Everest charts a dark day on our largest mountain
EVEREST IS the retelling of one of the biggest disasters ever to take place on the world's most famous mountain.
It's a traditional docudrama in the truest sense of the world, in that it sets out to recreate the events during a fatal three-day period in May 1996.
While its storytelling power sometimes wobbles, it demands to be seen on the biggest screen you can find. If you live near Dublin, that's an IMAX, where the film's visual effects look nothing short of spectacular.
In terms of capturing the sheer scale of what it takes to conquer the world's highest mountain, Everest delivers. But there's a very tragic human story at its core too.
The movie also sets out to capture the various incidents –
including errors, oversights and sheer bad luck – that led to the deaths of eight climbers over one day in 1996.
That death toll was dwarfed by the shocking earthquake that caused an avalanche last year, leading to 22 deaths. But for many years the events of 1996 were the darkest in mountaineering history.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays the gung-ho US mountaineer Scott Fischer, one of a new breed of climbers who was bringing groups of thrill seekers to attempt the summit.
As head of the adventure group Mountain Madness, he enjoyed a friendly rivalry with New Zealander Rob Hall (a very good Jason Clarke). As head of Adventure Consultants, he favoured a cautious approach, anxious as he was to respect the mountain and get home safely to his pregnant wife (played by Keira Knightley).
The climbers include a postman and a doctor, Beck Weathers (Josh Brolin) as they fight to get to safety.
Whether or not you're aware of the fate of these various characters before going to see the film, it does a fine job of creating time and place and the dilemmas and judgement calls the climbers face, often in treacherous conditions.
It successfully charts the decisions and planning the climbers make, as well as covering the various elements – delays and congestion at the Hillary Step, missing ropes and a series of devastating storms – that helped contribute to the tragedy.
The movie's old-fashioned in its approach, documenting events rather than giving us any real insight into what motivated the climbers. In this case it works very effectively, though that lack of back- story may alienate some viewers.

Efficiency Estimates for the Agricultural Production in Vietnam: A Comparison of Parametric and Non-parametric Approaches
This paper uses both parametric and non-parametric approaches to estimate technical, allocative, and economic efficiencies for the agriculture production in sixty provinces of Vietnam in the period 1990-2005. Under different technology specifications, both approaches show that the average technical, allocative, and economic efficiency estimates were not high, and there would be a large room for the studied provinces to improve their agricultural production efficiency. To examine consistency of the estimates from two approaches under different specifications of returns to scale, we use Spearman rank test, and the results indicate that parametric and non-parametric approaches provide different estimates.

Indigo printed and coloured paper collage. 28 x 41.9 cm [11 x 16.5 inches].Edition of 25 works, signed and numbered verso.Produced by Book Works.
Untitled - 1, 2013, 2015, was produced at Book Works, London, exclusively for the Whitechapel Gallery to accompany Anna Parkina's works included in Adventures of the Black Square: Abstract Art and Society, 1915- 2015.
Born in Moscow, Russia in 1979, Parkina's collages and sculptures are a dialogue between the past and the present, highlighting social and political contradictions between the Communist past and the capitalist present of Russia. This dialogue between old and new is reinforced by her technique of creating geometric shapes and images from old newspaper and magazine cuttings, frequently featuring Soviet architectural structures. Her diverse range of work draws inspiration from the early–twentieth-century Russian avant-garde, in particular propaganda posters and photomontages by Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitsky.
Selected shows include solo exhibitions at Wilkinson Gallery, London, (2012); LVMH Space, Brussels; Nests, Gladstone Gallery, New York, USA (2010); Silent Corner of Field, GMG Gallery, Moscow (2009); For a Black Day, Ribordy Contemporary, Geneva, Switzerland and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, US ( 2011). Group Shows include: Adventures of the Black Square, Abstract Art and Society, 1915-2015, Whitechapel Gallery , 2015; Perspectives on Collage, The Photographers Gallery, London (2013); Marbled Reams, The Modern Institute, Glasgow (2012); Modernikon: Contemporary Art from Russia, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin. Parkina is based in Russia and is represented by Wilkinson.

