A McDonald's store in the Philippines. (Flickr)
Alleging unpaid wages and repeated retaliation, McDonald's workers in central Pennsylvania launched a surprise strike at 11 this morning. The strikers are student guest workers from Latin America and Asia, brought to the United States under the controversial J-1 cultural exchange visa program. Their employer is one of the thousands of McDonald's franchisees with whom the company contracts to run its ubiquitous stores.
"We are afraid," striker Jorge Victor Rios told The Nation prior to the work stoppage. "But we are trying to overcome our fear."
The McDonald's corporation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The J-1 visa program is officially intended to promote educational and cultural exchange. But advocates allege that J-1, like the other guest worker programs that collectively bring hundreds of thousands of workers in and out of the United States each year, is rife with abuse. The National Guestworker Alliance (NGA), the organization spearheading today's strike, charges that such programs—whose future is intimately tied up with the fate of comprehensive immigration reform—offer ample opportunities for employers to intimidate workers, suppress organizing and drive down labor standards.
"McDonald's is just the latest in a long line of corporations that have hijacked the US guest worker program to get cheap, exploitable labor, and that's what the students are," NGA Executive Director Saket Soni told The Nation. "The conditions are horrific, but have become the norm for guest workers."
The workers are striking over what they charge are rampant abuses at their stores in Harrisburg and nearby Lemoyne and Camp Hill. According to NGA, the visiting students each paid $3,000 or more for the chance to come and work, and were promised full-time employment; most received only a handful of hours a week, while others worked shifts as long as twenty-five hours straight, without being paid overtime. "Their employer is also their landlord," said Soni. "They're earning sub-minimum wages, and then paying it back in rent" to share a room with up to seven co-workers. "Their weekly net pay is actually sometimes brought as low as zero."
"We are living in [a] basement," said Rios, "cramped together, with no divisions, in bunkbeds which are meant for children."
"We suffered some humiliating moments" he added. "Managers would mock us or make fun of us because we were making mistakes at the beginning." While they had been promised transportation to work, he charged, instead "we have to walk along the highway, and cars pass us by very closely, and on several occasions we were almost hit by cars."
NGA also charges that management required the guest workers to be on call twenty-four hours a day, ready to show up for work at thirty minutes' notice, and that workers have been subject to threats and retaliation for speaking up or turning down work. Rios said that once, when he refused a last-minute request to come into work, "they said, 'OK, then don't complain when we give you even fewer hours.' And they did." Another time, he added, "they actually threatened one of our roommates by saying that they're just a call away from sending him back to his home country."

Introducing My Kids to the Lovely Aunt Flo...or NotMeghan Gesswein
As I've mentioned before, we have reached the point in our lives where I try to no longer allow my older kids to see me naked. It's just…awkward for everyone.
This doesn't mean, however, that they never bust into the bathroom when I'm in there. It happens on occasion and has led to more than a few embarrassing situations. Apparently, I need to get into the habit of locking the bathroom door. And they need to get into the habit of knocking. And leaving me alone for more than 30 seconds. But that's a story for a different day.
As we were in the bathroom getting ready for bed the other night, my oldest son noticed a new box in the cabinet.
"Mom? What does t-a-m-p-o-n-s spell?"
I continued brushing his brother's teeth and said, casually, "It spells tampons." I fervently hoped that he would let it go at that.
Of course, he didn't. "What are tampons?"
At this point, my 4-year-old was looking at me, awaiting my response as well.
I had no idea what to say. The explanation I could give my almost 7-year-old is not the same explanation I'd give my 4-year-old. And while I'm all for being honest and truthful with your kids when they ask questions about this kind of stuff, I was completely stumbling for what to say.
My response ended up being something along the lines of "It's something that girls need sometimes when they get older. Now finish brushing your teeth. And don't forget to go to the bathroom."
That non-answer seemed to satisfy his curiosity, and forcing him to continue to brush his teeth effectively ended any opportunity he had to ask any further questions. By the time he was done, he'd forgotten all about it and was busy arguing with his brother over mouthwash.
I really need to formulate some more acceptable responses to these types of situations. He's definitely getting to the age where he's going to ask some serious questions, and giving him vague answers isn't going to cut it.
Have you been down this road already? How did you handle it? More importantly, how did your kids handle it?

