It was Arianne's sister who first inspired her to start dancing thirteen years ago. She also had a hand in her joining 4H several years later.
"My sister joined it and she drug me to all these and I finally gave in and I absolutely love it," explains Arianne Cox.
Another woman in her life, her mom, has given her her greatest inspiration.
"I choreographed this dance...My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and I just felt like it would be a great dance to dedicate to her and so I went ahead and choreographed it and I guess it turned out great. The lyrics really go along with how I felt and that there is going to be a better day," Arianne says.
Motivated by her mom's strength to fight cancer, Arianne qualified to perform her dance at the 4H state competition in June.
"I will do the exact same dance and if I make it to first I will perform it in front of all the people. I think it's around 5,000."
And if you win, "You get the bragging rights that you won."
"I think it's a really neat opportunity for them to showcase their skills. Not a lot of people associate dance with 4H and I think it's a really neat way for people to understand that 4H has a lot more to offer and I'm glad that we have great kids like Ari who are able to showcase that," explains Kim Peters Randall County 4H & Youth Development.
And as for Ari's mom, "She is officially cancer free and doing great."

The Resource Centre for the Arts is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the development, promotion and presentation of performing art and artists of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Founded almost forty years ago, the Resource Centre for the Arts operates out of the Longshoremen's' Protective Union (LSPU) Hall, a registered heritage building in the heart of downtown St. John's.
"The Hall,"as we affectionately call it, is the heart and soul of the arts community of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is a community-based organization, governed by an elected Board of Directors, most of who are professional artists, arts administrators, and professionals from the broader social and economic community.
Resource Centre for the Arts is the umbrella organization for; RCA Theatre Company (RCAT), and the LSPU Hall."The Hall" is a hot spot of cultural activity. It produces and creates indigenous artistic works. The Hall also provides space for artists, and many other groups and individuals, through its rental program. Our Main Stage Theatre and Second Space are booked for dance festivals, awards events, sound symposia, film festivals, live web-casts, CD launches, readings, concerts, plays, workshops, children's theatre, and forums for discussing cultural values.
The Resource Centre for the Arts is just that – a resource centre for our province's artists. Many of the individuals RCA has supported over the years have gone on to become international ambassadors for the arts and culture of Canada as well as Newfoundland and Labrador – artists such as Mary Walsh, Gordon Pinsent, Rick Mercer, Andy Jones, Cathy Jones, Tommy Sexton, Berni Stapleton, Ed Riche, Ron Hynes, and Bob Joy – to name a few. The list of those fostered through the existence of RCA goes on, and our goal is to add many names to it for years to come.

We found a very interesting store in South Myrtle Beach. Pat-Mor furniture salvage. This place purchases furniture from most of the Condo and upscale resorts in the area and resells it at a fraction of what it is worth. Old, new, odd, specialty, you name it they have it. Gail has found a home away from home here. She has 2 rooms of furniture picked out already, plus they deliver!
Next was the hunt for appliances. This brought us to Home Depot, Lowes, and Sears. The choices are many and Gail was starting to forget our agreement when there they were. The perfect matching set, a washer, dryer, and as a bonus, refrigerator. All with in my budget and Gail's taste and yes free delivery once again. The purchase will be made next week and delivered after we close on the house.
After such a workout shopping it was lunch time. Why is it that all roads always lead to us dining somewhere? I have given up all my old vices years ago. Smoking, drinking and gambling are all things of the past but oh how I love a meal, any type of meal, it does not matter to me. I will always be able to sit down and eat. That said, we found a place called Sticky Fingers Rib Hut. As one could figure out it is a BBQ place with ribs as the star of the show. After downing a half rack and a BBQ meatloaf sandwich it was time to head home. Mission completed.
Tomorrow brings a new day and Christmas Eve. This will be the first time away from our family for the holidays. Time will tell how we feel about being away, but the upside is that Gail and I are together and will celebrate with each other here in our little home on wheels. What can I say, life is good and getting better every day.

