Re: What are you growing this year?
Last year tried growing veg in plastic containers on the patio and will do same this year. Had success with mixed salad leaves - lovely to pick fresh, spring onions and carrots. Also parsley and coriander.
Going to expand this this year - even thought on buying a poly tunnel. Got seed potatoes at the ready to start with - so enjoyed doing this last year

Re: What are you growing this year?
I just got back from purchasing some herbs. I bought sweet basil, boxwood basil, rosemary, greek oregano, parsley, peppermint and spearmint. Can't wait to get them in their new planters. It will be nice on my balcony when I grill to smell those wonderful herbs.
I may go back to the nursery and get some tomatoes and peppers. I was tempted, but decided to just grab what I could get upstairs in one trip.

Re: What are you growing this year?
I'll be growing not much with any great success if this dry weather keeps up. Hose pipe ban in place, water butts dry as a bone, could be hopeless.
I'll not bother with the runner beans this year, they need so much water and we'll have to ration it out.
Now what will grow in arrid conditions

Re: What are you growing this year?
I'm playing with edible flowers this year! Who knew so many blooms were edible! And they make salads absolutely spectacular. Also, you can candy a few and decorate cupcakes and muffins with them! Also I planted a few herbs like basil, oregano and catnip for tea. That is, if the neighborhood cats leave me any! Veggie-wise just tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash. I'm hoping for a few new recipes for these too! *toothy hopeful grin*

I think that I started a thread on edible flowers some time ago and I also think there is a thread that MrOliver also started on the same topic.

VU alum's film to premiere on Investigation Discovery channel
Vanguard University alumna Olivia Klaus '99 and her film, Sin by Silence, will premiere on the Investigation Discovery channel on October 17th at 8PM E/P.
"We are proud to bring this powerful documentary to television, to share with audiences the harrowing stories of these women behind bars," said Henry Schleiff, president of Investigation Discovery. "Instead of fighting a system that does not fully comprehend the complexities of abuse, the women of CWAA chose to fight to change laws for battered women nationwide. Through the premiere of this documentary, we hope to extend their message and champion their crusade to stop the cycle of violence."
Klaus was recently recognized by the Pixel Project as one of the top 16 influential leaders in the movement to end violence against women. Sin by Silence, has been spotlighted as a major contributor to the ongoing fight against violence against women. Klaus is making a significant impact in the film industry by shedding light on violence against women.

You might be wondering why there's a Google Map centered on Fajita Grill up here. Couple answers:
1) Fajita Grill rules; so cheap and ridiculous; enormous margs. Funny servers. Etc. You can get a taco/chalupa/enchilada combo for less than $8, for realzies.
2) It was a good landmark to indicate the location of my new favorite (probably illegal) swimming hole; right there in the Presumpscot just before Bridge Street.

Natural area on Upper Cullen Lake protected
The Trust for Public Land announces that a 120-acre natural area on Upper Cullen Lake in Nisswa has been protected by Crow Wing County and The Trust for Public Land.
"The Upper Cullen Lake parcel has high environmental and recreational values," said Kirk Titus, Land Services supervisor for Crow Wing County. "It really enhances the Crow Wing County Memorial Forest."
The land is immediately adjacent to Crow Wing County Memorial Forest, which is owned by Crow Wing County. With this purchase, the Memorial Forest will now have a direct connection to Upper Cullen Lake.
Crow Wing County will now be the permanent steward of the land, providing for public hiking, hunting and fishing, while protecting the land's biodiversity.
The land is considered by conservation experts to provide critical habitat for a variety of species of wildlife, including many of those in greatest conservation need, such as bald eagles and Blanding's turtles.
It has more than 1,000 feet of a designated trout stream and 1,500 feet of lakeshore, so keeping the land in its natural state will also protect important spawning habitat for a variety of fish.
"This is exciting news for people who enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking and just being in nature," said state Rep. John Ward, DFL-Baxter, who serves on the Minnesota House Legacy Committee, which allocates funding for a variety of conservation initiatives. "This is a special place, and now future generations of Minnesotans are going to be able to enjoy it in its natural state."
Protection of this land has been a high priority for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Prior to The Trust for Public Land's purchase for conservation, land along the shoreline had been subdivided into a number of separate lots and had been listed for sale.
Working with the state and Crow Wing County, land conservation experts from The Trust for Public Land negotiated an option to purchase the land. Funding for the conservation purchase came from a state government appropriation of lottery proceeds and a contribution from the landowner.
The purchase of the land was finalized July 16. Lottery proceeds are from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative Citizens Commission on Minnesota Resources.
"Crow Wing County has been a great conservation partner at Upper Cullen Lake," said Susan Schmidt, director of The Trust for Public Land's Minnesota Office.