saint seiya - 3 judges by spoonybardsWatch
©2012-2016 spoonybards
Haven't used OC watercolor brush in dayssss, so I had fun reorienting myself with it here
I like the mood very much. It's just as if you had done this work as an illustration for a children's book. I also believe the moon in the background is a very nice detail, you know. I had seen this kind of moon depicted in other artworks, but not partially. If I ever saw a partially drawn moon, it wasn't like this, where you have covered half the shape. It looks really nice. And the characters look very likeable. I particularly like Minos: that simple smile, that eyeless face! He looks funny and I like that on him. BTW, that's the kind of details that let's you know he was taken out of the original show XD
Great work! Thank you very much for sharing it!
Great work! Thank you very much for sharing it!

Oh my, Rhada! Aiacos! Wonderful wonderful shading! Awesome picture, and such great colouring too!

(and that third dude I couldn't care less about, he's also there)
aaaahhhh you did this with the watercolor brush

Hell judges, with expressions representing their personalities.
So badass!
art so hot,, hot hot art,, art so hot i nearly fart
Really great. ^^
I love Minos, his pose screams "I get all the bitches"

I've been renting my own places for four years now, and have gone without it. It seemed like a good thing to have, but not something to prioritize as a working (sometimes struggling) artist.

After putting up with two rounds of pigeon babies being born and raised because I had a heart or something, enough is enough. My cat chirps at them, and if they see her, they fly away — but then they come right back. I bought a plastic owl with a rotating head, but unless I move it around the balcony every day, they get wise to it and ignore it. Am I doomed to this owl-repositioning fate forever? Or are there other options? Help! There's so much poop!

I can't say it better than the boilerplate provided by Planned Parenthood…
I'm disappointed Susan G. Komen let anti-choice groups pressure them into ending funding for lifesaving breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood health centers. Women's lives can't afford to be caught up in political battles. I stand with PP and hope you will too.
Give to the Planned Parenthood Breast Health Fund right now and Mayor Mike Bloomberg will match your gift.
[UPDATE: This morning, Susan G. Komen for the Cure issued a statement in which they apologized and said, "We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities." As has been pointed out, though, this "Komen's statement that Planned Parenthood will be 'eligible' for new grants is a new development, but it commits Komen to nothing." In this case, we might view this as "a PR move, not a policy reversal." So keep pressure on Susan G. Komen for the Cure, everybody!]

Best Chinese Restaurant (2009)
Chinese Halal Cuisine
Chinese Uyghurs in the far western Xinjiang province were much in the news this year. So we are venturing beyond the usual Hong Kong, Hunan and Sichuan recommendations in favor of Chinese Halal Cuisine on Bellaire. Uyghur fare, with its strong cumin aromas and extensive use of lamb, borrows from the Muslim recipes of neighboring Mongolia, Russia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The halal version of Chinese food has become enormously popular on the Indian subcontinent. In fact, the Indian and Pakistani version of halal Chinese food is better known in most of the world than the Chinese original. Chinese Halal Cuisine on Bellaire is the first authentically Chinese halal restaurant in Houston. Try the black fungus salad and the Xin Jiang Special Lamb. Try the lamb hearts, livers and kidneys, if you dare — the Chinese version of halal food is a little wilder than the version from Bombay we are used to getting in Houston.

1 Corinthians 11:3-12English Standard Version (ESV)
3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife[a] is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife[b] who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.[c] 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.

Bubba Watson's Watch Worth a Half a Million Dollars and Tiger in a Backless Versace
Bubba Watson yesterday sported a watch designed by Richard Mille, worth $525,000!
It has been reported that Bubba splashed out for the timepiece but we think its a lot more likely to be a PR stunt by the the same company that made the Rafa Nadal French Open $500,000 watch.
It hardly seems likely that the wholesome God fearing man who couldn't afford range balls as a kid would indulge himself like this. Doesn't that break a few commandments?
What next? Luke Donald wearing diamond earrings or Tiger Woods in a backless Versace number!

