Pawley's Island & Litchfield Beach
"Kick back and relax." That feeling is the same today as it was when vacationers first set foot on
the beaches of Pawley's Island and Litchfield Beach. The families of rice planters who owned
plantations on the nearby rivers first settled Pawley's Island in the early 1700's. They moved their
families from their rice plantations on the rivers to their beach homes in May of each year, where
they remained until the first frost in November. This leisurely existence has developed the charm
of Pawley's Island.
Pawley's Island continues to be known for its carefree, laid-back lifestyle. Here you'll find the
white-sand beaches are ideal for walking and collecting seashells; the ocean and surrounding
creeks teem with fish and swimmers; gentle breezes abound for a day of sailing and rope
hammocks are a favorite for after-lunch naps. At the end of each day glorious sunsets will delight
the eye and nourish the soul. With a mixture of centuries-old beachfront cottages and modern
resort-style accommodations, Pawley's Island offers the best of all possible worlds.

Fishing & Boating - With five freshwater rivers, the Intracoastal Waterway, swamps, saltwater
creeks, bays, inlets and miles of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, Georgetown County offers an
endless adventure for boaters and fishermen. The black-water rivers in Georgetown County are
amazingly beautiful and bountiful. Winding through miles of cypress swamp, these waters shelter
bass, bream, warmouth and catfish year-round. Boaters also run up these rivers. They come to
view the native species of birds and other wildlife, and to picnic on the dandy shores that breach
the curtain of cypress and marsh on the water's edge. Murrells Inlet provides boat, kayak, jet
skies, and WaveRunner rentals. You can also fly high parasailing.
Biking- the Neck is a paved cycling and walking trail that meanders through woods, residential
areas and over bridges from Murrells Inlet to Pawley's Island. It encompasses 12 scenic miles.
Beach roads are also very bicycle-friendly and are great for walking and inline skating as well.
Hunting - Gun enthusiasts can head out to the county's back country, where they'll find several
quail-hunting and sporting-clay facilities. During the hunting season, wild turkey, boar, and deer
flock to the county's many wetlands and forests, along Winyah Bay and the Santee Delta. And
don't miss the Winyah Bay Heritage Festival, a celebration of waterfowl decoys and other
hunting and fishing collectibles that have been a part of the region's way of life for more than 300
Huntington Beach State Park- This 2,500-acre park is considered one of the finest bird-watching
domains on the east coast. Among the waterfowl are the great blue heron, snowy egret,
oystercatcher, and eastern brown pelican. Hikers can venture through a nature trail that extends
into the forest and winds along boardwalks in the marsh, where visitors can view alligators from
observation decks. Huntington Beach State Park is a remarkable place of varied habitats for your
camping experience. A freshwater lagoon is home to marsh hens and alligators, and a salt marsh
is a nursery to abundant plants and animals. Surf fishing or fishing from a park jetty is also

Mexico Volcanoes: JJ & Team at Ixta's Altzimoni Camp
Posted by: JJ Justman | October 22, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
Elevation: 13,000'
Hello everyone following the RMI blog. This is the Mexican Volcanoes adventure checking in for the day. Our team made it up here. We are officially on Ixta. We're at the lower hut, had a good day getting up. The weather is absolutely beautiful. Good view of Popo, which is a little bit of a smoking volcano right now in the distance. And a great view of Ixta, which is our objective for the next couple of days. But in the mean time, our group is packing gear and getting everything set. We looked at the tents, everything's in order. So now my job is cut out for me. We're going to do a little bit of cooking here and feed the team. For starters, we're going to go with a tortilla soup, but before that we have a little bit of chips and homemade salsa. And then for our main course, we're having a little carne asada. That was a special recipe given to me by RMI Guide, Dan Windham. Looking forward to making a good dinner tonight, getting our bellies full. We're at 13,000' right now so we are officially acclimatizing. So we're going to have a good evening down here on the lower slopes of Ixta and then tomorrow we are going to move up to High Camp on Ixta. We'll check back in and let you know how everything's going, but all is well. Thanks for following along and we will touch back with all of you tomorrow. Take care. Bye.

at a cost of 1100.00 is ther any way to tell if it is just the plugs? and is this to much? - Visitor
3 Answers
Answer 2
yes ! do it your self - (barring setting the plug gap, if you've never done it before, it is a 15 minute job) a plug, 4 screws (lift) and the 4 spark plugs; repeat in reverse sorry to say (and i have learned from experience) about 60k miles Both things have to be replaced - its best - for the car and the possible headaches if you don't you can get a 'kit' on line for about 250. 00 comes with the DIC and plugs - it is one of the easiest things to do - there is even video on the site that tells you how to do it ... the biggest concern is getting the right DIC for your SAAB - - jontanborge

Hey DC,
I think I see a problem that is somewhat consistent in your face drawings. I did a little redraw of this girl's face. (Actually, I liquified it in PS.) You are missing the contour of the face in a 3/4 view that is caused by the cheek bone and the sunken in eye socket. Compare these two and let me know which one you think shows better contours.
Whatever you do, don't look at my Sketchbook and Painting Thread!

