It helps students establish a foundation which enables them to understand, appreciate, and engage in sociological analysis. The most central questions to this course are, how are individual actions shaped by their relation to and position in the social structure, and how do individuals influence the social structure and contribute to societal change? Students develop an understanding of the symbiotic relationship between sociological theory and sociological research. They are empowered to apply course concepts to their own experience and encouraged to pose questions about various dimensions of social life. (Offered every other year)

SOC3350 Race, Ethnicity, and Culture 4 semester hours
Why is it that even today discussions concerning ethnic diversity, race, color and the Constitutional promise and actual practice of equal opportunity continue to evoke uneasiness and personal discomfort? This is an interesting question since our cultural context and national identity are often admired as symbols of liberty. Whether we seek employment in education, business, or social services, we need to be aware of the factors that shape the unique experiences of diverse groups. To expand this awareness, the course analyzes how differences in ethnicity, skin color and other indicators of group membership impact vulnerability and opportunity for diverse groups. The legal and moral questions related to the responses by the mainstream population to racial and cultural minority groups, including the new immigrants are also examined. Stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination of a wide range of social categories, and the role they play in shaping of the structures of power are also analyzed.

The strengths and weaknesses of governmental programs and regulations and of market-based solutions of these problems also are discussed. The role of volunteerism and philanthropy is analyzed, and so are the unanticipated consequences of politically motivated reforms.
Prerequisite: None.

The first part of the course introduces students to the emergence of human rights in the 20th century. Next, selected examples of economic, social and cultural victimization, wars, genocidal and terrorist actions are explored to understand how violence varies across contexts.

Prerequisites: None.
SOC/PSC3550 Politics of Intimate Relations 4 semester hours
This course applies a historical, comparative and global approach to the study of social and political forces that shape patterns of mate selection, dating, intimate relationships, power relations, conflicts and violence among members of intimate relationships, and of the dissolution of such relations with all its consequences. The issues related to parent-child dynamic and the problems that emerge in single- parent, multi-generational, transitional, same-sex or blended families are also taken into consideration.

Meet Zigzag Our Classroom Goldfish
Everyone had ample opportunity to observe our goldfish. The children find Zigzag quite amusing and fun to watch. For the next week, we will be observing and documenting information we learn about goldfish and guppies in our science notebooks. Stayed tuned!
After the initial introduction, I had the children think over night of names we could name our goldfish. The next day the children shared their ideas with all of us and we needed to take a vote. From all of the great ideas it was Zigzag that was the favorite. We created a graph to decide the name.
Meet Zigzag!
Isn't he/she CUTE????
Zigzag love zigzagging through his little aquarium.

Was it a bear???? No, too small! Any other good guesses? Look around, do you see anything moving around. "I think it's a rabbit! No, I think it is a squirrel!"
"Let's go look for more!"
"I found some, I found some!"
"Wow! These are very tiny! What could they be? A MOUSE, a mouse!"
ANY ideas??? We need to investigate.

