The 2010 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi volleyball team reported on Friday for the first official day of team activities. The Islanders are meeting with the compliance officers in the afternoon and will follow that up by taking physicals in the new athletic training facility located in Island Hall.
Head coach Tony Graystone and his coaching staff welcomes the 10 newcomers to the Island along with the five returnees ahead of the start of practice on Monday morning. The Islanders will kick off activities at 8 a.m. on Monday with a run, followed by the first practice of the year shortly after 10 a.m.
"This is kind of the big weekend, all the parents are in town dropping the players off and saying goodbye while we do all the last minute preparation," said Graystone. "It's a good time of year and we're just trying to get through the weekend so we can get on the court Monday."
Following the first day on Monday, the team will practice starting at 9 a.m. and again at 5 p.m. during the next two weeks as it prepares for the season opener on Aug. 27, against Montana in the Mississippi State Maroon Classic. Until then, the Islanders will be working tirelessly to come together as a group while the newcomers learn the system.
"We will be really process oriented in the beginning and hopefully get more into game stuff and get more results oriented quickly," said Graystone. "That's just going to depend how quickly the players can get acclimated to our system and we can get them all on the same page.
"The important thing during preseason is that you don't skip steps, we have to keep hammering away to get it right before we move on to something else."

EDGEWATER, Fla., July 22, 2008 -- Boston Whaler® is introducing three innovative new boats for 2009 in its popular Outrage® line. First introduced in 1970, Boston Whaler's Outrage family is known for some of the most capable center console offshore fishing boats on the water. The family is composed of six boats from 19 to 32 feet, now including the new 220, 250 and 280 models. These aren't merely upgraded or upsized models -- they've been thoroughly redesigned from the hull up for superior performance, fishability and comfort, and with a host of useful features. These Outrages are bigger and better than ever, with wide beams for tremendous spaciousness and superior layout for more storage and comfort, while still delivering the Whaler legend: Unsinkability. In short, the ultimate fishing experience.
At 22 feet, 5 inches, the new 220 model is small enough to trailer, but fast and tough enough to bring big water down to size. Once its on the water, its a powerhouse. With an all-new running surface and Mercury® outboard choices ranging from the standard 225-hp engine to an optional 300-hp VeradoTM, the 220 delivers exceptional performance and a smooth, dry ride. As youd expect from an Outrage, its full-featured from the start, and abundantly roomy. Theres a generous 26 inches of interior freeboard and enough space for ten people to head out to blue water. And from a choice of fishing packages to a comfort package and electronics packages, the long list of options and accessories means owners can rig the 220 any way they want. The rugged new 250 and 280 models sport the sleek and purposeful lines of an Outrage, now punctuated by a new innovation. As the inventor of center console design, Whaler has invented it all over again with its exclusive integrated hardtop / windshield system, standard on the 280 and available as an option on the 250. This sturdy structure, reminiscent of a pilot house, encloses the console on three sides to provide weather protection, with integrated frame legs for more space and snag-free boating. It features a beautiful, custom powder-coated frame, bonded glass and no exposed fasteners for a clean appearance. Of course, these are full-bore fishing machines, teeming with features like a deluxe bait prep center, tackle storage and new, optional fold-down trolling seats. As youd imagine, the list of notable options and accessories goes on and on. Outrages have been special from the start, according to Ron Berman, Whalers vice president of product development and engineering. In 1970, when one of our vendors saw the banana-shaped hull and external vertical ribs of the first prototype, he shouted, Thats Outrageous! The name stuck, and Outrages have set the standard for offshore center consoles ever since. With these innovative new models, I think weve raised the bar a lot higher. ABOUT BOSTON WHALER Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Edgewater, Fla., Boston Whaler is a business unit of Brunswicks Outboard Boat Group.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — Senate Democrats trimmed their sales tax increase Friday in hopes of securing House support of their plan for raising revenue for the state's deficit-scarred budget.
On a 25-18 vote, the Senate approved a $717.7 million tax package that is about $100 million less than what cleared the chamber in the regular session. It now goes to the House for consideration. Late Friday night, the House was expected to discuss its own tax increase proposal.
That slimming down of revenues comes from scaling back the sales tax increase to two-tenths of a cent, from the three-tenths in the original package. As originally proposed, the increase would be in effect for three years.
Also Friday, Senate Democrats agreed to exempt real estate agents, hospitals and research and development firms from paying the higher tax rate on businesses contained in the proposal.
"To me it is less hurtful," said Sen. Jean Berkey, D-Everett. "I think what we did today is give the House something they can look at and show we are trying to meet their needs and trying to come together. Now the ball is in their court."
Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, the chamber's chief negotiator with the House on taxes, agreed.
"This shows where we could find 25 votes," he said. "Hopefully this keeps the discussion going."
As the Legislature begins the sixth day of its special session, an agreement continues to elude the House, Senate and Gov. Chris Gregoire on how to plug a $2.8 billion hole in the budget that runs through June 2011.
Democrats, as the majority party, are the ones trying to hammer out deals on the amount of spending to cut, reserves to tap, transfers to make from other funds and new money to collect from taxes.
On the matter of taxes, the House and Senate have settled on a target of $800 million.
Both endorse a $1-per-pack boost in the cigarette tax to cover roughly $90 million of the total. They also agree to end several exemptions, close some loopholes and start charging sales tax on bottled water.
The biggest bone of contention is the sales tax: The Senate counts on it, but the House doesn't have in its package, which stood at $680 million on Friday.
For the Senate, the temporary sales tax increase accounts for the largest single chunk of new revenue: $313 million originally, and presumably a third less than that now. The Senate plan calls for providing cash rebates to low-income families who qualify for the federal earned income tax credit.
Sen. Rosa Franklin, D-Tacoma, sponsored the amendment reducing the size of the increase and to make the entire package "more palatable."
Republicans, meanwhile, are pretty much bystanders to the process. That didn't prevent them Friday from voicing disapproval.
Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, the ranking Republican on the Senate budget committee, said the decision to exempt several professions from paying a higher tax shows that Democrats recognize the harm their proposal will bring.
"I still think it's bad for businesses, bad for jobs and bad for the public," he said.
Gregoire said Friday there's been plenty of movement between the House and Senate on a final budget and tax package.
"I am hearing them making good progress. And I am going to encourage that progress be made, only at a faster speed," she said.
She sounded resigned to the Legislature's inability to conclude the special session by Sunday, as she requested.
"It's going to be very hard to get that done, and I am absolutely disappointed," she said.

