News Release
Council Roundup: Light rail collaboration, mitigation
Also, building permits extended and human services levy endorsed
After months of disagreement over where a future East Link light rail route should be located south of downtown, City Council members on Tuesday highlighted positive developments.
"We've been in discussions with Sound Transit," Councilmember John Chelminiak announced. "Those (discussions) have focused in particular on the B Segment, and really looking at the question of -- how do we mitigate?"
Councilmembers Jennifer Robertson, Grant Degginger and Claudia Balducci and Mayor Don Davidson all made statements in support of the discussions. Councilmembers Conrad Lee and Kevin Wallace were absent from the meeting.
"I believe that now is the time to engage with Sound Transit in an in-depth and cooperative discussion," Robertson said, "as we have continued to do, to ensure that we have a route that meets Bellevue's high standards and stays true to our best practices."
Common themes expressed by councilmembers Tuesday included the many years of study that have been devoted to light rail, including the work of a 2007 Light Rail Best Practices Committee, and several studies by independent consultants. They also mentioned the need now for cooperation with Sound Transit and for "exceptional mitigation" to address concerns about noise, visual impacts and the effect on traffic.
East Link will run from Seattle, through Mercer Island and Bellevue, to the Overlake area of Redmond.
Sound Transit, the regional agency that will build East Link, is releasing a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) on the project this week. The detailed report builds on the draft EIS, which was released more than two-and-a-half years ago.
The FEIS will address hundreds of questions and comments made by Bellevue citizens, staff and elected officials. Sound Transit's Board of Directors could decide its final preferred alignment for East Link by the end of July.
A majority of the council has favored a B7 light rail route through South Bellevue, paralleling Interstate 90 and I-405 into downtown. Sound Transit has favored a B2M route that would run parallel to Bellevue Way and 112th Avenue Southeast.
Robertson noted that a recent study commissioned by the council indicated a different version of the B7 route, called B7-Revised, would cost more to build than the B2M route.
Degginger said the council had looked at challenges associated with the Bellevue Way/112th Avenue route and how they could be mitigated. "And those are the issues we're looking at now, how might those (challenges) be mitigated in a manner that is consistent with minimizing transportation impacts, minimizing noise, minimizing visual impacts … ."
Councilmember Balducci said, "This is an important and positive direction ... a recognition that we are united and looking for the best result out of this regional investment in the area." Mayor Davidson said, "I support the members that I've heard here tonight, and that we're going to move forward in a very positive manner to try to resolve all the issues around Sound Transit's route."

Building permits extendedTo help developers struggling to launch construction projects in Bellevue during the recession, the council approved an extension on building permits.
With the economic downturn, construction and renovation of residential buildings, office towers and schools throughout the city have come to a grinding halt. Forty-one stalled commercial projects have permits or applications for permits in place. A permit would typically be good for 12 to 18 months.
Council members were concerned that in cases where permits expire before construction has begun, developers would abandon a project rather than face the expense of reapplying for permits.
Now developers will have an additional year for the application process as well as an extra one for issued permits. The council had granted a similar extension last year.
The council passed emergency ordinances, meaning the extensions are effective immediately. The extensions apply to building permits and clearing and grading permits, as well as pending applications for those permits. The time limit was also extended for approved preliminary short plats.

Human services levy endorsed The council endorsed a county human services levy to appear on the Aug. 16 primary election ballot.
King County's Proposition 1, the Veterans and Human Services Levy, which would replace an expiring levy, would fund programs that provide housing and other services to poor families, immigrants and war veterans.
If passed, the five-year levy would continue a rate of 5 cents per $1,000 of assessed value property taxes in 2012, the first year of the tax. A King County homeowner would pay $20 on property with an assessed value of $400,000 in 2012. The levy would authorize annual increases tied to the consumer price index or 1 percent, whichever is greater, with a maximum of 3 percent for five years.
The total annual contribution from Bellevue residents for the levy would be an estimated $1.6 million.
Bellevue programs supported at least in part by the levy include those provided by Imagine Housing, the Eastside Interfaith Social Concerns Council, Friends of Youth, the Eastside Cultural Navigator, the YWCA and Hopelink.

