Identical twins take the ice with Bakersfield Condors
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Like most minor-league hockey teams, the Bakersfield Condors have a plethora of new players to introduce to fans. In his 19-years of coaching, Condors Head Coach Troy Mann has a pair of players unlike any he's coached before – identical twins.
Watch Josh Helmuth interview and get to know Erik and Greg Burgdoerfer, originally from Long Island, N.Y., who are playing together for the Condors this season, the first time they've played together since college.
While one is a four-year veteran of the club, the other is a rookie who is already turning heads.

|Prevalence of large endoparasites at necropsy in horses infected with Population B small strongyles in a herd established in Kentucky in 1966.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16508764 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Two closed horse herds (Old Lot 4 and Field 24), infected since 1966 with Population B small strongyles resistant to thiabendazole (TBZ) and phenothiazine (PTZ), were terminated in February, March, and May, 2005. At necropsy, only the large endoparasites were identified and counted. The number of horses on pasture was 14 (239 days of age to 23 years old) for Old Lot 4 and two (3 to 20 years old) for Field 24. The time of the last antiparasitic treatment, relative to the year (2005) of necropsy, was 26 years for Old Lot 4 and 9 years for Field 24 horses. Gasterophilus intestinalis third instars (three to 113 specimens/horse) were found in all 16 horses and second instars (one to two) in two horses. Gasterophilus nasalis third instars (one to three) were recovered from five horses. Parascaris equorum infections (23 to 144) were in four horses (239 days to 4 years old). Strongylus vulgaris were present in the large intestine (one to 155) of 13 horses from 239 days to 23 years old and in the cranial mesenteric artery (two to 79) in 10 horses from 239 days to 23 years old. Strongylus edentatus were in the large intestine (two to 101) of 12 horses, ranging in age from 2.5 to 23 years old and in the ventral abdominal wall (one to 53) of six horses from 239 days to 21 years old. Specimens (seven to 872) of Anoplocephala perfoliata were in all horses. Oxyuris equi (one to 129) were recovered from seven horses (330 days to 23 years old). Thelazia lacrymalis (one to 85) infected the eyes of five horses (317 days to 11 years old).

This review is from White Mailing Labels 4013:
Excelent quality paper, very accurate when printing and the most important the price.
Thanks Avery
This review is from White Mailing Labels 4013:
For more than 17 years I've used this product twice weekly to prepare labels for our newspaper mailing. Over this past 6 months or year the quality has substantially dropped. the backing is too flimsey and if the product should tear apart at the factory it is slopily
taped back together. This causes the label at that point to be unuseable plus it causes the printinr to jam up and mess up everything. I have talked with Avery since the box says "Premium Quality Guaranteed" and all they offer is a replacement box of labels. They need to improve the quality by adhereing to the older standards.
This review is from White Mailing Labels 4076:
Great for writing on and large enough not to get lost.

these paintings in person will blow you away. they're so chunky so thick! there's a painting that sargent did at the met with an old man sitting in the woods and there's a deer next to him. if you know what that painting looks like , cornwell's have that feel.
TEN BUCKS! That's got to be the steal of the decade. All of you must buy this book IMMEDIATLEY, even if you have to pay full price for it.

I love cornwells work. One of my favorites.
-joshuathejames-its great that you've been posting stuff of artists that most people might not know. If you get a chance maybe you can find some stuff on Mead Schaeffer and Saul Tepper. I know Mead did alot of Sat. Eve. Post covers but he did other stuff too. And I think Saul Tepper was another brandywyne guy too. Really hard to find stuff on these guys but if you do, definately worth seeing.
-i.was.ink-what are they teaching you over there!? just kidding. Blame the faculty.
i gotta say i've been a disciiple of this guys work for a long time...definitely one of my favorites. just the best mix of everything, that guy...the dunn brandywine training, the brangwyn decorative, and that juicy ass precise brushwork! and the guy walked away from illustration almost entirely at the height of his career to paint murals...a guy after my own heart. its a good thing he died over 50 years ago, cuz if he were still alive, i'd hunt him down and fuck him all prison style to express my afffection for him.-c36
If leyendecker was still alive you might have a better shot with himOriginally Posted by el coro
dang Joshua, you got a great deal there!
so did N.C. Wyeth!and the guy walked away from illustration almost entirely at the height of his career to paint murals...
and then he died when a train ran over him while inside his car.
Nooo! He still had many great works that were bound to come.

dean cornwell is the man.
btw: christopher walken is in pic #4
amazing. heard about this guy before...wow.
I self-published a book on the fundamentals of drawing from life.
As the saying goes, "Dean wasn't done, until he was Dunn." Harvey Dunn a former student of Howard Pyle was Cornwell's principle teacher and if you compare Dean's earlier work with Harvey Dunn's you'll find that Dean essentially copied Dunn's style, brushwork, etc. That was the key to Dean's success in illustration. He was able to adjust his style to what was current at the time. He even did some paintings Nikolai Fechin style after Mr. Fechin stayed with him for a few days after coming to America from the USSR. Later on when he wanted to do murals he studied with Frank Brangwyn in England and when he came back to do murals, he did them Frank Brangwyn style. That's one of the things you'll notice as you go through that book and look at the pictures in their linear chronology is that his style changed with his times.
Another one of his tricks was how he did his paintings, the book on him talke about how he painted a full illustration in 3 hours. But that was a result of two things (as far as I can tell). A. well conceived and executed drawings and studies done in charcoal or graphite before hand. B. His typically limited color palette. If you look in his paintings, you can see the exact same colors showing up, especially that blue and red (those really stick out to me). He premixed all his colors before beginning and knew how to place each one precisely where it belonged! Now that's a skill I'd like to have.
Though Cornwell was married, it was not a happy relationship. He considered it his right to "have fun" with his models and for that his wife left him and took his children with him where they lived in a separate state. He continued to support them financially, but he wasn't any kind of father or husband to his family. He prefered the rock n' roll lifestyle of binges and big parties that, illustrators led at the time (they made A LOT more money back before tv was big!).
Pretty sad, but he did leave us volumes of beautiful, dramatic and expressive paintings.

