Thanks Pleasanton PD
Original post made by Pro Law, Highland Oaks, on Jun 10, 2007
If you enjoy the quality of life in Pleasanton, why not take a moment of your time to mail or even e-mail the Pleasanton PD in general, or maybe a certain officer - simply to say thanks.
Our officers and other Pleasanton PD employees deserve to hear feedback on the great job they are doing. It is a 24 hour, 7 day a week job I know many of us are not willing nor capable of doing.

you know i haven't really ever heard any possitives, from people that were born and raised in this city. considering it is those people who truelly consider this their town, their concerns should be noted. which doesn't really happen. i've called the police a few times for situations in my complex. and nothing happends. but if someone is outside of a bar having a cigerette, they can end up with a drunk in public. what is that. the same officers giving us the DARE catalog of drugs, that are hitting on and dating their former students, are the ones so quick to put someone in the drunk tank. my dare officer i know from personally experience, to be very difficult. he arrested me one time for walking from el blazo from door to my cab, for what trying to be responsible and not drive drunk. or is it to pick on a personal vendetta. i guess only he knows. but as i went to court the case was mysteriously dropped, why because there was no wrong-doing on my end but on his. i spent the 24 hrs in custody freezing, with no bed no food. but i definate sour taste for him and ppd. this guy and alot of them are a joke. don't people need to do something wrong to go to jail. i thought so but it seems, drunk in public can happen anywhere with no tests or anything, i asked him to give me a breathelizer, to show i only had a few and was probably under .08. but that didn't happen. go to a local bar on a friday or saturday, and you will see it happen almost every nite. worthless police services, and a waste of yours and my tax dollars.

I was asked if I wanted to press charges for an incident I was involved in. My response was "NO." A week later, I get a call from the PPD saying that the district attorney is dropping the case. I didn't understand why the incident was filed with the court when I had distinctly said I do not want to press charges. That's just another example of the PPD misusing its position of power.
Anyone ever notice cops going 50mph in a 35mph zone?

Can someone tell me,What is the diff- between an old world Carniolan & a new world Carniolan.>>>>Mark
Can someone tell me,What is the diff- between an old world Carniolan & a new world Carniolan.>>>>Mark
No clue. Maybe a new world carnolian is from the new Yugoslavia? You know, since it was reformed.. Really, all kidding aside, I have no clue whatsoever.
The bee which is commonly referred to as carnolian is Apis Mellifera Carnica. As a reference, the common italian bee is Apis Mellifera Ligustica. The Ligustica bee originally occurred in a fairly small area---Italy. Carnica originates from a larger geographic area just to the east of Italy.
The New World Carnolian is a result of a breeding program of Carnica stock. It was undertaken by Sue Cobey who is now at Ohio State. Its purpose was to select carnolians for tracheal mite resistance and it has been quite successful......so NWC's are just Carnica that have and continue to experience specific selection pressure. Tracheal mite resistance isnt that hard to come by but it takes constant vigilance to maintain in a stock. I believe that Sue has been spending some time in recent years looking for NWC's that might also have varroa resistance. And Pat Heitkam has done alot of work taking NWC's and successfully selecting for HYG.
Sometimes you hear Old World come up referencing carnolians that arent in the breeding program and sometimes I have heard it in reference to those who might have stock from which the New World stock was originated.

Super, passt!
Ich habe mein Garmin Zumo 660 in Verbindung mit einer abschliessbaren Touratech Halterung damit montiert. Bei untertouriger Drehzahl "wacket" die Konstruktion, bei angepasster Drehzaht alles I.O.!
Quick-Lock bräuchte ich eigentlich nicht.
Super Teil zum guten Preis

Because this seems to be a topic that has several people hitting the panic button, here is how to pee while wearing your wedding dress:
On arrival at your venue
- Open the door of the ladies' room and look in. If the floor is not clean, call the venue staff and ask to have it cleaned.
- If the floor is clean, walk into the ladies' room and open the door of the handicapped stall. If the floor of the handicapped stall is not clean, call the venue staff and ask to have it cleaned.
This ensures that you will not later get the train/back of the dress dirty just by having it touch the floor.
When you need to go
- Walk into the handicapped stall. Remove (don't just pull down) your underpants.
- Facing the toilet, pull up the front of your dress to your waist.
- Walk straight forward, so you are straddling the toilet, and sit down that way. The train/back of your dress will now be away from the toilet, so you won't get them wet or dirty.
- Lean forward before peeing. That way, even if you drop the front of the dress onto the seat, you will not pee in its direction.
Special tips for hoop skirts/crinolines
- When lifting your skirt, make sure that you grab all of the hoops together. this can be done by reaching under the bottom flounce and pulling straight up. If you are wearing an under-petticoat, don't forget to grab it too. This can be, and has been, a very bad thing to forget.
- Once you have a good handle on the hoops, swing the whole thing to the rear, as if you are preparing to hula-hoop with your dress. This will move the whole contraption behind you and out of the 'danger zone'. It will also slightly lift a shorter train off the floor which is a plus.
- When you are done, drop the hoop straight to the floor and give a little circular hip-shimmy. This will help you to get your dress hem back over the bottom hoop. It is always a good idea to have a friend do a 360 of the hem to make sure nothing is showing that shouldn't be.
And in case no one has told you this yet, never ever under any circumstances step straight backward while in a hoop. You will step on it, and you will fall over, and this will give a free show to anyone standing in front of you. Not directly related, but one of the top tips for wearing a hoop.
You may now resume your panic about all the other topics for your wedding day.

