Culture Shock
By Steven Robert Allen
Beyond the fact that they were both famous American artists, Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol don't seem to have all that much in common. O'Keeffe is deeply associated with the crusty, dry, rural Southwest, while Warhol epitomizes the hipster New York City art scene of the '60s. O'Keeffe's work is filled with natural light and natural settings, while Warhol's most famous work focuses on celebrities and household products.

Yardfest 2005
By Steven Robert Allen
For years, one of the most enjoyable and least pretentious arts events in town was Steve White's Yardfest, held yearly in the front yard of White's former Folk Farm on Louisiana just south of Central. A bunch of fantastic artists mixed with a bunch of rockin' live bands along with the infamous Hillbilly Biathalon (seed spitting and pie eating) made for quite an event, let me tell you.

California Court of Appeals, Second District, Fourth Division
October 3, 2014
JEAN KASEM, Plaintiff and Appellant,v.PETER R. DION-KINDEM et al., Defendants and Respondents.
[As modified Oct. 29, 2014.]
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, No. BC483947 Elizabeth White, Judge.
Page 1396
Haney & Young, Steven H. Haney, Gregory L. Young, Paul Eisner, and Jean Kasem, in pro. per., for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, Kenneth C. Feldman, Craig E. Holden, and Jeffry A. Miller for Defendants and Respondents.
Jean Kasem appeals from the judgment dismissing her legal malpractice action after the trial court sustained the demurrer of respondents Peter R. Dion-Kindem and Peter R. Dion-Kindem, P.C. (Dion-Kindem) to her third amended complaint without leave to amend. We find no error and affirm the judgment.
In 2003, Ralphs Grocery Company sublet the lower level of its commercial building space at 10309 West Olympic Boulevard to Jean Kasem's company,
Page 1397
The Little Miss Liberty Round Crib Company (Little Miss Liberty); Ralphs operated its grocery store above the subleased premises. In 2007, water and sewage flowed into the subleased premises, damaging inventory. Kasem, individually and on behalf of Little Miss Liberty, retained Dion-Kindem to represent her in an action against Ralphs for breach of contract based on Ralphs's refusal to pay for the damage incurred. (The Little Miss Liberty Crib Co. v. Ralphs Grocery Co. (Super. Ct L.A. County, 2012, No. BC410909).)
Ralphs asserted it had no liability, based on two provisions in the sublease. Section 14 provides in pertinent part: "Sublessor shall not be liable for injury or damage which may be sustained by Subtenant or any other person in or about the Demised Premises, to persons, goods, wares, merchandise or property, caused by or resulting from... water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Building of which the Demised Premises is a part or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or any other such defect of the pipes, wires, appliances, plumbing or lighting fixtures of the same, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Demised Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Demised Premises is a part or from the outside."
Section 12 of the sublease held Ralphs responsible for reasonable repair and maintenance of the premises, including all underground and overhead utilities and service lines, but limited its liability to an abatement of rent "for any loss, damage (including water damage)" resulting from Ralphs' failure to promptly or correctly perform repairs.
Little Miss Liberty asserted that the water and sewage backup was a "Hazardous Material" within the meaning of section 29 of the sublease, and that Ralphs was thus required to indemnify it for damages caused by the release of hazardous material. Subdivision A of section 29 requires the subtenant to comply with "all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations" including various specified pollution control, conservation, toxic substances control, and environmental and hazardous materials laws "relating to industrial hygiene, environmental protection or the use, analysis, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal or transportation of any oil, flammable explosives, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials or waste, or other hazardous, toxic, contaminated or polluting materials, substances or wastes, including, without limitation, any 'hazardous substances, ' 'hazardous wastes, ' 'hazardous materials, ' or 'toxic substances' under any such laws, ordinances or regulations (collectively 'Hazardous Materials')."
Under section 29, subdivision D of the sublease, Ralphs was obligated to indemnify its subtenant for all losses and expenses, including damage to property, resulting in whole or in part from Sublessor's or other tenants'
Page 1398
"release, threatened release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the Sublessor's building or common areas of the Shopping Center parking."
The case was tried to the court. The trial court found that Little Miss Liberty's damages resulted from an obstruction or leakage in the pipes or plumbing, within the meaning of section 14 of the sublease. Pursuant to that section, Ralphs had no liability for the resulting damages. The court also found that to the extent the damages occurred as a result of Ralphs's failure to adequately or promptly repair the plumbing or drains, Little Miss Liberty was barred from recovery under section 12 of the sublease.
