Founded in April of 2011, the Renegade Derby Dames shared a vision of a league run for the skaters and by the skaters. With that goal in mind, we created a non-profit organization, based on democratic principles, operating as part of the larger derby community. And now, we are proud to announce that we became a full member league of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in March of 2014, which means that we joined the ranks of 211 all-female, skater owned and operated leagues worldwide that have united to lead the sport of women's flat track roller derby. After successfully completing the WFTDA Apprentice Program, we can now enjoy the benefits of full WFTDA membership, including the ability to compete in sanctioned games that qualify for WFTDA ranking. Our Charter Team, the Striking Vikings, will be facing
off with some fierce opponents in 2014 as they represent our league in two WFTDA
Sanctioned games against the Greater Toronto Area G-sTARs
and the Border City Brawlers, as
well as other bouts against Durham Region, Forest City, and Tri-City. Our B-Team, the Bombshell Battalion will also
represent our league against the local derby community this season in the Winter Wipeout
Tournament, as well as home games against South Simcoe Rebel Rollers, Grey Bruce Roller Derby, and the Rollergettes. Our league will also be taking part in the Fresh & Furious
Tournament in Toronto for new skaters, and look for us again in the Alliston
Potato Parade this August. The Renegade Derby Dames has also been involved in community outreach, providing fundraising support and donations to local charities. Over the years, we have contributed to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation for women's shelters and violence prevention, and we donated a Derby Girl For A Day package for the David Busby Centre Silent Auction to benefit the homeless. With 50/50 draws at our bouts, we helped My Sisters Place raise money to support their work helping women and their children who have been victims of violence in the home. Every Halloween, we have participated in the Trick-or-Eat Campaign, gathering over 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food items for the Good Shepherd Food Bank over the last three years, in addition to the food donations that we accept at every bout. In 2013, we hosted a charity EradiSKATE Cancer tournament, raising over $2300 for Matthew's House Hospice in Alliston. Our Objectives:
*Please note that as of May 2013, the Misfit Militia is an independent team no longer associated with the Renegade Derby Dames, and not a part of the WFTDA. Where We Practice |

Yesterday I was all set to post about bok choy, and the neat little recipe I'd found for Baby Bok Choy with Garlic and Ginger was just waiting for me to test it. But then suppertime came, and I realized that I was short on time because, well, I'd prioritized having a cocktail with the hubs over the evening's vegetable preparation. And, as it turned out, the pre-dinner cocktail led to a post-dinner second, which we sipped as we watched episodes 10 and 11 of Mad Men (season two). And after that, there was no going back to the computer to write a post for Big Onions.
What I'm realizing is that it takes some big onions to think it's feasible to plan, prepare, and then post about vegetables on a daily basis. True, they make my heart sing, and it's a song I want to sing to the world, but it's a labor of love that's also time consuming. And there will be times when yes, I'd rather sit on my duff, a glass in hand, and relax. So maaaayyyyybe I won't be posting every single day. But I'll at least try to give you the post-game wrap up, which is what I'm writing about now.
happy rich
Last night's repast consisted of a simple fusilli-type pasta casserole, made with grass fed ground beef (bought at Natural Roots) and a basic marinara sauce (from Trader Joe's). But the grande dame of the meal was the simplest: happy rich. Happy rich, as it turns out, is like a cross between collard greens and broccoli. Dark green, leafy, but with something in the center of the bunch resembling broccoli, or broccolini, in baby form. I gave it a rough chop, sauteed it in a little olive oil, added a dash of sea salt and pepper, and that was it. Not really a "recipe," but this gave balance to our meal in such a simple and satisfying way, and it's certainly easy enough to do.
I'm still dying to hear what others think of happy rich! I can't be his only lover.

"The animal also changes with the years. When it is older it has other desires than it had at an earlier age. At certain times it, too, has its happiness in life, and at other times it must endure hardship. Yes, when late autumn comes, even the flower can speak the wisdom of the years and say with truthfulness, 'All has its time, there is a time to be born and a time to die; there is a time to jest lightheartedly in the spring breeze, and a time to break under the autumn storm; there is a time to burst forth into blossom, beside the running water, beloved by the stream, and a time to wither and be forgotten; a time to be sought out for one's beauty, and a time to be unnoticed in one's wretchedness; there is a time to be nursed with care, and a time to be cast out with contempt; there is a time to delight in the warmth of the morning sun and a time to perish in the night's cold. All has its time…"

