J. Fred Woell, "Democracy Speaks" (brooch) 2003, mixed media: wood, copper, brass, steel, nickel. paper, plastic, 2 1/4 x 3 x 3/8"

The Lifetime Achievement Award Winner this year was…

J. Fred Woell, "Democracy Speaks" (brooch) 2003, mixed media: wood, copper, brass, steel, nickel. paper, plastic, 2 1/4 x 3 x 3/8"

The Lifetime Achievement Award Winner this year was J. Fred Woell. Like many attendees, this is a lecture that I often skip. If you saw Stanley Lechtzin's "This Is Your Life" back in Philadelphia, you'll understand why. Snark aside, this year I regretted missing Woell's. His work, like Ebendorf's, had a strong influence on me as an undergraduate jewelry student many years ago. Also, by the end of the conference I was feeling overly sappy about some things. More on this later. I was simply under slept at the time, and spent much of the early conference mitigating my own apathy.

I made it to Garth Clark's lecture, stumbling in and feeling a little embarrassed having missed the Lifetime Achievement Award. This walk of shame in the lecture room is nothing new. I had anticipated Clark's lecture eagerly--whether I would agree with him or not, it's never bad to have someone stir the pot on the first day. Not only did he immediately address our host-state's deplorable legislative behavior, especially lately, he also addressed the topic that has plagued studio jewelry since the post-90's slump. While other studio craft fields expand, diversify, and flourish, we seem to be the last to bloom. This is a topic Clark has addressed often given his attempts to open a cross-over gallery for both ceramics and studio jewelry many, many years ago. It became evident that the "fine art" market was more willing to embrace ceramics at that time, and we never fully resolved that issue in studio jewelry. Clark's take home lesson of the lecture is to address our phobias regarding design, and learn from the larger fashion/design world of the last decade. It has grown to challenge the expectations of design, earn the respect of the fine art world, and continues to produce work that is technically and materially diverse. Additionally, design does this without rejecting commercial success. This theme of embracing, rather than sneering at the commercial world, while maintaining autonomy, creativity, and diversity, became a major theme of the conference. And while some, including an inarticulate question-er at the end of the lecture, seemed to take offense at Clark's advice, I found myself chewing on it as it thread through the rest of the weekend.

I missed a few of the presenters during my monastic interludes, but I think I can address a few themes overall. The Spotlight lectures were very well received this year. And I don't just speak from my personal bias having introduced Allyson Bone (http://allysonbone.com/ ). I made it to all of them, enjoyed the work presented, found each had uniquely personal themes, and found that others shared this consensus.

Catie Sellers, "Xela", 2011, sterling and steel, 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Caitie Sellers' work addressed landscape in a way that is unique—using the strengths of wire work to create linear 3-dimensional sketch-forms that serve as touchstones for her travels. She also directly addressed her production work, and the need to survive financially if she is to continue. For reference, this used to be unthinkable in a SNAG lecture and has now become the norm.

Loring Taoka, Untitled, acrylic and light

Loring Taoka's talk addressed his uniquely personal themes on race/identity while being self-deprecating. At one time I would have summed up Taoka's work as being more political, but that does a disservice to his range. His work is minimal in form and color and direct in theme, striking a balance and creating pieces that are elegant rather than heavy-handed. He may be pigeonholed for addressing race and otherness on his own terms, but he's always created work that has many entry points. The exploration of marginalization is deeply human, and at its root, profoundly inclusive.

Amy Tavern, "Bow Cluster Brooch with Teardrop", 2010, sterling silver, light blue, navy, yellow, and white spray paint, fabricated with sgraffito, 8.5" x 4" x 1.75"

Amy Tavern's most recent exhibition "This Is How I Remember It" became the focus of her lecture, and with good reason. For those who don't know, Tavern used social media to raise funds and promote a solo exhibition and the construction of the body of work as it was created. Watching the process unfold was impressive, and I think it was one of the best integrations of new media with a gallery to successfully launch a solo exhibition that I've seen in our field. The work addressed loss and memory—recalling pieces from her childhood that were part of her grandmother's jewelry collection. Pieces were then reconstructed in Amy's signature style of angular, stylized forms and layered and scuffed spray paint. If anyone, like myself, entered into the jewelry world thanks to a Grandmother's jewelry collection, then you were probably getting misty in the dark lecture room too.

Andrew Hayes, "Helm", modified book, steel

Andrew Hayes was an unfamiliar maker to me—combining fluid metal forms with disassembled books. While the work may not fit in with many current themes of historicism or preciousness that are dominating our field, his work was comforting to me. Those early years of very technical training have left me with a soft spot for traditionalists, large scale sculptors, and anyone with a sense of humor about the trials of method and mode.

Allyson Bone, "Leafy Pair", 2012, sterling silver, onyx

Last, but not least, Allyson Bone…I did her introduction so I doubt I can address her lecture objectively. Her experience in the world of fashion working as a CAD designer for Alexis Bittar after completing her MFA at New Paltz is something I have heard much about. Long phone calls, stressed out texts, and random e-mails have kept me up to date as that experience unfolded. I knew others in our field would be as interested, and as sympathetic, to her struggle. The academic studio vs. the commercial studio only furthered the thread through the conference—of financial solvency, one way or another. I heard from others that it was well received, so I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say it was a wonderful talk. And as I rambled on in my introduction, when you attend the conference for years with the same friends and then get to introduce one of them for their lecture, you feel very lucky.

I hope they expand these brief lectures, or potentially create an application process, because they are already becoming hot tickets on the programming. For students and emerging makers, it is a wonderful opportunity to share the bumpier years and learn from one another.

