Great Wedge
"These wedges are amazing! They are absolutely the cutest shoes. They are pretty high, which is not bad, but the wooden heel is heavy. I don't find that to be a bad thing, but they were certainly heavier than I thought. If you check these out, buy these shoes!"

"These are very stylish sandals. They give you the height you want from a wedge, but are not as high a pitch. They are a tab bit heavy, but that is expected with wedge sandals. Can't wait to wear them!"

This is what I do.
1. Pump up kite leading edge facing water far enough from shoreline to walk out lines.
2. Walk out lines confirm no tangles.
3. Hook in Chicken loop and safety leash
4. Walk up middle of lines
5. Grab center of kite and lift letting wind tips drag.
6. Walk back to board at shoreline (keep bar under elbow)
7. Pick up board with free hand and walk out to a safe distance. (make sure nothing will snag lines)
8. Release kite with leading edge facing you and splash water onto canopy
9. Quickly walk away from kite to minimize time there is slack in lines
10. Let go of board and launch kite**

The millions of photographs in the Museum's collections compose a vast mosaic of the nation's history. Photographs accompany most artifact collections. Thousands of images document engineering projects, for example, and more record the steel, petroleum, and railroad industries.
Some 150,000 images capture the history, art, and science of photography. Nineteenth-century photography, from its initial development by W. H. F. Talbot and Louis Daguerre, is especially well represented and includes cased images, paper photographs, and apparatus. Glass stereographs and news-service negatives by the Underwood & Underwood firm document life in America between the 1890s and the 1930s. The history of amateur photography and photojournalism are preserved here, along with the work of 20th-century masters such as Richard Avedon and Edward Weston. Thousands of cameras and other equipment represent the technical and business side of the field.
"Photography - Overview" showing 2 items.
Chang-Yu-Sing, the Chinese Giant
- Description (Brief)
- Albumen cabinet card of a very tall man wearing a long Chinese robe. The card is captioned "Chang-Yu-Sing, The Chinese Giant / Born at Pekin, 1847, Height over 8 feet, Weight 364 lbs / A. Bogardus & Co. Photo., 872 Broadway, cor. 18th St. N. Y." The man's cheeks and a plant in the photograph are tinted. The back of the cabinet card bears marks in Chinese written with a calligraphy pen.
- Description
- The Circus Collection includes the Photographic History Collection's object holdings related to the history of circus from the end of the nineteenth to the turn of the twenty-first century. For the purpose of this finding aid, circus is defined as any activity relating to the staging and viewing of circus, sideshow, or "freak show" performances. The collection is primarily composed of thirty cabinet print and thirteen carte-de-visite photographs of performers in circus "freak shows." Some of these prints are marked with the identities of the individuals depicted, including Chang and Eng, Siamese twins employed by the Barnum & Bailey circus and Tom Thumb, a famous performer with dwarfism. In a number of the photographs, the people who performed for the circus are accompanied by their families, or "normal" individuals to emphasize the distinctiveness of the performer. The collection also includes a photo album with twenty-three photographs of circus performers. These pictures show "freak show" performers, acrobats, and other individuals who may have performed in circus shows.
- The collection also includes several books. In the handmade book, Record of an Idle Summer, Florence Albrecht details her summer activities and shares reflections on her time on the Jersey Shore in 1906. In the chapter "May," the author describes the circus coming to town, including several photographs of circus tents, elephants, and a parade down the main street of the town. P.T. Barnum's autobiography Struggles and Triumphs also exists in the Photographic History Collection. In the book, Barnum recounts his life's endeavors, including his New York American Museum and eponymous circus. While there are no photographs in the book, there are a number of illustrations, including a portrait of P.T. Barnum based on G. K. Warren's photograph, pictures of his museum and various aspects of his traveling show. There is a collection of gelatin silver photographs made in 1972 by Leslie Sussmann and Sally Bordwell documenting carnivals across the American South.

|Support at least four research projects to identify mechanisms of fever, metabolic and/or immune system interactions with the central nervous system that may influence ASD during prenatal-postnatal life by 2010 (Fever studies to be started by 2012).

18 projects
30 projects

25 projects
26 projects
|2.S.A. Funding: The recommended budget for this objective was met.
Progress: Many projects were funded in this area (approximately 20-30 per year), but the field is still developing, and emphasis on this objective should continue in the future. Scientific advances have been made in linking maternal innate immune function and immune-system challenge to aspects of ASD. Methodological advances in the field include the development of animal models for study of the role of the immune system in ASD and PET ligands for imaging microglial activation.
Remaining Gaps, Needs and Opportunities: There is a need for a well-designed, multi-site clinical study of clinical effects of fever and to develop standard measures of fever and behavioral/cognitive outcomes. Questions about fever could be integrated into funded epidemiological studies. There is also interest in further work on metabolic and mitochondrial issues, but in order for this work to be done, there is a need for validation and standardization of measures for assessment of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function. More guidance is needed on the key questions for this field to answer â a workshop to define these methodologies may be helpful. One of the key questions is to determine whether it is the body temperature associated with fever or some consequence of immune activation and production of the febrile state that leads to amelioration of cognitive function.

