Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
The Art Department at Wabash College is excited to announce its first exhibit of the season. Wabash College professor of art Doug Calisch will show "Lost and Found, Again" in the Eric Dean Gallery from September 5 through October 10 with a public reception 5-7 p.m. on Friday, September 5.
"When you visit the exhibit you will be transported into an environment filled with delightful, fantastic objects, and visions of the past," says gallery director Michael Atwell. "These have been collected by Calisch and assembled into intriguing sculptures and photographs.
"These 'found objects' have been gathered or photographed from sites across the country and abroad. Calisch acknowledges that each item brings its own story of human usage, which he takes to weave new stories of his own by placing seemingly unrelated parts together."
Calisch is professor of art at Wabash College and is in his 29th year. He received his M.F.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1979 and his B.F.A. in 1976 from the University of Illinois. He teaches 3-D Design Foundations and all levels of sculpture, ceramics and photography. Public commissions of his work are installed at work Purdue University, Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie IN, and the city of Osaka, Japan.
Calisch says this about his exhibit, "By working with found materials, complete with their associations and histories, I attempt to create an opportunity for each of us to reflect on our own."
The Eric Dean Gallery is located on the south end of the Fine Arts Center. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The gallery is free and open to the public.

Six traffic post applicants die after fitness test
Another person apparently committed suicide in frustration after the test, the news station reported. Provincial Transport, Community Safety and Liaison MEC Willies Mchunu could not be reached for comment about the deaths.
However, in a statement on Saturday he said he would investigate the incident whereby "scores" of people who were trying to get a job at the road traffic inspectorate, collapsed during a fitness test.
"More than 34 000 applicants qualified for the 90 trainee posts which were advertised," said Mchunu in a statement.
He said that 15 600 applicants attended a fitness test at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Thursday, and a similar number attended on Friday.
"Scores of them could not cope with the hot weather condition and collapsed." Many were taken to hospital. Mchunu said that he would meet with those in charge of the test on Saturday.
"We regret any injuries or loss of lives as a result of the fitness test," he said.

Liberty News
Liberty joins Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia
Liberty University's new membership in the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia promises to be mutually beneficial.
The Bedford, Va.-based council with 27 private, fully-accredited member institutions lobbies for state policies and funding that will benefit all private colleges, as well as the pocketbooks of students who attend them.
"The advantage for us is that the Council for Independent Colleges has long been looked at in Richmond with the General Assembly as the most prominent voice on behalf of private colleges in Virginia," said Boyd Rist, LU provost and vice president of academic affairs.
LU had been asked to join the CICV in the past, but one issue that spurred the university to become a member now is the status of Virginia Tuition Assistance Grants (VTAG).
"It's very bleak times in the Commonwealth," said Robert Lambeth Jr., president of the CICV.
With state revenues down, some private colleges fear VTAG funding cuts.
"We're joining the CICV to fight to protect those Tuition Assistance Grants on behalf of our students because we know how important they are to all of our Virginia students," said LU Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr.
The VTAG currently offers $3,200 to undergraduate students and $1,900 to graduate students who attend private colleges statewide. About 20,000 young people in the Commonwealth use these grants, amounting to about $60 million per year. Of that amount, Liberty University students receive a substantial portion — $10 million.
As the largest private university in the state, Falwell believes that LU can make a great impact with the CICV.
"I think the fact that we're a member will help CICV make more progress in their lobbying efforts in Richmond. Liberty is known as a conservative school, so I think it will help with the conservative legislators and politicians when they see that Liberty is a member," said Falwell.
The Chancellor spoke before a meeting of the council in Lynchburg earlier this week, as did distinguished politicians such as Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell, U.S. Rep. 6th district Bob Goodlatte and state Sen. Steve Newman.
"The state schools in Virginia receive substantially more support from government than do the private schools. We believe that state support for private schools is a better bargain for the taxpayer because we educate students with private money, and it requires less contribution from the taxpayers," Falwell said.

