Les Robbins was Long Beach's 5th District city councilman from 1988 to 1998. A retired sheriff's deputy, he chairs the L.A. County Employees Retirement Association and he writes a weekly column for the Beachcomber in the Los Altos area.
Question: You seem to have a good time terrorizing Republicans in your column.
Answer: I enjoy being able to vent. I don't mind telling people exactly how I feel. I share many personal feelings and strong personal beliefs. Politicians have to be very careful about how much of their personal feelings they share with the public, because it will come back to haunt them. If I had any thoughts about running for office again - which I don't - I would lose because I've shared too much about how I feel. But I enjoy doing it because it opens things up for debate.
Q: But debate has become idiotic these days. People just call each other names. It's ugly. I miss the days when Gore Vidal and William Buckley used to debate on TV. They were both so intelligent.
A: And when they got finished debating, they'd go out and have cocktails and steaks. I go to D.C. a couple of times each year and things are so divisive and so brutal. The whole goal is the kill the other party off and screw the American public.
Q: How congenial were things when you were on the council?
A: We worked great together. We had Republicans, like Jeff Kellogg and Ray Grabinski, and Alan Lowenthal and I were Democrats, and Mike Donelon was a little of everything. But our goal was not to propagate Republican or Democratic ideology, it was to do the city's business in public.
Q: How have things changed in that regard?
A: Term limits changed things. Now people in the council look at each other with one eyeball: Who might be my opponent for Assembly or Congress? They make decisions based on their next political move. It's a very dysfunctional group of people who look at each other as future opponents instead of working together to run the city.
Q: You're practically an Alaskan. How many times have you been up there?
A: My wife Cindy and I have gone to Alaska every summer for 23 years. Sometimes two times a year, sometimes three. I used to hunt, but I haven't done that for eight or nine years. I do a lot of nature photography now. I think the only thing I'm going to shoot anymore is with my camera, This summer we're going on a National Geographic ice-breaker cruise ship and take pictures of polar bears. And we just booked a photo safari in the Serengeti. Taking wildlife photographs takes a lot of patience and a lot of luck. Last year we were in Alaska taking pictures of the bears, and I sat there for five hours, then all of a sudden there were bears frolicking around. I got all my shots in 10 minutes. It's like police work: hours of boredom interspersed with sheer terror.
Q: Isn't the 5th District on the east part of town the easiest one to represent?
A: Well, the 5th has always been the most homogenous district, so from a racial and socioeconomic standpoint it's a pretty constant level of problems. You don't have these highly volatile issues that they have in other districts. But the people in the 5th demand a lot. They don't put up with bad stuff. Their tolerance level is much lower. Believe me, it kept me very busy for 10 years.
Q: What's the worst thing to happen to Long Beach in terms of finance? Proposition 13? Norm Ryan's Proposition J?
A: You hit on two of them right there. I think Prop. 13 has outlived its usefulness by far, and it hurt a lot of programs and services in Long Beach. The (Prop. J) utility user tax cut was a huge hit to the city's bottom line. We're not providing services that we should. We aren't hiring cops, we're not replacing ones who retire. The Fire Department is going to have to close Station 18 soon. They're taking paramedics off units and replacing them with less qualified EMTs. Parks and Recreation has been severely hit. The infrastructure in the city is horrible. So between that and the economic downturn - and look at the taxes we've lost from home telephone taxes. I still have a land line, but more and more people are just going with their cellphones now. And our good friends in Sacramento have taken almost all the property taxes from the cities. It's just a bad, bad situation.
Q: The term "liberal" has become a pejorative for a lot of Americans, but you don't seem to mind being called one.
A: I don't consider myself a liberal, but the Republicans have moved things so far to the right, it seems like I am. I'm pro-death penalty. I'm an NRA card-carrying gun-toting guy. But I'm also a union guy. I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes. I care about the old, the poor and the middle class. And Republicans don't. If that makes me a liberal, then, sure, I don't mind being called one.

