About Havana
To wander Cuba's capital city -- though it is slowly developing -- is to feel like walking around on set of a movie from the fifties. It is impossible not to be charmed by the crumbling colonial buildings, patched-up classic American cars, and a laid-back Caribbean attitude, which make Havana the rightful tourist hotspot of this amazing country.
There are plenty of options for hostels in Havana and places to stay, whether in happening Vedado or amidst the splendor of Havana Vieja (Old Havana). Cuba allows its citizens to register with the state in order to open their houses up to paying guests and most "hostel" accommodation is to be found in such Casas Particulares. Quality and hospitality is usually of a very high standard, though backpackers will find that staying in a Casa is more expensive than typical hostel accommodation elsewhere in the world as prices tend to be per room. Meals are generally offered too but probably won't be as cheap as eating out in many places, though they are likely to be high quality and enormous. Budget backpackers will have to get their fill of cheap eats in the form of poor quality pizzas and hotdogs.
Flags and Communist slogans are everywhere, amidst a constant peppering of Che Guevara's iconic image. This is never more apparent than at the Plaza de la Revolución, where the vast monument to Cuban hero Jose Marti is almost overshadowed by two Soviet-looking tower blocks bearing the images of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
Havana has plenty of sights, museums, and activities to occupy the most restless of travelers. Visit a cigar factory, sample the national tipple at the Havana Club Museum, marvel at historic buildings, or engage with the country's fascinating past at the Museum of the Revolution.
The daytime action in Old Havana stretches from the Capital Building and down the busy Paseo del Prado, where many shops and restaurants can be found. In the evening, the hustle and bustle moves to the waterfront promenade -- the Malecón. Children splash about in pools, fishermen unravel never-ending reels of nylon, lovers stroll, and buskers bask in the hazy sunlight; it makes for excellent people-watching and great photographs.
Most tourists will undoubtedly pay at least one visit to the huge Hotel Nacional to sit in the grounds and sample a mojito or two and watch the action of the Malecón unfold on the street below. Less touristy nightlife is generally found away from the old town. Vedado has a good mix of bars and live music venues frequented by locals and visitors alike. Ernest Hemingway fans can devise their own pub crawl by visiting the various haunts frequented by the American writer during his Cuban residency from the forties to the sixties. There is also a highly acclaimed museum devoted to the author in his former home on the outskirts of the city.

Bowling lanes are equipped typically with first monitoring devices serving to verify the position of the pins and second monitoring devices designed to detect the passage of the balls, also a first control station connected both to the first and second monitoring devices and to the actuator of a machine for recovering and setting up the pins, in such a way that the game can be run and supervised according to a selected program and on the basis of the information received in signals returned by the two sets of monitoring devices; in the equipment disclosed, the first and second monitoring devices are incorporated into a single assembly together with a second control station interfaced with the program and connected to a communications network of which the first control station forms a part.
1. A system for controlling at least two adjacent bowling lanes, each lane having an approach end from which a bowling ball is delivered and a target end toward which the ball is directed at a set of pins, each lane having actuatable means for resetting the pins, the system comprising:
a first control station coupled to the actuatable means for resetting the pins;
a second control station coupled to a central control unit;
a video camera coupled to the second control station and having an angle of view which detects a position of the pins on each of the two adjacent lanes, the video camera positioned between the two adjacent lanes and providing a first signal coupled to the first control station, said first signal being an encoded signal derived from an image viewed by the camera, wherein the encoded signal represents a comparison in position of the pins on the two adjacent lanes between an initial position and a position after the delivery of the ball, said initial position representing a preprogrammed map of said pins on the lanes before delivery of said ball, said comparison in pin positions determining a computation of a bowling score of the two adjacent lanes; and
a monitoring means for detecting the passage of balls on the two adjacent lanes, the monitoring means positioned between the two adjacent lanes and providing a second signal coupled to the first control station, said monitoring means comprised of a combination of at least two photocells and at least two reference cells in alignment with each of said photocells, one said combination of cells directed across one of said two adjacent lanes and the other of said combination of cells directed across the other of said two adjacent lanes, wherein said video camera, said monitoring means, and said second control station comprises a single assembly mounted on a channel cover disposed between the two adjacent lanes.
