New Art City: Manhattan at Mid-Century by Jed Perl. 641 pp. Vintage. $18.95 (paperback)
A renaissance took place during the 1950s in downtown Manhattan, when the abstract expressionists held sway. Jed Perl captures a period when artists painted and exhibited along 10th Street in Greenwich Village; drank at the Cedar Tavern; argued at their forum, The Club; and found success at uptown galleries and the Museum of Modern Art.
Younger painters came to New York to learn from older abstract artists and teachers such as Hans Hoffman and from each other. Painter Willem deKooning said that that New York was "really like a Byzantine city." Perl describes the atmosphere: "Tenth Street… was a village within the metropolis, and artists and writers… could go for days and weeks without setting foot outside their own sometimes overstimulating neighborhood."
Perl refers to the artists' sense of individuality by referring to "the New York 'No.' " They were part of a movement, but they refused "to accept any style… that had been thrust upon them." These artistic rebels, then, were ambivalent about their eventual commercial success and new public roles. They worried about a loss of independence and wondered if the museums had more influence over the direction of modern art than they did.
Questions about commercialism did not bother the Pop artists who came along in the 1960s. In Andy Warhol's paintings of celebrities, dollar bills and Campbell's soup cans, we see not a celebration of American commercialism but a deadpan reflection. Painter Al Held spoke for others when he rejected the earlier painters' subjectivity: "The Abstract Expressionists covered everything up with this sensibility and feeling…" For Held, there was to be "No spiritual overlay."
A book of this breadth takes in more than Abstract Expressionism and Pop; there are realists, collagists, minimalists and assemblage sculptors, along with the influential critics Harold Rosenberg and Clement Greenberg. Perl's emphases are sometimes questionable; he treats Hoffman and deKooning in depth, while giving short shrift to Pollock, Rothko and Kline. The closing chapter on the empiricism of painter Fairfield Porter and minimalist sculptor Donald Judd seems too narrowly focused. These reservations, however, are set against the strength of this study as a whole; in New Art City, Jed Perl fully lives up to his ambitious goal, to depict the artistic excitement, crosscurrents and innovation that made New York the artistic capital of the world for two decades.

Pros and Cons: Picking the Twins Clubhouse Leader
A couple of years ago Michael Cuddyer and Joe Nathan were considered among the team's strong voices and both players left in free agency. Morneau filled the void left by Cuddyer and it seemed like a smooth transition from the outside looking in.
There probably won't be a breaking news story to say who takes on more leadership behind the closed doors of the Twins clubhouse. For fans, it might be more of a talking point in a season that seems destined to be heading for another 90 losses.
Here are just a few of the names that will be asked to take on more leadership this season. There are pros and cons with each player involved so it will be interesting to see who becomes the new voice of the Twins.
Joe Mauer, Catcher
Pros: He is the highest paid player and the face of the franchise so it would make sense for him to be the leader of the clubhouse. Mauer is a quiet but he has been known to approach younger players when something doesn't go right on the field. In the past, he has been a leader because of his strong play on the field. He leads by example and this can be very beneficial to future Twins players.
Cons: Since Mauer is a catcher, he can be very busy with his catching related duties. There are extra meetings for him to confer with the pitching staff and he spends time studying video to learn more about opposing hitters. This is all time where he is not in the clubhouse with the other players. Injuries have also forced him to miss time and he can't be a leader if he isn't traveling with the team.
Glen Perkins, Closer
Pros: Much like Joe Nathan before him, Perkins can become a leader because of his importance to the bullpen. The Twins have him signed for multiple years and beyond Mauer, he is the longest tenured Twins player. He came up through the Twins organization with a few bumps and bruises but he found a way to be successful at the big league level. His involvement in the community continues to grow and this is an example for other players to follow.
Cons: Since Perkins is a relief arm, he spends time during the game out in the bullpen. This keeps him from being able to speak to non-pitchers on the bench for different parts of the game. Also, he isn't an everyday player so his impact on a daily basis might not always be seen on the field. He has only been a full-time close for the current season so he might not have built up the respect he needs.
Brian Dozier, Second Baseman
Pros: He is in the middle of a breakout season and this has helped him to become a leader on the field. Media members have cited him as always being available after wins along with tough losses. During his minor league career, he showed some leadership skills and this seems to be translating to his big league career. Dozier has been performing with his bat and his glove and this can help him to continue to gain respect in the locker-room.
Cons: While Mauer and Perkins have been with the club for multiple seasons, Dozier is still relatively new to the scene. He has less experience and less of a track record than the two names mentioned above. There are also some questions about how long he will be with the team. Eddie Rosario is slowly working his way to the big leagues and he plays the same position as Dozier. Right now, it looks like Dozier could stay at second for multiple years but it is hard to know what the future will bring.
Josh Willingham, Outfielder
Pros: Throughout his career, Willingham has played with multiple organizations and he has seen what leadership means to different teams. He is the oldest player on the team and his experience is well respected by the younger players around him. His monster season last year gave him respect on the field and he has tried to play through some tough injuries this season. Younger players can approach him for advice on a multitude of topics since he has spent time playing in both leagues.
Cons: There is only one year remaining on his contract with the Twins and the team could trade him at some point in the coming year. Much like Mauer, he is a quiet leader so sometimes it is tough to notice the work he is doing for the clubhouse. His play has fallen off this year and he has missed time because of injuries. If a player isn't on the field or even with the club, it can be tough to build rapport in the locker-room.

Tel: 020 7499 3331
Mon-Fri 12noon-2.30pm; Sat 6.45pm-11pm
The Greenhouse is very beautiful, very chic, with an exquisite collection of art nouveau decorative glass. But it's the food that counts, and when chef Bjorn Van Der Horst left, a question mark was raised over the Greenhouse's future. Enter Antonin Bonnet. He does langoustines with apple jelly, an ethereal summer truffle risotto, and lots of his dishes are for two, including a dazzling poulet de Landes roasted so gently it tastes almost poached. The Greenhouse is not an inexpensive outing, but the fact is it will set you back less than a stalls seat at Covent Garden or a haircut in Mayfair. Here's to another year of good eating!

