Relocating To SLO - Rate The Tennis Clubs
Hey Tennis Warehouse Players. I am relocating from Orange County to Nipomo. I know about Avila Bay as I have played there. I do not know about SLO Country CLub or other places where you all play. What's the story with those two clay courts in Pismo? Being new, I don't think I want to stand around the public courts waiting for a game. I'm an older A (5.0 ntrp) player who likes to hit and rally/practice 4 times per week. Any suggestions?

Hey kayak!
Living in Nipomo gives you the option of playing in Santa Maria and SLO as it's somewhat the halfway point; 15-20 min either way.
In Santa Maria, there's the SM Country Club (http://www.santamariacc.com/) which offers league play, group, and private lessons. They're extremely friendly and their coaching is excellent. I'm not sure if they have another assistant coach at the moment, but the head pros are a father/daughter duo from South Africa.
Five Cities, which is between Nipomo and SLO, has league play and tournaments; usually at the 3.5-5.0 level. You can contact the Five Cities Tennis Association (http://fivecitiestennis.com/) for more info. It's been a long battle between Santa Maria vs Five Cities.. SM is usually the underdog. Here's a list of players you can call within the area (http://fivecitiestennis.com/players_..._opponents.htm)
There's the SLO Country Club (http://sanluisobispo.memberstatement...m?tourid=23071) that just hired Bill Dunkle as their head pro, former coach at the Jack Kramer Club, and Paige Billingsley, former Cal Poly assistant coach.
The clay courts in Pismo aren't true "clay courts". They're pretty tore up… Arizona Red Rock.. not maintained that well. There's a number on the gate in which you can call to get into the courts.
Overall, if you're looking for that much hitting time I would suggest Avila or the country clubs since that's the closest thing to league we have up here. You can still find players that are extremely friendly and love the game. Any more questions let me know.

AGE: It's rude to ask
OCCUPATION: Various
NATIONALITY: American
What was your first car?
A yellow 1985 Lamborghini. Matchbox. I got so much tail with it.
And your best car?
My Chevette always behaved well, but probably because she didn't have air-conditioning or power windows or a floor, so it was up to me to make her run.
What about your worst car?
The Buick with the off-white hood and bright white body that I assembled from scraps I picked up at the junkyard.
What's the fastest you've driven?
88 miles per hour. I'd have gone faster, but I ended up back in 1955.
How clean is your licence?
I'd eat off it, if that's what you're wondering. I also use it to slice cheese and spread butter.
Ever had a crash?
I watched the movie Crash - the one with Matt Dillon 'cause Lois wouldn't let me watch the dirty one with the chick from Broadcast News.
Can you drift?
Of course. The trick is to block out the noise that is Lois and think about that hot secretary from the office.
What's understeer?
The second most important bull on the farm.
Ever changed an oil filter?
Joe's once, at the gym. No specifics.
Which country makes the best cars?
Wow. Geography? We specifically discussed NO GEOGRAPHY questions in the pre-interview.
Have you owned an Alfa Romeo?
Um, what?
Finally, can you draw us a car?
See my frankfurtermobile! [pic 6, above]

The elegant city park with its mighty trees, carefully placed sculptures and cultivated brilliant display of flowers is the "green lung" right in the centre. The "Barockhäuschen" (Baroque Cottage) is evidence of a time when the people of Winterthur used to enjoy the summer resort here. In the 18th century, gardens were set out on the area of the present-day city park and small weekend or summer cottages provided accommodation. The city's residents came here in order to enjoy the fresh air outside of the city walls; the narrow "Barockhäuschen" dates back to this time. During the 60's the present-day city park was developed within the scope of a design competition. Various rare species of trees make the city park special; for example here you can find American sequoias, a cutleaf beech, a real sugar maple or a rare horse chestnut.

The problem isn't that math isn't important. The problem is that the math being taught isn't important.
Totally agree.
With calculators and computers, nobody needs to know math itself.
Totally disagree. There's definitely a base level of mathematical understanding that is necessary to use calculators and computers. For example, students need to know that entering "1 + 3 / 4 - 2" into the calculator is not the same as "(1 + 3)/(4 - 2)".
Personally, I think computational mathematics is one of the important areas where the "traditional curriculum" is currently lacking. It's like the curriculum is trapped in the early 1900s and hasn't acknowledged the way computers have transformed society. In this technology rich era, students need to become educated computer users.
Accordingly, the focus of mathematics education needs to shift from "memorizing formulas" to "thinking algorithmically". Not only will this benefit the students going into further STEM studies, but other subject areas as well. Even something as simple as "baking a cake" can be thought of as an algorithm.