American Art Review Feb. 2005 has 17 small reproductions of "recently discovered" Dean Cornwell paintings. Wow these are just amazing! Check the magazine out while its still on the shelves.

The poor man's Gwyneth Paltrow. Much more famous for showing in designer ads and upper crust events than for her acting career.
Her arms are toned, yet feminine. No wonder A-Rod dumped her.
Ears that big she can hear what we're typing about her.
Elf Chic
I used to like her, but when she left…ie fucked over Chris Robinson, I hated her. She cheated on him, because she's nothing but a worthless Hollywood fuckhole.
Shit on her.
Okay, but I had corn at lunch.
In her defense, drug addicts don't make themselves easy to live with.
and now she's got my Matt…. succubus… she looks great tho :\
that's a nice tight ass
God didn't give her any tits, so he made up for it by giving her dat ass!
I'd tongue bang her asshole.

Two College Station residents escaped an early morning fire at their home. Around 7 a.m., a fire started at one of the mobile homes in the Oak Forrest Mobile Home Park on Krenek Tap Road.
The College Station Fire Department says when the first unit arrived on scene, the fire was coming from one end of the home. Fire crews were able to get the fire under control and confine the fire damage to just one bedroom. The rest of the mobile home sustained heat and smoke damage.
Both occupants of the mobile home were able to evacuate without injury. The Community Action Response Team is assisting them to find housing. The Fire Marshal's Office determined bedding materials caught fire after a lamp fell on them, as the cause of the mobile home fire.

THANK YOU to all the MMC supporters and Partners who helped make this year's campaign bigger and better than ever! You shared some fantastic ideas for reaching your local audience, you put on some wildly creative events, you really raised your voices for rabbits everywhere!!
MMC got some GREAT media coverage - from small local papers to national news outlets! We so greatly appreciate our returning Partners and supporters, and are THRILLED to welcome several new Partners into the fold. This year saw the addition of our first Partner from Australia, making MMC a truly GLOBAL campaign!
The strength of Make Mine Chocolate! - and the reason it works - is YOUR participation.
By working together to share a single message, we CAN make a difference in the lives of thousands of rabbits!
Well done!
Kudos to CHRS / MMC volunteers extraordinaire Julie (on air), Cara (handling/logistics), and foster bun Maple (with a shout-out to Foster Mom Megan for transport) for their appearance on Channel 4's Daytime Columbus Find a Friend segment today!
Julie did a fantastic job talking to host Gail Hogan about house rabbit needs and proper care, and promoting Make Mine Chocolate's positive message that rabbits make great indoor, family pets in the right home. She and Gail emphasized that rabbits shouldn't be impulse purchases, and until a family is ready for a 10-12 year commitment, they should choose chocolate or toy bunnies instead.
Job well done, ladies!!

Kevin Dillon Comes Aboard
Nebraska added a commitment from a four-star quarterback prospect to the 2015 recruiting class in Denton, Texas product Kevin Dillman. At 6'4", he's got the height you look for in a passer. He's also a dual-threat type player that can make plays with his legs. Reviews are mixed because he's Swedish and has missed time playing high school football in the U.S. due to visa issues and injury. But the rosiest reviews suggest he could be a "program changing" kind of recruit. The likes of which we may not have seen since Tommie Frazier. No pressure there.
Prior to his most recent injury, Dillman had been rated a five-star prospect by 247 sports. His offer list includes Florida State, UCLA, Tennessee and Washington along with many others. Combine him with the other six players so far in the class of 2015 and you see perhaps the makings of perhaps the best recruiting class for the Huskers in this century. All of them have received a four-star rating from at least one major recruiting site.
He'll certainly be a player that the Huskers will have to fight to keep. If he stays healthy for his senior season you could see his stock rise again and the market for his services to heat up that much more.
With Dillon and the emerging class the potential is there for bright things in the future.
6 comments so far
No offense (no pun intended!) but we've kind of heard this hype before concerning QB recruits at NU. If this Swede joins the team, player development will be issue going forward. Has NU actually excelled at PD since Callie and BOP have been on board? Answer is "yes" and "no". Consistency across the board in that regard has been lacking.
By the way, does the unincorporated village of Swedeburg still exist along Highway 77 in Nebraska?
"Dillon"...really?? The author should at least try to get his name right. Welcome to the team Mr. Dillman! GBR!!!
FUCK YEAH! Dat's what I'm talkin' 'bout! '15 is kickin' ASS!
Yes it does.
Keep in mind folks, even though Brook Berringer's legs didn't seem to be moving that fast, the only time you really understood how fast he was going was when the hash marks were blurring underneath his feet. 6' 4" Welcome to the party Mr. Dillman.
Weez iz #9 right now, Rivals, '15 class, with a surplus of 4* dudes over 3* dudes—7 ttl dudes. This is the way is should look, hot diggity!
Great addition.. Welcome to the family!

Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday expressed concern over a leadership tussle at the grassroots level of her National League for Democracy, apologizing to constituents for the "disunity" within the country's top opposition party.
She particularly cited a party rift at the Thone Khwa township in Burma's largest city Rangoon, likening the dispute to an "argument" among family members.
She said it was a "natural occurrence" for any organization, but called on local residents to "correct" the issue through their participation in future elections.
It was believed to be the first time the Nobel laureate had addressed the issue of an "internal problem" within the party in public.
She said the NLD should have an "open relationship with the public," stressing that dishonesty would lose the party the support it needs as the country undergoes sweeping changes through political and other reforms under President Thein Sein's nominally civilian government.
"Let me ask you something – and you must answer my questions bravely. Have you heard about disunity in the NLD in Thone Khwa township?" she asked the crowd, which responded that it had.
"I would like to apologize that the NLD in Thone Khwa township has been dealing with internal problems. I also want to tell you not to worry about it, because this is a natural occurrence. Even a family has arguments, so within an organization arguments will happen as well."
She did not elaborate on the party problem at the township level.
'Right to be heard'
Aung San Suu Kyi said that within a democratic organization, every member has the right to be heard, but that certain people can "misuse free speech for their own interests."
"We cannot misuse the privilege of having the right to do what we want. Nor can we say whatever we want, even if we have the right to say it," she said.
"We must think before we speak about whether or not our speech is right."
The party leader, who won a seat in parliament for the first time in April, told party members that although bickering within the NLD had become public, they needn't be unduly concerned.
"It is a sad thing that the public knows about the disunity in the NLD. But you should not be worried. The public must be made aware of the situation and feel empowered to amend it," she said.
"In a democracy, people have the right to make changes within a political party. How do you make such changes? It is through a vote that one can control or make changes within a political party."
While Aung San Suu Kyi was specifically addressing the situation in the Thone Khwa NLD branch, reports suggest that NLD members from a few other townships have also submitted complaints about local leadership selection.
The NLD is believed to be organizing village and township level meetings ahead of a nationwide conference.
The NLD swept 43 of the 44 seats up for grabs in April by-elections, becoming the biggest opposition party in the military-dominated parliament.
Four of the seats captured by the NLD were in Naypyidaw, the country's capital and bastion of the military and government.

