This is a disgruntled contractor who did not complete the job properly. Many electrical items do not work at new facility. A complaint is being filed with the contractors state licensing board.
My daughter attended Uma a Academy from 3rd grade through 8th grade and she is now getting a 4.14 at a private Christian school in our area. In addition, she was just nominated to serve as a National Scholar from California at the National Young Leaders Conference. I attribute her success in part to Uma a Academy who not only prepared her well, but let her grow as an individual and as the leader she has become. I also have a 6th grade daughter in the program.
Yes, beware, we had great hopes for our first time at umana , but it was very stressful and not a good fit for my daughter, we withdrew after the 3rd month , and were locked in the contract to pay for the full year, you must be a very capable parent at homeschooling and be prepared for a fast moving agenda in the classroom. Not a happy environment . A little decieving on the outward appearance . good luck!!!
Umana Academy is a great school!! My daughter loves everything about the school. Umana is a true gift from God.
My kids went to Umana for pre-school and pre-K before moving on to the local public school. They were so well prepared for kindergarten! Umana has wonderfully caring teachers and their emphasis on the arts makes school both fun and enriching for the kids.
Beware. I was very disappointed once I signed up and then realized I couldn't get out without losing a lot of money.

One of my favorite holiday activities when I was a kid was going for an evening ride to look at the Christmas lights - and it remains one of my Christmastime pleasures to this day. If a drive in search of neighborhood lights doesn't fit your schedule this season (or even if it does) you may enjoy an armchair peek at some of the most extravagant holiday light displays around the nation - from New York to Los Angeles (with forays into Boston, Connecticut, and Orange County as well). Read on for some Christmas eye candy, featuring the most over-the-top light displays we know!
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, you may find yourself looking for something to do on Christmas day. Really, who can sit around the house with an energetic kid (or a whole group of kinder kin) all day? Most places in and around Boston are closed, but we've come up with a few things you can do with kids on December 25. Read on for eight multigenerational family fun ideas.
Magical winter wonderlands, full of lighted displays, twinkling lights and sparkling scenes. Each year, it seems like holiday light displays get more and more elaborate. Some can be viewed by car, some by train, others on foot. There are even tour buses that will take you to some of the neighborhoods that really get decked out for the season.
We've rounded up some of the best holiday displays in and around Boston that families can visit throughout December. Is it time to start a new holiday tradition this year by checking out these spectacular sights? (For more holiday traditions, please see our Winter Holidays Fun Guide.)
Ah, The Polar Express. It has become as much of a holiday tradition for our kids as The Nutcracker. The talented Chris Van Allsburg created a classic with the story about believing in the magic of Christmas. The book-inspired movie became an instant classic, which in turn inspired all sorts of events, usually involving hot chocolate and visits with Santa. Here's how Boston families can experience The Polar Express brought to life through train rides, story times, and even a 4D movie ride.
This time of year, kids can find Santa ho-ho-ho-ing it up at most holiday events in the area - tree lightings, holiday walks, craft fairs, even at the Boston Pops performances. We've rounded up some of our favorite places where the kids can see Santa in and around Boston.
All the kids have to do is be sure they're good, for goodness sake!
Our December Go list is packed with holiday events and activities. Looking for a Nutcracker performance or the best places to see holiday lights? Figuring out what to do during school vacation or on Christmas Day? It's Christmas and New Year's in Boston, and there are so many things to do that all families really need for the holidays is more time to do them all.
Holiday celebrations kick into high gear in December, many beloved seasonal traditions return, and the calendar is packed with special performances, historic re-enactments, and vacation-week activities. Read on for our top, must-do holiday activities for families, favorite special events taking place in December, and some activities that are available all winter. And for more ideas, see our Holiday Fun Guide and Events calendar.
Local mom and "Outdoors with Kids Boston" guidebook author, Kim Foley MacKinnon, shares her best family outing tips and picks with you as part of our guest blog series with the Appalachian Mountain Club's Kids Outdoors Boston free online community.
Winter, blustery weather, and the holidays are upon us, and it's good to have a few strategies in place, especially when you have kids. Here's a list of some cool products that can make winter even more fun for your family, and they all make great gifts as well.
After visiting Concord Museum's annual exhibition Family Trees: A Celebration of Children's Literature for the first time last year, my family now has a new holiday tradition. Concord Museum celebrates the town's rich literary heritage year-round with exhibits featuring literary giants, and during the holidays, the presentation becomes even grander. For almost two decades, the museum has celebrated classic and contemporary children's books with Christmas trees (and wreaths) inspired by those books. Each tree pays tribute to or brings a story to life in its own unique way. Here's more about the exhibition and what's happening at the museum during the holidays, plus some tips for getting the most out of your visit with kids.
We're glad you're here at Mommy Poppins Boston, your free online resource for everything for families and kids in the greater Boston area. We'd love to hear from you with any questions or suggestions! — Tara

Number II of
I implore thee Jen
Listen to the call of my heart
And to th'appel of my tongue-
I beseech thee to listen while
My tender heart goes ding-dong.
There exists no fuller joy
Than when my arms enwrap thee.
There is no fuller bloom
Than when I listen to thee pipe.
I have watched thee play in the hay
And heard your songs whispered the breeze
Heard the birds play your name.
I have watched your very innocence while my heart
Blooms like a thousand daffodils in autumn's joys.
Before thee I genuflect, eyes watered
With the mist of my gleeful love.
My legs collapse before thee in wonder.
Lift me up, lift me up!
Am I no mortal? Am I not?
Why let me suffer this way?
Just give me back that strength I need
By those three words that fuel the Soul.

