August 25th only
Arches and Rembrandt, leading fine art material manufacturers, present Against the Grain, a one-night art auction to raise grant funds for one Los Angeles-based student artist. With more than fifty participating artists, Against the Grain will feature works on paper that showcase diversified studio practices through a shared medium. Unlike any other charity arts auction, Against the Grain pioneers an artist community-based project in direct support of the next generation of emerging artists.
From the frenzied tableaus of Eddie Martinez to the illusory oils of Annie Lapin, the works donated to Against the Grain will have a humble starting bid of $100. Each participating artist will be provided with newly developed archival paper by Arches paper mill (France) that does not require gesso before painting with oil colors, a key advancement for the painting practice. Additionally, the artists will be given a selection of the finest quality Rembrandt oil colors from Dutch color maker, Royal Talens. Additional sponsorship of gift certificates and cash awards will be provided by local participating fine art stores, announced the night of the event. Local curatorial entity, 5790projects, and curator Amir H. Fallah will select one student artist from a surrounding university to award funds raised from the silent auction– a grant that can be used for studio practice, tuition, or supplies. A pool of student artists will be nominated by each participating university's Studio Art faculty, each of which will receive a studio visit from event producers 5790projects and Fallah in order to determine the prizewinner. The grant recipient will be announced at the close of the event on August 25th, 2012 at the sponsoring venue, Mark Moore Gallery (Culver City, CA).
The opening reception will also feature live DJ sets, food trucks, and beer tasting by Brouwerij West. Event tickets are $10 – and can be purchased on:

Male call: Where's the manly shopping?
Where the boys are... shopping
As the sun rises on Friday, November 28, a certain scenario– admittedly a rank stereotype and potentially sexist to boot– is likely to play out all over Charlottesville and Albemarle. Perhaps it is best expressed in traditional couplet form:
From her bed she arises, a glow in her eyes,
Dreams of socks, shirts, and sweaters in just the right size.
Beside her a man, for whom shopping is dread,
"Go without me," he pleads, "leave me here in the bed!"
Today is the peak shopping day of the year,
For her it brings pleasure, for him only fear!
But take heart, gentle man, today needn't be bad!
For intrepid souls, there is fun to be had!
We've scoured the city– the lows and the highs,
To find shopping places for all types of guys,
From nuts, bolts, and screws to top-dollar wax,
Browsing for gun parts, you'll surely relax.
So spring from that bed and head for the car
With wallet stuffed fullyou needn't go far.
Eyes all atwinkle and smile big and bright,
Tell your belov'd, "See you later tonight."
Specialty Fasteners of Charlottesville
Owner: Bill Pollard
Address: 137 Burgess Lane
Phone: 296-2360
Established: 1993
Hot product: big bolts
Oh my, here you are at Specialty Fasteners with your shopping list in your back pocket. What looks good?
Grommets, dowels, screws, hitches, nuts, bolts, lags, keys, locks, couplers, rivets, pins, spikes, washers, pegs, brads, and bits. What would she like? It's so hard to choose.
Well, the Dust Buster is broken, and she's been complaining about that. Hmmm. Maybe a fan belt will solve that problem and bring a smile to her face on Christmas morning.
And how about that bathroom towel rack hanging at 45 degrees? Wouldn't she be surprised if a little "elf "magically installed just the right screw to make her washcloth hang straight?
Plus, just think what your reward might be when she opens the tiny box and finds the exact washer to make that kitchen sink stop dripping. There's no telling what fun you could have on Christmas night after she opens gifts like these from Specialty Fasteners.

Hot product: racing seats
Okay, it's a splurge. After all, you can pick up a model car at Toys R Us for under $20. But it's not a GMP, that's for sure, and just think of the fun you and junior will have putting these babies together. So what if the model you have your heart set on is $600? Can you really put a price on father-son bonding?
At CDOC, a super high-end car parts and accessories shop, only the best is on display (they do most of their business through their website, cdoc.com). Those high-tech models start at a reasonable $45 and run up into the hundreds of dollars.
And now that you've settled on junior's present, what about Dad? His car was looking a little dull the other day. Why not pick him up a jar of Zyman car wax? They make all kinds, including some that are specific to types of cars Volvos and Saabs, to name a few (no Chrysler wax sorry, Pops). For the ultra-enthusiast or professional racer, there's a $2,000 jar. But it comes with free refills. And you did just get a gold card...
Georgetown Farm Market
Owner: Georgetown Farm/Edgar Bronfman Sr.
Address: 616 Albemarle Square
Phone: 978-4067
Established: 2002
Hot product: $800 bison rug
What could be manlier than meat? Your brother Don loves his grill more than his girl he'll be so stoked when he opens that 10-pound rib eye! (Note to self don't forget to wrap in plastic bag first.) Plus his fiancée, Louella, has been on the Atkins diet for six months two birds with one stone!
And talk about a gift to top them all! How 'bout a cup made out of buffalo testicles for your best friend Luther? (It's a special-order item.) Imagine his face when he tries to explain to Grandma what that little cup's made of ! But hey, he did say he wanted to have a ball on Christmas...
Harry A. Wright's
Owner: Alex Wright
Address: 1320 E. Market St.
Phone: 295-9191
Established: 1935
Hot product: engines
Uncle Wilbur's 1981 Datsun's blown another gasket, and he's majorly bummin'. What a surprise when you present him with the very part to get that ride running like new! Wright's on East Market Street is the place to go to get just about anything auto-related. True, the ambience is a little compromised since the wall-mounted squawk box is gone, its charming barks eclipsed by the hum of a boring computer that does nationwide searches for even the rarest tail light cover.
Shelves and shelves of car stereos line the walls right inside the door, and acres of salvaged autos out back will have your blood pumping harder than gas through a newly rebuilt V-8.
Owner: Kenny and Vicki Hale
Address: 1877 Seminole Trail
Phone: 974-1954
Established: 1987
Hot product: blue steel
Woodbrook Sports and Pro Shop
While your woman's out "gathering" goodies, you have the perfect opportunity to hunt out all things sportsmanlike. Step inside Woodbrook, and the very first thing you see is an audiotape titled "screaming juvenile cottontail." If that doesn't make you want to thump your chest, perhaps you'd like a four-tine frog gigger? Those are just a few aisles over.
The real piece de resistance here at Woodbrook, however, is the "blue steel," code for any of the guns, according to Vicki Hale, who co-owns the store with husband Kenny. Come to think of it, maybe mom would like some of that blue steel she's been having a little problem with a woodchuck in the back yard. Plus, when Dad travels, having that 30-06 Springfield leaning up against the nightstand will give her that extra little feeling of comfort.
And when dad's home, maybe you could... um, borrow it?
Charlottesville Livestock Market
Owner: John H. Falls family of Nelson County (according to a 1994 Daily Progress article) (No one returned our calls.)
Address: 801 Franklin St.
Phone: 295-4551
Established: 1946, according to that 1994 article
Hot product: Pre-pre-packaged meat!
Oh, no! You forgot little Jessie! How could you have overlooked the light of your life, that precious little baby girl?
Ever since she turned seven, she's been asking for a pet of her very own. But she's too special for an ornery dog or some mewling old cat. Jessie needs something to show all those other kids how special her daddy thinks she is.
Well, just imagine the expression on her face when you get her... a calf! Yes, a baby heifer that will not only win her heart with those big brown cow eyes, but will provide milk and... (shhh) maybe a porterhouse or t-bone a little later on.
Get on over to the Charlottesville Livestock Market's frequent Saturday auction fortunately for you, there's one nearly every Saturday morning. The next one's on December 12, which will still leave you plenty of time to figure out how in heck to get the wrapping paper around those hooves!
His shopping is done, and this man's filled with glee,
Heed his priceless advice the results you'll soon see.
If you choose gifts with care and don't pick out duds,
You'll have plenty of time meet your buds for some suds!

