Her blueprint for a degree: 'Never give up'
Single mom, 40, beats adversity to graduate
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.

TUSCALOOSA | LaDonna Harris walked by the University of Alabama every day on her way to and from elementary school. She would watch as the students made their way to class or lounged around, studying. As a young girl, she would imagine what it would be like to be one of those students.
University of Alabama fall commencement
When: 9 a.m. Saturday for students from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, College of Human Environmental Sciences, Capstone College of Nursing and the School of Law; 1:30 p.m. for students from the College of Commerce and Business Administration, College of Communication and Information Sciences, College of Engineering and School of Social Work.
Where: Coleman Coliseum.
On the Web: Saturday's ceremony will be broadcast live over the Internet. The webcast will be available
for viewing at ua.edu/ commencement through December.
"I was a young black girl from the projects," said the 40-year-old single mother of two. "I never thought I'd be able to actually study at a place like that."
But study she did, and now, more than 30 years later, Harris will soon become a University of Alabama alumna.
She is one of more than 2,100 undergraduate, graduate and law students being awarded degrees Saturday at the 2012 University of Alabama fall commencement.
Her journey to higher education has been one of struggles, sorrow and numerous lessons learned. Her goal: to share those lessons with others in an effort to help them in their educational endeavors.
Shortly after high school, with her first son in tow, Harris began taking classes at Shelton State Community College. She earned her commercial driver's license in 1995 and then a barbering license in 2001, but when neither of those careers worked out, she decided it was time to continue her educational path. Slightly intimidated by the magnitude of UA, she "sucked it up," applied and started taking classes in 2003.
"It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, once I got familiar with the college," she said.
Two years later, she became pregnant with her second son and her whole life changed. Shortly after her son was born, she began drinking heavily.
"He was born with chronic asthma. That, coupled with the stresses of being a single parent, just became too much," Harris said. "We were in and out of the hospital, back and forth to class, trying to study, trying to take care of my babies. But I was still determined to finish."
Her journey continued going down a dark road when her father died. Despite her determination to earn a degree, Harris said her addiction took over and she took a three-year break from school.
"I didn't know how to deal with everything. My baby was still sick, then the loss of a parent," she said. "I was in such a dark place, until I went to treatment."
Harris slowly began getting her life back together. She enrolled in fall 2011 to complete her final math course. Her oldest son had graduated from high school and her youngest was starting kindergarten.
Now was her time to finish, or so she thought, but life continued dealing her some heavy blows.
Her youngest was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and Harris had to develop a new parenting style to deal with her son's behavior problems.
Then her mother lost everything in the April 27, 2011, tornado. Harris spent several months helping her family.
She was finally able to enroll in an online class this fall — the only class needed for her to earn her degree.
"I didn't have financial aid left, so I had to work really hard to come up with enough money to pay for this class. It took about a month's salary to cover the cost," she said. "But now I'm finished. I don't really feel excitement. That was years ago, when I first started and should have graduated. Now, it's just a sense of completion, relief, a sense of accomplishment. I finally did it."
With a criminal justice major and a minor in women's studies, Harris does not have a job lined up. She would like to be a probation officer, working with women or juveniles, but right now she is taking it one day at a time.
"I just want to share my story and hope that it helps someone. A lot of it has to do with decisions made early in life. Education needs to be a priority, as soon as you finish high school. Don't put it off," she said. "If anyone takes anything away from my story, it's to never give up. The fight is hard, but that should make you strive that much harder."