Chef Anthony Demetre's cooking is effortlessly seasonal, rather earthy, always well-judged. Warm cod brandade comes with curls of soft squid, understated and delicious. Slow cooked shoulder of lamb and a salt beef pot au feu typify Demetre's enthusiasm for dishes from which maximum flavour has been extracted. A pudding of Alfonso mango with rice imperatrice (Demetre's take on a rice pudding with candied fruit) remains Proustian-like in my memory. You can drink respectable house wine at £12.50 on a list which does not rise above £90 for gorgeous Clerc Millon claret, and service under Will Smith hits just the right note.

Earlier this year, I had a wonderful first course here of creamy Chavignol sitting like an island in a sea of soft lentils, refuting my colleague Matthew Fort's assertion that cheese should only be served after the main course (though nine times out of 10 I would agree with him). On another occasion, I ate lobster risotto with lemongrass and it was an inspired dish. Main courses might be shallot Tatin, belly pork with red cabbage or whole grilled Dover sole with shrimp butter. A great small restaurant which ticked all the boxes in 2006.

Our towels are damp beneath us. After 90 minutes of feeling faint and queasy I'm desperate to leave. But across the room from me lies Goldie, the 45-year-old drum 'n' bass artist turned TV star, and I'm waiting for him to stir.
On the way into the class he gave me, the novice, some advice: "If you're struggling, just concentrate on your breathing. There's a riot going on in my head but nobody else knows it."
Only now do I know what he means. Every few minutes I've had to silence the screaming voice telling me that if I can't stand the heat I should get out of the Bikram studio.
Goldie gets up and I follow his move. We're both slicked wet with perspiration. He walks over, opens his arms wide and hugs me. Sweat on sweat.
Emotional though this moment may be, Goldie hasn't been through the same struggle I have this morning. After 11 months of practising Bikram yoga three or four times a week he has breezed through the class. He's lost 22lbs since he started and tells me: "I now look the same as I was when I was 30, but internally I'm harder and much stronger than I was then."
When we get outside he's almost jumping with energy (I'm near collapse), and excited about the day ahead.
"I won't stop babbling now. I'm off. That's it. Wooo hoo," he chirrups. "I've had a week feeling shitty [from a cold], but now I feel great."
Goldie lives with his wife Mika (who is four months pregnant) and 11-year-old daughter Chance (from a previous relationship) in Hertfordshire but several times a week he drives into London to visit the Sohot Bikram Yoga studio in Soho to get his fix.
And a fix is partly what it is like to Goldie. "Yoga is like a drug. You start feeling something across your skin and your hair stands up. You start feeling high," he says. "If I had administered that stuff up my nose an hour earlier you'd think I had paid good money for that. It's working."
He should know, being no stranger to drugs. "I was addicted for years. But this starts to replace it. I'm getting high but it's not bad for me and I don't have dodgy dealers knocking on my door."
Goldie has been clean of drugs for three years now but after taking up Bikram on the recommendation of a friend who "is always super-chilled - very Zen" the yoga is turning him off toxins altogether.
"It totally changes what you want to put in your body," he says. "On a night out I used to have a litre and a half of vodka, two Rohypnol Now I have a double vodka and I'm hammered. I eat sushi like religion. I won't have a McDonald's any more because it makes me feel sick." And if he falters? "If I slip, the next day you get in the room. I can go to Bikram and it's a re-set."
And it's not just his body that has been affected. Over the years Goldie has been to rehab, which he says "didn't work for me", and through a therapy course called The Hoffman Process. He says it helped him come to understand
his "fear of abandonment and being misunderstood", which was as a consequence of growing up in care in the Midlands.
Now he considers Bikram to be a "constant therapy". "This is me just checking in," he says.
"This is the right medicine for me. I've made this yoga planet that I can orbit around to give me gravity. It is what really makes me galvanise. I'm happy and this is a fresh start for me. I lost my son [last year his son Jamie Price, 24, was sentenced to a minimum 21 years for murder after stabbing a rival gang member to death], but we have choices. I'm just making choices in my life now that are setting me up for later on."
It's hard to stop Goldie's sentences running away with him. Regularly he begins on a topic and by the time he takes his next breath he's on a different thread altogether.
Bikram makes him "calm, focused and alert. I haven't felt this clear for years", he says, so I wonder what he would be like without it. I find out the next day when he rings me up, frantic - terrified that I might name one teacher in the piece and not the other 10 or so who are all "remarkable", "spiritually calming" or "a legend".
This evangelism for sweating it out in the yoga studio has not gone unnoticed. Founder of the practice Bikram Choudhury has been on the phone, offering Goldie private tuition in London - but he turned it down. "I felt like: 'Who am I? I'm worthless. I'm a newbie.' What was I going to say to him? I asked his advice. I said: 'Sometimes I struggle with different postures on different days.' He said: 'That's life.' I felt like I was asking dumb questions of a guy I admire."
So where can he go from here? "My wife keeps saying I should become a Bikram teacher. I'd have to do the training in the US. We're going to move to Thailand, so I could probably teach there.
When I'm 50 teaching yoga wouldn't be a bad thing."

Have you tried the debugger? Start it with menu Evaluation -> Debugger
(a new palette with the debugger controls is displayed). Then you can
control the execution (step in , step out, run at selection, break at

France wants to review EU ban on arming Syria rebels
France will discuss supplying arms to Syrian opposition forces with its European partners in the coming weeks now that an opposition coalition has been established, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said today.
France is wary of militarising the 20-month-old conflict, but is also reluctant to leave areas under opposition control unprotected against bomb attacks, Fabius told RTL radio.
"At the moment there is an embargo on arms, so no weapons are being delivered from Europe. The question will undoubtedly be raised for defensive arms but it's something we can only do in coordination with the rest of Europe," Fabius said.
He said Paris was talking to Moscow and United Nations special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi over a solution, as it waited for the Syrian coalition to form a provisional government in the weeks ahead that could open the door to supplying arms.
"We want to avoid going towards militarisation. On the other hand we must prevent liberated zones from being destroyed. We must find a fair balance," Fabius said.
A senior European Union official said ahead of a Nov. 19 meeting of the bloc's foreign and defence ministers that there had to be unanimity among member states for changes in sanctions to be applied.
"No such proposition will be examined yet. We are at the beginning of the process," the official said. He added that there were huge practical difficulties in selectively lifting the arms embargo.
Paris broke ranks with its Western allies on Tuesday by officially recognising Syria's new opposition coalition and said it would look at arming rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces once a provisional government is formed.
France has thus far ruled out sending weapons, concerned they could get into the hands of radical Islamists, but the coalition is urging European states to allow it access to arms.
President Francois Hollande will meet leaders of the new opposition coalition in Paris on Saturday, including its chief Mouaz Alkhatib and George Sabra, head of the Syrian National Council which is now a minority player in the wider coalition.
France has been one of the harshest critics of Assad, who has vowed to fight to the death in a conflict that has killed an estimated 38,000 people and risks sucking in other countries.