Pegfilgrastim is used to reduce the chance of infection in people who have certain types of cancer and are receiving chemotherapy medications that may decrease the number of neutrophils (a type of blood cell needed to fight infection). Pegfilgrastim is in a class of medications called colony stimulating factors. It works by helping the body make more neutrophils.
Pegfilgrastim comes as a solution (liquid) to inject subcutaneously (under the skin). It is usually given as a single dose for each chemotherapy cycle, no sooner than 24 hours after the last dose of chemotherapy of the cycle is given and more than 14 days before beginning the next chemotherapy cycle. Your doctor will tell you exactly when you should use pegfilgrastim.
Pegfilgrastim may be given to you by a nurse or other healthcare provider, or you may be told to inject the medication at home. If you will be injecting pegfilgrastim at home, follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use pegfilgrastim exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
If you will be injecting pegfilgrastim yourself, a healthcare provider will show you how to inject the medication. Be sure that you understand these directions. Ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions about where on your body you should inject pegfilgrastim, how to give the injection, or how to dispose of used needles and syringes after you inject the medication.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using pegfilgrastim,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
If you will be injecting pegfilgrastim at home, talk to your doctor about what you should do if you forget to inject the medication on schedule.
Pegfilgrastim may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Pegfilgrastim may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the carton it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store pegfilgrastim in the refrigerator but do not freeze it. If you accidentally freeze the medication, you may allow it to thaw in the refrigerator. However, if you freeze the same syringe of medication a second time, you should throw away that syringe. Pegfilgrastim may be kept at room temperature for up to 48 hours but should be kept away from direct sunlight. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your body's response to pegfilgrastim.
Before having a bone imaging study, tell your doctor and the technician that you are using pegfilgrastim. Pegfilgrastim may affect the results of this type of study.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.
Please be aware that this information is provided to supplement the care provided by your physician. It is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. CALL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider prior to starting any new treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Stefan Savides is "The Birdman." His life is simply about birds and art. He is one of the blessed few who have never worked a day that he was not recreating birds in one form or another. This multitalented artist, from a young age, has completely supported himself through his life with taxidermy, painting, carving, and sculpting of birds.
Stefan's early fascinations with the avian world lead him to learn taxidermy at the young age of twelve. He was a natural! By age sixteen he was instructing adults in a night school setting and went on to establish a thriving career in taxidermy by age eighteen. His passion and dedication gained him a respected international reputation in avian taxidermy.
"While it was my fifty plus years of avian taxidermy that fine-tuned my eye for bird anatomy, it was my art sense that compelled me to sculpt in a style that omitted the realistic detail, a factor which is paramount in a mounted bird. As I embarked on my sculpture career, I vowed neverto create "bronze taxidermy"!"
Sculpting in bronze is a natural progression for Stefan, as it is an avenue which provides him an opportunity to express his art and knowledge of avian anatomy. Fifty years of intense study of birds coupled with a flair for simplistic, elegant design equates to renderings that capture the essence of his subjects in tasteful clean works of art. His work is to the point, without the distraction of overbearing detail. He has made birds his life and his work simply speaks of it!

