Balance. Rarely has Walker Fine Art come up with an exhibit as successful as Balance, which pairs recent abstract paintings by Denver artist Don Quade with abstract sculptures by Colorado Springs-based Bill Burgess. Quade was formerly at Fresh Art Gallery, but Walker picked him up when Fresh Art closed last year. His work in mixed media combines expressionism and geometric abstraction, contrasting approaches that make for pronounced juxtapositions of scribbles and hard-edged shapes. These recent paintings feature light-colored grounds with darker marks laid on top -- something of a change for Quade, who was previously known for his all-dark canvases. Burgess is among the deans of contemporary sculpture in the state, with more than forty years of making art under his belt. These most recent sculptures are based on simple, pre-historic shapes such as arcs, circles and spirals and are made of rusted or stainless steel, or both. A monumental version of one will be completed this spring in Confluence Park. Jointly designed by Burgess and architect David Barber, the sculpture will be a giant fifty-foot helix rising out of a pool. Through May 7 at Walker Fine Art, 300 West 11th Avenue, #A, 303-355-8955.
Chihuly. Michael De Marsche, president of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, has orchestrated the extravaganza Chihuly, a sprawling survey of the career of glass master Dale Chihuly. Working near Seattle, Chihuly is among the best-known glass artists of all time, right up there with Louis Comfort Tiffany and Paolo Venini. De Marsche, following the formula he's established in other exhibits over the past couple of years, set Chihuly within the context of the CSFAC's spectacular Southwestern and American Indian collections. And then there's the incomparable setting of the iconic John Gaw Meem-designed building itself. Chihuly's illustrious career is surveyed beginning with the oldest pieces, from his very first generation of vases done in the 1970s to some brand-new, hot-from-the-furnaces chandeliers and towers. During those thirty years, his work became increasingly expressionistic, a product of his awareness of the Venetian aesthetic. The show is installed throughout the center, and there are even examples displayed outdoors in the courtyard. An opening reception is planned for Thursday, April 21, from 6 to 9 p.m. Through August 14 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, 30 West Dale Street, Colorado Springs, 1-719-634-5581.
Contemporary Realism and Americana. It's amazing that in the current art world, where it seems like everyone is searching for the next outrageous irony, good old-fashioned representational painters are still going strong. Come to think of it, that's an irony in itself, though no surprise; this kind of thing is so very viewer-friendly. The exhibit, Contemporary Realism, installed on the William Havu Gallery's first floor, is a trio featuring new landscapes by Rick Dula, Aaron Brown and Jeff Aeling. Dula is interested in what he calls "de-industrialization," and he conjures up romantic views of closed and dilapidated factories. Brown creates enigmatic narrative paintings that may or may not be based on actual places. Aeling's paintings of clouds and fields, on the other hand, are clearly based on actual locales on the Great Plains. In addition to the main attraction, Havu is presenting a group show on the theme of the cultural landscape. The show on the mezzanine, aptly titled Americana, includes depictions of roadside attractions by artists from the gallery's stable. Through May 7 at the William Havu Gallery, 1040 Cherokee Street, 303-893-2360.

Leaving Aztln. The Center for Visual Art in LoDo is presenting a provocative show, Leaving Aztlán: Rethinking Contemporary Latino and Chicano Art. Kaytie Johnson from the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University put it together with input from, among others, CVA director Kathy Andrews. The show examines new trends being embraced by Latino and Chicano artists -- and by Latinas and Chicanas -- and in the process explores the convoluted relationships between art and ethnicity. Ten years ago this would have been an overtly political show, but now, though politics are still in the mix, there are also many pieces that express cutting-edge aesthetic theories. Artists from across the country were selected -- including Jesse Amado, Connie Arismendi, Javier Carmona, Alex Donis, Diana Guerrero-Mácia, John Hernandez, Benito Huerta, Chuck Ramirez, Juan Ramos and Rubén Ortiz Torres -- but Johnson also chose two local talents, Carlos Frésquez and Maria Michelle Gonzalez. Through April 23 at the Center for Visual Art, 1734 Wazee Street, 303-294-5207. Reviewed April 14.
Our Culture Is Our Resistance. The Colorado Photographic Arts Center only rarely presents single-artist exhibitions, as it's doing now with Our Culture Is Our Resistance: Repression, Refuge and Healing in Guatemala. The show focuses on the work of Denver photographer and CPAC member Jonathan Moller, who, between 1993 and 2003, took annual trips to Guatemala to capture village life in the war-torn country. The subjects of Moller's very ethnographic-style work are the indigenous Maya people who were terrorized and uprooted by the protracted civil war. At first glance, the photos seem to be slice-of-life shots, à la National Geographic, but it soon becomes apparent that they've been posed. The images are published in a book with the same epic title that includes poetry, essays and testimonials. It's available for purchase at CPAC, with sale proceeds going to the Association for Justice and Reconciliation in Guatemala. Note: This show will be the last CPAC offering until next fall, as the center's building will be extensively remodeled over the summer. Through April 23 at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, 1513 Boulder Street, 303-455-8999.
Siqueiros. The exhibition Siqueiros: Spirit of a Revolutionary at the Museo de las Américas is evidence that the beleaguered institution -- which all but collapsed last year -- is still alive and kicking. The gorgeous exhibit, put together by Alfonso Miranda Marquez of the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, includes more than a score of works by one of the greatest Mexican artists of all time: David Alfaro Siqueiros. Using paintings, drawings and watercolors, Marquez economically surveys the artist's career from the 1910s to the 1970s. Sigueiros was one of "Los Tres Grandes" of the Mexican mural movement, and like the other two -- Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco -- he created work with one eye on vanguard styles developing in Europe, and the other on left-wing political action at home in Mexico. An interesting aspect of Siqueiros's style is that it had an influence on artists in the United States, and not just the social realists, but the abstract expressionists, as well. Extended through May 28 at the Museo de las Américas, 861 Santa Fe Drive, 303-571-4401. Reviewed March 10.
Stefan Kleinschuster and Ann Hamilton. Surely Stefan Kleinschuster is one of the most gifted young representational painters active in Colorado. Kleinschuster's style is fairly unique, being related to both abstract expressionism and its polar opposite, contemporary realism. As unlikely as the combination is, it's thoroughly successful. The blending of the approaches means that from a distance, there's a sense of photographic accuracy in Kleinschuster's depictions of figures, while up close they're extremely abstract, a riot of marks, smears and slashes. Robischon Gallery has paired a Kleinschuster solo with photos from internationally famous conceptual artist Ann Hamilton's "Face" series of portraits. For these photos, Hamilton used her own open mouth as an aperture for pinhole exposures -- no, really. That's pretty zany, but the pieces are even stranger, because Hamilton believes that the act of confronting her subjects with her mouth open is a significant aspect of this work. The exhibits open on Friday, April 23, with a reception held on Thursday, April 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. Through June 4 at Robischon Gallery, 1740 Wazee Street, 303-298-7799.