Aston Martin is entering the hypercar race with the Vulcan, a limited edition track only special. 24 of the 800bhp+ hypercars will be released. XCAR spoke to the car's designer, Marek Reichman, about his creation.
The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe is an amazing engine in a package full of soul, but as ever lacking a bit on the tech side. Buy it with your heart, not your head.
Pricing not available
While Aston is known for its strong blend of style, luxury and performance, to create the new track-only Vulcan the company has turned its focus directly at sheer power.
Aston Martin is only making 100 Vantage GT3s. They're super exclusive and super cool.
It's a stunner of a car that happens to seat four, though its beautiful interior is in dire need of a high-tech makeover.
Only 100 of these track-focused Aston Martins will ever be made. XCAR got to have a closer look -- and listen -- before anyone else.
Aston Martin's limited run Vantage GT3 is a 592bhp track-focused monster headed for a full unveil at this year's Geneva Motor Show. XCAR got an exclusive first look.
It might not be the first car you'd think to take out in the snow, but when you have one of the greatest V12-engined convertibles in the world at your disposal, you're not going to let a little cold stop you.
For its 100th anniversary, Aston Martin produced 100 examples of the Centenary Edition Vanquish. A stunning vehicle by all accounts but XCAR believes the car that truly embodies the spirit of the British sportscar manufacturer is the legendary DB5. Possibly the most famous car of all and certainly one of the most beautiful.
Jock Horsfall was an Aston Martin racer who during the Second World War took part in covert military operations that helped the allied forces take Italy. XCAR explores how a road trip with a very special passenger helped win the war.

The process of storing and retrieving information in the brain. Memory is a complex interaction of physical and chemical functions in the brain. Although cognitive functions including memory take place in the cerebrum, and the components of the so-called Pape's Circuit (most prominently the bilateral brain structures known as the hippocampi) are critical to storing new memories, the exact processes and brain locations responsible for storing and recalling an individual memory remain unclear. Researchers know that the NEUROTRANSMITTER ACETYLCHOLINE is essential for cognitive function. Medications to improve cognitive function including memory that are effective in people with Alzheimer's disease, in whom acetylcholine becomes depleted in critical areas of the basal forebrain, do not appear to be uniformly successful in people with Parkinson's, in whom acetylcholine levels remain normal but out of balance as a result of dopamine depletion. However, anti-parkinson's medications taken to restore dopamine levels in the brain that improve neuro-muscular function also improve cognitive function including memory. This finding suggests that there are varied pathways and processes through which memory storage and retrieval take place.
Short-term memory records information needed for immediate use, such as in reading. The brain's capacity for short-term memory is limited; information either moves into long-term memory or is "dumped" from the brain. Long-term memory is the brain's most significant storage and retrieval system. Disturbances with short-term memory can interfere with long-term memory processes. memory impairments that develop with Parkinson's affect both short-term and long-term memory functions. Activities that exercise memory help to keep it as functional as possible. However, the physical deteriorations that take place in the brain with Parkinson's disease eventually interfere with memory and cognition.

Imlee's stylishly casual décor gives immediate notice that this is not the standard South Florida Indian joint. And much, if not all, of Imlee's food backs up this promising first impression ... in due time. Which is not immediately. Munchies of crisp lentil pappadams with mango chutney (listed on the menu as costing, respectively, $1.95 and $2.45 but provided free) sate starving stomachs while diners wait. And wait.
Ordered appetizers were all tasty yet not entirely successful, owing mainly to timing. An assorted vegetable platter, for instance, arrived with all the vegetable pakoras (battered fritters) and butawada (battered potatoes) stone cold. The only item that arrived hot from the deep fryer (and obviously the culprit responsible for the delay), a vegetable samosa, was by far the platter's winner. Still the chili-spiked mashed potato-pea filling's wrapping, described as a "crêpe," was more like the outside of a prefab pie crust in both substance and subtlety. Much better was paneer pakora, though it bore no resemblance to usual pakoras, since the dish was unbattered. Paneer basically is a compressed yogurt, kind of like tofu, only tasty. This appetizer was a "sandwich" of two paneer rectangles, with a spiced spinach filling -- an inspired idea, if inaccurately described.