"The birth announcement was gorgeous. When I received cards I noticed 2 were damaged. It looked like a printing smudge. I called customer service. Even before I offered to take a picture of cards to show the error, customer service resolved issue by sending me replacements. Not only did they send replacement they sent extra cards. I will continue to rant and rave about how amazing your customer service is. I have received phone calls, emails n text messages from people telling me how beautiful our announcement is. Thank you!!!!!"
"This was my first time using Tinyprints and it was so easy! I loved that I could customize by card by changing the colors and emphasizing some words/information and not others. The only bummer is the difference in postage; but definitely worth it due to quality."
"I was looking for a card that was simple, classic, and showcased my sion's picture. This card did exactly that without being boring. The pale green coloring is gorgeous and really completed my picture that had a white background.I have received many complements on the card."
"Very happy with our results, paper is high quality and our photos look amazing. We used high resolution professional prints and they look fantastic. Lots of compliments on the design, would definitely recommend!"
"I couldn't be happier with this announcement! It is simple and classic in design. The card stock is very heavy and the photo quality is beautiful. Everyone has commented it's the prettiest announcement they have ever received. I would highly recommend this as the perfect choice!"

Toronto, ON
Interesting to look at the big picture and get a feel for what sort of economic world we will be navigating in 2014, take a look. An easy read the graphics are intuitive.
Lets start the last month of the year reflecting on the big picture for a moment.
Here is the deal:
The present:
The immediate horizon:
The immediate auto business:
We have been saying for a few years that CMS (Citizen Main Street) has been powering the Canadian economy, with many companies sitting on piles of money.
If the 2 largest purchases of a family are houses, and vehicles, house sales are booming in Canada, and vehicle sales are almost off the charts...in both instances its powered by OPM (Other People's Money) at extremely low rates.
At one point it was "Lets temporarily power up CMS with cheap OPM"...by now the rest is history...
The impact on contruction to build houses acquired with OPM
As housing takes off others sit on the sidelines "waiting"...waiting for what?
To bring it closer to home in the auto business...
Its a new reality in discovering the effects and impact of inexpensive OPM (Other People's Money) on CMS (Citizen Main Street) to temporarily power up the Canadian economy.
We urge you to connect your own dots for the last quarter of 2013 and 2014.
Good Morning!
Its Friday, its the Vroom Room come in make yourself comfortable, we have cappuccino and biscotti, join the conversation.
Last Saturday we went for a drive to Owen Sound to attend the Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance. We had not gone for a lenghty drive (over 2 hours) on surface roads in some time. Yes...Walter (E500) remains a fun car to drive on such roads, as well there is a country side peacefulness that is a contrast from the habitual crowded GTA roads.
On our return for a few kilometers there was a 1959 Cadillac following us. Revealing to see from the rear view mirror the side over hang, the narrow tires, and such a huge car. There a myriad reasons cars are safer today, less over hang, better tires are certainly a couple of components.
You must have noticed that numerous pundits are talking about the 5th anniversary of the "financial crisis" think about this...it was 5 years ago. At the time we shared our thoughts with New Reality, which still resonates today.
Fascinating this past Wednesday to see how the markets were behaving prior to, and past Ben Bernanke's (The Feds) announcement on wether they were going to "taper" or not. Even more interesting when everyone seemed to have the answer, and it was not the correct answer.
Its still CMS (Citizen Main Street) that is powering the Canadian economy...think about this for a moment.
Its still the Canadian taxpayer that is back stopping mortgages in Canada...think about this too.
Perhaps the lingering lesson from 5 years ago: "When folks get too creative with money in one fashion or another, it always takes a perilous / uncharted direction". Lets leave it at that for the moment...
In case you missed it, we also started "The Backstory" which we will continue, our first backstory was to get "Where is the Money" out of the vault, since it increasingly resonates, with most folks wondering where all the money has gone.
Keep an eye, it will be interesting, and fascinating to see how Sergio Marchionne deals with the Chrysler IPO, and VEBA, obvious the end result is to own Chrysler...lets see how Sergio plays this one out.
Our usual old race cars from the Goodwood Revival Tourist Trophy.
Are we still in a ranty mood? We might as well keep on going, and what do household numbers have to do with the auto business.
Back in 2008 we mentioned that we were entering a new reality for the auto industry, the auto business, as well as an economic new reality. As usual when a thought is a little too far ahead....yes we all know!
if you are getting the feeling that main stream media is on a mission to pound CMS (Citizen Main Street) to the ground you might be on the correct thought vector.
Our prescient comments from almost 2 years ago on the Canadian Economy and Consumer.
We have constantly repeated that CMS has been powering the Canadian economy, and obvious that at some point CMS was going to run out of credit facilities and/or arrive at a higher understanding than to continue powering the economy. In the meantime (4 years) has anyone else picked up the slack? Has anyone taken on additional risk, compared to CMS?
Some points:
For the auto industry, auto business:
For the economy:

Course No. FND 140A Credits: 1.5
Faculty Christina Cassara | Jimmy Kuehnle | Kevin Kautenburger | Richard Fiorelli | Scott Ligon
This one-half semester course is framed by the theme of Community and Collaboration. The students and instructor work collaboratively to define and explore "community" as local place and learning environment. They identify and activate connections among charette members and their specified community in order to develop a consensual creative response. Through sustained exploration of one theme, the Charette emphasizes the development of skills for critical and creative thinking, experiential learning, problem-solving, and collaboration. Through materials exploration, making processes, and critique, the Charette forges links with the visual, tactile and manual skill sets taught in other Foundation classes. Each student's effort, progress, and work will contribute to a collaborative project developed over 7 weeks, to include both a charette documentation log as well as a collaborative 2D, 3D, or 4D form. Offered fall.
CIA faculty members created an app that teaches sick children how to manage their pain.

Agriculture Investment
Population growth, increases in consumption per capita, and shifting consumption trends will put upward pressure on demand, making investing in agriculture an interesting proposition.
Carbon Investment
Since 2005 China has added the equivalent energy capacity of all power plants in Norway and Sweden. In the next 15 years it is expected to add total installed capacity of the US.
Clean Energy Investment
Renewable energy is just one part of the very large and lucrative energy investment area, which covers a diverse spectrum from clean technology to traditional fossil fuels.
Environmental Investment
Today the newspapers are filled with environmental stories - how the environment is impacting society, business and politics.
Ethical Investment
In our view 'ethically screened' funds have made a valid and serious contribution to corporate practices since their origin in the 1980s.
Forestry Investment
All of the world's population relies on forests in some way, for resources such as wood, medicines and shelter. As a result of this dependence, more than 200 million hectares of forests have been lost in the past 15 years.
Multi-thematic Investment
World markets are no longer broken up by geographical boundaries and as such managing money by theme rather than geography is a more logical approach to take and should add value to investors.
Water Investment
According to the UN, more than 1.1 billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water and 4 billion people do not have the sufficient infrastructure to access waste water treatment services.

