This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Below excerpt from: "Reid Controversy" - The Canadian Encyclopedia (online)
In 1980, Haida artist Jim Hart was 27 and unfamiliar with city ways when he first arrived in Vancouver from the Queen Charlottes. When his plane touched down at Vancouver airport, it seemed there were more people in the baggage claim area than in his entire home town of Masset. A slim but powerful carver with a long black ponytail, Hart soon got word that [Bill] Reid [see AskART] wanted him to work for him. Little did he know that his first job would involve carving the finishing details - known as "surfacing" or putting "the skin on the bird," as one artist describes it. At $10 an hour, Reid wanted him to surface his masterful creation, the 2.4-m-high yellow cedar
Raven and the First Men
. Little did anyone else know that for the next four years, Hart's elegant and meticulous carving would give life to some of Reid's best-known work. George Rammell (1952), the white Vancouver sculptor whose energy and artistic intelligence helped Reid realize the last 13 projects of his career, refers to it as the "tension on the surface - Jim was a master at that." And, he adds, "Bill often talked about that tension. He didn't have the skills to do that at that point. He never did, actually - he wasn't a surfacer like Jim, he was an intellectual anthropologist, not a craft-based artist."
Based on an original eight-centimetre boxwood carving done by Reid in 1970, T
he Raven and the First Men
is a tourist favourite that is the centrepiece at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology. When it was finished, it elevated Reid's reputation from a brilliant Haida goldsmith to master sculptor and brought him a far broader audience. But with his Parkinson's getting more severe, Reid needed help. "Bill was great at using experts," says Rammell. "He didn't hire you because of your chisel, he hired you for your soul, your whole energy. He expected us to dig him out of the fire. Some artists use clay - Bill used people."
...When Hart began the critical and laborious work of surfacing the sculpture, Reid gave him this terse advice: "Just finish it, get her done." That was the last he heard from Reid for a month. In all, Hart worked six months and was paid $10 an hour to finish the sculpture. But it wasn't the wages that irked him. His disappointment came when he watched a film on the making of the sculpture and realized there wasn't a single frame of him. When he later asked Museum of Anthropology staff for a still photo of his work, he was told none could be found. "Eventually I got one," says Hart. "That proved I was there."
For Hart, it was a brutal lesson in the politics of the art world and how Reid used the media - particularly film and television - to magnify his influence. As a former CBC broadcaster, Reid had wide connections that served him well. "Bill didn't waste his energy," says Rammell. "He was feeding the machine. He understood that a lot of his fame had to do with television." In some of the productions documenting his work, Reid either wrote and narrated the script or was a co-producer, partly financing the projects or keeping the rights to final script approval. (Once, when Reid was unhappy about a documentary, he even asked another filmmaker to remake it.) Hart, now 47 and one of the superstars of Haida art, says he learned a huge lesson from Reid - and it had nothing to do with carving. "I learned a lot about how the game was played from Bill," he says. "They took lots of shots of me, but didn't put me in the film. I'm sure Bill had a lot to do with that, just knowing how he operates."
... In the world of Bill Reid Ltd., the financial stakes were also high. In 1982, Vancouver's Equinox Gallery sold a gold version of the intricately patterned
Dogfish Transformation Pendant,
originally rendered in boxwood, to a local collector for around $100,000. Friends say Reid was deliriously happy with the high price. But although Reid had started the boxwood version, he made mistakes due to his illness and had to hand the work over to Hart, who says he salvaged it. Rammell recalls seeing the original in its sorry form, then the finished version, and being "amazed at how it was done - it was impeccable. Bill said he did it - and I still don't believe it. It looked like something Jim would have done. Some of the detail was too fine - Jim had the skills to do that."
Miller concurs. He says: "Most of the things Bill did at this time were a mess." Miller saw the boxwood carving at the beginning stages, roughed out with crude shapes. "Then, Bill went to the Charlottes where Jim Hart was and he came back with a masterpiece," said Miller. "It was Bill's vision and he directed the carving, but he couldn't do it with his own hands." Weeks later, Reid asked Miller to help him make a copy in gold. But Miller's participation has never been noted. Other spinoffs of the piece, meanwhile, were made under Reid's auspices; one was advertised for sale by Vancouver's Buschlen Mowatt Gallery in 1994 for $200,000.
...Martine Reid acknowledges that, by the 1980s, her husband "was probably not very capable of carving hard metals." He could, she said in an interview, carve wax - from which moulds were made for casting pieces of jewelry - and do repouss� work: shaping or ornamenting metal by hammering on the back. In the case of the boxwood
Dogfish Transformation Pendant
, which she now owns, she insists the work is Reid's: "Jim Hart never touched that - he must be thinking of something else." And even when others did the work, she says, the pieces are Reid's because "the designs are Bill's. No piece has been allowed on the market without Bill's standard of craftsmanship being accepted by him." Vancouver goldsmith Chang Sun, who acknowledges that he did many pieces for Reid, also says that, ultimately, the authorship of those works remains Reid's. "I'm just the hands," says Sun, who often engraved Reid's signature, from a stencil, onto the pieces he worked on. Everything was, Sun adds, "Reid's design. I don't think it's mine."
...Hart also says he salvaged another valuable Reid boxwood carving: a 10-cm killer whale. Again, Reid started the original. But his increasing hand tremors, according to Hart, made it "impossible." Hart adds: "I could see the hint of what he was heading for, but it was pretty rough. There was enough wood left to do stuff with it - so I just took it over and did it for him." (Reid's physical contribution consisted of the waves at the base of the statue.) It was the prototype for the 5.4-m bronze killer whale sculpture, actually made by Rammell and installed at the Vancouver Aquarium in 1984. Neither Rammell's nor Hart's name appears anywhere on the sculpture - a small plaque features only Reid's name. And to this day, the Vancouver Aquarium Web site credits Reid with having "sculpted" the work.
In the early days, Hart was happy for the work from Reid and still praises him for championing the Haida people and their art. Still, he soon grew tired of being "kept in the back-room" and "treated as a pair of hands." But Reid made it hard for Hart to leave. At one point, Reid bought Hart a Toyota Land Cruiser and had him work off the cost. Reid offered a similar deal to Clayton Gladstone, another Haida carver, in the late 1980s: some believe it was Reid's way of keeping his Haida workers dependent once they reached the city.
...Hart and others remember how Reid would create the illusion of control when people came to watch him work. "He'd show off for them," Hart says. "He'd grab a tool and start jimmying around, pile right in there and destroy an area. Then we'd clean it up. He was so strong to carry on under all that torment, but he'd end up giving the best he could, cutting his fingers or making some kind of mess of himself and also making a mess of some part of the work. But that was the game. It was showmanship: showing people he was the master, that it was his work and his project."
During the making of
The Spirit of Haida Gwaii
, it was a running joke with workers on the project: if Reid came to the studio, he'd be followed shortly by his entourage, a constant stream of collectors, dignitaries, museum directors and gallery owners. (One day, architect Arthur Erickson - who designed the Canadian Embassy in Washington and set his old friend Reid up for the commission for the sculpture - brought American actress Shirley MacLaine to the studio to see it being made.) Usually, Reid would start giving orders to the workers in front of the guests, proclaiming in his deep, sonorous voice: "Ah, they just don't get it. They just can't do it." Then he would walk away. "We had to put up with this stuff," says Rammell, "and I found it humiliating." Maclean's October 18, 1999

