Egypt Brotherhood leader denies 'terrorism' claim
CAIRO >> A fugitive leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has denied accusations his group is committing acts of "terrorism" following the coup that toppled the country's president.
Mohammed el-Beltagy's address, which aired Tuesday, comes as the Brotherhood plans new demonstrations to defy a crippling security crackdown that has put most of its senior and mid-level leadership behind bars. Among those detained Monday was 25-year-old U.S. citizen Mohamed Soltan, the son of outspoken Brotherhood figure Salah Soltan, family and security officials said.
El-Beltagy, a former lawmaker, is wanted himself on accusations of inciting violence and has been hunted by authorities for nearly three weeks. In a videotaped message aired by Al-Jazeera Mubasher Misr, an affiliate of the Qatar-based broadcaster, el-Beltagy said that authorities were trying to turn a "political crisis" into a security problem by accusing his group of orchestrating a terrorism campaign.
Egypt's media, almost uniformly anti-Brotherhood after the closure of Islamist television stations, have described the crackdown as a "war against terrorism."
"Don't be fooled by these lies and deception that aim to label us with terrorism, violence, (and) killing ... at a time when the hands of the coup regime are drowned in blood," el-Beltagy said.
El-Beltagy went into hiding earlier this month after authorities violently broke up protest encampments held by supporters of President Mohammed Morsi, overthrown July 3 by the military after days of mass protests against him. Hundreds died in the crackdown, including el-Beltagy's daughter.
In retaliation, Morsi supporters attacked police stations, government buildings and churches. Hundreds of Brotherhood members, the group's top leaders and Morsi supporters were arrested, many accused of orchestrating and taking part in violence.
Airport authorities also said Tuesday that well-known Egyptian cleric Yousef al-Qaradawi, based in Qatar, would be arrested upon entry to the country. The elderly sheik is very close to the Brotherhood and has spoken out vehemently against the country's military chief who led the coup.
The current bout of violence is the worst in Egypt's 2 1/2 years of turbulent transition. More than 1,000 people, mostly Morsi supporters, were killed in the raids and other violence since mid-August. Violence has waned in the past few days.
An official in the Interior Ministry said Tuesday that 106 security personnel have been killed since Aug. 14 and that more than 900 have been wounded in violence, including soldiers and policemen. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
In the latest round-up of Brotherhood supporters, authorities said they arrested Soltan and three others at the pro-Brotherhood Rassd Network News service's office in the Cairo suburb of Maadi. Also detained in the group arrest was the manager of the news service, a broadcaster and one of Rassd's founders.
Soltan, a graduate of Ohio State University, was active online in support of the Brotherhood and had posted a picture of his arm after he was shot during the security raid on the sit-ins two weeks ago. His father is wanted by police on charges he incited violence during speeches.
Police said the group was in possession of plans to spread chaos and violence in the country by inciting splits among the ranks of the army and police and through acts of civil disobedience. Police officials said they confiscated a Thuraya satellite phone, six mobile phones, three laptops and a camera from the group.
A Facebook group managed by his friends and family called "Free Soltan" described him as a "pro-democracy activist." The administrators of the page say they do not know where he is being held and that they are contacting members of Congress and Senate to push for his release.
"He is a peaceful person and strongly committed to non-violence and social justice," a posting on the Facebook page said.
Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo could not be immediately reached for comment.
The pro-Morsi camp is planning large new rallies on Friday to press for its demands, including justice for those killed and the "leaders of the coup" be put on trial. Many are still calling for Morsi's return to power, though a Brotherhood official told The Associated Press on Monday that the group is open for talks only after "confidence-building measures" from the new government.
The size of their rallies has dramatically shrunk in the past week. Islamist groups allied to the Brotherhood have proposed a truce between the interim government and the Morsi camp in which the authorities would end the crackdown and the media campaign in exchange for an end to street protests. Scattered protests continued across the country Tuesday.
Meanwhile Tuesday, an intelligence official said masked militants and snipers attacked the headquarters of military intelligence in the Sinai border town of Rafah. The official said troops responded and injured two of unidentified assailants.
In a separate attack, a stolen ambulance laden with explosives exploded when army troops opened fire at it before it hit a police station in the town of Sheikh Zuweyid near border with Gaza, the official said. The remains of the three attackers' bodies were found in the wreckage, he said.
The official spoke anonymously in line with regulations.
Associated Press writer Ashraf Sweilam in el-Arish, Egypt, contributed to this report.

Although some might say that the Porsche 914 was nothing but a bastard child made to replace the aging Porsche 912 and the VW Karmann-Ghia, we simply love its design, and the whole idea of a Porsche two-seater made for the masses... even if it only had 80 horsepower.
While we anxiously wait for the forever soon-to-come sub-Boxster to present itself, let's look at something that was even a better idea: the Porsche 914 hatchback made by the French in 1969.
The development of this rare beast went rather fast in the late sixties. Dr. Ferry Porsche's cheap sports car went on sale in 1969 and this concept was ready in time for the 1970 Paris Motor Show. Work for the car started at Brissonneau & Lotz, a company which is making industrial cranes these days instead of weird prototypes for the automotive industry. One of the guys on their payroll was Paul Bracq, who put down his mark by designing the BMW Turbo to celebrate the 1972 Summert Olympics in Munich. Before that, he worked for Mercedes-Benz, creating classics such as the Mercedes 600.
Another guy working there was Jacques Cooper. Born as Jack Cooper in the UK in 1931, he learned a few things about locomotive design under the wings of Raymond Loewy, the guy who was also responsible for the timeless Studebaker Avanti.
Cooper did some sketches of a Porsche 914 hatchback, and got the green-light after showing them to the heads of Brissonneau & Lotz. They were planning to use the more powerful six-cylinder version of the base for the new car, as 120 horsepower sounds better in French as well. For a second, it seemed like sudden financial difficulties would end the project before it could even start, but instead of giving up, Cooper took his design to Henry Heuliez.
You might know Heuliez as the producer of the Peugeot 206 CC's roof mechanism, or the Opel Tigra Twin Top. They are in the specialist coach building business since 1920. With their help, Cooper finished his 914/6 Murène Concept in time for the Paris Motor Show in October. Whatever the crowds in Paris might have felt, Porsche wasn't interested in putting the French version into production.
Cooper went on to design the French supertrain TGV and his ideas led to the distinctive nose shape we all know, which he found easier to come up with than the train's interior.
The only Murène prototype was first painted two-tone yellow, then repainted to orange in 1971. After the show, it was put into storage, only to be restored by Heuliez Historic recently to be put up for auction at the 2012 Le Mans Classic. It sold for about $55,000.
Next time you find yourself thinking about turning your Boxster into a Lamboxster, maybe consider a hatchback?

