The University of Alberta's Drawing department in the early to mid 2000s was where anyone in intermedia (i.e. not painting, not printmaking, not sculpture) would end up. Drawing encompasses an understanding of composition and draftsmanship, and over the last few decades, there has been an ongoing debate as to whether fundamental drawing classes should even be made a prerequisite for increasingly concept – and theory – based art school students. This is where I met Maria Madacky.
Maria grew up in Novi Sad, in the former Yugoslavia, in the region that is now Serbia. Maria, much like Jennifer Bowes, is one of the finest still life illustrators I have ever come across. She has translated her drawing skills into a distinctive mark making process that strives for the spiritual without being religious.
In her Adobe-style house in Coaldale, just outside of Lethbridge, Maria leafed through an old drawing portfolio. Her sense of light and line in her studies in realism already showed clear spiritual sympathies for energy over matter. Each drawing pushed the eye beyond the picture plane, focusing on shadows and the aura of her subject matter. Researching the spirituality of art through Shamanism and Buddhism, the harboured and occult energies outside of empirical science are central to Maria's installation and performance works.
I first saw Maria's work in a juried MFA show held in the basement of the old Edmonton Art Gallery. One of her works, Hushed (2008) welcomed visitors as they came down the central concrete staircase of the bunker-like building. At the bottom of the stairs, a gleaming white, looming hollow canvas chamber held a visual reverberation through a wall of tense illuminated white strings. I did not know if I was looking at a painting, a drawing, or an instrument. Maria's MFA exhibition was a build-up of these experiments in drawing three-dimensionally, and it stands as one of the more memorable MFA shows I've seen at the University of Alberta.
There was overall a peaceful quality about the show that was best encapsulated in Recollections (2008). I remember seeing the work in progress during a round of informal studio visits at U of A. I was visiting some of the other graduate students, but saw Maria working away in her cubicle, hunched over an acrylic gel pad with a nail in one hand, methodically oxidizing the flat head and leaving its rusted circular imprint into the clear gel pad to various gradations and proximities. The final work featured thousands of hand-imprinted marks—thousands of her smallest drawings. When a smaller version of her work later appeared as part of a group show at the then Art Gallery of Alberta, there was talk between Jennifer and Maria of one day showing together. I recall thinking how much I would like to see that.

Cast, creators of TV's 'Walking Dead' shuffling to Riverside
Three stars and an executive producer of AMC's horror hit series "The Walking Dead" will be live and in person at the Riverside Theater on Feb. 16.
Norman Reedus, who plays the crossbow-wielding outcast Daryl, and Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan, who portray the romantically involved Glenn and Maggie on the apocalyptic zombie series, will join Greg Nicotero, a co-executive producer, special-effects makeup artist and episode director, for a live panel discussion. They also will answer fan questions, provide an inside look behind the scenes of the show and screen never-before-seen footage.
This "Walking Dead" presentation isn't part of a tour, theater spokesman Andy Nelson said. Riverside Theater assistant director and talent buyer Matt Beringer is a big fan of the show, and he put together the program exclusively for the Riverside.
Based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, the relentlessly bleak and gory "Dead" has become one of the biggest hits in cable history. Week after week during its current third season, the show has been the most-watched scripted series on cable by a wide margin, according to Nielsen data. Including seven days of DVR viewing, ratings are up 35% from last fall, averaging a staggering 13.4 million viewers and a 7.1 rating among adults within the advertising-coveted 18-to-49 demographic.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. event are $32.50. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for $100, and include premium seating, a limited-edition poster, and access to a post-show meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with the cast.
Tickets go on sale beginning at noon Friday at the Riverside box office, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave., and the Pabst Theater box office at 144 E. Wells St. They also can be purchased by calling (414) 286-3663 or visiting pabsttheater.org.

Who's dating Lewis Hamilton?
Is it Kendall Jenner or Gigi Hadid that has raced to pole position in the F1 driver's affections?
Kendall Jenner was spotted wearing F1 driver Lewis Hamilton's gold chain in Monaco over the weekend, sparking rumours that the 19-year-old model might be dating Nicole Scherzinger's ex. Aside from being on #TEAMLH during the Monaco Grand Prix, Kendall's friend Hailey Baldwin also shared a photo on her Instagram showing the two sitting next to each other.
Apparently, momager Kris Jenner approves of Lewis. But then again Kendall's good friend, the newly single Gigi Hadid, might actually be the one dating the sports star. Gigi posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: "We love you @lewishamilton. Everyone knows you da champ. #TEAMLH". And the model and Lewis were also spotted at the Cinema Against AIDS gala for AmfAR held at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc last week.
So, who's dating who? We also want to know.

Midyear property tax repeal a potential 'nightmare' for counties
Legislative Republicans may have to reconcile themselves to at least one year of the state equalization property tax. It would be theoretically possible to repeal the tax retroactively during the next legislative session, so that property owners would be reimbursed for the taxes already paid under the equalization rate. But any lawmaker hoping to do so can expect fierce opposition from county treasurers.Read More »

JERUSALEM (Nov. 14)
A Jerusalem District Court ordered yesterday a ten-fold increase in the fines it originally imposed on three Israeli youths arrested for defacing walls with New Left-type slogans. The young men, aged 21 to 28, daubed such slogans as "down with the Jewish hero" and "Che Guevara lives." The court increased the fines from $43 to $430 after the prosecution entered a plea against leniency.
The three defendants all are from well-to-do homes and one is a college graduate. The "Jewish hero" to whom they objected are the Israeli soldiers in the occupied Arab areas. The late Che Guevara, the revolutionary associated with Cuban leader Fidel Castro, is a here of the New Left-type slogans. The youths belong to a small organization with pro-Communist leanings which also has artists and writers as members. It opposes continued Israeli occupation of the Arab territories.

