An Interview with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez
By Mario A. López & Eduardo Arroyo Pardo
Guillermo Gonzalez is an Assistant Professor of Astronomy at Iowa State University. He received his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1993 from the University of Washington. He has done post-doctoral work at the University of Texas, Austin and at the University of Washington and has received fellowships, grants and awards from such institutions as NASA, the University of Washington, the Templeton Foundation, Sigma Xi (scientific research society) and the National Science Foundation.
Gonzalez has extensive experience in observing and analyzing data from ground-based observatories, including work at McDonald Observatory, Apache Point Observatory and Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. He is a world-class expert on the astrophysical requirements for habitability and on habitable zones and a co-founder of the "Galactic Habitable Zone" concept, which captured the October 2001 cover story of Scientific American. Astronomers and astrobiologists around the world are pursuing research based on his work on exoplanet host stars, the Galactic Habitable Zone and red giants.
Gonzalez has also published nearly 70 articles in refereed astronomy and astrophysical journals including The Astrophysical Journal, The Astronomical Journal, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Icarus and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. He also is the co-author of the second edition of Observational Astronomy, an advanced college astronomy textbook.
This interview was originally conducted in two parts by IDEA Center staffer, Mario A. Lopez, with collaboration from Eduardo Arroyo Pardo for the Pro-ID Spanish website, Organizacion Internacional para el Avance Cientifico del Diseno Inteligente (OIACDI) (formerly Ciencia Alternativa).
EA: Dr. Gonzalez, can you explain with the easiest words your field of expertise within astronomy and physics? In your opinion, which of all these matters is the most controversial one?
GG: I have expertise in two general fields within astronomy: quantitative stellar spectroscopy and astrobiology. The first involves the use of high resolution spectra to determine the basic properties of stars, such as surface temperature and chemical composition. The second is a multidisciplinary research program which attempts to determine which conditions are necessary for habitability.
In addition to these two conventional research areas, I also do Intelligent Design (ID) research in the physical sciences. This is by far the most controversial research I conduct. But, astrobiology research is also controversial. They are controversial, in my view, because some people dont like the implications of the research findings.
EA: Have you intellectually evolved from the standard way of doing science? In other words, how did you come to the actual position?
GG: While those who reject ID as legitimate science would say I have deviated from the accepted or standard way of doing science, I would say that ID research I do is science. If science is a systematized method to discover truths about the universe through observation, then ID certainly qualifies as science. If, instead, science is defined by edicts from the governing bodies of scientific organizations, then ID does not qualify as science. So, I would say I am simply following the evidence wherever it leads. And, if that evidence leads me to conclude that the universe is designed, then I can only be honest and accept it.
I came to be a supporter of ID first from the evidence for fine-tuning in physics and cosmology and later from the evidence we present in The Privileged Planet.
ML: What was most influential for you in accepting ETI? What was most influential in changing your mind?
GG: The huge number of stars in our vast universe was the deciding factor for my original support of ETI. I changed my position on ETI when as a graduate student I began to examine the many factors relevant to a planets habitability. I learned that much must go just right for a planet to be habitable. To determine the probability of ETI, it is not enough to understand that there are vast numbers of stars and planets. It is also necessary to factor in the many habitability factors. Over the years the list of habitability factors has continued to grow, resulting in probabilities for ETI that continue to drop.
EA: Can you explain us the concept of Galactic Habitable Zone? Why do you think this is so relevant?
GG: The Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ) concept describes how habitability varies with place and time in the Milky Way Galaxy. Two broad classes of processes define its boundaries: threats to life and planetary building blocks. The inner regions of the Milky Way are more dangerous, while the outer regions contain fewer planetary building blocks. As a result of these trends the region of greatest habitability takes the form of an annulus in the disk of the Milky Way.
The GHZ concept is relevant to both astrobiology and ID. The GHZ is another factor that must be included in any calculation of the probability of ETI in the Milky Way Galaxy. As we show in The Privileged Planet the GHZ is not only the most habitable location in the Milky Way, it is also the best location for doing astronomy research. This is part of a broader pattern of evidence for design we discuss in The Privileged Planet.
ML: Many others in your field or related fields have acknowledged that it appears as though a super-intellect may have monkeyed with physics. Why are your ideas so controversial? Arent they drawing similar conclusions?
GG: Yes, I am drawing similar conclusions to those cosmologists and physicists have been making since the 1950s. For this reason I expected that scientists in the physical sciences would be more receptive of my ID research. Indeed, several scientists have endorsed or positively reviewed The Privileged Planet. I think my work in ID has become controversial because of the general controversy surrounding the evolution/creation/anti-Darwinism debate. The same people and organizations who have strongly opposed creationism and criticism of Darwinism in the past now oppose ID. And, they often lump creationism together with ID and fail to distinguish between ID research in biology to ID research in the physical sciences.
The passion behind the recent opposition to ID clearly comes from militant atheists. They see the conclusions of ID research as challenging their deeply held materialist beliefs, which they equate with science itself.
ML: You have paid dearly for being involved with the ID movement, has it been worth it?
GG: It has been difficult, but I would do it all over again. I have made a number of important discoveries in astronomy, but none can compare in importance to my research in ID. So, yes, it was worth it.
EA: Can you explain to the Spanish-speaking public how was your conflict with Iowa State University? Do you feel that there is some kind of academic prosecution within the American educational system?
GG: I was targeted for public criticism and condemnation beginning a few months after The Privileged Planet was published in March 2004. A small group of vocal atheist professors at Iowa State University (ISU) began to publicly criticize me in local newspapers and public forums on campus. I dont mind criticism. In fact, I expect it. The criticisms reached a new level in June 2005 when a documentary based on the book was shown at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. James Randy, a prominent skeptic, orchestrated a national campaign to try to get the Smithsonian to cancel the showing.
Two months later, over 100 faculty at ISU, led by atheist professor of religious studies Hector Avalos, signed a petition statement condemning ID. Although my name was not mentioned in the petition, I was clearly the target; Avalos had been publicly criticizing me since the fall of 2004.
In the fall of 2006 I came up for tenure review. The physics and astronomy faculty voted against my tenure in November, and the President of ISU came down with his final negative decision the following spring. Since then, I have been appealing the decision, first to the President and then to the Board of Regents. Today, my appeal is still being considered by the Board of Regents.
Statements made by the chair and several faculty of the physics and astronomy department make it clear that my ID research (The Privileged Planet book, my work on which was officially approved by ISU when I arrived in 2001) was the determinative factor in denying me tenure. This is clearly an infringement of my academic freedom. The faculty let their prejudices against ID influence their votes on my tenure.
At this point, I think it is not possible for a known ID proponent to be hired in a science department at a major American university. There is overt viewpoint discrimination taking place at American universities.
ML: Will your conflict with Iowa State be included in Ben Steins upcoming film, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed?
GG: Yes, I was interviewed for the film. My understanding is that my story will be included in the film when it is released in the spring.
EA: Can you explain a short synopsis of your work The Privileged Planet?
GG: In The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery, Jay Richards and I present evidence for design using data from the physical sciences. Specifically, we showed that the same conditions that result in the most habitable locations also produce the best overall settings for scientific discovery. We reached this conclusion after examining evidence from the atmospheric, geologic and astronomical sciences. The correlation between the conditions for life and the conditions for scientific discovery is improbable and it is not necessary. The correlation is what one would expect if the universe is designed for discovery, but not otherwise.
ML: Peter Ward, co-author of Rare Earth, called your work on The Privileged Planet crap. Considering that you were instrumental in tying the various strains of the Rare Earth argument; how do you feel about Mr. Wards comment? Has your relationship with him changed since your involvement with ID? Why?
GG: Peter Ward is a very emotional person, and he often reacts emotionally to ideas that challenge his. He ceased collaborating with me in 2001, immediately after learning that I was an ID proponent. He made very clear to me at that time his intense dislike of ID. This occurred long before my book was published, so he already had a bias against ID before reading it.
ML: What is your take on the multi-verse hypothesis? Does it have implications for the so-called anthropic coincidences?
GG: I consider myself to be a skeptic of the multi-verse hypothesis. I dont see how one can have conclusive observational tests of other universes, or even of other domains of our universe. Nevertheless, I must remain open to possible existence of unobservable universes. If (and thats a big if) a large number of other universes actually exist, then they could account for the observed anthropic coincidences. Whether they could account for the most impressive examples of fine-tuning would depend on how many other universes there are. In principle, this self-selection bias only accounts for necessary conditions for life. Of course, we do not actually know such universes exist, so this remains a speculative explanation for anthropic coincidences.
But, the evidence I present in The Privileged Planet goes beyond just fine-tuning of the necessary conditions for life. The evidence for the fine-tuning of conditions for scientific discovery cannot be explained by appeal to self-selection from multi-verses. This doesnt mean other universes dont exist, just that they cannot account for the particular properties of our universe. In other words, we live in an extravagant universe, one that has some properties beyond what is necessary for our existence.
ML: Apart from all of the ad hominem attacks, have you met any formidable challenge against your work in The Privileged Planet?
GG: In Chapter 16, The Skeptical Rejoinder, we presented what we considered to be the most important criticisms of our thesis (including some not so important ones). These are criticisms we either thought of ourselves or encountered from scientists and philosophers while we were still writing the book and speaking at public venues. We have not heard a criticism that we did not already address in the book. Probably the most frequent criticism has to do with the multi-verse hypothesis.
ML: Do you have plans in writing another ID related book?
GG: Right now I dont have plans for another ID book. I might write a new version of The Privileged Planet with a chapter updating the science, somewhat like what Mike Behe did with Darwins Black Box.
In 2004 he co-authored The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery with Jay W. Richards.

