There are aspects of Oxygen which are perhaps too specific to mimic
which are a core part of the way I teach with it. One example is the
Oxygen project file; to be able to create a package which includes
templates, validation and transformation without the user having to set
these up is really helpful and convenient.

A piece of software which is completely free for ever will normally be
managed differently from one which has a license on an enterprise
network; in the case of the latter, a license server may have to be
involved, there will be limits on the number of stations on which it can
be installed at one time, there will be an expiry date for the license
which needs to be tracked, and so on. This is my experience, anyway.

If all that changes is the actual cost, then that's certainly helpful
for many situations, but it would leave significant barriers in place in
my own case.

Things have been going pretty well so far with my #OnePenOneDay project. I have made it through several days in a monogamous relationship with my writing utensil of choice, despite the difficulties. I will say that this cannot be an every single day of the year project though - there are just some days where it is not feasible. But on the days that I consider "project days" I am 100% committed to that pen, and that pen only, for the entire day.
Here are some of the pens I have revisited so far:
Pentel Tradio EnerGel Combo Pen -- I liked this pen a lot the first time around (links go to the original reviews), but the cap not staying posted is still an issue. It is hard to beat the EnerGel ink from a performance perspective, but if I am picking up an EnerGel right now it is the Euro Needle.
Uni-Ball Jetstream Sport 0.5mm Blue -- Still one of my all-time favorites. Nice, clean barrel design, great grip, and an 0.5mm tip with performance to die for. Many people believe this pen is too scratchy, but for me, it is almost perfect.
Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.3mm Black (with Grip) -- This is the one pen that I can't get enough of for note taking purposes. The line is super-fine and I love how my handwriting turns out on the page. Yes, there are sometimes startup issues when you first get writing, but one it starts up it is one of the best pens around. (In writing this, I now realize I have never reviewed this exact pen. I'll correct that soon.)
Copic Drawing Pen F02 -- I have no idea what is going on with this pen, but it is frustrating me. I was worried about it from the get go since it had been months since I used it. The ink started flowing well enough right out the gate, and for the few hours following. After that, performance was all over the place, leaving me to wonder if the ink had dried up on the inside.
Sharpie Pen -- A classic pen on top of a classic book. The Sharpie Pen is one of my all time favorites for sure. I always enjoy writing with it, and despite the new barrel styles and colors being introduced, the black ink original is still the best.
Well, that is it for this first round of #OnePenOneDay. I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions for this project, and I'll also take requests for pens you would like me to run through the gauntlet once more. Just let me know below.

Digital Microscopes
A digital microscope is a variation of a traditional optical microscope that uses optics and a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera to output a digital image to a monitor, sometimes by means of software running on a computer.
Our MS4 digital microscopes differ from traditional stereo microscopes in that there is no provision to observe the sample directly through an eyepiece. Since the optical image is projected directly on the CCD camera, the entire system is designed for the monitor image. The optics for the human eye is omitted.
Our MUS4 digital metallurgical microscopes offer 1280x800 HD Screen, 4MP to 12MP digital camera and shoots up to 1080p/30fps HD video.

Parkside's Triangle is a mathematical pattern that generates a triangle of numbers given two variables, the size and the seed. The size variable, N, must meet the following condition: 1
The number N represents the rows of the triangle. If N = 5, then there are 5 rows making up the triangle. The first row of the triangle can have no blank number within it. All positions must contain a number greater than or equal to 1. The other variable is the seed, S, which represents the first number in the first row of the triangle. The seed must meet the following conditions: 1
When the size and seed variables are known, this particular pattern is produced. An example would look like this:
Size = 4 Seed = 1
Size = 5 Seed = 3
The pattern of numbers to create the triangle counts beginning at the left of the bottom row and then moves right and down. Each time the next row is added, all the numbers count from the first row downward. In both directions, Parkside's Triangle will contain the same number of rows.
Many computer programming classes in languages such as C use an example program to create this pattern for any given size and seed. The program will read in the size and the seed and output the correct pattern of numbers. This is accomplished using loop logic and basic arithmetic along with programming skills and can be used to present the fundamentals of loop logic.
Other than the specified size and seed conditions to begin creating the pattern, there are no other limits to Parkside's Triangle. In any iteration, it will have no more than 20 rows and a beginning number no higher than 9. As shown in the example triangle above, there are also no zeroes.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