Pirates, Cardinals struggling against fastballs
Pirates/MLB Videos
Runs will be at a premium at PNC Park this weekend as the Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals bring anemic offensive attacks into the latest chapter of their National League Central rivalry.
Thanks to a lack of lumber, both clubs have fallen well behind the Milwaukee Brewers and must play catch-up to return to the playoffs thanks to a lack of lumber.
The Pirates rank 10th in the NL in on-base plus slugging percentage (.682), while the Cardinals have fared even worse (.670 OPS, 12th in the NL).
Pirates and Cardinals hitters crushed fastballs last season. The Pirates were the NL's best team when pitchers brought the heat, adding +0.39 runs of value per 100 fastballs seen compared to the league average. St. Louis also did considerable damage, placing third in the NL at +0.27 runs above average.
They're both getting manhandled by fastballs in 2014, however, ranking in the bottom third among NL clubs.
Can't catch up
Lowest run values vs. fastballs in NL:
Team Runs/100 fastballs
Padres -1.22
Cardinals -0.59
Diamondbacks -0.58
Dodgers -0.43
Pirates -0.42
Source: Fangraphs.com
No player has scuffled more against fastballs than Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer, who handled heat just fine while winning an everyday job in 2013 (+0.42 runs). Right fielders Allen Craig (+2.22 runs in 2013) and Jose Tabata (+1.3 runs) clobbered fastballs last season, but they have fans clamoring for prized prospects Oscar Taveras and Gregory Polanco in 2014.
Players Runs/100 fastballs
Jordy Mercer -4.46
Allen Craig -1.96
Jose Tabata -1.59
Peter Bourjos -1.41
Jon Jay -1.15
To make matters worse for the Pirates, scheduled Cardinals starters Michael Wacha (+0.08 runs per 100 fastballs thrown), Shelby Miller (+0.18) and Lance Lynn (+0.44) boast above-average fastballs. St. Louis hitters will have to contend with Edinson Volquez's gas (+0.96), but they could break through against Francisco Liriano (-1.66) and Charlie Morton (-1.23).

Comments, questions and tips
This went down very well with my family who all had seconds even though some of them claim not to like red cabbage! I left the chestnuts out as it's not Christmas yet, but will include them next time I make it as I think it will make it more special. Any suggestions for good accompaniments? Mash and broccoli was a bit boring.
Great flavours, use eating apples not cooking apples as they mush up during cooking. I opted for half the amount of cabbage which was more than enough, a simple red cheap wine, and no chestnuts as I could not get any. However it still tasted absolutely amazing and is still in the running for the upcoming festive period. Served with butter roasted potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. Give it a go it's well worth it.
I slightly varied the recipe as pork shoulder was sold out and I had some spare veg. I used a rolled pork belly, sealed it whole in the plan for about 10 mins to hold the shape, then thickly sliced it and fried the slices as per the recipe. I also added mushroom and chopped carrot to the onions and cabbage. It was delicious!
I was really disappointed with this recipe. I found the pork/cabbage ratio totally off. I had way too much cabbage left after all the pork had been eaten. I had to add some chicken stock too as there wasn't much liquid for the cabbage and pork to cook in. Maybe I just had the wrong size and shape pot to cook it in. Don't think I'll be cooking this one again.
I don't get it. Knowing that cabbage is rather bulky I only used a small one 550kg. I have ended up with loads of red cabbage: it has not cooked down as much as I thought it would. On the other hand however, having followed the cooking instructions my apples have gone to mulch and I am left with only the peel to show that there were any in the pot. Looks nothing like the picture. Taste is ok, sans plus. Must be me....