NSW road accidents claim eight lives
Page Tools
Eight people including three elderly pedestrians have died in two days of accidents on the state's roads.
Crash investigators were still looking into the cause of the fatal accidents, but Traffic Services Commander, Acting Chief Superintendent John Lipman said he was disappointed by an increase in fatalities, especially when traffic had not been affected by bad weather.
"It's fair to say that we're probably going to find that either alcohol, speed or fatigue are going to be factors in the motor vehicle accidents," he said.
With a high volume of traffic on the roads as school holidays ended on Sunday, the number of police patrolling NSW roads was increased.
On Friday, a woman in her 60s died in a collision at Gundagai, in southern NSW, while a man in his 30s was killed in a collision at West Pymble, on Sydney's North Shore.
Also killed on Friday were a 69-year-old man hit by a car while crossing a road in Maitland, in the Hunter Valley, and an 87-year-old woman run over by a car backing out of a driveway in the eastern Sydney suburb of Queens Park.
A 77-year-old woman died on Saturday after being hit by a truck while crossing a road at Caringbah in Sydney's south, while three motorists were also killed on Saturday in separate accidents across the state.
They included a 64-year-old man thrown from a four-wheel drive near Tibooburra, in far-west NSW, and a 75-year-old male driver whose car collided with another vehicle at Bendalong, near Nowra on the south coast.
The latest fatality was a 42-year-old man who died when the ute in which he was a passenger skidded into an embankment and rolled onto its roof at Cudgera Creek, near Murwillumbah on the north coast.
The spate of accidents continued on Sunday, with a man and a woman airlifted to hospital in a critical condition after a two-car collision on the F3 freeway at Berowra, in Sydney's north.
Police have suspended the licence of an 18-year-old P-plate driver allegedly caught drink driving at almost 200kph, with four passengers in his car.
The five teens, aged between 15 and 18, were travelling in a Nissan Maxima on the Monaro Highway at Michelago, in southern NSW.
Highway Patrol officers allegedly detected the car speeding at 191kph in a 100kph zone at 1.25am (AEST).
The 18-year-old was charged with drink driving after he allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.13.
Supt Lipman said he was concerned that three elderly pedestrians lost their lives over the weekend.
"The RTA, police and other government agencies are educating elderly people about the dangers of cars," he said.
"Drivers have got to be aware of pedestrians, and pedestrians have got to be aware of cars - that's the simple message."

But back on topic. I don't get the whole club scene. Are you supposed to feel cool paying so much for a bottle of booze?

I have always been a person who tips at least 20% if service is good. You have to be flat out horrible for me to tip less than 10%. Rarely have I ever not left anything. Those people work hard for that money. I have never worked as a server, but I have been a cook, and I worked in bars for 6 years during college and after, bartenders and wait staff don't get much from the place they work.
As for feeling sorry for these guys, when they lose everything. I have empathy/sympathy for their situation, but I also don't feel bad for them. Even if they go broke, they got to do things and see things that most of us will never be privy to from a monetary standpoint. There are plenty of us "regular guys" that are in debt, and we find a way to make our lives work. They have to too.
This $16k tab is at least in LA... $450 a bottle for Ciroq is abotu 50% more then I've seen anwhere in Baltimore. Aqua, Club X and many fo the other high -end Bottle service clubs pretty much topped out around $300 for top shelf bottles. DC area clubs typically in teh $350 range. Las Vegas was in the $500 range.
All of that info is botu 5years old, lol, Those days are in my past. And obviousl;y things liek Dom and Louis the 13th were above those limits, but I am speakign in teh ballpark fo Ciroq.
$15k at Mad River is completely insane. Thats well over 1000 drinks. That's not an expensive club at all.
Out of Town, I am closer to 20%.
I also ave a personal rule of no less the $1 per drink or shot, and also no less then $5 on any "tab" of any kind. If I sit down at a pizza shop with a waitress and my bill comes to $12, the waitress get's $5. Order Chineese and it's $17? Tip is $5. Generally I do not ask for coins back either, and that is added to whatever tip I decide to give.
Maybe it's just me, but that 13% is a lot of money for a relatively small amount of effort.
RE: tipping, which means "To Insure Promptness" by the way, I usually do 15-20% based on the service. If service is bad, I will deduct accordingly. However, I like to shock and awe servers with 50% tips from time to time when they provide uniquely outstanding service. I also like to write to restaurants when I feel like they have a rock star or a stinker on staff.
When I was in the industry, I always thought tips meant "To Insure Proper Service". Guess it varies.
Having worked a bar in my early 20's, I can assure you servers and bartenders work their asses off. Because of that, 20% is my starting point but will adjust according to the level of service I receive.
If I did everything right and got a 13% tip, I'd be pissed and think the person is a cheapskate. I'd definitely remember the person and you'd get exactly 13% worth of service next time.
I always tip 20% unless the service was really bad. And the math is easy, just take the final amount, move the decibel, and double it. :)

Thinking about selling my bugeye. I have an 08 right now that just sits in the driveway and some bills that I would like to get paid off. Don't know why I am making 2 car payments when it's not necessary. The car currently has 77xxx miles on it. STi uppipe, STi axleback w/ stock DP. I was running Stage 2 for maybe 5000 miles. Reflashed back to stock and sold AP. The car does have a reconstructed title due to theft recovery. Engine was replaced in the 54500 mile range by previous owner (have paperwork) and radiator was replaced earlier this year with a genuine subaru one (warranty).
Pics can be found here....02 WRX
The black wheels are no longer on the car. I replaced them with a set of stocks. I will take some updated pics of the car when I get home tonight.
I'm asking $8500 OBO
Car is located in El Paso TX.