|Yak Attack Kayaks and flyfishing = ultimate stealth
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Actually, Atlanta... but get down to the beach once or twice a month... typically hit Wilmington and points south down to Key West. The wife and I are looking for a move in the near future, "back to the beach". Shouldn't be too hard, since I'm a marine scientist.
BTW, furthering our prior conversation, got an Expedition on ebay last night... 240-cm., carbon all the way (full-black shaft and blades)... brand new from a dealer for less than $150 with shipping. Took your advice, as well as that from DFix... Thanks!
Fly,man. Are you in NC?
Hey y'all, I just took the plunge today & swapped my seldom used custom golf clubs for a new kayak! Yeehaw!
It's the Breeze model from aqua fusion. Only 11' long, but wide with a big cokpit. Can't wait to get 'er wet tomorrow!! Fish on gang! Cheers, Dan'l
|I already tried that. It works well. Haven't fallen down yet.
Getcher check book and go.
For anyone else interested in the Pungo 140
DFix put me onto this review for the P-140... quoted from Paddling.net canoe and kayak reviews...
"Submitted by: dirtydave69
This year Wilderness Systems has completely redesigned one of their most popular products, the Pungo. The changes are extraordinary and it is now known as Velocity Rec Series. The Pungo is now offered in 10, 12, and 14 foot lengths to suit a broader range of paddlers and needs. The 140 is a sleeker, longer and faster version of their popular 12 footer. Wildy has stated that the new Pungo is quicker and more resolute than most true sea kayaks. A claim I have found to be completely correct, but with the generously sized cockpit at 55" x 19" it is easy to get in and out of. Plus it has a comforting secondary stability that will be appreciated by everyone.
I had seen the redesigned Pungo for the first time at the Shallow Water Expo in Pinellas Park and was totally taken by the beauty of it. I had to paddle one! I called Brain Faulk at Canoe Escapes and asked him if he had one in stock for a short test paddle. He in turn asked me if I would like to take the 140 for the weekend on a paddle fishing excursion, a generous offer I could in no way refuse. Brian set me up with a khaki 140 from his fleet of rentals and off I went.
Upon closer inspection in my garage, the first feature I noticed about the 140 was the sleek, almost sea kayak like design of its hull with the same proven multi chine hull of the earlier models. Another improvement includes bow and stern rubber hatches. The rear bulkhead creates a watertight compartment to keep your gear nice and dry. I found this to be a good feature during my paddle tests. In 2 foot seas without a spray skirt paddle drip and spray water accumulated in the cockpit. A half skirt is strongly recommended if you buy this boat to keep spray and paddle drip out. It also serves as a handy work table and stripping basket if you fly fish.
The stowage capacity of the new 140 will suit the needs of anglers and campers. With a weight capacity of 325 lbs. the cavernous hull will swallow up all your fishing gear and a weekends worth of camping equipment with ease, a few 66 rods can even be stowed below the fore deck out of the way.
The entire line of new Pungos come standard with a new seating concept brought out last year by Wilderness called Phase 3. The Phase 3 seat is completely adjustable 3 ways- A tug on the cord at the bottom of the seat raises the back for lateral comfort. The seat back adjusts forward and rearward. A tug on two loops at the side of the seat raise it to comfortably bring your legs up into a more natural position and take the strain off your lower back as you paddle. The Phase 3 seat is as close as you will come to your favorite lounge chair in your own kayak!
The hull on the Pungo 140 is more structurally sound at the deck and coaming area due to reinforcing the coaming area with more plastic in the molding process. The coaming and deck areas no longer compress easy like the earlier models.
Paddling the Pungo was an experience that could not be equaled by any boat in its class. You may say that the 140 is in a class all its own after paddling it for some time. Let me begin by saying this boat is FAST! Very fast and -Oh! Did I say it was fast? The Pungo glides like it is on grease. Faster than the popular Tarpon but slower than a Tempest (the new WS Sea Kayak, really fast, really sleek), I paddled it up current on the Tampa Bypass Canal with the spillways open and it cut through the current like a hot knife through butter. I felt in no danger of spilling out due to the excellent secondary and good initial stability of its hard chine hull.
For a 14 foot kayak it turns with little effort. Let your butt go and give it a slight lean to the outside of the turn with a sweep of your paddle and your going in the direction you intended in short order. I think it turns as well as my 12 foot Pungo which is something a lot of 14 foot boats can not do. Going in a straight line is easy too! This kayak tracks as if it was on rails with no tendency to yawl along its horizontal axis between paddle strokes.
As a fishing platform the Pungo excels in many ways. The load and bulk carrying capacity of this kayak is unmatched. It is dry as a bone (with a half skirt). This makes it an excellent winter time and cold water kayak. It can be easily rigged with a basic set-up of rod holders and anchor cleats or none at all. You can fish this one right off the dealers rack as the rods can sit securely behind the seat if you wish not to drill any holes in the hull. The 140 will be home in the backwaters as well as the flats in any season.
At the end of the day, a lot of paddlers will find the Pungo more manageable to car top than most SOTs. Weighing in at 50 lbs, the Pungo is ideal for female paddlers as well as us old salts.
In conclusion I think Wilderness Systems has a real winner here in many ways with a kayak that will appeal to a lot of paddle anglers, not only in Florida, but nation wide. If I had one of these when I lived up north, then no Striped Bass or Bluefish would have been safe. The Pungo 140 is a complete pleasure to paddle and Wilderness Systems is known for putting out some quality products for just that-paddling pleasure, the 140 is sure to please even the most experienced paddler.

