text: Our client had PVC windows to the front of their house as well as single glazed, draughty entrance and kitchen doors. They wanted an Oak boarded entrance door, painted hardwood window and kitchen door to compliment other windows we had made for them years earlier. The front door is boarded inside and out with insulation in the centre. The back door and windows are made from Utile hardwood with 24mm Low Emissivity Argon gas filled double glazed units. The front of the house has tile hanging to the first floor. Above each bay window the tile hanging had been built out to an eyebrow form. The left hand side had always been smaller and so the client asked us to alter this as part of our work.

City Council: Halt the Vote for an Un-Elected Board for Austin Energy, the City's Largest Asset
Democracy and Public Accountability are Crucial
Media Release -April 9, 2013
For Immediate Release
Contacts: Karen Hadden, 512-797-8481, Tom "Smitty" Smith 512-797-8468
Austin, TX The City Council vote Thursday on an ordinance to let an un-elected board control Austin Energy opens the door to industry insiders and special interests and should be halted says a diverse group concerned citizens, including business leaders and community advocates. Bishop Dr. Sterling Lands serves as the presiding Bishop of the Family Life International Fellowship, Inc., which currently has 300 churches globally and pastor of the Greater Calvary Bible Church.
"We must be able to vote for those who control our utility. We must hold them responsible – and vote them out of office when needed," said Bishop Dr. Sterling Lands. "Direct accountability would be compromised by the board structure proposed in the ordinance to be voted on this Thursday. Low-income utility programs are at risk, along with city funds transferred from the utility that are needed for parks, libraries and public safety."
The ordinance being fast-tracked by Mayor Leffingwell, Sheryl Cole and Bill Spelman will be voted on Thursday, April 11th at City Council, as item #11 on the agenda. It would set up a seven-member board of appointees, with nominees to be chosen by corporate headhunters who may not share Austin's values or commitment to having an outstanding utility with affordable energy and green programs. We, the public, wouldn't get to vote for them.
"This undemocratic move by the mayor and some council members is a theft of our publicly owned utility. We, the people, are the owners of our utility, yet we wouldn't get to vote for people in control of our city's largest asset. Why not? Who will have to bear the burden of rate breaks for the wealthy?" said Karen Hadden, Director of SEED Coalition. "Our green programs and low-income programs are at risk. We don't want to lose the direct oversight we need in order to keep our city's $3.9 billion asset on track, and shouldn't relinquish control of Austin Energy to un-elected industry insiders."
San Antonio's CPS Energy Board is being used as a model for the Austin ordinance. Alice Canestaro Garcia and others with Energia Mia travelled from San Antonio to talk about the struggles that she and others had with the un-elected utility board there.
"Despite strong citizen opposition the CPS Energy Board sunk millions of dollars into a financially disastrous nuclear project, instead of spending money on coal plant pollution controls that had been promised. The City Council couldn't get the information they needed from the utility and skyrocketing costs – over $4.2 billion – were hidden from the public. Austin shouldn't risk the loss of direct accountability for utility control by people who are elected," said Canestaro-Garcia. "The "business professionals" in San Antonio made a huge, expensive mistake in investing in more nuclear reactors, while Austin's City Council saved the city millions of dollars by staying out of the project. Accountability is crucial."
"We need to look out for the economic well-being of local businesses and can't risk negative impacts on the many local solar and energy efficiency businesses that have been growing in Austin," said Carey Ibrahimbegovic, co-owner of Greenbelt Solar. "People should be able to vote for whoever controls our utility, in order to ensure that our nationally recognized green energy programs stay in place."
"This is about who controls our government. It's about keeping the people in power – the 99%, instead of letting the special interests, that represent the 1%, take over our city's largest asset," said Daniel Llanes, chair of the Riverbluff Neighborhood Association and Coordinator of the Govalle -Johnston Terrace Neighborhood contacting team.
"The additional layer of bureaucracy that would be created by an un-elected board would insulate an un-elected board from public scrutiny and City Council would likely end up rubberstamping their recommendations -whether good or bad," said Lanetta Cooper, representing Gray Panthers of Austin.
"Customer Assistance Programs that are essential to helping people keep the lights on during tough financial times and crucial weatherization programs could be put at risk if a separate utility board is created," said Carol Biedrzycki, Executive Director of Texas ROSE – Ratepayer's Organization to Save Energy. "The door was slammed in our face early on when we were told that our ideas were outside the scope of the consultants report that would examine whether Austin should have a separate utility board."
Austin Energy governance could be improved within existing structures. Monthly meetings for energy issues alone would help. City Council could designate an Austin Energy subcommittee if desired and a ratepayer from outside the city limits could included in the subcommittee. Seattle decided to keep Council control of their municipal utility after two years of considering an appointed board.
City Council should not rush such a major decision, one that impacts our health, our economy and quality of life for all of Austin. Citizens should be able to vote on whether they
want such a drastic undemocratic change at all, and should remain able to vote for those who control Austin Energy.
"Austin Energy has been an industry leader on energy efficiency and renewable energy, has won national awards and had great customer satisfaction. Average bills are lower than half of our state. Citizen pressure and demand for accountability are major factors in this success," said Tom "Smitty" Smith. "We must keep Austin Energy accountable by keeping control in the hands of those we elect."
Cyrus Reed, Conservation Director for the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club, relayed the importance of keeping energy efficiency and renewable energy programs strong and keeping utility goals in place.