So, Zach and I have been working on an updated version of The Public Radio, and I figure we're about due for a manufacturing update. So! Here goes:
This is the same progressive stamping die I've shown here, but with some small changes. The locations and diameters of our main assembly screws have changed, and as a result the tool needed to be modified.
The cool thing about progressive stamping is that you have multiple stations - in this case five - to work with. As seen above, the stations go right to left. Initially the screw holes were punched in station one (far right), but now they're being done in station two. Making this change just requires removing four punches and then adding four new ones + corresponding holes; the old holes are simply left unused.
We've got a few other updates coming up, including visits to a few factories and a new assembly/tuning management process. Stay tuned :)

[Review] Django Unchained
Seeing as how I'm a huge fan of Westerns, Leonardo DiCaprio and Quentin Tarantino, it would be easy to see why I should, on paper, have loved Django Unchained. However, there are many things that work on paper and refuse all forms of coherence when brought kicking and screaming into life, although I'm still not sure whether Django is one of them.
Django Unchained tells the story of Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave freed by Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) who is inducted into a life of bounty hunting in the years preceding the American Civil War. Schultz is concerned with killing bad guys and being paid for the bodies (so one wonders what he would make of the Reservoir Dogs) while Django wants to track down his wife. Schultz decides to help him because a) he granted Django his freedom and feels responsible for him, and b) Django's wife is called Broomhilda, and it brings to mind the German myth of Siegfried and Brunhilde, and being a German himself, Schultz feels he must lend his aid. As far as character motivations go, Tarantino is stretching that one a bit far.
It turns out that Broomhilda has been bought by Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), a fairly oily plantation owner in Mississippi, with a penchant for Mandingo fighting among his slaves. Schultz and Django hatch a plan to get her back, although I won't sport with your intelligence as to what might happen next.
Much has been made of the almost constant use of the 'n' word, and while commentators seem divided over whether or not it's appropriate for a white filmmaker to throw it around with such abandon, I think it matters not that it was a word in common usage at the time – no one needs to hear it that often. A lot has also been made of the racist overtones of the film – is it a white apology for slavery, as Tarantino states? Is it a racial slur against the slaves themselves? Or is it racist against white people? Considering the number of 'classic' Westerns that portray the Native Americans as conscience-less monsters, I'm hesitant to offer an answer since racism has existed at the heart of the Western for years. That's not to say it's right – just that Tarantino isn't the first, and I doubt he'll be that last. I don't think I'm qualified to get into such weighty debates but I think it does prove a distraction in the film.
Another of my problems with the film is the characterisation. DiCaprio steals the film as Candie, but Samuel L. Jackson is just utterly incoherent as Candie's slave, Stevens. Schultz is a marvellous character with some interesting little quirks, including introducing his horse along with himself, and I found myself warming to him far more than Django himself. It doesn't help that I've never enjoyed any of Foxx's performances, but in places his Django seems more like a cartoon character. I want my heroes to have flaws, but Django had so many flaws that I felt I was rooting for him purely because of what he'd been through. I want to root for my characters because they're likeable, even if they're total anti-heroes. I don't want to root for them because I feel I have to. If I'm honest, I wasn't even rooting for Django – more Broomhilda. Django feels too one-dimensional – the fact he turns out to be a crack shot with about five minutes of practice was another problem.
Beyond that, the music is spot-on, the costumes are wonderful and the sets feel almost painfully authentic. There are even lighter moments where Tarantino varies the tone – a particular segment featuring a prototype Ku Klux Klan ridicules the group most effectively, and several almost comic lines make me hope that Tarantino turns his hand to some form of comedy for his next outing. The potential for an amazing film is definitely there but as far as I can tell, that's all it is – potential.
Yes, Django Unchained is violent and yes, it's incredibly long (FAR too long, in my opinion) but I also thought that about some of Tarantino's earlier films, and this is my ultimate dilemma. I disliked Death Proof when I first saw it, but after watching it again, I considered it to be a masterpiece. Therefore there exists the possibility that I might watch Django Unchained again and enjoy it in a way that I didn't the first time.
So for now, I give it 3/5…but it may improve over time.