THE New Zealand dollar has gained against the greenback as investors slowed down the liquidation of their trans-Tasman holdings.
The kiwi rose to 77.79 US cents at 5pm from 7.68 cents at 8am and 77.41 cents on Wednesday. The trade-weighted index rose to 74.07 from 73.85.
The Australian dollar hit a three-year low and the kiwi is near 12-month lows since investors decided to return to the greenback on the expectation the Federal Reserve will slow down its bond-buying programme this year.
"Expectations of the Fed tapering this year seem overpriced and overblown," said Dan Bell, currency strategist at HiFX in Auckland.
"We may have found a little bit of a base in the New Zealand dollar around 77 US cents."
Still, any gains may be muted due to the ongoing uncertainty in Egypt after President Mohamed Mursi was removed by the military.
"Investors are liquidating their emerging market positions and the Aussie and kiwi get tarred with the emerging markets brush," Mr Bell said.
The kiwi gained to 85.40 Australian cents from 84.96 cents on Wednesday after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept the door open for another rate cut when it reviewed monetary policy on Tuesday.
Deputy governor Philip Lowe said markets misinterpreted governor Glenn Stevens' comments, which sent the Australian dollar lower.
The kiwi gained to 59.87 euro cents from 59.68 cents on Wednesday and fell to 77.68 yen from 77.89 yen.

Labor MK Shochat May Quit Knesset
MK Avraham Shochat (Labor) may soon retire from the Knesset, and will not compete for a place on Labor's next Knesset list, political sources said yesterday.
When questioned by Haaretz, Shochat declined to comment, saying merely that if and when he has anything to announce, he will do so.
The sources said that Shochat's expected retirement from political life is not dependent on the outcome of Labor's upcoming leadership race, though he is backing one of the contenders, Ehud Barak. "Even if Barak wins the primary, it appears that Shochat's decision will not change," said a source.
Shochat also considered resigning from the Knesset four years ago, but his colleagues persuaded him to stay. Prior to the 2003 elections, he successfully ran for a spot on Labor's Knesset slate, winning a Knesset seat. However, he failed in his bid to be chosen as one of the party's ministers in the current unity government.
Shochat was first elected to the Knesset in 1988. In 1992, he became finance minister under Yitzhak Rabin, a post he held until the Likud regained power in 1996. In 1999, he was again appointed finance minister, this time by Barak, and remained in the post until Barak's government fell in 2001.
When Barak announced his return to politics following a three-year "time out," Shochat was one of the first MKs to declare his support. Shochat has long been an ideological opponent of Histadrut leader MK Amir Peretz, one of the several other candidates for Labor Party leadership.
If Shochat does resign from the Knesset, he will be replaced by former MK Salah Tarif, Labor's Druze representative.

TV cook Lorraine Pascale ditches pinny and oven gloves for this season's protective clothing – leather
Earlier this month, an epicurean tweeter called Craig Burke woke up to discover two of his heroines had left him messages. One was Nigella Lawson, the other Lorraine Pascale, each responding to a tweet of his. Posted, presumably, in the ecstasy of having just watched the latest edition of the younger chef's BBC Two series Lorraine's Fast, Fresh and Easy Food, Burke had declared: "Move over Nigella Lawson, there's a new domestic goddess in town, and she goes by the name of Lorraine Pascale." Far from being offended, Lawson tweeted, "I love her!", and her usurper replied: "I wish, but have you seen the size of my kitchen?!"

How To: TEMPTU 2.0 Airbrush SystemTuesday, February 04, 2014
I have freckles, acne marks and redness. The TEMPTU easily hides all of that. It also gave me a nice glow and contoured my face a bit. I really like using the airbrush system because I no longer have to worry about streaks and it is really easy to blend down to your neck quickly because that is something I often forget. You do need to blend around your eyes though, gently, with your finger, as there are a lot of crooks and crannies that the airbrush somehow misses. Also be aware that it will probably get into your hairline. This is why I wore a headband but you can also just use your hand to block the spray from your hair :)
Here is my final Dennis Basso SPRING 2014 NYFW inspired look:
You guys can also watch my video tutorial in which I provide some other tips and show you guys how to use it! Unfortunately you can't view it on your phone because of copyright infringement but you can still view it on your computer (for now anyways!). I'm going to be uploading a new video this week without copyrighted music too :)

@vanessa Yes it is just foundation, blush, highlighter and bronzer - once it dries you can put powder over it if you need to, plus regular eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc :)ReplyDelete
This is beautiful! I used to use airbrush makeup but fell out of it quickly. Too much maintenance :( But this makes me want to look into it again. Still have my machine!ReplyDelete
Been seeing them at Sephora forever, always have wondered how they would look on and if it's easy to apply, didn't know they would blend so well! ;) xoReplyDelete

Hi, you look fantastic with Temptu on, it absolutely reinvents the way your skin looks, but I personally would probably get fed up with applying it even every second or third day, it is just too much for me. www.stylehenge.comReplyDelete
Love it! You are really good at applying makeup. Great post<3ReplyDelete
Wow! Really nice idea :)ReplyDelete
I am very surprised how you look without any make-up. I bet I even wouldn't recognize you (so used to see your pictures with the amazing eye make-up)! I am very happy you showed a bare-faced picture. Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
Looks amazing!ReplyDelete
By the way, I have vote for all your looks/pictures you have on there :)
I love the finish of airbrushed makeup...and the staying power is superior to anything else, I think!! I can't imagine using it as "everyday" makeup, but for special occasions like weddings, it's absolutely perfect!!ReplyDelete
Got the air brush tutorial up, when's the makeup one coming?! :(ReplyDelete

wow i love how you look without makeup! total stunner!!!ReplyDelete
Just voted for you and placed my order on the starter kit. Hope you'll win! =DReplyDelete
This is really an amazing review of Temptu airbrush makeup tool review. I like this makeup tool and already purchase similar one from Temptu. It's indeed makes easier makeup effort. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Hi Jessica,ReplyDelete
I'm interested in getting one but not sure which shade will match. Just for comparison, which MAC shade should match you if you were to wear their face products?

