DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit police officer says he was threatened into dropping misdemeanor trash violations in 2002 against a contractor who was close to then-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Officer Michael Fountain says he was confronted in the courthouse by Bobby Ferguson and two members of Kilpatrick's security team. He says Ferguson told him, "Your family wouldn't like this."
Fountain testified Tuesday that he canceled the tickets and told the judge that he had made mistakes about the case. Ferguson had been ticketed for high weeds, broken-down vehicles and debris that attracted rats.
Ferguson, Kilpatrick and two other people are on trial on corruption charges. The government alleges that Kilpatrick repeatedly helped Ferguson get city business and they shared the spoils.

Vettel romps to second Suzuka win (Japanese Grand Prix review)
Sebastian Vettel continued his love affair with the Suzuka circuit with an emphatic win from pole position.
He led home team mate Mark Webber as Red Bull dominated the Grand Prix, strengthening their position in the constructors' championship.
The race got off to a dramatic start as four cars crashed within a few hundred metres of the start.
Vitaly Petrov made contact with Nico Hülkenberg, then Felipe Massa cut across the first corner and slammed into Vitantonio Liuzzi.
That brought out the safety car which picked up Vettel, who had held the lead at the start, followed by the fast-starting Robert Kubica.
But the Renault driver's race wasn't to last much longer. His right-rear wheel detached from the car, forcing him to retire.
That promoted Webber to second ahead of Fernando Alonso, followed by the McLarens of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
More gearbox gremlins for Hamilton
The top five finished in that order but not before McLaren had mixed up the order a little. Button stayed out a long time, having started the race on the hard tyres, and briefly took over the lead after the others had pitted.
The Red Bulls caught him but, knowing he still had to pit, held back. Alonso could do little to reduce their lead even as he came under pressure from Hamilton, who picked up speed after switching to the hard tyres, getting out of Button's slipstream and quickly passing Kamui Kobayashi.
But Hamilton's hopes of taking on Alonso ended when he lost third gear. He was left to finish the race using just fourth gear and higher, leaving him struggling around the slower corners, particularly the hairpin. That was where Button eventually passed his team mate after his late change to soft tyres.
Michael Schumacher arrived home in sixth place after spending most of the race stuck behind his team mate. At one point he was told "there are no team orders, but Nico knows to be sensible".
Rosberg had already made his pit stop during the early safety car period and lost time after failing to pass Sebastien Buemi following the restart.
He stayed ahead of Schumacher until he suffered a similar failure to Kubica six laps from home. Unfortunately for Rosberg it happened at the Dunlop corner, sending him crashing into the barriers.
Kobayashi on fire at home
It promoted Kobayashi to a very hard-fourth seventh place achieved with a string of gutsy overtaking moves. Among the drivers he scalped, most with very late-braking overtaking moves at the hairpin, were Jaime Alguersuari, Adrian Sutil and then Alguersuari again.
The second time Alguersuari made Kobayashi go the long way around the outside, and gave him a shove at the exit of the corner, failing to keep him behind and succeeding only in damaging his own car.
Kobayashi was one of few drivers to start on hard tyres and picked off Alguersuari for the second time after changing to softs. He then sized up and passed Rubens Barrichello and team mate Nick Heidfeld – the latter getting well out of Kobayashi's way at his favourite overtaking spot.
Kobayashi's victims followed him home – Heidfeld, Barrichello, Buemi and Alguersuari. In 12th place was Heikki Kovalainen, the highest finishing position for a new team so far, which all-but guarantees Lotus the coveted tenth place in the constructors' championship.
Jarno Trulli was 13th ahead of Timo Glock, the only Virgin driver to take the start after Lucas di Grassi had a bizarre and as-yet unexplained crash at 130R on his way to the grid.
Webber could do nothing about Vettel – but he could stop him from claiming the fastest lap, setting the best time on the last lap of the race. But Vettel won the war, beating Webber home for the third race in a row to move within 14 points of him in the drivers' championship.

Paris: Rafael Nadal has made history by defeating No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 in a rain-suspended men's final at Roland Garros, sealing an Open-era record seventh French Open title. The rain-hit match had resumed on Monday with Djokovic serving at 2-1 in the fourth set, and he was immediately broken by Nadal who has now gone past Bjorn Borg at the clay-court open.
The win on Monday was Nadal's 11th Grand Slam title, taking him to joint fourth on the all-time list of winners alongside Borg and Rod Laver. He now leads Roger Federer (16), Pete Sampras (14) and Roy Emerson (12).
Nadal also snapped Djokovic's streak of three consecutive Grand Slam titles, denying the Serbian a chance to become the first since Laver to win all four Grand Slam titles at the same time. Nadal had been beaten by Djokovic in their past three Grand Slam finals, including a nearly six-hour duel at the Australian Open in January.
Nadal's record at Roland Garros now stands at 52-1.

