A Valentine's Weekend Art Event will be held Artist Tree Tea House GALLERY156 at 156 and 160 School St., Bristol.
On Saturday, Feb. 15 at 3 p.m., Tanya Leonard will be on hand for an art performance of music and painting. Tanya is a singer songwriter, who will perform a magical painting performance while singing with her guitarist to create a lovingly beautiful and intimate experience. A canvas will be given and art supplies provided to create with the performer.
From Connecticut,. Leonard also has lived and performed in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Tanya creates her images on canvas and paper working in acrylic, watercolor, ink and pencil, glitter, cosmetics and other mixed medias. Recently she has begun expanding her visions to larger foundations while always maintaining the magical integrity of her intricate designs. Tanya foregoes working on an easel and chooses to work from her lap instead, usually from a spot on the floor. She also paints while performing, which allows for an intimate and unique exchange between artist and audience.

I was sitting in front of my computer writing this story when my seven-year-old, Belle, walked by.
"What're you doing?" she asked.
"Writing a story about you," I replied.
"Don't write about me."
"Can you read yet?"
"O.K. I won't write about you."
Now, where was I? Oh yeah, I was writing this story about Belle.
If you haven't visited the Louisville Slugger Museum in Louisville, then it's well worth the trip.
Saturday, my wife, son and I spent the afternoon perusing the museum, exhibits and factory where the baseball bats are made.
As we toured the facility, I was struck by the diversity that the game of baseball represents.
Congressman Ben Chandler showed his true colors recently by voting for a massive special interests pork bill. The "cap-and-trade" bill barely passed the U.S. House (most of the moderate and conservative Democrats voted against it, along with nearly all the Republicans), and, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), will cost the average Kentucky family nearly $200 more each year on their energy bills.
I've been reading a lot on the national debt of these here United States lately.
I think the U.S. Government is going to spend some $1.8 trillion dollars more than it will take in this next year alone.
Trillion? Isn't that a hard word to wrap your mind around?
Dear Editor,
Where is our responsibility to respect our American Flag?
After Memorial Day weekend was over, and into the following week, I returned to the Willisburg community to get the American Flag I had taken down to my husband's grave.
"Bless us, O Lord, and for these thy gifts which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen."
Grace is such a simple prayer. It's a prayer of thanksgiving and a reminder that all we have comes from a loving God.
I had an uncle who died many years ago that never ate anything without saying Grace, and I mean nothing. He seemed to take it to extremes.
As my colleagues and I began the second week of the 2009 Extraordinary Session, we were still uncertain as to if we would be able to accomplish our foremost mission, addressing our almost $1 billion budget shortfall. With the Senate approving one version of the budget and the House approving vastly a different one, many were unsure about the bill's fate. Yet, after only one day, the conference committee emerged from negotiations with two bills geared towards economic recovery and fiscal discipline.
You know what?
If you do think you know "what," then you probably don't know anything. You're just lucky you have an old man like me around to straighten you out. Old people know everything. The first thing is, there are a lot of "whats" in life. I like to give them out one at a time in this here column so as to not confuse you.
Today's "what" lesson is kids tear up a lot of things.
I'm glad that in these weekly columns I have an opportunity to share thoughts and opinions about things going on in the world.
I write in the local newspaper while millions of others share their opinions via a blog on the Internet.
One item caught my attention last week that had me shaking my head.
NBC Nightly News reported that some pet owners are spending upwards of $15,000, out-of-pocket, for surgery for a beloved cat or dog.
That's fifteen thousand dollars, cash!!!
Do you know what a "School Resource Officer" is?
I sure didn't until about a month ago.
But I do now, and it's important for you to know, as well.
A lot of times I avoid talking about tough, important topics because it's too difficult to address them properly in the limited amount of space I have. Please bear with me as I attempt to tie together school resource officers, Washington County High School and our local school board.
For some people "exercise" is a dirty word. The fact remains, however, that almost everyone can improve his or her health through regular physical activity. Physical activity has been shown to substantially reduce the risk of developing or dying from heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and high blood pressure. In recent years, research has linked regular physical activity to the prevention of breast cancer, stroke, osteoporosis and many other major health complications.
In Kentucky, we have horse racing, and we have the lottery. Sure, those are gambling, but now, some lawmakers want to bring in even more gambling in the form of slot machines.
Do the people of Kentucky want the slot machines? Depends on who you ask.
I'm not a gambler, nor do I want to see Kentucky become a state filled with crime and the other things some opponents of slot machines in the Bluegrass will tell you slots will bring.
"Look through the windshield, not the rearview mirror."
Lauran's favorite quote
Washington County High School had its graduation a couple of weeks ago. There were 143 graduates, and I'm sure each had a story to tell. But none could be more compelling or inspiring than Miss Lauran Elizabeth Yates' journey to that special night.
The governor has called the General Assembly back to a Special Session to address the budget shortfall. Under our state constitution, only the governor can call a special session, and he alone determines what can be considered. If there is a lack of consensus, the General Assembly determines when to adjourn. In addition to the budget issue, the governor has added to the call the Indiana-Kentucky bridges legislation, and an economic development package that includes incentives to attract new industry and economic development to Kentucky, including the National Allianc
For anyone who complains about getting a ticket for not buckling up when driving or riding in a motor vehicle, here's a crash course in reality:
• 826 people were killed on Kentucky's roadways in 2008.
• 55 percent of those killed were not wearing a seat belt.
When worn correctly, seat belts are proven to reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat occupants by 45 percent and by 60 percent in pickup trucks, SUVs and minivans.
I didn't know George Yocum very well.
Jesus Christ was the ultimate storyteller, and he did it through what they call "parables." The parable leads the listener to one important moral lesson that can't be denied or rationalized away.
I think God sent me a parable to live out this last year.
Let me tell you about it.
If I were God, I would create humans with rewind buttons on their mouths or a 10-second delay device.
We tend to say some really dumb things.
Once I met a man at a gym who said he'd been a bodybuilder for 48 years. Since he wasn't all Hulk Hoganish, I asked, "When did you stop?"
Although he laughed, he looked at me with a combined horrified amazement as if to say, "I can't believe you said that!"
My 80-year-old New York City personal advisor, Mr. S. Willey, is riding around the country visiting all of his clients. He stopped by my house last week to see me and pass out some of his sage wisdom. I know everyone can't have a personal advisor, so I thought I'd let you in on what he had to say during his visit.
Yep, I remember it like it was yesterday, mainly because it was. There was a knock at the front door and…
"Mr. Willey, come on in! What a surprise!"
The highest court in the land has an opening. With Justice David Souter's retirement, President Obama will nominate and the Senate will debate the confirmation of someone new to take his place.
It is no secret to anyone who has followed my career that I believe the role of a judge is to apply the law as written, not create law from the bench. Perhaps the best expression of this sentiment is found in the oath of office every federal judge in America, by law, must take. That oath reads:

