Nationality | Russian-American |
Known for | Performance Art |
Notable work(s) | Pangean Dreams |
Awards | J. Paul Getty Fellowship, Vesta Award, Obie Award |

Rachel Rosenthal (born November 9, 1926 in Paris, France) is an interdisciplinary artist, a teacher, and animal rights activist based in Los Angeles, California. She is best known for her full-length performance art pieces which she has toured, with The Rachel Rosenthal Company, to numerous venues both within the United States and abroad. She is also known for her smoothly shaven head. Theatres and festivals she has visited include: the Dance Theatre Workshop and Serious Fun! at Lincoln Center in New York City, the Kaaitheater (fr) in Brussels, The Internationals Summer Theater Festival in Hamburg, The Performance Space in Sydney and the Festival de Théâtre des Amériques, Théâtre Centaur, Montréal.
Early life[edit]
Rosenthal was born on November 9, 1926 in Paris, France, into an assimilated Russian Jewish family.[1] Her father, Léonard Rosenthal, was a well-known merchant of Oriental pearls and precious stones.[2][3] Her mother was Mara Jacoubovitch Rosenthal.[1] During World War II, her family escaped France, moving to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, via a short stay in Portugal. This journey inspired the creation of her piece, My Brazil.[1] In April 1941, her family left Brazil to settle in New York, where Rosenthal would later graduate from the High School of Music and Art and become a U.S. citizen. After settling back in New York in 1953, she fell in with John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Sari Dienes, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.[4] She undertook theater, art, and dance studies with Hans Hoffmann, Cunningham, Erwin Piscator and Jean-Louis Barrault.[1]
In 1955, she moved to California, and became involved with the art scene surrounding the Ferus Gallery.[5] That year she created the experimental "Instant Theatre," within the Cast Theatre (now named El Centro Theatre), performing in and directing it for ten years. She was a leading figure in the L.A. Women's Art Movement in the 1970s and co-founded the Womanspace Gallery, a cooperatively run gallery devoted to work by female artists, in 1973.[6] She is considered on of the "first-generation feminist artists," a group that also includes Mary Beth Edelson, Carolee Schneeman, and Judy Chicago. They were part of the Feminist art movement in Europe and the United States in the early 1970s to develop feminist writing and art.[7] Rosenthal began teaching classes in performance in 1979.[1]
Recent years[edit]
Rosenthal formed The Rachel Rosenthal Company in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. The company's repertoire deals with themes such as environmental destruction, social justice issues, animal rights, earth-based spirituality, in a hybrid form that combines voice, text, movement, music, video projection, and elaborate theatrical costuming, set design, and dramatic lighting, ultimately challenging the rigid boundaries that have traditionally separated performance art from theater.
In 1990, Rosenthal premiered Pangaean Dreams at The Santa Monica Museum Of Art for The L.A. Festival. In 1992, filename: FUTURFAX was commissioned by the Whitney Museum in New York. In 1994 she premiered her 56-performer piece Zone at the UCLA Center for the Performing Arts Wadsworth Theatre. Between 1994 and 1997, with her newly formed Company, she revived the "Instant Theatre" of the 1950s and 1960s as TOHUBOHU! and went on to collaboratively create DBDBDB-d: An Evening (1994), TOHUBOHU! (1995–97), Meditation on the Life and Death of Ken Saro-Wiwa, Timepiece (1996), The Swans and The Unexpurgated Virgin (1997). Both Timepiece and The Unexpurgated Virgin premiered at the Fall Ahead Festival at Cal State Los Angeles. In 2000, at the FADO Performance Art Centre, Paul Couillard, in collaboration with the 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival, presented Rosenthal's final full-length performance piece, UR-BOOR, for two nights only.[8] At the age of 73, Rosenthal announced that she was retiring from performance to dedicate herself to her animal rights activism and pursue a career as a painter.
Rosenthal has lectured at Carnegie-Mellon University's Robert Lepper Distinguished Lecture in Creative Inquiry series, as a lecturer/presenter at the first Performance, Culture and Pedagogy Conference at Penn. State (1996). Rosenthal has also been a visiting artist at The Art Institute of Chicago, New York University, University of California Los Angeles, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, California Institute of the Arts, and at the Naropa, Esalen and Omega Institutes.
Artist Robert Rauschenberg has honored her in a suite of prints entitled Tribute 21. Recipients include Mikhail Gorbachev, R. Buckminster Fuller, Toni Morrison, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.
Rosenthal had a small part in an episode of the television series Frasier, specifically The Crucible in Season 1. As eccentric Seattle-based artist Martha Paxton, she attends a cocktail party in Frasier's residence as guest of honor, being the supposed artist of a painting Frasier is very proud of, only for her to tell him in front of all present the painting wasn't her work.

