Evelyn Wotipka is a Texas native, growing up in the Crosby/Highlands area. She has 2 children, 3 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and –until recently – she also had a disdain for computers. When Stratford began offering computer classes last fall, Evelyn was one of the first to sign up, although the staff were instructed not to let anyone one know she was willing to use one of those pesky computers. "I don't want anyone to know I've finally agreed to touch that thing."
Over time, Evelyn successfully completed the basic courses as well as several internet courses such as Emails, Google Maps, Library Databases, and even Online Shopping. She now uses "that thing" to check her emails, print and distribute maps to social events, order books from the library, and has even considered shopping on Amazon. And the secret is out: now everyone knows she uses the pesky computer since she recently joined Facebook and now swaps pictures and messages with family and friends all over the country. "I've learned a lot, but there's still so much I don't know," she said on one recent trip to Stratford. "I just want to learn to be comfortable with it."
Now she can achieve that goal both with library resources and at home since she just purchased her first computer. Congratulations, Evelyn! Stratford Library will always be here to support you as you continue your journey into the computer world.
All computer classes are free of charge and offered on a first come, first served basis. For more information on availability, please contact the Stratford staff at 281-426-3521. You can also click here [2] for a class schedule.

Posted by Ben Lawson - bio | email
CROSBYTON, TX (KCBD) - State Representative Joe Heflin says he will be in Austin next week attending hearings where legislators will study issues involving rural economic development and agriculture-related transportation.
The House Agriculture & Livestock Committee will meet jointly on Tuesday, April 27, with the House Committee on County Affairs, and on Wednesday, April 28, with the House Committee on Transportation, to work on interim charges issued last fall by Speaker Joe Straus.
"I am excited to begin working on these joint interim charges to study rural economic development and agriculture-related transportation issues. Hopefully, finding solutions to these two issues can begin to slow, and maybe even reverse, the population and economic decline we have seen in rural Texas," Heflin said.
The legislators' goal is to help local businesses and rural communities attract additional businesses and increase jobs, as well as discuss current transportation limitations facing farmers and ranchers.
These committee hearings give legislators the opportunity to listen to state agency experts who can offer innovative ideas about what changes should be considered by the Legislature in their next regular session.
"While rural Texans don't want 'Austin' telling them how to run their businesses and live their lives, the Legislature needs to discuss what existing barriers and impediments need to be eliminated so rural Texas can grow and prosper," Heflin said.
The public is invited to listen to these meetings via the Texas Legislature Online web site, clickhere. Rep. Heflin encourages anyone who would like more information about the meetings to call his Capitol Office at (512) 463-0604 or one of his District Offices at (806) 675-0017 or (432) 212-2897.

white men are easily the worst
white rich men
Entitled rich white men.
Works for a special tax on white men earning 10% or more above the national average in the US are currently under way.
We can expect to be hearing about it within the next 10-15 years, depending on certain political factors.
I was at a meeting last week in which it was suggested it first be attempted in a female-friendly country overseas. The idea was met with much favor, so keep your eyes and ears open for that sometime within the next decade, too.
There's simply no reason that those who are privileged as a result of a penis and skin color should be granted luxury and higher access to financial freedom.
Everything depends on how successful we are at installing dedicated people into positions of political power and influence.
Keep your head up ladies, especially those of us in a racial minority group. There will come a time when we are given our dues and compensated properly for our oppression.

While [the natural law] argument would be merely annoying if invoked in abstract, it is sometimes assumed to be valid, and then used to justify all manner of harm:
"…tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
Divorce is a grave offense against the natural law. It claims to break the contract, to which the spouses freely consented, to live with each other till death. Divorce does injury to the covenant of salvation, of which sacramental marriage is the sign. Contracting a new union, even if it is recognized by civil law, adds to the gravity of the rupture: the remarried spouse is then in a situation of public and permanent adultery."
Basing regulations on the non-existent natural law is dangerous and detrimental to those caught outside the realm of what the authority deems acceptable. Two women that are in love, or a man that wants to leave his abusive wife, are shit out of luck because those things are 'against natural law', as though loving who you choose and self-preservation are some kind of irrational goal."

James William Ercolani (born June 8, 1936), known by his stage name James Darren, is an American television and film actor, television director, and singer.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 8, 1936, Darren began his career as a teen idol, having been discovered by talent agent and casting director Joyce Selznick. This encompassed roles in films, most notably his role as Moondoggie in Gidget in 1959, as well as a string of pop hits for Colpix Records, the biggest of which was "Goodbye Cruel World" (#3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961). It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[1] Another sizeable hit was "Her Royal Majesty" (#6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962). He is also featured in one of the Scopitone series of pop music video jukebox films ("Because You're Mine").
Darren's role in the 1961 World War II film The Guns of Navarone was an attempt to break out of his teen image. He was the singing voice of Yogi Bear in the 1964 animated film, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, on the song "Ven-e, Ven-o, Ven-a". Prior to that, he was the singing and speaking voice of "Jimmy Darrock" on an episode of The Flintstones. He then achieved success co-starring as impulsive scientist and adventurer Tony Newman in the science fiction television series, The Time Tunnel (1966–1967).
In the 1970s Darren appeared as a celebrity panelist on Match Game.
Later Darren had a regular role as Officer James Corrigan on the television police drama T.J. Hooker from 1983–1986. Subsequently he worked as a director on many action-based television series, including Hunter, The A-Team, and Nowhere Man, as well as dramas such as Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place.
In 1998 he achieved renewed popularity as a singer through his appearances on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the role of holographic crooner and advice-giver Vic Fontaine; many of his performances on the show were re-recorded for the album This One's From the Heart (1999). The album showed Darren, a close friend of Frank Sinatra, comfortably singing in the Sinatra style; the 2001 follow-up Because of You showed similar inspiration from Tony Bennett.
Darren dated Barbara Bouchet after she won the "Miss Gidget" contest in 1959. He has been married twice:
Darren and his wife are godparents to Nancy Sinatra's daughter, Angela Jennifer Lambert, (Frank Sinatra's first grandchild). Darren and Nancy Sinatra also share a birthday, June 8, 1936 and 1940, respectively.
Many compilation albums also exist.

