Okay - I'm going to get technical here ... since I'm still in the process of growing up I have several. Before-the-age-of-15 growing up my favourite was Anne of Green Gables series then after-the-age-of-15-but-before-the-age-of-35 growing up it was anything Jane Austen and now ... well actually I'm reading Persuasion for the umpteenth time ... I love Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters. Sorry if I'm being difficult!
I forgot about the Bronte sisters, I love them too. I liked reading Thomas Hardy too, I read him when I started high school. That's ok, you're not being difficult. I'm just as bad now that I actually think about it. lol

Thanks for bringing this up. I had forgotten about all the books I read as a child. I used to win the Read-a-thons at school because the school librarian would order books that she knew I would love. I got to read them first. It was an awesome arrangement.

I liked the Judy Blume books because they taught me about you-know-what.
And that's exactly what we'd say, too!
I liked "Deenie" and most all Judy Bloom books in upper elementary. In early elementary I loved the Raggedy Ann and Andy Stories. I kept them and am now reading them to our girls. What fun to look at the exact book together that my mom and dad read to me! And you just can't get them like that anymore (do I sound old??? LOL!)
Oh, I almost forgot, "The Chronicles of Narnia" ...all of them, but especially, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "The Voyage of the Dawntreader"
Fun thread!

And of course, the Harry Potter books. I've read each of them at least four times, except for the last two. I'm in the mood to start reading them again. It's amazing that even after reading them so many times, I always find something new in them.
I guess I can't say I loved Harry Potter growing up (since it didn't actually exist), but I'm rather addicted to them now - I know what you mean, every time you read them, you connect some more pieces. I'm trying to get dd started on them - she seems to enjoy fantasy, but for some reason I can't quite get her to start them. I think she'd bee hooked too if she started, maybe the problem is that it's me trying to convince her. Maybe if I told her they were really stupid, she wouldn't like them, I'd have more luck?! A little reverse psychology - I guess most of the things she has read have female main characters. I'll have to play up Hermione a little for her.

Little Women
The Secret Garden
The Little House Books - I was fortunate that my Aunt was a childrens librarian and I got this whole series a couple each Christmas over the years
The Boxcar Children
Oh and can't forget Heidi
and Anne Frank
On my grandmothers bookshelf was a book called "Girls Stories of Great Women" I would read those short stories over and over. She finally gave me the book despite how worn out it was and it still sits on my bookshelf.

GigapanMagazine.org vol 2 issue 3
This pano is taken next to the St. Mary's Cathedral on Fort Street Mall and in front of the Portuguese memorial, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, or Symbol of the Discoveries, honoring Portuguese immigrants who journeyed to Hawaii in the 19th century.
Land for the cathedral was a gift from King Kamehameha III to the Catholics to atone for what some call persecution, for Hawaiian alii had sided with Protestant missionaries and made life difficult for early Catholics in Hawaii. Ground was broken for St. Mary's in 1840. It was consecrated and dedicated in 1843.
This pano is the revised stitch with Auto Pano Giga (Kolor). Some pluses and minuses in this software for this image, mostly pluses. In any case it was a good learning experience. Some frames are blurred because of the reconfiguration, on the other hand the collapsing on the right found in the first gigapan stitch has been corrected, and some characters are now at least whole rather than completely hackneyed.

Use two Betty Crocker® cookie mixes to make one delicious dessert in this delicious blend of oatmeal and peanut butter flavors.
Using a cookie scoop is very important for this recipe, as you want your cookies to be uniform in size when you sandwich them together. The 2-teaspoon-size cookie scoop results in a cookie measuring about 2 inches in diameter. If your scoop is smaller or larger, your yield will differ.
Feel free to use any of the Betty Crocker® Whipped frosting varieties if you can't find the whipped cream flavor.