Malai kofta, defined on the menu as a dish of soft cheese and vegetables in mild creamy sauce, also was a puzzlement in terms of its description. We ordered the dish because it was listed as a "vegetarian specialty"-- a rare find, since normally malai kofta is meatballs in a creamy butter-enriched tomato sauce; a version substituting paneer for meatballs sounded intriguing. But the sauced balls that arrived at our table were nothing like Indian yogurt cheese (or any other nation's cheese I've ever sampled) in either taste or texture. They tasted like meatballs. This does not mean they were meatballs. Boca Burgers, after all, do a great ground-beef imitation, so Imlee's slightly more delicate constructions could certainly have been similarly vegetable-based. But the soft starchy balls definitely were not the paneer the menu leads one to expect. And the sauce, though creamy as advertised, definitely was not mild.
Daal makni also was an unusual treatment, starting with the dish's name, normally spelled dal (or occasionally dahl) makhani. "Dal" just means "legumes," which can mean anything from split peas to garbanzos. But the most widely used dal in Indian cuisine is lentils, and the most frequently encountered preparation in U.S. Indian restaurants is a simple purée enriched with minimally spiced (maybe a tad of turmeric) makhan, or butter. This dal is used more as a tongue-soothing sidekick to highly spiced entrées than as a star feature itself. In India, though, the spice-perfumed butter can contain, depending on region, flavorings as intense as mustard seed and truly mean green chilies. And so it goes at Imlee, where the dal featured strong hints of cilantro, fresh ginger, and highly concentrated tomato, plus a big-league burn. In fact the chilies were so searing that no butter richness whatsoever was discernable.
The fiery favorite, though, was kadai shrimp, the name referring to cooking in a cast-iron wok (called in India a kadai, karahi, or karai). In Britain this cooking style is called balti, and it's been all the rage for several years, probably because it's different; traditionally India tends toward slow-cooking methods that allow flavoring agents to permeate ingredients (like braising, stewing, or roasting) rather than sautéing or stir-frying. But it would be hard to imagine stronger flavoring than the rich -- and incendiary -- tomato coating covering this dish's five firm, precision-cooked jumbo prawns.
Mixed vegetables korma was less mixed than expected. Carrots and potatoes predominated, with onion only a secondary influence; the fresh green peas plus cauliflower or young turnips one usually finds in this preparation were absent. The dish's gravy, though, was terrific. Described on the menu as curry sauce, it actually was a close-to-classic korma braising liquid: creamy and slightly tangy, needing only a bit more thickness to truly adhere to the vegetable chunks as a korma's smooth sauce should. This was the only entrée emphatically ordered mild on a first visit, and the only entrée that came without substantial scorch.
On a second visit, chicken tikka masala ordered mild was near perfect, the tikka (cutlet) itself a bit dry to my taste but moistened by a cream-sauce coating. Flavored with a complex masala characterized by moderate amounts of many spices, the velvety sauce was not hot but also not bland, allowing the taste of the dish's onions and green peppers to emerge.
Paneer jahlfrezi brought the temperature back up. But this is as it should be with a jahlfrezi preparation: cooked with fresh chilies. And the innovative substitution of paneer for the poultry chunks worked wonderfully. (For carnivores standard chicken jahlfrezi also is available.)

FVPD summer camps — something for everybody
Fun for all ages: The Fox Valley Park District offers more than 75 summer camps. | SUPPLIED PHOTO
The Fox Valley
Park District
Website: www.foxvalleyparkdistrict.org
With more than 75 summer camps to choose from, the Fox Valley Park District has something for everybody. The wide range of programs provide enrichment for children of all ages, from 2-year-old toddlers to young teenagers.
What all these camps have in common is that they are unforgettable. Summer camp is full of excitement, adventure and new activities — treasured experiences in a young person's life.
One of the greatest takeaways from the summer camp experience are the lifelong memories that result. Every adult who attended camp in their youth fondly remembers the first bull's eye they hit at the archery range or hiking to that secret cave.
Summer camp brings kids off the couch, away from the temptations of technological gadgets, and into a world of discovery where they are able to learn and explore. At the heart of every summer camp are fun activities that paint positive impressions of healthy living and active lifestyles that children carry into adulthood.
No matter a camper's age, they're bound to develop friendships and form lasting bonds, as camp provides wonderful opportunities for kids to connect with peers their own age.
The FVPD offers free community camps — Summer Playgrounds and Neighborhood Art – and dozens of specialty camps. These include Ultimate Destination Camps — sign up for all seven of these one-week camps or do just a handful.
Tons of sports camps are available, too — including activities like lacrosse and skateboarding.
There's no shortage of exciting camp opportunities. Visit www.foxvalleyparkdistrict.org, and open new worlds for your child through a summer camp experience. They'll thank you for a lifetime.