7 Benefits of Jumping Rope
ACE Fit Share
February 13, 2013, 11:57AM
With more than half of U.S. adults on a diet at any given time, it is no surprise that myriad weight-loss tips, plans and gimmicks pervade the Internet, bookstores and dinner conversations. It is difficult for even the most discerning and highly educated health, fitness and nutrition professionals to weed through the massive amount of available information to discern fact from fiction. In fact, even some of the most widely accepted beliefs about weight loss, espoused by leading experts and advocates, may not even be true. Now, a group of academicians have published a paper on the topic in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). They divided common weight-loss beliefs into myths, presumptions and facts. Here is a recap of what they had to say:
Myths: "Beliefs held to be true despite substantial refuting evidence"
"Small sustained changes in energy balance ("eat less, exercise more") will lead to large, long-term weight loss."
"Setting realistic goals for weight loss is important, because otherwise patients will become frustrated and lose less weight."
"Large, rapid weight loss is associated with poor long-term weight-loss outcomes, as compared with slow, gradual weight loss."
"It is important to assess the stage of change or diet readiness in order to help patients who request weight-loss treatment."
"Physical education classes, in their current form, play an important role in reducing or preventing childhood obesity."
"Breastfeeding is protective against obesity."
"A bout of sexual activity burns 100 to 300 calories."
Presumptions: "Beliefs held to be true for which convincing evidence does not yet confirm or disprove their truth"
"Regularly eating (versus skipping) breakfast is protective against obesity."
"Early childhood is the period in which we learn exercise and eating habits that influence our weight throughout life."
"Eating more fruits and vegetables will result in weight loss or less weight gain, regardless of whether any other changes to one's behavior or environment are made."
Weight cycling (e.g., yo-yo dieting) is associated with increased mortality.
"Snacking contributes to weight gain and obesity."
"The built environment, in terms of sidewalk and park availability, influences the incidence or prevalence of obesity."
Facts: "Propositions backed by sufficient evidence to consider them proved for practical purposes"
"…moderate environmental changes can promote as much weight loss as the most efficacious pharmaceutical agents available"
"Diets very effectively reduce weight…but diet(s) generally do not work well in the long term.
"Regardless of body weight or weight loss, an increased level of exercise increases health."
"Physical activity…aids in long-term weight maintenance"
"Continuation of conditions that promote weight loss promotes maintenance of lower weight."
"For overweight children, programs that involve the parents and the home setting promote greater weight loss or maintenance."
"Provision of meals and use of meal-replacement products promote greater weight loss."
"Some pharmaceutical agents can help patients achieve clinically meaningful weight loss and maintain the reduction as long as the agents continue to be used."
"In appropriate patients, bariatric surgery results in long-term weight loss and reductions in the rate of incident diabetes and mortality."
While this article was published by a group of scientists in a prestigious medical journal, it is worth pointing out that the authors did disclose a very long list of conflicts of interest, including widespread funding and support from weight-loss companies like Jenny Craig, food-industry giants like Kraft and Coca-Cola, a baby formula company and several pharmaceutical companies, to name a few. Clearly, these entities have a vested interest in the findings of this study and, while scientists aim to remain unbiased when conducting and evaluating research, many of the authors of this study do have a financial stake in their findings. Now it's time for you to weigh in. What are your thoughts about what works and what doesn't? This discussion of myths, presumptions, and facts is based on what we know from the scientific literature, but sometimes experiences from the real world that have not yet been studied are just as meaningful and may inspire the next big research study.

Henry Purcell
born in London, England, composed during the Baroque period
Purcell was born in 1659 to Henry Purcell, master of choristers at Westminster Abbey, and his wife Elizabeth. When he was five, his father died, forcing his mother to resettle the family of six children into a more modest house and lifestyle. In about 1668, Purcell became a chorister in the Chapel Royal, studying under chorus master Henry Cooke. He also took keyboard lessons from Christopher Gibbons, son of the composer Orlando Gibbons, and it is likely that he studied with John Blow and Matthew Locke. In 1673, Purcell was appointed assistant to John Hingeston, the royal instrument keeper.
On September 10, 1677, Purcell was given the Court position of composer-in-ordinary for the violins. It is believed that many of his church works date from this time. Purcell, a great keyboard virtuoso by his late teens, received a second important post in 1679, this one succeeding Blow as organist at Westminster Abbey, a position he would retain all his life. That same year saw the publication of five of the young composer's songs in John Playford's Choice Ayres and Songs to Sing to the Theorbo-lute or Bass-viol. Around the same time, he began writing anthems with string accompaniment, completing over a dozen before 1685, and welcome songs. Purcell was appointed one of three organists at the Chapel Royal in the summer of 1682, his most prestigious post yet.
Purcell composed his first ode for St. Cecilia's Day in 1683. The following month, upon Hingeston's death, he was named royal instrument keeper while retaining his other posts. The composer remained quite prolific in the middle part of the decade, primarily producing music for royal occasions. In 1685 the new King, James II, introduced many changes at Court, one of which was to make Purcell the Court harpsichordist and Blow the Court composer. Near the end of 1687, Queen Mary's pregnancy was announced and Purcell was commissioned to compose an anthem for Psalm 128, Blessed are they that fear the Lord. Many other of his anthems appeared in 1688, as did one of his more famous ones for church use, O sing unto the Lord.
With the ascension of William and Mary to the throne on April 11, 1689, Purcell retained his post as royal instrument keeper, and he, along with Blow and Alexander Damazene, shared the duties of Court composers. With his royal duties reduced, he was able to pursue other opportunities, including teaching and writing for other organizations. One of Purcell's greatest successes came in 1689 with the production of Dido and Aeneas. He then collaborated with John Dryden on King Arthur in 1691, and also composed the music for The Fairy-Queen (1692), based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream both productions also scoring triumphs. In the final year of his life Purcell remained exceedingly busy, writing much for the stage, including The Indian Queen, left incomplete at his death on November 21, 1695. ~ Robert Cummings, Rovi

