Selected Works
The exchange between terrain, climate, temperature and the elements is constant: sometimes consistent and often times transforming by the moment. My work is an exploration of the fleeting effects of the atmospheric conditions on the land and on water. Imagery is developed with the application of an initial layer of opaque ink/paint followed by numerous layers of transparent pigment. Subject matter is not predetermined, it is intuitive and emerges as the work develops. Multiple layers evoke the reflection and haze, while the white of the paper/panel offer glimpses of light. Inclusion of grain pattern from salvaged wood boards reference both the static and fluid.

Microsoft's music subscription service the "Zune Pass" is truely an incredible music subscription service. Unfortunately only officially supported in a few countries so far. If you're really keen to try it out, you can follow the steps below that will help you resolve this until the Zune Pass is opened up to more countries around the world.
There's lots to know about the Zune functionality within Windows Phone 7 (and on your PC and Xbox 360). Here's the official information from Microsoft's US Zune website.
The key things you need to get full content access is as follows:
- Windows Live ID - with location set to U.S.
- A Zune Pass
- A Windows PC that thinks it's in the U.S.
Because of the complexities of this process - most want bother and won't realise how great the 'Zune Phone' (oh, I mean Windows Phone 7) is when it's working at it's best. However, if you're dead to 'test' out the functionality then I can run you through the 'workarounds'.
Step 1: Setting up a U.S. Windows Live ID
The easiest way to do this is when you're setting up your new Windows Phone 7 handset. When you first power it on you'll be asked whether you wish to use a new or existing Windows Live ID. At this point you can step through the process of setting up a new Windows Live ID. Once you've done that if you visit the 'Marketplace' on your phone you will be asked for your region (and birthdate) - at this point set the region to United States.
Step 2: A Zune Pass
There are two methods that I am aware of:
a) Buy a Zune Pass from an online source - such as Ebay. You will either be sent a code electronically - or physical Zune Pass card via post/courier. Obviously there is usually a cost difference if not shipped electronically.
b) Buy the Zune Pass yourself via Credit Card with to a U.S. address. This sounds a lot harder but it's not in my experience (and it's cheaper). There are a few ways of doing this such as using 'Prepaid' Debit Cards. On one trip to the U.S. I was tempted to buy one for this purpose - however there is an alternative. The method I believe works best is to use a 'Mastercard' (difficult if you don't have one or only have Visa) and enter your billing address as a legitimate physical address in the US. This works quite well however I understand you can't use Microsoft's address. Best if you have a friend in the U.S. - ask permission to use theirs. It seems if you enter a local (non-US) address the Microsoft billing system picks up that you are outside the US and blocks you from registering for a US Zune account.
Step 3: A Windows PC that thinks it's in the U.S.
This is very easy on any Windows PC - just go into regional settings and set your location to "United States"
Next Step - Zune Video and TV outside the US
This's very heavily locked down. In order to access video content you will need a U.S. IP Address to download or stream TV and Movies from the Zune store (on your Windows Phone 7, Zune, Zune client software or Xbox 360).

text: Video News: United Kingdom Supporters welcome Chinese activists (ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) Japan on Friday (August 17) sent home the first group of Chinese activists detained after landing on an island claimed by both Tokyo and Beijing. Japan and China, Asia's two largest economies, have been at odds since the activists were detained on Wednesday (August 15) after using a boat to land on the rocky, uninhabited isles known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China. Five activists and two Chinese television journalists who flew to Hong Kong from Okinawa arrived to a hero's welcome, while the rest of the 14-strong group were expected to head home by boat in a voyage that could take up to four days. At Hong Kong's international airport, crowds of Chinese passengers clapped their arrival, as the men carried red China flags and a banner carrying the words: "Successful landing on Diaoyu islands. Activists show their ambition." Japan occupied much of China during the war and colonised the Korean peninsula, the source of several feuds dogging relations with its neighbours nearly seven decades after the end of World War Two. © DailyMotion - Saturday, August 18, 2012

9:13am 3rd March 2012
Just to update you that Mr Moffatt was found safe and well in York on Friday (2 March) evening.
Statement from North Yorkshire Police yesterday:
Police are urgently appealing to the public to help locate a missing man.
Stephen Moffatt, 43, from York was last seen at around 6pm on Thursday 1st March 2012, at Scarborough District Hospital where he was awaiting treatment for a head injury after falling off his bike.
Police are concerned for Stephen's welfare as he was awaiting treatment in Accident and Emergency Unit at the hospital and the extent of his injuries are unknown.
Stephen is white, 5ft 8in tall with a slim build and shoulder-length dark curly hair. Two of his front teeth are missing. When he was last seen Stephen was wearing a cream sweatshirt with 'Lee Cooper' written on the front, blue jeans, a navy blue three quarter length coat, a grey felt hat with a black band and white Adidas trainers.
Police officers have carried out a search of the local area in Scarborough. However, Mr Moffatt is still missing.
PC Adam Fenwick, of York Safer Neighbourhood Team, said:
"Although Stephen was last seen in Scarborough, we do not know if he has made his way back to his home in York or has travelled elsewhere.
"I am appealing to anyone who may have seen Stephen since he went missing to get in touch with North Yorkshire Police as a matter of urgency.
"Stephen, if you see or hear this appeal, I am asking you to make contact with your family and friends or the police straight away. We simply want to make sure that you are safe."
Anyone who can help to locate Stephen Moffatt is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, press option 1 and pass the information to a control room operator.

"From Herbivoracious, one of my favorite vegetarian cookbooks, a great one for carnivores like me. I love the sweetness of the apple in this, I think kids would eat these sprouts. Quartered sprouts work as well as sliced ones. White wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, and rice wine vinegar all work well, too."
Brussels Sprout and Apple Hash
0 recipe photos
READY IN:30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- half a medium white onion, finely diced
- kosher salt
- 1 crisp apple, such as a Pink Lady, peeled, cored, and finely diced

- 2 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaf
- 2 teaspoons champagne vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.

