Artist & Connection Information
Interested in Volunteering!? Visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/56SLMBD We are interested in any art work that is well-crafted and possesses vitality. We are interested in artists whose work is able to convey something of their own personality, something of their heart and mind, some sense of the community, broadly defined, within which they work. The exhibition space, indoor and out, lends itself to contemplative viewing; we will thus look for art works that we believe can contribute to that type of ambience. Except in rare instances, we will not consider art works that have not yet been made. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the indoor space provide lovely natural light.

That's precisely the scenario playing out in downtown Miami, where a lengthy -- and costly -- real estate project aimed at rejuvenating the local economy has stalled, thanks to the results of a mandated archeological inspection.
As the MDM Development Group was constructing the last part of the phased, $1 billion Metropolitan Miami multipurpose project, archeologists hired by the group discovered a 2,000-year-old native American village once inhabited by the extinct Tequesta people. "It probably is the first settlement in Miami," Gerald Marston of Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HERB) told The Wall Street Journal.
Since the site, which was long a parking lot, is part of a designated archeological area, MDM had to hire archeologists to inspect the cleared space before building. The Archaeological and Historical Conservancy Inc. inspection has been going on for months, at a cost to MDM of more than $3 million, according to WFOR-TV in Miami.
Many artifacts have been retrieved from the land, which also happens to have been the site of the iconic Royal Palm hotel. A key finding has been eight large postholes. Now that an entire village has been unearthed, the archeologists are clear on its value. "It would be ideal for Miami to have this part of its history preserved," field director Ryan Franklin of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy told WFOR-TV.
Preserving the remains of this town will most likely be a fight, starting with a meeting between the HERB and MDM next week. It's likely the case will ultimately be ruled on by the city, which could force MDM to sell back the land to the municipality -- or not.
There is a precedent here. Back in 1999, Michael Baumann hit an archeological snag while building luxury condos on a 2.2-acre site in downtown Miami at the confluence of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. After legal battles and a public outcry against building on the site, the city (with an initial loan from the Trust for Public Land) paid Baumann $26.7 million in compensation for a property for which he initially paid $8 million. Miami Circle is now a park, and the precious structures there are sealed to protect them.
There are other precedents, too. Back in 1991, an enormous fight erupted over a New York burial ground holding remains of Africans enslaved in the 1600s. The US General Services Administration now puts a grand face on a vigorous controversy that was resolved only when Congress stepped in to halt development and help declare New York City's African Burial Ground a national monument.
My efforts to contact MDM and the archeologists involved in the excavation have gone unanswered. But Bob Carr of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy says he'll get back to me when he can to answer some questions.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see how the conflict plays out. "This is why archaeology is conducted on projects," architect and planner Barbara Campagna told me in an email. "If resources like this are found, a mitigation plan will have to be developed. And this looks like it will be quite a battle."
One thing: MDM knew it was building on a site filled with remains. In my view, that put it at risk from the start. Clearly, the developer was willing to bank on the notion that nobody would care what was found on the site. It will now have to make good on the chance it took.

The Athletics evened their record to 2-2 after beating the Seattle Mariners, 3-2, on Coco Crisp's first career walk-off home run in the 12th inning Thursday night at the O.co Coliseum in Oakland.
Seattle's 25-year old Cuban-born Roenis Elias made his MLB debut holding the Athletics hitless through 4 and 2/3 innings until Nick Punto singled down the left field line.
Sam Fuld followed with a line drive to center field that got under the glove of center fielder Abraham Almonte allowing Fuld to round the bases attempting an inside-the-park home run.
A great recovery and subsequent relay throw to catcher Mike Zunino nailed Fuld at the plate that temporarily preserved the Mariner, 2-1 lead.
Oakland tied the game in the eighth. After back-to-back walks to Coco Crisp and Josh Donaldson, Jed Lowrie grounded into a 4-6-3 double play that left Crisp on third base for Yoenis Cespedes' RBI game-tying triple.
Both bullpens held the teams scoreless until the 12th inning when Seattle's Hector Noesi's second pitch to Coco Crisp sailed over the right field wall for the Athletics' 3-2 extra-inning victory.
"I was just going up there to swing as hard as I could," Crisp said afterwards.
"With that approach, 9 times out of 10 you wind up with a strikeout, this time was the one time it worked out."
Oakland's Jesse Chavez pitched 6 innings allowing 5 hits and 2 runs before yielding to Fernando Abad, Sean Doolittle, Luke Gregerson and eventual winning pitcher, Drew Pomeranz.
The A's and Mariners play again Friday night with Oakland's Dan Straily facing Chris Young at 7:05 p.m.
Tommy Milone goes Saturday (1:05 p.m.) against Felix Hernandez and Sonny Gray will pitch the finale against Erasmo Ramirez on Sunday (1:05 p.m).

Motion in interface is programmed performance. I'm studying motion in order to understand and use it as a component in the design of digital interfaces. My research explores motion from several perspectives with the goal of understanding fundamental qualities of motion, building a taxonomy to describe motion used in the 2-dimensional, framed space of a screen. The resulting research, experimentation and documentation will define a language for motion in interface.

Thai army arrest PM Yingluck
Former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is reportedly detained by Thailand's military rulers.PT0M0S 620 349
Bangkok: Thailand's army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha appointed himself acting prime minister and summoned 114 prominent political figures to a meeting, a day after seizing power in a bloodless coup that has sparked an international outcry.
Thailand's military government detained former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and members of her family after summoning her and other ministers for talks on Friday.
"We have detained Yingluck, her sister and brother-in-law," a senior military officer said. The two relatives have held top political posts.

"We will do so for not more than week, that would be too long. We just need to organise matters in the country first," said the officer, who declined to say where Yingluck was being held.
Also summoned were key members of Ms Yingluck's ousted Pheu Thai party, officials of the opposition Democrat party and former high-ranking soldiers and police with political affiliations.
The army said if they failed to turn up they would be arrested.