In 1999, a year after Bill Reid's death, the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver decided to preserve a 50 foot house-frontal totem, on its grounds, carved by Bill Reid and Douglas Cranmer in the 1950s. It would be taken down and moved inside out of the elements, where it had been standing since its creation. To replace it, the museum and the Canada Council Millennium Arts Fund commissioned Jim Hart to carve a new pole. Hart carved the 50 foot 750 year old Western red cedar totem and presided over the pole-raising ceremony, attended by 2500 people, on October 1, 2000. He was assisted in the project by team of artists that included carvers Paul White, Oliver Bell, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Nika Collison and Ernie Collison. The totem is named "The Respect to Bill Reid Pole".
"I want to pay respect to him (Bill Reid). I learned a lot by being with him; I learned a lot by watching him, too. He is one of us?The idea of the pole is that Bill was holding us on his shoulders as a people for a time" - Jim Hart, 2000.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Jim Hart is one of the Northwest Coast's most accomplished artists. His monumental sculptures, poles, prints, and jewelry can be found in collections throughout the world. Bridging classical and contemporary forms, Jim's work is valued internationally for its beauty, integrity, and innovation.
In August 1999, at the Memorial Chieftainship Potlatch at Old Massett, Haida Gwaii, Jim raised a 17 metre (55 foot) totem pole that he and his assistants carved in honour of his family. At this time, Jim received his name as Haida hereditary chief, 7idansuu (pronounced "ee-dan-soo"). This name was once held by Charles Edenshaw (ca.1839-1924) [see AskART], the master carver from whom Jim is descended.
Jim was born in 1952 into the Eagle Clan at Old Massett. He began carving seriously in 1979, and worked for Bill Reid [see AskART] from 1980 to 1984. He assisted with several of Bill's large-scale sculptures including
The Raven
and the
First Men
(at the Museum of Anthropology) and
The Lord of the Undersea
(at the Vancouver Aquarium). Jim also worked for acclaimed Haida artist Robert Davidson [see AskART]. After refining his jewelry-making techniques in Vancouver for two years, Jim moved back to Haida Gwaii. He now divides his time between Old Massett and Vancouver.
Jim is committed to working with emerging young artists from his community and, as a hereditary chief, has many responsibilities to carry out for his people. In his words, he enjoys "working for outsiders because they are interested in Haida art and culture," but he knows that he needs to "bring it back to (his) people - to the youth who are taking new directions." -Jim Hart, 2000

