Five graduating studio art majors from the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Rochester will install successive exhibitions in the Gallery at the Art & Music Library on the University's River Campus beginning March 22 and continuing through May 13. The exhibits are free and open to the public.
"The extensive range of material and conceptual approaches represented in the students' senior thesis work is in keeping with the department's emphasis on interdisciplinary education," said Allen C. Topolski, associate professor of art. The senior shows will begin with the work of Summer Romasco from March 22 to 30, followed by Laura Burton, April 2 to 10; Russell Wyner, April 13 to 21; Keith MacLean, April 24 to May 1; and Adrianne Hulchanski from May 4 to 13.
Romasco's richly-patterned figurative paintings are both formally simple and emotionally complex. Her figures evoke partial familiarity and partial elusiveness, revealing the negotiability of the image.
In the second installation, Burton's work consists of large-scale, simplified portraits of celebrities portraying other celebrities. The audience may be overwhelmed with questions regarding identity as they negotiate a space dominated by icons of popular culture who may or may not be recognized in their different roles.
Wyner employs video and animation to express the complexities of a place between childhood and adulthood. He also has become deeply involved in television production, feeling that people discredit its potential as a form of high art because of ill-conceived distinctions between art and entertainment.
MacLean's exhibition documents sites in nature that he has altered with the presence of enlarged but mundane objects. The objects' scale and irrelevant function can displace the viewers and distort their sense of self.
For the final show, the acrylic paintings by Hulchanski make use of an array of stylistic approachesfrom the photographic to the illustrative. Images of athletes and medical illustrations of debilitating injuries point to the necessity of risk as a component of success.
The hours for the Gallery at the Art & Music Library, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library, are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. Details about the receptions for each of the artists will be posted in the gallery.
For more information, contact (585) 275-4476.

I'm trying to help a friend. She's had Windows 10 (32 bit) for a short time and suddenly, when she clicks on NEW to write a new message in her email, she gets an error called Video TDR Failure. She uses Live.com for her email. She will get the BSOD and then it says "recovering" and then will restart. But when she tries to compose a new email again the same thing happens. This is the only thing that is affected as far as she knows at this point. Everything else that she does on her computer is working.
Does anyone know if there's anything she can do to fix this?

Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry has obtained a restraining order against the actress' fiance following a Thanksgiving Day brawl at her home in Hollywood.
Both Aubry and French actor Olivier Martinez were hospitalised after the bust-up, and now the Canadian model has opened up about his version of the scrap, claiming Berry's new man initiated it.
In a declaration, he alleges Martinez threatened him at his daughter Nahla's school play on the eve of Thanksgiving, whispering in his ear, "I wish I could beat the s**t out of you right now. You're lucky we're in a school right now. We're going to take Nahla right now and you're not going to follow us."
Berry and Aubry are currently fighting for custody of their daughter – the actress is hoping to move to France with her boyfriend, and take Nahla with her. Aubry is resisting the move.
The model claims he took Nahla to his ex-girlfriend's home on Thanksgiving Day, and was greeted at the door by Martinez, who told Aubry, "We need to talk!"
The two men then started throwing punches at each other and Martinez allegedly knocked Aubry to the ground, accusing his fiancee's ex of costing him and Berry $3 million (GBP1.9 million) in court costs and attorneys fees.
According to the declaration, which has been obtained by editors at TMZ.com, Martinez threatened to kill Aubry if he didn't agree to move to Paris, where the actor hopes to set up home with his girlfriend and her daughter.
Aubry's lawyer attached photos of his brutal injuries.
It appears the Canadian has struck first in the post-fight legal battle. Berry's aides claim it was her ex who started the fight, and insiders told TMZ.com on Friday that the actress was planning to seek an extension to an emergency protective order against her ex, which expires on Tuesday. It requires him to stay at least 100 yards (91.4 meters) away from the actress, her fiance and Nahla.
After the fight, Aubry was arrested on suspicion of battery. Reports suggest he suffered a broken rib in the brawl.

Epsom considers proposal for new town office buildingBy MELISSA PROULX
Union Leader Correspondent
October 23. 2017 10:11PM
EPSOM — Town officials are once again looking at a potential proposal for a new town office building to put before voters in March.
The town offices are currently located in a storefront space in the strip mall off Suncook Valley Highway.
With the deadline for the town meeting ballot approaching, the Board of Selectmen are trying to figure out whether to include a warrant article about constructing a new town office building.
Selectmen have been discussing with staff some of the needs for the new space, though nothing official has been decided as of yet. Staff have said that they don't want space that has less square footage than the office space they have now.
Figuring out where to put the new town offices has been discussed for years.
During the 2016 town meeting, residents weighed in on an article to build a new town office on a town-owned piece of land between the police station and the post office. That warrant article failed by about a dozen votes.
But at the last town meeting, a warrant article was passed that created a new fund earmarked for purchasing or building new town offices. The goal is to add $50,000 each year to the fund.
After the March approval, the money was put into the fund from the unassigned fund balance and would have no impact on the town's tax rate.
If selectmen decide to go forward with a warrant article that involves a bond, it will have to be in by the first week of November to meet the budget deadlines.
Until a new home can be found, the town offices will continue to be housed in rented space.
The town pays about $40,000 in rent each year for the strip mall space, which increases by 2 percent every year.

