Paul Marioni – Aren't presentations supposed to be boring?
Well Paul is still a rebel because it was anything but boring!
Some really fun things we got to hear:
- How Paul made an ornery police chief, that fought Paul on a public project the whole way, cry and hug Paul.
- How Paul captures glass, film and silky ideas with light.
- How Paul appreciates the statute of limitations in regards to a car he split in two. ;)
- What Paul is most proud of… his children (who are grown, established artists and were there).
- Words, jokes and great thoughts by Paul that inspired me.
Thanks for a fun time…I'm so glad we went!
Later we went to see Paul's award winning film from 40 years ago called "Hole". It was a mockumentary about a man obsessed with holes. After that there was a film that Paul was in called "Rest in Pieces". I show snippets of "Hole" in Painted in the Desert but it's well worth seeing the entire film. Side note: Paul was the first to show John Waters, David Lynch and other great films in San Francisco. He's just plain cool…
When the audio is available from the presentation, it will be available here…

Richard Royal at Bemis in SoDo
We went to the Bemis Building Art Walk today and was surprised to turn the corner and run into Richard Royal's studio. It was gorgeous! I'm so sad I didn't take any pics of that gallery. Richard is one of the six degrees of most of the artists in the movie. He did the blanks (I'm pretty sure) for Bob Carlson's "The Twelve Apostles of the Modern Mind" and for Cappy's work. I think his name was sprinkled in a few more times but maybe didn't make the cut? I introduced myself and he was, of course, very nice like the rest of the group.
We've never been to that artwalk before and we were both pleasantly surprised. I'd never even heard of it. Richard said that they took a few years off and then started doing them bi-yearly for a weekend. The studios alone are stunning and well worth it. I didn't have the guts to ask for any pics of just the studios.
Vanessa Steinhillo was very sweet and let me take a picture of her and her dreamy work at her studio.
Street Art vs Tagging Graffiti
When I was the president of Cartoonists Northwest, I was responsible for setting up the speakers every month. I wasn't prepared for a bit of backlash about asking Starheadboy (Dave Bloomfield) to give a presentation.
To be fair, it wasn't a strong backlash, there were just a few people who talked about being on committees that get rid of graffiti and some subtle complaints about it. I was surprised but I don't think I really should have been. I don't like tagging either but most people don't know what the difference is.
Tagging is when people or gangs write their initials, signs or symbols on the wall to claim the area or to just try and get someone to notice.
Graffiti is the overall umbrella of tagging and the art of wheat pasting, stickers and painting in public areas. Most artists that paint pictures, murals, wheat paste paintings, chalk paint, etc. call themselves "Street Artists" instead of graffiti artists but I'm sure that will go in a cycle too. Not to digress too much but graffiti is ancient and has been performed in pyramids by the ancient tourists and Roman times as well.
I grew up in a gang filled area and the people I knew that did the tagging had nowhere else to turn since they were in gangs or kicked out of their home either physically or figuratively. To me tagging is representative of a community where the people are not feeling honored, not listened to or let's face it, abused. When the murals, paintings and graphics come out from the street artists, they are trying to either get themselves known without elitist galleries, have fun with their friends or just spread their art as a gift. I know some people don't think of the art as a gift, but you don't have to love it and it will go away soon…just like advertising and posters.
When I went to Chicago for a visit, I missed the graffiti we usually see around Seattle. Everything looked so sterile. I'm not sure what is different from slick advertisements and artists expressing themselves on the backs of signs. My guess is we're just so used to seeing advertisements. Even the advertisements that try and look like graffiti are in a neat rectangle so your mind can ignore it.
So maybe that's the secret…just make everything in a neat rectangle so we can decide to look at it or not…just like at the museums? :D Just wondering out loud.
PS Not condoning doing any damage to homes or businesses. Most artists are respectful and besides, the next mural could be a Banksy on your ugly wall!
Also, the presentation by Starheadboy went over unbelievably well. 95% of the people who went adored him which included the original people who weren't that excited.
What I've noticed with all of the artists in the film is that everyone seems to be doing things internationally. What this means to me, but may not mean to you, is that an international career might not show up on my radar. I know Charlie has a great career here in the US but slowly I've been hearing about all the other countries that love glass, photography, painting etc. that have been helping to support everyone.
I hadn't really thought about finding work outside the US and I'm not sure why. It's not snobbery since I adore other cultures, I'm pretty sure it's just ignorance. I wouldn't know the first thing about trying to access other art venues outside America. I haven't asked any of the artists but I wonder if they were contacted or did the artist contact the other venues? If I get any updates from the artists I know, I'll post it here.
Why you see a lot of posts here about Traver Gallery in Seattle…
Because they are one of the reasons that glass had a renaissance! Also, a lot of the people Mellissae grew up with became friends because they met through the gallery…Plus, I love their work and yay!

The A's are known to have awesome walk-up songs and A's fans are hypnotized by Josh Reddick's walk-up song "Careless Whisper."
But one fan took it to the next level by playing along on a real saxophone.
Well done, sir. I played the sax myself for seven years. My only question is how did he manage to get his saxophone, along with the case, reeds, and all that comes with a sax into the game. I guess security didn't mind and just sent him on his way.

