Idea, Put 3D objects at your visitors fingertips: UVaM on the iPad, November 29, 2011
Hopi doll with painted headdress springs to life, spinning under my finger tips on a new iPad app from the University of Virginia Art Museum (UVaM).
The delightful app presents 19 different objects in 3D, to spin and zoom, providing an immediacy that rivals seeing an object in real life. In fact, it's better in many ways than peering at an object through a protective case because the objects can be spun through a full 360°, view under bright lighting, at high resolution.

The Hook, Make it classy! How the Renaissance codified a style by Laura Parsons, October 27, 2011
Repeat after me: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite—anyone who's taken high school Latin knows these are the five types of columns used in Roman architecture. Right? Wrong! As the University of Virginia Art Museum's current exhibition, "Variety, Archeology, and Ornament: Renaissance Architectural Prints from Column to Cornice," shows, Roman builders were much more imaginative than later architectural experts, like Palladio and Vignola, would have us believe.

The Hook, Getting into shape: Printmakers color perceptions, June 27, 2011, by Laura Parsons
"How to Steal like an Artist" is a humorous blog post by Texas-based artist Austin Kleon, full of down-to-earth advice for creative types. (Google it, if you're not reading this online where there's a hyperlink). Kleon writes that artists by nature constantly cop others' ideas and methods, adapting them for their own use. Examples of just such beneficent thievery are currently on view in the University of Virginia Art Museum's exhibition, New Images, New Techniques: Abstraction in British Screenprints circa 1970.
The seven artists included in the show not only appropriated silkscreen printing from the realm of industrial and commercial production, but they also snagged ideas from previous abstract artists as well as from each other. Drawn from the Museum's permanent collection, the works displayed reveal the dynamic interplay of ideas between artists working in close proximity, as they used the same medium to delve into relationships between shape and color on the page.

The Hook, "That '70s show: U.Va. paints an era," by Laura Parsons, March 1, 2011, issue #1009
No artist works in a vacuum. Whether consciously or un-, artists constantly respond to a host of factors: exposure to other artwork, the immediate environment, ideas discussed with creative types, political, economic, and social circumstances, etc. But inevitably, what seems radical at the moment will fade to unremarkable in the future.
So, reinvigorating the zeitgeist of the era was curator Andrea Douglas's challenge in organizing Excavating New Ground: American Art in the 1970s, currently on view at the University of Virginia Art Museum. Douglas selected 13 paintings and one sculpture from the Museum's permanent collection, most of them monumental in size, to reflect the "big" East Coast ideas of the period, which included a both/and rather than either/or approach to formerly clear-cut divisions like realism and abstraction, sculpture and painting.

The Hook, Southern (dis)comfort: Photographers expose their roots, February 21, 2011, by Laura Parsons
"You don't have a southern bone in your body," a friend recently remarked. She meant it as a compliment, but the truth is I consider myself quintessentially southern. I was born in Lexington, to parents who were both native Virginians, and although I don't identify with bigots, moonshiners, or those who pine for the Confederacy, I do love storytelling and the melancholia of faded beauty.
The South is fundamental to my identity, just as it is for the six artists with work in the UVA Art Museum's exhibition, Southern Views/Southern Photographers. Each contributor offers a distinct aesthetic, but what Shelby Lee Adams, William Christenberry, Emmet Gowin, Sally Mann, Pamela Pecchio, and Jeff Whetstone share is a sense of place and a nostalgic impulse that finds beauty in the not-always-pretty way history— both personal and impersonal— unfolds

Cavalier Daily, "Framing Andy Warhol: U.Va. Art Museum shows collection of portraits and snaphsots by post-modern master" by Sofia Economopoulos, February 10, 2011
"Old-school glamour made its appearance at the University's Art Museum Jan. 14 when photography by Andy Warhol came to town. The Andy Warhol Foundation in Pittsburgh, Pa. gave more than 28,000 photographs to 200 museums across the nation. The pieces on display include the Polaroids that later became his iconic, four-color silk-screen portraits and snapshots from Warhol's photographic diary (1975-1980). The photos are striking in their variety of style and technique and prominently feature both celebrity and unknown subjects."
"These photographs are like a time capsule of New York in the 1970s and '80s," curator Matthew Affron said of the collection. "My favorites are pictures of celebrities like Debbie Harry and Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz... Many are spontaneous, candid snapshots of places he was and the people he saw there, and then there are the studies for portraits, so it's this back and forth between the posed and the unposed."

The Chronicle of Higher Education, Art and Alzheimer's at U.Va. by Carolyn Mooney, February 3 , 2011
"Art engages the senses and makes few demands. It is easily appreciated for its own sake. It humanizes."
"That helps explain why more art museums are developing programs for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. The University of Virginia Art Museum recently began offering its Eyes on Art program, a collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association's Central and Western Virginia Chapter. Docents trained to deal with Alzheimer's patients lead them on small-group tours when the museum is closed to the public. The tours, which also include family members and care givers, typically focus on three paintings that encourage discussion and self-expression: The Lobby by Willard Franklin Midgette; Jerdon's Courser, a Frank Stella abstract; and Our Good Earth, a World War II poster by John Steuart Curry."

Daily Progress,"Industrial Resolution" by David Maurer, December 27, 2010
It was a time when people throughout Europe were being uprooted from ancestral soil like market produce, and driven by invisible forces to large cities. The rule of nobility was being ended by mob decree and the busy work of the guillotine. Towering factory chimneys were beginning to spew smoke rising from the fires of progress. And within the human mind was flowering the profound notion of equality, staying the knee from bending to any king of flesh. Feeding this roiling sea of change were the surging rivers of awakening science and technology. Like the cave painters and stone etchers before them, the artists and writers had to document and make sense of it all. As Irish poet, writer, and physician Oliver Goldsmith shows us in his 1770 poem, "The Deserted Village," they performed magnificently.
The works of some of the greatest painters and writers of this period, roughly from the last part of the 18th century to the first part of the 19th century, are presented in a new exhibit at the University of Virginia Art Museum. Titled From Classic to Romantic: British Art in an Age of Transition, it runs through Jan. 30. "This exhibition is about one of the most tremulous periods in Western history — the age of revolutions," said Bruce Boucher, director of the Museum. "You start about 1750 with neoclassicism, which was the last age to have an unalloyed admiration for the classical world. Read more >
The Hook, The 2010 visual vault, December 23, 2010, by Laura Parsons
Despite an economic climate that challenged both art practitioners and purveyors, the Charlottesville art scene made several memorable leaps in 2010.
Man, oh, Man Ray: In late August, the University of Virginia Art Museum made another impressive showing by hosting the traveling exhibit, "Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens," which examined how Man Ray's photographs of African sculpture shifted it from being regarded as anthropological evidence to being considered fine art. Numerous lectures and a film series augmented the rich and informative main exhibition, which included not only images by Man Ray and his contemporaries but also the objects they photographed.

