Mountain steepness for a once-a-year, barely intermediate skier: B
On-mountain food: A
Lack of Crowds: A+
Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Idaho is an uncrowded, low altitude ski resort in the northern part of Idaho near the city of Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille. In fact, with a top elevation of 6400 feet, Schweitzer is the one of the lowest altitude major ski resorts in the west. The adjacent town of Sandpoint is also at a comfortable 2130 feet, so anyone with high altitude problems should be fine here.
We flew into Spokane, Washington and rented a car with no problems, and then it was an easy 1.5 hour drive to our lodging. In half an hour, we drove through a lakeside town called Coeur d'Alene. On our return, we stopped and walked around the lake a bit and had a nice lunch there.
We were there in mid-March and there were no crowds at Schweitzer whatsoever. As you can see, I'm the only one on this ski lift on a weekday in March. The Schweitzer bunny hill is one of the longest I've ever been on, and is almost like a regular run. You cannot see the bottom from the top, unlike some others I've been on, like Brighton in Utah. It is also conveniently located next to a cafeteria, which had some great food. I think I had a gyro.
The front side runs at Schweitzer were a little too steep for us, while the runs on the back side were gentler, and more blue-green. It had also been three years since we'd previously skied too, so that may have had something to do with everything seeming so steep. While there were enough runs to keep someone like us busy for a week, I'm not sure if there's enough to keep active teenagers busy. While Schweitzer is certainly a decent-sized ski resort, it is small next to something as massive as Snowmass, which was our last ski trip before this one.
There is a great view of Lake Pend Oreille from the top of Schweitzer, and the lake is the focal point of the cute and compact town of Sandpoint. We stayed at the Lodge at Sandpoint, which sits right on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille, and our room had a beautiful view of the lake. In fact, the first picture you see on this website is a sunset overlooking that lake, with Schweitzer Mountain to the far right.
We found lots of good, fresh food in Sandpoint, which made the trip even more enjoyable. While our lodge proclaimed to serve a free breakfast, there was nothing offered I cared to eat, since I don't care for plain, white flour products. There was no protein offered, and I didn't think it would be wise to hit the slopes with just tea and a banana in my belly.
But we did find a wonderful restaurant in Sandpoint called DiLuna's, which served some marvelous breakfast selections, including German sausages and sweet potato hash browns, yum! Second Avenue Pizza had some of the best pizza topping combinations I've ever tasted, on some of the most loaded pizzas I've ever seen. The Pie Hut had unique sandwiches and homemade pies; great for take-out on the way home from skiing. This photo shows only half their pie selection!

A good day trip is a drive to Montana to see the rapids at Kootenai Falls. I love the sound of rushing water, which there's lots of, and there's even a swinging overhead bridge that kids would love. Quite a scenic and fun day trip.
If anybody's a train nut, the trains run right through this area, so you can see them up close if they happen to come by. All in all, we definitely enjoyed the town of Sandpoint and would certainly return to Schweitzer.

