Feds began investigating Bob Menendez (D-NJ) six months ago for sleeping with underage hookers. "ABC News senior investigative producer Rhonda Schwartz was aware as early as May 2, 2012, the documents show…" The "watchdog" media only watches those they disagree with; they know that we know and they don't care.

Since Democrats have no standards at all, I bet not a thing legally happens to this guy over this.

Menendez has been a huge pain in my ass for years. I used to live in NJ, and watched his rise from local politics to national. He's been a scumbag forever, but since he's a Democrat, he can do whatever he wants.

Just look at Slick Willie. It's amazing how easily slime balls rise to the top in the Democratic Party. The lapdog media ignores and even takes up for the Democratic lack of morality. The same media goes into a frenzy anytime a true conservative rises to threaten their master. They turn into a mad dog sniffing out any little thing that can be used against them. They will go to any length to dig up dirt, then yap and spin until it can be used against Republicans with devastating effect.

Ghost, that's an awesome article!
The reason for such reticence isn't hard to fathom. When gun owners charge that politicians can't be trusted to resist using registration lists for future confiscation, they're not being paranoid — New York City and California have both done just that.
Political officials might want to consider those experiences, as well as a recent poll finding two-thirds of Americans willing to defy tighter gun restrictions, before setting themselves up for public demonstrations of their impotence in the face of mass defiance.
The Left's hatred of the Bill of Rights — represented in this case by Andrew Cuomo — is one reason why iOwnTheWorld's Molon Labe T-shirts are selling like hotcakes on a cold winter morning. And why AR-15 mags have a year's worth of back-orders.

I'll bet the media-pukes are madly disappointed that this guy is a fellow traveler. If he didn't have the Communist Party "D" after his name there would be screaming headlines, probably an Extra from their various rags, the alphabet media would have 24/7 specials and Breaking News. But alas, just another D enhancing his/her resume, nothing to see here. Menendez For President!!!
Besides, it is George Bush's fault that he is using under age hookers. So there.

I'm not sure this story is accurate (the part about the media keeping it secret). I knew about Menendez and his hookers quite a while ago, so this story isn't as new as the story implies nor as hidden as the story implies. I keep track of Crooked Democrats but I'm way behind on updating the page, so let me spend a little time figuring out when I first read about this.

I saw a few things about it before the election but it never got much play that I'm aware of. I know BM was running TV ads like mad here, and I couldn't figure out why since his GOP opponent was damn near invisible. Perhaps he thought it was going to make more of a stink than it did in this "What difference does it make?" world.

I was wrong. Here's the article I was thinking of: http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/01/women-sen-bob-menendez-paid-us-for-sex-in-the-dominican-republic/
It was before the election, but as you can see it makes no mention of the hooker being underage. All it says is that he stiffed her… and by that I mean he promised her $500 and paid her $100. When are these guys going to learn you don't piss off the hooker?

If the Feds are investigating him for this behavior, shouldn't the Sgt of Arms have been notified, in order to protect the pages and underage interns that are working on Capital Hill? It's the montra of the left that everything is for the children. So letting a possible pedaphile run rampant through the halls of Senate should that not be one if their biggest worries. Again, it's all for the children. Unless you have the D behind your name, then it's all for the party.

The guy should be on a sex offender registry. But what's worse, this story of hiring hookers only was exposed when he tried to stiff them on the agreed price. Again, if you are into hookers & you don't want others to know about it, PAY YOUR WHORES. Especially if you are a public figure.

|Respiratory syncytial virus protects against the subsequent development of ovalbumin-induced allergic responses by inhibiting Th2-type γδ T cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23154879 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been hypothesized to be a risk factor for the development of allergy and asthma, but epidemiologic studies in humans still remain inconclusive. The association between RSV infection and allergic diseases may be dependent on an atopic background and previous history of RSV infection. It has been reported that RSV infection before sensitization to an allergen decreased the production of Th2-like cytokines in the lung and the levels of allergen-specific Th2-type antibodies in the serum. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In the present study, the role of pulmonary γδ T cells in RSV-affected, allergen-induced airway inflammation was investigated. BALB/c mice were sensitized to or challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and infected with RSV either before or after the sensitization period. It became clear that sensitization and challenge of mice with OVA induced a large influx of γδ T cells to the lungs. However, prior RSV infection inhibited the infiltration of γδ T cells as well as activated γδ T cells, characterized by expression of CD40L or CD69 molecular in the cell surface. Moreover, prior RSV infection elevated the type 1 cytokine gene expression but suppressed type 2 cytokine expression in the lung γδ T cells. Adoptive transfer of γδ T cells from OVA-sensitized and challenged mice increased airway inflammation, suggesting that γδ T cells may play a proinflammatory role in allergic responses. These results described here support the idea of an unknown γδ T cell-dependent mechanism in the regulation of RSV-affected, allergen-induced allergic airway responses. J. Med.