A self-serve lemonade stand at summer gatherings (or one staffed by a cute little guy in a yellow bow tie like mine) is not only functional but festive. I don't have the room to store a cute stand, so I decided to design a system to attach a removable faux awning to a table we own that would stow away easily and compactly.
Before I explain this simple system, let's begin by creating the simple awning. Each pennant began as a 3" x 12" rectangle of (alternating) colored cardstock. Fold in half and round the bottom two corners with a corner punch. Sandwich two pieces of string between all folds and glue closed. Be sure the string is free at the top of the fold so the pennants can be slid later for easy placement. Add lettering if desired.
I imagined I would just strap some 1 x 2 poles or dowels to the legs of the kids' play table from inside to support the awning. However, when I actually went to do this, I realized the table top extended out further than the legs. An easy solution was to sandwich another piece of wood, cut to size, between the leg and poles to fill in the gap.
I added two zip ties to each side for stability. You could likely use other bindings, such as ribbon or chenille stems. Be sure the binding won't damage any delicate finishes.
I spray painted my poles yellow, mostly because I am addicted to spray painting anything I can get my hands on. Especially in yellow. Or turquoise. Or white. This isn't necessary of course. Screw in a threaded eyelet at the top of each pole.
Tie each end of the awning banner to the eyelets tautly. When you are done, untie and fold away for future use.
I leaned a chalkboard in front of the table to add a hand-written menu. Since my table legs were unusually wide, I figured I would come up with some decorations to hide the zip ties. I doubt my love of accordion circles will ever fade. Here I designed lemon slice circles, which I scattered around with rolled up masking tape on the back, but I left one zip tie showing for reference.
To get eight segments, I cut two strips of 1.5" x 6.75" yellow cardstock and used the scoring blade in my rotary trimmer to score every .75 inch. Accordion-fold and adhere in one long strip, and then adhere the ends together to form a continuous circle. Flatten at center and hot glue to a 4" paper doily layered onto a 4.25" circle of yellow cardstock easily cut with the circle cutter.
Now that the stand is constructed, the most important element to add is the lemonade! I decided to add a festive touch to the straws by creating little cardstock lemons.
To create texture, I embossed yellow cardstock using a texture plate. Next punch an XL circle squeeze punch once, then feed circle back into punch partially and punch again. Punch a hole at the center to thread onto straw. If straws are too thin , cut an X using a craft knife at the center to thread.
Sticking with stamps, using a lemon stamp is cute enough on its own to decorate lemon cupcakes glued to toothpicks.
All of the tags were tied to mason jars using twine fed through a 1/8 inch hole punch.
Since the stand and consumables were all decorated, I figured I should craft up a little cuteness for the lemonade stand "staff". I decided on a bright yellow bow tie but then remembered my sewing machine is currently broken.
I ended up designing a super quick felt bow tie. This is the kind of bow tie you throw on for fun and cuteness factor, not for a formal event.
Simply cut a 1.5" x 8.5" strip of yellow felt using a rotary cutter and acrylic ruler on a cutting mat. Overlap ends centered at back and hand stitch as shown. Cinch and tie off at the back. Wrap a 5/8" wide strip of felt around center and sew closed at back. Insert a bobby pin into center ring to attach to shirt. Alternatively you can sew another strip to feed through long enough to wrap around the child's neck and secure with Velcro dots.
I thought marketing would be a good lesson to tie into the fun of lemonade stand, so my son and I crafted up door hangers to place around his friends' doorknobs in the neighborhood.
To create a custom lemon stamp, trace a circle from the Circles-1 shape template onto the back of self-adhesive foam. Cut out using Fiskars' new non-stick kids scissors. Cut the circle in half, then in half again, and once more. You now have eight pie pieces. Peel off self-adhesive backing and assemble onto a recycled lid for stamping.
The Everywhere Punch Window System makes easy work of adding a circle opening for a door hanger. Just cut a slit from the circle to edge to feed onto doorknobs.
Lemonade stands have long been a quintessential part of summer. They are refreshing, festive, and most importantly – fun!

Cedar Plank Salmon With Asian Ginger Marinade
1 6lb salmon fillet, skin-on
1 untreated cedar plank, sized to accommodate salmon fillet
Asian Ginger Marinade
1/4 cup white wine
1 orange, finely grated zest and juice
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tsp honey
1 tsp asian chili sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
To begin with, soak an untreated piece of cedar in a container of water for at least an hour. You may need to place a weight on top to keep the wood immersed.
Meanwhile, combine ingredients for marinade in a large, flat shallow glass dish and marinate the salmon fillets, skin-on, in the refrigerator for half an hour. Preheat barbecue on HIGH for 10 minutes.
Pat dry plank and oil the upper side. Place plank directly on the grids and heat with the lid closed until the plank begins to smoke. Place the salmon, skin side down in the middle of the plank and grill until just opaque at the thickest part. A 6 lb. fillet may take 30 minutes.

