Remember Me
Hi all,
Everything is in the title: we wish you an excellent year 2015 and the belated v1.6 was finally released.
More info on the forum.
- iarwain
Sausage just added two very useful tutorials about commands and timeline. They can be found here:
- Commands
- TimeLines
Those complements nicely the information already available on the orx-dev group:
- Commands and TimeLines (basic)
- Using immediate commands in config files
- Discussion on future commands/timeline improvements
First, as you've noticed, the website never went down and there was no follow up from my host. So I guess so far, so good. ;)
Yesterday, I finally finished the iOS version of asynchronous resources handling (texture/sound) and merged the "thread" branch (which I have been using for over 10 months for my own projects now) into the "default" one.
That means a few things:
- orx now support asynchronous resource accesses.
You'll notice that saving a screenshot or loading textures and sounds won't block the main thread anymore, which used to result in the rendering being paused for a short duration. The immediate side effect is that there might be a slight delay when playing a sound for the first time or a white rectangle being displayed while a texture is getting loaded (though that temporary texture can be redefined at will if you'd rather have, say, a transparent temporary texture). In most cases you won't notice those, especially in release builds. However if that becomes an issue, one can easily pre-load assets with a simple loop and even render a progress bar as the engine execution won't be stopped while loading anymore. Config files are still load/saved asynchronously.
Lastly, if you were handling your own resources manually, you can either have synchronous calls or asynchronous ones by simply passing a callback to the read/write function: no callbacks -> synchronous, callbacks -> asynchronous.
- orx supports multithreading and exposes a unified API to create, pause, delete, enable, ... threads as well as semaphores for synchronization primitives. There's also a memory barrier macro available for those of you that would need it. Only a full blown read/write one has been added for now. There's no unified thread local storage support yet due to the annoying lack of standard around the __thread() keyword.
- profiler markers are correctly handled over multiple threads. And so is the profiler in-game display. By default, page up and page down allows one to display info about other threads.
- orx does have more than one thread running. Resources calls are all done in their own thread, same for sound streaming and lastly a generic purpose worker thread is available for tasks created with orxThread_RunTask(). I should probably add a tutorial on this function at some point as it has some interesting properties regarding sequencing (and helps removing the need for explicit synchronization primitives).
- most important of all: orx's API is *NOT* thread safe, for the most part. So if you were to use the aforementioned orxThread_RunTask(), make sure your tasks are not calling any orx functions. So far the only module that has a thread safe API if the orxThread one itself. orxProfiler is also mostly thread-safe. But that's about it. So please don't do any orxConfig_* calls in an asynchronous task. I'll add thread safety later on when I've settled on a good performance/safety compromise.
In addition to all this, another important news about the "default" branch is that the MinGW32 version now uses gcc 4.8.1: I've retired the good ol' gcc 4.6.2.
I should be releasing orx 1.6 officially shortly, unless any big issue is uncovered. Don't hesitate if you have any questions! :)
I've been warned 2 days ago that my host is going to do a forced migration from Joomla 1.5 (which this website is currently using) to Joomla 2.5 sometimes during next week.
I spent a few hours today in order to try to do a preventive migration myself. In the process I tried different conversion scripts, even trying commercial solution trials (like cms2cms), to different targets: Joomla 2.5, Joomla 3.2, Drupal 7 and WordPress 3.8.
Unfortunately I could only get the static pages and the news articles converted, at best.
What this means is that the new website would be missing it's current theme, logo, screenshot section, private messages, and most important of all, its forum.
It's unlikely I'll be spending much time to patch the site itself after the forced migration. I might even have to take it down it it's really bad and put up a very basic static page with links to all the external resources (doxygen, wiki, orx-dev google group, bitbucket & sourceforge).
That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to having a brand new minimalist site made on a fresh new base, as long as there's some way to consult old forum posts (the amount of knowledge stored in them is very valuable).
If anyone with some web development knowledge would like to help with either the migration process or with starting a new site, please contact me (@orxproject on twitter might be the fastest way).
If you have any suggestions or comments, don't hesitate to share, anything can help!
Thanks all! =)
Happy new year to all of you! =)
I took this opportunity to push orx 1.5 today. Not many new things since 1.5rc0 beside a few small fixes and additions.
That being said, 1.6 is probably coming out early 2014 with quite a major change: multi-threading support and asynchronous tasks & resources.
That means orx will load & save all sound and image resources asynchronously, out of the box, however that behavior will be entirely controllable.
Users will also be able to create their own threads and execute asynchronous tasks. Those are powerful but advanced features and will probably not be recommended for everyone: be careful though as most of orx's API itself isn't thread-safe, such as the config system.
Anyway we'll get other occasions to talk more about this. ;)

Hi friends, yesterday I saw a magic show on a street show where the performer swallowed some sharp shaving blade. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Is it really possible? What are the special effects they used to do this type of fantasy? But if it is real then how the magician make it possible? Any helpful reference would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Methadone Treatment Programs
Methadone doses are given to people that are addicted to heroin and other opioids as a method of treatment called "Harm Reduction Treatment" Methadone is a long lasting synthetic opiate that does prevent symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. It is important to note that methadone itself is an addictive opiate narcotic that is dispensed primarily at outpatient clinics. Although some people do show improvement through methadone maintenance, many continue to use addictive drugs and perpetuate negative behaviors and consequences associated with the illicit use of heroin and other opiates which includes: intravenous drug use, risk of drug overdose, spreading infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, and drug related crime. It is true that some methadone maintenence programs have shown to reduce the "harm" associated with opiate addiction however this does not constitute a full recovery. Full drug addiction recovery is achieved by attending a comprehensive drug treatment program that focuses on complete abstinence rather than partial harm reduction or drug substitution. A methadone treatment program would not be a logical initial option but may be considered as a final option or last resort as methadone itself is a very powerful and addictive drug.

