Alpha - Mini-review (No spoilers)
The new KDF mission Alpha is out on Tribble. It is AWESOME.
First off you zone into the Orinth System in Psi Veloum. The map is outstanding. The first word out of my mouth was "whoa!". The new Defera space maps were breath taking when I first saw them. Some of the maps reminded me of space artwork in books I'd have that does from the 70s. The Orinth System space map us another map in that realm. For me, it's absolutely breath taking.
The space mission of the mission sets the stage for the rest of the mission. OK a tiny little spoiler, you beam down into a jungle. The ground map is outstanding as well. I really felt as if I was in a jungle. The environment work is incredible, While running around on the map, I actually felt lost most of the time.I did spent some time backtracking because I though I was moving in a circle a times.
The game play of the mission is very much Klingon. you may choice to walk the path of honor, or not. There are some cut scenes and some voice overs as well. And there are many surprises and encounters which are very much inline for the faction that you will be facing. There is enough combat to keep the most everyone satisfies. There are career specific sub-goals and accolades in the mission. The there is a variation of a mini-game we've encounter before with a suitable accolade. Or you may choice to solve the problem in a very Klingon manner.
Overall it not an overly long mission, with some fun game play, some nice and unique rewards available for the KDF. This mission is a minimum level of 34. So it'sis an excellent excuse to dust off your KDF character and get them leveled up to enjoy this mission.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great customer service
The invitations are beautiful and exactly how I envisioned them. I asked for a personalized monogram to be added to the invitation in specific colors. Someone contacted me the next day after submitting the order to instruct me how to upload my picture and sent me the proof within the next 2 hours. The customer service was great! I received my invitations very quickly after my order date. I would highly recommend Magnet Street. Thank you very much!
nice, simple tags
These are really pretty, but they are a little thinner than I was hoping. I think they will work great with my favors though, and loved being able to match them to my day of suite. It would be nice if there were size options or sticker back options but I can make these work!
Super Impressed!
I was super impressed when I received the invitations! They came in a beautiful box that I can use for many projects in the future. The quality of the products was amazing, even the envelopes are of a very high quality! The customization and design process was easy and the invitations came out even better than they looked online. I had a hard time finding an invitation that met exactly what I had visioned but with the customization that MagnetStreet allows you to do, my vision came true. Definitely will be recommending MagnetStreet to everyone I know! They have the best prices, best choices, and best customization to make everything uniquely yours! Their customer service is also exceptional!
Perfect Design!
I absolutely love how these programs came out! They were the perfect design for our wedding theme, and they look so professionally made! I love that there were color options (it could be any color I wanted, so I found the perfect match to my wedding colors), and am so thankful that my special requests we able to be accommodated (I didn't want the anchor and they were able to remove it). The program is now one of my favorite parts of the wedding!
Excellent quality.
My daughter and I were very happy with the quality of the cards. The customer service department were so very helpful and knowledgable. I would highly recommend these cards for all my family and friends. You will not be disappointed.

The tap community is now so international, in fact, that many of its foreign-born members hardly seem foreign anymore. The "Tap All-Stars" event on July 12 will feature French hoofer Roxane Butterfly and Austrian-born Max Pollak, two dancers whose improvisational skills give them as much right as anyone to the mantle of their mentor, Boston-based Jimmy Slyde. Pollak, who also studied with Lyons in Germany, and whose accentless English matches his accurately idiomatic dancing, takes the mixing of cultures a step farther. A student of Cuban music, he's trained himself to tap within the complex, interlocking rhythms of traditional rumba and often travels to Cuba carrying hundreds of donated tap shoes, in order to teach as many eager students as he can.
The "Tap City" gala planned for July 11 offers not only the star power of Hines and Glover and the consummate mastery of veterans Slyde and Prince Spenser, but also Sarah Petronio, who's American when in Paris, where she has taught for 20 years, but here is thought of as French. Also performing will be Tapage, a French-Japanese duo who mix their cultural heritage with their experience in ATDO. Last year, they danced to Mexican modernist composer Revueltas's Sensemayá, an exercise that could have been pretentious but looked stunning, bringing tap as close as it's ever come to the sublime.
Tap's globalization is an inevitable consequence of passing the genre from person to person. "Make it your own" is the mantra. The July 13 performance, "Tap Masters/Tap Mentors," honors this tradition, with dancers paying homage to their teachers. Last year's "Masters/Mentors" contained the festival's most touching moments: Marshall Davis broke into an unannounced solo in honor of the late Steve Condos, making a flurry of accents sound something like inconsolable grief. Ted Levy, swinging harder than one would think possible, danced for Buster Brown, the only master to be honored again this year. Brown, sprightly and generous to the end, died in May. But in the many tappers who will perform his "Laura" on Saturday, his dance lives. And not only in them.

This is with reference to "SEBI moots super self-regulatory organisation" (
Business Line,December 17). Whether it is the `disgorgement order' or the move to accept and recognise the offer of `super self-regulatory organisations,' SEBI's initiatives have to be complemented. The man at the helm, Mr M. Damodaran, deserves praise. India today is a thriving financial market and the psychology and the behavioural aspects of the market participants are strikingly different from those of developed economies. Actions by the regulator will have to be punitive and swift to check the general tendency to not comply with laws. Dithering can shake investor confidence.