Governments have a responsibility to ensure public safety, and a vested interest in providing human security and an environment conducive to development to their citizens. However, the excessive accumulation and universal availability of small arms negatively impact on security, human rights and social and economic development in many parts of the world. … The proliferation of small arms and light weapons represents a grave threat to human security. The unchecked spread of these weapons has exacerbated inter- and intra-state conflicts, contributed to human rights violations, undermined political and economic development, destabilized communities, and devastated the lives of millions of people. –From a UN Report, via PJM
Just to give you an idea, we have seized 75,000 guns and assault weapons in Mexico in the last three years. And more than 80 percent of those we have been able to trace came from the United States — from the United States. –The Mexican President in front of Congress, via The Foundry
Here is the reality, as detailed at the two links above. First, the private ownership of firearms is not a threat to freedom anyplace in the world. In fact, the opposite is true—private ownership of firearms is closely tied to personal freedom in other areas of life. Second, the statistics these gun banners use are flat lies. The second link shows how the Mexican President said one thing, and implied another. While technically he has skirted the lie, the implication is still a lie. Most of the guns Mexico traces are from the US, but only a tiny portion of the guns the Mexican police seize are ever traced—and most of those traced are traced because they are easy to trace, through the efficient and friendly US tracing system. It's much like the old nonsense about most murders being committed by someone the victim knows. Sure that's the way the statistics play out, because it's a lot easier to catch the murderer if they're among the victim's acquaintances.
The liberal idea is that governments are legitimate if they have a monopoly of force. This is a lie. Governments are legitimate when they follow the rule of law, when those in government abide by the same laws they expect the citizens of the country to follow. The main reason liberals want the government to have a monopoly of power is because only then will they be able to force people to live the way they think is best.

Dries Buytaert, creator of Drupal and co-founder/CTO of Acquia, describes himself as "an accidental leader." BBJ | W. Marc Bernsau
The UpTake: Dries Buytaert's life story proves that a passion project can develop not only into a solid business, but also into a product that touches people around the world.
In 1999, Dries Buytaert made the decision to spend "a couple nights" working on a message board for himself and other computer science students at the University of Antwerp to use.
"That ended up being 13 years of my life,†said Buytaert, whose project evolved into Drupal, an open-source content management system and site development platform now powering more than 2 percent of the world's websites.
Drupal provides Web developers with a free set of tools and is particularly tailored to sites that have a lot of content that is continuously being updated, as well as sites that need to serve a large number of registered users.
Drupal now has more than 1 million users in 228 countries, and Buytaert continues to serve as the project lead for Drupal as well as president of the nonprofit Drupal Association.
"I very much feel like I'm an accidental leader,†Buytaert said. "I enjoy what I do and feel great about what I do, but I never planned to build software that would be so widely used.â€
Crucial to that growth has been his decision to make the Drupal project open source, so that anybody could build upon the files and code that are part of Drupal.
After eight years of working on Drupal in his spare time—while earning his doctorate and working as a software engineer at a startup—Buytaert co-founded Acquia with the help of serial entrepreneur Jay Batson and venture capitalist Michael Skok.
Acquia provides companies with cloud hosting as well as tools and services for websites created using Drupal. "The reason I started Acquia was to make large organizations successful with Drupal, and in doing so to grow Drupal itself,†Buytaert said.

'Vegas' sneak peek: Vincent smells a ratAdd to Favorites | Vegas
Diane Desmond caused a heap of trouble for Vincent Savino on "Vegas" last week. As you'll soon see, though, what happened in the previous episode may just be the tip of the iceberg.
In this clip from Tuesday's (Dec. 18) episode, "Estinto" -- which you can see exclusively on Zap2it -- D.A. Reynolds ( Michael Reilly Burke) tips off Vincent ( Michael Chiklis) that Diane (guest star Ivana Milicevic) may be an FBI informant. How else, Reynolds wonders, could she have gotten drug charges against her to go away?
Needless to say, Vincent is less than excited to hear the news. "What do you think she's doing in Vegas?" he asks. "Do the math," Reynolds replies. "She's here to get info -- take you down."
Incidentally, "estinto" is an Italian word that means "extinguished." It's usually used in music, meaning to play very, very quietly, but considering the context of this clip, it might have another meaning too. So watch your back, Diane.
The episode also will feature Dixon ( Taylor Handley) going undercover at the Savoy after a series of robberies there, and Ralph ( Dennis Quaid) and Jack ( Jason O'Mara) looking into the mob when a contractor is murdered. "Vegas" airs at 10 p.m. ET Tuesday on CBS.

Ten years after the September 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden has been killed, and al- Qaeda has been diminished to a shell of its former self. But the anti-Western hate that drives the terror group is still echoed by some Muslim leaders:
As millions of Americans remembered the nearly 3,000 men, women and children killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated his claims that the U.S. staged the attacks to justify overseas military aggression and profit from weapon sales.
"The Sept. 11 [attacks] were actually a planned game to provoke the human community's sentiments and find an excuse for launching attack on Muslim regions and occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, which led to the massacre of 1 million innocent people," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Many are tempted to shrug off Ahmadinejad's genocidal, anti-Israel and anti-American rants as just bluster, even while his regime is on the brink of building a nuclear weapon. But he represents a lingering problem in the Muslim world that has yet to be resolved a decade after the 9/11 attacks. Bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism still have a prominent place in the political culture. And American intellectuals too often try to dismiss that rhetoric, or even explain it away as a legitimate response to U.S. or Israeli actions. This is the same atmosphere that spawned the hijackers, that protected bin Laden and that bolstered and funded al-Qaeda. Remembering 9/11 also means acknowledging the noxious beliefs that led to it – and taking them seriously.