These are the best ultrabooks to look out for buy in 2016, and now they're even better thanks to Windows 10. These super-thin, feather-light ultrabooks are perfect for anyone who doesn't want the heft of a traditional laptop, but can't stand the idea of tapping out emails on a software keyboard. Think this might be your bag? Read on.
- Also check out: the best Windows 10 laptops, 2-in-1s and tablets
1. Lenovo Yoga 900
Despite its new name, the Yoga 900 feels a lot like the Yoga 3 Pro. It's slightly heavier and thicker than its predecessor, which is ok, because it's a much more powerful device. Lenovo switched the Intel Core M processor in the Yoga 3 Pro for Intel's sixth-generation Skylake processor in the Yoga 900, all while keeping its gorgeous QHD+ display. speedy SSD and gorgeous watchband hinge-inspired design. If you loved the Yoga 3 Pro but wished it had a little bit more power, the Yoga 900 is well worth checking out.
£720 | Lenovo.com
2. Lenovo Yoga 900S
Style? The Yoga 900 has it in spades, but you might be tempted to wait for the newer Yoga 900S. Sticking with the Yoga 900's watchband hinge-inspired design, it's smaller at 12.5 inches and even lighter at just 2.2 pounds (versus the 900's 2.8). The 900S's QHD display once again rotates all of the way around allowing it to be used like a tablet. Intel's Core m7 processor provides the horsepower, and combined with a 53 watt-hour battery should allow the Yoga 900S's battery life to stretch into the double figures. If you like the sound of a more portable Yoga 900, only with slightly less processing power and a reduced screen resolution, the 900S could be what you've been waiting for.
Coming soon | Lenovo
3. Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS 13 has been the 13-inch laptop to beat since it launched in early 2015. Only the LG Gram 15, which is yet to come to the UK, comes close to matching its gorgeous, compact design. Dell's mini, yet mighty machine's main feature is its virtually bezel-less InfinityEdge display. Measuring just millimetres thick, it almost makes the screen's contents look like they're floating in mid-air. Moreover, it lends the laptop similar dimensions to an 11-inch laptop, making it the most bag-friendly 13.3-inch laptop around. Powered by Intel's latest sixth-generation Skylake processors, the XPS 13 is available with a QHD+ or 1080p display depending on whether you prefer crisper visuals or longer battery life.
From £929 | Dell
4. Microsoft Surface Pro 4
The Surface Pro 4 makes a big improvement over the Surface Pro 3, but it does so subtly. By getting rid of the capacitive Windows button, Microsoft was able to shrink the size of the bezel to make its 12.3-inch display larger. It's slightly thinner and lighter too, all while being more powerful thanks to Intel's sixth-generation processor. Even the accessories have got better this time around - from the new keyboard that features more tactile keys to the new Surface Pen which ups the pressure sensitivity compare to the Surface Pro 3's.
£749 | Microsoft.com
5. Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700
The similarities between the Miix 700 and Microsoft's Surface Pro tablets are plain to see, but don't call Lenovo's latest 2-in-1 a cheap knock-off. This convertible tablet boasts a sharp Full HD+ display with a pixel-resolution of 2,160 x 1440, weighs 0.6 pounds lighter than the Surface Pro 3 and has an arguably snazzier design that echoes Lenovo's Yoga 3 Pro laptop. Unlike the Surface Pro 4, the Miix 700 can be configured with an LTE modem making it possible to access the internet via a mobile network.
From £855 | Lenovo
6. Toshiba Satellite Radius 12
The Radius 12 was the first convertible laptop to feature a 4K display. There's a few more models on the market, but few have the allure of Toshiba's 12.5-inch model. Featuring Technicolor certification, the Radius 12's 3,840 x 2,160 display is simply stunning and really perks up anything from images to Office documents to website text. Its svelte aluminium body is even narrower than the Dell XPS 13, all while squeezing Intel's sixth-generation Skylake processor inside.
£799 | Amazon
7. Apple 12-inch MacBook
Apple's most controversial laptop yet is its prettiest by far. Its incredible thinness is achieved by sacrificing all but one of the machine's ports, leaving it with a sole USB Type-C connection. Without an adapter, you're forced to use one peripheral at a time — so you can't use an external monitor while charging your phone, for example. Still, if you can put up with that, the 12-inch MacBook's gorgeous Retina display, surprisingly punch speakers and roomy Force Touch TrackPad make it one of the best Ultrabooks around.
From £1,049 | Apple
8. Asus UX305
It may not have a razor-thin display bezel like the XPS 13, but that's no reason to scratch the UX305 from your list. At just 12.3mm thick it's as skinny as it is lightweight, which is no mean feat for a laptop that weighs just 2.6 pounds. Taking inspiration from the 13-inch MacBook Air, the Intel Core M-powered UX305 is constructed from aluminium and has a keyboard that lets your fingers fly. You might even prefer its matte 1080p display, which is easy to read on, to glossy ones found on more expensive models. That's right: at just £599 the UX305 undercuts competing laptops and is a no-brainer if you're on a budget.
£599 | John Lewis
9. Dell XPS 12
Just like the XPS 13, the XPS 12 features Dell's impressive InfinityEdge display. This makes the XPS 12 one of the most compact tablets around, though it certainly isn't the thinnest. The extra chunk is due to the keyboard base, which is by far and away the best on any tablet out there. If you appreciate keys that possess deep travel, you'll love what the XPS 12 has to offer. It's powered by an Intel Core M CPU and comes with a dazzling 4K display that makes fonts, websites and images look extremely sharp. There's also a stylus for drawing on the 12.5-inch tablet's display.