If state legislation to allow guns in parks is enacted, Metro Council members are prepared to respond by bringing forward legislation that would maintain the status quo in Davidson County.
Legislation has been approved by both Houses that would allow gun carry permit holders to bring guns into parks. It is awaiting a signature from Gov. Phil Bredesen.
Last week Bredesen vetoed similar legislation to allow guns in restaurants and bars, but legislators overrode that veto Thursday. The new law allowing guns in restaurants will go into effect July 14.
If Bredesen signs off on guns in parks, or if his veto is over-ridden again, then Council will respond by filing legislation that would again make carrying guns into Davidson County parks illegal.
"It is horrible public policy. The day the governor signs it, that same day I'm filing legislation to outlaw it locally," at-large Councilman Jerry Maynard said.
Metro Council already passed a memorializing resolution opposing guns in parks. The bill was co-sponsored by Maynard and fellow at-large Council member Megan Barry.
Metro oversees its own parks and would by charter be able to outlaw guns in parks, according to Maynard, if Council passed a law of its own.
The bill has support of other Council members as well, including District 7 Councilman Erik Cole. Mayor Karl Dean signed the memorializing resolution sponsored by Barry and Maynard.
Dean said he believes guns in both parks and bars is "a bad idea."
"I think there's a general feeling that our parks are highly populated, highly utilized," Cole said. "We are a large county and we have some rural areas but it seems like by and large the opinions I hear are folks would rather not have weapons in the parks at all."
The movement against guns in parks by Council comes at the same time that at-large Councilman Charlie Tygard is pursuing legislation that would allow Metro to pull beer permits of establishments that allow customers to carry guns.
When guns are outlawed only the outlaws will have them.
How arrogant of these two wanting to over rule state law and the Constitution.
We don't need representatives like this.
The biggest danger to the general public are gun-grabbing men and women like Jerry Maynard and Megan Barry. MORE GUNS EQUALS LESS CRIME. This is just fact. Read here: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/493636.html
Should Jerry Maynard and Megan Barry succeed, the present rate of violent crime, (including rape, murder and aggrevated assault), against law abiding citizens will remain UNNECESSARILY HIGH. My advice, contact the NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION for more information and help; then, vote Jerry Maynard and Megan Barry off the Metro Council.
How many violent crimes take place in our parks? Very few.
I use parks and greenways all the time. I feel perfectly safe.
If you are so scared, then carry a sturdy hiking staff or walking stick.
Why ever choose a higher crime rate over a lower crime rate? Is there an acceptable level of rape or of murder in Davidson County? More guns in parks will reduce the incidence of violent crime in parks. LESS crime is simply favorable to more crime.
I cannot believe that our legislators are so stupid, but alas, Tennessee is once again looked at as backwater, gun-toting, hillbillies who are living in the far distant past where macho cowboys had to carry guns to show how important they are.
I, for one, will not patronize an eating establishment that allows patrons to carry guns. I will not allow my safety and the safety of may family to be dependent upon some fool who has had a few drinks and thinks that he has to pull a gun in a crowded place to prove his manhood. If owners of these establishments really think that their places will be safer by allowing this idiocy, then they are bigger fools than the men who passed this asinine policy. Anyone who feels that they are safer by carrying a hand gun is liable to be shot with that gun when it is taken away from him by another fool with a bigger gun.
"incidence of violent crime in parks"
Please share with us precise data and statistics on how many violent crimes there are in city parks, break it down year by year, park by park.
Show us why this is so necessary. Give us facts, not fancies.
Pam, you wrote: I cannot believe that our legislators are so stupid, but alas, Tennessee is once again looked at as backwater, gun-toting, hillbillies who are living in the far distant past where macho cowboys had to carry guns to show how important they are.
I find your comments elitist. You see, Andrea Conte is protected by armed body guards and others have armed body guards. You are "ass-uming" that everyone who wants to be trained on a weapon, be legally licensed to carry is a jerk who just wants to play cowboy. I strongly disagree. I think there are PhD's carrying weapons right now and you don't even know it. Most intelligent people don't go into bars and drink with guns in their pockets. There are the occasional fools. But you and the rest of the people who think we are all idiots and cowboys, could not be further from wrong -- or "ass-uming".
Until you can find a way to outlaw criminals in bars with guns, I suggest you stop putting down those who think it's their right -- and it is -- to carry.
So sorry you feel the need to carry a gun. How will anyone be able to tell the good guys from the bad? Are you going to pull you gun on someone you think is committing a crime? I would rather not be around to watch you getting shot and maybe killed. Do you really think that having trained armed guards who watch the people around Ms. Conte even equate with "those who think it's their right?"
I am not an "elitist" but rather that I am a person who doesn't want to put my safety and the safety of my family in the hands of someone who thinks they can assess a situation and pull their guns to show that they are in control.
No thanks! Looks like my family will only be patronizing those places where gun-toting is not allowed.
For the women on this thread, consider this:
Concealed handguns also appear to help women more than men. Murder rates decline when either sex carries more guns, but the effect is especially pronounced when women are considered separately. An additional woman carrying a concealed handgun reduces the murder rate for women by about three to four times more than an additional armed man reduces the murder rate for men. Victims of violent crime are generally physically weaker than the criminals who prey on them. Allowing a woman to defend herself with a concealed handgun makes a larger difference in her ability to defend herself than the change created by providing a man with a handgun. Guns are the great equalizer between the weak and the vicious.
--Professor John R Lott, Jr
University of Chicago
Well, Pam, while doing my job 2 years ago, I knocked on a door. The guy who opened the door was wildly pointing a gun at my face - 3 feet from me. Hmmmmm! Turns out he didn't have permit to carry. Quite frankly if I'd had a gun, I would have shot his nasty self. He scared the daylights out of me. I lost almost a month of work. After that I was afraid of my job, doing my job after 5 p.m. and even talking about doing my job. So, yes, me being able to have a carry permit equates to Ms. Conte, cause she's no better than I am. I deserve the right to take gun lessons, have a carry permit and feel safer. It's my constitutional right.
Well Adam, where's your proof of how dangerous parks are?
Has pam harrison even read the law? She says "I will not allow my safety and the safety of may family to be dependent upon some fool who has had a few drinks...". The law specifically states you are not allowed to carry in such places if you are consuming alcohol. And if someone is going to break that aspect of the law, then why would we assume they are not going to break others, such as carrying one into a place that is not allowed in the first place?
I for one would rather have my safety dependent on a law-abiding stranger with a gun who did it right and has a license to carry, then have my safety depend on the stranger with the gun who didn't.
Atleast know the facts before you present your reasons for allowing or disallowing. While we should respect each other's opinions when they are based on facts, there is no excuse for ignorance.
you lost a month of work because you had a gun pointed at your face when you knocked on a door? sounds like you took advantage of the situation, sid.
I'm with you Pam. Keep the gunslingers on the shooting ranges or out in the fields hunting big game like ducks and rabbits.
me too. we don't need gunslinging nervous people walking around. sheesh.
Blanket - GTH! I did not take advantage of any situation. I am fricking self-employed and if I don't get up and suit up, I don't make a dime. So my employer, is me. I happened to be contracted to the Federal Gov't at the time and it just meant that the guy I reported to didn't get to rate my performance at the top of the charts - as he usually did. Your a$$-umption makes you look like an a$$ and I bet you are! I have never in my entire working life "taken advantage" of my employer. And I'd take lie detector on that. I bet you know all the loop holes cause you are so accusatory!
And thank you, Professor John R Lott, Jr, University of Chicago. When I worked in D.C. in the 70's, they gave us self-defense training classes at our job because we had to leave work after dark sometimes. Women should all be trained with self-defense tactics because we can be perceived as being more vulnerable, and we usually are. Blanket, again I say -- gth!
And Pam, let me ask you this: IF, and I use IF very largely, you did have a gun and a permit to carry, would YOU drink in a bar if you were there with a gun? NOT! So please. Give credit to logical, intelligent, fair-minded, law abiding citizens. If I had a carry permit, and I had a gun and I went into a bar, I would not drink. And neither will 99% of the registered gun owners who have a permit to carry. It's only the crooks and cocky people who think they can get away with breaking the law who do that.
sidneyames,THE FACTS ARE ON YOUR SIDE. Gun toting does not result in gunslinging--quite the opposite. The data bears only this out: "AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY." For example, while Pam et al. would expect simple traffic disputes to turn murderous, the reverse is true. Read this:
What about minor disputes such as traffic accidents? Are legal owners of concealed handguns more likely to use them in such situations? In 31 states, some of which have had concealed weapons laws for decades, there is only one recorded incident (earlier this year in Texas) in which a concealed handgun was used in a shooting following an accident. Even in that one case, a grand jury found that the shooting was in self-defense: The shooter was being beaten by the other driver.
--Professor John R Lott, Jr
University of Chicago
see, we don't need angry wacko folks like sid carrying a gun around.
What would everyone rather do?
1. Go out to dinner having no idea if the thug at the next table is going to pull a gun?
2. Go out to dinner with 10 Handgun Carry Permit Holders in the restaurant that:
• have gone through the training necessary to get a permit
• have had background checks run on them by the TBI and FBI
• know the laws much better than you concerning when and how to us their gun
• practice on a regular basis?
As a Permit Holder, I've done and do all this. I do not drink because I know as a mature adult that guns and booze don't mix. I know the law because if I kill someone doing anything other than defending myself or someone else I'm going to jail. I don't want to go to jail but I sure as hell don't want to kill anyone if it's not necessary to save myself or someone else.
I think a thug would be much less likely to do something if he or she knows there's law-abiding citizens around to take them out.
