• Monday: Socks on Fox day;
• Tuesday: Green Eggs and Ham day with a student reading the book to the class;
• Wednesday: Wacky dress day;
• Thursday: Silly hat day;

308 Stripped Upper
they also have $99 stripped m4 style barrels.
JSE normally sells the DPMS assembled uppers "upper with Upper reciever parts" for 160 something so this is still more than that with the upper parts kit they sell.
Good score - J427X, now will my C/C take another hit. Gas & Food prices are hurting my hobbies.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and goverment, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so that the second will not become the legal version of the first" ~ Thomas Jefferson
prices are sort of getting down enough on the 308 AR types for me to consider one.
only thing stopping me is the rather high price of 308 ammo- and gas, and power, and food---and i do have other bills to pay--LOL!
JSE also has good prices on the 308 parts from time to time .
looks like they just got them back in stock for $165!
it is probably the better deal as i don't know what a kit to finish a 308 upper would go for--LOL
DPMS .308 A3 Flat Top Upper Assembled
but JSE only has one left--
Haven't been into AR's for a couple of years, looks like i need to git updated. These are soom very good prices.

Bond Basics
To better understand bonds and bond funds, let's start with some basic concepts.
What's a Bond?
A bond is a loan that an investor makes to a corporation, government, federal agency or other organization. Consequently, bonds are sometimes referred to as debt securities. Since bond issuers know you aren't going to lend your hard-earned money without compensation, the issuer of the bond (the borrower) enters into a legal agreement to pay you (the bondholder) interest. The bond issuer also agrees to repay you the original sum loaned at the bond's maturity date, though certain conditions, such as a bond being called, may cause repayment to be made earlier. The vast majority of bonds have a set maturity date—a specific date when the bond must be paid back at its face value, called par value. Bonds are called fixed-income securities because many pay you interest based on a regular, predetermined interest rate—also called a coupon rate—that is set when the bond is issued.
Bond Maturity
A bond's term, or years to maturity, is usually set when it is issued. Bond maturities can range from one day to 100 years, but the majority of bond maturities range from one to 30 years. Bonds are often referred to as being short-, medium- or long-term. Generally, a bond that matures in one to three years is referred to as a short-term bond. Medium- or intermediate-term bonds are generally those that mature in four to 10 years, and long-term bonds are those with maturities greater than 10 years. The borrower fulfills its debt obligation typically when the bond reaches its maturity date, and the final interest payment and the original sum you loaned (the principal) are paid to you.
Callable Bonds
Not all bonds reach maturity, even if you want them to. Callable bonds are common. They allow the issuer to retire a bond before it matures. Call provisions are outlined in the bond's prospectus (or offering statement or circular) and the indenture—both are documents that explain a bond's terms and conditions. While firms are not formally required to document all call provision terms on the customer's confirmation statement, many do so. (When you buy municipal securities, firms are required to provide more call information on the customer confirmation than you will see for other types of debt securities.)
You usually receive some call protection for a period of the bond's life (for example, the first three years after the bond is issued). This means that the bond cannot be called before a specified date. After that, the bond's issuer can redeem that bond on the predetermined call date, or a bond may be continuously callable, meaning the issuer may redeem the bond at the specified price at any time during the call period. Before you buy a bond, always check to see if the bond has a call provision, and consider how that might impact your portfolio investment strategy.

I can't wait to see what Snyder does. My bet is that he will decide that while his restraint in the past couple of years has helped, he is one or two players from a super bowl team and make some terrible free agent signings and shoot them back into oblivion. There is a reason that this is the first division championship since 1999 (Champ Bailey's rookie year)

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
By Guy from USA on 2009-06-12 00:27:44Things I liked:I'm very glad that I get to be the first person to comment on this rifle. I ordered this rifle in .22 caliber two days ago and it was delivered to my door this afternoon. It came double boxed and arrived in flawless condition. I opted for the 10 for $10 test to ensure I was getting the best rifle possible. Well worth the money. Really. The tech dept gives you a nice certificate that includes your model, the serial number, pellet used for testing, a checklist of tests performed, the tester's name, the date of testing. Stapled to the certificate are the ten shot chrony results. My rifle had a high of 906fps, low of 897fps, and average of 903fps using 14.2gr RWS Super H-Point pellets. First impressions are important to me and this rifle did not disappoint. The bluing is well, black on this model and is VERY rich and uniform. The synthetic stock is a welcome upgrade to the magnum line. The stock is solid, unlike some other brands out there. It makes it a little heavier but also lends the rifle very good balance. The monte carlo cheek rest is raised on both sides so it is a friendly rifle for you lefties out there. The fiber optic sights are bright and adjustments precise. At 48" it is a very long rifle but does not feel awkward or unwieldy. Cocking is very smooth. The cocking effort is a bit on the heavy side but nothing out of line for a magnum spring rifle. All in all I very confidently give this rifle 5 stars. If you are in the market, pick one up. It won't disappoint.
Things I would have changed:I would prefer that RWS make their own picatinny/weaver scope mount. Until they do though, the UTG adapter mount will work. If you use this mount be sure to order LOW scope rings to keep your line of sight close to the bore. I have heard others complain about wanting metal this and that. I have never had problems with an RWS trigger flexing or breaking under stress so I can't follow the flock on that one. With the new durable synthetic stock, there isn't much to improve.
What others should know:If you are looking at a 350 magnum, get the .22 caliber. It will be hard to ever realize the full potential of this awesome rifle in .177. Before you decide to scope this thing up, try shooting it awhile with open sights. It really is fun and accurate.

By Thomas from USA on 2010-05-18 00:08:47Things I liked:Mine is in .177 caliber the bluing is very good and the stock is very high quality. This is one a beautiful gun with a very smooth 2 stage trigger. Will drive tacks with CP 10.5 heavies out to 50 yards and beyond.
Things I would have changed:Make the rifling in the barrel a few thousands smaller so that CP 7.9 lites and other smaller skirt pellets can be shot without having 90 % of the ending up as fliers. The groves in the barrel are so large that the small skirt pellets will not contact the rifling good when inserted into the breech and will fall out if you don't hold the barrel down.
What others should know:This is a great gun for hunting sends 10.5 grain CP Heavy pellets down range at a speed of 966 fps with a 22 foot pounds of energy. Plenty of power for hunting small game.

