Georges Braque (French: [bʁak]; 13 May 1882 – 31 August 1963) was a major 20th-century French painter and sculptor who, along with Pablo Picasso, developed the art style known as Cubism.
Early life[edit]
Georges Braque was born on 13 May 1882, in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise. He grew up in Le Havre and trained to be a house painter and decorator like his father and grandfather. However, he also studied artistic painting during evenings at the École des Beaux-Arts, in Le Havre, from about 1897 to 1899. In Paris, he apprenticed with a decorator and was awarded his certificate in 1902. The next year, he attended the Académie Humbert, also in Paris, and painted there until 1904. It was here that he met Marie Laurencin and Francis Picabia.
His earliest works were impressionistic, but after seeing the work exhibited by the artistic group known as the "Fauves" (Beasts) in 1905, Braque adopted a Fauvist style. The Fauves, a group that included Henri Matisse and André Derain among others, used brilliant colors to represent emotional response. Braque worked most closely with the artists Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, who shared Braque's hometown of Le Havre, to develop a somewhat more subdued Fauvist style. In 1906, Braque traveled with Friesz to L'Estaque, to Antwerp, and home to Le Havre to paint.
In May 1907, he successfully exhibited works of the Fauve style in the Salon des Indépendants. The same year, Braque's style began a slow evolution as he became influenced by Paul Cézanne, who had died in 1906, and whose works were exhibited in Paris for the first time in a large-scale, museum-like retrospective in September 1907. The 1907 Cézanne retrospective at the Salon d'Automne greatly affected the avant-garde artists of Paris, resulting in the advent of Cubism.
Braque's paintings of 1908–1913 reflected his new interest in geometry and simultaneous perspective. He conducted an intense study of the effects of light and perspective and the technical means that painters use to represent these effects, seeming to question the most standard of artistic conventions. In his village scenes, for example, Braque frequently reduced an architectural structure to a geometric form approximating a cube, yet rendered its shading so that it looked both flat and three-dimensional by fragmenting the image. He showed this in the painting Houses at l'Estaque.
Beginning in 1909, Braque began to work closely with Pablo Picasso, who had been developing a similar proto-Cubist style of painting. At the time, Pablo Picasso was influenced by Gauguin, Cézanne, African masks and Iberian sculpture, while Braque was interested mainly in developing Cézanne's ideas of multiple perspectives. "A comparison of the works of Picasso and Braque during 1908 reveals that the effect of his encounter with Picasso was more to accelerate and intensify Braque's exploration of Cézanne's ideas, rather than to divert his thinking in any essential way."[1] Braque's essential subject is the ordinary objects he has known practically forever. Picasso celebrates animation, while Braque celebrates contemplation.[2] Thus, the invention of Cubism was a joint effort between Picasso and Braque, then residents of Montmartre, Paris. These artists were the style's main innovators. After meeting in October or November 1907,[3] Braque and Picasso, in particular, began working on the development of Cubism in 1908. Both artists produced paintings of monochromatic color and complex patterns of faceted form, now termed Analytic Cubism.
A decisive time of its development occurred during the summer of 1911,[4] when Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso painted side by side in Céret in the French Pyrenees, each artist producing paintings that are difficult—sometimes virtually impossible—to distinguish from those of the other. In 1912, they began to experiment with collage and Braque invented the papier collé technique.[5]
French art critic Louis Vauxcelles used the terms "bizarre cubiques" in 1908 after seeing a picture by Braque. He described it as 'full of little cubes'. The term 'Cubism', first pronounced in 1911 with reference to artists exhibiting at the Salon des Indépendants, quickly gained wide use but Picasso and Braque did not adopt it initially. Art historian Ernst Gombrich described Cubism as "the most radical attempt to stamp out ambiguity and to enforce one reading of the picture—that of a man-made construction, a colored canvas."[6] The Cubist style spread quickly throughout Paris and then Europe.
" | The things that Picasso and I said to one another during those years will never be said again, and even if they were, no one would understand them anymore. It was like being roped together on a mountain. | " |
The two artists' productive collaboration continued and they worked closely together until the beginning of World War I in 1914, when Braque enlisted with the French Army. In May 1915, Braque received a severe head injury in battle at Carency and suffered temporary blindness.[9] He was trepanned, and required a long period of recuperation.
Later work[edit]
Braque resumed painting in late 1916. Working alone, he began to moderate the harsh abstraction of cubism. He developed a more personal style characterized by brilliant color, textured surfaces, and—after his relocation to the Normandy seacoast—the reappearance of the human figure. He painted many still life subjects during this time, maintaining his emphasis on structure. One example of this is his 1943 work Blue Guitar, which hangs in the Allen Memorial Art Museum.[10] During his recovery he became a close friend of the cubist artist Juan Gris.
He continued to work during the remainder of his life, producing a considerable number of paintings, graphics, and sculptures. Braque, along with Matisse, is credited for introducing Pablo Picasso to Fernand Mourlot, and most of the lithographs and book illustrations he himself created during the 1940s and '50s were produced at the Mourlot Studios. In 1962, Braque worked with master printmaker Aldo Crommelynck to create his series of etchings and aquatints titled "L'Ordre des Oiseaux" ("The Order of Birds"),[11] which was accompanied by the poet Saint-John Perse's text.[12]
Braque died on 31 August 1963, in Paris. He is buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Valery in Varengeville-sur-Mer, Normandy, whose windows he designed. Braque's work is in most major museums throughout the world.
Braque believed that an artist experienced beauty "… in terms of volume, of line, of mass, of weight, and through that beauty [he] interpret[s] [his] subjective impression..."[13] He described "objects shattered into fragments… [as] a way of getting closest to the object…Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space".[14] He adopted a monochromatic and neutral color palette in the belief that such a palette would emphasize the subject matter.
Although Braque began his career painting landscapes, during 1908 he, alongside Picasso, discovered the advantages of painting still lifes instead. Braque explained that he "… began to concentrate on still-lifes, because in the still-life you have a tactile, I might almost say a manual space… This answered to the hankering I have always had to touch things and not merely see them… In tactile space you measure the distance separating you from the object, whereas in visual space you measure the distance separating things from each other. This is what led me, long ago, from landscape to still-life"[15] A still life was also more accessible, in relation to perspective, than landscape, and permitted the artist to see the multiple perspectives of the object. Braque's early interest in still lifes revived during the 1930s.
During the period between the wars, Braque exhibited a freer style of Cubism, intensifying his color use and a looser rendering of objects. However, he still remained committed to the cubist method of simultaneous perspective and fragmentation. In contrast to Picasso, who continuously reinvented his style of painting, producing both representational and cubist images, and incorporating surrealist ideas into his work, Braque continued in the Cubist style, producing luminous, other-worldly still life and figure compositions. By the time of his death in 1963, he was regarded as one of the elder statesmen of the School of Paris, and of modern art.
2010 theft[edit]
On 20 May 2010, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris reported the overnight theft of five paintings from its collection. The paintings taken were Le pigeon aux petits pois (The Pigeon with the Peas) by Pablo Picasso, La Pastorale by Henri Matisse, L'Olivier Près de l'Estaque (Olive Tree near Estaque) by Georges Braque, La Femme à l'Éventail (fr) (Woman with a Fan) by Amedeo Modigliani and Nature Morte aux Chandeliers (Still Life with Chandeliers) by Fernand Léger and were valued at €100 million ( $123 million USD).[16][17] A window had been smashed and CCTV footage showed a masked man taking the paintings.[16] Authorities believe the thief acted alone.[18] The man carefully removed the paintings from their frames, which he left behind.[19]