D-licious D-lightful D-lovely Cross posted from my blog on FierceFatties.com
Posted on April 07, 2014 by Dr. Deah
Back in the 60s we had "Be-Ins "or "Love-Ins," when people would gather in the same place and meditate on love and peace. Sometimes LSD was involved, sometimes sex and nudity, most of the time music was definitely a factor. But no matter what form they took, the "prime directive" was to raise awareness about the need for peace, unity, and acceptance of diversity.
In thinking back, it amazes me how massive these events were considering we had no social media to help spread the word and using mainstream media to organize was out of the question. Yet somehow word got around and there we would be feeling strong, powerful, and most importantly, catalysts for change.
Today… we have flash mobs.
I am a relative newcomer to flash mobs. I recently went to my first mob when I heard about a hot flash mob for peri-menopausal and menopausal women from Ragen Chastain and Jeanette DePatie via Facebook. The word spread via social media, I learned the dance steps from a video posted on Facebook, found the staging area using the GPS on my iPhone, and tweeted about it during and afterward. The energy was infectious and inspirational. And yes, a part of me felt nostalgic and wondered how much more awesome the Be-Ins could have been if we had had all of this technology to connect us!
Now there is a new flash mobs in the works and in the name of bashing the stereotype that some of us old hippies are resistant to change and reluctant to embrace this new world of Tweets, Tumblrs, LinkedIns, and Instagrams, I am using this blog to help spread the word! After all, one of our anthems warned the generation before us that they had better.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
So in the spirit of Change, not wanting to be a hypocrite, and all the goodness that can come from combining the wisdom of age with the knowledge of youth, I contacted Juicy D. Light after I read this message on my FatStudies Listserve:
Burlesque performer Juicy D. Light (head of the Rubenesque Burlesque troupe in Oakland) is putting together a FAT FLASH MOB to dance to Pharrell Williams' "Happy" in May. She is holding regular classes in Oakland for those who are local, and also offering videos for those who want to coordinate mobs in other cities. There are ways to adapt the choreography for many levels of ability, including those who would prefer or need to remain seated.
Information is here: Please consider joining, whether you're local or distant. She would love to have fat flash mobs all over to spread the message of being HAPPY with your fat body!
I thought it would be cool to interview Juicy, find out more about the fat flash mob taking place on May 3, and get the word out ASAP so we could let as many people as possible know about the event. Here is what Juicy had to say, and I for one, found her answers to be truly d-lightful!
Dr. Deah: Could you please tell us a bit about what burlesque is and how you got involved with Rubenesque Burlesque?
- Rubenesque Burlesque Photo copyright of Johnny Crash.
Juicy: Burlesque is the art of the tease. It can be just pretty or political or poignant. This art form can tease and titillate or it can educate. There's all kinds of burlesque at this point. Before there was just classic, evening gowns, gloves, boas, feather fans, lots of bling; but now there's boylesque, queerlesque, nerdlesque, sadlesque, all kinds of things you can do while taking your clothes off. I got involved when Heather MacAllister came to town. She taught a burlesque class and after the class she asked me to join her troupe.
D: How do you see Rubenesque Burlesque intersecting with the Fat Acceptance movement?
J: Rubenesque Burlesque shows that fat women, in particular, are beautiful, sexy, in demand, worthy, active, healthy, etc., which is an uncommon thought. We work hard, we dance hard. People see us and sometimes change their minds. Sometimes they make an adjustment to the stereotypes they hold so close. Sometimes they are even able to love themselves a little more.
D: What was one event, book, person, or any other catalyst that first opened your eyes to the Fat Acceptance movement?
J: Chaya Gordon. She taught a class called AbunDance at the Women's Building in San Francisco. She was a fat dancer. She is the one that gave me my body back.She was the first one that let me know that I was ok AND fat. I could still move my body joyfully, I could still dance.From there, I started to meet others, learn about and understand this thing called Fat Acceptance.
D: What do you tell people who argue that burlesque is contradictory to the women's movement because it sexualizes or objectifies bodies?
J: This is always an interesting question to me. For me, feminism is about choice. We are all sexual beings. Burlesque is what I like to call consensual objectification. I am dancing before you expecting to be objectified and sexualized on MY terms. It's also a little different for fat women. It's often assumed that no one finds us attractive, sexually attractive or sexually confident. The pendulum needs to swing far the other way to find the balance. This is our choice.
D: What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is struggling with Body Acceptance?
J: I would ask them how do they really feel. Inside. Take inventory. Do they hate themselves because they organically feel bad or is it they've been taught to hate themselves for so long. I realized a while ago that I was taught to hate myself and my fat body. As a little, fat kid on the playground, I played as hard as everyone else, was a good little athlete (always chosen in the top three; never, ever chosen last), I ran, I jumped, I played!! It was over time the hate and the shame became internalized. It was never organic. I would imagine it's the same for many. We just have to reclaim the happiness most of us had. It's hard work, but well worth it
D: So true that body hate is learned. None of us are born hating our bodies! I recently heard that you were organizing a fat flash mob. What gave you the idea to do this and what do you hope it will accomplish?
J: YES!! It's happening on May 3, 12 pm PST, 2 pm CST, 3 pm EST. It's one of my New Year's resolutions actually. And when I heard the song, "Happy" by Pharrell, that just kind of clinched it. It's more for those that participate than those watching, although I sincerely hope those watching will be positively affected as well. I want people of all body types to be out in the sun, dancing out loud, enjoying their bodies moving! Together, happily! Without hate or shame.
D: If someone wants to get involved with the fat flash mob, what do they need to do?
J: The first step is to email me at ms.juicydlight at gmail dot com. I would love to have organizer's all over the place!
I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am psyched about this event on so many levels. The one that feels the most precious to me, however, is knowing that despite what title, label, or name we attach to it, the "prime directive" is still alive and there is a thriving community of people out in the world using creativity, artistic expression, and togetherness to continue the tradition of raising awareness about the need for peace, unity, and acceptance of diversity.

I rewrote the instructions on my Ravelry project (Shyanha) and attempted a chart for the squares. Perhaps that will help folks. I frogged the first square a couple times, but the joining of the squares is where the headache came in. 9 froggings before I finally got it right! I included a photo of my first four squares. I have two complete square rows and a 3rd that's nearly complete now, so take heart! Once I got it, it was like a "oh em gee, I should have seen that!" moment.
Oct 28, 2016
The photo here is tiny. It's the same as on my Ravelry project, and that one not only shows all four squares, but quite a bit larger.

mishagirl69 721897 7
Mar 18, 2016
Actually, I found a picture and I think I get it. Since you're only joining on ONE side, as you're making a "string" of them, you only need one finished for each panel. Here's the link, I think you'll get it. And that will teach me to speak too soon! LOL! http//www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/irish-lace == -blanket/slideshow?fullscreen=1start=27340622

The first round says to do the steps in the brackets 7 times. Does that mean there will be 8 groups of 3dctog, or 7 groups?

