New Works by Alex CF & Chris Mars!
by Suzanne on July 31st, 2008
Views of the Henrich Emille Rectangle by Alex CF, mixed media, 2008
I'm very proud to announce that Alex has just completed yet another ingenious project: The Henrich Emille Rectangle.
I think this was the most fascinating assemblage piece to watch evolve to date and the result is simply stunning. Oh, and please rest assured that it looks a gazillion times better than on the amateurish pictures we took of it.
Comforting Loss by Chris Mars, 2008
In other mesmerising news, Chris Mars recently published a series of new works over at Chris Mars Publishing, and once again, I found myself wondering why his creatures look so strangely familiar to me and why I simply cannot help sympathising & empathising with all of them. And then I realised that the answer lies in the expression of their eyes.
They have my eyes. Bleary, weary, weak, clouded, watery, aged eyes. Broken eyes that have seen too much and switch to monochrome vision when they can't stand the disgustingly bright colourfulness of the summer anymore.
Like Leah's eyes – forever defying the pure, the white, the cheerful, the enticing, the capturing in Rachel.
In fact, I wish Chris Mars' characters would come alive – I'd feel more comfortable than ever in their company. And I think Chris would understand:
"Let me tell you something about Monsters. I have great empathy toward Monsters, or more accurately, Perceived Monsters. To me, Monsters are more like misfits, people who are physically deformed, or rather, uniquely formed (as indeed we all are, each of us); or, people who are mentally on a different plane than the majority. By this definition, might I be speaking even of you?
I am sympathetic toward Perceived Monsters, because I have known and loved perceived monsters, and have felt this way myself. [...]
So look closely at my work, look hard. Because I'm trying to show you something beautiful."
(Chris Mars, 2003)
Chris is exhibiting at the Retinal Delights show at Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, through October 5, 2008. His next show is due to open at Billy Shire Fine Arts, Culver City, on September 13, 2008.
Eric Beltz & Co. at Otis College of Art & Stuff, L.A.
by Suzanne on July 28th, 2008
Tree of the Evil Eagle by Eric Beltz, graphite on paper, 2008
I recently rediscovered the meticulous illustrative works of Eric Beltz thanks to the editors of Flaunt - one of the many mags I don't have the financial resources for… bugger… - who decided to put him on the cover of Issue #94.
Anyway, monsieur Beltz is currently exhibiting some of his recent graphite-on-paper works in a group show at Otis College L.A. which opened last Saturday.
Looky See – A Summer Show will be on display until mid-September. Some Fred Stonehouse works will be featured too. Further details below.
In related news, this unspectacular view of Eric's desk makes me unspeakably happy because it tremendously reminds me of the desk Alex & I share (MacBook cable, lip balm, piles of books, letters & Post Office receipts, the essential jar of pointless pennies, red bandana, etc.).
On show: July 26 – September 13, 2008
Closing reception: Saturday, September 13, 3 – 5 PM
Featuring: Eric Beltz, Fred Stonehouse, Sandow Birk, Ruby Osorio, et al.

Dangerous Women showcases the paintings, videos and mixed media works of 12 female and 6 male artists.
The title was inspired by a series of works by Rafael Perez which will of course be on show too.

"Heroes & Villains" at White Walls & Shooting Gallery, SF
by Suzanne on July 6th, 2008
Liz McGrath by Tatiana Wills & Roman Cho
San Francisco's White Walls & Shooting Gallery (both located at Larkin St) will simultaneously be showing the touring Heroes & Villains exhibition next week.
This is a chance for all those who missed the show when it was presented at Corey Helford back in April.
Heroes & Villains is the photographic work of Tatiana Wills & Roman Cho who captured and documented the faces behind the so-called "Lowbrow/Pop Surrealism/New Fine Art/You Name It" art movement. (Yes, I hate using the word "movement" for something apolitical too, but unfortunately my frontal lobe has already drifted off to slumberland.)
And as ever so often, the Wurzeltod™ Award For Best Styling goes to the ever stunning & talented assemblage artist Elizabeth McGrath (pictured above – previously featured here, here & here) whose doe-eyed daintiness forever competes with her equally adorable oeuvre.
Opens: Tuesday, July 8, 2008
Artist reception: Saturday, July 12, 2008, 7 – 11 PM
On show: July 8 – 17, 2008

Junko Mizuno at Moshi Moshi in Portland/OR
by Suzanne on July 6th, 2008
Kappa Lady Botan by Junko Mizuno
Junko Mizuno seems determined to launch yet another gruesome attack on American taste buds and optic nerves with her devilishly cute nymphets from hell.
The Kappa Show opened at Moshi Moshi Gallery in Portland a few days ago and will be on show till August 5, 2008.
Junko Mizuno explains the title as follows:
"Kappa are water spirits in Japanese folklore, often depicted as tortoise-like humanoids with green skin, beaked faces and
shells on their backs.
A cavity on the top of their heads is filled with water and is said to be their vulnerable spot – when it's dry, they lose their energy and power. [...]
They are loved by people as a cute character despite the fact that they are rumored to drag humans into the water and pull out their guts through their anuses."
Sweet! o_O
On show: July 3 – August 5, 2008
Address: Moshi Moshi Gallery, 916 West Burnside, Portland Oregon 97209, USA, tel: (503) 227 8253.
Opening hours: Mon – Sat, 11 AM – 6 PM