Fried Pig Ears with Chile-Lime Vinaigrette
Adapted from Primal Cuts, by Marissa Guggiana
I get it. Pig ears? Really? Gross, right? I thought so, too, until I took a business trip to Los Angeles and a friend took me to Vinny Dotolo and Jon Shook's brainchild, Animal. My buddy Steve told me, "You're gonna love this place!" Fortunately, we're both the types who will try anything once. Seeing pig ears on the menu creates an instant friendly "I will if you will" competition. Imagine my surprise when we not only tolerated the dish, but absolutely loved it! Crispy pig ears, braised past the point where the cartilage has a cringe-inducing crunch that makes your teeth slide sideways but still maintains some texture. Deep fry those suckers, toss them in a chile-lime vinaigrette and serve them hot with a fried egg, yolk running into the mixture. I dare you to find a more satisfying hangover cure (sorry, Dick's, this one beats the Deluxe).
When I got home from my trip, I tried calling and emailing the restaurant, and the woman who answered the phone firmly explained that they don't share recipes. DON'T YOU HATE THAT?!?!? I tried winging it at home, looking up other pig ear recipes (one of which I will post later this week - Teague Ezard does a mean pig ear salad) and testing them out on my adventurous friends. They were good, but they didn't touch the simple elegance of this version. Finally, I picked up Marissa Guggiana's "Primal Cuts" cookbook, excited to see what artisan butchers around the country did with the meats they sold. I couldn't have been happier when I got home and found my coveted pig ear recipe from Animal on page 121. All my hatred for the recipe-hoarding douche at Animal disappeared.
I've made this 3 or 4 times now, and my only advice is that you do not need to braise the ears for 36 hours as the recipe states. I usually braise them for about 16 hours in a 225-degree oven. Braise them a little longer if you want less of that crunchy cartilage mouth-feel. (I know that's not an appealing descriptor, but it's accurate. Maybe this is why they haven't been kicking my door down to offer me a job writing menus or working for Hallmark.) If the thought of pig ears grosses you out and you manage to suck it up enough to try this, please let me know what you think. I think you'll be a convert.
Fried Pig Ears with Chile-Lime Vinaigrette
2 lbs pig ears (most Asian groceries carry these in the meat section)
Frying Oil
Kosher Salt, to taste
4 Fried Eggs
1 ½ cups fresh lime juice, strained
1 cup chili garlic paste
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
¼ cup chopped green onion
- Clean pig ears of any extra hair. (Note from Marc—I've never purchased pig ears and noticed any extra bristles or hair. They typically come pretty well cleaned.) In a large pot, cover the ears in plenty of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 36 hours at a light simmer. (Note from Marc-Instead of the stove top method, I prefer braising uncovered in a 225 degree oven for 16-18 hours. In either case, be sure to check the water level every few hours and refill with hot water as needed.) Check occasionally to make sure the ears stay submerged in water. Skim the surface of the water occasionally. After 36 hours, take out the ears and lay them flat on sheet trays to cool.
- Mix all vinaigrette ingredients and set aside. Julienne ears 1/8 of an inch thick.
- Heat oil in a large deep skillet ro 360 degrees Farenheit. Fry ears for 3 ½ minutes, or until crispy. Place ears in a large bowl lined with paper towels. Season liberally with salt. Take out paper towels and toss in vinaigrette, coating the ears lightly. Serve with fried eggs.
Serves 4.

text: Hi Jack, It looks like you might have a typo in your includes: /usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include should be -I/usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include. Without that, gcc thinks /usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include is a source file, and as it stated you cannot use -o with -c and multiple source files. For future reference, the way that hpl runs its make system is as follows: 1) You make a Make.arch file that specifies details for your architecture/setup/etc. This is your Make.Linux_PII_CBLAS. This file goes in the top level. 2) When you run 'make arch=Linux_PII_CBLAS', they create a subdirectory for Linux_PII_CBLAS in every src directory. 3) In that directory, they create a symbolic link Make.inc to your Make.Linux_PII_CBLAS 4) Into that directory they copy the appropriate make file from hpl/makes (e.g. hpl/makes/make.auxil). Each of these make files has an 'include Make.inc' in it. 5) They run make from these directories. Thus they are actually running make from a subdirectory of each of the src dirs. This is why the include paths are so often referencing many directories above, and why you were seeing references to ./src/auxil/Linux_PII_CBLAS/Makefile Don't worry about having screwed things up by copying over that file; its recopied each time anyway. Just be careful not to get rid of the files in hpl/makes. Hope this helps! -Kevin On Mon, 2005-04-04 at 06:46, jack at crepinc.com wrote: > Hello again, > > I did what you said and went through the Makefile and fixed the paths. > (I don't know why I didn't think to do that).