Christie Gives Read on Romney Speech
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave his own read on presidential candidate Mitt Romney's big convention speech later this week, and told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he believes Mr. Romney will win the presidential election. Mr. Christie was reacting to a report in the New York Post that he didn't want to join the Romney ticket in part because he thought they would lose.
"I think he's gonna win," Mr. Christie said, according to excerpts of the show released ahead of its airing Wednesday.
Mr. Christie also talked about his preparations for his own address, set for Tuesday night. "[M]ost of the time I think about what it is I want to talk about and then I get up there and I talk about it. Now, with the time restrictions here and obviously the different stage, they want you to work off a text and that's fine."
Looking ahead to Mr. Romney's speech Thursday, Mr. Christie said that Mr. Romney has proven himself to be conservative enough for the party, and will need to appeal to mainstream voters. "He's going to be nominated. So the majority of the party thinks he's good enough, conservative enough, in line with the principles of the party. … But it's going to come down to the major speeches in this convention and are those speeches and the things that we talk about — are they going to appeal to the mainstream of the country. And I think Gov. Romney's speech being the most important one."

Prodigal Christianity Part 1
The new book by Fitch & Holsclaw is called Prodigal Christianity. It uses Luke's Prodigal Parables (Luke 15) as a metaphor for Christian ministry in a postmodern world. I attended a conversation about the book at Northern Seminary in Lombard, Illinois. The authors presented a brief outline of the text and then took questions from those present. (Yes, I asked a question…)
The book presents 10 Signposts for the Missional Frontier and shares 7 Behaviors the church should engage in as we navigate these signposts. Certain chapters look like they will be very exciting. David Fitch has been part of the missional church conversation for a long time. Like me, he found some really good energy in the early Emergent conversations as well. However, the last several years have seen the Emergent group head off in directions which are no longer satisfying. In so many of those models, the church and the gospel seem to collapse into Postmodernism. There's no good news and no reason for the church to gather. So Fitch has come back to the Missional term as more descriptive. He believes strongly in the church as the place where the Spirit is most active. The community formed there is God's agent of change in our world. I couldn't agree more. Fitch also rejects the extreme neo-reformed overreaction to Emergent and other groups. These folks have locked down the gospel so tightly, they've reduced it to a particular view of the atonement which is a fairly recent arrival in church history. The gospel is bigger than this. It's more than a set of religious beliefs to be argued. It is an experience, a way of life, a vision of justice, an agent of healing, and a transforming journey. For Fitch, this is a journey into what he calls the Far Country. As best I can tell the Far Country is a metaphor for this postmodern, post-Christendom world many North Americans find ourselves in. A world where fewer and fewer people give automatic authority to the Bible, to the Church, or to Christian positions on social issues. Christians have tended to just get absorbed into the Far Country, leaving the gospel behind, or have built enclaves where we hide out from the world until Jesus shows up to beam us up.
I like how Fitch doesn't want us to accept either one of those. Like the Prodigal God who leaves the 99 sheep, sweeps the whole house, and looks longingly for the return of his son, we can choose to "Go" like Jesus taught us to. But our "going" will look differently since we're in the Far Country and not 1957 Churched America. I like the questions Fitch is asking at the beginning of this book. I like that Ecclesiology (what we think about the Church) is at the forefront of how he's doing theology. It's the lens through which he understands the gospel and how to live it out. So, preaching and the sacraments are central to his theology and missional outlook. I love great theological conversations. But this is a piece that has been absent for some time… I'm excited to dive in, with no imagination that I won't find lots to disagree with along the way. But the Holy Spirit spoke to me at that gathering that there are some important things in this conversation which will speak directly to me and my church community as we also navigate uncharted territory in our culture…
Fitch is a CMA pastor (Wesleyan denomination similar to my own Nazarenes) teaching at a Baptist Seminary, who has Anabaptist leanings in how he views community, justice, and discernment. Now that's a lively mix. I'm also a pastor who teaches at a Christian university and enjoys dialogue. I'm intrigued to read on…
Update: Deep & Wide
The 2nd 50 pages have been full of surprises as well, but I've found more common ground with Stanley.
I like and have used the image he borrows from The Gospel of John "full of grace and truth." John uses it in chapter one to wrap up the Logos passage in describing the essence of Jesus. Stanley uses it as a mantra for ministry decisions. He says they are not driven by policies. Instead they have nearly endless conversations with people and make decisions. I have to say that those who advised me to setup policies so we don't get bogged down and criticized for decisions were not as "right" as I thought. Often the broken and messy situations in the lives of real people are our best opportunities for ministry. We need to get bogged down in the details. We need to engage with them where they are. I used to go by policies. Now I get involved.
I've gone to court to get someone released without bail. I've listened to couples describe situations they never taught me about in school. I've been lied to, used, rejected, and blamed. I've also been loved. Most importantly I've learned to do better at making sure people see the fullness of grace and truth as we understand it. I've tried to teach our leaders the same and they've reminded, challenged and taught me as well. And this was quite a process o transformation. It's still a work in progress.
So I really resonated with Stanley's big picture here. He's done a far better job on a bigger scale of developing a place that lives with these real ministry tensions, especially on issues of homosexuality and divorce.
But then he throws out his procedure on baptism and frankly it's just wrong. He says on page 81: "You have to allow us to video record a three-minute version of your story to be shown on Sunday morning in order to be baptized. No video, no baptism. We don't have any verses to support that. But baptism is central to our worship and arguably our most powerful evangelism tool."
It's this kind of stuff that keeps popping up. Stuff where even the sacraments must submit to promotional convenience. And all his talk of messy truth gets undermined. I've done video, audio, written and live testimonies. We've worked hard to let the reality of the person's story and of the gospel dictate the format. Public? Yes. Profession of faith? You better believe it. But some people have aspects of their journey which make video a personal challenge too great to overcome. And it basically weds baptism to a certain technology. I'm an early adopter of tech, but I can't swallow this one. I loved his example stories. Some of them were incredibly similar to ones I've had the joy of participating in. But too many stories are edited out for non-biblical reasons. This causes me to question a lot. Can you tell I'm stoked by this one?
But…still it's only 100 pages in. Now we're arriving on the doorstep of Spiritual Formation. This is what I came for. I'll extend grace and get off my high horse to see what I can learn in Section Three: Going Deep. Rethinking Spiritual Formation.
Thanks for reading.
Ashes to Ice
Today we had a great worship experience as part of Ashes to Fire. After the sermon, where we received a new church member by profession of faith, we moved through three prayer stations reflecting on needed change in our lives.
First, we sat by candlelight and considered areas of temptation we're facing right now. Most people wrote down areas of testing. Then we moved into the darkness. No lights. We sat and reflected on negative ways we cope with testing. These don't lead us toward God. They don't really help at all. In order to grow we must make the choice to leave these behind.
When people were ready, they moved into the light, kneeling at the altar and praying Psalm 25 to the Lord. It was powerful to see people taking tangible steps toward God. There was a strong godly presence in the light.
Then a bunch of us went ice skating! Church life can be like that. We just gave the ashes of past sinful patterns to God. Now we were floating on ice to rhythm of happier music.
Ashes to ice. It's not a bad place to begin the journey. Can't wait for the FIRE!!!

MUMBAI: Former SpiceJet CEO Sanjay Aggarwal is tipped to join the Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines in October as a senior member of the management team. A formal announcement of the same is likely after the Kingfisher annual general meeting in Bangalore on Thursday, according to a company official.
Mr Aggarwal stepped down as the CEO of SpiceJet in July soon after Southern media magnet Kalanithi Maran acquired a 37.7% stake in the Gurgaon-based low-cost airline. The decision of SpiceJet's reconstituted board to hire Neil Mills of FlyDubai as the new head for SpiceJet is believed to have quickened his exit from the company. Mr Aggarwal joined SpiceJet in 2008 after US billionaire Wilbur Ross invested $80 million. Mr Aggarwal is widely believed to have played a significant role in the turnaround of SpiceJet which made a profit in 2010 after a few turbulent years.