D-day has arrived: Later this month the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will turn its attention to the daunting task of not only crafting a fiduciary duty rule for brokers, but also reworking mutual fund distribution fees under Rule 12b-1. As SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said recently—the Commission will deal with these two issues "in tandem."
The House, too, still plans to hold hearings on the SEC's studies under Sections 913 (fiduciary duty) and 914 (self-regulatory organization) of Dodd-Frank before Congress's August recess. As Schapiro said recently, all three options put forth in the SEC's study to Congress—one or more SROs, extension of FINRA oversight over advisors, or imposing user fees to fund advisor exams—would require legislation to "move forward."
As the July deadline approaches, lobbying efforts have heated up in the past few months, with industry executives like Mark Casady, CEO of LPL Financial, publicly airing his views on what he sees as an "extremely uneven" regulatory playing field that favors advisors over brokers.
Even Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, shipped a letter to Schapiro urging the SEC not to put brokers under the Investment Advisers Act fiduciary standard. Frank told Schapiro that while Section 913 of Dodd-Frank gives the SEC the authority to establish a new fiduciary standard of care for broker-dealers, "the requirement that the new standard be 'no less stringent' …was not intended to encourage the SEC to impose the Investment Advisers Act standard on broker-dealers, but to ensure the new standard would not be a 'watered down' version of the investment advisors' fiduciary standard."
It was Frank who fought vigorously to have a fiduciary standard for brokers inserted into Dodd-Frank, so industry executives have been somewhat perplexed by his insistence that a newly crafted fiduciary standard "recognize and appropriately adapt to differences" between brokers and advisors. Despite his comment that the SEC should not "simply copy" the Investment Adviser Act standard for brokers, Kristina Fausti, director of legal and regulatory affairs for fi360, says that it is "notable" that Frank stated in his letter to Schapiro that "Congress wanted to ensure that a fiduciary standard for brokers would not be a 'watered down' standard."
In crafting a fiduciary standard for brokers, the SEC will have to grapple with a number "thorny provisions" in Dodd-Frank, says David Tittsworth, executive director of the Investment Adviser Association (IAA) in Washington. First, he says, Section 913 of Dodd-Frank applies when a broker is providing "personalized investment advice" to "retail customers," he says. "What do these terms mean?" he asks. Section 913 also states that the SEC may extend the fiduciary duty to "other customers," Tittsworth says. "Will the SEC exercise this authority or will [the agency] only deal with 'retail' customers?"
Then there's the portion of Section 913 that states "it will not be a violation of the standard of care, in and of itself, to engage in proprietary trades or to charge commissions," Tittsworth explains. "Both involve potential conflicts of interest. How will the [fiduciary] standard of care treat these types of activities?"
According to Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), the SEC's study under Section 913 of Dodd-Frank "made absolutely clear that the agency has every intention of pursuing an approach that retains the ability of brokers to offer transaction-based advice compensated through commissions and to sell both proprietary products and from a limited menu of products."
Moreover, she says, the SEC "has delayed dealing with principal trading restrictions so that they can be addressed as part of the larger fiduciary rule in a way that preserves brokers' ability to conduct such trades."
Casady of LPL says that putting brokers under a fiduciary standard "doesn't go far enough" in leveling the "uneven" playing field that exists for brokers and advisors. LPL, along with a lobbying firm the company hired, has been telling the SEC as well as members of Congress that making sure a fiduciary standard for brokers "has the same teeth" as the one applied to RIAs is just the starting point.
As the Rand study pointed out, Casady says, consumers don't understand the differences in regulatory, business or educational requirements that brokers and advisors are held to. "If you are a broker, you have a testing mechanism and a continuing education process that keeps you up to date on the latest industry issues," he says. But when acting "purely as an RIA, none of those requirements exist—there is no capital requirement for the firm, no insurance requirement, no continuing education requirement—there are best practices for RIAs, but no national CE" requirements. "There may be states that have some CE requirements, but there are no national requirements for CE, and it's not extensive if it's state driven," Casady maintains.
So if brokers are to be held to a fiduciary standard, then it's only fair to then "harmonize" the rules for RIAs and brokers, Casady says. The SEC should ensure RIAs adhere to capital, insurance and CE requirements "as a way of making sure the consumer is assured" the same standards are being applied along with a fiduciary requirement. Of course, he adds, harmonizing the standards "doesn't mean that everything that needs to happen to a broker needs to happen to an advisor because you have a very different mechanism for compensation." Maybe some brokers' practices should end, he says, and "never bother to take [those practices] to RIAs. And there may be some things to stop doing on both sides or things to start doing on the RIA side."
Harmonization of advisor and broker rules may or may not get rolled into the fiduciary standard rulemaking, as a top SEC executive told me in a previous interview that an extensive harmonizing of advisor and broker rules would require a separate rulemaking.
The next natural step after harmonizing fiduciary duty and rules that apply to brokers and RIAs, Casady says, is to "harmonize oversight [of advisors and brokers] and create an SRO for RIAs." While that SRO body doesn't necessarily have to be FINRA, Casady says, LPL supports FINRA as the SRO "because we think [FINRA] has the means to do it and it would be most cost effective." Also, he adds: "Remember that 80% (maybe 88%) of the brokers in the industry are also RIAs—so there is a high overlap of advisors that are already being overseen by FINRA."

Capt. Jacob Oehlert said the fire began in the attic of the one-floor house, and the roof was severely damaged.
Oehlert said 14 firefighters fought the blaze and the fire was under control around 3:20 a.m.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and no one was injured in the blaze, he said.

