Midway Contemporary Art is pleased to announce the eight recipients of the 2016 Visual Arts Fund grant. Jurors Betsy Carpenter (Independent Curator, Minneapolis), Alejandro Cesarco (Artist and Director of ART Press, New York), and Anthony Huberman (Director and Chief Curator, The Wattis Institute, San Francisco) selected the eight funded projects from a highly competitive pool of applicants.
Betsy Carpenter is an independent curator, writer, and educator. She worked as a curator of visual arts at the Walker Art Center from 2001-2013. Prior to the Walker, Carpenter served on the curatorial team responsible for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition, Robert Rauschenberg: A Retrospective (1997). In 2001, as guest curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings, she curated Jim Dine Prints: 1985 – 2000 at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, for which she also wrote and edited a catalogue raisonné of Dine's graphic work from that period.
Alejandro Cesarco is a Uruguayan artist living in New York. He is the Director of the non-profit arts organization, Art Resources Transfer. Cesarco's work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad. These exhibitions addressed, through different formats and strategies, his recurrent interests in repetition, narrative, and the practices of reading and translating.
Anthony Huberman is Director and Chief Curator of The Wattis Institute in San Francisco. He was Founding Director of The Artist's Institute in New York and a distinguished lecturer at Hunter College. Huberman has previously worked as chief curator of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and as curator at both the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and SculptureCenter in Long Island City.

Soomaal House of Art's Anomalous Expansion II provides studio space, studio critiques, artistic community, and mentorships for younger Somali artists and an exhibition space with educational programming. The 2017 program is an extension of the first Anomalous Expansion exhibition's mission to explore the significance of the sacred space, the Masjid, as both a public and private sphere and serve as an alternative art location that affords artists secure footing in their community. This project will foster artistic experimentation in exploring Somali Muslim American identity within the supportive environment of the Mosque and expose many Somalis to art as routinely as possible.

Yeah Maybe will bring together, in exhibition and conversation, established and emerging artists from across the country. This Level Ground series consists of four shows that take place simultaneously in the Minneapolis Yeah Maybe gallery space and an online exhibition platform. A portion of the funding will be used to create the online platform, with the rest going directly to exhibiting artists for travel, materials and labor. This series, interspersed with the gallery's regular programming, will enrich the Twin Cities art scene by providing increased opportunities, and new terrain, for creation and conversation.
Lead Organizer: Oakley Tapola

WOPOZI acts as an unorthodox exhibition space, a portable gallery, that showcases the work of artists from the Twin Cities community. With its nation-wide distribution it is also a catalyst for local artists to reach an extended audience. During the grant period three magazine-sized newsprint issues of WOPOZI will be produced and distributed. The publication is submission based and each issue will feature the work of a singular artist or collaborative/collective group of artists. The call for submissions is open to the public and will last two months per issue. WOPOZI does not collect a submission fee and does not require anyone to submit a resume. It is important that the artists are selected based on their written and visual work samples and the overall excellence of their proposal.
Lead Organizer: Sam Gould
Awarded: $5,000
Beyond Repair is a bookstore and publishing site located within the Midtown Global Market which serves as a "creative civics lab" for neighbors of Minneapolis' 9th Ward. We see publication as the act of public-making; anything that highlights the space in between bodies, and, in some fashion, attempts to bridge that divide; a book, a table, the Greenway (for instance). As we move into our second of three years, support for Beyond Beyond Repair will allow us to focus attention from the relationships we have built within the shop out into the neighborhood at large with public projects of varying scope.
Lead Organizer: Chelsea Parker
Awarded: $5,000
Feminist Video Quarterly is a growing community of female-identified and non-binary artists in the Twin Cities.

Our mission is to create a network of support for artists by developing a community around their artwork. Our goals for 2017 is to expand into the Saint Paul alternative art scene, pay venues, and supply musicians and video artists a stipend for screening their work.
Lead Organizer: Patrick Gantert
Awarded: $5,000
Sadie Halie Projects is an artist-run exhibition space for contemporary art and culture located in Minneapolis, MN. Sadie Halie Projects was founded in 2012 by Jennie Ekstrand and Patrick Gantert.

Gas Gallery and Press (GAS) will produce a second episode of Shave Your Coat, a collaborative video originally intended for public access television. GAS will use this opportunity to make their second episode more visually and technically refined by renting a studio space at MTN (Minnesota Television Network) to film content in a setting that allows for more visual control. GAS will invite artists to submit video content through an open call.
Lead Organizer: Ben Moren
Awarded: $5,000
WZFR, or Waabizipinikaan-Ziibi Filmmaking Residency, is a rural, low-res program for filmmakers from across disciplines that encourages sharing, collaboration, and the use of local resources for the creation of short experimental films. In its fourth year, the residency encourages filmmakers to make works that respond directly to the region's unique environment. We will expand our public screening by offering filmmakers a stipend for the production and showing of their films. Screenings take place on a custom built screen suspended over a body of water that draws attention to the site responsiveness of the films.