Make Your Own Slippers
By Saakshi Khanna; Illustrations by Shinod AP
The things you need:
1. The soles of any old pair of slippers.
2. A sheet of foam (1/2 inch thickness)
3 Cotton or flannel cloth (one square metre)
4. Ribbons
5. Adhesive
6. Scissors
Step 1: Cut the foam in the shape of the sole.
Step 2: Double the cloth and trace out the shape of the foam. Draw another boundary one centimetre away from the traced boundary. Cut the cloth from the outer boundary.
Step 3: Run a stitch on the inner boundary, joining the two cloth pieces leaving an opening to insert the foam. Turn the cloth inside out and put the foam. Then, complete the stitch. You can back stitch either by hand or on the sewing machine.
Step 4: Repeat the same procedure to make the strap. This time cut the foam into four identical, rectangular bands - two straps for each slipper. Remember, you have to make two folds to get four equal-sized cloth covers for the straps.
Step 5: Spread the adhesive on the complete sole. First stick one end of the strap and then the foam, which you have covered with the cloth. Finally put some adhesive on the other edge of the strap and fix it underneath the foam.
Step 6: Make a bow with the ribbon and stick it on the strap. You can also do some embroidery on it.
The slippers are ready to be worn but hey, don't be in a hurry. Let the adhesive dry for some time.