Localization of specific peptides, proteins, and macromolecular complexes to the mitochondria in mammalian cells is generally accomplished through the use of peptide signals that mediate transport to the organelle. Recombinant plasmids have been constructed that contain a fusion protein consisting of the yellow-green variant (referred to as enhanced yellow fluorescent protein; EYFP) of the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) coupled to the mitochondrial targeting nucleotide sequence from subunit VIII of human cytochrome C oxidase. Upon transcription and translation of the plasmid in transfected mammalian hosts, the mitochondrial localization signal is responsible for transport and distribution of the fluorescent protein chimera throughout the cellular mitochondrial network. Tubular mitochondria can be subsequently visualized using fluorescence microscopy.
The culture of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells presented in the digital image above was labeled with DAPI and Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin, which target DNA in the cell nucleus and the F-actin cytoskeletal network, respectively. In addition, the cells were transfected with a pEYFP-Mitochondria (enhanced yellow fluorescent protein) chimeric plasmid subcellular localization vector. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
I know we all need some humor now and then, but I have to say that the some of the comments concerning a near fatal accident seem a bit over-the-top. If you want to see the comments from a couple of other climbing forums on this incident:http://gunks.com/ubbthreads7/ubbthreads.php/topics/56206/7http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1379530/Help-a-Climber-Round-2I see plenty of instances of folks lowering partners without tying in or tying a knot in the end of the rope (Including myself). I'm sure if I asked, the answer would be that it's not needed because the climb is well under half a rope.We all do the right thing nearly all of the time, or we would all be crippled or dead. We should admit though that it is just possible this could happen to any of us some day and take a lesson from someone brave enough to write about their incredibly difficult experience.
How can you search the soul when you are looking outside for the blame?
Let's not kid ourselves - if the victim and his partner were not so prominent in the climbing community and also on the message boards that you posted links to, it's likely the comments would be far more critical.
Climb hard, climb well, be careful, and come back safe everyone.
The idea that there is any attempt to shift responsibility somewhere else is just a misreading of the account.
As if dealing with guilt, shame, and grief were not enough, then came the anger. I was angry that someone, somewhere put a route up not thinking that someone, somewhere, may not be using a 70 meter rope. Did the last three meters really make a difference in the route? No. Then why not place the bolts so a standard 60 meter rope reaches the ground? It was plain stupidity and misplaced ego and pride from the route setters, from my standpoint. City of Rocks is becoming notorious for having bolted anchors that are more than thirty meters from the ground. Jim Bridwell rapped off the end of his ropes there a few years ago, and unfortunately, there have been many other accidents of this type that ended up having more serious consequences. Another couple had the same unfortunate experience just a few weeks before us, except that her husband fell 50 and didnt live. How many people will have to die before safe bolt anchor practices become standard?
Here, I have always thought, was an incredible outpouring of human decency, an instinct to protect a total stranger even to the extent of risking injury oneself.

I've had so many fabric-esque thoughts going through my head of late. Dreams of Shinzi Katoh designs and cute shops in Japan, more dreams about Marimekko and Scandinavian design and Lotta Jansdotter and shapes and colours and ideas running through my head. A new design popped out - exciting. Will show you later ;)
I am soooooo eagre to get my next batch of fabric designs/colourways printed!! I've been waiting weeks for my fabric supplier to get more linen in, and finally it's on it's way to the printer. Now I just have to wait for them not to be busy. Damn it's so frustratingly slow this process. I need to learn to have a few batches in the works at once rather than consecutively.
Anyway, I got all giddy with excitement the other day when I fiiiinally got to make some fabric mix packs out of the cotton/linen fabrics! All orders and swaps out of the way, I could cut up the rest. And they'll be up in the shop tomorrow morning at 9:00am.
I love a plant you can propagate as easily as chopping off a branch and plonking it in a new pot of soil. Note said mix packs in background :)

Hi Lara!
I've got some old Marimekko scraps I know I don't use, and thought maybe you would like to have them? They're about 13x13cm squares (if I remember right), quite dark colors and simple designs (mostly stripes).

