1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger
spiced rum
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger
coffee flavored liqueur
3/4 cup
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
A nice change from our usual eggnog with spiced rum. I used Captain Morgan and Kahlua.
I have always just bought the Eggnog from the liqueur store. Then mixxed with the Kaluha and poured over ice.

Delicious! We used vodka instead of rum, like in a real White Russian, and that worked well.
This was a great drink to start the holiday season of 2012! We loved this drink. So tasty and satisfying! I used Captain Morgans spiced rum and Kahlua, so yummy! Thank You recipe group for voting for this wonderful drink!

Help select H.S. football players of the week: Week 3
COASTAL BEND - Each Monday of the regular season, voting will begin for the high school football player of the week on offense and defense for large classes and smaller classes in the Coastal Bend.
The voting ends 6 p.m. Wednesday each week.
Congratulations to last week's winners: Carroll running back Noah Lisk, Tuloso-Midway defender Justin Nava, Woodsboro quarterback Lionel Brown and Sinton defensive back Colton Cohea.
Among the top performances this past weekend were:
– Orange Grove's Josh Herrera had an incredible 25 tackles and four sacks in a win over Aransas Pass.
– Ingleside's Jalen Gross is nominated for offense and defense after running for 162 yards and two scores, and then scoring twice on interception returns.
– King was on its way to earning a spot for offensive player of the week before rain and lightning put an end to their game in the first quarter. The Mustangs touched the ball only three times in the first eight minutes, but scored each time.

A blunt bob – it sounds pretty dull. Yet the bobs at Rick Owens's S/S13 show were nothing short of extraordinary. Created by Luigi Mureno, the memorable look was created by using a series of thick, soft frizzy wigs in varying shades, cut bluntly at an angle. Owens' soft silhouette and liquid, iridscent palette was the perfect contrast. "I wanted there to be a warmth and a softness and, if possible, a kindness," said Owens backstage, a designer renowned for his gothic aesthetic.
More than any other hairstyle, bobs have become an iconic style throughout history. Think Louise Brooks, a young Grace Coddington, Rei Kawakubo, Yayoi Kusama and Anna Wintour.
"Each wig was unique to the girl and in the colour palette of the Vienna Secession artists – it felt like modernity from a former time"
"The combination of austere flatness on top of the head, with the soft frizz and bounce of the hair as the models walked, and the razored, angular finish, felt so original and cool", explains fashion editor Agata Belcen. "Each wig was unique to the girl and in the colour palette of the Vienna Secession artists – it felt like modernity from a former time." Owens also took inspiration from the work of Gustav Klimt. The women is paintings had thick black bobs which juxtaposed with the golden palette of the rest of his image.

Quote beachmomluvr: So CG is back filming on Thursday, guess the Sharon craziness is still in play, my guess is that this will go on to November sweeps which they will be filming in a couple of weeks, sorry to say this but I hope CG's time is done by then (maybe she will find another opportunity).
Do you know how long she is filming for, I can't take much more of this. I just hope once this paternity reveal is over and Sharon stops hallucinating Cassie that they will put Cassie to rest for once and for all. As mush as I love CG as Cassie, they need to move on. Every year when there is drama involved with Sharon or Nick they bring in Cassie, no more let the poor girl rest in peace. Lets move forward.
ICAM, cassie needs to go back into the light and someone should bolt the door forever. I loved Sharon's memory of her daughter, but in very small doses.

One reason some want to keep Cassie going is because it is the only thing keeping Little Nicky and Sharon connected. Every time they want to try and hook Sick up they start with Cassie which is stupid. Just as in NO. Sharon chose Adam was in love with Adam. But when she saw the carrousel she thought of Cassie and assumed that was a sign from Cassie she needed to be with Little Nicky talk about stupid. Hopefully they will put Cassie to rest after this.

IA the cassie ghost needs to stop. Hopefully they are putting and end to that now.