What do you think?
Marine Corps Times wants to hear from active-duty Marines about the decision. Send your name, rank, billet and duty station along with your comments in an email to senior writer Dan Lamothe at email@example.com. Your thoughts could be published in a forthcoming edition of Marine Corps Times.
The Marine Corps will require nearly all Marines to dress up on Fridays beginning this week, following a directive issued by Commandant Gen. Jim Amos.
Effective this month, the uniform of the day on Fridays from November to March will be the Service B. From April to October, it will be the Service C. The commandant wants all non-deployed Marines and sailors assigned to Marine units to participate, although some exceptions will be granted, according to an email to senior leaders by Lt. Gen. Willie Williams, the chief of Marine Corps staff.
The decision means most Marines across the Corps will be wearing "bravos" during the winter and "charlies" during the summer to close the week. The bravos include a khaki-colored shirt and tie and olive drab trousers. The charlies include a short-sleeve khaki shirt and olive drab trousers.
Williams' email did not explain why the commandant made the change, but it may be related to his push to improve military appearance and weed out overweight Marines across the service. In a Marine Corps news release published Wednesday, a senior enlisted adviser said the Corps seems to have strayed from its "'spit and polish' pride."
"Unlike the utility uniform, the service uniforms are form fitting, and this characteristic provides leaders with an opportunity to frequently evaluate the personal appearance of their Marines without inducing a work stoppage," said Sgt. Maj. Michael Sprague, of Force Headquarters Group, Marine Corps Forces Reserve.

Worst feeling in the world!
Not Human Anymore!?
I walk through and wonder, "Who am I?"
I see days go by, and think, "What happened?"
Can I live in a world where "I" am run by?
No one realize the past over runs, even when it don't
This sadness, in the eyes of many
It leaves sorrow not a penny
Then when they look and ask
It is in wonder to see what
They really have done
In the process, I become not human
Some parts steel some gold
No heart exists within this body cold.
Excuses are being told and told
Human trial and error, is hold
I see through misty fears
Calls and calls and no one hears
Then one day, humankind looks around
Surprised, what has this evil bound
In all this time, they never knew
It was they, blinded, evil grew
So why do you ask? Just see how
Your ignorance grew, seed you sow
Many a day I wonder, will I be human again
I think, "Who knows, chances are one out of ten!"

LG leads the way in 2007
Just as 2007 came into existence, we learned about many new products, including new computers supporting the latest Microsoft OS. This is in such spirit of renewal that we also learned about LG's vision for 2007.
Seoul, Jan 02 2007 – LG Electronics, a leader in consumer electronics and mobile communications, has officially embarked on a new era of executive leadership. Mr. Yong Nam, who is starting his tenure as the new Vice Chairman and CEO effective January 1, 2007, shared his vision with employees through the company's New Year's message.
Mr. Nam declared LG Electronics' vision of becoming a global top three player in all of its business areas, as defined in terms of revenue, market share, profitability, growth rate and shareholder returns. He added, however, that there was one area where LG Electronics should be at the very top, and not just one of the top three: people. Mr. Nam also said, "Through these efforts, LG Electronics will be eventually the best company in the world, which is our ultimate goal."
To achieve this goal, Mr. Nam emphasized the theme of value creation for shareholders, customers and employees. He encouraged employees to be more strategic and result-oriented, and to change to a customer- and market-focused mindset. Mr. Nam also vowed to make LG Electronics a more inspirational working place that attracts more top global talent.
LG Electronics earlier announced the appointments of several new key executives, effective January 1, 2007, including the appointment of Mr. Nam as the new CEO of LG Electronics. Other major appointments are two new business unit CEOs, new CFO, new Head of Korea Sales & Marketing Operations and 26 other executives.
These changes signify LG Electronics' effort to continue to enhance the global presence of the LG brand and to maximize profitable growth. The newly-appointed officers are expected to achieve the improved results for the organization in terms of business performance; in particular, LG Electronics will focus on securing profitable and sustainable growth in the mobile handset and display sectors.
Under the leadership of Mr. Nam, known for his strategic outlook, in-depth IT industry experience and global perspective, LG Electronics is expected to move to new heights, becoming a highly profitable technology leader with strong brand power. Mr. Nam has more than 30 years of experience in LG Electronics, LG Corporation and LG Telecom. Prior to his appointment, he served as the Head of Strategic Business of LG Corporation, working on strategic business initiatives and directly supporting LG's Chairman, Mr. Bon-Moo Koo. He also served as Chief Executive Officer and Director of LG Telecom from October 1998 through May 2006, during which time he oversaw the company's rapid transformation into a highly profitable organization.