Lebron James is now #6
LeBron James wanted to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The only place that could happen was Miami.
Ending weeks of silence and drama, the two-time MVP said on his ESPN special from Greenwich, Conn. on Thursday night that he's decided to join the Miami Heat and leave the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for the championship he covets.
"I can't say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible," James said. "But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today."
Olympic teammates in Beijing, James, Bosh and Wade all helped deliver gold medals.
This time, it'll be about a gold trophy, the NBA championship one -- the one Wade got in 2006, the one that James and Bosh have yet to touch.
"Winning is a huge thing for me," James said.
It's a huge victory for the Heat, who got commitments from Wade and Bosh on Wednesday. That duo, along with James, formed the upper echelon of the most-celebrated free-agent period in league history.
Heat president Pat Riley landed them all, a three-pack of stars to help shape his quest for a dynasty in Miami.
And for Cleveland, a city scorned for generations by some of sports' biggest letdowns, James' long-awaited words represented a defeat perhaps unlike any other.
James is gone. Home sweet home no more.
He said he made the decision Thursday morning and knows it won't go over well in Ohio.
"They can have mixed emotions, of course," James said, adding that Akron will "always be home for me."
His new home -- part-time or otherwise -- wasted no time in beginning the celebration. Horns honked outside the arena and on Miami Beach, where Wade was watching the announcement with members of his inner circle.
"It's going to be crazy," Wade said.
James, Bosh and Wade entered the pros in the same year, the respective Nos. 1, 4 and 5 picks in the 2003 draft. They went their separate ways: James to Cleveland, Bosh to Toronto and Wade to Miami, where he won a championship partnered with center Shaquille O'Neal in 2006. That year, James, Bosh and Wade all signed matching contracts to make sure they were all unrestricted free agents at the same time.
Season-ticket sales for the Heat's coming 41-game season were suspended Thursday afternoon after the entire supply of available seats were sold out. Not every seat has been released for sale yet and some will be held back for single-game purchases at the 19,600-capacity arena.
"I'll believe it when I see it," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said while attending a tournament of high school stars at Cleveland State University, co-sponsored by James and Nike, one of the 25-year-old's corporate partners.
Believe it.
The Cavaliers, a franchise that was in ruins before winning a lottery drawing and bringing James up Interstate 77 from his Akron home, have had the upper hand ? until now. They were able to offer him more money ? $30 million more ? than any other team.
This wasn't about money, though.
Wade and Bosh both said they would take fewer dollars to make this happen. And that, combined with what Riley and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said to James on the recruiting tour, was enough to pull off the stunner.
Because they have overspent while trying to please James and win the first title by any of Cleveland's three pro sports teams since 1964, the Cavs are strapped with a few big contracts that have eaten up salary-cap space and prevented them from making roster moves to improve the team.
They've come close to winning it all with James, who at 6-foot-8 and 260 pounds has the quickness of a point guard and brute force of an NFL defensive lineman.
With the possible exception of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, James is the NBA's premier player, but his legacy cannot be fulfilled until he wins a championship.
If it's going to happen soon, it'll happen in Miami.

Whoa. I've got to say this. LeBron isn't my favorite. But who cannot like that team. They have Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and King LeBron James. That trio will rock the NBA. Kobe and Championship? Goodbye. Gone. Miami Heat... here comes a CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
They will rock the NBA he made a good choice, he felt he needed to be with a team he can make it to the finals with, and he chose a good team, i think they'll come out firing and get a chmpionship ring
only lebron knows whether he made the right decision, so if u think he made the wrong decision, u dont knw urself. if lebrons heart feels in the right place, then he made the right decision, regaurdless of wut others say. good luck lebron
we cant 4get miamis draft pick....DA'SEAN BUTLER .! my hero and legend at wvu. the big three can deffinitley teach him and maybe get him some minutes after rehab for his knee injury. WEST VIRGINIA LOVES U DA'SEAN .! <3 GOOD LUCK IN ALL U DO .!
I don't get it, everyone is saying he made the wrong decision, but of course he made the right decision! He has his priorities right, he wants to win, and the place where he is most likely to win right now is Miami! it's completely logical, and I hope he does really well in Miami. Money wasn't a factor in his decision, so that was a mature, classy decision. everyone is like, "he hasn't won a ring, so he isn't good blah blah blah" but now he has the best chance to win a ring. if he was playing on a decent team he would've won four or five rings by now, but you can't win a ring with one guy on the team. that's how it was in Cleveland, but it's gonna be different in Miami. Maybe he'll have to give up some points to Wade and Bosh, but again, he doesn't really care about that as long as he wins. so it was a great decision, can't wait to see the Heat play. so all you who say it was the wrong decision, he just has his priorities right!!
I like lebron a LOT less now after that decision. I am a Cavs fan and I still am even though Lebrons gone. How much you wanna bet a bunch of people are gonna be Heat fans now because they are the favorites to win. Just like the celtics in 08. All of the sudden when the celtics are the favorites to win it in 08,, theres a bunch of celtics fans. Just a bunch of bandwagon jumpers.
I still like Lebron, just less. And u act like I just had a whole paragraph that bagged on Lebron... Well I didnt!!! Ya and I agree that the cavs were losers last season they totally dissapointed.But seriously u cant say Mo williams and Antawn Jamison were cheerleaders. Behind Lebron, they had the most points usually. And Shaq had some big games. Like Game 5 boston series 21 points!!!!
Ummmm did you like the cavs before or after Lebron signed with them? Why is everybody so mad at him he had seven years of dissapointment the Cavs got average player who did NOTHING to help. Did you eve see
last years playoffs LeBron was dunking on one side and blocking on the other. While the other "role players" were being cheeleaders. Give me an L give me an O give me an S give me an E give me an R whats that spell? Cavaliers!!!!!!!!
The owner of the cavs should have paid more, because what he said was unorthodox, stupid, and just plain strange.
Lebron James will hav a great season with the Heat. Beacuse there's Dwanye wade and Chirs Bosh.Those three will win the Nba Finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a Miami Heat fan and Dwyane Wade is my favorite player so I'm excited about this move, I know everyone says "How will they get the ball from each other?" I think it will work out and they will win atleast 6 rings, and they will beat the Lakers finally. I'm from Missouri

When we stopped by Kevin and Tami Price's home early one morning, we expected the chaos that is usually underway when three young kids are getting ready for school. Not with Kevin at the helm. Everything at the Price household is surprisingly calm. Lunches are made, even with Mickey Mouse cutouts in the bread! And, yes, Dads can do ponytails too as Kevin helps with his daughter's hair.
Kevin says he still hears the question," You're a stay at home Dad?"
I do, I get it more from guys then from Moms. Moms think it's cool guys think it might be weird they can't understand how I don't have a regular job.
A regular job? Kevin is working all day! He says being a stay-at-home Dad is harder than some jobs he's had. With the laundry, and the cooking and the banking, he says he puts in more hours than he would at an office job.
Kevin's wife Tami has always wanted to be a teacher. Having Kevin stay at home with the kids while she's at school, paints the perfect picture. "Getting married, having kids, my dreams all came true. I can go to school, get my work done and I know the kids are safe," Tami says.
And while she's at work, in between the laundry, the snacks, and the homework Kevin sneaks in some time for his radio show. He records a new show every week. It's based on his family and covers everything from bullying in school to poverty, to traveling with kids.
Kevin says being a good parent is about reading to your hugs, hugging your kids and just spending time with them.
"Being able to say I was there for everything they do, I see, I'm always with them, I wouldn't trade it for anything."

