WHEN the Congress of People's Deputies session takes a break, the halls outside the chamber fill with legislators. Reporters swarm around recognizable political leaders, camera lights shining to illuminate faces, tape recorders running to catch every quote.
Looking on are people like Boris Chefranov, a factory manager in the provincial city of Belgorod, about 400 miles south of Moscow. For just over the last two years, he has been a part-time legislator, making the biannual trek to the capital to fulfill his duties as a people's deputy at the Congress.
Though largely anonymous in the halls of Russia's supreme legislature, Mr. Chefranov and deputies like him are casting the critical votes that are determining Russia's future.
For deputies from the fringes of Russia, many of whom were Communist Party members, making up one's own mind is still an alien concept.
"Deputies have dual responsibilities," Chefranov says.
"We are entitled to have our own opinion, but we must also answer to the electorate."
In the case of constitutional amendments that would have stripped President Boris Yeltsin of his power to name Cabinet members, Chefranov's personal opinion overrode all other considerations and he voted against the proposal.
"As a factory director, I want the right to select or get rid of a section head," he says. "Yeltsin should have the right to select his team."
In a society used to keeping quiet, many deputies are reluctant to reveal their positions on issues, such as the future of Acting Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar.
Omar Sharadze, a legislator and railway supervisor from Nizhny Novgorod, 250 miles east of Moscow, defended the use of a secret ballot to decide the constitutional amendments.
"You can only get an honest result if the vote is held in secret," he says. "A lot of people don't trust the electronic voting system."
Publicly, Mr. Sharadze supports Acting Prime Minister Gaidar, but his comments indicate that his opinion could change if he was not accountable for his vote.
Fyodor Inshakov, a part-time deputy from the mountainous Kuban region in southern Russia, is also supportive of Gaidar, calling him the most qualified person to oversee economic reform. But at the same time, Mr. Inshakov says a prime minister should be more than just an economic manager.
"I'll be sorry if he is forced out, but he will need to become a real prime minister if he wins the support of Congress," Inshakov says of Gaidar.

A truck driver slammed into a passenger vehicle during a lane change, causing a St. Louis County truck accident. The truck accident occurred on northbound Interstate 55, south of Butler Hill Road.
Kenneth L. Lox of Arnold, Missouri attempted to change lanes in a 2006 Kenworth. During the lane change, the Kenworth crashed into a 2006 Chrysler Sebring. The driver of the Chrysler sustained the only injuries in the accident. Jeff A. Wicker, 49, was transferred to St. Anthony's Medical Center.
Truck drivers have a duty to exercise due care when changing lanes. Tractor trailers and semi-trucks are substantially larger than passenger vehicles like SUVs and cars. If a large truck negligently attempts to change lanes and crashes into a smaller vehicle, the smaller vehicle may be totaled. The occupants of the passenger vehicles are likely to suffer foreseeable injuries as well.
Truck drivers should make sure that their blind spots are empty before attempting a lane change. Large trucks have extensive blind spots, so truck drivers must work harder to ensure that they are empty. Drivers of passenger vehicles may check their blind spots sufficiently by looking over their shoulder, but truck drivers must do more. When truck drivers cause accidents by failing to sufficiently check their blind spots before a lane change, a St. Louis truck accident attorney can hold that truck driver accountable in a court.

"What's the most important major?" This debate belongs in the barroom-question hall of
fame, alongside "Jack or Tiger?" and "Pacino or DeNiro?" But thanks to the weak dollar, proponents of the British Open can make their strongest argument yet against the supremacy of the Masters:
Money talks.
Historically the least lucrative of the majors, the two-dollars-to-one-pound exchange rate has made the British Open more generous than Brad and Angelina in an African village with no electricity. The Open now dispenses a cool $8.4
million in prize money, with $1.5 million going to the winner. Trevor Immelman
took home $1.35 million when he won this year's Masters, the same amount Tiger
Woods pocketed at the U.S. Open. And the winner of next month's PGA Championship gets just $1.26 million (or roughly just enough to rent a car in the U.K. for a week).
Sure, the weather's a little cool and wet at Royal Birkdale, but don't weep for all the Tour pros dressed like
snowboarders, hacking through the seaside dunes. They have plenty of reasons to
be here. Plus, with Tiger Woods at home, there's more money for the rest of them.
And while everyone's been bashing Kenny Perry for skipping
this tournament, he might actually be pretty crafty. With all the best players over
here, Perry has his eye on the U.S. Bank Championship's $720,000 first prize in Milwaukee. Good
work if you can get it.

In addition to the Chaos Spawn and Obliterators, I've been working on Cultists for my Death Guard Chaos Marines. They represent the sort of ragtag force that form around a Chaos invasion like flies, hoping for mercy or a chance to be blessed by the Chaos gods. They are formed from Imperial Guard deserters, hive block rabble, forgotten menial workers, and assorted ex-prisoners and madmen/women.
The miniatures are from several ranges, including 40K, Necromunda, Warhammer, and some others (potentially Shadowforge, but I can't remember their origins). An Imperial world is wide open for dress and appearance, from the tarnished military precision of the cult leader (as well as his Dawn of War inspired back harness, nicked from Chronopia), the ragged diseased mutants of the inner circle, and the outer circle, less touched by Grandfather Nurgle, desperate for absolution.