A new public opinion poll commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts' Philadelphia Research Initiative finds that Philadelphians are increasingly concerned about the overall local tax burden but many residents appear willing to pay more in return for better services.
The poll also finds that Philadelphians favor the idea of commercial advertising at City Hall and other municipal properties in order to raise revenue but are cool to the idea of taxing sugary drinks.
Seventy percent of those polled say that high taxes are a "somewhat serious" or "very serious" problem in their neighborhoods—up from 55 percent in 2010 and 62 percent last year. Fifty-four percent say they "pay too much" for the level of city services they receive, compared with 39 percent who feel they get their "money's worth" or a "good deal" for their tax dollars.
At the same time, 49 percent say they would prefer to pay higher taxes for more city services, as opposed to 42 percent who prefer lower taxes and fewer services. Residents were evenly split on this question in polls conducted the past three years.
"Philadelphians send a variety of messages about taxes," said Larry Eichel, project director of the Philadelphia Research Initiative. "On the one hand, a large majority of residents are increasingly concerned about the size of the overall tax burden. On the other hand, a significant number of people say they would be willing to pay more if they thought they would get more for their money."
On the concept of permitting advertisements on city buildings, 56 percent of Philadelphians approve while 34 percent are opposed. As for a tax on soda and other sugary drinks, 49 percent disapprove of the idea, and 46 percent support it, with positions on both sides deeply entrenched.
Legislation allowing advertising on city property was introduced in City Council earlier this year by Council President Darrell Clarke, but has not yet been acted upon. The sugary drinks tax has been put forward twice in the last two years by Mayor Michael Nutter, and Council failed to adopt it on either occasion.
The survey also gauged attitudes toward city workers' pensions. Philadelphians are closely divided on whether newly hired city employees should get the same pension benefits as current workers and retirees, as is the case now, or whether the city should be able to give them lower benefits to save money. Overall, 47 percent say new hires should receive the same pension package, and 43 percent favor the alternative. Last year the split was 45 percent to 44 percent.
How the study was conducted
The Philadelphia Research Initiative telephone survey was conducted between January 4 and January 19 among a citywide random sample of 1,600 Philadelphia residents, ages 18 and older. Interviews were conducted with 1,200 landline users and 400 cell phone users to reach a broad representative sample of Philadelphians.
The final sample was weighted to reflect the demographic breakdown of the city. The margin of error for the entire sample is approximately +/- 2.5 percentage points. The margin of error is higher for subgroups. Surveys are subject to other error sources as well, including sampling coverage error, recording error and respondent error.

Give Blooming Touch to Your Makeup
Make up have lot to do in enhancing beauty of women. Make up covers the unwanted part of skin and gives most beautiful and more attractive look. Beauty is the means to brush up your personality and appearance. Makeup gives a polishing look to your personality making you confidence from within as well as increases ones social status in the society.
The essential part of facial makeup includes eyes and lips make up. While performing eyes and lips makeup some essential things should keep in mind. Eyeliner, foundation, concealer, lip liner, lipsticks and so many makeup tools are there that are used in doing makeup.
Some simple but important can help you to give a good makeup polishing to your face:
- Before starting with any type of makeup, the first thing you need to do is to clean your skin well.
- Remove all the dust, debris and excess oil from your skin surface to prevent infection by makeup cosmetics.
- In doing so you might have understood what type of skin you possess. Know your skin whether it is oily or dry skin or normal.
- Using warm water to wash your face will allow removing all the dust and debris properly. This will also enlarge your skin pores that will allow easy removal of particles that block skin pores. This will make a clear platform for applying further makeup.
- Use pink colored blush that will give natural appearance.
- If your skin is oily use oil free makeup or oil absorbing makeup. Avoid using too old makeup kits that expires its quality.
- Use a perfect blend for makeup and prefer color shades according to your skin tone.
- You can use concealer for covering your under eyes dark circles. For this purpose use lighter colors then your foundation.
- After applying concealer, it is found that little foundation is required. Choose the right blend of shade that suites your skin tone.
- Thick mascara is believed to be more useful for eye lashes. Use brown mascara for lighter skin.
- You can use eyebrow pencils to shape and lengthen your eyebrows but prefer powdered shadows for natural look.
- Use lip brushes to color and shade lips. You can also use lip liner to lift your lips. This depends on the distance or cleft between nose and lips.
Covering and shading
Before you proceed to apply foundation on your facial skin, make sure that you cover unwanted portion of skin like creases, pimples and spots. You can give light shades to that portion of skin. This is the beginning of any makeup after which the makeup proceeds further. Use finger tips by slightly tapping with your finger tips that will help to cover those portions of skin much effectively. Tapping with finger tips allows melting of makeup cosmetics and thus provides good blending shades to match skin tone.
Applying different mascara colors
Those who are having lighter complexion should use brown mascara and those with dark complexion should prefer dark mascara.
Coloring lips
Depending upon ones preference, lips colors can be used. For formal getup, you may prefer light and pleasant colors lipsticks. While for party and casual daily get up also you can prefer dark lipsticks. Lip liners are used usually for better polishing and highlighting lips. Dark color lip liners should not be used for light lipsticks. Always moisture your lips by applying Vaseline or lip gel before applying lipstick. This will provide strong base for lipstick and will remain for longer time. These also give gentle glow to your lips.
However, while performing makeup these things should be considered and kept in mind. Thus, it will help to give perfect makeover of your makeup.