Ayurveda Consultation
Ayurveda means knowledge of life. It is thousands of years old, offering hundreds of generations of proven wisdom. This health care system considers human health care to be "gardening". You are the most important gardener.
(1) The first step in gardening is to learn about how the five great elements affect gardens:
(space+air) are responsible for all movement for an organism
(fire+water) are responsible for all transformation within an organism
(water+earth) are responsible for all structure + lubrication
(2) The second step in gardening is to learn what kind of seed I am, as different body/mind types need to be gardened differently. Not all humans are the same type, and no treatment/diet is for everyone. In Ayurveda we always ask, "for whom and when?".
(3) The third step in gardening is to identify the climatic forces and circumstances that are influencing my garden. Climate, season, age, diet, lifestyle, home situation all play significant roles in this.
(4) The fourth step in gardening is to design a realistic gardening daily work plan that takes into account:
what kind of creature am I?
how have I become out of balance?
what will I realistically have time to do?
An ayurveda consultation is truly holistic:
physical body - diet, lifestyle, herbs, massage techniques, cleanses, exercise, yoga postures, specific to your age, body type and condition
energetic body - sleep schedule, breathing techniques, menstrual care - specific to your age, body type and condition
emotional/relational body - identifying the limiting patterns in relationship life, learning a communication technology for changing you
intellectual body - identifying life guiding philosophy that aligns with your belief structure, committing to a plan to align yourself with that through a healthy daily routine
spiritual body - learn how to claim space in your home, life, and community for meaningful connection to God - as you understand God. We excel at translating the esoteric into simple and practical.
Ayurveda Health Consultations are done by Skype-Facetime-Phone
Email our Ayurvedic practitioner here: Pierre Couvillion (email link) or call the school at 317-405-8248 and leave your preferred contact method.
After you schedule your consult, please complete our health history form.

Dan Marino-Can Good Guys Cheat
By M. GARY NEUMAN
Statistics vary but it's assumed that 50% of men cheat. In my own study of over 400 women, 39% admitted to physically cheating on their husbands. Why is cheating so rampant.
1. We crave emotional connection. In my study, only 7% of cheating men said they were after the sex as compared to 48% who reported it was the desire for emotional connection that drove the impropriety. 88% of cheaters said the mistress was not better looking or in better shape than their wives. It is just not as simple as wanting sex. Most cheating occurs after he's formed some close friendship with the woman with whom he will eventually cheat. When men feel emotionally disconnected at home, too many make the horrifying choice to find it somewhere else instead of working to reconnect with their wives. often they too are surprised at how their emotional friendship turned into some deeper and physical when that was not their original intention when they began the friendship.
2. We don't protect our marriages. Chemistry is powerful and people are deeply searching for companionship and love. When a couple is not actively engaged in nurturing their marital love, they risk danger. Not that cheating is ever justified; it is an ugly choice, but the similar desire to be actively in love has driven us to marry and sadly, can drive many to look outside their marriage for that love as well. It is why men must be careful not to even allow close friendships to form with other women. They might say it's fair game but we need to be developing closer connections in our home, not away from it. If you have found yourself enjoying another woman's friendship, you need to consider things like: when have I laughed, had a great discussion, had a fun time, had a great meal out… with my wife like that? Typically, it's been too long and it's time to bring that energy home and work to renew your loving connection.
3. The world of sports and movies create a recipe for cheating. The lives of these powerful men take them away from their spouses for weeks and months at a time. These men are idolized and offered adoration by women at every stop. These men have handlers that support the belief that they are great and loved by everyone. They begin to believe that they can do anything and all will approve. These combinations create fertile ground for broken marriages.
The answers to protecting your marriage from cheating lie in making your marriage successful. Keep in mind what it takes to be successful in every other part of life: time, focus and loving work. Our marriages need the same ingredients and if we feel our love is faltering, that is the time to go to our spouse and discuss how to fix it. It might seem easier at the moment to start a relationship elsewhere but no cheater has ever told me he's happy it happened. Every cheater regrets it. He might have been divorced in any case, but he never feels good about what he did to his family when he chose to cheat. Even a Dan Marino can do so much good and cheat. But until he worked as hard on his marriage as he did on being a great quarterback and dad, he risked his loving home. Our marriages are to be cherished and if we aren't reminded now and then why we love our spouse and why we married them, it's time to work harder like every other part of life that we wish to never let go of.