Hi there, I need a hat to shield my face when I do laps for 4 hours, I purchased a cap last week, but when I got it yesterday, it is not what I need. I was hoping you can help me. I would like to wear a cap with a large front underneath my hood. Any suggestions? I see a couple of dive caps, and wonder if this will hold up when I am swimming, and not fall in my face? Thanks so much.
The ball caps you see on our site are generally simialr if not the exact same as the regular ball caps you find all over. They are designed for wear out of the water to shield you from the sun and not so much for in water use. You could try a surf cap, although I'm not certain that it will have enough of a bill for you.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.
Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body is unable to produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays a key role in helping sugar (glucose) — a major source of energy for your muscles and other tissues — enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternate fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if untreated.
If you have diabetes or you're at risk of diabetes, learn the warning signs of diabetic ketoacidosis — and know when to seek emergency care.
Diabetic ketoacidosis signs and symptoms often develop quickly, sometimes within 24 hours. For some, these signs and symptoms may be the first indication of having diabetes. You may notice:
More-specific signs of diabetic ketoacidosis — which can be detected through home blood and urine testing kits — include:
If you feel ill or stressed, or you've had a recent illness or injury, check your blood sugar level often. You might also try an over-the-counter urine ketones testing kit.
Contact your doctor immediately if:
Seek emergency care if:
Remember, untreated diabetic ketoacidosis can be fatal.
Sugar is a main source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and other tissues. Normally, sugar enters your cells with the help of insulin. If you don't have enough insulin in your body, your body won't be able to use sugar properly for energy. This prompts the release of hormones that break down fat as an alternate fuel. In turn, this process produces toxic acids known as ketones. Excess ketones accumulate in the blood and eventually "spill over" into the urine.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is usually triggered by:
Other possible triggers of diabetic ketoacidosis may include:
The risk of diabetic ketoacidosis is highest if you:
However, diabetic ketoacidosis can also occur if you have type 2 diabetes, although this is uncommon. In some cases, diabetic ketoacidosis may be the first sign that a person has diabetes.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is treated with fluids, electrolytes — such as sodium, potassium and chloride — and insulin. Perhaps surprisingly, the most common complications of diabetic ketoacidosis are related to this lifesaving treatment.
Treatment complications include:
Left untreated, the risks are much greater. Diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to loss of consciousness. Eventually, diabetic ketoacidosis can be fatal.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening medical condition. If you develop mild signs and symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if:
A medical provider who sees you for possible diabetic ketoacidosis will need answers to these questions as quickly as possible:
If your doctor suspects diabetic ketoacidosis, he or she will do a physical exam and various blood tests. In some cases, additional tests may be needed to help determine what triggered the episode of diabetic ketoacidosis or what damage the ketoacidosis may have caused.
Blood tests used in the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis will measure:
Your doctor may order tests to identify underlying health problems that may have contributed to diabetic ketoacidosis and check for complications. Tests may include:
If you're diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis, you may be treated in the emergency room or admitted to the hospital. Treatment usually involves a three-pronged approach:
As your body chemistry returns to normal, your doctor will consider what may have triggered the episode of diabetic ketoacidosis. Depending on the circumstances, you may need additional treatment. For example, if you have previously undiagnosed diabetes, your doctor will help you create a diabetes treatment plan. If your doctor suspects a bacterial infection, he or she may prescribe antibiotics. If a heart attack seems possible, your doctor may recommend further evaluation of your heart.
There's much you can do to prevent diabetic ketoacidosis and other diabetes complications.
Diabetes complications are scary. But don't let fear keep you from taking good care of yourself. Follow your diabetes treatment plan carefully, and ask your diabetes treatment team for help when you need it.

Camera+ for iPhone - app review
Camera+ for iPhone is a photography application that allows you to take photos and edit them. tap tap tap claims Camera+ is "all about one thing - GREAT PHOTOS!" How does Camera+ hold up to this expectation? Follow along to find out.
When you launch Camera+, you will be looking at the back of camera with a view finder. Under the viewfinder, where there would normally be a screen on a digital camera, there are two options: take photos and Lightbox. Behind the camera, you can see a little of what your iPhone's camera can see. Inside the viewfinder, you'll see a very small version of exactly what your camera sees. Tap on the viewfinder or "take photos" to take a picture.
When taking a photo, there is a 3x3 grid to help line up your shot (optional). There is also a stabilizer which will not snap the picture until the iPhone is held still. This is great for low light situations or when you are zoomed in (up to 5x).
The Lightbox is where you go to view all the photos you've taken with Camera+. The Lightbox is designed with filmstrips containing 3 photos each and is very visually appealing. None of the photos save to your camera roll until you tell it to. This is great for keeping your camera roll clutter-free of photos you don't want. Tapping a photo brings up options to edit, save, copy, or share. Double tapping a photo makes it larger and provides the same options.
There are 4 different ways to edit your photos: scenes, crops, effects, and borders. Scenes is similar to the different modes you might find on a digital point and shoot camera: auto, flash, sunset, night, backlit, portrait, beach, scenery, concert, food, and text. There are 9 different common crop ratios available. The 21 different effects are categorized as color, retro, and special. I am impressed with all the options and quality of these effects. They are fun and look great. There are 7 different borders to choose from. Most are very basic; the only "fun" one being "instant" which makes your photo look like it was taken with a polaroid camera.
Overall, I was impressed with Camera+. The plethora of good effects makes the app worth it alone. Camera+ does a great job of producing great photos.
[$1.99 - iTunes link]
- Unique UI
- 5x zoom, stabilizer, and grid available when taking photos
- Creatively designed Lightbox to scroll through pictures
- Many scene modes, crop ratios, borders, and effects
- Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr
- Support for multitasking, Retina Display, flash, and front facing camera on iPhone 4
- Access photo library to edit photos not taken with Camera+
- Landscape only supported when taking and viewing photos
- Cannot view photos in full screen
- Saving a photo to camera roll removes it from the Lightbox