A further 155 people have been put on a list preventing them leaving the country, including Ms Yingluck.
Ms Yingluck's Red Shirt supporters in north and north-eastern strongholds have vowed to retaliate over the coup late on Thursday which General Prayuth declared was to restore stability and normality and stop violence that has left 29 people dead and hundreds injured since last November.
Ms Yingluck's replacement for a brief three weeks, Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan, surrendered on Friday morning at a heavily guarded army building, dispelling rumours circulating in social media that he was planning to announce a parallel government.

General Prayuth, 60, moved swiftly to censor the media, suspend the 2007 constitution, ban gatherings of more than five people, impose a nationwide 10pm-to-5am curfew and detain key political leaders from rival groups in Thailand's 19th coup or attempted coup since the 1930s.
Thai media reported that he implemented the coup moments after government representatives at a meeting he called refused his demand to resign en masse.
Orders by the junta are being read several times over radio and television stations which are otherwise blacked out, under military control, playing only traditional music.

One order prohibits the media from interviewing former government officials, academics, judges or other members of independent organisations "in a way that may create conflict or confusion among the public".
Despite the coup, Bangkok's 10 million residents appeared to be going about their normal business, although schools were ordered closed.
Public transport was running after the curfew ended and early traffic was light, but cars were moving slowly on some roads into the capital because of army checkpoints.

Several small groups of anti-coup protesters appeared in several locations in Bangkok, defying the order not to gather.
Troops have dispersed anti-government and pro-government protest camps in different parts of Bangkok, leaving the city free of protesters for the first time in six months.
However countries around the world have condemned the takeover. US Secretary of State John Kerry said there was "no justification" for a coup that would have "negative implications" for relations with one of the US's closest allies in Asia.

He called for "early elections that reflect the will of the people" while the Pentagon said it was reviewing co-operation with Thailand's military.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said she was "gravely concerned".
"We are monitoring it closely but people need to pay close attention to their personal security and their travel plans," she said.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon was "seriously concerned", his spokesman said, and urged "constitutional, civilian and democratic rule".
General Prayuth called foreign ambassadors, military attaches and representatives of international organisations to a briefing on Friday.
The briefing aimed to create understanding and maintain good relations with other countries, a junta statement said.
General Prayuth has made no mention of holding fresh elections or appointing an interim civilian administration.
The takeover comes at a time of deep anxiety in Thailand over the ailing 86-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
General Prayuth is believed to have met the king at the royal palace in Hua Hin, in the south of the country.
The conflict pits the country's majority rural poor against an urban-based elite in Bangkok.
At the heart of the crisis is Ms Yingluck's elder brother Thaksin Shinawatra, who lives in exile to avoid a jail sentence for corruption but still wields enormous influence over Thailand's political affairs.

An analysis of growth in pulse production in India with special reference to Maharashtra
Yadav D.B., Shinde H.R., Joshi G.G., Pagire B.V.
Department of Agricultural Economics, MPKV, Rahuri - 413 722, Maharashtra
The growth of pulse production in India and with special emphasis on Maharashtra, has been studied based on the secondary data for the span of 54 years since 1950–51. The area under total pulses has been found declining, however, due to improvement in productivity, there has been an increase in the production of pulses in the country since 1980–81. The area, production and productivity of major pulses in the state of Maharashtra have increased over a period of time. In Maharashtra, the western Maharashtra region has the maximum area (28.05%) under gram with the highest productivity (585 kg/ha), the Marathawada region has the highest area (26.23%) under balkgram and the Vidharbha region has highest area under pigeonpea (47.85%) and greengarm (30.46%). The productivity of gram has increased significantly at the rate of 1.86 per cent per annum since 1960 and the total pulse production has increased at the rate of 1.48 per cent per annum in the state. The percentage share of total pulses in the gross cropped area has declined at the national level by 29 per cent, while it has increased by 26 per cent in the state during the past 45 years. The percentage share of total pulses in agricultural exports has been declining while that of total pulses has been increasing, in recent years. Export of pulses from India has remained unstable as compared to their import since 1980–81. Per capita net availability of pulses in the country has declined drastically by 52 per cent during the past 54 years. The study has observed a need to increase the production of pulses by increasing area and productivity to meet their domestic demand and decrease the dependence on their imports.

My company is giving us the possibility to sign up for some offsite training classes on Design Patterns.
Browsing through the brochures, I'm already feeling bored (and somewhat repelled by the marketingy buzzwordy silverbulletty enterprisey managerese) - I already know the basics about design patterns (read the GoF book years ago, used a few as needed, read articles on the net, etc.). I'm worried that the training is going be mostly watching a powerpoint with stuff I mostly know, and arguing details over a UML diagram.
My programming experience is mostly in games, simple web development and mathy stuff, in Python, C++ or simple scripting languages; I never worked on anything "enterprisey", or in Java or .Net (for some reason, Java and .Net seems especially associated with Design Patterns), nor am I planning to in the forseeable future. I'm much more interesting in things like functional programming and Haskell and making micro domain-specific-languages to solve specific problems - I'm closer to the "hacker" culture (I'm mostly self-taught) than to the "enterprise" culture.
But maybe this is just me having too high of an opinion of myself and passing a good opportunity to learn useful stuff. Or being a snob and refusing to learn about different cultures.
So, how could I tell if a Design Patterns class is going to be useful? How you found such trainings useful? How you ever felt apprehensive about them?