Suburban Crossroads The Fight for Local Control of Immigration Policy by Thomas J. Vicino.
When Congress failed to implement federal immigration reform in 2006, many local and state governments began confronting immigration policy in their own jurisdictions. Afraid of becoming sanctuaries for immigrants, numerous communities implemented their own policies to limit immigration. Thomas J. Vicino unravels the political debate behind local ordinances such as the Illegal Immigration Relief Act and similar laws.
This summer the library will be open in the afternoons only: Monday-Friday, 1 - 5pm.
After August 28 we'll resume our regular hours (9-5, M-F).
Enjoy the summer!

Plan Description
Designed for a long and lean parcel of land, this 4-car tandem garage plan makes the most of a narrow space. Craftsman-style details give this plan Northwestern appeal allowing it to blend with many Arts and Crafts homes. However, its floor plan is what makes it more appealing. Two overhead doors open tot 1248 square feet of usable space. The two tandem bays are extra deep working well for boat storage or they can neatly hold two oversized vehicles or four family cars. Perhaps you need to store two family cars and some other motorized items such as an ATV and a jet ski instead. The garage is flexible enough to accommodate several different combinations of boats and vehicles. Dont miss the handy half bath, two service entries and the storage space between the bath and stairs on the left side. Interior and exterior stairs lend access to the second floor loft where youll find 672 square feet of usable space. You can use it for storage or finish it as a game room or office. Skylights are a thoughtful extra. Practical and convenient, this boat storage garage with loft has much to offer!The roof framing is a combination of truss and conventional.

Born In: Cobalt, Ontario, Canada
Born: May 8th, 1921
Passed in: Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
Passed on: September 8th, 2012
On September 8, 2012, Mr. Joseph Aurele Charbonneau passed away at 91 years of age.
Survived by his loving daughter Edna Park (George Richardson) of Kamloops; one granddaughter Kari (Dean Ephrom) and two great grandsons Christopher Sia-Park (Vanessa Frome) and Jerytt Ephrom and one great great-granddaughter Kaidence Sia-Park.
Joseph was predeceased by his loving wife Thelma in 1997 and one sister and five brothers.
He was born on May 8, 1921 in Cobalt, Ontario and lived in Timmins, Ontario. He moved to British Columbia where he enlisted in the Merchant Navy from 1945 - 1947 travelling to Africa, India and Burma.
He lived and worked in Vancouver, and was a member of Laborer's Union in construction, working on many of the buildings in downtown Vancouver and also buildings in Stanley Park. His favorite was the building of the whale pool and Aquarium.
Dad loved the outdoors, was an avid fisherman, hunted in the Cariboo area and camped for years in the Nimpo Lake area. He made his own moose call out of birch bark and spent hours sitting around a campfire practicing calling a moose, and camped in many areas of BC.
We will miss him, as well as nieces and nephews in BC and Ontario.
A very special thank you to the staff of the Hamlets at Westsyde for the wonderful care, he received while living there.

In the year since a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti, Rotarians in the country have been using resources and funds donated by Rotary clubs worldwide to rebuild schools, support environmental education, and fund clean water initiatives.
A 7.0-magnitude quake struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, killing more than 300,000 people and crumbling the country's infrastructure. More than a million people still live in tents and under tarpaulins. A deadly cholera outbreak in October slowed the work toward long-term recovery. See related story
Rotary clubs have provided more than $18 million in aid to Haiti. District 7020, which includes Haiti, raised US$1.5 million and secured goods and services valued at about $11 million for immediate help.
"All the Rotarians in Haiti have shown amazing dedication to tirelessly working to help their communities recover from the earthquake," says Past RI Director Barry Rassin. "I admire what they have done and continue to do."
Rassin is an account holder of the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, a donor advised fund set up by The Rotary Foundation. Rotarians worldwide have contributed more than $2 million to the fund. So far, the Haiti fund committee has agreed to allocate about $1 million toward 53 projects.
The relief effort has involved Rotarians from about 50 countries.
"Rotary has been a major influence in Haiti," Rassin says. Rotarians "have participated in various programs to help those in Haiti who have been seriously affected by the tragedy. We must continue to support recovery efforts and work side by side with the Rotarians in Haiti to move their country to a more positive place."
Some of the initiatives supported by the Haiti fund include:
"It will take years for the country to recover, but by working together on each project and seeing it through completion, Rotary will make a difference in the lives of millions of people," Rassin says.
Richard McCombe, a member of the Rotary Club of South-East Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas, says Rotary is particularly well suited to help in Haiti's recovery: More than 30 humanitarian and educational projects were already underway before the quake.
"We decided that whatever we do in Haiti must help improve sustainability and build capacity," McCombe says. For example, a prosthetic limbs project in Pignon in northern Haiti also provides job training to local workers to produce and fit lightweight, low-cost artificial limbs. The $500,000 project, supported by the Foundation and Rotary clubs in the United Kingdom, will benefit about 4,000 quake survivors and others in need of prostheses.

