Type: Bug
Status: In Progress
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects versions: None
Fix versions: None
Reported by scgilardi, Apr 24, 2009 What (small set of) steps will reproduce the problem? "require" and "use" support a ":reload-all" flag that is intended to cause the specified libs to be reloaded along with all libs on which they directly or indirectly depend. This is implemented by temporarily binding a "loaded-libs" var to the empty set and then loading the specified libs. AOT compilation added another "already loaded" mechanism to clojure.lang.RT.load() which is currently not sensitive to a "reload- all" being in progress and breaks its operation in the following case: A, B, and C are libs A depends on B. (via :require in its ns form) B depends on C. (via :require in its ns form) B has been compiled (B.class is on classpath) At the repl I "require" A which loads A, B, and C (either from class files or clj files) I modify C.clj At the repl I "require" A with the :reload-all flag, intending to pick up the changes to C C is not reloaded because RT.load() skips loading B: B.class exists, is already loaded, and B.clj hasn't changed since it was compiled. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect :reload-all to be effective. It isn't. What version are you using? svn 1354, 1.0.0RC1 Was this discussed on the group? If so, please provide a link to the discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_frm/thread/9bbc290321fd895f/e6a967250021462a#e6a967250021462a Please provide any additional information below. I'll upload a patch soon that creates a "*reload-all*" var with a root binding of nil and code to bind it to true when the current thread has a :reload-all call pending. When *reload-all* is true, RT.load() will (re)load all libs from their ".clj" files even if they're already loaded. The fix for this may need to be coordinated with a fix for issue #3.

Page Info [edit]
|Turn Number:
|Side's Turn:
|Gobwin Knob
|Maggie stands near the tactical table in the Situation Room of the Tower of Efdup, fingers raised to her temple, performing Thinkamancy. Stanley stands with legs spread wide behind her, fists clenched, grinning with anticipation.
Maggie: Thinkagrams available, Tool.Stanley the Tool: Finally!
|Stanley strides forward, shouting excitedly. A painting of a moon shining through clouds in a dark blue sky over a forest campfire, hangs on the wall behind him.
Stanley the Tool: Zoom in, show me Ossomer!Show me his face!
|We look up at Maggie and Stanley standing by the table. A thinkagram of Ossomer and Tramennis hangs in the air in front of Stanley's gloating face. Parson, on the opposite side of the table looks at a blobby thinkagram taking form in front of him.
Stanley the Tool: Ahahahaaa! Yes! I told you, Hamster! I told you Ansom had these guys' number.
Parson Gotti: Mmokay.Good.
|We look down at the tactical table, littered with pink, blue, yellow and red tokens. Parson looks up at the thinkagram image of Wanda which has formed. A plant resembling a large Venus fly-trap is visible through this image.[1] Behind the table, Stanley shakes a fist at the image of Ossomer and Tramennis that Maggie is still projecting.
Stanley the Tool: Look at that!
They're running back to their ranks! Are you looking at this?
Parson Gotti: Um, my view is a... little different.Wanda Firebaugh: Parson, a word.
|Parson walks away from the table across the Situation Room, speaking to Wanda by thinkagram. A painting of a white tree hangs behind him and a snake-plant[2] sits in a pot against the far wall.
Parson Gotti: Yeah, Wanda.Wanda Firebaugh: This subterfuge seems to have worked, yes?
|Parson stands with his back to the table; he has a somber expression. In the background, Stanley's antics continue.
Parson Gotti: Looks like, yeah.
Ansom definitely got 'em to commit their top units outside the city. It's not like they can redeploy on our turn.
Stanley the Tool: Eeehee!
Lookittem!Wanda Firebaugh: In your opinion, should we proceed to take the garrison by air?
|Back among the rolling green hills of Jetstone, a decrypted archon in black flight-attendant raiment holds her thumbs and forefingers in a rectangle, projecting a thinkagram image of Parson in front of Wanda.
Parson Gotti: Yeah, but...
M'not sure I trust my opinion.
Wanda Firebaugh: Why?
Parson Gotti: Well, we came in by land, with not much scouting...We don't have a lot of current intelligence.
|We look down at Wanda sitting astride a pink dwagon, speaking to the image of Parson projected by the blonde decrypted archon. Four other decrypted archons hover nearby, two each in flight-attendant and dance-fighting raiment. A blue dwagon crouches on the brown paving stones of the road in the background.
Parson Gotti: We're in, like, the same blind position as the Coalition when they attacked Gobwin Knob.That makes me nervous, dunno about you.
|Wanda gazes at Parson's thinkagram image, a serene (or dazed?) expression on her face. The blonde archon's fingers appear in the foreground; a silver-haired archon's face is hidden by her hair as she looks into the background.[3] There, Ansom is directing troops from his rolled-up flying carpet. Three archons, a yellow, a green and a red dwagon and various other flying forms follow Ansom's directions. The yellow and green dwagons, at least, carry riders.
Wanda Firebaugh: If you are concerned, then I am.
What do you recommend?
Parson Gotti: Eh...Well the veil's blown now.
|A flight of dwagons, red, black, blue, yellow and green pass behind Wanda, traveling to the left. All but the yellow are mounted. Four archons, the nearest sporting two red braids, fly along. Other gray dwagon forms are even further away. Wanda continues to speak to Parson, her expression unchanged.
Parson Gotti: The flyers have plenty of move, so maybe go do some scouting?
I mean if they fell for it, they fell for it.But if they've got some backup plan or some surprise waiting for you, it's better to know ahead.
|Back in the Situation Room, Parson faces away from us, speaking to the thinkagram image of Wanda. In front of him, the fire-flower peeks up from below.
Wanda Firebaugh: So. Gather more intelligence before attacking the city.
Parson Gotti: That's what I'd do, yeah.Wanda Firebaugh: Then I shall.
|Wanda sits astride her pink dwagon, which has spread its wings and lifted some distance off the ground. The blonde archon continues to hover to her right, fingers still in thinkagram position. They look out across the Expository Bridge, toward the Jetstone column and encampment on the opposite side of the river. Below, a figure in red gazes up at Wanda and the blue dwagon's nose pokes into the frame.
Wanda Firebaugh: By more direct means than scouting, I think.End two-way.