We can chalk up the national time crunch, in part, to living in a stunningly fast-paced society, a place dedicated to the prevailing ethos of "do more, faster." We can't change this reality -- at least not single-handedly, or overnight. But even in the context of these constraints, say experts, we still have the power to take back our time.
It starts by coming to terms with a few indisputable facts: There are 24 hours in a day, we're human beings (not machines), and we can't do everything. For many of us, time feels tight simply because we're trying to wedge too much into it. "That is the paradox," says the late renowned meditation teacher Eknath Easwaran in his book "Take Your Time: Finding Balance in a Hurried World." "We hurry faster and faster only to find we have less and less time." We routinely aim to knock off a mile-long to-do list in a day, and then stay up past midnight squeezing in a workout, reorganizing the linen closet, and marinating the chicken for tomorrow's dinner with friends.
The mind-set needed to sustain this manic activity is infectious. When we're caught up in "efficient mode," anything not on the agenda comes to feel like a guilty pleasure. Watching the autumn leaves fall rather than cleaning the gutters seems unproductive somehow. Rocking back and forth on a porch swing instead of paying the bills feels lazy. In valuing everything by whether it would appear on a to-do list, what we crave (and need) most falls by the wayside.
Taking back time, then, requires reflection, first and foremost. How does the pace of your life make you feel? Happy? Or exhausted and unsatisfied? If the answer is the latter, then perhaps a reevaluation of choices is in order. You'll always have responsibilities. But beyond the necessities, what can you eliminate? What can you cancel, postpone, or simplify? In the space you create by eliminating one stress-inducing social engagement here and an expendable chore somewhere else, you'll begin to find your "set point" -- that place of work-life balance where you feel you're getting things done and enjoying deliciously slow and "inefficient" activity. Once you glimpse this state of balance, you may find you become fiercely protective of it. You start measuring everything not by whether you can "check it off " but by how it affects your set point -- and if it brings joy.
For some time experts, consumerism is the elephant in the room as far as the time discussion goes -- and it's the best place for a big-picture shift to begin. Keeping up with the Joneses only makes our time crunch worse -- even if we're reluctant to admit it. No matter where we find ourselves on the economic spectrum, the more we consume -- iPods, clothes, furniture, cars -- the more money we need to earn; the more we need to earn, the more time we must spend working. We do it to fit in, to be accepted, to feel like we're "doing well." Beyond these reasons, though, there's the simple (though short-lived) thrill of material acquisition.
There's good news to be found in the conspicuous consumption, though. Our deeper desires often shine through. "So often, people aspire to buy large-ticket items that symbolize what they really want in their life, which is time," says Nancy Parkes, professor of environmental studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. "'I'll buy a nice boat,' they'll say, 'and then we'll spend more time together as a family riding around in it. We'll all bond.'" The same thinking often inspires the second homes and cars that seat eight: I'm just one big purchase away from finally having what I need to connect with family and friends. The problem, says Parkes, is the boat payments turn out to be huge, and the boat gets used very little because we're too busy working to pay for it.
The solution? Again, awareness. Do we really need to spend our vacation at a five-star Caribbean resort, for instance, or can we spend some quality time closer to home?
In many ways, "slow" doesn't have a good reputation these days; it sounds slovenly, unmotivated. Doing less and taking your time will feel like swimming against the tide. To make the going easier, connect with others on the same path. Plenty of people in your life probably share your sense of time pressure, so don't hesitate to initiate the conversation: Ask your book-group friends or your walking partners how they manage their time -- and freely share your own triumphs and frustrations.