GREENSBORO, N.C. � The No. 7 Virginia women�s swimming and diving team captured its seventh consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference Championship on Saturday. The seven titles in a row is a record for ACC women�s swimming and diving and is the Cavaliers� 12th overall title.
In the 200-yard backstroke, sophomore Courtney Bartholomew (Holland) successfully defended her conference title, winning in an ACC Championship record time of 1:52.37. It is Bartholomew�s fourth individual ACC title, adding to her 100 back championships from Thursday evening and last season.
"I was really happy. Wednesday just set the tone for the entire weekend," Bartholomew said. "Excellence was the goal and we did that. For me personally, I am happy with the wins, not happy with the times. I am not shaved or tapered, so I probably should be but I wanted to go a little faster."
The Cavaliers finished with 1,433 points, followed by second-place North Carolina with 1,205.

Woodson finished with a career-high 29 points.
GVSU women keep playoff hopes alive

Senior guard Dani Crandall's three-point play in the closing seconds capped a 15-point comeback by the Lakers.
Crandall finished with 16 points.

Colors one step away from Sony
MUMBAI: Colors is one step behind Sony Entertainment Television, the closest it has got to this year as it strives to occupy the No. 2 spot in the Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) space.
Colors gained marginally through its weekend one-hour special airing of a fiction property while Sony lost eight GRPs (gross rating points) to narrow the gap between the second and third GECS to just a single point.
Colors scored 208 GRPs for the week ended 11 February, helped by its recently launched daily fiction property, Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha, that clocked 2 TVR in its special airing on Saturday-Sunday. The Viacom18 channel added 4 GRPs over the preceding week, gaining 5 GRPs from its weekend programming.
Sony, on the other hand, rested the week ended 11 February with 209 GRPs, down from 217 GRPs. The channel, which rejuvenated on the back of the Amitabh Bachchan-hosted game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) last year, lost six GRPs from its weekday primetime content and two points from the weekend properties. Its two top-rated shows, C.I.D and Bade Achche Lagte Hain, fell to an average TVR of 3.8 and 2.9 respectively, from their trailing week ratings of 4.1 and 3.2.
The narrowest gap between the two rivals this year was seven GRPs in the week ended 28 January, after Colors had briefly toppled Sony in the last week of 2011 due to its in-house television awards show, Golden Petal Awards that fetched a TVR of 4.98.
"The place for the second position has opened up. It will be interesting to see what strategies Sony and Colors adopt in the year," says a media analyst.
Market leader, Star Plus, lost 36 GRPs and ended the week with 273 GRPs, according to TAM data for the Hindi speaking markets (C&S, 4+). The channel saw a dip in viewership in all the slots (weekday primetime, weekend primetime and afternoon). The channel?s popular shows, Saathiya Saath Nibhana, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Ha, Diya Aur Bati Hum and Iss Pyar ko Kya Nam Du lost ratings.
Zee TV, the fourth GEC in the pecking order, added 23 GRPs on the back of Zee Cine Awards (4.38 TVR) that was aired on 5 February at the 8 pm slot. The channel ended with 202 GRPs (last week 179).
Sony Entertainment Network?s second offering, Sab, registered 142 GRPs (last week 132). The channel?s most-watched fiction comedy, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma, found its way to the Top 10 GEC programme list for the week ended 11 February, garnering 3.84 TVR.
Life OK, Star?s second GEC, gained 4 GRPs to end the week with 87 GRPs.
Imagine TV with 57 GRPs (last week 55) and Sahara One with 46 GRPs (last week 48) continued to occupy the bottom of the GEC ladder.

So, here it is: Every Sunday, I will present something for you to take part in and share the results in the comments either here, on our Facebook page, or even on your own blog! Of course, you can always follow along and choose to keep some, or all, results private. The "assignment" might be a journaling prompt to get you thinking or researching your chosen path - in order to help you build your personal Grimoire; it may be an image or photograph for you to focus on and draw intuitive conclusions from; a creative or artistic project; or perhaps even an energy-manipulation exercise to work on and practice at home.
Today's post revolves around one simple photo. Let your intuition and first impressions guide you. Practice is the key to success to Psychic abilities. Here are some questions to help you get the energy flowing:
- What do you feel, hear, smell, taste? Did animals live there?
- Do you see or sense spirits in the image? Who is there?
- Can you mentally place yourself in the photo? How does it "feel" to be there?
- What kind of trees are in the back yard? How does the interior look?
- Are you getting a sense of a particular date, year, address, name?
- What happened there, if anything? Is something "going to" happen there?
The images presented might be random photos from various locations where nothing paranormal has been publicly reported (though that doesn't necessarily mean nothing "happened"), so if you "get nothing", then maybe there is "nothing to get"! With much practice, anyone can develop Psychic awareness and I don't want you to feel embarrassed if you can't sense something, or if you struggle in getting an inaccurate impression. Try not to "make something up" - just relax and see what comes to mind. Oh, and finally, please give it an honest try and don't cheat by searching online. Some of the things I will be presenting , like this one, are not publicized on the Internet anyway. ;)
On Sunday, February 14, 2016, I will publicize the known data related to this image in a new post for the next Silent Sunday activity! I will place answers close to the bottom of the page so that hopefully, a few years from now, others who stumble on these posts will still be able to play along without accidentally running into the answers before they get a chance to try. Meanwhile, I will try and reply to your comments about it here and on Facebook without giving too many "clues". Have fun!