Loading... The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (2012)by Rachel Joyce
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. The pacing of the novel was slow,...matching Harold's painfully long journey. The incremental nature of the physical journey echoed the incremental unfolding of past secrets, wrongs and the incredible struggles faced by Harold and his wife, Maureen. Harold's hapless, terrible parenting initially irritated, even angered me: I couldn't get past his weakness to care about what changes he might now be making in his life. But Joyce does a good job slowly building sympathy for characters who might otherwise be written off by the reader. An usual story with a few twists along the way. Once you accept the premise then the story flows quite well. I thought a couple of things were too unrealistic, but hey it is fiction. Worth reading. Harold Fry is convinced that he must deliver a letter to an old love in order to save her, meeting various characters along the way and reminiscing about the events of his past and people he has known, as he tries to find peace and acceptance. My book club selected this one for a monthly read. I thought The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry was sort of shallowly written, kind of predictable, and not as realistic as I might have liked. Harold receives a brief note from Queenie, whom he hasn't seen or spoken to in twenty years. She is in a hospice in the north of England. She wants to say good-bye. Harold responds by writing a brief note of sympathy. He sets off to post his reply but what with one thing and another he passes first one post-box, then another, then another. Finally, he resolves that the only response that will suffice is one that he delivers in person. He owes Queenie that much. And without thinking about it too much he just keeps walking. Unfortunately, Harold has set out from the village of Kingsbridge in the far Southwest of England. It is going to be rather a long walk to Berwick-upon-Tweed – more than 600 miles away. But that doesn't matter. After 65 years Harold knows he simply has to do this. Queenie needs it. He adds a postscript to his letter of response alerting Queenie that he is walking up to meet her and that she should hold on until he gets there. Thus begins Harold's unlikely pilgrimage. Joyce's episodic first novel begins in a suitably abstract and unemotional manner. It rather reminded me of the writing of Magnus Mills. That she is unable to sustain that tone or manner may stem from this being a first novel. Or it may be the pressure to turn Harold's journey into something symbolic, something momentous, something burdened by its own self-aware Christian allegory eventually becomes overwhelming. Certainly the writing begins to slide when it migrates from the fixated stare of unthinking Harold on the road. Soon enough Harold is becoming self-reflective about the meaning of his journey. And that's when his unlikely journey becomes unlikeable. It's too bad, really, as there was a great deal of potential here. Perhaps though this first novel was a bit of a pilgrimage for Rachel Joyce as well and we might well expect something with enough inner character to finish well on her next outing. I would certainly not be averse to taking another chance on her.
Ultimately, the success of Joyce's writing depends less on the credibility (or otherwise) of what actually happens, so much as her unerring ability to convey profound emotions in simple, unaffected language. Here, for example, is Harold contemplating the gulf that opened up between himself and his wife following the birth of their son: "It both deepened his love for her and lifted her apart, so that just at the moment when he thought their marriage would intensify, it seemed to lose its way, or at least set them in different places." And, appropriately for a novel inspired by loss, it contains a brilliant summation of grief – not expressed by Harold, but by his neighbour Rex (Bunyan called him Plausible), who is gradually coming to terms with the death of his wife: "I miss her all the time. I know in my head that she has gone. the only difference is that I am getting used to the pain. It's like discovering a great hole in the ground. To begin with, you forget it's there and keep falling in. After a while, it's still there, but you learn to walk round it." Joyce's novel is prone to sentimentality, while the overpoweringly good intentions of its hero can seem a little pious. But there's no doubt that it's an original, quietly courageous testament to the inhuman effort of being normal. Very rarely, you come upon a novel that feels less like a book than a poignant passage of your own life, and the protagonist like an acquaintance who has gently corrected your path. Never mind that the protagonist possesses all the realism of a painted clown and his tale the moral fibre of a fable. Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry starts off in just this way. A rumpled retiree determines to walk 500 miles, believing his hope-filled steps will keep his dying friend alive. The premise seems quaint and predictable, but morphs gracefully into a smart, subtle, funny, painful, weirdly personal novel. The unlikely but lovable hero of Rachel Joyce's remarkable debut novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, doesn't call his walk a pilgrimage. He never even calls it a hike, which would suggest planning, a map and hiking boots, all of which Harold lacks....Pilgrimage, one of the 12 novels just long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, Britain's top literary award, is a gentle adventure with an emotional wallop. It's a smart, feel-good story that doesn't feel forced. "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" is not just a book about lost love. It is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other. "The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other," ........The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" takes its opening epigraph from John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." It takes the stirring spirituality of its ending from Bunyan too. In between Ms. Joyce's book loosely parallels "The Pilgrim's Progress" at times, but it is very much a story of present-day courage. She writes about how easily a mousy, domesticated man can get lost and how joyously he can be refound. Joyce slowly reveals what he has to walk away from, and there are some surprises. His progress is measured in memories as well as miles; memories of parents who didn't want him, and of the early days of his marriage and his only son David's childhood. There are a few lapses in the story—events and characters that come along at convenient moments—but Joyce captures Harold's emotions with a tidiness of words that is at times thrilling. It's a trip worth taking.

Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0812993292, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, July 2012: Harold Fry--retired sales rep, beleaguered husband, passive observer of his own life--decides one morning to walk 600 miles across England to save an old friend. It might not work, mind you, but that's hardly the point. In playwright Rachel Joyce's pitch-perfect first novel, Harold wins us over with his classic antiheroism. Setting off on the long journey, he wears the wrong jacket, doesn't have a toothbrush, and leaves his phone at home--in short, he is wholly, endearingly unprepared. But as he travels, Harold finally has time to reflect on his failings as a husband, father, and friend, and this helps him become someone we (and, more important, his wife Maureen) can respect. After walking for a while in Harold Fry's very human shoes, you might find that your own fit a bit better. --Mia Lipman(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:23:36 -0400) Harold Fry is convinced that he must deliver a letter to an old love in order to save her, meeting various characters along the way and reminiscing about the events of his past and people he has known, as he tries to find peace and acceptance. |

Five great Mother's Day tech gifts under $100
Flowers are all well and good this Mother's Day, but let's face it: they're ephemeral. And cliche. And not terribly practical. That's probably why a recent survey showed that moms covet tech gear nearly as much as they do spa trips and jewelry.
If you want to get Mom something that's useful, entertaining, and long-lasting, look no further than the tech department. I've rounded up five gadgets, all priced below $100, that should make Mom a happy camper this year -- and on into next.