The CBO projects that [ObamaCare] will reduce the supply of labor, not the availability of jobs. There's a big difference. In fact, it suggests that aggregate demand for labor (that is, the number of jobs) will increase, not decrease; but that many workers or would-be workers will be prompted by the ACA to leave the labor force, many of them voluntarily.
As economist Dean Baker points out, this is, in fact, a beneficial effect of the law, and a sign that it will achieve an important goal. It helps "older workers with serious health conditions who are working now because this is the only way to get health insurance. And (one for the family-values crowd) many young mothers who return to work earlier than they would like because they need health insurance. This is a huge plus."
Oh my God, say opponents of the ACA, here is the government encouraging sloth! That's true only if you wish to take away the choices the law gives that 64-year-old or to those parents looking for more time to care for their children. Many on the right love family values until they are taken seriously enough to involve giving parents/workers more control over their lives.
And it's sometimes an economic benefit when some share of the labor force reduces hours or stops working altogether. At a time of elevated unemployment, others will take their place. The CBO was careful to underscore — the CBO is always careful — that "if some people seek to work less, other applicants will be readily available to fill those positions and the overall effect on employment will be muted."
What the truth might be, and what few politicians would dare say, is there might simply be some value in lower economic growth…
Initially, says one expert, there will be benefits in the fact that there is plenty of slack in the labor market. The combination of many unemployed Americans and many people finding jobs just to get insurance means that if a few people cut back their hours, there will be more hours for the people who want them. In and of itself, that theoretically means people will be much happier, says Ken Jacobs, chair of the Labor Center at the University of California-Berkeley, though that effect would dissipate as the job market improves.
"GDP growth isn't a good in and of itself," he says. "The question here is what's going to create the most happiness for the greatest numbers of people. Being in a situation where people have to work full time or 40 hours a week at a job that may not be the best match for them because that is the only way to get health insurance is not the way you create the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people."
Already, based on the work of Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg, there is evidence that much of the recent drop in the labor participation rate down to 1970s-levels is being driven by the availability — and the potential abuse — of welfare programs that disincentivize work…
I can't say I blame some people for making this choice. And many are, given the parabolic growth we've seen in the number of people collecting disability and food stamp benefits over the last few years.
According to a presentation by Gary Alexander, Pennsylvania's secretary of public welfare, a single mom is better off earning a gross income of $29,000 and applying for welfare benefits (including children's health insurance, child care and housing subsidies) that would give her a total of $57,327. If she worked hard and earned a gross income of $69,000, her after-tax take home pay will be just $57,045.
Why then, would she take that extra shift at work or apply for a promotion? Especially since these numbers don't account for the additional health care subsidies available under ObamaCare.
Here is how I would frame the issue: There are specific classes of people who plainly benefit, in fairly uncomplicated ways, from benefits that provide an incentive to work less, or leave a job outright. The obvious examples are the ones that liberals keep invoking: Parents of young children (for whom the family-friendly tax overhaul that conservative reformers like to tout would presumably have a similar effect), and people with a disability or chronic medical condition that makes work a simple misery.
But there also lots of people who emphatically do not benefit from being given an incentive to either detach from the workforce or (if they're already unemployed or underemployed) remain detached rather than taking a lower-paying job. And given the current economic landscape, especially — in which persistently high unemployment coexists with a growing population of workers too discouraged to even look for work — the size and scope of a work-discouraging effect matters a great deal: The bigger the effect, the more likely that the people dropping out aren't just, say, parents cutting hours to spend more time at home while the other spouse works full time, but people we should want to be attached to the workforce, for their own long-term good and the good of the economy as well.
Which is why it's appropriate that the new C.B.O. projection of 2 million to 2.5 million job-equivalents disappearing has inspired more disquiet and debate than the old projection of 500,000-900,000 … because it's a sign, however provisional, that the costs of Obamacare's workforce effects might exceed the benefits. I don't see liberals reckoning seriously with that possibility, and I think they really should.
In 2024, spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Obamacare health insurance exchange subsidies will absorb two-thirds of the $4.9 trillion in revenue the CBO expects the federal government to collect. Add in the rest of mandatory spending and interest payments on the debt, and 96 percent of tax revenues will already be spoken for before Congress allocates money to pay for defense, veteran's benefits, education, transportation, the court system, international affairs and other budget items…
In short, the CBO is portraying a future in which a smaller proportion of workers in a relatively weaker economy will be expected to subsidize an increasing number of government beneficiaries. And Obamacare is making matters even worse.
With one hand, according to the CBO, Obamacare will spend $2 trillion over the next decade on expanding Medicaid and subsidizing individuals to purchase health insurance. With the other hand, its subsidies will discourage the economic equivalent of 2.5 million individuals from working.
