Interview with Sydney Licht
by Neil Plotkin
Sydney Licht is a painter based in New York. Ms. Licht studied at Smith College and received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York and is also a member of the still life group Zeuxis.
This past summer, Ms Licht had a solo show at Kathryn Markel and was included in two group shows which opened in December, the Small Packages show at Cumberland Gallery in Nashville, TN and The Common Object at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She will be included in the upcoming Zeuxis show Reflections, which opens at Linwood University in Missouri in February 2012.
There is also a video interview with Sydney Licht in her studio at the end of this interview.
I would like to thank Sydney very much for her time for this interview.
Neil Plotkin The classic artist story, the one here in America, is very often that a young artist moves to New York, struggles, builds a career and then moves and sets up life elsewhere. And you've done the exact opposite. You've built a career. You've lived around the country. You've raised your children. Once that was done, you moved to New York. How do you think this has benefitted you as an artist and how does living in New York now help you as an artist?
Sydney Licht I went to a liberal arts college on the East Coast as an undergraduate. The great benefit of not staying on the East Coast for grad school was that I was exposed to a different perspective at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which is where I went to grad school for painting. Living in Chicago was a revelation, permitting me to move past the European canon of art history.
I don't know if you are familiar with the Art Institute of Chicago or the school there, but the professors I studied with were so open to influences outside of the European painting tradition (which I had, had a lot of as an undergraduate). I was exposed to the Field Museum of Natural History, Outsider art, Chicago Imagist paintings and art inspired by popular culture, comic books, etc.
It was eye-opening and I realized that I didn't have to follow all those "rules" I was given as an undergrad. I could do any kind of painting I wanted. I could define my interests in a very personal way. Having this opportunity in Chicago and not going to New York right away right away helped to shape me as an artist.
Still Life with Artificial Sweetners, 12 in. x 12 in, oil on board, 2010
NP: In the past, you told me you started out as an abstract painter. Can you talk about your transition from being an abstract painter to a representational painter?
SL: In Chicago, both while I was in grad school and after, I was painting large, neo-Expressionist, autobiographical paintings. The paintings weren't completely abstract, however, with some evidence of imagery apparent. I called them 'organic abstractions'. Each painting took a very long time. I was interested in the materiality of paint, and the painting process involved much scraping off and putting on; finishing a painting became so unending. I came to realize that the paintings weren't getting resolved because I was using color arbitrarily.
To resolve this, I gave myself a problem and therefore, some structure. I decided to translate the formal aspects of one of my organic abstractions into a still life painting. The painting I first chose to translate had a huge slab of white paint cutting through a dark form, splitting it in two. To mimic that relationship in a still life, I placed two objects next to each other, touching in such a way that an interesting negative shape in between them was created.
To understand color more fully, I restricted myself to a very limited palette, using only four or five colors. I think the colors were yellow ochre, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, ivory black and white, essentially the primary colors plus white and black.
After this first still life, I made at least ten more in the same vein. I was reinvigorated by what I could do with such minimal means. Because I was learning so much about color harmonies with respect to value and hue, I kept working with this limited palette for at least five years.
Still Life with Espresso Bag #1, 24 in. x 16 in., oil on linen, 2008
NP: Some of your colors are very keyed. Have you changed your palette a lot? How are they keyed? What kinds of colors? The yellows are very vibrant. The oranges are very vibrant.
SL: Not that much, although now, I think more about the warm and cool aspects of primary colors. I stopped using black many years ago. Usually a painting idea starts with a question. When I first started the still life project, it was, Can I make a still life that mimics the abstract ideas that I'm interested in? Or can I understand color better by using very little of it? As the questions have changed, the palette has changed.
At one point I asked myself, "Can I make a monochromatic still life with just slightly tinted hues of white?" Right after that, I really wanted to see how far I could go in pushing color intensity so the palette expanded to include a fluorescent yellow.
Still Life with Dessert, 30 in. x 30 in., oil on linen, 2011
NP: So you're just using alizarin, ultramarine, yellow ochre and then you'll add only one or two colors. You have a very tight palette then?
SL: I still use yellow ochre to which I've added lemon yellow. I use alizarin crimson which is a cool red and to that, I've added cadmium red light, which is warmer….so a cool and a warm of the same primary color dynamic are usually what's on the palette. I've replaced ultramarine with cobalt blue and added manganese blue.
NP: Recently you completed a residency at Yaddo. Can you talk about the experience that you had there and how the work emerged from it?
SL: Even before I got to Yaddo, I knew I wanted to create a visual diary of the experience.
When I arrived, the first thing that the staff presented me with was a white paper bag with my name on it. It was my lunch to take to the studio. Receiving this white bag with my name on it was a very welcoming thing, like a gift.
I took the bag with my lunch in it to my studio which was completely empty and white and beautiful. A gorgeous space with nothing in it. When I took the sandwich out of the bag, it was the only visual thing in the whole room, and so I decided to paint it. I had such a good time painting it.

On the second day and for the the rest of my three week stay, every morning I would pick up my lunch pail at breakfast and go to the studio. My visual diary became this ritual of painting my lunch before eating it. I would spend the morning getting warmed up by doing a watercolor of what I was given for lunch. I'd eat the lunch. Then in the afternoons, I worked on still life paintings in oil.
It was a wonderful experience. During working hours at Yaddo, everyone is expected to remain quiet in public areas so as not to disturb the other residents. All residents meet for dinner and then you can either go back to work or socialize. I found it to be very productive.

NP: From my perspective, you're a very established artist. You know what you're doing. You've been doing it for a long time. You know how you're going to approach things. How do you feel this residency helped move you forward? How did you benefit from it?
SL: Even though I've been painting for a long time, there are continual interruptions in my daily life not having to do with painting. Fighting to minimize those interruptions is a constant battle for me. When I go to a residency like Yaddo, I don't have to think about what I'm going to make for dinner and all the other practical aspects of living my life. I'm on a mental holiday which makes room for true and consistent focus. Finding moments of focus is rare in my daily life, and easier to achieve at a residency. Also, I met some great people at Yaddo. Besides visual artists, some terrific writers, composers and performance artists were in residence while I was there.