1.1 Scope. 1.1.1 The scope of this code is to establish minimum criteria as follows in 1.1.2 through 1.1.13. 1.1.2 Fundamentals. Chapter 4 establishes criteria for levels of health care services or systems based on risk to the patients, staff, or visitors in health care facilities. 1.1.3 Gas and Vacuum Systems. 188.8.131.52 Chapter 5 covers the performance, maintenance, installation, and testing of the following: (1) Nonflammable medical gas systems with operating pressures below a gauge pressure of 2068 kPa (300 psi) (2) Vacuum systems in health care facilities (3) Waste anesthetic gas disposal (WAGD) systems, also referred to as scavenging (4) Manufactured assemblies that are intended for connection to the medical gas, vacuum, or WAGD systems (also referred to as scavenging) 22.214.171.124 Requirements for portable compressed gas systems are covered in Chapter 11. 1.1.4 Electrical Systems. 220.127.116.11 Chapter 6 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of electrical systems (both normal and essential) in health care facilities. 18.104.22.168 The following areas are not addressed in this code, but are addressed in other NFPA documents: (1) Specific requirements for wiring and installation of equipment are covered in NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. (2) Requirements for illumination and identification of means of egress in health care facilities are covered in NFPA 101, Life Safety Code. (3) Requirements for installation, testing, and maintenance of fire protection signaling systems are covered in NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. (4) Requirements for installation of fire pumps are covered in NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, except that the alternate source of power are permitted to be the essential electrical system. (5) Requirements for installation of stationary engines and gas turbines are covered in NFPA 37, Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines. 1.1.5 Information Technology and Communications Systems. Chapter 7 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of information technology and communications systems in health care facilities. 1.1.6 Plumbing. Chapter 8 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of plumbing systems in health care facilities. 1.1.7 HVAC Systems. Chapter 9 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of heating, cooling, and ventilating in health care facilities. 1.1.8 Electrical Equipment. Chapter 10 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of electrical equipment in health care facilities. 1.1.9 Gas Equipment. Chapter 11 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of gas equipment in health care facilities. 1.1.10* Emergency Management. Chapter 12 establishes criteria for emergency management in the development of a program for effective disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery in health care facilities. A.1.1.10 Because no single model of an emergency management plan is feasible for every health care facility, this chapter is intended to provide criteria for the preparation and implementation of an individual plan. The principles involved are universally applicable; the implementation needs to be tailored to the specific facility. 1.1.11 Security Management. Chapter 13 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of security equipment and systems in health care facilities. 1.1.12* Hyperbaric Facilities. Chapter 14 covers the recognition of, and protection against, hazards of an electrical, explosive, or implosive nature, as well as fire hazards associated with hyperbaric chambers and associated facilities that are used, or intended to be used, for medical applications and experimental procedures at gauge pressures from 0 kPa to 690 kPa (0 psi to 100 psi). A.1.1.12 During the past 20 years, there has been a widespread interest in the use of oxygen at elevated environmental pressure to increase the partial pressure of oxygen in a patient's tissues in order to treat certain medical conditions or to prepare a patient for surgery. These techniques are also employed widely for the treatment of decompression sickness (e.g., bends, caisson worker's disease) and carbon monoxide poisoning. Recently, however, the level of knowledge and expertise has increased so dramatically that the codes are in need of updating. By the end of 1988, there were 218 hyperbaric facilities in operation in the United States and Canada. These facilities supported hyperbaric medical treatments for 62,548 patients between 1971 and 1987. As these facilities provide therapy for disorders indicated for treatment, these numbers will continue to increase. As the number of facilities increases, the number of patients treated will also increase. Such treatment involves placement of the patient, with or without attendants, in a hyperbaric chamber or pressure vessel, the pressure of which is raised above ambient pressure. In the course of the treatment, the patient breathes up to 100 percent oxygen. In addition to being used for patient care, these chambers also are being employed for research purposes using experimental animals and, in some instances, humans. The partial pressure of oxygen present in a gaseous mixture is the determinate factor in the amount of available oxygen. This pressure will rise if the volume percentage of oxygen present increases, if the total pressure of a given gas mixture containing oxygen increases, or if both these factors increase. Because the sole purpose of the hyperbaric technique of treatment is to raise the total pressure within the treatment chamber, an increased partial pressure of oxygen always is available during treatment, unless positive means are taken to limit the oxygen content. In addition, the patient is often given an oxygen-enriched atmosphere to breathe. The need for human diligence in the establishment, operation, and maintenance of hyperbaric facilities is continual. The chief administrator of the facility possessing the hyperbaric chamber is responsible to adopt and enforce appropriate regulations for hyperbaric facilities. In formulating and administering the program, full use should be made of technical personnel highly qualified in hyperbaric chamber operations and safety. It is essential that personnel having responsibility for the hyperbaric facility establish and enforce appropriate programs to fulfill the provisions of Chapter 14. Potential hazards can be controlled only when continually recognized and understood by all pertinent personnel. The purpose of Chapter 14 is to set forth minimum safeguards for the protection of patients or others subject to, and personnel who administer, hyperbaric therapy and experimental procedures. Its purpose is also to offer some guidance for rescue personnel who are not ordinarily involved in hyperbaric chamber operation, but who could become so involved in an emergency. Requirements cited in 1.1.12 are minimum requirements. Discretion on the part of chamber operators and others might dictate the establishment of more stringent regulations. 1.1.13 Features of Fire Protection. Chapter 15 covers the performance, maintenance, and testing of fire protection equipment in health care facilities.
NFPA 99 establishes criteria for levels of health care services or systems based on risk to the patients, staff, or visitors in health care facilities to minimize the hazards of fire, explosion, and electricity.
Requirements address installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, performance, and safe practices for facilities, material, equipment, and appliances, including medical gas and vacuum systems.

"Celiac is suffered by approximately 1% of our population. Research estimates that gluten sensitivity is conservatively present in approximately 40% of our population –big discrepancy there."
I was told that celiac disease = gluten intolerance/sensitivity; i.e., you either have it or you don't.
Nice question and thanks for asking it!
Let's start with the comment equating celiac disease to gluten intolerance/sensitivity. First of all you are correct - you DO either have it or you don't. Gluten sensitivity is genetic and the sooner it gets diagnosed the better your health will be.
While it is true that every celiac is gluten sensitive, the reverse doesn't hold up. In other words, not every gluten sensitive patient has celiac disease. The problem really arises from the incorrect equating that has been going on for so long in the medical community. It has been thought, for a very long time, that if a patient did not have celiac disease then they weren't gluten sensitive. And because celiac disease is relatively rare, looking for it as the root cause of a patient's symptoms was definitely no where near the top of this list for most M.D.s. It is this very misconception and the resultant patients who continue to suffer due to not being properly diagnosed, that was the driving force behind writing my book. What we kept seeing in the practice was patients who clearly couldn't tolerate gluten but who did not fit the classic narrow diagnostic criteria for celiac disease - which is villous atrophy (just think degradation of the small intestine).
Insisting that a patient is fine unless they have villous atrophy is akin to saying a person with very high cholesterol is fine unless they have a heart attack.
Add the above misconception to the fact that only 1 in 8 of those people suffering from celiac disease are diagnosed and you begin to see not only the magnitude of the problem but why it is that the average celiac patient takes 10 to 15 years to be diagnosed.
Gluten sensitivity is truly "the elephant in the room" that no one has been seeing!
In response to the first part of the question from the reader I'm going to include a little snippet from Chapter 8 of my upcoming book on gluten sensitivity.
For every one Celiac disease patient, there are eight who have asymptomatic gluten sensitivity.[9] It is estimated that between 35-50 percent of our population have some form of gluten sensitivity.[10] We understand more about our immune system now, and also we have many blood tests and other procedures that help us "see" how gluten affects some people. But we are just scratching the surface. It is not a surprise that a protein in our diets that has been causing bone, dental and nutritional changes for centuries still is not fully understood in its full scope of effects. Gluten has stealthily hidden itself from obvious view and continues to do so for much of the traditional medical community (a mistake we hope to correct with this book).
[9]. The Iceberg Cometh: Establishing the Prevalence of Celiac Disease in the United States and Finland,Gastroenterology Vol.126, No.1, Jan. 2004, 359-361.
[10]. EnteroLab. "Early Diagnosis of Gluten Sensitivity: Before the Villi are Gone," June 2003. Kenneth Fine, M.D.
According to a New England Journal of Medicine in 2007, a gluten-free diet is a valid means for diagnosis of gluten intolerance. This is a very respected medical journal and this statement will hopefully be getting the attention it deserves.