More on the other long form lectures, and the nitty gritty side of SNAG in the next post...

local flora to distract the weirdos

So where to begin post-SNAG 2012? First impressions are that dehydration adds a nice layer of incapacitation on top of the usual exhaustion. Fun fact, I get vertigo when I'm dehydrated so my head is literally spinning.

Like the sediment in my inner ear, I'm still waiting for things to settle so I can get my bearings. This year was particularly surreal, as I had feared and anticipated it would be. The good thing about a resort is that everyone spends a lot of time together in the communal spaces catching up, or making new friends. The bad thing about a resort is that you're all trapped on the island and some people did not come to make friends.

This conference was maybe half as big as Seattle's... Now Seattle was epic, so that wasn't a difficult achievement. And I think the smaller group created a lot of opportunities for slower, more considered engagement. Also the hostage-quality of the resort left us all in each others company as opposed to the usual forays into adjacent downtowns. Our options were high-end mall sprawl or the forbidding Arizona desert. Both equally terrifying in their own way…

I found this captive situation most frustrating with regard to the exhibitions. I failed to sequence it properly and ended up missing a few shows—in particular the enameling exhibition that was, by all accounts, fantastic—and I missed the crowds at certain venues. The spaces were not a few blocks apart, but miles and miles away, as in get-on-the-bus or in-a-car for up to 30 or 40 minutes between locations.

 "Adam", 2010, hand fabricated, formed, and chased, 11 x 11 x 3 inches, by Avery Lucas in the "Cu / 29: Contemporary Work in Copper" exhibition at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum

I did see both exhibitions at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts—"Humor in Metal" and "Hot Under the Collar"—and all of the exhibitions at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum— "Cu / 29: Contemporary Work in Copper", "Crucible: 10 Years of Metals at Mesa Arts Center", "Offerings–Gifts for the Muse: Work by Jan Arthur Harrell", "eleMEnTAL: Becky Chader McDonah – Tedd R McDonah – Lynette Andreasen", "Presidential: The Art of Leadership", and "SNAG Showcase: 2012 Conference Presenters". I whizzed through things fairly quickly, but I found that "Hot Under the Collar" was one of the best exhibitions of the conference. Also, "Humor in Metal" was a personal favorite given all of the work Brigitte Martin has put into both the book, "Humor in Craft", and all related projects.

Thanks to Andy Cooperman's "Chicken Choker" I can't get this out of my head.

In addition to all of these events, I was able to stumble my way through the "Exhibition in Motion: Pomp and Swagger" and got a good look at the other pieces back stage. It was very fun to take part in, and I hope everyone on the business end of the catwalk felt the same.

The secluded setting also meant that any excursions to local hot spots like the Botanical Garden were difficult or impossible unless you tapped out for an afternoon and found a local willing to drive or a car load to pack into a cab. I came into this conference with limited capacities, so I accepted my passive position as resort captive to a certain degree.

Embracing the local customs of resort dwellers.

Because I arrived on Tuesday, I had time to try and adjust somewhat. Breakfast on the veranda of the hotel restaurant was a nice way to start the day. And somehow I always woke around 5 or 6am, never getting used to the time difference, so I developed an intimate acquaintanceship with that veranda. Every day I resisted my inner grifter-urge to pocket the small jars of jam and honey on the table. A few stray buffet muffins did not find themselves so lucky.

It has been particularly helpful co-blogging with Liz Steiner because I skipped out of things here and there when I needed a break. This was my 7th consecutive conference. I do my best to avoid guilt over truancy/absence at this point, with some exceptions. There is so much going on, but I am only able to soak it up if I'm in the right mode. Naps or hotel-room-monastic interludes are necessary.

Regardless of where these posts meander, I want to put on the record that I cannot begin to conceive of the agonies that go into planning such an event. This post-mortem is not the final word on the conference. Just my sleep deprived take on the whole thing. Hopefully everyone will chime in with comments...and please share your pictures on the flickr page for posterity!

I'm sure members of the Society of North American Goldsmiths, in town for their annual conference, are plenty tame in everday mode, but some of them are bringing a delightfully odd twist to metal in a pair of exhibitions running through Sunday at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.
 After previewing the 30 or so works in each juried exhibition (selected from a total of about 700 submissions), I got to thinking how much the folks attending Phoenix Comicon this weekend would enjoy these works. One artist imagined Darth Vadar as a little girl, and another created a jousting helmet for a newborn. Both are part of "Humor in Metal." The other exhibition is titled "Hot Under the Collar: Survey of Contemporary Necklaces."

 While enjoying the exhibitions with my son Christopher, I ran into another mom who was there with her 7-year-old daughter, Arianna. Seems we'd each hit the center looking for something interesting to do that'd keep us out of the midday heat. I asked Arianna to show me her favorite piece, and she was quick to choose one featuring LEGO bricks.

 I recalled Christopher's many years of building elaborate LEGO towns on a large table in his bedroom when he was younger as Arianna told me about her favorite LEGO sets. Soon her mom, Arianna, was telling me about LEGO builds they've attended at Chandler Fashion Center together — and I was sharing tales of a long-ago babysitter who once taught at the school Arianna attends in Scottsdale.

if counting every win will get the title then stoner would have 2 or more title than rossi as you are saying.
stoner is "win it or bin it", that's why he has more win and less 2nd and a lot of DNF and lower than 2nd. look at jlo, lots of 1st and 2nd in the span of 3yrs.
1st - 23
2nd - 7
1st - 21
2nd - 15
1st - 14
2nd - 13
in this game consistency is a key.
manufacturer/people wont recognized you as a great rider by just beating a great rider. you have to win a title to be recognized.
hayden win his title by consistency and also jlo.
both pedro and stoner don't have enough mentality to stay on form on a race day. of course stoner is above than dani.