House minority leader Nancy Pelosi says the CBO report vindicates Obamacare, because "this was one of the goals: to give people life, a healthy life, liberty to pursue their happiness. And that liberty is to not be job-locked, but to follow their passion." Pelosi is particularly invested in this view. She's been mocked for years now for her repeated claims that Obamacare is an entrepreneurial bill because it would let Americans quit their jobs to, among other things, "write poetry."…
[A]ccording to the CBO, not every lost hour of work is the amateur poet's gain. Yes, Obamacare lets people keep their health insurance even if they quit their jobs to master iambic pentameter. But the law also raises the implicit marginal tax on people looking for work; the more you earn, the fewer subsides you get. Thus, for many people, the costs of taking on more or better work will exceed the gains. So at least some people won't feel liberated so much as trapped…
Hopefully voters will look for ways to liberate these Democrats from the curse of job-lock come November.
The larger betrayal, Mr. Mulligan argues, is that the same economists now praising the great shrinking workforce used to claim that ObamaCare would expand the labor market.
He points to a 2011 letter organized by Harvard's David Cutler and the University of Chicago's Harold Pollack, signed by dozens of left-leaning economists including Nobel laureates, stating "our strong conclusion" that ObamaCare will strengthen the economy and create 250,000 to 400,000 jobs annually. (Mr. Cutler has since qualified and walked back some of his claims.)
"Why didn't they say, no, we didn't mean the labor market's going to get bigger. We mean it's going to get smaller in a good way," Mr. Mulligan wonders. "I'm unhappy with that, to be honest, as an American, as an economist. Those kind of conclusions are tarnishing the field of economics, which is a great, maybe the greatest, field. They're sure not making it look good by doing stuff like that."
Every man and woman sitting idle because there is no work to be had — or because idleness literally pays better — is a potential poultry farmer gathering no eggs, somebody who could be growing roses or baking bread or proofreading romance novels. Say's Law — that we produce in order to consume — is not a mere economic abstraction, and scarcity is not the product of economists' imagination. They are features of the real world — they are physical facts. Every barrier that politicians put in the way of dealing with scarcity through free exchange and the division of labor — every tax, rule, and regulation — not only separates a worker from a paycheck but, more important, separates a worker from work, from the process of production and experimentation that enables us to, among other things, eat, and live in houses, and read J. K. Rowling books to our children.
Pope Francis is right to worry about the economics of "exclusion," but he is wrong — and destructively wrong — about the instruments of that exclusion. The diversity of human interests, human desires, and human abilities is in effect infinite, and so too, therefore, are the uses of labor and opportunities for employment. Surely there are many paths to a "right livelihood" waiting to be discovered. And yet there sits official Washington, along with its supramarginal gyrus in the media, trying to figure out how to "create jobs" like an ape doing one of those monochromatic jigsaw puzzles with half the pieces missing, desperately working at "manipulating the world in order to get what we want from it," forcing together pieces that do not fit.
And that is the perverse price of politics: that there are so few jobs to be had when there is so much work to be done.
Work is a virtue that should be reflexively encouraged. It is the means by which standards of living are grown, human potential is reached, individual lives are focused, positive and negative instincts are channeled, resources are utilized most efficiently, and, above all, by which dignity remains intact. It is the best antidote to personal and national ossification and sclerosis, and the primary means by which our present material comfort was achieved. It is the driving force behind improvement, both real and imagined, in the nation's mainstream culture. Whatever the ideal role of government in contriving work or wages for those who are without them, we should all presumably be able to agree that if we are going to have an intrusive state, it should be doing precisely the opposite of encouraging people to limit their involvement in work.. (Prudence dictates that I couch this asseveration with a disclaimer: No, I do not consider it the role of government to force people to work against their will, nor to support them if they choose not to. But that is a decidedly different question from whether it should do more to enable them not to work.)…
Progressives who are scratching their heads and asking themselves why conservatives who are "pro-business" and who have long wished to decouple health insurance and employment aren't thrilled at recent developments might do well to heed their own advice. "George W. Bush," Barry Switzer one quipped, "was born on third base and thought he hit a triple." The implication of the joke: How you get somewhere matters. They are right, and so, herewith let it be resolved: Being forced to buy products is not the same thing as choosing to; leaving work because Uncle Sam is helping you out on the side is not the same thing as electing to leave without assistance; and winning the fruits of success without the hard work that has traditionally served as a prerequisite is no victory at all. We deserve government that recognizes these truths. Will we get it? Time will tell.
DOMENECH: I think the real question Chris for you is, how many jobs are too many jobs? How few jobs are too few jobs. Its one of these situations where I think, in terms of the evaluation that the American people are going to make for themselves, my own perspective is, I'd rather have that family working more hours, because it's going to increase their income over the course of time. It's going to lead to better outcomes for their family. The perspective on the other side is, well, they're working fewer hours, but they're going to have health insurance, they're going to have Obamacare there for them. And I think that that's a question of what kind of economy do you want? Do you want one where people are working more hours for themselves and their families? Or do you want one where some people are going to be working more hours to pay for the subsidies, and some people are going to be working fewer hours but they'll have health care?

