Photographer is artist of the month
The Altoona Area Public Library invites you to enjoy the unique photography of Kevin Suckling, its artist of the month for August.
The display includes a small portion of the award-winning "Endangered Species Series" by this local photographic artist. The series, a "photo safari" of sorts, consists of photographs of painted signs, which utilize animal imagery, in varying states of decay.
The series began accidently by Suckling more than 20 years ago, who up until then was known for his fine art copy work and landscape photography.
Suckling has selected a majority of local images for this exhibition, many of which have already become "extinct," but also includes some from farther afield.
Local residents may enjoy recognizing and remembering some of the local signs.
Suckling credits his love of folk art, collecting and the appreciation of the lost art of the sign painter as his inspiration for this ongoing project.

Lawyer for Phil Spector's wife calls divor
A lawyer for Phil Spector's wife says a divorce filing by the imprisoned music producer is heartbreaking.
Lawyer Aaron Abramowitz writes in a statement issued on Tuesday that Rachelle Spector has been devoted to her husband and has been providing him support and the best possible care while he is incarcerated.
Court records in Stockton, California, show Spector filed for divorce on March 18. A copy of his filing was not immediately available.
The Spectors met at a Hollywood restaurant in 2003, shortly after he was arrested in the shooting death of Lana Clarkson. The producer was later convicted of killing Clarkson and is serving a sentence of 19 years to life.
The pair married in 2006, and Rachelle Spector has been running her husband's businesses while he is imprisoned.
Spector was convicted of the murder of Lana Clarkson and received a 19-year prison sentence.

Tooth Abscess. Don't wait until it's too late. Grab a scheduled visit to a Dentist if you have a painful tooth that spreads to your Jaw. Your Dental health is important. Avoid heavy Sugars and Amalgam filling. These types of practices/elements are now known to have detriment to actual dental health. Pain in the Jaw resulting from a bacterial manifestation can be deadly. The Bacterial infection can pass the blood brain barrier and cause an abscess. Bacterial Meningitis, a specific type of infection, can cause cell damage and must be addressed promptly. Three symptoms to look for include metal impairment in vision or hearing, fever, and headache. Anti-biotic such as Amoxicillin are used to cause bacterial cell wall death. It is not unusual for swelling to occur when the Anti-biotic initially begins to work. This swelling can occur in the neck in the brain stem causing a persons neck to stiffen and impair forward movement. A bad pain in your teeth may be your last. Call your dentist sooner than later with tooth pain. This was written entirely from memory from readings the night before 1/6/2016. Which is today at 9:22pm Eastern. (And yes I had an infection this past weekend.I did wait later than sooner. However it was addressed and anti-biotic administered.)
On the heath a little flower blooms and it's called: Erika. Hot from a hundred thousand little bees that swarm over Erika because her heart is full of sweetness, her flowery dress gives off a delicate scent. On the heath a little flower blooms and it's called: Erika.
Back home lives a little blonde girl and she's called: Erika. This girl is my faithful little darling and my happiness, Erika. When the flower on the heath blooms red-lilac, I sing her this song in greeting. On the heath a little flower blooms and it's called: Erika.
Another little flower blooms in my small room and it's called: Erika. Already in the first rays of the morning, as well as at dusk, it looks at me, Erika. And then it seems to me it speaks aloud: "Are you also thinking of your little bride?" Back home a little girl weeps for you and she's called Erika.

Recording information: Record One, Los Angeles, CA (09/05/1980-01/18/1981).
Photographer: Aaron Rapoport.
James Taylor helped pioneer the singer-songwriter movement of the late 1960s with songs of surprising musical sophistication and lyrics that were both introspective and gently poetic. For decades to follow, Taylor continued to produce music that was personal, accessible and enjoyable. Here, he has matured into a pop craftsman of the first order. On DAD LOVES HIS WORK the arc of his talent continues to rise. The radio-friendly "Hard Times" would make Smokey Robinson proud. "Summer's Here" is jazzy, breezy and as warm as the season it celebrates. "Her Town Too," co-written with John David Souther, marked another notch high up on the pop charts for J.T.

