Misdemeanor charges are being filed against a former account clerk at the Nevada County Sheriff's office after $13,000 was discovered missing from jail funds. Sheriff Keith Royal says Yvonne Cantrell is no longer employed at the county and the charges stem from monies that were collected as an administrative fee by inmates assigned to home detention.
"At this point in time, we have had charges filed by the District Attorney, which are misdemeanor charges, and it's under the government code and it deals with a responsibility by public officials who receive fines and forfeitures and refuse or neglect to pay over, or make deposits, in a timely fashion and here it's specified within 30 days."
The sheriff says his office became aware that county funds were missing late last year and an investigation was begun. The sheriff says the misdemeanor charges were filed now because there is a one year limitation on filing those charges. He says an investigation into felony embezzlement of the missing $13,000 is still underway.

Comments about OSPREY Talon 22 Daypack:
I needed a lightweight comfortable hiking backpack because my lower back was bothering me. This has been perfect. My first hike with the pack was Mt Washington. It held a lined rain jacket, hat, gloves, light sweater, long underwear, water, camera, and a few smaller items. We got lunch at the top. I wasn't sure if I should get the 20 or the 30 but the 20 works for day hiking. I choose sm/med and am 5'3'.

Beyond Napa Valley: Lesser-Known U.S. Wine Regions
California wine regions, like the famous Napa Valley, are home to a whopping 89 percent of the still wine produced in the United States. Never underestimate the underdog, though, as there are scores of other regions around the U.S. that produce Napa-quality wine. Since 1980, The U.S. Department of Treasury has designated wine grape-growing regions in the U.S., called American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), based on geographic features. The first, surprisingly, was in Missouri! Today there 200 designated AVAs, and chances are there's one that's close to you.
Interested in exploring the wonderful world of wine even more? Learn the five facts you MUST know about wine and learn how to better read wine labels.
By Gabrielle Saulsbery
Old Mission Peninsula
State: Michigan
Wine Region Origin: 1863, revived in 1934
Specialty Grapes: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Vidal, Chambourcin
Michigan's nearly 15,000 acres of vineyard are mostly dedicated to growing Concord grapes for juice, but about 13 percent of the vines are grown to produce wine. The lake-effect weather from Lake Michigan helps lengthen the growing season by four weeks. Old Mission Peninsula is worth a visit during blossom season for all the beautiful views of the flowers and the water. Go to a Women's Wine Weekend event at Chateau Chantel or take a wine tasting cruise with Tall Ship Manitou. Michigan wine may not be the most famous, but those who've experienced it know that it's worth talking about.

Having more than one wife is a fantasy of many Western males, but polygamy in humans or elsewhere in nature isn't necessarily good for all the males involved. For instance, polygamy practiced by some 19th century Mormon men had the curious effect of suppressing the number of children born to Mormon women in plural marriages: The more "sister-wives" a Mormon woman had, the fewer children of her own she was likely to produce. This doesn't seem to be a problem for modern day Muslims, who are allowed to have 4 wives, since worldwide Muslim populations are burgeoning.
Biologist Michael Wade says, "Although it's great in terms of number of children for successful males to have harems, the data show that for every new woman added to a male's household, the number each wife produced goes down by one child or so. This regression is known as a 'Bateman gradient,' named after the geneticist who first observed a similar phenomenon in fruit flies."
Indeed, polygamy is a bad thing for most males of a species. According to Wade, "When the ratio of sexes is about equal, for every male that has three mates, there must be two males that have none. If a male has even more mates, then the disparity among male 'reproductive' haves and have-nots can become quite great."
Sex with ET? It's one of the surrealistic things that happens to contactees that they don't always want to talk about. If YOU want someone to talk with about it, come meet new friends who have had some of the same experiences YOU'VE had at our Dreamland Festival in June!
Cripes, I couldn't keep one woman happy . . .
From a biological point of view human beings are not monogamous, like most if not all primates. This does not mean that polygamy is necessarily justified. It means that strict marriage ethics may prove to be difficult, but certainly not impossible, to maintain, as we can see every day. The upside is that our art, music and literature are very much inspired by the difficulties arising from reconciling both the monogamous marriage and our biological precondition.

