I feel as though I have always been an artist in some way. As a young person I was always working on projects for gifts and for fun. I am also a hairstylist; who is an artist working with clients on their own personal hair design. Going back to school has brought out another part of the artist in me. Having just recently graduated from Sheridan College's Textile Craft and Design program I felt that I needed to take stock of the work I did in these last three years. I wanted to see how I came to design and organize my thought process and what my passions are. Although I feel confident with many of the new techniques I have learned I will be continuing my studies at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto this fall.
Scrumble Pin #1, approximately 15cm x 12cm, crochet and knit stitches. variety of cotton, acrylic and natural wools.
I have always loved to crochet and have found that I am just now realizing the potential that I in this medium. Freestyle crochet and knitting have opened up a whole new realm for me and I find my eye drawn to the textures in pictures, architecture and nature and wondering how I could recreate them with stitch and colour. I have found inspiration in a variety of things; curly hair, snails, eyelashes or how light emanates. I hope to make larger art pieces but recently I have been working on smaller art pieces of freestyle crochet and knit items (also known as scrumbling) that I have made brooches. They are fun, whimsical, colourful and are various sizes depending on where I want to finish. I like to make pieces that are tactile as well as visual so I use a variety of wools and acrylics to make as much texture as I possibly with some beading and embroidery thrown in for good measure
Scrumble Pin #2, approximately 15cm x 12cm, crochet and knit stitches. variety of cotton, acrylic and natural wools.
The second area that I love is embroidery. For our class exhibition this summer I took photos of my classmates, then transferred the images to fabric, painted them, lastly I embroidered the details with black thread for a more dramatic effect. I like this kind of production or commission work because it allows me to personalize a project and to use my imagination in as many ways as I can. This gallery piece allowed me to use many of the new found skills I had from school and apply them to something that I loved to do. Working in a small scale is a great beginning to allow for a variety of ideas to be worked on. My designs can be made larger, or more intricate as my confidence and abilities grow. The design aspect of what I do is so important because many people who buy handmade items now ask questions about our process. It is an asset to be able to talk about the inspiration, explain the process with a sketchbook as well as having a finished item in hand. From this there is an appreciation of how much of ourselves we put into our work, not just time and supplies.
As a textile artist now I am just beginning to appreciate my school and studies and what they will help me to do in the future. The art of manipulation never felt so good.

The word, vardos is commonly associated with the Romanis, or Gypsy of history. My understanding is that the era of the horse-drawn Gypsy wagon was quite short but the image carries on.
Many houses are built with salvaged materials and many houses are meant to blend with the surroundings. Quite often green building practices are paramount in the larger plan. There houses built into rock, on the water, in a cliff, and parked in friend's back yards.
Maybe one day we will have our own small house with a shop on a plot of land for goats.

Bullish Analysts Give General Motors Shares a Boost
Analysts at Credit Suisse (CS), Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Barclays Capital (BCS) all started GM at an overweight rating, the firms' highest, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Citigroup (C) and Bank of America's (BAC) Merrill Lynch unit initiated coverage with buy ratings. Privately held Soleil Securities also started coverage but with a hold rating.
The rush of new analyst coverage comes with the end of the 40-day quiet period barring analysts at banks involved in the automaker's initial public offering last month from commenting on GM. The IPO was the largest in U.S. history, raising more than $20 billion and reducing the federal government's stake in Detroit-based GM to about 33%, down from 61%.
More New Models Are a Ways Off
In conjunction with their new ratings, several analysts also issued bullish price targets on GM shares, ranging from the low $40s to as high as $50, coming from Morgan Stanley. At midday, GM's shares were trading at $35.30 each.
Analysts are upbeat on GM even as the automaker faces a difficult 2011, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal (subscription). Though GM just began production of the long-anticipated Chevrolet Volt gas-electric hybrid hatchback, another round of fresh product releases aren't expected until 2012.
A trio of Citigroup analysts suggested the best time to buy auto stocks is ahead of new-vehicle introductions, criticizing a trend by industry experts "to dismiss an automaker's product cycle potential at the bottom and overestimate its sustainability at the peak."
GM has reported three profitable quarters so far this year and expects to report positive earnings before interest and taxes in the fourth quarter, "albeit at a significantly lower run rate than each of the first three quarters," the company said last month, adding that it also anticipates profitable year-end results in 2010.

