Why I like this stuff.
Firstly, I'm a huge fan of the unexpected, it drives my work and my own art. I believe it leaves a lasting impression with the observer/viewer/user and can become more than the intended experience when you're getting people to say holycrap. Which is precisely what I said when I saw these images.
Secondly, I used to be a graf artist, Eno One is the moniker. I've since flipped it into "new media" (what a boring and abused term) and more recently into an obsession with using color, shape, and tech to engage us human animals. I smile at every piece in this competition partly for the nostalgia of what I used to be part of here on the planet of Brooklyn, and also because of the total whimsy - using Photoshop to wreck shop, and get it done with such juxxed themes. fun fun fun.
If you like the five I have here, please visit the link above to see all the contest entries. I'd also like to point out that some people have been combining old and young pieces way before this contest, and without the aid of photoshop. First to come to mind is one of my inspirations, Ewok One. He redesigned his site and I cannot find the point of my linkage but he'd take old landscape paintings (the kind you might buy at one of those starving artists' blowouts) and put one of his characters behind a tree, maybe a hunter wearing a bunny suit. Similar kind of contrast, similar kind of reuse and abuse. Another that comes to mind is Banksy, walking into a museum with framed artwork and a drill under the coat of his over-the-top costume and installing his pieces along with a placard. He's also pulled off other stunts that I think can be counted as graffiti even if no paint was used. Finally, all the classic graf artists (Lee, Dondi, Futura2000 just to name a few) who have done gallery shows, going from the old late night creep in tunnels and trainyards to Pearl Paint to buy stretched canvas. I bet they didn't even expect that one in their 1st days.
When I get a little time to myself, I plan to add one of my own to these images. Inspiration begetting the misuse of Photoshop, it's the graphics artists' cycle of life.

|NAMI News Release
|For Immediate Release: July 16, 2002
NAMI Condemns Trenton Newspaper for "Roasted Nuts" Headline About Fire at Psychiatric Hospital
Copy Editor's Apology Inadequate; Legal Issues Present Stigma Reflects "Devaluation" of People With Mental Illnesses: Newspaper's Institutional Irresponsibility to be Raised with Presidential Commission on July 18th
|Contact: Bob Carolla: 703-524-7600
Arlington, VA - The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the nation's largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with mental illness, has expressed "shock and outrage" over a headline in The Trentonian newspaper in Trenton, NJ for a July 10, 2002 story about a fire at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital-calling it one of the "worst examples of prejudice and discrimination toward people with mental illnesses in recent memory."
Fortunately, no one was injured or killed in the fire, but the attitude it reflected, no matter how humorously or innocently intended, represents the kind of "devaluation" of people with mental illnesses that the U.S. Surgeon General has called "the most formidable obstacle to future progress in the arena of mental illness and mental health."
NAMI intends to raise the incident in testimony before President Bush's "New Freedom" Commission on Mental Health on July 18 in Washington, D.C., during hearings on proposed reforms of the nation's treatment system-and in antistigma conferences later this month sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one of which will consider drafting formal guidelines for the news media.
Devaluation of people's lives through stigma leads to lack of investment in treatment and recovery. How The Trentonian deals with the incident also may have "far-reaching legal implications," NAMI warned.
In a letter to David Bonfield, publisher of The Trentonian, NAMI called the headline a reflection of "a failure of internal leadership" and gross institutional irresponsibility, dismissing as "inadequate" an apology published the following day by the copy editor who wrote the headline.
"Under the Americans with Disabilities Act and potentially other federal and state laws, the headline provides prima facie evidence of a hostile work environment for people with mental illnesses or their family members," warned NAMI executive director Richard C. Birkel, Ph.D. Statistically, that may include as many as 20 percent of The Trentonian employees.
He advised Bonfield to take "affirmative, remedial actions" for the benefit of both the newspaper's employees and the broader community.
NAMI also is investigating potential legal action.