Daily Progress. "Ray of Light," by David Maurer, September 21, 2010
The horrific bloodletting of World War I helped ignite fires of artist expression that continue to impact human sensibilities to this day.
From the ghastly ferment arose literary voices such as those of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. And at the vanguard of the visual arts was Emmanuel Radnitzky — known to the world as Man Ray.
The contributions of this American artist, who spent much of his career in Paris, have become increasingly appreciated since his death in 1976. Before the start of the new millennium, ARTnews, the oldest and most widely circulated art-related magazine in the world, listed Man Ray among its top 25 most influential artists of the 20th century.
Although the Philadelphia-born artist thought of himself primarily as a painter, he also was an exceptional fashion and portrait photographer. This latter pursuit is the focus of the University of Virginia Art Museum's major exhibit, Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens. Read more >

The Hook. "Out of Africa: Man Ray adjusts the lens," by Laura Parsons, August 30, 2010
"Wow" is not a word you see on this page. So pay attention. Almost a year ago, University of Virginia Art Museum director Bruce Boucher announced the museum would be hosting a Man Ray show this fall. Since then, I've been counting the days. But I had no idea what a rich and enriching experience awaited me. Wow.
More than an exhibition about Man Ray's work, Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens examines a zeitgeist moment in 20th century art and culture in the U.S. and Europe, when African art shifted from being regarded as anthropological evidence to being celebrated as fine art worthy of appreciation and imitation. The show includes over 50 photographs by Man Ray, as well as images by his contemporaries (e.g. Walker Evans and André Kertész), displayed alongside the actual African pieces photographed. In addition, the exhibit presents African-inspired artwork from the period, along with books, magazine articles, and catalogues. Read more >

"From the entrance on Rugby Road, the event itself looked to have wilted in the 92 degree afternoon heat; it was move-in day at U.Va., and students rode past the Bayly Building in the backs of pickup trucks, beside their mattresses and couches.

Festival-goers made their own African art, watched tribal performances and took tours of Man Ray's exhibit, featuring his work. Bruce Boucher is the museum's director. He says Man Ray was influential in shedding light on African art. "What strikes me about these images is their potency," Boucher explains. "They are the perfect balance between what's real and abstract." The exhibit will run until October 10.

The Hook. "Face forward: Uncapping the lens of vulnerability," by Laura Parson, July 26, 2010
I thought I knew what I was in for when I visited the University of Virginia Art Museum's exhibit, "The Figure in Photography, 1995-2005," curated by museum ace Andrea Douglas and art prof William Wylie. But instead of images examining the human body, what I found was a show highlighting work by eight photographers who, with one exception, explore context-specific, color portraiture.
Each artist dismantles the artificial veneer of formal portraits to disclose the vulnerability of the subjects in front of the lens. Several of the show's photographers work within particular environments, like Dave Woody, who shoots adolescent boxers before and after bouts. Read more >

UVA Today. "Conservator Gives Museum's Statues a Spring Cleaning Before Exhibit," March 24, 2010
Adam Jenkins, a visiting conservator, spent several days in residence at the museum repairing two early 20th-century sculptures that will go on display April 2, along with other key pieces from the University collection.
"Pause in a Dance" (1908), by German sculptor Reinhold Begas, is a cast bronze statue of a sensuous, partially veiled female dancer holding a tambourine. The museum purchased the sculpture last year shortly after Bruce Boucher became its new director. Boucher had been familiar with the piece and coveted it.
" 'Pause in the Dance' struck me as a major acquisition of a major piece of sculpture by a contemporary of Rodin," Boucher said.
"Thomas Fortune Ryan" (1910) is a marble bust by French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Read more >

The tour, which lasted a half hour, provided an opportunity for the students, who were from a number of different advanced language classes, to hear someone other than their teacher speak Russian.
"It's a chance for the students to test their language skills outside the classroom and see how they can handle conversations," said assistant professor Lilia Travisano, who heads the Russian language program in the College of Arts & Sciences.

"The first time U.Va. displayed an Alexander Calder "stabile," in the 1950s, the work was met with questions and dark Cold War insinuations. Now, the university is exhibiting another Calder installation on its historic grounds, and the reception is entirely different.
Since last March, a new presence has dominated one of the most heavily trafficked spaces on the grounds of the University of Virginia. The monumental, 12-foot-tall Tripes, which now stands near the entrance of Peabody Hall, was made in 1974 by renowned American modernist Alexander Calder. Even today, it resonates with echoes of conspiracy and innovation that once characterized its maker and his oeuvre. It also recalls the once notorious and now mostly forgotten presence of another Calder sculpture, Steel Fish, which briefly stood in front of the Rotunda more than 60 years ago. " Read more >

On a recent morning Dorothy C. Wong gazed at an inscrutable face of stone and smiled.
Like countless others before her, the associate professor of East Asian art at the University of Virginia was experiencing the silent communion of thought and soul-stirring sensation that great art can inspire.
A thousand years and more have passed since skilled hands, using mallet and chisel, shaped the sacred countenance of Buddha and other Buddhist deities now on display in the main gallery of the U.Va. Art Museum. For the next two months, these ancient works of art will fill the large room with an unseen radiance that can be felt as surely as a human touch.
Wong is the curator of "Treasures Rediscovered: Chinese Stone Sculpture from the Sackler Collections at Columbia University." This is the final stop in the two-year exhibition tour organized by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia.
Considered one of the most notable collections of Chinese stone sculpture in the nation, it includes 21 monumental sculptures that include steles, full figures, heads of divinities and funerary objects. Some of the pieces are more than 2,000 years old, and together they provide a visual time line of the spread of Chinese Buddhist culture along the extensive Asian trade routes known as the Silk Road."