"No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left."
Charles Lamb, "New Year's Eve," in The London Magazine, January 1821
Jump head first into the deep end I say: no better reason to decide to take a trip with four days of trekking. Meanwhile, small detail: I don't trek. I don't even hike much despite living on the Appalachian trail and in the Berkshire hills, but I have two legs and I can walk so no big deal.
As always, ahead of myself. Just so we're clear, this isn't the high Annapurna mountains or a trip to Everest Base Camp. Not for me. I am not that crazy. That's for others. This was just a short stroll through the lower hills. Except it's Nepal and the hills were Himalayas and so hills… well, you and I both know that's not exactly correct.
Woke up in Kathmandu and took a short flight to Pokhara to meet up with the bus and trekking guide. The trip to the airport was longer than the flight so if you're ever moving around in that city, keep in mind time and add so much more. The view from the plane was another clear morning of majestic snowy peaks and then down over Lake Fewa to land and then we were off to Lumle and the road into the hills, short carb loading stop for lunch on the way.
And then it was feet on trail.
Watching the snow fall and thinking of sunshine and trade winds. Florida, I am coming for you! Even so, it is a magical fairy forest outside tonight.
Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness. – Mary Oliver

QUEBEC CITY, Que. – Someone in the Kelowna Rockets organization didn't like the job the referees did in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Quebec Remparts at the Memorial Cup at the Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City.
The Canadian Hockey League has fined the Rockets $500 for "negative comments regarding officiating" made to a member of the League's Hockey Operations Department, according to a CHL tweet.
They did not specify which member of the team's brass made the comments.
Kelowna had 44 penalty minutes on 10 infractions. The Remparts were on the power play five times, but didn't score.
It was the referees' decision to hand 10-minute misconducts to star Leon Draisaitl and Quebec centre Marc-Olivier Roy for a scuffle at the end of the second period that seemed to anger the Rockets. It took away Kelowna's top scoring threat for an extended period at a time they were trying to get back a game they trailed 2-1.
Neither coach Dan Lambert nor Draisaitl criticized the referees in post-game media interviews. They spoke of adapting to a different approach to officiating than they are used to in the Western Hockey League and the need to be more disciplined in future games.
"You can't take those penalties and that's on me as well," Draisaitl said. "The refs are a little different here and that's how it is."
"I'm not going to comment on anything else in that, but we have to be more disciplined."
The Rockets play their second game of the four-team tournament Monday against the Rimouski Oceanic.

- Perrin Grapefruit IPA, $1.89/12oz - "Thirst quenching Grapefruit IPA has become Michigan's warm weather requisite for a balanced and refreshing craft beer.

- Perrin Cherry IPA, $1.89/12oz - "Let your taste buds bloom into the season with our Michigan Cherry IPA made with 100% Traverse City cherries and a well-balanced collage of fresh hops. This fruit IPA balances a subtle sweet kiss of tart cherries alongside a deliberate edge of floral bitterness" (source).
- Alaskan Summer, $1.69/12oz - "Alaskan Summer Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate. The straw-gold color and easy drinkability are an enjoyable way to celebrate summer" (source).
- Black Rocks Flying Sailor, $2.09/12oz - "This Red Rye IPA combines Falconer's Flight and Falconer 7C's hops, along with Malt and Rye to form the perfect storm of flavor, aroma and color.

Not only did we brew this beer with more than 10 different hops, we brewed it specifically NOT to last. Acclaimed for its groundbreakingly short shelf life, this intense double IPA brought forth a whole new concept of what constitutes "fresh" — guaranteeing fans the ultimate level of hoppiness. This devastatingly dank stash of our dry-hopped, hop-bursted double IPA won't last long. Get your hands on this dank, golden beauty before everyone else gets wind of it" (source).
- Short's Prolonged Enjoyment, $1.99/12oz - "Prolonged Enjoyment is a Session IPA brewed with Amarillo, Simcoe, and Citra hops.

- Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, $1.99/12oz - "This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It's malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor" (source).

- Epic Son of a Baptist, $2.39/12oz - "Son of a Baptist is an 8% ABV imperial stout. It is not barrel aged like its father, Big Bad Baptist; instead its flavor profile was designed to highlight the complex and often unique flavors of small batch coffees. Instead of sourcing a coffee that would play well in a beer we sought out creative and innovative roasters, then asked them which beans they're passionate about. Each resulting release of Son of a Baptist is widely different depending on the coffee selected. Some are fruity and sweet with notes of jam and chocolate, others are rich and earthy with a big roasted finish. Each limited release will return to the Roaster's home market where the beer and the coffee can be sampled side by side" (source).

Greg Brown: Yellow Dog
A recording of a benefit show from back in 2005 for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's Yellow Dog Watershed.
Greg Brown
Yellow DogSubtitle: Music Notebook Live in the Upper Peninsula
Label: Earthwork Music
US Release Date: 2007-08-07
UK Release Date: 2007-09-24
Greg Brown has always enjoyed a reputation as a charismatic live musician and a sucker for a good cause. This disc packages both of these traits as the recording of a benefit show from back in 2005 for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan's Yellow Dog Watershed in an eco-friendly case made out of recycled materials. It's a typical Brown show. His low, rumbling voice exudes cool as he offers personal, matter-of-fact observations about life. When Brown sings about thunderstorms, as in "Conesville Slough", you understand the natural ones described mirror the ones going on in his heart. Brown makes fun of his lack of subtlety, but the truth is he always means more than what he says whether he's talking about the bullshit of corporate American politics and the war for oil or how life in the past may be better than today. He leads with his heart and lets his head follow. The profits from the sale of the album aid the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve.

