If you ever met Rita, you knew she was "tough Irish", a coffee "fiend", a "fresh air fanatic", and a lifelong Dodgers fan. You also probably fell in love with her and became her friend forever. Rita met Ellis Roy Prime and they married on September 14, 1942 in New York City. Soon after, Rita and Roy moved to Los Angeles, where they had three children, Robert Bruce, Mary Ann, and Patricia Kathryn.

She returned to Santa Clara University and was awarded a master's degree in pastoral counseling. She continued as a lay minister and pastoral counselor past 2000. She had boundless energy, a smile for everyone, and a truly caring spirit of uncommon joy and generosity.

Following college, Andy returned to Fresno to complete a 25 year career in commercial real estate, during which he made innumerable friends, supported community improvements, and was admired and respected by everyone who came in contact with him. Andy, together with his family, fought against his illness for over five years. Andy's incredible strength and will to live resulted in him becoming one of the longest living survivors of full brain radiation treatment. We may all take some solace in the fact that Andy's participation in numerous experimental cancer treatment programs may help to improve the chances for future patients to possibly survive this now incurable disease. During this time he also felt a strong calling to reach out to others in hope of helping them face their own personal challenges. Andy's great love of baseball continued to the very end and was exceeded only by his love for his family and Faith in God. The family would like to thank the staff for the great dedication and care Andy received at both the University of California San Francisco, the Helen Diller Family Cancer Center; and Hinds Hospice. He leaves behind a loving wife Monique; and his two devoted daughters, Meg and Tess. In addition to the young family he leaves behind, there is an extended and devoted family that will continue to morn his loss.

Florence Remata M.A. '92, a Franciscan sister and Kauai native, served decades as educator Sister Florence Remata, minister of the Hawaii-Southwest region of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities. She died on Aug. 3 at the Queen's Medical Center after a brief illness and 57 years of service to the Roman Catholic Church. She was 75. According to the Hawaii Catholic Herald, Remata was born in Waimea, Kauai, the sixth of 12 children of Crisanto and Vicente Omakanim Remata. She graduated from Saint Francis Convent School on Oahu and joined the Sisters of St. Francis in 1956. After taking her final vows in 1961, she chose St. Therese of Lisieux, "the Little Flower," as her patron saint in honor of her home parish of St. Theresa in Kekaha, Kauai, where "the sisters taught me how to use the fork to eat, how to dance, and all the social graces so that I wouldn't be a wallflower," she told the Catholic Herald in a 2011 interview. Remata graduated from Chaminade College in Honolulu and Santa Clara University. She taught at St. Peter School in Riverside, N.J.; St. Joseph School in Hilo, where she also was vice principal; and Our Lady of Good Counsel School in Pearl City. She was director of religious education at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Pearl City and at St. Patrick in Chittenango, N.Y. Remata returned to Kauai to care for her mother in 1995. For the next 17 years she served at Immaculate Conception Church in Lihue as director of religious education and as pastoral associate. She was also the island's liaison for the Catholic Diocese's Department of Religious Education. The Catholic Herald said she was the first and last Franciscan sister to be assigned to Kauai. Remata told the Hawaii Catholic Herald at the time, "The people of Kauai are church-oriented and value priests and (the) religious." Some nicknamed her "The Mayor of Kauai" for her friendliness and outreach. Remata is survived by eight brothers: David, Edward, Alfredo and Richard Remata, all of Kauai; Stanley Remata of Pearl City; and Wilfred, Lawrence and Patrick Remata of California; and three sisters: Mildred Olores, Elizabeth Aquino and Vivian Nonaka, all of Kauai.