It's a California invasion! If by "invasion" you mean "two".
Earlier this year, SoCal-based In-N-Out Burger confirmed rumors that they will be opening a new location in Garland. Now, Del Taco (headquartered in Orange County, CA) is following suit by breaking ground this month in North Texas. The OC Register's "Fast-Food Maven", Nancy Luna, reports that there may soon be as many as 80 restaurants in the DFW area. Luna quotes Del Taco CEO Paul Murphy as saying, "I think what Del Taco brings to the table [in Texas] is a unique spin on Mexican."
Some folks may remember that Del Taco once had locations in Texas, but pulled out of the state back in the 1970s. Those folks may also remember some good reasons the restaurant didn't fair well here. Perhaps, Texans just couldn't get used to the idea of French fries with their tacos.
Del Taco claims that all of their meals are, "made to order using fresh ingredients including freshly grated cheddar cheese, hand-made salsa, lard-free beans made from scratch and chicken grilled every hour." Additionally, they serve burgers, fries and shakes. Most locations remain open 24 hours per day. Saying, "It's like a Whataburger with Mexican food.", might be a fair conclusion to make. But it remains to be seen whether they will be popular enough with 21st Century Texans, to make that comparison stick.
According to the DelTaco.com, the first location will open in Denton this fall (2010), and the second in McKinney. And with 70-plus stores being proposed for DFW alone, at least one of those will be in Grand Prairie.

Baroque Duo Corde á vide to Open 2012-2013 Stieren Arts Enrichment Series at Trinity University
The Stieren Arts Enrichment Series brings a distinguished array of outstanding leaders in the fields of art, music, drama, communication, literature, art history, and aesthetics to the Trinity campus.
SAN ANTONIO - A game developer, a puppet theatre company, and a musical quintet, are among the guests coming to Trinity University as part of the 2012-2013 Stieren Arts Enrichment Series. This series brings to campus a distinguished array of outstanding leaders in the fields of art, music, drama, communication, literature, art history, and aesthetics. All events are free and open to the public; however, reservations will be required for Teatro del Drago's performance.
Baroque duo Corde à vide, featuring Jubal Fulks, violinist, and Lorna Peters, harpsichordist, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26, in the Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. They have presented concerts, master classes, and lectures across the United States, including New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles. Both active solo performers, Peters and Fulks joined forces in 2008 with the goal of presenting early music on period instruments. Their concert program reflects a balance of solo and duo repertoire that highlights the varying national styles of the 17th and 18th centuries. Peters and Fulks are professors at California State University and the University of Alabama, respectively, and both hold Doctor of Musical Arts from the State University of New York, Stony Brook.
David McDonough '06, will discuss "Design Re-Defined: The Digital Anvil" at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8, in the Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. McDonough is a game developer and lead designer for Firaxis Games, makers of the renowned Civilization franchise of PC strategy games, has contributed to the development of Firaxis' Civilization V, Civ World, and X-COM: Enemy Unknown titles, and as a systems designer to Big Huge Games' Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Teatro del Drago will present Pinocchio at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, and Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Stieren Theater. Based in Ravenna, Italy, Teatro del Drago is the puppet theatre company of the Monticelli Family, established in 1820 by Ariodante Monticelli. Today, brothers Mauro and Andrea represent the fifth generation in this unbroken family tradition. Teatro del Drago follows two distinct artistic directions: tradition and experimentation. The tradition that informs their art and craft is as ancient as that of the Roman theatre, the Italian puppet theatre, and Commedia dell'Arte. But Teatro del Drago is also at the forefront of experimentation with their ability to combine puppetry and shadow, text and physical performance, making Teatro del Drago a renowned theatre company in Italy and Europe.
"A Reading and Conversation with Mary Karr" is scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22, in the Great Hall of the Chapman Center. Acclaimed memoirist Mary Karr is often credited with sparking the explosion of the genre with her 1995 New York Times best seller The Liar's Club, which detailed her apocalyptic childhood in a swampy East Texas town. Karr's two subsequent memoirs, Cherry and Lit, explore a psychedelic adolescence and eventual conversion from "blackbelt sinner and lifelong agnostic" to sobriety and Catholicism. Karr is also a celebrated poet and the author of four collections: Abacus, The Devil's Tour, Viper Rum, and Sinners Welcome. Her work has been called both "devotedly irreverent" and "elegantly devastating." She is Jesse Truesdell Peck Professor of Literature at Syracuse University, and serves as the weekly poetry editor for the Washington Post.
Eternal Tango Quintet, a musical quintet, will perform at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 27, in the Ruth Taylor Hall. To celebrate the tango, Héctor Del Curto, world-renowned andoneónist and artistic director of the quintet, will be joined by Gustavo Casenave, pianist; Pedro Giraudo, bassist; Nick Danielson, violinist; and Jisoo Ok, cellist. Del Curto is also well-known for his spectacular Broadway show Forever Tango and the critically-acclaimed CD recording, Eternal Tango.
Rachael Z. DeLue, associate professor in art and archaeology at Princeton University, will present Arthur Dove's Meteorology at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 6, in the Chapman Center Auditorium.

HILO, Hawaii - The Tulane University men's basketball team is in action this week at the Big Island Invitational in Hilo, Hawaii, this week. The Green Wave opens action at 11:30 p.m. (CST) on Friday against the host, University of Hawaii-Hilo.
The Tulane game will be available live on WWL (870 AM) or WSMB (1350 AM). The broadcast is also available on the internet by visiting the official Tulane web page at www.TulaneGreenWave.com
Joining Tulane and Hilo in the tourney field are Oregon State, Montana State, Appalachian State, San Francisco, Long Beach State, and nationally-ranked Oklahoma.
Tulane has won its first two games of the year under first-year head coach Shawn Finney. He is just the seventh first-year coach to win his first two games at Tulane. Only three of those have opened their careers with three wins.
"This is a great opportunity for our team to play against top-level competition in a great environment," Finney said. "Hawaii-Hilo will be our first road test and I hope we can continue with our early success this week."
The Green Wave has relied on a pair of returning players to lead the attack thus far this season. Ledaryl Billingsley (Chicago, Ill.), the lone senior and the captain of the team, is averaging 17.5 points and 15.0 rebounds per game, while sophomore Brandon Spann (New Orleans, La.) leads the way with 21.5 points per game, while dishing out 5.5 assists per contest.
The supporting cast has been junior Linton Johnson (Chicago, Ill.), who has 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per outing, and sophomore Brandon Brown (Houma, Ill.) with 15.0 points and eight rebounds per game.
The key for the Wave in their hope for a third straight win will be their ability to control Hawaii-Hilo's backcourt, while dominating in the paint behind Billingsley. The Vulcans are a Division II team that competes in the Pacific West Conference and will be opening their season on Friday. They are hosting the ninth version of the Big Island Invitational. Junior Scott Prather, a 5-10 point guard, averaged 8.2 points per game last year while handing out 75 assists. Two guard Alan Thomas is a big-time scorer who averaged over 20 points per game last year, while Stanley Ibia averaged 8.9 points with 4.0 rebounds per contest. Coach Jew Law's inside game is young and inexperienced, while should allow Billingsley, as well as Johnson and Brown, to exert themselves.
If Tulane wins on Friday, the Wave will meet the winner of the Oklahoma-Montana State contest.at 9 p.m. (CST) on Saturday. With a loss, Tulane will battle the loser of that same game at 11:30 p.m. (CST) on Saturday.