If you are a woman with
type 1 or
type 2 diabetes who is planning to become pregnant, meet with your doctor. Your doctor will want to talk to you about your A1c goal, your medicine for diabetes, your weight, and getting enough folic acid. Your doctor will want to make sure that you are up to date with immunizations. And you'll want to have your cholesterol, thyroid, eyes, and blood pressure checked to see if you need treatment changes.
Your diabetes puts your developing baby at risk for birth defects. This is especially true if you don't keep your blood sugar in a target range during the early part of pregnancy. And during pregnancy, your high blood sugar can cause your baby to be very large. This will make delivery hard for both of you. After delivery, your baby is more likely to have jaundice. High blood sugar during your pregnancy causes your baby to make extra insulin. After delivery, your baby may continue to make too much insulin and be at risk for low blood sugar.
Many women find that they have low blood sugar in early pregnancy. Then later in pregnancy, they develop more resistance to insulin. To keep your blood sugar levels within a target range, you
may need to adjust how much insulin you need from day to day. And you'll want to be more careful about healthy eating, especially if you have morning sickness and/or food cravings. You will want to test your blood sugar more often to find out about the ways in which your pregnancy changes how insulin, food, activity, and stress affect
your blood sugar.
If you have type 2 diabetes, you will need to start taking insulin instead of your oral medicine Your oral medicine is not safe during pregnancy. If you don't take medicine, you will want to monitor your blood sugar frequently to be sure insulin isn't needed. And all women who are planing to be pregnant should check with a doctor about the safety of prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements.

Most people here crack me up.
My favorite bike has about 20 hp and I ride it everywhere, and have more fun on it then any other bike I have ever owned, and the V7 is under powered?
Its 400 pounds, if it had 80 or 90 hp it would be over 500 pounds and a big heavy sled, like the Bonneville. It would suck gas and need a bigger gas tank, bigger suspension parts, stronger frame, stronger driveline, and would be one of the other bigger Moto Guzzi's....
From what I read, V7 service is as easy as it gets, no coolant, valves are screw and locknut, easy to get at, no chain and sprockets, fuel injection, whats to do on the bike?
Order filters/gaskets/brake pads on line, have spares on hand, and you never need to go to any dealers.
Besides the very nice style and sound, I would pick the V7 over other bikes just because its so light.

But seriously. My '93 Duc 900SS was rated with 84hp, and weighs just over 400lbs dry. The Monster 696 weighs 407 wet and is rated at 80 hp. The 1100 version weighs 414 WET, and makes 100 brake hp. That's only two pounds more than the 796 which makes in the upper 80's. Different machine altogether I know, but still a two valve twin.
Wanna go lower tech? The Buell XB12 weighed right around 400 lbs and made 103hp and 84 ft/lbs of torque with a push rod twin that's original design just as old, if not older, than that of the Guzzi mill. You could detune it quite a bit and still be well within the range I asked for.
I don't really think that 70-80 hp (the range that I said would suit me just fine) would be out of the question. That's really not asking for much these days. I mean, come on man, 47 hp out of a 850 mill? Why a machine making 70- 80 hp would need to weigh 500lbs is beyond me when tons of light bikes make that kind of power, and many make well over that amount and are even lighter.
Suck gas and need a bigger tank? Really? Geesh! Get real, man. What kind of mileage do you think bikes in that output range get? We're not talking a fire breathing monster here. . And if 4.5 gallons of fuel ain't enough... well...
There are good resources and helpful folks online that can pretty much answer your questions. There's at least a couple of decent MG specific forums. And the bikes are pretty simple and easy to work on. Nothing that a reasonably mechanically inclined owner can't handle. Well, at least that was the case with the older pre-FI models. I have no idea about the newer ones. Is there a consumer available method for checking computer diagnostics codes and such, or are you married to the dealer for that sort of thing like with BMW? I'm afraid that while FI may have brought some advantages it has also put an end to the shade tree home mechanic being able to solve all his problems with a well stock tool chest. At least for a lot of new machines. Either way though, for service and the vast majority of repairs you could probably handle most things yourself. As Brett said, there's really not much to doing the basic stuff like oil changes and valve adjustments.
Granted, shaft drive requires less regular maintenance, but when and if it does need servicing it is quite a bit more complex than a simple chain and sprocket set.
And I seriously considered one a while back myself. IMO, NOTHING sounds better than a Guzzi with a nice set of pipes at full chat! I like the size, and I could live with the suspension and brakes. Just get it into the upper 60's hp range or above and I'd be happy. Get it over mid 70's and I'd be ecstatic.

I think a lot of it depends where you ride. Where we go in PA and WV a bit of HP is needed as there can be very small passing zones that only present themselves after a very long stretch. Getting stuck behind 3-4 large trucks for 50 miles is a real possibility.

I have owned a few new bikes and all of them had some niggles of some kind when brand new. A lot of them were caused or missed during dealer prep.
The lil Guzzi had a couple of electrical problems the first year that spoiled the love- the damp winter climate here caused one electrical terminal in one electrical connector to turn green and temperamental, and the first month the tps thingy went bad and was replaced under the warranty.
Once I found the intermittent terminal, cleaned and sealed the connector - the bike has been 100% reliable - just hop on and go. Finding a fixing a simple problem felt real good and maybe completed the bonding.
The biggest worry for us V7 owners has been the cold-starting fueling nature... engine needs to be warmed up to use and the other big one was gasohol swelling the early plastic tanks. The new models have been changed to correct the early concerns .... it is now as good as any Honda I have owned....
I ride mostly remote rural and town roads, and at slow speeds usually, but with lots of hills curves, deer, tourists, bicyclists and no shoulder it can be exciting at times.
I have done 3 long rides on the bike and found that I didn't really need to change the basics - bars and seat fine - footpegs are ok, ...it fits. Add a shield to keep the bugs off -(I tried a big screen, but the little one works much better), and a set of removable luggage to carry your stuff.
The stock footpegs are ok, but my legs have always been the problem on long rides - I always get a cramp in one leg or the other. This spring I put on 1" lowered pegs that are very very comfortable - and they seem to work without any loss of cornering but this summer's ride will test em! I cant remember any bike that fit me better than this one. Thats it - nothing else to do or left to farkle up now!
As to commuting on the V7, I really like that it feels like a small light bike, very agile yet stable - its great for my kind of riding, but if you are mainly going back and forth on a stretch of straight interstate, it might not be the best bike for you.

