Eat these, you will
Whether it's for pint-sized fans who love their lightsaber battles, dads who can recite all the lines from the original trilogy or that special guy who is the Han Solo to your Princess Leia, these new Star Wars pancake moulds and cookie cutters are just too cute to pass up.
Taking inspiration from a galaxy far, far away, the pancake set includes Yoda, Darth Vader and a stormtrooper. And, in theory, they seem easy enough for even a Jedi Padawan to use: place on a preheated griddle and pour in your batter.
The cookie cutters, which come in a set of four, includes Darth Vader, Yoda, Boba Fett and a stormtrooper - and are a great chance to practice your mastery of the force, or at least your icing skills.
I love the retro sci-fi geek meets foodie vibe, and they might even spur on some brunches that I don't have to make myself!
The pancake moulds and cookie cutters both retail for $29.95 each, and are available at Williams-Sonoma.

Terrace Bay is on the coast, set deep within the Skeleton Coast National Park.
Terrace Bay: Our full report
Deep within the Skeleton Coast National Park, Terrace Bay is a long (six-hour) drive from Swakopmund, and the most northerly point in the park that's accessible by private vehicle.
Here you can stay in bungalows with private toilets and showers. They're recently upgraded the facilities and the rooms are now simply but nicely furnished. The food has improved from a low base but do not expect haute cuisine! All in all it is not the best camp in Namibia but it is the only place to stay for a very long way and gives you a very good feel for the isolation of the Skeleton Coast.
Location: Skeleton Coast & Kaokoland, Namibia
Ideal length of stay: The reason to come to Terrace Bay is to explore the Skeleton Coast, so most people only drop in for a single night - although keen fisherment may stay for longer.
Directions: Terrace bay is almost 287km north of Henties Bay - or 363km north of Swakopmund; it's a very long drive!
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Food quality: You sould expect fairly basic meals from this old, restcamp which has been run by the government for many years.
Dining style: Individual Tables
Dining locations: Indoor Dining
Drinks included: No drinks are included
Special interests
Beach holidays: Terrace Bay is a basic 'restcamp'; it's very isolated and as far north as the public are allowed on the Skeleton Coast. Use it as a stop-over to help you explore the coast when driving between Swakopmund and Damaraland, or as a world-class sea-angling destination.
See more ideas for Beach holidays in NamibiaInfrastructure
Power supply: Generator
Health & safety
Malarial protection recommended: No
Medical care: The nearest doctor is probably in Henties Bay - about 4-5 hours' drive south along the Skeleton Coast.
Dangerous animals: Moderate Risk
Disabled access: Not Possible

subset: commoncrawl

I booked an Aeroplan reward ticket LHR-YYZ-YYC and I only have 1 hr, 25 minutes to connect in YYZ. Having never connected through YYZ before, I didn't realize that we would have to collect our luggage there along with clearing customs and am now thinking the time is too tight. We do have Nexus cards which should help though. Any advice? (or directions as YYZ is new to me).