The melodic wail of the azan, the call to prayer, pierces my jet-lagged sleep. "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"God is great! God is great! calls the amplified muezzin in a high tenor. Quickly following, second muezzin sings in a resonant baritone. Before the first begins his next phrase, a third chimes in, another tenor with a faster tempo.
Somewhere more distant, a fourth azan rings forth and maybe a fifth. I can't tell. The melodious call to prayer reverberates along the dark, narrow streets and alleys of Sultanahmet, Istanbul's old city. The sounds echo off walls and buildings, rising to a glorious cacophony until each muezzin finishes his turn, and once again quiet rules the dawning day.
I have returned to Turkey with a contract for a book from a Turkish publishing house. Seeing my previous work, an editor felt there was a place in their catalog for a book by an American photographer-writer that could reinforce the bridge between Western misconceptions and the reality of his dynamic country.
They've invited us for lunch. Their office is somewhere in Asia - that is, the Asian side of the legendary Bosphorus dividing not just Istanbul, but Europe and Asia as well.
"Take a ferry from Eminonu to Uskudar, then a taxi to my office," wrote the editor. On the ferry, address in hand, we meet a kindly, English-speaking Turkish gentleman who takes us under his wing. "Don't take a taxi. They'll drive you around and cheat you." He finds the right bus, even pays our fare and hands me his phone number, saying, "Call me when you're done and I'll show you the fantastic view from Camlıca Tepe."
Following our course on Google Maps shows me where to get off, but when I get to the location shown on the app, it's not there. Quizzical gestures with the address to a passerby points me to the building two blocks away.
The meeting goes well. We're shown warm, Turkish hospitality and the impressive variety and quality of books they publish. When finished, the editor calls our new friend and we agree to meet at the ferry. How can one pass up such serendipitous hospitality?
Weather has turned. It's overcast, not an afternoon to photograph a spectacular mountaintop view. He suggests a ferry ride through the Golden Horn, the body of water separating old Istanbul from the more cosmopolitan Beyog'lu district.
After passing beneath the famous Galata Bridge, we zig-zag from shore to shore, dropping people off, picking others up. Dusk descends. A glorious sunset spreads behind the city, silhouetting mosques and their minarets against a crimson fire.
Exhausted from the day, jet lag and the cold (it is, after all,winter), our friend sees us off in Eminonu, promising to meet another day for the view from the mountain.
The next day we spend wandering the streets of Sultanahmet and at Istanbul's archeological museum, where millennia of human habitation and creativity are on display.
If there is one thing that dominates your awareness in Turkey, it is history. Vast expanses of human history pervade the Anatolian landscape. The Tigris and Euphrates, those rivers of legend that cradled civilization, have their source high in the mountains of northeastern Turkey.
Evidence of humanity extends back 65,000 years! Civilization though, doesn't begin until the Neolithic, around 8,000 B.C.E., when mankind evolved from its hunter-gatherer lifestyle and learned to cultivate crops and domesticate animals. The Anatolian Peninsula, which makes up the 97 percent of Turkey not in Europe, is chock full of Neolithic sites.
The Neolithic was only the beginning. Cities sprang up. Bronze replaced stone, iron replaced bronze. Armies conquered. Empires grew, clashed and disappeared time after time over the thousands of years before the Greek roots of our civilization appeared.
The entire panoply of early civilization and much of the history of the past two millennia can be seen. So here, in two short days, I experience a summation of my book: the incredible warmth and hospitality of a Muslim culture firmly rooted in history.
Before I really get to work though, we'll escape winter and head south to Israel, returning in a few weeks to southern Turkey, where spring will have begun.