Frame Rating Dissected: Full Details on Capture-based Graphics Performance Testing
Capture Hardware and Extracting the Data
Capture Hardware
Once we have the overlay working, the next step in our Frame Rating process is to actually capture the video for later analysis. While that sounds easy, it is far from the case. Capturing the video on the testing system is out of the question. Instead we are using an external capture system built around an Ivy Bridge platform and a high-end capture card from Datapath, the VisionDVI-DL.
This card is capable of capturing video at 2560x1600 at 60 Hz with throughput as high as 650 MB/s. We were actually the first customer for this card in the US and have spent quite a few days on the phone with driver engineers to make sure this kind of testing process was successful. Meant mainly for single frame captures, getting the VisionDVI-DL to really meet the specifications turned out to be a more complicated process than we'd hoped. The good news is we have it all figured out now and can reliably capture the necessary video.
The VisionDVI-DL essentially acts like and shows up as a monitor to the system. It reports an EDID (extended display identification data) to the graphics card that is set through the driver on the capture system. I am able to emulate a 1920x1080 monitor at 60 Hz refresh and up to a 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz as well. Using a Gefen dual-link DVI splitter we can connect a single display output to the NVIDIA or AMD GPU (to avoid the issues of power consumption and GPU utilization with multiple monitors attached) and split the signal to our capture card and to a monitor for us to actually play the games.
With a data rate of nearly 500 MB/s when capturing video at 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz, some serious storage speed was needed for this capture system. I decided to use our Pegasus R4 Thunderbolt array coupled with a set of four Corsair Force GS 240GB SSDs running in an RAID 0 array, giving us about 900 MB/s of write capability.
I cannot overestimate the importance of a completely correct capture in this step of the Frame Rating process. If you deviate from the 60 Hz record rate even a single frame the data becomes basically useless. Dropping a frame on the capture side would show up as dropped frames from the graphics card so avoiding that is paramount. The software used for this capture will likely be VirtualDub on other sites that you see, and that was the program we used originally too. However, the inability to automate the settings and having to re-adjust the options each time you load the program became a hassle so we developed our own that uses DirectShow filters and the Windows Platform SDK.
Extracting the Data
Once you have the recorded raw AVI file, (that is about 25GB – yes GB – from a 60 second capture at 2560x1440) the next step is to actually read the colored bars and generate frame time data, runt data and drop data. Using a basic DSP application, the extractor reads in each frame of the video sequentially and determines the number of scanlines in height that each color on the overlay bar has and records that information in an XLS file.
This is probably the most fool-proof part of the process. I have uploaded a few example XLS files right here for you to see the output.
Horse shit:
Moral of the story, get this before it goes out of stock:
It's a card of very limited availability and is one hell of a damn good card.
Best cooler, only Tantalum caps and no cylindrical caps over VRM area, backplated, best looking. Such a boss. Reminds me of those black 68 Mustang Bosses.
Great Job, Ryan and team. No, Amazing job. I've been following your frame rating articles from the first one and I've been waiting for this full reveal for a long time.
I do hope you show some frame rating benches for the GTX TITAN too (cause I own one now).
I am finding it tough not to conclude that AMD's two GPU system is completely broken although it baffles me that a company of their scale could not detect/think of such issues.
They have been known to take shortcuts on drivers before. http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/567681-should-i-switch-out-m... (I'm only getting this from a reliable NBR forumer).
AMD drivers are put out by a single guy called Catalyst Maker... he has a little team to help him out, but after all, he's just one guy.
That's why they suck.
It's been this way for AGES. The last cards that didn't in one way or another suck, were the X1950's which were made by ATi and not AMD.
Also, dual 7900 setups aren't "completely broken". That's just your pointless assumption.
If there's anything that's "completely broken", it's your wallet for shelling out $1000 for a dumbass card.
AMD/ATI used to have a smaller driver team than NV, but actually when AMD bought ATI and started down the APU path... they hired a lot more folks to support these products. Catalyst Maker was originaly Terry Makedon, but he has moved onto marketing more than software development. There are (iirc) several groups now working on drivers, but their workload is arguably greater than it was before. Supporting several different architectures spanning from GPUs to APUs is certainly no easy task, and I think they continue to hire more people. Reviews like this provide a lot more impetus inside companies to improve their products, and the software drivers certainly are the quick fix are for AMD now.
I think that NV still has a larger driver team, and that massive server room that pretty much only works on nightly builds of drivers from NV is still much bigger than what AMD has. However, AMD is not as far behind as many think. But obviously from what we have seen here, and read about from other sources, their focus was not exactly where it needed to be.
That's nice and all to amd but it looks like half a decade of total screw job right now, and outright fraud.
just leave this website man.
Would you kindly... leave this website man. Thanks.

Heh, you can address me. It won't offend. As long as I don't offend Ryan, I could be good.

Lift my cock while you're there as well.
I agree John Doe is retarded and needs to leave. I think he's is trying to pick up dudes on this site he keeps telling people to suck his dick. Why don't you just go to chat roulette if you want to get your rocks off man.