Great wheels I've been running excel for years tough wheels and look great.
Perfect style, strength, and ease of installation
One weekend on these new rims and so far so good. Would recommend to others.
Nice and strong rim. Looks great too!
Good quality rim. Very durable. Looks great.
best wheels on the market today
When I order rims I always get Excel. This rim is great. Fits with stock hub, spoke, and nipples. Only issue is that the Gold lettering washes off almost on the first cleaning. So far so good!
Best rim on the market
Best rims ever
Got the black Excells for my CRF 450R. Only thing I did not like is the Excell logo on the wheels started flaking off after the first wash.
Rims are nice and make a huge improvement of the look of bike when compared to stock silver wheels. Very happy with purchase. Only down side is paint chipping from roost on black rims and yellow lettering wearing off. Though it's minor and still holds up well
I bouhgt this rim on Jan, because the original rim crack on the welded area, this rim is light and tough, it held a lot of abuse so far w/out any sign of break up.
excel rim. great price. bent the stock rim and replaced it with this on my ktm
Great rims, front and rear. Nice fit and finish. Look awesome.
Always pleased when a seller has the item I need.
MotoSport comes through with flying colors! They had the rim Ineeded for my trusty Ktm. Thanks.
After denting the stock rim, I broke down and bought black Excel rims to fix my wobbling problem from bent rims. The rims look great, are super strong, and have yet to bend or dent. If you plan on taking apart an old rim I would suggest that you order new spokes and nipples. I tore up like 11 nipples, and turns out you cant get just nipples at the local dealer. None the less, great product, just plan ahead.
really goo drim the only problem is that it scratched REALLY easy but other then that best rim
I had to ride 17 miles on a flat to finish a race, cracked the last one at the weld, not the fault of the rim. (cheeper then the KTM replacment).

<p>Sex and music go together hand in hand. So naturally, sexy music videos abound. </p>
The music industry has always been a business with a certain sexual allure: from the days of piano bar sirens to Stevie Nicks and Nico on through to Madonna, something about a woman who can sing has always set our hearts aflutter…
Madonna might have signaled the changing of the guard. Her meteoric rise ran parallel to another game-changer, MTV, and that set in motion a seismic shift for the music industry. It was no longer just about music; it transformed, almost overnight, into a visual medium, which we all know killed the radio star.
Once MTV took hold of the pop charts, the sexual energy that had always been an undercurrent for the industry became tangible. For a female artist to really succeed she had to be both vocally talented and sexually attractive (exceptions do abound; Courtney Love was neither but had her own shtick going, the whole heroin chic bit). Then she didn't even have to be vocally talented; how many "artists" have been trotted out, told to act pretty and turned that into a successful "music" career (we're looking at you, Pussycat Dolls)? In the end she didn't even have to be a woman; artists like 50 Cent, Robin Thicke and Chris Isaak have all cemented their status as superstars in the biz by building gratuitous sex into their sound.
Just think back to the early oughts: Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera. They certainly started this trend a-rollin' and gave birth to the next generation of Mileys, Selenas and Carlys, girls with reasonable talent but who probably couldn't live on radio alone.
Ah, but we seem to be babbling and you came here for sexy videos, right? So be it…

90% of computers controlled by one company?
Microsoft controls 90% of desktop computers around the world. This figure is astonishing and should alarm everyone. How can one company be so dominant? If you look at computers you can see that almost everyone is running Windows. It comes pre-installed on desktops, laptops, netbooks and gadgets. A monopoly destroys competition and stifles innovation. This results in poor products for consumers and higher prices. Bill Gates is one of the richest man in the world and it is amazing to see that his company is able to charge such ridiculous amount of money for his software. The problem is that majority of people are not aware that there are alternatives available. Mac OS and Linux are alternatives to Microsoft Windows.
Mac OS has been gaining market share. It has around 9% of the computer market. It is nice to see that someone else other than Microsoft is becoming wide spread. However, Mac is even a bigger monopoly than Windows. The reasoning behind this is that Mac not only creates its own operating system and software but also the hardware, whereas Windows runs on PCs but the hardware is from various different manufacturers. The rise of Mac computers is nice but also a little alarming. Mac computers are very expensive and the company owns the hardware and the software.
Linux is another great alternative to Windows and Mac OS. A lot of people have not heard about Linux. This is because Linux does not have a lot of money to advertise. Gnu/Linux is a free and amazing operating system. There isn't one specific company or individual who is in control of the whole project. It is developed by individuals, groups and companies. When you explain the concept of Gnu/Linux and that it is completely free, people usually do not believe it. They wonder if this is true or they are looking for some kind of catch. Gnu/Linux comes in variety of flavors. You can choose a free operating system that fits your needs the most. You can do almost anything you would on your Windows or Mac machine. There are thousands of free applications for you to install. If you are an amateur or a professional, Gnu/Linux is right for you.
Let's change the landscape of computing. Most of us can agree that one company controlling 90% of desktop computers world wide is not good for innovation, consumers and prices. Check out our website for a tons of information to get you started with Gnu/Linux. You will be impressed by how easy it is and how much functionality it has. There is an alternative to most of the software you are using today. And, the best thing is that majority of distributions of Gnu/Linux are absolutely free and will stay like that. So make the switch to Gnu/Linux and shake up the computer industry. It is a software revolution in the making.