My Fabulous Disease
Five Things About HIV They're Not Telling You
Photo credit: National Advisory Committee on AIDS (NACAIDS)
We refer to Swiss experts who suggest people with HIV with undetectable viral loads may be non-infectious. We discuss an infamous 1987 Australian commercial called "The Grim Reaper," and refer to research that concludes that fear-based messages do not change long-term behavior.
You might enjoy comparing the difference between the NYC "It's Never Just HIV" spot (in all its frightful foreboding) to the life-affirming Japanese campaign "Little Taiko Boy," which presents sexuality in a straightforward manner (complete with music and sexy-time lyrics!).
Does anything in our talk surprise (or offend) you? Did you know HIV negative people could take a drug regimen immediately after exposure (sexual and otherwise) and greatly reduce the risk of becoming infected? Do you agree that stigma against those living with HIV may be greater now than ever before?
This is an important community discussion, and I hope you will consider sharing this with friends and colleagues. I'm always up for constructive debate or dissent.
Meanwhile, my friends, please be well.

Hallo! Happy Pre-Willis Birthday Day!!!! This mornings post is just a quick LoTD that I fell in love with whilst sorting my inventory (amazeballs what you can find) and just a shout out to the C-Star Platinum Group 31 Days of Christmas giveaway!
>I remember when I tp'd to Ribbon to pick up a rabbit hoodie and I saw this shirt and was like AJSDFLASDJLFASJDF must have!!!! I forgot I had it! It's a bit quirky and fun, like me :D. I do love a good comfy sweater in either life, so this was a perfect purchase. I decided to pair it with one of my older Wasabi Pills hair, but still a gorgeous one, the spikes detract a bit from the cute.. or do they?! Also worn are a pair of my IKON Eternal Eyes and a special JeSyLiLo Lazy Sunday skin with a cute little reddish tint to the nose! She has ruby red lips too, but you can't see those, soz. I feel so cute in this, I hope I look it too!
C-Star is one of those stores that is a bit like Marmite, you either like it, or you don't. I admit I have been on the fence, I like some, then others I am a bit eeeehhh about, but they have some superb deal and each month they release a special zodiac skin in gacha form with about 75+ tones that you can play for starting at just a low low $L10 a play! So if you are into fantasy skins or like me you just like to hoard skins, this store is probably for you! C-Star has a platinum group and it's $L1k to join, but I decided to do it this morning because I wanted to see what VIP benefits there were, and of course I was immediately greeted with a wall of free VIP skins! The Un!co Skins are being released for a 31 Days of Christmas Countdown, in a new tone every day, with new eyes, lashes, nails and Unicorn horn. Here are just 12 of them:
They might not be your thing, I am not too keen on the copper/chocolate shades and yes, they are supposed to be a fantasy type skin, not a perfect dark tone before anyone starts going WHAT? But the lighter, ethereal type skins are just beautiful! Even if you don't want to join the VIP group (which I believe is VERY kind to it's patrons) you can always play the midnight mania or have a go on the gacha. C-Star also buys back any spare gacha skins from you if you want, or you can rent a small spot in the area and sell them, there are some rare tones out there and I have seen some skins sell for over $L2k! They fully endorse this, so that's nice too.

Like but could love....
"Unique style. Bought these in black thinking they would be great with black skinnys or leggings. Love the design but they are not super comfortable.... Its the fake material and unsupportive sole. Thinking these will most definitely need some cushion inserts and they will work. True to size. 7.5 typically and that size worked fine. If these were made with real suede or leather I would wear them all the time!"

Extremely stiff and poor quality
"I ordered the shoes in both black and red and the colors are beautiful. When I tried them on, the sizing is just as the review says: slightly short and slightly wide - which is perfect for my feet.As far as comfort goes, it's fitting around my foot, but the entire shoe feels like it's made of cardboard. I'm sure it'll soften up after a few wears, but that makes me question the quality once it's broken-in. It feels as though it'll scrape my ankles just from walking around the block.The sole is made of some fuzzy velvet/felt, but I'm afraid to have the shoes touch rain or water. I will be returning both pairs tomorrow."

Cute but not comfy
"These shoes were adorable, but very uncomfortable. They pulled on the front of my ankle in an odd way and generally just did not fit my feet well. I don't think it was due to the size, just the fit of the shoe."