The Game, Fish and Parks Department has had a few reports of wildlife losses resulting from the early October blizzard in western South Dakota, but the extent of the blizzard's impact will take time to determine.
"The focus has been on public safety and dealing with catastrophic livestock losses," Chad Switzer, GFP wildlife program administrator, said in a GFP news release. "We have only had a scattering of reports from landowners and other individuals who are out in the fields. There is no question that the blizzard had an impact on wildlife, but we have not observed or had any reports of any wildlife losses at a level comparable to the devastating impacts this storm had on livestock. "
Switzer added GFP also has received reports of pheasant loss in Perkins and Bennett counties due to the storm.
"These are vast, open areas where it is difficult to quantify precise impacts from the blizzard," Switzer said. "We will continue to monitor for losses through observations by our staff and reports from hunters and landowners."

Madonna's ecstasy confession
- Bang Showbiz
- 11 March 2008
Madonna revealed she once took ecstasy, during her acceptance speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night (10.03.08).
The pop superstar made the shock confession as she was inducted at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel. She also confessed to smoking marijuana.
After accepting the prestigious accolade from Justin Timberlake, Madonna said: "The night I met Michael Rosenblatt, who signed me to Sire Records, I jammed my demo tape into his hand, we both did a tab of ecstasy and then we danced the night away."
The 'Material Girl' singer spoke of her cannabis experiences when she recalled the night she met long-term publicist Liz Rosenberg, adding: "We smoked a joint together."
In one of the longest speeches in the ceremony's history, Madonna, 49, also thanked the people who had put her down, saying they made her strive to be a better performer.
She said: "The ones that said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn't sing, that I was a one-hit wonder. They pushed me to be better, and I am grateful for their resistance."
Justin, who has collaborated with Madonna on her upcoming album 'Hard Candy', used the occasion to make a few thinly-veiled comments about ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, who Madonna famously kissed at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
He said: "The world is full of Madonna wannabes. I might have even dated a couple. But there is truly only one Madonna.
"She has still found time to kiss someone I may or may not have publicly kissed myself while I was in the audience.
"Of course, you know I'm talking about Sean Penn!"
'SexyBack' singer Justin also revealed Madonna gave him vitamin injections when they worked together.
He said: "We had a recording session in London and I wasn't feeling well. She said, 'Would you like a B12 shot?' She reached into her handbag, pulled out a bag of B12 syringes and said, 'Drop 'em!'
"I don't know what you say to that, so I dropped my pants. She gave me the shot in my a**. It was one of the greatest days of my life. That is what Madonna will always be to us. The shot in the a** when we really need it!"
Other musicians to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year included The Dave Clark Five and Leonard Cohen.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognises the work of artists 25 years after the release of their first record.
Around 1,000 experts, including journalists, music industry professionals and academics vote on nominees - selected by a committee of music historians - based on their influence and significance on rock and roll music.
Previous inductees include Elvis Presley, The Beatles, James Brown and Led Zeppelin.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2008 performer inductees:

Josh in Translation
A smile is all for which you bloom...
Said the flower "even a smile my friend,
who receives in this garden of gloom"
Original by 'Josh':
Gunche teri zindagi pe dil hilta hai,
Bas ek tabassum ke liye khilta hai...
gunche ne kaha ki "Is chaman mei.n baba,
Ye ek tabassum bhi kise milta hai"

Even If you had the 500 pages plus Diwan of Josh, it would be a hard index to find, unless you are an avid read of teh Urdu language.....my question was, where did you hear it?
- 4:31 PM, February 23, 2009
- The Illusionist said...
meer: i read this first in tasneem's mukri's collection of selected urdu poetry around 10-12 years ago, or maybe even more, and it simply stuck in my mind :). Although the book wasn't a great one, i will be eternally grateful to it for introducing me to some of the best urdu poets...

Ah! thank you for the reference. My memory of the poem goes to that documentary on Ustad Amir Khan's Documentary on something that people hardly remember about, Doordarshan. The Ustad replies with these very lines when asked if he was happy.
And, yes,a lovely translation.

Thanks for the translation!
I thought about the rhyming issue for a couple of minutes, but no luck yet... it does seem hard, at least with *oom and *ume.

First it's the hype over who is slipping on the Walther, then the buzz about which lady catches Bond's eye as she slinks across the casino floor – now we're all set for a couple of months of back-and-forth about the Bond theme .
The whispers on the web last week suggested that Tina Turner was kicking off the slippers and heading out of retirement for a one-off warbling session for 007. At the same time, we hear pop princesses Girls Aloud are gearing up to record a spy theme for a movie… surely not?
However, for those of you who caught Brit synth-sensation Goldfrapp in London this past weekend, you may have noted that leggy lead songstress Alison Goldfrapp announced that they were involved in writing the Casino Royale theme.
The electro-popsters certainly fit in with Bond composer David Arnold's taste but we're not so sure it's nailed just yet.