2. A pin and a bowling ball monitoring assembly for monitoring two adjacent bowling lanes in an automated bowling system, each lane having an approach end from which said balls are delivered and a target end toward which the balls are directed at said pins, an actuatable means for resetting the pins and a first control station coupled to the actuatable means for resetting the pins, the assembly comprising:
a video camera having an angle of view which detects a position of the pins on each of two adjacent lanes, the video camera positioned between the two adjacent lanes and providing a first signal coupled to the first control station, said first signal being an encoded signal derived from an image viewed by the camera, wherein the encoded signal represents a comparison in position of the pins on the two adjacent lanes between an initial position and a position after the delivery of the ball, said initial position representing a preprogrammed map of said pins on the lanes before delivery of said ball, said comparison in pin positions determining a computation of a bowling score of the two adjacent lanes; and
a monitoring means for detecting the passage of balls on the two adjacent lanes, the monitoring means positioned between the two adjacent lanes and providing a second signal coupled to the first control station, said monitoring means comprised of a combination of at least two photocells and at least two reference cells in alignment with each of said photocells, one of said combinations of cells directed across one of said two adjacent lanes and the other of said combination of cells directed across the other of said two adjacent lanes, wherein the video camera, said second control station, and the monitoring means comprise a single assembly disposed on a channel cover between the two adjacent lanes.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/279,937, filed Jul. 25, 1994 now abandoned.
The present invention relates to control equipment for the game of bowling at pins, and in particular to equipment that comprises monitoring and control devices such as will govern the operation of one or more bowling lanes.
It is increasingly the practice for bowling centers to offer a series of optional services such as, for example, the automatic computation of scores or of competition places achieved by different players. To this end it has become normal for the classic tenpin bowling lane, which essentially comprises a flat elongated playing surface and a machine for recovering and setting up the pins, to be fitted with auxiliary equipment, in some cases operated from a personal computer, capable of controlling the access of players to the various lanes and of calculating their points scores, payments, results, places, etc..
Using the latest techniques, the various stages of the game are overseen by software programs capable of commanding and/or controlling the start of each session, the turns taken by the individual players, the scores, and the start and stop maneuvers of the machine by which the pins are recovered and set up on the playing surface, etc.
For the various stages of play to occur in regular succession, or at least to ensure correct timing between the decisions of the software program and the effective state of the game, equipment must be installed such as will monitor a given number of parameters differing in composition from center to center according to the level of complexity in the particular facility, i.e. in the different services offered to customers.
Equipment of the type in question will generally comprise devices installed at the target end of the lane, which are described more fully in due course, serving respectively to identify the number of pins knocked over and to verify the passage of the ball beyond the pins. The information returned by these devices is used in the computation of scores and to pilot the operation of the machine which recovers and sets up the pins, or indeed for other optional functions such as, for example, calculating the velocity of the ball.
The device widely adopted for monitoring the pins is a scanner, that is to say an optical transducer, positioned to one side of the lane and trained on the area occupied by the pins, such as will produce an output signal indicating the presence or absence of the pins. The signal produced by the scanner can be reconstructed in such a manner as to generate a graph, or at least a succession of curves of which the peaks correspond to the positions of the pins left standing on the bowling surface. In the event of errors occurring with this system, the effective reading of the scanner cannot easily be verified, except by skilled technicians and in any case not without a notable loss of time; it can happen for instance that spurious objects, such as a portion of the element that sweeps up the fallen pins, are read mistakenly as pins standing on the surface.
Such eventualities constitute a drawback in systems which utilize a scanner. Moreover, the installation of a scanner involves tricky mechanical adjustments and a complicated calibration procedure which may dictate the need, for example, to use templates for the purpose of aligning the scanner optics on the relative part of the lane.
The passage of a ball beyond the pins can be sensed by devices of various types: one such is the simple backstop, effectively a bar or rail equivalent in length to the width of the playing surface, which is placed across the end of the lane and indicates the arrival of the ball by triggering a signal when struck. This mechanical device has been superseded in newer installations by devices with photocells of which the beam is directed across the lane, near the pins, at a point through which the ball passes immediately prior to its passage through the area occupied by the pins. With the passage of the ball, the photocell device emits a signal such as can be utilized by associated electronic control circuits to activate the device monitoring the fall of the pins, and thereafter, to relay a start signal to the machine which recovers and sets up the pins.