By Denise Turney
I still remember when I first heard about Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He went by the name Lewis Alcindor back then. At the time, Kareem was playing basketball for UCLA. Sports writers deemed him to be the guy who could beat, finally beat, the dominating Wilt Chamberlain. Just as people waited desperately for someone to dethrone Muhammad Ali, people waited eagerly for Kareem to enter the NBA.
They didn't have to wait long. After Kareem was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969, expectations surrounding him grew. Wilt Chamberlain was so dominant, he appeared to be a Goliath of sorts. Akin to others, I eagerly waited for Kareem to dethrone Goliath. I also promised myself that I'd follow basketball for as long as Kareem played. Had no idea at the time that he'd end up getting traded to the very team (the Los Angeles Lakers) Wilt played on.
. . . Back to the early 1970s. Back to those heady days when change still hung thick on the American landscape.
I sat on the living room floor alongside my siblings, gaze glued to our family's black and white television screen. I wasn't even in the game, and my heart was racing. On the inside, I cheered for Kareem, begged him to win. But, Wilt Chamberlain wasn't having it.
Looking back, I think it was only right for Wilt to hold ground. After all, he was the elder statesman, the guy who'd dominated the game unlike any other professional basketball player had at that time. He deserved to be respected, even by me (smile). And today, I do just that . . . respect his game. . . But not back then. Oh, did I want Wilt to lose.
Of course, Wilt Chamberlain had a stellar career in the NBA. As the ensuing years unfolded, Kareem would do the same, becoming top scorer in the league. His sky hook would become his signature trademark, a shot not often seen today. He's also be voted to play in 19 (count 'em, 19) NBA All-Star games. He'd also rack up at least 40 points in 70 NBA games, not to mention the 61 points he scored while playing at UCLA.
Years later, Kareem Abdul Jabbar showed the world another side of himself, a storytelling side. That (and other) revelations were shared in Kareem's autobiography, Giant Steps, a book that remains my all-time favorite book written by or about a professional athlete. When I consider that Giant Steps wasn't ghost written, it makes the book that much better.
Oh, the flow to Kareem's writing. As a professional writer, I really appreciate his style, his flow. Reading Giant Steps felt like sitting on a porch with a friend, listening to him share his life's story so far. I hadn't been to New York City yet, but felt like I knew the city as I continued reading Giant Steps, felt like I'd been to the Big Apple, a city I would visit for the first time two decades later.
Jim Brown's autobiography, Out of Bounds, is another great sports book. Like Kareem, Jim Brown is candid, incredibly open and revealing in Out of Bounds. Arthur Ashe's, Days of Grace, is another sports book I highly recommend. Through these books, you get to see the soul of a man. In these books, professional athletes seem to care to hide nothing. But, that's not the books' strongest points. It's the conversational style the sports books are written in that make them winners.
Another sports book favorite is Seabiscuit, written by Laura Hillenbrand. This is so fitting, as my favorite athlete of all time is a horse – the one and only, Secretariat. Akin to the struggles central characters in Seabiscuit experience (and overcome), Raymond Clarke (star athlete in Love Pour Over Me) faces high risks and seemingly insurmountable odds. His athletic dreams fuel him forward.
It's a treasure to watch a person do what it takes to achieve her dreams. Having run track in elementary, middle and high school, I know firsthand the work that goes into achieving athletic success. It might look easy, but it doesn't always feel that way when you're in the middle of it. Watching a person do what it takes to earn a lifestyle as a professional athlete is even more commendable. It's truly icing on the cake when a talented athlete, someone who's braved fierce high winds time and again, shares his story with readers in a way only he can.
I'm glad I heard about Kareem Abdul Jabbar all those years ago, when I was a kid. I'm glad that he achieved his dreams, set records and made history. It's also a very good thing that Kareem didn't keep his life's journey to himself, but instead decided to share it while showcasing his engaging writing style. He might not have beaten Wilt Chamberlain right out of college, but he definitely wins-wins-wins with Giant Steps.

MMP and Palaisglide,have no intention in getting into "cat fights "or anything else. I fail to see how you can take a dislike to someone you don,t know and insult them on line.
As far as I am concerned this thread is for rants ,and once said forgotten.
Agree MMP life,s to short .


text: Has the in/exclusion of libsamplerate (aka 'secret rabbit code') in alsa been discussed yet? It may seem like a fringe topic but part of the success of devices like this is attributed to their ability to do the jobs of many devices at once. When it comes to playing music, for the most part, portable players are generally very poor performers (with some notable exceptions). It made me very happy to see the inclusion of a wolfson dac in the device as, traditionally, wolfson dacs have much better power handling and higher quality output than other dacs. This is why v1 and v2 iPods, which use the wolfson chips, have superior sound production to later iterations. If libsamplerate is included as part of the core the choice can be left to the user to enable some of the other samplers (like samplerate-best) and sacrifice the requisite cpu cycles in their .asoundrc. There's not a huge cost in KiB's and inclusion of the library doesn't dictate that a user MUST use the more expensive converter. Personally, I'd like to see it included since it's obvious a mixer is necessary and samplerate conversions will occur. But I'm also someone who has canalphones that cost more than a high-end iPod so it's possible my opinion is skewed. I do firmly believe that, assuming the power handling is done well and there isn't voltage bleeding (which would be silly considering that this is a mobile device and can't afford it) or rampant emi, that this device has the potential to reach into the upper echelon of audio production and could further distinguish itself by taking that crown from other contenders. (Thinking about that inevitable 'comparison' article on a tech website). Thoughts? If a 'good idea' who does this get passed to? ~Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are a person mildly interested in the adventures of Jaden Smith or just a person who is sometimes on the internet, it is possible that you may have seen a few photos of Jaden Smith with a strange blue-and-white box of water pressed up against his ear. This was not simply happenstance or the well-known quirky affectation so-called millennials have for pretending their beverages are cell-phones. It was actually some paparazzi enabled viral foreplay for a passion project nearly a decade in the making. You see, Jaden Smith is an investor in JUST Beverages, an eco-friendly water-packaging company utilizing a primarily paper Tetra Pak bottle, which, is sort of a box-shaped thing, but not so box-shaped it'll alienate people who passionately hate drinking water from boxes. The JUST bottle is made from 54% paper, 28% plant-based plastic, 15% traditional plastic, and just 3% aluminum. Retailing for just 99 cents, it's both good for your wallet and your carbon footprint. But again, I'm getting ahead of myself.

