About the artists:
Justin McCarthy (1891-1977) struggled early in his life before gaining recognition in the art world. After failing law school, he was briefly hospitalized in a mental institution from 1915 to 1920, where he began drawing. In 1960, he was discovered by Dorothy Strauser at an art show in Stroudsburg. McCarthy was known to paint anything that interested him, including movie stars, politicians, historical events, animals, automobiles and more. His work is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Folk Art and many other galleries and collections.
Robert A. Rasely II, born in East Stroudsburg, was a Stroudsburg High School Class of 1968 graduate. He was trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, studied abroad in Italy and the Netherlands, and was known as a magic-realist and surrealist. His work has been exhibited in major galleries from New York to San Francisco, including the National Academy of Design.
John "Jack" Savitsky (1910-1991) was a coal miner by trade, but after the mine he worked in closed, he began to pursue a career in the folk art world. Much of his work depicted coal mining scenes, biblically-inspired imagery, animals and more. Savitsky was recognized and promoted by Sterling Strauser. Today his work is part of many well-known collections including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of American Art and the Museum of Folk Art in New York City.
Sterling B. Strauser (1907-1995) was born in Bloomsburg and moved to East Stroudsburg in 1928, where he lived for the rest of his life. He was a self-taught artist who was well-known for his signature florals, figures and local scenes. Strauser and his wife, Dorothy, who was also an artist, were not only avid collectors of local art, but often promoted other local artists above their own artwork. Sterling's artwork hangs in many museums and galleries including the Allentown Art Museum, Lehigh University, the Maier Museum of Art and Monroe County Historical Association.
"Outsider" begins with a public viewing at 10 a.m., a private viewing and dinner at 5:30 p.m., a historical presentation by noted art professional James Sittig following the dinner and the auction at 9 p.m.
Amy Leiser, executive director of Monroe County Historical Association, explained that the title refers to the social connection among the quartet of artists.
"They were kind of in their own little circle. They were not really professionally trained. The previous two years we did shows of Cullen Yates, and we wanted to go in a new direction. Sterling had a circle of friends that he supported, so we decided to do them as well. Strauser really promoted Savitsky and McCarthy more than himself, which was interesting. That's why they were included in the show," Leiser said.
The show includes works by the four artists on loan from many local individuals, some of whom knew Strauser and the others quite well. Al Koster was one person who relished Strauser's company and was encouraged by a man he called "a good listener."
"He was a very generous person and very likable. He listened to people's experience in art or in anything. I enjoyed the time I spent at his home discussing his work or art in general. He liked to swap, to trade with other artists. I'm not an artist, I'm a photographer for postcards and brochures, and he was interested in looking at my postcards. He swapped my postcards and he gave me paintings," Koster said.
Koster got his first Strauser in the 1960s and his last shortly before Strauser's death in 1995. True to form, Strauser expressed keen interest in the figure drawings Koster had done after his service in Korea, while he studied briefly at the Pratt Institute, and wound up giving some of his art to Koster in exchange.
Leiser explained that the show has several facets: local art enthusiasts like Koster donate art for display, some local artists have donated art to be auctioned, and there will be other donated items up for bids as well.
Koster talked about the three pieces he will loan: one a vertical study in blue from the '60s, another later piece called "Bowl of Fruit" and a piece done in the '90s entitled "Giraffe." All three were done on Masonite — Strauser's preferred medium — but show a great deal of variety in color and composition, ranging from semi-realistic to abstract.
Perhaps the most endearing aspect of Strauser was his interest in other's opinions. "Someone liked one painting, but he didn't like the one section of it. So Sterling took it into the backyard, sawed it in half and gave the man the half he liked," Koster said.
But what business does an historical society have with art? Leiser explained it all.
"It's the art and the history of the art. With Strauser, so many people have stories about him. Koster agreed that Strauser's interest in almost everybody translates into a body of art that details the life and times of the Poconos in the days before Route 80," she said.
"One of the paintings he did was the fire at the Central Hotel in East Stroudsburg. That will be on display, a local historical happening that he documented through his art. I really value that and feel fortunate to have known him," Koster said.

I am trying to purchase the "send to" app but looks like it is not available in the App Store.
Is there any alternative way to purchase it?
Luca Nestola says:
Ah no, I found a free download link on a website. Thought it was legal and that probably the app is simply a freeware now, that's why it is no longer available in the App Store.
So I downloaded it, but it keeps on crashing.
The thing is: I am ready to purchase it, but I simply can't find a way to get it!

How I can buy the application?