Thank you to all of our clients to have taken the time to send us kind reviews via letter, email, Facebook, Yelp, and Google!
Timothy and staff are world class. They make a trip to Madison well worth the mini vacation! A bonus is that I always leave the salon looking fantastic!!!
— Marne
Let Tim know he is a genius!!!
— Melisa
"I have finally found the one! "The Timothy Pamment Salon"! I have natural black hair and have been getting my hair colored blonde for years.
In the past I have been to various salons however I was never 100% satisfied with the results but that changed when I visited the Timothy Pamment Salon. I was 101% happy with my hair and just so glad to have found this place. My overall experience was excellent! As soon as I walked in the salon, I received such a warm welcoming from the team. I loved the energy and ambiance of the salon. Although it is a tad pricey it's worth every penny! I recommend this place highly to everyone not just for their professional & talented skills but outstanding service and energy!"
Amazing quality! I've been coming here for cut and color for almost two years after moving up from New York City. Recently had my wedding hair along with the bridal party done here, so amazingly happy with those results. Melissa did the most beautiful braided up-do that was just slightly messy, the way I like it, and the bridesmaids got beachy blowouts. Despite 100% humidity and running from a freak rain cloud, our hair looked fabulous all night! Melissa also regularly cuts and styles my hair. She is so fun to work with and she can tame my extremely thick long wavy hair quickly. I can usually get 4 days out of her blowouts and the shape lasts nicely.
Couldn't be happier that I found this salon in my new hometown!
I just have to add to this wonderful long list of accolades for the Timothy Pamment Salon. The salon is truly a step above the rest without exception! Everyone is so friendly and talented and it shows the minute you walk through the doors.
Tim does my color and cuts my hair and it is just perfect each and every time. It is like opening a Christmas present each time I am having my hair blown out. It is a thrill at the end.The man is The Hair God!
— Melissa
"As a long time client and ardent fan of the Timothy Pamment Salon, I confess to being seriously spoiled. This is a salon that outshines all the others. Not just by a hair but by an entire head of hair. In fact, it is rare in my experience to find this much talent, passion and professionalism in one chic and elegantly designed space. At the front desk, Michelle and her colleagues always manage to be efficient, welcoming and unfailingly accommodating. This level of excellence applies to the entire staff: the helpful and enthusiastic assistants and the marvelous stylists whose work I often admire. Then there is the incomparable Terri, whose identity I hesitate to disclose lest she become so busy I will have to book my appointments two years in advance. Terri is an uncommonly gifted stylist and colorist who dedicates herself to her clients. Because of her, I can still call myself a brunette and no one is the wiser. On so many bad hair days, when it seemed all hope was lost, Terri restored my spirits along with my hair. I can honestly say that as a refugee of more disappointing salons than I care to count, Timothy Pamment is a sanctuary. I cannot recommend it enough."
Everyone is wonderful here. I love it! Great find in Madison. Will be back soon.

I LOVE THIS SALON! I have been going here for years. Everything about this place is great. It's immaculate. The Owner is awesome. The colorists and hair stylists are all fantastic. The blow outs are gorgeous. It is a very professional environment and they are all up on the latest trends. The make up artist is excellent and only uses the best products. They are, by far, the best salon on the shoreline.