The massiveness of the famous venue at San Diego Comic-Con affects both fans and business.
Jack Regan (Ray Winstone) is a detective with a chip on his shoulder and a frown on his face. He leads an elite crew of London police officers known in Cockney slang as "The Sweeney." The men in this squad wear leather jackets and military haircuts. If they shave, they use dull razors. Their women are eye candy, and not much more. Somewhere in the laundry list of clichés, there is a movie here that we have already seen and forgotten.
The Sweeneys target armed robberies, finding culprits with such speed that you figure London must be a very small city. As the film opens, bandits burst into a warehouse full of gold. Meanwhile, the officers head toward the crime scene, making humorous small talk. They arrive with guns blazing and fists swinging, so relentless that they blur the line between law enforcer and lawbreaker.
Ray Winstone is perfectly cast as the gritty cop. He has a likeable quality as a thickheaded bloke with his own morality, slowed down by a pair of plastic reading glasses. He philanders with the wife of an Internal Affairs detective, though there is no emotion, beyond a few moments of contrived tension. He steals from crime scenes, if only to raise the stakes and make things a little more exciting.
This material might make for a compelling crime drama, but the film does not exploit its opportunities. The character of Jack Regan offers promise, but very little depth. In contrast, Winstone's performance in "Sexy Beast" was full of life with minimal action. Here, he is that usual movie cop who relentlessly chases after his prey — a jewel thief — breaking all the rules while destroying expensive cars. We have seen him before, decades ago, on late night television.
The rest of the characters are completely dimensionless. Instead of a story, the film immerses itself in a sleek, bluish tint. It recycles corny lines, too-familiar plot twists, and preposterous action scenes. Regan finds himself in a shootout in a parking garage, with enemies hiding behind cars. Somehow, in this very small structure with very loud echoes, they manage to quietly sneak into their getaway car, then quietly kidnap his girlfriend.
Plot developments appear as coincidences: a random moment in a video, an unintentional glance, an improbable encounter. Runaway crooks spice up the chase seens by bumping into bystanders. Suspense grows not through escalating drame, but through pounding soundtrack. This is not suspense; it's just distraction. The film feels like it's aspiring to be the London counterpart to Michael Mann's "Heat" (1995) or "Miami Vice." Instead, it struggles to keep pace with "Boondock Saints," which was more preposterous, though less clichéd, at least for its time. "Saints" survives as a cult film, though I do not expect this movie to do the same.
"The Sweeney" is based on the 1970s UK hardboiled detective series of the same name, which I have not seen, save for a few YouTube clips. The show peppers its action with dry wit, recalling (or perhaps inspiring) the Bond movies of the same era. Its light influence on British pop culture recalls the occasional "Starsky & Hutch" references we find in the United States.
The movie "Sweeney" is merely an exercise in style over substance, apparently taking nothing from the show except for a few relationships and lesser moments of dialogue. Last fall in the United Kingdom, "The Sweeney" made headlines by opening at the top of the box office, though it did not last long. It is probable that audiences were nostalgic for the old series, but that resulted in little more than a blip at the box office. In the United States, however, the series is mostly unknown, and with this film, is likely to remain that way.

Roberto Cavalli Fall 2013
Roberto Cavalli has never been one to shy away from technology, and has made digital imaging a particularly exuberant hallmark of his prints. Lately though, the Italian designer has been craving a more artisanal approach to his work, and that old-world nostalgia led him back to the drawing board—or more specifically, the painter's easel. Using the artwork of sixteenth-century masters like Caravaggio and Rubens as a springboard, Cavalli created a series of floral and baroque tableaux that were woven into the new collection. His motifs were often re-created by hand on the clothes, and those sitting in the front row today were able to trace the colorful brushstrokes across the back of a sleek leather blazer, for example. Elsewhere the patterns were embedded into fabrics in more tactile ways—case in point, the two devoré velvet tuxedo suits that came down the runway in royal blue and purple.
Like several other designers this season, Cavalli and his wife and creative partner Eva have been pondering the idea of modern armor. He sought the help of local centuries-old Florentine ateliers to put his ideas into action, incorporating fur and leather into an intricate chain mail on an army of models in shimmering black thigh-grazing minidresses. That darker mood is in keeping with what we've seen so far, although ultimately his vision and craftwork were filtered through a romantic lens: Unravel the cubist latticework on pleated miniskirts, and his soft petal-strewn paintings reappear.

Rita Ora took the plunge…into a vat of blue hair dye.
The normally bleach blonde Brit singer had a serious Katy Perry moment today, tweeting "Today it's smurf day " and posting this picture:
How long will her blue period last? Well, she used the hashtag #bluehairday, which implies it has a 24 hour expiration date. Too bad—we kinda think it's smurftastic.
What do you think of the new 'do? Don't?