Good work!ReplyDelete
We need a million more blogs like this one to raise
the awareness of this important issue.
I am a linux advocate who has been hurt by microsuck's monopoly, and I remain committed to furthering
Linux at every opportunity.
There are millions more like me..it's time to stand up! and be heard.
We should each take time to help someone learn Linux..one at a time!
The numbers are even more depressing. According to Apple' s own figures, they ship only 3% of the computers world wide. Only in wealthier nations does apple approach double digit market share. So MS actually more likely has about 96% of the worlds desktop market.ReplyDelete
We shouldn't be so concern about market share as we should about Linux SW quality.ReplyDelete
Netbooks have been a good opportunity for Linux to jump into the desktop market, or some part of it when MS released that crap called Vista (Windows Me 2.0?).
But instead of that, Linux missed the train with poor a crippled Linux distros (Xandros, Limpus, etc instead of Ubuntu/Fedora) and POOR graphics performance, especially 3D. Example: They bought me an eee 901 on late 2008, I switched to Ubuntu after a few weeks and now I wait for Intel/Xorg to deliver proper graphics drivers, at least with a similar performance to the ones in Windows XP... maybe I will have that late 2009 or early 2010...
Windows has a lot of INERTIA in their favour, they don't need Linux to help them with software performance regressions of bad distro choice.

In the current economic situation I don't know why many public institutions do not switch to Gnu/Linux, like the French Gendarmerie has done. It's free, it's better serving the people, because from their pockets come the money for public acquisitions and nonetheless people in these institutions have basic computing needs (office suite, email). Gnu/Linux on the desktop has known massive improvement in our decade and I think it is a matter of time before many schools will adopt it too. Perhaps people need to watch the Discovery series "The true story of the Internet" just to catch a glimpse of Microsoft's true nature :)ReplyDelete

I constantly read how many percent M$ has, then how many Apple has... come on, people! Is M$ the biggest problem? Why not sit down realxed and concentrate efforts on something more meaningful? I mean, is M$ so interesting? What will happen if you pay less attention to them?ReplyDelete
Everyone is free to use whatever they want. And it should be so, no matter what the reasons are. If people want to use Linux, they will use it - some people are simply not compatible with anything Unix-based.
Furthermore, do we Linux users need so much new community members? Why not try to force things? There are plenty of means to learn about Linux, even without promoting it and spamming in the Net, attacking different companies.
I have also told many young people about Linux, but very few have been interested. You won't make the world use the better platform, nor will you make everyone convert to one particular religion. Things will come to their place without needless effort. There are more serious problems in the community, one recent I can think of is here (for example) http://polishlinux.org/gnu/the-right-to-be-free/ so we'd all be better of working on some more important issues. Really.

Most of the Windows OS' used in the 3rd world countries are pirated. So out of 90% of the market that Microsoft controls 50% of is not really in its control.ReplyDelete
Plus China is enforcing its own Linux (Red Flag) Linux on its people. That would take another chunk out. Security interesting in a lot of countries are pushing the governments to its own Linux distro.
Piracy is Microsoft's #1 ally. In Spain (not 3rd world... yet, but we are trying hard to get a bit closer now) people almost believes Windows & Office are "for free" (=gratis).ReplyDelete
Enforcing anything into people (as in China) is ALWAYS A BAD IDEA!
Governments don't care about taxpayer's pockets, they just care about their next re-election. If we want them to save our money we have to make them see they'll be 'out of office' as soon as they rise our taxes and/or waste our money.

NRL rugby league starts this Thursday but two days out from the season kickoff there is still no guarantee they will be shown on Sky TV.
Sky and the NRL have gone down to the wire over a deal to screen NRL matches in New Zealand with hopes of a resolution today or tomorrow.
NRL is seeking a much bigger payment per season than the $14 million estimated last year. But Sky chief executive John Fellet says he is resisting anything that would hurt profits like the production costs for the Summer Olympics did.
Sky dominates New Zealand sports and pay television so has been presumed to have automatic access to big franchises like the NRL.
But Fellet said yesterday he was not clear whether there was another bidder for rights and this was the reason for the late resolution.
"We always work on the basis there are," he said.
After a one -year deal in 2012 Sky has been negotiating for five-year rights that would run concurrently with a five year deal for Australia's Fox Network and Channel Nine. That A$1 billion deal has led to higher prices for sports package consumers, said advertising commentator Martin Gillman.
Sky TV director of sport Richard Last said it was not the first time Sky sports rights negotiations had gone to the wire.
It had also happened with motor-sport rights.
Last said that advertisers had been kept informed the rights were not yet signed and sealed, and details of the season were not included on sport channel schedules.
Asked if demands for higher charges for rugby league rights might lead to Sky sharing delayed telecast rights with another free-to-air broadcaster to spread costs - such as TVNZ or TV3, Last said Sky would continue to have delayed telecasts on its own free channel Prime TV.