We employ Licensed, Certified Water Damage Specialists & Mold Remediators. Our objective is to lead our industry by staying on the cutting edge of science, technology, and technique.
Flourtown Water Damage Categories and Remediation
It is important to understand the difference between each type of water damage incident as they require different procedures in order to maintain the integrity of your indoor environment. Inappropriate water damage cleanup can lead to serious health risks for everyone exposed to the area.
Clean water (category 1) damage poses the lowest immediate risk. However, the water damage will need to be addressed within 24 hours of the initial incident or it may be necessary to remove the materials that were affected by the water. Many contractors in the Flourtown area may tell you that ripping apart your home is necessary, as they may not have the right equipment or expertise to dry those materials and may be seeking a larger payment! Avoid hiring water damage contractors that do not provide "top down drying" or "direct heat drying." These two water damage repair methods can dry your flooring, cabinetry, other finishes, and structures without the need for demolition or flooring removal.
Grey water damage remediation (category 2) is a water cleanup activity that can be more extensive. Any water that potentially contains micro-organisms, contaminates or has been stagnant for more than 48 hours is classified as grey water. In Flourtown PA, water damage cleanup for grey water is more invasive than it is for clean water damage. Once the water cleanup has been performed, selective removal of water damaged materials needs to be address, such as textiles, drywall, insulation, and other soft goods. The area then needs to be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before the drying process begins.
The last type of water damage experienced is black water damage (category 3). This form of damage can occur due to a sewer back up as well as from rain water that has passed through soil or flood water from lakes or rivers. Unfortunately, if you are experiencing black water damage in your Flourtown home, there is a great deal of work necessary to completely repair the affected areas. It is necessary to removal all materials affected by black water other than framing, which can be affectively treated, clean, and if necessary sealed. Additional all textiles such as carpet, upholstered furniture, lines, etc need to be removed and disposed.
In an age of suspicion and distrust, Quantum restoration is truly refreshing. I found Joel to be always courteous, professional polite and trustworthy. I handed him my house key and he took it from there. I appreciated his attention to detail to the extent that he made friends with my cat (who is very much a member of the family). The workmanship was exceptional and the workers were respectful courteous trustworthy and clean. The finished project is simply amazing. In short, I can't imagine using anyone else for work in my home!
The extra effort that QRS put forth in dealing and negotiating with my insurance adjuster and other contracts was well above what I would have expected. After my initial call, they came out quoted the job and did the work all in a matter of days. I was extremely pleased. Would not hesitate to recommend QRS to others.
I had always heard that dealing with contractors is not easy until I met Joel and Mike from QRS. I can not find words to explain how wonderful professional, fast, clean and extremely fair these guys are. The work was done at my investment property that is about one hour drive from my residence. I didn't have to be there every day or even once to see how they are working or what was the progress. They were on schedule and finished the work without needing any supervision. will recommend QRS to all of my friends and family because I honesty believe that they are the best.
Joel was very responsive and flexible. The team that worked on my house was great. They were very skilled and well trained. They left the space extremely clean. Even our insurance adjuster was impressed. He said he doesn't usually see work so neatly done.
They did an awesome job. Very meticulous. They made sure it was done properly. They even took all the stuff out of my basement before they started the work. One company told me I had to do it all myself before they did anything. Definitely would recommend them. Good job guys
In my dealings with many contractors, I find Joel and Mike among the most trustworthy of them. These guys are very hard-working, methodical and efficient. They took care of everything, including moving furniture around and putting things back in order when the job was completed. A very neat job!

President of Serbia visits Diocese of Valjevo on the feast-day of Saint Nikolaj of Serbia
Upon the invitation of His Grace Bishop Milutin of Valjevo, on the feast-day of Saint Bishop Nikolaj (Velimirovic), President of Serbia Mr. Tomislav Nikolic participated in the Liturgy at the Lelic monastery and later on visited the nearby monastery of Celije.
That was the first visit of the current Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic to the Diocese of Valjevo. At the Liturgy he read the Creed and Lord's prayer, received Holy Communion and attended the cutting of slava cake at the Lelic monastery, in honour of the feast-day of St. Nikolaj of Serbia. Their Graces Bishops Milutin of Valjevo and Atanasije of Bihac-Petrovac officiated the Divine Liturgy.
Priests and monks from dioceses of Belgrade-Karlovac, Montenegro and the Littoral, Bihac-Petrovac, Valjevo, Sabac and Canada concelebrated at the Liturgy.
On behalf of the Diocese of Valjevo, Bishop Milutin awarded President Nikolic with the Order of St. Bishop Nikolaj. The greatest diocesan award was presented to the President of the state for "his great efforts and care for the Serbian country and the Serbian people and the painstaking work to improve relations between the state of Serbia and the Serbian Orthodox Church, as well as in honor of his first official visit to the Diocese of Valjevo and its holy shrines".
President Nikolic also visited the Celije monastery and the grave of Abba St. Justin of Celije. The President and Bishop Milutin were welcomed by abbess Glikerija with her sisterhood.

'Come February, the walls will bloom again'
Dr. Deborah Carrington prepares for the 2014 Area Youth Art Exhibition
Walking through Memorial Hall in December and January, you are sure to notice one thing – the lack of artwork on the walls. Gone are the colorful paintings and unique self-portraits, replaced by sterile white walls of a typical institutional building. But come February, the dull is replaced with vibrant artwork again from the 7th Annual Area Youth Art Exhibition.
Dr. Deborah Carrington, professor of early, elementary and reading education, started the first exhibit in the spring of 2008 with only 32 pieces from Harrisonburg City Public Schools students. This year, the display will feature up to 105 pieces and will include 3-D work and, for the first time, iPad-generated art. The exhibition runs from Feb. 16 through Dec. 16 and fills the walls of the first-floor hallway and courses to the second floor.
It's difficult to say that the exhibit serves a singular purpose; in fact, it has multiple. One of the most important is to build and maintain a relationship between JMU and local schools. The exhibit alternates between showcasing the art of students in Harrisonburg City Public Schools and private schools in odd-numbered years, and Rockingham County Public Schools in even-numbered years. Artwork by students at Eastern Mennonite School, Redeemer Classical School and Woodland Montessori School joins this year's exhibition.
The exhibit will often draw area schools, senior groups and other community groups who want to appreciate the local young artists. Carrington says that when the community shows appreciation for artistic skills, the benefits can be enormous. "When the college and the community at large acknowledge that this is an important skill, that sends positive and strong messages to the students, that 'hey, this is valued.' Research shows that if these kinds of skills are not acknowledged or validated, they will diminish."
The art exhibit doesn't just benefit local students and the community, though. JMU College of Education students have found it to be an important resource in their studies as well. Early childhood, developmental and other COE classes use the exhibit to track and showcase developmental milestones of young children.
The artwork also helps the JMU students and faculty to understand those they are preparing to serve. "The young people – those in kindergarten all the way through seniors in high school – have a unique perspective on the world. And when they share their work with us, we get a glimpse into that and see new facets of the world," said Carrington.
More than just creating an aesthetically pleasing environment, the artwork reminds students and faculty why they are at JMU – to become exceptional educators of K-12 children.
The 7th Annual Area Youth Art Exhibition will officially open with a public reception on Sunday, Feb. 16, from 2 to 4 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The reception will draw together area teachers, principals, parents, JMU faculty, and of course, the area youth.