A committee formed by the commissioner of Major League Baseball to study the Oakland A's stadium dilemma met for the first time with Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums and other city officials Tuesday morning.
"It was an excellent meeting," Dellums said afterward. "We've begun an excellent dialogue. We've agreed to meet on a regular basis and our hope is that we will come to some fruition at some point down the line. ... Obviously, on our side, we want to keep the Oakland A's."
Commissioner Bud Selig formed the committee late last month after receiving a letter from Dellums and City Council president Jane Brunner, saying they were committed to developing a stadium for the team in Oakland and asking for help developing a ballpark strategy to keep the team here.
The team's lease at the Coliseum expires in 2010, and owner Lew Wolff is seeking to move the team elsewhere. A plan to move the A's to Fremont recently fell through.
MLB committee members Bob Starkey, Corey Busch and Irwin Raij — all experts in ballpark development — met for an hour and a half with Dellums, his chief of staff David Chai and councilmembers Larry Reid (Elmhurst-East Oakland) and Ignacio De La Fuente (Glenview-Fruitvale) to analyze the efforts made so far in crafting a stadium deal in Oakland and the feasibility of trying anew.
Dellums has not yet finalized the local A's stadium committee, said Paul Rose, the mayor's spokesman.

After a rocky 2012 for technology companies coming to the market, which left Groupon, Zynga and Facebook bruised, no one wants to rush towards an IPO in 2013 and particularly not Twitter, which finished the year strong after its role in the US presidential election.
When it does make the leap it could well be, as some have put it, the IPO of the decade. It is currently valued between $8bn and $11bn and could easily accelerate beyond that figure if 2013 continues in the same vein as 2012 and it continues to follow the revenue trail and build its social advertising business on the web and crucially in the mobile space.
The 2014 date is by no means certain. The latest mention comes in a report by Greencrest Capital, which studies companies that are probable IPO candidates, and it suggests Twitter's preparations for a public debut may begin this year giving it 12 months to build and the economy to improve before an offering in 2014.
According to Greencrest Capital breadcrumbs suggesting that a Twitter IPO might come in 2014 include recent personnel moves such as Ali Rowghani's appointment as chief operating officer — a key position in any IPO. Rowghani was previously chief financial officer having joined from Pixar Animation Studios where he was CFO and senior VP of strategic planning.
Add to that the hiring at the end of 2012 of Zynga's treasurer Mike Gupta. He joined Twitter, with his IPO background at the social games company, to take on the CFO role vacated by Rowghani. He was at Yahoo prior to that.
The key question, other than the date itself, is the valuation. What is Twitter the all conquering social media stream worth?
Previously Twitter had been valued as high as $1obn. After Facebook came to market that figure was revised down to around $8bn, but it has been creeping up again and Max Wolff, senior analyst and chief economist, at Greencrest says now the figure could be as high as $11bn.
"Using the secondary market for shares to mark enterprise value is a very difficult and opaque process. It is a rumour rich.
"That said, Twitter is up since the Facebook IPO and is now valued at northward of $11B. This makes sense as growth in users and new monetization efforts are both yielding fruit and pointing toward a good 2013 for Twitter," Wolff told Forbes.
Talk of 2014 as the year Twitter will seek an IPO chimes with a report in October in the New York Times.
That piece, a backgrounder on Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, also suggested a possible IPO date of 2014 giving it time to develop revenues and for the markets to put thoughts about the problems surrounding Facebook and Zynga's disappointing IPO's behind them.
"Its next big step is to go public on the stock market, and insiders say the current goal is to have an initial public offering in 2014. Twitter's social media twin, Facebook, has already gone public, of course — and, so far, Facebook stockholders have lost billions, at least on paper. Facebook's troubled I.P.O. hangs over the technology industry as a cautionary tale of how investors can become star-struck.
"Mr. Costolo didn't found Twitter. Jack Dorsey, Christopher Stone and Evan Williams did. But today Mr. Costolo is essentially running the business alone, and friends and colleagues say he is eager to build the company," the New York Times reports.
What else can we expect in 2013 from Twitter? One thing that is going to be interesting to watch is how its new new photo filters perform particularly as Instagram, offering a helping hand, stumbles after it sparked user anger with changes to its terms and services.
Facebook-owned Instagram is reported to have lost as many as 25% of its daily active users since people expressed their displeasure over the terms of service change, according to tracking from AppData.
We can also expect to see another spurt of growth in the number of brands using its Promoted Products in 2013, which it worked to improve last year with new targeting capabilities and news of impressive performance in how Promoted Tweets were performing on mobile — achieving more than 40% in terms of engagement.
You can see how some what some brands tried on Twitter in with Twitter's Top Ten List of Promoted Product campaigns for 2012.