NP: For your 2008 show, you received a favorable review in the New Yorker and the reviewer commented that Morandi was a touchstone of your work and that he looms large in your work. Anybody who is a still life painter or any kind of painter would be very happy to hear that. Rather than letting a reviewer determine your sources of inspiration, I wanted to hear where you feel that you fall in the tradition of still life painting or painting in general?
SL: I don't think about that question a lot. I think more about where I sit in the world and about trying to incorporate the life that I live into the work, while still making the work—I hate to use the word universal but—accessible to all who are drawn to the visual. Incorporating both in each painting is a goal that I strive for. Being of my time, but also recognizing that I am a product of history as well, especially art history.
Still Life with Coffee and Tea, 16 in. x 12 in., oil on board, 2010
NP: Your work has a lot of colors poking through the surface layer of paint. Within each block of color there's a shimmer of what's underneath. For example, in Still Life with Coffee and Tea, you see what's underneath a little bit. What's your process regarding those previous layers? Are these color revisions or are they a part of how you create the blocks of color? How do you do this?
SL: Well, with each painting it's a different story, like a different puzzle to solve. What shows through from underneath is the result of the process of finding the right hue and value relationships as a natural part of making the painting work. It's not premeditated. I don't paint on a colored ground. I start a painting with a palette knife, and that enables me to not get bogged down in details too quickly. At the beginning of each painting, these color/value approximations are just that…first attempts that are refined as the painting progresses through thoughtful readjustments.
Still Life with Open Box #1, 12 in. x 12 in., oil on linen, 2006
NP: It seems that negative space has always been an important part of your composition. Is that how you approach work?
SL: I realized when I first started the still life project that the negative spaces around the objects was the real subject matter; meaning can be found in how the space around the forms impacts those forms. You're right, that composition is the first thing I think about, and finding a compelling negative shape or space inspires me to do the painting in the first place.
Still Life with Sweet and Low #1, 12 in. x 12 in., oil on linen, 2010
NP: The paintings are so well composed; for example to say there are four millimeters on the side of the canvas. I'm looking at Still Life with Sweet and Low. Are you looking at a viewfinder to capture that or do you draw it in?
SL: I don't use a viewfinder. I do make a very minimal sketch; just a line drawing of how the objects relate to the edges of the picture plane and how things are relating to one another. Sometimes I'm happy with the first sketch, but often I have to do several versions of an idea to arrive at a successful arrangement of elements.
NP: On the canvas or in a painting?
SL: No, I use a sketchbook. Once I think I've got something, I will mix up several piles of color on the palette and go at the canvas with big slabs of paint using the knife. I rarely sketch it out on the canvas first. I learned a long time ago if I make a very detailed drawing ahead of the painting; that I've already answered my question and in so doing, I lose interest in the painting. Maintaining the excitement in solving a problem is key for me to stay engaged. I have restricted my drawing over the years to remain curious and surprised by each new work I make.
NP: What is the discovery that you're looking for?
SL: Something I didn't know before. Absolutely. The best kind of resolution is when the unexpected happens at the end of the painting process and I learn something new. If I have an initial idea and it works that's great. At other times, I think an idea will work and it doesn't. When that happens, I have to push myself by asking, "What is it that I'm really interested in here?"
Hard questions come up in the middle of painting. Through desperate acts, I am pushed into finding new solutions. That can mean painting out an object I first thought was crucial to the work. Or, the desperate act can be suddenly adding a piece of color at the edge to make a statement. The painting talks back and points out what I had not considered before.
NP: You're talking about when things aren't working. In desperation, do you abandon canvasses or do you keep beating it until it works?
SL: I keep making changes. I don't give up on paintings, no. I mean, sometimes they've taken 8 or 9 years to complete but I rarely abandon a painting.
NP: You're a member of Zeuxis, a still life group of painters. Has the exposure to other still life painters benefited you much or influenced you in any way?
SL: It has. Often, the themes of the exhibitions have pushed me in directions I probably wouldn't have gone and forced me to look at things I may not have considered otherwise.
The Common Object exhibition currently at the Maryland Institute College of Art is a good example of that. We were all given a dishcloth that we had to include somehow, in a painting. I probably wouldn't have placed a dishcloth in a painting without that impetus, but because I had to, it brought me back to thinking about what it means to fold and arrange cloth. This led to the paintings of tied up bundles of cloth.
Still Life with Two Bundles, 8 in. x 8 in., oil on linen, 2010
In the Common Object painting, I kept the dishcloth relatively contained so that the original folds were still in evidence. That made me relate these folded pieces of cloth to the boxes I've been painting recently because like the boxes, these bundles are like beautifully wrapped gifts.
Still Life with Bundles, 12 in. x 12 in., oil on linen, 2011
NP: You keep talking about gifts and these small things. When I look at Still Life with Bundles, I think of the Japanese tradition of gifts being very well packaged. They're small and compact. It's all very considered. Is that something that you think about? The Asian approach or the Japanese approach in particular?
SL: No, but that's interesting. I hadn't thought about a Japanese influence before. I am attracted to non-Western approaches to making two-dimensional works though. I love Indian miniature paintings because of the emphasis placed on shape and pattern, flatness and color, but I hadn't considered the Japanese approach you're referring to. Maybe I will now.
Containers, in general, fascinate me because they bring up issues surrounding consumption. Tabletops have become resting places for fast food containers instead of elaborately prepared meals to enjoy
NP: Why have you chosen the things that you've chosen? Why do you use bags and packages as subjects?
SL: I choose things I'm attracted to visually and conceptually. I've painted food for a long time because of its association with desirability; especially certain kinds of fruit, for a very personal reason. As a child, I was very allergic to raw fruit and exposure to certain foods produced a very severe allergic reaction. Consequently, I was denied many tastes that I Ioved.
Perhaps because I was faced with this promise of the forbidden at an early age, I associate painting with desire and physicality.
Still Life with Orange and Stem 2, 14 in. x 16 in., oil on linen, 2002
Painting images of boxes and packages is an extension of this. A package has the promise of something delightful inside just as a piece of fruit presents the promise of something delightful to taste.
We live in a culture where we see food packaged up more often than not. These packages can be so visually appealing. There's one painting image I sent you in which an orange is pictured in front of a plain cardboard box…[Still Life with Orange]…and the shadow thrown on the box by the orange… I really love that box because of the simple way it catches the light. I've painted it over and over again. The light will shift on a box or bag depending upon the time of day or what it's next to. Boxes and bags are great color catchers.