The installation of devices serving to monitor the passage of the ball requires considerable care, and moreover, in obtaining a correct synchronization of the various components which govern the operation of the lane (especially the exact timing of the instant when a reading is made), the association of the different items of hardware with the lane is a time-consuming process of which the impact can be negative.
In centers where a software program is installed, each lane or pair of lanes will be equipped with a control station connected to a central processing unit forming part of a control center coinciding generally with the cash desks. By means of suitable commands, the CPU (generally a computer capable at least of storing data), will enable access to the various lanes and remain configured to receive data from the respective stations, which at very least will indicate the number of games completed so as to allow calculation of the sums payable by the users. In practice, these stations can consist of packaged electronic components suitably connected to a computer located at the cash point.
A screen showing the scores and the frames will be installed generally at the approach to the lane, from where the ball is delivered, and, associated with the screen in some instances, a keyboard which can be used by the players to enter data.
The link-up of the components utilized for control and management of the game requires a significant number of connections between the various stations serving each pair of lanes, the central processing unit, the screens and the devices monitoring the fall of the pins and the passage of the ball.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to overcome the various drawbacks outlined above, by providing control equipment for bowling such as will afford an easy installation of the monitoring devices utilized, optimization of the image relayed by the device monitoring the fall of the pins, and simple connections both between the different parts of the single bowling lane and between the various lanes installed in the center.
The stated object is realized, in control equipment according to the present invention, through the incorporation into a single assembly of means by which to monitor the position of the pins and means by which to monitor the passage of the balls; also associated with the equipment is a control station which can be connected to a machine of conventional type for setting up and recovering the pins, and connected also to a central control unit capable of functioning interactively with the monitoring means in response to a selected game program.
The monitoring means consist in a television camera capable of viewing the position of the pins and of producing a signal that can be interpreted by the program software, and a photocell device detecting the passage of the balls; the equipment is provided further with fixing means allowing its association with a lateral area of the lane, for example such as a channel or a channel cover extending between two lanes paired in the conventional manner.
The invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with the aid of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic illustrations showing a typical pair of bowling lanes fitted with control equipment according to the present invention, viewed in plan from above and from the side, respectively;
FIG. 3 illustrates a possible method of monitoring the position of the pins and encoding and decoding the relative signal.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which true proportions are deliberately ignored so as to facilitate the illustration of certain components, the control equipment according to the invention is designed for association with a bowling lane of the type affording a predominantly longitudinal playing surface 1 extending between an approach end 2 from which balls 7 are delivered, and a target end 3 at which the balls are directed.
By way of example, FIG. 1 illustrates two such lanes paired together in an arrangement almost invariably adopted in bowling centers.
Each of the two approaches 2 is provided with data display means 21, which might be a VDU, and data input means 22 (see FIG. 2) consisting typically in a keyboard.
The target end 3 of each lane is equipped with a machine by which pins 6 are recovered and set up in groups 60 on the playing surface 1; the machine is not illustrated graphically in the drawings, being conventional in embodiment and strictly incidental to the invention, but indicated schematically by a block denoted 5 and an actuator device denoted 51, of which the actuator 51 is capable of receiving or transmitting a relative input or output signal, for example start or stop, and in practice provides the connection between the machine 5 and the remainder of the system.
The lanes are served by first monitoring means 31 for verifying the position of the pins and second monitoring means 32 for verifying the passage of the balls 7.
Each lane or pair of lanes is equipped with a first control station 4, which in the example illustrated occupies a position near to the data displays 21 at the approach end 2; this first control station 4 is connected to at least one central control unit 40, to which further control stations 49 may likewise be connected in number according to the number of lanes installed in the center, or to the number of lanes conveniently manageable by the same central control unit.
The first control station 4 is connected both to the pin recovery and set-up machine 5 (by way of the actuator device 51) and to the first and second monitoring means 31 and 32, in such a way as will allow control over the sucessive stages of the game on the basis of a selected program and of the input signals returned by the monitoring means 31 and 32 (of which the operation is piloted by an electronic control unit to be mentioned in due course).