Alejandro & Luca – it's now available for free in all regions (see the link in the post). I've made a few updates, so hopefully it'll stop crashing for you, but I'm not really able to support it anymore.

Subject: Re: DSL (was shopping for NOCs)
Doesn't this have more to do with the philosophy of the company
providing service than the technology being deployed (DSL)?
Maybe the problem is that DSL tends to involve LEC people who are
infected with the obsolete lazy-monopoly attitude of the incumbents.
Hey! I used to work for a LEC in the Frozen East!
I take absolutely no offense to the above comment :-) !
In any case, are there unique operational challenges posed by DSL that
are causing some of these problems? Is there anything we can do as a
community to address them (or encourage the people who need to address
them, to do so)?
Maybe this discussion could evolve into something a little more useful
than "my DSL provider sucks"..."me too", since there seems to be a lot
of interest (or at least a lot of unhappy voices)..

Check your Utah school: Round 2 of assessments released
Mountain High students were incredulous to learn that their school got an "F" when Utah school grades came out in early September.
"That's so crazy," said one teen in a double-hour English class last week, echoing the sentiments of educators and students up and down the state.
But perhaps no one was more pointed in her criticism of the Utah Legislature's new grading system than Mountain High Principal Kathleen Chronister.
"It kind of feels like a kick in the face," says Chronister, whose 244 students struggle with issues that include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder and addiction. Thirty-five students are parents; 17 percent are homeless.
Results were released Monday from Utah's other school assessment program, the Utah Comprehensive Accountability System (UCAS), which takes into account at least some of the unique challenges in alternative schools. The scores for 18 alternative schools won't be released until next week.
Parents and others can go to 1.usa.gov/1eVsxjm and search for a school's name, then choose to see its UCAS score or the grade released earlier this month.
Teens turn to alternative high schools such as Mountain High in Kaysville when they can't succeed in traditional schools. Alternative schools earned nine of the 16 F grades assigned to high schools, even though traditional high schools outnumber them by 3 to 1.
Lawmakers said they wanted grades assigned to schools so parents could see, at a glance, how their schools perform.
UCAS was developed by the Utah Office of Education in response to an earlier legislative mandate. It also is the federally approved accountability system under the No Child Left Behind law, replacing Annual Yearly Progress.
Both accountability systems depend on the same set of data: scores on Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) that Utah students take from third grade on. Both also consider high school graduation rates.
They differ in the weight given to improvements, with UCAS giving credit for even incremental gains and school grades crediting only the greatest gains.
School grades do not distinguish alternative from traditional schools.
UCAS was supposed to assign letter grades to each school this year, but the Utah Board of Education backed away from that when the Legislature adopted school grades.
Chronister, in a letter to Sen. President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said that the school grading system by its "very nature is designed to sort and select schools to ensure failure by some."
"My students then must surely be failures as well," Chronister wrote. "Believe me, they've all been told at some point in their lives that they are failures."
Samantha Paskett, 17, of Layton, said acute anxiety and depression dogged her when she attended Layton's 1,850-student Northridge High. She often skipped school. "I hated, hated it," she said.
Her symptoms fell dramatically when she moved to Mountain High, where she is surrounded by students with their own troubles and teachers who, she says, "care."
Now she's on track to graduate in the spring and hopes to attend Salt Lake Community College and eventually, Dixie State University. She wants to study music production.
Austin Talbert, 17, says the school changed his life after he transferred from Viewmont High in Bountiful. He now has dreams of becoming a nurse anesthetist.
"I have hopes for college now," he said. "That never would have been the case before."
Chronister said that although three-quarters of her students are two years behind in credits when they arrive, they double down on their work. Each year, Mountain High graduates roughly 100 students, many of whom would have dropped out of school.
"Hold us accountable for our mission," said Chronister.
Niederhauser acknowledged the blowback from Chronister and other educators and said the school grades legislation may need to be tweaked because the way it was interpreted by the Utah Office of Education resulted in a bell curve requiring some schools to fail.
"Grades weren't intended to give a scarlet letter to anybody," he said. "My involvement has always been about bringing some very simple clarity … so we could identify where we need to make adjustments."
The Legislature, he predicted, will discuss whether alternative high schools should be treated differently. "That's a discussion I'd like to have."

A late-night knock at the door turned into a home invasion robbery for a southeast Salt Lake City woman.
Salt Lake City police Det. Rick Wall said Monday that officers were still investigating the break-in, which occurred just before 1 a.m. Sunday, near 3000 South and 900 East.

That was when one suspect, a white male, knocked on the door. When the female resident answered, the suspect produced a hand gun and forced his way inside, accompanied by a second male. No better descriptions of the two were immediately available.
The pair tied the woman's hands behind her back and ransacked the home, making off with several unspecified items.
The woman was not otherwise harmed.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call police at 801-799-3000.