Support [for Wolfe's view that fascism wasn't coming to America] came from a quarter I hadn't counted on. It was Grass, speaking in English.posted by Steven C. Den Beste at 12:34 AM on March 14, 2007 [4 favorites]
"For the past hour, I have my eyes fixed on the doors here," he said. "You talk about fascism and police repression. In Germany when I was a student, they come through those doors long ago. Here they must be very slow."
Grass was enjoying himself for the first time all evening. He was not simply saying, "You really don't have so much to worry about." He was indulging his sense of the absurd. He was saying: "You American intellectuals — you want so desperately to feel besieged and persecuted!"

THIS STORY ISN'T DEAD!31 Reviews
New chapter coming to you guys very, very soon- please read!
I'm so incredibly sorry it's taken this long for me to even write you guys a note to update you on what's happening. I won't bore you with the details as to why I've been off FicWad for so long, because the main thing is that I'm doing a lot better now and I've been writing the next chapter to this story. I seriously can't live without writing, without this story and without you amazing, lovely people who have stuck with this through everything. I promised you I'd finish this story and I will; how could I not?
I know it's been almost five months, so I hope at least one or two of you are still reading this and forgive me for how long I've been away. Like I said, I won't bore you with why I've been absent, but please just know that my reasons have been perfectly valid, much as I wish they weren't.
Needless to say, I am very busy with my new schoolwork at the moment too, so I can't update as much as I like. However, I promise you guys that this next chapter will be up by this Sunday. I don't break my promises, okay?
I'm so excited to continue this- I miss it and you guys so much it makes my heart hurt.
Please don't give up on this, because I haven't.
I hope you guys don't hate me too much. Thank you so much for all your words of encouragement and support. I honestly can't explain how much they mean to me.
Lucy xoxo

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - 78 recruits are graduating today into the ranks of the Michigan State Police with four of the new troopers headed to Coldwater to beef up the local post presence. Also, one of the graduates is a former Coldwater City Police officer, David Pipe, who is being assigned to the Rockford Post.
The new graduates will boost the number of troopers statewide to 965. That compares to the high point for the Michigan State Police, reached 11 years ago when there were 1,344 troopers. The next recruit school begins at the end of this month with both schools funded through Governor Snyder's public safety plan unveiled in March.
It's hoped the new troopers can reinforce some of the communities around the state that have been seeing a reduction in their local law enforcement numbers.

From these works and others, he is highly regarded as a pioneer of funk and of politically conscious African-American music. He was also a multi-instrumentalist who played the guitar, bass, piano, saxophone, and drums. Perhaps most notably, Mayfield was among the first of a new wave of mainstream African-American R&B performing artists and composers injecting social commentary into their work.