text: Well, maybe not new, but new to me. Apparently some cities here in Texas have fall USTA leagues. These leagues count as far as your USTA rating goes, but for most of these leagues there is no "reward" for winning the league, although in some of the leagues the fall winner gets to play the spring league winner to decided which team goes to sectionals. Most of the time everyone is focused on the springs leagues and the fall leagues are more casual. Now apparently more and more people are tanking the fall matches, particularly those players who were mid season bump ups based on the spring results. Does this happen in other states ?

PAUL Wesley and Torrey DeVitto are set to divorce.
The Vampire Diaries star and the Pretty Little Liars actress have decided to call it quits after just over two years of marriage.
A representative for the 31-year-old hunk confirmed that the couple has split "amicably" and are intent on remaining friends.
"Paul and Torrey have decided to amicably split. They will continue to remain good friends", the rep told People.com.
The pair met on the set of Killer Movie back in 2007 and dated for four years.
They married in a private ceremony in New York City in April 2011 and Torrey, 29, joined the Vampire Diaries cast that same year.
Wesley and DeVitto's split comes after their Vampire Diaries co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev ended their three-year romance earlier this year.

Costco is scheduled to open its new, larger San Marcos warehouse July 8, almost exactly six months after the old store closed for demolition in January.
Mario Omoss, Costco vice president for San Diego, said construction has gone smoothly. Crews did, however, encounter a large amount of blue granite on the construction site, which had to be broken up to get sewer lines in, Omoss said.
The 148,000-square-foot warehouse replaces a 134,000-square-foot store that opened as Price Club in 1984. The new Costco also will have a gas station and an indoor food court.
The food court is going indoors "so it's out of the elements and … more comfortable for members," Omoss said.
Costco remains on Center Drive near Nordahl Road, but the new store is perched just above the north side of state Route 78. Omoss said that additional parking spaces in a newly configured lot will help customers. The lot for the old store could be cramped and difficult to move in and out of because of the volume of traffic.
Other Costco stores, particularly those in Vista and Carmel Mountain Ranch, saw an increase in customers after the San Marcos store closed Jan. 9, he said.
"We didn't really lose a lot of business," he said. "People decided to drive a bit further. Their frequency dropped a little bit, but they were just buying more when they were shopping."
No Costco employees were laid off during the construction. About 300 workers were reassigned to other stores, and they will return to San Marcos unless they request a transfer to stay at their temporary assignment, Omoss said. The new store will require an additional 25 to 30 employees, "just based on more bells and whistles and increased business," he said.
"We except business to be better just based on a nicer, brighter facility," Omoss said. "The new layouts are just better. You can have a lot more people in there, and it's not as crowded."
The new San Marcos store is a prototypical Costco building, similar to ones that opened in Poway and Lake Elsinore in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
"It's been five years since one was built in this region so we're excited about it," Omoss said.
Costco will open at 8 a.m. July 8 — two hours earlier than the regular opening time.

The National Black Graduate Student Conference rolled on Friday as many of the 300 attendees from across the country attended a graduate fair, workshops and student presentations.
Papers and posters of the students' topics of study will be up for awards today, said Tech graduate school assistant dean Ralph Ferguson, who is helping host the event.
''We had professors from Texas Tech review the scientific data and award winning papers,'' Ferguson said.
Friday's workshops included a panel discussion with law students and advice for graduate students.
Lou Matthews, a doctoral candidate in mathematics at Illinois State University, gave this advice to fellow students infuse your culture into your studies.
''You are asked to create knowledge. Not just knowledge, but new knowledge,'' Matthews said.
Matthews said many studies, borne from academic research, ignore blacks. Many academic programs are tailored toward the program and not the students, he said.
He said black scholars should seek professors or researchers with similar interests, seek network organizations and attend conferences or forums which offer diverse viewpoints.
''You have to touch base with your experience. Your background has shaped the purpose of your research, and that's what we need to know,'' Matthews said.

Automated Usability Testing : A Literature Review and an Evaluation
Usability can be considered as an important requirement to provide high quality products. However, the usability testing has not been taken as basic task in the development life cycle which increases the number of products that have poor usability. The deficiency of excellent automated tools contributes mainly to this situation. Although there are many available automated usability tools, there are still some limitations in these tools (Baker, Au, Dobbie, & Warren, 2008). Therefore, this research provides a literature review for the currents research in this field. Also, it makes an evaluation and comparison to some of the recent tools in order to realize to which extend the usability testing can be automated.

I am taking a break from sipping down to do what I did last Valentine's Day, which is to survey all of my rose-flavored teas. I have a lot!
I finally remembered to bring in my brita filter to the office for tea. And boy, what a difference it makes! This tea is almost sweet now! Lovely, strong, sweet rose flavor. This tea is roses in a cup, and a perfect valentines day treat.