My intake didn't do much for fuel economy. If anything, I think it dropped a little. Do a tuneup if it hasn't been done already with a new distributor cap and rotor, new sparkplugs and wires. Make sure your intake plenum gasket hasn't gone bad.
As far as better fuel economy, I haven't seen much improvement for these engines. An electric fan should help, but the best and easiest mod, as much as it pains me to say, is changing your driving style. these are thirsty engines.

In addition, heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats and death have happened rarely in men taking Viagra. Most, but not all, of these men had heart problems before taking Viagra. It is not known if Viagra caused these problems.Frequency not reported: Leukopenia
Dyspepsia 3% 9% 17% 2% Day 1 of 0.4 mg Tamsulosin Supine -0.1 (-2.2, 1.9) generic viagra Levitra Drug Description
Very common (10% or more): Headache (15%)According to the prescribing information, during the clinical trials of Viagra (sildenafil), less than two percent of patients reported experiencing insomnia (difficulty sleeping). Furthermore, it was only possible that this side effect was related to treatment and a causal relationship to Viagra was uncertain. If your husband has been experiencing difficulty sleeping, you may want to consult with the physician to determine the underlying cause and possible treatment options, if necessary. Viagra should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. Viagra is approved, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. According to the prescribing information, some of the possible side effects associated with Viagra treatment include headache, flushing, dyspepsia (upset stomach, indigestion), nasal congestion, urinary tract infections, abnormal vision, diarrhea, dizziness and rash. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. viagra high blood pressure In the United States, the FDA relaxed rules on prescription drug marketing in 1997, allowing advertisements targeted directly to consumers.[16] Lilly-ICOS hired the Grey Worldwide Agency in New York, part of the Grey Global Group, to run the Cialis advertising campaign.[17] Marketers for Cialis has taken advantage of its greater duration compared to its competitors in advertisements for the drug; Stuart Elliot of The New York Times opined: "The continuous presence of women in Cialis ads is a subtle signal that the drug makes it easier for them to set the pace with their men, in contrast to the primarily male-driven imagery for Levitra and Viagra."[17] Iconic themes in Cialis ads include couples in bathtubs and the slogan "When the moment is right, will you be ready?"[17] Cialis ads were unique among the ED drugs in mentioning specifics of the drug.[18] As a result, Cialis ads were also the first to describe the side effects in an advertisement, as the FDA requires advertisements with specifics to mention side effects. One of the first Cialis ads aired at the 2004 Super Bowl.
In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including Levitra) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines, to other factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or to a combination of these. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including Levitra, and call a doctor right away.Compare the erection-in-a-bottle with the basic contraceptive needs of all heterosexually active women who do not wish to become pregnant. While many health insurers are guaranteeing free or low-cost romps to men, they are by and large denying most women the contraceptive coverage that is a fundamental health care necessity for 20 - 30 years of their adult lives (the alternative being, on average, a potential 8 - 15 pregnancies in a woman's lifetime). According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, 33 million American women are in need of contraceptive services and supplies, yet most women using birth control pay for it themselves. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) notes that two-thirds of U.S. women of childbearing age rely on private, employer-related plans for their health coverage. While 90% of these health plans cover prescription drugs and devices, a large majority exclude prescription contraceptives from coverage. Only 33 percent of large group health plans cover the birth control pill. Other contraceptive methods are even less financially accessible. Is it any wonder that women of childbearing age pay 68% more in out-of-pocket medical expenses than their male counterparts?

If you're looking to get the best sound from your music, computer games, or television sound then you absolutely must buy the Tivoli Model Subwoofer. This diminutive sub-woofer extends the Model Two, Model Three and Model Satellite's bass response by a half-octave. The 5.25" bass driver, 20-watt internal amplifier, front-ported design, and wood cabinet give you an even richer musical sound. While the Auto On/Standby circuit activates the sub-woofer automatically when it receives a signal and places it in standby when the signal is absent.
If you already have a Model Two, Model Three and/or Model Satellite in Silver Black/Ash then you'll definitely want this matching piece for the best sound possible.