There are a few other reviews on that page similar to this one in overall message, though the content is shorter...
Cape Horn 17.
Wife's about to get a Pungo 140 and I have a Pamlico tandem. She'll smoke me in her new one.
I'm a recovering canoe-ist. Every day is a struggle not to fall off the wagon (boat trailer) and join you guys again.
I've seen these before on the web...never in person though. Actually, IIRC, someone last year posted a picture of it admist the "shark attack frenzy". Definitely looked interesting, I think that there are some movies on the web that show it in action, I'll see if I can dig any up. Was a really neat thing though.
Having only been in a yak once, this Jan in the Keys and without much experiance to show for it. (I fell out), it was only about 18"s deep but muddy as hell! I now have much more respect for Striblue!
I was watching a show this morning where Hank Parker was fishing some river with a yak, Hobie with pedals and a rudder. This was not your ordinary paddle wheel type arangement, it had flippers on the bottom that worked back and forth. This thing could move pretty well, and was hands free to fish. The flippers could fold up against the hull and he was in areas with about 4's of water.
Anyone else get a look at this type of rig?
Roop has a better way to get your boat to the water on Brewster...
WS Tarpon - the 16ft version - Blue - love it to bits - just wish it was 20lb lighter
Pick up Roleez moon wheels at the end of last season and did a test drive in the back yard - simply awesome plus they fit inside the hatch when dismantled! Can't wait to try them for real.
Did I hear someone say Brewster Flats?
|Mad River 16' Duckhunter and a low-viz tan marshgrass Pungo. Yeah, I know. But I don't go where the cigarette boats go.

Sumsin (feat. Frannie Buckles) - Sexpot Riddim
Maybe it's the gorgeous weather today, or maybe it's some under the skin-surface desires, but if you look at the last two posts, and then top it off with this "third in a row of tropical riddim rad radness", you'll see a bit of a trend emerging. We already know my love of beastly riddims, but London boy Sumsin just went and tossed us "sumthin sexy"...nay, sexpot. Wipes brow emphatically now.
The latest in his socamerenguetek-stylings, Sexpot Riddim is a steamy and slinky filled with the whispery coos, oohs and aahs, courtesy of Frannie Buckles. It's like a smoothly minimalistic sense-pleaser with cat-like purrs and pauses.
I can't talk any more about this, because I'd need to excuse myself to a dark dance floor. Or the like.
Equally awesome is his Socasummerengue mix, which is an hour of upbeat tropically-funky beats. Alright, now back to our regularly scheduled beastliness.

Chira Wichaisuthikul Lumpini Documentary Trailer
- Written by Dave Walsh
Chira Wichaisuthikul is releasing a documentary about Thai boxers at Lumpini. The documentary, set to be released this March 2011, follows a number of school-aged fighters.
I liked hearing eight to ten year old people talk about their experiences in the ring and their perceptions of fighting. For instance, the subtitled description of Muay Thai we hear at 1:36 strikes at very essential parts of the sport.
It's also cool to see kids causing a ruckus.

A familiar phase heard around my Troop. The universal sign to quiet down and pay attention in Scouting is when someone raises their hand with the Scout sign. It usually takes a second or two.. but then the roar dulls, the whispers stop, and all eyes are focused on the leader that is standing quietly right arm raised.
The Scouts typically say, when they see the sign go up.. "See one..Show one". It is a simple phrase that means see the sign.. give the sign.. and quiet down. It is a reminder to show the leader some respect and do as instructed.
Tonight while I was on my drive home, I was forced to take a detour. The detour took me through a part of town, that lets just say I would not frequent otherwise. Without being racial or paint a picture with too broad a brush, the residents of this area are often associated with less than desirable activity.. Every town has this part of town… and all of you can relate having watched at least a segment of any major cities news cast.
As I drove I was suddenly stopped at an intersection. Police cars, lights flashing at all corners. One officer directing traffic as to avoid the goings on at the North East corner of the block. My window was down and the officer asked if I could "just sit tight" for a minute. I nodded and turned down the radio to hear the ruckus. A young man came from across the street yelling at the police officer. The language that flew from his mouth would make a merchant marine blush.
He kept yelling "Why don't you show us some respect? Why don't you show us some respect?"
The officer, very cool and collected turned to the young man. When they were about ten feet apart, the officer said in a calm voice, "I will show you respect when you show me respect."
I thought to myself BINGO.. that is all we really can expect.
See one…show one.. its all about respect.
When a leader shows those he leads respect by not yelling and screaming.. those that follow will act accordingly. When we use the Scout sign to still the crowd, the crowd recognizes the sign and complies with it. The leader respects the led in his calm approach, telling the group that he respects them enough to treat them like mature people that are will to listen.
This young man, obviously angry and emotional did not take the time to think about his actions.
It has been said that you catch more bees with honey. The police officer was just there to maintain some order.. he did not need the profanity that was thrown at him, he does not deserve that on any day. When we act in a way that is inappropriate we get a like response.
Kudos to the Portland Police officer that defused that situation with a kind and gentle approach. It was not what the young man wanted to hear.. but I think it stunned him non the less.
The officer is right.. show me some respect.. not as an officer of the law.. but as a man.. a human.. a fellow citizen, and I will show you the same.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Rebels have landed.
Or perhaps migrated.
Back in a bowl for the first time since 2009, Ole Miss arrived by bus New Years evening at the Sheraton hotel near the Civic Center, the team's headquarters for the next several days as they continue preparation for the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Kickoff against Pittsburgh at Legion Field is at noon Saturday. It will be televised by ESPN.
The game's late date in the bowl season provided for a non-traditional arrival. Usually players are returning from Christmas break and are left to find their own way to the bowl city. The Rebels had a week off for Christmas and returned to practice four days on campus before traveling on Tuesday.
Some players were allowed to drive based on their plans for immediately after the game. Those on the bus watched other SEC teams in bowl games.
"We enjoyed hanging out and watching those games. It kind of made the trip short," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. "That's what I would have been doing at home; most of us would have."
Morning workout
Players and coaches will attend the Fellowship of Christian Athletes breakfast this morning and will practice at 11 a.m., at Birmingham Southern College. They will work at BSC again on Thursday before a walk-through at Legion Field on Friday.
Pittsburgh is making its third-straight trip to the BBVA Compass Bowl. The Panthers will stay at the Wynfrey in Hoover and practice at Hoover High School.
Ole Miss and Pitt have never met on the football field. Both teams are 6-6.
Freeze doesn't expect a problem helping his players experiencing a bowl game for the first time balance focus and fun.
"We just want to be who we are. Our No. 1 rule is to protect our football team in all things," he said. "Then we treat others the way we want to be treated. The whole thing with football to us, our philosophy, is that we enjoy it."