The name 'Argentina'
Comes from the Latin argentum which means silver. The origin of the name goes back to the voyages made by the first Spanish conquistadores (conquerors) to the Río de la Plata. The shipwrecked survivors of the expedition mounted by Juan Díaz de Solís discovered Indians in the region who presented them with silver objects. The news about the legendary Sierra del Plata, a mountain rich in silver, reached Spain around 1524. From this date the Portuguese named the river of Solís, the Silver River (Río de la Plata). Two years later the Spanish used the same name. Since 1860 the official name of the country has been the República Argentina (Republic of Argentina).
The official Argentine currency is the peso, the value of which is equivalent to one United States dollar and fluctuates along with the latter. There are 2, 5, 10, 50 and 1 00 peso bills and 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents and 1 peso coins.
The national language is Spanish. English, French and Italian are quite widely spoken.
The official religion is Roman Catholic, although there is complete freedom of worship for Protestants, Jews, Moslems, Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox.
It is republican, representative and federal, as determined by the Constitution. Politically the country is divided into 23 provinces and the federal capital (City of Buenos Aires).
The national president and vice-president, as well as the head of government of the City of Buenos Aires, the provincial governors and the members of the legislative bodies are chosen by the universal, secret and compulsory vote of citizens of either sex above the age of 1 8. Presidential re-election is Aowed for one consecutive 4-year period.
President: Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007)
The current population of Argentina is estimated to be some 37 million of which almost half live in the Federal Capital and the province of Buenos Aires. These figures give us a population density of 13.2 inhabitants per square kilometre.
95% of Argentineans are white and principally descendants of Italians and Spaniards. With the massive European immigration the white and Indian half castes became slowly diluted until today these people only amount to 4.5% of the population. The pure indigenous population, the Mapuches, Collas, Tobas, Matacos and Chiriguanos, amount to 0.5% of the population.
Its North-South extension of 3,800 km and its area of 3,761,274 sq. km, gives Argentina a great variety of climates and landscapes.
The Pampas, one of the three largest fertile plains in the world, cover approximately a third of the country's surface, with a temperate and humid climate.
To the south is Patagonia, an immense and plateau bordered on the west by the southern end of the Andes range. This mountain chain changes according to latitude. In the south it is covered with forests, lakes and glaciers, with a cold and damp climate. In the center the Andes has the highest peaks in the Americas and the Cuyo region, which is known in the local Indian language as "the desert country" and has become nowadays in a fertil productive area.
In the Northwest region, the Andean mountains, the desert plateau of the Funa, the valleys, the gorges, the multicolored hills and the picturesque villages come together to endow the area with vigorous and contrasting physical and cultural features.
In the central region, the Pampa Hills, a feral area of hills, escarpments and waterfalls alternate with valleys and plains with a temperate climate.
The Chaco, in the country's middle north, is a vast wooded plain with marshes and lakes.
To the northeast, bracketed by the big Paraná and Uruguay rivers, is the region known as Mesopotamia. In the north, a subtropical climate and jungle areas, and in the south, temperate weather with plains suitable for farming.
A main feature of Argentina is its farming. Grain and oilseeds are harvested as well as sugarcane, cotton, fruit, "yerba mate" and grapes. Cattle raising is notable for the size of the herds; cows, sheep, horses and pigs are bred. The country's main industries are those that are derived from agriculture.
As regards mining, there are deposits of metallic minerals (iron, uranium, lead, tungsten, tin, zinc, gold, copper, silver and manganese), non-metallic minerals (clays, ordinary salt, gypsum) and rocks for applications (sands, limestone, pebbles and ground granite). Among fuels, oil, natural gas and coal are produced.
Fisheries are significant: river, lake and maritime fishing, the latter along the country's Atlantic coastline.
Over the last years, tourism has strengthened as one of the main sources of development of the Argentine economy, generating both employment and investments. Likewise, the increase of the receptive tourism income has positioned this activity on the first place within export items.
After the opening up of the Argentine economy and with its newly found place in international markets, different integration agreements among the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay led to the creation of the Southern Cone Common Market (MERCOSUR).
It is seen in all its manifestations, cinema, theater, visual arts, music and literature, with outstanding personalities, many of whom have worldwide recognition.
The Colón Theater is ranked among the top three opera houses in the world with a beautiful architecture and perfect acoustics. Its wide stage allows great sets to be built for large casts. The most famous musicians and ballet-dancers have performed and continue to perform there.
In Buenos Aires there are about 90 theaters and 100 cinemas, with a large variety of shows. Among the key centers of culture are the General San Martin, Recoleta and Borges cultural centers.
Painting and sculpture have a key role in cultural life. The country's principal cities have prestigious art galleries. There is popular and folklore music and special mention should be made of the urban music typical of the River Plate area: the tango. Its idol, Carlos Gardel, was turned into a legend by millions of fans. Its lyrics and unmistakable beat make the tango a specifically Buenos Aires phenomenon, yet it continues to triumph abroad.
Five Nobel awards, in diverse fields, have been won by Argentine men: in physiology and medicine, B. Houssay (1947) and C. Milstein (1984); in chemistry, L.E Leloir (1970), while C. de Saavedra Lamas (1936) and A. Pérez Esquivel (1980) received the peace award.
The Argentine gaucho should be specially mentioned as described in "Martin Fierro" by the Buenos Aires Province poet José Hernández. Argentines have inherited from the gauchos a strong personality, the love of freedom and a permanent quest for justice. It is thus understandable that, though originally from the pampas, the gaucho is everywhere in this land.
Farms / estancias
The entire Argentine territory is dotted with farming establishments known as estancias, many of them over 200 years old. Some have farmhouses, called cascos, which are gorgeous mansions in the English or French style, luxuriously furnished and very comfortable. Others, on the other hand, preserve the old and austere colonial style.
A number of farm owners have opened their establishments to the public, transforming them into small and exclusive top-notch hotels. The estancias offer guests a range of activities that turn their stay into an attractive experience: horse riding, fishing, birdwatching, polo, golf, etc. as well as diverse farming activities, such as cattle roundups, milking, cattle branding, sheep marking and shearing, or watching gauchos breaking in horses or displaying their riding abilities, as well as enjoying their guitar playing and folklore dances.
Adventure Tourism
The high mountain peaks, snow-covered mountains and hills are ideal for mountain climbing and trekking. Lesser heights are used for hang gliding and paragliding.
Lakes, natural and artificial, offer canoeing and windsurfing. The Mendoza, Diamante, Atuel, San Juan, Limay, Manso, Hua Hum and Melinquina rivers, rafting and kayaking.
At the Barreal plain, El Leoncito, there's sailcarting, a kind of windsurfing on land using tricycles with sails.
Horseback riding and mountain biking are organized in various parts of the country and allow access to nature's more out-of-the-way landscapes.
Ski in The Andes
The Catedral (San Carlos de Bariloche, Rio Negro) and Chapelco (San Martin de los Andes, Neuquén) are international winter sports centers. In Neuquén Province the Bayo and Caviahue peaks, are modern winter sports resorts.
Near the town of Esquel (Chubut) is La Hoya, with great ski slopes. Cross- country skiing is popular at numerous winter sports centers in Tierra del Fuego Province.
In Mendoza Province, Vallecitos, Los Penitentes and the famed Las Leflas valley are ski resorts with the most modern facilities. The season starts in June and ends in September with a great inflow of skiers and amateurs from around the world.
Meat and wine have given the country an excellent reputation. The local cuisine is varied and tasty. The Northwest region has its own specialties: empanadas, tamales, humita, carbonada and locro.
In addition, however, the strong immigration flows that populated the country explain the existence of delicious international cuisine: Italian, Spanish, French, German, Smiss, English, Chilean, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Arab, Jewish, Basque, Scandinavian, Greek, Dutch, Hungarian, Russian.
The new Argentine cuisine, created by top-ranking chefs and encouraged by demanding gourmets, is up to international standards, competing with the best in the world.
One of the great obsessions of Argentines is soccer. The City of Buenos Aires has 17 stadiums, many of them seating more than 40,000 spectators.
"Pato" is a genuine local sport, and Argentine polo has acquired an international reputation due to the dexterity of its players, considered the best in the world.
In recent years other sports have won thousands of young people over. There are more than 1,500 tennis courts in Buenos Aires and neighboring areas; in field hockey and roller skate hockey, Argentina's teams have won major victories abroad. In rugby, the 1% national team, the Pumas, has shown its mettle in diverse world championships. Ski has been boosted by the construction of new winter-sports centers with very good slopes and modern ski-lifts. Volleyball and basketball teams also compete at international level.
Water sports are also practiced in our country. sailing, power-boating, rafting and canoeing. Argentina's big game hunting is famous. Dorado and salmon fishing attracts numerous visitors. And the list goes on to include car-racing, boxing, golf, trekking, mountain climbing, mountain biking and hang gliding, as well as the beach sports practiced along the Atlantic coast.