You know I followed this topic on another forum when it first came out.
The young man in question did not look 18 so the officers asked him for ID. All he had to do was show he was legally of age to carry a firearm and it would have been done but he did not so he was taken into custody, brought to the police station where his age was confirmed.
I have no problem with OC when someone has the SA to go with it and they are doing it for the right reason including exercising their rights but he was waiting for something like this to happen. It is incidents like this that hurt all gun owners, not the fact he was carrying, but all people will remember is that he sued and cost the city/taxpayers money.
In the article he stated that no one noticed well maybe two out of ten people noticed. If I see a person with a rifle in a park I think I would not only notice but show an increased interest in that person. Folks in California pushed to get attention for the OC cause but did it by parading around with cheap unloaded handguns and video camera waiting for the police to come. It is now illegal in the state to OC but wait there is more.
Instead of backing up and regrouping, oh no, if we can't OC handguns we will show them we will OC long guns. That was squashed a couple of months later. I understand there basic premise I really do but even Michigan Open Carry one of the largest pro open carry organizations in the country does not promote the OC of long guns and does not even allow it to be discussed on their forums. That decision came about after a group of OC advocates decided it would be smart to promote the cause by taking long guns into a library to prove their point.
I am of the opinion that yes it brings attention to their cause but it is the wrong type of attention. We as gun owners are not the ones who will elect pro gun legislators or push to get gun friendly laws passed we simply do not have the power or drive to do it. It is the regular citizen who sees things like this and says "Wow, did you see that kid with the gun in the park or at the salad bar at the restaurant, yes it has happened. I don't want that happening here". Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Amphibians are all but gone, bequeathing us lessons that must not be squandered
Joseph R. Mendelson III
Conservationists have been overwhelmed by the amphibian crisis. In the atmosphere of ongoing declines, we realized that there was no framework to address a challenge of this magnitude or rapidity. Even worse than problems of scope and scale is the reality that conservationists, collectively, are stymied by the central problem of not knowing what to do. We have decades of experience as first responders in aid of species threatened by the familiar challenges of habitat loss, pollution and overharvesting. In many of these cases the solution is straightforward (often, stop eating that species), even if the sociopolitical and economic challenges can be formidable. The appropriate conservation response for amphibians perishing from disease must await a real breakthrough in disease control. There is no vaccine for any fungal disease known to affect humans or livestock, despite the high value we place on those species. Breakthroughs in research take time, and the amphibians are teaching us that time is tragically correlated with functional and actual extinctions. Climate change is another difficult conservation challenge for amphibians, but the threat of climate change is shared by all species, so at least amphibians will benefit from global programs conservationists are now battling to enact worldwide.
The IUCN has produced an Amphibian Conservation Action Plan to outline the basic endeavors necessary to confront the global amphibian crisis. The plan outlines important programs to protect habitat, reduce pollution, control commercial harvest, understand the consequences of climate change, and expand efforts toward population monitoring and taxonomic studies. Two major elements of the plan focus on the understanding and control of emerging infectious diseases and on the conundrum of what to do in the case of epidemics. The IUCN has charged the Amphibian Specialist Group (http://www.amphibians.org) and the newly organized Amphibian Survival Alliance with monitoring amphibian status worldwide and implementing an action plan. Meanwhile, awaiting the necessary breakthroughs in research and disease control, IUCN has charged Amphibian Ark (http://www.amphibianark.org) with the difficult task of organizing a global network of captive survival-assurance colonies of those species that can no longer be safeguarded in the wild. Nobody prefers a future in which amphibians on this planet are to be found only in safe-house aquaria at zoos and other institutions, but that is the best hope for some species right now.
Amphibians are teaching us lessons about the state of our planet. Waves of unstoppable fungal epidemics have all but silenced the wonderful frog choruses, all but eliminated the massive hidden biomass of invertebrate-consuming salamanders, and they have done so in some of the most remote and pristine areas left on our planet, including national parks. Those remote and fully protected areas may end up little more than ghosts of epidemics past. We remain pitifully ignorant of the basic biology, and the fates, of the ever-mysterious earthworm-like caecilians. Jonathan Campbell's work at Reserva del Quetzal in Guatemala indicates that it has lost about 70 percent of its amphibian species. Karen Lips's site in the Parque Nacional G. D. Omar Torrijos H., near El Copé, Panama, lost at least 30 species of amphibians (41 percent of the total) in the span of a few months during 2004 and 2005.
I am by profession an amphibian taxonomist, if nowadays a part-time forensic taxonomist, and I am by necessity an amphibian conservationist. The thrill of discovering and naming new species never gets old, but documenting the disappearance of any species—especially ones that I discovered and named—feels like a personal blow every time it happens. I never anticipated that my career as a neontologist in the life sciences would so closely resemble paleontology. There is a parallel between what amphibian taxonomists do these days and what homicide detectives do. Both arrive at scenes of mayhem. Maybe they solve the crime, but they are powerless to undo it. Yet the difficulty of demonstrating actual extinction gives me a flicker of hope. I hope that I am wrong in some of my scientific endeavors—a posture I never anticipated as a graduate student.
Our powerlessness in this terrible crisis must be balanced by increased efforts in realms that we can control, such as reducing carbon emissions to protect what habitat remains from chemical and physical disruption. We can go further and restore what has been wounded but can still be salvaged. We need to inspire and fund truly innovative research on pathogens in order to better predict and thwart emerging infectious diseases. The lessons we learn here will extend far beyond the amphibians. We must support funding for programs such as the Amphibian Ark and the Amphibian Survival Alliance. We must keep looking for species gone missing, and continue biodiversity surveys, despite the sometimes paralyzing depression that both activities can induce in this era. But especially, we need to pay close attention to the lessons that legions of dead amphibians are teaching us. I note with some satisfaction that our colleagues in bat research and conservation did not spend a decade arguing whether the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome could possibly eliminate entire colonies of bats in a single season. Our colleagues assumed that it was possible and reacted quickly. We can thank the amphibians for leaving us that lesson, but at such cost.

