Recently I was given a monitor to test out that had a VGA port on it only, amidst all of my computer peripherals and components I just for the life of me couldn't find a VGA cable or adapter. This was tragic as it meant that I couldn't test the monitor and complete my work, in desperation I shot up to the local computer shop to see what I could purchase there to give me a helping hand. There was plenty that I could have bought such as cables and twin adapters and other such products but I chose the StarTech DVI to VGA adapter.
I chose this because it was only £2.99 and this meant that I wouldn't have any more wires trailing around the back of my computer just being a health hazard. So when I took this out of the casing the first thing I did was drop it, sounds silly but I did drop it on purpose to test how well it could take a beating. The heard rubber casing surrounding the two ports was incredibly tough and I'm pretty sure you could throw this around all day and it would still work.
The adapter itself is pretty small as I did see some chunky looking ones but this thing wasn't a problem in the size department. It's a standard size for a DVI port and then shrinks towards the smaller VGA port. The rubber casing is all black and is tough and durable.
Plugging this thing in wasn't a problem but I found the screws on the VGA side really hard to screw in because it was so small and I just could get my fingers around them to twist them in. In the end I had to compromise and leave the thing unscrewed and hope that it wouldn't fall out. So for people with bigger fingers like me beware this can be a problem, as I was just testing a product I want too bothered about this but if it was a permanent placement then it would be of concern.
This did display perfectly and it is a product which I may use again, it's a strange product to say if I would recommend or not because it does do its job but the fact that it is really hard to screw in on the VGA end really lets this down for a permanent product. On the plus side its durable, it will last and it can reduce the amount of wires you have behind your computer or monitor.

Others make me cry… Today's post makes me feel a whole bunch of things at once… I laugh, I cry, and feel inspired with the power of the human spirit. I also feel profoundly grateful and humbled. Why? Because this is one incredibly powerful project and such a simple concept – making cancer patients forget about their illness, if only for a second… On June 17th this year, Mimi Foundation, in collaboration with Leo Burnett France, invited 20 cancer patients to participate in a unique makeover experience. The day was transformed into a 60 pages book titled "If only for a second", with the help of photographer Vincent Dixon. Every photo is followed by a caption, the date and the time it was taken, and most importantly, the exact second when each of the 20 people forgot about their disease. I urge you to watch the emotional film which shows the whole adventure. If you're anything like me, then perhaps you might like to grab a tissue. Wonderful uplifting project that spreads smiles and happiness. I feel deeply moved. Related Post: The Tutu Project by Bob Carey.

Let's state the obvious first, primarily, puppys use puppy pads. While puppys use puppy pads, other dogs do too, and more importantly, it's the pet owners and other businesses that actually buy the puppy pads for their animals. Puppy Pads are ideal for many consumers, from individual pet owners to pet-related businesses.
For the DIY pet owner, puppy pads are the easiest way to potty-train your new pet. Your dog will easily catch on as you gradually move the pads towards the outdoors and eventually outside! Puppy Pads are also ideal for apartment-dwelling pet owners who don't always have the chance to get their dog outdoors. Pets can eliminate on the pads when you are hard at work, and you simply toss them in the garbage.
Owners of older or ill pets can also benefit from Puppy Pads. You can simply place the pads on your pet's bed, on furniture, or anywhere else your older pet may have an accident. Sometimes older pets cannot make it outside anymore, and puppy pads can help make them comfortable in their own territory for longer.
Many animals get nervous or scared when attending their regular vet appointments, and this nervousness can sometimes cause accidents to occur. Vet offices swear by Puppy Pads, because they are easy to use and can be disposed of quickly if one of their patients has an accident. Many Vet Offices also use Puppy Pads in the Kennel area of their office, when animals need overnight care. If a pet has an accident in their kennel, it can be easily cleaned and made comfortable for the pet quickly.
Another pet-related service that benefits from Puppy Pads is your local dog groomer. Puppy Pads not only absorb any accidents your pet may have while at the groomer, but they can absorb water, soap and shampoo that your dog may shake off onto the floor. Keeping the floors of the dog groomer's office dry, helps keep both employees and pets safe.
If you are in the business of dog breeding or dog training, untrained puppies are everywhere. Keeping a supply of puppy pads on hand is very helpful to help eliminate the mess puppies can make until they have been adopted or properly trained. Breeders can also use puppy pads to show potential buyers how easy it would be to train their new pup, if dog training is something a buyer is concerned about. Trainers can begin to teach the puppies to use the Puppy Pads, and then the owner can utilize the same training methods at home for consistency.
It's not easy for a pet owner to kennel an animal while on vacation. Animals may feel uneasy in a new environment and around other animals, which may cause them to have accidents. Kennels keep a stock supply of Puppy Pads to help keep the kennel environment clean when accidents occur. Kennel workers can easily clean up messes with disposable puppy pads, effectively keeping pets comfortable until their owners return.

JARRAD Grant played in the VFL reserves on Sunday.
Sadly the sight of the No.5 pick in the 2007 draft kicking dew at Williamstown sums up the state of affairs at the Western Bulldogs.
It's a well-told story that recruiting manager at the time, Scott Clayton, said after the draft: "If Jarrad Grant's not the best player after them (No.1 Matthew Kreuzer and No.2 Trent Cotchin), then I'll swim to Williamstown from here."
All recruiters have a couple of shockers; that's the nature of the business.
The problem for the Dogs is some bad decisions at the draft table are coming home to roost big time.
It must be noted before you read the following that recruiters like to mention at this point that they're not responsible for the development of players.
In other words we can bring the talent in but it's not our fault if they don't prosper with the appropriate coaching.
Who is to blame for the mess at the Whitten Oval can be debated long and hard, but the facts are disturbing for Dogs fans.
1) OF the five selections at the 2006 national draft, none remains. The first pick was Andrejs Everitt at No.11. Players who were overlooked include James Frawley, Jack Riewoldt, Chris Dawes, Kurt Tippett, Robbie Gray and Justin Westhoff.
2) IN 2007 when Grant went at No.5, the following were still available: Lachie Henderson, Ben McEvoy, Patrick Dangerfield, Cyril Rioli and Harry Taylor.
3) THE 2009 draft, the first for recruiting manager Simon Dalrymple after Clayton went to Gold Coast, has been a bust.
Christian Howard, first pick at No.15, has played one game this year. Jason Tutt (31) and Lukas Markovic (63) have struggled, while Shane Thorne (76) is no longer around.
Those missed in favour of Howard include Daniel Menzel, Nathan Fyfe, Ryan Bastinac, Jake Carlisle, Mitch Duncan, Sam Reid, Allen Christensen and Nathan Vardy.
4) IN 2010 the Dogs struck gold with two father-son selections in Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore. Eight other players were added to the list, including trades for Nathan Djerrkura and Justin Sherman. Only one remains and that's ex-Swan Patrick Veszpremi, who can't get a game in the current climate.
5) THE most glaring hole is a lack of a key forward. Barry Hall filled the void for a few of years but the fact the Dogs have been unable to get any key-position talent is head-scratching. Liam Jones will be a good player, but he's not ready to be the main man. There was a play for Dawes in the trade period but he chose Melbourne, while out-of-favour Essendon big man Scott Gumbleton was considered but was not really courted. Given his form this year, that seems another bad decision.

