At six o'clock we were waiting for coffee,
waiting for coffee and the charitable crumb
The brown enormous odor he lived by
was too close, with its breathing and thick hair,
Each day with so much ceremony
begins, with birds, with bells,
with whistles from a factory;
such white-gold skies our eyes
Days that cannot bring you near
or will not,
Distance trying to appear
something more obstinate,
argue argue argue with me
Here is a coast; here is a harbor;
here, after a meager diet of horizon, is some scenery:
Although it is a cold evening,
down by one of the fishhouses
an old man sits netting,
Out on the high "bird islands," Ciboux and Hertford,
the razorbill auks and the silly-looking puffins all stand
Love's the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite `The boy stood on
the burning deck.' Love's the son
Alone on the railroad track
I walked with pounding heart.
The ties were too close together
or maybe too far apart.
Across the floor flits the mechanical toy,
fit for a king of several centuries back.
The tumult in the heart
keeps asking questions.
And then it stops and undertakes to answer
in the same tone of voice.
Unfunny uncles who insist
in trying on a lady's hat,
--oh, even if the joke falls flat,
we share your slight transvestite twist
Oh, but it is dirty!
--this little filling station,
oil-soaked, oil-permeated
to a disturbing, over-all
black translucency.
In the cold, cold parlor
my mother laid out Arthur
beneath the chromographs:
Edward, Prince of Wales,
with Princess Alexandra,
Still dark.
The unknown bird sits on his usual branch.
The little dog next door barks in his sleep
inquiringly, just once.
The state with the prettiest name,
the state that floats in brackish water,
held together by mangrave roots
I am too big. Too big by far. Pity me.
My eyes bulge and hurt. They are my one great beauty, even
I am in need of music that would flow
Over my fretful, feeling fingertips,
Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
In Worcester, Massachusetts,
I went with Aunt Consuelo
to keep her dentist's appointment
and sat and waited for her
The moon in the bureau mirror
looks out a million miles
(and perhaps with pride, at herself,
but she never, never smiles)
From Brooklyn, over the Brooklyn Bridge, on this fine morning,
please come flying.
In a cloud of fiery pale chemicals,
Remembering the Strait of Belle Isle or
some northerly harbor of Labrador,
before he became a schoolteacher
For Louise Crane
In your next letter I wish you'd say
where you are going and what you are doing;
[Given to Frank Bidart]
You won't become a gourmet* cook
By studying our Fannie's book--
For Thomas Edwards Wanning
Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
Earliest morning, switching all the tracks
that cross the sky from cinder star to star,
coupling the ends of streets
Minnow, go to sleep and dream,
Close your great big eyes;
Round your bed Events prepare
The pleasantest surprise.
For a Child of 1918
My grandfather said to me
as we sat on the wagon seat,
"Be sure to remember to always

a sort of inheritance; white,
In Memoriam: Robert Lowell
I can make out the rigging of a schooner
a mile off; I can count
Beneath that loved and celebrated breast,
silent, bored really blindly veined,
grieves, maybe lives and lets
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster,
About the size of an old-style dollar bill,
American or Canadian,
mostly the same whites, gray greens, and steel grays
There are too many waterfalls here; the crowded streams
hurry too rapidly down to the sea,
The great light cage has broken up in the air,
freeing, I think, about a million birds
At four o'clock
in the gun-metal blue dark
we hear the first crow of the first cock
just below
the gun-metal blue window
The roaring alongside he takes for granted,
and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
This celestial seascape, with white herons got up as angels,
flying high as they want and as far as they want sidewise
September rain falls on the house.
In the failing light, the old grandmother
sits in the kitchen with the child
It is so peaceful on the ceiling!
It is the Place de la Concorde.
The little crystal chandelier
Hidden, oh hidden
in the high fog
the house we live in,
beneath the magnetic rock,
rain-, rainbow-ridden,
where blood-black
A washing hangs upon the line,
but it's not mine.
None of the things that I can see
belong to me.
I am in need of music that would flow
Over my fretful, feeling finger-tips,
Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
I am in need of music that would flow
Over my fretful, feeling finger-tips,
Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips,
Caught -- the bubble
in the spirit level,
a creature divided;
and the compass needle
wobbling and wavering,
On the unbreathing sides of hills
they play, a specklike girl and boy,
alone, but near a specklike house.
For Robert Lowell
This is the time of year
when almost every night
the frail, illegal fire balloons appear.
At low tide like this how sheer the water is.
White, crumbling ribs of marl protrude and glare
On the fair green hills of Rio
There grows a fearful stain:
The poor who come to Rio
And can't go home again.
We must admire her perfect aim,
this huntress of the winter air
whose level weapon needs no sight,
For John Malcolm Brinnin and Bill Read: Duxbury
It was cold and windy, scarcely the day
to take a walk on that long beach
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
We'd rather have the iceberg than the ship,
although it meant the end of travel.
Although it stood stock-still like cloudy rock
Here, above,
cracks in the buldings are filled with battered moonlight.
The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat.
Land lies in water; it is shadowed green.
Shadows, or are they shallows, at its edges
Now can you see the monument? It is of wood
built somewhat like a box. No. Built
like several boxes in descending sizes
Moving from left to left, the light
is heavy on the Dome, and coarse.
One small lunette turns it aside
This is the house of Bedlam.
This is the man
that lies in the house of Bedlam.
This is the time
of the tragic man
Wasted, wasted minutes that couldn't be worse,
minutes of a barbaric condescension.