Love our couple. Looks like they have written a loop hole for Shadam to get back to loving each other. Sharon and Adam really belong together. Without the other so they are lost souls.
Sharon and Adam are just to good together not to be in the same orbit, scenes and as a couple with angst, mystery, and chemistry who could ask for any thing more then what Shadam bring when together.
I havent watched in quite awhile I am so looking forward to some entertaining story lines so I can watch daily again. Glad some of these stories are finishing up.
canada gal
Adam and Sharon are the real deal as lovers and as friends. The chemistry between these to characters are amazing. Looking forward to seeing them in each others orbit when all this sht is over.
Gramee Bee
Team SHADAM,
Quote Gramee Bee: Team SHADAM,
Long time no post, but I have been faithfully lurking, and now feel compelled to inject my opinions. I periodically check the "other " thread, and am convinced some of them are delusional! I did find some poster's thoughts about Adam very telling, gave me insight and perspective about the final ending of the baby storyline. I also feel it is all about Dylan and not anyone else, simply because he seems to be the "future" of the show until a new EP comes along. Chelsea is not a major player, she will end up as collateral damage to both Dylan and Adam.
Fans always talk about how Chelsea got hurt in her first marriage to Adam, and how Adam disappointed her, but I really think it should be remembered how much she disappointed him. Adam wanted to feel that she would always be there for him, even as he went off to conquer NE and reclaim his birthright from Victor. She was an escape from the Newman family, from his father. But then she bailed, she made their marriage all about her and nothing about him. She walked away from him, divorced him. She was never understanding or supportive. Now the battle begins over the baby. If Adam really wanted a life with her and the baby, wouldn't the dialogue be all about the three of them together being a family, and promises and action on his part to do anything to make that happen. Instead he immediately goes to Avery for legal advice. This is very obvious that he is all about his son. He has never agonized over Chelsea marrying Dylan. If he really loved her their marriage should be making him crazy. Instead, he seemed to accept the marriage and moved on pretty quickly with Melanie. He stated on a couple of occasions that LOVE was not for him. He has also said he knows that Sharon wants to love him, but he knows that Victor has forbid that relationship. He still needs to protect Sharon from Victor.
To quote MM's interview about Chelsea and the baby lie, "It's going to be surprise and horror and shock and pride and resentment and anger and bitterness, and he's been deceived and lied to, and precious moments are stolen from him. But some of it is karmic, because of what happened with Sharon and Faith years ago, and Adam being involved. So… it's like a freaking tornado of emotion. It truly is a roller coaster in that there are highs and lows and strength and weakness in this. WWIII is beginning this fall, there is no doubt. It's going to be pretty wild."
While we don't know what will eventually happen, if Adam stays true to his character, forgiveness is not in the immediate future. He should lose every bit of feeling he had for this woman. He isn't like Sharon, who had so much love for Adam that she was able to forgive him. Chelsea will fight and claw, lie and scheme to keep the baby. I can see her dirty tricks will just keep coming and coming. How else is her character interesting except by being a con artist? I actually think once we get through the custody battle, there isn't much left for the character unless she stays married to Dylan. Can we all be hopeful that is it "Goodbye Con-woman"!
By that time, Sharon should have finally hit bottom. She will be on the recovery route and Adam can be her savior once again. Of course, to the spoiler that once said Adam was in for a "big fall", perhaps Baby Conner will not have been fathered by Adam after all! Even is he is, Adam still has the Victor saga coming, and now with the "midnight filming" this weekend with BM, EH, AH, GR, and the wooded scene, there was no mention of MCE, SB, SC, or anyone in the baby story listed. To me it means that the storyline has moved on.
Keep the faith everyone. SHADAM is still the top ratings grabber. We know this, TPTB know it! They will reunite eventually!
Great to see you stop by, great post!
I also the tweets and pics about this late night filming, I suspect it will involve Adam "saving the day" again but, and this may be unpopular, we have been there done that before several times with Adam and yes, people are grateful then it just reverts back to the contempt and disdain a few weeks later. I am just concerned because there is no indication at all that MM and SC are even filming together anymore and that makes me so sad because I know how much they LOVE working with each other, sure MM can praise his acting partner MCE but SC has been a TRUE friend to him for a long time, I just wish TPTB realized what a goldmine they have in MM and SC, two friends who love working with each other, unlike some others...
I was missing some Shadam this week- end ,so I was watching old clips to remember how great they are together. I used to watch just prior this new regime but I found this last one who showed me how Shadam was great not a long time ago ... They are just mesmerized me ... Sexy,tenderness and love the all package .. And so natural good together ...

