ZZ Top in Ottertail? Rock concerts could be coming this summer
Rock fans may get to see and hear some of their favorite music legends close to home this summer, if the dream of an Ottertail Concert Series comes true.
Brad Morgan and his partner Marv Anderson are the two guys behind the proposed venture. Morgan attended the Feb. 21 meeting of the Ottertail City Council to share his vision for the concert series and request the council's support.
"It's a way to get tourism into the community and it's something that we really believe in," Morgan explained.
He and Anderson would like to use the tractor pull park area to provide open-air entertainment to the public with well-known bands from the 1970s and early '80s era.
Although the actual bands have not been determined yet, a list of possibilities Morgan provided included names such as REO Speedwagon, Stevie Nicks, Steely Dan, Kansas, Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, and ZZ Top.
Potential dates for the concerts haven't been set yet, but the plan is to hold three separate shows.
Morgan said the city would be paid $3,000 per show as a rental fee. A percentage of the net profits from the concert series will also be paid to the city at the conclusion of the season.
He asked the city of Ottertail to provide the venue, park lighting, and electricity (the cost of which would be absorbed by the Ottertail Concert Series). A request was also made to have a couple of firemen and a fire truck stationed at the pull park during the concerts as preventative measures.
"We'll pick up the bill on their time," Morgan mentioned.
Members of the council raised a few questions regarding liability for the events. Morgan assured that he would be covering all of the necessary insurance for the concerts. Permits will also be required for the food and alcohol sales.
"We figure there will be around 800 vehicles," Morgan said.
The Ottertail Concert Series will have a limit of 2,500 tickets available for the comfort of the attendees. VIP tickets will be offered.
Addressing concerns about the impact of the concerts on city residents, Morgan said no concert would go later than 11:30 p.m. and pyrotechnics will not be allowed within the park area during the entertainment, for safety purposes.
"The concerts will likely be held on a Thursday or a Sunday. If we're lucky, we'll schedule one for a Saturday," Morgan reported. He said a concert would never be scheduled on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday in consideration of local residents.
"The stage also comes with soundproofing sides and a soundproofed back so the sound goes straight forward," Morgan explained. He said they would also set up RVs to help create a sound barrier to control the noise for area residents.
Council members stressed the importance of making sure the community is cleaned up after the event. They also brought up the possibility of having someone patrol the residential area of the city during the event.
"I think it's a good idea. It's just a matter of how it will work with the tractor pull people and the grounds," councilor Darold Woessner said.
After discussing Morgan's willingness to work with the city and community groups to protect the grounds for other events, a motion was approved to move forward with the Ottertail Concert Series. The motion is contingent on all of the legal requirements being fulfilled by Morgan and Anderson.
In other city news:
-The meeting schedule of the Ottertail City Council has been changed for the coming year.
The council will now have just one meeting a month, throughout the entire year. This meeting will be held on the third Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
Due to a scheduling conflict, the March meeting will be held on Thursday, March 14.
-Nichole Lalum, Ottertail Convention and Tourism Association, updated the council on the branding initiatives for the city of Ottertail.
She presented the council with a copy of a new logo that all city groups are encouraged to use. The council approved the design and officially accepted it as the city logo.
-The city acknowledged a donation of $764.16 from the Auction Committee to help cover the costs of new cabinets for the Ottertail Community Center.

The Pitt basketball program has indefinitely suspended reserve guard Trey Zeigler, who was charged Sunday with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.
"The incident involving Trey Zeigler is not only surprising, but incredibly disappointing. Although I believe it was out of character for Trey, he has been immediately suspended until further notice," coach Jamie Dixon said in a release from the athletic department. "Trey has expressed his deep regret to me and understands and respects the importance of accountability for one's actions."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Zeigler was stopped by city police Sunday and will be charged by mail summons for the alleged offense.
A 6-5 junior, Zeigler transferred to Pitt for his junior season after playing his first two years at Central Michigan, where his father Ernie was the head coach until being dismissed in the spring. Pitt appealed to have Zeigler declared immediately eligible because of the circumstances of his departure from CMU, and the NCAA granted the waiver request.
"I want to apologize to my family, the University of Pittsburgh, my teammates and coaches and the entire Pittsburgh community," Zeigler said in the release. "This is not indicative of the kind of person I am, nor the kind of person I want to be."
A star in the Mid-American Conference at Central Michigan, Zeigler scored 1,011 points in two seasons. At Pitt, a lack of outstanding shooting skill has kept him behind several other wing players, including junior J.J. Moore and senior Lamar Patterson. Zeigler has averaged 17 minutes and 6.2 points per game. He scored 6 points in Friday's easy win over Delaware at the NIT Season Tip-Off.

When people ask me what I hope to learn from my family history research there are two things I usually say are particularly important to me. First, like most members of the diaspora, I yearn to know where in Africa my ancestors originated. For at least one ancestor I want to know what tribe they belonged to, the language they spoke, the name they answered to, the exact piece of earth they slept and worked on, and so on. Following from that, I'd also like to know the stories of their descendents that endured slavery. I want to know the details of their lives as if they sat down next to me and told me about it all themselves. How did they end up on one of those dreadful ships, and how did they have the strength and will to survive the trip? How did they endure the seasoning process, the stripping of their culture and identity, the disregard for their humanity and free will? Since I'm a nerd that minored in linguistics, I also want to ask them if they know that the languages they spoke were not just bad English or broken French. I want to tell them that I know that I am made up of millions of tiny of pieces of them, so not only did they survive all they went through then, but they are still alive now and are not and will not be forgotten.
After centuries of silence, I want to hear their voices and I want to speak their names. Today I get to do that for the first time, so here goes. My great-great-great-grandfather Augustin Cadignan was born into slavery in the late 1830s in Francois, Martinique and was emancipated around the time he reached early adolescence. By the time he reached his 50s he owned property, a farm. He died a free man.
So how do I know this? At the end of my last post, where we walked through almost every line of my great-grandmother Adele's birth record, I hinted that I have information that could take us a few generations further back. This is possible because of some other records I found online over a year ago. As you may remember, in July of 2011 I came across documents called actes d'individualité. These actes, recorded in 1848 and 1849 after the abolition of slavery in Martinique, listed 15 Cadignans residing in Francois. I was sure that these were my Cadignans, but at the time I didn't have any way of knowing which one I had descended from. So close yet so far.
Now let's fast forward some 15 months later to the present and cross reference the Cadignan actes d'individualité with the name Augustin, who was listed as Joseph's father and Adele's grandfather in her birth record. We have a hit! There was an acte d'individualite dated 15 January 1849 for a 12 year old Augustin, allowing us to estimate that Augustin was born around 1837. This leaves us with a slightly different conclusion than Adele's birth record, which suggests Augustin was born circa 1839. However, this is close enough where I can feel comfortable positing that the Augustin mentioned in the 1849 acte and the 1893 birth record are one and the same.
But that's not all, the dominos keep falling. The family relationships recorded in the actes d'individualité indicate that Hortense, age 31, was Augustin's mother. Hortense's mother, Marie Catherine, was the oldest of all the Cadignans in the register, having reported being 54 years old. So here we have two more generations and two more estimated birthyears: 1818 for my 4th great-grandmother Hortense and 1795 for her mother Marie Catherine. Marie Catherine's mother is listed as Marie Louise, but there is not sufficient information to estimate her year of birth. Unfortunately, no information on any of their fathers was given. Of course more research will be needed to confirm or disprove the inferences made here, but it's really starting to feel like we're getting somewhere!

