Founded in 1959 and now comprising five wings, nearly 8,000 works and more than 38,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Colby College Museum of Art has built an important collection that specializes in American and contemporary art with additional, select collections of Chinese antiquities and European paintings and works on paper. The Museum serves as a teaching resource for Colby College and is a major cultural destination for the residents of Maine and visitors to the state.
In July 2013, the Colby Museum inaugurated the Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion. Refined and minimalist in design, the glass pavilion completes a circuit with the four existing wings of the Museum. The pavilion provides a spacious lobby that includes a sculpture gallery and terrace, as well as new exhibition galleries, classrooms, expanded collection storage, and staff offices. A three-story wall drawing by conceptual artist Sol LeWitt occupies the glass-enclosed stairwell. The pavilion's upper floor is dedicated to the College's art department, providing new studios for photography and fine art foundation classes.
The Museum is wheelchair accessible through the North and South entrances of the Bixler Art and Music Center. Parking is available in Roberts Lot.

it was an eye-opener (not mind-opener, that would come later). i was pleasantly shocked that people were openly doing drugs, whether it was the one single tank up in some bushes in the middle of the parking lot or a quick puff of some herb on the "lawn" (thirty foot patch of grass in the back of the venue). i was sober, probably not by choice, but too caught up in the newness of everything to dare mess it up by getting caught doing something i shouldn't.
fifteen years later and i'm still smiling at the fact that 'split open and melt' was the first phish song i ever heard live. this one song more than any other (by any band for that matter) has done so much to open my ears and my heart. with that in mind, the more i look at the setlist the more songs i see that ended up being totems for me: tweezer, the divided sky, guelah! jah works in mysterious ways.
i danced a little. my friends would not. it would mark the first time i could demarcate a line between those who dance as active participation and those who passively listen, and i think even at that young age i could understand the power of dance as language and movement.
i bought a t-shirt, the classic white with rainbow logo. it had a '1993' underneath the logo, and it was comfy right away, no washing required. i would kill to have that shirt today.
the zoo was one of the strangest places i ever saw phish. my strongest memory is of leaving during setbreak to walk amongst the animals, running back in to the pavillion as the opening strains of 'tweezer' unfolded like a giant fruit bat's wings.

I love the unconscious brain! Yesterday I went to the university library and took out a bunch of books, including The Arrival, which is very impressive visually and conceptually (I'd only looked at it -- "read" seems the wrong verb for a wordless book -- once in a bookstore, and wanted the chance to really stare; also, the director of the library, David Beronä, reviewed it for Rain Taxi, so I thought it would be fun to borrow it from David's library. He was a very appropriate reviewer for it, since he's the author of Wordless Books: The Original Graphic Novels) and The Jameson Reader (what I really wanted was Marxism and Form, but the library doesn't have that [gasp! ack!], so I was hoping to be able to trace some of the ideas I was trying to trace via the selection from Jameson's other writings).
So anyway, I looked at The Arrival, then read some Jameson, then read the Times article about Rachel Maddow getting her own show. I haven't actually watched or listened to Maddow very much, but I've enjoyed her when I've happened to see her on something or other (as often as not, YouTube), but I'm thrilled a major network is giving an out lesbian with a doctorate in political science her own show. I also love that her birthday is (according to Wikipedia) April Fool's Day, which is also the birthday of my paternal grandfather and Samuel R. Delany. (And wouldn't Delany just make the greatest guest on the show?! Imagine! They could do a birthday show together!)
All of this was apparently brewing in my brain last night, because I woke up this morning having dreamed that I somehow had become an advisor to Barack Obama, and we were in a little room with Noam Chomsky and China Miéville, trying to decide which one was going to be Obama's running mate. Chomsky protested that he's older than McCain, and Miéville said he's not a U.S. citizen, and Obama stood there and held his chin in his hand and looked thoughtful for a long time. But somewhere during the dream, he said, "Okay, I'm going to go make the announcement." And that's all I remember.
Naturally, I was disturbed this morning to wake up and discover that, in fact, Obama has not announced his running mate yet.
At least Rachel Maddow getting her own show was not a dream...

