Day Two: Walla Walla —> Trout Lake, via WA-14
After the Aviary in Walla Walla, we headed back west to start the main part of the trip along the Columbia River Gorge, which is along the Washington-Oregon border for about 3/4 of the state line.
Between Walla Walla and The Dalles area, 3 hours away, we made only one real stop. It's pretty much just desert out that way — not much to do — but there is a hike right outside of Pasco, where the river swings up into Washington via a decent sized lake. The hike is around and up to Twin Sisters rocks. Boy, was it windy up there! But it was beautiful. The top row of photos are all of the Twin Sisters Rocks.
After wandering all around, we put ourselves back in the car and continued on our way. We only made one other stop (at a convenience store where I bought a cucumber-lime-chili popsicle that was way SPICY but delicious) as we drove along through windmill country, before really getting into the truly beautiful parts of the Gorge. We moseyed around the Maryhill Museum and Stonehenge Memorial before driving on to The Dalles.
The Dalles is actually on the Oregon side (fun fact: it has the Eastern-most Burgerville, although we didn't eat there this trip), and by the time you hit this area it's easy to drive back and forth over the border. From the Dalles, I had originally planned to take the Historic Columbia River Hwy to the Hood River area to go to Panorama Point. We did eventually end up at Panorama Point to watch the sunset, but first we jumped back over to the Washington side to spend all afternoon hiking around a few of the Catherine Creek trails (pictures to be posted soon). Note! If you choose to hike these trails, be aware of ticks. We didn't end up getting any, but another couple found 5 on their dog.
Then to Panorama Point (pictures to come in another post), then a late dinner in Hood River (I would not recommend the Big Horse Brew Pub, FYI), and a drive in the dark up to Trout Lake, where we stayed the night at the very, very wonderful and affordable Trout Lake Valley Inn. Honestly, I can't recommend this place more, if you find yourself in the area. The owners are so friendly and they have fresh, made-to-order sweet potato waffles for breakfast each morning. Definitely planning to come back and stay here and hike around the Mt. Adams area and see all the ice caves and lava arches.

The Bulldogs and Bruins finished the regular season tied for second place behind Lincoln in the San Joaquin Athletic Association.
Tracy (16-10, 7-3 SJAA) started the week at No. 13 in the Division II power ratings and needed to move up to land in the middle of the bracket.
The Bulldogs and Bruins (18-9, 7-3) played a close first quarter, but 3-point shots from senior guards Tammy Serrato and Karsi Fyfe in the second pushed the Bulldogs to a 24-18 halftime lead.
Fyfe hit two more 3-pointers in the third, and senior center Shelby Perry, the Bulldogs' top scorer with 16, also hit a series of shots to give Tracy a 10-point lead midway through the period.
The Bruins stepped up the pace in the fourth, and the game became increasingly physical. Senior Shelby Devlin was in the middle of the fray as players wrestled over rebounds and jump balls.
"I got kind of beat up," she said.
She said her team rose to the challenge.
"This was a huge one for us," Devlin said. "There are a few things we still need to work on, but the intensity of this game and the heart that we have will get us ready for playoffs."
The game could put Bear Creek out of the playoffs. The Bruins started the week at No. 16 in the Division I rankings, and the loss could be the difference between staying in the bracket or having to play an extra game to see the postseason.
The section releases the final brackets Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Teams with at least 15 wins that don't make the top 16 in Divisions I to IV will play qualifier games for the final postseason spots Friday, Feb. 15. All other teams begin playoffs Feb. 19.
Tracy sophs win league
Tracy High's sophomore girls basketball team finished the season as San Joaquin Athletic Association champions after they beat Bear Creek, 49-37. Toni Harrison led the Bulldogs (18-7, 10-0 SJAA) to the win with 18 points.
Coach Keith Britt the 12-point victory was the team's 12th consecutive win. He expects most of the players, including 14 sophomores and one freshman, will carry that streak into next season as varsity players.
"Once again, we've got another class that will hopefully take the seniors' spot," Britt said. "This is our future."
Kimball 49, Lathrop 39
Sophomore guard Allie Schmidt led the Jaguars girls basketball team Thursday, Feb. 7, with 15 points in a home win over Lathrop.
The Jaguars (17-8, 8-4 Valley Oak League) took a 30-21 lead at the half. Lathrop (9-16, 4-9) was unable to catch up.
The Jaguars maintain their hold on third place in the VOL, but has two more games — Saturday, Feb. 9, at Sonora and Tuesday, Feb. 12, at Weston Ranch — to determine if they can move up from No. 16 spot in the Sac-Joaquin Section's Division II power ratings.
The Jaguars are assured of a qualifying game if they don't make the top 16.
Stagg 48, West 46
The last game of the season for West High's girls basketball team came down to the final seconds after the team overcame an early deficit and took a 46-44 lead with one minute, 30 seconds left.
But Stagg's defense held up against the Wolf Pack (10-17, 1-9 Tri-City Athletic League), as the Delta Queens (13-14, 6-4) took the lead with six seconds on the clock and blocked West's last-chance shot.
West led by junior Nini Woodward, who scored 12 points. Senior Emma Bell scored 11.

Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time since I've posted last because we haven't been in the woods recently. We decided to get out yesterday and checked out the Wiggin Farm - Tuttle Swamp Conservation Area close by where we live. It's not a huge hike, or really even a "hike", but instead more of a nature walk. I thought I'd share some of my photos here. My full trip report can be found on my blog if you'd like to check it out.
Lots of cedar trees!