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Cold-blooded and utterly emotionless, the Psions were originally alien reptiles evolved to higher intelligence by Maltusian scientists. The Maltusians left their world to become the Guardians of the Universe and these creatures, who called themselves Psions, continued their evolutionary progress. Eventually the Psions traveled into space to find their creators. The Guardians, concerned with other matters, encouraged the psions to continue their quests for knowledge. The Psions, however, took scientific experimentation to the extreme, often selling their cruel services to other alien cultures. Psion research under the banner of the Citadel grave Tamaranean sisters K'oriand'r and Komand'r their star-bolt powers as Starfire and Blackfire. The Psions added their scientific savvy to the Dominator-led invasion of Earth, and engaged in breeding experiments that crossed humans with the H'San Natall to create young superbeings briefly united as a team of Teen Titans. The Psions were part of the Earth Invasion. The Dominator's were afraid of the Earth's ability to create super powered indivuduals. Their contibution to the war effort was the creation of sedatives that would be given to prisoners in The Gulag that the Alliance housed in deep space. A science team based in conqured Australia sent a bomb through a JLI transpoter that backfired and killed the Psion science team. A psion was part of the Paradocs crew during Earths involvement of Our Worlds at War. He was tending a gravely wounded Wonder Woman and told her injuries were too far gone and he would begin dissection. Hippolyta took over taking care of her daughter's injuries. The Psions maintain floating labs as they exploit the outer scientific fields of discovery. The Omega Men that are based in the Vegan system oppose them when they encounter each other. The Goddess X'Hal was created through their experiments, The Green Lantern Corps were forbidden from entering this sector due to several ancient pacts with The Spider Guild and the Psions, as the official reason, and the being known as Agent Orange whos existence was known only to the Guardians. Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner went into Vegan Space to save the life of Soranik Natu. The mission was a success leading to the defeat of The Spider Guild breaking most of the power they once had after attempting an invasion of Oa in retaliation. The Omega Men are saved from Astrild Storm-Daughter by the Psions because the Psions wanted the Omega Men to assassinate Starro, Astrild's master. The Psions give the Omega Men Starro drones that they have experimented on. Through the experimentation, the drones' violet pigmentation converted to black and once the drones bond to its host, the host can appear as a Starro servant with augmented strength but the host still maintains their own free will. This will enable the Omega Men to get close to Starro and kill him. Recently new depths to which the Psions would sink has been revealed through the Psion Green Lantern of sector 2828 (including the recently opened Vega system) called Gorius, as her and her sector partner came into conflict with the R.E.B.E.L.S. organisation, who were selling their sevices as a private security corp at the expense of the Green Lanterns, who were victims of a smear campain, having begun expanding into Vegan space, including New Tamaran. However Gorius recognized Starfire and despite the Tamaranians hated for Psions she sought her out as the Psions had hired the R.E.B.E.L.S. Leading Starfire to the artifical Psion-homeworld, Gorius showed Starfire to what was called a breeding-nexus an underground complex where Psion-females were kept as slaves, to produce a set number of male offspring with their guards. Gorius explained that the male Psions did this because the women still had the empathy the males lacked and would hamper their experiments if left free. Starfire was enraged at the treatment because it reminded her of her own time as a Prison prisoner and the two tried to free the captives, but the complex was destroyed from a far having been deemed an acceptable loss. Gorius didnt hear further from Starfire, but the princess forced Vril Dox to terminate the R.E.B.E.L.S. contract.