Gabriel Laderman: Unconventional Realist, exhibition news
The Wall Street Journal, "Murderers and Metaphors: And other shows worth seeing in New York's galleries," by Lance Esplund
"Native New Yorker Gabriel Laderman (born in 1929), though relatively unknown today, is one of the strongest and most inventive figurative painters now living. During the 1960s, when Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism reigned, he was a leading pioneer in re-establishing metaphoric, post-abstract figuration. This compact, traveling retrospective -- the artist's first -- of some two dozen paintings from the 1960s through the 1990s, now making its fourth of five stops, is welcome and long overdue."

The mobile added a missing piece to the decor, Art Museum Director Bruce Boucher said. The Untitled Calder mobile links together two of the museums signature pieces located in the entrance gallery: Frank Stella's Jerdon's Courser, an abstract piece, and Willard Midgette's Lobby, a realist painting. All three works are pieces from the 1970s, the peak decade of the abstract movement, Boucher said.
The black mobile in the museum is made of sheet metal, rod and wire and moves with changing air currents generated by the museum's new climate control system.

The University of Virginia Magazine. "The Vision for the Village: Jefferson's drawings show multiple influences and singular genius" by Maura Singleton, Fall 2009.
"Before the University of Virginia was canonized as an architectural masterpiece, it was disparaged for the odd proportions and outdated style of its pavilions and "frail" materials. And long before Thomas Jefferson was hailed for his genius, skepticism persisted that such an amateur could have designed it himself.
"Jefferson died in 1826 believing he had created a leading educational institution and an architectural landmark. Posterity continues to reappraise it; perceptions have obviously improved, though speculation over the sources of his ground plan—the gardens at Marly-le-Roy? The Hôtel de Salm in Paris?—has become an absorbing hair-splitting exercise among historians and critics.
"For U.Va. architectural historian Richard Guy Wilson, ongoing research has strengthened his conviction that the University was, ultimately, Jefferson's own design. In the U.Va. Art Museum's current exhibit, "Thomas Jefferson's Academical Village: The Creation of an Architectural Masterpiece, 1817-1826," his rule breaking reveals itself. A reprise of a 1993 exhibit, the current show explores the genesis of the University through a trove of original drawings, Jefferson's correspondence with colleagues and newly gleaned information about the construction process."

The decision to proceed with a renovation of the building - designed in the Beaux Arts style by former architecture dean Edmund S.

"The Bayly is a fine and beautiful gem in need of extensive polishing," she said.
"The second phase of the museum's renaissance will include a four-level, 20,000 gross-square-foot addition on the west side of the existing building, currently in the planning stage.

Mr. Jefferson led the recently hired Boucher to the University by way of a book he wrote about Andrea Palladio, an Italian architect whose work greatly influenced Jefferson's designs. Sound familiar? Think "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." Neither Bacon nor Palladio, however, can take all of the credit. Boucher already had a vested interest in the University through family connections, including a brother who graduated from the Medical School. Read more >

University faculty, museum staff, administrators and students gathered yesterday at the University Art Museum to witness the introduction of its new director, Bruce Ambler Boucher.
"It's a great honor to have been chosen by the search committee to become the next director of the University Art Museum," Boucher said, thanking the crowd for being indoors with him on the unseasonably warm winter afternoon.

C-ville. "UVA announces new director " by Chiara Canzi, January 29, 2009
At a press conference today, UVA announced Bruce Boucher as the new director of the University of Virginia Art Museum. Boucher, an architectural historian, educator and museum curator, comes to the University from the Art Institute of Chicago. His experience in the field spans more than 35 years.
This afternoon, Interim Director Elizabeth Turner and UVA Provost Tim Garson introduced Boucher to a group of faculty, University officials and students as "a versatile leader and effective communicator." "Bruce comes to UVA at the right moment," said Turner, "as we begin to imagine and move forward with the newly expanded role of the University Museum." The intention is to physically increase the size of the collection and increase the profile of the museum nationally. … "I find it very heartening that the University of Virginia is seeking to raise the profile of the arts and strengthen the art museum in a time when, let's face it, many universities are closing museums and selling off their collections," he said.

Thomas Jefferson studied Palladio's work as he prepared to design UVa's Academical Village. Read more >
Daily Progress. "Drawing on the political climate" by David Maurer. January 18, 2009
As many as a 100 examples of beautiful things created by Oliphant are on display in the University of Virginia Art Museum through March 8. [Exhibition extended to March 13.] The exhibit, Leadership: Oliphant Cartoons and Sculpture from the Bush Years, includes cartoon drawings, pencil sketches, oversized charcoal caricatures and sculptures in wax and bronze.
The man widely considered the dean of the editorial cartoon profession will be providing the public with a rare opportunity to watch him plying his trade during a special event Friday. From 5:30 to 7 p.m. Oliphant will draw and converse with political satirist and writer P.J. O'Rourke and artist and art commentator William Dunlap in the Harrison Institute auditorium of the Small Special Collection Library at U.Va.
… An artist who greatly influenced Oliphant was 19th-century French painter and caricaturist Honore Daumier. …In a magnificent salute to this connection, the UVa Art Museum is accompanying Oliphant's exhibit with one featuring works of Daumier, who died in 1879. With the Line of Daumier presents paintings, drawings and lithographs of the famous artist, some of which are on loan from The Phillips Collection…. Read more >

The Hook, November 6, 2008, "The future was then: Hideyo Okamura channels El Lissitzky" by Laura Parsons
"...For two weeks in September, contemporary artist Hideyo Okamura occupied the Museum's south gallery- a.k.a. the "Pine Room"- and transformed it into a modern work of art designed to showcase El Lissitzky's visionary prints. ...The interplay between Lissitzky's prints and Okamura's space is dynamic. Each enlivens the other. Without Lissitzky's portfolios, Okamura's exquisitely detailed room would lack context. Likewise, Lissitzky's 1920s prints gain new vitality from Okamura's staging.