William Morris
A Collection of Seventy-Two Wallpaper Samples
Designed 1864–1890, printed 1932, or earlier
Printer: A. Sanderson and Sons, Ltd., London, England
Hand-printed wood block prints in distemper colors on wove paper
Gift of Mrs. William H. Hansen
You may remember this past spring when my colleague, Shoshana Resnikoff, wrote a blog post about May Morris's Bed Hangings in celebration of her birthday. Well today on the blog we take a look at her father, William Morris (1834–1896), designer, poet, novelist, socialist, translator of Icelandic sagas(!), and all-around creative visionary who shaped the Arts and Crafts movement in England and its many iterations throughout Europe and the United States.
Morris despised the cheap, mass-manufactured goods and deteriorating social and labor conditions that characterized England after the Industrial Revolution, and reverted back to medieval visual language and production techniques in his art and design work as a nostalgic memorial to simpler times. Perhaps best known for his wallpaper designs of the late-nineteenth century, each roll was made by hand in a long and painstaking woodblock printing process (imagine lining up each carved woodblock to match the edge of each stamp that preceded it, not to mention using a different block for every color on the paper!). Each piece is inspired by–but an abstraction of–natural flora, and Morris described this impulse as such:
"Is it not better to be reminded however simply of the close vine trellises which keep out the sun … or of the many-flowered meadows of Picardy … than having to count day after day a few sham-real houghs and flowers, casting sham-real shadows on your walls, with little hint of any-thing beyond Covent Garden in them?'
–William Morris, "The Lesser Arts," in Hopes and Fears About Art, 1882.
Cranbrook Art Museum holds seventy-two wallpaper samples in its collection, which were donated by Mrs. Olive Hansen in 1991. Peter Heinrich Hansen, Mrs. Hansen's father-in-law, was a German immigrant who in 1904 was hired as a designer-draftsman by none other than Gustav Stickley, one of the American Craftsman style's greatest furniture makers (and like Morris, an ardent socialist). When Hansen and his wife Ruth, who herself worked for Stickley as an architectural draftsman, were redecorating their home in upstate New York, they ordered wallpaper samples of every pattern made by Morris & Company–the design firm founded by William Morris–and never threw them away.
You can read more about the design, implementation, and social context of William Morris's wallpapers on the Victoria and Albert Museum website. And for more on Morris's influence on George Booth and the foundation of Cranbrook, you can check out this great gallery guide written by a former Art Museum fellow, which I've scanned and uploaded here.

Pipsan: The Lesser-Known (But No Less Impressive!) Saarinen Sibling
Sol-Air Canvas Chaise Lounge, c. 1950
Pipsan Saarinen Swanson and J. Robert F. Swanson for Swanson and Associates
Iron, rope, and canvas
34 x 23 x 24 in. (86.4 x 58.4 x 61 cm)
Transfered from the Cranbrook Academy of Art
If it were up to me, every month would be Women's History Month, but alas for the foreseeable future it is *officially* delegated to March in the United States, and today is our last chance to celebrate! How auspicious that March 31 also happens to be the birthday of Pipsan (born Eva Lisa) Saarinen Swanson, designer of furniture, interiors, fashion, and textiles, and younger sister of one of the most recognizable names in modern architecture, Eero Saarinen. Pipsan's father Eliel was of course the architect of the Cranbrook Campus and President of the Cranbrook Academy of Art from 1932-1946, but before being lured to Bloomfield Hills by Cranbrook founder George Gough Booth, he was a visiting professor of architecture at the University of Michigan. One of his star students was Grand Rapids native J. Robert F. Swanson, who upon graduation founded the Swanson and Booth architectural firm at Cranbrook with his University of Michigan classmate Henry Scripps Booth, George's son. It was here that Swanson was introduced to Pipsan, and immediately Cupid wielded his mighty arrow–they were married in 1926. After Swanson broke away to establish his own firm, Swanson and Associates, Pipsan was enlisted as an interior designer for the company, and the husband and wife team would continue their working and romantic partnership for the rest of their lives.
Cranbrook Art Museum holds in its collection a wonderful array of objects designed by the Swansons, as well as many costume, glass, and textile designs executed solely by Pipsan. Shoshana Resnikoff, Collections Fellow for the Center for Collections and Research (and frequent guest blogger on Cranbrook Sightings) has written a beautiful account of one such costume design on our sister blog, Cranbrook Kitchen Sink.
In addition to their architectural and interior designs, Swanson and Associates often designed furniture and textiles for regional manufacturers. In 1949, the firm was hired by Cincinatti furniture company Ficks Reed to develop a line of casual pieces for the home that could transition from indoor to outdoor use. The Swansons ultimately created a suite of twelve chairs, tables, and benches, as well as a chaise lounge and a daybed, for a line they titled "Sol-Air"–likely a play on the word "solar," as other titles considered were "Sunair" and "Solunair."
The furniture series was a hit with the design community, ultimately being selected for the 1950 inaugural (and now notorious) "Good Design" exhibition at the Chicago Merchandise Mart, co-sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This October 1950 press release from the MoMA outlines the reception of the exhibited works based on polls from different categories of the public, and Pipsan's Sol-Air Canvas Chaise Lounge came in second place among buyers–quite a propitious sign for the Ficks Reed wholesalers!
The weatherproof, bright persimmon chaise lounge radiated casual, youthful relaxation, and throughout the suite's five years in production was consistently one of its best sellers. With spring finally (FINALLY) upon us, I'll take reclining in one of these nautically-inspired stunners over curling up in a womb chair any day. Well done, Pipsan!