I recently purchased one of these and I am addicted to it now! I wear it on my waterline to make me look SO much more awake and alert! The price is def. a plus! I remember buying these when I was in high school and the pencil liners were so much more harder to put on and they were just stiff! This one -the Kohl Silky Smooth formula in white- is so soft and does not tug at all! I love it and I would definitely purchase again and again!
Let me just preface this by saying I am having a love affair with WnW lately. I was in my local Walgreens looking at the Revlon mattes collection, and the only thing that really caught my eye was their white eyeliner (trying not to buy duplicates on similar items), but for $10 it was about 1/3 the length of the WnW version.
Side by side there is practically no difference between the two, and for 1/10th the price, you can't beat this liner. It goes on creamy and quite smooth. Instantly brightens my eyes on my waterline, and over UDPP makes a great matte white base for eyeshadow. Fantastic buy for under a dollar! I was so impressed with this inexpensive find that I went back and purchased Turquoise as well. continued >>
I'm not sure if I just got a bad one of these or what but mine was incredibly hard. There was no possible way to use it. It is a beautiful white color but it just would not work at all for me. Even tried warming it up and took a lighter to the tip to try and soften it. Not the best idea but hey I really wanted it to work. And it didn't :(
I do like the idea of covering a blemish with this first and then putting on concealer as another reviewer mentioned. Maybe try it for that? But for eyeliner this is a no go product.
Very white, just got this tonight, so I have not tried it.Will write a full review after I use it.
This pencil is pigmented but it's so hard that it hurts my eye when I apply this on. This pencil also tug the skin around my eye. Although it's cheap, i dont think this is worth getting since it tugs my skin and all. If you want to get this, they sell it for 99 cents at rite aid. It can look unnatural since this is super white.
Took away a lip for slight tugging on application. Great for line filling with concealer.
I think that this did an OK job. It took FOREVER to get any sort of pigment on my waterline, even though it was super-pigmented when I warmed it up and drew a line on my hand (when it was brand-new and the point was deadly sharp) to soften it. I probably won't get this again, but I will try the Rimmel one. I've heard good things about that one.
More reviews by keititatsudoshi
I love this pencil. It's a little harsh, so you have to use a light hand, but it stayed on my *waterline* all day!! i think that is amazing, I only wish it came in one of their automatic pencils as opposed to one you have to sharpen.
of all of wet n wilds eyeliners, this is one of the smoothest. the colored ones tug and the black has a different texture. its easy to use, really cheap and great for brightening and opening up the eye. I only use it on the lower 1/3 of my eye near the tear duct and then some white shimmer really opens the eye up. my only complaint is that this can look really unnatural if without makeup and I think a beige color would be better if used on the whole waterline
More reviews by chanelleecheese
Since this is the first white eyeliner I tried, my review might not be accurate.
Before sharpening, it's very hard to apply. (I tested it out on my hand a lot of times.)
After sharpening, it glided on very easily. The color is very pigmented, but it didn't work too well on making my eyes look bigger. I still use it for fun though, LOL.
I bought it at Rite Aid, for $0.99, so it's no big deal that it didn't work out for me.

Latin American and Caribbean Household Food Security Scale (ELCSA)
Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria (ELCSA)
The Latin American Household Food Security Measurement Scale (ELCSA) aims at standardizing the measurement of food insecurity in the entire region.
With funding from the EC/FAO programme, FAO's Nutrition and Consumer Protection Division has helped standardize a version of the ELCSA for Mexico and Central America.
A review of household food security scales in Latin America
In 2009-2010 FAO, under the EC/FAO Programme, reviewed household food security scales in Latin America and proposed a process for harmonizing the different scales used in Mesoamerica.
Regional Workshop – Harmonizing the ELCSA Scale for use in Mexico and Central America
In September 2010, The EC/FAO Programme sponsored a regional workshop at the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública in Cuernavaca Mexico. Government officials and researchers from five countries (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua) worked together to create a harmonized version of the ELCSA for the region.
Ongoing work
The Regional FAO Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, in collaboration with the EC/FAO Programme, is providing technical assistance to Mexico and Central American countries in using the harmonized scale in their countries.

Why am I not surprised that Tom Patterson opened his predictable Aug. 25 hit piece on unions and the social safety net by taking a cheap shot at President Obama? Patterson knows that the President used "Detroit" as short hand for the auto industry and not as a reference to the municipality; the same way "Hollywood" is used to mean the movie industry and "D.C." to mean Federal government. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous.

A surprise cease-fire brokered by the U.S. and the U.N. on Thursday seems to have fallen apart in Gaza less than two hours after it took effect.
The AP reports that violence Friday has already resulted in the deaths of 35 Palestinians from Israeli shelling. In addition, an Israeli soldier has been abducted. On its Twitter account, the Israeli Defense Forces placed the blame for the truce's failure on Hamas:
This morning, Hamas fired at our forces in S. Gaza in violation of a ceasefire. We suspect that an IDF soldier was kidnapped moments later.— IDF (@IDFSpokesperson) August 1, 2014
A political official in Hamas has told Turkish media that the abducted soldier was taken before the cease-fire began, according to The New York Times. A Gaza health official tells the AP that well over 100 Palestinians have been wounded in the Israeli shelling Friday.
In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Once again, Hamas and the terror organizations in Gaza have blatantly broken the cease-fire to which they committed, this time before the American secretary of State and the U.N. secretary general."
A spokesman for the Israeli military put it more bluntly to The New York Times: "The cease-fire is over."
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were scheduled to go to Cairo this weekend for formal talks "aimed at reaching a durable cease-fire," according to a U.S.-U.N. statement announcing the cease-fire.