The court rejected Little Miss Liberty's claim that the discharge from the plumbing lines constituted "Hazardous Material" within the meaning of section 29 of the sublease. According to the court, section 29 relates only to environmental liability laws; the term "Hazardous Material" as used in that section is a term of art to be defined within the referenced environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and Little Miss Liberty did not plead a violation of environmental law nor provide any credible evidence that the discharge from the plumbing lines constituted a "Hazardous Material" under any environmental law. Little Miss Liberty cited to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act because the definition of "pollutant" in that statute included the word "sewage." (See 33 U.S.C. § 1362(6).) Little Miss Liberty also cited the Safe Drinking Water Act because its definition of "contaminant" is "any physical, chemical, biological, or radiological substance or matter in water." (42 U.S.C. § 300(f)(6).) The court rejected the argument that this was sufficient evidence to establish that "sewage" is a "hazardous, toxic, contaminated or polluting material, substance or waste" under those statutes. The court also observed that Little Miss Liberty failed to present evidence of substances or chemicals in the discharge from the plumbing lines other than water and sanitary sewage. Judgment was entered for Ralphs; Little Miss Liberty did not appeal.
Instead, Kasem brought this action for legal malpractice against her attorney, Dion-Kindem. In the third amended complaint, the charging pleading, she alleged Dion-Kindem committed legal malpractice by failing to designate and call an expert witness at trial on the issue of whether sewage qualified as a hazardous material under the sublease. The court sustained Dion-Kindem's demurrer to the third amended complaint without leave to amend. Kasem[1] appeals from the judgment of dismissal.
Page 1399
In reviewing the sufficiency of a complaint against a general demurrer, we treat the demurrer as admitting all material facts properly pleaded, but not deductions or conclusions of fact or law; we also consider matters which may be judicially noticed. (Cedar Fair, L.P. v. City of Santa Clara (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1150, 1158-1159 [123 Cal.Rptr.3d 667].)
To state a cause of action for legal malpractice, a plaintiff must plead the duty of the attorney to use such skill, prudence, and diligence as members of his or her profession commonly possess and exercise; breach of that duty; a proximate causal connection between the breach and the resulting injury; and actual loss or damage resulting from the attorney's negligence. (Jocer Enterprises, Inc. v. Price (2010) 183 Cal.App.4th 559, 572 [107 Cal.Rptr.3d 539].) In sustaining the demurrer to the third amended complaint, the court took judicial notice of the sublease between Kasem and Ralphs, and of the amended statement of decision in the underlying trial from which the claim of malpractice arose. These documents, which were properly considered, support the conclusion that Kasem cannot plead the breach of duty element necessary for legal malpractice.
The alleged negligence in this case is that Dion-Kindem failed to designate and call an expert witness at the underlying trial on the issue of whether sewage qualified as a "Hazardous Material" under the lease, even after the trial court denied Dion-Kindem's request to take judicial notice of particular statutes which included sewage in the definition of hazardous material. Kasem further alleged: "Had an expert witness been designated and called to testify, that expert witness would have testified that: [¶] 1) Sewage is regulated by the Clean Water Act a/k/a the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, which is one of the enumerated Federal Acts in Section 29(A) of the lease that are defined as 'Hazardous Materials Law.' 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq. Sewage is specifically defined as a 'pollutant' by that legislation. 33 U.S.C. § 1362(6). [¶] 2) Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, a 'polluting material' is included in the definition of 'Hazardous Materials.' Lease Sec. 29(A). [¶] 3) Similarly, 'sewage['] is defined as 'waste' under California law as well. California Health and Safe § 5410(a), 5411, and 5411.5(a). That statute is also one of the laws enumerated as 'Hazardous Materials Law' in Section 29(A) of the lease. [¶] 4) Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, 'hazardous, toxic, contaminated or polluting... wastes' are included in the definition of 'Hazardous Materials.' Lease Sec. 29(A)." The complaint also cites other
Page 1400
laws, including the Los Angeles Municipal Code, that list sewage, sewage sludge, and biological waste as hazardous materials.