I needed a new bag but the only one I have is this plain faded blue canvas messenger bag= boring.
Therefore I decided to make some Homestuck buttons to decorate it!!
So yes, after finishing this sheet, I realize they are pretty plain, especially as far as homestuck goes. Also, LOOK AT ALL THIS OPEN SPACE!!
So to make this more exciting(?) for both of us, I promise I will make a pin of whatever* photo/scene/etc. you guys send me! Reply or reblog with a photo and I'll add it to the bag~ Please help!
ALSO perhaps if you guys are helpful (or even say hello) I'll send you some free pins!

CAD39.99Request Desk Copy Request Exam Copy
Every country has a different term for it: In the United States it's "pickup." In Trinidad it's "taking a sweat." In Brazil it's "pelada" (literally "naked"). It's the other side of soccer, those spontaneous matches played away from the bright lights and manicured fields—the game for anyone, anywhere.
At sixteen, Gwendolyn Oxenham was the youngest Division I athlete in NCAA history, a starter and leading goal-scorer for Duke. At twenty, she graduated, the women's professional soccer league folded, and her career was over. In Finding the Game, Oxenham, along with her boyfriend and two friends, chases the part of the game that outlasts a career. They bribe their way into a Bolivian prison, bet shillings on a game with moonshine brewers in Kenya, play with women in hijab on a court in Tehran—and discover what the world looks like when you wander down side streets, holding on to a ball.
An entertaining, heartfelt look at the soul of a sport and an eye-opening travel narrative spanning two dozen countries, this book is proof that on the field and in life, some things need no translation.
"Any reader inclined to enjoy energetic writing about soccer will love this book. But Oxenham has brought to this extraordinary project not only a player's enthusiasm, but also a thoughtful writer's sense of humor and eye for the magnificently unlikely moment that takes her endeavor beyond the game . . . Finding the Game suggests powerfully, if playfully, that we are connected. All of us. In that suggestion, there is hope . . . A joyous antidote to the newspaper's front page." —NPR's Bill Littlefield, "Only a Game"
"It's not just an adventure that all of us would have liked to have had. Oxenham can write, too. A brave account of soccer as a universal language." —Simon Kuper, New York Times bestselling author of Soccernomics
"In Finding the Game, Oxenham goes on an international quest to document soccer as a pickup game that brings promise and joy in even the least promising and most joyless venues. In the course of her travels, she proves beyond a doubt that sports is not only a pervasive second language in every culture, but also one she speaks with perfect fluency. Her book is as charmingly observed as it is beautifully written." —Madeleine Blais, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle
"Through soccer, Gwendolyn Oxenham discovers and delights in the gifts, on and off the field, that 'the beautiful game' can bring. As she says, 'the best games are marked by a failure to refrain.' So are the best stories. Hers is proof." —Alexi Lalas, National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee and analyst for ESPN and ABC Sports
"I knew Gwendolyn Oxenham and her group had made a terrific documentary film, but it takes completely different skills to write a compelling book. She has achieved that feat here, fashioning a journey narrative about pickup soccer that's filled with the details of a seasoned observer/adventurer. I enjoyed it from start to finish." —Grant Wahl, New York Times bestselling author of The Beckham Experiment
"Oxenham reintroduced me to some of the rules of soccer and life, that I had forgotten. When Oxenham wrote, 'You don't talk if no one's ever seen you play,' I immediately knew where she was coming from and headed . . . An unparalleled journey that invokes more than just passion for soccer." —Rob Stone, ESPN commentator
"Finding the Game proves the reality of the phrase 'Soccer is the world's game' and shows that the idea of playing a sport for the joy of it still exists. Gwendolyn and her friends used their passion for soccer to meet people and visit places that would have been unimaginable to most of us. Best of all, she allows the reader to become a part of the adventure." —Chuck Korr, coauthor of More Than Just a Game
"More than just a book about the sport, Finding the Game transports you around the world with humor, wit, and excitement on every page. You don't have to be a sports fan to devour this book." —Anson Dorrance, Head Coach, UNC Women's Soccer; National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee
"The youngest Division I athlete in NCAA history, Oxenham was a soccer star for Duke at age 16. By 23, she felt like a has-been, but she still loved to play. Her love of the sport in its least-official form, pickup games, birthed a documentary film project in which she, her boyfriend, and a crew of two traveled the globe looking for games. Their tenacity is remarkable. Despite financial and language barriers, they play with sheep-shearing gauchos in Uruguay, with hardened criminals in La Paz's infamous San Pedro Prison, in an Arabs-against-Jews contest in Jerusalem, and with salarymen on a Tokyo rooftop. The most memorable sequences take place in the slums of Nairobi, where the poverty is overwhelming, and Tehran, where it's illegal for women to play with men (she gets a game anyway). Oxenham avoids platitudes but gracefully shows how playing together can unite us more than shared worship of famous teams. Soccer fans will love this, but anyone who enjoys shoestring travelogues will like it, too. They'll all want to watch the film, Pelada." —Keir Graff, Booklist
"The friends go to interesting places and play lots of futbol, but it is the people they meet—a superstar who just happens to be a tiny girl from a Brazilian slum; criminals in a Bolivian prison; Arabs and Jews who grudgingly play against one another in Jerusalem—that truly make the young travelers' point that sometimes sport can be more than just a game . . . Imbued with both the spirit of youth and the wistful longing of past travels . . . a proud testament to her favorite game." —Publishers Weekly