All three books in the Teton Romance Trilogy in one bundle!
Also Includes the short story, "Yellowstone Proposal".
Teton Sunrise (Book 1)
Evelyn Lewis's secret dream of marrying her brother's best friend is shattered when he leaves their home town to seek his fortune elsewhere. For six long years, she's waited and wondered if he would return. After the shocking murder of her parents, her brother is the only family she has left. Refusing to accept a betrothal to a man she doesn't love, she decides to take control of her destiny and confront her parents' killer.
Growing up, Alexander Walker has known only violence at the hands of his cruel father. After the death of his mother, he embarks on a journey into the uncharted wilderness to test his resolve as a fur trapper and mountain man. When an impulsive decision leads him back to his childhood home, he finds more than he bargained for.
Amid the rugged Teton wilderness, fate suddenly throws Alex and Evelyn together. The quiet protective boy she remembers is now as strange to her as the world she's been forced into. Wary of the hardened man he has become, Evelyn must put her trust in him in order to survive. Alex's memories of Evelyn are of a pesky little girl, but he can't deny his growing feelings for the beautiful and spirited woman she is now. His biggest obstacle in winning her heart may not be her uncertainty of him, but a fear that has haunted him all his life.
In a primitive and brutal world, can Alex and Evelyn forge a love as solid as the mountains, or will the past come back to haunt them both?
Teton Splendor (Book 2)
Naive and spoiled, Sophia Yancey believes she is the only daughter of a wealthy Boston businessman. She's always struggled to fit in among the city's elite due to her dark hair and bronze skin.
©2014 Peggy L Henderson (P)2015 Peggy L Henderson
"good stories"
good stories nice to follow on and see how the characters from before get on
"A Wonderful Trilogy Plus!"
A wonderful group of books all in one audio package that will keep you listening until the last word. This audio book starts with Teton Sunrise with Alexander Walker and Evelyn's story, a wonderful beginning to this series and one you will not want to put down. Teton Splendor follows with Joseph Walker and Sophia's story, also a book that will keep you listening way past your bedtime.Than as a bonus, we have Yellowstone Proposal, the sweet romance of Evan and Kara Russell which than flows into our last story of Teton Sunset with Lucas Walker and Tori.
For me to tell you which is my favorite would be impossible. All the heroes and heroines in each book are so well thought out as in all of Peggy L. Henderson's books. Strong and handsome and set in their ways, these heroes will each meet their match in the beautiful and feisty women they set out to save, only to find out that maybe they need saving also. The romance of each one intertwines with the mystery and building suspense and everything else we come to expect from this author. All the supporting characters are so planned out, you either love them or hate them. And as always, it's full of humor and love of family, and so beautifully narrated by Steve Marvel. He had me sobbing at times because of the beauty or sadness of the story and was so very believable in his narration of the characters.
You can tell by the beautiful descriptions of the surrounding scenery as each story unfolds, that the author knows and loves the areas of Yellowstone and the Teton Mountains in each of the book. At the end of each story she tells us the history that was mention in each book and I find that very fascinating and an added bonus. As you can tell, I loved this whole wonderful audio book and highly recommend it. JudyE
"Teton Romance Trilogy: Incl Yellowstone Proposal"
Teton Sunrise was an incredible story from beginning to end. You'll be hooked from the first chapter! Evelyn Lewis and Alexander Walker are an incredible couple that you cannot help but root for.
Teton Splendor was my favorite story of the trilogy. Incredible action packed adventure! It is so sweet that Sophia was reunited with the boy she adored when she was two years old. I loved watching Sophia's journey to finally find her place in the world. Joseph Walker, the firstborn of Evelyn and Alexander Walker is my favorite!
Teton Sunset was a fantastic ending to a fantastic trilogy. Lucas Walker, the second son of Evelyn and Alexander Walker is quite the dare-devil and he finally meets his match in Tori. They way they both rush head-long into danger to save the other is awesome! Lucas's final sacrifice for the the woman he loves will make your heart stop.
Yellowstone Proposal is Evan's and Kara Russell's story. It is very short but very sweet. Kara Russell is the girl Sophia met in the store in St Louis. Kara was determined to be a lady and asked Sophia to help her pick out ladies garments when she went to stay with her uncle in St. Louis. Evan is the man she met during her stay. She stole his heart and he decided to follow her. He hired Lucas to help him reunite with his love.
Peggy sure knows how to write action packed adventures that keep you on the edge of your seat!
"Wonderful Stories"
I am amazed at the love these three couples had for each other even though their beginnings started out rocky, then they had to endure such trials, oh my I can tell you listening to the Narrator my heart was just pounding.
Steve Marvel did an excellent job of making you feel every emotion known to man. It was as if you were right there in a front row seat watching the story unfold.
I'm not one bit ashamed to tell you I cried through their trials. The one that hit me hardest was Vic (Tory) and Lucas...oh my goodness what they both had to endure! You just have to get the book and read it for yourself to find out everything that happens. Better yet get the audio book and have it read to you. It's excellent!
One thing that would make it even more exciting is to have a man read men parts and a woman to read women parts.
"Thr Teton "
The Teton ,love all of the story hope you have more write one of the bo
"Incredible story and narration!"
I enjoyed the audio version of this trilogy!
These three books were incredible! They're descriptions of the rugged terrain, the native Americans, the cities of Boston and St. Louis, and the steamboat trip were spot on! The growing love of the different couples and trials they endured are the kind of stories that lead to legends! There were a few mild sex scenes, but even in the audio version, they're easy to skip if you feel the need! The narrator did a beautiful job portraying the Native Americans, the French trappers, the children, the city folk and the Mountain Men! A difficult task in my opinion! I was extremely impressed and completely absorbed into this series! I'm so glad they were combined into one audiobook!!
"Fantastic!!! Great series"
If you are looking for a great series, look no further. Peggy has outdone herself yet again. This series takes you to the Teton mountains and makes you fall in love, not only with the setting but with the characters themselves. If you have read any of Tge Yellowstone heartsong series you get surprise cameo appearances from characters. This is a must read.
I tried to read but just a boring predicable outcome. It kept just repeating it self
"Refreshing! Great Writing! Excellent Listen!"
Love, honor and respect. The way it should be in life, or should I say the way it use to be.
Joseph and Lucas. Really Great!
Probably Lucas.
Loved all three of them, couldn't wait to get back to the listening.
"A Triple Delight!"
Yes! The stories are GREAT and Steve Marvel does a wonderful job performing them!
I love Steve's performance. He makes great narration and character performances believable and fun to listen to.
Of course Lucas, but my favorite character is Joseph. The quiet, strong and dependable son who will do what it takes to fulfill his promise to deliver a granddaughter to her grandfather.
I was very happy to get all three of these books together along with a little surprise short story squeezed into the middle. :) Peggy does it again with her second series! I am so excited to read her third and I hope fourth Yellowstone/Teton area series!
"Another good one!"
I loved these books before, Peggy's work is always awesome! The performance was also very good. The narrator it's very good with his different voices for the various characters.