It's time for some potty talk. Lone Tree Way has become an extended shopping mall for the East County. Locals are spending more and more time on Lone Tree as they combine their shopping trips to save gas. More time out usually means the need for a restroom. The options, nestled in multiple stores and restaurants, are many. Some relief stations are fine. Others are to be avoided.
East County shoppers, interviewed at random, talked about the plusses and minuses of various potty stops. Oddly enough, some establishments got both good and bad ratings from different people. Walmart got praised by one and panned by two others.
Jan McMillen of Discovery Bay has good words for Walmart. "I like the easy access and the restrooms are kept clean. I feel the same about Penny's, Target, and the WinCo supermarket," she said. "I try to avoid gas stations. I don't trust them."
Oakley's Arleen Legato feels exactly the opposite. "Walmart is bad. Various things in the restroom don't work. Sometimes the toilets don't flush. It's a very messy restroom," she said. "I don't like the Target restrooms either. If I need a restroom I go to Bed and Bath or Trader Joe's where it's clean and everything works."
Ken Hansen of Antioch is a traveling sales rep who's out on Lone Tree a lot. He also gives Walmart a bad grade. "I use fast food places more often than not. Carl's Junior is very good. So are the restrooms in WinCo and Target. I avoid gas the stations and public parks. They're usually not attended to and they aren't kept up. They get pretty filthy."
"Some of the gas station restrooms are gross as well as filthy," agreed Ruth Johnson of Oakley. "I prefer to use Target or Trader Joe's. Their restrooms are clean and more conveniently located for me."
Casey Lopez of Oakley also prefers Target and adds Cost Plus World Market and Starbucks. "They are good rooms for kids. They are kept very clean," she said. "I won't use the ones at gas stations because they're mostly filthy, nasty and gross."
Antioch's Carol Fontaine has good words for Target and Kohl's as well as a long list of others. "Lone Tree shopping has grown so fast that there are many good places to use a restroom. The ones to avoid are in gas stations."
Brian Whitman of Brentwood is even more complimentary. "Lone Tree shopping is relatively new. There are plenty of good choices and hardly a bad choice," he said. "If I had to pin a gold star on one it would be the Sports Chalet. It's super clean. I give Barnes and Noble high marks too."
Marge Chavez of Brentwood has a general complaint. "The majority of the places in Antioch say, 'Customers Only' and I don't like that. It's particularly true of restaurants. But I do like Panda Express where I'm welcome without buying," she said. "Gas stations also are pretty good and welcome walk-ins."
Contact Ed Arnow at email@example.com.
Eugenia Luomas of Discovery Bay is candid. "When I have to go I use any restroom available. I don't worry. I wash my hands a lot and favor places with posted 'hand wash' signs. The one restroom I don't like is in T.J. Max. The door lock is broken and the paper dispenser works poorly."

According to NCAA reports, the percentage of female head coaches of women's teams fell from more than 90% in 1972, as Title IX became law, to an all-time low of about 42% in 2006.
Why, 35 years later, is there such a disparity in college coaching between males and females? How can this trend be altered?
Wow. I cant believe those statistics. Well, I guess I can actually and thats the sad part. After contemplating going into coaching myself last year I can tell you why I didnt and possibly at the same time help to explain why many women are reluctant to go into coaching or stay with coaching.
Lacrosse is my passion and coaching is where I excel, however I want to have a life outside of my work and from watching and being there myself for 5 years I know at least for many of the coaches Ive known their sport is their life. Its hard to have a life while coaching and Im not saying its not possible, but it makes things more difficult if youre traveling to games, practicing, watching film, recruiting, organizing finances and keeping thirty plus young women in check and trust me these young women need to be kept in check especially when theyre young. I was one of them . Its even harder if you have a family, which I would assume is why many women that start in coaching, drop out of coaching. Although times have changed a bit, many women who work are still responsible for domestic duties and in an occupation like coaching, this becomes very difficult to balance due to the amount of time away from home required. Furthermore, if my job is going to be my life and take me away from my family I would at least hope to get paid well and as a womens coach that is unfortunately very unlikely. If I were to make it to the top and was coaching at a big name University with a winning team I still wouldnt be making a lot of money and certainly wouldnt be making as much money as a mens coach at a mid-size University with a decent team. So, I think thats hard for women to make that choice and to sacrifice family time and financial security for their passion to coach.
Im not sure how to change it unless salaries on the womens side are increased. I would assume there are many other factors that go into the dropping percentage of women in coaching, but this was my take on it. Any other ideas?