So, we have no verification of this story, but every reason (and desire) to believe it: British journalist Laurie Penny tweeted last night that she was "LITERALLY" saved from being run over by a car in New York by Ryan Gosling.
"I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened," Penny wrote. "I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi."
She wasn't exactly sure it was famed street-fight-breaker-upper Gosling, but a woman next to her confirmed it, saying, "You lucky bitch."
Penny is a writer for the New Statesman, The Nation, The Guardian and other reputable outlets, so she doesn't sound like the type who would make this up.
Gosling was most recently snapped in L.A. with girlfriend Eva Mendes on Sunday after a movie shoot in Thailand, Celebitchy.com points out. But we're all waiting for photographic proof that the actor is in New York to back up this story completely. And then get ready to see a whole lot of ladies in pink wigs feigning trouble crossing the streets of Manhattan.

The Comix Galaxy Returns to Miami Book Fair International This November
October 25, 2010 by Brian Pate

Press Release:
The Comix Galaxy Returns to Miami Book Fair International This November
MIAMI, September 14, 2010 –The 27th edition of the nation's finest and largest literary gathering, Miami Book Fair International, presented by the Florida Center for the Literary Arts at Miami Dade College (MDC), will take place November 14-21, 2010, at the college's Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami and will again feature the popular Comix Galaxy.
The New York Times hailed the Miami Book Fair as the model for all book festivals. The Fair again broke new ground two years ago when it launched The Comix Galaxy, a program that celebrates the place of comics and graphic novels in American literature with panels, sessions for educators, workshops for kids and teens, and more.
The Comix Galaxy invites teachers, librarians, parents, and comics and graphic novel creators to participate in the School of Comics, to be held on Thursday, November 18 and Friday, November 19.
The first day of the School of Comics will be a Day of Education for teachers, librarians and parents on how to expand the academic curricula with graphic novels, and will be held on Thursday, November 18. Programming will be keynoted by Dr. William Ayers, education theorist, professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and author of To Teach: The Journey, in Comics. Also on this program will be James "Bucky" Carter, professor of English at the University of Texas at El Paso and author of Building Literacy Connections with Graphic Novels, Chris Schweizer, professor of Sequential Art and Animation at Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta and author of Crogan's March, and Adam Johnson, professor of Creative Writing at Stanford University and co-editor of the Stanford University Graphic Novel Project. Practical examples of how comics and graphic novels have been integrated into curriculum will be part of this event as well as lists of titles that work in the classroom environment. The Day of Education will be moderated by Carol Fitzgerald, publisher of the popular website site GraphicNovelReporter.com.
On Friday, November 19, a second day of School of Comics programming will address aspiring comics creators with an emphasis on established creators teaching their craft and talking about how to get published. Participating creators include Amy Ignatow (The Popularity Papers), Tracy White (How I Made It to Eighteen) and Raina Telgemeier (Smile).
For the past two years, the weekend portion of The Comix Galaxy has presented panels by diverse and exciting creators from all facets of the comics and graphic novel industry. This year promises to be just as inspiring with David Axe (War Is Boring), Barry Deutsch (Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword), Sid Jacobson (Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic Biography), Mat Johnson (Dark Rain: A New Orleans Story), Chip Kidd (Shazam! The Golden Age of the World's Mightiest Mortal), Denis Kitchen (The Oddly Compelling Art of Denis Kitchen), Inverna Lockpez and Dean Haspiel (Cuba: My Revolution), Lars Martinson (Tonoharu), Mark McKenna (Banana Tail), Vanessa Davis (Make Me a Woman), Jaime Hernandez (The Art of Jaime Hernandez: The Secrets of Life and Death), Joan Hilty (Senior Editor, DC Comics/ Vertigo), Joe Sacco (Footnotes in Gaza), Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor), Alex Simmons (Archie) and many others.
Original drawings and final page blowups from the graphic novel Cuba: My Revolution (DC Comics/ Vertigo) by DeanHaspiel and Inverna Lockpez will be on display throughout the week of the Fair and beyond, part of an exhibition at Miami Dade College's Center Gallery. Another exhibition will tie in with the Fair's celebration of Mexican culture. It will consist of pages from a 12-issue comic book series about the Mexican Revolution by artist Jose Luis Pescador, written by some of the greats of contemporary Mexican literature.
Another favorite, Kids' Comic Con, returns from New York City with hands-on workshops and portfolio reviews! Last year's crowd-pleasing activities got kids and teens drawing and writing alongside professional artists/teachers. Free and open to all over the three-day weekend Street Fair, November 19-21, Kids' Comic Con is the place for every kid who dreams of creating the next Superman or Wimpy Kid.
The return of School of Comics and Kids' Comic Con to Comix Galaxy 2010 is part of the Miami Book Fair's continued celebration of comics and graphic novels. We look forward to sharing more names of participating graphic novelists and comic book artists in the weeks to come.

