Suns look to solve their road woes
Originally published: Dec 27, 2012 - 12:38 pm
A three-game, four-day road trip begins Friday in Indiana before stopping in Minnesota and then arriving in Oklahoma City on New Year's Eve.
"It's a test of: Are we going to stand in and compete," head coach Alvin Gentry said of a trip that will cover 4,088 miles.
In 13 road games this season, the Suns have but two victories. Only Sacramento and Washington have had less success, each with just a single road win.
"Young teams don't usually have success in the NBA," Jared Dudley said.
The Suns' last successful road game was November 27 at Cleveland, winning 91-78. Since then, the Suns have lost six straight away from home.
"It is very difficult to win on the road," Gentry said.
The Suns are their own worst enemy on the road, allowing ten more points per game on the road (106.5) than they do at home (96.3).
"For us," Dudley said, "it's being confident enough take those shots that you normally would take at home on the road. People pass it up and that's why usually stars do a lot better on the road because the role players don't play as well.
"For us," Dudley continued, "it's just concentrating, limiting our turnovers, being confident. When you have that shot, shoot it and we've got to knock them down."

The Department of Ophthalmology Leading in Clinical and Academic Excellence
"Jewish" ophthalmology in the Eretz Israel began with the visit of Henrietta Szold at the beginning of the last century. Miss Szold was overwhelmed by the scope of eye disease she found, especially trachoma, and decided to bring medical personnel, doctors and nurses, from her native America to Israel to treat these diseases. These medical missions led eventually to the establishment of the Hadassah Medical Organization in Israel and to the building of Hadassah hospitals, the most prominent of them being opened on Mt. Scopus in Jerusalem in 1939.
The Hadassah Medical Organization recruited to its ranks Dr. Aryeh Feigenbaum, who established the eye clinics of HMO and in 1922 was named "chief ophthalmologist of the HMO in Eretz Israel and chairman of the eye department of Rothschild [later to become Hadassah] Hospital in Jerusalem".
Dr. Feigenbaum, who consequently was appointed to the rank of Professor in Ophthalmology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was among the pioneers of academic medicine in Israel, the first editor of the journal "Harefuah", and the first dean (pro-dean) of the Medical School of the Hebrew University and Hadassah, which for years was the only Medical School in Israel.
Dr. Feigenbaum served as chairman of the department of ophthalmology for 32 years, until 1954, when he was succeeded by Professor Isaac Caesar Michaelson,
Professor Michaelson, who was one of the "giants" of ophthalmology in his generation, nurtured academic ophthalmology in Israel in general and at Hadassah University Hospital in particular, established the first generation of specialists in ophthalmology in Israel, many of whom became over the years heads of eye departments in various hospitals throughout Israel, and in 1959 began the tradition of our department's assistance to African countries and other developing nations, a tradition which continues to this very day.
In 1973 Professor Michaelson was succeeded by Professor Hanan Zauberman, one of his pupils, as chairman of the department. Professor Zauberman carried on the traditions of academic ophthalmology and help to developing countries. He was the first in Israel to set up specialized clinics in the various sub-specialties of ophthalmology, and our department was the first in Israel in which the residents were required to study the various sub-specialties.
Professor Zauberman has retired in 1998, and was succeeded by Prof. Jacob Pe'er, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Department of Opthalmology .
The department of ophthalmology of Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem has been, from its inception, a leader in both clinical and academic ophthalmology. It was the first ophthalmology department to include research laboratories, and in which the physicians were required to participate in clinical and basic research.
The components of our department which deal with various fields of ophthalmology include:
The outpatient clinic , which serves patients referred to our various sub-clinics; the in-patient ward and operating theatres outfitted specifically for ophthalmic surgery; the ophthalmology unit at Hadassah University Hospital on Mt. Scopus, which is community-based; the Michaelson Institute for the Rehabilitation of Vision, located in downtown Jerusalem, which is the only institution in Israel which treats children with low vision in a comprehensive manner; and the laser institute for refractive surgery located in Malcha, which is commercially-based; and the leading research laboratories and imaging services in the country.
The Department of Ophthalmology at the Hadassah University Hospital provides medical and surgical services at the highest level in all subspecialties in ophthalmology.