By MARK H. WILLIAMSCastle Dale
There was so much misinformation and so many misleading statements in Commissioner Randy Johnson's long interview in the July 9 edition of the Emery County Progress that I hardly know where to begin in trying to straighten them out. Let me just pick out a few of the most important ones and give readers the straight story.
The most fundamental and important thing that needs to be corrected is what could happen to this monument in the future under a different and more liberal and green president. Commissioner Johnson and other monument supporters talk a lot about all the safeguards for our rights that are supposedly going to be built into his monument proposal. He claims that it will, in effect, "do the same basic thing that we tried to do with the national conservation area that Congress failed to pass."
He goes on to make the incredible claim that, in the future, "Even if we have an environmental president, changing what the previous president did is not going to happen. Maybe there might be a different focus by the BLM on where it's going and our member on the management team would have input on that."
How can he guarantee that? If he can't back up that assertion with some pretty persuasive evidence, then we have no protections at all. Zero. Zip. Nada. The burden of proof is on him, because the facts and history suggest otherwise. The facts are that he cannot back it up because there is no limitation on what future presidents can do to change what President Bush might do in his proclamation.
Don't think it can't happen? Craters of the Moon National Monument offers some good lessons in this respect. This 54,000 acre monument was established in 1926. Over the next 74 years, its boundaries were adjusted four times by presidential proclamations. Then in 2000, just a couple of days after the presidential elections, Clinton issued a new proclamation expanding the boundaries by 661,000 acres. With just the stroke of a pen he expanded it more than 12 times.
Commissioner Johnson, what is there to prevent a future president from adding hundreds of thousands of acres to the monument you are proposing? Give us any persuasive evidence you have.
The problem is even worse than simply expanding the size. Each time Craters of the Moon was expanded, it was done by a new proclamation, which, legally, could have superseded all of the ones issued by previous presidents. That means a future president could totally eliminate the management team on which Commissioner Johnson pins so much faith. What would prevent him from doing that, Commissioner? And give us specifics.
Again, President Clinton's expansion of Craters of the Moon gives us an example of the problem. In his proclamation, Clinton gave the Park Service joint jurisdiction over the lands added to the monument, land that had been managed by the BLM. What would prevent a new proclamation from assigning joint or complete administration of the San Rafael Monument to the Park Service? If you think there are problems dealing with the BLM, just talk to folks who have to deal with the Park Service, an agency that is totally hostile to multiple use management, and it will make you feel a little better. What would stop a future president from turning management over to the Park Service. Again, Commissioner Johnson, please be specific.
Part of the problem Clinton created by giving the Park Service joint control of the new land added at Craters of the Moon involved hunting. The Park Service is hostile to hunting, one of the multiple uses we now enjoy on the Swell, and does not allow hunting on lands it administers unless Congress specifically designates it as a use. As a result of Clinton's actions, Congress is being forced to enact legislation, H. R. 601, to protect hunting on the 661,000 acres Clinton added. This bill has passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate in the next few weeks. Can Commissioner Johnson guarantee that a future congress would clean up any problems a green president would create in expanding a San Rafael Monument? Let's see it.
The commissioner argues that creation of a monument would result in more local control of the San Rafael and asserts that we have no control now. He is wrong again. We have the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, which among other things, requires that the lands in the Swell be generally managed for multiple uses. One other element of control FLPMA gives us is that it requires in Section 202 that these federal management plans comply with local and state management plans and goals to the maximum extent possible. That's in law, not something that can be erased at the whim of some future green president as in the case with a presidentially-designated monument.
Given this total lack of control over what might happen under a future green and liberal president, people with much more experience and understanding than Commissioner Johnson, or anyone else in county government, are amazed and appalled that anyone who professes to support access and multiple use management would advocate a presidentially-designated monument. The commissioner's apparent lack of understanding of the leverage the county could have through FLPMA, as well as not realizing the problems of his proposed monument, may go a long way towards explaining why the county has had so many problems dealing with the BLM on these lands issues.
I must add here, as we will at every opportunity until the election, that as Congressman Cannon has repeatedly pointed out, what the commissioner, the governor and all those supporting a monument of anywhere near 600,000 acres are asking the president to designate is every bit as illegal as what Clinton did in declaring the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The Antiquities Act only allows presidents to reserve land as part of a national monument which "in all cases shall be the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the (historic and scientific) objects to be protected."
Those advocating that President Bush break the law do something far more damaging than undermine the rule of law and respect for the law that I and most Americans think is vital, and which is clearly our only protection from government excesses. They surrender the moral high ground that might make a future Congress sympathetic to helping overturn any disasters created by a future green and liberal president. Since the monument advocates will have become, in effect, willing and knowing accomplices in an illegal act, Congress is most likely to say, "you made your bed asking for a presidentially-declared monument, now lie in it!" Tell us, Commissioner Johnson, why that is not a likely scenario and again please be specific.
Another point that must be clarified is the effect creating the monument will have on the wilderness fight. Commissioner Johnson says, "We think the best way to fight the environmentalists is to come with better ideas: something besides wilderness." Are the enviros going to quit fighting for their wilderness bill, commissioner? Give us some evidence. In the last Congress, they had 168 co-sponsors of their wilderness bill in the House, just 50 votes short of having absolute majority. Which of those co-sponsors will not keep con-sponsoring that bill if a monument is designated?
When the commissioner can get a signed agreement that, if the monument he advocates is designated, the 200 groups in the Utah Wilderness Coalition will cut out of their bill the areas they are demanding in the Swell, then maybe it makes sense to talk about the monument as an alternative to wilderness. Until then, to talk about the monument being a way to deal with the wilderness problem is, to be charitable, wishful thinking at best.
Oh, and by the way, there are wilderness areas designated with monuments. To take the same example, of the original 54,000 acre Craters of the Moon Monument, 43,000 were designated wilderness.
Commissioner Johnson makes another statement which I find so incredible that I am almost sure it must be a misquote. Talking about roads and access, he said, "The Bureau of Land Management will define what is open with or without a monument." They darn well won't if the roads in question are our RS 2477 roads and- and this is a big and- if we have county commissioners who will fight for our roads. The BLM has no - repeat, no authority to close an RS 2477 road. I won't go into detail why, but I do call on the commissioner to clarify immediately if this is his position on roads or he was misquoted. If he wasn't, then we need to begin a whole new education process.
These are only some of the problems with Commissioner Johnson's statements in the article. His tone, the misinformation and apparent lack of understanding of even basic aspects of law and the county's rights makes me wonder if the county can be trusted to give the voters the facts as he says he wants to do. I am particularly concerned about the 'voter information booklet' that the commissioner says the county will send to all voters before the election. Based on Commissioner Johnson's statements, it is clear that we cannot trust the county to accurately or adequately represent the view and concerns of those of us who understand this monument proposal could be a bad, bad idea.
That's why I will be formally requesting that we be allowed to write the part of that booklet that educates voters about the problems with the monument. If the commission will not agree to that, then the voters need to know their reasoning in detail. I plan to make a formal request to let us do our side of the booklet in the next few days.
I guess the bottom line for me is that it is a shame that the Commission and the Governor cooked up this monument idea in secret and then sprang it on us without time to fully understand it, much less discuss it, before it was sent to Washington. We should have had extensive discussions on the topic here in the county before others got involved.
Commissioner Johnson and the other commissioners clearly feel that they did not have the responsibility as elected officials to do us this courtesy before the proposal went to Salt Lake, much less to Washington. But they should have at least done it as good neighbors.