Animation Art – Collectible Cels and Drawings
It was a Saturday afternoon, back in the days of my youth, and I can still remember handing over my ten cents to the man behind the glass window, then getting a ticket to the greatest afternoon ever. I waltzed right through the theater doors and up to the refreshment stand and handed over my nickel for a Coke. If I was plush with money, I splurged on a five cent bag of popcorn.
Movie and Television Merchandise as Collectibles
The box office tally isn't the whole story of a film's profit margin – "It's the merchandise, silly." So says Mel Brooks in his 1987 science fiction parody Spaceballs, as his character displays merchandise from the film – within the film – including bed sheets and a cereal box.

text: So it always makes sense to prepare yourself with a great base by sticking to a neutral palette so you can add or remove pieces. And as fads fade you wont find yourself stuck with ghastly pieces for an eternity (or until your next major spring clean). Personally I'm not fond of too much change, especially when it comes to homewares. I'd rather invest in transcendent pieces as the idea of wasting resources and materials doesn't bode well with me. Soft shades of blush mingling with metallic accents like copper are very much du jour right now and unlike previous trends like chevron or fluro this is something you won't be reaching to replace next season.

This week Series W spoke to the founders of BeachSpoke, a company started in FIELD 3 that sells fun, oversized blankets perfect for the beach, picnics, or the mountains.
Tell us about BeachSpoke.
BeachSpoke sells fun, oversized beach (or picnic) blankets. They include four spokes (with cute tassels!) in each corner that keep the blanket from blowing away and getting sandy. We've seen our customers use them everywhere, from the beach to the park to the mountains. We sell at www.getbeachspoke.com, and they make an awesome gift for friends and family this holiday season!
How did you come up with the idea?
We were looking for a physical product that we could make with little manufacturing prowess and sell online. We considered reselling products but actually making something new was very appealing.
The idea for BeachSpoke was actually inspired by my mom. Fifteen years ago, mom was given a beach blanket as a gift that had similar features to our BeachSpoke. She still uses it today, and strangers on the beach continue to stop her all the time to ask where she bought it. Unfortunately for them, the beach shack in the caribbean where it was purchased had stopped selling them. Fortunately for us, they fit our criteria of simple to manufacture.
BeachSpoke was started in FIELD 3 – how did you form your team? What advice would you give to RCs on forming teams?
We actually didn't even have an idea at the start of FIELD 3, and instead optimized for team fit. Our three criteria were:
- A similar perspective on FIELD 3 (Priority 1: launching something cool and learning a lot, Priority 100: getting a 1 in FIELD 3)
- A general agreement on the type of business (for us, a consumer product that we could sell online and stress test our marketing muscles)
- A strong team (We all had a history and interest in startups and also complementary skills. Two of my teammates were section mates that I didn't know well, but had long admired for their startup experience and wanted to get to know more. Interestingly, two of my teammates were (and still are!) good friends. We'd talked a lot about startups in the past, and I wanted to test working with them. Although this was highly discouraged by our professor, if you're serious about startups and you're considering working with friends, this is a good time to test that out.
Tell us about the process of using FIELD 3 to prove your idea. How did the idea evolve over time?
Although as a team we agreed early on that launching and learning was our priority over producing the best FIELD deliverables, we saw the class as a great opportunity take advantage of the HBS resources (including free investment in our idea!). We spent a lot of time up-front brainstorming different consumer products, prioritizing, surveying friends and family, and we eventually landed on BeachSpoke.
Then we used spring break as our first major target for shipping BeachSpokes. We wanted to get our first run of blankets in the hands of HBS students going to far away places (not recommended by FIELD). This turned out to be crucial, not only for the product feedback (our blankets were too small and the spokes rusted), but because it created pressure early-on to ship something. We had friends in other groups still struggling to get a complicated product or service ready in time for IPO day, and we were selling out of our third run. After team, my biggest advice to future FIELD 3 subjects: keep your business very simple.
What was your WFIO (we're f***** it's over) moment?
Once we decided on our idea, we had a moment of panic when we thought we wouldn't be able to find fabric at a price that would let us make money. We visited a bunch of fabric stores and searched online, and everything was either way too expensive, had a 5-week delivery window, and required tax IDs to get wholesale pricing.
In the end, we bought discount fabric (meaning we could only make 5 or 6 blankets in each pattern). This worked well for our first two runs, and now we've switched to wholesale fabric at half the price.
What's been the most exciting moment so far?
Presenting in Burden Auditorium was pretty great. We definitely weren't expecting it (or I probably would've worn something different), but it's a great experience to have at least once while at HBS. Other than that,selling to customers who are really excited about their purchase is awesome. And when they come back 2 months later to buy 5 more, well that's the best.
Post FIELD 3, which HBS resources have been most helpful?
We're doing an IP with our TEM professor and we were also accepted in the Rock Accelerator, both have been really useful. The most important thing for us though was to keep the momentum over the summer. We all had internships, but worked in our free time on BeachSpoke, and that put us in a great position at the start of the semester.
What's your favorite BeachSpoke pattern?
That's a tough call because I choose the patterns, so I obviously love all of them. Right now, my favorite is the Cancun.