Fresno attorney Laura Guzman Magill J.D. '93 will be buried in a 1920s hand-beaded jacket and red boots designed by Bob Mackie that she bought off the Internet. Her coffin will be upholstered in teal leather to match the furniture in her living room. In addition to photographs of her life, mourners will see her collection of shoes and the dresses she made out of recycled material for Trashique, the annual Fresno Art Museum fundraiser. Mrs. Guzman Magill, whose love of fashion was secondary to her love of God and her desire to help the accused, died Dec. 27 after a long and unconventional battle with breast cancer. She was 48. Friends say Mrs. Guzman Magill was the brains behind the husband-wife criminal law firm that represented such clients as convicted rapist Spencer Scarber, the Buchanan High butt-drag wrestler who got expelled and the students who got kicked out of Central High for cutting down two trees. While Charles Magill made his pitch to school boards and juries, his wife sat at the defense table plotting strategies or writing her next motion on her laptop. And when a board or judge ruled against them, she wasn't shy about appealing."She marched to a different beat," Fresno defense attorney Michael Aed said. "She never let a client get convicted without a fight." Case in point: Scarber, who contended he didn't get a fair trial. In legal documents, Mrs. Guzman Magill and her husband accused Sheriff Margaret Mims of withholding evidence and revealed an old romantic relationship between Scarber's father, a former assistant chief of the California Highway Patrol, and Elizabeth Egan before she became Fresno County's district attorney. Aed said the legal community took note of Mrs. Guzman Magill's ability to find an obscure document that linked Mims to the case. Judge Edward Sarkisian Jr. upheld Scarber's conviction on Dec. 19. "You hear lawyers promise that they will turn over every stone," Aed said. But, "Laura was one of the few that really did it." With her death, Aed said, "we all lose, because who is going to take her place?"
Within months of their birth, Laura and her twin, Linda, were adopted by P. "Guz" Guzman Jr. and his wife, Paula, who owned National Hardware Supply on Blackstone Avenue in Pinedale. Mrs. Guzman Magill's love of law and fashion came from her mother, a Fresno State English professor, who encouraged her children to engage in public speaking and debate. She also taught them how to sew. "Laura loved colors and fabric, especially leather," Magill said, noting his wife made her own dresses, shirts, pants and jackets. "If she had her druthers, she would have been a fashion designer." But her Catholic upbringing and quest for social justice pulled her toward law, he said. After graduating from Bullard High School in 1983, Laura Guzman earned a political science degree from Pepperdine University and a law degree from Santa Clara University. She began her career in the Bay Area in 1995 before returning to Fresno two years later. She worked briefly for the Fresno County District Attorney's Office, but was let go. "She wasn't a company person," Magill said. "She wanted to do her own thing." In 2000 she married Magill. At the time, she had two daughters, Petra and Sierra, and he had two boys, Gary and Zechariah. Together, they have one son, Matthew. Magill said his wife had success as a trial lawyer: in 2000 she represented a defendant in the Mongolian Boys Society gang-rape trial. Seven people were convicted of rape in Fresno County Superior Court. Her client, Lao Yang, was found not guilty of 12 counts; the jury deadlocked on two rape counts. But it's the high-profile cases she and her husband lost that will seal her legacy, her husband said. Magill said his wife hated zero-tolerance school policies. "In her mind, there was nothing worse than children being persecuted by school officials," he said. In 2010, they represented five students who were expelled for a senior prank: they cut down two trees at the Central High School East Campus. Because the students had no prior history of being disobedient, Mrs. Guzman Magill got a court order to reinstate them, her husband said. And when school officials stopped them from entering campus, she called police. School officials countered with their own judge's order, and the case ended up in a long legal battle with the students ultimately getting expelled. Magill, however, said his wife didn't see it as a loss: "Central wanted to show they were tough, but Laura sent a message that they can't bully people around." The couple also lost the Buchanan butt-drag case. They defended wrestler Preston Hill, who was expelled in 2011 after being accused of sexually assaulting a teammate during practice. Magill said Hill was doing a wrestling maneuver called the butt-drag that coaches had taught him. In a 3-2 vote, the Fresno County Office of Education board upheld Clovis Unified School District's decision to expel Hill during his senior year. They then lost Hill's appeal in court. Because they had appealed, Hill's expulsion was temporarily stayed, giving Hill time to transfer to another school district. He received his high school diploma, Magill said. "That was all engineered by Laura," Magill said. In her spare time, Mrs. Guzman Magill was a mock trial coach at Central and Bullard and took kids to Christian camp. She also reached out to community groups, charging them nothing for legal advice. "She answered my emails and gave me advice for free," said Fresno activist Gloria Hernandez, who fights for the rights of farm laborers. She said other lawyers charged $250 an hour consultation fee. "Our community is going to miss her," Hernandez said.
Mrs. Guzman Magill's fight with breast cancer ended her life, but she didn't go without a fight. In a July 2011 "Valley Voices" column for The Bee, she wrote about her unconventional victory over Stage II-III breast cancer: "What a great year to be diagnosed with cancer." She said she wasn't trying be sarcastic or flippant; she wanted to tout an alternative method of fighting cancer: "cryoablated," which destroys the cancerous tumor by freezing it. She avoided the traditional method of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. "We are in the 21st century with 21st century technology," she wrote. "Ancient bloodletting, or chemotherapy and radiation, is just that: ancient." But in a follow-up column in August this year, Mrs. Guzman Magill said the cancer had returned "four short months" after the first column was published. She decided to undergo chemotherapy. In November, the cancer worsened and reached her liver, her husband said. But she didn't give up. She flew to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland, but doctors there said it was too late because the cancer had gotten into her bones, Magill said. Mrs. Guzman Magill made her last court appearance in the Scarber case. She was in a wheelchair and hooked up to oxygen. On Dec. 23 she was admitted to Community Regional Medical Center with blood clots in her lungs. The day after Christmas, Magill took his wife home to die among family. She will be buried in a private service Saturday at St. Peter's Cemetery in Fresno next to her father, who died in August at the age of 90. "The passion she had for everything she did was amazing," said stepson Zechariah Magill, 20. He then recalled getting in trouble at Central High, where he was senior class president. He had driven his father's car to school and campus police found a knife in it. School officials suspended him and threatened to expel him. "My stepmom came to school with a video camera and filmed them as as they searched my dad's car," Zechariah Magill said. "She then told them she would take them to court if they expelled me." In preparing for battle, Guzman Magill got into "Full-Metal Jacket" mode, her husband said. She got 10 people to write letters on Zechariah's behalf and presented them to school officials. The plan worked: Zechariah was able to graduate with his class and give his speech. "It was a great feeling," he said. "Like so many people she helped in court, I knew she had my back and I could count on her."
Born: May 10, 1965 Died: Dec. 27, 2013 Career: Fresno criminal defense lawyer Survivors: husband, Charles Magill; children, Gary, Zechariah, Petra, Sierra, and Matthew; mother, Paula Guzman; sisters, Lisa Guzman and Linda Guzman Ellenberger.