"These shoes are cute and comfy! I love the polka dots and the bow - very fun accents. They are so molded to your foot that you can even ear these during the winter without getting cold because they keep your feet so warm! I will definitely be wearing these often:)"

I thought it would be perfect
"Of course these LOOK comfy & should be...they're FLATS. & very pretty...all the compliments I get every time I wear them are great but it just reminds me how looks are so deceiving.The part around the back of the ankle which is supposed to be stretchy is SO UNCOMFORTABLE from day 1 just at church! I keep pulling at it to adjust it 'cause it buries tightly into my ankle so bad. That's the negative. The positive is that the front is the only comfortable part with somewhat wide fit. I wish I could cut the backing off to make into something else it would be great. So disappointed. The design could be so much better :-("

PERFECT for work!
"I bought these to dress up my jeans for my business casual office and I LOVE them! I got so many compliments the first day I wore them. The back is elastic which by 5:00 was digging into the back of my heel but not bad enough to hurt (i just noticed it). The tan dots are a very subdued tan so you can wear it with anything! I was worried it would be too busy but it was perfect! I wish they made solid colors!"

Flames Holiday Prospect Update
Ryan Pike
January 03 2013 09:25AM
The holiday season is both a quiet and busy time for hockey.
On one hand, most junior, college and pro teams get time off from regular play for the holidays. On the other hand, there are a lot of international and other tournaments that take place over the holiday break.
The Heat went 3-7-3 in December, all of which was spent without Sven Baertschi in the line-up. Overall, the Swiss sniper has missed every game since leaving the November 30 tilt with Hamilton after taking an awkward crash into the boards.
The club hasn't been overly "bad" during Sven's 13-game absence, but they've lacked a bit of jump and dynamism. Collectively, they lost December's games by a score of 19-35, or basically 1.5 goals for per game versus 2.7 goals against. And the team's secondary scoring has dried up considerably – Krys Kolanos lead the club with 5 goals in the month, while Paul Byron and Roman Horak each had 3. Nobody else had more than 2 goals during that stretch.
In a search for a spark, the club recalled defender Nick Tuzzolino from Utah. Tuzzolino was up with the club late last season and was a strong offensive presence – not quite at T.J. Brodie's level, but definitely strong for an AHL blueliner. Heat beat writer Dan Kinvig tweeted that both Baertschi and Ryan Howse practised with the team this week, so they both may be close to returning. Howse was injured in his only game with Abbotsford.
(Note - this was written prior tot he Canada/US tilt)
Five Flames are in action at the World Juniors. Up to four of them have a shot at medals.
Team USA has three Flames. Jon Gillies has played a period for the team as a back-up and allowed zero goals. Patrick Sieloff was added to the club as an extra defender after the first game and has impressed with his physicality and positioning, although he has yet to take a penalty (surprisingly). Johnny Gaudreau has caught fire since late in the round robin stage, scoring five goals and adding an assist in five games total (although all his points came in a pair of games).
Team Canada has Tyler Wotherspoon, who has a goal and an assist in four games. He was instrumental in Canada's win over Russia, getting hammered into the boards to draw a five-minute power-play for Canada (in which they scored two goals) and he even got seven stitches when he was clipped in the cheek.
Team Finland is in the relegation round after some poor performances against some tougher teams, but Markus Granlund has nine points over five games. He's doing quite well, even without his brother. As of writing he was second in tournament scoring.
Without Johnny Gaudreau, Boston College split their games at the Mariucci Classic in Minneapolis. Bill Arnold had a goal over the weekend.
Michael Ferland returned to the Brandon Wheat Kings following the holidays and scored his first goal of the year, a game-winner, in the Wheaties' 6-5 win over Red Deer on December 30. Since getting cut by Team Canada, Laurent Brossoit has gone 4-0-0 and allowed five goals total for the Edmonton Oil Kings. The Oil Kings are in first place in the WHL's Eastern Conference. Swift Current's Coda Gordon had five points (two goals, three assists) in his team's first game back after the holidays. In three games since Christmas, he's got five goals and three assists.
