From: alibi.com (Steven Robert Allen)
at the Santa Fe Opera
At its finest, the reality portrayed in opera is a hyperreality. Plucking out the most dramatic, the funniest, the most extreme moments in life, opera pins these events to the velvet, expanding them, drawing them out, embellishing them, digging into their weird emotional heart until their most profound elements are so intense they'll make you dizzy. In this way, the best opera productions become less about momentous events than about the unruly emotions that boil up in reaction to those events. This, I suspect, is why people attend opera in the first placefor the shot of adrenaline you get from being exposed to this kind of emotional vertigo.
Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar, this season's contemporary production from the Santa Fe Opera, is a hip modern affair in most ways. Gronk designed its flamboyant graffiti-esque set. To the extent it contains a plot at all, Ainadamar is distinctly nonlinear. The orchestra is filled with nontraditional instruments—guitars, marimbas and various Spanish percussion instruments. Likewise, the opera's sound design includes several prerecorded elements. Finally, unlike the sprawling classics of 19th century opera, Ainadamar is a quick shot at 75 minutesone act, no intermission, no chance to catch your breath.
Yet Golijov's brilliant creation feels traditional, nonetheless. Not a lot happens during those 75 minutes, but what does happen is examined with such dramatic musical intensity that by the time the curtain falls you'll feel as if entire lifetimes have passed before your eyes. (I mean this in a good way.)
Most of the opera consists of one long look at the execution of Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, who was shot to death by Fascist forces in 1936 during the first few days of the Spanish Civil War. Lorca was killed in his hometown of Granada in a place called Ainadamar, which means "the fountain of tears."
The main character in the opera, however, isn't Lorca but Margarita Xirgu, the great Spanish actress who collaborated with Lorca on many plays and did much to keep his memory alive following his execution. In Uruguay in 1969, at the end of her life, Xirgu looks back on the tragic events that took place more than 30 years earlier, when the dream of the Spanish Republic was crushed under the weight of Franco's superior military might. Lorca died during those years, but so did the dream of a free nation. When Xirgu died three decades later, the Fascists were still in power in Spain, a country to which she never dared return.
Golijov and his librettist, David Henry Hwang, spend a considerable amount of time tracing connections between Lorca and Mariana Pineda, a Spanish woman martyred in 1831 for sewing a revolutionary flag. Lorca's third play told her story, and Xirgu played the lead to great acclaim. The bond between these three figuresLorca, his historical inspiration and his artistic collaborator—form the center of Golijov's opera.
This SFO creation is the first fully staged production of Ainadamar ever to be produced, and they do it up right. Director Peter Sellars has pulled it all together admirably. Gronk's towering 20-foot-high painting, which covers not only all three walls but also the entire floor, is a tumultuous piece of work that accurately reflects the trauma and chaos of a bloody civil war. Lights shining from the front of the stage frequently cast giant shadows against Gronk's painting, lending an appropriately eerie ambiance to the story line.
The Spanish-influenced orchestration is adventurous but entirely accessible. Golijov uses lone trumpets, Spanish guitars and rhythm instruments to capture the poetry of Lorca's life and work. The choreography, especially that involving a chorus of women in black dresses, is equally lyrical and ominous.
Of course, none of this would work without a great starring cast. The performance by mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor as Lorca is near perfect. Dressed in a light suit, O'Connor combines masculine and feminine affectations into her character in a way that feels utterly seamless. Golijov has given both her and soprano Dawn Upshaw, who does an equally spectacular job in the role of Xirgu, a range of gorgeous melodies to sing. Given the brevity of this opera, it's surprising that the relationship between these two characters is developed so fully and convincingly. They both accomplish their parts with an impassioned erotic grace.
It's fitting that an opera about Lorca should be this poetic. Golijov and company have found a way to take one of the most tragic events in the history of 20th century art and politics, and transform it into a beautiful emblem of hope and freedom.

Snap cap info
Hello everyone. With wanting to get more into dry fire practice to work on trigger control, I have been looking into snap caps. I have read several times that A-Zooms are quite popular. However, I watched a couple of You Tube vids that showed the aluminum casing edge mushrooming out causing them to stick and leave debris in the chamber. I then watched some other vids on Tipton snap caps which did not do this - and also were spring loaded which seemed to make sense to me. Can others here please give me their input on different makes of snap caps, and the ones mentioned above? Thanks.

If you're using a modern centerfire gun, you don't need snap caps. Same goes modern for rimfire guns. Only old .22s and certain unusual guns are a problem.
I have a Wichita Silhouette pistol and a couple of old .22 rifles that can't be dryfired. All my 1911s, CZs, BHPs, wheelguns and rifles have been extensivly dryfired for decades.
Most of the snap caps I've looked at say on the package that they're not to be used as snap caps. You can use them for training, but not as snap caps.

The Kel Tec manual reads that their pistols are never to be dry fired as it will damage the firing pin...??

I use them, or spent cases in their place....opinions vary on whether dry fire is detrimental, but for .22's, unless the manuf. specifically states that dry fire is ok, I'd use one or at least a spent cartridge case to cushion the firing pin. Some makes of .22 will allow the nose of the firing pin to strike the barrel breach unless there is a cartridge or snap cap in place. Striking the barrel above the chamber, peens the edge and will eventually ruin both the barrel and pin.
You can make your own snap caps for center fire rounds by knocking out the primer and gluing a rubber eraser in it's place. They don't last forever but are easy to make replacements. I'm not familiar with Kel Tec pistols, but I'd say that a commercial snap cap or one the you make will suffice for protection of the firing pin, and would be ok for practice.

I use my snap caps primarily as training tools ( clearing malfunctions, etc )...by having a buddy blind load a mag...etc...
but my local range, and my shop ...are concrete floors...and the Tiptons, if they hit just right ( shatter like glass ) when they hit concrete.../ where the A-Zoom's hold up a lot better.
I only have one center fire caliber gun, that the mfg says not to dry fire.../ a Freedom Arms single action revolver in .357 mag...but its the combination of their firing pin design, and how hard the hammer strikes the firing pin ..that causes it to bottom out in the frame - breaking the firing pin. They're cheap and easy to change on that revolver....but I use A Zoom's in it instead..
I don't remember who makes them - but the soft plastic orange ones....( are junk ) in my opinon...

