track album with contributions from more than 150 artists....
I can't even begin to list names here but you should definitely check the list on the Bandcamp page - I'm sure it'll raise your interest to find out more about Rutger "Machinefabriek" Zuydervelt's project"Stay Tuned".
Not counting their recent collaboration "Drowning in the Sky", with Sleep Orchestra, "Solstøv" is Pjusk's fourth release - and their third for the 12K label.
Since their debut in 2007, the Norwegian duo (Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik and Rune Andre Sagevik) have built themselves quite an impressive reputation.
With "Solstøv", (Sol - Sun / Støv - Dust) they don't disappoint - to say the least!
In the Shortlist sections, I will mention the albums that I enjoyed listening to, but couldn't find the time (or the right words) for a "full" review for. Still, I definitely think they deserve your attention, with ór without extra words!
Originally released in 1995, this is considered a landmark album in the impressive catalogue of Rapoon (Robin Storey) releases. It became out of print long ago, but now receives a well-deserved expanded re-release: the double CD features a (near) 40 minute live recording for KFJC Radio (San Francisco) from 1996, next to the remastered version of the original album.
Inner Vision Laboratory is a musical project from the Polish artist Karol Skrzypiec, who describes his music as 'basically industrial dark ambient, also including elements of ethnic music, classical music, et al."
"AMBIT" is the result of his online collaboration with Nepenthe (Daniel Krause) (whose alias probably refers to the 'Drug of Forgetfullness'). (Note: See Nepenthe's reaction in the comments below)
Harnes Kretzer - Petrichor
+ Ohrenbetäuberende Stille - No. 1
Building on the sound of a soft damped piano, including the breathing and squeaking sounds of the piano's inner mechanics, "Petrichor" risks being compared to the reference artist of the genre, Nils Frahm.
A comparision I guess almost every artists would fail.
"Dream Sequence" starts with a rumbling distant thunder and the dripping sounds of water in a bathroom nearby. Slowly - very slowly! - drone chords set in to create a calm soothing sound. But underneath, there is the dark foreboding sound of a low register piano pulse...
"We are Snoqualmie Falls, and this is the soundtrack to our dream life. Where we're from the birds sing a pretty song, and there's always music in the air."
Snoqualmie Falls - named after the scenic cascade in Washington State - is Jeff Stonehouse (a.k.a. Listening Mirror and Jffstnhs) creating the music and Alicia Merz adding her ethereal vocals.
Oe + Coniglio; Yannick Franck; Tone Color
Taalem Releases
Taalem is a Paris-based label - "exploring the different sides of ambient music through 3" CD-R's and FLAC downloads - with a somewhat different release policy:
"As we're tired of all these ultra-limited & ultra-expensive releases, taâlem discs are unlimited editions. As long as the demand exists, every release is available." Some fine examples from their recent releases:
21 Minutes (2 Tracks) of Glacial ambient created by ∅e (Fabio Perletta: guitar, loops) and Enrico Coniglio (guitar, field recordings, sampler).
The (december 2013) release was especially postponed because the music perfectly fits the winter season. The opening sounds of a harsh winter storm might give you some extra chills.
But in summer, this wide musical landscape full of fascinating details may help you cool down when desired!