Dawa Advanced Medical Clinic or Dawa AMC
Dawa is more patient centered than your typical medical clinic, the primary doctor will be spending significantly more time with the patient, will gather as much background information as possible through interactive computer portals prior to the visit, will monitor the progress through electronic medical records which are available to patients at all times, and will guide patients through natural and more safe alternatives to traditional medical care. It will be the next generation of medical care, focused on long term care rather than a quick solution to immediate medical problems. This medical clinic and it's doctor have very strong social values that allow to take care of under-privileged patients and even providing free visits on Saturdays. One of the other areas Dawa: Advanced Medical Clinic will focus on is end of life questions. This medical clinic very much goes along with health care reform of President Obama. It offers improved medical care and more value for money compared to the existing alternatives.
Dawa: Advanced Medical Clinic is the next generation in Primary Medical Care. We provide efficient and evidence-based medicine with the patients' budget and time in mind.
- patients who don't have health insurance and can't afford to pay for it
- patients who are not satisfied with the quality of their medical care, who are health conscious, and focused on sustaining healthy life style
- patients who are open to new ways of communication with their doctor through a 'virtual office visit' option (great for busy professionals) and another "ask a question" option that gives professional advice, but doesn't cost a lot of money
-patience who like to live their life through online channels
EPS/JPEG format, will be using for a business card, website, and later stationary and envelope.
Ideally - 2, max 3 colors. Readable on all printed materials including business cards.
Needs to be simple, delivering a message of personal medical care, preventative medical care and natural medicine, or may be completely abstract.
The word Dawa should be the main focus of the logo while AMC or Advanced Medical Clinic should be played with, might be too long to be included in the logo. Advanced Medical Clinic might look better in small caps.
We welcome new, fresh, trendy ideas aside from the one mentioned below.
Like the following concepts:
http://kaplamedical.com/ (logo)
http://www.currenthealth.com/ (look and feel, logo too long and complex)
http://www.carenow.com/?src=gphysic…awodgSz0aQ (acceptable logo)
http://hellohealth.com/?gclid=CNKIh…awodgSz0aQ (nice and clean look, not in love, but like it as a super simple alternative)
Office space design is modern and approach to running this medical clinic is staying ahead of the industry.

The Road To Damascus
Retribution is currently terrible in every aspect of the game, even with the best gear currently available.
- Azreal, 70 Paladin, Death & Taxes, Korgath (Yes, that Death & Taxes)
11:04 AM, January 15, 2008:
Retribution Paladins do not have comparable DPS to Shadow Priests. I do not understand where this comes from, as I have never seen a WWS of a major fight with Paladins anywhere near respectable DPS margins.
Death and Taxes would use Retribution Paladins if they were good. There's no spite or hatred of the class preventing them from doing so. They simply don't work. If they did, they would be used; it's that simply. Top tier guilds have to take advantage of everything available to them. It would be hindering progression to do otherwise. Unfortunately, at this time, the spec is sub par.
- Azreal, 70 Paladin, Death & Taxes, Korgath
10:26 PM, January 15, 2008:
I just went Ret in 3s, and I took top 10 undefeated.
You seem to be really gun-ho on Paladins as a hybrid, and, for the first time in a long while I actually feel like one, rather than a healer / cleanser.
I never really considered Ret as a viable spec until today. I always compared Ret Paladins to other melee classes, and in that regard they fall short. No interrupt, no snare, no healing debuff etc. etc. I'm sure you've heard it all before. After a few games however, I can see how Paladins can still play support as Ret, and the things that make Holy so strong are still there.
- Azreal, 70 Paladin, Death & Taxes, Korgath
Febuary 5, 2008:
By the way, I started Raiding as Ret, it's completely viable.
- Azreal, 70 Paladin, Death & Taxes, Korgath
All teasing aside, this is great to see. Perhaps it will convince more guilds to give a Retribution paladin a trial. For better or worse, the high end guilds do hold a lot of sway in the raiding community, and D&T are among the very top.
I feel like posting a thread to the paladin forums. I'm pretty sure I could get a 10-page flame-war going.