Get off your horse and recycle that trashPosted by: Chris Hails in Movies, Uncategorized Add comments
How about this for a novel way to get people into recycling?
The triplepundit blog is covering the Going Green Film Festival which takes place in Beverly Hills, California in April 2010 and a particularly quirky approach to increase eco awareness amongst US audiences:
David Dibble, an LA-based filmmaker and his crew are re-enacting the wild, wild west. With an eco-conscious marshal. "It's a typical high-noon Clint Eastwood situation, where you've got a marshal and a bad guy's coming into town," Dibble said. But in this town, the outlaws recycle.
… watching iconic figures of the wild west recycling old guns, shells and cigars is sure to be memorable and puts the environment top of mind.

June 5, 2008
By Dan Zeiger, East Valley Tribune - A month ago, the Arizona State baseball team bus pulled up to Eck Stadium, where the Sun Devils were playing a road game against Wichita State.
As the players looked out their windows to marvel at the facility, which is one of the most impressive in college baseball, someone shouted, "Hey Brett and Ike, you should take your signing bonuses and buy this place."
It is one of many jokes the team has had with third baseman Brett Wallace and first baseman/pitcher Ike Davis, who today are projected to be chosen in the first round of major league baseball's amateur draft - and, as a result, become instant millionaires.
Catcher Petey Paramore will also not be strapped for cash. He is expected to be chosen in the second round, or perhaps among 16 compensatory "sandwich" picks that follow Round 1.
For every dollar the trio will collect in their immediate baseball futures, there seemingly is a fond memory of the three seasons that Wallace, Davis and Paramore have played in maroon and gold. Rarely in the history of the program has three's company been this elite.
"They have served the program, and the program has served them," coach Pat Murphy said. "It's a perfect match of three kids that, academically, are all on track and prepared to move on in baseball and life....
"They have not once been late, never been in any sort of trouble, never been an academic issue. Everyone in this program can take after them."
Through thick and thin, long trips to Pullman, Wash., and back again, the three have slugged tape-measure home runs, overcome injuries, laughed at one another's goofy quirks, won two Pac-10 titles and shared the joy of playing in the College World Series - as well as the crushing agony of losing there.
"It's kind of creepy how fast it's gone," Davis said. "It's been the fastest three years of my life."
There are still big games left to play, as the Sun Devils play Fresno State in a best-of-three super regional starting on Saturday at Packard Stadium. Their time as collegians, though, is growing shorter, and each day, each experience in Tempe has prepared them for what comes next.
"It's special," Paramore said. "You look out every day and see the names of those players on the outfield wall. I've got a long way to go before I can be mentioned in the same breath as those guys, but having a good career at ASU is a good start to being successful in pro ball, with the lessons I've learned."
When the three arrived in Tempe in 2006 as part of a recruiting class rated second in the nation, Davis was anointed the Friday night starting pitcher and designated hitter - a workload Murphy later acknowledged was too big - Paramore filled the shoes of Tuffy Gosewisch, one of ASU's most decorated catchers, and Wallace was being marveled as the slick hitter in a fullback's body.
At that time, Wallace, Davis and Paramore were among a group of six players living in three Tempe apartments situated next to each other. It is where Davis established his reputation as a jokester, on some mornings waking his teammates while wearing a large Afro-style wig.
"Ike keeps everyone loose, and Petey, as the team captain, reins them in a little bit," Wallace said. "Ike grabbed me the first day we were here, hugged me and said, 'Me and you are going to win a national championship.'
"I said, 'Yes, we are.'"
Wallace and Davis have a bet - the one drafted highest uses part of his seven-figure signing bonus to take the other on vacation. Davis is most likely to get a free trip, as Wallace is expected to be the first Devil selected, as early as the 12th pick.
Since the draft went to its current format in 1987, ASU has not had three players taken in the first round. It has had two chosen in 1992, '94 and '97. If Paramore is a "sandwich" pick, he would be classified as a supplemental first-round choice, as ex-ASU outfielder Travis Buck (to the Oakland Athletics with the 36th pick overall) was in 2005.
With three players drafted so high, would it be a disappointment if the Sun Devils do not get the national title that Wallace and Davis spoke of?
"To me, it's not about the result," Wallace said. "It's about how we play. If we play as well as we can, but someone knocks us off, it's not a failure. It's not the end of the world. If someone else is better, we have to walk away content in the knowledge that we gave everything we had."
And for Wallace, Davis and Paramore, everything has been a lot.

Throughout the Arizona Wildcat women's basketball season, freshman Candice Warthen will keep a weekly blog about life as a Pac-10 freshman. Check back for more updates from Candice!
Hello Wildcat Fans!
It's been difficult the last few games for us but we are still focused and working hard. Last week we played Cal and Stanford at home. Those two games start the second half of Pac-10 play for us. The Cal game was a good, we played well but not good enough to win. The same results with Stanford. We competed with them for 40 minutes and we never gave up. Stanford is just a great team. We have ASU at home on Sunday at 2 p.m. and we're excited to get back out there and battle. This game is on TV so we have another chance to prove ourselves and get better as a team. Make sure that you are watching!
Thanks for reading my blog! Go Cats!