The fifteen educators, who made an on-site evaluation of East Greenwich High School on April 10 through April 13, have submitted their final report, Principal Michael Podraza announced today. The evaluation visit took place under the direction of the Commission on Public Secondary Schools of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The visiting committee was chaired by Dr. Edmund Higgins, Professor at Quinnipiac University and included educators from various New England states.
By DAVID PEPIN
Steps have been taken (literally) to make sure the historic steps at Town Hall will be repaired and ready to welcome visitors again by mid-July.
While the athletic fields at East Greenwich High School have received a major facelift the bad two years, the dugouts on the baseball diamonds have remained lingering blemishes.
John Mahoney and the Diamond Baseball Club, a group of baseball team parents and boosters, are hoping to change that.
Mahoney briefed the School Committee Tuesday night on his groupŌĆÖs plans to improve the dugouts, lengthening them and building cinderblock structures and roofs. The current dugouts offer a fence, a bench and little else, or as Mahoney put it, ŌĆ£a metal cage.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great facility, but these dugouts donŌĆÖt fit the bill right now,ŌĆØ he said.
Without taking a formal vote, the committee gave its blessing to the plan. Chairwoman Deidre Gifford referred Mahoney to the Fields Committee, which Superintendent Victor Mercurio plans to convene next month to review plans for the dugout construction with an eye toward School Committee approval at its Aug. 16 meeting.
Mahoney said if the go-ahead is given then and details such as a construction plan and liability insurance are finalized, he and a group of parents can have the varsity field dugouts built by the beginning of November. He said they have raised $2,500 already, with each dugoutŌĆÖs cost estimated between $4-5,000.
Gifford said use of the town impact fee fund, which is covering the cost of the new concession stand being built at the football field, is also a possibility.
The new dugouts are necessary for safety reasons, he said ŌĆō from disturbances both climatological and parental.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs no privacy in these dugouts for the coach to talk to a player. The first game we were able to use the varsity field last year, we had a situation where a parent got into it with a coach and the police had to be called,ŌĆØ said Mahoney.
Another reason covered dugouts are needed, he said, is the baseball fieldsŌĆÖ location, about a quarter-mile from the school building.
It's called Character Ed, and it does contain some valuable life lessons.
But for fifth- and sixth-graders at Eldredge and Hanaford elementary schools, Bob Houghtaling is hoping to draw some character out of the students in preparation for the challenges they will soon be facing at Cole Middle School.
Fourth-graders at Eldredge Elementary School may have heard a few stories from their ŌĆ£Senior BuddiesŌĆØ at Greenwich Bay Manor about the old days, when household tasks required more labor than simply pushing a button or manipulating handheld electronic gadgets.
In that spirit, students showed their elder pals their inventive side recently on their final visit of the 2011-12 school year to the senior residence.
By David Pepin
The recent rescue of a kayaker from a Narragansett Bay buoy wasnŌĆÖt quite all in a dayŌĆÖs work for the East Greenwich Fire DistrictŌĆÖs Marine 1 crew.
ŌĆ£It was two guys with binoculars, looking for a needle in a haystack,ŌĆØ Deputy Chief Russell McGillivray said of the June 9 rescue of a North Kingstown kayaker whose boat capsized during a vicious thunderstorm that ripped through the bay.
One was born in China, and didnŌĆÖt arrive in East Greenwich until he was in third grade. The other has spent her entire live here.
But East Greenwich High School Class of 2011 Valedictorian Han Xu and Salutatorian Julia Stevens have plenty in common: high achievement, friendship, and some podium time coming up Sunday.
With a little final housekeeping Tuesday night, the East Greenwich School District completed its $32,988.353 overall budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
After agreeing to a $50,000 cut requested by the Town Council in the $30,551,077 school appropriation recommended by Town Manager William Sequino Jr. last week, school officials had some extra work to do after previously cutting $713,713 from the figure they had submitted to Sequino in March. The councilŌĆÖs completed budget will go before voters at the June 14 financial town meeting.
Mary Ann Crawford, school finance director, said the final $50,000 came from cutting $38,636 in the substitute teacher account and $11,364 in 1.5 percent raises scheduled for non-union professional personnel in the district.
The substitute funds could be cut, she said, because of federal Race to the Top money that would fund teachersŌĆÖ professional development activities and also provide for substitutes on days those teachers miss class.
The previous cuts to the schoolsŌĆÖ budget request came were made up by $287,287 in additional revenues, including $60,000 from the districtŌĆÖs fund balance, and $426,426 in expense reductions, over half of which came from teacher retirements and Blue Cross health coverage. Blue Cross did not raise the districtŌĆÖs premiums for the upcoming year.
With the FY12 budget, school officials looked with trepidation toward next yearŌĆÖs budget, which will be drastically effected by the stateŌĆÖs pension crisis. Crawford estimated that teacher pension contributions, which came to $1.3 million this year, could rise by 75 to 100 percent next year,
ŌĆ£The challenges for next year are like nothing IŌĆÖve ever seen. With the pension increases, weŌĆÖll be right at the cap (state-mandated 4.25 limit on tax levy increase), she said.
School Committee Chairwoman Deidre Gifford said this yearŌĆÖs budget leans on the districtŌĆÖs fund balance and Race to the Top funding, sources that may not necessarily be available next year.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre in the range of $150,000 weŌĆÖre not going to have next year. WeŌĆÖre losing one-time supplements,ŌĆØ she said.
General Treasurer Gina Raimondo met with the stateŌĆÖs school superintendents last Friday, and will meet with the R.I. Association of School Committees on Saturday in an attempt to let them know what lies ahead.
ŌĆ£She spoke to us in the most general terms,ŌĆØ Superintendent Victor Mercurio said of his peersŌĆÖ audience with the treasurer, who is taking the lead on the state pension reform effort.
Committee member David Green will represent the town at SaturdayŌĆÖs meeting.
Also, the committee considered putting the district food service contract back up for bids after receiving the April financial report from Aramark, on the third year of a five-year contract. A decision will be placed on the agenda for the committeeŌĆÖs June 7 meeting.
Crawford said the service is running a $21,000 deficit through April, making it more likely the town will have to make up some of it at the end of the school year. Under terms of the contract, Aramark would eat the first $8,100 of any deficit as a management fee, with the district liable for the remainder.
ŌĆ£$13,000 is an awful lot to make up in two months,ŌĆØ said Crawford, who attributed the deficit to increased food and fuel costs, despite an increase in overall meals served throughout the district.
Gifford said the district would be willing to consider an increase in meal prices: $2 at elementary schools, $2.50 at Cole Middle School, $2.75 at East Greenwich High School and $3.50 for the daily premium meal selection.
Happy hearts, happy alumni, happy teachers.
They added up to plenty of smiles Saturday morning at the 25th anniversary celebration of Happy Hearts Learning Center, 2608 South County Trail, as the preschoolŌĆÖs current crop of pupils ages 2 to 5 mixed with their older predecessors, including a few young adults, and past and present faculty members.
While some Rhode Islanders are panicking about the stateŌĆÖs budget and pension crises, Gov. Lincoln Chafee is hoping to win over the business community with a calm, IŌĆÖve-seen-this-before approach.