I've always liked the idea of there being some weight to the "nines," meaning: if you're a year, and you're going to perch yourself at the very edge of a decade, you'd better be ready to represent. We want to look at you and see something bursting wide open (like London Calling in 1979), or watch something lose its grip on significance (like New Order with Technique in 1989); we want to witness a divine birth (Paul's Boutique and 3 Feet High and Rising were both '89), or behold a harbinger of doom (Cher dropped Believe in '99). Of course, these sorts of expectations are purely editorial. It's not like record companies are consciously trying to sum up the decade with their '09 schedules. (Would Franz Ferdinand be dabbling with dub on Tonight: Franz Ferdinand if that were the case?)
It's getting a lot trickier for albums to successfully tell us much about our times. The not-very-useful short explanation is that we've "gone digital," but there are real ramifications that come from splitting our fundamental units (albums) into a dizzying swirl of particles (from singles to mash-ups to remix stems): we're left with a decade (perhaps the first one ever) that can be more clearly understood through sound bites than statements — where fragments trounce frames. Whether that's a bad thing depends on how much you look to your artists to lead the way; and a look ahead to '09's first batch of releases suggests that more artists are holding mirrors right now than lanterns.
Early 2009 promises to be a time of attempted resurgence for many — and some will have it easier than others. An understandable demand for quietus at the end of such a destabilizing decade will provide nice conditions for the arrival of The Crying Light, the first new full-length offering of ghostly cabaret from Antony and the Johnsons, due out on Secretly Canadian on January 20. It's a contemplative, beautiful batch of songs, dedicated to Antony Hegarty's "art parent," dancer Kazuo Ohno. The following week, whistling multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird will release his fifth album Noble Beast (Fat Possum). Last month, in an Opinion piece for The New York Times, Bird remarked, "If an artist is creative enough, it should be possible to make great art without resorting to self-immolation," but his songs regularly back up his addendum that he tends to "err on the side of discomfort." Beast will be a welcome arrival (in a grim time) for Bird's continually charming ability to whistle your heart into your throat, but also for the balance of clear-eyed ambition and wild uncertainty that its title hints at and that its songs enact so deftly.

on the music and career of my dad, the late Lalo Guerrero,
and the musical artists who emerged from East Los Angeles
from the 1960s to the 80s, who were part of what has become
known as the "Eastside Sound."
Brief Bio
Mark Guerrero began playing in rock & roll bands at age 12. He led the
popular East Los Angeles band Mark & the Escorts, who recorded two singles for
GNP Crescendo Records. Mark has also recorded as a solo artist for Ode Records (produced
by the legendary Lou Adler), Capitol Records, and with his group Tango, for A&M
Records. His songs have been recorded by artists such as Herb Alpert, Trini
Lopez, Chan Romero, and his father, Lalo Guerrero. Mark has performed on
stage with Redbone, Eric Burdon, El Chicano, Tierra, Lalo Guerrero, and many
others. As a Chicano and East L.A. music historian, Mark has written over
a hundred articles, hosts an internet radio show, been a guest on numerous
radio and television programs, consulted for museums, and lectured at
universities. See Mark's

Let's do another one of these things.
After the relative success of my Top Ten Ridley Scott Films a couple of weeks back, I feel ok enough with these to take another crack at them. This time up? A Top Ten with an even higher level of difficulty, the Top Ten Tom Cruise Movies.
Mr. Cruise has been in a number of high quality films over the years, this was an extremely difficult list to whittle down. There are a number of really excellent films that didn't make my cut… including some of his truly iconic roles.
Please keep in mind, these aren't necessarily ordered by his performances, this would be what I would consider an attempt to rank his best movies. Of course, there are a few films of his I havent seen, I think I have all the major bases covered though.
With those disclaimers out of the way, read on!!
The toughest choice of all for me actually, because whichever ones I didn't select wouldn't get represented on the list… In the end I had to go with Cruise's breakout role, Guido the killer pimp, and the iconic scene where Cruise slides across the floor in his fruit of the looms. It's actually Cruise's highest rated film on rotten tomatoes @ 98% (although reviews that pre-date the actual site skew high). Sometimes, you've just gotta make "Risky Business" your number 10.
9) Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)
The consummate action movie. Fast moving, slick and filled beginning to end with memorable set pieces. Cruise steps back into his role of Ethan Hunt after five years and doesn't miss a beat. Aided by incredible special effects work and a strong supporting cast, MI:4 is an adrenalin charged thrill ride. The sequence on the side of the Burj Khalifa is absolutely unforgettable. If this movie had a memorable villain it would be talked about as one of the greatest action movies ever.
Needing to resurrect his career after a string bizarre behavior incidents, scientology videos, and coming off horribly in an interview with Matt Lauer, Cruise donned the fat suit and gave us all Les Grossman. The foul-mouthed, volatile, hip-hop dancing Grossman reminded us that Cruise could be funny (and likeable). The movie itself is a hysterical comedy, thanks in large part to Cruise's sizeable contribution.
Cruise plays a sports agent who makes the mistake of thinking his company would want to do the right thing. Forced out on his own with only one client, Maguire has one chance to make it. Along the way, he finds romance with an ex coworker and her insufferably cute kid. With Cameron Crowe calling the shots and picking the tunes, you know you're in for an emotionally manipulative ride, but this one works, as evidenced by its five Oscar noms (and one win – Gooding Jr.)_____________________________________________________________________________
Directed by Steven Spielberg, and based on a story by Phillip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is a superb sci-fi action thriller. Futuristic concepts pepper a tautly paced film with a complicated plot. A harried Cruise runs for his life throughout most of it, dodging the police and fighting against fate itself. It's a head trip at times, and "The Fugitive" in the future at others, but the meeting of Spielberg, Cruise and Phillip K Dick's did not disappoint!
5) Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Ron Kovic, a young marine who is paralyzed in Vietnam. A true believer when he went in, he loses more than his ability to walk in the war. He loses the very foundation of his beliefs. With nothing left to stand on, literally and metaphorically, he's forced to go journey of self discovery that ends with him protesting the war and condemning the very things he once held so dear. A powerful anti-war movie, and easily one of Cruise's most challenging roles.
Martin Scorsese directs Cruise at his young hotshot best. Paul Newman reprises his role as "The Hustler"'s Fast Eddie Felson, who first mentors Cruise, then comes out of retirement to challenge him. Cruise whoops and hollers around as Newman tries to channel his energy in the right direction and coach him in the way of the hustle. All the while, Scorsese's visually striking direction makes nine-ball look cooler than it ever has.
Paul Thomas Anderson's epic masterpiece on the human condition. It's an incredible film, with an enormous, talented cast. A challenging, unique and poetic movie, Magnolia is easily one of the best films Cruise has ever been involved with. It takes a look at the fragile coincidences that connect us all as we move through life, each of us trying to do the best we can. Epic and operatic.
A rock solid courtroom drama featuring great performances, containing one of the most memorable lines in movie history. Cruise plays Daniel Kaffee, an underachieving Naval lawyer coasting by on his charm. When he's suddenly assigned a case with enormous stakes, however, Kaffee rises to his potential. The entire movie is great, but it's the unforgettable climactic courtroom scene with Cruise and Nicholson thundering at each other that makes the movie such a legend.
The story of the Babbit brothers may be most memorable for Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), but it's Charlie who changes. It's a moving story of a self-absorbed man who discovers he has an older brother he never knew about, only to learn that he's autistic. In an attempt to gain his share of the inheritance, Charlie winds up on a road trip with Raymond, and learns that there are more important things in life than money. Winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Well, there you have it. My weigh in on the top ten Tom Cruise movies ever. There were some PAINFUL omissions. I have seen but, for one reason or another, "Cut": "Collateral", "Legend", "War of the Worlds", "MI: 1-3", "The Last Samurai", "Vanilla Sky", "Cocktail", "Eyes Wide Shut", "Top Gun" and "Interview with the Vampire".
I mean, every one of those movies could easily place on a lesser star's top ten with no problems. But Cruise's filmography is filled with high quality pictures, he has no shortage of candidates for a "Top Ten" list, at all.
So what do YOU think? Which omission gets your blood boiling? Which movie do I have ranked to high, or too low? Let's hear it, what do YOU think?