"Proxy" began playing at the Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park movie theater here in Houston yesterday.
Esther (Alexia Rasmussen) is shown leaving her OB appointment at the beginning of "Proxy." She's two weeks away from delivery and seems miserable about it. As she's walking to the bus stop, Esther is struck in the back of the head as her assailant strikes her stomach without remorse while Esther is unconscious. Esther loses the baby and spirals into a world of depression because of it.
Esther starts going to a support group for people who have lost loved ones and are victims of terrible crimes. It's there that Esther connects with a woman named Melanie (Alexa Havins) who claims that her husband and child were killed by a drunk driver. Soon Esther is able to accept what has happened to her while finding comfort through her support group, but unfortunately she's relied on the wrong people while swerving down the road to recovery.
"Proxy" makes the mistake of making very specific connections amongst its characters and in its storyline yet sprinkles the world its created within its frames of celluloid with plot holes like some sort of crater-loving Johnny Appleseed. The common thread in the film only seems to be insane behavior with little to no explanation.
After Esther loses her baby, you're introduced to her lesbian lover Anika (Kristina Klebe) who is basically a complete knockoff of Lisbeth Salander from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Anika is covered in tattoos and a complete freak in the bedroom. This is something the film points out on more than one occasion. Anika is incredibly vindictive through and through. She enjoys Esther's company because of her craziness.
Meanwhile Melanie's husband Patrick (Joe Swanberg) is not a good father. He's more infatuated with trying to come off as the "cool dad" than anything else. The Patrick character goes through some really funky stuff in the film. Something tragic happens to him and Melanie that affects them both. Melanie begins edging back into society while Patrick kind of retreats internally and resorts to brooding. The character begins having delusions that mostly revolve around torture. The way they haphazardly leave a shotgun lying around makes you wonder why tragedy didn't strike them sooner.
If you dig a little and stretch what little substance is there, "Proxy" attempts to say something about people dealing with the grief of losing someone close to them, how the loss affects them, and overcoming what seems like crippling depression. But the film seems to illustrate that everyone under those conditions gives in to wrath and revenge especially when it comes to the Patrick and Anika characters.
But none of the characters feel genuine. None of their actions seem like logical, real-life conclusions. The film is very slow-moving and bogged down from uneventful and long strings of dialogue. While "Proxy" is listed as a horror, it's not scary. The scariest part is getting through the entire thing. The film's highlight is a slow-motion shotgun blast sequence in a bathroom, but even that is laughably bad thanks to how thick and jelly-like the blood appears. "Proxy" only seems to illustrate that stupid, insane behavior is spread by proxy and everyone suffers, including the film's audience, because of it.

Almost everyone experiences some financial problems during their adult life. Just a short time without a job, losing a spouse's income, taking on too much debt, depleting savings during an illness or even starting a family could be the trigger that makes paying bills on time almost impossible. If you're struggling with debt, we're here to help!
If you're not sure whether or not you would benefit from professional credit and debt counseling, take this brief self evaluation.
If you answered "yes" to one or two of these debt evaluation questions, a call to a GreenPath counselor now could help you avoid major financial difficulties in the future.
Look for patterns and be aware. If it is something temporary, don't panic. If it is more serious, be honest with yourself and seek financial advice. A financial counselor can provide a thorough analysis of your family's personal finances which will help you assess how much trouble you're in and how much help you need. For many people, a financial counselor can help them get organized and lend support. For members that need more personal assistance a Debt Management Program can help.
As an ACMG member, you can take advantage of the GreenPath program, a free financial education and counseling program. GreenPath counselors are available Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (EST), Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. To use this new service, simply call 1-877-337-3399 or visit them on the web at www.greenpathref.com.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The View From Mrs. Sundberg's Window
Grief and Novocain
November 19, 2007
Listened to the show Saturday and it was not bad. It was radically not bad, to be honest. I found myself cleaning the pantry this time around, radio plugged in and door shut and all. I didn't want to miss the show for a moment, despite the kids' hollering for me to come watch them do jumps on the rollerblade ramp they built out in the driveway. It'll have to wait, I told 'em. I was still feeling a bit raw from Dolores' passing, so when they sang "I'll Fly Away" on the show I had to stop dusting and rest a minute on the old milk stool I inherited after Uncle Ray died. Funny thing about grief. You think you've got a grip on things and then you smell lilacs or hear a song or see how light comes down through the clouds and you come undone all over again.
I'm not sure grief is what Friday's episode was all about. I'd had that appointment on my calendar for months. Three hours at the dentist, six new crowns, front and center. Not an emergency thing, or cosmetic, or even really necessary. But important. When a person begins to hide her smile, it's time to get down to business with the teeth.
So there I was, bibbed and reclined, enough Novocain in my face to bring a galloping horse to a standstill. I don't have much of a problem with the whole dental experience. My dentist is kind enough to let me bring in my own ceiling pictures, so this week I chose Norman Rockwell's "Freedom from Want" and a photo of the holiday cheese display at my grocery store and a photo of a lake somewhere in Canada at sunset.
As the dentist began the second half hour of drilling, I focused on the cheese and thought about a series of colorized black and whites of the domestic ordinary. Mr. Sundberg will think I'm crazy, of course, but I've had it in me lately to help my fellow grocery shoppers see again the landscape of the produce aisle and reconsider the cultured vitality of the dairy section. Of course, then my thoughts wandered to vacuum cleaner stores and spatula factories and I had to have sip of water.
That's when the tears started up. I wasn't sad, nor was I aware of any pain. I don't know why they came, but they did. I lay there, now with closed eyes, and the tears rolled on out, down the side of my head and down behind my neck. The dentist asked whether I was alright and I nodded and the tears kept comin.' "Must be the light," she said, referring to the lamp shining in my face. "Lots of people have tears in bright light."
I gave a little nod with my eyes closed and thought how silly I must look my mouth clamped open with what looked like a jar opener, and drool all over the place, and tiny streams of mascara heading for the hills.
Someone told me recently that tears of real grief have no salt in them. You can actually do a grief check by tasting your tears. I never did get around to it after Dolores' funeral. I didn't think of it until the dental visit, and by then my tongue was too numb to be of any use. But no matter. Grief or not, it's time to move forward. Thanksgiving is at hand, and I'm thankful as all getout. Lord knows I have all I need, and enough to share with my friends, and a stranger or two along the way. I've got Michele the dentist, and the smile she gave back to me. And my kids, of course, and a man who hears every word I say and holds my hand during thunderstorms. And then there's the pantry, and the tractor, and the fact that I can still climb a tree without much trouble. Life's a good thing to be aware you've got. Sure is.
I like something good to drink over the holidays, something I can drink a lot of without tipping over. These two recipes will fit right in for the next month or two.
Holiday Punch
Combine 2 cups of cranberry juice
with four cups of ginger ale in a punch bowl.
Stir, and throw a couple orange slices on top.
Mmm. Enjoy!
Russian Tea
2 cups Tang
1/2 cup instant tea (Lipton is good)
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 pkg lemonade mix
2 t cinnamon
1 t cloves
Store in dry jars.
Combine a tablespoon of mix with one cup of hot water.