Trentemøller - Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go!!! (new single and remixes!)
When it comes to Trentemøller, my writings, rantings and ravings are that one horse I like to beat into the ground. And while no, I do not condone animal cruelty, yes my incessant pleas of insistence in making you listen to his latest album, Into the Great Wide Yonder, would more than likely fell a foal or two. With a new single on the horizon, it's time to make a trip to glue factory again. Are you picking up on all these metaphors and puns? It's just...gosh...that's how much I dig this dude and his tunes.
After the profound effect that his previous single, ...Even Though You're With Another Girl, had on me, it's high time for the third official output off his sophomore album to see a proper release, and it's a doozy of a ditty. Whereas the last single had such deep emotional ties, Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go!!! is pure driving stealth tones that feel ripped from the pages of Miserlou and brought to life in a modern day musical moment.
The single will be out [soon], and will include remixes from Andrew Weatherall Prinz, Lulu Rouges featuring Abdullah S, and from Trentemøller himself. Each is unique but speaks volumes on top of the original arrangement and I've had nothing on but these four pieces of the rad all day long.
More info on this release when it becomes readily available. In the meantime...

Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a rare hip disease. It affects children 2-12 years old. LCPD is a disorder of the top of the leg bone. The disorder interrupts blood flow to the hip. The loss of flow causes death of bone and impairs bone growth. Over time, it causes deformity as the bone breaks and reforms causing the child to limp. LCPD most often occurs in just one hip.
|Hip Joint
|Damage and repairs to the femoral head causes a limp.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause of LCPD is unknown. Infection, trauma, and inflammatory processes are possible causes.
Risk Factors
LCPD is more common in male and at ages 4-8 years. It is also more common in children with European, Asian, or Eskimo ancestry. Other factors that may increase your child's chance of developing LCPD include:
- Small or short for age
- Delayed maturity
- Athletic, active child
- Secondhand smoke exposure
- Blood clotting abnormalities
The primary symptom of LCPD is a limp when walking. This can occur in children 2-12 years old. It peaks in children 4-8 years old. Other symptoms may include:
- Hip pain
- Groin, thigh, or knee pain
- Reduced range of motion in the hip
- Shortening of the leg, or legs that are not the same length
- Muscle weakness in the upper thigh
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. During the exam, your child's hip will be examined to see how far it can move. The doctor may refer your child to a specialist. An orthopedist focuses on bones and joints.
Images may need to be taken of your child's bones. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include the following:
Physical Therapy
If your child's symptoms are mild, your doctor may prescribe physical therapy. A therapist will work with your child to maintain range of motion. You may be taught certain exercises to do with your child at home.
Medical Treatment
Medical treatment is used to improve healing and prevent further injury to the hip.
Medical treatment is used to improve healing and prevent further injury to the hip.
- It may include using crutches, traction, a brace, or cast.
- It is usually done before surgery is recommended for children less than 6 years old.
In some cases, your child may need surgery.
- The top of the thigh bone may be resurfaced with metal.
- Bone removal may be done to reposition or reshape the hip bone.
- Rarely, the hip will be replaced.
There are no known ways to prevent this rare disease.