Derek Serpell-Morris was last seen leaving The Criterion pub in Ashley Road, Bristol, early on 11 July last year.
A nationwide search was launched after the 73-year-old was reported missing 12 days later.
A member of the public found remains near The Mall at Cribbs Causeway shopping centre in Patchway, Bristol, on Thursday afternoon.
Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Iddon, of Avon and Somerset Police, said officers had told Mr Serpell-Morris's family about the discovery.
He added: "While we're not yet in a position to confirm the remains are of Derek, we strongly believe this to be the case due to personal items found at the scene.
"This is a very distressing time for Derek's family who've been carrying out an exhaustive campaign to locate him and raise awareness of his disappearance and our thoughts are very much with them."
The matter is being treated as unexplained and a post-mortem examination is planned.
Mr Serpell-Morris started his working life as an accountant for Cadbury but he became a DJ in his 30s, playing at local bars, clubs and festivals such as Glastonbury.
He also worked with the likes of Massive Attack and appeared in Dizzee Rascal's music video Dirtee Disco in 2010.
Tributes included tweets from DJ Rob da Bank, co-founder of Camp Bestival, who wrote that the news was "maybe inevitable but truly sad", adding: "He was a DJ legend, incredible music buff and will be very missed at Bestival".
Geoff Barrow, of the band Portishead, tweeted: "Ah man RIP DJ Derek" with a link to Barbara Jones's hit single Just When I Needed You Most.

Two Men And A Truck Home Moving Services Review from Mountain View, California
Update by user Jul 03, 2015
This franchise is in Waukegan Illinois, however when I reached out to Corporate in California some help but clearly not enough to pursue the Waukegan Illinois office to do the right thing by me.
Original review posted by user Jul 03, 2015
BEWARE!!!!these people have been a nightmare!
I had a simple move from an apartment to a storage while I go out of state for training. These Morons damaged my furniture that I bought in italy, cant find another bedroom set like it. I've been trying since March to get a claim form. They didn't respond to the BBB James, Contreal, Jose all those people who have lied are going to ***.
Its wrong to damage customers items that means something to them and they sleep every night as if its the right thing to do. They may get by without paying me for bedroom set, but they will have to answer on the day of judgment! Everything about this company is a lie. They lied sbout the rates, they didn't secure my items is shrink wrsp and they did a crappy job at putting things in storage.
They damaged my bedroom set, then put in the back of the storage turn backwards and when i moved the dresser out it fell apart. They didn't take the time to take my bedrails off the snatcked it apert snd damaged it badly. They are one town from me a they cant seem to figure out how to a claim form in the mail. They have contiually sent it via email and iyou cant down load it.
This is the worst group of grossly unprofessional, incomprehensible idots I've ever dealt with. Andriana is the only person who seems sensable. Its very upsetting they ripe off Miltary and people with disabilities.
Shsme on them.You will regret dealing with these thieves.

Police to review Madeleine inquiry after plea by parents
THE British government has agreed to a desperate request by Kate and Gerry McCann to review the handling of the investigation into the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.
The couple also hopes that Mrs McCann's highly personal book about the child's disappearance, which went on sale this week, will revive efforts to find their daughter.
Last night, after a direct appeal to British Prime Minister David Cameron to investigate the handling of their daughter's disappearance, a Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that the Metropolitan Police Service has agreed, at the request of the Home Secretary, to bring its particular expertise to the Madeleine McCann case."
Reacting to the news, Mr and Mrs McCann welcomed the "review" and thanked the government for committing such a significant resource as the Met to the search for their daughter.
"We welcome the government's response," they said. "This is clearly a step in the right direction. The expertise of the Metropolitan Police is renowned and we are reassured by our government's commitment to the search for Madeleine.
"We would like to thank Mr Cameron and the Home Secretary for committing such a significant resource.
"We would also like to thank the general public for the way in which they have continued to support our campaign to find Madeleine."
Earlier Mr McCann (42), told ITV1 show 'Lorraine': "We want people to read the book because it puts what's happened to us and what we are doing in context. But, more than anything, we want the public to get behind the search for Madeleine like they did in 2007."
Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3 2007, as her parents dined with friends nearby.
The official Portuguese inquiry into the disappearance was formally shelved in July 2008, although private detectives employed by the McCanns have continued the search.
Launching her book yesterday on her daughter's eighth birthday, Mrs McCann (43), said people were "understandably shocked" that the authorities had "essentially given up".
The McCanns, from Rothley, Leicestershire, have written to Mr Cameron asking for an "independent, transparent and comprehensive" review of all information about Madeleine's disappearance. The couple said they had "tried in vain" to secure a formal inquiry. They told Mr Cameron that "the benefits of pooling together different bits of evidence can be enormous".
A spokesman for Mr Cameron said he wanted to make sure his government did "all it can to help them".
The book, entitled simply 'Madeleine', has been Amazon.co.uk's top-selling book for several days and is attracting huge interest worldwide.
The couple hope that the publication of the work will prompt anyone who holds vital information about what happened to the child on May 3 2007 to come forward at last.