Conservative leadership candidate Alison Redford wants federal money for more police officers
Karen Kleiss and PETER O'Neill, edmontonjournal.comPublished: Tuesday, August 09, 2011
EDMONTON - Alberta Conservative leadership candidate Alison Redford wants the federal government to help stem Edmonton's soaring murder numbers by restoring a multimillion-dollar fund that put more police officers on city streets.
The former justice minister made the public request Tuesday, one day before Police Chief Rod Knecht is to announce a strategy to deal with violent crime. There have been 33 homicides this year.
Redford said she has repeatedly pushed the federal Conservatives to renew the Police Officer's Recruitment Fund, which injected more than $42 million into Alberta policing budgets since 2008. The federal government has, so far, declined.
Alison Redford
Shaughn Butts
"Some of the funding that is being put in to prisons and that sort of thing is money that I would have liked to have had made available to provinces to allow us to work more proactively with police," Redford said.
"There have been a number of discussions at the federal provincial level about the fact that the (recruitment) funding wasn't going to continue, and that we would have liked it to continue. Otherwise it ends up getting downloaded to the province as a policing cost and it impacts our ability to fund more police officers on the ground."
In the 2008 federal budget, the Conservative government set aside $400 million for the Police Officers Recruitment Fund. The money was divvied up among the provinces in a national effort to recruit 2,500 police officers across the country.
Alberta's per capita share was $42.4 million, which the province used to pay for 83 new policing positions across the province, said Ryan Cromb, spokesman for the province's Solicitor General's office. The figure included 24 RCMP and city police officers in Edmonton.
The officers formed new integrated enforcement units designed to crack down on gangs, drugs and child exploitation, he said.
Federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews wasn't available to comment on Redford's criticism Tuesday, but his office issued a statement noting that it isn't Ottawa's responsibility to provide money "for policing directly" in provinces and municipalities.
"It is, however, a federal responsibility to ensure those criminals caught and prosecuted for indictable offences pay their debt to society in federal prisons," the statement said, adding the recent federal election gave Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government "a strong mandate to protect communities and hold criminals to account."
Edmonton Police Association president Sgt. Tony Simioni said front-line officers have been pleased with the federal government's commitment to policing, but that he supports Redford's call for increased funding.
However, he said the province spent millions of the federal government's recruitment money on policing infrastructure - not policing positions - and he wants Redford to commit to hiring front-line officers with any new federal money.
"In Alberta, we didn't see any of that money go to front-line policing, it went to the Fort Macleod training facility," Simioni said, referring to the Alberta Police and Peace Officer Training Centre, a $100-million project expected to be completed in 2012.
"When the money is earmarked for boots on the street and it doesn't go for that, we have a problem with that."
Grant MacEwan University political scientist Chaldeans Mensa said Conservative leadership candidates are willing to publicly spar over the murder rate because the issue matters to Edmontonians and could help them win supporters in the leadership race and the next provincial election.
"In this kind of race, any publicity at all is useful," Mensa said. "For a lacklustre campaign, this is the kind of medicine that was needed."
He said that as long as candidates stick to finding solutions, the public will won't take the to task for making political hay out of the number of homicides.
"When the issue is raised in the context of trying to find workable solutions to a very unsettling development, I think the public is forgiving," he said.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says limited subway service will resume in New York City on Thursday.
Cuomo also says limited commuter rail service on the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North railroad will resume at 2 p.m. Wednesday.
He says subway service will be supplemented with buses between Manhattan and Brooklyn. He says more details will be released later.
The floodwaters that poured into New York's deepest subway tunnels because of Hurricane Sandy and the hybrid storm it spawned pose the biggest obstacle to the city's recovery.
Many tunnels that carry trains were flooded by the storm, which represents the worst natural disaster in the transit system's 108-year history.