Adrian J. Polansky, State Executive Director of U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Eric B. Banks, State Conservationist for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Kansas have issued a joint burn advisory.
Kansas landowners and operators enrolled in Conservation Reserve Program contracts with prescribed burns planned or scheduled to be completed should be aware that persistent drought conditions across Kansas are creating conditions unsuitable for completing burns. Dry soil conditions, wind speeds, low relative humidity, continued drought and current weather are all ongoing factors that are producing unsafe conditions for burns and will produce results outside the defined objectives for which the practice is planned.

ALAMEDA -- Looks like the Darren McFadden watch will go up to kickoff Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
McFadden was listed as questionable Friday by the Raiders after limited practice time and was less than emphatic that he would play against the Kansas City Chiefs.
``I feel pretty good,'' McFadden said following practice. ``We're just going to try and make that decision whenever it comes time to make a decision -- whatever the coaches and the trainers feel like is the best for me.''
Asked if he had run with the burst he would in a game, McFadden said, ``If I haven't done it I feel like I've gotten pretty close to it. I'm just looking forward to whatever decisions the coaches and trainers make.''
Both McFadden and Rashad Jennings, also listed as questionable, were limited in practice all three days. In most cases, players who participate in practice throughout the week even if limited wind up playing on Sunday.
``I watched him all week in practice,'' Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. ``I like where he's at. I feel good about where he's at. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. But I think every day he's gotten a little bit better.''
Also listed as questionable were linebacker Kaluka Maiava (hamstring), defensive tackle Stacy McGee (shoulder) and right tackle Tony Pashos (shoulder). Running back Marcel Reece (knee) is probable.
Listed as out were center Stefen Wisniewski (knee), tackle Menelik Watson (calf) and strong safety Tyvon Branch (ankle). Branch is still on crutches but was not wearing a protective boot.

A woman lifted high into the air, her huge white skirt fanning out before her. A man soaring up to the rafters, bird-like, his arms outstretched. A woman rising and falling amid a shower of snow.
These are some of the enchanting images conjured by 'Bianco', the latest show from the British contemporary circus company NoFit State. They've been peddling their brand of large-scale aerial adventure, marrying acrobatics with clowning, physical theatre and live music since 1986. And they've done that staying true to their original strolling-player principles, with the company living and travelling together as a community.
This breeds a sense of togetherness that's palpable throughout this lengthy, ambitious show. It's a promenade performance, presented on and around sets of scaffolding that need continual rearranging: technicians and performers scurry among the audience, urging people to move out of the way, while busily fixing ropes and rivets.
The performers are undoubtedly talented – every move is attacked with gusto, and the live band do sterling work. But the continual rearranging of the set is distracting for the audience, and it's difficult to see quite what else the promenade setting adds – you could watch all the aerial stunts perfectly well from banks of seating, and some of the ground-level work is barely visible to those at the back of the crowd.
There's precious little narrative, too, to weld together the arresting visual imagery – and some of it is delivered, bewilderingly, in French and Portuguese. Laura Barnett