Reflecting on Erik Gronborg / Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland
Reflecting on Erik Gronborg / Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, OR, USA
August 07, 2012 – February 16, 2013
Selections and Installation by Jeffry Mitchell
Curated by Jeffry Mitchell and Namita Gupta Wiggers
Erik Gronborg employs archetypes of functional ceramic traditions as conceptual vehicles to explore contemporary culture. Combining a 1,000-year-old-continuum of ceramic history with silk-screening, comics, china paint, and commercial glazes, Gronborg's provocative "crafty" and non-precious approach is a precursor to the "sloppy craft" that is as challenging today as it was in the late 1960s. Working with Seattle-based artist Jeffry Mitchell, selections of Gronborg's work will be drawn from local public and private collections. Through dialogue and conversation throughout the process with Namita Gupta Wiggers, and an installation designed by Mitchell, the exhibition will explore Gronborg's use of craft as a tool for social commentary and political satire, and how the work relates to Mitchell's own explorations of ceramics as a contemporary medium.
Location: Collection Gallery
Opening August 7, 2012 and running through February 16, 2013, this exhibition is part of a series of ongoing explorations in which the Museum invites fresh perspectives on the collection and archive by partnering with artists, creative people, and designers to create public exhibitions. Director and Chief Curator Namita Gupta Wiggers invited ceramic artist Jeffry Mitchell to make selections of Gronborg's work as a way of fostering a dialogue between the work of these two artists of different generations and as a way of creating conversation around Gronborg's work.
The Museum is recording conversations between Wiggers and Mitchell about Mitchell's selections and groupings of the senior artist's work. These conversations center on the use of craft as a tool for social commentary and political satire, and how Gronborg's work relates to Mitchell's own explorations of ceramics as a contemporary sculptural medium. Reflecting on Erik Gronborg, co-curated by Mitchell and Wiggers, features work from the Museum's collection and from private collections in Portland. The more than 85 works by Gronborg include ceramic, wood, and miniature bronze sculptures.
Erik Gronborg, who moved to the United States from Denmark in 1959, almost immediately began making what he considers functional ceramic works that explore contemporary culture. Combining the 1,000-year-old-continuum of ceramic history with silk-screening, comics, china paint, and commercial glazes, Gronborg's provocative "crafty" and non-precious approach is a precursor to the "sloppy craft" that is as challenging today as it was in the late 1960s. Gronborg, whose last kiln firing was in 1996, won The City of Paris Award at The Paris Bienale in 1963. Gronborg has spent most of his life as an artist and educator at various institutions in California and also taught at Reed College from 1965-69.
A retrospective of Mitchell's work, Like a Valentine: The Art of Jeffry Mitchell, opens at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle in October 2012. Mitchell was awarded a Joan Mitchell Grant in 2009 and was a finalist for the Contemporary Northwest Art Awards at the Portland Art Museum in 2008. His work was included in the ICA's 2009 exhibition, Dirt on Delight: Impulses that Form Clay. Mitchell is represented by Ambach & Rice in Los Angeles.
Interview with Teresa & Helena Jané - Spotlight, May 2012
SPOTLIGHT, May 2012: Teresa & Helena Jané
/ Read the full interview in Ceramics Now - Issue Two
Ceramics Now Magazine: You have been working with ceramic jewelry and knobs for over 10 years. How did you discover the passion for beautifully crafted objects?
THJane: I suppose it comes from our childhood. We grew up surrounded by photographs, books, stamps and original objects. Some had been brought up from the place where we're born, Angola, in Africa.
Our dad was an architect, and mum was a teacher of arts and crafts. They invested strongly in our education for the discovery and exploration of unique artistic sensibilities, and we always felt responsible for giving them a well deserved response. We studied piano for several years and used to go to classical music concerts every weekend.
We also had the opportunity to learn and practice woodwork and woodcut, ceramics and basketry, weaving and dressmaking, bookbinding, painting and engraving, and so many other useful things.
Years later, we set up THJané project and, until today, we still live with the feeling of achievement that comes with creating things of beauty, you say, with our own hands.