To make it into a shawl just make it narrower.
Mar 25, 2013
I want to make this into a shalw too. My mom would LOVE it! It looks like this is 7 panels with 15 squares per panel. You could probably make it into a shawl by only working 3 or 4 panels. Also you might need to do fewer squares per panel. Just quit when it get long enough. Hope this helps. Good luck!

January/February 2007
New Words (Novas Palavras)
A meeting of minds, cultures and wizardly techniques, here's yet another reminder of mandolinist Mike Marshall's well-documented habit of placing himself in challenging and intriguing settings. This time around, Marshall, who previously has collaborated with the likes of David Grisman, Darol Anger, Béla Fleck and Stéphane Grappelli, teams up with Brazilian virtuoso Hamilton de Holanda, who is heard here playing the 10-string bandolim and an Irish bouzouki. The instrumental weaves produced by the duo are often as intricate as they are distinctive, which is saying a lot, since in addition to mandolin, Marshall briefly plays mandocello and tenor guitar.
Yet for all the remarkable handiwork on display, the performances also reveal a natural, even chummy chemistry at times, and leave little doubt that both musicians are suckers for string-band romps and romantic themes. Given the overlapping influences, it's oversimplifying things to say that the tunes here—original pieces as well as Appalachian anthems ("Blackberry Blossom"), pop standards ("Autumn Leaves") and several South American charmers (not least Hermeto Pascoal's "São Jorge")—reflect a convergence of cultures. But the colorful hemispheric shifts certainly make for a lively and lyrical session.
Those who need to see in order to believe this duo's high wire act will especially welcome the bonus DVD, featuring three concert performances. But pickers who scan these videos with hopes of stealing some hot licks should be forewarned: Prepare to encounter feelings of woeful inadequacy.

With who: Dr Vole and The Ginger Prince
How much: starters around a fiver, mains between £8 and £12
Come here if: you have a hankering for moussaka and retro dining
These days it seems every mention of Camberwell comes with the breathless rejoinder that a gentrification is coming. Church Street is on the way up, Camberwell Village is on the way up, the whole damn area is coming up like a teenager at their first rave. The new housing, the new restaurants and bars, no restaurant review is complete without a GCSE style compare and contrast between the 'grim, gritty Camberwell' of old and the rays of light being shone by the latest purveyor of gastronomic goodness and culturally relevant modernity. The honourable exception in the press being Mr Jay Rayner, who lives round here and knows that it's always been a salty but fascinating and (relatively) cohesive community.
The Vineyard Taverna feels like it's been part of the community for generations. Like Primrose Hill's Lemonia, it existed before the area pulled itself up by the bootstraps and like Lemonia it obviously has long term fans. If your parents grew up in the area, this is likely to have been one of the places they'd have come to on a date. In fact, on a Saturday night, it still feels like the type of place young local couples come on a date.
We were here because all of the other, newer eateries we fancied were slammed full. The still deeply patronising (though by now almost understandably so) front desk at Angels and Gypsies stifled a laugh when I enquired about a table at 9 on a Thursday evening, "did you not plan your night out sir? Did you not realise several weeks ago that a couple of beers post work would almost certainly fire a desire for food and therefore procure a booking?" The chaps at The Crooked Well were nicer. Apologetic, friendly, understandable and accommodating; but still full to the gills until 10:15.
Looks wise, it makes some attempt at the authentic Greek taverna style. Faux grapevines cover the ceiling, white paper table cloths give a light air though the effect is localised with black and white prints of Camberwell Church Street in years gone by and spoilt by the large TV in the bar cum entrance. Tables spill onto the street in even the most inclement weather, though these, like the few scattered around the bar are often occupied by the local Greek Cypriot community who use the space as their overflow front room.
Ordinarily, I've gone for the mezze. Shared mixed platters for the table of dips, crudites, pitta and vine leaves fold into various species of fried and are followed up by lumps of chicken and lamb kebab. It's not that it's bad, it's just pedestrian, forgettable and other than being an acceptable beer soaker-upper, not really anything to get fussed about. It's somewhere you go en masse, like you did at university, diving on the sharing plates with your shared bonhomie more important than what you're shovelling down your neck.
This time though, I'm pleased to report that we go off piste and I sample some really rather good cooking. After a trio of those fairly forgettable dips, my main of Lamb Kleftico arrives in front of me with a rush of fragrant steam. A hefty portion of slow roasted meat, pink and juicy, falls of the bone, glistening motes of garlic and a hint of bay mingling in the oil infused flesh. Soaking into the olive oil cooked chips, it's a struggle to finish the slab, and a bigger struggle not to suck the bone clean afterwards. It's a worthwhile reminder of why you should support longstanding local restaurants.