Camera+ for iPhone - app review
Ah. I'm sorry, I never realized this. But based on what you say, this would be an OS problem, not an app problem, correct?
I'm talking about the UI. Taking and viewing photos in landscape is supported, but when using all other aspects of the app, you have to be in portrait. I'll update the review to make that more clear. Thanks.
LOL!! Probably because I'm pregnant and breathing isn't exactly as easy as it used to be... especially when sitting on the ground.
Is this a good option for a single-app replacement of the standard Camera app? Or is there another one you'd recommend?
And am I reading that pictures taken within this app will retain no location information? Or does it correctly save this information within the camera roll so it's there when syncing?
I'm surprised that there's no mention of what is arguably the best feature of Camera+, the ability to set focus and exposure individually. Tap/hold to focus, then use a second finger to set exposure (see promo video on their site). This lets you focus on an area that would otherwise result in an under or over-exposed photo. In my use, that alone has been worth more than any of the filters, etc.
Massie, this feature wasn't available at the time this review was written. But you are right, that feature is very awesome.
@Josh. When you say "Once you save your photos to the camera roll the metadata is preserved when you sync the photos to your Mac and PC". I don't get it. It does not work for me when I copy the photos from the iPhone to my PC using Windows Vista. Global Delight support told me loss of EXIF tags was an iOS issue.
Actually you CAN view full screen...first, double-click on the home button and scroll to the furthest left and click the portait orientation to make sure it is unlocked. Second, hold down the power button on the top right of your iPhone until you are prompted to 'slide to power off'...then after it powers off hold that button down again until it reboots. You should be able to view photos full frame after this. A side note about the loss of exif data on a pc, some of your photos will be full frame but sideways so that you have to cock your head to see the photo correctly. I believe this is from the loss of exif data because the camera should save the orientation data.
I 'exported' all of my light box.. the camera got a call and poped me out of camera+.. i lost ALL of my photos.. since it erases the photos out of lightbox BEFORE it confirms it has been transferred properly.. now i am afraid to do transfers!!

In the very early days of the faith, it was quite dangerous for a person to announce that they are Christians to just anyone. When a man would meet another one in the road, he would draw a half arc in the dust with the end of his walking staff. If the other man was also a Christian, he would know what that meant and draw the other arc, making the shape of a fish. This way they would know they were in friendly company. So, it was kind of like a secret handshake.
Cousin states?The USA is practically a province of my little speck on the planet. So many Dutch names. That's actually where the nickname Yankees come from.Many where religious refugees.About the footy Taffy. Don't worry if you can't spell cup. No need for that unless you read foreign newspapers.

In general I buy a 27 if the material is stretchy and a 28 if the material is not. I bought these in a 28 and loveeee them! But i definitely noticed a sizing error when trying them on in store-- Initially I picked up a 28, and could not get the pants on AT ALL; it seemed like I was trying to put on a size 25. I put that pair back, and picked up another 28 and had no issue. Maybe there was an error during manufacturing with the labels? Anyway, the pants are fab. If you're not sure what size to get just measure your natural waist and choose the appropriate size because these cords don't really stretch. Happy shopping! 9.2.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by hhumh good quality for the price i love these skinnies! they look and feel real good for the price, and i adore free people's ivory color. the only reason i rate them with 4 stars is that the fit is rather loose in the bottom area. if you haven't been blessed with any kind of bum at all, you probably won't find this fit superflattering. this is the only con i could find, though, so i would recommend buying these pants to a friend. 12.19.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jillytrim Nice pants, run small I bought the black/olive color. Really nice pants and I love the color (more olive than black...) but they definitely run small. Had to exchange my 27's for a 28. I'm normally a size 26 or 27, so I figured ordering a 27 would give me a little extra room...not at all! Also, don't bother paying for the $10 2nd day air shipping...it took a week to arrive! The second pair, which was sent via standard shipping, arrived in three days.... 12.4.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by NEK tight I normally wear a 24, 5'4 105. these are a TIGHT 24. The black olive was lighter than the photo and very marbled which i will return. The navy was a nice shade of blue and the marbling was less noticeable, i will keep those. They feel stiff, maybe after a few washes and fabric softener they will wear in well. 11.30.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by missjeanne "Dusty" Olive These cords are super comfy and fit similar as pictured. They're the perfect winter pant. I would give them 5 stars, however, I was disappointed that the "Black Olive" color that I was so thrilled about turned out to be more of a dusty, faded olive shade. I feel as if they name the colors of their items post adding the filters to their photos. This seems to be a recurring issue when I shop FP online. 11.29.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lefrym run a bit big! I wasn't sure whether to order my usual 24 or size up to a 25 just in case (I know that FP sometimes runs small) and especially since I wash/dry all my pants, I opted for the 25. They are a bit loose - not saggy, but more of a boyfriend fit. If I had tried them on in the store I definitely would have gone with the 24, but online returns are such a hassle so I'll keep the 25s. I love the wysteria color though. Very good quality, especially for the sale price. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase. 11.1.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kaitambro TOO skinny I couldn't resist the price on these cords but I should have known it was too good to be true. Iâm 5â4â 120 with I guess larger than normal thighs and butt. The waist of the 27â fit perfectly but was ridiculously tight on my thighs that I am going to have to return. 11.1.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by JMoe Great color Love the color (coffee) of these pants. They are fairly tight in the legs, especially around the calfs. However I wouldn't recommend sizing up because if I had they would have been too big in the waist. I'm hoping I can break/ wear them in and they will be more comfortable. However as I have recently learned free people jeans/ pants fit me great. They aren't too gappy, great for someone like me with a flat butt. Also I find the rise to be just right, and something I feel very comfortable in. 10.11.2012

