|"Doctor Hoot", "Dr. Hoot", "Dr. Franz K Hootenhauten PHD"
|Pokémon Species
|Active (PC)
|1d 16h 9m
|Peck, Hypnosis, Reflect, Take Down
Doctor Hoot (aka Dr. Hoot, Dr. Franz K. Hootenhauten PHD, or HOOTHOOT) was a Hoothoot that spent a short time on AJ's team before being deposited into Bill's PC.
Personality (lore)Edit
While the good doctor wasn't in the party long to generate much lore based off his actions, some people view him as a wise medical doctor, serving the team as a medic to go along with the military theme. Others view him as the Pokémon equivalent of the Doctor from Doctor Who.
Also, some believe that in his time with Brian, who was a PIDGEY at the time in the Daycare Center, Dr. Hoot helped Brian get over his identity issues and evolve.
"Dr. Hoot" came from people viewing him as the team's medic. "Dr. Franz K Hootenhauten PHD" came from a short story, titled "The Dr. Hoot Files", a collaboration by reddit users 7ofDiamonds and vashvhexx. In the story he is a psychologist and join's AJ's team to study the madness inflicting the Pokémon trainer and its effects on the team members. It is possible that they came up with the idea for him be a psychologist due to the popularity of his nickname Dr. Hoot and the fact that he had hypnosis in his move list.
The spelling of his name as "Doctor Hoot" came from depictions of the Pokémon traveling in his own version of the TARDIS, with the Hoothoot wielding a sonic screwdriver and sporting a fez and a bowtie, inspired by the attire of the eleventh Doctor. The spelling of his name mimics how the title of the popular BBC show Doctor Who is spelt.
- He, along with Brian, are the subjects of the Church of the Helix Choir song "Doctor Hoot".

Rihanna Bloodied At Box Nightclub
Man Rihanna just seems to be catching it from all sides lately, this situation now takes place at "The Box," which is a night club out in London,England.
So apparently Rihanna was assaulted by a out-of-control fan that was overly anger stricken at Rihanna, and decided to sling a bottle of Lucozade at her from the audience which scraped her right knee.
After the bottle throwing incident, her bodyguard tried to go after the bottle thrower only to get injured worse than Rihanna in the process.
But had to take the trip, to the hospital for any physical wounds.
The insane fan made a remark towards Rihanna regarding Chris Brown, now why the fan should be concerned about her and Chris Brown I think really doesn't concern that person LOL but you know today's world and it's issues.
And the timing is strange also, it was just last week Rihanna was at the Grammy Awards hanging with Brown on their on and off again relationship. They were even sitting next to each other at the event, and they didn't seem to be not liking each other in any way so that pretty much sum it up about their courtship which still lives on.
I guess some people are upset at Rihanna for taking back Brown after all the stuff that transpired between the two, after all it was at one point that Rihanna couldn't stand being nowhere near Brown after he got into a physical tussle with her a while back.
But it is messed up for Rihanna, that seems to just get side-lined with problems in her relationship with Chris Brown.
You could even compare their relationship to the one like Ike and Tina Turner had LOL..
Which was physical and they seem to always be at each other's throats (Even Though Ike Was More Of The Aggressor Of Domestic Violence Toward Tina).
It was even at one point when Tina finally left Ike, he decided to share some comments of his stupidity, on how he treated Tina doing their 14 year marriage.
Ike Turner: "The problem is that there are two sides to every story and they only printed the bad side, I regret that I've screwed up my life, but I'm not ashamed o nothing I did."
he goes on.. "I took everything God gave me for granted: Tina, my family my career. When me and Tina broke up, man I panicked. I got so insecure. I thought the public would reject me without her. I knew I was in real bad shape, but I couldn't stop."
Ike Turner released those statements to "The Times" back in 91′.