The Cavalier Daily, October 2, 2008, " U.Va. Art Museum presents: El Lissitzky", by Jeannette Williams
" 'Imagine a moment when artists are asked to invent a new language of Art to convey a new way of being in this modern world.' This challenge is posed by the press release for the new El Lissitzky exhibit at U.Va's Art Museum. Located on Rugby Road, an art museum might not be the first thing you'd expect to find on that infamous stretch of asphalt, nor an exhibit from one of the progenitors of a style of art combining the geometry of space with movement. Until Dec. 28, however, that's exactly what you'll find there. Lissitzky's exhibit will be hosted on the first floor of the museum and will house two complete portfolios of his art, Proun and Victory Over the Sun." Read more >

Falls Church News-Press on William Christenberry: Site/Possession, at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center: "Context is a funny thing. It can color and flavor things in unexpected ways. The current offerings at Katzen Arts Center feature the art of southerners, or those that had their roots in the South. ....What seems curious and quirky at first becomes more and more menacing as the space pinches down on you. There you find hooded portraits of Bubbas too brave to show their faces."
February 2008
Organized by the University of Virginia Art Museum William Christenberry: Site/Possession, this exhibition features 50 of Christenberry's rarely-exhibited drawings and the Klan Room Tableau, which includes over 200 works, is on view at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center through May 11, 2008. The Eagle, American University's independent student voice reported: "Artist William Christenberry is no stranger to odd looks from store clerks. During a tour of his new exhibit "Site/Possession," which opened Tuesday at the AU Museum, the artist recounted one such instance. "'I have to ask, sir,'" Christenberry recalled the cashier saying, "'What are you going to do with 20 G.I. Joe dolls?' And I said, 'You wouldn't believe me if I told you.'"It is hard to believe what Christenberry can do with those dolls, or paint or ink for that matter." Read more >

True Blood, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, Larry King - Vampires are everywhere these days. Actually, they've always been everywhere. It seems like every culture on Earth has some version of the vampire.
And, as sad as it is to see what has happened to the vampire recently, what with the sparkling and the screeching teenage fans, it turns out that other cultures have a huge head start in making vampires ridiculous.
Just take a look at...
7The Loogaroo
Resembling a normal human woman by day, the Loogaroo only takes vampiric form at night. She does this by rubbing herself down with a special lotion, which is a totally hot set-up, and then slipping off her entire skin, which uh... quashes the sexiness just a bit.
It ain't like this.
She then performs a ritualistic dance that causes turkey wings to sprout out of her back, though this seems expressly designed to confuse, since what actually allows her to fly are the flames that shoot out of her armpits and ass.
Holy shit! Have they not made a movie about this?
This one's on us, Hollywood.
Leaving a neon trail of vampire farts, she rockets out through her roof and goes on the prowl for victims, which are usually infants and children. Apparently lacking even respectable fangs, the Loogaroo carries a comically oversized straw wherever she goes, and inserts it through the thatched walls of her victim's hut to drink blood from the sleeper's cheek. That's right: The Loogaroo subscribes to the Willy Wonka approach to horror.
6Alp (Germany)
One of the most well-known bogeymen of German folklore is the Alp. Meaning simply "elf" in German, the Alp opts not to bake mediocre cookies or build toys in an arctic sweatshop, but rather prefers to attack women in their sleep. These attacks cause horrible nightmares, and are often accompanied by a sensation called "alpdruck" or "elf pressure," which is what we know now as sleep paralysis.
Sitting on its victim's chest, the tiny demon would feed by sucking blood from the breasts, probably because it was a Thinking Man's vampire. Hey, you've got to get blood from somewhere, might as well get to second base while you're at it.
"Tee hee! I want to suck blood from your tits!"
Alps were notorious for their "amazing" shape-shifting powers, and were supposedly able to turn invisible or take on the form of any animal. That sounds fairly handy actually, except for the fact that they could only use these powers while wearing their beloved magic hat, which legends explicitly state remains visible regardless of their form.
"She suspects nussing!"
The presence of a hat-wearing animal is the most surefire means of identifying an Alp in its magical disguise, which was first dutifully recorded by the vampire slayer, Captain Obvious, in his field guide to the supernatural: Shit It Took Me Way Too Long To Figure Out: Vol. 1.

When Cindi Solomon lines up speakers to offer wellness and work/life-balance programs to Nationwide Children's Hospital employees, she sometimes turns to a free matchmaking service that finds the experts she needs.
The nonprofit Central Ohio Professional Education Council provides speakers on topics such as organizing important documents and estate planning, she said. And members do it without any accompanying sales pitch.
"I was very surprised," said Solomon, the hospital's manager of employee-wellness operations. "I kept wondering, 'What's in it for the speakers?' ... like there had to be a catch or a hook, but they're very careful about not soliciting."
Eliminating the hard sell was the motivation behind the council, said financial adviser Jay Lindner, one of the three founders. The service was born in 2004 to find professionals focused on providing education, not gaining sales, when offering community-enrichment lectures.
The council, known as COPEC, offers speakers on dozens of topics, including identity theft, diabetes prevention, divorce recovery and end-of-life planning. Presentations have been given to employees at businesses and to nonprofit and government groups, including central Ohio Kiwanis clubs, the city of Dublin, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks and Grange Insurance.
COPEC requires speakers to sign a contract promising to refrain from marketing or sales techniques. They're not even to hand out a business card unless it's specifically requested.
Lindner said the council offers a "veil of protection" that vets speakers for clients and has them on standby. Each presenter pays a $300 annual fee, waived for speakers from nonprofit groups, to support COPEC, which has two part-time employees.
"It's a very community-oriented, philanthropic thing," said Lindner, a partner at Retirement Strategies Ltd. in Dublin who speaks on financial matters. "We just want organizations to know they can go here and be confident it's done right."
Presenters are enthusiastic about their industries and about promoting the council as a group that "values its mission and sticks to its mission," said COPEC speaker Megan Amaya, the director of health promotion at Ohio State University's nursing college.
Her main reason for participating: "I'm very passionate about health and wellness, and I love to educate people."
COPEC has expanded mainly through word of mouth and now schedules about 15 presentations a month, said Sara Krueger, the council's executive director. Some groups make requests on an as-needed basis; others schedule a year of employee presentations at a time.
Melinda Gilpin, the director of the Professional Land Surveyors of Ohio, called the service a " one-stop shop" that lined up several experts to help her augment offerings at a recent conference. They provided tips for business owners on topics such as customer service and workers' compensation.
"It was so gratifying to know that I could go to this organization with some specific needs and tap into a variety of speakers that I wouldn't have the ability on my own to find," she said.