They have shown this before but this is going to be a significant moment for the film. This is the first time we have truly seen Superman going himself up and not the accepted hero we all have been custom to. This isn't the first movie to show repeated pictures of an important moment in a film. But I do hope they show some brand new images and footage soon.

This isn't smart marketing. This moment seems to be a centerpiece of MOS, and the studio has hit us over the head with it. Look at the responses below as a very small sample. People are tired of it already. WB should remove any marketing that includes this all- important scene before the moviegoing audience at large stops caring about it before MOS is even released.

The Quiet Family, Kim Ji-woon's first movie, remains his most satisfying. A Tale of Two Sisters is more polished but overreaches, and A Bittersweet Life is a sub-Scarface patience marathon.
The Good The Bad The Weird is as scattershot as his second and third movies, but is well-staged, handsomely designed fun that never threatens to take itself seriously.
Korea's 2008 box office champ, it packs invention, nerve, and spectacle not seen in its Hollywood counterparts.
As with Sergio Leone's classic oater, three outlaws attempt to out-sly each other during a cross-country pursuit for fabled booty.
First coming together in an audacious opening train robbery turned full-on gang war, the bandits' paths intertwine throughout the event-filled two plus hour running time.
The Good (Jung) is a straitlaced bounty hunter, The Bad (Lee) a venal psycho with pin-up good looks, and The Weird (The Host's Song) an opportunistic thief.
When not attempting to prevent each other reaching the loot first, they also have to contend with a bandit coalition and the occupying Japanese forces.
Although wry barbs are made about Japan's inglorious past, director and co-writer Kim plays the film light and closer in tone to Kung-Fu Hustle than The Bridge on the River Kwai.
A wirework heavy shoot-out through the scaffolding of a shanty town would be a contender for Best Action Scene of the Year, if it was not trumped by a climactic race across the desert plains involving what appears to be every Asian stuntman working today.
Bottling the spirit and excitement of Indiana Jones in a way The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull couldn't, this full-throttle sequence is heart-stopping enough to make you forgive the ever-so-slightly unsatisfying Mexican stand-off finale.
And audiences bemoaning the brazen stealing from Leone, don't forget that Sergio owes his career to Eastern cinema: Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo was lifted virtually scene-for-scene in A Fistful of Dollars.

