Steamboat skier places second in competition
October 13, 2005
Steamboat Springs — It's been a great summer for Steamboat Springs ski jumper Clint Jones, but when the Continental Cup came to a close Sunday, he admitted to being ready for a break.
"It's will be nice to have a little time off," Jones said.
It will be a well-deserved break for the U.S. Ski Team's top special jumper.
Despite skipping the first three events of this summer's Continental Cup series, which is a step below the World Cup, Jones placed second in the final standings.
The final event of the summer jumping season came to a close in Lake Placid, N.Y., on Sunday, but not before the American team posted some of its best results in recent memory.
"We accomplished most of the program goals we set for the team this year," coach Corby Fisher said. "Now we have some momentum as we head into the winter and toward the Olympics."

As a team, the Americans had three jumpers finish in the top 20 during Saturday's Continental Cup competition.
Jones led the back with a fifth-place finish and was followed by Tommy Schwall of Steamboat in 11th and Jim Denny in 17th.
"This is the first time I've really focused on the Continental Cup," Jones said. "It was a good experience, and hopefully, I can continue to have success on the World Cup, and then we can step it up to the next level."
On Sunday, the American team had five jumpers in the top 20.
Jones led the Americans with a sixth-place finish Sunday, which secured for him a second-place overall finish behind Poland's Marcia Bachleda.
The strong finish also means the American team secured another spot for World Cup competition when the season opens in Kuusamo, Finland, on Nov. 25 and 26.
"Getting another spot was one of our biggest program goals," Fisher said.
Fisher said that when he set the goal, rules stated that a country automatically would earn an additional World Cup spot for one of its athletes if a jumper finished top-five in the overall standings for Continental Cup competition. But in the spring, the International Ski Federation, or FIS, amended the rule so that only a top-two finish would earn an additional World Cup spot for a national team member.
"It made it a hell of a lot harder, but we accomplished it," Fisher said.
Fisher said the number of World Cup spots for American jumpers for the upcoming season still hasn't been determined by the FIS, but if all goes well, Jones could have some company on the elite jumping series.
Alan Alborn, who returned from a knee injury Sunday, could start for the American team when it returns to snow. He could be joined by Schwall, who has had some top showings in recent competitions.
Fisher expects those two skiers to bounce between the World Cup and Continental Cup tours during the first part of the winter season. Several other members of the team also will compete in Continental Cup events this winter, and Fisher hopes those athletes can meet the criteria for the Olympics at that level.
Alborn, who did not jump Saturday, returned Sunday with a 13th-place finish. Fisher was encouraged by Alborn's second-round jump, for which he finished sixth.
Other top finishers in Sunday's round included Schwall, 16th; Brain Welch, 17th; and Anders Johnson, 20th.
Fisher said the team would continue to jump in Park City, Utah, through Thursday and hopes to be on snow by Nov. 10.
"We will keep physically training throughout the jumping break," Fisher said. "We will have some time to recharge a bit before the long winter, but I also want to see our guys maintain the momentum and progress form this summer."

Rear Admiral Peg Klein, who has four ships, dozens of aircraft and thousands of sailors and marines under her command, said US planes are targeting Libyan troops because they continue to attack rebel-held cities and endanger the lives of ordinary Libyans.
"The fact that we are still flying means that he is still advancing," she said.
US forces were carrying out tasks set out under the UN resolution which authorised force against Gaddafi's forces. "We are operating to a very well defined set of mandates. We make sure the targets are well inside that box.
"President Obama was very specific when he spoke about this recently. He talked about the no fly zone and protecting the Libyan people in cities where pro-Gaddafi forces were attacking. Some of those cities still have tanks advancing on them."
Admiral Klein is controlling operations from the USS Kearsarge, from where six US Marine Corps Harriers equipped with tank-busting 500lb bombs will tonight (tues) launch more attacks on Libyan government forces, including armoured vehicles.
She repeated official US denials of British media reports that US servicemen shot and injured up to six Libyan villagers when they rescued a pilot last night who had to eject from his fighter due to a mechanical malfunction, parachuting into a field outside Benghazi.
"I was surprised to hear that and I have no knowledge of that, nothing," she told journalists on board the ship, an amphibious assault vessel which has been at sea since August.