The Department of Ophthalmology operates the following clinical services: Comprehensive ophthalmology, cornea and external eye diseases, glaucoma, medical retina, vitreo-retinal surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, ocular oncology, uveitis, neuro-ophthalmology, and oculoplastics. Each of these sub-specialties is served by senior physicians ranked amongst the leaders in the country, working together with Israeli and foreign residents. In addition, the department provides services in ocular pathology, vision functions and electrophysiology, ocular immunology, ocular ultrasonography, and ophthalmic photography and imaging.
Approximately 40,000 patients are served and about 3500 patients are operated every year in the Department of Ophthalmology of the Hadassah University Hospital, in its Ein Karem center and its branches at Mt. Scopus, and the Michaelson Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. In addition, thousands of patients undergo refractive surgery in our new laser center in Malcha.
In the cornea and anterior segment field, our department leads in refractive surgery, using the LASIK technique. Our cornea service is the only one in Israel that performs transplantation of limbal stem cells and transplantation of amniotic membranes in treating severe ocular surface conditions. Together with our ocular oncology service, we treat patients with ocular surface malignancies by Mitomycin-C drops, a method that was developed by us and is now in use in many centers worldwide.
The ocular oncology service continues its unique role in treating patients with intraocular tumors, mainly uveal melanomas and retinoblastomas. We are one of only two centers in the world using intraocular chemotherapy in treating intraocular lymphoma. We are pioneering the use of epi-ocular and intraocular chemotherapy in other malignant conditions.
In the medical retina service, we have developed the Macular Degeneration Center, which deals with macular diseases in adults and children. In the past three years, we have been using Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). This center is very active in basic and clinical research. Our retinal specialists are using different types of laser, such as the argon-krypton, diode-laser and the Visulas laser for PDT.
Our vitreoretinal surgeons perform the most complicated operations of the retina and vitreous, including removal of subretinal membranes, retinectomies and transposition of retina, peeling of membranes, and others, and are the only ones in the country who use intricate retinal surgery to treat severe cases of ROP, where hope for vision has been lost.
In the glaucoma service, we treat patients with severe glaucoma by advanced medical therapy, surgery, and various laser treatments.
The staff of the pediatric ophthalmology unit treat all varieties of ocular diseases in children, and are leading the treatment of congenital cataract and other types of cataracts in childhood.
In our uveitis service, patients with uveitis of various etiologies and other ocular inflammatory diseases are treated. This service also cares for patients with difficult eye conditions that accompany their systemic illnesses.
The neuro-ophthalmology clinic handles ambulatory patients who are referred to us with difficult optic nerve and visual system problems, and provides consultation services to the departments of neurology and neurosurgery.
The oculoplastic clinic deals with diseases of the orbit, eyelids and lacrimal system, and collaborates with the departments of plastic surgery, ENT, and maxillofacial surgery in treating complicated problems.
Cataract surgery is performed in both the main department at Hadassah Ein Karem and in our branch at Hadassah Mt. Scopus, using delicate instrumentation for the suture-less phacoemulsification procedure, with insertion of state-of-the-art foldable lenses. YAG laser is used for capsulotomy in cases of secondary cataract.
The ultrasound service provides imaging of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, with the help of A- and B-scan ultrasound equipment and high-frequency ultrasound. This service has the most experience in the country in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with intraocular tumors.
Our ophthalmic photography unit uses the confocal laser camera system for fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, which are valuable tools in diagnosing retinal diseases. A slit lamp camera is used for recording the anterior segment, while corneal topography and the specular microscope are employed to measure facets of the cornea. We have just purchased the new-generation ocular coherent tomogram for analysis of the retina and the optic nerve, which together with the GDX nerve-fiber analyzer will give us an unprecedented "view" into the posterior part of the eye. We have a new Humphrey Visual Field analyzer in addition to the old one. We have two types of wide-angle fundus camera: The RetCam which is used for children and the Israeli-made Panoret-1000 which is used for both adults and children, even through a small pupil.
The members of the Department of Ophthalmology conduct both basic and clinical research. The research is conducted mainly in the laboratories of the Department of Ophthalmology as well as in collaboration with other laboratories of the Faculty of Medicine, Hadassah University Hospital, and with departments abroad.