Ag/Field day is April 26th - link below.
They sell plants as well as many other activities, great for kids. I'm trying to remember from last year what they had in the way of plants, can't remember. Not as extensive as what you'll find at the official plant sale. ellen |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rutgers Ag/Field Day
Follow-Up Postings:
PS- It is the same day as the NJ Folk Festival- I have never gone, as I don't like crowds, but people who go, and who like that kind of music, say that it is a great event. And if you're new to the area, or just have never gone, I do recommend the tour of the Rutgers gardens and Helyar woods, the latter is, I believe, an example of original forest and famous for that. ellen |

Glad you posted this one. I went last year and it was enjoyable. Again, bring a wagon and be prepared for a loooonnnngg walk. The plant selection was quite different from the May event. Lots of annuals and baskets, nice selection of herb and vegetable seedlings - some of them unusual varieties. I was hoping to get a Ramapo tomato seedling, but heard they sold out right away. A lot of these seedlings are grown by local Master Gardeners. They also sold some plants propagated from their greenhouses ... I bought two little fig trees. There was a nice display on rain gardens, right in front of the one under construction. I hope they'll do that again this year. There were vendors with all kinds of things - honey & wax products, baked and preserved goods, potpourri and herbal soaps, and, of course, plenty of food. There was quite a crowd, but since it was spread out over such a large area, with plenty of open spaces, it really didn't feel so crowded. It's a fun day. |

The Great Tomato Tasting is scheduled for August 27th at the Experimental Farm in Pittstown. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Rutgers for getting Ramapo back out on the market. I've had 2 so far and they have been delicious! |

"We have known for a long time that water ice exists in comets, but this is the first evidence of water ice on comets," said Jessica Sunshine, Deep Impact co-investigator and lead author of the Science article.
A chief scientist with Science Applications International Corporation who holds three Brown University degrees, Sunshine said the discovery offers important insight into the composition of comets � small, Sun-orbiting space travelers that are believed to be leftovers from the formation of the solar system.
"Understanding a comet's water cycle and supply is critical to understanding these bodies as a system and as a possible source that delivered water to Earth," she said. "Add the large organic component in comets and you have two of the key ingredients for life."
The findings help satisfy one of the major goals of the Deep Impact mission: Find out what is on the inside � and outside � of a comet.
To that end, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory teamed with the University of Maryland to slam a space probe into Tempel 1, then analyze materials from the comet's surface and interior. On July 4, 2005, mission members hit their mark when the copper-tipped probe collided with Tempel 1 and created a spectacular extraterrestrial explosion 83 million miles from Earth.
Since then, the Deep Impact team has reported a few key findings. These include an abundance of organic matter in Tempel 1's interior as well as its likely origins � the region of the solar system now occupied by Uranus and Neptune.
According to the new research in Science, the comet's surface features three pockets of thin ice. The area the ice covers is small. The surface area of Tempel 1 is roughly 45 square miles or 1.2 billion square feet. The ice, however, covers roughly 300,000 square feet. And only 6 percent of that area consists of pure water ice. The rest is dust.
"It's like a seven-acre skating rink of snowy dirt," said Peter Schultz, professor of geological sciences at Brown, Deep Impact co-investigator and co-author on the Science paper.
Sunshine, Schultz and the rest of the team arrived at their findings by analyzing data captured by an infrared spectrometer, an optical instrument that uses light to determine the composition of matter.
Based on this spectral data, it appears that the surface ice used to be inside Tempel 1 but became exposed over time. The team reports that jets � occasional blasts of dust and vapor � may send this surface ice, as well as interior ice, to the coma, or tail, of Tempel 1.
"So we know we're looking at a geologically active body whose surface is changing over time," Schultz said. "Now we can begin to understand how and why these jets erupt."
NASA funded the work. For more information on Deep Impact, visit the JPL Web site.

An answer to the above question is offered by a Frank Sinatra tribute performer, or Frank Sinatra Impersonator in Los Angeles.
Frank Sinatra is available on the radio primarily via either Sirius XM satellite or Pandora internet radio, and sampling both reveals some differences. On Sirius, you must have a paid subscription, although many new cars come with free trial periods that vary in length. On Sirius, you'll find an existing channel, known as Siriusly Sinatra. Pandora, on the other hand, is a free service via the internet and through an app for your smart phone, but as a result, there are occasional commercials within the program, both in the form of audio and graphics on your screen. But theyre pretty infrequent and tolerable. On Pandora, you create your Sinatra channel by selecting Frank Sinatra as your artist of choice, and a channel is initiated for you.

"My kids devoured these too within minutes. The only mistake I made was not doubling the recipe when I made it. Absolutely delicious!!"
"Absolutely yummy! I doubled the recipe and it all disappeared within less than an hour. Thanks for the great recipe!"
"Wow was this good - loved it. I took Chia's advice and reduced the amount of coffee; for some reason it seemed to sink to the bottom of the cheese mixture and formed an extra layer b/w the crust and the cheese. So we didn't get the swirl effect but it was delicious nevertheless. Loved the idea of using the white chocolate for the topping."
"These were SO VERY good. Impossible to stop after one. We had a guest for supper and I think he ate about 8 of them, he only stopped 'cos he managed to empty the plate."
"So simple and so good!"
"Very moist and oh so tasty. I didn't have pineapple juice, so I used OJ instead - the end result was great."
"These were so incredibly delicious - words fail me. I have a number of great brownie recipes, but this surpasses all of them. I'll definitely be making these on a regular basis."
"I was attracted to this recipe by the unusual combination of ingredients and we weren't disappointed. It was great being able to preprepare the dough, I made it in the morning before work, and baked the cookies that evening. Great recipe."