I've been going to Tim's salon for as long as it's been open and have been very happy with my experiences there. The staff is attentive, professional, and lovely. Katie cuts my hair, but all the girls are great (you too Tim). They have been extremely kind and warm and have bent over backwards to accommodate me.
Thanks Tim and Donna !!!!!
— William
Amazing! Don't hesitate just book your appointment. Jamie does my color and I've had Melissa and Tyler cut and blow out my hair. I've only been to the salon twice thus far but I won't be going anywhere else ever again. The service is consistent and the employees are professional and very pleasant. If you want to feel good when you leave, I highly recommend this salon.
— Taryn
Although I have not been in the salon personally, I buy skincare from Timothy Pamment. Every time I call I speak with a friendly and knowledgeable representative. Michelle is awesome! Speedy service and I always get exactly what I ordered!
— Irina
Timothy has always given me absolutely stellar haircuts. And, he has always had a great, personable staff. Highly recommended.
— Kathy
The [wedding] day worked out so perfectly! Please thank the girls for getting up early and working SO hard. The best part may have been when Tim went out to the garden to pic the Lily of the Valley for my hair.
What a day! Please thank everyone from the very bottom of my heart.
— Leah
I followed my favorite stylist to this salon. After my first visit I was hooked. This place is not your average salon, it's an interactive experience. I could literally spend an entire day there. The staff is a true expression of what team work is suppose to be!
— Sharon
The staff at the Timothy Pamment Salon are the best of the best. The staff is well educated on products and the newest styles. I have been going for years, recently I had Tyler do an ombre on my hair and I get compliments on it at least once a week still! I highly recommend the Timothy Pamment Salon.
— Ashley
I went to this salon a few weeks ago to get highlights for the first time. Tyler did an amazing job on both balayage and a cut. It is everything I wanted, and the color looks so natural. My hair was warm toned and brassy and she helped advise me to pick a cooler shade to compliment my skin tone more. It was a wonderful experience! I've gotten so many compliments and will definitely be coming back for touch ups.

First Gastric Balloon Procedures Performed In San Antonio
Drs. Keith Wright and Gerardo Carcamo performed San Antonio's first gastric balloon procedures at the True Results outpatient surgery center. The Orbera procedure consists of placing a silicone balloon in the stomach under direct visualization with an endoscope, and filling it with saline. The patient is discharged home quickly without any surgical incisions. The balloon provides a sense of fullness, allowing the patient to more easily maintain their diet and lose weight. It is removed six months later during another non-invasive procedure. South Texas Surgeons are excited to offer this new procedure, which is a non-surgical and reversible alternative to more invasive weight loss procedures. The FDA has approved the Orbera balloon for patients with a BMI of 30-40, some of whom may not qualify for the gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery. Call us at 210-220-1726 to learn more and to schedule a consultation.


text: One of the challenges that we embrace is designing infill projects is making the most of the constraints of a particular project. At 140 Glenora we were faced with a typical challenge, crafting unique and engaging spaces on a narrow lot. Our solution for this project was to create an inner courtyard along the side yard about halfway through the depth of the floor plate. Creating this courtyard effectively took a bite out of the floor plate, but in so doing it created an opportunity to add windows, allowing the entire floor to be bathed in daylight. This also created a stunning place for a feature stair, which climbs along a wall of windows and offers a view into the courtyard.