The laboratories in our department are:
The Visual Functions Laboratory, which provides diagnostic services (ERG, VEP, EOG, and psychophysical testing) as well as facilities for basic research.
The Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory, which provides, in addition to diagnostic services, also services for all the morphological studies that have been done in our department, including immunohistochemical studies.
The Molecular Ophthalmology Laboratory has been established as a core for all studies involving molecular techniques, including molecular genetics, that are carried out by the researchers of our department.
The Laboratory of Immuno-Ophthalmology provides research and diagnostic services in inflammatory eye disease.
The Laboratory for Laser Research has been restructured and will provide services in basic and applied research with femtosecond lasers.
With the establishment of the retinal degeneration center, both basic and clinical research is being conducted in this field on the molecular, electrophysiology, and clinical levels such as studies on experimental drugs. Retinal as well as ocular tumor angiogenesis have been explored on the morphological and molecular levels. Cell proliferation in normal tissue and in ocular tumor tissue, with and without treatment, has been studied.
In the field of cornea and ocular surface diseases, inflammatory and repair have been explored, as well as methods of drug delivery, the use of amniotic membranes and their preparation, and others. In glaucoma, investigation of visual fields methods and new instrumentation are the main fields of interest.
Other areas of research carried out in the Department of Ophthalmology are in pediatric ophthalmology, neuro-ophthalmology, ocular inflammation, ocular microbiology, genetics of eye diseases, lasers in ophthalmology, and refractive surgery.
The department has developed, in cooperation with the Division of International Cooperation of the Foreign Ministry of Israel, a program which provides developing countries with eye services both by training foreign doctors and nurses at Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem, and by establishing clinics in their countries of origin.

The airy tic-tac-toe-patterned honeycomb, delicate as spun sugar and cut into quarter wedges from a bigger circle, is just as crisp, just as ethereal as an authentic Belgian waffle, even if the thimble of maple syrup it's served with peddles to our American expectations on what must go with a waffle. But Bruxie has gone beyond waffles as street-side treats or breakfast fodder. At its store-an outdoor-seating-only venue reclaimed from an old Dairy Treet near the Chapman University campus-droves come to eat the waffle as bread for sandwiches, folded up like a taco, a platform for the savory as well as the sweet.

Wanna be on the cover of KoreAm?
It's something we take pride in (and chuckle at) all the time here at KoreAm. Through the years, many notable Korean Americans have come up to us and declared that it's their dream to be on the cover of KoreAm. Umma would be so proud.
Unfortunately, since we only have 12 covers a year, we just can't showcase everyone. That's why we've launched the exclusive web feature, I Am KoreAm.
With I Am KoreAm, we're placing the spotlight on you, everyday people who make up our wonderfully diverse community. We hope to feature a different Korean American reader every week.
To put yourself in the running, send a photo of yourself to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject heading "I AM KOREAM." The photo should be of just yourself (with no other folks next to you or in the background) and it should show a bit of your personality. Include your full name, age, city, occupation and the best way to reach you.
Then fill in the blank.
I Am KoreAm and proud because _______________________________.
If selected, we'll send you a questionnaire and you'll be on your way to being featured on IAmKoreAm.com!
I found this site to be very helpful for my visit to Chicago. I found great food, shops, and people to make my visit with my wife very enjoyable. I am not Korean, my wife is, though i lived in Pusan from age 4-12 while my father worked for a fishing fleet. What i love most about America's large cities are the distinct ethnic areas, reinforcing the notion that America is not a "melting pot" but more of a "salad bowl".
hey so i totally get what Goguryeo is saying here but..
it is still important to distinguish Korean Americans from Koreans.
it's a totally different culture and way of life. and by having things like this in the u.s. that are just for "koreams" can be very helpful because it acknowledges and appreciates those differences. it is hard for korean-americans and koreans to understand some of the same views, values, opinions, preferences… because they were raised and grew up very very differently.
but i do get what your saying about the brain drain thing. however, the purpose of this publication is beneficial.
AND yes sir is racist and needs to get a life.