My Pampas Grass bloomed for the first time (after about 2 years of waiting) last summer. It was so beautiful! I did not get a chance to cut it back in the fall or the spring and worried about it this year due to the drought and not getting it cut back. However, it has just bloomed again and is even more beautiful and full this year. Is it better to cut it back and how much or can it be left alone to do its own thing? |

I cut mine back in late winter, every year. It's stumpy and looks kinda bad for a while, but eventually fills out with lots of new growth. I only had 4 plumes on my plant the first time it bloomed, but this year was amazing. I just don't like the way this particular grass looks when it matures, if it isn't kept trimmed....all of the old dead brown bits give it a ratty appearance. So my personal preference is to chop it down every year. Pampas grass is almost indestructable in our zone. I couldn't advise you as to how much to trim yours back in zone 6. I cut mine back to approx. 8-10 inches from the ground in late February, early March. It's full again by June. I suppose whether or not you cut it back, depends on how much room you are willing to give it to spread out. And it WILL spread out. If it isn't cut back, it eventually becomes a monster of a thing, which will require a chain saw or machete for "trimming" at that point. I'm not kidding. Just ask anyone who has experienced hacking through the jungles of mature clumps of Pampas grass...they'll have horror stories for ya, and likely the scars to prove it, as well. Those razor-sharp leaf-blades can do serious damage to any exposed skin. And once a clump gets that large, it's nearly impossible to get rid of, should you decide you don't like it. My brother had to burn his Pampas grass to get rid of it.....fire got out of hand and the fire department had to be called to come put it out!!! It's funny now, but wasn't at the time. His overgrown Pampas grass almost burned down the neighborhood. Renee |

Thanks Renee. My Pampas grass has grown VERY!! tall. It doesn't seem to have migrated much yet but sounds like I will have to be more persistent in controlling it. What a funny story about your brothers experience. I will definitely not try to burn it. I admit I have been wondering what to use to cut it back. It is so tough and sharp!! I have already found out my hedge clippers will not do the job and I have no experience with chain saws (scary things). Thank you again for the info. |
- Posted by rivers1202 Z8a South Carolina (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 07 at 2:08
No, hedge clippers won't be of much use. I don't care for chain saws, either.....as you said, they're a bit scary. I use loppers....the kind you would use to prune small tree branches. But first I trim away most of the sharp blades of grass with large grass shears, so I can get in with the loppers to cut back the old canes (bloom stalks). I wear gloves and clothing that covers my arms and legs. Good Luck -- stay safe! |

I am lost
floating in this thick haze
standing in insecurity
my mind is unsure of what I am feeling
and my heart is unsure of what I know
I am lost in the promise of the future
why is everything so unclear?
I reach out in search of everything
my heart is crying out for its safe place
a place where there is no painful, lost, or lonely longing
my mind cries out for its fulfillment
where there is no worry or uncertain happenings
I fear what is unpredictable
what I don't understand
I know something is missing
I feel something is not quite where it should be
why can't I just go to my safe place?
why must I stay trapped in my fear?
in my insecurity, and my longing?
what is it that I am seeking?
how am I supposed to find it?
who will bring the sun to shine through this dark fog?
where is it that I really belong?
what should I be doing?
why am I really here?
will I ever find this place of pure satisfaction?
why is it this hard?
what can I do - floating lost in this uncertainty?
why do all these questions remain unanswered?

PIGSKIN PREVIEW: Leadership comes natural to Garrett
Being a leader can be one of the most daunting tasks asked of someone, but for Mustang junior quarterback Chandler Garrett, it comes naturally.
It seems everywhere the 6-foot-5 star QB goes, he has his own version of the "paparazzi" following close behind. If you go up to Mustang High School during school hours and want to find Garrett, you should try to find the biggest crowd because that's where he will be.
Garrett doesn't ask for it, nor does he even like it, but being the quarterback of a school the size of Mustang, he better get used to it.
"It's not something I really think about, honestly," he said. "I am just focused on going out on the field and helping my team be successful on Friday nights. That's my main concern every day right now."
The junior gunslinger isn't just a quarterback at Mustang High School. He is one of the top-recruited 2016 football prospects in the state of Oklahoma. It's easy to understand why when you look at him and what he can accomplish on the football field.
Garrett took over the starting quarterback job midway through the year last season for the Broncos as a sophomore when the MHS coaching staff decided to move three-year starting quarterback and senior captain Frankie Edwards to running back in order to help the team be as successful as possible.
"The experience I gained last year is going to help me a lot this season," he said. "I know what to expect now. I have played in some big games, so that won't have any effect on me at all. I am looking forward to the challenges we are going to face this coming year and overcoming them as a team."
The move benefited both players as Edwards is now playing college football for Oklahoma Baptist University as a running back and Garrett improved drastically as the season went along last year after he took over under center and even turning himself into a national prospect.
The move also was successful for the team, which for the Mustang coaching staff, was the ultimate reason for the decision. The Broncos made a quarterfinal playoff run with Edwards and Garrett both in the backfield for MHS.
In sports, comparisons are often made between athletes, whether it be two athletes who are competing in the same era on different levels, athletes who are in the same era and on the same level or athletes who are competing in different eras.
On the high school level, Garrett has the ability to run the ball with power like Blake Bell did for Oklahoma before he transitioned to tight end this season. However, Garrett has more speed than Bell running from the QB position.
Garrett also has the ability to throw the ball with velocity and touch similar to Sam Bradford did when he played for Putnam City North, OU and now the St. Louis Rams. Garrett's pocket presence is also impeccable. He has the ability to get his teammates' attention similar to what Tom Brady can do for the New England Patriots.
Ultimately, my comparison to Garrett is Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, because of his enormous size, rare ability to escape the pocket under duress and make plays when his team needs him the most.
Yes, Garrett will have an enormous amount of pressure on him this season as the leader of the team combined with being a play-maker on offense, but considering the size of his shoulders, Mustang is in good hands with Garrett carrying the load.
"I don't look at it as having more pressure on me this year," he said. "I am a lot more comfortable at this time this year than I was last year at this point. I understand the offense more this year and am very comfortable with all of the coaches. I look at it as having less pressure because I'm more comfortable."