Again...When your cursor is in a table and you right-click, the pop-up menu that appears includes table related options. The last two options in the group we've been looking at are Borders and Shading... and AutoFit.
Borders and Shading...
If you click this option, you see a familiar dialog...one that we've spent lots of time on. See these posts:
Table It!...Part 10...Borders Tab
Table It!...Part 11...Affecting Cells
- Select AutoFit to contents if you want the width of a column governed by its contents. For example, a column with three characters in it will be narrower than a column with ten characters.
- Select AutoFit to window if you want a table that has equal columns spaced across the width of the page. In addition, you can make adjustments on the fly.
- Select Fixed column width if you want the table to resize itself in relation to the margins; that is, the entire width of the page. You can set the width using the up and down arrows to create a table that isn't as wide; that is, it doesn't go margin to margin. In addition, you can make adjustments on the fly
You've seen these options before in Table It!...Part 2. See that post for more details.
Upcoming Posts
If you're a Word 2003 user, we have a few more options to look at on the Table menu.
If you're a Word 2007/2010, you have options we need to look at on two tabs: Design and Layout.
I'll finish up the Word 2003 options, and then we'll tackle the Design and Layout tabs.

The following reflection is a sidebar for "A Watershed Moment" by Ched Myers.—The Editors
I began to know my watershed—the James River in Virginia—when I realized that recovering "creatureliness" is at the core of our discipleship. I learned that my life is utterly dependent upon relationships with countless others, including microscopic organisms in the soil. It's this grand web of mutuality that forms our fundamental context. Watershed discipleship is contextual discipleship. If we seek to follow Jesus in context, nothing is more contextual than a watershed.
Participating in God's action to restore the world requires us to have a place. Churches have the capacity to become communities of alternative economic and political practice, embodiment, and imagination. To become communities of justice and reconciliation, we need to embrace the simple disciplines of table fellowship, relationship to water, growing food, and ecological literacy. That's the path of watershed discipleship.
Chris Grataski, founder of Wild Oak Ecological Design, is a permaculture educator and designer living in central Virginia.

MONTGOMERY — Deaths of men and women who had major impacts on Alabama in 2012 included the first person on the moon, Neil Armstrong, who rode an Alabama-built Saturn 5 rocket to the lunar surface in 1969 and returned safely.
Armstrong died Aug. 25 in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area. He was 82. On July 11, 1969, he stepped from the Apollo 11 lunar onto the moon's surface and said, "That's one small step for man, one giant step for mankind." His family said he died from "complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures."
Deaths of others in sports, politics, law and entertainment included television star George "Goober" Lindsey of "The Andy Griffith Show" and Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach, who towered over Gov. George C. Wallace during their showdown at the schoolhouse door in 1963 to register two blacks at the University of Alabama.
Lindsey died May 6 in Nashville. He was 83. The native of Jasper played the mechanic Goober Pyle on the "The Andy Griffith Show" and was an accomplished actor and comedian.

When combined with marijuana, it would create a perfect evening for some...
Yes! Not that I erm smoke or anything like that.
There are many nasty treat makers, for that post high carb nastiness craving.. I know all over Sunset Park there is this brand called BIMBO:
Bimbo looks bad.
Bimbo has money, and has expressed an interest: http://www.inquisitr.com/403557/hostess-may-be-bought-by-mexico-based-baking-company/#2DG5p77QcV7Ej0OD.99
I love bimbos!
The junior high school jokes about how a Ding Dong always wanted to be owned by a Bimbo write themselves:
I wouldn't quite ring the death knell as of yet ~ after all, Twinkies have been around since the dawn of civilization and will likely continue forever:
Yes, I think they will outlast us mere mortals.
Yes, but what about Ring Dings and Hostess Cupcakes?
Can civilization survive without them?
Please define "civilization"
The world as we know it, i.e. where all foods come wrapped in cardboard and plastic.
Those who buy meals at Wawa, Circle K, 7-11, and/or bodegas may have the hardest time waiting until the void left by Hostess is filled.
Will sales of Beef Jerky increase?
Twinkies are not all that difficult to make. So, if I want to eat some, I'll make my own.
But there is one product that no longer exists and, to me, too difficult to make at home. And I am soooooooo [expletive discreetly deleted by the poster] mad that Nabsico no longer makes these wonderful crackers:
They were so good with soups, esp with Yankee chowder. How I miss them!
Fear not, they will come back!
Here is your Twinkie update:
They will be back as early as July!
While the brand has returned, those who want to own one of the former plants can still make a bid:
@prodigalson Unless you have celiac disease, I question your need to abstain from gluten. Life is too short to deny yourself Twinkies.

PC/OS aims to be an easy-to-use Linux distribution right out of the box. Being Ubuntu-based, it has a head start on being user-friendly, but PC/OS goes above and beyond Ubuntu's measures to ensure ease of use by having common third-party non-GPL software included in the install.
The PC/OS distribution comes in several different flavors: OpenServer, OpenWorkstation, and OpenDesktop, all of which weigh in at around 700MB and fit on one CD. Included with the server edition are Webmin and other GUI utilities to make various server operations easier. The workstation edition includes multimedia production tools, software development tools, and office tools. I tested the desktop edition, which focuses on everyday use.
Like many distributions, PC/OS boots into a live CD which you can use without installation, or you can install it to your hard drive at boot time. The install is simple. It asks you which user name and password to use. You can choose manual disk partitioning, or let PC/OS handle that automatically. All of the software on the CD is automatically installed without user selection required. Near the end of the install you are given the option of importing users from other Linux installs on the same system; I chose not to. The install took about 25 minutes on my AMD Sempron 2800+ with 512MB of RAM, and when I rebooted I found it had properly detected all my hardware as well as providing a pop-up which installed the Nvidia drivers.
The PC/OS OpenDesktop CD image comes with several programs for completing various tasks under an Xfce desktop. Abiword and Gnumeric are the only included office applications, but there is a link in the Office section of the menu to Google Docs. You get the Firefox browser, Thunderbird for email, Pidgin for IM, Skype for VoIP, Transmission for BitTorrent, and Gnome PPP for the dial-up users. Asunder provides CD ripping, and Brasero CD burning. Exaile will play your music and VLC will play your videos. The GIMP stands alone as the only image editing software included, but when it comes to games, you can take your pick from among card games such as Solitaire, FreeCell, and BlackJack, as well as chess, mahjongg, Mines, Gnometris, and more. Wine is available to run Windows applications. Synaptic lets you add programs that aren't included in the default install, with the default sources including the Ubuntu Hardy repository as well as various other smaller repos.
PC/OS notably includes the Java Runtime Environment, Adobe Flash Player, and proprietary multimedia codecs. Many self-proclaimed user-friendly distributions fail to include these due to philosophical or legal issues, but their lack can result in massive headaches for mom-and-pop users who don't know how to manually install them.
PC/OS Open Desktop lives up to its claims of being user-friendly. While it isn't perfect, somebody who is unfamiliar with computer systems could install and use it without outside help. I don't believe that you can say the same thing about the latest Windows operating system. On top of that, it also fits on one CD, unlike many distributions which have switched to DVDs in their effort to include more software. PC/OS has stripped its distribution down to programs that cover users' essential needs; its simplicity is a sound principle when designing user-friendly software.
PC/OS just plain worked for me. There were no hitches, no problems, and no additional configuration or software installation required to perform what the daily tasks of Web browsing, instant messaging, word processing, and playing multimedia. While no trouble arose for me, there are forums available for you to ask any questions you might have about the distribution.
PC/OS may not include any remarkable new software, but that is not its goal. Instead, it provides an excellent starting point for people who have never used Linux and want to see what it is like. It will show them exactly how easy it can be to use Linux.