Aural Fixation
Brian Wilson Brian Wilson Presents Smile (Nonesuch)
Why not refer to Brian Wilson's latest CD as simply Smile? Because, essentially, it isn't that record. Smile, as pretty much anyone with even a passing interest in pop music is aware, was shelved by an increasingly mentally ill Brian Wilson in 1967. And, for all intents and purposes, it remains there, forever unfinished. Brian Wilson Presents Smile is a recasting of the original material, finished and finally assembled 37 years later by Wilson, original lyricist Van Dyke Parks and Wondermints' keyboardist Darian Sahanaja. Splitting hairs? Not really. This, the first officially sanctioned compilation of the tracks written for the Beach Boys' follow-up to Pet Sounds, isn't the record the Beach Boys would ultimately have made. Without Carl Wilson, without Bruce Johnston, without Al Jardine, without Mike Love (whether you happen to love him or hate him) and, to a lesser degree, no Dennis Wilson, there's no Beach Boys. And with no Beach Boys, there's no infamous Beach Boys Smile album. All that aside, however, Wilson's presentation of his self-proclaimed "teenage symphony to God" is not without merit by a longshot.
Whether or not the chronology of the album's 17 tracks represented here was what Wilson originally intended shall always remain unclear, as there's little doubt that the man himself has more abstract flashbacks to the '60s as actual memories of them. But rabid fans who for years speculated over what Smile was supposed to sound like as a whole can finally take solace in knowing they've got a blueprint for the album straight out of the head of Brian Wilson, and no longer need feel compelled to assemble their own ad hoc versions from countless bootlegs and officially released tracks scattered about the Good Vibrations box. There are fans who wouldn't have dared to hope for anything more.
Beyond that, there's the "new" record itself. Some nearly unrecognizable changes to the music have been made, and Wilson handles all lead and most of the harmony vocals himself. Where the originally released single versions of "Wonderful" and "Good Vibrations" featured brother Carl on lead vocals, here are versions sung by Brian. Not better or worse necessarily, but plainly different. Among few other minor changes, "Do You Dig Worms" appears as "Roll Plymouth Rock," and the infamous "Fire" instrumental, which Wilson once claimed to be so powerful that it was somehow responsible for a succession of fires in Los Angeles during the original tracking sessions, is listed under its alternate title, "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow."
While Wilson's voice has deteriorated over the years, it's surprisingly agile here, and Brian handles most of the high harmonies with at least some of the aplomb that made songs like "In My Room" and "Surfer Girl" give listeners the shivers. And in the few places he couldn't quite stretch to the upper regions of his former vocal capabilities, his eight-piece band filled in the blanks rather expertly. Likewise, the instrumental performances sting of utter perfection, save for a few instances of synthesized brass.
Ultimately, though, for all its absurd grandeur and carnival-esque insanity, Brian Wilson Presents Smile suffers in a slightly sad way from 37 years of hype, mystery and fan- and press-generated legend it never had a chance of living up to. It's emotional music to be sure, with hints of Wilson's past genius all over it. But it neither surpasses nor equals Wilson's true masterpiece, Pet Sounds, as was hoped and expected in the days before and after the material was abandoned. Even so, hearing these songs together for the first time in a context Brian Wilson himself intended is a pop music miracle. God only knows what we'd be without it.

Rasgulla Recipe:
биномо отзывы
ebay на русском языке официальный сайт
Rasgulla Recipe is a delicious sweet syrupy Indian desserts. Rasgulla Recipe is made out of cheese which is called as paneer in Hindi. It originated from Orissa where it is called as Khira mohana and very famous throughout North India especially in Bengal and famously known as a Bengali sweet. This Rasgulla Recipe dessert is made out of Chhena (Indian cheese cottage) boiled in the syrup of sugar and water. Rasgulla Recipes are usually served chilled and in some place like Bhubaneswar these rasagullas are served hot and garnished with rose water, saffron and pistachios. Here is how you should prepare Rasgulla Recipe.
Preparation of Rasgulla Recipe:
- Boil the milk in medium heat.
- Once you got the full boiled milk remove it from the heat.
- Add Vinegar to make the milk curdle and now you can see the whey(water residue) separates from the paneer.
- Now leave it for about 5 minutes for the paneer (Indian cottage cheese) to settle down.
- Then strain it with cheesecloth or a thin piece of white fabric cloth
- Wash the paneer under cold water for a minute which will remove the vinegar.
- Then tie the cheesecloth and hang it to drain.
- After 2 hours spread the chhena (Indian cottage cheese) on the plate and knead it slowly for 5 min until it becomes very smooth dough.
- Divide the dough into 10 -12 small portions and roll them into small balls and keep it aside.
- Boil the sugar and water in a pressure cooker.
- When the sugar is completely dissolved in the water, gently drop the paneer balls inside and close it with the pressure cooker with the whistle on and try to cook till you get one whistle.
- Let it cool for few minutes. You will find the rasgulla to be spongy and doubled in size.
- Add 1tsp of rose water.
- Refrigerate it, garnish with saffron strands (I used cake sprinkles) and serve rasgulla recipe chilled.