Muthuhara Australia 2376 holding an open day
"Muthuhara" of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Cooperation is the most famous and well known children's program in Sri Lanka. In 2009 it expanded overseas, when the first of its international branch named "Muthuhara Australia" was formed in Sydney.
On Sunday 26th February 2012, Muthuhara Australia held its annual "Open Day" in the presence of their patron Mr Maitri Panagoda. Sri Lankan Consul General in Sydney Mr S Wijesundara, Sri Lankan Consul Mr Sarath Rupasiri, the president of The Sinhalese Cultural Forum Mr Daya Siriwardene and the renowned Sri Lankan Musician Dr Shelton Premaratne were among the honoured guests.
The main goal of the event was to promote what Muthahara stands for among the general community. There were speeches, dramas, dances and songs performed to live music. It was moving to hear about the experiences of Muthuhara members from different age groups. The greatest success of the event was that fifteen children signed up to be a part of the Muthuhara family.

GAME 2: VANDERBILT COMMODORES VS. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDESeptember 9, 2006 -- Bryant-Denny Stadium (92,138) -- Tuscaloosa 2:37 p.m. (CST) -- FSN South
The University of Alabama football teams opens the Southeastern Conference portion of its 2006 schedule as the Crimson Tide hosts Vanderbilt University in the SEC opener for both teams. The game is set for Saturday, September 9, at 2:37 p.m. (CST) and will be televised by FSN South. Bill Rosinski (play-by-play), David Archer (analyst) and Jenn Hildreth (reporter) will serve as the announce team for FSN South. Alabama opened the 2006 season with a 25-17 win over Hawai'i last Saturday in Tuscaloosa. Sophomore John Parker Wilson (Hoover) completed 16 of 29 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown in his debut as the starting quarterback. His favorite target was junior wide receiver Keith Brown (Ft. Walton Beach, Fla.), who hauled in six passes for 132 yards and one touchdown. Wilson's 35-yard touchdown pass to Brown on the first possession of the third quarter gave Alabama a 22-3 lead over Hawai'i. Vanderbilt opened its season with a 27-7 loss at No. 14 Michigan in Ann Arbor. Alabama is 46-20-4 (.686) all-time in SEC openers and owns a 14-game winning streak, which dates back to the 1992 season. Alabama's last loss in an SEC opener came on September 14, 1991, in a 35-0 loss at Florida. Vanderbilt is the most common opponent in SEC openers. The Crimson Tide and Commodores will be meeting for the 21st time this weekend in an SEC opener. Alabama owns a 16-3-1 (.825) advantage over Vanderbilt in those previous 20 meetings.THE HEAD COACHES
Alabama head football coach Mike Shula (Alabama, 1986) is in his fourth season with the Crimson Tide and has compiled a 21-17 (.553) record. Shula's teams have made progress each season under his watch. After a 4-9 mark in his rookie campaign in 2003, Alabama went 6-6 in 2004 and finished with a No. 8 national ranking after last year's 10-2 mark and Cotton Bowl win over Texas Tech. Shula was named Alabama's 26th head coach just 114 days prior to the start of the 2003 season and did not have a spring practice session. He previously served as an assistant coach in the NFL with Tampa Bay, Chicago and Miami. A three-year letterman at Alabama (1984-86), Shula was a two-time All-SEC selection and threw for over 2,000 yards as a junior (1985), leading the Crimson Tide to dramatic come-from-behind wins over Georgia and Auburn. Vanderbilt head coach Bobby Johnson (Clemson, 1973) is in his fifth season with the Commodores and has compiled a 71-72 (.496) record. His best season on the VU campus came last season when he guided the Commodores to a 5-6 record. Prior to Vanderbilt, Johnson spent 24 years at Furman, where he served as head coach from 1994-2001. He led the Paladins to a 60-30 (.667) record, an NCAA Division IAA national runnerup finish and four Southern Conference championships. He also spent two years as an assistant at his alma mater, Clemson (1980 and 1993). Johnson played football at Clemson for Cecil "Hootie" Ingram, a standout football and baseball player at Alabama and former Director of Athletics (1989-95).NEXT GAME
Alabama concludes its three-game homestand next Saturday, September 16, against Louisiana Monroe. The Alabama-ULM game will kickoff at 6:07 p.m. (CST) and will be televised by Crimson Tide pay-per-view.
*Alabama returns 13 starters and one specialist off last year's team that posted a 10-2 record and defeated Texas Tech in the 2006 AT&T Cotton Bowl.
*The Crimson Tide returns nine starters on offense, including the school's sixth all-time leading rusher and a preseason candidate for the coveted Rimington Trophy, which is given annually to the best center.
*Senior running back Kenneth Darby (Huntsville) is the school's sixth all-time leading rusher with 2,512 career yards.
*He needs 1,052 yards to break the UA career rushing record currently held by Shaun Alexander, the 2005 NFL Most Valuable Player.
*Darby has played in 35 career games at UA and has rushed 508 times for 2,512 yards and 11 touchdowns.
*He has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons and seeks to become the first UA back with three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns.
*Darby anchors a deep and talented stable of running backs, which includes sophomores Jimmy Johns (Brookhaven, Miss.) and Glen Coffee (Ft. Walton Beach, Fla.).
*Coffee suffered a knee injury in the Crimson Tide's first scrimmage on Aug. 14 and is expected to miss at least two games.
*A pair of redshirt freshmen -- Roy Upchurch (Tallahassee, Fla.) and Ali Sharrief (Huntsville) -- and true freshman Terry Grant (Lumberton, Miss.) will also battle for playing time.
*Grant burst onto the scene in the Crimson Tide's first scrimmage on Aug. 14, when he rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns.
*Seniors Le'Ron McClain (Northport) and Tim Castille (Birmingham) provide a formidable one-two punch at fullback.
*In 36 games, McClain has 28 rushing attempts for 123 yards and two TDs.
*Castille, who averages one TD for every 7.6 rushing attempts, has played in 32 games and has 121 rushing attempts for 418 yards and 16 touchdowns.
*Castille had 45 carries for 124 yards and team-high seven TDs last year.
*Another talented group is the Crimson Tide's receiving corps.
*Juniors Keith Brown (Ft. Walton Beach, Fla.), DJ Hall (Ft. Walton Beach) and Matt Caddell (McCalla) all return with significant experience.
*Brown has 57 career receptions for 1,069 yards and six touchdowns. He had a breakout game against Hawai'i in the 2006 season opener with six catches for 132 yards and one touchdown.