Professional fishing is a sport undergoing evolution…again.
Call it ProBass 4.0. The fourth generation.
It brings about another comparison between NASCAR and the major professional fishing circuits that are today BASS, FLW and the Professional Anglers Association, all three of which provided fishermen for last weekend's Toyota Texas Bass Classic.
Professional bass fishing started with names like Dance, Martin, Houston and Murray. They were a bunch of guys who were just naturally good at bass fishing in the same way the bootleggers of the Southeast were good at racing cars.
When the money jumped up, about the time of Ray Scott's first Bassmaster Classic in 1971, in rushed a new group, Rick Clunn, Gary Klein, Paul Elias, Larry Nixon, Denny Brauer, and Guido Hibdon, and they transformed the sport. These were really the first generation of pros that could make enough money to fish for a living.
Eventually they were replaced by Kevin VanDam, Mike Iaconnelli, Peter Thliveros, Takahiro Omori, Larry Nixon, Kelly Jordon, Alton Jones, Terry Scroggins and Jay Yelas. They not only fished for a living, but they became millionaires doing it. They learned that courting sponsors was just as important as winning tournaments.
They were the big names just eight years ago when the TTBC first came to Lake Fork. Last week it was all about guys like Keith Combs, Stetson Blaylock, Justin Lucas, Russ Lane, Randy Haynes and Brandon Coulter.
This isn't to say VanDam and his contemporaries are ready for the retirement home. It is just that they are the cagey veterans on a pitching staff watching the young rookies coming on fast.
In pro fishing today it is the 20- and 30-somethings that are stirring up the water and winning tournaments.
As a friend of mine said, for these guys finding the fish and catching them isn't that hard. There is something else going on that makes this a younger man's game.
A glimpse as to what that might be could come from something Nolan Ryan said after his retirement and when he was on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. Still in excellent shape, Ryan had no doubt that he could go out and pitch a game and still get hitters out.
What he could not do is recover in time to come back and pitch on three or four day's rest.
Talking to Combs before the tournament, I asked the Texas native why he moved from Del Rio and Lake Amistad to Huntington and Lake Sam Rayburn. He said it was because living in East Texas saved him a month's time in travel over the course of a year's fishing season. That is the vagabond life these guys live.
Watching the TTBC was fascinating. These young guys feared nothing. Not rain. Not wind. Not even going up against VanDam who has earned almost $6 million in tournament winnings, more than double what Combs, Blaylock and Lane, Sunday's top three finishers, have won combined.
I mentioned to one of the fishermen Friday that the wind was supposed to be above 15 miles per hour on Saturday and Sunday. He smiled and said, "Bring it on."
The changing dynamics is what makes all sports good. No one wanted to see Roger Staubach retire, but if he hadn't there would have never been Troy Aikman.
If pro bass fishing wasn't evolving we may not have seen two guys catch over 100 pounds and five others with over 90 in a tournament. Actually the entire top eight at the TTBC beat what is considered the record for a three-day event. The old mark being 83-5.
Maybe the next thing to change will be tournaments themselves.
Professional tournament officials have always said they couldn't have a tournament at a lake with restrictions like Lake Fork because without fish at the weigh-in the crowds won't come. There were only eight fish brought on stage over three days at the TTBC, although Combs last-day 8-8 was the most important because it won the tournament for him.
The truth is even at the Bassmaster Classic the crowds come for the industry show and concerts, and stay for the weigh-in.
That is also what happened at the TTBC. Sitting at a computer watching the lead change constantly Sunday, the tournament was as exciting as any sporting event. Getting the results at the weigh-in, not so much.
Here is what was neat about this year's TTBC. Other organizations are starting to pay attention to it. BASS' website last week was covered with pictures and stories from the event.
Major League Fishing, a made-for-television circuit, also put out press releases on the tournament, trying to take credit for its format. However, the TTBC format is four years older than MLF.
Unfortunately, there is no official word that the TTBC will be back at Lake Fork next year. The fishermen want it, but it is hard to draw huge crowds in rural Wood County.
If they do or don't, 100-pound stringers may be hard for BASS and FLW to ignore, fans in the stands or not.

While ratification was expected, it is widely considered as necessary to renew confidence in WLAN security, particularly by enterprise IT managers.
"It will definitely result in faster adoption of wireless in the enterprise because more companies will feel safer," said Phil Solis, senior analyst for ABI Research. "It's part psychological."
Solis noted that much of the standard had already been built into WLAN equipment. "Almost all equipment since late 2002 has had it," he noted. "All it will take is a firmware upgrade to get to the official standard. And equipment will now ship with it built-in so enterprises won't even have to go through the bother of upgrading the firmware of older stuff."
Besides encouraging adoption in the enterprise, Solis said he also expected ratification to encourage delivery of content to home users, where wireless LANs have been widely adopted.

Undated. Aerial view of Leeds Bradford Airport, looking east, showing two runways at right angles to each other, so it must have been taken before the third runway was completed in 1964, probably during the 1950s. Yeadon Tarn is seen at the bottom left with Victoria Avenue above, running diagonally down from left to right. The view looks towards Cookridge at the top right.

Undated. Aerial view of Leeds Bradford Airport looking north, showing two runways at right angles to each other. Taken possibly in the 1950s, certainly before 1964 when a third runway was built. Hangars and other airport buildings are seen towards the top while the hugh AVRO factory, which built aircraft during the Second World War, dominates the top centre. Victoria Avenue cuts across the top left. Bayton Lane runs down from centre left to bottom right with Yeadon Moor Road leading off from it just to the left of centre.

