During the spring semester of 2012 researchers from CAST are collaborating with the University of Arkansas Landscape Architecture Department to survey and historically document the cemetery of the WWII Japanese Relocation Center located in Rohwer, Desha County, Arkansas.
Robyn Dennis, a GIS Specialist at CAST, explains the theory and technique in acquiring GPS points at the Rohwer site
This effort is being led by Landscape Architecture Assistant Professor, Kimball Erdman. Professor Erdman's short format history placed third in the national 2011 Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) Challenge.
The Historic Landscape Preservation class is continuing this HALS documentation with the standard format, including an in-depth and measured drawings for the Library of Congress archives. This documentation is part of a larger conservation effort being led by Dr. Johanna Miller Lewis, the Graduate Coordinator for the Masters in Public History program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). Dr. Lewis received a National Park Service (NPS) grant for the 2011 Japanese Confinement Sites Preservation Program to stabilize and restore the Rohwer Relocation Center Cemetery's headstones and monuments. The University of Arkansas landscape architecture class has partially matched this grant by volunteering their services for the HALS report. In addition to the documentation and conservation efforts, UALR is working with Arkansas State University (ASU) Heritage Sites program to incorporate interpretive mapping and recordings to guide visitors through the site. CAST is contributing to this effort with a high-density survey (HDS) of the cemetery and the surrounding site using the Z+F 5006i scanner and the Leica C10 Scan Station scanner. In addition, the Center applied GIS methods to aid in the assessment of the current condition of the landscape and to globally locate significant features on the site. Finally, CAST utilized photogrammetric techniques to examine very low-relief art work that was discovered on a deteriorating bench located near the gravestones. CAST's involvement was made possible through equipment and funding provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded CI-TRAIN project, Grant 0918970. The data that was collected is currently being used by the University of Arkansas' landscape architecture class to assist them in understanding and accurately documenting the site for the HALS archiving.
Established in 1942, the Rohwer Relocation Center was one of two World War II internment camps located in Arkansas. These camps came into creation after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, establishing militarized, incarceration-type camps for Japanese American citizens in reaction to growing fears of a Japanese invasion. Originally covering 500 acres and reaching over 10,000 men, women and children at its peak population, the hospital smoke stack and the cemetery that was created by the internees are all that remain of the Rohwer Camp today. The cemetery gravestones and monuments were designed and cast in concrete by internees in the camp. They honor those who died in the camp as well as the Japanese American soldiers from the camp who died fighting for America in WWII. The majority of the grounds of the camp have returned to agricultural fields and the cemetery monuments are in an advanced state of deterioration. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and then designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1992, the cemetery is in great need of the documentation and conservation that is currently being pursued.
The cemetery was a challenge to HDS for several reasons. The majority of significant features are gravestones, which are less than a meter in height. These low-lying features are not ideal candidates for mid-range scanning when perpendicular angels to the scanner are preferred. In order to overcome this obstacle while also documenting the three large monuments, scans at multiple angles and heights were conducted. A 50-foot lift allowed researchers to capture the overall site as well as the low-lying gravestones. This height also allowed for the capture of some of the terrain, including water features and bridges created in the original design of the cemetery.
A second challenge involved accessing the site and time constraints. In order to provide the class with the data early in the semester so that it could be utilized throughout the documentation project, the survey had to be conducted in January. Wet and windy conditions resulted in increased complications for using the equipment and the 50-foot lift. With these conditions and a four-day window for data collection, close range scanning was eliminated as an option.
|Students survey the site through traditional methods while CAST researchers utilize a 50-foot lift to collect overall site scans
Instead, CAST researchers decided to use the Z+F 5006i scanner to document the large monuments and gravestone faces at denser point spacing and the Leica C10 Scan Station scanner for the overall site at sparser point spacing. The increased fields of view and speed of these scanners allowed for the entire cemetery to be documented in the time allowed. The point cloud for the two primary monuments has a point spacing of approximately 3-5 millimeters while the point cloud for the overall site has a point spacing of approximately 15-20 centimeters. Photogrammetric techniques were also used in an attempt to document the deteriorating concrete bench on the site. The inscriptions on the bench are an example of one of the lowest levels of relief found on surfaces within the cemetery. As this data is further processed and used, options for returning to the site to scan specific details at a higher resolution with a close range scanner and additional photogrammetry are also being considered.