As the original scent from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, this fragrance has special significance. A bright floral blend, with the slightest touch of musk, its aroma captures the fresh, splendid feeling of the first few days of spring. The result is a feel-good fragrance that can't help but inspire optimism: An olfactory ode to sunny mornings and new beginnings.
This is more floral than I am used to in a men's cologne. It is described as "musky, floral and citrus" but the floral definitely predominates. It is reminiscent of potpourri. I'm not getting any musk in mine, and only a little of the lemony citrus. I hate to stereotype but it does seem a little more feminine than masculine. The wife agrees, for whatever that is worth. Doesn't seem to change much after application though.1

Biological Manipulation of Manure: Getting What You Want from Animal Manure
Figure 1. The flow of non-fuel energy in animal production operations. Arrows denote a transfer of energy.
Except in extreme cases of cold, pH, or lack of water, biological decomposition is inevitable. Microbial activity can create a wide range of byproducts. By storing, handling, or treating manure in various ways, farmers can control the byproducts produced by this biological activity. This is important to a farmer desiring to manage nutrients, control manure odors, increase ease of manure handling, or create a marketable product.
Manure Contains Energy
In a sense, agriculture is all about managing energy flow (Figure 1). This energy flow begins when solar energy is captured by growing crops. Farm animals, in turn, use the energy contained in crops to build body mass and produce milk or eggs. Some energy is lost through respiration and heat from the animal's body. The remaining energy is excreted in manure. This excreted energy becomes a food source for microorganisms that live in the manure. Once the microorganisms deplete the available energy, the manure can no longer support microbial activity. At this point, the manure will not decompose further, and is considered "biologically stable."
Environment Affects Byproducts of Biological Activity
Like any other form of life, microorganisms create waste products. Offensive odors, methane gas, and stable humus are all potential byproducts of microbial activity. Different types of microorganisms generate different byproducts. The environment that manure is subjected to will influence the type of microorganisms that use the energy contained in manure. Some type of microorganism will use this energy under almost any conditions. Specific microorganisms, like animals, require particular diets and environmental conditions for optimum growth. Manure can provide the "food" for a wide variety of microorganisms. By carefully selecting the method of manure handling, storage, or treatment, farmers can create the environmental conditions that encourage microorganisms that produce beneficial byproducts and avoid microorganisms that produce undesirable byproducts.
Just as a cornfield hosts different plants, weeds, and insects than an alfalfa field, different manure storage, handling, or treatment practices support very different microorganisms. The type of microorganisms that will use the energy in manure, and the byproducts created as a result, depends on temperature, pH, moisture content, time, and initial manure composition.
Biological Manipulation of Manure
Biological manipulation can be used to manage odor, nutrients, consistency, and stability of the treated manure product. For example, manure, combined with a carbon-rich material such as sawdust and sufficient air, can be transformed into stable compost. On the other hand, by eliminating all air and adding heat, raw manure that contains little bedding can be transformed into biogas and a low-odor, nutrient-rich, liquefied, stable effluent. Biological manipulation involves providing the proper "diet" and environment for the specific microorganisms that will use the manure energy.
Types of Microorganisms Responsible for Biological Manipulation
Two main groups of microorganisms are responsible for biological manipulation of manure:
- aerobic, those which need oxygen to survive
- anaerobic, those which thrive without oxygen.
Aerobic microorganisms use the energy in manure to create carbon dioxide, water, heat, and stable humus. They generally do not produce foul odors, but they require an abundant supply of oxygen. In farm applications, abundant oxygen is usually maintained with the proper mix of manure and a carbon-rich material and effective aeration (such as turning) of the mixture. Aerobic microorganisms can survive in a solid manure system if provisions are made to keep excess water out of the system. However, without purposefully managing for air incorporation, aerobic microorganisms can deplete available oxygen and cause parts of the manure pile or pack to become anaerobic.
Anaerobic bacteria can use the energy in manure to create biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) and a stable, liquefied effluent. If conditions are not suitable for biogas production, they also can create other byproducts that result in objectionable odors. Anaerobic bacteria survive in liquid manure systems where air cannot infiltrate the system and in manure piles that are too wet or compacted to allow air to permeate. Foul odors are the result of incomplete anaerobic decomposition, while biogas and stable effluent are the result of complete anaerobic breakdown of the manure energy. During the creation of odorous compounds, acid-forming bacteria use the energy in manure and create "intermediate" compounds as byproducts. Given enough time, the proper temperature, pH, and amount of "feed," methane-forming bacteria will break down these intermediate compounds into biogas, resulting in complete microbial decomposition and a stable end product (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Microbial use of manure energy in anaerobic, liquid manure systems.
Managing Manure for a Specific End Product
Manure is an energy-rich feedstuff that is filled with potentially active microorganisms. These microorganisms will use the energy in manure, causing the manure to change. The challenge of biological manipulation is to manage the environment in which that change takes place in order to produce (or not to produce) specific byproducts.
Animal Species, Feed Composition, and Manure Management Systems—Their Effect on Microbial Activity
Microbial activity in manure from different animal species is affected by the solids (Figure 3). High solid content manure, such as poultry manure that contains about 25 percent total solids has a better chance of sustaining aerobic microbial activity than hog manure which is more than 90 percent water. Liquid hog manure provides an ideal environment for anaerobic organisms to grow. Manure handling systems that alter the solids content by addition of bedding, waste feed or water will also affect microbial activity.
Figure 3. Microbial activity in selected manure management systems is influenced by solids content of manure.
Microbial activity is also affected by pH. Reported values for pH of manures are 6.9 for cage layer manure, 7.0 for dairy cattle manure and 7.5 for swine manure. Addition of waste feed, bedding or other materials to manure can affect these values. Also, because pH is influenced by the balance between volatile acids and ammonia that form during microbial decomposition of manure, the pH can go down or up depending on the conditions created by the management practices. Methane forming bacteria are particularly sensitive to pH.
Feed composition also affects microbial activity. High-protein diets encourage anaerobic conditions and more intense objectionable odors than high- roughage diets. For instance, cow manure is generally considered to be less of a source of offensive odors than nitrogen-rich hog or chicken manure. Nitrogen and oxygen are important "limiting factors" (see sidebar) for aerobic microbial activity. When nitrogen is abundant, the activity of microbes is limited by the supply of oxygen. The microbes in high-nitrogen manures rapidly use the limited supply of oxygen, causing the waste to become anaerobic. In addition, high-nitrogen manures may favor the production of certain offensive-smelling nitrogenous compounds.
Because manure is energy-rich and alive with microorganisms, planning for microbial change can help farmers get what they want from animal manure. Factors, such as the environment for microbial growth, can be controlled and used as a tool to put the desirable microorganisms to work. Understanding how to "feed and care for" the desirable microorganisms can reduce odor and nuisance problems associated with manure storage and handling systems and also provide a more desirable end product.