LOL that's hilarious.
That's all.
Don't tell the truth, the haterz then come forth...
I mean how many times can we give AMD the most gigantic pass ?
Not on this - this new tech with the single card to suck up the actual frames delivered to the end gamer screen with the quad SSD's to take all that in on the fly - this is called PROGRESS, and it has exposed a huge, huge amd flaw.
I feel sorry for all those foolish amd fanboys who screamed at me to buy two amd and crossfire it's a better deal and OC and blah blah blah blah - it's now a big joke.
All those "top crossfire amd gamerz" denying what was right on their screens before them - now the scientific facts show what was before them runts and ghost frames...
I haven't seen a bigger emerging scandal in the video card wars ever.
I am very interested in seeing how it plays out. Of course I will accept NO EXCUSES from amd or their fans. I never have before, but this is an even bigger mess up than even I considered AMD capable of pulling, and that is saying an aweful lot.
You just keep doing your thing and laughing at the haterz, they should be ashamed of themselves honestly.
I want to see if they went with runt and ghost frames after the 69xx series was outed as junk for crossfire by HardOcp with Terry Makedon there in the forums- AMD "became aware" according to that head Cat Maker that there "was a problem" and my guess is the solution was runts and ghosts.
That would keep the DAMAGE to the last 2 major series - but I want data all the way back to 3870/3870X2 to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
so basically what i'm getting from this story and the one at anand is that amd has been reviewed over the years with inflated fraps #s due to more runt and drop frames that are no good to gamers?
You are absolutely right, AMD's setups have fraudulently inflated their benchmark numbers for years which have helped them sell products and grow their % of discrete market share. This really is the most groundbreaking reveal I've ever come across in the gaming industry.
It's not like nVidia hasn't done it either:
Yeah, I'm sure AMD's share of the discrete market has grown thanks to inflated Xfire numbers. I mean, so many people have multi-GPU setups in the first place, amirite?
Plus, jumping to the conclusion that there's deliberate "fraud" going on can only be the result of deluded fanboy thought processes. Considering FCAT is the first tool that can really show this behavior, it's rather more reasonable to believe that AMD was simply unaware of it.
Alright, let me get it the easily way for you.
What the hell does the inflated CF performance figures have to do with the frame latencies? NOTHING.
The frame latency is a problem only because AMD has yet to be able to completely man up the GCN architecture.
No, fraps showed the problem, and the extended FCAT has only highlighted it even more.
The other thing that showed the problem - countless end user complaints, many times raging radeon fanboys screaming you cannot see beyond 30fps because "the human eye is incapable of it", something we call fanboy fantasy, apologetics, excuses, denial, brain washed psycho hardcore amd total verdetrol absolutist.
There are a lot of them, and that unfortunately has allowed amd to scam the entire industry for this long.
You see we still have a boatload of deniers here. Total amd fanboys, nothing will ever change their minds, no facts are facts they can accept if the facts prove amd sucks.
Yes it is, but the river in Egypt will start to grow to cover the entire earth for the amd fanboys, oh wait it already has.
BURNED in the extreme, the failure of crossfire, the scam of the decade.
Ghosts and runts, but boy oh boy our fps looks frappalicious !
LOL - so, so pathetic.
nVidia's SLI monsters ? ZERO runts, ZERO ghost frames.
PERFECTION incarnate.
Let's review:
nVidia - perfect execution, no cheating no runts, no ghost frames
amd - lying failure, HALF OF THE FRAMERATE IS A LIE. ghost runt every other frame !
ROFL amd you truly suck as bad as I have been saying for half a decade, wait no, you are worse.
Now we will get treated to endless excuses, denials, it doesn't matter, who cares, and all the rest of the radeon ragers standard operating apologetic procedures they have gang banged on the net for years.
Watch for this development: amd fanboys new spewing propaganda
" using two cards is a hassle, you should buy a single card, and just upgrade when the next best single card comes out like the 7970 with how great it is. Who wants to waste money on two cards, it's like <1% of gamers, so no one really does this at any end user level except fanatics, it's just not needed and is a budget buster. "
LOL - A thousand excuses already coming
How does changing Render Frame Ahead/Pre-Rendering affect Crossfire and SLI? In Battlefield 3, people are saying it gets smoother if you change it to 0 or 1 vs the default value of 3.
Thanks for your great analysis and extremely informative video.
Battlefield 3
Guide: How to Fix Low FPS - Stuttering - Lag
There is a well documented stuttering fix for both Nvidia and AMD users on multiple forums. I've tried this for my HD 4870 Crossfire setup and it works. This particular user from the above link has a NVIDIA GTX 470.
5.Open notepad and paste this into it and save it as "user.cfg" inside your "program files/origingames/battlefield3" folder:
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapEnable 0
Render.DrawFps 1
With this applied to the game, are there any differences? Render Ahead seems to really affect these results and it would be nice if it were tested with FCAT.
Do you like Winger?
They're really a crappy band but they have some decent stuff LOL.
Absolutely fantastic work Ryan. This article really blew me away and gave me a lot of tools to better understand what I've been dealing with at home. One question though: you point out that vsync can solve most of amds problems provided the frame rate doesn't have to drop from 60 to 30, in which case the drastic stutter caused by such a change adversely impacts smoothness. What if instead of using vsync you used a frame rate limit that corresponded with the apps average framerate? This way when the frame rate dips below that threshold it isn't cutting its' self in half as it would with vsync and in theory not introducing nearly as much stutter.
I advised my friend to do this with his dual 6950 setup in far cry 3 and he said it gave excellent subjective performance. I used the same method for my single 7970 and also noticed a nice bump to the smoothness of the game, but again this is all subjective. It would be awesome if you could test this as if proven correct it would give a lot of amd owners the tools to make the best of a bad situation.
Again thanks for the tremendous work you've done here, this is truly awesome work.
Quick question- Could Lucidlogix's Virtual Vsync technology help out with the CrossFire issues?
Not that this would let AMD off the hook as this needs to be taken care of in-house, but could it help?
That's a nice question.

2 pounds
red potatoes, cut into evenly sized pieces
fresh thyme sprigs, or to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch
cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/2 large
red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
Terrific recipe! It is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it.
Thanks Chef John.
I made this recipe last night as a side to the Chicken Cordon Bleu II recipe on this site. (also an awesome recipe!) I'm not a potato lover in general b/c I think they are too starchy and bland. This recipe was delicious and super flavorful! I followed the recipe exactly with only two changes. I substituted Savory (dried) because I did not have fresh or dried rosemary or thyme on hand. I used it generously. And since I'm not wild about potatoes, I cut the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces, so you get less potato center in proportion to the crusted browned edges. Use a small metal spatula to get under the potatoes without breaking them up instead of a spoon. Oh, I also added yellow peppers to the red ones suggested. It made the dish so pretty! A wonderful recipe that I will definitely make again, especially for company since holding them only enhances the flavor!