This isn't really current news, although I just stumbled across it today, and wanted to post. Tommy Gable, 31, lead singer for Against Me!, has always known she is a woman, and will begin the transition. News became public after Gable talked about it in an interview with Rolling Stone. The interview is awesome and a great read for anyone. I especially appreciated it, in the sense of the way Gable talks about her feelings and her struggle to become move public about what she always kew to be real.
As Gabel explains it, "The cliché is that you're a woman trapped in a man's body, but it's not that simple. It's a feeling of detachment from your body and from yourself. And it's shitty, man. It's really fucking shitty."
Singers and other performers are "brands" if you will, and so much of that brand identity is tied into how the audience perceives the person. I didn't know Gable at all before reading this, and so of course, the first thing I did was search YouTube. The music won't become a favorite for me, but I was astonished as I became aware of the stereotypes and assumptions I brought to it, and the expectations I had of Gable, simply from the sound as well as from the visuals. Learning more about me was great, and learning more about why a person, and in this case, this singer,felt the need to transition is really important stuff. I think the majority of people don't know how to comprehend feeling as if you are a different gender, so the more trans persons talk about their journey and their feelings, it can really help others understand.
But the best part was reading many of the comments- some very supportive, some not, and some downright rude. For me the specifics are not the thing, rather, that dialogue is happening about what is gender, gender identity and expression, and what it means for someone who is already public to be public in a new way.
Hope you get as much out of this story as I did!

'Post' editor Col Allan being sent to Australia to guide News Corp. papers there
New York Post editor-in-chief Col Allan is leaving the paper—temporarily at least.
The tabloid's top man is being shipped off to his native Australia to provide "extra editorial leadership" for News Corp's papers there, according to an internal company memo that was distributed this evening and obtained by Capital.
Story Continued Below
"It will be invaluable for our papers in Australia to have the benefit of his insight, expertise and talent," said News Corp. C.E.O. Robert Thomson, also an Australian, in the memo.
The Australian detail will last for two to three months, starting next Monday, and longtime News Corp. lieutenant Jesse Angelo will oversee the Post during that time.
All of this is sure to fuel speculation about Allan and Angelo's futures at the Post. Insiders have been wondering how much longer Allan will stay on as editor, and Angelo has long been seen as heir to the editorship.
He was named publisher of the Post, where he'd previously been one of Allan's main newsroom deputies, after News Corp. last November closed down its struggling iPad publication, The Daily, of which Angelo had served as editor.
But Angelo had been consolidating power at the Post even before then, having taken on a larger role in the paper's online strategy as early as last March. The paper is currently gearing up for a relaunch of its website.
Word of Allan's temporary reassignment comes less than a month after the corporate split that separated News Corp. papers like the Post from entertainment and television assets like Fox News, which now trade under a separate company called 21st Century Fox.
News Corp. Australia consists of dozens of papers, including The Australian, The Herald Sun and The Daily Telegraph, where Allan was once editor-in-chief. (He's been the Post's editor since 2001.) Recent News Corp. earnings reports have singled out the Australian titles for "lower advertising revenues."
The new News Corp. publishing entity has been given a fresh start with $2.6 billion in cash, and reorganizations have been occurring company-wide. The Post, which is beloved by News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch but said to lose tens of millions of dollars a year, for instance, recently reduced its newsroom headcount by 10 percent through buyouts and layoffs. The Wall Street Journal, another U.S. News Corp. paper, is also restructuring in the wake of the split.
Thomson's full memo on Allan is below:
Dear Colleagues
I am writing to inform you of a temporary change we are undertaking to provide our Australian newspapers with additional editorial direction at a particularly challenging time.
I have asked Col Allan, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post, to spend the next two or three months working with Kim Williams and providing extra editorial leadership for our papers, which are in the midst of an important period of transition in our key markets.
Col, who will be in our Australian offices next Monday, will return to his position as Editor-in-Chief of the New York Post following the assignment. In his temporary absence, Jesse Angelo, the Publisher (and a former Executive Editor) of the Post, will oversee our very talented journalistic team.
I would like to thank Col for taking on this project. It will be invaluable for our papers in Australia to have the benefit of his insight, expertise and talent. I am also grateful to Jesse for his willingness to accept additional responsibilities during this time. His talent and dedication are greatly appreciated.
The ability to utilize our assets globally and across platforms is a core strength of the new News Corp - we all have much to learn from each other.
Robert Thomson

JLo's showbiz life 'too much for Maksim'
The intense interest in Jennifer Lopez's love life apparently put the final nail in the coffin of her budding romance with dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
The 44-year-old singer's personal life has been making headlines of late, following allegations her ex-boyfriend Casper Smart had engaged in lewd messages with two transsexual models. He has completely denied the claims, with reports suggesting he and Jennifer ended their two-and-a-half year relationship several months ago.
It was then speculated that Jennifer had struck up a romance with Dancing with the Stars hunk Maksim Chmerkovskiy, although that was quickly denied. It's now been claimed that Maksim couldn't get used to the intense interest in Jennifer's life.
"It would be a turnoff to anyone," an insider told New York Post. "It's already gotten too over-the-top."
It was claimed that Jennifer and dancer Maksim grew close after they performed together at the American Music Awards in November. However, it was the singer herself who denied the claims via her Twitter page, firing back after a radio station suggested they were an item.
"No I'm not. #rumors #nottrue #AKAinstoresJune17 (sic)," she wrote, adding a plug for her new record A.K.A.
Being linked to another star is nothing new for Maksim, who was previously thought to be dating Kate Upton and his DWTS partner Meryl Davis. He recently spoke out about all the rumours surrounding him and his partners on the ballroom dancing US TV series, admitting it comes as no surprise when the speculation starts.
"Do you know what a showmance is?" he asked in Social Life magazine. "When you spend three months very closely with someone... it is like a summer love. You have no choice but to get involved."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Slave In The Dismal Swamp - Poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In dark fens of the Dismal Swamp
The hunted Negro lay;
He saw the fire of the midnight camp,
And heard at times a horse's tramp
And a bloodhound's distant bay.
Where will-o'-the-wisps and glow-worms shine,
In bulrush and in brake;
Where waving mosses shroud the pine,
And the cedar grows, and the poisonous vine
Is spotted like the snake;
Where hardly a human foot could pass,
Or a human heart would dare,
On the quaking turf of the green morass
He crouched in the rank and tangled grass,
Like a wild beast in his lair.
A poor old slave, infirm and lame;
Great scars deformed his face;
On his forehead he bore the brand of shame,
And the rags, that hid his mangled frame,
Were the livery of disgrace.
All things above were bright and fair,
All things were glad and free;
Lithe squirrels darted here and there,
And wild birds filled the echoing air
With songs of Liberty!
On him alone was the doom of pain,
From the morning of his birth;
On him alone the curse of Cain
Fell, like a flail on the garnered grain,
And struck him to the earth!