What began as an informal group to lend social support to Dixon children has blossomed into a full-service agency catering to the various needs of youths, adults and families.
January marked the 30th anniversary of Dixon Family Services and community leaders say they look forward to at least 30 more.
"Unquestionably, DFS has served many residents of the city of Dixon with housing, helping them in times of need .... supporting the community with services from food to counseling," said Mayor Jack Batchelor. "It's been very beneficial."
Jeanie Vanetti, who serves as treasurer for the DFS board, emphasized the wonders of the agency.
"They do so much good for the people of Dixon," she enthused. "They do so much good for so many people and it's very heartwarming to see."
Cookie Powell, for one, is grateful for the praise. A near 20-year veteran with the organization, the executive director has seen DFS sprout and bloom. And as the agency grew, so did Powell, who raised four children on her own while growing DFS' offerings.
"I understand what they're going through. I've experienced many of the same things," she said, of her clientele. "I know where they're coming from. I know it's hard."
DFS was founded in 1984 by a group of parents and teachers, Powell said. The aim - to help kids with behavioral issues. The first program, "Just For Kids," is still in place today.
The agency evolved through the years, widening the focus to include people of all ages and backgrounds. Though Dixon residents are a priority, all Solano residents can benefit from DFS services.
Resources, too, have expanded, with classes and training on life skills and employment, substance abuse treatment and prevention, escaping from domestic violence, and mental health and other counseling services. Referrals are also offered.
The stated mission is "to improve the quality of life for all families and individuals" by meeting every need. Help with housing and food are also provided and various county and other agencies, such as those dealing with Section 8, CalWORKS and WIC, also use the space. "If we didn't exist, a lot of things that are happening for our town wouldn't," Powell said. "Our building's used for a lot more than our standard programs."
The agency's crew is a true team, she added, one dedicated to embracing change and changing needs.
"I love this place," Powell proclaimed. "I want to keep it going."

Summer Salon Series 2012: 36 Hours Non-Stop
36 Hours Non-Stop: The Museum will be open at 10:00 AM Friday July 27 and the Summer Salon Series Programming will begins Friday evening and goes on through night. After the Museum closes on Saturday check out Screen on the Green at 8:00 pm Saturday night.
What is Summer Salon Series?
Every Friday evening, from June 1 through August 31, 2012, The San Diego Museum of Art will be hosting artists, lecturers, poets and performers to investigate the topics of historical fictions and the dissemination of information. Where do we get our news from? Who and what controls our access to information? What are the historical images and myths that affect our current social, cultural and political discourse? How is fiction used by artists to tell stories and create awareness of particular issues? Is there such a thing as the ethical use of propaganda? With such a glut of information at our fingertips, how do we assemble this information into practical knowledge? What are the personal fictions we tell ourselves as individuals? When does "the document" become the event itself in terms of shaping public discourse? These are the types of questions that have been raised since the popularization of postmodernist inquiry in the 20th century, which raise relevant questions for the information age, and serve as an appropriate link between contemporary art and the 15th century art that will be on view at the Museum over the summer.
This program provides the Museum an opportunity to present its version of the "salon," a place for all those interested in art and culture to meet, discuss ideas, and engage with artistic performances. The Series presents projects, performances, talks, demonstrations, and workshops, most for one night only.

This article, entitled "No Boredom - Yet!" comes from Pat Persaud, MomsEveryday blogger from Omaha, NE.
I can honestly say this is the first summer I haven't heard my kids say I'm bored! And it's the first summer that I really haven't had to organize stuff to keep them busy!
What's going on? They're growing up! They keep busy with friends and hobbies. Even jobs here and there!
I have one teenage driver so that frees a lot of driving with my son and even though I'm still driving my daughter from here to there, it's not a problem!
I just can't believe no one's bored yet! Not hearing that is music to my ears!
Yes, there are some pluses to having teenagers in the house. And an easy summer is one of them! More time for Mom and Dad to sit back, enjoy and have a cocktail!