Depends on what you call "quality". I assume you are speaking from a first world point of view, regarding nutrition values, calories, fat, salt and whatnot. Sure, ol'McD [sorry] isn't as healthy as a whole-food salad and salmon plate. But compared to street food found in most 3rd world countries, a Big Mac is usually safer.

VeriSign sucks. Due to their recent decision to add a wildcard address to the .com and .net domains, I have decided that I can no longer trust them. This means that the certs that come with my browsers are a liability instead of an asset. I have now removed VeriSign Certificates from my browser and will now bug various business to have there certificate signed by another source. So far I will need to contact Bank of America and SprintPCS.
Yeh, I know it's been a long time that I've written a diary entry, but things have been a bit interesting in my life. I don't even have the excuse of not enough time since I was unemployed most of last year (almost 8 months), and am again unemployed this year.
First, it's been a yera and a half since my last confession^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hentry. The big changes in my life is that I've visited my girl friend in Thailand three times, and have now asked her to marry me. So, at the begining of Feburary, I'm going to be heading back to Chiang Mai, Thailand to get married. I am very happy about this. It'll be good to finally get things worked out, but I'm dreading handling all the visa work the US Government requires. It's a headache.
Second, as everyone knows, SBC Pacbell sucks. I tried to order DSL from sonic.net which resells/provides Pacbell DSL service. The line was suppose to be installed on Dec 12th. No dice. I talked with Pachell on Monday (the 16th) and find out that they hadn't even hooked up my line (they didn't recieve any readings on my line). The night I ask my girl friend to marry me, so I realize that I don't need DSL if I'm going to be moving in a month and a half. I call up sonic.net to cancle my order on the 17th. Pachell decides to wait a week and not cancle the service till the 24th, and tries to charge me for a week and a half of no service. I just filed my complaint today, so we'll see if I get my money back. Don't they know that simply maintaining the network doesn't make them God? If you run a business you have to provide service.
Third, as alluded to above, I'll be back in the job market , looking for either work I can do remotely, or for when I get back from Thailand, probably around May.
Hmm, that's all for now, just ignore me, might be a while again before I post.
Oh, did you know that CNN has redefied that 1 kilogram is equal to .45 pounds instead of the normal 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds? Check out the article 32 years since a 'giant leap for mankind' where it says:
Six missions brought back valuable data and about 400 kilograms -- 181.8 pounds -- of lunar soil and rock.
When will we learn basic math?
SourceForge is anoying. I submitted a request for a project, and had it promptly rejected (like 2-4 hours after I requested it). They give you no reason why they reject it. If you want to know why they rejected it, you have to submit a support request. It's been two days since I submitted my support request and haven't heard back from them yet. I hadn't requested a project before and didn't really want to because they only have a web interface (not that I expect them to have another interface). So, I'll probably just keep going how I am with my "little" libraries that I've done.
Also, it seems strange that a project like mine would get rejected when there are so many projects that have existed for a while but yet to contain any content. It's anoying searching for a project on SourceForge because you'll think you have this project that you can use, but then find out that it has exist for the past year, but there hasn't been anything done with it.
Oh well.
Coding takes many years to do right. Even I can't get stuff to look decent in a few hours. I've spent a few hours on a 150 line Python script that does freqency counting, and the code lay out looks like crap! I've only been doing Python for two years now, and am no where near being good at it. I have been doing C for 10 years, and it took me a good 5+ years before I considered myself fluent. You don't get good over night, you have to spend many hours working on different projects just doing what you want to. You'll learn to code better as time goes on. Also, don't forget to read other peoples code too, you'll get ideas on how to better do stuff this way too.
gary: Yes, there is work on NFSv4. Last year at Usenix there was a presentation by one of the engineers on Sun and I do believe that they are working on making nfs a "secure" network file system. That means certificates and all that jazz. So, you can dig around on the Usenix site, or even take a look at Sun's site for something like: Sun Microsystems Gives Key Component of Network File System (NFS) to the Open Source Community it provides a nice link to NFSv4 Open Source Reference Implementation which says that they want to have a IETF complient NFSv4 system running on the Linux kernel by the end of the month. Hope that helps!
I was about to say it's been a few months since I last posted an entry, but I notice that it hasn't even been a month. Oh well, things are about normal, besides having Netscape 4.76 (Solaris) grow to almost 500megs eating up all the swap and memory. That's about the most exciting thing that's happened.
Does anyone know of a program that adds/edits the EXIF info on JPEG files? I've seen libraries used to read them, but I haven't seen any to write them. I resize my photos and then I loose that information which can be useful. It'd be nice to keep that information will the picture. Maybe I should finally get around to writing my own JPEG image library. It'd be fun to learn all the nasty details of the JPEG file format, and the things you can do w/o having to decompress/recompress the image.
Guess I'll be headed home so that I can go to martial arts class.
When I was at home over the weekend, I saw the book that was the third book I couldn't remeber. It is Ringworld Throne by Larry Niven. It was ok, I liked the earlier Ringworld books better. I just didn't get into it.
Oh well, it's interesting dealing with Sun Enterprise stuff if you haven't ever delt with it before. Learning about disk trays and all that fun jazz. Do they ever take a LONG time to POST too.
Interesting article on Thailand's sexual reputation, though I think that not all of it made it. Could you post the rest? or email it to me? Thanks.
Well, I haven't written a diary entry in some time. I can't claim that I've been busy, because I really haven't, though I have started a new job a Azanda Network Devices. I'm now their CAD Tool Manager. They are a startup doing QoS on silicon for OC192 and OC768 speeds. Things are going well, need to decide how much of a job I want to make this into, but my experience at my last job, Credence is definately helpful.
I've also read a few books. Most recent is Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. A very good read. I read it over the weekend. Previous to that I read Memoirs of a Geisha which helped me realize how many misconceptions I had about geisha. I forget the book I read before that, but it wasn't as good as the previous too, so I don't feel to bad about not remebering it.
Thanks for the link to the OpenSource PKI Book. I've been thinking of bring up a site where instead of passwords, I use certificates. The only problem is that I had issues with getting pyCA to work, and none of the documents out there tell you how to take the public key generated by Netscape (by using keygen) and create the required document for import into Netscape. There's plenty of other documentation, but they seem to think you should already know how to do it, and completely ignore it. Oh well, I haven't made any progress on the site in the months since I decided to start working on it, I'll probably just end up having to use crappy username/password for it.
Also, don't forget that if the decks get too out of order a person will likely compensate with a longer run, so you have to add in a compensation for how many cards are remaining. As an avid card player (and one who hasn't developed a perfect shuffle), I have a decent idea on how it works. Also, don't assume that you'll always have a run of at least one card. Plenty of times a person messes up and skips a card between two runs of the other deck. So, I'd add a modifier to p depending upon the difference between the two remaining decks. Just my thoughts.