Love strong dark roast coffee just by itself right out of the brewer. Espresso is so good, I've even learned to like it by itself, definitely meant to be sipped. Espresso Con Panno 50/50 whipped or frothed cream/shot of espresso is one of my favorite simple blended drinks, caramel macchiato is my favorite sweetened espresso drink.00|00|0

I've never been one to shy away from an accessory. Hats, belts, jewelry, you name it and I'm game to try it. I especially love winter accessories, and have a rather unnecessary amount of beanies, scarves and hats considering I live in a place that doesn't get a typical winter. One accessory I happen to love is the turban. The styling possibilities are pretty limitless, and they're a nice variation from your typical winter fedora or beanie. My winter hat collection includes a tan turban I purchased a few years ago from ASOS, and I just added another turban in one of the most gorgeous shades of deep blue that I've ever seen.
We're expecting a few cooler days this week, and I'm hoping to finally get take my newest accessory out for a spin. I love looking for outfit inspiration online, and while I was searching for turban inspiration, I ran across an image from an Elie Tahari lookbook a few seasons ago. It was so gorgeous that I had to immediately go and investigate the entire collection. Turns out Elie Tahari's Resort 2012 lookbook was full of chic turban looks. I'll probably be a bit more casual with my turban look, but these shots are definitely pinned as fashion inspo. How do you guys feel about turbans – yay or nay? P.S. – My last turban look can be seen here!

There are many solutions to the problems of office filing and storage on eBay, but finding the right solution can often seem intractable. Knowing just which product is right for the job enables the buyer to find the perfect solution for the problems of storing and filing documents, papers, receipts, and other essentials required to run an office.
Broadly speaking, there are two main areas in filing and storage. Those of permanent or reference storage, and therefore long term, and there are temporary storage solutions such as units to store short-term papers including invoices and bills.
There are also products available to allow the safe and secure storage of office paperwork, documents, even keys, and these too should be examined. Each of these storage solutions are available on eBay, and knowing just what to look for helps the buyer determine just what they are seeking and how to purchase it.
How to Find the Right Office Filing System
Traditionally, the grey or green steel filing cabinet which sat in one corner of the office was the only way to store important and vital documents. These filing cabinets normally have two, three, or four long drawers, and individual files are stored in folders or hanging wallets suspended between two steel runners going down the length of the drawers. Many of the more traditional industries still employ these filing cabinets, which often sit side by side in rows.
With the recent and ongoing changes in working practice, an increasing number of workers either work from home, full or part-time, or they have small offices in unused bedrooms, equipped with computers and telephone lines, if they are self-employed. If this is the case, then these workers do not necessarily want ugly filing cabinets in their living and working spaces, and an increasing number of office supply companies are adapting to these changing needs by offering products that are practical, but ergonomic, to fit in with the users' homes. With this in mind, the buyer needs to decide what type of filing and storage solution he or she wants by examining the different options available on eBay.
Deciding to Purchase Traditional Filing Cabinets
Traditional filing cabinets of the type found in just about every office in Britain, are abound on eBay. By searching in "Office Equipment & Supplies" in the main categories heading, then selecting "Office Furniture" will bring up hundreds, if not thousands of choices. The buyer can then choose from there subcategories to get to the proper storage solutions they need.
Learning About Traditional Filing Cabinet Sizes
Designed for A4 papers, with associated envelopes and folders, the traditional or standard filing cabinet holds thousands of sheets in one convenient place. The most popular type of filing cabinet is one where the papers are held vertically in hanging folders in a lateral manner. This makes for easy indexing with tabs on the hanging folders to identify individual files or folders.
The traditional two, three, or four-drawer filing cabinet is still the mainstay of offices up and down the land. They are usually made of steel, which is painted in usually darker or neutral colours to match the supposedly somber office-type environment. In recent years, with the surge in the number of people working from home, or at least having some kind of office space, normally in a spare bedroom, there has been a shift away from the traditional, darker colours into brighter finishes, often with wood-effect or even brightly coloured appearance. The potential buyer needs to decide if the traditional filing solution is one which suits the working environment that he or she is in.
Number of Drawers
Approximate Width x Depth x Height (in millimetres)
458 x 622 x 711
458 x 622 x 1009
Solid wood and wood-effect filing cabinets are increasingly being sought to enable the home worker to function from home, yet not have a bedroom or other living area of the house actually look like an office. While on the outside, they may look like a set of drawers, on the inside, these filing cabinets have the runners associated with a traditional filing cabinet.
Choosing Under-the-Desk Filing Cabinets
If the office is small, then a buyer can opt for an under-the-desk set of filing cabinets and drawers. Many of these are finished in natural wood or wood-effect, and are a convenient way of storing both A4 files and folders, but also other desk essentials, such as pens and paper. Under-the-desk drawers and filing cabinets are almost exclusively available in wood-effect finishes, either light oak effect, or in a black wood finish, so an eBay buyer has a few options in this category.
Deciding on Office Cupboards
Office cupboards are an essential place to store items and supplies that are needed on a regular basis, but are too large to store on a desk or in the cupboards beneath a desk. If purchased new, these are often flat-packed, to be assembled by the buyer, and they come in a variety of colours, with a wood-effect finish being the most common. Office cupboards come in a range of different configurations and styles, from half-height to full height. Many come with sliding or folding doors, with some models sporting glass doors to enable the office to see the contents. From the "Office Equipment & Supplies" heading, simply pick "Office Cupboards", and there will be tens, if not hundreds to choose from.
Replacing Filing Cabinet Keys
When purchasing used office filing or storage solutions on eBay, sometimes the keys for them may be lost, or the new owner wishes to change the locks for security reasons. Key companies now provide services on eBay where the user simply gives the company the lock make and key number, which is usually stamped on the front of the lock, and the user can order replacement keys, or even get whole locks and barrels.
Considering Safe Storage Choices
Where a user needs to store valuables such as important documents, keys or cash, he or she can choose to purchase a safe. These range from a small, lockable box to be kept somewhere unobtrusive and out of the way, to a large wall-mounted model which stores many thousands of pounds in cash.
There are units also on sale from eBay that offer an alternative to a safe to store keys in the form of a locking metal cupboard. This is normally a wall-mounted steel box which holds many sets of different keys, each on their own numbered hook. These are particularly useful in large offices, and save every person who works in the office from having to store their own set in different areas.
Considering Desk Storage Solutions
Temporarily storing paper on a desk has traditionally always been a big problem. Piles of paperwork start off small and neat, but then within a few days, end up as enormous piles of untidy-looking mess, where no one can find anything. There are now hundreds of different systems available on eBay, from simple tray systems, right up to multi-coloured and multi-layered devices that are designed to store sheets of paper tidily, efficiently, and more importantly, in such a way that should the owner of the desk be away for any reason, others can quickly find papers that may be needed. These systems are available in a wide range of colours, to either suit the office decor, or to be easily identified in a hurry.
Other Storage Solutions for the Desk and Office
There are also many devices available for the storage of pens, paperclips, and other odds and ends which naturally accumulate around a desk or an office. These units are usually very inexpensive to buy, and oftentimes office workers themselves purchase them to personalise their working space or to make it look a little more functional.
How to Buy Office Filing and Storage Solutions on eBay
Buying office filing and storage solutions on eBay is really very easy. Simply select the type of filing or storage solution you are looking for, then spend plenty of time looking around the many entries that are available. If the item you have selected is second hand, be sure to check out the delivery options given by the seller. Many large, used items of office furniture are advertised as 'collection only', so you should be sure that the seller is local and that you have access to a vehicle large enough to collect the item.
Many sellers of new office filing systems offer free delivery, and note should be taken of this. Large, metal items, such as filing cabinets are supplied 'as is', but many smaller items, such as cupboards and sets of drawers are sold 'flat-pack'. If this is the case, ensure that you have a screwdriver, possibly a pair of pliers, and a knack for putting these things together.
If the user is looking for more than a filing or storage system, maybe a desk or two, or other items of office furniture, they would do well to check if the seller has other items they are looking to sell. If this is the case, then the seller may be willing to negotiate further discounts if the buyer agrees to purchase filing and storage solutions as well as other related items.
Though the sheer choice of available office filing and storage solutions on eBay may seem overwhelming at first, with a little thought and judicious use of the site's categories, choices can be narrowed right down to merely a few. The buyer should always note whether delivery is included in the price, or whether the item is for collection only. If it is for collection only, then the buyer would be well advised to have transport already arranged.
In addition to filing and storage solutions, the buyer may need to plan for safe storage in the office for important documents or even cash. Moreover, if the buyer purchases used filing cabinets, he or she can get new keys created for security purposes, and eBay offers services for this particular need.
With the changing face of work, offices up and down the country are either shutting down, or are outsourcing their workforce, so many bargains are to be had in second-hand office furniture. The buyer would do well to take the time to study as many pages of listings on eBay as possible in order to get the keenest bargain.

