February 9th, 2009 #11i'm going for errr gorillaz
February 9th, 2009 #12Stuck
I'm kind of stuck on what song title to pick because I also want the lyrics to
work with it. I'm going to have to sketch since I don't have a tblet and my
hands, well, aren't that steady. Basically I stopped by to see what others were
thinking. I wont steal anything, just want to hear some ideas.
February 9th, 2009 #13Well, I've decided to go with The Trooper by Iron Maiden (a nice, classic of theirs ) The way I picked what song I wanted to do was I made a quick playlist of songs I thought would bring about an interesting picture that went with the lyrics, and some that I always have visuals for when I hear it, but if you want the lyrics to work too, make sure you look them up if you don't know them! Also, be sure to pick a song you love to hear, it helps me anyway to listen to it on repeat while I'm drawing (at least in the beginning) so I can keep seeing the visuals that come about when I listen to the song and jot them onto a piece of paper. Plus, for me anyway, each time the song starts over it fills me with inspiration anew, and I can see the picture I want clear in my mind all over again
The Trooper is a nice, iconic piece that already HAS a lot of pictures to go along with it, and the lyrics tell a story, too. Maybe you should try and find a song that kind of tells a story in it's lyrics? I generally find that the ones with stories in them give me awesome visual images when I listen to them. Then, all you have to do is take a mental 'screenshot' of an image in the story, and see if you can make it an interesting piece! Do as many quick thumbnail sketches as you can, just block in main shapes and scribble ideas for what you want to do with the picture on the side, while the image(s) are still fresh in your mind. Every time I do a quick sketch with a particular image in mind, as soon as I look back over my sketch I see the picture as clear as I did the first time.
Of course, this is only what seems to work for me, it might be completely different for you.
Hmm...the hand steady-ness I really don't know how to help with exactly. Only thing I can think of is to just practice keeping your wrist still when you draw, and try not to drink too much caffeine or other things that can make you jittery. But having a tablet won't solve that problem, generally tablets are sensitive and will still pick up your hand shaking, at least in my experience. Just try drawing a bit everyday, and keep focusing on keeping that hand steady, I'm sure you'll find ways to keep it in check, or just get rid of it al together! I used to have shaky hands when I started drawing, but just by drawing all the time, I can keep them as still as a dead man's hands! (But not the all, twitchy kind of dead. I mean the not-moving-anymore-dead. )
Again, this is only what works for me, so you might have something completely different work for you
Now, back to drawing and not winning at the hands of the other awesome teen artists here! (Damn...too many elements of art and design that I need to work on...oh well, I'll learn it all eventually, lol)
Ronald_Liu: The Gorillaz are totally awesome as well. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
EDIT: Damn me It appears the drawing I want to do for The Trooper has gotten too big out of one idea I had, and I don't think I'll be able to finish before the deadline...I still really want to do it, though, so I'll definitely do it! Not for the contest, though Anyway, time to pick another song...

Caught in a downward spiral of debt and economic decline, Spain's banking crisis has been deepening and its unemployment rate has been rising. For all too many, it has been a season of despair.
ATHENS — Greece's jobless rate hit a new record high of 27.6% in May, official national data showed on Thursday as the country staggers under austerity linked to its international bailout. Data showed that those aged 15 to 24 remained the hardest-hit as the jobless rate for this age group registered 64.9%.
The euro-area jobless rate rose to a record in November as the fiscal crisis and tougher austerity measures deepened Europe's economic troubles. Unemployment in the 17-nation region rose to 11.8% from 11.7% in October, the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg said Tuesday. That's the highest since the data series started in 1995 and in line with the median estimate of 27 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Turin (Italy) (AFP) - Juventus star Paul Pogba underlined the challenges still facing the Italian giants in Europe despite his maiden Champions League goal securing a crucial 3-2 win over Olympiakos in Turin on Tuesday.
BRUSSELS — Eurozone factory output continued its steep fall in autumn this year, underscoring the feeble domestic demand that risks prolonging the bloc's recession. Industrial production in the 17 countries sharing the euro fell 1.4% in October after falling sharply in September, the EU's statistics office Eurostat said on Wednesday. That was much worse than the modest growth expected by economists in a Reuters poll.
BRUSSELS — A number of finance firms, including Royal Bank of Scotland and Rabobank face billions of euros in fines next month from European Union regulators for colluding on global benchmark interest rates, reinforcing Brussels' hard line on the sector after the financial crisis. EU antitrust chief Joaquin Almunia is set to unveil a record fine of at least 1.5-billion euros (US$2.03-billion) on six banks, including Barclays and RBS, for rigging the yen Libor interest rate benchmark, a banking source said on Wednesday.
The tapering of stimulus by the U.S. Federal Reserve risks reigniting Europe's debt crisis and pushing weak countries into a "debt-deflation spiral", the International Monetary Fund has warned. "The macro-economic environment continues to deteriorate. Recovery remains elusive," said the IMF in its annual health check on the eurozone. "Growth has weakened further and unemployment is still rising. Mounting social and political tensions pose an increasing threat to reform."
There's been a lot of talk about SHIBOR (China's version of LIBOR) and how it's been spiking lately, indicating that liquidity is very tight in China's banking system. Rates began spiking before the Dragon Boat festival earlier this month. While rates appear to have peaked, they remain at elevated levels.
Southern European countries need to resolve the weaknesses of their banking system and reform their labour markets if they are to spur competitiveness and escape the "downward spiral" of the debt crisis, according to the World Economic Forum.