Alive Again is currently orbiting aboard space shuttle Atlantis, servicing its final scheduled journey after almost a quarter-century of missions. Atlantis launched from Kennedy Space Center on May 14, 2010, and will spend 12 days in orbit and 7 days docked to the International Space Station where astronauts will deliver a Russian research module, along with other equipment and replacement parts.
Maher's music has become a staple carry-on item for NASA astronaut, Mike Good, who has officially selected Maher's song "Alive Again" as one of his "wake-up songs" -- not only reviving Good from an outer space slumber but the rest of the STS-132 and International Space Station crew as well.
Astronaut Good relayed a message of inspiration after a recent wake up call from NASA headquarters, "Good morning Houston! It's great to wake up here in space again. We're looking forward to another beautiful day docked at the International Space Station. I thank God for this opportunity to view the glory of His creation from this perspective -- and thanks to Matt Maher for that song, 'Alive Again.'"
This marks the third year in a row that Maher's music has visited the cosmos. In June 2008 and 2009 Matt's previous album Empty & Beautiful (4/8/08) found its way onto shuttle Discovery for NASA Mission STS-124 with astronaut Ron Garan and aboard Atlantis STS-125 with Mike Good.
"I had the pleasure of meeting Mission Specialist, Mike Good when I was in Houston last year thanks to a friend of mine; seeing the NASA facility and hearing about the work that everyone there does was amazing, especially since, as a child, I always aspired to be an astronaut!" says Maher. "Music intersects with people's lives and inspires something unique from every person, so really, it's such an honor that he would choose one of my songs to start his day. Having my song played in space is one thing, but in context with what he says reminds me of what a great Man of God Mike is. It is such an honor to have my music start anyone's day."

Matt Maher in Space
This is cool. The Astronauts woke up to Matt Maher's song Alive Again and it isn't the first time his music has been in space.

Marking New Year's Eve at Times Square Without Dick Clark
The world is poised to celebrate another New Year's Eve in Times Square. But this one will be unlike any in the last forty years, as there will be no Dick Clark preceding over the all-important ball drop.
Clark died in April at the age of 82. He suffered a massive heart attack, and was dealing with the complications from a stroke since 2004.
For the majority of his decades in the business, Clark's boyish looks kept his title "Oldest Living Teenager" intact. He was synonymous with New Year's Eve since creating his Rockin' Eve special to usher in 1973. He marked his 40th anniversary with the holiday program just months before his death.
The show must go on, as New Year's Eve goes on without Clark, and his beloved show continues his legacy and to bear his name.
In recent years, tourists or anyone else venturing to the Times Square Visitors Center, or online, were asked to write notes to help ring in the New Year that would be used as confetti.
This year, people are encouraged to leave fond farewells to Clark.
Tim Tompkins, Times Square Alliance president, says approximately 400 messages were left for the broadcasting icon. Those hand-written notes came from people from as far as away as Fiji and Yemen. Overall, they receive thousands of well-wishers year-round on various topics.
Tompkins tells FishbowlNY that Clark played a major psychological role when New York needed it most.
"For many decades, this was one of the few positive images that went out to the rest of the country of New York City and Times Square, Tompkins says. "This is the time you had Midnight Cowboy, you had Taxi Driver." Read more

Great! Let me know if this works. I had to do it for 21 days before I saw an improvement with the KP. I live in Mexico where I don't have a great variety of oil available in the stores. I regularly use coconut oil and the common vegetable oil (safflower, sunflower and canola blended) sold here in the stores for cooking.
I wish I had thought of a "before" photo, but when I started oil pulling, I had no idea it would help the Kp.
Some people report they can't start with 2 teaspoons of oil, because it tastes too strange, so they start with 1 teaspoon for 10 minutes and work up to 2 teaspoons for 20 minutes. I didn't have this problem, since I like how coconut oil tastes. Whatever oil you use, if you don't like the taste, just try a different type of oil.
Go to:
for a forum on oil pulling that may answer questions
and go to:
for information on how to do the oil pulling and other info.
Good luck

I sit on peace as chaos surrounds
sitting on silence in a world of sounds
The body wanting to play in a Sea of sharks
The mind seeing only muddied waters and trying to find clarity
In searching for peace it is often lost
When the world is violently crashing around us
Need not jump in
Look within and calm the seas with eyes and mind
removing curiousity
Find happiness in the knowledge that there is change; there is progress within.
It is not a matter to destroy your position you want to jump into the dark to see yourself overcome. Yet you may just be at the point in which you must learn to overcome the need to destroy and continue creation.