White picket fences and upward mobility–two things synonymous with the American dream–are becoming less and less achievable in today's society, according to a new poll by CNN and Money.com.
While politicians often seem upbeat about the state of the union, Americans throughout the country aren't feeling all warm and fuzzy when it comes to the future and achieving the American dream (a concept the study did not define, allowing responders to apply their own definition to the phrase). The study polled more than 1,000 Americans to paint a bleak picture of how our country's future is perceived.
A whopping 63 percent of adults ages 18-34 believe "the American dream has become impossible for most people to achieve," and that same percentage of people (across all ages and demographics) also believe most children will grow up to be worse off than their parents. What's interesting to note, however, is that 54 percent of those surveyed feel that they are financially better off than their parents. So what gives?
According to Erin Currier, the director of the Economic Mobility Project at Pew Charitable Trusts, Americans "are treading water, but their income is not translating into solid financial security." Currier also notes that higher incomes don't necessarily translate into more wealth due to factors weighing down on people today like student loan debt, high unemployment rates, and how difficult it is to save money in the current economic climate.
The findings from CNN and Money.com's poll differs from our exclusive Mother's Day survey, in which 60 percent of moms said they felt very or somewhat optimistic about their family's personal economy and 65 percent believed they were still somewhat or very likely to achieve the American dream, however only 34 percent felt that they are better off than their parents at the same age.
Do you think the American Dream is out of reach? Take our poll and tell us in the comments!

Indian maestro Sachin Tendulkar hailed his chanceless century on the opening day of the fourth Test against Australia here Thursday as one of the most significant of a stellar career.
Tendulkar was unbeaten at stumps on 124, having faced 172 balls and hit 10 fours and three sixes to emphatically snap his drought at the Adelaide Oval and notch his 39th Test century.
In what is almost certain to be his last Test on Australian soil, the 34-year-old scored his first hundred in four visits to the ground. He had only scored 122 runs at 20.33 in three previous Tests here.
From the moment he strode to the crease, Tendulkar was determined to make the innings count and always looked in command, playing glorious shots both square of the wicket and straight.
He later said several factors motivated him at the crease -- the state of the game, with India wobbling at 156 for four before he took charge, the quality of the opposition and his modest record at the ground.
Tendulkar also revealed he had set himself for a big score at the home ground of his idol, the late Donald Bradman, who was knighted in 1949 for his services to cricket.
"I know that Adelaide hasn't been a great ground for me," he said.
Tendulkar's century inspired by Sir Don
Indian maestro Sachin Tendulkar hailed his chanceless century on the opening day of the fourth Test against Australia here Thursday as one of the most significant of a stellar career.
"I was determined to get a big one here and it also happens to be Sir Don's home ground," he added.
"When I was batting I was not thinking about that, I was just concentrating, but I am very glad to get a hundred here.
"It's challenging to score runs against them (Australia) and satisfying."
Tendulkar said he knew he was in good touch when he struck Australian fast bowler Brett Lee straight down the ground for four early in his innings.
The diminutive right-hander took a heavy toll on recalled spinner Brad Hogg, twice lofting the left-armer for six.
As in the first two Tests, Tendulkar was always on the attack against Hogg, scoring 54 runs from the 53 balls he faced from the spinner.
However, he denied he had targeted Hogg.
"There were patches he bowled well and there were patches when I felt I could put the ball away," he said.
There were no problems in the nervous nineties for Tendulkar, who lofted part-time spinner Michael Clarke straight down the ground for six and then caressed a boundary through the covers from the next ball to reach his hundred.
As has been the case throughout this tour of Australia, the 20,000-strong crowd appreciated Tendulkar's genius, giving him a standing ovation when he came out to bat and again when he reached the milestone.
"It is truly special, very overwhelming," he said.
"The ovations have been truly fantastic and have made my trip very, very special."

Made in Canada, Loved Around the World
I can't even believe that I'm saying this, but 1Password is about to turn 10. Ten years old! These are such exciting days for us, and our birthday present from Apple really couldn't have come at a better time.
This week, Apple launched their Canadian Made, Internationally Loved promotion, during which they are highlighting 10 awesome apps and games in the Canadian App Store. It would be more obvious if you could see me squeeing right now, but I'm sure you've guessed anyway that 1Password is among them!
With over 1.4 million apps in the App Store (as of a year ago, so probably even more now), to be recognized as one of the best the App Store has to offer is a dream come true. Even better, we're in great company; I especially like Lara Croft GO and Transit App.
We're very grateful to Apple for this honour, but we're even more grateful to you. This may be a Canada-specific promotion, but we know that without the love and support of our customers from all over the world, we would not be enjoying this gift. Thanks so much for keeping us going and for always motivating us to do better.
In the days ahead, we look forward to sharing some personal stories with you about our experience of growing AgileBits over the past 10 years. I would love it if you would get the celebration started today by hugging your favourite Canadian. ? ? #PeaceLoveMapleSyrupEh

Preparing laptop for Windows 7 install - video drivers?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but any pointers would be hugely appreciated! I'm running an ACER Aspire 5920G laptop, which comes with Vista 32-bit installed. I'd really like to give the Windows 7 RC candidate a try, but don't want to screw anything up!
I'm going to add a new partition so I can dual-boot the existing OS with the new one, but my major concerns come from ensuring the hardware works acceptably. The graphics chipset in the 5920G is a Radeon 3470 HD Mobility, and I keep it up to date under Vista using the Mobility Modifier software. Will the same modified drivers work fine with Windows 7 RC? (I'm hoping that there might be someone on this board who's been in a similar position).
Also (and this isn't quite on the topic of drivers), the laptop has 4gb of RAM installed - is it worth using a 64-bit version of Windows 7 RC, or does that complicate matters unnecessarily?
Many thanks for any advice you can offer.