As I looked at her, overcome on lust, I was also overcome by absolute adoration, that this woman whom I loved that has been so inhibited has enchanted such a bold step over the precipice from prude to overtly sexually daredevil woman. No more than a two hours ago having her conformist sensibilities shocked by finding some the most kinky and depraved videos in existence on her husband's computer, coming to terms with them and accepting his kinks and then admitting and coming to terms with her own. Now she was about to play them out with him, with me. I was so undeniable, the head of my cock so engorged with blood I though it might split extended.

Hackensaw Boys

About Hackensaw Boys
The Hackensaw Boys are not a family band. Instead, the name comes from their freewheeling approach to bluegrass and roots music. The Hackensaw Boys play acoustic music with the joyous abandon of a rock band, hacking at their guitars and mandolins, and sawing at their fiddles. The group was formed in 1999 in Charlottesville, Virginia. The original lineup featured Rob Bullington on mandolin and guitar, Tom Peloso on fiddle and upright bass, David Sickmen on guitar, and Bobby St. Ours on banjo and fiddle. The four musicians had crossed paths in the Virginia roots music community, and when Sickmen and Peloso decided to form a new group, they recruited Bullington and St. Ours. Initially, the Hackensaw Boys made their way busking for street traffic, and as their reputation spread, they graduated to club shows and theaters. They also added guitarist William Gage by year's end, as well as percussionist Justin Neuhardt. Neuhardt was responsible for creating one of the group's trademarks, the Charismo, a percussion instrument worn like a rubboard and made from tin cans, hubcaps, and bits of scrap metal.
By 2000, the group had a touring vehicle (a 1964 GMC Motor Coach) and began hitting the road at a steady pace. That year, they also recorded and self-released their first album, Get Some. The Hackensaw Boys soon began to expand, as members drifted in and out of the group. The Hackensaws have included as many as 12 musicians at a time, and according to the band, at least 21 people have been in the lineup at one time or another. In 2002, the Hackensaw Boys self-released a live album, Give It Back, and signed a deal with Valley Entertainment, who put out the band's second studio project, Keep It Simple. (They also reissued Get Some.) Also in 2002, the group took part in the Unlimited Sunshine Tour, a traveling festival headlined and curated by Cake. Sharing the stage with Cake, the Flaming Lips, De La Soul, and Modest Mouse, the tour introduced the Hackensaw Boys to a new and more eclectic audience. (The tour also introduced Tom Peloso to Modest Mouse; Peloso would leave the Hackensaw Boys to tour and record with Modest Mouse in 2004.) In 2003, country music legend Charlie Louvin took part in the Unlimited Sunshine Tour, and recruited the Hackensaw Boys to serve as his backing band. That year also marked the band's first appearance at the Bonnaroo Festival, as well as St. Ours' departure from the Hackensaws.
In 2000, the Hackensaw Boys signed a deal with Nettwerk Records, who released their third studio album, Love What You Do. David Sickmen left the group the same year, though that didn't slow down the Hackensaws' touring schedule, as they continued to play festivals and theaters in America and Europe. Retro-roots artist Pokey LaFarge joined the group in 2006 for a short run before going on to a solo career. The Hackensaw Boys' second album for Nettwerk, Look Out!, arrived in 2007. Not long after it hit the streets, Nettwerk and the Hackensaws went their separate ways, and they self-released their next EP, 2010's The Old Sound of Music, Vol. 1. (The second volume appeared in 2011.) The group had been shrinking into a more practical size during this period, with Bullington striking out on his own in 2011. It wasn't until 2013 that they released a new album, a live set titled Live 'Til the Sweet By and By. (Another live disc, For the Love of a Friend: Live in Kinderdijk, appeared before 2013 was out.) In 2014, banjo player Jimmy Stelling, who had ended an eight-year run with the band in 2007, returned to the lineup, while David Sickmen rejoined the Hackensaws the previous year. Joined by fiddler Ferd Moyse and percussionist Brian Gorby, the Hackensaw Boys once again had a stable touring and recording lineup. In 2016, the Hackensaw Boys returned with their first studio album in nine years, Charismo, named for their trademark percussion instrument.