So thinking about Rihanna and Chris Brown if they were to really get serious and take their relationship to the next level, it kinda makes you wonder.. Will it turn out ok and they actually stay together for the long-run, or will it just turn out tobe another "Ike and Tina" episode that will lead to an ultimate break up for good?
No one can answer that no time soon.. But time is waiting on the response, and it will be the first to know before any body else LOL.

As I said over here:
I have taught television, film, and new media courses since 1977—at Northwestern University, the University of Alabama and the University of Arizona. To support my television courses, I wrote the textbook, Television: Visual Storytelling and Screen Culture—now in its fifth edition (formerly titled, Television: Critical Methods and Applications).
My previous book project, Television Style, was published by Routledge in December 2009.
I've edited one anthology, Star Texts: Image and Performance in Film and Television, and published articles on Mad Men, ER, Roseanne, Miami Vice, Imitation of Life, soap opera, the sitcom, and other topics in journals such as Cinema Journal, Journal of Film and Video, and Screen.
For some time now I've been active in online educational resources for film/TV studies. I created Screen-L and ScreenSite, two of the earliest Internet resources for film/TV teachers/students; and I served as the Society for Cinema and Media Studies' first information technology officer. (Read more about online and media projects.)
In addition to my duties as a film/TV educator, I also host a weekly radio program, All Things Acoustic, on Alabama Public Radio.

The Effort Effect
From the minds of Stanford: a thirty-year study on static and dynamic mindsets.
Read over the link, and then come back. I'll wait.
Done? Good. Now, for those with kids, think about your kids. For everyone, think about your co-workers. Can you see where they fit in relation to this study?
Emma seems to be a pretty classic case of stasis. My mom says I was too, but I don't think I was, certainly not to the extent that Emma is. Emma complains of boredom, and then shuns every suggestion given to her since she can't excel at it. I don't remember being that bored. 🙂
Sara's a different nugget to crack with regards to this study. I'll have to think a bit more about her (though commenters who know her are welcome to jump in with thoughts).
Deep, deep thoughts.

Fifty years after the first moon landing, it's still hard to place the importance of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's initial lunar footsteps in the context of human history. There's the feat itself, but also the centuries of scientific discoveries that made spaceflight possible.
Small Steps, Giant Leaps: Apollo 11 at Fifty, an exhibit in Houghton Library open from April 29 to August 3, displays not only artifacts used during the Apollo 11 mission, but also seminal texts from Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, who paved the way for NASA's mission centuries in advance. "I think there are a lot of places that could tell one part of this story or the other," said curator John Overholt, "but not too many that can do both."
The exhibit is split into two sides, one drawing from Houghton's collection, and the other from the collection of an anonymous Harvard alumnus with an extensive set of artifacts from the history of human flight, from the Wright Brothers through the Apollo 11 mission.
The materials are displayed roughly chronologically, starting with a first edition of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, his foundational work on the heliocentric theory published just before his death. (Read "The Copernicus Quest," on a Harvard scholar's search for Copernicus manuscripts.) The idea that the Earth was not at the center of the universe was so controversial that Copernicus's editor, Andreas Osiander, inserted an unauthorized preface suggesting the work was meant purely as a hypothetical exercise.
It sits alongside Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which defines the fundamental laws of gravity and mechanics that, hundreds of years later, enabled spaceflight calculations. Two displays over, Galileo Galilei's Sidereus Nuncius shows the first illustration of the moon as seen through a telescope, debunking the idea of the satellite as a heavenly realm.
The Houghton side of the exhibit grounds the viewer in both scientific history and pop-culture visions of the moon. Amazing Stories, a science-fiction "pulp" from 1929, shows two astronauts in bright-red suits jumping around a lunar setting. In another book, published in 1859, Richard Adams Locke debunks the myth that the moon has a vast population of human beings.
The loaned materials in the other side of the exhibit focus on flight and spaceflight itself. Original publications of the Wright Brothers are followed by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's calculations of the minimum speed required to leave Earth's orbit, and the first published images of the planet from space.