We are continuing to contemplate cutting the cord when our current DirecTV plan expires so I'm in the mode of thinking through my HTPC options and wanted any experienced input I could get from you folks.
My current setup is a Samsung LN-T4053H TV, Panasonic DMR-EZ27 DVD Recorder and a Sony VGC-RB53 XP PC. Currently, we use the PC to occasionally surf the web or to watch a missed show from the network's website.
In planning for the future, I'd like to have a way to record the subchannels via antenna. (If we cut the cord, we'd also use this as our main DVR, or, if we stay with D*, as a bad weather backup to satellite.) Ideally, I'd also like to rip some DVD sets of TV shows.
I recently came into possession of an HP Pavilion a6130n. It came to me with restore software but no hard drive or DVD burner. I've never owned a Vista computer (or Win7 for that matter), so I'm wondering if the HP would be a better unit to make into an off-air recording HTPC or if the Sony is sufficient. (I also have a couple of HP towers that came with XP Media Center Edition that are candidates for refurbishing and use for this set of tasks.) I have very limited Linux experience but have done a bit of Mythbuntu research.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Since my needs aren't incredibly high octane, I don't want to go overboard but, with several seemingly viable options to put into service, I don't want to go for the bare minimum if I can help it.
I have used this for years to record OTA, Clear QAM and then with a Cable Card. Vista will work but, Win7 is much cleaner. If you use those restore disks, you will have to clean up all the junk HP includes. That will help with responsiveness. I used a Avermedia Duet 2 channel tuner that worked well. It is no longer in production but you might find one searching the web. Others think highly of the HDHomerun network tuner. That's probably a good way to go also.
So, a tuner, DVD drive and a hard drive or two and you are off on a new adventure. Good Luck!.