BOONVILLE - For a team chock full of freshmen needing a confidence boost, first-year head coach Doug Chilton was afraid his young Rams squad wouldn't pick up win No. 1 until January.
Fortunately for Chilton and the Rams, they got that elusive first win under their belt in the Mountain Valley Conference opener Tuesday night. Starmount used a 22-point fourth quarter to power past West Wilkes, 53-48.
"This was major. For our young kids to get a conference win, it really helped the confidence," Chilton explained. "I thought our defense did real well. We struggled in the second and third quarters to get some scores; we tried several different types of offensive sets. About halfway through the fourth, we got the right combination of people in there and we got some fast-break points. Then we got a couple of baskets from Heaven and Miracle and it broke it open. We were down two points and that put us up six with less than a minute to go. That pretty much put it on ice.
"But for these kids to get a conference win at this point of the season, we were worried it might be January before we'd get a win. But I think we have three more conference games before Christmas, and I think we might be able to win another one or two," he added.
In a balanced scoring night, three players scored at least 13 points to power Starmount. Guilford College prospect Heaven Walters led the way with 16 points, while sister Miracle Walters and Darion Dobson added 15 and 13 points, respectively.
The Rams grabbed a 12-6 lead after one quarter of play, but the Blackhawks dropped 17 points in the second frame to take a 23-21 lead into the break.
After the teams traded buckets evenly in the third, Starmount exploded for their largest single quarter performance of the season (22 points) to close out the five-point victory, 53-48.
Stepping aside from MVAC play for a night, the Rams were unable to find the same rhythm against a tough North Surry squad Wednesday night.
The Lady Greyhounds, who advanced to the Elite 8 of the 2A state playoffs last year, opened on a 12-0 burst and led 19-6 after one quarter.
"We came out really flat, especially after playing [Tuesday]," Chilton said. "We were concerned about their height and how good they were and we just didn't play as hard as we could. We picked it up a little bit in the second quarter and got a little more fire out of a few of them in the second half. But this game was more about getting some younger players some experience.
"We just wanted to try and polish some things. This is non-conference, so it's just for experience for our group that doesn't have a lot of experience," he added.
Starmount hung around and kept battling, but North cruised to the 57-33 victory.
"That's one of the points we're trying to emphasis. I don't care who we're playing, they've got to really go after it," Chilton said. "Even though we're behind 15 points on the scoreboard, doesn't mean we can't play hard. Because when it comes down to play somebody and we're only down one point with 10 seconds to go, we better know that we can go out there and do some things and execute.
"We just have to learn that and I think we're making steps in that direction," he added.
The Lady Rams return to the court Tuesday against Ashe County in West Jefferson.

This post comes as a complete shock as I thought that I was the only one to be experiencing such a problem. I am suffering severe issues with the Internet access on my iPhone 4S and as a result vodafone issued me with a new SIM card to try, this didn't work and therefore presumed it was my handset. Despite being in contact with vodafone via email not one member of staff has made me aware of an issue with iOS 6.1
What is strange is that when I connect my ipad to my iphone via hotspot the Internet works perfectly, it's only on the phone that I lose the ability to connect to the Internet or it runs extremely slow.
Here is the last reply I received from vodafone yesterday:
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for your reply.
Since you're still experiencing slowness in browsing internet with a replacement SIM, it seems it's the device causing the issue.
We can't confirm it until the handset is checked. Since you're unable to use the SIM in another handset device, can you visit any Vodafone store so that they can identify the issue? If it's found to be faulty, it will need to go through the repairs route.
I appreciate your patience in the meantime.
Many thanks.

"YIVO and Recovering the Lost World of East European Jews"
Jonathan Brent, Executive Director, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
YIVO was founded in Poland in 1925 by a visionary group of Jewish intellectuals, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, who understood the unique and largely unrecognized impact of Yiddish culture on European civilization. These community leaders were deeply concerned that the culture of East European Jewry was undergoing radical change in a rapidly modernizing world. Communal activists and intellectuals worked tirelessly to collect the records of Jewish communities across Eastern Europe, years before the Holocaust. Now in New York, YIVO has been able, through unusual circumstances, to recover much of its vast archive that had been stolen by the Nazis. Dr. Brent will discuss this remarkable history, as well as the continuing influence of Yiddish culture on other cultures to the present day.

Ice Land
Paul Schmelzer
Jan 2012
Uncharted territories, even in a relatively sparsely populated state like Minnesota, are few and far between. But each January, when the average temperature lingers around 7 degrees Fahrenheit, one such place comes into being, briefly, on the frozen surface of Medicine Lake, where artists reimagine ice-fishing shacks as the locus for a vibrant pop-up community.
Frank Gaard on Dionysus and Dualism

It's taken 32 years, but Frank Gaard's Walker solo show marks a homecoming of sorts for the Minneapolis-based artist: Poison & Candy is the painter's first solo show here since 1980.
Tombstone for Phùng Vo

"Here lies one whose name was writ in water." So reads the inscription on a black stone with gold-leaf engraving that will be installed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden next spring. A work by Danh Vo, it will reside here until the death of the artist's father, when it will travel to Copenhagen to mark Phùng Vo's final resting place.
The Oculus Inhabited
Paul Schmelzer
Dec 2011
Like some alien organism deep in the core of the machine it controls, Elizabeth Simonson's biomorphic, bead-based sculptural installation is recessed into the aluminum-clad ceiling just inside the Walker's Hennepin Avenue entrance. Commissioned for the space, which was dubbed the "oculus" by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the complex and intricate work is intended to suggest biological forms.
Nathalie Djurberg's The Parade
Eric Crosby and Dean Otto
Dec 2011
Primal and chaotic, Nathalie Djurberg's art "doesn't look like anything else out there," says Eric Crosby, co-curator of the artist's first major US museum show. In an interview, he and the Walker's Dean Otto discuss how Djurberg's claymation and sculptures fall outside conventions of both the film and contemporary art worlds, while channeling a "universality of experience that speaks to us all."