Chagall: Daphnis & Chloé
25 Oct 2013 - 06 Feb 2014
Art Gallery of Alberta, AB
A pioneer of modernism, Marc Chagall formulated his own symbolic system in which reverie and playfulness often reigned, presenting an ethereal, richly coloured vision of the world. The set of lithographs titled Daphnis & Chloé is seen as Chagall's most important graphic work among his vast production. The inspiration for this series was a romantic, semi-erotic tale written by the Greek poet Longus in the second century. Chagall created these exquisite, colourful illustrations in the 1950s at the start of his marriage with his second wife, the great love of his life. Through fanciful compositions and bright hues he expresses the pastoral idylls of the young goatherd Daphnis and the young shepherdess Chloé on the island of Lesbos. These lithographs highlight his unique style, setting him apart from the main 20th-century pictorial currents followed by some of his contemporaries, such as Matisse and Picasso. Presenting Longus' tale in chronological order, the exhibition includes the entire series of 42 lithographs as well as a title page adorned with a decorative drawing by Chagall portraying the two protagonists in a passionate embrace.

Latvia 1903 – United States of America 1970
watercolour, pen and ink, pencil
on paper
verso: signed, upper right corner, in black crayon, 'MARK ROTHKO'
image 53.4 (h) x 37.0 (w) cm
sheet 57.4 (h) x 40.0 (w) cm Gift of American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia, Inc., New York, NY, USA, made possible with the generous support of Mark Rothko Foundation, 1986. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
NGA 1986.1886 © Mark Rothko/ARS. Licensed by Viscopy
- with the Mark Rothko Foundation;
- by whom given by the American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia, New York, and Mark Rothko Foundation to the National Gallery of Australia, August 1986
- Abstract Expressionism: the National Gallery of Australia celebrates the centenaries of Jackson Pollock and Morris Louis
- 14 Jul 2012 – 24 Feb 2013
Untitled is a delicate watercolour, pen, ink and pencil drawing by Rothko that predates the artist's paintings Multiform 1948 and No. 20 (Deep red and black)1957, both in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. Whilst these paintings show Rothko's celebrated painterly fields of colour, the comparatively unknown Untitled is dramatically different in style. Like many Abstract Expressionist painters in New York during the early 1940s, Rothko developed an early interest in Surrealism, mythology and spiritual symbols.
Untitled displays a thin sinuous line that curves from the upper left down to lower right and another which is centred and vertical. Both scroll-like marks cross a section of repeated horizontal lines in the lower half of the drawing. This arrangement can be recognised as musical notation—the symbols of a staff and clef. Furthermore, the large circular shape in the lower quadrant of the drawing appears as the sound hole in the base of a musical instrument, perhaps a mandolin, with its thin neck standing straight and embellished with strings, blue machine heads and an orange wooden scroll. As a young man, Rothko had taught himself to play both the mandolin and the piano; throughout his career as a painter, music was a constant source of inspiration and connection to the spiritual. By 1948 even the manner in which Rothko titled his paintings, by number or colour, had a distinct relation to musical composition.
Although the overall style of the drawing is representational, Rothko has taken special care in his selection of colour, contrasting the orange and blue of his forms against lightly washed, abstract fields that serve for the backdrop. The ghostly shadow along the upper section of the composition is a curious element; this geometric form hints at the rectangular slabs Rothko later established as his signature style. Whilst the watercolour hererefers directly to music through its figurative elements, Rothko's later paintings make the same connection on complex abstract terms, displaying a synaesthesia that links the domain of the visual and the audible.
Jaklyn Babington
The National Gallery of Australia holds two paintings by Rothko, Untitled (Multiform) 1948 and No. 20 (Deep red and black) 1957, and a drawing Untitled c. 1944–46.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Interest has been expressed to organize a 24 Hour Zine Thing zine swap for the participants who finish their zine this month. In the past we have tried this but it hasn't turned out too well. Any recommendations for how this could successfully work? And how many people would be interested in participating?
Views: 142
Maybe have something listed in multiple locations? Here, Facebook, Twittah, etc...so that people see it regardless of where they are on the interwebz.
I would be. By the time the swap happens I should have postage money and a mailing address.
I'm currently working on a DIY Postcard Exchange (basically a zine swap with postcards) & I've come into some problems...I'd just recommend making it very clear that once you sign up you're in & required to participate (of course you can't force anyone but just make sure that they're serious in a light-hearted fun way) & just make sure that people understand that this is gonna cost them the price of postage for all their zines - which leads to a maximum amount of people in the swap so it's not gonna be too pricey...I'd say under 30? The first 25 people? First 27?
Hope this might help - I'm sooooo in! I'd LOVE to do a swap - I cannot fucking WAIT to clear my schedule, a whole 24 hours, to make Elliott Smith Stabbed Himself In the Heart #2!
So, as the month comes to an end, are people still interested in this? I'm gonna re-post to FB and the main 24HZT page here on We Make Zines, too.
Now that more people are completing their challenge zines, I suspect more people have bandwidth to think about doing a trade.