Newsletter (Geography) Latitude Longitude
Check out five free reading, science cards to printout. This is considered Montessori Culture or traditional Environmental or Earth Science.
The earth is a sphere shape.
The earth is divided up into circles.
Circles measure where places are located on the earth.
Here are two types of method that use circles to measure the earth:
Longitude is used to measure positions of east and west.. A line of longitude is called a meridian and it is a straight line along the circumference of the earth from the north to south pole. Each meridian is the same length. The prime meridian travels through Greenwich, England. This is considered 0 degrees longitude.
To measure positions of north and south, latitude is used. A line of latitude is called a parallel and is parallel to the equator. Parallels vary in length. The longest parallel is at the equator and the shortest are at the poles. The equator has latitude zero. The north pole has latitude 90 degrees north and the south pole has latitude 90 degrees south.
Here are three part cards for longitude and latitude .
Degrees and Measuring Angles
A circle is divided into 360 parts. One of these 360 parts is called a degree . Each degree is divided into 60 minutes and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. Understanding how to read an analog clock makes this concept easier to understand.
Introducing Longitude and Latitude
To introduce longitude and latitude in a concrete way take a spherical balloon or ball and draw circles representing longitude and latitude on it. Use the three part cards as a pattern.
Coordinate Game
Here's a fun activity to practice coordinates
First start with this map and these cards . Match each card to the corresponding city on the map, note the longitude and latitude.
After students have mastered the map with labels use this map without labels . The student will have to use the coordinates and grid lines to match the label to the point.
Use this blank map and have the student mark the cities with a marker, pencil or push-pin. Use locations that spark your student's interest.

Great advice on teaching the basics of longitude and latitude. The problem is that a lot of kids will quickly get bored with this type of work... seems like a lot of memorization of where random places are that they can barely pronounce. The key to geography is changing those random names into real places that kids can visualize. For students who do better with visual learning, try having them match up pictures of the country or landmark along with it's location on the map. Another option is to have the kids identify various place and countries based on their own interests. Sport fans can track the location of local soccer teams around the world while music lovers can find and listen to song from different regions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks so much for your great ideas!

And if I just want you to stay, is it too much to ask?
Into his dreamworld, Frank slipped away silently without meaning to. A tingly feeling on his lips woke him up, he knocked heads with that Gerard kid from the previous night. Frank's sleeve wiped across his mouth, "What the hell?" followed closely behind. Gerard came to his knees and unleashed a never-ending wave of apologies. "I didn't mean to, you just looked so peaceful." "It's okay if you hate me." "I'm sorry, I'll leave."
It almost looked like Gerard was on the verge of breaking down right on the grass beside Frank. "It's obvious he doesn't like guys. He only called me beautiful to be nice..." Gerard convinced himself in his mind.
"No, it's not a mad 'what the hell'. It's more of a... 'you caught me off guard, so what the hell' kind of thing," Frank chuckled sheepishly. "My first kiss and I wasn't even conscience to feel it."
"I could... Do it again, if you'd like," Gerard stared at his knees while talking like an innocent little boy. It, too, had been his first kiss.
"If you want to..."
Gerard scooted closer to Frank, he batted his eyelashes cutely at his new favorite little friend. No one else in the park cared that two boys were "experimenting" in public, the only ones around were sleepy squirrels and possibly owls. First, Gerard leaned in close to Frank, close enough for Frank to make the kiss. His lips were tight and puckered up, but smooth and welcoming. Frank grabbed Gerard's hands and held them while he eagerly moved in, Gerard was amused at how much Frank was really enjoying this. He gripped Frank's hands so he could lean in to deepen the kiss, and although the kiss felt so short, it lasted longer than they could count for the time being.
"I have to go again, I'm terribly sorry Frank," Gerard licked his lips to savor the taste of the sleepy boy.
"Was it that bad?" Frank asked, feeling terribly hurt.
"No, hun, I loved it. But if I don't get home before curfew, I'll never get to see you again..."
Gerard lurched forward, getting to his knees, then back up on his feet. Frank did the same, quickly embracing Gerard before he had a chance to back away.
"Will you come back?" Frank released Gerard, then stared at him expectantly.
"Same place, same time?"
"I've got nowhere to go..."
"Come home with me."

TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
ST. LOUIS (January 30, 2013) – The St. Louis Cardinals and their development partner the Cordish Companies announced that they closed today on the financing for the construction of the $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village. While preliminary site work began today, the team announced that a formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Friday, February 8th at 11 am on the construction site. The $100 million first phase of Ballpark Village, which is anticipated to be completed by Opening Day 2014, will include the construction of 100,000 sq. feet of retail and entertainment space along Clark Street next to Busch Stadium.

Being sentient/functional at an old age and the fear of death within the individual (EDITED). Previously "How old is too old really?".
(EDIT: DISREGARD THE AGE FACTOR, THIS IS ABOUT BEING FUNCTIONAL AND HAVING A "LIFE" WORTH LIVING. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS) I'm not screaming, I'm just making sure that everyone gets it.
This question has been in my thoughts for quite some time now. I always wondered, at which point in a human being's life does he or she realizes that it's time to leave this plane of existence?
Say for example you reach 60, you're seasoned alright. Throughout your life, you performed very poor physical maintenance, you've been out of shape since forever and as a result you now suffer all types of diseases and physical illnesses. You're at a point where life, to you, consists of waking up and getting taken care of like a infant on daily basis. You're under many different types of medications, you can't perform any simple physical activity like walking and most of your needs must be tended to by someone else. Then suddenly, your condition gets worse and surgery is needed, or specialized help is needed in order to keep you alive.
Aside from your loved ones wanting to keep you alive, Isn't it selfish to put other people in tight financial situations just so you can almost mirror the life of a vegetable?