Working as a group has plenty of advantages, but sometimes it may be challenging. How do you divide your work? Who is responsible for what part of the constructing process?
After 10 years of intense activity, Teresa usually comes to be responsible by the development of ideas and by the exploration of painting techniques. Also drawing and sculpture. And I (Helena), by the choice of materials and techniques of production, studies of color and by the preparation and application of glazes.
Sure it can bring some comfort. Yet, new works often requires us to change roles and also to work together. Breaking routines and try new things have always encouraged us. Therefore, any of us can accomplish any task at any time.
Besides, it also reduces uncertainty about the capabilities of each other, allowing to have a greater respect for individuality and free expression. This is very important, specially when we seek the necessary consensus in our work.
Ehren Tool: Production or Destruction / Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles
Ehren Tool: Production or Destruction / Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, USA
May 27 – September 9, 2012
Former Marine and ceramist Ehren Tool exhibits war awareness work at CAFAM.
Opening reception: Saturday, May 26, 6 – 9 pm.
"The best way to destroy your enemy is to make him your friend." – Abraham Lincoln
Coinciding with Memorial Day, the Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) presents Ehren Tool: Production or Destruction, a solo exhibition of ceramist and former Marine, Ehren Tool. Emblazoned with the haunting imagery of armed conflict, Tool creates handmade ceramic cups as a medium to address war and the violent rhetoric and imagery used to perpetuate it. The exhibition will feature 1,000 handcrafted cups, video, installation, photographs, and printed materials.
Twenty years after his service in the first Gulf War, Tool's firsthand contact with the reality of war is manifest in the thousands of cups he dutifully produces. The cups will be exhibited at CAFAM in "units" based on military formations of "squads" (13), "platoons" (55), and "companies" (225), serving as a visual reminder of each Marine within a military unit. Each cup is uniquely crafted, decorated with ceramic decals of soldiers' photos, propaganda, war porn, and sculptural reliefs shaped like bombs, guns, or medals.
Recent events such as the Occupy movements and the incendiary language of current election campaigns figure strongly in his new work, as well as veteran suicides and stories of U.S. Marines desecrating bodies of the deceased. Other imagery alludes to the culpability of video games, toys, and pornography in desensitizing the public to the emotional toll of war.
Tool insists that his art is not anti-war, and prefers to characterize it as "war awareness" work. "It is not my intention to teach or preach. It is not possible to communicate the pain, waste, or intensity of war. My work deals with the uneasy collision, and collusion, between military and civilian cultures," he says.
By putting people in contact with the imagery of war through an everyday household item, he hopes to make people think more often about war and it's consequences in a meaningful way. "Letter to President Obama" (2009) is among the several letters he wrote to national and corporate heads urging them to consider the outcome of supporting continued war efforts. He also sent a cup to each of these leaders, which elicited responses from politicians such as Karl Rove.
Though the cups are functional drinking vessels, they are also memory objects that contain unspoken stories about fallen soldiers and wounded survivors. The installation "393" (2004) is a striking display of 393 shattered cups that represent the number of U.S. combat casualties during the first year of the second Gulf War. In the video "1.5 Second War Memorial," a different cup is shot to pieces every 1.5 seconds, each signifying a soldier or civilian who has died in a war.
Tool will be on-site at CAFAM for an artist residency between June 1 and June 15, where he will set up a ceramic studio in the courtyard to encourage public conversations and share his work in progress. He will be giving away all the cups he makes at CAFAM.
Craft Spoken Here / Philadelphia Museum of Art
Craft Spoken Here / Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, USA
May 5 - August 12, 2012
Crafts were prominent among the first works of art to enter the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art when it was founded in 1876, and the Museum has continued to collect and exhibit crafts. Today, thanks in large part to the Women's Committee and gifts from individuals, the Museum is particularly well-known for its holdings of twentieth-and twenty-first-century American, European, and Asian craft.
With Craft Spoken Here, the Museum seizes the opportunity to experiment with its collection and to understand craft in an international context. Some forty contemporary works from 1960 to the present in ceramic, glass, metal, wood, lacquer, paper, and fiber—some by living, acclaimed artists and others by lesser-known creators—are on view. Representing the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe, the works highlight formal qualities that cross cultures, time, and media.
Craft Spoken Here features an array of engaging education programs and interpretive materials, including on-site artist demonstrations and hands-on craftmaking activities for the public.
The exhibition is divided into three sections. Essential Element looks at continuing importance of line—the graphic gesture—as an expressive and compositional element in the work of artists. Rebecca Medel's The One (1985) uses a network of lines to form a dense cube of knotted cotton and linen threads, dark on its fringes and progressively lighter towards the center, which creates the illusion of a luminous sphere floating in an atmospheric haze. The second section, Shape Shifting, includes works in clay, glass, wood, metal, paper, and fiber materials that have been fashioned into sculptural forms. Motoko Maio's Kotodama (2008) is a folding screen in silk and linen that can be adjusted to divide a room, provide privacy, or rest decoratively in a corner. The final section is Gesture, which includes works that offer visual and emotional cues, such as the chaotic, seemingly uncontrollable framework of Jessica Jane Julius's Static (c. 2008), in which hundreds of black glass flameworked threads combine in a sculptural evocation of the artist's reoccurring dream.
Elisabeth Agro, The Nancy M. McNeil Associate Curator of American Modern and Contemporary Crafts and Decorative Arts
The exhibition is made possible by The Leonard and Norma Klorfine Foundation Fund for Modern and Contemporary Craft. Additional support is provided by the Windgate Charitable Foundation and the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In-kind support is provided courtesy of Lion Brand Yarn.
Jason Hess: New Work / Plinth Gallery, Denver, CO, USA
Jason Hess: New Work / Plinth Gallery, Denver, CO, USA
April 6 - 28, 2012
Opening reception: Friday, April 6th, 6-9 pm.
Jason Hess is a professional ceramic artist and professor who lives in Arizona and instructs at Northern Arizona University. As an "avid wood firer", his research for over 15 years has focused on the alchemy of the process — how the clay color, wood type, kiln design, and ash dispersion at high temperatures work together to "render a surface that is unattainable in other ways."
A desire to have objects that fulfill specific purposes inspires him to make functional pots. The infinite and elusive variety of texture and color attainable through the various making and firing processes has generated an interest in the notion of presentation. Some of his work is presented so that a viewer might notice and appreciate subtle diversities in form and surface. By grouping similar forms of differing size and color the compositions create a visually dynamic display, which invites the viewer to enjoy the tactile nature of each individual piece and how they relate to one another.
His ceramic art has been featured in over 125 exhibitions worldwide. Jason has participated in residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation, in Montana, and at The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China. He has also received numerous research grants from Northern Arizona University to research his medium and for the construction of the kilns. Jason's work is either utilitarian or refers to utility in form while the presentation is more like characters relating to one another. He holds an MFA degree from Utah State University.
Gallery Hours: Thursday - Saturday, 12-5 pm, and by appointment.
David Gómez Blaya / B4ZAAR Creative Market, Madrid, Spain
David Gómez Blaya / B4ZAAR Creative Market, Madrid, Spain
March 26-30, 2012
The Adolfo Dominguez Foundation presents the plastic artist and ceramic sculptor David Gómez Blaya in Madrid, Spain.
The Adolfo Dominguez Foundation will present the ceramic work of David Gómez Blaya, a plastic artist from Madrid between March 26 and March 30 in the B4ZAAR CREATIVE MARKET. The Foundation headquarters are located at calle Serrano, number fifth, next to Puerta de Alcala, subway station of Retiro in Madrid.
The B4ZAAR CREATIVE MARKET of the Adolfo Domínguez Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of emergent artists and designers. During the last week of March, David Gómez Blaya, a creator born in Madrid, will show his concept of sculptural pottery throughout his work. The visitors will have the opportunity to contemplate his ceramic pieces, as well as to meet personally with this versatile craft maker, and also to acquire his art that will be for sale.
David is a master potter and has a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from Universidad Complutense of Madrid. He began his career in the art world through painting to later work mostly in artistic ceramics. He brings a renewed vision of the ancient potter skills which have been developed through humankind history and applied them to art creation. Departing from the intrinsic functionality of a wonderful tool, the pottery wheel, he reinvents his use as an artist instrument to elaborate very complex technically sculptures. Nonetheless, his artwork has great simplicity and visual impact. In addition, his neat drawing, with explicit lines and full of details, is an elaborate exercise of descriptive plastic images. Therefore, the decoration of his pottery becomes a visual surprise of rich and luminous colors for the human eye that projects his vision of the world.
Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday, 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Kira O'Brien: The Meeting, 2011, white earthenware, black and colored slips, 1150 transparent glaze, 12x15x26cm