Exciting news! I'm looking for my next career opportunity. I'm finishing up a temporary freelance contract that runs through May 19th. So as Wednesday, May 20th, you can have me working as part of your content team!
I am a Digital Content Strategist specializing in SEO Copywriting, Public Relations and Social Media Marketing. I've also managed TONS of freelance writers found through eLance, ODesk, CopyPress and Text Broker. Some of my previous job titles have included:
- Content Engineer
- Content Manager
- Digital Content Manager
- SEO Copywriter
- Digital Copywriter
- Digital Content Strategist
Although freelancing is super cool, I would REALLY like to find a full time, in-house position for a marketing company, advertising agency or for the corporate headquarters of a retail company. But another awesome freelance contract, like the assignment I'm finishing up, is also an option.
I have over 10 years experience writing and marketing content including:
- Landing pages
- Blog articles
- Infographics
- Press releases
- E-mail newsletters
- E-mail blasts
- Scripts for training manuals and Power Point presentations
- Social media posts
In my free time, I blog about my hobbies and interests on The Creative Cottage. The Creative Cottage came into existence on February 24th, 2015. I started it as a way to consolidate my separate hobby blogs. I used to write content for six different Diva themed blogs. As you can imagine, keeping up-to-date writing fresh content for each site started to become a chore (it was supposed to be a hobby, not another full time job). The blogs got ignored for the most part, poor blogs. So I finally bit the bullet and signed up for my own WordPress.org website. As a freelance SEO content writer, I have been writing content for my client's WordPress pages and posts for many years. But I was using another blog hosting service for my personal hobby sites. Until now!!!
The Creative Cottage topics include:
I have experience with both Windows and Mac PC operating systems and I have basic HTML knowledge, so if Russian teenagers have hacked into your site, I can probably help you get rid of the links they added to XXX sites (that's a REALexample of a problem I fixed for one of my former clients)! The programs I've used to complete my duties include:
- MS Word
- MS Excel
- MS PowerPoint
- Google DOCS
- Photoshop
- MailChimp - newsletters
- Constant Contact - newsletters
- PRWeb - press releases
- PR Newswire - press releases
- HootSuite - social media management
- Google Group Camp - project management
- Asana - project management
- Drop Task - project management
- Drop Box - file storage in the cloud
- Wordpress.org - CMS used for both blog articles and web pages.
- Magento - e-commerce product descriptions
- Shopify - e-commerce product descriptions
I typically use HootSuite to manage all social media accounts including:
- Google+
- YouTube
I've written content for a variety of B2B and B2C clients over the years including:
- Ad agency specializing in marketing for healthcare providers and hospitals
- Online medical spa directory
- Producer of educational cable TV shows
- Various companies specializing in sustainable energy and other environmental topics.
- 3 Marketing agencies where I worked on projects for 10+ clients at a time - restaurants, geriatric care, e-cigs, celebrity haircare, golf course, fishing charters, computer software, interior designers, dentists, etc
- Retail eyeglass chain with 40+ stores nationwide
- Company specializing in content for online travel sites (airlines, resort hotels, cruise ships)
- Estheticians including plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, cosmetic dentistry and med spas.

AKRON, Ohio
Lockheed Martin said on Tuesday that it has gotten a $142 million U.S. Army contract to make more Persistent Threat Detection Systems, tethered balloons with surveillance gear aimed at detecting roadside bombs.
Lockheed Martin said the Army has been using the system since 2004. The helium-filled balloons can stay airborne for weeks at a time.
Lockheed Martin said final terms are still being negotiated.
The order is in addition to another Army order for the system in the past six months, the company said.
Most of the work will be done in Akron, Ohio, with other work done in Cape Canaveral, Fla.; Moorestown, N.J.; and Owego, N.Y.
Lockheed Martin shares fell 5 cents to $76.27 in morning trading.