Happy Birthday, May Morris!
May Morris
Bed-Hangings (Two Curtains)
1916, or earlier
Embroidered wool on linen
Each panel: 76 ¾ x 27 inches
Gift of George Gough Booth and Ellen Scripps Booth
On the 152nd anniversary of her birth (editor's note: plus one day, because this editor is on a research trip and didn't have time to get to the blog yesterday!), all of us at Cranbrook Art Museum are excited to wish artist and designer May Morris a very happy birthday! Born March 25, 1862 in Bexley Heath, England, May Morris grew up in an artistic community fueled by the beliefs of her father William Morris, a founder of the British Arts and Crafts Movement. Intellectually committed to her father's movement, she learned needlecraft at the feet of her mother Jane, a Pre-Raphaelite model and muse for Morris and others.
As an adult May Morris advocated both for her father's artistic movement and for women's involvement in art through needlework. She traveled the United States for five months between 1909 and 1910, lecturing on the Arts and Crafts movement and women's role in the arts. Exposed to the women's rights movement growing in the United States in this period, Morris became a champion for trade unions and women's arts guilds—a move that earned her the dislike of many Arts and Crafts leaders, including Gustav Stickley.
It was during this lecture tour that George Gough Booth first encountered Morris's work. Ten years later Booth purchased these bed-hangings—designed by Morris and executed by Morris and fellow needleworker and teacher Mary Newill—from a 1920 Detroit Society of Arts Crafts exhibition featuring Morris's work and that of other British Arts and Crafts artists. Designed in 1916, the bed-hangings were first exhibited at the Eleventh Arts and Crafts Exhibition in London in the same year and were published in The Studio: Year-Book of Decorative Art in 1917. George and Ellen Booth loved the bed-hangings, which they hung in Cranbrook House until 1955.

Happy Birthday Albert Herter!
Albert Herter
The Great Crusade
Cotton, wool, and silk tapestry
Manufactured by the Herter Looms, Inc., New York, New York
156 x 120 inches
Gift of George Gough Booth and Ellen Scripps Booth
A day late but with no less affection, we here at the Cranbrook Art Museum wish a very happy birthday to Albert Herter, born on March 2, 1871. The son of Christian Herter, one half of New York's famed Herter Brothers design and decorating firm, Albert went on to become a successful artist and decorator in his own right. Over his lengthy career he painted portraits of the Bouviers, executed many private and civic murals in the United States and Europe, opened and decorated an exclusive Montecito hotel for America's elite, and in 1908 founded the Herter Looms weaving company.
Although Herter Looms manufactured a variety of textiles for home furnishings, it is perhaps best known for its output of revivalist tapestries, often designed by Albert. Below is an essay about Herter's The Great Crusade tapestry, written by former Cranbrook Academy of Art director Gerhardt Knodel for the 2004 publication Cranbrook Art Museum: 100 Treasures. For even more about the tapestry's design and execution, check out Robbie Terman's post on our sister blog, Cranbrook Kitchen Sink.
[Cranbrook founder] George Booth was inspired to mark the end of the World War I in 1918 with a commemorative tapestry designed in the European tradition. His pen and ink sketch was submitted to renowned designer Albert Herter in New York City, who developed Booth's concept and oversaw the work's production by the Herter Looms in 1920. The resulting tapestry is beautiful, unique, and dense with political symbolism.
Since the Middle Ages, tapestries functioned as a means to document and glorify the "progress" of civilization. The Great Crusade presents America, whose involvement in the battlefields brought the war to an end, as the savior of European culture. The tapestry depicts the great political and religious leaders of Europe's cultural past standing on the ground (Henry VIII, Francis I, Joan of Arc, among others) welcoming the triumphant victor, General Pershing on horseback, leading his troops. A Renaissance-style angel of victory is suspended in the sky above the crowd, accompanied by American bi-planes, the first ever used in warfare. The tapestry is a "red-carpet" homage to the victors.

Catherine Murphy's Nighttime Self-Portrait

Nighttime Self-Portrait

Gift of Rose M. Shuey, from the Collection of Dr. John and Rose M. Shuey

From this gusty tundra of unrelenting frigidity (-20 degrees with windchill today!), we here at Cranbrook Art Museum would like to extend our warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to Catherine Murphy, the 2013 winner of the Robert De Niro, Sr., Prize, awarded to one outstanding mid-career artist each year. Since the 1960s, Murphy's representational paintings have been widely exhibited and prolifically produced, but the artist's talent for nuanced channels of perception remains at times underappreciated.
Cranbrook Art Musum holds Murphy's Nighttime Self-Portrait (1985) in its permanent collection, acquired as part of a generous gift of contemporary paintings and sculpture from the Collection of Dr. John and Rose M. Shuey in 2001. The Shueys were principally drawn to abstraction during their many decades of collecting, but the somber power of Murphy's Nighttime so deeply enthralls, it is no wonder they made an exception for this piece. (And, when pressed, Rose Shuey told museum director Gregory Wittkopp that this painting was one of her personal favorites). Confronting the roles of observation and audience, Murphy's own darkened countenance is captured within a window reflection, conflating the positions of both artist and viewer. Hidden behind a window mullion, a fracture in elevation between the porch and the front of the house subtly reveals the passing of time. Here Murphy challenges the immediacy of the captured image and highlights the minute variables in every mode of awareness.
Personally, I delight in Murphy's work from the 1980s for its inquisitiveness of perspective and examination of the ordinary. With a quality reminiscent of Vilhelm Hammershøi's haunting domestic vignettes, her glances up stairwells and through windows and doors are muted in tone and both meticulous and hazy, evoking the dreamy disquiet of a vivid memory. As Linda Nochlin has noted, Murphy's paintings are "charged with a very contemporary awareness of the ambiguities of the domestic, of the ways, both dramatic and subtle, that the known shades into the mysterious, the personal into the objective, the cozy in to the uncanny."
Bravo, Ms. Murphy! We are so thrilled for you, and look forward to many more years of enchanting artistic output.