For Immediate
Release: March 19, 2010
OMAHA, Neb. -- Binghamton sophomore 157-pound Justin Lister came up short in his NCAA wrestling semifinal match against seventh-seeded Chase Pami of Cal Poly, losing 13-5 to the two-time Pac-10 champion and reigning senior All-American Friday night at the Qwest Center.
Lister, whose incredible run through the draw as an unseeded first-time competitor was noted repeatedly by the announcers on ESPNU's live broadcast. He became the first BU wrestler in program history to reach the national semifinals and will finish anywhere from third to sixth, which will also be the highest finish of any Bearcat wrestler at the Division I meet.
After pinning the No. 3 seed Jesse Dong of Virginia Tech in the quarterfinals, Lister, the CAA champion, had a tough match against a quick and strong Pami, who recorded two takedowns in each period and had riding time. Lister scored three escapes and added a third-period reversal for his points.
On Saturday, Lister will face the winner of a match between fourth-seeded Cyler Sanderson (Penn State) and unseeded Justin Gaethje of Northern Colorado. A win in that match would send Lister into the third-place bout and a loss would move him into the match for fifth place. Either way Lister will march in the annual Parade of All-Americans at 7 p.m. ET. He is currently 31-9 on the season.
In the quarterfinals, Lister took third-seeded Jesse Dong of Virginia Tech to his back early in the first period and notched his ninth pin of the season just 1:33 into the bout.
Eleventh-seeded senior 174-pound Josh Patterson, who became BU's first All-American with a seventh-place showing at last year's national meet, saw his stellar career come to an end in the fourth round of the consolations. Patterson began his Friday with a 12-6 decision over unseeded Nathan Lee of Boise State. Patterson had a takedown and back points in the first 20 seconds of the match and rode Lee for 3:37 en route to the win. But he then dropped a 9-3 decision to unseeded Philip Moricone of Edinboro. In that match, Patterson led 2-0 on a first-period takedown before Moricone earned three near-fall points in the second period and then recorded two takedowns in the third.
Patterson finishes his career as a four-time NCAA qualifier, two-time CAA champion, All-American and owner of a 123-32 overall record. He is the all-time wins leader in program history.
Binghamton's other three wrestlers were eliminated in their first consolation matches Friday afternoon.
Sophomore 165-pound Matt Kaylor fell to unseeded Kyle Bounds of Michigan State, 5-3. Kaylor went 1-2 in his first NCAA trip and finished with a 35-20 overall record.
Junior 141-pound Anwar Goeres absorbed an 11-6 loss to eighth-seeded Alex Krom from Maryland. Goeres, the CAA champion, went 36-10 this season.
Redshirt 149-pound freshman Donnie Vinson suffered a 4-2 sudden victory loss to Kyle Borshoff of American. Vinson, CAA runnerup, posted a 33-13 overall record in his first collegiate season.
Redshirt 184-pound freshman Nate Schiedel was eliminated after two close decisions on Thursday. Schiedel, the CAA champion, finished his first collegiate season with a stellar 29-9 record.

ICO finally gets new data protection penalty powers
Privacy regulator the Information Commissioner will be handed new powers to issue fines next April. The Commissioner's office has confirmed for the first time the date on which it will be able to hand out new fines. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) was promised the long lobbied-for powers by Government but no date had …
Still not enough teeth
The ICO should be able to fine, and jail, for large personal data losses, for breaches of insecure systems, for data mining without the informed consent of the data subject and for failing to notify data subjects that their personal details have been comprimised.
The UK needs to get serious about data protection.
Mr Bueller's Ferrari
The power to fine is obviously sensible, but all this handwringing that the ICO is totally powerless is total rubbish. The ICO already has quite a number of powers from polite information notices all the way to criminal prosecutions and search and entry powers. He can already obtain a search warrant not only where he suspects a criminal offence but also if he just think the DPA might not be being followed. The Police don't even have such a wide search power. However much like the item in the title these powers have sat in a garage in cheshire never to be actually put to use. The biggest issue is the ICO's reticence to act, not the legal framework, lets hope the new ICO does better.
About time they got some teeth
I've been corresponding with the ICO for a while about Orange mobile. I signed up to the Telephone Preference service and when given a choice I ask not to be send SMS text adverts.
The ICO says each time you get a SMS text advert from a company you should be given the option to opt out. Orange send out SMS text adverts with no 'reply to' number, so you can't ask them to stop.
I've been on the phone with Orange many times, and they seem unable to prevent the SMS text adverts. Perhaps now the ICO will be able to persuade companies like Orange to take the regulations seriously, and PUNISH them until they GET WITH THE PROGRAM.
I wonder...
...if the government is delaying this to ensure it won't get fined every day for data breaches? On second thoughts Nah, it'll never happen.
It always worries me when I hear the term 'Ministry of Justice', sounds a bit too much like something from Citizen Kane (feel free to substitiue different film/programme title - there's so many to choose from), it always instills a feeling of a Police State where Good Citizens Have Nothing To Fear. (Friend Citizen tell me about your neighbor...)
Oh, silly me, it's already here.
All the power he has yet he still doesn't stand up for normal people or actually make a difference to the safety of information
Just look at the phorm debacle to show his thought processes.
Working with the DPA day to day, I can see fundamental flaws in the law and the way it is carried out, fines are not going to change anything.
Anon because my boss might be reading this.
What's the point?
Great idea. Fines and all that. What can I say, hurray. In a sort of muted way.
The ICO Data Protection staff claimed they were 'not techical experts' when confronted with Phorm. They didn't even use the enforcement powers they *already had*. Spinvox, no action there either.
So big stick. Still no clue how to hit people with it. Possibly even a danger to themselves now.
Before fines will be an effective measure we need the ICO Data Protection staff replaced - as a whole - by people who comprehend basic IT (never mind complex IT). And people who serve the public they are supposed to protect, instead of commercial interests.
The ICO Data Protection function is - currently - a pointless waste of tax, fresh air, energy, and office space.
(Welcome Mat, because it welcomes capable new comers, and softens the step of people who really should be leaving).