And some more :)
We had a bit of a lazy Sunday, which created some time for me to do some photo filtering/processing. We had an early start due to a dog incident… (just spent 100$ on new blinds so we wouldn't be woken up by the light anymore…), so we headed out for a 10K hike around Buntzen Lake, which is about 2-3km from our home and afterward we went for lunch at our favorite Sushi Place, where we treated ourselves to Spicy Tuna Sashimi, Spicy salmon sashimi, an "awesome roll" (it was actually very good, but that's just the name) and Ebi Gyoza, price: 28$(+-18EUR) (including drinks). Can't beat that price
We finished it of with a visit to Starbucks where I got a "Double chunky chocolate chip frappuccino" and Ine got something similar with strawberry (Basically these are more or less milkshakes, but starbucks likes to fancy up the names…).

For most homes, an entry landscape is the most public garden space. An entry landscape, whether simple or complex, should draw your eye toward the front door. The design sets the mood. An entry landscape offers the opportunity to create a transition from an open garden or lawn without a ceiling to the more intimate, human scale of the interior of the home. It is important to consider is how well your entry landscape reflects and complements the architecture of your home. The planting design of an entry landscape requires careful thought, from choosing the right size, temperament and position of plants that create the scale you want, to choosing the plants themselves. Visitors waiting to enter your home will be close to the selected plant material. Take advantage of this captive audience to use a range of colors, textures and shapes to hold their interest and maybe even surprise them. Fragrant plants are ideal for entry landscapes. They smell good for your guests and scent your house every time the door is opened.

What are your implicit biases?
Project Implicit is a research project at Harvard that has been examining implicit biases since 1998. By going to the project's website, you can view a demonstration of the tests they use to determine if you have an implicit bias. Here are the most important findings of the project so far:
- Implicit biases are pervasive.
- People are often unaware of their implicit biases.
- Implicit biases predict behavior.
- People differ in levels of implicit bias.
The most interesting aspect of the site is the Implicit Association Tests (IAT's). The site presents several IAT's that can identify implicit biases regarding race, age religion, sexuality, gender and career, weight, disability, and skin tone, among others. Most pertinent to WiGS participants is the Gender-Science IAT, which "often reveals a relative link between liberal arts and females and between science and males." You have the option of participating either in the demonstration tests or in the research tests.
Part of the reason that these biases are implicit is that they are often biases we don't want to admit or acknowledge to ourselves. To access the tests you must read and agree to a statement saying
I am aware of the possibility of encountering interpretations of my IAT test performance with which I may not agree. Know this, I wish to proceed.
Do you think your results are accurate? Are you surprised or unsurprised by the overall results from everyone who has taken the tests? Have your results forced you to face an aspect of yourself that you are not proud of? Do you think that seeing these results will help you to alleviate your implicit biases?