Valentine's Day at Cranbrook
Suite of eighteen prints
Photo-Lithography and serigraphy three-color separation relief
Photography and lithography by David W. Wharton and Michael D. Powe
Printed at Cranbrook Academy of Art
All photos of Valentine's Day at Cranbrook (c) Estate of Shiro Ikegawa
What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than by taking a leisurely stroll around the Cranbrook campus in sub-zero temperatures, photographing ice formations and footprints in the snow? In 1977, artist Shiro Ikegawa (1933–2009) did just that, commemorating one of America's most beloved and reviled holidays with a suite of eighteen photo-lithographs and silk-screened prints. Cranbrook Academy of Art's printmaking department invited Ikegawa for a two week visit, during which time he led critiques and became an acting art director of sorts, supervising students as they executed his works on the lithographic press.
The three images below were published in a Birmingham-Bloomfield Eccentric article about Ikegawa's visit. Photos by Barbara McClellan.
On the morning of Valentine's Day, Ikegawa spent three hours out in the cold documenting scenes with his camera from around Cranbrook's grounds. The portfolios he created with printmaking students David W. Wharton, Michael D. Powe, and Czashka Ross included prints of his photographs from that day, as well as a copy of a letter from printmaking artist-in-residence Connor Everts inviting him to visit, maps of Oakland county, and recurring representational drawings of fish, which persisted as important symbols for the artist throughout his career.
Ikegawa and the students created the portfolios as a limited edition of fifty. With eighteen prints included in each, the project was extremely arduous. Wharton recalls transferring the images onto lithographic stone, applying the ink by hand, and printing each one individually. The colors in each tri-colored serigraph also had to be separated by hand. After several fourteen-hour days in the studio, a compact and perfectly packaged treasure emerged—the product of a true labor of love!

ATLANTA -- It was simply supposed to be the icing on the cake.
Nothing more than a sweet finish to a six-bowl day that challenges even the heartiest of gridiron souls to stay tuned for better than 14 hours from start to finish.
Georgia Nation joked that the Nokia Sugar Bowl, moved here from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, was just another home game for their beloved Dawgs in their second home -- which is located just 75 miles west of the Athens campus.
No expectation. No substance. No drama.
And on paper, who could argue with them?
Georgia had won seven of its last eight bowl games. West Virginia had lost 11 of its last 12 bowl games.
The Dawgs were champs of the mighty SEC. The Mountaineers carried a similar flag for the Big East, but in a conference that's so publicly maligned that one of the chief criticisms against the BCS isn't that it doesn't get the 1 vs. 2 game right, but rather that the Big East still has its automatic bid.
Not that the conference has made it easy on itself by going 0-6 against ranked non-conference opponents during the regular season. Or that it was 0-3 in bowl games entering Monday night. Or that Big East teams, other than the recently departed Miami, were 0-3 all-time in BCS games.
Apparently, however, West Virginia forgot to read the script.
Instead, the Mountaineers spent the better part of four hours burning up the Georgia Dome turf as WVU (11-1) jumped out early and then hung on for 38-35 win over the favored Dawgs (10-3).
"We played a great football team tonight," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "They executed beautifully. If I wasn't coaching against them, I really would have enjoyed watching it because they did a great job."
When West Virginia won the coin toss before the game, the heavily partisan Georgia crowd probably thought it was the only thing the Mountaineers would win Monday night.
The first quarter showed otherwise.
When the first 15 minutes were in the book, WVU had raced out to a 21-0 lead thanks in part to the play of its dynamic freshman duo: quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton.
The diminutive Slaton darted in and around the Georgia defense for a 52-yard TD to give WVU a 7-0 lead and that set the tone. It was followed by a 3-yard TD pass from White to Darius Reynaud. And then Reynaud finished off the early scoring with a 13-yard run.
As shocking as the three-touchdown margin was, especially considering Georgia had only given up 21 points in an entire game once this season, the damage on the rest of the stat sheet was equally unexpected.
WVU had more rushing yards (112) than Georgia had total yards (61). And in a true show of dominance, WVU didn't punt while Georgia didn't cross midfield.
"I think the players took to heart some of the criticism of the league, the fact that nobody was predicting us to win," Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez said. "Hopefully this will give us some national respect; hopefully this will give the Big East some national respect.
"And hopefully people can quit talking about how the Big East doesn't have good football because it does. We don't have a big conference but it's pretty competitive."
At the end of the first quarter, the Mountaineers ran down the field to change sides at the break. The Georgia players labored their way over to their sideline for some water, for some advice, and maybe even some reinforcements.
"One thing about this matchup was that there was no team we played this season that ran the offense they ran like they do or as well as they do," Richt said. "And there's no defense that lined up the way this defense lined up.
"So it was just impossible to simulate what we were about to see. I didn't think we would end up being down 28, but I wasn't surprised that we started out a little slow."
In any case, the Dawgs finally answered their wake-up call.
After WVU increased the lead to 28-0 in the opening minute of the second quarter, Georgia finally showed up. Kregg Lumpkin and Thomas Brown each ripped off touchdown runs of 34 and 52 yards respectively. And then quarterback D.J. Shockley engineered an 11-play, 80-yard drive that closed the gap to 31-21 at the half.
The 52 combined first-half points broke the BCS record of 48 set in last year's FedEx Orange Bowl (USC 38, Oklahoma 10).
More importantly, it set up the continuation of a shootout that no one ever saw coming.
The frenetic pace from the first half slowed, but it was replaced with the back-and-forth feel associated with a big-time game.
In the second half, WVU was hurt a bit by its inability to mount a serious passing attack. With only 26 yards through the air, it allowed Georgia to crowd the box and forced the slippery freshmen duo of White and Slaton to try and outmaneuver the Dawg defense.
They did so with regularity by finding seams, exploiting them, and then by changing directions with ankle-breaking precision.
Particularly impressive was a nine-play, 95-yard drive early in the fourth quarter that gave WVU a 38-28 lead. White and Slaton accounted for nine of the 10 plays, and it was capped off by another 52-yard Slaton TD run (his third score of the game).
"The line did a great job tonight and on that play it was wide open," Slaton said. "I saw the safety was over to my right so I just ran away from him.
"We've been working all year on our conditioning and I felt that they couldn't match up with our speed. So we just used that to our advantage."
But Georgia had one more answer with its own seven-play, 90-yard drive when Shockley found a wide open Bryan McClendon for a 43-yard score to cut the lead back to three at 38-35.
The game took its final turn when WVU, on a fourth-and-6 on the Georgia 48, opted for a fake that punter Phil Brady ran for 10 yards. One more first down, courtesy of Slaton and White, and the Mountaineers ran out the clock for the three-point win.
Slaton ended with 26 carries for a Sugar Bowl record 204 yards and 3 TDs.
"We talked to Steve a lot about just making one cut and hitting it," Rodriguez said. "When you play a team that's got a great secondary with great speed you can't make a lot of moves. I was really on him to press the blocks, make one cut and just hit it.
"And he did that today, and I think it really helped him make some of those big runs."
West Virginia finished with 502 total yards, with White being the other big contributor. The QB was an efficient 11-of-14 for 120 yards and TD, and he added 77 rushing yards on 24 carries.
"I think the win gives our program a lot of confidence, but I still don't think anybody is going to give us any respect," White said. "We've got to start working in the spring again and get ready for next year."
Maybe future opponents will take note of what the Mountaineers offense (which only loses three starters to graduation) is capable of, no matter how young it might be. That's something not all of the Dawgs did coming into the Sugar Bowl.
In the final days leading up to the game, Georgia's All-America safety Greg Blue practically salivated at the prospect of facing West Virginia's White and Slaton.
"They're freshmen," Blue said. "We've just got to introduce them to how we play in the SEC."
Based on Monday night's performance, West Virginia may petition to join the SEC.