I just found a copy of Late Marxism for a dollar. Glee! Working through Jameson's Seeds of Time(wait, is that right? where did I leave that thing?) right now too. Might have to break between them. God knows I don't want him to influence my own prose. Hooray, also, for library adventures.ReplyDelete

Knitter's Review
December 19, 2013
This winter I'm embracing the Danish concept of "hygge." Like all good words, this one lacks an easy English translation. Hygge is about coziness and nesting, but also relates to the broader concept of kindness and conviviality, gathering with friends, and slowing down to enjoy simple things. It's become an underpinning of Danish culture, especially during the cold, dark winter months.
For me, hygge means stepping back and taking a thoughtful, compassionate survey of the road we've just traveled. We've covered a lot of ground this year. Let's gather for a look at 2013 in review.

China Moves Forward in Opening Gold Market
By Clementine Wallop
China will allow over-the-counter gold trading between banks for the first time Monday, a significant financial reform for the world's second-largest buyer of the precious metal.
The move reflects the Chinese government's latest effort to develop Shanghai into a major gold trading center, and mirrors similar developments in the country's currency and oil markets.
The introduction of interbank trading is intended to develop China into a liquid and market such as London, and demonstrates the government's readiness to open the market to greater participation by international banks, said Jeremy East, global head of metals trading at Standard Chartered(STAN.LN).
"From a government perspective, gold is seen as currency, and the government is slowly releasing the controls on currency. We expect the [gold] market will be opened up to more foreign banks," he said.
Given their trading volumes, Chinese banks already play a significant role in determining international gold prices, so the move will have a limited impact on prices, Mr. East said.
China offers a massive gold market, albeit one that is tightly controlled. The country is the world's biggest gold producer and ranked as the No. 2 gold consumer in the third quarter of this year. It has official gold reserves of 1,054 metric tons, the world's sixth-largest, World Gold Council data show. But gold exports are banned and only a handful of banks hold import licenses.
Until now, member banks have been able to trade physical gold between themselves on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, but the absence of an over-the-counter market restricted them from becoming market makers in gold. In an over-the-counter market, transactions are quoted and conducted between parties on a principal-to-principal basis rather than being traded through a broker on an exchange.
Chinese gold demand has surged in recent years. The People's Bank of China has encouraged people to buy gold while it has added to its own stockpile to diversify its foreign reserves. The Shanghai Gold Exchange is the world's biggest platform for trading physical gold.
The introduction of interbank trading represents only a "small step" in the government's long-term plan for its gold market, but the initial stages of interbank trading are likely to be "very limited," said Xie Duo, director-general of the central bank's financial market department.
"We're trying to test the market," Mr. Xie said.
Standard Chartered is one of the banks that will participate in interbank trading when it begins next week. Others include Chinese banks such as Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (601398.SH) China Construction Bank (601939.SH) and Bank of China Ltd. (601988.SH), as well as Chinese units of foreign banks such as HSBC Holdings(HBC).
Mr. East noted that the gold market will remain tightly regulated.
"Ultimately the gold market will open up to more banks, but it's not going to be carte blanche," he said. "It's unlikely the floodgates will be opened and every foreign bank will be able to import everything they want."
The Shanghai Gold Exchange said late Thursday that the interbank gold trading will be cleared and delivered by the bourse and will be conducted via the China Foreign Exchange Trading System, a central bank subsidiary that oversees onshore currency trading. The SGE is directly supervised by the PBOC.
The gold exchange currently offers spot and deferred prices to more than 3 million individual clients, a senior PBOC official said this month.
The opening up of the gold market comes as China is seeking to increase foreign investors' participation in the nation's crude-oil market. Chinese regulators said this month that they will allow qualified foreign institutional investors to trade crude-oil futures contracts planned for the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
Gold exchange-traded funds, hugely popular in Western markets, are widely expected to be the next precious metals product launched in China.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange could launch gold ETFs early next year if it receives government approval by the end of this year, the state-run China Securities Journal said last week, citing an exchange official.
ETFs have been a major source of demand for physical gold since the first gold ETF was launched in 2003. In the third quarter of this year, global gold demand from ETFs rose 56% from the same period a year earlier, WGC data showed.