President Barack Obama sits on the famed Rosa Parks bus at the Henry Ford Museum following an event in Dearborn, Mich., April 18, 2012. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
I know that most of you have probably already seen this photo from a couple of weeks ago, but I think it is so important and so thought provoking it is worth another look. There is not much I can say about something so extremely amazing that happened in our lifetime. Something that Democrats fight for and Republicans fight against, equality and freedom, can be easily taken for granted but is at risk of moving backwards in the wrong hands. I vote for for progress, so I vote for Democrats.
Jump on our bandwagon and follow I Vote For Democrats by clicking the orange ♥ at the top of this diary. Or better yet, write a diary about why YOU vote for Democrats and help us remind people of what is at stake.
3:53 PM PT: I have to run to my daughter's school, the science fair is tonight and she is in it. I really appreciate hearing everyone's perspective and thoughts, and will be back shortly. Thanks!

Skateboarding, Space and the City: Architecture and the Body
Bloomsbury Academic, Apr 1, 2001 - Social Science - 320 pages
Skateboarders are an increasingly common feature of the urban environment - recent estimates total 40 million world-wide. We are all aware of their often extraordinary talent and manoeuvres on the city streets. This book is the first detailed study of the urban phenomenon of skateboarding. It looks at skateboarding history from the surf-beaches of California in the 1950s, through the purpose-built skateparks of the 1970s, to the street-skating of the present day and shows how skateboarders experience and understand the city through their sport. Dismissive of authority and convention, skateboarders suggest that the city is not just a place for working and shopping but a true pleasure-ground, a place where the human body, emotions and energy can be expressed to the full.
The huge skateboarding subculture that revolves around graphically-designed clothes and boards, music, slang and moves provides a rich resource for exploring issues of gender, race, class, sexuality and the family. As the author demonstrates, street-style skateboarding, especially characteristic of recent decades, conducts a performative critique of architecture, the city and capitalism. Anyone interested in the history and sociology of sport, urban geography or architecture will find this book riveting.

Re: Depth Transducer
I don't know the answer to your question since I don't know your specific parts, but for the life of me I don't see why you would want to reuse the old sensor. From the technical perspective this is not a good way to save time and money.
If you really want to pursue this line of thought, here are the things you will need to examine and consider.
-- What transmit frequency or frequencies does the new head unit use? Can the sensor accept those frequencies? These frequencies are typically several hundred kilohertz, which is high enough that you need to take R/F effects into account (important in cabling).
-- What signal amplitude (voltage) and current does the head unit provide? Can the transduce handle it?
-- What are the sensitivity ratings of the two transducers? Are they similar? If they are not you may not see the bottom at all or could get strange, inconsistent readings from echoes.
-- What about fittings for the connecting cable? Are they they common or will you need to buy a custom cable to connect them?
-- And speaking of cables, what coax is used in the new and old system? The two cable impedance ratings will tell you the R/F impedance of the transducer and the head unit (specs that often are not listed on data sheets). Do they have the same impedance per meter rating? Impedance mismatches in the R/F realm will cause signal reflections at one end or the other (transducer or head unit, whichever doesn't match the impedance of the cable you use). R/F reflections that are bad enough will burn out the output transistors of the signal generating circuit (not to mention maybe giving strange readings).
Good luck!

3 cups
fresh spinach - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
2 cups
leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
1 cup
finely shredded cabbage
2 large
oranges, peeled and segmented
red onion, sliced in rings
2 (6 ounce) cans
1/2 teaspoon
orange zest
3 tablespoons
orange juice
2 tablespoons
balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons
olive oil
1 teaspoon
fresh chopped tarragon
This is a super crab salad, different from most mayo/sour cream based crab salads. It's sweet and tangy, with just the right amount of everything! My husband and I loved it! It does take some prep time for the greens, but not a lot. I'd suggest always using fresh lump crab meat instead of canned. Next time we plan to serve it with egg rolls or soup and a crusty French baguette or artisan bread. Sorbet completes a light summer meal.
nice and light. I used a mix of spinach and boston lettuce. I will make this again.

I found this salad bland. The flavors do not blend well. No one in my house would finish their helping. It got soggy very quickly. My bofriend ended up picking the crab out and eating it with a little cocktail sauce! We didn't eat the rest. Very dissappointing.
This was a good summer salad

Q. "I want 100 of one of the above barb fittings. How soon after I place my order can you ship 100% complete?"
A. Our inventory is great, and 98% of the time we will have the quantity you ordered in stock. If we don't have all in stock, it generally takes about 7-10 days to receive a backordered product to complete your order.
Q. "Are these fittings for potable water?"
A. The fittings marked as "lead-free" are for potable water. Fittings not designated as "lead-free" are considered low in lead content but not to the strictest codes/laws, therefore, we cannot recommend them for use with potable water.
Q. "I'm hearing a lot about lead-free these days. What does that have to do with plumbing products and how does the new lead-free legislation affect me?"
A. Basically, the laws implemented Jan. 1st, 2014 require plumbing products that come in contact with drinking water to be essentially lead free (less than 0.25% weighted average). For further information about how the law determines what is lead free, rules regarding which plumbing products must be lead free, and who these laws will affect, please visit our LEAD FREE Plumbing Information page.
Q. "How are barb fittings held in place?"
A. Typically, barb fittings are held in place with a hose clamp.
Q. "Do you need any type of adhesive for barb fittings?"
A. No, because barb fittings are designed to be pushed into the tubing or hose, and then a hose clamp is installed to complete the connection. There may be times when a lubricant, such as water, might be needed to help insert the fitting. This of course will depend on what is being run through the hose and fittings, as you wouldn't want to use a lubricant that is not compatible with what is flowing through it.
We hope that we have helped you on this page with brass barbed fittings,