Great to see something like that.ReplyDelete
And yeah, definately post it on the WoW boards! :D
Our retadin is usually at par with other melee in Black Temple, so we're not complaining. Of course, this retadin will do emergency healing when necessary, offtanks Infernals at Anatheron and AoE tanks the trash waves at Hyjal.ReplyDelete
I just wanna see a big change in 2.4 for us....ReplyDelete
The gear will be a nice upgrade, but we need a 3rd isntant attack - something that will negate the need for Windfury...
Maybe a "Crusader Crusader Strike" or something silly like that! lol!
- Anonymous4:37 AM, February 07, 2008
Only 10 pages?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:49 AM, February 07, 2008
The biggest problem I have seen with ret paladins is unless they have windfury they put out crappy dps compaired to rogue/fury warriors. They do put out the dps when they have windfuryReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:47 AM, February 07, 2008
People have suggested adding an interrupt and 2 second silence to Crusader Strike, to make it similar to Earth Shock - however, as it is our main spammable attack, I cannot withhold while waiting to use it to interrupt a heal. Perhaps if the interrupt/silence was connected to Judgement, or if CS placed some sort of stacking Judgement or debuff on the target.ReplyDelete
Retribution is strong in Arena - especially 3v3 - Warrior, Druid, and Ret Pally is almost on par with RMP. The Druid obviously supports the Warrior well, but the Druid is high-nigh un-kill-able with BoF and BoP on him. Ret Pallies who spam Cleanse and use their Blessings at the right times will find they bring much more to their teams than damage.
I wonder, if they will finally backfix S1 and S2 itemization in 2.4 (remove that Spell Damage) to more match what S3 Ret set is currently---if that will make "Spec Ret" even more popular instead of feeling like an outcast.ReplyDelete
A fully geared S3 Ret Pally is absolutely vicious with the right lineup.
I just figured out why those Korgath pre-mades I see every-so-often in my battle group are so killer...
Sorry for the double-post, but a couple of things just kept nagging at me.ReplyDelete
First of all, what exactly is "viable"?
In a game with nine classes, each with three talent specs, some will obviously be better than others.
Blizz has tried to keep somewhat of a rock-paper-scissors PvP 'balance', and now the Alliance and Horde have equal access to the same classes.
And in the endgame, the various raid boss fights call for a variety of class-specific abilities and talents within the "trinity" of tank-DPS-heals.
It is not possible that everyone can be "best" -- but where is the line of "viability"?
Second, wouldn't *any* class / spec with access to full T6 / S3 gear be viable? :)
I mean, how does one measure "viability" when one is in the very best gear available in the game? (I mean, how can one *not* dominate PvP when one out-gears most everyone else?)
And how does that relate to Average Jane, who scrapes together what gear she can?
Dare I ask whether there is a "player skill" element in the "viability" equation? :)
I cannot speak for Azreal, but to me "viable" means there isn't an obvious replacement. That there isn't another class/spec combination that could replace the slot in question and obviously make the raid perform better.ReplyDelete
For example, Subtlety Rogues are generally considered non-viable because you could just replace them with a Combat Rogue, and the raid would be better off for all intents and purposes.
As for player skill, it's assumed that all players have the same level of skill. It goes without saying that it's better to have a good Subtlety rogue than a bad Combat rogue. We're basically comparing the two class/specs as if played by two equally skilled players.
The other thing is that skilled players tend to gravitate towards the good specs. If you're a good rogue, you want to do as much damage as possible, to be as effective as possible. Thus you choose the spec that allows you to shine the most.
As for gear, you have to remember that Azreal is competing against the top PvP'ers or the other DPS in D&T, who are just as geared as he is. He's comparing himself to other T6/S3 characters, not you and me in T4/T5.
- Anonymous8:33 PM, February 07, 2008
It is funny that so many take this guys opinion as something valuable even though he was perfectly happy to spout that Ret was not at all viable before he had even bothered to test it.ReplyDelete
I see a valuable lesson in not just assuming that because someone is in a big guild they know what they are talking about.
Its true that with Windfury up we do insane damage and when we've got it I've been top DPS!ReplyDelete
Its funny how 1 tiny little buff can make such a BIG difference.
Even without it I wouldnt say my dps is rubbish though. Regardless of the fact that i dont top the DPS meters.
Once people realise that paladins are viable in Raids then the animosity towards us can finally be binned.
I'm wondering if you could link the post where this is said? I searched for it, but had no luck.ReplyDelete
nagmos, they're all comments Azreal posted to this site over the last couple months. Just look at some of the older posts (the one about Shadow Priests has a lot of them).ReplyDelete
I think you may be forgetting something.ReplyDelete
World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.3.2 (1/8/2008)
* Crusader Strike (Retribution) now causes 110% of weapon damage and no longer gains any bonus from spell damage.
* Sanctified Judgements (Retribution) now returns 80% of the Seal's mana cost, increased from 50%.
The comments were valid for the time in which they were made.
- Anonymous4:32 AM, February 10, 2008
Nice to see this kind of acknowledgment for ret. There are three warr/druid/ret teams tearing up our battlegroup at the moment (one is currently second), and I was pretty happy I could still swing 2000 with my ret pally with a ret/disc priest/rogue setup, even though it is comparatively weaker. I expected 2.3/2.32 would more or less balance ret in pve, but seeing it succeed now in highly competitive pvp is a real treat.ReplyDelete

In my eyes, a retribution paladin brings more to the raid that just 'leetDeePeeEss'. A retribution paladin strenghens the entire raid.ReplyDelete
When rogues and warlocks can buff and off-heal, then I will no longer consider the ret paladin viable.
- Anonymous1:29 PM, February 14, 2008
"I wonder, if they will finally backfix S1 and S2 itemization in 2.4 (remove that Spell Damage) to more match what S3 Ret set is currently---if that will make "Spec Ret" even more popular instead of feeling like an outcast."ReplyDelete
Well, from what I'm seeing in 2.4, they're removing the spell damage alright... but all they're doing is replacing it with crit rating ~_~ I'm sure you've seen the pages and pages of complaints about it still lacking resilience in at least 3 different forums.
- Anonymous10:50 AM, February 18, 2008
"When rogues and warlocks can buff and off-heal, then I will no longer consider the ret paladin viable."ReplyDelete
You don't bring a retribution paladin for off-healing, you bring them for blessings, judgement of crusader, crusader strike, and (least of all) imp sanctity aura.

There are no park pictures to show in this week's post. That's because there was no visit to the park this weekend. This weekend (and the entire week) has been spent on my couch. The nightmare of a cold that's going around struck me last Sunday and has knocked me flat for an entire week.
Instead of the park this weekend, there was the couch. It wasn't all bad, though. A certain furry friend of mine loves to snuggle.
Here she is on my legs:
And here she is in full snuggle mode…sprawled on top of me:
Being sick sucks, but having a loyal friend
at your side on top of you makes it a bit better.
I was too sick to knit for most of the week (the horror!), but over the past day or two I've knit the heel flaps, turned the heels and started one of the gussets on the Film Noir socks:
I pulled on one of my favorite pairs of socks this week and discovered a problem:
The stitches from the heel flap have totally pulled away from the gusset. Once I'm feeling better, I'll try to fix it and save the socks.
For now, I continue to rest.