"Limiting Factors"
The barrel on the right illustrates the concept of "limiting factors." The height of opening A limits how much dark fluid the barrel can hold, while the height of opening B has no affect on the amount of fluid. Therefore opening A is the "limiting factor."
Biological treatment systems for liquid manure are usually designed according to the daily biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) or volatile solids (VS) loading per unit volume of the treatment structure. BOD and VS are measures of the amount of energy available in manure for microorganisms. Providing the proper amount of energy is very important for keeping desired microorganisms alive and healthy. This means that microorganisms in manure treatment facilities need to be taken care of like animals—given the proper amount of feed and the right environment in which to live. Other biological manipulation methods such as composting, while not designed specifically according to BOD or VS, depend on the balance between the energy contained in the carbon-rich materials, the energy and nitrogen in the manure, the moisture content of the mixture, and the supply of air to the mixture.
In contrast to manure treatment facilities, manure storage structures are not designed for managed biological activity. Rather, they are designed simply to accommodate a given manure volume for a specified storage time. However, because manure energy is available, some microorganisms live in practically all storage environments. Unfortunately, odor-causing bacteria can survive better in semi-solid and liquid systems than many other microorganisms that create less objectionable byproducts.
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)—The amount of oxygen needed for aerobic microorganisms to stabilize the organic matter in manure. BOD is an indicator of the energy available for use by anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms in biological treatment systems.
volatile solids (VS)—Solids in manure, or other organic material, that are readily converted into a gaseous byproduct. VS is often used as a loading parameter for design of biogas systems.
microorganisms—An organism that requires a microscope to be observed. In manure management systems, bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes are the primary microorganisms found.
microbial activity—The use of energy contained in manure or other organic matter by growing microorganisms.
manure storage system—A structure or earthen basin and associated loading and unloading equipment designed to accommodate a given volume of manure and other materials such as milking center wastewater, barnyard runoff, and silage leachate for a specified storage time.
biological treatment system—A system that utilizes growing microorganisms to reduce the strength, odor, or otherwise alter the properties of manure or other organic materials.

A funeral for the zookeeper killed by an elephant at Franklin Zoo will be held today.
Helen Schofield was crushed to death on April 25 by Mila, a former circus elephant.
Dr Schofield, Franklin Zoo's owner and director, had nursed the animal for two years in the hope of getting her into an overseas sanctuary.
Her funeral service will be held south of Auckland in Tuakau's town hall at 2pm.
Dr Schofield bought the zoo in 2005 when it was in need of a new owner and she saw its animals wanting for better care.
Mila was born in the wild in 1973, but at nine months she was taken into captivity at London Zoo. She ended up at Honolulu Zoo for a brief period before the Whirling Brothers Circus brought her to New Zealand in 1978.
Auckland Zoo staff are now helping care for Mila while the SPCA and the Ministry for Agriculture and Fisheries try to work out her future.
Dr Schofield, 42, had been in talks with California-based sanctuary Paws, which has said Mila is still welcome.

Former Mini World Rally Team team manager Campbell Roy has left the Banbury-based outfit.
Roy had been at the heart of what was the factory Mini team and his departure will leave a void in the management side of the renamed Prodrive WRC Team. Prodrive stalwart and former Subaru World Rally Team operations director Paul Howarth will take over Roy's role.
A Prodrive source said: "We will miss Campbell, he was one of the hard working guys who made sure everything was done with no corners cut. It's a big loss for us."
Roy, who joined the team 12 months ago, was unavailable for comment when AUTOSPORT contacted him.
Prodrive's Richard Taylor confirmed a reshuffle of staff last week, reflecting the Banbury firm's loss of manufacturer status - although the team and the ongoing development of the Mini John Cooper Works WRC is still funded by the BMW Group.
Prodrive recently revealed the latest upgrades for the Mini - with more than 100 improvements on the car available (FIA homologation this week pending) from the Rally of Portugal onwards.