Wayfair asked me to write a post on winterizing the garden and I was like, huh? I had to research how winterizing was done because where I live, that pretty much amounts to putting on a windbreaker when you go out to get the mail. Occasionally we get an inch or two of rain, causing everyone to toss their hands up in a panic and crawl the city streets at 15 mph to avoid the dangerous puddles.
After consulting quite a few books, some of which I actually own, I managed to come up with a winter plan that will (hopefully) please most New England gardeners. Just for fun, I shared what my garden books recommend southern California gardeners to prepare for winter. You can read the post here. Don't laugh.
p.s. What does Carl Larsson's painting The Skier have to do with this post? Nothing! I just love how his work exudes peace and happiness. Did you know that he had a traumatic childhood, and that much of his work reflects the desire to give his children something different? They "became the most immediate and lasting part of my life's work. For these pictures are of course a very genuine expression of my personality, of my deepest feelings, of all my limitless love for my wife and children." [source]
The William Morris Project: Pinterest
This might be one of my biggest projects yet, and I don't even have to move from my chair. I spent two hours last night cleaning up my pinterest boards. I went from 156 to 104 boards. That's a decrease of 33.33%. Not bad! I would love to get under 100 boards, but that's impossible since I haven't moved over my boards from the library account I started a couple of months ago.
Yes, I started the library account because my original account was too cluttered for me to find anything. Heaven forbid I just clean out the cluttered account! At least now I can say that I've taken steps to having a pinterest account that won't give me a nervous breakdown.
Things I'm doing to clean up my Pinterest space:
- Deleting all boards with only 1 or 2 pins
- Deleting all boards that are no longer relevant, like boards on specific books I've read
- Deleting all recipe boards that include ingredients I no longer eat, like chicken
- Deleting inspiration boards for rooms/trips/designs that are no longer relevant (I no longer need a laundry room board, for example)
- Giving all boards heading and sub-heading
- Alphabetizing all boards
PROS: permanent, strong, matte finish, rolls come in multiple sizes
CONS: may be difficult to work with (you get used to it), bubbles are difficult to remove, extremely tacky, requires trial and error, cost, availability
- PROS: price, availability, easy to apply and forgiving of mistakes, completely reposition-able, matte finish.
CONS: not permanent, may require taped ends for secure application, not as sturdy, more expensive in store unless you buy it in bulk online or through business catalogs
I'm still working on all bullet items, especially the last two. Alphabetizing boards takes forever! You have to move them around with your mouse because pinterest isn't enough of a time-suck as it is, I guess. I want to see a button that says "ALPHABETIZE BOARDS" and then be done. I'll pin that under "In My Dreams."
How to Wrap Books and Protect Your Paperbacks
Over the summer I spoke a lot about wrapping books for the library on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, here, church, the supermarket…anywhere there was an ear and a platform, basically.
It didn't occur to me that some people wouldn't know what I meant when I said I was wrapping hundreds of books. A few people thought I was setting up a blind date with a book program, one friend, who gives me way too much credit, thought I was wrapping them up for a giant "Christmas in August" book party with the students. Still other people thought I was wrapping everything in brown paper like regular textbooks.
In reality, I was wrapping new paperbacks with laminate so they last longer. I mentioned that in a comment somewhere (the problem with whining in so many venues), and then moved on to complain about something that was more inclusive and allowed everyone to coddle me like a baby koala bear with a broken paw.
Only yesterday did it occur to me that wrapping books with laminate is someone everyone should try, especially if you have little ones. The books I could have saved from Nico's gummy mouth!
Here is how I taught myself to do it last year, when one too many Goosebumps books crumbled into a fine dust in my hands. There may be other, better tutorials out there, but this is my method.
Lots of pictures with this one! Let's get started.
Grab a book you want to wrap. It's okay if it looks tattered beyond repair! The laminate won't make it look new, but it will keep it from breaking down more and it will look slightly more presentable. In this case, I'm wrapping a book I read at the pool all summer (Main Street Vegan by Victoria Moran). It has water damage and a minimally frayed cover.
The first thing you will need is book laminate. For the library, I use Demco CircExtender Laminate. It creates a permanent bond 6-24 hours after application.
This is the laminate I prefer, but I've wrapped enough books that I can do it in my sleep. I rarely have to reposition a book once I set it on the laminate, and that's key with this brand. They say you can reposition it, but they are liars. I can only find this laminate online, so that's an issue.
While I was still figuring out my technique, I used clear Contact paper, which is far more user friendly and available in small rolls at Staples and Target.
Cut out the laminate.
Most chapter books will require between 12″-14″ of wrap (12-14 squares). You want an inch or more of laminate all around your book.
I remove all the paper backing and place the book on top, but in the beginning I removed only half of it, like you see in the pictures. I removed the paper as I went, almost like applying a band-aid.
Roll Book Onto Laminate
This is the best way I can explain it, but I had Mikey take a million pictures of the process for reference. Keeping in mind your 1″ border, you place the edge of the book down onto the laminate and then roll the rest of the book on. You do this to avoid air bubbles. If you place the book down flat, air bubbles are guaranteed. Once I roll on the book, I put pressure on it and smooth it out like you would a tablecloth. I have no idea if this prevents air bubbles, but it's habit now.
Note that I have removed only 1/2 of the paper backing.
At this point, before I move on to the next step, I flip the book over once and check for air bubbles. I smooth out those I see, just like I would if applying wallpaper.
Apply Laminate to Back
Remove the rest of the paper backing (if you haven't already), flip the book over, and firmly tug the laminate over the spine of the book. Then beginning smoothing the laminate onto the backside of the book, almost like a reverse of the "roll" step above. Watch for air bubbles.
Smooth down laminate.
Using a bone folder, squeegee, credit card, ruler, etc., smooth out the laminate. In some cases, you'll be smoothing out air bubbles. In this case, I was just making sure the laminate had a nice, strong bond to the book.
Cut the corners off the laminate, including those by the spine. This is the part some people find confusing. Even at the spine, you are cutting at an angle to create mitered corners. You can use straight cuts, but it will make wrapping the book harder. Also, your end product won't look as nice.
Wrap laminate around book.
Hopefully these last two pictures show why mitered corners will make your life easier as you wrap the interior of the book with laminate. Tug firmly so that the laminate is flush with the edges of the cover, then smooth onto book.
That's it! Done! I should have done this before I read it for two months at swim practice, but there you go.
The William Morris Project: 2014 | Revisiting School Work Storage
I survived my first day of school as a teachers aide! I came home exhausted but aware of the fact that I have to be more organized at home than I have ever been if I want to juggle everything successfully. To that end, I decided yesterday I was going to work on how I store homework and classwork throughout the year.
My proven method worked until last year. Having both boys in elementary school meant a dramatic increase in paper, and it was no longer easy to pull out what I needed when discrepancies arose. There was too much stuff, and I was getting bad about discarding the items that weren't graded. In Nico's case, it seemed like everything had a grade.