Nairobi — THE Nairobi County government has pledged to embark on a number of initiatives aimed at streamlining the roads and transport sector in the region.
According to officials, the initiatives will look at easing traffic and developing infrastructure through capacity building including partnerships and formation of committees to address the problems facing transport in the city.
"In order to address new and emerging challenges in the roads, public works and transport sector, the County has put, or is putting in place, different initiatives to build internal capacity," said Governor Evans Kidero.
Among the initiatives in place, according to Dr. Evans Kidero, include the creation of a secretariat to drive the new transformation framework, reengineering and revamping of the engineering department with newcapabilities to address behavior and attitude change in the road and transport sector.
The county has begun the recruitment and development of the County Traffic Marshals who will manage traffic.
The governor pledged that more would be recruited.
Mobilization of stimulus funds to rehabilitate and repair of roads in all the wards in Nairobi City County is an initiative that will work in tandem with the National government's efforts to improve infrastructure and ease congestion.
Another initiative that the county has pledged is to engage bilateral and multilateral development partners with a view to mobilizing resources for transport.
The county would also explore the existing studies and construction of the nine corridors in the region.

Sketchbook 2011
Hi everyone,
I haven't drawn for a long time but recently I've made a decision to come back. Maybe this time I will have a patience and inner strength to improve my skills. I started drawing and making 3d (I mainly work as a 3d graphic artist) because when I saw "The Lord of the Ring" trilogy for a first time on a big screen I told to oneself that I want to do things like that - create worlds, images which can impress other people. But as you know this is a really hard to do so I have a hope that this time I wont give up.
The first three works are from last days. Other are from the beginning of 2011, but as the title is "Sketchbook 2011" I attached them to
All comments and criticism are welcome.

Looking good so far. Those architecture/item studies/etc look great - I'd love to see more of those. I think loosening up and thinking about your brush strokes/hatching more would be nice for both the depiction of form and for you if you were having problems with motivation before. Just play, don't worry about anything looking wrong or stupid and just enjoy the feeling of pencil on paper. Take a separate paper for it if you prefer it that way, but by learning to enjoy the progress you will need inner strength to do other things.
But yeah, keep drawing!!

Very nice work, I like the 3d study and the architectures. From what I understand you want to do, create worlds, etc., I can only say this requires loads of patience and practice. However you have a good head start.
Keep up the good work!
All the best,

Castle Creator Andrew Marlowe: What Happens in 1947 Reflects Castle and Beckett's Present-Day Relationship
One of the things we love so much about ABC's hit crime procedural Castle is the witty, innuendo-laden dialogue. Whenever we hear Rick Castle and Kate Beckett discussing seemingly insignificant topics, we know there's always a hidden meaning lurking somewhere in the subtext.
And according to show creator Andrew Marlowe, tonight's noir flashback episode, "The Blue Butterfly," is no exception.
"It's not a deep mythology episode for us," he admits to TV Line, "but there are great moments for the two of them to play in this. Some of the stuff in the 1940s reflects where the two of them are in their dance. It's just that he's Joe, and she's Vera."
Any chance tonight's tango could end in a smooch for present-day Castle and Beckett?
"There is a kiss that might excite fans, absolutely," he teases. "Let's let them tune in to see if it's between Joe and Vera, or Castle and Beckett."
You're killin' us, Andrew!

Anytime someone in the news room mentions Anjo, we get all flurried. We love this place that's situated on the border of West Covina and Baldwin Park.
They have everything from sushi to udon and it's always fresh.
This little restaurant (when I say little, I mean little) opens up for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., then closes until dinner time from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday only, and Sunday, only dinner is offered. It is closed every Monday.
I believe they can afford to have such oddly short hours, since it is always packed for lunch. My very first day here at the paper about two years ago I was invited to this locale for lunch and tried salmon for the first time.
Thank God I did, because there's is so fresh and tasty that I fell in love. If I would have tried salmon in other restaurants, as I have since then, I would have been completely dissapointed and never wanted to try it ever again.
Along with salmon, the restaurant offers a limited number of daily lunch specials which sell out fast because they are a great deal. They usually come in a bento box with a sample of lots of goodies like sashimi, teriyaki chicken, fried gyoza and maybe even some tempura all for an average of $7.95.
There are lunch special combos that include steamed rice, salad, and miso soup. The salad's dressing is sweet and tangy and the ingredients are mysterious to me, but I don't care because it's just so tasty.
The variety of fresh sushi offered invites you to make more than one visit to try them all.
I can never just get one thing. If I'm very hungry I'll order a salmon-teriyaki combo with tempura and a spicy tuna roll on the side.
And if you miraculously happen to have enough room for dessert, there's green tea ice cream and fresh cut fruit bowls.
I do warn again, this is a little restaurant with limited amount of tables so get there early or you'll have to wait a good while for a table or just order to-go.
The atmosphere and staff are great but sometimes the crowds are just too much. I sometimes have to settle for the glare of flourescent bulbs above and my computer screen to create my lunch ambiance when I order for pick-up.
Dinner is considerably more pricier than lunch but can offer a great alternative to that frozen meal you're thinking about reaching for.
Anjo is at 1905 W. Badillo St., West Covina, (626) 480-0288.