We should really just relax.
Welcome to The Annotated MST, your source for obsessively researched Mystery Science Theater 3000 trivia since September 2003. We're a little more than halfway done now, so we anticipate finishing this Herculean task around the time our webmaster's daughter, who was born right before the site was founded, heads off to college (whimper). Please see the FAQ if you'd like more details about what we do here, and enjoy your stay.
We've Redecorated!
And welcome to our brand-new site redesign! It's been twelve years—the curtains were getting a little dusty and the furniture was starting to look a little shabby in the daylight, so we thought it was time to gussy up the place. The basic layout is the same, although we've added a page for our shiny new YouTube videos, and we have a fancy slider up top so you can enjoy our library of ridiculous screen shots. Feel free to look around and stay awhile.

Wedding caps off Civil War programming
It won't be make-believe when Joanne Shelby and Michael Klein of Monroeville are united in a Civil War-era military wedding at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall in Carnegie.
The wedding of Shelby, 44, and Klein, 39 -- members of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves, a local Civil War re-enactment group -- is among the highlights of an April 28 war exposition being hosted by the library.
Shelby, who portrays Mary Todd Lincoln, and Klein, who portrays the first lady's personal escort, met in 2004 in Pittsburgh while planning a Civil War re-enactment.
Having a wedding ceremony fashioned after those of the Civil War era has been Shelby's dream for several years. She's been interested in the war since she was a child. After her first visit to Gettysburg in 1981, she became "fascinated" with the war and time period, she said.
The unique wedding on the library grounds is open to the public as part of the day's events. It is patterned after a wedding that took place in 1862 in Union General Joseph Hooker's camp outside Washington, DC.
The entire bridal party will be dressed in fashions from the Civil War era. Shelby will wear a reproduction of a dress found in the Victoria and Albert Museum in England. Her accessories include a cameo pin and earrings from the 1860s. Klein will dress in his reproduction cavalry uniform, complete with saber and pistol.
"I'm excited about the wedding," Shelby said. "It's a great opportunity for people to witness what it was like in that time period."
The day will feature ongoing tours of the Thomas Espy Grand Army of the Republic Post No. 153, a historic room at the library filled with an array of flags, books, medals and other artifacts collected by Civil War veterans who met in the room from 1906 to the mid 1930s. Espy was a soldier from Upper St. Clair.
The room was locked and left undisturbed for 50 years, and its historical refurbishing is now a major priority of the $8.6 million campaign to restore and renovate the library, said Maggie Forbes, the library's executive director.
"The GAR room is one of the best in the country. It's like a time capsule filled with artifacts," Forbes said. "We have this very unique treasure here, and we want to bring it back historically accurate."
They day will include an encampment and drills. An exposition in the library Reception Hall will feature exhibitors and vendors with booths on the GAR, Civil War medicine, civilian life, antiques and other historical memorabilia.
The day-long event will culminate with an evening concert of Civil War era music by two groups: Home Front, and Acoustic Shadows of the Blue and Gray.
Additional Information:
If you goWhat : A day of Civil War programming at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, featuring an actual wedding ceremony fashioned after those of the Civil War era, plus re-enactments, tours of the Thomas Espy Grand Army of the Republic Post room, and an evening concert of Civil War era music.
When : Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The wedding ceremony takes place at 4:30 p.m. on the library grounds, and the concert begins at 8 p.m. in the library's music hall.

