Collegium antropologicum, Vol.32 - Supplement 1 No.1 May 2008. -
The aim of this study was to analyse glycosphingolipid expression in cerebrospinal fluid CSF from one idiopathic
West syndrome IWS infant, one with Reye like syndrome, and one with congenital hydrocephalus, in comparison to
control group n=7 using highly sensitive thin-layer chromatography-immunostaining methods. Gangliotetraose-series
gangliosides acidic glycosphingolipids were not detected in CSF of infant with idiopathic West syndrome and infant
with congenital hydrocephalus. CSF of infant with IWS showed traces of neolacto-tetraose ganglioside fractions,
which were absent in all other CSF examined. In addition, lactosylceramide fraction, and one ceramide fraction were
highly expressed only in IWS CSF. These results confirmed previously described lack of gangliotetraose-series gangliosides
in IWS patient and for the first time is described increased expression of neolacto-series glycosphingolipids in IWS
patient. Since follow up until the age of five years showed almost normal IWS patient psychomotor development, the
discribed shift of glycosphingolipid expression may implicate on transient inhibition of specific glycosyl transferases in
the age of seven months.
idiopathic West syndrome; Reye like syndrome; congenital hydrocephalus; cerebrospinal fluid; glycosphingolipids

Tom, I used a sheet of paper (on an iPad screen) to crop the horizontal light area in the background. Although I'm not sure why, I think the picture is better with the light area. But I'll be interested to see what others think.
The bright background works fine for me. If you could lift the foreground shadows to provide more detail and clarity, your photo might become magical.
For me, Tom, misty scenes usually work better with a sharper 'reference area' in the foreground. Which you have with this scene.
But I suspect there is just a fraction too much dark area at the bottom. This probably won't lighten sufficiently so I would crop slightly closer at the bottom.
This is of more concern to me than the top brightness, which works either way. The only problem with a slight crop is do you take a matching amount from the sides (left side?) or can you get away with a different size ratio (maybe 5 x 4 ratio)?
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Geoff, you are exactly right! Lightening it in the foreground gives a horrid color. I chose to darken the foreground to try and recover though a vignette.
Is this a situation where a flash would help overcome this issue? I don't have much experience with the flash. Right now I have two options, on and off. On, well, it produces results that make you want to turn it off, lol. Has anyone tried softening a point and shoot to produce a workable result?
Rather than use a flash, you could have used a tripod and taken one exposure that is ideal for the bright areas and a different exposure that is ideal for the dark areas. You could have then combined the best parts of the two files into one file.
Flash can be used to lighten a foreground but it is often difficult to get natural looking results. Using any of the full auto settings is likely to be disappointing. Try shooting in Av (aperture priority) but use a tripod because the exposure may be rather long.
Or, what I would use, is to set the camera manually to suit the background then adjust the flash output compensation to achieve a suitable result.
But this still might not give what you want.
Mike's idea of shooting some form of HDR exposures then combining them could work. HDR can be made to look natural with careful editing; or manually combine two or more shots.
The potential problem with this sort of shot is wind movement of the reeds, or other parts, which would make a HDR combination difficult, or impossible. Worth trying though.
Your other option is to make a dark foreground into an important element of your composition. As you have already achieved with this image which has the foreground in silhouette form.
I wasn't thinking of using HDR software due to the issue Geoff mentioned about wind moving the foreground plants. Instead, I was thinking of manually combining two different exposures.
I like the light but agree maybe the foreground is too dark. I looked at it by cropping out the very bottom which seemed to work better as the bright green grasses then led my eyes into the light.
Thanks all for the input and information. I have yet to attempt to combine photos together and will start reading up on it. I am curious to see if similar situations will be impacted by wind and such. I cropped it and really like the outcome, thank you. Another one for the Penski file I suppose.
A nice photo. The thought I had would be to shoot a little lower (but, only if that is safe and possible) and put those water plants above the skyline. As I said it is a nice photo of the mist and morning.
I go to work most mornings all muddy from such things Man, I'm one lucky guy. I never saw this before, it was there and gone. Wish I was able to get more than one shot! Maybe tomorrow?