@Goguryeo, this is a site in which Korean-Americans take can pride in who we are. Nobody asked you for your criticisms or your political views. I'm a Korean-American and I live my life proudly. We are not our nations' politics. Stop spewing your anti-American garbage on a Koream website. Get a life.
tfgygdd, i dont like the way that "yes sir" wrote about koreans, what do u mean by if theyre full koreans it'll be a different story… r u saying theyre stupid or have not good genetics? i dont know whats racism that good, but i understood that ure frickin racist
Wow… I just stumbled onto this website and I'm truly disappointed….. You know the creators of this website should really take a "Race and Ethnic Relations Sociology" class…. Just the fact u defame the name "Korean" into a corny degrading name "Koream" is proof enough you wish our people to assimilate into the immoral primitive culture of america. Are you aware of the "Brain Drain?" If not you should Google it but let me give you a quick overview. Abstractly it means attracting people from all over the world and basically "USING" them for their smarts. Example: German scientists from WWII were brought over to america through "project paperclip" to utilize their talents. america debauches people from all over the world luring them in with promises of freedom (which is slowly being taken away daily), tempting lifestyles, false hope, media (the most powerful psychological influence weapon), and the list goes on forever, then utilizes them for their smarts brainwashing you in the process that this country is so great and that you are part of this "great" nation. It's all part of the game. This is all innate conquering knowledge that we all carry. Think about it wouldn't you do the same if you were in power? You might think we're treated equally and that there's nothing wrong with this filthy country but your 100% wrong and need to do your research. Take a "Race and Ethnic Relations Sociology" class and you'll begin to grasp what I mean.
Ursula Mayes, Rachel Sterling, too many 1/2 Korean hotties with bodies!!! the white side gives 'em the good genetics, but if they were full Korean, it'd be a different story
Celeste Thorson should be on your cover, she is def one of the hottest Korean Americans out there. Luv her!
add me in facebook email@example.com
hey !!..i not Korean but i really really like Korea!!! :D

On April 27th, Planet Positive invited Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, an Eskimo-Kalaallit Elder, to deliver the Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man ceremony to raise awareness on climate change to the pupils and parents at Crampton Primary School. The children, aged 7-11, took part in the ceremony which involved encircling Angaangaq while he performed his ceremony by chanting, drumming and talking about the climate change impacts to his homeland, Greenland. The moving ceremony touched many of the students, faculty and parents.
Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq led the children out to the playground to encircle him while he burned logs to 'create smoke' as a part of his spiritual tradition. This is a means of powerful cleansing in his tradition, which uses the planet spirit to take away what does not belong to us and restore balance. He also chanted to them with his drum.
As a part of their 'Act' pledge, Crampton Primary School hosted the spiritual ceremony, which was conducted by Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, an Eskimo-Kalaallit Elder whose family belongs to the traditional healers of the Far North from Kalaallit Nunaat in Greenland. The ceremony integrates the wisdom of traditional Inuit teachings with the healing traditions of the Eskimo-Kalaallit people to raise awareness on climate change. Angaangaq describes his ancestors' experience of witnessing the melting of the glaciers in Greenland, that 'water was trickling out of the Big Ice at the Big Wall'.
In most parts of the world, the retreat of glaciers has been dramatic, including Greenland's massive ice sheet. Between 1961 and 1997, the world's glaciers lost 890 cubic miles of ice and the melt is accelerating. Today there are hundreds of roaring rivers coming off the glacier year round.
Steve Malkin, CEO of Planet Positive, said: 'We are proud to be working with schools and educating children on the impacts of climate change. The Melting the Ice in the Heart of Man ceremony provides children with a spiritual and firsthand account of the impact of climate change.'

Today is early into my third month interning at the Boca Museum of Art under Registrar Martin Hanahan. As an English major and Linguistic minor, people look at me oddly when I tell them the internship I pursued. But through my studies in English, I learned every facet of art is intertwined seamlessly, and we must pursue each type to experience what art is. Artists paint with many colors, writers paint with two.
Our words, in perfect black and white, show how colorful life is. And artists, with their cubism and their expressive modernism, offer an abstract sense of life that playfully incites our senses. The beauty of art is that it does not tell you what to think, or even how to think. It simply is. Just like music. So, after studying the great writers, I decided to pursue a different approach to the world of expressive awareness. I am drawn to art because it is quiet, but even the quietest painting, possibly in hues of blue, still sends our senses diving into an ocean of consciousness. Art, like literature, can affect society by presenting something we are afraid of, or by creating a calming space in which we find solace.