Monday April 22, 2013 MYT 4:22:57 PM
THE atmosphere was highly-charged when thousands of revellers turned up to usher in 2013 at various popular spots in Penang.
Over at the Esplanade, the rain did not dampen the spirits of those
who wanted to catch local acts such as Amy Search as well as Azlan
and The Typewriter performing
during the PG2013 Eighth Penang Golden New Year's Eve Countdown Celebration.
The highlight of the countdown was the three-minute fireworks
display that captivated the audience.
Among those who attended the celebration was engineer Chin Peng Siew, 25, who was encouraged by his friends to turn up at the Esplanade.
"I do not regret my decision as I got to watch the performances by Alexis Gan and Amy Search," he said.
Earlier the crowd had warmed up for the countdown celebration by taking part in the Penang Golden Futsal Tournament and Golden K-Pop Dance Challenge.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng also led a host of state executive council members to the stage to usher in the New Year.
To herald the start of 2013, the night sky in Tanjung Tokong's Straits Quay was lit with fireworks
launched about 100m from the shoreline of the harbour and witnessed by some 10,000 spectators.
Straits Quay senior manager Amy Lee said the fireworks display cost them more than RM100,000 and lasted for six minutes.
Over at Penang Times Square, Taiwanese artistes rocked the stage to entertain more than 2,000 shoppers and revellers.
The highlight of the celebration there was none other than the performance of Tony Sun, a member of the famous Taiwanese 5566 boyband.
Sun was later joined by several state executive council members, Ivory Properties Bhd executive director Datuk Ooi Chin Loo and Penang Times Square general manager C.C. Yeap on stage to usher in the New Year.
At the stroke of midnight, a fireworks display illuminated the night sky with Komtar forming an impressive backdrop.
Earlier, Taiwanese superstars Chase Chang and Jackson Cheng performed with musical bands Mars & Coara and Xiau Yu Zhou (Little Space).
Having rocked the night away to live music and dance performances, the crowd at the Gurney Plaza's New Year's Eve Countdown Party, re-leased a sea of balloons at the stroke of midnight with a shower of bright confetti raining down on them.
Malaysian Idol winner Jaclyn Victor, who belted out a medley of tunes, was joined by thousands of revellers with a rousing chorus of cheers.
There was a Super Star Look-Alike parade, with several models dolled up in the guises of Marilyn Monroe, Blair Waldorf and Audrey Hepburn.
Michael Jackson was also present in spirit, as impersonators mimicked the pop icon's signature moves to win goodies.
Lucky revellers took home prizes like a new TV set, iPhone 5, Swarovski crystal-studded watches, G Hotel room stay and product vouchers in the New Year's Eve Lucky Draw.
At Queensbay Mall, cheers erupted when Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Pitbull and Rihanna impersonators performed the artistes' popular hits.
Over at Auto City in Juru, Singaporean artiste and comedian Mark Lee kept the audience in stitches with his witty lines.
There were also a K-Pop and street dance challenge as well as performances by Akademi Fantasia Season 9 first runner-up Lena, artistes Suanne, Ruffmeckz, Melvin, Chriz and Mckishz.
At the Malaysian Music Countdown Show at the Han Chiang High School, Astro personalities and a fireworks show kept the audience entertained for the countdown.