I always thought roasting 'taters was sooo easy. Truth is, sometimes they were good and sometimes, not so much. This requires more time but less stressing over sticking and burning. The outside of the potatoes were nicely browned and the insides were smooth and soft. Don't rush this but keep an eye on them the last 15 minutes, mine were cut a bit smaller and were done beforehand. I just used my iron fry pan in the oven and it worked very well. Thanks, Chef John!
Just like the video suggested, I used fresh rosemary instead of thyme because that's what I had. These were a great side-dish!
Tried as written the potatoes were good by the dish was lacking. Made them again when my daughter and her famiuly came over. Added brussel sprouts onions and parmesan. It was great even the baby (5yo) wanted more.
P.S. everything is better with garlic......
LOVE! My husband and I fight over the crispy potatoes and this recipe helps make them all so crispy and yummy!!!
I followed the recipe as written and these potatoes turned out perfectly. Crispy and nicely browned on the outside but moist and yummy on the inside. Served this with Sage Pork Chops from this site. I wanted to take a photo but they were gone before I had the chance...
Terrific. I have tried many recipes but this one was the best. Thank you sooo much. Keep up the good work

Senior Companion Program
Senior companions provide support and friendship to those who need assistance with shopping, errands and other everyday tasks necessary in maintaining independence. Without this help, many older adults would be forced to leave their homes for assisted living facilities or nursing homes. In Mesa county, seniors 60 years and older, receive help and friendship through St. Mary's Senior Companion Program.
Helping Adults Remain Independent
About Our Program
Volunteers assist adult clients in basic but essential ways
- Offering companionship and friendship to isolated and frail adults
- Help with activities such as grocery shopping, errand and bill paying
- Providing transportation to shopping and medical appointments
- Adding richness to their clients' lives
Who Can be a Senior Companion
Senior Companions are individuals age 55 or over who want to help adults with special needs remain independent and living in their own homes.
You must be able to serve 2 to 3 hours per week.

The Ticket Reselling Scandal exposed by Channel 4's Dispatches documentary aired on February 23rd has pulled in artists and managers.
The programme claimed that promoters sold to reseller sites such as viagogo and Seatwave directly. These retailers then sold the tickets on at hugely marked up prices as "secondary" tickets.
Now Paul Latham—the COO of one of the promoters accused of such practices, Live Nation—has told Music Week that such activities were only undertaken with the "participation" of the artists and their management.
"Live Nation has never listed tickets in the secondary market without the participation of the artists or management," claimed Latham to Music Week. "Indeed, when we have, the allocation is not more than 3% of the total available tickets for sale."
Live Nation—who work with artists including Madonna and U2—was accused in the Dispatches exposé of selling 2,200 tickets for Rihanna's UK tour and over 3,000 tickets for Westlife's 2012 tour to viagogo. Other promoters including SJM, Metropolis and 3A entertainment have also been connected with the practice with SJM reportedly selling 29,000 tickets for Take That's 2011 tour and 9,000 tickets for Coldplay's upcoming Stadium tour to viagogo.Article continues below
Viagogo—which uses the tag line "Real Tickets for Real Fans"—has already defended its activities with its UK Director, Ed Parkinson, claiming to Music Week that it was "misrepresented" in C4's "The Great Ticket Scandal" programme.
You can read the whole three-page special on the Dispatches documentary in this week's Music Week edition.

Detroit Waza Flo Advance to Open Finals
(Detroit, MI)- Detroit heads home with back-to-back victories, adding to their first place Eastern Division record of 12-2. With wins in both Rockford (beating the Rampage 14-10) and a double duty league/US Open game in Chicago (beating the Mustangs 9-6) the WAZA FLO are poised at the top of their division and also advance to the US Open final to be held in Detroit against the San Diego Sockers (date to be announced).
What looked to be a Saturday evening blow out in Rockford, with Detroit leading 11-2 after the third, quickly turned dicey in the fourth as the Rampage took advantage of several Detroit man down opportunities. Rockford started a scoring spree netting eight goals to Detroit's three bringing the game a little too close for comfort, to end in a 14-10 victory for WAZA. Stand out performances for Detroit came from Miki Djerisilo, Zack Wilkes, and Niki Djokic, each netting a pair, and Worteh Sampson with a hat trick.
Chicago, still hurting from their December 8-7 loss in Detroit (with a winning goal by Costea Decu with 0:54 on the clock) looked to exact revenge with a packed house in Hoffman Estates IL. Detroit came ready to play quickly putting three points on the board in the first. With back and forth goals in the second and third, the Mustangs evened the score and took a brief lead. Detroit extinguished any hopes in the fourth netting three unanswered goals, sealing both the league game victory and the US Open final position. "I am more than proud of my team and their performances this weekend", said coach Dominic Scicluna, "and am very much looking forward to the US Open final against San Diego on our home turf".
Stand out performances were had by Fernando Gatica, Zane Polack and Costea Decu each with two goals, Worteh Sampson and Miki Djerislio, both with two assists, and player/coach Dominic Scicluna with a goal and assist. Another notable standout was Detroit's goalie Joey Kapinos, with 32 saves in the Match.
Detroit WAZA FLO returns to their home field Saturday February 2nd when they take on the Ohio Vortex at the Taylor Sportsplex, 7:30 kick-off.