The 5 Beauty Tools You Didn't Know You Needed
Some beauty breakthroughs make a huge splash. Like when the styling wand debuted, and suddenly curling irons lost their clamp on our attention. Or when Sephora teamed up with Pantone to create a device that expertly colour matches foundation with our skin tone, and we all headed to our nearest retailer. But then there are those equally amazing innovations that largely fly under the radar. Like these five beauty tools that you didn't even know could make your life easier…until now.
Click through the above slideshow to get the scoop on these must-have treasures…
Tangle Teezer ($16)
We've all been warned about the dangers of brushing hair when wet, but unfortunately impatience often trumps hair health. If waiting to tackle your tresses until they are 90% dry just isn't going to happen, grab a Tangle Teezer. The handleless brush has soft plastic bristles in varying lengths that comb through wet hair—seriously straight-out-of-the-shower, sopping wet strands—sans tugging. It's damage-free detangling for all hair types.
Boscia Konjac Sponge ($18)
If you've been a Clarisonic ($199) devotee for the better part of a decade (guilty), it can be difficult to admit that there may be something equally interesting out there. And yet who can resist the novelty of a squishy sponge for the face? Even after the initial amusement of its almost rubbery consistency wears off, you'll be hooked. Thanks to the ultra fine texture of the natural fibers that polish the skin, dirt, oil and blackheads will no longer find safe haven in your pores.
Becca The One Perfecting Brush ($49)
It's a brush that takes the place of 10 different application tools, covering everything from concealer application to contouring and more. The secret to the brush's multitasking success is twofold. The 3.5-inch horizontal design features flat edges and curved corners that cover large and small areas alike. And the densely packed, long, flexible bristles make an array of application techniques possible.
Shu Uemera New Generation Eyelash S Curler ($24)
Finally an eyelash curler that truly fits eyes of all shapes and sizes! This pint-sized makeup bag must-have is intentionally tiny to allow you reach every last lash—your outer corner eyelashes will never feel neglected again. The S Curler is also the perfect accoutrement for all those Type A beauty addicts who crave control. The precision of this curler is simply unparalleled, making it a foolproof purchase.
Sonia Kashuk Spa Body Brush ($7)
Dry brushing does more than just exfoliate. It boosts circulation, increases lymphatic drainage, and reduces cellulite over time. Start at your feet and, using long strokes, gently sweep the brush up towards your heart. Think of it as a mini spa treatment to start or end your day.

No one likes facing a knuckleball pitcher. Not even one who has struggled a bit of late because the thing about the knuckler is, when it's good, it's almost impossible to hit.
Such was the case Tuesday when the red-hot Angels put their five-game winning streak and 11-game home winning streak on the line against the Toronto Blue Jays.
R.A. Dickey thoroughly shut down the Angels on four hits in seven innings of work. And thanks to four hits and three RBIs from Jose Reyes, the Blue Jays defeated the Angels 4-0 before 38,111 at Angel Stadium.
The loss prevented the Angels (52-37) from tying the franchise mark for consecutive home victories of 12. They also fell 4 1/2 games behind Oakland in the AL West. The Angels came in having won 14 of 17.
Toronoto (48-44) snapped a five-game losing streak and gained a half-game on the first-place Orioles in the AL East. Baltimore was rained out, so the second-place Blue Jays now trail them by 2 1/2 games. Toronto banged out 14 hits.
Leading 1-0, Toronto got a two-run home run by Reyes off starting and losing pitcher Tyler Skaggs (4-5) in the top of the seventh for all the insurance it needed. Reyes also had an RBI single in the fifth. Skaggs tossed 6 2/3 innings and allowed three earned runs and 11 hits while striking out two.
Dickey (7-8) struck out five and walked just one. He had lost his past four starts.
Josh Hamilton went 0 for 4 on the night, 0 for 3 against Dickey. He was asked why it was so difficult to hit off the 39-year-old.
"Because he throws a knuckleball," Hamilton said.
Dickey is the only pitcher in the majors who uses the knuckler as his primary pitch. But Hamilton doesn't necessarily think that makes him more difficult to hit.
"It depends on the night," he said. "I mean, if he's throwing strikes with it, then it's a little more difficult than not. So that's it. I love knuckleball pitchers. I just didn't get any hits tonight."
Hamilton has been slumping and has seen his average go from .315 on July 1 to .284.
Manager Mike Scioscia echoed part of Hamilton's sentiment.
"He had it dancing tonight, and he had it in the zone," Scioscia said of Dickey's knuckleball. "We faced him a couple of times when he's out of the zone with it and if he's really struggling to get it into the zone, it looks like you get some pretty good looks at him. He had some really good movement and he was throwing strikes with it."
Dickey was asked to compare his knuckler Tuesday to his best of the season.
"Similar. Very similar," he said. "I think changing speed really helps. I try to do that from the first inning on. That's something I've been trying to work on, is changing speeds with that knuckleball throughout the course of the game and not just the first or second inning, but really trying to keep 'em guessing as far as the speed goes. And the movement was very good.
"You'd have to ask them what they were seeing at the plate, but when it was leaving my hand I could see visibly that it was moving in multiple directions, so that's always a good sign."
The Angels got only one man to third base off Dickey. That was in the seventh. Mike Trout almost got there in the sixth, but was gunned down by left fielder Melky Cabrera trying to stretch a double.
As for Skaggs, Scioscia liked the way his left-hander threw the ball.
"I thought Tyler pitched a really good ballgame and outside of a couple of pitches — maybe a changeup to Jose Reyes that ended up in the bullpen — I thought he was in a zone early and often," he said. "He showed a good breaking ball. He did have a good changeup tonight. He pitched a real good game. He battled to a certain point, but he pitched with his back against the wall the whole game."
Skaggs agreed with his manager.
"I thought I threw the ball really well," Skaggs said. "Gave up a little too many hits, but I faced them last time (a 5-3 win on May 10) and they were swinging early and they kept swinging today. I've gotta tip my cap. They swung the bats a lot better than I've seen them in the past and they put together good at bats, and it is what it is."
The rubber match of the series is today at 12:35 p.m.