How can I treat yarn and sweaters to keep moths (and holes!) away without using those stinky moth balls?
Thanks, Aimee
moths dislike lavendar. so use lavendar oil diffuser in your storage space or put lavendar scented soap or a potpourri sachet with dried lavendar. alternatively, you could use cedar. most diy home stores sell smoothed cedar chunks for dresser drawers, closets, etc. sometimes you can find coat hangers with cedar arms and connecting storage bags.
hope this helps.
AimeeR, If you go to the Forums under General Knitting Discussions under Stash and Stash Management there is a post about yarn storage.
I mention there about purchasing a Zip Up Storage Closet that already comes made with mothproof material. All you would have to do is put your yarns, sweaters, etc. inside. I put a hanging shoe storage' organizer onto the the central bar and use clear plastic bags on hangars to put yarn into, so I can see what is inside and I do not have to worry about any moths. It works well, not a moth or an insect of any kind. It is also airtight so no dust gets in. It saves my back from bending over and saves space in my closet.
And all the women who were wise of heart spun with their hands, and they kept bringing as yarn the blue thread and the wool dyed reddish purple, the coccus scarlet material and the fine linen. Ex. 35:25
Gidget and Zass, thank you both! I'll get some cedar AND lavendar just to make sure. I've seen some little fuzzy bugs around my knitting basket and they're making me crazy.

Wollard's letter reveals how angry this made her, and she characterizes the request as "ignoring the appropriate chain-of-command," as "attempting to blindside the President" and as being "unprofessional." Wollard ends the letter by writing that the document would serve as "formal notice" that Perisho's "performance is unsatisfactory and must improve immediately."
The injustice of it makes my teeth hurt. Were I to list all the distinctions, all the accomplishments, all the awards Perisho has received over the years, this page would provide insufficient space.
As for Wollard, her only claim to fame is an embarrassing and failed attempt to promote a pretentious new nickname for Metropolitan State College of Denver. She wanted people to start calling the commuter college "The Met." Hey, doesn't "Metro" already have a perfectly good nickname?
In terms of Wollard's administrative style, the following is a telling anecdote: On September 12, while the rest of us were in a state of shock over the horrors of the day before, Wollard dictated another insulting letter to Perisho -- an inspiring display of dedication to her job, wouldn't you say? Interestingly, this missive wasn't on the letterhead of the Office of Institutional Advancement, like the other one, but on the letterhead of The Campaign for The Metropolitan State College of Denver, a fundraising group. (I guess those grant-givers were right: The CVA was being compromised by being part of the college's marketing department.) Another difference in this second correspondence was that an official copy was not sent to Kaplan.
According to the letter, Perisho's every move would now be monitored by Wollard or one of her underlings. In fact, Perisho couldn't even meet with her advisory council, a group she herself put together, unless Wollard was there.
If the first letter sounds like George Orwell, the second is downright Kafkaesque. Wollard writes that Perisho, in defending herself, has "denied any problems," which suggests to Wollard that Perisho is "not open to being a part of the solution." Then she writes that Perisho's "job requires much more than quality art exhibitions" and that she needs to "reach out and serve the community." Gee, I thought the way an art center reached out and served the community was to put on quality art exhibitions. Not to mention the numerous art-education programs Perisho has developed and sponsored for the region's children.
I think there's more here than meets the eye. I don't believe Klok's personnel complaint or the other trivial things Wollard raises in her letters were any more than excuses to push Perisho out. If Metro's ultimate goal was to get rid of the CVA -- and that's what I think is really going on -- they would need to first remove Perisho. This is a much more believable scenario than one in which Perisho is canned in deference to the feelings of a receptionist.
Maybe Metro sees the CVA as a source of free money. Perisho has it in very good shape. There's a schedule in place through 2003 and a $250,000 endowment that Perisho raised. Perhaps the college's administration hopes to redirect that money to fund the on-campus Emmanuel Gallery, or even use it for a non-art-related activity.
Perisho is emotionally shaken but says she firmly believes the CVA will remain open. "The center is Metro's jewel in the crown. They will never close it down," she tells me. "At least, I hope not. I'd hate to see all my work of the last ten years go down the drain." But I have a doubting mind, and I know shows can be canceled, and cancellation fees are less expensive than operating expenses -- especially since rent for similar buildings in LoDo can cost $7,000 to $10,000 a month.
In doing what it did, however, Metro is playing with fire. Every bit as important as the CVA's place in the art world is the who's who cast from the city's art and cultural establishment that Perisho has put together as advisors in various capacities, including gallery owner Bill Havu, Denver Art Museum associate curator Nancy Tieken, and collectors Fred and Jan Mayer, among many others. Now, I would never presume to speak for anyone in this august group, but I'm pretty sure that since Metro has dismissed Perisho, many of these movers and shakers will move and shake right out of the CVA; at least one, Havu, has already done so.
It's heartbreaking that after a decade of distinguished work, Perisho isn't getting a gold watch, but is instead being kicked to the curb. By its actions, Metro, in the persons of Kaplan and Wollard, has cast a shadow over the CVA that's going to last for a while. A lot of people feel the way I do -- that Metro's treatment of Perisho is abominable -- and it has left a bad taste in their mouths where the CVA is concerned. And that's going to last a long time, too.