Wonderful interview. It somehow throwed me in a panic finding out about a painter whose subject matter is so similar to what I am working on now, and with such a depth and careful consideration about a variety of visual and emotional issues. Lots of input for me anyway.
Threw, sorry grammar occurs to me always too late
This is great! I have been looking for more on her for a few years now. With such great images and wonderful content I am stoked! Thanks so much for doing this interview on her!
Sydney, I am so taken with your work. It is thrilling. Absolutely beautiful. Wish I could see it in person ; ) Thanks for this informative interview – enjoyed the video too!
Such a wonderful, insightful interview and a treat to see & hear the artist talking about her work in her studio. This made my morning.
Sydney, your work is wonderful, and your words inspire. Congratulations!
Thanks to all who have posted comments so far! I really appreciate the positive feedback and very much enjoyed doing the interview. If anyone has a question, please post and I'll try to answer.
Thought-provoking, as always, Sydney — congratulations! Wonderful to see where the new work is taking you!
Hi Sydney,
Wonderful, inspiring and very real interview. Thanks for sending it, I want to now forward it to lots of people!
hi Sydney,
Nice interview. You are so articulate and clear about complex color and painting ideas. Brava!
Wow! I'm very inspired by your bold use of color and pattern. Thank you for your thoughtful answers. It was a nice surprise to discover your work today from, a fellow SAIC grad
Beautiful paintings! Thank you for the interview. This is such a great blog and always showcases such wonderful painters. So refreshing.
Hi Sydney,
I first saw your work in Chicago in the mid-nineties and fell in love with it immediately. I am a painter, and I have a question for you if you don't mind.
When I look at the objects and spaces around me and frame them up with a viewfinder I find literally thousands of possible compositions that speak to me. I get all kinds of abstract ideas, and find it impossible to choose one over another to even begin a painting. Ultimately I find myself expanding the view and painting whole landscape and interior subjects. I let the subject matter guide the painting process, almost like as if the painting is a souvenir of my time with the subject and the painting, and my work suffers from a sort of nothingness. I want more direction as an artist, but cannot seem to find import in my work. It seems like from your interview and video-taped studio visit your work comes from a discipline. Would you mind elaborating on how you compose your paintings? Is there much finding going on there, or is it mostly setting up the objects after conceiving the abstract idea, like as you described your discovery in graduate school to be?
Thank you so very much!
This was a lovely interview… thoughtful questions, terrific photographs of the work, which I really like. I paint (mostly) abstract forms, & I am intrigued by the ways in which your work seems, well, abstract, still, and I love that about it. Nice balance between the two worlds… Thank you to both interviewer and Sydney Licht.
Thanks for your question about how I compose. Sometimes I find a relationship spontaneously that I am curious about. Other times, I will set things up with a preconceived idea. While composing, I try to consider the big shapes, both positive and negative, that will determine the overall structure of the painting. But I think what you said about letting the subject matter guide the painting is also valid. Whatever works…go with it!
Thank you Sydney for your reply to my question. Good luck and God bless you with all good things… -Noel
There is great sophistication of color here. And I loved seeing her pieces hanging together in her studio, unframed, simple. One wants to own many of them, together! So inspiring – thank you, Sydney!

Vincentian adding football team
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Vincentian Academy president John Fedko could be announcing his employers' football highlights as early as next season.
The longtime sports anchor, who became an administrator at the McCandless private school in July, outlined plans Friday for Vincentian to begin playing WPIAL football, an audacious step for a Class A school that has an enrollment of about 230 students, including 97 boys in grades 9-11.
Fedko guaranteed that the Royals would be ready by 2014, but he also said there's "an outside shot" of playing as early as 2012.
"We looked at it from several perspectives," said Fedko, who retired from WPXI in 2010 but still hosts his "Skylights" football highlights show Friday nights in the fall. "First, we looked at what it's going to cost us and is it going to be feasible and not put a dent in our budget. We're convinced that if we add seven to 10 students, that it will pay for the football program. And we're convinced that we're going to be able to do that."
Part of that conviction had to do with Fedko's conversations over the past six weeks with Bud Beatty, who as athletic director helped Our Lady of the Sacred Heart start a football program before the 2010 season.
Vincentian hired Tim Storino to coach the team. Storino was an assistant at Central Catholic for the past two seasons, working with the receivers. He also compiled a 14-1 mark during that time as the JV coach.
Storino, who played quarterback at Bethel Park and Lock Haven University, will meet with prospective players next week to gauge interest. If at least 20 show up, Storino said he'll begin a push to play next fall, which would first require permission from the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
Vincentian then would have to apply for a WPIAL slot by Jan. 3.
"Obviously it will be tough, but we're going to hope that with all the Catholic schools in the North Hills, that it would be an interesting draw," said Storino, who has been an assistant at Bethel Park and Shaler. "If we could get a big freshman class to come in, we think that we can give it a go next year."
Gibsonia native Anthony Tommarello started at center for the freshman team at Central Catholic this fall but transferred to Vincentian in November because he didn't feel that Central was the right fit. He -- along with Fedko and others -- already is pitching the new program.
"I'm trying to get people to join, even if they say they haven't played football," he said. "I'll tell them, 'It's OK. We don't have to win.' We'll get better as the season goes on, and maybe by my senior year, our team will be very good."

Burglarizing homes and stealing property: Teens are making headlines as young offenders.
Earlier this year, a 12 and 14-year-old stole a car twice in less than two weeks in St. Johns County.
Now, a report is saying Clay County is seeing a 15 percent increase in young offenders placed in residential facilities while Duval County numbers drop.
"We took speakers out of it and the other guy smashed in the door and dented it," said Tyler Lavasseur.
A fun Saturday night turned into Tyler's first offense after breaking into a Honda and getting busted.
Placed in a squad car and handcuffed, the 17-year-old Clay County high school junior was hit with reality when charged with two felonies: burglary and criminal mischief.
"A lot of new construction theft and crime, we get a lot of vandalism. It can be hit or miss," said Clay County Sheriff's Office Capt. Joe Bucci.
According to a report released in February, Clay County saw a 15 percent increase in the number of youth placed in a residential facility over the past five years.
Compare that to Nassau County, which saw a 48 percent decrease and Duval County, which dropped by 24 percent.
Clay County officials say the February report doesn't tell the whole story of what they call a roller coaster of highs and lows when it comes to juvenile arrests.
"Just in 2012 alone, I think we had 813 arrests of juveniles here at he clay county sheriff's office versus a 919 in 2009," Bucci said.
And while there's no clear reason for the increase, the Sheriff's Office is making sure those who offend see the big picture.
"They were my friends at the time so I didn't look at them at the time as bad people, but it wasn't a good scene to be in in the first place, especially at that age," Lavasseur said.
But it's his age that helped give him a second chance. As a teen first-time offender of a minor crime, he was eligible for Teen Court.
"As much as adults hate disrespectful kids with attitude, teen juries hate them more, and that will give them a very heavy punishment," said Teen Court Director Debbie Mueller.
So if the offender pleads guilty then agrees and completes counseling, community service, a class in crime prevention and teen court jury duty, their record is cleared.
"You realize how seriously you have to take it and if you don't you get kicked out and tried," said Lavasseur.
The CCSO said during the current economic lull, they've seen young people start to hang out in abandoned and foreclosed homes, which is considered burglary.
There is a 75-80 percent success rate with Teen Court, a program paid for by $3 fee placed on Clay County traffic and court costs.