I haven't been on this forum in a long time.I am just wondering that since the new fiscal year starts in April (at least that is what my recruiting ctr said) I am curious to know how many sup tech position are currently available. I know right now it says 'direct entry', but I am just curious. Kinda interesting how I never see anyone mentioning about joining that trade.
i just mentioned it 2-3 post ago :p
Just got the call Friday for comm's research apr 16Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I didn't know they worked on Saturdays, congratulations can't wait for my call!
Friday lol. Friday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My apologizes, I saw someone else saying they got a letter and I confused the two and didn't even read before replying, I stand correct. Edit: Also kinda jealous awaiting mine :p
When did you applySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
late September, how about you?
NovemberSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
well congratulations and sorry for the mix up :p, god speed!
That is true. CFRG HQ holds the authority for recruiting and intake; however BMQ/BMOQ serials are controlled by CFLRS (Canadian Forces Leadership & Recruit School); at the moment CFLRS hasn't given it's course information to CFRG HQ for BMOQ so there's a delay. I have been told this is in the process of being resolved; however that's the problem as it exists today.
Hi! I'm wondering if there was any selection for ROTP Pilot for current FY and how many spots are left currently.Thanks in advance.
Good evening, Buck. Do you have any information about how many SEELM Physio spots are available for the 2018/19 FY and when selection might start occurring for them? Thanks.
Good Evening I was wondering if you could provide some information on the CEOTP-Pilot program. It is my understanding that this entry program is not normally fully filled and was wondering if selection for 17/18 is still possible or if it will be the 18/19 FY. Also if possible could you provide details on how of this program is selected off the merit list. In the posting of entry program and selection dates there is no listing for CEOTP. Is it selected on its own or does it fall under ROTP or DEO selection dates? Thanks for The help.
Is there any news on the last selection date(s) for the 2017/2018 FY? I imagine they will be happening soon before we rollover to the 2018/2019 FY intake. Thanks
Any chance for me to know what's left for infantry, atis, and supply tech
Hey Buck any idea when the next selection is for comm's research is?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can't say anything for sure, but from looking at the CFLRS website (see for yourself on http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/training-establishments/recruit-school.page) it seems that BMOQ dates after 12, March 2018 are now published: there are 2 starting in May, 1 starting in Aug and Sept respectively. Hopefully this is the development that us DEO applicants have been waiting for.After checking with the local RC, there remains 18 spots for Infantry DEO for the 17/18 FY - a figure that has not changed since I was competition listed in November. Assuming that these spots need to filled by April 1st - especially now that we have solid BMOQ dates for the rest of 2018 - I am optimistic that many of us will get the good news soon. Hang in there and best of luck.
Yes new dates were released last week; so it is likely that DEO offers will occur this week - again this is not in stone, but I am willing to bet that DEO offers will be happening soon.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres says it is a privilege to play in the same team as the likes of new Stamford Bridge favourite Eden Hazard.
Both Torres and Hazard had outstanding games in the 2-0 win over Newcastle.
"A player like him (Hazard) can make a difference," he said. "It is a privilege for a striker to have a player like him or Eden or Juan (Mata), Oscar or Lamps (Frank Lampard) behind you," he told ChelseaTV.

What is trigeminal neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia (say: "tri-jim-in-ul nyoor-al-juh") is extreme burning, electric or shock-like pain in the face. The pain can be so extreme that it can get in the way of normal activity. Even the fear of oncoming attacks can be so stressful that performing day-to-day tasks is a challenge.
The pain may last a few seconds or minutes, then ease and then recur. Usually, these cycles of pain occur for a few days or weeks, and then stop for days, weeks or even years before returning. Over time, the cycles tend to recur more quickly, with shorter breaks in between.
The pain sometimes is triggered by very normal activities, such as chewing, smiling, talking, shaving or brushing your teeth. At times, even the wind on your face can cause pain to start.
Some people who have trigeminal neuralgia notice numbness or tingling of the face in the days leading up to an attack.
Causes & Risk Factors
What causes trigeminal neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia occurs when the trigeminal nerve is pinched or damaged. The trigeminal nerve connects many different parts of your face to your brain. It is made up of three branches. The upper branch links the brain to the scalp and forehead. The middle branch connects to the cheek, side of the nose, top lip, and upper jaw, teeth and gums. The lower branch travels through the lower jaw, teeth, gums, and bottom lip.
Often, the damaged area of the nerve is located at the base of the brain where the nerve leaves the skull and extends to parts of the face. The nerve may be damaged from a blood vessel that grows too close and presses on the nerve or wears away the nerve's protective coating (called myelin). Damage to the nerve can also result when extra pressure is put on the nerve by something else, such as a tumor. In many cases, a cause of the nerve damage cannot be found.
Who is at risk for trigeminal neuralgia?
Anyone can get trigeminal neuralgia, but it happens most often in people older than 50 years of age. It's also more common in people who have multiple sclerosis, because multiple sclerosis damages the myelin that protects the nerves. Women are more likely to get it than men, and the condition seems to be passed down in families, probably because relatives' blood vessels form in similar ways
Diagnosis & Tests
What tests can help diagnose trigeminal neuralgia?
No one specific test can confirm you have trigeminal neuralgia. Often, the diagnosis is made by ruling out other possible causes of your pain. Your doctor may try to pinpoint the cause by asking you questions about your symptoms and medical history. You may be checked for other things that could be causing your pain, such as jaw, sinus or tooth problems.
A type of brain scan called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be done to see if a blood vessel is pressing against your trigeminal nerve. An MRI can also look for signs of a tumor or other problems.
How is trigeminal neuralgia treated?
Trigeminal neuralgia can be treated in many different ways. As with many disorders, some treatments will work well for some people and less so for others. Don't get discouraged if the first treatment you try doesn't work. Let your doctor know how you are doing and ask about other options.
Your doctor may prescribe an anticonvulsant, antiseizure or antispasmodic drug. These medicines change how nerves transmit information, or how the nerves "fire." That is why they can help with the pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia. Examples of these medicines include baclofen, carbamazepine, clonazepam, gabapentin, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, topiramate and valproic acid.
Certain types of antidepressants can also be useful in the treatment of pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia. Antidepressants alter the chemical action in your brain that leads to sensing pain. Some examples include amitriptyline, paroxetine, fluoxetine, nortriptyline and some newer antidepressants.
Combinations of two or even three medications may be more effective than a single medication. Often, a lot of time is spent in trying different medications and combinations of medications to find the most effective medical treatment. Side effects, such as feeling tired, can limit the use of some of the medications.
Your doctor might suggest you try a nerve block, which is an injection with an anesthetic that will stop the nerve from hurting, at least for a little while.
If medicines do not help enough and the pain is affecting your ability to function, you may need surgery. During surgery, your doctor will damage or destroy certain nerves using chemicals, electric currents, radiation or other means. The trigeminal nerve itself might be cut to eliminate or reduce the pain. Any surgery in which nerves are destroyed will cause some ongoing numbness. However, sometimes, pain can return after surgery and be worse than before.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- I have multiple sclerosis. Am I at risk of trigeminal neuralgia?
- I've had trigeminal neuralgia. How can I prevent it from happening again?
- How long will this condition last? Will it go away permanently?
- What kinds of medicines treat trigeminal neuralgia? Are there side effects?
- Will I need surgery to treat trigeminal neuralgia?
- Will lifestyle changes help treat or prevent trigeminal neuralgia?