Georgian Dog Motif Hardstone Cameo Ring
Cameos have been part of history for millennia. It is a relief carving of any number of different materials, such as shells or stones that represents various people, allegories, deities and other motifs. However, rare is the presentation of the solitary dog, particularly with no additional imagery. Moreover, it is unusual to come across cameos of this date and of the late Georgian period, intact and in its original mounts.
Here is variegated hardstone; the layers of color of the material have been expressively used to bring out the details of the limbs, head and other features. Trotting across the carnelian colored backdrop, the sprightly canine has been rendered in creams and browns. It is set into 15k to 16k rose gold with typical bezel and hand wrought gold work. The tapered sides are adorned with elongated shell motifs and beaded terminals and concludes with a reeded band.
Condition: Good; minute amount of wear to the dog's head; bezel has been scalloped between the claws after the ring was constructed.
Measurements: The cameo and bezel measures 11/16 of an inch (1.8 cm) north to south on the finger by 1/2 of an inch (1.3 cm) in width. This antique ring has a weight of 5.1 grams (3.3 dwt).
Size: US 7-3/4 (UK P; Euro 17.75, 56 mm). This ring can be sized by our team of jewelers. Ring sizing information.
Date; Circa 1810 - 1820

› Cleveland + University Circle
Five miles east of downtown Cleveland, University Circle is one of the city's most energetic and culturally robust communities. It's anchored by Case Western Reserve University and enhances the urban campus experience with some of the nation's best arts, music, historical and medical institutions.
University Circle boasts 550 parklike acres nestled in a vibrant urban environment. It's a short walk from the center of campus to the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall, the Cleveland Museum of Art, botanical garden or natural history museum.
Students cross-register at the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Music, whose buildings mingle with the university's north campus. Meanwhile, dozens of the country's best medical centers — Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth and University Hospitals of Cleveland — call the area home.
And that's just the start. Cleveland's Little Italy bustles just off campus and leads to various food, shopping and nightlife spots &mdash Coventry, Shaker Square and Cedar-Lee, to name a few — in the nearby Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights communities.
Cleveland, Ohio
While the district took its name in the late 18th century from the trolley turnaround between campus and downtown, today the RTA's HealthLine bullets passengers between University Circle and Cleveland's Public Square in 20 minutes. The city's easy to navigate and offers plenty to explore.
Exciting yet intimate, Cleveland is a mid-sized city that boomed in the early 20th century and is experiencing a renaissance that began with sports venues downtown and continues with revitalized historical neighborhoods on the west side and a burgeoning corridor between the city's center and the east side.
It was built as a model American city — businesses at the core, homes on the skirts — so it isn't your typical metropolis. It's better. Cleveland features a patchwork of neighborhoods whose cultural fare and architecture are as diverse as the people. From African-American theatre at Karamu House and indie concerts at the Beachland Ballroom to Friday-night polka-rock in Gordon Square to Saturday-morning shopping at the West Side Market, opportunities abound for the busy life.
The worldwide food press has hailed Cleveland as the "hot new dining city," with top nods for new restaurants, farm-to-table operations, ethnic foods and neighborhood eateries, while a number of the city's arts communities, including Tremont, Ohio City and Collinwood, have garnered national attention.
Ranked as one of the country's most livable cities, Cleveland gets high marks for thriving healthcare and biotechnology industries, the lively arts scene, cost of living and four-seasons climate, not to mention a wealth of natural resources. Lake Erie and the "Emerald Necklace", a system of nature preserves, comprise Cleveland's big backyard and make for optimal outdoor living. The Cleveland Metroparks feature miles of running and hiking trails, bridle paths, ball fields and nature centers. The parks dot and span much of Northeast Ohio, so a trip from the city to nature is only a few minutes away.
Alongside being home to one of the nation's top universities and the best college in Ohio, Cleveland is a big sports fan. The Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team, Cleveland Browns football team and Cleveland Indians baseball team play in venues downtown. And each year during commencement, graduates and their families can see the Cleveland Marathon racing through the city.
Numerous other professional, amateur and leisure sports activities — from minor-league baseball and arena football to corporate softball and triathlons — are in play around Northeast Ohio at any moment, offering countless opportunities to watch, play, win or just catch some of the city's energy.

Mohawk Valley
SENECA COUNTY, N.Y. -- The man accused in the 2008 death of his son has been indicted by a grand jury.

Happy New Years
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on December 31, 2012 - 18:04
Happy New Years everyone! I'm still blogging away at Altertainment which you should hop on over to right now to check out a review I just posted of Digestate: A Food & Eating Themed Anthology.
Post Thanksgiving Day Post
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on November 25, 2012 - 11:35
Just a note as I'm recovering from the annual Amerikuh tradition of over-eating for a day (a day? isn't that the new normal now...) that I am blogging on an irregular schedule about webcomics and other pop culture topics at ALTERTAINMENT.
Consider yourself invited over there.
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on September 7, 2012 - 14:12
Howdy comics fans! Well hope you had a nice summer, I sure did. Still evaluating plans for what to do with COMIXTALK 2: THE TALKENING but I figured I owed someone a post about something.
CONVENTION TIME: Washington DC has both SPX and Intervention happening this month. Plus Baltimore's Comicon is this weekend. When it rains it pours (except when it's humid and it just kind of sticks). I am going to try and make SPX and Intervention this year.
SPX is September 15th and 16th. Going to SPX is like taking a deep dive into comics as comics. \ Very little (NONE!) of the trappings of a more "community" oriented comicon. Although lines have gotten longer over the years also a great place to meet some of the creators of the best comics on the web and off. Plus attendees can vote for the Ignatz Awards.
Intervention is on a different weekend this year, September 21-23 (RELIEF - both cons on the same weekend last year was a killer!) and has more of a general cool stuff from the Internet vibe to it. Still a different animal than a standard comicon but an altogether experience than SPX too. A great list of guests this year -- Shaenon Garrity and Jeffrey Wells, Danielle Corsetto, Jennie Breeden, Pete Abrams, Rob Balder, Christopher Baldwin, Jami Noguchi, actually more more more (I give up, just go to their website).
READING COMICS: I read Drama by Raina Telgemeier. REALLY GOOD - will have a real review up soon. Also got a copy of Superhero Grammar. My kids who are already full fledged GRAMMARIANS said they thought it might be a good book for younger kids learning grammar. (Scholastic gave COMIXTALK review copies of both books). Also saw that AMULET 5 is out -- I need to get ahold of that! I have also been rereading a lot of webcomics over at Comic Rocket; many posts at my new blog ALTERTAINMENT are about that -- check them out.
Summer Sort Of Hiatus!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on June 25, 2012 - 23:07
Just to make it official-like, ComixTALK is on a bit of a hiatus, at least for a chunk of the summer months here in Norte Americano. This website is a project that I love and have had a wonderful time writing for in all of its incarnations over the last almost-but-not-quite a decade, but it's also run out of steam for me. I'd really like to bring it back as something different about comics so stepping away from it will hopefully give me a chance to try and make that happen.
Also, I started a new blog called ALTERTAINMENT where I still do write quite a bit about comics but will mix in other subjects too. For whatever reason, it felt like the right time to make a new home for me somewhere else on the web. It's still a work in progress, but since it's not ComixTALK, I get to make up what it is everytime I decide to post something.