Chainsaw Penis is what happens when you don't mature past the age of 10 years old. It is clear that Chainsaw Penis think that they are absolutely hilarious and "le epic XDD" for making such bad music. There's simply nothing good here.Firstly, it's poorly recorded, in the way that it's horrible to listen to, not in a lo-fi atmospheric kind of way. Second of all it's poorly written, the songs, riffs, and ideas are just incredibly lazy, I'm sure this was made in one afternoon with no thought put into it at all. Thirdly, it is painfully unfunny. The whole album is based around memes, really fucking terrible, unfunny memes that a 10 year old would find difficulty laughing at.
This music itself is pretty poor. Not the worst in the world, but very lazy and generic. The riffs could be made up on the fly with no thought behind them, the songs are so short and devoid of any substance that there's not really any point in them even being there in the first place. To top it off, it's played horribly. The drummer can't keep time, and can barely play at all, the guitarists are sloppy, and the vocals are annoying. I'm sure they don't care, or are bad on purpose, but that doesn't make it excusable. Simply saying "yeah, we're the worst band in the world" doesn't actually excuse you from making good music. Apparently, this is a grindcore/ death metal release, but I can't find any grind here at all, and the only death metal i can here are the (very poor) vocals.
Clearly, the aim of this release is to be funny. The whole thing is meant to be a joke. But, unfortunately, this is where it fails hardest. The humour is portrayed perfectly in the cover art. Really unfunny memes that even 9gag would say are shit. I really wonder why a bunch of guys in their 20's would find any enjoyment in making this sort of crap. Throughout the release, band members shout the word "penis", as if it's funny. I am absolutely astounded that anyone above the age of 13 has such an underdeveloped and immature brain that they find this sort of thing entertaining or funny. I'm not saying that every joke someone makes has to be some high brow witty satire, but at least try and have some sort of wit or intelligence. With covers of Justin Bieber and an ocarina (I'm sure they chose to use an ocarina because "Zelda is so epic xDD") cover of the shit meme "epic sax guy", you know you're in for a rib-cracking time.
I'm sure if the band read this review, their retort would be "Well you keyboard warrior, we're SUPPOSED to be shit, unfunny musicians! That's the joke you hater!". But in reality, trying to be unfunny (or just being unfunny and trying to cover it up by saying they're meant to be unfunny), is simply not funny, entertaining, or worthy of any praise at all. The music is very poor, and the "humour" is unfunny, irritating, and cringe worthy at best. Just avoid this band as best as you can. But who knows, this could be a highly potent piece of satire mocking the type of person who enjoys bottom of the barrel shit like this, Poe's Law is very strong here. Either way it's still abysmal.
I hate myself and have nothing better to do, so here I find myself, again, reviewing music by Chainsaw Penis. Apparently these guys made a new album (but it took nine months to release somehow? I don't understand the delay, this literally could have been made within two hours after the debut demo), and - surprise, surprise! - it's awful. Again. It's even awful at being convincingly and wholly awful.
There's less actual quasi-metal on this album, but what's left of it seems to have nominally improved (and see, this is what I don't get - why are the band actually getting better if their goal is to be shit? It's like they can't even be convincingly and wholly awful, and I find that absolutely sad). "Arise" and "...in a Blender" have a couple of almost-passable groovy grindcore riffs, and the rest of the riffs aren't exactly painful to listen to or anything. The guitar tone has nominally improved -it's still not really ideal or even good but it's slightly less quiet and fuzzy this time around. The music has a few more legitimate blast beats to its name now, though there are still plenty of needless rocking rhythms. The band still use a bunch of weak growls, but instead of shrieks they're now accompanied by loud, laughably British yells which are usually used when the music is trying to be teh funnayz.
There are a lot more "comedy" tracks on Disregard Females; Acquire Chainsaws than there were on 50 Shades of Shit (they probably take up about 75% of the release's length), and taking into account that the band aren't funny at all you can imagine all the good that this does for the album as a whole. Spamming "penis" all over your band's music isn't funny, nor is it funny to drown your music in le maymayz, to constantly call your band "the worst fucking music ever made by man" (especially when it's not), or to cover famous songs like Justin Bieber's "Baby" while intentionally trying to be terrible. Last time I wrote a 600-word essay on why the band's idea of "trolling" through being retarded is, well, fucking retarded... but to avoid merely repeating myself, I think that this time I'll just link to this image and leave it at that.
Have you noticed yet that this is one of the shortest reviews I've ever written? It's not because I'm being lazy; this release is just horribly devoid of any sort of substance you could possibly want. I've probably spent more time writing this review than it took the band to record this. It's literally just less than 20 minutes of shitty humor based around a 12-year-old's idea of trolling mixed with music that tries to be shitty but can't even consistently get that right. This isn't funny, it just makes the band members look like morons (because they most certainly are). And if you think it's amusing, then you're probably stupid - and I don't mean that in jest, I mean that you are literally nowhere near intelligent if you enjoy this. The fans' comments on the band's Facebook page seem to indicate that they spend their time alternating between listening to Chainsaw Penis and huffing glue, so I think that's at least somewhat accurate.
Not offensive, not funny, not even singularly atrocious. Just stupid.
Well, what can I say about Chainsaw Penis? Not a lot, actually. They're (supposedly) a death/grind band from England, and they're very keen on internet memes. They are very bad.
What? Not enough for you? I already put more effort into the review than these guys apparently did for the album. Bah, fine, I'll elaborate.
The album opens on "Barbara Fran", the band's acapella attempt at Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. It carries on about 20 seconds, sounding like it was recorded on a headset mic, until someone abruptly shouts "PENIS!" That, ladies and gentlemen, sets the tone for the works to come: poorly recorded and unfunny. They would later repeat the same schtick with a Justin Bieber song, and it's no funnier there.
When we do, eventually, get to the actual music, it's mostly something only vaguely like death/grind, made up of a few punky, kinda death-metallish groove riffs and the very occasional section of pseudo-grindcore blasting. Maybe it's just all the samples and silly stuff (which makes up like half the runtime of the album), but to me they sound like a really bad Crom (the American one) worship act. The drums are an annoying clanging, the bass a fluffy lump, the guitars limp, and the vocals so airy and quiet that they're barely audible most of the time.
This is a band that thinks pop-culture references, random phrases and meaningless vulgarity are funny (whoever tagged their lyrical these as "satire" should read a dictionary), and that saying "lol we are shit!" is all you need to do to escape the very obvious criticisms. They want to be "trolls", but they're not edgy, or provocative, or annoying. They're just bad, and being self-aware isn't an excuse for sucking.
If Anal Cunt was the 4chan of music, these guys are the 9gag. I give them more than 0% because I have heard worse bands. Funny, that. They were probably aiming to make the worst music of all time, and they failed at that too.