I met Abel on the plane to Marrakech and he kindly invited us to his hotel for my sister's 60th birthday. He sent a driver for us and we didn't know where we were going! What an amazing surprise...an old fort set in beautiful, well kept grounds with stunning scenery all around. Although I am a wheelchair user and would not recommend this hotel for wheelchair users due to the steps, I was treated like royalty! The staff carried me to the terrace where we were served iced water, mint tea, cakes and biscuits. The terrace overlooked the pool area and little olive grove where dining tables were set out. Bird song filled the air. Then we were taken to the pool where sunbeds had been prepared and more refreshments provided by the politest and most gracious waiter I have ever met. After a swim in the lovely clean pool we were served lunch next to the olive trees . Small pots of fresh growing lavender on the table were a lovely touch.Lunch was delicious, fresh salads followed by chicken and apricot tagine with a selection of fresh vegetables, all cooked and served to perfection. Dessert was a tarte tatin , followed by coffee. The service was impeccable. Abel, his beautiful wife and daughter came to welcome us warmly. We wished we could have stayed for longer, the spa facilities looked amazing. We will definitely revisit this sanctuary again and thank the staff for their exceptional care.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

The chairman of a United Nations conference negotiating a climate treaty said on Thursday that he was willing to delay the target date that countries would have to start cutting emissions of heat-trapping gases. His offer of such a compromise was widely seen as a bid to gain Japan's support for the treaty, known as the Kyoto Protocol.
The proposal came during a speech to the Dutch Parliament by the chairman, Jan Pronk, who heads the negotiations and is the Dutch environmental minister.
He outlined a way to soften the treaty's rules that might make it easier for a country like Japan, facing a recession, to participate.
The current language of the treaty would require 38 industrialized countries to reduce their annual emissions, averaged between 2008 and 2012, to more than 5 percent below where they stood in 1990.
''I can imagine that it would be possible to postpone the date of 2008 by two years, to 2010,'' Mr. Pronk said, according to The Associated Press and European wire services.Continue reading the main story
Until now, European officials have uniformly resisted any change in the timetable or targets of the proposal.
Nonetheless, many experts on the treaty predicted that Mr. Pronk's move was too little, too late -- with the only chance of American support evaporating after European negotiators rejected proposals from the Clinton administration last November.
The treaty was negotiated in Kyoto in 1997 and signed by the Clinton administration and 167 other governments, but countries remain deeply divided over its fine print and no large industrialized country has ratified it.
The treaty has been rejected by President Bush as ''fatally flawed'' because it excuses developing nations from obligatory emissions cuts and could, according to the Bush administration, harm the economy.
But it could still take effect if countries responsible for more than half of the industrialized world's 1990 emissions of warming gases support it.
The European Union has said it would push to ratify the treaty without the United States. But without the support of Japan, a large source of emissions, it would be nearly impossible to reach the threshold for enactment.Continue reading the main story


text: At around 15 mins into the first half, Brentford had a free kick on the edge of the penalty area. Stockers was trying to line up the wall but 3 of the biggest BFC players kept deliberately standing in his way... so that he couldn't see and adjust his line. Morally it's shitty but is there a rule of bad sportsmanship which could come into force from the ref?