I've been thinking a lot about Bioware games lately, and the role of class and race in storytelling. It was just Bioware month after all – did you catch me on Justice Points? If not, check it out.
In the typical Western fantasy RPG that lets you create your own character, there are two big choices to make at the start – the class you want to play and the race you want to be (and your hairstyle, obviously). Your class – warrior, rogue, mage are the big three though some games offer many more specific classes like druids, priests or rangers – dictates the types of abilities you can use. Your race – Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, etc. – can impact what classes you can choose and may give you certain traits or attributes.
What class you play in RPGs generally has the most impact on mechanics and how you solve problems as opposed to the narrative. Where a warrior may break down a locked door, a rogue may pick the lock or pickpocket the key, and a mage might use a Knock spell. Some games offer quests or things like guilds that can only be accessed by players of a certain class, but these generally don't have a huge impact on the story. Combat is a big problem to be solved in most games, and class has a huge impact on that. The combat experience of a sword & board warrior is quite different from that of a spirit mage and most players have a preference when it comes to combat style.
Many RPGs can boast that your decisions and character background shape your game experience in some way, but the Dragon Age series in particular takes things a bit further. As evidenced by the name, the first Dragon Age game puts a lot of emphasis on the origin of your character. You can choose to play one of 6 different origin stories – You can be a Daelish elf or a city elf, a Dwarf Noble or commoner, or a Human Noble. Or you can be a Mage. Each of these 6 character types has it's own unique origin story that acts as the prologue of the game, but the difference in experience doesn't stop there. If you're a dwarf from the Noble caste, you'll have a different experience and understanding of what happens in Orzammar than you would if you were a human. If you're a city elf you'll have different conversations when you revisit the alienage in Denerim. If you're anything but a human noble Alistair will stomp all over your heart after you make him King. Yes, this is a lingering trauma. These little differences based on your origin, along with the changes caused by your choices make the game worth replaying. That's not where the differences end though, as the Mage class throws you a curveball. While being a warrior or a rogue makes no difference to the game's narrative and doesn't impact your origin story, being a Mage changes everything. When you're a Mage you get a whole different origin story and whether you're a human or an elf (dwarves can't practice magic) doesn't matter. Being a Mage trumps everything else.
From a narrative standpoint, this is thematically appropriate and is a great bit of world building. The tensions between the Circle of Mages and the Chantry is one of the defining parts of Thedas. When it's discovered that someone can use magic they're shipped off to the Circle where they live under constant surveillance, it doesn't matter where they came from or what race they are. It makes total sense that being a Mage is going to have a great impact on your experiences in the world as opposed to being a rogue or warrior which really has no impact on story.
Choosing the Mage class in Dragon Age 2 also has a significant impact on how you experience the game. As you make your way to Kirkwall with your family, one of your siblings is killed and who it is is based on your class. If you're a warrior or a rogue, you go through the rest of the game with your sister, Bethany, a Mage. If you're a Mage yourself, it's Carver, the warrior who survives and may become a Templar later on.
Again, this makes sense from a narrative standpoint. The troubles between the Circle of Mages and the Chantry and Templars is even more at the forefront of this game, eventually reaching a boiling point. Much more tension is created by putting your sibling on the opposite side of the issue from you. Also, it aids in the ability to create a balanced party at the start of the game.
However, as much as it makes sense in the scope of the game world, having your class impact your experience of the story so much causes some issues for me. I like being a mage, I find their abilities more interesting than the other classes and I find them more fun to play. The spells have real synergy and you can change your combat strategy quite considerably based on which skill trees you invest in. There are area of effect spells, direct single target spells, spells that hit in a cone, plus buffs and heals for your party. Warriors are really dull to play. Rogues are a bit more interesting, but still rather button mashy. From a pure mechanics standpoint, I always want to play a mage. That means I'll probably never get to see things as a Daelish elf in DA:O. In Dragon Age 2 I always have to make a choice – play the class I prefer and never get to experience Bethany's story or choose a class I'll have less fun with so I can see this other side of the game. It's a long game and playing as a class I don't like will definitely impact my enjoyment.
I can't think of any other games where the class you choose so greatly impacts the events of the game. It makes sense, in the world of Thedas, that being a mage limits your options. But in the real world, where I want to have fun while playing games, it's disappointing that fun combat mechanics and differing narrative experiences can be at odds with one another.

Beefing up its talent roster, NBC Universal Intl. has cut a first-look television development pact with actor Sam Worthington's Full Clip Prods.
Deal calls for Full Clip to develop TV projects for the global marketplace through the Peacock's international arm, which is looking to expand in television production under the direction of Michael Edelstein, prexy of TV production for NBC U Intl.
Luca Scalisi, a former exec with Eminem's Shady World Prods. banner, has joined Full Clip as head of television.
Based in L.A., Full Clip was founded last year by Worthington, the Aussie star of "Avatar" and "Clash of the Titans," and brothers John Schwarz and Michael Schwarz.
The company has a deal with Radical Studios to publish comicbooks and graphic novels with an eye toward adapting them for the bigscreen. The first property, a six-part series dubbed "Damaged," is set to be published this summer. Full Clip also has a feature based on the Allan Quartermain explorer character set up at DreamWorks and "Last Days of American Crime" at Radical Studios with Worthington attached to star.
Edelstein said he was impressed by Worthington's commitment to working as a producer and building up his banner.
"In our first meeting, they pitched us 10 different ideas for shows," Edelstein said. "We very much responded to their material and their passion. In the TV business it's hard to find fresh ideas. When you come across people who have them, you have to move."
Edelstein said that Worthington's background as an Aussie thesp who has hit it big in international blockbusters affords him and his partners a good perspective on the opportunities that exist in TV outside the U.S.
"The combination of the creative assets and depth that Full Clip Productions brings to the table along with NBCUniversal International's vision for creating compelling content for global television audiences will prove to be a winning formula," said John Schwarz.
Full Clip will work closely with Deborah Oppenheimer, NBC U Intl.'s L.A.-based exec veep of TV production, in developing material.
Edelstein, a experienced producer and exec, was tapped by NBC U last summer to lead the charge in growing its international TV production operation. He is based in London. The Peacock during the past few years has bought up U.K. indies Carnival, Monkey Kingdom and Chocolate Media.
"There's a lot of great TV being created around the world," Edelstein said. "We want to get into business with really strong creative people wherever they are in the world."

Dr. Norbert W. Sander Jr., of Hastings-on-Hudson, died on St. Patrick's Day of a heart attack.
He was stricken at home Friday and taken to a hospital in Yonkers, his hometown, where he was pronounced dead, multiple media reports said.
The winner of the 1974 New York City Marathon – the only New Yorker to do so -- was 74.
He attended Sacred Heart Grammar School in the Capuchin Franciscan parish in Yonkers , Fordham Prep, Fordham College, the University of Lausanne, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Sander, affectionately called "Norb" or "Doc," was the driving force behind the creation of The Armory Foundation.
Under his guidance, the former homeless shelter became a world-class track and field facility for New York City youth and the Washington Heights community. More than 125,000 young people reportedly compete there, and 500,000 people visit it, each year.
The Armory Foundation houses the National Track and Field Hall of Fame and the Charles B. Rangel Learning and Technology Center.
Because of all the people it attracts, it has helped boost businesses in the neighborhood, according to nyc.gov.
According to fordhamprep.com, The Armory had been the city's top arena for indoor track from 1910 to the miid-1980s. It was in sad shape when it was turned into a shelter for thousands of men, fordhamprep.com said.
Sander ran on The Armory's original wooden track when he was attending Fordham Prep and Fordham College, fordhamprep.com said.
According to fordhamprep.org, he was a Greek Honors student, a member of the "historic" 1958 and 1959 cross-country teams that took City Championships
After graduating from Fordham in 1964, Sander ran for the Gaelic-American Athletic Club, The New York Times reported.
He practiced medicine for more than four decades in Manhattan and on City Island, known as the "Seaport of the Bronx." He was the model of a "compassionate healer and faithful advocate," his family said.
An accomplished cross-country runner in college, Sander was at the forefront of those who embraced the sport long before it caught on in the 1970s, according to The New York Times.
He was the winner of a title at the Penn Relays championship in 1963, the Times said.
According to runnersworld.com, Sander finished 34th in the 1968 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Alamosa, Colo. In 1973, he.won the Yonkers Marathon and set his personal best in New York, 2:23:38. In 1974, he won the Mardi Gras (New Orleans) Marathon.and New York City Marathon in September.
In 1979, Sander ran 2:24:36 in the Nike OTC Marathon in Eugene, Ore., runnersworld.com said.
Sander, an internist, specialized in family and sports medicine and was a member of the board of the group that organizes the New York City Marathon, New York Road Runners, the Times reported.
According to letsrun.com, Sander was the recipient of the 2014 Abebe Bikila Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Sport of Running and the 2016 recipient of the City & State Reports Outstanding Achievement in Community Development Award.
Sander is survived by his wife, Bridget (Bennett); mother, the former Gertrude (Carroll); sister Carroll Sivco (Peter); four daughters, Eva, Jessica, Emma, and Phoebe; and two grandchildren, Catherine and Kiera.
He was predeceased by his father, Norbert W. Sander, and brother, John Gerard.
Visiting hours are 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Monday, March 20, at the Edwards-Dowdle Funeral Home, 64 Ashford Ave., Dobbs Ferry.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 21, at Sacred Heart Church, 110 Shonnard Place, Yonkers.