He was the one
A few years ago I was informed that there was an uncatchable kitten with injured back legs not far from my home. I was horrified when I saw him for the first time. He was shivering under a car, tiny and scared, with his hind legs cut off just below the knees. I tried to catch him but he was shy, distrustful, and totally unapproachable. Despite his injuries, he was as fast as lightning. Deeply moved by his misfortune, I knew he'd change my life forever.
For about two weeks I had been trying to catch him, without success. Eventually, he somehow fell into the basement and got caught in a humane trap I had left there. As soon as I picked him up he went limp and I could see his horrible injuries were old. His hind legs were severed below the knee joints, and the vet discovered he also had a prolapsed rectum. It's quite unbelievable how he managed to survive all alone on the street in that condition - it can be explained only by his enormous desire to live. He was a genuine fighter.
When I found him, Milance was about three months old. His first surgery was for the rectal prolapse repair. A month later, the skin was sutured over the end of the bone of each leg, forming stumps. Being a kitten, Milance was growing fairly quickly and the bone of his left leg kept protruding through the skin every now and then. He underwent several surgeries but that problem just couldn't be solved permanently.
Milance had lived with me for a year and a half, but I don't know for sure if he was aware of his disability. He was a cheerful, joyous, playful kitty, with vivid curious eyes, who fully participated in the usual cat activities. My apartment was completely adapted for a cat with special needs. He had his easy-chair on the terrace, his scratching post, plus he managed to climb onto the bed… he had many friends. He got along very well with the other cats, they were playing and sleeping together, always snuggling and cuddling. Sometimes, while he watched them running around, I thought I saw a shadow of sadness crossing his beautiful eyes but it lasted only for a flash – or maybe it was just my imagination
If none of these terrible things had happened to him, Milance would have grown into a huge, magnificent tomcat. That was the most serious problem. He was getting bigger and heavier every day and his stumps couldn't bear his weight, so the wounds started to open up. One day I noticed that his left stump was swollen, but he wouldn't allow me to touch it. The next night, his loud purring woke me up – he was cuddling with me until morning as if he was saying goodbye. I knew I had held him for the last time.
I took him to the vet and it turned out that his thigh bone was broken longitudinally and he was diagnosed with sepsis. Nothing could have been done except to put him down. I remember just standing there looking at him with tears running down my face as the sorrow and overwhelming grief filled the room. His life had come to an end entirely too soon and way too abruptly, but I was sure he went to a better place and would be looking over me for many years to come.
Milance didn't live long enough to see my shelter but I feel his presence everywhere. I miss him terribly but I am grateful to have had him be a part of my life. During his short time on this Earth he touched the hearts of so many and his story became a tale of courage, hope and faith. He will never be forgotten.
If I close my eyes, I can still see him…
6 comments:
What a touching story. Was the cause of his injuries known...abuse in the street, I am assuming? Thank you for taking care of him, I am sure he is looking down at you and your shelter from across the Rainbow Bridge. :-)

Korn Announce New 'Path of Totality' Tour Dates
Korn are once again hitting the road to share their nu-metal / dubstup osmosis with U.S. fans. After a very successful run of dates late last year, Korn will kick off their next leg of the 'Path of Totality' tour in Detroit on Feb. 23.
Korn have brought an interesting and unique tour into the music scene. Instead of other hard rock / metal opening acts, the band recruited a number of DJs to warm up their crowd. Although the tactic received mixed reactions, as we covered when Korn dubstepped their way into New York City, the band will bring 'The Path of Totality' contributor Kill the Noise on select dates.
Korn's 2011 'The Path of Totality' experiment was received with very mixed reviews with both high praise and heavy criticism aimed at the album. Although slammed by some, Revolver named 'The Path of Totality' the best album of 2011.
Tickets for most of the upcoming Korn shows are set to go on sale for the general public this weekend. Special pre-sale tickets and VIP packages will be available on Korn's website starting Wednesday, Jan. 18.