For example, to provide sales support, professional staff can explain specialized content from a remote location. Having expert staff available to give direct explanations will raise the level of customer understanding as well as customer satisfaction.
In the case of factories and other production facilities, the fact that on-site personnel can share images with the headquarter's technical staff on a real time basis will facilitate timely problem sharing and resolution with respect to line operation status.
The RICOH Video Conferencing / Web Conferencing system will generate various business benefits in addition to greatly reducing travel time and expense.

ANYONE who has ever grown weary from yanking the cord of a chain saw repeatedly will surely appreciate the Stihl MS 250 C Easy2Start chain saw. It looks much like any other Stihl chain saw, but instead of yanking its cord, the operator pulls it slowly and easily to wind up a spring. At full wind, the spring automatically releases to spin the engine over and bring the saw to life. Starting the 3-hp saw is nearly effortless.
Other features on the Stihl 250 include a quick chain adjuster that requires no tools, quick-stop inertia chain brake, anti-vibration system and purge pump primer that fills the carb with fuel for easier cold starts. The 10.8-lb. saw comes with an 18-in. bar designed for firewood cutting.
Retail price is $399.99. To find the Stihl dealer nearest you, call Stihl Incorporated at 800/467-8445 or visit www.stihlusa.com.

My journey of personal transformation has been a quest to put myself back in the equation of my life. For me, there were mountains to climb, both literally and figuratively.
After battling a lifelong obesity problem, I learned to create time and space to nurture my health and my inner self. I pushed past fear and in the process lost 211 pounds, 47.5% body fat and 11 dress sizes in 18 months. More importantly, I gained a new perspective on life.
Today, my life is full and happy. I not only climb mountains but inspire others to do the same. Read more about my marketing agency, Marketing that Matters, or my In the Equation work here.

Record or near-record flooding is expected along stretches of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in the coming days as the central and south-central US struggles to cope with the peak of the 2011 flood season.
Record winter snows and prolonged cold that kept the ground frozen and unable to absorb the spring melt have combined with a week of pummeling rains from intense spring storms to flood fields and riverside communities.
The spring storms, which have brought tornadoes as well as floods, have prompted the governors of Arkansas and Kentucky to declare states of emergency.
In Poplar Bluff, Mo., which has received some 15 inches of rain over the past four days, levees protecting the town from floods on the Black River have been breached or overtopped in several places, forcing the evacuation of some 1,000 people. According to the Associated Press, the privately maintained levees that protect homes and farms near Poplar Bluff failed an Army Corps of Engineers inspection in 2008.
In the meantime, federal hydrologists are keeping a close eye on two flood crests – one working its way down the Mississippi and one on the Ohio River, which empties into the Mississippi at Cairo, Ill.
The Mississippi's largely snow-melt driven crest is expected to pass Cairo first, followed closely by the crest from the Ohio. The two are expected to move south in tandem along the lower Mississippi.
Over the next two days, this one-two punch is expected to bring record or near-record flood levels to a stretch of river from Smithland, Ky., on the Ohio to New Madrid, Mo., on the Mississippi, according to Noreen Schwein, deputy for hydrological services at the National Weather Service's Central Region Headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.
Officials with the US Army Corps of Engineers were sufficiently concerned about this pending aquatic onslaught that they were considering blasting a hole in a levee along the Mississippi just south of its junction with the Ohio. But they reportedly put off a decision after Missouri's attorney general went to court to block the move, arguing that some 130,000 acres of farmland would become inundated.
Hydrological 'perfect storm'
The challenge presented by a pair of closely-spaced, slow-moving crests is that they tend to back water up behind them, prolonging the time that levees are under stress and that communities upstream continue to face flood conditions, says the National Weather Service's Schwein.
To be sure, the Midwest and Upper Plains states are no strangers to severe spring floods. This year's flooding, however, is the culmination of a hydrological "perfect storm," meteorologists say.
Heavy snow with high moisture content blanketed much of the northern US this past winter, with temperatures cold enough to keep the ground frozen well into melt season. The snow began melting before the ground could thaw and absorb the meltwater. Instead the water flowed straight into the streams and larger tributaries that feed rivers such as the upper Mississippi and the Red River of the North.
Ms. Schwein notes that the situation along these rivers could have been worse. In the north, some of the spring precipitation has come as snow, rather than rain. Because the snow takes time to melt, the additional water is introduced into the region more gradually than if the precipitation had come as rain.
As heavy spring floodwaters moved through upper Mississippi basin and into the storied river itself, a series of powerful storm systems moved through the country to the south, dumping heavy rains on soils that quickly became saturated. The storms also have triggered flash floods in the Ozarks, as well as in parts of western Kentucky and southern Illinois.
As of Tuesday afternoon, tornado watches had been posted for a stretch of the country running from northeastern Texas through western Tennessee, and from the northern half of Indiana through much of lower Michigan. Flood and flash-flood watches covered much of the same area.
Flooding is setback for farmers
April's onslaught is taking a toll not only on homes and businesses along the nation's inland waterways. The floods are striking at the country's farmers as well.
Jeff Scates, who along with 11 other family members farms 15,000 acres near Shawneetown in southern Illinois, says that before the rains came, he had 30 percent of his corn crop planted.
But the heavy rains changed that.
"In a few days, we'll be about 15 percent planted," he says, noting that the rest of his pre-rain efforts have fallen casualty to the storms and flooding. "Normally, we'd like to be about 50 percent planted by now."
Within the next two days, the Ohio River at Old Shawneetown, not far away, is expected to reach 55 feet above flood stage, the fourth highest level on record there.
"That's about a half inch below the second-highest level on record," he adds.
Nationally, corn-planting is far behind schedule, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Typically, over the past five years, farmers have seeded an average 23 percent of their corn crop by now. Last year that number reached 46 percent. This year, the wet weather has allowed farmers to plant only about 9 percent of their planned corn acreage. Some agriculture economists say they suspect that even the 9 percent figure could be too high.
Corn represents about 60 percent of his family's plantings, Mr. Scates says. With May around the corner, it's unclear whether the ground will dry fast enough – and stay dry long enough – to get seeds into the ground. After about May 20, he says, each additional day's delay in planting means another 1 percent loss in crop yield.