Retiring Snoqualmie police officer Dave Johnson looks back on 29-year career, town changes
Quick thinking and a handy tree branch helped turn Dave Johnson into a Snoqualmie Police Officer almost 30 years ago.
Johnson had been an oil rig worker in Williston, N.D., when he came to Snoqualmie to visit an old school friend, Ed Crosson. At the time, Crosson was a police sergeant in Snoqualmie, and on duty.
While Johnson was visiting, "We went out on a burglary call, and we caught the burglars," he said. It's more fun when he tells the whole story, though.
"Some kids broke into the administration building," Johnson explained. He and Ed arrived just as the trespassers were leaving the building. "Well, I'd watched Rosco P. Coltrane, so I picked up a tree branch and pointed it at them. I told them to stop, and they thought I had a shotgun, so they stopped. Ed looked at me, and asked if I wanted a job."
Johnson took the job, moved back to Snoqualmie, and has been with the department ever since, with one important difference when he goes on calls.
"From then on, it was a gun!" he laughed.
Johnson hung up his gun and badge on Saturday, Jan. 29, to retire to his place in the mountains, and to fish. He'd been with the Snoqualmie Police Department 29 years, since 1982 as a reservist, and since 1988 as a full-time officer.
"It's going to be hard to leave," Johnson said during his last week. "They've been family for more than 20 years here."
He's not talking only about his fellow officers. Johnson has called Snoqualmie home for most of his life, and says he wanted to join the police because "I knew the people and I like helping people."
Johnson moved to the area in 1960 with his adoptive parents, attended local schools and graduated from Mount Si High School in 1971. He left the area a few years later as a journeyman lineman, and came back as police reservist, working as a logger during the day, and completing 220 hours of police academy work in night training.
Back then, he remembers, he didn't start out with much more than a tree branch.
"If the city had a uniform that fit you, you got a uniform," he said. "Then they gave you 18 bullets for whatever gun you had, a badge, commission card, and a pair of handcuffs." Everything else was the recruit's responsibility, including the academy training.
The small department had an even smaller budget. They bought all their patrol cars from other cities' departments, and all of them had more than 100,000 miles on them.
"Our first police department was in the mayor's chamber in the old city hall, and about half the size of this kitchen," he said, gesturing around the police break room. That department had a desk and a holding cell in the room that they shared with the mayor.
When they moved to a larger police department, the officers did most of the renovations. They kept up the maintenance on their vehicles, too. The small size of the department wasn't a bad thing, though, and it complemented the city.
"Down in old Snoqualmie, there were five of us in the department, and we knew everybody," Johnson said. That made it a lot harder for anyone to commit a crime without the police finding out. "They'd take off running, and we didn't have to chase them. We'd just wait for them in their driveways, and when they came home, oh, my goodness!"
Johnson laughs about this apprehension method unique to small towns, and he has a lot of stories that reflect the more peaceful past. His department foursome, for example, used to play golf at the end of a graveyard shift, and then pay their green fees when employees arrived to open the course for the day.
A lot has changed, though, in Johnson's 29 years on the force. The nature of crimes in Snoqualmie isn't much different, but the volume has increased with the population, especially drug or alcohol-related assaults, he said. The department started growing rapidly in the late 1980s, when development began on Snoqualmie Ridge, and today includes 17 officers.
What's changed the most, though, is the general level of respect people used to have. Events like the Nov. 29, 2009, shooting of four Lakewood police officers just confirm Johnson's opinion.
"Police officers used to be respected in the old days, but when you stop and look at it, so were the adults," Johnson said. "That's just the biggest thing I see in society today, is lack of respect."
He is proud of "gaining the respect of the citizens here," and he always tried to return it in kind. When arresting people, he said, "You catch 'em, you treat 'em like a human, like a person, and they'll rehabilitate themselves a lot of times."
Johnson had to do one last bit of quick thinking to conclude his career with the Snoqualmie Police. He'd originally planned to retire at the end of the month, but that was not a scheduled work day for him, so he made the 29th his last day
"Why come in on my day off, just to retire?" he asked.

Connie from 21 Secrets recorded a fun conversation with me with some fun questions about my journey as an artist, about my art itself, persistence, and how to deal with rejection and there is no shame , and other things … I had a great time – I always love when questions make you think and realize things for yourself.
Here is the interview it is about 45 mins long (boy yes…I have a lot to say – LOL) – hope you enjoy it 🙂

