Ho 229 V3
Jet fighterClass
The Ho 229 V3 is a rank V German jet fighter with a battle rating of 7.3 (AB/RB) and 7.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.43.
The Ho 229 V3 is the first jet in the "Zerstörer" tech tree of the Luftwaffe and currently comes before the G.91 R/3. Ironically, it goes against much of the doctrine set by the previous planes, favouring speed and manoeuvrability over armament and durability.
Something that will immediately stand out with the Ho 229 V3 is how incredibly manoeuvrable it is compared to most other jet fighters. The Ho 229 V3 can almost quite literally turn on a dime and can even in some circumstances out-turn late super props such as the P-51H if manoeuvred correctly. However, if its manoeuvrability is used to its full extent, it also causes the plane to bleed speed at a crippling rate, making a sustained turn fight impossible to win. As such, it is advised to use the Ho 229 V3 as a Boom & Zoom fighter in order to maintain airspeed and altitude. Remember that jet engines' efficiency is directly proportional to the IAS, due to the increased air intake, meaning the Ho 229 V3 will be accelerating very slowly between 0-500 km/h, but beyond will be able to outrun any propeller-driven aircraft.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Offensive armament
The Ho 229 V3 is armed with:
- 2 x 30 mm MK 103 cannons, wing-mounted (170 rpg = 340 total)
- Default: HE-T(M) - HE(M) - IT; okay against planes.
- Air targets: HE-T(M) - HE(M) - HE(M) - IT; each Minengeschoß (mine-shell) has the same HE power as a 37 mm round, wonderful against anything that flies and light ground targets.
- Armored targets: HVAP-T - I - I - AP-I; the armoured target belt is different for the Ho 229 V3, compared to all other Mk 103 armed aircraft, and is only a 1/4 as effective, due to the belt being filled with incendiary shells.
- Stealth: AP-I; useless, cannot destroy tanks/pillboxes, lacks the destructive force of HE against planes.
Usage in battles
The Horten 229 flying wing is a dogfighter, heavy-fighter, or even an attacker.
Its single wing design allows for unseen manoeuvrability despite the overweight of up to 8 tonnes, when equipped with full fuel load. This is, however, the Horten's literal downfall, the weight. Acceleration is awful, even the slowest of all jets. But the energy retention is great and climb acceptable. With that in mind rule number one of jet battle comes into play: "Do not turn fight!" The 229 will tempt anyone though. The low wing loading for a jet and even some piston planes allows for tight turning circles. Being heavy also allows to keep that velocity well in the initial turns, but with the inability to regain that speed afterwards... leads to a flaming prototype wreck thanks to an opportunistic enemy. The classic dogfight is thus only for emergency situations!
As a fighter stick with Boom & Zoom, the Ho 229's real heavyweight is of assistance in zoom climbs. However, it will also dampen the Horten's starting acceleration in a dive, making out diving an enemy difficult. The bad roll rate makes it hard to get that shoot on the target. But watch out! Don't pull too hard on the elevator to get that shot, or the Horten will lose to much speed (which cannot be regained quickly) or even worse, lose a wing.
The heavy fighter role equals the fighter one in every aspect, just that the targets are usually bombers. Stay fast, and try to get shots off in head-ons, or in slight diving turns from the bomber's six (tail), to make it difficult for the defensive gunners to hit the Ho 229.
The attacker role is a dangerous one. The Ho 229 will have to fly slow, in order to have time to properly aim, hit & evade trees. While all of these aren't difficult in the Horten 229 V3, it leaves the plane in a dangerous spot: low and without speed. Both are vital though for the sluggish 229. If in this role, be sure to have good escort fighters, as enemies can come at any time in jet combat.
Once the Horten is fully upgraded, or at least the performance parts are, one detail to notice is that the wings won't rip so easily like before, but the Ho 229 still has to turn cautiously because it is still a wooden plane after all.
The most dangerous enemy when in the Horten 229 is the F-84 Thunderjet. Since the Thunderjet gets an air spawn it already has all the energy it needs to get around the map quickly. There have been numerous occasions of players spawning in late only to be strafed by an F-84 Thunderjet on the runway. The Ho-229 is decent at accelerating once up to about 550 Km/H, past that point, the Ho 229 becomes a V2 rocket in terms of acceleration until about ~750-800 Km/H, then there will be a hard time accelerating again.
|Flight performance
|Fuselage repair
|Offensive 30 mm
|Wings repair
|New 30 mm cannons
Given the Horten's weight, the acceleration is an issue on the stock plane. Go for ammunition, engine and compressor upgrades first.
After that, any upgrade is equally good. Weapon upgrades can wait, as the Mk 103 is the best gun in-game, with high accuracy and long bursts stock. The belts also aren't a priority unless using the Ho 229 as an attacker. In that case, the "Armored targets" belt is very useful against tanks & light pillboxes.
Pros and cons
- Excellent armament, MK 103 is one of the best guns in the game
- Great ammunition supply with 170 rounds per gun
- Low wing loading, incredibly good at turning when flown at medium speeds (400-600 km/h)
- Good energy retention if not manoeuvred harshly
- Large range of different ammunition types proves suitability for fighter and attacker role
- Outruns piston-engine aircraft and all jets the Allies have except for the F-84 Thunderjet when not up-tiered
- Thin body makes it difficult for enemies to hit it when chasing it from behind
- Low stall speed of 165 km/h
- Fast when diving if flown at medium to high speeds before committing to a dive
- Super-effective air brake, can bleed the speed in a matter of seconds
- Extremely sensitive ailerons
- Initial dive-acceleration is slow
- Its armoured target belt is only comprised of 1/4th HVAP-T shells, unlike all other MK 103 equipped aircraft, who has pure HVAP-T belts
- Big target to hit when turning
- Rate of climb is worse than late World War 2 and post-war piston engine aircraft
- Rips wings when applying full elevator at above 520 km/h IAS
- Poor Rudder Authority - It yaws using independently controlled air brakes near the wingtips
- Poor Roll Rate - Significantly hinders the ability to counter defensive scissors
- Slow fire rate results in low firing density
- Troublesome to land down, particularly with joystick control
- Loses speed quickly in elevator turns
The Ho 229 had three prototypes before the facility was overrun.
- V1 was a glider to test the design.
- V2 was a down-scaled prototype fitted with the Jumo 004B.
- V3 was a testbed for the serial production, it was however not completely finished when the US Army arrived.
Originally the V3 was intended to have the Jumo 004C jets, these weren't ready though and the Me 262A's 004B was installed. The final production version would have had the ability to load bombs, switch the main armament to four Mk 108 and the pilots were to be equipped with the Draeger pressure suit (G-Suit).
In January 2015, the Smithonian Institution initiated the restoration of the V3 prototype for static display, despite its desolate state. The flying wing is currently housed in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Virginia.