Posted By alz03 On August 11, 2010 @ 3:29 am In Treatment Care | No Comments
When is guardianship necessary?
If an individual is incompetent and has not designated an agent to act on his or her behalf by executing a General Durable Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy, it may become necessary to file a legal action seeking appointment of a guardian.
How does someone obtain guardianship?
A petition must be filed with the court seeking the appointment of a guardian. Guardianship is the imposition of an involuntary court supervised decision-maker. A court must find a person to be mentally incapacitated and in need of someone to step in as decision-maker before a guardian will be appointed on behalf of that person. Whenever possible, a better alternative is to do the necessary planning ahead of time so that a guardianship is unnecessary.
What is the role of a guardian?
The central responsibilities of the guardian are to decide where the ward (the person on whose behalf decisions are being made) will live and how personal and medical care, meals, transportation, socialization and recreation will be provided. Additionally, guardians are to identify, collect and take control of the ward's property (real and personal), establish a budget, pay the ward's debts according to ability and priority, prudently invest the ward's property when appropriate, and report to the court as directed about the status of the ward's estate.
If I am the guardian of my parent, what happens if we move to another state?
You should check with the state from which you are moving and the state to which you are moving to determine the proper procedure for transferring the guardianship to the new state. Unfortunately, there are not yet any uniform procedures that can be followed.

Plein Air to Studio
Michael Workman
April 21-25, 2014
For Michael Workman, the act of painting usually starts with an emotional response to the landscape and is ultimately completed by the viewers through their emotional responses to the painting. A delicate balance is achieved in his paintings between realism and abstraction. The landscape can be dramatic, moody and subtle. Michael Workman's art is blended in a play between opposites on a variety of levels: classicism and romanticism, thin and thick paint, warm and cool colors, careful planning and spontaneity. "That flirtation between yin and yang is by design, because in Workman's view, mastering those opposites is a source of unparalleled magic." (SouthWest Art, September 1996).
This workshop will emulate Michael's working process including the plein air experience but mainly developing work in the studio. Michael will demonstrate and lecture for all the students while allowing plenty of one-on-one time for discussion and critique designed to help each student achieve their own personal vision. Students should already have basic drawing skills and prior experience with landscape painting.
Payment Options: Students may pay in full or choose the payment-plan option during registration. The payment plan requires a non-refundable $100 deposit with the balance due 30 days before the first day of the workshop.
In this class we will paint mostly from photographs so bring photos that you might want to work from and a camera as there is some fantastic subject matter in the area. We will talk a lot about what makes good photos for painting and what to look for when you are out in the field. This is mostly a landscape class so don't bring photos of people, pets etc.
Bring a lap top computer if you have one. It is really nice to be able to edit photos and paint from the laptop screen.
I encourage self-direction and personal discovery and want to help students find their own way to solve art problems. If you have a palette of colors that you feel good about use them. However, for those who want to know exactly what I do here is a list of colors that I use:
I prefer to paint on a rigid panel but if you like stretched canvas use that. I highly recommend quality materials so keep that in mind when coming to this class. Don't bring any cheap canvas cardboard panels or cheap student grade paints. You get what you pay for and quality materials are a much better investment. Bring plenty of rags, paint thinner and a portable open-air type easel.
For the students that want to do a "paint along with Mike" which is something I have been doing in workshops lately where everyone paints from the exact same image on the same size panel etc. Bring a rigid 12"x12" panel primed with gesso and ready to paint on. Other than that panel, bring what you are comfortable with.
If you have some images of some recent work bring those so I can see where you are.
People always ask me what books I recommend. Here is a couple to think about buying if you don't already have them:
John F. Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting and Edgar Payne book on composition.
About Michael Workman
When asked for an artist statement I try to keep it simple; I am a "contemporary traditionalist". I know that sounds contradictory, but I hope I can be up-to-date, and still honor tradition. One thing that is consistent in art history, is the opposition between different ideas, i.e.: contemporary vs. traditional, romantic vs. classic, naturalistic vs. abstract, etc. I decided years ago not to choose between the opposites, but instead work to bring them together in a beautiful way.
My watchword is beauty. It is not difficult to see that we live in a world that is full of turmoil. On the other hand, it is easy to be tempted by the cliche. Rather than choose between angst or picturesque beauty, I hope to offer a reminder that there is beauty in the ordinary. When asked for an artistic statement one is tempted to try to impress with intellectual rhetoric, but my statement is simple: "There are still good things."

It's an appreciated change of pace when a team of developers can simply state their goal. Over on the BAMF site, the developers intro the Paradigm ROM with, "When we set out to build this ROM, we wanted to keep the feel as stock as possible while adding as much functionality as possible. The primary concern was always stability and user experience." That's what a flasher likes to hear. From my short time with the ROM on my own Galaxy Nexus, I have found it to be a fantastic example of pure AOSP with the perfect mix of customizable options and system optimizations. (more…)

Android Build JRO03L ROM Released for Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE and Nexus 7
After hitting the AOSP servers, Android build JRO03L of Jelly Bean has already been turned into a custom ROM that is ready for flashing on the VZW Galaxy Nexus and Google's Nexus 7 tablet. It's still Android 4.1.1 and there is no official changelog that we've seen yet. If you're in a flashing mood, simply download this file and flash through ClockworkMod. A wipe is recommended if coming from anything else.