@ head8…
GOOD JOB so far for NEW MANCHESTER…VERY NICE win over NORTH PAULDING! You have an easier game at home this week against WOODLAND / BARTOW…and baring some odd occurrence (don't sleep on them they beat you last year 13 to 12)…
Your first trip to "THE BONEYARD" on the 20th should have NEW MANCHESTER coming in as UNDEFEATED at 4 / 0 and sitting on top of Region 5AAAAA!!! WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
EAST hopefully will be 2 / 1 at that point depending on the outcome Friday night at PAULDING COUNTY…and could…crossing fingers, toes, everything…COULD have the starting Senior QB back. IF that happens and Mitchell can play, then in spite of EAST "DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS" Head Coach you will have a hard time leaving with a win!
On the other hand if EAST still has to play using the two back-ups we could see the unthinkable and NEW MANCHESTER could be sitting on top of Region 5AAAAA at 5 /0 and staring at it's first playoff berth! Stay tuned after this Friday…

Additionally, Sumathi holds a Ph.D. in music under noted ethnomusicologist Dr. S.A.K. Durga, and her thesis focused on varnam-s for voice training and creativity. She is widely published, having written articles for the Sangeet Natak Akademi, Sruti Magazine, and more. Her music reflects an understanding of the nuances of Carnatic music. Being fluent in several Indian languages, she possesses a repertoire of songs from all over India.
Carnatic Vocal Duet
Sunday Early Evening
with Anuragini and Vedashree
6pm - Sep. 21st, 2014
@ Subterranean Arthouse
Anuragini & Vedashree are talented carnatic vocalists in the bay area for whom music is a passion. They are learning music from Vidya Subramanian, an accomplished artist and a passionate guru carrying forth the legacy of Padmabhushan Lalgudi Jayaraman. They have soft and mellifluous voices that blend well. Vedashree was a disciple of the musician Akila Siva. She has performed at various sabhas in Chennai. Anuragini started learning music at the age of 8 from Padmavathy Ananthagopalan, a prominent veena player. She has given many solo performances and was a member of the classical music club "Ragamalika" in BITS, Pilani. Currently she is under the tutelage of Jayashree Santhanam.
about the sangati centerFounded in 2006 by Gautam Tejas Ganeshan, the Sangati Center has hosted more than 400 public chamber concerts of Indian classical music. Sangati Center concerts are distinguished by being presented strictly acoustically, with nothing amplified or plugged in, and with humans rather than electricity being responsible for the sound - recalling an age-old approach where musicianship retains the focus in lieu of elaborate production.
Our concert series has connected hundreds of artists with thousands of listeners. Admission has always been on a sliding-scale, with nobody turned away for lack of funds. Concerts have tended to attract between 30 - 60 listeners. The Sangati Center has earned support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Alliance for California Traditional Arts, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Zellerbach Family Foundation, San Francisco Foundation, and others.
The word sangati in Sanskrit means "coming together", as opposed to sangita, which means "singing together", (which many people mistake as our name, understandably.) While sangita is also a general word for music, sangati has another, specifically musical meaning - it is the principle of development whereby a melody evolves by iteration.