It's a Party!0
November 7, 2016 by Polarn O. Pyret
We are having a party at Polarn O. Pyret to celebrate turning 40 years old! To help celebrate, we want to share two simple and fun crafts that are perfect for parties. Get your children involved and make party planning a ton of fun!
Rabbit Hats
Good to have on hand:
- Glue gun or double-sided tape
- Sheets of colored card stock
- Scissors
- Pen
- Thin elastic cord
- Needle
Do This:
- Begin by tracing the hat pattern (see PDF below). Place a piece of thin paper (such as parchment paper) over the pattern and trace the lines. Cut out your pattern, place it on a piece of coloured card stock and trace along the edges. Draw the ears as well. Remember to cut the ears at an angle at the bottom – this will help them stay on the hat better.
- Cut out the hat and ears with scissors. Make the eyes, nose and mouth with a pen.
- Roll the hat into a cone shape and affix the edge with a glue gun or double-sided tape.
- Attach the ears with the glue gun and make two small holes on each side of the hat. Stick the thin elastic cord or string through the holes and tie a knot on the inside so that the cord stays in place.
Good to have on hand:
- Pieces of cardboard
- Tissue paper
- Tape and glue stick
- Scissors
- String
- Colored paper
Do this:
- Start by cutting out two identical figures, for example a cloud. Cut a long, thin strip of cardboard and bend it along the figure so that it can be shaped more easily. This will be the edge of the cloud.
- Tape the long strip along the edge of one of the cloud sections. Make a hole at the top of the cloud with a needle or a sharp pen and stick a string through the hole so the figure can be hung up.
- Fill the cloud with sweets and confetti or anything else festive before placing the other part of the cloud on top as a lid. Tape the figure like you did in step 2.
- Cut long strips of tissue paper and make fringe in the same way as when making Christmas crackers. Layer several pieces of paper before cutting to speed up the process. Begin by glueing a strip at the bottom of the cloud and continue upwards; the cloud will look like it has fur when you are finished. Finish up by glueing on paper eyes and a mouth.

Seychelles warbler
|Seychelles warbler
|Scientific classification
A. sechellensis
|Binomial name
|Acrocephalus sechellensis
(Oustalet, 1877)
Bebrornis sechellensis[2]
The Seychelles warbler (Acrocephalus sechellensis), also known as Seychelles brush warbler,[2] is a small songbird found on five granitic and corraline islands in the Seychelles. It is a greenish-brown bird with long legs and a long slender bill. It is primarily found in forested areas on the islands. The Seychelles warbler is a rarity in that it exhibits cooperative breeding, or alloparenting; which means that the monogamous pair is assisted by nonbreeding female helpers.
A few decades ago the Seychelles warbler was on the verge of extinction, with only 26 birds surviving on Cousin Island in 1968. Due to conservation efforts there are more than 2500 of the species alive today with viable populations on Denis, Frégate, Cousine and Aride Islands, as well as Cousin Island [1].
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
The Seychelles warbler is closely related to the Rodrigues warbler (Acrocephalus rodericanus) and the two species have sometimes been placed in their own genus, Bebrornis. The two species have also been considered allied to the Malagasy genus Nesillas. A 1997 study confirmed however that the two species were part of a clade of Afrotropical warblers within Acrocephalus that also includes the Madagascan swamp warbler, the greater swamp warbler, the lesser swamp warbler and the Cape Verde warbler.[3][4][5]
The Seychelles warbler is a small, plain Acrocephalus warbler, between 13 to 14 cm (5.1–5.5 in) in length and with a wingspan of 17 cm (6.7 in).[6] It has long grey-blue legs, a long horn coloured bill, and a reddish eye. Adults show no sexual dimorphism in their plumage, the back, wings, flanks and head are greenish brown and the belly and breast are dirty white. The throat is a stronger white and there is a pale supercilium in front of the eye. Juvenile birds are darker with a more bluish eye.
The voice of the Seychelles warbler is described as rich and melodious,[6] similar to a human whistle. Its structure is simple and is composed of short song sequences delivered at a low frequency range.[7] The lack of a wide frequency range sets it apart from other species in its genus, such as the reed warbler, its song is similar to its closest relatives in Africa such as the greater swamp warbler.
The Seychelles warbler naturally occurs in dense shrubland and in tall forests of Pisonia grandis. It is almost exclusively an insectivore (99.8% of its diet is insects), and obtains 98% of its prey by gleaning small insects from the undersides of leaves. It does occasionally catch insects on the wing as well.[8] Most of the foraging occurs on Pisonia, Ficus reflexa and Morinda citrifolia.[9] Studies of the foraging behaviour found that Seychelles Warblers favour Morinda and spend more time foraging there than in other trees and shrubs, the same study found that insect abundance is highest under the leaves of that shrub.[10] The planting of Morinda on Cousin, and the associated improved foraging for the warbler, was an important part of the recovery of the species.
Cooperative breeding habits[edit]
Seychelles warblers demonstrate cooperative breeding, a reproductive system in which adult male and female helpers assist the parents in providing care and feeding the young. The helpers may also aid in territory defense, predator mobbing, nest building, and incubation (females only).[11] Breeding pairs with helpers have increased reproductive success and produced more offspring that survived per year than breeding pairs with the helpers removed.[12] Helpers only feed the young of their parents or close relatives and do not feed unrelated young. This is evidence for the kin-selected adaptation of providing food for the young. The indirect fitness benefits gained by helping close kin are greater than the direct fitness benefits gained as a breeder. This could be evidence for the kin-selected adaptation of providing food for the young.
On high-quality territories where there is more insect prey available, young birds were more likely to stay as helpers rather than moving to low-quality territories as breeders.[13] On low quality territories, having a helper is unfavorable because of increased resource competition. Females are more likely to become helpers,[14] which may explain the adaptive sex ratio bias seen in the Seychelles warblers. On high quality territories, females produce 90% daughters; on low quality territories, they produce 80% sons. Clutch sex ratio is skewed towards daughters overall.[15] When females are moved to higher quality territories, they produce two eggs in a clutch instead of a single egg, with both eggs skewed towards the production of females. This change suggests that Seychelles warblers may have pre-ovulation control of offspring sex ratio, although the exact mechanism is unknown.