Feature Article: Seven tire killers
Seven tire killers
Tires, your biggest variable cost after fuel, cost a lot less per mile if they last as long as intended. Experts weigh in on the biggest threats to your tires.
By John Baxter
1 Underinflation
A tire running on low air works "harder than it was intended to work. The tread rubber heats up," says Guy Walenga, director of engineering for commercial products at Bridgestone/Firestone. Furthermore, the potential damage accelerates the further the tire gets from optimum pressure. For example, running 10 percent low means much more than a 10 percent increase in flexing, heat and damage from bending the steel cords beyond the point where they will spring back.
"You can never repair damage done to a tire this way," Walenga says of overflexing. And "there is no tell-tale sign of damage. It may end up being useless for retreading."
It also might be useless long before retreading. "Any commercial tire that has been run more than 20 percent underinflated must be considered flat and removed from the wheel to be inspected for damage," says Matt Gudermuth, Continental Tire's warranty manager for commercial vehicle tires. "Circumferential fatigue ruptures, known commonly as zipper failures, are caused by extreme deflection of steel casing cords during the load cycle of rotation, when the tire is underinflated or overloaded."
2 Overinflation or overloading
Overinflation can happen in these ways, says Jones:
• You put a significant amount of extra air in the tire to compensate for leakage. It's always better to fix the leak and inflate the tire up to the proper pressure.
• You air the tire up on a cold morning and end up driving at high speeds after the weather warms significantly. Take time to check pressure in this situation and adjust as necessary.
• You've aired your tires for 80,000-pound running and then start hauling lighter freight. Instead, reduce the pressure according to the manufacturer's recommendations for the axle loading.
3. Poor wheel alignment
"If the tires are not rolling straight down the road and straight up on the road surface, they are going to wear faster or in some sort of uneven way," says Goodyear Marketing Communications Manager Tim Miller. "Today's radial tires are designed to run such long distances before they wear out, any issue with toe, camber, caster and all axle perpendicularity to the chassis centerline will have a marked, negative effect."

Last year, I was approached to help develop a feature film based on the graphic novel, Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography by Chester Brown.
I wrote a treatment and then animated the following as a proof-of-concept for the general look of the film. I wanted to keep the really distinctive look of Brown's characters, which were really reminiscent of Harold Gray's Li'l Orphan Annie and Herge's Tintin. I chose to break from the look of the novel by not only adding colour but also by expanding the picture frame from the rigid square comic panels, to a Cinemascope format. I felt this would help to suggest the width of the Canadian landscape and the vast distances from East to West, which is a central theme to the story.
Despite generating a fair bit of interest, things (as is so often the case) fell through and it looks like the project is dead in the water.
But, since I never like hard work to go to waste, I present the short film here for you to see what might have been...