The problem with this claim is that Dion-Kindem properly sought judicial notice of the relevant statutes, which would have established as a matter of law that sewage is a hazardous material within the meaning of section 29 of the sublease. Under Evidence Code section 451, "Judicial notice shall be taken of the following: [¶] (a) The decisional, constitutional, and public statutory law of this state and of the United States...." (Italics added.) The court was required to take judicial notice of the federal and state statutes proffered by Dion-Kindem when the underlying case was tried. The court's refusal to do so was error, and this error formed the basis for the adverse result at trial.
In its amended statement of decision, the trial judge faulted Kasem for failing to produce expert testimony "that sewage discharged from the plumbing lines, as a general fact, constitutes 'Hazardous Material' within the meaning of Section 29 of the Sublease." The court noted Kasem "had the opportunity to call expert witnesses or any witness familiar and knowledgeable with the [Federal Water Pollution Control Act], [Safe Drinking Water Act], and/or environmental regulatory scheme set out in Section 29A and failed to do so."
Had the trial judge taken judicial notice of the referenced, relevant statutes, as required under Evidence Code section 451, subdivision (a), the question whether sewage was included within the definition of "Hazardous Material" would have been readily resolved. The testimony of an expert is limited to such an opinion as is "(a) Related to a subject that is sufficiently beyond common experience that the opinion of an expert would assist the trier of fact[.]" (Evid. Code, § 801, subd. (a).) The information in the referenced statutes is complex, aimed at protecting the quality of the nation's waters. (See City of Burbank v. State Water Resources Control Bd. (2005) 35 Cal.4th 613, 619 [26 Cal.Rptr.3d 304, 108 P.3d 862].) But these statutes were referenced in the underlying trial solely for their inclusion of sewage within the larger category of hazardous material—the term used in section 29 of the sublease. The consideration of statutes which expressly included sewage as a pollutant, and listed pollutants as coming within the statutory schemes referenced by section 29, was not a matter outside the trial court's common experience. To the extent statutory interpretation was an issue, that is a question of law to be determined by the court. (In re Marriage of Thornton (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 251, 253-254 [115 Cal.Rptr.2d 380].) Dion-Kindem's failure to call an expert to establish that sewage fell within the statutory scheme was not below the standard of care. The trial court erred in refusing
Page 1401
to take judicial notice of the relevant statutes and their application to the facts and, instead, faulting Kasem for failing to present expert testimony on the issue.
No appeal was taken from that decision, and this subsequent legal malpractice action provides no remedy for the trial court's error. Judicial error by the underlying trial court can negate the elements of a legal malpractice claim. (See Church v. Jamison (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 1568, 1584-1585 [50 Cal.Rptr.3d 166].) That is the case here.
In the amended statement of decision, the court also noted Kasem "did not present evidence of any other substances or chemicals that were present in the discharge from the plumbing lines other than water and sanitary sewage. Identifying that a particular substance is a 'Hazardous Material' within the meaning of the regulatory framework set forth in Section 29A of the Sublease requires the scientific knowledge of an expert." The amended statement of decision repeatedly refers to the discharge as "sewage, " and it appears there was no dispute at that trial, nor is there a dispute in this appeal, that the discharge into Little Miss Liberty's premises from the sewage line included "sewage." [2] Kasem's position in the underlying case was that under the relevant statutory law, sewage constituted a hazardous material within the meaning of section 29 of the sublease as a matter of law. The court may have been correct that proof of "other substances or chemicals" in the discharge would have required expert testimony, but such evidence would not have been necessary for Kasem to prevail based on sewage.
Kasem also alleged Dion-Kindem was negligent in "[f]ailing to retain an expert witness in commercial lease interpretation and practice in how environmental clauses in commercial leases are to be applied in a commercial lease." She again runs afoul of the limitations on expert testimony: expert opinion is generally not admissible on the legal interpretation of contracts. (Summers v. A. L. Gilbert Co. (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 1155, 1180 [82 Cal.Rptr.2d 162].) She cannot state a cause of action for malpractice based on this allegation.