Skip to comments.Democrats Complain of Aloof, Disengaged Obama
Posted on 02/04/2013 8:12:19 AM PST by jehardy
President Barack Obama may have to reach out more to Democrats on Capitol Hill if he expects to win their support for his aggressive second-term agenda, reports Politico.
In interviews with dozens of Democratic members of Congress and senior aides, Politico found many are frustrated and angered by what they perceive as the presidents disregard for cultivating relationships with his party colleagues.
This comes at a time when the president is preparing to take on everything from taxes and immigration reform to gun control and climate change, and needs Democratic backing to get legislation through Congress.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
They don't 'get' it ~ their aloof Dear Leader doesn't care about them or anyone.
Ain't feelin' the love anymore, eh useful idiots?
They still haven't figured out that King Barry has decided that he doesn't need Congress when he can get his way through unchallenged executive orders.
They were useful, now they're just IDIOTS.
Hey, let's give the dork some space.
He only has two operational brain cells, and one of them is 100% devoted to find the nearest mirror.
Glad to hear that even the dim-bulbs are finally realizing that the bat-eared-b*stard is indeed as stupid as he looks.
The Mugabes (or Castros or Chavezes) of the world don't reach out to underlings.
They give orders, steal wealth and destroy nations.
Obama "Hey Carney - Have someone send the CBC some doughnuts"
Great, and we have four more years of this crap. Hope America survives...
Congress doesn't realize that its sole purpose now is to rubber stamp everything the dictator wants. Eventually, the tyrant will decide he doesn't need any of them.
Didn't they complain about this during his last term? Lazy and not interested. Would rather goof off and golf.
Why would they think it would be better this term?
I seriously think that Obama did not want to win the election and found himself stuck in an administration that he does not want to direct.
Are these geniuses just now figuring out that Obama is a narcissistic loner?
I would have to agree with you. I think he was ready to fly off to Hawaii and spend the rest of his sorry ass life in a mansion eating poi and playing golf, but then he got re-elected.
Obama's entire 2nd term will be focused on global governance issues which satisfy the UN. Gun prohibition, water and pipeline issues, raising taxes(or revenues enhancement), mineral riches in Africa, wealth confiscation, and putting patsies into top posts in order to paralyze America.
Surviving Benghazi, only to become a prisoner of your own government...................
They confuse aloofness and disenagement with stupidity and incompetence.
Dictators don't need to build relationships.
How long until Sean Penn wants to hang out with our dictator?
Obama is King, Congressmen are mere members of his Court. Pity these fools haven't figured it out.
He's never been interested in the work of the Presidency. But he wants the adulation and the perks. He's compensating.
Needs Democratic backing.LOL the Emperor doesn't require backing.
The congressional black caucus has added (OSSTM),obama supplemental sky travel miles to their demands for their people. If Egypt gets free F-16's at $80 million a copy, surely the folk in poor urban districts should be getting free planes too. Food, education, housing, healthcare, gas vouchers, transit passes, healthcare, cell phones, and EITC, should be the bare minimum. A Brother's gotta git around a longer ways than some Colt Malt down at the corner with an EBT card.
The steady influx of 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year will change the electorate of this country. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today it is one in 8--the highest in 90 years; and by 2050 one in five will be foreign born, the highest in our history.
The 2012 election showed we have already reached the tipping point in terms of the WH. The Dems are now the permanent majority and will elect anyone with a D after his/her name, including a failed President. Hillary will be the next President in 2016 except for some physical reason why she couldn't run. It won't matter because any Dem nominated will win.
The news media's lack of scrutiny (or even casual curiosity) about what really happened at Benghazi and their unwillingness to pursue obvious leads are danger signs for anyone who cares about freedom.
> ...Aloof, Disengaged Obama
That is how cult leaders behave.
I concur. Bughroch was prepared for Oahu, and then, he discovered the voters actually approved of the enslavement agenda. Obviously, he is free, and even obliged now, to try for the gold in his second term.
Is overreach even possible today, for Obama? It will be up to Americans to determine, define, and defeat.
Our king and potentate does not want to direct....that would mean having to actually do some work...
Obama simply wants to rule...and he definitely wanted to continue to reign and lord over us..by winning the last election

Although O.J. Mayo may have gotten a warm welcome from the fans during the opening announcement, the Grizzlies made sure he did not have a confortable return. Tony Allen keep Mayo off balance and out of rhythm the entire game, and was rewarded by a 3 for 11 night with only 10 points in 35 minutes. Apart from the return of Mayo and an unusual technical foul for Coach Hollins (more on that later), the Grizz made this division win seem routine.

The Society for Artistic Research (SAR) was established in March 2010 as an independent, non-profit organisation for the purpose of publishing the Journal for Artistic Research (JAR). It is a dynamic, international group that is encouraging discussion and activity dedicated to artistic research. SAR is comprised of both individual and institutional members from around the globe, who support SAR through the payment of a membership fee, sponsorship, and the gifting of their time and expertise.