Simple Sugar Cookie Bars
Yesterday was Canada Day…incase you were wondering. Since a lot of my Canadian family is here with my sister and new baby AND because there are fireworks stands on every corner here in Idaho, my husband decided to purchase a few heavy duty ones for our enjoyment and pleasure. So, he took Brooke and 3 of her cousins out last night to pick up a few fun fireballs to play with. Pop its and ginormous sparklers for the kids with a few larger fireworks {called "crazy lady" and "show me the money"} for the adults.
Umm, who names these fireworks? And more importantly, are they hiring?
Pretty sure I could set off fireworks and give each one a funky name. Talk about the cushiest job in the world.
I'm insisting we pick up more for the 4th and updating my resume.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything.
I'm pretty sure everyone and their Mom has a recipe for sugar cookie bars. Everyone except my Mom. She was the one making lemon glazed cookies and stuffed peppers. Cause she's cool like that. ANYWAYS, I've been seeing these recipes pop up all over the web lately and thought I'd make up my own version! Umm, best decision everrrrrrr. These little dudes are amazing, Soft and chewy, tender, sweet and totally patriotic, yo. Also, I love the fact that you just press this dough into bars and bake. Cover the whole thing with frosting and slice. Super duper easy and they taste just as delicious as cut out sugar cookies with much less effort. #winning
Here's how to make them:
Start by creaming butter and sugar together. Add in eggs, vanilla and almond extract and stir some more. Dump in your dry ingredients and voila! Dough is done.
See what I mean by super easy?
Ok, so your dough won't fully come together like, say, chocolate chip cookie dough, but you don't want it quite like that. It will look crumbly, but when you grab a handful, it will hold its shape.
Press it into a 9×13 pan and bake. I put some parchment paper into mine to make bar removal easy, but feel free to just spray really well with nonstick
Aha! Baked bars! Woot. Let these cool to room temp before frosting.
Speaking of frosting, here's a really delicious and simple recipe: softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Whip it all together until smooth, light and creamy.
Spread the frosting in a thick layer all over the cookie bars, sprinkle on some jimmies and cut into bars.
Like so! I love thick and chewy cookies, especially with copious amounts of frosting.
Feel free to add color to your frosting or switch up the sprinkles. You can make these for any event or occasion and everyone will love them! These did not last long at my sister's house and I even got a few requests to make them again already from my nieces! Those girls know good food.
Anyways, here's the printable; enjoy your day, friends!!
Simple Sugar Cookie Bars
Yield: 24 bars
Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
for the cookie bars--
1 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all purpose flour**
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
for the frosting-
1/2 cup softened butter
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons milk
sprinkles, if desired for decoration
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla and almond extract and whip until fluffy. Scrape the sides and stir again briefly. Stir in remaining dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. It won't come together as a dough initially, but if you grab a handful, it should hold its shape. Spread dough into prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
To make the frosting, stir all ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Start by adding 3 tablespoons milk and work up from there until frosting is the desired consistency. Spread over cooled cookie bars and add sprinkles if desired. Cut into bars and serve.
*Be sure to fluff flour first before spooning into measuring cups and leveling the tops. Not fluffing the flour will mean more flour added to the dough and will make for a stiffer end product.

Kids and grown-ups alike couldn't keep their fingers off these on the 4th … I did use only half the icing (and it was p-l-e-n-t-y) but skip the sprinkles. I also cut them in tiny one-inch squares, slightly less decadent and the moms didn't mind when the kids grabbed two or three. Nice work!
Okay, for folks like me who are domestically challenged, just how many cups does one lb. of powered sugar work out to? I know, poor English. Sorry, and thanks.
I used half a bag of a 32oz. bag….16oz. I didn't measure but I'm guessing 3 cups?
way too much sugar if you ask me, I used 16 oz but half that would be more than enough,
These are so easy to make. I doubled the recipe and baked in a large cookie pan/sheet. I forgot to double the frosting but I still had enough to cover entire pan. I left out the almond extract because I'm not much of a fan. They were excellent, tasted like christmas cut outs, and a HUGE hit! Thank you:)
I made these this past week for a friend who loves my sugar cookies. I needed to cheat, as I did not have a lot of time for rolling and cutting, then, frosting. So, made these and they are the BOMB!!!!! Yes, they are and I didn't change a thing. I had frosting leftover for some reason…maybe I didn't spread it on as thick…so now I need to make another batch. They are delicious and so easy! I cut them in really tiny squares as my friend likes small portions. I got a gazillion little tiny squares from this. It is a keeper and a repeater for sure. They are sturdly little squares too, and think I can easily mail them to my other sugar cookie lovers. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! No excuse to not bake from scratch when you have recipes this easy!