A teenager who escaped from Richland Police Tuesday morning and abandoned a stolen undercover police car in Jackson, has been captured in Attala County.
Richland Police said Albert Thompson, 16, was in custody in Attala County and that the shotgun taken from the police car was recovered in Jackson.
Kosciusko Online reports that Attala County deputies got a tip that Thompson might be at an apartment complex in the town of Ethel. When they went to investigate, they found him hiding between two mattresses. They said he was not armed and was arrested without incident.
Richland Police were planning to travel to Attala County Tuesday evening to pick him up.
The ordeal began when Thompson was being interrogated Tuesday morning at the Richland Police Department about several house burglaries. He asked for a drink of water.
"A Detective turned his back for a second, out the front door he goes, legs shackled," said Richland Police Chief Russel James. "Got in a car that should have been locked and shouldn't have had keys in it but it did, so just the perfect storm this morning."
Police believe Thompson armed himself with a police-issued shotgun in the trunk of the stolen cruiser before ditching the vehicle in a west Jackson neighborhood and fleeing on foot.
Swarms of police concentrated their search efforts on Central Street, where the gray Dodge Charger was abandoned. It is a densely populated area behind Jackson State University.
Area neighbors were warned to take all precautions.
"We'll get him back. We'll get him in custody," said James. "We'll get the shotgun back, and when he gets in custody, he'll stay in custody this time."
Thompson faces multiple felony charges.
Justin Marquis Echols, 20, is Thompson's alleged partner in crime. Echols remained behind bars in Richland facing a laundry list of charges including house burglaries in Hinds County and Rankin County.

A Taste of Paris in New York
Local photographer Alfred Gonzalez's first exhibit — of his own work
Gonzalez remembers working a whole summer to buy his first camera. His father, also a photographer, loaned him his first lens.
In college, Gonzalez pursued both architecture and photography but ultimately realized photography was to be his true passion. In 1994 Gonzalez opened his own gallery and fused his interests by focusing on architecture photography.
Gonzalez's current exhibit at Gallery 71, at 71st St. and Lexington Ave, depicts his first trip to Paris in 2000, as well as later trips. He says the trip to Paris most represented in the exhibit was a family vacation and "seemed like a good place to start." Gonzalez's own children are occasionally sprinkled throughout the prints, posing behind and around monuments and sculptures, subtly bringing the images to life.
"These are some of my largest pieces," he notes. "It's inspiring to see them on the walls — the images are more impressive the larger they become."
"It validates it to see [the photos] at their best possible production," he adds, of the experience of showing his first exhibit.
Gonzalez points to a photograph of the famed Arc de Triomphe, indicating a tiny figure whose features are crystal clear, explaining this clarity becomes possible with a larger negative size. Gonzalez's photographs do not give themselves away all at once — one must examine them carefully to catch such exquisite detail.
Surrounded by his sizable black and white prints, Gonzalez explains that unlike many photographers he has not yet made the switch to digital photography. Indeed he's a bit wary of the transition.
"There's so much to learn," says Gonzalez. He says learning digital is nothing like applying the skills of film photography. "I like the feel of a film-based camera, and I still have thousands of negatives."
Gonzalez describes the experience of attending a wedding and realizing these days everyone is a photographer, snapping away.
He also notes that digital photography is a completely different process and kids who learn photography in the digital age are missing out on the valuable experience of "what an image should look like." Gonzalez adds the dark room is a therapeutic place, even for up to eight hours at a time.
Still, he concedes digital editing is beneficial for reducing the cost of the photographic process.
Gonzalez, who "decided it was time to share [his] passion of a medium that has frozen moments in time for so many generations," says his next show will be "New York," both its architecture and its people.
Find more of Gonzalez's work and gallery details on the Gallery71 website.

i wish this was my hg powder compact because its clinique so im expecting it to be an excellent product, but i was disappointed because this doesn't work for me...it gives me just a sheer coverage which i don't like and i don't feel the matte effect that im looking for...i once use this to set my revlon colorstay liquid foundation, and wasn't satisfied because i can still feel the stickiness and see some shine on my face. The only thing i like about this is the sleek packaging that looks elegant but other than that i wont repurchase.
I never go anywhere without this! I mainly use this as a touch up powder throughout the day or as a layer over my foundation if I want extra coverage. It's the best! It looks really natural without that cakey, powdery mask feel that other pressed powders tend to have. It's nice and matte on my oily t-zone and does not break me out. Staying power is great and you don't need to use a lot so it lasts forever!
Giant plus for the super pretty, retro packaging! Looks like my grandmas bathroom tiles. I love it!

I only use this as a powder and I really love this. I have been using this for years and have no desire to try anything else. Gives very nice thick full coverage, but I also use a foundation underneath. Its wonderful. def. recommend this product.
I use this powder over the make up for many years. It helps to cover well any imperfections and skin is looking good.
This product USED to be my HG powder. It was a perfect colour match, kept me from looking too oily and all was nice. But then Clinique went and changed pretty much ALL of their makeup formulations to contain Lecithin. As in Soy Lecithin.
I'm incredibly allergic to soy and it makes my skin break out. There are a LOT of people allergic to soy, so I think it's unconscionable of Clinique to claim their products are allergy tested while including an ingredient millions of people are allergic to.