Jermain Taylor will "definitely" return to the ring on Showtime on Dec. 30 at The Verizon Arena in his hometown of Little Rock, Ark., RingTV.com has learned. The former undisputed middleweight champ will do so at his original weight of 160 pounds, according to sources familiar with discussions between the fighter and the network.
"Definitely on Dec. 30, definitely on Showtime, definitely at 160, but there is no opponent yet," said one source, adding that Taylor will likely be re-united with long-time trainer Pat Burns.
"Pat Burns is training him, and Jermain is ready to fight anybody in that weight class. He's hungry. The next year, 2012, is going to be a great big year for Jermain Taylor."
The 33-year-old boxer-puncher has faced 12 world champions in his last 13 bouts, is the owner of two victories over Bernard Hopkins and had a draw with former champion Winky Wright.
However, Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KOs) has lost four of his past five bouts and three of them by knockout, including the last two straight, which took place in the super middleweight division. Taylor was last in the ring against Germany's Arthur Abraham, who stopped him in the 12th round of their October 2009 bout, which was part of Showtime's Super Six World Super Middleweight Classic.
After losing to Abraham, Taylor was hospitalized for a few days in Germany, where he received a CT Scan and an MRI as well as other testing. Taylor was diagnosed with a concussion, short-term memory loss and bleeding on the brain. He subsequently pulled out of the Super Six tournament in January.
But Taylor was approved and licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission last month following a lengthy hearing.
"Mr. Taylor has undergone extensive additional testing including multiple MRI and MRA scans, neuropsychological testing, evaluation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and evaluation at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health here in Las Vegas," stated Dr. Timothy J. Trainor, a commission consultant who supported Taylor's reinstatement.
"He has been examined by both neurologists and neurosurgeons. All of these evaluations have demonstrated him to be medically fit to compete in boxing."
In a letter to the commission, Trainor wrote that he "thoroughly reviewed the comprehensive medical records pertaining to combatant Jermain Taylor" before recommending that he be licensed.
Although Trainor acknowledged Taylor's "history of a subdural hematoma following a boxing match in Germany" against Abraham, he also indicated that Taylor's "current cerebral MRA and MRI are normal."
Trainor also referred to a meeting of the NSAC medical advisory panel on Sept. 22 "to discuss the medical safety of Mr. Taylor continuing his boxing career."
"The conclusion of the [panel] was that it would be medically safe to grant Mr. Taylor a boxing license," Trainor wrote. "Therefore, I am confident…that this combatant is medically cleared for unarmed combat."
As a result, Taylor was approved last month by a 5-0 vote for a boxing license by the commission, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer, who added that Taylor was accompanied by adviser Al Haymon at the hearing.
Taylor was 27-0-1 with 17 knockouts before being stopped in seven rounds by Kelly Pavlik in Sept. 2007. Taylor also lost his non-title rematch with Pavlik by unanimous decision in February of 2008, when they each weighed 164 pounds.
Taylor entered the bout with Abraham following a 12th-round knockout loss to England's WBC super middleweight titleholder Carl Froch in April of 2009, which he led on two of the three judges cards before being stopped cold with 14 seconds left.

When you go to highschool do u try out for the freshmen team and from there the coaches on the high school varsity watch you play basketball and if ur good put you on there team
i dont know how it works in your school but around my area you have to try out for the specific team to be on that team and if your really good and someone gets hurt during the season for varsity they might move someone up.
When I played, at my school,you tried out for all three teams. It was a giant tryout and based on your skill level they would placeon what ever team. If you were good enough you made varsity, if you were good but needed work you made Junior Varsity. If you were a Freshmen and were'nt good enough for either team, then obviously you made the Freshmen team. I made JV as a Freshmen, made Varsity Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, I will be playing ball at a D2 college this year.
It depends on your school..
Nervous about tryouts?? You will learn and perfect great drills by checking out www.AimHighHoops.com for their new exciting model for player development. The Pure Shooting training DVD is endorsed by state championship coaches as well Cleveland Cavalier 3PTsharpshooter Anthony Parker. Top notch content at a very reasonable price!
At my school the head coach would put underclassmen ( 9th and 10th ) on one side and juniors and seniors on the other side. then the assistant coach watched us play and the head coach watched the Juniors and Seniors. after like 2 hours of drills the best upperclassmen and like 3 of the best underclassmen would scrimmage.
u try out for the freshman team then if your good enough your be put on varsity
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy
You tryout for the team and then after freshman year you probably have to try out agian for JV if needed.