The first ever CukeUp! Australia is being held in Sydney on November 19 and 20, 2015.
I have been selected to speak and my talk is titled 'Establishing a Self-Sustaining Culture of Quality at Domino's Digital'.
Just 12 months ago Domino's had a dedicated manual testing team who performed testing during a dedicated testing phase at the end of each project. Not only did this substantially slow down projects, releases were big and introduced lots of risk despite having been independently tested. Fast forward to today, Domino's Digital consists of multiple cross-functional teams who are wholly responsible and accountable for quality into and beyond production through regular releases: no testing team, no testing phases, no testing manager. Alister will share the journey of moving to a self-sustaining culture of quality and detail the cosmic benefits the business has received in increasing both quality and velocity across all digital delivery initiatives.
Early-bird tickets are available now. Hoping to see those from down under there.

However, handled poorly, a lawyer blog can be just as much of a liability. Today we're going to help you out with some effective blogging best practices.
1. Gather Information: Make a habit of scanning headlines, both legal and general. There are lots of venues to find news and trending topics:
- Traditional news sites, for an objective description of recent developments
- Editorial sites and salons, for insight into how the media is interpreting recent news
- Social networking sites, to see what issues are trending among potential clients
You might also want to use the services of a virtual assistant to build a store of potential "blog fodder."
Remember that topics that don't seem to have an immediately visible legal component can still be used to start conversations in your blog. Getting to that conversation is part of our second point:
2. Cultivate a unique perspective: Don't be afraid to differentiate yourself from popular opinion on an issue, especially if you can differentiate yourself in a way that emphasizes your expertise or legal style.
Taking a controversial viewpoint on an issue can work to your advantage if you do it in a professional way. If a reader feels they've gotten something unique from your blog, you have a reader who will link back to you besides returning themselves.
3. Make it readable: That means not just choosing an engaging topic and giving it a unique spin, but also:
- Giving the article an attention-grabbing title
- Making sure your copy is free of typos, grammatical errors, and factual inaccuracies
- Keep the writer's eye with short paragraphs, simple sentences, and blog articles that don't run over a page in length
- Avoid "legalese." Word your blog pieces for laypeople, not other lawyers.
4. Keep it fresh! The longer your blog goes without new content, the more of a liability it becomes. Try to post a new blog at least two times a week.
Remember: some topics age faster than others. If a quality prospect lands on your blog looking for a DUI attorney and finds the top article is about Paris Hilton's 2007 jail term, chances are he won't stick around for long.
5. Interact, interact, interact: Always end your blog articles by asking for your reader's insight. Conversations in your article's comment section draw hits and link-backs.

Global Phototherapy Equipment Market is expected to reach a value of USD 788.7 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising prevalence of skin diseases has led to huge growth of phototherapy equipment market. According to health line data, nearly 150,000 new psoriasis cases develop each year among the U.S. population. With such huge population developing psoriasis, there is a growing need for phototherapy devices in the near future. Eczema, one of the severe skin diseases also has contributed towards the growth of the market.
Neonatal jaundice is another disease that require phototherapy treatment. This kind of treatment is very common among new born suffering from jaundice in order to reduce high bilirubin levels. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), around 60% to 80% of healthy new born are likely to develop neonatal jaundice. Hence, demand for phototherapy equipment is expected to rise with growing prevalence of neonatal jaundice.
Furthermore, technological advancements are continuously rising pertaining to this market. LED-based devices are being highly adopted, which has further accelerated the growth of the market. The LED lights are cheaper as compared to conventional phototherapy equipment and has a long-lasting effect. These lights also have been proved to be very effective for treating neonatal jaundice. Hence, improvement in technology has impacted the growth of the market.
Full research report on Global Phototherapy Equipment Market:
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- In 2016, amongst the product segment, conventional phototherapy equipment held the largest market share due to its wide usage for skin disease treatment
- LED equipment are expected to show attractive growth over the forecast period due to its cost-effectiveness and long-lasting effect
- Amongst the application segment, skin disease treatment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 owing to rising prevalence of psoriasis and eczema

Jack is the boy who is obsessed with hunting in Lord of the Flies by William Golding; however, in chapter seven, Ralph goes hunting and actually hits the pig with his spear. It is a dramatic moment for Ralph and, for one of the first times, Ralph and Jack have something in common.
It is true that all Ralph really does is make a surface wound on the boar's snout, but it is enough to send his adrenaline pumping. He wants to tell everyone all about it, and he even repeats himself in his excitement. He feels "the need for witnesses" and asks if the other boys saw what he did. They did.
Ralph talked on, excitedly.
"I hit him all right. The spear stuck in. I wounded him!"
He sunned himself in their new respect and felt that hunting was good after all.
It does not take long for this hunting euphoria to wear off, but for a short time, Ralph understands what it must feel like to hunt and kill and is part of the hunting obsession.