It's looking like it may be one of those years, the ones where the Corona del Mar High and Newport Harbor girls' water polo teams meet a handful of times during the season.
Last year they met five times, including in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 title match. This year they've already met twice, and the third time appears likely this weekend at the Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions.
CdM (8-2) and Newport Harbor (9-3) are both in Group C. Should they both win their tournament openers, they'd meet in a tournament quarterfinal at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Dos Pueblos High.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed at the Tournament of Champions, which is typically the toughest of the three in-season tournaments that the teams play.
Corona del Mar, ranked No. 4 in CIF Southern Section Division 1, opens its tournament against Rosary at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Dos Pueblos. The Sea Kings are led by players like Stanford-bound senior Cassidy Papa and senior lefty Ally McCormick, who is going to BYU for swimming.
But this also will be the first tournament for CdM's senior transfers from Greece, Stephania and Ioanna Haralabidis. The twins, who have signed with USC, are off to a hot start. Stephania, a lefty, scored five goals in each of CdM's first two Pacific Coast League victories.
Corona del Mar, the defending Santa Barbara TOC champion, is trying for its fourth TOC title. Last year the Sea Kings rallied from a 4-0 deficit in the tournament title match to defeat Newport Harbor, 10-8, behind tournament MVP Diana Murphy (now at Princeton).
Newport Harbor, by contrast, has never won the TOC title. The Sailors have finished in second place in the tournament a remarkable seven times since 2003.
Newport Harbor opens its tournament against Santiago of Corona, on Friday at 2:30 p.m. at Dos Pueblos High. Santiago, last year's CIF Division 2 champion, enters the match ranked No. 5 in Division 2.
The Sailors are led by their three seniors who are also bound for NCAA Division 1 water polo schools, driver Carly Christian (UC Santa Barbara), center Elissia Schilling (UCLA) and defender Avery Peterson (USC).
Holiday Cup champion Foothill, which took over for CdM as the top-ranked team in Division 1, is the top-seeded team in the tournament. Los Alamitos, which didn't play at the Holiday Cup, is the TOC No. 2 seed. The Griffins are ranked No. 5 in Division 1.
Overall, the Tournament of Champions lives up to its name. It features the top seven teams in Division 1 and the top eight teams in Division 2.
Tournament semifinal matches are scheduled for 11:10 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Saturday at Santa Barbara High. The championship match is scheduled for 4:35 p.m. Saturday, also at Santa Barbara.
Tournament of Champions
Pool A: Foothill (ranked No. 1, Division 1); Laguna Beach (No. 6, Div. 1); Mater Dei (No. 1, Div. 2); San Clemente (No. 9, Div. 2).
Pool B: Los Alamitos (No. 5, Div. 1); Santa Margarita (No. 3, Div. 2); Montebello (No. 4, Div. 2); Dos Pueblos (No. 7, Div. 1).
Pool C: Corona del Mar (No. 4, Div. 1); Newport Harbor (No. 3, Div. 1); Santiago/Corona (No. 5, Div. 2); Rosary.
Pool D: El Toro (No. 2, Div. 2); Santa Barbara (No. 2, Div. 1); Murrieta Valley (No. 7, Div. 2); Agoura (No. 6, Div. 2).
Friday's schedule
(at Santa Barbara High)
12:30 p.m.: Santa Barbara vs. Murrieta Valley
1:30 p.m.: El Toro vs. Agoura
2:30 p.m.: Laguna Beach vs. Mater Dei
3:30 p.m.: Foothill vs. San Clemente

1:30 p.m.: Santa Margarita vs. Montebello
2:30 p.m.: Newport Harbor vs. Santiago of Corona

(Note: teams will play two games on Friday).