And, if not, then, hey, the 4 or 5 us in here get to swap our zines either way!
I've already sent mine off to a couple of people. If you'd like to trade, feel free to message me.
I want swapsies - but I'm not going to be able to sort out posting for at least a week, maybe two... if you can bear the wait please message me :D
Lindsay - I am totally down with doing a trade in a week or so.
Since there are a relatively small # of ppl interested, maybe we should all just contact each other re: direct trades. Might be easier!
If anyone want to email me re: trades, shoot me a line at:
I understand this problem myself. When I swap with others I generally send my zine and usually never receive a zine from my recipient. I would love to trade with others for my 24 hour zine, but since my main focus is Cadillac Girl, I posted a copy of my 24 hour zine on my website so I dont' run into the issues of wasting money on postage to send my copy and not get one back in return. http://cadillacgirlzine.webs.com but if anyone is really interested in tarding for this project please let me know and I will make copies and place one in the mail : )

TORONTO -- Mark Buehrle's stomach wasn't feeling too good. His arm, however, was in exceptional shape.
Buehrle pitched seven shutout innings to win his sixth straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Kansas City 3-2 on Friday night, ending the Royals' winning streak at five games.
Buehrle didn't stick around to speak to reporters after the game, citing an upset stomach. But all those who remained had plenty of praise for the veteran left-hander.
"We just couldn't get any hits off him, couldn't get anything rolling," Kansas City outfielder Alex Gordon said.
Adam Lind drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, who have won 10 of 14 meetings with Kansas City dating to 2011. Second baseman Ryan Goins made a diving play for the final out with two runners aboard.
The Royals, who came in six games behind Oakland for the second AL wild-card berth, lost for the first time since Aug. 24 against Washington, the final defeat in a seven-game skid.
"This one's not overly frustrating," manager Ned Yost said. "You don't ever want to lose at this time of year, but it was a good game. We fought to the end, it just didn't happen."
Buehrle (11-7) allowed four hits, walked one and struck out five to match his longest winning streak since 2005, when he won a career-best nine consecutive decisions. He's 6-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his past eight outings and has gone 8-2 with a 2.72 ERA in 14 home starts this season.
"He's got so many different weapons," Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia said. "He's so good at executing a plan."
Thanks to Buehrle's brisk, efficient outing, the game was completed in 2 hours, 24 minutes.
"He works quick, and once he gets in a groove he just gets in that rhythm," Gordon said. "You look up and it's the eighth inning and it's 8 o'clock."
Arencibia said Buehrle isn't bothered when opposing batters try to disrupt his pace by stepping out of the box.
"A lot of teams try to take their time, call timeout and try to get him off his rhythm," Arencibia said. "It doesn't faze him, really. It's funny because I see teams try to do that and I know he doesn't care. He's just ready to pitch."
Brett Cecil and Sergio Santos worked the eighth before Casey Janssen finished for his 25th save in 27 chances.
Mike Moustakas hit a leadoff single in the ninth and was replaced by pinch-runner Chris Getz. Pinch-hitter David Lough popped out before Jarrod Dyson singled. Pinch-hitter George Kottaras lined out sharply to center, and Janssen ended it by getting Gordon to ground out, with Goins diving for the ball and throwing from his knees.
Goins went 1 for 4 and has hit safely in all seven games he's played since being promoted from Triple-A Buffalo.
"He's done a terrific job," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "There's no panic with the kid. He carries himself like he belongs."
Ervin Santana (8-8) was the hard-luck loser. He allowed three runs, two earned, and four hits in seven innings, extending his winless streak to five starts. The right-hander walked two and struck out six.
Toronto took the lead with a two-run first. After leadoff batter Jose Reyes flied out on the first pitch, Goins reached on an error by former Blue Jays infielder Emilio Bonifacio at second base. Goins went to third on Edwin Encarnacion's double, and Lind followed with a two-run single.
"The pitch to Lind wasn't a bad pitch," Yost said. "It was kind of middle-away a little bit and he just served it up the middle for the two runs."
Toronto made it 3-0 in the fifth when Anthony Gose hit a leadoff triple and scored on Goins' infield single, a hot shot that Moustakas couldn't handle cleanly at third.
The Royals rallied with two runs off Cecil in the eighth. Alcides Escobar singled and went to third on a base hit by Gordon, then scored on Bonifacio's sacrifice bunt. Replays showed that Bonifacio beat the throw to first, but he was called out by umpire Will Little, bringing Yost out for an argument.
"He wasn't doing much talking, I was," Yost said when asked what kind of explanation Little offered.
Eric Hosmer chased Cecil with an RBI single before Santos came on to end the threat. He got some help from third baseman Brett Lawrie, who made a spectacular barehanded catch and throw on Billy Butler's chopper for the second out.
Buehrle made his 50th career start against Kansas City. ... Moustakas returned to the lineup after missing the past three games with an illness. ... Royals C Salvador Perez also returned to the starting lineup. Perez did not start Thursday but came on as a pinch-hitter in the ninth. ... Bonifacio is 9 for 9 in stolen base attempts since being traded from Toronto to Kansas City on Aug. 14. ... Royals infielder Chris Getz celebrated his 30th birthday. ... Gibbons was Kansas City's bench coach from 2009-11.

