Silvia Ros, a lesbian photographer from Miami Shores, has officially become part of American history: The Smithsonian in Washington has acquired 86 of her freelance images to be displayed with the national museum's growing LGBT collection.
"It's fantastic," said Ros, who with Anne Swanson, her partner of 10 years, will attend a Smithsonian reception Tuesday morning at the National Museum of American History.
"It was really important for me that these prints go into the Smithsonian for history," Ros said. "But it was more important for me that I document these people who are fighting, and the reasons they have found themselves in this position to do so."
"This fight was personal for me," said Ros, 44, who has been on her own since age 17.
"Growing up in a conservative Cuban household, once my family found out I was gay, they threw me out of the house. They blamed me for turning my younger brother gay. That was not true. He was pretty gay to start with," Ros said. "When they threw me out and told people why I wasn't at home anymore, they told people I was on drugs. To them, that was better."
Smithsonian curators learned of Ros through a friend of hers who works at the museum, she said.
Ros carefully cataloged her photos before sending to the museum. "I gave them really formal captions that they were happy to have, so it wasn't just a photo, there was a story attached."
Said the Smithsonian in a statement: "The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has a long tradition of documenting the full breadth of the American experience and what it means to be an American. The LGBT narrative is an important part of that American story, and the Smithsonian has been documenting and collecting related objects for many years."
Along with Ros' photos, the museum has recently acquired a tennis racquet from transgender player Renee Richards, materials from the TV comedy Will and Grace (on NBC from 1998-2006) and diplomatic passports from former U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand David Huebner and his spouse, Duane McWaine.
The bulk of Ros' photos were taken in Washington at the National Equality March in October 2009.
Among the LGBT activists she has captured for posterity:
• Janice Langbehn, who inspired the federal government to revise hospital visitation rights for same-sex couples after her partner, Lisa Pond, died in 2007 at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
• Felipe and Juan Sousa-Rodriguez, LGBT immigration activists from Miami fighting for passage of the DREAM Act.
• Walker Burttschell, a gay Miami Beach man discharged from the Marines in 2003, who seven years later shook Barack Obama's hand moments after the president signed repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell.'
"I think it's awesome. It's amazing for her," Burttschell said Sunday, adding that his photo depicts "a really pivotal moment in LGBT history."
"It really started public discourse on the issue," he said. "It made it easier to talk about marriage equality and equality in the workplace."
Ros said she hopes that through her work future generations of LGBT people will know how they achieved equality. "As rapidly as these things are changing, I want to make sure we don't forget or lose the history of this movement."

Posts TaggedRayman Fiesta Run
I was a huge fan of Rayman: Jungle Run last year when it came out. In fact, I loved it so much that I gave it a near-perfect review, praising its gameplay, visually-arresting art design, and unique twist on the platforming genre. With Rayman: Fiesta Run, Ubisoft is trying to raise the bar again.
The sequel brings a ton of new elements to the game, including swimming and, perhaps regrettably, in-app purchases. This review is a unique opportunity for me to reflect on what worked with the original, what still works, and what the formula is like a year later. Is a sequel necessary? Did the first game need little refinements? Read on to find out.

The Honors Program at The College of St. Scholastica was created to provide an environment for Honors students to have enriched learning experiences and provide a community of support for learners devoted to a vigorous life of the mind. The Honors Program achieves these goals by providing a supportive setting for the unique social and academic needs of these students.
The courses in the Honors Program are designed to provide challenging learning experiences, to investigate compelling and controversial ideas, and to require students to take charge of their learning by being actively engaged in the learning process instead of being passive receivers of information. Involvement in honors courses allows students to exercise their intellect and develop their potential to the greatest degree possible.
The honors faculty acts as intellectual mentors for students in the Honors Program, serving as role models of academic rigor, critical reflection and analysis, and the integration of ideas from different disciplines. Faculty members who teach in the Honors Program also function as academic advisors to honors students.
Students who become involved in The College of St. Scholastica Honors Program should strive to love ideas and the discussion of them, not fearing intellectual debate. Honors students are able to listen to others' ideas with respect, no matter how much those ideas might conflict with personal sentiments. They embrace their college opportunities, demand the best that the College can offer, and are willing to risk the analysis of an idea for its improvement and for the individual's greater understanding. They desire a life of learning.