Recording uncompressed CinemaDNG RAW and industry-standard Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD file formats directly to 2.5" SSD drives*, and sporting a 5" LCD Touch Screen with easy metadata entry, you can get the shots and edits you want - on-time and on-budget. Standard connections include 3Gb/s SDI out, mic/line in, 12V-30V external power, headphone out, LANC and Thunderbolt^. Furthermore, Davinci Resolve grading software is included! The Blackmagic is perfect for the budding indie filmmaker or seasoned pro looking for an impressive-yet-compact cinematic solution.
* Does not include 2.5" SSD drive (required; sold separately). Must be formatted as HFS+ on a Mac or using Macdrive on a Windows machine.
**This is a body only kit and does not include a lens. A compatible lens is required to shoot video footage.
^ Thunderbolt will output 10 bit 4:2:2 1920x1080 video. The camera should be able to capture RAW from Thunderbolt in a future firmware update.
Product Code: BlackMagicCinema +Bonus
High Resolution 2.5K CMOS Image Sensor – The camera features a high resolution cooled CMOS image sensor capable of outputting 2.5K resolution 12-bit uncompressed RAW video footage with a very wide dynamic range so it's perfect for independent film, television commercials and episodic television production. Resolution and frame rates include 2.5K and 1080HD resolution capture in 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps.
13 Stop Dynamic Range – Ultra-wide dynamic range prevents clipping of highlights and preserves shadow detail giving your footage an incredibly cinematic look and feel. And when you start post-processing you can take full advantage of this increased range when you come to grade your images using the included DaVinci Resolve software.
EF or MFT Compatible Lens Mount ** – Compatible with EF or MFT mounts, you can utilize fantastic lenses from Canon and Zeiss and MFT mount lenses. The Blackmagic camera's sensor has a crop factor of 2.25x (35mm format), so fast wide-angle zoom lenses such as the Tokina 11-16mm would be ideal, giving an approximate equivalent focal length of 25-36mm. The camera allows full electronic control of compatible lenses.
Built-in SSD Recorder - includes a built-in SSD recorder that uses low cost 2.5" SSDs. You're not tied to proprietary media and SSDs of different sizes are widely available. You can play back directly from the Camera, mount the disk to any computer or use Blackmagic Design's HyperDeck Studio deck. Alternative camera media cannot match the performance of SSDs and require slow file copying to use. With Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD video formats you can record for more than 5 hours on a single 480GB SSD!
Open Standard File Formats - uses standard file formats, so you don't need to wait years for your video software to support the media! Recording native 2.5K resolution uses the open CinemaDNG format, so you get full 12-bit RAW recording quality using the built-in SSD recorder, and the benefit of industry wide compatibility. For even greater compatibility you can also choose 1080HD recording into ProRes and DNxHD compressed video formats.
Build Quality & Stylish Design - The high-quality design of the machined aluminium body exudes style plus functionality. The chassis is fitted with smooth rubber front and rear for comfortable grip. The simple control layout is straightforward whilst the angled rear 5" LCD touch screen allows touch control for the rest of the camera settings.
5" LCD Touchscreen Display - The 5″ Capacitive LCD touchscreen lets you see your shot, as well as play back from the SSD using the transport control buttons below the screen. Enter shot data and update the camera's settings using the capacitive touchscreen display, just like a smartphone! Double tap to zoom the image for fast and accurate focus. All camera settings can be changed on the touch LCD, such as frame rate, shutter angle, color temperature, dynamic range, focus assist settings and more. The data strip displays information including record status, shutter angle, ISO, battery level, record time etc.
Easily Enter Metadata - The large capacitive touchscreen display makes it incredibly easy to log metadata directly into the camera. When you tap the display with a finger, a data entry window called the "slate" appears. This lets you enter shot information just like typing on a smartphone. This data is then stored in the files so it can be accessed by NLE software when editing content later. Metadata is compatible with popular software such as Final Cut Pro X and DaVinci Resolve.
Use Standard Connectors – the camera incorporates standard 6.35mm jack mic/line audio inputs for recording the highest quality uncompressed audio, as well as 3 Gb/s SDI out for on-set monitoring or for sending to live production switchers. Also included is 12V to 30V DC input for power and battery charging, 3.5mm headphone socket, LANC remote control and high speed Thunderbolt^ port for computer capture!
UltraScope Included - provides technically accurate waveform monitoring with a beautifully designed computer interface. Connect Blackmagic Cinema Camera to any compatible computer using Thunderbolt technology to display 6 live scope views on a single monitor! Use UltraScope on set or in any location for Parade, Waveform, Vectorscope and Histogram signal measurement. UltraScope includes picture view, audio level and phase monitoring!
DaVinci Resolve 9.0 Software Included - includes full DaVinci Resolve 9.0 software for Mac and Windows, so you get more colour correction features that let you take advantage of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera's amazing image quality. Shoot wide dynamic range images and then make colour correction decisions in post-production. You will never be limited creatively by your equipment because you have the same camera and colour correction technology used by the world's leading cinematographers!