But thanks to great timing, a sharp eye and more than a little bit of luck, the Nestor Armijo House will get a chance to get some of its integrity back.
Located downtown on Amador Avenue, it was the first two-story house in Las Cruces, and the first building recognized by the Doña Ana County Historical Society in 1967. It landed on the National Historic Register in 1976.
Over the last several years, deep cracks have appeared on its sinking west side as it has sat vacant.
In late 2011, the house's owner, Citizens' Bank of Las Cruces, deeded it to the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce, which intends on making it its new home.
The newly formed Mesilla Valley Preservation group, led by Eric Liefeld, had already emerged as one of the house's most impassioned advocates, and was tapped to help uncover its history.
Las Cruces businessman Nestor Armijo built much of it around the early 1880s, and it has lived multiple lives, first as a beloved family home and later as an office space.
As such, it has changed a lot since Armijo's days, perhaps most notably with the renovation done by Pioneer Bank in the early 1980s.
As part of that project, one of the two Territorial-style windows on the south side was replaced with a long bank teller window, while its "partner" remained.
Liefeld, who's been involved with adobe renovations in Mesilla, said he became "a little obsessed" with the remaining nine-over-six wood frame window, studying its design and construction.
Though the glass had been replaced, it seemed highly likely to date to the original single-story part of the house built almost a century-and-a-half ago.
"And then I recalled I'd seen one just like it. It'd been at my house for years," Liefeld said.
Several years ago, Liefeld heard that the city was clearing out a storage unit and planned to dispose of its contents, including old vigas and other unwanted construction-related items, some of which he later learned were removed from the Armijo House during the Pioneer Bank restoration.
"They asked if I wanted the window. They didn't have any use for it, of course, so I took it, thinking I'd eventually find some project to use it in," Liefeld said.
But it wasn't until he got to see the other window up close that it clicked. Sure enough, his window is a perfect match, down to remnants of green paint from the original shutters.
The plan is to take out the teller window, which apparently no one is fond of, and put back the old window in the spot it sat in for more than a century.
Living relic
The Armijo House started off as a four-room adobe, built some time just after the Civil War, Liefeld said.
Armijo added on the distinct Victorian style, two-story addition shortly after he acquired it in 1877 from the widow of fellow freighter Bradford Daily.
Liefeld doesn't know for sure where the windows came from.
John Barncastle and Benjamin Franklin Harrover, who both came here during the Civil War as part of the California Column, were among the property's early owners.
It's possible Harrover, an experienced carpenter, built the windows himself, Liefeld said.
Regardless, having windows in a home in those pre-railroad territorial days was a sign of some prosperity, and despite their age, both are in excellent shape.
It is these kinds of little details the chamber hopes to preserve and restore, while making the Armijo House a modern useable space, said chamber design director and local architect Richard Haas.
"It has to be a working office. It's not a museum. We don't want it to be a relic," Haas said.
Yet maintaining those elements that make the Armijo House unique is a primary goal, Haas said, and partially why it appealed to the chamber in the first place.
"Moving in here fits with our goals. We really wanted to be downtown. It just made a good community fit. And (this project) maintains the history of Las Cruces, which we support," Haas said.
Part of that is figuring out what is old, and what merely looks old, like "Victorian" style light fixtures and wallpaper.
Historical renovations usually focus on the "period of significance" in determining what to bring back, and what things could go.
"This house has changed a lot over the years," Liefeld said. "Part of the dance we are about to undertake is deciding what you keep and what you don't keep."
Uncovering history
Helping that process are two studies, one a structural analysis showing where the building is now, and the other a detailed report funded by Armijo's descendents that shows how the building has changed since the 19th century.
After Armijo's death in 1911, his granddaughters Josephine Gallagher and Gertrude Ascarate and their families lived in the house, and undertook a major renovation in 1914, adding Arts and Crafts design elements inside while maintaining Armijo's Victorian style features.
Armijo's descendents are deeply involved with the ongoing project, Liefeld said, contributing numerous family photos that have provided invaluable details that will now inform the current renovation.
A small grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation funded the structural analysis, which determined the building is in solid shape, despite the apparent sinking and cracks on the west side, which experts believe is fixable, Liefeld said. "It's definitely a salvageable building. You have to remember, whatever the challenges may be, these are three-foot thick walls. That is thicker than most adobes around here," Liefeld said.
Liefeld said several well-intentioned "improvements" made in more recent times, including concrete sidewalks and skirting around the base of the house, as well as a leaking sprinkler system, have probably caused most of the structural damage.
The Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce will soon launch the capital campaign that it hopes will get it closer to its $2.3 million project goal, and the board would like to move in by next year, Haas said.
The project will also include the construction of a new building to the west, with a central patio connecting the two structures.
Haas said the chamber plans to tap Pat Taylor, who has led numerous adobe restorations of similarly unique buildings in the region, to assess just what needs to be done to address the eroding adobe.
More than half of the capital has already been raised, and the chamber will also establish an endowment for future costs, Haas said.