Style Source: Spring 2013
Trends From Surya
Founded in India in 1976 by Surya Tiwari, who helped American retailers source high-quality rugs and other furnishings in India, Surya has grown to employ 50,000 weavers who work alongside world-class designers to provide innovative goods to retailers across the globe. Each season brings new pieces inspired by everything from Surya's travels around the world to the latest designer fashions on the runways. Some of our favorite trends this season include:
Coastal Mod
By combining modish motifs with beachy colors, Surya creates rugs and accessories that create a relaxed contemporary seaside vibe. Paired with light woods, summer-weight linens, and sunny accents, you just might be able to transform your apartment into a beach house this spring. We love having a "summer rug" like these and a warmer, high-pile "winter rug" (or you could even buy one for each season!) to transform rooms on a seasonal basis.
Fade Out
Ombre (a dying technique in which one color slowly fades into another, or slowly fades out) has recently been showing up in runway fabrics and even on celebrity hairdos. Surya brings this trend to home decor with a variety of rugs, throws, and art featuring color gradients and fading tones. We love how these brand-new rugs and accessories can add an antique layer to a room.
Mood Indigo
Falling between deep blue and violet, one of our favorite colors making a comeback this spring is indigo. Surya's collection includes pillows, poufs, and rugs in this versatile shade. Though it may be moody on it's own, we love seeing indigo alongside bright pinks, greens, oranges, and bright shades of blue for a fresh preppy look that is perfect for spring. If your decor includes bright accent colors that pop out against a largely neutral backdrop, definitely consider integrating a vast swath of indigo to add some depth while still showing off vibrant accents.

ALAMEDA -- The Raiders boarded a plane for New Jersey on Friday minus three starters and three key backups, making their task of beating the New York Giants all the more difficult.
Running back Darren McFadden, strong safety Tyvon Branch and right offensive tackle Tony Pashos are among the six players the Raiders left behind so that they can rehabilitate their injuries.
Same goes for nickel back D.J. Hayden, who suffered a groin injury in practice Wednesday, wide receiver Juron Criner and backup right tackle Matt McCants.
Rashad Jennings will start in place of McFadden, who aggravated a hamstring injury against the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday.
Rookie Menelik Watson will make his first NFL regular-season start at right tackle. The Raiders will sign offensive lineman Jack Cornell from their practice squad and place him on the 53-man roster as insurance, coach Dennis Allen said.
The Giants are fresh from back-to-back victories, as well as having a week off, while the Raiders are bouncing back from a 49-20 defeat to the Eagles. Allen said he is confident that the Raiders can purge the bitter taste from their mouths.
"We've had a good week of practice, they're mentally ready to go and now we got to go out on Sunday and execute," Allen said. "We got to do our job and we got to do it fast. This team's ready to play."

spend a night drinking excess amounts of rum & coke until you throw up all over yourself and pass out. you'll probably stay away from the stuff for a while.
If that doesn't work, do what I did. Think about how disgusting that shit is and how bad it is to drink it everyday, and start drinking water and juice.

Service Learning
What is Service Learning?
Service learning is a teaching and learning method that promotes student learning through active participation in meaningful and planned service experiences in the community that have a focus on critical reflective thinking as well as personal and civic responsibility. Service Learning can be either connected to course content or co-curricular in nature.
Benefits of Service Learning
- Emphasizes active learning in different environments.
- Allows students to see and experience the relationship between theory and practice.
- Links academic study to community service through structured reflection.
- Engages students in meaningful service benefiting the community.
- Provides students with opportunities to use newly acquired skills and knowledge in real-life situations
Service Learning at CCSF
The Office of Mentoring and Service Learning offers Service Learning
opportunities in a myriad of ways. We sponsor several academic courses
with service learning components. We also sponsor campus-based
service projects. Finally, our newest program sponsors stuednts to
complete civic engagement internships in the San Francisco community.

The Brostock-Lake Race-Cannonball weekend was huge for the lake.
Events rolled down the lake like a wave — Lake Race, Canine Cannonball and Brostock drew big crowds and created a real sense of excitement. Each was an important draw for locals and visitors alike.
It is unknown how many dog-jumping enthusiasts are boat-race fans or if many excited wakeboard aficionados are also interested in the athletic abilities of man's best friend or vice versa but we wonder if having all these great events on the same weekend is perfect scheduling.
While each is a private entity and not subject to any central organizational structure, it seems that scheduling three hugely popular events on the same weekend may be less desirable than stretching out the fun.
Perhaps there is some place for a coordination of events that would spread the joy across two or even three weekends.
That might be good for the private sponsors of the events and for the lake economy generally.
While it certainly develops a sense of real excitement to have so much going on at once, it is impossible to be two places at the same time and there then is left kind of a post-holiday lull that might be better filled by different scheduling.
With a year to go before the next round of fun, we believe it may be worth thinking about stretching these fine events across the calendar.