Biography from
Canadian Museum of Civilization
The youngest of the Haida carvers to show great promise is Jim Hart, who in 1988 supervised the construction of the Haida house in the Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. He was born in Masset, and is a descendant of the famous shaman Dr. Kud�. Jim Hart apprenticed with Bill Reid [see AskART] on the monumental sculpture
The Raven
and the
First Men
. Previously, he had worked with Robert Davidson [see AskART] on the Charles Edenshaw [see AskART] Memorial Longhouse.
During his early years as an artist, Jim Hart exercised his skills in many media, including silver and gold jewellery, and prints that explore the range of supernatural and human beings that were appropriate to his family. He also carved a replica of a pole that once stood at Masset in the last century and that now graces the outdoor Haida village at the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. A bronze miniature of this pole stands as a tribute to the pioneer ethnologist Marius Barbeau in the salon named after him at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
In 1993, the Canadian Museum of Civilization commissioned Jim Hart to create a manda'a figure, whose traditional purpose was to support the coffin of a Haida chief. This sculpture takes its inspiration from a piece collected from Skedans by Charles F. Newcombe for the Field Museum, but Hart has embellished it with his own distinctive designs on the tail. The idea for this commission rose from the popularity of the manda'a figure of a Wasgo (or Sea Wolf) that Bill Reid carved for the Museum of Anthropology in 1964, based on a nineteenth-century one by Charles Edenshaw at the Royal British Columbia Museum.
Another challenge undertaken by Jim Hart was recreating on a monumental scale a small shamanic piece depicting a man and woman straddling a huge Frog carved by an unnamed master of Haida art, probably in the 1870s. This unknown artist is probably the author of a piece acquired by the Glenbow Museum from a New York collection in 1975, depicting a Chinese immigrant with a prominent queue and typical costume of the period, as well as a secret society headpiece (VII-B-110) in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Jim Hart finished the tribute to the unknown artist early in 1995.
At an impressive potlatch held in Masset in 1995, the current Chief Edenshaw (Morris White) designated Jim Hart as his heir.

Biography from
American Museum of Natural History
Jim Hart, Advising Artist to Totems to Turquoise: Native North American Jewelry Arts of the Northwest and Southwest [for the American Museum of Natural History].
A Hereditary Chief of the Haida Nation and one of the Northwest Coast's most accomplished artists, Jim Hart is the great-great-grandson of Charles Edenshaw [see AskART], a great Haida artist whose carved works are recognized as masterpieces of international importance.
Hart was an assistant carver to renowned Haida carver Bill Reid (1920-1998) [see AskART]. As one of the youngest of the Haida carvers showing great promise, Hart supervised the construction of the Haida house exhibit in the Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa. Hart's monumental sculptures, poles, prints, and jewelry can be found in collections around the world. Bridging classical and contemporary forms, his work is valued for its beauty, integrity, and innovation. Hart's
Three Watchmen
bronze totem pole and another carved wooden totem pole are both on display during the exhibition at the Museum, along with selected jewelry.

Celebrated artist Jim Hart has created pieces for clients around the world, including a 30-foot totem pole for the Swedish royal family. Hart always strives to adhere closely to the classic Haida style.
"When I was a kid, my great-aunts would tell me how valuable Haida art was. But I took it all for granted. It was only late in high school that I began to realize that we have an art style and a culture that are truly great."
"Looking at old Haida pieces, in museums mostly, I get so excited, realizing that that was our written language. It just makes me want to carve, carve, carve."
"Today, it's what you do with that language that's what counts. Our art represents who we are. So I really feel pressure to do well, and to spend the time on a piece to finish it properly. Because it's representing me. It's representing my people."