I like rock. For the most part I listen to classic rock but I do like the rock for today. I also like most other music to a point but I don't like rap it doesn't do anything for me.
Well I don't have a lot of it but when I do I like to try to go do some outdoor events. Me and my kids like to get out of the house. It is good for all of us and it would be nice to have an adult to go with sometimes instead of my kids.
Last book I read was a text book. I have resonantly finished a MBA and a graduate certificate in project management.

For members of the GOP pained by the outcome of the 2008 election and hoping to build on recent momentum, 2010 is a big election year.Add to that national intrigue the landscape of a local scene where two county commissioners and two local representatives have said they won't seek re-election, creating a scramble for politicians to get into the races. This weekend, the Gwinnett Republican Party is opening a local office to prepare for the upcoming season. "The 2010 election is so critically important," said Gwinnett GOP Chairman Chuck Efstration. "With this headquarters office, we will have a new location to provide Gwinnett voters with candidate information and give Republican volunteers an opportunity to get involved in this election." The headquarters is located at 46 S. Clayton St. in Lawrenceville. Headlining Saturday's grand opening, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon, are U.S. Rep. John Linder, R-Duluth, and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle. Local ballots, so far According to the latest declarations of intent filed with the Gwinnett Elections Office, the District 4 race has caused the most action among candidates. The race for Kevin Kenerly's seat includes Republicans Tommy Hunter, Ron Silver, Tim Sullivan and former Rep. John Heard, while Mark Anthony Williams of Snellville is running as a Democrat. No party affiliation is listed for Ronne G. Haag of Lawrenceville. For District 2, where Bert Nasuti is stepping down, Democrat Robert Lee Byars III will face either Lynette Howard, State School Board member Jose Perez or former Norcross Councilman Keith Shewbert. In the 2010 race for solicitor general, currently held by Rosanna Szabo, Ronda C. Leary has placed her hat in the ring.

Mitch McConnell Should Retire Rather Than Risk Becoming The Todd Akin Of The 2014 Election Cycle
Mitch McConnell is up for reelection in 2014 and although he should be a high priority conservative target for a primary challenge, he has a huge war chest and he's hired Ron and Rand Paul's campaign chairman extraordinaire, Jesse Benton, to try to discourage any Republicans from running against him.
Given Mitch McConnell's horrible poll numbers, the bad news is that it may work.
Although Kentucky remains deeply Republican, McConnell's low approval ratings — the worst of any senator nationally, according to PPP — could make him vulnerable. Just 37 percent of Kentucky voters approve of his performance, while 55 percent disapprove.
McConnell, who eked out a slim victory in 2008, has already begun preparing to fight for reelection. He hired former Ron Paul strategist Jesse Benton to run a "presidential-level campaign in Kentucky," McConnell said in a statement in September.
…One challenger he might not have expected is Judd, who is reported to be seriously considering a Democratic bid. PPP found that Judd would be the top choice of Democratic primary voters, and would trail McConnell by just four points in a hypothetical matchup, 43 percent to his 47 percent.
McConnell led the state's lieutenant governor, Jerry Abramson, and its attorney general, Jack Conway, by equal margins. He fared better against other prospective candidates, with his widest lead a 12-point margin over state auditor Adam Edelman.
Given that Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama by over 20 points in Kentucky, this should be a slam dunk seat for the GOP. The reason the seat is in jeopardy is because Mitch McConnell is so incredibly unpopular in the state. In that sense, it's a lot like the situation we had in Missouri this year. Claire McCaskill was wildly unpopular and just about any Republican should have been able to beat her, but even though Akin knew his poll numbers showed he was in deep trouble, he selfishly insisted on running anyway. So, we ended up blowing a seat to feed his ego. Well now, we may be in the same boat in Kentucky because McConnell refuses to read the handwriting on the wall.
Mitch McConnell is 70 years old and he's been in the Senate for 28 years. Isn't it time for him to step aside for the good of the Republican Party?