Apr 29 2013: Dear Jean,
I read your post and the conversation carefully. It appears that you asked a question (open ended) and then preferred to edit it to change the question, which you insist, has no connection with your original question. You didn't help the commenters by sharing specific information about your age, country of residence, social/family situations so I have reasons to believe you wished to keep your question academic and non-personal. In course of discussion, you informed you live in America and you are 21 years old. Apparently you have no physical condition that may make your life as unbearable.
I see many commenters trying to place their perspective, describe and relive their pains and suffering just to help you. And I also see that you are discarding many replies just because that is not something you are looking for. It appears to me you have the answer to your own question - all you are doing is seeking confirmation to it.
If I have understood this platform and most people here, it doesn't work here that way.
Apr 30 2013: This question was meant to be purely abstract, not really applied to a real world situation, which is why I layed a hypothetical scenario. I'm getting answers, but not to the question I formulated. I think I have to post it on physics or a psychology forum to get the answers I'm looking for, because those two subjects are were my question originated from really. I'm closing this one.

Posted by Jim_Daly Aug 17, 2011
Writing in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Shirley S. Wang reports:
Several recent studies have found that digital communications can lead to more or better friendships, online and off, greater honesty, faster intimacy in relationships and an increased sense of belonging, in addition to practical social benefits like an expanded circle for networking.
She continued:
… researchers found users expressed a significant amount of empathy online, and that the more time college students spent on Facebook, the more empathy they expressed online and in real life.
It would seem that Facebook and other social media outlets are providing students with a forum of discovery traditionally found within neighborhoods and the broader community. Here they're learning lessons and truths that were once primarily discovered at home, church, on the playground, inside the classroom or while playing Little League ball. Specifically, through Facebook, the younger generation is being reminded that the world is a big place, with many people and many problems. To put it simply, they are learning via texts, instant messages, status updates and posts of various stripes that life is not all about them.
On many levels, this strikes me as a good thing, but like with anything, a spirit of moderation seems in order. All the research in the world couldn't convince me that Trent and Troy should bury themselves online and avoid traditional personal contact with friends. Parents would also be wise to tread slowly regarding the fact that online communication produces "faster intimacy in a relationship." In a purely platonic sense this may be a good thing, but teenagers of the opposite sex are rarely satisfied with mere friendship, or at the very least, are naturally curious about sex and romance.
Not surprisingly, studies have found that shy students are more expressive online, where they feel less intimidated and more socially at ease. Again, a good thing, but even then, it is the wise parent who monitors and remains involved in their child's life, both online and off.
The article I quoted at the beginning asserts that social media helps kids become better friends, in addition to helping them understand human nature and become more sensitive to the needs of those within their social sphere. Do you agree?

There once was a man who decided to go scuba diving one day. So he went to the deepest part of the beach, got on his gear, and went underwater. He decides to go down 20 feet, and there he sees another guy with no equipment on. The man thought this was strange but we forgot about it and went down another 20 feet. There, he sees the same guy down there with no gear on. But the man decided to forget about it and go down another 20 feet. When he does, he sees the same guy 60 feet underwater with no gear on. Finally the man writes a note asking this guy how he can go so deep underwater without any gear. The guy writes back, ''Because I'm drowning, a**hole!''

O2 saunters into laptop market
Telefonica-owned brand O2 has launched into the subsidised-laptop market, and is giving away a couple of models of Samsung netbook mini-laptop with £30 and £40 contracts. The mini-laptops are nice enough: the Samsung NC10 and basic-comfiguration R510 are free if you sign up to pay 30 quid a month for 3GB of data, while a better- …
Hmm, dubious
O2's site is pretty light on the details, suspiciously so. My main worries:
- There is no mention of 3G ANYWHERE. No modem speeds mentioned of any kind.
- The allowance is quoted as '3GB'. Per... what? Term of contract (18 months)? Year? Month? Day? The latter is implied, in the quote '3GB is roughly enough to do the following each day:' - but somehow I suspect it is not.
Personally I'd be happy to sign up for one of their USB modem deals, £15 a month, but the lack of specifics makes me highly suspicious.
Bring back the laptot!
"NetBook is, of course, a term owned by Psion who have recently managed to get Google to recognise the trademark and refuse ads on that basis, while Psion has been alerting websites to avoid using the term - so we'll stick to mini-laptop."
Well we heard it here first... I hereby call for them to be renamed as laptots!
Re: Bring back the laptot!
Here here!
I thought we decided on this many moons ago?! I'd make a facebook group about this very thing, but unfortunately I start screaming and p***ing blood every time I go near the unholy device.
The NC10, on which this is written, is considered a SCC (Small Cheap Computer) to be honest at the £270 I paid it only just makes this true, however, at 24 x £30 or £720 it most certainly aint cheap.
Add on the 10GB allowance that makes it useable and you are paying out an awful lot of cash.
However if you need this, mobile broadband service, and are going to pay for it anyway then this becomes a free computer, fill your boots.
What happened to SCC?
or is that not relevant since they started making not-so-cheap and not-so-small SCCs?
Psion and on and on...
>"NetBook is, of course, a term owned by Psion who have recently managed to get Google to recognise the trademark ..."
Could it be that Potter & Co are planning a comeback tour?
Netbook is trademarked?
Even if that's true, Google stopped enforcing trademark protection in the UK last May, and in the US a couple of years ago. I just searched on "netbook" and saw a Dell ad, so I'm not sure where the Psion story comes from. I think laptot may have to wait a little longer for its day in the sun.
Re: Netbook is trademarked?
You can see Psion's letter on the subject posted here...
I'm liking "laptot" at the moment.

"Hueless" at Mallick Williams
Article originally written for Gallery Crawl
By: Simmy Swinder
Mallick Williams is currently hosting its fourth exhibition since its recent launch in November 2010. Spearheaded by Director Jeremy Kaplan, who used to work for Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles, "Hueless" draws together nineteen street artists of varying degrees of fame and popularity, from Curtis Kulig and D*Face to Lindsey de Ovies and Sam Ske.