I owed a friend a lunch, and he wanted to go to 96th Street Steakburgers (cheap date right?)so I figured it was a good time for a revisit. This time I spent a little more time looking over the menu before ordering my usual burger and toppings and went with one of their signature styles (they call them "stylized" burgers.) I decided to go with the "monster style" which is a take off of the In 'n Out "animal style" if I am not mistaken.
So the monster style means the bun is grilled with mustard and the burger includes grilled onions, both things I like, although for some reason, I don't usually order my burger with mustard. I also had cheese and pickles and a side of fries. The burger was really tasty and was cooked just the way I like it—thin and with nice crispy edges from the grill. I was much more impressed with this burger than I was the first time I had one. It probably also helped that I ate it there this time and it was piping hot.
I liked the mustard grilled on the bun—there was plenty of mustard on it, but cooking a little mellowed the flavor a bit. The flavor of the onions was good—but the onions were a large slice out of an onion with a bunch of rings, which made them a little annoying to eat, because they would stick out of your mouth when you tried to take a bite. I prefer them chopped up a little so you don't have strings of onion hanging down your chin. I pulled a few of them off so at least I wasn't making a total mess. The pickles are also tasty—thick cut and the not overly pickled kind (although I like both kinds). These were more the type in which you can still recognize them as having once been a cucumber. A good burger over all. I liked it.
Their fries are hand cut and fried, and are pretty good. Thinner than most, although not quite shoestring thin. They are cooked pretty dark and have a decent flavor. They were nice and crispy (better than when I had them to go last time). Nothing amazing in my mind, but an adequate accompaniment to the burger.
So it had been awhile since I had been, so obviously I hadn't rushed back since my last review, but I am glad my friend suggested it, because it was tasty.

A classical problem facing many software projects is determining when to stop testing and release the product for use. Risk analysis helps address this issue by balancing the risk exposure of doing too little with the risk exposure of doing too much. A quantitative approach based on the COCOMO II cost-estimation model and the COQUALMO quality-estimation model helps answer the question, "How much software quality investment is enough?" The authors use the models and some representative empirical data to assess the relative payoff of value-based testing as compared to value-neutral testing. They include examples of the approach's use under differing value profiles.

Q: We have a problem keeping a silicone seal around our bathtub. It seems to constantly crack, turn black and look generally ugly. There must be a better solution.
A: The solution is simply that the caulking has to be properly applied in order to get a good seal.
First, carefully remove the bulk of the old silicone seal with a razor blade or utility knife. Remove any remaining residue using silicone sealer remover, then rinse well and allow to dry thoroughly. Wipe with methyl hydrate.
Fill the bathtub with water right up to the overflow. The weight of the water in the tub will preload the tub to its lowest point in order to allow the area between the tub and
the wall to open to its fullest.
Run a piece of masking tape along the tub edge and the ceramic tile edge leaving a three-eighths-inch opening.
Fill the opening with bathtub silicone seal, smoothing it on to the masking tape with a dampened finger. When you have finished applying the seal, pull off the tape, but leave the water in the tub for 12 hours.
If you are resealing a shower stall, place something such as heavy books on the base to simulate the weight of the water.
Note: Make sure you purchase silicone sealer that is designated for bathrooms. Do not use latex tub and tile seal.
Q: I have a beautiful antique table that is a cherished family heirloom. Unfortunately, someone set a glass on the top and it left a white stain. I am hoping you have a remedy to restore this lovely table.
A: Wood furniture from years gone by does not have the resistance to water that the new urethane plastic finishes of today do. Older furniture items were finished with varnish and lacquers and through the years, probably have had many coats of wax applied to keep that warm wood finish looking nice.
Placing hot or cold cups or glasses on the table can leave a white water stain because of the wax residual.
These marks are frustrating, but can be removed.
Using 0000 super-fine steel wool or 400-grit sandpaper, break the surface of the finish until it looks dusty. Make a mixture of half water and half white vinegar, and using a soft bristle brush, apply it to the area.
Let sit for one minute, then scrub with the brush and blot with a soft towel. When the stain vanishes, apply a coat of tinted-to-match carnauba- based furniture wax, available at wood finishing stores.

The instructors don't care about teaching the students up to industry standards. Some of them have never even worked in a salon and the ones that have only have a year or less experience. They don't teach proper techniques because they themselves do not know them. After doing some more research I found out that most of their graduates can not be employed in a salon due to the poor education they got. I should have just flushed $20,000 down the drain and it would have been better spent. The most alarming thing is when you call them they just don't care.

Leonardo, inspired by the mathematician Vitruvius (Roman, 1st century BCE), drew this famous picture of Vitruvian Man — a sort of ideal figure — whose arm span is equal to his height — a ratio of one, or 1:1. See a page with a math lesson plan for grades 6-8, as well as articles on drawing, humanism, and Renaissance.