Journal Entry #635
February 3rd, 2012
Well if you have followed my blog at all or scanned through our website you will have noticed that besides writing I have many other passions and music is at the top of the list.
2 years ago we released our debut album. "DOG KUF" and slowly started to build a fan base. Over the next 2 years we worked on the new one "Sandbox Junkies" which was planned to be released 2 months ago but life got in the way and it will be put on hold for awhile but since the music was completed I decided to release the music as videos on You Tube for people to enjoy.
I will offer 2 of the songs here and the rest over a period of time on the blog. If you like these songs or even if you don't please share for others to decide for themselves.
"What I Have To Say" by The FREEMAN www.thefreeman.net
"What I have to say.."
Lyrics by Gary David Currie Music by Gary David Currie & Zack Currie Copyright July 2011
You don't want to hear what I have to say.. Repeat..
1st verse
What's your drug of choice, what gets you high, are you satisfied with just getting by ?
Do you feel the need to believe in lies? Born innocent eyes open wide.
Counting the days until you die, graves calling you gods waiting by..
You don't want to hear what I have to say, what I have to say
2nd verse
Join the machine a cog in the wheel, days repeat no green fields.
Take your head out of that feeding trough see what it's like when you're not lost.
Is the weight of living like a cross to bear, let the saints and sinners all beware..
You don't want to hear what I have to say, what I got say what I want to say…..Repeat..
Repeat main line..
Say, say, say, say, say, say, say…. (low voice to high)
"Ya Got" by The FREEMAN
"Ya Got" Lyrics
Ya got
Right wing left wing chewing on a chicken wing.
Mac book Facebook does anybody read a book
Pop, rap, rock is back no playing with a backing track
Science geeks Jesus freak here's the dumbass of the week
Double down Baconator stuff it on and pay it later
Ah what a world
What in the world do we think we're doing?
Is anyone still sane?
What in the world do we think we're doing?
Is it a game…
Ya got
Free speech, no speech airports looking in your briefs
Viral, out of control post it on the you tube show
Star wars, Start Trek what a stupid argument
Bollywood, Hollywood 15 minutes if you could
Polar bears running scared, Clinton on what not to wear.
Ah what a world
Ya got
Gay, straight lots of hate climate change is it too late
Big bang star burst what a great big universe
Vampires, cheating liars, evolution revolution
Sex, drugs rock n roll Dr. Drew for your soul
Conspiracies, clear the trees oceans filled with our debris
Everyone thinks their right, Guns kill people fight
Everyone thinks their right, Guns kill people fight

Shobha Developers
'North, South Bangalore to see realty growth in 2014'
Sobha Developers Ltd is one of the renowned developers in Bangalore. They launched about eight projects (mix of commercial and residential) in 2013 and have also given deliveries of many residential projects. J C Sharma, vice chairman and managing director, Sobha Developers Ltd, in conversation with Magicbricks.com's Neha Nagpal says that when all other metro cities were struggling with fluctuating real estate sales, Bangalore showcased a stable picture.
Luxury housing in Pune: a growing trend
Do you fancy living in spacious apartments, luxurious penthouses or beautiful independent villas? Well, Pune has several options for you. Clearly, premium homes are in vogue in Pune as several developers are coming up with projects that re-define luxury. Properties in these projects cost anywhere between Rs 3-7 crore.
Bangalore witnesses increase in 'vertical growth'
With increase in Mumbai head-quartered developers and the City Development Plan allowing developers to build vertically, the number of high-rise building projects with fancy amenities has increased in Bangalore. Players like Tata Housing, Pashmina and Equinox have brought in the concept of growing vertically to the City that essentially lacks the high rise culture. This has triggered other Bangalore-based developers to jump into the high-rise bandwagon. All of them also come with impressive high-end amenities.
Developers' hard sell to attract NRI investment
Bangalore Though NRI enquiries for buying property has risen by about 15 to 20 per cent in the period April to July they are not translating into sales. This has resulted in the developer community hard selling with several freebies thrown in to attract this community. With the fall in Rupee value the number of enquiries from NRIs saw a marked increase in the period March to June 2013. Krishnappa…
New developments push property prices in Nagawara, Bangalore
Nagawara, a suburb in North Bangalore, is benefitting on account of its good connectivity. The proposed metro has resulted in a hike in property values in the locality. According to the Magicbricks.com data, the area has witnessed a capital appreciation of almost 20 per cent in the Oct-Dec 2012 quarter.

text: On August 19, 2006, at approximately 1510 mountain daylight time, a Bellanca 8GCBC (Scout), N4109Y, was substantially damaged following impact with terrain near Lower Duck Creek Rd., Townsend, Montana. The private pilot, the sole person on board, was seriously injured. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal cross-country flight which originated from Missoula, Montana, approximately 2 hours, 10 minutes, before the accident. The pilot had not filed a flight plan.The pilot said that he was performing a fly-by at Duck Creek to find some of his friends who were camping there. A witness reported that the airplane made multiple low passes over open terrain; on the last pass, the left wing struck the ground. The airplane cartwheeled and came to rest on the ground. The pilot reported that the left wing was bent up from the mid-section outboard, and the fuselage was crushed and wrinkled.