When I was bike racing, I spent a lot of time out on the roads training, doing directed activities that put enjoyment on the back burner in favor of making myself more efficient and faster. That kind of riding feels a lot like work, and is a quick ticket to burnout. So every once in a while, my friends and I would go out for a soul ride. This was usually a sprawling, undirected, fun ride with no pretensions of seriousness or training; the only race was to the next stop sign or to get home before dusk. I always found that kind of riding to be energizing, a remembrance of the two-wheeled lifestyle and the exploration and freedom cycling afforded me as a child. Now that I've retired from racing, I view every ride as a soul ride, a chance to get out and forget daily worries, chat with friends and occasionally sprint for the next stop sign.
Much of design is like training. It can be hard to see the benefits from one project to the next, or one unappreciative client to another, and easy to forget the reason why you chose this profession over something else. I see design as a lifestyle. When it starts to feel too much like work I grow impatient and frustrated. And I need the design equivalent of a soul ride.
Over the last two years at frog I've done a couple of projects that I'm really fond of. Not only because the work turned out great, but also because of how the team came together, how effortless the process felt, and how that enhanced the final result. In particular I remember working with users, collaborating with them to improve the medical product we were designing and sharing their excitement that together we were making something better. That, to me is a soul ride moment, a space where it all makes sense.
Gaining respect and being taken seriously seem to be persistent themes in design forums. Certainly we spend a lot of time practicing our craft, training for the next task. That focus is great, but can also burn you out. I encourage my designers to think holistically about the design practice, to think of it as a lifestyle and to focus on the non-obvious elements that provide them pleasure. Ultimately, it's those wonderful moments that will keep them interested, make them better thinkers, and shape their careers over the long haul.

Mount a VHD file in Windows 2008 or SBS 2008
Note: This can also be used on Windows Server 2003 and SBS 2003
Finding yourself in a situation where you need to browse a vhd file, whether because you need to restore files from a backup and Windows Server Backup console doesn't help you or you just need to get some files off a vhd file, the sad truth is that attaching/mounting a VHD file in Windows 2008 and SBS 2008 is a bit more complicated compared to the easiness that this happens in the newer versions 2008 R2 and SBS 2011( 2008 R2 article here ). Here we don't have Attach VHD in Disk Management nor we have a smart Diskpart that can mount it for us. It comes to the help of another Microsoft product called Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 which is FREE. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2994
You don't need to install or use the whole software, you just need one of it's features called VHD Mount and you can install only this component if you chose a Custom installation. It is a command line utility so after you are done with the Virtual Server installation you will have to open CMD and navigate to the installation path, usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Server\vhdmount.
So here is how it goes to mount and unmount an image.
vhdmount /m "C:\blabla\blabla.vhd"
Then it mounts the image and it will appear in Computer as an additional partition
Do what you want to do with the image and once you are done you should unmount it. There are two ways to do it.
– If you have done any changes to the vhd file you can unmount it and save the changes:
vhdmount /u "C:\blabla\blabla.vhd" /c
– Or if you want to discard any changes:
vhdmount /u "C:\blabla\blabla.vhd" /d
A software engineer wrote a regkey script that should enable you to right-click a .vhd file and have the option of Mount and Dismount. Personally it didn't work for me and command line is far too easy to use so it doesn't really matter that much, but for those that want to give it a try here is the file.
These are the vhdmount switches you might be using. Chose the appropriate combo. Best advise if to use /m with F
/p – Plugs in the specified VHD as a virtual disk device without mounting the volume.
/m – Plugs in the specified VHD as a virtual disk device and mounts the volume.
/f – Performs the specified operation without creating an Undo Disk. This parameter is applicable for /p and /m. All changes to the mounted disk are directly written to the specified VHD.
/u – Unplugs the virtual disk device for the specified VHDFileName.
/c – Updates the original VHD with all changes that were stored in the Undo Disk anddeletes the Undo Disk after unplugging the disk. This parameter is only applicable if the VHD was mounted without using /f.
/d – Discards all changes to the mounted disk and deletes the Undo Disk after unplugging the disk. This parameter is only applicable if the VHD was mounted without using /f.
/q – Displays the disk name of the mounted virtual disk device for the specified VHDFileName.
VHDFileName – VHD name including full path.
DriveLetter – Optional parameter for /m option. If drive letter is specified the volumes are mounted starting at the specified drive letter. If drive letter is not specifiedit is automatically assigned.
All – Applies the operation on all mounted virtual disk devices. This parameter is applicable for /u and /q.
By default, VHDMount creates an Undo Disk in current user's temporary folder. All changes to the mounted disk are written to this Undo Disk. Use /c to commit or /d to discard these changes at the time of unplugging the disk device. Use /f option to mount a VHD without an Undo Disk.
VHDMOUNT /p [/f] VHDFileName
VHDMOUNT /m [/f] VHDFileName [DriveLetter]
VHDMOUNT /u [/c | /d] VHDFileName | All
VHDMOUNT /q VHDFileName | All

People's Gallery
San Francisco, CA 94110
The People's Gallery is a gallery organized by Jana Blankenship, Harrell Fletcher and Jens Hoffmann located in the Mission district of San Francisco. The gallery will run from March 16, 2011 through February 5, 2012 and will present six solo exhibitions over the course of that period. The People's Gallery is an extension of Fletcher's and Hoffmann's People's Biennial, a large group exhibition that brings together artists and art works from five distinct American cities: Portland, Winston-Salem, Haverford, Scottsdale and Rapid City. The six artists that will be presented as part of the People's Gallery program are all participating in the People's Biennial.
The People's Gallery functions as a platform to look in depth into the work of these six artists and give them the opportunity to develop a whole solo exhibition under fully professional conditions. The name of the gallery has two points of departure: One being Howard Zinn's classic publication A People's History of the United States that tells the history of the US from the perspective of the disenfranchised, the discriminated, the excluded and marginalized. The other is Group Material's 1981 exhibition People's Choice in New York, an exhibition with material from residents that live on the block Group Material's storefront space was located on.