Apple has kept the classic white plastic MacBook around as a sub-$1000 (well, barely) option in its notebook lineup ever since the introduction of the aluminum "unibody" MacBook last fall. While the aluminum 13" model recently graduated to "pro" status, the lonely MacBook has sat by seemingly ignored, languishing without significant updates. That won't last for long, though, if the latest rumor is to be believed.
According to anonymous sources speaking to AppleInsider, the MacBook is currently "undergoing an industrial design overhaul." The laptop will reportedly get some internal rejiggering along with a sleeker, lighter enclosure. With the redesign will come a lower price, as well.
AppleInsider suggests that the lower price will come as a result of some trade-offs in the hardware architecture. Apple would likely use lower-end Core 2 Duo chips from Intel and could likely ditch the FireWire ports. We wouldn't be surprised to see Apple dump the optical drive too, adding further cost and weight savings, nor would it be unusual if Apple designed in a non-removeable battery. (Heck, throw in a physically smaller screen, and you'd pretty much have yourself an Apple netbook.)
The white MacBook has been one of Apple's best selling products since the heady days of the Apple II and, despite the move to the aluminum unibody construction for the rest of its laptop line, the lowly MacBook still continues to sell well. With nearly 60 percent of back-to-school shoppers looking to spend less than $750 on a new laptop, though, shaving a couple hundred bucks off the MacBook might make even more students and budget shoppers lean towards a Mac instead of a Windows- or Linux-based alternative.

My fish has issues; it's complicated.
By Amy Grondin
Join Slow Food Seattle for My fish has issues; it's complicated - Sustainable Seafood in a Multimedia World, a conversation with Chefs Barton Seaver and Becky Selengut at the Broadway Performance Hall on Monday October 17th from 6:30pm to 8pm. A cookbook signing and reception featuring Snoqualmie Vineyards, The Pike Brewing Company, and an oyster bar from Taylor Shellfish will follow from 8pm to 8:45pm. Tickets available now through Brown Paper Tickets, $12/pp.
It's time to cut through the fog of confusion that surrounds choosing and eating seafood. Sustainable seafood can be enjoyed in such a way that our personal health and the health of the oceans are of equal consideration. There are lots of sustainable seafood options to be had but how do we identify them?
East coast meets West coast for this fun and informative sustainable seafood presentation with Becky Selengut, our own local fish whisperer, and Barton Seaver, who's visiting from D.C. While cooking is a hands on activity that engages all your senses, these two chefs have also engaged their minds and ethics in the process without finger pointing at those of us who are still learning about sustainable seafood. We can benefit from their research and hours in the kitchen by reading the sustainable seafood cookbooks each chef released in Spring of 2011
The evening's conversation will appeal to folks who receive their information in many different ways, from slow as the printed word to speedy as devices can deliver. As part of the presentation our chefs, led by edibleSEATTLE editor Jill Lightner, will talk about how technology allows them to engage with eaters who may be new to seafood and not necessarily cookbook readers who specifically sought out a sustainable seafood book. Love your smartphone? Smart and sassy blog and Facebook posts, Tweets, websites and YouTube videos by Becky and Barton are just a click away.
Or perhaps you would rather meander printed pages that are glossy with images of seafood briny and sweet from the ocean? A person can pick up either chefs' cookbook and get the full story – recipes with a dash of science sprinkled in as seasoning. Pick up your copy of For Cod & Country, Barton's cookbook or Good Fish, Becky's cookbook after the presentation.
What might you learn from our chefs? Both Becky and Barton encourage us to eat a variety of fish besides the perennial favorites of shrimp, salmon and tuna.
Eating a variety of seafood protects the health of humans and fish populations. Creating a marketplace demand for many types of fish eases the pressure on the whole ocean food web by spreading harvest efforts over many species and not over fishing a one popular fish.
An example? Small silver fish - once popular, then over fished due to market demand but on the rise again - just might make it back to everyone's dinner plate as Barton and Becky's followers learn from reading a computer screen or a cookbook page about recipes that balance the fishes intense flavor so the rich, nutritional qualities of these environmentally friendly fish are enjoyed.
And in or out of a tin, we need to get over our national suspicion of small silver fish; they are delicious, not scary! Join us on Monday October 17th and we'll talk about it.
Barton Seaver, chef, National Geographic Fellow and author of For Cod & Country
Becky Selengut, chef, instructor and author of Good Fish
Jill Lightner, Editor of edibleSEATTLE
Thanks to our event sponsor, Seafood Producers Cooperative for their generous support and also to our presenting partners: Readers to Eaters, Snoqualmie Vineyards, Pike Brewing Company, Taylor Shellfish, and edibleSeattle.