Comments Off on MA – That's FCBD
Mark McKenna, Bob Almond, and more sign on Saturday, May 1st. That's Entertainment in Worcester, MA joins with thousands of comic book shops around the world to celebrate the unique American art form that is comic books. The day has been dubbed "Free Comic Book Day," and its goal is to introduce as many people to the wonders of comic books as possible.
When you visit That's Entertainment on May 1st, you will find a great variety of free comics. There are comics for children, for families to enjoy together, for adults, and especially for people who think they would never read a comic book.
Unlike video stores, bookstores, and movie theaters, comic book stores are usually independently owned and operated, with no national chains dominating the market. As a result, each store is as individual as its owner, a celebration of the incredible diversity in the comic book field. Those who think comic books are "just for kids" or "old-fashioned" will be pleasantly surprised by the broad range of reading material available at their local comic book store.
Regular updates, information about comic books, and lists of participating publishers (and their comics) are all online at the FCBD website.
Plus: Special Comic Book Creator Guests Appearing at That's Entertainment in Worcester:
Comic Book Inker: Mark McKenna.
Comic Book Inker: Bob Almond
Illustrator: Eric Merced
Artist: Mark Marderosian
Free Comic Book Day kicks off at 10:00 am and runs until 8:00 pm at That's Entertainment in Worcester. Call (508) 755-4207 for more information.