Change Happens when You Leap into the Unknown
I have a friend who suffers from extremely painful episodes of intestinal problems. She has had numerous colonoscopies and gastroscopies, but the results are always clean.
And yet, during one of her bouts, she couldn't eat for weeks due to pain.
It's painful for me to idly watch her suffer, knowing there is nothing I can do.
No matter how often I try to talk to her, she refuses to listen. And that's ok. It's her choice.
I see this pattern quite a lot in people who suffer from illness. My training allows me to predict where they will likely end up.
Yet, even with this insight, I believe I have no right to intervene in another person's life, unless they come to me and ask for help.
When I see someone locked in struggle, I want to say: Just do it. Go for it. You will feel so much better if you leap into the unknown and try something new.
But, taking a leap of faith is not something many people are willing to do.
My patients' successes depend 100 percent on their readiness to explore the unknown.
They must be willing and ready to look inside themselves, to listen to their souls.
By the time most of my clients come to me, they have experienced a period of agony and dismay. That's when they decide: "This is it! I'm done with it. I will try something different to change my life."
Change and healing only happen from the inside out, not the other way around.
You will know when the time is right.
You will feel when it's time to be bold and leap into the unknown.
So so true Tiny! Love this! Andrea
Thank you Andrea!

Photographer Samuel Zuder journeys to Tehran and beyond—and finds the hospitality not just warm but downright humbling.
Iran has a beautiful and diverse landscape," says photographer Samuel Zuder. "But in order to experience the depth of the country, you need to meet the Iranian people."
On a four-week trip, Zuder found that Iranians were happy to welcome him into a world that exists outside the strict rules that govern public life. "Iranians, especially the younger generation, are very well educated and excited about discussing politics and culture with foreigners—especially Westerners," Zuder says. "Every day, someone new invited me into their home to share a meal, or offered to show me around."
"We in the West only see the headlines, but beneath the surface is a world waiting to be explored."
One day, while he was shooting in Tehran, a young man and two young women—all students—approached Zuder and invited him for a drive around the city. Twice, they were stopped by the secret police. The first time, Zuder was accused of giving the women cigarettes, and was asked to leave the car and to stop taking pictures. The second time, after being stopped in a public park, "The students argued with the police officer," Zuder says. "In fact, everyone defended me. An elderly woman sitting on the grass with her granddaughter even asked me to take her photo as a gesture of support."