According to a "liberal" Supreme Court Justice, Roe v Wade was about ....................... I'll let her explain it: "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."""
Ginsberg is just as racist as LBJ was. The plan is to never lose another election because a minimum of 14% of the population will be voting democrat because they are dependent on them.
"These N*****s, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."
"I'll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years." = LBJ, Democratic President of the United States.You have a weakness in logic and history.
If LBJ said said what ChiDim believes, it was only heard by two people. LBJ who is, of course, dead, and the author of a prejudicial book about him who has made a ton of money claiming it.
What everybody knows is that LBJ had the political courage to face up to republicans and pass the most sweeping laws in our history, riding our government of the crime of separate but equal, and granting all of us equal civil rights under the law. Something that our slave owning founding fathers ignored.
That, known by everyone fact, rubs ChiDim the wrong way as he always advocates separate but unequal education based on race.
So, he claims alligiance to an unprovable claim and ignores a well known fact. The tactic of conservatives everywhere.

March 13, 2007 The Darfurians and the SudaneseBy Edward Bernard Glick
Visit almost any American church or college these days, and you will be confronted with pleas to "Save Darfur" - not "Free Tibet" or "Liberate Zimbabwe" - before you have been there very long. The only other cause that resonates with the same intensity is environmentalism, which is a religion for some people.
You will also encounter Darfurism and environmentalism in our synagogues. Not only are the rabbis preaching Eco-Judaism and urging their congregants to join COEJL, the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, but they are equating the tragedy in Darfur with what happened to the Jews of Europe during Hitler's Holocaust. Their mantra is Hillel's famous passage in the Talmud's Sayings of the Fathers:
Darfurism is a an excellent example of the disconnect between word and deed. With some 200,000 Sudanese murdered and at least 2.5 million displaced, made possible in large part by Chinese shipments of arms and material into the area, there is no doubt that genocide is occurring in Darfur. But what should the American people and government do about it? Do the Darfurians want Washington to break relations with Beijing, which is our second largest trading partner and which supplies Americans with the well-made, low-cost goods that they crave and are so eager to buy? Since political pressure, economic sanctions, and moral suasion never work in places like Darfur (as they did not work in Nazi Germany), do the Darfurians want the United States to send in troops? Do they want NATO to send in troops? Do they want the United Nations to send in troops? Do they want the Arab League or the Organization of the Islamic Conference to send in troops? Do they want the Israelis, many of whose recent ancestors were victims of genocide during the Second World War, to go into Darfur? And when these foreign troops arrive, will the Darfurians let them stay long enough to end the genocide? Or will they clamor for their removal as soon as they begin to suffer deaths and heavy casualties? Are those Darfurians who are young enough willing to volunteer for Darfur duty? Do they want others to volunteer? Do they want America to revive conscription - an institution most Darfurians loathe - so that we can have enough soldiers to respond to future Darfurs? The rub is that so many Darfurians (or their parents and professors) hated the U.S. military during the Vietnam war era. So many Darfurians oppose the present war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. And so many of them believe that dispatching American military forces anywhere to solve anything is an example of post-modernist imperialism. To Darfurians the solution to every problem is negotiation. They accept outgoing French President Jacques Chirac's contention that
Both Chirac and the Darfurians forget that sometimes war, even with its resultant death and misery, is the only solution to evil. Both Chirac and the Darfurians forget that soldiers stopped the Muslim Turks at the Battle of Vienna in the seventeenth century, soldiers freed the American colonists from British tyranny in the eighteenth century, soldiers emancipated America's blacks in the nineteenth century, soldiers liberated the remnants of the Holocaust in the twentieth century, and soldiers stand between the State of Israel and its destruction in the twenty-first century. In other words, besides sermonizing from pulpits, writing letters to editors, demonstrating on streets and campuses, and speechifying in Congress, what practical suggestions do the Darfurians have for ending the slaughter in the Sudan? Edward Berndard Glick is Professor Emeritus at Temple University, Philadelphia. on "The Darfurians and the Sudanese"