hi mate,
i was in the exact same position as you are are lol. I have a vaio though. It has 4 gig ram, the same card as yours. I had windows vista 32 bit too. So i ended up installing windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition and so far no problems!! I also used to use the mobility modder in vista but in windows 7 it hasnt worked for me yet. However in their forums some people report success with those drivers in win7 so i must be doing something wrong. But i dont think there is the need for modifiying the drivers just yet because the ones that install automatically when u install win7 are relitively new as well.
So i would suggest u go for win7 64 bit if u can, but make sure u have the other drivers available for your ACER, like motherboard, audio, etc.. Should be available on their website..
hope this helps

The inclusion of a wide range of important medicines on the reimbursement list and the related drop in their prices has led to the uncontrolled export of medicines outside Poland. Wholesalers tempted by this attractive market situation have been selling these medicines on more lucrative markets, not taking into account the shortage of important medicines in Polish pharmacies which may threaten public health.
The general provision under Polish law requiring marketing authorization holders and pharmaceutical wholesalers to maintain a supply of medicines in quantities corresponding to patients' needs in Poland was ineffective. Therefore, on 21 May 2015, the President of Poland signed an amendment to the Polish Pharmaceutical Law. The new law aims to monitor the distribution of medicines falling within a determined category of availability, foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses, and medical devices subject to refunds (collectively, "Products"). All participants in this distribution chain will be obliged to inform the relevant authority about their stocks on a regular basis. Moreover, the export of Products will be restricted up to a certain threshold to ensure Polish citizens receive guaranteed health safety.
As this amendment may influence trade within the EU, it has to be in conformity with EU law, in particular with Articles 35 and 36 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which establish the free movement of goods within the EU. However, quantitative restrictions may be justified inter alia on grounds of the protection of health and life of humans. Restricting the export of medicines should therefore be regarded as proportionate as it will improve the availability of medicines on the Polish market and the restriction only applies to the Products which are in short supply on the Polish market.
Poland notified this change in law to the European Commission on 26 March 2015 under the number 2015/144/PL. The Commission has not raised any objections. The amendment will come into force within 30 days from its publication, except for the provision providing for a new electronic system of monitoring the distribution of medicines that will be functioning from 1 January 2017.
A list of the Products will be published in a notice by the Ministry of Health at least once every two months.
Obligations of wholesalers
Pharmaceutical wholesalers will be obliged to notify the General Pharmaceutical Inspector ("GIF") of their intention to export or sell Products outside Poland. The notification should include inter alia the quantity of the Product to be exported or sold. The GIF may oppose this in the form of a decision within 30 days from the notification taking into account the threat of a shortage of a particular Product and the importance of the Product for public health in Poland. Such a decision is enforceable immediately. The GIF's opposition will be published in the GIF Bulletin, and information about the opposition will be passed to the relevant customs authorities. The wholesaler concerned may submit a motion for reconsideration to the GIF within seven days from publication. Otherwise, upon the GIF's opposition the wholesaler will be obliged to sell the Products in Poland in the quantity indicated in the original notification. After 30 days from the publication of the opposition, the wholesaler may submit a new notification of its intention to export or sell further of the Products outside Poland.
If the GIF fails to oppose the notification within 30 days then pharmaceutical wholesalers may export or sell the Products outside Poland. However they still have to inform the GIF of this within seven days of export/sale.
If a wholesaler exports or sells Products without notifying the GIF, or despite a GIF opposition, it will be liable to a penalty of up to 5% of its annual net turnover, but not less than double the value of the Products intended for export or sale outside Poland.
Obligations of pharmacies
Pharmacies that cannot fulfil their duty to provide Products to Polish patients are obliged to notify the relevant regional pharmaceutical inspector (WIF) about this issue within 24 hours of becoming aware of it. If 5% of pharmacies in the region, or any hospital pharmacy, cannot ensure access to a particular Product, the WIF informs the GIF. The GIF then determines the Products' availability in the wholesale market in order to consider what action may be necessary.
It seems that the new remedies set forth in this amendment to the Polish Pharmaceutical Law, including new duties of wholesalers and pharmacies, new rights of pharmaceutical inspectors and serious sanctions for disobedience, will serve as an additional tool to guarantee health safety to Polish citizens.