The equipment to which the invention specifically relates is incorporated into a single assembly 10 (FIG. 2) comprising the first monitoring means 31 for verifying the position of pins 6, the second monitoring means 32 verifying the passage of the balls 7, and a second control station 44.
The first monitoring means 31 are embodied as a television camera 33 of which the angle of view 2 compasses two groups 60 of pins standing on the two contiguous playing surfaces 1 (FIG. 1).
The second control station 44 functions as an interface interacting with the software program overseeing the stages of the game and is connected into a communications network 16 incorporating the dialogue one with another by way of respective connections capable of receiving and transmitting signals.
The second monitoring means 32 comprise at least one photocell device, and at least one reference element disposed on the far side of the relative playing surface 1 in alignment with the photocell. The equipment further comprises means by which it can be fastened to a portion of the lane alongside the playing surface 1, for example a channel or a channel cover 9 created between the paired lanes.
In practice, the single assembly 10 might consist in a rigid support structure including at least one bracket (or other similar fixing element) such as can be fixed to the margin of the playing surface. In this way, the operations involved in installing the equipment are significantly simplified, since all that is required is to position the equipment on the channel cover 9 extending between the two paired lanes and to secure a bar 32', carrying the reference elements for the photocells 32, on the opposite side of each playing surface 1.
The second control station 44 is connected, either directly or by way of the first station 4, to the central control unit 40. Using a suitable software package, it will be possible to preprogram a map M for use with the camera 33 to the end of defining a matrix of coordinates reflecting the arrangement of the groups 60 of pins 6.
FIG. 3 illustrates a video display unit, denoted V, indicating one possible arrangement of a group 60 of pins 6.
In operation, the output signal from the camera 33 is encoded and fed by way of the control station 44 (which might be an electronic circuit board) into the communications network 16, for utilization by the various stations and the various components connected to the network.
Among the uses to which the encoded signal derived from the camera images can be put is the computing of scores: comparison is made between the matrix M of points corresponding to the initial position of the pins and the encoded signal representing the position of the pins after delivery of the ball, and the score then calculated from the difference between matrix and signal.
The televised images generated at the displays 21 installed in the approach area can be decoded by the first control station 4 and retransmitted; as discernible from FIG. 3, moreover, any given signal carried by the network 16 can be relayed from the first control station 4 to a further network 16' connecting with the central control unit 40.
Points scores can thus be computed by the central control unit 40, in the manner already described, and the matrix M can be programmed in an extremely simple manner.
In effect, the signal can be decoded to reproduce the camera image on the video display unit V, and a conventional input device such as a mouse 41 or a keyboard 42 then used to position a cursor (which could be numbered to indicate the corresponding pin as in FIG. 3) at the effective location of the pin in such a way as to create a matrix M of reference dots 6' against which to compare the encoded signal generated after the delivery of the ball.
For the sake of simplicity, FIG. 3 shows the image relative to one only of the two lanes covered by the camera 33, indicating a configuration of the matrix M with the cursor still to be positioned (by a movement denoted R) on pin number 10.
Even in the event of a malfunction, a check can be made on the affected lane directly from the central control unit 40, and therefore from the cash desk, by virtue of the fact that a video image of the current situation on the lane can be generated at a remote location.
The reference dots 6' can be positioned to coincide with the heads of the pins 6, thereby eliminating any possibility that the fall of a pin could go undetected.
The inclusion of the network 16 affords a further advantage, in that with connections established between all components, the network wiring can be exploited to carry both signals and power supply. If a transformer is incorporated into the first control station 4, for example, then all stations can be operated at a low voltage (e.g. 20 V), and utilizing only a four-way connection between the stations: two lines respectively for transmission and reception of signals, and two carrying power.