Sen. John Valentine, R-Provo, lived up to his surname on Friday arranging some wild hugging and kissing on the Senate floor.
He lured the family of Phil Lowry a former law partner who had been deployed with the Utah National Guard in Afghanistan for the past nine months to hear a Senate citation honoring him and his wife as examples of service offered by many military families.
They listened at the front of the chamber as Valentine read the resolution. Then Valentine said, "Imagine what it's like to have the reunions that happen when these soldiers come back. Let's stop imagining: Capt. Phil Lowry" and a door opened as Lowry emerged.
He was mobbed by the seven of his eight children who were present with hugs and kisses. Finally, his wife was able to break through and join in.
The Senate gave a standing ovation throughout the reunion. Afterward, anxious to have more private time, Lowry asked simply, "How do we get out of here?"

Bridging the connection essentially means that the host OS will leach off the host OS's connection without any NAT rules etc. In other words, if the connection works in your host OS and you can make NAT work there is no reason why bridged mode shouldn't work as well.
I personally use this mode on my macbook and have not had any issues with it. The only preparation I do is to make sure the connection is working in the OSX before I start up VMware.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has tapped Bay Street dealmaker Nigel Wright as his new chief of staff. A look at the men who have held the job.
Guy Giorno took over as Mr. Harper's chief of staff in July, 2008. The Toronto lawyer had served as chief of staff to former Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Mike Harris and was an architect of his 1995 Common Sense Revolution. Mr. Giorno, who is seen as a hyper-partisan, was the focus of criticism as Mr. Harper's Conservatives squandered a 10-point lead in the polls through a series of political missteps this summer. In a rare appearance earlier this year, Mr. Giorno was grilled over access-to-information issues and reports of political interference at a House of Commons committee. He is considered one of the country's leading experts on lobbying registration law.

Ian Brodie became Mr. Harper's chief of staff after he won a minority government in the 2006 election. Mr. Brodie, who first met Mr. Harper at the University of Calgary in 1990, became involved in the Reform Party and then the merger of the former Progressive Conservative and Alliance parties. A former professor of political science at the University of Western Ontario, he was at the centre of the controversy over a leak of confidential information regarding the North American free-trade agreement, which influenced the Democratic primary race in the United States.

Jeffrey Schmidt celebrates maiden Formel ADAC victory.
Three races and three different winners: Jeffrey Schmidt (18, Switzerland, Lotus) won the second of Sunday's two Formel ADAC races at the Lausitzring after starting from sixth on the grid. The young Swiss driver not only celebrated his maiden victory in the junior series but also his second podium of the weekend. At the same time, he ensured the eighth success of the season for his Lotus team.
Jeffrey Schmidt, Winner:
"There have been a few times this season when I've only just missed out on the top spot, but today I finally did it. I got off to a great start and worked hard from very early on to overtake whoever was ahead. The setup for my car was perfect today, enabling me to move up from sixth on the grid to the top rung of the podium. I'm truly grateful to my crew. I know that I have the necessary speed, and I fully intend to prove this in the final six races of the season."

Feminism | Posted by Julie Z on 03/9/2013
Saturday Vids: Thank You, Zerlina
Awesome feminist writer and activist Zerlina Maxwell has recently been the target of horrendous threats of violence. Why? Because of statements she made on Hannity.
In her own words, from a post she wrote on Feministing:
"On Tuesday night, I appeared on Hannity in a segment framed around the idea that giving women guns is the solution to ending rape. I was on with Independent Women's Forum's Gayle Trotter who recently made the point that women need guns for self defense from rape and gun violence prevention is infringing on their second Amendment rights, as well as, putting them at greater risk for domestic violence and rape.
Obviously, I disagreed. Giving every woman a gun is not rape prevention. If a woman chooses to go out and buy a …

Noticed this hasn't been debated in a while and I'm having a bout of insomnia and my friend just had a new squishy bringing up this topic. She had her 3rd LO (little one) 6wks ago and we just saw her for brunch and we noticed her new "cut" present, a diamond tennis bracelet. All our girl friends were hoping and excited to see if she had gotten her present yet and what it was. She had received diamond studs and diamond drops earrings for #1 and #2.
I know many women would say...oh, push presents are stupid and the baby is the gift.
Now push/cut presents are the norm in my circle of friends and among my peers in NYC and surrounding areas. Heck, I picked out and designed my own cut presents (designer bag for #1 and custom diamond drop earrings for #2). Since it is the norm around here, it's kind of expected that the mom would get something right before or after the birth. I view it as something to celebrate an awesome occasion and acknowledgment/ reward for my enduring pregnancy with GD and c-sections. Also, people get birthday gifts, anniversary gifts etc...why not a I just pushed a squish out or had it cut out of me present?
So, push/cut presents...awesome, a mom deserves it or elitist expectation. Bring on the heated debate and if you received one, feel free to share.