Definition of four-stroke in English:
1Denoting an internal combustion engine having a cycle of four strokes (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust).
Example sentences
- Unlike two-stroke engines that have simple openings or ports for intake and exhaust, four-stroke engines have intake and exhaust valves at each cylinder head.
- The combustion chamber of a four-stroke engine is designed to induce turbulence through the addition of 'squish' areas in which the top of the piston is the mirror image of a corresponding area of the cylinder head.
- In four-stroke engines, one of the strokes is called the compression stroke.
1.1Denoting a vehicle having a four-stroke engine.
Example sentences
- Two-stroke motorcycles should pay more pollution tax than four-stroke motorcycles and Euro2 compliant cars should pay no taxes at all.
- The race was split into four categories 50 cc, four-stroke motorcycles up to 180 cc, novice riders on two-stroke bikes and 100 to 135 cc for the experienced.
- If achieved, this expedition will ensure the entry of the team - riding Fiero FX 150 cc four-stroke power bikes - in the Guinness Book of World Records.
A four-stroke engine or vehicle.
Example sentences

- I've just bought a Honda four-stroke, the Rolls Royce of mowers.
- On the other hand, four-strokes are generally suited to applications appropriate to the lower horsepower range.

News 12 This Morning / Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- If you attend a technical college in Georgia, you will be paying more money next semester for school.
Recently, the technical system of Georgia approved a tuition increase for all students. Starting in January, students across the state will be paying $10 more per credit hour, plus an instructional fee.
"Why?" asked student Bih Johnson. "My expenses will have to go up and there will be more money coming out of pocket from our family and that's not too good."
The increase brings up tuition at Augusta Tech from $75 to $85 per hour.
"It hurts," Johnson said. "It would hurt if you add the $10 per credit for the time that you're in school, it adds up."
After budget cuts this year, President Terry Elam says it was the only option.
"State funding levels are down, no one wants higher taxes so it's actually shifting the cost to the student," Elam said.
He says this isn't uncommon, though. They've actually increased tuition every year.
"We've cut $5 million dollars of state funding out of Augusta Tech's budget that has been filled by tuition increases," Elam said.
The increase will affect every technical college in the state of Georgia, but students say $10 seems like a lot.
"I think it could be a little less than $10 an hour because, like myself, I'm taking 15 hours this quarter, so that would be an increase of basically $150 for me," said student Dalton Green.
Elam says the tuition is still the cheapest around.
"The next closest school in this region with tuition is $101 a semester hour," Elam said. "We're gonna be at 85. We're still a bargain."
The students agree.
"That's the reason why I came here," Johnson said. "That's one of the biggest reasons why I came here because the amount per credit hour is the cheapest around."
They say it still gives you the most value for your money.
"It's an increase in cost, but I think the value that they're getting will more than over shadow that," Elam said.
"At the end of the day, you want to get a good job and this school does put you there," Johnson said.
The hike also includes a $50 instructional fee. The changes go into affect Jan. 1.
This increase will not affect online classes, but the technical system of Georgia did approve an increase for those as well. It will start next fall and will cost an additional $50 per online class.