Greg Crewdson Documentary to Premiere at SXSW
This writer is suffering a bit today from having endured three hours in a dentist's chair to get some crowns put in, so instead of a heady and/or lengthy write-up, we instead turn to the magic of video. This trailer in particular has helped us get through the pain and Novocain numbness: Ben Shaprio's documentary about photographer Gregory Crewdson, Brief Encounters. More than a decade in the making, it documents Crewdson's film set-like process of capturing almost-surreal, haunting images of small town America. Knowing that the film will have its premiere in just a few days, launching with four screenings in Austin for SXSW (the first on March 10th at the Alamo Lamar) means that it's that much close to starting a tour, which means it might come to Chicago so we can see it, which was the extra push we needed today to keep our sore head up. Here's the film's site and here's the trailer, which is guaranteed to have you hooked within seconds:

By: Lisa Regula Meyer
In case you, Dear Reader, hadn't noticed, I really enjoy the surrogacy world. I may not have much tolerance for kids- especially when they misbehave- but I enjoy the theory of kids and parenting. Becoming a family; the many different ways people can go about it; the many variations of families; the different ways to get to one common goal- a healthy, well-adjusted next generation- fascinate me. Part of it is the variety, part is the loftiness of shaping the next generation, and part of it is all the amazing biology and odds that come into play. But all of it is truly miraculous. And so it was with great honor and enthusiasm that I get to go to the Men Having Babies seminar in New York City this September, as the traditional surrogate speaker.
I've spoken to groups before, but usually in my academic discipline of herpetology and community ecology, and I've traveled before, even alone, but never to The Big Apple. So there are lots of reasons to be excited about this little adventure of Mama's. I might even get to see some friends while I'm there, and make some new ones! The whole project is actually very interesting- panels open to prospective intended parents and speakers including IVF doctors, lawyers, psychologists, surrogates, and parents via surrogacy, egg donors, and more. Obviously, there will also be plenty of other prospective IPs to talk with and discuss options, and the website for Men Having Babies has recently added assessments and survey information on various professionals in surrogacy to their site.
As much as I may have always been bookish as a kid, I also love a good adventure. Reading may have been my way of exploring and adventuring as a poor kid in a rural home with no cable (no, I'm not that old, Dad just never agreed with paying for TV). Books let me pursue adventures without dealing with the logistics and essentially inaccessible options. Whatever the reasons, and whatever the outlets, I've always been one to explore, take risks, and try new things. Variety is the spice of life, and I like it picante.
Odd as it may seem, my love of trying new things definitely did encourage my desire to pursue surrogacy. That's not to say that every person should have the experience of being or having a surrogate, but for those who are interested and able, it's a great experience to have. I'm not going to lie; it does have its risks, and its downsides, but then again, so does every new experience. How many times have you tried a new recipe, only to realize that you do, in fact, hate cacao nibs with squash? Really, that's one experience you should avoid at all cost.
Most of the time in surrogacy, the benefits far outweigh the negatives, and the serious negatives happen only a very small fraction of the time, and there are benefits that you don't ever imagine when you're just starting out. Biggest benefit is most definitely creating a new family, but there are also the feelings of appreciation, meeting the wonderful non-immediate family of your IPs, seeing new places, hearing new perspectives, and far more. The negatives do happen; I realize that and have seen them happen recently to a very dear friend of mine. Ultimately, it's about weighing the risks and benefits, and making a decision that you're comfortable with, and due to stupidity or something, I'm comfortable with quite a lot of risk. Maybe a bit too much; I have taken more than a couple of volts in my lifetime during home improvement projects.
The thing is- for me- the benefit of having a new experience that I've never had before is a huge benefit. I'll admit that I may have gotten even less risk averse lately, but it's worked out so far. I risk putting myself out here and talking about some deeply personal topics; I took a risk and went to the surro-babe's birthday party; I've applied for (and taken) jobs that were high skill levels that I didn't think myself to be; and I've spoken out vocally with positions that weren't popular. Do I regret any of it? No, because I've been able to rise to the challenges and learn an awful lot. Would I do any of it differently? Possibly, but I can't see cutting back on the risks I've taken, only trying other things that I had the sense (good or otherwise) to pass on at the time.
I love being a part of surrogacy, and I love the people that are also in this world- people who are willing to dare to dream, and take the risks, and put themselves out there. By doing these little things- by being true to ourselves- it shows the world what all is possible, and makes it a little easier for the less-brave souls to follow their dreams as well. If nothing else, I have more fun trying new things than I would by not trying them. So take a chance. Be your truest self. Learn something new. Heck, bet once in a while. Me or the Big Apple- who do you think will come out more intact? September 22nd, when I finally take on New York City, the world finally gets to find that out.
Full disclosure- my husband's money is on New York. He doubts my ability to navigate hoards of people without damaging my sanity.