Last month marked the first anniversary of Curiosity's landing on Mars. In last September's issue, we talked with members of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) science and engineering team about what they hoped to find on Mars, and how the various technologies and instruments on Curiosity were expected to work. This month, we revisit the MSL team and find out if their expectations are on track, what Curiosity has found in a year, and how the dreaded "7 Minutes of Terror" turned into a perfectly executed touchdown on the Red (or so we thought) Planet. (More about that in our feature beginning on page 14.)
As NASA and the world celebrate the first anniversary of landing Curiosity on Mars, plans are already being set for the next major Mars mission. The next rover NASA will send to Mars in 2020 should look for signs of past life, collect samples for possible future return to Earth, and demonstrate technology for future human exploration of the Red Planet, according to a report provided to NASA.
The report was prepared by the Mars 2020 Science Definition Team (SDT), which was appointed by NASA to outline scientific objectives for the mission. The team proposed a mission concept that could accomplish several high-priority planetary science goals and serve as a major step in meeting President Obama's challenge to send humans to Mars in the 2030s.
"The objectives determined by NASA with the input from this team will become the basis later this year for soliciting proposals to provide instruments to be part of the science payload on this exciting step in Mars exploration," said John Grunsfeld, NASA's Associate Administrator for Science. NASA will conduct an open competition for the payload and science instruments that will be placed on a rover similar to Curiosity. Using Curiosity's design will help minimize mission costs and risks, and deliver a rover that can accomplish the mission objectives.
According to the SDT, looking for signs of past life is the next logical step. The new rover would use its instruments for visual, mineralogical, and chemical analysis down to microscopic scale to understand the environment around its landing site and identify biosignatures, or features in the rocks and soil that could have been formed biologically. The SDT proposed that the rover collect and package as many as 31 samples of rock cores and soil that a later mission would bring back for more definitive analysis on Earth.
Samples collected and analyzed by the rover will help inform future human exploration missions to Mars. The rover's measurements would help designers of a human expedition understand any hazards posed by Martian dust, and demonstrate how to collect carbon dioxide, which could be a resource for making oxygen and rocket fuel. Improved precision landing technology that enhances the scientific value of robotic missions also will be critical for eventual human exploration on the surface.

Seaman led the conference in hitting percentage last season as a junior, connecting on 34.0 percent of her attacks on her way to receiving Second Team All-SAC honors. This season, she headlined the Tornados group which finished first in the SAC in blocks as a team with 2.45 per game and individually Seaman led the conference with 1.23 blocks per game, finishing with 134 on the season, just in front of teammate Jordei Osby.
Wingate University's Stormi Gale, who led the league in kills per set and helped the Bulldogs to a third straight undefeated season in conference play and fourth straight conference championship, was named the South Atlantic Conference Volleyball Player of the Year, the league announced Thursday.
Wingate, which went 31-1 overall and 16-0 in the conference, swept nearly all the conference's top awards.
Wingate coach Shelton Collier was named Coach of the Year for the third year in a row.
Wingate senior defensive specialist Chelsea Cancelliere received the Scholar-Athlete Award for volleyball.

Kenya Moore wins eviction appeal, judge throws out case!
Real Housewives Of Atlanta star, Kenya Moore is finally getting her way.
An Atlanta Magistrate Court Judge vacated the eviction judgement by her landlord, Conya Dillon Weems, on Tuesday.
The reality star reportedly proved that she did indeed pay her rent. The former Miss USA will appear in court again on July 18 for her counter claim against her accuser. She's suing for illegal eviction, slander, and defamation of character amongst other claims.
"Today's victory proves that celebrities can fight back and not be victimized by people who wish to lie about them and use their name for the sake of publicity," she said.
Kenya has vehemently denied all of her landlord's claims ever since the eviction story broke in June. Her rep says she's "elated."