'Drinking Responsibly' Can Have Another Meaning
There is a problem with alcohol in the UK: alcoholic-drink manufacturers don't have to specify all the ingredients in their drinks, and even when they do, they use descriptions that can disguise what is going down your throat on a night out.
They also don't have to mention if their filtration process is vegan. For example, lots of beers and wines are filtered to remove sediment. Some lagers are filtered through proteins found in a cow's stomach. Wine is sometimes passed through ground-up fish swim bladders (called isinglass) … Read more.

See biographies by G. Foreman (1938, repr. 1970) and C. C. Coblentz (1946, repr. 1962); Traveller Bird, Tell Them They Lie: The Sequoyah Myth (1971).
(born circa 1760/1770, Taskigi, North Carolina colony—died August 1843, near San Fernando, Mex.) Creator of the Cherokee writing system. Sequoyah was probably the son of a British trader. Convinced that the secret of the white people's power was written language, Sequoyah set about developing a Cherokee system. Adapting letters from English, Greek, and Hebrew, he created a system of 86 symbols representing all the syllables of the Cherokee language. Most Cherokee quickly became literate as a result. Sequoyah never learned to speak, read, or write English.

J. Evetts Haley, historian of the American West, once owned a ranch near Sequoyah.
There were 238 households out of which 36.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 77.7% were married couples living together, 3.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 16.0% were non-families. 13.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.82 and the average family size was 3.07.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 27.7% under the age of 18, 4.3% from 18 to 24, 28.9% from 25 to 44, 27.6% from 45 to 64, and 11.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 100.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 100.4 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $43,542, and the median income for a family was $50,417. Males had a median income of $32,969 versus $31,250 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $19,189. About 7.8% of families and 5.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including none of those under age 18 and 34.5% of those age 65 or over.

Sheriff's department eyes suspect in car damage case
By The Hays Daily News
The investigation continues into damage to a race car Oct. 12 at RPM Speedway in Hays, and the $1,000 reward for the arrest of the perpetrator still is available.
Ellis County Sheriff's deputy Thomas Garner said no new leads have been found in the last week relating to damage to Chadd Brown's modified during the final hours of Fall Nationals VII.
He said law enforcement has been concentrating on two people, with more of the focus on one of the parties.
"One is our best possible suspect," Garner said.
"We've talked to another person, had an interview with him. But the other person is our person of interest. The other is not a suspect."
Brown estimates the damage to be approximately $9,000 to a car that was new for the 2013 season.
Brown noticed the damage after returning to his home in Great Bend the morning after Fall Nationals VII. He contacted the Great Bend police department, who came out to take pictures of the damage and forward the information along to the Ellis County Sheriff's department.
Significant damage was done to the modified. On Monday, Garner said law enforcement had an idea of what type of object was used to cause the damage, but he wouldn't disclose what it was.
Brown's car was parked in the east overflow area of the pits in the dark. It was one of two cars loaded on a flatbed trailer. Only Brown's car sustained damage.
Garner said he still is optimistic a suspect will be brought into custody.
"I hope so, but right now, it's been a while," he said about any new information. "It's been at least a week since anything new. We're going to concentrate on what we have and go from there."
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Ellis County Sheriff's Department at (785) 625-1040.

Check suspicious objects with Scorp recon robot
Novatiq's micro reconnaissance robot can run around in day and night and spy on your enemies with its four cameras.
As machines that let first responders look at dangerous objects become increasingly common, Novatiq has started producing a throwable recon robot with the relatively low price tag of roughly $11,300.
The military-grade Scorp was announced last year with slightly different specs. At 13 inches long and 7.7 pounds, it's compact and light enough for backpack portability.
It's also tough enough to be thrown into buildings and dangerous areas, just like the lighter 110 FirstLook from iRobot.
Both machines are remote-operated, roll on treads, and have flippers that enable them to climb stairs, train tracks, and other obstacles. Both can move around for up to six hours on a battery charge.
The Scorp can roll at up to 5 mph and receive commands from its wearable controller up to a distance of 1,650 feet. If it loses touch with the signal, it will automatically backtrack until it's reestablished.
The spybot has a tilt camera on each side, can relay real-time 360-degree video, and can be fitted with various sensors and a robotic arm. It can also carry payloads of up to 6 pounds, according to Switzerland-based Novatiq.
Even better, the company is planning to introduce some very cool accessories for the Scorp such as wire cutters, adapters for explosives, disruptors, and biochemical detectors.
Tools like those may help save lives on the front lines.