[I keep all graded assignments, classwork, and tests until the final report card for that trimester. This has been fabulous for those times where grades were entered incorrectly or assignments were marked missing. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, I'm glad to have the backup I need before I question the boys or the teacher.]
This year I am straight-up copying my friend Susan. She makes Martha Stewart look disorganized, so when she says a system works for her, I feel pretty confident in appropriating it as my own and doing no further research.
This is what she does.
I couldn't find two accordion files–Susan uses the big ones with the handles–so I bought two Martha Stewart accordions on clearance. I figured if the smaller size doesn't work, paying rock bottom for the files wouldn't hurt as much. And I can always re-purpose them, too.
Here is how I set up Mikey's accordion. Because these accordions are smaller, I doubled up every month except for the beginning and the end of the school year. Nico's doesn't have the student handbook file since only one of those goes home, so I don't know how, or if, I'm going to use the last pocket.
I'll give an update in a few months on how they are working for us.
The Ultimate Post on Day Planners (and Hyperbole)
I have a couple of reasons for this post. First, can you see images? Please let me know if the problem has been resolved for you. Thank you for putting up with the inconvenience, too.
Second, day planners! Specifically, paper ones. I can't handle the new calendar in iOS 7. Appointments disappear or get moved to other days, I'm not getting my alerts, and the wheel date selector makes scheduling difficult for people with man-hands. I already dislike relying on electronic devices and am 1 of 5 people who still uses a paper address book. Also, and here another instance where computer-loving folks will toss their hands up in shock and think I'm really, really dumb: I keep all my passwords in a paper logbook.
That's right! All my passwords in a paper logbook, not in a cloud or in an "impossible to access by hackers" security site online. When people found out about this on Instagram (I shared a picture of my logbook) there was an outcry of warnings and recommendations for online password keepers. I appreciate the concern and welcome the constructive feedback. Here are my thoughts on that: I'm a middle class, unknown woman from suburbia. I doubt I'm the mark of an Ocean's Eleven team of hackers intent on stuffing their coffers with millions. And, God forbid, should a couple of random burglars enter my house when I'm not at home, they won't ransack the place looking for the internet password logbook I may or may not have. "Put down the TV and jewelry box, Bob. Time is of the essence, so let's first figure out if she bought one of those cute password logbooks I saw at Target."
When it comes to online security, I don't believe there is a safe way to protect myself, with the exception of avoiding all online activity and paying for everything in cash. Even then, security is a myth. Identity exposure is the reality of living in a world increasingly dependent upon digital communication, especially if corporations like Target can get hacked twice in less than 6 months. I'm at risk whether I store my passwords in a book or online because it's the act of necessitating a password that puts me at risk. Online or paper, we're all screwed in the end because if someone wants our information, they'll get it. Maybe I'm just a pessimist.
Back to day planners. Anything computer/electronic/online is not an option for me. I know many of you use Google Docs/Calendar or have had great luck with ABC online planner, and that's great! It's not you, it's me. Paper all the way.
The problem I have is that finding the perfect planner is like having fun at a timeshare presentation. It's possible, it's just not likely.
I've spent an obscene amount of time researching planners. It's embarrassing. So embarrassing that the Mister turned to me last night and said, "The amount of time you have spent researching day planners is embarrassing."
I've narrowed down the options and will now crowd-source you for opinions or planners I may have missed.
The ARC Planner by Staples
The Arc Planner by Staples is a letter-sized planner with a neoprene cover. The calendars and paper accessories come separately, allowing for customization. There are plenty of free printables and customizing tips on Pinterest. Arc refills are around $5.00. My concerns: the low price of the planner disappears once you factor in the price of the refills. The 6-ring layout makes it difficult to customize your own refills without a special punch, which makes using the Arc-made refills an easier option. That's intentional, I'm sure.
The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley
The Simplified Planner by Emily Ley is clean and simple. The available patterns are limited, but I like them, aside from the pink key-pattern. The size is 9×10. The daily schedules are from 7am-7pm in half-hour increments, which is a must for me since I need the planner to keep track of my library schedule, doctor appointments, swim team, music, choir, and the Mister's travel schedule. An appointment calendar isn't necessary for many people, but it is for me. Each page has a to-do list, a spot for notes, and a spot for dinner plans. There is plenty of white space and the layout isn't cluttered. This planner would be perfect for me except for the calendar year organization. I absolutely need a planner with an academic calendar.
Do it All Planner by Orange Circle Studio
This planner is by Orange Circle Studio, but it represents that category of day planners you can find in stationery stores or big box stores. These planners are small, sturdy, and simple. The price is reasonable. Rarely are the days organized in 30 minute increments, but in the case of the Do it All Planner, there is enough room for multiple appointments in one day. Still, I need the time increments to avoid double booking myself. There is no real way to customize the planner or refill pages, which means you're buying something new every year. Because the price is low, that's okay.
The Life Planner by Erin Condren
If you are a blogger or read blogs, you might have heard of this planner. Erin Condren is the chevrons of day planners. They life planners are colorful, full of pattern, come with 300 bells and whistles, and can be customized to within an inch of your life. There are pockets and stickers and rulers and coil clips and gift labels, and contact pages, and blank pages, and lined pages, and stationery pages, and a little monkey that follows you around each day playing a music box to alert you of your appointments.
The number of reviews and youtube customization videos devoted to this planner is overwhelming. In fact, everything about this planner is overwhelming. It's too much for me. Too much color, too much pattern, too girly, too much everything. Even the commercials are too much.
Is it a planner? Is it a scrapbook? I don't have time to make Easter Egg shapes out of washi tape, that much I can tell you. I don't do brunch with girlfriends. The daily schedule is morning, day, evening–no 30 minute increments. I spent an hour looking at patterns and couldn't find one I truly liked. I'm pretty sure this planner isn't for me.
2014-2015 Plum Paper Designs Planner
The Plum Paper Designs Planner is another popular planner among bloggers. It's not an Erin Condren, but it's slowly but surely capturing market share. There are a lot of "Why I ditched my Erin Condren for Plum Paper" videos out there. The Plum Paper planner is cheaper, so that's good. The planner is 7.5×9 with a plastic cover and spiral binding. The pages are semi-customizable, which means I can organize my days in increments. Best of all, I decide the month I want to start my calendar. No waste, no juggling another calendar until January. This is a huge selling feature for me! There are some bells and whistles, but not so many that I'm overwhelmed or feeling like I'm wasting time and paper.
I don't like most of the patterns, so that's too bad. I also don't like the frosted plastic cover that protects the patterned cover underneath. That makes me think the patterned cover isn't durable. I'm not confident in the spiral binding.
Out of all of the planners I've looked at, the Plum Paper is the one I will most likely buy. We'll see. I still have a couple more weeks to make a last-minute decision.
OK, so. Anyone else out there using a paper planner, or am I a lone ship at sea?