Solorio: AQMD decision a win for beach bonfire pits
At a recent highly charged and long-anticipated special meeting, the South Coast Air Quality Management District voted to keep the vast majority of Southern California's beach bonfire pits intact, despite having initially proposed a region-wide ban of the pits several months ago.
For the passionate supporters of beach bonfire pits, the vote was a big win. When this ban was initially proposed, thousands of Southern Californians from all walks of life protested the move, giving AQMD no choice but to back away from their proposed ban.
I am pleased by the outcome of the meeting. But, like many fire pit supporters, I have deep concerns about how this issue came to the surface in the first place, and how AQMD chose to handle it.
AQMD proposed this ban without having collected a single shred of data on air quality impacts. The science released afterward was collected to support a pre-determined conclusion.
And if science wasn't the impetus for the initial proposal, what was?
Make no mistake – this debate isn't just about air quality, or even just about fire pits. What's really at stake in this discussion is a much bigger question of public resource access, which has been underneath the surface of these kinds of issues for as long as we have been here.
Public access to our beaches is an idea that is inextricably woven into the very fabric of California's identity. I know I'm not alone when I say I strongly believe that any effort to limit that access, or prevent certain classes of people from enjoying our beaches, is an affront to this age-old agreement that the beach belongs to all of us.
The fire pits discussion raised many crucial questions: to whom do our beaches really belong? Should they be owned and governed exclusively by those of us who happen to own beach-front property?
Despite owning substantial stake in the outcome of this issue, the residents of Santa Ana and other inland cities – who depend on affordable access to the beach more than anyone – have been an afterthought in the fire pits discussion.
Fire pits supporters aren't the only ones noticing the crucial role that the beach access discussion has to play here. A few days before the recent AQMD meeting, the California Coastal Commission staff – who, along with their board members, have been watching this issue closely – sent a letter to AQMD expressing concern about the removal of any fire pits because of such a policy's restrictive impact on public access to the beach.
Fortunately, by placing regulations on fire pits rather than an outright ban, the AQMD action will allow the vast majority of bonfire pits to remain in Orange County.
Although many of us consider this a victory, this should also serve as reminder that the protection of public resources is a responsibility that we all carry. California is home to amazing and beautiful beaches, mountains, parks, trails, open areas, forests, creeks and lakes. Let's cherish and protect them for generations to come.

Citizenship test
Citizenship | His grandparents are American missionaries and his mother is their U.S.-born daughter, but the U.S. embassy in Guatemala insists that little David Alexander Molina isn't an American
HILLSBORO, Ill.-An American missionary couple's daughter and her baby remain in Guatemala after the family was astonished 15 months ago to be told by U.S. embassy employees that her U.S. citizenship does not transfer to her baby. An immigration expert questions that interpretation of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, but the American-born mother has not yet been able to return to the United States with her baby.
Kiara was 13 in 2004 when her parents John and Donna Reynolds took her to the mountains of Guatemala, where they minister through Cross Commission. In doing so, they are now told, they unknowingly lost their future grandson's U.S. citizenship, greatly complicating their American-born daughter's choices and efforts to return to the United States, even to visit. "It's very hard when you're an American citizen and you don't have those rights," said Kiara, now 20 and married to Guatemalan medical student Peter Molina. Their child, David Alexander, is 16 months old.
The family says embassy employees insist the law requires Kiara to have lived in the United States at least two years since she turned 14 for her son to be an American citizen. Had the family known in time, they could have easily satisfied the requirement since they routinely come home to visit family and the churches that support their ministry. "How are you supposed to know that?" said Donna Reynolds, Kiara's mother. "If we'd have ever realized, she'd have come to the U.S. to deliver her baby."
The Reynolds family is back in the United States for a two-and-a-half-month visit to relatives and supporting churches. Kiara would be with them if she could emerge from her bureaucratic entanglement. Since Kiara was in school when they made their return trips, she largely stayed in Guatemala for those years. She returned to the United States three times from 2005 to 2008, with one stay lasting more than three months, but nowhere close to the two-year mandate.
So far, all their efforts end at a window at the U.S. embassy in Guatemala. They have been proceeding with two tracks: still hoping to get the U.S. citizenship for the baby that they think should be his right, and trying to get clearance so the baby can be brought into the country for a visit. "My parents, this is their first [great] grandbaby and they've never met him," Donna said.
Each time they go to the embassy, they drive 130 miles, which is close to a five-hour journey due to the roads, and are directed to the same window-not the line for American citizens, but the longer line for Guatemalans, since the baby is not legally American. There, they wait up to two or three hours holding the 1-year-old baby, to talk to Guatemalan employees of the U.S. embassy, they say, and each time they discover another document requirement. Efforts to speak with American officials in Guatemala have been refused. They are always directed back to the same window. Kiara is pointedly frustrated that she hasn't found someone there who will help her as an American citizen find a way through her problem: "That's what the American embassy is for."
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, agrees: "She's a citizen. She should be handled by a U.S. citizen's officer or team at that embassy." The law itself is complicated and has changed several times. However, this child appears to qualify for citizenship under a summary of the law posted by the U.S. State Department, which states: "If the child's American citizen parent cannot meet the physical presence requirement, it is enough if one of the child's American citizen grandparents can meet it" (travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1312.html#2). The real concern in this case is that the U.S. embassy does not seem to have explained the best option and helped the family get through the application process. "I can understand why they're frustrated," Vaughan said.
For now, the Reynoldses have been "spinning their wheels," with the latest delay a demand by embassy officers for a new copy of the couple's marriage certificate from Guatemala. That has meant a delay of several months so far, because the Guatemalan lawyer they initially used has since had trouble with his license to practice law. The family contends a new marriage certificate from Guatemalan authorities should be irrelevant. The baby has an American mother and that should be enough, they say. Guatemala "makes it very difficult to get paperwork done," Kiara said.
John and Donna Reynolds took their problem to the staff of Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., which has suggested that the baby might be able to acquire a tourist visa. If all had gone according to plan, Kiara's husband would be contemplating applying for a student visa to the United States for a few years, but otherwise the couple expected to live in Guatemala. However, Kiara made those plans anticipating her baby would be a U.S. citizen and that she and the baby could go back and forth freely. "I haven't seen my grandma now in six years," Kiara said. "It's very hard."
The family is frustrated with the law itself-if indeed it prevents citizenship-and they feel that the U.S. government has been unhelpful. John and Donna Reynolds note officials were happy to recognize the citizenship of two of their sons who serve in the U.S. military, although the family lived in Guatemala. Fifteen months into their quest, they remain entangled in bureaucracy.