This is my second year of having a boat and the first year was a more of getting everything bought and getting everything good to go. This year I'm starting to modify the boat. I'm gonna weld up an extended pylon and do some stereo upgrades and redo the seating and such. Anyways, I need to think of a name or something ta put on the back of the boat like people do. I'm 16 and this is my dad's boat he basically bought for me( my family used it once and I took it out about 12 times, and I maintain it) I want something that is cool sounding but nothing too vulgar or ya know, unappropriate. Any body have any ideas? The boats a 20 foot I.O. with the reliable and pretty peppy 4.3 v6. I just use it to wakebaord, wakeskate behind and once in a while tubing. I wanna come up with a catchy cool,"hip" saying or name or something.

lol and whats that suppose ta mean ?
You should just name it "Air Marathon LSV" or something along those lines.
I think Kevin meant that "in the black reference"
is that you not in debt for the boat, like most boat owners are. In the black is good, in the red is bad. Its a finacial thing.
Travis, Congrats your off to a good start, 16 and your own boat!
Oh and your an airline pilot too?
We half jokingly call our boat "Its only money".
I like a name that means something to me but is a bit obscure to anyone else, using your information how about these:

Twelve two one
You used the boat twelve times for every one time your family did. Then use two instead of to, kind of a code.

DadIO
Your dads IO, kind of a 1950s hey Daddy-O maybe not cool for a sixteen year old

Powaman
Your handle

Four Pint Three
Peppy
The motor

Nothn Vulgar

Anti Rice my favorite
From your web page

Hmm I like that code idea thats pretty nifty hmm give'n me some good ideas. Lol no I'm not airline pilot just put that. I just detail cars at a local collision repair center.

Someone had to say it

Kanigo. can-i-go
"The Wanderer"
"Electra"
"H2o"
Ussually a female name who knows....Im stumped
"sofa king cool" the best boat name wver
Travis, call it "Child's Play"

since you are the kid of the family, and it's basically your toy, it would only make sense to name it how it's used.

Our boat is named 2nd Generation, because it was my grandpa's boat for many years, and now it's my dad's boat, so it's pretty self explanitory.
Lloyd that is an awesome idea. Hmm I'm gettin some good idea's here.
Cirrhosis of the River - heard that somewhere and it's been a favorite since.

I think and X-Star, VLX or Tige Riders Edition graphic on the side would be a real head turner! I almost did that to my SeaRay outboard.
Ya that is an idea I was thinking about I was thinking about the Nauitque"Air" Graphic except under air in the same graphic have it say marathon.
MONK -

how about:

Jenny

Paid For

The Opposite of Work
you are 16...

Call it "I'm Rich, B*tch"
My boat is named "Rick James" though, so I wouldn't take my advice.......
how about:

KNOTTA LOTTA YACHTA
A friend bought his own boat in high school (cash advance via mastercard) it was not quite as nice as your's in some choice earthtones, they called it the PUKESTER, inspired by the colors. Not ripping your boat just telling a true story. Name it something that reflects how you feel about it. By the way, we had way more fun in the Pukester then in any of the fancy boats we have now. There were a couple young guys ripping it up out at the delta in an older outboard last summer, they had a boombox bungeed to the bow, they were having way more fun then anybody else that day.

What's wrong with "THE PIMPRIG" as you have titled the picture?

Congrats on your boat!
I might name it the pimprig, i doubt my dad would care.

Just because I'm 16 and have a boat doesn't mean I'm rich. Were hard workers. We work hard for our money and I have worked since I was 13 for my dad. Now I have a good paying job at at a top ranked local collision repair center and am able to pay for the toys I have.

But ya right now I'm thinking about either The Pimprig or childs play, but I keep getting new ideas here so who knows.
beige bomber

my first boat (old brown, runabout w/ outboard)
we called "the brown bucket of luv"
I was just quoting the Dave Chepelle Show. Do not be alarmed. When I was sixteen, my dad had three boats. The only problem was that there were wooden and I had to sand and stain and sand and stain those bastards every summer.

No offense meant. At the end of the day, the boat name should mean something (funny, ,etc.) to you and your family and friends.
SUC MY WAKE.
}}LOL Thats the name I was gonna use.
 Thats from the movie The Great Outdoors...probably before your time.

I think
"Aquahaulic"
"$pare Change"

La Fawnduh

The Great outdoors is funny as hell. It's all about Roman.
The "Flithywhore" is what I suggest
That's great. I think?