Louise Bourgeois, 98, Dies
Monday, May 31, 2010
Artist Louise Bourgeois, whose sculptures exploring women's deepest feelings on birth, sexuality and death were highly influential on younger artists, died Monday, her studio's managing director said. She was 98.
Bourgeois had continued creating artwork - her latest pieces were finished just last week - before suffering a heart attack Saturday night, said the studio director, Wendy Williams. The artist died at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, where she lived.
Working in a wide variety of materials, she tackled themes relating to male and female bodies and emotions of anger, betrayal, even murder. Her work reflected influences of surrealism, primitivism and the early modernist sculptors such as Alberto Giacometti and Constantin Brancusi.
"I really want to worry people, to bother people," she told The Washington Post in 1984. "They say they are bothered by the double genitalia in my new work. Well, I have been bothered by it my whole life. I once said to my children, `It's only physiological, you know, the sex drive.' That was a lie. It's much more than that."
Bourgeois' work was almost unknown to the wider art world until she was 70, when New York's Museum of Modern Art presented a solo show of her career in 1982. "This is not a show that is easy to digest," New York Times critic Grace Glueck wrote. "The reward is an intense encounter with an artist who explores her psyche at considerable risk."

Just Beautiful!!
About the Owner
Friends brought me to this part of Costa Rica in 2003 and I fell in love with the friendly community of Cocles. From the first night listening to the frogs, birds and monkeys, I was hooked and decided I had to find a way to return.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Casa Cacao is a beautiful place...We truly enjoyed the home's design, comfort and functionality. Your furnishings, linens and amenities in general were ideal following a 3 week road trip crisscrossing Costa Rica. The laundry duo are to die for...would have liked to bring them home with us. The TV/satellite/WiFi are spectacular...especially loved the music channels.
Our ten day stay in Cocles enhanced our love for the area's beaches, flora and fauna, restaurants and overall friendly atmosphere. Casa Cacao provided an oasis after each day of discovery. Even the weather was great with limited rainfall and great surf. We were astounded at the wide selection at the 'Super Cocles' market, a most convenient neighborhood asset.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
Would have been perfect, but the house was really missing some of the basics - garbage bags, hand soap in the bathroom, laundry soap etc. We spent a lot of time trying to track down Leo with no luck, and didnt have a phone so couldnt call. Otherwise, a really wonderful stay.
Just Beautiful!!