Scripture: 2Samuel 7:22 How great you are, Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
Observation: King David was responding to God's message that God would establish David's line as King forever. I hear David saying, "I have never heard anyone speak of any God like you. From what I hear of the other gods, not one of them even comes close to you! You are far superior to all other gods!"
Application: If David was in awe of God during his days, how much more should I be in awe of God today! People worship the gods of nature and the gods of their ancestors. I have never heard anyone talking about their god being infinite in strength and also both holy AND loving! I have never heard of another God as holy—existing in perfect rightness and demanding a perfect sacrifice to pay for my sin! I have never heard of another God as loving—loving us so much that he sent his only son to die for my sins that I might have access into His presence!!!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am in awe of your perfectly demonstrated holiness and your perfectly expressed love! You are amazing! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH, PEND d^OREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA FULL MOON OF THE HARVEST OF RIPE THINGS SEPTEMBER 1,1981 Federal official addressed Affiliated Tribes on the Flathead A Washington, D.C. biggie, Ken Smith, Assistant Secretary of the Interior - Indian Affairs, highlighted the first day of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNWI) annual convention, held this year at the Arlee Pow-Wow grounds on the Flathead Reservation. In Montana to attend the National Tribal Chairmen's Association meeting in Billings, Smith spent the better part of August 12 addressing various issues concerning ATNWI-member tribes. Here on the Flathead, for example, Tribal Councilman E.W. Morigeau questioned Smith about tribal water Date set for pilgrimage Sunday, September 13, has been set for this year's pilgrimage to St. Mary's Mission in Stevensville. The annual journey takes place early each fall in memory of the Salish people's many years in the Bitterroot Valley before they were forced to relocate here on the Flathead Reservation. Many tribal elders are buried in the Mission's cemetery. Plans call for a noon-time mass, followed by a potluck dinner and inter-tribal war dancing. Transportation will be available to whoever needs it. (Head Start has loaned two buses.) Departure time will be 9:30 that morning. Call Clarence Woodcock at 745-4572. A good turn-out is hoped for this year for the traditional journey to the homeland of our ancestors. codes, in light of the fact that Smith's boss, James Watt, keeps turning them down. Smith answered that the time is nearing when a code will have to be approved, but "we'll have to be very sure of our legal grounds so we can't be assured of denying anyone due process". One of our Kootenai tribal members, Vernon Finley, asked Smith about the hydroelectric development taking place up around Kootenai aboriginal grounds near Libby. "Our spirits say they want that area left alone," he said. Smith wasn't familiar with the Libby dam issue but assured Finley that his office has to support each tribe's side of various issues and that he'll follow up on the Kootenai situation. Two pieces of Indian legislation were brought up during the question-and-answer period: the Indian Child Welfare Act and the Indian Religious Freedom Act. Secretary Smith was frankly not optimistic about the first piece of law because funding for its implementation looked extremely doubtful. Allocations for the next fiscal year haven't been decided, he explained. If Indian programs are funded at 95% of 1981 's level, there may be money available. The expected level is 90°7o, though, and there's definitely no extra money to be had then. ATNWI President Russell Jim (Yakima) expressed his concern that the Religious Freedom Act "had no teeth". He also asked Smith if he could "give us some reassuring words" about James (Continued on Oflja 2) Inside this issue FAD in trouble................................Page 3 "Letters to the Editor"..........................Page 8 Health Corner................................Page 10 Is there oil on the Rez?.........................Page 14 SKCC fall quarter class schedule...............Page 15-18 August Calendar..............................Page 22 Council Meeting Minutes....................Pages 24-26

RIPON - The Ripon Police Department's Special Investigations Unit has apprehended a man who was wanted in connection with a failed carjacking attempt, authorities said.
Salvador Junior Moya, 23, of Ripon was taken into custody about 9:30 p.m. Friday during a traffic stop in the 800 block of Oakdale Road in Modesto, police said.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted carjacking, cruelty to a child, participating in a criminal street gang and possession of a controlled substance for sale, officers said.
Police allege that Moya and Luis Alejandro Machuca, 20, of Modesto entered a Ripon family's running vehicle Aug. 23 in the 200 block of Frontage Road in Ripon. A small child who was seated in the back seat tried to flee from the vehicle, authorities said. The carjackers fled on foot as the family rushed to the boy's aid after one of the carjackers struck him in the head, police said.
Machuca was arrested at the time of the incident. He has been sentenced to nine years in jail, authorities said.