I found your company first on eBay then I bought parts directly from your site. I probably wouldn't have a running car if not for Prime Choice! I couldn't afford everything to fix the suspension from any other place but your prices are so amazing. Thank you, Rielle Wright
I just wanted to compliment your company on great service, communication, shipping and products. The purchase I made just recently arrived lightning quick. I was surprised because I placed the order almost too late to give you a chance to get it here when I needed it. But the order made it. I also worked with a couple of your folks on an ordering problem and they were very helpful. I will definitely try to call on you again for future orders. Thanks a lot, Marty Lawson Harrodsburg KY.
Hi. Thank you for your refund, your professionalism and fast response. I am very satisfied. I plan on purchasing new wipers for both my vehicles and will plan on getting them from you. Also if your product is as good as they look I will inform my associates I work with - 250+ of your product. Thank you again and I look forward to dealing with you in the near future. Sincerely, Paul Horniak
I ordered two sensors for my car. You sent me a confirmation and let me know that it had shipped. I PAID NO SHIPPING. You are the best. I am 59 and I appreciate the way you do business. To be a good customer should I tell everyone about you or just spend lots of money? Danny C. Graybeal
Half the price of anyone else. Very good quality parts and the how-to videos really helped. It took me about an hour to replace both front struts. Thanks and Regards, Jack Farmersville, Ohio
Thanks so much for the awesome service – WOW - I will be putting the parts on tonight – WOW Thanks so much, James F, Chicago, Ill
Strut Assembly and Brakes. Well you are right - half the price, good quality and excellent service. You were so inexpensive I was suspicious. Everyone told me don't do it - go local. Well they are the loser and I am so thrilled. The job went well and I saved over 500 dollars. Thanks!! I am spreading the word. A Grandmother with guts, Sue R Berlin, MA
Thanks for the great service! The parts arrived as promised and fit like a glove (also as promised). The instructions that were included made it relatively easy for me to do the work myself. That saved me over $300 on labor. Unfortunately my regular mechanic believes only KYB makes shocks and struts! I would recommend you to anyone and have! Thanks, again! It's been a pleasure doing business with you! Wil G, Bedford TX
I ordered parts yesterday and got them this morning. Installed them and just need the rear bearings now. Jesse Chard

This is a great online parts store. I have ordered parts for 3 different vehicles and every parts was right on and the quality and price are second to none. The service is better than most local stores. PRIME CHOICE IS MY CHOICE for all of the parts they can supply me. Kevin Donais
got an excellent deal on rotors and brake pads thank you!!! Chuck Derby
Recently my 2003 Dodge Blazer fuel pump needed replacing. Me and my husband looked around everywhere and the cheapest fuel pump we could find was 240 dollars. We found your website and was unsure about purchasing a fuel pump from you considering that it was less than half the price of everywhere else as well as being online which would result in us not being able to actually see the part until it was delivered to us. Nevertheless, we figured "what would it hurt" and purchased the part anyway. I have to give you all compliments. Not only did the part arrive at a reasonable time but it was the right part without any flaws.

Your vehicle requires oxygen to operate. An internal combustion engine requires the perfect mixture of oxygen and gasoline to provide the force used to power the engine. Engineers began to realize over time that the oxygen entering the engine can actually cause serious harm due to excess particles that were in the air. Modern cars and trucks are equipped with an automotive air filter to clean the air before it enters the combustion chambers. This limits harmful particles from entering into your engine, which act as abrasives on the metal parts. Regular maintenance on your vehicle's engine air filter will increase the life expectancy of your vehicle and save you from expensive maintenance costs in the future.
How often your car or truck requires an air filter replacement will vary, depending on a number of factors. Your vehicle's owner manual may recommend changing it after 50,000 miles, but many mechanics and dealerships will recommend changing it before then. If your vehicle experiences hard city driving, or is exposed to excess dirt and dust from the geography or construction, you may want to change it much sooner. It is very simple to perform an inspection on your engine air filter, so you may want to consider doing so every 10,000 miles just to be on the safe side. If you are in need of an automotive engine air filter, Prime Choice Auto Parts has you covered.

Dear Dianne: Stop Insulting America's Sixth Graders
by Eileen | 11:30 am, March 18, 2013
And, while you're at it, go f*** yourself with an extended magazine. You bilious old moose. Oh, Dianne Feinstein, America's precious little child, she who gets more and more thin skinned with each passing term in the Senate. Dianne epitomizes that breed who go into a field known for being markedly insensitive to feelings and [...]
It's Been a Weird Day in a Good Way: Two Court Rulings Represent Hope for Privacy
by Eileen | 7:06 pm, March 15, 2013
In one day, two major court decisions have put Executive overreach on the defensive and given civil liberty advocates momentum. In California, a federal judge held that National Security Letters, with their built-in gag orders, are unconstitutional. (Decision, here.) Meanwhile, federal courts also reinstated an ACLU lawsuit challenging the CIA's 'Glomar' response of targeted drone [...]
This Could be Promising
by Eileen | 5:00 pm, March 7, 2013
I've already tossed up a longer post about what's so very wrong with GOP dinosaurs getting their panties all twisted about yesterday's filibuster. But here are two hopeful signs. 1. During the filibuster, RNC Chair Reince Preibus publicly urged all Republican members to go to the Senate floor and "help out" 2. Senate Minority Leader [...]