The JAR review process
All expositions in JAR are peer reviewed (except those in our inaugural issue 0). The steps of this process after the reception of a submission are:
1. Assessment by the Editorial Board
The Editorial Board assesses if the submission meets the basic requirements to be passed to review (see submissions) and may suggest some changes before doing so.
2. Invitation of Reviewers
The Editorial Board invites at least three reviewers for the submission, approaching experts from disciplinary fields of the submission, including artistic, scientific and scholarly disciplines. The author(s) may propose one of the three reviewers. JAR expects the reviewers to engage critically and supportively with the field of artistic research.
JAR employs a 'single blind' review process. The reviewers are anonymous until publication; while the names of the authors are announced. In the art field, a 'double blind' review process can be seen as particularly inappropriate, as the research often carries the 'signature' of those who conducted it.
Peer-reviewers are asked to use the JAR Peer Review Form to report on their assessment. The form can be downloaded here.
3. Decision on the basis of reviews
Having received the reviews, the Editorial Board decides whether the submission is:
If a submission is accepted, the reviewers are asked to compile a final set of comments based on the re-worked submission. These comments are then published alongside the submission as 'JAR Reviewer Comments' and linked to from the JAR table of contents.
We continue to debate what peer review entails in the context of JAR. We believe that research can be assessed, while at the same time we recognize that artistic research work is, by its nature, an open undertaking, resisting overly rigid regulations. JAR itself is work-in-progress. The emerging community of artistic researchers will learn and define through practice what it means to expose artistic research.
If the submission is accepted, it will be published in one of the next issues of JAR.
Points of attention for reviewing JAR submissions
Note: This is work in progress. Reviewing criteria are suggestions that allow the probing of an exposition in particular ways without being prescriptive.
1. Which aspects of the submission are of interest / relevance and why?
JAR seeks submissions that address important issues or problems in an artistic manner that engages others in the field. When answering this question, please take into account the submission's subject matter, its methods, outcomes or any other aspect that you deem important.
2. Does the submission live up to its potential?
Please reflect on the potential of the submission and the way it is realised. How might the submission be improved to better match its potential?
3. How does the submission expose practice as research?
JAR is open to submissions from various methodological backgrounds, as long as they expose practice as research. By this we mean that the submission exposes, translates, stages, performs etc. the practice it presents so as to engage with its own meaning, to challenge existing epistemic horizons or to offer new insights.
Please take into account:
Ultimately, a submission may successfully expose practice as research despite disappointing conventional academic criteria for the assessment of research. If applicable, please state where the breaching of such criteria is detrimental to the submission.
4. How well do design and navigation support the submission?
Design and navigation should support the proposition. Its reception should make sense and not frustrate (in the case that 'frustration' is not deemed an important element of the submission).
JAR does not operate with a minimum or maximum word count because, as a rich-media publication, we could technically accept an exposition without words. But, as a guide, we advise that a reader/viewer should be able to explore the main part of the exposition and understand the research in approximately one hour.
In addition:
Reviewing for JAR
JAR has a growing database of reviewers who generously agree to contribute their time and points of view aiding us in our aim to publish and debate artistic research. The journal welcomes the interest of possible reviewers from all disciplines, whether operating inside or outside the academic context. Contact us (email@example.com) if you feel you can help us in this important role.