Finally, in the reply brief, and for the first time in this litigation, appellant argues that if we accept respondents' argument that the trial court in the underlying suit erred in dismissing that action, the appellant "has a claim against Respondents for failure to advise Appellant of her appellate rights in the underlying case" and judgment should be reversed on that account, and that we should reverse with instructions that appellant be given leave to
Page 1402
amend. This is appellant's entire argument on the point. "Obvious reasons of fairness militate against our considering this poorly developed and untimely argument, " and we do not. (See Garcia v. McCutchen (1997) 16 Cal.4th 469, 482, fn. 10 [66 Cal.Rptr.2d 319, 940 P.2d 906];
see Series-AGI West Linn of Appian Group Investors DE, LLC v. Eves (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 156, 168 [158 Cal.Rptr.3d 193].)
Kasem has had numerous opportunities to amend her complaint to state a cause of action for legal malpractice, but she has not alleged a relevant breach of duty by Dion-Kindem. What she has established instead is trial court error which precluded her from establishing that the sewage discharge into her premises was covered by section 29 of the sublease.
The judgment is affirmed. The parties are to bear their own costs on appeal.
Manella, J., and Collins, J., concurred.

Various types of devices and systems have been used for positioning implants into a patient in surgical procedures. Spinal stabilization systems have employed plating systems, rods, anchors, fusions devices, artificial discs, and other implants along or in the spinal column for rigid, dynamic, and semi-rigid spinal stabilization procedures. Such systems often include multiple implant members that must be engaged for the system to be properly installed. There remains a need for instruments and methods for delivering multiple implants to the implantation location while minimizing the time and complexity associated with handling and securing such implants during surgery.
Instruments and methods for positioning multiple implants in surgical procedures include an instrument for delivering multiple implants configured to permit sequential securement of the implants in multiple receptacles of one or more receiving members or at multiple locations in the patient. The delivery instruments and methods permit implantation of multiple implants without any requirement for re-loading or re-engaging a second implant to the instrument after delivery of a first implant.
In one form, there is provided a surgical instrument comprising an elongated interior member receivable within an interior passage of an elongated housing member. The interior passage of the housing member generally extends from a proximal end to an opening at a distal end and includes at least one pair of guides disposed therein. The elongated interior member defines a chamber for holding a plurality of implants at its proximal end, the chamber communicating with at least one pair of positionable implant engaging arms at its distal end. The implant engaging arms include an implant gripping portion structured to engage with one of the plurality of implants. The elongated interior member is moveable within the elongated housing member between a plurality of positions including a loading position and a delivery position. When the interior member is at the loading position, the guides direct the positionable implant engaging arms away from one another to create a pathway for the one implant of the plurality of implants to move from the chamber to the implant gripping portion. The guides direct the implant engaging arms toward each other to engage the implant when the interior member is at the delivery position.
In another form, a surgical instrument for delivering multiple implants to an implantation location is provided. The instrument includes an elongated housing member extending along a longitudinal axis from a transverse operator handle at a proximal end to an opening at a distal end. The housing member defines an internal bore extending axially along the longitudinal axis from the transverse operator handle to the opening. The internal bore includes a pair of guide pins disposed transversely to the longitudinal axis and proximally to the opening. Further included is a dispensing member defining an interior magazine area structured to hold a plurality of implants at its proximal end and a pair of flexible implant engaging arms defining an implant gripping portion at its distal end. Two implant retaining members are included and are pivotally coupled to the housing member adjacent the opening at the distal end of the housing member. The dispensing member is longitudinally translatable within the internal bore of the housing member such that when the dispensing member is moved toward the opening the guide pins stop translational movement at a first position where the implant engaging arms are positioned to engage a first implant with the implant gripping portion. When the dispensing member is moved away from the opening, the guide pins stop translational movement at a second position where the implant engaging arms are spaced apart to release the first implant and form a passageway. A second implant from the magazine is moveable along the passageway toward the implant gripping portion to be engaged by the implant engaging arms. When the implant moves toward the implant gripping portion, the retaining members are biased toward the opening of the housing member to prevent the implant from exiting through the opening of the housing member before being engaged by the implant engaging arms.
In yet another form, there is provided a surgical system including an implantable receiving member including at least one receptacle. The surgical system further includes an instrument including a proximal handle member; a magazine member defining an implant magazine and a distal implant driver; a housing member coupled with the handle member and extending longitudinally about the magazine member with the magazine member being moveable therein; and a pair of implant retaining members at a distal end of the housing member. A plurality of implants is included and is moveably positioned in the implant magazine. As the magazine member is translated in a first direction the implant driver is structured to receive an implant while the retaining members are structured to retain the implant at the implant driver. The implant driver is further structured to tighten about the implant as the magazine member is translated in a second direction. At least one of the implants is engageable with the receiving member when delivered from the implant driver.