The Weekend
Monday, February 03, 2014
This weekend I went to go see That Awkward Moment and it was hilarious! I am going to admit I kind of over did it on the snacks, nothing to bad but I should have said no to a couple pieces of candy. Sunday I didn't do anything to crazy I had to work during the day then I went over to a friends house to watch the super bowl! Pretty disappointing game if I say so myself!LOL
I have decided that I am going to start letting myself have one cheat meal a week! Everyone deserves to treat themselves every now and then! I have learned if you don't treat yourself you just end up bingeing once you do have the food that you want in front of you! The only time I will allow for a full cheat day is for very special occasions or holidays! I still am going to have my cheat day on Thursday because I really wont have a choice other than eating out because I wont be home all day! After that I am planning my next cheat day to be Easter! My cheat meal next week will be pizza! Me and my friends have decided to do a gift exchange for Valentines day and we are going out to eat as well! I don't want my diet to make me anti-social because I cant go out to eat. So I believe one cheat meal a week wont hurt anything! But other than that I am going to stay on track! I didn't get the chance to workout today because I was at school from 9 in the morning to almost 4 working on projects and papers and by the time I was done I was ready to just go home and relax! Today and Thursday will be my rest day from the gym this week! I am going to push myself to go the gym 5 days a week! I feel so much better about myself now that I do go to the gym! It was definitely a great investment!
Here's what I ate today!
-Breakfast essential drink
-I had a very late lunch at like 4;30 so I just had a couple crackers, a slice of cheese, and a couple slices of ham
-Tuna noodle casserole
-100 calorie pack snack
-Yogurt pretzels(I did portion them out) & OMG I love them! Probably my new addiction!
-I did take a little swig of diet coke
I am going to start adding snacks into my meal plan! I have been told that I am not eating enough calories and I should add a snack in between meals!

Why do people believe in the Illuminati and NWO when there is no evidence?

Post Content
Okay, you have signs everywhere, but lets say you were in charge of creating the dollar bill, wouldn't you use historical artifacts to give meaning to this bill? Lets say you were making a building, wouldn't you want to put some kind of sign to make it represent something.
People want to give things meaning, it doesn't mean it has to be a conspiracy. Everytime I take on projects I tend to want to leave my mark by adding something historical or personal to it, but it doesn't mean I have an agenda to take over the world.
Presidents from all around the world have used the words "New World Order", every fucking decade I hear the words because every decade there is CHANGE, look back at history. This decade there will be a New World Order established just like there was in the 90s, it doesn't mean anything bad.
Where's the proof? All I see is people trying to make sense of things and coming up with theories, that's all. 6.8 BILLION humans on Earth, think about how hard it will be for 1% of the population to control the rest of the world, IMPOSSIBLE. It's 2010, we know here on GLP we will NOT let any bullshit happen. I have friends all around the world and they will NOT let happen what most of you doomtards want so bad.
PROPAGANDA - Who started this rumor? We should think about that instead and what was the purpose of it? If there truly was an Illuminati group with a NWO agenda it will be kept secret, no matter what, think logically.
I have thought about this quite a bit. My conclusion is, that it is easier for people to believe in a planned organized establishment, then it is for them to believe that the 'World Order' is of humanities own making.
True, I agree. Everyone wants here wants to know the "truth" so bad, they want to make sense of everything that is going. We don't even know where we came from other than what we know from different theories from around the world.
My father told me not to give a fuck, that's what he has done, and he's well off - but I do give a fuck, so what can I do?