MILESTONES: Super Brophy Brothers celebrates 100 webcomics with COMIC TIME!!!
ComixTalk for Monday, May 14, 2012
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 14, 2012 - 06:50
A slightly random post on what's what recently. I also posted a review of Spike and Diana Nock's Poorcraft over the weekend - be sure to check that out.
DIG THAT DIG DUG: I played the Dig Dug back in the day day so I read with some interest the massive tweetstorm about the webcomic drive to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the game. All of it is organized by ShiftyLook, the Namco/Bandai portal of webcomics based on old video games. The list of creators in on this includes - among others - Brian Clevinger (Atomic Robo), Dean Haspiel (ShiftyLook's The Five-Dimensional Adventures of Dirk Davies), Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik (Penny Arcade), Scott Kurtz (PVP), David Maliki (Wondermark), R. K. Milholland (Something Positive), Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics), Krishna Sadasivam (PC Weenies), Kris Staub (chainsawsuit), Zach Weiner (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal) and Jim Zubkavich (ShiftyLook's Wonder Momo, ShiftyLook's Sky Kid).
LUCKY DUCKY!: Earlier this month Reuben Bolling announced a kind of "club/pledge drive" for his brilliant Tom the Dancing Bug comic. For $9.99 you get six months of inner access to the comics, including insight into the work process. What does it say about alternative weeklies in terms of comics though that one of their absolute superstars has to refocus even more on the web?
Let's Rock This Joint In The Old School Way: Have you all been following Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree over at BoingBoing? It's a super interesting, entertaining look at the origins of hip hop music. I also love the "family tree" icon Piskor uses to show the archives of the webcomic. The latest one is posted here.
COME ON FEEL THE HYPE: I really dig Zen Pencils - which presents inspiring and famous quotations in comic format. Really creative interpretations, more than solid artwork -- I am pondering buying prints of almost half of his archives.
READING HABITS: Has anyone else tried these tools to open different tabs in your browser based on the day of the week? Seems pretty helpful actually and ripe for a webcomic-focused fork.
Poorcraft by Spike and Diana Nock
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 12, 2012 - 10:45
Poorcraft: The Funnybook Fundamentals of Living Well on Less began as a successful Kickstarter effort back in late 2009. It is now a real live book about to drop in on the world this May 20, 2012. Written by C. Spike Trotman and drawn by Diana Nock -- Poorcraft makes excellent use of the comics medium to deliver some very practical advice on how to make the most of your resources. A book that will be pretty handy not only for many starving comic artists but anyone trying to stretch their means, especially when just starting out on adult life.
Spike who is perhaps best known for her Twin Peakseque webcomic Templar, AZ, has done an impressive job here -- the book is well organized and shows a tremendous amount of research and thought. The book opens with a general chapter on the philosophy of "poorcraft" and then moves to chapters organized around practical issues like: housing, food, clothing and health. Spike also covers transportation, education, emergencies and entertainment in other chapters. There is also a huge chapter with additional links and resources at the end of the book. The idea of "poorcraft" is a collection of tips to do more with less, be financially savvy, and take more advantage of free and low-cost opportunities where they exist.
All of which might make this sound like a dry, dull resource book. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a very fun read with all of the information presented as a dialogue between the poorcraft-savvy Penny and her neighbor Mil, who like a lot of us has fallen into a lot of financial and lifestyle habits that most of us don't even stop to question why. Spike makes the comic as much a story as a how-to book, following Penny's efforts to help Mil learn poorcraft and get out of the many financial problems she has wandered into. Between Spike's snappy dialogue for both characters and Diana Nock's fun, loopy, entertaining artwork, the book is a good, fast read. One that you will want to go back to individual chapters to review when you're interested in the particular advice on that subject.
Definitely worth checking out. If I was organizing a "gift guide" from comics -- this would be a great gift for someone leaving the "nest" for the first time. Unlike countless other books on the subject this one is almost certainly going to be the most fun one to read.
Let's Get It Arted... In Heeeere!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on May 5, 2012 - 22:38
COMIXTALK: Making bad puns in the blog post titles since 1886
Welcome to another edition of
Let's Get It Arted eh actually let's stick with:
Ooh, yeah
Kickstart my art
Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby
First off let's congratulate recently funded projects including Tiny Kitten Teeth, Dear Dinosaur, Jet Pack Jenny, Circus Saudade, Spike's Smut Peddler which so far has doubled its funding goal, and Shannon Garrity's Skin Horse 3 Book which has nearly tripled the goal she set for it. Some of these are still live so more money pledged might mean more stuff made.
THIS KICKSTARTER DRIVE IS SO BABIES! Dave "Whatchoo Talkin' 'Bout" Willis is in the midst of a drive to raise the cash to print the first book collection of his newest webcomic Dumbing of Age. He's also said in the project that if this Kickstarter fundraiser reaches $20,000 he will reprint the out-of-print Shortpacked! Book One again.
FUND A WEBCOMIC? This Kickstarter drive, titled "Fund Our Webcomic: Montgomery X. Chesterfield" is actually what it says -- give the project money and Salvatore Pane, Mark Kleman and Kat Larkin will make a free webcomic. "The more money we generate, the more frequently we can update MontyX.com with more free material." Honestly, while I'm not going to begrudge anyone trying anything to help themselves make comics, this surprises me that Kickstarter approved it. Granted they are only asking for 100 bucks but there's no real there there to what the project is funding. It's not even a commitment to a particular update schedule or a number of comics or finishing a story or...
EXPENDABLE: I like the title on this one -- the funds will go to printing a Henchmen for Hire graphic novel which will collect the first story of the webcomic in a large, full-color 140+ page paperback format.
PUSH IT OVER THE LINE: This one is super close to hitting its goal. The elevator pitch for it: "It's basically Beowulf, starring a bunch of nerds. Also, Sasquatch."
TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS: This one looks like a lot of fun -
Tomorrow Jones is about a 14 year-old girl named Tomorrow who comes from a family of superheroes. While she may be strong enough to fold an armored truck into origami, Tomorrow has to pretend to be a normal girl at school. Her father won't take her seriously, and her traditional heroine mother expects Tomorrow to follow in her footsteps. But Tomorrow doesn't want to dress in skimpy spandex though, and starts fighting crime unmasked and simply wearing jeans and a T-shirt with her real initials on it. All the while her parents keep trying to get her to do things "the traditional way" and Tomorrow finds she might be getting in over her head in the superhero community.
ComixTalk for Monday, April 30, 2012
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 30, 2012 - 04:04
Whew - got one more post in before the beginning of May. That brings my 2012 average up to -- what? -- one post every 2.5 weeks or so. Thanks for bearing with me (well whomever is bearing out there in Internet-land). New job, new projects, shifting priorities means less time for ComixTalk which isn't likely to change this year. I do have some great ideas for building a couple of webcomic-focused sites that I really want to use on a regular basis. I suspect others would find them useful too. Unfortunately not sure when any of it will happen.
So COMICS!
iWEBCOMICS: Jerzy Drozd linked to this story on the new Marvel infinite comics format for the iPad. I've always been a fan of the web part of webcomics. But there's a way to stretch comics without breaking it and then there's motion comics... This approach by Marvel looks interesting -- it appears to leave control of the viewing/reading experience in the hands of the reader and it still maintains the panel as the atomic unit of storytelling. I'll be curious to read the reactions from the blog-o-comicsphere.
FINDING NEMO -- AND COMICS: I've checked out Just the First Frame a couple times -- my big problem with it is that as a hand-crafted webcomic, it ain't scalable and that success will kill it. Still I always suspect Lauren Davis is smarter about this stuff from me so let's all give it another look this week.
INTERVIEW: There was a good interview/feature on Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content at Bleeding Cool last week. Definitely worth reading if you missed it. (And if you missed Lauren Davis' review of the webcomic from earlier this year - also worth reading)
KICKSTART MY ART: Charles Cutting has a Indiegogo campaign going to fund The Dream Quest of Randolph Carter - a print version of his graphic novel adaptation of a H.P. Lovecraft story. You can read the comic online to check it out.
In Search of... SCIENCE!: PhD Comics has comic-fied an interview with physicist Daniel Whiteson who discusses the search for the Higgs Boson particle at CERN (PhD Comics also did a similar comic-fied take on dark matter).
MAILBAG: Richard Pulfer writes that his webcomic, Blue Yonder (illustrated by Diego Diaz and written by Richard Pulfer and Luke Perks) is starting its second storyline:
When readers last saw Jared Davenport, aka Blue Yonder, the young hero had flown the coop from Claremont Apartments after learning his new allies included an ex-cop convicted of stealing evidence and a black ops solider with an even more checkered past. Will his old friends, the police-themed N-Forcers, be any help in locating his missing family? What about Voltra, the young girl who befriended him at the run-down Claremont Apartments? The answers to these questions and more will be revealed when Blue Yonder continues its weekly updates on Wednesday.