As a designer of custom jewelry, Amanda Keidan sometimes takes delicate vintage pieces and reworks them into intricately sculptured, modern collections.
The same could be said for her sunny, art-filled Venice home, where gold accents blend with sparkling glass, and vintage barrel chairs share the living room floor with new Ikea ottomans and a cool lamp bought off the flash sales site Gilt.
"Everything is very specific," Keidan said of her decorating style. "I want your eye to look at something. I like having things to look at — things that are pretty."
In the otherwise all-white cottage kitchen, a startling blue contemporary triptych by Venice artist Melissa Harrington catches your eye. In an otherwise staid, traditional guest room? A red abstract painting.
"I enjoy those pieces every day," she said, noting that the red painting was by her grandmother. "Those pieces make me happy."
Keidan's passion for art is not surprising given her background: Her great-grandfather was renowned pianist Leopold Godowsky. Her grandparents were Leopold Godowsky Jr., a violinist and co-inventor of Kodachrome film, and Frances Gershwin Godowsky, sister to composers George and Ira. The multitude of artworks throughout Keidan's house creates an ambience that is elegant yet whimsical — and deeply personal.
"I love that there is a story behind each artwork," she said. "It's as though my friends and family have left thumbprints on my home."
She purchased the three-bedroom, two-bath house last year after looking at more than 100 properties in the last four years. She had, she said, given up when she visited the Venice house ,where friends from London had been staying. "It was a little like the cliche you often hear about falling in love," she said, laughing. "Stop looking and you will find it."
After convincing the owner to sell, Keidan embarked on a four-month renovation to give the 1947 home a cleaner look.
"I wanted it to be light and airy and cheerful," she said.
Mustard and red accent walls were painted museum white and soothing neutral tones. The exterior went from dark blue to more white. New windows were installed to bring in natural light, and new landscaping made the most of outdoor spaces, too. Small fixes, such as smoothing the home's warped walls, helped to achieve the clean-lined look Keidan wanted. And though much changed, Keidan was careful to keep what worked: the original floor plan and striking leaded glass windows that Keidan said were from the old Helms Bakery on the L.A.-Culver City border.
For Keidan, who grew up in New York, the result is much like the Venice community she has grown to love: an eclectic space that doesn't conform to one particular style — just like her jewelry. "I tell my friends to start with pieces they love," she said. "And go from there."

Subject: Shows and Expos | May 31, 2012 - 12:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: thunderbolt, ssd, ocz, lightfoot, computex 2012, z-drive R4 CloudServ, SandForce 2581, PCIe SSD
OCZ will be showing off some of the same things they showed off at CES though they are much closer to release. Lightfoot is their external Thunderbolt enclosure which will house SSDs that can utilize the extra bandwith provided by the new external transfer technology. They will also being showing off Enterprise class PCIe SSDs, the brand new Intrepid line of SSDs and software designed to replace SANs in a network environment. Keep an eye out for more details as Computex grows nigh.
SAN JOSE, CA—May 31, 2012—OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, will showcase the Company's latest client and enterprise storage solutions at Computex 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan June 6 through June 9 at the Taipei International Convention Center.
Continuing to demonstrate leadership in both the enterprise and consumer markets, OCZ will display a comprehensive lineup of its innovative SSD products. For high-end business, server, and OEM clients, OCZ will showcase PCI Express (PCIe) SAN acceleration and replacement solutions, and unveil the impending Intrepid 3 SATA III SSD Series based on the Everest 2 architecture.

For client storage, OCZ will showcase the flagship Vertex 4 SATA III SSD, along with the upcoming 'Lightfoot' portable SSD designed with the Intel Thunderbolt platform that excels in data transfer speeds and offers high capacity for multimedia professionals.
OCZ Launches Z-Drive R4 CloudServ 16TB Solid State Storage System
Subject: Storage | February 14, 2012 - 02:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

How does 6.4TB of Synchronous Mode Multi-Level Cell NAND storage sound to you? It is still a PCIe 2.0 device but it is capable of up to 6,000 MB/s which is none too shabby.
SAN JOSE, CA—February 14, 2012—OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, today announced the Z-Drive R4 CloudServ PCI Express (PCIe) flash storage solution, designed to dramatically accelerate cloud computing applications and significantly reduce operating expenses in the data center. The new Z-Drive R4 CloudServ features monumental data throughput, and raises the bar in performance and capacity.
"The Z-Drive R4 CloudServ PCIe solid state drive delivers game-changing performance and enables clients to process massive data-sets with up to 16TB of storage capacity on a single, easy-to-deploy card," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology. "With this new solution, system architects are able to design more efficient and dynamic cloud computing infrastructures while simultaneously reducing system complexity and the high maintenance costs associated with traditional infrastructures."
With increasing emphasis on cloud computing and the sheer growth in data, PCIe-based flash storage systems have the ability to bypass traditional storage overhead by reducing latencies, increasing throughput, and enabling efficient processing of massive quantities of data. The Z-Drive R4 CloudServ is capable of transferring multiple gigabytes per second and delivering over a million IOPS with a level of concentrated performance that enables system architects to design more productive infrastructures while lowering costs associated with hardware failure, maintenance, structural footprint, and energy consumption.
The latest evolution of the Z-Drive R4, the CloudServ, is specifically designed for the most demanding cloud computing applications with increased capacities and even greater bandwidth capabilities delivering up to 1.4 million IOPS. Melding hardware and software managed solutions with OCZ's integrated Virtualized Controller Architecture™ (VCA) 2.0 and OCZ's SANRAD VXL virtual acceleration caching software, the Z-Drive R4 CloudServ can be employed as a high-performing host-based flash cache that works in conjunction with the VXL to dynamically allocate flash resources to accelerate all virtual machines. This maximizes the performance of critical applications and provides a seamless migration from one host to another without the loss of cache data. As these virtual machines are migrated from one host to another, they must retain full access to the flash cache without loss of performance or interruption of service. OCZ's SANRAD VXL software is the only software that allows for this seamless migration without loss of access to the flash cache.
The Z-Drive R4 CloudServ PCIe SSD will be available in models ranging from 300GB-16TB capacities throughout OCZ's global channel in the coming weeks. As with all OCZ enterprise products, customer-specific configurations and functionality are available upon request.