Principles of Suzuki Talent Education
More than forty years ago Shinichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist and educator, discovered the unique combination of philosophy and method called the "mother tongue approach." This method made it possible to teach very young children to play the violin in as natural a way as they learn to speak. By listening to repeated words, observing the speaker, absorbing the experience, and finally imitating, children become fluent in their native language. The Suzuki approach utilizes this process of listening and imitation in an environment created by daily listening to music and by close cooperation and participation of at least one parent.
The UNI Suzuki School program is based on the educational philosophy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki which is called Talent Education and follows these principles:
- The parent is actively involved in the learning process. The mother or father attends all lessons and recitals with the child and supervises his or her practice at home. In the beginning stages of instruction, the parent learns the music along with the child in order to motivate and instruct.
- Emphasis is placed on listening to performances and recordings of music being learned and on learning through imitation. Reading is taught later when the child has mastered the basic techniques of the instrument.
- All Suzuki repertoire is memorized. The child develops good concentration and discipline. However, other repertoire that is not memorized is taught to help develop reading abilities.
- There is constant review of previously learned repertoire.
- The repertoire included in the Suzuki volumes includes familiar folk melodies and classical music of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. In addition, contemporary music and other selections may be learned if the student desires.
- Though Suzuki emphasizes learning technique through careful study of the repertoire, additional technical and theoretical study is incorporated according to each child's needs.
- Individuality is emphasized. Students are not pushed beyond their present abilities. The concentration, motivation, and attitude of each student is observed and each child is allowed to develop at his or her own pace.
- The Suzuki child becomes a natural performer because of the periodic group and solo recitals and the constant emphasis on accurate musical performance. The child rarely practices alone, and thus finds performing in front of others easy.
- The actual learning process for the Suzuki child involves exposure to sounds, attempts to imitate the sounds, encouragement and correction from teacher and parent, and repetition and refinement. A natural environment similar to that of the learning a language is provided by constant review of skills and techniques already learned. This may also be referred to as the Mother Tongue method.
- Talent Education stresses that, just as ALL children can learn to speak, they also can learn to perform and appreciate music.
- Suzuki emphasizes good character: "Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If a child hears fine music from the day of his birth and learns to play it himself, he develops sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He gets a beautiful heart." Learning to play and appreciate music and transferring there abilities to other aspects of life is essential to Talent Education.
Recommended Supplemental Activities:
- Attend local concerts and recitals.
- In addition to your repertoire of Suzuki music, listen to recordings of your instrument and others as well as chamber and orchestral music.
- Attend workshops, retreats, master classes, and summer institutes.
- Read Nurtured by Love and other materials about Dr. Suzuki and Talent Education. Items available from the Somer Streed Memorial Library (UNI Suzuki School resource). Click here for list.