Sam drove back to the condo. Janet removed five manilla envelopes from her purse and placed them on the table, and sat down. She was clearly upset. "I'm going to make coffee before we open those envelopes. Would you like a cup? Sam nodded yes. "I feel like I am betraying Ben. He will be so upset when he comes home".
"I am sure he will understand Janet. You are his wife and you have a right to know his whereabouts. This might save his life".
"I know but it's almost like admitting he's gone".
"It also might help me find him". Janet poured the coffee and gave Sam a cup. She took one of the envelopes and opened it. There were several passports all with different names in them but all contained Ben's photo. She showed them to Sam. "What does this mean"? She asked Sam.
"It means you were right, Ben does work for the government, in what capacity remains to be seen". Janet opened another one. It was Janets and Bens marriage license, and a birth certificate for Janets baby with her name and the baby's name as Maria Martinez. Father unknown. A copy of another birth certificate with the name Olivia Cole mother and David Cole Father child Samantha Cole. Janet started to shake and cry. "What is it"? Sam asked. She handed the document to Sam without saying a word.
The two men from the NOC that had left the coffee shop were waiting just inside the doors of the Lufthansa terminal when the cars pulled up. One man started walking toward the gate for Bens and Peters flight, the other stayed close to the doors. Ben and Sami got out of the car and walked over to the car in front of them to get Peter. The back door opened and Peter got out and so did Jahmir. Ben asked Sami what was going on. They were suppose to wait in their car until Sami came back with the combination for both suitcases, after him and Peter were safely on the flight. Jahmir told Sami he was going with them and would wait just outside customs. Sami and Jahmir went back and forth almost getting into an argument but Jahmir finally got back in the car and the three men headed toward the airline doors. Once inside they headed to the customs area showed their tickets and passports and passed through with no issues. Then the man who was standing by the doors walked up to Sami handed him a passport and a ticket and both men passed through customs with Ben and Peter. Ben was about to say something but Peter looked at him and shook his head no. Ben and Peter started walking toward the gate their flight was ready for boarding.
Jahmir told Kasim he thought it was taking too long and he was going into the terminal. Kasim said to him it might be a trap and told Malid to go look in Sami's car and see if he left the key in the ignition. Malid got out and walked over to Sami's car and saw the key and returned. Jahmir told Kasim to look in the trunk of Sami's car and see if the other suitcase was there. Kasim took the key from the ignition and checked the trunk, the suitcase was there. He told Jahmir and was told to get back in the car and follow them. Kasim asked how were they suppose to open the suitcases without the combinations. Jahmir told him they would drive to the camp and blow the locks off. Kasim got into Sami's car and both cars drove out of the airport. Jahmir laughed and told Malid now they had another car to use as well as the money, they both laughed.
Ben, Peter, Sami and the two NOC agents all boarded the plane without issue. Once in the air Sami introduced himself to Ben and Peter. His name was Gary Samuels the other two men were Ron Hall and Joe Black all were NOC agents. Ben and Peter thanked them and ordered a round of drinks. "It was worth the money", he said. Joe Black replied; "The money was counterfeit and both suitcases have C4 inside the linings. "Those ass holes probably found the other suitcase and took off and will blow the locks and themselves along with it. Ben smiled and the men toasted a job well done. They were on their way home. Once they landed in Germany Ben would call Janet and tell her he was fine and would be home in a day or two. When he got home he would tell her he was retiring from the NOC as was Peter.
Joe was right the three men drove into camp carrying the two suitcases with shouts of joy and laughter. They took the suitcases into the main tent and Jahmir wanted to take the first shot and he did.
Janet and Sam looked over all the other documents. The one that interested Sam was the one from Bens attorney stating the legal adoption of Janets baby girl to the Coles. Now it was Sams turn to start crying. Everything matched her birth, the date, the hospital her parents names there were even photos of the Coles with Samantha. Janet was crying Sam was crying they couldn't believe what she was seeing. If the documents were legitimate then Janet was her mother. Sam wanted a DNA test done and so did Janet.

Secretary for Development Paul Chan recently dropped a bombshell by forecasting that as many as 85,000 private residential flats will be available for sale in the next three to four years.
That implies property prices are headed for a tumble.
That number is not the same as the controversial "85000 policy" proposed by former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa in 1997.
But its impact is no less terrifying — the figure reminds us of the bursting of the housing bubble in the late 1990s.
The Hong Kong property market has three similarities with the market situation in 1997. There are as many main differences.
The first similarity is that property prices today are as unreasonably high as they were then.
In January, Demographia released a survey which showed Hong Kong property prices are the least affordable in the the world, with median housing prices up to 17 times the median family income.
That compares with 8.5 times in London and 6.1 times in New York.
The second similarity is that the government is aware of skyrocketing property prices and has taken action to intervene, just as its 1997 predecessor did.
Thirdly, our economy is sluggish. Some say it's a slower version of the 1997 recession.
However, there are three major differences between now and 1997.
Firstly, the "85000 policy" was about churning out 85,000 units each year, of which 60 percent would be public housing.
The figure cited by Chan refers to private housing units which will be released over three to four years.
There will be about 44,000 new private and public flats on the market annually over the next few years, half the number under Tung's "85000 policy".
That means the risk of a slump in home prices remains low in the short run.
Secondly, the Hong Kong population has increased by 700,000 since 1997 and gross domestic product has almost doubled since then, so has demand for housing.
It's clear that even though there might be 85,000 residential units in the next three to four years, these are not enough to meet demand.
Finally, the government is far more vigilant and a lot more experienced in dealing with housing bubbles than the Tung administration.
The latter was caught off guard by the crisis, prompting it to adopt tough measures to curb speculation such a Buyers' Stamp Duty.
Moreover, the housing affordability ratio remains at just 54 percent, far lower than the 93 percent in 1997.
These suggest that housing is unlikely to burst at least in the short to medium term.
If it does, we are more prepared than we were in 1997.