rational - Consistent with or based on reason; logical. This is relative to several factors, including context; as, for instance, in a culture whose thinking is classical, idealizing, or scientific.
rattan - A plant, and all materials derived from it — primarily cane and reed — have been used largely in the production of baskets and wicker furniture. It is obtained from such areas as as China, Southeast Asia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Its earliest use in basketry has been dated to the third millennium BCE. Rattan has been used as the framework for wicker furniture since the mid-19th century, although most wicker from the 1870s-1940s was made with a wooden structure.
Rattan is both a vine and a palm, known to grow along the ground and up into jungle trees, reaching lengths of up to 600 feet and diameters of up to four inches. Rattan has a thorny bark that must be removed to reveal the inner skin, from which cane is made, with a naturally glossy surface. Reed comes from the pithy core of rattan.
(pr. rə-TAN)
Also see bamboo, dowel, raffia, and rush.
ray - A thin line or narrow beam of light, or a representation of such a straight line. A structure or part having the form of a straight line extending from a point; and when there are several such lines extending from one point, they may be said to radiate from that point, as points radiate from a star.
Also see actino-, circle, girandole, incident light, light, radial balance, radius, reflection, refraction, and surface.
rayograph - In the work of Man Ray (American, 1890-1977), a photogram.
Rayonism - A type of abstract or semi-abstract painting characterized by the fragmentation of forms into masses of slanting lines. It was practised from 1912-1914 by Natalya S. Goncharova (Russian-French, 1881-1962), Mikhail Larionov (Russian-French, 1881-1964), and a few other Russian painters. Larionov's manifesto on Rayonism stated that it is a synthesis of Cubism, Futurism, and Orphism." Aspects of each of those isms can indeed be seen in Rayonist paintings — Cubism's breaking up of forms, Futurism's movement of forms, and Orphism's rich color. In addition, the Rayonists expounded a theory that objects emitted invisible rays which the painters could manipulate to their own purposes. "The rays which emanate from the objects and cross over one another give rise to rayonist forms. The artist transforms these by bending them to his desire for aesthetic expression." Goncharova and Larionov often applied the paint in their Rayonist works with palette knives.
Also called "Rayonnism," "Rayism," and, in Russian, "Luchism."
Natalya S. Goncharova (Russian, 1881-1962), Green Forest, 1912, oil on canvas.

rayonnant - The "radiant" style in thirteenth century architecture that is associated with the royal Paris court of Louis IX (1214-1270), the French king also known as Saint Louis.
readability - In typography and any written text, the degree to which it is legible. In any text, very rarely is the need to convey a style more important than it is to communicate its meaning. Although lettering should be attractive, readability is usually the most important factor in its design.
realgar - A particular red pigment.