Every year I call my MIL or my mom to check how to make these and this year too I called my MIL on eve of thiruvathirai(yesterday)and got the measurements,so I am now having here to keep the records of my perfect adai and kali,turned out so tasty this time!
Thiruvathirai Kali recipe
|Raw rice
|1/2 cup
|paasi paruppu/moong dal
|1-2 tblsp
|1/2 cup
|4-5 tblsp
|Cardamom/yelakkai powder
|A pinch
|1 tsp
|1 cup
|A pinch
- Heat a pan and dry roast rice till it turns slightly golden colour and roast the paasi paruppu separately till golden brown.
- After cooling down,grind it, just use the Juice/inch/pulse option in ur mixer to just make the rice & dal little broken.
- Pressure cook this in low flame directly in a pressure cooker (add a pinch of salt)with rice : water , 1:2 ratio,for 2 to 3 whistles.
- After the pressure leaves,add the powdered jaggery, coconut,ealachi and ghee and keep the cooker in flame and continue on mixing in low flame till the jaggery mixes well with the cooked rice mixture. Once the cooker is opened, you can fluff it and keep it aside for the rice to cool down and then add jaggery and make kali.
- After some 4-5 minutes a fluffy kali consistency reaches and transfer the kali now to the serving dish. If you want you can fry some 4-5 broken cashews in ghee and add it to the kali.
Adai Recipe :
|Rice flour
|1 cup
|3/4 cup
|Coconut ,grated
|1/4 cup
|a pinch
|a pinch
|1 cup (May vary if using store bought rice flour or home made rice flour.
- Usually my mom,MIL uses freshly ground rice flour, but I used the ready made idiyappam flour,which always gives a handy help to me .
- If you are using rice flour that usually available in market,dry roast just a little to heat up the flour.
- Boil water with jaggery till jagerry dissolves and remove (strain)any impurities.
- Add the rice flour,coconut gratings,elachi and stir well,initially it will look like forming lumps, but if you continuously stir it you will get a smooth non sticky dough. The key is the dough should be already 3/4 th cooked. Then only we will get soft and non breakable adais.
- Make 7 equal sized balls out of it and flatten in a greased polythene base,(or in plantain leaf)one by one and toast both sides with ghee little drizzled in the tawa in medium flame.
- Take care not to break the adai as these are meant not to be broken.
Top with butter and enjoy!! Tastes heaven .
- Don't roast the rice flour too much as it will make the adai break.
- Also cook in medium or medium high flame, dont cook in low flame as that too will break the adai.
- Turn just once,if you keep on turning then too the adai will break.

Clovis shortstop Sean Cruce tries to beat the tag of Frenship High's first baseman during the first game of their doubleheader Tuesday at Bell Park. Cruce was called out on the play. CNJ photo by Eric Kluth.
By Rick White
Matt Ulibarri is a dirt magnet when it comes to baseball.
Just check out his pants, which look like fifth-generation hand-me-downs with holes in the front and back and an overall reddish-brown sheen, belying the fact that he's had them less than a month.
Needless to say, the Clovis junior enjoys getting down and dirty.
"I guess I just slide too much," said Ulibarri, minutes after he scored the winning run in Tuesday's 2-1 decision over Frenship High of Wolfforth, Texas, in a West Texas Baseball League doubleheader at Bell Park. "I like to get dirty. That way people know you played."
Clovis coach Brian Cronk said Ulibarri has paid his dues.
"Matt did a lot of watching when he was a freshman and he really paid attention," Cronk said. "He learned a lot from the kids on that team.
"He's playing with a lot of confidence this summer. I think hands down he's one of the best outfielders in the state."
Cronk said Ulibarri and fellow junior Sean Cruce, two of the three returning starters for the Wildcats' state runner-up team, are the building blocks for next year's team.
"Matt's leading the team in hitting and Sean is right up there," Cronk said. "They've both stepped up and taken a leadership role on this team."
Ulibarri, who made several outstanding catches in center during the state tournament in Albuquerque, is also relishing his new role as leadoff hitter after batting ninth during the high school season.
"I like batting in the first inning," said Ulibarri, who has stolen close to 30 bases this summer. "I don't like waiting until the second or third inning to hit."
Clovis also received another solid outing Tuesday from senior right-hander David Root, who went the distance, allowing seven hits and retiring the last eight batters he faced.
"When you're around the plate you always have a chance to win," Cronk said. "But that was his best outing of the season by far."
Clovis had won eight-straight games before its recent woes.
"When we were winning we were getting the breaks and putting some hits together," Cronk said. He said the opposite has been true during the losing skid.
Luke Gray added three hits for Clovis in the opener. Results of the second game were not available at press time.
Clovis has two weeks left in the season.

Comic Con 2013: Superman & Batman Movie, 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' And 'Avengers 2' Dominate
Saturday was a huge day at this year's Comic Con, especially for Marvel studios.
The superhero movie-making factory had quite a few announcements to make, sending fans who were there (and who weren't there) into a frenzy over what's coming in the next two years.
To start, actor Tom Hiddleston reprised his role as Loki from "The Avengers," and the upcoming "Thor: The Dark World," trying hard to keep a straight face while in character to present the trailer for the "Thor" sequel.
Marvel also previewed next summer's sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and the highly anticipated "Guardians of the Galaxy." Director Joss Whedon also revealed the title of the second "Avengers" film. (story)
Scottish actress Karen Gillan sported a new hairdo during the "Guardians of the Galaxy" panel on Saturday, revealing that she actually has no hair after shaving her head to play the villain Nebula in the film. Gillan was spotted on Friday with her usual red hair, but revealed that it was actually a wig. The film started shooting less than two weeks ago on England, and most of the cast was flown in and flown right back out after the discussion, including Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana. (story)
Zack Snyder joined Warner Bros. & Legendary Films for their panel, at the end revealing that the two greatest DC superheroes would be teaming up in the sequel to this summer's "Man of Steel." Actually, they probably won't be teaming up since they never really liked each other anyway. (story)
Thursday at the convention saw the big reveal of new Spider-Man baddie Electro, played by Jamie Foxx. The character starred in a 39-second teaser clip revealing little more than his look and explaining his immense power. He'll be a major problem for Peter Parker in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." (story)
"X-Men" fans were also treated to something special when director Bryan Singer brought together the cast of the first three films and the cast of the prequels for one big X-travaganza during the panel for "X-Men: Days Of Future Past." (story)