I used Enterolab to confirm my gluten sensitivity. I have been gluten free for 5 years and the change in my health has been absolutely amazing. No more fatigue and depression. Improvement in peripheral neuropathy. Eyes and mouth are no longer dry. The list of improvements is very long.
I stumbled across your blog this morning - nice find, will bookmark it. It is refreshing to find more doctors who are looking at the whole spectrum of gluten sensitivity and not just celiac disease. When will your book become available?
Hello my name is Wyatt. I am 16 and have had bad social anxxiety, blurry/tunnel vision, major fatique, and bad concentration/lack of motivation for 2 years. I believe i could have a gluten sensitivity but am not sure because smoking marijuanna has ignited these symptoms. Apart from that fact i still believe i could have been gluten sensitive before my bad experience with marijuanna. Do these symptoms go hand and hand woth gluten sensitivity?
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Hello Wyatt,
Yes, the symptoms you describe could be associated with gluten sensitivity.
You need to stop smoking marijuana. It is dangerous and will affect your health drastically.
There is no harm in going gluten-free to see how you feel.
Good luck!

Thread: Questions re: Boesemani Rainbows
Questions re: Boesemani Rainbows
Yesterday I added 4 Boesemani Rainbows to my tank. When I bought them, I didn't realize the male and females would color differently, but I also heard that sometimes they don't take on the full color right away.
I suspect that I have one male and three females. The one I suspect is male has a yellow-orange tale and is tinging blue, much like the pics I've seen of this species. He seems to spend more time next to or around one of the other three, who happens to be closest in size to him.
The other three are all silvery with pale-yellow tail ends. Am I correct in assuming these are females? The two largest (who also are not the ones who seem to have paired off with the male) seem to be more spazzy, zooming around the tank a lot more.
If these are in fact females, I am wondering if I should return one to the store and, now that I know what males look like, pick one that is most definitely a male so I'll have an even ratio. Or is it better to have more males and a single female?
Also, what else can I do to bring out their best colors?
As they age, their color is more evident. They will color up more as they get used to their tank, too.
Females are nearly all gold and males have a line down the middle with gold in back and blue in the front.
Easy to tell before long. Males in relaxed mode. More colorful when mating.
Last edited by Lady Hobbs; 08-23-2011 at 04:06 PM.
If you care about mating i believe the ratio should be just how you have it 1 male to ever 2-3 females. If you dont care for that then just get all males they color up way better then females. To get the best color out of them ? I say just wait a week or so for them to get use to their new home with good water perams and i also say return the females and get all males as they will always be challenging each other to see who looks better.110g All Male Peacock/Hap Tank

BP Gulf Oil Disaster
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven workers died on the rig while five million barrels of crude oil gushed from the well before it was finally capped a full three months later. It is the largest oil spill in U.S. history and the second largest in world history (only Saddam Hussein's intentional release and burning of Kuwaiti oil ranks higher). The environmental, economic, social, and political consequences are only beginning to be known.
The Energy Program is committed to exposing the true cost of offshore drilling. With our partners, we are working to accelerate the transition to renewable energy while holding oil companies accountable for their negligence and environmental abuses, the consequences of which have been devastating not only to communities in the Gulf of Mexico but around the world, from the United States to Nigeria, Angola, and beyond.

Like the article stated; there are a few key points to remember.
1. You need more Carbs. Pasta dishes allow for tasty carbs uploads. That and most pasta dishes are easy to prepare in a One Pot.
Shell noodles and a package of chicken chunks, or rice and chicken or tuna make for easy yummy alternatives to ramen noodles and jerky.
Carbs in morning are important too. breakfast bars, oatmeal, and eggs are good options. Try to eat a warm meal in the morning. This gets your day off to a great start.
2. Timing is everything. The article talked about when you eat. Breakfast about an hour before you start your activity, lunch is great, because you can have many lunches. Little snacks throughout the day, a good cup of soup, and more snacks later. Keeping your body energized by adding fuel is important during activity. Dinner should be a biggy. Even a good one pot meal should fill up the stomach and get you ready for the night ahead.
A little snack before hitting the rack is a good idea too, just to stoke the fire in the belly for a warm sleep.
3. Protein. A variety of protein items are a must. Tuna, and Chicken offer good protein meals while protein bars and drinks are a good idea too.
4. Variety is the spice of life. Get out of the same ole food ruts.. try something new. If you don't like it… at least you tried it once, you don't have to do it again. Having a variety will make your camp outs interesting and add to fun of testing skills and trying new things.
Simple rules that will get you or at least your taste buds through the next camp out!
Happy Scouting!

Gemma Quilt Kit
No surprise, I used fabrics I adore by Robyn Pandolph to re-create this reproduction quilt. The fabrics are from her Notting Hill collection, and they had these fabulous teals and dusty reds.
I re-created a lone star quilt, but with a pinwheel star center. Plus, no diagonal piecing here – I turned to basic half-square triangles and flying geese to mimic the look.
I hope you enjoy Gemma, and let me know what you think!

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Press ReleaseAugust 26, 2014
Goal is Clean Water for the Keystone State
(HARRISBURG, PA)—The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) has launched an exciting statewide campaign, Clean Water Counts.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's most recent statewide water quality survey, nearly one-quarter, almost 20,000 miles, of the creeks, rivers, and lakes that we rely on for recreation, and for drinking and household uses, are polluted.
CBF is urging Pennsylvania officials to make clean water a priority throughout the Keystone State, and to commit the needed funding to ensure that all 83,000 miles of waterways in the state are clean."Healthy families, strong communities, and a thriving Pennsylvania economy depend on it," said Harry Campbell, CBF's Pennsylvania Executive Director. "That's why we're calling on the state to prioritize clean water and funding to decrease pollution from agricultural activities and runoff from our urban and suburban communities." In addition to calling on state officials to commit the needed resources for clean water, CBF is also asking something of local officials and citizens. "We're asking all Pennsylvania residents to show their support for clean water by signing the Clean Water Counts online petition," said Campbell. "And we're asking County Commissioners throughout the state to adopt Clean Water Resolutions, to further encourage state officials to prioritize clean water."
Without targeted prioritization and funding to address pollution issues, the Commonwealth's most important resource, clean water, will continue to be susceptible to pollution and degradation. The Clean Water Counts campaign is a part of CBF's on-going mission to improve water quality locally, and downstream in the Chesapeake Bay. By working together and following Pennsylvania's Clean Water Blueprint, we can restore our local rivers and streams.
Together, we can have clean water for today, and for generations to come.
Online petition signatures will be accepted through October 18th, the anniversary of the Clean Water Act. To learn more about the campaign go to www.cbf.org/PAForCleanWater.