Thanks for the reply, BigJimP. I understand what you are using them for, but I was just wanting to work on trigger control for the time being so I wouldn't be ejecting the snap cap - just racking the slide back enough to reset the trigger. I have seen videos on the A-Zooms mushrooming out which concerned me. As long as I can keep the Tiptons from hitting the floor I should be ok
Thanks for moving this to the correct forum, Mods! I should have caught that before posting.

Raeburn Getting Settled into Wabash Jobby Jim Amidon • February 1, 2008 Share:
Erik A. Raeburn is on campus and taking the reigns of the Little Giant football program. Raeburn arrived in town Monday night, Feb. 4, and dived into media interviews, college business and even a Bachelor interview in his first day on the job."Erik Raeburn brings to Wabash a commitment to coaching student athletes to excellence on and off the field," said President White. "A champion who knows how to bring out championship performances in his teams, Coach Raeburn is a perfect fit for Wabash now and for our best dreams for the future."
Raeburn comes to Wabash after eight years as head football coach at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he posted a 57-26 record. Prior to arriving at Coe, Raeburn was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Mount Union College, where he served as offensive line coach and offensive coordinator.
"I'm really honored to have the opportunity to be the head football coach at Wabash College," said Raeburn. "I was so impressed with the atmosphere on campus when I attended the basketball game Wednesday night and saw how supportive the students are of the athletics program. I look forward to getting started soon."
At Coe, Raeburn coached 65 All-Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference players, 40 All-Americans, and two Academic All-Americans. He guided Coe to its first IIAC title in school history in 2002, and followed with conference championships in 2004 and 2005. He was the 2002 IIAC Coach of the Year and Regional Coach of the Year. He led the Kohawks to their first-ever playoff appearance in 2002, advancing to the second round, and also led Coe to the playoffs in 2005.
"We're very pleased to have a person with Erik's experience and ability," said Wabash Dean of Students Tom Bambrey, who led the search committee. "With his coaching experience at Mount Union and Coe, he brings us exactly the kinds of skills we were seeking. We're thrilled to have him as a part of our community."
Raeburn earned his bachelor of science degree in mathematics from Mount Union College and is currently pursuing his master's degree. As an assistant coach under Larry Kehres at Mount Union, he helped the Purple Raiders six Ohio Athletic Conference Championships and three NCAA Division III National Championships (1996, 1997, 1998).
Raeburn replaces Chris Creighton, who departed in December to become the head coach at Drake University. In 2007, Wabash won its third straight North Coast Athletic Conference championship and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Little Giants return 13 starting players from last year's 11-2 squad.

Because manmade materials aren't the only hazards we need to be concerned about, these easy, preventative steps can help you keep children safe from an unavoidable natural one.
Avoid peak sun intensity hours
This is an ideal strategy for limiting time in the sun. As the sun moves higher in the sky, the sun's rays become more intense and damaging to the skin and eyes. This is because the ultraviolet (UV) light travels a shorter, more direct distance to reach the Earth.
The peak sun intensity hours, when UV light is strongest, are between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. standard time or 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. daylight savings time. When possible, plan children's outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon when the sun's rays are less intense. By avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, sun exposure may be reduced by as much as 60%.
If outdoor activities during these peak times are unavoidable, encourage the use of protective clothing and sunglasses, suggest playing in shaded areas, and, of course, always use sunscreen.
Provide adequate shade
Shade can help protect children from the sun, but not all shade is created equal. The quality of shade an object provides depends on the sun's position in the sky, the size of the object making the shadow, and how much sunlight can penetrate the object.
Look at the size of the shadow (shade) that an object, such as a tree or building, provides at different times of the day. Shade is related to peak sun intensity hours. When the sun is low in the sky, the rays hitting an object make longer, larger shadows. When the sun is high in the sky, during peak sun intensity hours, shade areas are usually small. The best time to find large areas of shade is early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Quick tips
- Schedule outdoor activities before 10 a.m. and after 3 p.m. (standard time) or before 11 a.m. and after 4 p.m. (daylight savings time)
- Monitor the daily UV Index forecasts for your area (go to www.epa.gov or look in newspapers) and plan indoor activities on days of high sun intensity
- Teach children how to identify and find good sources of shade
- Keep infants and small children in the shade when outdoors
- Plan trips to parks and places where adequate shade is available
- Plant trees that provide maximum shade on school or child care center property
- Purchase portable shade structures such as umbrellas, tents, and tarps
- Build permanent shade structures such as porches, picnic shelters, and fabric shade canopies
- Include shade covering in the design of playground equipment and recreational areas
- Plant trees on south and west sides surrounding playground equipment