Related features, aspects, embodiments, objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Any such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated devices, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Positioning of multiple implants during a surgical procedure is facilitated by an implant delivery instrument that includes an implant driver disposed within a housing member. The implant driver includes a magazine for holding a plurality of implants and an implant gripping portion in communication with the magazine to receive an implant therefrom. The implant driver is moveable within the housing member to facilitate loading of an implant from the magazine to the implant gripping portion while in one position and gripping of an implant to facilitate insertion to a receiving member while in an alternative position.

An installation from Antonello Incagnone & Antonella Ruggirello.
The installation is born from an idea that I follow for a long time. Common people in spaces and common times.
With my wife, that it has cured up-painted cut-in on the photos let alone the choice and the disposition of the objects in the space, we have thought that one of the greatest contradictions of the contemporary world is just the image.
Common people would kill themselves in order "to appear" and al same time hates "to be spied on" while, voyeur in action, it adores the gossip. The idea begins them of dealing like V.I.P. common people are themselves to evolving with the contribution of Antonella in the "elevation to icona", on the tracks of Andy Warhol, adding or evidencing details of the photo through up-painted cut-in.
3 panels with 5 photos (B&W printed) everyone of 30×150 cm covered the three walls available, while a German telescope of the '45 hung to flank of a panel with two eyes, of which one up-painted, while in an angle a low small table accommodated a reader of slides from table and the book of the companies.
But the installation had to interact with the visitor who had to become also he protagonist.
Then we invent ourselves "totem" on which they come applies to you to two eyes (up-painted photos) through which you can watch within being forced to fold to you. To the inside of totem a notebook with a presentation of 140 photo on the topic (to the job, in road, to the sea etc) in BW and colors on notes of Modern Times by Bob Dylan, that it came daily widened from photo of the persons who watched within the totem and of passing. Watching within, therefore, the visitor could see that others before he had been photographed in the action to watch and it was turned behind in order to control if also he…
Finally in the income, over an other decorated eye up-painted, an other notebook with webcam to mirror the images of the visitors that entered and exited.
The world of the "great brother" came in some reproduced way, in all its members, in 20 mq.

OmniTI, a provider of web application development and infrastructure management for companies that require scalable, high-performance, mission critical solutions, today announced the introduction of support packages for the Apache Traffic Server™ (ATS) Open Source software.
OmniTI is offering both standard and premium level services packages. Both options provide support for an unlimited number of servers and support requests, and include options for 24x7 support and the ability to get "hot fixes," or patches for bugs, ahead of inclusion in the main ATS release. The Premium Support package also includes a two node subscription to Circonus, the next-generation monitoring platform, with metrics made available specifically for ATS monitoring. In addition to the new support offerings, OmniTI also provides custom plugin and feature development for Apache Traffic Server as part of its service.
Originally developed by Inktomi, and later acquired and open sourced by Yahoo!, Apache Traffic Server is one of the leading open source caching proxy servers available today. Through its own scalability consulting work, OmniTI has been working with ATS for several years. During that time, OmniTI developers have used it under extremely demanding, high traffic, and mission critical production loads, become highly involved in the Apache open source project, and actively participate in its development as core contributors.
"We've used ATS for years in our client environments and have been impressed with the software and the community behind it," said Robert Treat, COO of OmniTI. "Until now we've included ATS support as a part of our web engineering and infrastructure management engagements, but did not have a formal offering. With the launch of our Apache Traffic Server support packages; we can now deliver a customized and more formal level of service to more companies, making it easier for organizations to manage their ATS deployments."
Pricing and Availability
The OmniTI ATS support packages are available immediately and prices range from $12,000-$25,000 annually. For more information on OmniTI's standard and premium packages, click here.
Apache Traffic Server
Apache Traffic Server™ software is a fast, scalable and extensible HTTP/1.1 compliant caching proxy server. Formerly a commercial product, Yahoo! donated it to the Apache Foundation, and it is now an Apache TLP. It is a general-purpose implementation that can be used to proxy and cache a variety of workloads, from single site acceleration to CDN deployment and very large ISP proxy caching. The Apache Software Foundation is not associated with and does not recommend any consulting resource.