Biographical Information
Modernist painter Francis Criss was born in London in 1901 to a Jewish family of Russian descent. At the age of three, his family moved to the United States and settled in Philadelphia. Criss began his art training nine years later at the Graphic Sketch Club and continued his studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Barnes Foundation, the Art Students League in New York, and, later, with private instruction under Jan Matulka. In 1920, Criss was awarded the prestigious Cresson scholarship by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts which allowed him to further his studies in Europe. Around 1931, he began to exhibit paintings in a style that came to define his work -- clean lines, simple forms, and flat color of cityscapes and portraits. Criss' first public success as an artist was his inclusion in the inaugural 1932 Whitney Biennial Exhibition; the museum purchased his painting, Astor Place (1932) for its permanent collection. In 1934, Criss was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study in Italy.
Throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, Criss was involved with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the American Artists' Congress, which he helped to organize in 1936. He was also a charter member of the "American Group" with artists that included Philip Evergood, Julian Levy, Jack Levine, William Gropper, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, the Soyers, Chaim Gross, and Abraham Rattner. Critics described his work as both Surrealist and Precisionist and it is often compared to that of Giorgio De Chirico, George Ault, Charles Demuth and Charles Sheeler.
Criss' career began to wane in the 1940s when he turned his attention to commercial art and teaching in order to support his family. Criss taught painting privately and at the Knox-Albright Museum, Brooklyn Museum Art School, The Art Students League, the New School, and the School of Visual Arts. He rarely returned to his own painting during the remainder of his life. Criss died at the age of 72 in 1973.
Overview of the Collection
Scope and Contents
The Francis Criss papers comprise 1.9 linear feet of material dating from 1916 to 1975 (bulk 1940-1969). The collection documents the painting and teaching career of modernist painter Francis Criss mainly through correspondence, handwritten notes for class lectures, exhibition files, newsclippings, scrapbooks, and photographs. Oversized reproductions of his commercial artwork are also found.
The collection is divided into two separate parts. The first represents the papers originally microfilmed as a loan in 1970 that includes biographical information; teaching and lecture notes compiled by Criss for courses he taught at several New York art schools, including the New School and the School of Visual Arts. Also found is correspondence with museums and magazines, Cornell University, the Henry McCarter Estate, and Theodore L. Shaw; exhibition announcements and catalogs; exhibition files and photographs for the Philadelphia Art Alliance exhibition in 1953 and the Visual Arts Gallery Retrospective in 1966; a record of paintings, murals, and projects; clippings; personal photographs and photographs of works of art.
The second part of the collection represents the portion of the 1976 gift that was not microfilmed in 1970. Found is business and personal correspondence with arts organizations, colleagues, former students, and fellow artists. Also included within this accession are Criss' handwritten notes and syllabi for courses he taught and printed material, such as exhibition announcements, invitations, and catalogs. Photographs are of Criss, his studio, several family members, and photographs of artwork Criss produced between 1935-1964, including those for the U.S. Army Medical Corps.
Also found are three dismantled scrapbooks. Scrapbook #1 documents Criss' later career as a commercial artist in New York City, primarily in the 1940s, a decade in which he experienced his greatest success. This scrapbook contains a series of large scale reproductions of his illustrations. Scrapbooks #2 and #3 also include examples of Criss' commercial work, as well as illustrations by other artists, and Criss' handwritten notes and instructions on drawing and painting techniques. A small series of miscellany includes several ledger pages detailing art supply expenses, a small unidentified collage, a copy of a 1957 appraisal report titled The Role of the School of Visual Arts, and other miscellaneous items.
Arrangement and Series Description
The collection is arranged in two parts. Part 1 represents the papers originally microfilmed as a loan in 1970 on reel N70-34. Part 2 is comprised of the 1976 gift.

Young adults trending pro-lifecomment (0)
April 1, 2010
Young adults ages 18–29 were once among the top supporters of legalized abortion. But now they are its leading opponents when compared to other age groups, according to a Gallup analysis of survey trends since the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
Gallup examined the views on abortion of four age groups and found that in an average of polls from 2005 to 2009, 23 percent of young adults believed that abortion should be "illegal in all circumstances."
That's an increase of five points from the period of 1975–1979 and nine points from 1990 to 1994. The 23 percent figure tops all age groups, ahead of those ages 65 and older (21 percent) and those ages 30–49 and 50–64 (both of which are at 17 percent).
Opposition to abortion is "growing fastest among young adults," Gallup said in its analysis. Gallup's Lydia Saad wrote that "18- to 29-year-olds are now roughly tied with seniors as the most likely of all age groups to hold this position on abortion — although all four groups are fairly close in their views.
"This is a sharp change from the late 1970s, when seniors were substantially more likely than younger age groups to want abortion to be illegal," she wrote.
Of the four age groups, 18- to 29-year-olds were the only ones to see a decline (although slight) in total support for abortion rights since the mid to late 1970s. (BP)