Saira Khan bravely reveals she was sexually abused aged 13
- Bang Showbiz
- 3 November 2016
Saira Khan tearfully revealed on 'Loose Women' that she was the victim of sex abuse at the age of 13 when a male family member molested her in her bed
Saira Khan tearfully revealed that she was sexually abused by a male family member at the age 13 on 'Loose Women' on Thursday (03.11.16).
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' star and her fellow panellists Nadia Sawalha, Linda Robson and Anne Diamond were discussing a rape case in Pakistan when she unexpectedly broke down and revealed she had been the victim of an assault.
Saira - whose parents are from Pakistan - said: "This woman inspired me. I would never have said this before but a male member of my family came into my bedroom when I was 13 and did things to me. You know what she says here she inspired me to speak out.
"Somebody is touching you without your permission, please, it is wrong, go and get some help. It is not culturally acceptable, it is not religiously acceptable. It is wrong. It is wrong. It happens in our homes as well ... Sorry, guys I wasn't expecting to say it and I'm only saying it now as the man is dead. I told my mother and my brothers years later and my mum was amazing. I feel like I've got one over him now. But I feel inspired to not keep it private."
Saira's brave decision to speak out about her ordeal earned her a standing ovation from the studio audience.
The former 'Apprentice' contestant was shaken up to relive the experience and needed to take a break from the live ITV show.
Following a commercial break, Saira returned to the set to assure the audience and the viewers at home that she was OK.
She said: "I'm absolutely fine. I am a strong woman, I can carry on. Thank you to everybody."
Later in the programme, Nadia told Saira that they had been inundated with messages of support from viewers at home, prompting her to say: "I feel fine, I don't want to hijack the show or anything."
Anne then interrupted her to state: "What you said will make a difference to somebody."

Framework for the analysis of executive information systems based on the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use

The acquisition and use of information are key factors in successful executive performance. Although there are various and different media that executives use to obtain information, in the last decade the academic research has emphasised computer-based systems. Inside this group of systems, we can find the Executive Information Systems (EIS), which are tools that can help executives to obtain relevant informationmore efficiently.Recently, EIS have been analyzed through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with significant results. A deeper review of these results, the existing literature, as well as our own experience, suggest there are some factors that affect to the use of EIS indirectly or as moderating variables, instead of directly as recent studies suggest. The objective of our research is to propose a framework based on the TAM, which shows the different types of factors that affect to the Perceived Usefulness (U) and Perceived Ease of Use(EOU) of EIS, as well as how the kind of influence of these factors on U and EOU.

Author has written 7 stories for Chocolat, Misc. Movies, Glee, Smallville, and Bones.
Hey everyone! :) I will read just about anything, but Wuthering Heights is my all-time favourite. Revolutionary Road, Jane Eyre, Howl's Moving Castle, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Never Let Me Go come close.
Not to mention anything involving Harry Potter; it's just so prolific that it doesn't feel right to list it with the books.
I'm a huge sentimentalist and a hopeless romantic who loves ice cream, horses, acoustic guitar, and any kind of footwear that doesn't require socks. I thoroughly enjoy little coffee shops, big cities at night, and fun-sounding words. Despite my chronic addiction to one-shots, making a commitment to a lengthier story is something which I'm constantly convincing myself to do. If you like anything I've written, please do not hesitate to tell me so. I thrive on positive feedback! :)

Celebrated French painter Henri Matisse once said, "A large part of the beauty of a picture arises from the struggle which an artist wages with his limited medium."
Matisse, who once designed an entire church—Chapelle du Rosaire—and everything in it, clearly understood that every medium and each canvas large and small presents its own limits and challenges for the artist. The opportunity of the artistic struggle was one the students of Colette Laliberté's Painting in the Expanded Field class at OCAD University, an art, design and media university, soon came to understand when they selected a medium they had never before used.

We all know the term "return on investment." It tells us whether an investment has been profitable. But what about the promotion of art and culture? Can we measure the "return on installation" in euros and cents – or in a very different kind of currency?

DETROIT — A slender, fashionable, young woman sporting a pixie haircut stands next to five marionettes, cut from tar paper in silhouette style, hanging on a wall at the suburban Detroit offices of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
The woman is artist Ivy Johnson. She's there to discuss her stringed creations with the captive finance company's employees. "Most want to know: What was my inspiration?" Johnson says. (Hint: She calls the grouping Imaginary Friends.)