Well done Sabian and Musician`s Friend for providing a much desired piece for any drum set.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
A wide range of sounds as you strike it at different points from center to outer edge and alternate your attack. works nice as a ride and can serve pretty well as a crash. I spent hours banging on all the different cymbals at a music superstore,looking for somethingthat would give me the most options at a price that wouldn't break the bank. this was the best compromise...
Nice range of tones from bell to outer rim, this cymbal covers a lot of tonal territotory for a reasonable price.
reasonable if you hold out for a sale or discount.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
If you are on a budget and looking for great sound, the XS are a huge value. The price is a bit more than the B8 series, but the sound quality is much much more! I purchased the 14" and 16" and they are my "go to" cymbals for most everything. Recording with them is also a nice surprise, they come through nicely! I also own a set of 17" and 19" AA's and they don't get near as much use. I recommend XS series to everyone.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
I purchased this cymbal earlier in this week and it's great for what i use it for! Im a beginner and just have B8 Sabian cymbals. Well I looked at the website and loved the sound of this cymbal and wanted to use it for crash ride patterns. When I got it the sound was a little different from the site but I love it and sounds great! I would recommend!
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
I guess I'll be the first to review it. I got this brand new and I'm glad I did. It's awesome for doing crash ride stuff because my B8 Ride wasnt cutting it. The bell I could care less for but besides that it's a great, explosive cutting cymbal! Would definitely recommend.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
When I first got this cymbal, it didn't have the the sound that I wanted. But after about 2 weeks, I finally broke the bad boy in and it started sounding amazing! I am using it just as my main crash now, but within a few weeks it will be doing the double duty that it was made for.
Comments about Sabian Xs20 Crash Ride Cymbal:
This cymbal gets the job done with great sound and precision. I have a Sabian XS20 pack and this is a great edition to my set. I recomend this for anyone who wants great sound and quality. Great Jorb Sabian!

These are hard times for Congress. Its approval ratings have seen a bump from their historic lows of a few months ago, but it's a small one.
Our representative democracy's keystone political institution is widely derided as ineffective, unproductive, irrelevant, and sadly out of touch.
It is no coincidence that this comes while Congress has developed a taste for so-called "unorthodox lawmaking," wandering far outside its traditional procedures. ...

"ZANE REED GRAY!!! GET YOUR GOOD-FOR-FUCKIN'-NOTHIN' LAME ASS DOWN HERE THIS MOMENT! IF YA DON'T, THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE WORSE THAN LAST TIME!I'M COUNTIN' TO TWENTY AND IF YA AIN'T DOWN HERE BY THEN, YOUR BODY IS MINE TONIGHT!" Mr. Gray yelled at his worthless son (who was upstairs, locked in his room)from their house's large, but appallingly filthy, living room.
Zane was indeed upstairs, locked in his room, listening to his pissed off father's drunken voice shouting up at him from downstairs. Sure, he was there. But his mind wasn't. It was somewhere in the near future, when he'd legally be able to escape this rotten nightmare of life and mold a new one, an extremely better one, all for himself. The daydreams swept him away, almost made his mouth water with longing.To be able to leave behind it all...the beatings...the rape...all the abuse in general...Zane would do anything. He'd even commit suicide. That option seemed a greater and greater choice every day. The only thing Zane could see in his bleak life was more and more abuse. It would never stop. So what was the point of living, if the only goodness he could see was in his day dreams? There was no point.
Mr. Gray had counted up to eleven already. The seconds were ticking by quickly. A sickly twisted smile started to make its way onto his thin, ugly lips. 'Tonight that little fucker will be mine again! Hah! I can't wait!' he thought excitedly, while an erection made a not-so-subtle bump in his grey sweat pants. The thought of his whimpering son, handcuffed to the king sized bed, stark naked and covered in fresh welts from the whip, made Mr. Gray almost giggle with insane delight. He truly was crazy.
Zane shook himself from his daydreams. 'None of that, you moron. Don't go there. It's impossible. He'll kill you before you escape from his evil, cruel clutches. Give it up. Shut up. And get your ass down there for the next bout of torture. Wouldn't want to miss that, now would you?' Zane thought to himself sharply, with a hint of sarcasm at the end. Depression filled him once again, leaving not even one little crack for happiness to leak into. Depression was always lurking in the shadows. It was his constant mentor, his old best friend, his teacher. With a gloomy sigh, Zane stood up, cracked his back, and nearly flew down the stairs and through the hall to get to the living room in time. The beatings were much more brutal when he was late.
Seeing his father's twisted, excited smile and cruel, insane eyes when he walked in the room, Zane's stomach cramped (as it always did when he knew that rape was on the way)and puke started making it's way up his throat. Zane reprimanded himself and clenched his teeth as he tried to rearrange his face into something that would not get him in even more trouble. As usual, Mr. Gray and his son had a staring contest before either of them spoke. Whoever blinked first was beaten. Mr. Gray always made Zane blink. It was their unspoken agreement, in their Master-Slave relationship.
Grimly, Zane lowered his dark, long eyelashes in a way of showing defeat and then he got down on his knees and bowed. Inside, he steeled himself for what was about to occur. That didn't make it any better when it did start.
Nasty delight swept through Mr. Gray's body at the sight of Zane bowing in front of him. The waves of turned on pleasure rolled through him and he knew that he'd have to make the beating hard but quick if he wanted to wait to cum until he could drag a semi-conscious Zane into the master bedroom, where the real fun would ensue.
Zane felt nothing for a few almost blissful moments, then his father's huge, hard hand roughly yanked him up, so that he was standing on his knees. Quiet and stern, Mr. Gray commanded, "Open your eyes. Now. Or does my precious little faggy bitch want to feel more pain? Does he?"
Not being one to disobey his father, Zane snapped open his eyes immediately. Not that it helped at all. Mr. Gray had trained to be a boxer for three years in college, and boy, did it ever show when he began landing blows on Zane's pale, scrunched in pain face. That only egged the insane father on further. Blow after blow after blow. Blood dribbled from Zane's nose and his head felt like it had been hacked apart with a dull axe. He was surprised when the blows suddenly stopped, but was instantly filled with cold, stabbing dread when he saw that his father was bearing down on him with the whip in his hand, a wild grin plastered on his face. 'Oh god no......' Zane thought desperately. The whip was hell in leather form. For weeks after the last time he'd been whipped, Zane could barely walk. And now he was going to have to start all over again.
The whip made a high pitched whistling sound as it sliced through the air. It was impossible for Zane to not cry out when it bit into his flesh for the first time. The pain was worse than digging two knives into your wrists at the same time. It was like being sliced open with the sharpest samurai sword in the world.
It only took about fifteen lashes of the whip to drive Zane into semi consciousness. As he faded in between reality (aka, maddening pain)and his secret dream world (aka, impossible bliss and peacefulness), Zane was dragged unceremoniously into the master bedroom and thrown on the bed carelessly.
It took a minute or two for Mr. Gray to strip his son and handcuff him to the bed post, so Zane had a few seconds of "peace". In his head, he counted warily, '60,59,58,57,56,55,54,53,52,51,50......'. Soon enough, the torture will begin again.