"Altitude Sickness" - My new favorite boat name!
"My Tuition"
even though it probably isn't

HAHAHA!!! That's great
Clothing optional
Booze Crooze
Air Nautique
Tige
Hey Travis
You gotta go with something that has meaning to you. My favorate song is AC/DC's "THUNDERSTRUCK" I have a lot of stereo in my boat and the name just fit. Some people say it makes no sense but if you think about it.....Lightning stricks but being struck by a thunder of base before you even see the boat...well it works for me. Look at some song titles.
Later,
Shawn
How about Airathon?
here's a few:

"should be sunk"
"P.O.S"
"the water wrecker"
"waste of space"
"shoot me please"
"money pit"

Actor-comedian Kevin Hart was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Around 4:30 a.m., the "Think Like a Man" actor was allegedly speeding down the westbound 101 Freeway in a black Mercedes SLS at 90 mph. A CHP statement said that the car was "driving erratic," weaving across lanes and nearly collided with a gas tanker trunk. CHP officers pursued Hart, and he eventually pulled over at the Haskell Avenue exit.
"Mr. Hart had objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform the field sobriety tests," the statement said.
Hart was arrested on suspicion of a DUI and was transported and booked into the LAPD's Valley Jail in Van Nuys at 5:59 a.m, according to jail records. He was released on $5,000 bond at 1:19 p.m and faces a court date on May 9.
But the "Five-Year Engagement" and "Laugh at My Pain" actor didn't seem too fazed by the incident.
"I was actually drunk, so there's no arguing that," Hart told TMZ as he was leaving jail.
He added that his girlfriend was with him during the incident, and cops said that he was resisting arrest when he asked for his wristwatch to be removed as they were handcuffing him.

A rust inflamed rhino graced Sussex Road roundabout in Haywards Heath last April, itself a signal that a new event was taking place in the town.
From April 5 to 20 Haywards Heath Art trail returns for a second year when a new sculpture with greet drivers on the A272 eastern approach.
"It'll be large, but that's all I'm going to say," said Marion Wilcock, a director of Haywards Heath Community CIC, which is organising the event.
The roundabout sculpture, which will be unveiled as a surprise on the opening day, is one of many pieces of art that will be displayed for the public's enjoyment throughout the town centre.
"As before we're going to start at Grape and Grain in the Broadway," said Marion, "and then head up and along South Road and down in to Sussex Road."
Various shops along the route will feature pieces of art, all from Sussex artists or Haywards Heath Twinning Association towns of Traunstein and Bondues.
The hope is the trail will encourage people to break their usual shopping habits and make them explore premises they do not normally frequent.
"Like last year we are exploring all the various mediums, so we have paintings and art but also textiles, wood sculptures, chainsaw art, ceramic, metal sculptures and glass."
One of Marion's favourite exhibits will be on display in Norman Hobbs electrical store in Sussex Road. It is made by Lorraine Kelly who specialises in working with driftwood.
It is also hoped some exciting live art demonstrations will take place in Victoria Park, but details remain to be finalised.
The Art Trail is a genuine community event, entirely made possible by the dedication of volunteers, donations of art, space provided by the shops, with support from Haywards Heath Town Council.
Marion hopes the event will become an established part of the town's social calendar and act as a catalyst prompting other events and additions to the occasion to occur at the same time.
This year for example, the Paul Badham art gallery in The Orchards is hosting a month long sculpture exhibition, included as part of the Art Trail.
In future years, many fringe elements could develop the Art Trail into almost a Spring Festival, helping to put Haywards Heath on the map.

What does kappa mean?
Definitions for kappaˈkæp ə
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word kappa.
Princeton's WordNet
the 10th letter of the Greek alphabet
Kappa is the 10th letter of the Greek alphabet, used to represent the sound in Ancient and Modern Greek. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 20. It was derived from the Phoenician letter kaph . Letters that arose from kappa include the Roman K and Cyrillic К. Greek proper names and placenames containing kappa are often written in English with "c" due to contemporary rendering into the Latin alphabet by ancient Romans. However, transliterations of the modern Greek language invariably use the letter "k". Compare Κυνοσκεφαλαι, Cynoscephalae; κυνος κεφαλαι, kunos kephalai, meaning "dog's heads". In mathematics, the kappa curve is named after this letter; the tangents of this curve were first calculated by Barrow.

FOOD STUFF; For Figs and Honey, And Lazanaki Noodles
By Florence Fabricant
Published: March 14, 2007
A few months ago, Gus Theodoro, above, reopened his Greek restaurant in Greenwich Village. Adding to the charm of his rustic little restaurant is a generous shelf filled with products imported from Greece. They include lush fig jam ($6 for 12.5 ounces), Greek coffee ($5 to $8 a pound), Cretan honey ($7 for 12 ounces) and dried Greek oregano ($2 for 1.4 ounces). There are also ''spoon sweets'' -- runny preserves -- in flavors like cherry with almond ($8 for a two-pound jar), which the Greeks eat with yogurt, and pastas like short, wide lazanaki noodles ($2 a pound ). Mr. Theodoro is holding a jar of whole preserved fruits. Gus's Place is at 192 Bleecker Street (Macdougal Street), (212) 777-1660.

According to the security and business-management company, on Monday an armed gang attacked a Switzerland-bound plane at the airport in Brussels, Belgium, and stole the diamonds, a portion of which was being shipped by Brink's.
The total loss exposure hasn't been verified, while the loss exposure for Brink's hasn't been disclosed. The company said it has an insurance program in place to cover its losses
Brink's also said it has notified all of its customers affected by the robbery, who will be reimbursed promptly for all confirmed losses.
In a statement, Brink's said it is "working with customers and the authorities to resolve all outstanding issues relating to this incident as quickly as possible."
The company underscored that the robbery doesn't materially affect its full-year profit forecast.
The security company has been restructuring its European operations lately, recently saying it would divest its cash-in-transit operations in Germany, and noting that it has completed the divestiture of its guarding operations in France and Morocco.
Shares of Brink's, closed Tuesday at $26.77 and were inactive in recent premarket trading. The stock has risen 12% in the past 12 months.