The Parish Church of Los Santos Juanes is located in the city's historical centre, specifically in a square called Plaza Patio de la Iglesia.
Although the initial temple was a Gothic construction from the 13th-14th century, the contemporary temple is a Neoclassical construction, built in the 18th century. The parish church consists of a single nave with an altar presided by the city's two patron saints: John the Baptist and John the Evangelist.
The bell tower rises up above the church's only surviving chapel. This construction was the only parish church in Cullera until 1950.
The parish church is located on the street Patio de la Iglesia in the city's Historic Centre.

Just wondering if anyone (hopefully more than 1 person) is interested in riding this Sunday morning. I'm thinking an 8 or 9am start time. Not too sure on distance but no more than a few hours in duration. I don't have a lot of group experience so I'm not sure about pace... I'll go with moderate to be on the safe side.
I'm open to suggestion as far as the route goes. I'm at Bathurst/St.Clair but will travel just about anywhere in the city (within reason).

American Idol 9 April 28 2010 – Top Five Revealed!
April 28, 2010 07:13 PM by Candace Young
To open the show, Ryan Seacrest reminds the crowd that there will performances tonight on FOX's American Idol by Rascal Flatts, Sons of Sylvia, Shakira, and Lady Antebellum. Ryan introduces the judges, Simon Cowell, Kara Dioguardi, Ellen Degeneres, and Randy Jackson, and then immediately introduces Rascal Flatts! Read on for highlights and results…
Rascall Flatts perform their song, Unstoppable, live on the Idol stage to the delight of the audience. They chat with Ryan afterward, noting that it's their third time on Idol. Ryan remarks on the band going out on tour soon.
The top six do a Ford music video where they are vampires. Some of them look really freaky! Next, the Idol hopefuls are shown lending their voices to a Shrek movie, and meeting Eddie Murphy at the screening of Shrek Forever After in 3D! Ryan introduces Antonio Banderas and Cameron Diaz from the film, who are in attendance live!
It's time to dim the lights for results. Ryan will form three groups of two on the stage. Siobhan Magnus chats with Ryan and then goes to the far end of the stage. Aaron Kelly is sent to the center of the stage. Michael Lynche stands up and listens to Ryan go over the judges remarks before being asked to stand near to him. Lee Dewyze is sent across to stand with Siobhan. Casey James is the next to talk to Ryan, who then asks him to join Michael Lynche. Crystal Bowersox is the last to stand up and Ryan pairs her with Aaron. Ryan walks Siobhan over to join Casey and Mike – they are the bottom three! Aaron, Lee, and Crystal are safe.
Sons of Sylvia are introduced by Carrie Underwood who has been making music with them practically since she left Idol, and who is a big fan. They perform Love Left to Lose – catchy!
Lady Antebellum takes the stage next to perform their current hit, Need You Now. Shakira arrives at the studio and performs her song Gypsy in a duet with Rascal Flatts – first time ever!
Getting back to results, Ryan joins Mike, Casey, and Siobhan. Mike tells Ryan there is no shame in being in the bottom three since everyone did well last night. Ryan sends him back to safety. Either Casey or Siobhan will leave tonight. Ryan announces that the person going home is Siobhan Magnus. Casey is safe. Siobhan sings her last song and gets hugs from the judges. Randy tells her she has an amazing career in front of her.