A reception from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday celebrates the opening of an exhibition of work by Alice Weil at the Portola Art Gallery. "Back to Her Roots" brings together Weil's oil and acrylic landscapes of the California hills.
The works are new paintings that reflect Weil's long-standing passion for the majestic oaks and rolling hills of the Bay Area. She wants the viewer to reflect on the power of the landscape but also to be transported to a "quiet, relaxed place."
She is a member of the Oil Painters of America, Los Gatos Art Association, the Society of Western Artists and the Bay Area Contemporary Plein Air Circle.
Weil's show will be on view through Feb. 28. The Portola Art Gallery is at the Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Call 650-321-0220 or go to www.portolaartgallery.com.
Only natural
"Our Natural World," a show of works by artists of the Peninsula Chapter of Women's Caucus for Art, opens Wednesday at the Twin Pines Art Center. A reception will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 9.
Among the artists is Marian Yap, who is showing her painting "Ginkgo." It's from her series of haiku threads, which began with her interest in spools discarded from the millinery industry where her father worked.
Leigh Toldi is addressing the California drought with her painting "West of Dry Mountain." She has infused the work with "pigments of spirited green," which she says introduce "a symbolic hopefulness about the future."
The exhibit is presented through Feb. 28. It is curated by Nancee McDonell. The Twin Pines Art Center is at 10 Twin Pines Lane, Belmont. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Call 650-591-2101 or go to http://peninsulawca.blogspot.com/.
Large scale installation
A reception from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday celebrates the opening of the large-scale vinyl mural installation "64/72" at the Cañada College Art Gallery. The work is by the artistic duo t.w.five, which brings together Brazilian artist Paula Pereira and Swedish artist Pernilla Andersson.
The artists note that their work "most often investigates the experience of culture shock and the impact of technology on relationships by using images that appear very graphic from a distance but are abstract and complex up close."
You can see the exhibition through March 6. Admission is free. Cañada College is at 4200 Farm Hill Blvd., Redwood City. Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Call the college's Humanities and Social Sciences Department at 650-306-3336 or go to www.canadacollege.edu.
Three walks
Woven, dyed and felted interpretations of Anne Lamborn's three walks on Spain's Camino de Santiago de Compostela are presented in "Time and Again, Weaving the Walk," which opens Tuesday at Gallery House. A reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb 7.
Lamborn's walks took place in 2011, 2012 and 2013. She finds that the walking was as important to her as seeing the merged and layered cultural motifs and later her creation of art.
The show will be on view through March 2. Gallery House is at 320 S. California Ave., Palo Alto. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. Call 650-326-1668.
Juried abstractions
A reception from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Feb 7 celebrates the opening of two new exhibitions at the Pacific Art League of Palo Alto: "Abstractions" and "Stamps on Paper."
"Abstractions" is a juried show of 40 2-D and 3-D works by 31 California artists. The works were selected by Jan Rindelfleisch, an artist, educator, curator and author. The exhibit is presented in PAL's Main Gallery.
In the Glass Gallery is a show of work by PAL printmakers. "Stamps on Paper" features works by Servane Briand, Sunny Chen, Suhita Shirodkar, Caroll Woods, Amy Tang and Katherine Kain as well as PAL instructor Mario Rosales.
The shows will be on view through Feb. 28. PAL is at 227 Forest Ave., Palo Alto. Gal lery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Admission is free. Call 650-321-3891 or go to www.PacificArtLeague.org.