The first thing Stephan did when he officially turned into a teenager was sweep Rosalinda off her feet and give her a very enthusiastic kiss, which left her breathless and giggling. "What was that for?" she laughed, blushing furiously. Stephan shrugged and put an arm around her.
"I like you, I'm pretty sure you like me, so what's the problem?" he asked with an overly-confident grin. Rosalinda shook her head but she was still smiling.
"No problem at all," she assured him as the two of them began to kiss again. Roxie sighed and shot a glare at Sean.
"He's just like me!" Sean said proudly. Roxie raised an eyebrow.
"He's too much like you, that's the problem," she huffed before stalking away. Sean just shrugged. He knew he used to be a conceited, selfish jerk, but his son was just flirty. There wasn't anything wrong with that, was there? After all, Stephan needed to have a son anyway to hand down the house to.
Not right away, of course, Sean reminded himself. I don't want my boy getting tied down to a girl too quickly and end up like Roxie and myself, but someday. When he finds a girl he likes enough. I don't want to see him end up living with someone he can't really stand just because of an accident in the bedroom, like I did with Roxie, he told himself, but then felt a little guilty. That wasn't entirely fair to Roxie. She wasn't exactly pleasant to live with and she made him want to scream and pull out his hair most of the time, but she was an amazing mother to his kids and a good friend to him. No one else he knew would have stuck around and put up with him for all these years, children or no children.
It soon became very clear which twin was the more productive, driven one. Sarah had been labelled as a genius and gifted child by her school and was now in special classes for gifted students. Every night, she came home, hugged her parents and did her homework faster than lightning before practicing painting at her easel. At first Sean was concerned that she wasn't getting out and socializing enough, but Sarah assured him that she had plenty of friends at school to talk to and hang out with, but that when she was at home, she had other responsibilities to take care of, like homework and refining her painting skill. She'd decided that she wanted to become a Master of the Arts and master both the painting and guitar skills in her lifetime. Of course Roxie encouraged her daughter in the guitar skill and Sean encouraged her in the painting skill. He really wanted those portraits for his house and as Sarah got better with her brush, so did the paintings that she put up around the house. Some of them were actually quite valuable and Sean enjoyed showing off his daughter's paintings to all his friends when they came over. After all, Sean did have expensive taste.
Stephan on the other hand was difficult to deal with. His sister had to drag him to the kitchen table to do any homework and no matter how much she tried to tutor and help her brother, he wouldn't even put an effort into the work and often lashed out at poor Sarah until she cried. He did always come into her room to give her a hug and apologize later, though. They were still twins and still loved each other, after all. Stephan would also skip school a lot to go see Rosalinda or fish in the river near their house. His grades suffered tremendously for it.
"A D?!?" Sean shouted at his son on report card day. "How could you get a D in EVERY subject, Stephan? Music? How could you fail Music of all things? That's not even a real class!"
"Oh please, like you were Mr. Responsible when you were a kid!" Stephan yelled back. "Don't be such a hypocrite, Dad!"
"Don't talk to your father that way! It's disrespectful!" Roxie shrieked.
Sarah hated seeing her brother get yelled at, even if he did deserve it and locked herself in her room to paint when these shouting matches occurred.
Apart from not paying attention to school or his parents' pleas to bring his grades up, Stephan paid a little too much attention to Rosalinda. The two of them quickly started going steady, despite Stephan's horrible fear of commitment and started getting physical with each other. Hey, it's not like I'm marrying her or anything. We're just dating. No big deal, he assured himself whenever he started to feel claustrophobic in the relationship. When Rosalinda started taking her clothes off for him, Stephan decided that this might be a relationship he wanted to stay in. He was sure she would put out for him soon, but he was wrong. Every time he asked for sex, Rosalinda would refuse and jump off the bed to put her clothes back on.
"But we've done like everything else? Why's this any different?" Stephan whined childishly. Rosalinda sighed.
"Stephan, I love you, but… I'm still too young and so are you. I don't want people to think I'm a slut," she reasoned.
"But you're not. You've only been with me!" Stephan protested, jumping out of bed to hold her hands. Despite his arrogance and impatience, he really did care for Rosalinda. In fact, he was pretty sure he loved her. My beautiful Rose, he'd think to himself fondly whenever he saw her. "Look, do you really think I'd go telling everyone about it? I wouldn't. You mean too much to me," he mumbled, going red. Rosalinda bit her lip.
"No, I don't think you would," she admitted.
"Great, then that's settled. Come back to bed," Stephan pleaded, caressing her, but Rosalinda pulled away.
"I said no, Stephan!" she snapped. "I just don't want to! That should be enough reason for you!" Stephan pulled away, hurt. His pride taking over what he knew was right, Stephan shoved her away from him.
"Fine then! Go stay a virgin for the rest of your life! Go be a nun or something, but stay the hell away from me!" he shouted. Rosalinda pulled back, shocked tears springing to her eyes.
"What? What do you mean?" she asked, her bottom lip trembling.
"I'm dumping you! Get the hell out of here! I'm sick of your goody-two-shoes, Mother Mary attitude! We're over!" he snapped, immediately regretting his words, but too stubborn to take them back. Rosalinda burst into tears.
"You never cared about me! I can't believe I fell in love with such a jerk!" she sobbed, running out of the house. Once she'd left, Stephan collapsed on his bed with his head in his hands. He blinked back furious tears, refusing to cry over a girl.
"But I do care about you, Rose… I love you…" he sighed to himself. "I'm an idiot."
Stephan walked around the house like a dejected hobo after that. He didn't shower, he barely ate and he spent most of his time sleeping or sulking. Sean and Roxie were worried about their son and tried to get him to open up, but he'd just yell at them to leave him alone and lock himself in his room. Sarah noticed her brother's apathy and was worried, too, so she tentatively peeked into his room one evening. He was lying on his bed staring blankly at the ceiling. "Hey," she said softly.
"Hey," he mumbled.
"Can I come in?" she asked. Stephan just shrugged so Sarah seated herself on the end of his bed.
"What's up? Mom and Dad are really worried."
"It's none of their business!"
"You want to tell me about it?"
"Not really," Stephan muttered, then eyed his sister for a moment before sighing. "Rose hates me," he admitted.
"Because I'm a stupid jerk, is why," he grumbled. He told his sister all about how he and Rosalinda had gotten into an argument over sex and how he'd put too much pressure on her and was selfish and ended up chasing her away because of his pride. Sarah sighed.
"I'm so glad I don't have a boyfriend," she muttered, then looked at her brother. "So… okay you were a stupid moron, there's no denying that, but why don't you just tell her you're sorry and that you didn't mean what you said?"
"No way!" Stephan protested. "Geeze Sarah, everyone knows you never tell a girl you're sorry! It makes you look like an idiot!" Sarah's eyes narrowed.
"If you ask me, you look like more of an idiot sulking around here in your underwear and picking lice out of your hair!" she snapped.
"I don't have lice!" Stephan snapped, scratching his scalp furiously. "It's dandruff!"
"Whatever," Sarah sighed. "I told you what I think you should do. If you don't want to follow it, that's up to you. You're going to end up really lonely if you don't learn how to pull that stick out of your ass and man up enough to apologize to the people you hurt," she told him bluntly before leaving to go paint.
"Stupid sister…" Stephan grumbled, rolling over, but he knew she was right.