His wife being half deaf asked her husband what he said. He loudly repeated back to her what the officer had asked for. The officer then asked if he knew how fast he was going. Again the wife asked what he said. At which time he repeated it back to her while the officer went to the car and issued a ticket. When the officer got back to the car he told the Old timer that he had noticed the couple was from Arizona. The Officer then told them he had at one time years ago went on a blind date with a girl from Arizona that turned out to be the ugliest girl he ever saw. The wife once again asked her husband what the officer said. The old timer turned to his wife and said "eythal be quiet the guys said he thinks he knows you."

Today, millions of kids around the globe will take a stand against childhood obesity. How? By getting up, getting outside and exercising—all at the same time. The children are taking part in Project ACES, which stands for All Children Exercise Simultaneously. Fitness expert Len Saunders started the yearly event 22 years ago. He hopes Project ACES will motivate young people everywhere to get fit and live healthy lifestyles.
Taking Action
According to the American Heart Association, there are some 25 million children and adolescents in the United States who are overweight or obese. That's nearly 1 in 3 kids. Obesity can lead to many serious health problems. "There is so much research out there that concerns me," Saunders told TFK. He decided to do something about it.
When Project ACES began, Saunders was working at two elementary schools. At first, he envisioned a day where students in just those two schools would exercise together. But before long, schools across the country found out about the plan and wanted to participate. By the following year, schools worldwide were signing up.
Join the Fun!
Valley View Elementary, in Montville, New Jersey, is the host school for the event. Saunders teaches physical education at the school. Valley View plans to hold its Project ACES Day on the playground, where 500 students will get moving with various activities.
Jen Kayne has two kids who attend Valley View Elementary. She says they look forward to the event each year. "My kids count down the days until they get to go outside and exercise with their friends," Kayne says. "Mr. Saunders encourages our children everyday and inspires us to live a healthier lifestyle."
Saunders' new book, Keeping Kids Fit, also features tips on how families can make exercising and eating right fun on a regular basis. "My life's mission is to fight childhood obesity," he says. "You might not be able to change the world, but you can change your little corner of it. If I can have an impact on one family member or one child, then I've succeeded."
If you want a Project ACES Day at your school, ask your teacher or principal to visit projectaces.com.