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Fred Couples was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame, a journey that began with what he called "the dumbest decision I ever made.'' It was one that, like so many other things in his life, turned out just fine.
Couples lost to eventual winner Hal Sutton in the 1980 U.S. Amateur and was headed to Houston for his final year of college.
For reasons he can't explain or remember, Couples instead went to Los Angeles and spent a week with friends of his parents. He became bored after a few days and asked if there was a golf course nearby. So he went down the street to El Dorado.
"We drive into the parking lot, and I knew something was going on because there was a big banner that said, `Queen Mary Open,''' he said.
Couples couldn't play or even hit balls because the course was booked, but a man he met in the pro shop, Larry Benson, invited him to play that afternoon. When they finished, Couples asked if he could enter the Queen Mary Open as an amateur before going back to school.
"Jokingly he said, `No, but if you turn pro we have a spot for you,''' Couples said. "I went back, had dinner with these people, the next morning drove back to the course and turned pro. Why? I have no idea. I didn't have a manager or an agent or a lawyer or a chef or a masseuse or a trainer or a cellphone or anyone to call. I made what was probably at the time the dumbest decision I ever made. Turned out to be the greatest decision.''
Couples tied for eighth with a former U.S. Amateur champion named Mark O'Meara, earning $1,800.
The hard part was calling home.
Couples said his mother kept calling Houston, and his then-roommate, CBS announcer Jim Nantz, kept telling her, "He's not in right now.'' Couples finally called her and she was OK with the decision. Then she handed the phone to his father.
"I said, `Hey, dad, I just made $1,800.' And he hung up on me,'' Couples said.
That's not the end of the story.
Couples at first thought he could play as a pro for the Queen Mary Open and then go back to school. Good thing he ran into Tom Lamore, a buddy from Houston, who shed some light on the situation.
"He says, `You realize tour school applications have to be postmarked on Friday,''' Couples said. "I didn't know what `postmarked' meant, and I had already borrowed $200 to enter the Queen Mary Open. I borrowed $500 from Tom Lamore's uncle. They got it in, I went to the regional, qualified. I went to Fresno and qualified. And then two months later, I was on the PGA Tour.''
HOLIDAY OR US OPEN?: With his runner-up finish in the Wells Fargo Championship, David Lynn of England all but assured himself a spot in his first U.S. Open. He moved to No. 42 in the world, and the top 60 in three weeks are exempt from qualifying.
One problem. Lynn already booked a vacation the week of the U.S. Open, and he has no plans to postpone that.
"I need a holiday, to be honest,'' he said after his playoff loss at Quail Hollow. "So I'm going to do that.''
He does need a break.
Lynn earned his PGA Tour card by virtue of his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship last summer. In his first year playing both tours, he already will have reached his minimum 15 events on the U.S. tour at The Players Championship. If that sounds like a lot, consider that he has reached the minimum in 17 weeks. The Players will be his eighth straight tournament.
Lynn is headed back to England after this week and said he would not return to America until the PGA Championship the second week in August. More valuable than his world ranking was what his runner-up finish did for his standings in the FedEx Cup. He moved to No. 25. Not only does that assure him a spot in the playoffs, he's probably safe for at least the first two events.
MONTY IN AMERICA: After all these years, Colin Montgomerie is coming to America to play a full schedule – on the Champions Tour.
Montgomerie was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday night on the strength of winning the Order of Merit eight times on the European Tour. And while he never won a major, another gap in his resume is that he never won a PGA Tour event. Montgomerie reached as high as No. 2 in the world, and one question about his career is what would have happened if he had ever played a full season or more in America.
"I was tempted very often,'' Montgomerie said. "I was asked numerous occasions by Deane Beman to start with and also by Tim Finchem to come over here and play full time in the States, whether it be one season or more, and family commitments kept me in Europe. I was very happy and comfortable at home.''
He also was able to collect plenty in appearance money by staying in Europe, where he was the top player on that tour for most of the 1990s.
"I was very happy in Europe and I was comfortable in that position, and therefore I stayed there,'' he said. "If it's not bust, you don't fix it, and that was why I really didn't come over here. But I look forward now in many ways to starting a chapter of my life to come over here now, where the children have grown up. My wife and I are looking so much forward to coming over here and playing the Champions Tour.''
Montgomerie turns 50 next month. He is eligible for the senior circuit as a Hall of Fame member.
POOR SHOWING: One of the more awkward moments at the World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony came at the start, when members in attendance were introduced on stage. Only eight of them showed up, all of them women – Nancy Lopez, Donna Caponi, Judy Rankin, Beth Daniel, Carol Mann, Hollis Stacy, Louise Suggs and Canadian amateur Marlene Stewart Streit.
That remains one trouble area for the Hall of Fame – getting support from those already in the Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame always has been viewed as more of an achievement on the LPGA Tour than the men's tours, and it shows at every induction ceremony.
DIVOTS: Bo Van Pelt and Geoff Ogilvy are among those playing the World Match Play Championship next week in Bulgaria. … USA Golf, recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee as managing the men's and women's Olympic teams for Rio, named six people to its board of directors. Kerry Haigh from the PGA of America and John Bodenhamer of the USGA will be co-chairman. The other directors are PGA Tour senior vice president Ross Berlin, LPGA senior vice president Heather Daly-Donofrio, and players Paul Goydos and Allison Duncan. … Oregon golf coach Casey Martin shot 69 at Portland Golf Club to advance to sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Of the 146 members of the World Golf Hall of Fame, 47 percent of them have been inducted since 2000.
FINAL WORD: "I've had the greatest playground for 33 years.'' – Fred Couples.

With over 700,000 fans expected to attend the U.S. Open, which started August 27 and lasts until September 9, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center has a number of options to feed them.
At the tennis tournament there are 60 concession stands, five restaurants, the new Moët & Chandon Terrace, which features champagne and a full service bar, and several other food and drink offerings.
Though there will be game day favorites available, such as beer and hot dogs, the U.S. Open's food and drink selection is more sophisticated and international than what you can get during most sporting events.
The Food Village is the U.S. Open's main concessions area and serves cuisine from around the world—from Mexican to Indian, to Italian and Japanese—plus sandwiches, lobster rolls and half-pound burgers.
Other dining options include the new Heineken Red Star Café, the seafood and sushi restaurant Aces, steakhouse Champions Bar & Grill, Mojito Restaurant and Bar, which serves Latin cuisine, the Patio Café & Bar, which has a casual menu of salads, burgers sandwiches as well as specialty cocktails, and a wine and food bar featuring Mediterranean small plates.

Jim Collier 7/20/2004 8:02:20 AMHey Bob, remember me--I'm the guy who thought your "Clouds on the Beach" shot was too saturated.
This has got to be one of if not THE best shot I've ever seen! Not too many things make my jaw drop anymore. I cannot BELIEVE you didn't win the grand prize with this. What are those guys smoking, and can they send some of it to me!? Damn. This is the first and so far only shot I've seen on the internet that has made me think, "maybe I can up MY game a little".
BTW I think I've said this before, but I absolutely love your "Idyll" shot. It's the second best shot in your gallery, and a stunningly beautiful shot. (At first I thought the sky was too uninteresting, but it does look like you jazzed it up just a hint with a camera filter or photoshop gradient, and you wouldn't want it stealing the glory of the rolling hills with sheep).
Anyway kudos on this shot and thanks for a little inspiration from a guy who thought he was long since past that. -Jim #660565

Best classical music albums of 2012
As in the past, my annual classical recording picks are recent compact disc releases I consider important, unusual, extraordinary, or a combination of the above. I make no pretense that my 10 selections are the "best" recordings of 2012, only that they represent some of the recordings that have given me particular pleasure this past year. -- John von Rhein