Reviews of Fountains Nursing Home
Cristen1 July 23, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
The Fountains was one of the homes that was available that could tend to my father's needs, so that's the reason he was placed there. It seems like they have a pretty good staff-to-resident ratio. It seems like the staff is very involved with the residents and attentive to them as well. My father participates a little bit in their activities, but there are definitely activities ongoing during the day. They have bingo, music, etc. They have a board with all the activities for the day on it, what's happening and what time. My father's room is adequate enough for the purpose it needs to serve. He is in a semi-private room, so he does have a roommate, but it seems like a big enough room to accommodate them both. My dad's room was renovated with new paint and flooring. The Fountains seems very clean, even though it is an older facility. They have done some renovations recently. It is a smaller facility, which I like. I'm glad that we ended up placing my father there. They have 60 or so beds, so it seems very well-staffed. The facility itself seems to be maintained well, even though it is older.

We host adoption events outside the Berkeley Animal Care Services shelter (one of our close partner organizations) or at the store HOLISTIC HOUND in Berkeley, or the GEORGE store in Larkspur Landing, in Marin. But these are not on a regular schedule as we do a lot of outreach work in our community and our weekends are sometimes taken up with those events. Please check our Facebook Page for details of events, or email us.
We ask you to complete an adoption application which is not available online yet, but can be emailed to you. We try to have adoptions which really meet the needs of the individual pet, we encourage multi pet households as most dogs and many cats are very social and need each other. We need to feel that this is a good fit for everyone, and we are as honest as we can be about the good and not so good points of our adoptable pets. We want it to work!
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to PAW FUND.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Daily Draw: Bosch Tarot ~ 2 of Cups
Both figures seem to have the same goal in mind, get their delivery to the dock on time.
I'm reminded by this card, where there is a will there is probably a way. I had the OH deck chosen this week which contains two decks of cards. One with a word border, the other smaller cards have painted images on them. You set the smaller on the larger and talk about what you see. I drew Beginnings and an image of a made bed. From which I deduced what I was about to start wouldn't work and I should go back to bed.
The cards were right, neither the scanner nor the camera card slot will work today. I'm not going back to bed but I will work on the will/way idea. And I'm using a deck which has all the card images on line.
"He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the
barriers to it, and secures its achievement." ~ Samuel Smiles 1812-1904
The Bosch Tarot was published in 2000 by Lo Scarabeo based on 16th century art and times of Hieronymus
Bosch as interpreted by the artist Alexandrov Atanassov.

Sounds like the OH deck has a wicked sense of humor. :) Hope you get the camera/scanner problem sorted out soon (and that it turns out to be something simple and easy to fix.)ReplyDelete
I did have a little chuckle after reading although I truly hope the camera and scanner is nothing serious. Perhaps Mercury retrograde playing again. This two of cups card is interesting. Absolutely when there is a will, there is a way! Although one looks a little harder than the other.ReplyDelete
I will look forward to seeing cards from the OH deck :)))
I welcome your thoughts. Good bad or indifferent; opinions are the lifeblood of conversation and I always learn something from a new point of view. Thank you for visiting, Sharyn

The Oklahoma City Thunder five-man lineup of Reggie Jackson, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins has a +8.9 points per 100 possessions over 556 minutes this season.
This lineup struggled badly during last season's playoffs following the injury to Russell Westbrook with a -31.4 per 100 possessions in 10 games.
Jackson takes less risks on defense than Westbrook and also takes fewer quick shots on offense, which lead to fewer fast-break opportunities for the opposing team.
The Thunder largely run the same offense with Jackson on the floor instead of Westbrook.


text: Louis Charles Napoleon Bonaparte (1813-1863) reigned as Emperor Louis I of the French Empire from 1845, when he overthrew his brother Napoleon II in the War of Napoleonic Succession, until 1863, when he died of intestinal cancer. Louis I is credited with reigning during a period of integration of the Empire's diverse provinces, of curbing the power of the military, tripling the size of the national railroad system, and helping foster the Industrial Revolution on the European continent. The last six years of his reign are regarded as being part of the Golden Age of the French Empire, and the peace that followed the War of Napoleonic Succession and lasted until the Colonial Wars is referred to as the "Peace of Louis" (as an alternative to the Pax Francia)

Homeschooling is a part of daily life - but it shouldn't be your whole life! Click the button below for simple solutions for managing daily family life - all from the perspective of a homeschool family.
I started homeschooling when my daughter was three.Yes, I was THAT homeschool mom – so excited to start and convinced my daughter was a genius because she could sound out her letters. I was so focused on creating the perfect homeschool experience I let other things go. The housework suffered. We started to depend on fast food more and more often. I was gaining more weight (and wasn't skinny, to begin with). Within a few years, I was feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and wondered if I'd be able to keep up with it all. Something had to change. I wanted to homeschool but not at the expense of the quality of our family life.
I took a hard look at each area that needed an overhaul and began making little changes. I discovered that making small habit and lifestyle adjustments as well as a flexible daily rhythm made a huge difference – our homeschool day became more peaceful, the house was cleaner, and healthier choices came naturally. Simple daily routines and manageable systems helped us create a healthy home and happy homeschool.
With Homeschool DIY you'll have everything you need to build a happy homeschool.

text: Hey Guys, Sorry if this a newb question with the Inspire 1 - I've recorded a variety of videos and jpeg / DNG photos with my new Inspire 1. When I remove the card from the camera and insert into card reader on my Mac, the card mounts, I see DCIM folder, and inside this folder all are all .MOV and .jpeg files, no DNGs whatsoever. I've re-formatted the card and tested filming and photographing in all .mov / jpeg / DNG modes available on the Inspire. Never seen a DNG show up yet. Am I missing a step? Thanks.