Making a great portrait doesn't necessarily require expensive gear. Take for example one of the most famous portraits of all time, Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl, shot for the cover of National Geographic in 1985 using only a 35mm camera and natural light. It's not the tools themselves that do the job, but rather the mind creating with them. In this illuminating Crash Course we'll help you to observe, visualize and control natural light, demonstrating how light and shadow, as well as different focal lengths, affect the dimensions of the human face. You'll get valuable practice photographing people and learn to put subjects at ease. Make vivid portraits a part of your everyday.
Who should take this class?
Anyone who wants to learn how to make surprisingly awesome portraits quickly, easily and without a lot of fancy equipment.
What to bring?
Your digital camera and additional lenses if you have them.

The Forgotten Americans
by James Panero
A review of "The New Spirit: American Art in the Armory Show, 1913" at the Montclair Art Museum, Through June 16, 2013
February 17 might just as well be the Fourth of July for modern art in America. On that date in 1913, the first 4,000 viewers walked through the doors of the "International Exhibition of Modern Art," the groundbreaking event we remember simply as the "Armory Show." Housed in the drill hall of the 69th Regiment Armory on New York's Lexington Avenue, the exhibition of some 1,200 works introduced 100,000 visitors to the modern art of Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky and Duchamp during its month-long run before traveling on, in increasingly compact versions, to Chicago (where it drew even bigger crowds) and Boston.
For a generation of American artists and collectors, the Armory Show had a profound effect. On the streets and in the popular press, it inspired a full-throated debate over modern art. Even Theodore Roosevelt published his own review. "No single event, before or since, has had such an influence on American art," wrote the Whitney Museum director Lloyd Goodrich at the time of its 50th anniversary.
One of the few photographs that exists of the 1913 Armory Show's installation in the Lexington Avenue armory.
Yet what gets overlooked in this story of European modernism on the Hudson is that two-thirds of the art at the Armory was by Americans. "The New Spirit: American Art in the Armory Show, 1913" at the Montclair Art Museum, is the first exhibit to focus on those works.
Organized by the Montclair's chief curator, Gail Stavitsky, and the scholar Laurette McCarthy, "The New Spirit" brings together 40 of the 800-plus American paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints that were on view during the Armory Show's original New York run. (A much smaller selection of American art made it to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1913, and the Americans were dropped entirely from the Armory Show's final stop at Copley Hall in Boston.)
The Armory Show was the creation of a society of independent American artists looking for a place to exhibit outside of the art academies. For most of them, the show was meant to be an exhibition displaying the wide range of American modern art of the time, from the realism of the Ashcan School to the experiments of the Stieglitz-circle painters.
Oscar Bluemner, William Glackens, Marsden Hartley, Robert Henri, John Marin, Maurice Prendergast, Charles Sheeler and John Sloan were all in the Armory Show, and their contributions are now brought back together in Montclair.
The European component of the Armory Show, first planned on a smaller scale, became the juggernaut we remember today due to three American artists—Arthur B. Davies, Walt Kuhn and Walter Pach—who took charge of the European selection. Through a whirlwind tour of Germany, France and England, they assembled the eye-popping run of European masters that certainly overshadowed and most would say outdid the larger American section. Their show-within-a-show started with Ingres and went through Cézanne, Gauguin, and van Gogh, on up to work plucked directly from the studios of Redon, Brancusi and Duchamp. "Nude Descending a Staircase," Duchamp's Futurist-style 1912 painting now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, became the Armory's biggest sensation and was most famously described as an "explosion in a shingle factory."
Montclair is on something of a revisionist mission. It wants not only to remember the Armory's American artists but also to "challenge the long-held view that the American art in the Armory Show was somewhat monolithic, pallidly provincial, and overshadowed by the uproar of critical and popular attention paid to the avant-garde Europeans."
It is true that the America of 1913 was not nearly the cultural backwater the Armory's "timeworn legend," as Ms. Stavitsky puts it, has led us to believe. The Armory Show itself, after all, was the vision of American artists. Some American modernists at the time, like Hartley, were directly engaged with Europe's progressive artistic circles (although, at the Armory, Davies unfortunately chose not to display Hartley's more abstract paintings). In the years leading up to 1913, Americans also had several chances to be exposed to art's latest innovations. Alfred Stieglitz's 291 gallery mounted the first American exhibitions of Brancusi, Cézanne, Matisse, Picabia, Picasso and Rousseau.
But the Montclair's interesting exhibit will only uphold the long-held verdict that the Armory's "American annex," in Kuhn's own words, was overall "a sad affair." Despite a handful of adventurous examples, "The New Spirit" reveals that the American section at the Armory Show was saddled with outmoded Impressionist-style work, such as "Fairy Stories (Fairy Tales)" (1912) by Elmer MacRae and "Hillside" (1912) by Gustave Cimiotti, that would send anyone running for the Duchamps. Faced with these examples, it is hard not to see the Armory Show as anything but that "masochistic reception whereat the naïve hosts are trampled and stomped by the European guests at the buffet," as the American modernist Stuart Davis, then an Ashcan artist, recalled years later.
The Montclair catalog suggests several reasons why the Americans were a disappointment. While Davies, Kuhn and Pach could select the best of Europe, the sprawling American selection, which enjoyed less curatorial control and was mired in artist politics, became a "melée of antagonistic examples," according to Bluemner. Many pioneering American modernists were left off the Armory list altogether, including A.S. Baylinson, Jerome Blum, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, B.J.O. Nordfeldt and Max Weber.
For its part, "The New Spirit" does not necessarily show the Armory's Americans at their best. Albert Pinkham Ryder and Morton Schamberg, much talked about in 1913, are absent, as is Kuhn's important contribution called "Morning," while several lesser works have been unearthed that should have remained buried. The curators' choice to decorate the room with garlands, recalling the original show, further gives the display an archaeological feel.
At the same time, "The New Spirit" also shows that several American artists were working through important new ideas in 1913. The moody riverscape by Van Dearing Perrine and the crystalline abstraction by Manierre Dawson are among the surprises here. These examples and others explain how, even if the Europeans won the day, American modernists would soon supplant them. "America in the spirit of its newness," predicted Kuhn, "is destined to be the coming center." The Armory Show made that possible.