For Urban Wastelands, Tomatoes and Other Life
Published: March 3, 1998
(Page 3 of 3)
Like Massachusetts and Ohio, Connecticut also has a new licensing system for private environmental specialists who monitor and certify industrial cleanups. Their work can be audited and there are substantial penalties for cheating, said Michael Freimuth, the director of planning and economic development in Bridgeport.
The biggest benefit of the new state programs, Mr. Freimuth said, is that companies seeking to build in long-suffering downtowns can finally undertake what has always been a given in real estate -- a straightforward weighing of risks and rewards.
''Risk is the foundation of investment,'' Mr. Freimuth said. ''We've finally been able to put some risk analysis back into the mathematics of brownfields. Without that, we were in a perpetual Never Neverland.''
Careful Planning And Creativity Sought
No one involved in rehabilitating old urban sites expects all the scars of a century of heavy industry to be erased. And market forces alone cannot do the job, said Alan Mallach, the director of housing and development for Trenton.
The shape of a city will still best be determined through careful planning and creative problem solving, he said. He cited a recent challenge faced in Trenton, which in 1995 lost its biggest employer, Hill Refrigeration, when the company moved to Virginia and sold its 24-acre plant site.
In a negotiated deal with the owners of the property, Trenton received $200,000 toward a cleanup, subdivided the land and found seven new tenants, including a Canadian company that builds refrigeration equipment.
''They came here specifically because we had this great trained work force,'' Mr. Mallach said.
In Buffalo, city officials decided to pay part of the costs of digging out the oil-soaked dirt at the old steel mill site, clearing the way for workers to erect the glass panels of the high-technology greenhouse last fall. The tomatoes are isolated from any possible remaining contamination, with their roots growing in bricks of synthetic, wool-like fibers, not in the dirt.
The benefits of that investment quickly became apparent, said Alan H. DeLisle, the president of the Buffalo Enterprise Development Corporation, which owns the land and leases it to the vegetable growers.
''The first day of job interviews, they had 700 people lined up for 175 jobs,'' Mr. DeLisle said.
Inside the sprawling greenhouse, shielded from the cold rain of a blustery late winter day, workers in shorts and T-shirts tended the fast-growing vines.
Richard Hughes, a 55-year-old security guard at the 18-acre complex, Village Farms of Buffalo, said he had spent 17 years working just up the road at the Shenango Steel mill, which closed in 1982. As he surveyed the still-vacant lots around the greenhouse, he marveled at his new work place, with its drip-irrigated plants and polished panels of greenish glass.
''I grew up a little kid over there on Oak Street,'' he said, pointing toward downtown, past the windswept spaces where steel furnaces once roared and glowed. ''Never thought I'd see a greenhouse in Buffalo. But here it is. It's new blood for an old man.''

(If you are having conscious sedation you must have an adult to accompany you home and stay with you for 24 hours following sedation).
Vacuum aspiration uses gentle suction to remove the pregnancy and takes about 5-10 minutes from start to finish. Afterwards, you will need to rest in the recovery area for about 30-60 minutes. This treatment can usually be done up to 14 weeks of pregnancy.
When you arrive, a healthcare professional will talk with you and answer your questions.
You will take pain tablets if you have not taken any before coming to the clinic. You will then be shown into a treatment area. You will be asked to lie on a treatment couch with support for your legs. A healthcare professional will stay with you to provide support and comfort, in addition to monitoring you throughout.
The doctor will examine your uterus (womb) and a speculum will be inserted into your vagina. The doctor will then inject a numbing medication into or near your cervix (neck of the womb) and, if needed, gently open the cervix using thin rods called dilators. A tube is then inserted through the cervix into the uterus. Either a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties your uterus. You will feel cramping, similar to period pains, during the procedure.
In some clinics, where space allows, your partner can stay with you throughout this treatment

Actress Christie Lynn Smith Welcomes New BabySunny Chanel
Actress Christie Lynn Smith and husband John Forston had quite a wonderful Christmas present, they had another baby! Their son joins their 4-year-old daughter Abby.
"Santa was really good to us this year! Our son, Joshua Taylor Fortson, was born Saturday, December 22 at 2:07 pm. at Providence St. Josephs Hospital in Burbank," the actress told Celebrity Baby Scoop. "He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and was 20 inches long."
The TV actress gave more details to Celebrity Baby Scoop:
"He has beautiful blue eyes, a button nose and the sweetest lips and the softest brown hair. I'm in love with this little guy," she gushes. "We are both doing great! And my husband and I are thrilled with our little one's arrival. We came home from the hospital on Christmas Eve. My parents had just flown in the night I went into labor. Perfect timing! They were and continue to be such a great help. The holidays are about families coming together and so it's special that my family was here to celebrate and welcome Joshua to the world."
"Abby was excited," the General Hospital star said of their 4-year-old daughter. "She's been talking and singing to my tummy during my pregnancy. She kept saying, When am I going to meet my baby brother?' We really have made a celebration about her being a big sister and included her in helping out as much as possible. I think the transition is going smoothly. When she saw Joshua for the first time, she looked so sweet, like she was going to cry out of happiness. He's so cute!' she said. She keeps calling herself sister' and enjoys giving him skin to skin tummy time on our bed in the morning."