Emerging Artist explores unexpected contrast between concept and materials
Partnering with local art institutions allows Mercedes-Benz Financial Services in the U.S. and Canada to create partnerships that inspire diversity of thought and new ways of thinking. In addition to the exhibitions that display the artists' work, each year one student from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is awarded the opportunity to work in Berlin, Germany for two months.
The goal is to support emerging artists through more than just financial donations. By providing artists with an entire experience, the company promotes diversity and a global perspective on artwork.
This is the tenth year Mercedes-Benz Financial Services has given the Emerging Artist Award to a Cranbrook Academy of Art graduate— In 2015, it was presented to Aaron Patrick Decker. Decker, the 2015 metalsmithing graduate, recently returned from his two-month stay at the Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien with new artwork creations, many interesting stories and memories that will last a lifetime. Along with his residency, Decker received a $5,000 expense stipend, a vehicle to use during his stay and an art pass that grants free access to museums in Berlin.
"I went with an idea, but that quickly flipped," Decker said. "I changed my entire vision and idea after my arrival in Berlin."
Decker specializes in jewelry-making with a twist of military inspiration. During his residency, he explored a new medium that involved knitting strands of tiny beads to form shapes and garments. He contributes the idea behind his designs to the post-9/11 world and the generation of kids who were born after.
"The inspiration for my work also relates back to the Berlin Wall," said Decker. "There's this underlying prejudice between East and West Berlin still alive today. People are pushing against these stereotypes, but also owning and embodying them."
The opportunity to work in Berlin allowed Decker to take time for himself by exploring Berlin and meeting and collaborating with German artists in the area. Decker hails from the east coast of the U.S., but has decided to remain in Detroit to establish his artistic practice.
The artwork created during Decker's summer residency in Berlin will be unveiled at the company's 2015 Experiencing Perspectives art reception in Farmington Hills on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 5 to 7 p.m. To RSVP for the event, visit www.mbfs-art.com/events.

Thursday night, I went to a fundraiser, called #onthefridge, for Art Road. This group arranges supplies and teachers for art classes and programs for schoolchildren in Detroit and southeast Michigan.
It does more than that, but that's the core mission: Let kids have an art class. Too many schools across the U.S. have had to cut those classes.

Mercedes-Benz Financial Services' Experiencing Perspectives art program creates an environment for employees in which contemporary art plays a large role. The idea behind the program is to invigorate creative and inspirational work. The program offers annual art exhibitions, art tours, community conversations and other events.

On last month's blog, from my post-surgical hospital bed, I wrote that there were many fine Detroit literary events that I would regretfully miss in September due to my fractured ankle. I'm home now, a 4-lb cast to the good, not getting out much, but I was thrilled to attend the 2014 Knight Art Detroit Challenge Grant Awards October 6 at Detroit's Fillmore Theatre. It makes me proud to be part of the Detroit artistic community, with amazing ideas percolating up from everywhere – new and veteran groups, individual artists, literary, dance, drumming, neighborhood art projects – all being awarded for their creativity by the Knight Foundation's vision and generosity.
Monday, August 25th, 2014
On the eve of its 2014 commencement ceremonies, Cranbrook Academy of Art celebrated another year of outstanding work by its faculty and graduate students at its annual Academy Awards Night on May 8.
Before a gathering of more than 200 students, families, friends and donors in deSalle auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum, the Academy conferred more than $100,000 in fellowships, grants, awards and scholarships, including nine distinguished awards for artistic excellence. The awards are designed to support study at the Academy and to aid 2014 graduates in the transition from student to practicing artist.

Having Fun...
Jeffrey G. Stevenson | F.W.B.,FL | 04/11/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The band is obviously having a good time and I am having a great time discovering the music of Saga! In fact, I haven't enjoyed exploring older "essential" stuff since I got hooked on old Genesis and Mahavishnu Orchestra 15+ years ago. Now am I comparing above said bands...no, that may get me in deep water with other reviewers here, but Saga is a very interesting and musical group that is worthy to be remembered as a band that added their unique sound to an already rich musical genre we call progressive. Anyway, this live album really "kicks" and has a fairly comprehensive set list of their earliest material (first 4 albums) that is a great place for newcomers to the band to get a taste. Oh, and don't let the running time of this disc stop you from getting it...it's well worth the $10 or $11 that Amazon is asking! ENJOY! Jeff"
Great live recording!
S. Pursley | Montgomery, AL USA | 06/17/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I have been an avid Saga fan since 1982. The first time I heard them it was obvious to me that they were excellent musicians as well as writers of very interesting and exciting music. A band with these qualities is always best when heard live because their professional edge and excitement is frequently lost in the studio recordings. That's what "In Transit" gives us, that intangible excitement that only superb live music has. One of my most frequently played CD's!"

Vijay Singh's former trainer said that Singh shouldn't be tainted by his admitted use of a deer antler spray that contains a substance banned by the PGA Tour.
"I'm not going to just sit back and watch Vijay's career
get tarnished," said Joey Diovisalvi, who worked with Singh for seven years and
is now working with, among others, Keegan Bradley. "It's
completely approved over-the-counter; you and I can go buy it. But here's where
it gets tricky: Just because we can go buy it doesn't mean it's approved for
golf. Vijay Singh is the real deal; I would think that he trusted somebody when
he shouldn't have." According to Sports Illustrated, Singh has been using a banned deer antler spray that contains IGF-1, a "natural, anabolic hormone that stimulates muscle growth." In a written statement released Wednesday, Singh admitted using the spray, but said "at no time was I aware that it may contain a substance that is banned under the PGA Tour anti-doping policy."
49, has battled a bad back and other injuries in recent years, and hasn't hid
from his use of the deer antler spray, which he bought from a two-man company
called Sports With Alternatives to Steroids (S.W.A.T.) He was quoted in the SI
story as saying he uses it "every couple of hours."
to the SI story, the Tour told Champions tour pro Mark Calcavecchia to stop
using deer antler spray in 2011. Trainer
Diovisalvi says three-time major winner Singh's candor about using the banned
substance proves he didn't know he was doing anything wrong.
you and I robbed a bank," Diovisalvi said, "would we tell everybody we did it?
I hope that Vijay gets in front of the media and says, 'Yeah, I'm working with
this stuff and I hope it helps me, and I didn't know it was on the banned list.'
Ignorance is innocence. Are we going to go back and question Vijay's entire
career? Are we going to start questioning Tiger again? With the whole Lance
Armstrong thing going on, this is the absolute last thing we need in golf."
is scheduled to play in this week's Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Among other ramifications, Singh's admitted use of a banned substance shines a light on the Tour's drug-testing program, which tests urine but not blood. Human growth hormone cannot be detected without a blood test. Golf is set to make its return as an Olympic sport in 2016. (Photo: Kohjiro Kinno/SI)