A six-week course of hepatitis C (HCV) treatment with three oral medications yielded 95%-100% cure rates in a study presented by Anita Kohli, M.D., at the 21st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2014). The researchers suggested that such short-course treatment could be particularly beneficial to people with limited access to health care and difficulty with adherence, both in the U.S. and in resource-poor nations.
Current standard HCV treatment involves weekly injections for 12 weeks or longer and does not always cure the infection. Since many people with HCV have a history of injection drug use, treatment with needles is sometimes problematic. New direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) allow for needle-free HCV treatment and avoid the use of pegylated interferon, which often causes troublesome side effects.
The NIAID SYNERGY study enrolled 60 individuals living with HCV in Washington, D.C. About 70% were men, mostly African-American, and 70% had HCV subtype 1a, which is difficult to treat. However, none of the participants were coinfected with HIV or hepatitis B, and those suffering from cirrhosis were excluded from the two six-week arms of the study.
Study participants were randomized to one of three arms: dual therapy with sofosbuvir (Sovaldi)/ledipasvir for 12 weeks, or sofosbuvir/ledipasvir plus either GS-9669 (a non-nucleoside NS5B site 2 polymerase inhibitor) or GS-9451 (an NS3 protease inhibitor) for six weeks. Twelve-week post-treatment sustained virological response (SVR12), a measure of HCV cure, was between 95% (for those taking sofosbuvir/ledipasvir and GS-9669) and 100% (in the two other arms).
"Hepatitis C can be successfully and safely treated in six weeks using three direct acting agents with different mechanisms of action," the researchers concluded. "This short duration, simple therapy for HCV may prove relevant for the global elimination of hepatitis C, where uncomplicated, well-tolerated therapy is required to ensure adherence and minimize health care expenditures."
This study was designed as an eight-arm trial, with future arms enrolling patients with cirrhosis in the regimen that includes the NS3 protease inhibitor GS-9451 and evaluating a four-week regimen of three oral drugs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Mike Trout had his 21st multi-hit game, Jason Vargas pitched into the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 on Friday night to extend their winning streak to six games.
Trout had two hits, stole his 11th base and scored two runs, including one on a wild pitch. He is hitting .366 in May.
Vargas (4-3) allowed two runs and five hits over 7 1-3 innings to win is fourth straight decision in five May starts. He is 12-4 in May since the start of the 2009 season.
Trout led off the Angels' three-run seventh with a walk and stole second. Mark Trumbo extended his hitting streak to nine games with a RBI-single. The inning also included Albert Pujols scoring on a Howie Kendrick sacrifice fly and Trumbo scoring on Alberto Callaspo's double.
The Angels had chances against Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza, but the team was 1 for 9, stranding eight runners against him.
Trout scored the only run off Mendoza in the third inning and that was on a wild pitch with two out.
Miguel Tejada's second home run of the week and the 306th of his career tied the score in the third.
In the fifth, Lorenzo Cain singled and stole second. Vargas intentionally walked Tejada with two outs, but Chris Getz's singled up the middle to score Cain.
Luke Hochevar (0-1), who replaced Mendoza, could not keep the 2-1 lead for long. Chris Iannetta homered for the second straight night to tie it 2-2 before the Angels broke it open in the seventh.
Mendoza allowed seven hits and a run in five innings. He walked four and had two wild pitches.
Garrett Richards, who replaced Vargas, got Getz to ground into a double play to end the eighth with runners on the corners. Richards got the final five outs for his first save in two opportunities.
The Royals lost for the 14th time in 18 games to fall a season-worst three-games below .500. They have scored two or less runs in 11 of those defeats.
Notes: RHP Billy Buckner, who was a rookie in 2007 with the Royals, will start today. He will be the 10th starter used by the Angels, while the club used only eight starters last year. He was promoted May 16 from Triple-A Salt Lake, where he was 4-2 with a 4.56 ERA in eight starts. ... 3B Mike Moustakas, who is hitting .149 in May, was not in the Royals lineup. Tejada started at third. ... Royals LHP Danny Duffy, who had reconstructive elbow surgery last June, will begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday with Double-A Northwest Arkansas. ... Callaspo has nine RBIs in his past 11 games.

It's a few weeks later than we expected, but Disney World is now 3D in Google Earth — and it's impressive! They've included the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Disney Resorts.
There are actually two parts to this:
- The normal 3D buildings layer will add all kinds of visual goodness, such as buildings, trees, statues, etc.
- The special Disney layer will add information about the parks and the hotels.
To activate the 3D buildings, simply check the box next to "3D Buildings" in the "Layers" tab like you normally would.
To activate the Disney layer, go to "Gallery -> Travel and Tourism -> Walt Disney World". Once you've turned that on, along with the 3D buildings, fly down there (KML) and check it out.
The 3D aspect of this is stunning, but be warned — it's very graphically intensive. I've got a pretty solid machine, and it slowed it down quite noticeably. Still, it's well worth checking out. Have fun!
Update: Frank Taylor has just made a nice little video that takes you through the 3D Magic Kingdom. Check it out:

Someone has found the manual to Sun's Ultra 40 - which hasn't even been announced yet. The machine clearly is the bigger brother of the Ultra 20. It apparently sports two AMD Opteron processors (single or dualcore; 2.0Ghz or faster; 1MB cache), eight PC3200 DIMM slots (2GB per DIMM), and more. It will come pre-loaded with Solaris 10 (obviously) but RedHat/SUSE Linux Enterprise/Windows are also supported, in both 32bit and 64bit.

Starting with Eisner and continuing under Iger, Disney has become a company that seems uncomfortable in its own skin. It's like they went from being a fine cuisine restaurant to one with McDonald's envy, desperate to cater to the tasteless masses. I just don't get it...

Sorry Thad, but I don't agree. When Ron Miller and Card Walker were at the helm, Disney may have become more conservative and risk averse , but there was still the unmistakable Disney look and feel to everything they produced. I know you don't care much for Disney yourself, but for those of us that grew up loving Disney films the loss of that Disney "look" is extremely disheartening. I think you know very well that I'm specifically criticizing the way Eisner and Iger have forsaken the Disney in-house look and gone for all of these very unDisneylike shows and movies, indistinguishable from everybody else's product. Let's be honest - you WB fans were aghast at what they did to the Looney Tunes characters when they did that idiotic "Loonatics Unleashed" show, as well you should be. I see this revisionist approach to The Seven Dwarfs as being just as bad as that.