so i haven't posted recently. oops.
the norba nationals were great. i have more pictures from last weekend over at sugar mtn. i'll put up a few.
i have been riding hard trying to train for a string of upcoming mtn bike races. this coming weekend i'm heading to macon, ga for the SERC #7 race. i should also be able to get over to columbus. i'll visit my parents. it will be good to see columbus. partially because i miss it, but partially because it will remind me how much better boone is. yep.
after that weekend, there's the tanasi serc #8 race, then a race down in wilkesboro that is only like 30 minutes from boone. then serc #9 way down in anniston, al. that will be quite a haul from boone. i hope the race starts at 11:30 am on sunday, not 9:30am... i'll be driving until at least 1:00 am i bet. anyways.
oh, so last week i built up some cool wheels. at least i think they're cool. chris king iso disc hubs, wheelsmith 14/16 gauge silver spokes, blue aluminum nipples, dt swiss xr 4.1 d rims. the pictures i have of them do no justice. but it should suffice to say they're 1690 grams. i think i may switch the rims out for stan's ztr in the next few months. who knows. that would take em down to oh, say, 1575 grams or so. blah, gearhead talk.
alright. check out the pictures from todays ride too. ross and i rode about 48 miles. i did a 48 mile ride this past tuesday too. and some really good training rides. intervals, and a great recovery ride. okay, okay, stop typing. picture time.

A 48-year-old Whittier woman, who allegedly stole more than $100,000 from victims throughout Southern California, was ordered Wednesday to stand trial for identity theft in Glendale.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Patrick Hegarty found prosecutors presented sufficient evidence against Natalie Diamond during a preliminary hearing to proceed to a trial after she rejected an earlier offer from prosecutors to spend three years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea.
Diamond, who has been previously convicted of burglary and grand theft, faces three counts of identity theft and one count of grand theft of personal property in connection with illegally withdrawing more than $12,000 from an Altadena woman's bank account.