Mastermind of $18M Navy kickbacks to learn fate
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The mastermind of a 15-year kickback scheme that cost the Navy $18 million is due to learn his fate.
Ralph M. Mariano is set to be sentenced Friday in federal court in Providence. He pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy, theft of government property and tax evasion.
Mariano was working as a civilian at Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters in Washington and living in South Arlington, Va., when he was charged in 2011. He used his position to authorize payments to a Georgia-based contractor, which would then give him and others kickbacks. Six people pleaded guilty in the case.
Prosecutors have recommended a prison sentence of 10 years, one month, the maximum allowed under sentencing guidelines. Mariano's lawyer asked that he receive less time in prison and community service.

Photo Gallery: Active shooter drill
CLAREMONT - Sounds of gunshots, screams and sirens on Friday echoed throughout the Performing Arts Center on the Scripps College campus.
Los Angeles County firefighters and sheriff's deputies as well as Claremont police officers and personnel from other agencies and schools went to the center to participate in active shooter training.
During the drill, law enforcement officials and firefighters practiced how they would deal with a gunman on campus.
"Recent events kind of illustrate the need for it," said Brice Stella, a sheriff's deputy who works with the county's SWAT team.
The drill came weeks after the massacre at an elementary school in Connecticut that killed 20 young pupils and six staff members. Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who survived being shot in the head in January 2011 near Tucson, graduated from Scripps College.
"But amazingly enough, (the drill) was set up before all that happened," Stella said.
"This kind of training has been going on since right after Columbine really, when nationally, law enforcement changed the way they respond to active shooters."
Two students on April 20, 1999 killed 12 students and one teacher during a shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado.
"Really it's been an opportunity for us to provide a venue for important training," Scripps College President Lori Bettison-Varga said.
Onlookers said they were surprised about the realism of the training.
"I jumped," said Stephen Hamilton, principal of Danbury Elementary School in Claremont.
The drill was "really sobering ... It's good for everyone to see how to respond."
The Performing Arts Center is at 10th Street and Dartmouth Avenue.