Re: Wth traps?
I'm seriously starting to hate the reliability of this beta. Seriously, from match to match or even fight to fight you have no idea what's going to happen. I'm not just talking opponent skill but you push one button and 6 different things happen that's not even supposed to happen. kinda getting tired of it.
Re: Wth traps?
Oh, you mean things like:
Okay, he drippled me with that hammer, it always stops now. Nevermind I guess? He just kept hitting.
Why was he in the "Brutal Kill" pose for such a short time?
I'm not even kidding, the last 2 days I've ran into people that were in that pose for about .4 seconds- not even a full second.
I get what you're saying in terms of inconsistency. It's bothering me also. Don't quit on me now though man! I wanna see you on the battlefield in March

Monterey County Association of Realtors representative Kevin Stone has a message for the state Public Utilities Commission. Actually, he has more than 150 of them.
That's how many letters Stone plans to deliver to the PUC today from property owners and others worried about what cutting off new and expanded water hookups will do to their property values and to the Peninsula's economy.
Stone and Jody Hansen, executive director of the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, plan to represent local interests at today's PUC meeting, when a proposed moratorium on water connections will be considered. The meeting is scheduled for 9a.m. at the PUC's San Francisco headquarters.
The proposed moratorium was requested by California American Water in response to an order issued by the state water board requiring a phased reduction in pumping from the Carmel River. The order included a moratorium that Cal Am said must be approved by the PUC.
If approved, the moratorium would put a halt to new and expanded water connections granted after Oct. 20, 2009, in much of Cal Am's Monterey district, with a few exceptions. It would essentially halt new development and expansion plans on the Peninsula, and would remain in place until a new permanent water source is approved by the state water board.
A proposed seawater desalination project backed by Cal Am, the Monterey County Water Resources Agency and the Marina Coast Water District is scheduled for completion in 2014, two years before the state order requires Cal Am to reach its annual legal pumping limit of 3,376 acre-feet of river water.
While the state order is being challenged in court by Cal Am, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, local cities and other interests, the courts have allowed the order to be implemented.
Stone said he will argue before the PUC that this is the worst time to hamper the local economy as it struggles to recover from the Great Recession. He said the moratorium will drive down property values, put a halt to new business and city redevelopment efforts, and result in the loss of much-needed property tax and sales tax revenue.
"Our main concern at this point is the economic impact on this area," Stone said.
Stone said he will ask the PUC to hold off on approving the moratorium while progress continues on the desalination project, noting that the community's conservation efforts have already kept it well below current limits set by the state order.
Darby Fuerst, general manager of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, said Cal Am used nearly 2,000 acre-feet less last year than it is entitled to this year under the state water board's limits.
"I think common sense needs to come into play here," Monterey Mayor Chuck Della Sala said. "The goal should be a balance between the river habitat and the economy."
Della Sala said the city has several key downtown redevelopment projects, including mixed-use plans for the Alvarado Street building that burned a few years ago, that would be scuttled by the moratorium.
Hansen said the Chamber of Commerce is seeing the impact of the moratorium before it has even been implemented, noting that the Carmel Crossroads shopping village has been unable to find a restaurant tenant for a 20,000-square-foot space because a new water connection may not be available.
Seaside Mayor Felix Bachofner said the city's redevelopment plans, including its West Broadway Urban Village infrastructure project, could be threatened. Bachofner said Seaside is in a unique position because it has the largest remaining water allocation of all the Peninsula cities, as well as the largest amount of "blighted" property.
Exceptions to the moratorium would include projects intended to benefit public health, safety and national security; the Pebble Beach Co.'s expansion proposals through the end of 2016; the Monterey Bay Shores Ecoresort proposed for Sand City; and the Bishop and Hidden Hills subdivisions and Ryan Ranch business park near Laguna Seca.
Under the proposed decision, Cal Am would be required to confer with the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District within 30 days on how best to serve public health and safety water needs under the state order and moratorium, and meet with the state water board within 45 days to establish a process to do so.

Now I'm working on adding decals to the system. Since decals are placed on top of solid geometry I disable depth writing and then render the decals using alpha blending. Here is where the problem starts:
During (3) I can smoothly alpha blend my decals on top of the solid geometry using ogl's blend function (ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, SRC_ALPHA). Decals blend in very well, BUT it uses the normals of the underlying surface. While this may be desired in some cases like graffiti on walls, it should sometimes use its own normals for lighting calculation. A simple example would be foot step marks on the ground.
What I'd like to do is to use alpha blending during (1), i.e. alpha blend solid geometry normals with my decal normals. The normal buffer layout is
ARGB8 with normal xyz in RGB and object's specular roughness in A. That means I need to blend all 4 channels. Since the alpha blend function uses the alpha channel for blending I can't blend normals and roughness at the same time. Actually I need some additional fragment value on which I can base the alpha blending.
Here's the code
#extension GL_ARB_draw_buffers : enable varying vec3 normal; varying vec4 position; uniform sampler2D texAlpha; void main()\n \ {\n \ // normal\n \ gl_FragData[0].rgb = normal * 0.5 + 0.5; //roughness gl_FragData[0].a = gl_FrontMaterial.shininess/128.; // the blend factor that I actually need for blending float blendFactor = texture2D(texAlpha, gl_TexCoord[0].st); gl_FragDepth = position.z/position.w; }
So basicall I'd like to use the blending function with the blend factor I defined in the code. Like ONE_MINUS_BLENDFACTOR_ALPHA. I know this doesn't exist but you get the idea. Is there any way to make this possible or workaround the problem?
Thanks for your help