Win7 cannot write crash dump?
Hi guys,
I'm experiencing lots of BSoDs when the Wi-Fi connection is heavily loaded. I saw NETIO.SYS stated on many BSoDs, but nothing more specific.
I got one ASUS RT10-N set up as an access point and switch. The laptop is connected via 150Mbps 802.11n Wi-Fi link (one static IP) and my desktop box is connected via 100Mbps Cat.5e UTP cable (a good one, though) to the same router.
The box is with another static IP (from the same network).
Well, I went through the standard procedure to analyze the crash dump with WinDbg, but here comes one of the surprises. To be specific - there's no crash dump!!!
I tried various directories and what not, alas no crash dump! I also tried the option with no restart, still nothing.
Only once I managed to record ~500MB memory dump, which I cannot get rid of. 'You have no permission to open this file', OMG! I'm logged as admin.
So, first - how to record the crash dump (or why Win does not)?
Sorry for the mixed up bloat, but I'm kind of frustrated and can't get my mind to one piece right now.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Here you go !!
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click System.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (64k).
To change the folder location for the small memory dump files, type a new path in the Dump File box (or in the Small dump directory box, depending on your version of Windows).

Hi Tews,
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, I did exactly as you say but no crash dump after the restart.
I'm aware of how to enable crash dumping (sorry if I sounded the other way). The desktop is with XP and I got all the crash dumps from the beautifully blue SoDs. It just won't happen in Windows 7.
BTW, under 'Write Debugging Information' I got (none), Small memory dump (256KB) and Kernel Memory Dump. The last one is about 500MB and I cannot open it.

In addition to Tom's advise, make sure that you are not using any program such as CCleaner, because they may clean out the minidump folder

OFFTOPIC - I'm looking for a shortcut for changing the ownership of my neighbor's Porsche. Bad thing is, it goes through jail almost every time...

I'm using ZoneAlarm, NOD32 and TuneUp Utilities. For the former I'm quite sure it doesn't wipe anything automatically.
10x for the tip, anyway!
|My System Specs
|01 Aug 2010
Go to Control Panel-->Program and Feature and look for if you are using CCleaner. If you don't know what it is or never used it and see it in the program and feature, you can uninstall it. It is a type of program that wipe out things like minidump
|My System Specs
|01 Aug 2010
I got it. I just changed the dump path to C:\ and voila! Seems Windows 7 doesn't create directories that don't exist. So I just put c:\ and now I got a juicy 248KB dump, which I'll submit in few moments in a new thread.
One more thing, I had to ran Windbg as admin in order to load the file. It displays ownership permission required, even though I had one.
Good job, guys! Thanks!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
No way, this school gets under a 5 star any parent that is mad that there student didn t graduate is because the school does not let up on being tough.
Match is a school that pushes a child to be the best that it can be and this can be seen from the various test results and the high college acceptance. Althought my son struggles to meet the goals that is set before him, he is determine to succeed. The school population is diverse and parent's participation is greatly encourage. The school hours are long but in the end it is worth it to see your child succeed. the school is great!
I am very comfortable in giving this school a #5 - the staff members are committed and caring, the teachers are a dedicated group that are fully vested in giving personal attention to each student, and truly concerned about the education and welfare of each child entrusted to them. Relationships are forged beyond the years of high school, and there is such an outpouring of resources for each student. It's an amazing place to be educated, mature into adulthood, and prepare for life as a college student, and as a positive contributor to making students into the next generation of thinkers and doers!
Match school is though and it is not for everyone, my daughter had her up and down days, but it is challenging days, she was not putting her best effort last year but because of the strong rules and encouragement she is doing better, some might say it is not a good school, but those who left which is a few, when they enter another school they are on top of their grades due to what they had learn from match. if you want a school that teaches discipline, perservance and challenge then match is the one. I choose match because after the exams school in Boston, you have no good choose, our kids are performing as well as the exam school. and we did not have to do an exam to pick the the kids that come to our school, we get kids from all background. Great school
This school really makes students work hard! Every child has a tutor that he or she works with for 2 hours per day. They push students to meet their potential and they never give up on our children. My child has really improved in the 2 years he has been at MATCH. For the first time, he actually cares about his education and shares books that he is reading in english class. The school also has amazing results on the MCAS - all students pass and most get advanced and proficiency. The MATCH is in the top 10 for math, english and science scores. But the best part is that the school is like a family. the teachers, tutors and principal really care about the kids. When my child is at school, it is like another home.
this school is so cool i like coming here
This school is not good at all. I had to pull my child from this school because the things that were taught had big gaps in them and there seems to be no opportunity options for my child. I recently went over to Cambridge Rindge and Latin and enrolled my child, the extra-curricular activities are better and so are the clubs along with teacher involvement. This school has potential but it's not good.
Good people work here with the best interests of the students. As a Charter School, they are not a model that can't be duplicated (which is why Charter Schools came into existence). They rely on workaholic teachers, proximity to a university (for a steady source of college students to provide after school tutoring) and most disturbingly, they can't get by with what the state provides in funding. They run shortages of $300,000 or more per year and look to fund raising and private donations to offset this difference. As long as they can do that, more power to them. But it is NOT something that other schools can expect to do every year. PACRIM school is a much better example of what a Charter School should look like.