Unlike many other gallery shows that strive to create a conceptual or visual link between one artwork and the next, or a retrospective exhibit that focuses on providing a range of works or one memorable work by a single artist, the works in "Hueless" are grouped by the lack of color. In addition to this shared trait, each piece is executed and presented in a well-polished, collection-ready manner. That is, though the artists are active street artists, the works in "Hueless" have an air of white-cube aspiration, and certainly placing them at Mallick Williams helps the cause. In fact, a mixed-media wall work by NTEL is reminiscent of collage work by Robert Rauschenberg or an Edward Kienholz assemblage while the photorealistic renditions by Dirk Dzimirsky and Lu Gold continue the tradition of documenting contemporary Americana paintings like those by Richard Phillips and Raplh Goings.
After numerous gallery shows showing art by street artists, the next logical step is moving those works into the ivory tower of the art world, the art museum. Jeffrey Deitch, a longtime supporter of the street art movement, has taken initiative through his still recent appointment at MOCA Los Angeles. Art on the Streets, curated by Aaron Rose, Roger Gastman and Fred Brathwaite finally gives those artists, and those aspiring to be like them, the legitimacy and historical presence they seek.

But this comes with a price. D*Face himself is quoted saying in a 2008 interview with Fecal Face, "…the more aware the public becomes of street art the less applicable it seems to be." No longer are their political messages about advertising, consumerism and the government the crux of their message, their names and fame are. This has led the art world—which has allowed street art to prosper commercially via gallery shows—to question whether it is possible to monetize and thus privatize an art object that was meant to be seen by the public, free of cost. Street artists also face this problem; they must walk a tightrope between integrity and profitability, between being recognized for their artistry and selling out. There is no right or wrong answer because there is no moral arbiter in the art world and thus everyone has the responsibility of keeping art, to some extent, sacred.
Other artists in "Hueless" include Distort, Erik Haze, Marissa Textor, Pete Watts, FAUST, Marco Zamora, Katsu, Nicholas Forker, Michael M. Koehler, Nathan Pickett, Russell Young and Skullphone.
"Hueless" at Mallick Williams & Co. runs through April 15th

KRISTEN: So the day of my birthday we're sitting in the living room and we hear a knock at the door, and he [Dax] says, "Your present's here, why don't you go grab the dogs and go in the back room." And I had no context for knowing what it was. But I grab the dogs, walk into the back room of the house, and I was immediately overcome and I thought there's a sloth here. There's a sloth here, it's close, it's gonna happen! And I didn't know how to process that because my entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact - I'm serious! - with a sloth. And I, first thing you should know about me: if I'm not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I'm crying. If it's too sad, if I'm too excited. Always. […] So I am sitting on my bed knowing that a sloth is here. I start to have a full-fledged panic attack. I don't know how to compete with all this emotion so I just kind of crawl up on the bed and I'm crying so hard and Dax knocks on the door and he has a video camera like, "SURPRISE! I want you to come out into the — are you alright?!" And sees me basically fetal on the bed.
ELLEN: I think you brought a little footage of that, I cannot wait to see it.

Teijin Escapes.
of the earlier accident, the zippers had been removed, and a new system,
called the "upside down technique" was to be tested.
With Teijin, this was done by having two load rings, held together with 4 webbing belts.
When the belt buckles belt were released, it left the basket + crew standing on the ground, while the released envelope climbed into the air, only connected by a rope connected to the crown of the balloon.
The theory is, that the tightening rope rolls the envelope rolls over, releasing the hot-air from the upturned mouth.
Teijin contained 4.5 tons of air. It never even started to roll over.
The 600lb rope simply snapped.
Teijin escaped. The enormous envelope, without the burner or the gondola, rose rapidly. It was chased on foot, then by motorbike, then by car, then finally in a hired aircraft. The radiant heat from the Sun kept it airborne and it was last seen 80 miles away at about 30,000 feet.
You also see here a small Dutch balloon, being collapsed successfully, using the "upside down" technique.
|Wait -A slide show should start
|The Aerostat
Society was apparently finished, as no further news of the balloon came
in. The society had no balloon, and was in debt.
Two months later, a commercial aircraft pilot spotted what seemed to be a parachute in thick forest near Taralga. A bulldozer was needed and the envelope was recovered. Damage was minor, although ultraviolet light would have weakened the fabric.
The "upside down" technique proving unsuccessful, the "chimney technique" was adopted. So Teijin was modified yet again. An open tube, a chimney, was fitted, to rapidly but safely deflate the balloon. The chimney was tied shut with a loop of rope, linked to a release pin. The pin was released by pulling a line.The effect is shown here, during a test at Sydney University.

Private Tour: 2CV Secret Paris Tour
- Choice of several departures throughout the day
- Get inside tips from a local
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
- Private tour is operated with just your party and a guide/driver
Introduced in the mid-1940s, the economical Citroen 2CV cars quickly became a popular sight on French roads. The cars' design has changed a lot over the past few decades, but the original models are still held in fond regard. Your tour takes place in one of these much-loved originals – a vintage convertible 2CV.
Avoiding the well-trodden sites of the city center, your tour focuses on the city's hidden gems. Discover the chic delights of Place Vendôme, the elegant square lined with boutiques, jewelers and ritzy hotels. Swing past Kiosque des Noctambules, a contemporary piece of street art by French artist Jean-Michel Othniel, and then stop for photos by Stravinsky Fountain. The water feature is embellished with colorful sculptures that are said to represent running water.
Visit the neighborhood of Le Marais to see Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine, a peaceful square, and learn about the area's buskers and artists from your guide. Other notable attractions around Le Marais include Hôtel de Sully and Hôtel de Sens, two lavish private mansions.
After 1.5 hours exploring the city, finish your 2CV tour with a drop-off near Opera Garnier or at your central Paris hotel.
Please note: 2CVs are small compared to modern vehicles, so with comfort in mind, bookings are only accepted for three people per car, with one driver assigned per trio. Should your group be larger, no worries! Up to nine people can book this private tour, and each group of three ride in a separate car while traveling together in a convoy.