As for the Davidson County city council, if you pass laws prohibiting HCP holders from going into city parks, I and many others will simply not go to your parks at all. This will translate into us not going to your restaurants, businesses, or other attractions within your county.
If your restaurants loose customers, you loose tax revenue and businesses close.
If your parks don't have the numbers, you'll loose state and federal tax dollars for upkeep and repairs. Parks will be gun-free zones but only the thugs will have guns. They don't care about the law.
Think about it folks. I, nor other HCP Holders are not the bad guys. We just simply want to protect our families and selves from the thugs of the world wherever me are.
Have a good day.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
sid, your posts would be humorous if you weren't so danged scary. go get some therapy and attend some anger management courses. you need it.
Cookie, maybe you can answer, since NAdam is afraid to answer:
Show me facts and statistics on how dangerous parks are? How many murders, armed robberies and armed assaults in Metro Parks last year or last decade?
"I knocked on a door. The guy who opened the door was wildly pointing a gun at my face - 3 feet from me. Hmmmmm! Turns out he didn't have permit to carry. Quite frankly if I'd had a gun, I would have shot his nasty self. "
Was the guy who opened the door, the property owner? If so then since when do you have to have a permit to carry in order to have a gun inside your own house? Had you shot him you probably would have been sued by the guy or his estate if he died. And, if he was wildly pointing a gun at your face - 3 feet from you, do you really think you would have been able to get to your gun before he shot you?
Castle law allows the owner to have a gun.
"I knocked on a door. The guy who opened the door was wildly pointing a gun at my face - 3 feet from me. Hmmmmm! Turns out he didn't have permit to carry. Quite frankly if I'd had a gun, I would have shot his nasty self. "
See, that is exactly why sid and other folks shouldn't be carrying guns. The guy has a right to have a gun in his house. If Sid showed up and shot him she would have been in the wrong. She's be in jail and the poor dude who was protecting his property would most likely be dead.
Kosh III, as I'm sure your hoping for, I do not have the statistics. I don't need them. I've lived in the Nashville area all my life. The reputation of the Davidson County area in general makes me decide to stay away. There's no way I would walk the green way from Shelby Park over to the Opry Mills area without being armed. You can't go to Centennial Park without being approached by numerous homeless that get angry when they're waved off. I don't need statistics when I have instinct.
Blanketnazi2, if you're suggesting I get therapy perhaps you should seek some yourself to help you get your head out of the sand. I will thank you for the laugh though. It's naive people like you that will be hiding behind people like me when the trouble starts. The difference between me and you is I don't have a problem saving either of us if necessary.
Thanks, guys.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
I go to Centennial Park all the time and have for years and I've never been armed or felt the need to be armed. I was saying that sid need therapy for her anger issues, but if you're that paranoid, you might want to seek some help yourself.
You have obviously NEVER been on the Greenway from Shelby Park to Two Rivers and probably none of the others either. Shelby Bottoms is a very busy park, I have been there many many times since it opened and the biggest problem is dog poop in the pathway. But maybe that terrifies you?
"Cookie47 on 6/5/09 at 11:07
Kosh III, as I'm sure your hoping for, I do not have the statistics."
Because they don't exist because there is NOT a problem.
I have gone to Centennial Park three times in the past year to just eat a quiet lunch in my truck. I have been approached all three times by people asking for a handout. I waved all three off. The last time one of these individuals slapped my window when I did so. Luckily he walked away and I drove away but if it had gone wrong from there it would have been nice to have something to protect myself and my son.
As for therapy, what credentials do you have to as a doctor to say this to anyone?
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
"See, that is exactly why sid and other folks shouldn't be carrying guns. The guy has a right to have a gun in his house. If Sid showed up and shot him she would have been in the wrong. She's be in jail and the poor dude who was protecting his property would most likely be dead."
Is a psychological profile required to get a HCP? If not, a person could meet all the other requirements and be able to get one, but I think we all know people who are too quick tempered to carry a gun. Even if they do meet all the requirements.
Kosh III, wake up before you become a story on the nightly news.
Also, if pop scared me, I would never have waded into this comment section.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
So, someone slaps your car window as you drive off in terror and you wish you could've murdered them for the heinous crime?
No, as I would do if I were armed, my first option is to ALWAYS remove myself from the situation if possible. If I don't have that option, I want the option and ability to protect myself.
In that particular incident, my young son was with me so I drove away.
You don't understand anything about carrying a gun. It's not to murder anyone. It's to protect my family and myself. If you wish to be the victim, so be it. That's not my wish and I'll do whatever is necessary to keep that from happening.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
I'm not the least bit a victim. I go to Greenways all the time and have never seen a situation requiring a gun to defend myself. I can take care of myself.
As I said before: show me PROOF of the danger and maybe now that you can go ther with guns at the ready, try Shelby Bottoms Greenway, it is a lovely peaceful place.
I would like to know what gives you and others on this comment page the impression HCP Holders are bad people. I've never been arrested. I don't drink at all. I'm a Christian and treat people as they treat me, most of the time better because I don't let them get under my skin.
Yes, I carry a gun. How does that make me and other HCP Holders bad people in your eyes?
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
"The reputation of the Davidson County area in general makes me decide to stay away."
And you also said, "I have gone to Centennial Park three times in the past year to just eat a quiet lunch in my truck." So do you stay away from the criminal anarchy that is Davidson County or not?
so, a homeless guy knocking on your car window is reason enough to pull a gun? are you kidding me? okay, you must not get out much.
yeah, i guess nashville is a great big scary city, huh?
what worries me is that it's the angry, paranoid people who are so itching to carry guns. that's why i would rather leave that responsibility where it belongs - with the police. having a bunch of angry, paranoid people running around with guns isn't going to make things better.
the last thing i need is to be hit by a stray bullet in Centennial Park because a homeless person tapped on Cookie's window.
BlanketNazi2, the man did not knock on my window. It was a forceful, open-hand slap on the window because he was pissed. He was pissed because I wouldn't give him money he didn't work for. I've gotten the impression you and Kosh are a couple of bleeding-heart liberals so you should go out and give them them your money. I'll keep mine for someone I see that really needs it. This guy could get a job like I've done.
Scraigtn, yes, I do venture into the badlands of downtown Nashville from time to time. As for the "yeah, i guess nashville is a great big scary city, huh?" Blanketnazi2 wrote, it's not scary when you can protect yourself if necessary.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
"It's naive people like you that will be hiding behind people like me when the trouble starts. The difference between me and you is I don't have a problem saving either of us if necessary." Are you talking about killing that thug, if necessary, cookie? You said you are a Christian, so wouldn't that violate the 6th commandment? Thou shalt not kill.
Cookie, just so you know, i do not give money to the homeless. i also understand that they are not that scary. many of them are mentally ill and either have no family or their families will not care for them. i don't think they're wild packs of murderous people. so, that being said, i'm way more scared of your stray bullet than i am of them.
"badlands of downtown Nashville." lol - wow, you really don't get out much.
Look Guys:
As for the parks and guns, I'll agree there's some parks where guns should not be allowed. And, in answer to scraigtn, yes, to protect my family and myself, I would kill someone in self defense. The FIRST option is to not be in a situation you have to do that. However, if I find myself in a bad situation, I want the ability to hopefully defuse the situation but use force if necessary. I don't want to kill anyone as some of you have unfairly implied. I JUST WANT TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF IF NECESSARY.
Also, the homeless guy did not TAP on my window. He forcefully slapped the hell out of it because he was pissed. It scared the hell out of my son so I left.
The badlands comment was tongue in cheek. I've lived in Nashville all my life and think it's a great city. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but, by the same token, there are parts of it I will not go into without being armed-PERIOD.
I wish you all the best.
Handgun Carry Permit Holder
Cookie, the point I was making was that HAD you had a gun that day in Centennial Park things may have turned out very badly. That guy might be dead, you may have shot an innocent bystander, etc. Instead, you left, he left and nothing bad happened. See what I mean?
Wow, a lot of interesting posts here (well, some are interesting - others are just dumb). The thing is, y'all are not going to change each others' minds. So, lets let the anti folks believe that the police will protect them from harm and that those of us that carry are whatever they think we are. Personally I don't care about their opinions one way or the other - they are unimportant to me. I have carried a gun for over 35 years as a civilian and have only had to display it once to calm an escalating situation. However, had I not been able to do that there is a possibility that the situation could have deteriorated to a dangerous physical altercation, resulting in harm to myself, my wife, and/or the would-be assailant. With my pistol in hand the odds were more in favor of the assailant being the only injured party, as it should be. The end result was that all three of us got to walk away. Therefore, those that prefer not to carry certainly have that right, but as for me and mine, we'll be carrying for our own protection and for yours, and you'll never know it unless the manure hits the fan.
If I had had a gun in that incident, I would not have used it because I had the option of retreat as I did. I also don't shoot unless I know what I'm shooting at or what's behind it. I know this because of my training. The first option is always retreat.
Now, back to my original question reworded slightly.
Would you rather:
1. Go out to dinner having no idea if the thug at the next table has an illegal gun because
he doesn't care about the law?
2. Go out to dinner with a Handgun Carry Permit Holder in the restaurant that:
• has gone through the training necessary to get a permit
• has had background checks run on them by the TBI and FBI
• knows the laws about when and how to use his/her gun
• practices on a regular basis?
Keep in mind this person would ONLY use their gun in self-defense.
3. Be blissfully unaware of the world around you.
1, 2, or 3?