TritioAFB wrote:Is criticism of the creator always inappropriate?
I don't think so. It will be inappropriate if the creator doesn't mention any negative aspect about the video, focusing only in the awesomeness of the video, but if the creator is concient about what changes could be made, or if there were other ways to do the video, then I will not believe their thoughts will be inappropiate.
I was actually speaking to criticism directed at and editor rather than at a specific example of their work. As an example, saying that an editor makes the same technical mistake in every video despite how many times she is told how to correct it. One might come to the conclusion that the editor either doesn't care enough to correct the mistake or has some specific artistic purpose for never correcting it (and then, is it really a mistake?).
However, it is intriguing to consider what role an editor has in the critique and analysis of his or her own work.

Frosted Blackberry Cake RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 4 3
Ann Kelly of Gallatin, Tennessee takes advantage of boxed mixes to bake this moist berry-flavored cake. "My husband and I started watching our fat and sugar intake, so I made several changes to the original recipe to come up with this lighter version," she says. "It's best prepared the day before serving, and it freezes well, too."
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
- 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free raspberry gelatin
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup egg substitute
- 1 jar (10 ounces) seedless blackberry spreadable fruit
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons fat-free milk
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix and gelatin. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, egg substitute, spreadable fruit, applesauce and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Pour into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, combine icing ingredients until smooth. Spread over cooled cake. Yield: 20 servings.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...asing-in-miamiFasano has started all 60 games he's played in Miami since arriving from the Dallas Cowboys in a trade early in the Bill Parcells regime. He occupies that vague realm of "solid, not great" starters which usually leaves fans wanting more. The Dolphins appear headed in another direction at the position.
The buzzword for the Miami Dolphins' offense this offseason: up-tempo. The team wants more pace, more no-huddle and more short routes like any good West Coast offense.
Fasano averaged 443 yards over the last four years. We'd be surprised if that number doesn't decrease this season. We'd also be surprised if Fasano is back in Miami after his contract runs out.

Luc Besson has loved the Valerian and Laureline comics since he was a kid. Now, after wearing its influence on his sleeve in The Fifth Element, the French director has finally brought his first love to the screen. And it looks like an eye-popping mix of Star Wars (the comics pre-date George Lucas's space opera by more than a decade, and the influence is obvious), Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and, as Besson himself described it, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith in space." Whew. After you watch the trailer below, read all about how Luc went about bringing his passion project to the screen.

Here are some of the best signs at today's Climate March in D.C.
Close to 200,000 people marched through the heart of Washington, D.C. today to call attention to the climate change crisis and to protest the Trump administration on its 100th day.
Here are some of the best and most inspired signs at the march: MB
Will Ferrell steals the show at Sam Bee's Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner
In a 12-minute set, Will Ferrell reprised his role as former President George W. Bush at Sam Bee's Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner event. Here are his best digs at President Trump:
"History's proved to be kinder to me than many of you thought it would. I was considered the worst president of all time–that has changed. I needed eight years, a catastrophic flood, a war built on a lie, an economic disaster–the new guy needed 100 days."
"I'll be honest, I never liked you guys in the press—our relationship was sometimes strained. You guys would always sneak up on me with 'gotcha' questions like, 'Why are we going to war?' Gotcha! 'Why did you not respond to Hurricane Katrina?' Gotcha! 'What is your middle name?' Gotcha. I just wish someone would've told me that all you have to say is 'fake news' over and over again."
"I don't know why anyone would become a journalist now. It's like being on the Titanic in this room. The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Herald—the iceberg is coming and you guys are hanging on to your journalistic integrity, playing the violin as the ship goes down. You should do what they're going over there at Fox & Friends—those guys are dressing up like women and children and stealing the lifeboats."
"Journalism school is where you go so you can be a journalist. Or you can also just post angry, racist tweets and hope Breitbart hires you." KI
The EPA picked a weird time to update its website
You can't make this stuff up: Just a few hours before thousands of demonstrators were set to descend on Washington, D.C., for the Peoples Climate March, our trusty Environmental Protection Agency said its website would be "undergoing changes." The changes are curious to say the least—as of this morning, an EPA web page dedicated to climate change information is completely gone. The page redirects to an under-construction notice:
"Thank you for your interest in this topic. We are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt. If you're looking for an archived version of this page, you can find it on the January 19 snapshot."
In addition to today's march in D.C., hundreds of sister marches are planned for around the world. Here's more context from the Washington Post.

Amazon might launch a touch-screen Echo soon
A premium display-equipped version of the Amazon Echo speaker has been the subject of rumors for over a year now, and it could launch next month, according to CNET. The site's unnamed source claims that Amazon has accelerated the launch to stay ahead of Google, whose recent launch of multi-user support for the Google Home speaker served as a "wake-up call." If CNET's report is accurate, the device would be Amazon's second new Echo product in as many months, following this week's launch of the camera-equipped Echo Look.
This wouldn't be Amazon's first Alexa device with a display, as the voice assistant also appears on the company's Fire tablets and Fire TV media players. But the premium Echo device could help establish more of an on-screen presence for Alexa, ahead of its arrival on smartphones, car dashboards, and even refrigerators. JN
A new Starbucks will be bigger than your triple venti latte
Soon Starbucks fans will have a new spot to line up in front of while they wait for the return of Unicorn Frappuccinos. The Seattle-based coffee chain just announced their plan to open the world's largest Starbucks on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, taking over from a Crate & Barrel flagship, according to the Chicago Tribune.
This won't be merely another place to pick up coffee and kale chips, though, but the newest iteration of their high-end concept, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. The 43,000-square foot, four-level Roastery will be a "fully sensorial coffee environment" and continue executive chairman Howard Schulz's dream of being the "Willy Wonka of coffee" where consumers can buy espresso drinks, pour-over coffees, coffee beans, coffee cups, coffee makers, coffee accessories, and—at least at the Seattle store—bicycles. The Chicago location is expected to open in 2019, making it the third Roastery in the country. The first opened in Seattle in 2014, and the second is scheduled to open in New York City in 2018. International Roastery outposts are planned for Shanghai, Milan, and Tokyo, with plans to open 20 to 30 over time. Perhaps by then our spellcheck will accept "Roastery" as a word.