"Brands have assumed the role of a mother, a friend and even a guardian angel"
A catchy song, some fancy cartoon characters and a story line that shows them trying foolish steps and ending up hurting themselves. No, this wasn't a promo for an upcoming Disney movie. It was an ad campaign launched by Metro trains in Melbourne, Australia, promoting rail safety. The campaign, launched with the theme, 'Dumb Ways to Die' was an instant hit and was soon trending all over on the social media. A decade or two ago, who could have thought that those boring text laden railway safety posters get so interactive? Perhaps, that's the beauty of marketing, it gives you more than expected. The marketers have realized that their job is not to promote the products but to promote the utility that their product serves. When Nike launched its campaign, 'Just Do It', somewhere in the late 1980s, it had similar objectives in mind. Before that it exclusively catered to the sports professionals. But in the 80s, trend to stay fit emerged among the masses and Nike struck at the right time to gain an edge over its primary competitor 'Reebok'. The 'Just Do It' campaign was targeted towards the health conscious people for whom fitness mattered and were willing to toil for it. It encapsulated the feeling that they had, when they were half way down the exercise routine and were about to give up. But then, somewhere from deep within, a voice emerged and coerced them to go on. That voice was 'Just Do It'. And it still inspires people. Here Nike didn't directly promote its brand or product but the very utility that it served. As a result, its sales shot up from $800 million in 1988 to over $9.2 billion by 1998. However, the trends have changed over the years. Now brands don't just sell articles that you buy when you need them but they have assumed the role of a mother (Johnson and Johnson's), a friend (Bagpiper) and even a guardian angel (Max New York). Companies have realized that demand or trend may change but a relationship lasts forever, that's why the campaigns are now addressed in such a way that the customer believes that the brands care about him. When P&G designed its 'Thank You,Mom' campaign for the 2010 Winter Games, it didn't had any particular product in mind. The campaign was aimed to present the brand as the sponsor of moms who toiled and sacrificed to prepare their babies to shine at the world stage. As Mr. Pritchard, P&G Global Brand Building Officer, told in an interview, "We found a lot of times that when people know a brand is from P&G they feel better about the brand", he further added, "And when they know P&G has all these brands, they feel better about P&G." That's how he succinctly sums up the shift that marketing has taken now.
Doing it with a rapture
Marketing is about capturing the imagination of the populace. As the imagination can move forward in leaps and bounds, so marketing has to keep pace. But the challenge has shifted to a different level in the twenty first century, with the emergence of digital technology and social media, the demarcation between the regions has dissolved and this intermingling has posed forward a complex situation for the marketers who now have to cater to a more informed and an ever more global audience. As Marshall McLuhan puts it, "Historians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful daily reflections any society ever made of its whole range of activities." One of the most remarkable marketing campaign of 2014, i.e. the election campaign of BJP stands a testimony to his statement. Even after all these evolutions, the fundamental principles of marketing remain the same. The difference lies in understanding the subtleties and implementing them in innovative and creative ways. The most successful of campaigns aren't the ones which involved some rocket science, but they are the ones which captured something so simple that people had kept ignoring it. The 'Tap Water' campaign by UNICEF was one such initiative. Launched on the World Water Day 2007, the campaign has raised more than $2.5 million till date to support UNICEF's initiative to provide drinking water to poor children. The campaign involved asking people to donate $1 along with their restaurant bill to help UNICEF provide potable water to a child for forty days. The idea behind the campaign, was very simple as explained by Mr. David Droga, the agency founder and creative head of Droga5, the agency behind the campaign. The idea struck his mind when once, upon a casual visit to a restaurant, he was served a glass of drinking water by the waiter, as soon as he took his seat. He put on his thinking cap and wondered that despite so much branding of the water by the companies, one of the largest consumed water, i.e. tap water, remained unbranded. He soon brainstormed to find an idea to brand the tap water and came out with the 'Tap Water Campaign' of UNICEF, where people were asked to pay $1 for that complementary glass of water.
Digital marketing has emerged as one of the greatest disruptors ever, in the field of marketing. The advantage offered is that the marketers can more interactively engage with their audience and the scope for targeted marketing enhances manifold. Digital marketing offers huge depth and breadth in terms of achievable synergy. Here, the brands don't have to invest huge amount of money to get noticed. If the content is good, the consumers themselves act as promoter and in the virtual world; it doesn't take long for something to go viral. The marketing is usually content driven here and is almost impossible for a brand to force something down the throat of a customer until and unless he likes it. But a thing that necessarily needs to be there in a successful digital campaign is creativity and innovation. The 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge' took the concept to a new level. It elicited donation for the ALS patients through an interesting challenge, which was circulated through the online world. The participants had to pour a bucket of ice over them within 24 hours of receiving the challenge, and if, however, they failed to do so, they required to make a donation to the 'ALS Association'. The campaign saw the likes of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, Akshay Kumar, etc. participating and the others like Barack Obama, David Cameron, etc. who politely declined and chose to make a donation instead.
But along with the perks, the digital world also has its disadvantages. The dissatisfied customers can badmouth the company to a much larger extent than they were previously able to do. Amul was at the receiving end in one such incident when Ms. Neha Tomar posted a pic on her Facebook account on 10th October, 2014, showing a packet of 'Amul Gold' milk along with another image attached with it, which depicted a hardened elastic material which she claimed to be the same milk, gone rancid. The matter was soon in public domain with a litany of comments thrashing Amul, which later came out with a clarification accusing Neha to have forged the post and images. Although Amul showed promptness in the above case to divert a fiasco but this incident highlights the potential of the digital media to tarnish the image of a brand by any common dissatisfied customer. A flurry of outrages happened when Flipkart failed to satisfy the customers during its mega sales on 'Big Billion Day'. Brands have to maintain a constant vigil on social media to monitor the news, posts and tweets trending about them. But sometimes this promptness can also be a cause of concern for the brands and may result in embarrassment. Flipkart burnt it hands multiple times when it tried to address the consumer grievances on twitter. One of the famous trolls occurred when a consumer complaint that he was facing problems with the payment gateway while trying to buy an iPhone. When Flipkart asked him to share the details, he replied that there is no Kidney on Delivery option that the people keep talking about. As 19th century US author Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it, "This time like all times is a good one, if we but know what to do with it." The marketing has seized to be an isolated department in brands and now it has shifted more towards the overall functioning of the brand. It involves coherence and a single mistake or non-alignment to the central image can turn into a fiasco. But at the same time, it presents an epochal opportunity for the markets to foray into the segments; they have never gone into before. Marketing has gone through many changes but the challenges and opportunities faced in the present time have been unprecedented. Any reluctance on the part of marketers to adapt to the changes can be suicidal, like the Kodak and Nokia case. The twenty first century has made the marketers realize the intransigency of presence like never before. The brand can be the leader in a segment on one day and can be finished the other due to lack of imagination. So, marketing has to integrate itself with the brand in such a way that neither the employees nor the customers can distinguish between the two. This is going to be the key in the coming times. Because only in such a case, it will be able to form a long-term relation with the customer and gain the loyalty, which is much needed to survive in the long term.