text: UK 31 August 2012 How the immigration cap is strangling our universities The restrictions on foreign students are costing the UK £3bn a year. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML When even the Daily Telegraph says that the government's immigration policy is too restrictive, you know that something's gone badly wrong. The cause of the Telegraph's ire is the coalition's disastrous decision to include students in the immigration cap, a policy that is costing us £2bn-£3bn a year. It notes: "[E]ven with the new curbs, ministers can probably only meet the migration target by depriving universities of thousands of genuine students, many of whom would go on to make a glittering contribution to this country." The latest immigration figures showed that the number of visas issued to international students fell by 21% in the year to June 2012. Normally the news that one of our biggest export industries has declined by a fifth in a year would be cause for alarm, but ministers hailed it as proof that they were making progress towards their goal of dramatically reducing net migration. Immigration minister Damian Green said he was hopeful that "the fall we've now started seeing in these figures up to the end of last year will continue in the months and years ahead." In other words, the government is hoping that the university sector will decline at the fastest rate possible. Such masochistic policy is, of course, the inevitable result of Cameron's populist (and unachievable) pledge to reduce net migration to "tens of thousands" a year, a level not seen since the days of the Major government. With the government unable to restrict EU immigration (unless it leaves the club altogether), its only option is to squeeze non-EU migration as hard as it can and that means closing the door to thousands of would-be students. In today's FT, Richard Lambert, the Chancellor of Warwick University and the former head of the CBI, writes of how "The UK Border Agency is putting intense pressure on several institutions, including well-run ones, where vice-chancellors claim they are having to account for their international students' whereabouts almost in real time." There's still little chance of Cameron meeting his target, but at least he'll be able to boast that the numbers are "moving in the right direction" (even as our shrinking economy is further enfeebled). Yet since most student migration is short-term (they study, then leave), reduced immigration now means reduced emigration later, so the impact on net migration is negligible. Is the government really strangling one of our most successful sectors so that it can temporarily claim that immigration is coming down? The answer is yes. › Morning Call: pick of the papers David Cameron talks to UK border agency officials in their control room during a visit to Heathrow terminal 5. Photograph: Getty Images.

|Strength of Schedule Report
August 24, 2012
Weekly Planner
Week 22
Cain gets about as good a draw as a pitcher can possibly get this week, facing what are perhaps baseball's two worst offenses. The only thing that would make this better is if he were facing them at home.
Maybe I just expect a lot from my pitchers, but the list of guys I would absolutely start is quite limited this week.
Gallardo and Estrada get half of the Cain treatment with a start against the Cubs, and an outing each against the Pirates ain't too shabby either.
I discussed Corbin when I added him to the Value Picks list yesterday. He gets a great matchup against the Dodgers in LA, but Cincinnati could give him a little trouble.
A.J. Burnett was one of my pet players this year, drafting him in LABR (though I traded him this past week for Craig Kimbrel). While he's been better than anyone could have hoped for, this might be the week to sit him down if you have other options. The Cardinals and Brewers offenses won't be easy to get past.
Francis might be a bit of a shock to see on the consider list, but he gets two very good match-ups this week, albeit in Coors. I really do like his skills—he has tremendous control and generates groundballs—although the Rockies' 75-pitch limit makes him a fringe option in deeper mixed leagues.
I love Capuano, especially on a week-by-week basis where you don't really have to worry about his health (though he's been surprisingly durable this season). Against poor offenses he'd easily get my "start" seal of approval, but his match-ups this week are terrible.
Tyler Chatwood gets an asterisk because he may not get that second start, depending on how the Rockies decide to deploy their pitchers. Both would be good match-ups and might tempt me to use him in deeper leagues (like NL-only formats), but mixed leaguers can leave him alone given the uncertainty and, well, the fact that he's Tyler Chatwood.
The Padres SP was going to be Jason Marquis, but he hit the DL and will be replaced by… someone. It really doesn't matter, though, given what's up on the docket.
There are tons of AL auto-starts this week, although the Rays pitchers might have a tough road against Texas and Toronto inside both of their extreme hitter's parks. Still, Price and Shields are too good to bench in anything deeper than like a six-team mixed league.
As in the NL, the list of guys I'd be completely confident starting is small. These four all possess the combination of solid skills and good match-ups, even if Holland and Sanchez have struggled mightily of late. The Oakland duo might be "considers" if Boston's offense was at full strength, but with David Ortiz, Carl Crawford, and Will Middlebrooks all out, it seems a harmless enough match-up.
Anderson and Holland got a write-up in yesterday's VP. Anderson's teammate Milone has been a pleasant surprise this year. We knew he had stellar command, but this many strikeouts is a bit of a surprise coming from someone that many were content to throw a "soft-thrower" or "sixth starter" label on. What he lacks in velocity, however, he makes for with quality secondary pitches and pitchability. He's a solid play, no question.
Very short list of considers. Diamond is a soft-thrower with control in the mold of Milone, although he's not quite as good either in terms of control or stuff. He does get groundballs, though, which is something Milone doesn't. Facing the AL's third- and fifth-lowest-scoring teams of the second-half—both in favorable parks—make him a fringe "start" and even earn teammate Liam Hendricks a "consider," assuming he sticks around for the second start.
McAllister has been a very nice surprise this year, and I buy into him to a large extent, but his match-ups this week are less than ideal. Oakland might sound harmless, but they've been on fire recently and are, in fact, the fifth-highest-scoring offense in the league in the second-half. They may not be that good, but they do have a lot of quality hitters and can't be considered push-overs anymore. And, of course, Texas is a powerhouse, which means McAllister just misses the "consider" cut.
I could see gambling with Liriano given the right conditions, but you do have to be pretty desperate and be completely okay running the risk of a seven-run outing.
I talked about how much I like Hochevar yesterday, but this isn't the week to try it out unless you're in an AL-only league. Same goes for Iwakuma, who I discussed on Monday.
No one else got much consideration from me, though I do think good things could be in store for J.A. Happ with the right set of opponents.
Before I wrap up, I just wanted to point out that I'll be holding a live chat on Monday for those of you with stretch-run questions, keeper league conundrums, or curiosities about the man behind the curtain.