Unity3D, VSCode, OS X and 'The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v3.5" were not found' error
This happened to me in this environment:
Unity 5.6.0b7
VSCode 1.9.1 with C# extension 1.7.0
I had this error inside of VSCode when I opened up a Unity project:
The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v3.5" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies. Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend.
Also, VSCode's code completion did not work. Even with the right version of OpenSSL:

I found this fix here:
I had to install mono with brew
brew install mono
with that, I could run
mono --version

The Lewis River is a tributary of the Columbia River, about 95 miles (153 km) long, in southwestern Washington in the United States. It drains part of the Cascade Range north of the Columbia River. The drainage basin of the Lewis River covers about 1,046 square miles (2,709 km2).[4] The river's mean annual discharge is about 6,125 cubic feet per second (173.4 m3/s).[5] Unlike nearby Lewis County and Fort Lewis the Lewis River was not named for Meriwether Lewis, but rather for A. Lee Lewis, an early settler who homesteaded near the mouth of the river.[6]
The Lewis River rises in the Cascades in northeastern Skamania County, high on the west flank of Mount Adams, approximately 75 miles (121 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon. It flows generally southwest through Gifford Pinchot National Forest, across central Skamania County, passing south of Mount St. Helens. It forms the boundary, along the Dark Divide on its north side, between Cowlitz County, to the north, and Clark County, to the south. Towns along the river include Cougar, Ariel, and Woodland. In its lower 10 miles (16 km), it turns sharply south, then west, and enters the Columbia from the east, opposite St. Helens, Oregon, approximately 15 miles (24 km) north of Vancouver, Washington. The mouth of the Lewis River is at Columbia river mile (RM) 87 or river kilometer (RK) 140.[5]
Near the confluence with the Columbia River, the Lewis River is joined by the East Fork Lewis River. The main Lewis River, sometimes called the North Fork Lewis River,[2] forms the boundary between Clark and Cowlitz counties, while the East Fork divides Clark County in half. The East Fork flows westward from headwaters on the western flanks of Lookout Mountain in Skamania County. Parks along the East Fork include Moulton Falls, Lucia Falls, Lewisville, and Paradise Point. A variant name of the East Fork is the South Fork Lewis River.[7]
River modifications[edit]
It is impounded for hydroelectricity in its middle course by Swift Dam, forming Swift Reservoir; Yale Dam, forming Yale Lake; and Merwin Dam, forming Lake Merwin.

RHET 260W (EV, IT) Media and the Environment (1)
This course explores the way the media deals with environmental issues and images, particularly biodiversity. We focus on the emergence of the environment as an important media issues beginning in the 1970s; the way news and entertainment media have presented the environment; and the links between media texts, the culture which they create and reflect and the viewer/reader's response to these messages. Students will learn textual analysis of news stories (print and television), documentary films, and environment and children's programming. We pay particular attention to how these messages reflect the way the culture values and reasons and to how these messages argue for a particular view of the natural world and our relationship with the environment.

RHET 271 (EV) Telling the Internment Story (1)
The decision to exclude, evacuate and intern Japanese Americans living on the West Coast during WWII is an historical controversy directly engaging citizens in the Pacific Northwest; it remains a controversy through the museum exhibits, memorial sites, and artistic representations of the internment that continue to be generated to tell the story of this dark part of American history. Students identify and analyze ways of telling this story through films, photographs, paintings, memoirs, memorials and museums. There are three units: Fear & Racism Fanned by the Media, Life in the Camps and Reintegration, and Commemoration Through Museums, Memorials, and Films. Readings for this course include primary documents legislating the exclusion and internment of Japanese Americans, testimonials by internees, print media coverage, and visual and verbal commemorative texts. This is a project based course and includes a film screening lab.