"The House of Don Nestor Armijo"
One of the prettiest residences in Las Cruces, with the most beautiful surroundings is that of Mr. and Mrs. Nestor Armijo. It is situated on Convent Street (ed-now known as Lohman Avenue), and adjoins the Academy of the Visitation on the east. Strangers visiting this place are invariably attracted by its exterior taste and elegance; but that feeling is trifling in comparison with the pleasure experienced on an examination of the house and the premises enclosed. The neat picket fence in front of the building is uniform in appearance and painted white. Over the walk leading from the street to the portico is an archway, some twenty paces in length, where climbing plants entwine their spiral tendrils, creating a pleasant shade.
In front of the mansion, and on both sides of the archway, are flowerbeds, triangular in shape, with their margins protected by granite masonry. In these beds are luxuriant growths of sweet-scented exotics, intermingled with our own spring pansies and peonies with in showy costumes. In these flowerbeds and in the jardinteres which adorn the windows we saw many varieties of the rose - white, red, yellow, and cinnamon; with eglantine, passion flowers, and honeysuckles in abundance. The pink, white, and red geraniums, emerging from their leafy clusters, were beautiful, and conveyed the idea of damsels in the teens just maturing to womanhood.
Learning that we were bent on making a survey, the fair and amiable lady of the house, Senora Armijo, conducted us to the portico, where we enjoyed a fine view of the vineyard and orchard, with the many arboles of peach, pear, apricot and plum, with strawberry beds and other beds of the odoriferous manzania and yerba buena.
After explaining the peculiar properties of some plants which were imported from Mexico, and which bloom and send forth their fragrance only in the night, our kind conductress invited us to step inside. Entering the spacious hall, we were impressed with its elegance and convenience. Its doors opening to the north and south, admit the cool breeze, so grateful in a southern climate.
After we had looked into the study of Senor Armijo, which is richly furnished and tastefully arranged, we ascended the thickly carpeted stairway to the parlor. Here was every indication of luxury, without undue extravagance. In the center was a handsome marble table, on which was a lamp resting on some rare tassel work, which the lady informed us was executed by the students of the Academy of the Visitation. We also noticed on the table an ornamental card basket of solid silver; but the chief object of attraction in the room was an oil painting- the life like semblance of Mr. Carlos Armijo and beautiful bride. This picture, six by nine feet, evinces the rare skill of the artist, Mr. Howland, of Denver, and its perfection is undisputed (ed-the painting of Nestor Armijo's son and his wife now hangs in the Las Cruces history exhibit at Branigan Cultural Center).
Two other paintings in oil adorn the room, the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Nestor Armijo, executed twelve years since by Monsieur Loamoir. While both are masterpieces, that of the lady is particularly striking. It would seem as though her grace and beauty inspired the artist, for no lovelier face ever adorned the canvas of a painter.
In a boudoir on the same floor we noticed a magnificent Spanish bedstead. It is probably the only one of the kind in the west, but they are less rare in the wealthier mansions of Old Mexico. It is made of solid brass and is ornamented with innumerable figures. It tapers into the shape of a pavilion; the curtains on either side being of rich brocade, while the canopy is lined with blue silk. The whole effect being that of a fairy temple, devoted to the worship of the drowsy god.
Stepping forth upon the balcony the view was lovely. Below was the beautiful garden; in the distance lay the quaint and quiet city of Las Cruces, while beyond was a long stretch of wild country extending for miles until brought to an abrupt termination by the sharp outline of the Organs. It would be difficult to imagine a more beautiful picture, even if our graceful hostess added to the beauty of the scene.
About Nestor Armijo
If the chamber of commerce had been around during his time, chances are Nestor Armijo would have been one of its key members.
Born in 1831 in Los Padillas near Albuquerque, Armijo came from a powerful family that traced its roots in New Mexico back to the 1600s. He was educated at Christian Brothers School in St. Louis and returned to New Mexico in 1846.
His brothers Nicolas, Cristobal, and Justo, helped create Albuquerque First National Bank, and were involved in various political and business affairs, running stores in El Paso and Albuquerque.
For 20 years, Armijo operated a successful freighting service on the Santa Fe Trail, hauling freight by mule train from Kansas City to as far south as Chihuahua.
Armijo came through Las Cruces in 1849 shortly after the town was laid out, and in 1863 opened the town's first large retail merchandise store. Armijo also had large sheep and cattle operations, including the Three Rivers Ranch near Tularosa that was later owned by Albert Fall.
Armijo and his wife Josefa, who herself came from a distinguished New Mexico family, were among the city's social elite, and supported numerous civic and educational efforts.
The couple reportedly struggled to have children, but had one son Carlos, who also became a successful mercantilist. Carlos married Beatrice Otero - an oil painting of the couple is featured in the Las Cruces history exhibit at Branigan Cultural Center - and they had two daughters, Josephine and Gertrude.
According to a 1978 Sun-News article Carlos and Beatrice died in 1902, and their girls moved into their grandparents' home.
Armijo died in the home in May 1911 at 85 years old. Much of the town turned out for his funeral at St. Genevieve's Catholic Church, the construction of which he'd helped fund years before.
His death made news around New Mexico.
"Albuquerque old timers remember him chiefly for his square and honorable business methods, which resulted in the accumulation of a fortune estimated as close to a million," the Albuquerque Journal reported.
One of Nestor Armijo's proudest accomplishments was his home on the southern edge of Las Cruces.
In 1877, he bought a large parcel next to the Loretto Academy from the widow of fellow freighter Bradford Daily, who had built a four-room adobe there in 1868.
Armijo added some rooms onto and a long hallway, as well as planting floral gardens, vineyards, and gardens around his home.
On the west side of the house sat an L-shaped adobe building used as a kitchen and dining area. A white picket fence and landscaped archway wrapped around the front of the house.
One of the main reasons the second floor - a somewhat unusual construction for an adobe - came about was to accommodate a large English-made brass bed Armijo had bought from his brother. It was so big they had to vault the ceiling, according to one account.
He added a veranda on the front and a Victorian style jigsaw trim under a wood-tiled, pitched roof, elements that survive today, though in deteriorating condition.
In the summer of 1882, the Rio Grande Republican extolled the beauty of the Armijo "mansion."
"One of the prettiest residences in Las Cruces, with the most beautiful surroundings is that of Mr. and Mrs. Nestor Armijo.
Strangers visiting this place are invariably attracted by its exterior taste and elegance," the paper reported.
Across the street, just east of where Ikard's Furniture is now, sat a large Spanish-Colonial adobe they called the "meson" that housed servants, gardeners, freighters, and farm hands who worked for Armijo. It was reportedly torn down in 1950.
Armijo's granddaughters Josephine and Gertrude both married, but continued to live on the family property.
Gertrude converted the old kitchen and dining room building into a home, and lived there until her death in her home in 1967 at the age of 85, according to Sun-News archives.
Josephine and her husband Peter Gallagher lived in the old house - hence the name Armijo-Gallagher House. After she died in 1977, the ownership of the house went to the then-owners of the Loretto Shopping Center.
Pioneer Savings and Trust renovated the house in 1981, and an attorney and Grubb and Ellis later used it as an office.
The Armijo-Gallagher House was one of the first properties in Las Cruces placed on the New Mexico Listing of Cultural Properties, in 1969. In 1976, it became one of only 15 properties in the county listed on the National Historic Register.