Pete, I apologize for this, but what you wrote compelled me to dash out a lengthy reply...
That 70s/80s art is more "Disney", but at what cost? Remember: it was during Eisner's reign that a lot of the standard characters art went back to something more traditional (the button-eye Mickey became prevalent on merchandise), the studio actually entered that fascinatingly evil world of animated television, and you can't deny that the features got better and less inbred for a few years. He screwed up big time later, no denying that. But the years before he came to power were just as much a breeding ground for all kinds of ugly artwork and just awful films. Rather than Mickey looking like Adventure Time, he looked like Filmation.
There are parallels to the WB characters, and the main one is that the corporate offices just don't care about these characters' livelihoods. Once in awhile, they'll employ a guy who's clearly going beyond the status quo, like that guy drawing the Hallmark Looney Tunes cards, or the guys writing and drawing compelling versions of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for Egmont in Denmark, unseen and unappreciated by American audiences. Or you. And god bless you, because you're among the few who actually care about maintaining a standard of good drawing and integrity in a thankless vacuum.
LOONATICS, like this D7 thing, was clearly a completely separate entity from the original source. I think they'll do less harm than the Nichols/King shorts did to the Disney shorts' reputation in general.
The D7 designs are ugly to be sure, but I think the originals can rest easy. Should we see a shift in Grumpy "kiss my ass" t-shirts from the Tyla model to this hackwork, then you have every right to complain.
Conversely, there does seem to be an overwhelmingly cynical campaign to shove that paramountly lame Looney Tunes Show down our throats as the 'official' version of the characters; something like that deserves far more disdain. (There might be hope as they realized what a POS they have on their hands and are now bringing in people that can actually draw the characters, like David Alvarez. There was already an interstitial animated using Alvarez's work, and Porky and Daffy actually look like Porky and Daffy.)
I think though, Pete, that we both agree that the work is moving towards a purer form of crap.. I just happen to think that that devolution began a lot earlier...

GTA San Andreas Highly Compressed Free Download
Do you like this story?
San Andreas definitely lives up to the Grand Theft Auto name. In fact, it's arguably the best game in the series.ow do you follow up a runaway success like 2001's Grand Theft Auto III? Rockstar North responded a year later with GTA: Vice City, a game that took the gameplay of its predecessor and expanded it considerably. At the same time, Vice City gave the series an extensive and amazing stylistic makeover, drenching the experience in the sights, sounds, and attitude of Miami, Florida from the mid '80s. So where do you go from there? You take it statewide. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas expands the series' concept to encompass three entire cities, as well as the countryside between them. The gameplay similarly expands, packing in some explosive set pieces and amazing action-movie-like thrills while maintaining that same remarkably fun, freefom GTA feel. In short, Rockstar has done it again. San Andreas definitely lives up to the Grand Theft Auto name. In fact, it's arguably the best game in the series.
This latest installment takes place in 1992 in the West Coast-themed state of San Andreas. San Andreas is an island containing three cities. You'll begin the game in the city of Los Santos, which is based roughly on Los Angeles and consists of a mixture of ritzy downtown areas and the gangland ghettos of South Central. San Fierro is based on San Francisco, reproducing the real city's hilly terrain and ever-present fog. The game's third city is Las Venturas, which is a great take on early-'90s Las Vegas, complete with a strip full of casinos and the surrounding desert. While one-to-one measurements against previous games in the series are difficult in practice, San Andreas definitely feels like a much, much larger place than Vice City ever did, but at the same time, the growth is handled intelligently. There are plenty of things to do both in and out of the cities, which makes all this real estate matter.
While Grand Theft Auto III was inspired by movies like The Godfather and Vice City took several pages from the Scarface playbook, San Andreas draws its inspiration from the ghetto and gangsta struggle films of the early '90s. Movies like Menace II Society and Boyz N the Hood are the clear influences here. In San Andreas, you play the role of Carl "CJ" Johnson. The game opens with Carl returning to Los Santos after spending the last five years in GTA III's Liberty City. But his homecoming isn't a happy one--he's returning home because his mother has been killed. Carl isn't on the ground for more than an hour before he's picked up by a pair of crooked cops and thrown right back into the middle of the street life he left Los Santos to avoid.
Your first order of business in Los Santos is to put your set back on the map. Your gang, the Grove Street Families, has fallen into disarray over the last five years, and their influence is minimal at best. So you, along with the three other leaders of the gang--the long-winded Big Smoke, the dust-smoking Ryder, and your stubborn brother, Sweet--set out to take back the streets from your rivals, the Ballas, who have turned to dealing crack to earn money and gain influence in the hood. You set out on a series of missions to take back your territory, starting small with things like spray-painting over other gangs' tags (which is one of the many new types of actions that replace previous GTA games' more-generic hidden package collecting here), but quickly moving up to drive-bys and other acts of extreme gangsterism. But there's a whole lot more to San Andreas than just set tripping.Just when you think you're getting used to gang warfare, everything goes sour. We're certainly not interested in spoiling the game's many interesting plot twists, so we'll leave out the details, but it should suffice to say that you'll eventually need to get the heck out of Los Santos. You wind up in the country outside the city, where you'll encounter many more great characters and officially embark on your quest to put right what's gone wrong. Once you get out of Los Santos, you won't really have to worry about gang warfare for a while, and the game settles down into a more GTA-like feel.
Like the previous games in the series, San Andreas features a fairly linear story that takes you through the game's areas. You'll start off restricted to Los Santos--something the story justifies by claiming that an earthquake has taken out the bridges and roads that link Los Santos to the surrounding area--but it doesn't take long to unlock the other two areas. The game also throws in some pretty great surprises in the form of characters from previous entries in the series. These characters tie the GTA games together really nicely, so while San Andreas feels pretty different from the other games in the series, it still feels like you're playing in the same universe.
As in the previous games, most of your progress is accomplished by completing missions for a variety of individuals. These missions are oftentimes similar to missions you've seen in previous games in the series. You'll drive people around, take out specific individuals (an early mission gives you the straightforward objective of beating up a crack dealer, for example), do drive-bys on your enemies, and so on. But as you proceed through the game, the missions get crazier and crazier. Along the way you'll pull off a daring casino heist, steal some wicked military hardware, "take care" of plenty of Mafia bozos, and much, much more. The missions in the game are a lot more exciting, on average, than they have been in some previous GTA games. Additionally, the game is a lot better at spelling out what, exactly, needs to be done. It does this with onscreen text that color-codes each specific piece of a mission differently. Yet while the basics of the gameplay--taking on and completing missions--are similar to past GTA games, there are plenty of details to uncover, and plenty of new things to try.