Bought this to set my teint idole ultra 24hr foundation, and does its job perfectly.
It stops shine but doesn't look cakey or dull the natural semi dewy finish of my foundation. Only need to touch up once or twice during the day :)
Lancome's powders are $86 AUD, and I just can't justify spending that much on powder lol, so cliniques pricetag of $50 is alot more appealing, especially since it's great quality and everything I want in a powder!

i love this face powder. i don't need much coverage but for the little that i need on a regular day out its perfect. on a night that i go out it's quite build able and gives a good coverage too without getting cakey or nasty looking. it leaves my skin looking natural, and smooth.
i like to mainly use it for my redness on my cheeks and it definitively tones it down to almost invisible just a bit pink which is OK bc then i don't need blush hehe..
I really like this powder. I use it by itself everyday as a foundation, and it covers just enough for me. Its the best coverage powder I've tried, but it's not anything amazing. It lasts all day without letting oil seep through, and is a good setting powder for foundation too! When used as a setting powder it gives more coverage to my foundation.
First of all, this powder foundation is very limited in its range of colours. I found a good-enough match but it is extremely heavy and although I do NOT have oily skin, I was shiny within a couple hours (even with my favourite primer). I regret purchasing it and it is now in my makeup graveyard. It is just unbelievably thick and mask-like. Zero, and I mean zero oil control. In fact the thickness caused my face to appear shiny when I never have that problem otherwise. There are hundreds of powders that out-perform this but it is a good price point and comes in a nice, simple package.

PBI This has been reformulated and no longer contains mineral oil or lanolin...YAY! I recently went back to this as I was wanting a decent coverage powder fndt to set liquid since I need the coverage. This wears so much better than the old version. I am NC 20 and wear matte neutral. It is a true neutral but the more yellow version cream is too light, so neutral works. Also at 21 bucks for .35oz isnt bad at all for department store brands considering Lancome powders are at cheapest $29 for .35, MAC $23 for .35 and Estee Lauder $27 .40oz (Lucidity) or $35 Double Wear .42oz when THAT one originally had .49oz for $32! Also this has a very tiny ingredient list and no spf which I actually wanted because I dont play nice with SPF anyway...Looks bad in pics, oclusive to pores, and makes my face itch. I am a powder whore so I am very picky about how much comes in a compact for the price since I use it up fast. Also for reference, as far as drugstore brands like L'Oreal, .30oz those can run as high as $15 in some places, and most I have found suck. Since powder sets your overall look, I dont want to cheap out on wear and finish and lasting power for the sake of saving a few bucks because in the long run, I will hate it, go buy something else, hate that too, etc....and I couldve just bought a nice powder in the 1st place and actually saved money, time, gas, and a few bad face days. Also...for those of you giving this lower ratings due to no oil control...it doesnt claim to. It is formulated for skin type 2 which is dry in cheeks and normal in the tzone. Not for oily skin or oily tzones. If you want a Clinique powder fndt for more oil control try the Perfectly Real Compact Powder Makeup. That is for skintypes 2,3, and 4. Sorry to rant about that, but it is irritating when a product gets an unfair rating when it is used on the wrong skintype and expected to do something other than what it is intended for...kind of like when people complain that a light moisturizer for oil control dries the hell of out of their faces when they have dry skin to begin with....ummmm did you read the lable? Rant over.