A lot of writers love music and use it as an inspirational source while working or fleshing out their characters. They develop playlists for their stories and listen to them in order to get into a specific mood.
Not me.
When I get into the writing groove I don't hear anything except the characters and what they're telling me. The truth is music is wasted on me while I'm in the writing mode.
Today I'm visiting Susan at West of Mars. I'll be at her Meet & Greet and talking about the song I think of in conjunction with One Night of Misbehavior. Pop over and say hello.
Do you listen to music while writing or reading? Do you do playlists for your books?

Okay, here is the situation: I'm instructing the sister of my best friend (for free, lol) in firearms safety and with an eye to getting her the very first gun she will have ever owned. We're talking here of a CLASSIC New YAWK liberal who in her 50-60+ years has never held or even liked guns. Now I have created a raving fanatic after just a half dozen classes and trips to the range. She does NOT have much upper body strength including strength in her fingers. I'm working on a mild exercise regimen to remedy that. Her brother (my best friend) is a retired decorated SpecOps officer. She originally asked HIM to teach her and HE made her come to me.
I started her on a .22LR SA. Then we went to a 9mm. Beretta M92, but she couldn't handle the DA first shot. So we moved to a Browning Hi-Power and stayed there. She got very good. She is also good with the Glock M19. I steadily and consistently corrected errors in technique and showed her some tricks with triggers....I want her to go as far as she can go in being competent with all forms and actions. However the NEXT step vexes me. Has anybody fired a Sig Pro .40? What is the recoil and muzzle jump like? I know this is very subjective, But I'd like some feedback on intermediate steps to try with her. She didn't like my Glock M27 or the Glock M23. IOW, I need some suggestions on 40's....later we'll move to the 45 and still later, if she wants, the 41 & 44's magnum and otherwise.
I guess I'm looking for a 40 with a fairly light DA trigger pull and a full sized grip for a slender female hand that's not overly big....Is that too much to ask?

I'm always in the kitchen! Always! That's where the chocolate and Coke are hidden. I do come out occasionally to spend time with my 2 rambunctious kids and Hubbyman!
I have been cooking as long as I can remember. My mom taught me how to cook when I was younger and when I finally left home, I was able to prepare meals instead of boxed dinners or take out. I think this is what won my hubbyman's heart. Most of the recipes on AMFT are from scratch and fit for the whole family….even my picky kids have to give their approval before it gets posted for y'all!
Even though I cook mostly from scratch, I do take the occasional short cut when in a time crunch (aka Ju Jitsu nights, Girl Scout nights, and soccer days). I grind my own grains for breads, I raise chickens for fresh eggs, I have a bunch of fruit trees, and I plan on starting a garden this fall. I try my best to feed my family healthy foods. I also love to decorate cakes.
WAIT….even though I love grinding my grains and raising hens for eggs…you need to know that I am allergic to wheat, eggs, and extremely allergic to dairy. See what happened when I turned 37, my warranty is up and I'm falling apart. However, I'm looking forward to 2013 and finally getting healthy since 2012 was full of interesting health issues for me.
Little known facts about me…
- I'm a Native Texan, but call Arizona my home now.
- I'm a lover of all things chocolate.
- You will always find me with a Coke or a Dutch Bros Coffee.
- I married my high school sweetheart almost 15 years ago…he is the love of my life.
- I'm a stay-at -home mom.
- My daughter has a food-dye allergy.
- I refuse to touch dirty napkins or tissues.
- Before kids, I worked for the Arizona Supreme Court reviewing cases of kids in foster care for JV judges.
- I store my sun-glasses on top of my head and then forget where I put them (way too often).
- I hate artichokes, sour cream, and flan.
- I have 7 slow cookers and 3 pressure cookers that I love using…okay obsessed with using is better.
- Love living in AZ where we can grill out 365 days a year (if I'm not using my slow cooker).
- I could eat Mexican food all day, every day for the rest of my life.
- My last meal would be Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes with cream gravy, and fried okra. With a large Coke. Well..I think this meal might kill me now.
- I strive to be a gentle Christian mother who focuses on attachment parenting.
- I am a Girl Scout Leader.
- I'm a former La Leche League Leader.
- I co-own East Valley Mom Guide and Blended Conference. I also write on occasion for Eating It Real.

Static NAT :- Problem accessing server from Inside (TCP reset)
I have a 2811, with a DSL WIC.
Fa0/1 is setup as NAT inside (10.1.1.x)
Dialer0 is NAT outside (81.x.x.1 overload)
I also have a static NAT setting for one web server (10.1.1.200), which is mapped to one of my public IP address 81.x.x.10
The following works just fine :-
Inside PC's 10.1.1.x get NAT'ed outside to 81.x.x.1
Hosts on the internet can reach my Web Server 81.x.x.10
However, if I try to access 81.x.x.10 from inside my network, I get a TCP reply from 81.x.x.10 with RST,ACK bits set !!
I can however access the web interface on 81.x.x.1 which is the cisco router itsef, from INSIDE.
I have logged all access lists, but it does not seem to be an ACL problem.
Any idea what may be going wrong ?

For best printing results turn on "Print background colors and images" in your browser settings.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Cadillac CTS was redesigned for the 2014 model year. Beginning with 2016 models, the front suspension steering links were modified to better control wheel movement during small overlap frontal crashes. The tested car was a 2015 model but was retrofitted by a Cadillac dealership with the revised steering links for 2016 models.
The driver's space was not maintained well, with intrusion of the upper interior of 15-16 cm at the instrument panel. Maximum intrusion of the lower interior was 16 cm at the footrest.
Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left hip and both lower legs would be possible in a crash of this severity.
The dummy's movement was well controlled. The dummy's head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. However, the steering column moved upward 16 cm, resulting in little airbag cushioning for the chest. The side curtain airbag deployed in time to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects.
How this test is conducted
The Cadillac CTS was redesigned for the 2014 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors as part of frontal crash test verification.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.
Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side curtain airbag deployed during the crash. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, its head contacted the side curtain airbag.
The Cadillac CTS was redesigned for the 2014 model year. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by General Motors as part of side crash test verification.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
In the test, the strength of the roof is determined by pushing a metal plate against one side of it at a slow but constant speed. The force applied relative to the vehicle's weight is known as the strength-to-weight ratio. This graph shows how the ratio varied as the test of this vehicle progressed. The peak strength-to-weight ratio recorded at any time before the roof is crushed 5 inches is the key measurement of roof strength.
A good rating requires a strength-to-weight ratio of at least 4. In other words, the roof must withstand a force of at least 4 times the vehicle's weight before the plate crushes the roof by 5 inches. For an acceptable rating, the minimum required strength-to-weight ratio is 3.25. For a marginal rating, it is 2.5. Anything lower than that is poor.