A great overview/interview of Richard Thompson, creator of Cul De Sac over at BoingBoing. I really love Cul De Sac -- I wish it had a more organic webcomic presence because as great a newspaper comic strip as it is, newspapers just don't appreciate great comics like they used to.
AWARDS: I completely agree with Lauren Davis' reaction to this year's nominees for an Eisner Award in the category of Best Digital Comic. My extremely quick reaction was pretty similar but Lauren is a real journalist and so actually constructed sentences and presented coherent thoughts. Still I suspect she might agree with my final thought:
This year's [EISNER Best Digital Comic] nominees in particular feel like a world where instead of the Emmy awards, the Motion Picture Academy had just added a "Best Television Movie" category to the Oscars.
RAMBLING RAMBLING RAMBLING MAN: I had just fallen out of following writer, cartoonist, van-traveling troubadoor, LORE SJÖBERG, so it was a bit of a surprise to see his blog turned into a travelogue as he and his amazing van travel the country. Fun stuff - worth catching up on if you aren't already following him.
KICKSTART MY ART: Keith Knight just finished a successful kickstarter campaign and lived to tell about it. Actually he posted some tips on what he learned from his effort that are pretty useful ideas.
FORMATTED FOR YOUR COMFORT: Boing Boing writes up the "Advanced Comic Book Format (ACBF)" which is a free/open format for online comic books.
ACBF has a lot of cool features: support for creator metadata; per-panel/page definitions; multiple text-layers for multiple languages; text formatting and style data; auto-indexing and more. The format is CC-BY-SA, and can be found on Launchpad, along with GPL'ed viewers for GNU/Linux and Windows.
EVENTFUL: I don't know why I'm stumbling on to Rare Words so late to the party but the Internet is a biiig place I guess. Rare Words is a blog where Mark Burrier draws sketches based on phrases submitted through the website. There will be an exhibition of his work this June at the Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland.