The 2-month-old girl hospitalized after authorities say her father mixed bleach in her baby formula was expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday, a Department of Children and Families spokesperson said.
OCALA – The 2-month-old girl hospitalized after authorities say her father mixed bleach in her baby formula was expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday, a Department of Children and Families spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, a judge has ruled the father, Carron Washington, cannot to have any contact with baby Kaelynn.
Full custody was awarded to the mother during a hearing Tuesday at the Marion County Judicial Center, said Carrie Hoeppner, the DCF spokeswoman.
Washington, 20, is in the Marion County Jail on a charge of domestic aggravated child abuse with bail set at $25,000. Hoeppner said he will get a chance to present his side through the courts.
The petition was filed on behalf of the agency, Hoeppner said. DCF officials have had no contact with the child.
The baby was expected to be released Tuesday from Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Hoeppner said. At first, the infant was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center for treatment and then transferred to Shands for further evaluation.
Washington admitted feeding Kaelynn bleach in an effort to help her breathe easier.
In a brief interview at the jail Monday, he said, "It's probably the dumbest decision I've made in my life." He professed his love for his daughter and said he hoped he would be able to see her again soon.
"If I can love anyone as God loves us, that's pretty much how much I love her," he said. "I'll do whatever I have to do to see her."
He said his daughter has suffered from breathing problems since her birth on Dec. 14. She was born with her esophagus detached from her stomach, which required surgery.
Washington, who said he's a "pre-med" student at the College of Central Florida, said he would never intentionally hurt his daughter and only added less than a capful of bleach to about two ounces of her formula because a classmate from school told him she used the remedy with her child.
Therese Roberts, Kaelynn's mother, was upset when Washington told her he gave their daughter bleach.
"The last time I talked to her was that night, before I got arrested," he said. "I told her I did it. She was emotional about it."
Washington and Roberts live separately at Sutton Place Apartments in the 500 block of Northeast 23rd Circle. Washington was staying at Roberts' apartment to help care for their baby.
Between Saturday night and Sunday morning, Kaelynn was fussy, and, after awakening at 1 a.m. Sunday, Washington put bleach in the bottle and fed the child some of the formula, according to Ocala police.
Kaelynn vomited some of the liquid and began crying.
"I panicked. I immediately called 911, called my parents, called her parents and started crying," Washington said.

Minecraft guy and Captain Viridian of VVVVVV are known to be two of three playable characters exclusive to Super Meat Boy's upcoming PC version. Team Meat teased the third today; looks like the guest star's game name rhymes with Shmachinarium.
There are three more characters to be revealed, and Team Meat dropped these hints: "One of them sticks, one of them dashes, one of them changes form and one of them isn't organic."
As far as things we know that we know, a title update has been sent to Microsoft for approval "and should be up by the 21st (we hope)," saith Team Meat. "This update will fix all known bugs, erase all 0.0 times from the leaderboards and come with a totally new music track by Danny called Dr Fetus's Castle. But the biggest addition to the update will be the 1st new set of 20 internets levels."
That first new level is "The Sewers of Dross", and in it, you'll be using Gish only to navigate 20 levels "that ramp in difficulty from medium to soul crushing". That means they adjust in difficulty from "very hard" to "Eli Eli lama sabachthani".
Super Update! [Team Meat]

If you do, I hope you're not a Yankee fan like me. Because the cracks are starting to show.
Coming apart at the seams is the new stadium, which isn't a very extended metaphor if you choose to look at it that way.
You could view it as nothing more than cracks in the stadiums ramps, which were built by a company with mob ties that is under investigation for using substandard materials.
Or you could view it in the larger picture of a franchise in nominal command of a series, but with the omnipresent concept of choking clouding the fanbase's anticipation.
Game 6 is tonight. The Yankees win, and this worry is all for naught, and our World Series is set. But should the Angels pull it out, we've got a game 7 tomorrow with Lackey vs. Sabathia. So basically: don't call me tonight. I'll be busy having a nervous breakdown.
Cracks Emerge in Ramps at New Yankee Stadium [NY Times]
I'm sure you'll want to check in tomorrow. Could be some interesting odds and sods to deal with.

Interpol issues global security alert
The alert comes a day after the U.S. issued a global travel warning to Americans about a possible al-Qaeda attack.
Interpol has issued a global security alert calling for increased vigilance for terrorist activity after suspected al-Qaeda involvement in prison escapes including those in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan.
The international police organization says prison breakouts have occurred in nine Interpol member countries in the past month alone and requests the agency's 190 member countries' assistance to figure out whether such events are linked, the group said in a statement on its website Saturday.
Interpol's alert comes a day after the State Department issued a global travel alert because of an al-Qaeda terrorist threat, saying the potential for terrorism is particularly strong in the Middle East and North Africa. That travel alert goes through Aug. 31.
The United States issued a global travel alert Friday, citing an al-Qaeda threat that also caused the State Department to close 21 embassies and consulates this weekend in the Muslim world. (Aug. 3) AP
The U.S. also announced this week that it would close more than a dozen embassies and consulates throughout the Muslim world on Sunday, and possible longer.
The full statement from Interpol's alert reads:
Following a series of prison escapes across nine INTERPOL member countries in the past month alone, including in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, the INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters has issued a global security alert advising increased vigilance.
With suspected Al Qaeda involvement in several of the breakouts which led to the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals, the INTERPOL alert requests the Organization's 190 member countries' assistance in order to determine whether any of these recent events are coordinated or linked.
INTERPOL is asking its member countries to closely follow and swiftly process any information linked to these events and the escaped prisoners. They are also requested to alert the relevant member country and INTERPOL General Secretariat headquarters if any escaped terrorist is located or intelligence developed which could help prevent another terrorist attack.
Staff at INTERPOL's 24-hour Command and Coordination Centre and other specialized units are also prioritizing all information and intelligence in relation to the breakouts or terrorist plots in order to immediately inform relevant member countries of any updates.
August is the anniversary of violent terrorist incidents in Mumbai, India and Gluboky, Russia as well as in Jakarta, Indonesia. This week also marks the 15th anniversary of the US Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in which more than 200 mostly African citizens were killed and 4,000 others injured.
In recent years, terrorist attacks focusing on diplomatic facilities in Afghanistan, Greece, India, Kenya, Libya, Pakistan, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tanzania, Turkey and Yemen have also resulted in hundreds of casualties of all nationalities.
The US State Department has also issued a global travel alert in response to credible intelligence suggesting that Al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks between now and 31 August, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. In addition to the US authorities announcing the one-day closure of more than 20 diplomatic missions on Sunday 4 August, the UK Foreign Office has also confirmed the closure of the British embassy in Yemen on 4 and 5 August.