People | 6 |
Bedrooms | 3 |
Bathrooms | 2 |
Property type | apartment |
Minimum Stay | 3 nights |
Lovely, comfortable, clean, first floor flat in RBKC, North Kensington. 3 Bedrooms, sleeps 6 near to the BBC. Quiet road, parks and transport on your door step. White City tube 13 minutes walk or take the bus. No 7 Bus goes into the West End.
A cosy, warm, comfortable, light and above all practical, tastefully furnished, first floor family apartment in W10 in the prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). North Kensington. Zone 2.
3 double bedrooms (sleeps 6), 2 bathrooms, practical kitchen with dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, microwave, large fridge and freezer. Washing machine and new dryer. Pretty little west facing balcony out from kitchen. Wall to wall light wool carpet. Original wooden sash windows. Working gas fire in living room. Cotton linen and towels provided.
Bracewell Road is a cherry tree lined street with two parks right on our doorstep. The smaller one 'Little Wormwood Scrubs', has an outdoor gym, adventure playground, and lovely walking spaces. The larger one 'Wormwood Scrubs Park' (top of the road turn left and cross road) is worth taking a walk around or even a run. Bracewell Road is a quiet, safe area with friendly neighbours.
All amenities are close by and within a few minutes walk. The No 7 bus at the top of our road goes to Portobello Market, Paddington Station (Heathrow Express) Oxford street and the West End. The No 70 goes direction Queensway and Hyde Park, or change onto the No 52 bus at Ladbroke Grove for Harrods, Victoria Station and The Tower of London. The undergrounds (2 different ones, 2 different lines) are about 12 minutes walk. Westfield, the biggest shopping centre in Europe, is 15 minutes walk or take the bus. It boasts amazing shops, cinemas and a huge selection of restaurants. I suggest when you arrive at my house you obtain from the little shops at the top of my road, an Oyster Card. This is a 'top up card', costs £5 and essential for traveling around on public transport and will save you money. Redeemable on your departure. Or buy a London Pass on-line.
A small supermarket (Tesco) is at the top of our road and sells the essentials, conveniently open from 6am to 11pm, 7 days a week. And a traditional English pub The Pavilion is 5 minutes walk. Great for a traditional Sunday lunch. There is also a chemist, a kebab house, well known Fish and Chips shop, a hairdresser and nail bar.
There is a Thai restaurant really close by with delicious food, great takeaway too. And of course Portobello has lots of lovely places to eat and drink. The Market is on all week but the famous days are Friday and Saturdays.
If you're renting a car there are meters at the top of the road (£1.10 an hour, max stay 5 hrs), and a free parking road not far but it's usually very hard to get a space. Outside our house is not permitted to park Monday to Friday 8.00 - 18.30. Saturday 8.00 - 13.30
My husband and I recently moved to our flat in central Barcelona where we run painting and sketching holidays (la-terraza-atico), so my lovely daughter Saskia, who lives in our ground floor flat, will welcome you, tell you about the area and manage our family home whilst we are away.
Please note, Notting Hill Gate is about 1.7 miles/35 mins walk away. We are Ladbroke Grove area, North Kensington. Take a look at Google maps and you'll see exactly where we are.
PS: May I suggest a very good cab company should you need collecting from Heathrow or any of the other London airports. This cab company is cheap and reliable and I have been using them for years. They are called 'Just Airports' and can be found on the web, based in Wembley.
*Damage Deposit in cash £250 (or the equivalent in your own currency) to be given to Saskia on check-in and returned, provided no damage has occurred, on check out.
*Check-in after 16:00 (and before 22:30, unless discussed with me)
*Check-out before 11:00 please
*Please leave £40 for the cleaner in cash on your departure.
Please bring a copy of your passport and show ID, also please print off and bring with you the Rental Agreement.
No smoking in the house.
Close doors, especially front door Quietly and respect the neighbours.
Keep noise to a minimum.
No shoes indoors please (on white carpets, leave outside kitchen).
Be safety conscious. Lock windows with window locks before going out.
Comprehensive travel insurance is a MUST, to cover you for all eventualities including cancellation, illness and repatriation.
Questions welcome.
Many Thanks,
I am happily married to Paul and a mother to two beautiful girls and now a grandmother. I spend most holidays in Ibiza where my family live and where my children went to school. I brought my family back to London in 1998 so that my children could finish their education and go to University in the UK.
I've been a freelance personal assistant to wealthy clients and as a hobby imported Italian, boutique wine to London. My husband Paul is an artist and for the present is tutoring guests in watercolour painting and sketching. We tutor these holidays in our flat in Barcelona, where i manage the catering and day to day running of our website. My children live in London and my family are spread around the globe.
Angela Raymonde-Cutler purchased this apartment in 1998
I bought my property thinking that i would refurbish, add the attic room, which i did, and then sell and move closer to Notting Hill Gate. But the property market moved up so quickly that i was priced out within the year! We bought the flat downstairs instead, now own the house and i'm so happy that i didn't sell as everyone seems to be moving down to my area!
My flat has a lovely, homely feel to it! And the fact that Saskia is so welcoming adds to the attraction.
It's incredibly easy to commute into the centre of town for tourist attractions, theatre, opera, shopping etc, but our area with Portobello Road and it's wonderful restaurants and cafes and clubs really has everything i need and want.
REVIEW LEFT IN MY GUEST BOOK. Stayed Mar14
Thank you for the good accommodation for our first and hopefully not last London trip. The flat was quiet, comfortable and just what we needed. Hate tp leave but...
Bracewell Road is very convenient for most things that you may want to do in London. White City tube station (central line) is in walking distance or a short bus ride which gives the visitor access to London. No 7 bus stops at the top of our road and goes via Ladbroke Grove and Portobello (15 mins walk) to Oxford Street. Great for sightseeing and much cheaper than the tourist bus! An Oyster card is essential for London transport and can be bought at the shop at the top of the road. The Pavilion Pub, again just up our road, serves typical english pub food and has a great selection of beers. The little Thai restaurant on Dalgano Gardens is definitely worth a try, book though as it's always full! Tescos, a small supermarket, is at the top of our road, open 6am - 11pm 7 days a week.
Bracewell Road is leafy and friendly Road with shops at the top of the road and 2 lovely parks at the other end.