[Editor's Note: the following excerpt is taken from the book: time for the talk: leading your son into true manhood (Copyright by Steve Zollos, published by Shepherd Press). Reprinted with permission.]
It was a warm spring day and I sat working behind my desk. I had been to an event a few days earlier and had won a BB gun that I gave to my son as a present. Along with the gun came clear and detailed instructions on how and when it could be used.
The phone rang and I picked it up to hear my son Stepheno crying on the other end. "Stepheno? What's wrong?" I asked as my heart began pounding. I had never received a call like this before, and I knew something had to be very wrong.
Stepheno started in a halting, almost undecipherable sob, "Dad, I didn't mean to … I didn't think it would shoot that far … I'm sorry … I didn't mean it."
By now the sobs were making complete sentences indiscernible and I began using the scant pieces of information to paint a picture of what had happened in my mind. It had something to do with the BB gun. He shot his brother Phillip, or maybe Emerson with it, but it wasn't too close and it appeared that Mom wasn't home, or she was taking him to the hospital. My mind immediately shifted into panic gear.
"Stepheno," I replied rather sternly, "slow down and stop crying. I can't understand you. Now tell me what happened."
He tried to slow down, but instead of adding details his sobs filled all the voids. "I … took the BB gun and … I didn't know it would shoot that far. I really didn't know, I didn't even pump it up all the way," and the sobs broke out again.
"Stepheno, who did you shoot? Who did you shoot with the BB gun?" I asked as calmly as I could. My heart was racing now and I was already berating myself for ever giving him the gun in the first place. He must have shot Phillip, but was he okay? Were they in need of help? "Oh my God help us!" I thought as I awaited his response. "Stepheno, tell me who you shot!"
"It was … sob … a dove, but it was all the way to the woods and I shot him from the bathroom window. I didn't mean it! … I didn't know that the gun would shoot that far, I'M A POACHER!" he exclaimed bursting out in tears again.
Relief swept through me like a head wind over the bow of a ship. In a split second I went from trying to hide my panic to trying to hide my laughter. I thought he had shot one of my other children only to find out he had shot a bird, and accidentally at that. What a tender heart, what conviction, what power!
Stepheno was undone by the conviction that he had done something wrong. He wasn't scared of the consequence that I might bring, but rather what the incident itself had made him … a poacher.
When I got home I walked my son through the implications of his poor decision to use the BB gun without permission. He was appropriately disciplined, but my primary concern was to guard the spiritual seed within him that brought such strong and powerful conviction.
We all need to understand our relationship with God and how that relationship dictates the man we will, or will not, be. You need to teach your son how to discern the voice of God's Spirit and how to respond to that small still voice. It is that very voice of love, mercy and kindness that we can somehow find ourselves at odds with when we are tempted.
Your young man needs convictions and they can't come from you. Convictions come from hearing the voice of the Lord. They come from having a holy fear of God and knowing in your heart of hearts his will for you. Convictions allow a man to steady his walk in order to stay on the narrow road that leads to life.
To be able to hear the voice of the Lord, discern his will in your life, and to act upon it in a way that brings him glory is everything you need to be a true man.
Putting Off, Putting On
As Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight" (Ephesians 1:3). Then he added, "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" —Ephesians 4:21
How can we—creatures who are physical and spiritual and fallen in our sin—obey this verse? How can we triumph over our sin and our flesh to perform this profoundly spiritual act? More to the point of this book, if you and I have a hard enough time trying to obey this verse, how can your immature young son accomplish this?
Simple answer: Your son's spiritual victories will have the same origin as every one of your spiritual victories. To rise above the temptations of the world your son must set his mind on the things of the Spirit. Scripture teaches us to put to death those thoughts and desires that are of the earthly nature and to begin to show evidence of our new spiritual nature that is "being renewed in knowledge in the image of its creator."
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
We have been made in God's image. We have the amazing privilege of being spiritual beings, just as God is a spiritual being. The responsibility that comes with that privilege (privilege and responsibility always go together) is that we are called to pursue spiritual growth. We are called to become ever more "like God in true righteousness and holiness." This pursuit is the essence of honorable manhood, even honorable young manhood.
That's a daunting project, isn't it? Does it seem impossible? As impossible as, I don't know, a camel squeezing through the eye of a needle? If that's how you see it, you're on the right track. Not only that, but you're in the right place to be able to communicate this truth accurately to your son. For our Savior told us that, "with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26).
Here's the challenge your son needs to understand. Like Adam, we are required to be perfectly blameless and completely holy in our obedience to God. The problem, of course, is that none of us ever do this perfectly. As James said, "We all stumble in many ways" (James 3:2). So if we are sure to fail from time to time, yet God calls us to be perfectly holy, what does it mean to walk as a man before God? It means that we must put our trust completely in the finished work of Jesus Christ, who alone can make us holy and pure. It means that when we stumble and fall short of the glory of God we do two things. First, we return to the Lord and ask him for forgiveness, genuinely repentant yet confident that this specific sin we just committed was a sin Christ died to forgive. Second, we pick ourselves up again and keep going, continually seeking to obey God by the power of his grace. This is the basis of all repentance: turning away from our sin and in our love of God heading in the opposite direction, back to him again and again.
This is where our degree of familiarity and our current experience with God's Word becomes crucial. Through the Bible we learn and are reminded of what God commands of us, and we recall the power and love and grace he offers us for both obedience and forgiveness. This means we should be continually growing in our knowledge of God through his Word. The Psalmist certainly got it right when he wrote, "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your Word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against you" (Psalms 119:9).
The Metrics of Manhood
Is this the kind of man you hope your boy will become? Are these the "virtues" you want to see manifested in his life? I doubt it. In Galatians 5:19-21 Paul describes the natural tendency of our sinful nature to lead us into "sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like."
Paul then contrasts these detestable things of our sinful nature with the fruit of the Spirit of God in Galatians 5:22. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
I believe we can distill from Scripture six virtues to use as benchmarks and goals, things we can hold onto, measure, evaluate, and work to improve as we mature. It is not my intention to make an airtight case for these six being the only possible choices. Certainly there are other virtues that can be identified in Scripture. My goal here—especially as you prepare to talk with your young son—is to keep it simple by providing a biblically solid list that is easy to remember and will point your son in the right direction.
A Biblical description of a real man is as follows. A real man is:
How well do these terms line up with that first set of bullet points—the worldly view of a man? Not a lot of overlap, is there? Where is the self-centeredness, self-seeking, and self-glorification that the world continually emphasizes? Where are the themes of consumption and indulgence? Where is the sense of entitlement? In their place, we see a striking emphasis on looking outward. The second set of bullet points describe a man who takes the attitude of a servant toward others, whose life is focused not on self-exaltation but on glorifying God with his life. The world's version of a man essentially sees others as raw material for his own gratification and glorification. The true man, on the other hand, according to God's definition, seeks to love his neighbor and to consider others as better than himself.
Six Key Virtues for Men
These six virtues are spiritual fruit, closely and directly associated with being like God in true righteousness and holiness. The more we become like God, the more these virtues will be evident in us. For each virtue there is a short definition and a few verses for emphasis and elaboration. Paying close attention to these virtues will help you set your sights on exactly where you want to lead your son.
Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life (Proverbs 22:4).
When society settles on a false definition of what is good and desirable in a man, the streets become full of males who have never grown into Biblical manhood. Guys like these might look cool, but morally they may be little more than children. What a sad and tragic thing that so many boys today fall into this trap and never get out! They buy into the world's definition of manhood and end up going to their graves morally stunted. The externals of chasing this worldly definition of manhood—things like sexual conquests, shiny new cars, and rugged good looks—can never qualify anyone for true manhood.
Your son doesn't have to become a man like that. He has you to help him, and you have Christ, the Word of God, and fellow believers to help you.
4. Scriptural manhood means hearing the Lord's voice, discerning his will for your life, and acting upon it in a way that brings glory to God.