The bowel is the one of the numerous important organs in the human body. All of our toxic waste must undergo the bowel to be eliminated. A lot of people are impressed whenever they learn that it must be very typical for as much as 10 weight of waste to be stuck in the bowel at once. The thing is the average human may eat anyplace from 4-6 meals a day. The issue for the bowel arises considering the average human mayonly have a intestinal movement every 24-48 hours. That means plenty more in take than away take. The manufacturers of Colothin and the Colothin Reviews claim that product can transform all of that.
We know that waste builds up in the bowel. This toxic waste hurts you in numerous ways. For something it builds up about the bowel walls and refuses to allow the bowel to absorb the numerous as well as minerals minerals the body needs. The result is the fact that we seem hungrier and the body wants you to have so it will receive the as well as minerals minerals it desires and an unhealthy cycle commences. In addition, the waste allows toxins to circulate from the body and wreck havoc everywhere it goes. This bowel cleansing treatment is designed to provide a colothin bowel. A colothin bowel is a cleaner and healthier bowel, where waste has been lightly eliminated within the body using only colothin elements filled with all-natural herbs.
We have not been capable to find any colothin negative effects to mention. In addition we don't think that this really is some colothin hoax but instead a justifiable attempt to provide an alternative along the way of bowel cleansing. The product is designed to help eliminate the toxic waste consequently permitting the bowel to absorb the as well as minerals minerals it desires. The result ought to be we will not be as hungry and if you slow down your eating procedure you really need to get in shape. There are that flatter stomach you're trying to find and eliminate numerous unhealthy symptoms also.
When our bowel is clogged and unhealthy you experience numerous symptoms that you blame about alternative possibilities. Some of these symptoms are headaches, fatigue, deficiency of energy, petulance, irregularity, feeling swings, bloating and fuel. There are more symptoms and numerous is eliminated by taking the colothin cleanse. Over 50 billion Americans endure from some type of digestive track issues. Don't be 1 with them. All of these colothin reports cannot be wrong. It is the recommendation of that Colothin review that we take advantage of the colothin complimentary test now and receive a healthier colothin bowel tomorrow.
Within just a year from the indigenous delivery of Apple iPhone, Apple revealed an upgrade version of Apple iPhone 3G. Determined to uphold the victory of its precursor, Apple iPhone 3G provides a better smart telephone that will not be all that upgraded yet still, better. Why could it be not prevalent here like Blackberry then? I hope this article may provide a fair glimpse of that beautiful gadget, low on requirements as it can be, because I have yet try this telephone myself.
Apple iPhone is a smart telephone with virtually no hardware program secure for the home, energy plus amount button. Many of the applications are done with touch screen. Be it a online keyboard for typing content, sliding by the menus, selecting applications, it's all done with a tap or slide from the fingertip. Installed with a proximity sensor that shuts off the display plus disable touch screen when the iPhone is brought close to the face during a call plus an ambient light sensor to modify the display brightness to keep the efficiency of battery usage, as well as a 3-axis accelerometer that senses the orientation of the device therefore changing the screen accordingly, for flexibility viewing pictures, websites plus playlists, iPhone is a gaudy telephone.
Measuring four.5 inches (115 mm) (h) ÃÂ 2.4 inches (61 mm) (w) ÃÂ 0.46 inch (11. mm) (d) with 135 grams of weight, Apple iPhone holds a screen size of 3.5 in. with 480 x 320 pixels resolution at 163 ppi. With its very own OS, that has charming animation, this telephone shows text messaging, calendar, pic, camera, myspace, stocks, charts, weather, clock, calculator, notes, settings, iTunes by default on home menu with telephone, send, safari plus iPod docked at the base of the screen as primary records. Completed with 2 mega-pixels camera, wi-fi plus Bluetooth, 1 would have our society found on the palm of his hand.
So what's new on Apple iPhone 3G?
The new Apple iPhone 3G comes in slightly wider plus lighter in black or white colouring. Add a slimmer silver lining about the edge as well as a silver relate behind the speaker; 1 would scarcely see the distinctions between this new generation iPhone with the aged iPhone on first inspection. But which iPhone 3G has are able to improve:- Call: Less background buzz, louder amount plus better reception on many angles compared to the sensitive original.- Apps: third-party apps is downloaded via apps shop that are overwhelming for how it utilize the 3-axis accelerometer within its utilize, including more tunes to download via new apps.- 3G: certain it's faster than EDGE found on the original iPhone, yetit depends highly found on the coverage in your area. However, if one's not connected with 3G much, he could usually simply upgrade his iPhone software to have the ability to utilize the third-party apps for free.- GPS: Positioning comes from satellite thus it's more accurate, plus keeps live track as you progress on foot, not diminishing between high houses or passing under an overpass though naturally it must alter to neighborhood cellular system plus hot spot on entering houses. But when you utilize it in vehicle, it's not rather certain, plus it can't feed us actual time way like standalone GPS devices.
And here are several faults it still maintains:
- The curved back can be irritating on surface usage.- The new battery cost slightly not as much as half the cost of a new iPhone. Not to mention one cannot change it by himself.- This can't mark, copy plus paste.- No media messaging plus body fat delivery report. - The camera has nofocus, flash, plus autofocus work, neither may it record videos.- Or may it shares photos, videos, and/or tunes via Bluetooth.- This does not support Java plus flash.- No stereo on Bluetooth earpiece.- iPhone 3G does not come with pier plus the aged pier won't fit.
Looking at the list, having less many unimportant features clearly not infecting iPhone's victory in developed country, yet from my aim of view, it is very still rather too garish for those in developing nations, due to its attributes cannot be used to the maximum, exiting iPhone 3G as a must-have item just.