with the C-10 Scanner
During this project, CAST is attempting to address a recurring objection to preservationist scanning that asserts rapid data collection creates a disconnection between the observer and the site being recorded. For this reason, on-site traditional analysis and recordation was conducted concurrently with the use of technologies on the site. This allowed for the class to intimately study the site while also giving input to the researchers to identify and prioritize features and elements for more in-depth recordation. This made it possible for time to be used efficiently on site with extended investigations being carried out later in the lab.
In addition to the laser scanning and photogrammetry, Global Positioning System (GPS) Equipment was also used to survey the site. A handheld Trimble GeoExplorer XH was used to locate the entry drive, each gravestone, the monuments, and each bollard of the original fence. The trees and vegetation on the site were also located, identified and described with a current condition and size. These coordinates, with sub-decimeter accuracy, will be used to globally locate the scan and photogrammetric data.
Perspective view of the overall site scanning data
Since the scanning data has been collected, CAST researchers have performed basic processing including cleaning and aligning the scans. This data, combined with the GPS locations, is now being used by the class to assist in their drawings and analysis of the site. In accordance with current Library of Congress standards, two-dimensional drawings and photographs are required for the HALS archival documentation. This means that the class must use a variety of techniques to transform the three-dimensional information into two-dimensional drawings. The 3D data allows for highly accurate measurements. It also allows for cross sections to be extracted and for volumetric and depth analyses to be performed. These more advanced analyses, which are not possible on the real world objects, are easily performed on the point cloud data and they provide an additional level of intimate knowledge about the site being studied. While three dimensional data provides certain advantages, the transformation from three dimensions to two dimensions presents a unique set of challenges as well. Traditional issues such as the drawing's projection plane and the level of detail being recorded take on a different meaning in the point cloud environment. Decisions about whether to draw the site in 3D and then "flatten" the line work into a 2D representation introduces one set of distortion and error, while using a projection plane within the 3D environment to draw lines directly into a 2D representation introduces a different set of distortion and error. The ability to actively reference millions of points during the drawing process raises the need for clear definitions about levels of detail and precision that are being pursued. Understanding that error, distortion, and the need for decisions will be present and will change as projects change, CAST is attempting develop a system for tracking and recording these factors with metadata and consistency throughout the project. This reflects a continuing area of research for the Center investigating ways that cutting edge technologies can be actively used in conjunction with traditional methods and standards to best utilize the advantages found in each. The Center hopes that in addition to concurrent data collection on the site, continuing the discussion and the exchange between the class and the researchers will allow for a better understanding of how the three-dimensional data can enhance and increase the thoroughness of the final documentation.

Drawing out Demons
Art helps addicts work through the hard times
James Pirtle's pencil drawings look like roses.
But they are more than that. They are a window into who he is, his past and his future.
"I love drawing roses. They're peaceful. You know roses, everybody loves roses. They're a sign of love and everything," Pirtle said.
But just a year ago, Pirtle's life wasn't so peaceful and beautiful.
He was working 80 hours a week, abusing alcohol, smoking marijuana and taking methamphetamines.
Drugs and alcohol "was the way I was able to compete," he said. The meth enabled him to work 80 hours a week.
But then he got hurt on the job and he lost his wife and four boys in a divorce.
"I just decided drug and alcohol abuse needed to end because it wasn't taking me anywhere," he said. "I lost my family over it."
He is disappointed in what he did to his family, the 41-year-old from Redding said.
"I let her (his wife) down as a husband. I should have been a better husband and not used drugs. I let my boys down," he said.
In December Pirtle checked into the Empire Recovery Center in Redding and has been off the booze and drugs ever since.
Part of the center's program involves clients spending time exploring their creative side. Pirtle said he hasn't drawn
since he was in prison four years ago.
But he's drawing again and his work was included in an art show the recovery center recently held. The show featured
about 30 pieces created by clients, said Nathan Wallace, who works at the center and helped organize the show.
The art provides a creative outlet, builds self-esteem and helps clients focus, Wallace said.
"Art is a therapy. It's sort of a meditation, at times," Wallace said.
"It gives us a way to express how we feel," said Rachelle Baughman, 23, of Carson City, Nev.
Baughman created a colorful pencil drawing that resembled interlocking puzzle pieces. She used to love writing, but her writing skills diminished the more she used drugs.
"I was losing my heart and soul, and that's what's most important to me," Baughman said.
Baughman and Pirtle said they are trying to shake off their past struggles and focus on their futures. Pirtle said he plans to go back to college and become an X-ray technician.
Baughman also said she wants to go back to college.
Eric Grubers has used his time in recovery to get re-acquainted with a style of pen-and-ink art he calls "abstract, surrealistic cubism." But he became addicted to drugs and alcohol and used his art to seclude himself from others.
"Burying yourself for 150 to 200 hours in art is not living," he said.
He has been clean and sober for three years and hopes to some day make a living off his art. Grubers said he had never shown his art before at the recovery center. One of his pieces included an abstract drawing he created in 1973.
Wallace said part of the aim of the art program is to re-ignite clients' creativity.
"That's what this program is all about, finding the artist within," Wallace said.

Give the gift of healthier edible goodies this season.
The perfect present for many people is a food gift. Think about it: Sooner or later, food gets consumed, and it won't collect dust sitting on a shelf or take up space in a closet.
The way I see it, you can never have too many festive food gifts on hand during the holiday season. You can bring them to parties as hostess gifts, or give them to friends or neighbors who stop by unexpectedly. When you don't quite know what to give to kind coworkers or talented teachers, give the gift of food. Everyone's got to eat!
To give you some ideas -- 12 to be exact -- I've put together 12 days' worth of holiday food gifts. But these are not your typical holiday offerings -- there's no fruitcake to joke about, no tacky tins of stale popcorn parked under the tree, no obligatory bottles of wine given as host or hostess gifts.
Some of these gifts you can order online, and some you assemble at home and deliver in person. They may not all appeal to you, but there should be something here for just about anyone.
1. On the first day of Christmas, my FOODIE gave to me … a tin of pomegranate tea.
There are several brands of Pomegranate Green tea out there. But the shiny red tin from The Republic of Tea makes an especially festive gift. It's the gift that keeps on giving, because each tin contains 50 tea bags to enjoy. Send it in a beautiful gift box or wrap with pretty cellophane or tissue paper. You could include a teacup or mug, too.
2. On the second day of Christmas, my FOODIE gave to me … 2 bottles clinging.
Instead of wine, give friends a Napa Valley company's best-selling duo: a bottle of Lemon Pepper Olive Oil and a bottle of Blackberry Vanilla Balsamic Vinegar. "When these two are paired together, the flavor just pops," says owner Tony Pennisi, who says the combination was discovered quite by accident.
This relatively young company, Big Paw (started in 1993) doesn't advertise. They sell their gourmet goods at farmer's markets across Northern California, and now online. They'll mail their products anywhere Federal Express will go. You can find them at www.bigpawgrub.com.