Time Measuring Devices Throughout The History
This is an article about various time measuring devices throughout the history.
Time Measuring Devices in Ancient World
People of all the ancient civilizations wondered what time is. Thousands of years ago, many ancient civilizations had special calendars and time measuring devices. As a matter of fact, artifacts from Palaeolithic show that ancient people used the moon to calculate time more than 10.000 years ago. Lunar calendars were among the first ways of measuring time. Lunar calendars were later changed by the solar calendars, which found their way to most of the world back in the first century. Although, calendars were a great instruments to measure long periods of time (months, years, decades etc.) people needed some time measuring devices to measure short periods of time.
People have invented a great variety of time measuring devices. However, most of the ancient devices can be classified to water clocks, sun clocks and sand clocks. For example Egyptians used a T formed sun clock to measure time throughout the day. It was one of the most simple time measuring devices, however, it wasn't very precise, and also it depended on the sun shine and the time of the day. Another example of a time measuring devices from ancient Egypt was a very precise water clock found in a tomb of pharaoh Amenhotep I (1525–1504 BC).

Clocks in the Middle Ages
Simple and interesting example of time measuring devices in the Middle Ages was the candle clock. These clocks were popular among monks during the Middle Ages. Basically, monks used candles that burn at approximately predictable speeds to measure time.
In the 11th century, Chinese inventors invented the first mechanical clocks. These clocks were more accurate than any other clocks of the time, and the invention spread throughout the world.
It is important to notice, that water clocks were also used during the Middle Ages until about 13th century.
Between 1280 and 1320, there is an increase in the number of references to clocks in church records. It can be seen from the church records that water clocks were adapted to take their power from falling water. Some records even state that these water clocks even had a special alarm system that used a bell.
Spring driven clocks appeared in 1400s. Various problems with the spring clock technology have lead clock makers to many technological innovations.

Pendulum Clock
Pendulum driven clocks, invented in the later centuries, were even more accurate. Such a clock uses pendulum as its time keeping element. From its invention in 1656 by Christian Huygens until the 1930s pendulum clock was one of the most popular time measuring devices. Short after the pendulum clock discovery another interesting innovation was added – minute hands and then second hands were added.

Modern Clocks
A Scottish clockmaker Alexander Bain patented an electronic clock in 1840. The mechanism of the clock was driven by either an electric motor or an electro-magnet.
The development of electronics has increased the popularity of electronic clocks, which have no clockwork parts at all. These clocks measure time by using the vibration of a tuning fork or measuring the behavior of quartz crystals.

Atomic clocks
Later, in the 1950s atom clock was invented. An atom clock is a type of clock that uses an atomic resonance frequency standard as its timekeeping element. Atomic clocks use the precise microwave signal that electrons in atoms emit when they change energy levels. Currently, the most accurate atomic clocks are based on absorption spectroscopy of cold atoms in atomic fountains. At the time being atom clock is the most precise time measuring device we have. Currently these clocks maintain an accuracy of 0.0000000001 second per day.

I seriously can not believe the advancements in the past few years. I love learning about it. I hear they have biometric time clocks now too. What are those?

The Deadlocked Election of 1800Jefferson, Burr, and the Union in the Balanceby James Roger Sharp Kansas, 239 pp., $34.95
On my shelves stand six studies of the presidential election of 1800, two more than James Roger Sharp cites in this most recent and substantial of them. There may be more. Why so many? The election was, as Sharp writes, "one of the two great political and constitutional crises in our nation's history" and, because of its cast of leading characters (Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and many others who fill the roster of the nation's founders), among the most memorable. In addition, the election set the course of American development long afterwards, and we debate public affairs today in terms never entirely free of those of that era.
But other reasons lie behind the endless flow of these studies, of which Sharp's ought to be the capstone. One is the relentless pulse of the publishing industry and the apparent need of so many publishers to have their own series of individual works on each presidential election and each president. Another is the inability of historians (as well as of their readers) to break free of the American measurement of historical time—a calendar cemented in our minds around quadrennial presidential elections. Not that, in our fixation on presidential terms, we're different from peoples who measure their lives by monarchies (the Edwardian Era, for instance) or dynasties (say, the Ming). But try as historians occasionally do to calibrate American history by such major developments as changes in capitalism (industrial and technological growth, say), or the spread of democracy (women's and African Americans' rights are examples), they—all of us, really—succumb to the regularities of our politics and mark the nation's days in presidential terms. And so there appear many books, probably too many, like this one.
Because of its particular qualities—comprehensiveness, balance, and readability above all—Sharp's work ought to be the last, at least for awhile, about the election of 1800 (actually, the two elections of 1800 and 1801, which is what Sharp's story is all about). There's little more to be said, and new evidence is unlikely to be found. Yet even if this isn't the last word, a reader can be confident that it's now the best.
The double election of 1800-01 compels our attention for two reasons: It was distinctive, and it was epochal. It was one of the only two presidential elections in American history to be resolved by the House of Representatives, the second being the election of 1824. (Two others, for different reasons, were resolved by different means, the election of 1876 by a special commission, the election of 2000 by the Supreme Court.) The election also marked the opening of a new stage in the nation's history, a stage, one can argue, that has never closed.
The troubles of 1800 and 1801 arose from an Electoral College tie—not, as one might expect, between the opposing presidential candidates, incumbent Adams and vice president Jefferson, but between Jefferson and his running mate, Aaron Burr. The Constitution's framers hadn't provided for the rapid emergence of political parties in the 1790s. So the young frame of government didn't yet require (as it soon would by the 12th Amendment) that electors distinguish between presidential and vice presidential candidates when they cast their electoral votes. More pertinently, Jefferson and Burr's young Democratic-Republican party had failed to arrange for even a single elector to withhold his electoral vote from Burr, the presumptive vice presidential candidate, and so Jefferson and Burr had received the same number of electoral votes. Under the terms of the Constitution, the electoral tie between the two men had to be resolved by the House of Representatives. The difficulty lay in the fact that the House was in Federalist hands and would remain so until the newly elected 7th Congress met in December 1801 (another quirk in the Constitution, one not to be remedied until 1934). As a result, the Federalist-controlled 6th Congress would have to select the new president from the two candidates of the opposition Democratic-Republican party. And the decision had to be reached in time for Inauguration Day on March 4, 1801.