After chatting to a young local and his New Orleans girlfriend and being praised for our love of country and desire to seek it out, we bid goodbye to the second great band of the evening and headed back to bed.

|ESPN.com: BCS
|[Print without images]
ESPN and the group that will administer the new college football playoff have reached an agreement in principle to present the playoff games and selected other games for 12 years on an exclusive basis across ESPN's platforms. The agreement will begin after the 2014 regular season (including January 2015) and continue through after the 2025 regular season (January 2026). It includes the national championship game and semifinals, as well as other bowl games that will be part of the rotation to host the semifinals. Combined with previous deals for the Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls, the arrangement would provide ESPN with rights to all games that are involved in the new post-season arrangement to determine a college football national champion. The agreement was announced today by ESPN President John Skipper and Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the BCS and the future college football playoff.
ESPN would feature the games on ESPN, ESPN Radio, ESPN Mobile TV and via WatchESPN on computers, smartphones, tablets and Xbox LIVE. Additionally, ESPN would have the rights to distribute the matchups on ESPN 3D, ESPN Deportes and around the world via ESPN International. Specifically, the arrangement would provide ESPN with rights to:
"Because of college football's widespread popularity and the incredible passion of its fans, few events are more meaningful than these games," Skipper said. "We are ecstatic at the opportunity to continue to crown a college football champion on ESPN's outlets for years to come, the perfect finale to our year-round commitment to the sport."
Hancock added, "We are delighted to continue our relationship with ESPN for 12 more years. ESPN's outlets provide numerous opportunities to bring this iconic event to the fans. Folks are going to love this playoff and the attention that ESPN will give to it."
ESPN is in the midst of a four-year agreement for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). The network televises all five games from the current format, including the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta Bowls, as well as the BCS National Championship Game. The two BCS National Championships Games on ESPN (2011, 2012) have generated the two largest audiences for any program in the history of cable television.
The new playoff will be administered by the Football Bowl Subdivision conferences and independent institutions.
The agreement in principle is subject to completion of definitive documentation and all necessary approvals.

Target Corp. has been sued by watchmaker Swatch Group for allegedly copying its designs for "zebra" and "multicolor" watches.
In a lawsuit made public in a New York federal court Monday, Swatch said it warned Target of the alleged infringement but that Target continued the watches, the Chicago Tribune and Reuters reported.
Minneapolis-based Target declined to comment on the suit. Swatch, based in Bienne, Switzerland, is also the maker of the luxury brands Breguet, Longines, Omega and Harry Winston.
Swatch's suit seeks to force Target to stop selling the watches and to recover profits Target made from them. The suit also seeks unspecified monetary damages.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Updated May 6, 2014 - 8:30 pm
Kevin Spacey, Jimmy Fallon team up for a cappella version of 'Talk Dirty'
He's at it again.
Less than 24 hours after making an appearance on KTAR.com's Lasso blog for lending his voice and likeness to the upcoming 'Call of Duty' video game, the ever-versatile Kevin Spacey has a new skill to add to his rapidly-growing resume: barber shop quartet singer.
The Hollywood/Broadway/cyber world star paired up with 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon and the Ragtime Gals for a stirring rendition of Jason Derulo's 'Talk Dirty.'
Suffice it to say, if the thousand of other commitments in his career don't pan out, Spacey has a bright future in a cappella.