Since 1995, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released Canadian gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park as part of its wolf recovery program, reintroduction has been widely challenged in public forums and sensationalized in the media. This conflict has pitted western ranchers and property rights activists against environmental groups, highlighting starkly contrasting political perspect ...show moreives. In this informed account, Martin A. Nie examines not only the future of wolf recovery but also the issues that will define debates around the politics of wildlife management, animal rights issues, and other flash points. The result is a revelatory look at the way the democratic process works when the subject is an environmental hot-button issue.
Examining the wolf recovery program from a policy-making perspective, Nie looks at programs in Alaska, the Lake Superior region, the Northern Rockies, the Southwest, and New England and upstate New York. He analyzes the social, political, and cultural backdrop in the areas in which wolves have been reintroduced and explores such contentious issues as the role of science in public policy; the struggle between wilderness protection, resource management, and private property; and the use of stakeholders in environmental conflicts.
For Nie, the debate over wolf recovery is above all a value-based political conflict that should take place in a more inclusive, participatory, and representative democratic arena. Wolves, Nie writes, are an important indicator species both biologically and politically, and in Beyond Wolves, he tells an important story of wolves and people, place and politics, that resonates far beyond the fate of America's most misunderstood inhabitants. ...show less

Will .Travel Registry Fail?
First RegisterFly died. Will the .Travel registry fail next?
A fiasco ensued when domain registrar RegisterFly died. ICANN is learning its lesson. But now an entire domain registry is on the verge of death. The good news is it's only the .travel registry, which no one really cares about anyway.
Noted .travel critic Edward Hasbrouck, who has complained about the way the .travel domain was awarded and structured, writes about registry Tralliance's parent company, TheGlobe.com, Inc., and its cash crunch.
TheGlobe.com has less than a half million dollars left and will run out of money within a month if it doesn't receive additional investment. The company's stock once traded as high as $97 but now changes hands over-the-counter for about three cents (TGLO.ob).
.Travel probably isn't helping TheGlobe.com's finances. Industry-specific and topic-specific domain names with registration restrictions haven't performed well. Just look at .pro. Despite a loophole that lets anyone register a .pro domain (instead of just accredited professionals), there have only been a handful of notable .pro domain sales and very few companies actually use the domain.
Whether or not ICANN will step in to save .travel before it's too late remains to be seen.

I hope Juan doesn't mind but I put his posting thru FreeTranslation.com for those who do not speak Spanish.
It's actually not all that much of an improvement but here goes:
"Travel condemned to die? Posted by: jpsueiro in Legal, Domains.Travel though was not al so much of the theme, surprises me to read a pair of articles Here and Here where the financial problem is exposed that is crossing Theglobe.com through its division Tralliance, responsible for the management of the domains."
Footnote: FreeTranslation changed "Dominios" to Control but I know it should be "Domains"
so I made the adjustment.Patrick
Tried hard to register some good .travel domains in my space but I got bad feelings time and time again. Just bad business on several levels.
They had their marketing push a few months ago. If they still need money then it just is not going to get off the ground, especially if the whole system is flawed.
Interesting. How will ICANN handle it?
I know of .travel and will say with confidence that it's a big undertaking to get all of the travel industry to embrace the .travel TLD but if they can get expenses down and find advertising they have a good shot.God knows the travel industry needs organization.
I own 2 .Travel websites. Since it's inception, this company (Trailliance or wooever is bailing them out) has been unprofessional. Their "Directory" looks like it was put together by a 4th grader with half a brain. If they are using any sort of algorithms to order search words/phrases, then why when you type in "caribbean cruise" do you end up with 15-20 Royal Caribbean entries that are all identical!
Anyway, I can handle incompetence but what disturbs me the most is the outright lies from Heidi asst. to the CEO. At this point after receiving certain assurances from Heidi regarding the upcoming quality improvment of the directory (April 2009), noone at any of the companies phones answers them. I have sent 3 e-mails in the past week to Victoria Ancell with absolutely no response. I guess if I were representing such a pathetic company, I'd also be too embarassed to show my face.