He asked us where we'd like to be dropped off when the tour was finished. We thought that was a great touch! Thoroughly recommend doing this tour!!! The Citroen 2CV is a querky touch too!

Ashes to ashes
Central Whidbey firefighters break apart a charred deck at a trailer park off SW Terry Road in Coupeville. Fire Chief Ed Hartin said residents were barbecuing on the deck and the small fire was likely caused by ashes. It was extremely windy at the time but fortunately the fire did not spread. No one was injured and the mobile home was unscathed.

Dear Pharmacist: I'm taking a prescription drug version of fish oils for my heart and cholesterol. I want a plant-derived option because I'm a vegetarian, plus I get "fish burp." Are there plant-derived essential fatty acids, or do you have to get it from fish? — H.B., Plano, Texas
Answer: Fish burp often happens if you have a deficiency of probiotics and digestive enzymes, however people assume the burp happens from rancid oil. Fish oils aren't usually rancid nowadays. They are the gold standard supplement for people seeking essential fatty acids.

Blood in dreams is rarely a well-received image, unless it is connected with an anger object. The blood of another in this case may reflect seeing oneself as ultimately victorious. Most times, blood represents depletion, injury, or death. This depletion may be physical, or it may reflect the loss of other essential resources, including emotional or financial assets.
Blood can have a kind of direct meaning as "life source." In this regard, blood may be seen as a metaphor for becoming one with another person-this type of feeling is conjured from our exposure to Native American "blood brother" images.
Blood also may serve as a sacrificial metaphor-as in the sacrificial lamb or other animal. It also may have occult implications for persons involved with such practices.
Draining, drinking, or drawing and/or writing with blood are practices of this nature. Many genres of cult literature often include this type of reference. Whose blood are you seeing in your dream? Can you discern who caused the bleeding? Is the presence of blood accompanied by a feeling of threat?

Guys, I have no shame. That being said: I joined a dating website last night, okcupid. On an unrelated note, THIS IS WHY I SHOULD NEVER EVER JOIN A DATING WEBSITE. Here's the message I sent to somebody:
Hey. You sound cool. I just joined this website last night, so I really have no idea what I'm doing lol. The good news is that the robot cupid thing is telling me we have a 90% match, which is very fortunate, considering I often seek advice from robot cupids, and besides being very wise, robot cupids are profoundly gifted at archery. In fact, a robot cupid was supposed to play the role of Hawkeye in the Avengers movie, but it developed an addiction for whiskey instead. It often starting drinking before 11am, and often ended at 1pm, where it would then vomit, sleep, shit, and then wake up at 3pm, staring the whole process over again. When asked why it would throw its career away, the robot cupid looked into the camera, burped, and triumphantly declared that "love was bullshit."
Anyway, my name is Bryan. Suuuuuuuuup.

What a brilliant book. No, he doesn't string words together as well as Cormac McCarthy does, but he's better at both dialogue and plot progression. I mean, it got the Pulitzer for a reason. The novel is about a thousand pages, but yet—you never feel as if you're reading a "long" book. The characters are charming, especially Gus. The action is spectacular, especially the chase with Blue Duck. My only gripe with the novel is that the female characters and the native americans aren't as developed as I'd like them to be. We really aren't exposed to any strong females until the third act. However, admittedly, he does redeem Lorie's story arc a bit when she finally strikes out away from the boys. Also, McMurtry too often characterizes the native american characters as violent, terrifying badasses (which, while cool in its own way, only perpetuates stereotypes). But, as a quest narrative, THIS BOOK WILL KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. LIKE, BY THE END OF THE NOVEL, YOU'LL WANT TO GO TO THE CATTLE STORE AND BUY A SHIT TON OF CATTLE. AND THEN GO ON AN ADVENTURE.
Spending four minutes in the bathroom at a coffee shop is reason enough to alert the baristas that a "homeless person is taking a shower in your bathroom." Yup, I def just got mistaken for a homeless person. Taking a shower. ROCK ON.

Sitting Atop the Conference
Tony Stabile | Oct 22, 2010 | Comments 9
Not since the 2001-2002 season, have the Islanders started a season like this. Gaining points in 6 of the team's first 7 games has the Islanders in first place in the Eastern Conference and the surprising part is, they're doing it without their top defenseman and top all around forward.
Last night the Islanders played without number one defenseman Mark Streit, forwards Kyle Okposo, Rob Schremp and Josh Bailey and then lost stalwart Andrew MacDonald midway through the second period with a hand injury. With all of that, the team was still able to finish off the Tampa Bay Lightning and earn back to back wins on the road. The reason?…it's simple, the defense. The defense, though unspectacular, has been rock solid in front of hot goalie tandem Rick DiPietro and Dwayne Roloson. They have allotted the offense to relax and do their thing, and they have responded with much better 3rd periods, which in turn has resulted in wins, and not last minute collapses, which is what we saw last year. New comers Mike Mottau, James Wisniewski and Milan Jurcina have been a huge upgrade and coupled with the return of Radek Martinek, have given the Islanders some experience and grit on the backline.
Now, offensively, the Islanders have some kids who can put the puck in the net. You have to be impressed with young forwards Michael Grabner and Nino Niederreiter, as are both responsible enough to be on the ice late in a close game, and have the potential to put the puck in the net. Having Weight center them is a fantastic idea, and has paid off as both have scored off Weight passes in the past week. John Tavares looks like he's added a slap shot to his arsenal of weapons as he scored the game winner in Toronto off a wicked one timer and blasted a few shots on Dan Ellis last night. The more I watch Tavares, the more I think he's going to have a very good season. He's just more relentless on the puck, doesn't seem to be falling down as much as last year, and as we all know, his offensive skills are outstanding.
All in all, this team has surprised some, and with DiPietro healthy, the December return of Kyle Okposo and an All Star Break return for Mark Streit could be all this team needs to find itself back in the playoff hunt come March 1st.
Isles Notes
I didn't like how MacDonald went off the ice and I'm afraid he broke his hand or wrist. MacDonald is extremely solid and would be a huge loss if he misses significant time. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
Anyone notice Wisniewski has 6 points in 5 games and they are all on the Power Play?
I love Blake Comeau, but that boy needs to hit more. If he throws his body around the way he did Opening Night, he'd be a force in this league. He had 6 hits in his first 2 games (against Dallas and the Rangers), and has had 3 hits since.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the new white uniforms???
Rick Rypien = Bad decision (6 games per TSN's Bob McKenzie)
Random movie note….Jackass 3D, hysterical…only wanted to puke like 3 times (and yes that's a good thing).
Can anyone imagine how good defensively this team will be once Mark Streit comes back?
Michael Grabner is like a cheetah on skates….takes huge strides.
Vinny Lecavalier is not the same player he was 2 years ago.
Random TV note….Detroit 187 may be the best police show since NYPD Blue.
Isles back on the ice Sat in Fort Lauderdale….enjoy the weekend!