Maya Angelou Recites Still I Rise
Maya Angelou, poet and author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, died today at age 86. She was also a civil rights leader, journalist, and actress. She was also one of my favorite poets, and while I am saddened by her passing, I'm thankful that all her powerful, moving words will live on. Transcript of Still I Rise is below the jump.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

A GNU make dependency would be a real problem. A dependency on a properly-working standard make would not be such a problem.
"Again" is not the correct word here -- automake, either patched or not, has *never* been able to run arbitrarily large test suites. Still, recent changes might have unintentionally reduced the maximal "testsuite size" automake is able to handle, and we'd want to fix that. How "big" is the testsuite you are referring to concretely?
I have not run into any problems when using Ralf's patch, but it apparently does not address all issues so Ralf backed it out.
My test suite is pretty slim at the moment. About 610 tests (used to be about 1200) which expand to a list of tests of at least 17903 bytes when builddir == srcdir, or 36813 bytes with one of my typical build configurations with builddir != srcdir.

Should I Become a Certified Wildlife Biologist?
Wildlife biologists collect and analyze data about wildlife behavior, biology, ecology, physiology, and genetics. They use the information to learn about various species and their habitats, and make decisions regarding management and policies.
The job of a wildlife biologist consists of traveling to remote locations for fieldwork, working long and irregular hours, and enduring extreme weather conditions. The Wildlife Society grants certification to wildlife biologists after they meet the organizations rigorous education and experience requirements. The path to certification typically includes a minimum of a bachelor's degree and at least five years of practical experience. Those with advanced degrees in the field can apply for certification.
Career Requirements
|Degree Level
|Bachelor's degree (minimum); master's and/or Ph.D. for advancement
|Degree Field
|Wildlife biology or similar related field
|Available from the Wildlife Society
|Educational experience recommended; field experience required for certification
|Key Skills
|Communications, organization, writing skills, observation, data gathering, analysis, and the use of the scientific method
|Median Salary (2015)*
|$59,680 per year (for zoologist and wildlife biologists)
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Wildlife Society, Job postings (July 2012), O*Net OnLine, Payscale.com
Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
The Wildlife Society requires applicants to hold a bachelor's degree in a subject related to wildlife biology. They have specific requirements regarding the type of courses taken in the degree program. The majority of courses should be from the areas of wildlife biology and management, botany, ecology, and zoology. Another important area is communication, which includes courses in English composition and public speaking. Courses include topics in administration, law, and policies that are specific to wildlife biology and management. These courses are found in a wildlife biology degree program.
Success Tip:
Earn experience by volunteering or interning. Interning doesn't count towards the five-year experience requirement needed for the Wildlife Society certification. Instead, an internship is a good way to show potential employers you've been exposed to a wildlife biologist's job. Professional references for future jobs can be obtained through volunteering and interning.
Step 2: Apply for Associate Wildlife Biologist Certification
The Wildlife Society offers associate certification to candidates with a bachelor's degree. Candidates who receive the associate wildlife biologist certification demonstrate professionalism and ethical behavior. The certification lasts for up to ten years after it's awarded. During this time, associate certification holders should acquire more experience and apply to become a Certified Wildlife Biologist before the associate certification expires.
Step 3: Gain Experience
The Wildlife Society defines professional experience as work accomplished in the field of wildlife biology after completing a bachelor's degree program. Experience as a fish biologist, park ranger, and even a wildlife technician isn't accepted. To obtain experience, you can volunteer or work as a wildlife biologist for a state or federal agency such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Park Service.
Another way to meet the experience requirement is to complete either a master's or Ph.D. degree program in wildlife biology or a related subject. A master's degree counts for one year of experience, a Ph.D. counts for two years. Therefore, a person who holds both degrees is granted the equivalent of three years of experience. In addition, these degrees qualify you for wildlife biology research positions.
Success Tip:
Maintain strong ethics and develop professional relationships. Whether through professional employment or advanced education, you should strive to meet the Wildlife Society's strict ethical guidelines. Those who review applications for certification at the Wildlife Society pay close attention to references regarding behavior that is deemed professional, ethical, and in support of the goals of the society and the wildlife biology community.
Step 4: Get Certified as a Certified Wildlife Biologist
After fulfilling the minimum requirements, you can apply to the Wildlife Society to become a Certified Wildlife Biologist. The process includes a detailed application review, submission of college transcripts and professional references, and paying a fee. A wildlife biologist can apply for certification renewal every five years. To qualify for renewal, Certified Wildlife Biologists must prove they uphold certain guidelines required while working with the certification. Although the requirements are specific and demanding, employers will prefer to hire applicants with certification.
Obtaining a bachelor's degree, getting certified as an Associate Wildlife Biologist, gaining experience and advanced degrees, and getting certified as a Certified Wildlife Biologist are the path to making the most of this career choice.