Good bits: Very responsive to messages. That's it. Bad bits: Timing belt change was delayed by two days despite one day service promised at the beginning. When I finally got my car back, turned out it was done incorrectly and they had to do it again. That was done with another two days of delay. Garage promised to pick up car using breakdown truck, but the car was picked up and delivered on the wheels. Till today I haven't received any invoice for the job done. Oh, and forget you'll ever get to call Richie! He isn't answering any of his numbers and won't call you back for a few hours. It was such a wonderful time waiting for him to call you back and inform you won't get your car back when promised. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
Very bad customer service experience. Posted my job on here twice, colins accepted twice and have contacted me once through messaging but they have still failed to book me an appointment. Also the second time they accepted the same job I posted it was more expensive. Won't be using colins or whocanfixmycar.com again

would give 0 starts after lengthy conversation with the garage said they would call weeks ago, never did get the call to arrange. provided 2 numbers no attempt on either. got it fixed elsewhere so it figured out in the end.
Job well done.
Very happy, a lot cheaper and good quality of work Thanks Highly recommended
Honest and good garage! 10/10 would recommend
I was able to pic a film on their digital service to watch while I waited, helped pass the time on a big job. Friendly staff, but could do with a bell to save people waiting to speak to someone. All in, great service, great price. Will be back if need anything else done. Thanks guys
Suspect head gadget change, turned out it was fine. They then changed oil and filters, pressure tested. All ok A1 service really good....kept me upto date with car to what was happening. Excellent.
The garage was really friendly and helpful at getting my car fixed for me when others had let me down. The price quoted did double by the end.
Worst car garages ever seen book me in on Friday and drop the car in the morning then I have phone call 3 pm sorry I have to book you under day our network not working today
Kept me upto date, regarding a repair to my car, and very fairly priced.
Expensive fix but feel it was the right price, was not overcharged. Friendly service would recommend.
Good communications and advice given by them, initial work carried out was investigative to identify the problem. Works carried out satisfactorily by them. Nothing was a problem to them, I would use them again and will recommend them to others.
The car broke down two days before appointment to fix clutch,gear seector cables had gone and clutch burnt out. Jordan phoned me with the news about repairs required next day,gave him the go ahead,three pm got a call from Jordan car ready.Very happy customer got my car back a day earlier and drives like new,very pleasant and accommodating garage.
Cheapest price, nearest garage, fitted on the agreed date, job well done!
Very helpful and job well done.

ECU student to sing duet with Keith Urban in Raleigh
GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY - An ECU student will perform a duet with country music superstar Keith Urban in Raleigh Friday.
According to a release from East Carolina University, sophomore Kasey Tyndall taught herself how to play guitar at 10 years old, and has been singing and strumming ever since. On Friday night, she will perform a duet with Urban at the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre as a part of Urban's "Raise 'Em Up" tour.
ECU said Tyndall found out on Wednesday that will get to sing with Urban, by winning a contest held by Raleigh's 94.7 WQDR. Singers called in to the radio station and sang Miranda Lambert's part to Urban's hit, "We Were Us."
"I called in. They recorded it, sent to Keith Urban's team, and they picked me," Tyndall told ECU. "So Friday night, he'll announce me and I'll go out and sing that song with him."
Tyndall -- who is pursuing a major in nursing at ECU-- has performed at local festivals and opened for country music artist Jason Michael Carroll at a show in Louisburg. But she has never been on a stage as large as the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre. She has not performed "We Were Us" live before either, said ECU.
But Tyndall said she is not nervous and is looking forward to the opportunity.
"[Urban will] play it exactly like he does on iTunes so I know how many measures before I come in. And I'm sure if I have a moment, he'll give me a nod," Tyndall said. "The more people, the less nervous I am. It's going to be fun."
Tyndall's father, Keith Tyndall of Nashville, N.C., will be backstage. Her mom, Teresa Martin, has a ticket to the show, along with about 15 other family members and friends.
"My family went crazy buying tickets. They are so excited," Tyndall said.
"I'm very proud of her. Not just her music, but the person that she is," said Tyndall's mom. "She's down-to-earth and she's a good kid."
Tyndall told ECU that although she wants to be a nurse and already has her Nursing Aide I license, she has always been passionate about singing.
"I tried out for The Voice and American Idol, but a lot of it is not if you can sing or not, it's about the marketing and if you have a good story, Tyndall said.
Tyndall was born in rocky Mount and moved to Greenville before sixth grade. She is a graduate of D.H. Conley High School.

Thong nai pan noi beach
I arrived in Ko Phangan Ko Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. The ferry took nearly an hour to reach the island. My main goal was to go to the Full Moon Party, the famous party held every month that takes place in Haad Rin beach in Ko Phangan, Thailand. As the island is very busy at this time of year, I went to a little place away from all of the bustle. Thong Nai Pan Noi Choose is a remote location and it took an hour to travel the 10km by taxi. It was worth it though because it's a beautiful beach and area. The beach is certainly not the most beautiful in Thailand, but the surrounding environment is certainly the best. The Rasta Baby Bar is a great place to go and meet the local people. I chose my bungalow and paid the modest sum of 300 baht, about 6 euros per night. I stayed for 4 nights but I hope to return and stay for at least a week. In my opinion, it is the best island in Thailand, the best suited to me.