Mr Postgate gave the world Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss, the Clangers and Noggin the Nog (and, of course, Nogbad the Bad). Few childhoods in the 1960s and 1970s were untouched by these creations. Mr Postgate was a utopian, and his characters inhabited worlds of serenity and gentility, despite the nefarious activities of Nogbad. His own profoundly English sensibility infused his creations, and depicted a realm in which children could feel inspired as well as comfortable. His imagination was awesome; with it, he did more than most people to advance the general pursuit of happiness. His calm, civilising voice – for he narrated his own programmes – will live in many of our memories for ever.

During the non-electronic market era more than 10,000 people traded on the floors(US Markets). Later then electronic trading emerged and that made the floor traders to transform and adopt slowly to the Electronic Markets (Computer Based Trading).
Hand signals are first adopted by Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the early 1970's. Hand signals are better and faster than a verbal communication in a noisy trading floor environment. It also provides anonymity to big traders and also traders believed that this methodology is less prone to manipulation. Even though it looks chaotic to people, it's actually very crystal clear what was going on to the people down on the floor.
Here is a simple video tutorial from CNN about how to use Hand Signals for Buy and Sell Transaction
Floored – Documentary on Floor Traders
This Floored Documentary talks lot about the open outcry and how professional traders behave in the floors and how they taken advantage of the public outcry. As the floor trading era is over, many traders find difficult to adapt to computer based trading and even the floor traders feared of Computer based algorithms eating their edge.
It is a must watch video for any professional trader not only to understand the hand signals but also to understand how the public outcry functions.

AFAIK, it's meant to work in any environment where the application is capable of telling what a *:target is.

Only, in some environments (like a closed HyTime system), the app will know even if we're not following a link. XLink with detached link databases is another example.

Personal Finance Expert and TV Host Suze Orman, and Jack Cumming, Chairman of the Board and Executive Officer at Hologic, Inc., Deliver Keynote Addresses at Bentley University May 15, 2010, Commencement Ceremonies
Suze Orman, internationally acclaimed personal finance expert, addressed nearly 1,100 Bentley Undergraduates at the 91st commencement ceremony on May 15, 2010. Orman urged graduates to use personal power to survive and stand out in the face of challenging economic times.
"You will get a job, not just because maybe you were a great student, and maybe you graduated from one of the best universities around, which you have, but because you will be able to go into that office and, if you feel powerful with who you are, whoever is interviewing you will feel that power and that is what they will hire," Orman said. "They're not going to hire your grades; they're not going to hire what you look like; they are going to hire how they feel in your presence."
She encouraged graduates to look beyond salary. "If you go after the money first, you are dooming yourself because you are acting like every other graduate…All you should care about is that you get a job that you want to have."
Orman continued: "Money alone will never make you happy…I can tell you, however, that lack of money sure will make you miserable. So it is very important that as you go out into this world and you start getting a paycheck, that you really think twice about everything you do with every penny that you have."
Noting the value of her own staff members, she offered on-the-job advice. "Your goal is going to be this: You are going to make those you are dependent on for a paycheck, dependent upon you ...come to work with vitality, power, and wanting to do it all. You will get their attention and you will be in the driver's seat."
She encouraged graduates to follow their dreams even when others don't believe. "Keep good company…If somebody tells you that you can't, that is somebody you don't want to be friends with. If somebody encourages you to do things with your money or with your life that you don't feel is right for you, I ask you to turn your back on that person."
She cited her own professional journey, beginning as a waitress with a degree in Social Work. "If I can become who I have become in this world, there's not one of you who has an excuse to be what you want to be."
Orman underscored the importance of staying empowered during a career search. "The economy may be down…employment isn't that great, but you can make it if you walk in and stay powerful…If you live a life of financial integrity you will be able to be the masters of your financial destiny, rather than financial puppets having to do something simply so you can pay the bills."
She concluded: "Graduating class of 2010 of Bentley University, you go out there and you make the magic and you show them what can be. You show them for your own selves, for your life, and most importantly for what this great university gave you."
Orman received an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science degree at the ceremony.
At the 35th annual commencement ceremony, Jack Cumming, chairman of the board and executive officer at Hologic, Inc., addressed more than 600 graduate students during the McCallum Graduate School of Business ceremony, "Bentley has prepared you to fly, so you can soar to great heights; there are no limits, as long as you believe in yourself."
Cumming began by recalling a detour he took during his own career, when he ventured out as an entrepreneur in healthcare. "When you have your own company, the highs are so high they're wonderful, but the lows are lower than you could ever imagine…with all the twists, turns and potholes. What I did find out is that there is no substitute for hard work…the harder you work, the luckier you get."
He emphasized the need to stay positive during challenging times. "You have to keep telling yourself to set your goals high – go for what seems unreachable. Do not give in to the naysayers…follow those dreams," he continued. "If you fall a bit short, you're still going to be very satisfied where you come out."
Having recently completed the Boston marathon, Cumming compared faith and the ability to believe in yourself to running a marathon -- emphasizing training, focus, energy, a bit of insanity, and the ability to block out pain and negative thoughts.
"You have to finish what you start…especially in the face of adversity. Anybody can give up… but to hold it together when everyone else understands if you fell apart, that is what true strength is."
"I have no proven formula for winning the race," he continued. "Everyone runs at his or her own pace. But I do know where the power comes from to see the race to the end. The power comes from within, and each and every one of you has control over the power."
He concluded, "Find your passion and follow it. If you are true to it, you will find great satisfaction and great success. And more importantly, you will make a difference."
Cumming received an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science degree at the ceremony.
At the undergraduate ceremony, 1,029 Bachelor of Science degrees, 21 Bachelor of Arts degrees, and three Associate in Science degrees were awarded to 1,053 students.
At the McCallum Graduate School of Business ceremony, 344 Master of Science degrees, 239 Master of Business Administration degrees, and 69 certificates were granted to 652 graduate students.
The Gregory H. Adamian Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Jennifer Cook, assistant professor of English and to Jack Dempsey, assistant professor of English. Juliet Gainsborough, assistant professor of Global Studies, received the Bentley University Award for Excellence in Scholarship. The Joseph M. Cronin Award for Excellence in Academic Advising was given to Michael Quinn, associate professor of Economics.
Student honorees included Danielle A. Bacon '10 and Ryan A. Hosie '10, winners of the Professor Robert J. Weafer Award for Undergraduate Academic Excellence. The Professor William E. Dandes Award for Graduate Academic Excellence went to Kristyn L. Desjardins '10 MBA, Michael D. Lorion '10 MSF, Lei Ma '10 MSA, Renita R. Patel '10 MBA, and Guiyuan Zeng '10 MSA. John Parillo was recognized as the Outstanding Evening Student.