We are all about realizing the dream of interplanetary exploration. Effective space data communications systems are critical to that make that effort succeed—just as important as the spacecraft that deliver the instruments or humans into space.
- We hope to engage, educate and excite the general public about the prime importance of increased funding for further research and testing and increased international collaboration in the development of a complete suite of protocols for IPN. This website is a first step in that direction: providing non-specialists with easy-to-understand explanations of what IPN is and how it works.
- We also want to engage, educate and excite students about the importance of IPN research, and its relevance for both interplanetary and terrestrial data communications in constrained network environments. We are already partnering with Campus Party, the premier technology-oriented organization for young people, with almost 400,000 members globally, to promote IPN at their first Campus Party event in the US—Campus Party Silicon Valley, scheduled for June, 2014.
- We are working with DTN Subject Matter Experts to make available a testbed environment for the development of DTN applications. We will make that environment available to students globally.
- We are also working with global DTN experts to expand current SDK's to include support for the Android operating system.
- These critical networking and application infrastructure elements will enable us to conduct regional, national, or global DTN application development competitions, driving interest in DTN, and creating a critical mass of useful DTN applications and useful validation of DTN protocols.

my mom told me to update
Thanks Mom.
I've spent the last week obsessed with making room for the stuff my kids are going to get for Christmas from their grandmas.
And listening to my Pandora station. (More on why it is MY Pandora station tomorrow, maybe.) The kids and I are obsessed with it. We had to pay 99 cents this morning to keep listening because we had listened to all 40 free hours allowed for the month. In other words we listened to 40 hours in just 15 days. When I try to turn it off Clark says, "NOOOO! DON'T TURN IT OFF! You can't! It's CHRISTMAS!" and I sort of agree. Besides I was really only making a move to turn it off because I had started to worry that 40 hours of Christmas music in 15 days might be unhealthy but Clark is learning all the words to all the songs which has to be some form of education right?
If this post were more thought out I would now include a video of us singing "The Merry Christmas Polka" in the style of Dinah Shore, but it is 1am so all you get is the mental image.
I'll try to be less blog-lazy. I don't want to get in trouble with my mom again.
I found this! Now just imagine me and Clark singing instead of The Andrews Sisters.
Unless of course you prefer this version...

Ok, i just have to comment on the fact that your cleaning out and making room for all the new toys your kids will recieve from grandparents...i thought i was the only one who worried about things like that! I totally cleaned out the other day, KNOWING that people will be spoiling my son even though i said no toys... :)ReplyDelete
This totally made me smile today, thank you! (and my mom does the same thing, except she calls to tell me since she's anti-facebook...)ReplyDelete
You are so fun. I am listening to your station now. We've had the Charlie Brown Christmas CD on repeat FAR too long. It's getting dreary in here, good grief!ReplyDelete
There is no such thing as too much Christmas music. After all "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."ReplyDelete
i had to pay on the 15th, too! i thought the exact same thing, "is this much Christmas music in 15 days healthy?!"ReplyDelete
I love that your mom told you to update your blog...and that she is on Facebook! :)ReplyDelete

Better, Faster, Easier: How to Be a Whole-Life Optimist
Laura DossFrom Health magazine
Do it better
"Optimism, like gratitude, is really about shining the flashlight of your attention on whats good instead of whats not."
—M.J. Ryan, life coach and author of AdaptAbility
Be a dating optimist.
"It takes time to find The One, but dont turn it into a chore. Dragging yourself on dates makes it all negative from the start. Go only if you feel like your best self—the strong, sexy version—and dating will be way more fun."
—Amy Spencer, author of Meeting Your Half-Orange: An Utterly Upbeat Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match
Be a body optimist.
"Loving your body actually starts with your head. Appreciate yourself more by devoting time to doing what you love. And focus on the positive things youre doing: 'Im walking an hour three days a week. 'I drink plenty of water. Itll motivate you to lead a healthy lifestyle."
—Emme, plus-size supermodel, body-image advocate, and founder of EmmeStyle.com
Be a money optimist.
"Stop obsessively watching the news. Constant reminders of how bad it is out there will only make you feel worse. Just focus on your own situation, and save now for retirement. Then you can stress less because you know youve got your future covered."
—Marcia Brixey, author of The Money Therapist: A Womans Guide to Creating a Healthy Financial Life

Love Mondays (For Real!)
Bummed that the weekends over? Heres how to start the workweek on the right foot, from Dan Miller, author of No More Dreaded Mondays.
Fun up Sunday nights.
You wont hate Monday mornings if you spend Sunday nights having a good time. So go see a movie with friends, Miller advises.
Up the challenge.
One reason people dont like going to work is that theyre just plain bored. Talk to your boss about adding a new responsibility youll enjoy tackling. Or start a project you feel good about, like a recycling program at your office.
Make your own happy hour.
Scheduling something inspiring for Monday after work gives you something to look forward to, Miller says, so youll stay motivated during the day. Reserve Monday nights for yoga or your book club.

Decode his words.
Jennifer Love Hewitt—whose book, The Day I Shot Cupid, is out this month—shares how to tell if a man is a keeper: "The number-one mistake women make is not listening to what a guy tells you when youre getting to know him. We implant fairy-tale Hugh Grant words into their mouths, when what theyre actually telling you is who theyre going to be in six months.
If you had a recorder and could go back in time, youd realize that instead of saying, 'I just want to be with you all day and watch you sleep and hang out with your mom, he was saying, 'I may have a slight alcohol problem, I only want to be friends, and strippers have been my exes. Youve got to listen to what theyre saying to you!"

Perk up your home.
To brighten any room for spring, get a few cherry blossoms, cut them to about twice the height of your vase, fill the vase halfway with water, and arrange the branches inside. It also helps if your vase is vibrant, which is why we like the macBeth Collection by Margaret Josephs Petite Vase (shown here in Paradise, $35 each). Made of aluminum, this cheery vase is perfect for holding flowers or even dried lavender. (And it can double as a wine bucket in a pinch!)
Instant Joy Trick!
Play with scruffy.
Hanging with your pup or kitty increases oxytocin and dopamine (happy hormones) in your brain. It also lowers stress levels, says Bill Benda, MD, member of the board of directors of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