Skip to comments.House blocks EPA from banning lead in ammunition
Posted on 04/17/2012 6:50:44 PM PDT by neverdem
The House on Tuesday passed legislation giving hunters and fishing enthusiasts access to certain public lands to pursue their sport and also blocked the Environmental Protection Agency from banning lead for use in ammunition and fishing tackle.
The Sportsmens Heritage Act passed on a mostly party line vote of 274 yeas and 146 nays.
Republicans argued that the ability of sportsmen and women to fish and shoot on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Forest Service is being threatened by the Obama administration and environmentalists through bureaucratic regulations.
Republicans also said that banning lead bullets and tackle would cause economic harm to the recreation industry and kill jobs.
It would be a massive power grab by the EPA without a clear lack of legal authority, but has that ever stopped the EPA under this administration? Sadly, it hasnt, said Rep. Doc Hastings (RWash.) chairman of the House Resources Committee.
The bill recognizes hunting and fishing as historic and traditional recreational activities on public land and requires the federal bureaucracy to support those rights, said Rep. Rob Bishop (RUtah), chairman of the Resources subcommittee on national parks, forests and public lands.
Its simple language: if agencies in the bureaucracy of Washington want some areas of land closed to the public for recreation, they have to have a darned good reason to do it, Bishop said.
Hastings and Bishop cited an article in U.S. News and World Report stating the proposal to ban hunting on BLM land was in response to urbanites that freak out when they hear gunfire, and that the decision was an effort to reduce social conflict.
I suggest that is not a logical reason why these rights should be prohibited, Bishop said.
Federal managers are treating the public lands as their personal fiefdoms rather than managing the vast properties for public use, Hastings said.
The public outcry following the BLM threat forced Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to abandon the plan. However, nothing prevents a future bureaucratic maneuver to limit access, Hastings said.
Democrats opposed the bill and called it a tool of the gun lobby.
Rep. Raul Grijalva (DAriz.) argued that the greatest threats to hunting and fishing do not come from federal land managers, but from development, pollution and destruction of wildlife habitat.
The problem this bill claims to solve actually does not exist, Grijalva said. This bill is intended to wrap (land managers) in red tape and intimidate them and to score political points with outside groups.
Federal law already bans the EPA from regulating lead ammunition, however, more than 100 environmental groups petitioned the agency last month to ban it claiming the lead can poison those who eat wild game shot with the ammunition, or other animals that accidentally ingest the metal in dead carcasses.
There is no scientific evidence for their position, Hastings said. So this (bill) makes it crystal clear Congress has primacy on this issue and it should be respected.
If the House can stop the EPA, why don't they do it more?
Hell yeah! Resist tyranny everywhere it presents itself.
Great news. Glad they passed it, but.....
"So this (bill) makes it crystal clear Congress has primacy on this issue and it should be respected."
Congress primacy is every bit as important an issue as we the people face off against this Leftist anti Congress, Ex-Order Administration.
Johnson (IL) and Dold need to be primaried.

They didn't block the EPA from doing anything. This will probably not see the light of day in the Senate nor will Obama sign it.
Stupid headline.
Next up: Costly lead abatement from soil required at all outdoor ranges.
Lead does not leach out in a normal environment.
Thank the Lord! Now about comment 2, I agree, where ate the stones on the test of the EPA BS!?
You fail to realize that the house has the power to stop whatever they choose to, by simply refusing the funds to do it.
Its all a question of determination.
They got the Coburn Amendment passed. Concealed carry in national parks is a reality. A lot of rat senators up this year will want to sign it.
Because it's just election year pandering and posturing. This bill is a safe vote and will go nowhere in the Senate.
It's dead, Jim.
The House could 'zero' their funding. Why don't they do it?
"Lead does not leach out in a normal environment."
Don't you know that science, regardless of the facts, does not matter...an idiot at Tulane is after tungsten because it was used as a replacement for Pb in ammo and sinkers. She doesn't care about science, only her politics. She protested Newt when he spoke at Tulane. She doesn't believe in free speech either.
What I know is that the EPA has been after us for years and they cant prove any elevated lead levels in water or food.
Shit, we'd all be brain dead if lead leached out in water under like 300°
This is a very good thing. Now to imprison those sad ____ that okayed Fast and Furious/Gunwalker. Stick them in a Mexican prison; one where family members were murdered by the Sinaola cartels thanks to some of the SOB's in our leadership like the racsist AG and others.
Interestingly enough, Dingell voted bad on this one.
Thanks for the info on Dold. Is Dingell still on the NRA's board?
LOL... Yeah... He should know. Most of his constituents are illegal aliens that utterly destroy and pollute the wildlife habitat in the beautiful Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona. That said his comments have nothing to do with the obomba administrations attempt to use bogus agencies like the BLM and EPA to institute yet another federal bureaucratic power grab. Using ammo poisoning wildlife and hunters allegedly trampling and polluting their hunting grounds as the excuse to attack the 2nd Amendment is beyond hypocritical.
This is an old article but it explains and shows what raul's constituents do to BLM managed property and privately owned ranches along our boarders. You ask me there isn't enough lead being used in this area of the country. Read the article here - The Amnesty Trail
It's gotten even worse since this article came out. Why isn't our government doing what's needed to put an end to these atrocities?
I know. The questions redundant isn't it? >:-(
That's the real problem. The EPA, just one agency among many, needs to be abolished or at least castrated. If you don't do that, they just keep pushing and pushing until they find a Congress that's more amenable to their plans. Then the public is stuck with the agency's power grab forever.
One hell of a way to really piss off a bundle of Americans,
some f-ing beauracrat banning ammo and fishing tackle.
Course these are activities obummer has Never done.
Too busy dating men and hiding his past.
The chemicals in the propellant for all ammunition is the next target for the EPA. Watch.
Because they can't. Unless the Senate agrees with them (and they won't), it is just talk.
"Shit, wed all be brain dead if lead leached out in water under like 300°"
It does, but only in liberal homes. I only know of one case in the literature of lead poisoning from a bullet in the body. It was lodged in a joint and the acidic joint fluid caused the bullet to dissolve. All others just sit there and the same for outdoors.
He's not on there, but gets A+ ratings.
some, not all. sweeping generalizations are rarely accurate.
"...Democrats opposed the bill ..."
Communists never have cared for lead in ammunition, especially in the hands of the unwashed masses...lol
They can't, this is just Blabbidy, blah, blah, for the little people, the Senate will never let it happen. How has spending been increased to unconscionable levels under the leadership of Boehner and McConnel? The GOPe is dominated by enemies of the Republic.
National Endowment of the Arts, A group hated by conservatives, yet they still get funded. Remember that Ronald Reagan ran on abolishing the Department of Education, but phony Republicans stopped him.
We have apparently not yet learned the danger of voting for the man with the (R).
If Romney wins they'll likely be able...actually forced to do much more. If Lugar loses, the limp wristers will be even more frightened of not doing the right thing. Their hand will be forced because of the looming defense cuts. I'm not yet cynical enough to believe the GOP will defund Marine Brigades and quintuple Tricare rates while continuing to fund the NEA and the Peace Corps/Job Corps, Americorps, etc.
That's weird.