Ace Hardware faces uphill battle
January 17, 2013
By Caleb Heeringa
The proposal to build a new Ace Hardware off 228th Avenue near Mars Hill Church appears to be a tough sell, due to the property's proximity to a nearby creek and wetland.
"This isn't even close – this is Alabama-Notre Dame," Councilman John Curley said at a Jan. 8 council meeting, comparing the proposed development to the college football national championship the night before.
Lawyers representing the city and Ace owner Tim Koch resolved to sit down and attempt to find solutions. However, the proposal drew skeptical questions from councilmembers concerned about the corners that would need to be cut in city regulations and dire warnings from city staff of possible legal challenges.
Community Development Director Kamuron Gurol said the site is extremely constrained by the fish-bearing George Davis Creek to the north and a wetland to the south.
While the city's initial information showed about 80 percent of the property covered by buffers preventing development, recent surveys indicate that the property is even more constrained — the entire property is in a buffer, with a majority of the property covered by overlapping buffers.
The city's critical areas code, which is due to be updated later this year, contains some wiggle room, allowing the city to reduce the size of a buffer by as much as 50 percent if the development reduces its environmental impact in other ways.
But Gurol said it's hard to envision reducing it enough to fit an 11,000-square-foot hardware store, surrounding parking lot and semi-truck loading area onto the property.
"Given that I don't see any developable area on the site, the only option I see is for the City Council to make major changes to city code," Gurol said.
Koch and his development team, including land use attorney Charles Klinge, disagree. The group is asking the city to enter into a development agreement for the property – essentially a bilateral agreement outside the city's typical permit approval process that sets the terms of the area's development.
Bill Way, president at environmental consultant The Watershed Company, said he is convinced that the property can be developed in a way that would have less of an impact on the stream and wetland than it does now. The property currently houses two storm water ponds that were installed as part of the widening of 228th Avenue to handle runoff in the area.
Those same ponds likely wouldn't be allowed under current city code. The team's proposal calls for large underground storm water vaults to replace the above-ground ponds, with Ace Hardware and its parking lot going on top.
"This isn't black-and-white. If it was black-and-white, I wouldn't be here," Way said.
The development team is working on more specific designs for the property and potential environmental mitigations.
While Klinge assured the council that a development agreement could supersede the city's environmental codes, Michael Walter, a land use attorney hired by the city's insurance company, disagreed.
"I've never seen a development agreement attempted to be used to address wetland buffers," he said. "I'm not aware of any court decision from this state addressing that point. You folks would be the test case for that."
In addition to the prospect of a lawsuit from environmental advocates, Gurol said he was concerned that the project would impact the city's upcoming review of its environmental code. Any changes, including tools to provide landowners with additional flexibility, would get a look from federal and state agencies, who would pay attention to a recent history of cutting corners on the environment.
"I believe it's a risk for the city," Gurol said. "If we're making changes to the (environmental code) that we believe we have a good story for, those could be delayed or compromised because of this … I've found that state agencies look at both the letter of the law and the situation on the ground. They don't just look at what our adopted code is — they look at how we've been applying it."
While Councilmembers Nancy Whitten and Tom Vance were openly skeptical of making a large exception to environmental code right next to a creek, Don Gerend and John James argued that George Davis Creek did not have enough ecological value to justify a 215-foot buffer as required by code. The creek saw spawning Kokanee salmon at its mouth last fall, but has several natural and manmade barriers between there and the upper reaches of the creek. Public Works Director Laura Philpot noted that other types of trout have been documented in the upper reaches near the proposed Ace site.
"Seeing as how the quality of this particular stream is not pristine, it seems reasonable that we'd have options as far as mitigation," James said. "It seems like we're setting a high priority on a low quality creek."
In an interview, Koch said he felt confident that a majority of Sammamish residents would prioritize a hardware store over the potential impact on the wildlife around a creek or wetland.
"I bet if you got 2,000 residents together and asked them, you might find two that would say 'Oh I saw a frog there or something else that could be damaged,'" Koch said.
Regency's side of the story
At the Jan. 8 council meeting, Ace Hardware owner Tim Koch took a moment to assure the council that he was dedicated to seeing Ace Hardware thrive in Sammamish, if they help provide some flexibility with the proposed development.
"I'm making a long-term investment in the city as a business owner," he said.
In a later interview, Koch acknowledged he had been considering retirement. He said he had been searching for new buyers for Sammamish Ace before lease negotiations with his landlord at Sammamish Highlands Shopping Center, Regency Centers, fell apart. At 61, Koch said he still hopes to retire at some point in the future, but said he'd likely have an investment in the building and land of the proposed new Ace.
He said anyone who took over operation of the new hardware store would keep it the same sort of local operation it's been for the last 20 years.
"I wouldn't sell it to some kind of small-time outfit, because who knows what they would do with it," Koch said. "It's important to the community to keep (Ace Hardware) alive and going."
Kalin Berger, leasing agent for Regency, said in an interview that the company had given Koch more than a year to find new owners for Ace but eventually elected to find someone else to take the Ace location because time was running out on the lease.
He said the disagreement between Regency and Koch was never about the amount of rent being charged and noted that the company gave Ace a year extension to help it find a new location. He declined to disclose what company would be moving into the Ace space.
"We have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure we have tenants in our commercial spaces," Berger said.
Koch said he had signed a non-disclosure agreement that prevents him on commenting on the disagreement with Regency.