A Girl Named Moly
September 26th, 2012 17:41 pm | by Ed |
What's In A Name? Plenty and depending on the name, a lot of that can be trouble.
Moly is a nice enough girl, average in most respects except for her name. She introduces herself as "Molly" and spells it Moly because she hates the name she was given. You see, her parents are physicists that specialize in metallurgy and they have some odd ideas about what makes a good name. When their daughter was born they considered their options for naming for a full two weeks before finally giving her a name.
They named her "Molybdenum" after the metallic element of the same name which is often referred to as "Moly" for short. Most people don't think anything about her name as long as she can get away without having to give her full legal name. Then they get confused and she gets embarrassed and angry, especially after she has to explain just what "molybdenum" means.
Finally as she reached her eighteenth birthday she decided to do something about it once and for all. The trick was doing so without her parents finding out before she had gotten the name change finalized and legal. This included having to explain the correspondence she was getting from slane and slane, which she ended up telling her parents was a florist offering assorted sales and deals for the upcoming high school graduation instead of the law firm that was handling the case for her.
I'll say this for her, she proved nicely that if you want something bad enough you'll work hard to get it. She did just that. Worked all summer and as much time after school and on weekends as she could until finally she had the money to pay the lawyer and court fees to get her name changed.
She ended up changing it to "Moly". In the end her parents finally did understand and were happy that she kept the abbreviation of her original name as her new one. The big thing for her was that once the new name was legal, she could use it officially and not have to explain why she signed "molybdenum".

Machine to Machine communication (M2M) really is the next big thing. Linking almost anything to anything else – the other name for the category is the "Internet of Things" – cheaply and wirelessly, opens almost endless possibilities.
SAP commissioned Harris Interactive to survey IT decision makers. The results, which were released at the beginning of May, show how disruptive M2M may be: Thirty percent of those surveyed think that smart and intelligent cities will be the most important outcome of M2M deployments. Other uses, with outcomes and ramifications just as great, are possible in industry, telecommunications and other realms. More simply put, M2M is the fabric with which specific services, which will be huge in their own right, will be built. Home automation is a good example.
Such a big change requires millions of developments and inventions. Here are the latest developments from the M2M sector.

Halfway through my run and with the rain pouring down, my Garmin 305 started flipping out, blinking between screens and none of the buttons worked. Got home and hit power+reset+mode and it turned off, but now it won't power back up. Ugh. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Looks like I might just have to buy a brand new one, but fortunately they're really cheap now. (Update: it's showing some signs of life. Looks like the scroll buttons on the right side are sticking, perhaps a side effect of the recent humidity. Still not useable at this point though.)
Other than that, the run went well. I purposely headed out right before the rain was going to start so I could have a nice cool run and minimize deer flies. I climbed Deering Ridge road hitting my splits in the 7:40s pretty easily on the three mile climb up, and then reached the hairpin turn to the dirt road for the run down. It was here the Garmin was flipping out.
Had to guess at my pace but I knew I was faster than going up, probably hitting around 7:00/mile along the dirt road. Decided to cut through the gravel pit and take the trail home, just to mix things up a little. Deer flies were noticeably worse here, and I was also in a stretch where the rain was light. Picked up a small, fallen maple leaf branch and whipped my back intermittently to keep them away. Still, they were nothing compared to yesterday morning.
Looking forward to racing the Bradbury Scuffle tomorrow. I think I've gotten a lot of my speed back at this distance, so I plan on actually racing it.
Ran 5.2 miles @ ~7:30/mile pace.
Paved roads, dirt roads, trails.
Very hilly.
Lower 80s to lower 70s, overcast, light to heavy rain.
Asics GT-2130, shorts, short sleeved shirt, cap.

Tried something I've been thinking about for a while. Not wildly successful but not horrible. Had some small channel cats in the freezer from last year. Thawed them and then boiled until the meat flaked off easily. Got the meat cooled a little and pretty finely chopped. Added an egg and enough saltine crackers to make it pasty enough to hold together. Formed into balls and fried until they got golden. Have done the same thing with canned salmon with decent results.
Think the above would work with any fish. Might try to get a little more of the moisture out next time as it took quite a bit of cracker to get things dry enough to stick together. Just about overpowered the fish with saltine. Had this with a "salsa" made with a can of spiced tomato mix, pineaple, canned corn, mandarin oranges and some simple spices.
As stated…..not wildly successful but wanted to give it a try. Is not a hard recipe to try and is a little departure from the usual fried or broiled stuff. Looking forward to catching some new fish before long!!

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said the 2014 All-Star game will be played in Minnesota because "this is the right thing to do and this is the right place to be."
Selig announced Wednesday that the Twins and Target Field will host the game. It's the first time since the Twins hosted the game since 1985, when it was at the recently built Metrodome. The All-Star game was also played in Minnesota in 1965, at the old Metropolitan Stadium.
The return of the All-Star game to Minnesota has been widely anticipated ever since the Twins gained approval to build Target Field.
The new ballpark has been widely praised as one of the best in the game and Selig has long been close with the Pohlad family, which owns the Twins. The 2013 All-Star game will be held at the New York Mets' Citi Field.

A Danish film production company has jumped into the app game with a fun app for kids to learn about "big machines," such as large mobile equipment used in farming, construction, lumber production, mining and more.
Designed for the iPhone and iPad, the app allows children to watch videos and learn about different types of machinery: tractors, hay balers, scrapers, compactors, harvesters, trucks and more. Although it's not about the hydraulics in these machines, the app is a neat little way to introduce kids to these industries and how they are powered and run.
Both films are done with English narration and last about 10 minutes each. Individual films with each machine can be bought with the app, without narration, making it fun for the kids to watch the machines work, crush, pull and lift and hear them roar over and over again.
The creators behind the new app are Danish film production company, Oscar Film, and software developer, Huge Lawn Software. According to Oscar Film producer and creative director, Kristian Jorgensen, he got the idea from watching how his own children were fascinated with books about big machines. "Why not give them the full experience with moving images and sound?" Jorgensen said. "We have produced films with more than ten powerful machines, because we think that an app is a great opportunity for us to get into the market, rather than a traditional DVD production which is very costly."
Jorgensen they hope to make other similar app films, highlighting rescue vehicles, trains, ships, airplanes, and more.