Comments Off on Boston Comic Con Returns
The Boston Comic Con is excited to announce its biggest guest list ever for its upcoming show on October 24-25, 2009. These comic book star creators are coming to New England's largest comic convention to meet their fans and sign autographs.
Living legend HERB TRIMPE comes to Boston Comic Con – In the 1960s, during the period known as the Silver Age of Comics, Trimpe was assigned to what became his signature character, the INCREDIBLE HULK – he went on to draw the character for a virtually unbroken run of over eight years. As a MARVEL COMICS mainstay, Herb drew nearly every starring character along with THE TRANSFORMERS, G.I. JOE and SHOGUN WARRIORS. He's most famously credited with the co-creation of the Marvel comic character "WOLVERINE" who later became a breakout star of the X-MEN. Stop by and meet this comic legend appearing both days at the show.
DAVID MACK is a creative dynamo in the comics industry, unleashing ground breaking work on books such as DAREDEVIL and his creator owned KABUKI -With over 12 years spent professionally in the comics industry and more graphic novels than you can count, Mack has grown a large fan base and gained acclaim from all over the world. In addition to his comic work David Mack has also written the treatment for a "KABUKI" film – BCC welcomes this innovative talent.
KHOI PHAM, one of MARVEL COMICS' finest artists; a superstar who is considered to be one of Marvel's "YOUNG GUNS" From X-FACTOR to the INCREDIBLE HERCULES to his whirlwind run on the Secret Invasion flashback chapters of MIGHTY AVENGERS – it is hard to believe that Khoi has had no formal training. Come meet this artist whose career in the comic field may have come quick, but by no means will be a short one. Welcome to Boston, Khoi!
Boston Comic Con welcomes CLIFF CHIANG to our growing list of talented artists. A Harvard graduate, Cliff was formerly an assistant editor at DC COMICS before he made the leap to freelance illustrator. In his time as an artist, he has drawn such diverse characters as BATMAN, THE SPECTRE, RED SONJA, GRENDEL, SWAMP THING and WONDER WOMAN. Cliff most recently illustrated the GREEN ARROW / BLACK CANARY series for DC COMICS and is currently working on a graphic adaptation of Neil Young's GREENDALE. A fan favorite, he will be appearing both days!
BCC welcomes comic artist and designer GEOF DARROW! Winner of three EISNER awards, his first which he shared with Frank Miller for HARD BOILED, his second in 1996 for BIG GUY & RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT and his most recent (2006) for his self – penned series SHAOLIN COWBOY, featuring Geof's trademark ultra-violence, irony and meticulous level of detail. Darrow was also credited as 'Conceptual Designer' on all three MATRIX movies showcasing his visual style. A true talent not to be missed.
STEPHANE ROUX is a French comic book artist who is known mostly for his cover work for MARVEL, DC and SEMIC comics. He has worked on such titles as WITCHBLADE: BLOODOATH as well as SIBILA and STRANGERS in the SEMIC pocket publications-His most recent works have included cover artist on BIRDS OF PREY, and COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS for DC comics. Let's show this continent hopper what a real AMERICAN comic show is like!
MIKE McKONE has penciled many titles including JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA and JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL for DC COMICS and PUNISHER WAR ZONE for MARVEL COMICS. However it was his work of Marvel's EXILES which brought him instant attention, and led him to work on DC's TEEN TITANS and Marvel's FANTASTIC FOUR. His most recent credits include AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and covers for DEADPOOL: SUICIDE KINGS and PUNISHER.
JIM CALAFIORE gained notoriety with Valiant's X-O: MAN-O-WAR and ARMORIES. Following his time with Valiant, Calafiore moved over to MARVEL taking his "metallic" style to IRON MAN. After a long stint on DC's AQUAMAN with writer Peter David, he returned to the "House of Ideas" as the co-penciller on the reality hopping series EXILES. This DC exclusive artist is currently illustrating the darker side of Gotham City and BATMAN'S rouges in the GOTHAM UNDERGROUND mini series.
ERIC CANETE got his professional start working in animation when he was just a 17-year old kid – not even out of high school yet! Eric has done storyboards, backgrounds and designs for shows like JUSTICE LEAGUE, TEEN TITANS, THE BATMAN, and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES. His full time job is with CARTOON NETWORK on the re-launched BEN 10. Along with his animation work he continues with his first love – COMICS! Check out his IRON MAN: ENTER THE MANDARIN series for Marvel with those funky art deco covers and his run on the END LEAGUE from Dark Horse comics.