Don't "fast track" Pope
04/29/11 at 5:56am by Letters Editor | Comments
Kudos to Maureen Dowd for her clear and prescient analysis in "Pope John Paul II doesn't deserve such admiration". While much John Paul did in his early papacy filled Catholics with admiration and hope, his leadership in total was flawed. Support of and "hands-off" attitude toward the corrupt Rev. Marciel Dellago, the Legion of Christ, […]

As a grateful member of the Roman Catholic Church I am once again offended by an editorial by Maureen Dowd, "Pope John Paul II doesn't deserve such admiration". Her vindictive comments about Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI show her lack of respect for The Catholic Church and its Vicar on earth. Ms. […]
Beatification overlooks John Paul II's faults

It is sad indeed that Pope Benedict XVI and the Curia are pressing forward with the Beatification of John Paul II.

Clean Water is the Gift of Life!!
Water is essential for survival above all other resources on earth. Yet, over one billion men,
women and children do not have safe water to drink. Innocent children and desperate families
are living in overcrowded urban ghettos, refugee camps and rural villages of developing
countries. Here, less than 50% of the population has access to safe drinking water, and only
25% have access to sanitary systems.
These precious people do not have enough water to grow and harvest food, to keep livestock
alive or to protect their families from hunger and disease. They simply do not have enough
water to live.
When water is unsafe to drink, an entire community suffers.
Without a sufficient supply of clean water, crops and livestock wither and die. People go
hungry and become weak. Weakness allows disease to run its course, and hunger takes its
toll. Daily, almost 40,000 men, women and children die from diseases related to ingesting
polluted water. A full 80% of fatal childhood diseases worldwide are caused not by shortages
of food and medicine -
but by drinking contaminated water. In many rural communities, women
and children must locate and transport water, leaving little time for pursuing developmental
opportunities or education.
The sad irony is many times there is life-
saving water underground only a short distance away,
but the people lack the tools and knowledge to reach it.
Nothing transforms a community like providing a clean water source for the first time.
Clean water is the lifeblood of these communities.
With it, children become eager to learn while
young men and women are able to produce more income and food. It has the power to stop
the cycle of poverty, and the entire community becomes healthier.
When you think of fighting hunger, you may think only of emergency relief efforts that bring
food. When you think of healing disease, you may think only of doctors, nurses and medicine.
The reality is you can stop hunger, heal disease and save thousands of precious lives with the
simple gift of water.
Providing clean water is truly a life-
saving solution for many. Through your gifts to assistance
programs at WME, we are able to help poor communities find new supplies of clean, life-
sustaining water that gives their people hope for a better future.

Three UW-Richland faculty members are among those engaged in the University of Wisconsin System Faculty College, which this year for the 14th time brought about 100 UW faculty to the Richland Center UW campus. The focus for the May 28-31 program is effective and innovative teaching to
University of Wisconsin-Richland Campus Executive Officer and Dean Dr. Patrick Glenn Hagen has announced the names of students recognized for their academic achievements during the spring 2013 semester which ended in May.
Over 30 new University of Wisconsin-Richland freshmen will begin their UW education this fall with scholarship support from the UW-Richland Scholarship Program. More than 50 new freshmen scholarships have been presented to students from over 20 different schools.
Campus View, the housing facility for University of Wisconsin-Richland students, recently announced plans to expand according to Glen Brown, executive director of Campus View. Plans are to break ground in the fall of 2013.
People may be surprised to learn that of the 13 UW Colleges freshman/sophomore campuses across the state, the University of Wisconsin-Richland attracts the greatest number of international students.
Students, their families and others attending to business matters at the University of Wisconsin-Richland will likely meet Derek Kalish, who joined the UW-Richland Business and Administrative Services department in mid-May as a financial specialist.
Dr. Brandon Fetterly will begin service as associate dean of the University of Wisconsin-Richland starting June 1.
At Graduation and Awards Night ceremonies held May 10 on the University of Wisconsin-Richland campus, service to the campus community and academic achievement were recognized.
Eleven UW-Richland students who are completing their studies at the Richland Center UW campus were awarded scholarships at Graduation and Awards Night on May 10. These awards, totaling over $9,000, are designated for students transferring, going on to complete their bachelor degrees.
A Celebration of the Life honoring the memory of John Symons—familiar to many in the area as the visionary that brought to life Symons Recreation Complex and Campus View housing for UW-Richland students—is planned for 2pm Saturday, June 1, at St.