In a small, early clinical trial, researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center have found that combining eight ounces of grapefruit juice with the drug rapamycin can increase drug levels, allowing lower doses of the drug to be given. They also showed that the combination can be effective in treating various types of cancer.
For two decades, pharmacists have pasted DO-NOT-TAKE-WITH-GRAPEFRUIT-JUICE stickers on various pill bottles because it can interfere with the enzymes that break down and eliminate certain drugs. This interference makes the drugs more potent. In data presented at the AACR 100th Annual Meeting 2009, the Chicago researchers examine ways to exploit this fruit's medication-altering properties.
"Grapefruit juice can increase blood levels of certain drugs three to five times," said study director Ezra Cohen, MD, a cancer specialist at the University of Chicago Medical Center. "This has always been considered a hazard. We wanted to see if, and how much, it could amplify the availability, and perhaps the efficacy of rapamycin, a drug with promise for cancer treatment."
This trial was designed to test "whether we could use this to boost rapamycin's bioavailability to the patient's advantage, to determine how much the juice altered drug levels, and to assess its impact on anti-cancer activity and side effects," he said.
The study followed 28 patients with advanced solid tumors, for which there is no effective treatment. The dose of the drug increased with each group of five patients, from 15 milligrams up to 35. Patients took the drug by mouth, as a liquid, once a week.
Beginning in week two, they washed it down with a glass of grapefruit juice (Citius paradisi), taken immediately after the rapamycin and then once a day for the rest of the week.
Twenty-five participants remained in the study long enough to be evaluated. Seven of those 25 (28%) had stable disease, with little or

Klein, who's already set new precedents for male nudity in fashion mags with raunchy spreads featuring Brad Pitt (in W) and Mark Vanderloo (Arena Homme Plus), flirts with softcore porn here.

Twin Cities quasi-celebrity Kieran Folliard grabbed headlines this week by suing the owners of Jameson Irish Whiskey, Pernod Ricard, for trademark infringement. Folliard is well known in the Twin Cities for founding a chain of pubs, including Cooper, Kieran's Irish Pub, The Liffey, and The Local. Of these, The Local serves a locally well-known drink called The Big Ginger®, which consists of whiskey and ginger ale served over ice with wedges of lemon and lime. The Local has traditionally served The Big Ginger with Jameson, and has done so in such quantities that for five years (FY 2006 – 2011), it poured more Jameson than any other establishment in the world. (Think about that for a minute. Not a pub in Ireland, not Boston, not New York, not Chicago, but Minneapolis.) Evidently we are a thirsty bunch here in Minneapolis.
Well, the friendship may be over. Folliard has moved on to be the proprietor of his own brand of whiskey, 2 Gingers, and consequently has divested himself of pub ownership. The Local is now making The Big Ginger with 2 Gingers whiskey and not Jameson. Jameson allegedly offered to buy THE BIG GINGER trademark in 2009, which Folliard's companies declined. Fast forward to last week, when a distributor evidently spotted table tents at another local establishment (local, not Local) promoting a BIG JAMESON GINGER. Folliard has moved quickly, filing a suit this week and moving for a temporary restraining order. A hearing date has not yet been set.

BUENA PARK – The first group of aid workers from Buena Park-based Giving Children Hope is back stateside after distributing medical supplies in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
A second group departed for Haiti on Jan. 27 and is still working there.
Giving Children Hope, a faith-based nonprofit that works to alleviate poverty, especially where children are concerned. The organization has sent more than 25 tons of medical and other supplies to Haiti since last month's earthquake.
In late January, Jenise Steverding, the program director for Giving Children Hope, travelled with a small contingent from the organization to Haiti. There, they distributed medical supplies at a massive refugee camp near the city of Carrefour, south of the capital city of Port-au-Prince, and closer to the earthquake's epicenter.
They couldn't wait to get started, but their flight arrived at night. They had to spend the night at the airport at Port-au-Prince airport because aftershock-wary Haitians tend to sleep in city streets for fear of building collapse, making the roads impassible.
Then came the daylight, and the sight of crumbled buildings and the people wearing the same clothes they did the day of the earthquake.
"Everywhere you look, it's like a bomb went off. There were challenges logistically, and with communication," Steverding said. "This line of work is challenging, particularly in a place that didn't have much infrastructure to begin with."
The group set up a makeshift clinic in an open-air church adjacent to a refugee camp crammed with 17,000 people.
"There's a great need for everything in the community," Steverding said, and unlike areas of the capital, "there was very little of anyone in that area. Very little aid, no military presence."
That community has lost 482 people since the earthquake due to the lack of medical care and food.
"There were some difficult moments seeing the need, and the hunger people had. For some of these people, it was the first time they've been treated since the earthquake," Steverding said.
At night, there were gunshots.
"People are getting pretty desperate," Steverding said.
There was one man, in his early 20s, who carried in a woman. The woman was eerily still, and doctors determined she had already died when he brought her in.
The woman, Steverding said, was the man's wife. They had been married for one month.

Int'L Agencies Urges Reducing Food Waste
Int'l agencies urges reducing food waste
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — Three international agencies said on Thursday that the whole world must reduce food waste by half by 2015 to meet the challenge of water and food shortage.
This call was made by UN Food and Agricultural Organization ( FAO), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) during World Water Week, currently taking place in Stockholm.
Tremendous quantities of food are discarded in processing, transport, supermarkets and people's kitchens, the agencies said in a joint report "Saving Water: From Field to Fork — Curbing Losses and Wastage in the Food Chain."
In poorer countries, a majority of uneaten food is lost before it has a chance to be consumed. In richer countries, production is more efficient but waste is greater. In the United States, for instance, as much as 30 percent of food, worth some 48.3 billion U. S. dollars, is thrown away. "That's like leaving the tap running and pouring 40 trillion liters of water into the garbage can."
The agencies said policy makers, industry, universities and society should work together to reduce waste.
"Improving water productivity and reducing the quantity of food that is wasted can enable us to provide a better diet for the poor and enough food for growing populations," said Jan Lundqvist, a professor at the SIWI. "Reaching the target we propose, a 50 percent reduction of losses and wastage in the production and consumption chain, is a necessary and achievable goal."