"Today, Line 6 is better positioned to deliver innovative products to a larger group of markets and customers than ever before."
Calabasas, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
Line 6, leading manufacturer of innovative solutions for musicians, today announced executive leadership changes designed to enhance the company's focus on live sound and new markets. Paul Foeckler has been promoted to President and CEO, co-founder Marcus Ryle has assumed the role of Chief Strategy Officer and Joe Bentivegna has been named Chief Operating Officer. Foeckler succeeds Mike Muench, who recently resigned after a 14-year tenure as President and CEO, during which time he transformed the company from a small start-up into a significant player in the industry.
For the past year, Paul Foeckler has led the Line 6 product and marketing teams. Prior to Line 6, he held executive roles in product development, sales and marketing at Digidesign, M-Audio and Avid, where he led expansion into new markets while delivering significant revenue growth and industry-acclaimed product developments.
"The Line 6 Board of Directors is enthusiastic about promoting Paul Foeckler to be the company's new President and CEO," said Michael Brown, Chairman of the Board. "Paul brings a unique combination of strategic acumen and creativity, in addition to experience in growing revenues through groundbreaking products. His focus on innovation aligns perfectly with the Line 6 mission. His background in professional audio and live sound will be essential as the company continues to develop new products in these markets."
"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Line 6, and I am excited for our future," said President and CEO Paul Foeckler. "Line 6 enjoys an extraordinary track record of innovation, and I am passionate about continuing to transform the way musicians create and perform—from guitar technology to live sound, mobile and beyond. Marcus Ryle's appointment to Chief Strategy Officer recognizes his history of thought leadership within the company, and positions Line 6 to continue to innovate in our products as well as in our approaches to the markets we serve."
"And by promoting Joe Bentivegna to the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer, we're bringing his proven operational strengths to a role that's key to growing the company," continued Foeckler. "The entire senior leadership team brings decades of experience and proven success to the job. I'm confident that we'll continue pushing the limits of innovation and provide solutions that inspire creativity for musicians."
"Line 6's passion for excellence and commitment to the development of new technologies for musicians, and especially guitarists, has never been stronger," said Line 6 co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Marcus Ryle. "Today, Line 6 is better positioned to deliver innovative products to a larger group of markets and customers than ever before."

BMW Technology of CES 2014 Details:
- New tech falls under company's ConnectedDrive branch of development
- ConnectedDrive services include BMW Online for local weather, news & additional Web-based functions
- i3 owners can stay connected to their car via Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch w/i Remote app
- Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, Traffic Jam Assistant, Active Cruise Control, & other systems are products of BMW's advanced control tech
BMW is using this week's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, to shine a light on future tech and new applications it has in the pipeline, much of it connectivity based. The new branch of automotive development – dubbed ConnectedDrive by the automaker, and borne from the Technik division in Munich, Germany – focuses on every aspect of the connection between driver, vehicle and the outside world.
Both a 6 Series Gran Coupe and 2 Series are rocking ConnectedDrive bells and whistles at the 2014 CES. Services ConnectedDrive offers include BMW Online, which gives users access to current, localized information such as weather, news, online search and office functions. It's also possible to put together individualized services such as webcams, parking information and travel or hotel guides.
BMW also brought in one of its new i3 electric subcompacts to show off the Samsung Galaxy Gear with i Remote app, which keeps drivers connected with their i3 at all times through the Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The app works to provide users with the assistance they need outside the car, and makes BMW the world's first car brand to present vehicle functions on an electronic wristwatch.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear with BMW i Remote offers information on the battery charge and available range of the i3, as well as any departure times that have been inputted. The research application also shows whether the windows, doors and sunroof are closed and allows users to send a navigation destination to the vehicle or adjust the on-board climate – with the option of spoken commands via S Voice, Samsung's speech recognition assistant.
Other existing tech has been repurposed or expanded, like the cameras BMW puts on its vehicles. Established systems like Lane Departure Warning and traffic sign recognition use the data from those cams to perform, but now visual detection can also be used for the new Collision Warning system, Pedestrian Warning with city braking function, Traffic Jam Assistant, and Active Cruise Control. BMW says cameras are cheaper than, say, installing radar into all of its cars.
Many of these systems came together in BMW's research prototype vehicle, a semi-autonomous M235i coupe for testing the limits of the company's advanced control tech, like its new Parking Assistant. The setup uses ultrasound sensors, electronically controlled steering, forward and reverse gears, and braking to take over parallel parking. All the driver has to do is hold down a button activating the new assistance system and make sure the car doesn't go psycho and kill some unwitting victim.
The research prototype vehicle raised eyebrows at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway earlier in the week, when BMW drifted the thing sans driver. BMW's latest autonomous driving-assistant system actively takes part in the driving process, operating the accelerator, steering and brakes fully independent of the driver, even in full oversteer. It'll even show you the optimal line around a race track, accelerating hard down straights and lining up corner apexes perfectly, begging the question: how far away are we from driver-less race cars?
We've seen the future – and it involves robotic cars and the end of the human race as we know it. Look for BMW to be leading the way.