He also said that he rarely shares his feelings like this.
A guy told me that if he knew that I was his he'd be able to die a happy man. Does it mean he's in love with me?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
Or trying to get laid.00|00|0
We've known each other for almost 2 years and at first he wasn't like that, just casual talk and a bit flirting, but now he says things like that and I know he's not used to say such things. And I just wonder if he likes me/in love with me
Do you really have to ask? Do you want him to rip his heart out and put it in your hands to believe that he loves you?00|00|0
It's just really complicated because we're talking for 1,5 years but we live in different countries and have never met. I know that a long-distance relationship is a really rare thing, that's why I'm asking. And by the way he's British and he even told me that British people aren't used to share their deep feelings and everyone in his life don't care that much about other people. What do you think?
Well, you didn't tell us the back story, so forgive my ambush. My answer is still the same, though. The man is obviously pouring his heart out and he has admitted how hard it is for him to express his feelings, so you should not really be confused about any of this. He likes you a lot and wants you to be his, now it is up to you to decide what to do going forward. IF you think the long distance thing is a hassle and there is probably no chance of you meeting or settling down together in the future, then you should just let him know. If, however, you feel like there is a chance that this might work out between the two of you (provided that you share the same feelings about him), then you should also let him know that you would like to be his gal and would enjoy more of his love.
Good luck to ya. : )

Sorry about being away from the blog yesterday. The end of the month usually finds me in busy-beaver mode, and I was working away, putting the finishing touches on a set of liner notes for both Radio Spirits and First Generation Radio Archives—two collections that I unfortunately need to keep mum about for the time being, because I don't wish to steal anyone's thunder.
I made a trip to Publix yesterday morning with my mother, and I was distressed in that they no longer apparently carrying Sun Drop at the Atlanta Highway location. A friend of mine from the In the Balcony boards introduced me to this tasty citrus beverage bottled in Tennessee (it has since been purchased by Cadbury Beverages and is in the fold that features 7-Up, A&W Root Beer, Sunkist and RC Cola). (Does anyone even drink RC Cola anymore? The last time I sampled some it tasted as if it were de-carbonated by design.) Apparently I'm the only one whoever purchased this at Publix (along with a 12 pack of Orange Crush); maybe the next time I go in I'll ask what the deal is.
In the comments section on my Carson-Morgan post, Andrew Leal of Spanish Popeye was good enough to point me in the direction of Tobacco Documents.org, as well as the script library of the Old Time Radio Researchers Group, who downloaded a lot of the OTR scripts available at Tobacco—some of which I did not have (it would appear that I have some assorted scripts not in the OTTRG archives as well). I was tickled to find, in a routine search at Documents, that they have available for download some television scripts that were sponsored by Pall Mall—among them Make Room for Daddy (which is nice, considering the shows appear to be no longer in syndication or available period), M Squad, Tales of Wells Fargo and Boris Karloff's Thriller. With the assistance of Tobacco and OTTRG, I was able to beef up and cover some gaps in my Abbott & Costello, Blondie and Durante & Moore collections. (If you have a lot of free time, you should go on over and check it out—fascinating artifacts of history, and since many of these shows no longer exist in recorded form the scripts are the next best thing.)
I haven't been afforded the opportunity to see too many movies in the past few days, but I did manage to revisit Super-Sleuth (1937) on Thursday (a fun comedy starring Jack Oakie as an obnoxious movie star whose popular movies—in which he plays a detective—spur him on to try and solve a murder) and Border Incident (1949) on Friday: a great film noir directed by Anthony Mann and starring George Murphy and Ricardo Montalban as a pair of Feds trying to bring down an illegal operation exploiting Mexican brasseros (Montalban is first-rate, and even Murphy's better than usual). Last night I caught a pair of James Earl Jones films that I hadn't seen previously, the first being The Great White Hope (1970), a boxing flick loosely based on the career of pugilist Jack Johnson (the character is called Jack Jefferson here), which was first presented as a stage play written by Howard Sackler (who also wrote the screenplay). Jones was splendid as a boxer whom the powers-that-be set out to crush (he's been dating white Jane Alexander, something that did not set well with the PTB at the time), and he's joined by a sensational cast of supporting character actors including Chester Morris (nice to see him go out with a winner), Lou Gilbert, Robert Webber, Marlene Warfield, R.G. Armstrong, Hal Holbrook, Beah Richards, Moses Gunn, Roy Glenn and Lloyd Gough. (There are also some great performers who unfortunately go uncredited, including Scatman Crothers, Lillian Randolph…and I swear I saw Zara Cully, the actress who played George Jefferson's mother on The Jeffersons before she passed on 1978.
The Great White Hope is the only film for which Jones ever earned an Oscar nomination, and I don't know what MPAAS was doing in 1995 (considering their ages, probably napping during the screeners) but how they missed tapping him for another nom for his performance in Cry, the Beloved Country is a question to which I think I might not want to know the answer. I've seen Jones in some sensational movies—Matewan (1987) and Field of Dreams (1989) are two particular standouts—but now I'm convinced that Country (an adaptation of Alan Paton's classic novel) is truly his finest hour onscreen. He was positively amazing as a South African preacher who journeys to Johannesburg in the days of apartheid looking for his lost son…and discovers that his flesh-and-blood is responsible for the shooting death of a man who's the son of a wealthy farmer/landowner (Richard Harris) in his village. The scenes with Harris and Jones—particularly when Jones reveals to Harris who his son is—will literally tear your heart in two. Country was filmed previously in 1951 (and as a musical, Lost in the Stars, in 1974) and features Canada Lee and Sidney Poitier; TCM will run this rare goodie in March (on the 19th at 2:00am EST) as part of a tribute to director Zoltan Korda.