My sister and I flew into Laguardia late friday night. We hopped into a cab, and this driver really knew his stuff! He tore through the streets and around the obstacles, much more quickly than I've seen done before. I was impressed.
Arriving at the Upper West Side, we retrieved our key from the doorman. ("Actually, he's a security guard," said my aunt. "He won't open the door for you." But I found that he did generally open the door for us -- even if was only by pushing a button at his desk inside.)
It being after midnight, we tip-toed in with the minimum amount of noise that can be made by two girls weilding rolling suitcases and a few additional bags. We quietly rolled into the spare bedroom and unpacked a few night-items.
At this point in the story, I should provide a bit of history. My uncle has been struggling with Parkinson's Disease for several years, trying to find the right balance of medications. Right now he has trouble with dizzy/fainting spells if he lies flat. For this reason, my aunt and uncle have propped front of the spare bed on blocks of some sort, to give it a significant downward slant.
My uncle also has trouble changing positions -- rising from a sitting position, for instance. Strong Parkinson's will actually lock muscles, making standing up very difficult. For this reason, they recently tried fitting the spare bed with satin sheets. They are very slippery, and it is hoped that they will enable him to just slide gracefully out of bed.
Crawling into bed that evening, I assessed the situation. "Who would put slippery sheets on a slanty bed?"
As I tried to settle in, I changed positions several times trying to get comfortable, and felt myself slowly sliding down the bed. I wiggled back up, and I found my head slipping off or down the pillow. The slippery pillow, incidentally, was about the size of Mars. It was so large that it was practically floating above the satin bed.
Fortunately I found a second pillow, more normal-sized, and not slippery. With my head anchored on the cotton pillow, I was able to maintain my position in the bed relatively well.
The covers, on the other hand, had more trouble. The sheet kept sliding down off of us, and the blanket above it tried to escape off the end of the bed whenever we accidentally let go.
Several times through the night, I woke up cold. I would notice that the covers had slunk down to near my hips, so I would grab handfulls of the sheet and the bedspread, pulling them both up over my shoulders.
It wasn't until morning that I noticed I had missed the blanket inbetween, and it had managed to slide between the bedspread and sheet, all the way off the end of the bed!
It was a strange and slippery night. I've never had that much trouble staying in bed before.
The next morning my sister and I made the bed together, which proved to be quiet a challenge all by itself -- when we'd tuck the sheet under the mattress, the whole mattress would slide to one side or another! We joked about it with our uncle, asking him what he thought of the satin sheets.
He shook his head. "You know, I think I've only tried that bed once or twice. Satin is supposed to be fancy, but I just don't find it comfortable."
"Well the darn sheets are so slippery!"
"I know," he said, "and they're hard to hold onto. You can't even put them in the closet. You set one on a shelf, and it just slides right off onto the floor."

Jakarta, 11 December 2018 – Americans are increasingly transitioning away from single-use plastics in favor of sustainable paper food packaging, according to new data released by Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) from the 2018 Paper & Packaging Consumer Trends Report. The report found that nearly two thirds (64 percent) of Americans say they prefer paper food packaging over plastic or Styrofoam. Furthermore, more than half (51 percent) agree that paper food packaging is as high quality as the latter materials.
"Americans' preference for paper continues to grow at a time when improving environmental health is top of mind for consumers," said Ian Lifshitz, vice president of sustainability and stakeholder relations, APP. "Consumers are receptive to brands that are favoring recyclable, compostable or reusable paper materials in place of single-use plastics which can be harmful to natural ecosystems."
Additional findings from the survey include:
- More than half (56 percent) of consumers are concerned about the effect of single-use plastics on the environment
- Nearly half (48percent) say they try to reduce their use of plastic items such as straws, cups and bags
- Consumers are less likely to reuse plastic food packaging containers (47 percent) than cardboard delivery boxes (55 percent) and plastic shopping bags (77 percent)
Survey Methodology
The study was fielded using Engine's twice-weekly Online CARAVAN® Omnibus Survey. Respondents were members of an online panel and had agreed to participate in online surveys and polls. As such, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated. Completed interviews are weighted by five variables – age, sex, geographic region, race and education – using data from the U.S. Census Bureau to help ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population, 18 years of age and older. The online survey was fieldedbetween August 16-19, 2018, polling 1,003 U.S. adults ages 18 and older.