The selections from Apollo 11 include Armstrong's iconic photograph of Aldrin taken on the moon and The New York Times front page from the day after the moon landing, both signed by all three Apollo 11 astronauts (including Michael Collins, in the command module), but some of the exhibit's most striking material is its least flashy and most intimate.
A detailed engineering turnover log—describing the day-to-day adjustments for the LM-5 Eagle, the mission's lunar module—largely resists non-engineer readers. But on the day of the launch, the log concludes with a triumphant, bright-red note: "LAUNCHED APOLLO 11 LM 5 TO THE MOON."
Another display includes a sketch of the lunar module that Armstrong used to help explain the upcoming mission to his father, drawn in purple on a loose-leaf sheet of paper. "I just think that's an amazingly intimate connection to the mission," Overholt said. "To have something Neil Armstrong made for his dad." Below the iconic Times front page is the front page of the Wapakoneta Daily News—Armstrong's hometown paper. "NEIL STEPS ON THE MOON," it says. The picture is not of the astronaut himself, but rather of his parents outside their home, beaming with joy.
It's easy to view the moon landing as a larger-than-life occurrence, far removed from everyday life. But the greatest strength of the Houghton exhibit is that it makes Apollo 11 and the centuries of science before it seem personal. It brings the moon a little bit down to Earth.

Under gray skies and a threat of rain, the 70th Annual Artists and Writers Celebrity Softball Game managed to go the full nine innings in Herrick Park in East Hampton on Saturday, August 18. In a close and exciting match, the Writers pulled ahead to beat the Artists by a 12–8 score. Great efforts by both sides entertained spectators and included some memorable diving efforts to catch fly balls.
The full day of events began with a softball clinic for future artists and writers, with a home run challenge and batting practice to allow the players to warm up for the game. The player roster was filled with celebrities on both sides and included names such as Lonnie Quinn on the Artists side and Carl Bernstein on the opposing Writers team.
This year's game was played to benefit four local charities: East End Hospice, the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, Phoenix House Academy of Long Island, and The Retreat. "Proceeds from admission tickets, food sales, and merchandise like t-shirts and hats, as well as any donations received during the event will all go to the four charities," said Pauline Nicholls, one of the main organizers of the event this year.
The Artists and Writers game began in 1948 as a picnic on Sundays. Everyone brought food and drinks and they met at artist Wilfrid Zogbaum's home to play softball in his front yard. Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Philip Pavia, Jackson Pollock, and Joan Mitchell were some of the first artists to participate. The picnics gave them a chance to discuss their work. Many had moved to Springs for its affordability and the prospect of being able to have larger studios.
According to Nicholls, "The game turned into a fundraising event during the civil rights movement when there was an artist arrested 70 years ago for campaigning for civil rights. They didn't have enough money to bail their friend out of jail, so they started the game to raise the bail out money. There lies the origins of the game and Leif Hope has been organizing it for more than 50 years. He's an amazing 92-year-old gentleman. Leif Hope and Ronnette Riley are the co-captains of the Artists team. Riley was the first woman to ever build a skyscraper in New York City."
Syndicated Daily News sports writer Mike Lupica, and The New Yorker writer and author, Ken Auletta, were the co-captains for the Writers team.

Admit it! Using USB Cable every time you need to transfer Music, Videos, APK files or any file to your Android is very annoying and boring task.
To fix this problem, We can transfer those files wirelessly to your Android (not talking about Dropbox Sync). We will be using a Windows application named Fast Push. It is a Windows desktop software developed by a XDA member pesiran. Unlike other solutions, This is not an Android application.
Using Fast Push is super simple, but setting up the application for first time can be a little confusing. I will cover you on that with this tutorial.
Using Fast Push to Transfer Files and Text Wirelessly to Android.