Watching somebody else's wedding video is usually a grin-and-bear it affair – but not in the case of Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz's nuptials.
The St. Paul, Minn. couple's hip-shaking, joyfully wild dance down the aisle with their bridal party is the feel-good video of the summer, drawing more than 7.2 million views on YouTube in just over a week.
The celebration of love and unabashedly goofy fun – complete with somersaults and some dubious dance moves – is particularly refreshing at a time when the last major video to hit the Internet featured surreptitiously and illegally shot footage of a public figure in a private moment.
"I put it up because her dad had been really harassing me to get it out to some of his other family members, and it exploded," Heinz told the "Today" show, which had the newlyweds and their wedding party recreate the ritual-smashing June 20 dance Friday morning in Rockefeller Plaza.
Peterson and Heinz also have appeared on the "CBS Evening News" and on "Good Morning America," and their "JK Wedding Entrance Dance" video has notched some 38,000 comments on YouTube, the vast majority from well wishers sharing in their joy.
Not a bad way to kick off a life together for a couple of 28-year-olds, even if the song they danced to – "Forever" – is by Chris Brown, who isn't exactly a symbol of domestic bliss these days. Who knows – maybe "Forever" will replace Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," or at least the video will encourage other couples to break tradition and march down the aisle to the beat of their own drummer.
So we'll use this happy occasion to toast Peterson and Heinz, and ask a question: What's the wildest thing you've ever seen at a wedding?
Use the comments section below to tell us – or forever hold your peace.
Check out the video here.

Whenever I've tried Japanese or Korean foundation products, I've been fairly happy with the results but not with the colouring (I am NC35 and I find most foundation products too light for me).
I took a risk when I ordered Coffret D'or's newest foundation, Silk Cream (SPF21) because it looks just like 'my' kind of base – creamy and hydrating with medium coverage.
They say: Rich, smooth cream that creates exceptionally silky skin with smoothness and luster. Rich moisture and a light, soft feel. This cream creates skin with the smoothness and luster of high-quality silk.
Coffret D'or replaced my beloved T'estimo – I still kind of miss it a bit now. I do think Coffret D'or is a strong brand with some great products, yet, next to MAQUillage and the more affordable KATE, Integrate and Lavshuca, it doesn't stand out enough.
Here are the shade choices:
If you are pale, you're spoilt for choice (although the foundation is quite yellow based)!
I bought OC-D because it looked close to other foundations I usually buy. I love that Japanese brands release new foundation regularly, suitable for winter and summer seasons.
How to use this foundation?
The packaging of this foundation is quite plain, and it's a bit cheap for the price (I paid about £27 due to the crap exchange rate). It's just made of plastic….
The lid is a matte silver thing with a jewel design.
It slides away and the spatula is in the lid. I like this idea, I always lose the spatula to a foundation so this saves me some trouble!
Lid aside here is the base. OC-D is a golden yellow beige – it looks dark in the tub but applied, it lightens up so is more like a NC30 in my opinion, thus slightly too light.
The texture of this foundation is a thick cream – it's a bit like the Paul & Joe moisturizing creamy matte foundation but far more workable. The Coffret D'or actually needs some warming up and working in.
Coverage is not an issue really, it gives a medium coverage and elimates most of my blemishes and redness. It has decent pore cover too – something Japanese brands excel at.
Here are some before & afters.
The finish is semi-glowy, and it is very comfortable to wear (it's nice and hydrating for this cold weather). I'm not convinced it would last too long on dry skin.
Despite these positives though, I wasn't particularly impressed by this fairly expensive foundation. The shade is slightly off for me, a bit too light, and it took a bit of work to pat in (the best way to apply this base I found). I am actually struggling to choose to use this in the morning when I have so many better foundations.
Verdict: Skip it

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 29 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
The American Dream Sweepstakes
My company focuses on education and empowerment for homeowners in distress. We are launching a national sweepstakes - the prize is a year's free mortgage (and additional prizes) for one homeowner. In addition, the winner will receive financial coaching from a group of experts over the course of the year, so when they are responsible for their mortgage payment again after the term has ended, they will have a savings cushion and strong financial skills.
This is a simple one-page website - banner, video, form, "enter to win" button. That's it. This page has one primary goal: entice visitors to enter the sweepstakes. We need a PSD only (with properly named layers). No coding required.
I like traditional landing page formats - where the information (banner and all) is in a box in the middle of the page. If you choose to do this format, the border should have some visual interest - gradient color, stars (or a design to mirror - but not overpower - the banner), clouds... something.
US homeowners. This is primarily a web contest to be promoted through social media.
Colors - Blue, Yellow, Orange, White or Cream
The page layout is very simple:

Remember the ridiculous on-again, off-again Brad Pitt movie that was to be based on Michael Lewis' book "Moneyball"? Well Pitt is getting into another Lewis project, optioning the author's forthcoming book about the global economic crisis.
"The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine," due to be published March 15, is about "the freefall of the American economy" and full of "villains, a few heroes, and a lot of people who look very, very foolish," according to publisher W.W. Norton's website.
After watching "Moneyball" go through fits and starts before dying just days ahead of shooting was to begin, Lewis probably isn't holding his breath -- despite suggestions that the film is still on life support.
Taking on a Lewis project could pay dividends for Pitt, given that Lewis also wrote "The Blind Side," which earned Sandra Bullock an Oscar nomination. Let's just hope that if Pitt does go through with this project, he doesn't shift the focus of the film away from the book's narrative, and make "Doomsday Machine" about a sassy, middle-aged white woman.