Great minds run in Star Trek circles ...
A big time newspaper columnist ended his Sunday column by quoting a Star Trek movie.
So did I.
Abramson's Exit at The Times Puts Tensions on Display David Carr | The New York Times
" ... Before I came to work here, Gerald Boyd, the crusty or should I say "pushy"? managing editor who would eventually be swept up in the Jayson Blair affair, was interviewing me. I could tell it was not going well. He was skeptical of my lack of daily experience and my more noisy tendencies. I finally realized what he was waiting to hear.
" 'I understand that if I come to work at The New York Times, the needs of the many will frequently supersede the needs of the one,' I said.
"I meant it when I said it and I learn the truth of it with each passing day."
Truth about public land gets lost in translation George Pyle | The Salt Lake Tribune
" ... George Pyle, a Tribune editorial writer, was the only one in the theater who laughed when the Klingon prosecutor said, 'Don't wait for the translation,' in 'Star Trek VI'."
Probably not enough to get me a gig at The Times. But kinda cool anyway.

Swarm Container #200Posted: January 23, 2013 Filed under: Sporozoan, Swarm Leave a comment »
I am not there yet. The piece above is #181. It will be soon though when I reach this number and it is important only because I randomly placed a value on that number about 2 years ago seeing it as threshold to cross. While it has not been crossed yet the demand for The Swarm Containers is high and continues to grow. I have glass and backing board cut through #210 with frames cut and ready through 191 and, as always, enough torn and cut prints to push me through at least #500.
The Containers are evolving along with The Swarm and I think that the introduction of Trophy like elements into The Swarm will only make them more in demand.
To see them in person please stop by Twilight Artist Collective in West Seattle.
Reflected through Art.Posted: July 26, 2012 Filed under: Sporozoan Leave a comment »
Art is a reflection of society and the human condition and sometimes it is a literal reflection of its viewers. The Habitats are made with pigmented resin and provide reflective pools inside their structure. My younger brother took this shot at a recent show of mine. It is a self portrait as seen through the art, which makes it all the more rich in its ability force a contemplation of ones self. The viewer cannot help but see themselves while investigating the artwork. Look Closer.
Wallflower.Posted: February 21, 2011 Filed under: Sporozoan, Swarm Leave a comment »
The show at Wallflower Gallery was a beautiful combination of all the work The Sporozoan has thus far produced. I blended the Cavity prints with The Swarm and Trophies. The only thing missing was The Shrine. The space lended it self to The Sporozoan beautifully. The Swarm was playful in its movement around the space and it was great to see the different places that the Cavity prints could go. It allowed me to better visualize the piece as a whole art object rather than individual pieces. Seeing the torn prints pinned to the wall and complete prints cut, torn and folded into themselves in the Trophies was exciting and educational for me. The boundries of the piece, as a whole are limitless and I intend to push them again and again.
Who is Printtroll?Posted: January 10, 2011 Filed under: Parasite, Sporozoan, The trolls story 2 Comments »
Printtroll came into being about 20 years ago in the print studios of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. I had been printing the a la poupee prints of the Robin plate all night. At about 7:30 AM a fellow print major Shelleen came into the shop to start prepping for that days class. I had been up for almost 2 days straight and was working on caffeine and nicotine alone. Shelleen was every bit the printer I was not. She was organized clean and precise when it came to making and printing her work. I was like the Tasmanian Devil. I took over whole rooms and printed for hours on end with no real empathy for anyone else. I was dirty, surly and spoke to almost no one. Honestly not much has changed in the past 20 years. Shelleen asked me how the printing was going and I must have just grunted at her or something because she just replied: "RobRoy you are the troll of the print studios!" and she left me there.
I didn't start using the name Printtroll until about ten years later while talking about the incident with a mutual friend. It makes sense as a persona and I find it fits me to this day. I believe all my work grows out of the Intaglio print, which is a physically demanding process to make and print. I dig at my plates like an animal but have also matured as an artist to become more precise and searing with my emotion.
The Sporozoan Cavities Suite is the ultimate example of who I am as an artist to date. It is also the culmination of the creation of my persona as the Printtroll. Once the suite is finished I will move on to the work that it has allowed me formulate while processing and printing the suite.
Where it all started.Posted: January 7, 2011 Filed under: Parasite, Sporozoan, The trolls story Leave a comment »
Robin was the model who helped me create the foundation of The Sporozoan Cavities Suite. In 1991 I was in a sophomore at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and my drawing class very regularly had Robin as a model. He had a great body to draw from, long and dancer like and he always found interesting poses. Unfortunately he was incredibly annoying. He talked a lot and pestered the instructor with silly questions. One day I became so frustrated with him that I tore him limb from limb in my drawing. I was left with a lot of body parts.