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

to watch several consecutive (= following in order) episodes of a TV series one after another
'She's spacy, a little absentminded, incapable of keeping a diary or remembering the names of books she loves, and cites sleeping and chainwatching TV as among her favourite activities.'The Guardian 2 July 2013
You've got the opportunity to relax and do as little as possible. Why not curl up on the sofa and enjoy an extended period of pure escapism by reaching for a DVD box set of your favourite TV series? But instead of just watching one episode, or even two, what about indulging yourself a little further and watching four? Okay, five … Well, eight then … And maybe just one more …
The activity of watching episode after episode of a TV series in a single projected sitting now has its own informal designation – to chainwatch. The motivations for chainwatching may be varied: a genuine need to relax, procrastination, or just downright laziness! Characteristic of the activity is an intense enjoyment which borders on a form of 'addiction', the idea that you can be so gripped by a show that you just have to carry on watching and are prepared to sacrifice a number of hours of precious leisure time to do so.
the motivations for chainwatching may be varied: a genuine need to relax, procrastination, or just downright laziness
The opportunity to chainwatch is very much a product of 21st century media. In the seventies, chainwatching would have been inconceivable – you could watch a programme when, and only when, it was broadcast, and that was that. Even in the eighties and early nineties, there was a limit to the amount of programmes that could be stored on the humble old video cassette. Now, DVDs have changed all that, so that even mammoth TV series like the US's Lost and 24, with 121 and 192 episodes respectively, can comfortably sit on a few discs. There's also now a wide range of satellite channels, some of which show episodes back to back. And then of course there's Internet TV, with applications such as the BBC's iPlayer offering entire series to be watched at the viewer's convenience. It seems, then, that we have a variety of ways to chainwatch at our disposal, a temptation which, for the telly addicts among us, may be just too great to resist. Along similar lines, there's also some evidence for use of the terms binge-watching or binge-viewing (compare binge drinking, etc) as well as binge listening as a more generic reference to the activity of watching TV or listening to something for extended periods of time.
The informal verb chainwatch has been formed by analogy with the word chainsmoke, which refers to the action of smoking cigarettes one after another. The noun form chainsmoker, first used in the late 1800s, actually predates the verb by about 40 years, and its original use is thought to relate to Otto von Bismarck, cigar smoker and then chancellor of the German Empire. Chainsmoker therefore came into English as a loan translation of the original German word Kettenraucher.
Interestingly enough, there's at least a smattering of evidence to suggest that chain- has begun to take on a life of its own as a productive prefix, with the function of suggesting that an activity is compulsive or repetitious. Examples include chainlisten, describing the practice of listening to a particular song or piece of music over and over again, or the activities of chaineating and chaindrinking, in which people repeatedly consume a particular kind of food or drink. Examples suggest that intrinsic to this meaning of chain- is the idea of indulgence and doing things that are 'bad for you', such as eating high-calorie food or drinking alcohol (you could chaindrink coffee or cocktails for example, but would be unlikely to chaindrink water).

Following his return to New York in 1950, Guston became immersed in the fervour of the art scene and was an active member of the 'Eight Street Club', which included artists such as Robert Motherwell and Mark Rothko. He had a mid-career retrospective at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, in 1962 and a second major survey was held at The Jewish Museum, New York, 1966.
Prospects 1964 was shown at The Jewish Museum. The exhibition broughout together almost forty paintings completed between 1960 and 1965, and was conspicuous in its austerity. During the 1960s the artist gradually expunged colour from his palette,[1] and for Prospects he limited his palette to black and shades of grey only. Guston explained his approach:
I use white and black pigment; white pigment is used to erase the black I don't want and becomes grey. Working with these restricted means as I do now, other things open up which are unpredictable, such as atmosphere, light, illusion—elements which do seem relevant to the image but have nothing to do with color.[2]
Robert Storr observed that by 1962 the struggle between figure and ground had been resolved in the separation of the two.[3] In Guston's paintings of the mid 1960s, forms stand out against the background and usually occupy the centre of the canvas, as is the case with the principal squarish form and subsidiary fragments 'grouped' in Prospects[4]. In Prospects, while the black elements are pronounced, the intertwining of Guston's brushstrokes means that these features never fully disengage from the grey; they are distinguishable yet still grounded in the weave of the brushstrokes. The title Prospects suggests that at this time the artist was contemplating the direction his work would take in the future. While there may appear a uniformity to his output, particularly in 1964 and 1965, his titles, which utilise words such as 'portrait' or 'head', hint at a personification of the forms. Although not yet necessarily recognisable as 'images', the titles hint at Guston's thoughts.
Reviews of Guston's 1966 exhibition were mixed, not surprising given the shifting artistic climate in New York.[5] When Prospects was first shown at the National Gallery of Australia, Michael Desmond observed that the painting marked 'a crisis point in Guston's career':
This is part of the evolutionary moment between 1962 and 1968 in which he questioned the meaning and content of his work. The dark forms on grey background in this painting are coalescing into images, almost in spite of the artist … 'doubt has form'.[6]
Between the end of 1965 and late 1967, Guston ceased painting, concentrating instead on drawing as a means of solving the problems that he faced as an artist. When he returned to painting, Guston entered a new phase in his work.
Steven Tonkin
[1] This process is evident in a transitional work such as Close-up III 1961 (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), a painting in which grey and black predominate, while small areas of blue, green and rust-orange echo the principal colours used by Guston in the late 1950s. In New place 1964 (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) the dominant monochromatic central field is surrounded by a warm pink halo.
[2] William Berkson, 'Dialogue with Philip Guston, November 1, 1964', Art and literature: An international review 7, Winter 1965, p. 56, quoted in Robert Storr, Philip Guston, New York: Abbeville Press 1986, pp. 42–43. In a later conversation with Harold Rosenberg, the artist expanded: "It began developing earlier, but in the last years there's been, obviously, no colour. Simply black and white or gray and white, gray and black. I did this very deliberately, and I'll tell you why. Painting became more crucial to me. By 'crucial' I mean only the measure now was precisely to see whether it was really possible to achieve – to make this voyage, his adventure and to arrive at the release that we have been talking about without any seductive aids like color, for example.… .' Quoted in 'Philip Guston's object: A dialogue with Harold Rosenberg', in Philip Guston: Recent paintings and drawings, New York: The Jewish Museum 1966, pp. [9–10]; quoted in Dore Ashton, Yes, but … a critical study of Philip Guston, New York: The Viking Press 1976, pp. 132–133.
[3] Robert Storr, Philip Guston, New York: Abbeville Press 1986, pp. 42–43
[4] These identifiable features are reduced even further too a single black form characterised by short brushstrokes in Air II 1965 (Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven).
[5] It should be noted that only two months after his exhibition at The Jewish Museum, Primary structures opened at the same venue, and later that year the seminal exhibition Systemic painting was held at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, both heralding the concerns of a new generation of artists; see discussions in Ashton 1976, pp. 133–135, Storr 1986, p. 43