Michele Oka Doner
|Michele Oka Doner
|1945 (age 69–70)
Miami Beach, Florida
|University of Michigan
|Known for
|Artist, Author
Michele Oka Doner (born 1945, Miami Beach, Florida) is an American artist and author. "The breadth of her artistic production encompasses sculpture, public art, furniture, jewelry and functional objects…Oka Doner is perhaps best known for her numerous public art commissions, including…Radiant Site, at New York's Herald Square Subway and A Walk on the Beach at the Miami International Airport… Whether large-scale architectural projects, or intimately scaled objects… Oka Doner's work is fueled by a lifelong study and appreciation of the natural world, from which she derives her formal vocabulary…Ultimately, it is her curiosity and wonder that provide the driving force behind her work…Her art is the rich by-product of an inquisitive mind…Through her devotion, Oka Doner has learned to speak the language of the cosmos, acting as a sculptural interpreter of nature's vast lexicon."[1] "Beyond its strength and beauty, Oka Doner's work defies categorization, blurring boundaries between art, design and architecture."[2]
Early life[edit]
Born and raised in Miami Beach, Oka Doner is the granddaughter of painter Samuel Heller. Trained in fresco at the Odessa Drawing School, Heller immigrated to New York and continued his studies at the National Academy of Design. He painted ceilings at the Metropolitan Opera House on 34th Street, c. 1906. Dorothy Heller, his artist daughter, studied with Hans Hoffman, exhibited at the Whitney Museum Annual (1957), the Carnegie International (1959), the Stabile, Pointdexter, Tibor de Nagy and Betty Parsons galleries.[3] The artist's father, Kenneth Oka, was elected judge and mayor of Miami Beach during her youth (1945-1964).[4] [5] The family lived a public and politically active life. In later years, Oka Doner co-authored, with Mitchell Wolfson Jr. Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden,[6] an intimate portrayal of Miami Beach from the 1920s to the 1960s using their families as prisms to reflect the times. Reviewed as classic of social history,[7][8] with material that was part of the public record of its time, it was used as a textbook in Human Geography at George Washington University in 2008.
As a child in Miami Beach, Oka Doner absorbed the natural world around her. "Miami Beach is primal in my work. It was a place that fascinated and nurtured me, with the forces of nature, the dramatic thunderstorms, the extraordinary light.[9] In 1957, age 12, Oka Doner, fully engaged by science and the processes of the natural world, began a year-long independent project studying the International Geophysical Year (IGY). She assembled a book of drawings, writings and collages that become a template for projects realized in later years.[10]
In 1963 Oka Doner left Florida for the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her art instructor Milton Cohen was experimenting with The Space Theater and George Manupelli began the Ann Arbor Film Festival. Their students were engaged in poetry, dance, light, music, all combined into a unitary vision, a motif that shaped Oka Doner's student years and is characteristic of her work today. Oka Doner participated in a Manupelli experimental film, a "Map Read" performance with art drawing instructor Al Loving and Judsonite dancer Steve Paxton as well as several "Happenings." Another influence was art historian and Islamic scholar, Oleg Grabar, who illustrated how patterns in architecture are able to dissolve space.
A Death Mask, one of her first works, was selected as the cover of Generation, [11] the University's avant garde journal, as campus unrest over the Vietnam war escalated. Her Tattooed Porcelain Dolls were adopted by students protesting the U.S.'s use of Napalm, causing disfiguration. "The curious tattooed porcelain pieces of Doner are rather disturbing truncated body parts, as if eaten away by some leper. These bizarre open-stomached puppets, tattooed like the natives of the Amazon, or exhibiting configurations resembling those of certain sea shells, their heads (when they have them) with eyes closed, moth half-open and brain visible, fall into the category of surrealistic objects, but with a surrealism filled with a sap which is naive, barbaric and young."[12]
Oka Doner received a Bachelor of Science and Design from the University of Michigan (1966), a M.F.A. (1968), was Alumna-in-Residence (1990), received the Distinguished Alumna Award from the School of Art (1994) and was a Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker (2008). Science Benches were commissioned by the University (1990), and her work can be found in the collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art[13][14]
Early career[edit]
Upon graduation in 1968, Oka Doner established a studio in downtown Ann Arbor behind the art gallery "Editions, Inc.," where physicist Lloyd Cross and sculptor Jerry Pethick were experimenting with holography. Using a krypton laser, they created the first art holograms. One of Oka Doner's sculptures was appropriated for this experiment. The "Ceramic Doll" opened in the world's first exhibition of holograms at the Cranbrook Academy Art in 1970.[15]
NBC's cultural reporter, Aline Saarinen featured other ceramic dolls on the Today Show on November 4, 1969.[16] These sculptures traveled to the Edinburgh College of Art in conjunction with the Festival in 1973. They were featured on the front page of the Financial Times in a review by art critic Marina Vaizey.[17]
Oka Doner moved to Detroit and exhibited at the Gertrude Kasle Gallery in 1971.[18][19] In 1975, a new body of work, Burial Pieces was laid out on the floor of Gallery 7, then a Cooperative Gallery of black artists, lead by Charles McGhee. It was the first of many installations that shed pedestals and traditional ways of displaying sculpture. A one person show at the Detroit Institute of Arts followed in 1977. Works in Progress,[20] also forsook conventional props. Oka Doner installed on the floor of the North Court thousands of pieces of clay depicting images of writing and seeds in the process of germinating. In 1979, The DIA initiated a small group exhibition, "Image and Object in Contemporary Sculpture," including Michele Oka Doner, Scott Burton, Dennis Oppenheim, and Terry Allen, which traveled to P.S. 1, New York. "To this viewer, the best work in the show is that of Michele Oka Doner, who makes fossilized relics of clap-bones, plants, primitive idols, and large pelvic-shaped structures that metamorphose into grisly chairs. She has elegantly translated these rudimentary forms into real objects of art."[21]