Servos are great but unless you blow big bucks on the monitor add ons you don't get a emergency rudder function.
Have fairly fast boat with sugar scoop and midline swim steps. So for me any of the servos are not a great choice. So been looking at the hydrovane. Think for less money in the end get a lot more versatility.
?Do you have an AP. If so have you thought about just getting a spare ram and rudder indicator which in the end may be cheaper and also give you steering in light air, motoring and DDW. I am thinking of going that way and making a home made emergency tiller.
All good points. If I were installing a vane from scratch (my Aries was already on the boat) I would look long and hard at the auxiliary rudder style vanes. I've never used one, but the idea of having a backup rudder is attractive. Because they do all the work my understanding is their installation is more challenging. The benefit of the servos are they use the boat's rudder to steer, so they don't have to be as hefty.
Btw, my boat uses a tiller, not a wheel. The lines are therefore far aft and out of the way. I've sailed with a wheel using a Monitor vane. Worked fine, but the lines were more of a pita than with my boat.

It's mission is much like that of Noah's Ark, save all life on the planet so that it can start anew. It was made when Marduk was to once again wipe out the human race. The Great Ark is incredible large. On board it has it's own zoo and ocean to contain the animals of Earth. It is also designed to make the children selected by the Silver Surfer content with their new lives and to forget their lives on Earth. The Great Ark is controlled by a form of artificial intelligence and navigated by the Silver Surfer. When Gabe Acheron took control of the ship, it crash landed in the Pacific Ocean. Everyone on board was killed, but this reality was erased by Ellie Waters. Essentially, it was made that Marduk never came so the Great Ark never needed to exist.

Course Home Page
Welcome to MATSE 081: Materials in Today's World. Please take some time to review the Course Syllabus to become familiar with the instructor, assignments, and course schedule.
Paul R. Howell, Professor of Metallurgy
Learning Environment
This Web site provides the primary instructional materials for the course. The Resources menu at left links to important supporting materials, while the Course Outline menu links to the course lessons. ANGEL, Penn State's course management system, is used to support the delivery of this course, as well, as it provides the primary communications, calendaring, and submission tools for the course.
Watch Dr. Howell's introduction to MATSE 081
Watch a movie that provides an overview of this Web site as well as ANGEL
Course Structure
The course is available in two formats:
- Hybrid Format: Uses a face-to-face class format, along with supplemental Web material
- Web-Only Format: All instruction is delivered on the Web
We are surrounded by materials everywhere: at home, at work, on vacation, at the doctor's clinic, the grocery store, the health club, at school — it never ends. We are immersed in a world of materials, and they contribute significantly to the standard of living that we are familiar with.
This course takes students on a historical, scientific, and cultural exploration through the world of materials — from the cosmos to the atom, from Asimov to Pauling, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern day Pennsylvania, and from early man's primitive stone tools to the complex materials that help us build, communicate, travel, work, and live in the 21st century.
The student course experience will be anchored by Earth, Air, Fire & Water: Elements of Materials Science, Dr. Howell's recently completed text written specifically for students being introduced to the world of materials science and engineering. Complementing the text will be a broad array of resources made available to students through this Website. Weekly quizzes and surveys will serve their traditional purposes — to help guide students through the material and assess the course objectives — but also to serve as a means for drawing attention to important ideas, misconceptions, and concepts within the weekly conversations and discussions. Students in MATSE 081 will also spend the semester creating an electronic portfolio in which they'll report regularly on their knowledge of and experiences with some particular material or class of materials that is of special interest to them. Through these combined experiences, MATSE 081 will meet the goals established for the Natural Sciences General Education knowledge domain (GN).
Learning on the Web
The use of the World Wide Web permits us to teach beyond the traditional borders of the classroom and to a wider and more diverse audience. The lack of scheduled meeting times translates into opportunity for those who are struggling with scheduling issues or who are working students, adult learners, or taking classes from a geographically remote location. Successful students will commit regular hours and energy to the course, manage and allocate their time wisely, attend to weekly assignments and deadlines, and participate fully in the course activities and experiences that are group or team-based. Success in these areas translates directly into success in the course and, more importantly, into a richer, more enjoyable online experience. The "engine" that helps us deliver a complete online learning experience to students is ANGEL, Penn State's own course management system, which is available to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although most course content is located on this Web page, as a part of the Open Educational Resource (OER) Initiative all "for credit" material is located on ANGEL.
MATSE 081 will continue to test the Dutton Institute's working hypothesis regarding general education courses: "Student engagement" — defined as a quantity and quality of time spent in learning tasks and activities — is directly and positively correlated with student satisfaction, participation, and performance, and consequently, is the single-best indicator of student success and satisfaction in academic course work.
As such, MATSE 081 was the first e-Education course to benefit from a newly formed collaboration between the Dutton Institute and the Schreyer Institute for Innovation in Learning, a partnership designed to improve the strategies and methodologies used to assess and evaluate courses and their effectiveness. MATSE 081 recently moved into an ANGEL quizzing environment, allowing for full, instant, and automated feedback available to the students. This was designed not only to greatly improve the processes of creating, delivering, and documenting online tests for instructors, but also to improve the student test-taking experience through greater convenience, richer quizzing features, and improved feedback, scoring, and reporting mechanisms.
Please Note: Courseware offered through OER is not eligible for credit toward any course, degree, or certificate offered by The Pennsylvania State University. This site does not provide access to the quizzing tools, assignment dropboxes, communication tools, etc. Although this Webspace will provide complete content for this course, access to graded materials will only be offered to students who are registered for the course and in the ANGEL course management system. If you are interested in enrolling in this course or learning more about Penn State's enrollment process, please see http://admissions.psu.edu.