Whether it is executed independently or commissioned by a gallery or a festival, today's street art is finding its place on an impressive variety of surfaces around the globe.
In fact, the whole urban art movement could (and should) now be considered a fully legitimate one - no longer will graffiti, murals and other ephemeral works be considered vandalism.
And why should they? The splendid art we see coming in each month as part of our Street Update section is there to connect people, unite communities, embellish environments, inspire, and even give voice to those who need it. The nature of street and urban art has always been a versatile one, and those who were truly committed to it were sometimes rebels - but always with a notable cause.
There seems to be no doubt that street artists and their creations gained popularity, and continue to do so, mainly thanks to the digital and social media. Being public works of art, they reach out to a large audience nowadays always ready to spread the word and give them the much-deserved visibility.
This is where we, as Widewalls, come in to say we are proud to be a part of this phenomenon and all its aspects, through our dedication and respect of these incredible artworks and the masterminds behind them.
It is now that time of the year again where we thank them for their hard work by looking back at the last 365 days of it. We'd also like to thank our Instagram followers for appreciating it just as much as we did, for this list features 55 of the most popular street and urban creations we brought to you in 2017.
A Colombian street artist known for her vibrant and captivating wall pieces, GLeo has created a new mural in the central market of supplies of Mexico City that references agriculture as a dialogue between man and earth. Titled Offering, the piece symbolizes the earth giving its last offering for to us.
A world-known cartoonist and illustrator, Phlegm has taken over The Crystal Ship Street Art Festival in Ostend with his otherworldly creatures. In trademark black and white, the mural is imbued with a fantastical storyline and endearing cast of characters. Intricate as always, it perfectly highlights the skills of this British artist.
The renowned Croatian artist Lonac has just finished an amazing mural for Wallskar festival in Nanxian, China that aimed to bridge the Chinese graffiti with the global graffiti art scene. Titled Does or Doesn't, this figurative based hyper-realistic piece shows a woman playing "He loves me, he loves me not" with a yellow flower.
Barcelona based illustrator, Marina Capdevila has created her biggest wall ever for DOMINADOMNA, a festival in Bergamo, Italy focused on female creativity through multidisciplinary projects. Titled All in All Win, the piece was painted on the facade of Guido Galli Institute. Transcending gender, race and age, the mural highlights a clear message of unity and solidarity.
Brazilian street artists l7matrix has recently stopped by Vannes, France to create a stunning large mural. He is known for blending roughness and elegance in his Graffiti Birds urban paintings. Depicting another beautiful bird, this latest piece combines geometrical elements and stylized color puzzles with detailed realism.
A Portuguese environmental artist, Bordalo II has created a mural in Dublin, Ireland during the Workshop Gastropub, Georges Quay. Titled Red Squirrel, the piece was created over the course of five days and the process was filmed for an Irish Film Board funded documentary Bordalo II A Life of Waste that will premiere this year.
The Australian artist Fintan Magee has created a large-scale piece in Saarbrücken, Germany as part of an Urban Art project titled Artwalk – Saarbrücken under the artistic direction of the Saarbrücken gallery owners Patrick Jungfleisch (Reso) and Benjamin Knur. Titled Boyhood, the piece is based on the photo the artist took of a boy playing with a bow and arrow on the streets of Beirut. In this site-specific piece, the boy from Beirut was replaced by a local teenager.
British artist known for his geometric compositions, Remi Rough has spent some time in France on the occasion of the La Condition Publique's exhibition Street Generation(s) 40 ans d'art urbain curated by Magda Danysz gallery. The mural he painted in Roubaix is characterized by his continuous investigation into the relationship between balance, tension, color and geometric theory.
Lauren Napolitano aka Peptalks describes herself as a traveling mixed media artist creating anything out of everything. Leaning heavily on her Mexican heritage, she uses symmetry and traditional Mexican craft as her starting point. In Tulum Mexico, she has created an intricate snake piece. As she explains, no one ever leaves here how they came. "We all shed a layer or two", she adds.
The Japanese-born and Australian-based artist Twoone has created a stunning piece on the Falls Creek's iconic "Brown Tank" that has served the resort by holding clean drinking water for the village year-around. Created as part of the local Artist in Residence Program, the piece titled Big Fella depicts a massive butterfly, providing an incredible experience for those skiing to the village via Shortcut or walking up Ory's Trail from Café Milch.
This beautifully vivid mural was made by the Bordeaux-based street artist Alber (also known as Alber V.times) in February 2017 and it can be found in Orleans, France. The graffiti consists of two semi-abstract faces with distinctive eyes, portraits made in the unique style Alber is known for. The mural was made for Le Mur Orleans, a non-profit organization dedicated to contemporary urban creation and taking graffiti to new heights.
Banksy made this charming Brexit-themed mural in the city of Dover, UK. It's a fairly simple and direct piece as the British king of stencils painted the flag of The Council of Europe. One of its twelve starts that stand for the peoples of Europe is being chiseled away, symbolically representing UK's departure from the international organization.
An awesome mural popped up on a wall in Honolulu, depicting a pair of children screaming at a sight of a crab clawing one of the boys and hanging from his finger. Appropriately titled as A'o Mai I Kou Hewa (Learn From Your Mistakes), this fantastic piece of street art was made by the TELMO MIEL duo. This mural was made for the POW! WOW! Festival, a week-long event in Hawaii.
Hueman, an Oakland-based street artist, made this interesting and vibrant mural in Los Angeles, California. It depicts a single hand allowing flowers to blossom on it palm, with the word Bloom written in the middle of the composition. The mural is a perfect example of how Hueman works, searching for that perfect balance between the abstract and the figurative.
The mural Rapture was made by the Argentinian street artist Francisco Bosoletti. As all other works signed by this man, Rapture carries the strong traits of universal classicism and it depicts a series of intertwined bodies in a predominantly grey composition. This mural was made for the Wool Urban Art Festival in Covilha, Portugal.
A mural that resulted from a collaboration between Pixel Pancho and Case Maclaim, this awesome piece can be found in the Brooklyn part of New York City. It shows two men shaking their hands while bundles of flowers seem to be bursting from their skins and jackets. This mural was created as a part of the Bushwick Collective project.
Yet another awesome anamorphic mural that came out of Odeith's street workshop in 2017, this piece is a great indicator of just how talented the Portuguese street painter in question truly is. It displays all the qualities Odeith utilizes when making 3D street works, traits that easily make him one of the greatest urban artists of his nation in that department.
A fantastic mural that always feels fresh no matter how many times you saw it, this incredible work of urban art can be found in Culver City, CA. America Needs Brains was a collaboration between two talented artists, Tristan Eaton and Saturno.
Fintan Magee created this hyperrealistic mural on a wall in Montreal, Canada. It shows two girls in pijamas sitting on a bed, both of them having a blanket tied over their faces. However, one of them is peaking. This wall was painted for the Mural Festival in Montreal.
Natalia Rak and Bezt of Etam Cru worked together on this mural in Napa, California, creating a charming huge piece that shows a girl in a urban surrounding releasing a bright butterfly from her hand. Knockin' on Heavens Door was made for the Rail Arts District Napa Valley project and was curated by Thinkspace Gallery.
Alexandre Farto aka Vhils visited his country's embassy in Bangkok in order to leave a mark and an homage to the community of Thailand's capital.
Executed in his trademark negative-space-style, the wall features the faces of the regular folks from the neighborhood, merging with one another.
If Nychos is someone known for his unique portrayals of mostly animals and their many layers, could have we expected him NOT to paint a kangaroo in Australia?
If you ever wondered what the entrails of the country's mascot looked like, here's your answer, courtesy of this very talented Austrian artist.
Future is in Your Hands is the title of this spectacular mural by Serbian street artist Artez painted in Valjevo, in his home country.
This talented individual is known for his realistic portraits often featuring bright colors such as yellow and hues of green.
The Dutch duo Telmo & Miel visited Perth down under earlier this year, where they painted Life of a story, a touching tribute featuring a child and his grandfather.
According to the artists, this particular area in Midland is where the railway workshops gave (heaps of) families an income for generations; a place with a lot of positive stories that will be passed on for decades to come.
About this mural, Italian artist Millo commented: "I painted this wall in Jyväskäla, a small city 350 km North from Helsinki for [a] festival. The city is surrounded by an amazing nature, lakes and forests everywhere."
"I feel very inspired and I wanted to underline the relationship between small things and ourselves and how something that seems nothing could be everything."
As part of the Teenage Kicks Biennale, an international art meeting taking place in France and, in this case in Rennes, Zest gave life to a vibrant mural.
In his trademark style, the artist "unveiled" the teared layers of a wall, using far-reaching colors such as bright blue, magenta, and yellow.
Poetic as always, urban art legend D*Face visited the 13th arrondissement of Paris, and left two of his famous figures in an embrace.