You are here
Tristan, Sunday, May 24
"Merry Christmas," Merrill Benfield greeted us after we walked into Tristan's main dining room from the entry, where we chatted briefly with a tired but satisfied looking chef Aaron Deal, who had just wrapped up a private dinner upstairs for the members of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Merry Christmas…eh? Elisabeth and I felt like we'd just stepped into the middle of an inside joke, since we arrived about an hour and some change late to Lawson Roberts' party for the troop after a late curtain dropped on Don John (by the way, if you haven't managed to get your hands on tickets to the show, steal from your grandmother if you have to, but by all means don't miss it). Merry Christmas? "We've been on Merrill's boat for the Rolls club," explained Todd White, who visits Merrill about once a year from his vineyard, Napa Valley Farms, in St. Helena California. "There's been a slow drip of alcohol all day," he continued. "The drip has just been faster for some."
Nearby we ran into Mitchell Crosby. "Have you met Juan Carlos and Gerald yet? You must meet them. They just moved here from New York and bought a house on Pitt Street and they're characters."
When has Mitchell ever steered us wrong? So we set out to meet Juan Carlos Tamarit and Gerald Dabbs, who have indeed just moved here from New York (and the Hamptons, and Provence, and I can't remember where else). "We're having an impromptu Memorial Day lunch for about 70 tomorrow," Juan Carlos said. "You have to come."
We got to talk for awhile with Alvin Ailey's Yusha-Marie Sorazo, who, having grown up in Miami, has been enjoying Charleston's humidity (seriously, she has been). She raved about dinner at Tristan and about the Charleston food scene in general (dancers, unlike models, really do eat, it appears). She's also appreciated Charleston's other charms, and vows to get back down here as soon as possible when she's not punching the timeclock.
Our host, Lawson, who was milling about the room, paused long enough for me to shoot his picture with Yusha and other members of the troop. Then we talked for a bit with Julianne and George Khoury. Julianne was looking relaxed and in good spirits after chairing Saturday evening's gala. Which reminded us that it seemed like days since we'd slept, so we decided to call it a night before the next round of parties, starting with Mitchell Crosby's after party for Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet this coming Saturday. See you there.