Waste management is handled on the Island within the guidelines of conservation in the area and our lease requirements with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
Our waste water/grey water is treated in our new AdvanTex Waste Water Treatment Plant and the treated water is used for irrigation of the airstrip. A MEDLI study has been carried out to ensure our waste water system complies with current best practice.
Guests are encouraged to sort rubbish during their stay on the island eg. Food, plastic, paper, aluminium and class. All rubbish is sorted into glass, aluminium, tin cans and general refuse and returned to the mainland for recycling where possible. The island has a strict policy to recycle and reuse products, as per the Environmental Management System. We have also ceased the sale of plastic water bottles on the Island to reduce waste and encourage our guests to use reusable bottles.
Current recyclable waste is removed by barge on our three monthly scheduled, 18 hour trip from Gladstone. All other rubbish/waste is removed on these regular barges and taken to a waste facility in Gladstone - no solid material burials. Food waste/refuse is currently composted in a pit system and management is currently investigating several alternative best practice methods.
All waste oil from the kitchen and machinery is collected in 200 litre drums and returned to the mainland. Resort management is currently investigating recycling cooking oil into biodiesel fuel. Petroleum based oil wastes are removed to approved facilities on the mainland. Green waste is recycled into the guano layer via composting/woodchipping. We have also purchased a glass oppressor which converts all glass bottles into sand which can be sent back to the mainland.

Diorama of a scene from a slave auction from the former Transatlantic Slavery gallery at Merseyside Maritime Museum
On reaching the Americas the crew of slave ships prepared the Africans for sale. They washed, shaved and rubbed them with palm oil to disguise sores and wounds caused by conditions on board. The captains usually sold their captives directly to planters or specialised wholesalers by auction. Families who had managed to stay together were now often broken up. Bonds formed during the voyage were also broken.
Immediately owners and their overseers sought to obliterate the identities of their newly acquired slaves, to break their wills and sever any bonds with the past. They forced Africans to adapt to new working and living conditions, to learn a new language and adopt new customs. They called this process 'seasoning' and it could last two or three years.
For Africans, weakened by the trauma of the voyage, the brutality of this process was overwhelming. Many died or committed suicide. Others resisted and were punished. The rest found ways of appearing to conform which still preserved their dignity.
Listen to audio clips or read transcripts of two very different accounts of slave auctions by former slave Olaudah Equiano and plantation owner Thomas Thistlewood.

Personal Tarot - Reading for Yourself
This class is designed for serious tarot students who want to develop their tarot skills. Self-reading is the best way to learn to understand the cards. It is also an important practice for personal and spiritual growth.
Christiana's virtual classroom is accessible using your computer or your telephone.

You will be able to use self-reading to enhance your tarot studies. Christiana will help you explore specific techniques for self-reading that will help you derive all the information you need.
1. Understanding Self-Reading
Self-reading is an important part of tarot study and personal growth. There are many myths and misconceptions about self-reading. The truth is, a reader must be able to self-read in order to develop a relationship with the cards, and a sense of self-understanding.
2. Personal Cards
Using numerology, astrology and our understanding of the cards, we can discover cards that have special personal meaning to us. These cards help us to understand who we are, and what are specific challenges are. When they come up in readings, they offer special insight and information.
3. Tarot Rituals
Tarot students must develop personal tarot practices that aid in study and development. These practices, such as journaling, give us a foundation for our tarot journey.
4. Tarot Dialogue
When we read for ourselves, we can use the cards to actually converse with our Higher Self, or our spirit guides. This process involves asking questions and pulling cards in a dialogue format.
5. Interpretations in Self-Reading
In self-reading, understanding the spiritual lessons of the cards is particularly important. It is also important to see the many possible interpretations of each card, and understand that many interpretations could apply simultaneously. A good way to hone predictive skills is to keep track of your predictions for yourself, along with the actual outcomes.