BBC R&DTV – Creative Commons Tech TV
In an interesting, and to be applauded, move from the BBC, they are now releasing a technology based television programme under a Creative Commons non-commercial attribution licence. R&DTV's first episode is now available for free download in a number of file formats. There is a full 30 minute version available, a shorter 5 minute highlight version, as well as a complete Asset Bundle, which includes rushes that may not have made it into the final programme versions.
The BBC's RAD blog has a launch announcement about this, followed up by another post 24 hours later outlining some small fixes.
The programme is PAL 720×576. The aspect appears to be 14:9 anamorphic. The little person inside me who wants the greatest and the best all the time, wonders why the filming wasn't done in HD, even HDV would do.
I thought the "formats" described on the R&DTV website were a bit vague. What does QuickTime format and Matroska format really mean? Sure, I know about QuickTime and Matroska containers, but this doesn't say anything about the video and audio essence contained therein. The best way to find out about this is to download each video and let FFmpeg take a look.
QuickTime Format (461.3MB):
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.mov':
Duration: 00:05:59.08, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 10777 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s
Stream #0.1(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 720×576, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 50 tbc
That's H.264 video with PCM audio. Strange they didn't use AAC audio in a QuickTime file. Looking at that 10Mbps bitrate though, I'm guessing perhaps the BBC is expecting people to use this version for editing. But then why use H.264, rather than something that's I-Frame only like IMX50? There's also an Uncompressed version and another QuickTime version, which we'll come to later.
Matroska Format (28.4MB):
Input #0, matroska, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.mkv':
Duration: 00:05:59.04, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A
Stream #0.0(eng): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 720×576 [PAR 1:1 DAR 5:4], 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 25 tbc
Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16
Generic mpeg4 video this time (Xvid perhaps) and here's our AAC audio!
MP4 Format (65.4MB):
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.mp4':
Duration: 00:05:59.10, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1526 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 720×576 [PAR 1:1 DAR 5:4], 25 tbr, 48k tbn, 50 tbc
Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16
H.264 video again and AAC audio again. When opening this file with Totem to view, the Comments section says "HandBrake 0.9.3 2008121800". Nice to know the BBC is using Open Source software for at least some of their video transcoding.
AVI Format (63MB):
Input #0, avi, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.avi':
Duration: 00:05:59.04, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1470 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 720×576 [PAR 1:1 DAR 5:4], 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 160 kb/s
Generic mpeg4 video again, but this time with mp3 audio.
FLV Format (37.4MB)
Input #0, flv, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.flv':
Duration: 00:05:59.07, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 844 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: vp6f, yuv420p, 1024×576, 716 kb/s, 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 128 kb/s
VP6 for the video codec and mp3 for the audio. No surprises there then. The bitrate is quite low though for VP6 content, quality will suffer.
Ogg Format:
Input #0, ogg, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins.ogg':
Duration: 00:05:59.08, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 683 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: theora, yuv420p, 720×576, PAR 1:1 DAR 5:4, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: vorbis, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 516 kb/s
Theora for the video and vorbis for the audio, again no surprises there. 5.1 audio is a nice touch though. However, again, the bitrate is very low. Why would the BBC do this? The MP4 version, with H.264 video at a higher bitrate, is going to look far superior.
QuickTime 2 Format (155MB):
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins_2.mov':
Duration: 00:05:59.08, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 3627 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s
Stream #0.1(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 720×576, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 50 tbc
H.264 video and PCM audio. This second QuickTime file is found only on the FTP site and not linked to directly from the main page. The bitrate is much lower than the previous QuickTime file.
QuickTime Uncompressed Format (7GB):
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'RDTV_ep1_5mins_uncompressed.mov':
Duration: 00:05:59.08, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 167428 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s
Stream #0.1(eng): Video: rawvideo, uyvy422, 720×576, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
There we go, raw video in the 4:2:2 colour space at 165Mbps, with PCM audio again. I wonder whether the content was filmed at anywhere near this resolution. Given that the programme is only SD, I'm guessing that the highest quality recording would have been done direct to Digital Betacam, which is only the equivalent of 90Mbps, unless of course the whole thing was done tapeless, which I must admit to doubting.
One last puzzlement is why a Dirac version wasn't supplied, given that this is the BBC's own R&D developed codec.