In the tumult of our times, with distraction the one consistent theme, it is the children who are being called to pay the price of our loss of centre and self. To lose five children to misadventure in one week is no random, arbitrary series of events. Something is deeply wrong when our eyes, trained over millennia to watch over our young, keep losing track of them.
The place is too disturbed, too desperate, too distracted by a clattering emptiness loud enough to drown out the sound of bullets being pumped into children. Yes, people, children. When did we become a country in which children are executed? When did this become a place where two- and four-year-olds are tied up and trussed like chickens, even by thieves? When? And we just kept on going like so? Easy like that? Without even marking the moment of our descent to this new level of depravity?
The leadership vacuum in this country must be really deep when the buck has to be passed all the way down to the British High Commissioner. Perhaps he looked left and right, and seeing no hand up, felt obliged to step out of his crease, throw caution to the wind and let loose a tongue-lashing on us about our callousness to our children. When a diplomat could speak in such terms, about the public and the media, without evoking a single comment about sovereignty, we get a true measure of the state of public life in these parts.
Perhaps it was the ring of truth that muted the response to his words. Or the choking fear that our problems may now be well and truly beyond our own best efforts. In such circumstances, who better than Her Majesty's representative to tell it like it is to these former colonials, pretenders to responsible government?
But let us allow Mr Snell the privilege of speaking as the father of a son born into 21st century Trinidad and Tobago. He, too, has a stake in this. In his rather undiplomatic turn at the Rotary podium last week, he spoke perhaps for Britain but also for us. Especially for those of us whose tongues had been silenced by ambivalence over the execution of nine-year-old Jadel and his 15-year-old brother, Jamal.
Although it was the killers who put the bullets into their heads, it was the rest of us whose silence sanctioned not only this deed but others to come. Media reports about them being bad boys who terrorised people provided the perfect excuse for exonerating ourselves of the crime of having failed them and for passing the blame onto their childish shoulders.
Clearly, they had looked for it. How ironic that the media which had taken the acting Commissioner of Police to task for adducing journalistic irresponsibility as possible cause in the death threats against journalist Mark Bassant should so willingly be party to nullifying the horror of the execution of Jadel and Jamal, mere children under the law. No surprise then that, until the High Commissioner spoke, their mother could find no pity in trying to raise the money to bury her sons. For we had already rationalised away their execution and consigned them to their fate.
With Jadel and Jamal, Trinidad and Tobago may be slipping towards the gruesome world of child soldiers, where innocence is stolen and tender hearts are turned into steel within a framework of lawlessness and order.
Like other children in dangerous places around the world, childhood is not for them. Who knows what horror Jamal might've witnessed or even been party to by the age of 15? It is not enough to know the details of his doings. Far more important to the future of this republic is an understanding of the road that carried him there. If we are to rescue other children now on that highway to hell and grab them up before they enter the belly of the beast, we must engage the problem and work our way down to its roots.
When a desperate Michelle Holder collared her troubled boys and carried them to the Morvant Police Station looking for help, the system completely failed her family. Instead of getting the specialist intervention needed to turn their lives around, they probably got some tough talk and threats about jail before being sent home. At that moment their fate was all but sealed. Before taking one step further, we need to completely dissect this case and evaluate our responses at every point- from the police, the community, social services, children's affairs, the MP, the media and other elements of the system in which these boys were shaped and doomed to an early grave.
Jadel and Jamal are not only our children and our responsibility, but our victims as well. The war zone of Coconut Drive is our creation, sponsored by political protection money, happily supported by one government after another with our collective collusion.
The delusion that this is Morvant's problem will last only as long as it takes a bullet to pierce our comfort zone. Lest we forget, we will be so reminded, over and over again.
Lazy stereotyping is what keeps us blind to the reality of the other war zones mushrooming all over the country as successive governments spread the disease around in response to our upside down values that put money before all else.
This is the reality of T&T. Not that parade of politics and empty ambition designed to distract and conquer. Let's focus and keep it real to give ourselves a fighting chance.

"Rising Challenges from the Middle East:
Living and Working for Peace between Israelis & Palestinians"
Featuring Dr. Gershon Baskin, Speaker
Monday, February 8, 2016 7PM
A Jacob Perlow Event Series Program
Skidmore College, Gannett Auditorium in Palamountain Hall
The Middle East is becoming more complex and confusing. Terror is spreading across the region and beyond the region to the rest of the world. Who's against who? It's hard to know. The Israeli Palestinian conflict looks further from being resolved than at any time in the past decades. Yet Israelis and Palestinians are still living next to each other and this reality will not change.
Dr. Baskin will discuss how the turmoil in the Middle East region impacts the chances of peace and relates to how the Arab Peace Initiative is still a viable option.
Dr. Baskin, social and political entrepreneur, was the initiator and the person responsible for the secret back channel between Israel and Hamas that successfully negotiated the release of Israeli abducted soldier Gilad Shalit. His book on the secret negotiations was published in 2013 (The Negotiator: Freeing Gilad Shalit from Hamas, Toby Press).

A task force of Louisiana oyster harvesters and dealers wants the state to cancel the 2010-11 oyster harvesting season scheduled in public oyster waters east of the Mississippi River.
The proposed cancellation of a season set to open Nov. 15 would not affect private year-round oyster leases on either side of the river, some of which have been reopened since the Gulf oil spill.
The Louisiana Oyster Task Force voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to seek the cancellation of the season east of the river and in Hackberry Bay west of the river. They said allowing oyster dredging in those areas would likely kill young "spat" oysters and endanger future seasons for an industry already hurting because of the oil spill.
Oyster processor Mike Voisin of Terrebonne Parish was the lone opponent of closing the season. He said keeping available oysters off the market could hurt the industry in the long run by leading sellers to turn to out-of-state products and imports.
Supporters of the cancellation included oyster harvesters who have private leases but also harvest the oyster spat for transplanting on those leases.
Oyster harvesters in much of Louisiana have been hurt either by oil contamination, closures because of the threat of oil contamination or the flooding of the salty oyster areas with fresh water, which is harmful to oysters but which was diverted into the areas in hopes of keeping the oil out.
St. Bernard Parish oyster dealer and task force member Dana Brocato said allowing dredging in the areas east of the river would do more harm than good.
"If you rape and pillage it now, what are you going to have in the future?" she said.
Voisin said he was sensitive to the concerns expressed by Brocato and others but added that there will be oysters suitable for marketing in the area. He urged a delay but was outvoted. It will be up to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to make the final decision.
Task Force Chairman John Tesvich, a processor who did not vote, said the percentage of the state's oyster harvest that comes from the public areas varies from year to year, sometimes more than half, sometimes less.•