Axis Communications' Fredrik Nilsson Addresses 2012 IP Trends
Where is IP video headed this year? Axis Communications General Manager Fredrik Nilsson shares his thoughts for the 2012 Industry Forecast.
By Scott Goldfine · January 4, 2012
What does 2012 hold in store for your business and the industry? Find out with the many insights offered in SSI's annual Industry Forecast, which is featured in our January issue. This year, more than 25 of the industry's most prominent research firms, trade associations, business and finance specialists, systems integrators, manufacturers, consultants, and alarm companies rendered a deep and sweeping portrait of the impending security landscape. The participants addressed the most significant changes, challenges and opportunities they anticipate taking place during the next 12 months in seven critical areas. They are: security technology; security markets; security industry; business and operations; politics and legislation; risks and threats; and ongoing challenges. With the boundaries of print being too constrained to present all of the fascinating and valuable assessments, each of the respondents' complete, edited interviews are being offered exclusively online. Happy New Year!
Fredrik Nilsson
General Manager
Axis Communications Inc.
Security Technology
Fredrik Nilsson: We're moving to an all-IP, all-digital surveillance world and technology development is happening very quickly. Specifically, improving light sensitivity of IP cameras has recently seen some great strides. We're seeing more and more thermal network cameras — which can detect in complete darkness — being integrated into professional installations. This will certainly continue. IP cameras are also giving users the ability to see color and detail even in dark conditions. We've seen a shift from CCD sensors to CMOS sensors for better light sensitivity. Also, thanks to the continuation of Moore's Law, the camera has much more capacity for processing power, which can be used to digitally sharpen and filter the image — producing a color image in extremely low light conditions instead of switching to black and white like traditional day/night cameras.
In a second trend, innovations in storage will not only cause a technology shift for surveillance users, but also presents a tremendous opportunity for integrators to bring IP to smaller installations. Today, network video is the de facto choice for systems with more than 32 cameras because of its scalability, image quality and total cost of ownership. But with the rise of hosted video combined with advancements in edge storage, we expect to see IP become a realistic and affordable solution for nearly every installation, large or small.
Security Markets
Nilsson: Despite all its benefits, IP video only makes up about 30% of new system installations. There's still a huge market to converge. Education and health care were early adopters of IP, and government, transportation and commercial installations are moving toward an all-network video model. With solid migration strategies in place via video encoders combined with new cloud-based and edge storage opportunities, the retail market is making great strides in IP video, as well. Soon the banking and gaming industries will follow suit and IP will be for everyone.
The biggest challenge of 2012 will be similar to years past: setting proper expectations. As we move away from analog systems — as with any technology shift — there will be a learning curve. When should I use a high-resolution camera? When is a standard definition one more appropriate? What's the difference between HDTV and megapixel? Will this analytic work at the success rate my customer needs? Is hosted video the right opportunity for this installation? To answer these questions and best serve the security directors of the world, the integrator community must stay committed to its educational and certification efforts.
Security Business and Operations
Nilsson: As IP camera technology improves each day, better capabilities in the areas of image quality and intelligent functionality will make our surveillance systems more useful. IP video will be used for more than just security and surveillance. There are opportunities for sales and marketing functions as well as operational efficiencies that the end user may not know exists. Retailers are leading the way here, and are using their systems to improve the bottom line. We'll also see an uptick in mobile device usage thanks to better image compression and ever-increasing bandwidth. This will open up new opportunities for remote monitoring.
Security Industry
Nilsson: We will see continued education and certification. The reality is we're shifting to an IT-centric, IP-focused surveillance world. Technology innovation and product development is happening faster than this industry has seen before. This will only improve our industry by making our systems more effective, but it's up to the integrators and distributors to ensure their certifications are up to date and staff is properly trained in order to stay ahead. IP in smaller systems will also present a major opportunity. In the world of 16 or fewer cameras, analog still dominates. And when you consider the thousands of small stores, gas stations, offices, and the like around the country, it's not surprising that this segment of the market makes up the majority of the install base. These many small installs add up quite quickly, especially if you're using easy-to-install products.

Actually couple of questions
1. On "average" if fed well and good weather (and a blessing from the bee gods) how long for a 10 frame deep hive fill up or need a second brood box starting from a package?
2. Any advantages to starting a package in a 5 frame deep compared to a 10 frame?
3. On average how much sugar pollen patty's am I looking at going through this first season per hive from spring til bedding them down for winter?
4 Any advantages to running hives in 5 frame deeps as opposed to 8 frame mediums if and when weight lifting is a concern?
I do realize that there is going to be differences between geographical areas and care taking theology's and a all advice is welcome and encouraged. I also realize that some of the questions raise age old debates on the merits of each idea. I want to really understand that for myself and have an idea of what I am going to encounter when I get my bees in April 20. thanks.

IT giants are either buying business process management (BPM) vendors or expanding on existing BPM capabilities. Business Intelligence vendors are partnering with BPM vendors, as are purveyors of business activity monitoring and business rule vendors. Plenty of businesses are adopting the technology, too, so just what is BPM, why is it gaining attention and how do you choose the right technology?
You would think that defining BPM would be straight-forward, but that's not the case, in part because business process management suite (BPMS) capabilities are now being found in many solutions solving different needs. Thus, the terminology is sometimes used rather loosely (not to mention the confusion with the other BPM, business performance management). Regardless, one thing is clear: BPM is getting a lot of attention. Forrester Research estimates that BPMS license, services and maintenance revenue will grow from $1.2 billion in 2005 to more than $2.7 billion by 2009 – an adoption trend vendors and practitioners alike can't ignore.
A common confusion about BPM surrounds the difference between the workflow systems of the 1990s and today's BPMS. Older, proprietary workflow systems managed document-based processes where people executed the workflow steps of the process. Today's BPM systems manage processes that include person-to-person work steps, system-to-system communications or combinations of both. In addition, BPM systems include integrated features such as enhanced (and portable) process modeling, simulation, code generation, process execution, process monitoring, customizable industry-specific templates and UI components, and out-of-box integration capabilities along with support for Web-services-based integration.
All of these ingredients translate to increased interest today in BPM suites because they bring businesses a higher level of flexibility for business processes while reducing risks and cost. Think of BPM suites as offering a way to build, execute and monitor automated processes that may go across organizational boundaries - a kind of next-generation workflow. Read on to learn what's inside the two styles of BPMS, what makes the technology tick and how to choose the right system for your organization and process needs.

Thanks for the tute, that's one I'll try.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for the tute, that's one I'll try.
Thanks so much for the tutorial :)
Looking for flower to hand applique pattern. Nothing too tedious with the skinny stems. Anybody have one to share.
Thank you for that idea, I am going to make them smaller and do a small mini quilt top with them. Which I can see as a flower garden with the batiks. Again thank you really cute
Have a Blessed day
The tut was great, but---do you applique the center sq on or top stitch or what? Guess I'm a little slow on this one.
OK--I'm the dummy here, looked at the other tut and saw how the center was done. PLEASE no lashes with the wet noodle. DS is undergoing emer surgery as I type and DH is headed back to hosp. I grew ulcers, per dr 2/day, so my thinking cap is not fitting well.Originally Posted by pollym44
Thank you my next project.
Thanks....now something else for me to try!!!!.... but I love the look of them....... guess I had better bookmark it and maybe try another day!!......
Well...I be !! This is a nice tute so thanks for sharing. Going to bookmark this one for furture project!
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to try this.