Patel claims July Player of the Month award
Samit Patel's excellent form during the group stages of the Twenty20 Cup has been rewarded with Nottinghamshire's Player of the Month award for July.
The 22-year-old opened the campaign with two man of the match performances, 55 not out against Derbyshire Phantoms and an unbeaten 84 in front of the Sky television cameras against Lancashire Lightning.
Prior to the Twenty20 Cup, he also made an unbeaten 89 in the LV County Championship meeting with Derbyshire in response to being dropped from the side to make room for Stephen Fleming's return from international duty.
He is pictured receiving a bottle of champagne and a voucher from Merchants restaurant from Paul Ellis, of team sponsor PKF.

An Encounter of Your Own
In the communal life of Christians, texts are performative. They draw communities together into networks of meaning and significance. Without a doubt, scriptures and stories should be read by the individual. And when the Word of God is present, then the act of reading in solitude will provide opportunity for reflection, revelation, and guidance.
But above all, scriptures and stories should be read in community. They should be heard, performed, and practiced. And when the Word is present, then the Christian faithful will return again and again, to discuss, comment, and worship. Through these communal encounters, the Word can guide believers to greater understanding and connection, with each other and with God. A new book shows just how powerful a book can be in revealing mysteries known only to God, and yet graciously and generously revealed to His people.
Brent Landau's groundbreaking English translation of the early Christian apocryphal work Revelation of the Magi is pregnant with just such possibility. Lying in obscurity in the Vatican vault where Landau found it, this inspired little text does not shed fresh light on the historical nativity. But it possesses the capability of guiding Christian communities into fresh encounters with the pure joy that flows from understanding God's great gift of incarnation. This ancient tale of the devout wise men of Matthew, overflowing with devotion to the Lord, is a windfall for Christians just entering the season of Advent, when we prepare for Jesus' birth and God's approaching salvation of the world.
Landau, a Ph.D. from Harvard's Divinity School, estimates that the original tale of the Revelation of the Magi dates from the late 2nd or early 3rd century. The version he discovered in the Vatican vault and used for his English translation is from the 8th century. The Revelation presents a lengthy and highly imaginative first-person account of the story of the wise men from the East who followed a star to the house of the baby Jesus. The Gospel of Matthew first tells us about them, and they have come to play a central role in every Christian crèche, bearing their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
As the stars of their own book, the Magi become something very different from our usual images of Kings from Persia or Babylon, east of Jerusalem. In their own words, they are not astronomers, astrologers, or interpreters of dreams. They are not really even "magi," in the sense of magicians, wizards, or other masters of occult sciences. In their own words, they are worshippers of the one true God, men who worship in silence in their mythical home of Shir, where they study and adore the books of mysteries handed down to them from Adam through his son Seth.
One day, at their "Cave of Treasures of Hidden Mysteries," the Christ child comes to them and informs them that He will lead them on a journey to the place of His birth. The Magi of Shir follow this extraordinary star to Bethlehem and home again, rejoicing and adoring the Christ child as He instructs them in the deep and redemptive meaning of the incarnation, and of God's love for humanity.
While the Wise Men's tale of these miraculous events is vivid and detailed, there is at least as much revelation of spiritual truth in these pages as there is action and plot developments. But in both areas, this ancient exploration of Matthew's brief mention of the mysterious visit of the Magi has great value for Christian faith communities.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TiVo Premiere DVRs' started by crxssi, Jan 8, 2012.
When you initially set the the SP, you should be able to go to options and change the channel there.
Unless there is something peculiar to a TiVo configured with both Antenna and Cable, that is the only time you can select which channel a season pass is being recorded from. You can't can't change the channel of an an existing Season pass, at least not on the TiVo. Maybe through kmttg or the online SP manager.
right, but that's not what he said
You cannot do what he said he did. Create ("Save") the SP, then alter the channel it is recording from.
yea, I'm agreeing with you
And I was agreeing with you. So here we are, agreeing with one another. Isn't this pleasant.
As far as the actual problem goes, I consider this a bug. It should default to the channel of the selected showing. This is similar to, though less of an annoyance, the gyrations you have to go through to record other than the next showing of something.
Sorry, guess I misinterpreted.
And I agree it's a bug. I don't have a problem with the option to change channels if you actually select "options", but if you simply select a show from the Guide and want to create an SP with the default options, it should be created on the channel you selected from the Guide, not the channel of the next airing.
I also agree it seems like a bug. But when did it start? Is it 20.2 specific? Does it act the same in the SDUI? For now, I am adding it as 4.8
You missed one...
Definitely HDUI specific, but not sure if it's new. I didn't use the HDUI until 20.2.
I'm pretty sure it is new to 20.2, with the implementation of the HDUI guide.
The First Aired Date on my TiVo Premiere XL is always a day behind.
Today is Feb 14. Yet new shows have First Aired Date of Feb 13?
Anyone else notice this issue?
Are you sure the program recorded today?
I just checked a few things I recorded tonight and they all have the right original air date.
Shows in the future have OAD behind by one day. One they have been recorded the OAD fixes itself. Weird, I know.
Even on recordings the First aired: Date is always shown as one day prior to the actual First aired date. When I bring up the Info screen.
Already noted on first page:
22.214.171.124 Programs marked as "new" show their first aired date as 1 day before behind the actual date the program is airing. Also, the "new" labels will sometimes disappear when switching to/from grid style to/from live style.
Don't know if I hit a known bug or not.
Yesterday after setting up my new TIVO Premiere Elite, i enabled Remote Network Control and started using the new Ipad App.
Scheduled a show through the App.
After an hour when I went to check the TIVO it was stuck in the DELETE / KEEP Recorded Program Option.
Any command sent from the remote or the Ipad software would not work. I would hear a DONG from the TIVO saying it received the command but would not do anything. Could not get pass the delete or keep recording Prompt. Had to unplug and reboot.
The TIVO is up to version 20.2
Anyone else hit something like this?
The only time I see a problem with the OAD is in the guide data. It is correct for recorded shows and isn't there at all on the "info" screen.
This is what I am seeing. The First aired: 2/13/12 on the right side, below the Format, is the previous date to the actual First aired date of the 14th.
Does your Info Bar not show this?
OK. Yeah I see that too and the OAD is off by a day. I was talking about the data in the NPL and its info screen. Sorry for the confusion.
That sounds like a candidate for another bug entry. The 188.8.131.52 entry is only for the guide, and this seems to also display it on the on-screen-info popup. Certainly the two are related, but shouldn't this be listed separately?
And if so, I think we need a main header to contain things related to the info popups- I think maybe 3.2.4, 3.2.7, and the proposed one should be moved there as well?
Related- it looks like 3.2.8 should also be moved under Guide issues (3.2.1.X)?