Love won't tear us apart is the title of this work, and we're certain this couple will last a while - at least until the weather and the building facade permit it.
INO painted this mural on the yard of a school that had been occupied for 23 years. It was the core of the Anarchism in Athens and now the municipalities turned it into a high school.
It shows a bomb instead of a brain inside a man's head, and is appropriately titled Mind Control. From a gray figure comes a blue liquid, breaking down the monochromatic composition.
Australian artist Conor Harrington is famous for his portraiture that mixes abstraction and classicism. In Paris, he painted two male figures against a pink-ish background.
If we are to trust the title of the artwork, these men both embrace and fight, leaving many things to the viewers to interpret.
"With this mural I wish to share a poem with the world, about the true reality of how things are, a reminder."
Thanks to Urban Nation, Ricky Lee Gordon painted this beautiful artwork in the German capital. A striking image indeed!
A talented and self-taught artist, Sean Yoro aka Hula became famous for his semi-submerged murals, created while balancing on his stand up paddleboard. To celebrate Earth Day, the artist has created an amazing mural that tackles the theme of climate change. Created with natural chalk that washes away, this temporary mural titled Pūliki, meaning "the embrace" in Hawaiian, sends a personal message about protecting our lands. The mural is created in a wood in Hawaii in an undisclosed location.
A talented street artist from Spain who decorates walls in a spectacular manner, Liqen was invited to Kassel, Germany by Dustin Schenk to collaborate with Schiller in his project KolorCubes of regeneration and action in public space. He has created an amazing wall piece titled Ceguera (Blindness) that depicts the machine drawn from liqenian natural liquid memory.
A part of the duo Etam Cru, BEZT has had a chance to paint a mural in his homeland. Created in Bielsko Biała, Poland, the piece titled Blue Monday is peaceful yet intriguing. Using a color palette consisting of different shades of blues and purples, the artist depicted a woman holding a lush flower pot. This quite image is imbued with an almost surreal-like feel.
Visiting the Bloop Festival in Ibiza, Spain this summer, INO has created a powerful piece that comments on the global warming. A visual play on the cold ice cream treat, the piece serves as a powerful example of how public-facing art can have an impact. As the artist explains, humans are the worst animals that have ever lived on earth.
An anonymous and controversial Australian street artist, Lushsux has made a name for himself by painting pop culture-infused murals, with just right amount troll added to the mix. After inviting his Twitter followers to vote on who should he do a mural on, he painted a large-scale piece of Obama saying "Miss me yet?".
The famous Street Art duo Ella & Pitr have created a massive mural in France that addresses the seriousness of the global refugee crisis. Titled Le Naufrage de Bienvenu/The Shipwreck of Welcome, the stunning outdoor work depicting a refugee seeking passage scales the surface of Piney's Dam in La Valla-En Gier, Rhone-Alpes in France.
The talented Croatian artist Lonac has created a new piece as part of the festival No Limit in Borås, Sweden. No Limit is an outdoor art event gathering artists from around the world to participate in turning public spaces into an outdoor exhibition. This outdoor gallery is available all year round.
For this year's edition of the Bratislava Street Art Festival, Fin Dac worked his magic in the street of Bratislava. An artist known for stunning portraits of women, he painted a new piece over the course of five days. Titled Veľké Oči, the piece depicts one of his ladies, but dressed in local traditional clothing instead of an asian one.
The first collaboration between Bifido and the Spanish artist Julieta XLF, a mural titled Deep Blue was created in Volos, Greece in the neighborhood where refugees live. Organized by Urbanact and Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V as part of the project Urbanartventures Vol 2, the piece focuses on migrations, the possibility to travel in freedom, changing life and building a new home. Working on the piece for a week, artists have been in contact with locals, consulting them on what their challenges and hopes.
Dan Ferrer painted this incredible mural in Avila, Spain. Titled Past, Presents, Future, this intentionally pale piece shows the same women in three different emotional states that appear to be grief, a prayer and a segment where the portrayed lady holds her hands over her eyes.
Titled as Under one Roof, this mural can be found in the city of Pfaffenhofen, Germany. It was painted by SatOne, a Munich-based illustrator and street artist originally from Venezuela. He applied his usual colorful style to this mural, using the signature visuals to transform a house into a frisky playground of colors and shapes.
A beautiful celebration of colors and forms, this mural can be found on the far East, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Even if we did not know who painted it, it's visual characteristics would be a dead giveaway - the mural was created by Stare. This piece was made as a part of The Wallriors project.
Done in a fascinatingly controlled manner in terms of shapes, this mural can be found in Požarevac, Serbia. Titled simply as Horse, the piece presents us with a frontal depiction of a horse in a way only one half of the animal's head is present. This mural was painted by the talented Nikola Mihajlović.
BiP (Believe in People), an anonymous street painter, created this incredible mural in downtown San Francisco. This stunning piece presents us with two "plants" extracted from the ground in a manner their roots are hanging out. However, instead of a leaf or a flower, the tops of these plants are two brains. This mural is titled as Together.
Underlined by a strong visual sense of Classicism, this mural is located in Naples, Italy, one of the most mesmerizing cities in the world in terms of art. It was created by Francisco Bosoletti and it presents us with a beautiful women covered in cloth, looking over an ordinary neighborhood in Naples.
Gifting us an interesting composition within which a fox and a swan are measuring each other and preparing for an epic battle, this mural was painted by TELMO MIEL for No Limit Boras in Sweden. The piece is titled The Adventures Of Nils Holgersson.
Created in the artist's characteristically charming style, The Bookworm is a beautiful mural painted by Artez. This artwork shows us a girl apparently getting ready to study, carrying a bunch of books with a cat resting on top of them. The Bookworm was created for 167/BStreet festival in Lecce, Italy.
Definitely one of street art gems made in 2017, It's Not a Game was painted by Antonello Macs in Campobasso, Italy. The mural consists of four humoristic depictions of political leaders currently running the world: Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Donald Trump and a masked Arab man. The four figures are sitting on a table and playing a card game of some sorts, having a blast doing so.
This astonishing duo of murals, titled The Other, was made by the Colombian artist Gleo who made a trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in order to work on these walls. Vividly executed and thematically intriguing, this mural was made for the Nu Festival and Nubank Brasil.
At number 5 of 2017's most beautiful murals, we have the "trash artist", Bordalo II. Among the animals this talented individuals created out of a variety of used and discarded materials there is this rooster, now gracing a wall in the Portuguese city of Beja.
Wittily titled Portu-galo, the rooster features metal plates and tubes and many splashes of color, among other things, once again proving how crafty this artist is.
If you want to check out all the places Bordalo II left his mark in, be sure to visit this link!
I can't stop staring at it! Can you?
In collaboration with Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans, PangeaSeed Foundation's public art program brings the oceans into the streets, educating and inspiring individuals and communities through ARTivism, and on the occasion of International Whale Shark Day on August 30th, Nychos immortalized this magnificent animal in his own style.
The mural points our the decrease of the population of whale sharks in a global scale to the point, as always revealing what's inside the animal he's portraying.
First Fire is the title of this adorable and very well executed mural, resulting in a joint effort of two quite talented artists. One is Bifido, an Italian artist, and the other is Julieta XLF, a painter from Spain. Both are invested in a particular kind of portraiture, and they have been working on different projects together for a while now.
Their latest mural was created for 167Bstreet, a laboratory of urban art based in the Southern Italian city of Lecce. It depicts two girls, morphing into each other and turning into animals, a fox and a bird. Through their hearts goes an arrow, as if connecting them.
"As a grey blanket, as a cruel concrete, one lives in forgotten places. Pressed in huge boxes, as mute beehives. And we break the silence with rains of colors and, in erased corners, life seems to appear."
Curated by Galerie Mathgoth, Bordalo II created yet another trash sculpture on the walls of Paris. Half Castor is the name of a beaver now gracing Rue du Chevaleret, created on a grand scale and featuring, once again, metal boards, wood stands, plastic tubes, strings, wires and lots of color.
Artur Bordalo was born in Lisbon in 1987, and he grew up inspired by his grandfather who painted the city of Lisbon himself.
His art draws attention not just to the animals he portrays, but also to a current problem that is waste production, pollution, materials that are not recycled and the way all of this impacts our world.
Finally, the most popular mural of 2017 is the creation of DEIH, a Spanish artist who has been demonstrating his love of comics on walls around the world.
This piece was created for Points de Vue, a street art week in the French town of Bayonne, in the South-West. The main question this artwork poses is: ARE YOU READY?
We see a woman wearing a jacked and a helmet, all covered in wire and surreal devices. She is about to plug in, but what will happen when she does?
The mural is a captivating comment on today's Western society, which by all means depends on and is directed by technology. Can we even get away from it all at this point?