We characterise the property that is an open map in terms of two properties of its adjoint map . These results are used to show that if is an open subset of for which there is a linear constant coefficient differential operator such that is -convex but not strongly -convex, then (i) is not fully complete, (ii) the range of the adjoint map is closed but not bornological.

Dr. Fatoumata Nafo-Traore, Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Programme of the World Health Organisation
By Patrick Ugeh in Abuja
Malaria deaths in Africa have gone down by one-third in the last 13 years since the year 2000 when Africa's leaders meeting in Abuja committed to slashing malaria deaths and cases.
This was announced saturday by Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Programme of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr. Fatoumata Nafo-Traore, at the ongoing special African Union (AU) Summit on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Abuja.
This came as the United Nations unfolded a new strategy to stop new HIV infections, saying about $ 2.4 billion would be required to attain coverage and treatment by 2015.
On malaria reduction, Nafo-Traore said more than a million lives have been saved from malaria since year 2000, most of them among African children under 5 years of age.
She added at the conference known as Abuja+12 Special Summit, that 44 African nations had recorded over 50 percent reductions in malaria cases over the past decade.
"Few other public health initiatives can boast such a significant achievement," Nafo-Traore stated. "But we cannot rest on our laurels. African countries continue to face many challenges, both financial and technical. To make rapid progress towards the 2015 malaria targets, we need to hit our enemy hard in its strongholds in sub-Saharan Africa while keeping up the fight elsewhere on the continent."
She stated that with Africa in the driver's seat and a massive increase in financial and technical support, progress over the past years had been stunning.
According to her, the Roll Back Malaria partners will keep doing all they can to support the African nations at every step of the way. "The presentations you will hear today will provide guidance that we hope will strengthen your national malaria control efforts.
"You will also hear an important technical update on larval source management, an issue which has been of great interest to many among you," she told stakeholders from around Africa and the world. She went on: "I know that malaria control is one issue among many that are begging your attention. But addressing it now is key to achieving important health and development targets.
"Malaria control in Africa has revealed itself to be a quick-win strategy for reaching multiple MDGs related to improving maternal and child health and driving down poverty. Each dollar invested in malaria control yields forty dollars to the economy. No other social investment gives a better rate of return.
"This is why the malaria fight should stay on the radar of Africa's leaders until the job is finished and Africa is free from a preventable and treatable disease that should not take a single life," she said.
Meanwhile, a new strategy aimed at achieving zero new infections of HIV, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths was yesterday unfolded by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).
As an important step towards getting to zero AIDS-related deaths, the body said countries should be encouraged to prioritise immediate efforts to ensure that all people eligible for HIV treatment have access to it.
The report stated that to reach the targeted 80 per cent coverage by 2015 using the new 2013 WHO treatment guidelines and criteria, the world would require additional US$2.2- 2.4 billion on top of the treatment costs estimated in the 2010 guidelines.
"This expenditure will be money well spent as previous analyses have demonstrated that treatment is both cost-effective and potentially cost-saving over time," the report stated.
It added that Treatment 2015 offers countries and partners both practical and innovative ways of increasing the number of people accessing treatment, which will allow people to live longer and healthier lives and prevent new infections.
Speaking on the benefits of rapidly scaling up antiretroviral therapy, the intervention says scaling up antiretroviral therapy preserves and strengthens the health and well being of the adolescents and working age adults.
"Investing in HIV treatment generates economic returns up to three times the investment, increasing productivity, preventing children from becoming orphaned and deferred the health care costs associated with advanced HIV related illnesses," the report said.
In a joint statement in Abuja, the WHO, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), the United States Global AIDS Coordinator and the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) stressed the need to be united in the HIV/AIDS fight from now on.
"For the first time since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, we have an historic opportunity to lay the groundwork to achieve zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths," the partners said. "One of the clearest lessons in global health is that victory can only be achieved through active partnership.
"For us to win, it is essential that we move together to support countries to achieve their goals. Getting to zero requires commitment, innovation, sound science, and community-centered strategies. A determination to embrace and respect human rights is critical if we are to reach those most vulnerable to HIV infection."
Noting that they now had the tools to achieve universal access to HIV testing and treatment, they emphasised the need to unite around the principle that every person who needs HIV treatment should receive it.
"By strategically focusing HIV treatment and other proven prevention tools on the key geographic settings and populations where rates of transmission and unmet need for HIV services are high, we can significantly bend downward the rate of new infections.
"Treatment 2015 provides a results-driven framework to expedite and greatly expand coverage. With less than 1000 days before the end of 2015, much work remains to be done. The WHO's new 2013 guidelines on the use of antiretroviral drugs, ARDs, for treating and preventing HIV infection recommend a CD4 threshold of 500 for initiation of HIV treatment," the partners said. The statement on the new strategy was signed by Margaret Chan, Director General World Health Organization (WHO), Mark Dybul, Executive Director, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Eric Goosby, Ambassador, United States Global AIDS Coordinator, Michel Sidibe, Executive Director, UNAIDS.
"The rapidly evolving evidence base for HIV testing and HIV treatment raise a number of technical issues," they said. "Yet the most important factor of all is the commitment we each bring to the AIDS response. To end the AIDS epidemic, we must work together. Only through partnership, beginning with the leadership of the countries burdened by HIV and supported by the collective determination of all stakeholders, can reach our common goal."
With approximately 1000 days left to reach the global target of 15 million people with anti-retrovial therapy by 2015, the report reveals that in some developing countries, the foundations for ending the AIDS epidemic are being established by scaling up HIV treatment combined with expanding access to other essential programmatic activities.
It added that at the end of 2012, 9.7 million people accessed antiretroviral therapy in resource limited setting.
The Treatment 2015 advocates three fundamental pillars which include Demand, Invest and Deliver ; Demand which involves creating demand for HIV treatment, led by people living with HIV and those affected by HIV, which should be sustained by civil society and the international community.
The Treatment 2015 looks at new ways of handling HIV testing and treatment rather than expecting people to adapt themselves to complicated service systems.