For a Summer Getaway, a Model Prison
Published: July 11, 1997
(Page 2 of 3)
Visitors get a feel for life behind the walls by stepping inside the one refurbished cell. At 8 by 12 feet, it is roomier than today's prison cells, with space for a bed, stool, workbench, desk (plus a Bible) and toilet. The walls are whitewashed, antiseptically so, and there's a small skylight, circular in some cells to signify the eye of God. Opposite the entrance is another door, which leads to an outdoor exercise cell of equal size that could be visited for two scheduled hours a day.
Not bad, but there are rubs. The doors are small, forcing prisoners to stoop to enter as a reminder to repent and to be humble. The barrel-vaulted ceilings cause an echo, the better to prevent prisoners from trying to talk to each other.
Solitude was intended to prevent the spread of criminality while providing for reflection and penitence. ''They found evidence of insanity,'' my guide said. The teen-agers stared blankly at the white walls, perhaps puzzled.
In the corridors, guards would patrol the length of the cellblocks. There was central surveillance, too. The architect, John Haviland, broke as much new ground with his design as the prison did with its philosophy. He arranged the original seven cell-blocks like the spokes on a wagon wheel emanating from a central rotunda. From there, the key guard could see if anything went amiss. Unless something did, prompting them to enter, the other guards could not see into the cells; only the Higher Authority could do that.
This design was expensive. Indeed, Eastern State, built to house 250 inmates, cost $780,000 and was reputed to be the most expensive building in the United States.
The Prison Gives Up
By 1850, Eastern State's original plan was already going awry. A glut of prisoners led to the sharing of cells. Eight new cellblocks were eventually added to the seven. Some had two stories, leaving no exercise areas for those on the upper level. In a further inequity, second-story cells were built smaller to preserve the skylights in those on the ground floor. Eastern State's system was crumbling.
The Pennsylvania model was officially abandoned in 1913, and the penitentiary became a normal prison. Capone, who was incarcerated there in 1929-30, was even allowed to decorate his cell with antiques, oil paintings and Oriental rugs.
Visitors on the tour pass through Cellblock 4 into the prison yard, overgrown with weeds. They get peeks at the exercise cells, the old baseball diamond, the black cells used to punish bad behavior and death row. Along the way, they hear prison lore. After an hour had passed, there were still many questions: for example, were women imprisoned here? (Yes, only on second floors.) Like a good banquet speaker, the guide left his charges wanting more.
Perfect for Halloween
As my tour mates removed their hard hats and lingered in the shop, I headed off to meet Sean M. Kelley, Eastern State's program director and sole year-round, full-time employee. He has one tough job.
After years of neglect and exposure to the elements, the prison's walls and roofs are starting to collapse. The Pennsylvania Prison Society, which administers Eastern State, is struggling to pay for maintenance and new roofs to halt the decay. Some areas are off limits, like the mess hall, where the roof is caving in. The main source of money is admissions, especially for special events. On Sunday, for instance, the prison will commemorate the storming of the Bastille. The neighborhood is having its annual free block party from 4 to 9 P.M., with live music and French food prepared by area restaurants. The festivities culminate at 6 P.M., when people dressed as French revolutionaries armed with muskets and cannons and singing ''La Marseillaise'' storm Eastern State's gates.
Atop the towers will be Marie Antoinette, tossing Tastykakes and Twinkies into the crowd, which decides her fate at the guillotine. Eastern State is open for tours through the evening, at the usual $7 admission. (The rain date is July 20.)
Halloween is another treat, and the penitentiary's biggest fund-raiser. For five evenings, Oct. 28 through Nov. 1, the prison is transformed by theatrical lighting and music into a haunted house. Actors lead the tours, telling ghost stories along the way. Admission is $15.
The next two years will be crucial for Eastern State. Administrators are preparing to take on a challenge grant from the city. For five years beginning in 1999, it will give Eastern State $1 million a year if the prison can raise $4 million elsewhere annually.
Preserving the Dust
The $25 million total would pay to stabilize the whole building, partly restore the rotunda and three cell-blocks, renovate several cells to illustrate various historical periods, build a visitors' center and install heating and air-conditioning to keep the prison open year-round. But that's all.
''Most of the site is more powerful in its current condition than if it were scrubbed clean,'' Mr. Kelley said.
Ideally, money would also go to reclaim the multidenominational chapel and movie theater, which would be used for lectures and discussions. ''We want to discuss issues of criminal justice and the development of prisons once again,'' Mr. Kelley said. ''We have a summer symposium now, but everyone has to wear hard hats.''
How to Go, Where to Eat And What Else to See
Here is information on Eastern State Penitentiary, which is in downtown Philadelphia at 22d Street and Fairmount Avenue, just north of a neighborhood of Victorian houses:

So I am currently brewing a batch of my very tasty oatmeal stout. I am thinking of adding some cocoa and coffee post-fermentation, and am wondering what would be the best way to go about doing so. How much should I add of each, and how should I add it to the beer? ANY insight on how to successfully pull this off would be very much appreciated!
As for coffee, cold-brewing 2-4oz of your favorite coffee and add it when you rack to secondary. I say 2-4, because I've always done 2oz in the primary and 2oz in the secondary, so I'm not sure exactly how the secondary-only addition will work.
I've done 4 oz of cooled, brewed coffee into primary after fermentation and I thought that was good, but coffee tolerances definitely vary.
I've also done 4 oz of cold brewed coffee into secondary and that worked as well.
As for chocolate, you can add 2-4 oz cocoa nibs into secondary.
Just drink it in the morning.
If you aren't pressed for time, you could try adding very small amounts at a time, wait a few days, taste, and add more as necessary.
I recently made a chocolate coffee porter, and added the coffee to the secondary, as well as the cocoa nibs. I added the cocoa nibs first after crushing, toasting and soaked in vodka for 1 week. The chocolate extract tasted great and i added the vodka too. 1/2 pint or so. I then waited 7 or 10 days before adding the coffee. I steeped 4 ounces of French roast in a quart jar full of water overnight, and added the coffee the next morning, as that was my bottling day. I didn't think there was enough coffee flavor with the steep water I added, so I put another quart of water on the coffee grounds, shook it up, and poured that water into the secondary too. I wondered at that point if the coffee would now be overpowering. Yup, it was. Way too overpowering, I mean you could add cream and sugar and sell it as a cold coffee beverage. Fortunately my wife likes it, as I just can't drink them anymore. I guess my whole point here is what I have heard so many times; if your beer tastes strong enough now, it will be too strong. Or so it was for me. Don't get me wrong, I will make another on a day, just one I am not forced to bottle that same day.
What about lactose? I feel I remember a lot of breakfast stout recipes having lactose in it to make it nice and sweet. And obviously it has the coffee and the chocolate and all that goodness too. But it's just a thought.
Ive never brewed a breakfast stout though so I have no quantity suggestions. I'm sure there are plenty of great recipes here in the database though!
Pour the beer concoction over Cocoa Puffs. Because, everyone goes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Then, wash everything down with Irish Coffee.
Ok so after considering the actually useful input, 4 oz's of cold-brewed coffee seems like a decent starting point for a 5 gallon batch of a moderate gravity stout? About the cocoa nibs, my LHBS does not carry any. What are your guys suggestions on the cocoa? This brew is about 3 weeks old now and I would like to add the coffee and cocoa in about a week.