Gordon scores 19, leads No. 2 Arizona to 79-58 win over Texas Tech
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TUCSON, Ariz. – A little sloppy, but no serious letdown.
That's the best way to describe No. 2 Arizona's first outing since its emotional victory over Duke in championship game of the NIT Season Tip-off.
Freshman Aaron Gordon scored 19 points, Nick Johnson and Brandon Ashley added 18 each and the Wildcats beat Texas Tech 79-58 on Tuesday night.
"I mean, a win's a win so you're always happy about that," point guard T.J. McConnell said. "But I think we played a little sluggish. We all know we could have played a little bit better."
Johnson, the NIT Season Tip-off's MVP, made a career-best 4 3-pointers in 6 attempts.
"I will tell you this," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "There aren't many guards that are playing college basketball that are more important to their team or any better than Nick Johnson right now."
Ashley grabbed 10 rebounds, one shy of his career high, and made both of his 3-point tries.
The Wildcats (8-0) scored the first 10 points of the game and led by 10 points after a sloppy first half. They were up by as many as 23 points in the second half.
Arizona moved up two spots to second in the poll this week after the win over Duke at Madison Square Garden last Friday. The Wildcats took eight hours to get home, having to make two refueling stops on the way, and Miller was a bit concerned about how his team would come out Tuesday.
Arizona wasn't at its best but was good enough to win by a comfortable margin.
"No question we could have played better at times," Miller said, "but it's a long season and it's difficult to ask for perfection in every game from start to finish."
Kader Tapsoba and Jaye Crockett scored 11 points each for the Red Raiders (6-3) and Aaron Ross added 10.
It was the highest-scoring game of the season for Gordon, who was 7 of 10 from the field but just 4 of 12 from the free throw line. He had eight rebounds as Arizona dominated the boards 43-23. McConnell had 10 assists, one short of his career best.
"When you play with guys this talented, it makes a point guard look good," McConnell said. "It makes the point guard's life easier. As I've been saying all year, credit to them because they're making the plays. I'm just getting them the ball."
Johnson said they didn't make enough plays.
"We missed too many shots," Johnson said. "He should have had 13 (assists)."
Of Johnson's two missed 3-pointers, one came from midcourt at the halftime buzzer.
Leading 35-25 at halftime, Arizona opened the second half with a 12-2 run. After Gordon's dunk, McConnell stole the ball in the backcourt and passed to Johnson, who made his fourth 3-pointer to put the Wildcats ahead 44-27 with 17:15 to play. Ashley's two free throws capped the run and put the Wildcats up 47-27 with 16:35 to go.
Texas Tech, in its first season under coach Tubby Smith, never got closer than 15 points after that.
"They play hard and they made shots tonight," Smith said of the Wildcats. "You get that type of outside shooting along with a guy like Aaron who is just a tough matchup for anybody. They are very talented, the best team we have played so far. I thought Pittsburgh was pretty good but this is a tough place to play."
A 6-0 spurt cut the Arizona lead to 60-45 with 8:33 left, but after Gordon missed two free throws, he grabbed a rebound at the other and drove the length of the court for a dunk to make it 62-45 with 7:42 remaining.
The Wildcats, opening a three-game home stand, scored the first 10 points of the game, six by Gordon.
A three-point play by Tapsoba and Crockett's inside basket cut the lead to 23-18 with 5:18 left in the half.
Johnson hit three 3-pointers in an 11-2 run that gave Arizona a 35-21 lead with 1:56 left.
But after the Wildcats' 11th turnover, Crockett hit a 10-footer and Randy Onwuasor made two free throws to slice the lead to 35-25 at halftime.
The Red Raiders shot 32 percent in the first half (8 for 25) and were outrebounded 22-9.
After committing 11 turnovers in the first half, the Wildcats had just four in the second.
The Red Raiders don't play again until Dec. 15, when they are home against Central Arkansas.