Just stopped by for a few minutes and enjoyed the post. I haven't seen Cry The Beloved Country, but I will definitely put it on my list. BTW- interesting fact about Field of Dreams- according to Jeffery Lyons, Jones had never been to a baseball game in his life before filming Field of Dreams. I recently heard Lyons say that on the Bob Costas radio show.

Thanks, Mr. Z! Under the tutelage of my esteemed colleague Tom Sutpen, I have gathered a big honkin' collections of images off the Web and will be rotating them (usually on my whim) in the header space from time to time. The Tarzan is really one of my favorites, though -- it may be back.

I spend a good deal of time moaning about my patch on this blog. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole flock of Linnets feeding on a disturbed patch of earth in Acton Park. Great Spotted Woodpeckers were drumming away, and the teeny, wee pond in Southfields was crammed with frogs. The local Song Thrush was keeping me entertained by first "doing" car alarm, and then parakeet, reflecting the joys of urban birding.
My Mallards are back. They breed each year in the fetid beer-can pond in Acton Park - disappearing as soon as all the ducklings have been predated, and then reappearing as good as gold every February. I shall keep you up to date with the birth and demise of the ducklings. Patchlist total 36.

All that is familiar and foreign comes together in who we are and what we want to be... challenging nature and inviting more of ourselves :) --Artist's statement "
This is THE BEST Burning Man video I have yet seen. It most closely captures, for me, what it is like to be on the playa, communing and expanding with our people, freaking out in Black Rock City amongst beauty, variety and freedom.

Torsten's playa bike
August/25/2011 Filed in: burner culture
Bay Area-based honorary Get Founder Torsten was recently featured in an online article about playa bikes:
TORSTEN HASSELMANN (12 years at Burning Man)
Origin of bike: I built and welded it and myself out of the town dump when I lived in Wyoming. Among other things the handlebars used to be a shopping cart frame.
Accessories: Minimal, just the bike here, though I used to enjoy EL (electroluminescent) wire so I put some on the bars for lighting back in 2004 and still use it to not get run over.
Advice for last minute bike builders: Start earlier next time and make it fun for everybody.
Tips for riding on the Playa: Keep it upright.
Most important in a Burner bike: Hopefully it's not just fun for you, but brightens other peoples' experience as well.