Opening reception for artists Yeshua David & Emma Vescio
Music by DJ NateKodi
Yeshua David, originally from New York, moved to Pittsburgh in 2014 and began to pursue an interest in photography that quickly became a passion. His photography primarily focuses on people and their immediate environment. Yeshua prefers candid or improv, as to him, it captures the moment and subject in their most authentic light. He is currently exploring and documenting intimate moments and stories within Pittsburgh's Black neighborhoods in, "Blackburgh." His exhibit will include pieces from Blacksburgh as well as shots gathered from his gallivanting around the city. He will incorporate this series in an upcoming photojournalistic magazine called "American Soup."
Emma Vescio is a Pittsburgh artist. Her work draws from introverted tendencies, black and white photography, an over-analyzation of anything floral, and femininity. Combining her talents of photography, painting, and poetry, Emma allows her work to express her thoughts and feelings.

Genevieve E. T. Barbee-Turner & Marcel Lamont Walker: MWFA Resident Artists

Music by When The Planets - Ambient Set w/ Live Painting by Casey Worthing
A Contemporary History of People, Place, and Things
Genevieve Barbee-Turner is an artist and illustrator working under the banner of The AP Collection and a Resident Artist at Most Wanted Fine Art. For September Unblurred, The AP Collection unveils a deck of cards featuring people, places, and odd things in Pittsburgh. These illustrations capture the change over the past four years in the regions. Subjects in the cards are all past interviewees of The AP Collection podcast and That's What You're Good At—a contemporary visual history of Pittsburgh, _told through colorful and fantastic depictions of a slice of life from the people who live here. Through these projects Genevieve Barbee-Turner has interviewed over 300 people and from those, a selection were chosen to represent court cards of a deck. Each person's suit and rank has been chosen to reflect both their personal accomplishments and their contribution to the community. They reflect the diverse communities within the city and the blend of old places and new ideas in Pittsburgh.
Genevieve Barbee-Turner creates artwork rooted in collected experiences from the people, places, and things she encounters. Talking to people inspires her drawings, paintings, and prints. She regularly records interviews before creating her portraits, channeling their words in her work. Since the tender age of two (at the displeasure of her parents) she has chatted easily with total strangers—interested in what they have to say and learning from everyone she meets (even if it's what not to do). She's learned a lot by letting others lead. While The AP Collection is not overtly political in nature, the artist behind it and the people she collaborates with believe strongly that everyone has value and deserves an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable planet.

6 - 10pm
TO TELL THE TROOF: Marcel Lamont (M.L.) Walker
TO TELL THE TROOF is the first solo-gallery show for Pittsburgh artist Marcel Lamont (M.L.) Walker, showcasing highlights from the last several years of his work. Walker is a multi-disciplinarian who works predominantly in the narrative art form of graphic prose, expressed through the medium of comic books and comics-themed illustration. TO TELL THE TROOF showcases a range of artwork that shares a thematic social quality, and utilizes comic-book art to both inform and entertain. While no Black Auteurs (writer-artists) have achieved wide recognition in the field of graphic prose to date, Walker is striving to become an example he hopes to one-day see as commonplace.
The exhibit will include original art from Walker's independently published comic-book series HERO CORP., INTERNATIONAL, which is set in Pittsburgh. Also, there will be work the artist has done for projects such as CHUTZ-POW! SUPERHEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST for The Holocaust Center of Greater Pittsburgh, HEROES AND INSPIRATIONS for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and COMIC-TANIUM!, a nationally-touring arts-and-sciences exhibit, among others.
In the Spring of 2016, Walker became the recipient of an award from the Advancing Black Arts in Pittsburgh Fund, made possible by The Pittsburgh Foundation and The Heinz Endowments, for the production of the next issue of HERO CORP., INTERNATIONAL. This is scheduled to be completed in January 2017. Walker also received an Artists Opportunity Grant from the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, which was used in the preparation of this show.