Five things to watch as Baylor takes on Buffalo
Photo: Bill Wippert/AP
MACK ATTACK: Buffalo senior linebacker Kahlil Mack was arguably the best player on the field in the Bulls' opener at Ohio State. He had a game-high nine tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and returned an interception 45 yards for his first career touchdown. The 6-foot-3, 248-pound Mack has 58 1/2 career tackles for a loss, which is 16 1/2 behind Jason Babin's NCAA record set at Western Michigan from 2000-03. Mack also has 11 career forced fumbles, three off another NCAA career mark.

The Meehl Foundation has four $7,500.00 scholarships available for residential Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment. These four scholarship can be applied to the total cost of residential BPD treatment, which is usually $34,800.00 reducing the cost to $27,300.00 for a 90 day stay at the Meehl House. The Maureen J Meehl Bipolar/BPD Foundation is a 501c3 foundation that receives donations throughout the year. Maureen J. Meehl was a young mother with four young children when her life was cut short. Special consideration for young mothers with children will be given for these scholarships.
Borderline Personality Disorder is a maladaptive coping style that has up to an 87% success treatment rate using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Basically, DBT maintains that some people, due to genetic predisposition and environment, react abnormally to emotional stimulation. Their level of arousal goes up much more quickly, peaks at a higher level, and takes more time to return to normal.
The essential feature of Borderline Personality Disorder is a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity that begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts. People with BPD experience intense abandonment fears and inappropriate anger. Their frantic efforts to avoid abandonment may include impulsive actions such as cutting, burning, self-mutilation, and suicidal behaviors.
Some people with BPD exhibit other impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating and risky sex. BPD often occurs together with other psychiatric problems, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other personality disorders.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is the gold standard treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder, and new studies show that it is also effective in Bipolar Disorder.The Meehl Foundation's intensively trained DBT team will give special consideration to applicants with children who have sustained some trauma or have PTSD. Paying it forward for the next generation is what these scholarships are about.
Any person applying for the scholarship must meet the DSM-lV criteria for BPD without psychosis. All candidates must have a willingness to change, make a 90-day commitment to the program, and be willing to see a psychiatrist and follow a treatment plan. Applicants may contact the Meehl Foundation at email@example.com to request an intake application. Once selected. a $2000.00 deposit holds a position until December 31, 2013 of this year.
Debra Meehl speaks at national conferences around the U.S. on the topic "Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder with Substance Abuse." She teaches, works, and lives the Dialectical Behavioral principles while operating The Meehl Foundation.
The Meehl House is the only residential treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder that is an "Amen Brain Healthy Program." Clients benefit from an individual plan for a holistic balanced approach to mental wellness with psychological testing and assessment, medication management, hypnosis, acupuncture, hair follicle testing for vitamins and minerals, hormone balancing, and nutritional counseling. Most important, clients learn how to take back and create lives that are fulfilling and rewarding.

Oh, yeah that is a good point. I'd actually forgotten it was all a hallucination, probably because they already did that idea 20 years ago
On the plus side though, at least it airs before the end of the world.
Sweet. I get to see Batman, The Avengers, and new Red Dwarf. I'll be able to die happy
I am interested to see what they do about Holly, though. Judging by his statements at the time Back to Earth aired, it's doubtful Lovett will sign on, so unless they can get Hattie Hayridge back, they're in a bit of a pickle. Unless they're just going to say the Skutters

Over 250 prospect representing 20 states took part in the Rivals.com Camp Series presented by Under Armour on Sunday at Maine South High School, including several of the top names in Illinois.
Providence Catholic junior wide receiver Miles Boykin was named the camp's most valuable player from a very deep wide receiver group. He was extended an invitation to the Rivals 100 Five Star Challenge in June and will match up against some of the top recruits in the nation.
Nazareth Academy junior outside linebacker Decxavier Kelly-Martin also received similar praise, while highly sought after four-star ranked national defensive end recruit Terry Beckner Jr. from East St. Louis was named as the defensive line MVP.
The in-state Class of 2015 also featured a group of players that had some eye-opening performances from a few lesser-known names.
[MORE: EDGY recruiting news: Illini add another 2015 in-stater]
Lake Forest Academy DL Wesley Annan was very strong all day, along with Plainfield East DL Daniel Jackson and Plainfield North DT Jack Kramer. Coal City junior OL Matt Long was also solid.
The camp also saw some impressive performances from a few prospects from the Classes of 2016 and 2017.
The offensive linemen group from the Class of 2016 has been drawing early recruiting hype and offers and both Downers Grove South sophomore OT Erik Swenson (Michigan verbal commit) along with Carmel sophomore OT Sean Foster more than back up the noise as both had standout performances. Rockford Auburn freshman Vederian Lowe is a name to watch in the Class of 2017.
The wide receiver group was one of the strongest positions on Sunday and Naperville Central 2016 WR Emmanual Rugamba along with East St. Louis 2017 WR Jeff Thomas challenged for top receiver honors regardless of graduation year.
The Rivals.com Camp also had a college and NFL flavor. Parker, Colorado Valor Christian junior DB Brian Dawkins, the son of former NFL All Pro safety Brian Dawkins, was a top defensive performer. Also in attendance was Urbana sophomore QB Patrick Beckman, who is the son of Illinois head coach Tim Beckman as both Dads were in attendance at the camp on Sunday watching their sons.