Rumors of war
Loading Map
Uniformed men entered the bar and opened fire, with one officer reportedly ordering, "make sure there are no survivors." This happened before I arrived last night, which may explain why my taxi driver drove even faster than usual as we came in from the airport. It seems many folks were and are a little jumpy. There are reports that a radical Hutu group operating on both sides of the Congolese-Burundian border is preparing to restart the civil war. If this proves to be true, it will be another terrible tragedy for this already wounded and suffering country.
The trouble is not in the direction or region where our church members live and shouldn't affect my travel and work on this trip, but I will closely follow events and the security advice of US embassy personnel.
I spent the morning catching up on office work. I woke too late to have breakfast so I was quite ready for lunch and discovered that the reputation of the Botanika restaurant is well-deserved. Run by a French-trained chef, it offers some of the best cuisine I have had in sub-Saharan Africa. I had a tomato, papaya, feta and basil salad followed by spaghetti in tomato sauce. Both were excellent. I will probably have to stop staying here, it would make it harder to go to (or at least to eat in) my other hotel destinations!
Just after lunch Moise Ntigirinzigo called from the front desk. He and Nathan Mokeshimana were there to welcome me and to start our work together on this trip.
Nathan and Moise left toward the end of the afternoon and I went back to office work, and preparation for the seminars to come. I hope no security issues will make travel north inadvisable.
Thanks again Joel for keeping us informed. We pray for your safety and God 's blessing on your trip. We live in a dangerous world indeed. Please convey a warm greetings to all of God's people in the region. Thanks for taking care of them with such dedication. We love you
Mr. Meeker, we will keep you and our African brethrens in our prayers. Thank you for keeping us informed and focused on the needs of those areas. We are with you in your journeys!
Thank you for sharing your travels with us. I am so glad that you are safe. I will be praying for you safety and for the safety of all the brethren.

I was trying to figure out if I should post this blog on this website or on my tumblr. At the end, I thought it was fitting to write my thoughts here as this little website has made such a huge difference and impact on my life.
My nature is to analyze and this also includes self-reflection…a lot of it. In my late 20s, most of my time was spent thinking about my career and dating. Of course my family and friends were a priority but I'd say most of energy was spent towards career progression, self improvement, and…dating (for the dating stuff you can actually go to my tumblr site instead lol). I led a very simple basic life of work, exercise, go home, hang out friends, take courses and do the occasional travelling. This all felt very ho-hum and unremarkable. As I entered my 30s and started this blog, my basic routines took on new meaning, textures, tastes, and colours; life in essence became more interesting. When I go out now, food and drinks have become a rich experience and not just a means for consuming sustenance. I relish the times I have when hanging out and laughing with old friends while making new ones. I treasure my parents and sister and glad that I have them in my life. My views on life are not necessarily profound nor even enlightening…it's just based on enjoying the simplicities and appreciating of what you have.
My birthday this year was the most happiest for me. I celebrated with old and new friends over great food and wine at a restaurant that was intimate. There was also a nice low key night spent with my family and relatives. And I made myself go beyond my comfort zone and treated myself to a gift that made me feel empowered and beautiful. Then the day after my birthday I continued by celebrating one of my best girlfriend's birthday with a night of having fun and dancing to my heart's content. All in all, I truly celebrated my birthday weekend that reflected…me.
Maybe I am content with my life because I do get ridiculously happy over the most simplest things…
- having dim sum with parents
- gossiping with my sister
- making new friends
- trying out a new restaurant
- cooking a new dish that goes well
- wine and food parties and potlucks with friends
- successfully organizing my files into folders
- new pretty bed sheets and pillows
- a "Hello" or "How are you" text from a friend
- pictures of kittens, puppies, and babies
- patio lunches and dinners
- tasting a good wine or cocktail
- impromptu picnics with friends
- a dumb joke
- seeing "xoxo" at the end of a friend's email or text
- making someone laugh with my unintentional wit or idiocy
- trying on a pair of pants or dress that fits me
- night of endless giggling and laughing
- hanging out with my girlfriends
- dancing to old school hip hop (especially if I can do it in the elevator)
- a craft project that goes well
- brunch
- redecorating my place
- getting a warm hello or wink from a stranger
- taking a real good picture that's instagram worthy
- dissecting Game of Thrones or Walking Dead with fellow geeks
- travelling to a new city or country
- singing badly with friends at late karaoke
- basking in the sun
- having hot chocolate when it's rainy
- loving the beauty of snow
I really don't need an expensive bag nor go out partying to make me happy..and besides I think I'm just too practical for those now ;-) Probably my friends would beg to differ..but I like to think I'm pretty simple…simple but with remarkable experiences. For me, life is all about trying to not have regrets, seeking and conquering challenges, experiencing new things at least once, appreciating what you have, and taking joy in simplicity :)

The equation x^2 - y^2 = 4 defines a hyperbola. As then so it's defly not closed.
It's not even connected because it's a hyperbola and that's got 2 bits to it.
There is no interior because the set consists of the line, and so it's all boundary.
I think. I need to brush up my interpretation of terminology.