Always appreciate these articles, have my claims in for Estrada and Anderson. Thanks!

Corbin's not a 2-start pitcher next week. He's pitching tonight, so his next start will be Wednesday at the earliest.
Aug 24, 2012 09:56 AM
Hey Derek, CBS is reporting that Wei-Yin Chen is being pushed back to Monday which lines him up vCHW and @NYY this week. Where would you slot him in the rankings assuming that's accurate?
Aug 24, 2012 10:07 AM
OK, due to the crazy Red Sox/Dodgers trade, I have the ability to take either Carl Crawford or Josh Beckett at $1A contract status for Jerry Sands. Who is the better keeper? A $1A contract means that I can keep a player for $1 for 2013 (B-year) and $1 for 2014 (C-year) and then he goes back into to the auction pool. Before the C-year, I have the option of extending the player for $5 each additional year of extension: aka, if I want Crawford until 2016, I would have to pay $1 in 2013, $11 in 2014, $11 in '15, and $11 in '16. Crawford is out with TJS (little return in 2013) and Beckett moves from the AL East to the NL West/Dodger Stadium. Who's the better pick? Whichever player I don't take will go another team who had Allen Webster for a reserve pick. He will get a $10 salary whenever the new player is activated.
Aug 25, 2012 06:43 AM
And the guy who had Rubby De La Rosa is out of luck, if he's a PTBNL as mentioned in the transaction breakdown piece.
Aug 25, 2012 06:44 AM
Beckett is safer, but Crawford has more upside. Beckett will be 33 next year, so he'll be entering major decline for those extension years. As risky as Crawford may be, I think I'd take him.
Aug 25, 2012 10:28 AM
Yeah, I think I'm going with Crawford.
Aug 25, 2012 14:56 PM
Good luck!
Aug 25, 2012 15:01 PM
Well, since Jerry Sands was a PTBNL, I no longer get Crawford. The owner of Rubby De La Rosa was out of luck too, so the Allen Webster owner gets Crawford and Punto as free keepers, while Loney's owner gets an $11 AGonz and $11 Beckett.
Aug 27, 2012 04:36 AM
Jack Sprat
Speaking of Beckett, he's now a 2 start starter for week 22 (@COL, ARI).
Aug 26, 2012 14:47 PM
G'day Derek. Who do you like ROS in non-keeper points league: Anderson, Harvey, Skaggs or Marcum?

By Amanda Foust
Whether it's reaching out to her peers as student body president or leading the fans at an Indianapolis Indians game, Carmel High School senior Mary Caltrider can do it all.
She has spent her high school years determined to step out of her comfort zone and explore a wide range of activities.
Caltrider is in her third year of working with the Indianapolis Indians. What started out as a summer job led to her becoming an emcee for the team. It's her job to energize the fans through team promotions on the field.
"It was a great first job and was a good glimpse about how to be a leader in the real world," Caltrider said.
Her experience promoting, filming and approaching Indians fans was part of the foundation that motivated Caltrider to run for student body president.
"Before this, I would sit in the corner because it was easier," she said. "Now, I reach out and sometimes get rejected, but I've learned a lot."
Stepping out is exactly what Caltrider did her junior year of high school. CHS hadn't had a female president since 2005.
"It was an obstacle in the sense that I didn't know if the student body would vote for a girl," Caltrider said. "I would go around campaigning to the girls and empowering them to want a female to represent the school."
CHS Principal John Williams said Caltrider has "continued the long tradition of strong and dedicated leaders" as the student body president.
"She is a bright and motivated young lady, who has certainly had an impact on the wonderful success of this year's senior class," Williams said.
The years leading up to Caltrider running for CHS president was spent developing relationships with a variety of high school groups. She has been involved in volleyball, A-Cappella club, Greyhounds Kickoff mentorship, TV, student government, cross country, Ping Pong club, Pinterest club and Accents Show Choir.
"I was dabbling in so many things, and I believe my diverse interest really led me to become student body president, because I could really represent the student body well," she said.
As president, Caltrider mostly works with student government and the CHS Senate. She is considered the principal advisory counselor for CHS. She also worked homecoming, blood drives, school dances and the events Care to Share and March Madness.
But out of all the events she leads, her favorite is the Carmel Dance Marathon, because all proceeds from the fundraising event go directly to Riley Hospital for Children. Caltrider has a heart for helping others and wants to use her leadership to make a positive impact.
"Being on the executive council is an honor to be able to work hand-in-hand with the cabinet members to raise money for Riley," Caltrider said.
Her leadership abilities combined with her love of service have impacted her plans for the future. Caltrider said she hopes to focus on a career in communications and TV while also pursuing a law degree. She has considered political office or becoming a news anchor, but what she is really passionate about is speaking to young girls about body acceptance.
"I feel like media has influenced a perfect body standard," Caltrider said, "I would love to pursue the passion of speaking to young girls about loving and accepting themselves as they are."

A Soldier's Song: Theatre Tours International
"One of the most powerful war plays ever made!
Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War and one of the hits of the 2012 Edinburgh Festival, A Soldier's Song is the real deal. A true story of conflict told by a man who was there, bringing the battlefield to the stage in an extraordinary work of theatre.
This is the theatre of War in all its facets, invoking the horror, terror, shame, black humour, futility and tedium of a soldier's life on the front line and the lingering effects of Post Traumatic Stress.
Deeply disturbing and frightening at times, it utilises a pounding, totally authentic multi-directional soundscape. It is also extremely funny, the dark 'squaddie' humour offsetting the darkness. The brutal demotic language and reality of the battlefield is brought to vividly to life.
There is a post-show question-and-aAnswer session with the author."