Boys love toys, but only if they've got a gimmick - and both of the items I checked out this month do.
Blue Man Group - that outrageous multisensory music trio that performs with everything from a zither to a Chapman Stick - has come up with the Keyboard Experience ($99, shown) and the Percussion Tubes ($99) so you too can blend your theatrical and rock-star skills with the press of a button. These user-friendly music makers were a blast! I conducted a wacky jam session with the preprogrammed music, but you can also jack in an iPod or MP3 player and riff along to your favorite songs. The coolest thing, though, is the proximity-sensor technology. Just wave your hands over the control tubes to start the music, stop it, make it louder, or change the type of instrument. A little blue face paint and I could sub for one of these guys any day.
Portable media players are getting smaller and thinner, with larger screens. The slim and trim Archos 604 ($350) has that "wow" factor we all crave when we unwrap a new gadget. It boasts a generous 4.3-inch wide screen beaming 16 million colors and stores 30 movies or 15,000 songs. An optional DVR Station ($100) lets you record TV shows. Best of all, the easy-to-navigate menus and animated icons let me get the 604 up to speed right out of the box.

Just got off the phone with National Weather Service Meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki who said the nor'easter they had been expecting to hit the area this afternoon arrived sooner than anticipated. He said to expect moderate to heavy snowfall until 1 or 2 p.m. and then it should lighten up this afternoon. There's a chance some sleet could mix in, but Ciemnecki said it's more likely to be all snow in Connecticut.
Ciemnecki said the heaviest snow will arrive this evening and continue overnight and is expected to dump a total of 8 to 10 inches with higher accumulations further east.
If you have any photos of the snow, send them to us here. Also, click here to let us know how much snow you got.

Michael has a surprise visitor after class
Michael was nervous. Today was the first proper workshop he had done with his year one drama group at the local University. In fact he had spent most of the last few weeks feeling nervous. It was a strong group of characters, despite the fact that they were all just starting out on this, their freshman term of college. And although they didn't exactly intimidate him, Michael still felt he...Read On

In the morning Michael woke early as he always did. He was instantly aware of Juliette, still sleeping deeply beside him. He was tempted to wake her but then thought better of it. As a student she probably didn't have to get up this early and might not appreciate his early morning enthusiasm.

Rocky View County office not needed
Re: �County takes step towards construction of complex,� Oct. 5
Dear Editor,
It is important to realize the big difference between commercial/government and individuals regarding equity.
People want equity to fund their retirement or even leave something to their children.
The point is individuals have a limited lifespan and changing needs over time.
Governments and business have neither and therefore have no need to build equity.
If the County�s goal is building equity, they should direct more tax dollars away from providing services to invest in land, gold, stocks, or mutual funds to build up a �retirement� fund.
Homes tend to increase in value but commercial buildings depreciate. Ironically, the reason for moving maintenance to the new location is that it is not worth repairing the old building because it has depreciated so much.
Another disadvantage is employees that do not want to commute as far will quit and we will lose their knowledge and experience.
Time will be wasted hiring and training new people.
Calgary has a downtown core not because the resource companies have wells downtown, but because the activities of an office are better served by proximity to other offices and suppliers.
Employees that have banking or other errands to run can do so during their lunch breaks. Office supplies are more readily available in the city and so are higher speed Internet connections.
Permits will not be approved faster, roads will not be better maintained, recreation facilities and municipal reserves will not receive more care because the office sits on county-owned land versus a leased facility. In fact, money spent creating this legacy to councillors lacking basic financial skills will take away from providing services to county residents.
The disadvantages of spending $32 million for a new county office can be easily listed.
The only stated benefit is the good feeling to �...conduct their business in the county...�. $32 million is far too much for a feeling.