Marylou Speaker Churchill (1945–2009) joined the NEC Preparatory School violin faculty in 1981, and was chair of the Preparatory School strings department from the mid-'80s through the 1990s. She taught studio lessons and orchestral repertoire classes in the College from the 1990s until 2009, and was increasingly active as a teacher at the College level following her retirement from the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2000. At Commencement 2006, Churchill received NEC's Louis and Adrienne Krasner Teaching Excellence Award.
Churchill joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops in 1970 and was appointed to the position of principal second violin in 1977, a position she held through her retirement in 2000. Upon her retirement, the principal chair went to her former student Haldan Martinson '97 M.M.
During her three decades with the BSO, Churchill worked extensively with William Steinberg, Erich Leinsdorf, Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Colin Davis, Bernard Haitink, Claudio Abbado, Klaus Tennstedt, James Levine, and Andre Previn. She was a violinist with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players from 1993 until 2000, touring in Europe and South America, and recording with them the Shostakovich Piano Quintet, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2000. In the summer of 2001, she was the violinist in the world premier at Tanglewood of Portraits for soprano, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano by Richard Danielpour with Cynthia Hayman, William Hudgins, Yo-Yo Ma, and Emanuel Ax.
Churchill was invited by Sir George Solti to be faculty and principal second violin of the Carnegie Hall Solti Project in 1994, and a year later, he invited her to lead the second violins in the "Musicians of the World" orchestra concert held in Geneva, Switzerland, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.
Marylou Churchill gave numerous recitals across the United States, and appeared as soloist with the Boston Pops under Arthur Fiedler, John Williams, and Keith Lockhart, and orchestras in Brazil, Japan, and the U.S., as well as the Ural Philharmonic (Russia) under Sarah Caldwell as part of a tour of the Soviet Union.
In addition to her teaching at NEC, Churchill coached for The New World Symphony Orchestra in Miami Beach, Florida, and was a violin coach for the Asian Youth orchestra in Hong Kong and at youth festivals in New Zealand and the U.S.
Churchill was married to conductor, cellist, and NEC dean Mark Churchill, and they have twin daughters.
B.M. with honors, NEC. Violin with Joseph Silverstein, Catherine Peterson, Raphael Spiro, and Eudice Shapiro. Chamber music with Eugene Lehner, William Kroll, Felix Galimir, Alexander Schneider, and Robert Mann. Faculty of Tanglewood Music Center, Musicorda Summer Chamber Music Program at Mount Holyoke College, Boston University Tanglewood Institute, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the Heifetz Institute.

Friends of Marylou Speaker Churchill is an open Facebook group through which Churchill received messages and memories during her final days. Mark Churchill writes, "We encourage you to continue to share your remembrances and stories with each other and with us. Together all of the postings from this group provide a wonderful portrait of our dear Marylou. This will only become richer as new people join and add to the collection."

Where do I find nutritional info for raw and common foods. I need info for proper nutrition labeling.
As part of the Agricultural Research Service section of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a public national nutrient database has been established listing nutrient information for many common raw and processed foods. The National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (or "SR19" for short) can be found at the following link: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/. While this database is a wealth of information and a great resource for people interested in very detailed, specific nutrient information—such as dietitians, researchers, etc., it may be a little confusing or overwhelming for the general public. Still, it is a credible resource for this type of information that is available to all.
It appears that your interest in nutrient information is for nutrition labeling. Please be aware that if you are developing a food product—as a food manufacturer, you are bound by Federal laws governing food products under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) jurisdiction. FDA is responsible for assuring that foods sold in the United States are safe, wholesome and properly labeled.
The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) requires most foods to bear nutrition labeling and requires food labels that bear nutrient content claims and certain health messages to comply with specific requirements. Regulations pertaining to food labeling are published in the Federal Register prior to their effective date and compiled annually in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Also be aware that FDA assigns the manufacturer the responsibility for assuring the validity of a product label's stated nutrient values. While the source of the data used to calculate nutrition label values is the prerogative of the manufacturer, FDA has very specific recommendations for the process. A publication entitled, Guidance for Industry: FDA Nutrition Labeling Manual – A Guide for Developing and Using Data Bases, would be advised reading if you are embarking on food product manufacturing or distribution.

City Data: Open is the New Black
While many may have heard the statistic "Cities are home to 50% of the world's population", few realize that it leads directly to a sobering and much less hyped conclusion: we face an urgent need to understand how our cities work.
Cities are now the defining human organizational structure on earth, but what do we know about these creations? Sadly, not enough. Which is why collecting and disseminating high-quality data about cities and how they function is of critical importance.
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has recently taken a giant step in this direction by making our 2013 data set on over 100 large cities, their greenhouse gas emissions, and their actions on climate change available for free download in CSV files via our website. This effort—made possible by a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies and our long-term partnership with C40—brings our voluminous data into the public domain for the first time.

I've come a long way since college in how I deal with disappointing performances. There was a time back in my younger years where my friends and family would tremble in fear if they had to be around me after I had performed poorly. I was the type of person that took competition seriously and always expected the most out of myself, so when I didn't live up to my expectations it made me angry. I then thought it was my responsibility to make everyone around me suffer through my emotions until an appropriate amount of time had passed and I had thoroughly milked the disappointment for all it was worth.
Well, luckily, I've grown up. To an extent. I do have such a better perspective on how to view competitions and I have come to realize that living in the past does absolutely nothing for your future. Sometimes you simply have a bad day. It's a fact of life. Other times you screw up and the best you can do is learn from it in order for it to make you better in the future. But when you sulk, throw a fit, and make yourself a living hell to be around, all you do is make yourself and those around you miserable for no reason.
Like I said, I've grown up a lot. What used to be two days of sulking, is now down to about 20 minutes. I accept that it wasn't my day, I try to objectively analyzed what happened to the best of my ability, and then I put it behind me. But what I have not grown out of is my dislike of chatting about disappointing performances. I hate it. To this day, if someone asks "How'd it go?" , when it didn't go well, they will get a rolling of the eyes, a mumbling under my breath, and a quick change of subject. I expect those close to me to learn that cue and quickly move on. If you'd like to avoid that awkwardness, my suggestion is to investigate beforehand whether or not I would be pleased with my performance and decide after that to ask how it went at your own risk. The only reason I want to discuss it at all is if it's with someone who can actually help me figure out some things. But just to sit and chit chat about why I sucked that day? Not my thing.
So if you were planning on asking me how my opening weekend went, don't bother. I am giving you the proverbial eye roll and muttering under my breath. I'm not mad about it, I'm no longer obsessing about it, but one thing is for sure--I don't want to talk about it. :)

A quiet January came and went. Filled with wintery things like ice skating after work (quite awkwardly), practicing crochet stitches and delivering a few straggling Christmas presents (shown above). I suppose the year is off to a slow start but I refuse to worry too much about that, especially on a sleepy, rainy evening like this one. So far I've been happily dreaming more than doing — about getting organized and starting new projects. And I've been trying to cherish free time, rather than fret about how it seems ever insufficient. How is 2012 treating you, friends?