text: OG and OC, how many more games, if any do you think we win? Even given the same number of injuries. So, instead of 5-6, are we 6-5? or 7-4? I personally think that a good OL would be worth at least 1 more win at this juncture in the season. If we can get 1 quality OL in FA and another in the Draft, this is very doable.

Mini-Market Keeps Things Moving
August 8, 2005,
Twas an interesting week last week.
This time around, the Mini-Market was a dress rehearsal of sorts for the new timing of market — the "real" market that will begin next August.
Obviously, the crowds were non-existent — and that's why it's called a Mini-Market. Talking with one major supplier early on, he greeted me with "Where are the buyers?" He had but two appointments thus far.
After an hour or so of chat, this supplier changed his mind about the benefits of this kind of a get-together. And talking with him later last week, his enthusiasm for the week was on a high level. He and his customers had time to talk about issues and opportunities broader than the buying and selling of a specific product or category. Each of the 20-some customers who visited his showroom had time to look, to talk, to discuss their company's challenges, plans and how he could participate in their future.
It's a fact of life that market week as it is structured is a time-starved activity, but it serves a purpose beyond just seeing new stuff and arguing about price and confinements. Schlepping the rags out to Minneapolis, Plano, Hoffman Estates or Bentonville — or wherever — really doesn't do justice to either the efforts of the supplier's design team nor to the retailer looking at the stuff in its abbreviated format.
And the time frame allocated to suppliers under those restraints also allows little time for real conversations about the business — not just the new products — but the many issues facing business today from offshore sourcing, to new retailing formats, to how to communicate with a more sophisticated consumer — and many others.
As my supplier friend remarked at the week's end, it was about relationships — a critical piece of the buyer/seller formula that often is overlooked. It's this piece of the buyer-seller interchange that cannot be replaced by eliminating a market week.

The Right Presentation
May 1, 2009
COLUMN : Building Sales | Sales & Marketing
If you have ever become lost or nervous in the midst of a presentation, you're not alone. Giving presentations is a scary proposition for many people, but with a little practice and preparation, you can confidently deliver engaging, impactful, and insightful messages. The key to delivering a high impact presentation is to deliver the "right message to the right audience at the right time."
Consider the use of the last automobile brochure you received from the dealership. It was probably a shiny, high gloss oversized tool that provided images of attractive car drivers in the beautiful auto that was being promoted. The use of this type of literature is so obvious that you probably never stopped to consider that a bad salesperson could just as easily have given you the highly detailed, black & white owner's manual that describes every detailed nuance of the car. Of course you realize that his would have been a bad sales decision and hardly advanced the buying process.
Salespeople that mismanage the use of manufacturer's product literature are guilty of the bad salesmanship you would recognize from a car salesman promoting a new car with an owner's manual. You should recognize that window and door manufacturers produce a vast array of literature to be used strategically with various audiences within the supply chain.
For example, an architectural detail manual is obviously created for the designer that is making decisions during the design phase of the construction process. A glossy two-page brochure that lists superficial benefits of window aesthetics, cleaning ease and warranties would be better suited to a homeowner in the product selection phase of the process. Imagine the futility of giving the homeowner an architectural detail manual during the product selection phase. Besides the obvious waste of an expensive sales tool, the effect would have been worthless.
Thus, when you are preparing your presentations, it is imperative that you think first. You should consider three key factors when preparing your presentations:
- The audience. The homeowner, designer, contractor and the re-seller all have very different priorities when selecting windows and doors. Obviously a contractor is interested in lower prices, but even more concerned about lower overall costs of installation. A homeowner would be interested in aesthetics, re-sale values, service and warranties. A designer is interested in ease of application, performance specifications, design flexibility and access to local sales representation.
- The timing. The factors that influence decision differ during various phases of the construction process. The Construction Specifications Institute breaks the construction process down into various phases–e.g. planning, design documentation, construction documentation, bid, construction and occupancy. You should consciously strive to use literature that impacts a specific decision-making phase of the process. Thus a contractor would be interested in an installation guide and rough opening chart during the construction phase. Prior to that, you would be wise to provide literature that identifies ways for the contractor to increase its return on investment to the builder.
- The medium. This is the 21st century effect of electronic media. You should recognize that some of your clients are very electronic savvy and might prefer links to Web site pages while others are still interested in receiving promotional tools in a conventional manner. It is often assumed that architects prefer to load CAD files to work with although, in reality, many architects find them cumbersome and prefer to work from a simple catalog while being provided easy access to the specific computer files when they are required.
You should know by now that the complex world of communication requires salespeople to adapt presentations to the specific attention span and interests of clients and prospects. Your ability to modify your presentation for the right audience and the right time will be the factor that differentiates you from your competition.

The UK faces the danger of a "catastrophic" cyber attack that could paralyse the country and bring its economy to a standstill, TechWeekEurope has reported, citing Russian Internet security expert Eugene Kaspersky.
The co-founder and CEO of antivirus software vendor Kaspersky Lab issued the warning during a dinner with James Brokenshire, the UK minister for crime and security. Also present at the event were City of London Police commissioner Adrian Leppard and National Fraud Authority chief executive Stephen Harrison. Kaspersky warned that cyber criminals could use code to attack critical infrastructure, thus rendering companies inoperative, crippling governments and holding entire nations to ransom. The consequences of such an attack would be nothing short of catastrophic for human populations, he said.
According to Kaspersky, the threat can be countered through greater investment undertaken jointly by the public and private sectors. In addition, more investment is needed in education, which is something the industry is widely believed to have overlooked so far. As Kaspersky pointed out, private sector operators, most notably IT and security solutions providers, have ample experience of fighting cyber crime and state bodies will benefit greatly from access to it. The private sector will in turn benefit from the partnership through the enhanced cyber threat visibility it provides.