Square Enix continues to unveil details for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn with a new trailer about classes and jobs.
By achieving sufficient mastery in a certain class, adventurers will be able to begin undertaking the mantle of a related job. For example, gladiators may rise up as paladins, thaumaturges may aspire to become black mages while conjurers may become white mages, masters of healing. Their potential is best realized in party situations, where having well-defined roles is the key to success.

It was a white knuckle ride, but nothing bad happened. No helicopters. No ambushes. No frying pans. We glided out of the Federal lands, and came down out of the mountains into the ye olde yuppie/hippie college town of Boulder, Colorado.
I was still expecting to find Mollies at every turn as we pivoted through the town (no longer going fast because they have traffic cameras on every lampost here, and you can go to jail for reckless endangerment if you crowd a bicyclist.) But everything stayed fine. Boulder is not exactly my kind of city — it's a tad too tame — but I do like it, and no matter how yuppified, I still have fond memories of the Pearl Street Mall And especially the Boulder Bookstore.
There were crowds of people everywhere, musicians, jugglers, German tourists and the like, and it just wasn't the sort of place where servants of immortals are likely to parachute in and shoot you. Strattera and walked hand in hand down from the top of mall and I was finally beginning to truly relaxed when we saw her.
She was walking out of my beloved Boulder Bookstore, looking away from us, just a young woman with reddish hair who could be anyone.
I think I might have paused for a second, but that was all. I mean, people do have red hair.
But, as I might not have stressed enough earlier, the Mollies are not actually clones of each other. They're clearly different people. At the airport, they were all dressed similarly, it's true, and they all had light skin and various shades of red hair, and looked about 25, but that was all that was the same about them.
This woman wasn't dressed at all like the Mollies we'd been looking at. She was just a girl with red hair, and so I shook my fears away and we walked past her.
And then she spoke to us. (continued in my next post) — Flyss

If I had a guild I'd have paid for your transfer to my server. Well, not really, but you sound like you'd be a good member of any decent raid team, just from your attitude, and it's a shame the guild you've joined is keeping you on the sideline.
Now, from my experiences if the guild doesn't want you in, you'd be better off finding a new home.
If that's not an option for you, I'm not sure how hardcore this guild is, but I have friends who did join top guilds, and they were usually sidelined for a few weeks before they were accepted into the guild as "real" members.