While NRA matches often include center-fire handguns, most bullseye shooting is conducted with a .22. In these competitions, accuracy and precision are more important than speed. Here are the most popular bullseye competition pistols, according to a poll conducted by Larry's Guns.
The Smith & Wesson Model 41 is a semi-automatic pistol developed by Smith & Wesson after World War II as a competitive target pistol. It was designed with a 105 degree grip angle, the same as the Colt M1911 pistol, to maintain a consistent grip angle during training and competition.
Two prototypes, numbered X-41 and X-42, were produced in 1947 and improved in the years that followed. In 1957, the Model 41 was made available to the public when Smith & Wesson built 679 units. Production increased to 9,875 the very next year. Various short and long barrels were produced during its lifetime. In 1992, the Model 41 was dropped from production. In 1994, Smith & Wesson returned it to production as the Model 41 (New Model). The photo depicts the author's gun with custom hand stocks from Vitarbo.
Weight: 5.5-inch barrel (2.56 lbs.); 7-inch barrel (2.62 lbs.)Magazine Capacity: 10Price: $1,369
I just purchased a model 41 and it has been nothing but a headache. It constantly stovepipes or fails to eject the spent cartridge. What a disappointment.I think you would be wise looking elsewhere as this gun is way overpriced for what it is. I question the performance center advantage.
The S&W Model 41 is an exceptional product. I use it in Bullseye competition with an Ultradot scope -- it shoots better than I do :-[)]
Benelli pistols are the worst. I have 2 that constantly stove pipe no matter what kind of ammo I use. I finally bought the sw 41 and it hardly ever alabis.
Hey Cliff, they did include the Ruger Mark III... Honestly my mag disconnect, loaded chamber indicator, and lack of full mag ejection (due to mag disconnet) has not bothered me with my Mark III. I kind of like the loaded indicator even though I visually check the chamber. Yes I'd rather not have it, but it ain't so bad. I find that since the magazines do not drop free to the floor I do not have to worry about them breaking. They eject enough that I simply pull them the rest of the way out then set them on the shooting table or in my pocket. It is slower, yes, but not much with practice. I think this feature is especially nice on the Target model. If you prefer the Mark II or I that is fine, not dissing your preference, just saying the Mark III makes a fine Target Pistol once you get accustomed to it.
Left out the Ruger MK 1
This is an exceptional pistol. Very accurate and very reliable. Among its features is the ability to dry fire the gun without the need for a dry fire chamber plug. Mounting a dot sight can be somewhat difficult as the two basic methods require removing the rear sight and replacing it with a dot sight mount or, the other method, which requires a gunsmith to drill and tap the barrel to mount a sight rail.
My experience with the Bob Marvel/Advantage Arms .22 conversion unit has been frustrating and disappointing in the extreme. The main problem with the gun is the hold-open notch, a steel insert in the alloy slide. It is held in place by the two very small screws which are prone to breaking. It is obvious that this is a question of poor design. Given my experience with Mr. Marvel, and Advantage Arms, I do not recommend dealing with either entity.

Brief Biography of Josef Čapek
Thanks to Helen Sullivan, Head of the Slavic Reference Service at UIUC, for referring me to Grove Art Online--a great resource for artist bios and term definitions, among other things. Here is GAO's entry for Josef Čapek:
Čapek, Josef
(b Hronov, 23 March 1887; d Bergen-Belsen, April 1945).
Czech painter, printmaker and writer. He studied weaving (1901–3) in Vrchlabí and then from 1904 to 1910 decorative painting at the School of Applied Arts in Prague, where he was influenced by the highly decorative art of the Secession. During this period he wrote stories with his brother, the novelist Karel Čapek (1890–1938). In 1910 they went to Paris for nearly a year, where Josef Čapek studied painting at the Académie Colarossi and became a friend of Apollinaire. In 1911 he and his brother co-founded the Cubist-orientated Group of Plastic Artists. Čapek attempted to modify Cubism by introducing elements of Expressionism and Symbolism. His efforts dumbfounded some members of the group, and in 1912 he and various of his friends parted company with it. From 1915 he began to achieve a synthesis of Cubism, Neo-classicism and a personal symbolism (e.g. the Man in the Hat, 1915; Hradec Králové, Reg. Gal.), and in 1917 he participated in the first and subsequent exhibitions of the group Tvrdošíjní (The Stubborn Ones) and began to produce a number of prints for the magazine Červen, including the poster design for Arnošt Dvořák's Mrtvá at the Červná Sedma theatre in Prague (colour lithograph, 1920; Prague, Mus. App. A.). [NB: This poster design is mentioned in the 12/12/05 weblog posting.] In the 1920s his paintings and prints became more densely woven, more expressive and more concerned with issues of civilian and suburban life. He also undertook theatre design, journalism and book illustration as well as publishing his own theoretical essays. In the late 1920s he became greatly influenced by folk art, painting simplified images of houses and countryside in bold strokes of bright colour. In 1933 he became a member of the editorial board of the magazine Život; by then his expressionistic painting had become somewhat oppressive, as in Cloud (1933; Ostrava, A.G.). In 1938 he painted the first pictures of his cycle Fire, whose large, gesturing figures played out a warning against war (e.g. Fire (1), 1938; Prague, N.G.). His last cycle of paintings, Longing, dating from 1939, is symbolic of a despair with contemporary events. On 1 September 1939 he was arrested by the Germans and taken to Dachau, and later to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where he died.