Department of Art / Visiting Artists
Visiting Artists
The College of Visual Arts, Theatre & Dance Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series is funded by a generous gift from the late Vincent and Mary Agnes Thursby. Unless otherwise noted all lectures are in the Fine Arts Building (530 Call Street, Tallahassee, FL 32306), Room 249 at 7 pm.
For more info, call (850) 644-6474, or join the FSU Visiting Artists Series on facebook
To view past Visiting Artist lectures, visit the Department of Art Youtube Page
2015-2016 Lectures:
Adam Putnam - Thursday October 1st, 2015 7PM
Adam Putnam has engaged in mediums such as performance, drawing, and photography in his artwork. He toys with the idea of the physical self being one with architecture and the surrounding space and brings sexuality into his artwork through the blurring of these lines. As described by Adam on Art Forum "It's funny––I'm taking a lot of photos in my studio that are technically "unfinished" in the sense that they sit around for a long time. But then all of a sudden something triggers them, and I think: "This is the photo. This is it." It happens quickly, almost in a panic."
Tanja Softic - Thursday October 15th, 2015 7PM
Tanja Softic works across the media of printmaking, drawing, photography and book arts. Her work is included in numerous collections in the United States and abroad, among them New York Public Library, Library of Congress Print Department and New South Wales Gallery of Art in Sydney, Australia. Tanja describes, "I use languages of drawing, printmaking, photography and poetic text to explore questions of cultural belonging, hybridity and memory. I work on and with the paper, the substrate civilizations are recorded upon and the platform that is being eclipsed by digital recording methods: the last bastion of tactility in the world of data and ideas. The processes themselves and metaphors they offer, the physicality of paper and drawing media, the visual sources I use, all inform my work."
2014-2015 Lectures:
Jess Giffin' and Jim TerMeer - Thursday October 2nd, 2014 7PM
Jess Giffin and Jim TerMeer of studio giffin'termeer are designers and educators. Central to their practice is their interest in the physicality inherent in methods of production, and the ways in which these methods can actively shape ideas or concepts, as they become design. They see this as a kind of tangible speculation. With this approach, their small studio is able to both investigate and participate in the craft of global production. Their designs (usually objects) are produced as limited-run editions, products licensed to industry and experimental work presented in international exhibitions, festivals, and trade-shows. Recent work explores lightweight lighting, growing products, and the nature of 3-D scanning. Alongside their work with the studio Giffin and TerMeer both teach in the Designed Objects Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Giffin received her MFA in Printmedia from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and TerMeer received his MA in Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Their work is exhibited and published internationally.
Kerry Tribe - Thursday November 13th, 2014 7PM
Kerry Tribe's large scale projects in film, video and installation investigate the relationships between consciounsess and the moving image. She regularly collaborates with individuals from a range of non-art disciplines to produce ludic philosophical inquiries through structurally rigorous forms. Tribe's "Greystone" (2013) was screened at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, The New York Film Festival and The London BFI Film Festival. Her performance "Critical Mass" was staged at The Tate Modern in London; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; the Power Plant, Toronto; Modern Art, Oxford; Camden Arts Centre, London and Arnolfini, Bristol. She received an Artadia Fund for Art and Dialog in 2013, and was a United States Artist Fellow and Creative Capital Grantee in 2012. Tribe is represented by 1301PE in Los Angeles, where she currently works and lives.
Ruba Katrib - Thursday January 8th, 2015 7PM
Ruba Katrib is Curator at SculptureCenter in Long Island City, New York, and was previously Associate Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami. Her recent exhibitions include the group show Puddle, pothole, portal, and solo projects with David Douard, Radamés "Juni" Figueroa, Jumana Manna (all 2014), and Tue Greenfort (2013). Group exhibitions include A Disagreeable Object (2012), on the legacy of surrealism, with Anicka Yi, Pamela Rosenkranz, Camille Henrot, Ian Cheng, Sarah Lucas, and others; andBetter Homes (2013), which addressed domesticity in contemporary art, with Josephine Pryde, Martha Rosler, Carissa Rodriguez, Neil Beloufa, and others. At MOCA Miami, she organized the first comprehensive solo museum exhibitions of Cory Arcangel (2010) and Claire Fontaine (2010).