You have such an awesome imagination, your new plants look so great and holiday. Love, love 'em. If I could get out of here today I'd go to Walmart to see if they have any.
I haven't had any plants in our house in a long time since I tend to forget them and they die. It's also very dry in our house as well as our climate here, (western CO). Just about need to put a whole bottle of lotion on everyday with the heater running.
It's been snowing here since earlier this a.m. and hasn't quit yet, yippiee, a very white Christmas. I might be older but I love the snow. Love to play in it with our dog.
You are such an inspiration in so many ways. Love your blog.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Skywatchers are excitedly awaiting the total lunar eclipse that will occur tonight between 2:41 a.m. and 3:53 a.m. EST, and if you intend to stay awake to watch this amazing sight, then by all means read the Space.com description of the 12 stages of the eclipse. Joe Rao's article thoughtfully explains what you will see as the moon transits through different portions of the earth's shadow. I wholeheartedly recommend it—
—if you want to wallow in astronomical nonsense.
Oh, I'm sure Joe Rao's piece is backed up by an abundance of scientific facts and observations, if you care to put your faith in such things. But those of us well-versed in the ancient wisdoms know that the real 12 stages of a lunar eclipse are as follows:
- Faint penumbral dimming of the moon's disk.
- Pervasive creeping sensations of unease.
- Howling of wolves.
- Unclean things walk the earth; Dick Cheney rises from the grave.
- Contortion of the zodiac.
- Intrusion of strange dimensions.
- Universal gibbering madness.
- Cthulhu.
- A glimmer of sanity in the chaos.
- Restoration of Euclidean geometry.
- Fungal Mi-go from Yuggoth return captive brains to their rightful owners.
- Applause, followed by waffles for breakfast.
Those are the stages of a lunar eclipse I learned in school. Do you know of others? Please mention them in comments; provide an appropriate number for them so that we can learn where they fall in the sequence (e.g., "3.4. Senator James Inhofe leads flat-earth rebellion against globes in public schools").

@zero: so I take it you've at least seen a couple episodes
About your tiredness... take naps... lots and lots of it.
For some reason, the villain of the newest super sentai makes me want to have a villain who hands out triggers. O.o that's why this reimagining of Celestials was made. The original just had IS going out of control at random. In contrast, which one is better?

I guess it's just me, but I don't see the point of it. Fanservice? Sure. It's appealing to look at. Watching people do the nasty? Uh...kinda weird. Why is it appealing?
Just realized a plot hole: German Laura somehow understands and talks with Ichika in Daydreams despite both not having even vaguely similar languages.

Kisaragi Gunma and Yamatogawa is the best when it comes to humor (the scenes are plenty, but oftentimes heartwarming or extremely funny).
On the other hand, FUUGA is best when it comes to 'emotional sex' (no angst, but fair drama and plot). Sacred Twins draws heavily from "Brother and Sister" when it comes to Chifuyu-Ichika relationship, but without the incest.
EDIT: Oh, and Harumi Chihiro is hentai when written shoujo style, maybe you can find some clue for daydreams

^ Okay, what if it was Laura who spoke Japanese instead? We believe that in I.S.A., everyone is either speak English or Japanese. Assuming everyone speak Japanese, this means Laura learn it somehow.
Also, Ichika not exactly stupid, just lazy. He was top student in his Junior High. And his problem with I.S. related subject is because he didn't started with basic and jump directly to the advanced subject. So, Ichika learning how to speak German is not that impossible.

I guess I'll just hope no one catches onto it. Tatenashi acting like some kind of lovestruck schoolgirl kinda tipped it off that the story uses "Rule of Romantic" for everything.
Anyway, is it possible for someone to collide with heavy objects and then get up like there's no problem in the middle of a fight.

Well, depends.
Remember about "Ichika punch Tatenashi into the wall and she stand up unharmed"? yeah, there's a technique like that. I doubt you can apply it if the heavy object in question is moving though.
On the other hand, remember about the "Getting hit by a a car and stand unharmed" I explained last year? this one can be used and probably more effective.

@zero: Nah, the dude's kinda like the normal scientist. Research something that has the plausibility to change the world as we know it, get laughed at for it, devote an unhealthy amount of time for said research, realize exactly how big and how impossibly unprepared humanity would be for such a thing to exist, then turn the whole of humanity into one giant experiment to satisfy your ego.
That's the current basic outline of him.
As a villain, he's quite smooth and detached from reality. His acts of villainy are more FOR SCIENCE than anything. As a villain, I guess he gets a fail, but as a manipulative bastard, I want to make him get a 5 star review

Well, that reminds me of Jail Scaglietti, not so much evil as he is totally immoral and crazy (not his fault, he was BORN that way)
@ Eras
Yes, it's called rolling, that's why it was taught in almost every martial arts, especially Judo and wrestling. A good roll can reduce physical damage by a huge margin during a fall or crash.
Anyway, I need a name for Arata's I.S. (Ichika's kid from Madoka), something sounds wicked and almighty, unstoppable overwhelming force.

Egyptian god of death is "Seth". Thanatos is the Greek/Roman god of death who the son of Nyx, the void of darkness.
Side note - Would you live in a society where your role in life is determined for you? Basically, the term for it would be called "You're free to choose to obey or you deny and die."

The Cinder Project is an organization that thrives on inspiring people to pursue their dreams through the light of Christ.
Cinders are the small coals in a fire- they burn hot, glow red, and eventually break off to fly into the dark of night, only to land in another place and start a new fire in the darkness. This is the goal of the Cinder Project. Cinder teaches individuals and inspires them to go out and pursue their dreams and start fires in other places. Christ is the spark; He is the light that inspires. Christ is the reason that we have the fire inside of us in the first place. Cinder shares that fire and then stokes the flames to burn brighter, creating more Cinders… more fires… more light.