More information about Czech Cubism may be found in this brief 2001 article, based on an exhibition in Salzburg, Austria, that same year: Kimball, R. "Czech cubism, 1912-1916" at the Rupertinum, Salzburg. The New Criterion v. 20 no. 2 (October 2001) p. 43-4. Here is the abstract for the article: "A review of 'Czech Cubism, 1912-1916,' an exhibition at the Rupertinum, Salzburg, Austria, from July 21 to October 7, 2001. Intelligently and professionally put together, this quiet show had the good sense and daring to focus on the artwork, leaving the 120 paintings and sculptures to speak for themselves. Of the nine artists represented in the show, only Josef Capek and Emil Filla are known in America, and their work is also the show's most distinctive and aesthetically rewarding."
Also, from Grove Art Online, here is a definition of Czech Cubism:Term used to describe a style in architecture and the applied arts, directly inspired by Cubist painting and sculpture, which was developed by architects and designers active in Prague shortly before World War I; the term itself was not used until the 1960s. The leaders of the style were the members of the Group of Plastic Artists (1911–14), which broke away from the Mánes Union of Artists in 1911 and for two years published its own journal, Umělecký měsíčník ('Art monthly'). The architects in the group were Josef Gočár, Josef Chochol, Vlastislav Hofman (1884–1964) and Pavel Janák; other members included Emil Filla, Václav Špála, Antonín Procházka and Otto Gutfreund. The group was reacting against the austere rationalism of such architects as Jan Kotěra, seeking instead to sustain architecture and the applied arts as branches of art rich in content. Their approach was expounded in various articles, particularly by Janák, who developed the principles of architectural Cubism; based on the thesis of Cubism in painting and sculpture, that art should create a distinctive, parallel picture of reality, it attempted to dematerialize a building's mass by the three-dimensional surface sculpturing of the façade with abstract, prismatic forms.
The principal buildings to embody these ideas include Gočár's sanatorium (1911–12) at Bohdaneč, and Black Madonna House (1911–12), Prague; three houses by Chochol (1911–13) beneath Vyšehrad in Prague (for illustration see Prague, fig. 6); and Janák's rebuilding (1913) of an existing Baroque house in Pelhřimov with Cubist details. Later works include three teachers' houses (1917–19), Prague, by Otakar Novotný. Jiří Kroha also acknowledged Cubism in some of his studies but soon moved away to develop an expression of his own. Architectural Cubism, unmatched in any other country, was a significant step in the evolution of Czech architecture, contributing to the demise of 19th-century academicism and historicism. At the same time it amounted to a break with other developments of the early 20th century, including the Viennese Secession as well as rationalism. However, while it brought architectural form to artistic abstraction, dynamizing mass and elaborating the spatial plasticity of façades and their detail, it had no profound effect on the interior planning of buildings or on their structure.
The principles of Czech Cubism found more prolific expression in the applied arts and in furniture design. In 1912 Gočár and Janák set up the Prague Art Workshops (PUD) for the design of arts, crafts and furniture; it was intended to concentrate on the furnishing of the complete house, with the contention that furniture should not only meet the demands of utility and good taste but also be serious art of substantial content. Distinctive Cubist furniture designs were produced by several architects including Janák (see Czech republic, fig. 23). They also designed lighting, tableware, vases and other products. The style gained international recognition with the dining-room interior presented by Gočár and František Kysela (1881–1941) at the Deutsche Werkbundausstellung (1914) in Cologne.
After World War I and the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic (1918), the Cubist style underwent a major change. The pyramid was replaced by the cylinder and sphere in the rich plastic decorativeness of Rondocubism, which laid claim to become a national style in architecture. It is associated with the same group of names: Gočár, for example, used the circle as a generating motif for the Legiobanka (1921), Prague, with façade sculpture by Otto Gutfreund; Janák employed the style for the crematorium (1921) in Pardubice and the building of the Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà (1922–4), Prague; and Novotný built a block of flats (1921) in Prague. This attempt to create a national style, together with the concept of architecture as primarily an art form, culminated in 1925 with the interiors of the Czechoslovak Pavilion at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (1925), Paris, designed by Janák and Kysela; the Pavilion was designed by Gočár. It then yielded to the more vigorously evolving Functionalism of avant-garde Czechoslovak architecture in the 1920s and 1930s, supported by Devětsil, the group centred on the figure of Karel Teige that was formed in 1920.