Sen. Rand Paul hosted a roundtable discussion yesterday, "PROPERTY WRONGS: A Discussion With the Victims of the U.S. Government's Assault on Private Property," to bring to light a few of many instances of overreach by the U.S. government, Environmental Protection Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, and others. He was joined in the Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building by members of both the House and Senate, including Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), and Reps. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) and Connie Mack IV (R-Fla.), to deliver questions and comments to the attending witnesses.
Sen. Paul indicated that he plans to introduce legislation in the coming days addressing the issues brought forth in today's hearing.
Witnesses included Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO of Gibson Guitars; Mike and Chantell Sackett of Idaho, whose current battle with the EPA is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court this winter; Victoria Pozsgai-Khoury of Pennsylvania, who was representing her father's continuing battle with EPA over erroneous wetland regulations; Peter Nimrod, chief engineer of the Mississippi Levee Board, currently suing EPA to allow for a pumping station in the Mississippi Delta region; and John and Judy Dollarhite of Missouri, rabbit breeders whose side business was shut down and fined exorbitantly by the USDA.
Below is the text of Sen. Paul's opening remarks.
Sen. Rand Paul On America's Newsroom - 10/13/11
The following summarizes some of yesterday's testimony:
Mike and Chantell Sackett. In 2005, Mike and Chantell Sackett of Idaho bought a plot of land with the plans of building a home in a neighborhood where other houses have stood for years. Before beginning work, Chantell made sure to consult with an Army Corps of Engineers official who informed her that they did not need a federal permit. Four years ago they filled the property with dirt and rock preparing to begin construction. Three federal officials showed up and demanded they halt construction claiming the lot was a wetland, protected under the Clean Water Act. The EPA demanded the property to be returned to its original state, meaning hundreds of thousands of dollars to remove the fill material and replanting the vegetation. The Sacketts faced $32,500 in daily fines if they did not comply and criminal liability if they continued construction. Not to mention, the EPA required they fence the property off and submit annual reports on the property's condition. The Sacketts appealed to the Supreme Court and will be heard this winter in the case of Sackett v. EPA.
Victoria Khoury (Daughter of John Pozsgai). In 1986, John Pozsgai of Bucks County, Pa., bought an illegal dump across the street from his house. The dump contained a storm water drainage system and storm water drainage ditch that dated back to 1936. The dump was filled with tires, scrap metal, and other objects. He cleaned up the dump with plans to build a 12,500-square-foot building that would expand his business and enhance his community. Within months of acquiring the property, John was contacted by the Army Corps of Engineers informing him of the presence of wetlands. However, he did not fully understand these notices and his lawyer was of no help (the lawyer was later reprimanded for drunkenness in court). In 1987, the Army Corps civilly sued John to restore the property to its previous condition. When John was told by the Army Corps he needed a permit to build his truck repair shop, he obtained a water quality permit from Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Resources, even though the Department of Environmental Resources informed him that the property was not on the National Wetlands Inventory. The Army Corps referred the case to the EPA, who then referred it to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. During this process, the Army Corps was still asking for more information to process John's permit. John was then arrested and his home was searched for weapons by two EPA officers. John was sentenced to three years in prison and a $202,000 fine for violating the Clean Water Act. At the time Mr. Pozsgai was sentenced, he was the 'worst environmental violator' in the history of the United States.
Peter Nimrod, Chief Engineer of the Mississippi Levee Board. The EPA stopped a vital flood control project in the Mississippi Delta, the Yazoo Backwater Project, claiming it would harm wetlands, leaving the residents of the South Delta the only people in the Mississippi River watershed without effective flood control in place. Under the Clean Water Act (Section 404(r)) the EPA is prohibited from vetoing any project approved by Congress prior to Dec. 27, 1977, when the environmental impacts of the project were made known to Congress before construction began. Such is the case with the proposed pumping station that the EPA is not allowing in the Yazoo Backwater Project. The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners is suing the EPA.
Jim Boyd. Jim Boyd and his family have owned Smith Family Farm in the Chesapeake area of Virginia for more than two decades, but EPA is now trying to claim that it, not the Boyds, controls the property - on the grounds that it is "wetlands." However, there is no hydrological connection to navigable water. The EPA is violating the Supreme Court's wetlands definitions in the landmark case of Rapanos v. EPA.
Mayor Tom Moodie. Grand Rivers, a small Kentucky town of 350, has been battling the EPA, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and archeological groups for over two years as they try to build a new, and badly needed, sewer treatment facility. They are demanding that Grand Rivers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on impact studies of mussels and archeology before the new plant is built. The city does not have the money for these studies. Also, a few times a year the current plant has to be shut down, forcing them to re-route sewage into the river. The new site for the facility is about half-mile from the current site.
John and Judy Dollarhite. John and Judy Dollarhite of Nixa, Mo., have been sentenced a $90,643 fine from USDA for a "paperwork violation" after the family sold some rabbits to a local pet store. This violation in the Animal Welfare Act was intended to prevent the abuse of animals. Over the past few years the Dollarhites have raised and sold a few hundred rabbits as a part-time job to teach their son responsibility. Local experts praised the Dollarhites for the pristine condition they kept the rabbits in on their three-acre lot where their home sits.

State: Calculating Total Stimulus Jobs 'Tricky'
Tracking The Recovery Act Money, Jobs
As President Barack Obama pushes the new jobs bill, 7NEWS looked into how many jobs were created in Colorado by the first Recovery Act in 2009.It turns out that number is not easy to find. In fact, the Colorado Governor's Recovery Act Office told 7NEWS the process is "tricky" and said they were "not comfortable coming up with that calculation."We also found that the number of jobs which were created and then actually retained could not be calculated.Part of the Federal Economic Recovery Act is accountability and reporting so the public can track the money on www.Recovery.gov. More than $5 billion Recovery Act dollars have been invested in Colorado.Since there is no running total of jobs created, 7NEWS broke down the most recent data from April through June 2011.During that time, 7,849 jobs were paid for with Recovery Act funding. During the same time frame 7NEWS found 265 projects that reported creating no jobs using $306,052,860 Recovery Act.Although the Colorado Governors Recovery Act Office does not calculate the total number of jobs created, a report from the Council of Economic Advisors in 2010 estimated the Recovery Act impact in Colorado is about 50,000 jobs.As for the new jobs bill, the White House told 7NEWS Colorado's share of the funding could total $265 million and would support up to 3,400 jobs.