'Child of God' Teaser: James Franco Does Cormac McCarthy
Posted on Wednesday, August 28th, 2013 by Angie Han
While Ridley Scott brings Cormac McCarthy's first original screenplay to the big screen, James Franco is tackling another of his stories.
The multi-hyphenate's latest directorial effort is Child of God, based on McCarthy's novel of the same title. Scott Haze leads the cast as Ballard, a violent outsider turned serial killer in '60s Tennessee. The first teaser has hit the web, and you can see it after the jump.
Deadline debuted the new promo.
There isn't a whole lot to this video. It runs just 46 seconds long, and only about half that is actual footage. What we see isn't terribly revealing, either. Haze looks dirty and a little crazy as the camera moves around him. Still, if the idea of Franco tackling McCarthy intrigues you, this trailer will whet your appetite.
Child of God is the latest stop in what's been a very busy year for Franco. He started 2013 with the debut of his directorial effort Interior. Leather Bar. at Sundance, then hit Cannes a few months later with the William Faulkner adaptation As I Lay Dying. All three films have also featured Franco in front of the camera.
Additionally, he's been seen this year in several films by other directors including Sam Raimi's Oz The Great and Powerful, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace, and Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen's This Is the End. Whatever your opinion of him, it can't be denied that he's a damn hard worker.
Child of God will bow in Venice this week before hitting Toronto for a special presentation. Franco and Vince Jolivette wrote the script. Franco and Haze star alongside Jim Parrack and Tim Blake Nelson.
Here's Deadline's summary of the plot:
A dispossessed, violent man who's life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.

Auto insurance is a complex issue. Arizona requires all drivers to insure their cars with at least $15,000 per person for bodily injury liability and $30,000 per accident when more than one person suffers injuries. State legislators are working to raise this minimum insurance requirement. In addition to this minimum insurance requirement, motorists also have the option to purchase uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage.
When You Need to Use It
You may need to use this type of insurance when an uninsured motorist strikes and injures you. Your liability insurance only covers other motorists when you injure them. It doesn't actually cover you. These types of insurance can also help when the driver who caused your accident and injuries does not have sufficient insurance coverage to pay for all of the damages caused.
For example, the driver's insurance may pay for some of your vehicle's repair costs and your medical expenses, but not all of them. Uninsured motorist coverage comes in handy when the at-fault driver has insurance, but the carrier is financially unable to pay the claim. It also helps when you are struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver, someone who doesn't stop and exchange information after a collision.
Common Myths and Misconceptions
So, in fact, uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage actually protect you and your family. But, many Arizonans don't opt for this coverage because of the many misconceptions surrounding them. Let us help clear up some of those myths so you get a better understanding of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and how they can help protect you and your family.
Myth: It'll cost me an arm and a leg to get uninsured motorist and/or underinsured motorist coverage.
Sure, you may save a few dollars by not purchasing these types of insurance. But in the long run, when you or a family member gets injured in a car accident, you may find yourself shelling out money you don't have for car repairs and medical bills. In such a scenario, you lose a lot of money. If it's a major accident, it could even ruin you financially.
Myth: I don't need this coverage because I have a good health insurance plan.
While health insurance helps pay your medical bills, it might not pay for other losses you might incur in such a scenario such as lost wages or long-term care. In fact, your carrier may prohibit your health insurance from being used as primary coverage in the case of an auto accident. What this means is that you might first have to exhaust your auto insurance coverage before you become eligible for your benefits from your health insurance. If you have a high-deductible health insurance plan like many of us have now, that is also something to consider. In such cases, if you have uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage, you could simply pay your auto insurance deductible and use that coverage instead of your health insurance.
Myth: I don't need to buy more insurance than what the state requires.
When you buy the minimum state-required insurance, remember, you are only protecting other motorists in the event of an accident. Your insurance coverage will pay for their medical bills and car repairs, not yours or your family members'. So in such cases, buying just the bare minimum can leave you and your family exposed.
Myth: If the other driver is at fault, his or her insurance will cover my losses.
In an ideal world, this is how it would all play out. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world. Often times, you may only have your own auto insurance to rely on. This is particularly true if you are struck and injured by an uninsured or underinsured motorist, or a hit-and-run driver who has not been identified or apprehended.
Myth: Uninsured motorist insurance protects me only when I'm in my car.
This is not true. If you or a family member are riding in a friend's car and are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, your uninsured motorist or underinsured motorist coverage will still be there for you. If you are injured in a pedestrian or bicycle accident involving an uninsured motorist, this type of coverage will still protect you even if you are not behind a wheel or in a car.
Myth: It won't happen to me.
About 12 percent of Arizona's drivers were uninsured in 2012. That number is likely to have increased over the last few years. So, there is a probability that you could get involved in a crash with an uninsured driver. Even if the other driver does have insurance, he or she might be underinsured and therefore not have sufficient coverage to help pay for all your losses. This is why it's a good idea to get this coverage even if the probability of it happening to you is lower.
If You Have Been Injured
If you or a loved one has been injured in an Arizona car accident, there are a number of steps you can take in order to ensure that your legal rights are protected. First and foremost, report the accident to law enforcement. File a police report and get a copy of that report for your own records. Gather as much evidence as possible from the scene. If you are involved in a hit-and-run crash, try to get eyewitness information, vehicle description or at least a partial license plate number for the hit-and-run vehicle.
Take photographs of the accident scene including any debris that might be left behind by the hit-and-run vehicle. Get prompt medical attention, treatment and care for your injuries. Write down everything you remember about the accident. If other parties remain at the scene, make sure you gather all pertinent information including insurance, driver's license, vehicle license plate and contact information for all parties involved. Save all receipts of expenses related to the crash.
Contact an experienced Arizona auto accident lawyer who will help you seek and obtain maximum compensation for your injuries, damages and losses. You may be able to seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost income, hospitalization, pain and suffering and emotional distress.