"Homeland" ended its third season with a bang, not just in regards to a death of one of its major characters but also in the ratings.
Showtime says the Season 3 finale, "The Star," was the series' most-watched episode, as well as being the first of the network's shows to average 7 million weekly viewers. All told, "The Star" brought in 2.4 million viewers at 9 p.m. and 2.9 million viewers for the night.
This meant that "Homeland's" viewership was up considerably from its Season 3 premiere, which brought in 1.88 million viewers. The previous series-high for the show was Season 3 episode 6, "Still Positive," which drew 2.75 million viewers the night that it aired.
Also closing out the season with a great night was critical darling "Masters of Sex." Hot off its Writers Guild Awards and Golden Globes nominations and AFI Top 10 TV place of honor, the freshman drama had its season-best night. Showtime says the series finished Season 1 up 21 percent versus its premiere with 1.2 million viewers during its 10 p.m showing and a total of 1.5 million viewers for the night.

About me
Living Life can be difficult and painful at times and choosing a counsellor can be a daunting process, so now you are here who do you choose?

Seven Great New Features of Mango for Windows Phone 7
Did you think Mango, the update due out later this year for Windows Phone 7, would just be able fast app switching and a new version of the browser? Think again. Microsoft spent a long session at MIX '11 covering all of the new functionality that Mango will bring, and we came away impressed. We previously gave you a preview of some of these changes, but now with the video available, we can cover all of what's new. So that you don't have to watch all twenty minutes of it, we've made a comprehensive list of all of the changes coming in Mango. Should you want to see any of the features in action, we've added a time stamp to each new feature
1. Faster app management (0:30): Right now Windows Phone 7's app screen is a endlessly long list. In Mango, you'll have two options to quickly get to an app of choice: like in the Zune HD, you can tap a letter of the alphabet and be instantly taken to the apps starting with that letter, or you can press the magnifying glass and perform a quick search. The search also acts as a gateway for the Marketplace, so that if you don't find the app you want in your app list, you can download it.
2. New Marketplace search results (1:31): The Marketplace search in Windows Phone 7 is a bit annoying because it jumbles together apps, music, podcasts, and more. In Mango, these results are separated. What's more, search results now contain more meta information.
3. Updated app screen in Marketplace (2:20): In Mango, you'll now find a Related screen in each app section to allow you to find similar apps. Also, Microsoft has reduced the number of clicks required to install a free app (currently, you have to hit "Purchase" even if it's a free app). Once you hit "Install," you are taken to your main app list where you can watch the app download with a progress bar. Previously, you would have to go back to the Start screen, the dial into the app list and find the app you just downloaded.
4. Improved Bing search results (4:52): Microsoft added the concept of "Extras" to search results in Mango so that if you search for a movie, for example, you'll be able to quickly jump into the IMDB application if you have that installed on your device.
5. Improvements in the browser (7:35): We know that Mango will bring IE9 to Windows Phone 7. Also new is that landscape view will have the browser bar (currently, you must flip into portrait to see the address bar). Also, IE9 will support HTML5 audio streaming in the background, so that you can stream music from the browser while checking your email, etc. IE9 will also use hardware acelleration for HTML5 elements which should provide fantastic performance.
6. Live tile improvements (15:00): Developers can now animate their Live Tiles in Mango. They can also add information from within their apps as Live Tiles. For example, if you're browsing an airlines app, you can tap and hold on a flight from within the app, and add it to your Start screen to track its status.
7. System-wide performance enhancements (18:00): Mango uses 30% less RAM per app, offers faster app launch times, has better physics for scrolling, and more.
8. Custom ringtones (11:46): Ok, so maybe there were eight new features of Mango! Finally, users can select custom ringtones. Not much else to say about that.