Local archive of WordPress posts
January 14th, 2013 at 11:50 pm by Dr. Drang
I wouldn't be surprised to find myself jumping on the baked blog bandwagon. Everybody's doing it. If I do, the first thing I'll need is a collection of all my previous posts, downloaded to my local machine and saved in a directory structure that matches the URL structure WordPress has been presenting to the outside world. This evening, I did just that.
There were two main reasons it went so quickly and so smoothly:
- My posts have always been saved as Markdown on the server, so I didn't have to go through the pain that Gabe went through when he converted from WordPress to Pelican last year. When ANIAT was served by Blosxom, the Markdown was saved in files on the server and was converted to HTML on the fly by a CGI script. When it was served by Movable Type, the Markdown was saved in a database on the server and converted into static HTML pages. Currently, the Markdown is saved in a database on the server and converted to HTML on the fly by WordPress's PHP engine (and the first time a page is accessed, it's cached as a static file in some compressed format).
- I'd already written a script,
get-post, that got the saved content of a post from the server through the XML-RPC MetaWeblog API. All I needed to do was extend it to collect a set of posts and to save each one in the appropriate directory.
The semi-new script that does the collection and saving is called
save-posts. It's run this way:
save-posts 1 1000
This command downloads each post from 1 to 1000 in turn and saves them in a folder with a name like
all-this/source/2013/01 in my Dropbox folder. Within each month folder, the individual Markdown source files are saved with names like
geofencing-in-flickr.md, where the basename is slug of the post as it was created and served by WordPress. This hierarchy and naming scheme will ensure that the individual posts created by the static blog will have the same URLs as their WP counterparts—old links should continue to work.
Here's the Python source of
1: #!/usr/bin/python
3: import xmlrpclib
4: import sys
5: import os
6: from datetime import datetime
7: import pytz
8: import re
10: # Blog parameters (url, user, pw) are stored in ~/.blogrc.
11: # One parameter per line, with name and value separated by colon-space.
12: p = {}
13: with open(os.environ['HOME'] + '/.blogrc') as bloginfo:
14: for line in bloginfo:
15: k, v = line.split(': ')
16: p[k] = v.strip()
18: # The header fields and their metaWeblog synonyms.
19: hFields = [ 'Title', 'Keywords', 'Date', 'Post',
20: 'Slug', 'Link', 'Status', 'Comments' ]
21: wpFields = [ 'title', 'mt_keywords', 'date_created_gmt', 'postid',
22: 'wp_slug', 'link', 'post_status', 'mt_allow_comments' ]
23: h2wp = dict(zip(hFields, wpFields))
25: # Regex for the path to save the post in from the slug.
26: pathRE = re.compile(r'(/\d\d\d\d/\d\d/).+/$')
28: # Get the post ID from the command line.
29: try:
30: startID = int(sys.argv[1])
31: endID = int(sys.argv[2])
32: except:
33: sys.exit()
35: # Time zones. WP is trustworthy only in UTC.
36: utc = pytz.utc
37: myTZ = pytz.timezone('US/Central')
39: # Connect.
40: blog = xmlrpclib.Server(p['url'])
42: # The posts in header/body format.
43: for i in range(startID, endID + 1):
44: try:
45: post = blog.metaWeblog.getPost(i, p['user'], p['pw'])
46: header = ''
47: for f in hFields:
48: if f == 'Date':
49: # Change the date from UTC to local and from DateTime to string.
50: dt = datetime.strptime(post[h2wp[f]].value, "%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S")
51: dt = utc.localize(dt).astimezone(myTZ)
52: header += "%s: %s\n" % (f, dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"))
53: else:
54: header += "%s: %s\n" % (f, post[h2wp[f]])
56: contents = header.encode('utf8') + '\n'
57: contents += post['description'].encode('utf8') + '\n'
59: print post['link']
60: partialPath = pathRE.search(post['link']).group(1)
61: fullPath = os.environ['HOME'] + '/Dropbox/all-this/source' + partialPath
62: try:
63: os.makedirs(fullPath)
64: except OSError:
65: pass
66: postFile = open(fullPath + post['wp_slug'] + '.md', 'w')
67: postFile.write(contents)
68: postFile.close()
69: except:
70: pass
As I said, most of this is explained in the post that describes the
get-post script. The new stuff is
- Line 26, which creates a regex object for pulling the
/yyyy/mm/portion out of a post's URL.
- Lines 30-31, which get the starting and ending post IDs from the command line.
- The loop that's controlled from Line 43, which allows many posts to be downloaded and saved with each invocation of
- The
try/exceptblock that starts on Line 44, which allows the script to continue when it runs into a post ID that doesn't exist. These are typically due to posts I created but deleted.
- Line 59, which prints the URL of each post as it's downloaded. It was fun to see some old favorites fly past as the archive was saved.
- Lines 60-65, which create the directory structure for saving the Markdown source files. The
makedirsmethod creates all the intermediate directories necessary. If the directory already exists,
makedirsthrows an error—this is caught and handled by the
- Lines 66-68, which open, write, and close the Markdown source file.
As the files were saved, I noticed that several posts with names like
666-revision and
999-autosave scroll past. These are obviously weird partial posts that shouldn't be in the archive. After testing to make sure no real posts would be deleted, I
cd'd into the
source directory and issued these commands:
find ./ -name "*-revision*" -exec rm {} \;
find ./ -name "*-autosave*" -exec rm {} \;
That got rid of the oddballs.
Mind you, I'm still not ready to switch to a baked blog. But I'm readier than I was yesterday.
Update 1/15/13
While I appreciate the suggestions (here and on Twitter) for a static blogging engine, I'll probably write my own. The attraction to me of a baked blog is less the speed of web serving—I don't get that much traffic, and caching has worked well for me—than the complete control over the site. When you use someone else's system, you have to work with, or around, their decisions, and if I'm going to do that I'll just stick with WordPress.
Do not, by the way, expect the switch, if it happens at all, to happen any time soon. Even guys as talented as Gabe, Brett, and Justin took a long time to switch their sites to a static system. And if I never switch, I'll still consider this exercise to have been worth the modest time I put into it. Having a local archive of the blog will still be useful for searching and other offline work.