For an island just over 200 square miles, Guam's topography is as diverse as its people. Its landscape ranges from the limestone cliffs of the north to the cityscapes of the central region, to the grassy, clay-like mountains of the south – each offering ownership of the waters that border all.
Guam is also the largest of the more than 2,000 islands in the vast region of Micronesia. The region of consists of the modern political states: the Federated States of Micronesia containing all of the islands of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae; the Republic of Belau (or Palau); the Republic of the Marshall Islands; the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; and, parts of the Republic of Kiribati, Nauru, and Ocean Island.
Guam, being a tropical island, has a relatively humid and warm climate throughout the year. While high atmospheric humidity and high air temperatures in the 80-degree Fahrenheit range prevails, the island can be cooler during the months of December through April when the trade winds are strongest and the humidity is lower.
Typhoon weather conditions have always threatened Guam and the neighboring islands. Such storms ravage the landscape, uproot the tallest of trees and lay the terrain bare. But as always, the island and its people recover.
The last big storm hit Guam in December 2002, destroying homes and cutting off power and water to thousands of families for weeks.

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - Local eighth graders got the chance to explore future careers at the Career Discovery Day, held Tuesday at the Lake Charles Civic Center.
The event was a coordinated effort by local business, school and community leaders.
"With this new industrial expansion coming on, there's going to be many, many, many jobs available," said Bob Smith, Career Discovery Day Chair.
"There's everything from marine tech and welding, machinists and pipe-fitters. We want to introduce these kids into the possibility that they can get into a tremendous career, after they undergo some training after they get out of high school," said Smith.
An estimated 4,000 students from the five-parish area attended the event, which was sponsored by Sasol.

Speaker: Ao Kevin Tang, California Institute of Technology
Price based resource allocation has been widely used in networking because of its distributed nature and provable optimality. There are two implicit yet fundamental assumptions underlying it: the homogeneity of price and users being price takers. However, there are important networks where these assumptions are violated that need new frameworks.
During the first part of the talk, we study the equilibrium of networks that are shared by heterogeneous congestion control protocols. The standard utility maximization framework breaks down in such a heterogeneous network. We develop a new theory that characterizes all major equilibrium properties such as existence, uniqueness, optimality, and stability. Surprisingly we show that, unlike a homogeneous network, a heterogeneous network can have multiple equilibrium points, and we propose a slow timescale control that steers the network to the unique optimal equilibrium. In the second part, we focus on wireless medium access control (MAC). We show that the contention resolution algorithm in MAC protocols is implicitly participating in a non-cooperative game. Each link attempts to maximize a selfish local utility function, whose exact shape is reverse-engineered from the protocol description. We further characterize its Nash equilibrium. In particular, we establish the minimum amount of backoff aggressiveness needed, as a function of density of active users, for uniqueness of and convergence to a Nash equilibrium. In contrast to TCP, the MAC results highlight the non-cooperative nature of random access. In terms of tools, game theory plays the main role instead of optimization and control theories. At the end of the talk, we discuss connections between these problems and related ones in economics and mathematics.

BT has no great record of predicting what the big future applications of technology will be, says Graham Cosier, head of applications at the telco. But Cosier has given a glimpse of some future developments BT is working on, including food with chips, and the healthy cyborg.
Cosier laid out some possible futures while visiting New Zealand as part of a technology showcase, set up to accompany the stop-off of the BT Challenge yachts in the Antipodes.
He said BT is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a 'penny PC', a cheap processor which could be inserted into food packaging so the consumer could access a record of all the treatments the food and its ingredients have had.
But this stuff is child's play compared to some of the other visions. Not only might our televisions and stereos call up repair stations and download new software, the human body may one day do the same, Cosier says. Online physiological monitoring via implants would report the condition of the user's body so he or she could take corrective action, or report to a doctor.
Laboratory experiments have succeeded in implanting small amounts of gold into biological molecules, where they might act as contacts for electrical signals. These signals could set off a response in the body to generate more of a particular protein or other substance to restore equilibrium.
Cosier showed video footage of a man with a particular variant of Parkinson's disease losing his tremor and being able to walk and finely control his fingers when two 'transponders' implanted in his body were remotely activated to steady his movements.