Moze's Top Ten ART PROJECTS
August/15/2010 Filed in: art & music
From the Burning Blog: Welcome to the BIG CITY and BRIGHT LIGHTS, where it is said "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere," and in Black Rock City by "it" I mean ART and by "make it there" I mean live, breathe, eat, sleep, follow your vision, work your ass off, raise your money, maintain cohesion in your group, create your dream and behold it there.
Then take a breath and load your trucks and GET OUT TO THE PLAYA to work another week or more in circumstances only someone as MAD as a Burning Man Artist could appreciate to put the thing up, all for the sake of GIFTING IT and SHARING your VISION with all of our FAIR CITY.
We are all like 40 THOUSAND moths attracted to those ENCHANTING PLAYA LIGHTS, twinkling and glowing all alone in the dark expanse, and the essence of ART is CREATION and CREATION is the ACTION of MAGIC.
So to this year's ARTISTS, I say THANK YOU for your MAGICAL GIFTS, one and all.

Defining Moments, 2009
September/18/2009 Filed in: afterburn | burner culture
This Burn was my third (nonconsecutive) pilgrimage to the playa and the most powerful by far. Seeking a way to ground my energy and emotions upon returning to my homeground in the Pacific Northwest, I headed out to the San Juan Islands last weekend to visit two dear friends at their home on a cliff above the wild shore. I told stories about my experiences at the Burn for hours; a few days later, one of the friends commented "you seem humbled by your Burn this time around." That is a perfect description of my current state: humbled. Also: in awe. thankful. blessed. in love. connected. pregnant with possibilties. floating in a state of grace, not fully existing in this world or that.
"Tell us about one of your defining moments on the playa this year …" is the question John Curley posted on the Burning Blog last week, and over 75 Burners fresh from their Black Rock City tenure answer with stories that are moving, hilarious, sacred, bittersweet, transformative and heartfelt. I connect to the thread of humility that is braided through the many impressions shared. I feel waves of playa-love pulsing through my newly-reinvigorated heart as I read these personal reflections. I hope you can feel them too, and I invite you to share your own defining moment in the comments at the end of the post.
* * * * * *
One evening early in the week, as the sun was setting, I walked out into the desert alone, behind BRC, where there was no one. I was utterly alone, no other humans near by. I asked my creator what I should do. My creator informed me that I must lose the costume first…and so away it went, layer by layer, and then the jewelry, and necklaces…all of it off, I stood completely naked, bathed in the blazing colors of the setting sun. I walked away from my belongings, and my footprints appeared in the cracks before me, before I stepped into them, the footprints appeared. They were already there, waiting for me to fill them. My body found a rhythm and I intuitively moved in a kind of slow ti-chi-yoga dance, that let my joints crack and free themselves of their restrictions. I have been in several accidents, have broken many bones and have limited range of motion, but I felt freed of all of it. Free of pain, regret, fear…..FREE. With my creator that evening, I found myself once again. A child, an embryo, a man, a woman, all together, all encompassing, a creative being of light….free to BE… as I was gifted this life to be.
Later that evening, a fellow burner gave me a bumper sticker that says 'Fear is Funny'.
And I have not stopped smiling since.
* * * * * *
I decided to trek to the temple alone on Saturday afternoon after much debauchery. I was delivered into a dust storm on the way, and couldn't see a single structure or living person at first. Rather than feeling worried it was the most peaceful experience of my life. Later, I would come apon pockets of people and art that would recede into the dust again like apparitions. I finally made it to the temple and cried like a little girl- for me, for loved ones, for everyone there. It was like my soul was wiped clean for the very first time. It was so stunning and surreal.
* * * * * *
Watching the temple burn with friends, we were awestruck when a phenomenal cellist humbly played next to us. We listened for a half hour while he drew all the sorrow, love, yearning and spirit of the temple through his strings, and then moved on. I am so grateful for that beautiful experience.
Also, I got to surrender to the moment many times this year – going with the flow, against my programming and typical behavior or responses, I got to experience immediacy more than I ever have before in 10 years of participating in Burningman. Here's to playadipity!
* * * * * *
2 years ago I was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. Last November, after a year of radiation and chemo I was told I only had 'weeks or months' to live. Being at Burning Man again this year was a triumph for me and an affirmation of life. When I put a message on the temple I started to cry because I suddenly realized I had changed from thinking about dieing to thinking about living. That was a moment I will never forget.