1. Efforts to understand the links between evolutionary and ecological dynamics hinge on our ability to measure and understand how genes influence phenotypes, fitness and population dynamics. Quantitative genetics provides a range of theoretical and empirical tools with which to achieve this when the relatedness between individuals within a population is known.
2. A number of recent studies have used a type of mixed-effects model, known as the animal model, to estimate the genetic component of phenotypic variation using data collected in the field. Here, we provide a practical guide for ecologists interested in exploring the potential to apply this quantitative genetic method in their research.
3. We begin by outlining, in simple terms, key concepts in quantitative genetics and how an animal model estimates relevant quantitative genetic parameters, such as heritabilities or genetic correlations.
4. We then provide three detailed example tutorials, for implementation in a variety of software packages, for some basic applications of the animal model. We discuss several important statistical issues relating to best practice when fitting different kinds of mixed models.
5. We conclude by briefly summarizing more complex applications of the animal model, and by highlighting key pitfalls and dangers for the researcher wanting to begin using quantitative genetic tools to address ecological and evolutionary questions.

Top Stories: Worldwide
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The following are the day's top general news stories:
1. South Korea, U.S. Rework Trade Accord to Appease Ford on Tariff Timetable 2. Obama Promises U.S. Troops Full Support During Surprise Afghanistan Visit 3. Tax Boost for Hedge Fund Executives Dropped From Bill by Senate's Baucus 4. Illinois Passes Pension Fix for Cities, Doesn't Act on State Bond Proposal 5. Jets Safety Leonhard Out for NFL Season With Shin Injury, Daily News Says
1. South Korea, U.S. Rework Trade Accord to Appease Ford on Tariff Timetable
The U.S. and South Korea agreed to change automobile provisions in a pending free-trade deal, gaining the support of Ford Motor Co. and lawmakers in both parties for the stalled accord. Both nations will scale back initial tariff cuts for cars, and South Korea said it would allow more imports of U.S.-made vehicles that meet American standards and not Korean rules. The U.S. will maintain a 25 percent tariff on truck imports for eight years instead of beginning to phase it out immediately. "This was the only way to reverse the historic, lopsided pattern of one-way trade with South Korea," Representative Sander Levin, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a critic of the earlier accord, said yesterday in a statement supporting the agreement. With almost $68 billion in trade between the nations, a deal would be the U.S.´s largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, and would help President Barack Obama meet his goal of doubling American exports in five years. It was backed by companies including Citigroup Inc., Caterpillar Inc., General Electric Co. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
2. Obama Promises U.S. Troops Full Support During Surprise Afghanistan Visit
President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan and promised them unstinting support for their mission as he prepares to review his strategy for the war, which is now in its 10th year. Obama, who announced a revised Afghan War plan one year ago this week, secretly flew through the night from Washington and arrived in darkness at Bagram Airfield, north of Kabul. The president met with U.S. military and civilian officials and visited wounded troops at a base hospital. "We will never let this country serve as a safe haven for terrorists who would attack the United States of America again," Obama told 3,850 military personnel from the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Marine Corps inside a hangar at the base. "We will do whatever it takes to make sure that you have the strategy and the resources and the equipment and the leadership to get this done." A planned side trip to see Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul was scrapped because high winds and low visibility in the mountain passes between Bagram and the capital made the helicopter trip too risky, White House officials said. The two spoke for about 15 minutes by telephone instead.
3. Tax Boost for Hedge Fund Executives Dropped From Bill by Senate's Baucus
Executives at investment partnerships including private-equity firms and hedge funds have won a four- year battle with congressional Democrats over increasing taxes on a large portion of their pay. U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, omitted a provision to boost tax rates on so- called carried interest from a bill to extend Bush-era tax cuts for middle-income Americans that is set for a Senate vote tomorrow. The bill also would renew dozens of expired business tax breaks to which the carried interest proposal had been attached as a budget-balancing measure. The omission closes the door on efforts by Democrats to change the tax treatment of carried interest. Carried interest is the compensatory share of an investment partnership´s profits fund managers receive as part of their pay. The pay can qualify for the 15 percent capital gains tax treatment even though it´s a return on labor rather than capital invested. "I think, for all practical purposes, it´s in a deep coma, not to come out until the discussion of tax reform," said Clint Stretch, managing principal at Deloitte Tax LLP, a Washington consulting firm. "It looks like it´s dead for this year."
4. Illinois Passes Pension Fix for Cities, Doesn't Act on State Bond Proposal
The Illinois General Assembly placed new demands on the funding of municipal retirement plans, even as it recessed until early January without acting on a $3.7 billion bond proposal to make payments into state employee pension funds. The state Senate doesn´t have enough votes to pass the bond plan, said John Patterson, spokesman for Senate President John Cullerton, a day after the chamber sent Governor Pat Quinn a bill that Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley warned would result in the biggest property-tax increase in the city´s history. Legislative inaction on state pension funding has dragged on for months in Springfield, prompting advocates of pension reform in Illinois to warn of the dangers of unfunded liabilities that total at least $80 billion. "We don´t have the will to cut or reform the system, and we´ve been afraid to raise taxes," said R. Eden Martin, president of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago. "Because of the political consequences, we´ve done neither."
5. Jets Safety Leonhard Out for NFL Season With Shin Injury, Daily News Says
New York Jets starting safety Jim Leonhard will miss the rest of the season after injuring his leg in practice, the New York Daily News reports citing an unidentified person close to the team. Leonhard, 28, hurt his shin today during drills at the Jets´ practice facility in Florham Park, New Jersey, the team announced. The team said he would miss the Dec. 6 game against the New England Patriots. The Daily News reported later that Leonhard was carted off the field and won´t play again in 2010. Leonhard is in his sixth year in the National Football League and second with the Jets, who have allowed the third- fewest yards in the league this season. He has 61 tackles and one interception through 11 games.