Josef Čapek and the Poster "Boje a zápasy": Tragic Irony or Subversive Subtext?
The Czech artist Josef Čapek, whose work is reproduced on two posters in the Winters Collection, is remembered best for his paintings, book illustrations, theatrical set designs, and writings (particularly of novels, plays, and journalistic pieces). He also collaborated on short fiction and critical writings with his brother Karel, who is probably the better known of the pair.
The two posters featuring Čapek's work are "Boje a zápasy" (Fights and Encounters, poster #7, Folder 1), which advertises a 1973 exhibit in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the "February Victory" (the Communist Party's rise to power in Czechoslovakia in 1948), and "Scéna 'Červéna sedma.' Arnošt Dvorak: Mrtvá" (Folder 5, poster #81), a 1978 copy of the 1920 poster that Čapek designed for a production of playwright Arnošt Dvorak's Mrtvá (Dead) at the Cervná Sedma theater in Prague. The latter poster, originally a color lithograph, is reminiscent of Cubism, the style of painting for which Čapek became known early in his career.
The artwork shown on the poster "Boje a zápasy" likely originated in Čapek's cycle of primitivist-style paintings titled Touha (Longing), which he created in 1938-1939, approximately the same time that Germany seized power in Czechoslovakia. At this time, too, Čapek could not get his drawings published in Lidové noviny (People's Daily), which had been reproducing his work for several years; by the late 1930s, in a pre-World-War-II climate of invasions, threats, and persecutions, the newspaper was censoring itself out of fear for its own demise. The theme of Touha is one of a cry for survival and endurance. As Blanka Stehlíková asserts in her article on Čapek, "Josef Čapek and his Children's Books" (Phaedrus, vol. 13 [1988], pp. 49-55), the paintings in Touha "portrayed the Republic as a symbolic woman figure crying over the burned, devastated homeland and calling for the defense of the country" (p. 54).
To give some sense of what the painting in "Boje a zápasy" looks like, here is a website that displays a reproduction of a Čapek painting from the 1938 cycle Ohen (Fire), which consists of works similar to those that comprise Touha. Like the figure at this site, the one in "Boje a zápasy" is dressed in the colors of the Czech flag but the resemblance ends there; the clothes on the woman in "Boje a zápasy" are torn and ragged, a symbol of struggle and tested endurance.
Because the woman in Čapek's Touha is painted in bold strokes and ruddy colors, with the rounded contours and substantial frame typical of female figures in proletarian art, perhaps it's not surprising that a painting from this cycle was chosen to advertise a Communist-themed exhibit in 1973--which was only five years after the Prague Spring and thus still a politically tense time in Czechoslovakia. As I consider the context of this poster, the work reproduced in it, and the artist who created the original work, two questions come to mind: is this poster an example of a museum applying artwork for a particular purpose because it suits that purpose, or does the poster capture the musuem in a subtle act of subversion?
In terms of the first question, here is what I'm thinking (which results from some discussion with Marie Kallista, a Czech colleague) . . . During his own lifetime Čapek had been defiantly and vocally anti-Fascist. Mainly for this reason, he was arrested in 1939 and deported to a series of concentration camps; he died in Bergen-Belsen in April 1945. Whether he would have become a Communist, had he survived the war years, will never be known. But that the Communists used a painting Čapek had created, in response to the destruction of all the things he knew and loved about Czechoslovakia, to commemorate their takeover of the same country is tragically ironic. The poster makes a travesty of a great artist's work. In my mind it exemplifies--to borrow familiar jargon from the copyright world--"unfair use": it does not do Josef Čapek the justice that his memory and talent deserve.
OR . . . by using this very work, arguably an illustration of Czech national pride and the struggle to maintain a national identity, was the Alešova jihočeska galerie (Alesh South Bohemian Gallery), which commissioned the poster, engaging in an act of subversion? The painting looks like an example of socialist realist visual art, but given who created it and the context in which he did so, it would not be accurate to designate or suggest it as such. I'm wondering whether the musuem featured this work--which, as part of a cycle titled Longing, evokes Čapek's deep passion for his country, culture, and people--in a poster about the celebration of a Communist victory as a way of saying, OK, we'll have this exhibit on the anniversay of a Communist triumph, but we'll assert a sense of autonomy by featuring a work that was created in an atmosphere of national threat and uncertainty--that was about holding on to a sense of national identity. If the main idea that Čapek reinforces through this painting is the defense and protection of his homeland in the face of its usurpation, then its application in a poster about a Communist victory strikes me as subtly subversive and would have been a modest but symbolic victory for the museum.