EOS Lounge, Santa Barbara
500 Anacapa Street
Santa Barbara , California
Tel: 805 564 2410
Santa Barbara , California
Tel: 805 564 2410
Concierge.com's insider take:
EOS is a sleek party lounge that morphs into a dance club hosted by the area's hottest DJs around 10 pm. This place is one of downtown's scenier spots, but the vibeand the door policyis as relaxed as the beach town itself. You're just as likely to find a red-nosed tourist knocking back a Heineken as you are a local in Hugo Boss flip-flops sipping organic cocktails inspired by seasonally correct ingredients. Guests gravitate to the heated outdoor patio, decked out in Mediterranean island scheme with burbling fountains, an al fresco fireplace, and plenty of pillow-strewn booths for kicking back.
Open Thursdays and Fridays 5 pm to 2 am, Saturdays 8 pm to 2 am.

The sys admin's daily grind: Getting wet at LUG Camp
Wet Zone
Charly reports from LUG Camp in Flensburg, Germany. The fact that Charly got wet has nothing to do with absent mindedness, but much to do with the sheer wetness of the event.
Each of the eight previous LUG Camps [1] has been characterized by something special, including indoor camping in an old factory building at the Wuppertal Camp in 2005, or unusual locations, such as the Brienz shipping company's dry dock, where the Swiss branch hosted an amazing event in Interlaken.
What Flensburg had to offer in 2008 was commitment. LUG obviously only recruits members who have (too) much time and energy – excellent prerequisites for hosting this year's LUG Camp, which has alternated between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for nine years.
Floating Penguins
Naturally the fringe program would have something to do with water because, after all, Flensburg does host the Rum Regatta [2], and it was safe to assume there would be more than just a visit to the beach. In the Rum Regatta, the goal is to come in second; the first-placed team leaves empty handed.
Despite this, some 70 Linux geeks were still fairly surprised to be invited to join in with swimming tests. The organizers in Flensburg had rented the local baths for the afternoon and welcomed us with a synchronized swimming display that they had been practicing for almost a year. They really exhausted themselves, and weren't afraid to make fools of themselves to cheer up the audience with dry swimming displays [3].
We were touched, and jumped in at the deep end to take the swimming challenge from "Penguin" level – which is about what any normal seven-year old might be expected to achieve – to "Dead Tux" level – the name speaks for itself.
Blind Presentation
They also had a morning program, which the organizers took far too seriously. One of the mainstays at LUG camps is to drag somebody onto the stage and let them talk about a subject they haven't a clue of that is based on an OpenOffice presentation written by somebody else. Strangely, I seem to suffer from jet lag when I get back from some German venues, and Flensburg was one of them. If you are interested in experiencing the same kind of time warp, why not visit LUG Camp next year.
Check online for an event near you [4] [5]. Look forward to seeing you.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 I looked, and there was a form that had the appearance of a man. From what seemed to be His waist down was fire, and from His waist up was something that looked bright, like the gleam of amber. | 2 I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal. |

He has joined a lawsuit filed by a coalition of civil rights groups. The suit is on hold until the high court renders a decision.
Shee said he carries his passport in case he gets stopped again.
The number of illegal immigrants in Arizona has declined by about a third in recent years, from 530,000 in 2007 to 360,000 in 2011, according to federal government estimates.
Experts have attributed the decrease to several factors, including the economic downturn, tighter border security and state immigration laws. A 2007 Arizona law, allowed to take effect last year by the Supreme Court, prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
But in Arizona and elsewhere, the appetite for new immigration measures appears to have waned, in part because business leaders have objected. Arizona voters ousted Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, the architect of the 2010 law and the driving force behind other Arizona immigration laws, in a November recall election.
"There has been a great deal of buyer's remorse in those states that have enacted Arizona-type legislation," the ACLU's Romero said.
The high court decision will land in the middle of a presidential campaign in which Obama has been heavily courting Latino voters and presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has been struggling to win Latino support after a drawn-out primary campaign in which he and the other GOP candidates mostly embraced a hard line to avoid accusations that they support any kind of "amnesty" for illegal immigrants living in the U.S.
Justice Elena Kagan sat out last year's case and also will not take part in the new immigration case, presumably because of her work in the Obama administration. The court's conservative majority held sway in last year's 5-3 decision.