French Military, Weather Radars Are Wind Farm 'Hurdles'
Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The French military and national weather service are putting up "major hurdles" to wind parks needed to boost renewable energy output, a lobby group said.
Concerns in the military that turbines interfere with radar and at state forecaster Meteo France that they hinder wind and flood forecasts have blocked an estimated 3,000 megawatts of projects across the country, according to Syndicat des Energies Renouvelables, representing renewable energy companies.
"It's a big problem that we have to solve," the industry group's President Jean-Louis Bal told reporters in Paris. The lobby is seeking a parliamentary commission to study the issue.
France plans to get 23 percent of energy consumption from renewables by 2020 compared with 13 percent at the end of 2011. President Francois Hollande said last week that electricity from wind and sun offer "huge potential" for clean energy and job creation and he pledged to ease development regulations.
Meteo France is restricting the construction of turbines more than the military, said Marion Lettry, head of the lobby's wind division. Concerns they block weather radar used to predict floods may be overblown, she said.
"We realize there is a problem," Christophe Maocec, director of strategy at Meteo France, said by telephone. Radar operators like the weather service have to be consulted about plans for turbines within about 20 kilometers (12 miles) of their installations.
In Conflict
"We have a public safety mission that is at times in conflict with wind farm development," he said. "It's a fact that turbines can interfere with radar measurements and this creates issues in many countries."
Wind park operators are counting on research into so-called stealth blades that may allow deployment near defense sites, civilian airports and weather stations, Lettry said.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S, the largest wind turbine maker, said in June 2011 it had successfully tested a full-scale stealth rotor on a turbine to lower radar interference. An estimated 20,000 megawatts of wind power capacity is being blocked by concerns about interference, it said at the time.
Deployment of wind turbines and solar panels has slowed to a rate that means France won't meet its 2020 installations target, Bal said. "We will reach 17 percent or 18 percent of energy demand if we continue on this route," he said.
The Defense Ministry wasn't immediately able to comment.

UK Police Stop & Search Striking Citizens to Prevent Possible 'Hooliganism'
7:03 am in Uncategorized by Kevin Gosztola
Public workers, up to seven hundred and fifty thousand teachers and civil servants, are alleged to have participated in a June 30 general strike called for in the United Kingdom after UK Parliament passed changes to pensions and retirement, specifically, increasing the amount an employee has to contribute.
At 1:31 pm London Time, Hélène Mulholland reported from the end of "the Strand, by Trafalgar Square," that a march had been "good-natured" so far. " She said it is clear that the turn out has been good, that quite a few in the UK believe the government did not properly negotiate the new pension and retirement changes. And she also reported, "There doesn't seem to have been much trouble," except for the stopping and searching of minority students.
Around 12 pm London Time, she "walked past five police officers stopping and searching two non-white 17-year-old sixth formers, Aamir Kadir and Jean-Claude Goddard, in Lincoln's Inn Fields to the dismay of onlookers." Mulholland said they were searched because they were wearing keffiyeh scarves, a traditional headdress for Arab men. While there were white women with scarves standing around the two young men who were stopped, the police said they stopped the two because the scarves might be used to commit violence. They said they were stopped out of "empirical judgment" because "people use keffiyehs to mask their identity."
Throughout the strikes today, the UK police have claimed stop and search powers under section 60 of the Criminal Public Order Act. Here is how this provision allowing police the legal right to stop citizens and search them in public is described on the Metropolitan Police website:
Section 60 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, gives police the right to search people in a defined area at a specific time when they believe, with good reason, that: there is the possibility of serious violence; or that a person is carrying a dangerous object or offensive weapon; or that an incident involving serious violence has taken place and a dangerous instrument or offensive weapon used in the incident is being carried in the locality. This law has to be authorized by a senior officer and is used mainly to tackle football hooliganism and gang fights.
In this case, the police are using Section 60 to thwart the "hooliganism" of public and civil servants who feel they just got a bad deal from their government, who are upset they might have more trouble making ends meet for their family.