Preservation Dummies
I wrote this here yesterday on Facebook—>
This is something I thought about tonight…it was brought up by my favorite DC based preservation type person Meagan Baco a few weeks back…here I am at almost midnight working wrapping up some work for the Broadway Market, next I am moving on to putting together a series of ads for Corpus Christi Church…all volunteer stuff…and that is just today. Us preservationist and activist types just don't show up when a building needs to be saved…we are here at all hours of the day supporting and working on a lot of the behind the scenes things to help preserve and protect the places in Buffalo we love. All of this while trying to live and manage our lives. Can I have an amen? 🙂
Sometimes people only see us preservationist dummies when a building has gone conditional critical. Let me assure you, we are always around. You don't see us because we are the ones working heavily behind the scenes ensuring that a lot of places don't go condition critical.
I know it may seem silly to some to see people fighting to save a building ravaged by time and the elements. But come on, how can you not appreciate their efforts to save our past for the future. Without them, Buffalo would have lost a lot more of its architectural wonders.
Gun Debate White Noise
A tough thing to do is get past all the white noise out there on the gun control debate. Whether it be social media or traditional media, there is a lot it. What you have to do is look past it and find reasonable debate on the issue.
Here is a well reasoned piece by Politicsny.net's Peter Herr—>
From the post:
I do not accept that there is nothing we can do about this. We simply must look at our gun laws. I recognize there are more factors in this complex equation like violent video games, movies and books, and songs that glorify violence.
This is a hint as to the type of conversation and debate we should be having. But what happens is what usually happens when matters like gun control take center stage…it becomes a politicized mess of us versus them.
The Collaborators and Non Collaborators
One of the biggest things I have learned in doing volunteer work in Broadway-Fillmore is that collaboration is everything. Unfortunately, I have also learned is a lot people have a tough time collaborating.
What I try to do now before I take on assisting in new projects is examine the collaboration factor and try to determine if people inside of project will be able to collaborate effectively. When I develop a new project myself and seek out help, I come up with a simple collaboration strategy. Part of that it is bringing on people who I know will work well together in getting things done.
New Sports Radio Station in Buffalo
If you haven't heard it, you should check out Sports Radio 1270 – The Fan. Most of their shows are national programming from CBS Sports Radio…but it is a nice alternative to WGR on the AM dial. Simply said, it is good to have a choice.
Their one one local show features Rich Gaenzler from noon to 3 pm talking sports. Buffalo did not have any local sports radio in this time slot and it is a welcome addition to the airwaves. Gaenzler was a regular on the Buffalo Bills Radio Network when WGRF 97 Rock was the flagship station before Bills left for WGR. He brings a fresh voice to local sports talk and I enjoy listening to him

This first extended blast of frigid weather has been tough to get used to. But what can you do…it is part of life in the B-lo.

Our prediction for this Gold Cup 2015 match:
In group B all teams are still waiting for their first victory. Costa Rica tied against Jamaica while El Salvador managed to keep Canada on a 0-0 draw. The Costa Rican team will be eager to win their first 3 points in the Gold Cup. Joel Campbell was not able to show his qualities against Jamaica. It's time for him to show why Arsenal signed him last season.

Borgfest gets a nice mention in the Irish Times!
"It took many identity crises to accept that I was part- cyborg." — Louise Bruton, and her amazing, empowering prosthetic leg, Priscilla.
"I brought Priscilla on a road trip across the US last month, and she was invited to an event in Austin, Texas, by Richard MacKinnon, the co-creator of BorgFest. BorgFest celebrates human augmentation, enhancement, body modification and wearable technology. The use of the word cyborg is a little bit daunting, but when you consider that a prosthesis can open up a whole new world of possibilities, it feels less like a disability and becomes more empowering."

On a mild October evening, at the House of Lords, Baroness Ruth Lister of Burtersett, Honorary President of the SPA, hosted a reception to celebrate 50 years of the Social Policy Association. SPA members, including past members of the SPA's executive, as well as colleagues from the policy world enjoyed drinks, canapés and terrace views across London.
The evening was also an opportunity to listen to some of those at the forefront of social policy research. After being welcomed by Baroness Ruth Lister, Adrian Sinfield looked at the SPA's history in terms that were both warm and funny as well as highlighting how far the SPA has developed.
After Adrian, Kayleigh Garthwaite spoke about her research with food banks and, significantly, the way in which her research and volunteering have included those being researched. Finally, Ruth Lister reflected on the ongoing importance of social policy research in the wake of catastrophe and social problems highlighted by the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Without exception, the speakers were both moving and inspiring.
The evening's speakers also allowed people to consider social policy's history of not only delivering academic research, but also seeking to inform and effect social change. The, often personal, experiences of the speakers' use of their research to meet with policy makers and campaign for social justice was a notable common theme and one that resonated with those present.
But the evening was not only about celebrating the past 50 years, it was also an opportunity to look to the future. Amidst increasing use of food banks, growing inequalities and concerns regarding the introduction of Universal Credit, there was recognition that social policy research is now needed more than ever. After many years of social policy research, an SPA lifetime achievement award and being a former chair of the Child Poverty Action Group, Adrian continues to actively research and has just received an SPA Opportunity Grant. Kayleigh's recent book, Hunger Pains has been awarded the British Academy Peter Townsend prize, Kayleigh is also a recipient of an SPA Opportunity Grant and continues to be a tireless advocate against poverty. Ruth, also a recipient of an SPA lifetime achievement award, continues to work in the House of Lords and to ensure that the voices of poorest and most at risk of exclusion are heard by policy makers.
Leaving the auspicious parliamentary surroundings at the end of the evening, it was reassuring to know that the SPA, at 50, is still in good shape. As an Association there is a history of which we can be proud as we look to the future.