John provided outstanding legal representation for me in a very difficult civil action. He kept me fully informed and provided balanced assessments of my situation before recommending a course of action. His work resulted in a settlement that I am sure I could not have gotten without his hard work. I highly recommend him and will call him again in the future when I am in need of expert legal advice. Great lawyer!

His knowledge of the law and continuous training helped me thrive in my job. We worked together as a team, even though we were the "associate and his secretary." Mr. Bonin would not only inform me of his needs regarding the case, but included the client history and reasoning behind his needs to allow me to think ahead and help trouble-shoot the needs of our clients.
He never belittled me, but instead explained if I made a mistake.
Together, we conquered civil cases, family law, real estate, and estate planning.
Mr. Bonin was a very intellectual and intelligent counsel.
It has been over 10 years since I have worked for Mr. Bonin, but we continue to keep in touch. I wish I could remember more of our work history, but I was quite green, (Very new to the legal field) and everything I do today in my legal career is because of what I learned from Mr. Bonin years ago. He was patient and shaped me into the secretary that I have become.

I am low-income (disabled) and utilize the Avvo website. I posted a question on Avvo and Mr. Bonin posted a reply. I then contacted him by email and he was of such tremendous help. He responded timely and offered legal counsel by providing recommendations and resources! I am so grateful!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known Mr. Bonin for decades and would describe him as an honest, genuine, caring person who strives to help people, both in his personal life and professionally. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area law and is not afraid to send clients to another attorney if they would be better served. He is a great choice, and worthy of receiving your call to discuss your legal issues.
James Gazori, Speeding and traffic ticket Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I strongly endorse this lawyer. Defining him as a civil rights lawyer is short-sighted. He is accomplished in many areas of civil practice, including landlord-tenant and personal injury. A self-confident and extremely caring attorney who will fight every inch for you. i have personally hired this attorney, and will anytime I need one. He will take on cases of excessive use of force when police and jails go too far. His wife Julie is an attorney in the firm, and is one of the brightest lawyers i have met. the personal attention i have recieved from them would take pages to endorse. They treat every client with the same compassion.

Audi launches the new Q7 facelift in India for Rs.72 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi). The new Q7 will initially be sold in India as a Completely Built Unit, and will be locally manufactured later, somewhere around mid-2016.

New Audi Q7 Price Details:
Audi Q7 Premium Plus - INR 72 lakhs
Audi Q7 Technology - INR 77.5 lakhs
[Note: Prices are ex-showroom, Delhi.]