Hi Dirk
Sorry it has taken so long to respond, I have been out of the country and a whole host of other things have kept me engaged beyond measure. I have read the article you have sent me. Very interesting. It is clear that even Hollywood is looking for a new way to ensure profitable returns on their products. The present format is beginning to lag behind the ability of garage pirates and the numbers attending cinema's have been dropping for decades as home entertainment becomes better and better.
With this being trend it has become more important for new film producers and or film producing hubs to start thinking out the box and offer viewers something more than what the Hollywood machine can offer. We have Bollywood as a hub focused on serving a certain viewers platform and Nollywood (up and rising) scratching out earnings with low budget replay scripted performances.
Cape Town has many times being posted as the Hollywood of Africa, yet it has not got itself out of service orientated foreign production. The Cape Town Film Industry is solely based on facilitating foreign productions and is still struggling to find a way out of this trap.
With the world economy in the state that it is in the local industry is in dire straits and the good times are not rolling anymore. There are very few customers knocking on the door to film in Cape Town and even though there is a lot been said and plenty in the never ending 'pipeline.'
There have been attempts at creating and doing some movies by some of the top production companies but when all is said and done profits are far from adequate. It seems that the process of delivering South African stories in a mega-entertaining and mega-profitable manner has not being achieved yet.
Like it or not the only high end profitable motion pictures that have been exported from our shores have been foreign investor come producers using South African production house facilities or Co-productions.
Why? It is simple the 'Hollywood' marketing machine and business model is what lays behind it from start to finish.
This allows Cape Town only to profit from the production side tips and very little influx of any profit from distribution and sales. If one was to really calculate the actual South African spend that takes place which the DTI (SAgovernment) offers to foreign film investment you will find that very little film finance actually stays within the Cape Film production platform. It is clear that once the production contract is over the Cape Film production community is back to square one, waiting and hoping for the next customer.
Now much has been said about developing the Cape Town film industry, this has been the constant whine of 'producers' who have not really got down to making their own films. There are over 180 registered production houses in Cape Town, all with 'producers' but how many have actually taken the screenplay, developed it, produced it, distributed and sold it.I would not hesitate to say none, and I would be highly surprised to find any.
Now some would be jumping up and claiming that they have, and maybe there might be a few. I would however have to venture to ask, who was your international partner.
It is clear the the Cape Town Film Production community or industry does not have a 'Hollywood' type formatted business plan or knowledge to develop, produce and market it's own products. The reason for this is mostly due to the lack of a viable finance house or lets call it an investment house.
Our success is rated in 'Hollywood' while is should be rated in what we produce, how much we produce and what the returns are of those productions.
We can not continue to stay in the trap of producing foreign funded films and continue to call Cape Town the 'Hollywood of Africa'. Cape Town will gain nothing from such a stance, and the present senoirio and great fall of the local industry is proof of this.
In the midst of this, there lies a fantastic opportunity which can help the Cape Town Film Industry out of its quagmire by creating a funding platform not to rival 'Hollywood' but to create a new International Africa based film producing hub on sound business principles.
The Cape Town Film industry is in no doubt presently in it worst recession since its emergence in the early 1990's it third thus. The first to crashes should have been a warning to get out of the service orientated production field, but this did not happen. What still bugs me is that in the worst crash thus far there is still no word or talk of any successful self production. And this is mainly due to the absolute lack of finance, investor/finance and underwriters to such creative initiatives. Yet the returns on motion pictures can be phenomenal. It is no wonder 'Hollywood' does it best to keep this monopoly.

Marine Pollution Bulletin
The International Journal for Marine Environmental Scientists, Engineers, Administrators, Politicians and Lawyers
The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2012 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.© 2012 Thomson Reuters, 2012 Journal Citation Reports®
Editor:Charles Sheppard
Aims & Scope
Marine Pollution Bulletin is concerned with the rational use of maritime and marine resources in estuaries, the seas and oceans, as well as with documenting marine pollution and introducing new forms of measurement and analysis. A wide range of topics are discussed as news, comment, reviews and research reports, not only on effluent disposal and pollution control, but also on the management, economic aspects and protection of the marine environment in general.
A distinctive feature of Marine Pollution Bulletin is the number of different categories of articles which are published. Papers ('Reports') form the core of the journal, while 'Baselines' document measurements which are expected to have value in the future. 'Reviews' are generally invited by the editors on subjects which cross traditional lines, but suggestions for topics are welcomed. 'Viewpoints' are a less formal forum for scientists to comment freely on matters of relevant national and international importance. Other sections of the Bulletin include 'News', 'New Products', 'Conference Reports', 'Conference Diary', 'Correspondence' and 'Book Reviews'. Two volumes are published annually, one of which contains a series of special issues on topics of particular current interest. The importance and influence of these special issues, which address the major marine environmental concerns of our time, is increasingly being recognised not just by the wider scientific community, but also by environmental policy makers at national and international level.

The spectacle of images projected on to this transparent fabric is staggering. The film floats in the center of the building without blocking visibility. The effect is halting, as if witnessing an apparition. It is a rare chance to absorb the cathedral's spirit at nightfall, a magical time when Notre-Dame is closed to the public. Télérama
Projections take place in the evening, at a special moment when the cathedral rediscovers its calm and fascinating silence...
The projections are for children and adults alike. Entrance is free and during the projection, you can (if you wish) contribute what you would like towards costs in order to help us guarantee that these Night Services can continue.

We take a look at the 850-year history of the cathedral, from its construction in the Middle Ages through to the present day, its worldwide reputation and influence, as well as providing a more detailed insight into the architecture and the building techniques employed, its facades, portals, rose windows, wooden framework, the great bell, the organs, the music of the cathedral, the pure beauty of the liturgical ceremonies held there, and much more. The video includes exceptional views of the cathedral and 3D reconstructions.