realia - Material culture, or objects from real life, in contrast to those objects typically included in a collection. A piece of realia draws attention either because it is a common example of its kind — as an exemplum rather than as an exemplar — or because of associations with its previous owner. Some such objects might also be described as artifacts, ephemera, bric-a-brac, gewgaws, found objects, or memorabilia, but they are seldom prized for any qualities of their design, for their fine materials, or for the craftsmanship with which they were made.
Realia includes objects used by educators to help students to understand other cultures and real life situations. A teacher of a foreign language employs realia to strengthen students' associations between words for everyday objects and the objects themselves. Examples might include an apple, a shoe, a menu, a fork, a door, etc.
A library is more likely to prize realia for its associations with writers, subjects, or themes in the library's collection of media. The library at Yale prizes Eugene O'Neill's lighter, while Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's golf clubs gather dust at the U of Texas. The Bertrand Russell Archive at the McMaster U in Ontario hangs on to two Vietnam-era cluster bombs, deactivated but genuine. Such realia is akin to relics, memorabilia, and souvenirs. (What bookman wouldn't be thrilled to accession Ernest Hemingway's fishing rod or William Shakespeare's eraser! [Do you suppose he had one?!])
There is no singular form for this word, because realia refers to a group of or classification of things.
(pr. rə-YA-lee-ə)
ArtLex has yet to find citations of this term used by art writers, art gallery or museum staff. There are many citations of its use by librarians and educators.
"These unanticipated acquisitions are referred to in the trade [by librarians] variously as personal effects, ephemera, artifacts, memorabilia, and perhaps most evocatively, realia."
Lev Grossman, "Catalog This: Dante's dust, Poe's hair, Taft's underwear. Oh, my, what's a librarian to do?" April 14, 2002, New York Times, Education Life section, page 26.
Also see archetype, description, kitsch, memorabilia, memory, provenance, readymade, and simulation.
realism and Realism
ream - 500 sheets of paper.
rebate - In framing, this is the step-shaped cut in the reverse side of the molding which accepts the edge of the canvas, panel, etc.
rebus - Pictures or symbols presented as representing words, and often acting as a puzzle, usually for children.
(pr. REE-bəs)
David C. Lovelace (American, contemporary), What year was color TV first broadcast?, 1999. The puzzle begins with "W, nut minus the N, Y ear . . . . " See Dave's site about his art / cartoon / graphic design work at umop.com.
These images can be read as "B-E to B-I" — a rebus employed as the title of one page of ArtLex.
Also see children's art and mathematics and art.
recreation -
rectangle and rectangular
rectilinear and rectilineal - Moving in or forming a straight line. Also, characterized by straight lines. "Rectilinear" comes from the late Latin "rectilineus," which itself comes from the Latin words "rectus" ("straight") and "linea" ("line"). "Rectilineal" is a synonymous form of this word. Because "rectilineal" remains far less popular than its relative, writers might as well avoid it unless there's a need to rhyme with anneal.
(pr. REK-tə-LI-nee-ər and REK-tə-LI-nee-əl)
Also see lattice, linear, linear perspective, rectangle, and rectangular.
A term that is distantly related to rectilinear is "rectitude," the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.
recto - The front side of any work on paper. May also be the right-hand page of a book. The opposite of verso. The front and rear sides of other two-sided objects, such as coins, medals, or panels which have a painting on each side are more often referred to as obverse and reverse.
Also see numismatics.
red-figure - In later ancient Greek pottery, a technique in which red figures were silhouetted against a black background.
Greece, Attic, attributed to the Berlin Painter, Amphora, c. 490 BCE, Classical, red-figure, terra cotta, height 16 5/16 inches (41.50 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. On the obverse a young man sings as he plays the kithara; on the reverse is a judge. See amphora, black-figure, vase and vessel.
Greece, Attic, attributed to the Villa Giulia Painter, Kylix, c. 470 BCE, Classical, red-figure and white-ground, terra cotta, height 2 7/16 inches (6.2 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. On the interior, a goddess stands beside an altar, about to pour an offering from a phiale; on the exterior, obverse and reverse, Eos pursues Tithonos. See kylix.
Greece, South Italian (Apulian), attributed to the Group of Boston 00.348, Column-krater, c. 360-350 BCE, red-figure terra cotta, height 20 1/4 inches (51.51 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
reduction firing - A method of producing greater depth of color on a clay body by firing ceramics with reduced oxygen in the kiln.
reed - A natural, fibrous weaving material used in the production of baskets and wicker furniture. The inner pith of the rattan plant is called reed. Its grain makes its appearance similar to a wood. Reed has a certain brittle quality. It comes in various dimensions. Reed is more porous than cane, and will accept a stain, paint, lacquer or varnish.
Also see bamboo, cane and caning, furniture, raffia, and rush.
reflected color - The color perceived from an object, determined by the wavelength of the light leaving its surface after selective absorption of other wavelengths of the incident light — the light hitting the surface. Reflected light behaves in certain ways that differentiate it from colors produced by sources of the light. The concept of reflected color is related to that of subtractive color — color produced by mixing cyan, yellow and magenta pigments, each of which absorbs certain wavelengths. A balanced mixture of these colorant or subtractive primaries theoretically yields black since it absorbs all wavelengths of visible light.
Also see additive, local color, optical mixing, and primary colors.