The turbocharged diesel engine will help the Q7 reach 100km/h from a standstill in 7.1 seconds, which is quicker than the previous generation model.
The new Audi Q7 features a new infotainment system with Bose audio system, LED Matrix headlight, electrically adjustable leather seats, panoramic sunroof, four zone climate control, 360 degree camera, and an all-digital instrument cluster to name a few. The Q7 also comes with Head-Up Display (HUD) and navigation assistance.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-1482) Update triggers on tables with blob columns stream blobs into memory even when the blobs are not referenced/accessed.
|Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:46:43 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12546793 ] Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-1482: --------------------------------------- I came across this relevant comment in DMLWriteResultSet and thought I would post for reference. /* We only need to objectify the streams here if they are exposed to the users through the * trigger context. For "before" trigger, we could just return the stream wrapped in * RememberBytesInputStream to the user and reset it after usage, but this wouldn't work * because the user may get the stream in trigger action and do something with it in parallel * with the store doing insert. We could also delay the materializing until the stream is * fetched in before trigger but that would complicate the code. For "after" trigger, we have * to materialize it here because store only keeps a page's amount for each round. For other * reasons of "deferred" operations we don't need to objectify here. Simply going through a * temp table (either in memory part or spilled to disk) is fine for the stream, unless a * same stream appears in two rows in the temp table, which could happen for an "update", in * which case we do the objectifying in UpdateResultSet. Beetle 4896. Related bug entries: * 2432, 3383. */ > Update triggers on tables with blob columns stream blobs into memory even when the blobs are not referenced/accessed. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1482 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1482 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.2.1.6 > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Priority: Minor > > Suppose I have 1) a table "t1" with blob data in it, and 2) an UPDATE trigger "tr1" defined on that table, where the triggered-SQL-action for "tr1" does NOT reference any of the blob columns in the table. [ Note that this is different from DERBY-438 because DERBY-438 deals with triggers that _do_ reference the blob column(s), whereas this issue deals with triggers that do _not_ reference the blob columns--but I think they're related, so I'm creating this as subtask to 438 ]. In such a case, if the trigger is fired, the blob data will be streamed into memory and thus consume JVM heap, even though it (the blob data) is never actually referenced/accessed by the trigger statement. > For example, suppose we have the following DDL: > create table t1 (id int, status smallint, bl blob(2G)); > create table t2 (id int, updated int default 0); > create trigger tr1 after update of status on t1 referencing new as n_row for each row mode db2sql update t2 set updated = updated + 1 where t2.id = n_row.id; > Then if t1 and t2 both have data and we make a call to: > update t1 set status = 3; > the trigger tr1 will fire, which will cause the blob column in t1 to be streamed into memory for each row affected by the trigger. The result is that, if the blob data is large, we end up using a lot of JVM memory when we really shouldn't have to (at least, in _theory_ we shouldn't have to...). > Ideally, Derby could figure out whether or not the blob column is referenced, and avoid streaming the lob into memory whenever possible (hence this is probably more of an "enhancement" request than a bug)... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Barneys New York is moving past its racial profiling controversy of 2013 to focus on a new ad campaign that is celebrating the often forgotten transgender community.
Shot by famed photographer Bruce Weber, "Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters" features nearly 20 transgender models that sport the fashions of Ann Demeulemeester, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Manolo Blahnik and more. The campaign is not only raising funds for the LGBT community, but is also sharing the personal stories of the photos' subjects.
Dennis Freedman, who heads the company's ad campaigns, noted: "I was exquisitely aware that in the last decade, the L.G.B. communities have made extraordinary advances, and the transgender community has not shared in that progress."
He has made it his mission to draw awareness to the community, starting with these beautiful and warm images.
In conjunction with the campaign, ten percent of all sales from Barneys flagship stores nationwide on Feb. 11 will go to the LGBT Center in New York City and the National Center for Transgender Equality.

British Fashion Awards to honour Alessandro Michele
Alessandro Michele is set to receive the International Fashion Designer of the Year gong at the British Fashion Awards.
The designer is head of Gucci, taking over from long-time creative director Frida Giannini in January (15). His initial work at the Italian fashion house has impressed both customers and critics, something that hasn't gone unnoticed by the British Fashion Council. And on November 23, Alessandro will be bestowed one of the awards show's greatest honours.
"I'm honoured and still a little incredulous," he stated, reports Britain's The Telegraph newspaper.
Prior to his creative director appointment, Alessandro was fairly unknown despite spending 12 years at Gucci in the design studio. Frida's exit shocked the industry, but Marco Bizzarri, Gucci president and chief executive officer, knew the label had made the right choice.
"Alessandro is not a big name. He is under the radar," he told WWD. "He is known in the company as being the most talented person and is very much respected by the team. He knows Gucci inside and out."
After debuting his first line in February (15), as part of Milan's Autumn/Winter 15 shows, the designer has proved he is a force to be reckoned with. Reflecting on that initial line, Alessandro feels a sense of romanticism about it.
"It was like a love affair," he recently smiled to scmp.com. "I was in love and I'm still in love. If someone gives you the opportunity to express something so beautiful in a very natural way, it's the best thing in the world. I didn't feel the pressure; I was not scared. The only mission was to make something beautiful that came with honesty."
Photographer Nick Knight will also be honoured at this year's British Fashion Awards, taking home the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator. Christopher Kane, Victoria Beckham and Tom Ford, among others, are also up for prizes.

Chrysler Planning 9-Speed Automatic Transmission
News of a new 8-speed automatic for rear-drive Chrysler vehicles has been floating around for a few months now, but it appears as though the American automaker has one more trick – or should we say one more gear – up its sleeve. At Chrysler's recent dealer meeting (the first in three years) those in attendance heard about a new Viper and a host of other upcoming products. They were also told of a new 9-speed automatic transmission in the works. The new 9-speed auto-box is being built for front drive applications, although Marchionne did say that it will also be adaptable to AWD and hybrid setups. He gave no indication on when the unit would be available in a production model.
As for the 8-speed box, it is a version of the ZF 8-speed unit currently found on many BMW products and will first appear in rear-drive Chrysler products (like the 300C, Dodge Charger and Challenger) in 2012, significantly improving both fuel economy and acceleration.
The new 9-speed automatic would be suitable for AWD versions of cars like the Chrysler 300.