JOEL W. SLOANE "Dreamscapes"
Gratz College Leona P. Kramer Gallery
January 13th to February 28th
Opening Reception:
Tuesday, January 28th, 6:30-8:30 pm
About Joel Sloane
My art and experience as an artist has evolved over the past seven years through my participation at the Whitemarsh Art Center in Lafayette Hill. As a board director and former president, I focused my efforts on growing and expanding the Art Center as a community resource.
In recent years I have been developing digital art inspired by spiritual teachings and symbols found within Judaism and other world traditions. My work can be seen as a blending of paths, drawing on archetypal and natural forms to bring beauty and peace into the world.
I encouraged people to take time to develop their own personal creativity and self-expression through art education. Support the Arts with your appreciation, money and most importantly with your own involvement with the Arts and the process of Creation.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Jasper Morrison is one of today's most influential industrial designers. He is renowned for his elegant and straightforward style. Born in London in 1959, Morrison studied at the Royal College of Art in London. He pursued further studies at the Hochschule der Kunste in Berlin on a fellowship. In 1986 he founded his own design studio in London.
Jasper Morrison became a leading figure of "New Simplicity", a movement that advocated a more modest and also more serious approach to design. In addition to furniture, he has also created lamps, home accessories, textiles, a tram system for the city of Hanover, Germany, and a bus shelter for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein.View other products by Jasper Morrison


text: Narcissus rejected the love of all, including the love of the nymph Echo and for his cruelty was condemned by the god Nemesis to drown while admiring his own reflection. Employing dramatic naturalism, Caravaggio places the lone figure in a strong, clear light, close to the frame to bring the viewer from the real world to this mythological event. Narcissus' hand is about to cup the water. The artist probably painted directly on the canvas without preliminary drawings.

Lisa Ann Wenger
COTTAGE GROVE - Lisa Ann Wenger, age 43, passed away on Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
Lisa was born in Madison on Oct. 6, 1969, to Dale and Judy Wenger. Lisa attended Deerfield and graduated from Monona Grove High School in 1989.
Lisa is survived by her loving and devoted parents of Cottage Grove; her loving sister, Tara (Rick) Cooley of Marshall; her nieces she adored, Lexi and Megan Kampen, Nala, Angels Gracie and Ella Cooley; aunts and uncles, cousins, family members and friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held at THE TOWN HALL, 4058 County Road N, Cottage Grove, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 24, 2013.

Special thank you to UW Hospital Staff and Middleton EMS.
Lisa loved spending time with family and friends, shopping (especially at Bath and Body), going out to eat and to the movies.
"Lisa, we will think of you every time we see the color pink, our phones ring or text messages come through. We will miss your cute, quirky, and clever sayings, such as "Wide open like a parked car," "As old as a cat's tail," "Spending money like a zookeeper," and "The inside of this car smells like a wet border collie!" You had a deep laugh and a big, beautiful smile. Thank you, Lisa Ann for touching so many lives in such a short time. We will forever remember all the great memories together. You will be deeply missed."
Lyrics by Chris Daughtry - "I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I'm going home. I'm going home."
Lyrics by Bon Jovi - "Never say goodbye, you and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end. Holdin' on, we got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye."

Jackson, who teaches a legendary course on the history of New York, will speak on "Jewish Metropolis: The Past and Future of New York City."
Sessions will run from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday and from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday in Bobst Hall. Click here to see a complete schedule .

Crackpots and Disasters
- fzort,
as fair warning, you might consider me as one of those "religious wackos"
that you dislike, but not every wacko is the same. If I may be so bold,
I'd suggest that you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
The "bathwater" here being the Christians who are giving you all the
reason you seem to need to hate their God.
If God exists, who do you think He would be more angry at: a person who makes over a million dollars a year, who may even claim to be a Christian, and still has most of it in his bank account at the end of the year; or a poor Haitian who practices voodoo?
I think this is a difference that a lot of us "religious wackos" miss. If we are somehow blessed with plenty in the western world, that is not evidence that God is rewarding us for something good we've done. Rather, it is proof that we are doing a piss-poor job at the responsibility God has given us to take care of the poor. And if any of these Christians read the Bible, they should take note of the parts that indicate that rich people who don't share are actually storing up judgment for themselves in the very wealth they take comfort in. Their riches are their judgment. That cool thousand, million, or billion in the bank will be a liability at the last day.
Don't assume someone is a Christian just because they claim to be. And by that same token, don't assume that God is pleased with Christians just because they claim He is.
If I understand the Bible correctly, North America could easily be more hell-worthy than Japan or Haiti, in the same way that Jerusalem in Jesus's day was more hell-worthy than Sodom and Gomorrah.