In silence she walks with the classmates blending through the halls, always seen but never heard at Lamant's Middle School.
Soberly she makes a sharp left turn into her next classroom just as the bell rings loudly through the hall.
She climbs into her small desk and listens to the interactions of other students as their teacher ask that everyone get quiet and get seatlled.
"Okay students, starting from the back of the row would each of you pass your homework forward?"
Lexi draws a big breathe while wishing as she always does that she could crawl into her invisable box, untouched and not seen by any others.
While looking down at her folder opened in front of her, a tap from behind on her shoulder and the sound of scuffling papers caught her in her day wish.
Reaching her arm up and while actually not looking up she quickly takes the papers and passes them forward hoping no one would notice that she never paused for adding her paper to the collection.
Miss Worthing gather's the small piles of papers from her students sitting in the front desk of each row. "Today class, we will be reading silently to ourselves chapters 7 and 8 and tonight's assignment is to write a paragraph about what these two chapters are about."
The room is quiet with only a occasional cough and Lexi stares at the open pages in front her while resting her head on her hand.
She can only focus on the ache in her belly from the clouds in her mind from the lack of sleep the night before.
The words below look a blur to her and she can faintly hear a humming noise coming from her ears as the clock's hands move slowly one minute at a time.
Startled by the loud lunch bell Lexi jerks back in her desk from her quiet place.
The loud chatter from her classmates as they begin standing and walking towards the classroom door with a familiar excitement awakens Lexi.
Miss Worthing separates Lexi from the other students by placing her hand on her shoulder.
Lexi stops and watches as the class has coupled off and disappeared down the halls.Trying not to cry, holding back all emotion she stands motionless and clearly visable before Miss Worthing.
"Lexi, I want to help you" softly speaking asks Miss Worthing as she bends trying to position herself face to face with such a small and fragile child. " You can talk to me, please honey won't you tell me what is troubling you?"
Looking up, raising her head she hears the visceral voices from the shadows of her box scream interrupting the moment ...." Don't you say a word! Not a single word! No one must know! You act like everyone else and don't you draw any attention to yourself or we will have to move again...you hear me!"
Head down with her chin resting on her chest and shoulders bent forward the little girl crys,"I am not Lexi, my name is Hannah ... I miss my mommy." she whispers. "They said mommy died and my daddy doesn't want me and my hair isn't really brown...my name is Hannah Marie Morgan, not Lexi Price! I want to go home."

Anne of Green Gables by Joseph Robinette
Green Gables is the home of lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister, Marilla. They agree to adopt a boy to help with the farm work. Imagine their consternation when Anne Shirley, a girl in her teens, is sent by the orphanage by mistake! Anne touches Matthew's heart with her vivid imagination and her charitable viewpoint, but it takes time to reach the tender heart beneath Marilla's hard exterior. Then there is young Josie Pye, a lad named Moody Spurgeon and Matthew, Anne's kindred spirit. This lovely classic is very simple to present and full of warmth and wit.

Thanks to Malcom Daniel, Curator of Photography MFA, H , he writes. "Here is Laxmi, goddess of wealth and good fortune. Staged with painstakingly executed sets, props, costumes, and direction, the images hover between the traditional art they reference and something wholly inventive, between constructed fiction and straight photography, and between sincere spiritual expression and colorfully alluring kitsch.
New York Times, Arts
In each of these dozen pictorial tête-à-têtes, two artists share images — scores, sometimes hundreds — and the occasional brief video. They tap moments of beauty or strangeness; of everyday life or travel; of buildings, streets and weather. We see flashes of wit, poetry and even genius and observe momentous events, both private and presidential. Everywhere puzzles are set in motion for us to contemplate and parse, making our own meaning. - Roberta Smith
The conversation between the photographers Manjari Sharma and Irina Rozovsky is an intimate exchange about becoming a mother. The approximately 120 pictures of the two women are like a long, free association chain. Sometimes a woman grasps a form or an object from the image of the others and converts them in their own way - a vase, a smeared windshield, the interior of a car during a ride.

"Whereas the camera once functioned chiefly as a tool for preserving the past, today people share their visual experience in real time and with unprecedented intimacy," reads the exhibition's introductory wall text. "Photography has become a fluid, instantaneous, ephemeral medium, closer to speaking than to writing."