Avangard Omsk's Karri Ramo was named the KHL's top goaltender for the month of December. He had a 4-3-0 record with three shutouts. He has now played 31 games with 21 wins and a .926 save percentage.
Coda Gordon is such a hot and cold player this year. He has 7 points in 2 games after being almost a complete non-factor for the past month or so.
Karri Ramo, in direct opposition, has been one of the most consistent players in the world for the past 3 years. Look at his last 3 seasons in the KHL. Talk about high level consistency.
Anyone know when the KHL season is done. Curious, if we have a season this year, is there any chance we see him here in Calgary?
January 03 2013, 11:15AM
@Kevin R
54 games per season + playoffs. Teams have played almost 40 to this point, which means another 4 - 6 weeks of regular season and then playoffs.
So I guess it's possible.
January 03 2013, 11:43AM
Ryan , thanks again for the on going updates! Kevin R: Peter Mahr reported yesterday that Ramo has publicly asserted that he intends on returning to the NHL. No mention of whether it was this season or next, but his contract is up after this KHL season ends. The Flames were looking to work out a deal to have him get out if this season contract early last year, but were unable to work that out with his current team. So, who knows it could very well happen this year.
Coda Gordon is such a hot and cold player this year. He has 7 points in 2 games after being almost a complete non-factor for the past month or so.
Karri Ramo, in direct opposition, has been one of the most consistent players in the world for the past 3 years. Look at his last 3 seasons in the KHL. Talk about high level consistency.
I went to the Broncos game here in Calgary a month or so ago. Graham Black was by far the best player for SC. Gordon was utterly and completely useless. He was never even in a position where he could have scored if someone could have gotten him the puck, won no puck battles, maybe made one nice pass.
It would have been nice to see his 5 point game - he's got to have more potential than he showed the time I watched him. Hopefully he was battling some illness or injury. 'cause if that's the best he's got, he'll be lucky to stay in the Dub, much less have a pro career.
Thx Kent & Chinook. Sure would be nice if we can get him here before the trade deadline. Would make trading Kipper a no brainer.
January 03 2013, 03:35PM
Haha, over reaction much? If you based every player off of one game sample sizes, Sidney Crosby wouldn't even get drafted.
Sure do appreciate these updates, Ryan. Gotta say that Johnny G and Markus G tied for second in scoring at the WJC makes me feel pretty good. Johnny G plays nothing like Theo Fleury, but he really looks just as small (not 5'8)...and about as skilled. I mean: highly highly highly skilled.
Haha, over reaction much? If you based every player off of one game sample sizes, Sidney Crosby wouldn't even get drafted.
Uh, I think that's exactly what I was saying... Read again perhaps. I said he had a terrible game, looking at his stats, he probably had a terrible month. Like I said, maybe he was suffering from illness or injury - because he was absolutely terrible. Didn't skate, didn't check.
One game. Just as I said. I also saw a Broncos game on TV earlier in the season where he was much the same. But I didn't come out saying what a horrible player he was. I really wonder if he had some kind of physical ailment. After 3 months of keeping an eye on him, and after he'd scored 8 points in three games, I made a comment based on what I had seen, hinting that maybe he's coming around. I would call that the opposite of overreaction.
January 03 2013, 05:01PM
I like over-reacting to over reactions.
I like over-reacting to over reactions.
Overreactions are the spice 'o life ;)
January 04 2013, 10:54AM
I live in Swift Current, so I see a fair bit of Coda. He is a streaky player, but doesn't disappear completely when he's cold. He just tends to get "the Jimmy legs" for stretches. Nothing goes right for him and then everything does. It's not an effort thing like it was for players like Getzlaf.
January 04 2013, 10:58AM
BTW, Gaudreau looks so good. He definitely needs some defensive accountability, but you can't teach that toe-drag top shelf shot he lets go from time to time. He looks on a similar level to RNH in this tournament. Actually better than him off the rush, but less good in the offensive zone.