AptarGroup Inc. ATR, -0.52% third-quarter profit fell 15% as the dispenser maker unveiled a plan to streamline its operations in Europe.
The company plans to consolidate production in 12 facilities in Europe. Two facilities will close, affecting around 170 employees, the company said.
AptarGroup expects around $18 million in costs related to the restructuring effort, and sees annual savings of around $12 million beginning in late 2013.
"These actions are part of our long-term strategy intended to prepare us for future growth," said Chief Executive Stephen Hagge. "We identified ways to streamline certain product technologies, reduce complexity for our people and our customers, and optimize our production footprint."
AptarGroup--which makes pump dispensers for perfumes, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and dispensing systems for food and drinks--has now reported four straight quarters of diminished earnings as it has been burdened by acquisition costs and weaker sales volume.
Mr. Hagge said that the latest quarter was affected by weakness in the beauty, food, and consumer health care markets, particularly in Europe.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects a per-share profit of 53 cents to 58 cents, short of estimates of 64 cents from analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
The company reported a profit of $42.1 million, or 62 cents a share, down from $49.3 million, or 72 cents a share, a year earlier. The latest period included a two-cent charge related to an acquisition, while the year-earlier period included a two-cent benefit from a lower tax rate. AptarGroup in July had projected a per-share profit of 61 cents to 66 cents.
Net sales edged down 1.9% to $589.6 million, beating analysts' predictions of $584 million.
Gross margin narrowed to 30.9% from 32.3%.
Shares closed Thursday at $53.13 and were mostly inactive after hours. The stock is up 1.8% so far this year.

After Black Book (2006) movie lovers had to wait a while for the next Paul Verhoeven movie. Two years ago he decided to take part in the "Ziggo Entertainment Experience", a new concept and a new way of making movies, which he hadn't done before. The idea behind this "Experience" was that only the first five pages of the script would be written by a professional script writer, in this case Kim van Kooten. Those pages would be made available, after which it was up to the "crowd" (or "users") to write the rest of the script, come up with new ideas, make the music, promote the concept or simply vote on the ideas of others. Ziggo (a Dutch cable company) created an online platform which would make this possible and make it available to anyone. The movie was made in 8 episodes, which means time was needed between each episode to decide what the script would be. Has Paul Verhoeven, by using this new concept, succeeded in making a movie worth watching?
Because the movie is relatively short, the decision was made to add a documentary about the making of the movie which is shown before the movie starts. It succeeds in giving an idea of the difficulties Verhoeven ran into while making it and how things on the set were done. It's very interesting subject matter, but if you are not a fan of spoilers, it does spoil a couple of moments of the movie, which takes away some surprises.
The movie itself tells the story of Remco (Peter Blok), who is running a successfull company with two business partners. He's married with Ineke (Ricky Koole) and has two children. It seems that everything is perfect, but he is a womaniser. During the celebration of his 50th birtday his former mistress arrives unexpectedly. When it becomes clear she is pregnant the troubles start for Remco. Unfortunately it is only the beginning.
The various characters are quickly introduced and the story manages to maintain that speed. There isn't a moment where you get the feeling you are watching episodes which were pasted together. It feels like a proper movie in which details you see in the beginning are picked up later, making it a cohesive movie. As this is a Dutch movie it isn't surprising it has some sex and nudity in it and the way the relationships are shown is not something everyone will be able to appreciate. But they are a big part of making this movie work as you have no idea who you'll be able to trust. You will have no idea where the story will go next.
Tricked isn't a movie which only depicts drama. The situation Remco is in, is a stressful one, but the movie also has humour in it. Robert de Hoog, who plays the son, Tobias, has the funniest moments. The humour gives the movie a certain lightness and makes it so enjoyable to watch. The cast is convincing and are able make the complexity of what is going on believable. With Tricked, Paul Verhoeven has proved, by doing something new and unknown, that it is possible to create an entertaining movie with the use of user generated content.

It's not enough to merely reinvent your look each season. These days, you also have to reinvent the language used to describe the clothes you wear.
Fashion bloggers and ad copy writers have taken to this task with enthusiasm, coining "abbreves" and portmanteaus (the combining of two words to create a new one) for every trend they can get their ombre-manicured hands on.
And this is a problem. To put it in perspective: These words ugly up the English language the way Ed Hardy tattoo-art tees muck up fashion.
Some words stack hyperbole upon hyperbole; others cutesy up language to the point that a blog post written by a grown woman can read like a text from an illiterate tween.
Since many of these new fashion terms appear online, in tweets or in print ads, the words look better than they sound. Try saying "covetable" out loud without smirking.
"Words have always gone in and out of fashion," says Allison Leopold, assistant professor at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. "Some slang is fleeting : '23 skidoo,' 'the bee's knees.' Other terms become part of the lexicon, like 'cool' or 'funky.' "
In recent times, some words ("skinnies," "sunnies") have already gone mainstream; others are unlikely to ever leave the corner of the Internet relegated to discussing the re-emergence of stacked heels and moto jackets.
Here's our list of the worst offenders in the current fashion pack.
Noun: Platform shoes that are also flats, for those who crave a look that hints at the aesthetic of orthopedic shoes minus the matching cane.
Example: Before you judge a fashionista, walk a mile in her flatforms.
Adjective: Because "fierce" as a fashion descriptor was starting to seem too tame. Derives from ferocious, though you might not know this from the dorky spelling.
Example: Girl, those flatforms are a ferosh new look for you.
Noun: Sunglasses, because the word "sunglasses" really needed to be cuter, and "shades" sound like something Tom Cruise sported circa 1983.
Example: What's more ferosh — these Prada flatforms or these Ralph Lauren sunnies?
Noun: Short for collaboration, particularly when a high-end designer deigns to work with a low-end retailer. The word is a forewarning of long lines outside H&M and, potentially, trampling deaths.
Example: These sunnies are care of the Phillip Lim collab at Target, which was so ferosh it sold out in, like, literally three minutes.
Noun: The front row of a fashion show. Add one letter and it becomes "frown," which is what this word should make you do. Oh, come on, seriously, how hard is it to just say "front row"?
Example: I almost didn't recognize Kim Kardashian in those ferosh flatforms and sunnies in the frow at the Givenchy show.
Adjective: Some might say "genius" is a word that should be reserved for the Gateses and Galileos of history. In fashion, the bar is considerably lower. You've come up with a new way to tie a scarf? Genius!
Example: From the frow, those ferosh flatforms were a genius look in the collab collection.
Noun: Christian Louboutin heels can be characterized by their red soles. Folks who say "Loubs" can be characterized by their braggy Instagrams.
Example: Wearing Loubs, sitting in the frow in my sunnies — just an average day for a fashion blogger. #ferosh #genius
Noun: No, not another word for models — it's short for skinny jeans.
Example: Skinnies & Loubs, or should I wear the genius flatforms from the Man Repeller collab? Wanna impress people with my ferosh style when I'm sitting there in the frow!
Adjective: It might not be so dazzling in real life, but add a Valencia filter on Instagram and throw it on your "swoon-worthy looks" board, and you have found something Pinteresting.
Example: Your ferosh aubergine flatforms with emerald skinnies and wood sunnies from the genius Isabel Marant collab are soooo Pinteresting.
Adjective: A concise and cohesive closet or collection. Proper usage applies to high fashion (think Met exhibits) or, duh, Picassos. Your closetful of Ann Taylor ain't "curated."
Example: Every curated closet includes skinnies, sunnies, flatforms and Loubs — it's what makes your wardrobe Pinteresting and helps you earn your place in the frow.
Adjective: If as many things in life were as "swoon-worthy" as fashion blogs claim, it would be considered a medical epidemic.
Example: I love this ferosh look, worthy of being curated from the frow: swoon-worthy skinnies, Pinteresting flatforms and sunnies from the DVF collab. I am a genius.