Tracey Grimshaw ... the farmers' favourite, while the townsfolk prefer Today Tonight
REDNECKS, rustics, bushies, bumpkins, hayseeds, hicks from the sticks, salt-of-the-earthers – whatever you call them, they're going to be People of Influence for the next three years.
The balance of power boys will ensure that the wants and needs of "the regions" will be priorities for any government that coalesces from the current chaos. In Australia's greatest poem, Clancy of the Overflow, Banjo Paterson told us that the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. Now we need to know them, because they're about to be more important than the pleasures of the 80 per cent of Australians who live in big cities.
This column has dug out the data desperately craved by Gillard and Abbott. Normally, when TV ratings are reported, they describe the entertainment choices of people in the mainland capitals, where Nielsen has people meter boxes attached to sets in 3000 homes. But Nielsen also has 2,000 people meters scattered through the regions. They measure who watches what on the stations run by NBN, Prime Television, Seven Queensland, Southern Cross Broadcasting, and WIN Corporation. Between them, those companies entertain Katter's north Queensland, Windsor's northern NSW and Oakeshott's mid north coast.

While townsfolk hear the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting (that would be Underbelly and The Chaser), Clancy enjoys the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, and at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars. Then he goes inside, fires up the cathode ray tube, and watches TV in this manner …
The regions are keener than the townsfolk on: A Current Affair, RBT, Highway Patrol, Send in the Dogs, The Farmer Wants A Wife, 60 Minutes, RPA, Extreme Fishing with Robson Greene.
They are less keen than the townsfolk on: Modern Family, Parenthood, Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation, Glee, Dancing With The Stars, Gruen Nation, Hot Property, Yes We Canberra.
They share the townsfolks' love of: MasterChef, Underbelly, State of Origin rugby league, Packed To The Rafters, Minute to Win It, Australia's Got Talent, World's Strictest Parents.
This might lead you to stereotype Clancy as conservative, sentimental and gullible, given his preference for law and order (RBT, Highway Patrol, Send in the Dogs); romance (The Farmer Wants a Wife); and sensationalism (A Current Affair) and his abhorrence of fleshy display (Dancing with the Stars); perverse lifestyles (Modern Family, Glee); and disrespect for authority (Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation, Yes We Canberra).
But another piece of data paints a different portrait. Nielsen finds that the bushies are more likely to be regular viewers of the ABC and SBS than are the townsfolk. So far this year, ABC1 has averaged 14.9 per cent of prime time viewing in the regions, compared with 13.2 in the capitals, and SBS has averaged 5.7 per cent of prime time viewing in the regions, compared with 4.9 per cent in the capitals.
A more accurate stereotype of Clancy in the 21st century might be as a lefty trendy with a passion for news and culture. And surely that means we should be happy to leave control of our governance to him. No doubt he'd suit the office.
The three country members in their sensible sunhats would have to be better placed to contribute to national debate than people who, with their eager eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy, shoulder one another in their rush and nervous haste. According to Banjo Paterson (no doubt inspired by Paul Keating), townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to waste. So lets not involve them in politics any more.

Wooo!! My Question got answered.
Q. Regarding Cataclysm, can you reveal any of the 'major changes' in Blasted Lands and how this will affect the lore?
A. I love the fact that one of our first questions is in regards to the Blasted Lands! We have big plans in store for this zone in Cataclysm. We will be revamping the entire flow of the zone so you can expect an entirely new experience here. Some of the big changes include an opening to the coastline for a new play area, as well as a large new worgen area in The Tainted Scar.
RogueJedi86 said...
I liked that question's answer, some real good details on changes. Opening up to the ocean for a new area in Blasted Lands, and the worgen getting the Tainted Scar. I wonder if the worgen in Tainted Scar will be the Alliance worgen or more random feral worgen?

My oh my, what a day it has been! And now it's the long weekend, my friends! "Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!" <— said with a fist-pump in.
I went through a rainbow array of emotions today because good God, you guys, I am leaving so soon!!!
It's so easy to say "I want to travel, I want to leave all that I know," when you're locked in a job, going through a routine, surrounded by the safe, comfortable world that you live in. But. But it's another thing to know in a mere 23 days you'll actually be on a plane. Suddenly the world you wished for seems too close, too real, and thoughts arise whether you should have just kept your dreams all talk and no action.
But Sept 22, at 6:10pm, everything *is* going to change.
I've been really nervous about the money part of the trip, because I truly have no idea how much it's all going to cost me (anyone have any ideas?). Am I going to wake up one morning broke and stranded in some country, with nothing more than the belongings in my bag? Hmmmmmm…
12 flights are booked so far ($2,760.05 later….) and hardly any accommodation (exception: Berlin and trek to Base Camp, Mt. Everest), but I think I'll keep it this way…. take a chance, leave my options open, see where the trip takes me… at least, that's what I'm saying right now.
I have a back up passport and visa, y'know, just-in-case (Mother-Liz will keep it ready to fedex), and an assortment of passport size photos for all my different visa passports… There were/are so many little things I have to do, it's unbelievable how overwhelming it's got, trust me on that one.
I also find I'm going through the motions of what I think I'm *supposed* to do, but really, I'm so blind to all this, that deep down inside I'm somewhat freaking out.
But, the organization, the bookings, the planning, and even hit to my wallet, none of it will be nearly as hard as when the goodbyes start.
I said my first goodbye to my brother last weekend, as he heads back to school for the Fall. My heart physically hurt knowing I may not see him again for a year, maybe two? Driving home I didn't know what to do.
I am so scared. I am so nervous. I am terrified of the next three weeks coming to an end. It's such a weird feeling knowing I'm the one who created whatever it is I'm going through.
At some point in my life I know I want to skydive. I imagine the fear right before one jumps, right before they take that leap of faith, is somewhat similar to what I'm currently going through.
You know you want to do it. Without a doubt, you do. But in that moment up there? it's terrifying as hell.
Because despite the risks, despite the unknown, despite my many hesitations (and oh there are many!), I know this is what I truly want to do at the end of each day; see the world, take a chance, and simply start new.
Faith in myself, that, I luckily have, and at the end of the day I think (hope) that's all that matters.

Check out this fun, but very addictive, little browser game. If you're bored of Bubbleshooter, this is your new drug!
How to play: Use your arrow keys to move the tiles. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one with double the value.
The goal: Merge the tiles until you get a tile with the value of 2048.
Click this link to play in your browser.
I've spent at least a couple of hours playing, and I think I've found a guiding principle for how to do it. I just need a little luck and a little more patience. I still haven't achieved a 1024 tile though.
It's a perfect format for an app game, but some of the versions I found had ads in them, and I'd rather pay for my games. However, this seems like an alternative: Google play. It's a webview that loads the locally stored HTML files of the original game, so you can play without internet connection, and there are no ads. I haven't tried downloading it yet though.