Dec 2011
British designer Anthony Burrill is known for using older technology, namely Victorian wood type, to create posters bearing upbeat, quirky mantras like "Work Hard and Be Kind to People" and "Clear Your Head." But he's well aware how social media is changing design—and propelling his ideas around the globe.
The Muscle of Art: How Cunningham and Rauschenberg Inspire Us to Flex

"Activity and open curiosity support the muscle of art," Robert Rauschenberg once said. His work with choreographer Merce Cunningham actively embodied this idea, spanning more than 20 collaborations, five decades, and countless creative and pragmatic challenges.
The Problem of Paint

Dec 2011
The Walker registrar faces myriad challenges — from "weeping Barbie syndrome," which plagues art made from PVC, to cold storage for a famed choreographer's fur coat — but none is more prevalent than the problem of paint: protecting and preserving outdoor sculptures ravaged by sun, time and water.

Jumping from the '80s activism of ACT UP to the oil fields of Iraq, the death camps of World War II to 9/11, The Smiths to The Golden Girls, Jim Hodges' World AIDS Day film offers striking context for both Felix Gonzalez-Torres' art and the continuing struggles for social change today.

Interesting Things
- An internal project has migrated to Ruby 1.86 and Mongrel 1.0.1 with no ill affects, with the bonus that this combo fixes a known memory leak in Mongrel.
- Ruby Fu: it was pointed out that Ruby method argument defaults can refer to other arguments to that same method:
<code> def wrangle_monkey(x, y = x + 1) # Above, `x + 1` refers to to method argument `x` end </code>
- One project wrote a super-cool rake task that helps manage JSUnit servers and test runs. Talk to A.C. if you are interested.
- Rails Helpers and template's use of erb is…weird. Details are blurry and the developers who discovered the issues should post the heavy stuff on this blog, but suffice to say don't be surprised if you have trouble working with the erb output stream in your helpers.

Goose Creek High Schools fight to be reinstated to the playoffs came to a fruitless end last week but the real scuffle could be just beginning.
To hear Gators football coach Chuck Reedy talk, anger and frustration toward the South Carolina High School League Executive Committee is boiling over statewide in the wake of its heartless treatment of the Gators that has stoked fires and memories of past executive committee decisions gone awry.
The committee erased Goose Creek from the playoffs for using an ineligible player after the school self reported a potential violation following its first-round playoff victory over Conway. The player is a special needs student on a non-diploma track that played just 17 snaps out of nearly 1,600 during the Gators 13-0 season. He never entered a game Goose Creek wasnt winning by at least 41 points.
In 38 years of being associated with coaching football and athletics, Ive never seen such a total disregard, not only for the truth but, a lack of care or concern for kids, Reedy said. (On Monday) there was obviously no interest by this committee to get to the truth. They had their mind made up.
At the heart of Reedys comments is the harshness of the penalty and the widespread devastation it caused the Goose Creek community. A self-reporting team was given the same treatment as one who would knowingly cheat. The Charleston-area also had no true representation on the 18-member committee since GCHS Principal Jimmy Huskey was not allowed to vote.
Theres a difference between killing somebody and speeding, Reedy said.
The issue began when Huskey discovered a problem on the players transcript while reviewing eligibility for basketball on Nov. 12. The transcript had been updated since the athletes eligibility review in August for football and showed four prior years of high school. The original showed just three years of high school and that the student-athlete last attended Berkeley High School in 2011-12, so he cleared the eligibility process at that time.
Reedy and Huskey notified the SCHSL within 90 minutes and were promptly booted from the playoffs, leading to the week-long saga that has ultimately seen the Gators repeat title shot slip out of their grasp. The extra year on the transcript was from Woodmont High School in 2008-09.
At the time, he was at Generations group home in Simpsonville, a home for abused boys. He did receive credit for completing some freshman work at WHS but he never physically attended classes at WHS.
Lawyers for Goose Creek and the school district argued the student-athletes eight semesters of athletic eligibility should have begun in 2010 when he first attended high school at Berkeley.
According to the SCSHL constitution, enrollment is defined as actual matriculation (complete registration) and physical attendance in classes for one day.
It is very frustrating and certainly it makes you think is this the kind of association you want to be a part of, Reedy said. What I would like to be a part of is making changes in that association.
State senators Larry Grooms and Paul Campbell have joined the fight with Goose Creek.
There is going to be a bill pre-filed to revoke the charter of the South Carolina High School League, Grooms said.
The ultimate goal, though, is to shake the SCHSL to its senses and encourage a more fair disciplinary system. The one-size-fits-all style of punishment often is more than is required.
I would hope it wouldn't go that far (revoking the SCHSLs charter), Grooms said. I would hope the league would institute laws that would allow due process and fair hearings for a team like Goose Creek that's done nothing wrong to play for a state title.
Campbell, a Goose Creek resident, echoed Grooms comments.
They made a huge mistake and it's really about fairness, Campbell said. This whole system attacks the kids that we're trying too help. High school sports are about winning but it's also about protecting the people involved in the sports. This action attacks the coaches that are trying to do their job. It attacks the administrators that are trying to do their job. The South Carolina High School League is going against the coaches, administrators and the kids.
Huskey remains hopeful everything can be cleaned up down the road so future SCHSL's punishments at least fit the crime.
"This high school league is set up to be run by the people," he said. "We feel like it has lost its way and is being run by a certain group, and I'm part of that group. I feel like the people need to be represented. All 52 schools in Class AAAA, principals and athletic directors have a voice and need to have their voice heard in March when we have our conference in Charleston.
Changes have to be made, Reedy said. I dont know that what they did to us helped anybody at all.

Mission Statement:
The Center for Reproductive Rights uses the law to advance reproductive freedom as a fundamental right that all governments are legally obligated to protect, respect and fulfill. Reproductive freedom lies at the heart of the promise of human dignity, self-determination and equality embodied in both the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The power of law, in turn, ensures that this promise will not ring hollow. Laws and legal norms will, in the end, determine whether women will be free to decide whether and when to have children; whether they will have access to contraception, abortion, healthcare information, and safe pregnancy care; and whether they will make reproductive healthcare choices without coercion. Changing laws and legal norms does not immediately change the reality of women's lives, of course. But, when integrated with other strategies, the law is a catalyst for fundamental social change.