I took the drawings home and discovered his chest cavity in my drawings to be very interesting. I reworked it again and again. Eventually I made this print (this image is the second version) from the drawings after attaching some hips and a part of a leg. I still have this plate and have revised it several times. Looking back I know this is where The Sporozoan Cavities was born.
I find it exciting that the rage and frustration of 20 years ago has matured into metaphor for everything that my work currently embodies. It is the blood and guts of humanity that The Sporozoan Cavities is about all the stuff that we love and hate.
Kickstarter.Posted: December 31, 2010 Filed under: Resources, Sporozoan Leave a comment »
Getting my Kickstarter project written and up was good for me. Now I have to get it funded. Funding through Kickstarter is different than most grants. The money doesn't come from a trust and it is not chosen by a small group of people. With a Kickstarter grant the money comes from many people all donating what they can, whether it is $5 or $500 the amount doesn't matter. What matters is that a large number of people come together to back a project they believe in. In my mind the more backers the better.
Although it would be great to have the amount I am looking for to be achieved in one fell swoop I like the idea a large number of people taking part in making something happen. 100 backers would be awesome and that would mean my average backer amount would only need to be $40. 150 backers and my average would only need to be $26.60.
With Kickstarters reward system backers not only have the pleasure of helping someone accomplish something they also can have a piece of the project being created. For instance every $25 backer of my project gets a Tiny Sporozoan Swarm. Of course rewards are not given out unless I attain my goal because unless I attain my goal I receive nothing from Kickstarter.
It is a great place to become a part of large and small projects and to help someone who is trying to accomplish a goal that might be virtually unattainable without that help. Find out what kind of philanthropist you are check it out today.
Sporozoan Swarm at Mithun.Posted: December 17, 2010 Filed under: Sporozoan, Swarm Leave a comment »
The Sporozoan Swarm has found a temporary home at the offices of Mithun in Seattle. The offices are a beautiful mix of old a new. Set inside a renovated pier building on the Seattle waterfront that provided The Swarm a perfect place to grow. This install is going to evolve over the course of its time there. I will be returning to the Mithun offices once a week to modify and add to the project.
The picture above is a detail from the main lobby install. More images can be seen here.

A Swarm to build on.Posted: January 28, 2010 Filed under: ETsy, Mini Prints, Parasite, Sporozoan 3 Comments »
The Sporozoan Swarm is a modular work of art, made up of torn and cut Intaglio and Lithographic prints combined with drawing, with a projected 500,000 components. These components break down from The Swarm into many small clusters and migrate around the world. The Swarms component structure allows it to ebb and flow through spaces in a fluid way, wrapping around doorways and shifting through corners: it suggests the fluid dynamics of life. Small Clusters of The Swarm are installed in places that are not typically seen as "art viewing spaces," allowing the greatest number of viewers the space to commune with the piece, free of sterile pretense, or limited access. This way of viewing makes the work become more a part of the viewer's multifaceted memory, rather than a one-dimensional ornament.
A great deal of site specific or time limited work relies on photography to allow viewers to witness and "own" the art. With The Sporozoan Swarm, the owner of the work or "The Keeper" of a Cluster becomes part of the larger whole of the interconnected world-wide installation. And while viewers are able to see photographs of my installations all over the world, providing a macro perspective, they are also able to install a piece of the whole on their wall using their own aesthetic, their own voice.
These Keepers become aesthetic partners when they decide how Clusters or individual pieces of The Swarm should be displayed. The Keepers physically touch, interact with, and hang the same pieces that I have printed, torn and drawn, contributing to the evolution of the whole. By handling the work they make it a less precious, more tangible, common grounded thing. The element of many small pieces available to people all over the world connects The Keepers to me and to the large-scale public installations of The Swarm I create. The Sporozoan Swarm acts as a binder of all of its Clusters and Keepers by connecting them through its on-line locating map and its serendipitous collective experience.
Art can change our world. Just let it be a part of your life.
Another Chance.Posted: May 9, 2009 Filed under: Parasite, Sporozoan, Swarm, Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Sweetie Boutique has asked me to stay on for another month. This will give all of you who weren't able to come last month another chance. It also allows me to be more prepared. I will be showing new Swarm Containers, at least one Trophy and two prints from The Sporozoan Cavities suite and of course the two installs in the display windows.
Come out say hello and check out the work. West Seattle should be hopping.