Meet the Volunteers - Jennifer Smith
Our 'Meet the Volunteers' blog series is back! We'll start this block with the brilliant Jennifer Smith, who has been volunteering with both our Create Saturday classes and our Aspire group.
"I am a ceramicist based at the Fireworks studio in Glasgow making illustrated, functional ware. I use a variety of techniques including slip casting, throwing and hand building. I then use these forms as canvases for my original illustrations. I often use a technique called sgraffito to carve my designs into the clay. These line drawings are picked out using a stain or slip inlay and coloured with underglaze.
In the past I have set up creative workshops and taught classes with a number of creative organisations and absolutely loved it so I was looking for more opportunities where I could get involved. Having seen some of the brilliant work made at Project Ability when I came to their exhibitions, I was really pleased to get the opportunity to volunteer here.
I volunteer for both the Saturday Create classes and the Monday Aspire classes which is brilliant because I get to work with people of all ages. I've found that the experience of working with both classes has really helped me get the most out of the time I've got here.
As I've gotten to know the artists better I've found it really interesting to see what they're drawn to. A lot of the time the work reflects their interests or their affinity for a particular medium and hearing about the ideas behind the work is just as interesting as the work itself. The work is boundless too. It's really exciting to have someone ask for a 6ft canvas in the morning and have a huge masterpiece completed by the afternoon. The facilities here allow for an incredible creative freedom with ceramics, glass, printmaking, painting, drawing, and sculpture all at your fingertips. In helping the artists I've learnt new printmaking techniques, creative ways to scale up initial drawings and how to be more instinctive in the way I make my own work.
The workshop leaders have also been brilliant to work with. They've been really generous in offering me advice, sharing their experience and even supplying a good Saturday morning empire biscuit! There's a shared enthusiasm from everyone working here and it's infectious. I'm genuinely really sad that it's only another 8 weeks to go.
I think the most unexpected plus side has been the impact that volunteering here has had on my own work. I'm far less precious about coming up with ideas and far more bold to just try things and see. As a maker it's easy to become wrapped up in the 'right' way to do something, or the proper techniques. Of course there's some merit to that, but you can also unconsciously restrict yourself so I think it's done me good.
All in all working with Project Ability has really freed up my ideas and reinvigorated my work. I've met some brilliant people, had a lot of fun, I've also grown as an artist and learnt a lot. I look forward to seeing what innovative work the next 8 weeks will bring!"
Thank you Jennifer!

Tanya Raabe is back in the Project Ability studios
After her month long residency at Project Ability last March in order to document our International Summit for Learning Disability Artists and their Support Studios, Tanya Raabe is back in our workshops to work on her amazing tryptich.
The monumental piece has been unwrapped and after getting settled this morning, the artist is already hard at work. Tanya will be with us all week, adding the finishing touches to the piece. "I first have to reacquaint myself with the work, and to re-establish my relationship with it".
The tryptich showcases scenes from the International Summit, and will be exhibited in our gallery in January 2016.

Kevin Cantwell in residency at Gartnavel Royal
Project Ability volunteer and ReSearch artist Kevin Cantwell spent four days in residency at the Summerhouse in Gartnavel Royal Hospital, where he used found material to create beautiful sculptures inspired by the Summerhouse's gardens.
On Thursday 15 October, he was joined by a group of participants: pine cones and leaves were turned into whimsical fairies, pine needles became hedgehogs and orange leaves were perfect feathers for a little owl!
On Friday 16 October, Kevin was joined by his ReSearch collaborator John Cocozza, and the two artists started the frame-work on a squirrel.
Kevin Cantwell will be back in Gartnavel Royal Hospital on Friday 23rd October to present the work produced during his residency and for a quick artist talk: 1-2pm, The Summerhouse, Gartnavel Royal Hospital.

Kate Gorman in residency - Week 3
Textile artist Kate Gorman is entering her third week in residency with Project Ability and updates us on her process.
"Today I will be getting out the fabric dyes and seeing how my piece will come together. I have had some ideas for changes in the drawing over the weekend, and I will try to resolve the parts that aren't satisfying, but for now I want to experiment with dye and get a bit messy. Here is a bit of the unresolved section I am working on this week.
My trip to the Tenement House was really informative and useful. I am sure that the Tenement House was grander than my Gram's housing when she lived here in the early 1900's, but it gave me an idea of how she lived.
I started stitching last week on a large piece that I brought from home. My train trip on Friday to Mallaig and the ferry over to Skye gave me plenty of time to sit and sew. It was hard, because the scenery was so lovely, and I kept wanting to take photos! I am so grateful for the excellent train service here in the UK. Back home I drive everywhere, no multitasking there!
This is a small section where I have started to stitch.
And here is a bit of island scenery.... The Quiraing on the Isle of Skye. You can see why I didn't get much sewing accomplished!"

Platform residency - Week 4
"Today was great and I feel it went really well!
I started by blocking in what was left of the remaining large areas with colour.
I had to make some tough decisions about colour and the final composition. A few important things really needed to be resolved for the final composition to work but I think I've managed to do that. It's all about trying to achieve balance and harmony which isn't easy.
It was a frantic race against time but I got there …at the 'eleventh hour'.
I'm really looking for to seeing all four panels displayed in situ, in their entirety at Platform on the 24th of October".

Kate Gorman in residency - Week 2
American textile artist Kate Gorman has been with us for a week now, and is settling well in her studio.
"I can't believe how fortunate I am to have time and space to work in this wonderful setting. I have met many of the regular artists here and I look forward to seeing their work as I continue to work on my own piece.
The piece I started last week, featuring my great-grandmother at her sewing machine, has started to come together, but I think I need to visit a few local museums to get a better feel for the time and place (Glasgow tenements at the turn of the last century), so I am headed out this afternoon for Coatbridge and the Glasgow Tenement House.
Here is a preliminary drawing of the piece that will be drawn with dyes on fabric.
When I am not in the studio, I have been stitching and drawing and looking; trying to take in all of this wonderful city and country."
Kate Gorman will give a talk about her practice on Thursday 15 October at 12pm noon. Everybody welcome.