This is a business that has served the Sammamish community before we even became a City. They have successfully kept residents of the plateau ON the plateau by meeting our needs in all things Hardware, plus many gift items as well. Their spirit to serve their community has been beyond reproach and without question one of integrity, loyalty, friendliness, and service. We have received only the very best care whenever we have been in the Ace Hardware store. We cannot begin to understand why there is such stonewalling in HELPING this business remain in our community. We think the Council and Planning Depts should be bending over backwards to HELP them stay here. IS there a political agenda here? If so, have the decency to put it out there! If not, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

This PCM postprocessor component, currently utilized by the CDDA, WAV, FLAC, and WavPack inputs, will process 16-bit PCM data with HDCD packets into 20-bit PCM. If it fails to find any packet headers within the first 5 seconds of a track, it gives up.
The HDCD status will be indicated in the info variable "hdcd," retrievable with either %__hdcd% or $info(hdcd). Extra info variables are "hdcd_peak_extend," "hdcd_transient_filter" and "hdcd_gain."
Also included is a simple scanner that processes up to 5 seconds of each track selected and reports all tracks which contain HDCD information. If users want it, I will impement a full file scanner that also reports which HDCD features are used throughout the tracks.
Although all features are reported, like hdcd.exe, my component does not implement the transient filter, so that feature will have no effect on the output.

I've updated the component to version 1.4, which now uses a new interface that requires foobar2000 1.1 or newer, beta included. It will automatically decode HDCD tracks from supported inputs, currently CDDA, WAV, FLAC, and WavPack. It will report whether the tracks contain HDCD data through an info tag, "hdcd". So you can add a $if(%__hdcd%) or $if($info(hdcd)) to your title formatting scripts to display the HDCD status of the current track.
I will add other HDCD information tags if anyone wants them. Probably just whether the current track is using peak extension and/or what the current gain level is.

Ive been doing the squats, a different one than you have posted tho. Im up to about 105 a day. It is making a HUGE difference already. My thighs are a lot less giggly already!
This would be better if it worked the obliques. As it is it's only working some of the abdominal muscles, not all. Is there one that includes the obliques? And most trainers suggest a day in between abdominal exercises. Where is this list from?

Pensacola FL-Escambia County Department of Corrections inmates records
by jeff donaven on 30/04/11 at 11:34 pm
Florida Department of Correction (FLDOC)-Escambia county jail address; 1200 West Leonard Street, Pensacola, Fl 32523, United States of America.
Florida's Escambia County was established on July 21st 1821 and named for the Escambia River.
The Escambia River is also referred to as the Conecuh River. That's because the river itself is 258-mile-long (415 km) and flows in Alabama and Florida. Hence the river's name changes from the Conecuh to the Escambia at the junction of Escambia Creek, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) downstream from the Florida-Alabama line.
Almost 2 centuries afterwards, there's a legion of phenomenons that can introduce a confinement inside the Escambia county jail. For illustration, if your unimportant-self slurp up a liter of Scotch Ale or Titian higher than the recommended limitation and engage to duplicate Grand Theft Auto Vice City while behind the seat of a Hyundai, you might later see yourself inside the Escambia county jail. Nonetheless, there's a large amount of persons who override the thinkableness of eternally ending up inside the Escambia county jail or unusual state prisons. But horribly enough, this could come along any fellow at any lunar year. One fiscal year everything seems to be in the pink and in another fateful moment you can find yourself in a breeze of problematic stews inside the Escambia county jail.
Florida's Escambia County covers 875.57 sq mi (2,268 km²) which 662.35 sq mi (1,715 km²) is land and 213.21 sq mi (552 km²), 24.35%, is water. Escambia County's seat is Pensacola. Hence nowadays, Escambia County is part of the Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent metropolitan statistical area.
The Escambia county jail is also referred to as the Escambia County Department of Corrections and is located at the address of 1200 West Leonard Street, Pensacola, Fl 32523, United States of America. Furthermore, the Escambia county jail functions thanks to the more than 300 deputies and 150 civilians workers it employs.
In that moment of truth a desperate criminal could nothing else but crave that he was among other things armed and ready before getting held up inside the Escambia county jail. Planned beforehand could have spared an overgrown matter of backaches from the unit, two-star generals and other gangsters inside the Escambia county jail. Hence the sea of troubles are ultimately to come forward as the time frame you're closed inside the Escambia county jail among gaolbirds from diversiform molds suchlike desperados, clan members, hell-raisers, youth molesters, sneak thieves, pilferers and of the sort, you need to be 100% sure of the actuality and unexpressed codes of conduct. If you expect that it's well policed inside the Escambia county jail since the five-star generals are examining all minutes, hope en plus!
Florida's Escambia County has estimated population of 297,619 and a population density of 449/sq mi (173.53/km²).
The Escambia county jail main jail confines and frees more than 24,000 peoples annually. More than 1,600 inmates are housed at the main jail on "L" Street and in the Central Booking & Detention facility on Leonard Street.
High gaolbirds quantities inside the Escambia county jail has come round to an incessantly development in the go by 3987 days due to the extension in the wrong conduct quota. These detenus inside the Escambia county jail certainly outnumbers the law enforcement workers at such a bad fraction hence inconceivable trying to intern every sections. For that basis predominantly, it's absolute to be superbly schooled on the guidelines that are exploited inside the Escambia county jail model, manage your conduct, associate with your own type and be conscious of the widely apart inmates troops inside the Escambia county jail as they manifest the majority.
Also critical inside the Escambia county jail is not to overlook your wife Ava, helpmate, husband Aaron, paterfamilias, financiers or daughters as they could specificly upstage in an aggrandized job from the outdoors as far as ministering you right away and after your deprivation of freedom from the Escambia county jail Pensacola FL
All Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida and nationwide criminal fillings, background checks, desk telephone numbers info, reverse domiciles, SSN checks, reverse IP's, Pensacola public records, legal possession enlightenments, judgment liens and billions more can be browsed from the nationwide Escambia county jail Pensacola FL database.