Who am I? Why am I here?
I have always thought I'd be the last person to utter the lines made infamous by Admiral James Stockdale, but of late I feel more and more like I've gone through a wormhole and popped out in an alternate universe.
It now appears that the mess in Libya and Egypt is Mitt Romney's fault. This is startling information I realize but facts are facts. Even though Democrats routinely criticized every move made by George W. Bush regarding Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan etc, it is clear that the dominate media in this nation will not allow any such commentary from Mitt Romney regarding the blunders of Barack Obama.
This evening I caught a few minutes of NBC Nightly News with Brain Williams. He began his report on the "political implications" by saying (this is a paraphrase but very close to verbatim) "Mitt Romney somehow wanted this to be about an apology when in fact it is about an ambassador losing his life".
Even this cynic was shocked by the boldness of Williams' obvious contempt for Romney and lack of any pretense of being a non-partisan conveyor of news.
In recent days I've come to believe that we conservatives are fighting a losing battle unless we change our tactics and goals. Major media and major entertainment must be fundamentally challenged, infiltrated, re-purposed and/or taken offline.
Hollywood and the dominant media are a cancer eating away at the vitality of our democratic republic. Those who can't be co-opted are being brainwashed and those who can't be brain-washed are being destroyed.
This environment is different than any I've ever experienced in a lifetime of following and participating in politics. I suspect time is very short for us to save our nation.

April 20th, 2013 (F1Plus / Chris Cameron-Dow) - Lewis Hamilton has joined the ranks of those with grid penalties this weekend in Bahrain, after his Mercedes team changed his gearbox after the end of Free Practice 3. The change was needed after a left-rear tyre failure caused damage to the rear-end of the car at the end of this morning's practice session.
Under the regulations, each driver must use the same gearbox for five consecutive events. Any unscheduled gearbox changes result in a five-place grid penalty for the driver.
As this is the fourth Grand Prix of the season, and Hamilton has had a gearbox change, he has been handed a five-place grid penalty by the stewards. Hamilton is now the third driver to have a grid penalty for this weekend's race - Esteban Gutierrez has a five-place penalty after taking Adrian Sutil out of the Chinese Grand Prix last week, and Mark Webber has a three-place grid penalty after his car lost a wheel on track last Sunday.

This Thanksgiving, drink what you like, but ask...
It has become clearly gratuitous when wine writers, be they professional, blogger, or otherwise, suggest to you, the consumer, what you should be drinking this Thanksgiving. It's all rubbish, quite frankly, to recommend certain wines, when the fact is that this annual celebration remains one of the only meals when just about any wine suffices, especially knowing the subjective nature of the American palate.
For those on the writing side of this equation, I encourage critics, columnists, and bloggers to read, study, and internalize Alder Yarrow's timeless post, "Stop The Thanksgiving Wine Recommendations". As to consumers, I encourage you to ask yourself while enjoying whatever bottle graces your table, what is in this wine? What ingredients comprise this beverage that I, along with my family and friends, will imbibe and digest tonight? Is it natural or man made?
Unfortunately, most Americans consuming wine this Thanksgiving holiday will have no idea what they are drinking. Sure, there are grapes in that fermented juice, but what else is included along the way? If you're drinking a Bonny Doon wine, then you'll know exactly what is in the bottle you're serving this holiday.
Others are doing the same such as Brick House Vineyards, which disclose what is in their wines on their bottle's labels. It's time all wine producers follow the lead of Bonny Doon, Brick House, and other producers who are providing transparency on the chemicals added in the vineyard and in the winery that eventually reach the American consumer's dinner table.
Drink what you like this Thanksgiving, but along the way please be sure to seek answers to what you are drinking. It's time to start knowing what is comprised in the wines that help us celebrate annual holidays or daily gatherings. The time has come for full disclosure, wine producers.

Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: Cypress Bioscience, Inc., Forest Laboratories, Inc., Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., Baxter International and Pfizer http://www.profits.zacks.com/ Business Wire CHICAGO -- May 14, 2009 Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Cypress Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYPB), Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX), Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (NYSE: AIB), Baxter International (NYSE: BAX) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE). Get the most recent insight from Zacks Equity Research with the free Profit from the Pros newsletter: http://at.zacks.com/?id=4579 Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog: Cypress Bio Banks on Savella Cypress Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYPB) reported financial results for the first quarter 2009 on May 11, 2009. Total revenues for the quarter were $7.9 million, and consisted primarily of collaborative payments from Savella development partner, Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX). This was generally in-line with our $8.2 million forecast. Net loss for the quarter was $9.2 million -- and significantly greater than our expectations -- due to approximately $5.0 million in R&D expense associated with a $3.0 million milestone payment to a licensor, Pierre Fabre, upon NDA approval of Savella and a $2.0 million payment in connection with an asset purchase transaction for a technology to diagnose and monitor Lupus. Earnings per share (EPS) for the first quarter equated to ($0.24). Cypress Bio exited the first quarter with $160.4 million in cash. Allied Irish Banks Improves In its first quarter trading update, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (NYSE: AIB) announced that operating profits before bad debt provisions were higher than the year-ago quarter, reflecting strong performance of its Capital Markets and Global Treasury divisions. However, AIB's other operating divisions are experiencing year-over-year declines in operating profits as loan demand continues weak, current account and deposit funding contract, and net interest margins shrink. The decline in the net interest margin principally reflects highly competitive markets, the low interest-rate environment, and higher wholesale funding costs, partly offset by better margins on lending. Baxter: More Heparin Problems Not long after reporting a decent first quarter, Baxter International (NYSE: BAX) has made headlines once again for its heparin product. A renewed heparin-related scare began over the weekend, with two deaths announced and a third patient suffered complications. The common link between all three patients is the administration of heparin. Initial reports indicate that the pharmaceutical ingredients were sourced in North America, likely from Pfizer (NYSE: PFE). The contaminant from the Chinese factory during the 2008 scare (over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate) was not found in the recently tested samples. Want more from Zacks Equity Research?