Biggest difference in the Isles this season over last is on faceoffs, don't underestimate the importance of winning most of your faceoffs and one of the biggest reasons for that is Konopka. Once again I'm going to take issue with you on Okposo you would think he played like Gretzky last year the way some people are talking about "wait until he comes back". Right now they are just fine without him, without his -22, without his razzle dazzle on the perimeter, without him on the PK which was terrible last season, and without him not sticking up for a teammate when they take a cheap shot right in front of his face. Did you happen to notice Bailey's reaction in Pitt this season compared to Okposo's last season. Big difference. So let's calm down with the "wait until Okposo's gets back". Here's a random TV note from me any reason why MSG can't show the Isles in HD on their MSG Varsity channel (ch 14) which is now in HD and it's a MSG channel so they control what is on that channel. They can't preempt HS girls Volleyball for a NHL game? Any reason why MSG can't show the Isles in HD on LI and the Devils in HD in NJ? The picture on their overflow channel sucks. A comment on your random TV note best TV cop show since NYPD was "The Wire" without a doubt most realistic and it was not the PC crap that all the other cop shows are. Always enjoy your comments Stabile agree with some disagree with others keep up the good work.
You are ridiculous with your relentless, KO bashing, give it a rest…he kids only had 2 full seasons and everyone but you feels hes the real deal…If he doesn't stick up for his teammates thats another story…I believe he will…I agree he should stand up more but his relentless play is unbelievable but you're attitude towards the kid is getting old…
It's not bashing it's fact Rob I see you can't handle the truth. Actually Rob there are fans out there that feel he is overrated by some in this fan base maybe like me they have been watching hockey since the mid 70′s and are not suckered by all his razzle dazzle which leads to nothing like you are. You predict he will stick up for his teammates well he hasn't so far and age has nothing to do with it it should come naturally for players a lot younger than him.
He has tons of ability and he is relentless when hes on the ice…Okposo has allot to offer…I did see Bailey stick up for his teammates the other night and I was equally impressed so we are in agreement, standing up for your teammates is very important and I think KO will…Im giving this kid the benefit of the doubt because I haven't seen a player like KO on this team in a long time and he is fun to watch…He can be a difference maker…Give him a break already..If the one knock you have on him is he needs to fight sometimes than thats fine and good…Its just that you act like hes a bum…
Comrie used to toe drag all the time and get hammered by the fans but when Okposo does it it's fine. Him not fighting is not the big problem him not willing to crash the net and battle to score and get his hands dirty in front is the big problem. If he thinks he's going to stick handle by and fake out NHL players on a regular basis to score his goals he is sadly mistaken. He's got plenty of size he does not use it to his advantage. Bailey just put on size for this season and he is using it to his advantage. If Okposo can accept accolades from the fans he has to also accept criticism. This team is 4-1-2 right now not 0-7 so I don't get all the talk of "wait until KO gets back".
You know what, man???I agree with you…I was wondering if the fact that he doesn't crash the net, esp on the pp, is because of the coach???I don't think he belongs at the point on the PP…He would be better served, playing down low, on the wing…Believe it or not I agree with allot of what you are criticizing him about but he has the "IT" factor and I believe KO is the real deal and can be a force…I think I'm right and I hope he can become that kind of player…Hes still young and all players are different when it comes to their learning curves, regarding what it takes to score at the highest level…Look at Bailey, hes gone from a guy getting pushed around to the guy doing the pushing around…I hope the coach starts demanding more from KO wghen it comes to crashing the net…
Okposo was bigger and stronger than Bailey from the get go so Bailey had reasons why he wasn't good with the physical play but in the off season he bulked up and now he is much better with the physical play but Okposo has had the size all along and CHOOSES not to get involved in front in my opinion. If he isn't willing to battle down low I don't see him ever getting to 30 goals, we'll see when he comes back if he plays a more aggressive style, for his sake I hope so. BTW Rob I've been saying this since last season.
Kyle put up 52 points in just his 2nd "full" NHL season…Bailey is finally showing what he may be capable of in the beginning of his 3rd NHL season…I think it's plenty fair to assume that the best of both of them lays ahead. Kyle has already had 2 pretty decent seasons and would be considered a better player than Bailey, and Comeau too for that matter, before this season started. I think it is pretty reasonable to expect Okposo to have started this year just as well as Bailey and Comeau, if not better. Taking a look at the team we currently have you can't possibly believe he isn't one of the top 2 right wingers on the roster.
After spending 5 year in the Air Force I can honestly say this is the best Country ever. I am grateful for the opportunity to protect our nation.