- Topics: Animal Sciences | Meat Products | Swine Management | Leak, Fred W
R.L. Reddish and F.W. Leak2
The highest-grade pork is produced from young, well-fed hogs that weigh from 180 to 250 pounds. The fat should be firm and from 1 to 1½ inches thick over the center of the back. The hams should be full and plump, the sides straight and smooth.
Pork carcasses of highest quality and those most suitable for the home meat supply are produced from hogs that are from five to eight months of age at time of slaughter. Hogs that are fed liberally on feeds that permit rapid growth and fattening from weaning time to these ages will produce pork of proper size and finish.
To prevent spoilage and to insure more efficient processing, hang the pork carcass in refrigerator storage for 12 to 24 hours. This period of time is adequate to properly chill the carcass (38F to the bone) if the cooler temperature is held between 34-38F.
Place the side of pork on the table with the inside of the carcass facing up.
Pull out the leaf (kidney) fat and kidney. If the ham is to be artery pumped, leave the artery intact at its upper attachment.
Cut off the head at the atlas joint or first joint. Cut the jowls or cheeks off close to the jawbone and trim the remaining meat from the head.
Saw off the shoulder across the third rib, counting from the neck. Remove the neckbones or spareribs. Avoid cutting into the shoulder.
The shoulder can be kept whole, cured and smoked, or it can be divided into Boston butt and picnic and used fresh or cured. If the shoulder is to be cured, it should be smooth and properly trimmed.
To divide the shoulder into picnic ham and Boston butt, cut the shoulder approximately in half by cutting about one inch below the shoulder blade and parallel with the breast. Trim the excess fat and neck meat from the picnic. Cut the excess fat off the shoulder butt or Boston butt. Square the picnic by sawing off the foreleg parallel to the cut made in dividing the shoulder.
Separate the ham from the middle (side) by sawing across the backbone and through the pelvic bone. Make this cut just behind the rise in the backbone, about 2½ inches (the width of three fingers) in front of the aitch bone, or pelvic bone, and at right angles to the length of the leg.
Trim the ham and remove the backbone, tail, and flank. The ham should be trimmed so that there will be a uniform layer of fat covering the ham from the butt end to the shank. Saw off the hind leg at the hock joint. Remove the hock by cutting one inch below the thick part of the ham. The hock can be left on the ham and cured with the ham.
Separate the loin from the side by making a straight cut from a point close to the lower edge of the backbone at the shoulder end to a point just below the tenderloin muscle from which the ham was cut. Separate the fat back from the loin. Leave an even covering of fat, about ¼ inch thick on the loin.
Trim the regular spareribs from the side or belly. Turn the blade of the knife towards the ribs so that it will not cut into the meat. Square the side by cutting a strip parallel to the loin and wide enough to remove the nipples. The flank end may also have to be squared.
Shoulder - cured whole (a) Picnic - cured or fresh roast (b) Boston butt - cured or fresh roasts and pork steaks.
Ham - cured whole - roasts and ham steaks. Fresh - roasts and fresh ham steaks.
Belly or Side - cured and smoked - bacon. Fresh - fresh pork slices. Cured - dry salt bacon and smoked bacon.
Loin - cured and smoked - roasts and chops. Fresh - loin roast and chops.
Jowls - cured and smoked - jowl bacon. Fresh - sausage.
Lean and Fat Trimmings - sausage.
Spareribs - fresh, smoked or barbecued spareribs.
Neckbones - fresh.
An additional 30 lbs of fat for lard, bones and waste further reduces this 150 lb carcass to only 120 lbs of salable retail cuts -- chops, hams, bacon, ribs and sausage -- that the retailer packages and puts on display in the meat case.
Pork is cured in three ways -- with salt alone, with salt and sugar, or with salt, sugar, and saltpeter. The last is the preferred "sugar cure." You can sugar-cure pork either dry or in sweet-pickle brine. Because the dry cure is faster, it is popular in the South, where warm weather makes spoilage a serious problem. With either the dry or sweet-pickle cure, remember the main essentials:
Chill the meat and keep it cold.
Use the amount of salt in the recipe.
Give the meat enough curing time to absorb the salt thoroughly.
Smoke cured meat long enough to drive out excess moisture.
Weigh meat and curing ingredients carefully. Too little salt may cause spoilage; too much salt makes hard, dry, over-salty meat.
Keep meat cold while in cure. Hold curing meat at a temperature near 36-40F. Higher temperatures increase the chance of spoilage. Lower temperatures slow salt penetration.
If curing temperatures drop below freezing for several days, add the same number of days to curing time. Temperatures below 36F slow salt penetration.
Frozen meat is difficult to handle. If fresh meat freezes, thaw it in a chill room or in cold brine before putting it in cure.
Figure curing time carefully. Too few days in cure may cause spoilage. Too long a cure in heavy salt results in loss of quality.