text: WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 10 -- Computer chip manufacturers could eventually save millions of dollars in downtime every year by using lasers to quickly identify and pinpoint the sources of contaminating dust and other defects, according to engineers at Purdue University who have demonstrated such concepts. Semiconductor manufacturers already use lasers to detect dust particles on expensive silicon wafers, which contain hundreds of chips. But then the manufacturing operation must be shut down while workers try to determine what the dust particles are made of and where they came from, especially when large quantities are found. The source of the dust must be eliminated before production can resume. If an electron microscope is needed to trace the dust, the contaminated wafer is essentially destroyed in the process, adding to the loss. Each 300 millimeter-wafer, roughly 12 inches in diameter, can yield 200 chips, which might eventually be worth nearly $1 million. If a new wafer rolls off the line every minute, one hour of downtime can cost tens of millions of dollars. "It would be a huge advantage if you could identify the contaminant and its source in addition to just detecting it during the in-line laser inspection process," said E. Dan Hirleman, a professor and head of the Purdue School of Mechanical Engineering. "As the features in circuits are getting smaller every 18 months or so, the size of a killer defect is getting smaller and smaller. One way to rapidly detect and identify smaller defects is to use laser beams of shorter wavelengths, such as in the deep ultraviolet range." The same lasers used to detect dust might also be used to identify the particles and begin tracing the contamination source within seconds. Because circuits in new computer chips are only slightly wider than the particles, the contaminants are large enough to ruin or short-circuit the tiny "wires" in the chips. New chips scheduled to debut in 2006 will contain circuit features only 70 nanometers wide -- so tiny that they will be ruined by dust particles as small as 30 nanometers, which is only a few hundred atoms across, or roughly 1/3,000 the width of a human hair. Although the wafers are produced in clean environments that are isolated from the outside world, all dust cannot be eliminated. "This nanodust could be any number of things, like particles of tungsten, silicon or photoresist material used in the manufacturing process," Hirleman said. "It could be something that flaked off from the side of the walls of the reaction chamber. A big challenge will be to develop online laser-based material identification, which allows you to start the detective process in seconds." The Purdue researchers have developed mathematical models that reveal a dust particle's fingerprint hidden in the precise way in which it "scatters" laser light. The laser reflects off the silicon wafer's near-perfect mirror surface, but the light does not reflect well from dust particles. Some of the light is said to be scattered as it bounces off in different directions after hitting a dust particle. Different types of particles have specific scattering signatures, which can be modeled mathematically, creating fingerprints that can help identify certain types of particles. Hirleman and doctoral student Haiping Zhang presented a research paper detailing the findings in March at the conference Process Characterization and Diagnostics in IC Manufacturing in Santa Clara, Calif. The conference, the first of its kind, was sponsored by the Society for Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers. "A new conference was needed because of the growth in the nanotechnology field and the special needs for measurement and sensor technologies," Hirleman said. Data from the models might be used by industry to design new types of instruments that reduce downtime. Future technologies might even use lasers to remove contamination, a sort of "laser dry-cleaning" system that would shake off the particle, Hirleman said. Such a dry-cleaning technique would be needed because wet-cleaning methods often deposit more particles than they remove, actually increasing the contamination. The models developed at Purdue also will be important for designing such instruments. The research engineers precisely measure how laser light bounces off dust using a new instrument called a scatterometer. Then they use those data to validate complex mathematical modeling software that identifies a particle's composition based on its light-scattering fingerprint. Purdue researchers also are developing a new, more precision deep ultraviolet scatterometer that can detect smaller particles, which is essential to keep up with the constantly shrinking dimensions of computer chip circuitry. The work is funded by a group of government agencies and companies known as the Consortium for Metrology of Semiconductor Nanodefects and by the Semiconductor Research Corp.

CARLSBAD — With it's primary storefront empty for five years, the 33-year-old La Costa Towne Center at the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue is at last getting a revamp.
The owner of the property gained approval to demolish two commercial structures in the shopping center and replace them with buildings that are half retail and half apartments from Carlsbad's Planning Commission on April 16.
Planning Commissioners praised the owners for coming forward with plans to redevelop the dated shopping center that they said currently lacks signage, design, and a main tenant.
"(La Costa Towne Center is) just this big long white wall. You have no idea what's inside, it's not inviting," said Planning Commissioner Hap L'Heureux. "This center has been long overdue."
Commissioner Aurthur Neil Black called the little mall an eyesore.
La Costa Towne Center was originally approved by the city in 1979. Vons anchored the 15-acre shopping center until the grocery store closed in 2008 and was never replaced.
Representatives for the owner, Excel GIV, were not shy about the condition of the shopping center.
Excel's William Stone said, "This proposed project that is before the planning commission is the redevelopment of a 33-year-old shopping center that is obsolete."
Referring to the Vons building he said, "That building is so bad, if any of the termites quit holding hands it would probably come down."
While the current tenants, including a Jazzercise and massage parlors, are surviving, they are not thriving, he explained.
Stone said that the new development will be a smart-growth project where people can live, work, and play in the same location.
The new retail spaces have been designed with specialty grocery stores and coffee shops in mind.
Excel's staff explained that the center will be more aesthetically pleasing and inviting to shoppers by knocking down one commercial building along El Camino Real and locating its replacement along the east side of the shopping center.
Residents from adjacent neighborhoods spoke at the meeting to express concerns about potential noise and traffic increases from the new residences and businesses.
"I'm dying for a little grocery store and coffee shop," said one resident, Julie Marshall. But she explained that there is already a lot of noise generated from the current shopping center from landscapers, street cleaners, and delivery trucks at all hours of the day and night.
Planning commissioners urged the property owners and developers to consider having a live-in manager for the apartment buildings who can handle noise complaints promptly and working more with the existing businesses to prevent late night deliveries.
Commissioners also brought the project to the attention of the city's traffic engineer for consideration of traffic mitigation efforts, including restriping El Camino Real.
But otherwise, all parties expressed their excitement about the shopping center to come.
"I love the open areas that they are creating and the little community areas that they are creating," said Commissioner Victoria Scully.