Owensboro setting stage for convention duel with Evansville
OWENSBORO, Ky. - Evansville isn't the only area community looking to re-enter the convention business after the demise of a prominent downtown hotel.
Owensboro's signature riverfront property was an Executive Inn, too. It was not built for convention use, but over the years it morphed into a well-known meeting and entertainment venue. It fell into disrepair and was imploded in 2009. Gatherings that once regularly visited Owensboro moved to Western Kentucky cities such as Bowling Green and Paducah.
But Mayor Ron Payne wants to do more than bring in-state groups back. He's targeting regional and national business, as well, using the allure of a sparkling new riverfront area and a long-time local favorite, bluegrass music.
"We have talked for years about something to brand this city with, and it was here all along — bluegrass," Payne said.
The rebirth of Owensboro's riverfront includes numerous ongoing projects, the largest of which is a $48-million convention center ($36 million in construction and $12 million in other costs).
It will feature a tilted glass facade facing downtown, nearly 45,000 square feet of divisible ballroom space, a rear 15,000-square-foot patio on the Ohio River which can be used for receptions, relaxation or performances, and a river overlook from the second floor.
"We can do pretty much any nice-sized show," said Dean Dennis, vice president of Global Spectrum, which will promote manage the convention center.
Much-debated insurance tax increases in 2009 brought revenue for the convention center; Smothers Park, a expansive children's play park and recreation area on the riverfront; and surrounding infrastructure at both sites.
The Owensboro City Commission boosted its tax rate on insurance premiums from 4 percent to 8 percent, while the Daviess County Fiscal Court grew its rate from 4.9 percent to 8.9 percent.
Payne said projects could not have happened without that local government action. Revenue from the tax increases are to pay off bonds.
"It got a lot of blowback, concern, criticism," Payne said of the tax increase. "It's remarkable today how much that has dissipated once they saw Smothers Park and all the other buildings going up. There's an excitement in this community we haven't seen in forever."
Local taxpayers, however, are not paying any bills for two hotels near the convention center. A 150-room Hampton Inn & Suites is being financed by local developer Malcolm Bryant. A planned Holiday Inn with what Payne called "a comparable amount" of rooms is not yet under construction; local developers are Matt Hayden and Jack Wells. Both hotels are to include restaurants.
The Hampton Inn and Suites and convention center are scheduled for completion in January or February. Meeting that deadline is vital, city officials say, because they have advance bookings for $1.3 million in convention business.
There's more: A former state government office building on Second Street is being remade into the International Bluegrass Music Center — a facility that city officials say will attract performances as well as fans. Owensboro city government has pledged $3 million in bonded funding if $7 million can be raised privately.
Texas Gas, an Owensboro-based company with 250 employees, is relocating its corporate headquarters to a new downtown building. The company's old headquarters, on the south end of Owensboro, will become a property of the city's public school system.
Revenue from the tax increase is funding other projects in Owensboro, but Payne said he's most excited about the public and private ventures in the downtown area. He describes the convention center as the "centerpiece."
"The thing we wanted to do here is have this iconic building that would provide the wow factor people got when they walked in the old Executive Inn," Payne said. "This building will be so much more."
It will be the bluegrass music theme that pulls visitors to Owensboro from beyond the Bluegrass State, Payne predicts. "What I want to see happen is us to become to bluegrass what Nashville is to country music or Memphis is to jazz. I want people overseas when they think bluegrass, they immediately think Owensboro."