From Bill Barker, bus No. 1 driver
I am doing a contest for students who ride bus No. 1 – Lincoln p.m., Rainbow Park-St. Malachy a.m., and St. Malachy School a.m. and p.m.
I didn't give candy out for Halloween for 280 who ride ol' No. 1. The school doesn't encourage it, and they seem to have plenty.
The contest is to describe a bully and/or a victim and what should you do about it?
There will be three first prizes and 15 runners-up, three $5 winners and 15 $1 each. Students will have a choice of McDonald's gift books or cash.
We start the week of Nov. 5 through the 7th. Optional to all.

They just announced that they've hired back 3 people, and feel that they are on track to keep up with monthly updates.
I think the OP is overlooking that the fact that they've been working hard to get out systems like the trading house, lfg and auxiliary weapons. With that stuff largely done, and with part of the team being hired back, they should have no problem adding more "content" to the game each month. I know from twitter that they've been recording VO work for future missions.

Secondly, my stance towards chronic haters shouldn't be a surprise, since it has come up a few times in my discussions with you. Which is why you probably chose to pick that part from my post and thus do your usual derailing of a thread or debate. Chronic haters, regarding any game btw, remind me of that story where a 19th century spoilt rich kid whines and goes in a tantrum bc his toy got broken, while outside starving kids do everything to survive on the streets. Hating and campaigning against banks or for politics or the manyh injustices in Africa or child labor etc, do as you must. But against a game or game company as some do? [mod edit]

You see that wouldn't even occur to me, to check the previous 'form' of somebody I am having a discussion with. I wouldn't even view that as relevant. Bashing or trolling in a sense from your perspective appears to be saying anything negative about Funcom or their games. I post a lot of negative stuff about Funcom, but it doesn't mean from time to time I might not post a point of relevance. But by the sounds of it, any point I have to make is probably not viewed with any relevance because I have been labeled. Why I replied to you was because I had noticed a similar pattern in other discussions.
Secondly, my stance towards chronic haters shouldn't be a surprise, since it has come up a few times in my discussions with you.

You are quite covert I will admit that, for want of a better word. How it goes from a simple discussion about questioning somebodies character to starving children, banks, politics, child labor is quite beyond me. Next thing you will be comparing me to some long dead or living Dictator. Again trying to devalue opinion by making comparisons against things that have no relevance to this particular forum or discussion.

Too easy isn't it, point the finger at somebody saying something negative. Call them a troll, question their motives, question their character and then for good measure drop in a comment on the discussion itself after the fact. As I mentioned before it's an underhanded way of derailing a thread and to question what somebody has said, without actually having a discussion. Another ruse appears to be trying to end the dicussion by saying it's now derailed, yet the people initially derailing the thread where those calling into question the OP's character. Which was not a relevant factor.

I love fallenlords.
Also yea, seems the updates are getting smaller. It's a simple fact. Look at the numbers.

The game isn't "sinking". They said in an interview with Eurogamer the game is profitable now. But of course, you could say they're lying which would just begin a senseless argument on no merit. Sticking with what was said, myself.

Disagree. This upcoming patch is adding a new system to the game (the theatre), the games first raid and some more missions along with bugfixes and such. The one before had less content IMO. If we could get a new game system and endgame activity along with some missions or a new weapon every month (weapon as in weapon type with it's own skills like the Rocket Launcher. They already hinted at a new weapon coming soon) I'd say my $15 is put to good use.

TSW is the only real thing propping Funcom up at the moment. So even if the game is profitable it doesn't mean it's sustainable. It has to fund the whole company in a way and in order to make TSW profitable they had to half the workforce. The game hasn't been a success. The only real hope is that with these monthly updates they can introduce aspects that people find enjoyable enough to sub. Or in the long term (if you believe what you are told) hold enough interest for people for when the game goes free to play.
Quarterly report, Funcom issued their last quarterly report August 2012.
It didn't make good reading it basically stated Funcom were reducing costs, moving out of the MMO industry etc. You can catch it online they have to publish it for their investors. But please consider they are trying to put a positive spin on a negative situation.

They have a positive cash flow on all their other games, but the earnings from those games are shrinking, especially from age of conan. Revenues from TSW isn't shown in the report apart from the prestart money at end of june. The development costs and launch of TSW cost them a lot of money, and the reason they cut costs isn't because they are currently losing money on TSW (because they are not), but to give them the financial muscles to fund new projects.
Funcoms biggest problem is that the financial failure of tsw has removed most of the funds to develop future MMO titles.

They were in a negative cash flow situation prior to the launch of TSW. They expected to be in a positive cash flow situation after. At the moment they are in survival mode, their 'new product' isn't doing very well at all. Their old products are coming to the end of their lifecycle. Apart from a couple of projects - one bizarre one being resurrecting a Lego MMO (which has crashed and burned before) and some Fashion thing. They have exactly squat going forward. Hence they are changing their focus, away from MMO's. They are treading water at this time and who knows what might happen with the insider trading allegations, share price etc.
Funcoms biggest problem is they had all their eggs in one basket. For some strange reason, known only to them, they thought TSW would be an amazing financial success. They misread the signs, misread the market, misread the timing and misread basically everything.

Hell, you don't even count the release of a new Auxillary weapon in update 2, you're so desperate to make the game look bad. Depending on the extent of the Halloween event, all three updates are about the same size, with the second one being just a bit smaller than the other two.

Is it totally impossible that the (temporary) Halloween event opens permanent content..?