I celebrated national honeybee day by screen printing with flower ink at Milwaukee's Bee In. The event was organized by Charlie Koenen, founder of Beepods. Folks came to learn about honeybees, taste honey, taste mead, and make some prints. It was a Blast! Thanks to the always amazing Shannon Molter for the flower ink recipe. Photo props to Joe Brusky and Bryan Bergner.

I adapted the sensory synthesis sculpture that I created with Shannon Molter to operate on a bike for the Riverwest 24 this weekend. It was a blast to take over the streets and celebrate bikes and community with Riverwest. I gave friends and new friends of all ages rides in the trailer.

Wood Spoons

I have been making wood spoons. It is super fun. Here are some I did a few months ago. I have several more in the works. I find eating with handmade flatware so gratifying. using a handmade wood spoon feels sensual and personal to me. I can do custom commissions and may have some to sell by winter. Thank you Sandhill and Darien for the initial inspiration!
Bike Touring
July 27, 2014
Quite a few people have asked me about bike touring so although I do not consider it part of my art practice it is related and does inform my work. Below are some tips based on my preferences and experiences; every tour and rider is different but I hope this helps all those interested in touring. Enjoy!
- Pack Light. I put my tent and sleeping mat on top of my rack, 2 larger rear panniers and a small handle bar bag. Most people over pack on their first tour, and every pound matters. Clothes can be washed in rivers and sinks and dried on the back of your bike while riding. Your gonna get dirty. Food and water can usually be easily acquired, at least on the trips I have done, so know your area and you probably won't need to carry much.
- Directions. Sometimes it is easier not to ask for directions. People that don't bike generally give terrible bike directions. I use maps, compass, smartphone, and talk to people that bike.
- Food. There is a lot of free food if you know how to find it in our abundant and wasteful country.
- Lodging. You can camp lots of places for free. Behind churches, fire stations, city parks on the D.L. and the woods. If you are freedom camping just be sure to have enough water for the night. Campgrounds are too expensive unless you are biking the west coast. Often you can roll in late and leave early for a free stay if you like campgrounds. http://www.warmshowers.com is cool too.
- Sounds. Listening to music and Podcasts is nice but so is listening to your thoughts and the world around you.
- Partner? Touring with a friend can be fun, touring solo is too. Solo tours allow you to be in complete control and have incredible independence. You can go anywhere, sleep anywhere, meet new people and get free.
- Dogs. When being chased by dogs snarl at them furiously like a mountain lion; if done correctly they will turn in fear. Out running them, spraying them with a water bottle or biking at them works well too. I had a lot of experience with this on my last tour to North Carolina.
- Fix it. You need to know some basic bike repair. Fixing flats, adjusting brakes and other stuff is a must, bike shops can do the rest.
- Rout. Bike touring is not about getting somewhere, it is about the ride and entire experience. Take the most scenic and enjoyable rout possible. It is fun to get a lot of miles in sometimes but you have to enjoy the ride.
- Riding Position. Get a good saddle and have someone that knows what they are doing help with proper riding position. a lot of riders including myself have trouble with blood flow to hands and knee pain. Use your core while riding, change hand position while riding and making seat or handlebar adjustments as you go can help.
- Talk to people! Lots of people are going to want to talk to you. If this gets boring or if they are boring keep the conversation short or make up a new story every time to keep it interesting. It is fun to stop at bike shops and ask for recommendations for routs and things to do. People generally enjoy helping others, it makes them feel good so be open to it. I have been offered lots of things from people.
True False 2014
March 4, 2014
I just got back from a great weekend at True False Film Festival in Columbia MO. I collaborated with Milwaukee artist Shannon Molter to create Sensory Synthesis, the parrade puppet pictured. This was my fourth year making art for True/False, and it was a blast as always. This was my first time collaborating with Shannon, which was awesome, and my first time making a sculpture this big! We built the armature out of PVC pipe and the skin out of up-cycled ironed plastic bag, other plastic sheets and wall-paper cast-offs. Thanks to Paul Kejland for snapping photo's during the parade and Thanks to Lian Markovich, Crystal, and other volunteers for helping us operate our bird dragon creature.

My River Wildlife on Panel series is on display at the Menomonee Valley Urban Ecology Center located at 3700 W. Pierce St. Milwaukee, WI 53215
For these works I experimented with homemade egg tempera paint and a mud or clay egg mixture. I built the wood panels and incorporated the natural wood grain into some of the pieces. In the past I have used acrylic paint and latex sealant for my mud stencils on panel. I am excited that I can now make my works on panel completely non-toxic as well. In the process of researching natural paints I discovered that there a quite a few options for non-toxic interior house paints. They are usually milk or clay based paint. I think that natural paints for art use has a lot of potential.
First Outdoor Posting of Milwaukee River Animal Stencils
October 7, 2013
I recently posted some of my river animal stencils with Shannon Molter, an inspiring Milwaukee artist. We put them up on a very fitting location, the Riverside Park Urban Ecology Center. The stencils were on a exposed wall so they were quickly washed away in a rain storm the next day. I will have to get more up soon. I like them better outside then on panel. I enjoyed using some white clay slip in addition to my regular dirt and found clay.