Google raters are people, too
In response to complaints that Google's advertising algorithm was serving up ads alongside racist and Holocaust-denying content, the company promised to do better. To stave off a boycott by some of the biggest companies in the world, they hired a vast team of round-the-clock raters to give that overly logical algorithm a human touch and to ensure that no ads were ending up next to offensive content.
But who are these raters of the lost algorithm (just go with that, please) who tirelessly monitor ad content on YouTube? Turns out no one really knows. According to Ars Technica, "Even Google engineers who work with rater data don't know who these people are." To get to the bottom of that mystery, Ars Technica took a deep dive into the world of these online raters and it's a fascinating peek into what makes the simple act of Googling work. Read it here while thinking up better "raters" puns. ML
The stars of "The Circle" put Jack Dorsey in the hot seat
STX Entertainment released a roundtable discussion with the stars and director of The Circle, alongside Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Based on Dave Eggers's novel of the same name, the film follows a young woman on her rapid rise in a tech and social media company, which involves taking part in an experiment that crosses ethical lines of surveillance, privacy, and personal freedom.
And to help contextualize these issues IRL, The Circle cast stopped by Twitter HQ for a live chat with Dorsey, where they mainly covered diversity and inclusion in Silicon Valley and the responsibilities tech companies have in how people use their platforms.
Watch the full discussion below or click here for Dorsey's highlights.
Remember that email you never responded to? Now you can reply to it guilt-free
Alex Goldman and PJ Vogt, hosts of the excellent Reply All internet culture podcast, have created a new holiday that everyone with an email account should be celebrating—Email Debt Forgiveness Day. It's this Sunday and gives you the excuse to respond to emails that are long overdue, without any apology or explanation. "You don't ask for forgiveness, you just act like you've already achieved it," Vogt told me.
The holiday was inspired by so-called tax amnesty days, and was invented as a way to cope with the anxiety that comes with life in the modern world and an email inbox that is forever ticking upward. "We have an incredible amount of anxiety about answering emails," said Goldman. "So if we can get everyone in the United States…" "The world," added Vogt. "Yes, if we can get everyone in the world to celebrate this holiday, it's a freebie." Instead of explaining the delay in response, Goldman and Vogt suggest simply linking to their website, which explains the origin of the sudden response.
The unofficial holiday is now in its third year. Goldman and Vogt estimate that there are hundreds of celebrants around the world. This Sunday, Goldman plans to pick up loose ends of stories he started to report on and then abandoned, and then to write a long-overdue email to his brother. Vogt plans to spend his Sunday making a dent in the thousands of messages in his inbox. He isn't sure that he'll make it through that morass, but as he notes, "What else do you have to do on Sunday?"
Ryan Seacrest, Ludacris, and YouTube are teaming up to find the next Justin Bieber
Never forget that YouTube is to blame for the rise of Justin Bieber. The talented Canadian upstart posted videos of his singing and guitar-playing, and the rest is history. Many have tried to replicate Bieber's path to a level of fame that means having your face on bedsheets and being able to wear rose-gold grills without irony, but few have succeeded. Now the unlikely combination of Ryan Seacrest, Ludacris, and YouTube hope to change that with an online talent show that just might unleash the next Justin Bieber upon the world, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The competition is called Best.Cover.Ever and it will give rising musicians the chance to perform their best cover versions of either the Backstreet Boys "As Long as You Love Me," Demi Lovato's "Confident," or Jason Derulo's "Trumpets" and earn a shot to perform with the original recording artist. Up-and-coming youngsters have until May 19 to find out who the Backstreet Boys are and then submit their song to YouTube.
Airbnb has a new plan to lure more business travelers
Today Airbnb said it will launch a new search filter to surface accommodations for business travelers. Listings categorized as "business" promise Wi-Fi and a desk—or other workspace accoutrements like toiletries—that you would ordinarily find at hotels. The new filter launches Monday.
Already Airbnb offers 150,000 business-ready homes. It also says that 250,000 companies use the site to book stays for jet-setting workers. Though Airbnb mostly caters to vacationers right now, it is increasingly positioning itself as more than just a cheap and quirky option for traveling on a budget. This year it bought Luxury Retreats to grow its upscale listings. Now it's targeting business travelers, making it a creeping concern for traditional hotels. RR
Google is trying to bring the internet to Cuba
The internet does not really exist in Cuba. (Hey, Raul Castro!) It's partially a side effect of the government trying to limit access to a world of information, earning Cuba the title of "one of the most restrictive media environments in the world," as reported by NPR. Those restrictions, combined with a lack of infrastructure and the means to purchase state-of-the-art electronics, translates to very few Cubans (fewer than 5% by some estimates) having access to the open internet. The internet that does exist is usually limited to tourist areas and bigger hotels, and is expensive. In my personal experience, it's also generally more sluggish than the dialup modem you used to access eWorld on your clamshell Mac.
While travelers to Cuba may appreciate the chance for a de facto digital detox, the people who live and work in Cuba have to exist without access in an increasingly digital world. Now Google is looking to make accessing the internet a little easier for those Cubans who do have it. The company just launched its own servers in the country. In a blog post, Google noted that Cubans "who already have access to the internet and want to use our services can expect to see an improvement in terms of quality of service," because content can now be cached locally. That applies not only to Google, but to Google-owned sites like YouTube. That means Cubans can now access pro-American videos like this.
Sidewire, where the political elite chat, turns on reader reactions, hopes for the best
Sidewire, the chat app for newsmakers, is making its first big step toward integrating readers into these dialogues with the launch of Reactions. Sidewire readers, who have heretofore been limited to marking favorite comments with a heart, can now add one of four reactions (a smiley or angry emoji, and a question mark or exclamation point) as well as add a question or comment. The difference for Sidewire is that newsmakers will still control whether to include responses or inquiries. They will be able to decide whether and how much to pull reader participation into chat. "You don't have to see it unless you want to," says Sidewire CEO Andy Bromberg. Sidewire is celebrating Reactions today with several high-profile chats, including ones with the bestselling author of the Hillary Clinton campaign tell-all Shattered, Silicon Valley's darling House Rep. Ro Khanna, and former Democratic campaign vet Bob Shrum.
Bromberg says the Sidewire community of political professionals, elected representatives, and journalists has seen an uptick in interest along with almost every other form of media covering the new presidential administration. Reactions, then, is both a natural evolution and a big risk. As I learned when reporting on Sidewire last year, newsmakers like it because there aren't any trolls. But readers could become disillusioned if they feel their voices aren't being heard and included. Sidewire has built a very civil, engaged community of pros talking to each other; now we'll find out if the audience is as professional.