7 of the Most Absurd Moments in Crowdsourcing
Though crowdsourcing is an age-old means of problem-solving, it's only reached such notoriety in the last few decades. We all know about the big crowdsourcing ventures, such as the Wright brother's flight, but what about all the outlandish, insane, why would anyone want to donate money to that, campaigns. Well, we've scoured the corners of the internet (you're welcome) to bring you seven of the strangest things to ever be crowdsourced.
1. Five O'clock Shadow
With the rise of the man bun/grizzly beard combo in hipsterland, it's no wonder that someone wanted to create an add-on beard. The creator of the campaign, Tessa Rushton, posed the beard as "a hand-knitted functional beard face mask." The design comes complete with cotton-poly lining and face straps. The campaign was launched in 2012 and managed to exceed its goal of $3,000. So, as the cold weather starts to set in, you can rest easy knowing that 5 O'clock Shadow is only a button click away.
2. Meat Soap
Yes, you read that correctly. Meat. Soap. This campaign ran on the belief that "the aroma of freshly cooked bacon should linger long after breakfast." Who doesn't love the smell of bacon? I, for one, could definitely stand for bacon to have a presence in more aspects of my life, but in the shower? I think I'd have to pass. 42 people disagreed with that sentiment and donated over $1,500 to create this soap from animal byproducts and rendered fats.
3. TARDIS in Orbit
Any fans of Doctor Who out there? Well, for the show's 50th anniversary, a campaign launched to put a TARDIS in orbit. The goal was to garner $33,000, but the group more than doubled that, ending up with a grand total of $88,000! We still have yet to see the launching of the TARDIS.
4. Lionel Richie's Head
Hello, is it Lionel's head you're looking for? If so, you could have caught a giant inflatable sculpture version of it at 2013's Bestival festival. Creators aimed to have the inflatable erected during the four-day music festival at Robin Hill county park on the Isle of Wight, England. In the end, the goal of 4,900 Euros was almost doubled to a whopping 8,016 Euros.
5. Watermelon Holder
Because watermelons are just too heavy to carry on their own.
The Watermelon Holder is exactly what you think it is. A strap that wraps around a watermelon and allows you to carry it like a purse. I guess not many people are carrying watermelons on-the-go these days though, because the campaign only garnered 6 backers, which wasn't nearly enough to reach their $25,000 goal.
6. Potato Salad
When most people decide they'd like to make potato salad, they simply go to the store, buy the ingredients and get started. But, not Zack Danger Brown. He set a campaign for $10 for said potato salad. With a description of "I'm making potato salad," Brown managed to raise $55,000. He ended up donating a large portion of the funds to fighting homelessness.
7. Chicken Burrito
Continuing the trend of crowdsourcing for food, Noboru Bitoy, a graphic design student, started a campaign with high ambitions, i.e he wanted to raise $8 for a chicken burrito from Chipotle. In return for the money, he pledged to rate the burrito on a "Deliciousness Graph." The campaign raised $1000, and Bitoy continued on to rate all 24 different combinations of chicken burritos available at Chipotle.
What do all of these campaigns have in common? They actually received funding. So, if 42 people are willing to pay to bring meat soap into existence, just imagine how many people would be willing to support your idea. All you have to do is take the first step.

About This Class
No Coding Required! Create a Professional Photography Website where you can sell your work and maximize your profits!
What is this course about?
Any Photographer that would like to sell their pictures online soon finds out that not only are there quite a few prepackaged services available, but that most of them are not quite the complete package and they can be fairly expensive to operate. They are either missing the eCommerce/Sales functionality, or that is all they have and they are missing the general website pages your business also needs. Not having a big budget to pay for development or the skills to build their own solution many Photographers end up with only a partial/incomplete solution.
This course not only solves this problem but it will also help you maximize your profits.
I have been selling my work online since 2007 and have tried all of the products on the market and will show you the easiest, most cost effective solution available. No coding is required, we use only drag and drop functions and there are not any out of pocket costs – yes you will be able to build and have your business up and running for free and in less than 90 minutes!
What Types of Photographers is this for?
I will show you how to build an online solution that supports all types of Photography Business Models and interest/experience levels including:
- Wedding Photographers
- Portrait Photographers
- Senior Photographers
- Fine Art Photographers
- Hobbyists
Specifically, this course will teach you:
- How to create an Awesome Professional Website and Blog using Weebly.
- How to create and integrate Awesome Online Galleries using Pixieset into your newly created website.
Why choose this course over other courses?
- This is the only Course teaching this specific solution for Photographers!
- It uses all simple drag and drop design!

I have been living and breathing HDR Photography since 2007!
Photography has been a passion for over 40 years, since the age of 13 when I taught myself photography, darkroom processing and built my first enlarger with a handsaw, scrap plywood and a light bulb borrowed from the living room.
I had a second awakening with the discovery of the High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR) late in 2007 where with a good set of images, the results can be truly spectacular and this has been my workflow for the last 9 years. Beyond just trying to frame a good image, the process is a much more intimate involvement with the creation of art, and a new cycle of creative development continues to evolve for me.
From Nature, to Cars and Bikes my work has been very successful, from being featured as an EasyRiders and V-Twin magazines motorcycle artist for the year to a Top Ten finalist in the Nature Conservancy's first ever digital photography contest.
Taking pride in, and being able to produce quality images with point and shoot cameras also resulted in my work published along with Trey Ratcliff at Stuck in Customs in Ferrell McCollough's awesome book "The Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography" in 2008.
I have been involved in training since 1986 when I was trained by the US Navy in Curriculum Development and Instructional technologies and since then have given live presentations to over 36,000 students. In addition to being a Certified Instructor and Master Training Specialist for the Navy I am also a Federally Certified Law Enforcement Instructor.
My work is online at Adams Views Imaging and I also run an Online International Monthly Photography Competition at The Motif Collective.