Comments about Giant Plastic Valentine's Day Heart:
I have been looking for heart shaped blow mold and soooo very excited to find them at Miles Kimball. They are very big and bold looking, they also have cut out areas for lights to illuminate if you desire....Well worth the money and will have for many years to come......
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not like it use to be

Had purchased many years ago, the heart came with light and a stake. Now no light or stake. Had cut a hole where used be one and purchase a light.The price seemed to be higher with less.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Plastic heart
By Ricracrose
from Garden state
I bought this for a friend who was born on Deb 14th but it's too cheap and blah to give as a gift. Very disappointed. Plus, the item has a place for a stick to display it, however, you do to get the stick. It also has a cutout in the back for hanging which again is nice but it does not include a suction cup or anything else to help you display it. Seems like it should've come with these two pieces, esp for the price. I think I overpaid by at least double and, it was a waste of money.
Not worth the money
By sews
from IL.
For some reason I thought it was lighted, it is not and there is no way to make it so. It has the small hole for one stake but could not find one to use and I don't think one stake will hold it upright. Not worth the money for me.

By Elaine Viets
So there I was reading my favorite blockbuster novelist, a writer with a shelf full of awards, kudos from critiques, a movie and more, when I was stopped by a stupid mistake. The angst-ridden hero tossed his clothes down the laundry shoot.
Well, chute. What happened to this normally careful and precise author? Where were his editor and copyeditor?
No, I'm not giving you this writer's name. These mistakes happen to us all. Keep reading and I'll tell you how I embarrassed myself in front of three hundred thousand readers.
Let's just say that homonyms happen.
Here are a few common mistakes that make you look like an amateur. And no gloating, please. The next brain freeze could be yours.
– It's bloody embarrassing when mystery writers have police and forensic experts talk about blood splatter. It's spatter. Get the L out of there.
– Watch those bears. Grizzly murders are cringeworthy, unless the person was killed by a bear. Grizzly is another treacherous homonym.
– Triple threat. "Peaked," "piqued" and "peeked" give writers three ways to go wrong. How often have you encountered versions of "this peaks my curiosity"? I didn't want to see it, but I'd already "piqued" at the page and knew I wasn't getting a "peek" literary experience.
– Twisted. Beer drinkers know that Heineken does not have a twist-off cap, but many writers don't. Your character needs a church key for those green bottles.
-- Jack's possessive. Jack Daniel's always has an apostrophe. I had a sobering discussion with a copyeditor who wanted to remove the apostrophe, but that's when hanging around bars paid off. I knew Mr. Daniel was possessive about his Tennessee whiskey.
– How to drive readers crazy: Get car details wrong. In 1968, hippies did not open the hood of their VW Beetles and check the engine. Beetles back then had rear-mounted, air-cooled engines. Check car details on the Internet.
– All wet. No, you do not "wet" your appetite. You sharpen it. Put that H to work.
-- Lift that bale. No, you don't tow the line. It's not a rope. Webster says when you "toe the line" you "conform rigorously to a rule or standard."
– Watch those foreign words and phrases. When I was a newspaper reporter, I wrote about a waiter who wore "liederhosen" at a German restaurant. Amazing, a reader told me. A man with singing leather pants. I should have had the waiter wearing lederhosen – leather britches.
That extra "i" made a fool out of me.

Set property values for audiorecorder object
settableProperties = set(obj)
set(obj,Name,Value) sets the named property to the specified value for the object obj.
set(obj,cellOfNames,cellOfValues) sets the properties listed in the cell array cellOfNames to the corresponding values in the cell array cellOfValues. Each cell array must contain the same number of elements.
set(obj,structOfProperties) sets the properties identified by each field of the structure array structOfProperties to the values of the associated fields.
settableProperties = set(obj) returns the names of the properties that you can set in a structure array. The field names of settableProperties are the property names.
The set function allows combinations of property name/value pairs, cell array pairs, and structure arrays in the same function call.
View the list of properties that you can set for an audiorecorder object:
recorderObj = audiorecorder; set(recorderObj)
Set the Tag and UserData properties of an audiorecorder object using a structure array:
newValues.Tag = 'My Tag'; newValues.UserData = {'My User Data', pi, [1 2 3 4]}; recorderObj = audiorecorder; set(recorderObj, newValues) % View the values all properties. get(recorderObj)
To set the value of a single property, you can use dot notation. Reference each property as though it is a field of a structure array. For example, set the Tag property for an object called recorderObj (as created in the Examples):
recorderObj.Tag = 'This is my tag.';
This command is exactly equivalent to:
set(recorderObj, 'Tag', 'This is my tag.');

Dan says: >Er... this limit is (a) not a good idea, (b) not enforced except >in things like SGMLS. I think it should go away (or become 999999, >at least). I agree with (a) most emphatically, but (b) is false. I remember testing the limits on many browsers about 7 months ago, and found that all had limits (some smaller than 1024), and some even crashed when the buffers overflowed.