Previous research has demonstrated that changes in vocal frequency (pitch) influence judgments made about a speaker, although there is some question as to the relative importance of frequency to message content in person perception. Moreover, these studies have failed to examine the possible joint effect of frequency and individual differences in nonverbal sensitivity on person perception. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the independent and joint effects of vocal frequency, perceptual salience, and nonverbal sensitivity (assessed by the Profile of Nonverbal Sensitivity) on person perception. Participants were assigned to one of nine experimental conditions and were asked to rate two male and two female speakers on seven unipolar adjective scales. The nine conditions were produced by factorially combining three levels each of salience (content, voice, control) and vocal frequency (decreased, increased, unmanipulated). The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that variations in frequency did influence evaluative judgments of the speakers (competent, honest, persuasive), but that the magnitude of the influence varied as a function of the participants' levels of nonverbal sensitivity. The analyses, however, yielded no significant effects for participants' affective judgments, nor any significant effects involving perceptual salience.

Forensic psychologists often refuse to release evaluation records, especially to the evaluee. One justification for this practice is based on the ethical positions that the referral source "is the client" and "controls release of records" (also found in the Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychology). To determine whether these ethical positions are shared by the field of forensic mental health, official documents from forensic mental health organizations were used as a proxy for these views. Thirty-four supporting arguments for either position were identified from the literature; it was postulated that official documents would support both positions and utilize supporting arguments. Fifty-four official documents were discovered, and qualitative analysis was used to construct a 17-category model of official views. Neither position was supported by a majority of documents, and few of the supporting arguments were utilized by supportive documents. The positions are unsupported because official documents espouse a wide diversity of views, there are a number of logical flaws in supporting arguments, and even official APA documents hold conflicting views. Ethical arguments are advanced for contrary positions, and the referral-source-control of records release is contrary to law. A more ethical view is that the psychologist may have multiple, possibly conflicting responsibilities to multiple entities; the psychologist's roles and responsibilities should be clarified with each entity using an informed consent process. Psychologists should release records at the behest of the evaluee, lest they be subject to licensing discipline, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) complaints, and/or civil sanctions. Recommendations are offered for psychologists, future ethics codes and professional practice guidelines, and test security practices.

This study reviewed and summarized the literature on the use of written tests in the selection of firefighters using a sample of 13,418 individuals drawn from 101 samples. For the prediction of job performance, cognitive tests showed substantial validity (.42), although mechanical comprehension tests showed even higher validity (.54). However, the best prediction was obtained by tests which were composites of cognitive and mechanical predictors (.56). Training criteria was best predicted by cognitive measures (.77), although mechanical comprehension predictors also showed substantial prediction value (.62). Tests which were composites of cognitive and mechanical measures showed validities equal to that of cognitive measures (.77).

Mit diesem Buch möchte ich auf den großen Schatz des Kinderpsychodramas neugierig machen, das spielerische Leichtigkeit in die Kindertherapie bringt und es Kindern und ihren Familien ermöglicht, ihre kreativen und spielerischen Seiten wieder zu entdecken und für die Lösung ihres Problems zu nützen. Den Mut zu spontan-kreativem Handeln und zur Begegnung in der Kinder- und Familientherapie aufzubringen, ist jedoch nicht einfach. Wir fürchten, so Moreno, kreative Spontaneität, da wir uns "nicht auf die Beweglichkeit und Unsicherheit des Augenblicks verlassen" wollen (Moreno 1974, S. 18). Spontan und kreativ handeln kann man nämlich nur, wenn man ein "Anhänger des wahrhaft Imperfekten" (Moreno 1974, S. 441), fehlerfreundlich ist und sich auf das Risiko von Misslingen oder Zurückweisung einlässt. Jede Arbeit mit einem Kind und seiner Familie ist ein neues Wagnis und etwas ganz Besonderes, das nicht durch das korrekte Ausführen von methodischen Vorschriften zu erreichen ist.

Recent theory views adolescent behavior as nested in an ongoing system of family relationships. In keeping with this focus, differences in family functioning of high vs. low identity achievement youth were examined and variables to account for differing identity levels were explored. However, the hypothesized relationship (Circumplex Model) between family type and communication was also examined. Subjects were 411 male students, 18–24 years of age, belonging to intact nuclear middle-class homes, who resided with parents in urban areas. Measures used were the Identity Achievement Scale, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale, and the Parent-Adolescent Communication Scale. Results supported an association between balanced family type and effective communication (p≤.001). Significant differences in the family types were found (p≤.001), with high identity subjects belonging to balanced families, experiencing more openness (p≤.01) and less problems (p≤.01) in communicating with parents. Openness with father, mother, and problems with father emerged as significant discriminants. There are important implications for counselling and therapy with youth, placing family at the center of the psychosocial milieu influencing their development.