Teaching Philosophy
As a teacher of art in a liberal arts context it is my goal to help students develop, through direct experiences in art, a set of skills, sensibilities, and understandings that enhance their ability to create meaning. It is also my intention to promote behaviors basic to the creative problem solving process, including an ability to focus, a tolerance of uncertainty, an appreciation of complexity, a spirit of experimentation, and courage to take their own thoughts, intuitions and solutions seriously.
Visual art is a mode of communication that takes many forms, is utilized for many diverse reasons and is present in a variety of contexts. It can be a means of knowing and of understanding the world in all of its splendor as well as its depravity. It is a realm in which human intellect and emotion are equally and,ideally, reciprocally engaged. Akin to verbal language, yet unique in form and transmission, the visual arts can be used to record, to decorate, to inform, to conceptualize, to inspire, to lament, to manipulate, and to provide catharsis. As an art educator it is my charge to facilitate the development of students artistic literacy, promoting their own abilities to express a broad range of ideas through visual art as well as their ability to interpret the expressions of others.
I have been teaching at the University of the Pacific since 1987. It has been a fabulous place to grow as a teacher, an artist, and a member of the university community. I have benefited tremendously from the intellectual and artistic stimulation of my colleagues and students. While not a native of California, it is definitely my artistic home. I derive great inspiration from the fertile landscape and the produce of our region.
With the encouragement of department colleagues, I joined the resurgent Plein-Air painting movement in 2000. The multi-sensory experience of painting outdoors, the smell of dry grass, the feel of warm breezes, the variety of birds' songs inspire me to create paintings in celebration of the land. This work has led to commissions for large-scale public paintings(created in the studio) as well as opportunities to travel to many parts of the United States to paint and exhibit with fellow artists.