Travelmath helps you find the closest airport to any city, as well as a list of smaller local airports. You can use these pages to plan your trip and figure out the easiest way to get to your destination. Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport. Use this tool along with the flight distance pages to plan your travel.

Westin Miyako
Kyoto, 605-0052, Japan
A 16-acre compound installed on the tree-covered Higashiyama Hills just outside of Kyoto, this historic 1890 hotel has hosted kings, queens, presidents, and celebrities.

Biggest issue of 2013 may center on thousands of 8-year-olds
Would it be smart policy for the state Legislature to order retentions of thousands of third-graders who are in the bottom tier on reading scores?
Debate on that question will resume Tuesday at the Capitol.
At issue is whether local school boards or the state should decide how best to help poor readers become proficient ones.
Under current law, parents can -- for one time only -- overrule a school staff that recommends holding back a student.
Republican Gov. Susana Martinez says this leads to "social promotion" -- a system in which kids are advanced to the next grade, even though they cannot do the work.
Martinez for three legislative sessions has wanted a bill to automatically hold back third-graders who score poorly on reading tests. So far, she has not gotten her way.
State Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, says Martinez's state-mandated retention plan was a copycat of a failed system in Florida.
A former teacher, Stewart, right, said legislators in January had a bill on reading that was mostly good. It would have added money and staff to help kids from pre-kindergarten through third grade become good readers.
The snag was the provision the governor wanted to force retentions, leaving parents without a say-so.
Stewart said Martinez's administration, for political purposes, wants to duplicate an initiative in Florida, even though it did not work well.
Florida kids who were held back against the will of their parents did not become better students. They became more likely to fall behind and quit school, Stewart said.
Democrats often call Martinez unwilling to compromise to find solutions. But forced retentions are an issue in which the governor has yielded on some of her demands.
In her first weeks in office last year, Martinez called for a bill requiring retentions of third-, fifth- and eighth-graders who were struggling in school.
Legislators said such a law would cause mass dropouts, especially among eighth-graders, who would give up rather than trail behind their peer group.
So Martinez, working with certain Democrats such as Rep. Mary Helen Garcia of Las Cruces, decided to focus on a retention bill that would force retentions of nobody beyond the third grade.
Kids who cannot read well by fourth grade are likely to lag behind, lose confidence and drop out of school, Martinez has said. She argued that a stand against passing along unqualified younger students must be made.
On Tuesday, the Legislative Education Study Committee will devote itself to reading issues.
It will start with a presentation from the committee staff on pre-K through third-grade reading policies and initiatives in selected states. Then staff from the Neuhaus Education Center will brief the committee on reading initiatives in Texas.
Rep. Rick Miera, D-Albuquerque, chairs the committee. In this year's legislative session, he called Martinez's plan "the third-grade flunking bill."
"It's a bill that says we want parents involved in their children's education until third grade. Then we don't care what they think," Miera, right, said last winter.
But other Democrats said the state's low rankings in academics persuaded them that a drastic step such as forced retentions was necessary.
The automatic retention bill failed to clear the House and the Senate in a 30-day session this year. In 2013, the session is 60 days.
Will the extra time matter?
It may not. Democrats such as Stewart have no confidence in Martinez's plan for forced retention of students.
In turn, Martinez campaigned on ending social promotion in New Mexico. So far she has insisted on state power to hold back underperforming third-graders.
Retaining the bottom tier of third-graders would equate to as many as 3,000 kids statewide. But drafts of earlier bills have contained so many exceptions that the number could be far lower.
That raises more questions.
If various low-performing kids were exempted from automatic retention, would social promotions really be eliminated, or would the change be mostly cosmetic?
Also, if mass retentions become law, would the Legislature year after year allocate millions of dollars to help struggling young readers through summer school, through more teacher aides and through early childhood screenings?