Public Art[edit]
In 1981, Oka Doner moved to New York City and embarked on a series of public art installations. In 1987 she won a national competition sponsored by the MTA's Arts For Transit Program with Radiant Site[22] a 165 ft. long wall for the Herald Square subway station in New York City. "Consisting of 11,000 gold luster titles, Oka Doner said she wanted to create something that would soothe the commuter… 'The amount of aggression in the City is already overwhelming. I think of the project as a spiritual sculpture.' "[23] The same year Celestial Plaza was commissioned at the American Museum of Natural History.[24] The late architect Morris Lapidus said of "Celestial Plaza, "By laying these forms at our feet, she encourages us to stop and search the sparkling expanse for landmarks just as we would search the night sky."[25] This was the genesis for many installations including the River of Quintessence at the U.S. Courthouse in Laredo, Texas, Flight at the Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C., and A Walk on the Beach at the Miami International Airport. Oka Doner understood the floor as an unused canvas. For the Federal Courthouse in Gulfport, Mississippi, Oka Doner designed a security screen, Wave & Gate (2003).
Miami International Airport[edit]
Oka Doner's best known artwork is A Walk on the Beach (1995, 1999), and its extension, A Walk on the Beach: Tropical Gardens (1996-2010) at the Miami International Airport. It is composed of over 9000 bronzes embedded in terrazzo with mother-of-pearl. At one and quarter linear miles, it is one of the largest artworks in the world.
"Doner has chosen to express herself in public spaces, on a large scale…A Walk on the Beach…inspired by the marine flora and fauna of Florida is embedded into a ground sewn with inclusions of mother-of-pearl. More than walking on the beach, experiencing the piece is like being suspended in a celestial vault, surrounded by marine constellations and fossil comets, or rather walking along the bottom of an ocean where the milky way has become ship wreck. Doner has invented an astonishing, paradoxical map, where 'below' and 'above' are reversed, one overturned into the other; and yet the sense of wonder overcomes the vertigo of the upheaval of the natural order."[26]
A Walk on the Beach has been adopted by the community as one the "8 Wonders of Miami."[27]
Sculpture and Exhibitions[edit]
"Throughout her career, Oka Doner has retained a fascination with the human form. Oka Doner's recent figurative work represents a culmination of her synthetic vision, integrating analogies among plant, animal and human life."[28]
"Oka Doner has created a new sacred art…rooted in the sense of the sacredness in nature…Her pantheon of gods and goddesses…bespeaks her pantheism: her conviction…in the 'unity of all things.' Her figures are deeply rooted in nature, and nature takes root in her figures…Oka Doner's coral figures are implicitly ocean growths and as ambiguously animal, vegetable, and mineral as coral itself, and as such consummately original, both as art and as an expression of life's bizarre complexity."[29]
In 2009-2010, Oka Doner installed SoulCatchers, approximately 400 shamanistic sculptures in the kiln room at the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactury, Munich, Germany.[30] "The world itself has a soul, found in the human capacity of imagination. It manifests itself in dreams and fantasy, poetry and art."[31]
Additional SoulCatchers were exhibited at the Marlborough Gallery, New York (2008) and Frederic Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan (2009)
For the past decade, Oka Doner has been represented by Marlborough Gallery New York.
Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan; Germans Van Eck, Diane Brown, Art & Industrie, Willoughby Sharp and Marlborough Gallery in New York];[32] Studio Stefania Miscetti in Rome; and Gloria Luria Gallery in Miami, Florida.
Recent solo exhibitions include Neuration of the Genus at Dieu Donne Gallery, New York, NY,[33] where she was interviewed by artist, Adam Fuss[34] and "Exhaling Gnosis"[35] at Miami Biennale, December, 2011 through April, 2012. Her first video, A Walk on the Beach premiered at Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 in the public screenings "Art Video" program in SoundScape Park on the 7000 square foot outdoor projection wall of the New World Center.[36]
Her work is in collections worldwide, notably the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Cooper-Hewitt, New York; La Musée Des Artes Décoratifs, The Louvre, Paris; The Wolfsoniana, Genoa; The Art Institute of Chicago; The Virginia Museum; The St. Louis Museum; The Dallas Museum of Art; The University of Michigan Museum of Art; The Yale Art Gallery; Princeton University Art Museum; and the Perez Art Museum Miami.
Oka Doner has received the Award of Excellence from The United Nations Society of Writers of Artists, the Pratt Legends Award from Pratt Institute, New York, the American Institute of Architects Citation Award for 'Art In Architecture' for "Wave and Gate" at the Dan. M. Russell Jr. U.S. Courthouse, Gulfport Mississippi, the Certificate of Excellence for 'Art in Architecture' from the American Institute of Architects for "Celestial Plaza" New York, New York, the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Stamps School of Art and Design, the University of Michigan, an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Fine Arts from the New York School of Interior Design, the Best of Show Award and the First Place Award in Concrete Artistry from the American Society of Concrete Contractors for "Micco" (Doral Park Pavilion) City of Doral, Florida, the Honor Award from the National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association for "A Walk on the Beach," at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, the Concrete Industry Board Award for "Celestial Plaza," New York, the Standard Ceramic Company Award and the Lydia Winston Malbin Prize at the Detroit Institute of Arts. She has been an Artist in Residence in the Invitational Residency Program at the American Academy in Rome, and a Michigan Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Fellow in Residence at the University of Michigan. She has received grants from the New York State Council for the Arts, The Kress Foundation, The Samuel Rubin Foundation, the Reed Foundation, The Roy and Niuta Titus Foundation, The Dorothea L.