On Wednesday April 25, 2012, Dwell Media celebrated its Light & Energy issue with a spectacular lighting exhibition and party held at Industria Superstudio. Dwell's April issue looks at the latest innovations in energy conservation and lighting technology and singles out those leading the way. The designers featured in the exhibition included: David Weeks, Jason Miller, Bec Brittain, Lindsey Adelman, Rich Brilliant Willing, David Nosanchuk, Dror Benshetrit, Workstead, Chris Hardy for FontanaArte, Vica Design, FLOS, Artemide, Kartell, and Luceplan. The event was sponsored by Pharox, a San Francisco-based company creating cutting-edge LED lighting technology.
The majority of lights were fitted with the Pharox LED light bulb, which filled the room with a beautiful ambient glow reminiscent of incandescent lighting. The Pharox also lasts up to 25 years, fits a standard socket, and uses 75% less energy than standard bulbs. Warner Philips, founder and CEO of Pharox, and serial cleantech entrepreneur shared some of the technological benefits of LEDs. Philips, a great-grandson of Anton Philips, founder of Philips Lighting, added "We are honored and proud to see Pharox featured in so many of these amazing fixtures from leading lighting designers. We promise consumers a bulb in the shape they trust with beautifully efficient light. The Dwell event beautifully illuminates our commitment to great design."
The exhibition space was designed by Tom Borgese and featured bright yellow backdrops to 14 designs. DJ Brendan Fallis spun into the night, while guests enjoyed Voli Lyte Vodka, Sneaky Pete's and Peroni beer, and snacked on gourmet grilled cheese.
Designers in attendance included: David Weeks, Jason Miller, Bec Brittain, Alexander Williams, Theo Richardson and Charles Brill from Rich Brilliant Willing, David Nosanchuk, Robert Andrew Highsmith and Stefanie Brechbuehler of Workstead and Chris Hardy. Brittain presented her new SHY floor lamp and Nosanchuk his new NIR Table lamp and Dror his 3D-printed QuaDror light currently on exhibit at Material ConneXion.

No Movie: A Journey Through the Archives of a Man Named Gronk 2007 DVD
Gronk is the artistic name of Chicano painter, printmaker, and performance artist Glugio Nicondra. Gronk is a name his mother found in an article on a Brazilian tribe in National Geographic while resting shortly before his birth.
Gronk was a founding member of ASCO, a multi-media arts collective in the 1970s. Influenced by European film, existentialism, and literature (i.e., Camus, Beckett) Gronk and his early teenage cohorts made "movies without film", farcical "happenings" on the streets of their native East LA, with Patsi Valdez (magical realist painter of ominous domestic interiors) starring in female roles. Gronk is largely self-educated. Bored with High School and radicalized politically by the anti-Vietnam War and Chicano Walk-Out movements of Los Angeles schools, Gronk and friends barely attended their final years in school, and may not have graduated. He took some classes at Community College. Gronk reports that he was kicked out of famed East LA's Self Help Graphics "by that chain-smoking nun," Karen Boccalero, for not following instructions. He is best known for his murals, including those at Estrada Courts in East Los Angeles. More recently his murals have been intentionally painted as temporary art works (i.e., Fisher Gallery, University of Southern California) to be whitewashed later, Gronk has been involved with theater since his teenage ASCO days, through more elaborate stage design for organizations such as the Los Angeles Opera and Santa Fe Opera. His scenic work has also been featured onstage with Latino Theater Company and East West Players. He has collaborated with composer Joseph Julian Gonzalez on "Tormenta Cantada," a visual/musical piece performed in 1995 with Kronos Quartet at University of California, Los Angeles. In 2003, Gronk was in residency at University of New Mexico as part of the Cultural Practice/Virtual Styles project. He was also given a career retrospective at the same art institution where Asco famously left it's graffiti "tag" years early in protest against )the official Chicano art of "Los Four"---Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He also curated "Altares", a small exhibition at UCLA Hammer Museum. Gronk was in residency at University of New Mexico as part of the Cultural Practice/Virtual Styles project. Gronk's murals, paintings on canvas, and widely-collected screen prints, relate to the direct visual aesthetic contained in works by German Expressionist Max Beckmann and the cartoon-like paintings of American Phillip Guston, along with vernacular arts of early civilizations (i.e., Toltec figurines). His work is original and constantly evolving. Gronk is prolific, filling pages of sketchbooks daily, often while enjoying his favorite cup of coffee on the streets of Los Angeles. He mostly paints at night. Gronk joins many first-class artists collaborating with master printers at Tandem Press. His work is represented by Daniel Saxon of Saxon Gallery, West Hollywood, California. Gronk is accessible to students and others, often seen walking all over his home turf (he does not drive), Downtown Los Angeles. Comfortable with the moniker "Chicano artist", Gronk's intense devotion to craft and multi-disciplinary pursuits are informed by a wide knowledge from a myriad of global and historic sources.