Repeal the Second Amendment!
Post: #1
Repeal the Second Amendment!
Read the full article on the blog.
"Paradox" is often a word that appears in this column; it's a fancy way of saying truth embodies its own opposite—in other words, there are exceptions to our most cherished beliefs, our proudest achievements, to every law, rule and principle, to mathematical models and even divine intervention, as there is one historically reported exception to the irreversible finality of death.
But in the national debate about guns and death, the National Rifle Association (NRA) makes no exceptions. They claim truth without paradox. Their leadership believes and expresses confidence the Second Amendment doesn't provide for any exceptions. Since no law can stop the use of guns for murder, there should be no laws. Since, in their judgment, old laws were ineffective, there is no need for new laws. Since laws will have loopholes and workarounds, what's the point? Their logic of default hides a fatal flaw found in the paradox of their absolutes.
That paradox is found not in their faith in the gun but in the law. They think the Second Amendment is set in stone. It's not. As with all bad law, it can be repealed. In fact, I will raise the ante and hereby call for its repeal. It wouldn't be the first amendment to be repealed.
Whether successful or not, it opens another political front and will force the NRA to divide its energy and resources. The call for repeal mimics the successful strategy of going after policy issues by swinging for the home run—by going after the law which is the context for the policy. The Second Amendment threatens my safety. I have been a victim of robbery at gun point. The right to bear arms has resulted in 1500+ gun connected deaths since the Newtown incident. This "cherished" ideal is tarnished. I call for the Second Amendment's repeal.
So the idea of repeal takes a page from the politics of our times and uses a power wedge to loosen up the rabid grip the NRA has on the national consciousness, where it gets to define the terms of the debate, the President's common sense views not withstanding. Let's bypass their command post and check points and flank the organization and boldly go after the ultimate prize: let's target repeal of the Second Amendment. No one tinkers around the edges anymore: officeholders are willing to topple America's integrity and credit. But they change their tune when it comes to guns. Guns are a protected, untouchable class, attributed to the Second Amendment. To the NRA and some in Congress, the Second Amendment is more important than America's economic health and growing jobs.
So let's trade guns for debt. Before final repeal is passed, match any cuts in safety net programs with major restrictions on guns and ammunition. If people who use earned benefits are dependent, then people who cling to guns are pathetic little bullies who can't handle their lives and replace their reality by fantasies of artificial courage to become imaginary heroes while others bleed and die.
Repeal Obamacare? Repeal the Second Amendment that has never lived up to its promise. Would repeal make gun ownership illegal? No, but gun ownership would have no more constitutional standing than milk, which is certainly better for you than a gun. The magic in a gun is its destruction. Its enchantment is its ultimate power to kill. A gun isn't penicillin or a panacea; honestly, its hypothesized life-saving power extracts a high real cost. That why the NRA suppresses research and never cites numbers that examine the consequences of its positions. The research numbers available fully support repeal of the Second Amendment, with the right of gun ownership being regulated by ordinary state and federal statutes. So forward this to your local media outlets and mainstream columnists. They can reach me, unarmed, on Twitter. I'm prepared for their onslaught and old nonsense. I live in the eighteenth ranked state for gun deaths.
Repeal the Second Amendment. The Constitution is being used to guarantee something it never intended. The Second Amendment opened a back door to a right to kill.

Authors take note: Need some free publicity? Just wrangle some tarmac time with the president. After Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's finger-waving photo-op with President Obama became the 1,000-word story Thursday, people flocked to buy her book on Amazon.
During a post-State of the Union tour, Obama met Brewer when he arrived in Phoenix Wednesday. The two began a short, but tense conversation about Brewer's depiction of an earlier meeting with the president in her book "Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure the Border,''"
A photograph that captured Brewer, finger outstretched, and the president made the tête-à-tête a national conversation — and Brewer's book a hot selling item. Within 48 hours, her book jumped from No. 285,568 to No. 7 in the Amazon book rankings.
The book was published last November by Broadside Books, a section of HarperCollins that focuses on conservative nonfiction, Publisher's Weekly reported.
On Thursday, Brewer said in an interview with KFYI radio that Obama "didn't think I was very cordial. I said we'd have to agree to disagree. He was a little thin-skinned and tense, to say the least."
In an interview with Barbara Walters, Obama dismissed the situation as "not a big deal."
"I think it's always good publicity for a Republican if they're in an argument with me," the president said.
That publicity helped the sales jump, as well as the reviews. The personal reviews on Amazon were crowded with one-star and five-star ratings, most added within the last day.

text: I ran into an interesting problem after I upgraded from LVM1 to LVM2 that I would like to share. My setup when running LVM1 with linux kernel 2.4.20 consisted of 6 logical volumes (lv_home, lv_opt, lv_use, lv_var, lv_var_snap, lv_var_copy) all in the same volume group called lvm00. lv_var_snap was a test LV that I setup to snapshot lv_var, and lv_var_copy was a seperate LV that I used to copy lv_var with, all of which were the same size. After I migrated to LVM2 I found that with device mapper it was seeing the original LV lv_var as lv_var-real, which is only the begining of my troubles. After fixing fstab to point to the new naming of my lv_var, I decided since I was not using lv_var_snap and lv_var_copy that I should removed them. After removing lv_var_snap I noticed that the device file for lv_var-real was gone, both in /dev/mapper and in /dev/lvm00. Interestingly enough /var was still mounted and operational. I ran vgscan and vgchange -a y, and that found all of my LV's but now my lv_var-real was renamed back to its original lv_var. Luck for me I noticed this and was able to update fstab before I rebooted. My question is, why does LVM2 feel the need to change the names of the logical volumes that I have created? I feel perfectly confident in my naming abilities :).. Also, why after deleting a snapshot of an LV, was the original LV device file (although with its new name) removed with it? And, after I ran vgscan and vgchange -a y, why did LVM2 feel the need to change the name of my LV back to its original name?