WBEZ News
Election Day 2010 is finally here
Election Day 2010 has arrived, and Illinois voters have a rather thick ballot to get through.
Check out our voting guides: judges, recall amendment, down-ballot Illinois races, down-ballot Cook County races, big party alternatives
Think of all that Illinois has gone through since the last general election: Home-state President Barack Obama headed to the White House, and Gov. Rod Blagojevich got arrested, then impeached, then removed from office. Unemployment and foreclosures jumped, and the state budget spiraled into what many experts say is a crisis.
On Tuesday, Illinois voters will elect a governor, and the U.S. Senate seat once held by Blagojevich appointee Roland Burris, will get a new occupant. Illinoisans will actually vote twice on the Senate seat. First, they'll pick a short-term replacement for Burris, to serve until his term ends in January. Second, they'll elect a senator to serve a full six-year term.
Voters will also choose other statewide officials, and weigh in on congressional, legislative, county and judicial elections. In addition, they'll be asked to decide on a proposed constitutional amendment.
Illinois polling places are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Prep golfers to quickly get an understanding of their readiness
The high school boys golf season gets the fall prep sports schedule going, and it gets it going quickly.
Monday is the first tournament of the year for the four Grand Valley high schools with the Tiger Invitational teeing off at Bookcliff Country Club. It's followed by Tuesday's Warrior Invitational at Tiara Rado Golf Course and Wednesday's Montrose Invitational at Bridges Golf Course.
"It's funny with golf more than any other sport you coach," Fruita Monument coach Dave Fox said. "In all the others you spend all this time practicing and you finally have a game, but in golf it comes fast. The kids have to have their games ready because they don't have a lot of time to get it in shape."
Fruita Monument is led by Joey Saad, who regularly shot low scores last season, but was didn't qualify for the state tournament.
"Joey was disappointed in the way his season ended last year at regionals," Fox said. "He wanted to try to do everything he could to get his game so it doesn't happen again."
Along with Saad, Casey Knuepfer, Will Berg, Eric Jacobs and Ryan Blair will contend for varsity playing time for the Wildcats.
"These 11 tournaments we play are just setting you up regionals," Fox said. "It's all about getting ready for regionals, so for every tournament we hope the kids are working a different aspect of their game."
Whereas the girls golf season comes after the winter months, the boys golfers have the advantage of being able to put in a whole summer of golf. The first three tournaments showcase who has put in the work.
"You can tell who played over the summer just by their confidence and demeanor," Grand Junction coach Tom LeFebre said. "It's pretty obvious, especially with their play around the green."
Grand Junction's top player looks to be Alex Wise.
"More than anything, he's improved a lot from last year to this year," LeFebre said. "It's all a result of him being at the golf course."
Grand Junction's varsity will also include Garrett Harrison, Garrett Fante and Keith Rockwood.
Aside from Wise, the other three players are all underclassmen.
Central is in a similar situation with a senior leading the charge.
The Warriors top golfer is Chad Johnson, and Warriors coach Todd Dixon said Johnson is a well-rounded player who is ready to hit the course.
"Chad has that demeanor on the course and we are hoping the other kids pick it up from him," Dixon said. "The goal for this group is to take golf a little more serious and put in the work required to be consistent."
Central also has Taylor Haynie, Blake Johnson, and Nick and Brian Harvey looking to contribute.
Palisade still has a relatively young team, and its top returner is sophomore Kyler Smith.
Junior Tyler Day and senior Kyle Avrett are also varsity returners.

"According to a GOP leadership aide, Barton met with House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) Thursday afternoon, and was told, 'Apologize, immediately. Or you will lose your [subcommittee] position, immediately. Now that he has apologized, we'll see what happens going forward."
Republican Rep. Joe Barton, the Ranking Member of the Energy & Commerce committee, decides to use the out-loud voice and genuflects before BP's Tony Hayward, causing all kinds of messaging trouble for Republicans today. (Then again, if they had a problem with Barton openly professing his fealty to his biggest donor, maybe they shouldn't have put it in today's talking points.) In any case, this one was right over the middle of the plate for the WH today. [Pic via Greg Greene.]

A West Norfolk councillor has become the fourth member of the authority's ruling Tory group to defect in the past year.
Stephanie Smeaton, who represents the Heacham ward, resigned on Friday and will now sit as a member of the Independent Alliance group.
She said she had had concerns about whether she should remain in the Conservative grouping for several weeks.
She added: "I feel the people of this borough deserve better. We have now got to the point where we're only rubber-stamping cabinet decisions."
Council leader Nick Daubney said he was disappointed by Mrs Smeaton's decision, but defended his administration, which he said had made the council one of the most efficient in the country.
He said: "I've been very clear with my group about the direction this council is going in if they elect me as leader."
However, Alliance leader Paul Foster, who was the first to leave the Tory group last year, said: "I'm delighted she has come across."