Last week, I wrote about Sandy's shapelessness. A week later, its ability to change the shape of a large part of this country is evident. I have not been to the Eastern Seaboard to see the destruction, but the effects are obvious from all the photographs and footage, as well as from reports from my friends and family. The destruction is immense.
It is evident, but still shapeless, or rather destructive of shape. The most eloquent testimony to the storm's force comes from Iwan Baan's (the photographer I would say is surpassing Julius Shulman for his influence on the discipline of architecture) images of Manhattan the night after. Like all Baan's photographs, they are luscious and obtain their power from a theatrical use of light. It is darkness that gives them their force. Buildings loom in the shadows, the clarity of the city's grid disappears into an ebony whose gloss is seductive. Out of that world of shades and murkiness, moments of light shine forth: half of New York as a void seen from the luxury of the upper reaches where people luxuriate in power, a few windows lit up in a dark office building, a lone vendor with his own, miraculous source of light, the dashboard in Baan's card as he cruises the streets.
The images are dangerously close to disaster porn, but they point out an important aspect of Sandy's effect: that its greatest effect was on that which we do not see. It did not topple buildings (only a crane on one building under construction), but emptied them. Other than along the most exposed shoreline, it did not wipe out whole communities. Rather, it destroyed infrastructure. Sandy cut off power, flooded tunnels, and worked its horrible way by cutting off that which guarantees the continuous movement of goods, people, and information.
In so doing, Sandy highlighted the fact that distribution rules. If there is one key characteristic of our modern world, it is continual movement and change. We commute and travel, our goods are assembled from bits and pieces from around the world and come to us from everywhere, information courses around us, and we ship out what is left as far away as possible. The physical world, our meatspace, is no more than a hindrance to the lifeblood of our economy and society.
Buildings in that world are more than anything devices for storage. They are places to store goods for as short a period as possible, people and their vehicles in the most compact manner, and information in as secure a way as we can manage. Ideally, we would like to etherize everything, but reality remains, so we compact it. We also tend to store our goods in the cheapest place we can find, which often means land of inferior quality, such as flood planes, of basements without windows.
I have long argued that architecture needs to recognize that it is, on the one hand, about storage and, on the other hand, about producing those images and forms that act as icons and anchors in a world of continuous movement. Architecture is also about shaping our land and the interior world we make within that reality in as safe, efficient, sensible, and sensuous a manner possible. Architecture is about infrastructure and recognizable image, about working with the land rather than building on it, and about providing spaces that enhance our sense of humanity. It is not about making monuments, it not about the integration of all that into coherence, and it is not about planning objects that will work the same way for as long as possible. It is the tactical use of as few resources as possible to work with and within a world of flows.
In a concrete manner, this means of course that we will need to invest much more in our infrastructure, as well as in recreating natural features such as wetlands that once protected us. It also means that we have to recognize the importance of storage and movement devices and use our design expertise to give them form. It means that creating flexible, ephemeral interiors that can move and change is more important that investing in a solidity that will sit dark when disaster cuts it off from movement.
We need to make beautiful and good warehouses, not more skyscrapers. We need to shape land, not build on it. We need to make better infrastructure that connects us in a safe, efficient, flexible, and attractive manner. These are not utopian tasks, but work for architects who want to survive and thrive in a world cosseted by storms and changes both natural and human-made.