In this video, we learn how to remove water spots from chrome. This is one of the hardest surfaces to get water stains off of, but it can be done easily. First, grab an empty spray bottle, vinegar, water, a rag, and a paper towel. Now, mix two parts of vinegar to one part of water and spray it onto the chrome item. Use the rag to wipe off the mixture, then continue to spray on once more. Do this around five times total, then use a paper towel at the end for the finishing look! You can use this on a number of different surfaces, including chrome and glass.

Regular checks around the house both indoors and outdoors will lead to longer preservation of the condition of your home. It is important that you give the same attention and care to the outside of your home as you do to the inside of it. Here are five tips to keep in mind the next time you plan a day of spring-cleaning or home repair.
It is important to check that your gutters remain firmly attached. Fix any loose gutters and check for leakage. A lose gutter will lead to mold and mildew formation resulting in damage to the roof and walls. Gutters need regular cleaning of any leaves or debris that may have collected in them over time, in order to facilitate a clear and free flow of water. Replace or repair any cracked gutters with the help of a technician, as soon as possible to avoid damage to your home.
Doors & Windows
Make sure to check for and fix leaks and drafts found near the corners of doors and windows. Peeling or chipped paint are a good indication of doors and windows that need repair or caulking or weather-stripping replacement. Drafts coming into your home lead to inefficient operation of air conditioning or heating systems. Fix drafts as soon as possible to save energy and promote the efficient running of indoor temperature systems.
Regular pool maintenance in Perth will increase the efficiency of its circulation system and reduce chlorine usage. Regularly use a hand or leaf skimmer net to remove leaves, insects and other debris found on the surface of the water. Vacuuming the surface each week will also help to keep the water clean. Brush the wall and tiles thoroughly by using an appropriate brush or pumice stone and remember to clean out the strainer basket
s regularly as well when cleaning the rest of your pool.
Check your ceiling for wet spots and peeling paint or hire a professional to search for and fix any damages on your roof. Damaged roof shingles need to be either repaired or replaced to avoid leaking or indoor flooding. Do not forget to check for damage caused by termites in the wood sections of the roof and if you find such damage seek the help of a professional to take care of it.
Be open to the fact that you cannot handle all of the work around your house by yourself, especially if serious damage has occurred to parts of your house. Be willing to hire the right professionals for the job, whether it is hiring pest control for a termite infestation on your roof, pool maintenance services for broken pumps and heater servicing, or technicians for fixing or replacing loosened or cracked gutters.
Regularly cleaning, repairing and checking for early signs of damage or corrosion will lessen repair and replacement costs as well as add to the preservation of your home for generations to come.