MET show in "the Verge"
The effect is a stream of consciousness filled with visual puns and images that sometimes speak to each other or disagree. Some photos convey a certain ghoulishness as seen by a woman's portrait with the face omitted by the camera flash by photographer Manjari Sharma. "Sometimes, we're agreeing and echoing and sometimes we're coming apart," photographer Irina Rozovsky described her digital conversation with Manjari Sharma to The Verge. Both Sharma and Rozovsky happened to be pregnant during the commission period, so a lot of their photos engaged that subject matter. Read more on this article Here

So the Democrats have thrown a stumbling block in the confirmation of President Bush's re-election in Congress today, on the grounds that they are "protect[ing] the integrity of the true will of the people." This is the same reasoning given by Democrats in North Carolina who are getting a do-over on the race for their state's Agriculture Commissioner.
How then, do we explain the shattering stillness of any Democrat-supported cry for a new election in the Washington state governor's race, where Democrat Christine Gregoire picked up a lead of just 130 votes in the third (hand) recount when the results from King County (Seattle and suburbs) were finally tabulated? Stefan Sharkansky and the other bloggers at SoundPolitics.Com have done a fantastic job documenting the, er, irregularities that occurred in the November 2, 2004 election in Washington... like the fact that convicted felons cast votes (here and here), hundreds of provisional votes were improperly counted without verification that the voter was eligible and registered to vote, a large number of military absentee voters (who tend to overwhelmingly vote Republican) didn't receive their absentee ballots until after the election, and dead people voted (here and here and here). The Democrats, of course, think that everything is just peachy. And why not? The Democratic candidate is finally in the lead (after three recounts! Time to stop counting!).
What does it all add up to? Turns out that, in King County alone (Seattle and suburbs, and heavily Democratic), there are several thousand more votes than there are voters who showed up or returned absentee ballots... and almost 8,500 extra votes statewide! Where did the extra votes come from? Why didn't they show up in the two mechanical recounts, only to surface in the hand recount (the one most open to vote fraud)? Why are there more votes than people who cast votes on November 2?
If the Democrats can get excited enough over 300-some odd measly votes that don't put a dent in an 118,000-vote lead in Ohio to throw a monkey wrench in the Electoral College confirmation process, if they can demand (and get) a re-vote because of one malfunctioning voting machine that may or may not have made a difference in North Carolina, why aren't they getting worked up over numerous verified accounts of vote fraud and errors, and a discrepancy between the number of votes cast and the number of voters who cast them that is almost two orders of magnitude greater than the winner's margin of victory?
Because... if a Democrat wins an election then there can't be any fraud, just the will of the people don't you know. If a Republican wins, well, then we know it just had to be stolen. After all, what right-thinking person would vote for a Republican?

The Rink
February 2008
The Rink is a musical with lyrics by Fred Ebb, and music by John Kander (the team that wrote Chicago and Cabaret) and a book by Terence McNally (Ragtime, Kiss of the Spider Woman)
The tenth Kander and Ebb collaboration, it focuses on Anna (originally played by Chita Rivera), the owner of a dilapidated roller skating rink on the boardwalk of a decaying seaside resort, who has decided to sell it to developers. Complicating her plans are her prodigal daughter Angel (originally played by Liza Minelli), who returns to town seeking to reconnect with the people and places she long ago left behind. Through a series of flashbacks, revelations, and minimal forward-moving plot development, the two deal with their pasts in their attempt to reconcile and move on with their lives.
"A serious musical ... Terence McNally's book is lean and hard even in its sentimentality McNally uses a very fluid time warp for his story ... The Rink ... provides much pleasure as well as real emotion." New York Post "A family relations saga that can be both tough and sentimental ... The Rink looks back at the period culminating in the 1970s with a perspective touched with humor" The Christian Science Monitor "Since the music and lyrics were supplied by John Kander and Fred Ebb, who wrote Cabaret, it is not surprising that the score is stuffed with bouncy, melodic songs that echo the jagged rhythms of Kurt Weill and the jaunty aura of the fairground." London Evening Standard
This innovative musical is set in a Coney Island of the mind, on the ragged fringe of the New York show-biz world. Anna's roller rink is about to be demolished and with it Anna's sour memories of her husband and daughter. The rink becomes an extra arena in which mother and daughter examine their past, present and future.
All roles in the flashbacks, men and women, are played by the Wreckers.