Step 1. Fast Push uses ADB over Wifi which can be enabled on both Rooted and Non-Rooted devices. But the process is quicker on a Rooted device. You can read my guide on how to enable and disable ADB over Wifi on both Rooted and Non Rooted Android devices.
Step 2. Download Fast Push from the developer's XDA thread > Extract it > Open FastPush.exe. On your first start the software will ask you if you want to integrate it into context menu, Accept it.
Step 3. First Tick on Auto Connect & Kill ADB-Server on exit then fill in your Android's IP address that you got while enabling ADB over Wifi and the port number that you used there (5555).
Step 4. Click on Load Devices > Select your device from the list > Connect.
Now you are all set to transfer files to your Android wirelessly.
To send any file to your Android wirelessly, Right click on the file on your PC > FastPush > Choose / Select from Favorites. Then select the folder where you want to copy the file to on your Android's storage.
You can set some frequently used folders on your Android as Favorites in Fast Push. This can be done by visiting the Favorites Tab on Fast Push > Add > Choose the folder > Select.
To send some text to your Android (type the text on Android's screen like in WhatsApp, SMS etc), To send some text to your Android's Clipboard or to retrieve your Android's clipboard text you can visit the Input Tab on Fast Push. This feature can be used cleverly to send URLs to Android browser.
Visit the Preferences Tab for more settings.
While testing the software, It took a minute or two to get to the actual file transfer speed. So don't get frustrated at the 10 or 20kbps speeds that you get initially.
Thanks to Pesiran for creating this wonderful software. Thank him on the XDA Thread. Also you can find Video Tutorials on the thread.

Flying Food for Thought for the Insurance IndustryPosted
How often do we see a flying car? If "never" is your answer you are correct – but only for the next year or so. Terrafugia, founded by MIT-trained aeronautical engineers and MBAs, has developed a revolutionary new dual-purpose vehicle- The Transition® Roadable Aircraft.
"When I first heard of this, I envisioned a really cool, cutting-edge vehicle that could literally lift me out of a traffic jam and allow me to fly over the hapless motorists below", reports Ara C. Trembly in a recent Insurance Networking News (INN) article.
Unfortunately this high-flying dream is not yet a reality. Although the Transition® is street-legal and fits in a standard household garage, it must be flown by a licensed pilot and take off from a public use general aviation airport with 2,500 feet of roadway (a common requirement of private aircraft operation). It's marketed to pilots as a way to "streamline [the] flying experience with the revolutionary integration of personal land and air travel".
Dashed hopes of aviating out of traffic jams aside, spare a thought to the implications this vehicle may have on the insurance industry. Although breaking, 'The Transition' could put insurers in a tricky position. Ara C. Trembly says in the same article in INN:
So what's an auto insurer to do when owners start besieging the gecko for rates on this vehicle? Does this mean one has to buy both aviation and auto insurance? Should one insurance be cheaper, since the vehicle doesn't spend all of its time on the road, or in the air? And which company do you call if the vehicle is damaged, say, on landing? Was it a car when it got crunched, or was it a plane?
Fortunately, insurance companies have a couple of years to figure this out.

Fruitfulness His Highest Value
Jesus tells three hard-hitting stories bearing on fruitfulness in Matthew 21.
One, the Parable of the Vineyard. This is where the renters beat and killed servants, then killed the son of the landowner so they would, so they thought, have the entire inheritance. Finally, the land owner returns. At the end of the dialogue Jesus informs that the Kingdom of God will be given to those who produce its fruit.
Two, the Parable of the Two Sons. One rebels, but in the end is obedient. The other agrees to serve, but does not. The religious elders condemn themselves by judging that the first son did the right thing. It sinks in that Jesus puts the elders in the second category. However, between the lines it is clear that Jesus would prefer followers who will both agree to serve and indeed serve to produce fruit.