Giclee print, 29¾" x 26½"
Frank Romero
Throughout his 40 year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications and exhibitions. Los Four's historic 1974 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country's first show of Chicano art at a major art institution.
Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout the city, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with "Going to the Olympics," a large scale mural which adorns one of Los Angeles' busiest freeways (Highway 101). He recently restored this mural with a grant by the Amateur Athletic Foundation, as well as working on new murals for SPARC (Ritchie Valens Park in Pacoima) and North East Trees (along the Los Angeles River) and in Silverlake.
Romero has shown extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan. Notable exhibitions include: "Chicanarte" (L.A. Municipal Gallery), "Hispanic Art in the United States" (Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C. and national tour), "Le Demon des Anges" (Nantes, France; Barcelona, Spain; Lund Sweden and Brussels, Belgium), and "American Kaleidoscope" (National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.). His work is featured in many permanent collections, including the National Museum of Art in Washington D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Carnegie Museum in Oxnard, CA.

La Monte Westmoreland
La Monte Westmoreland has been an active presence in the Los Angeles art scene for the past thirty years. Since his inclusion in the 1972 exhibition, A Panorama of Black Artists at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he has been on the scene ever since, not only as an artist, but also as a respected teacher, curator and collector.
Westmoreland earned his MFA at California State University, Los Angeles in 1985 after earning his undergraduate degree at the same institution in 1971. He has taught at a number of Southern California colleges including Los Angeles Community College and California State University, Los Angeles and has been regularly exhibiting since the early 1970s with more than twenty solo exhibitions since 1980.
Westmoreland works primarily in collage and assemblage and has produced several notable series: Watermelon Series, Shadow Series and Target Series. These are not closed chapters for Westmoreland as he continues to create works in each series. In the Watermelon Series, he cleverly incorporates watermelons into the hands of familiar iconic settings. In the Shadow Series, he incorporates images of well known artists such as Jasper Johns, Frank Stella and Robert Rauschenberg with those of lesser known African American artists such as Norman Lewis, Romare Bearden, Charles White, David Hammons and Richard Wyatt.

Advanced JavaScript for Web Developers: onClick and onMouseOver
One of the great things about JavaScript, and why I like it so much, is that it can be quite complicated, such as the hiermenus at the top of this page, or as simple as the many examples in this tutorial. What we're going to go over here are a certain class of JavaScript functions called "Event Handlers." These are commands that work directly with existing HTML commands. They work so closely in fact, they work by being embedded right into the HTML command itself.
They're called Event Handlers because they create events. They do things when your users do things. That's a terrible description, but I'm on a tight schedule here. Read on...
We're going to go over a few different Event Handler JavaScript commands here. I'll list them up front. I want you to keep an eye on the capitalization pattern of each. You must keep that pattern every time you use the command. If you don't, the commands won't work. Here are the commands:
- onMouseOver This creates an event when the mouse is passed over active text or image.
- onMouseOut This creates an event when the mouse is taken off of an active text image.
- onClick This creates an event when active text or images are clicked on.
- alert This pops up a dialogue box that contains text and an OK button.
The onMouseOver Event Handler
I'm going to show you the format for using this command in a hypertext link first, explain what the parts mean, then show you what it does. Here's the code:
|HTML Goodies

Issues with the memory stick... I can't play any games

Issues with the memory stick... I can't play any games
I looked at the FAQs and haven't seen this issue addressed.
I have been trying to play Megaman Maverick Hunter X, it's verified as one of the games that's playable on the emulator.
When I start the game I'm given a message that says "This game contains an autosave feature. Do not remove the memory stick duo or turn off your psp while the memory stick duo access indicator is lit."
Okay, standard stuff, whatever. My only option is to press circle for "back"
After doing so I'm greeted with "No system data found. This game requires at least 256kb of free space to create a system data file. would you like to create one now? (system data is set up to save automatically. The autosave function can be disabled through the OPTIONS menu if desired.)"
Again, pretty normal stuff. Asking for an abysmally low amount of space to create the system data file [256kb is.... not a whole lot]. The options I'm given are "Yes" and "no" while at the bottum is says X is enter and O is back.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here's where the issue is.
Pressing X while either yes or no are selected just brings up the same message about creating a system data file. Pressing O with either selected gives the same result. No other inputs have any results.
So, I stop the emulation and go into PPSSPP and check to see if memory stick is on, and it is.... because everythings on default settings other than the input mapping.
But, whenever I try to play this game it just ends up giving me this message about system data files and no matter what I do it just goes back to this message.
How to I set up the emulator so that it can create this file? Everything else seems to be working just fine. Also, this is v1.4.2 Windows.