(Our) Liberation: (Our) Recipes & (Our) Secrets is an exhibition by Michael David Battle exploring survival and liberation as it connects to tools and resources available to navigate oppression and violence. Through performance, writing, food, herbs, and visual art, the exhibition is a space of healing that invokes spiritual ritual and ceremony of the African and indigenous diaspora. It challenges ideas around resistance and art and who has access to create, claim and reclaim spaces. "This exhibition is a celebration of the recipes and secrets we have manifested and designed for our own survival in a system that would rather see us dead." https://www.facebook.com/events/1123163104424737/

My One Little Word for 2011 is COURAGE. I want to use this word in everything I do. So with Verri Charmed it means I want to have the courage to move out of my comfort zone and push the boundries. Currently I've added nappy covers and skirts to my regular range and then just this week I've started something new and exciting:
This is bunting is made from hand cut pages from a 1960's golden book. I was so thrilled with the outcome and I will be debuting these at the next Lollipop Market on the 20th of Feb.
Yesterday was Australia Day.... it's one of my favourite days of the year. It was strange to realise yesterday though that it had been just over a year since we had our scary hospital stay with M when she had breathing difficulties at 5 weeks. It now makes me smile to know how much has changed since then.
We celebrated yesterday with a trip to the zoo and fish and chips on the beach for my niece Lilli's 7th birthday. The perfect day really!

Sunset at Palo Verde and the end of a fantastic days birding (c) Richard Brown
Waterbirds were everywhere. Black-bellied Whistling-ducks provided the bulk of the numbers but a huge variety of birds were feeding with them. Northern Jacanas (pictured below) were walking among the vegetation, occasionally flapping their yellow-green wings to escape the attentions of prowling American Crocodiles (and making plenty of noise to alert any other birds in the vicinity).

AKA Lovin' That Old Gang of Mine
Three boys — Tom, Andy and Nick — and a girl named Alex, all grew up on the same cul-de-sac, on the outskirts of town, and are thick as thieves. During the summer between school and college, the freshly turned 18 foursome decide on one last hurrah!
And it all comes down to one fateful night, at the exclusive estate belonging to Tom's Uncle Phil. Alex, who had always dated other guys, because she couldn't pick between the three she loved most, suddenly realizes she has wasted a lot of time.
Now, despite never having been with a man, she wants to change all of that.
With all three young men in one night.
At the same time.
SYNDY LIGHT: Found out at the last minute that Amazon doesn't allow you to use the word "Bang" or any variation thereof in a title! And I thought I was going to get one over on them by splitting up the word "gangbang" (also banned). The joke was on me! My first attempt at writing a gangbang AND a virgin deflowering story. I think it came out pretty well, especially the sex parts.

Hi everybody.
I've historically posted on Sweating for Bucks forum, so hello everybody.
A small but significant gloat. After years of taking out The Soul of a Tree by George Nakashima from the public library, my wife bought it for me! It arrived yesterday eve.
No reason. She just wanted me to have my own copy after years of admiring this man and his approach to his life and his work.
Looks like I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying what promises to be a religious experience….

CHELMSFORD -- Concert pianist Carolyn Enger will present her multimedia performance project, "Mischlinge Expose," on Sunday, March 5, at 2 p.m., at the Chelmsford Center for the Arts.
A little-known aspect of the Holocaust, the Mischlinge project sought to identify Jews of mixed heritage. Mischlinge is a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan.
Interweaving video and audio testimony from Enger's godmother and godfather with the music of German-Jewish-born composers (Mahler, Mendelssohn, Schoenberg and others) from the salon period just before the war, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century.
Tickets are $15, or $10 for students and senior citizens. Visit www.chelmsfordarts.org for more information.