Passengers leave cruise ship telling tales of woe
Last Updated 7:36 a.m. ET
MOBILE, Ala. The passengers of the Carnival cruise ship Triumph began the process of getting back to normal early Friday, checking into hotels for a shower, hot meal and good night's sleep or boarding buses bound for other cities after five numbing days at sea on a powerless ship disabled by an engine-room fire.
The cruise ship carrying some 4,200 people finally docked late Thursday in Mobile, as passengers raucously cheered the end to an ocean odyssey they say was marked by overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
"Sweet Home Alabama!" read one of the homemade signs passengers affixed alongside the 14-story ship as many celebrated at deck rails lining several levels of the stricken ship.
The ship's horn loudly blasted several times as four tugboats pulled the crippled ship to shore at about 9:15 p.m. CST. Some passengers gave a thumbs-up sign, and flashes from cameras and cell phones lit the night.
Nearly four hours later, the last passenger had disembarked.
Some, like 56-year-old Deborah Knight of Houston, had no interest in boarding one of about 100 buses assembled to carry passengers to hotels in New Orleans or Texas. Her husband, Seth, drove in from Houston and they checked into a downtown Mobile hotel.
"I want a hot shower and a daggum Whataburger," said Knight, who was wearing a bathrobe over her clothes as her bags were unloaded from her husband's pickup truck. She said she was afraid to eat the food on board and had gotten sick while on the ship.
To add insult to injury, at least one of the chartered buses became stranded on the way to New Orleans, correspondent Anna Werner told "CBS This Morning." Passenger Jacob Combs called CBS News en route to say his bus was sitting by the side of the road, as he waited for yet one more rescue.
As buses arrived in the pre-dawn darkness at the Hilton in New Orleans, paramedics were on the scene with wheelchairs to roll in passengers who were elderly or too fatigued to walk.
Many were tired and didn't want to talk. There were long lines to check into rooms. Some got emotional as they described the deplorable conditions of the ship.
"It was horrible, just horrible" said Maria Hernandez, 28, of Angleton, Texas, tears welling in her eyes as she talked about waking up to smoke in her lower-level room Sunday, and the days of heat and stench to follow. She was on a "girls trip" with friends.
She said the group hauled mattresses to upper-level decks to escape the heat. As she pulled her luggage into the hotel, a flashlight around her neck, she managed a smile and even a giggle when asked to show her red "poo-poo bag" -- distributed by the cruise line for collecting human waste.
This was only part of her journey to get home. Hernandez, like hundreds of others, would get to enjoy a brief reprieve at the hotel before flying home later in the day.
"I just can't wait to be home," she said.}
It wasn't long after the ship pulled into the Port of Mobile that passengers began streaming down the gang plank, some in wheelchairs and others pulling carry-on luggage. One man gave the thumbs-up.
An ambulance pulled up to a gate and pulled away, lights flashing.
Carnival had said it would take up to five hours for all the 3,000 passengers to be off. It took closer to four.
"All guests have now disembarked the Carnival Triumph," Carnival tweeted.
Carnival has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before the engine-room blaze. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation.
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival announced Wednesday they would each get an additional $500 in compensation.
In texts and flitting cell phone calls, the ship's passengers described miserable conditions while at sea, many anxious to walk on solid ground.
Passenger Jacob Combs told CBS News via phone: "The really bad part is there was no running water and toilets for almost the first 30 hours. Once they finally did get running water, the toilets only worked in certain places. I would say it's the worst smell imaginable."
Emailed photos reveal squalid conditions. Many passengers used red plastic bags as toilets. Hundreds slept in hallways or topside to escape the foul and stagnate air below deck.
Carnival CEO Jerry Cahill insists passengers were never at risk. But 22-year old Leslie Mayberry disagreed.
"It was leaning to one side, it was literally like walking up hill whenever the boat was leaning," she said. "I mean, it was very scary," Mayberry said. "A lot of people thought it was going to tip over and sink. And then you look out on the deck and you see the ocean and there is no one, you are just by yourself and you are so alone, even though you are around 3,000 other people on this boat."
For 24-year-old Brittany Ferguson of Texas, not knowing how long passengers had to endure their time aboard was the worst part.
"I'm feeling awesome just to see land and buildings," said Ferguson, who was in a white robe given to her aboard to weather the cold nights. "The scariest part was just not knowing when we'd get back."
As the ship pulled up, some aboard shouted, "Hello, Mobile!" Some danced in celebration on one of the balconies. "Happy V-Day" read one of the homemade signs made for the Valentine's Day arrival and another, more starkly: "The ship's afloat, so is the sewage."
A few dozen relatives on the top floor of the parking deck of the terminal were waving lights at the ship as it carefully made its way alongside. Those about were screaming, whistling and taking pictures.
Hundreds gawked from dockside at the arrival at the Alabama cruise terminal in Mobile, the state's only seaport, as the Triumph docked.
Taxis were lined up waiting for people, and motorists on Interstate 10 stopped to watch the exodus of passengers from the cruise ship.
Some still aboard chanted, "Let me off, let me off!"
It took six grueling hours navigating the 30-odd-mile ship channel to dock, guided by at least four towboats. Nearly 900 feet in length, it was the largest cruise ship ever to dock at Mobile.
Galveston is the home port of the ill-fated ship, which lost power in an engine-room fire Sunday some 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. It was the end of a cruise that wasn't anything like what a brochure might describe.
Carnival's Cahill apologized at a news conference and later on the public address system as people were disembarking.
"I appreciate the patience of our guests and their ability to cope with the situation. And I'd like to reiterate the apology I made earlier. I know the conditions on board were very poor," he said. "We pride ourselves on providing our guests with a great vacation experience, and clearly we failed in this particular case."
Passenger Ferguson said crew members tried to make the situation bearable.
"They did their best to keep our spirits up," she said.
Joseph and Cecilia Alvarez of San Antonio said some passengers passed the time by forming a Bible study group.
"It was awesome," he said. "It lifted up our souls and gave us hope that we would get back."
While the passengers are headed home, Triumph will head to a Mobile shipyard for assessment.
Earlier Thursday -- four days after the 893-foot ship was crippled in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico -- the passengers and crew suffered another setback with towline issues that brought the vessel to a dead stop for about an hour just as it was getting close to port.
As the vessel drew within cell phone range Thursday, passengers vented their anger.
In a text message, Kalin Hill, of Houston, described deplorable conditions over the past few days.
"The lower floors had it the worst, the floors 'squish' when you walk and lots of the lower rooms have flooding from above floors," Hill wrote. "Half the bachelorette party was on two; the smell down there literally chokes you and hurts your eyes."
She said, "There's poop and urine all along the floor. The floor is flooded with sewer water ... and we had to poop in bags."
The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable.
Kendall Jenkins of Houston won her first cruise as a contest prize. But she's never planning to set sail on a cruise again after the ill-fated voyage of the Triumph, despite the offer for another free cruise.
"This is my first and last cruise. So if anyone wants my free cruise, look me up," said Jenkins, 24.
She and her friend, Ferguson, bounded off the ship Thursday night clad in bathrobes. They immediately kissed the pavement at the Port of Mobile, having spent their final minutes aboard jumping up and down excitedly.
Some travel agents said cruise prices and bookings have not been affected by the disabled Carnival ship, but others in the industry say it's too early to tell.
Thelbert Lanier was waiting at the Mobile port for his wife, who texted him early Thursday.
"Room smells like an outhouse. Cold water only, toilets haven't work in 3-1/2 days. Happy Valentines Day!!! I love u & wish I was there," she said in the text message, which was viewed by The Associated Press. "It's 4:00 am. Can't sleep ... it's cold & I'm starting to get sick."