Sign in to digital edition
Friday 6 Mar 2015
By David Ekserdjian. Comment, Issue 222, March 2011Published online: 09 March 2011
Alleged copyright infringements abound today (see related story), but neither the practice of artistic borrowing nor its potential legal ramifications are a novelty. In the first decade of the 16th century, the most important Italian printmaker of the day, Marcantonio Raimondi, produced what were to all intents and purposes engraved counterfeits of woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer, and in his Lives of the Artists, of 1568, Vasari alleges that when Dürer complained to the Venetian senate "he got nothing but the sentence that Marcantonio could no longer add the name or monogram of Albrecht to his works".
See also:
A few years later, in the colophon to the 1511 edition of his Life of the Virgin, Dürer railed against "envious thieves of the work and invention of others", and referred to the privilege he had received from the Emperor Maximilian. Dürer's objection inhabits a kind of no man's land, because it is not clear whether what most infuriated him was the rape of his technical innovation or of his artistic invention, but more generally artists must have taken less comprehensive borrowings on the chin. It was a routine aspect of their training to copy the works of their great precursors—not least those of antiquity—and of their contemporaries. Even Dürer himself engaged in such practices. In consequence, they can hardly have been surprised if every now and then they themselves fell victim to what has been dubbed the sincerest form of flattery.It was inevitably a short step from such learning exercises to the insertion of the poses of individual figures into new compositions. As a rule, Vasari does not single out these borrowings, but that does not mean he was unaware of them, not least since he too would have been obliged to plead guilty to such lifting. Moreover, in discussing Niccolò dell'Abate's high altarpiece for the church of San Pietro in Modena (a painting which was destroyed in Dresden during the second world war, but whose appearance is known from photographs), he states that it represented "the beheading of St Peter and St Paul, imitating in the soldier who is cutting off their heads a similar figure by the hand of Antonio da Correggio, much renowned, which is in San Giovanni Evangelista at Parma". Another common Renaissance procedure was to commission what were in effect replicas of existing works of art, in which the dependence was contractually stipulated by a clause employing the formulation "modo et forma" (in the manner and the form). In the event, artists often preferred to create variants on their models, but the authors of the prototypes plainly had no control over the subsequent fates of their compositions.In truth, then as now, the real issue concerned the quality of the work of art that emerged, which is why we variously refer to such derivations as plagiarism (boo!) or homage (hoorah!). The other point about homages is the extent to which they were meant to be recognised by their audience—it is hard to imagine artists with superb visual memories hoping to conceal borrowings from their peers, for all that some of them have taken centuries to be spotted by mere art historians.A more interesting question is whether it is necessary for the prototype to be a work of distinction in its own right. As a rule, artists tended to borrow from what they took to be the major achievements of their predecessors, but over time it has not infrequently become apparent that they were actually plundering non-Leonardos, non-Raphaels, non-Michelangelos and so on. Of course, it goes without saying that some of these productions by lesser figures are excellent works of art, but it is hard to doubt that some of their appeal resided in the mystique of the name associated with them. Perhaps the most remarkable transformation occurs in Titian's harrowing late canvas of the Flaying of Marsyas in Kromeriz, whose source is either an undistinguished drawing by Giulio Romano or an even more dismal small fresco in the Palazzo Te in Mantua based upon it and executed by a talentless member of his workshop. Here it might be tempting to contend that the great Venetian's brushwork or his ability to convey emotion make all the difference, and yet there is more to it than that. In an uncanny masterstroke, Titian found something magical in Giulio's invention, which its far from ungifted creator—who in effect threw it away in a minor part of the decoration of the palace—was unable to see. The writer is the professor of the history of art and film at the University of Leicester

Fundamentally art is about ideas. When R.Prince appropriates the work of another artist, he's hopefully changing the IDEAS that the work is expressing. Therefore it's an entirely different picture, just the surface looks the same. If your going to copy - then alter the IDEA expressed in the work. It should be a better more meaningful IDEA. Otherwise it's just an empty gesture. Here's a project for someone who wants to have a real art experience. Buy a cheap stool, a bicycle wheel (with fork and post). Drill a hole in the stool. Insert wheel. See what happens - it's a pure joy! You'll make a perfect object. Nothing can be done to it to improve on it! http://www.collectingorphanart.com/

Its a recognized way of honing your skills and exercising your mind, to copy and hopefully improve on others' ideas. This is a fundamental fact of humanity, art, society. This is how come we can talk and read & write. This is why great ideas last and get even better. This why the blues are still the blues, even though its all been done. People who won't copy cos its been done already have to become un-artists... they have to give it up since there's nothing new left to make. (don't forget that bad artists borrow & good artists steal!) Of course there's nothing new under the sun, but who cares?? make something GOOD instead of something new. The cult of New is not going anywhere, its doomed to never learn from its mistakes.