Would greatly appreciate any word from the Sagehens trial, especially the Qualifying ( and Derby, tomorrow). Thanks, Bill.
The beginning is often scary, the end is usually sad, but fortunately, it's the middle that counts the most.
OPEN CALLBACKS: Total 47
2,3,4,8,11,12,14,17,18,19,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,29, 30,31,32,35,36,37,38,39,40

Scratches 5,13,61,64,67
The only thing I heard about the Quaifying is that they finished the land blind today and about 11 are going to the water blind tomorrow morning. Don't have the numbers. Derby will start when the Q finishes.
The Open and the Amateur had somewhat similar tests in that they each had two tight marks on the left with either a hip pocket or reverse hip pocket configuration and a third mark off to the right.
In the Open, the first bird down was the long middle retired mark thrown left to right followed by a shorter retired on the left thrown left to right and then a flyer on the right also shot left to right and out about the same distance as the other marks. The callbacks were given above. The second series starts tomorrow with dog number 19.
The Amateur had a long bird on the right thrown first from left to right and behind a thick row of tules that the dogs had to punch through. The second bird down was the middle distance bird in the middle thrown right to left and falling at the base of a dike with thick cover on the slope of the dike. The short flyer was shot right to left from the top of the same dike into a channel of water on the other side and sluiced. The line was near the base of the dike on the side opposite from where the flyer fell. Other than the dogs that broke on the flyer, the middle bird at the base of the dike proved difficult for most dogs. The line to it was difficult to hold and most dogs ended up backsiding the brushed up holding blind or hunting behind the holding blind before working their way to the area of the bird. There was some hunting on the long bird as well as many dogs hunted short in dragback before punching through the tules.
Amateur callbacks (39 dogs):
2,4,6,7,9,10,11,13,14,15,19,21,22,26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 53, 55, 56
The second series starts tomorrow with dog 28.
Any word on "Ten", dog #17 and, I believe the youngest dog, in the Qual? Did he make it to the water blind?
The beginning is often scary, the end is usually sad, but fortunately, it's the middle that counts the most.
1st #29 Dove, H/ Eric Fangsrud
2nd #13 Musket, H/ Jerry Patopea
3rd# 3 Cooper, H/ Bill Totten
4th# 21 Riley, H/ Michael O'Bannon
RJ#28 Bo,H/ Michael Palazzolo
The Amateur ran a double blind with the short one being down the road on top of the dike with the flyer crates and gunner in white coat sitting in the middle of the road. The dogs had to pass through a narrow slot between the crates and the heavy brush on the edge on the dike. The long blind angled off the dike through the brush at the edge and under the arc of the middle mark from yesterday.
Callbacks to the 3rd series (31 dogs):
6,9,10,13,14,15,21,22,26,28,30,31,32,,34,35,36,37, 38,39,42,43,44,46,47,48,49,50,52,53,55,56
Third series starts with dog 42.

The Amateur started running a water blind with a poison bird but nearly every dog was coming back with the poison bird. So the judges scrapped the test and moved to a new location to start another poison bird blind. This one angles gradually across a boomerang shaped channel to a point on the left where the poison bird gunners are sitting. They have thrown a poison bird down a plateau above the shore on the back side of the point. The point has been scented, and boards were placed on it marking the location above which the dogs must be to be considered on line. After crossing the point above the boards and past the gunners, the line re-enters the water and gradually angles back across the channel to the bird on the far bank. This blind is proving to be difficult as several dogs have picked up the poison bird while others have arrived at the end of the blind and picked up the bird but have had problems enroute. I'm guessing about half the dogs were run before the judging stopped at about 4:30 or so to resume in the morning at 7:30. Dog #22 will start.