The expanded cinema performance 'Palestinian Wildlife Series' parallels posthuman and postcolonial circumstance, using appropriated imagery of African animals shot directly from a television set in Palestine.
Chronicling the experimentation and process that went into this work of 'animal-video choreography', the author interweaves research on Palestine, materialist film, and Afrofuturist thought. The exposition reflects on the impact upon Khalil's work of women performance artists and avant-garde jazz musician Sun Ra, presenting a journey from text-based and signifier-heavy early experiments to the wordless and open-ended cinematic outcome the author comes to defend.
Drawing on her transition from live performance to moving image production, this exposition will interest those concerned with interdisciplinarity and embodiment in digital imagery. It examines alternative modes of art activism and political uses of abstraction and experimentalism in art, specifically where critical ethnic and postcolonial studies are concerned. It supports discussions of rights and representation within artistic research and beyond from a diasporic perspective.
This work is an attempt to combine the fields of architecture, critical theory, and literature. It deals with the question of how an architectural artefact develops its meaning within a larger discourse through its image, and how this relates to the everyday life of the physical space of the artefact.
The work has been developed by translating certain theoretical ideas to a fictional setting in order to explore these ideas through the medium of literature. The theoretical starting point thus takes on the form of characters, dialogues, and events within a specific architectural environment in an attempt to relate these diverse ideas to one another and to the physical space. The resulting short stories have then been translated to images of physical spaces, which try to detect these theoretical ideas on the level of the space itself.
The complete work comprises three short stories, each dealing with a different type of architecture: the single-family house, the hotel room, and the office space.
This exposition deals with narcissism, narrativity, self-portraiture, and photography. It illustrates a practice-based research project instigated in 2007 that aims to decode and recover narcissism as a useful sense-making scenario or system. This approach can help make sense of photography and self-portraiture in the present, and can be employed in the development of visual strategies in photographic self-portraiture.
Here I present the practical work that was produced and the theory that influenced my practice: namely, the revaluation of the relationship between self-portraiture and narcissism, and ideas from the semiotics of photography and narrative theory. The three main sections of the exposition illustrate the chronological development of my work, and each section is divided into two parts.
The first part of each section presents the practical work, whereas the second part illustrates the theoretical aspect of this project, which stems from a wish to reflect on my own art practice and increase my understanding of self-portraiture, while also interrogating narrative codes and devices in photography, such as the double, mise en abyme, and mirroring structures, and their association with narcissism. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, semiotics, and narratology, I argue that narcissism in self-portraiture can simultaneously represent an imaginary withdrawal of the artist, a structure within the work, and a vehicle for narrativity. By eluding structured language systems, narcissism provides a vocabulary for narrativising procedures, as well as meeting the artist's/viewer's modes of engagement.
These ideas informed the practical component of the research project and provided the basis for a number of visual strategies employed in the development of the photographic self-portraits that are presented in the second part of each section. In these sections, I also explain the different strategies adopted in producing my images: the role of codes, narrative devices, layering, and reframing for understanding the density of an image and its inherent narcissism. In the process I propose that narcissism should receive a much more central role in the consideration of images and the way they communicate with a contemporary audience.
This exposition considers the use of mycology and chance operation as a method and material for arts-based research. The exposition details a series of mushroom hunting excursions designed to engage four artist-teachers in collaborative dialogue about their practice and identity. As participant and researcher converse, the hunts unfold as dérive-like encounters with a landscape interrupted through chance and embodied experience. The project draws from the work of artist and composer John Cage, who used fungi and mushroom hunting as one of many devices for exploring sound and its relationship to environment. Contextual research and documentation offer a glimpse into this process, while considering unstructured, kinetic, and uncertain ways of knowing in qualitative and arts-based research. The aim is to explore mycology as a post-formal lens for understanding the pedagogical and creative practices of the artist-teacher as a networked, fluid, and relational system.
The recent enthusiasm for gestures of hospitality in contemporary art promises relief from the individualising forces of neoliberal capitalism and the professionalised hierarchies of the art world. Yet, Jacques Derrida describes the gesture of hospitality as paradoxically asserting a kind of sovereignty that underwrites the 'right to host', returning hospitality to the conditionality of the authorising institution. In settler-colonial territories, these institutionally underwritten gestures always sit uneasily atop indigenous sovereignties that have not been ceded, requiring the positive gestures of hospitality to remain open to their structuring fissures. This paper considers figurations of hospitality and responsibility in works by Derrida, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Raqs Media Collective in reading the art collective Local Time's research-driven practice that seeks to reconcile indigenous self-determination and settler gestures of hospitality.
'Place setting: notes on Red76's Occupy Yr. Home' is a collaborative piece of writing between Heath Schultz and Sam Gould, primary organiser of the artist group Red76. The piece doubles as a critical review of the Red76 project 'Occupy Yr. Home' – a facilitated conversation in a participant's home around the themes of occupation and the domestic sphere. The text explores problems that plague much participatory art and social practice. Unique to this piece of writing is a parallel conversation (played out in the footnotes) in which Sam responds to Heath's review, offering anecdotes, clarifications, and thoughts. The dialogue within the footnotes suggests divergent viewpoints from the 'authoritative text'. In this way, the experimental form of the piece struggles with the important question of how different experiences of the same event can texture and complicate discourses around participatory art.
The Research Catalogue (RC) is a searchable, documentary database of artistic research work and its exposition. The RC is an inclusive, open-ended, bottom-up research tool that supports the journal's academic contributions.

These are a good pair of shears for at home use. The package recommends it for cutting blunt bangs and layering. The shears are sturdy, but glide easily between fingers. These work perfectly to trim my bangs while waiting between haircuts at the salon.
These work fine! They are very sharp at the tip, so be careful cutting your little ones bangs!