As Matthew Agcolicol gestures toward an almost-finished mural in Wailuku Town I notice the tattoo on his arm that reads, "We are the small axe." The weather has been on-and-off rainy, and, nearby, three Maui-born-and-raised artists are putting the final strokes on the vibrant wall, which only a week ago was a worn and forgotten dirty-white section of a vacant warehouse. Now, it has new life as a piece of public art.
Even from a block away, the new mural is striking. An 'alala (Hawaiian crow) on the building corner is visible from the top of Main Street as it swoops over verdant mountain peaks into waving strips of kapa cloth. As one moves down the hill, the image flows downstream into scenes of kalo and then silhouetted fish, following the kapa into a hina'i (traditional fish net). Some small fish escape into a darkened reef, inhabited by an enormous he'e (octopus).
"Positive change!" enthuses Matt, the project director of the Wailuku murals effort, which includes 16 murals, 18 artists, nine locations, and a partnership with the international nonprofit organization PangeaSeed Foundation. Walking around the mural, we talk about the $80-million-plus improvements planned for the Maui Redevelopment Area, which encompasses both the sites of new murals and the area of the contentious Wailuku Civic Complex. I'm curious about how the art project fits into the planned changes for this town where Matt and I both grew up.
We aren't the only local kids here.
At the mural, Maui born-and-raised artists Amanda Bowers, Kirk Kurokawa, and Noble Richardson bounce between talking story, taking cover from the rain, and painting. Elmer Bio Jr., the mural's fourth artist is also a Maui native, but is absent today. Elmer's 20-foot-tall he'e on the far side of the mural awaits his return and the other three are reluctant to proceed with a photo shoot because of their missing friend and collaborator. In the end it doesn't matter. The rain that has been pelting the artists throughout their week-long project picks up too strongly for good photos anyway.
The project with PangeaSeed has been a year-and-a-half in the making, Matt tells me. It's the product of a network of volunteer artists, countless meetings with property owners, and support from the County of Maui. Years ago, Matt volunteered as an artist with a PangeaSeed project in San Diego, where he went to art school. Since returning home in 2016, he's made it his mission to facilitate public art on Maui.
"We don't really have a solidified public art program or means to create art in a way where it's accessible to visiting artists," he says. "I think this will be a catalyst."
PangeaSeed, founded on the Big Island by Tre Packard with the core values of sustainability, education, ecology, and design, dedicates itself to addressing tremendous change (ocean acidification, climate change, plastic pollution, and more) through art – especially public art and murals. Likewise, these four Maui-born artists work at the forefront of tremendous change for Wailuku, in the shadow of a future parking structure and an $84.2-million project that could permanently alter the character of their town.
My curiosity becomes a question: What is the role of art in a world that is changing?
"If you are the big, big tree, we are the small axe//Ready to cut you down, to cut you down."
When I think of murals, I instantly connect to Mexican painter Diego Rivera, who used artwork to communicate political messages during a period of change. But Matt sees things a bit differently.
"I think it's an awakening kind of thing," he says when I ask if the artwork carries a political message. To him, values like responsible consumption and concepts like ecological interdependence "can be portrayed in a beautiful way where people are constantly reminded of them."
For the 16-mural project, the theme of "Mauka to Makai" (loosely, "Mountains to Ocean") was selected to guide the artists' designs, Matt explains. People don't think of Wailuku as being a coastal town, but our small island ecosystem means that everything immediately influences each other. That's why recognizing water resources from mauka to makai is so important, he says, and why the team took a field trip of sorts last week.
"Last week Saturday we went from 'Iao Valley all the way down to Ka'ehu Bay and saw what was happening in the context of mauka to makai," says Matt. "So we took a look at the river, then went down, passed by the bridge and saw how the water and everything was going down through this concrete flume and then down into the bay, and seeing the results of how freshwater is affecting a lihikai, or those brackish water systems that should be flourishing the environment or the ecosystem."
"I think that was more of our intention here, to showcase [the ecosystem] and also raise awareness for ocean environmental issues," he says. "Art is a catalyst to interpret or showcase these messages."
PangeaSeed has coined the terms ARTivism and ARTivists for the work it does with artists, stating on its website, "We believe that art, design and new media can transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries inspiring positive global change. PangeaSeed collaborates with today's most influential creative minds to help give the oceans the voice they so desperately need."
I ask PangeaSeed director of operations Akira Biondo, who arrives fresh from showcasing the murals on an art walk with local high school students, about artists in a time of change, especially in ground-zero of an area planned for redevelopment and gentrification.
She admits that she is not extremely familiar with the changes planned for Wailuku, but responds, "art definitely plays a role in creating a sense of community and ownership. That's what we really hope to do, where people really start being proud about where they live, in the place they call home."
Regarding gentrification, Akira says, "I don't think this is going to happen in Wailuku. My feeling is that Wailuku has that small-town vibe, and it seems very attached and connected and proud of that already, so I really hope that all the artworks we've created will just contribute to the value and people's community pride rather than take away from that."
"Taking action and being a part of the community," Matt adds. "I think that's important. That's what changes. You have to be a part of it. You can't just watch it happen."
"Often communities wait for things to happen," says Akira. "It's typically a small group of activists who will push for a bill or a new policy, and I think there's definitely a place for that. But also for getting the masses engaged in a non-confrontational manner. And opening up that space for people who may not identify themselves as activists but still have that sense of care."
"I have the canary-bird-in-the-coal-mine theory of the arts. You know, coal miners used to take birds down into the mines with them to detect gas before men got sick… I continue to think that artists – all artists – should be treasured as alarm systems."
-Kurt Vonnegut
So with Matt and Akira's (and Kurt's) words in my head, I walk around the block, from Uptown Texaco down Main Street and then over to Vineyard Street, to hear more about what the area's working PangeaSeed artists have to say about the question:
What is the role of the artist and art in a world that is changing?
Matt Agcolicol, Project Director: Art is a universal language. That is all arts – performance, music, visual arts. Somebody might have a totally different interpretation of what the work portrays. It's something that's beautiful and also says something that only the viewer can translate themselves.