Good move. In case you're looking for a Python based solution, several are available but one that caught my attention is Acrylamid, mainly because it supports incremental builds (a rarity amongst static blogging generators) See : http://posativ.org/acrylamid/
Aristotle Pagaltzis says:
What would you do with your comments? Baking is a good idea for a blog – except, most everyone who does it that way seems to then end up using Disqus.
The apostrophe in "I
cd'd into the
sourcedirectory" is the wrong way around, btw. (SmartyPants?)
Dr. Drang says:
Comment are a big problem, Aristotle. Because they're dynamic, they're antithetical to the very idea of a static blog, but I don't want to eliminate them. Disqus is the easy and popular answer; I'm just not sure I want to depend on an outside service.
Alternatives are Juvia, which has the disadvantage of using a database instead of text files, and Matt Palmer's Jekyll plugin, which I might be able to raid for ideas. I'm still studying.
And yes, the backwards apostrophe was a SmartyPants error. The Markdown source was
I `cd`'d into the `source` directory
and SmartyPants decided that the backtick after "cd" meant that the apostrophe was an opening single quote. Thanks for picking that up.
Aristotle Pagaltzis says:
Ah. Matt Palmer's approach is identical in spirit to how I decided I might implement comments (if ever I do). My hand-wavy idea was to save them as files in a spool directory on the server, periodically cleaned out after pulling them into the master copy of the weblog data so they can then be incorporated statically in the baked pages.
Obviously that means I have to view and approve every comment before it appears on the site – which was fine for my preferences. But now it occurs to me that exposing the comment spool in an Ajax-friendly form would also allow closing the gap to real-time while keeping with the spirit of a baked weblog.
The reason Disqus bothers me so much is that their wide popularity puts them in a position to build profiles of individual weblog readers, even those who never even leave a comment. It's the same privacy hole which DoubleClick first brought to public consciousness.
Jay says:
I added categories to the script and the output comes back as
['Cat1', 'Cat2']
Is there a simple way to strip out the junk and have it save as a simple list?
Dr. Drang says:
First check the type to make sure that
post['categories']is a list and not a string that looks like a list. The documentation says it's a list, but you never know.
Assuming it's a list, you'll have to make a special case for categories and have it print out
`", ".join(post['categories'])

There's a lot of debate in the Peruvian media right now over jailed former-president ALberto Fujimori, who will likely spend the rest of his life in jail because of convictions for a number of corruption charges and violations of human rights during his government's political crackdown and eventual defeat (or close to it) of Sendero Luminoso.
I wonder what the victims of the massacres at Barrios Altos, La Cantuta, La Santa etc think of Fujimori's right to due process and humane treatment. Oh snap, they're dead on his direct orders. NVM.

I've been making these for a couple of weeks now in my attemp to eat lower calories for dinner. I'm using whole wheat tortilla shells & lots of garlic plus the fat free cheese & turkey pepperoni. Bit of olive oil & bake in oven bottom rack 10 minutes exactly 350 & they are perfectly thin crust crispy goodness. Try this baking time for better tasting pizza's. Don't forget the parmesan cheese you can load this type of pizza up with any of your favorite veggies too.

SPOKANE INT'L AIRPORT -- The Spokane Air Traffic Control Tower has a new name as of Friday.
Members of the U.S. Navy, Congress, and the Federal Aviation Administration were all gathered there for a special occasion, to honor a Spokane man whose life and career has inspired so many people.
Tom Torvick works for the Airway Transportation Systems. He says he read the book "Radioman" written by local author Carol Hipperson. When he got to the end of the book and saw the man was from Spokane, he thought to himself, "Wow, I walked in this man's footsteps." The man he is referring to is Ray Daves.
The book chronicles Ray Daves naval career including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, where Daves suddenly found himself helping others fire on the enemy planes in the sky. Daves told KREM 2 News, "Well, I didn't pull any triggers, I just gave 'm ammo."
Daves would later serve on a submarine, then on to the aircraft carrier Yorkdown which was lost in the famous Battle of Midway, a battle that helped turn the tide on the Pacific front.
KREM 2's Randy Shaw first met the Purple Heart recipient when he traveled with him on an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. where Daves saw for the first time the World War II Memorial. Daves told Shaw seeing the memorial brought tears to his eyes.
And his humble nature only now reluctantly accepts the idea of naming the Spokane Air Traffic Control Tower after him. Daves says, "I guess that will be OK but I never heard of 'em naming a federal building after a common ordinary citizen." That is true and Daves is now the first.
He spent 27 years as an air traffic controller until he retired in 1973. Torvick spearheaded the effort to get the tower named after Daves and Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers pushed through a bill in less than four months to get the job done. She presented Daves the framed bill from the 111th Congress and signed by the President of the United States. Torvick says, "I think the people back in D.C. had heard Ray is up in his years, let's not waste any time with this. Let's get it done and do the right thing and that's what happened."
And with four generations of his own family present, that is what happened; the Ray Daves Air Traffic Control Tower was born. Daves told Randy Shaw, "More than I ever anticipated, Randy, it's just beyond me, it's like winning an Oscar, you know, it really is."