Jackson kills the magic of 'Rings' trilogy
The idea of shooting and showing the "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in a fantastically fast 48 frames per second probably sounded good in preproduction meetings.
But shown on a giant theater screen in 48-fps format, Peter Jackson's fourth movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth stories looks cheap and shallow and bathes every scene in a glaring artificiality that makes its unbelievable world simply nonbelievable.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"★ ★
Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Richard Armitage, Hugo Weaving, Christopher Lee
Directed by: Peter Jackson
Other: A Warner Bros. release. Rated PG-13 for violence. 166 minutes
Even if you avoid the 48-fps version of "The Hobbit" and opt to see it in regular 24 fps (check your local theaters to see which version they're showing), Jackson's prequel to his amazing, award-laden "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is a sloggy trudge by generic characters through endless travelogues, tiresome combat sequences and IQ-challenged moments in which main characters lack the smarts to act with common sense.
This critique of "The Hobbit" isn't to dissuade anyone from seeing it. If you're a Tolkien fan, you must see it, just as fans had to see Ralph Bakshi's abortive two-part 1978 rotoscopic animated adaptation of "Lord of the Rings Part 1." (It was so badly received that part 2 never materialized.)
Jackson's "The Hobbit" begins with ... wait. Actually, it has three beginnings, two more than it really needs.
Anyway, 60 years before the events in "Lord of the Rings," Gandalf the wizard (reprised by Ian McKellen, born for this role) arrives at the house of ultimate hobbit homebody Bilbo Baggins ("The Office" star Martin Freeman).
Gandalf has called a massive dwarves meeting at Bilbo's quaint little Shire cottage without his knowledge. (Fortunately, Bilbo has stocked his pantry with enough food and drink to weather several nuclear strikes.)
The dwarves, led by warrior king Thorin (Richard Armitage), are keen to travel and take back their gold-laden kingdom/fortress Erebor from Smaug, the giant, fire-breathing dragon that usurped it.
Bilbo wants none of this action, but the dwarves persuade him to become their "burglar," a small, undetectable character capable of carrying out sneaky jobs.
The quest begins, and "The Hobbit" enters familiar Jackson territory (shot mostly against New Zealand's bizarre, twisted vistas) with dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf on an danger-fraught journey to Lonely Mountain.
Along the way, Bilbo crosses paths with a much younger, scarier Gollum (reprised by Andy Serkis) and makes his first acquaintance with the evil ring that he discovers after Gollum loses it, right before Gollum really loses it.
"The Hobbit" bears the unmistakable stylistic stamp of Jackson, who more or less replicates the epic sweep of his earlier trilogy (although it would have been fascinating to see where originally attached director Guillermo del Toro would have taken the project).
After a ridiculously slow and bum-testing start, "The Hobbit" shifts into forward movement at about the 40-minute mark, then leans on a couple of showcase special effects sequences to carry the tale.
The best one occurs when the travelers cross bleak and black mountains that come to life as animated rock fighters, beating each other up like stone-faced WWE wrestlers.
Then it's back to mostly superfluous nods to future "Rings" characters played by Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Christopher Lee, and more trudging and fighting, and Thorin squaring off with an armless orc to supply a personal vendetta subplot not in Tolkien's original story.
Apparently, the closer characters get to Erebor, the more common sense they lose.
Take the climactic fight scene in which brave Bilbo risks his life to rescue Thorin from his orc tormentor. (Hey, Bil! You have the ring to render yourself invisible! Why not use it?)
Or later, when Gandalf and the dwarves ride a flock of giant birds to a place a couple of miles from Erebor. (Hey, guys! Why not have the birds take you all the way to Erebor and avoid the walk?)
I know. I know. "The Hobbit" is a fantasy.
And if it's any indication of the quality of the next two planned sequels -- "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" will come out in 2013, "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" in 2014 -- I may well put Aragorn's Anduril to my throat.

I was thinking that I should come up with a new twist (or at least new to me) on french toast. As I surveyed the ingredients I had in my fridge, I decided to make the french toast mentioned above.
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup raspberry jam
12 slices french bread *
8 eggs
1/4 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 8 X 8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Mix ricotta cheese and raspberry jam together and spread on 6 pieces of french bread, lay in baking dish. Spread additional cheese/jam mixture on rest of bread and lay on top of first pieces. Mix eggs, half and half and vanilla together and pour over bread, be sure to press bread down as you pour on eggs, you want the egg mixture to soak into the bread. At this point, you can add fresh or frozen raspberries to the top. Pop in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with butter and lemon sauce.
*may also substitute challah bread or whole grain bread, basically any bread that is your favorite, or that you have on hand. I wouldn't use savory breads such as dill or garlic for this recipe.
Lemon sauce
1 cup sugar
2 to 3 Tablespoons corn starch
2 cups water
4 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
In a small pan mix cornstarch and sugar, add water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add butter and lemon juice. Stir until butter melts, serve over french toast or on the side.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Spokane County is testing a GPS-based system that lets the public know which roads have been plowed during and after snow storms.
Drivers can call up a county map on the Internet to get minute-by-minute updates.
Officials say satellites feed plowing data into computers. Each of the county's 85 plows, sanders and deicers is equipped with GPS technology that is linked to the vehicle's mechanical systems. The county maintains 2,500 miles of roads.

Univ Musical Society needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 89 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
University Musical Society (UMS)
UMS is a 130-year old not-for-profit performing arts presenter that brings international artists (classical music, jazz, world music, dance, and stage plays) to the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. These events are tours of professional artists from around the world who appear with UMS in several different theaters for 1-4 performances.
Our mission is to connect audiences with performing artists in uncommon and engaging experiences. In addition to presenting about 50-60 performances each year of world-renowned artists, we have an active education program, providing free events to kids and adults. Details on all of these programs are available at http://www.ums.org.
UMS is developing a new project called the UMS LOBBY (umslobby.org) which will further the connection between audiences and our organization. While ums.org is a site for information about upcoming performances, umslobby.org (prototype in development) will be a site for conversation -- a place for people to connect with artists, with other audiences members, and with UMS itself. In addition to the online connections, facilitated through a blog and through comment areas related to each performance, as well as a historical archive and a "living archive" that features audience stories about ways that UMS has touched their lives, we will host live, in -person events related to the performances.
Current audience members and supporters of UMS.
Initially, we wish to engage people who are already coming to our performances or who have some connection to our organization, with the hope that they will deepen their connection to UMS and then talk about us with their own social networks. Ultimately, we hope to expand the site to include connections to those who may have had a connection to our organization when they were students at the University, but who may have moved on (e.g., people who ushered when they were students 20 years ago). The audiences are very different depending on the type of performance, but in general tend to be highly educated and intellectually engaged. Most live in southeastern Michigan, but we draw from beyond that region also. Our hope is to engage people who are already well connected to each other and to our organization in new ways that cause them to reflect on the value of the performing arts to their lives.
* Logo that will be used for umslobby.org website (created through wordpress) that may also be used for banners, posters, and other promotional collateral materials
* Incorporate the following words:
UMS Lobby
People are Talking. [tagline]
* evoke conversation -- be creative!
* be sophisticated, perhaps a little edgy
* be careful about type treatment for UMS Lobby -- we don't want it to appear as "um slobby"
* does not need to connect/relate to current UMS logo
* should NOT incorporate the University of Michigan block M. We are affiliated with U-M, but are not part of the University.

