Responding, Schwarzenegger did outline plans to study "conveyance" options for the delta. But he also vowed to continue environmental repairs and proposed cutting per capita water use in the state 20% by 2020. The senators seemed mollified. "You cannot declare an end to the water wars," one veteran marveled, "but [they are] more civilized than they were 24 hours ago."
In California water politics, things don't get much better than that. Especially when it comes to the peripheral canal, the very name of which unsettles old-time Northern Californians.
The fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is home to more than 700 native species, half a million people and 1,100 miles of levees. California transports water to 25 million people through the delta, pumping it through the region's waterways and into the California Aqueduct. This has been devastating to the local ecosystem. Last year, a judge shut down the pumps when the population of the delta smelt crashed.
Because disruptions in the delta mean diminished water supplies -- it has been estimated that the smelt shutdown will cut exports from the region by a third -- engineers during the 1960s proposed building a canal to connect the Sacramento River directly to pumps at the southern end of the delta. The idea was to separate flows from threats such as earthquakes, floods and environmental edicts. The peripheral canal, as it became known, has been a lightning rod ever since. Widely viewed as a Southern California water grab, it was defeated in a 1982 initiative campaign by a 3-to-2 margin.
Today, thanks to new research, we know that building a canal might not be a bad thing for the delta's ecosystem -- especially if it's accompanied by statewide conservation and mitigation efforts. A peripheral canal might stabilize the delta and help restore its fragile environment, while also protecting a reasonable volume of exports to Southern California and the other parts of the state that rely on delta water.
For that to work, Northern California must abandon its reflexive opposition to the canal. Maintaining the status quo -- a strategy the governor says he will also evaluate -- probably is not a realistic option. If climate change or a natural disaster were to level the delta and contaminate the water supply, a less-optimal, slapdash fix might worsen the situation.
Here in Southern California, our responsibility is to learn why the delta matters to us and to provide assurance that we won't squander its bounty. We must make wiser decisions about development. And we must conserve. All users of delta water, from the residents of Silicon Valley to farmers in the Central Valley, must heed these hard truths.
Last week's events suggest that Schwarzenegger and the Legislature can still move this conversation forward, evaluate options honestly and lead North and South through the tough choices that we all must make to save California's environment and its water supply. This glass of water might be half full after all.

Murakami's image-intensive narrative paints a portrait of a group of friends locked in a destructive cycle of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Representing a sharp and conscious turning away from the introspective trend of postwar Japnese literature, this book polarized critics and public alike and soon attracted international attention as an alternative view of modern Japan.Edition/Copyright: 77

Stern confident new NBA ball will win over players
Updated: October 11, 2006, 1:05 PM ETAssociated Press
COLOGNE, Germany -- NBA commissioner David Stern suspects complaints about his league's new ball will go away -- just as they did in soccer.
Some of the NBA's biggest stars, including Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade and Steve Nash, have said the ball is sticky when dry and slippery when wet.
"To make me feel better, I went back and looked at reactions when Adidas introduced its new soccer ball," Stern said Wednesday. "There was virtually identical commentary."

Thread: Storing Paintings
March 31st, 2011 #1
Storing Paintings
Hi all,
For those of you who paint in oil, how do you store old paintings? I painted on gallery-wrapped canvases and continue the painting on the sides of the canvases (That way, a client can just hang the piece, if they don't want to purchase a frame for it). Since I sell my paintings at art shows/craft fairs and I have 8 shows coming up this fall (including a gallery showing in the winter), I need a location to store my inventory for the shows. This means that I've got a lot more paintings that won't fit on my walls.
Now, the paintings that I would store are already varnished. My basic procedure is to do the painting, lay it flat for a couple of weeks (so that it get's to the dried/tacky state), then hang it on my wall to finish the drying process. After 4 - 6 months, I then varnish it (I use thin layers).

Hmmm...mine are usually dry within a few days at most and I spray them with Kamar varnish - let that dry a few hours and shelve them. But I don't work very large and I work on panel usually.