Wonder What My Posters Are Thinkin'1 Reviews
I'll tell you what my posters probably think of my really scary faces I make while lip syncing to my fave songs,plus a little question for this sad excuse of a fangirl..
Let's begin this chapter then.
So,as you all know,I love to sing along with my headphones as loud as i can.Sorry neighbours if i scare you.
Now,every morning,I lip sync cuz my parents are in bed.
But,let's go the the thoughts of all my posters and see what they probably think of how i look when i lip sync along to other songs,and their songs.
Kellin Quinn:(when other songs are on) OH MY GOD SADIE STAPH.
Kellin Quinn:(when the song he is in is on):WOO KEEP ON GOING SADIE / HEY YOU LOOK BETTER THAN ME HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE.
Hee hee.
Well,in my Kerrang! poster of Kellin,he has his hands on his head,so i assume he isn't happy with my lip syncs,but dude it's my room so i can do whatever the fuck i wanna do!
Next poster.
F.O.B(when other songs are on):SADIE SHUT UP WE HAVE WATER GUNS FFS.
F.O.B(when their song is on):WOOO! KEEP GOING DON'T STOP OR WE WILL SHOOT YOU WITH THIS WATER GUN!
How can Fall Out Boy shoot me with a water gun.
Next poster.
Correction:Black Veil Brides wouldn't be creeped out by my horrible lip syncing,they just look badass.
Next posters.
My Chem Posters:(when other songs are on):Sadie.Stop it.You're creeping out everyone.
My Chem posters:(when their songs are on):Sadie.Still stop.Please.You're good at the lip sync just don't make the faces.
Yeah,my MCR posters have been in my room longer than my other posters,so they are used to it,but not my other posters.
Now,for my question.
You know when fangirls say "oh my god he's so hot my ovaries just exploded!".
Do they actually explode,cuz wouldn't it hurt though?
Or is it just a way of saying that band member/the band themself is hot as fuck?
Yeah,I'm a sucky fangirl.
You know on the Dan and Phil radio show when they accept music video's to songs made by us and play the actual song? I'm talking to Missy cuz she,along with me,is the only UK person on Ficwad who listens to the show.
Well,I made a music video to Welcome To The Black Parade,and EMAILED IT TO LE DAN AND LE PHIL.
I told them my name and all that jazz,and also explained why i had to have a different song instead of the one i wanted.
You see,my Windows Movie Maker is old as fuck,and only lets me choose out of 3 songs.
I wanted The Kids From Yesterday,but Movie Maker told me the message saying 'Audio Not Found' or something like that.So,I had to choose WTTBP,which never fitted with the title of the music vid WHATSOEVER.
I'll tell you my video.It's MCR through ALL the eras.From Bullets to Danger Days.I put on the starter pic for each era,the name of the album and the year it came out.I wanted The Kids From Yesterday to basically say MCR are the kids from yesterday,today.
Hmm..I'm bored what to do now..
I'll tweet a little more,then play Sims 3 Pets on my Gerard and Me file.
Have an awesome day (at school some of you).
I'll be waiting for ya when you get back,we have loads to talk about.
xx Cupcake. (passes you a Cupcake,so it fits with my name)

This is mostly me babbling about some thoughts going through my head, a little thought processing, so if that isn't interesting to you, you don't need to read this. Things are happening/not happening and I need to make better sense of it. Or at least I should. I mostly just really feel like taking a nap and ignoring everything.
1. I started a little project to get myself drawing on a regular basis, which lasted a grand total of a week. Then I got some bad news about something I was looking forward to and did my typical hide from the world bit. But hey, one week's worth of something. Woo. I guess. Maybe I'll get back to it. Renee Draws Hands
2. It's summer, there's drama with the new neighbors (well, particularly their fix-it guy, as he seems to be less than honest), and there's issues with trying to get use of the boats, and my mom is very depressed about all of it. Because, let's face it, anything to do with the boathouse (that the new neighbors own), the boats, and the lake also has to do with memories of her dad and it's only been a year and a half (or so) now. I wish I could make things better but what can I do? And yeah, very first world problems.
3. I've been noticing getting faves from what appears to be spambots and when I check the notes on a post nothing shows up. So I guess spambots really like my work? Eh. It's odd, but I'm going to pretend that a fave is a fave and find it entertaining.
4. I had a setback with trying to find a place. Finding a place to rent is near impossible - everthing gets snapped up fairly quickly. It seems that there are houses in the area being sold for impossibly low prices, so I might go that route. Of course, this also means some boring stuff that I won't talk about here. I'm trying to get more hours at work and my mom thinks I should get a second job. I really don't want a second job.
5. My mom found a letter from a friend in middle school to me when I was overseas in high school. It's surreal, because I don't remember a thing about it. I don't remember the letter, or anything it is referring to, or anyone it mentions, aside from the person who wrote it. It's also oddly religious, considering the person who sent it wasn't.
6. Right now I'm helping my mom go through her jewelry. Which is the most ridiculous thing, because I am absolutely crap for that sort of stuff. My sister should be the one helping her. Oh well. It's fun to look at the stuff but I don't have any good answers for what to keep. I'm too much of a hoarder anyway.
I can't think of anything else. I should probably start looking at other people's stuff and replying and etc. And clean my room. I could always be cleaning my room more often.

So come on then...
What do we all think makes a website really useable?
Heres what I reckon:
- Easy access to core areas of the site (pref at top of page)
- Main logo as a link to the homepage
- Alt text for when I have graphics turned off, and for those who require it, i.e. blind persons
- Local links to related pages
- CONTACT infomation (I hate websites that don't make it easy for you to contact a real person somehow!)
- Nothing to fancy, quick and easy to use
- nice design, colours that don't hurt my eyes!
Prolly a common question, but I am interested in what ya all think.
BTW I ain't using your comments to design a site - I already have a layout done (after about 3 months!), just interested.

Hung out with them the rest of the day. Nice chilling with them. Went out to dinner to Sweet Tomatoes. Madison kept getting called by a mexican guy who thought she was a black girl (she sent a picture of her friend to him) Why he had her number, I dont know. It was getting annoying so her sister answered the phone as Shelby, with a lisp. So funny. "Hello. This is Thelby. Mmmmm mmm. Ohhhhh. You have a thexy voice. Thay your name. Thay it. Ohhhh ohhh. mmm. Yeeth. Oh." I was cracking up.
Over all = Good day.
YAY, w00t. She looks adorable.
Haha. Finally. She has been going back and forth on one since fall of freshmen year.