Ah yes, the Quarterly report from... August. That report has been disected 20 different ways since it was published, not just on MMORPG.COM but numerous gaming websites... not to mention being discussed thoroughly on the TSW forums as well. Nothing in that report is in dispute - Funcom was expecting a much higher number of box sales than materialized. Numerous layoffs did happen, and a bunch of re-organization did occur within the company. Again, none of that is in dispute.
However, since that report was released, TSW has nonetheless released several updates, Ragnar is still working on TSW along with John Bylos, and a number of interviews with both are being released to the public. Issue #4 - Big Trouble in the Big Apple is slated for release with the New York raid, and we're currently in the middle of Issue #3 - The Cat God, which contains content which hasn't been 'flipped on' yet - a rather cool idea, IMO. Whether the updates up to now is considered 'large' or 'small' is, obviously up for debate - but the simple fact is that since that 'doom and gloom' report was released, TSW has continued to release content updates. Three people have been re-hired to the TSW dev team - not a huge number, granted, but a positive sign nonetheless. The Newcomers sub-forum is quite lively - both with CoX refugees and new players who took advantage of the recent half-off box sale that Funcom offered. This is not the picture of a decaying game, no matter how desperately some want TSW to fail. Yes, issue #2 was delayed - quite a bit, which is understandable considering both the upheavals in the company/development team and the exploit bug (one of the moderators described it as seeing a Tarrasque in Kingsmouth - google the beastie if you're unfamiliar with D&D), but it was released.
The next benchmark will be the next quarterly report released by Funcom. As a TSW 'fanboi' (I do love my rose-colored glasses!) it is my hope that this report will show that, while income from TSW is still below what Funcom originally expected, there is a steady increase in new players/subscribers. Since Funcom has already deemed TSW as 'cashflow positive', the addition of new subscribers - as long as they outweigh the inevitable number of players who are no longer playing, will be a positive thing.
We'll just have to wait and see.

It is pretty amusing to see... especially with the recent good news being released (3 people being rehired, Issue #3 being released with Issue #4 on the way, the influx of new players etc. etc. etc.) - it's apparent that the 'gloom and doom' posters are getting more defensive and angry as their cherished goal of TSW falling apart becomes less and less likely. Sure, they had their moment to crow 'Ha! I was right! I was right!' back in August but now, the facts are surely moving away from their opinion and they're getting more desperate.
Actually, I amend my original statement - it is pretty funny to see, but it's also pretty pathetic too.

Why does this tubular tire that was supposedly designed with Cyclocross in mind have recommended inflation pressure of 30-90 PSI? Most cyclocross tubular tires will be run with pressures in the mid 20s to mid 30 PSI.
Erik Hammerquist
Due to vittorias having a high tpi, they are very supple. So at lower pressures like common for cross tubs, these will get punctures. When riding them at the recommended pressure they will feel a lot lower in pressure because of how soft and supple they are.

By far the best racing tire on the market. I won't race on anything else. Great for all course types and weather conditions.

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and several other members of the state congressional delegation asked the U.S. Department of Energy to follow through on building the MOX facility at the Savannah River Site.
In a letter to DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz, Scott asked for completion of the facility to uphold the country's agreement with Russia to dispose of 68 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium.
The letter was signed by Scott, as well as other leaders, including U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., and U.S. Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C.
"As you are aware, the President's Fiscal Year 2014 budget proposes significant cuts to the MOX program, which if enacted undermines America's ability to uphold the PMDA (Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement), abandons our international commitment to dispose of 68 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium, places additional burdens on the taxpayer that could reach over $1 billion, and violates commitments made to the state of South Carolina," Scott wrote in the letter.
Scott also cited recently reported figures on employment impacts in the letter. According to an economic impact study commissioned by the Savannah River Site Community Reuse Organization, the 500 MOX layoffs could strip $42 million from the local payroll in five surrounding counties. These include Allendale, Barnwell and Aiken counties in South Carolina, and Richmond and Columbia counties in Georgia.
"With this unfortunate news in mind, we would like to take this opportunity to extend an official invitation to visit SRS in person to see firsthand the critical programs underway at SRS that rely on support from the Department of Energy," Scott added in the letter. "This visit will give you an opportunity to gain a better appreciation of not only the work being done at SRS but also the site's significance to the surrounding communities."

We have more details on Hanson's SXSW benefit for Japan. There's no live concert element to the show that fans can attend — it's a live-streaming telethon only. Hanson has taken over a studio in downtown Austin at the SXSW music fest, inviting musicians to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami by either performing or stopping by for a chat from noon on Saturday (March 17) through noon on Sunday (March 18).
Among those participating are Michael Stipe of R.E.M., John "JoJo" Hermann of Widespread Panic, the North Mississippi Allstars, The Boxer Rebellion, AWOLNATION, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and many others. Hanson will perform multiple times throughout the telethon. An album of performances from the telethon will be available for download at iTunes. Donate at SXSW4Japan.org, proceeds go to the American Red Cross.

Getting prepped for back to school means more than buying pencils and book bags. It also means keeping your children healthy and ready to learn.
From preschoolers to teenagers, each student should have an annual well-visit at a pediatric or family medicine practice. If your child is overdue, try to make an appointment for these last days of summer or otherwise as soon as possible. "It's a good time to remember, let's get our checkup," says Dr. Kristen Hood Watson with Trident Family Health.
At Trident Family Health, an annual exam includes a vision and hearing check to ensure children can hear the teacher, read materials and see the whiteboard. You also want your children to be up to date on their immunizations, and while that may seem like something for younger kids, there are important shots for teens and tweens, too.
For example, health officials now recommend that 11- and 12-year olds receive a meningococcal conjugate vaccine and later have a booster shot at or after age 16, when they enter the highest risk period for meningococcal infection. Otherwise, they might be vulnerable to developing meningitis or sepsis, which can lead to disabilities and even death. "It used to be a vaccine associated with teenagers going to college, but it's actually given at a younger age," says Dr. Watson.
Dr. Watson recommends that you keep a current list of your child's immunization records, which should be available from your child's primary care provider. That way you will be prepared should your school or day care need a copy. If you are behind on scheduled vaccinations, she says, don't think it's too late. "We have a way of catching them back up on their immunizations." And once the fall starts, she reminds that it is important for everyone to get a flu shot. "Children have a greater exposure when they are in a school with hundreds of kids."
For children who take daily medications or have chronic conditions, the new school year is an important time to check in with the school nurse and the child's new teacher to make sure an action plan is in place and that they have all the information and supplies that they need. In the case of chronic conditions, Dr. Watson says, she will often write back-up prescriptions, for example, an extra inhaler for someone who has asthma. "Children spend so much of their time at school. It's important that that they have the same rescue medications there as well.
To schedule an appointment with Trident Family Health, please call 843-572-8277.
Callout: "Children have a greater exposure when they are in a school with hundreds of kids."