Disgrace, by J. M. Coetzee
In this novel, perhaps his masterpiece, J. M. Coetzee emerges as the most old-fashioned kind of literary genius: a person whose strong imagination is guided by firm and deeply held beliefs. Coetzee's powerful style, admired so much for its own sake, seems to grow from these beliefs.
Disgrace is the story of a South African professor of English who loses everything: his reputation, his job, his peace of mind, his good looks, his dreams of artistic success, and finally even his ability to protect his cherished daughter. As in all of his mature novels, Coetzee here deals with the theme of exploitation. His favorite approach has been to explore the innocuous-seeming use of another person to fill one's gentler emotional needs.

Glasnost On Pension Reform? Important New Pension Paper From Fordham
New paper from Fordham by Matt Chingos and Marty West looks at a natural experiment on teacher pensions that unfolded in Florida over the last decade (pdf). It's significant for a couple of reasons. One, there is still more noise than signal in the unfolding debate about changes to teacher retirement schemes. It's clear there is a serious sustainability problem, the best fixes that are both actuarially sound and good public policy for schools and teachers, much more contested. This is a useful analysis to help examine the issue. Second, and more generally, glasnost?! This is the kind of research that is sorely needed. Getting data on pensions has been a struggle for researchers. Some data systems can't talk to one another and in too many places there is a deliberate effort not to share data. Even absent a Florida-like plan there are choices that workers in every state make that researchers could analyze with access to the appropriate data.

Rolls Royce officially unveiled its 200EX concept in Geneva this week as the precursor to the fourth model in its lineup and the first not based on the immense Phantom.
The 200EX is just a concept but this fall the production version will be revealed with a proper name, one likely to start with Silver.
The styling is quintessential Rolls, pulling all the best cues from the Phantom and Drophead Coupe and fitting them into a decidedly smaller package.
Based off the latest BMW 7 series platform, the 200EX spans 212.6 inches long, 83 inches wide and 61 inches tall, with a wheelbase of 129.7 inches.
A new air suspension system hides behind the seven-spoke, 20-inch wheels, with the front hoops wrapped in 255/45 tires and the rears coated in 285/40 rubber.

General Motors, global leaders in auto manufacture along with ABB leader in power and automation technologies have come together to showcase battery reuse. The repackaging of five used Chevrolet Volt batteries in a modular unit is capable of providing two hours of electricity to run between three to five average American homes.
This system of energy conservation was demonstrated at the General Motors' Electrification Experience wherein the unit provided 25 kW power and 50 kWh energy for lighting and audio visual equipment demonstrated at the event. It is this same system using a Chevrolet Volt battery pack which can be used to collect energy, feed it to the grid which in turn can be used to power houses or offices most economically and efficiently. The energy storage system will run on remote power back up mode with 100% power coming from Volt batteries with use of Energy Storage Inverter System from ABB.
This sort of energy system is called as community energy storage which is different from substation energy storage systems. This innovative system also puts into focus General Motors' commitment to environmental and societal benefits of their batteries used in their electric vehicles which can be recycled and put to additional use to benefit the community at large while reducing waste to a great extent.

Think you can take the heat of the next sizzling novel by this best-selling author? Think again…
Kyle is one of those guys who denies everything to himself, the sort who lives in total denial of what or who he is in favor of lying his way in and out of situations he doesn't like, and in some cases, even those he does.
His real reason for being this way comes out in Chapter three when he remembers all the times he was beaten-up in prison for the foolish thing he did before. He has taken all the heartache he felt and all the pain and hid it all away where it can't affect anyone else but him – most of all he misses Jason, his former lover and the man he left behind when he got taken away to jail.
When he is with someone he doesn't take much notice of them – it's not in his nature to care about the other person. After all, they are just another face to him, someone he can have sex with, and after that they have no other meaning – faces tend to blend in with this guy, and he hasn't had a real relationship with a guy since.
Kyle tries to put his past of doing time in jail, drugs and fucking behind him and goes to Montana in search of a new life, and with it comes a new job where none of the workers there, or the boss will take his kind of attitude if he shows it, so once he's talked to the boss, he finds he must change his attitude, and start as he means to go on.
It is Tad that is set to change his life, and he doesn't know it until it hits him. Tad doesn't take any of the trouble he brings to other guys, he makes sure Kyle knows where he stands with him, and as a reader you can't blame him. He doesn't like the way he sleeps with any guy he meets, and he thinks he won't burden him with it either, and sets him straight on a number of things he thinks he might have trouble with if he's around him for too long.
He thinks that other straight guys around might not accept a gay guy whoring around as he does. Then he kisses him. It's so unexpected that it amazes even him. That Tad would shout at him, then kiss him is beyond him, but he accepts it and says he'll be good. After that something strange happens; whereas before in bed at night when he sees the men he sleeps with, he doesn't see their faces, when he romanticizes about Tad, he sees his face for the first time, and enjoys the experience. Here is a guy who won't back down, who won't take any bother from him – if anything it will be Kyle who submits to him and his needs.
Even when his interest has switched from Jason to Tad, he is still in denial, but what he doesn't realize above all else is that he's in love with him, the man who brings him to his knees, the man who makes him tremble when he comes near. There is a lovely end to this novella, and readers will enjoy the happy ending it brings after all Kyle has been through.