Noble Richardson, Artist, MAPA Wall: [Art] is good for anywhere. It helps everybody. It helps the kids. We got Punana Leo [Hawaiian-immersion preschool] driving down every day. They get to see something that they're familiar with. Kids that are not familiar with it get to see something to become familiar with. So when somebody like PangeaSeed comes through and offers this gigantic pedestal to be on, take that opportunity to say something worthwhile. Anybody can do one pretty picture, but that's what I like about [PangeaSeed]: They bring on the messages… The greater meaning [in the mural], the 'alala and the hina'i and the he'e is: Travel far and beyond and then come home. Bring that knowledge so we can live better. Capture that knowledge, come back, come home. The 'alala is more like, we've always had that education – some of it conservative at times – but the purpose is: Hey, time to be voiceful. Time to be voiceful. Be loud about it. Don't hold it in anymore. The mana'o (thought) behind the hina'i, the fish trap, is: You attain knowledge but don't hold it in, release some of that. You gotta release some of that. The idea behind the 'alala is: Speak it. Let it echo.
Kirk Kurokawa, Artist, MAPA Wall: All classes of life, from the rich to the poor, can enjoy the artwork. You're not going into a gallery or a museum, which can be kind of intimidating for some people. Public art is important for that role: It's open to everybody and anybody can learn from it. You can take what you got from this piece of art and dialogue about it – it starts something. It keeps a community together that way too… Honestly, at the end of the day I just want people to be happy and feel good about where they're from. Art is important, because you can say stuff you might not be able to say to a politician, or you can you can voice your opinion in a different way. This is just a different voice. And it opens it up the dialogue for everybody. Politics can learn something from that too.
Amanda Bowers, Artist, MAPA Wall: We wanted to paint something that would spark a question. People would drive by, they didn't know what bird that was, didn't know what a hina'i was. The ['alala and the hina'i] are things that were common, and then all of a sudden they're not. In a world where the environment is rapidly changing, we felt like we just had to remind people. [Public art] reaches everybody. It's free. You don't even really have to come up to it to see it. You can just drive by and see. It's like planting a seed in someone's mind, or maybe somebody sees this they don't have any idea what it is, but then later they see something about it and go, "I've seen that before." That's sparking something new. You can take what you want from it. It's really a beautiful thing. It really is like the idea of taking what you need and then releasing some of the fish – now they're not just catching everything. It's the idea of sustainability and being able to share your knowledge and culture with people around you, just soaking in whatever's around.
Kamehanaokala, Artist, North-facing Texaco Car Wash Wall: For me art has always been a vehicle for expression, but more so awareness. This is how we share stories and especially in these times I like to reflect on the concept of the past, and how all those lessons and ideas are really important today. I think [art] is another form of expression. This is my voice, this is my weapon. People will take what they do out of it, but it's supposed to make people think. You don't necessarily have to have an obvious view, but if it did make someone question something or discussion is created: That is successful.
Gregg Kaplan, Artist, Texaco Kitchen Wall: I don't know if I have a role, I just like to make art. I mean, I'm sure that I do have a role but I don't know what it is. I can't comment: That's where the time will tell. I hope people appreciate what I've done, but I just wanted to create something beautiful and something that pushes my own boundaries. I'm always learning… I hope people are inspired to go make cool stuff too.
Dulk, Artist, South-facing Texaco Car Wash Wall: What I like about street art is that it's free art for everyone. I think the gallery is for the people with a more specialized interest. But with street art, it's for all kinds of people walking down the street. That's the most important thing for me: That you can give to everyone.
Kai Kaulukukui, Artist, Maui Land Brokers Wall: I think artists are some of the most important creatives coming up in this changing world because with automation happening so many jobs are going to disappear. It's going to create a vacuum where if we don't embrace the creativity of people then we might just get lost in technology and the change. I was just reading about the [Wailuku Civic Complex] this morning and it seemed like it's good and bad. But it's just a loaded question, I don't know. The point of the mural project is to get messages out there, to expose keiki, the next generation, to these ideas. Like, why exactly this particular fish? Or why does she have a coral hat? Mine will show trash. It'll make them think. We get a platform to just say what we want and if you're not really saying anything, what's the point of saying it, you know? There's something called an art wash that happens in a town where it's broken down, it's cheap, nobody wants to be there, so artists come and then a really good coffee spot opens. And then the next thing you know that neighborhood is alive again; they tear down the old buildings, build new ones, and kick the artists out… and it's all part of growing I guess. But the hope is always to get the message out to kids. My hope is that – my wall particularly – kids will take the message, like "I saw that turtle on the wall. It was choking on plastic" and if they're on the beach and they see plastic maybe they'll just grab it and throw in their backpack – you know just the little things like that.
Lauren Brevner, Artist, Kama'aina Loan Cash for Gold Wall: I think the one thing that art does is it creates culture. That's what I see my job as, as an artist: that culture. But sometimes what ends up happening is, we come in, we do these murals, and it kind of changes the scene because it's so well received. And at this point, I think when I see people walking by, connecting with my art, I'm so happy and that's what I want to do. I wanted to create a piece that connected to children and wasn't super conceptual in any way – that anybody can connect with, look at, and get something from. Artists are always going to be a good thing. What comes after that I can't really comment on.
Alexandra Underwood, Artist, 1975 Vineyard Wall: Our topic is ocean acidification. It's such a heavy, depressing thing. You know, you're doing all this research and you feel helpless, but – doing murals and just talking to people about it – is a positive way to do activism and it gets people excited and draws them in. I haven't read enough about [redevelopment in Wailuku], I just heard it was happening. If we could incorporate art into that and make it more of a cultural center, I think it'll make people feel like they're a part of it.
Joey Rose, Artist, 1975 Vineyard Wall: With this project especially, the biggest role the artist has is as an educator – so, art as a way to educate people about issues or cultural things that need to be brought to light in a positive way. Public art, especially, is a total equalizer. Anyone can come and it doesn't matter.