I'm leaving soon for a trip to Asia w/4x5. I've been hearing that sheet film is much more susceptible to carry-on X-ray fogging then roll film. I hear that Foto Care in NYC is selling lead foil to wrap film in. What precautions should I ta ke? Should I send film home by DHL? Thanks for the help.

International Exchanges
The International Visitor Exchange Program (IVEP) began when Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) workers in Europe, who since 1946 had helped selected students from Europe for the Council of Mennonite and Affiliated Colleges, proposed a nonacademic exchange program for worthy young people to live and work for one year in North America. The goal of the program was to further international understanding, broaden horizons, and advance Christian unity. In 2007 the program changed its name to International Volunteer Exchange Program (IVEP).
After approval from the United States Department of State (1948), farmers from Europe arrived in New York in 1950. The program expanded to include non-agricultural fields in 1952; the first non-European came from Japan in 1955. From 1950 to 2007, over 3,300 young people aged 19-30 participated from 53 different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. The program continued to accept 50-70 participants each year.
The 12-month program originally consisted of two 6-month placements, though in later years the placements were usually for the full 12 months. Sponsors in the North American Mennonite constituency provide work experience, a home away from home, and pocket money to the exchangees and send a monthly donation to MCC in exchange for the vocational participation of the overseas visitors. While vocational training remains a part of the program, IVEP has broadened its focus to include peace building as a central component of the program. IVEPers are encouraged to become peacemakers while in North America and also after they return to their home countries. Participants are selected by national Mennonite and Brethren in Christ leaders, missionaries, or MCC personnel in the sending country. All participants must return home at the end of the one year. Placements are made both in the United States and Canada (since 1960). Administrators for the program have included Doreen Harms, Elma Esau, Katherine Penner Hostetler, Pauline Jahnke Bauman, and Emma Schlichting. In 2007 Isabella Sellar Voll (Canada) and Karina Derksen-Schrock (United States) were the IVEP administrators.
The Polish Agricultural Visitor Exchange (PAVE) was born in April 1971 to facilitate contact with people in Eastern European countries. Up to 35 people participated annually. Placement and funding were similar to those of the IVEP. Martial law in Poland brought on termination of the program in March 1983. During its 12-year existence, 246 Polish agriculturists participated. The program was conducted in cooperation with Stowarzyszeniem Inzynierow i Technikow Rolnictwa, a Polish umbrella agricultural agency.
The Intermenno Trainee Program (ITP) is a one-year cultural exchange in Europe for North American young people 19-27 years of age. It was initiated in 1963 by the Diakoniewerk der Mennoniten the forerunner of the International Mennonite Organization. After Dutch Mennonites joined the program in 1965, placements were made in The Netherlands, West Germany, Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Similar in purposes and operations to IVEP, the ITP is administered by the European Mennonite Committees in The Netherlands and West Germany with ties to Mennonite conferences and relief and service agencies in each of these countries. From 1963 to 1986, 847 North American young people were sponsored by ITP.
The China Educational Exchange (CEE) was created in December 1981 as an offspring of an exchange between Goshen College and the Sichuan Bureau of Higher Education. It is made up of representatives from Mennonite mission boards, MCC, the Mennonite Medical Association, Mennonite Mental Health Associates, and interested Mennonite colleges. North American teachers of English are sent to China for two-year terms. Chinese teachers of language, history, and culture are placed in North American colleges; visits of medical doctors, nurses, and agricultural people are also administered. Exchanges of engineers and mental health personnel were under negotiation in 1986. A total of 38 professional people came from China and 85 North Americans went to China through CEE, 1981-86.

Classical meets contemporary when the world-renowned Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre takes the stage at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina on Saturday and Sunday to present a program of dance spanning more than 100 years.
The elegant Raymonda Variations, based on French ballet master Marius Petipa's classic 1898 ballet, will be followed by Step Touch, a 2009 work choreographed by Dwight Rhoden of "So You Think You Can Dance" fame.
"The best thing about being a ballet dancer in this day and age is that you get to do it all," said Pittsburgh Ballet principal ballerina Julia Erickson, one of 18 dancers from the company participating in the arts center program. "The pieces we will be performing were created a century apart. There's a stark difference in style."
Raymonda Variations, set to the music of Russian composer Alexander Glazunov, is a 40-minute tutu ballet that has been updated to showcase the more technical movements being performed by today's dancers.
"We can dance with so much more precision now," said Erickson, who is in her 11th season with the Pittsburgh Ballet. "The tenets of ballet are the same, but the technique has been refined."
Set in Hungary during the middle ages, the ballet features glorious dancing, including a wedding ceremony flavored with Hungarian folk dance.
Fast forward to the 21st century and the choreography of Dwight Rhoden, hailed by The New York Times as "one of the most sought out choreographers of the day." Step Touch, his homage to doo-wop, features a series of vignettes set to 13 hit songs from the '40s and '50s, among them "Under the Boardwalk", "There Goes My Baby" and "This Magic Moment".
"It's a lot of fun," Erickson said. "He's taken classical ballet technique as a base and turned it on its head."
Rhoden, who has collaborated with the Pittsburgh Ballet on several projects, gave each song its own theme, sometimes interpreting the lyrics and other times just the mood of the song.
The piece features all 18 dancers wearing colorful leotards with shorts and skirts. At one point, the female dancers take the stage in outfits reminiscent of '50s-style bathing suits.
"Everyone has a different color," Erickson said. "There are lots of stripes and polka dots. Think Annette Funicello."
Pittsburgh Ballet Artistic Director Terrence Orr has spearheaded the company's artistic vision and its commitment to building audiences with the creation of new works and innovative programming. During his 14-year tenure, he has commissioned 17 new ballets, many of them inspired by American music.
"The program we've put together for the Arts Center showcases the diversity of our repertory," Orr said. "It offers audiences a taste of the extremities of dance — from classical to contemporary."
What: Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre
When: 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
Cost: Tickets $55 at the box office or online at www.artshhi.com or by phone by calling 842-ARTS (2787).