Custom ROM Friday: Liquid Smooth Alpha 6 for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus
Yea, we know – it's been too long. For today's custom ROM, we have Team Liquid's Jelly Bean Liquid Smooth Alpha 6 for the Galaxy Nexus. Liquid's goal is to create the smoothest and fastest ROM's out there, while also being able to deliver plenty of visual customization options. Some of the custom features include 5 lockscreen targets, a custom kernel for overclocking, and notification bar toggles for those who need instant access to system settings. (more…)
AOKP Jelly Bean Preview Build Released for Verizon's Galaxy Nexus
For everyone that has been waiting on the Android Open Kang Project team to release a build for the Galaxy Nexus that incorporated Jelly Bean, you can download a "preview build" that was released just a coupe of days ago. It has all of the Android 4.1.1 goodness you have been dying for, along with some added AOKP goodies.
From what I've found so far, they have only just begun to add all of the fancy customizations. For now, you can have toggles in the pull down menu, clock and battery mods, and of course, those awesome AOKP custom wallpapers. (more…)
ClockworkMod Recovery 6 Released for Galaxy Nexus, ROM Manager Overhaul is on the Way Too
Last week, Koush talked about a release of ClockworkMod Recovery 6 that would include a handful of new features. Last night, we released the update for the Galaxy Nexus, bringing with it faster backups, a new backup format, fixed restoring of backups greater than 2GB, and a fancy new background. If you want to update to this right away, you can do so through ROM Manager.
Speaking of ROM Manager, he also announced that everyone's favorite ROM flasher is in need of a makeover. A UI rewrite will arrive "shortly" and will include a paid ROM section, an option to upload your ROM for anyone to use, and the ability to connect your ROM to Recovery Builder. It's hard to believe that this fantastic app has been around for 2 years already. Bring on the makeover!

WugFresh's Root Tookit 1.5 Supports All Nexus Devices Including the Nexus 7
When your Nexus 7 arrives, you should be able to unlock its bootloader, root it, and have a custom recovery up in a matter of minutes. After all, it is a Nexus. But if doing things the manual way isn't for you or you simply don't have enough time to type "fastboot oem unlock," then a root toolkit should be right up your alley. WugFresh built one a while back that continues to be updated with support for new Nexus devices, including the Nexus 7. Without having to worry about drivers and the Android SDK, you can use a root toolkit like this, press a couple of buttons, and be on your way.
Cheers John, Shannon, and Mike!
Bugless Beast 4.1 for LTE Galaxy Nexus Released
Our buddy, Peter Alfonso, is still crankin' out AOSP ROMs to this day. Last night, he released Bugless Beast for the LTE Galaxy Nexus (toro), which we recommend you jump on if you have yet to flash a Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) ROM. Pete usually keeps things as clean as possible, meaning he doesn't add a bunch of fluff to his builds. If you are looking for something about as stock as it gets, this would be one to consider.
He did toss in Chrome as the default browser, gave you free native tethering, Google Wallet, louder audio output, and improved scrolling. He also recommends that you "download offline speech recognition package in Google Search settings once ROM is installed." Google Apps are included. You may need to do a full wipe going from ICS to JB, but it's up to you.

Love them but would suggest the rectangle over square..
Love in the Woods Square Invitations I love these invitations, they turned out fantastic with our personalized colors and the design with the birch is lovely. We went for the pearl paper which turned out very nice, even the envelopes look great! But.... While they warn you that the square size requires extra postage, I did not think it would be double the postage for only about 1mm over the size limit! I thought it may be a bit more to send the square but had I known it requires two stamps instead of one to send them I would have gone for the rectangular option. The post office made it sound like they were only a millimeter over the size limit but maybe its anything square shaped. Either way, its double the price than the rectangle!
Amazing products!!
Living Dream Square Invitations Ordered my save the dates and invitation from Magnet Street. They went well past my expectations. Loved them so much and got lots of compliments. They were affordable, great quality and fast!! And they come in a super cute box
Great value for a unique card.
Love in the Woods Square Invitations Very glad I ordered through Magnet Street! They helped make my special day perfect.
Living Dream Square Invitations I was not only happy with these invites, the customer service at Magnet Street was unparalleled! I would recommend them to anyone! I got these invites with an RSVP card and detail card and put them in a petal holder with a wrap around it. They look so unique and elegant, I absolutely loved them. The ONLY drawback to these invitations is the size. Because they were 1/8" too wide, I paid an extra .46 cents per invite.

Urban Atlanta Church Planting (UACP) is a cooperative effort to engage urban lostness by intentionally planting relevant reproducing congregations inside Atlanta's I-285 perimeter that produce community transformation through:
Prayer - Praying for lost and unchurched people on a daily basis
Engagement - Engaging unreached people in small groups
Sowing - Sharing the good news and the truth of scripture in every way possible
Harvesting - Developing contextual evangelistic strategies and events, then following up and assimilating new believers into Bible Study and worship, and developing Jesus followers.
Would you consider becoming a partner with one of the new churches? It can be a church reaching second generation Asians or Asian Indians, Russians or Koreans or Hispanics; it can be one of the multi-cultural churches or one that uses hip-hop to communicate the gospel; it can be a traditional church or one that is planted in the midst of an older church in order to continue a gospel legacy; or it might be one of the churches being established in multihousing communities or affluent neighborhoods. Come on one of the vision tours and let God speak to you.
Goals of UACP are to assist in planting 100 churches by December 2014 and to assist in planting 1200 churches and missional communities by 2020.