Prescription Medications
In severe cases of celiac disease, corticosteroids are used to help control intestinal inflammation.
- Prednisone
- Apo-prednisone
Prednisone is given to control inflammation of the intestinal lining in severe cases of celiac disease. This medication can be given in tablet or liquid form. It is best taken at the same time (or times) each day. It should be taken with liquid or food to lessen stomach upset.
Possible side effects over the short-term include:
- Poor wound healing
- Indigestion, nausea, or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Appetite gain or loss
- Weight gain
Possible side effects of long-term use include:
- Slowing of growth in children
- Acne
- Glaucoma

If you experience any of these side effects, contact your doctor. It is important to keep taking the medications until you talk to your doctor.
In addition, these drugs can cause more serious medical problems, including immunosuppression and peptic ulcer disease (if you are also taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
People with severe or long-standing celiac disease may need medically supervised replacement of vitamins and minerals until their intestines recover sufficiently to absorb these nutrients. Depending on each person's specific deficiencies, doctors may prescribe the following types of supplements:
- Ferrous sulfate (iron)
- Folic acid (folate)
- Calcium
- Standard multivitamins, especially containing vitamins A, B-12, D, E, and K
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Do not share your prescription medication.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills as needed.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Skiing star Lindsey Vonn has revealed to People magazine that she struggled with depression, and was prescribed an antidepressant to treat the condition.
In the latest issue of the magazine, the 28-year-old Vonn says that in 2008, "I couldn't get out of bed. I felt hopeless, empty, like a zombie. I couldn't even cry any more."
Her then-husband, Thomas Vonn, encouraged Lindsey to seek treatment and she went to see a doctor. She describes in the interview how it seemed her life was perfect but "behind the scenes, it was a struggle."
Vonn told the magazine that she's happier these days. "All the parts of my life are finally in sync," she said. "I accept who I am, and I'm moving forward."
Her spokesman, Lewis Kay, told The Associated Press on Friday that Vonn had no further comment on her struggle with depression.
She was not available after her bid for a fifth straight victory in speed events at World Cup competition ended Friday with a crash in Val d'Isere, France.
Last month, the four-time overall World Cup champion had an intestinal illness that landed her in the hospital in Vail, Colo.
Vonn told the AP recently that she plans to make another plea to the International Ski Federation to compete in a men's downhill race next season. Her request to compete against the men this year was rejected by FIS in November.

VARDAGEN Oven dish, oval, off-white, 12x9 "
Designing for the tastes of people around the world
In Swedish, VARDAGEN means "every day", which is just how the cooking and eating products with that name are meant to be used, no matter where you live. The series is specifically designed to cater to the international trend toward transculturalism—a big word that basically means global eating and cooking habits are a lot more similar than you might think.
"Consumers have access to cultural diversity in cooking and eating from all over the world," explains Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom, who works with the team that creates IKEA's cooking and eating products. "They want to taste the best of all cultures." People are adventurous too, with 69% saying they like to let their taste buds travel, trying new and different cuisines. "Which means that it's not only in Asia that we need to have eating products for sushi," Ina says.
Creating products for all our differences (and similarities)
Transculturalism is about figuring out how to make differences into similarities too—a trick VARDAGEN does without anyone even noticing. How? The collection is designed so single products work in multiple ways. Take the egg cup for example. It's a staple on many European breakfast tables, but it can be something else too. "We did the egg cup in a shape that it's more like a very small dip bowl," explains Ina. "So it's also for Asian eating, you know this small bowl where you put your chili paste and other condiments." The small VARDAGEN bowl is another example of transcultural design. It's the right size and shape to be the all-important rice bowl for Asian markets, and it's just right to be used as a side-salad or cereal bowl in other parts of the world.
Answering the global demand for durability
"We haven't done anything like it before," says Ina. "It's huge." VARDAGEN is the biggest collection of traditional cooking and eating essentials IKEA has ever released. And thanks to the versatility of the products, the series is uniquely suited to the global market—catering to the needs of eaters living from Hong Kong to New York and everywhere in between. One thing people all over the world seem to agree on is the importance of durability. "We know from all the studies and research we do that people don't want to buy and throw away things, they want to buy something that lasts," says Ina. "So, we chose to work with honest and durable materials that are long-lasting." VARDAGEN is made from durable and sustainable materials, like glass, porcelain and stainless steel. That means, just like the name VARDAGEN suggests, they'll be useful every day for many days to come.

Maybe it has been mentioned before, but there is no link back to the homepage where I can access the Build it yourself pages (which I use a lot, thanks!) and the POV pages. The Beesource banner at the top links to the forums homepage.
Thanks for the forum.
There is a link to the home page. Look in the footer. I'll also change the link from the logo.
Regards, Barry
Could you change the default settings for the profiles. I have white text on a very light gray for some things and it is close to impossible to see... and yes, my glasses are new.
Trying to think inside the box...
Bump. I miss Ispy's constant updating!
Barry, while your at it can you figure out the last digit of Pi? Thank You.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
I'm very happy with the new look. Good job, there's more functionality.
...One thing, for your list. The colors on the profile pages are still off, white text with very light purple background.
Yeah, that one is testing my patience! I've looked high and low for that font color setting and it eludes me. Eventually I'll win!
Regards, Barry
Not so fast Omie . . . . . 'e'

When a member has a long user name the "last post" button is not there...
Are others experiencing this as well?
Trying to think inside the box...
It seems to have to do with wrapping of the text. It appears to be hidden behind text below it. I see it on my iPhone. I haven't had a problem on my 1920x1080 computer monitor.
Looks like the iSpy feature is working from the Beesource home page now. The link is "view latest posts" in the body text.

Well done, looks good.