My objective in Part IV is twofold: first, to make the case that we cannot and should not rely either on intuition or on simplistic models to manage a system as complex and important as our bodies; and second, to demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of a new generation of dynamic computer-based tools for personal weight and energy regulation.

On follow-up 1 to 5 years after therapy, patients in six diagnostic groups who received EMG (N=53)and/or thermal (N=54)biofeedback and who reached criterion levels (EMG ≤1.1 μV; thermal ≥95° F) reported a higher improvement rate than those who had not achieved these criterion levels. Neither the patients nor the therapist were aware of these training criteria during therapy. Most patients received both EMG and thermal biofeedback training. Of the EMG achievers, 93% improved, compared to 65% of the nonachievers. Of the thermal achievers, 96% improved, compared to 76% of the nonachievers. These percentages significantly exceed the high base rate (81%) of long-term improvement in this study. Failure to achieve the criterion level in both modalities was associated with a lower improvement rate (73% did notimprove), while achieving the criterion in only one modality was sufficient to be associated with improvement. Of the patients who did notimprove, 80% had notachieved the EMG criterion, and 88% had not achieved the thermal training criterion. These results question biofeedback therapy outcome studies which show low improvement rates without determining whether self-regulation skills had, in fact, been acquired.

In addition to a new name, there's also a new, larger location for the Crossing Rivers Health Clinic, formerly Prairie du Chien Memorial Health Clinic. The recently-built facility at 37822 U.S. Hwy. 18 in Prairie du Chien, on the same site as the new hospital, opened to patients on July 1.
The clinic was Great River Community Medical Clinic before it became PdC Memorial Health Clinic in January. The location at 100 N. Marquette Rd. closed at noon on Friday, June 27. The clinic remained closed to the public on Monday, June 30 and reopened in its current Hwy. 18 space at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1. The long-awaited transition itself was seamless, as clinic staff and their hospital colleagues organized, packaged and delivered most of the supplies and equipment.
Rick Bartels' vase was the piece to help him garner attention in the world of woodworking, gaining him publication in the magazine Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts. While the vase may have gotten him noticed, Bartels maintains that the wooden-geared clock (pictured at his left) is his favorite project to date, as far as outcome. (Photos by Caitlin Bittner)
Keegan Hauser, Bartels' grandson, skillfully moves the wood, using the scroll saw to cut out a bunny puzzle. While it may look like a daunting task, the entire process of preparing, cutting and sanding only took Keegan about 30 minutes to complete.
After a half hour, Keegan's bunny is ready for its close up. "I like to give the bunnies to younger kids because the shapes make it easier to put together," explained Bartels.
As you might imagine, there are always new projects in the world of woodworking. Some of the endeavors Bartels has conquered include various fret work designs, piggy banks, puzzles, vases, bowls, ornaments, clocks and intarsia.

Herman Melville was born in New York City in 1819. When his father died, he was forced to leave school and find work. After passing through some minor clerical jobs, the eighteen-year-old young man shipped out to sea, first on a short cargo trip, then, at twenty-one, on a three-year South Sea whaling venture. From the experiences accumulated on this voyage would come the material for his early books, Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847), as well as for such masterpieces as Moby-Dick (1851), Pierre (1852), The Piazza Tales (1856) and Billy Budd, Sailor, and Other Stories (posthumous, 1924).