You can go practice in a raid instance but ofc you need to have people with patience to let you do that. People demanding an achievement won't let you do that and this way you can fail alone without having some asshat mock you or waste the time of 24 people because you couldn't press the Heroic Will button.
ReplyDeleteI never healed on my shammy until raid finder. I'll admit I was undergeared since I was using elemental gear at the time. Now I have almost 10k heal power and top the meters.

2012 Nov 8 - 5:30pm
Sponsored by Lesley University's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences Diversity Committee
Last year, A Child's View of Gaza, a book of Palestinian children's artwork, was slated for exhibition at the Oakland Museum of Children's Art.
However, in September 2011, the art exhibit of children's drawings was banned by the Museum of Children's Art (MOCHA) in Oakland, CA at the last minute, without explanation.
Barbara Lubin, Founder and Executive Director of the Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA), will speak both about the art exhibit itself, the censorship surrounding the exhibit, as well as discuss the conditions on the ground in Gaza.

Much of the artwork in the exhibit was drawn by children participating in Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) "Let the Children Play And Heal" Project. "Let the Children Play and Heal" gives tens of thousands of children and youth in Gaza opportunities to express themselves though art, dance, music, story-telling, theatre and puppetry; to get support from the larger community; and to have fun and just be children. It was developed to address the needs of traumatized children after the 2009 assault on Gaza and provide much needed psychosocial support.

Sometimes love can be found where we least expect it.
When Parker Phillips, a successful attorney, has a confrontation with his friend Ava's abusive boyfriend, he finds himself facing assault and battery charges, and he's ordered to attend an anger management course. Parker, who has never been attracted to a man, is drawn to Dr. Jace Cross, the psychiatrist leading the class. But how can that be, since Parker is straight?
Jace accepted the fact that he was gay many years ago, and he's comfortable in his sexuality, but he's been single for some time now. He throws himself into his work to fill the lonely void.
Although sparks fly whenever they're together, Parker's reluctant to embrace these feelings he has for another man.
Can the sexy doctor help him discover who he truly is?

The only problem with that is being a passenger in the car. Could you imagine being on a road-trip to Florida and not being able to text while your friend is driving? There will never be a perfect legislation for this. Unfortunately, the only way anyone will stop this unsafe act is if they're in an accident.
Yes--you could always do your texting at a rest stop. While driving you could even try 'gasp' conversation with your friend the driver.
BTW I'm not likely to go to Florida--no mountains there.

West side - anyone use D&R Driveline?
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm in the GR area & need to have my front driveshaft rebuilt. I'd like to support a local biz, so have any of you had experience using D&R driveline in Jenison? I searched here & didn't find anything specific to their shop.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks. Randy |

I had them put gears & shafts in a 12-bolt from my Impala. They replaced the pinion yoke with the wrong one. I had to physically take it off from under the car and bring it in and put it on the counter to convince him it was different than the old one. |

Reviews, Interviews , News, Commentaries, My Top 5 Movies, Best-Of Lists, Filmmakers of Faith, Film Forum
Almost every shot in 42, the biopic of Jackie Robinson (the first African-American baseball player in the major leagues) feels like something out of a dream. Everything is soft-lit and gentle, no quick cuts or jarring effects. Each scene ends exactly when writer/director Brian Helgeland knows the scene has achieved its purpose.
And every scene in 42 has a clear purpose. Whether it's to show the baseball great (played by Chadwick Boseman) being a good father and husband, or to show the moral failure of every racist in the movie, or to illustrate the changing reactions of Jackie's teammates, every scene continues until it has delivered the full payload of whatever message Helgeland wants to convey.
What's problematic about this is that each scene is so transparently "meaningful" as to render the individual characters meaningless. They are cutouts trotted onstage to act in not a biopic, but an overarching fable of Racism Is Bad, Y'All. Jackie can't be fully human. To be fully human is to embody weaknesses as well as strengths, and Helgeland seems terrified of complicating matters.
Every racist who isn't just a featured extra is a racist because of individual moral failure, or because of his or her own indoctrination by society. (In one notable scene, a young white child sits in the bleachers and, hearing his parent hurl epithets at Robinson, proceeds to do the same, all the while looking very sad and guilty.) Every upright character in the movie eventually comes around to Jackie's side. And within the context of the film, there's no other possible justification for not wanting baseball to integrate besides "I hate black people."
The meta-narrative presented is that the individual moral evil of racism can be annihilated by the enlightened ideals of tolerance and ethics. And this means that 42 fails in ways that could damage its viewer. In depicting racism as an exclusively moral (rather than systemic) issue, the film alleges that we've beat it.
In this world, racism is only perpetrated by capital-R-Racists, people who chew tobacco, and wear overalls and pinky rings, and say things like "You better learn your place, boy." The problem is that in teaching the audience "These people are racist," the film accidentally reinforces the conception that "Only these people are racist." As long as you don't say things like "I hate black people," you're not racist. Either you are for racism or against racism. But the threshold of "against racism" is very, very low, where pretty much as long as you're not actively not throwing rocks at black people, you're not racist.
Jackie Robinson's story is inspiring and, to the contemporary audience, obviously a tale of good winning out over bigotry and ignorance. It doesn't need to be propped up by ad hominem attacks on people who opposed him or by so strongly polarizing the issue. The film seems almost insecure. It's afraid that if Robinson isn't portrayed as a perfect paragon of restraint and class, if he ever once cracks, then the entire argument falls apart. This is disrespectful to both history and to Robinson himself. Making the story some race-themed fairy tale makes it seem like it isn't strong enough to stand on its own.