CARLSBAD -- An older man using a walker inched his way up a ramp into the dining building at La Posada de Guadalupe homeless shelter earlier this week, as late-afternoon sunshine warmed the grounds.
Nearby, a window washer -- who said he had been struggling to run his business after becoming homeless -- collapsed into a patio chair after lugging his equipment from a distant bus stop.
Two farmworkers who appeared barely out of their teens chatted at a picnic table.
This little-known homeless shelter in Carlsbad's business park is practically heaven for homeless people because it gives them "breathing room to get back on their feet," one temporary resident said Thursday afternoon.
But the normally low-profile place and its publicity-shy residents have recently been seeing TV cameras and facing questions from reporters. The attention has come since Carlsbad's City Council agreed in February to give the group that runs the facility a $108,500 grant to draw up plans for a 72-bed farmworker housing program.
The city's decision has come under attack from activists who feel that the United States isn't doing enough to curb illegal immigration.
They argue that taxpayer money is being used to benefit homeless Mexican migrants who live in makeshift shelters in the region's canyons and have illegally gotten jobs on the area's farms.
Officials with the city and Catholic Charities, which runs the shelter, said that farmworkers who stay at the planned facility will need to prove that they have U.S. work permits.
City officials also stress that the grant money comes from a fund that developers pay into when they turn farmland into houses and shops. It isn't tax money that can be used for schools, roads or police needs.
Finding funding and food
At La Posada, staff members said Thursday that their regular day-to-day worries keep them much too busy to worry about the controversy over the project, which doesn't yet have the millions of dollars it will need for construction.
"I'm more concerned about feeding the men than what other people are saying," director Eddie Preciado said, adding that he thinks the nation's economic woes will bring more homeless people to his doors and decrease state funding prospects.
The shelter has six employees and operates on a budget of about $200,000 a year, he said. Most of its financing comes from the nonprofit Catholic Charities, but the shelter also receives state and federal grants.
The facility also accepts any food donations it can get from the community -- rice, beans, sugar and milk, in particular, Preciado said.
La Posada now serves homeless men of all ages, ethnicity and employment backgrounds, everyone from young Latino farmworkers to retired white men with serious medical problems, Preciado said.
Typically, 55 to 65 homeless residents stay each night. The shelter's license allows it to have up to 50 permanent beds for homeless people and 25 short-term emergency shelter beds, Preciado said. The time limit on the permanent beds is three months, while the short-term, emergency stays last a couple of days.
Proper paperwork
Short-term beds at the shelter go to people who need immediate housing in times of inclement weather. Shelter employees say that sometimes they give those beds to people who don't have identification and may be in the country illegally.
"I'm a Christian person, I'm not going to discriminate," Preciado said, adding that he thinks God would bless his decision. "I think we're going to answer to someone one of these years (for how we treat others)."
Meanwhile, the three-month beds go to people who are U.S. citizens or immigrants who have paperwork that entitles them to legally work in this country, Preciado said. Critics have said such documents can be easily faked.
At a City Council meeting earlier this week, members of the San Diego Minutemen, a group that has launched a crusade against illegal immigration, said it's easy to get false paperwork and predicted that staffers at the farmworker shelter would probably be duped by such documents.
"If we are providing housing for illegal aliens, we are aiding and abetting illegal aliens," Jeff Schwilk, the group's leader, told the council as he urged it to rethink the funding decision.
Several employees at La Posada conceded Thursday that they may have already had people stay who had fake work papers.
"Maybe these people have, that we don't know," caseworker Juan Lopez said.
Looking for housing
It was apparent Thursday that some shelter occupants weren't in the country legally -- they said so.
The two young Mexican farmworkers who chatted at a shelter picnic table Thursday afternoon told a North County Times translator that they had sneaked across the border a month ago.
They declined to give their names or the names of the places that had recently hired them, saying that might get them in trouble.
Shelter caseworker Juan Lopez said the two had work papers to show center employees. However, he said, he had more pressing concerns than their immigration status.
Lopez was worrying about finding permanent housing for the elderly man who needed the walker to get from the bunkhouse building to the dining room. The man had come to them directly from a local hospital. Even if the man stays three months at La Posada's free shelter, he won't have enough Social Security money set aside to cover the first and last month's rent for an apartment in the area, Lopez said.
He added that he's trying to transfer the man to a shelter in San Diego after he's been at La Posada for three months. That would give the man six months to save his money, but the San Diego shelter has a waiting list and may not be able to take him, Lopez said.
Meanwhile, the homeless man who runs the window-washing business said he expects to spend a few more weeks at La Posada -- he'll leave when the rainy season ends and business picks up, he said.
The man, who declined to give his name because he didn't want his clients to know he was at the shelter, said that he heard about the place years ago when he hired someone who lived there temporarily.
"Never thought I'd be here, but here I am," he said.

Treasury Wants to Fast-track Tax Cuts for Food
Finance Ministry wants to abolish customs on imported food products that aren't also produced in Israel.
The Finance Ministry wants to lower import taxes on food as early as this month and is therefore trying to wrest the issue away from the government-appointed food committee. The committee, charged with finding ways to lower food costs, is scheduled to deliver its recommendations only in three months.
Sources near the Finance Ministry say the Tax Authority has all but finished drafting a list of items on which customs can be abolished or reduced. The Finance Ministry wants to abolish customs on imported food products that aren't also produced in Israel. However, some items with Israeli competitors will also be on the list.
Currently, import taxes are charged on the following products that are not produced in Israel, among others: fresh baby corn, ginger, certain types of mushrooms, desiccated coconut, Brazil nuts, chestnuts, pine nuts, raisins, black and white peppercorns, crushed and ground pepper, oatmeal, corn starch, cassava starch, poppy seeds, pumpkin seed oil and dried papaya.
For some other items with Israeli competitors, the import tax is so high several times their base price that nobody bothers to import them at all. In these cases the Finance Ministry wants to lower the tax so that importers can create competition in the local market.
Don't expect a steep drop tomorrow, though: The plan is to make the changes over three years.
The Food Committee is headed by Sharon Kedmi, director general of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. He supports the Finance Ministry's positions on abolishing import tax on foods that local competitors, and reducing import tax on food in general over the next few years.
Food companies are not pleased, however, and have been pressing the Industry and Trade Ministry to block any changes at least until the global economic crisis is over, so they can prepare and avoid layoffs.
The Finance Ministry, unmoved, rebuts that import tax has to drop to introduce competition so that the companies lower prices to consumers. Potential layoffs should be addressed on a case by case basis, the ministry says.

Kolkata, July 8 (IANS) The Indian division of Japanese carmaker Nissan on Wednesday said it aims at increasing its overall market share in India to nearly five percent over a period of three-four years.
The company mainly focuses on exports out of its plant in Chennai.
"Our plan is to equally focus on the Indian market as well as boost our exports. In the coming three-four years, we hope to increase our market share in India from less than two percent to nearly five percent," Arun Malhotra, managing director of Nissan Motor India Pvt told media persons here.
During the previous fiscal year, the company had exported over a lakh cars primarily to the Gulf region, West Europe and Latin America while domestic unit sales stood at 49,000 units.
"One of our global three research and development centres is located in India," he said.
The other two centres are in Japan and USA. Its plant in Chennai has a capacity to produce four lakh units a year which can be expanded to 4.8 lakh units.
"We are utilising 70 percent of it presently," he said.
It is also rolling out a spare-parts distribution centre at Manesar in Haryana and plans to do the same in east and west India.
The company is considering introducing a Compact Modular Architecture-based vehicle in March next year.