Either way, art, music, and literature are the catalysts that strip away fake and replace it with raw. Whether artist, writer, photographer, we tell the story of life boundlessly with no restrictions. We welcome consequences. We are renegades of the present. This is how I found myself in a museum instead of a library. I am surrounded by artifacts that tell of our history without words; silent pronouncements of truth. Quiet frames hang on quiet walls and tell stories of lovers, children, animals, trees. Loudly they spill their secrets, forever surrounded by a gold frame, in remembrance of a tender, experienced hand.
Last week I documented 13 old photographs: daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes. I also stored 11 cameras dating from the Second World War to the 1960s. The photographs were produced in the 1800s; each "type" produced differently. Daguerreotypes (1840-1855) are extremely reflective photographs on polished silver. Ambrotypes (1855-1865) are not shiny like daguerreotypes, but matte, because the photograph emulsion is coated on glass with black paint that often cracks and darkens the picture.
Tintypes (1855-1900) are black painted tin- exposed. There is rarely any tarnish and it does not have a reflection. It doesn't come in an ornate case like the other two because it is not fragile. So the type of picture that goes on these artifacts usually contains an unsmiling, somber subject who looks like she or he has no idea what is going on. Pulled from the farm, or the church, or the kitchen, the subjects exude nothing artificial about them. In fact, you feel as though you are standing there, facing them (which we very well could be). Their attitude (or lack of) in the photographs sent my mind reeling. It is so different from the way we take pictures today- with our poses and our scrunched faces and our obscene gestures.
The myth about the camera stealing the soul feels very real with these pictures. For some reason, our technology often fails to gather the real soul of a person, possibly because the entire experience of photography has changed into point and click. Easy to capture moments, but there is something distinctly un-timless about them. Perhaps this is why there are so many programs that offer ways to alter photographs in an effort to lend them some authenticity.
Now, each moment is real, but sometimes moments are so on-the-surface that we fail to appreciate the way of life- the harshness of it, the cold and the hot, the good and the bad. When people took photos in the 1800s, their faces show of struggle, of reserved resignation, sometimes exultation or humble adoration. But in each person's face, there exists a question of the future. And this question creates a formidable distance between the person and the photographer.
Juxtaposed with the present, we pretend not to ask questions of the future because the answer is always the same- we don't know. Why did we stop searching in an effort to look in control? It is not more becoming for a person to take a beautiful picture that has lost all sense of wonder. The people in these old photographs are asking questions of everything, even themselves.
Pioneers, renegades of the present, their souls are wondering, wandering, losing, and finding. They are not afraid to show vulnerability or strength. Their experiences are genuine because each moment has its own breath and the wildness of the photographs emulate the wildness of their world. In a world where we attempt to control the uncontrollable, a sense of magic has flown away.
To find it, we must live in and breathe every moment without contention for the past, anxiety for the future, or resistance of the present. We must accept the query. Just as these forever-young pioneers in their gold frames asked questions of the future without abandoning the present or escaping to the past. We could learn to do the same, and avoid the midlife crisis of waking up in chains. Visit the Boca Museum of Art (561) 392-2500

Today is Tuesday, March 12, 2013. And today Martin, the Registrar at the Boca Museum, had me document each piece of the exhibition Jody Culkin: Refashioned. This exhibition subverts traditional functions of women's apparel. Now, Jody Culkin: Refashioned is slightly left of wacky, right of weird, and smack dab in the middle of wait, what, why?! Let me paint you a picture: mesh, broken glass, chains, bright fabric, water, light, cameras, and eyes.
Jody Culkin: Refashioned reveals the chains of women fashion, and reinvents them in a capricious light to expose the issue of fashion: our clothes can make us prisoners. Much of her inspiration came from the Victorian household she grew up in (inside information thanks to curator Kathy Goncharov, a close friend of Culkin's). So the contemporary artist refashioned pieces of art take modern daywear and transform them with a Victorian element.