animal behaviour
: Instinctive learning
Instinctive learning
...to the event. In operant conditioning, the animal learns to associate a voluntary activity with specific consequences. In classical conditioning, the animal learns to associate a novel (conditioned) stimulus with a familiar (unconditioned) one. For example, in his study of classical conditioning, Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov demonstrated that by consistently exposing a dog to a...
: Instincts
The insect orients itself by responding to the stimuli it receives. Formerly, insect behaviour was described as a series of movements in response to stimuli. That hypothesis has been supplanted by one that holds that the insect has a central nervous system with built-in patterns of behaviour or instincts that can be triggered by environmental stimuli. These responses are modified by the...

Pain, startle, and novelty
Painful stimuli are preeminent among those that produce avoidance. Among mammals (including man) many such responses are patently inborn, as is the reflex withdrawal of one's finger from a hot griddle.

: Refractory period and anticipation
Refractory period and anticipation
When required to make quick, discrete responses to two stimuli separated in time by one-half second or less, an operator's reaction time (latency) for executing the second response is typically longer than that of his first response. This difference in reaction time is called the psychological refractory period.
sequential activity

Adaptation to successive events
One may respond to stimulation in an immediate way (as in unconditioned reflex action) without taking the element of time into account. Stimulation, however, can also signal an event to follow; then it has meaning only as part of the sequence of which it is the first term: bell announcing dinner, a road sign, or an approaching danger. People react to such stimuli with anticipatory behaviour...
thought processes
...thought processes have since been treated as intervening variables or constructs with properties that must be inferred from relations between two sets of observable events. These events are inputs (stimuli, present and past) and outputs (responses, including bodily movements and speech). For many psychologists such intervening variables serve as aids in making sense of the immensely complicated...

Neobehaviourism (like psychoanalysis) has made much of secondary reward value and stimulus generalization—i.e., the tendency of a stimulus pattern to become a source of satisfaction if it resembles or has frequently accompanied some form of biological gratification.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Nike
(NKE - Get Report) shares were upgraded to "outperform" from "neutral" by Macquarie on Thursday.
The firm raised the company's price target to $84 from $80.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
Nike shares are up 0.5% to $73.94 in early trading Thursday.
The improved rating is due to Nike's increased sales overseas.
"We initially launched with a Neutral as we were looking for further acceleration abroad to become incrementally more positive on the name. Despite dampened expectations due to FX headwinds with the latest print, we are now seeing very healthy revenue acceleration abroad on a constant FX basis," Macquarie said.
TheStreet Ratings team rates NIKE INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate NIKE INC (NKE) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 14.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 12.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- NKE's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.12 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, NKE has a quick ratio of 2.12, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry and the overall market, NIKE INC's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, this stock has enjoyed a nice rise of 25.59% which was in line with the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, NKE should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- NIKE INC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, NIKE INC increased its bottom line by earning $2.70 versus $2.42 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.96 versus $2.70).