This program is part of the Business & Information Systems Department.
Accounting is the glue that keeps the business world together. It keeps track of a company's money. It's used to determine a company's value. It allows executives to identify and analyze growth opportunities. Without accounting there would be no commerce!
Accounting is the theory and system of setting up, keeping, and auditing a company's books. It is the art of determining, tracking, and analyzing a company's financial position through its sales, expenses, and purchases. The financial position is critical business information for the firm's executives, their lenders, investors, and, of course, tax authorities.
The beauty of an education in accounting is that accounting knowledge and skills can be applied to any job industry; after all, every business needs accounting. Plus, with the struggling economy and the job market in decline, accounting has never been more important to individual companies, society, and the entire economy.
What are some of the things you'll do as an accountant? In addition to bookkeeping and tax return preparation, you'll be involved with banking, issuing financial statements, valuation, and forecasting for company financing. You might even provide business improvement ideas to the executives within your company or clients at your agency. You'll need to be good with numbers but you'll also have to rely on well-developed people skills.
The Accounting program at MCC will give you what you need to begin pursuing a career in this challenging, rewarding, and fun profession.

Alternate name: Jewelweed
Family: Balsaminaceae, Touch-me-not view all from this family
Description A tall leafy plant with succulent, translucent stems bearing nodding, usually pale yellow flowers occasionally splotched with reddish brown.
Habit: native annual herb; upright, branched, semi-succulent, hollow, smooth stems, watery inside; fibrous roots.
Height: 2-6 ft (0.6-1.8 m)
Leaf: alternate, long, thin, soft, elliptic to ovate, pointed, coarsely toothed; 1-4 in (2.5-10 cm) long, to 2 in (5 cm) wide; on stalk to 3 in (7.5 cm) long.
Flower: pale yellow or cream, funnel- or tube-shaped, spurred, 3 visible parts; to 1.5 in (4 cm) long; on slender, drooping stalk from leaf axil; 2-4 per plant.
Fruit: capsule, narrowly oblong, green, smooth, to 1 1/4 inches long, containing dark brown seeds.
Flower May to October.
Habitat Moist to wet sites: Low woods, swamps, stream banks, wet meadows, disturbed sites; often on mountainsides in wet, shady, limestone or neutral sites.
Range Eastern North America, from Ontario east to Nova Scotia, south to Georgia, west to Oklahoma, and north to North Dakota; not reported in Mississippi or Louisiana.
Discussion Also known as the pale jewelweed. Listed as "of special concern" in Maine. This soft-stemmed annual is less common than the very similar Spotted Touch-me-not (I. capensis). The sensitive triggering of seeds from the ripe capsule inspired these species (as well as the family's) common name, touch-me-not.
Policemans Hat (I. glandulifera), a large, purple-flowered species with mostly whorled or opposite leaves, is found from Ontario east to Nova Scotia and south to Massachusetts.

Click here to read moreNEW YORK, April 6 David Bloom, an NBC News correspondent embedded with the U.S. Armys 3rd Infantry Division outside Baghdad, died Sunday, NBC announced. Bloom, a 39-year-old husband and father of three, died of an apparent pulmonary embolism, the company said. He was the second American journalist to die in Iraq since the war began.
BLOOM had been co-anchor of the weekend editions of Today since March 2000. In his nearly 20-year career, Bloom covered many top stories for NBC News, most recently reporting from Israel on the escalating violence in the Middle East and from the U.S. on home front security and the recovery efforts at Ground Zero in the immediate aftermath of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Bob Wright, NBCs chairman and chief executive officer, said in a note to his staff: In times like these, a journalists contribution to his country is measured in terms of illustrious commitment and sacrifice... There was no one more devoted to his calling than David Bloom and for that we are both grateful and humbled.
In his most recent assignment traveling with the 2nd Battalion, 315 Mechanized Unit of U.S. Armys 3rd Infantry Division in its push toward Baghdad Bloom scored what many believe to be a first: broadcasting live reports as the American armored column he was traveling with fought its way north through the Iraqi desert.
Bloom and crew covered the war as no other: on a specially modified M-88 tank recovery vehicle that allowed them to file live reports during the divisions campaign from Kuwait to the outskirts of Baghdad. Blooms reports from Iraq for NBC News, MSNBC TV and MSNBC.com drew attention to him and his news organization.
Howard Kurtz, the media critic of The Washington Post, noted Blooms coverage for its boyish enthusiasm.
Bloom is seen zipping through the desert so often that hes become Iraqs unofficial travel guide, Kurtz wrote in a March 25 review of war coverage.
Technology journals immediately picked up on the significance of Blooms live, on-the-move reports, made possible in large part because of the foresight and ingenuity of Bloom himself.
He was very involved in the whole process, said Stacy Brady, NBCs vice president of network news operations, who helped modify the armored vehicle that quickly acquired a sobriquet the Bloommobile.
Just from his reporting experience, he added in a lot of requirements or needs that he thought would be essential for this to work, she said.
Bloom and his cameraman mounted a gyrostabilized camera - the kind thats mounted on helicopters - to produce jiggle-free video even when the M-88 was bumping along at 50 mph or more. Then the sharper-than-videophone signal was sent via microwave to a converted Ford F-450 crew-cab truck, two to 10 miles farther back in the column. An antenna on the truck transmitted the signal in real-time from its own gyrostabilized platform to an overhead satellite, which relayed it to NBC.
The truck was converted by the Maritime Telecommunications Network, right down to the custom-designed Goodyear tires.
Theyre soft and mushy, so they just ooze through the sand, said Richard Hadsall, founder of Maritime Telecommunications Network and the companys chief technology officer.
NBC News President Neal Shapiro said of Bloom that over the past few weeks, we marveled as he demonstrated a tireless devotion to this story. At this incredibly difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Davids family and all of our brave colleagues who remain overseas.
I was shocked to read that Bloom died, since I was actually familiar with who he was just by the mention of his name. I don't have much more to say, but still shocked to read this.