I did the background in oils, and the boy in watercolor. It took me about 7 hours? I did this at Merrilyn's and only go there once a week for two hours.
Anyway, I'm really pleased with this. I like it because I can't tell if the boy is the one who set the fire, a ghost who died in the fire, or someone who just escaped from it

I don't believe it's morally permissible.

Going into the its SPSL South showdown against Puyallup, the Curtis football players knew they had to stop Puyallup's high octane offense.
They accomplished their mission.
Curtis intercepted Puyallup quarterback Brendan Illies five times, recovered a fumble and earned a 35-21 victory Thursday night at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.
Curtis running back EJ Deveaux, who had 186 yards rushing and two interceptions from his defensive back position, said the plan was to keep a Puyallup offense that scored 55 points against Kentlake last week in check.
"We just wanted to pound it on the ground. We blocked hard and ran hard as a team. We played good defense and created a lot of turnovers. That was the key," Deveaux said. "Turnovers win games."
Despite Curtis (3-1, 3-1 league) dominating time of possession and turnovers, Puyallup (1-3, 1-3) wouldn't go away. Justin Janker's 53-yard touchdown catch with 9:13 left cut the lead to 21-14.
On the ensuing kickoff, Deveaux bobbled the ball before picking it up at the 5-yard line and returning it for a touchdown to all but put the game away.
At Kentlake 14, Auburn Riverside 10: Six days after helping set an SPSL single-game scoring record with 76 points against Puyallup, the Falcons (3-1, 2-1 SPSL North) mustered only 14 points against the Ravens (1-3, 1-3), but it was enough.
A goal-line stand with less than three minutes to go preserved the victory.
At Graham-Kapowsin 46, Emerald Ridge 27: Behind a rushing attack that totaled 486 yards, the Eagles (3-1, 2-1 SPSL South) were able to pick up a win.
Teague James (14 carries, 170 yards and two touchdowns) and Kahlil Dawson (four carries, 168 yards and a touchdown) proved to be too much for the Jaguars (0-4, 0-4).