Same with read, I can't read the whole stream and save it somewhere, I can only read as much as a buffer's size at a given read() call. Is that correct?

November 30, 2015
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A North Carolina man says his attorney did an insufficient job of representing him and wants a federal judge to overturn his conviction of complicity to commit murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend.
In a writ filed in federal court in Covington, 51-year-old Leonard William Day says his trial attorney should have called a potentially exculpatory witness. Day also claims his attorney failed to pursue evidence of an alternate suspect in the death of Tina Rae Stevens, who disappeared from a hotel near Burlington, Ky., in the southern suburbs of Cincinnati in 1999. Day is serving a 50-year prison sentence.
Stevens' remains were found in April 2000 in a remote section of Boone County.
Day's girlfriend at the time, 54-year-old Deborah Huiett, is serving a life sentence for murder.

I have most of this week off from work; I don't know why. Next week I'm working Monday-Friday, which is weird. Anyway. This week I worked Monday and Tuesday at my two jobs, and now I have the rest of this week off. It's kind of throwing me off.
Last week I lost 9 ounces. Slow progress is still progress! I have to keep repeating this. I finally got a tape measure and did some measurements a couple weeks ago. Hips and waist the same as they were in December (last time I measured), bicep and thigh lost an inch each. Progress? Then I measured again on Saturday and my hips and waist lost inches, while my bicep and thigh gained? o.O All other measurement charts show an upward trend, so that's good I guess. My jeans were starting to feel looser, but then I switched to another pair in the same size and they felt snug, so I guess I just need to wash the first pair.
Anyway. Last week has kind of blurred together. I didn't really stick to my exercise schedule, and I had a lot of sugar, although I still mostly managed to meet my goals.
This week I've been feeling less motivated. Tired because of work on Tuesday, and yesterday and today just not wanting to get up and move. I did manage to do my pilates yesterday, but I never got around to my walk. I still need to do today's walk and Wii active. Pilates is getting easier, or perhaps just repetitive; I need some new core exercises or at least a new routine. Kind of the same with walking. Last week I didn't feel like jogging much because of work, so it was kind of a regression to just walking. I think I need some cardio variances. I thought about going swimming today, but it turned out to be too cold. I need to get my bike tuned up; the gears don't shift right. I don't know where I'd ride though.
Been eating better this week. More balanced. Yesterday I cooked split pea soup and made burritos, now I have a ton of leftovers for the rest of this week.
I don't really have a conclusion for this post, except it's getting late and I need to get off the couch.

That's good, you're eating much better this week :D
For your workout, perhaps you need to change your routine, even if just a little. Make your existing workout more challenging, try something new, etc etc. How about you try ZWOW workouts (search YouTube for ZuzkaLight or ZWOW).
Good luck!

Motivation is hard to deal with. As far as the measurements...remember this... the weight has to shift around before the body decides to release it. So hopefully that's what's happening with you.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Motivation is hard! I find if I start thinking about starting to work out as soon as I walk through the door, I'm fine. The minute i sit down to read the mail or something, I'm a goner! Then it takes a lot of convincing me to change and go to it!
Report Inappropriate Comment
It's hard when your motivation stalls. I definitly understand that feeling!
The best thing for it... take tomorrow, eat better, go for a brisk walk, take some great music along and do at least a little jogging! Take a trip to the store and see if they have any cheap exercise DVDs that interest you.
Don't quit! You can do it! Just keep at it!

Boston's Marco Sturm is stopped on a breakaway by Buffalo's Ryan Miller last Monday. Miller made one of the best saves of the season in that game, against Paul Mara in the second period.
- Filed Under
BUFFALO - You would think by now they would know better.
But last week when the Sabres were playing the Bruins in TD Banknorth Garden and Boston's Paul Mara was charging unchecked through the slot and one-timing a perfect feed from Marc Savard, the Sabres just assumed the defenseman was going to score one of the easiest goals of his career.
"I was the guy chasing him from behind, and I had my head down because I was mad that I was going to be on for a goal," defenseman Brian Campbell said. "And then I'm waiting for the horn to blow and it didn't blow, so I'm wondering what happened, and then I saw the replay ...

What do you call 7 days of rain in Seattle?
No, really, I'm asking. In my weather discussion yesterday on the main weather site, I came up with the term "Septasplash" for when all 7 days on our extended forecast graphic have raindrops on them. It's a work in progress ,and I asked for your help in maybe coming up with other names.
Here's what I got so far:
- "November" (three votes)
- "Northwest Drip Week"
- "Typical"
- "Seattle Seven"
- "November to Rainmember"
- "24-7-Wet"
- "Noah's Week" (two for that)
- "Sogga-thon"
OK, some good ones in there, but I'm looking for a good specific term, along the lines of "convergence zone" or "derecho" or "sunbreak" -- something that could go in the sentence: "Holy cow, with the jet stream pointed right at us, we're looking at another (fill in the blank)."
Feel free to post your ideas in the comments below, or just e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Maybe we'll start something, or, at least, get the National Weather Service to use it once in their forecast discussion :)