Individual Lessons
The parent is actively involved in the learning process. It is the responsibility of the mother or father to attend all lessons, groups and recitals with the child and supervise the home practice. One of the most important ingredients for success is the parent's willingness to spend time working closely with child and teacher. The goal of the private lesson is to have the student learn the skills required to play the instrument with special emphasis on tonalization and musicality while developing a positive parent-teacher-child relationship.
- Be on time for lessons
- If you cannot attend a lesson, arrange to have lesson taped.
- At lessons, assume the role of a quiet observer, remembering that the child cannot learn from two teachers at once.
- Bring a notebook and pen/pencil to take notes. (Weekly practice sheets are available.)
- Learn to tune and care for the instrument.
- Learn to play the instrument.
- If siblings attend lessons, please provide "quiet" toys or books for the child so that you are free to observe the student's lesson.
- Understand the specific assignment for the next week, and don't hesitate to ask if instructions are unclear.
- If you wish to discuss your child with the teacher, do it by phone or make an appointment, not during lessons or when the child is present.
- Should a problem arise between teacher/parent or teacher/student, discuss it with the teacher as soon as possible. If you are uncomfortable speaking to the teacher, contact the director.
- Attend and be prepared for all lessons, groups and recitals.
- When you arrive at lesson, get out your instrument, prepare the instrument for lesson, get into rest position and be ready for the beginning bow to begin the lesson.
- Learn to properly care for your instrument (dusting, cleaning, etc.)
- Be attentive and respectful when working with the teacher and when listening to others perform in group lessons and recitals.
Group Lessons
Group lessons are wonderful opportunities to motivate your child. They offer a chance to hear pieces which will be worked on in the future and the opportunity to recognize and utilize the skills already learned. However, there are two other important purposes for having group lessons.
First, group lessons give your child a musical peer group with whom he/she can identify. Group playing is often slightly below solo material level for the majority of the class and offers a chance for the students to play for each other in a non-threatening environment, develop self-confidence and poise in a group and derive motivation and social enjoyment from their peers and friends.
Second, classes are preparation for ensemble work. Playing in a group involves an entirely different set of skills than playing a solo. Many group activities are used to develop a sense of ensemble while reviewing and polishing various technical and musical points in a pleasant and stimulating environment. Group lessons are valuable aids for motivation since children do learn from advanced students and want to do what they see other children doing.
You and your child are expected to attend group lessons weekly. It is very difficult for both the teacher and the student to make real progress in ensemble work if the same group is not there as expected. Please do not send your child to group lessons without coming yourself. We need your loving and encouraging eyes, ears, and smile. Often, the teachers in the younger classes need the parent to participate as partner or teacher for your own child.
Your child is placed in a group on the recommendation of his/her private teacher, in consultation with the director. He/she is moved to another group in the same manner, with consideration of his/her level of advancement, and the needs, goals and makeup of the particular groups. As in the case of acquiring a new instrument, bigger does not always mean better. Your child should be able to have both listening and playing experiences in group. A Book II student in private lessons will not be put in a Book II class until he/she can comfortably play the majority of the material in that book and can work in an ensemble.
Much of the material presented in group will eventually be incorporated into the private lesson. These group sessions are planned ahead of time and progress through the semester, so attend regularly, take notes and learn the material yourself so you can reinforce it at home. To insure that the group lessons are effective and worthwhile for the students, please remember you are responsible for the behavior of any children who might be with you at group time.
The Importance of Listening
The primary goal of the Suzuki program is to enrich the lives of children through a musical experience. The primary step in this process is for the child to learn to listen. Children need to "hear" the music before they can begin to appreciate or imitate musical sounds.
Parents can create three types of listening opportunities: review listening to the pieces already studied; listening to the current piece; and advance listening for preparation and motivation for the next piece in the book. In fact, it's valuable to listen several books ahead.
Repetition in listening is extremely important! With a cassette recorder you can tape the current piece five times, the past piece five times, the next piece five times, and then the rest of the pieces in that book -- all on one tape.
Sometimes, you will provide "environmental listening" by putting on the tape while getting dressed in the morning, getting ready for bed at night, reading, riding in the car, eating meals, or doing chores. The other kind of listening, "active listening," requires participation while listening, such as, tapping the beat or rhythm, singing the fingerings, singing note or pitch names, or even singing made-up words. Parents need to encourage and participate in active and environmental listening often with their children.
In a recital or concert, children should be taught to have respect for the audience and performers by giving their full and silent attention. The more children are taken to musical events and exposed to the listening discipline--modeled by attentive parents--the better equipped they will become for eventually disciplining themselves to listen.
Review, Review, Review
The habit of review, if established early, provides the benefit of a repertoire always at the student's fingertips. Review allows for very positive, pleasant experiences in solo playing and the fun of playing with a group at any time, without the bother of music books or stands.
A Suzuki instructor at a Dubuque workshop commented, "You don't gain ability by learning new songs; you gain ability when you play review." Suzuki himself said that once the notes are learned, we can begin to make music with a piece. Here are some suggestions for beginning to make music.
Review during each practice session, not just a matter of happenstance but as a planned part of the session.
On a day when, for some reason, a full practice session on new or current materials is impossible, have the child perform an individual "play through" of old and familiar pieces.
Include review listening in your regular listening schedule. The ease of review and depth of refinement is contingent on review listening.
When a particularly tricky spot in a piece seems to have gotten away from the fingers, take these measures out of the piece and practice them in exactly the same disciplined manner as when you first learned them (e.g., play a particular shift correctly ten times, or stop before a low second finger spot and place the finger low, ten times). This should not take more than two or three minutes a day and, in a week, the skill will have been restored.
Ask your child questions about earlier pieces. Encourage him or her to know what string and finger a piece begins on, what direction the bow goes, who the composer is--without your having to sing or hum the piece. (This is a good car game!)
- As your child plays a review piece, he/she should play at his/her current level of achievement. For example, if your child plays in book 4, he/she should play even "Twinkle" like a Book 4 piece!
Have a system (list, chart, cards--be creative) recording every known piece for regular review. Some parents use two jars labeled "Do It" and Done It." All review pieces in the child's repertoire are written on slips of paper and placed in "Do It"; each day the child draws a seventh of the slips, plays those review pieces, and deposits the slips in "Done It." By the end of the week, "Do It" is empty, "Done It" is full, and all pieces --not just the favorites--have been reviewed equally. Charts are also available to facilitate the review process.
- Finally, enjoy review and the depth of refinement it offers. Rejoice in your child's expanding memory. One must be a little awed at the capacity for retention Suzuki children demonstrate and thrilled at the carry-over into other areas of life, both practically and philosophically.
Integrating Practice with Lessons-Seven Lessons a Week
Take good notes at lessons so that you'll know exactly what the teacher wants you to practice that week. Practice sheets for taking notes at lesson are available at registration.
You may want to bring a tape recorder to lessons so you can listen to and practice a difficult spot along with the example your teacher recorded for you.
Do not start your child on a new piece without the teacher's permission. There are preparatory exercises which lead to the actual work on each new piece that your teacher will want to preview with the student. You could cause your child much additional work by trying to take the lead in this area. Even if you have had an older child learning the piece before, do not take the initiative to move ahead. Each student's needs are different, and the teacher will advise when and how each child should move on in the repertoire.
Be careful not to slip into the "from piece to piece" attitude. We must strive to encourage our children to go "from skill to skill."
Ask the teacher at the end of each lesson how long he or she wants the student to practice each day. It is also helpful to ask specifics, such as how many times certain sections should be repeated each day, which pieces are to be reviewed and for which particular skill, and how tonalization should be practiced during the week. When you are armed with specific instructions from your teacher, your practice sessions will be more productive and more rewarding.
Pay close attention to how your teacher leads the lesson. It will be your responsibility to prepare for and pace the practice sessions at home. Sessions filled with the child stalling and the parent talking are unproductive. It's kinder to your child in the end to keep practice moving: note how your teacher does this.
Focus your energy and your child's energy on one attainable goal for the week (if your teacher has set one) or a goal for the day. Having too many goals is confusing. Work on one thing at a time. Ask your teacher for focus and direction.
Management of Practice
Establish a regular practice time when both you and your child are rested and at your best. Try some time in the morning, before school.
Encourage your child to expand his/her efforts, but avoid pressuring him/her. Provide lots of positive comments; words of praise first, on even the smallest accomplishment; then, constructive comments for improvement.
Remember that there are basic ingredients to be included in each practice session.
Warm-up, or tonalization, if your child is at that level.
Preview work on new material, the most difficult spots
Polishing of current material
Review and concert performance pieces
Reinforcement of good playing posture and habits at all times
Note-reading will eventually be introduced and this, too, must become a segment of the practice time. This involves, at first, simple recognition drills using the staff only, and then finding the notes on the instrument. Even if you are not a musician, you can quickly learn enough to keep one step ahead of your child in these early note-reading games.
More advanced players will also be assigned additional technical studies such as scales or supplementary material not in the Suzuki literature. It is expected that these note-reading games and technical studies will be practiced every day.
Even if you don't have a solid 45 minute block of practice time, grab the odd 10 and 15 minute periods available for warm-up and positive practice. Spacing out the practice time not only makes practice possible in busy families, it also provides optimum learning. (Concentration is greater when mental and physical fatigue are eliminated.)
Be courageous! When things get dull, everyone's patience wears thin and progress seems slow, but don't be stymied. Think up new games and ways to practice.
Occasionally, a plateau or particularly trying time may call for a change in practice. Periodically, the substitution of a home concert or review is better than no practice at all.
During practice sessions, involve the child in the process. Instead of telling him "it's out of tune," ask him what he hears. Remember you are teaching your child how to practice. Ears, eyes, and brain need to be trained to analyze problems and provide solutions. Eventually your child will be practicing without your help.
Even if you don't want to be a pushy parent, be advised that you must provide the initial motivation. You can't wait for your child to get in the mood to practice. You must pull your child through discomfort and discouragement to success. From then on, your child's own motivation will be stronger and will carry him/her to further successes.
Important Points for Parents--From a Suzuki Teacher
Include the following tips and you will be well on your way to success:
Listen -- the more the better!
This is why younger brothers and sisters seem to learn so quickly; they've been listening more than anyone else.
Be interested, enthusiastic, and encouraging!
Parents must be interested and positive about their children's involvement in music, really like practicing most of the time, take good notes, pay attention in lessons, and so on. Children can sense any lack of interest on your part.
Review should take up one-third to one-half of every practice time. This is where students gain solidity, fluidity and confidence.
Be consistent!
Practice every day! Even if only a little, practice very day!
The Suzuki Bow and Other Graces
There are certain small disciplines your student will learn and make use of at each lesson. Some have a more symbolic meaning than meets the eye; all contribute to a more disciplined and graceful approach to living and learning. The bow, which performers use to acknowledge applause, is used at lessons, group lessons and performances at all Suzuki programs and institutes. It signifies the beginning and ending of the lesson. From the time the student and teacher bow to one another, it is lesson time. The parent should not interject comments or attempt to physically or verbally assist or reprimand unless specifically requested to do so by the teacher. The bow also indicates respect for one another, for teaching and for learning. These small, but important disciplines give a framework to the lesson which is easily understood.
The correct bow (arms to the side, feet together, and look at toes) like the correct playing posture, is a confidence builder and when practiced routinely, helps to develop stage presence and poise as well as a genuine attitude of respect.
The bow, and other non-Western ideas you may encounter have been carefully and thoughtfully incorporated into our program, not to rubber stamp or copy the pleasing mannerisms of another culture, but to contribute to the attitudes towards life, learning, and music which we hope to encourage.
The Weaning Process
There may come a point in the instructional process when your teacher will recommend that the parent either taper off in lesson attendance or stop attending with the student. At this point there may be a period of guided short assignments with which the student begins to work on his own before assuming the full responsibility for instruction and practice. The time for "weaning" will vary due to the student's age, development, and the personal dynamics involved, so please be appreciative of the teacher's assessment of the situation and, as in all other areas of talent education, do not judge your student's lesson situation by that of others in the program. The goal in early years is to help the student establish solid and efficient thoughtful practice habits.
Occasionally, a teacher will ask a parent not to attend lessons for a short period of time in order for the teacher to develop a more personal or direct rapport with the student. After a short period, the parent would attend lessons again on a regular basis.