How to Speak like a Painting
(Virtually monolingual, I'm about to discuss words as they work in English. My knowledge of languages that live off different fundaments entirely is sparse.)
Like its talkative residents, the words of the Earth each have distinct personalities. I see these personalities on a spectrum: a word's power ranges from the universality of the word's concept (how applicable it is to everything), to the specific vibrancy of a word's relevant image. An "image word" as I'll call it, is actually red and collapsible and fat, colorful and shapely and sidelit– pomegranate, rash; and, neurologically, they might also engage our olfactory or auditory brain levels– cilantro, jackhammers. One word, of course, can conjure only so many sight details–that's one reason we have sentences, and are able to craft huge, polyadic scenes. Wallace Stevens in his poem "Of the Surface of Things" accumulates detail sentence by sentence: "The gold tree is blue./ The singer has pulled his cloak over his head."
Sometimes one word can drip with an entire scenery. Notice the breadth of detail stocked in these singular words: Yacht. Eiffel. Scaffolding. Words can move us to see — not with our eyes, with direct perception, but with our minds — coverflaps of old novels, flashbacks of a sweaty moon bounce, or sun-broken trees from the vantage of a slowing car. The most layered scene — one with great potential for metaphor– will usually require many words. But the words, at least some of them, will always require an imagery; the words sky and sun and sea and trees are so common in poetry & everyday talk because they give us imagery 101. They ground us immediately in a world we know– because we've experienced it– is involved in our life.
Concept words, usefully, lack such life.
Require, Understand, Best, and From are some words more conceptual than visual. They were not created to harness our thoughts toward rich, magniloquent pictures. In fact, the opposite; they exist as vessels of time, engines that expedite the thinking process, and organize many statues/ glances/ fountains into non-visual 'categories.' With concept words we can succinctly say Girl, I'm the best outfielder from the cute part of Maine, a sentence some of whose words abbreviate the specific (the visual, the real). Our single-and-loving-it softball player, by saying best, is summarizing: she's the fastest, strongest, gets the most air. In one word, she says all of this, or perhaps none of this; she makes her point, nonchalant and open-ended. From, near the same area of the spectrum, says that I (a visual, physical being) lived in a place throughout time (think: a large sequence of seen moments); and, though I've left, I still resonate with my roots.
It's tedious. Concept words are helpful in this way, "wrapping up" a large amount of crisper ideas so we can inflict a summary, get to the point. Language, speedy indeed, activates many of the same areas of the brain used in your eyes' direct seeing; with this muscle you can mentally "re-see" and even combine memories, to create new head-films: this is imagination. Thus you can "picture" a dragon with treasure OCD — however hazy that image is — even if you're in Nashua. Concepts are products of the human brain, but their origins are in imagery — in the earth that is quite wordless without us.
Try this, if you'd like: pay attentive the vague, sensitive movement of a shape in your mind, when you read the word Into. Something pushes. Something gives. But the mental shape is nebulous, pale, nearly colorless. This is the concept: you only "see" this because you did see it, once before, days or years ago: a strong adult, wading into the river. The word, though, is so general, maneuvered away from specific fable, that its reality has faded almost completely. It might help to think of words as topography: if the word Piñata evokes the flakes of detail a street map would, zoom out to the state map: there, Birthday lies. Vaguer, but still pink & green. Zoom further out to the globe view, on par with the blurry, but highly applicable, Fun.
Where on the map has the most fun?
Concepts words must be supporting actors in the realms of poetry, prose, and schmoozing, where bloody lips and lakehouse eyes are the stuff of successful wooing. Makes sense why "You're just–so–beautiful…" feels hawkward date one. If that's the level of your highly-prepared body the guy can appreciate, he's basically whispering across the dinner table, "I'm really into qualities," and "You have, like, multiple features." (Funny enough, "You're so beautiful" does have a deep, poetic power–somewhere–despite its inherent, inescapable summary. I'll get to that.)
No, concepts thrive in the boardroom, in philosophy ("let's talk about everyone"), and in everyday conversations, when speed is often a must; where language jogs, through categories of tinier, visual moments. Concepts are efficient. Organization is fast. Say two stockholders are at the bar, and one suggests a Mexican enterprise: the other could give a shit, if the pesos in question are "crisp, newly printed, and resting like virgins in my safe."
If you slow down your Fiat, roll down your window, and ask a Hoobastank teen for directions to the town hall, he probably won't stop between "go right" and "go right again" and mention the church there, just bathing in light from the diners.
Say he did mention that church, though. You'd notice it, and probably get to town hall faster.
With stories, we tell our companions how we've been getting by without them. But we've been so immersed, first-person protagonists, that we're likely to forget our listener wasn't there. She needs communion, our help in painting her verbal watercolor. That's why stories our lovers tell us are funnier, with that special victory to them — perhaps nostalgic of literature — when they layer with a few "unneeded" details, humble they may be. Did the mussels come with toast? Was the air romantic or something? What kind of prison did the swingers' room look like?
In poems and in gossip, our audience will feel let in, as cognitive as we'd been in visually organizing the world, if we share the blessing that is seeing. Once we're both in the field, the listener has room to breathe, to imagine herself in your story– and the talker can spring more loosely through the crops. He can keep describing the kernels
"each one appeared ready to unhinge, rotted, and frolic the current with me–"
or he can generalize
"it was all about union."
But, to mean anything, this latter generalization needs a picture. A field needs a kernel.
And yet, as we know, life throbs far deeper than the optic surface. "Don't judge a book by its cover," nor by its setting. Thankfully, once a talker has reached out to us in scenery, the concepts he intersperses are un-vivid– but not to a fault. Instead, they exist as limbs of a diverse, intelligent being, with both antennae and arms.
Poems often end on conceptual lines. You'll see them– relatively common in wordplay and vocabulary, the weight lies instead with the breathlessness of a general human; Ashbery's "Of remembrance, whispers out of time." Plath's closing line; "I shall be as good as new." No words you'd need to look up, not the words these poets preceded with: calico, wainscotted, fruit. The poet wants her epitaph to exist beyond imagery, and so meaning occurs in the soul. A concept bears the weight of a hundred wants.
He grips the steering wheel and looks out over Dawson's Creek. "You're–so–beautiful…" he murmurs, over a voice crack. He's trying to elaborate, but he hasn't the focus. He's staring at you. His pits sweat.
There's nothing to describe.

There are far too many fragments and parties involved in designing and installing a roof system. How can a building owner get the whole story?
Read more about roofing products …
Most building owners think about their roof only when there's a problem—usually a leak. By that time, water has already caused damage to valuable merchandise, slowed production, and/or caused a slip-and-fall accident. Once the damage is done, all the building owner can do is call a roofing contractor and get the roof repaired. Though no roof is maintenance free, taking these four steps can reduce life-cycle costs.