Well I didnt make it all the way to Texas - got caught in mountains in New Mexico - rain , wind, chills etc. - ended the effort. Thought I had the flu - but probably just the results of exhaustion and really old muscles (67) saying Enough. Went almost 800 miles over three weeks. Rented car and finished.
Several impressions - we really do have a lot of Border Patrol people, We really do have a lot of Wet Backs. Riding a bike - one tends to sneak up on groups hiding in bushes.
No one on the main land is worried about price of gas - only vehicles allowed on roads are enormous motor homes and suvs.
In case anyone needs it - there is a product called Buttr that solves the saddle sore problem.
Only people allowed to run motels are from India. After spending three weeks in CA, AZ, NM - there is really some BAD Mexican food out there!
The only consistent TV station on the mainland is a weird station called The Weather Channel - we dont have that in Hawaii. In most cases it was more interesting than CBS, NBC, and ABC.
Kevlar Bike Tires (Specialized Armadillo) are well worth the price - not a single flat!
Had really hard time convincing local UPS lady that I could ship my bike back to Hawaii via UPS Ground. She had to call headquarters before she would believe me.

Huang Yan Paints Song Dynasty Landscapes on the Human BodyJuxtapoz // Thursday, April 11, 2013
In his latest series, Chinese Landscapes, Beijing-based artist Huang Yan emulated traditional painting styles from the Song Dynasty on the human body. By using the human body as a canvas, Huang has reinterpreted a traditional practice and reinforced 'Taoist concepts that imply a sense of harmony between man and his environment.'

As the gallery notes, "In this latest exhibition, Simkins' dream creations have awoken, fully conscious and yet confined to two-dimensional canvas and paper surfaces.

Joe Fig's Tiny TablesIllustration // Wednesday, April 10, 2013
We love to feature Joe Fig because his work is so wonderfully playful and difficult to look away from. After doing a series of miniature sculptures of artists in their studios, Fig goes on to make this series of artist's tables, a strange and whimsical approach toward realistic rendering. Fig's miniature tables look frighteningly accurate, yet they are miniscule, lending a sense of kitsch to these homages to great artists. The workspaces belong to big names like Jackson Pollock and Chuck Close. We love being able to look inside these art world giants' lives through the handiwork of a skilled miniature craftsman.
Bart Hess: "Heart to Mouth"Erotica // Wednesday, April 10, 2013
In this video, Bart Hess has dreamed up a marvelously weird and rubbery take on love. Two women in flesh-toned bustiers embrace via two massive, bulbous red yoga balls over their heads. Their slow embraces are amplified to an absurd level, reminiscent of Bjork's "All is Full of Love" robo-makeout music video. This is visual metaphor at its best and most playful--we will never look at a yoga ball the same way. Bart Hess is a creative wunderkind, serving up a disturbing and wonderful two minutes of some of the strangest stuff we've ever seen, and we want to watch it over and over.

Jason Freeny's Imagined AnatomiesErotica // Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Jason Freeny is the self-proclaimed "son of hippies," a wildly weird artist and designer whose series of anatomical toy sculpture are terrifying and awesome. Freeny acquired a degree in industrial design at Pratt, then went on to work for MTV as a designer and artist. He has a youthful imagination that both astounds and disturbs. These imagined anatomy studies challenge the boundaries of childlike and adult, giving three dimensions to an otherwise very illustrative idea. Freeny's work is both innocent and strange, scientific and fanciful, mature and youthful.
Snorri Sturluson "Laundromat" @ Known Gallery, LAJuxtapoz // Wednesday, April 10, 2013
"For all its squalor and despair, the laundromat has held a curiously elevated status in the global mind. Things happen in laundromats. People get hurt. People hide. People see God. People fall in love. People go nuts. People make plans. Or so TV and film have led us to believe for the last 40 years. Snorri Sturluson is certainly no exception to the laundromat's allure. When he moved to New York City in 2001 he was smitten with their charm. It was, Sturluson said, as if everything he'd learned about America over the years had contracted in a brilliant epiphany.
'Villes Eteintes,' Darkened Cities by Thierry CohenJuxtapoz // Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Paris-born artist Thierry Cohen's series Villes Eteintes depicts major cities of the world with no light pollution, no lights of any kind. Thierry employs a technique that requires him to document the exact time, angle, latitude and longitude of each exposure and then track the rotation of the earth to locations with clear night skies such as the Mojave, Sahara, and Atacama deserts. By combining the two images, the photographer has produced a truly profound work that asks us to reflect both spiritually and politically.