The sessions are all online now for DevTeach 2007 in Montreal this spring. I'm giving talks on:
- The Laws of Agile Design — How to design and write code that makes the "Embrace Change!" slogan a realistic option
- Executable Specifications with FIT — Requirements, documentation, testing, oh my! Do all three at one time with requirements that bite back when they're not fulfilled
- Put that Wizard Down! — Design Patterns for Maintainable WinForms Development
The last one is going to hit the Humble Dialog Box for sure, but we'll go much farther than that into code centric solutions for composite applications, menus, event synchronization, and interactions with the backend. I think there are many times when just a bit of explicitly written code beats all the drag and drop wizardry in the world.
I think it's going to be a tremendous lineup and I'm excited just to be a part of it. The speaker list looks remarkably like my blogroll, and I'm curious to observe the small, but feisty Bellware beast in his native habitat.
I figure that I'm good for all the speaking I'll ever do because I've already done the "take the wireless microphone into the restroom" trick and the inappropriate interface name. It's all downhill from there.

Gov. Pat Quinn and Speaker Michael Madigan teamed up today to push ahead a bill that would put limits on campaign donations, even though critics are blasting it, Clout Street reports.
"This is clearly a historic event in a series of historic events," Madigan told the House Executive Committee. The measure, which passed the Senate Thursday, was sent by the committee to the full House for consideration, which could take place as early as today.
The speaker hailed a growing line-up of reform bills that lawmakers have embraced, from toughening state contract bidding to making it easier for citizens to get access to government records. Quinn also praised reform efforts passed by lawmakers so far, saying this General Assembly "will go down in history as the most reform minded legislatures in history."

In January, 2007, while visiting her boyfriend, John Ballinger in New York, Los Angeles-based actress Uma Nithipalan, at the age of 27, suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and fell into a week-long coma -- during which she suffered a stroke. Doctors gave her a 20% chance of surviving.
But survived she has -- the subsequent four years have been an endurance test of therapy and rehabilitation, attempting to regain speech and motor co-ordination -- during which Ballinger married her, and Nithipalan has volunteered her own services to help victims of aphasia. Health insurance? Excuse me while I clear my throat. Recovery has been at the so-far $30k-plus mercy of friends and strangers. This is why Bootleg Theater, in conjunction with L.A.'s music and theater communities, are holding a benefit for the latest round of therapy. This is happening Sunday, May 1, beginning at 7pm and lasting until the bands go home. All proceeds go to pay for Nithipalan's neurological rehabilitation.

Do you ever think, "If I could just get things in my life in order, then I'd be ready to do all those things I want to do?" If only.
One of the greatest paradoxes in life is our striving for order. We want to get through our lists in order to, well, to get through our lists. We check off tasks knowing more will be added to our lists. For list makers (those written down and for those circling in our heads), lists record our lives. Embedded among the reminders to buy eggs and do our taxes, are entries reminding us to 'buy quilting material' or 'pick new paint' or 'buy a birthday card.'
Do your lists include reminders yourself to try something new, or meet a new neighbor, or change your environment is some way?
Author C. S Lewis reflects, "You cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad." Pretty much everything does change, and there is an art in noticing where we need to ready ourselves for change.
In this season of Easter and spring, the image of an egg reminds us that there are windows for change. Eggs remind us to notice these windows and be ready, not unlike the ways we ready ourselves for the changing of seasons. Some possibilities, like eggs, are only good for so long and need to hatch.
Where are the windows for change open for you? As spring arrives, how might what we do together reflect upon and bless these opportunities for transformation?
In connection and gratitude for this community,
Rev. Sue