*Last year, Brown led UA with 34 catches for 642 yards and four TDs.
*Hall has 65 catches for 862 yards and six TDs in 23 career games. Last year, he caught 48 passes for 676 yards and five TDs.
*Caddell has 32 career receptions for 530 yards and one TD. He hauled in 13 passes for 179 yards last year.
*Redshirt sophomore Will Oakley (Ponta Vedra Beach, Fla.) has overcome numerous injuries and should make a contribution this fall.
*Oakley hauled in two passes for 25 yards in the win over Hawai'i, including a clutch 20-yard catch on third-and-11 in the second half.
*Also in the mix are junior Nikita Stover (Hartselle) and freshmen Earl Alexander (Phenix City) and Mike McCoy (Rankin, Miss.).
*The job of distributing the ball to the backs and receivers falls on the shoulders of starting quarterback John Parker Wilson (Hoover), who made his first career start against Hawai'i.
*Wilson had a stellar debut as he completed 16 of 29 passes for 253 yards and one touchdown in the win.
*He played in five games last season and completed seven of 11 passes for 98 yards and two TDs. He also added one rushing touchdown.
*Wilson replaced three-year starter Brodie Croyle, who holds Alabama career records for passing yards and touchdowns.
*Croyle completed 488 of 869 passes for 6,382 yards in his record-setting career. He added 41 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.
*Senior Marc Guillon (Chico, Calif.), who has game experience at Miami (Fla.) and Alabama, will serve as Wilson's backup.
*Guillon has completed 20 of 44 passes for 191 yards at UA, with three interceptions and one TD.
*The offensive line had the most competition this preseason, with only one starting spot locked up before camp began.
*Alabama played nine offensive lineman in the 2006 season opener against Hawai'i. The Crimson Tide played a total of nine offensive lineman the entire 2005 season.
*Sophomore center Antoine Caldwell (Montgomery) made the move from guard to center prior to the 2006 AT&T Cotton Bowl and that move proved beneficial to both Caldwell and the Tide.
*Caldwell is on the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy and was named to several preseason All-SEC teams.
*Redshirt freshman Evan Cardwell (Killen) will be the backup center.
*The arrival of freshman Andre Smith (Birmingham) brought an immediate impact to the offensive line.
*Smith became the first "true" freshman to start the season opener for the Crimson Tide since fullback Tim Castille during the 2003 season.
*Smith also became just the seventh "true" freshman to start a season opener since 1972.
*Smith's backup is sophomore Cody Davis (Tuscaloosa). Davis appeared as a back up in eight games last year.
*Junior Chris Capps (Jonesboro, Ga.) and senior Kyle Tatum (Prattville) have battled all fall for the starting spot at right tackle.
*Capps, who has played in 19 games and logged 13 career starts, is expected to get the starting nod in the season opener.
*Tatum, who has played in 34 career games, opened the season as Capps' backup. Tatum's streak of 24 consecutive starts ended with the 2006 season opener.
*Sophomore B.J. Stabler (Grove Hill) and junior Justin Britt (Cullman) have nailed down the right and left guard spots respectively.
*Stabler played in 11 games last season for the Crimson Tide at guard.
*Britt, who has 21 career games on defense, made his offensive debut in the season opener against Hawai'i.
*Redshirt freshman Mike Johnson (Pensacola) will back up Stabler at right guard.
*Sophomore Marlon Davis (Columbus, Ga.) will be Britt's backup. Davis played in five games last season while battling injuries. He did make his lone career start against Southern Miss (September 10).
*Alabama must replace seven starters off a defense that ranked among the national leaders in five major statistical categories, including scoring defense, rushing defense, passing defense, total defense and pass efficiency defense.
*The Crimson Tide led the SEC in scoring defense (10.7 ppg) last year.
*Alabama also led the NCAA in scoring defense, passing defense (160.8) and total defense (255.1).
*The Crimson Tide returns depth at the defensive tackle position.
*Senior Dominic Lee (Birmingham) is listed as the first team right defensive tackle. He will be backed up by another senior, J.P. Adams (Tuscaloosa).
*Lee has played 27 games for the Tide and has logged 26 tackles in his first three years.
*Adams has appeared in 16 games and recorded 11 tackles.
*Senior Jeremy Clark (Daphne) is the starting left defensive tackle. He has played 36 games for the Crimson Tide and recorded 62 career tackles.
*Clark's back up will be redshirt freshman Brandon Deaderick (Elizabethtown, Ky.). Deaderick made his debut in the season opener against Hawai'i with 12 snaps.
*Sophomore Wallace Gilberry (Bay Minette) and junior Keith Saunders (Willingboro, N.J.) will start at left and right defensive end.
*Gilberry and Saunders have played in 42 games and logged 84 tackles on the defensive front.
*Gilberry has appeared in 25 games and logged 67 tackles, including 23 TFLs and eight sacks.
*Saunders has 11 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in 18 games for the Tide. He made his first career start against Hawai'i.
*Senior Chris Harris (Tuscaloosa) will serve as Gilberry's back up, while sophomore Bobby Greenwood (Prattville) will back up Saunders.
*Harris has 27 career tackles, including eight TFLs, in 32 games at UA.
*Greenwood has 15 stops and five TFLs in 12 career games.
*Senior Juwan Simpson (Decatur) is the lone returning linebacker.
*Simpson has played in 35 games at UA and has logged 166 career tackles, 12 TFLs and four sacks.
*Simpson will start at one outside linebacker spot, with DeMarcus Waldrop (Pinson) and Marcel Stamps (Brantley) serving as his backup.
*Waldrop has 38 tackles in 25 games for the Tide, while Stamps has 14 tackles in 25 games.
*Replacing DeMeco Ryans and Freddie Roach, who played in 100 combined games at UA will not be an easy task for defensive coordinator Joe Kines.
*Ryans and Roach contributed 579 tackles in their four-year careers at UA. The duo was also responsible for 58 TFLs.
*Junior Matt Collins (Birmingham) is ready to take over at middle linebacker for the Crimson Tide.
*Collins had one tackle in his first collegiate start in the 2006 opener against Hawai'i. In 24 career games, he has logged 16 career tackles.
*Redshirt freshman Prince Hall (Moreno Valley, Calif.) is Collins' backup and made an impact in his UA debut with three tackles, one sack and a fumble recovery.
*Senior Terrence Jones (Fosters) finally got his turn as a starting linebacker. Jones has 53 tackles and six TFLs in 35 career games.
*Jones will also be backed up by a redshirt freshman Zach Schreiber (Shreveport, La.).