Secrets Unveiled
Sam felt someone shaking him up, and got up, rubbing his eyes. "Sam! You really are a heavy sleeper! Get up, and come down for breakfast!" he heard a voice, probably his mother's, waking him up. It seemed strange. He was feeling sick, with a dull pain in his head. He felt his whole body tingle and wondered what had happened. He heard footsteps approaching his bed, and finally got a look at the person entering his room. He found a young girl sitting on a chair beside the bed as he saw the boy he had seen before sleeping, enter the room. He smiled on remembering the events before he had gone to sleep.
"Who woke me up?" Sam asked the boy, getting up from his bed. "My sister woke you up. She will serve breakfast." he replied.
"Who are you? I don't recognise you. Are you my brother or something?" Sam asked the boy. "I'm your Silgorian cousin brother. My name is ..." the boy replied, but Sam cut in, "Silgorian cousin brother? What's that? I've never heard of any type of 'Silgorian Cousin'. Are you serious?" The boy just shrugged, and said, "Well, come down, you'll know everything." Saying so, he went out.
Sam had no idea what was happening. He came down after washing and cleaning himself. The house seemed to have a life of its own, and Sam was feeling as if he was familiar of the plan of the house. It was just a bit strange, he was oddly familiar with everything, yet everything seemed to be new to him, as if he was seeing it for the first time. Well, the answers were waiting for him in the dining room...
"Hi, Sam! Had a nice trip?" asked the girl that had been sitting on the chair in Sam's room. "Well, it was fine, I just don't know what's happening around me. Where am I? Better tell me this time." Sam said, to no one in particular.
As Sam looked around, sitting on the empty chair beside the boy, whose name was still unknown. He saw that there were five people, and he was the sixth. Mother, father, two sons, and a daughter - that's what the family was. Sam was really unable to piece the facts together. He had a queer feeling that something was not fitting properly in it's place, but he couldn't exactly determine it.
"Well, Thomas is right now in Blackdemon Prison, and you are in Silgorious. We are your wizard cousins, and my name is Tom Sawyer." the one he had met on arriving in this house said. He continued, "I'm glad I could get you here safely. I know you are a bit unsteady right now, but you should turn normal as your body accepts the magical influence of the house, and once your body neutralises the magical energy by absorbing it."
"Then, why didn't I feel that way on arriving yesterday?" Sam asked, curious. "It's because we had switched off all the magic near your room on your arrival, to keep you from being harmed by the sudden exposure to high levels of magic. Now, we have it up and in full power. You were exposed to magic gradually while you were sleeping."
"Does this mean I can do magic on becoming normal? Have I turned into a wizard?" Sam asked, both excited and afraid. "Oh, you! Naturally, you were a wizard but had lost the magical power as you had been in the other world for too long. Now, you just got your powers back, that's all!" said the younger of the brothers, named Jack Sawyer.
Sam noticed that the two parents were sitting still, doing nothing, and hadn't moved a limb. He suspected that something was terribly wrong, but was unable to prove anything. Finally, getting an idea, he quickly got up, and rushed out into the balcony. Just when they entered the balcony, he closed his eyes, thinking of standing behind the motionless figures.
A second later, he found himself standing behind the motionless figures. He now believed part of the story, but he needed to know what was odd. He pointed the wand left on the table by the sister at one of the dummies, and whispered, Reveal yourself! and was not surprised to see a surprised squeak, as a jet of blue light hit it. This dummy turned into a mouse and hurried away into the nearest exit, the balcony, just as the three rushed into the room, gasping at the sight.
"Hey! You fooled us! Brilliant!" exclaimed Jill, smiling. Now, the game was up. Tom glared at his sister, for being so foolish. She had to control the fake parents, till the day he would declare to the friends assembled for his birthday that he was able to do advanced magic, showing off the stunt of changing his stunned parents into creatures and back again, this time surprised and alive real parents, in the place of the mouse. "You really are a dumb witch!" Tom muttered, his mood spoilt, due to the failed prank he was planning since three days. With the 'father' bursting out of the house after being revealed as a silly rodent caught Tom off guard, upsetting his plans for the first week of summer vacations.
It was a pity, but on the positive side, he had an extremely itelligent friend and cousin. He hoped that by the time his real parents returned from their trip, he would have everything arranged as planned.
Sam was introduced to the group of pranksters, who started calling themselves Silgorian Army of Masters , or 'SAM' after their new leader, Sam Sawyer. He was thrilled to be made a leader, and that day was busily spent in planning their actions for the grand party, celebrating Tom's 15th birthday. He would be now able to formally deal with his matters as a Silgorian Adult. The group of friends now renamed as SAM departed, leaving Sam, Tom, Jill, and Jack alone in the house.
The three friends, Thomas, Samolina and James sat in the prison, discussing of ways to escape the dark place, and did manage to almost make it out of the prison. At the last moment, a group of hokafandas guarding the prison managed to break the defences cast by the three around themselves, and captured all the three, taking them to their leader. It was strange that they didn't kill them for trying to escape.
They took the three to a strange house, and pushed them through a door to meet their master. The three found themselves standing in a corridor, that had a dead end. It soon turned out that there was a door at the end, and they entered it, and came face to face with a very ferocious dragon spitting fire. James had the presence of mind to freeze it just before it burned them down. Many attacks followed, but it was useless, as the three fought with all their might. The dragon finally tried to blast the whole place, but, just then, there was a shrill whistling noise, as the whole building shook. James had finally made his opponent he had fought in the past in the lab lie down, dead.
This was the most powerful spell he had been taught, and it filled his heart with joy to see that his hard work had finally shown its fruit. He patted the two on their backs, and said in a triumphant tone, "We Win!" Just then, a group of hokafandas watching the battle with their master's dragon swooped in, intending to catch them. James slashed his wand, and soon all the fifty hokafandas sent for them lay in a heap. "Enough of this!" roared James, grabbing the two and running out into the other end, and finally managed a grand escape, by tearing through the time and space barrier around the prison, and landing straight outside the prison, unfortunately just in front of a great serpent on the ground. The snake moved forward to get it's food, just as a lightning bolt hit it's eyes, forcing it to back away.
"Hey, look behind you!" shouted Samolina, as Thomas just escaped a deadly blow on his head by a big rock sent at him. "What are you doing here, in my farm?" roared a giant, red with fury. "You just now killed my pet snake!"
"It's alive, not dead. Sorry, I did that to save myself." James replied, throwing a ball of gold towards the snake, which was thrown towards the giant. The giant smiled, catching the snake in mid air. "Thank you! I'll help you if you are a Silgorian." he said, smiling at James. "I am a deserving Silgorian. Will you help us reach Silgorin land? I want to go to the ancient Purely Magic University." James replied, amplifying his voice. Thomas was surprised, and asked Samolina "A Magic University?"

Three mountain lion sightings prompt warnings at Shasta College
Shasta College had three mountain lion sightings reported late last week, prompting campus public safety officials to send out warnings to students.
Craig Carmena, director of campus safety, said the three sightings all took place in different areas on campus within a 24-hour period.
The first was near the south parking lot, the second was by the dormitories and the third was by the school's athletic department.
Carmena said campus patrol has been increased to protect students, and the school is working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
According to the DFW, people in areas known to have mountain lions should:
- Not hike, bike or jog alone
- Avoid outdoor activities when mountain lions are most active -- at dawn, dusk and night
- Keep an eye on small children
- Never approach a mountain lion
- Fight back if attacked
- Face the animal if encountered, make noise and try to look big by waving your arms
- Throw rocks or other objects at it
- Pick up small children
Any sightings should be reported to Campus Safety at 530-242-7910, or the DFW at 530-225-2300.