Researchers: Carbon better than copper for TSVs
6 comments
PORTLAND, Ore.Three-dimensional chip stacks are better connected with through-silicon-vias (TSVs) filled with carbon nanotubes instead of copper, according to researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.
TSVs promise to speed up the communications among all the chips that make up an electronic system by stacking them in 3-D instead of laying them out flat on circuit boards. Unfortunately, filling the vias with copper causes problems with thermal expansion, since copper expands more than the surrounding silicon. Carbon nanotubes could solve this problem.
"Carbon nanotubes have much better properties than copper, both in terms of thermal and electrical conductivity, said Kjell Jeppsson, a member of the Chalmers research team. "They expand about the same amount as the surrounding silicon while copper expands more, which results in mechanical tension that can cause the components to break." Other team members included Teng Wang and Johan Liu.
Nanotubes are also highly conductive and lighter weight that copper, and unlike carbon films (graphene) are easy to fabricate. To prove their point, the researcher recently demonstrated a method of filling vias with nanotubes and bonding the two chips with adhesives, resulting in both a good electrical and thermal connection betweent the stacked chips.
The remaining hurdle to mass producing 3-D chips interconnected with nanotube filled TSVs is the temperature of processing. Carbon nanotubes are usually fabricated at 700 degrees Celsius (C), whereas CMOS chips are damaged by heat much higher than 450 degrees C. However, if the last hrdle can be surmountedsuch as by manufacturing the nanotubes separately and mechanically inserting themthen the researchers predict that their technique could be commercialized within five years.
Two chips have through-silicon-vias (TSVs) that are filled with thousands of carbon nanotubes. The chips are then bonded with adhesive so that the carbon nanotubes are directly contacted. A connection using two such interconnects is pictured to the right.

Developed in Toronto by Metanet Software (N, N+) and RSBLSB (Dyad), N++ ("N PLUS PLUS") is the final and definitive iteration of the series which helped to usher in the modern era of hardcore running and jumping.
Around 10 years ago, back when Flash games were the bees knees and high schoolers with PCs in their classrooms dedicated more time to Icy Tower than listening to their American History lecture, a skill based game with a small and agile ninja took the internet by storm. The flash game N was so immensely popular, it even spawned a console port with additional features but retaining its devilish difficulty called N+. Fast forward to today, and PlayStation 4 owners have the pleasure of taking on yet another set of challenges in N++. It's easy to reference games like Super Meat Boy when it comes to difficult downloadable platformers, but the N games are rarely mentioned. Whereas Super Meat Boy was a challenge in precise platforming through speed, N and its respective sequels... Read Review

That year he finished second in the championship but returned with the team in 2012 and scored the title. The Repsol Honda MotoGP squad pushed the rules and ruffled some feathers when it signed Marquez for the 2013 season, as it was not standard practice to sign a rookie rider to a factory team. The decision paid off as Marquez went on to stage the best rookie season performance in GP history. He's currently in the midst of a perfect 2014 season through the four opening rounds. A number of top riders' contracts are set to expire at the end of the current season, such as Marquez's teammate Dani Pedrosa and Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo, so this only marks the beginning of silly season announcements. Repsol Honda's full press release announcing Marquez's decision is included below. – MotoUSA
Honda Racing Corporation is pleased to announce the renewal of the contract with 2013 World Champion, Marc Marquez, for a further two years.
The young Spaniard took the MotoGP World by storm winning the Championship in his rookie season last year. It was a priority for HRC to re-sign the young sensation who has won every race so far this season – all from pole position. Since joining the Factory outfit ?the Repsol Honda Team? Marc has finished on the podium in all but two of his twenty-two MotoGP races. He's taken ten victories, six second's and four third's. He's also accumulated thirteen pole positions in the premier class.
He arrives at this weekend's French GP leading the Rider's Championship by 28 points after just four rounds.
Marc Marquez: "I am very happy to announce my renewal with HRC. I had always dreamt about being part of the Repsol Honda Team, and thanks to Honda, the dream came true a year and a half ago. Everything happened very quickly last season, and I would have never imagined that I could achieve what we did. Becoming World Champion during my first season was another dream turned into reality. It is a great honor to be a part of the Honda family and I'm glad to remain with this special group of people for another two seasons."
Shuhei Nakamoto HRC Executive Vice President: "We are very satisfied to have reached an agreement to keep Marc [Marquez] in the team for a further two seasons. Of course as Honda we wanted to keep Marc in our family and he also wanted to stay with us so… it was natural to renew the contract even if it is very early in the season! He is enjoying a fantastic start to 2014 and even though he is still learning, his ability to absorb information and adapt to the machine is remarkable."

During combustion, the mercury (Hg) in coal is volatilized and converted to elemental mercury (Hg0) vapor in the high temperature regions of coal-fired boilers. As the flue gas is cooled, a series of complex reactions begin to convert Hg0 to ionic mercury (Hg2+) compounds and/or Hg compounds (Hgp) that are in a solid-phase at flue gas cleaning temperatures or Hg that is adsorbed onto the surface of other particles. The presence of chlorine gas-phase equilibrium favors the formation of mercuric chloride (HgCl2) at flue gas cleaning temperatures. However, Hg0 oxidation reactions are kinetically limited and, as a result, Hg enters the flue gas cleaning device(s) as a mixture of Hg0, Hg 2+, and Hgp. This partitioning of Hg into Hg0, Hg 2+, and Hgp is known as mercury speciation, which can have considerable influence on selection of mercury control approaches. In general, the majority of gaseous mercury in bituminous coal-fired boilers is Hg2+. On the other hand, the majority of gaseous mercury in subbituminous- and lignite-fired boilers is Hg0
Control of mercury emissions from coal-fired boilers is currently achieved via existing controls used to remove particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This includes capture of Hgp in PM control equipment and soluble Hg 2+ compounds in wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. Available data also reflect that use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) NOx control enhances oxidation of Hg0 in flue gas and results in increased mercury removal in wet FGD.