*The trio combined for 150 games, 659 tackles, 75 PBUs and 23 interceptions over the last four years.
*Senior Ramzee Robinson (Huntsville), the lone returning starter in the secondary, is back for a third year at the left cornerback position.
*Robinson has played in all 38 games in his UA career and logged 101 tackles, 17 PBUs and two interceptions (60 yards).
*True freshman Marquis Johnson (Sarasota, Fla.) has emerged as Robinson's backup.

*Sophomore Lionel Mitchell (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and junior Eric Gray (Trinity) will backup Castille.
*Mitchell had three tackles and one interception (in the Hawai'i end zone on the final play of the game to seal 25-17 win) in his 2006 debut. Prior to the season opener, Mitchell had two tackles in five career games.
*Gray has 10 tackles in 18 career games.
*Senior Jeffrey Dukes (Oxford) will man the strong safety position. Dukes has appeared in 25 games and recorded 30 tackles and one interception.
*He had seven stops in his first career start against Hawai'i in the 2006 season opener.
*Sophomore Cory Reamer (Hoover) and senior Bryan Kilpatrick (Monroeville) are Dukes' backups.
*Reamer added two tackles in five games before his freshman season was cut short by an ACL injury.
*Kilpatrick has played in nine games for the Crimson Tide and logged his first career tackle against Hawai'i.
*Junior Marcus Carter (Ft. Payne) cracks the starting lineup in his third season at UA as the free safety.
*Carter was the Crimson Tide's third-leading tackler (6) against Hawai'i and added one TFL. Prior to the 2006 season opener, Carter had four tackles in 22 career games.
*Carter's backups are sophomore Rashad Johnson (Sulligent) and true freshman Sam Burnthall (Decatur).
*Johnson actually started as the Crimson Tide's nickel back against Hawai'i in the season opener. He finished the game with six tackles.
*In 13 career games, Johnson has 14 tackles.
*Alabama will also be breaking in three new specialists this season as only junior place kicker Jamie Christensen (Norcross, Ga.) returns.
*Christensen hit 16 of 25 field goal attempts last season, including a school-record three game-winning kicks against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas Tech. He also converted 25 of 26 extra point attempts.
*Freshman Leigh Tiffin (Muscle Shoals) is the backup to Christensen after a solid fall. He is the son of former All-American kicker Van Tiffin (1983-86).
*Christensen has battled an injury during fall camp, so Tiffin handled all the kicking chores against Hawaii in the season opener.
*Tiffin connected on 3 of 4 field goal attempts and made both extra points to finish his debut with 11 points. He made field goals of 31, 27 and 26 yards and missed from 31 yards in the win.
*Tiffin's 11 points were three more than his father recorded in his kicking debut at Alabama in 1983. Van Tiffin scored eight points (2 FG, 2 PATs) in his UA debut against Georgia Tech to open the 1983 season. Alabama won the game 20-7 at Legion Field.
*Redshirt freshman P.J. Fitzgerald (Coral Springs, Fla.) will make his debut as the Tide's punter in 2006. True freshman Adam Hill (Douglasville, Ga.) is the backup.
*Fitzgerald will also serve as the chief holder on extra points and field goals. Guillon is also a holder.
*Senior Luke Spaulding (Mobile) is primed to make his debut as Alabama's snapper this season.
*Redshirt freshman Brian Selman (Vestavia Hills) is Spaulding's backup.