Over the last few years many homeowners have lost their houses to foreclosure. Some lost their homes due to bad financial management and overextending themselves, but some had a darker nature with being misrepresented by the lending institution. In 2010, banks were caught with their pants down in a robo-signing scandal. They were foreclosing on properties that they couldn't even prove that they owned. This caused a shakeup in the mortgage industry and made banks slow down on their foreclosure process. Before 2010 a foreclosure would take around six months, now that time has been pushed out to about one year. The cause of this mess was how mortgage-backed notes were being traded in the derivatives market over and over again. No one really knew who owned what.
After this big scandal shook up the mortgage industry many believe there would be reform to stop this from happening in the future. Reform never came and the banks are starting to do it again. In fact, the Fed has been pushing to relax the lending regulations of consumers. Prior to 2007 the old joke was that a loan broker could get anyone a loan that could fog a mirror. They would just change the numbers to make the person qualify and it would be a done deal. Since this happened, banks have been gun shy about giving anyone a loan until recently. The only legal recourse to delay a foreclosure currently is filing for bankruptcy. While Congress should be reforming the banking laws to stop another 2007 financial collapse, instead it seems they are just helping the banks get further leveraged.
Now that it's been six years from the previous financial faux pas of the banks, it appears that they are heading down the same road that almost made the financial system collapse in 2007. Recently, it was reported that there are over 5 million homes in the US that are in some stage of default and on their way to foreclosure. No surprise, another bubble has been created and as most Americans are sleeping through it, the worst is yet to come. People that are barely hanging on, might consider filing bankruptcy to re-organize their debts. If someone wants to hang on to everything they have, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be a good place to start looking. On the other hand, if a person has once again amassed a mountain of unsecured credit card debt, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy would be a much better option. This whole thing will not end well and people need to wake up and protect their family's financial future at whatever the cost. The banks are getting the gold mine as we get the shaft.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become porous and weak. As they lose strength, they are more likely to break. Bones in the spine, hip, wrist, pelvis, and upper arm are particularly at risk of fracture in people with osteoporosis.
Osteopenia is a condition in which less bone has been lost than in osteoporosis. But people with osteopenia are more likely to develop osteoporosis if something is not done to stop the loss of bone.
The disease usually progresses without symptoms until it is diagnosed after a fracture.
Bone is made up of calcium and other minerals, which make bone hard. Bone density, or more specifically, bone mineral density, refers to the mineral content of the bones. It is related to how hard and strong they are. Low bone density is seen in osteoporosis.
Bone is a type of tissue. Like other tissues in the body, bone constantly repairs and renews itself. In bone, this process is called remodeling. Two kinds of cells carry out remodeling:
Osteoclasts. Cells that break down, or resorb, bone and release calcium into the blood.
Osteoblasts. Cells that draw calcium from the blood and create new bone.
A balance between the bone-building osteoblasts and bone-dissolving osteoclasts keeps bones healthy.
In young people, bones lengthen and increase in density. After about the age of 35, however, bones start to lose density and strength. Most cases of osteoporosis result from the speeding up of bone loss that can occur for a number of reasons:
Decrease in the levels of hormones (estrogen and testosterone) in the body
Lack of physical activity
Lack of calcium and vitamin D
Excessive alcohol use
Certain medications
Osteoporosis is more common in women than in men. This is because during menopause, a woman's ovaries greatly slow their production of estrogen, a hormone that keeps the bone-dissolving activity of the osteoclasts in check. After menopause the osteoblasts continue to build bone, but they cannot keep up with the speed at which the osteoclasts break it down. If no measures are taken to prevent or slow bone loss, osteoporosis can occur.
Bone loss in men generally begins later and advances more slowly than it does in women. Men tend to have larger and stronger bones than women do and they do not go through the abrupt hormonal changes that occur with menopause. But as they age men do lose bone density, in part because of a natural decrease in testosterone. By age 65 or 70 men and women lose bone mass at similar rates. Calcium absorption, which is needed to keep bones healthy, also decreases in men and women.
Various cancer treatments can increase the risk of osteoporosis for both men and women. Some chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer and various hormonal therapies for breast and prostate cancer can cause a loss of bone density. There are a number of strategies to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Patients should discuss these options with their health care provider.
It is well known that testosterone and other male hormones, called androgens, can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer. For this reason, a common treatment approach for prostate cancer is to lower the level of testosterone in the body. This approach has been successful in treating men with advanced prostate cancer (disease that has spread throughout the body). Some doctors may also use it when the disease is diagnosed early, before it has spread beyond the prostate.
While low testosterone levels can slow prostate cancer growth, they can also lead to loss of bone density in men. In particular, hormonal therapies that deprive the body of androgens--called androgen-deprivation therapy--increase the risk of osteoporosis. Androgen-deprivation therapies include:
Orchiectomy. A surgical procedure to remove the testicles, the main source of testosterone.
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs, or agonists. Drugs, such as leuprolide and goserelin, that lower testosterone levels in the body.
Another class of hormonal drugs used to treat prostate cancer is the antiandrogen agents. This class includes the drug bicalutamide.
Not all men develop osteoporosis as a result of androgen-deprivation therapy. But because this hormonal treatment can increase the risk of this disease, these men should consider having routine bone mineral density screenings. A type of X-ray called the bone mineral density test is a safe and noninvasive way to diagnose osteoporosis, detect low bone density, monitor the effectiveness of treatments, and predict the risk for future fractures.
Once bone is lost, it cannot be completely replaced using current therapies. Although it cannot be cured, osteoporosis can be slowed down. A number of approaches are available for preventing and treating osteoporosis in men.
Lifestyle approaches for preventing bone loss in men include:
Calcium and vitamin D. Calcium comes from the food we eat. Dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, and nondairy foods, such as salmon, spinach, and tofu, are good sources. Vitamin D comes from diet and the sun. For men older than 50, the recommended daily intake of calcium is 1000 to 1200 mg, and of vitamin D, 600 to 800 international units (IU).
Exercise. Regular physical activity, especially weight-bearing exercises, such as jogging, dancing, stair-climbing, and arm exercises can help prevent bone loss.
Stop smoking
Limit alcohol intake
Medical approaches for preventing and treating bone loss in men include:
Bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates are drugs that prevent the breakdown of bone. There are different types of bisphosphonates, some that are taken orally (by mouth), others that are given intravenously (in a vein). Two bisphosphonates--pamidronate (Aredia) and zoledronate (Zometa), which are given as intravenous injections--can be used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to the bones. They may also help prevent osteoporosis in men during androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Risedronate and alendronate are approved by the FDA for preventing and treating osteoporosis in men and women. Both drugs are available as oral tablets.
RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand) inhibitors. These drugs act in a very similar way to bisphosphonates. Prolia (denosumab) is FDA approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. It is also approved for the prevention of bone loss caused by hormonal therapy given for the treatment of cancer, if used in combination with calcium and vitamin D supplement.
Calcitonin. Calcitonin is a naturally occurring hormone important for calcium regulation and bone metabolism. It is usually given as a nasal spray.