For the past 22 years, Mariyah Gallery has been nurturing Dumaguete's art community by hosting regular art exhibits for paintings and terra cotta sculptures, and just recently, hosting the provincial leg of cross-cultural interaction exhibit "Salpung", besides the one held at the NCCA Gallery in Manila.
Salpung's Manila leg featured the works of Egyptian artist Ibrahim Ghazala, London-based Filipino artist Yveese Belen, Dumaguete based-artist Kitty Taniguchi, Bacolod-based artist Anthony Fermin, Baguio-based artists Jordan Mang osan, Art Lozano and Agang Maganda, Zambales-based artist Farley del Rosario, Quezon based-artist Tres Roman, Rizal based-artist Felix Amoncio, Bulacan based-artists Wilfredo Offemaria, Jr. and Gonzalo Uy, and Manila-based artists Anton Balao, Jomike Tejido, Cathy Lasam, Janelle Tang, and Jojo Ballo.
Established in 1992 by Cristina "Kitty" Taniguchi who holds Ph.D. units in English Literature from Silliman University, Mariyah Gallery in Dumaguete City is the coordinating and implementing body of the Dumaguete Open Biennial Terra Cotta Art Festival Exhibit and Competition, which successfully launched its series of events in 2005 and 2007.
Haven to visual artists, the Gallery has a Residency Program on Terra Cotta for artists who are serious in pursuing the medium. The Residency is held every two years with the main objective of meeting one requirement of the Terra Cotta Biennial, which is to produce well-meaning terra cotta works for the Special Exhibition.
Mariyah Gallery had a bar and restaurant for events and catering, and a three room pension house when it opened in the early 90's. Today, it has dispensed with the bar and restaurant, and has just recently revived its artist residency program.
Home to Kitty Taniguchi, her daughter Maria S. Taniguchi and her brother Danni Sollesta, Mariyah Gallery is housed in a Spanish casa with whitewashed walls, lush gardens that showcase the sculptures and other installations, and has ample wall areas to accommodate regular-sized paintings.
Mariyah Gallery is a member of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts – National Committee on Art Galleries as represented by Danni Sollesta.
"Generally, I feel that my subconscious dictates an intention more on processing my art than considering an ultimate meaning or message. I would also say that in doing so, I am most of the time satisfying some kind of psychology on my part. I pick up anything (issues, forms, objects, texts contexts whatsoever) that i think would meet the psychological demand/s or sensation/s that I expect to achieve out of my effort. Though, I would not deny that I am conscious of intention that pertains to meaning (as other artists do with lots of considerations I suppose)."

Answers: Light, moderate, and heavy fog
Q: I have seen heavy fog defined as having a visibility of less than 0.3 miles. But have never see what defines a moderate or light fog. Is there some standard? Lowell, Glen Allen, Va.
A: This sounds like a pretty simple question, but isn't. First, here's the definition of "fog" from the American Meteorological Society's (AMS) Glossary of Weather and Climate: "A visible aggregate of minute water droplets suspended in the atmosphere near the earth's surface; a cloud in contact with the earth's surface. Fog is responsible for reducing visibility to less than 1 kilometer (5/8 mile)."
Aviation weather observations and forecasts, intended for pilots, use "fog" when it reduces visibility to 5/8 statute miles or less. "Mist" is reported and foerecast for "foggy conditions" with visibility greater than 5/8 miles.
Like you, I've seen NWS offices use the terms "heavy fog," "moderate fog," or "light fog," but I couldn't find these terms in the NWS online Glossary or the AMS Glossary.
I asked Chris Vaccaro, the NWS public relations chief. He sent me the following from Paul Stokols, who's with the NWS Public Weather Services Branch:
"The only official definition of fog intensity that I am aware of is in our directive for non precipitation products (10-515) which defines a "Dense Fog Advisory" as a product issued for "Widespread or localized fog reducing visibilities to 1/4 mile or less." The Weather element allows forecasters to differentiate between F+ (heavy or Dense fog) , F (Fog or Moderate Fog), and F- (Light Fog) and the computer worded forecasts pick up on these distinctions. However, there is no national standard for these definitions."
He notes that most NWS forecast offices would use the code for heavy fog when the visibility is less than 1/4 mile, just "fog" when the visibility is between 1/4 mile to 1 mile and light fog for visibility of 1 miles or more. "These tend to be set by forecasters based on local climatology for frequency of occurrence."

outperform the benchmark over a market cycle while incurring less volatility. Though small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than
larger, more established companies, the Westwood SmallCap Fund pursues high quality companies with solid balance sheets, strong cash flow and an attractive opportunity
for price appreciation, identified through research and analysis of their strong business fundamentals and compelling competitive advantage. As in all of Westwood's funds,
the downside risk and upside potential of every investment are quantified. If the downside risk is too great, the team will not invest in the stock regardless of its upside potential.
Portfolio risk is managed by limiting sector weights and the position size of each holding. The Fund's holdings and new investment opportunities are continually assessed for an
optimal reward-to-risk ratio. Holdings are sold upon reaching a predetermined price target, a change to a company's business fundamentals, a violation of the original investment
thesis, or if the investment team identifies a new investment that offers a more attractive opportunity for the Fund.
The SmallCap Fund is benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Value Index.

THE COLBY TRIBUNE "Rexford Items"
The following excerpts are from THE COLBY TRIBUNE for 1890. During this time,
THE COLBY TRIBUNE begged for smaller communities to send news about their areas.
There was not a lot of news from these smaller communities, but enough to be of
great interest. Below are news items that pertained to Rexford, Thomas County,
Kansas only. They have been transcribed to the best of my ability and quality
of the copied microfilm that has preserved these words for over 100 years.
You may find several surnames that appear mistyped. While I am not saying that
these have been typed perfectly, I have checked several surnames and many
appear to be the same but are spelled differently in the original type.
This is a true labor of love for the continual search of historical information.
I hope you find what you are looking for.
Graciously transcribed and contributed by Susan Henderson (email@example.com) 23 October 1999

Our merchants are busy and their increasing trade speaks well for their enterprise.