The White House today is again trumpeting it's willingness to cut spending. President Barack Obama has already signed into law $4 billion in cuts for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, and officials say the president is willing to accept another $4 billion.
But officials won't say where that $4 billion comes from.
Repeated questions on this subject to various officials went unanswered today, and one Democrat familiar with the matter said the silence was on purpose, perhaps to avoid committing to anything ahead of talks with congressional leaders this afternoon.
One possible spot to watch: money leftover from previous earmarks, spending projects directed by lawmakers in earlier years. There is about $5 billion unspent, and Congress took back $2.7 billion of that in the measure just signed to fund government for the next two weeks. That leaves $2.3 billion in cuts that would be, for the White House, relatively easy.
UPDATE: Gene Sperling, chairman of the National Economic Council, told reporters in a briefing that the White House is now willing to enact another $6.5 billion in cuts, and maybe even more. But he wouldn't say what any of them are. Under persistent questioning, he repeatedly said, "Stay tuned."

D-Link ships MediaLounge HD media hub
updated 08:15 am EST, Tue December 19, 2006
D-Link MediaLounge Ships
D-Link this morning rolled out its DSM-510 MediaLounge hub. The media player is one of the first truly HD-capable ways of streaming content to a TV, the company claims: plugging into either an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection, the DSM-510 can supply video as sharp as 1080i from end to end by using an HDMI connector at the TV. Tight integration with Intel's Viiv media center technology is also a relatively new feature. Owners can stream media from any readily accessible Windows XP Media Center PC (though this is not required, the company says); however, the hub can also reach Intel's Viiv Zone to play on-demand content -- such as music, news, or TV shows -- without depending on a host PC. A front-mounted USB port provides storage space for content on the MediaLounge device itself. D-Link sells the DSM-510 for $240.

Like a Phenomenon
messaging: simply a modern form of instant information, or
the next nail in the coffin of proper communiqué?
Kathryn Lurie
In March, text messaging played a rather large role in
the biggest argument a friend of mine and I had ever had.
It started out as a miscommunication, but it was continued
because of a complete communication breakdown. My friend and
I were on the verge of a massive fight, and the principal
cause of it was our chosen methods of communication (text
messaging and e-mailing). We were both under a lot of stress;
she was planning her wedding, in which I was a bridesmaid,
and I had just gone through a breakup. For almost a week all
we did was write to each other to say how we were pissing
the other off, and since we were both on the defense, there
was no room to interpret the simplest text messages (even
Im sorry u feel that way) as anything but aggressive. The
only way to resolve the fight was a F2F discussion. (For the
uninitiated, thats face-to-face.)
The old adage of less-is-more is true for many things. Decorating,
eating, bikinis, whatever. But in most circumstances, it should
not apply to communication. We already exist in a world where
its practically unnecessary to speak to each other. In much
the same way we transfer money and accounts around on the
Internet without ever touching a dollar, we can communicate
with someone for days and weeks on end without ever going
to the trouble of hearing each others voices.
Text messaging, texting, Short Message Service, whatever you
want to call it, is an easy, quick way to make plans; to be
able to chat subtly during long, boring meetings; or a way
to converse while youre in a noisy bar or other circumstances
where cell-phone use would otherwise not be possible. Above
all, its quick. Were such suckers for instant gratification,
arent we? But short-direct-simple is not always the
best policy. Im not going to argue against the numerous merits
of texting; however, we should pay attention to how this form
of contact can aid and abet simply dreadful communication.
Even a couple years ago, when texting was not as omnipresent
as it is now, CBS did a story about how linguists are alarmed
at the amount of abbreviating going on in texts. They worry
that the proliferation of text messaging . . . will enforce
sloppy, undisciplined habits among American youths. LOL!
No kidding. At netlingo.com or webopedia.com, you can even
find a dictionary of text-messaging abbreviations. Did you
know that UV is shorthand for unpleasant visual? And that
F2T means free to talk? And T+ means think positive? There
are dozens more of these irksome little acronyms. What is
happening to our language, people?
Its no secret that text-messaging has become an enormously
popular way to talk, and its becoming more ubiquitous by
the day. According to BBC news, mobile phone users in the
U.K. sent a record 3.3 billion text messages in May, and they
expected that figure to increase in June due to World Cup-related
messages. The foreign minister of Finland even set new rules
of diplomatic engagement at the start of his countrys European
Union presidency at the beginning of this month by stating,
Dont call me, Ill text-message you.
Convenience aside, this means more and more people (including
politicians and others whose job it is to talk) arent
talking. This, my friends, is a big problem. Text messages
lack the accompanying inflections and intonations of the voice,
not to mention facial expressions and body language. Sarcasm
is always harder to detect in written messages than spoken
ones, the result of which can be detrimental to interpreting
a message properly.
There are plenty of problems beyond the inevitable miscommunication
that one can identify about textingthe inevitable crises
caused by texting while driving, and texting too much in general
(causing injuries to your fingers, wrists and arms, as physiologists
are warning against these days) are two of the popular gripes.
Hollywood has even blamed poor box-office sales (for movies
like Gigli and Charlies Angels) on movie-goers
texting each other that movies stink. But all that aside,
texting has allowed an already comfortably passive-aggressive
society to become even more passive. A good example is the
growing trend of people ending relationships over texts. (Think
the Sex in the City episode where Berger breaks up
with Carrie on a Post-It.) According to relationship experts,
text messaging is ruining our love lives. The Scotsman
says, an increasing number of men and women are using text
messages as a way of avoiding real communication, informing
their partners of life-changing announcements by text, and
shunning conversations in favour of a simple SMS.
Texting isnt just affecting peoples personal lives, either.
Professionals are being affected by the ease of personal avoidance
in the workplace. According to an article called Y Texting
Maybe Bad 4 U by Skynews (sky.com), Standards of spoken
and written communication in the world of work are being destroyed
by the use of e-mails and text messages. Great. Our CEOs
arent only mind-numbingly rich, their minds are just going
Use text messaging; Im all for it. I use it every day. Once
in a while, though, pick up the phone, and remember what it
feels like to have an actual conversation.