Failure on the Part of Mainstream Catholic Media to be Only One Color?
According to a 2011 study by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, "The US Catholic population is currently 77.7 million." According to other sources, 39% of those Catholics are Hispanic and 4% are Blacks. Yet, if you look at all of the major Catholic television outlets, read the major Catholic magazines and website blogs, Diocesan newspapers, peruse the catalogs of Catholic book publishers, listen to Catholic radio, and look at the two major outlets for Catholic speakers, you would come away with the impression that American Catholicism is as White as Catholicism in Ireland.
Sure, you have the usual suspects of racial diversity that we are all familiar with, such as Jesse Romero, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Immaculee Ilibagiza, Richard Lane, Damon Owens, and the occasional religious or priest we'd see host a special program or celebrate a Mass. We might also see and hear a lay Black or Hispanic being interviewed or serving as a guest on a Catholic television or radio program, but, overall, Black and Hispanic Catholics in the US are grossly underrepresented if not nearly absent from the New Evangelization as presented by popular Catholic Media in this country. That is, as Catholic radio show hosts, 'regular/weekly' television programs, books published through Catholic publishers, 'regular' and syndicated columns in magazines and newspapers, and speaker bureaus.
Evangelizing through Racial Identification
I posed this question on a Catholic message forum about the lack of racial diversity in popular Catholic media and on fellow said in response:
- "Why is it so important to you? I don't need the person on TV or the radio to look like me or sound like me or eat the same foods I eat. I'm OK with me. I'm good — thank you. I don't turn on EWTN or tune into Sacred Heart Radio (my local Catholic radio station) to have my race justified in some way. Quite frankly, I don't care about race when I'm tuned in. I want and expect to hear good Catholics who love Christ and present a faith that is loyal to the Magisterium and our Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome."
What if Jesus came as Asian and tried to minister to the Jews. What if He came eating food that the Jews were unfamiliar with? What if he spoke in a language that the Jews couldn't understand? What if Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego looking like some lady from Sweden? I do appreciate why some people like to take the Christian objective high ground here and say skin color does not matter – all that matters is the Blood of Christ. I understand and agree with that, but it is also true that Christian evangelization is as much about as bringing people to that realization of spiritual maturity as it is with meeting people exactly where they are – just as the God who became Man did.
Like many of my peers in the 1980's and 90's I was being fed the suspicion that Christianity is a White man's religion. We were told that the only reason why Blacks are Christians in America today is because they were forced to convert as slaves. In fact, this something that you will still hear today in Black community. To often we do hear and believe things without taking the time to research their validity, but because I didn't, whenever I would see White Christians I would automatically distrust their motives. Although it never happened, I always wondered what would have transpired if a Black man, someone who I could have related with on that most basic level, would have evangelized the Good News to me in my youth.
The door to effective evangelization is healthy relationship. If you have healthy and trusting relationship with a person, God can most effectively use you to speak into their ear and to help win their heart to Him. On the most basic human level of relationship we draw nearer to people who we can identify with, and it begins with family bonds and descends down to hobbies/interests. For example, I identify with my siblings more than I do with my friends; I identify more with my friends more than I do with men who share my race; I identify more with men who share my race than I do women with who share my race; I identify more with women who share my race than I do with people who belong to my professional organizations, and etc.
Again, I'm not talking about racial equality here or who we are In Christ. All I'm talking about is how humans identify with each other. If you don't believe me go to any high school at lunch time and you will see all the black kids eating together and all of the white kids eating together. If you look a little deeper into those groups you will see they are segmented even further by gender, sports, popularity, city geography, and etc. Wake up on any Sunday and you will generally see Whites go to this church and Blacks go to that Church. Look at your collection friends and you might find more who look like you (e.g. race) than those who do not. It is absolutely natural to surround ourselves with people who we can identify with for whatever reason, and on the most basic level that reason is oftentimes something as superficial as skin pigmentation or the absence thereof.
Another respondent to my question on that Catholic forum replied best when they said:
- "EWTN airs all around the world, in 127 countries. It does not air just in America. When you see people that look like you, you identify more, it is natural, I don't think it is racist. It can help with outreach and evangelization to have more Black, Hispanic and Asian people as regulars on EWTN."
It's a Dual Responsibility
Another insightful comment I received from the Catholic forum was:
- "Good questions all. Have you ever applied for such positions, or would you consider doing so? EWTN and Catholic Radio should be interested in broadening their audience base."
I responded that I never felt called to apply for any position at a Catholic media outlet. I said I would look into if that is even how the White Catholics obtained their positions there. The only television program I was ever asked to be a host on called me and pulled me into a pool of other candidates that they were interested in giving the position to. Years ago I sent a few of my articles to major Catholic magazines and they were never published. I submitted two of my books to three different Catholic publishers and they were turned down. Their lack of interest I don't think it had anything to do with race though. The first manuscript I submitted just wasn't good quality and once I improved it, I decided to just control my content and publish it myself. And it turns out that I had sent my articles to liberal Catholic magazines and that is why they were rejected.
Yet, this person's question does raise a vital point. I believe that the popular Catholic Media outlets in this country have completely and utterly failed in the New Evangelization to reach anyone but Whites. Simultaneously, I believe that Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native American (& etc.) Catholics have 'collectively' failed to engage in the New Evangelization through popular Catholic media. Let us not expect people who are living in a vacuum to know anything outside of it unless we tell them. We have to expose people to the truth.
I'm not saying that we need to Occupy EWTN or Catholic Radio, but non-White Catholics do need to tell these outlets that we want all races evangelized and represented in their evangelization. We want more of our races to hear the good news of the True Church of Christ. But we can't rely on them either. We have to continue to tell our story and witness to souls – whoever and wherever and however we can. From the home, to the street corner, to the sanctuary – tell the people of God what is good about our faith and they will hear.

Housing market not changing despite state seeing increase
Local News 8's Liz Cosgrove met with a real estate agent who also flips houses today. He says to succeed in a flat eastern Idaho housing market, it's all about how you price your home.
Jason Miloandrus knows his houses and today was no exception. Examining every room in this home for sale in Idaho Falls, he wanted to make sure he's getting the best deal.
"What drives the housing market is price. If you can't sell your house, then you have it price too high," said Miloandrus.
But that's been the problem for many homeowners in Idaho Falls -- they need that extra cash from selling their home at a higher price to cover their mortgages.
"Then your house is not a candidate to be sold. If you can't sell for what you owe, you shouldn't be selling your house and you should be staying in it and waiting until the market returns," said Miloandrus.
Realtor Tina Miller see sellers struggling to make a profit on their home.
"You'd be surprised how many sellers are paying their way out. We're seeing lots of cash at closing from the seller to move on to bigger and better opportunities," said Miller.
If you're hoping to sell your home in the near future, you're up against a tough housing market. Building new homes is significantly cheaper than it was four years ago.
"When I fix up a home, I look at what my market is for new homes. So you go to make your home look like what a new house may look like," said Miloandrus
But since the housing market is down, if you have a little extra cash, it might be a wise idea to sell your home.
"If you can sell your house for what you owe, you could buy more square footage right now because price for square foot is down three to four years ago," said Miloandrus.
There's a lot of options to weight, but once again, Miloandrus suggests if you can't sell your home for as much as you owe on the mortgages, then it's best to ride out the market for the time being.
Miloandrus also advises researching realtors before considering to short-sell your home.

I'm not sure if there are any howto's around for this, most likely there is but the way I do it to simplify matters is just to copy the whole tomcat directory and then change various ports in server.xml (I'm at home so I haven't got the list in front of me). Then if you wish to install NT services (are you using Windows) there is a GUI tool available that makes this nice and easy, search the archives and you should find it easy enough. If you are using linux you should be right if you just run ./startup.sh from each directory, same with windows if you don't want to install a service, just run the startup.bat file. You can set it up so you share some of the core of Tomcat but I prefer not to complicate matters as Tomcat isn't huge so there is no real overhead in just keeping multiple copies of the binary.

Brought up around horses and the Gulf coast, Kyle grew to appreciate the beauty and heritage of his Texas surroundings which is reflected in his art. He worked closely with his grandfathers who were both skilled carpenters, and through their teachings, learned the meaning of craftsmanship and the reward of creating with your hands. In 1992 Kyle began his formal training in fine art at Victoria College with emphasis in oil painting. During this time, he participated in instructional sessions under the master painter Dalhart Windberg who became his longtime mentor. After college Kyle worked as a graphic artist and web designer, while painting in his free time. As his popularity and success as a painter grew, he switched to painting full time in 2000. Kyle has had numerous sold out shows and his work has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, Texas Outdoors Journal, and numerous other publications. Ducks Unlimited honored him as Sponsor Artist for the state of Texas in 2007 and as Texas State Artist for 2010.