Thursday, January 26, 2012
The No. 10 Baker University wrestling team has continued to make its presence known to the rest of the country as it has fixated itself into the top 10 in the national poll for the past two months.
After back-to-back weekends of tough competition at the NWCA-Cliff Keen National Duals and the Viking Warrior Open, most of the team had last weekend off.
"It was pretty nice (to have a week off)," freshman Bo Newport said. "(Assistant) Coach (George) Roath took some people to try to qualify for nationals, but most of us got to stay back."
While many wrestlers rested up for the stretch run of the season, 11 wrestlers made the trip to the York Open Saturday in York, Neb.
"We took 11 kids and four of them placed in the top eight," head coach Jimmy May said. "We've mainly just been trying to get ready for the Kansas Cup this week. We did have (junior) Jacob Nowak trying to qualify for nationals, so we sent him up there. He placed sixth, but did not qualify because there were not enough people competing in his weight class."
Many of the wrestlers who did not compete in the York Open were excited to have a weekend off, but are also ready to begin the stretch run leading up to the regional and national tournaments.
The Wildcats have been on the road since their season debut at Collins Center with the Dan Harris Open, but they will host a tournament and dual within the next week.
BU will host the Kansas Cup at 9 a.m. Sunday and then square off against No. 4 Oklahoma City University at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Collins Center.
"I'm very excited," senior Dylan Berg said. "I've been at this school for almost two years now and this is the first time I've wrestled in front of the home crowd."
The Kansas Cup will feature nine schools, including highly touted NCAA Division II Fort Hays State University and Labette Community College. The Wildcats placed third in the Kansas Cup two years ago and second last year and May would be pleased with another top three finish.
"It's a small tournament," May said. "It's not like the Dan Harris Open where we have six mats and we'll only have three mats. It's like the showcase for Kansas college wrestling."
May is eager to see how his team will bounce back to face Oklahoma City, which has 11 new wrestlers in its starting 12 this season.
"They are very loaded this year," May said. "We beat them last year, but they are ranked fourth in the country right now. They just wrestled at a tournament this weekend and had a really good showing down there in Missouri, so they are going to be tough to beat."

My research is primarily studio based but I have curated or co-curated nine exhibitions. My studio practice is drawing and painting focused with occasional forays into digital imaging and sculpture. I work primarily with India ink, and acrylic and oil paints. My subject matter concentrates on the dissection of narrative structures, the impact of symbols, and ahistorism. Stylistically my work can be categorized as horror vacui and neo -expressionistic.
Following is a personal statement about recent drawings:
"My drawings envision a dense mass of symbols and figures moving through a nether world, a psychological landscape like space. I believe many symbols are losing their potency as they are assimilated into the story telling mediums of popular culture. It appears that their meanings become lost or diffused as they become an element in contemporary mass entertainment. I want my drawings to be enticing, engaging through their horror vacui surface. But I also hope that they have a feeling of insatiable melancholy, a sense that something intangible is lost in so much."
1] A series of four to seven 36 x 73 in. India ink drawings examing the visual properties and meaning implications of an even plane of a huge number of fantastic figures and symbols. Each drawing has a different narrative underlying the field of imagery.
2] A series of 30 x 22 in. expressionistic brush and ink drawings utilizing the dried residue left in the bottles of ink used in the above drawings. These drawings examine concerns contingent to adventure, exploration and environmental consequences.
3] A series of acrylic and oil paintings investigating the border between representation and abstraction, and the relative inferences of meaning.

Website Review: Faith Arts
A review based on: http://www.faitharts.ie
FaithArts is a website for those interested in the relationship between religion and the arts, especially the popular arts. The perspective is Catholic and Irish, and its particular audience is religion teachers, but hopefully anyone with a general interest in the subject will find something useful or thought provoking.
The site offers a selection of articles, links to pertinent websites, links to teaching/study resources on poetry and drama, and a news page. Although some of the resources are not specifically Catholic, there is still much worthwhile material here for Catholics.

Eco-Friendly Pizza Box Will Change The Future [Video]
I was originally going to say this story is about an evolution in "green pizza" but that didn't sound to appetizing so I opted for Eco-friendly. I am not an enthusiastic environmentalist but I do care about the planet and the world I will leave behind for my kids and grand kids. I should probably learn more about recycling. In this video I found at least one way I know I will be willing to help.
This new pizza box really does solve most of the problems with having a pizza. The way the lid breaks down and tears off into four throwaway plates is genius. The bottom of the box's ability to be folded to a small storage container is absolutely a stellar idea.
This would also mean your pizza box trash will fit into most household trash containers too. That way you don't get the pizza box lid over the garbage can blocking the way for other items you want to throw away. I hope the major pizza suppliers in our country will take a look at this box. I think it's a great idea and the people that thought of it should be rewarded with a profitable future.

Although it was constructed as "bombproof", the large, white building reflecting off the moon was an easy target for the Japanese forces. On the evening of December 7, 1941, a five inch shell found its way in through a window opening and mortally wounded First Lieutenant George Cannon. He refused to be evacuated from his post until communications were re-established and his men, who had been wounded by the same shell, were evacuated. He directed the reorganization of his Command Post until forcibly removed, and as a result of his utter disregard of his own condition he died from loss of blood. Lieutenant Cannon was the first Marine to receive the Medal of Honor in World War II.

These salts make a great alternative to the more generic, store-bought kind. They smell great but require at least twice as much as recommended to get the effect described. Given the price and the quantity provided, you might get 2 to 3 good soaks out of an 8 oz bottle. Unless you are trying to impress someone with the elegance and sophistication lacking in other salts, the price point makes this impractical from a personal use standpoint. On a side note, the lavender is wonderful but will require a second rinse of your tub to fully clean.3