This was a small packet (4 pages) of sketches I created at the beginning of my job as Head of Character Design for the TV show I'm working on for CBN, called "Superbook". We already had a "anime influenced" style to the show, but the CG modelers were not making very unique, stylized hands. They were making real hands, which looked odd. Worse, they were the same hands no matter male or female, young or old, fat or thin characters. Anyway, thought you all would want to see this.
How to draw hands 😊

Late last month, the Spanish energy giant Repsol agreed to accept $5 billion worth of Argentine bonds as repayment for the government's confiscation of YPF, Argentina's largest oil company, which was formerly controlled by Repsol until its April 2012 seizure by President Cristina Kirchner. With the South American country mired in financial turmoil and flirting with yet another sovereign default, the true value of its bonds remains to be seen. But for now, President Kirchner appears to have resolved a longstanding dispute that had polluted Argentina's image and accelerated capital flight.
Are there any lessons to be drawn from this episode? There are, I think, both for Western governments and Argentine policymakers.
At the time of the initial YPF seizure, in April 2012, three of the most prominent Western media outlets—the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post—recommended that Argentina be expelled from the G-20 as punishment. Yet no such action was taken. The Economist also suggested that Argentina be stripped of its borrowing privileges at multilateral institutions, and that its citizens lose their visa-free-traveling privileges in Europe.
There was indeed some pushback on the financing front: While Argentina has continued receiving Inter-American Development Bank loans, it has faced much steeper challenges in accessing new World Bank loans, thanks to opposition from countries such as the United States, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan. (This opposition, it should be noted, predated the YPF seizure.) But the proposed clampdown on visa-free European travel went nowhere.
A stronger, more unified Western response to the YPF nationalization might have prompted a quicker and more equitable settlement by Buenos Aires. It might also have compelled President Kirchner to settle other outstanding international financial disputes and to rethink the economic policies that have turned her country into a basket case. All of that would have been in the interests, not merely of Repsol, the Spanish government, and other Western companies and countries, but also of Argentines themselves, for their nation remains on a collision course with economic disaster.
Ever since Argentina's historic 2001–02 default—which followed prior defaults in 1989 and 1982—it has effectively been frozen out of global capital markets. It still owes the Paris Club of creditor nations an estimated $10 billion, and it's still embroiled in a legal fight with private creditors who refused to participate in earlier debt restructurings and are demanding full repayment on their defaulted bonds. In mid-October, Financial Times correspondent Benedict Mander noted that, "Of a total of 439 legal disputes between countries and companies" at the World Bank's International Court for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, "no fewer than 50 involve Argentina—far more than anywhere else, with socialist Venezuela lagging some way behind in second place." (As Mander acknowledged, the number was about to drop from 50 to 45, with Argentina announcing on October 18 that it had agreed to issue $500 million worth of debt to settle disputes with three American companies and two European ones.)

THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with Philip Terzian on his editorial, Stand with the Falklands. Hosted by Michael Graham.
There are legitimate territorial disputes, and then there is Argentina's dispute with Great Britain over the Falkland Islands.
The American position on the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic should be obvious.
Most everyone remembers what happened when Argentina invaded the British Falkland Islands in 1982. Far fewer people remember what preceded—and in many ways provoked—the Argentine invasion.
The Falkland Islands seem to be popping up in the news a lot in the last month. There was the recent death of Sir Rex Hunt—the governor of the territory during the Argentine invasion—and his obituary must be read to be believed. It's like something straight out of an Evelyn Waugh novel.
When Argentine president Cristina Kirchner nationalized the Spanish-owned YPF oil company this past April, Washington Post correspondent Juan Forero proclaimed her "the standard-bearer of populist nationalism in Latin America."
Based on last week's debate, both President Obama and Governor Romney believe that squeezing the Iranians economically is the best way—and perhaps the only way—to end their nuclear-weapons program without resorting to a military strike. Of course, nobody knows if sanctions will actually work. But if the United States is truly serious about crushing Iran's economy, it must pursue a more aggressive strategy, and it must put more pressure on Iranian trading partners.
Today in Washington, Argentine vice president Amado Boudou will be addressing a Council of the Americas conference on the global economic recovery. I have no idea what Boudou will say in his remarks, and I have no idea how the attendees will receive it. But I do know this: Having a senior member of the Kirchner government speak about responsible economic policy is like having a senior member of the Iranian government speak about religious tolerance.
Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner cannot claim to be the only world leader to lash out against oil speculators this week. Last Tuesday President Obama used an appearance in the White House Rose Garden to do the same. But Kirchner put her money where her mouth is. She announced she was renationalizing YPF, Argentina's national oil company, which was privatized in 1993 and still accounts for almost all of the country's oil production.
In 1982, Argentina's right wing military junta launched a sudden invasion of the Falkland Islands, the South Atlantic archipelago that has been a British possession since 1833.
Iran has a lot riding on the survival—both literal and political—of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chávez. If the Bolivarian revolutionary beats cancer and wins another term as president, Tehran will continue to enjoy a strategic partnership with the world's fifth largest oil exporter. But if Chávez dies, or if Venezuela's democratic opposition finds a way to defeat him at the ballot box, the mullahs will lose their most important ally in Latin America, an ally who has effectively turned his country into an Iranian satellite.
As Lewis Carroll's Alice might have said, the relationship between Argentina and Iran just keeps getting "curiouser and curiouser."
Analyzing Argentina's foreign policy can sometimes be more suited to psychiatrists than journalists. Consider, for example, how President Cristina Kirchner and Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman have handled bilateral relations with Iran.