As an active feminist, Culkin's art also contains elements of female anatomy. This image sparks confusion in our minds as we try to compartmentalize the vision of the art. But contemporary art is not meant to be compartmentalized, it has an agenda of its own, and a large amount of history to play with. There is a refashioned burka out of white mesh with little purple propellers on each sleeve. This may be so the wearer can fly away from her repression.
However, the onlooker will notice the gold rectangle as the eye piece and it creates a sense of suppressed, imprisoned, clothing that is not simply a woman's dress but her fabricated chains. And as we view this piece, we feel trapped, ensnared. A little to the right is a hanging chain of black mesh filled with broken glass. It begs the question, what kind of jewelry are your chains made from? Subversive, yes. Repressive, no!
As I fulfilled the task of documenting and measuring each piece of art, a few museum visitors took a look around. The immediate reaction of many was to turn and walk away- I actually heard "no, I don't like this" from a woman within the first 20 seconds looking around her. Other women would exclaim at how cute the purse with the roving eyes is, but they would silently pass by the more abrasive elements of the collection. I wanted to give them a tour so they could understand that this exhibit is meant to cause unease!
If only the women would have read the introduction to Jody Culkin: Refashioned they would have understood this art is not to look pretty. It is not to please the eye. It is to open the mind through the eyes. It is meant to make you feel. The exaggeration of the refashioned pieces is a call to arms: as a woman, how does our dress confine us? Does it present a feminine image that is meant to please the looker? Does our dress please us at all besides in the validation of the onlookers?
And which ogglers are we dressing to impress, exactly? How are we empowered when we display our bodies in this way? The exhibition itself exposes that if something is not "appealing" or "pleasant" to look at, our immediate reaction is to recoil. Does this look nice? No? Then I want nothing to do with it. How would you feel if people talked about you that way? And if we realize that we have the same reaction, wouldn't it be better to take a moment and let the art enter our brain, twist around our neurons and shoot something?
We cannot only appreciate the beautiful, the perfectly packaged. Most of it is just a mirage. Once we stop aiming for perfection and niceties we could accomplish something with our minds, our voice. Hence contemporary art, such as Jody Culkin: Refashioned, is an expression of where our world came from, the history of the upright Victorian society. And Jody Culkin: Refashioned is also a silent commentary on our reactions to something a contemporary artist refashioned to be less than perfect. Chains or shackles, our perception must break those gold and silver loops that keep us lost and mesmerized.
The Boca Raton Museum of Art may be renowned for its extensive collection of fine art and for its impressive array of exhibitions but few may know the significant impact the museum has with current artists working in our community. The Artists' Guild, an auxiliary of the Museum, is a very organized and self-sufficient community of artists who maintain a gallery in downtown Delray Beach. With over 20 juried exhibitions a year and over 350 members, the Boca art guild fosters the success of local artists while supporting the Museum with a portion of its proceeds. Upon entering The Artists' Guild Gallery I was met by Lorrie Turner (above) who has been involved in the arts since she was a child and has been a Boca art guild member ever since she first moved to Florida nearly nine years ago. She overflowed with information and enthusiasm as she told me everything there is to know about how the guild works. However, the main source of her excitement seemed to be the sense of community created among the members of the guild. Lorrie explained that when she moved to Florida and didn't know a soul, she joined the Boca Museum artist guild and was provided with an immediate circle of friends which has only grown throughout the years. The guild gives artists an opportunity not only to exhibit and sell their work but to network with other artists and grow through each other's feedback and collaboration.© Durga Garcia "The Tutu and the Airplane" DurgaGarcia.comI spoke with local photographer and curator for the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in West Palm Beach, Durga Garcia (above), who is in the process of becoming a signature member of the guild. This status would allow her to exhibit in the gallery space so long as her works pass the double jury process, of which I have no doubt they will. Durga is very active in the South Florida art scene and her work has been awarded in many local, national and international juried competitions in addition to her work at the Boca art guild.So, for all you art enthusiasts out there don't forget to visit The Artists' Guild Gallery and see what today's local artists are coming up with. Keep in mind there is the "Artists' Choice Gallery" section in that rear of the Boca art guild where they display smaller canvas pieces, prints, photographs and sculptures for those art lovers on a budget. So stop on by and show your support for local artists as well as the Boca Museum of Art!For more information please visit 512 East Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33483 (561.278.7877) to learn more about becoming a member of the Boca Museum artist guild.