If hanging upside down in a sling isn't your idea of fun, a fitness trend that's expanding across North America may not be for you.
But if blending the thrill of a circus with the chill of yoga sounds like nirvana, you'll be glad aerial yoga has arrived.
During the last decade, aerial performers based in New York have adapted the fabric trapeze into a piece of equipment that allows people to suspend themselves above the floor for superior stretching, particularly in the spine. Their trademarked techniques are called AntiGravity Yoga and Unnata Yoga
The latest entry into the field is a small studio in a Coquitlam strip mall that offers 40 per cent of its classes in the air.
"It's all about release," says Prestonne Domareski, co-owner of Gravity Yoga "The point of it is to relax into the pose. If you do, gravity will do its job."
Although the yoga studio just opened in January, she says evening classes are already popular.
"Once you're able to flip upside-down and stay there for a few minutes, your spine decompresses, your organs shift, even your skin moves. Everything works more efficiently afterward," says Gravity Yoga co-owner Nicole Whitman.
Two other Vancouver businesses — Tantra Fitness and the Steve Nash Sports Club on Granville — have offered aerial yoga for the past few years, but as a small part of their larger range of exercise classes.
Trying the class once at any of the clubs will cost around $25 with the price going down substantially for a longer commitment.
Tantra Fitness founder and owner Tammy Morris says her studio, which is moving to Gastown in April, treats aerial yoga as an introductory step toward a related circus art known as aerial silks, a combination of strength and acrobatics popularized by the Cirque du Soleil entertainment troupe that uses two lengths of fabric suspended from the ceiling.
(Despite the name "silks," the hammocks and related gear are made of polyester.)
"When people hear the word yoga, they think it's easy," she says. "It can be challenging for different reasons.
"The fabric is holding your body weight. If you're heavier it can pinch," says Morris. "It's not for everyone."
And it requires body awareness, says Whitman, because inverted poses are awkward to perform at first.
There's also a certain amount of fearlessness needed for the AntiGravity Yoga class at the Steve Nash Sports Club on Granville Street. Instructor Derek Ralphs leads new students through inverse positions where they have to trust that the hammock wrapped only around their hips, for instance, will safety hold them off the ground.
The class has run for about two years. Regulars are typically devoted because it helps them with back problems, says Ralphs, a longtime yoga teacher who had back surgery after a climbing accident.
"There are also benefits from reverse blood flow to the head. And it's a lot of fun," he says.
After trying it out, I can vouch for the feel-good effects of inversion, but my dreams of life in the circus remain distant.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2014) – After being forced to push the start of the season back a day due to snow, the ETSU baseball team is ready to hit the field as the Blue and Gold open the 2014 campaign against Longwood on Saturday afternoon at Thomas Stadium.
The Bucs host the Big South Conference foe this weekend beginning at 1:05 p.m. Saturday. ETSU and the Lancers will also play at 1:05 p.m. on Sunday and Monday.
Saturday – 1:05 p.m. – Game No. 1
LHP Clinton Freeman (7-1, 3.04)* vs. RHP Aaron Myers (4-2, 3.30)
Sunday – 1:05 p.m. – Game No. 2
RHP Jimmy Nesselt (2-3, 4.21)* vs. LHP Brandon Vick (6-5, 3.95)
Monday – 1:05 p.m. – Game No. 3
RHP Griffin Krieg (2-5, 7.69)* vs. TBA (5-2, 2.98)
*2013 Stats
- The Bucs, who posted 36 wins and made their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, went 17-10 in conference play to finish fourth last season. The 36 wins were tied for the third-most in program history, while the 17 league wins are the most by the Bucs since joining the A-Sun in 2006.
- ETSU returns 25 players from last season's championship squad, including preseason All-America selection Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.). In addition to Freeman, sophomores Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Kevin Phillips (St. Louis, Mo.) return for a second season, while Dylan Tritsch (Boca Raton, Fla.) is back for his final year in the Blue and Gold. Taylor and Phillips landed A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors in 2013, while Tritsch hit .324 (72-222) with 11 doubles, two triples, two home runs, 21 stolen bases and 37 runs scored in his first season with the Bucs. Tritsch was recently named the A-Sun's "Top Baserunner" in the CollegeBaseballInsider.com preview. Meanwhile, Taylor, an A-Sun All-Tournament Team member, posted 12 doubles, 20 stolen bases and 45 runs scored.