Rider wrestling match versus Penn State to be televised on Comcast
Rider's wrestling team debuted at number 25 in the first USA Today/NWCA/AWN Division I Coaches Poll of the regular season.
On Saturday, Nov. 16, The Comcast Network will televise the Rider Universtiy-Penn State wrestling match live, beginning at 4 p.m. from Alumni Gymnasium. This is the first time in several years that a college wrestling match will be televised.
"We're very excited to have our match with Penn State televised," Rider's head wrestling coach Gary Taylor says. "This is a wonderful opportunity to give Rider University and our wrestling team very positive exposure from Northern Virginia up to New England."
On most cable networks, The Comcast Network can be found on channel 8 or channel 846 in high-definition (HD). On the Verizon System, it can be found on channel 99 in Philadelphia.
After a successful 3-0 weekend at the Hokie Duals in Blacksburg, Va., Rider's wrestling team debuted at number 25 in the first USA Today/NWCA/AWN Division I Coaches Poll of the regular season.
Last year Rider's wrestling team finished runner-up in its final season in the Colonial Athletic Association and sent four wrestlers to Nationals. This year, Rider is competing in the Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) and begins the season with four wrestlers ranked among the top 32 in the nation.
Currently the nation's top-ranked team, Penn State is the three-time defending NCAA Division I National Champion.
The Comcast Network will be back on campus on Dec. 29 to televise the Rider-University of Penn men's basketball game at noon. Ten additional men's basketball games will be televised throughout the season on the Big Ten Network, the Patriot League Network, Fox Sports 1, ESPNU and ESPN3.
"Comcast is well known for producing quality sporting events and we are pleased to once again partner with them to promote our wrestling and basketball programs within this region," says Rider's Director of Athletics Don Harnum.
If you aren't attending Saturday's wrestling match in person, make sure to tune in and support the Broncs!

FALSE have re-invented themselves once again, doing away with their seasonal releases and moving towards an organically growing (evergreen) catalogue of artworks on tees for what they call "walking canvases". Adding upon that and moving the brand into the higher echelon of exclusivity, FALSE have repositioned the new retail experience of the brand for the Japanese market with all their international sales to be controlled and sold exclusively through their E-Store.
FALSE aim to make the new brand experience an artistic expression rather more than a fashion statement. Their organic catalogue is entitled "Everything Is FALSE…" and begins with 7 mixed media designs. All designs shown here can now be purchased at the FALSE E-Store.
Check out all 7 new designs after the jump in detail.

You know, people with colds or the flu or something. The startup is called Sickweather and it will mine data from Twitter, Facebook and people who sign up for the service as users.
"Sickweather's founders hope the data they collect can help users avoid catching their friends' bugs. Users would be able to log in to the site and view a map showing illnesses in their area. They would also see updates from friend connections mentioning current illnesses. The company plans to release mobile apps for the site as well, so that users can view this information while on the go."
How would it work? Just look for words that have to do with being sick. Again, from MIT's Technology Review: Michael Belt, Sickweather's chief technology officer, says the company searches for keywords related to sickness. To tune the algorithm, the system uses a database of words that exclude certain posts. For example, the system would want to record a post that says, "I'm feeling so sick--my nose is running." But it would exclude a post that says, "There were some sick beats last night at the club."

Welcome to the first installation of 10 DeviantArt Delights! Every Thursday of every week, from here on out, we will feature this post of 10 awesome creations that were posted on DeviantArt within the last week. I'm sure we'll find some cool things together, and if you ever want to submit your piece for an upcoming article, don't hesitate to contact me!
1. Dark Pokeball With Wings
Title: The Pokeball of Fang (Maximum Ride)
DeviantArtist: wazzy88
This is an awesome piece of artwork created by wazzy88, and it's based off of the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. (I've read all of the books and it's a personal favorite of mine. Plus, I didn't realize Maximum Ride was female until the second book.)
If you look closely, notice that there is a hooded figure visible in the Pokeball. Awesome work!
2. Freaky Cat With No Teeth
Title: Toothy
DeviantArtist: Xamag
What an adorable little kitty SOMEBODY MAKE IT CLOSE ITS MOUTH MY SOUL IS BEING EATEN.
This is a cute and disturbing gif of a cat with some kind of genetic disorder related to eye color. (I know a few people who actually look like this in real life. By "this" I mean the eyes, not the flaming lava mouth.)
3. Adorable Blob Wearing a Scarf
Title: Pun the Scarfblob
DeviantArtist: griffsnuff
What's more adorable than something covered in fur and devoid of any limbs? Very little, actually. Put a scarf on the thing, add some huge eyes, and you have a winning creation! I agreed with one of the commenters on DeviantArt in that I would love to see hundreds of these tumbling out of my closet.
4. Mew With Swirling Candy
Title: I love Mew
DeviantArtist: Crizthal
This may not look super awesome at first, but that's because you haven't clicked on the link next to the Title heading! This is actually some sort of flash-based animation that is quite mesmerizing – Mew bobs around while all of the candies swirl and give you an extreme sensory overload.
5. Cute Little Stegosaurus Wallpaper
Title: Stego dino paper
DeviantArtist: Apofiss
This adorable little stegosaurus next to an orange peel is actually a downloadable wallpaper for your computer! If you visit the page by clicking the link next to the Title heading, you'll be able to get the cuteness injected into your computer! No clean needles needed, since it's all digital!
6. Awesome Adventure Time Jake Plush
Title: Fat Jake Plush
DeviantArtist: AzureStarr
If I saw this at the most important, professional business meeting of my life, I would hug it. I would throw away my suit coat, dive onto its pudgy body, and hug it until it asphyxiates. (It takes a very long time for inanimate objects to need to breathe, but it has been known to never happen.)
7. I'm Sexy And I Know It… I Work Out!
Title: Flat Screen
DeviantArtist: NaBHaN
You didn't think that technology gave us thinner TV's, right? I'll tell you how we got flatscreens: a bunch of drill sergeants, some police batons, and hundreds of treadmills. The world doesn't want to face the truth, but I will boldly look where no man has looked before, plus at my back, which needs to be shaved.
8. Ghost Pokeball Gives Me Nightmares
Title: The Pokeball of Ghost Vulpix
DeviantArtist: Wazzy88
I did not realize until a couple seconds ago that two of the DeviantArt Delights were created by the same person! Wazzy88 – the fact that I picked two of your prints is a testament to your work. Yes, I picked them unconsciously:
my friend a stranger who broke into my apartment knocked me out with the black liquid and then hit my face on the keyboard until I clicked on one.
9. Scary Dragon With a Semi-Rainbow Tail
Title: Teryx v2
DeviantArtist: Sunimo
Sunimo is known for drawing some awesome dragons, and I think that this is one of his best! The flame-like hair and the spikes on the bottom of the tail, paired with the unique color scheme of the beast, make this one of the most awesome drawings ever!
10. Awesome Rendition of Mario Kart
Title: Karting with Spirit
DeviantArtists: Ry-Spirit and theCHAMBA
This is a more realistic take on Mario Kart, and it borders on disturbing. Wario's face needs to go away before I see it in my nightmares.