Selma Waldman (1931-2008)
Working at the end of the 20th Century, I am an artist who continues to be enamored of charcoal (the tool that does not lie) and the act of drawing. A substantial body of work now exists which has been compelled by nothing more than the visceral release on paper of the most fragile, humble, and deceptively simple of mediain an age that despises fragility, humility, and simplicity.
Although both charcoal and pastel can be fragmented, crushed, and reduced to dust in a single arbitrary or careless moment of time, both of these media can project into visual art potent and sensuous powers of endurance that will resonate with the same epic, intimate, universal, and demonic obstinacy as life itself.
The work generated by this vulnerable/invulnerable dialectic will have necessarily prevailed apart from the expected conceits of conventional representation and realism. In fact, since the artist was not a Holocaust survivor, and therefore resisted entering familiar iconographical or stereotypical Holocaust imagery into the work, the "Ringen um Brot" series (as well as all other works from that time) should be considered as conceptual in nature: that is, as metaphor embodied in gesture and conceptualized in series. Additionally, an uncompromising commitment to the practice of strenuous draftsmanship has determined that line, and not narrative, would be the uncommon force summoned to charge gesture with human meaning and confront shock with compassion.
An encounter in the late sixties with Elie Wiesel's "Night" it was the "Meir" passage in which the murders of father and son for bread were described provided the shattering conceptual ground for beginning the series I called "The Man and the Loaf of Bread," followed by "Das Ringen um Brot." Several decades later, in the nineties, two other disparate encounters gave unexpected confirmation to the earlier conceptual archetypes in the "Brot" series and in the hundreds of exploratory works on racism and genocide created thereafter: the first, the words of a Jewish writer who recorded that the search for his vanished roots in Poland had evolved on "the tightrope between revelation and despair"; the second, a scene from the film "Lamerica" in which a young Albanian man crouching in an overloaded truck dies with his head on the shoulder of an old man who, uncomprehendingly, tries to coax him "awake" by placing a bit of bread on his lips.
More recently, a few years after completing the panel called "Unearthly Grief," I learned that at one time the poet Akhmatova saw herself taking on the role of the traditional Russian "Wailer"the woman chosen by the village people to articulate the anguish of all those who had suffered loss and were overcome by grief.
It was the 1944 entry from an obscure Italian war diary by a British woman that offered in 1996 the conceptual seed for current worksinprogress: "Anatole France, in his old age, intended to write a novel (to be called) Les autels de la peur. The Altars of Fearcould a better title be found for an account of our times?" As a subseries of "Les Autels de la Peur," new insights into the cliche "naked aggression" asserted themselves. For instance, the drawings called "Skelani Stalker" (of a Serbian "irregular" on patrol in Bosnia) became the indirect confrontational reference to rapedeclared to be an act of genocide during the recent trial of a convicted Rwandan war criminal. Declared in the drawing, "ChasseurlLuxur.

Academy Grad Mary Cox '13 and Her Heroic Night In the Rigging
On its first offshore race and only the 2nd race since its commissioning 3 weeks ago, the J/122 Orion owned by Paul Milo finished at 0056.25 this morning after experiencing an extended knockdown situation just south of the Patuxent River. After the first 6 hours of great sailing in heavy air, during a takedown at 2200H the chute wrapped around the head stay and the boat was knocked down and stayed on its side with the keel out of the water for close to an hour. The crew spent a good 30 minutes working out a plan as to how to proceed safely when the plan of action was formulated and crew member Mary Cox, a class of 2013 graduate of the US Naval Academy, went up the rig and cut away enough of the spinnaker to allow the boat to right itself. With Mary now at the top of the rig with the boat vertical, additional sail was cut away and with a brief trip down to the deck for a break, Mary went up one more time to release the balance of the chute still wound in to the head stay and then it was back to business as usual. The crew was safe and knuckled down to try and make up what turned out to be a drastic loss of time having been the class leader prior to the knockdown and post the incident finding themselves about 12 miles behind. They made up time and were back with their class by the time they reached the Light tunnel. Orion's team did a great job making sure Mary was as safe as possible during the maneuver and she enjoyed the experience of driving most of the balance of the race from Block Island to Newport and over the finish line.The Service Academy boats compete for a set of trophies. Some of the boats raced in the IRC Division, some in the PHRF Division. They were re-scored using PHRF ratings for all of the boats. Flirt, one of the older of the two Navy 44's sailing, won the trophies. The skipper was Jonathan Driesslein, navigator, Nick Tucker.Posted Tuesday, June 11 @ 5:14 p.m. by the Annapolis Yacht Club