In this video, Ibarionex discusses the importance of framing your compositions with awareness of what's happening along the edges of the frame. Instead of singularly focusing on your subject, he demonstrates how three photographers use the elements along the edges of their respective frames to create strong impactful photographs.
Each week, we pull images submitted by listeners to The Candid Frame Flickr pool. You can submit images for consideration in these weekly videos as well as become part of a growing community of photographers.
Sean Tucker is a photographer, YouTuber, Instagrammer, and a former priest. But in all these roles, he has always imagined himself a storyteller. His journey from the priesthood to a professional photographer has provided him a unique career path but also a wealth of experiences that he openly shares on his popular YouTube channel.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the importance of trusting your composition. He discusses how fixed visual elements in a scene allow a photographer to find their composition. He explains how fluid elements such as people, animals, and even light can be added to the photograph. He stresses the importance of remaining true to the composition and not compromising the shot for the transitory elements.
Endia Beal is a North Carolina based artist, who is internationally known for her photographic narratives and video testimonies that examine the personal, yet contemporary stories of marginalized communities and individuals. Beal currently serves as the Director of Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University and Associate Professor of Art.
Jim Herrington is a photographer whose portraits of celebrities including Benny Goodman, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, Cormac McCarthy, Morgan Freeman and Dolly Parton have appeared on the pages of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire, GQ, Outside and Men's Journal as well as on scores of album covers for more than three decades. He has photographed international ad campaigns for clients such as Thule, Trek Bikes, Gibson Guitars and Wild Turkey Bourbon.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses how the presence of direct eye contact from the subject of the photograph transforms the experience for the viewer. He examines how either eye contact or the lack of eye contact be used by photographers to control the experience of looking at a photograph.
Gary Nicholl's personal fine-art project The Imaginarium started as a 20-image short story but has grown into a 450 image trilogy with 150 genuine Steampunks involved, taking storytelling to a whole new level. Combining his passion for the world of steampunk and photography, he creates amazing composited images that test the limits of image making and storytelling.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the importance of varying one's approach when making photographs on the street. He talks about different ways of making photographs from shooting from the hip to waiting and allowing a scene to play out. Both have their advantages, but he suggests something that falls somewhere between those two methods.
In this live webinar conducted through Rocky Nook publishing, I discuss the role of light and shadow and how it can elevate your photography. The discussion is tied to the release of my new book Making Photographs: Developing a Personal Visual Workflow.
Trey Ratcliff is a photographer, artist, writer and adventurer. Trey's images and stories capture the beauty of exotic travel destinations and the humor of the bizarre situations he often finds himself in. There is always something new, unexpected and beautiful to see.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the idea of creating images that appear purposefully casual. By this, he means how a photographer uses graphic elements to compose a photograph but creates a result that comes off as very subtle and calls less attention to the actual presence of the photographer.
Each year hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to make purchases online. That's especially the case when it comes to camera equipment. Back in the day, you would peruse the back pages of a popular photo magazine and call a 1-800 number. Now, you can buy camera gear using nothing more than your smartphone.
The ease by which you can buy an item can be problematic if the only thing you're reading is the sale price. It can be tempting to immediately click on that button when you see the promise of hundreds of dollars in savings. However price alone shouldn't be the only determining factor for you hitting the buy button.
Suzanne Sease is a creative consultant and former ad-agency senior art buyer. She works with both emerging and established photographers and illustrators to create cohesive, persuasive presentations that clients can't resist.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses the role of anticipation and patience in producing great street photographs. He explains how recognizing the potential of a scene and waiting for the moment to play out increases the likelihood that you will produce a great photograph.
For the past 5 years, I have been using the Fujifilm x100s as my preferred camera of choice. After borrowing a friend's camera for my first trip to Europe, I purchased my own and it's been hanging on my shoulder almost every day.
Fujifilm replaced the camera with the x100T and later the x100F each of which offered performance enhancements and new features which improved on an already fine camera. Yet despite these advancements, I delayed upgrading. And though those later versions addressed some of the issues that I and others had with my camera, I didn't make a beeline for my camera store with my credit card burning in my hand.
BRIAN "B+" CROSS is one of the most prominent music photographers working today. He has photographed many album covers for artists such as Damian Marley, David Axelrod, DJ Shadow, Flying Lotus, Eazy-E, J Dilla, Jurassic 5, Rza, Company Flow, Madlib, Dilated Peoples, Mos Def, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington and Q-Tip. Cross was the director of photography for the Academy Award–nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, and he has made several feature-length music films (Keepintime, Brasilintime and Timeless) and many music videos.
In this week's video, Ibarionex discusses how light falling differently on disparate elements in the frame can result in more complex and interesting compositions. He suggests how looking beyond the subject, you can develop an awareness of the environment that will open you up to stronger photographs.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon making photographs in Pasadena. I was getting familiar with the new Fujifilm X100F that I had purchased to replace the X100S I had been using as my primary camera for the past 5 years.
It was while walking through the streets that I spotted this shopping cart discarded in a parking lot. It reminded me of an assignment I had given myself years ago where I challenged myself to photograph nothing but shopping carts for the week.

BERWYN, Ill. (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn says
lawmakers should have plenty of time to deal with pension reform and other
major issues during a shortened lame duck session.
Legislators are scheduled to return to Springfield next week. Quinn has said he
wants them to approve a fix for the state's estimated $95 billion pension
crisis before new lawmakers are sworn in Jan. 9. Other issues that could be on
the agenda are a gambling expansion, allowing gay marriage and a bill to let
illegal immigrants have driver's licenses.
Legislative leaders in the House and Senate have canceled some of the
days lawmakers had been scheduled to meet.
Speaking at an unrelated event yesterday, Quinn said he talked with the
leaders Monday and believes there will still be "ample time" to get
things done.

More than three months after Hosni Mubarak was ousted from presidency, tens of thousands of Egyptians converged on Tahrir Square for what some are calling a "second revolution." While they have ousted their dictator, many are impatient with the pace of change under Egypt's interim military rulers and see a need for steady pressure.
They saw the announcement this week that Mr. Mubarak will be tried for killing more than 800 protesters as vindication that their strategy is working. Now, they're redoubling efforts to ensure that their other demands are met.
"If we put on more pressure, we will get more results," says Waleed Rashed of the April 6 Youth Movement, an organization that started as a Facebook group in 2008 and became one of the instigators of the Egyptian revolution. "We want to always remind the military and the government that we are here and we are following them day by day."
Many attended today's "second day of rage," a reference to the Jan. 28 protests that resulted in violent clashes with police, because they are displeased with the performance of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and they want to see faster trials of Mubarak and members of the former regime. They want to speed up democratic reform. Others were there to denounce military tribunals; activists say thousands of Egyptians have been unjustly convicted since late January.
"The people in charge are still corrupt," said Egyptian blogger Mostafa Sheshtawy as friends greeted him in Tahrir Square. "We are ... the people who can build this country."
No unified set of demands
Tahrir Square on Friday was reminiscent of the 18 iconic days before Mubarak was ousted from presidency on Feb. 11, and the many Friday protests that have followed since. People carried signs and children wore revolutionary headbands with the colors of their prized Egyptian flag. Today, the square was a bit less crowded.
Similar to the all the other protests that have taken place since Jan. 25, Friday's lacked central leadership; there was no single list of agreed-upon demands among various activists, party members and individuals.
"It doesn't seem that it's a strategy focused on the Egyptian population, but a strategy focused on keeping up the pressure on the military," says Michele Dunne of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "They feel as soon as they stop protesting, they will lose all their leverage and they're not satisfied with what they've achieved so far."
Many Egyptians urge patience
But many are content to give the military the benefit of the doubt.
"The protesters fear we are losing the revolution," says student Heba Marrey, standing at the main gate of Cairo University's sprawling campus with piles of books in her arms – too busy to attend the protest. "But the people who aren't going are simply saying: be patient."
Ms. Marrey says she supports the military because unlike the uprisings in countries like Libya and Syria, the Egyptian military helped their revolution. Many are, for the most part, pleased with the way the military is ruling and want to move forward in the post-revolution period.
"I think there is tension between the ongoing revolution and the political transition and [many Egyptians] are caught in the middle," says Dr. Dunne of the Carnegie Endowment.
Some warn that impatience could undermine protesters' efforts
Analysts say the lack of patience among protesters may ultimately damage the demonstrators' efforts to evoke effective and sustained change. "I think most Egyptians want to move on and move into the post-protest phase and they want to return to normalcy, politically and economically," says Shadi Hamid of the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar. "I don't think there is a lot of sympathy for endless protesting and I'm worried these activists are going to wear the patience of the people they are trying to reach out to."
Dr. Hamid argues that the protesters are not playing the "long game" in politics and should be focusing on party building instead of ongoing demonstrations. "Where is the long term vision? At some point the military is not going to lead and you have to plan for the post-military phase," he says.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which is expected to field candidates for about 50 percent of seats in the upcoming parliamentary elections, announced on May 25 that the group would not participate in Friday's protests because it may cause unnecessary strife. Instead, the Brotherhood called for political unity.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces released a statement Thursday warning protesters of possible clashes. They were not present in the square to protect the demonstrators, whom they say have the right to peacefully protest.
Nada Abdel Mageed, sitting on a dark green fence in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday and holding up a hand-written sign, could have spoken for many when she said, "I'm here for the concept of freedom."