When I was in the process of opening my small pharmacy more than 3 years ago, I contacted a security firm and installed several thousands of dollars worth of surveillance and alarm equipment. It works reliably, but it's a huge pain to change any setting in the system (there's no user interface, just a bunch of wires and keys) or get any footage out of it. It feels antiquated compared to today's more modern Internet-connected smart solutions with simplified experiences, but that was the most appropriate choice at the time.
Alarm.com is one of those ubiquitous home security companies that sells home safety packages, and like a lot of their competitors, they had an Android app simply as a check mark for comparison shoppers. Before today, the previous version of the security system's mobile component looked like it hadn't been touched since 2010. Yesterday's update fixed that primary problem with an extensive user interface refresh, granting easy access to all the security and automation features installed in a home.
We've already seen a short video where Android Wear is used to do simple things like toggle lamps and open a garage door, but Armando Ferreira took that concept and applied it to all the things. In this video demoing home automation with Android Wear, he toggle lights, a popcorn maker, and a PC, but doesn't stop there. He also uses his G Watch to adjust his home's thermostat, turn on the TV, and get a notification if any of the doors or windows in his house are opened.
A young Android device doesn't become a man until Tasker has come along to usher it into adulthood and some developer has used it achieve greatness. In the case of watches with Android Wear, this doesn't even require much work, for all the ingredients are already in place. This YouTube video shows a wearer using his Samsung Gear Live to control his home using Tasker and a selection of AutoApps.
In the video, we see developer Doug Gregory operate his living room lamp by issuing voice commands to his Gear Live.
With enough money, a collection of Z-Wave devices, and a Vera smart home controller, it doesn't take much to turn your home into an intelligent fortress. There's even an Android app by Vera that puts control of everything into the palm of your hand. But if we've learned anything over the years, it's that you're not impressing anyone until there's a Tasker plugin that can automate everything for you. Now there is.
Remember Piper, the crowdfunded home automation tool we featured almost half a year ago? Well the campaign is over and the gadget is on sale now. Once you get yours in the mail, you'll need to set it up and start using it, which is where the official Android app comes in. Piper Mobile is a free download, compatible with all Android devices running Gingerbread or later.
Piper is a little gadget that combines a wide-angle webcam and microphone with a Z-wave controller.
If you've been looking for an easy way to get into the home automation craze, Belkin has a series of plug-and-play accessories that will let you control lights and other electronics without any major home modifications. The WeMo series is relatively cheap and controllable with your phone or tablet via the Android app. Amazon's daily deal portal Gold Box has select WeMo accessories and switches on sale for today only.
The most basic part of the WeMo line is the WeMo Switch, a simple on/off switch that hangs out on a standard wall outlet and connects to your home's WiFi network.
Piper is a nifty little gadget that combines a number of recently deployed technologies to create a connected and hyper-aware home automation hub. The project has been getting a lot of press since it appeared on Indiegogo a couple of weeks ago, and it passed its $100,000 funding goal today. There's another twenty days before the project ends, so the creators won't be wanting for funds.
Piper is essentially is a little box that's stuffed with a ton of sensors and WiFi connectivity, making it the hub of a connected house.
Like many digital innovations, WigWag occupies the space between facilitating necessary evolution and being a lazy person's wet dream. It's an "If This Then That" intelligent environment-building sensor that reached its funding goal a month ago, already achieving twice the funds the team asked for. Now the campaign has ended, with WigWag acquiring nine times more than its $50,000 ambition.
What's all the excitement about? The WigWag is a sensor that empowers users to write their own rules for how their homes should function.
For the desktop/web power user, the If This, Then That (IFFT) service is invaluable - it powers more than a few behind-the-scenes processes here at Android Police, for example. So it's easy to see why taking that idea into the physical world has got a lot of people excited. They've responded by funding the WigWag Kickstarter project, a combination device/service that talks to and controls some of the more common home automation gadgets through a central hardware hub.

...ever been to a turkish prison?
Cleaned to Death!
Trip Start
Apr 09, 2006
Trip End
Jun 09, 2007
I chose not to have the massage since I was going to one of the more touristy hamams. A colleague from Lowe's (Rich Gonzalez) gave me a book called 1000 Places to go Before You Die and this place was on the list. It was also mentioned in my Lonely Planet guide.
So, I walked in the place and paid the hefty fee of 24 Lira + tip for a soak & scrub. I was brought to a small private changing room in a room full of such rooms and handed a small thin cloth to wrap around myself. After stripping and wrapping, I stepped out and was ushered into the steam room.
The main steam room of the Cagaloglu Hamam is built entirely of white and gray marble. Picture a large domed room surrounded by pillars with smaller domes surrounding the main one. There are holes cut through the main dome in the shape of stars that allow sunlight to stream in. The center of the room has a huge octagonal raised surface that you can lie on to really feel the heat. Massages are also done while lying here. Surrounding the raised area are a number of wash basins that are carved right out of the marble walls. All the fixtures were very old brass (I notice such things since working for Lowe's). Each has hot and luke warm water where you can wash up a bit yourself (you know, the bits you don't really want the attendant scrubbing). I was lucky to have about half of my time there completely alone to walk around and look at the place.
So I walked in a laid on the elevated surface and started sweating it all out. Just when I thought I would really sweat to death the attendant came in with a bowl of supplies and pointed to one of the side wash basins. He instructed me to sit beside one of them while he was putting on his exfoliation glove. I didn't notice at first, but this was the same guy who showed me into the changing room. He had changed into a wrap as well.
First, he poured several bowls of water on me and then started scrubbing. Scrubbed to death nearly! As he scrubbed he tried to find out where I was from but he only understood that I only spoke English and, of course, must be British. I tried to explain to him and he knew he didn't get it. I mean he was really going to town on every surface not covered. I mentioned that I was wearing a thin cloth, but there were a few men who just went naked. No biggee...there are separate facilities for women. Of course, after the first bowl of water was thrown over me, the cloth was soaking and basically falling off. As soon as he saw my (circumsized) dick he said 'OH - Jewish!'
After a bit of laughing I still couldn't explain it to him. Why are most Americans cut ANYWAY?? I don't think my son will be a freak like me.
After the scrubbing came the near drowning. First in suds and next in water. But, I somehow survived the whole thing and must say I felt quite refreshed after my 2 hour ordeal. I hope to repeat the process in a smaller Turkish city to get the real experience.
I've also wondered around the Grand and Egyptian bazaars - craziness! All vendors that sell a particular product are set up near each other. I don't mean clothes or food, I mean categories as small as belt buckles and sunglass cases. Vendor after vendor after vendor of belt buckles. Who knew?
A ferry ride across the Bosphorus to the Asian side is a must for any visit here - check! The city is beautiful at night.
Tonight I'm headed back to Taksim (the party district) to find trouble!!
XOXO to all and Happy Belated B-Day to Ms. Kynleigh Rose. Four years old!