Justin Moody and David Pulliam are tired of hearing about people's criticisms of the Philadelphia Public League. As far as they're both concerned, playing football in the Public League was their springboard to the next level.
As a coach, Phil Monastra never wants to lose a game. That said, he's hoping an earlier, crushing defeat gave his players the wake-up call he felt they needed.
— In almost a decade at Franklin Towne Charter, Brianna O'Donnell has brought with her a winner's mentality.
The relationship between Brianna O'Donnell and Franklin Towne Charter has always been perfectly symbiotic.
Kristina Miller said she was nervous. Her coach said she was under the weather.
Denzel Turbeville hasn't been at Frankford High School for very long, but it's safe to say the two-sport star has had no trouble fitting into his new surroundings.
If this constituted an off night for Charlotte Kucowski, then the rest of the Catholic League should be put on notice.
Bryan Okolo will be the first to admit that the offensive system his Archbishop Ryan basketball team runs hardly resembles the explosive, run-and-gun style of, say, the United States Olympic team.
At just 2-6, there have been a few more lows than highs thus far for the Abraham Lincoln boys basketball team. Four of the six losses have come by 20 points or more, and the Railsplitters' most recent game, a 70-28 drubbing at Central on Jan. 2, was especially forgettable.
Chris Lauber knows full well it takes more than eight games to build a program. That being said, the first-year boys basketball coach at Franklin Towne Charter is confident the program he inherited is headed in the right direction.

Parallel Park
By dkildahl on Jun 01, 2011
Most of Silicon Valley is very spacious and I never have to parallel park, so I forget how to do it which is very inconvenient when I do go to the city. So I was happy to find a parallel park simulator.

actotis/arctotis ?
corgicorner(Mass 6/7)December 3, 2006
I have a plant that has what I(male)would call purple daisy-type flowers, and white/silvery deeply cut foliage. All the information I can find lists this as an annual with very different flower colors. I have googled this plant by the above names and got nothing decisive. The plant is outdoors and has withstood some frost. If you are knowledgeable about this plant I would appreciate your contacting me and let's see if we can possibly identify this plant. Possibly the plant is not one of the above.
Chemocurl zn5b/6a Indiana(zone 5/6)
I'm fairly certain what you describe is acrtotis....a half hardy annual. I had it in 2005, and it was a lovely plant that withstood several frosts b4 biting the dust.
It comes in many lovely colors.

Harvesting Asclepias (Milkweed) Seed
This is the easiest way I've discovered to obtain seed from a milkweed pod so if you're wanting to join in the effort to help the monarchs, give this a try.
1. Wait until the pod is "ready" before harvesting it - I find this to be a subjective term but by most accounts, the pod will be mostly dried out and starting to split lengthwise down the middle.
2. Make sure you're outside or at least in an area where you won't mind cleaning up fuzz.
3. Grasp the round, fat end in one hand and with the other, break off about one inch of the narrower, pointed end.
3. Carefully start pulling out the fuzzy stuff while trying to keep all of the seeds inside of the pod. An occasional seed might come out attached to some fuzz but you can either let the wind determine its fate or simply disconnect the seed from it.
4. Once you've got close to all of the fuzz removed, carefully open up the pod and pour out the seeds; removing any remaining fuzz and discard the shell of the pod.
5. Store in a cool, dry place until you're ready to sow.
Good luck!
I bought an asclepsia tuberosa plant last year & the flowers were beautiful! Now this year's seeds are splitting the pods & blowing away! I do catch some & dry the seeds in a baggie on the clothesline. How do I plant the seeds.. scatter them (as they are already doing themselves!) orplant them in the soil this fall or next spring? I want to probagate more of this flower!
You can just sprinkle the seeds onto some loose soil in the garden. You would be more assured of getting seedlings if you try the Wintersowing method. Go to the Wintersowing forum here at GardenWeb, and read the FAQ. It is a wonderful, inexpensive way to start seeds.