Speaking the Truth
Gary is an author, trial lawyer, Mequon-area resident and town of Cedarburg supervisor. He is a columnist for the News Graphic and writes for several Wisconsin area magazines and is a national columnist with The American Thinker and PJ Media. He lives with his wife, Lisa, and has three sons ages 18 to 28. Gary won Ozaukee County in his bid for the Wisconsin Assembly's 60th District in 2011, but came up just 58 votes short.
Ozaukee County: America's Second-Best Place To Raise A Family Just Got BetterThose of us who live here have always known that Ozaukee County is a great place to live and raise a family. We don't need polls, market research, or website lists to confirm how fortunate we truly are. Still, when Forbes.com came out last month with its national rankings of the best places to raise a family in America, it was reassuring to see that Ozaukee County sat in the number two spot on the list.
Using research provided by the Tax Foundation – a nonpartisan tax research group in Washington, D.C. – Forbes studied every county in America with a population over 65,000. They isolated counties in which over half of the per-pupil spending comes from property taxes, and then scratched off any county in which the average SAT score fell below 1,050 (math and verbal combined) or in which the ACT scores dropped below 22. Forbes ranked the remaining counties using a ten data point system which included factors such as cost of living, graduation rate, standardized scores, home price, property tax rate as a percentage of median home prices, percentage of homes occupied by the owner, per-capita income, air quality, crime rates, and commute times. When the dust settled, Ozaukee County sat in second place, behind Hamilton County, Indiana, just outside of Indianapolis, as the best place to raise a family in the country.
If Forbes' rankings had considered geographic factors such as being situated on the world's largest supply of fresh water or being within an hour's drive of Titletown, USA, in contrast to Hamilton County's being smack dab in the middle of one of the flatter and more boring states in the country, Ozaukee County clearly would have topped the list.
Forbes' rankings also gave significant weight to things such as parks, recreation programs, and athletic opportunities. But what they didn't know when they released the list on June 30 is that the quality and quantity of athletic facilities currently available to Ozaukee County residents is about to get even better. That alone should earn it top billing on the Forbes list.
On July 2, the Town of Cedarburg unveiled its support for a new major sports and athletic complex to be located in the town at Five Corners, just north of the City of Cedarburg. The new sports complex will be located on 95 acres near the southwest corner of Highway 60 and Washington Avenue, behind the Grafton State Bank and Town Hall on what was formerly known as the Prochnow Landfill.
The new facilities will feature a huge array of recreational opportunities for Cedarburg and Ozaukee County residents, including soccer, softball, baseball, football, and archery. It will also boast playgrounds, shelters, hiking trails and batting cages. Finally, Cedarburg will have the facilities needed to host games and tournaments for area youth and adult sports leagues. It will serve as the gateway to Ozaukee County for hundreds of thousands of parents and athletes traveling here from all corners of the Midwest, many of whom are future county taxpayers.
Ozaukee County has been in desperate need of such a facility for decades, and the new complex will solve many of our athletic and recreational space needs for generations to come. A conceptual plan along with other details can be seen at www.town.cedarburg.wi.us. The new park will provide additional traffic for Cedarburg businesses, including both City of Cedarburg merchants and those locating within the town's new Five Corners Master Plan area.
There are still many hurdles to be overcome and the park will not be built overnight. Various planning, fundraising, and regulatory issues must first be addressed before construction can begin. Seven acres of the property was used as a landfill between 1945 and 1972. But such was also the case with Lime Kiln Park in Grafton and Mee-Kwon golf course in Mequon. The power to control title of the property – currently ready to be assigned by a special administrator for the Estate of Marvin Prochnow – rests with the Town of Cedarburg, the City of Cedarburg, Emerson Electric Corporation, and Brunswick Corporation (now Mercury Marine). These four entities make up the responsible parties who must remediate or clean up the property, and they are all working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to develop a plan to do so. While the cost to clean up the property is not precisely known, the acquisition of title to the property and its cleanup is the subject of discussions between the City of Cedarburg and the Town of Cedarburg. Much progress has been made in these negotiations, and it is the town's fervent desire to present town, city and county residents with one of the biggest and most impressive sports facilities anywhere in Wisconsin. You can help make this dream a reality by attending an Open House at the Cedarburg Town Hall at Five Corners on Tuesday, July 15th between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to learn more and voice your support. This truly will be a monster gift from the community of Cedarburg to its children and grandchildren.
The proposed sports complex is only the beginning. Less than two miles away, thousands of hockey players of all ages are excited at the prospect of a second ice rink being built in the county. The Ozaukee Youth Hockey Association and the Ozaukee Ice Association are in negotiation with Ozaukee County to acquire the Ozaukee Ice Center located at 5505 Pioneer Road on the Mequon/Cedarburg border. The current facility is home to Concordia University's men's and women's Division III college hockey teams, along with high school teams from Cedarburg, Homestead, and Grafton. In addition, hundreds of Ozaukee County families also have young athletes involved in the Ozaukee Youth Hockey Association programs, resulting in sparse ice time availability and practice times as early as 5:00 a.m. and as late as midnight for some young athletes. The need for a second rink reached critical mass some years ago, and a solution in the form of a second rink built right next to the current rink appears to be a step closer to reality.
Once OYHA acquires the facility from the county, which it gifted to the county years ago, its plan is to partner with Concordia University to build the second facility and give the Concordia Falcons a dominant athletic presence in the heart of Ozaukee County. The resulting second rink will provide Ozaukee County with another premier destination for tournaments and sporting events, and give ample practice and ice time to users of all ages, including plenty of public skating time.
It is a given that Forbes did not consider these huge two sports and athletic developments along with many other salient attributes of Ozaukee County when it nudged Hamilton County, Indiana to the number one ranking on its list. As fresh water becomes the currency of the new millennium, Ozaukee County joins a short and distinguished list of communities living next to the world's largest fresh water bank. When you consider these things, it is no doubt safe to assume that whether or not you have children in area schools or athletic programs, Ozaukee County is now unofficially the best place in America to live and raise a family. With a little community support for the new Sports Complex and hockey facility, it will only be a matter of time before we make that first place ranking official.