Quick update about my complicated schedule and a free desktop wallpaper.

Writer and podcaster Joshua Pantalleresco has had more than a few unexpected twists and turns in his life, but he's learned to embrace change and opportunities when they come… and has usually been grateful he has.
Five things I'm grateful that have happened because I chose this winding road that I may not have been blessed with otherwise. Plus, I finally share the story of how I ended up in the mud!

Striving to treat not just a disease, but the entire person, a new medical facility for the seriously ill has opened in San Jose.
The first free-standing outpatient center of its kind in California, Palliative Care Center Silicon Valley aims to treat often overlooked aspects of major illness: pain, other types of discomfort, emotional distress and anxiety of families facing difficult decisions.
The opening of the nonprofit center was celebrated Friday in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, who said his wife, a nurse, is an advocate of palliative care. The center is a division of the nonprofit Hospice of the Valley.
"It is about making the lives people more comfortable and higher quality," said Dr. Neal Slatkin, chief medical officer for Hospice of the Valley, who will treat patients at the center.
"We have tended to neglect that aspect of medicine," he said. "We have been seduced by our technologies."
Palliative is rapidly emerging as a vital resource to those struggling with serious and life-threatening illnesses. The root word for palliation in Latin, alliare, means to cloak or shield. Palliative care protects people from the ravages of illness, while reducing the stressful, expensive and often unnecessary rushes to hospital emergency rooms.
Unlike hospice care, palliative care can be provided together with curative and life-prolonging treatments.
Most palliative care is offered at hospitals. An estimated 1,600 U.S. hospitals offer inpatient programs.
For patients not sick enough to need hospitalization, a few pioneering health-care providers, such as Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Kaiser, offer home-based care. But the new San Jose center is the state's first independent stand-alone facility, where patients visit for a physical exam, thoughtful conversation and a therapy plan.
"The home can be comfortable," said Slatkin. "But sometimes homes are noisy, messy and full of people you may not want to tell your story in front of."
Patients treated at the San Jose center may have a variety of serious illnesses, such as cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney failure or Alzheimer's disease. Care is available for people at any stage of a serious illness, from time of diagnosis to more advanced stages.
The center contracts with most insurance providers and Medicare, and will offer services to patients without insurance on a sliding-scale basis. As a nonprofit organization, it also relies on community fundraising for financial support.
Care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses, social workers and other specialists who coordinate with the patient's other doctors, said Sally Adelus, president and CEO of Hospice of the Valley.
It offers services such as pain and symptom management, emotional and practical support, assistance in navigating the health-care system, psychological counseling to help adjust to life with a serious illness, and complementary therapies, such as Reiki and massage, art, music and aroma therapy.
To get an appointment, patients are referred by physicians for consultation. If a patient does not have a physician referral, the center will contact the doctor.
"It's an extra layer of support for patients living with any chronic, serious illness," Adelus said.
Contact Lisa M. Krieger at 650-492-4098.

The Lion In Winter
Up at the crack of crow's piss last Friday and on the road with the boy almost immediately. We don't jack around. Pack light and go, up to Sudbury before noon.
We made good time.
Called Dad at the camp (he allowed his neighbour to string a line through the woods so that there is a phone in case of emergency, his one concession to civilization) and arranged to meet after a quick lunch with Mom and gathering of supplies - filled up a jerry can with gasoline, also got some beer and pork and a toothbrush for the boy, the one thing I forgot.
Down the old cordoroy road and at the landing and across the lake we went in the fourteen foot.
Last year when we did this we were in parkas, hats and gloves when we made the trip, this year a sweatshirt did the job. The sun was shining, the colours were brilliant.
Day one was a simple one. We had the boy bail out the twelve foot which was almost swamped by the rains of last week. We cleared and gathered some brush and stacked the woodpile but overall it was pretty slack. The young fellow got some reading in and I had a few beers and Dad had a couple of rums and we had some of his homemade stew for supper. Done in by the drive and the fresh air I was in bed just past nine. Unlike last year when we nearly froze to death it was positively balmy.
The second day we started off with ham and eggs and then got to the task we were there for. Our old dock at the landing had given it up and so Dad is determined to build a new one. It will be his last one, he said. Next time it rots out (twenty years) or the ice takes it then it will be someone else's problem.
I helped him put one together twenty plus years ago, one Saturday morning when I was in my early twenties and still drunk from the night before. What a nightmare that day was. Was at some girl's place at 3am and realized I had to go. Walked across the city, getting home with the sun already risen, at 6, Dad waking me at 7 to head out.
Now this time he had the cribs in place and what he needed were two twenty four foot timbers. You run those from the shore over the cribs and then you nail your boards across these and there you have your dock. He uses pine, there's nothing you can do about the ice taking away your dock but if you have pine then if it survives the ice it will last for decades.
We hop into the fourteen foot and duck into a little bay which is at the corner of our bigger one. There's a beaver lodge in there and it goes back a bit, its a bit treacherous with driftwood and enough rocks to take out your prop but we've been going there for over forty years. We used to go in as kids, all the way to the end of it and then track through the bush to a small lake about a mile or so in where we'd put our minnow traps. I'm sure the path is long gone now, its thick bush, we're talking 70s Penthouse here.
The lake is Northern Ontario shield, carved from granite hills, boulders scattered along their slopes and down into the water, left there by the retreating glaciers. Its what you would call rugged. ;) So we putted along until we saw some possibilities and then brought the boat in, nice and easy, a perfect landing as my old man always says.
It was slippery going, clambering up the hillside, amongst the red boulders, the forest floor brown with pine needles, the stand of red and white pine and balsam rising to blue skies. Dad with his chainsaw, me with the axe, the boy carrying a tape measure and work gloves.
Dad turned to me and laughed at one point and said 'We're like mountain goats up here'
My old man is 80.
You would have to see it to believe it.
We found a tree and he brought it down and I hacked the branches off of it and then we cut it to twenty four feet and then hauled it down the hill (to be fair gravity did a fair bit of the work here) and then drug it into the water and into the boat we went and tied it and towed it back to camp where we hauled it onto the shore. And then back we came again and did it a second time.
And then it was time for a beer and some homemade soup which is basically Dad's stew with a bit more water in it. He lives off of this, every day its his lunch. When he said last year that 'Everything he needs is right here' there was soup, even if there was neither heat nor light.
And so we meandered back and forth from the logs, stripping the bark off of them leisurely, to other odd jobs that were two man endeavours and then to the deck for a beer. Supper was corn on the cob and potatoes and pork chops on the barbeque and we all had our fill, the boy eating what could be described as a man sized meal for the first time, shovelling back the mountain on his plate.
And so again that night we sat upstairs, I with a beer, Dad with a Caesar. He told me about how one of his younger brothers, kicked out of high school, went to work as what they called a radio operator up in Wawa and then further north, directing air traffic was the job basically, cajoling the pilots to take him up with them, letting him fly until he got his pilot's license, working his way through Arctic milk runs until he ended his career flying jumbo jets for Air Canada.
He told me about the summer he spent prospecting in Newfoundland, about the bear that he shot when it came into his tent one morning and the massive cod that dragged him and a buddy around a cove one day when they were casting about from a canoe and about how he went into the bush with a young Inuit helper Enik Karpik, going in for weeks at a time, trying to strike it rich for a British mining concern.
He talked about playing hockey with his brothers on frozen northern lakes and running along the tops of moving trains as they chugged out of Franz, jumping off into enormous snowbanks laughing.
And he talked about times up at camp, how they bought a rundown log cabin in 1968 and how his best friend, a massive Finn named Otto Koski, proclaimed that first things first they would repair the sauna. And so they did.
Otto is gone now and so is Dad's brother Don and so too many of the friends Dad talked about on the nights we spent last weekend but for my old man there are no regrets. He misses them but he's got too much to do and too little time and so he chuckles and raises a glass and then he gets right back to it.
What a guy. Unreal.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Ashley Judd is considering a move from film to politics, and may challenge U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014, The Atlantic Wire reported.
The "Someone Like You" and "Kiss the Girls" star dined with a handful of high-profile Democrats in Louisville, Ky., last week, sparking speculation she is gearing up to run against the state's Republican senator, the report said.
The dinner was held at the home of Christy Brown, the widow of Brown-Forman executive Owsley Brown II, and was attended by the commonwealth's only Democratic congressman, John Yarmuth, and former party chairman, Jonathan Miller.
The Atlantic Wire said Judd also has contacted the Democratic polling firm Global Strategy Group, as well as talked to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who successfully ran in a conservative House district in New York before entering the Senate.
Judd, 44, has not publicly announced any intention to run for political office.
Last month she confirmed she and race-car driver Dario Franchitti plan to divorce after 11 years of marriage.