Retouch varnish then those canvas separator double sided tacks?
That should allow the varnished paintings some airflow and you should be able to store loads of them in a smallish area?
Use the tacks on the edges that will normally be obscured by the frame rabbet.

Thanks for all of the comments. I like the idea of the metal/plastic shelves. I also hadn't thought about making sure that there's airflow around the painting.
I think that I'm going to get some plastic shelves from Walmart (they're pretty cheap), line the bottom of them with wax paper, then put the paintings on it (back-to-back) with a card-board piece (lined with wax paper on each side). That should give me enough storage room to store a lot of paintings (granted it would be better if they sell quickly, but can't have everything).

(Well, I suppose below a certain size they may be stiff enough not to, but I rarely work on anything small enough for that malarkey.)

Hello T.F.K., yes I'm still here and in fact never stopped lurking, enamoured as I still am with concept art in general despite my own paintings veering much more toward "fine art" instead.
And 7" x 5"? Blimey, I'm not sure I even have brushes that small! Joking aside I have recently begun painting on 12" x 8" panels and have yet to get over the claustrophobia with those...
To the topic at hand though you are right, something both that small and that (relatively) thick is never in eons going to warp lent up by just a lone corner on the wall.


text: Heading into the 2013-14 NHL season, it remains to be seen who will accompany Matt Moulson and John Tavares on the New York Islanders' top line. The most likely candidates are free-agent signee Pierre-Marc Bouchard and 20-year-old Ryan Strome. That line will need to produce if the Islanders are going to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a second straight season. But the No. 1 line can't do it alone.

Ideological Differences Between Whigs, Republicans and Democrats in Iowa, 1838-1860: Real or Illusory?
Cook, Robert H.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectPolitical parties--Hisotyr--Iowa--19th century; Iowa--Politics and government--History--19th century
The problem. There has long been historical controversy surrounding political parties of the Jacksonian period. This thesis focuses on Iowa's political parties in the legislative process to determine whether there is ideological concensus or conflict on selected issues in the period from 1838 to 1860. Procedure. Issues of political interest were selected: banking, slavery, the Mexican War, the Compromise of 1850, the return of Jackson's fine and the dispute in Kansas. The thesis followed these issues through the legislative sessions 1838-1860. A study of voting behavior on the issues was compiled as indices of consensus or conflict. Findings. The voting behavior indicated considerable conflict in the areas of banking, the Mexican War, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas dispute and the return of Jackson's fine; however, in the area of internal improvements, the parties found substantial common ground. Conclusions. The voting record on these issues appear to show that in areas of emotional intensity, slavery, the Mexican War, and banks, as well as in areas marked specifically for party loyalty, such as the return of Jackson's fine, party lines were clearly defined. Areas less traumatized by party rhetoric have a concensus based on sectional or county advantage. Overall parties do appear to be ideologically based and in conflict. Recommendations. Additional study of political parties could be profitably taken on issues such as the constitutional conventions, Indians, land policy, schools and the Des Moines River Improvement Commission. Additional scalograms could be compiled in several of these areas. A follow up on election statistics and individual members within party ranks would also be profitable.

Prime Series Rarity
Tied for Second Finest Certified
This piece exhibits satiny surfaces with bright, semireflective fields that are essentially free of any post-Mint contact, save for a single mark below the W of WE, and largely silver-white with light accents of pink and gray at the rims on each side. Portions of each side are boldly struck and portions are weakly struck, not an atypical occurrence for an O-mint Barber half. Light roller marks on the cheek did not strike out fully, but the prime area of softness is, as usual, the eagle's right wing and shield corner, here also extending up onto the neck and head. On the other hand, many of the peripheral stars on the obverse are sharp, and the reverse is pleasingly bold elsewhere. A fine coin for a fine collection, perhaps the finest obtainable example today of this rare issue. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer (10/10).