When the summer of 2012 began, I never thought I would be sitting where I am right now writing this. As the school year wound to a close and summer began, I was hoping (if I was lucky) I would find myself with volunteer opportunities at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. I finished my first year of school at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and headed home with my love of art history fortified by the classes I had taken the past two semesters.
When I started fishing for volunteer positions, Lori Geiger, the Visitor Services and Volunteer Manager went above and beyond to help me get involved with the Museum. It is thanks to her help that I found myself in a Curatorial Intern position - a daunting title for an art history major with only one year of college under her belt.
When I met with Lori at the beginning of the summer she told me about some opportunities that would be turning up in July. They seemed pretty standard: being a gallery attendant and helping the museum staff. I was excited at the prospect of hanging out in an art museum all summer, but never imagined I would be doing anything too official.
In early July I worked with Martin Hanahan, the Museums Registrar, in the deconstruction of two outgoing exhibitions, the 61st Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition and the Artists Guild Biennial Exhibition. During the two-day period I got to know Martin, and I met Kelli Bodle, the Assistant Curator of the Museum. I got advice on being an art history major and my future in curating. The experience of just being behind the scenes of a museum exhibit and meeting the people that make it possible made me want to help more and see more of what it takes to operate a museum. I began wondering if there was anything else I could do, any odd jobs or research projects. I was completely willing to freelance.
A few weeks into my new Big Art: Miniature Golf gallery attendant position that I shared with about 10 other college students, I received an email from Kelli asking if I would like to be a Curatorial intern for the rest of the summer. On top of my Golf Marshal status, which I loved having, I would do more behind the scenes work with Kelli and Martin, which is what I was interested in all along! I quickly got started on learning the collections database, and becoming familiar with the various offices in the Museum.
So now, here I am - writing in my own cubicle in the Curatorial Office; almost in disbelief, but mostly just loving every minute of working at the Boca Raton Museum of Art.
Hello to all again, my chronicle of The Art Schools summer community is at an end with this final post of the trilogy. I have learned so much through this assignment which has opened my mind and expanded my creative sensibilities. Growing up I experienced art through dance and music. Once I had the freedom to discover different courses and areas of study at college, I fell in love with all forms of the visual arts.
Observing the creativity of all the students and the development of each project has given me a fuller understanding that art takes patience and time. That being true, the instant gratification that is seen on the artists face once the project is finished is worth a thousand words.
The adults finished up their egg tempera pieces, artistic interpretations in oils, and fixed up the minor mistakes.
This journey has reinforced for me the importance of exploration and finding ones true passion. This unique experience has strengthened, expanded and brought new ideas and a different mindset as to how I will approach my new endeavors in the art world. Thank you to all the artists I had the pleasure of meeting and their stories of how they were inspired by art. I hope you all continue creating your beautiful pieces and remember that life is short, enjoy every moment! Its not goodbye, its see you soon. Have a wonderful rest of your summer!

New Equipment Finance Comparison Site Empowers SMEs
Australia's first asset and equipment finance comparison website has been launched. Finnovate.com.au will empower small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) with choice and trigger competition among lenders through total rate transparency, its founders say.
The web-based business finance model allows businesses to access and compare the rates and fees of nine major lenders and apply for equipment and vehicle finance leasing online.
"Unlike mortgage financing, which operates to a fairly homogenous interest rate model, it is widely acknowledged that rates offered to SMEs are far more variable and more difficult to compare on a like-for-like basis," said Chris Beath of A Class Business Finance, the Brisbane-based asset finance group that launched the website.
"There has been a long-standing lack of legitimate competitive pressure in the SME loan segment, largely due to the fact that lenders keep their rates very close to their chests, and borrowing insight has suffered because of this," Beath said. "Finnovate totally changes the game – until now there has been nothing like this in the business sector and for an industry like manufacturing that relies heavily on modern machinery and equipment, this is a particularly important milestone.
"We are fighting hard for Australian business by introducing greater transparency in this space, and the fact that nine of Australia's biggest banks and financiers have come to the table and partnered with us proves that we have a product that represents the future of business finance in this country."