It seems like the UAE has become a hot destination for international music performers in the recent times. But why?
January 5, 2009 3:18 by kippreport
It's the season of musical performances in the country. Shakira just shook Abu Dhabi, and now Fatboy Slim is going to "spin Dubai" during the upcoming shopping festival.
With news of the global financial crisis and the drying liquidity in the market filling up media reports, it does seem slightly absurd to see the region pulling in these expensive performers. It does imply that there are people in the region who are still willing to shell out money for some entertainment, and are not yet tightening finances.
It also means that many jobs are still secure, that many lives are going on as usual, and that it is not all "doom and gloom." Right?
1 Comment
Our friend is rightly aghast at seeing such expensive singers passing through dubai- but let us face it- dubai is still moving on okay- the world-wide crisis has taken a bite, but small and medium enterprises like ours have kept ourselves under the radar- so we are doing okay, as yet- touchwood- . Maybe the trick is to avoid too much of overheads– we are slim, and hungry- our Merlin products like hdd media players, home theatres, mp3/mp4 players, watch cameras etc are selling well- regards- hiro bachani- mg. director- http://www.merlin-me.com

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Josie Martin Bowman, RN, MSN, PhD (East Carolina University )
Description: This clinical companion to Lewis et al.'s medical-surgical nursing textbook provides information on 200 medical-surgical diseases, disorders, and clinically related topics. The last edition was published in 2004.
Purpose: This is intended as a reference to help nurses care for patients and their families during illness and healthy states. This type of book is useful to nursing students and practicing registered nurses due to its condensed size.
Audience: It is written for all levels of nursing, including students who need to quickly look up something about the client's disease and practicing nurses who want a quick reference guide. The authors have years of experience in preparing textbooks and references for student and practicing nurses.
Features: The first of the book's three sections covers the diseases and disorders in alphabetical order, cross-referenced with the main textbook. The second unit discusses common medical-surgical treatments and procedures and the role of the nurse. The final section covers assessment, medication administration, some lab tests, and abbreviations. The authors also include some phrases in Spanish.
Assessment: This would be a good book for a school or college of nursing that desires a reference that students can take into clinical. Recently updated, it is current and correlates with most medical-surgical textbooks.