Keith Skogstrom is a man in motion and his work is no different.
This Chicago artist is doing it big, 6 feet by 38 feet to be exact, in his latest project for The Violet Hour, a super swanky prohibition-themed speakeasy that Keith has re-decorated by creating an installation across the ENTIRE external facade of the building with Sharpie shrine-worthy work.
It'll be up for another two weeks so if you're in the Windy City you can swing by and check out Keith's mechanical masterpiece.
Keith has graciously agreed to enlighten us about what it takes to create such an installation, what inspires him and his passion for Sharpie, of course!
Tell me about yourself! I was born and raised in Ohio. I received a BFA from Ohio University in 2007. In 2008, I moved to Chicago after a show titled Neoporkopolis. The show was in Cincinnati and one of the artist was from Chicago and suggested the city. I signed a lease and moved downtown a week later into the Ukrainian Village. Don't move to Chicago in January. (We could have told you that! Although, funnily enough I made the same mistake!) The artist that encouraged my move was Andrew CopperSmith and together we had a show at a gallery as the "Binford Experience". Andrew got into the graduate program at the Chicago Art Institute and there was little more production of artwork until the following February. I participated in a group show for Toyota at the Creative Lounge located at North Ave and Damen. Since then I have been operating out of a studio in Wicker Park as Geodesic Designs. I hope to continue making murals and furniture and soon to be doing so professionally. Someday I would like to have a furniture store/studio in which I sell furniture and artwork as well as a working space.
What is inspires you as an artist? I am inspired by mechanical motion.
How would you describe your style? I would describe myself as a kinetic artist. My sculptures are both active and interactive. As a sculptor, I create a "machine" that consistently replicates an experience from a collective childhood unconsciousness. I would stylistically describe my flat work as "Implied Kinetics". I create the illusion of "movement" by using shapes and patterns that resemble mechanical components such as cogs, pulleys, bearings, and timing belts. To increase the illusion, I use a combination of contour line drawing and cross hatching to add volume to the individual components.
How did you get started working as an artist? How do you get the creative juices flowing? My artistic career started in high school when a teacher, Mr. Mike Simpson, encouraged my artistic talents. I went to Ohio University and graduated Cum Laude in 2007 with a BFA in painting. My current work, which I categorize as the Brockton Operation series, is based on a commission I completed in October of 2010. The Brockton Operation became a complex in Mass. where Thomas Edison ran experiments for developing a central power grid. The finished product is a shaped wooden panel with varying intensities of Sharpie marker.
For inspiration I'll take things apart or watch Youtube videos about differential gears, engines, or any complex machine's workings.
How do you use Sharpie markers in your work? I use Sharpie markers to make the lines and fill in blocks of color. I use rubber bands to attach the Sharpie markers to compasses to make perfect small circles. For larger circles, I have created a trammel point-like apparatus that holds a Sharpie marker on one independent clamp, and a sharp point on a second independent clamp. The two clamps attach to scrap lumber allowing for circles to be created at any diameter.
Favorite Sharpie? Why? My favorite Sharpie markers are the fine tip and the chisel tip. I use the fine tip for intricate elements and fine circle circumferences. I use the chisel tips to fill in large blocks or add a specific texture.
Describe the process for creating such a large installation piece. As an artist, I use plywood because the wood grain contrasts the mechanical images. As a draftsman, I am interested in the plywood because I can create high contrast lines that can and are sanded to varying levels on the value scale. The style for this current installation is inspired by the "Brockton Operation" series, but the arrangement for the eleven main circles is based on an artifact found in a Greek wreckage call the Antikythera mechanism.
The process for translating the image from paper to mural was as follows: create template, translate template to individual panels, thicken panels, create registration, mount panels on registration, draw first layer, sand first layer, draw second layer, remove panels from registration, coat panels with protective finish, and finally mount panels to façade.
To create the template, I covered the façade in a six foot tall level cardboard sheets. I drew my shapes using a spacer and level based on the drawing I created and used to propose the installation. I cut out the cardboard shapes and took them to a large home improvement store. I traced the shapes onto matching plywood maple panels, making sure the grain ran in the same direction. I squared the shapes by backing them with and inch thick border then routing the edge plum. Next, I built a six foot tall by 38 foot long faux wall that was the exact length of the Violet Hour façade but broke down into 8 four foot structures and 1 six foot structure. I mounted the faux wall directly to the actual façade approx. one foot down from a support beam. I then mounted the 53 shaped panels to the faux wall and removed the entire structure from the wall leaving the pieces attached. I created the first layer of the finished image in my studio 20 feet at a time. I built a slide for different panels to be added and removed as completed. Once the first layer of drawing was done, I took the faux wall back to the Violet Hour and confirm a consistent distribution of detail throughout the 38 feet as I had only seen it 20 feet at a time up to this point. At this point, I sanded the first layer with a 120 grit orbital sander until I got a blue/gray "faded" image. The faux wall then gets placed back on the slide to be finished with a second "layer" of detail. Once the image was completed, I sent them to a finisher that I commissioned. I primed and painted the façade of the violet hour over a five day period. Once returned, the panels were arranged and mounted to the façade with thick blocks behind to create depth between the back of the panel and the wall.
How did your installation project get started? The installation got started because I was a regular at the Violet Hour. The Violet Hour is a prohibition themed speakeasy where the mural now hangs for another two weeks. The owners provide a wall for artists in the area to create murals upon and to do so on a four to six week rotation. I initiated contact with the owners via a wonderful hostess, now friend of mine, named Lara. She arranged a meeting for the owners and myself where I pitched the mural with a drawing and an example of the artwork from the "Brockton Operation" series. They agreed that I could use the wall in September, but due to a delay on my part the unveiling was pushed back to October.
Advice for other young artists? Make things. You can't have shows or design your website without something to document. I am constantly getting questions from artists about how to setup their website or market themselves when they have few artifacts and even fewer competent images or documentation of the work. Most importantly, artists need to create objects or conceptualize thoughts in order to develop an identity. The process of creating unique artwork starts with the action. Critique and refinement can only be applied to fully realize artistic investigations. Without attempts at making art, artwork can not be fully developed.

Classical Russian ballet takes Drayton Hall stage
The University of South Carolina Dance Conservatory will present "From Russia With Love," featuring excerpts from classical 1800s ballet originally choreographed and performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22-23 at Drayton Hall.
Tickets are $16 for the public, $14 for military, USC faculty and staff and $10 for students. Show times are 7:30 p.m. both evenings, plus a 3 p.m. performance Saturday.
Performers will include students from the USC Dance Conservatory, ranging in age from 11 to 17 years, plus members of the USC Dance Company.
The ballets featured in the production represent the great golden age of classical ballet in late 19th-century Russia that are still popular today. Selections include "Paquita," the first work ever staged by legendary choreographer Marius Petipa in Russia; the pas de trois (a ballet dance for three) from Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"; and choreographer Arthur Saint Leon's "La Vivandiere."
Among the pieces, one that stands out for conservatory director Marissa Freeman is "The Nutcracker" pas de trois (known as "The Dance of the Mirlitons," or more commonly, "The Dance of the Reed Flutes").
"The selection we're doing is very specific to the Russian version in that it features three children, a boy and two girls, and utilizes choreography which is rarely done in American versions of the ballet," Freeman said.
For more information about "From Russia With Love" and other conservatory events, contact Kevin Bush at 777-9353 or email@example.com.
'From Russia With Love'
- What: Performance of classical 1800s Russian ballet