Watch the cosmos evolve in a cube one billion light-years wide
Brian Hayes
Isaac Newton's universe was a cozy, tidy place. Gathered around the sun were six planets, a handful of moons and the occasional comet, all moving against a backdrop of stationary stars. Newton provided us with the mathematical tools needed to compute the motions of these bodies. Given initial positions and velocities, we can calculate the forces acting on each object, using Newton's law of universal gravitation. From the forces we can determine accelerations, and then update the positions and velocities for the next round of calculations. This scheme of computation is known as the n-body method. Perhaps Newton himself could have put it to work if he had had suitable computing machinery.
Today we have the computers. On the other hand, our universe is far larger and more intricate than Newton's. Now the solar system is merely a speck in a spiral galaxy of several hundred billion stars. Our galaxy drifts among billions of others, which form clusters and superclusters and a whole hierarchy of structures extending as far as the eye (and the telescope) can see. Those objects are getting farther away all the time because the universe is expanding, and moreover the expansion is accelerating. Strangest of all, the luminous matter of the galaxies—everything we see shining in the night sky—makes up less than one-half of 1 percent of what's out there. Most of the universe is unseen and unidentified stuff known only as "dark matter" and "dark energy."
Given this profound change in the nature and the scale of the known universe, I find it remarkable that computer simulations of cosmic evolution can still rely on n-body algorithms rooted in the principles of Newtonian mechanics. The same techniques that predict planetary motions here at home in the solar system also describe the gravitational process that assembles thousands of galaxies into filaments a hundred million light-years long.
A major new series of cosmological simulations is now beginning to release its findings. The project, known as Bolshoi, is led by Anatoly Klypin of New Mexico State University and Joel Primack of the University of California, Santa Cruz. "Bolshoi" is Russian for "big" or "grand," and the name is apt: This is a large-scale computational project, consuming six million CPU hours and producing a hundred terabytes of data. And yet, when you ponder the vast sweep of space and time being modeled, it seems a marvel that so much universe can be squeezed into such a small box.

Strong Artistic Views
Original post made by John Barry, Danville, on Oct 26, 2010
San Ramon artist Kevin Davidson (whom I profiled in a past column) recently acted on a whim. He decided to contact the Vatican to determine how to submit his spiritual paintings for review. But how do you get in touch with the seat of Roman Catholicism to have your paintings reviewed?
"I sent a message to the only e-mail address I could find, and by—I can only call it a miracle—my JPG files and bio reached the curator and director's desk of the Vatican Museums in Rome."
Davidson says they were fascinated by his "Jonah in the Whale" work (pictured), and—in another miracle—said that the Vatican would ideally like to accept it or two other pieces for the museums' collection. However, there was a problem.
The director of the Vatican Museums ("in charge of the Sistine Chapel!") e-mailed Davidson, indicating he liked all the work. But the museums' customary policy is not to accept works by LIVING ARTISTS (emphasis Davidson's). "Basically, it was not the right time for them to have my work. However, I told the director that one of my pieces would eventually end up at the Vatican . . . someday," Davidson recalls.
Davidson's response was to thank the director very much, adding that "if their policy loosens up or they need a commissioned piece, they should contact me. Otherwise, I'll have the owner donate the piece as soon as I'm dead."
Davidson sees his Vatican adventure as emblematic of the life of artists: "As soon as we're dead, we will be displayed at the Vatican and other museums." Kidding aside, Davidson notes that he is honored and humbled that his work was even viewed by the Vatican Museums hierarchy. "This is an honor few living artists receive, and I was not expecting it to happen," he says.
But this story doesn't end there. Davidson has also sent work to The National Museum of Catholic Art and History in Harlem and the Museum of Contemporary Art at St. Louis University. The NMCA has expressed interest in exhibiting Davidson's painting "Pieta" in a show in Madrid, Spain, next year, to be viewed by the Pope.
As an aside, Davidson expresses some strong views about the current state of art. "To me, art history may call this period the Dark Ages of art, a time when art meant little more than its lowest common denominator: pretty pictures. There appears to be a lack of deeper spiritual meaning behind lots of work today . . . think paintings that are pleasing to the eye and nothing else.
"Look no farther than some of the galleries in the surrounding area. Most gallery owners and art organizations don't want religious or complex art that actually makes you think. In fact, they specifically stay away from such work. However, I think they've significantly underestimated the members of the viewing public and their interests."
He continues: "I think, because technology has bullied its way into our lives, people will begin looking for something sacred in their art, beyond paintings of Mt. Diablo and vineyards. I guarantee there will be a renaissance of art in the near future."
Anyone interested in viewing Davidson's proto-Renaissance art may contact him at 925-818-4720 or e-mail Davidson at firstname.lastname@example.com to view his studio and works.