I went for a walk this afternoon. After driving into this sleeping little town and checking out the sights, I set my mind on a hilly outcrop and tried to figure out the best way to get there. I drove to the closest or rather the safest place I would leave my car and set out, determined.
You know when you're shoe shopping, or fishing reel shopping or car browsing and all of a sudden you see a pair of shoes that practically have your name written all over them. You exclaim to your shopping partner – "I have to have these". This was like that for me and the hill. Internally, I exclaimed – "I have to go there".
Thankfully nearby I saw a path. A formal council made path that looked like it could end up in the direction of my hill. Of course, it was now my hill. I had already become possessive. Having time up my sleeve and the makings of adventure in my heart, I set off down the path.
First roadblock. Fork in the road. I took the road less traveled. Thought not my natural disposition, it is what Robert Frost would do after all. I started to run and got excited because the path felt right. Robert Frost however does not always know what's what and this path went almost nowhere. I mean, it technically led to the beach, if you felt like bush bashing to get there. While the beach is all well and good, my hill, that was my destination. I turned around surprisingly undeterred and chose the second path. It felt mildly better and was definitely worth a shot. Grateful for the almost paved pathway, I carried on.
I was tempted to be disappointed when this path also just led to the beach. My hill was surrounded by beaches which although gave it its key reason for its charm, it made access difficult, or at least deceptive. Content to wander on the nearly deserted beach, I walked in the direction of my hill. I kept walking and watched the few surfers who were keen enough to brave the near winter chill.
To my great delight I realised upon further inspection the rocks that I thought were my barrier to the hill, became my literal stepping stone to the hill. Isn't that often the way? What was the once barrier became the step to freedom, if you only persevered.
I greeted the man walking down the rocks with his two dogs with a cheery 'hello' and rolled up my jeans, ditched my jacket and ran. Easily jumping across smooth well worn rocks and up the already worn pathway of the grass that had been trampled down by the many footsteps that had scaled this hill before me. Out of breath and struck by how completely surrounded I was by beauty. I thought to myself, 'I'm so glad I came here'.
This whole process, which really only took about 20 minutes in total, threw my life onto the chopping block. Or the examination room, or the operating table. Whatever is the best way to describe the way I take regular life occurrences and use them to completely deconstruct my life.
I thought about how perhaps despite bravado and courage, I am not, at heart, a risk taker. I'm not sure if that completely bothers me except to say that I think perhaps trail blazers are risk takers. And I do want to be a trail blazer.
My quest for the hill threw into question whether or not, if a path had not already existed, would I be sitting here having not climbed that hill. How many setbacks would it have taken me before I gave up. One more, maybe two more wrong paths? How desperately did I want to sit atop that hill. Would my drive force me to push doubt and fear aside and blaze a new path? I don't know if it would.
Once when I was a kid, I tried to make a path. We lived on acreage and our grass had grown rather long. One day when I was playing outside in the long grass as only a child would do (hello! snakes!) I had this random idea to try and make a path, an obvious path from one place to the next. Perhaps it was a path from the gate to tree swing I can't really remember except that I traipsed and stomped back and forth over the same place, over and over, attempting to blaze a trail. It was hard, and I don't think it really worked.
I think about that and I think about how many people fearless people and over how long it took to create the path I walked today. I'm so grateful for trailblazers. I'd like to think that today I played my part in keeping that path well worn, so that others could follow behind me another day.
I'm so grateful for men and women who decided to make a stand for something that I now freely walk in. The abolition of slavery, rights for women, freedom of speech. Somehow, these people, one after the after, overcame fear and doubt to blaze a trail, for me. By exercising my freedom, I keep that path well worn, so that we never go backwards.
I'm grateful, but I want more.
Part of me wished that it was me who first discovered that hill. That it really was my hill. And part of me is afraid. Afraid of what I would encounter of my path, of failing. Sometimes it's easier to go nowhere at all then to go and have to return defeated.
Part of me wants to make a stand for something that's never been done before. To make my mark. And part of me is afraid. Afraid of what I'll encounter on my trail, of failing, that I would burn out rather than blaze.
God, snuff out the fear and let the part that yearns for more, grow into a fiery flame.
I want to blaze a trail.

A new senseable city lab project i worked on is now exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. BackTalk is in many ways a follow up project on Trash | Track, this time focusing on obsolete electronics, disposed as e-waste or shipped as donated as refurbished computers to developing countries. All of these devices still capable of recording their location and surroundings. The initial inspiration was an incident I read about involving a lost camera, scuba diving and a sea turtle. The project focuses on the reasons why obsolete electronics move across the globe and conveys the hybrid strategies how to deal with them.

I was young. I don't recall the precise age. I do remember carefully inserting my first real adult piece of identification in my otherwise empty wallet. It was a San Francisco library card.
As I visited the white granite covered, Beaux Arts style San Francisco public library last weekend, the memory came racing back. I am 62 now, and renewed my library card.
Above the library card registration desk, a soaring skylight and central atrium floods the reading areas with natural light. Spiraling staircases and pedestrian bridges connect floors. A towering art installation by artist Nayland Blake lights up the names of more than a hundred authors, reminding us that art and literature are friends.
All around you, swarming learners paw through the books, magazines, newspapers and children's literature, pepper the librarians with questions, use the free computers, converse in languages from all corners of the world and enjoy the quiet. Judged by dress and demeanor, people of seemingly every income class are knowledge-seekers. It is not surprising to learn that 2 million consumers annually use the main branch library.
A library is a weird and wonderful public institution. Consider this:
Paid for by taxpayers to give away knowledge in the form of printed (mostly) materials, it competes directly with commercial bookstores. Even the used books on offer by the library's charitable fundraising unit undercut the tax-generating, rent-paying secondhand bookstores for which S.F. is renowned. No one complains.
For one dollar a citizen of San Francisco can purchase the local newspaper from a news shop directly across from the main library. More frugally, the same citizen, even without a library card, can read thousands of newspapers from around the country and around the world for free. No one even thinks to mention it.
Locate two bookstores in a shopping mall and it is applauded as an example of the competitive marketplace at work. One presumes greater merchandise selection, better service, lower prices, etc. Locate two public libraries near each other, and howls about government waste would be on the six o'clock news. The inconsistency is accepted.
In the form of relatively cheap computers, cell phones, television and radio, the internet, Google searches, Wikipedia and a myriad of other tools and e-devices, the depth and breadth of human information seems everywhere. In juxtaposition, libraries remain temples of public learning, sacred places for the storage and sharing of Humankind's accumulated knowledge and wisdom... ideas and dreams. The anachronism is remarked on, then ignored.
From Mexico to Malaysia, from the United States to the United Arab Emirates, a global natural experiment is underway. Social activists, public policy thinkers and business leaders of conscience are examining how to combine the innovation and spirit of the competitive marketplace with the more important social values of community solidarity.
For a practical solution, look to the libraries where pragmatic pluralism has achieved proof of concept. If you haven't been to the S.F. public library yet, it is an appealing demonstration of public institutions operating side-by-side with private sector social entrepreneurs. Complementary or competitive? Who cares? We need both.


text: MONTREAL, Dec. 19 -- The Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATAAlliance) and its Mexican counterpart, the National Electronics, Computer and Telecommunications Industries Chamber (CANIETI), have adopted a global cooperation agreement to contribute to the development of their high-tech industries by exchanging services, joint projects, trade opportunities and human resources expertise. "Canada and Mexico have a lot in common", said Rogelio Garza Garza, executive director of CANIETI. "High-tech industries need to address the current issues posed by the Information Technologies downturn, and to adapt to the post 9-11 environment. That is why we think that joining forces with CATA will contribute significantly to the development of both of our national IT industries and markets." "Our first step will be to identify a major joint pilot project to drive the global cooperation agreement forward," said Jean-Guy Rens, executive director of CATAAlliance.