General Services Administration officials told the inspector general they've fixed some policy problems with the Office of Integrated Technology Service' contract review board process, according to a new report.
The GSA IG's auditors found officials lacked a strategy to determine how many blanket purchase agreements were best to award on its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) BPA. In October and November 2010, GSA awarded 12 BPAs that offer cloud storage services, virtual machines, or cloud web hosting.
In the IG report released June 4, auditors determined that the contracting officer did not base the number of awards on a strategy to make the IaaS BPA most effective for GSA customers. Instead, the officer planned to give BPAs to any company able to meet the solicitation's requirements. However, the Federal Acquisition Regulation outlines several factors to determine the best number of BPAs. Officials need to consider scope and complexity of the requirements, the need to compare multiple technical approaches or prices from time to time, the administrative costs, and the technical qualifications of contractors.
"While we recognize that GSA views bringing cloud solutions to the federal marketplace as a priority, this should not come at the expense of sound contracting practices," the auditors wrote.
The contract review board is responsible for looking over source selection decisions, but policies did not specify what documentation the board should examine in reviewing these decisions, according to the report.
In response to the initial report, Steve Kempf, FAS commissioner, wrote that FAS officials have revised the review policies, making the review boards pay specific attention to strategy and quality in acquisition proposals. It sets into policy the use of integrated project teams for upfront collaboration and independent reviews by experienced procurement analysts later on.
FAS officials finalized the changes in May. The final rules also require officials to verify that acquisition plans address the special considerations, such as BPA strategies, and that officials make awards supported by the results of set evaluations factors.
Since the revisions began in 2011, Kempf said ITS' Office of Acquisition Operations conducted more than 45 contract reviews. He noted too that the contract review board rejected contracting officers' submissions "in more than a few occasions."
The rule change addressed auditors' concerns about collaboration among the various parties involved in a complex procurement, like the IaaS BPA. Integrated project teams now include the program manager, contracting officer, a procurement analyst, and division supervisor to bring in as much experience to the upfront review. The team has to perform an oral presentation to the review board.
"This mandatory team discussion, at the very early stage of acquisition planning, serves as a kick-off session," Kempf wrote.

Wow, Jon!--who did your baby yellow get that scrumptious coloration from? Your roses all look sooo lovely and your babies look GREAT! It was a real delight to see these--along with your fragrant bouquet. Thank you so much for sharing them with us! In keeping with your last photo--Peace. :) Debbie |
Beautiful! I love ANNE HARKNESS. That Moore Hulthemia is interesting. And I really like your MARDI GRAS seedling. I'd love to see that again next season to see how it progresses. |

Wow!! I love the over the top voluptuousness of Pink Peace. Gahhhhh!!!! Droool!!!! I love the coloring on your Mardi Gras seedling!! Well done! Carol |
They look great jon! |
Thanks y'all. Umm, my baby yellow is a complete mystery as far as parentage. I berate myself for it because it appears to be the most vigorous, disease resistant yellow I have ever grown. Also, I'm attempting to root a few small clippings of Moore's hulthemia. If you get back with me, I may end up with an extra. It's extremely stingy in bloom- definitely not a production piece. I keep looking at that color though (it doesn't fade either) and wanting to see where I can take it.... |
Love the 2 Harkness namesakes. |
Very pretty roses. I suppose I'd need a green-house to attempt to hybridize. Thanks for the pictures, Kitty |
Hi Jon, Thank you for the encouragement and the additional photos. Your seedlings are so lovely. It must be really exciting to have all those roses that YOU created. Sadly, my rose season is over for the year. Now I'm just thinking about what to order for next season. I will need to do a lot more reading before I attempt to hybridize but, I have a long winter to find time to fit that in. I hope you don't mind but, I'll probably be back with questions. Thank you so much, Kitty |
Love the ruffeled pink one! |
Wow! I love your posts. I really like Rosa multiflora 'carnea'. It looks like a carnation. Keep us posted on your seedlings, please! Sandra |
- Posted by paul_zone5ct 5 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 9, 10 at 23:11
Very interesting stuff. I'm very impressed with your Carefree Beauty X PJPII cross. I've never attempted hybridizing, but after seeing yours, I may give it a shot. I have Carefree Beauty, I assume you use it as a seed parent? |
i have been bitten by the hulthemia bug for some time and have also decided to have a go at a spot of hybridising - I got Nigel Hawthorne, Euphrates and Allissar, princess of Phoenicia from Harkness and a terrific lilac hulthemia (Eyes for You) from Peter James - very excited! The Moore Hulthemia looks a lot like Tigris. |
Paul, Carefree Beauty will take pollen from just about anything- easy to germinate too. I'm not SO terribly interested in blotches but I think they have something to offer for a strong non-fading yellow. |

Wow, the last photo of the yellow rose is that your yellow seedling? This is such a beautiful bloom. If you have created this one you must be very happy. I think it is really awesome that you are hybridizing your own roses. I haven't even learned how to take cuttings (yet);-)! Good luck with your hybridizing attempts! Please keep us posted! This is really exciting... Christina |