Ms. Lowell was absent from the board meeting. However, the Café Press expenditure was questioned because it was not recorded on the report. Ms. Allen also questioned if there was a year to date report. Ms. Allen made a motion to approve the treasurer's report. The report was unanimously approved.
Treasurers Report: January 1, 2011 – November 11, 2011
Membership Report
Ms. Gray announced that there are currently 148 members. Ms. Gray had an inquiry about the membership directory. Since it has been misplaced, Ms. Gray asked if it was located on the website. It has not been added to the website in the past because of personal addresses. Some organizations do an opt-out. In SSA members have to log on to get the directory. Ms. North suggested putting it on the Yahoo listserv. Individuals could have access to institutional lists online but full directory access would be gained through the Yahoo group.
Electronic Resources Update
Ms. Blackburn stated the Mr. Fisher is updating preservation and emergency resources. She still anticipates adding the newsletter and institutional list online. One question did arise for Ms. Seemiller regarding frequency of screen shots for the SRMA archives. Ms. Blackburn suggested two times a year: June and December. This was accepted.
Archivist Report
Ms. Seemiller stated that she has only received one flash drive back. She wishes to work with Ms. Blackburn about capturing material on the website. Ms. Seemiller also sought past president material from Mr. Trask and Patty. As far as the current board's material, she requested all items be brought to the spring meeting and she can get everything at one time. She is unable to touch the collection in Denver until April so there is really no rush. There are both print and electronic files in the collection. She will design the file structure to mirror the finding aid. Electronic records will be weaved in and not separated by format.
Outreach Report
Ms. Ruttum reported that the home movie day event ended up being canceled. It was difficult to find a location to host the event. Old theaters were too expensive. She suggested planning in June or July so we don't run into the same problem again. Ms. Wallace suggested the International Film Festival in Boulder as a participant, with planning beginning this summer.
In a recent blog about archives, the SRMA newsletter was highlighted. A Twitter workshop has been suggested by a library school student who is anxious to plan an event for the spring. Discussion was held whether it should be tied into the spring conference, such as the day before or after. Perhaps a Saturday or per-conference item. Ms. Gray suggested a poll be taken on the listserv to see how the membership felt.
Newsletter Update
Ms. Stow received positive comments about the new newsletter, which the hard copy has not been sent out yet. She announced that she will try and connect with different states and students and see if they want to give updates on what they are doing.
Spring Conference Update
Ms. Evetts was not in attendance at the meeting. However she did send an update via email and some of the feedback from the last meeting. The main issues were lots of technical difficulties. Ms. Wallace suggested getting presentations ahead of time, purchasing a SRMA laptop for conferences, or hire IT student for the day to help with glitches. Ms. North agreed that the presentations should be obtained before the conference, but she didn't like the idea of purchasing a laptop for conference because it would be moved too much. Ms. Allen asked what type of technical problems arose. One presenter had their PowerPoint saved as a shortcut, laptop battery dying, and obtaining logon passwords. Mr. Trask suggested drafting requirements for hosting institutions to avoid this in the future. Mr. Trask and Ms. Wallace volunteered to draft the guidelines.
Preservation Update
Mr. Fisher is reviewing the preservation and disaster response sections on the website. He recommended adding a link for map preservation. There was also discussion of collaborating with CWAM on disaster resources, since we use many of the same resources.
New Business–SAA
Ms. Allen discussed an email from the president of SAA about creating a forum at the next SAA meeting to talk about the role of regional organizations and how they work within SAA. The goal is to provide more meaningful ways for the various organizations to work together. Ms. Allen wants board members to be thinking about this because representatives will be sent to this forum. One board member wanted to focus on getting digital archivist certification and education. The task force at the SAA annual meeting is looking at providing online simulcasts put on by the regional organizations.
National History Day
Ms. Allen suggested that SRMA encourage archives to participate in National History Day. Ms. Gray has participated in past years and found it to be an amazing day that was very positive and fun. A link on the listserv and a an article in the newsletter where decided for promotion.
CIMA/SRMA Meeting 2013
Ms. North updated the board stating that we verbally agreed to a joint conference in Salt Lake, although nothing was written down. So it is unknown if the event will still be held. CWAM is being held in Golden that year too. Ms. North suggested a collaboration with the organization, where members could attend at the SRMA rate. CWAM is in the middle of May and CIMA is the week before. Although there is usually a business meeting at SRMA's spring conference. Mr. Trask suggested a week apart is really tough for people to attend both and that it would be difficult for the program board members to do both. Although Ms. North stated that they would CWAM would do most of the planning and SRMA members only need to attend. The discussion ended that SRMA is committed to CIMA and CWAM is still up for debate.
Cafepress Sales
There was not much to report from Cafepress sales. The password was sent to Ms. Lowell and Ms. Ruttum.
Implementation Grant
Ms. Gray emailed the notes from the latest implementation grant meeting. There is not a lot of commitment required, except for a workshop. Peer-to-peer experts will be a result of the grant. These are members form SRMA and CWAM, who are provided with training to instruct other institutions what they need to do. A three hour survey would be conducted. Ten people would be needed to serve as the experts. They will go in pairs and be paid $450 a dollars a day. Status updates would be given at SRMA board meetings as well. The Colorado State Library is also participating and they are happy to provide webinars. Ms. Allen asked if they needed a formal commitment. The board loved the idea. Mr. Trask made a motion. Ms. Allen seconded it. And the motion was approved unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:10 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Amy Ziegler