By Kari Richardson, Special to the Tribune
October 25, 2013
From the blue porch ceiling to the missing 13th floor, home can be a superstitious place.
When builder George Dakis has a spec home to sell, one thing is always certain: There'll be yellow flowers outside. For years, Dakis, president of Lake Forest-based Fieldcrest Builders, has been decorating the exterior of his for-sale homes with plants in sunshine hues.
His mother started the practice years ago, when she and his father ran the family-owned business. And while Dakis can't be sure the yellow flowers have been a factor in Fieldcrest Builders' success, he's not about to mess with good luck.
"I don't know if it really works or not, but our business is still around," he said.
From breaking ground to getting settled to readying for sale, home-related superstitions abound. On move-in day, for example, "The Old Farmer's Almanac" advises entering with a new broom and some salt. Never enter a new home with an old broom, the almanac advises.
Or perhaps it's a quick sale you're after. Bury an upside-down statue of St. Joseph in the yard, lore says, and the home will be snapped up soon.
James Farmer, a garden designer, interior designer and author who lives in Georgia, is not one to scoff at superstition. When a contractor paints a living room the wrong color, the full moon might be to blame, he said.
And he almost always paints porch ceilings "haint blue," a soft blue-green shade that old Southern lore says keeps ghosts away. But the interior designer acknowledges that this habit reflects reverence for tradition more than serious concern about spirits. He remembers observing the blue tint of his grandmother's porch ceilings as a child.
"You may do something because your mama did it, and her mama did it, and your great-grandmama did it," he said.
Unlucky numbers. Would you buy a condo on the 13th floor of a high rise? Broker Fran Bailey of Baird & Warner's Gold Coast office said she can't remember any clients who wanted to avoid the number. Still, she said some buildings skirt the issue by "skipping" the 13th floor and going straight to 14.
She keeps a list of Chicago residential high-rises without a 13th floor on her blog, chicagometroarearealestate.com.
Bailey has noted another interesting trend: A proliferation of Chicago residential buildings with just 12 floors. "It makes you wonder how many buildings are only 12 stories high because the developer didn't want to deal with a 13th floor," she said.
But 13 isn't the only number people want to avoid. Different cultures have different unlucky numbers, said Christy Whelan, director of sales for West Chicago-based custom homebuilder Airhart Construction. She occasionally deals with requests from customers to avoid an address with a perceived unlucky digit.
Good-luck charms. The desire to give buildings magical protection is ages old. David Pickering, author of the "Dictionary of Superstitions," said ancient people offered sacrifices to calm deities or spirits that might be bothered by building.
"Animals — dead or alive — were once buried in the foundation of new buildings," Pickering wrote. "That changed through the centuries, with the place of animals being taken by shoes or coins."
Modern homeowners, too, are eager to get off on the right foot in their new residences. When Steve Sobkowiak, co-owner of Oakley Home Builders of Downers Grove, built his own home, he had each of his children initial the footing of the home and press a penny in the cement for good luck.
Dakis' customers are also eager to bestow good luck on their new homes. Years ago, he had a client ask him to seal some good-luck charms into a new home's foundation. Now he makes the offer to all of his clients.
He estimates that about half of them take him up on it, presenting a sealed baggie full of coins or other charms as construction begins.
And Steve Carr, of Steve Carr Builders & Developers in Naperville, said he's had customers name their homes or include a motto on a carved block near the front door. One motto he remembers was "Dei Gratia," the Latin words for "Grace of God."
Pickering chalks up the many building-related superstitions to the fact that construction was once quite dangerous, with life-threatening accidents common. Fortunately, advancements have made the process safer through the years, but many of the superstitions remain.
Today's biggest danger might be an unsteady market for buying and selling.
"The housing market has been full of such bad luck," Carr joked. "It's as if someone broke a mirror a few years back."

Genesis Means Origins
The first book of the Bible tells of the origins of the world and of a very interesting family eventually known as the children of Israel.
By George Robinson
We Also Recommend
Reprinted with permission from Essential Judaism: A complete guide to beliefs, customs, and rituals, published by Pocket Books.
Bereshit begins with the creation of the world by God, from tohu v'bohu, chaos and nothingness. God calls for light, separates the darkness from the light creating day and night, creates the "great waters," separates land from sea, and eventually fills the earth with creatures—fowl, fish, land animals, and finally man and woman. In fact, Bereshit tells the story of the creation twice, with significant differences between the two versions.
Almost immediately after the creation of humans, problems begin. Eve is tempted by the serpent and violates God's explicit orders, eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and encouraging Adam to do likewise. They are expelled from the Garden of Eden. Eve bears children, Cain and Abel, and eventually Cain kills his brother and is condemned to wander the earth.
After several more generations, God decides that humanity was a bad idea and resolves to obliterate man and woman from the face of the earth, save for Noah and his family. Noah and his kin are saved and with them is an assortment of the animals as well. Eventually, after the floodwaters have subsided, Noah will offer a sacrifice to God, who promises never to repeat this mass extermination. However, it is not long before humans again test God's patience, building the Tower of Babel. The Almighty responds this time by scattering them across the face of the earth and confounding their language; they will now speak in many tongues and be unintelligible to one another.
All of this is but a lengthy prelude to the main story of Bereshit, the story of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs who founded the Hebrew people: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob, Leah, and Rachel, Joseph and his brothers. Each of these stories pivots on a covenant between the Creator and the Patriarch of his generation, each involves wandering and exile ending in redemption and, finally, a gentle but poignant death. In at least two key cases, central figures are given new names by God, indicating the transformation that their covenant requires.