2012 Who's Hot & Not
Week 3
Who's Hot ... Week 3
Who's Not ...
10. The SMU Passing Game
Has June Jones suddenly changed his offensive philosophy without warning anyone? This was supposed to be the year that the Mustangs really cranked up the run-and-shoot now that Texas transfer Garrett Gilbert was available to the program behind center. Instead, SMU ranks 113th in the country in passing efficiency. Gilbert is having trouble getting the ball downfield, especially in Saturday's 48-3 loss to Texas A&M, and is getting precious little help from his wide receivers or his offensive linemen.
9. Houston QB David Piland
It turns out that plugging a new quarterback into the Cougars pass-happy offensive system is a lot trickier than many assumed. Piland, the successor to record-breaker Case Keenum, was horrifying in two games for 0-3 Houston, which is off to one of the most disappointing starts in the country. In the opener, he was outclassed by Texas State, completing just 17-of-44 passes. And over the weekend, the sophomore was picked off five times in a lopsided loss to UCLA. Backup Crawford Jones might want to keep his arm loose, because new head coach Tony Levine won't accept such poor play for much longer.
8. Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips
Whatever is hotter than the hot seat, Phillips currently resides on it. Despite being in just his third year in Lexington, this was going to be a pivotal season in the coach's career. The Wildcats have already lost to two in-state opponents in the first three weeks. Okay, so Louisville was favored in the opener, but Kentucky wasn't even competitive. And then on Saturday, the 'Cats did the unacceptable by losing at home to lowly Western Kentucky. Phillips' kids trailed throughout, eventually falling on a two-point conversion in overtime.
7. The Virginia Tech Offense
The hope around Blacksburg was that junior QB Logan Thomas would be able to compensate for an offense that had to replace RB David Wilson and a few of his best linemen. So far, it's not happening. In two games with FBS opponents, the Hokies have been brutal offensively, rushing for 155 combined yards against Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh. The offensive line is not getting the job done, a feature back has yet to emerge and Thomas has been a big disappointment in his expanded role. The quarterback has run for only one score, and seems to have regressed as a hurler.
6. USC (versus Stanford)
You can't blame Andrew Luck on this one. The Trojans have now lost four straight to the Cardinal, and five of the last six, but this one probably stings the most. Ranked No. 2 in the land, USC was supposed to be the better team, and certainly had the better player under center, Matt Barkley. However, it simply got roughed up in the northern part of the state, unable to slow down hard-charging RB n Taylor, and incapable of keeping No. 7 off his back. The Trojans are still the Pac-12 South favorite, and can still wind up in the Rose Bowl, but by getting exposed, they may have played their way out of the National Championship race.
5. Tennessee (versus Florida)
When will the misery end for Vols fans and players? Tennessee has now lost eight straight games to rival Florida, including Saturday evening's collapse in front of a deflated Neyland Stadium crowd. The Volunteers had a second-half lead, and were generally playing well, but allowed the final 24 points during a frustrating implosion. The Gators are the better team, but they're also in the heads of Tennessee, a program that must be wondering if it'll ever break through and win again in this series.
4. South Florida on Thursday Nights
Yeah, it's cool to get a primetime showcase game in front of a captive national audience, but not so much when you consistently melt down when faced with the opportunity. Unable to build on the momentum seized in a rousing win over Nevada a week earlier, South Florida flopped in Tampa versus Rutgers to fall to 0-9 all-time on Thursday nights. Ultra-erratic Bulls QB B.J. Daniels was—as usual—a part of the problem, throwing three picks, and completing less than half of his passes.
3. The Wisconsin Offense
The situation in Madison is bad, and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. Okay, so the Badgers weren't going to sufficiently replace Russell Wilson with Danny O'Brien, but isn't this the same program that perennially cranks out elite blockers, who pave the way for a relentless running game? Through three games, against Northern Iowa, Oregon State and Utah State, Wisconsin is a hard-to-fathom 94th nationally on the ground, and has averaged just 16 points a game. The team normed 3.6 yards a play over the last two games, barely escaping the Aggies on Saturday.
2. Preseason Heisman Favorites
The hunt for the hardware is wide-open as the season enters the first quarter turn of 2012. Just prior to the start of the season, Matt Barkley was the heavy frontrunner, with Montee Ball, Denard Robinson and Tyler Wilson not too far behind. Three weeks in, all four will have to overcome substantial hurdles. Barkley may have played his way out of contention with Saturday night's effort at Stanford. Ball has been pedestrian, the product of poor support. Robinson was a non-factor in the opening day loss to 'Bama. And Wilson missed Week 3 with a concussion, a good thing since his Razorbacks were annihilated at home. A new leader? Way too early to tell, but the path to New York City is no longer steeped in rush hour traffic.
1. Arkansas
This season, which was once filled with so much hope, has slowly begun to circle the drain for the Razorbacks. It's hard to determine what was worse, losing to Louisiana-Monroe in Week 2 or getting utterly garroted by Alabama in front of the home crowd this past weekend. The defense has no pulse, the staff doesn't appear to have a clue and those dreams of an SEC title are fading as fast as John L. Smith's future as the Arkansas head coach. QB Tyler Wilson will return and RB Knile Davis will locate his groove, but the Hogs are beginning to realize that this year is not going to end the way they had hoped.
Who's Hot ... Week 3