Game and Series Recap: Cubs 4, Pirates 1 -- SAM FULD!!!!! (2 games to 1)
If these Cubs are going to do anything in October, they've gotta be able to take a regular season, three-game series from a team like the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Fortunately, they were able to do that today.
Aside from Randy Wells continuing to outdo himself, the story from tonight's game has to be the pleasantly surprising performance of one Sam Fuld. Sam went 2-for-4 from the leadoff spot, including a double to start a game, and also walked once.
One other special surprise: Fukudome hit a home run! Crazy!
One more Randy Wells comment: he's chalked up another start in which he allowed one or fewer extra base hits. His allowed slugging percentage is a paltry .328 at this point.
It kinda feels like the Cubs can't win unless they hold the opposing team to zero or one runs. Fortunately, they've been able to do that fairly consistently.
Kudos to Wells, Fuld, the Fook-ster, Derrek Lee, and perhaps most importantly, the New York Mets, who took down the Brewers tonight. Three and a half out, with a whole half-season to go!
Additional Notes from Kurt
Although the Cubs held the lead all night, Lou Piniella finally exploded in a fit of ANGER and got himself expelled from the game.
The short of this series is that -- although the Cubs got shut out by a pitcher coming soon to a softball game near you -- the Cubs took 2 of 3 on a road series (something they haven't done a lot this year) against a crappy team overplaying their talent. Naysayers -- also known in some circles as "realists" -- will point out that beating the Pirates means about as much as successfully breathing. But I say that, on the contrary, every win is important even if they are to be expected. Besides, the Cubs are playing two out of their next three series against the Brewers and Cardinals -- if they had entered the up-coming four gamer after having lost to the Pirates, I think we'd all be going to games with our hangin' nooses around our necks.
I will say that I completely understand the negativity -- obviously. We've been saying since May that the Cubs are only a few games out, and all they need to do is string together a series of wins and it will suddenly be their division to lose. That's true but it's a lot harder than a three-dozen-or-so word sentence makes it out to be. In fact we've been saying it for so long that the season has now slipped into July, with the All Star Game looming. And we're probably wrong for feeling this way but the Cubs are playing with every appearance of time running out on them before they get their acts together.
Then again, if we were fans of the Brewers or Cardinals, I suspect that in our secret places we would be pissed off and perhaps even a little terrified of the fact that our teams have failed to spread the field with a team as potent as the Cubs creeping along behind them.
Perhaps we are so used to this being the Cubs, for gawdssakes, that we are forgetting how we would feel if the Cubs were in the place of the Cardinals right now. We'd be in a panic. We'd be furious at our team for failing to take advantage of a weak division. In other words, even if things were different we'd still be acting the same -- and that says a lot about our sanity or lack thereof. So I'll conclude my tack-on recap with the following, indesputable (not even by you, Rob) observation:
Perhaps it really still is ours to lose.
Rob: indisputable. Anyway, only a moron would state that, statistically, the Cubs are out of the running when they are 3.5 games out with 85 games to go.
However, the Cubs have played .493 ball this year. It is indisputable that they have the capability to play better ball. You may believe they will, due to the logic that they are better than this. I have not seen anything thus far in 2009 to lead me to believe that they are. They have looked like a .500 team from day one. They have some decent days, and some miserable ones.
So do we all, I suppose. Then again, I haven't deluded myself into thinking I am going to win the Employee of the Year at my job, and I am also not going to delude myself into thinking that we will win four more games than the Brewers AND the Cardinals the rest of the way. The Brewers have a better lineup than we do on our best days, and the Cardinals are better managed, both Generally and on the Field.
So, unless we make a good trade, or unless guys like Soto, Bradley, Zambrano and Soriano do an about-face, we won't be able to make up even the meager deficit we have now.
Current Record: 37-38
Position in the NL Central: 4th place, 3.5 games out
Best Possible Record: 124-38
Worst Possible Record: 37-125
Record needed to win 110: 73-14
On Pace For: 80-82
"Besides, the Cubs are playing their next two series against the Brewers and Cardinals"
There is a series with the Braves in between the Brewers and Cards series.
You are correct, sah!
You are correct, sah!
Sam Fuld made a great throw to nail the runner at home. I saw the highlight on ESPN where Fuld flipped after throwing it, but can't find it online. Nice to see a cheap, corner outfielder outperforming our $10M guys.
The Cubs, for what ever
The Cubs, for what ever reason, are under achieving (to say the least) so far this season, yet they are still only 3.5 out. If even a few of the slumpers get their numbers back to normal, and the Brewers and Cards continue as they have been, then we will start to make up ground. I don't think it's reasonable to expect the Cubs to continue to under achieve, and like you guys said, if I were a card/brew fan I would be real nervous right now. The Cubs are a sleeping giant, and that's not the Cool aide talking.
Baseball Prospectus Voodoo
Baseball Prospectus, using their PECOTA voodoo, gives the Cubs a 25 percent chance of making the playoffs (18 percent to win the division, 7 percent for the wild card).
I think that sounds about right.

Change Through Imagination and Fiction: we need to communicate our ideas & visions to make them real.
I have been fascinated by the way how ideas and visions, especially related to new technologies, are communicated in real life (TED Talks, scientific conferences, academe) and in fiction (science fiction, cyberculture). I want to explore certain aspects of creativity, fiction, and technological utopia -- visions of the future, fuelled by innovation, new technologies, gadgets, visions, dreams, rumors related to high-tech and small-scale technologies.
One of my hypotheses is that we need imagination and fiction to communicate our visions in order to foster change; for better or worse. Every innvoation starts as pure fiction, so the more we imagine and envision, the more we will be able to innovate and to channel our imagination for positive change.
A commercial example: Steve Jobs had a very particular idea about personal computers and gadgets; the systems he built (as opposed to the ones Steve Wozniak favored) were (and are) "closed" systems, communicating a vision of completedness and a certain digital lifestyle.
A cultural example: TED Speakers use the TED platform -- and bend to the TED rules -- to communicate their ideas. Many Speakers have had special presentation training, many of them have stunning visualizations of their ideas -- impressive slides, fascinating computer animations to communicate their ideas and partly their fiction of what might be possible -- to share their visions and to help them become reality one day.
A scientific example: scientists come up with theories based on observations, then they try to make them real by experimenting, by observing, by comparing, by publishing papers, by talking to peers and eventually by finding evidence (at least in most cases).
Do you think fiction has the power to provoke change? Do you think we need fiction to give our visions more substance and to push them towards reality? Is fiction in everyday life settings powerful? Is fiction dangerous? Can fiction foster innovation and change?

Thousands and Thousands of people are hurting, within this national and Global economies. here we are, a small Company trying to do our part to Create jobs, and forget about all of the other under-lying reasons, I have revealed to you... Many, many of the public says "Help Create Jobs, and regrow our way of life for the middle class" WE are doing that! Then there is always an "element" of people who try to undermine, any others, like Us Creating better lively-hoods for people, and enjoying what we do/are doing while working together for The Betterment of people of the world.
Why does these "Elements" of people, wherever-whoever they are speed every minute of their days and nights seeking to try to destroy US, or anyone, who aspires to Create, Help, Grow, and Inspires others to achieve. I know, That is the GREAT Question of all Times....LOL
It is just so Ironic that in knowing That Some of US are out here trying to pave better ways of life for many, and YET, CERTAIN "Elements" try to keep Monopolies clamped down, upon us and many small businesses, therefore limiting the Vast Potentials of Economic growth probabilities for many, many people who could benefit.
IN the end, IF These "elements" keep people from economically growing or achievement, then WHO can afford to buy & Purchase their goods and services??
IT all just seems so Criminally arrogant, and selfish, that it also Limits their own possibilities of their own economic lives.
Do you see my Points? "Checks & Balances" that is a Poem, which I wrote, a long time ago.. and it always has, and always will seem to be so, so TRUE! I'll send you a Copy som day, if You like?