Three, the Parable of the Fig Tree. Jesus is hungry and passes by a fig tree that has no fruit. He has no patience with that and tells the fig tree it will be forever fruitless. It withers on the spot. It is clear that Jesus has no patience with fruitlessness. His highest value for His followers is fruitfulness. Perhaps it is this fraction of fruitful people whom he comments are on the narrow path. All others on the wide, more traveled path, are headed for profound disappointment.
Where are you on the spectrum of Kingdom fruitfulness? What are others saying about you? What will Jesus say about you? Note that Jesus is the judge. One way to be fruitful is to be engaged in mission. Sign up or login as a fruitful next step.

|Michael Jennings
Jennings has had to bide his time for another shot at the British title after seeing his proposed clash with Kell Brook postponed four times! Three times Brook withdrew through injury, then a knuckle problem for Jennings prevented him from taking the rearranged fight in March.
But Brook's decision to vacate the title, has seen the British Boxing Board of Control install Jennings as the number one contender with O'Donnell his foe.
It will be Jennings first title fight since his fifth-round knockout by Miguel Cotto for the vacant WBO belt in February last year.
O'Donnell was a controversial winner over Watson last year when winning the Commonwealth title on a much-disputed split decision.
Jennings, 32, runs his own security company and plays the drums in local band The Shoks, when he isn't boxing, can't wait to swap drum sticks for gloves and get back in the ring and back on the title trail, more than 12 months in the shadows since the world title loss to Cotto.
His clash with O'Donnell will be his first 12-rounder since stepping out at Madison Square Garden, his last two fights since then were low key affairs, a fourth round Ko over Willie Thompson and a points victory over eight rounds against Hungarian Laszlo Komjath.
British Boxers caught up with Chorley fighter Jennings this week to talk about his 3rd July clash with O' Donnell for the Lonsdale belt.
Michael we haven't seen you in the ring since last October a Komjathi, will the time out of the ring and the kell Brooke postponements effect you in any way?
It's been frustrating, I kept getting asked when I'd be fighting again, Kell has pulled out and then I had to pull out of the fight in March when I injured my hand, and since then I've just been waiting. I'm not getting any younger. I want to be fighting for titles now. But I'm always in the gym, I'm not one of those fighters who has a fight and then a month off, I'll have a week off and then I'm back in the gym. Ive been training now for the last 3 weeks and with the McDonnell fight 6 weeks away, it will be like a 9 week training camp, and I didn't need that, but the extra time will allow me to get the weight down and keep sharp, i will step it up now and get in fight mode.
|John O' Donnell
John O' Donnell is a good fighter, I thought he was lucky getting a decision over Craig Watson though, I did think Watson won that fight for the Commonwealth, He is a tricky southpaw, tall and rangy, and it could be a tough fight for me, but il be ready for him.
Was it disappointing not getting the fight with Kell Brook to prove yourself the best welterweight in Britain, its the fight the fans wanted to see?
Yeah it has been, I think its like the 4th time now its been called off, he pulled out 3 times and then I pulled out because Id injured my knuckle, it is a sickner because that's the fight I think everybody wanted to see, but what can you do, I can only fight who is put in front of me.
When the Brook fight was announced last time, within a few hours the websites were full of peoples comments on the fight and there was a lot of talk about it, so that is a fight that people do want to see, and I'm sure it will happen, it'll come off.
|Jennings takes on Cotto
I was watching Cotto before I actually fought him and admiring him as a boxer, I mean when I boxed him he was still one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, but I went into that fight I wouldn't say without any pressure, because everybody thought I was going to get knocked out anyway, so I did want to prove everyone wrong in that sense, and I did go into that fight with no doubt that I was going to win it, because I go into all my fights like that, the day I start taking fights for the money I'll pack up, I do it for the love of the sport, and the promoters can take the piss sometimes because they know most boxers will fight anyway, it is more of a pride thing with me, I want to win! and to get a pay cheque at the end of it is a bonus.
Has fighting Cotto in Madison Square Gardens helped you become a better boxer?