These Are Not The Gayest Cities in America
Not in this order, at least. In a sorta-sociological article on The Daily Beast today, Richard Florida documents what he believes to be the the 20 gayest cities in the country. Are his conclusions correct? Eh, not really.
As Choire Sicha points out on /b/'s next target, The Awl, Florida is using a strange metric. He's going by number of same-sex couples living together. This measures the number of settled gays and lesbians, but does that really make a city gay? Shouldn't the gayest cities be the ones that feel the most culturally queer? Florida's number one and probably everyone's number one is San Francisco, duhhh, but number two is Petaluma? The New York metro area is number eleven? Florida, no.
Where are Atlanta and New Orleans, the gay capitals of the south? Why is Miami number 20 instead of, uh, like number three? Why are we even bothering to measure such an unmeasurable thing? Maybe determining this all by number of domestic couples is a (noble) attempt to normalize and mainstream the whole gay thing. Who knows. We just know that Florida's list is all off.
Now we're curious. How gay is your city? New York City is pretty durn gay, though that might just be the circles we run in. Places we don't go, like Murray Hill? Not at all gay. So, y'know, it can all be pretty relative! Where do you live? Is it overrun with gayness, or blessedly normy?

GREENLAND — Four police officers who were shot April 12 while serving a warrant at the home of Cullen Mutrie are suing Mutrie's mother for "wantonly and recklessly" allowing criminal activity to occur at the residence, which is owned by a trust in her name.
GREENLAND — Four police officers who were shot April 12 while serving a warrant at the home of Cullen Mutrie are suing Mutrie's mother for "wantonly and recklessly" allowing criminal activity to occur at the residence, which is owned by a trust in her name.
Filed in Rockingham County Superior Court, the civil suit identifies the four officers as John Doe 1 through 4 and names Beverly Mutrie, a Hampton businesswoman and Hampton Falls resident, individually and as trustee of the real estate trust, as defendant. The officers tell the court they were lawfully present on the Mutrie property due to illegal activity when they were injured by gunshots fired by Cullen Mutrie.
Mutrie's mother, the lawsuit alleges, "indirectly supported and facilitated" the criminal activity as trustee of the property. As a result, the officers claim, they suffered "severe bodily injuries and damages," lost wages now and in the future, and experienced "loss of enjoyment of life."
The officers are being represented by Portsmouth attorney Christopher Grant, who doesn't name the injured officers in the suit. However, they have previously been identified as detective Scott Kukesh of the Newmarket Police Department, Detective Jeremiah Murphy of the Rochester Police Department, Dover Detective Gregory Turner and University of New Hampshire Detective Eric Kulberg.
According to the state Attorney General's Office, the four were shot and wounded by Mutrie.
Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was killed during the same shooting, also by Mutrie, who killed himself and his co-suspect in drug investigations active at the time of the shooting, Brittany Tibbetts, the AG's office said.
Representing Beverly Mutrie and her family trust is Portsmouth attorney Brad Lown. Also a Portsmouth city councilor, Lown filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming Beverly Mutrie "had no knowledge of any criminal activity" or charges against her late son, "other than those that have been a matter of public record, fully recounted in the newspapers."
"The defendant played no role in the injuries that occurred on April 12, 2012 — she simply owned the property where the tragedy occurred," Lown wrote to the court.
In his motion to dismiss, Lown said there are no facts to support claims that Beverly Mutrie's actions or inactions were willful, wanton or reckless, and that she's not responsible for the actions of her "now deceased adult son."
Further, Lown tells the court, the officers' injuries did not originate from Beverly Mutrie's "mere ownership of the property."
"The mere fact that a tragically violent act occurred upon a piece of property owned by" Beverly Mutrie does not make her responsible for the shooting, Lown wrote.
Lown also says in the motion that Beverly Mutrie was subject to interrogatory interviews by the officers' lawyer a month before she was required by law to respond to the lawsuit.
He said the line of questioning reveals that the officers have no information upon which to base their lawsuit and that they were fishing for information about his client's insurance coverage.
Lown tells the court the officers' suit "is motivated only by a desire to profit off the tragedy that resulted in the death of Mrs. Mutrie's only child."
He also cites the Fireman's Rule, which states public safety officers can't sue for injuries due to negligent conduct that occurs during their "official engagement." Grant, the officers' attorney, won a recent N.H. Supreme Court case that specifically addressed the Fireman's Rule.
Lown is asking a Superior Court judge to dismiss the lawsuit, to grant Beverly Mutrie costs and attorneys fees, and to protect her from answering interrogatory interviews until his motion to dismiss has been decided by the court.
No hearing date has been scheduled.