About this creation
===Nagai Warlord===
{{Quote|You were not born Sith.|Darth Maladi|Star Wars Legacy 15: Claws of the Dragon, Part 2}}
[[Darth]] Nihl, a [[Sexes|male]] [[Nagai]] who originated from the [[planet]] [[Nagi]], was a [[warlord]] on his [[homeworld]] before he joined [[Darth Krayt]] and the [[One Sith]]. He was known to be Krayt's top enforcer in [[Darth Krayt's Sith Empire|Krayt's Sith Order]], and served the [[Dark Lord of the Sith|Dark Lord]] as his [[Fist]], or military commander.
In [[130 ABY]], Nihl was promoted to the position of [[Hand (One Sith)|Hand]] by Darth Krayt after [[Darth Nihl's predecessor|his predecessor]] [[Death|died]] during the [[Sith-Imperial War|war]], in which the [[Sith]] allied themselves with the [[Fel Empire]] in order to bring down the current [[The galaxy|galactic]] government, the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]].
{{Quote|I earned my place as a Hand. I slew many Jedi that day, including Kol Skywalker.|Darth Nihl|Star Wars Legacy 15: Claws of the Dragon, Part 2}}
[[File:DarthNihl.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Darth Nihl on Ossus]]
Two standard days after the Empire captured [[Coruscant]], the capital of the Galactic Alliance,
''[[Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force]]''
Nihl led the Sith in an [[Massacre at Ossus|attack]] on the [[Jedi Temple]] at [[Ossus]]—with orders from Krayt to leave no [[Jedi]] alive.
''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]''
In the midst of carrying out his Lord's mandate, however, Nihl and his legion of Sith [[stormtrooper]]s were confronted and attacked by [[Kol Skywalker]], a [[Jedi Master]] of the [[New Jedi Order]], in an attempt to provide a group of [[Padawan]]s a means to escape Ossus. While Skywalker and his former Padawan, [[Zabrak]] [[Wolf Sazen]], had some initial success against the Sith, it was in vain. Nihl engaged Sazen in [[Lightsaber combat|combat]] and used his [[lightsaber staff]] to defeat the Jedi Master. Sazen's weapon arm was [[Cho sun|severed]], and afterwards, he was [[Shiak|impaled]] by the Sith Lord, mortally wounding the Zabrak. After Sazen's defeat, Skywalker directly fought Nihl alone, injuring him in hopes of a last stand.
Skywalker's son, [[Cade Skywalker|Cade]], soon arrived to help his father in combat, who had become momentarily distracted from his [[Lightsaber duel|duel]] with Nihl. The elder Skwalker commanded Cade to take the wounded Sazen to the Jedi's escape shuttle, thus preventing Nihl from slaying the wounded Master. Skywalker continued his stand against Nihl and his Sith, but to no avail; Nihl unleashed his [[Force lightning]] to kill the Jedi Master. With the majority of the Jedi on Ossus dead, Nihl left the planet, victorious over the New Jedi Order. He traveled to Coruscant, where he witnessed Krayt's [[Attack on Emperor Fel|ascension]] as Emperor of a newly created [[New Sith Empire|Sith Empire]] by killing a [[Roan Fel (decoy)|decoy of Emperor Roan Fel]] in order to take control over the Fel Empire. In the wake of the decoy's death, the Imperial [[Moff]]s swore fealty to Krayt.
{{Quote|You should have stayed dead on Ossus, one-arm! I dislike having to kill my opponents twice.|Darth Nihl to Wolf Sazen|Star Wars Legacy 6: Broken, Part 5}}
[[137 ABY|Seven years later]], Nihl was no longer Krayt's only Hand. [[Darth Talon]], a [[Twi'lek]] Sith, was named Krayt's second Hand, and she was sent to [[Socorro]] for her first mission: to capture and use [[Prince]]ss [[Marasiah Fel]] to lure her father, the former Emperor [[Roan Fel]], into the open so that Talon could eliminate him and thus end any resistance to Krayt's full control over the galaxy. However, Talon was prevented from capturing Marasiah by the intervention of Cade Skywalker, who had turned to a career of [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunting]] after Nihl had killed his father. Skywalker and his companions, the [[Zeltron]] [[Engineer]] [[Deliah Blue]] and [[Human]] co-pilot [[Jariah Syn]], transported Marasiah and her aide, [[Astraal Vao]], to [[Vendaxa]] in order to meet with Vao's brother, [[Jedi Knight]] [[Shado Vao|Shado]], and the Jedi Nihl had presumed deceased, Wolf Sazen. Talon [[Skirmish on Vendaxa|attacked them there]], albeit unsuccessfully, and called for the Nagai's help to help eliminate the Jedi and capture the princess. Nihl was commanded by Talon to silently send troops to her position, wait for the former Emperor to appear, and then ambush the Jedi and Imperials so as to kill them all.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 5: Broken, Part 4]]''
[[File:Sazen'sArm.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Nihl duels Wolf Sazen during the Ossus massacre.]]
Fel arrived with an escort of two [[Predator-class fighter|Imperial fighters]], which were quickly shot down by the Sith troops positioned by Nihl and his fellow Hand. However, Fel and his accompanying [[Imperial Knight]]s escaped the destroyed [[Starship|ships]] only to be confronted by Talon. At that moment, Fel revealed himself to be Imperial Knight [[Antares Draco]]. In her confusion at the deception, Talon was forced to flee and reconvene with Nihl and his troops. He planned to attack the Jedi and Imperials once more, hoping to capture Marasiah and kill the others. As they attacked, Nihl again dueled with Sazen, and mocked the Jedi Master with the prospect of killing him a second time. Skywalker, seeing the Nagai Sith dueling Sazen once more, and Marasiah mortally wounded by a [[Unidentified Zabrak Sith|Zabrak Sith]], joined Sazen in combat, hoping to avenge his father.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 6: Broken, Part 5]]''
Sazen attempted to halt Skywalker's attack on Nihl, who believed that Sazen was right to stop Skywalker, and stated that wielding a [[lightsaber]] did not make him a Jedi. The Sith Lord further mocked him and explained that vengeance was not a Jedi trait, though Skywalker did not care, and continued his duel with his father's killer.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 7: Broken, Part 6]]''
As Nihl's duel with Skywalker continued, Sazen was sent to bring the princess onto Cade's ship, the ''[[Mynock (starship)|Mynock]]''. Nihl, convinced that the bounty hunter could not defeat him, offered him a quick death similar to his father's, but Skywalker simply pressed on, discontent with any result besides the Nagai's death. Nihl was subsequently shot by Syn, allowing Skywalker enough time to gather himself, but his companion was soon [[Telekinesis|Force pushed]] away by Nihl. This left him open to defeat by Skywalker, who instead escaped with his companions, the Imperials, and Jedi Vao, on the ''Mynock''. Nihl then explained to Talon that he would soon be the only Hand once again, as he believed Talon would be killed by Krayt for the mission's failure.
===Capture of Cade Skywalker===
{{Quote|His father's son…weak and too easily defeated by darkness.|Darth Nihl on Cade Skywalker|Star Wars Legacy 14: Claws of the Dragon, Part 1}}