Finnovate is claimed to be an independent and impartial entity and does not advise businesses on which lender to select. Beath said the website was designed to be user-friendly, offering a convenient and efficient online application process for equipment and vehicle finance transactions up to $1 million. Finnovate will personally handle transactions over $1 million.
"Each step is explained in layman's terms and users can access a help function throughout the site," Beath said. "The application process takes between five and 15 minutes to complete, and that's the vast majority of the application done. The final steps are completed over the phone or in person with the chosen financier, who contacts the client directly within 24 hours.
"What we are providing is a 24/7 one-stop shop for business finance from rate comparison and application through to approval, and we believe this will be the catalyst for change in Australia's business finance landscape."

The place has received its name by combination of words Solang (Nearby village) and Nullah (water streams from mountains). It is situated on way to Dhundi from MAnali.
Heavy snow fall in winter makes it heaven for snow skiing . Auli and Solang have fine slopes for skiing and umber of national/international competitions are organized at the place. ABVIMAS Manali has their establishment there and conduct skking course from Jan-March every year.Solang also attracts number of leisure tourists who just want to enjoy snow.In summer weather here is very pleasant and it becomes tourist attraction because of scenric views around the place(snow peak mountains and water streams). Main activities include Jorbing,Para Gliding and horse riding.
To reach this place, one can follow direct road from Manali to Dhundi.Other way to reach is by trekking,where one passes through Old Manali,barua and banang villages. Trekking will involve small mountain water streams on the way. Best time for trekking is May to November, since snow will not be there.
Number of accommodation options are available as many hotels have came up recently. Adventurers will like to stay in tents and be near to nature.
Environment concerns are there due to Rohang tunnel. Tunnel will start from Dhundi and will lead upto Lahaul valley. This may lead to short term increase in number tourists for Solang Nala but change in enviornment conditions can have long term impact.
For the time being , I will say It is very good place to spend some days off irrespective it is winter or summer.

The new Stickmate LX300 from Hobart Welding can light a 300-amp fire with AC output, but is also capable of more mild-mannered habits with 200-amps of DC arc.
The AC/DC output enables the use of specialty electrodes for a wide range of metals, including mild steel, cast iron, aluminum and more. It is ideal for big jobs on the farm or ranch and is right at home on maintenance repairs and hobbyist applications as well.
The Stickmate LX's power source features Accu-Set, which allows the user to finetune the arc in 1-amp increments. The machine is also rated for higher duty cycles with reduced output to give more time welding on thinner materials.

Games Guru Gabe Newell to Get BAFTA Fellowship
The Valve CEO, whose résumé boasts "Half-Life" and "Counter-Strike," will be given the accolade at this year's British Academy Games Awards.
LONDON -- Valve CEO Gabe Newell is to be presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) with the Academy fellowship during this year's British Academy Games Awards.
Awarded annually by BAFTA, the fellowship is the highest accolade given to an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to the industry.
With a career spanning three decades, beginning with Microsoft in 1983 and then as head of Valve from the company's birth in 1996, Newell follows in the footsteps of other games fellows, including Peter Molyneux, Shigeru Miyamoto and Will Wright.
Following the development and release of games Half-Life and Counter-Strike, in 2004 Newell led Valve's introduction of a fresh digital platform for PC games, Steam.
Now the service offers gamers access to more than 2,000 games from 200-plus independent and commercial studios, enabling greater reward for creativity among those making and publishing their own titles. It has more than 50 million active accounts on PCs, Macs and Linux computers across the globe.
Newell's Valve has won BAFTAs for Left 4 Dead in 2009 and Left 4 Dead 2 in 2010 in the best multiplayer category, while Portal 2 in 2012 won the best game, story and design nods.
BAFTA Games committee chair Harvey Elliot described Newell's contribution to the industry as unique, noting he "is very different to many others that BAFTA could recognize."
Elliot said, "As well as enjoying great critical and commercial success with phenomenally popular franchises such as Portal and Half-Life, his work in giving back to the games industry through developing and showcasing other games makers has been outstanding."
The British Academy Games Awards will take place March 5 in central London hosted for the fifth consecutive year by Irish comedian and gamer Dara O Briain.
The ceremony will be streamed live on Twitch with a highlights show scheduled to air March 11 on digital TV channel Challeng.