A CAMERA the size of a toffee could soon be journeying though your gut, on the lookout for problems.
Currently, if doctors want to check for ulcers, for example, they have to push a long endoscope down a patient's throat to see the top part, or through their rectum to view the lower end. It's not pleasant, and also misses a large chunk in the middle, inside the small intestine.
Now Paul Swain and his colleagues at the Royal London Hospital have come up with a more effective alternative that's as easy as taking a pilla mini camera that the patient swallows. It measures just 11 by 30 millimetres, and causes no sensation once swallowed.
As well as a tiny video camera, the capsule has a light source and a radio transmitter that sends pictures to a recorder carried by the patient. The capsule takes about 24 hours to pass ...

WHEN the dinosaurs ruled the world, the mammals hid in the shadows, daring to grow no bigger than shrew-like insectivores that hunted at night. Or so we thought.
Two stunning new fossils from China have overturned this preconception. Not only did large mammals live alongside their giant reptilian cousins, but some were big and bold enough to go dinosaur hunting.
Named Repenomamus giganticus and Repenomamus robustus, the sturdily built mammals lived in China about 130 million years ago, around 65 million years before we thought their kind inherited the Earth. At 1 metre long, R. giganticus was big enough to hunt small dinosaurs, and a newly discovered fossil of its smaller cousin, R. robustus, died with its belly full of young dinosaur.
This totally overturns the notion of dinosaur-age mammals as tiny and nocturnal, says vertebrate palaeontologist Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. "Apparently some mammals could ...

Yanling in NYC, New York

Hi everyone,
I am a recent interior design graduate who are new in New York Metro Area.
I been looking for job postings on Craigslist, ASID Job Bank, IIDA Job Bank, Indeed, Monster, Career Builders,archinect.com, and interiordesignjobs.sellisp.com. In additions, I also join Arch4Humanity, and NY Cares, hoping to meet more people. So far with very little lucks.
I am also planing to just go give-out my resumes on designer's office which is listed [url=www.resources.com/architects/newyork.htm]HERE[/url]. Is this a good idea? and where Can I find smaller companies in NYC? I feel like I can do more and learn more in smaller company. Do all showrooms have designer or depends?
I would really appreciated if anybody can give some pointers for new graduates like me on where to go to look for jobs and opportunities.
Thank you all for comments and suggestion in advance.