Apparent 'Butt Dial' to Oregon Police Leads to Drug Bust
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -- A "butt dial" – an accidental call made without the caller's knowledge – can result in an overheard conversation and maybe some awkwardness if the wrong thing gets said. But in a recent Oregon case, the call was beyond awkward: It may have been incriminating.
Raleigh Reynolds, 25, was arrested on felony drug charges Monday after an apparent "butt dial" to the Molalla Police Department during what the dispatcher believed was a drug deal.
"There have been a lot of laughs about it," Molalla Sgt. Chris Long told ABC News. "Our job isn't usually that easy."
The emergency dispatcher tracked the phone's GPS signal to an alley next to a local bar, which was located 100 yards from the police department, Long said.
Long added that there were two people on foot nearby, both of whom denied having a working cell phone. The on-scene officer spoke loudly so that the dispatcher could confirm she could hear him through the cell phone.
"In the 13 years I've been doing this, I have never had anyone butt dial a drug deal," Long said. "We have had a lot of people butt dial, which is serious because it can tie up the 9-1-1 system."
Inside a nearby vehicle believed to belong to Reynolds, the officer found some methamphetamine and a small amount of marijuana, police said. The woman who was with Reynolds had the cell phone in her purse, police said.
Reynolds was jailed on multiple drug charges, released on bail, and is currently awaiting a court appearance. Attempts to reach Reynolds were unsuccessful and police did not know whether or not he had an attorney.
The woman with Reynolds was cited with a violation for less than an ounce of marijuana.

Recently I walked through a speech clinic of the near future. You might expect that the examination rooms of this clinic would be stocked with high-powered flexible endoscopes, that would allow one to see with stunning detail oral, laryngeal and pharyngeal structures. You might also look around for powerful tablets and smartphones and high-fidelity digital audio speakers, to provide crystal clear reproductions of a person's speech output. Today's communication sciences and disorders (CSD) professional is rapidly reformatting current practice models, with wholesale changes for third party reimbursement occurring as this blog is written. But instead of the high technology fittings of a large scale speech clinic, this speech clinic of the near future has barely changed, but for shelves that contain a number of prevention products. The CSD professional encounters something new but also something old, when introducing prevention activities into a clinical practice. What is prevention to a CSD professional? How futuristic is the push to include prevention as a CSD product line? Can most CSD practices absorb prevention into their business models?
When the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) advocated for prevention of disorders of communication, cognition and swallowing in its 1987 position paper, a slow-rolling but persistently accelerating snowball had been born. Prevention of communication* disorders, on the one hand, seems a radically divergent activity from traditional clinical practice for many speech-language pathologists and audiologists. "You mean I have to not only work with my patients to help them improve, but I also have to help change the world so I have fewer patients?" Exactly. That's it. On the other hand, prevention is set firmly within the foundation of ASHA practice patterns. Prevention may in the short term help some in your community forestall the need for treatment. It will also in the long term bring more persons in need to the CSD professional's door.
With primary prevention, the CSD professional attempts to reduce or eliminate conditions that may bring about a communication disorder. You do this through either altering a person's susceptibility to a condition (if I am exposed, what are the odds I will stay healthy?), or reducing the degree of exposure (should I simply avoid the risk in order to stay healthy?) that makes you susceptible. An example of altering your susceptibility might be improving your speech breathing, to speak over noise you encounter while working at a busy restaurant. The same restaurant worker may, in turn, reduce exposure by changing her or his work schedule to rest the voice.
Primary prevention appears the most alien of the prevention concepts to CSD professionals. After all, most of us stop considering a new product line when there is no reimbursement for it! And it's not testing or treatment, but – but – it's selling or teaching stuff, to people who may not have impairments. Can I teach healthy people things that may head off their becoming disabled? Can I sell things, and keep track of sales taxes? Yes, we can. If we are willing to lurch out of our comfort zones as clinicians, there may be tremendous return on investment with the increased community visibility we gain as health promotion professionals. So, how do we do primary prevention in CSD? What is the stuff of it? What are the outcomes we want?
On the primary prevention shelves of this near future clinic, I saw tools that included:
I. Oral-motor/motor speech:
- Kazoobie kazoo @ $2
- Hohner beginner harmonica @ $8.50
II. Fluency
- Mouth Sounds, by Fred Newman @ $10
- The Speech Choir: With American Ballads and English Poetry for Choral Reading by Marjorie Gullan@ $1 (used)
III. Voice:
- C.O. Bigelow Elixir White/Green hair and body wash @ $10
- 1 gallon of distilled water @ $1
IV. Swallowing:
- 1-qt Ziploc bag, containing a roll of Life Savers and a dispenser of mint waxed dental floss @ $5
- 1–qt. Ziploc bag, containing a bound supply of 1 doz. sterile tongue depressors @ $5
V. Cognition:
- Radius model ergonomic garden trowel @ $10
- GAMES magazine: single issue @ $5
VI. Speech and language:
- The New Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katzen @ $10
- Walk Off Weight with Your Pedometer: A Simple 28-Day Pedometer Walking Program, by Jan Small @ $10
Readers should note that the selection of brand name products is purely coincidental by the blogger. Products have neither been trialed prior to this writing, nor are there financial or non-financial relationships between the blogger and any product company. Primary prevention products are chosen for stocking in this clinic of the near future for their relatively low price; their ready availability in the community, and their applicability to the needs of the prevention consumer. Price points are strictly ad hoc at this writing; experienced CSD practitioners will adjust the price point and product selection to a level that their customers will bear.
The sales area for primary prevention has its own entrance from street level, thereby controlling the mixing of regular clinic patients (tertiary prevention consumers) with those shopping for their CSD wellness needs. Adjacent to the sales area is a video viewing room, with four computing devices available to consumers to view demonstrations of each primary prevention product. Reading racks mounted at eye level near the viewing stations, contain fliers and magazines from community services that support and announce wellness activities on community calendars.
Let's make sure the original questions posed are answered. To wit:
- How do we do primary prevention in CSD?
- What is the stuff of it?
- What are the outcomes we want?
Ideally, primary prevention products and activities bring your customer into your marketplace. You help them stay healthy to function in their communities, so that the probability of their entering the healthcare system to identify and treat impairments is lowered. You do primary prevention through teaching, training, referring, marketing, selling, cooperating and participating in a large network of community and supports and services for your customer. Your collaborators in primary prevention may include office managers; health educators; fitness center trainers; bodyworkers; priests, rabbis, imams and healers; drama and singing and cooking teachers; and all those who work in wellness and health promotion. Outcome measurement may be as simple a function as that of measuring the customer's changes in both health literacy and patient "activation", as in the Patient Activation Measure of Hibbard and colleagues. The long-term outcome desired is that community healthcare costs are ratcheted downward. The story of primary prevention in CSD is, again, being written as we walk through this near future clinic. What do you see in the clinic of the future? Time to move into the secondary prevention wing now….