Yesterday I was talking with my Dad on his way out to a dinner party; he was going to visit the new home of some family friends. My Dad's friends recently relocated to be closer to the husband's place of employment so he wouldn't have such a long commute into work every day. This move advanced the career of the husband, but in the process the wife had to sell her self-owned business. Would you give up your career to follow your spouse?
I asked my Dad what the wife is doing for work in their new town, and he said that the husband makes well over $100,000 per year and "they aren't too worried about the wife working". I thought that the wife would just relocate her business, but instead she shut it down. It may be nice to be retired, but what is the point of having spare time if you don't have anyone to share it with.
People say that they would love to not have to go to work every day, but I wonder if that is really true. We probably say that we would love not to work because we are only thinking about the spare time it would create, we aren't thinking about the loss of income at it would also create.
When is enough money really enough money? Maybe my Dad's friends are happy with enough money to pay their mortgage and their bills and have a little bit in savings. It is nice to have a household income of $125,000 but if your wife can bring in an additional $65,000, it would be nicer to have a household income of $190,000.
My sister is going through a similar situation. She recently moved for the second time to follow her boyfriend towards another promotion. My sister has been with her boyfriend for over 5 years, but she has only recently become a DINK for this past year. Last February my sister's boyfriend was transferred to another city and my sister chose to quit her job and relocate with him, so she became a DINK. Last year she found a job in her new city, and now just over a year later she is relocating again, this time they are moving to a new state.
She has put her career on hold to advance her boyfriends career…twice. When we are in a couple we can lose our personal financial priorities. We have to remember that when we come into a couple, we are still an individual person. This is why I have a problem with merging finances and joint bank accounts. Not to mention the messiness of dividing assets in a divorce.

"Say No To Fat Talk": a worthy message or a double standard?
"I shouldn't have eaten that burger. I can feel it already on my stomach."
"She looks great in those jeans. Why can't I be as thin as her?"
"I'd be happier if I could only be skinnier."
Sound familiar?
Last week, Australia's Cosmopolitan Magazine joined forces with the Butterfly Foundation (a charity dedicated to issues surrounding eating disorders and body image) to launch a month-long "Fat Talk Free" campaign.
The campaign is meant to encourage readers to "denounce Fat Talk as destructive, unhealthy and a complete waste of energy."
The "Fat Talk Free" campaign was inspired by Tri Delta's "Fat Talk Free Week" and the body image program Reflections.
According to them, "Fat Talk describes all of the statements made in everyday conversation that reinforce the thin ideal and contribute to women's dissatisfaction with their bodies."
I think this is a great idea, and a very worthy campaign. I have long been frustrated by my friends or family members engaging in Fat Talk almost as a natural reflex, a destructive defense against the feelings of low self-worth they feel from society's portrayal of the ideal body.
However, I'm unable to reconcile this worthy cause with Cosmo's own perpetration of Fat Talk-inducing images and ideas.
Through airbrushing photos of thin women in skimpy clothing, and featuring vacuous articles about beauty products and clothes, Cosmo contributes to Fat Talk at the same time it speaks out against it.
Cosmo says that Fat Talk "reinforces the false idea that our value as a human being is based on how we look."
But Cosmo, doesn't your magazine reinforce this false idea?
I want to believe that Cosmo will take this issue to heart, and really think about their role in the instigation of Fat Talk. But will they?
What do you think? Will Cosmo change their portrayal of women's bodies to make saying no to Fat Talk easier?

caitlin on 03-26-2011I think this is a great message and I would love to see women's magazines embrace these ideas- but sadly, I think most of the time it is completely undermined by the rest of the content in the magazine. Magazine like Cosmo just reinforce the notion that women's roles are to be sexy and please men, under the guise of promoting being a happy, confident woman. I don't expect this will ever change- each page is a reminder of how we don't "measure up" as women.
Lola on 03-26-2011I've heard similar stories before about different women's magazines. Cosmo is at least taking it a step further than just including a single "accept yourself for who you really are!" article in one issue, but the level of hypocrisy is still ridiculous. It makes me like these magazines even less.
On a side note, how can Cosmo keep generating thousands of sex tips a year? There has to be some recycling of material.
Chani on 03-28-2011Cosmo will do whatever it can to sell magazines. This includes throwing in the occasional article or headline that denounces the thin ideal, to trick readers into thinking they care, and ultimately buy the magazine. If Cosmo was really concerned about fat talk and the harm it does to women (and men) everywhere, they would totally rework their magazine.
Hannah on 03-28-2011Perhaps someone at Cosmo took advantage of the opportunity to use such a wide-reaching magazine to spread a positive message. Do magazines like Cosmo continue to perpetuate the thin ideal through articles, images, and advertising? Sure. But so do magazines like Glamor, and you placed that magazine in your gallery of winners. I think we need to see this as a positive step. It takes time to see serious change when it comes to social justice issues, but I see this as forward movement. Perhaps by encouraging this instead of having such an attidute of scrutiny and skepticism, we can positively reinforce magazines when they do make small steps.
Corie on 03-31-2011Reminds me of when Hapers Bazaar put "plus size model" Kate Dillon in their pages about 10 years ago to promote healthy body image. Good on them, but I find it interesting that it was the only time they did it (as I can recall), and that she had a prior career gracing the pages of HB as a size 6! Hmmmm...
Ashley on 04-01-2011I think we could all realize that it is at least a step in the right direction. I don't know why it is expected that a magazine can't have ANY contradictory ideas. It has to be on a side. But you know what also has tons and tons of mixed messages within their text? This site called About Face. Did you ever think about that one?

Yes, it can be because of stress (stress can do many things!) and it can be because of the drug too. So the best thing you can do is to talk about it with your doctor.Take Care!