Irving Middle School student Zachary Korff, 13, is receiving national praise for his video on environmental damage to mountain-biking trails at Wakefield Park.
The seventh-grader recently took first place in the video category of the international Young Reporters for the Environment program, which is hosted in the U.S. by the National Wildlife Federation. Zachary competed in the middle school category.
In his three-minute video, "A Tale of Two Trails," Zachary chronicles the differences in wear and tear between the Fairfax County-run Wakefield Park trail and the Fountainhead Regional Park trail run by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.
"It mostly talks about some of the difference in the trails," Zachary said. "How people ride on Wakefield even when it's wet. But Fountainhead has a closure policy [when wet]... I did a couple of interviews with people [and] I learned that Wakefield doesn't really have the money to keep it up [trail care]."
The video begins with an intro by Zachary, "This trail used to have some of my favorite mountain biking trails, but not so much anymore."
Then the tone turns ominous.
While the camera pans to footage traveling down Wakefield Park's trail, Zachary says, "The trails in this Northern Virginia park have been seriously damaged by mountain bikers riding in wet conditions. As you can see, tires are tearing up the trails and causing erosion to this fragile eco-system."
The camera pans to a sign, posted by park caretakers asking bikers to stay off trails when wet. Then Zachary interviews some of the offenders.
"His piece was identified by the jury panel as being really impressive," said Kate Hofmann, coordinator for the competition. Student submissions were judged by a panel of professionals in fields like environmental conservation, sustainable development, journalism, photography, videography and education.
"The goal was to have the students look at an issue in their community, really look at it and present it [as a story]... and get it out there in the community," Hofmann said.
This year was the first time the Young Reporters for the Environment program competition was held in the U.S. It has been held internationally for about a decade. Hofmann said the goal moving forward is to increase participation.
Winners were announced April 30. As a first place national winner, Zachary advances to the international competition. Winners are expected to be announced for this contest in early June.
Zachary said he learned about the contest through his science teacher at Irving Middle School in Springfield.
"I ended up doing it because I thought it would be a good experience," Zachary said. "The prize is a camcorder. I will be using that for environmental things. I'll probably shoot videos and if it has a picture function, I'll be using that too."
Zachary's mother, Rosalyn Cooperman-Korff, said the competition was a good learning experience for her son.
"One of the things I loved about this competition... is what it required him to do," she said. "It required him to work on his communication skills and get out there and talk to people who were involved...He spent a lot of time with my husband going out and getting the story and interviews."

I'm a bad dog mom.
I can't believe I didn't pick up on this earlier.
I thought Sydney was just spoiled. She's being a princess when she'd rather have me feed her instead of eating out of her dish.
And then the weird walking started; she was obviously dealing with back pain so I called the vet and made an appointment and started her back on her pain medication (vet approved).
She was on light exercise (not difficult with our little couch potato) and J and I were giving each other daily updates on how she was doing.
Then the raised dog food dishes from TrendyPet.com arrived and I excitedly set it out for use. Sydney happily drank some fresh water.
TrendyPet.com offers custom made raised pet dishes. Which are perfect and the customer service is amazing. This being the holiday season, of course our second dish was lost in the mail – they replaced it without any hassle (funny, because I wasn't going to mention it at first).
Even the puppies jumped into the fun and can be seen drinking water from Sydney's dish.
I used to think raised dishes were ergonomically necessary, I thought they lowered the risk of bloat in dogs, then I thought that they'd raise the risk of bloat in dogs. Now I see that if we have a raised dish that is measured at the right level (we measured from our dogs' shoulders to their paws), then they make meal times more enjoyable.
We've been feeding Sydney from her raised dog dish for a couple weeks and haven't had an issue with her refusing to eat.
The dishes are at the right height, they come in great colors (we have black ones), and they don't take up much room, so we can still maneuver around our kitchen area easily.
The elephant in the room – bloat in dogs…
There is a lot of controversy about bloat in dogs and it's confusing. I've done a lot of research and elevated feeders have been listed as a cause for bloat in dogs. If you have a dog who is already susceptible to bloat (deep chested dogs), then an elevated feeder should only be used under advisement of your vet.
We use an elevated feeder, because our dogs have arthritis and using the Trendy Pet raised dishes cause less stress on our dogs' joints and back.
If you have questions about whether a raised dish is right or wrong for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian. And keep in mind that the jury is still out on how to reduce the risk of bloat in dogs. Our dogs don't speed eat or drink, our dogs aren't at risk for bloat, and our dogs don't exercise after eating. But I have no idea if this is why we haven't experienced bloat, but since it hasn't caused bloat – I'm going to stay our course.
We're fans of our custom made dog dishes…
Once the puppies grow up a little, we'll be order two more sets.
I don't think I'll ever go with another dog dish and not just because these are gorgeous and functional. I just love the company. One thing I've noticed is that there are some companies that jump into the pet industry to get a piece of that 50 billion dollar pie and they have very little understanding of our bond with our dogs. This isn't the case with TrendyPet.com.
I want to buy from a company that loves dogs.
So, what are your thoughts on raised dog dishes?