About Anna Mae "Ann" (Bland) Donaldson Mitchell (1911-1982)
SEE "Timeline" for chronological order of life events including photos and documents as available; SEE "Media" for Documents and any photo collection included from "Timeline"
Anna Mae Bland was born on March 7, 1911, a daughter of Aden B. & Margaret Jane (Jones) Bland in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. She was the sister of Sister of Hansell Elizabeth Bland (1907-1909); twins, Earl Bland (1914-1943) and Ernestine "Kitty" (Bland) Bennett Coxe (1914-2005).
In 1927 when her father died, they were living at 605 West 44th St. in Savannah, next door to his mother's sister, Mattie Brunson. Anna Mae "Ann" Bland married on June 19th, 1927, Sunday night, to Mr. Eason Winfred Donaldson in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Lacy Nes Smith. They were divorced before 1931.
By 1940, Ann lived with her family including mother, Maggie, brother Earl, sister and niece, Ernestine and Betty Bennett. They all lived at 515 NW 50th St. in Miami, FL. Ann worked as a Dry Cleaning Checker at Miami Laundry. Around 1944, Ann married Charles Lester Mitchell. (Niece Betty Bennett Semple remembered that they were dating and married around the time her mother and Ann's sister, Ernestine Bland Bennett, got married to Russell Coxe in Nov 1943.) They had two children, Earl and Marlene Mitchell. They have lived at 2121 Bahama Dr, Miramar, FL and Hollywood FL.
Niece Betty Semple said she could really play the piano and could do "short-hand" as a stenographer. Son of Betty, Jim Semple, Jr., commented, "I will always remember, as a boy, going to Florida from Texas and enjoying a Thanksgiving meal with Aunt Ann and family, with Turkey and dressing along with some ocean delicacies, like lobster. Only time in my life that ever happened and I really enjoyed it. Left a lasting wonderful memory".
On August 7, 1982, Anna Mae "Ann" (Bland) Mitchell, age 71, died of intestinal problems in Hollywood, Broward County, Florida and buried in Woodlawn Park Cemetery, Miami, Dade County, Florida.
Note: On copy of Family Record document (SEE "Timeline" & "Media"), Ann was listed as "Annie Maye Bland" but most sources list her name as "Anna Mae Bland".

I once thought that to, but then realized these idiots couldn't carry a bucket of water let alone an attack like that and keep it secret. Seriously, I was a supporter of the idea that it was the Bush Admin. But I realized that they just sucked. That when given the information in a memo that detailed every thing they needed too know to stop it... they went on vacation. Look at how they messed every thing up. It's kind of hard to believe these idiots pulled it off.
But since 9/11 the word 'muslim' has become synonymous with terrorism, yet only a tiny percentage of these fanatics are the cause of such problems and are breaking true Islamic law by hurting and killing.
Basically, true Islam forbids the killing of innocents.

Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss
Question from ooglopboy
DLC pendant not dropping?
So i got the DLC for this last night. today when i was playing, i killed the hydra, killed the golem, freed dusk, summoned her at her rock, bought all her spells, then went to the archives and killed the golem at least 30 times with no pendant. i checked my inventory after each kill, then went and checked the ''glitch chest" behind frampt. still no pendant. am I missing something here? i know the DLC is on because i can see the new manse catalyst (or whatever its called) at the giant blacksmith.
3 years ago
Yeah, I had that same problem before too. The huge and painful mistake that happened for me was that the DLC itself was not full downloaded for may reasons (you stopped it early, shut off your system, played some other game that stopped it, etc) then it became corrupted but shows that it is "done". Not too sure if you're having the same problem but you can still check. Go to your system settings and storage to check if the DLC is being read correctly and not corrupted. Because if it was corrupted, you can still see the golem, kill the golem, but no pendant will ever drop from it. Pain in ass, but necessary.

You need to put the lordvessel at the altar, either by killing four kings and speak with the darkwraith covenant or speak with the big wormlike thing in Firelink shrine.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Dictator "Kills" Elisabetta Canalis in Bizarre Cannes Stunt
With a little help from a costumed Sacha Baron Cohen, Elisabetta Canalis made a major splash on her way to Cannes this year
The Italian stunner, 33--who dated George Clooney from 2009-2011, and recently split from Jackass star Steve-O--took part in an elaborate photo stunt alongside Cohen, 40, dressed as his Dictator character General Aladeen.
PHOTOS: Cannes film festival style
The duo enacted a sexy romance gone wrong as they cavorted aboard a yacht, sipping champagne and helping one another apply sunscreen.
Things took a turn for the sordid when the pair got into a spat, during which an enraged Aladeen dragged his new lady below deck. Minutes later, one of the Dictator's uniformed bodyguards emerged, carrying what appeared to be a large black bodybag--which the two men promptly tossed overboard.
PHOTOS: Last year's summer blockbusters
The newly-unattached General arrived at Cannes smiling, and made his way to the legendary Carlton Hotel on a camel.
This isn't the first time Cohen--as Aladeen--has caused a stir at industry get-togethers. At the Oscars in February, the comedian poured Kim Jong-Il's "ashes" all over red carpet correspondent Ryan Seacrest.

November 29, 2015
ROSSVILLE, Ga. (AP) - State fire officials say 35 horses were killed when fire swept through their stables at a business that raises show horses in northwest Georgia.
Georgia fire marshal spokesman Glenn Allen says the blaze happened Thursday at Happy Valley Farms in Rossville, just south of the Georgia-Tennessee line.
He says damage was estimated at up to $6 million because of the value of the horses that perished. Allen described them as show horses, and said that some were valued as high as $250,000.
Allen says two stables and a storage facility were destroyed.
The cause was still under investigation Friday afternoon.
Trainer Daniel Jenner says the structure was engulfed within 20 minutes.