I miss this website so much. I have always loved writing with anyone and everyone, and though my writing is way bent out of use, I don't forget my characters.
-- even my more shallow ones.
I don't have the will to become active here anymore however, nor the time. The frequent cash advertising kind of dissolved my image of community this website once had, anyways.
I know I've lost contact with my few, close friends (you maybe), but I don't forget you either.

Much of the attention of the offseason has centered on Robert Griffin III as he enters what appears to be a make-or-break season. But what about Jay Gruden? Do we really know if he has what it takes to succeed as a head coach in the NFL?
In today's mailbag, we examine David Amerson's sophomore slump, take a look back at some history, and of course, talk a little Robert Griffin III.

"Just say no" has been many a parent's mantra when it comes to talking to their children about drugs or alcohol. Schools echo that with specific policies against illicit use on school grounds. But do those school policies work?
University of Washington professor of social work Richard Catalano and colleagues studied whether anti-alcohol policies in public and private schools in Washington state and Australia's Victoria state were effective for eighth- and ninth-graders.
What they found was that each school's particular policy mattered less than the students' perceived enforcement of it. So, even if a school had a suspension or expulsion policy, if students felt the school didn't enforce it then they were more likely to drink on campus. But, even if a school's policy was less harsh such as requiring counseling students were less likely to drink at school if they believed school officials would enforce it.
"Whatever your school policy is, lax enforcement is related to more drinking," Catalano said.
The study was published recently in the journal Health Education Research.
The results were similar in Washington, where the legal drinking age is 21 and schools tend to have a zero-tolerance approach, and Victoria, Australia, where the legal drinking age is 18 and policies are more about minimizing harm.
In the study, 44 percent of Victoria eighth-graders and 22 percent of Washington eighth-graders reported drinking alcohol. Victoria students also reported higher rates of binge drinking and alcohol-related harms.
Apart from perceptions about enforcement, harmful behaviors in both states were reduced when students believed policy violators would likely be counseled by a teacher on the dangers of alcohol use, rather than expelled or suspended.
"Schools should focus on zero tolerance and abstinence in primary and early middle school, but sometime between middle school and high school they

Hi guys!
Last weekend was such a blast. Friday night, I volunteered at an event at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, which is maybe 20 minutes from Boulder! This semester I joined a group on campus called APO, or Alpha Phi Omega, which is the co-ed service fraternity. I definitely consider it to be one of the best decisions I've made this year because I have met some amazing people and I have been able to help people in need! I have a couple friends who are in it and they encouraged me to join, and I am so happy I did. I have never been around a group of so many good people, who are friendly, welcoming, and who make sure everyone feels included! A couple of weeks ago we had the Spring semester retreat, which was a lot of fun! We went up to a retreat center near Estes Park, and spent the weekend playing games, goofing around, making bracelets for children in a hospital in Boulder, and having a ridiculous time! We also had the Pledge ceremony, which was fun because I got my pledge pin and it felt very official. Here is a picture of my pledge class!
So back to last weekend. Friday night, I volunteered, Saturday I studied and hung out with friends, and Sunday was absolutely beautiful! It was sunny and around 70 degrees! The field outside my building, in between the Bear Creek Apartments, where I live, and William's Village North, a residence hall, was full of people relaxing, playing soccer and Frisbee, playing instruments, and studying. I took some pictures of that, too! It might not look like there are a lot of people, but you will just have to take my word for it!
After an afternoon of studying and spending time outside, I went to volunteer, again with APO, for Meals on Wheels. We served food to the homeless for about 45 minutes, and we set up and took down all of the tables and equipment. It felt amazing to donate some of my time to such a good cause, and it definitely made me feel super grateful for what I have and how lucky I have it. I personally served green beans, but there was also chili, donated by a chef, and a whole variety of pastries and sweets donated by someone who works for Costco. It feels so good to give back. I am so happy that joining APO has given me the opportunity to experience such a wonderful feeling! Here we are in front of the truck.
Until next time!