Mark "Fight Shark" Miller Returns to Action May 28th Against Nikolaj Falin Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Sometimes you work really hard for something and the payoff isn't immediate, other times you just get lucky and are in the right place at the right now. Other times you wait what feels like a lifetime and have to prove yourself and it can drive you mad. If you've been following K-1 religiously for the past 15 years, you'll know the name Mark Miller. No, I don't mean the IFL Middleweight MMA fighter that competed on UFC's The Ultimate Fighter, but instead the Heavyweight kickboxer who participated in a few of the K-1 Las Vegas Grand Prix tournaments at the turn of the century.
If you don't know Miller you are missing out, not only missing out on an incredible story of overcoming the odds and facing a lot of tough competition, you are missing out on an incredible talent and a great guy. Mark is the first fighter to ever stage a comeback after open heart surgery. I'm not kidding you. Check out the trailer to his upcoming documentary about his trials and tribulations as well as his comeback. After his comeback fight it will be a wrap on the film and it'll be released, telling his awesome story to the world.
His opponent is stiff competition in Nikolaj Falin, who many should know as the fighter who competed in the first round of the GLORY World Series against Gokhan Saki. If you saw that fight you know that he is no slouch at all and will absolutely be game competition for the man who was once talking with Kazuyoshi Ishii about being the American face of K-1 with both men in agreement that he was the future for American kickboxing.
This fight goes down May 28th at the Ultimate GLORY World Series final round as a K-1 Heavyweight Superfight. This fight will be huge for Miller and in the world of fighting this is absolutely a first as a fighter returns from open heart surgery and is doing so in tip-top shape.

AOTC, Yoda and the Clone Pilots save the day:
Yoda (to Pilot 1): Around the survivors, a perimeter, make.
Pilot 1 (to Pilot 2): What the he!! did he say?
Pilot 2 (to Pilot 1): Beats me. Who is that little guy anyway?
Pilot 1 (to Pilot 2): I don't know, but he kinda creeps me out. Hey look (pointing to the survivors in the arena), we better create a perimeter around those survivors, or there won't be many left when this is over.

Big Box Backlash
The Stealth Campaign at the World Trade Organization to Preempt Local Control Over Land Use
Click here to download the entire report.
As communities across the United States and elsewhere are increasingly successful in their effort to limit "big box" store expansion and destructive retail practices through transparent and accountable measures at the local level, Wal-Mart and other retailers have pursued rules at the World Trade Organization (WTO) which threaten to preempt, or at the very least chill, these local laws. These rules are part of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).
In 1994, the United States committed retail and wholesale distribution, as well as the hotel and restaurant sectors, to the terms of the GATS, one of 17 Uruguay Round agreements enforced by the Geneva-based World Trade Organization (WTO). The GATS' expansive "market access" rules are geared toward facilitating the entry of foreign service providers into the U.S. market by incorporation or acquisition of U.S. firms. These GATS rules forbid limits on the number of services suppliers, as well as measures that would reduce the value of a service transaction or limit the number of employees. Policies containing economic needs tests, like that in the city of Los Angeles for very large retail operations, are explicitly forbidden.
Unless the United States takes action to fix this problem in the current round of negotiations, local governments could see challenges to state and local land use laws brought before WTO tribunals, which are empowered to authorize trade sanctions against countries that refuse to conform their domestic policies to WTO dictates. Across the country, state and local officials are working to put laws in place to protect their communities, their environment, their wage base and tax dollars by putting land use limits on "big box" retailers, as well as retail chains and other development projects they deem destructive to the community or the environment or out of step with local needs and planning.
Among the local laws threatened by GATS rules are those that impose:

Mega-Retailers Lobbying Documents
Take Action
Trade negotiators are now working behind closed doors to add more service sectors and expand the scope of the GATS rules even further. This WTO expansion of power means a group of trade officials, rather than democratically elected policy-makers, will be making decisions about local laws that affect our communities.

Game Over for Automatic Facebook Tag Suggestion in Europe
In a victory for consumer privacy, Facebook has agreed to suspend the automatic use of its facial-recognition tool in Europe. The tool suggests people to tag in users' photographs when registered users upload them to Facebook pages. Facebook Europe has agreed that by Oct. 15, it will give EU users the choice as to whether to allow the use of facial recognition software.
Copyright in Latin America: New Enforcement Measures Pose Major Threats to Internet Users in Panama and Colombia
Co-authored with Carolina Botero
After years of being one of the most progressive regions in the world in terms of balanced copyright policy, Latin America is unfortunately sliding into copyright maximalism, enacting increasingly restrictive copyright enforcement measures into their federal laws.
While Chile spent years drafting their broad reform to the copyright system along with civil society groups, and Brazil excitedly discussed the reform of copyright law with unprecedented civil society participation to draft a balanced bill, Colombia and Panama have rushed to write and approve new copyright frameworks with drastic consequences for the digital generation. Why is this occurring? It is the result of top-down, harsh implementation of bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with the US, that require nations to enact far more restrictive language than what is found in the US itself.
The government of India has amassed a database of 200 million Indian residents' digital fingerprints, iris scans, facial photographs, names, addresses and birthdates. Yet this vast collection of private information is only a drop in the bucket compared to the volume of data it ultimately intends to gather. The Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI), the agency that administers Aadhaar -- India's Unique Identity (UID) program -- has a goal of capturing and storing this personal and biometric information for each and every one of India's 1.2 billion residents. Everyone who enrolls is issued a 12-digit unique ID number and an ID card linked to the data.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) threatens to regulate and restrict the Internet in the name of enforcing intellectual property (IP) rights around the world, yet the public and civil society continue to be denied meaningful access to the official text and are even kept in the dark about what proposals countries are pushing in this powerful multilateral trade agreement. With users having sent over 80,000 messages to Congress asking them to demand transparency in the TPP using EFF's Action Center, Congress members have been urged into action to uncover the secrecy.
A new project aimed at "countering illegal use of the Internet" is making headlines this week. The project, dubbed CleanIT, is funded by the European Commission (EC) to the tune of more than $400,000 and, it would appear, aims to eradicate the Internet of terrorism.
European Digital Rights, a Brussels-based organization consisting of 32 NGOs throughout Europe (and of which EFF is a member), has recently published a leaked draft document from CleanIT.