Holder's First Letter to Paul Precipitates the Best Filibuster Ever

We are into the 13th hour of a filibuster to demand accountability from Barack Obama on drone killings. At this moment, I feel better about the state of the Union and the hope for this nation than I have in years. I adore the concept of the filibuster and I am downright lovin' this particular [...]
One Flimsy White House Promise and a Classified Vote Later, And We Have A New CIA Director
by Eileen | 4:32 pm, March 5, 2013
The last public news on John Brennan, Barack Obama's pick to head the CIA, was weeks ago, when his public confirmation hearing was held. In short, Code Pink made fools of themselves, Brennan lied, committee chair Dianne Feinstein lied and made a fool of herself, and there was posturing all around. In other words, all went according [...]
Refusing to Let DHS Ignore the Constitution: The Mastermix

Supreme Courts Blesses Warrantless Surveillance of Citizens in a Kafkaesque Farce
by Eileen | 9:40 pm, February 26, 2013
In a 5-4 ruling with Alito writing for the majority, SCOTUS upheld warrantless wiretaps of Americans, provided the government states it has a good faith belief the citizen is speaking to a foreign national involved in terrorism. Plainly, provided they can keep a straight face while claiming they thought your pen pal was an al'Qaeda [...]
May a Very Nudgy Death Find Cass Sunstein (For His Own Good, I Assure You)

Zombie CISPA Walks Among Us, and Counting on a Presidential Veto is Folly

CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, is back. In the last Congress, House Intelligence Chair Mike Rogers (R-MI) and ranking member Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) introduced the bill and got it through the House. After that, the Senate ignored it.

I often find myself wanting to make lists of a lot of stuff, but I also wonder how it can fit into my GTD system as well. In particular, how can I fit a list of daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and yearly lists into my GTD system Using a daily list is simple as you go through this list everyday and mentally check off what you've done and then mentally erase it for the next day. But how do you use a weekly or monthly list You can't really mentally check off stuff to do, because the chances are you probably won't remember if it has been a month on your check list and if it is time to wash your car again. I've heard about 'sciral consistency' but how can I do this paper-based Any ideas Also how can I incorporate these lists into my system Should I just throw them into my inbox and leave them there so I process them everyday I need your help to figure out a good solution. Here is my GTD system that I want this to fit into. Sorry for writing so much!
My GTD System
- Hipster PDA I use a several index cards bound by a binder clip (also referred to as a Hipster PDA) for my ubiquitous capture tool or device. I have this accessible to me at all times throughout the day and write down any thoughts or ideas I might have. I usually write one thought or idea per card and I throw the cards I have used into my inbox when I get the opportunity.
- Processing the Inbox I then take a look at my inbox which consists of my planner, checkbook, my index cards stripped from my Hipster PDA, and receipts. I process my inbox after school (and sometimes work) and the items I need to keep STAY in the inbox. I throw away the index cards after I have completed that thought or task.
- The important dates I write down on the index cards (test dates, job interviews, rental return dates, etc.) get put into my 30Boxes calendar. I then throw these processed cards into the trash bin I have sitting beside my computer.
- My projects and ideas that are written down on to the index cards are kept in my inbox.
- When I get to the receipts kept in my inbox, I quickly pull my checkbook out from the inbox and balance it. I throw away the receipts afterwards. Simple and easy.
As you can see, I have no clue what to do with my projects and ideas. I have items in my inbox right now such as:
- Apply for JSU (college)
- Get grandma's 18$ that she owes me
- Apply for Selective Service ( I just turned 18 )
- Get better at typing (Goal 100 words per minute)
- Minimize my room
- Get new tires for car
- Straighten up car
- Call work about longer shifts
- Install CD player in Car
- Organize Backpack & School stuff
- Need more bank deposit slips ( i ran out )
I haven't the slightest idea of how to organize these. I can tell you right now, I don't like the Next Actions folder idea. It seems so undefined yet demanding. Like it defines something as your NEXT ACTION but I know that isn't the case because you can't set something as your next action because life throws you twist and curves. I want something more general like Things To Do or Goals. Something more simple yet effective in its words would be nice. But I don't know where to start. I want to set up a filing system for my inbox into things like 'Goals' and 'Things To Do' and such but I want labels that can pretty much cover anything I put into my inbox. I don't want to be stuck saying stuff like Well.... this is kind of like an idea but kind of like a goal but also a project at the same time.
Happy Holidays,