A high priority at CHANEL has been and still is to stop sales of replica handbags.
CHANEL has been continuously monitoring the internet for pages which exhibit and offer counterfeits for purchase and sale. Legal proceedings against counterfeiters including but not limited to civil filings and criminal complaints are commenced when appropriate.
We urge anyone, or knows someone, who is thinking of buying a fake Chanel to recognize the fact that to buy a replica handbag is to invest in supporting criminal activity. We therefore ask that everyone thoroughly avoid purchasing replicas.
To dealers of replica handbags, remember to take into account that we will continue watching and we will take action.

My Week Through Instagram: Week Twenty-Seven & Twenty-Eight
Here is post two today: this time I'm recapping weeks twenty-seven and twenty-eight of my Instagram photos. I am so excited to be more than half-way through this project of a photo a day. And I haven't missed a day yet so I'm proud of my progress. Are you doing any kind of daily photography project? How is it going so far?
Sunday: These pink blooms are prospering this summer. The trees are all around my neighborhood and a few are in our backyard. It's like springtime in summer.
Monday: A morning cup of chai tea. Yum.
Tuesday: I go through cycles of what I enjoy for breakfast. Right now I'm loving vanilla greek yogurt and granola. The cute Anthro bowls make it even more enjoyable.
Wednesday: I shared this DIY project on the blog, a how-to for making your own gold air plant terrarium. It is super simple and air plants are the easiest things to care for.
Thursday: We watched fireworks from our house this year. One show we could see from our front yard, another show from our deck in the back. I liked this shot of a single firework with the street lamps.
Friday: Spent the evening catching up with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. This included live music at a local outdoor music festival. It was my kind of evening.
Saturday: Someone has a sweet, old yellow Volkswagen in my town. Lucky!
And now for week twenty-eight:
Sunday: My teacup when it's all gone.
Monday: I love our local library. Actually I'm quite partial to all libraries. They are so special to me. And I love the smell of old books. Is that weird?
Tuesday: I picked up the classic Walden at the library. I have never read it. So far the pages are enlightening and quite the inspiration for a simple and natural life.
Wednesday: My Mom found this set of notebooks with this cute leaf graphic and she let me have one. I will always take a fresh, new notebook. I am a bit of a notebook hoarder actually. I have a handful in my desk that have yet to be used. A crisp, new notebook holds such possibilities don't you think? It's kind of magical. It is just waiting for you to fill it up with treasures.
Thursday: Brother came home for a few days. Whenever he is here the house is filled with music: he sings, plays guitar, standup base and piano. It is beautiful and comforting. I like having him home even if it is just for a bit.
Friday: Washi tape! This is just a small part of my ever-growing collection. My friend Nic just recently discovered how fabulous it is and now he knows how addicting it can be. Do we need to form a washi support group?
Saturday: I visited Unique LA's summer show yesterday in Santa Monica (fantastic show as usual!) and then got an early dinner with David (brother) in Silverlake. He is looking for an apartment out there currently. We stopped in at Food+Lab on Sunset. Perfect restaurant, my kind of place. Simple design with some industrial details, welcoming vibe and delicious food. Be sure to visit if you're in the area.
So that concludes my month-long recap for today and now I'm all caught up.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (April 20, 2013)—Summer Exclusive will shorten up, switch to turf and drop in class in the $70,000-added Harry Henson Stakes when Betfair Hollywood Park begins its 75th anniversary season Thursday.
A six furlong event for 3-year-olds, the Henson, which honors the legendary track announcer who worked at Hollywood Park from 1959-1982, is the seventh of eight races. Post time is 1 p.m.
Owned by a partnership that includes Chandler, Fink, Gencarella, Trzos, Topol and Altamira Racing Stable and trained by Peter Miller, Summer Exclusive was seventh of eight in the Grade I Santa Anita Derby April 6 after breaking into the game with a one-length victory against 11 opponents March 2 at Santa Anita.
An Exclusive Quality colt out of the Wild Rush mare Summer Dream, Summer Exclusive has earned $33,850. Miller is seeking his second Henson victory after winning with Backbackbackgone in 2009.
Colburn will be trying to stay perfect on grass for Macho Uno Racing and trainer Doug O'Neill.
After four defeats over the Santa Anita main track, Colburn switched surfaces March 30 and responded with a 1 ½ length victory at about 6 ½ furlongs over the Arcadia track's hillside layout.
The Heatseeker colt out of the Mutakddim mare Go Ask Daisy has banked $42,380.
O'Neill will also be represented by Meringue Pie, a Sakhee's Secret colt out of the Royal Applause mare Queen's Pudding. Owned by Argentum Racing Stable, Joel Meredith and Eric Sword, Meringue Pie has one win in eight starts and earnings of $20,994.
The English-bred is 0-for-4 in the United States. His lone victory came against maidens at the Henson distance last July 26 at Epsom in his native country.
A $16,000 claim by trainer Art Sherman for owners Robert Bach, GP Stables LP and William Tesser Feb. 7 at Santa Anita, Sacred Ovation was defeated by a nose in his turf debut April 4.
Bred in Florida by Irv and France Weiner, Sacred Ovation is a gelded son of Congrats and the Unbridled's Song mare Unbridled's Jane. He's won two of six and earned $58,960.
Trainer Jeff Bonde, who won the 2010 Henson with Excessive Passion, will send out My Jealous.
Idle since finishing fifth in the Everett Nevin Alameda County Stakes last July 8 at Pleasanton, My Jealous is a gelded son of Halo's Image and the Helmsman mare Windjammin Lady.
Owned by Bonde, Barry Arnason, Victor Flores and Mersad Metanovic, My Jealous is 1-for-2. He broke his maiden by 4 ¼ lengths in his debut at Pleasanton last June 24.
No Contingency was fifth in the same optional claimer in which Sacred Ovation was second earlier this month in his initial appearance for Pinner Family Trust and trainer Danny Velasquez.
A Put It Back gelding out of the Wild Event mare Dixieland Event, No Contingency has one win in three outings and a bankroll of $29,120.
From inside out, the field for the 61st Harry Henson Stakes: Colburn, Tyler Baze rides, 117 pounds; Sacred Ovation, Joe Steiner, 117; Meringue Pie, Mario Gutierrez, 117; No Contingency, Joe Talamo, 117; Summer Exclusive, Garrett Gomez, 117 and My Jealous, Edwin Maldonado, 117.
The opening day program also includes the first 2-year-old race of 2013 in Southern California. The 4 ½ furlong contest, which offers a $52,000 purse, attracted seven California bred or sired fillies. It goes as the second race.
During the 49-day Spring/Summer meet, which concludes Sunday, July 14, post time is 1 p.m. daily with three exceptions – 11 a.m. on the Triple Crown days (May 4, May 18 and June 8).
There is only one deviation from the usual Thursday-Sunday schedule. Betfair Hollywood Park will race Monday, May 27 (Memorial Day).
Regular prices are $10 for general admission and $20 for Turf Club. Seniors 55 and older will receive a $5 discount – with Gold Club card – Thursdays. All prices include parking and an official program.
The popular Players' Pick 5 also returns. A 50 cent minimum bet, the wager covers the first five races daily and continues to feature a reduced takeout rate of 14%.
There is also a carryover provision should no one be able to isolate all five winners with 100% of the net pool carrying over to the next racing day.
Highlighting a stakes schedule worth more than $6.8 million are the $350,000 American Oaks and the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup.
The 12th running of the American Oaks will be Saturday, July 13 along with the $200,000 A Gleam Handicap, the $150,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship and the $150,000 Landaluce.
When the Gold Cup is run for the 74th time Saturday, July 6, the program will also include the $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile.
The $300,000 Shoemaker Mile and the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap, both to be run Saturday, June 29, as well as the aforementioned A Gleam, are Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In'' races. The Breeders' Cup nominated winner of those races earns an automatic berth in the corresponding BC event. The 30th Breeders' Cup will be run Nov. 1-2 at Santa Anita.
There are 47 stakes on the calendar, including six Grade I races, nine Grade II events and seven Grade III's. There are 10 days with multiple stakes races, beginning with the $1.1 million California Gold Rush Saturday.
The first Grade I of the meet is the $250,000 Gamely Stakes. The 1 1/8 mile turf race for older fillies and mares will be run Monday, May 27.