While I'm not an expert or baseball scholar, I've had a deep interest in the history of baseball, and have been an avid reader of historical accounts of the game's past. The author makes some statements that arouse my curiosity, and make me wonder if he ever looked into the history behind this movie. "within the context of the film, there's no other possible justification for not wanting baseball to integrate besides "I hate black people." " If someone has insight into any other reason for not wanting to integrate baseball (other than, "that's that many more people who will be after my job"), I'd be happy to hear it. It would be a first, as far as I can tell. "every scene in 42 has a clear purpose". I'm not a student of film, but is this not true of every scene in every movie? It appears to me that directors are soundly criticized when scenes DON'T seem to have a clear purpose. But I may have missed his point here. "or to illustrate the changing reactions of Jackie's teammates" Being an important part of the story, what's the problem with this? "It's afraid that if Robinson isn't portrayed as a perfect paragon of restraint and class, if he ever once cracks, then the entire argument falls apart. This is disrespectful to both history and to Robinson himself." Well, that's pretty much how it really was. Branch Rickey knew, and convinced Robinson, that one publicly bad reaction/response to the hatred and abuse could easily bring the whole thing down, because much of the baseball (and other) public would then say, "See, those Negroes - - that's just how they are." Robinson surely wasn't a PERFECT paragon of restraint and class, but, publicly, he had to be very nearly so . . . and, by all accounts, WAS very nearly so, until it was established that the game worked just fine with black players involved.
Lane Cohee
One of the largest subplots of the movie centers on Branch Rickey's motivation for bringing Robinson into the league. While, in certain places, he rather candidly confesses his overriding desire for a pennant and "green", it becomes patently clear throughout that there is much more motivating him; not the least being a fundamental belief in the model of Christ and his associated view of humanity. In a day in which we normally clamor for the "good guy" to associate himself with the Savior, it's amazing to me that the reviewer totally ignores the overt (albeit imperfect) spiritual dimension....and the absense of the standard "demonization" of all Christians (or even all southerners for that matter) with regard to race relations. I'm left with the conclusion that I saw a very different movie than the reviewer did, and would encourage anyone to check it out for themselves.
Timothy Beirne
I wonder about the worldview of this review. I know that God has spoken to us through the prophets about social injustice and that would include systemic racism, but Galatians chapter five tells us that the acts of the sinful nature include: "hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy (NIV84)." That's what real racism is all about. I absolutely loved "42". Granted, the film was very simple and straightforward, but so is my personal battle with racism. Do I side with my Savior, love my neighbor as myself, turn the other cheek or do I give way to my lower nature? Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey reminded me that the love of God is sacrificing and redemptive and my Lord has called me to take up His cross. Some things are simple and straightforward, and there is a beauty in that as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed 42 and I didn't find it simplistic at all, nor did I feel like they were trying to cast Jackie Robinson as a perfect person. I think that they had a daunting task of highlighting a lot of ugly into 2 hours. I think the scene with the little boy and his father is very telling. One minute, it's a perfect father/son moment. The next, it's filled with hate. That's how people are. Not all bad and not all good.
I am a retired, white minister who participated in the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi in the 1960's where on one occasion I nearly lost my life to the Klan. I have seen 42. I hope the author of this review is young and has had little experience with racism and therefore still has much to learn. In this article he writes very much like he doesn't understand the problem. Evangelical Christians, at the time, did not believe the Gospel had anything to do with segregation and many believed integration was wrong. This film will help evangelicals who were born during or after the 1960's what racism was and still is about.