The Maroon Vol. XXIX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, May 3, 1963 No. 19 Federal Going Over... Lt. Col. L. T. Ayers gives the federal inspection once over to Pershing Rifle cadet Ernest Ayo at the annual ROTC federal inspection held April 25. Lt. Col. Ayers was a member of the inspection team from the 4th Army that was dispatched to inspect the units in the 4th Army area. The cadet battalion passed the rain shortened inspection with high honors. The inspection team not only looked at the students, but also the teachers, their records, and the ROTC facilities here. Council Accepts Voting Results; Cancels Next Week's Meeting Student Council At its regular Tuesday meeting, the Student Council moved to accept the first balloting results of this week's elections held to select next year's Council representatives. It also ratified the runoff elections held yesterday and today between Eric Timmreck and Frank Wagar, and between Ronald Carr and Stephen Fennell for the respective presidents of the schools of A&S and dentistry. The Council moved upon several other matters while in session, among them were the following:Next week's Council meeting was voted to be dispensed with, due to conflict resulting from the Council's scheduled banquet. It was decided that induction of new Council members would be postponed until a later date to be set by the Council. Fred Cardwell of the student recommendations committee presented a report on the possibilities of Tulane and Loyola scheduling joint double-header programs in their future basketball seasons. As a part of this arrangement, Loyola would play a visiting team "A" and Tulane another visiting team "B" on the same evening. On the following night both Loyola and Tulane would switch opponents. In presenting discussion for his recommendation, Cardwell stated that the Rev. R. L. Boggs, S.J., dean of students, had signed his report in favor of such action, and that the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of the university, was said to be in favor of such an idea. Cardwell also added that after speaking with Coach Bill Gardiner, he found the coach receptive to su#h an idea due to the new fans and interest such a program would bring. However, the coach stated several factors which would be unfavorable to such a policy. First, due to the combined enrollment of students at boht universitys both Loyola fieldhouse and Tulane gym would be filled with students not required to pay admission, thus there would be a loss of money and both schools would be unable to meet the $1,000 guaranteed to each visiting team. In addition, Gardiner sighted that the very nearness of the two schools would inevitably cause dissention, disagreement, and even fighting between them. In view of these facts, the Council formally recommended that the next Student Council carry on the investigation of this idea, with Cardwell as chairman. Dean Asks All A&S's To Pre-Up Students should pre-register for the next school semester advised the Rev. Edward A. Doyle, S.J., dean of the college of arts and sciences.

Happy comedy. Turn please to ... page 3 • If The Maroon is on the stands by deadline you should have about an hour left to vote for president of the college of arts and sciences; there was a tie earlier in the week.

But before you do, why not read up on the candidates' qualifications and platforms on . . . page 4 • Loyola coeds expressed their opinions about the chic way to dress on campus in a "Mademoiselle" magazine fashion poll conducted by pharmacy major Andra Capaci. The results are intriguing, but don't take our word for it.

"This bread is wonderful and sweet. Omit the raisins for just a plain good cinnamon bread."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3/4 cup raisins
I liked it, but was a little bland. I'm going to try with more cin. & sugar. It does make a nice toast.
We didn't care for it - if I make it again, I will add more cinnamon and sugar.

Hooker Lake at the base of Mount Cook is a wonderful location for photographing the looking mountains and icebergs. Unfortunately there was no cloud in the sky but the atmosphere was nonetheless magical. That water is super cold too!

Dominica is a hilly, green and volcanic island known as " The Nature Island of the Caribbean" due to the varied plant and wildlife found within its extensive national park system and its assortment of geo-thermal attractions. The largest and most mountainous of the Windward Islands offers a landscape of waterfalls, hot springs and boiling lakes in addition to rustic coastal villages.
Dominica's black sand beaches reduce its desirability for beach lovers although Dominica is increasingly renowned for its scuba diving.Dominica is a fusion of British, French and West Indian cultures, and is home to the Eastern Caribbean's largest Carib Indian community. Many of Dominica's 70,000 are Catholic and Creole speakers.Dominica was the last of the Caribbean islands to be colonized by Europeans, due to the resistance of the native Caribs. France ceded possession to Britain in 1763, who made the island a colony in 1805. Dominica achieved its independence from Britain in 1978. After two years of a corrupt administration, Dominica's fortunes changed when Mary Eugenia Charles, the first female prime minister in the Caribbean took office.Dominica is one of the poorest and least developed Caribbean islands. With no massive resorts on the island, Dominicans survive through fishing or agriculture. Road access to much of the island is limited and there are few road signs.Dominica is positioned between the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe and measures 754 sq km/1,945 sq m.