"Yer goin' where? To do what?"
August/28/2009 Filed in: getting ready | burner culture
Photo by John Curley; The Man 8/26/2009.
Some last thoughts before leaving for Burning Man 2009
1.) Camp dBM location : Because of our (hopeful) partnership with another larger camp that we're drawing power from, we ended up involuntarily situated at the far edge of Black Rock City -- 2:15ish and Lineage, or on the perimeter out by walk-in camping. AKA, the Boonies, or as Torsten called it, The Frontier. This is exciting for several reasons. First of all, I wonder: what the hell goes on way out there??? I've camped near Center Camp and the Deep End (accidentally) and on the Esplanade, and so have always been, for better or for worse, close in to the downtown BRC action. What will it be like on the Frontier? Will there be periods of peace and tranquility? Does anybody wander by out there? What's it like trying to get around on bikes from way out there? And just what exactly are those walk-in campers up to? With all of these questions unanswerable until we strike camp and find out, I am psyched to be getting a new perspective on the city. I can't fathom that there's a "bad spot" to camp -- except for a few camps I wouldn't care to be next to -- only different spots, providing for different perspectives. Sounds like a good way to keep the Burn fresh! Secondly, which leads me to...
2.) the natural vibes of the Black Rock Desert. I expect the Frontier positioning, with our camp facing outward towards open playa and the hills, to allow me, for the first time, to try and discern some aspect of the natural vibrations of this special place. I typically move through the world attuned to the natural world around me, noticing the birds and plants, reading the landscape. Down at Burning Man, this hasn't really been a part of my experience -- in part because there doesn't seem to be anything living for several miles, as well as because the humanoid stimuli is so overpowering! Imagine bird-watching during Carnival or Mardi Gras, netting butterflies on the Las Vegas strip, Id'ing fungi in Alice's Wonderland. Not likely. I do remember, in 2007, taking a personal timeout one night and biking out to the trash fence on the edge of Deep Playa, sitting down and gazing out at the desert. I felt an electric charge when I slowed down and focused on the vastness of open space out there, how far the playa stretched on to the horizon, how incomprehensibly vast the cosmos above was and how many stars it held. I think that it is the only time I've dialed in to the natural powers of the Black Rock, and I look forward to making more of an effort to do so this year. Another way to keep it fresh.
Speaking of nature...

awesome office and doctor
I came in for a staph infection. The staff was awesome and my wait was very short. The visit was unpleasant because of all the pain I was in, but he took care of it and made sure I was on the right medication. The staff insisted I came in right away and said I would have ended up in the hospital if I didn't come. They were right as confirmed my Dr. Meyers. I will continue to come back as long as I need an ent. Highly recommended

Highly recommended
I had no problems with this doctor. I was able to get a same day appointment and the staff was knowledgeable and the nicest of any doctor's I've ever been to. He did an ear surgery on me and made sure I understood everything that was going to happen prior to the procedure. The visits after surgery were very easy the staff made sure I came in for all my follow ups. I will continue to be a patient here as long as he's in practice. He doesn't say much, and is straight and through and to the point.

Good Doc but not a Talker
He took care of a ruptured ear drum for me and removed my daughter's tonsils. Very pleased with both procedures. Dr. Meyers is a man of few words. His staff is great.