Mayor Nenshi Proclaims Historic Calgary Week,
Photograph courtesy Val Jobson
It is here! Mayor Nenshi launched Historic Calgary Week this past Friday at the Southern Alberta Pioneers building. There are SO many interesting programs going on this week, I can't decide where I want to go. Check out the brochure and join in on this celebration of our heritage.
So, because it is the annual celebration of our history, Calgary Public Library has launched our newest digitized collection - Historic Maps of Calgary and Alberta. Maps can be a fascinating way to look at the history of a city and its people and this collection highlights a sampling of historic Calgary maps that have been digitized from the Community Heritage and Family History's print map collection found in the Local History Room at the Central Library. The print map collection consists of hundreds of maps dating from the early 19th century and into to 21st. Below is a sample of one of the digitized maps:
Map showing Calgary in 1884
Community Heritage and Family History Map Collection, CALG 4
This map of Calgary N.W.T. shows locations and dates of early Calgary buildings and provides valuable insight into our city's history and development. For example, did you know that in 1884 the City Pound was across the street from where the Central Library is now?
Click here to see the collection, or find it through the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library (under Books & More from our website)
To see the sample of digitized maps available online, click on Digitized Map link on the collections front page. You can also access information about the hundreds of actual maps in our collection; click on the Browse All tab at the top of the page. So while we work at getting more of the maps digitized and available, you can see the real thing in the Local History room on the fourth floor at the Central Library. And keep in mind, that if you have any questions about the maps or about history or genealogy, you can contact us via our Chat Reference, by email or by telephone at 403-260-2785.

Historic Calgary week starts on July 27 and runs to August 6. The theme for this year is Culture, Commerce, Community - Connect and there are over sixty events taking place. As usual, the Calgary Public Library Community Heritage and Family History department will be presenting a program as part of this week. On Thursday August 2 at 2:00 p.m. we will be presenting "Ancestors and Their Attics 2.0 – The Century Homes Edition." This program explores just how much information you can uncover starting with just a postcard, some first names and a lot of snooping. The early version was very popular and we have continued our pursuit of the family and found even more interesting information about them and their house.

There are lots of other fascinating programs on offer. Just a few of the ones I'm looking forward to are "In the Lougheed Neigbourhood: Calgary's Great Modern Artist, Maxwell Bates" with Nancy Townshend on July 20, "What's Under Calgary" with Cory Gross on July 31, and "Reader's Legacy" on August 3. I would also like to see the City Hall Tour, the Freddie McCall program, the War of 1812, and there are also all the Century Homes to visit – and the Lion Awards on August 1. I am going to have to quit work just so I can take in all of the great offerings. You can see for yourself the wide variety of events that are going on during Historic Calgary Week by visiting the Chinook Country Historical Society website. Hope to see you at one (or all) of them.

We are going to be at Lougheed House on Saturday July 21 for their annual Ride through Time. Ride through Time is a great chance for all Calgarians to see the house and its gardens. It is a party atmosphere, with a pancake breakfast for the first 600 guests, a display of antique cars and fun and games for the whole family. This is one of our favourite events of the year because we meet a huge variety of people. Another perk is that we get to set up our display in the magnificent Lougheed House, which is the only remaining Victorian residence in Calgary.
The house has seen one hundred and twenty years of this city's development. It has ridden the booms and the busts. The house was built in a boom year, 1891, on 2.8 acres of land which was part of a larger parcel granted to Senator Lougheed in 1890 (see Land Patent below). Beaulieu was pretty much out on its own at the edge of the city. A photo in an article on the "bright future" of Calgary in the Globe of October 17, 1891 shows the house under construction with no buildings anywhere nearby. It really was out on the bald prairie. But, as the Globe article stated, Calgary's future was bright, and in a short time the city had grown and the community of what is now the Beltline was well populated. (You can read the article by going to the database "The Globe and Mail: Canada's Heritage from 1844" under History and Genealogy in our E-Library)

Central High School would be built a few years later, and, as the postcard below shows, the area was well populated by 1912.
Senator Lougheed died in 1925 and Lady Lougheed continued to live in the house, even after it had been taken by the City of Calgary for non-payment of taxes in 1934. (This was not an uncommon occurrence. Many of Calgary's great homes were seized during the depression for non-payment of taxes.) After Lady Lougheed's passing, the city organized an auction to clear the house of its furniture, art and other fixtures. The family had taken what they could but the rest was sold. I can only imagine the grief of the Lougheeds at this development.
Once the city owned the land, the question arose of what to do with it. The beautiful sandstone mansion could have been lost to the wreckers ball but, in an ironic twist of fate, the very economic downturn that had led to the city owning the house, also led to its survival. Unemployment was soaring and young people had very limited options. The Federal Government pledged one million dollars for courses to prepare young people for work. What better place to hold these classes than Beaulieu.
With the coming of World War II, the training programs ended and Beaulieu was shuttered for two years. In 1941 the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) was formed. They needed training and once again beautiful Beaulieu stood at the ready. It was converted into barracks for the women. After the war, the house was briefly a YWCA residence for demobbed service women and then came the Red Cross. They rented the building and then later purchased it. Land that was not purchased by the Red Cross was developed as small apartment building in the 70s. Eventually the Red Cross outgrew its space and once again there was talk of demolishing the building in order to build a bigger facility. It was a boom time. The small apartment buildings were knocked down to make away for larger towers. However, by 1980 we had hit a bust and the plans for the large apartment towers were abandoned. In the interim, though, Beaulieu had been declared a provincial historic resource and ownership was transferred to the province. The Red Cross was given a building nearby and a parking garage was built under the backyard.
The house lay empty for 15 years. In 1993 the city purchased the land on which the apartment buildings had stood and set it aside for park purposes. The Lougheed Estate was finally back together, though owned by two different arms of government.
The Lougheed House is a wonderful symbol of this city's history. Drop by on Saturday and say hi!