Best Ways to Use Paper Shredders
If you're concerned about protecting your personal information and sensitive documents, a paper shredder is an important tool for properly destroying documents. Paper shredders are made with multiple security features. Some shredders cut items into long strips, while cross-cut paper shredders go even further and shred documents into small diamond-shaped pieces. Here are some of the best ways to use a paper shredder to protect your identity and sensitive information. Shred paper documents. Shredding documents containing personal identification reduces the chance of someone obtaining personal information such as your social security number, address, birth date and phone number. Medium-sensitivity documents containing addresses and phone numbers can safely be disposed of with a normal cross-cut or thin strip paper shredder. For more private information and confidential documents, shredders that are medium or high security are the safest selection. These high-end paper shredders cut paper into even smaller pieces. Dispose of media. Some paper shredders are durable enough to destroy CDs and DVDs. As modern life becomes increasingly digital, more and more sensitive information is stored electronically. To protect this data, the right paper shredders reduce CDs and DVDs into jagged shards of plastic, making it impossible for anyone to retrieve sensitive data. Light-duty paper shredders won't shred plastic, but shredders that are medium to heavy duty are capable of shredding CDs and DVDs as well as paper. Destroy old credit cards. Simply breaking an old credit card in half or cutting it up by hand isn't really a safe way to dispose of these easily compromised items. To be sure your credit information is safe, run old or non-used cards through a medium to heavy-duty paper shredder. View All Paper Shredders Back to Guides Directory View All Paper Shredders
Best Ways to Repurpose an Old Bed Sheet
The next time you buy new bed sheets, reconsider before you throw the old sheets out. Whether your linen closet is overflowing with old sheets or you are hanging on to bed sheets that need mending, there are plenty of great ways to reuse old bedding that will add character to your home and reduce waste. This guide will give you a few ideas about the best ways to repurpose an old bed sheet.
Paper Shredder Buying Guide
For information security, a paper shredder may be exactly what your home or office needs to keep your personal and business documents secure. Shredding documents, and even media like CDs, can eliminate sources of sensitive information and keep them out of the wrong hands. This paper shredder buying guide will help you determine how to buy a paper shredder that is right for your information security strategy.
How to Oil a Paper Shredder
Regular use of paper shredders creates paper dust that can dry out components, dull the blades, clog the machine and burn out the motor. However, with proper oiling and maintenance, a paper shredder can last for years.Oiling a shredder can be accomplished using one of two quick methods. The paper method limits excess oil to the paper, reducing the chance of it splattering when you turn the machine back on. This method is more common than the second and can be used with all kinds of shredders. The paperless method may be less common, but it is just as effective at removing dust buildup from the blades of the shredder. Whichever method you choose, read the manufacturer's instructions before oiling the shredder and be sure to use manufacturer-approved lubricant, as the wrong oil can damage the machine.
Tips on the Importance of a Paper Shredder
The reasons for using paper shredders range from the need to minimize disposal size to safety and data security concerns. Paper shredders are the first line of defense against improper use of personal and business documents. Whether you want to shred your personal mail or need to dispose of large business documents, paper shredders are a critical piece of office equipment for rapidly and effectively disposing of your most sensitive information.
How to Pick the Right Paper Shredder
Certain office electronics are simply indispensible. Paper shredders in particular are an important part of office information security. Shredders protect the security of sensitive information and help with the disposal of documents and storage media. Anyone can select the office shredder that is best for their situation, but before you choose, take a few minutes to determine what your needs are.
Best Features of Paper Shredders
With identity theft on the rise, paper shredders are becoming more important than ever before. After all, a single bank statement in the wrong hands can give someone control over your account, something that a paper shredder can prevent from ever happening. Today's paper shredders come with a variety of different features, making shredders more convenient and effective than ever.
Diamond Cuts Fact Sheet
A diamond's cut is crucial in displaying the stone's quality. The cut refers to the way a diamond has been shaped and the precise facets of the gemstone. The cut is an important aspect to consider because a good cut can beautify an imperfect diamond and highlight the merits of an excellent gem, while a bad cut can ruin a gorgeous stone. Diamond facets must be cut precisely and symmetrically, so the stone can sparkle. You can choose from various diamond shapes, and different cuts complement different pieces of jewelry. As one of the 4 C's of buying diamonds, cut is an important thing to understand when you're shopping for diamond jewelry.

Abortion Rights (organisation)
Abortion Rights is the new name for the Abortion Law Reform Association. It is an advocacy organisation founed in the United Kingdom in 1936 by Janet Chance, Alice Jenkins and Joan Malleson that promotes access to abortion in the United Kingdom. It campaigned effectively after World War II for the elimination of legal obstacles to abortion and the peak of its work was the Abortion Act 1967.
In Autumn, 2003, ALRA combined with the more radical pro-choice group, National Abortion Campaign (founded in the 1970s to defend the Abortion Act against pro-life efforts), to form Abortion Rights.
Abortion Law Reform Association may also refer to similar groups in other countries, such as the Abortion Law Reform Association of New Zealand (ALRANZ) founded in 1970.
Position Statements[edit]
Abortion Rights is a campaigning organisation and have issued three position statements:
Statement on late abortions. This advocates the legalisation of abortions up to full-term.[1]
Statement on disability and abortion. This statement recognises the rights of disabled people[2]
Statement on sex-selection abortion. This advocated the decriminalisation of sex selective abortion[3]
Abortions Rights funds come from donations and membership from individuals. A proportion of their income also comes from affiliated groups. These affiliated groups include:[4][5][6]

DEFINITION of 'Transumer'
A consumer who values experience over ownership. Transumers are driven by the experience associated with using a product rather than owning it, and thus may be more likely to rent things when possible. Transumers typically have short attention spans, and are younger than traditional consumers. Examples of transumerism include renting movies, or even sharing a piece of expensive clothing among friends.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Transumer'
The growth of business travel is considered to one of the catalysts that has sparked the growth of transumers. Since business travelers are unlikely to be in a specific location for an extended period of time, they typically rent or lease products so that they will not have to take them along after their business is completed.
Marketers suggest that regular consumers may shift to being transumers if they want to "experience" more products, and that outright ownership can be cost prohibitive to a "here and now" feeling. A depressed economy and space considerations may also result in similar shifts.
For businesses, transumers present both a hurdle and an opportunity. Businesses may see fewer traditional purchases of luxury items, but may be able to reap more revenue over the long run by renting the goods out.