Outside The Cage, Letting Your Budgie Fly
Budgies are great at flying. While doing occasional laps of your living room doesnt really show this off, its important for your budgie to get out of his cage and explore a bit.
So how should you go about letting your budgie out?
First of all, you need to make sure that the room is safe. Remember to cover any windows and glass doors, at least temporarily until your budgie learns that he cant fly through them.
Then all you have to do is open your budgies cage door and wait. Dont crowd your budgie, just sit in a chair or stand away from the cage. Your budgie probably wont come out straight away, some budgies dont come out at all the first time you open the cage door.
After a while your budgie will probably hop up into the door way, have a look around and climb up the side of the cage. Talk quietly to him to reassure him and to encourage him.
Once your budgie has got his bearings and scouted out the room he will probably have a quick fly around the room and choose a new perch. Budgies like to be high up, so he will often choose a high place to land. The old cliché about budgies up on curtain rails holds true.
If your budgie does get up somewhere high like that, dont try to grab him or shoo him down. Chances are he will get down on his own if you give him some time. Most of the time budgies make their own way back to their cages when they get worn out from their adventures.
Budgies love to explore, so let him explore the room. Leaving a small tub of seed, come millet or some pieces of fruit around the room is great fun. Budgies forage for all their food in the wild, so they are pretty good at sniffing it out.
Little Accidents
If your budgie is young, or just isnt used to flying then you will probably see some mishaps. Flying into a wall or not quite making it to the perch they are aiming for are good examples.
Unless your budgie looks hurt, then let him get on with it. We dont learn to walk without falling over a few times, right?
If your budgie ends up on the floor, then chances are he will have a walk around and explore. Brandon, a budgie I used to have loved hopping about under the coffee table, and on the floor near his cage, looking for stray seed.
If you dont mind clearing up afterwards, try sprinkling some seed on the floor near your bird. He should love hopping around to collect it.
Time To Go Home
More often than not your budgie will retire to his cage long before you have got tired of watching explore the room. He gets tired out and just wants to go home, have a bite to eat and maybe a drink. The he can sit and preen himself and get some time to relax.
Sometimes you want your budgie to get back into his cage before hes finished playing. If thats the case, then you should approach him slowly from the front, talking to him quietly, and offer him your hand as a perch. Remember to keep your hand below the level of his head.
Once hes on your hand you should be able to grip him properly, or put your thumb on top of his foot so that he cant fly away. Just deliver him back into his cage and close the door.

Lincecum got beat up again, allowing four runs in the first two innings for the second game in the row. Baggardly got an interview after the game:
…. "That first inning (when he struck out three) was probably the biggest positive I can take from today. It was probably the best inning I've thrown in the last few outings actually. I've just gotta get back to that and replicate it."
On going back to his previous windup:
"That wasn't really a factor other than wrapping your head around doing too many things to fix things. That's what I've been doing the last few outings. It's getting back to simplifying things and trying to be as optimistic as possible."
"I've become a big thinker. That's just the way I am. Brain never stops working. You start focusing on the wrong things, or the negatives and they start to manifest and build up on each other.
"I can't keep searching. I've just gotta go out and pitch."
On whether his rough linescore was a result of bad luck or bad pitches:
"I missed my spots here and there. There were a few bloops, but hits are hits and a loss is a loss. So at the end of the day that's the way I have to look at it, and get better from here."
On whether his confidence is shaken:
"Yeah, it can be. You get frustrated when things don't go your way. You just gotta come to the field every day working with a purpose until it comes back and that's what I'm trying to get to."
On what he'll work on before his next start:
"I want to throw strikes, quality strikes, where I want to throw them. The fastball is kind of all over the place right now. But just hitting that down and away fastball. That's what I've got to get back. I just gotta simplify and do what I've got to do."
On the expectations heaped upon him as the staff ace:
"I just talked to Rags about that. I guess any pitcher in his career, they've gone through struggles. This is going to be a learning experience for me, put things in perspective and just build from it. That's what I've got to do."
On Saturday, the NY Times had a piece on the Padres series, and featured a little Lincecum talk:
…. He has had a weird season, making the All-Star team by vote of the players, who ignored a four-start slump in which he issued 20 walks. Lincecum has been better lately, but he lasts only four innings this time in an 8-6 defeat. His earned run average swells to 3.41, about a run higher than it was last season, and he will not win a third consecutive Cy Young Award.
"Timmy will bounce back," Bruce Bochy says. "We have a lot of faith in this kid."
But Lincecum is at a loss. There are many moving parts in his funky delivery, and when flaws crop up, he says, he wants to fix them on his own. His father taught him his mechanics, and Lincecum says maybe he can spot something.
"I've been doing this motion long enough where I want it to become second nature," Lincecum says. "I don't want to think about how I throw it; I canadian levitra fast delivery just throw it. I want to get back to that."
It's all well and good to figure things out for yourself, but there's a reason why teams employ coaches. It's to help players work through the inevitable slumps, league adjustments and recovering from injuries and setbacks. Since Righetti obviously cannot help him, he has to get help from his Dad. The time for working it out on his own is over. His last two starts were, quite frankly, disastrous. In fact, since his outrageous first eight games, his seaosn has been awful. Inconsistent, mediocre, awful.
That the Giants are contending as two of their best young players look completely lost is remarkable. But this cannot continue. Sandoval is watching batting practice fastballs and swinging at curveballs in the dirt. And now Lincecum can't get out the fourth inning.
The time for self-correction has passed. The season is at risk. Call your Dad, Tim. Call his Dad, Brian.