There has been quite a large amount of wheat sown the past week during the open weather.
Mr. Isaac Flood has been canvassing this part of the county for the Fairbury, Nebr.,
nursery, and has taken a large number of orders for fruit, forest and ornamental trees.
This is right, let every homesteader plant trees and thus help make our county
blossom as the rose. Nothing will give so great a return for the money invested as
the planting of trees. Why not organize an horticultural society and begin in a
systematic way to learn the best varieties to plant and the best methods of planting
and caring for the same.
~ signed Observer

the hustler.
The ladies of North Randall, in their usual way betook themselves to the task of
making a quilt, and on February 28th, 1890, invited Grandma Stewardson to a quilting.
A goodly number of people gathered at the residence of W. A. Douglass, where, after
a good dinner, Grandma Stewardson was informed that it was her 64th birthday and

surrounding counties of Rawlins, Sheridan and Decatur. The exercises opened at
11 o'clock with martial music by the Rexford glee club. Prayer was offered by
Rev. W. W. Armstrong, after which the Rexford Sanger Bund favored the crowd with
a number of fine songs. Prof. J. W. McPherson read the declaration of independence
in an able manner. The orator of the day, J. A. Gill, was introduced and those who
heard his remarks speak very highly of his eloquence and the character of his
speech generally. To the soldiers of the late war he payed the highest tribute.
To the women of Thomas county he had only words of praise and encouragement for
helping to maintain the home under so many existing difficulties. Mr. Gill made
many friends in that audience by his eloquent speech.
Racing of various kinds was indulged in during the afternoon.
In the evening a grand display of fireworks was an interesting sight to the spectators;
and a dance in the evening on the platform erected for the purpose, was enjoyed by a
large number of young people.
Not an accident of any kind marred the pleasures of the day and the Rexford people
may well feel proud of this, the first Fourth of July celebration ever had in the town.

Harvest is nearly completed, and wheat in the stack. The threshers have began
work and the yield will be very light, and the quality not so good as last year.
Corn looks exceedingly well considering the season and the rain of last week
gave it such a start that with a couple more such rains, there will be quite a
yield of corn in this part of Thomas county.
Mr. R. W. Connely has just finished sowing some cane and millet, and others are
trying the experiment. The growing millet looks fine and promises a good yield.