THAT Count Leo Tolstoi makes his own boots, and gives away parcels of his ancestral land, is known to all cosmopolitan readers. Wherever has spread the fame of his great novels, the story has followed of his personal eccentricities. But the reason is far to seek, and even a careful perusal of the book in which he has embodied it does not render it easy to understand.
He begins by painting the misery of the poor in Moscow—and more penetrating pages have never been written. Unfortunately, the very poor are perforce dumb creatures. Not the cotter's son, who becomes a missionary; nor the lad who runs away to become Captain Cook; nor yet the traditional boy with half‐a‐crown, who comes to London, and sells his cat to the King of Morocco. But the real poor of the slums; or the lowest women, or the convicts at page: 253 Portland. They are dumb; more dumb than the dog that runs after you, or the cat that rubs itself against your knee. How on earth should they speak! and if they did speak, who on earth could bear to listen? Their language is a very veil. They hide themselves in slang. Fifty years ago Harrison Ainsworth wrote a book called "Jack Sheppard." And a certain little schoolboy caught up a song from its comparatively harmless pages—for, after all, it was the fancy portrait of a criminal by a man of letters. I can see the nursery fire and the tea table, and the bread and butter spread with fine brown sugar, and hear the little impish voice singing gaily, "In the box of a 'stone‐jug' I was born." The little gentleman had not the remotest conception of the reality of which he was singing, any more than his great‐nephew, fifty years later, can have of the choice expression, "blooming blazes." Have we ever really taken it into our minds that the lowest class of all our fellow‐creatures have a language of their own—a detritus, not a new growth? It needs a genius to divine and translate it. Count Leo Tolstoi has managed to do it. Whatever be the real page: 254 state of things in Moscow, he has so described it as to make his readers shudder at the picture, and wonder why in primitive Russia the same things should be reproduced to which we are supposed to be accustomed in Bethnal Green. Siberia and slavery, the convict prison and the knout, the gorgeous court and the communal village—all these are the properties of the Russian mise en scène. But a slum one does not expect.
And Tolstoi describes, with his accustomed power, many attempts on his part to mend the slums. Being a noble, and a man of great worth and reputation, he persuaded the authorities to help him. And for his pains he got cheated and worried, and the gigantic mass of human misery loomed up before him as big as ever. The pages read like extracts from the diary of Lord Shaftesbury or Mr. Frederick Charrington, with a literary sprinkling of Sir Walter Besant. The more he plunged up against the seething people, the oftener he recoiled worsted. Something could have undoubtedly been done by building a People's Palace in a bad part of the Russian city. But, after all, only the decent poor would frequent its learned halls, and the poor page: 255 who have fallen from all sense of decency go on multiplying in its immediate neighbourhood. So the Palace does real good to ten thousand people out of a rough total of three millions, who are either deplorably poor or on the immediate verge of becoming so.
Tolstoi also confesses that he was inwardly conscious of his own benevolent kindness, and regarded himself with modest approval as a benefactor of the poor. Till, one day, seeing that he made no real way, he suffered a spiritual revolution. It was borne in upon him that it was useless to try and help others, because he was himself a thief! Well, yes, a thief, who had spent his life in thieving. His coat and his cloak—to take the biblical expressions—and his silver cigar‐case, and the nicely bound books in his library, and the horse he rode, to say nothing of the lands his father had left him, had all been made by the labour of other people, and, however complicated had been the process of stealing, stolen they were.
At the first presentation this idea is almost unthinkable. It is so alien to all one's notions of the relation between capital and labour, so destructive of the sacred principle of saving, of page: 256 thrift, so absolutely condemned by the first quarter of an hour's walk in Oxford Street, that the mind refuses to grasp it. After sleeping upon it for a fortnight certain considerations emerge as follows as intended by Tolstoi.
A man can scarcely make to grow by the actual work of his hands more than he requires for his own sustenance and that of his family. And a woman can scarcely do more in a day than the necessary cooking, washing, and sewing required for the family. If either of them can save a surplus with which to buy somebody else's labour, it must at first be a tiny surplus; but if by superior cleverness this surplus is made to roll up, it becomes little by little an engine of dire oppression, and ought to be put down by law. It is already forbidden to use your mechanical knowledge in certain directions. You may not race steam carriages through the Strand. You may certainly not invent a machine with claws capable of carrying off all the cats in the country. If, unhappily, you are a giant, even though you were Gog and Magog, it is doubtful whether you would be allowed to contract for the exclusive sweeping of the City streets. Neither, says page: 257 Tolstoi, ought you to construct that monster, a baby capital—the Frankenstein creation of modern days. When it is in swaddling clothes it will be only equal to opening a small shop, but as it fattens and fattens it will grow big enough to start a store, and presently, when it is quite a grown‐up young capital, it will build a mill, and will buy up an army of workers, whom it will enslave almost as if they were blacks, and make them work for it, and at last, like the starling, they "can't get out." But mind well, its endings are but the natural growth of its beginnings. You must not save your first shilling with any view to personal aggrandisement. Saved capital is like the imp in the "Lay of the Last Minstrel"—as soon as it can get a voice it will be heard by the attentive ear to be shrieking "Lost, lost, lost!" It is not the offspring of honest labour—it is a devil which has taken its place.
I have tried to disentangle from Count Tolstoi's wonderfully eloquent pages the thoughts which logically underlie them. St. Paul will help you to make your own boots, and St. Matthew will forbid you to keep your own coat if anybody wants it. Holy poverty, or, at least, page: 258 the holding of riches as though you had them not, has been a counsel of Christianity from the very first. But the extremely intricate mechanism of modern industrial life, and the problem of the middlemen and the sweater, require definite thought, if they are touched at all. And the fundamental idea of Tolstoi is that the very first accumulations of capital are wrong.

This is the system used for describing how computer hardware interacts with programming, commands, inputs, and outputs. MIPS Technologies , a company that operates an ISA called MIPS, said that the Chinese government is hoping to either approve of a newly created ISA or build off of an existing one.

text: Back to fish. I was in my local supermarket the other day at the fish counter. Someone from one of the local restaurants was there too. I was buying tilapia and she said they didn't buy tilapia anymore since they "knew" things about it. She then proceeded to buy Pangasius that said right on the label "product of Vietnam". Wish I had read this article before I saw her. I bought the pangasius myself a while back and really didn't like it.

I don't have PSE7 but when my program starts acting flaky I shut my computer down and unplug for a bit. I think it has to do with exhausting the RAM, and by rebooting, it resets. If that doesn't help, maybe check the Adobe site to see if this is a problem for others too. You can also uninstall PSE7 and reinstall it. If you do that, make sure you have saved your purchased styles, actions, etc. so you can install them again. I hope you are able to get it working!