Kian Frederick from Public Citizen will be with us first, to address likely timing of a "Smart Track" bill by Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden. He tested the waters in hearings last week but we don't know what he's proposing so for now we're in "watch and wait" mode. We will continue to oppose any form of "Fast Track" – a process used to push secret backroom business deals through Congress with little debate and no amendments. Because you've asked, we will also touch on the recently leaked Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) text.
Emilianne Slaydon from TPP Media March will share details for this Tuesday's TPP Twitter storm (spoiler alert: the theme is "The World Trade Cup!") Tweets are up 24-7 – click to copy and paste: bit.ly/TPPMediaMarch
The Battle for Public Opinion Rages on: PDA's Co-Executive Director Andrea Miller will bring us up to date on "Countdown to Coverage," our fight to get mainstream newspapers and other media to tell the truth about "free trade."
Our CWA allies have a plan for countering the latest TPP "Love Letter" from the Denver Post editorial, and Dave Felice with CWA should be on hand to fill us in – and encourage other cities to follow this example.
PLUS: We'll share a link to a new activist toolkit from Public Citizen for your July 4 recess week actions (it goes live Monday afternoon - just in time you're your district office meetings Tuesday through Thursday!)

Taste the Wine: Antique Day Night Amethyst Earrings
The decades of the 1860s and 1870s found the popularity of earrings on the upswing. Novelty was the name of the game and nature was in the air. The earrings of this period were meant to be amusing and have a tad touch of whimsy. These jewels for the ears were meant as an accessory for the season and typically were fashioned as such. This pair of Victorian earrings stands in stark contrast to that dictum.
Painstakingly designed and crafted with a substantial use of 14k – 15k yellow gold, these day night earrings employ a grape cluster and grape leaf motif. The grape form was often worn a symbol of the celebration of life in a Dionysian sense. Perfect for the sotto voce of Victorian culture and sensuality.
The top surmount, which can be worn solo is a flowerhead of four (4) faceted round natural amethyst surrounding a flower-like gold center. Suspended from the top is a fitting of a grapevine and connected to a three-dimensional grape leaf form with the engraved element featuring the same design back and front. A grape cluster of eight (8) natural amethyst set in collets with serrated edges finishes the pedant day night earrings. Original back to front ear wires make for a perfectly secure fit.
Date: Circa 1860.
Measurements: 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in length including ear wire and 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) without by 9/16 of an inch (1.4 cm) at the widest. Weight of 5.3 grams (3.4 dwt) for the pair.