My Morning Jacket Hosts a Three-Night Run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester This Weekend
My Morning Jacket
Thu., Dec. 27 (w/ Deer Tick), Fri., Dec. 28 (w/ Antibalas) & Sat., Dec. 29 (w/ Floating Action), 8 p.m. The Capitol Theatre, 149 Westchester Ave., Port Chester, NY. (914) 937-4126. thecapitoltheatre.com. $56.
When My Morning Jacket settles in for a sure-to-become-legendary three-night residency at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester this weekend, it'll be up to you to help choose what they play. The band is letting fans vote for songs they feel should be on their setlists via Twitter: For Thursday's show, use hashtag #mmjPC1 to make your request. For Friday it's #mmjPC2, and Saturday #mmjPC3. There will be no repeats from one night to the next, so it's probable that some truly unique performances will result.
MMJ first utilized the concept on their summer tour, and they dubbed it the Spontaneous Curation Series. Using this method for three back-to-back shows with no repeats will further enhance the benefits of the idea.
Bassist Tom "Two-Tone Tommy" Blankenship, who's been in the band since its founding in 1998, explains:
"It's fun," he says. "It's like a Choose your Own Adventure kind of thing, at least for fans. It keeps us on our toes and it keeps us from creating the same set list over and over again. Sometimes you kind of get stuck in that rut of what's comfortable and what combinations of songs really work out."
A couple years back, in a similar multiple-show situation, the band played five nights in a row at Terminal 5 in NYC and they played a different album in its entirety each show. It forced them to rediscover some old songs that hadn't yet been played by the current five-piece MMJ lineup. "Butch Cassidy" from the 1999 album The Tennessee Fire, for example, had never been played in front of a crowd until then.
"It's become one of my favorites to play live," says Blankenship. "With this lineup we're doing songs that we'd never done with the five of us and it really feels like [the songs] have a new spirit and life to them."
Frontman Jim James is releasing his debut solo record Regions of Light and Sound of God on February 5th, and while he's touring in support it's going to give the rest of the band a well-deserved rest and an opportunity to pursue other projects. (Guitarist Carl Broemel is working on another solo record; drummer Patrick Hallihan is working around Nashville; keyboardist Bo Koster is doing some producing. Blankenship is starting a new project in New York.)
These three shows at the Cap will be followed by a New Year's Eve show in Boston and a Hurricane Sandy benefit in Jersey on January 2nd, but then that's it — there are no more shows scheduled. Most likely that signals the end of the album cycle for the 2011 release Circuital. The plans for the follow-up album and the next step in the band's trajectory are happily open-ended and malleable.
"We're kind of playing it by ear right now," says Blankenship. "Especially because Jim has concrete plans in place with his solo album and a tour. It's more just making sure we're all good and rested and ready instead of committing to a time this early on. We're trying to do it healthy. We've learned the hard way that we've come to push ourselves a little bit too much or take on a little too much responsibility. We're lettin' it kind of come to us when the spirits let us know it's time. It's a good opportunity for us all to go off and do our own things, and then when we get back together, hopefully in the spring... It's one of those things, at least for me, where whenever I play with other people it's so fun, so exciting and different, but it also makes me appreciate the dynamic that we have working together, and how effortless it really is. Next year's going to be exciting, for the band and for us individually."
For the recording of Circuital, the band holed up in an old church in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky to escape the sterile studio environment and to try and capture more natural, live performances without too many overdubs and studio trickery.
"I know that we won't return to the same place we were at last time," Blankenship says. "It was like a boy scout lockdown on this last record. We had no clue where to put anything and just kept testing things out. It's fun, because I think you find different soundscapes that you wouldn't normally find. Some of my favorite records are ones where you can close your eyes and you feel like you're in the room where you recorded. It's hard to say what it'll be this time, but it'll probably be a mixture of what we did last time and wherever the machine that is My Morning Jacket is going to take us. It's hard to predict where we'll be once we reconvene next year."

Leave it to the "Fun Ship" folks at Carnival to come up with yet another way to fly down a water slide on a cruise ship.
Dubbed the DrainPipe, the company's latest watery innovation -- new illustrations of which were released today -- will be comprised of a 104-foot-long enclosed water slide that ends in a giant blue funnel that will swirl you around like you are going down a drain.
The DrainPipe will be one of a record four major water slides on the top deck of the 130,000-ton Carnival Dream -- the line's new ship debuting in Septemeber. It'll be in an area called WaterWorks, pictured above, that also will feature a four-deck-high, 303-foot-long enclosed corkscrew water slide –- the longest at sea –- and twin 80-foot-long racing slides. The area also will have squirting fountains, splash zones and dump buckets.

Carnival has been rolling out similar WaterWorks waterpark areas -- sans the Drainpipe -- on its eight Fantasy class ships over the past year during extensive drydocks to overhaul the ships.
As previously announced, the 3,646-passenger Dream also will boast cantilevered whirlpools that extend out over the ship's beam, a larger spa than previous Carnival ships and other innovations for the line.
The Dream debuts on Sept. 21 with three 12-day Mediterranean cruises round-trip from Rome (Civitavecchia) before crossing the Atlantic to New York and the Caribbean.
Cruise Loggers, are you a fan of water slides on ships? Which line do you think has the best water slides?

Court rulings and more.
In the Montana case, the U.S. Supreme Court added fuel to the fires of outrage over the Citizens United ruling with a brief unsigned opinion that re-asserts the dominance of the Citizens United decision over state laws. The ruling also permanently overturns a 100-year state law in Montana – now allowing unlimited corporate spending to influence campaigns and elections.
Read details in the New York Times or Common Dreams.
Dollars continue to flow, shattering previous fundraising records. Read here (OpenSecrets.org) how the Supreme Court transformed the campaign finance landscape through Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission — and how the decision is now affecting U.S. politics.