In her highly anticipated comeback movie role, Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls) stars as the legendary dame Elizabeth Taylor alongside Grant Bowler (Defiance) as celebrated actor Richard Burton in the Lifetime Original Movie LIZ & DICK, making its world premiere Sunday, November 25, at 9pm ET/PT on Lifetime. Based on the true story of the couple's passionate and tumultuous love affair, the film is from executive producer Larry A. Thompson (Amish Grace) and was directed by Lloyd Kramer (Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven) with a script by Christopher Monger (Temple Grandin).
For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty and their fiery romance -- often called "the marriage of the century" -- was the most notorious, publicized and celebrated love affair of its day. Swarmed by paparazzi worldwide, their love affair was played out entirely in front of the media from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again. Despitetheir roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Liz and Dick shared an undeniable love greater than most people could ever dream of.
Lindsay Lohan is one of the most recognizable faces in the world, having graced thecovers of hundreds of magazines and been in films, television and commercials since she was a child. In addition to being an accomplished actress, Lohan is a sought-after model, fashion designer and singer. She has been photographed by some of the top photographers in the world, and has been featured in photo shoots for the most renowned fashion houses in the United States and Europe. Lohan captured America's heart in her film debut, the Disney remake of The Parent Trap at age 11. Lohan went on to star in such box office hits as Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Her films during the past ten years have collectively grossed approximately $750 million.

When I'm out with my young children, friendly strangers often approach us to smile and say hello. Although I'd like my kids to be polite, I also want to teach them not to talk to strangers. How can I avoid sending mixed messages?

"Don't talk to strangers" has been the mantra of many parents for generations. But contrary to this age-old wisdom, sometimes it's actually a good idea for kids to talk to strangers. Who else will they turn to if they're lost and need help? So, instead of making a blanket statement, it's better to teach kids when it's appropriate to talk to strangers and when it is not.
When your kids are out with you, it's fine to let them say hello and talk to new people. You are monitoring the situation and will protect them. But if your child is alone and approached by a stranger, that's a different story.
Tell your child that if a stranger ever approaches and offers a ride or treats (like candy or toys) or asks for help with a task (like helping find a lost dog), your child should step away, firmly yell "No!" and leave the area immediately. Your child should tell you or another trusted adult (like a teacher or childcare worker) what happened. The same goes if anyone — whether a stranger, family member, or friend — asks your child to keep a secret, tries to touch your child's private area, or asks your child to touch theirs.
Most kids are likely to be wary of strangers who are mean-looking or appear frightening in some way. But the truth is, most child molesters and abductors are regular-looking people, and many go out of their way to look friendly, safe, and appealing to children. So, instead of judging a person by appearance, teach kids to judge people by their actions.
Perhaps just as important, encourage kids to trust their own instincts. Teach them that if someone makes them feel uncomfortable or if they feel like something's just not right — even if they can't explain why — they need to walk away immediately.
So, what happens if your kids are alone and need to approach a stranger for help? First, they should try to find a person in uniform, like a police officer, security guard, or store employee. If there are no uniformed people, grandparents, women, and people with children may be able to help. And again, remind them about instincts: If they don't have a good feeling about a certain person, they should approach someone else.
Although it's not possible to protect kids from strangers at all times, it is possible to teach them about appropriate behaviors and what to do if somebody crosses the line. Keeping these tips in mind can help kids stay safe while they're out and about.