Following the media's full-on assault of Donald Trump — the leaked 2005 tape and handful of sexual assault accusations coming out of the woodwork — at least one poll is showing him rising like a phoenix from the ashes.
Via Rasmussen Reports:
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch national telephone and online survey shows Trump with 43% support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton's 41%. Yesterday, Clinton still held a four-point 43% to 39% lead over Trump, but that was down from five points on Tuesday and her biggest lead ever of seven points on Monday.
Eighty-four percent (84%) now say they are certain how they will vote in this year's presidential election, and among these voters, Trump posts a 49% to 46% lead over Clinton. Among voters who say they still could change their minds between now and Election Day, it's Clinton 40%, Trump 37%, Johnson 19% and Stein four percent (4%).
The survey of 1,500 Likely Voters was conducted on October 10-12, 2016 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
When all the major polls are averaged together, Trump is still lagging behind Hillary, but has only lost 1.2 points since his leaked comments. Meanwhile, Hillary's numbers have essentially remained unchanged. Some may have been turned off to Trump by his comments — but it hasn't made them any more likely to vote for Hillary.
In Trump's favor is the continuing Wikileaks dump, which continues to expose inconvenient truths about Hillary. The media refuses to report on them, but thanks to social media, the word is nonetheless getting out.
And with an election cycle that's been this outside the norm thus far, it's anyone's guess on how accurate the polls will turn out to be this time around.

Not really picky with the levels.
PM me with offers ^^ K?

These forums go both ways, right?
Today, instead of asking for a porygon, I'm offering one.
Bred in Emerald
Shining aspects: It has 31 IV in both sp.attack and speed!!!
But unfortunely, due to some heated arguments with the people I live with (i'm not even gonna call them parents), my DS was confiscated(jacked, actually.) So I haven't got the chance to upload it on my Diamond. It's stuck in Emerald for the time being.
Edit: This offer still stands, if any one's interested. Here are its IVs:
HP:29 Att: Don't remember Def:18 Sp.Att:31 Sp.Def:10 Speed:31
Also, it is no longer Lv.5, but Lv.28. It also has the Hoenn beauty normal and super ribbons and Hoenn cool normal ribbons. I will be giving it more ribbons in due course.

I'm still in DC and will have some photos for you tomorrow, but for now, I have the lovely Denise Robbins who is here to help me out!
Please welcome Denise who is sharing a little bit about her latest release, PHISH NET STALKINGS, and also offering up some writing tips that she's found useful!
So without further ado, here's Denise…
High-tech becomes high-risk in Denise Robbins' novels. The New Hampshire based author uses two decades of experience in computers to explore the killer possibilities in technology. Denise integrates her knowledge of computers and technology along with secrets, intrigue, suspense, and even a little romance into all of her techno-romantic thriller novels. Readers and reviewers agree Denise writes stories that will keep you at the edge of your seat and clamoring for more.
Her latest book is Phish NET Stalkings.
You can visit her website at http://www.deniserobbins.com.
All she wanted was to find love. Was that too much to ask? How difficult could it be to find one man, the perfect man for her?
After dating the losers of the century, Jane decides there has to be a better way. She turns to an online dating service. After all, they guarantee a 'happily ever after' or your money back.
Jane East, CEO of Not-So- Plain- Jane's organic cosmetics wants to fall in love with a man who makes her toes curl when he kisses her. Unfortunately, the one man who makes her toes curl also wears ladies' pink underwear and a badge.
The pink underwear she could probably deal with, but the badge is a different story.
Ever since seeing her mother and granny Pearl murdered by men with badges, Jane has a fear of cops and anyone who carries a badge. Especially, because the killers are still on the loose and searching for her.
Former FBI Cybercrime special agent turned small-town Chief of Police, Cooper Chance, gets caught with his pants down and his family jewels tucked in pink ladies' underwear with lacy frills when he meets the woman of his dreams. That's not his only issue. The woman has a fear of cops. If he can get past her guard, maybe he can save her life.
Denise's Tips on Writing:
1. Write! If you want to be a writer you must write.
2. Know your characters. Readers want to be able to see, touch, smell and practically be able to talk with your characters. They want them to jump off the page.
3. Learn about passive voice and don't use it. It's bad, very bad. It you want your words to show action then use and active voice.
4. Have others read your work. I highly recommend having men and women read your writing. The best is when a man says, "No guy would say that." Then get the guy to tell you what he would say.
5. He said – She said. If there are only two people in a conversation in your writing try to avoid he said – she said. The readers should be able to tell by the tone, the words, by knowing your characters.
6. Join a writer's group. If you want some love and support while you pursue your dream, join a writing group. They will offer all kinds of advice, sympathy, and boosts of creativity.
7. Don't be afraid. Rejection is going to happen. It's a fact of life, just like paying taxes. We all hate it, but it happens. When you receive the rejection, read it, have a good cry, yell and throw things if you must, but then say, "Oh, well. Next!"
8. Start your blog and your Internet presence now. Let folks know you exist and start figuring out your brand. What is going to make you unique from every other author out there? Then tell everyone about you and your writing. We are a great community and we tend to embrace new writers.
9. Read! If you don't like reading then how can you write? If you don't read then how do you know who your market is for your writing?
10. Have fun! Writing is an art and it comes from the heart. It's not a 'job', it's a love. And just like any love you have, you should enjoy it and have fun with it.
Thank you so much Denise! I appreciate you helping me out!

Ahhh-ahhhh-ahhhh-chooooo. Flu season officially begins in October and lasts through May, but you can get the flu any time of the year. Unfortunately, the flu virus mutates frequently, making any hope for a cure unlikely at this time. Because the virus is so adaptable, medical researchers try to stay one step ahead. Here are a few ways to protect yourself and prevent the flu.
Recognize the symptoms. If you experience headache or fever, fatigue, a cough or sore throat, stuffed up or runny nose, aching body, or nausea/vomiting/diarrhea (especially in children), you might have the flu. See your doctor right away for treatment. Stay home from school or work to prevent spreading the flu to others.
Follow your doctor's instructions. If you doctor prescribes you a medication for the flu, take it exactly as prescribed. Taking the medication properly will reduce your symptoms, speed up your recovery time, and protect you from other possible infections. You will also prevent your family members from catching it from you!
Keep your hands away from your face. The thin mucus membranes of your eyes, nose, and mouth are very susceptible to germs. Don't touch your face unless you have just disinfected your hands. Teach children to keep hands away from the face and to cough into a tissue or their elbows.
Wash up and disinfect often. Wash your hands with soap and hot water after you come in contact with anyone else. If you can't get to soap and water, use a waterless hand sanitizer. Germs also hide on commonly touched items like doorknobs, tables, phones, and gym equipment. If you've been working out, take a hot shower right after to protect your whole body.
- Get the flu shot. Get your flu shot early in the season so it will be active when the worst outbreaks of flu arrive in January and February; the shot takes up to two weeks to fully protect you. You can get an injection from your doctor, local pharmacy, and temporary flu shot stations in your area. Everyone over 6 months old should get the shot, especially the elderly, children, pregnant women, and those who spend time with children. If you don't like injections, there is a nasal spray form of the vaccine available to anyone not pregnant between ages 2 and 49.
Medical Center Arlington is here for you this flu season. Check out our Cold and Flu Center to learn more about symptoms and testing. You can also arrange to have a flu shot. Contact us today to get your family protected from the flu!