And that's fine. I am open to discussing all facets of what I've said - without hostility of course.
I'd have liked to see you tie it more securely to Star Trek specifically, rather than simply alluding to it as "timely" and then changing the subject to something not actually addressed by the article at all.
Just because the article did not specifically say "Star Trek" within it? That strikes me as not a very sound argument as, again, the article, by my interpretation, spoke of the danger of films becoming unrelentlying superficial due to the suits chasing the dragon of mass appeal - which today translates to giving folks 90+ minutes of bombastic CGI action. These films and the ideology that drives them seem to come at the exprense of directors who are actually trying to say something.
Then I, in my extrapolation, put forth the opinion of how that mirrors my fears of Abrams shepherding of the Trek franchise.
I pause to note that I have clearly said it is my opinion. My opinion on this is in no small part rooted in fear and paranoia (meaning that I've acknowledge it is not 100% rational - but most fears aren't). So I have been honest and sincere in expressing my heartfelt thoughts on this matter.
That's nice, but again: what has it to do with Star Trek and this movie?
To restate:
The previews of "Star Trek Into Darkness" leads me to feel it will be yet another high-octane, almost non-stop blast of CGI'ed action in hopes of duplicating this franchises success from 2009 by giving us a very similar film.
Big Picture:
The basic fear expressed by Stone and others is that the studios chase of the mainstream blockbuster leads to a diminished diversity in filmmaking.
As it applies to "Star Trek:"
I fear that because this upcoming films seems to be a twin of the previous one that Abrams in looking to deliver a second blockbuster is diminishing the variety of stories that Trek will be allowed to tell by reducing it to one basic formula.
In doing that, Paramount will adopt his formula as an unalterable templete, and I would hate for that to happen as the franchise I have enjoyed since the beginning told a variety of stories in a variety of ways.
At this point, I fear J.J. Abrams has rebooted "Star Trek" minus the "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination" - again, based on the previews of this film giving me the impression that it will be largely the same sort of spectacle of the 2009 film (which, btw, I loved, but would be saddened if that was all we got in Trek films from here on out).
You "extrapulated". Is that the same thing as "making up a load of bollocks with the intent to bait or provoke others" with passages such as these?(emphasis mine)
I plead guilty to it being just as much "a load of bullocks" as anyone else's opinion or postings in this forum.
That's borderline trolling right there, dear boy, and it ought to stop.
Someone putting forth something you (and perhaps everyone else) disagrees with is not "trolling" - not even close.
I have been open, honest and sincere in this discussion. I have been more than willing consider what you and others have to say. Even in this response I am without anger and intend no insult. Of course I would very much like to provocate thought but not ire.
Balderdash. You don't get to play the victim card - not with the list of cautions you've racked up in less than a month's membership.
So am I too understand your real objection to my post is due to reasons other than its content and without regard to its merits/demerits?
That is a bit dishonest and disengenous on your part then and an admission of committing ad hominem attacks on me - that is trolling (by
I will say this though:
Yes, I have made a few missteps though I have also been praised a time or two as well.
Having said that, I have clearly been forthright and upstanding in my discussions here.
What substance? Propping up a link and a near-meaningless quote at the top before veering off into a muddle of taunts, clichés and empty phraseology which everyone here has heard dozens of times before? That's not substance, and it got as much focus as it merited.
Again, you appear to be attacking my post for reasons of vendetta rather than as part of a sincere desire to discuss.
I think it is evident that even if my fears turn out to be justified that some here have expressed they do not see it as a problem -They would unabashedly embrace such an Abram's doctrine and that saddens me. I simply believe that a "more of the same" ideology is the antithesis of what "Star Trek" is and was created to represent.
You want to think a little more toward honest participation in discussion and not nearly so much about trying be "provocative". Really.
I do not believe there has been any instance in this thread of my being dishonest. I have responded to your posts politely. I have thoughtfully considered your points. I have agreed with bits of somethings you've put forth. I have even adopted some changes based on your suggestions and input. How have I been a villian in this thread?

Manufacturer: WOW (View all products by WOW)
Model: Dressage (View all Dressage reviews)
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle through Kiah Equine in Australia - the Aussie distributors for the WOW saddle. It cost $4500 and took 8 weeks to get to me. The West Australian rep measured my horse and ordered the saddle for me.
Likes: Not much - Nice quality leather - although too soft and marks easy. Very nicely made. More than likely a good "concept" but that is about it.
Dislikes: This saddle was custom made and designed for my rather difficult to fit horse. Trouble is, it never fit. To the point of inflicting serious pain on my horse. Including a pinched nerve in her shoulder causing fluid lumps over her spine. According to Australian Consumer Law I was entitled to a refund or replacement. Kiah Equine refused to participate, and the customer service I received was positively appalling. I ended up accepting their offer of $3600 just to get the matter over and done with. I would and could never recommend anyone in Australia buy a WOW saddle. Customer service etc is fine IF you don't complain or have a problem. The Aus reps are inflexible and do not seem to have the required knowledge and skills to adequately fit, measure and order saddles.
Quality: Quality is good, I'm sure the construction is good. Saddle is only as good as the fitter.
Summary: An extremely expensive mistake. TERRIBLE customer service and sheer ignorance and arrogance. Aus reps are unable to properly fit saddles - they are not accredited saddle fitters. If I could give it a 0 I would.

Your team instructions will broadly set out the tactical style that you chose when assessing your team.
The first of these instructions that will be discussed are mentality and team shape which, along with your formation, form the basis of your tactical system by giving your team a starting structure and general approach.
You can then fine tune your team's style using various specific team instructions, each of which will be explained in detail.
The final part of this section will bring everything together by suggesting appropriate instructions for each of the Tactical Styles introduced earlier.
How to Set Team Instructions
You can set team instructions on the Tactics Overview screen using the Mentality and Team Shape drop-downs and the Team Instructions button (to edit specific team instructions).
The process of selecting team instructions that set out a defined tactical style that suits the abilities of your players will be explained in the guides that follow.
Tactical Flexibility
Of course, there is more to the tactical side of football management than just creating a single tactic for general use. Tactical flexibility can be crucial to your success as a manager, and so it would be beneficial to create two or three different tactics for use at different times. In the Match Day section, the Tactical Planning guide will discuss suitable tactical approaches for use against different types of opposition team while the During the Match guide will look at how tactical changes can be made in reaction to different scenarios that you are likely to encounter during matches.