Hurriyet newspaper publishes photos of Israeli Commando soldiers bruised, bleeding after being beaten by activists aboard Gaza-bound Marmara aid vessel. Report says army erased photos, but they were reproduced. IDF: Images prove ship was carrying mercenaries
Published: 06.06.10, 09:49 / Israel News
In the pictures, taken in the moments before the IDF succeeded in taking control of the ship, the soldiers are shown bleeding and some of them being led by the activists on board.
The widely-circulated paper says the photos were purposefully censored by Israel, and that they had been saved by one of the activists, who salvaged them from a digital memory stick.
'Commando tears' - Hurriyet headline (from newspaper)
"The people of the IHH presented the photos of the soldiers' neutralization, which the Israeli army attempted to contain in order to prevent damage to their image," the Hurriyet wrote.
The soldiers' faces are clearly shown in the photos, whereas the Israeli press blurred them in order to protect the identity of those who took part in the raid.
The IDF Spokesperson's Office expressed its satisfaction with the Turkish newspapers' decision to publish the photos. "This is clear proof of Israel's repeated claims, that the boat was carrying mercenaries, whose sole purpose was to kill the soldiers.
"The images could have been different, had the soldiers chosen to shoot any civilian who approached them. Thanks to their strength and deep understanding of the event, the Navy Commandos managed to distinguish between a peace activist and a terrorist."

Jancis Robinson starts her article stating that "South America has become an invaluable source of great-value wine but a wine lover's view of the continent is probably completely skewed by which side of the Atlantic he or she lives on."
First, Robinson makes reference to the UK view: "To the British, South American wine comes from Chile. Much of it is reliable and inexpensive but the country's winemakers have been moving determinedly, occasionally recklessly, upmarket." In this sense, she explains that Chile can now produce not just well-made Cabernet, Merlot and Carmenère (the old Bordeaux variety long confused with Merlot in Chile's vineyards) but Syrah, Pinot Noir, some of the most interesting old-vine Carignan in the world and a range of competent white wines.
Then, the Master of Wine compares this market with the US, where "Chile means cheap and, however hard Chilean exporters try, few US wine drinkers are prepared to look to Chile for anything other than a bargain."
Moreover, Robinson emphasizes the Argentinian Malbec phenomenon in the US market: "US wine drinkers, on the other hand, have fallen hook, line and sinker for Malbec, the emblematic red wine of Argentina and the fastest-growing varietal red in the US. Argentinian Malbec offers effortless ripeness, spiciness, robust alcohol and accessibility but at a fraction of the price of a comparable California Cabernet. So in these budget-conscious times, it has been making inroads in the crucial USD15-USD20 a bottle bracket. In fact, so popular has Malbec become in the US that Cahors, the once super-traditional appellation of south-west France dependent on the same grape variety, has jettisoned the local names for the grape, Cot and Auxerrois, and pinned its marketing hopes on the M-word."
As regards the influence of Argentinian wines in the rest of the world, the Financial Times columnist points out that "while Argentinian wine, though 100 times better than it was 15 years ago, struggles to make an impact in Europe, the US is the biggest export market for Argentina, followed by Canada and only then the UK, closely rivalled by the Netherlands –despite the fact that Wines of Argentina has invested more in the UK than anywhere else."
Furthermore, Robinson explains Argentina and Chile's strategies to succeed abroad. "Last year 35 wine writers and sommeliers were invited to travel from Britain to Argentina's sunny wine country – more than from the US. Yet such largesse does not seem to result in sales. While Chilean wine accounts for about nine per cent of UK wine sales, Argentina's tally is only just over one per cent. (In the US, both countries represent about nine per cent of imported wine by volume but Argentina has already overtaken Chile in terms of value.) Part of the explanation is, presumably, that there are relatively few big-volume brands in Argentinian wine compared with the likes of Concha y Toro, Cono Sur, Isla Negra and Los Robles – all part of the same giant Chilean producer and able to make a real impact on British supermarket shelves. It is possible that for many European palates, the ripest, sweetest, strongest Argentinian reds are just a bit too much, whereas to palates more used to California reds, they taste fine," she maintains.
Concerning Argentinian grape varieties Robinson points out that she "would like to put in a special plea for Argentina's luscious but well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon, which is in danger of being overlooked in the current Malbec mania – a reversal of the situation in the 1980s, when the indigenous and ubiquitous Malbec was scorned in favor of the imported Cabernet that seemed so exotically French and smart. Argentinian growers ripped up 80 per cent of all Malbec plantings between the 1960s and 1990 so that even today the total area of Argentinian vineyard planted with Malbec is not much more than that planted with the rather less noble Bonarda." Besides, she continues, "there has been a huge improvement in white winemaking in Argentina but, at present, barring the scented Torrontés grape and some successful Chardonnay in the higher reaches of Mendoza, this is a red wine country arguably dangerously dependent on one grape variety – and one giant wine region, Mendoza."
Finally, the Master of Wine emphasized that Chile's winemaking situation is quite different. "The same cannot be said of widely diversified Chile, and perhaps the most exciting thing about the country is how rapidly its wine scene has been evolving, with an ever-wider range of successful grape varieties and newer, cooler wine regions emerging all the time," Robinson concludes.