Yeah, I have always been a positive fighter, but I boxed one of the best in the world in Cotto, in probably the best boxing arena in the world, in the main hall of the garden, so no other fight for me could have been as daunting for me as that one, so Ive got that experience which not alot of other British fighters have, I know Amir Khan boxed at the Garden against Malignaggi the other week, but even that wasn't in the main arena. I had to box in the main ring in front of thousands of Puerto Rican's hating me, I don't think it gets as daunting as that.
Miguel Cotto vs. Michael Jennings fight video, Michael took on Miguel Cotto for the WBO welterweight title, in front of 5000 baying Puerto Ricans, in the main hall at Madison Square Garden. Cotto dominated the bout, dropping Jennings twice in the fourth round with merciless body shots and once in the fifth before the fight was stopped 2:36 of the fifth round
It was nice to see you come in the ring with the famous Brian Hughes "Collyhurst and Moston Lads Club" on the back of your gown, you are from Chorley, but don't the Manchester fans see you as something of an adopted Mancunian?
Well Ive trained at Brian's for the last 12 years, im up in Manchester every single day, and as well as Chorley that's where I fight for, Moston gym is where I train out of, when I walk around Manchester, I probably get more people coming up to me talking about boxing more than I do in Chorley and I class myself as a Manchester fighter (Chorley is 20 minutes from Manchester)
What influence has spending 12 years with Brian Hughes (MBE) had on your boxing career and life?
Brian has been doing this now for over 50 years, you cant just pick that experience up, or buy it, you've got to go through it, Brian passes it onto you, tactics defence all that, what he gives me I couldn't get it anywhere else. Brian is always cool, unless somethings going drastically wrong in a fight, then he will wake you up a bit, and once he does that then you know, shit id better wake up, because you don't usually see Brian like that, so he knows how to get the best from you. Even as a person, he is a top guy a father figure.
Pat Barrett former British and European light-welterweight champion and another of Brian's Manchester prodigies, also now trains you at the Moston gym as Brian's right hand man?
Yeah Pats a top trainer, he's had all the experience from Brian when he started, plus he's been in championship fights, British title fights, European title fights, world title fights, so he passes all that knowledge onto the other lads.
Collyhurst & Moston Boxing Gym video by Ballyupnorth
Brian Hughes and Pat Barrett training the stable of fighters at the famous gym above the Co-op in the inner city suburb of Moston, Manchester, where Michael has trained for 12 years, includes Mike Jackson, Sam Betts, Michael Jennings, Matthew Hall, Thomas McDonagh, Scott Quigg, Rhys Roberts, Robbie Reed, Terry McDermott, Ray Jennings, Paulino DeSilva, Ahmed
Which fights do you want if you re-claim the British title against McDonnell?
Well if I win it and defend it one more time, that makes the Lonsdale belt mine to keep, because I've already had it before and defended it, but to be honest with you I'm not really mivered who I fight, so long as the fights I'm having are bettering me, and they are not going backward fights, then I'm happy and il fight anyone

Yan Baczkowski quits as head of Long Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Sports Commission after eight months
Yan Baczkowski said Monday he had resigned as president of the Long Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Sports Commission after less than eight months on the job for what he termed personal reasons.
The former Colorado tourism official was named in late August to replace Moke McGowan, who retired after 10 years on the job.
Baczkowski had been director of tourism for Snowmass Village, Colorado, near Aspen, according to his LinkedIn profile. He resigned from that post in February of last year after seven months on the job, according to a Colorado newspaper article.
He said in a telephone interview Monday evening that he resigned on Friday, effective in 30 days. He said it was a "mutual decision" by him and the group's board of directors, adding "It was just for personal reasons that it was time for me to move on."
Board members couldn't immediately be reached Monday night.