- wake up looking like something from Shrek due to ludicrously swollen eyelid - remnant of something-or-other incurred during the folk festival which has decided to make its presence felt again; listen to splashing rain, decide to get bus rather than cycle-train-cycle; miss bus, which arrives early; go home and potter about for hour and a quarter until the bike ban no longer applies; cycle-train-cycle; arrive wet at work and discover first meeting started 35 minutes earlier; a new low for professionalism there, then...
- at lunchtime, go into town on employer-provided bus (no complaints there, certainly), pay in cheque, buy Optrex, attempt to get new watch strap in market (nope; watch/phone vendor replaced by T-shirt stall), attempt to find out why mobile no longer working (nope; Vodafone shop currently inhabited by workmen having lunch), buy copy of Knit Today (first issue*), go to usual uninspiring-but-quick pub for lunch, wait half an hour while reading Knit Today*, get refund for forgotten order, buy sandwich, go back to work
- go home via station, which has two broken-down trains clogging platforms, a fatality and broken points down the track, every train on the board cancelled at one stage and an "emergency service" for local stations provided, onto which the damp and huddled masses stream; but then the inevitable tacit commuter-leperdom-for-cyclists treatment prevails while I attempt to extricate my bicycle up the line... the scene at the home station, when the two people guarding the doors stand with their backs pressed against the 'open door' buttons staring into the middle distance, is particularly fine... you'd think they've been rehearsing... Tom Stoppard would have been proud.
*am not going to comment on Knit Today in the light of the rest of this; maybe I was just in a bad mood and it wasn't that bad. I'll have another look at it tomorrow.
So. Something much nicer. Last Saturday.
Jan and I set off, fired with Cultural Zeal, to go to the Tiffany at Somerset House. We started off at the British Library. The café at the BL has a lot to recommend it, if you're stuck in the Kings Cross/St Pancras area for any length of time. You don't need a BL card to get into it (or the bookshop), the sandwiches are good, it's quiet and civilised, and you get to stare at books from the Kings Library while you're at it. You can give, and open, presents in relative privacy and coo over them for a reasonable amount of time. And you can knit (Jan demonstrates)
and finish and blog socks.
Those are books from the Kings Library in the background, but Jan's photo is much better.
Anyway, les Baudelaire - basta! - they're finished, they're really lovely, I'd do them again no problem, they're easier than they look, and I wore them for the rest of the day (it was, frankly, not very warm on Saturday, and they sort of went with the rest of what I'd hesitate to classify as an ensemble)...
Obviously all that kulcheral proximity had worn us down; a simultaneous decision was made to ditch the plan and go to Loop because we'd not been there for a bit... I picked up the latest IK, a pair of purple 3.25mm Swallows to replace the one I snapped last year, an Addi for St Brigid and a skein of undyed Opal sock yarn because I belately realised I'd dyed up the one I offered as a prize in the Hanging Garden KAL. Phew. But got out of there without further temptation.
So that's the beauté part of this post; apart from this last one: EJ has already blogged the mouse; but here he is in his new habitat, surprisingly unfazed by surrounding cats... Bless. And as ever when I get something handmade, I end up picking him up and and just looking at him every so often... The urge to say 'Look, my friend made this for me!!!' on the bus on the way home from Ely was very strong, but I quelled it on the grounds that People Just Don't Understand.
Now. Ordre.
I'm trying. Here's The Stash. It fits into 12 large storage boxes (at the moment; I've rounded most of it up from around the house) and I'm now trying to bung it onto a spreadsheet... Most of it is odds and ends; I need to learn to crochet ripple stitches...

Bond Reduced for Rhiannon White, Mother of 3 Kids Killed in Fire
SIOUX FALLS - A Sioux Falls woman charged with drug possession and child neglect after a fire that killed her three children might be able to leave jail under a new set of bond conditions.
Judge Brad Zell on Monday set bond at $10,000 for 34-year-old Rhiannon White. She had been held on a $30,000 bond since being apprehended March 28 in Sibley, Iowa, after skipping a court hearing that day.
Defense attorney Amber Eggert told Zell on Monday that White had been confused about her earlier court date and did not mean to skip.
Zell also ordered White to participate in a sobriety program. She's due back in court May 10.
Authorities allege White tested positive for drugs after the Dec. 22 house fire that killed her 6-, 12- and 16-year-old children.