After crowding off the boat, Sofie and I went to our hotel. It was a very close walk away from the terminal, and I was surprised at how fancy the place was. After formulating a plan for the day, we decided that what we really needed was a nap. We slept for a few hours before heading out to go see some tourist attractions.
First we decided to walk to the Senate Square to take a look at Helsinki Cathedreal, completed in 1842. It is an absoloutley gigantic building, bright while with pale green domes. It dominates the square, and the skyline. As you approach, climbing up a steep staircase from below, it gets seems to get bigger and bigger. The inside is a little plain, but the bare interior blends well with the impressive exterior. The walls and celing are plane white, and it features little decoration. All it really features a four statues of famous Finnish people and some chandeliers.
After this we decided to head to Uspenski Cathedral, the largest Orthodox Cathedral in Western Europe.
From here we made our way down to the harbour where our boat came in in the morning. There was some sort of market going on. Many stalls, all selling slightly different variations of the same things. Almost every second stall was selling some kind of shrimp, and because of that the entire area smelled like fish. Other than that there were many people selling post cards, sheep related products, silver, and jewelry. Prices were alright, I guessed. I found it kind of hard to convert between Euro and Canadian Dollars. I guess I should have looked up the exchange rate before I left, all I could really do was convert between Canadian Dollars and Swedish Kronor.
During the evening is when things got really exciting. Sofie and I decided that we would eat at Pizza Hut, and there were two within walking distance. We picked one, just randomly, not really having a preference of which way we wanted to go. As we were walking to the one we had chosen, we noticed that there was a large group of people outside and some sort of red carpet on the ground. We decided to go and investigate and once we got closer we saw what was going on. There was some sort of Harry Potter publicity thing going on, and James and Oliver Phelps (a.k.a. Fred and George Weasley) were there signing autographs and taking pictures with fans! Both Sofie and I are big Harry Potter fans, so naturally we were extremely excited at this point. It was at this point that I was extremely happy that I always keep my camera in my purse, and we both got our picture taken with both of them. I don't know if anything more exciting could have ever happened that night, the amazing part was that there was nothing advertising that this was going on at all, and we just happened to walk by the right place at the right time. After this we went into Pizza Hut, and were extremely hyper and excited for the rest of the evening. We must have showed up right at the end of the meet & greet, because they had everything cleaned up and taken away by the time we were on our way back to the hotel.

Permanent link: [Article]-The 5 Secrets to Phishing Success
These days, it's hard to perform a penetration test without attempting some sort of online social engineering, and most often, this takes the format of some type of phishing attack (whether targeted or across a wide user base).
While we spend epic amounts of time getting our exploits and payloads perfect (even if we're using SET), far too often we see testers using stock emails or variants of canned emails that they've been taught to use without thinking about the real keys to getting their emails read and acted upon.
These are my five most-often overlooked secrets to making sure that your email phishing works...