NBA: Noah powers Bulls past Sixers
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania – Joakim Noah scored 21 points Wednesday, as the undermanned Chicago Bulls defeated the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 96-89.
Luol Deng had 19 points and 12 rebounds for Chicago, who recorded their fourth win in five National Basketball Association games.
Marco Belinelli (16) and Nate Robinson (14) also reached double figures as Chicago outscored Philadelphia 17-9 over the final five minutes.
Philadelphia lost the second in the last three games, despite 26-points and nine-assists from Jrue Holiday and 16 points and eight rebounds from Evan Turner.
Thaddeus Young added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Sixers, who were done in by poor three-point and foul shooting. The 76ers went just two-of-14 from long distance and made just five of 11 free-throw attempts.
It was a quick turnaround for the Bulls who lost at home to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.
Chicago is without its starting backcourt of Derrick Rose and Richard Hamilton, who suffered a foot injury and could be out up to two more weeks.
Former league MVP Rose is working out but has yet to start practicing with the team after undergoing major surgery on his left knee.
The Sixers have injury problems of their own. Center Andrew Bynum has yet to play a game this season because of problems in both knees.
The Bulls have now won four in a row against the Sixers, including another victory earlier in December.

You know the photos…the ones you keep putting off scrapbooking. The ones that have a great memory attached but are lousy pictures. The ones where you really don't remember what was happening in them. The single photo of your kid pulling a wagon at age 2…or was it 3? The special photos you are "saving" for the perfect page. The thoughts and moments you want to capture but you do not even have a picture to go with them. The time is now and our mantra is simple: Just get it on the page! Together with her students, Kelli will create a system, ideas, and journaling prompts for getting these moments safely on a page.
Beyond the Box: Creative ways to add journaling to your pages
"Beyond the Box" is a fresh approach to journaling! We will focus on journaling design with a purpose. Going beyond the typical journaling block, this class helps you think "outside of the box" and create dynamic journaling design elements that support the look and feel of your layouts. We will create three layouts in which the journaling becomes a primary focal point of the page. Helpful hints and step-by-step instructions are included for each project. Additional ideas for journaling design are also included in the full color, instructional PDF to help eliminate your journaling block and spark your creativity!
All I Really Need to Know About Journaling I Learned in First Grade
Former elementary school teacher Monica Bradford says, "All I really need to know about how to live and what to journal and how to write I learned in first grade. Meaningful pages are not at the top of the magazine mountain, but there in the picture pile on my scrap table.
These are the things I learned:
All I need is an idea and a #2 pencil to begin
Story is more important than perfect grammar
A good book can be a great example
Sentence starters are for everyone
If first graders can do this…so can I."
Join Monica as she shares these tips and more as she helps you simplify your journaling.
The Simple Things: A Creative Journal
Heidi says, "Seeking balance in my crazy life feels like the impossible! But I have learned a few things along the way that seem to help, and bring peace and clarity amid all the storms and chasms! For me, it's taking time to notice, appreciate and enjoy the simple things and little miracles that make each day wonderful and something to celebrate."
In this class we will take the time to create a little book for capturing those perfect little things that make everything else worth it. Heidi will be teaching some of her very favorite stenciling/misting/"pretty stuff" techniques that will allow you to make your album unique to you and simply beautiful! But that's not all… she's also going to supply you with 30 days of prompts and reflections to add to your book, along with little pictures and reminders of the good stuff. Get ready to see her NEW Color Shine sprays and Mixed Company collection in action!
$12.95 for this video class.
Do You Hear What I Hear? Including Your Family's Perspectives in Your Pocket Spreads
Most scrapbookers realize that pretty soon, their scrapbooks become a reflection of their perspective on their life. And that's great! But what about those other special people who inhabit your world? Is it possible to include more "voices" in your pocket pages? As Marcy Penner can attest, YES! Marcy will create a weekly spread in her Project Life album with a focus on adding other voices and perspectives. You'll learn specific tips and ideas for including family members in your process, as well as where to find content that will add additional perspectives to your pages. After "Do You Hear What I Hear? Including Your Family's Perspectives in Your Pocket Spreads," you'll be hearing voices – in a good way! Get this one-hour video class for only
$12.95 $9 for a limited time!
Outside the Lines: Creative Approaches to Adding Journaling to Your Pocket Pages
Do photos come easier than words for you? You're not alone! As an experienced pocket page veteran, Stephanie Bryan knows that you can get into ruts, making your whole project feel like a trip to the dentist rather than the joy it can (and should!) be. Over the past years, she's discovered ways to re-invigorate her journaling by including the stories in unique and fun ways. She'll be sharing these techniques with you in "Outside the Lines: Creative Approaches to Adding Journaling to Your Pocket Pages." Get this one-hour video class for only