A lesser-powered 5.2-inch take on the G4 could arrive soon, says a Russian website.
Looking for phones? CNET editors' reviews of the best phones include product photos, video, and user reviews.
A familiar source says HTC could introduce a new line of smartphone later this year.
Two more wireless carriers announce pricing and availability for the marquee device.
A lesser-powered riff on the G4 recently appeared on a German retailer's website.
Equipped with a Snapdragon 808 processor, a 16-megapixel camera and a 5.5-inch quad-HD display that's brighter than ever, LG aims high with its latest G4 flagship.
Another 5.2-inch One M9 variant could be in the works, according to details found on China's certification database.
Aimed initially at consumers in South Korea, the new phone will offer them a free screen replacement for the first year and a free 64GB memory card if they buy it by May 31.
The new screen represents a "quantum jump" in brightness, contrast ratio, touch functionality and other key features, according to LG.
LG is expected to reveal the new smartphone at events held simultaneously next month in New York, London, Paris, Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul.
We know a lot about Cadillac's new CT6 model, including its driveline and some cabin tech features, but what it looks like will remain a mystery until its New York unveiling next week.

He pointed to her being questioned for hours, from about 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. when she was exhausted.
"No food, no coffee, no bathroom breaks -- nothing," Moore said, adding that she was interrogated in Italian, which Knox did not speak fluently at the time. "She gave them a confused indictment of someone else … which she recanted after she got some food."
Knox's appeal is tentatively scheduled to begin Nov. 24. A new panel of two judges and six jurors from Perugia will reexamine Knox's case. A decision is expected by March.
Moore said he has no reason to believe he would be allowed to testify at the appeal or that Italian courts would be interested in anything an American had to say in her defense. But he's hoping Italian forensic experts convinced of Knox's evidence will pick up where he left off.
"The final court of appeal is going to be the press, the public," Moore said, charging that the public knows very little about how questionable the evidence against Knox really is.
In March, prosecutors filed an appeal seeking an even harsher sentence for Knox, who was ordered to serve 26 years in prison. The prosecutor is asking that she be sentenced to a life term. Knox's lawyers responded with an appeal in March, which asked for her conviction to be overturned.
Knox's appeal also called for an independent review of the DNA evidence, a request denied by a judge during her trial.
Knox has celebrated three birthdays, missed her college graduation and cut short her famous long locks while in prison. She passes time playing guitar at the prison mass, studying Italian and German and exercising during the one hour she can leave her cell.
"Amanda and I have now spent, her birthday and mine are a day apart, so we've spent the last three birthdays together," Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, told "Good Morning America." "We sing happy birthday for her. This year she got a lot of people. The guards and other inmates were singing to her."
But Mellas said the waiting is taking a toll on her daughter.
"The summer was hard, it's so hot [in the prison]. We tend to talk a lot about what she's doing to cope, but being locked up for a crime you didn't commit is devastating, it's almost unbearable, and she's having a tough time. But you know she's doing what she needs to do," she said.
Italian parliamentarian, Ricco Girlanda, who has said he is trying to soothe the diplomatic tensions that erupted during Knox's case, has visited Amanda in prison.
In more than 20 jailhouse conversations, Girland says Knox told him she one day hopes to adopt children and work as a writer. While Girlanda has not weighed in on Knox's guilt or innocence, he has penned a book about Knox to be released in October.

They no doubt work, but I wonder how long those blades stay sharp. IN a few months time your food might come up more like mush than properly cut cubes. Additionally, if you're lazy and don't clean it properly old bit of food might get caught in the top part.
Buy a chef's knife and practice a few different cutting styles and you'd probably be better off in the long run. I started using a chef's knife properly at the beginning of this year and now I can basically dice, chop, julienne, etc. everything. Plus a knife is easier to keep clean and sharp.
But, if you have no interest in learning knife skills, this product is probably good enough.
Posted 15 July 2014 - 11:25
That sums it up!
For me, there is something very satisfying about being able to use a knife, almost any knife (although, I would argue you really only need about 3* for day-to-day tasks) to cut any food into any style you need.
It is kind of like being able to be diagnose and remedy tech issues: it's a skill I think everyone should have.
*my 3 knives are: a chefs knife, a paring knife, and a serrated (bread) knife. You might need other, specialised knives live a cleaver or a boning knife if you intend to buy meat in bulk and chop it up yourself.