My grandmother Mary Elizabeth Barrett was born November 26th, 1916 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was the oldest daughter of Mary Elizabeth (Brady) and Flowrence Howard Barrett, and her siblings were Margaret (b. 1918 ), Eileen (b. 1920), Evelyn (b. 1922), Alice (b. 1924), and Charles. She would often tell me about the fun times in her youth that were spent going to Red Sox games and how she could buy a soda or ice cream for a nickel and ride on the subway for ten cents (that's inflation for you)! My sister and I always called her Grammie. After she passed away in 2002, I began researching the family tree in earnest, and I wished I had asked her more questions while she was with us. I did try sometimes, but as anyone who knew her would verify, she had a stubborn streak. Overall my memories of her are sweet ones, and I am grateful for them.
The Barrett Family
The Barretts emigrated from Ireland to the U.S. in the mid 19th Century. John Barrett was said to be from County Cork from family records. He married Mary Collins on February 6th 1883 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. At the time of their marriage, John was a laborer and Mary was a cook. (Source: Mass Archives Marriages Vol.345 P.238). They had 8 children, five of whom survived to adulthood: Flowrence Howard (b. 9 Dec 1883 d. 1954), James N. (b. 6 Oct 1888), John "Jack" (b. 1892), Edward D. (b. Aug 1893), and Margaret Barrett (b. Jan 1898). The family lived in Cambridge, MA at the time of of the US Census in 1900 and 1910.
In 1920 John, Mary and their sons James N. and Edward D. Barrett lived in nearby Somerville, MA. At that time their eldest son Flowrence Barrett and his wife Mary had 2 daughters and lived on Stearns St. in Cambridge, MA. His occupation was listed as painter.
By the 1930 US Census, John Barrett had passed away and Mary lived in Cambridge with her son James N., his wife Sarah and their children Muriel, J. Norman, and Richard Barrett. Flowrence and his family were still at Sherman St. in Cambridge where the family would be centered for many years.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Digest of EEO Law, Volume XI, No. 4
Mahone v. United States Postal Service, 1998 U.S. App. LEXIS 2128 (6th Cir., February 10, 1998).
This was an action to enforce an award issued by the Commission. The court noted that plaintiff filed in federal court for enforcement of the award under 29 C.F.R. §1614.503. The award had been issued in a 1989 decision, in which the Commission found that the agency discriminated against plaintiff by failing to provide him with reasonable accommodation of his disability in a promotion situation. As relief, the Commission ordered retroactive promotion and back pay with interest for the period from July 1987 to June 1988, when plaintiff retired. [Ed. note: EEOC Appeal No. 01891944 (December 8, 1989).]
In implementing the Commission's Order, the agency excluded back pay for a ten-month period in which plaintiff did not work due to a back injury. The Commission determined that the agency had complied with the Order, and so advised plaintiff. Plaintiff filed a Petition for Enforcement. He contended in part that he should have received back pay for the ten-month period he was unable to work. The Commission denied the Petition. The Commission reasoned that the underlying decision ordered the agency to compute back pay in accordance with 5 C.F.R. §550.805, which provides that back pay is not to cover any period in which an individual was unable to perform his duties "because of an incapacitating illness or injury." Plaintiff filed this civil action seeking review of the Commission's decision in federal district court.
The district court concurred with the assessment of the Commission that the agency had satisfied the terms of the Commission's Order. Summary judgment was granted for the agency, and plaintiff appealed. The circuit court considered the terms of the Commission's Order, including the directive to compute back pay in accordance with 5 C.F.R. §550.805, and decided that the district court's decision was correct. The circuit court affirmed the district court's decision.
Davis v. Runyon, 1998 U.S. App. LEXIS 3065 (6th Cir., February 23, 1998).
In Count I of his civil action, plaintiff alleged that the agency discriminated against him on the bases of race and sex when denying him sick leave, and leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.
Twice during the pretrial period, the district court denied plaintiff's requests for extensions of time to conduct discovery. The discovery cutoff date had been set at a case management conference on February 6, 1996. Trial was set for November 12, 1996. Plaintiff first moved for an extension on the discovery cutoff date of July 30, 1996. His attorney explained that he needed extra time because he had a heavy caseload and had been on vacation. When the district court without explanation denied the motion, plaintiff moved for reconsideration. He attached exhibits showing that a week before the discovery cutoff date, he had served on the agency a notice of deposition and a request for production of documents regarding comparison employees. The agency had responded that neither the witness nor the documents could be produced with such short notice. The court again denied the request for an extension of the discovery period, and thereafter dismissed or granted summary judgment to the agency on all counts. On Count I, the district court granted summary judgment on the basis that plaintiff did not come forward with any evidence to support a prima facie case.
On appeal, the circuit court agreed with plaintiff that the district court should have granted him more time for discovery. The requested discovery was obviously necessary to satisfy the district court's prima facie case standard, stated the court. Acknowledging that plaintiff may have been "less than diligent" in his discovery efforts, the circuit court also found the agency to be less than responsive to plaintiff's discovery requests. The circuit court decided that under these circumstances, the district court should have permitted plaintiff an extension, and found that the refusal to do so unreasonably deprived plaintiff of his ability to prove his claims of discrimination. The circuit court reversed the dismissal of Count I.
Johnson v. Runyon, 137 F.3d 1081 (8th Cir., March 6, 1998).
Plaintiff was 52 years of age and a tour superintendent at the agency when the agency embarked on a major reorganization. All tour superintendent positions were abolished, but a higher-level position requiring additional skills was created. Plaintiff along with others was offered early retirement. An agency official later informed him that he did not intend to hire him for one of the new higher-level positions, on the grounds that he lacked the required skills. The official testified that he informed plaintiff because plaintiff had to make his early retirement decision. The official also testified that he told plaintiff that he would still have a job with the agency, and would not be reduced in pay.
Plaintiff accepted the early retirement offer, but testified that he had not intended to retire early. He filed suit, alleging age discrimination, after the agency selected persons for the higher-level position who ranged in age from 36 to 48. The district court entered judgment in favor of the agency. The district court found that plaintiff failed to make a prima facie showing; because he retired voluntarily, he did not suffer an adverse employment action.
The circuit court agreed. The court stated that where there was no adverse employment action, plaintiff could recover only if he could show that he was constructively discharged. The court noted that plaintiff chose to retire rather than to wait and see what positions would be available after the reorganization. No reasonable person would have found these working conditions so intolerable that they would force an employee to quit, ruled the circuit court.