We saw his Jonah in the Link 2 fine art gallery in Danville and Kevin took the time and explain his reasons for painting him this way. It was great insight in to the mind of an artist. We loved the piece.

Bravo! What the Vatican does not know is that it is a miricle that Kevin lived to paint Jonah, or paint at all. Kevin was hit by a car on his bike just a year or so ago. Injuring his dominate arm. He is a business man, father and husband; responsibilities he meets with great passion. Yet he makes time to be a serious artists.
Great news Kev.

Congratulations Kevin! You took a great risk at outright rejection and the reward was consideration. You have exposed one aspect of the dark underbelly of the art world, the huge double message that our community delivers to professional artists who don't paint pretty landscapes and still lifes.
My experience of critics is that they display the greatest arrogance when they have no idea they are being the most offensive to others. The double message of the Vatican is that they acknowledge and collect some of the best art in the world, but won't show it until the artist is dead, and probably not even then. The Vatican, like most other communities, only exhibits work that reflects their narrow perception of "community standards."
People say they have respect for and value art and artists, but they expect that artists donate their artwork to various fundraisers for all kinds of good causes without compensation of any kind. All the time, artists are asked to exhibit their work in all kinds of businesses without compensation (like rental.) This common attitude that art is for free, and that disrespect of artists who think and work outside of the box is why most artists I know feel that they don't have any choice when it comes to exhibiting their work to have a chance at sales.
The Dark Ages of Art are upon us, indeed. Our Town Council thinks that decoration for trash bins and fountains is public art. They also believe that they have a perfect right to censorship of art in their new public "Peanut Art" gallery. They constantly talk about how they support the arts and how they want art to flourish, but it is only art that meets their definition of "community standards" and is their idea. This definition excludes a great deal of work by professional artists. It is a huge social disconnect and double message. Public support of the arts, where it exists at all, is relegated to the lowest common denominator -- it is pretty, nice and looks great on a coffee mug.
Happily, private and corporate support of art and artists exists, but the need is much greater, especially during economic recessions and depressions . Most artists, when they cannot find representation with the diminishing number of private galleries and agents, are forced to trade their wares in the streets, sidewalks and parks, paying fees and commissions for the "privilege."
Kevin is right to look far from the community where he lives in order to support his professional artistic aspirations and beliefs. Kevin, I wish you great success. Your work inspires me.

Thanks for the comments on this subject.
There has been 1 gallery in Danville which accepted the piece with open arms...Link2FineArt (link2fineart.com). Stephen (gallery director) has an eclectic group of artists in the gallery.
The other galleries in the area specifically look for a certain type of art. This is not speculation, its their policy. They've essentially determined that the public will only eat pretty and to not even give them an opportunity for anything else.
This is why there are lines at Museums and at the Vatican. The art is sacred and unique in these venues. I've NEVER seen a line wrapped around Hartz Avenue to enter the Gallery there.

"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Dezz's point is that he had the opportunity to be a stud RB or something with a fraction of the carries Jacobs and Bradshaw had or something, and that he failed miserably.
When it comes to 2012, when the team was faced with the decision....sorry Ware, youre the odd man out. I get it. I really do. But to say that he had his chances to shine, and didnt....well I'm sorry, there's just no sample size to support that claim. it's pretty naive if you ask me.
Why is it that people were so patient with Sinorice Moss for some inexplicable reason, but if someone makes the claim that Ware could have been good, but we'd never know.....that person is making stuff up?? lol

Girl 1: Can we stop at McDonald's on the way to your place?
Girl 2: What? No way, fat a**. You just ate a slice of pizza at lunch.
Girl 1: Yeah, ONE slice!!
Girl 2: Well I only ate half a slice so you ate twice as much as me. That means you're twice the fat a**. No McDonald's.
Guy 1: So this vampire has been locked in a coffin and buried underground for 200 years. 200 YEARS!!! And yet, when he gets out, he has all this compassion and respect for his family. Can you believe that? 200 years in a coffin and he still knows how to feel compassion and show respect. Meanwhile you got kids today that don't even know what respect means. How can a guy trapped in a box for 200 years still understand respect when people not trapped still don't get it?
Guy 2: Sounds like he's old school.
*Oddly enough, most of these amazing conversations occur on public transportation.