At the last general meeting of the Alberta Family Histories Society, Stampede Archivist Aimee Benoit presented the story of Guy Weadick and his wife Flores La Due. Members of the Society did some digging into the history of these two folks and were able to pull up a great deal of genealogical information. It's always lots of fun to do these "extreme" genealogies where all you have is a name and a few bits of information – we are going to be doing a version of that for Historic Calgary Week, when we present our enhanced "Ancestors and their Attics, 2.0" . But what if your family was part of the first Stampede? What kind of information could you pull up about them? I got to thinking about this as I was watching the parade and saw the great numbers of descendants of the Stampede pioneer families. What kinds of resources would be available to people who were researching folks who might have participated in some way in the Calgary Stampede over the years?
Well, I started close to home, in the Community Heritage and Family History collection here at the Central Library. We have a great deal of information and artifacts from the Stampede including things like souvenir programs, annual reports, prize lists. For example, did you know that in 1968 the first prize for an appliquéd cotton quilt in the Needlework and Homecrafts display was $5.00? Or that, in 1912, Fannie Sperry from Mitchell Montana won a gold mounted belt and 1000 dollars cash for winning the Cowgirl Bucking Horse World Championship? (I didn't even know that there was a women's bucking horse contest – good on 'em) Even if you're not researching your own family, we have a wealth of ephemera (that means the kind of stuff you generally toss out after the event) that paints a very intimate and interesting picture of what the Stampede was like over the years. Great for filling in family history stories or just for idle curiosity.
Of course, we have an excellent collection of photographs, especially from the first Stampede. If you had an ancestor who was a cowboy or cowgirl, you might find his or her picture in the CHFH Digital Library. The photo at the top is from, I believe, sometime in the 1940s, and shows Wally Lindstrom participating in the Steer Decorating competition. Wally was the Canadian Saddle Bronc Champion in 1941 but he competed in other events so he could be considered for the All Around title.
The photo below shows Tex McCloud riding a "squalling bronc" in the 1912 Stampede. Is he, perhaps, an ancestor? Let us know if you have any rodeo in your roots. We'd love to hear from you!
(Of course there are other repositories that you can visit for Stampede history. The Glenbow Museum and Archives has a great collection as do the Stampede Archives. The Stampede Archives have an online presence through the Alberta Heritage Digitization Project at the U of C. Check it out.)

Well, it's nearly here! The 100th anniversary Calgary Stampede begins with the parade on Friday. The parade is, for many, the most important part of the Stampede celebration. The streets are lined with thousands of folks, many of them dressed up in western regalia. The first Stampede parade I can remember was in 1965. Walt Disney was the parade marshal, and if I'm not mistaken, Mickey Mouse was here, too. I may have been at other, earlier, parades as my parents loved the Stampede and my dad's office was right on the route. I wouldn't have been one yet when Bing Crosby was parade marshal, but I bet my parents took me to that one – they were Bing Crosby fans. I don't remember the Three Stooges, but I bet I was at that one, too as my brother was a die-hard fan.

My favourites were always the marching bands and the mini-cars. Those seemed to be pretty standard over the years. I live near a wide open field so I get a sneak preview of some of the marching bands as they practice (at 9:00 in the morning on the weekends, mind you). My other faves were the First Nations representatives who have been an integral part of the Stampede since the beginning. And with the 100th anniversary Stampede parade, the chiefs of the Treaty Seven Nations are going to be honourary parade marshals. It is going to be something, I tell ya.

I believe that everybody, even those of us with curmudgeonly tendencies, loves a parade. And it seemed that in the days before we were inundated with entertainment options, parades were a very common event. Military bands paraded up and down the streets, returning soldiers paraded through the city, there was a parade on the opening of baseball season, (for which the mayor had declared a half-day off for the city). There were Victory Bond parades, which included floats and fire eaters supplied by Cappy Smart and the fire department. It seems that on any excuse, a parade was held. This must have been a very interesting time. Some of the fanciest parades, pre - Stampede, were for the Dominion Exhibitions that were held here. The postcard below is a photo of a Roman chariot in the parade for the Dominion Exhibition of 1908.

So, the parade itself is a nostalgic event, from a time when you could just get up a bunch of yahoos and march down the street for any good reason. I like that. Let's bring that spirit to the 100th Anniversary Stampede Parade and get your yahoos out.