Scary Movies!
So, the boyfriend and I watched 'Dark Skies' today and ummm....no. Just no no no no never again no. I used to LOVE scary movies and now they're just too much for me. I had a horrible night terror half way through my pregnancy with Lucas, and now I can't handle anything slightly scary. Even just TALKING about something scary, I start crying so easily. Ugh. I used to be so tough lol.
Any of you mamas love scary movies? :)

text: In many communities, women are often the last to eat. It is common for a woman to have no control or say over her medical care or the medical care of her children. Women often do as much or more labor as men, but have far less access to family income and economic opportunities. To bring justice for women, change has to happen withing the family, within the church and within the community. Channels of Hope for Gender is a program that works with the community, through the church, to increase justice for women. Early outcomes show that coming together as a whole can improve the lives of women and girls within a community.

Christopher Kane: I want my sneakers to surprise
Christopher Kane has designed his first sneaker collection.
The British designer is one of the biggest names on London's fashion scene, and his September (15) London Fashion Week Show attracted the likes of Amber and Yasmin Le Bon. His design talents were also sought out by Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael at the Burn Burn Burn screening last week (beg12Oct15) in the British capital.
However, Christopher has recently turned his attention to athletic footwear, with three styles that will be sold exclusive on Net-A-Porter and Mr Porter. The looks each feature the designer's signature elastic strap and safety buckle.
"I get bored very easily, so I like to change and surprise with my collections," Christopher divulged to Vogue Australia. "My influences for the trainers were function mixed with a strong Christopher Kane ID and signature. I wanted to create a classic shape that was modern without retro-isms and that can be worn by everyone."
Sneaker fans will be able to get their hands on a pair for one month only from late October (15). The shoes were made in Italy from neoprene, with the designs inspired from Christopher's Resort 16 and Spring/Summer 16 collections. Colours include a black pair with a neon yellow strap and muted tones of light blue and taupe with black straps for the other two styles.
"My trainer has the right balance of fashion and sportiness that are easy to pull on with jeans or an evening gown if you like!" Christopher smiled. "They work both ways, and I wanted that freedom."
The trainers are only the tip of the iceberg for the British designer right now, and his namesake label is busy expanding into new retail space and the online world.
"There is so much going on right now," he explained. "I have just opened my first store on Mount Street (in London) and have recently launched our own website with a view to open e-com soon."

My company sponsored an event here as a team building exercise. I was quite concerned about painting anything, heck I don't even enjoy painting the house. My fears grew as I entered the venue and saw the paintings on the wall from past participants. They were quite good.
Redeeming the event was the good food and the wine provided. The painting activity was done as a team so we didn't have do do everything ourselves. We had a trained artist working with us which helped a great deal. The artist had already painted a model picture so we knew what the painting should look like.
The process of painting was quite interesting from the point of view of a non-painter. I didn't realize how many layers have to be created to get to the final picture. Our picture looked easy but it was quite involved. We had eight teams working on different pictures so there was a lot of opportunity to see what others were doing. The final pictures turned out quite well and our team was voted to have the best painting by the artists.
I can enthusiastically recommend this activity. It was very exciting, educational and just a lot of fun. I think makingit he event a competition added to the fun. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience.

X18-M is a 1.8-inch drive and the X25-M is 2.5 inches. Both are SATA drives available in 80-GB capacities. Intel plans to introduce samples of 160-GB models in the fourth quarter.
Computer manufacturers are offering SSDs in ultralight laptops and mini-notebooks, which are used primarily for e-mail and Web browsing. SSDs are particularly useful in these machines because the drives are lighter and use less power than hard disk drives. Major computer makers such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo offer SSDs in notebooks.
The X18-M and X25-M are based on Intel's multilevel cell memory. The technology that differentiates the SSDs from competitors, according to Intel, includes highly parallel 10x NAND flash channels and "native command queuing" that enable up to 32 concurrent operations for faster performance.
The 80-GB version of the drives achieves read speeds of up to 250-MB per second and write speeds up to 70-MB per second, according to Intel. The drives have a read latency of 85 microseconds and cost $595 each in quantities of up to 1,000. Intel expects the drives to be available in customers' products in the next few weeks.
Intel plans to introduce a line of single-level cell SSD for servers and storage environments within 90 days. The X25-E SATA drive, which uses less energy, runs cooler, and takes up less space than disk drives, will reduce overall infrastructure costs while increasing performance per square foot by as much as 50 times, according to Intel.
Intel first introduced the new drives in August during its Developer Forum in San Francisco.
While SSD proponents herald the higher performance and lower energy consumption of SSDs, the drives cost considerably more per gigabyte than traditional hard disk drives, which also get high marks for reliability. In the data center, experts say, SSDs make sense for high-performance workloads, but recommend using traditional disk arrays to meet other storage needs.