After dealing with insurance companies, adjusters and a car rental,we felt the need to do some unfinished business by hiking Middle and North Moat mountains. We had hiked South Moat in the winter of 2010 and liked the views so much that we wanted to make a return trip to these nearby peaks. Since we were staying at the Lodge at Jackson Village this would be a convenient escape back to the woods. After the moose incident we didn?t want to be driving the dark roads at night any time soon.
Arriving at the trailhead near Diana?s Bath off West Side Road we began the mostly level wide trail past the fall and onto the Red Ridge Trail. Several blow downs were still strewn across the somewhat moist path.
We were confused by the many unmarked trails branching off the Moat Mountain Trail east of intersection with the Red River Trail. I think more blazes and signs are needed along this section to direct the hiker to the proper route. As a matter of fact blazes along the trail were nonexistent. We had the same problem in the winter of 2010 down at the southern end.
We reached the junction with the Red Ridge Link Trail at 9:50 am and continued on through damp conditions see lots of mushrooms, some with unusual colors; like this purple one.
Crossing a small brook without any difficulty we began to climb and soon reached an open ledge; our first view of the day.
Just past the view the trail continues ascending to a neat set of rocks which require the hiker to ascend through a narrow clef with good footing.
Throughout the hike we would play out different scenarios as to how the situation with our van would play out. Just above the aforementioned rocks our cell phone rang and it was the body shop manager at Arnold?s in Lincoln, letting us know that the vehicle was not totaled after all and that it may take about 2 weeks to be repaired.
Taking a short break, we continued on to another viewpoint where we could see Whitehorse Ledge and Cranmore.
Around 12:30 we reached the part of the trail that opens up onto rocky ledges. Care must be taken so as not to lose the trail.
We reached the junction with the Moat Mountain Trail just before 1 pm and had another break to ?refuel?. We shared a delicious crumb cake which we bought at Big Dave?s Bagels the day before. I don?t know if it was the sugar or just the fact we were hiking again, but Michael got to urge to do some ?planking?.
The trail going along the ridge need work and some was evident as a crew must have cleared a section by chopping a tree in half.
We reached the Middle Moat summit at 1:40 where we enjoyed cold pizza and the views.
Now back to the junction with the Red Ridge Trail and onto North Moat. The same trail conditions persisted toward our next goal with blow downs and untrimmed vegetation. Blazes were few and far between.
There were several interesting sections along this portion of the Moat Mountain Trail with steep pitches and large walls of granite. At 3:45 we reached the summit of North Moat where we were treated to magnificent views in every direction. Sunbeams radiated through the clouds in one direction and encroaching bad weather from the other direction.
Now it was time for the long descent over open ledges, rocks and sections of soft moist earth. We even saw a ?fairy ring? and I believe bear scat.
We finally reached the junction with the Attitash Trail at 5:30 where we had a snack and sat down after the long descent. Only 2.4 miles to go. The trail now parallels Lucy Brook and along the way are some nice waterfalls.
We made excellent time along this section and in no time we were back at Diana?s Bath at 6:15.Except for the small portion of the Moat Mountain Trail between South and Middle Moat we now have completed all the summits in the Moat Range.
Hopefully, we will be back the end of next week to pick up our restored van and maybe include a hike or two.

Celebrations for patron saints and the Virgin Mary are the liveliest of Portugal's festivals. You'll find music, dancing, plenty of color and streets full of flowers. Annual religious festivals are an ideal way to discover the culture and traditions of the Minho, replete with processions, music, special costumes and re-enactments of important events. The Flower Festival held in Madeira after Easter is a riot of blooms, beginning with thousands of flower-bedecked children flock to take part in building a mural of flowers called the Wall of Hope. The next day, dozens of flower-laden floats leave ephemeral perfumes in the air, as do the floral carpets brightening up the streets.
Fiesta! Enumerating the festivals in Spain is not quite possible, there are so many in every region. Madrid hosts a huge International Dance Festival annually that attracts dance companies encompassing the full range of dance styles, from classical to avant-garde, including Spanish and flamenco dance. Fancy some time travel? Streets decked out like the Middle Ages, magnificent processions and exciting mock battles mark the 400-year old festival of Moors and Christians: days filled with magic, legend and spectacle.

Festival of Fools involves 75 artists from all over, 130 wonderful performances and 100,000 belly laughs.
Dedicated to the theme of light and energy, the Winter Lights Festival really cheers everyone up after a long dark winter in Iceland.