Having barely caught our breath after shipping out Pope Adrian 37th Psychristiatric, we are very happy to say that the next Rudimentary Peni reissue is now on the presses. We are really enjoying putting together these reissues and seeing all of the interest in the band. Four years after the release of Death Church, Rudimentary Peni surprised us by returning with Cacophony. At the time it confounded and delighted fans in equal measure. With retrospect it is considered by many to be the band's masterwork, as well as one of the most visionary and radical works in the history of British punk. Cacophony could be considered a concept album in the sense that its spirit is obsessed with the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Musically it is a glorious melting pot of noise-punk, heavy guitar riffs, experimental rhythms, and psuedo-pop melodies. What is truly remarkable is the vocals of Nick Blinko, who throughout the 43 minutes of Cacophony assumes at least a dozen personalities and moves from punk screams to vaudevillian characterisations to Shakespearian monologues to pop choruses, and back again. Fans of HPL will find many reference points to delight them, whilst even those who have never read the work of the horror writer will come away from Cacophony feeling as if they have been immersed in one of his stories. Throughout the album, a sense of the darkest black humour pervades - we are the audience for a kind of grotesquely jovial pantomime of word-play and musical adventure. Most definitely a headphones-on, lights-off experience.
- Remastered from the original analogue tapes.
- All original artwork presented in fine detail.
- CD version in gatefold sleeve with 20 page lyric booklet.
- Vinyl edition comprises 180g black vinyl, gatefold sleeve, poster, 8 page full size lyric booklet and download card.

"Cacophony is the exact point where genius meets madness." - Punknews.org "Cacophony is, in fact, the Ummagumma or Trout Mask Replica of British punk." - Scaruffi.com "The most original, outlandish, compelling, amusing and downright weird LP I've ever laid ears on." - KKKKK Kerrang (April 1989) "Very rarely have the aggressive dynamics of punk pock been harnessed with such convincingly odd and macabre thoughts." - 4/5 Sounds (January 1989)

This project is a system to reduce our power consumption, particularly when we're not there.When either of us comes into the room, all we have to do is tap our key fobs on a reader mounted by the door, and the room turns on or off what we normally use. The reader by the door reads the presence or absence of the tags.The content available so far gives you a brief background on the relevant parts of language — grammar, pragmatics, discourse analysis, etc.The authors go on to talk about setting up an annotation project: determining your goal, creating your model/specification, and creating/storing your annotations in a flexible but easy to create (by annotators) manner. I had no previous experience in this area, but I had no trouble understanding the subject matter for the most part.The book is only 28 pages, so it's more of a long tutorial than a book, but it still acts as a good introduction to RFID.Disclaimer: I received this book for free through the O'Reilly Blogger program. When you see "I am a sentence I am another sentence," you know that you're really looking at two different sentences even though the period between "sentence" and "I" is missing.Even when we're not here, the room is drawing a lot of power.What devices are turned on at any given time depends largely on which of us is here, and what we're doing.
This book your computer to work with the looser languages used by humans (like English) instead of the stricter counterparts used by machines.
Here are some of the notes I took while reading the book: When you run an Xcode project from a standard (i.e., non-admin) user, you might be asked to enter credentials of a user in the "Developer Tools group." You can fix this by adding the (current) user to the group: When you purchase something from the Mac App Store, you'll see a little icon in your dock, but that doesn't show you the percentage of progress.