When viewed from a materialistic standpoint it would seem that substance is our first need in the form of food. Viewed from the spiritual, the first requisites would be the subtler forms of nourishment gained by breathing fresh air, bathing in sunshine, and drinking pure water. The priorities alter with one's perception but certainly the argument that food is top priority is flawed when we can exist in good health for weeks without food, only days without water, only minutes without air.
Nevertheless, although it may reasonably lose its place as top priority, nourishment through food is certainly top of the list for many of us and to assume a very important part of daily life and often daily indulgences.

Updated to include Wells Fargo comments and capex financials in 9th paragraph.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Comcast (CMCSA) was gaining Monday as the largest U.S. cable provider reported an increase in TV subscribers in the fourth-quarter, its first in six years, boosting profits to $1.9 billion, or 72 cents a share.
In its December-ended fourth quarter, Philadelphia-based Comcast managed to increase cable video subscriptions for the first time in 26 quarters as it seeks to capitalize on the transition to net-based entertainment (think YouTube, Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu) over traditional TV networks. Over the quarter, Comcast gained 43,000 new video subscribers, compared to a loss of 129,000 in its third quarter.
Comcast, which also own NBC/Universal, was adding 1.6% to $53.32 in mid-afternoon trading.
Combined video, high-speed internet and voice customers increased 649,000, a 29% jump in net additions compared to the year-ago quarter. By year's end, customers in the segment totaled 53.1 million, 3.4% higher than in 2012, thanks to increased internet and voice subscribers and reduced video customer losses.
"Cable's operating metrics improved across video, high-speed Internet and voice for both the 4th quarter and full year, with a return to video subscriber growth in the 4th quarter," said CEO Brian L. Roberts in a statement.
Fourth-quarter consolidated revenue across all segments saw a 6.2% year-over-year increase to $16.93 billion, $301 million more than analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected. Similarly, full-year revenue of $64.66 billion beat consensus by $305 million and jumped 5.8% from fiscal 2012 (excluding artificially-high sales from the 2012 London Olympics and 2012 Super Bowl).

Wadena County issues warrant for former vice-presidential candidate LaDuke
WADENA, Minn. - Authorities in Wadena County this week issued a warrant for two-time vice presidential candidate and American Indian activist Winona LaDuke in relation to a traffic stop.
According to Wadena County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Bill Cross, LaDuke was pulled over on Nov. 21 and she was cited for not having a current insurance card in her vehicle.
"She failed to make a court appearance or pay her fine," Cross said, leading a judge to issue a bench warrant for her arrest.
The charge is a misdemeanor, and after adding a warrant fee, she owed $325 bail to Wadena County, if she chose to plead guilty.
"I tried to pay it over the phone," LaDuke said in a phone interview. "They told me I had to pay it in person."
LaDuke, 50, said she had a current insurance card, but it wasn't in the vehicle. She said Tuesday she planned to pay the fine at the Becker County Courthouse in Detroit Lakes, Minn., to clear up the warrant.
LaDuke is busy rebuilding her home in Ponsford, which burned down in late 2008.
LaDuke campaigned twice as Ralph Nader's running mate for the White House in 1996 and 2000. She is a Harvard-educated economist and the founding director of the White Earth Land Recovery Project.
Steve Schultz is a reporter at the Wadena (Minn.) Pioneer Journal, which is owned by Forum Communications Co.