Product description
Aby Warburg (1866-1929) is best known as the originator of the discipline of iconology and as the founder of the institute that bears his name. His followers included such celebrated art historians of the twentieth century as Erwin Panofsky, Edgar Wind, and Fritz Saxl. But his heirs developed, for the most part, a domesticated iconology based on the interpretation of symbolic material. As Phillippe-Alain Michaud shows in this important book, Warburg's own project was remote from any positivist or neo-Kantian ambitions. Nourished on the work of Nietzsche and Burckhardt, Warburg fashioned a "critical iconology" to reveal the irrationality of the image in Western culture. Opposing the grand teleological narratives of art inaugurated by Vasari, Warburg's method operated through historical anachronisms and discontinuities. Using "montage-collision" to create textless collections of images, he brought together pagan artifacts and masterpieces of Florentine Renaissance art, ancient Near East astrology and the Lutheran Reformation, Mannerist festivals and the sacred dances of Native Americans. Michaud insists that for Warburg, the practice of art history was the discovery within the art work itself of fracture, contradictions, tensions, and the energies of magic, empathy, totemism, and animism. Challenging normative accounts of Western European classicism, Warburg located the real sources of the Renaissance in the Dionysian spirit, in the expression of movement and dance, in the experience of trance personified in the frenzied nymph or ecstatic maenad.Aby Warburg and the Image in Motion is not only a book about Warburg but a book written with him; Michaud uses Warburg's intuitions and discoveries to analyze other categories of imagery, including the daguerreotype, the chronophotography of Etienne-Jules Marey, early cinema, and the dances of Loie Fuller. It will be essential reading for anyone concerned with the origins of modern art history and the visual culture of modernity.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Thursday September 6, 2012
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: Former greats Rexy Mainaky and Han Jian each spent almost seven years as Malaysia's national coaches in different eras but they have the same opinion – Malaysian badminton needs to get its act right.
Indonesian Rexy, a former Olympic and world champion who coached Malaysia from 2006-2012, feels that the change should start from the top.
"The BA of Malaysia (BAM) should choose a president who has time for the players and coaches. He should know the current situation well. The current president is not informed about everything and is controlled by those around him," said Rexy in an online interview from the Philippines, where he is now coaching.
BAM president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh is usually informed about the team's progress by coaching and training chairman Ng Chin Chai and general manager Kenny Goh.
Nadzmi also meets the council and exco members regularly as a platform to exchange information and discuss internal matters.
"The key people will do something and they will feel proud about it but it is their decisions that are actually causing all the mess," said Rexy.
"I believe the state presidents should also be people who know about badminton. Some are teachers and businessmen and have good relationships with BAM but they only know how to blame others."
Rexy left in haste this year – just months before the London Olympics to take up the post of national coaching director in the Philippines. Apart from it being a lucrative deal, it also gave him much say in the running of the programme from his base in Manila.
Rexy was hired as Malaysia's doubles coach in 2006 and under him, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong did the country proud by winning the Doha Asian Games gold medal – a first for Malaysia in 34 years.
They also won several other titles, including the All-England, and came close to nicking the 2010 World Championships title before losing to Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng of China in the final.
Their performances have been quite erratic over the last two years and their future as a pair is uncertain after they returned home empty-handed from the London Games.
While admitting that he wished he had been given more control as a coach during his tenure, Rexy was also quick to point out that the coaches should share the blame too.
"Some coaches also use the players for their own benefits," said Rexy without elaborating.
Prior to Rexy's departure, Kien Keat-Boon Heong had requested to be coached by Pang Cheh Chang and it was approved by BAM.
Meanwhile, 1985 world champion Han Jian, who was the national coach from 1989-1996, believes that Malaysia's success in badminton depends on long-term planning.
He said that the coaches should be given time to mould the players without any interference.
He added that too many changes in the set-up will slow down the progress of the coaches and players.
"BAM need long-term planning and policies. I have been here long and every time there is a failure, the whole set-up changes," said Han Jian, who has been the chief coach of his Setia Badminton Academy here for 10 years.
"Coaches do not have much power but are blamed after every failure. Coaches need time to execute a programme or a plan. Instead of taking it one step at a time, they are expected to jump ... run and forced to achieve fast results.
"Naturally, this will cause them to make mistakes.
"It took five to seven years of hard work for Wong Choong Hann to become a world beater. Give the coaches time and a good environment to work in."
Han Jian was also perplexed by the number of heads manning the national team, saying that "one head coach should be appointed".
"First, there was a chief coach. Then, there was no chief coach. Then, we had one high performance director. Now, the number has grown to four. What is all these?," he asked.
"There should be one expert to oversee everything. Stop making changes and have a long-term policy that will work for Malaysia.
"Maybe, it is time to take stock of the quality of coaches too. How many are professionals? Are they graduates? Not all players make good coaches ..."
Han Jian and Rexy are hoping the BAM's coaching and training committee, who meet this Saturday, will make the right decisions.
RAZIF SIDEK (chief coach 1994-1996)
GET new coaches as the current ones have been around for some time. They have been there over two Olympic Games cycles and four Thomas Cup campaigns. Set up a new management as well. There should be a full-time secretary to oversee and cross-check programmes and planning.
He should ensure all administrative work is in order, especially the task given to the general manager. There should not be any excuses for missing out players' entry for tournaments.
BAM should organise open selection trials to select new players to replace those who have been with BAM for six year or more.
I resigned as a chief coach when the team failed to return with a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games as promised.
KWAN YOKE MENG (national coach 1993-2003)
THE BAM have more funds now and I hope they will channel it generously to the states – specifically to the schools.
We need to produce players in batches continuously and the development programme is the key.
Coaches should be given more power in matters related to athletes and training programmes.
We also need a bigger pool of coaches. National doubles chief coach Tan Kim Her has nine pairs to handle – that's way too many for a coach.
MOHD ROSLIN HASHIM (Bukit Jalil Sports School coach from July 2011-March 2012)
THE change should start from the administrators in BAM.
A few of them should step down because the target for the London Games was not met.
However, I do not think they will relinquish their posts.
It is pointless to hope for changes if the same people remain.
CHEAH SOON KIT (National women's doubles coach 2001-2007)
THE focus should be on appointing a head coach.
It will solve many headaches in the team and prevent problems like selecting players and entering them for tournaments.
The head coach should be given the responsibility to monitor the players and coaches. He will be accountable for all the results and achievements of the team.
He should work closely with the committee or management but he should be given space to do his work. Communication is also important and it should be a two-way thing.

Critical Essay by Karen Sinclair
Repeatedly in [Le Guin's] fiction we confront individuals who are of society and yet not quite a part of it. The outsider, the alien, the marginal man, adopts a vantage point with rather serious existential and philosophical implications. For Le Guin this marginality becomes a metaphor whose potency is fulfilled in a critical assessment of society. (p. 50)
The "chronic uprootedness," the disconnectedness, endows the protagonists with a vision that transcends that of the others around them, who see the world through culture-bound categories and characterizations. Yet theirs is not a happy plight. Their vision isolates them, while their attempts to promote understanding seem only to remove them further from their compatriots. Ultimately, despite her concern with utopias, Le Guin's view is not optimistic. It can be argued that her heroes' lack of success is due in fact to the failures...