Story highlights
- New China "Millionaires Happiness Report" shows dissatisfaction with health, life
- Hurun: "In general, the report shows that the richer you are, the less happy you are"
It's not easy being rich. At least that's what new findings suggest from "The Millionaires Happiness Report" released by the Shanghai-based Hurun Research Institute.
"In general, the report shows that the richer you are, the less happy you are," the report authors said.
According to the inaugural report which surveyed 551 Mainland Chinese with a net worth of over 10 million yuan ($1.6 million), the average millionaire in China sleeps only 6.6 hours during the working week.
Chinese millionaires are dissatisfied with their health and are looking to prioritize spending more time with their family, the report said. The "self-made" female super-rich, who were 37 years old on average, are more likely to be unmarried with 35% of the respondents being either divorced or having remained single. The figure is almost twice that of the men surveyed.
The average age of all Chinese millionaires surveyed was 38 years old, rising to 40 among the "super-rich" -- those with net wealth of $16 million.
The lack of satisfaction for China's nouveau riche appears to be growing. Hurun Report, a magazine best known for its ranking of the wealthiest individuals in China, surveyed 1,000 super-rich Chinese in 2011 found that 55% of the respondents either in the process of leaving China or seriously considering it.
"What we are seeing is a sense of insecurity or, perhaps you want to look at it from another side, looking for a sense of insurance policy," said Rupert Hoogewerf, publisher of Hurun Report, told CNN in November. "So they are beginning to quite actively try and get a green card in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Singapore."

A wave of recalls are reaching the shores of motorcycle manufacturers, as brake maker Nissin has had to recall a number of its ABS units for a misaligned inlet valve, which could allow foregin particles into the fluid of the braking system, which could cause the ABS functionality to fail.
Triumph first discovered the defect, and reported it to Nissin, which in-turn notified its other affected OEMs. So far 5,766 motorcycles have been affected by the recall, comprising a total of four manufacturers (a list of the models is after the jump, with a link to the appropriate NHTSA posting). We will update this list if/when more model recalls are announced.

I am an artist/printmaker living and working in the Rochester, NY area. I received an undergraduate degree from The Museum School of Fine Art and Tufts University in 1983. In 1992, I received my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology. I have spent much of my work life supporting the electronic prepress world of the likes of Xerox and Kodak, while still maintaining the practice of making and exhibiting my artwork.
Much of my art is representative of my dark-humored, fantasy view of life. It draws inspiration from pop culture, such as comic books (which have been a lifelong love of mine), the internet (with its wealth of pictures of anything you can imagine) and traditional art (always inspiring).
My media of frequent choice is a linoleum cut technique, using oil-based printing inks. A linoleum cut is a relief printing process with linoleum as the medium rather than the more traditional wood. It offers me the graphic edge that characterizes my style. I then finish certain pieces with watercolor handwork for the addition of bright, intense color to the prints.
Editions are limited to fewer than 250 due to the labor-intensive, individualized process of hand-painting each piece. This allows each piece in the edition to be unique and I enjoy the attention and variety I am able to give each print. There is no goal to make every print in an edition identical—indeed it is quite the opposite—I find my audiences also become interested in the variations they see with their own personal preferences playing into their final choices.
I hope you enjoy and can relate on some level to my work. Feel free to send me comments: email@example.com. Check back regularly for exhibit schedules and new work posted for sale. If you want me to notify you of any upcoming shows or events I am exhibiting in, please email your name, address, phone number and email address.
Thanks and don't be afraid to laugh!