He brought humor to "Seven Psychopaths," mystery and suspense to "Minority Report," heroism to "Alexander" and his good looks to all! Since the handsome star is not easily scared (at least not of someone in a cat costume sneaking up behind him), Ellen might make a bigger move this time!
For the first time on daytime television, KINGS OF LEON will perform! The band of brothers, who rocked their way into the spotlight with hits like "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire," are here with a new song from their sixth studio album, "Mechanical Bull." Taking the soul of the blues and the heart of folk, and sprinkling with the fire of rock n' roll, the band gained worldwide fame and recognition with their exceptional sound. They've topped the international charts and have taken home multiple Grammy Awards. The only thing left is shaking the crowd on Ellen's stage!
Then, KATHRYN HAHN brings her wit and style to the show! The actress will soon be seen in the fantastical tale "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," following a growing list of noteworthy roles in movies such as "Wanderlust," "Revolutionary Road," "Anchorman" and "We're The Millers." Always classy, always delightful, Kathryn's talent has brought her into the spotlight in numerous surprising and inventive ways, not the least of which is her part in this upcoming feature. Since it's her first time in Ellen's hot seat, who knows what's in store?!
Making more moves on the stage, Canadian b-boy LUCA "LAZYLEGZ" PATUELLI dances for Ellen! Luca doesn't let anything stop him from dancing; not a muscular disorder, not the rain or cold, not even gravity. He'll walk his stunning walk for Ellen, and it will not only be entertaining, it will be inspiring for all.
On Monday, Ellen's rocking with the best!

Multnomah University hosted an all-day training exercise with the Portland Police Bureau's Rapid Response Team (RRT) on campus April 25, 2014. The RRT, a group composed of 70 law enforcement members, spent the day practicing crowd control procedures and techniques. More than 30 law enforcement officials from the Portland metro area, Washington and California observed the scenarios.
Sgt. David Abrahamson, RRT member and former Multnomah student, led the training. Abrahamson was excited to spearhead the event, which was mutually beneficial for emergency responders and the University. "We have an ethical and moral responsibility to our citizens that our response to them is safe and efficient," he said.
For Abrahamson, the opportunity to join Multnomah in a communal effort was inspiring. "This process has blessed all of us," he said. "MU has gone above and beyond to help us. I can't say enough good things about this school.
"I hope the event caused people to start imagining what they would do in an emergency situation. The concepts that they gleaned today are things they can take with them for the rest of their lives."
MU Communications Specialist Kristina Rhodes was in close contact with Abrahamson and other local law enforcement officials and coordinated communication with MU students, staff and faculty during the weeks before the training. "It's Multnomah's privilege to partner with Portland Police in an effort to increase the safety of our community," she said.
Rhodes served as the point person for the event and spent the day managing media relations and coordinating interviews. "Multnomah is committed to serving the city of Portland," she said. "This partnership with Portland Police is an example of our close friendship with local law enforcement. Because of their time at MU today, our campus will be one of the safest in the NW — they'll know it like the back of their hand."

Late last week, several members of the Gnip team attended the 2011 Glue Conference, including Gnip's very own CEO Jud Valeski, who delivered a keynote presentation on High-Volume, Realtime Data Stream Handling. Check out Audrey Watters' article, Gnip CEO on the Challenges of Handling the Real-Time, Big Data Firehose on ReadWriteCloud, it does a great job of summing up Jud's presentation.
We were thrilled to once again sponsor such an innovative and informative event dedicated to the bits and pieces, APIs and metadata, standards, and connectors that help "glue" together the applications of the web. We would like to congratulate Eric Norlin (@defrag) and team for putting on a great conference.
It was exciting to have seen several of our customers and partners at the conference, including ReportGrid, a realtime analytics startup, who used Gnip data to power their demo at the conference. For those of you that we met at the conference, it was a pleasure! For those of you that we missed, give us a call or shoot us an email, we would love to hear from you. See you next year at the 2012 Glue Conference!