Chernoh Bah's 'The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa'
The new book is a genuine and significant contribution to the understanding of one of the worst tragedies of this century, an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to know what the human costs of regional poverty and underdevelopment are today, and a much-needed voice for the actual victims of the tragedy.
The region most devastated by 2014's Ebola outbreak -- a tragedy that officially killed more than eleven thousand innocent men, women, and children in a matter of months -- bears the mark of colonialism and neocolonialism.
Sierra Leone, a small country on the West African coast, was once a British colony. Together with its neighbors, the former French colony of Guinea (usually referred to by locals as Guinea-Conakry to distinguish it from Guinea-Bissau) and the de facto US colony of Liberia, it makes up the Mano River region of West Africa.
The Mano River region is a resource-rich tropical territory that is also one of the poorest regions on earth, with Sierra Leone ranking 183 out of 187 countries on the Human Development Index, Guinea ranking 179, and Liberia ranking 175 in 2014. Every year, billions of dollars' worth of iron ore, bauxite, rubber, aluminum, diamonds, palm oil, and other natural resources are extracted by European, American, and Chinese corporations.
This economic and historical context is indispensable for understanding why the Ebola outbreak arose in, and ravaged, the region. In other words, it's critical to put a spotlight on exactly that which the media overlooked: the conditions of extreme underdevelopment in the Mano River due to neo-colonial exploitation. Western journalism's ahistorical reading of the Ebola outbreak's genesis and transmission was just another manifestation of the general tendency to normalize the death and suffering of Africans, which includes the demonization of African culture and dehumanization of African victims of tragedies.
'The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa: Corporate Gangsters, Multinationals & Rogue Politicians', the latest book from Africanist Press, an independent book publishing company based in Philadelphia, is the first indigenous account of the Ebola outbreak. Written by Chernoh Alpha M. Bah, a well-known journalist, human rights activist, and chairman of the Sierra Leone-based African Socialist Movement, the book provides a critical reexamination of the Ebola outbreak and offers a corrective to the dominant narrative.
The chief goal of the book is to rebut a report by German scientist Fabian Leendertz, an employee of Germany's Robert Koch Institute, entitled "Investigating the Zoonotic Origin of the West Africa Ebola Epidemic" and cited by almost every major news source as the definitive answer to the outbreak's origin.
The Leendertz study traces the outbreak to a two-year-old boy from a small Guinean village who, the study claims, contracted Ebola from an "insectivorous bat" after playing with, grilling, and eating the bat. Bah, who traveled to the Guinean village in question to interview patient zero's surviving father and relatives, deftly dismantles Leendertz claim, demonstrating that the study's findings are based on problematic circumstantial evidence. For example, the scientists involved in the study failed to find any presence of Ebola within the wildlife and bat populations surrounding the village despite extensive sampling, and also failed to provide any evidence that the boy actually died from Ebola, let alone constituted the virus's index case.
Most telling about the Leendertz study was its uncritical embrace by Western academics and journalists as legitimate, and the fact that its explanation for the outbreak trafficked in the colonial discourse of blaming the African's cultural habits (hunting and eating wildlife in this case) for human tragedy -- thus exonerating a colonial legacy of underdevelopment and exploitation.
Anyone who watched the news late 2014 saw the shameful way in which the media reproduced that mentality. Sensationalized images of doctors in hazmat suits and interminable interviews with talking heads about the chances of the virus spreading to America defined the media's response.
At the start of the outbreak, Vice News, the viral investigative journalism outlet that's helped define Western journalism in the twenty first century, released a video entitled "Monkey Meat and the Ebola Outbreak in Liberia." The segment's host, a handsome, American, Peace-Corps type twenty-something, travels to Liberia and investigates the cause of the outbreak, which he says unspecified scientists have "speculated might come from the prevalent consumption of bushmeat" -- an entirely unsubstantiated claim.
At one point the host buys a cooked monkey from a local market woman after belittling her for selling it despite the government's moratorium. As ominous music rises beneath the scene, the host then offers the monkey to two young men outside of the market, who gladly accept the gift and begin to eat the monkey, amused at the response of the American as he looks on in disgust and bewilderment. When the men playfully struggle to tear the monkey in half to share it, causing bits of it go flying, the host cries out in panic, "Oh my god, I'm getting fucking pegged with Ebola monkey right now!"
The contrast with 'The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa' could hardly be starker. Bah's book offers the most exhaustive investigation into the causes of, and responses to, the tragedy, exploring the political economy and historical context of the outbreak and questioning the official origin story.
The book reveals the extensive presence of Western research on highly contagious and deadly pathogens in the region -- research that provides millions of dollars of funding to Western corporations, universities, and defense initiatives -- and asks why this securitization, monetization, and cultivation of deadly pathogens within a region incapable of withstanding a lab breach due to a total lack of health infrastructure was not considered in Western attempts to understand the virus' genesis and transmission. Tulane University alone recently received US$25 million from the US government to study Lassa fever in the region, a viral hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola.
As Bah points out, employing medicine for racist and colonial purposes has plenty of precedents: American physicians using African slaves for surgical exploration, the US government infecting black men with syphilis in Tuskegee, and the Nazis experimenting on European Jews during the Holocaust.
It is only within this context that the 2014 Ebola outbreak can be understood. The presence of islands of well-funded, prestigious, pathogen research centers in one of the most impoverished regions on earth, the obviously false official explanations for the outbreak, and the clear financial and political incentives of corporations, foreign governments, and local politicians in a disaster such as the Ebola outbreak must enter the picture if the outbreak is to be explained and justice for its victims is to be had.
The deployment of US, British, and Chinese troops in response to the epidemic; the complete failure of the international community to adequately respond to or contain the outbreak; and the West African politicians' exploitation of the contagion to stifle dissent and arrest political opponents are also central to the book.
The same week Barack Obama was praising Sierra Leonean President Ernest Bai Koroma in Washington, DC, for example, a group of young protestors who showed up at the US Embassy in the capital Freetown to decry the Koroma administration's use of emergency laws to arrest radio hosts, protesters, and anyone else critical of the government, were being rounded up and thrown in jail.
In Liberia, where over three thousand US troops were deployed, the fulfillment of the long-time US goal of establishing a military presence in West Africa -- previously thwarted by concerned locals -- was achieved with little resistance.
Even within leftist and progressive circles, a critical evaluation of the Ebola epidemic's origin and the world's response has been lacking. Bah's book aims to change that. Well-researched, scholarly, and deeply human, it aspires to give foreground to West Africa's political and economic degradation -- and the potential for popular resistance. His is also a case study of the workings of global capitalism and cultural imperialism in twenty-first century Africa.
As one of the editors of Bah's book and a close friend of many Sierra Leoneans, I watched helplessly from afar as schools shut down, entire villages were quarantined for weeks with little to no food, and thousands of people were rounded up against their will for simply having a common fever and then forced into tented treatment centers from which few emerged.
Bah's book is not an exercise in conspiracy theory or anti-imperialist polemics. (If anything, it pulls back from its indictment, concluding with a modest request given the death of thousands of innocent people: an independent investigation into the outbreak's origin and transmission.) 'The Ebola Outbreak in West Africa' is a genuine and significant contribution to the understanding of one of the worst tragedies of this century, an indispensable resource for anyone wanting to know what the human costs of regional poverty and underdevelopment are today, and a much-needed voice for the actual victims of the tragedy.
By exploring the historical roots of Western medicine's abuses, by uncovering the unacknowledged presence of governmental and multinational experimentation on deadly pathogens in the Mano River Region, and by doggedly investigating the official origin and transmission narratives, Bah has written what will surely be one of the definitive accounts of the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak.

In this video we are comparing the stabilization performance of the DJI Zenmuse H3-2D.
We have the Zenmuse mounted to a CarbonCore H6-950 with a PhotoShip One landing gear/gimbal mount. On the gimbal mount we have directly hard mounted a GoPro Hero HD which will provide the 'unstabilized' video. On the Zenmuse mount we have mounted a GoPro 3 Black for providing the 'stabilized' video. Both cameras were synched approximately in post.
It's important to note, that by saying the Zenmuse is stabilized we mean actively stabilized in real-time and NOT stabilized by software in post production. What you are seeing on the right side of the frame is video raw from the camera with ZERO post stabilization applied.
The results are obvious and impressive. The DJI Zenmuse does an amazing job at stabilizing the camera even in aggressive flying maneuvers.
We build and sell these systems ready to fly. Contact us today!