Fairly loud, but I still can't hear your voice!
Loud, but I can hear you.
Moderate, and I can have a conversation with you.

One time I had my music turned up in my history class while I was studying. Soon after the class got quiet. I didn't realize they could hear my music (I was listening to Heavy Metal!) until I noticed people looking at me!
Spoiler!It's a wonder Jiraiya didn't leave the leaf for Hidan's village of pervy paradise... The village hidden in the hotsprings!
72 hours of hell!
well, i always have my music extremely loud, thanks to being able to max out the volume on itunes. alot of people always warn me that i wont be able to hear when i get older, and that ill loose my hearing, so i sometimes listen to music softly, but 90% of the time its super loud. plus, its not like i can avoid it, i play with bands, loudness coming from earphones is something i can actually fall asleep to, im used to loud sounds.
I can usually hear what a person is saying when I listen to music, but sometimes I like to listen with the volume turned up to the max
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
I try to get the volume up to the exact point where all the noise around me ceases to interfere with the music. Needless to say, I rarely hear those that speak to me while I listen to music.
if any louder i would blast my ear drums!
Well it depends entirely on situation and my personal mood.
- If it is a party, I definitely prefer the category, "Fairly loud, but I still can't hear your voice!".
- If I am alone and spending my spare time leisurely I would rather go for "Moderate, and I can have a conversation with you." Type of music.
- If I am having a dinner with my partner, I would like to have, "Quiet, I just need some background music." Type of music.

Logistics Officer
Logistics Officers have a high degree of visibility due to their critical role in planning strategies for every major unit in the operating forces. They perform a variety of duties including coordinating the movement of Marines and equipment from ship to shore to forward operating bases. This MOS allows officers to develop long-range projects, manage the supply chain and analyze data and performance.
Specialized Training
- Logistics Officer Course
Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools (MCCSSS)
Camp Lejeune, NC
55 days
Within the MAGTF
Logistics Officers are members of the Logistics Combat Element (LCE) within the MAGTF. Logistics officers plan, coordinate, execute and supervise the execution of all logistics functions of combat service support (CSS): supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering and health services.
Beyond Your First Tour
After your first tour, you may be assigned to a billet available to all officers, such as recruiting duty, instructor duty at The Basic School or series commander at one of the Marine Corps Recruit Depots. Later in your career, you may be assigned to Expeditionary Warfare School or seek an advanced degree. This pattern of assignment is designed to expand your knowledge of the Marine Corps and overall strategic operations before you take on increased responsibility within your MOS.
MAGTF refers to the unique four-part structure that organizes Marine Corps operating forces. This framework brings together Aviation, Ground and Logistics Combat elements under a central Command element. The result is a flexible, combined-arms unit with the capabilities to conduct the Marine Corps' full range of operations, from humanitarian aid and disaster relief to projection of power from the sea.
A MEU, or Marine Expeditionary Unit, is the smallest type of MAGTF, often providing the most substantial response in the shortest amount of time. 2,200 Marines that are trained in hundreds of areas of expertise serve on a MEU. Here is the breakdown of a MEU's makeup:
Command Element – Approximately 200 Marines. Responsible for command and control of the entire MEU.
Ground Combat Element – Approximately 1,200 Marines. A Battalion Landing Team that includes three rifle companies, a weapons company, a battery of artillery and platoons of the following: combat engineers, light armored reconnaissance, tanks, Force Reconnaissance and amphibious assault vehicles.
Aviation Combat Element – Approximately 500 Marines. A MEU's ACE is built around a medium tilt-rotor squadron, reinforced by CH-53E heavy lift helicopters, light attack helicopters and Harrier attack jets. The result is a squadron of 25 to 30 aircraft.
Logistics Combat Element – Approximately 300 Marines. Provides supply, transportation, maintenance and additional support for the MEU.
MEUs deploy aboard an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG): Three naval ships specifically designed to provide the Marines with a mobile base of operations. See here what serving aboard a MEU entails.

VIDEO: Morgan Rielly's howitzer vs. Slovakia
Cam Charron
December 28 2012 05:05AM
Not sure who could have predicted that the Canadian world junior team would be losing 3-1 to Team Slovakia in the second period, but this wicked slapshot from Maple Leafs' draft pick Morgan Rielly on a 5-on-3 potentially changed the outcome of the game.
Rielly and partner Xavier Ouellet were arguably Canada's top defensive unit against the Slovaks. He also had two assists in the game. Sort of inconsequential given the level of opponent, but he had a very strong game and the above goal was fairly impressive and likely the highlight of the game.
can someone explain to me why Reilly sits on the bench while Murphy Caughs up the puck or makes a poor outlet pass or at best skates end to end only to take a shot at the other goalies chest?? What's he have to do for top pairing minutes and first unit PP time? Coach needs to give his head a shake!!