I guess it's just me...I wasn't expectin' alot of actor likness on a 3.75" action figure from any company, especially Hasbro. After all...look at the Star Wars human toys. Ironically, I think the "older" Indy from KOTCS wave 2 looks more like Harrison Ford than Raiders version. Then again...maybe I'm just having toy collecting withdrawal waiting for JUly 27th.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Yes! I actually went into the Hagerstown Target a few weeks back to return a couple things and couldn't resist the toy aisle. Low and behold they had the entire wave. I did a happy dance since I wasn't even looking for these and scored them. I'm so glad I didn't pay outrageous prices on ebay. Thanks for looking out for me.Originally Posted by mtriv73
I saw the deluxe figures yesterday and did pick up the one with Indy in the arab outfit & the arc. That one was pretty sweet. I'd really like to get the one with Indy and the horseOriginally Posted by jonthejedi
Saw the "new" Kanor Jax comic pack this morning at a WM in Frederick. They also had the new Joes and finally put out Indy Figs. Despite actually finding some indy figs with good paint jobs, I passed on everything (I wish I'd gotten the HISS driver though.)
I did pick up the Indy with Ark deluxe figure today(hadn't seen it yet) at Columbia, MD Greatland Target. Pretty nice set.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Went to TRU looking for the STAP attack BP which they, of course, did not have. I did find the newest saga legends wave though. For myself I got a neyo, Zev, and a Blackhole stormtrooper (for the black coin.) I picked up a whole set for a friend though.
Not much at retail, but I preordered CW theatrical poster this pm from ShopSW.com. Can't wait for the trailer tomorrow night. Can anyone get a good copy for me & put on DVD somehow???
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
WM finally put the capture of the Tantive IV battlepack on clearance for $15. I picked one up for the troop builders and need to find a creative way to dispose of the vader.
Target, both WM's and TRU have all gotten in waves 1 and 2 this week, but I still haven't seen a black Imperial guard on the shelves. Someone around here (with too much time on their hands to stake out toy aisles) must be army building them.

Upperclass Dining Options & Clubs
Residential Colleges
Many students choose to draw into residential colleges as upperclassmen. All residential college members participate in University meal plans, which can range from full, 21-meal-per-week contracts to shared meal plans with eating club facilities. The Center for Jewish Life also offers kosher dining for upperclassmen.
Upperclass students who choose not to buy a meal contract at a University facility or an eating club are known informally as "independents." Special suites are reserved for groups of independent students who would like in-room kitchen facilities, or access to a nearby shared kitchen. The Independent Student Guide offers information for students who are interested in dining at local restaurants and cooking their own meals.
For students interested in sharing cooking duties with larger groups, student food cooperatives operate at Brown Hall, 2 Dickinson Street (vegetarian) and Laughlin Hall (International Food Co-op).
Though they do not have meal contracts, independent students can eat two free meals per week in the residential colleges.
Eating Clubs
Many juniors and seniors dine at one of the 11 historic eating clubs along Prospect Avenue. Operated by student officers under the auspices of independent alumni boards, the clubs offer social, educational, athletic and community service programs. Five of the clubs offer open membership; a student simply enters a lottery to join. Six of the clubs conduct a member selection process. The clubs sponsor educational and service initiatives through the Princeton Prospect Foundation.
Students living in four-year residential colleges can purchase a shared meal plan that allows them to eat meals in both their eating club and their college. All upperclass students receive two extra meals per week in the residential colleges.

Hey guys. If you are into Lego's, my Target has the Jabba's Sail Barge marked down 50% to $37.48. I had to pick one up since I missed out on the Star Destroyer mark down a month or so ago. You may want to check out your local store
KH - Thanks again for the Chewy. I was happy to find another one to open. Oh, and I did manage to order a McLuke from hasbro. We'll see if it ships!
Fixer, your McChewie went out to you yesterday(Thurs.).
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
All I've seen recently is the remnants of 2 wave 3 cases and a few more saga legends figures (I think we should start calling this line "power of the repack" or "pegwarmers of the force.")
I'm looking forward to some new stuff hitting soon.
I hear you mtriv. It's actually been kinda nice with nothing showing up. My wallet is a little heavier because of that
When is your baby due again?
August 5th, we had our hospital tour sunday and I got the border up in his room this weekend also. All I need to do is buy some diapers and we're set.
WM on 26 has an endcap display with figures now. I've picked up 4 of the new stormtroopers in the last week and a Jawa. From what I've read, I think I must be the only person here who actually likes the new stormtroopers. Oh well, more for me.

Return of the hand
In recent years, some of the most exciting aesthetic experiments that have kept the Australian street art scene kicking indicate a return to a number of traditional art forms. In contrast to the monumental, heroic and often ultra‑masculine characteristics of much graffiti and street art, many artists are now choosing to use hand‑drawn and painted posters, cut paper, watercolour, linocuts, etching and paper collage to express themselves in multiple styles that have formed the newest chapter in Australian street-inspired creativity. Setting up a deliberate opposition between the fast‑paced, noisy rush of the concrete city and the delicate and often labour‑intensive creations of the human hand, many of these works focus on the fragility of paper creativity, on decay, and on decorative patterns and surface detail. In moving into the gallery space, this group of artists has found new inspiration in folk and popular art. Artists are developing imagined narratives and using dreams, nightmares and childhood fantasies as their subject matter.
We are now at an exciting point of transition between street and gallery that has been successfully navigated by many artists across the country and internationally. In the gallery system, we are witnessing a complex convergence of several street art forms into something that can be recognised as the next chapter in contemporary art – a hybrid permutation of style and meaning as street art within the gallery context converges with other forms of underground art such as tattooing, graphic novels, toys, punk illustration and hot‑rod Kustom kulture, even knitting. This new manifestation of street-inspired creativity is being redefined and critiqued as lowbrow, Pop Surrealist, neo‑Pop or newbrow forms of contemporary art. Whatever the definition, it is indisputable that the journey from ephemeral to collectable, and from the street to the gallery, is one that is both complex and multifaceted. Street art has launched a multi‑pronged invasion of public space as well as the white cube of the gallery, significantly altering Australian visual culture and announcing the arrival of a new generation of contemporary artists.
The street for me has a spontaneity and an energy about it that is the really enjoyable part of making. Whenever I feel like my gallery work is really lacking something, I go back into the street. You just do spontaneous things in the street that push you in other directions and that is something that I really vibe off. I haven't made a conscious decision to stop doing street art but it is just one of those things that happens every now and then in life. I still live it and still observe it and will keep doing it, but you go through phases…I have had them before and I have come back to it, to start all over again.
Some art is best shown in galleries or in a publication or in a lounge room, and sometimes is best seen in an alley or a train or a doorway or freeway overpass. Some of the most interesting art, is when it is uncategorised or blurs and bleeds into different genres.
As far as street art informs my practice, its energy is what I have tried to harness—colour, rebellion, fun. The roots and energies of the street have been omnipresent but haven't directly influenced the aesthetic. The methods and mediums of street art—spray‑paint, stencilling—have been engaged sporadically, but the outcome has never been a direct copy of what happens on the street. It has been more a definite evolution of an aesthetic into something completely different to what we recognise as street art.