Nyack News
RELEASE: Nyack's Fourth Year on the CHE "Great College to Work For" List
July 21, 2014
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Names Nyack College "A Great College to Work For"
A Fourth Consecutive Year
Nyack, NY—Nyack College has been named a "2014 Great College to Work For" by The Chronicle of Higher Education (CHE) for the fourth consecutive year. Also the second year with Honor Roll distinction, the College received high marks in the areas of compensation and benefits, confidence in senior leadership, job satisfaction, respect and appreciation, supervisor/department chair relationship, work/life balance, and in a new category, professional development programs.
The Great Colleges program is one of the largest and most respected workplace recognition initiatives in our nation that showcases colleges for specific best practices and policies. Nearly 300 institutions were assessed and Nyack College was among the 92 that received the honor this year.
Under the administration of Nyack's current president, Dr. Michael G. Scales, the tradition was established of celebrating the efforts and the talent of Nyack faculty and staff at an annual luncheon where service and special awards are presented. In addition to 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or more service year awards, others include Online Educator of the Year, Faculty Award for Support of Information Literacy and Critical Thinking, Enrollment Services Associate of the Year, Student Financial Services Associate of the Year, Student Development Professional of the Year, and Athletics Coach of the Year. For the past six years the Commitment to Mission Award has been presented to one faculty member and one staff member to encourage development and achievement in specific areas of strategic importance to Nyack College; to provide an incentive for continued excellence through specific accomplishments that align with the institution's core values and mission; and to celebrate individual accomplishments that both reflect and contribute to Nyack's core values.
After serving as a consultant for more than 50 college and university presidents during his career in higher education, Dr. Scales has not wavered in his appreciation for the men and women who serve as his support system and who are on the frontlines of delivering a quality education at Nyack College.
The Nyack Board of Trustees similarly applauds the leadership of President Scales, who was re-elected to a third three-year term in 2012. Scales says, "The Nyack College community is profoundly diverse. Of our full-time faculty, 39 percent are female and 45 percent are nonwhite. Amid this diversity, Nyack's faculty and staff come together to serve our students. The result is a workplace that is both purposeful and inspiring. Our purpose unites us, while our diversity energizes us. A diverse community sharing a purpose that unites and defines it is a great place. That's Nyack, and I feel privileged to serve here."
"I'm honored to have the privilege of serving with such extraordinary men and women, who not only excel in the areas in which they serve, but who go beyond the call of duty to serve the young men and women being educated and empowered for a lifestyle of servant leadership."
About Nyack
Nyack College was founded in 1882 by Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson and currently serves more than 3,100 students in its undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs. In addition to its suburban campus in Nyack, NY and a city campus in Manhattan's historic Battery Park, an extension site is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nyack is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 264 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by BobNewhouse80 Water scam Beware the water scam. Two bottles of water. Both have tags around the neck. The first says free. The second, you think is the same. But instead it says the second water costs $3.50! Seriously???!!!! Spend over $200 on a hotel room and they bait and switch you out of $3.50 for a 50 cent bottle of water. You won't find this out until you get your bill via email (and you are heading down 81). Shame on them. April 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marlene2015 Comfort and Quality The Sheraton Syracuse Hotel and Convention Center is a gem. From the moment you step through the door you are met by the courteous and friendly staff. Check-in is a breeze and you are ensconced in the comfort of your room in no time at all. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The attention to detail is incredible in that all perceived needs of the traveler are at finger-tip. The beds are delightful, cozy, comfortable and deliver the best nights sleep. Finally, the Hotel Restaurant "Rachels" is not to be missed. Excellent service by friendly staff and amazing food delightfully presented. All-in-all an excellent experience. My next trip to Syracuse, no questions where I'll stay! April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MatthewD42 Great management and staff Jason, the hotel manager, and Josh at the front desk are exceptional. Outstanding service and very accommodating. March 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Absolute Close to University, Popular for Tailgating My wife and I stayed in this hotel for two nights after driving down from Canada for Black Friday. We wanted a hotel that was central to Syracuse, to hit the outlets and other shopping malls. Location-wise, I don't know Syracuse but it was close to a major highway - and right next to the university. A few one-way streets, but with Google Maps it was easy to locate. Being near the university, there are many shops, restaurants, and a pharmacy right within walking distance. Check-in was quick, and we were given a room on the club floor; easy to access our floor, which was interesting. The elevators are away from the front desk - near the front doors - and not fully visible, which I found strange. Our room was nicely appointed as a standard Sheraton room, and the club lounge was a nice surprise. There was a slightly better breakfast than I've seen at other locations, with the standard evening honor-bar service and snacks. I didn't know it until the day we checked out, but the hotel is very popular for tailgating parties - a radio station had setup their broadcast in the lobby in the morning, and I wish we hadn't been in such a rush as there was going to be food served in the lobby. Definitely a big football city! All-in-all, I'd stay there again. February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathy08 Hotel was very nice but room had no heat This was the first time we had stayed at this hotel and was pleased with the place but our room was nice but had NO Heat!!! Was not happy bout this as we were there for a terrific night as it was New Years Eve! We has called twice first time they came and reset the heater 2nd time they said cause no body was in the room never got warm rest of the night we were not a happy couple as to we had 4 other couples with us.in different room that were very warm. Other than the heat it was very nice! January 3, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by CTOWN26 Be aware... We were overnighting between Chicago and Boston and had specifically booked a King jr suite for our family of four. We got in around 8:30pm with our 5 and 9 year old and were told we were upgraded to a "Parlor Suite" on the 6th floor. What we didn't realize was that this meant a queen murphy bed and a sofa bed. My 6'6" DH and I cannot fit in a queen. Room layout was just weird. Too late and too tired to do anything about it but it felt like a bait and switch. It was explained at check-out that the king suites are on the 3rd floor and there was a late party booked on the 2nd floor so they were likely trying to ensure a good night's sleep. Front desk was very sweet about it after the fact and comp'd us breakfast. Would rather have had the good night sleep by not falling off an uncomfortable bed. Avoid room 633. Staff otherwise helpful and friendly. December 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by cielbleu Dodo No bed bugs. That is good. Great staff. November 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christine18 Awsome Parents Weekend! Knowing that it was Parent's Weekend at SU I wasn't expecting their usual high caliber of service. Boy was I wrong! Every aspect of my stay was outstanding - room was available and waiting before regular check-in time (and lovely) , the hotel was spotless, staff was more than gracious, everything was comfortable yet professional with high end service. I often stay here when I'm in town, although I have stayed at other hotels - but never again. If they can pull this off on one of the most hectic and high demand weekends of the year this is the only place I will stay in Syracuse! November 11, 2014