The Jackson kids got a second visit from the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services over the infamous stun gun incident ... and TMZ has learned they may come back for more.
Sources tell TMZ social workers came over to the Jackson family compound in Encino and interviewed the kids -- but we're told they may not have enough information and could come back tomorrow.
This is like the 15th board on this subject. It sure would be easier if TMZ would ease up and let people post on the same board.
won't it be like the 4th visit now?
just ridiculous
Authorities, media, etc....tried to destroy Michael for most of his life. Now his children.
Take the kids! Take the kids!
The kids would be better off in foster care than living at that compound. Their only hope is to have some actual parents instill some values, common sense and reality to these kids lives before it is too late.
Otherwise, these kids are going to be making the tabloids for all the wrong reasons in 10 years.
Just take those poor kids out of that house of horrors and be done with it.
This is a "Stun Gun Caper" alright - hahahaha
Always in my heart!!!!
This is just tragic. These kids were raised to be good people and now they either have to live in this chaos or hope the woman who rejected them changes her mind and wants them. Blanket is the most vulnerable since he is so young to be exposed to such bad influences from his older cousins 9, 13, 18, 20, 25. Those kids need to be separated. MJ3 need to go live with Grace. Or better yet, kick all those parasite out of MJ's house and sell it. Jermaine and Randy need to grow a pair and take care of their own offspring. Katherine is a pushover and cannot protect MJ3 in that house the way it is now.
Jesus Christ it's like every time i actually get on TMZ all i see is something about the Jackson's. Let me sum it up for you...Within the days and years to come you'll know that all the Jackson's have way too much botox, all named their kids something outrageous and stupid, and they are all terrible parents who just want media attention. Wouldn't it be easier for TMZ to just say that in one post and save their workers some time and not have to update something about the new Jackson's new ridiculousness every ten seconds.
I know the media loves to go after anything JACKSONS but if child services are coming back for a 4th visit seems to me something is going on at that house....it does not take that long to interview people over a 4 minute incident that the Jacksons are claiming happened! We have already heard that the taser gun was confiscated by security before the kid got his hands on it. Then it went to him opening it in a bathroom and testing it on paper! If they need to take another day to investigate I would think there are several different stories going on there that they are trying to sort out..IMO:)
Jermaine is not taking responsibility for his kids. But look at his behavioral history denial seems to underscore it. Jaafar is out of control and could have killed someone with a stun gun. Good for DCFS for coming in and checking on the incident. Jaafar & the others need to leave the house and be sent off to boarding school in Dad, Mom and Granny cannot watch them properly. This appears to be the only way to instill the concepts of responsibility and discipline in a generation that missed getting it.
Do these gossipers have teenagers? NANCY GRACE has two kids, when they become teens she will see how hard it is and TMZ and the other gossipers if they have kids they wouldn't be passing judgements.
OMG!!! that's TOO MUCH!!! but then again when it comes to DCFS, that's the way they operate, they act like gestapo. they keep on coming back like leeches. They always do on many, many affected families nation wide, Canada and USA and UK. everywheres. It's all about the money...
When DCFS find nothing will stick, so they will find more allegations to make it "stick", possibly because of the stupid video that surfaced with Jaafar smacking his brother which happened THREE YEARS AGO or FOUR YEARS AGO!!! they will make "sibling rivilary" stick and if the parents/caregivers allows it, they can be removed.
DCFS just looking to pass the buck...it's all about the money.
Just leave them alone. They have the best care MORE than an average single family ever could have!
Where is Jermaine in all of this mess. I'm shocked now word from him, he always have his nose in everything now when it comes to his kid not a peep.
Now I see why Michael did not want to be bothered with his family.

LAKESHORE, MI (WKZO) -- They have now recovered both bodies lost off Saugatuck Dunes State park earlier this week.
22 year old Bradley stoner's body was found just before 10:30 last night three miles south of the Saugatuck peir. Stoner was from Livonia.
Soon after they called off the search, yesterday afternoon the body of 46 year old Daniel Reed of Redford was spotted by swimmers near Oval Beach, about two miles south of the spot where they vanished.
The two men They waded out in the 4 to 6 foot waves on Tuesday and were knocked off their feet and swept away from shore by rip currents. Efforts by others on the beach to save them were beaten back by the surf.
The men were either unaware or had ignored red flag warnings.
Over 2-dozen have died in Lake Michigan so far this summer, more than any other of the Great Lakes, mainly because of the rip-tides.
The lessons about rip currents continue to be learned the hard way.
A veteran of dealing with such rescue efforts, Ottawa County Sheriff's Sergeant Keith Koeman, can't stress enough the importance of "safety first." Swimmers can learn from surfers, who never go out without a wetsuit, and a board and take other precautions.
Koeman says posting lifeguards at the state parks would help, but he understands the economic impossibility of that right now.

Chef Rui Correia, known for his Portuguese fare at the now-shuttered Oporto in Hartsdale, is the proprietor of this new restaurant serving Portuguese dishes. Among them: charcoal flame-grilled meats with piri-piri (a fiery red-pepper sauce). Also on the menu: grilled salmon with zucchini, chickpeas, and feta; and pan-seared butterflied steak topped with a fried egg and garlic sauce. Dine outside on the cozy patio hidden in back. Open every day for lunch and dinner.
Best Portuguese (2012)
Imagine a Portuguese take on a chicken-and-ribs joint—but one by Chef Rui Correia, the man behind Greenwich, Connecticut's wildly popular Douro Restaurant Bar. Piri-Q's name is a blend of Portugal's spicy piri-piri sauce and good old American barbecue, which sounds just about perfect on a warm summer night.