Gallery 1261 presents
May 28 – June 20, 2015
Introducing David Grossmann and Ulrich Glieter, in a show of new works of naturalism motivated by land, politics and poetry
DENVER, CO. Gallery 1261 is pleased to announce a two man show featuring Ulrich Gleiter and David Grossmann, two fresh, strong voices in naturalism and landscape working half a world apart—Grossmann in southern Colorado, Gleiter in Russia. Show opens May 1, and both artists will be in attendance at the reception, from 5:00PM to 8:00PM.
Beyond the vast distance in geography, these artists also approach the canvas in vastly different manners. Grossmann, with thin, exact brushwork draws upon his subtle, quite style to express emotion and a sense of atmosphere and breath beyond the canvas's two dimensions. There is a reverence to his painting, a misty, dreamlike quality that pulls in and washes over the viewer giving one the sense of falling into a deep meditation on nature, as if standing next to Annie Dillard on Tinker Creek, quietly observing and recording.
Ulrich Gleiter's work, on the other hand, is a cacophony of thick, messy brushwork, so abstracted that you are forced back from it to take in even the smallest canvases. And yet the staccato vibrancy of paint—color, light, design and all the rest—sing, no, shout to viewers to come closer, look for the many strands of color in the trunk of a tree or a hillside or dry creek bed.
We asked the artists about their recent work and what we can expect.
1261: What are you working on for this show? Do you have a theme?
Grossmann: These are all recent paintings with several recurring themes that tie them together. My hope is that each of my paintings would be a reminder of the peace and beauty that surround us. Balance and simplicity are two ideas that have influenced these particular paintings.
Gleiter: Well, for the most part, the pieces I have in the show are landscapes mostly painted on travels throughout Europe—the Urals, the Volga River in Russia and the Republic of Georgia.
1261: What's changed in your work these days?
Gleiter: Painting landscapes did take on new meaning to me. Before, painting scenery was mostly about seeing beauty in a landscape but that changed in 2014. Allow me elaborate: Politically, early 2014 had been a watershed for Europe. But the light-minded years following the unification of the continent after the Cold War are over. All of a sudden and abruptly, a new, somber atmosphere became all-present once again. In particular for me, a foreigner living a good portion of the year in Russia, those months brought their own certain challenges. On one hand, I was caught by a feeling that did not allow me to proceed with painting as before: formalism appeared not valid anymore. Then there was the omnipresence of political ambitions, from all sides around me, justified or less justified, that was trickling into the lives of people as never before, at least for my age so far.
Nowadays, watching news on television in Russia has become unbearable. This now makes me get out in the early mornings and experience sunrises, sunsets and nature. So, that brought me an enormous gift. I felt as being in nature made me forget all those man-made intrigues. And it puts them into perspective: the thought that so many politics have taken people and whole countries hostage. Politics come and go, whereas nature remains. That impressed me more than ever and gives me hope for the better. Frankly, it opened my eye again for the meaning of painting landscapes. I see my paintings as my diary.
1261: Have you have any new insights that have come out of working towards this show?
Grossmann: Lately I have been giving myself more freedom to experiment with composition and with surface texture. I build my studio paintings in a long process of glazing and layering that allows me to discover intriguing surface textures and subtle transitions of color. My compositions are often experiments in balance, especially in my paintings that have large, open areas that edge toward minimalism. Balance comes with saying just enough to capture the essence. It is like writing poetry, finding just the right words to light up a reader's imagination. My paintings are more about emotions than about the landscape itself. There are two large paintings in this show, which is a new area for me to explore. Both of these paintings are an attempt to capture the feeling of being inside of the forest, of being surrounded by trees, caught up in their rhythms and their silence.
Gleiter: Well, I think that I did create the paintings for this show with new insights. I feel they are more mature than earlier pieces. Then, the biggest result from the work that I have done so far is that it leaves me with the wish to do more and keep painting.
1261: How do you each see yourself fitting in this show?
Grossmann: Our very different ways of approaching painting will make this show a dynamic experience. It will be unusual and exciting.