Sigh...I think I'm getting old.
Why do people continue to write, and read reviews of Linux Distro releases? What does the review provide (other than the author's opinion, which may or not be valuable to you) that the release announcement/release notes and other official communication from the distro don't provide? How often do Ubuntu/Fedora/openSUSE/Debian or any other major distro have a release that is either so bad or so good that it warrants a "review"? It seems every review I read goes something like this:
"Distro version 13.13 'Majestic Mockingbird' comes with Firefox, GIMP, Evolution, Thunderbird, Rythmbox, a few games and a terminal emulator pre-instaled. It works well on my hardware. There is a new wallpaper, here is a screenshot of it, but I'm going to change it, and the theme and the font and add a gaziliion applets to my panel/bar/dock and a huge elaborate conky config. Here is a screenshot of my uber tweaked-out desktop that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Overall it's pretty stable but I hate the new interface. It sucks. I'm going to go back to using nothing but terminal windows and text based applications, because I'm an uber geek. I may remove X altogether."
I know it's great for any distro to get press, but I can't remember the last time I learned anything valuable, or read anything insightful from any stock distro review.

My mom submitted the recipe in the now famous country parish cookbook all those years ago, so it is easy for me to pull out and make. Usually I make it as a side dish at gatherings, but this time I decided to add some chicken and make it an entree. It was really good that way as well!
I love how simple this recipe is to throw together. You can toast the goodies ahead of time if you are making it for a gathering. The napa chops up easily enough and the dressing just requires stirring together a few simple ingredients. Of course that can be done even a day or two ahead.
My husband and I eat this with chicken as a meal at least a few times every summer. But I think it is also a really versatile side salad. I've brought it to potlucks to rave reviews. I've served it along grilled meats, with a ham and even with a roast chicken.
If you aren't familiar with napa, it is a really mild kind of cabbage. You will likely find it near the bok choy in the grocery store. The leaves are tender and the ribs are edible too, so I just leave it all together and chop it up. I do try to chop the larger parts of the rib a little finer, but we eat the whole thing.
Have you ever tried napa cabbage in other recipes? What are your favorite ways to use it?
Grandma's Napa Salad
- 1 head Napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 package Ramen noodles
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Optional: Chicken Breasts
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 vegetable oil (or your favorite neutral flavored oil)
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Place butter on a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven until melted.
- Break up ramen noodles into small pieces. Toss them, the sunflower seeds and almonds in butter on pan and place back in oven until toasted. Mine took about 10 minutes and I stirred them after every couple minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Cut Napa cabbage in thin slices. Toss with green onions.
- Mix together dressing ingredients and drizzle to your taste over the cabbage, tossing to coat.
- Sprinkle with roasted ramen and nuts. Serve immediately.

Donation to the State
When Iowa businessman Lowell Walter died in August of 1981, he and his wife, Agnes, left their dream home, Cedar Rock, to the Iowa Conservation Commission and the people of Iowa. Designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the residence lies on a limestone bluff overlooking the Wapsipinicon River near Quasqueton in Buchanan County.
The Design
The Walter house was one of Wright's most complete designs. Nearly everything at Cedar Rock bears the architect's imprint. Wright designed the furniture, selected the carpets, chose the draperies and even picked out the accessories. Cedar Rock was begun in 1948 and completed in 1950. It's roof and floors are concrete; the walls are brick, glass and walnut. Cedar Rock is one of nine Wright designed residences in Iowa. There is also a bank and hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the state. Of all the Wrights designs in Iowa, Cedar Rock is the only home chosen by Wright to bear his coveted signature tile.
The Style
The Walter house is an example of a simplified style of house Frank Lloyd Wright developed and called "Usonian". The plan for the Walter house follows the characteristic "tadpole" form, typical of Wright's Usonian homes - the bedroom wing of the house constituting the tail of the "tadpole" and the living/dining room the head. The house is one story and the overall length is about 150 feet. Everything about the Walter residence is compact and efficient - everything, that is, but the combination living/dining room which Wright called "the Garden Room". The Garden Room covers more than 900 square feet and has a fireplace which can hold five-foot logs.
The view of the river and wooded valley, through the Garden Room's three glass walls, is breathtaking. Glass doors open directly from living areas to ground-level terraces. Natural light fills the house. Broad overhangs with upturned edges soften sunlight and shade the glass walls. There are openings in the overhangs covered with vines for summer shade. Clerestory windows are incorporated in every room to brighten interior spaces and release hot air trapped near the ceiling. Recessed artificial lighting creates the effect of natural light, even at night.
The Walters were justifiably proud of Cedar Rock. Very little has been altered on the estate since its construction and the structure and furnishings are in good condition. The Walters wished to assure preservation of the residence. They established a private trust fund that has several charitable obligations ahead of, but including Cedar Rock. There is no formal tour charge, however, a tax deductable donation is crucial and appreciated.
Open to the Public
New Tour Information
The Walter Residence and the Visitor Center are open to the public Memorial Day Weekend into October, Wednesday through Sunday. Guided tours of the house depart the Visitor Center on the hour from 10:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. We request you please reserve your party's tour. All tour requests need size of party, with desired date and time. Include a contact name and telephone number so that we may confirm your selection or possibly reschedule. The park telephone number is 319-934-3572 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Walk-ins are accepted only as space permits. School and group tours are available; please contact the park for further information.