Joba Chamberlain burst onto the scene in 2007 dominating in a setup relief role like few others ever had before. In 24 innings out of the bullpen in 2007 Chamberlain allowed only 1 earned run posting a 0.38 ERA. After some experimentation in the starting rotation in 2008 and 2009 the Yankees decided Jobas golden arm was best suited out of the bull pen in 2010 a role he has once again embraced. With experience and consistency Chamberlain has the necessary skill set to one day take over for Mariano Rivera as the Yankees closer.brbrJoba Chamberlain has hand signed this 8x10 photo of him pitching at the Original Yankee Stadium during his first career start. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Pot boiling tea – Hongdae
The freezing weather continues. They said this cold wave because of the global warming. Last week was mild but this week, even if 'onset of spring' of solar term, it is falling down to 17 degrees below zero again. Thinking about last summer, after sweltering weather, the temperature was changed quickly, so then, may be warmth will be coming soon.
I was walking around on the back street of Hongdae area like a maze, looking for the way to the subway station. It was so cold my fingers were frozen even wearing the woolen gloves. Soon after seeing the water vapor of the window of a shop, I just walked in it. The scent of something strange, the sound of water dropping, candles, well arranged with little pots on the shelves and oriental figures make some exotic atmosphere.
A man was moving over the patrician for seeing who's coming in the shop but he didn't say anything like "Hello" or " May I help you?" at the first even he saw me. All the products were printed in a foreign language, he said those were made in China and Taiwan. I asked more like "How much is this?" or "What is it?". He answered generously. His attitude was talking to one of the neighborhood, not to the customer. Actually, I'm not fond of tea, but I was standing there, still. In the unique world. I wouldn't get out. At that moment, he said, you can try some tea, so I asked, even though I don't buy it this time?, he answered, yes.
He guided me inside of the partition. One side of the wall filled with tea product covered with oriental paper. The other side by windows are full of little pots. All those pots were collected by him over the last 20 years from his selling tea beginning. He moved into the Hongdae area about 2 years ago.
We sit at the table across each other. On the table, there was a tea tray, porcelain cup sets, some tools for tea and also lots of little pots. The gorgeous, expansive, antique tea pot on the side is from Taiwan. Maybe this pot is the main character of the sign of the shop, winning of Seoul Good Sign, 2011.
From the pouring the water into the cup with tea leaps, he started to make tea. Covered the cup, waited for brewing for a few minutes and then threw away, it's good for the taste of tea. He poured the hot water in that cup again, then stirred it well. A few minutes later, he poured the brewed tea into the tiny cups and served one of it in front of me with the wooden tongs.
The hot steam was coming up in my cup. I don't like hot, so waited for getting cool down. Then he said it's not that hot, so good to have it while it's warm. I followed him.
The taste was great.
All the chilliness was gone away and the scent enchanted me. Actually, I didn't like a black tea but that one was good. Maybe his performance was a magic. His hands when he made tea was so smooth, seemed like dancing. We could chat more with the happiness from just a cup of tea.
I wondered that how it is for the person who has low of blood pressure. He explained many people think tea would be bad for that person, but in the case of puer tea, it's fermentation, good for them. Older is better. So the price of them are various, some are 4 hundred million. Amazing.
You can put it at ambient temperature, don't need to seal in tight protected from air, because it's fermentation foods like a fermented soybean lump, one of the Korean traditional food. So you can feel the change of the taste of the tea, after even opening the product, because tea product continues its fermentation process.
The days of yore, the people in North and South in Asia trade the horse and tea each other. When their relationship soured, the South didn't sell the tea to the North. That was the strong arm for them, because tea has lots of vitamin and essential for the North in the cold weather.
He served third one with same tea leaps, but I felt the second one was better. You can choose your own preference. The process of making tea is almost a great performance. As I asked if it's possible to take a picture of him, he felt shy and said he was not good at taking an interview but he was a natural born story teller, so it was not hard to get his smile.
He prepared other tea, Chinese one, for me, green colored. It looked more popular with a cheaper price than puer tea.
So clean.
I bought a puer tea, made in 2007. The package design is simple in brown color, looking good to give a present.
It was only for a few hours, but was like a long journey to the somewhere.
Happy daily.

Medical Review: John Pope, MD - Pediatrics & William Atkinson, MD, MPH -
Immunity is a person's resistance to (or protection from) a disease. A person may be born with temporary protection from certain diseases, or a person may be protected after having an infection or immunization (vaccination).
Immunity occurs because the body's immune system recognizes a foreign substance (such as a virus or bacteria) as potentially harmful and sends antibodies (proteins made by the immune system) to destroy it.
Immunity may be temporary or permanent, depending on the nature of the disease, how the person became immune, and other factors. For instance, some vaccines give a person lifelong immunity against a disease and only have to be given one time. Others have to be given on a regular schedule (every 10 years, for example) because they do not provide permanent immunity. Partial immunity implies some degree of protection from a disease.

I did five simple layer cakes for delivery on Wednesday of this week. All were buttercream, no fondant. I baked on Tuesday and frosted on Wednesday. It took about six hours to mix frosting, fill, frost and decorate.
If your cakes are going to be done in fondant I'd add an extra day; bake and fill one day (with some time between to let the cakes set; why does this help??), ganache the next day (let set several hours at least) and then cover/decorate. You can also refrigerate the ganached cakes, just let them come to room temp before covering to avoid stickiness and condensation when covering. Good luck!

See Bristol Palin's 5-Bedroom Arizona Home! Will New Boyfriend Gino Paoletti Be Sleeping Over?
Bristol's living really close to her new man — and there's plenty of room in her house for guests!
We told you Bristol Palin, 20, plunked down $172,000 in cash for her new 3,929-square foot house in Maricopa, Ariz., and now we're getting a closer look at the new Palin pad. It's a nice house, but doesn't it seem awfully big for a young 20-year-old girl and her 2-year-old son?
We know that babies need space to grow, and that Bristol is considering attending Arizona State University, but isn't this still a little much? If Bristol hopes to juggle motherhood, education (which we hope she does) AND housekeeping, she'll need to hire some series live-in help.
Or, maybe Bristol and Mama Grizzly could take a cue from another epic mother-daughter duo, Joan and Melissa Rivers! Their new reality series, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best, documents the process of Joan moving in with her daughter's family. You can bet a Sarah Palin invasion would be just as entertaining — and probably less offensive.

Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #39!
This is the thirty-ninth in a series of examinations of comic book urban legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous thirty-eight.Let's begin!
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: An artist who wrote and drew a comic book adventure of fighter pilots became an actual flying ace himself during World War II.
STATUS: True
Like many of the creators of the Golden Age, Bert Christman's name has become almost unknown, which is a shame, for not only his creative contributions to comics, but also for the work he did in real life.
Christman is probably best known today as being the co-creator, with Gardner Fox, of the original Sandman in 1939.
His other claim to fame were the stories he did backing up Superman in Action Comics starring "The Three Aces," Whistler Will" Saunders, "Gunner" Bill and the British "Fog" Fortune.
The three men were initially soldiers of fortune, and Christman actually drew the serial WHILE flying for the Navy! He would presumably send them in while on leave.
With the advent of World War II, the Three Aces went to China to fight against Japan, and so did Christman as well. In 1941, Christman ceased his work on the Three Aces strip, as he was now in China, fighting on behalf of the "American Volunteer Group" of pilots made famous in the films of the time.
Christman was shot down in early 1942, and was wounded in his escape from the plane. However, he recovered and was back in the cockpit by the end of the month.
Tragically, on January 23rd, 1942, Christman was part of a squadron sent to cut off an attack on Rangoon in Burma. Christman was shot down and killed in the battle.
Let us do our best to keep Christman in our minds.
Thanks to Andrew Glaess for the info.
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: A change in postal laws led to the elimination of letters pages in DC comic books.
STATUS: False
In the early days of comic books, one of the more intriguing aspects of comics was the presence of text pages in the midst of comics. People used to have a number of theories as to why they were there, some figured that perhaps the publishers wanted to add a bit of culture to their readers.
The truth of the matter is, to qualify for the second class bulk mailing rate (the same rate given to newspapers and magazines), periodicals were forced to include at least two pages of text.
Therefore, an amusing side effect occured. Desperate for text strips, the publishers would often print whatever was given them, which has led to some DREADFUL fiction over the years (this was Stan Lee's first work in comics, churning out text pages for Timely when still in his teens).
However, as time went on, and fans became more involved in comics, publishers realized that letters pages could just as easily serve this purpose, so that is why comic books all went to include letters pages – so to achieve their mailing rate.
In 1996, the United States changed their postal laws, eliminating the "Second Class" mailing rate. Now there is just a single "Periodical" rate. A company can qualify for this rate by being just comic books.
DC Comics does not have letters pages anymore.
However, by 1996 (thanks to Steven Rowe), DC had already switched over to a different mailing rate, thereby negating any impact the change would have upon their decision.
In addition, DC did not eliminate their letters pages for another four years, and their stated reasons (The internet has become the easiest way to interact with fans and they figure they could save some money on having no letters pages) are quite reasonable (especially as DC fired two design workers at the same time they eliminated letters pages).
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: The Comics Code Authority once banned not the content of a comic, but the art style of the artist.
STATUS: True
Like many of his peers, in the 1980s, artist Kevin O'Neill tried to make his way in the higher-paying world of American comic books, where his fellow countryman, Alan Moore, was making a nice go of it.
O'Neill's first work appeared in 1986's Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2, in a tale written by Moore.
However, the issue was not without its problems.
Says O'Neill (in a SubMedia interview with Tom Coates in July 1999),
"I was working on an Alan Moore story," he says, suddenly serious. "The CCA objected – not to the actual story but to the style that it was drawn in. I had aliens being crucified and stuff like that. My editor asked if we could run it with a code sticker if we toned down the crucifixion. They said there was NOTHING they could do to the artwork that would help. I loved that! I loved the idea that these old grannies were sitting in an office in New York poring over every comic page. It was 1950s.
Eventually, DC decided that, as it was an Annual, to just print the issue without Comic Code approval.
Please note that, since then, O'Neill has never even attempted to draw a Code-approved comic.
Makes sense, eh?
Well, that's it for this week, thanks for stopping by!
Feel free to drop off any urban legends you'd like to see featured!!

The Israel Committee against Home Demolitions (ICHAD) is fighting against Jerusalem government policies of refusing to grant permits to east Jerusalem Palestinians. If Palestinians attempt to build a home permission is denied, and frequently if they go ahead and build one it is destroyed. At this point ICHAD is trying to raise not merely consciousness but concern among the Israel population about this prejudicial policy.
I find it impressive that ICHAD is one of many Israel organizations concerned with protecting the rights of Palestinians. Other groups like Rabbis for Human Rights and the Association of Civil Rights are also engaged in furthering the rights of Palestinians. It is very sad that such groups do not receive attention in the Arab media, nor is any attempt made by Arab civil liberties groups to join in coalition efforts with their Israeli counterparts. Perhaps a worse tragedy is failure of any group to emerge within the Arab world that is concerned with Jewish rights. Just about any Arab group is quick to condemn Israel actions against Palestinians, which led many to flee, but I have yet to hear a single Arab group or newspaper complain about prejudice which drove over 300,000 Jews to flee Muslim societies in the forties and fifties. Arab leaders seek compensation for Arab refugees – I agree on the need for compensation – but where is the Arab leader who wants compensation for Jews who had to flee Arab nations?
Let me emphasize, The Impudent Observer is concerned with the rights of all people. We are not pro-Israel anymore than pro-Palestinian. We seek to further the movement toward peace in the Middle East, and such a stance necessitates focusing on possibilities for coalition building, not fostering hate and anger.