reflection, reflected image - An image given back by a reflecting surface, such as that of a mirror or still waters. Each ray of light that hits a surface is an incident ray of light. Rays that are neither absorbed, nor reflected, are scattered rays of light. A person sees a clearer reflection when a high number and percentage of rays are reflected, and a small number of rays are either absorbed or scattered.
Examples of art in which reflection is important:
George Caleb Bingham (American, 1811-1879), Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, c. 1845, oil on canvas, 29 x 36 1/2 inches (73.7 x 92.7 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
William Morris Hunt (American, 1824-1879), Governor's Creek, Florida, 1874, oil on canvas, 25 x 39 inches, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, CA.
Claude Monet French, 1840-1926, The Seine at Port-Villez, 1894, oil on canvas, 65.4 x 100.3 cm, Tate Gallery, London. See Impressionism.
Thomas Eakins (American, 1844-1916), The Champion Single Sculls (Max Schmitt in a Single Scull), 1871, oil on canvas, 32 1/2 x 46 1/4 inches (82.6 x 117.5 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See Realism.
Childe Hassam (American, 1859-1935), Nocturne, Railway Crossing, Chicago, 1893, watercolor on paper, 16 x 11 3/4 inches (40.6 x 29.8 cm), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Hassam layered subtly varied blue washes to evoke pavement, skyscrapers, streetcars, and horse-drawn carriages and added highlights to capture glowing lights and their reflections on the wet street. See American Impressionism, nocturne, and Ten American Painters.
Maurits Cornelis Escher (Dutch, 1898-1972), Hand with Reflecting Sphere, 1935, lithograph, 32 x 21.5 cm. See sphere.
Maurits Cornelis Escher, Three Spheres II, 1946, lithograph. Here Escher realistically depicts a range of ways that materials with various properties reflect light. The first sphere is of glossy and transparent glass, the one in the center has a mirrored surface, and the third has a matte white one.
Maurits Cornelis Escher, Reflection, 1950, linocut printed from two blocks, 26 x 32 cm. Two raindrops have fallen into a pond, and, with the concentric, expanding ripples that they cause, disturb the still reflection of a tree with the moon behind it. See World of Escher.
Maurits Cornelis Escher, Puddle, 1952, woodcut in black, green and brown, printed from 3 blocks.
Also see absorption, anamorphosis, dark, finish, glossy, light, refraction, and sight.
reflectogram and reflectography - See infrared reflectography (IR) and reflectogram.
reflexivity - The process of making one self-aware of one's immersion in visual culture to examine one's own position, and hidden influences, sometimes through intertextuality.
Also see visuality.
Reformation - A religious revolution in western Europe that took place during the sixteenth century. It began as a reform movement within the Roman Catholic Church but evolved into the doctrines of Protestantism.
Also see Baroque.
refraction, refract - Refraction is the change in direction which occurs when rays of light pass from one medium to another of a different density, as they do from air to glass or water. Or, the distortion of an image by seeing through a translucent medium. To refract is to cause such a change in the direction of light. Ophthalmology is concerned with the eye's refractive ability: changing the direction of light in order to focus it on the retina. An ophthalmologist measures this refractive ability, resulting in an accurate prescription for lenses which will optically compensate for the eye's inability to achieve focus.
Also see angle, mother-of-pearl, point of view, reflection, refractory, telescope, and wavelength.
refractory - Resistant to high temperatures. Refractory materials are used for molds in lost-wax casting and for kiln furniture on which ceramic ware stands while it is fired.
Also see refraction.
Regency - Refers to one of the periods during which a person or group has been selected to govern in the place of a ruler who is either absent, disabled, or too young to govern. In England, this is the style of design prevalent during the regency from 1811-1820, of the future George IV. An example is Paul Storr's (English, active 1785-1838) Centerpiece, 1810-1811, silver with mark: date letter P, width at base: 18 x 14 inches, Birmingham Museum of Art. Among the French, it refers to the style prevalent during the regency from 1674-1723, of Philippe, Duc d'Orleans.
Regionalism or regionalism
register, register mark, and registration - The exact alignment of shapes or edges in various areas of any piece of work. In printmaking, registration is the proper positioning of plates or colors. Any mark made to assist in positioning elements for better alignment can be called a register mark, registration mark, reg mark, or an alignment mark. In museum work, registration is the process of developing and maintaining an immediate, brief, and permanent means of identifying an object for which the museum has assumed responsibility.
In this page layout, register marks have been placed outside of the sides of the printed area, here surrounded by a dotted-line. Register marks should not be confused with crop marks — placed outside of each corner of the printed area of this example, showing where material should be cut off after the image has been produced. In this case, a white margin will remain once the page has been cropped. See graph.
Also see accession, bleed mark, ear, fold, graphic design, and registrar.
registrar - A person with broad responsibilities in the development and the enforcement of policies and procedures pertaining to the acquisition, management and disposition of collections. The registrar maintains the records pertaining to the objects for which the institution has assumed responsibility. Usually the registrar also handles arrangements for accessions, loans, packing, shipping, storage, customs, and insurance as it relates to the objects.
Also see art careers, curator, museology, museum, preparator, register, and typology.
regular - Uniformly or evenly formed or arranged. Circles, squares, and equilateral triangles must all be regular shapes. Some ovals and some quadrilaterals are regular. No amorphous shapes or biomorphic forms can ever be regular.
Also see straight.