Social media is a great thing for our business. We are connecting to more consumers than ever. It's all fine and dandy. However, is what you portray online the real you?
Recently, I attended a #tweetup. There were a lot of social media "experts." Nowadays, who isn't an expert? Many of the people in attendance I had connected with in Twitter and felt as if I really knew them.
The first person I had the pleasure of meeting was Teresa Boardman. I had been connected to her for a couple of years but had never met her in person. The first thing she told me is, "You look exactly like you do in your avatar." I felt confused and glad at the same time. I said, "That's a good thing, right?"
This made me think of issue #1 in your social media. Don't have a fake, glamourshots-style photo of yourself. While we all want to look good and our best, people should be able to recognize you in person. It's generally a bad idea to have pictures that only show half of your face or give the impression that you are some supermodel.
When I first signed up for Twitter, I had an avatar of myself wearing big sunglasses that I called my "pimp" picture. Luckily, Greg Sax gave me gave me advice telling me to change my picture. I was glad I took his advice and changed my picture. More People started to recognize me more in public.
Another thing I noticed at this #tweetup, was that many people acted very different. Some seemed very shy. Some seemed like a completely different person that what I had originally thought. I was very outgoing and made an attempt to talk to everyone in the room. Many in attendance hardly moved around even though most of us were connected in some social platform. I didn't get it.

A single injection of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketorolac shows superiority over corticosteroid injections in the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome, according to a double-blind, randomized study presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) 2011 Annual Meeting.
Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment for subacromial impingement syndrome; however, they are associated with some adverse effects, including tendon rupture, subcutaneous atrophy, and changes to articular cartilage. Previous research has shown, meanwhile, that NSAID injections also have efficacy in treating such patients.
In an effort to compare the two treatment approaches, researchers enrolled 48 patients diagnosed with isolated external shoulder impingement syndrome.
The patients were randomly assigned to receive either a single injection of 6 cc of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine and 40 mg triamcinolone or 6 cc of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine and 60 mg ketorolac.
Improvement was assessed according to the University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Assessment Score, and the results at a 4-week follow-up visit showed that patients in both treatment groups had increased range of motion and decreased pain.
The mean improvement in the assessment score for the NSAID group, however, was 7.15 compared with just 2.13 in the steroid group (P = .03).
The NSAID group showed an increase in forward flexion strength (NSAID, 0.26; steroid, −0.07; P = .04) and improved patient satisfaction over the steroid group.
"These results demonstrate that both groups had good immediate response. However, only the NSAID group had a sustained response," said lead author Kyong Su Min, MD, from the Madigan Healthcare System in Tacoma, Washington.
"Two clinically important and pertinent advantages of NSAID injections are that there is no reported tissue atrophy or cartilage damage with NSAID injections, and the injections are not limited by frequency," he added.
The relief provided by the subacromial injection of both ketorolac and triamcinolone is believed to result from the drugs' local anti-inflammatory effect, he noted.
Ketorolac injections are often used in settings such as college athletics because of their robust pain-relieving properties, said Christian Lattermann, MD, an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine from the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
"They are extremely powerful and have been used a lot in college sports as a pain medication because of their extremely strong anti-inflammatory effect," explained Dr. Lattermann, who is director of the university's Center for Cartilage Repair and Restoration Medical Center.
Although sparing patients some of the adverse effects of corticosteroid injections, however, the treatment is not without some adverse effects of its own, he cautioned.
"Ketorolac injections are not completely without side effects. They can cause bleeding, and you also have to make sure the kidneys are okay before using them, for instance. In addition, patients cannot take oral NSAIDs while they're receiving injections, so those are some down sides," he noted.
"If someone has a gastric ulcer, you shouldn't use it, and it's not entirely clear whether, in those high of doses, it is more or less detrimental to the rotary cuff than cortisone," Dr. Lattermann stated.
The study is valuable, however, in demonstrating ketorolac's potential efficacy in comparison to corticosteroid injections.
"I think it's a valid study and a very interesting idea and suggests ketorolac may be a useful alternative, particularly if corticosteroid treatment failed," Dr. Lattermann.
The study's authors and Dr. Lattermann have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

UPDATE: 2/14 at 1:28 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Advocates for the poor in Wisconsin are questioning whether Gov. Scott Walker's plan to move more people off of state Medicaid plans and onto a federal marketplace where they will purchase private insurance will work as promised.
Walker says the plan he unveiled Wednesday will result in about 5,000 fewer people being on Medicaid, but increase the overall number covered by insurance by 224,580. Those people would purchase their coverage through the federally run health insurance exchange and not be covered by Medicaid.
But Bobby Peterson, head of the public interest law firm ABC for Health, said Thursday the poorest people kicked out of Medicaid will have a hard time affording even the $19 a month coverage under the exchange.
Peterson says people like them will lose insurance coverage.
ORIGINAL STORY: 2/13 at 9:16 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Republican Gov. Scott Walker says he won't expand Wisconsin's Medicaid services to 175,000 childless adults as the federal health care overhaul law allows.
Instead, Walker announced Wednesday a hybrid approach that he says will drop the state's uninsured non-elderly adults from 14 percent to 7 percent.
Walker's plan would tighten the income threshold to qualify for Medicaid, but also lift the cap on a program that covers childless adults. He says the net effect would insure 224,580 more people.
Walker was among the last Republican governors to decide whether to move forward with the expansion. Six Republican governors have agreed to the Medicaid expansion.
Wisconsin's hospitals and many medical and health advocacy groups had urged Walker to accept the federal money to pay for the expansion of services.