Correction: Hurricane vs Typhoon storyNovember 11, 2013 @ 11:51 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a story Nov. 8 about hurricanes and typhoons, The Associated Press reported erroneously which direction the storms rotate. They spin counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Hurricane? Cyclone? Typhoon? Here's the difference
How a hurricane differs from a typhoon or cyclone: Mostly where they are and when they hit
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) _ A powerful typhoon hit the Philippines on Friday and moved out to the South China Sea:
HURRICANE? CYCLONE? TYPHOON? They're all the same, officially tropical cyclones. But they just use distinctive terms for a storm in different parts of the world. Hurricane is used in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, central and northeast Pacific. They are typhoons in the northwest Pacific. In the Bay of Bengal and the Arabia Sea, they are called cyclones. Tropical cyclone is used in the southwest India Ocean; in the southwestern Pacific and southeastern India Ocean they are severe tropical cyclones.
STRENGTH: A storm gets a name and is considered a tropical storm at 39 mph (63 kph). It becomes a hurricane, typhoon, tropical cyclone, or cyclone at 74 mph (119 kph). There are five strength categories, depending on wind speed. The highest category is 5 and that's above 155 mph (249 kph). Australia has a different system for categorizing storm strength.
ROTATION: If they are north of the equator they rotate counterclockwise. If they are south, they rotate clockwise.
SEASON: The Atlantic and central Pacific hurricane seasons are June 1 through Nov. 30. Eastern Pacific: May 15 to Nov. 30; northwestern Pacific season is close to all year, with the most from May to November. The cyclone season in the south Pacific and Australia runs from November to April. The Bay of Bengal has two seasons April to June and September to November.
WHERE IS THE BUSIEST PLACE? The northwestern Pacific where Typhoon Haiyan has just hit. A normal year there involves 27 named storms. Haiyan is the 28th named storm and there has already been a 29th. By comparison the Atlantic averages 11 named storms a year and this year there have been 12, none of them causing major problems.
WHO DECIDES THE NAMES? The lists are maintained by the World Meteorological Organization; the names are ones that are familiar in each region. Names are taken off the list and replaced to avoid confusion if a hurricane causes a lot of damage or deaths. For example, Katrina was retired after it devastated New Orleans in 2005. The Philippines has its own naming system, so Typhoon Haiyan is also being called Yolanda.
HOW DOES EL NINO AFFECT STORMS? During an El Nino _ when the central Pacific is warming _ there are fewer Atlantic storms. El Ninos shift where storms form, but not the number, for the northwest Pacific and the southwest Pacific. The central Pacific gets more storms during El Nino and the year after. This year has neither an El Nino nor its opposite, a La Nina. It is a neutral year.

An African American blog of politics, culture, and social activism.
Black boys became criminalized. I was in constant dread for their lives, because they were targets everywhere. They still are. ~Toni Morrison
Perhaps, one day, we will think of Trayvon Martin in the same vein we think of Emmett Till. The publicity surrounding Till's murder so horrified black America that it galvanized a generation to mobilize through direct action on behalf of civil and human rights. Till did not die in vain thanks to the courage of his mother, Mamie Till Mobley. She allowed an open casket at Till's funeral. The distorted mangled face and body would be publicized in Jet, according to Mobley, so that "all the world [could] see what they did to my son!"
Till's death was the match that lit and inflamed black Americans to over turn Jim Crow's personal debasement and fear. Till was not the only one to be heinously murdered. Throughout the South unprovoked black murders were daily occurrences. Nine years earlier, in 1946, in Monroe, Georgia an angry white mob killed George Dorsey, 28, his wife Mae Murray Dorsey, 23, his sister, Dorothy Dorsey Malcom, 20, and Roger Malcom, 24. Neither the local police nor the FBI did much in this assault. Nor is Martin's case the only egregious case of a racist killing in the United States, the murderous hit and run killing of James Anderson in Mississippi was recently resolved. However, maybe, just maybe, Martin's case will be flammable enough to galvanize us to fight against the criminalizing black Americans. Trayvon's life and death were determined by imaging him to be a criminal.
The criminalization of black Americans throughout the 20th century is a staggering, as well as burdensome, historical legacy that began with the convict-leasing system. Trayvon's murder must be placed in a greater material and intellectual context that includes eugenics, I.Q. testing and even Richard Wright's Native Son's characterization of Bigger Thomas. A variety of scholars—Michelle Alexander, Cheryl Hicks, Khalil Muhammad, Randall Kennedy, and Douglas Blackmon have recently put the 20th century criminalization of black Americans in historical and legal perspective. These scholars are must read for all of us who wish to add depth of understanding to their rightful anger and disenchantment with social forces that punish black Americans disproportionately through incarceration and random police shootings.
Although, these engaged scholars have given us critical understanding they are not movement organizers. Analysis is essential to our understanding and informs our movement activities, but analysis alone does not make a movement.
The protest and outrage around the horrible policing in Sanford, Florida has been tremendous and an important intervention into a terrible injustice. Protest has forced the state of Florida to intervene into the case and now George Zimmerman, the alleged murderer of Trayvon, will be brought to trial for 2nd degree murder. This protest has planted the seeds of a movement and we must water it.
Trayvon's death must lead to a national movement and not simply a fair criminal trial in Florida. This movement must begin by challenging the Florida's laws on the books that give credence to stand your ground law. The thousands upon thousands who have photographed themselves in hoodies must do more. Here are a few concrete suggestions to start a movement against black criminalization:
It is important that Trayvon Martin's tragic death, like Emmet Till's before, inspire oura generation to overturn laws as Dr. Clarence Lang suggested on Monday that began with the "war on drugs." Criminal laws alongside of deindustrialization have been ruinous to the lives of young black people. Let us hope and work to make Trayvon's murder an important signpost of our struggle against black criminalization. This young man's untimely death must be our bloody flag galvanizing and mobilizing us to build a new society where any youngster can walk down an American street without being a suspect or a profiled as a sinister fantastical image.