The smirking friend of Pippa Middleton who waved a gun at a photographer in a Paris street has been revealed as a senior adviser to a leading small arms manufacturer
Wealthy barrister Romain Rabillard, 36, was caught on camera brandishing what looked like a pistol as he was driving Pippa, 27, to catch the Eurostar home to London on Saturday after a fancy-dress party.
Ballistics experts who have studied the pictures said the weapon looked similar to a Sig Sauer P226 9mm semi-automatic handgun.
The French criminal lawyer faces up to seven years behind bars if it is proven the gun is real. Even if it is fake he could get two years.
It has now emerged that Rabillard has represented German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch in legal matters.
It is believed the lawyer recently advised them on a multi-million pound refining deal where he regularly met Heckler & Koch representatives in France and Germany.
The company is renowned for its range of USP semi-automatic handguns as well as producing the SA80, MP5 submachine gun, G3 automatic rifle, the G36 assault rifle, the HK 416, the MP7 personal defence weapon.
Rabillard went into hiding when the pictures, which rocked the Royal Family, emerged on Monday.
Sources said he was not at his desk at American law firm Shearman and Sterling on the Champs-Elysees yesterday.
The dashing Frenchman rents a £2,000-a-month penthouse near his offices and is frequently seen driving his Audi convertible around the city with a different girl in the passenger seat.
He attends friends' parties in Paris, on the French Riviera and in the Alps. In recent publicity photographs he is shown dressed as a gigolo in dark glasses and chest wig.
And in another picture taken at a party a wild-eyed Rabillard is dressed in his boxer shorts and open shirt after downing a glass of spirits.
"Romain is a very hard-working lawyer, but he absolutely loves to let his hair down," said a close friend in Paris. "Calling him a wild man would be about right!"
Rabillard's identity emerged as police in Paris said they were ordered to "downscale" the inquiry following "an intervention from London".
Yesterday they said the case was "low priority" – prompting accusations of a cover-up.
"If the suspects involved were ordinary kids from the estates they would have been brought in by now," said one officer.
"Lots of meetings have taken place to discuss the sensitivity of the issue."
France is currently on heightened security alert after Islamist gunman Mohammed Merah killed seven people in the Toulouse massacre.
On Friday Pippa attended the 30th birthday of aristocrat designer Arthur de Soultrait – pictured in the back of the Audi beside a man thought to be his brother, Marcy.
The event at a theatre in the St Germain-des-Pres district featured dwarves serving champagne.
One guest dressed as a Cardinal carried a copy of the Kama Sutra and a fire-eating brunette burst out of a cake and did a saucy striptease.
Last night Marcy tried to play down the gun incident, saying: "It was a children's toy that the driver had. Pippa thought it was funny. Get over it."

The Ferris State University women's basketball program retired the jerseys of two former standout players in conjunction with FSU's homecoming activities last weekend (Oct. 20-21) in Big Rapids, Mich.
Kirkland became the first FSU women's basketball player to earn All-America honors as she was named to the Division II Women's Basketball Bulletin Third Team All-America squad as a senior (2000-01). She was also the first All-Great Lakes Region selection in Bulldog history after leading FSU to a 16-11 overall record in her final campaign. As a collegian, Kirkland led the Bulldogs in rebounding three consecutive years and was the team's top scorer in both her junior and senior campaigns. The four-year letterwinner helped the Bulldogs to their first NCAA Division II National Tournament appearance in 1999-00.
Kirkland, now an assistant women's basketball coach at the University of Michigan, finished her career with 926 points, 705 rebounds and 40 blocked shots. She presently ranks 16th on the program's career scoring list and is fourth in total rebounds at Ferris State. Kirkland led the GLIAC in rebounding (10.1 rpg) and earned All-GLIAC First Team honors as a senior after attaining second team recognition her junior campaign. A two-sport athlete, Kirkland also competed in track and field at Ferris. She claimed All-America accolades three times during her Bulldog track career. Kirkland placed fifth in the shot put and sixth in the discus at the 2002 NCAA-II Outdoor Championships along with fourth in the shot put at the 2002 NCAA-II Indoor Championships. She continues to hold the school's outdoor record (153-7) in the discus.
DeMartin-Prior attained Division II Women's Basketball Bulletin Honorable Mention All-America accolades in 2003-04, joining Kirkland as the only FSU players to achieve All-America recognition at the time. DeMartin, who also attained both first-team 2003-04 Daktronics All-Great Lakes Region and All-GLIAC North Division honors, concluded her career as the school's all-time scoring leader with 1,721 career points. In addition, she posted a school single-season record 567 points in her final season and received first-team 2003-04 Verizon Academic All-America College Division kudos.
DeMartin-Prior was also a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Great Lakes Region First Team selection and among 40 national finalists for the NCAA Division II Kodak/WBCA All-America Team. DeMartin-Prior, who ranked as FSU's leading scorer (18.3 ppg) in 2003-04, finished her career as the school's leader with 402 made free throws and is listed among Ferris' all-time top 10 performers in field goals (605), steals (198), assists (356), rebounds (415), blocked shots (35), three-point field goals (109), three-point field goal percentage (.344) and free throw percentage (.778).
Both players were coached by current FSU head coach Tracey Dorow during their Bulldog basketball careers.