A's offense backs ageless Colon in win over Rangers
ARLINGTON -- Bartolo Colon will celebrate his 40th birthday on Friday, so the veteran is trying to soak up his final days as a 30-something in fine fashion.
In that regard, consider Monday a success.View Full Game Coverage
ARLINGTON -- Bartolo Colon will celebrate his 40th birthday on Friday, so the veteran is trying to soak up his final days as a 30-something in fine fashion.
In that regard, consider Monday a success.View Full Game Coverage
Colon looked ageless in a seven-inning showing against the Rangers, limiting baseball's best team to two runs on six hits in a 9-2 A's win, the club's fourth straight.
"At this ballpark, going into it, I would've taken six," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "I talked to him after six, asked him how he was doing."
Colon's response?
"He asked me how I was doing," Melvin said, smiling.
The skipper left him in for one more inning, and Colon responded with three quick outs, the last two of which resulted in strikeouts. He had three on the night, next to two walks -- marking the first time all season he had issued more than one.
Overall, Colon faced just five over the minimum with the help of a trio of double plays, ultimately improving to 14-2 with a 3.16 ERA over his last 18 starts against Texas. It was his 19th career win over the Rangers, and only Bert Blyleven, Dennis Leonard and Jack Morris have as many.
"In all my career, I've always pitched well in Texas," Colon said through interpreter Ariel Prieto. "I like pitching at this field a lot.
"I don't know. I've always pitched well here. I don't know why."
Colon utilized 95 pitches before Melvin opted to let his bullpen finish off the job.
"He's 40," Melvin said, "and we want to try to get him through the season. Anything over 100 for me is starting to get a little uncomfortable. To get us seven and just short of 100 was terrific."
The righty had plenty help on his side, too.
After edging out the Royals with three straight wins in as many one-run games over the weekend, the A's didn't let their biggest foe get that close to them, compiling 15 hits and marking the first time in May the A's plated more than five runs -- a feat they accomplished 15 times in April, when they went 16-12.
This month hasn't treated them so kindly, as they've been plagued not only by injuries but by inconsistent performances from both their pitchers and hitters. But on a windy Monday evening at Rangers Ballpark, everyone delivered.
There was Coco Crisp, who entered the contest with just one hit in 13 at-bats since coming off the disabled list, before finishing with three hits and an RBI. He also had one of the club's eight walks.
That sparkplug presence typically makes everyone else better, and that was surely the case on this night, with every starter except Derek Norris collecting at least one hit. Five came in a four-run fifth that broke apart a 1-1 tie and sent Rangers starter Josh Lindblom out of the game.
Crisp, Yoenis Cespedes and Brandon Moss all doubled in the inning, and Seth Smith, who had already homered off Lindblom in the second for his first home run since April 28, contributed an RBI hit. So did Chris Young, who also had a hit in Oakland's three-run seventh.
The A's added another run in the ninth, somehow leaving 15 on base during the affair.
"You get frustrated during the game at some of the opportunities when you leave some guys on, but we continued to fight through at-bats the whole game," Melvin said. "In this ballpark, you gotta keep adding on, because a big inning can pop up on the other side real quickly."
"You gotta go out with the mentality that the offense has gotta be rolling, and I honestly felt like it really started from the top with Coco," said Josh Donaldson, who had two hits to raise his average to .319. "Whichever way he goes is probably where the offense is going to go that day."
And Colon simply followed along.
"He was outstanding," said Jed Lowrie, who secured his eighth three-hit game of the season. "He really attacked the zone. He just went out there and threw strikes and did enough to keep guys off balance.
"Everyone knows what he's accomplished. It's just a testament to how much he enjoys to play the game and how he's still got that competitive fire. You gotta tip your cap to someone who can still go out there with that after they've been doing it for so long."

Beautiful Games: velo art
Inspired by old photographs of the cyclist Major Taylor, Eliza Southwood has created a range of screen-prints and digital illustrations which trace competitive cycling from the present day to its illustrious past. Grand Tours and track cycling are reduced to strong and simple representations, often using just four of five colours. 'I see everything through a kind of filter in terms of colour and line and wonder how it would look as an artwork,' she explains. Southwood was an architect before studying art, and takes inspiration from the likes of Lautrec and Hockney. Her art is on display in the new Look Mum No Hands! cafe in Hackney, London, and she has made the event posters for the Orbital Cycling Festival. To see more of her work, check out her website.