Angry Vettel calls Karthikeyan a 'cucumber'
After a demoralising 2011, Mark Webber is back. Unfortunately for the Australian, however, the new Red Bull is not yet a McLaren-beater.
Teammate Sebastian Vettel scored back to back titles in the RB8's two predecessors but in Australia and Malaysia was out-qualified by Webber.
German commentator Christian Danner said Webber's boost of form is "significant".
Triple world champion Niki Lauda added on German television RTL that the 35-year-old Australian seems to be dealing better than Vettel with the new generation of Pirelli.
And while behind the McLarens and a Mercedes, and identical in pace to Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus on Saturday, the Adrian Newey-penned car in Webber's hands in Malaysia is not sluggish.
"Mark is just two tenths from pole position, so we are not hopeless," Dr Helmut Marko is quoted by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
But they're not winning yet, either.
"I think the race can go a little better for us here," said Vettel after qualifying sixth on Saturday, "but I think you can see that we don't have an easy car to drive.
"We are aware of it and we are working hard," he is quoted by Spain's Marca newspaper.
Angry Vettel calls Karthikeyan a 'cucumber'
World champion Sebastian Vettel didn't just criticise Narain Karthikeyan after their clash in Malaysia — he called the Indian driver a vegetable.
The back-to-back title winner's points hopes went up in flailing Pirelli rubber towards the end of the rain-affected Sepang race following contact with Karthikeyan's back-of-the-field HRT.
"He was off the track. In my view, it was over," Red Bull driver Vettel, now 17 points behind the championship lead after just two races, said on German RTL television.
"As in real life, there are a few cucumbers on the road," the German frowned.
"It's extremely frustrating, because in a chaotic race where I lost the radio right at the beginning, a fourth place would have been satisfactory."
More broadly, Vettel admits Red Bull has work to do.
Asked about the current pecking order in 2012, he said: "We are somewhere in the middle.
"(Ferrari's) Fernando (Alonso) did a good race today but the key was to always come into the pits at the right time.
"We have work to do, no doubt," added Vettel.

The Simple Voter - System Operator's Guide
This feature requires that the USB radio devices on the remote voting receivers are connected directly to the receiver's discriminator/quadrature detector output. It is only present in XIPAR packages installed or updated (using the 'xapl xipar-update' command line utility) as of May 20, 2011 at 2030 EDT.
Signal strength reporting must be turned on for all voting devices in /etc/asterisk/urd.conf as follows:
sendvoter=1 ; 0=default, no voter rssi, 1=enable voter
In the rpt.conf [nodes] context, voting receiver nodes must be identified by IP address or FQDN and have the text ",VOTE" at the end after "NONE". For example,
5101 = email@example.com:4569/5101,NONE,VOTE
votertype=1 ; 0=default, no voting, 1=voter repeater, 2=voter receiver
votermode=2 ; 0=default, no voting, 1=voter one-shot, 2=voter continuous
votermargin=10 ; 10=default sets signal margin to vote a new winner
startup_macro=*25101 ; example to connect voter receiver in monitor only mode
After testing, change the startup_macro to make a permanent monitor connection.
Voting reciever nodes should be receive only with no transmitters and with private node numbers and they should not attempt to register or report to the AllStar network. Therefore you must edit "/etc/asterisk/iax_registrations_custom.conf" and "/etc/asterisk/rpt.conf" accordingly. In /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf comment out the status posting lines:
; program and options to send information to stats server
With this feature, in addition to the usual repeater with voting receivers configuration, you can construct things like a repeater with voted sectored/directional Rx antennas and receivers or a centrally located transmit site with no duplexer/receiver and one or more voted remote receivers.
Note that this feature simply selects the receiver with the best signal strength. You can make some adjustments (which will be described later) to equalize the IP connection delays but there will be a noticeable transition between receivers. So it's not perfect, but for most applications, it's good enough considering the cost and complexity.
Good Luck and 73,
Steven Henke, W9SH

Cars and Pedestrianssportsappsios musicappsios educationappsios
In this day and age, you can never be too car eful. As time has progressed, over the years there are added humans active in added densely busy areas about the United States (not to acknowledgment the world). Due to this fact- it should accordingly appear as no abruptness to acquisition out that there are an added amount of car accidents that accept taken abode as a result. Is the apple a added alarming abode now because there are added people? Some would agitation this catechism and acknowledgment that "yes," it is in actuality a added alarming place.
The additional week, I was active aback from alive out if I saw that there was a huge accident. Later, I begin out that a being walking forth the sidewalk had been addled by a motorcyclist who had somehow absent ascendancy of his car and had skidded assimilate the sidewalk. How alarming is that? To anticipate that we aren`t even safe walking forth the sidewalks! Is it because the acceleration banned are too top or too low? The actuality of the amount is that humans who get abaft the caster of a car, truck, bus or even a motorcycle don`t consistently obey the acquaint cartage acceleration limits- let abandoned the laws of the roadways.
What is the point of accepting laws and rules that administer how we should behave as amenable citizens if no one follows them? Can we absolutely be larboard to our own accessories to assurance one another`s judgment? Anticipate about it. If there were no rules for how we should drive, do you anticipate that humans would do the appropriate thing? Would it be absolute chaos? It is a alarming thought. There are, however, some precautions that we can anniversary yield if it comes to administration the road. As a runner, I would consistently get affronted if cars would cut me off as I approved to cantankerous the street.
To put it addition way, if you are abaft the caster of a vehicle, put yourself in the shoes of a pedestrian. As some of us are already aware, pedestrians consistently accept the appropriate of way (even if they`re wrong). This is, in part, because cars can be acclimated as baleful weapons and are abundant bigger and added than a person. If you access a bend and there is a pedestrian, consistently abeyance to see what their physique accent indicates. You may accept the blooming arrow to turn, but if a pedestrian`s physique accent indicates that they are already affective forward, then you haveto yield.
It is aswell a abundant abstraction to try to create eye acquaintance with pedestrians if you are abutting a chock-full position or even an intersection. Usually, pedestrians will attending for this aforementioned eye acquaintance from you and will accord some array of a exact or concrete arresting advertence that they accept your intentions for them to move advanced or break area they are. If we all accomplished a little added assurance both in our active habits as able-bodied as how we amusement pedestrians, then it would be a abundant safer abode to reside and plan in. Remember, if you`re not abaft the caster of a car, you become a pedestrian. That getting said, create abiding that you amusement pedestrians the way that you would wish to be treated: with account and courtesy!