Europe has always seemed like a pipe dream, something so far away and way too expensive to ever seem possible. It was with great surprise and excitement that I found out that a project I had worked on with Crest Pictures and Friends, Freerider was chosen to be a part of the FreeRide Film Festival. With word of this I had tickets to go to Saint Lary, France to attend and another two weeks to check out the Alps.
The plane landed in Paris, France as the morning sun crested over the horizon for the next 48 hours I would take a whirlwind tour seeing touristy areas like the Luv, Effiel Tower and the Notre Dame before heading to the South of France. Once in the small country town of Saint Lary which is nestled in the Pyranees mountains I tried new foods, saw different films and celebrated a culture I have been fortunate to be a part of. It was a honor to have our film along side big budget films like All.I.Can, This is my Winter and Art of Flight.
With a train ticket in hand I decided to head east to Chamonix just as a front was approaching, that night I watched an almost full moon illuminate over towns before I made it to my resting point the Geneva Airport where I would take a bus to Cham the next day. Once I made it to Chamonix it was nuking snow and the drought they had been experiencing was officially over. I stayed with a Cham legend named Gary Bigham who was filled with stories of the valley and introducing people like Glen Plake to the mountains he called home. By my second day there the weather had warmed up and it started raining at the resort. There was a moment that I loaded a 75 person tram with 4 other people and decided I needed to head further east for colder weather and to meet up with a old friend.
I was able to hitch a ride with Caroline George, another First Ascent athlete over a pass and into Switzerland where I boarded a train and made my way to Bad Ragaz. While in Switzerland I checked out Davos and partied with my friend Guy Newman having a blast in one of the most expensive places in the world. The forecasts were looking optimistic so we decided to head further East to meet up with Lea and Lorenzo in Innsbruck, Austria and ski Saint Anton Am Alburg.
Our first day at Saint Anton was amazing with over 50cms of new snow and no competition for fresh tracks as we rode bell to bell, while I couldn't see the terrain it was powder. That night we said goodbye to Guy and Lea and Lorenzo showed me around the streets on Innsbruck before getting some rest in preparation for another long day at the resort.
The next day we watched the sunrise and Lorenzo and I said goodbye to Lea and heading West on the Auto bond to Saint Anton. The conditions were great and before we knew it the clouds had lifted. I was stoked we had bluebird and powder conditions. It was one of the best resort days of my life and I owe a huge thanks to Lorenzo for showing me around before saying goodbye and hoping on a train to the Geneva Airport.
The storm had hit hard and the Airport was filled with travelers carrying snowboard and ski bags and here I was leaving for Oslo, Norway.
My last day of travel was a whirlwind day in Oslo with friend and local Arild where I tried local food, hiked the trails and checked out the bustling city.
The trip was only 3 weeks long but I was able to experience so much and I owe many thanks.
Thank You
Kathy and Robert Christensen, All my peeps at Eddie Bauer, Bruno Delay, Guy Newman, Lorenzo, Lea Hart, Gary Bigham, Blitz, Arild and everyone else who made this a possibility.

Finally a Diagnosis
Published by needswings14 in the blog needswings14's blog. Views: 63
For about 8 months I've had this hoorible back problems. I've been to 3 different doctors, countless chiropractic appointments, had an MRI, and dozens x-rays. Just the other day we went to an awsome doctor who finally told me what is wrong.
My lowest disc is almost herniated, the one above it is buldging, and the next two are dehydrated. When the doctor told me that I cried in the office, my mom cried too. Because of it I am not allowed to play majority of sports, only swimming and a little bit of soccer.
I'm a runner not a swimmer
But sports is my life and I can't do it anymore unless I want screws and bolts in my spine. And thats not what i want, so that means I have to become inactive and watch from the sidelines.
Today was my last rec soccer game. I had to quit so I would be able to try out for my high school team this year. I'm angry that I am hurting myself by doing the things that I love, and I've been taking it out on my family and my boyfriend. They don't deserve that.
When track season comes along I am not allowed to play because the discus and shot would completely destroy my discs. I;m not looking forward to just watching my teammates able to compete while I offer my help and criticism because I was on varsity.
Sometimes life really sucks. But this is a time to turn lemons into lemonade and just keep living.

Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), today sent the following letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after the Administration indefinitely delayed the deployment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Secure Communities Program to the state of Alabama.
January 17, 2011
The Honorable Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Dear Secretary Napolitano:
I am writing today to insist the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fulfill its stated enforcement priority by immediately deploying the Secure Communities Program to Alabama. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) planned to complete Secure Communities in Alabama by December 30, 2011, consistent with DHS's stated intention of full, Nation-wide rollout by the end of 2012. At the Department's direction, deployment in Alabama was indefinitely delayed.
The Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security has consistently and staunchly supported the Secure Communities Program in a bipartisan fashion and the program has had wide support from Members of both the House and Senate. In fact, the recently enacted Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2012 states: "Secure Communities is an effective and significant law enforcement tool; its deployment and use should not be hampered by any jurisdiction or official."
In your own words, Secure Communities "has proven to be the single best tool at focusing our immigration enforcement resources on criminals and egregious immigration law violators. Termination of this program would do nothing to decrease the amount of enforcement. It would only weaken public safety..."
The decision to delay deployment in Alabama, a state that enacted its own immigration enforcement law due to concerns about the Federal government's failure to enforce the law, is incomprehensible and gives additional evidence to those very concerns. According to the explanation provided by DHS to my staff, the decision to delay deployment was not taken for legal, programmatic, or operational reasons. Rather, the decision appears motivated by political considerations related to the Administration's pursuit of a lawsuit to enjoin all aspects of H.B. 56 -- despite a district court judge's clear ruling that only certain provisions of the law should be enjoined. The DHS explanation states:
"Although the federal courts have enjoined several parts of H.B. 56, certain provisions were not enjoined and are currently in effect While these provisions of Alabama's state immigration enforcement law, which conflict with ICE's immigration enforcement policies and programs, remain the subject of litigation, ICE does not believe it is appropriate to expand deployment of Secure Communities in Alabama."
I support strong immigration enforcement and giving ICE the tools it needs to execute its vital mission, including deployment of Secure Communities, a program for which you have also strongly advocated. The decision to delay deployment in Alabama while the program remains fully active and deployed in other states with pending litigation demonstrates why it is unnecessary to suspend the fulfillment of enforcement priorities that are not subject to such litigation.
Madam Secretary, I urge DHS to uphold its stated commitments, fulfill its enforcement obligations, and fully complying with the Secure Communities deployment schedule in Alabama and all across the Nation. Given the importance of immigration enforcement to our homeland security and public safety, I see no valid reason for further delay.
Robert Aderholt
Chairman, Subcommittee on Homeland Security