Observers: George Willis, Mike Kendall
Location: Little Tujunga Canyon, Angeles National Forest, California
Date: March 10, 1997 12:00 UT
Observers: George Willis, Mike Kendall, and several lions, bears, chimps, llamas, and other assorted animals. The photo was taken on the morning of March 10th, at 04:00, PST, from a hilltop above the Wildlife Waystation, in Little Tujunga Canyon, in the Angeles National Forest. The animals were just below us, and could either hear us, or smell us, because the lions were roaring, the chimps were screaming, and the bears were bellowing. If they looked in our general direction, the animals would see Hale-Bopp, hanging prominently in the sky. Hmmmm... maybe that is what they were screaming and roaring about....

The Virginia Constitution states that "it shall be the Commonwealth's policy to protect its atmosphere, lands and waters from pollution, impairment, or destruction…" and I believe it is important to live up to this promise. I am happy to have been named a "Legislative Hero" by the Virginia League of Conservation Voters (VALCV) for four consecutive years beginning in 2008.
The Commonwealth has much to do to improve our water and air. Virginia ranks at the bottom among the states in spending on conservation and environmental protection. Virginia is the second largest importer of solid waste in the country. Shenandoah National Park has been ranked as the third most air-polluted park in the nation. As of 2010, 23% percent of Virginia rivers are impaired or threatened, as well as over 83 percent of Virginia lakes and nearly 94 percent of Virginia estuaries. Impaired river miles have increased from 2,611 in 1998 to 12,100 miles in 2010.
Our natural resources not only enhance our quality of life but are essential to certain industries such as agriculture, forestry, sea food, and tourism. I support the following initiatives to improve our water and air quality and to preserve the natural resources and assets that are so important to our quality of life in this region:
- Increase funding for open space and preservation programs like Albemarle County's Conservation Easements program (ACE) and land conservation;
- Strengthening water pollution laws and their enforcement;
- Purchase of hybrid vehicles as part of the Commonwealth's fleet of automobiles for government transportation;
- Develop ways to ensure public buildings meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Standards; and
- Increase support for energy conservation and use of renewable energy sources.
Expanding Renewable Energy
With the threat of climate change, rising fuel costs, and all the other social and economic hazards of conventional fuel sources, building a renewable energy system in Virginia is becoming more and more important. Investing in infrastructure and renewable energy generation can help spur economic growth while addressing our long-term energy and environmental needs. I have taken the lead in the House of Delegates to promote small-scale renewable energy growth through "net metering" and "distributed generation" incentives. Net metering and distributed generation gives individuals the power to self-generate to meet their energy needs while allowing them to sell excess energy back to the grid.

We're big fans of the Suzuki Gemma and its futuristic cruiser style. Based on the Burgman 250, it's a little smaller, a little lighter and a lot better looking. The company defines the scoot as, "a fresh new vehicle for adult couples actively breezing their way in the city." While most vehicles targeted at people like us are repulsive in their condescension, the Gemma is the right color, the right size and looks totally unique. Suzuki currently has no plans to sell the Gemma outside of Japan, but maybe if we ask nicely enough, they'll change their minds. Please? More pictures follow the jump.

You can't deny the power of Facebook. That's where your audience is, that's where your fans are, so shouldn't you be serving video there, too?
To help people and organizations create their own video channels on Facebook, Dyyno today launched an integrated video platform that makes live and on-demand streaming simple. Dyyno customers can install the Dyyno Live Video Streaming app into their Facebook account, then share their videos with followers.
Because Facebook is a social site, Dyyno's solution is full of sharing options. Videos offer Facebook's Like and Share buttons, and can be shared by default, although clients can also password-protect them and opt to limit sharing.
Facebook video should appeal to a variety of customers, says Vamshi Sriperumbudur, Dyyno's head of marketing. He says TV stations, faith-based organizations, and comedians have all shown interest in supplying videos to their followers.
Dyyno is offering ad-supported and subscription levels of service. The free model lets you store 1GB of video, about four hours' worth, and Dyyno will serve ads to your viewers using the Adap.TV advertising network. Customers can also choose to offer their videos by subscription, using a PayPal front end.
"Businesses can not only increase viewership and monetize video content through the Dyyno Facebook app, but also improve engagement among fans and viewers by playing high-quality live and on-demand videos within Facebook," says Raj Jaswa, Dyyno's CEO and president.

The Path
If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

Madison Scouts Extend The Contract Of Komnick
The Madison Scouts board of directors voted unanimously to extend the contract of Executive Director Chris Komnick through October 31, 2011. "Since taking the position in January of this year, Chris has done an excellent job in addressing our financial systems and invigorating our fund raising activities," said Jeff Manion, board president. "We are excited by the new programming direction charged by Chris and we are privileged that alumni such as Chris and James Mason have been willing to volunteer their services in the interest of advancing our corps."
"I wanted to ensure that we have stability in the leadership of the Madison Scouts to guide it through what will certainly be a critical transformation over the next couple of years," said Chris Komnick. "We are fortunate that many key people feel so strongly about the character of this organization that they have dedicated themselves personally to assure its survival. I am going to ask that our alumni and patrons do the same. The corps has a great vision for its future, now is the time to see that through with your financial support."