- Freeman will help bolster a pitching staff which lost A-Sun Pitcher of the Year and First Team Louisville Slugger All-America Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.). Doane, who was taken in the 24th round of the MLB Draft by the Cleveland Indians, went 13-2 with a 2.14 ERA (35 ER/147.0 IP) and tossed four shutouts and 12 complete games. Freeman posted a 7-1 mark with a 3.04 ERA (19 ER/56.1 IP) in 25 appearances (three starts), but was 6-0 with a 0.65 ERA (3 ER/41.1 IP) in 22 appearances out of the bullpen and also converted all eight of his save opportunities. ETSU also returns strong relievers in seniors Will Chesney (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Jared Burton (Knoxville, Tenn.), while Logan Rice (Erwin, Tenn.), Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.), Josh Jacques (Rollinsford, N.H.) and Griffin Krieg (Nashville, Tenn.) provided the Bucs with valuable innings in the starting rotation. Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) returns for a final season after battling arm issues over the past year and a half, and the red-shirt senior right-hander will begin the season as ETSU's closer.
- With the Blue and Gold losing five key seniors from their 2013 championship roster in Doane, Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.), Alex Reynolds (Johnson City, Tenn.), Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) and Mason Hershey (Altoona, Pa.), head coach Tony Skole and his staff were busy on the recruiting circuit and brought in 10 new players. Green started all 60 games for the Bucs in 2013 and was named second team All A-Sun, while Reynolds and Niesman joined Doane and Taylor on the All-Tournament Team. Hershey started 54 games behind the plate for the Blue and Gold and registered 11 doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI.
- The 10 newcomers, which are all freshman, include pitcher/infielder Chris Cook (Kingsport, Tenn.), pitcher/outfielder Jamin McCann (Kingsport, Tenn.), catcher/infielder Gage Downey (Franklin, Tenn.), infielder Zach Mize (Gainesville, Ga.), pitchers Dillon Cate (Sevierville, Tenn.), Connor Bartow (Jonesborough, Tenn.), and Austin Hutchison (Jefferson County, Tenn.), outfielders Sam Jokerst (Atlanta), Brandon Moss (Atlanta), and Neil Peterson (Waynesville, N.C.).
- The Bucs play 35 of their 56 games at home this season, including weekend series with 2013 NCAA Tournament participants Canisius (Feb. 28-March 2) and Mercer (May 15-17). Bryant – the reigning Northeast Conference champion – visits Thomas Stadium for a three-game series from March 14-16. In addition, 2013 Southern Conference regular season champion Western Carolina comes to town on March 19, while Tennessee makes its annual visit to Johnson City on April 22. Overall, the Bucs' 2014 schedule features three teams who advanced to the NCAA Tournament a year ago, along with 12 programs that posted 30-plus win seasons in 2013.
- ETSU was picked to finish four in the A-Sun Preseason Coaches' Poll.
- The Lancers posted a 26-28 record in 2013 and finished seventh in their first season in the Big South Conference after going 12-12.
- Longwood returns 17 lettermen, including seven returning position starters and eight pitchers for first-year head coach Brian McCullough, who was a four-year starting pitcher for the Lancers from 2004-07. McCullough replaces Charles Buddy Bolding, who led Longwood to 953 victories in 35 seasons at the helm.
- The Lancers return their top three hitters from last season, including sophomore outfielder Kyri Washington, who led the team with six home runs and 37 RBI. Matt Dickason, a senior infielder, returns for his final year at Longwood after pacing the Lancers with a .331 batting average (60-181) in 2013. Senior two-way player Scott Burkett played in all 54 games a year ago, and led the team with 62 hits and ranked second with a .304 batting average.
- Longwood was picked to finish fifth in the Big South North Division.
- This marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
- Live stats will be available for all three games this weekend via StatBroadcast by visiting ETSUBucs.com. Fans can access live stats on their computers, mobile devices or tablets.
- Live updates will also be posted on Twitter by following @ETSUAthletics and @ETSU_Baseball.
The Valentine's Day promotion that was scheduled for Friday was moved to Saturday.