20th Century Fox Television has done it again: Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's brilliantly subversive animated sci-fi comedy "Futurama" will return to production on 26 new half-hour episodes more than six years after the series aired its last original episode.
"Futurama" was a staple of Fox's Sunday night animation block from 1999 to 2003 before ceasing production on original episodes. In June 2006, Comedy Central acquired the rights to the existing 72 episodes of the series, which the channel began airing in January 2008, and four recently-produced extended length "Futurama" adventures: "Bender's Big Score", "The Beast with a Billion Backs", "Bender's Game" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder", which enjoyed enormous success both on Comedy Central and in DVD release.
This new deal marks the show's return to episodic series production on original episodes. "Futurama" becomes only the second series in the history of the medium to go back into production based on the strength of its DVD sales and repeat airings on cable.
The new episodes will be available in mid 2010 to be shown on Comedy Central. Twentieth Century Fox Television retains the option to license the original runs of the new episodes to a broadcast network.

The Originals
The Originals Ratings Return Down — But Here's Why It Will Be Renewed For Season 2
The Originals returned to its Tuesday night timeslot this week with one of its best episodes to date, Season 1, Episode 10 ("The Casket Girls"). However, it looks like a few fang fans missed the memo. The ratings for the winter premiere were down slightly from Episode 9, with a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demo.
But don't worry, Originals fans. It's still one of the most highly rated shows on the CW. If the freshman series keeps its ratings steady (and we don't foresee a free-fall in its future), then we see no reason why the network wouldn't renew it for a second season. During Wednesday's CW presentation at the 2014 TCAs, network president Mark Pedowitz told reporters he's optimistic about a renewal for The Originals as well as freshman series Reign and veteran Supernatural.
Back in November, Pedowitz told The Wrap, "'Originals' has performed quite well in comparison to how 'The Vampire Diaries' was. I believe over time it'll be a stellar performer." If the president of the network thinks it will be a "stellar performer" over time, then that means they've already considered its longevity.
At this point, The Originals is definitely heading toward a second season renewal, so rest easy, fang fans. Klaus and Co. will most likely be back next season with even more supernatural drama in the bayou — and if we're really lucky, even more opportunities for another Vampire Diaries crossover! (Yes, we're looking at you, Caroline Forbes.)
What do you think, Originals fans? Are you excited the TVD spin-off is a ratings success? Sound off in the comments!Crystal Bell is an editor at Wetpaint Entertainment and our resident fangirl for all things The Vampire Diaries. Follow her on Twitter and Google+!

Pasteur Jean-Christophe Bieselaar is overworked and understaffed in Paris, for the glory of God. His email contained news of vandalism to his church, L'Eglise Protestante Evangelique de la Défense, and concluded with this note: "Let me tell you the truth as a pastor, can I? This is bad-and discouraging."
But that is the middle of a story, not an ending.
Pamela, a distant acquaintance, shared the dark night of her soul at a meeting in 1998: Her father was leaving her mother for a woman younger than his daughter. Devastation. Sackcloth and ashes. End of the world as Pamela knew it.
That was also the middle of the story. When I met her over breakfast recently she was radiant. She had seen over nine years that the Lord brings about the most improbably wonderful finales: the restoration of a family to more glory than before the tragedy. No wonder Abraham's son was named "laughter." Back in '98, Pam would have changed the hand dealt her. But, as a retreat speaker once said, "Would you really want to be in control of your own life? I can't even reset the clock on my VCR."
The end of a matter is what counts (Ecclesiastes 7:8). If the end is nice, the middle mess is not only bearable but takes on the endpoint's sheen. "Not only this valley but all this earthly past will have been Heaven to those who are saved. . . . This is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory" (C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce).
Satan wants you to believe the middle will last forever. A bit of the blues comes your way and you say, "Life stinks"-which is quite an extrapolation. But remember, the Polaroid shot of a tossed ball snapped at its arc's midpoint only seems to be stuck in the air. It won't stay there. The woman with the 12 years of bleeding (Luke 8) and the man lame for 38 years (John 5)-these are stories short in the reading but long in the living. But see what Jesus brought about.
Someone I love is presently perplexed that the Lord seemed to "dangle" a blessing in his life, only to snatch it away. "Why would God get my hopes up to let me down?" The short answer is "I don't know." The longer answer, from three decades' extra perspective, is that God, like any good Father, sees around corners for His children and snatches them out of the way of oncoming cars. He also drags His kids, kicking and screaming, from their cherished mud puddles, to take them to the beach.
Job, stuck in a brutal middle, cried, "I know that my Redeemer lives" (19:25). And that is the key to everything, to surviving brutal middles. "This is the victory that overcomes the world-our faith" (1 John 5:4). Those who believe not merely survive but flourish: "As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs" (Psalm 84:6).
My brother Marc, in God Still Loves the French, chronicles 20 years of beating his head against the wall as a missionary in France. I don't know, does God still love the French? Does he love Pasteur Jean-Christophe Bieselaar? Bieselaar and Mailloux in France are not unlike Paul in Asia, whose life was messy in the middle freeze frames.
And so are we all "afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair" (2 Corinthians 4:8). A cloud of witnesses flanks the path of suffering, each one a living spring, dispensing ablutions of inspiration like so many cheering fans thrusting water cups along the Tour de France.