Its probably just as well all the new generation circuits have tarmac run off areas. If they didn't and still had kitty litter, Vettel and others would have been well beached. They maybe don't gain places because the rules say they can't, but being so aggresive and using the run offs as an escape route when it doesn't work isn't all that good. Vettel benefitted with that a few times at the start. Pity about Ferrari, but I reckon if they sort out their small problems quickly enough, they'll give RB a strong run for their money. Raikonnen will be the one to watch.

It's always nice to see members of the Glee family make strides beyond the show, so let's all celebrate the news that Dot-Marie Jones has been cast as a guest star in the Chelsea Handler pilot Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea.
According to SplitSider, Jones — best known as Coach Beiste on Glee — will play a lesbian prison inmate whom Handler (played by Laura Prepon) befriends after a DUI arrest. Fun fact: The part was originally earmarked for Roseanne Barr.
Don't worry, though. As far as we can tell, Coach Beiste isn't leaving McKinley anytime soon.

Hong Kong
Restaurants in Hong Kong
This city has experienced a culinary explosion and today the glut of excellent restaurants in Hong Kong can feel overwhelming. There are sleek top-floor spots with stunning city views to noisy, hole-in-the-wall noodle joints, and everything in between. One of the best restaurants in Hong Kong is the Chairman, but be sure to make reservations at least three weeks in advance. Thanks to discreet vibe, outstanding food, and reasonable prices, tables book quickly. More casual restaurants are now preparing dishes to rival those of their fancier peers. One of the best is On Lot 10, a small, unassuming French restaurant whose chef has worked alongside Alain Ducasse and prefers to shop at local markets for the seasonal ingredients he uses to prepare his dishes. But there are enough Hong Kong restaurants that everyone can find something they love to eat, whether it's Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, or Indian. Our recommendation? Stick with classic Chinese.
This is the only restaurant in Hong Kong to get three stars from the 2009 Michelin guide, and the locals were not all pleased. Sample harangue: "These French [Michelin] people, what do they understand? They only care about the view.
There's no need to settle for one culinary style at this vast international buffet, located on the seventh floor of the Island Shangri-La hotel.
The famous Longjing tea leaves from the Hangzhou region make the stir-fried freshwater shrimp taste sweet and earthy, but the star of the show is missing from the English side of the menu—the smoked yellow croaker, an unremarkable, bottom-dwelling creature that, in the hands of the Tin Heung Lau
The long menu of à la carte Cantonese dishes here includes Chinese-style chicken soup and stir-fried scallops with vegetables in zesty XO sauce. Dim sum fanatics can get their fix with choices like pork and mushroom dumplings and steamed pork buns.
Go to the 25th floor of the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, for the sweeping views and gold-plated dim sum such as Wagyu beef–and–black pepper puffs and foie gras-and-prawn rolls.
The glowing harbor from this restaurant's 28th floor window resembles a nautical Times Square with boats beating their way across the water, framed by a skyline garishly lit with the names of troubled American banks. The men's room is already infamous.
There's no need to settle for just one restaurant at this Kowloon food mall, part of the Wonderful Worlds of Whampoa. Across from the cruise ship-shaped Whampoa shopping center, this high-rise houses an assortment of dining options.
Chi Lin Vegetarian, a restaurant inside the Chi Lin nunnery in Nan Lian garden, a stunning Buddhist temple complex in Kowloon; its isolation has allowed it to develop a unique school of contemporary vegetarian Cantonese food. Its new garden restaurant abuts the Silver Strand waterfalls.
Located in the city's SoHo district, Lotus is self-labeled as modern Thai. The front of the restaurant is open-air, making it great for watching the crowds, while the exposed brick and high ceilings are reminiscent of a big-city loft.
Owned by world-famous chef Alain Ducasse, this Michelin two-starred restaurant is located on the ground floor of the InterContinental Hotel, overlooking Victoria Harbour.