The XSLT 1.0 specification doesn't say what happens if the format pattern is invalid, for example, if it contains characters that have a defined meaning in JDK 1.2 but not in JDK 1.1. At the moment the output from Saxon depends on which JDK you are using. So it's not only the non-Java implementors who have problems with this one!

In the Home of Croatian Association of Artists, at the 29th Youth Salon in 2008, a Turkish artist Nasan Tur exhibited a neon sign saying: "Time for Revollusion". A statement that calls for change and action has been modified by adding another L and replacing T with an S. This powerful request that reminds us of a clumsy graffiti art suddenly loses its strength and "gains a naive and innocent note"*.
I have recently encountered this neon sign hanging on the wall next to the stairway of the CAA's administrative department. This piece of art, created to dominate above the entrance to galleries in Meštrović Pavilion has now been turned off and silenced, losing its aura in some side hallway. By transmitting this message from one medium to another, rewriting it, retelling it and transferring it, its meaning changes just like in the game "Whisper down the lane" until the original meaning is nothing more than noise.
*From the 29th Youth Salon catalogue – the Salon of Revolution

AnnaSophia Robb
With a maturity and onscreen presence well beyond her age, teen actress AnnaSophia Robb built up an impressive résumé in a very short amount of time. Starring in her first feature film, "Because of Winn-Dixie" (2005), at the age of nine, Robb proved she had a natural onscreen charm. Whether starring in the imaginative family film "Bridge to Terabithia" (2007) or appearing opposite Academy Award-winning actresses Hilary Swank in "The Reaping" (2007) or Charlize Theron in "Sleepwalking" (2008), Robb showed that she could hold her own on the big screen, securing a spot as one of Hollywood's talented young actresses to watch. From there, she showed her adventurous side in "Race to Witch Mountain" (2009) and delivered a strong dramatic performance as a young girl who rebuilds her life after losing an arm to a shark attack in "Soul Surfer" (2011). Meanwhile, she secured the coveted role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in "The Carrie Diaries" (The CW, 2013-14), a prequel to "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004) that cemented Robb as an accomplished young actress with her star undeniably on the rise.