Ok, so here's my situation. I am 12 years old. I didn't make my local town travel team. I am currently playing in a church CYO league. I didn't try out for the school team.
On my CYO travel team,I play a 3 or 4, mainly 4. I hate playing the 4 because I'm really undersized for my age (5'2 roughly), and my team is pretty small too. I really want to be a 1 or a 2, yet we have some pretty good guards on our team, but I want to prove to my coach that I can play there.
I am getting a membership to the Y for Hanukkah, and I plan on going there to practice. My main sport is baseball, and I have been playing baseball since I was really young. I weight lift at the high school and participate in strength training at a nearby Frozen Ropes. I don't know if it is because it's just basketball season or what, but basketball is starting to become really close to baseball as my favorite sport. If I get better at it, I'm considering making it my first priority.
I have started to put together a binder for practice at the Y. So far, all it includes is a list of shooting and dribbling practicing things (for example, 5 shots from left elbow and 3 minutes of crossover dribbling down the court), and a spreadsheet of the shots and the completion percentages per practice. I need help to become a better player and get a better training routine. Can you guys help me become an elite guard? It is really my ball handling and shooting that needs help. I need a routine like shoot 5 jump shots from the baseline, and along those lines. I am really starting to question baseball and basketball... Always have loved baseball, one of the best ones in my school at it. Basketball? You know the story...
I am a 12 yr. old in the 6th grade and is on a basketball team (rec) playing for St. Joseph School in Bardstown, KY. The way I get good is by shooting two's and then shooting three's. Don't forget to stretch! Try doing crossovers and under the legs while walking to the basketball and doing a layup or a jump shot.
Great players don't quit, but losers do- Kentuckyfan1
What is important is learning the fundamentals of basketball first so when you practice your drills you are doing them correctly. How often do you have basketball lessons? We work with youth 3 times a week on fundamentals, shooting, ball handling, footwork, etc.
I have games on the weekends and team practice usually two times a week. I have a pretty full schedule so I am still trying to incorporate hours in the Y into it. I really need help on my ball handling and shooting. I am a pretty well at passing and defense. I will most likely be practicing alone.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Prep girls basketball: Warren tops MHS
Lady Warrior seniors finally win 44-37
January 31, 2013
VINCENT — Entering Wednesday night, the seniors on the Warren High girls basketball team had never beaten Marietta....
Waterford beat Marietta and Eastern beat Warren. Probably not much tournament hope for Marietta or Warren.

You have to wonder why one of the girls that has had the high scores in the past games was not starting for marietta. What kind of game plan does that coach have? Looks to me like he is not trying to win games or using his player to their best abilities.

Immaculata's James Cha was recently recognized with a honorable mention selection to the Kansas City Star All-Metro Tennis Team for the spring of 2012.
Cha earned fourth place at the state tournament last May, which was the highest award by an Immaculata tennis player in more than 13 years.
The Raider has medaled two years in a row — ninth place as a freshman and fourth as a sophomore.
James is one of the most underrated tennis players in the area.
Every time I watch him play, his foot speed is what really stands out to me. Before a ball is even hit, he already seems to be in motion to where its going to land.
Congrats James — well deserved.

When i was a little girl i loved unicorns and rainbows. I especially loved it when these two items were on a Lisa Frank brand sticker. Do you guys remember Lisa Frank? oh i coveted those stickers.
I used to love collecting stickers and i can still smell my collection in my mind today, sort of a mixture of plastic and faded smelly good stickers. Ahhh the memories, where is that collection anyways?
Its an interesting thought that i am the memory maker now. That everyday with my children is a memory, and you never know what part they will remember.
In light of the recent mini earthquake here in Baltimore , my mother and i were discussing the last time i was in earthquake. It was the early 80s and i was at my Nana's in California. My mothers remembers the exact show we were watching on TV. I remember the bowl of cereal i was eating, and don't even remember the TV being on.
It is kind of disheartening to know that we can not control our children's memories. As the adult memory maker in this house I'm determined to control the memories.
I know I'm not very realistic, but i figure if i just keep filling up their memory cups with the best of times, that it soon it will overflow, and that is my goal an overflow of good times.
We have decided to do all the Baltimore fun i can think of in one summer, and hopefully their mini cups will over flow on to the floor and out the door.
For all my local readers i complied a list of Baltimore area fun spots that we have personally been to this year. Now you have no excuse, "My kids camp is over what to do?"
The MyShtub Summer fun list........
1.The Herrs chip factory tour, located in Lancaster, PA about an hour from Baltimore
2. The Maryland Zoo, the only zoo Ive ever been to with the least amount of animals and the most amount of fun stuff for kids to do.
3. Gunpowder Falls Sate Park Beach, one word "Awesome"!
4. Baltimore museum of Art, lots of fun Sunday activities for kids check their website, and a fun sculpture garden to run around in.
5.Local Farmer's market in Pikesville
6. Eli Oak farm, so weird but worth the trip
7. Local Pools, our Local Bais Yaakov pool has women's hours
8. The Baltimore inner harbor
9. Port discovery
10 Storyville, love this place !
I'm sure their are many more if you have suggestions i will add them to my list.