Re: Can you give me any top tips on getting started as a chef?
To Mr. Oliver and all aspiring chefs,
Hi, my name is Ben and currently I am 15 years of age. I simply love to cook and food is one of my main passions in life. I love going to food markets and looking at the vast array of quality produce in front of me. I particularly enjoy experimenting with new flavors and ideas and love to create my own dishes.
Hence, my interest in a career as a chef evolved. So I proceeded to e-mail work experience applications to many of the top restaurants in Sydney. To my surprise, I received 2 responses to which I acted upon. After working for a week in each I discovered just how dam hard it is to work as a chef. It is a completely different ball game to cooking at home.
My advice to all is simple. Don't make my mistake and allow yourself to become infatuated with the idea of becoming a chef, or becoming the next Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay. Firstly, find yourself some work experience in a commercial kitchen and discover for yourself whether a career as a chef is the right choice for you.
Even though I would not like to become a chef, food is still a major passion in my life. Furthermore, please do not allow my advice to discourage, but to inform you of my experiences.
Good luck

Re: Can you give me any top tips on getting started as a chef?
Hey guys,
This is my firat post in the forums. Jamie is absoloutly right with the age thing. I started chefing 4 years ago and am now 30 !!! Chef De Partie in Itchycoo (radisson SAS) Edinburgh under Christer Larsson, who is a very well known and criticaly acclaimed chef from New York.
I have been VERY lucky and have worked Very hard to get to where I am now and am loving EVERY minute of it.
Jamie if you read this m8, I was in touch with Peter Begg about a position in 15 and would like to extend my best wishes to him and thank him for all his kind words and direction.
Who knows.......maybe one day you'll open that bloody restaraunt in Edinburgh and gimmie a job !!!
Anyways, keep up the good work m8 and any questions from anyone on becoming a chef, I'll try to answer.

Re: Can you give me any top tips on getting started as a chef?
My suggestion would be to hit college. Do NVQ's 1,2 & 3, then look for a career in chefing. Do NOT lower yourself to anything less than a 4 star hotel or 1 rossette restaraunt !!!
It will be VERY VERY hard going, but WELL worth it.
Stick to one place for at least 1 year before moving on.
Get as many different styles and places under your belt as you can, but write EVERYTHING down.
Timings, ingredients, suppliers, costings, hygeine laws, knife techniques.......EVERYTHING !!!!!!
When you get home, do a diary. This way you will remember a LOT more and move up faster.
once you have some experience and your NVQ's, ask oor Jamie for a placement.
All the best and remember, if they aint shouting at you, you're doing it right !!!!!

Re: Can you give me any top tips on getting started as a chef?
Regarding your above post, I've posted my predicament on the page prior to this one in the forum and I was kind of wondering what your take on it is.
Basically, I like cooking commerically a lot, which is where all my experience comes from as I've been at it since ten or so. Anyways somehow in all of that I never managed to train under a proper chef and have never learned a lot of basic elements of proper cooking, just enough to know they exist more or less.
Currently I'm a mechanic but I'd like to go back to cooking for a while - I just would rather avoid spending another few years in vocational school needlessly.

What is in this article?:
- Design of a Specialized Airborne-Infection-Isolation Suite
- SCSU Design Features
- Room Control Sequences
- Methodology
- Conclusions
The National Institutes of Health's Special Clinical Studies Unit is a highly specialized biocontainment patient-care unit. This article discusses its design criteria.
A biocontainment patient-care unit (BPCU) is a facility designed and operated to maximize patient care with appropriate infection-control practices and procedures. A BPCU is secure, is physically separated from other patient-care areas, and has special air-handling systems.1
The National Institutes of Health's new Special Clinical Studies Unit (SCSU) in Bethesda, Md., is a highly specialized BPCU, housing patients with extremely infectious diseases transmissible by respiratory aerosolization, direct contact with primary body fluids, or dried infectious particles from body fluids. The SCSU has three patient rooms plus an occupational-exposure isolation room (OEIR). It is equipped to meet all clinical-care needs, including basic medical observation, minor surgical procedures, and intensive care. Thus, planning had to address housekeeping, security, emergency evacuation, and the use of experimental therapeutics.
This article will discuss design criteria used for the SCSU, which can be applied for any other type of airborne-infection-isolation suite (AIIS).
General Design Features
The SCSU receives air via the main clinical supply-air system, which is served by air-handling units located in another part of the building. This is a manifolded system providing supply air to all patient rooms and support spaces (Figure 1).
All clinical spaces are served by a non-recirculating (100-percent exhaust) HVAC system. All general clinical spaces, as well as the adjacent Vaccine Evaluation Clinic (VEC), are served by general exhaust systems consisting of multiple exhaust fans connected to a common exhaust-air manifold. Dedicated isolation-room exhaust systems consist of multiple exhaust fans connected to a common exhaust-air manifold. If one fan fails, the remaining fans compensate to provide the required design exhaust-air quantity.
The VEC is exhausted through the general clinical exhaust system, while the SCSU is exhausted through a dedicated system. Exhaust air from all SCSU spaces, including the OEIR, is manifolded in the dedicated exhaust system.
The dedicated system is equipped with high-efficiency-particulate-air (HEPA) filters prior to exhaust fans and discharges outside (Figure 2).
At both entrances to the SCSU are vestibules maintained at negative pressure relative to the adjoining corridors. The OEIR has an anteroom maintained at negative pressure relative to the rest of the SCSU to mitigate the risk of release of an airborne agent. The negative pressure of the patient rooms, the OEIR, and the SCSU is monitored and alarmed at the nurses' station.