That hits the nail on the head. One important thing to note about object oriented design is this, you're planning a system of interacting objects. That means you're objects will work together. Many a beginner programmer, including me , don't grasp this. You're objects should work together. They shouldn't be isolated from each other so you only make separate instances of them, you should be using them together.
Object-oriented design is the process of planning a system of interacting objects for the purpose of solving a software problem.
This leads into the first Principle of good object-oriented design
The Single Responsibility Principle
In object-oriented programming, the single responsibility principle states that every class should have a single responsibility, and that responsibility should be entirely encapsulated by the class. All its services should be narrowly aligned with that responsibility.
This is the fundamental building block of object-oriented design. Before we continue, let's take a closer look at what a responsibility is. In programming, a responsibility is something the class handles or does. Let's use a pong example:
When I first programmed pong, I had my Paddle class drawing itself, checking for collision, and updating itself. <-This was how all my other classes were designed too. This led to fragile code that would break if I changed any class, and the only way to fix it was to go through all my source and header files to fix the problem. The single responsibility principles goal is to make the above problems nonexistent in your code, and it largely succeeds.
Let's look at how we could fix this:
Have the paddle classes main goal to only update the paddles position and values. It doesn't draw the Paddle to the screen anymore. Do the same for the Ball class and the AIPaddle class. Then create another class called GameDraw. This has one AIPaddle, one Paddle, and a Ball. All this class does is use my get() functions to draw my objects to the screen. This means making a change to how I draw the screen doesn't affect my classes at all, and changing how I update my variables doesn't change how I draw my objects. Then I create a gamelogic class. This class calls all my Update() functions, thus making a change to how I update my objects won't change this class, and making a change to the order I update or what I update won't change the other Object's classes. Then, I create a BaseGame class. This class' responsibility is to run the game. It includes the gameobjects I need and a GameDraw/GameLogic class. Now, changing my class' won't mess up the rest of my code, because my classes are handling their responsibility, and the rest of my classes don't have to deal with them.
I hope all beginner programmers can read either this, or another article about this, because the Single Responsiblity Principle is extremely important to writing bug/error-free code, and will save you a lot of headaches by isolating what's causing problems, while still letting your classes work together.
On to Data:
Encapsulation is also fundamental, and it isn't something I'm going to go into length about, because considering almost every tutorial you will see uses it in the correct way, and in most books it is expressed at length. But, it is worth a mention. In fact, it's worth more than a mention. If you don't use the single responsibility principle, this is the next best thing. The idea behind encapsulation is:
Hide implementation details in a class from users of the class, exposing only a public interface
This goes hand-in-hand with the Single Responsibility Principle. You only want the users of your class to use your member functions to do what your classes intent, or responsibility, was. You don't want some other user using your classes member data to do something that the class has no intention to do. The most common way to go about this is to make the data members your class needs private and only use them in your classes member functions. This brings on get() and set() functions.
A get() function returns one of your classes data members.
A set() function changes the value of one of your classes data members.
Let's get this out of the way: Set functions are not object oriented. The only time set functions should be used is in cases where they are part of your classes responsibility. Get functions, on the other hand, are very important. Let's use the pong example from earlier. Imagine this:
The paddle class' responsibility is to update the data values. If it is gong to update the position it needs the Sprite and Image that the class is using. I include the Sprite and Image in the classes data members. Now, to draw the class in GameDraw I need to use a sprite. Instead of making an all new sprite or going through pointers, I just use a get() function. I say screen.draw(Paddle.GetPaddleSprite()). This is object oriented, because it allows the other class to perform it's responsibility, and allows my class too, while not making my class more fragile. This is the basics of encapsulation, but there's far more to it.
I would add more Principles, and I will later. I just have to go eat lunch. I hope this helped many a-new developer, and feel free to add your own principles, ideas, and corrections below !

First Terry Foundation scholars arrive at UTSA
By Cindy Brockwell
Development Assistant, Office of Student Affairs
(Aug. 25, 2006)--The first class of nine UTSA Terry scholars has arrived.
Terry Foundation Scholarships, a first for UTSA this semester, are awarded for a student's freshman year of college with up to $20,000 per student per year in funding to cover tuition, fees, books, on-campus room and board, and miscellaneous expenses. And, at the discretion of the foundation's board of directors, the scholarship may be renewed annually, up to four years.

The Terry Foundation, working with the UTSA Honors College, accepted applications and conducted interviews with prospective students during the spring semester.
Ann Eisenberg, associate dean of the Honors College, said, "Selecting our first class of Terry Scholars was an extraordinarily competitive process, but we're confident we have an inaugural class that will contribute a great deal to UTSA through their intellectual activities and leadership."
"The group includes two valedictorians, one salutatorian, and an all-state vocal performer," Eisenberg added. "All have been extremely active in extra-curricular activities and service, and their average SAT score is 1,255."Originally, the foundation hoped to select eight students; however, based on the qualifications of the finalists, nine students were selected for the UTSA Terry Foundation Scholars inaugural class.
"The Terry Foundation Scholarship program is one of the most distinguished programs of its kind in the country, and UTSA is honored to be a recipient," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "As UTSA moves toward tier-one research university status, it is inspiring to know that this group of tier-one students selected UTSA as their university of first choice, and we are grateful to the Terry Foundation for making that possible."
The Terry Foundation will continue to award scholarships to approximately eight UTSA freshmen annually with a goal of reaching 32 within the first four years of the program. Criteria for selection include academic excellence, leadership and financial need.
The nine freshmen selected for 2006-07 are:
- Fabiola Espinoza, Von Ormy, biology/pre-dental
- Justin Griffith, San Antonio, infrastructure assurance, Honors College
- Katherine Hanna Hankins, Corpus Christi, biology/pre-dental, Honors College
- Christopher Huynh, Round Rock, biology/pre-dental, Honors College
- Michelle Lange, La Coste, music/composition, Honors College
- Laura Sewell, San Antonio, architecture
- Sable Sutton, Gonzales, biology, Honors College
- Lindsey Weigel, Spring, biology, Honors College
- Nicole White, Kingwood, psychology, Honors College
UTSA was selected as a Terry Scholars campus last October. UTSA joins the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, the University of Houston and Texas State University-San Marcos in hosting the largest private scholarship program in the state.
The Houston-based Terry Foundation was created in 1986 by Howard L. Terry, a successful businessman in banking, construction, real estate and energy; and his wife, Nancy M. Terry. The program's goal is to make a lasting contribution to higher education in Texas. Rather than endow faculty chairs or fund buildings, the Terrys focus their philanthropy on supporting students who attend public colleges and universities.
To date, the Terry Scholarship Program has assisted more than 1,300 Texas college students. The foundation, chartered to exist in perpetuity, is funded by a $100 million endowment, and the scholarship program is designed to provide an increasing number of awards each year.