My Granddaughter and I loved this movie. It was an excellant family movie teaching good values and was very funny. My 8 year old Granddaughter and I laughed together and I love that. I give this movie 5 stars and would go see it again.
I appreciated the humor, nostalgia, and values: kindness, sticking to one's principles, working together, respecting differences. My 7 year old niece and I both loved it.
I took my grandson. He laughed every so often,but it was a sacrifice for me to sit through. I can usually enjoy the movies we watch together. This one not so much.
The movie was excellent and the kids getting traumatized? Seriously?
Go vegan.
Don't take your kids.
I think this movie was well made for all audiences.
Beautiful movie, honest about the plight of most Animals. If you don't want your child seeing how sad it is for the Bulls sent to slaughterhouses, go Vegan and stop the hypocrisy.
It's a great family movie. I'm 15 and my two cousins are 6 and 10 and we all really liked it. So did my dad. He said he almost cried at one point. It's a really sweet movie and it's a great movie to watch together as a family because there's something for everyone to like.
Great movie
As soon as the endearing movie began it was obvious that there would be tears coming. Beautiful yet bold story of a baby bull that grows into a strong beast showing strength of character and courage and the little girl who loves him. Best movie of the year!
The movie was ok kinda a sad story it had a good message in it but. This movie was not appropriate for my 4 and 5 year old. Ì am glad both my kids did not understand alot of it. This movie had both my kids asking me questions. They bring the bulls to a slaughter house wich was definitely not appropriate for a kids movie. They also try killing Ferdinand with a sword and he starts bleeding both my kids were asking me about that one. Just inapropiate if I knew me and my kids would of saw something else the rating on this movie needs to be changed this is not a G rated movie!

There are 11 total players included in each team set. There are 5 different player poses in each set.
First is the LINEMAN figure. You get 3 LINEMAN figures per team. Notice the LINEMAN is bent over, with elbows out to make contact with players nearby. With a lower body position than the more upright figures, the LINEMAN has a low center of gravity. This makes him less likely to get knocked over. Because his mass is spread out equally, it makes him harder to push around. Linemen are best on the offensive and defensive lines, where you want strength and the ability to push players around. Pair with strong bases and cleats.
Next is the SPRINTER figure. The SPRINTER figure makes a good wide receiver and quarterback, and works well as a safety on defense. You get 2 SPRINTER figures per team. Because of their slim design, they can be devastating as blitzing defensive linemen because they are harder to block.
You get 2 ALL PURPOSE figures per team. This player is squatting, with his arms hanging to his sides. ALL PURPOSE is very well balanced. He is a versatile figure capable of playing many positions. Use one at quarterback and the other at running back or tight end. On defense, use them as cornerbacks or defensive tackles.
The BACKER figure is the tall player standing with his hands out to his sides. You get 2 BACKER figures per team. He is often used at the offensive tackle and tight end positions on offense, and can be used at the linebacker, defensive end, and safety positions on defense. His height makes it more difficult for the TTQB (Triple Threat Quarterback) to throw over him. His wide stance offers a greater chance of an errant pass hitting him, increasing the odds of an interception.
The RUNNER figure, while intended to be a stiff-arming running back, can also be used as a slot receiver on offense. You get 2 RUNNER figures per team. On defense, they make great pass rushers at the defensive end position. They also make good cornerbacks because they can grab opposing receivers, preventing them from getting open.

Mitt Romney's Wife, Ann, Defends Her Choice to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom [VIDEO]
Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, fired back Thursday on Fox News at Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen for mocking her choice to be a stay-at-home mom who never entered the workforce.
On Wednesday, Rosen ignited a firestorm when she criticized Romney as someone who has "never worked a day in her life" and who therefore isn't qualified to advise her husband on women's issues.
Romney argued that raising children is a tough job in and of itself. "[Rosen] should have come to my house when those five boys were causing so much trouble, it wasn't so easy," she said. "My career choice was to be a mother, and I think all of us need to know that we need to respect the choices that women make.
Romney also said she's in touch with the plight of women. "I know what it's like to struggle. And if maybe I haven't struggled as much financially as some people have, I can tell you and promise you that I've had struggles in my life," she said.
Rosen has since apologized for her comments, calling her words "poorly chosen." "I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended," she said in a statement. "Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."

My family and I wish to recognize the Butler Veterinary Associates Inc. and Emergency Center for excellent care when my service dog suffered an accidental life-threatening injury.
The emergency center was prepared to treat his critical injury as soon as we arrived, saving Bugs' life. Surgery followed immediately and included amputation of his hind leg. We received frequent updates and reassurance during and after surgery.
Bugs has recovered quickly and is making great progress getting back to his old self. Our community is very fortunate to have this facility with such a loving and wonderful staff available.

About Anneè Olofsson
Anneé knows where she comes from
"My records are connected to my past so I could never get rid of them."
Anneè is a sensitive soul. For her, artists sense things quickly and that's what makes art important, catching on to what's bubbling beneath the surface of society. Sensing it before it happens. Influenced by music, Anneè has a record collection going back to 1978, when she bought her first vinyl. And family also plays a large part in her work. Particularly her parents who she has worked with since 1996. One of Annee's artworks can be found in MOMA in New York and features her late father.
A Demon's Desire is based on the story of the rock band Scorpion's controversial album cover to the record Virgin Killer that came out in 1976. The photographer seen in Anneè's photos is Michael von Gimbut who photographed the original cover. Her photographs are reconstructions of how she think it looked in the photo studio in 1976.