About Us
In the year 1730 Alphonsus was exhausted from his missionary work. His doctor ordered him to get some rest and breathe some clear mountain air. With a few of his companions he went to Scala on the Amalfi coast, south of Naples, in Italy where he had been working as a priest. High up in the mountains was a sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Monti, a perfect place to rest, a perfect place for contemplation near mountain heights and with the sea below.
Scala also meant poverty. In the mountains of Scala there lived groups of shepherds who came to the babies cry for food but there is no one to give it to them." [Lam. 4:4] His first biographer tells us that when Alphonsus left Scala a part of his heart remained with these shepherds and he would weep thinking of how he could help them.
In Naples, after much prayer and consultation to help him to discern clearly he came to understand that he had to return to Scala. Surely there was poverty in Naples as well, but there were many others who could help the poor escape from their place as society's marginalized. In Scala the poor were alone with no one to help them. They were totally abandoned. During the time of St. Alphonsus these shepherds and the country peasants were the most downtrodden group in society. It was because of their lot in life that St. Alphonsus choose to be there at their side, to share his life with them and bring them, in abundance, the word of God.
On November 9, 1732 in his beloved Scala, St. Alphonsus Liguori founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer to follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ announcing the Good News to the poor. He was 36 years old. His life became one of mission and service to the most abandoned. The congregation was approved by Pope Benedict XIV on February 25, 1749.
Alphonsus and his companions, among whom St. Gerard Majella was outstanding, strove to come to the relief of the spiritual needs, at that time of the poor of the country districts. These they sought to assist especially by means of missions, spiritual exercises and renewals, after the manner of St. Paul [Acts 15:36].
Due to the untiring zeal of St. Clement Hofbauer, a man with wonderful faith and possessed of the virtue of invincible constancy, our congregation spread out of Italy and into Poland and Austria. Due to the efforts of Fr. Joseph Passaret, Redemptorists established missions through Europe and then in the United States of America where St. John Neumann continued the spirit of St. Alphonsus. The Congregation spread to other regions as well till at length its boundaries extended to the limits of the world itself.
Redemptorists missionaries continue the charism of St. Alphonsus in the church and in society. That spirit is captured in the Redemptorist Constitutions. : Strong in faith, rejoicing in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, in humility of heart and persevering in prayer, Redemptorists as apostolic men and genuine disciples of St. Alphonsus follow Christ the Redeemer with hearts full of joy; denying themselves and always ready to undertake what is demanding they share in the mystery of Christ and proclaim it in Gospel simplicity of life and language, that they may bring to people plentiful redemption."
"Strong in faith, rejoicing in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, in humility of heart and persevering in prayer, Redemptorists as apostolic men and genuine disciples of St. Alphonsus follow Christ the Redeemer with hearts full of joy…"
Mary's title of Our Lady of Perpetual Help has been linked with the well-known 15th century icon of the same name. In 1866 Redemptorists were entrusted with the mission of making Our Lady of Perpetual Help known. Subsequent years have shown a growth in the love and understanding that Catholics share in and through Mary. The guidance, inspiration and loving care of Mary, Mother of God, is indeed a fount of perpetual help to all who call upon her. Regular missions and novenas are celebrated by Redemptorists worldwide in honour of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
The seal of the Congregation consists of a cross with a lance and sponge mounted on three hills; on either side of the cross are the abbreviated names of Jesus and Mary; above the cross is an eye sending forth rays; over all a crown. Around the seal is the motto: "With him is Plentiful Redemption." The symbolic elements of the seal represent the work of Redemption carried out by Jesus Christ and which the Congregation was to proclaim under the protection of Mary. The seal, therefore, is considered as a clearer expression of the identity and mission of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer – Preaching Plentiful Redemption.
All the members, striving to carry out the missionary work of the Most Holy Redeemer and the apostles, put forth their most earnest efforts to preserve the spirit of their holy founder Alphonsus. They ever identify themselves with the energetic missionary activity of the church especially in everything that has reference to the poor and devote all their powers to relieving the needs of the world today. Redemptorists live in missionary communities always welcoming and prayerful like Mary of Nazareth. By means of Missions, Retreats, Pastoral Ministry, ecumenical apostolates, the ministry of reconciliation and the teaching of moral theology, they proclaim the love of God the Father which in Jesus "dwelt among us."
There are over 5,500 Redemptorists and they work in 77 countries on all five continents helped by many more men and women who collaborate in their mission and together form the Redemptorist family.

Baby #3 has arrived
This will be very short, I can't tell you when I might write a longer version.
Our baby #3 (a boy) was born Friday, 9 March, at 9:23 am. After quite a long week of going to the hospital and telling them that I was in labour and yes indeed the monitors showed that I was in labour but no, they weren't willing to perform the c-section until my labour was definitely progressing which at that point it wasn't, just lots of contractions with nowhere to go.
Anyway, things really started happening early Friday morning and we headed to the hospital and arrived at 6 am and he was born a little later.
We're glad to be home, he's doing well, I'm recovering from the c-section and I only burst into tears once today
I don't know when I'll have a chance to post more (or read anyone else's!) but I'm always happy to hear from you.