Benefits of Getting Outdoors and Enjoying Canton's Parks
Whether you are walking your dog, shooting hoops, or cooling off in one of our splash playgrounds, Canton's parks offer numerous leisure amenities.
In addition to these expected opportunities, Canton's parks can also provide measurable health benefits, from providing direct contact with nature and a cleaner environment, to opportunities for physical activity and social interaction.
Health Benefits
- Preliminary evidence suggests that using parks may lead to other healthy lifestyle choices, such as balanced eating.
- Outdoor exercise has been shown to renew energy and foster a sense of psychological restoration.
- Researchers have identified a positive correlation between play in parks and heightened concentration among children with attention deficit disorder.
Economic Benefits
- Parks increase property values - and improve the tax base - as home buyers are more often willing to pay a higher price for a residence near a park.
- Trees and shrubs reduce air pollution control expenses.
- Green spaces protect groundwater sources and their no-mow buffer zones can also cut the cost of area drinking water.

Rumor has it Microsoft is on the verge of axing the Pink Project. Come on, you remember those Pure Turtle phones we've been hearing about for months? The ones built by the former Danger/Sidekick team that might run Zune software and compete for the hearts and minds of tweens (TM PalmCast) everywhere? Yeah, those. Axed. Finished. Ballmered.
Seems like since their dear leader Andy Rubin left to father Android for Google, things have been on something of a downward spiral:
Amongst remaining employees, dissent is high. Much of the team uses iPhones around the office, or their old Sidekick handsets. Employees "hate the product" internally, many feeling that the division exists only to "challenge [the Windows Mobile 7 team] and upset them into competing." Our source outright indicated that they felt the product was never intended to ship.
Malatesta from WMExperts.com is hearing conflicting stories, so take the above with a FUD-sized grain of salt. Still, even if Pink isn't dead, given what's left of the Danger team, the designs we've seen leaked so far, and the fact that Windows Mobile needs all the help it can get right now, maybe it ought to be?

Harnessing Nature's Chemical Diversity for Drug DiscoveryActivity by Ruth Meaney | added on Apr 05, 2011 | Australia
Sponsor(s): The Royal Austrlian Chemical Insititue and Logan Libraries
More than one third of the top-selling drugs in the world are natural products or their derivatives. Dr Rohan Davis, Group Leader of the Natural Products Chemistry team at the Eskitis Institute, Griffith University will present a brief history on natural product drug discovery & detail current research.
Dr. Rohan Davis - April 2011 Seminar, Beenleigh Public Library
Biosketch: Dr. Davis obtained his Bachelor of Science (Honours) from the University of Melbourne in 1992, with co-majors in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
Rohan performed his doctoral studies at Griffith University in the area of marine organic chemistry, and was awarded his PhD degree in 2001. His thesis dissertation was entitled "Chemical Investigations of Great Barrier Reef Ascidians - Natural Product and Synthetic Studies". After 2 years post-doctoral experience at the University of Utah studying the anti-tumour activity of small molecules derived from marine invertebrates, Rohan was recruited back to Griffith University, and is currently group leader of the Natural Products Chemistry team at the Eskitis Institute. Dr. Davis has 64 publications in international chemistry journals, and currently holds one patent. His most significant research contributions have been in the field of natural products and medicinal chemistry. Dr. Davis has both industrial and academic research experience that has resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of over 1000 natural products from either plant, marine or microbial sources. For the past 7 years his research has focused on the identification and synthesis of compounds that display promising biological activity in therapeutic areas such as cancer, infection and inflammation.
Presentation title: Harnessing Nature's Chemical Diversity for Drug Discovery
Abstract: Nature has continuously provided the human race with a chemically diverse arsenal of pharmacologically active compounds that have been effectively utilised in the treatment of numerous diseases. More that one third of the top-selling drugs in the world are natural products or their derivatives. Well known examples include tacrolimus (immunosuppressant), erythromycin (antibiotic), paclitaxel (breast/ovarian/lung cancer), lovastatin (cholesterol lowering) and galantamine (anti-Alzheimer's). Due to the developing resistance of many cancer-types, microbes and parasites, and the minimal safety and efficacy associated with certain drugs on the market today, there is still a high demand for the discovery and development of new therapeutics. This presentation will include a brief history on natural product drug discovery, and will detail current research being undertaken at the Eskitis Institute, Griffith University.