Neal excited for new opportunity with Cubs
PHILADELPHIA -- Thomas Neal was just glad that a team claimed him off of waivers when the Cubs scooped up the outfielder Sunday. After they told Neal he would be joining their Major League roster, Neal said it was "icing on the cake."
Neal joined the Cubs in Philadelphia on Tuesday for his third stint with a team in the Majors. Neal spent most of his season playing with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, but he was designated him for assignment Friday.
The 25-year-old said he had been designated twice before in his career, but he did not get picked up either time. But the news that the Cubs not only wanted him, but wanted him on their big league club, was a welcomed surprise for Neal.
"This time going into it, I didn't know what to expect," Neal said. "I had spent the year in Triple-A, but this game is weird, you don't know what teams are looking for."
Neal was hitting .325 with an .802 OPS in 72 games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He has a career .301 average and .806 OPS in eight Minor League seasons.
A right-handed hitter, Neal has limited Major League experience. The Indians called him up in September last season, and the Yankees used him in four games during mid-June. Neal is 7-for-34 (.206) lifetime against Major League pitching, but he is hoping he can get more opportunities and put up better numbers with the Cubs.
"Anytime you come to a new situation, you definitely put your best foot forward," Neal said. "I just want to get back on the field and play baseball. Having to sit four days and waiting to find out what's going to happen can be torture. I'm just excited to be back."
Manager Dale Sveum said he expects to use Neal against left-handed pitching and play him in either of the two corner-outfield spots.
Neal appeared in Tuesday's 9-8 loss as a pinch-hitter, hitting a game-ending fly ball to left off Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon with two runners on base.

I went over and looked at this building in person. The gold looks nouvelle riche.
Looks like a building built by a bitter balding bigot.
That metal window frame detail is actually quite distasteful (70's trumpish), and unfortunately ruins the whole thing.
That looks like the facade for 1 West End.
This building, along with 423 Park, remains one of my favorites which are currently reaching completion: entirely an 'opinion' based statement that I know few will agree. If there is anyone else following this project as closely as myself, any and all input would be greatly enjoyed. I have notice recently they have started welding the framing structure for the glass panels on the facade: all while the interior finishes, and fit-out is underway.
432 Park is about at the same stage of near completion: I have not been able to obtain any interior progress photos of either building - as of yet. http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showth...32+Park+Avenue
Here is an on-site update for one of the many components as the finishing touches to the building facade: notice the 'new' white half-round mullion caps used to cover the seams of the large window panes. This is all very substantial material being used on this facade: not run-of-the-mill curtain wall components. The building is a gem, and I enjoy watching every facet being put in place: stand by for more 'detailed' on-site updates.
The sheer MASS of this building is really quite exceptional: by mass I don't mean size, but simply the total weight in LBS compared to any other new construction building of similar size.
There is nothing thin or flimsy or lightweight about out anything going into the building: there is layer upon layer of reinforced concrete, heavy and thick glass and precast stone on the curtain wall, the construction and assembly of the various components are all robust and well secured - I have observed this daily, and closely and am quite impressed. A lot of material, sheer mass alone, adds solidity and stature and status in a subtle and not easily perceptible way: when all that 'material' is well crafted, and assembled - the results are pleasing to the trained eye.
The aesthetics of the Architectural Design is another matter entirely; I find the appearance of the the building to be quite attractive, in a modest way, this is an understated design - even with the presence of the shiny metallic trim on the facade and around the window frames. I am typically refuted in my defense of 'attractiveness' of this building: and those rebuttals are all perfectly valid opinions.
However, no one can reasonably argue that this building is not being constructed with the massiveness and quality craftsmanship of a Medieval fortress or Castle: in that sense, and that sense alone, this building is indisputably exceptional.
Those U shaped caps went on to the large window frames at the street level: one of the many details I am watching go up as this building nears completion.

Washington Times
By Akbar Saremi
Early on Dec. 28, as Westerners were celebrating the Christmas and New Year holiday season, I had just awakened when one of my friends reached me with tears in his eyes. In broken sentences, he said, "Akbar, Akbar, Ali Saremi has been hanged."
A bitter feeling overwhelmed me. For a few minutes, I felt numbed.
Ali Saremi, the most prominent Iranian political prisoner, was my father.

Casilla ready for action with new knee brace
TORONTO -- Reliever Santiago Casilla, who hasn't made an appearance since May 8, was available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, manager Bruce Bochy said.
Casilla has been sidelined with a cyst in his right knee, which has led to some discomfort and forced him to exit early from the last game he pitched against the Phillies. But the right-hander, who threw off a mound Tuesday, was able to avoid a trip to the disabled list and the Giants were able to get by for a week with a thinner bullpen.
"Casilla is good to go and the rest of them are fine," Bochy said about his roster.
The 32-year-old Casilla, who will pitch with a brace on his knee, has been a huge part of San Francisco's bullpen since joining the team in 2010. Casilla, who led the Giants with 73 appearances in 2012, entered Wednesday with a 2.21 ERA and 170 strikeouts over 187 1/3 career innings with the Giants.
In 19 appearances this season, Casilla is sporting a 2.12 ERA and 1.12 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) with six holds.

Microsoft slashes Surface RT prices for Aussie schools, universities
- 27 June, 2013 08:55
Microsoft has slashed prices of its Surface RT tablet for Australian education institutions by more than 50 per cent, following a worldwide announcement of the scheme last week.
The company formerly announced local pricing for the limited time offer overnight. It will sell the entry-level 32GB model of the Surface RT to schools and universities for $219.
Microsoft will also bundle the Surface RT with a Touch Keyboard Cover for $279 (RRP $679), or a Type Keyboard Cover accessory for $319 (RRP $708).
The education offer will be available until Saturday 31 August.
"For a limited time only, Microsoft is offering education institution customers special pricing on the Surface RT tablet."
"Our mission in education is to help schools and universities, students and educators realise their full potential. One way we do this is by offering software, hardware and services at affordable prices to education institutions. Surface RT is a terrific tool for teaching and learning and we want students and educators to have the best technology on the market today."
The stand alone Surface RT tablet regularly retails for $559 on Microsoft's Australian website, though a current promotion has reduced the price by $100 to $459.
Microsoft also sells a 64GB model of the Surface RT tablet, but this model is not part of the education scheme.
In addition to Australia, the Microsoft Surface RT education offer will be available in Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States (including Puerto Rico).
The Surface RT tablet was released in Australia last November. It has a 10.6in display, is powered by the Microsoft's Windows 8 RT operating system and boasts a magnesium case.