Titans' late mistakes cost game, playoff control
The Tennessee Titans keep making mistakes at crucial times, and
now they've lost control of their playoff destiny and possibly
their last chance at a winning record.
A team that has scored 122 points in the fourth quarter this
season couldn't score late, and a defense that had been so stingy
couldn't get off the field when it mattered most as the Titans lost
22-14 to Indianapolis. Tennessee now has lost six of its last
eight, and five of those losses have been by nine points or
Coach Mike Munchak said Monday they don't see some of the errors
that may happen in games in practice and fix them when they do.
"It's the fact that unfortunately sometimes it's growing
pains," Munchak said. "Sometimes it's you … become a better
team as you grow through some of the mistakes that do happen."
The Titans outplayed the Colts in so many categories: outgaining
them 347-264 in total offense, holding the ball for nearly 34
minutes, sacking Andrew Luck five times and holding the Colts to
five field goals. It wasn't enough to overcome four turnovers by
Ryan Fitzpatrick, including an interception with 33 seconds left
after driving to the Colts 33.
"We all know what covers up bad mistakes or mistakes is someone
making a big play that overshadows some of the mistakes that are
made by other teammates," Munchak said.
The Titans had one interception and missed chances at two
others, including early in the fourth quarter when George Wilson
dropped a ball that hit him in the chest. The Colts also fumbled
the ball three times and recovered each one.
"Unfortunately when you lose it just makes them all worse,"
Munchak said.
Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey said they can't point fingers at
anyone because everyone took a turn making a mistake. He said the
Titans are playing with passion and heart but need to correct the
mental errors.
"That's been our biggest thing all season," Casey said.
"Mental errors when it comes to crunch time we just can't snap out
of it and get these wins."
Now the Titans (5-7) trail Baltimore and Miami, both 6-6, for
the AFC's final playoff spot with four games left. They visit
Denver on Sunday and a quarterback in Peyton Manning that Tennessee
has struggled to beat for years. The Titans tried to sign Manning
in March 2012 only to watch him pick Denver.
The Titans, who held the AFC's final playoff spot a week ago,
now trail Baltimore and Miami who are both 6-6. The Ravens still
must visit Detroit and Cincinnati and hosting New England. Miami
finishes with trips to Pittsburgh and Buffalo and hosting New
England and the Jets.
Tennessee hosts Arizona before visiting Jacksonville and home
against Houston. The Titans are 0-4 in the AFC South this season
and 4-12 under Munchak.
Tennessee does get safety Michael Griffin back after serving a
one-game suspension against the Colts as a repeat violator of the
NFL's rules protecting defenseless players. The Titans are thin at
tight end with Delanie Walker being monitored after being evaluated
for a concussion that knocked him out of the Colts' game, though
Craig Stevens has a chance to return.
"We all got tough roads ahead," Munchak said. "We've made it
harder without a doubt, so we have to go win a game this weekend
which most people don't think we have a chance to win. "
Notes: QB Jake Locker talked briefly to reporters Monday for the
first time since having surgery to repair his right foot last week.
He said he hopes to be back on the field for minicamps next spring
with a definite return for training camp. … FB Collin Mooney was
having tests on his left knee after leaving Indianapolis on
crutches wearing a knee brace. Munchak said the Titans will look at
the possibility of adding another fullback.