The Eastern New Mexico University Jazz ensemble is a collection of music majors and non-music majors who have come together to play their favorite music. The band is open to all students.
"They play for local social events," said ENMU Director of Bands Dustin Seifert, "and a couple of members … last semester were actually performing live at Goober's on Tuesday nights."
The band has approximately 20 members. Blayne Bass of Portales has been a member for five years. He started playing jazz when he was in high school in Clovis.
"I started playing with the ensemble when I was in my freshman year and I just continued to play through it," Bass said. "I am the lead trumpet player. I started playing back in high school. We had a director who encouraged people to play in the ensemble. I took an interest in it and tried it, fell in love and have been enjoying it ever since."
The jazz ensemble performs throughout the fall and spring semesters for the university, civic events and the annual ENMU Jazz Fest and they cover a wide range of jazz styles.
"There is more student input than … other ensembles," Bass said. "There are a lot of improv solos, interpretation and stuff. We have our own unique way of portraying the music by being more involved with it."
Some members of the jazz band also play in jazz or blues combo. Bass said some of his friends participate in that group from time to time. He had an opportunity to play with the Southwest Symphony of Hobbs and recently finished a concert with the Clovis Community Band.
Bass hopes to become a music educator after graduating from ENMU and be able to share his talent with family, friends and other students.
"I really like to perform and I really want to be a music educator and be able to teach other people," Bass said. "Because I have a passion for playing and I want to instill that into young people, but I really like to play."

Federal appeals panel: Investigation chilled outspoken residents' speech
Federal housing officials violated the First Amendment rights of three
California residents by investigating them for speaking out against a building
project, a federal appeals court panel has ruled.
In May 1992, a nonprofit housing developer, Resources for Community
Development, applied for a zoning permit from the Berkeley Zoning Adjustment
Board to convert a local motel into a housing unit for the homeless.
Three neighbors — Alexandra White, Joseph Deringer and Richard
Graham — expressed their opposition to these plans by writing a letter to
the Berkeley City Council, speaking out at public meetings and circulating a
newsletter they had written criticizing the project. The neighbors also formed
an association called the Neighborhood Groups Opposing the Bel Air
A housing-rights advocate, upset with the neighbors' conduct,
petitioned the San Francisco office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development to investigate the three for possibly violating the Fair Housing
Act. (The act is a federal law that prohibits discriminatory housing practices
and makes it unlawful "to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with
any person in the exercise or enjoyment of" rights protected by the
The housing advocate claimed that the neighbors' comments were
discriminatory toward people with physical and mental disabilities.
The San Francisco HUD office investigated the plaintiffs, threatening
them with legal action if they did not fully cooperate with the investigation.
HUD officials warned the neighbors they could be subject to fines as great as
After an eight-month investigation, in July 1994 the San Francisco HUD
office sent a letter to the Washington office recommending that charges be
filed against the three residents for violating the Fair Housing Act. However,
in August 1994 the Washington office determined there was not enough
"reasonable cause" to issue charges against the neighbors.
The three residents then filed a lawsuit in federal court in May 1995,
alleging that the investigatory actions of the San Francisco HUD officials had
chilled their First Amendment free-speech and free-petition rights. They
alleged they were retaliated against solely for exercising their
constitutionally protected rights.
In December 1998, a federal district court rejected the defendants'
motion for qualified immunity and ruled that the HUD officials were liable.
On appeal, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals yesterday agreed unanimously with the lower court in
White v. Lee. According to the panel
majority, the actions of the three neighbors were "paradigmatically
protected by the First Amendment."
"The HUD officials' eight-month investigation into the
plaintiffs' activities and beliefs chilled the exercise of their First
Amendment rights," Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the panel.
Reinhardt noted that informal measures, such as threatening to invoke
legal sanctions, could violate the First Amendment just as much as imposing
criminal or civil sanctions.
The HUD officials argued that the neighbors had violated the Fair
Housing Act in part because they had filed an unsuccessful state-court lawsuit
contesting approval of the housing unit for the homeless. The HUD officials
argued that they had been justified in investigating the three neighbors to
determine if they filed their state-court lawsuit with a discriminatory
Reinhardt wrote that even though the neighbors' state-court lawsuit
was dismissed and even if it lacked merit, "the investigation that the HUD
officials conducted exceeded the bounds of reasonable governmental action and
violated the plaintiffs' First Amendment rights."
Reinhardt also reasoned that when a government investigation intrudes
on citizens' First Amendment rights, the government has the obligation "to
take the least intrusive measures necessary to perform [its] assigned
The panel also rejected the defendants' argument that they were
entitled to qualified immunity because they did not violate any clearly
established constitutional right.
Kenneth L. Marcus, the residents' attorney, said the decision was
significant for two reasons. "This is the first and leading case which
demonstrates to HUD officials that there are First Amendment limitations on
their investigations," he said.
"The decision is also significant because it will serve as an
important bulwark against encroachments by all federal investigators into First
Amendment-protected activities," he said. "It sends a clear signal
that these investigators can be held personally liable if they violate First
Amendment free-speech and free-petition rights."
Calls to the U.S. Department of Justice were not returned.

Memorable Bunko Gifts and Prizes
The game of bunco isn't complete without prizes. Each group is different, but typically everyone puts in $5 or $10 towards the pot for prizes at the end of the night. There can be a mixture of cash prizes or other prizes, depending on the theme you choose.
There are lots of categories for prize money. Some include:
· Highest score
· Lowest score (boobie prize)
· Most buncos
· Last bunco
· Most wins
· Most losses
The prize money can be split up however your group wants. Usually the boobie prize winner just gets their original pot money back. You can spice it up and give it back to them in quarters, one dollar bills or dimes. Larger prizes go to the highest score and the most buncos. Some groups don't keep track of the most buncos, just who is holding the lucky dice last. You don't even have to keep track of buncos if you don't want - the rules are up to you!
Another great way to celebrate bunco is when you help out a good cause. Roll the dice and beat the odds! Bunco Game Shop has teamed up to help out the breast cancer awareness site. There are many different ways you can be a part of this great program. You can host a bunco for breast cancer night and donate all the pot money to the cause and forego prizes. You can make it your theme and have pink food, pink drinks and pink clothing for everyone to wear. Of course, you'll need pink ribbons for everyone to wear as well.
If you are looking for prizes, you can always visit Bunco Game Shop and get dice themed prizes. They have cup charms, fuzzy dice, charms, jewelry, banks for money prizes, pink ribbon gifts, and just about anything you can think of with dice. Pot money can go towards prizes if you don't want to hand out cash prizes. Or you could do both! Prizes make bunco better!