Gambino crime family captain Ronald Trucchio, and his son, Alphonse Trucchio, a reputed Gambino soldier, have pled guilty to taking part in an illicit $30-million-a-year gambling enterprise.
The Trucchios will be sentenced to prison. Six additional defendants who were expected to plead guilty and eight other defendants, who previously pled guilty, expect to receive sentences ranging from six months in jail to three years in prison.
"The defendants were charged with operating an illegal sports betting ring that our investigation determined was accepting over $600,000 a week in illegal wagers on college and professional basketball and football and professional baseball and hockey and handling over $30 million a year in gambling action. The proceeds of illegal gambling are used by organized crime to fund its other criminal activities including auto insurance fraud, labor racketeering and prostitution. The defendants played the odds that they could evade detection but they lost their gamble and now they will be sent to prison," District Attorney Richard Brown said.
The defendants were arrested in December 2002 by detectives assigned to the New York City Police Department's Organized Crime Investigation Division and Asset Forfeiture Unit.
Alphonse Trucchio pled guilty on Monday to enterprise corruption and Ronald Trucchio pled guilty to attempted enterprise corruption, a violation of New York State's Organized Crime Control Act.
The Trucchios entered guilty pleas before Queens Supreme Court Judge Richard Buchter who indicated that on July 21st he would sentence Ronald Trucchio to a term of one to three years in prison and Alphonse Trucchio to a term of one and one-half to four and one-half years in prison.
Alphonse Trucchio admitted that he was the bookmaker who ran the criminal enterprise and Ronald Trucchio admitted that he discussed the gambling operation with his son.
According to the district attorney, Ronald Trucchio, 51, of 135-43 120th Street in South Ozone Park, was the operation's leader with ultimate control over the criminal enterprise and his son, Alphonse Trucchio, 25, of 156-04 79th Street in Howard Beach was the operation's bookmaker and head of operation's who oversaw all aspects of the operation and supervised the operation's controller, Anthony Moscatiello, 32, of 106-65 97th Street in Ozone Park, who conducted the operation's day-to-day business, maintained bettors' account information and provided that information to Alphonse Trucchio.
Defendant Moscatiello is expected to enter a plea of guilty to enterprise corruption and the court has indicated that he will be sentenced to a term of one to three years in prison.
Defendants Eugene Gallo, Richard Detke and Thomas Occhipinti, according to District Attorney Brown, were "runners" in the operation who provided bettors with telephone numbers and access codes for the operation's two wirerooms and who met weekly with bettors to settle their accounts.
Defendants Francis Roccaforte, Anthony Russo, Carmine Cascone and Michael Grillo, according to D.A. Brown, were clerks in the operation who answered phones at the wirerooms, recorded wagers called in by bettors and recorded those wagers on tally sheets for Moscatiello who then transcribed the wagers onto a controller sheet.
The Trucchio organization operated two separate wirerooms in a third-floor apartment at 89-07 North Conduit Avenue and in the basement of an attached, one-family house at 149-29 122nd Street, both in Ozone Park.

The GreenHouse program is designed to meet the following learning objectives:
- Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to explore key ecological principles and their importance in understanding the relationship between humans and their environment
- Providing a framework for developing one's sense of place, both here in Vermont and in life after graduation
- Promoting opportunities for environmental stewardship by applying local solutions to environmental problems
- Emphasizing ecological design methods while addressing environmental issues
- Developing environmental leadership skills and ways of becoming an effective advocate
- Cultivating an understanding of our individual and collective impacts on our environment
- Encouraging reflection on how one's academic discipline can inform an understanding of ecosystem function and contribute to environmental problem solving
The GreenHouse program engages students in a highly participatory, hands-on approach to learning and its learning objectives are achieved through a variety of ways:
- Self-paced courses
- Hands-on workshops
- Discussions and lectures
- Field trips
- Service projects
- GreenHouse guilds
- Community celebrations

Food From The Scrap Pile: A Tasty Science Experiment
July 18, 2012 by
Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off
Regrowing food from what might otherwise end up in the scrap-pile can be fun, educational and may feed you many times over! |
As a child I enjoyed growing an avocado tree from seed, potatoes from the eyes of an already potato (and even got several pounds of potatoes as a result) and even tried growing the tops of a pineapple. Although sadly I didn't end up with more pineapples – Go figure our environment It was part science experiment and part recycling of food scraps. More recently I have re-grown green onions from cut off ends I wasn't using and have also tried to plant the garlic that was growing in my pantry. Probably at one time or another I have tossed the seeds from whatever I was eating into dirt to see if it would grow.
It gets a little trickier now-a-days with anti-growth agents being added to food in grocery stores, but if you eat organically grown foods it becomes an option for sure!
Carrot Tops (I have read that other root crops would work well for this too, like beets, turnips and rutabagas)
Ginger Root
Green Onions/Leeks
Tomatoes from fresh seeds (Oddly I let several late season non-ripened tomatoes stay right in the garden and each spring I have several 'volunteers" growing!)
Potatoes/Sweet Potatoes
Whole seed spices
Think of the possibilities use whole seeds from your spice or herb bottles, seeds from fresh fruits and veggies. Certainly some of these options allow the items to be started from seed then planted, others allow for the scrap to go right into the ground, and still others can be started in water. It's an endless way to re-used what Mother Nature has gifted us!
It would be an excellent way for my children to learn a little more about the garden. They watched with awe as the green scallions regrew on the window sill. So what's next? Waste not, want not.
Have you ever tried this? What are your success stories of food you have grown from scraps?