To Nihl's disappointment, Talon was not killed for her actions on Vendaxa. Instead, a search was warranted for Skywalker, in whom Krayt had an interest because of his potential to [[Force Healing|heal]] through [[the Force]]. This search, once begun, was easier than expected; Skywalker came to the [[Sith Temple]] on Coruscant to save [[Hosk Trey'lis]], a [[Bothan]] Jedi Knight whom Skywalker had handed to the Sith for a [[bounty]] before experiencing a change of heart. He was [[Duel in the Temple of the Sith|attacked]] by Talon, whom he defeated using the [[dark Side of the Force]]. Before he could finish her off, Nihl Force choked him with the intent of killing the last Skywalker. However, Talon informed Nihl that Skywalker was wanted alive, and that she was sent to capture him. Unable to disobey Krayt's orders, Nihl obliged, and informed Krayt of Skywalker's capture.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 14: Claws of the Dragon, Part 1]]''
[[File:NihlForceChoke.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Nihl subdues Skywalker with a Force choke.]]
With Skywalker captured, Krayt hoped to turn the former Jedi to the dark side. By threatening to kill Syn and Blue, the Sith Lord was able to persuade Skywalker to listen to his offer and reconsider being a Sith. Krayt brought Skywalker to his chambers, but when Nihl attempted to enter, [[Darth Wyyrlok (III)|Darth Wyyrlok]], Krayt's chief servant, barred him from entering. Nihl attempted to argue, believing his status as a Hand was enough. Wyyrlok did not comply, and questioned Nihl's loyalty to Krayt, causing Nihl to step back. [[Darth Maladi]], the head of [[Sith Intelligence and Assassination]], explained to Nihl why he wasn't allowed entry; Nihl was not born a Sith. Krayt had wanted Nihl to become his [[Fist|Sith military leader]], and only promoted Nihl to Hand because Talon had not been ready at the time of his predecessor's death. When Nihl questioned Maladi as to why she wasn't allowed to enter even though she was born Sith, she stated her complete loyalty to Krayt. However, both she and Nihl wondered at Krayt's fascination with Skywalker.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 15: Claws of the Dragon, Part 2]]''
Krayt's attention to Skywalker paid off, and Skywalker agreed to become a Sith, trained by Talon. As Skywalker fell further and further down the dark side, Krayt became convinced that Skywalker would be able to [[Force powers|heal]] him of the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] [[Yorik-kul]] implants that were causing his body to fail. As Skywalker began to realize his power under the training of Krayt and Talon, the Sith Lord became obsessed with Skywalker and his potential ability to heal him. This obsession Nihl disagreed with, and he told Maladi of this. She began to wonder to herself if Skywalker was capable of healing Krayt, and what would happen should he die. Nihl firmly believed in the old ways of the Sith; because Krayt had named no heir, there would be a power struggle. Therefore, Nihl believed that should Krayt fail to be healed, then Skywalker would be named his heir.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 17: Claws of the Dragon, Part 4]]''
===Fighting another Skywalker===
{{Quote|Slay the one who killed your father! Destroy Nihl—take your revenge!|Darth Krayt to Cade Skywalker|Star Wars Legacy 18: Claws of the Dragon, Part 5}}
However, Skywalker had different plans; he lied about his eagerness to be trained as a Sith, and attempted to escape the Temple of the Sith. This escape attempt was foiled by Talon, and Skywalker was brought to Krayt to kill Trey'lis, so that he could become a Sith in truth. Nihl watched as Krayt commanded him to kill Trey'lis or be killed himself, but Skywalker refused. Krayt attempted to stir Skywalker's hatred of people dying for him as motivation to kill Trey'lis, but the Bothan Jedi intervened, expressing his hope that he would not be used as a weapon of the Sith. For his interference, Krayt struck him down and a [[Skirmish at the Temple of the Sith|skirmish]] between Nihl, Talon, Krayt, and Skywalker occurred when the latter had a [[Force Vision|vision]] of his father. Using the Force, Skywalker pulled his father's lightsaber towards him, impaling Talon with it, and engaged Nihl in combat.
However, upon Krayt's beckoning, Skywalker engaged the leader of the Sith in combat instead of killing Nihl. Skywalker was subsequently rescued by his mother, [[Morrigan Corde]], who had aligned herself with her son's companions in a plan to rescue the bounty hunter. The plan was a success and Skywalker escaped, resulting in the failure of both Nihl and his fellow Hand to keep Skywalker within the clutches of the Sith. Krayt was determined to make them both pay for their failure.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 19: Claws of the Dragon, Part 6]]''
[[File:NihlChoMok.jpg|right|thumb|280px|Nihl, after losing his weapon-arm in battle with Cade Skywalker]]
{{Quote|My Lord, I earned my place as your Hand! I ''deserve'' better than this!''"
"''You ''deserve'' death but…serve me well again and you may have a chance to earn your position back.|Darth Nihl and Darth Krayt|Star Wars Legacy 27: Into the Core}}
Immediately after Skywalker's escape, Nihl was tended to by Maladi and Wyyrlok, along with Talon and Krayt. Though the latter was not injured, Nihl and his fellow Hand were hurt extensively, and Maladi was put in charge of their healing. Since the Nagai's arm was cleanly cut, Maladi offered to have it reattached, but Krayt refused; Nihl's incompetence had failed the Sith, and Krayt felt that he was no longer worthy of his arm as a result. Instead, Nihl was to receive a Yuuzhan Vong bioform replacement for his severed limb. Krayt had originally wanted to kill Nihl for his failure, but Wyyrlok convinced him otherwise, explaining that while he was no longer able to continue his position as a Hand, Nihl still had use to the Dark Lord. Krayt then replaced Nihl with [[Darth Stryfe]], his Fist, as his new Hand, and sent him and Talon to be healed. Nihl protested his replacement, saying he had earned his place as Krayt's Hand, but Krayt brushed the complaint off.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 27: Into the Core]]''
Maladi took the two to her [[Darth Maladi's laboratory|laboratory]], and placed both Nihl and Talon [[bacta tank]]s.
''[[Star Wars Legacy 23: Loyalties, Part 1]]''
As the injuries he sustained were more severe than Talon's, Nihl continued to heal on Coruscant, while the Twi'lek recovered completely. The former Hand remained in bacta while Lords Krayt, Maladi, Stryfe, and Talon, answered the summons of a mysterious [[Celeste Morne|female Jedi]], who claimed to have Cade Skywalker imprisoned on the [[Deep Core]] world of [[Had Abbadon]]. Lured into a trap by Skywalker and his colleagues, which included several Imperial Knights, Nihl's fellow Sith were [[Battle on Had Abbadon|attacked]]
''[[Star Wars Legacy 30: Vector, Part 11]]''
and subsequently defeated. Though Darth Krayt survived the battle, he was murdered shortly afterward by Darth Wyyrlok,
''[[Star Wars Legacy 31: Vector, Part 12]]''
who feigned the Dark Lord's survival to all while acting in Krayt's stead as both leader of their Order and Galactic Emperor. Meanwhile, Nihl had recovered fully and bore a new arm, and later joined Wyyrlok with several of the more prominent Sith when they returned to Coruscant to secure the Imperial throne in the name of Darth Krayt.