Gleiter: What struck me in David's work is the clarity of his compositions, how well he is coming from an idea about his future painting and how calmly, nevertheless full with emotions and feelings, he brings his observations onto the canvas. I am really looking forward to see his paintings in person at the show. David's way of painting, obviously calmer than my impressionistic manner, will provide a good match, I am sure.

After the Burn
This little painting is of a wonderful, mountain peak trail, that our family visits as often as we can. The trail meanders through a section of burned out forest. The burn happened over 45 years ago but the trees still stand. In the few short years that we have been hiking this trail, since the mid 90s, we have seen a transformation….as if by magic.
The trees were originally black when we first started coming. Then, they turned to a dull grey and over the years seem to have been burnished by the elements and now have a distinct silver patina. If you hike through the area in the mid afternoon, on a crisp fall day, the trees appear to be blue. Actually much more blue than I have painted them here. To add to the magic, the fall brings with it, a colourful forest floor. What more could a painter ask for?
This all brings to mind the old belief in silver linings. Even the most catastrophic of events, ones that hurt our hearts to the core, can facilitate a magical transformation that would not otherwise be there to experience. Out of the ashes the phoenix rises and all of that. If we can just make it through the pain…..the gain can be immeasurable.
This little painting, an 10×8″ oil, can be bid on at the auction site dailypaintworks.com. Just enter my name in the search bar and up my gallery will come :)) Enjoy!

1. Re: Capsense design hangs I2Cpushekm_21 Nov 15, 2009 8:36 PM (in response to userc_45101)Hello,
This problem should not have occurred because once the I2C UM is placed it will be listed in the devices provided interrupts are enabled. Since, you are using System Level Design, so this thing is taken care of automatically. Please zip your project and attach it here.
2. Re: Capsense design hangs I2Cuserc_45102 Jan 3, 2010 10:23 PM (in response to userc_45101)Hi All,
I'm having a similar problem,
Im using the 24894 with I2C on the ISSP pins,
Capsense with 16 buttons works fine transmitting the 16 raw values (12bit) if im using the CSD with PRS8 as clock source.
But if i use PRS16 or PRS8 with Prescaler the I2C bus never communicates.
With a demo board I ran into the same problem (well I think it was) a while back with the Bootloader I2C UM, I remember changing the I2C port to the other one (forget which one) and it worked.
I have tried starting from scratch but no luck.
I want more Resolution...
3. Re: Capsense design hangs I2Cpushekm_21 Jan 3, 2010 10:57 PM (in response to userc_45101)Glen,
I'll provide you an example project and let me know if that helps or not
4. Re: Capsense design hangs I2Cuserc_45102 Jan 3, 2010 11:02 PM (in response to userc_45101)Thanks,
In addition, I've just noted that changing the Module from PRS8 (working fine) to PRS16 (I2C dies) and back to PRS8 does not revive the I2C...
I'm not changing anything else but the Module using Right Click on UM -> Selection Options...
5. Re: Capsense design hangs I2Cuserc_45102 Jan 3, 2010 11:17 PM (in response to userc_45101)Woo Hoo!
Found it,
I ran a file differences check and notices Port 1 (where my I2C is was being set up differenly after changing the CSD Module)
The PSoC Designer still had the port on the screen labled, but in the properties it had reverted back to default, so my I2C SCL pin was not working at all.
So i changed the EzI2C Pin parameter to the other port, then back again, and it fixed the problem.

First published in 1971, this reissue considers the main aspects of foreign aid to developing countries in terms of economic concepts and principles. The author gives an economic definition of aid and considers the motives for giving aid and the principles on which it may be allocated. He looks at the effect on the economic growth of developing countries of both the aid given and the need to repay the debt, and the effect on trade patterns and resource allocation of tying aid to one particular project, or one source of goods.
While economic analysis is only a first step in providing a basis for policy decisions on foreign aid, Dr. Healey shows that many issues can be clarified by looking at them from the economists' point of view.