What are we coming to when medicines are denied to patients, yet drug addicts are given free drugs or substitutes to feed their addiction, alcoholics are given an allowance by the state to feed their addiction, extra if they have a dog. They are provided with free breakfasts at local hostelries.
Young single mothers and the unemployed seem to be the only people who can afford to smoke.
Our local shop adjacent to the local school, is crowded at nine o'clock in the morning with many mothers buying 20 cigarettes or more, their first can of beer, then off to the local cafes for a full English breakfast. This would indicate that their kids have either not had any breakfast of had to do with toast or cereal. Some of the comments overheard being 'Oh I'm not going to get a job yet, I want to enjoy life.' That's not including the 'F' word, which has to be spoken after every third word or so it seems. The tattoos would shame a 2nd World War Royal Navy stoker, who were reknown for their art work. At the same times moaning how hard up they are with, they claim, insufficient benefits to cope. In this weather some of the small shops are keeping their doors open because of the BO, It costs nothing to keep clean.
Then the latest headlines that four million people in this country have never had a job in their lives and have lived on benefits. What a state.
Then there is the problem of old age, All my life I struggled to get into my own house. Like many others I am likely to have to sell my home if I need care in my old age, to pay for my care. But, those that have never worked, and never contributed anything, will get everything free.
Final moan is that this country cannot deport the hundreds of murderers , thugs, and other riff raff that have entered this country because of their human rights.
So, What are we coming to?

text: Home Culture Teacher Suspended for Racist Halloween Rant The Ohio music teacher was suspended after posting a rant on Facebook complaining about trick-or-treaters, using the n-word. By: Breanna Edwards Posted: Oct. 28 2013 5:00 PM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock) An Ohio music teacher has been suspended after taking to Facebook to complain about trick-or-treaters in a racially charged post. Akron Firestone High School teacher David Spondike expressed his annoyance at "ghetto" children, alleging that they had urinated in front of his home. He used the n-word twice in the post, the Raw Story reports: I don't mind if you come from the ghetto to trick or treat," Spondike posted. "But when you whip out your teeny ***** and **** on the telephone pole in front of my front yard and some preschoolers and toddlers, you can take your ******-*** back where it came from. I don't have anything against anyone of any color, but *******, stay out! The post was later removed and Spondike apologized to "those offended," then deleted his account. The school placed him on administrative leave, and a school official said that case evidence was sent to the Ohio Department of Education. Read more at the Raw Story. Like The Root on Facebook.

I have a few zones in my Windows Server DNS.
I wish to add around 50 unique aliases to the existing zone. Is there any trick I can use? I've tried to google for it where the odd post suggests using
dnscmd .. but I'm not sure if this is right and if so, how AND what the file format should be.
Assume that all the aliases are in a file.

of course, I can wire up the file into any format and columns, required.

Hello, Helios
Back when I was still in grade school, there was a major eclipse. It was a huge event, one that comes once every century or so. That day, it was rumored that teachers were not going to let students go out for recess due to the risks that were potentially associated with looking up at it. Fortunately, they relented and students were allowed to go out and play. We were also allowed to take a piece of paper out to look through to provide a light filter for us, though we were still asked to use sunglasses if we had them. I did not, and I really could not see through the paper all that well, so in all my infinite wisdom as the young grade school student that I was, I took a chance and looked up at the eclipse with my naked eyes.
My friends often joke that this was what has caused me to have so many vision problems, and they may well be right.
I still remember the very sight of it burning me, my eyes instantly watering and causing no small amount of discomfort, though I hesitate to call it pain. Still, I was left in awe. I had seen something that so few others ever would. Children born just after that event would likely never see something like it in all their lives. In some ways, I liken it to looking up into the face of a mighty god and having them look back at me.
"Hello, Helios."
Of course, now – more than two decades later – there are much safer ways of looking up into the eye of Helios. For example, check out the Helioviewer Project. This incredible application allows users to look up at the sun from the comfort and safety of their homes and see it in a whole new light. Check it out for yourselves, I cannot recommend doing so highly enough. As part of the application, you can ask it to record you a video of what the sun is currently doing at that very moment. Do it. I did, and what I saw was incredible. I could see streams of energy, almost like a series of Ley Lines, running across the surface of the sun, their incredible power surging and ebbing every few seconds. I could see the sun roiling, as though containing a great force just below its surface, and could not help but be completely awestruck by what I was seeing. This is incredible. This is a miracle of the modern, bringing the splendor of our life-giving star to our very homes for our own pleasure and education. Now imagine this project as a learning tool in the classroom. The side-by-side comparison to Earth that they have in the lower left corner of the image gives a clearer indication to me of just how miniscule our entire planet is compared to the awesome might and power of the sun than any textbook or film presentation every has.
I mean it. Stop what you are doing right now and check this out. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

Variety 0.4.11 was released today. This is mainly a bugfix release. Version 0.4.10 greatly increased the exposure of Variety and with many more users giving it a go, naturally more bugs are being found and reported. Thumbs up to everyone who took the time to report a bug!
Here is an overview of the most important fixes and additions in 0.4.11:
- Added an option to have Move to Favorites or both Copy and Move to Favorites in the menu instead of just Copy to Favorites. This can be configured on a folder by folder basis. Thus the user can for example have Move to Favorites for folders with randomly collected images and Copy to Favorites for organized albums.
- Move to Trash was not working correctly. It was moving the files to the trash folder, but in a way that did not make it possible to restore them from the Trash window and emptying trash was not actually removing them. Please check if you have any leftover files in ~/.local/share/Trash and delete them manually.
- It was possible for the thumbnails display to continue using CPU after closing it from the window manager (e.g. via Gnome Shell's overview).
- Preferences dialog was too high for netbooks with 600 px screen height. It now sizes more dynamically, so netbook users should be fine.
- There were some issues with the right-click popup menu in the thumbnail area that were making it inconvenient in some situations
If you have installed Variety via its ppa – ppa:peterlevi/ppa – then you will get the upgrade via Update Manager or you may do it manually by calling
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
The updated DEB file is here.
Have fun using Variety and expect great new features in the releases to follow!