Sweet Hungarian paprika gives this creamy braised chicken the best flavor. This is a good "pantry dish" since you should have the basics on hand and only need to purchase the chicken. You may vary the recipe by using cubed veal shoulder instead of chicken and mushrooms instead of peppers. Serve with whole-wheat orzo flavored with minced parsley or dill.

Step 1
Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil and butter in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft and light brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in bell peppers, tomato paste, paprika and crushed red pepper. Add the chicken and stir it gently into the onion mixture. Sprinkle with marjoram and add broth. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken is very tender, about 50 minutes.
Step 4
Just before the chicken is done, whisk sour cream, flour and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
When the chicken is done, remove it to a plate. Stir the sour cream mixture into the sauce; return to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce coats the spoon. Reduce heat to low, return the chicken to the sauce and reheat, about 1 minute. Serve garnished with parsley, dill and/or chives, if desired.

Serum Fe
This test measures the level of iron in your blood.
Iron is an essential trace element in your blood. It helps your body make healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout your bloodstream.
Having too little or too much iron can lead to health problems. Too little iron in your body can cause a condition called anemia. When this happens, your blood doesn't have enough iron to make the number of red blood cells needed to provide the amount of oxygen your body needs.
Iron-deficiency anemia is most often caused by blood loss, such as after an injury or surgery, or because of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Too much iron can be caused by hemochromatosis. This is a genetic condition that causes your blood to absorb too much iron.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects that you have too much or too little iron in your blood. Common symptoms of anemia include:
Trouble exercising because of shortness of breath
Less common symptoms of anemia are brittle nails, restless leg syndrome, and a sore tongue.
Signs and symptoms of too much iron include liver problems, weakness, fatigue, darkening of the skin, and joint pain.
Your doctor may also order a total iron binding capacity test to measure the level of transferrin in your blood. Transferrin is a protein that carries iron from your digestive system to the cells in your body that need it.
Your doctor may also measure your level of ferritin, another protein that helps store iron in your body. He or she may also order a complete blood count, or CBC, to get the full picture of the parts of your blood.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Results are given in micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL). Normal ranges of iron in the blood are 60 to 170 mcg/dL.
If your results are lower, it means you may have iron-deficiency anemia. Your doctor will confirm this with other tests.
If your results are higher, it means you may have hemochromatosis.
Too much iron in the blood can also be from taking too many iron supplements or iron-enriched multivitamins.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Other factors aren't likely to affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

The Sunshine State is known for its festive spirit, but no town more so than Celebration, where family-friendly fun reigns supreme. Just minutes from the massive parks of neighboring Orlando, this planned community features an early 20-century architectural style with candy-colored homes and businesses sprinkled throughout its palm-lined streets. Downtown—known as Celebration Town Center—houses multiple boutiques and restaurants, where special activities are organized year-round.
The Digs

Those eager to stay a bit closer to home can enjoy tennis, biking, or swimming in one of the multiple pools—one of which boasts a two-story waterslide.
"Mystic Dunes is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to the friendly staff, I enjoyed the comfort of the rooms—especially the full-size Jacuzzi tub and big-screen TV."-- TripAdvisor

Also know as "Trail-Blazing" or "Rasta-Rambling", with origins in the North East United States, Blaze4Blaze is a game played while hiking that involves taking a puff of a marijuana cigarette every time someone spots a trail marker, know as a blaze. The goal of the game is to see how far you can get on a given trail before you pass out or give up for want of snack foods.
Steve and I went Blaze4Blaze on a section of the AT this weekend. I won the game after about 3/4 of a mile.