Shoppers beware: swiping credit card could cost you more money
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Shoppers beware: if you choose to swipe your credit card, it could cost you more money. Two major credit card companies are now allowing businesses to charge an additional fee on-top of your purchase price. It's being called a swipe fee or checkout fee.
News 5 talked with a local business and found out, they are still undecided about whether these changes could help or hurt business.
When you pay with plastic, stores pay as well. In fact, at Simply Delicious in Bristol, Tennessee each swipe of a credit card costs the business about 10-cents. "I would say about 60% of the total gross sales are credit cards," said owner Larry Slipek.
But things could be changing because of a settlement in an anti-trust suit by retailers. Stores that accept Visa or Mastercard credit cards are now allowed to add between 1-3% on top of the purchase price. It essentially helps pay for the cost of processing the transaction. However, this surcharge does not apply to debit cards.
Slipek says while 1-3% doesn't sound like much, it could help his bottom-line, "If you elect to put that service charge on the credit cards, it'll help you. You'll be able to recoup some of the losses. Let's face it maybe you can hire somebody else with that money or lower your prices."
But there are concerns the fees could upset customers and some might not be willing to pay. "When a customer comes in we've got a 9.25% tax, that's almost 10% of their bill and then you're going to add another 3% on," added Slipek.
Some customers say a change that small will be hard to notice. "It would be different if it was 20%. But, I don't think it will make me not use my credit card," said customer Diana Mattison.
While others, like Rufus Morison, are left asking one big question, "Why should I be paying the cost of someone's business?"
Here are some more facts on credit card surcharges: It is outlawed in 10 states California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Depending on the type of credit card, surcharges can be higher.
We've learned these changes are preliminary, the final decision by the court should be made later this year.

Cardioversion procedures are usually scheduled in advance, although if your symptoms are severe, you may need to have cardioversion in an emergency setting.
You generally can't eat or drink anything for 12 hours before the procedure. Your doctor will tell you whether you should take any of your regular medications before the procedure. If you do take medications before the procedure, sip only enough water to swallow your pills.
Before cardioversion, you may have a procedure called a transesophageal echocardiogram to check for blood clots in your heart, which can be dislodged by cardioversion, causing life-threatening complications. Your cardiologist will decide if you need a transesophageal echocardiogram before cardioversion.
In a transesophageal echocardiogram, your throat is numbed and a flexible tube (catheter) with a transducer attached is guided down your throat and into your esophagus, which connects your mouth to your stomach. From there, the transducer can obtain more-detailed images of your heart so that your doctor can check for blood clots.
If your doctor finds blood clots, your cardioversion procedure will be delayed for a few weeks while you take blood-thinning medications to reduce your risk of complications.

text: I bought a 87 burb a year or so ago. I'm not mechanical inclined, but because these trucks are older and no frills I thought it easier to maintain than something with tons of electronics and computers in it. My main concern at the moment is the brakes. They have been "upgraded" to disc at all wheels. The braking is soft and the pedal is spongie. A mechanic friend of mine said the stock brake booster is not sending enough pressure to the rear discs and most of the stopping comes from the front brakes. I've been searching the net for the proper parts, but I'm not certain what actually fits or if any modification needs to be done to make something work properly. Somebody on a different forum i read said a vacuum pump corrected an issue with a 69 cougar he had. Do I need to go that route to solve my problem? Does anyone here have any experience and done this project themselves?

|Summary File 1 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Population Characteristics -> Household Type and Relationship -> Relationship to Householder -> Nonrelatives
Includes any household member who is not related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, including foster children. The following categories may be presented in more detailed tabulations:
Roomer, boarder
Includes roomers or boarders, who live in a room in the household of Person 1 (householder). Some sort of cash or noncash payment (e.g., chores) is usually made for their living accommodations.
Housemate or roommate
A person who is not related to the householder and who shares living quarters primarily to share expenses.
Unmarried partner
A person who is not related to the householder, who shares living quarters, and who has a close personal relationship with the householder.
Foster child
Foster children are people under 18 placed by the local government in a household to receive parental care. They may be living in the household for just a brief period or for several years. Foster children are nonrelatives of the householder. If the foster child is also related to the householder, the child should be classified as that specific relative.
Other nonrelatives
A person who is not related by birth, marriage, or adoption to the householder and who is not described by the categories given above. When relationship is not reported for an individual, it is imputed according to the responses for the age and sex for that person while maintaining consistency with responses for other individuals in the household.
|Excerpt from:
|Social Explorer, U.S. Census Bureau; 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Summary File 1: Technical Documentation, 2001.
|Summary File 1 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Population Characteristics -> Race -> American Indian or Alaska Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below.
American Indian
Includes people who indicated their race as "American Indian," entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish-American Indian.
American Indian tribe
Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997 Federal Register Notice, entitled "Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs," Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Alaska Native
Includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race.