Port Orchard Rotary Donates a Ton of Apples to Helpline
PORT ORCHARD - Rotarians showed their volunteer spirit again this year by donating 2,132 pounds of premium Red Delicious apples to the South Kitsap Helpline food bank. Brian Sauer, David Selbig and Steve Hutchins drove over the pass Monday to eastern Washington to pick up the apples in Brian's truck. They then delivered the 49 cases of apples to South Kitsap Helpline in Port Orchard despite a torrential downpour Monday afternoon.
Helpline's Food Program Manager Susan Saiki expressed how much fresh produce is appreciated, especially this time of year.
Rotarian Steve Hutchins arranged for the Oneonta Starr Ranch to donate half of the apples.

The New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum's Culture Series continues Thursday when Karl Laumbach will present a lecture on the life and times of Francisco Bojorquez, an early day hero of Sierra County and one of New Mexico's greatest cowboys. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. in the museum's theater. Admission is a suggested donation of $2.
Bojorquez is a fading legend in the memories of old timers in Sierra County. Born in California, the son of Spanish émigrés, Bojorquez was raised in Sonora where he learned the skills of a vaquero. Arriving in Sierra County in the 1880s, he rapidly established himself as a top hand on local ranches and in regional "cowboy contests" where he pitted his roping and riding skills against the best cowboys in the Southwest.
The respect that made him the wagon boss on large ranches employing Texas cowboys also propelled him into political office as county commissioner, state representative and finally, county sheriff. Known for his firm hand and equally gentle nature, Bojorquez left his mark. A corrido (ballad) celebrating his life states that "Porque aqui havia Baqueros, De lo bueno a lo major" (Because here we have cowboys, of the good, he was the best).
For the last 25 years, Laumbach has collected stories and photographs of Bojorquez and his life and times. This presentation will present Bojorquez' story as developed from archival research and interviews with friends and family.
Laumbach has pursued an archaeological career in southern New Mexico since 1974. A graduate of New Mexico State University, he spent nine years directing projects for the NMSU contract archaeology program before joining Human Systems Research, Inc. in 1983. After serving as executive director of the organization for 10 years, he now serves as associate director and is principal investigator for wide variety of projects. His research interests are varied, including land grant research in his native northeastern New Mexico, the pueblo archaeology of southern New Mexico, and the history and archaeology of the Apache.
The museum's culture series is held at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month.
Ice Cream Sunday
Noon to 4 p.m., July 20
Ice cream is the star of the museum's most popular event of the summer. The 11th annual Ice Cream Sunday features homemade ice cream, the popular ice cream sandwich eating contest with prizes for the different age groups, living history and more. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens, $2 for children 5 to 17 and free to children 4 and under.
Summer camps
The museum's Summer Camps for Kids continue in July and offer a wide variety of fun, hands-on learning opportunities for children 5 and older. Our July camps feature "Nature Camp" Tuesday through Thursday for kids 8 to 11; "Writing with Light: The Wonders of Photography" on July 15-17 for ages 8 to 12; "Cowboy 101" on July 22-24 for ages 5 to 14; and "Archaeology Camp" on July 29-31 for ages 7 to 12. For information, visit the museum's website at www.nmfarmandranchmuseum.org or call 575-522-4100. Pre-registration is required.

I want to use bar codes to help a robot navigate a home. I was looking at QR codes and a few other kinds, but I don't know enough about bar code recognition to know up front the variant that will give me the highest success rate when viewed at different angles and perhaps even while the robot is in motion. Does anyone know which bar code type excels in applications like this one? I most likely will be using OpenCV in conjunction with one of the open source bar code libraries to do my work. My users will print the bar codes on their printer an mount them on a stiff surface to create navigation placards placed at strategic locations around the house.
I will go ahead and suggest QR Code
Keep in mind there must be as little blur as possible and the image must be clear. I suggest you scale the QR Codes up so resolution doesn't become a problem(50cm x 50cm maybe?) and do not include a lot of data.
zbar: http://zbar.sourceforge.net/download.html
zxing: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
I used zbar on ios for a very simple app, it worked pretty well.
Have you looked at the existing ar_pose library (it's a ROS package) or the underlying library used by
Both QR Code and Data Matrix are good choices. QRCode is more commonly used for end user applications, and Data Matrix is seen more often in robotic and industrial applications. If you needed maximum flexibility I'd recommend Data Matrix, and as of a few years ago it was still a marginally more robust code. But since QR Code is so popular these days and since there are so many implementations available, you might as well use QR Code.
Both QR Code and Data Matrix are robust codes. They can survive a certain amount of damage, and good decoders will work even if the code is viewed at an angle, in uneven lighting, or even if the code is located on a curved surface. One advantage of codes with built-in error correction is that they have only two read results: success with the correct or decode failure. You won't get misreads.
Open source implementations will probably work fine for high contrast codes (e.g. black ink on white paper), but if you end up having problems you might consider buying a cheap commercial smart camera from an industrial machine vision company. Some years ago I carved a Data Matrix into a hunk of light-color rubber with a pen knife, and with glancing light the code was readable to an industrial-quality decoder.