RE: Issues with the memory stick... I can't play any games
Some things to try:
1. Update to 1.5.4, or better yet the latest git build which will soon be 1.6.0. It's better, faster, and has less bugs.
2. Check if other games are able to save. Also try copying the ppsspp folder onto your desktop and playing it there.
3. Double check your controller settings. The situation you described can be caused by accidentally mapping the same button to O as to X.
4. If you can, try it on another device (like your phone.) If it works there, at least it gives us an idea what might be wrong.
5. Make sure you have a clean rip of your disc. If you downloaded it somewhere, these versions are sometimes hacked for various reasons - sometimes to take advantage of bugs in older PSP firmware versions to enable piracy. We emulate PSP 6.6.0, so hacks like those often cause problems.

RE: Issues with the memory stick... I can't play any games
this would get fixed if they removed the snapshot save feature instead of breaking naative saves to keep the snapshot save feature on all the versions (never used a snapshot save in all the time i have used the emu since is pointless and all games have a native save feature that allows you to save everytime you want)

Examine a fossiliferous Pliocene-aged site!
Do you know horses evolved in North America? The Hagerman horse, Equus simplicidens, is the first true one toed horse. It's the park's most famous fossil but we have fossil evidence of over two hundred different species. From saber-toothed cat, mastodon, bear, camel, and ground sloth, to smaller animals like rodents and frogs, the scientific study of Pliocene fossils is the key to Hagerman. Read More

From the guide to the Charles A. Lindbergh Spirit of St. Louis Collection, 1927-1969, (Manuscript Division Library of Congress)
Ola Månsson was born in Sweden on May 12, 1808. His first wife was Ingar [or Ingred] Jonsdottir, with whom he had seven children: Jons, Mons, Pehr [Perry], August, Nels, Ingred, and Hannah. Månsson was the farmer-landowner of Gardlosa, a farm outside the parish of Smedstorp, Sweden. Månsson was also a prominent member of the Farmer's Estate of the Swedish Parliament, a loan officer of a regional bank, and secretary (1847-1858) to King Carl XV of Sweden. In 1858 Månsson was tried in the Swedish court on accusations of embezzlement of money from the bank at which he was a loan officer. After the trial, Ola Månsson, Lovisa Galen [transcribed variously as Louisa or Louise and Carlin, Carleen, or Carline], and her infant son, Carl, immigrated to the United States. When they immigrated, Ola Månsson changed his name to August Lindbergh and changed the family surname to Lindbergh as well. The infant's name was changed to Charles August Lindbergh. Two of Månsson's sons by his first marriage, Mons and Pehr, who stayed in Sweden attending the University of Lund, also changed their surname to Lindbergh. About 1862 sons Mons, Pehr, and August immigrated to the United States. Ingar Jonsdottir remained in Smedstorp; she died in 1864. August and Louise came to the Sauk Valley (Stearns County, Minnesota) in 1859, settling in Melrose, and were married in St. Cloud on September 15, 1885. August and Louise had seven children: Charles August,Victor Eugene, Louisa Ellen, Lillian May, Juno [later recorded as June], Pauline, Linda, and Frank Albert; all except Charles were born in Minnesota. August Lindbergh died in Little Falls, Minnesota on October 14, 1893; Louise Lindbergh died on April 22, 1921.
Charles August Lindbergh was born in Stockholm, Sweden on January 20, 1859, the eldest of the seven children of August and Louise Lindbergh. Charles Lindbergh graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1883. Following his graduation he practiced law in Little Falls, Minnesota until 1909 when he was elected to Congress from the sixth congressional district. He held this seat through 1916. Lindbergh was elected on the Republican ticket and soon became one of the leaders of the progressive Republicans in Congress. His activities as a member of this group included the attempt to unseat Joseph Cannon as Speaker of the House; the investigation of the "money trust"; opposition to the reciprocal trade policies of the Taft administration; and opposition to the Wilson administration's attempts to aid the allies during the first years of World War I. Lindbergh's main concern, however, was the monetary policies of both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Lindbergh ran, and was defeated, in several subsequent elections: 1916 (United States Senate), 1918 (governor of Minnesota), 1920 (Congress), 1923 (special United States Senate election), and 1924 (governor of Minnesota) during which campaign he died. In the 1910s and 1920s, Lindbergh began a number of political magazines and newspapers, all of which failed. One paper of note was called the Lindbergh National Farmer . Books and pamphlets written by Lindbergh, which were widely distributed, include Why Is Your Country at War?, The Economic Pinch, and Who and What Caused the Panic? His anti-war writings and speeches during World War I caused him to be branded as a traitor and affected the outcome of the 1918 gubernatorial election. At the time, Lindbergh was prevented from speaking in many parts of the state and was opposed by many powerful public opinion forming agencies in the state.
Following his congressional career, Lindbergh maintained law offices in Little Falls and Minneapolis, Minnesota but much of his time was devoted to politics, to writing, and to real estate ventures in Florida and Minnesota. Lindbergh represented a number of individuals living in the eastern United States who owned real estate in Minnesota. He made real estate investments of his own in Florida.
In 1887 Charles A. Lindbergh married Mary LaFond, daughter of Moses LaFond, a prominent man in Little Falls. Together they had two daughters, Lillian and Eva. Mary LaFond Lindbergh died in 1898. In 1901 Charles married Evangeline Lodge Land, daughter of C.H. Land of Detroit, Michigan. Charles Augustus Lindbergh was their only child. Charles August Lindbergh died in Crookston, Minnesota on May 24, 1924; Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh died in 1954.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1902 to Charles August and Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh. He grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota where he graduated from high school in 1918. Lindbergh attended the University of Wisconsin's school of mechanical engineering (1920-1922) and the Lincoln, Nebraska flying school (1922). He enlisted in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) (1921) and served as a cadet in the United States Army Air Service (1924-1925). During the period preceding his historic 1927 flight across the Atlantic Ocean, he was an airmail pilot flying the route between St. Louis, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois.
On May 20-21, 1927 he made the historic nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris, France. Following that event he was a recipient of many honors from the United States and many foreign governments and was hailed worldwide as a hero. He was made a director of Pan American World Airways and would become a colonel in the Missouri National Guard. During one of his many goodwill tours to popularize air travel he met Anne Spencer Morrow, the daughter of industrialist and United States ambassador to Mexico, Dwight Morrow. Charles and Anne were married in 1929. Together they had six children: Charles Augustus, Jon, Land, Anne, Scott, and Reeve. Their first child, Charles, was kidnapped and murdered in 1932. In 1935 Charles and Anne Lindbergh left the United States; living in England, France, and Switzerland. The family returned in 1939, moving first to Michigan, then New York, and eventually settling in Connecticut.
While living abroad, Lindbergh made trips to Germany to study German rearmament and received honors from the Nazi government. He was also involved with the French scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel, inventor of an artificial heart. Lindbergh returned to America deeply involved in the conflict between isolationist and interventionist forces. Lindbergh became a spokesman for America First, an organization dedicated to keeping America out of World War II. Following America's entry into the conflict, however, he participated in the war effort by helping to develop aircraft engines and flying Pacific Theater combat missions as a civilian consultant.
In the 1960s and 1970s Lindbergh's interests turned to national and global environmental problems, and he traveled extensively in an effort to publicize them. He died of cancer on the island of Maui, Hawaii on August 26, 1974. Anne Morrow Lindbergh published several volumes of memoirs and poems. She died on February 7, 2001 in Vermont.
Eva Lindbergh, daughter of Mary LaFond and Charles August Lindbergh, was born in Little Falls in 1892. She graduated from Carleton College in 1914, after which she taught school in Akeley, Minnesota. From 1914 to 1916 she worked in her father's congressional office. In 1916 she married George West Christie and the couple moved to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota where they edited and published the Red Lake Falls Gazette . Together they had two children: George Christie and Lillian Christie Johnson. George Christie, Sr. died in 1956. After his death and until 1968, Eva continued to publish the paper. On June 6, 1970 she married G. Howard Spaeth, who had been the Minnesota commissioner of taxation. Eva died on January 28, 1985.