Don Feder of the World Congress of Families greeted Ted Cruz's presidential campaign announcement at Liberty University by arguing that while "there will never be another" Ronald Reagan, Cruz comes pretty close.
Just like Cruz, Feder said in his column yesterday, Reagan too "alienated the Republican establishment" and had been labeled as "too extreme" and "too flamboyant" by naysayers who believed he had "absolutely no chance of becoming president."
Feder said that Cruz picked up the baton from Reagan by declaring his bid at Liberty University, citing Reagan's ties with Liberty-founder Jerry Falwell and his support for the Religious Right movement.
"Ronald Reagan was unique; there will never be another like him," Feder said. "But like Reagan, Cruz understands the power of an army of passionate idealists — people who aren't moved by marginal tax rates or the profit margin of the Fortune 500, but by family, faith and freedom."
Cruz is a throwback to another presidential contender – one who was also "too extreme," alienated the Republican establishment, was too flamboyant (appeared in Technicolor in a monochrome field) and, the pundits assured us, had absolutely no chance of becoming president.
Much has been made of Cruz's choice of a venue to launch his presidential campaign – Liberty University (founded by "televangelist" Jerry Falwell, the media elite sneered) – and his faith-based message. "God's blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation, and I believe God isn't done with America yet."
Cruz told the students of this Christian university: "I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America."
On August 21, 1980, Ronald Reagan addressed 15,000 conservative Christians in Dallas. As church leaders, "I know you can't endorse me," Reagan famously told them. "But I want you to know that I endorse you and what you are doing." Among them was Jerry Falwell.
Reagan said the Bible held the answers to all of America's problems of the day and that if we would only return to that "old-time religion," we could realize the dream of a shining "city on a hill."
Ronald Reagan was unique; there will never be another like him. But like Reagan, Cruz understands the power of an army of passionate idealists – people who aren't moved by marginal tax rates or the profit margin of the Fortune 500, but by family, faith and freedom.

What a gorgeous photo – and contrast – this one would have been without the old building there. It would have opened up the skyline beautifully, and highlighted the contrast with the trees. Still, the old giving way to the new is portrayed here nicely – and I'm glad it will continue!
Morning Linda:
Nice review of the snapshot. Thank you. Will take heed. There are more to come, only they will be on color. Plan to travel to the countryside when possible. Wallet is still thin. Will have to wait some.
City can suffocate you with so much construction going on, air pollution, and noise, Need some fresh air and ample room.
Starting to rain. Not much.

Florence: City of Art
In the birthplace of the Renaissance, we look into the eyes of Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Venus, learn tricks for touring the Uffizi art gallery, and climb the dome that kicked off the Renaissance-to discover how it was built. Then we delve into the Florentine good life: visiting a fragrant 400-year-old perfumery, sipping Campari on a rooftop, chasing the sunset on a Vespa, and sleeping serenely in a converted monastery.
Watch this episode of "Rick Steves' Europe" and read our Florence travel guide.

The 2009 Altagracia is a rich, textured wine layered with perfumed red fruit. Ripe, silky tannins frame the long, exceptional finish. The 2009 impresses for its breadth and volume, all while maintaining a very classic profile. The delineation of the 2008 is missing, but in exchange readers will find a soft, supple wine loaded with class. In 2009 the blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 6% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
(66% cabernet sauvignon, 10% each merlot and petit verdot, 8% cabernet franc and 6% malbec): Ruby-red. Cassis, blueberry, licorice and violet on the nose, with hints of dusty earth and leather. Lush and plump in the mouth, with a slightly medicinal character to the savory dark berry and mocha flavors. I'd peg this right between Old World and New. Nicely integrated acidity and broad, dusty tannins energize the persistent chocolatey finish. Very harmonious for this second wine.
This Bordeaux blend is the second wine from Araujo's Eisele Vineyard is still a rare treat in its own right. Most often sourced from younger vines, Altagracia is a blend that Araujo feels still deserves a special designation and carries a distinction of fruit that is ready to drink at a younger age than the Eisele Vineyard. Altagracia is harvested and vinified in every manner just the same as the first wine.