25. How do i calculate the size before i scan an image?
01. What are the different types of medium i can prepare my images from photoshop?
You can prepare images from photoshop to Offset Lithography, Digital Printing, Gravure and Commercial printing process.
02. How to have a good printing workflow for Commercial printing?
It all depends on the pre-press facility. Its always good to contact your pre-press staff if you are going for a commercial printing press. They might not want you to convert the image to a regular format before you give it to them, because they have some specific settings which they want the image to be.
03. What mode do i need to set before i start the work?
Working in RGB mode is a wise choice and its a default mode in photoshop. Before you get your image out always tag it with RGB working space profile, because that helps your prepress staff or your printer to make an accurate conversion with the help of color management to convert from RGB to CMYK before printing.
04. Can i do the conversion myself before i send it to the printer?
Yes you can. After you finish your work in RGB mode, convert to CMYK (Image > Mode > CMYK Color). You might see some color shift happens on your image because of the mode change, CMYK cannot produce the same color as RGB. If necessary you can do some minor adjustments with the helps of levels, hue and saturation. Once you finalize the image with all the corrections, flatten the image (Layer > Flatten Image) to avoid any future adjustments accidentally and send the CMYK file to the professional printer.
05. Can i print directly from Photoshop?
It is not advisable to print directly from photoshop, if you are looking for a precise alignment of text or the right colors in an image, it is good to send your files/images to page layout programme like Adobe Indesign or Adobe Illustrator, to check everything before you print your document or images. In the professional commercial printing press they won't print directly from photoshop they send the file to a page layout programme and print it from there.
06. Tips for printing your images in Commercial printing press.
- If you have the characteristic of the printing press, you can use that to preserve the details on your image.
- It is good to have a professional color proof of your image before you finalize the print. Printing in your desktop printer won't give you an accurate result you need.
- You can see a preview of the final printed image on your monitor if you have an profile from the commercial printing press, you can use the profile to soft proof using the proof color command inside photoshop (View > Proof Setup > Custom).
07. Is there any guidelines for preparing image from photoshop to commercial printing press?
Photoshop has some set of mark ups and other set of output options in the print option dialog box. These options will give you a proper alignment and other color information details, and these output options should be specified by the people who has knowledge about commercial printing press.
08. How can i see the these options in the print dialog box?
Go to File > Print... (Ctrl P) in photoshop. In the print dialog box to the right top, under the Color Management drop-down menu choose 'Output'.
09. What is Calibration Bar?
Its a 11 steps thin gradient grayscale rectangle which appears on the left side of the image with 10% increment from 0 to 100% density. If you are going for CMYK color separation a gradient bar on the left and a progressive color bar (CMYK with spot or any other individual colors) on the right appears.
10. What are Registration marks, corner crop marks and center crop marks?
A registration marks appear on the four corner of the image along with the star target. These are used for alignments of color separation on post-scrip printers. A corner crop mark and center crop marks appears at the corner and center of the image is an information for trimming paper.
11. What is a Label and Description options and where can i add the description?
A label is the file name of your image which will be printed on top of the image. Description will appear below the image and you can add description in the File info dialog box (File > File Info...) (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + I) under description box. You can add upto 300 characters and its always printed in 9 point helvetica. If you don't have any description to the image, the area will be empty and you won't see any indication on the print dialog box once you check the description option.
12. What is Emulsion Down?
Images printed on paper are Emulsion Up with a readable type and if its printed on film the Emulsion is Down. If you select Emulsion Down in the print dialog box you will see your image flips horizontally.
13. What is Negative?
It prints everything you see on the print preview dialog box in an inverted way. This invert is different from the Edit > Adjustment > Invert; the invert in the adjustment is only for display the image on the monitor and not for printing, the negative option in the print dialog box will print the image in inverted.
This options is good for printing separations directly to film, but its always ask your print shop before you select this option.
14. What is Interpolation and Include Vector data in the Functions sections?
Interpolation is useful if you have a low resolution image, it basically re-sample when you are printing on a post-script printer. But choosing this options is not good if you are looking for clarity, re-sampling is increasing more pixels and reduce the jagged appearance in an image.
Include vector data, if you have a vector elements on your image like shape or text it will include as a separate image for each vector or shape layer, and it will be printed on top of your image and clipped with vector outline. This will be printed at full resolution, even though you have limited resolution for your image.
15. What is Background, Border and Bleed?
If your image is smaller than the printing paper or you have a space above and below of your image, you will see a paper color outside the image after you printed. To fill the paper color with your own color, you can choose custom background color. When you click the Background, photoshop asks you to select a color from the color pop-up box to choose a custom color.
Border, adding a black border around your image from the border option. You can specify three unit values Inches, mm, and points.
Bleed, adding a crop mark inside the image. This option is good for trimming the image with a graphic. You can enter a values in a bleed pop-up box.
16. Why i cannot see some of the markups and other output options in the preview window?
Your image has to be on the center of the page or you should have some gap on all four sides to have the options visible, if you image fit perfectly on a paper then you might not see the markups and options.
17. How to preserve a spot color?
You can save a file in DCS 2.0 to preserve a spot color channel. Applications such as Adobe InDesign and QuakeXPress supports this format.
18. How do i separate my image for commercial printing press?
You can do that in print option dialog box (File > Print... (Ctrl P)). On the right side under Color Handling drop-down menu select 'Separations', make sure you convert your image to CMYK, Multichannel or Duotone before you select Separations or else the option is grayed out. Once you have selected the separations and click 'Print'.
19. How do i prepare an image to Spot channel for printing from another applications?
First convert your Duotone image to multichannel mode, because duotone doesn't give you a different color channel by converting to multichannel, all the colors will appear in the channel box.
Then Save as to DSC 2.0 format and in the DSC 2.0 format dialog box, uncheck 'Include Halftone Screen' and 'Include Transfer Function'. Import or open the image in photoshop and set your screen angle. Indesign and Illustrator takes spot color directly from PSD file.
20. What is a Color Trap?
A trap is a overlap that prevents tiny gap that caused by the misregistration on press. Most probably your print service provider will tell whether you need trapping or not. If there is going to be a trap then he will tell you how much its going to shift based on that he will tell you the value to enter in the trap dialog box.
Trapping is mostly visible on solid colors and not on a continuous tonal image and you might not see the gap on a monitor, but it will be visible on the print. Ink properties and paper texture is very importing too, too much trapping will leave a outline. Mostly the gap is visible when there is a knockout (the top color print and anything below does not print), overprinting color won't be needing a trapping because the color is blended with the bottom color.
21. Is there any particular guidelines to follow?
Photoshop uses standard rules which will help you to solve the issue.
- All colors spread under black
- Lighter colors spread under darker colors.
- Yellow spreads under cyan, magenta, and black.
- Pure cyan and pure magenta spread under each other equally.
22. How to do the Trap in photoshop?
Go to Image > Trap, if you know the right value you can enter in the trap dialog box or else consult your service provider.
To see your image in a output device which you are going to print, go to Edit > Convert to Profile and select a profile from the list.
23. How to determine the scan resolution for printing?
There are various techniques to determine the resolution, but it is always best to scan the photograph with a scanners optical resolution and use photoshop to re-size the image. But if you are scanning and want to print the image and you know the exact size and resolution, you can feed that information on a scanner.
24. How do i calculate the scan resolution?
It is based on the final image dimensions and the resolution of your output device. Once you scanned the file and when it comes to photoshop it will be treated as image resolution and not scan resolution.
Laser printer and Image-setters, multiply the printer's screen frequency by 2. Its best to ask your service provider about the details. Many Dye sublimation printers or if the image print directly onto a photographic paper have resolution of 300 to 400 dpi.
You can determine the ratio of the final image dimensions to the original image dimensions. For example, the ratio of a 6 by 9 inch final image to a 2 by 3 inch original image is 3:1 (Multiply the result of step 1 by the result of step 2).
For example: If the screen frequency is 85 lpi (lines per inch) and the ratio of the final image to the original is 3:1
Multiply – 85 lpi by 2 = 170,
Multiply – 170 by 3 = 510 ppi (pixels per inch)
Scan Resolution – 510 ppi
If you are printing to an inket printer with an optimal resolution of 300 dpi.
Multiply – 300 by 3 = 900 (Scan Resolution)
Different ratio of image resolution to screen frequency differs based on the color separation procedures and it is always good to check with your service provider.
25. How do i calculate the size before i scan an image?
Based on your final output of your scan, create a dummy file from File > New. Fill in all the details like Width, Height and resolution based on your final printed image. The resolution should be 1.5 to 2 times the screen frequency you will use to print, and set the mode. The New dialog box displays the file size.
For example, if the final image is 4 inches wide and 5 inches height. You plan to print it with a 150 line screen using a 2:1 ratio, set the resolution to 300 and the resulting file size will be 5.15 MB. Enter the file size of 5.15 on your scanner setting to scan the image. Once the scan is done you can bring it to photoshop and enter the width and height for the final image.