One bad habit I see a lot that makes a big difference in the way we singers use our voice, is that often we don't open our mouths enough when taking our in-breaths.
Why is this so important?
Because opening your mouth and taking in air is the very first step in a chain of steps when producing sound. Opening and relaxing the jaw down at this critical point of the singing process helps the larynx open and relax too, therefore the result is a more open and relaxed sound. See how that works? I've created and attached a video to this post to show you an example of what I'm talking about.
One of the best things you can learn as a singing student is how one small change in the way your mind and muscle operates can have knock-on effects to how the body conducts itself, and ultimately the sound you create. Think of every little thing you do in your process – the way you take in air, the way you hold onto it, the tension in your mind and your body – and learn to recognize that if one thing is off it will flow onto other areas of your voice also.
This is why learning to become a better singer really is all about developing better habits. Some of these habits are so tiny it really does help to have a singing teacher there to help you feel, hear and see what might not be working; as well as give you tools to fix whatever might need to be improved.
So I ask anyone reading this to be more aware of how you're taking your in-breath, try my tip for a week. Practice in front of the mirror, and between scales, between phrases in your song – really drop and relax your jaw. Make the breath quiet and deep enough it reaches your diaphragm, and see if you can make this new habit part of your everyday singing practice.
If you are new to singing please don't feel discouraged. There IS a lot to learn and relearn when you're first learning to singing – how to breath, how to stand, even how to THINK – it all relates to a better sound. But I'm here to offer regular online singing lessons for FREE, with little things you can do that can make a big difference. You can follow me via email, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, and keep track of my weekly singing tips and tricks.