'Lamplighter to the Promised Land'
Published 2:27 pm, Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Artist AJ Fosik transforms simple plywood into highly detailed sculptures depicting fantastical creatures. Referring to them as "existential fetishes," he elicits them from the real and the imagined. Mounted on a wall, the beasts reveal rows of prominent white teeth, multiple mouths and snouts. While abstract, some evoke images of wolves, bears and bulls.
"They are abstractions and they are the combination of a hundred systems whose aim was to define the unknowable," says Fosik, who grew up outside of Detroit and lives in Portland, Ore. "At their core, however, they stand as a reminder that dogma is a corruption of the creative impulse. But I also view them as a celebration of the power and potential of human ingenuity and creativity."

With wood, spray paint and nails, he creates the beings utilizing construction techniques: First, he builds a complete wooden skeleton with 2-by-4 boards and framing nails. Then he covers it with plywood and gold screws, which emulate nerves, tendons and muscles. Finally, he adds another layer of wood to represent flesh and fashions a skin using luan chips.
"It's a lot like building a house," he says. "My initial approach to sculpture was from a background in construction, not fine woodworking, so the processes I use tend to reflect that."
For his solo exhibition, "Lamplighter to the Promised Land," at the Guerrero Gallery, Fosik created 13 sculptures and some smaller pieces. Ranging in size from "something no bigger than a dog's head to a 9-foot-tall, multi-headed Leviathan," he's given the otherworldly pieces intriguing titles like "Lusus Naturae," "Strange regions in search of beauty, awe or terror" and the show's namesake, "Lamplighter to the Promised Land."
"In particular, my aim was to create work that challenges and examines the idea of belief and, specifically, the idea of belief as virtue. The sculptures are fetishes in the sense that they are intended to create a moment that can challenge preconceived notions of faith and belief," Fosik says.
"The idea is to shake complacency and encourage the viewer to challenge through honest, humble scrutiny the power of these belief systems."
Following previous art ventures, Andres Guerrero opened his gallery in 2010. He and Fosik have known each other for five years and "Lamplighter to the Promised Land" marks the sculptor's second solo presentation in the space.
"His work is so exciting because they are more than paintings. They are three-dimensional, wall-hanging works that have a feel of power and persona," says Guerrero. "They are not just objects. They come to life with imagination. Dialogues are formed with his creations. They challenge the viewer to look at tradition, religion and, of course, acceptability."
While Fosik shows in the gallery's main room, in the project room, Daniel Albrigo presents his drawings, paintings and a sculptural work exploring the notion of the classic Happy Face.
Reception 7 p.m. Saturday. Through Dec. 8. 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Guerrero Gallery, 2700 19th St., S.F. (415) 400-5168. www.guerrerogallery.com.

Chicago's fashionistas assembled at the historic Macy's on State Street on February 19th to see fashion queen and stylist to the stars June Ambrose and costume designer Johnetta Boone for Macy's Black History Month Celebration focusing on the "Soul Era" of fashion.
Moderated by Chicago journalist Robin Robinson (wearing local designer Barbara Bates), Ambrose and Boone gave their insights and expert opinions on the 70's soul era and today's fashion. Boone said during the 70's, there was an explosion of designers going to Africa and bringing back the styles they found. Ambrose added that during that time everything was over the top and there were more African-American designers then than there are now.
Ambrose and Boone also discussed their respective starts in fashion. Ambrose was originally in the financial world as an investment banker and Boone got her big break as the costume designer for the 2004 film The Notebook. They both agreed that stars like Beyoncé, Solange and Ledisi and Janelle Monae are embodying the soul era.
When asked what their "I made it" moment was, Ambrose said she still feels like she's working towards it, she said when she started, she didn't think about being celebrated, I thought about making a difference. She said she wanted to be seen and heard, she never thought about the money or getting a publicist. She wasn't thinking about those things, she said" I was thinking about how do I make this amazing so it can lead to future jobs, how I do I use this to build my brand, how do I recognize the power of my skill set, how do I make a difference in a person's life."
Boone added that the reason that you don't see African American costume designers winning Oscars is because no one goes to see African American movies We need to support one another to be successful. Ambrose said she uses her digital platform to mentor to up and coming stylists and she's very grateful for that platform. The ladies ended with discussion stating anything is possible and asking attendees to think about what kind of legacy are they going to leave behind.
The event also included fashion from the 70's, make overs by Fashion Fair Cosmetics and a photo opportunity with Ambrose and Boone.

Choose from the Beverly Hills edition in an alternate Lakers colorup or the revolutionary York joints done in blue and white to match the Empire State's outdated plates.

LETTERS: BISD trustees should follow the money; debate winner debatable; we can stop domestic violence
Published 1:00 am, Sunday, October 21, 2012
I fail to see why Beaumont ISD president Woodrow Reece does not want to apply for the return of the taxpayer's money from the district's electrician, Calvin Walker. The money belongs to the public that pays the high school taxes that we are forced to pay every year.
It is my belief that if the school board members don't try to get the money returned, they should be removed from office. The taxpayers cannot lose this $2 million. The school board will have a very hard time getting another bond issue passed for any other work to be done.
Charles F. Alford, Beaumont
It's not being said enough: The U.S. Attorney's office is requiring the Beaumont ISD to admit it was the victim, because it would not help in the prosecution of Calvin Walker in the first place. That is why the U.S. attorney had to drop the 37 counts.
David Haskett, Beaumont
What a mess! It is like taking a "Morning After" pill!
By all of the newspaper accounts, Obama was the winner of the second debate Tuesday night. It is strange that they credit Obama with being the winner when we watched the whole thing here at home and we saw the action and heard the comments and flashbacks from both of the debaters.
How can Obama be the winner when for four years, he has been a loser? It seems to me that The Enterprise is reporting comments from other liberal news sources.
I hope the final debate is not rigged with a die-hard liberal moderator. To us, Romney won, hands down!

October marks the observance of National Domestic Violence Month. The Texas Access to Justice Foundation (TAJF) welcomes the opportunity to emphasize the importance of recognizing domestic violence as an issue that has far-reaching consequences for many Texans.
According to the Texas Council on Family Violence, each year, there are nearly 200,000 family violence incidents in Texas and more than 100 people are killed as a result of the abuse. More than 15,000 Texas children are placed in shelters to be safe from abuse in their homes.
The Texas Access to Justice Foundation is the largest Texas-based funding source for legal aid. TAJF grantees assist low-income Texans with basic and critical legal problems, such as getting free from domestic violence. Some actions routinely taken by legal aid programs on behalf of abused Texans are protective orders and petitions for divorce, child custody and support.
In 2011, TAJF provided aid for 11,000 cases involving domestic violence, which affected more than 31,000 Texans. Each time legal aid helps a mother escape an abusive spouse or protects a child from physical or emotional harm, families are able to heal and become productive members of our communities.