My dear Mr. Maynard:-
On the eighteenth, I received your letter requesting "evidence and information with respect to my contributions through research to intellectual, social and economic history of our times" and thank you. Unfortunately, some of the evidence is not now available to me and a good deal of it has been destroyed. I will try to give the gist of my contributions and also tell you where you can find copies of my articles in mathematics. My research separates into two distinct periods and, corresponding, into two very different kinds.
Having received my graduate training in the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy of the University of Chicago (chiefly under Professors E.H.Moore and L.E.Dickson, writing my theses under the latter), it was inevitable that I should continue research in algebra: linear algebras, nilpotent algebras, matrices, quaternions, division algebras; modular invariants and convariants in a Galois Field, GF(p^n), of order p^n --- both formal and otherwise; and ideals of a matric algebra. The resulting papers were published in "Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society", Transactions of the A.M.S", "Annals of Mathematics", "Journal of Mathematics", and "Journal de Mathematique Pure et Appliquée" as well as in "Proceedings of the International Mathematical Congress" (Toronto, 1923(?)...not sure of year) and "Atti del Congresso Internazionale dei Matematici" (Bologna, 1928). If, perchance, anyone should wish titles, etc., he will find them in the annual lists of published papers in the Bulletin for the respective years. Since these lists are restricted to papers given before some meeting of the A.M.S., one would have to look in the above "Proceedings" and "Atti" to references to them.
Possibly pertinent to your interest in my research would be the fact that I did refereeing of research papers in above lines of algebra offered for publication to Transactions of A.M.S., Annals of Math., and (I think) Journal of Math. For some years, I was an Associate Editor of the Transactions of the A.M.S., a research journal. Also, I wrote the article on Quaternions for the Encyclopedia Britannica (14'th Ed.).---Around 1930, the International Assoc. of Univ. Women formed a committee to award fellowships and I was made the judge of any math. MS submitted to it.
In the fall of 1940, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt sent me an autographed copy of "Victory: How Women Won It...1840-1940" and included with it a program of the Women's Centennial Congress (25-27 November, at Hotel Commodore, N.Y.C.). Also included was a list of about a hundred living women who were described as "outstanding career women" and I was one. She wrote asking me to address a meeting of the Women Suffrage Association (or something of the sort) in Danville (I think it was). Feeling that I had no right to leave my job long enough for the trip, I declined. Since then, I have regretted that I did not go.
All the above is concerned with my research in pure mathematics and appointments and the like that grew out of that interest. Then in 1940 came the second World War and I found myself caught up in its tentacles. The Amer. Math. Soc. appointed a Cryptanalysis Committee with (as I recall) five members of whom Prof. A.A.Albert of the University of Chicago was chairman and Commander H.T.Engstrom the military (and hence the most important) member. Later, they apparently added some members and I was one of them. Accordingly, I had entrusted to me several classified military documents of the U.S.Signal Corps.
Footnote: This meant that I had to exercise great caution as to their safety. Naturally, as a naive self-protection, I told the head of my department about the work and the documents, showing him the letter from Commander Engstrom. Otherwise, I did not mention documents or work to a soul except to an officer of the U.S.S.C. or to the F.B.I. when need arose. I never had them in my office at Univ. and I used them only in my apartment which I shared only with a loyal dog. If the door-bell rang when I was working with them, I quickly scuttled them out of sight and reach, replacing them with innocent stuff (research in progress) in algebra that was waiting. At my summer place (this), I had installed a Diebold Treasure Chest with triple-combination lock and then changed combinations single-handed.
It so happened that one of my ideas was, apparently, the bit that was featured by Commdr. Enstrom when he gave this preliminary report to the A.M.S. at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago in the spring 1943 or 1944.--- Later, they suggested that I go to D.C. to make certain contacts and I so did on my way back to my job in early fall of 1944. [Of all my various reports, I kept a carbon copy, sent original "registered, return receipt requested" and then burned my copy in a galvanized iron pail, pouring ashes down toilet.] It so happened that one of my ideas was, apparently, the one featured in the preliminary report of the Cryptanalysis Committee made by Commander Engstrom to meeting of A.M.S at Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago in spring of (1943 or) 1944.

My dear Mr. Brichford:-
This is a correction of a mistake that I made in my letter to you dated 23 February, 1964. On page 3 (in note for page 2), I said that I did not mention the fact that I was doing a bit of work with the Signal Corps or that I had had loaned to me by them some classified documents except to an officer of U.S.S.C. or to F.B.I. when need arose. Very recently, I have remembered that I did mention both facts a few times for what, at the time, seemed adequate reasons. For example:
Shortly after battle of Coral Sea, to Gerald E. Moore, Ph.D. then (as I recall) Assistant Professor of Math., The University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill. Much later, when living here, to Roger Adams, Ph.D. (Harvard), Professor of Chemistry, The Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois.
Of these two men, the former was in my department and I had reason to think him loyal and discreet as well as intelligent. The latter, I had known since the beginning of my freshman year at Radcliffe when he was lab. assistant in chemistry at Radcliffe. That was 1909-1910. Needless to say, I had reason to believe him loyal, intelligent and discreet.
Sincerely yours,
(Miss) O.C. Hazlett

Though the Motorola i1 first debuted for Boost Mobile, we initially heard about it as a Sprint Nextel phone. As we mentioned in our review of the Boost Mobile version, the Motorola i1 is notable because it is the first-ever Google Android phone to run on Nextel's iDEN network. It is also one of the first Android smartphones to be certifiably "rugged," plus it supports Nextel's venerable push-to-talk network. It's by no means the best Android phone out there–it only comes with Android 1.5, and you won't get the fastest data speeds on iDEN–but Nextel addicts will be happy that they finally have an Android phone they can call their own. The Motorola i1 for Sprint Nextel is available for $149.99 after a two-year service agreement.
The Motorola i1 from is 4.65 inches long by 2.34 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick, and is clad in a military-certified casing that is built to withstand the elements: blowing rain, dust, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, low pressure, salt fog, humidity, and solar radiation. However, it's not water-resistant, so we wouldn't take this on your next diving adventure.
Aside from the little things like the appearance of the clock and the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi widgets, the Motorola i1 from Sprint Nextel is physically identical to the Boost Mobile version. Because of that, we won't bore you with too many details, and direct you on over to the Motorola i1 for Boost Mobile review for more on the touch-screen and overall controls of the Motorola i1.
Unfortunately, like with the Boost Mobile version, the Motorola i1 from Sprint Nextel comes with Android 1.5. This is a rather obsolete version of Android, as there are already phones on the market with OS 2.2, and most phones these days come with at least Android OS 2.1. Even the most basic Android phones are equipped with OS 1.6. Motorola claims this is because the company wanted the first iDEN Android phone to be absolutely stable and solid, which is a fine explanation, but here's hoping that Motorola rolls out an OS update to the i1 soon.

Sobering story, Sose. It is amazing how quickly you can deteriorate when the cold gets into you.
I was climbing Mt. Dade once with some friends. We marched up the couloir in the early morning. It was cold, clear, and still. Everything seemed routine. When we hit the eastern crest of the Sierra, there was a howling wind coming from the west. Up until then, I thought I could operate in any wind I could stand up in, but I learned better. We sat down on some rocks to take our crampons off, for the trip up the ridge. By the time I had them off and secured, I was deteriorating rapidly, physically and mentally. So were my companions. We only had to exchange a few words, shrieked at close range to communicate in the wind, to have a meeting of the minds. We turned around. Back in the couloir, on the eastern side of the crest, sheltered from the wind, everything was fine again. Two different worlds, one of them deadly and the other peaceful, a very short distance apart.
I'm sure many people on this board have had similar experiences.