Platform residency - Week 3
"This week has been all about colour. Mixing up large quantities of acrylic paint and blocking in the larger areas and trying to define the background and foreground.
I think I've managed to achieve Ultimate Warrior's skin tones but will leave his colourful trade mark make-up for next week, that's when I'll start to focus on the finer details.
I've found a really great paint brush to work with. It's big and holds tons of paint but it's also really accurate for getting strong precise lines and edges too.
Its particularly sunny today and the colours are unbelievably vibrant in the sunshine.
Next week will be a real challenge as I try to pull all the elements together. Can't wait!"

Kate Gorman in residency - Week 1
Kate Gorman, an American textile artist from Ohio, will spend the month of October in residency at Project Ability. Today is her first day, and we are delighted to have her with us. She will be writing a weekly blog about her experience with us, starting today with a bit of background information.
"I am very excited to be starting my residency here at Project Ability. It is a quiet and rainy day for moving in. I am looking forward to working in my studio here and meeting students and artists when classes begin tomorrow.
This is my new studio at Project Ability. I'll post again, when I start working. It will not be this tidy again!
I have tried to stay open about what I am going to be doing for the next month. I have an idea of where I think I should be going, but I want to stay open to the ideas and influences I get from being in this new space surrounded by new people.
Back in Ohio, I work at a studio similar to Project Ability, the Goodwill Art Studio and Gallery.
Pictured here are Jeff Meadows, studio artist Charlotte McGraw with Staff Artist Cody Miller.
My own work is in textiles; I specialise in drawing on linen. Above (top) is a photo of a piece I did about my Grandmother from Glasgow. It is called "A Keeper Of Secrets and Parakeets"
I will be working on a piece specific to Glasgow and my family history. My Grandmother grew up in a tenement in Glasgow and immigrated to the United States via Canada when she was 18. I have a photo of her mother sitting at a sewing machine in their tiny apartment around 1910.
I am really looking forward to seeing where this month will take me!"

1. Kirsten is the figure who takes action in "The Cat's-Eye." Without her there would be no story, yet she is a villainess who is penalized for her self-absorption. On the other hand, Jessica is fairly passive; her contribution to the story is primarily to offer faint resistance to Kirsten and to otherwise go along with what Kirsten chooses to do. Does this mean that inaction, staying within boundaries is good, whereas defiant action is bad?
2. The point-of-view character in a story is not always the main character, although he or she often is. For instance, in most of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, the point-of-view character is Doctor Watson, but Holmes is plainly the main character. In "The Cat's-Eye," is the point-of-view character Jessica the main character, or is Kirsten the main character? How can you tell?

Video description: Scotty Zee is a filthy little whore. Horny for punishment, Scotty finally musters the courage to call Jessie Colter for his expert services. The boy arrives at Jessie's lounge and quickly falls under Jessie's spell. Standing by the roaring fireplace, Scotty strips at Jessie's command. He peels down his boxers to reveal his hard dick standing at attention. Jessie crops the boy and makes him declare just how much of a filthy whore he is. Scotty hungrily gags on Jessie's dick as Jessie promises that the torment's only begun. Jessie takes Scotty to the far side of the lounge, covers his body in rope and fixes him to the ceiling. Blinfolded, Scotty only gets harder as he feels Jessie's rough touch. Unknown to Scotty, Jessie has his flogger in hand. Jessie twirls Scotty's dick before letting the flogger loose all over his body. Scotty's legs are brought up from the floor while Jessie covers Scotty in clothespins. Jessie removes the pins one by with his crop, the power of each blow making Scotty swing in the suspension. Now that Scotty's warmed up, Jessie takes him to the stockade and paints Scotty's ass with hot wax before ramming his whole length into Scotty's tight hole. Jessie milks a load from the boy and swings around to the front of the stocks to cover the boy's face in cum. As a parting gift, Jessie drips more wax onto a cumdrunk Scotty.

This program is for children completing grade 1 or higher. Campers are registered in our Traditional Camp program and spend half the day with their assigned cabin group. The other half of the day is spent in an English riding lesson and learning about stable management (i.e. horse care, feeding, preparing horses for shows). Staff escort the campers to and from the riding stables which is onsite.
Enrollment in Saddle Champs is on a two week basis. At the end of the two week program, campers participate in a horse show and parents are invited to come and watch all of their new riding skills.
An exclusive opportunity for Green Acres campers to try out all the amazing adventures of sleepover camp without signing up for a full overnight session. Feel at ease knowing that your child will be going to Camp Wahanowin with their Green Acres friends, while being supervised by trusted Green Acres counsellors, Wahanowin staff and Directors.
Conveniently located just over an hour north of Green Acres on beautiful Lake Couchiching, Wahanowin offers a full range of water, landsports, creative arts and adventure programs in a fabulous facility.