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterSet in the 60s and using the Cold War as its inspiration, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater forces the player to adopt a number of new skills to survive in Snake's new jungle environment. Danger lurks everywhere as Snake explores the beautifully-realised forests, encampments and rivers, with guards patrolling key routes, dangerous animals to contend with, and the uneven terrain and noisy foliage making the silent approaches the Metal Gear hero is famed for virtually impossible.However, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's lush locale can also be used to Snake's advantage, and the free-roaming gameplay allows the player to approach problems laterally. He can now climb trees to avoid detection and hang from branches with one arm while picking off assailants with his gun, or simply by dropping onto them. Similarly, the noise of guards crunching through fallen leaves can alter Snake to their presence, while the long grasses and collapsed trees provide additional cover.In addition to the jungle setting, which gives way to confrontations atop a waterfall and a top-secret military base, series creator and Director Hideo Kojima has added a number of key additions to make the most of the outdoor locations. Enemy guards are now more intelligent and work as a group, utilising SAS-style search and destroy patterns as they hunt, while the open spaces of the jungle exterior afford little in the way of hiding places at times.Kojima-san and KCEJ have also ensured that the weapons available during the Cold War period are authentically recreated, with Snake given access to automatic weapons used in the 60s, but none of the more futuristic guns seen in Snake Eater's predecessors. Such is the attention to detail that event he camouflage seen in the game is authentic to the period, as are the vehicles and communications devices on show.Another key addition to the Metal Gear mythos is a level of fallibility to Solid Snake. As the developing team look to continually evolve and develop the character, Snake is now prone to more human failings than in the past. His energy levels will flag faster depending on the terrain, with harsh climbs, lengthy fights and steep inclines rapidly depleting his reserves. In order to keep him at optimum performance, the player must kill and eat animals within the jungle, with Snake tucking into snakes, birds and fish during the course of the game. In a typically clever piece of Kojima logic, however, some animals will have an adverse affect on him, temporarily poisoning Snake and weakening him. However, if the player perseveres and continues to eat said creatures, he will gain a growing immunity to its effects and become hardier as a result.

The familiar 'Camouflage Index' where Snake adapts his look to blend into the surroundings and the Close Quarters Combat fighting system both remain, but new to Subsistence however is a 3D camera feature.

Mission: Impossible - Operation SurmaIn Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma, players step into the role of Ethan Hunt as he traverses the globe uncovering the insidious mysteries behind the malevolent Surma Corporation and its newly developed virus, the Ice Worm, which allows Surma to break into any computer system in the world. Armed with the hyper-cool, super spy technology and weaponry inspired by the Mission: Impossible movies, such as miniature remote-controlled devices, micro cameras, tranquilising darts and character disguises, Hunt must lead his elite team in preventing Surma Corp. from taking over the world.Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma features groundbreaking gameplay that empowers players to choose the tactics and game play style they wish to use in tackling mission objectives. For example, as Hunt, a player can forge an uneasy alliance with questionable characters in order to gain the upper hand against an overwhelming enemy force; or, the player can charge in, blasting away with the latest top secret IMF weapon; or, the player can slide silently in and out of the shadows, penetrating enemy lairs unnoticed. Ultimately, the nature of the adventure lies in the player's hands. Ving Rhames, who played Luther Stickell in both Mission: Impossible feature films, reprises his role by lending his voice and likeness in the game. As part of the IMF team assigned to assist Ethan Hunt in his efforts, Luther will provide critical mission intelligence, hack security systems and generally sweep target areas clear of enemy detection devices, thus allowing Hunt to penetrate more effectively.Features:Open-Ended Gameplay: Players will be empowered to play the game the way they like. Take out a guard and dispose of his body, sneak behind the guard and slip by unnoticed, distract the guard to another area, tranquilise the guard remotely or even take him prisoner are just a few options at the players disposal for nearly every situation.Super Spy Gadgets: As with any Mission: Impossible, the gadgets are where it's at. Operation Surma will put dozens of super-cool gadgets at players fingertips, including: The Wasp, a miniature remote-controlled "bug" with a devastating "sting"; a directional microphone used to overhear distant conversations; binoculars featuring a digital camera for evidence gathering; Electronic Warfare darts for disabling critical electronic devices; and, much more.Agent Moves and Abilities: As Ethan Hunt, players will have at their disposal all the moves that any respectable super agent has spent years perfecting, including: vaulting and mantling of objects; hand walking on ledges; wall hugging through tight spaces; crouching and creeping to keep a low profile; hand-over-hand maneuvering on pipes and girders. In addition, players will be able to execute numerous stealth disabling, restraining and finishing maneuvers on enemy characters.Gameplay Locations: Led by Mission Commander Swanbeck, players will follow clues and undertake missions in exotic locations around the world, including: the Los Muertos research facility in the southwestern United States; Sansara Prison in Northern Africa; and, Yugaria, a fictional eastern European country.