Blogger's Quilt Festival... Fall 2011
This is the second time I've entered a quilt for display and have to say that again I am entering my most recent quilt.....I almost always love the quilt I have just finished, I'm afraid that I have very recently posted about this quilt so if you are a regular follower of my blog I must apologise!
This quilt has been waiting for a while to be quilted as I was a bit stuck on how to quilt it but it did eventually speak to me....it's a simply pieced quilt in stack and wack style. If you look closer you will see I added coloured threads to lift the black background. My intention was to quilt water lillies in an oriental style but the backing fabric inspired me and my water lillies turned into tudor roses.
This quilt is now permanently hung in my hall, I really think it's time to display more of my work, I am please with how it looks and I think that the curtain pole that I found in my loft has really enhanced the quilt....I used coat hanging hooks (as seen in the photo) so that the quilt would hang tight against the wall.
You can read more about this quilt here and here
Here it is 'Tudor Roses'.
Thanks for dropping by....
Updated 8th November......I'd just like to tell you all how stunned and thrilled I am at all of your wonderful comments, you sure all know how to make a girl feel good....thank you all so much!

ヽ( ̄ ̄∇ ̄ ̄)ノ Hello all~ ♪
Another update again, I'm in the middle of last term exam now and had just done the test for a certain subject
for the third time. I had bad experience dealing with this subject since memorizing textbook is not really my forte. I usually can grasp the big picture easily but when it come into detail I just… err, you know. ( – – ; )

In The Works: Our First Collective Showing, "Tags Attached"
Hello loyal readers! *waves enthusiastically at Laura's mom* I thought that this would be as good a time as any to introduce the premise of our first ever show. So go ahead, pull up a carpet square.
As artists, we work very hard to shape our ideas and impulses into something that is legible to someone else. Yet creating art is messy and often written in a strange language that only the artist really "gets." If an outside observer were to go back and read the marginalia, she might come away with a better understanding, a greater depth of feeling, or a new perspective on the final product. Or she might be utterly perplexed.
For our first showing, we have chosen to purposefully hoard "artifacts," or the byproducts of the creative process. Here is a well-known example of what we're talking about:
And one slightly less so:
(By the way, does the above look familiar to anyone? Oh, right:
Pretty awesome, considering we were trying to mimic one photo and ended up with a weirdly similar outtake.)
Tangents aside, we're calling the showing "Tags Attached" because the work comes with a documented history, with baggage. Our scribbles, rehearsal videos, solo improv sessions, and miscellaneous other material will be on show in a separate "museum" display at Gibney Dance Center, and audience members will be encouraged to look at all of our unpolished riffraff. It's a bit nerve-wracking for us, but I think it reveals what we're ultimately about: pursuing our own artistic paths in such a way that product and process are of equal importance.
It all goes down March 23rd at 6pm and March 24th at 2pm. Tickets can be obtained (for free!) here.

The U.S. and Latin America
Program #FUEC001. Recorded in Denver, CO on April 09, 1991.
Fuentes, one of Mexico's leading writers, points out the inadequacies of the term Latin America. A more accurate description would encompass the indigenous, African, and Iberian components which make the continent polycultural. He reviews the history of Mexico and the U.S. Highly critical of the "imperial designs of the U.S." he warns Washington not to undertake unilateral interventions which "has led to disasters" and calls for "an international order where no one nation imposes its will on others." Speaking of the continent as a whole, Fuentes says, "We have not been able to unite because we have imposed on ourselves models of development scarcely related to our cultural reality."

Halle Berry will star in thriller 'Kidnap'.
The 47-year-old actress - who has two children, seven-month-old son with husband Olivier Martinez and six-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry - will play a mother who is on a mission to rescue her kidnapped son, it has been reported.
Luis Prieto will direct from a script by Knate Gwaltney, while Lorenzo di Bonaventura's Di Bonaventura Pictures is producing alongside Erik Howsam.
Lotus Entertainment, who are selling the project internationally, are delighted to be joining forces with Bonaventura who worked on 2013's 'Red 2', 2014's 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' and forthcoming 'Transformers: Age of Extinction', among other projects.
The company's chiefs Bill Johnson and Jim Seibel said: ''Lorenzo is a renowned producer in the blockbuster action world, and we're very excited to be working on such an exciting high-concept project with him. We look forward to seeing him join forces with the incredible talent of Halle Berry and Luis Prieto on a project that is sure to appeal to audiences worldwide.''

Berry will next hit the big screen in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' where she will reprise her role as Storm.

A section of Federal Highway near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will be closed for a few hours early Sunday so Broward County officials can move a DC-4 airplane, which will become an artificial reef.
Louis Fisher, the county`s artificial reef coordinator, said the plane, built in 1945, will be towed late Saturday from the airport to Port Everglades.
He said Federal Highway between Griffin Road and Eller Drive will be closed from midnight to 2 or 3 a.m.
The plane will be sunk Nov. 23 about three-quarters of a mile off the Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel.