Founded in 1997, OmniTI designs, builds and operates web infrastructures and applications for companies that require scalable, high-performance, mission critical solutions. Targeted to B2C organizations, the company's expert engineers specialize in providing complex, high-transaction and large-volume data applications. Unlike competitors that offer limited web design, development or database services, OmniTI offers end-to-end, purpose built technology solutions that include strategic consulting, web design and development, database services, Internet architecture support and managed services. OmniTI is committed to continuous innovation that enables businesses on the web to move at customer speed.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Essay:
My aunt was born in Hong Kong. She has two children, one is twenty and the other is twenty-two. Both her parents, my grandparents are still alive but live in Hong Kong. The interview took place in my aunt's business, which is a travel agency that she owns and operates. After the travel agency shut down for the day, we sat down over cookies and tea for this ethnography interview. I informed my aunt of the purpose of the interview, and she offered to sign an informed consent agreement that I prepared for her. This informed consent process is important for ethical and legal purposes when conducting any research. The information I collect from my aunt will be used for the purposes of this class only, and she must be informed if her name or any personal information is used in other contexts.
The interview focused on her perception of folklore in Hong Kong culture, and how modern Chinese people incorporate ancient folklore practices and traditions in their daily lives. In spite of the dominance of technology, science, and reason in modern Hong Kong culture, there are still elements of folklore that are unmistakable. It is this intersection between the modern and the traditional that makes many cultures interesting from an anthropological and cultural perspective. It is also important to know how folklore is perceived: do people actually believe the folklore as fact, or is it more a matter of staying tied to their culture and ancestry. Also, the interview will clarify how folklore is used, and what kinds of folklore are most important. Also, it is important to find out exactly what aspects of folklore are incorporated into daily life, and what might have become outdated with my aunt's generation. Therefore, I began by asking about her childhood memories. This would clarify the changes that have taken place since my grandparents' generation in Hong Kong to my aunt's and parents' generation, ultimately to our younger generation.
"What do you remember from your childhood, in terms of how folklore was used or presented?" I asked this question first. My aunt responded with a smile, saying that many aspects of daily life were stepped in folklore and tradition and it is hard to separate folklore from other aspects of culture. For example, she remembered that my grandmother had a lot of superstitions. Some of these superstitions were shared by all members of the society, such as an aversion to number four (4) and the symbolism of certain colors. I noted that these were some enduring aspects of Chinese folklore that even young people are familiar with today. My grandmother's specific folklore superstitions came passed down from her grandparents, and were specific to the family. In other words, my aunt's best friends' parents did not have superstitions such as "it was bad luck to leave your shoes upside-down inside the house." Also, my aunt said that her grandmother thought it was good luck to eat a sweet after every meal "but I think that was just her excuse to eat more dessert." The fact that my aunt recalls superstitious beliefs unique to the family shows that there are ways individuals create their own responses to the overall cultural worldview. Folklore was very important to my grandparents, to the point where they would guide many of their decisions based on their folk beliefs.
Folk medicine, for example, was more popular in my grandparents' day than it was for my aunt, even though traditional Chinese medicine has become part of the mainstream. There are folk remedies used by my grandparents that are inspired by ancient Chinese beliefs about health and the way the body works. Many of these folk remedies have been replicated generation after generation throughout the culture, which is why they are still used today. In fact, my aunt did not believe that a lot of the traditional Chinese medicine practices were based on folklore at all. They are considered as factual as Western medical traditions. My aunt even said that she believed that the Chinese herbal remedies were more proven effective than the Western pharmacy remedies because the Chinese ones have been used for much longer, and have been tested on more people.
Folklore is integral to cultural identity. Chinese culture is diverse, and folklore is one way that individuals like my aunt differentiates herself from other Chinese people. Of course, language and customs are also ways that subcultures differentiate themselves from other groups within one umbrella society. However, folklore plays a greater role than we realize. Even issues like gender identity can be traced to folklore and the belief systems that come from the folklore. For example, gender identity in Chinese society may come from specific stories in Chinese folklore like the story of Mulan. Mulan was a woman who dressed like a man in order to serve in the military and defend her people. The story of Mulan inspires both men and women to follow what is ethical and just, rather than to always believe that we are restricted by our gender.