Magic and Meat
Some people might call it luck that the 9-month-old Chima Brazilian Steakhouse continues to attract customers to a lonely little shopping plaza down on Las Olas Isles. The site has been a restaurant heartbreaker since long before Il Tartufo took a tumble there two years ago.
But the Brazilians would probably call it magia -- "magic" in our much uglier English.
This explanation, so peculiarly Brazilian in its love of the paranormal, probably works as well as any. Chima seems to operate on a mysterious sort of alchemy, mixing patrons who don't seem to want to leave, proprietors who are comfortable with themselves and their customers, and a relaxed staff that acts as though rushing through a meal is like skipping foreplay.
Chima Brazilian Steakhouse
2400 E. Las Olas Blvd., Ste R, Fort Lauderdale
Call 954-712-0580 or visit www.chima.cc
The simile is apt. Chima puts out a hazy sexiness from the moment you exit your car. For some, that feeling may come from the looks of the valets, whose services are complimentary. (And they're essential. Trying to find your own parking place in this area is as futile as trying to find fresh fish at Arthur Treacher's.)
For others, the let's-get-it-on rhythm can be felt at the entrance. After walking through a path flanked by fountains, you arrive in a secret-garden kind of courtyard canopied by two banyan trees. Then you notice that the street sounds are muffled and the pace is slower. In the distance, you can hear the lilt of Brazilian samba music. Around the edges of the courtyard are linen-covered tables, which make it easy to sit down and, for a moment, imagine being lost in an Amazonian rain forest -- with a caipirinha cocktail and credit card, of course.
Once you're inside, the magically luxuriant modus vivendi continues. The hostess ushers you languidly past a sleek Deco-inspired bar and through a couple of rooms on close terms with the idea that comfort doesn't come cheap. The soft, off-table lighting makes you look like you always knew you could. The sleek woodwork and muted browns, chosen by designer Paulo Cesar and Maria Biasi, wife of the owner, Bruno Silva, seem perfect for your living room -- if you had a few hundred thousand in your design budget.
And the staff treats you as though you were worth a few mil. Many of the waiters have been imported from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, where the first Chima opened in the city of Uberlandia. (There are plans to expand to Chicago and Montreal in 2005.) If you don't recognize the staff members' nationalities from their accents, you will from their ability to infuse even an initial tableside greeting with a smile that suggests that the normal cares and woes of life are irrelevant.
These men wear their slightly over-the-top gaucho costumes as naturally as if they were in T-shirt and jeans. The gaucho, that South American cowboy who was as much a part of southern Brazilian culture as that of Argentina, figures prominently in the world of Chima. In addition to the waiters' uniforms, he is also responsible for the name of the restaurant. Chima is short for that gaucho favorite chimarrao, a bitter herbal tea typical of the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil and similar to Argentina's yerba maté. Finally, the gaucho has contributed the main point of the menu.
Chima's management, headed by David Preira, relies heavily on its expertise with the churrasco, the barbecue as originally practiced by gauchos in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil. Following the principles of rotisserie cooking, a fire is set, the coals burn until they are bright red, and then the skewered cuts of pork, lamb, chicken, beef, and sausage are hung on the grill high enough so that the heat slowly infuses the meats and melts the fat away. The flesh is continually basted with a brine of sea salt and garlic to keep everything juicy and tender.
But Preira and Silva also know that traditional Brazilian cuisine, as served in such South Florida restaurants as Panorama in Pompano Beach, is as light and suitable to our heat and humidity as buffalo are to flight. To compensate, they have wisely adapted their menu by adding a buffet to the meat selections. The result is a comparatively health-conscious dining experience that, when enjoyed anytime after 8 p.m., doesn't make you feel like walking on all fours the next morning.
As you might expect from a country that has embraced Nelson Ned and the thong, dinner at Chima comes with more than a dollop of caprice. There is really no formal menu -- only a pricey, sophisticated wine list with an expected emphasis on South American reds such as Brazilian Miolos and Chilean varietals, and a nod to a dessert menu. In between, you will encounter a dining experience singular in its rewards -- and its cunning touches of luxury.
This first touch comes immediately after you sit down at your table with an offer of three kinds of water -- mineral, gas, or tap. Choose mineral and it will be served from a glass cylinder that could have been designed by Philip Johnson. (The water is actually "designed" by Voss, the chic water maker whose beverage supposedly comes from a virgin aquifer in central Norway and costs $27 to $36 per case, or $2 for a small bottle.)
After you are transported by either the water or one of the Brazilian reds, you are then guided to a neighboring dining room off the kitchen, where you find the buffet.
Chima's buffet is a curious kind of multicultural affair, with selections as diverse as an overly interpreted Waldorf salad (missing the tartness of Macintosh apples and the right proportion of mayonnaise) and feijoada (deliciously prepared, but hardly a tempting hot-weather dish). As with any buffet, freshness is key, and Chima's version scores big on this point. The spread includes an array of cold meats and fish; I suggest the thinly sliced, delicately smoked salmon and turkey breast, which would please the most discriminating bar mitzvah palate. There's also a handful of salad choices, including a smartly prepared Brazilian potato salad with tiny fresh peas, caviar that seems separated at birth an hour ago, breads of every grain and shape, a choice of fresh vegetables starring al dente cold asparagus as thick as a drumstick and yet still not stringy. There's even a velvety blue cheese mousse that manages to balance the cream cheese with its spikier relative.
If you aren't careful, you'll return to your table with a full plate. Silly you. Within seconds after you sit down, you will be visited by one of the gaucho-costumed waiters bearing a cut of skewered meat, a knife, and a smile.
"Alcatra," he announces. "Sirloin." He looks at you expectantly, ready to slice off a piece and let you, with your pair of silver tongs, put the piece on your plate.
He smiles a little more. You smile back. There is a pause. He nods toward your place setting. You suddenly notice a small laminated token, orange on one side, black on the other: The orange side says "Yes, please." (Sin, por favor.) The black side says "No, thank you." (Non, obrigado).
Never has the color orange been so full of peril. Why? As long as the waiters see a token orange-side-up, they'll keep coming, and coming, and coming again, each time with a cut or type of meat or poultry, expecting you to want a little more.
And, sad to say, you will. With each trip (and each sip of wine), the meats seem to taste even better, and soon your table is choosing favorites and sampling one another's favorites, the server carving and laughing, the orange tokens stubbornly refusing to flip over, and you eating far more than you ever planned. (And to hide your gluttony, another touch of luxury: constantly replaced, beautifully designed white plates shaped like waves.)
Our personal churrasco champs? The prime rib, wrapped in foil and then cooked for 24 hours; the pink, well-garlicked lamb (cordeiro), sliced with its bone and served with mint sauce and mint jelly; the butt steak (alcatra), a flavorful cross section of three cuts of beef; and the filet mignon, so expertly grilled that we kept our orange sides up for three visits from the waiter. Also high on the list were the pork loin with parmesan crust (lombo) and the bottom round cut (fraldinha). Less popular at our table were the Brazilian pork sausages (lingüiça), dry and relatively tasteless, and the chicken (frango), which, even when wrapped in bacon, seemed flavorless.
If you're not full yet, you might want to look at the limited dessert menu, which is dominated by wines such as ports and companion mousses and creams (and averages $9). Try one of the latter, say, the pecan cream, a flan-like cold pudding covered with fresh whipped cream and so sweet it should be taken in small doses, like a delicious cough syrup. And then finish with some justifiably world-famous Brazilian coffee, perhaps a cappucino.
At this point, the rush from all the sugar and animal protein may make you feel invincible -- that is, until you look at your check, whose base calculation starts with a $39.95 per person prix fixe for the buffet (including meats) and quickly zooms upward. When you add in the wine ($8 per glass) or the Voss water or a dessert, the final bill may cause you a pang of remorse, to the degree that any $200 bill for a party of three (including tip) can cause sorrow. But the feeling won't last. The meal has been too good, the music too inviting, and the magia too strong.