Zorin Linux Is Heavy on the Windows Dressing
Sep 19, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Zorin Linux 6.0 is a very capable replacement operating system for Microsoft Windows. It is also a bother-free alternative to other Linux distros that suffer from the usability issues of the Gnome 3 or Ubuntu Unity desktop interfaces. The Zorin Linux distro is an offshoot of Canonical's Ubuntu Linux but it has much more of the look and feel of Linux Mint with a few very substantial differences. These make Zorin an ideal choice for Windows users and others who dislike having to learn a new approach to computing.
One of these embellishments is a modified bottom panel that has the look and feel of the Windows start menu and task bar. Another key design difference is Zorin's familiar default Windows 7-like interface. This combination goes a long way towards reducing the learning curve of migrating to Linux while still experiencing the main advantages of Linux.
For many newcomers to Linux, Zorin has a deal maker that is unmatched in any other Linux distribution. It comes with several integrated tools that let you modify Zorin's appearance. Look Changer lets you decide how the desktop looks and acts. You can tweak the look and feel even more with Splash Screen Manager, Internet Browser Manager and Background Plus.
For example, with a click of a button you can have the desktop accurately the look and function of Windows 7, Windows XP or GNOME 2 in the free versions of Zorin OS. The Premium versions also include the Windows 2000, Unity and Mac OS X looks.
Free Or Not?
As I continue to tour various Linux distributions, I am seeing a trend that raises concerns. Traditionally, the Linux OS has been available for free as a hallmark of the open source software concept.
Paying for specialized Linux versions or subscribing for support features is nothing new. But offering users a few basic fully functional distro versions while charging for a premium release with more extensive features of a particular distro seems to violate the intent of FOSS (Free Open Source Software) principles.
Paying for a premium version of Zorin poses problems if you live in the U.S. The website only displays Euro prices.
Getting It
Three free versions are available for download. Zorin OS 6 Core is the standard desktop version of Zorin OS. It comes in 32-bit and 64-bit (1.4) versions.
Zorin OS 6.1 Lite is the streamlined version of Zorin OS. It is designed for use on old and low-spec computers. Zorin OS 6 Educational is for educational purposes.
Several paid versions are available with specialty open source packages for business, gaming and multimedia.
Don't ignore the warning on the download page. It recommends using the Firefox web browser to avoid file corruption issues during the download process. I ignored that warning and had to do it over again. The ISO file failed to properly burn a live DVD otherwise.
Snappy Set Up
Zorin ran relatively fast from the live DVD version. But some features related to the desktop look and feel did not work from the live version. That is to be expected. Once I installed Zorin to my test machine's hard drive, all the functionality was present.
For instance, Zorin enables a few desktop visual effects. You can tweak the look and feel of these animations by going to System Tools > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager.
This is the element missing as most Linux disros upgraded to GNOME 3 or pushed users into other desktop environments. In most cases, the desktop effects and animations that Compiz created are now only available in the KDE desktop and distros such as Zorin that retained that functionality.
No Fuss
For those who detest fiddling, Zorin ships with all codecs enabled. This lets you watch videos and listen to streaming music without having to set up any of the player applications. This is a strong selling point, once that resembles the experience with Linux Mint.
One of the things you can change if you want is the default background. Zorin ships with more than 25 artistically pleasing images. Access them by right-clicking on the desktop or choosing the Appearance option from the System Settings menu in the System Tools area.
I was generally impressed with Zorin. Only one drawback would deter me from adopting it as my main Linux OS. I found no easy way to set up virtual workspaces.
Pleasing Panel
Zorin uses a modified version of the Avant Window Navigator (AWN) as a replacement panel. It does not have all the visual affects found in the separate AWN app.
Instead, the modified AWN is integrated into the desktop. It functions as a traditional panel rather than a docking bar.
I found it to be less flexible than the original AWN. It also lacked the visual effects options that the real AWN has.
The real AWN functions as a dock similar to what the Mac OS uses. But the Zorin version morphed AWN into a panel-like feature hard-wired to the bottom of the screen. The traditional Gnome panel does not exist in Zorin.
Not All Rosy
After hours of fiddling with Zorin, I discovered that the panel (see next section) has a setting to add applets. Once I installed the window list and desktop switcher applets in the dock preferences, I could right click on the top of an open window to send it to a new virtual desktop.
I was also able to right-click on the top border of an open window without these applets installed to access the options to move the window to another workspace. But other than treating the moved window as a minimized icon on the task panel or using the window switcher, no other way exists to navigate among virtual workspaces.
This might not be a problem for Windows OS converts. Virtual workspaces is a feature not built into Windows and is only available with add-on programs installed.
Bottom Line
Zorin is a solid choice for hassle-free computing. Its design sidesteps the controversial desktop issues in recent OS upgrades of other Linux distros. It is an easy-to-use Linux platform that is ideal for newcomers and veteran Linux users alike.

"Back in the day, when you typed a phrase into a search engine, it would identify keywords in that phrase and only display results which contained them. Now, semantic search algorithms have given search engines the ability to not only make word associations, but to identify context and intent – quite similar to the human brain." Amazing !

Ten months after it began, the end of the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix is in sight.
Multiple sources close to the event told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the eight-man tournament's finals are expected to head to Columbus, Ohio's Arnold Sports Festival 2012. The festival has previously hosted several UFC and
WEC events.
That means March 3 is likely to see a heavyweight bout between Josh Barnett (31-5 MMA, 2-0 SF) and Daniel Cormier (9-0 MMA, 6-0 SF) that will determine the promotion's tournament champion. As with previous events held at the festival, Nationwide Arena is expected to host.
However, an Ohio Athletic Commission official today told MMAjunkie.com no event is officially scheduled for March 3, though multiple organization have been discussing the possibility with Arnold Sports Festival organizers. If a deal is reached, the commission would then need to approve the show.
As per a new broadcast agreement announced Thursday between Showtime and the Zuffa-owned Strikeforce, the March event's main card would air live on Showtime while preliminary-card fights air on Showtime Extreme.
The Arnold Sports Festival is a four-day competition series an expo that hosts a variety of events, including a bodybuilding competition, amateur MMA competition and various fitness and sports exhibitions.
The timetable of the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix was unclear for several months due to a broken hand Cormier suffered in the semifinals of the competition, even though the fighter recently returned to training and said he was working through the injury in anticipation of the finals. Barnett escaped unscathed from his semifinal bout.
Having recently gotten a cast on his hand removed, Cormier has a little less than three months to get up to speed.
The heavyweight grand prix kicked off to great fanfare in February at East Rutherford, N.J.'s IZOD Center, where former PRIDE champ Fedor Emelianenko returned after suffering the first real loss of his career. He took on Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in the competition's opening round/quarterfinals and was upset in shocking fashion when a cageside doctor ruled him unable to continue after the second round.
In the other quarterfinal bracket, Andrei Arlovski was unsuccessful in halting a three-fight skid when Sergei Kharitonov knocked him out cold in the first round of their bout.
The competition then moved on to Dallas, where a second quarterfinal event hosted Barnett vs. Brett Rogers and Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum in co-headlining bouts. Barnett took a little more than a round to submit Rogers, and in a heavily booed fight, Overeem outstruck and outpointed Werdum to advance to the semifinals.
There, at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati in September, Barnett easily submitted Kharitonov. Missing from the tournament, however, was Overeem, who was released by Strikeforce parent company Zuffa when he withdrew from the competition with a rib injury (that at the time was compounded by a toe injury). In his place went alternate Daniel Cormier, who shocked many by flooring Silva in the first round with a flurry of punches.
If booked, "Strikeforce Grand Prix Final: Barnett vs. Cormier" would air the day after a scheduled UFC on FX 2 event in Sydney, Australia.
Check back with MMAjunkie.com for more details on the event as they become available.