Plagiarists are parasites who feed off hosts greater than greater than they. Despite their best efforts they're intellectually lazy and lacking in any true talent. What artist worth his salt could honestly feel good about profiteering from the labors of others and fame by association? True we're all inspired by and learn from others... but these guys are more like Elvis impersonators (the fact that they create their own white jumpsuits notwithstanding). Everybody knows you're no Elvis.

The abject Plagiarism of Contemporary Artists that is at issue here. And not loose theories of Painters taking references from other paintings in distant centuries. Pre Modernism accepts Plagiarism as an Art in itself. The Leeds 6 for example. By simply looking over the 20th century Modern Art one can see most of the actual concepts of the work that institutions or academics put value on and ones that are presented by 21st Century leading Premodernists as their own! eg:Francois Xavier Lalanne and Claude Lalanne Sheep circa 1965 Damian. Hirst Sheep If the important factor and value of Art today is Concept-and not Talent- Then the Conceptual Artist should have the good grace to offer something original of thought. And not merely copy the idea of an original concept and present it as their own. Authenticty ref: Fried/Diderot 2005 should be the issue of Art in our century. We have nothing left other than ideas

The Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees that cover the entire spectrum of computing. From designing computers and smart appliances, to programming games and enterprise websites, our graduates are at the cutting edge of science, engineering, and technology.
California State University, Monterey Bay provides an exceptional education at an affordable price. They are a small, residential campus with an engaged faculty. Students receive individual attention, plus the many opportunities of a comprehensive university. They're one of the 23 campuses that make up the California State University system. Like the other CSUs, our name comes from their location. Our 1,387-acre campus is one mile from the shores of Monterey Bay, between the Salinas Valley and Monterey Peninsula. They serve students from the entire state of California, but 31 percent of their undergraduate students come from Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties. They pride themselves on making higher education accessible to traditionally underserved (38%) and low-income (33%) populations.
To advance the kingdom of Jesus Christ by equipping our graduates with the knowledge, skills and virtues required to pursue vocations in computing or information systems in a competent and socially responsible way, as informed by a reformed Christian world-view
To pursue our vision by building and maintaining the best possible undergraduate programs in computer science and information systems, with an emphasis on service in the areas of education, scholarship, and community
Welcome to Canisius College, Western New York's premier private comprehensive university. Founded by members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1870, our 77-acre campus houses 32 buildings which contain the modern resources needed to give you a quality education. Canisius College takes pride in being a college in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition that seeks to educate the whole person by caring for the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical life of the individual.

Best known for its academic excellence and warm, welcoming campus community, Carleton offers 37 majors and 15 concentrations in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Carleton College is committed to providing a true liberal arts education, a curriculum that challenges their students to learn broadly and think deeply. The most important thing their students learn is how to learn for a lifetime. Carleton's student body is notoriously difficult to categorize, but if they had to choose just one word to describe them, it would be curious. They're an intellectually insatiable group that approaches learning with enthusiasm, energy, and a uniquely Carleton brand of playfulness. Broad-ranging interests are common, and friendships seem to cross all traditional boundaries.
Carnegie Mellon University is world-renowned for its school of computer science. The University believes computational thinking to be a necessary fundamental skill used by everyone in the world and aspires to lead in computer science research and education that has an impact in the real world.

The building will include the Gates Center for Computer Science and will be used for technology research. Carnegie Mellon's professors have won numerous distinguished awards for computer hardware and software, such as the A.M. Turing Award.
Carroll College is a Catholic, diocesan, liberal arts college in the ecumenical tradition of the Second Vatican Council.
As a liberal arts school, Carroll College acknowledges the practical role of preparing its students for a career, but it also affirms the traditional role of providing for the expansion of the intellectual, imaginative, and social awareness of its students. It is dedicated to providing for its students the means for their full realization of a dual goal of vocation and enlightenment. Thus, while providing substantial professional and pre-professional programs, the College encourages and expects all students to participate in a broad spectrum of academic disciplines.
As an academic community, Carroll College affirms its commitment to the principle of freedom of inquiry in the process of investigating, understanding, critically reflecting upon, and finally judging reality and truth in all fields of human knowledge. As value-oriented, Carroll College is committed to and deeply involved in the further dimension of free deliberation and decision making regarding values and personal commitment.