Anyways, I am female, 22 years old, my acne is probably moderate but it's always consistently there. I have been to two different derms since middle school and tried several antibiotics which never seem to work for more than a month. I am pretty healthy so altering my diet was not the source.

I'll Get You, My Pretty and Your Little Dog Too!
Marion County Democrats really are a funny bunch aren't they? Apparently County Chairman Mike "I screwed over Bart Peterson" O'Connor recently sent out a letter to the Ward and Precinct Officials barring them from handing out any literature on election day that promoted any other candidate, other than Andre Carson, for Congress. He also wants Democrats to rat out any people who pass out literature in favor of Carolene Mays, David Orentlicher or Woody Myers. Below is a portion of the letter sent out to the Democrat Ward Chairmen and Precinct Committemen:
I know that all of you will do your utmost to make sure that our slate carries on May 6. The party will be closely monitoring the situation at the polls on Election Day to make sure that our precinct and ward officials are passing the slate. I urge all of you to let us know if you hear of any party or elected officials not distributing the Democratic Party slate or distributing something other than the official slate.
Why? So they can be run out of the party? Excommunicated for thinking for themselves and voting their conscience rather than what the party told them to do? This is why slating is dumb and went the way of the dodo in all but two of Indiana's counties (in case you're wondering, Lake is the other county). Heaven forbid the Marion County Democrats actually promote democracy in an election! O'Connor must be really scared that Carson might actually lose the primary.

Wow I'm not sure if I should more shocked that you posted something calling for an end to slating or the fact it came from Bilerico.
You are absolute right!
O'Connor knows that Andre's chances of winning are going lower everyday. You know that I am a fan of Carolene Mays and would love to see her win.
The Reality seems to be that my second choice is going to win: Dr. Woody Myers. Myers is a good candidate and has the ability to fund his own campaign. It will be interesting to see what happens on Primary election day.
In my defense, I've hat tipped stuff from Blue Indiana too. Actually, I don't know if that's a defense or not. But I've never liked slating. I find it extremely anti-democratic and hurts the process more than helps. But that's just my view (and the view of 90 of Indiana's 92 counties).
You're also right about slating.
Well how about that facts! It looks like I got on your good side for once. 🙂
Unfortunately anyone who calls for an end to slating will be tossed out of the party on their derierre'. If one thing slating does provide a nice fundraising mechanism for the party. 10%+ of the office holder's salary is some nice change.
I don't see anyone out there willing to storm the castle just to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
I guess it's a good thing I don't live in Marion County. 🙂
Josh — I'm getting to the point where I wish I didn't.
at least we don't have peterson anymore…

Robert Mangold (Bob to everyone in the Colorado art scene) is surely the dean of Denvers contemporary sculptors, with a fifty-year career under his belt. His best-known pieces are those colorful and familiar whirligigs called Anemotive Kinetics, a number of which can be seen around town. Still, its been years since hes presented a solo of his own work in Denver his wife, Peggy, cant even remember the last time so the eponymous Robert Mangold at Artyard: Contemporary Sculpture, his combination studio and gallery, is definitely something special. But its made even more special by the fact that it almost didnt happen.

Over the past year, Mangold had a couple of brushes with death, which raised the question of whether hed even be alive to do a show. Fortunately, Im still involved in the series Space, Time and Motion, muses Mangold, referencing both his current sculpture and his health struggles. Last fall and winter, there was some concern about whether my time had ended along with my motion and space.
But Mangold pulled through, and his impressive exhibit opens October 2 with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. both inside and outside Artyard, 1251 South Pearl Street. The show, whihc continues through December, includes some sculptures Mangold was working on when he was stricken, plus a group of just-completed pieces. I am pleased to have finished new works, Mangold says, but Im most pleased to be looking at the grass from the green side. And we should all be pleased to be looking at this exhibit.

Living the Creative Life

in ART DOLLS
People say I live a creative life. I would have to agree since I spend most of every day creating something… painting, making jewellery, sewing doll clothes, writing articles like this one, inventing characters that will become art dolls, creating graphic design for Stacy Studios' self promotion, making display sets for photographing articles to post for sale on the internet, etc. etc. etc…
I am obsessed with making fine art dolls and doll clothes. Dolls are magical! Dolls are filled with fantasy! It"s as if a moment in time is captured, making you wonder if they wake up at night and dance, tell stories, do their chores, dream their dreams and fight their causes!
Imagine the scene as they interact in the silence of the night, when the moon is full and the world is asleep!
My art dolls are completely hand made with every detail painstakingly and lovingly created by me! There are no purchased heads, hands, shoes, clothing or accessories, just the raw materials; silks, beads and polymer clay! I believe one should make their own props, it's all about the authenticity of the art.