Climate Progress has a great summary out today on Food Chain Reaction and its findings . For the full article, visit http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/04/13/3768953/food-crisis-game/
Last year, powerful global interests played a game with food in Washington, D.C.
The Food Chain Reaction presented policymakers, agricultural and environmental experts, and business leaders from India, Europe, China, the United States, Brazil, and Africa, with a scenario in the near future where pressure mounted on the global food system. The two-day gaming scenario was organized by the World Wildlife Fund and the Center for American Progress, as well as private-sector food giants Cargill, CNA, and Mars.
The participants represented major food producers and consumers from the years 2020 to 2030, as the game's designers slowly upped the ante with crisis after crisis. Drought in North America's breadbasket. El Niño and La Niña events cutting yields in India and Australia. Skyrocketing commodity prices. Repeat flooding in Bangladesh. Social unrest. Coups. They were asked to design security, agriculture, climate, and foreign policy in response.
What did they learn?

Before I became a parent, I swore that if I had kids, they would NEVER cause a ruckus in a restaurant. (Yeah… I know… I was one of THOSE people, and all of us parents are rolling their eyes at my naivety.)
I figured that somehow, I would be able to control my kids and they'd behave perfectly when out in public, never causing a scene and never drawing negative attention to us.
Yeah, right.
I also wanted to be the kind of parent who continued to go out and do things, rather than let parenthood make them never want to leave the house.
Now, I'm a parent of a lively, busy toddler boy. He's sweet but he's also feisty, and he's not afraid to make his wishes known. Now, I understand not only what being on the other side of those restaurant meltdowns is like, but I get the appeal sometimes, of not wanting to leave the house.
In all sincerity though, I do enjoy going out to eat at restaurants, and I do want to expose Raleigh to a variety of places and experiences. Even though it's often far from easy, it's important to me to put in the effort to make these things happen.
Mom Hacks for Taking a Baby to a Restaurant
I've found that eating out at a restaurant with a baby is often a multiple phase event. Here are my tips for how to survive a restaurant meal with a baby:
Phase 1: You're at a new place, and you have an easy-going baby!
Usually, the first part is the easiest. My son Raleigh is interested in the new location, wants to look at things on the table, and is usually pretty hungry too.
Tip 1 – Put in your order as fast as you can.
Tip 2 – Bring snacks while you wait for food. I carry a container of Cheerios in my diaper bag, and I often have granola bars or crackers for Raleigh too. I try to kill time between ordering and when the food comes with some snacks and water.
Tip 3 – Offer crayons if they're interested in that, books (one at a time) and other small toys from your diaper bag. If things are hitting the fan, I'm not ashamed to pull out an iPhone if needed and play a kid friendly video in exchange for some peace and quiet!
Phase 2 : Baby's a little bit antsy, and getting hungry.
Tip 4 – Feed them and eat too!
Phase 3: Baby's over it, and can't be distracted any longer.
This is usually a little later in the meal, but it can happen at any point. It often happens after the meal is over, while you're waiting to pay the bill and settle up. Just like with ordering fast, it is helpful to pay quickly too.
Tip 5 – Get up and walk around with them if they're really struggling. Sometimes, a change of scenery is all they need to get a second wind to make it to the end of your meal.
Tip 6 – (This one is optional.) We like to pick up the bits of food that are inevitably strewn across the floor around the high chair, and help gather everything into the middle of the table. It helps us feel a little less embarrassed about the havoc we've just wrecked on the restaurant! The last time I did this, I had two different serves/managers stop me and say "Thank You." I'm sure they appreciate the help, especially during really busy meal times.
Phase 4 – Get outta there! You did it!
Tip 7 – This one is the most important – even though it's hard, DO IT ANYWAY!
It's tempting to want to wait until your kids are "older and better behaved" before you taking a baby to a restaurant.
But here's the truth: even older kids act up. And your child will never learn how to act in public if they're never given the chance to BE in public.
Besides, it's only the naive people who don't have kids who pass judgement. Anyone who has kids is going to be giving you sympathetic looks and invisible fist bumps, sending vibes your way that say, "YOU GOT THIS! I've been there."
By being prepared, and anticipating the different phases of a restaurant meal, you can help ward off any major catastrophes and hopefully enjoy your meal out at the restaurant!

I was in DC last weekend. LATER, I will tell you the story about how I got lost at 8:00 p.m. and learned that ladies of the night need compliments too.
So, anyway, I ran across what seemed like 4,000 sculptures. I always run across that many sculptures in DC. YAY for public art!!
I don't know who created this or what it is. I'm calling it how I see it: "These Piggish Rams in Washington, D.C." until I learn differently.
It is across the street from the Women in the Arts Museum on New York Avenue.
I keep spinning wheels with Google searches trying to figure this out. Niki de Saint Phalle keeps coming up. I can see why. I mean sometimes she does create strange animals with patterns on them. See this evidence. And she has been part of the New York Avenue Sculpture Project. See this evidence. Also, what do you mean "Are they art?" Excuse you, WaPo. Click bait much? You already knew that was art.
I am about to send a nice email to the National Museum of Women in the Arts to ask them what they know about this. However, I did decide to go ahead and publish this post since art museums are sadly understaffed and notoriously slow at responding to email. Bless it. Can we fund the arts please? I'm looking at you, Feds.
|Look at that smile. If anyone else put teeth like that on a work of art, we'd all be sprinkling our holy water all over the place. This gal is pulling the triangle teeth thing off with grace. If you got it, flaunt it!
|Look at this stinkin' cute tail. I mean, I just want to pull it.
Oh, and no, I didn't see any kind of labeling near the sculpture. Of course I looked for that.
Now, if you know something, spill it! Tell me all about it. I am ready to solve this mystery!

Second is one I wanted to buy, if I had the income. Painted by Ellen Fountain www.FountainStudio.com , it features two of my favorite subjects these days: daisies/black-eyed Susans and a black/gray cat. Had I the talent she does, which I obviously do not, this could be Charlie A. Gray admiring a vase of flowers in our home.
Whether as a writer for SAN or not, I will be visiting this charming gallery more often. It is staffed by artist-volunteers who were so helpful and willing to talk with us, answer questions and take photos. The talent displayed in the gallery and the gallery itself earn this week's Community Renaissance "shout out" for another Tucson BrightSpot!