Cortland Mayor Cuts Deputy Fire Chief From Budget, City Council Adopts Tentative Spending Plan
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Cortland City Mayor Brian Tobin has amended his proposed 2014 city budget, Tobin has slashed $125 thousand dollars from the tentative spending plan by cutting a Deputy Fire Chief position.
Tobin back tracked on his proposed spending plan last night; Tobin informed the City Council that due to uncertainty about whether or not the City would receive a grant that he planned to use to fund the Deputy Chief's position next year, he could not forward the tentative budget to the City Council for review and consideration.
The move took Cortland City Fire Chief Chuck Glover by surprise; Glover said he received little to no warning of the proposed amendment. Glover said he would like to be given the opportunity to find money in his budget to maintain the position.
Glover went on to say that he is concerned about the impact the cut would have on his department which has come to provide more services to city residents since he started their as a volunteer in the late 70's.
Tobin said despite his recommendation the City Council still has the ability to restore the cut. Tobin was confident that even if the position is not restored no one in the Fire Department would actually lose their job. There is a vacant Captains Position that the current Deputy Chief could move to if it remains unfilled, otherwise the Deputy Chief could drop to a firefighter position and plans to hire and train another firefighter in March could be scrapped.
Cortland's draft 2014 budget calls for nearly 19 million in spending next year, it includes nearly 3% tax increase. It would also increase water and sewer fees. The City Council has scheduled public hearings on the budget Nov. 19th and December 3rd.

BROOKINGS, Ore. — An armed man barricaded himself inside a home for more than 14 hours, drawing in law enforcement agencies from all over the state, and shutting down a major highway.
On Saturday night, the Curry County Sheriff's Office went to investigate a sexual assault case on Heather Lane in Brookings. After contacting the victim, police tried to talk to the suspect, who is now identified as 42-year-old Lorenzo Ignacio King from Alaska.
The suspect had barricaded himself inside the home with a weapon and refused to talk to police. The Sheriff's Department says at that point, the surrounding area was evacuated and Highway 101 was shut down. SWAT teams were also called.
King continued to verbally threaten officers during hours of attempts at contact. Oregon State Police assisted by sending a robot into the residence to try to open lines of communication. With no sign of improvement, OSP then deployed numerous rounds of gas canisters into the home.
At 4 a.m., the team forcibly entered the barricaded room when King was heard gasping. King still refused to obey commands and was tased several times by the SWAT team. Police say King was suffering from several self-inflicted wounds from a knife or sharp object. He was airlifted to the hospital and is in critical, but stable, condition.

The #6 Hornet softball team used a one hitter from Courtney Reed in game one and Morgan Viola was three for four with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in the nightcap to take a pair of wins over Washburn on Thursday.
Reed moved her record to 18-3 as ESU won the matinee 2-0 for her ninth shutout of the season. All-American Megan Davison provided all the runs for the Hornets, singling and scoring in the second inning and adding her 49th career home run in the fourth. She was walked in the fifth and intentionally walked in the seventh inning.
In game two Davison gave ESU the lead with a two run triple in the third and scored on Viola's two run homer two batters later. The Hornets would take an 8-2 lead into the seventh inning before the Lady Blues put three runs on the board. Reed then came on in relief of Samantha Sheeley and retired the final two batters to pick up her first save of the year.
ESU is scheduled to be back in action this weekend at the Northwest Missouri Classic in Maryville, Mo.

More reviews by sadielovesmakeup06
this item is discontinued**
I got this when i became a new rep several years ago. it is a good pinky nude color, and i love it! at the time i was not a fan of berry colors, and was very into the natural look, and this definately helped me pull off a cute nude lip! It is so small compared to other lipsticks, such as drugstore or mac, but you actually get more product than those other ones!! mark generally has great products, but they usually are like limited edition types, as they never stick around for a long time... that is both a good and a bad thing cuz when u like a product, you need to repurchase quickly or you may not get it again :( that was my mistake

With razor-sharp insight, bestselling author Roger Lowenstein tells the full story of the end of Wall Street as we knew it.
Roger Lowenstein's The End of Wall Street unfurls a gripping chronicle of the 2008 financial collapse, drawing on 180 interviews with top government officials and Wall Street CEOs. Lowenstein looks to the roots of the crisis to reveal how America succumbed to the siren song of easy debt and speculative mortgages. Combining deep analysis with sizzling narrative, The End of Wall Street charts the end of an era of unprecedented and unwarranted optimism while looking ahead to the legacy of the bailout.
About the Author