During the interview with my aunt, I asked her to tell me what evidence of folklore she perceived in her daily life with regards to identity. She had a hard time answering the question directly; so instead I asked her to tell me about how holidays are celebrated, and what customs she attributes to folklore stories. The first thing that my aunt mentioned was the way that folklore was used during the Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong. Many of the same traditions used at home in Hong Kong were brought over to the United States and Canada, where there are immigrant communities practicing the same types of folklore celebrations. "The parades are very important for chasing away the bad spirits, in order to welcome a new year full of change, promise, health, and prosperity," said my aunt. In particular, the loud noises at the New Years celebrations chase away bad spirits. Food is also integral to the celebrations. "We eat special foods, which are white in color, as well as foods that symbolize longevity such as noodles. Fish and other seafood are used to bring prosperity." The same can be said for the festivities at other holidays throughout the New Year. In modern families, the children's birthdays are also celebrated. This represents the fusion of the ancient Chinese folklore traditions with the traditions of Western society. For example, many young Chinese kids growing up in the United States and Canada expect to have a birthday cake and candles, which is not a Chinese tradition.
One of the most notable folklore traditions that has been incorporated into modern life is the lion dance, which is done at the start of new businesses. Basically, the lion dance is used to frighten away the bad spirits that could cause bad luck to befall a new business. The bad spirits are chased away by the lion symbol and also by the loud noises. When it is used to bless the new business, the lion dance also ushers in peace and prosperity for the family. My aunt did not know exactly what the origin of the lion dance was, and also the dragon dance used at larger celebrations. Her ignorance of the facts surrounding the origins of the folklore shows that mainly scholars will understand the exact origins of these traditions, but the people who actually practice them make them a part of their lives. Chinese people, for example, internalize the customs and traditions to the point where they do not really think about questions of "why are we doing this?" Young people might occasionally question the reason, but carry out the traditions anyway out of respect for the parents.
Folklore also binds together people of the same culture, which is an integral part of identity formation. There are other examples of the ways that my aunt proudly displays signs of connection with her Chinese folklore heritage. For example, I pointed out the Feng Shui "bagua" that hangs in her office. The bagua is a red octagon shape, which contains special symbols. When we spoke about the bagua and feng shui, it was clear my aunt did not see a connection necessarily between this and specific folklore. The folklore stories that we hear as children, such as fairy tales, are different from the practices that are considered integral to daily life. Feng shui is rooted in Chinese and Taoist folklore, but to explain the connection would require scholarly research. People who practice feng shui can tell you things like where to put mirrors to scare away the bad spirits, or to foster prosperity by burning incense in certain places. However, stories and tales from Chinese folklore are considered separate.
For example, my aunt told me a story I had not heard before. It was about the master of a household who treated his servants very poorly. The servants left, and then a fox appeared to the master of the…[continue]

Video Poker is a real solitary game, and thankfully there isn't much etiquette in regards to it. However that doesn't mean there aren't a few things you should know before you play any video poker on your next trip to Atlantic City.United States Play at Bovada
The first thing you should know is that if you see an empty video poker machine with a stool or chair leaning up against it – it usually isn't empty. Even if there are no credits in it, usually that means someone has just left to get more money to continue playing the machine. While there are of course no exact rules – and you're not exactly going to be thrown out of the casino just because you played at one of these machines – you are going to upset the person that left their stool there.
The same applies if the change bucket is left in the tray where the money or chips come out. This is another indication that the video poker machine is still occupied, even if no-one is currently sitting at it.
The best thing to do in these scenarios is if there is anyone sitting next to that machine – just ask them if it is occupied. It's possible it has been sitting that way for about an hour as the last occupant got distracted, in which case its obviously fine to play it.
The last thing you need to know about video poker is to ignore thy neighbour. If you're playing beside someone don't spend all the time sitting and staring and watching them. Many people don't like it, and may even consider it bad luck. Just focus on your own game, and shut off the outside world.

Additional Video Poker Etiquette Questions:
Is it OK to use strategy table crib notes when playing video poker in a casino?
Yes it is. Some casinos will actually hand out strategy cards for games, although that is usually reserved for the likes of Blackjack because it allows and encourages faster play.
We highly recommend taking video poker strategy cards with you too, because often if you play a video poker machine which will "auto-hold" cards for you, they will not always provide "perfect strategy", often holding cards that you shouldn't be holding, or not holding cards that you should be holding.