Just a quick post for a recipe I've had for a long time. Tangy Pineapple Chicken.
I've felt a little overwhelmed this past week. Extreme worries with my mom, long work hours, a small home remodeling project, three lost sales (which I took personally and hardly ever do), paint chip decisions, a dog throwing up all day, an exhausting full day trade show in downtown Denver, a failed Dish Network converter box during Dancing With The Stars, a mild backache all culminating into a quick "I can't do anything right" burst into tears small fit breakdown. Follow that up with a big comforting bear hug from Bob, my favorite go-to quick middle of the week recipe and I was good to go.
And ladies don't you agree, that the quick minute and a half "burst into tears" can be so cleansing? It's out, it's over, we move on…let's cook.
Please don't get out your violin because then you wouldn't have enough hands to copy and paste this recipe into your database. I've had this recipe for years. I'm not sure where it came from but it does seem a little "Taste of Home-ish". I've changed it up a bit from the original and it's really really good with a nice combination of flavors.
It's best served over hot cooked white rice, but when I've had my quota of "white" for the week, a side of green vegetables or a small tossed salad works just fine.
Here's this sooooo good recipe.
Tangy Pineapple Chicken Recipe
2 whole chicken breasts without skin
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 can pineapple chunks in juice
1 Tbs cornstarch
1/8 cup Dijon mustard
1/8 cup honey
1 clove garlic — minced
Rice — cooked
Sprinkle chicken with thyme, salt and pepper. In a skillet, brown chicken in oil.
Meanwhile, drain pineapple reserving the juice. Combine cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons juice until smooth. set aside.
Combine mustard, honey, garlic and remaining 1/2 of the can of pineapple juice; mix well.
Add to pan, bring to boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan; bring to boil for 2 minutes.
Return chicken to pan, top with a few of the pineapple chunks and heat thoroughly. Serve over rice.
Servings: 2
One of these days when I'm not so preoccupied I'm going to take a better photo and replace this bad one.
Tangy Pineapple Chicken…It's What's For Dinner.

Today is your lucky day. I have been lucky enough to have a steady string of business come my way. I have been speaking with many of you mortgage professionals and this isn�t so much the case. However, lately I have been getting the same type of loans, over and over again...getting boring. I desire to diversify my portfolio and build my resume...so I got this crazy idea.....
.......................My MAY MADNESS Promotion....................................
For all commercial loan referrals that come my way I:
1. will protect brokers. I will enter a NCND agreement to document that I�m not trying to steal your clients.
2. Do 100% of the work.
3. Save you from trashing those difficult loans...give them to me I�ll get them closed. (9 x out of 10)
4. then I�ll turn around and endorse you 100% of my commission check.
Not trying to co-broker and split the commission...you�ll get it all...and yes I�m willing to put that in writing.
But here�s the catch....only good for loans submitted to me between now and May 31st 2007 midnight. (hence "May Madness")

Nutrition assistance programs play a vital role in promoting the well-being and independence of older Americans. This fact sheet highlights the various nutrition assistance programs available to older adults and the funding sources that support these programs.
Older persons face special obstacles in maintaining an optimal diet. As individuals age, their caloric needs decline, but their need for nutrients does not. Therefore, older persons must consume foods that are nutrient-rich. Life changes such as loss of a spouse can reduce appetite, as can a diminished sense of taste or smell. Frailty can make it difficult to prepare meals, medical conditions can necessitate special dietary restrictions, and lack of income can compound all these problems by making nutritious foods hard to afford. … Back to Article

The profile of Cuban immigrants of the 1960s and '70s, educated and exiled to the United States for political reasons, has given way in later decades to that of poor foreigners with needs like those of immigrants from other countries, who basically want to make money to help the family they left back home.
This was the observation of Princeton University professor Alejandro Portes, who has studied this immigrant profile for years.
The first generations of Cubans who went into exile for political reasons created a successful community in Miami, with great economic and political power, he said in an interview with Efe.
But that situation "changed with Mariel (1980) and the succeeding exodus of people of a lower educational level and whose political orientation is different, not particularly criticizing the regime and more concerned about helping their family in Cuba economically," he said.
The growing number of Cuban immigrants who arrived in South Florida since 1980 have a much lower average income, being left "at the same level as Mexicans" or any other group of working-class immigrants, the sociologist said.
Portes, who has taken part this week in the Conference on Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at Florida International University in Miami, thus refutes the old idea that Cubans are the elite of immigrants in the United States.
In his opinion, the impoverishment of this group is partly due to the Cuban middle and upper classes who came before Mariel cutting their ties with immigrants that came later.
"The economic ties that previously helped so many Cubans climb the ladder of success were almost completely cut for the new immigrants, who have basically had to fend for themselves, getting jobs in a relatively poor labor market like Miami," he said.
Nonetheless, there has been no overt clash between the two groups, though the original Cuban exiles do not take kindly to the remittances and constant trips to the island by the new immigrants.
"In the end, all are Cubans, and what these new generations are doing to help their families corresponds to the values of traditional Cuban society, and people who are trying to help their families shouldn't be attacked," he said. EFE