Details of GM Bankruptcy EmergeWritten by Steven J. DuBord
More information about GM's Chapter 11 bankruptcy is beginning to emerge. The Kansas City Star reported on June 2 that this is "the biggest such filing by an industrial manufacturer and the fourth-biggest in U.S. history. It will also be one of the largest peacetime nationalizations of private enterprise." In addition to the $20 billion the federal government has already pumped into the company, President Barack Obama has announced that another $30 billion in taxpayer money will be committed. This will bring the government's ownership stake in GM to 60 percent.
The Obama administration's efforts to borrow the U.S. economy into prosperity are meeting more and more skepticism on Wall Street as investors in the bond market are fleeing the U.S. debt market for greener investment pastures. The understandable skepticism of bond investors has forced the U.S. Treasury to increase the interest yields on 10-year Treasury notes, increasing the interest burden of new debt on taxpayers by more than 60 percent since December.
GM Files Chapter 11 BankruptcyWritten by Charles Scaliger
After years of suspense, the bankruptcy that surprises nobody is finally official. One of America's largest and proudest corporations, GM, has filed for Chapter 11 protection in what is being billed as the fourth-largest bankruptcy in American history and the largest ever for an industrial corporation. The failing auto company claims $82.29 billion in assets against almost $173 billion in debt — this, be it duly noted, after billions in federal government bailout monies were shoveled GM's way.
Obama's IMF Sneak AttackWritten by William F. Jasper
A hundred and eight billion dollars — $108,000,000,000. Not exactly an eye-popping sum anymore, in an era of multi-trillion-dollar annual budgets and multi-trillion-dollar annual deficits. Still, even with government spending streaking into the stratosphere, $108 billion is not mere chump change, especially when it's leveraged as seed money.
Will the Obama spend-a-rama finish off the dollar as the world's reserve currency? It well may, and sooner than most people think. Any day now we may wake up to headlines announcing that the International Monetary Fund's SDR (Special Drawing Rights) is being adopted as the new global currency.

You talking to me? There are a lot of players on the tour that lack a bit of personality, but Juan Monaco is definitely not one of them. Maybe it's his Latin flare, or his goofy smile, but his practice sessions are always fun to watch, even if it is just for the faces he makes while playing. It's always a good show. What do you think Pico is thinking in these pictures?

Overall Experience
Not very impressed
June 30, 2015
Typically stay at Holiday Inn Express, was not up to par at this location. Pool was closed, dead insects in threshold of room. Room was relatively clean but would not opt to stay here again if given the choice. key cards did not work on all exterior doors. no breakfast buffet, no communication during the booking, maybe holiday inn has spoiled me.
Very nice place!
June 30, 2015

Great Halfway stop!!

Nice Room

Clean comfortable hotel with friendly staff. Only issues were the fire department next door and this particular property is currently under renovation so you have to enter through the back door which is a little inconvenient but temporary.

Tokyo International Show Report 2014
Having landed back in the UK, this years TIAS show report arrives a little later than last years and also from the more grounded surrounds of the bustling Wilson Benesch HQ. It is a fine thing to arrive back in a warm and sunny autumnal South Yorkshire, from another vintage audio show and find a fleet of new CNC machines working flat out to produce parts for the new loudspeaker that you have just launched on the other side of the planet. The Endeavour has barely begun it's voyage and it is already a huge success for the company.
But I digress, the Tokyo International Audio Show 2014 has been a highly rewarding and enjoyable experience. Following the relaunch of the brand in Japan last year with the Cardinal, Wilson Benesch returned this year with both the Cardinal and the new Endeavour loudspeaker placed proudly at either end of one large exhibition room.
The Cardinal and the Endeavour were not in short supply of reference quality audio electronics. Partnered on one side by the world class electronics of CH Precision and on the other by another set of class leading electronics in Constellation Audio. The results were, as one might expect, nothing short of astounding. Stella Inc. has a long history for importing some of the finest audio products from around the globe and have a vast amount of experience to put together highly professional audio demonstrations that run like clockwork. And the Endeavour did not disappoint. Each presentation from company directors Christina and Craig Milnes filled every seat and the feedback was very warm and positive.
Wilson Benesch would like to extend our gratitude to all the team at Stella Inc. and Zephyrn and to each of those who attended the show and came to see us.
A collection of images of the show can be seen using the lightbox below.

Hello! My name is Kelly. I'm a long-time member on FF, and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about site navigation or just in general. Some things about me:
I love reading and writing and tv watching.
I busy myself with far too many activities and courses, but I love them all too much to give any up.
I am fluent in English and Spanish in addition to taking French courses.
I started taking college courses at 16. Though it helped me, I generally consider it an unwise decision.
I will finish all of my stories. Eventually.
I am Catholic. That being said, I do not believe in imposing my personal belief system on others and respectfully ask that you do the same.
I greatly enjoy rock and alternative music.
My support system of friends is my lifeline.
TV is amazing and awesome and I am possibly addicted to Netflix.
I have been dating the most amazing boy for a long, long time. So long that when I stop to think about it, my first reaction is "Dang, I'm old!" (Second reaction is smiling and general warm fuzzies.)
Thank you for being considerate!
I have created each and every one of my fanfic covers (except for TLLF), either using public domain pictures or by hand on MS Paint working pixel by pixel. I'd love to hear feedback on my covers (if you liked them or didn't), so let me know! If you have any questions about any of my covers, feel free to ask in a review or in a PM.
Keep Writing, Keep Reading, Keep Reviewing!
Thanks for your support in reviews and favorites/alerts. They mean the world to me!