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine
Parish Development Working Group
Added on 05/02/2013
Christ Church Bray in the Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough is inviting everyone to visit the Land of Narnia which will be dramatically recreated in the church for the six and a half weeks of Lent. The Narnia Festival forms part of the church's 150th anniversary celebrations while also teaching about temptation and Lent. Inspired by CS Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the festival features a large ship, a dragon, Aslan the lion, a real waterfall and much more. Visitors will be able to walk through the Dawn Treader ship and visit the islands that King Caspian, Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, Reepicheep the mouse and Aslan visited. The interactive exhibition promises to be exciting and full of wonder for all ages.
The festival will be launched by the Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd Dr Michael Jackson, at an opening service on Ash Wednesday, February 13, at 11.00 am. Members of St Patrick's Cathedral choristers will also be present. It will run until Easter Sunday, March 31, when the President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, the Revd Kenneth Lindsay will lead a service involving the local Methodist congregation in the church. During the festival there will be a number of other exciting events including a concert on February 23.
Rector of Bray, the Revd Baden Stanley, explains why the parish has chosen to mount such an ambitious festival. "As we approach the season of Lent we are drawn once again to the image of Jesus spending 40 days (and cold, cold nights) in the wilderness, fasting and preparing. It is at the end of this time of solitude that the Devil approaches Jesus who is hungry, weary, vulnerable to suggestion and subtle temptation," he says. "For many of us, Lent has become a generic event focussed on giving up (or taking up) something. It is more naturally associated with withdrawal symptoms than dealing with the potential consequences of our choices. Over the years we as a parish have used various programs and initiatives to re–focus on what Lent can teach us."
This is not the first time the parish has recreated Narnia. For two weeks in 2009 they picked up on the theme of Easter which CS Lewis portrays in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. (You can view it on You Tube: 'Narnia comes to Bray'.) This time they are taking The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as their inspiration and with the kind permission of the C.S. Lewis Company and Douglas Gresham, focussing on the themes of Lent and temptation as highlighted in the book.
Over 4,000 people attended the festival in 2009 and already bookings from schools and groups from around the country are flooding in for this year's event. Individuals and families can just turn up without booking but large groups must book in advance. Ticket prices have been kept to a minimum. Admission for a child costs €3 with the accompanying adult going free), a family ticket with up to five children costs €10, an adult ticket without a child costs €5 while an entry fee of €2 per child applies for school tours (accompanying adults free).
The concert takes place on February 23 at 7.00 pm and features music from the musical Jack which was written about CS Lewis by his stepson, Douglas Gresham, with Keith Getty. New Irish Arts (Choir and Orchestra) will perform the music for just the third time ever along with music from the film score. Tickets for the concert cost €15 (€10 with concession).