If possible, buy organic bananas and real peanut butter (just peanuts and NO hydrogenated fat, refined sugar or fake salt).
|Banana with peanut butter, the perfect snack
Chef Rob,
I have a question. I like avocados and use them in a variety of ways including snacks, but one thing I have not been able to find out is -- sometimes as the avocado ripens a pinkish-brownish layer forms between the skin and the flesh, which becomes apparent when the fruit is peeled rather than scooped out. What is this and should it be scraped off? I would hate to throw away a perfectly good fruit, but then again, I don't want to eat something bad either.
I have no idea, but I'll try to find out. Does anyone know?
It's too easy to eat the whole container of peanut butter though. Should be a banned food because one delicious spoonful leads to another and another.

Growing Herbs Indoors
For most parts of the country, winter means that caring for plants outside is not an option. How do you fulfill your need to garden? Indoor herb gardens provide an opportunity to continue gardening in less than ideal weather, and provide you with fresh herbs for cooking.
Here are some tips to start your own indoor herb garden:
- Find an area of your house that receives about 8 hours of sunlight every day. This is the most likely a south-facing window. If you don't get much sunlight in the winter, consider purchasing a light to help your herbs grow.
- If you're new to herbs, start slow. Chives, parsley and mint are easier to grow.
- Give your herbs room to grow. Don't squish them together just because they're inside. Ensure they have proper space.
- Spray your herbs with water every so often. The heat in your house can be too dry, and a light mist help keep them moist.
- Make sure your pots have holes, so extra water can drain.
- Keep an eye out for pests as some bugs can thrive in your warm house. If you see an insect infestation, spray your herbs with soapy water.
- If you have kids or pets, make sure the herbs are either safe for their consumption of kept out of reach.
Once your region starts to warm up, you can gradually move your indoor herb garden outside to join your other garden plants. They can easily be moved back inside when the weather is cold again.

What was the FG?
I caught myself thinking about what the guidelines call for... I'm not certain he wants it to be in style though. Lets assume he wants to add lactose, for whatever reason, post fermentation. I'd be very curious how to do that without oxidizing the beer or getting clumps of lactose. Would you dissolve it like bottling sugar and gently stir in? Personally I would be fairly happy with a dryish RIS, but I don't think that is the point. Lets say for example it was a Sweet Stout that was too dry. How would you add lactose downstream?

Registration Opens for WebWise 2013
Putting the Learner at the Center
Washington, DC—Registration is now open for the Institute of Museum and Library Services' (IMLS) WebWise Conference, which will take place March 6-8 at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace in Baltimore, MD. WebWise 2013 will feature a new format that allows for more discussion, learning, and connecting with potential partners and collaborators.
A signature initiative of IMLS, the WebWise Conference annually brings together representatives of museums, libraries, archives, systems science, education, and other fields to explore the many opportunities made possible by digital technologies. WebWise highlights recent research and innovations in digital technology, explores their potential impacts on library and museum services, and promotes effective museum and library practices in a digital environment. It also provides recipients of technology-based grants from the Institute with an opportunity to showcase their exemplary projects. George Mason University's Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) is helping to organize the conference.
WebWise 2013 will focus on the theme "Putting the Learner at the Center." This year, WebWise will steal a page from participant-driven "unconferences" and THATCamps and feature a participatory and interactive format. The new format extends last year's successful WiseCamp pre-conference and responds to conference participants' calls for more hands-on and collaborative sessions by featuring participant-chosen workshops, project demonstrations, project incubation working groups, and lightning talks, all designed to foster opportunities for collaboration and learning. For example:
- Workshops: Want to learn a new digital skill? Through the use of an online tool called IdeaScale, participants will have an opportunity to help shape the conference agenda by submitting workshop topics, voting on existing topics, or adding comments. Workshops could include how to participate in the Digital Public Library of America or create online collections; the topics will be up to you.
- Project Demonstrations: Learn from nine exemplary projects in extended demonstration sessions with time for audience questions and in-depth discussions.
- Project/Partnership Incubator: Participate in small working sessions to connect, hatch new ideas, and work with potential collaborators.
- Sharing: Share results from small groups, be inspired by the keynote speaker, and leave WebWise with excitement and actionable to-dos to implement at your home institution.
Those seeking more information about the conference should visit the WebWise 2013 website, which also provides a registration form.

I write a "life" blog -- well, it's about life the way I see things. I'm married with two sons (a teen and a tween) and currently live in Connecticut (although I've lived in the NY, AL, LA, and TX before I landed here!). I usually have musings on Mondays, offer tips on Tuesdays, add photos and scrapbook layouts on Wednesday, Blog about my crazy life (with some humor and sarcasm thrown in) on Thursdays and Fridays and then sum up my weekends on Sundays. My goal is to make you think a little and, hopefully, laugh a little too. I'm not about give-aways and contests -- there are many great bloggers who do that (and I follow them too!). I just love to write, take photos, do crafts, and share what I do. My goal someday is to become a published author (I've written for a local paper and small bridal magazine before.) So who knows . . . you might be able to say you read me when I was "just" a blogger! I would love it if you'd check out my blog! If you enjoy what you read, I'd be honored with a follow!