It's amazing how good planning can yield an excellent living area in a tiny space. By making every square foot count, you can create a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bath and closet in a storage shed. The secret is using wall space effectively and planning each detail. Because the house is tiny, creating a beautiful space is affordable. Using recycled materials can add to your savings. A so-called tiny home usually works best for someone who's living alone, but a small house is also an option as a vacation getaway.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Sketch pad
- Insulation
- Framing material
- Drywall
- Windows
- Paint
- Appliances
- Shelving
- Furnishings
- Oil-filled radiator-type heaters
Measure the storage shed to determine square footage. Make lots of drawings to establish a good design. Add a small porch, window boxes and landscaping, for example. Plan an interior that's totally open except for the bathroom. Clean the shed inside and out before starting any type of renovation.
Repair the roof and foundation. Fix any cracks or leaks. Add new roofing plywood and shingles, if needed. Check the ground thoroughly to make sure the foundation has no moisture problems or loose soil.
Insulate and frame the walls. Run plumbing and electricity as needed. Replace single-pane screenless windows with double-pane windows with screens. Build a small bathroom. Install drywall. Paint the walls and trim with semi-gloss paint.
Build in a small bathroom. Create a kitchen in the smallest space possible, along a portion of one wall. Add a counter, a sink, open shelving and dorm-size appliances.
Finish the interior. Lay flooring, such as hardwood or tile. Plan to buy a couple of free-standing heaters to add warmth to the space when it's cold. Purchase oil-filled radiator-type heaters, which are energy-efficient and require only 110-volt plug-ins.
Furnish the tiny home as minimally as possible. Instead of a bed and sofa, use a daybed or a sofabed. Make furniture do double-duty. A table can double as a desk. A small ottoman can serve as a footrest, table, guest seating and hidden storage. Install adjustable wall sconces for lighting to eliminate the need for table or floor lamps.

So I took the easy way out and emailed. After such a long silence, a phone call seemed way too sudden. Plus, with email I got to avoid the nervousness of listening to his line ring, waiting to see if he'll pick up. No awkward voice messages when he doesn't answer. No butterflies in the pit of my stomach when I hear that once-familiar voice on the other end.
The strangest part about writing him was thinking about everything he's missed. The last time we spoke was early January, and since then I've had a lot of milestones: new city, new apartment, new roommate, new job, new friends. The list goes on. It felt odd to open myself back up to Alex and share all that, but I really only gave him a peek. I hit the major points while glossing over any details—it was the kind of email I'd send an aunt who I haven't seen for a while (speaking of which, I should really write my aunt…).
Skipping the details I used to share so freely with him was almost sad, but at least I reached out. I asked how he's doing, what he's been up to, how his family and friends are. Of course I want to know how he is, but the main reason I broke the silence was because I want us to be in each other's lives (even if only a little bit). And if we went for too long without speaking, I feared it would set up a pattern of not being in touch. Despite the fact that I'm moving on with my life, I'm not ready for him to drop off the face of the earth.
Now all that's left to do is wait for his reply. Unless he really is mad, at which point I'm screwed.

Constraint-Aided Conceptual Design
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreA title in the "Engineering Research Series" Constraint-Aided Conceptual Design is concerned with that phase of product development during which the designer takes a specification for the product and generates many broad solutions to achieve the end result. This valuable book offers a computational reasoning solution based on the notion of constraint filtering as the basis of an interactive design support tool to assist a human designer working in the conceptual phase of design. Using this interactive design support tool, the designer can be assisted in developing models of proposed schemes which satisfy the various constraints that are imposed on the design.

- Theory
- Implementation strategy

Rated 1 out of 5 by Boomer3800 from Disappointed Liked the pattern so bought one. I used it twice to carry two cups a sugar bowl and milk jug to the patio a matter of 40 feet and it cracked. Date published: 2016-10-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by HandyAndy from Useful melamine tray with handles. I needed two more trays for a small family gathering and found these online. Made of melamine they are strong and functional and have handles, so they are easy to carry. On special offer, they were half price and well worth what I paid for them.