To assist graduate students planning a
course of study, the School of Media Studies has defined several areas of focus by creating clusters of
associated courses. Students can choose one of the school's areas of focus,
described below, or design their own areas of focus in consultation with
faculty advisors.
In 1919, The New School opened its doors to all "intelligent men and women" committed to studying the "grave social, political, economic, and educational problems of the day." The university's historical commitment to the arts and progressive education, combined with its activist mission, draws students and faculty who are committed to social change and seek creative means to bring it about. Media are tools for change, and the MA in Media Studies program offers many courses that examine how media have been employed in building communities, promoting reform, and creating awareness of today's urgent problems, as well as courses that prepare students to create transformative media.
The curriculum in media management prepares students to tackle the challenges posed by new and emerging media technologies and evolving corporate structures. Students are trained in key areas of communication and convergence in the 21st century. Courses address industry perspectives, media management and leadership, media economics, information technologies, competitive strategies, and corporate responsibility. Students can take individual courses in this focus area or complete 12 credits and a synthesis paper and receive a graduate Certificate in Media Management in addition to the master's degree. Students who complete the certificate curriculum gain in-depth experience analyzing and writing case studies and leading and participating in group projects. They are mentored by the program's distinguished faculty members and build networks with their peers.
In recent decades, scholars and practitioners of urban studies, art history, architecture, urban planning, sociology, and anthropology have paid more attention to the role of media in planning and designing urban areas and the impact of media on cityscapes and city dweller experiences. At the same time, scholars of media and communication studies have taken a greater interest in urban communication. The convergence of interests between media studies and design, between the university and urban contexts, makes The New School an ideal place and now an ideal time to investigate the relationship of urban studies and media studies and the way these fields interact with the city itself. In Media and the Urban Environment focus area, students and faculty together explore the ways
This focus area incorporates existing courses and new service learning initiatives and draws on the resources of other divisions of The New School and of New York City as our urban laboratory.
New York is a global city, and The New School is a global university. The media we create are disseminated around the world, and the media we consume reach us from the far corners of the earth. Media Studies emphasizes internationalism as part of its program. Partnering with the university's graduate program in International Affairs, the program offers a selection of courses on international media. Each semester, several courses of the Milano School's graduate program in International Affairs are cross-listed in Media Studies. Students are also encouraged to look at other related International Affairs courses and those of the university's other graduate programs as well.
The New School's history of social and political engagement and New York's inexhaustible supply of people, places, and events to document make the Media Studies program ideal for study documentary media. Students focusing in Documentary Studies explore the art and history of the documentary and investigate and help shape its evolving forms. In media methods and media practice courses, students create their own documentaries in a variety of formats—audio, video, Web-based, and multiformat.
In the contemporary media landscape, film as an idea and practice has entered into complex "hybrid" relations with other media forms. The School of Media Studies offers students both critical and creative ways of approaching this topic. Seminars and workshops explore subjects and themes related to film history and aesthetics, and others offer a more interdisciplinary approach. The program offers a sequence of five courses (15 credits) for students who wish to focus on the theory and practice of filmmaking. In the first three classes, students engage with the conceptual and expressive parameters of film through seminars on aesthetics and hands-on experiments in labs and workshops. In the final two courses, students take practical and theoretical knowledge and skills a step further, developing a 15- to 20-minute final project to be shot on 16mm film or digital video. This project may, with the permission and supervision of an adviser, be submitted as part of the student's thesis project.
Sound Studies is in the DNA of The New School and its radical pedagogy: Hanns Eisler, Aaron Copland, and John Cage were members of our faculty, and the New School auditorium (now called the John L. Tishman Auditorium) served as a prototype for the modern acoustics of Radio City Music Hall. Today the critical and socially conscious thinking promoted by The New School shapes the study of sound in a variety of contexts—music, dance, architecture, film. Given the university's rich history of sound scholarship and production and its location in New York City, The New School is well positioned to produce progressive interdisciplinary research, teaching, and practice in the field of acoustic environments. MA students who focus their program on Sound Studies and Acoustic Environments take six courses: Fundamentals of Sound Studies, two audio production courses, and three sound seminar electives. Students in this program carry forward the radical ideals of The New School's founders through independent work and cross-divisional collaboration.
Media Practice cultivates understanding of and proficiency with design and production. The curriculum calls for students to conceive and execute projects, from start to finish, employing individually developed design approaches and using industry-standard equipment, software, and techniques. Rather than focusing on mastery of equipment and software, the program emphasizes the ways media production formats facilitate communication. Courses frame technical training within the context of design and production conceptualization and research. The curriculum promotes a cross-platform or comparative approach, enabling students to analyze the way processes, tools, and media formats—interactive websites, video podcasts, mobile apps—foster communication and function in relation to other media platforms. Students develop an understanding of and proficiency with the aesthetic and technical capabilities of each production medium and explore the relationships between these media. Media Project courses offer students experience and challenges beyond the level of Media Practice courses, requiring students proficient in a particular format to apply their skills and aesthetic sensibility to more complex media messages. Cameras, microphones, audio recorders, and other production tools are provided. Students work with digital images in the production and postproduction stages using university digital editing workstations with current software. In-class listening and viewing, analysis and critique, and assigned readings provide support and context for production work.

WICHITA — The Brickyard in Old Town is going to become a restaurant in addition to a bar this fall thanks to two retransplanted Wichitans.
"We've been having these conversations for the last 10 years or so," Drew Thompson says of himself and Travis Russell, a buddy from back at North High School.
"We were at the point we were either going to do it or not."
Thompson is a lawyer in Seattle. Russell is an adjunct fine art professor in the St. Louis area who has spent years in the restaurant business. His parents, Mark and Joni Russell, own the Brickyard and Mrs. O'Leary's Mercantile next door.
Thompson and Russell are returning to Wichita to open Public at the Brickyard, a type of gastro pub that will be open for brunch, lunch and dinner.
"What we envision it to be is a communal restaurant," Russell says. "Our plan is to really include local vendors."
Thompson says, "Quality ingredients is the key."
They plan dishes such as gourmet grilled pizzas with homemade dough and smoked chicken and waffles. Russell likes putting twists on traditional dishes, such as using tomato marmalade for a BLT.
They'll be able to seat about 200 inside and more in the courtyard in nice weather.
The two are just beginning renovations, which will include the addition of a lot of architecture salvage pieces. For instance, Russell says they scored maple flooring from a former brewery in St. Louis to make new table tops.
"It's going to be a pretty intense transformation in the next 30 days."