I actually just bought a scaled replica of the Boba Fett helmet from Master replicas for only 50 bucks, pretty cheap compared to the other ones i've seen.

The scaled helmets aren't full sized helmet, though. The one that Master Replica's is putting out pretty soon is actually in .45 scale (about half-sized).

Although, they are putting out a full size helmet, supposedly later in the year. But that's what they said last year, as well. We can only hope and see.
I think BFrules2663 wanted one that his kid could play with and wear.

Three keys to solid strikes (I)
By Kim Jeong-kyoo
I had a marvellous weekend playing golf near Pohang city in the latter part of last March. Despite fierce gales persistently blowing all day long, I really enjoyed myself on a fantastic golf course that commands a beautiful ocean view. The howling wind deprived me of the concentration and balance necessary to play my best, but nothing could discourage me and my determined team-mates. Here are three keys I gave them to fix their respective swing problems that might be inflicting damage on you, too. For solid iron shots turn the knuckles of the left hand down at impact A big-hearted Lee, once a single-digit handicap golfer, seemed to have lost all confidence in his ability to play as well as before. His problem was believed to have sprung from an ill-advised or ill-considered swing change ― from a flat swing to an upright one. Given that he used to shoot low scores with a baseball swing, he is surely a player who has to set up in a bent posture and make a flat swing. Crucially, he has a body shape that calls for a flat baseball swing. However, he was setting up in a bent posture and making a steep, upright swing, with the result being frequent fat shots. He did not know that a bent posture and an upright swing plane do not match. A bent posture calls for a flat, baseball swing, while an upright swing demands an erect posture. If you are presently in deep water, it's essential to check if your setup posture matches your swing plane and vice versa. That is, if you are standing over the ball in a bent posture, simply go for the flat, baseball swing, and all other good things will take care of themselves. On average, if you are good at sports such as baseball, tennis or ice-hockey, you're better leaning forward toward the ball and making a flat swing. However, if you think that you need to lift the golf ball in the air to send it toward the target you'd better stand upright, swinging the club on a steep plane. Similarly, if you have a big chest and upper body with relatively short arms, or have a thick body with somewhat limited flexibility, your key swing needs to be a flat one, which calls for a bent posture. On the other hand, if you have a thin chest with longish arms or have a lean body with much flexibility, you are better setting up in an erect posture, making an upright swing. Once you've set up correctly so your posture matches your swing plane, or vice versa, think of just one thing: the knuckles of the left hand. If you can keep them down at impact, then so much the better. That way you can compress the ball harder, hitting down on the ball more solidly and accurately. That is an excellent move if you tend to hit fat or thin shots like Lee, as it will save you from hitting those nasty shots once and for all. Turning them down toward the ground at impact helps retain the wrist hinge longer on the way down, allowing your left wrist to stay flat or slightly bowed through the ball. That means keeping the club head lagging behind the hands until well after impact, also meaning no more flicking motion of the hands that leads to fat or thin shots. In addition to helping generate maximum speed this also decreases loft of the clubface at impact, resulting in longer shots with more control. Typically, too earlier a release of the wrist hinge in the downswing results from attempts to help the ball get up by making a flipping motion with the hands. You can keep away from the precipitate wrist unhinge by turning your knuckles of the left hand down. To get a good feel for this, just imagine yourself dragging the knuckles of the left hand along the grass, or keep the back of your glove pointing down at impact. At first, you may start to hit hooks when you do this as you will close the clubface far much more than you are used to. When that happens, simply swing the club head on an in-to-out path through impact and you will produce beautiful draws. You can also avoid unhinging the wrists too early, or rather stop sending the club into the ground only to hit it fat, if you bear one thing in mind: swinging to a full finish. All you have to do is just focus on finishing the swing with your weight on the left foot and your body over the left leg. If you trust that the club's loft will get the ball up and swing to a finish, you will be left with greater chances of hitting it pure as you won't unhinge your wrists through the ball. You will incur no more fat or thin shots and other poor strikes. Better yet, keeping the knuckles of the left hand down at impact is good even for the driver. That prevents you from trying too much to hit the ball with an upward blow. It's true that you need to swing the club at a slightly ascending angle through impact when you hit the ball off the tee, but that should not be forced. You need to make that happen naturally and automatically by positioning the ball correctly. So, just rotate your forearms counter-clockwise as you start down, turning the clubface of the driver toward the ground. That encourages you to make a natural swing, keeping you from hitting the driver low on the clubface or topping the ball. A major source of distance and accuracy, plus consistency, is solid contact with the ball in the centre of the clubface. Contrary to popular belief, for more solid, powerful shots you need to stop trying to help the ball up, be it a shot off the tee with the driver or a shot from a tight lie with an iron. |