sounds like water is draining from one side t oanother when i turn a corner - viehicle
Answer 1
Check in the rear of your vehicle for water jugs. I have many customers come in for that. They laugh at me when I take them out and have them test drive the automobile. I am not being funny. It happens alot. There is never a charge either for the diagnosis. They are hearing their radiator water jugs churning. If thats not it hit me back. - Lowcountry_shawn

Furthermore, this is where I acquired my experience in transcription as I transcribed all my sessions that are one to two hours in length. Thanks to my father, I was able to memorize the keyboard at the early age of 6 and I was, thus, able help my older brother and sister by typing their academic research papers and book reports (while earning a pretty decent amount from them too :D). Incidentally, my typing speed is over 75 words per minute. Photography is my first love and since 1995, at 16 years old, I have been covering weddings, birthday parties, religious celebrations, and corporate events. WHAT YOU COULD EXPECT FROM ME: I am a person who takes pride in my work and you can expect great value from each project I work on. As such, I do not submit work that I could not stamp with my proverbial "Seal of Excellence". I thrive in a working environment that is casual and informal and yet professional in conduct... a fun yet professional working environment. I have professional work ethics and I do not accept nor apply to jobs that I know I could not do. However, I am open to learn new things. You may request samples of work or trial projects to demonstrate my skills. WHAT I EXPECT FROM MY CLIENTS: I guarantee to deliver consistent quality work for as long as (a) the client and/or the team is effective and clear in communicating, (b) the instructions are clear, (c) set expectations are doable and realistic, (d) client or his/her representative is reasonably available for clarifications and suggestions, (e) mutual professional and personal respect is practiced, (f) offered professional fee is fair and upholds my dignity as a professional. Thanks for dropping by and I hope to hear from you soon :D

Summary: - Quality Leadership Skills - Registered Nurse - Proficient with Microsoft Office - Excellent English Grammar and Pronunciation - Medical Transcriptionist - Graphic Designer - Good at multi-tasking - Writer, Proofreader and Editor - English Tutor - Knowledgeable with computer hardware and software - PC Builder - Table Designer and Rookie Carpenter In-depth: Back in 2009 I joined UNO which stands for Unlimited Networking of Opportunities and as the name implies, is a networking company. At first, just like most people, I joined to earn (which I did), but that wasn't what amazed me. What amazed me the most, aside from the strong bond they have, was the training's. It was here were I developed and honed my leadership skills, to be able to handle a group and mold them to be leaders themselves. To not only motivate or inspire them, but to offer them a deep understanding of the potential they have of which they can grow upon. It just astonished me that I had such capabilities. I've traveled to other cities just to attend seminars and attended training sessions with Top Earners of the company. The experience I had and the knowledge I attained just can't be replaced. In 2013 I graduated my Bachelor's degree in Nursing. It was in this course where I learned how to multitask, to teach, to become a leader that guides and motivates self and others, to conduct reporting's that are of the same level as professionals, to have a deep and understanding knowledge of the medical literature and its application in the real world, to be able to handle clients and give them the care that they deserve, and many more. I believe that whatever course is taken in college doesn't mean that it'll be the chosen future career. There is a higher possibility, of course, but the things that's learned in school can be applied mostly anywhere. It was also in college where my technical skills grew. I practically was the technician leader in all of the groups I was in. From formatting layouts, designing graphics and logos to correcting or fine tuning those annoying details to proofreading and editing the final paper, I did it all. I was able to hone my skills in Microsoft, we're friends now, I'm especially knowledgeable in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, and I'm also friends with Windows 7 up to 8.1. Just recently in 2014 I built my own computer. I basically bought all the parts, assembled them into a case, installed the operating system (Windows 8.1 Pro), updated the drivers, and installed other useful applications. Such as Microsoft Office, Adobe, Browsers, and other applications that fit my needs. Not only is building your own computer cheaper for what it is worth, but it also does better in terms of performance. Just to add, I also built my own computer desk that has 2 pull-outs. One is for the keyboard and the other one acts as a table. Graduating from a course that was taught in English and was mostly the language of communication, can really improve one's grammar and pronunciation, both verbally and non-verbally. Especially since it's a criteria for grading those written and verbal reports that you literally have to ace. Just to add, I've also had my fair share of transcribing medical information. Basically, I'm a type of person that can be considered a "Jack of all trades". But at the same time, if I put my mind to it, can be considerably competent in the things I do.

- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, or Canadian bacon, trimmed of fat and diced (1/2 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- 3 large eggs, (pasteurized, if desired)
- 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, or linguine
- 8 ounces broccolini, (2 1/2 cups) or broccoli rabe (4 cups), stem ends trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Put a large pot of water on to boil for cooking pasta. Also bring about 1 inch of water to a gentle simmer in the bottom of a double boiler (see Equipment Tip).
- Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto (or Canadian bacon) and cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
- Whisk eggs, broth and pepper in the top of the double boiler to combine. Set over the simmering water in the bottom of the double boiler and cook, whisking constantly in a slow, steady, figure-eight motion, until the sauce steams and thickens enough to coat a metal spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. The sauce may have a few small curdles. Remove the top pan from the heat and whisk the sauce rapidly so it does not continue to curdle.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Drop in broccolini (or broccoli rabe) and cook until the pasta is tender but firm, 4 to 6 minutes more. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the egg sauce, the prosciutto (or bacon) mixture and cheese; toss to coat well. Season with salt, if desired.

Heartwarming: Big Fat Quiz of the Year
- One year of BFQ had the guest star as Lola the cat, who was infamously thrown into a bin. When they played the clip, Jimmy Carr asked her owner to "shield Lola's eyes", and the comedians all reacted with shock at the clip, one of them saying in horror, "Why would you do that?"
- On the 2012 90's quiz, Jack Whitehall's unabashed look of joy when he realizes that the secret identity of the mystery guests were as two of the Teletubbies.
- During the 2009 edition of the show, Rob Brydon and Claudia Winkleman are set up as teammates, and decide to pretend that they're a newlywed couple. Later, after originally appearing reluctant to do his "Small Man in Trapped in a Box" routine, Rob immediately relents to it after Claudia (literally) prods him in a gentle fashion. Afterward, Claudia is pretty much beaming with pride.
Claudia: That's who I married.
- During the Quiz of the Noughties (00's), Jimmy Carr gently jokes around with the Davies-Carr children (of "Charlie bit my finger" internet fame).

Dennis Quaid's Wife Files for Divorce
Originally posted 03/09/2012 11:10AM
Dennis Quaid's wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, is ending their marriage.
According to court papers obtained by TMZ.com, Buffington-Quaid says she is filing for divorce because things have "become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."
In a statement released to Extra on Friday a rep for the actor said, "We can confirm that Kimberley Quaid has filed for divorce. Contrary to what has been reported, a satisfactory settlement is being worked out for both parties."
Hospital Announces Changes in the Wake of Quaid Mishap
Originally posted 12/05/2007 08:05AM
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center – the facility which treated Dennis Quaid's twins when they were mistakenly overdosed with Heparin – announced several changes to hospital policy Tuesday.
"Although this was a rare event, and attributable to human error, it is also an important opportunity for the entire institution to explore any and all ways we can further improve medication safety," the hospital's chief medical officer, Dr. Michael L. Langberg, said in the statement.
Dennis & Kimberly Quaid Sue Drug Company
Originally posted 12/04/2007 04:20PM
Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly have sued the manufacturer of the drug Heparin, according to court documents filed in Cook County, Ill.
The lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000 in damages, claims the Baxter Healthcare Corporation, makers of the anti-coagulant Heparin, failed to properly label vials of its product and that the 10-units-per-milliliter vial and the 10,000-units-per-milliliter are virtually identical.
Lawyer: Dennis Quaid's Twins Have Fully Recovered
Originally posted 12/04/2007 05:00PM
Dennis and Kimberly Quaid's twins have fully recovered and were recently discharged from the hospital, their lawyer Susan E. Loggans confirms to PEOPLE.
"The twins are back home," Loggans said of the newborns, Boone and Zoe. "Their condition is fantastic, they're smiling. Zoe looks like her mom, and Boone looks like his dad. They've fully recovered from the accident and it's doubtful they'll suffer long-term effects from the overdose."

"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there's no social function for it."
"Untitled (Water)" (1990)
"One very important element is the economy of means. I strongly believe in the power of a single idea. So the most difficult thing for me and, I think, for most artists is to clean up- to arrive at the essence. Most artworks today try to say thirty-seven things at the same time. I try exactly the contrary. When you reach that essential idea, it's extraordinary."