From prestigious California endorsements yesterday to strong polling results in Florida, Mitt Romney is making coast-to-coast news.
From The Golden State: Romney Racks Up Endorsements for 2012
Mitt Romney is solidifying his status as front-runner in the GOP presidential nomination race. On Thursday, he picked up the backing of a group of Californians[…]
That includes House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon and Rep. Mary Bono Mack of the state's contingent in Washington. The group also comprises state Senate GOP Leader Bob Dutton, state Sens. Tony Strickland, Sharon Runner, Bob Huff, Sam Blakeslee and Mark Wyland; and Assemblymen Paul Cook and Jim Silva.
McKeon cited Romney's strength on economic issues in his endorsement. "President Obama's policies have failed California and the country," McKeon said. "Mitt Romney has a proven record of job creation in both the private sector and as a governor." McKeon also supported Romney in 2008.
(emphasis added)
Bob Dutton also added: "Mitt Romney knows how the economy works and he has the much-needed experience to lead the country out of the economic downturn."
From The Sunshine State: Romney Leads the Way in Florida (PPP poll)
Mitt Romney has a double digit lead for the Republican Presidential nomination in Florida, further cementing his front runner status in the wake of Mike Huckabee's exit from the race.
Romney is at 27% to 17% for Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, 10% for Herman Cain, 8% for Newt Gingrich, 7% for Ron Paul, 4% for Tim Pawlenty, and 2% for Jon Huntsman.
Romney now has the outright lead in PPP's most recent polls in all 5 of the key early Republican contests: in addition to the Florida advantage he's up by 9 in South Carolina, 6 in Iowa, 15 in Nevada, and 23 in New Hampshire.
Romney's Florida lead is built on a familiar formula. He's not winning with the far right voters who constitute a plurality of the Republican electorate, but he's at least staying competitive with them. Meanwhile he's dominating the field with moderates (a 36-15 lead over Palin) and with voters who identify themselves as just 'somewhat conservative' (a 32-15 advantage over Bachmann.)
While Bachmann's rising with Florida Republicans, Gingrich has tanked. On our last poll he was tied for the lead with Romney at 18%. Now he finds himself in 5th place and with less than half as much support at 8%. Beyond Gingrich other people who have to be seen as losers on this poll are Huntsman and Pawlenty. Huntsman's 2% standing is consistent with how he's polling with pretty much every group of voters except beltway journalists. And Pawlenty's 4% in Florida matches his 4% in South Carolina- he doesn't have any resonance yet with GOP voters in the south.

Well, summing up everything we know about assembling a compact system on the DFI LanParty JR X58-T3H6 mainboard (otherwise, what else do we need microATX form-factor for?) we can conclude the following:
- There won't be any problems in cases like Antec Mini P180, the components selection as well as the assembly process will hardly be that different from the full-size mainboards and cases;
- In cases like Aerocool M40, Thermaltake LanBox, Lian-Li PC-V351 and similar "cubes" you can easily put together a system on a non-overclocked Intel Core i7-920 CPU and a very powerful graphics accelerator working at a comfortable acoustic level. The possibility of CPU overclocking is questionable in these systems, although possible, with a highly efficient cooler like Thermalright AXP-140.
- It doesn't make much sense to assemble a Core i7 based system in low-profile cases like InWin BT series, for instance – the existing low-profile cooling solutions cannot ensure proper cooling even for the junior Core i7 CPU model. The upcoming Scythe Big Shuriken equipped with a 120-mm fan might be able to cope with this task. We'll have to wait and see.

The Astronomer, June, and I made our way to Dune for lunch last Sunday. I'd been meaning to check out this highly touted Atwater Village falafelria since it was opened earlier this year by the folks who run Elf Cafe.
June really liked Dune's outdoor seating and fast-casual service, while The Astronomer and I appreciated that our spread arrived quickly. Efficient service is one of the perks of waiting a solid six months before trying a "hot" spot.
The menu here is awesomely simple, offering just a trio of sandwiches, a few composed plates, and a smattering of salads and snacks. The Astronomer and I ordered a little bit of everything and enjoyed leftovers the following day.

I agree it's absolutely pointless playing Craven on the wing as it's not his position . Craven's position is full-back yet there's more chance of platting snot than him playing there again this season.
Pryce is playing with an injury due to the fact that if he doesn't play he doesn't get paid!
if his pay is based on that then hes going to be very skint this year - the man doesn't cut the mustard im afraid and I know sometimes due to his physical presence he comes under the spotlight more but GM must be wondering what he actually offers !!

Dozens of bright objects will streak across the sky each hour between dusk and dawn as the annual Geminid show reaches its peak, according to the editors of StarDate magazine at the McDonald Observatory at the University of Texas in Austin. This year's display will not be impeded by light from the moon, since it will set shortly after the sun does. (Southern Californians may be out of luck though, as weather forecasters are predicting a roughly 40% to 50% chance of cloud cover overnight.)
Despite their bright, twinkly appearance, the objects that will be on display are not actually stars – they're remnants of the asteroid Phaethon that burn up when they hit the Earth's atmosphere. Our planet orbits through Phaethon's debris field at this time every year. Most meteor showers are the result of Earth's passing through the remnants of a comet, but the Geminid meteor shower was the first to be traced to an asteroid, according to StarDate.
The meteor shower gets its name from the constellation Gemini, since the objects seem to fall near one of its primary stars, Castor. You can get some help locating the constellation, which is northeast of Orion, from Space.com.
As a bonus, the Geminid meteor shower may get a boost from dust left behind by Comet Wirtanen, according to NASA. Bill Cooke of the space agency's Meteoroid Environment Office predicted that the dust could create up to 30 additional meteors per hour.
According to this explainer from NASA, Comet Wirtanen has not crossed paths with Earth since it was discovered in 1948. But Russian forecaster Mikhail Maslov has run computer models that indicate our planet could cross the comet's debris stream as many as four times between now and Friday.
If Comet Wirtanen does produce meteors, sky watchers will be able to distinguish them from Geminid meteors because the meteors from the comet will appear to emanate from the constellation Pisces, according to Earthsky. The Clark Foundation offers this advice for finding Pisces in the sky.
The farther you can get from city lights, the better your view, of course. For more advice on watching the Geminid meteor shower, check out these 10 tips from EarthSky.

One person has died after a two vehicle crash in Graves County, Kentucky. State transportation spokesperson Keith Todd tells KZIM-KSIM that it occurred Tuesday on Jackson Purchase Parkway at the 24 mile marker northbound, outside of Mayfield. The driver of a passenger vehicle approached a spray truck escort from behind and merged left to pass, then immediately merged right again, striking the sprayer truck from the back. The driver of the car is reportedly a fatality. 70-year-old Joseph Armiger of Benton, Kentucky was driving northbound in a pick-up truck, was trapped in his vehicle and died at the scene. Todd says the transportation worker was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. The remainder of the liquid grass and weed killer that was in the tank of the spray truck spilled onto the northbound lanes of the Purchase Parkway, resulting in a temporary closure. The Graves County Sheriff is investigating the crash.