THE WOODLANDS — Sarah Palin told a cheering crowd late Friday that America needs to get back to its "clinging to God and guns" roots, as the tea pea party's biggest names made a series of last-minute, high-profile appearances around Texas to support insurgent conservative U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate spoke to more than 1,000 boisterous and sweating Cruz supporters gathered under a mercilessly early-evening sun on a grassy knoll in The Woodlands, a well-to-do Houston suburb. She told them that "to make America great, we don't need a fundamental transformation, we need a fundamental restoration."
"Fighters like Ted Cruz can lead the charge for us," Palin said.
Cruz, the former Texas Solicitor General, is locked in a fierce and increasingly nasty battle with the mainstream Texas GOP choice, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, for the Republican nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. The pair face a runoff Tuesday because neither won a majority in a nine-Republican senatorial field during the state's May 29 primary.
Palin jokingly called Texas "Alaska's little-sister state," and said that President Barack Obama and defenders of politics-as-usual "believe they are smarter than you are." She said the tea party is unapologetic in its pro-religion, pro-Second Amendment and anti-abortion convictions — adding that the grassroots tidal wave that began two years ago is just getting started.
"And 2010 was just a step in that long march towards that real reform we need. Texas will you keep fighting?" she asked. The crowd bellowed: "Yes!"
Palin noted that Texas Gov. Rick Perry previously gave her the black boots that she was wearing on stage Friday to match her black top and black skirt, saying: "At least, in one case, he made a good decision."
That was a reference to the governor's endorsement of Dewhurst, who has overseen the Texas Senate since 2003. When her mention of Perry drew only light applause, Palin added: "We'll all be a team again once this is over," suggesting that Texas conservatives will move quickly to mend a large and growing rift that the Cruz-Dewhurst contest has opened within the state's Republican Party.
Wearing jeans and a broad smile, Cruz introduced Palin, calling Obama a "clueless, out-of-touch, socialist" and saying that "the tea party movement is fundamentally about accountability."
Also appearing at the rally was South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, who predicted a Cruz landslide and said it would shock traditional Republicans as much as Democrats.
"Tuesday night, when they find out what happened here in Texas, Republican leaders in Austin and in Washington aren't going to sleep very well," DeMint said, referring to the state capital.
It was DeMint's second appearance with Cruz on Friday. He spoke alongside the candidate earlier in the day in Dallas, along with fellow tea party voices in the U.S. Senate, Mike Lee of Utah and Kentucky's Rand Paul.
During the Dallas event, Cruz again criticized a Dewhurst circular that puts his face in front of a Chinese flag — a reference to Cruz's Houston-based law firm's representation of a Chinese company in an intellectual property dispute with an American manufacturer.
"I observed that for a long time, it has been considered the very basis of gutter politics to impugn another candidate's patriotism," Cruz said in Dallas. "That ad was a blatant falsehood."
He accused Dewhurst of "flooding the airwaves" with attacks, including ads about his past legal work for a Pennsylvania developer embroiled in a judicial corruption scandal.
Paul, the son of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Lake Jackson, Texas, said he didn't know Dewhurst but didn't like the ads he had seen. "That disqualifies you from office," he said.
Dewhurst spokesman Matt Hirsch countered that Cruz had run "a relentlessly negative campaign from Day One."
"Ted Cruz is now using his D.C. supporters as a shield to hide from the fact he chose to represent American job killers," Hirsch said in a statement. "Texans know that David Dewhurst has produced conservative results, and that is why they are politely telling the D.C. insider crowd to shove it."
Dewhurst was campaigning in Tyler in East Texas on Friday, but a group of veterans supporting the lieutenant governor gathered in The Woodlands prior to Cruz's event to voice their support for him.
Tea party groups have targeted Dewhurst as too moderate. While the lieutenant governor has overseen some of the most conservative legislative sessions in Texas history, he has also occasionally compromised with Democrats on key bills.
To finance his campaign over the last two weeks, Dewhurst has loaned his campaign an additional $8 million, bringing the total spent from his own pocket to $24.5 million. Texas has 20 media markets, making it one of the most expensive states in which to mount a major campaign.
According to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Dewhurst wrote four checks to his campaign since July 13. He had already loaned it more than $16 million. Cruz, meanwhile, has gotten millions from national conservative groups, including the anti-tax Club for Growth, based in Washington.

This is how much I love you, readers of this blog. I am subjecting myself to spoilers because my Google Alert were full of REALLY AWESOME STUFF! So read at your own risk. Seriously—the post title should be warning enough. :)
We already knew James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter were going to guest star. Reports on the October 21st episode say they play a married couple getting a divorce, and Charisma plays a witch.
I didn't watch the sneak peek, but couldn't help clicking the headline when I learned that Jewel Staite (of Firefly!) plays a character named "Amy Pond" in this week's episode. Love the Doctor Who tribute!
Geez, my head might explode from the convergence of all my geektastic faves.
Okay, this is the story that made me stop squinching my eyes shut, covering my ears, and going "lalalalalala!" so I didn't learn anything about the season. Episode 8, titled "Season 7: Time for a Wedding," is going to be one of the light, funny, slightly meta episodes we love. And one of the boys is going to be a groom. Boy, I can't WAIT to see what they have in store for us with that!
In that same story, Sera Gamble says Cas will be back, though she won't give any hints as to how. She also does an interview for TVLine that addresses lots of questions about Cas, Misha (yes, two different things!), Crowley, angels, and more. Generalized spoilers in that interview.
That's all for now! I'll see you late Friday night when I recap episode 3, "The Girl Next Door"!

It is not remotely the most interesting scene from the show -- I'm not sure it's even the most interesting from the episode in question -- but when I think of Veronica Mars, I often think about the scene in season 2 where Veronica tries to set up Vinnie with a bugged pen, and he sings out the window to her to show her it hasn't worked.
"Private Eyes, Are Watching You. Veronica Mars"…
Awesome because she's not as smart as she thinks he is, and because it involves her beloved LeBaron, and also because it involves Vinnie, who, let's be honest, is also one of her favourites. It just encapsulates the series for me.
As such, these pictures bring me great joy.
No, there is no sign of Vinnie. At least, not yet. But there's my girl Veronica, with a smirk on her face and a pen cap (or something – floss tool? ) in her mouth. What I love most about these photos is that as she harasses Logan and Gia looks on, she is so damned amused. I don't think these were all taken during a cut, either. That's the face! That's Veronica's face, enjoying herself so much at any given time that the actual "work" of sleuthing never feels like a drag.
So, what do we know from what we've seen here?
Well, we know Bell busted her ass to get back into shape. I know she was in great shape before, but she had her kid less than three months ago, which must be mildly terrifying. I always thought it must be hard that part of the Veronica persona was that she was tiny – that's a lot of pressure to maintain that same tininess.
We know Veronica's still getting out and around. One of the things I remember Rob Thomas saying was that of course Veronica could, in theory, do 99% of her detective work from a computer, but it's boring, so the writers were always trying to figure out how to get her into the world. I am glad this continues.
We know that Jason Dohring's haircut is speaking to the part of Logan that left inspirational messages on his voicemail, and not necessarily the part that bought GHB in Tijuana. You know what I mean?
(No. Stop yelling at me. First of all you don't get to be mad about spoilers this late in the game, and second of all, that actually tells you nothing, plot-wise.)
We know that I am so excited I can't really breathe, and since I bet I'm indicative of the average Veronica fan, I wonder how much more "behind the scenes" we'll get? Of course they promised all kinds of information would flow to the Kickstarter donors, but at the same time, this is the kind of thing where you don't want too much, because part of the joy is not knowing. For now, this is just enough.