What's up at Boston art galleries
Mughal miniature painting, popular in India's Mughal Empire from the 16th century to the 19th century, is an exacting practice. When the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, began training artists in the techniques, aspiring miniaturists were taught how to grind pigments from minerals, how to make brushes that are sometimes whisper thin, how to make paper, and how to shape narrative with meticulous detail and jewel tones.
"Illuminated Geographies: Pakistani Miniaturist Practice in the Wake of the Global Turn" at Tufts University Art Gallery spotlights four artists who learned Mughal miniature painting at the National College of Arts, and who have since settled outside of Pakistan and expanded upon the form to make nervy, contemporary work.
Saira Wasim is the clearest descendant of the Mughal miniaturists, making crisp narrative paintings with figures in elaborate costumes. Wasim's paintings comment on consumer culture and art history, and sometimes intriguingly equate them. In "Blue Blood (Cavalli, Lanvin, Tom Ford, Versace, Giorgio Armani)," the models in a fashion show — Frida Kahlo, Princess Diana, and Mona Lisa, among others — pose in fancy duds on stage as the men in the audience, also familiar from life and art history, gawk and gesture.
Faiza Butt's gorgeous light boxes, which pump up the color like the bejeweled tones in miniatures, feature text in Urdu. "One," a triptych, revolves around photographic images of a red mouth holding a glitzy pendant that spells out "Allah" in Urdu, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. It ties up religiosity, sexuality, and bling in an electrically charged package. (Butt is scheduled to give a lecture at the gallery at 4 p.m. on Feb. 28.) Murad Khan Mumtaz mixes his own pigments for his small, pungent, slightly abstracted landscapes of the American Southwest.
Boston-based Ambreen Butt (no relation to Faiza) has in the past used the flattened figures of miniature painting in her layered, elaborate drawings. Now, the figures are gone. The installation "I am my lost diamond (2)," a variation of work in her recent show at Carroll and Sons, uses hundreds of tiny casts of fingers in shades of red, suggesting the remains of a bomb blast — and the stippling technique used in miniature painting. Here, she arranges them in the pattern of a Persian carpet.
Bringing centuries-old techniques to 21st-century themes, these artists move the artistic DNA forward, even as they blow away the courtly, deferential mood of the paintings of yesteryear.
Lines of shadow, light, movement
Three great practitioners of drawing have works up in "StrokeTraceBlow" at Steven Zevitas Gallery. Each has been at it for years. Their drawings, though small, are sharp and fully realized.
Jacob El Hanani was at the forefront of the trend of obsessive, tiny mark-making. The elegant and vexing "Not Line" comprises thousands of tiny ink lines thinner and shorter than an eyelash. He creates form, shadow, light, and movement through the density with which he applies the lines. This one sports a sense of landscape, airy up top and dark at the bottom, with a thicket of rods intersecting in the foreground.
Roland Flexner draws with liquid graphite, which he moves across the paper in the short period of time before it dries with gravity and by blowing. His moonlit chiaroscuro straddles abstraction and landscape, with curvaceous horizontal forms striated like tiger fur.
Joshua Neustein folds, rips, and punctures carbon paper and tissue paper into elegant abstractions that ever so delicately creep toward sculpture. "Gendered" has us peering through a trapezoidal window in the carbon paper, past what might be black curtains opening in a slightly bent vertical to triangular folds in pink tissue paper inside. Succinct, witty, completely abstract, it synthesizes masculine and feminine into one form.
Dancers with drinks
"Boxers & Ballerinas," Michael Costello's jaunty drawing show at Gold Gallery, features lovingly rendered figure drawings that are anything but precious. His ballerinas — red-cheeked fellows wearing nothing but tutus — stand at the bar, not the barre, and get progressively more drunk.
"Dancers at the Bar 5" shows three of them, arms outstretched, each with a drink in hand, looking like tenors on a bender. There's no evidence of the bar itself in this drawing, so you might be deceived at first that these guys are actually performers. "Dancers at the Bar 3" does show the bar, with bottles. The four dancers are much less in synch than in "Dancers at the Bar 5." Indeed, one appears to have passed out.
Some of Costello's figures are clowns — literally. In one drawing a clown peers beneath a dancer's tutu. But truly, all his figures are clowns, slapstick and out of bounds. They'd be cads if they were in street clothes, but in their tutus or boxer shorts, they're sweet.
Also on view, a terrific painting, "Mr. & Mrs. Arnolfini," after Jan van Ecyk's 1434 wedding painting, "Arnolfini Portrait," with this laconic couple clad only in their underwear. It's not often we see such a skilled painter work with such broad humor — as with the tutus, that blending of high and low makes it work.

The Skinny:
- Luxurious grill with drop-dead good looks
- Leader in grilling innovation
- One of the best engineered grills
- Stylish LED control knob lighting
- Amazing warranty
Things We Love:
Lynx Grills are the sleekest and most innovative brand of grills I've seen. They are made in the USA and are amazingly engineered to be durable with inventive features not found on other grills. Lynx definitely crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's with their Professional series.
The Lynx Professional's exterior is made with a smoothly polished 304 grade stainless steel that seems to keep a like-new appearance longer than other premium grills. The Lynx also comes with stylish LED lit control knobs that look incredible at night and will really turn some heads at your next barbecue. Also, Lynx offers a ton of outdoor kitchen components that match the grill's quality and good looks.
Another nice feature on the Lynx is the fluid-rotating handle and spring assist hood that makes opening and closing the grill a piece of cake. This is a feature you won't appreciate until trying it for the first time, as larger grill hoods tend to be pretty heavy to open.
Under the hood, Lynx offers multiple configurations of the most innovative burners on the market, with unique ceramic burners and Trident infrared searing burners. Whether you want all infrared burners, all traditional burners, or one infrared with two traditional burners, Lynx will configure it for you and the price stays the same.
The innovative ceramic burners will never rust or corrode, while also providing superior heat retention when compared to typical stainless steel burners. Also, the ceramic burners radiate heat better towards the cooking surface than traditional stainless steel burners. Sitting above the ceramic burners, lies the ceramic briquette flame taming system. The ceramic briquettes sit atop a stainless steel tray, absorbing heat from the burners and spreading it across the grilling surface. Between the ceramic burners and ceramic flame taming system, Lynx grills definitely offer a super even cooking surface from front-to-back and side-to-side.
When it comes to infrared, many brands claim theirs are variable. However, I have not found an infrared burner nearly as variable in temperature as the Lynx Trident burner. Because of the infrared burners unique trident design, it allows you to lower the temperature, giving you truly versatile infrared cooking options, from scorching hot to simmering.
Some Lynx grill models offer FlameTrak, a groundbreaking safety technology developed by Lynx to address and eliminate gas grill accidents. FlameTrak monitors the flame on your Lynx grill using sensors. If a flame fails to ignite or blows out, the sensor will try to relight the burner for 13 seconds. If the flame does not relight after 13 seconds the gas supply is shut off, and a red light will turn on indicating an error with the flame.
Lynx's rear ceramic infrared rotisserie burner stretches wider across the grilling surface than other grills. By having a wider infrared burner, it allows you to cook longer pieces of meat (like pork loin) on the rotisserie, giving you a consistent direct heat from one end of the meat to the other.
Lynx offers a first class standard warranty on their professional grills. The stainless steel body, ceramic burners, rotisserie infrared burner and Trident infrared burners are warranted for life, and most other grill parts are warranted for five years.
Things to Consider:
While the one-of-a-kind ceramic main burners will last longer and both retain and radiate heat better than their steel counterparts, they are far more delicate and should be handled very carefully when changing out burners or moving the flame tamers.
You'll Like This Grill If:
You appreciate the top of the line in luxury, performance, innovation, and drop-dead good looks.