The Rotary moment that changed my world was watching 14-year-old Moin Junnedi, India's youngest national Paralympian, completing his swim in last year's Rotary Global Swimarathon.

Just a day or two before this swim, he suffered four fractures, but was so determined to take part. It was pure inspiration, as this video shows. Continue reading

What She Said: Wisconsin Photography Now
EFFJAY PROJEKTS Gallery, Frank Juarez-owner, Sheboygan, WI.
Curated by Jessica Z Schafer and William Zuback
Wisconsin women photographers show their diversity of vision, connected through the lens of identity exploration in relation to society's expectations.
EFFJAY PROJEKTS Gallery in Sheboygan, Wisconsin presents What She Said: Wisconsin Photography Now, showcasing the photography of four outstanding contemporary women fine art photographers. Their work forms a quartet of unique perspectives connected by their investigation into the meaning of identity in today's society. Jessica Z Schafer and William Zuback co-curated this fresh approach and view of photography now by concentrating only on women photographers. Jessie Eisner-Kleyle, Jessica Kaminski, Jenaille Northey and Nicole Peaslee bring their expressive visual narratives to this exhibition.
Jesse Eisner-Kleyle explores womanhood through the objects that define femininity. For her series of photographs We Were Not Born Women, she paired images with stories collected from women across the country about the diverse items that signaled their transition into womanhood. This series implores the viewer to look at the construct of gender, because it is a construction. "Even the participants who weren't girly girls, but were tomboys, still have a story of that moment, that instant when they discovered their feminine mystique and they felt right," states Eisner-Kleyle.
Jessica Kaminski examines the meaning of home, and how different her own life experience has been from the model of a "traditional" home established by her childhood. Her images from The Home Project attempt to challenge, and invite discussion about what gets to be home, and poignantly, the moments where we are uncertain of a solid sense of place and belonging.
Jenaille Northey turns her attention to expectations about love and desire depicted in the romance novel genre. By warping images from these books through a convex glass surface, Northey's series of images, Love Letters, creates vivid distortions that blur the boundaries of true love and fiction, revealing reality's shortcomings and fantasy's absurdities.
Nicole Peaslee uses elements of the natural world as a metaphor to the imperfections of humanity, relationships and the individual. The photographs in Fractures peel away the false layers created to protect us from society's challenges, connecting humans to one another and to our natural environment.
Women artists are still underrepresented in the art world. Often making up less than 25% of artists exhibiting in major museums and galleries. Just this year, women made up only 30% of the artists chosen for the 2012 Whitney Biennial. This discrepancy is also common in Wisconsin, where group photography exhibitions often focus on male photographers. What She Said celebrates the work of these four remarkable women artists who offer an in-depth exploration of identity in today's society through the lenses of female contemporary photographers.
What She Said: Wisconsin Photography Now runs from May 24 through June 16.
An artist reception and gallery talk will be held June 2 from 5-8pm.
EFFJAY PROJEKTS Gallery is located at 604 Erie Avenue, Lower Level, Sheboygan, WI. 53081.

Addressing our ever-present desire to be in place even in the face of dislocation, this exhibition brings together a range of images, objects and structures that each consider the structural replacement of home, from modular and portable constructions to wearable shelters and transformable garments to digitally networked sites. The exhibition coincides with the publication of Replacing Home: From Primordial Hut to Digital Network in Contemporary Art (University of Minnesota Press, January 2012), and showcases artists included in the book as well as others who continue a dialogue with its conceptual framework. Understanding spatial boundaries through performance-based frameworks of embodied presence, movement and experience, both book and exhibition suggest that while place may no longer be a sustainable category, being in place and belonging at home is nonetheless possible. By emphasizing reusable modes rather than fixed constructions of place, art and architecture together propose various systems of replacing home, in which specific sites can be revisited, material structures can be renewed, and dwellers can come into back into contact over time.

Bess the Book Bus visits Dayton
"Wow," Brianna said as she boarded Bess, a colorful Mercedes van that rolls across the country bringing books to kids.
Bess came to Dayton Elementary School this week at the invitation of reading and math teacher Connie Levenhagen, who always wants to build enthusiasm for books.
At every stop, each student gets to pick a book to keep. Looking at Bess's groaning shelves, Brianna said, "I want to find a book about animals."
"Animals? Sure. What kind of animals?" asked Jennifer Frances, who dreamed up the literacy program 10 years ago. Known as "Jen," she now splits her time between giving away books and leveraging funding so she can give away more books.
Soon she and Brianna were combing the shelves for horse books and chatting about their riding experiences.
Brianna rides mini ponies and attends horse camp. Frances once had her own pony, which was as friendly as a dog.
"How do you do this?" Brianna asked Frances as she watched her classmates clamber into the bus and climb back out hugging books.
Frances said she has help from sponsors like Townsend Press, Capstone and First Book. They provide all sorts of reading material, from picture books for preschoolers to chapter and young adult books. And Citgo Petroleum Corporation helps with fuel so Bess the Book Bus can travel across the country from its home in Florida.
"I get support mostly by saying, 'Thank you,'" she said.
Frances told Brianna how, as a college graduate with an unfulfilling job, she dreamed of doing something that would really help people. She ultimately decided to create her own opportunity.
An avid reader since childhood, she knew just what she wanted to do — make sure kids had access to books. She named her program Bess the Book Bus in honor of her grandmother, Bess O'Keefe.
The program has put thousands upon thousands of books into children's hands, Frances said. On this cross-country trip alone, it will distribute about 7,000 books; during the year, about 100,000.
That's a great away of fulfilling her dream, she said.

"I think this is really great," she said, watching more students leave Bess the Book Bus. "I like it!"