This two-sided, flippable skillet, the Perfect Pancake Pan, promises "four picture-perfect pancakes every time," and it delivers. It has four wells that hold batter and make perfect pancake circles. In fact, they were so round and perfect, they resembled crumpets more than pancakes.
In general, however, the pan is pretty unnecessary. For the same $19.99 you would spend on this pan, you could buy an electric griddle, which will make six or eight pancakes at a time — and can be used for a whole lot more, such as cooking bacon or making several grilled sandwiches at once.

CHESSINGTON, England -- Sega Amusements has announced the extension of its Grid driving game line with a larger alternative to the Grid 32" standard model. The new model is equipped with a 42" monitor, and bridges the gap between the standard and the top-of-the-line 55" deluxe.
"Monitor size makes a big difference in both presentation and gameplay," said Sega sales manager Tom Keil. "Players have become so accustomed to large-format displays that it's expected in most commercial applications."
Sega's Grid is based on Race Driver: Grid, a hit consumer game from British videogame developer Codemasters Software Co. Ltd. Sega's arcade rendition offers full-feedback steering and a stereo 2.1 sound system, with the subwoofer mounted in the seat to enhance the immersive experience by providing "road feedback." The player has the choice of automatic or manual transmission, any of three views (cockpit, "bumper cam" or bird's eye), and "quick race" or "three-tier championship" play. | SEE STORY
Players also can select any of 12 high-performance "supercars," including Aston Martin, Bugatti, Dodge, Ford, Jaguar, Koenigsegg, Mercedes-Benz, McLaren, Pagani, Saleen and Toyota models, all meticulously rendered. Sega's Keil explained that there are subtle differences from one car to another, ranging from engine sound through acceleration and braking capabilities to maximum speed.
During play, true damage modeling provides striking illustrations of the effects of accidents: "If you hit the wall, you see the results that include broken glass, flapping hoods, swinging doors and dragging bumpers," the manufacturer reports.
Eight road-racing circuits from around the world are available, among them Detroit, Donington Park, Long Beach, Milan, the Nürburgring, Okutama, San Francisco, Spa Francorchamps and Washington.
The cabinet features tricolor LED illumination, the colors of which change to match the action. As many as six cabinets may be linked to permit multiplayer competition. Operator-selectable options include race length (two, three or four laps), difficulty settings (easy, medium and hard), "continue" on or off, default view (again, cockpit, bumper cam or bird's eye), and choices of messaging in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian, as well as speedometer readings in miles or kilometers per hour.
When assembled, Grid 42" deluxe measures 71" deep x 51"wide x 81" high.
Based in Chessington (Surrey), England, Sega Amusements is a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan's Sega Corp. Sega Amusements' U.S. team is based in Illinois. Information on Grid 42" deluxe and other games from Sega may be found online at segaarcade.com, or requested by emailing to Tom.Keil, Vince.Moreno or Peter.Gustafson, all @sau.sega.com. Gustafson can be reached by phone in Elk Grove, IL, at (224) 265-4281.

Here are some tips to help you collect your judgment:
Do not use illegal ways to collect your money
The debtor may be protected from abusive or unfair ways to collect the debt. And generally, it is not a good idea for you to use unfair or deceitful tactics to get the money the debtor owes you.
In your efforts to collect the debt:
Encourage the debtor to pay you voluntarily
If you are too aggressive in collecting your judgment, the debtor may file for bankruptcy. This means you would have to file a claim in federal bankruptcy court. Because small claims are $7,500 or less, most small claims debtors can make payments over time. Try to work out a payment plan with the debtor.
Get tips to help you get the debtor to pay voluntarily.
Ask a lawyer or collection agency for help
You can ask a lawyer or collection agency to help you collect your judgment. But you may have to pay a percentage of the judgment in fees (some agencies charge only 15 percent or 20 percent). They may also ask you to assign the right to your judgment to them. Usually, a lawyer or collection agency will write letters to the debtor. They can also help locate the debtor's assets. You can also do these things yourself.
Make sure you renew your judgment
Judgments are enforceable for 10 years and are renewable for another 10 years and then renewable after that. You must renew your judgment before it expires (runs out). For more information, read Renew Your Judgment.
Ask the court for help
If the debtor does not pay you, the court can also issue documents and make other orders allowing you to:
Read Ways to Collect From the Debtor for all the things you can try to collect your judgment. And keep in mind that your court's small claims advisor may be able to help you fill out these forms and understand the court and collection process.