Photos of Gap Spring 2011 Women's Collection
Gap's Spring 2011 Collection — No Heritage Here, Says Patrick Robinson, Only Modernity
>> Patrick Robinson popped up in a well-lit central London basement on Wednesday evening to show off his Spring 2011 direction for Gap. But it wasn't just about showing off the the pale-palette duds; Robinson had plenty to say about the collection, too: "It's really what modern means in America today, for a 25- to 35-year-old. That's what we export. Not anything 'heritage' or referenced in the past. Today." He continued: "Heritage doesn't turn me on — it's about America today. Let's face it, a 28-year-old wants more fashion in his or her wardrobe."
Robinson is all about pants for 2011, more so than skirts or dresses: "We have some dresses and skirts, but somewhere around August or September, I started noticing girls were wearing more pants. So we're right there with it, building on the foundation of what we already started with the eight pants fits we worked on earlier this year. Even the denim we have for spring is more of a trouser than a five-pocket jean."
And speaking of denim, Robinson said he's ramping that up, too: "I've built a new team, based in LA, so they can be closer to all the wash-houses and generally hang out in the denim world." His main goal is to make sure that Gap is more tightly edited, "no longer a table with one sweater in 30 colors." He continued: "My biggest hurdle has been to change the mind-set of the Gap customer in the US who grew up with the brand and automatically thinks of basics. What I want to offer are interesting essentials — fashion, excitement, newness. But the challenge is: how quickly do you walk the traditional customer toward this, how do you push their minds in that direction?"

DotA 2 Official Thread- Gamescom Tournament 8/17/2011
http://gameinformer.co m/b/feature...tails .aspx
From GAF - since Game Informer is getting his hard.
I'm curious how this is going to compare to LoL, HoN, and DOTA: All Stars.
From GAF - since Game Informer is getting his hard.
DotA-Allstars' roster of 100+ heroes is being brought over in its entirety. The single map games take place on is functionally identical to the one that you can download for free today in the Warcraft III mod. Items, skills, and upgrade paths are unchanged. Some hero skills work slightly better due to being freed from the now-ancient Warcraft III engine, but Dota 2 will be instantly familiar to any DotA player.A few things will make significant differences to players making the transition. Dota 2 uses Valve's Source engine, so the game is much prettier. Source itself is getting a few upgrades, including improved global lighting and true cloth simulation. Dota 2's integrated voice chat is a huge step up from having to set up your own Ventrilo server, and the speed of voice communication is very nearly a requirement for a game as team-focused as DotA. AI bots will take over for disconnected players, and will be available to play against in unranked training matches as well. However, don't get your hopes up for a full-fledged single-player game, though. Johnson says, "Our goal with the AI is just that their experience isn't destroyed just because one person couldn't finish the game." |
The bulk of innovation in Dota 2, however, is ancillary to the gameplay itself. Valve is upgrading Steamworks (the company's backend technologies for matchmaking and other gameplay and community-related things) to allow them to create in-game rewards for participating in the Dota 2 community. The idea is to have everything a player does in or out of game tie back into their online identity. Like the improvements to Source, the Steamworks upgrades will be available to third-party developers who choose to use Valve's tools when Dota 2 launches in 2011.
Valve believes that the solution to the huge barrier to entry is threefold. The first, obvious solution is to have excellent skill-based matchmaking for both individuals and teams. Valve believes that the work going into Steamworks for Dota 2's release meets that requirement. Second, interactive guides will allow players to do more than just read a guide for their favorite hero that has been deemed helpful by the community at large. Valve plans to allow guide-makers to tie their work back into the game by doing things like highlighting suggested item purchases or displaying useful information during a match.Finally, a coaching system is being deeply integrated into the game. By logging in as a coach, veteran players can do their part to help out newer folks. Valve hasn't entirely decided on the specifics of how newbies and coaches will be matched up, but once they're together a few things happen. The coach sees the pupil's screen, and gets private voice and chat channels to communicate with them. The coach probably won't be able to take control of anything directly (once again, the details are currently under discussion), but information is power in Dota 2 and having a mentor whispering in your ear can make all the difference in the world. |

North Korea Threatens Nuclear Test, Calls U.S. Its 'Archenemy'
Sometimes—like when they call themselves "space conquerors" after launching a satellite that broke almost immediately and tumbled out of orbit—it can be hard to take North Korea seriously. Other times—like when they threaten another test of their nuclear program at a highly delicate time for their neighbors, politically—it seems wiser to keep a close eye on them.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[EastAsia] CHINA/ECON - PBOC: Credit card debt up in China in Q1

China's credit card debt that was at least six months overdue rose 133.1
percent year-on-year in the first quarter to 4.97 billion yuan ($727.67
million), the People's Bank of China, or the central bank, said in a
report Monday.
Debt overdue by six months or more accounted for 3 percent of the total
outstanding credit card debt at the end of March, or 0.6 percentage point
more than in the same period last year, the report said.
It warned of potential risks of the increasing overdue credit card debt as
financial institutions expanded their credit card business.
As of March 31, Chinese banks had issued more than 150 million credit
cards, or 0.11 card per person, up 42.9 percent year-on-year. But Chinese
consumers still have relatively few credit cards, compared with 4.39 per
person in the United States and 0.95 in Brazil.