A U.S. military reconnaissance jet crashes outside Seoul, South Korea, injuring three people on the ground. Steve Herman reports the pilot ejected from the aircraft and is being treated in a hospital for injuries.
A U-2 spy plane went down about 50 kilometers south of the capital of Seoul, according to South Korea's Defense Ministry.
Early Korean media reports say three farmers were injured, but the American pilot ejected from the aircraft. The crash occurred in the town of Hwasung where a house and automobile repair shop caught fire after the jet exploded.
U.S. military officials in Asia say they had no immediate information, although Korean domestic media reports say American and South Korean authorities are at the scene of the crash.
The U-2 is believed to have taken off from the U.S. military's Osan Air Base, not far from the crash site.
The high altitude jets are used to conduct surveillance of communist North Korea. The aircraft is considered ideal for intelligence gathering because it can hover above 20,000 meters for several hours at a time.
The crash comes at a time when many South Koreans are demanding a reduction or the removal of American forces from the Korean peninsula. This incident, with resulting civilian injuries and property damage, may further anti-base sentiments. Nearly 40,000 American troops are based in South Korea, which has been divided from the North since the Korean War of the early 1950s.
Tension between the United States and North Korea has escalated to crisis level in recent months after Pyongyang admitted to an illegal nuclear weapons development program.

Yes, Newt Gingrich Is Truly a Dangerous Clown
Newt Gingrich
The government guarantees that all workers with personal accounts will receive at least as much in retirement as they would under the current Social Security system. If someone with a personal account retires with benefits lower than those offered by the current system, the Treasury will send them a check to make up the difference. Thus, there is a legal government obligation that in a worst case scenario a retiree will be able to enjoy benefits at least as good as they would under th e traditional Social Security system.
Pat Garofalo:
Gingrich's Latest Social Security Scheme: Privatize The Program Then Bail Out Bad Investors: "As we pointed out when Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) suggested a similar idea, promising to make investors whole again sets up a huge moral hazard problem. If investors know full well that the government is going to provide them with a minimum benefit, no matter what they do, then the incentive is to make risky investments and hope for a big payoff. After all, why not take the risk if the government has guaranteed that you can't lose money?
Attention: everybody who voted Republican in 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, or 2010: This dangerous clown is your creation. You are responsible for dealing with him.

Recently, I went to the National Theatre to watch Mark Gatiss giving a platform discussion about his life and career. Mark is a renowned writer and actor, and is one of only three people to have both written for and performed in Doctor Who. He was recently on our screens as Mycroft in the BBC's reboot of Sherlock (which he also co-created and wrote) and in 2008 was the narrator for his BBC4 Christmas ghost stories Crooked House. Mark is currently performing as Uncle Bernard in Season's Greetings at the National's Lyttelton, adding to an already lengthy stage CV. However, he is perhaps still most famous for the role that launched him – one of the four League of Gentlemen.
Last week, The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee opened at the Donmar Theatre, starring Steve Pemberton. Steve is well known as a writer and performer in Psychoville, along with Reece Shearsmith, who is coincidentally about to open in Cameron Mackintosh's Betty Blue Eyes at the Novello. They both began their careers in League of Gentlemen. Down the road from the Novello, Ghost Stories just celebrated its first birthday, round about the same time that Twisted Tales closed at the Lyric. Both were written by Jeremy Dyson, who began his career as the fourth member of The League of Gentlemen…
Dyson, Gatiss, Pemberton and Shearsmith are all individual and independent successes within the arts. They first met when they trained at Bretton Hall in the early '90s. The school has since closed and relocated to Leeds University, where I was studying at the time that I discovered Shearsmith and Pemberton's Psychoville, and by association, The League Of Gentlemen.
I rate League of Gentlemen among my favourite TV shows, and continue to be impressed at the influence that the quartet have on today's entertainment industry. Much like Monty Python in the '70s, a single cult show has catapulted individual comedians to fame – and created four varied careers with much greater longevity than the original show itself.
I guess what I found interesting about this phenomenon was the diverse audience attracted to Mark Gatiss' platform. League fans sat next to Aykbourn fans sat next to Conan Doyle fans sat next to Doctor Who fans – all united by this man's career. I can't help but feel that if Mark Gatiss made a documentary about his toenails, he'd still have an avid audience. I was interested that what had started as a cult show could evolve and propel individual careers – in the same way, perhaps, that Nick Hytner's production of The History Boys launched the careers of a swathe of young actors, (James Corden, Dominic Cooper, Russel Tovey, etc) or even in the same way that a band called Take That launched a man named Robbie Williams.
Not all artistic collectives will begin to pursue individual ends – some are destined to stay together (who would Morecombe be without Wise, or John without Edward?). I guess it's important to remember that Gatiss, Pemberton and Shearsmith originally trained to be actors, not the League, and each have a career as an actor to pursue accordingly. Mark Gatiss described his work on Doctor Who as the fulfilment of a childhood ambition, and Jeremy Dyson speaks in similar terms about adapting Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales – I wonder whether they now see League as more of a means to an end – a stepping stone to individual opportunity rather than the formula that they would or should follow for the rest of their professional lives.
Is splitting off from a successful artistic collective a sure-fire way to succeed in the artistic engagement of your choice- even if it is entirely different from the aims of the initial successful artistic collective?
And if so, who wants to start a new comedy troupe with me?