The title of this post is pretty much how I feel right now. Due to a bad night's sleep, allergies, a long day, and way too much sake at the sushi place tonight, I have a massive, excruciating headache and have no desire to blog at the moment. I know it's been a pretty light week reading/blog-wise and I apologize. I write all of my morning posts at night and tonight I'm just too tired and in pain. I'm not even going to answer comments tonight.
By the time you all read this I will hopefully be the recipient of a good night's sleep and can be up tomorrow ready to face my ten-hour work day. I'm giving up on Working for the Devil for now. I've read it before and I know that I like it (and would like to read the rest of the series) but it's taken me a week to get 75% of the way through it and I really just want to move onto something else. I've already started Incarceron and I'm so confused. Hopefully things start to make sense soon.
I'll be reworking my reading list for June and will have that post up either late Friday or Saturday.

Getty's five-year conference engages theology, the arts, and song.
Ed: So first, tell me how the Getty Music Worship Conference, Sing!, went a few weeks ago.
Keith: It was amazing. We had a wonderful lineup of speakers. But most importantly, it's really helping individuals, families, and churches to grow and thrive. It was year two of five for the conference and the theme was taken from the Psalms.
We had three different groups in attendance. We had those engaged in theology who were looking at really deep and rich theology. We had artists and vibrant artistry—those who are creatives, musicians, or involved in choirs and orchestras. Then, we have leaders of music in churches and in homes. We had a lot of worship leaders in that group, but we also had over 400 people who lead children's music as well.
When these three groups come together, it's an extraordinary and innovative explosion. You end up with these beautiful moments of inspiration, color, and beauty, combined with such powerful, thoughtful praise. The dissection of all that happens during the conference takes place in seminars, late at night, and over meals throughout our time together.
All of us ended up experiencing the peace of the Lord and a reassurance that this was an important event. It's really been a privilege to be a small part of it.
Ed: For next year, you're leading in with the theme about the life of Christ. Tell me more about this shift.
Keith: Well, I originally put together a five-year plan.
For the first year we decided to look at the congregational singing 500 years after Luther and the Reformation year. Then, we took on the Psalms, because that's the Bible's songbook. In year three, we're going through the life of Christ, and in year four we will be singing through the Scriptures. …

One woman doing her part to break the silence that surrounds infertility.
Tuesday, November 01, 2011
Obviously I don't like that this holiday is distinguished for me by being less hard than it is for many infertiles, but I'll take what I can get.
2 comments:
I'm glad that Halloween didn't really bother you. I wish I could say the same for me. I actually wrote a blog post about my Halloween experience. Now, when Christmas rolls around, I'm gonna really be an emotional wreck.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I saw your post, and it was part of what prompted mine. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my two favorite holidays, and I think I'm going to be ok. Two years ago they were both hard because I had hoped to be telling family members I was pg and I wasn't. Last year I didn't have hope to even be able to get my hopes up, and it was easier that way. I was then able to focus on the things I love about both holidays and on having done things with my mom rather than on not being able to do things with kids.ReplyDelete

EXOGEN's patent pending material combination meets current scientific standards for improving recovery and performance with compression clothing. Additionally our innovative adjustable compression straps allow the best fit and offer you;
– Greater comfort
– Easy on and off
– Compression adjustments
– Secure anchoring during loading
During unloaded use EXOGEN functions as a high-performance compression garment. Once on, anchor the strap comfortably without tension. This can be adjusted individually based on your fit and comfort. If at any-time you feel it is too tight, uncomfortable or there is reduced circulation, open the straps and re-adjust with less or no tension. We recommend do not apply full tension of the straps either LOADED or un-LOADED for longer than 30 minutes.
EXOGEN's integrated thermo-regulation system combines several key components to improve evaporative cooling.
MICROCOOLING™ – 3M SCOTCHGUARD®moisture management inner wicking layer quickly moves sweat and heat away from the skin to the outer layers.
MESOCOOLING™ – 3D COOLMAX® wicking mesh allows maximal breathability in the intermediate sweat zones of the neck, chest, under-arm, lower back and groin.
MACROCOOLING™ – our patent pending Spirale-perforations allow direct skin-on-air evaporative cooling, rapidly funnelling sweat and heat away from the body which directly improves evaporative cooling by over 20%.
Our design construction is engineered following the body's natural fascial-helix support system. Fascia is the connective-tissue forming a continuous matrix around the body following a 3-D helix structure to support multi-planar movement around your body's two major rotational, focal points:
EXOGEN's innovative fascial-helix construction and material patterns are not only stylish but are designed to move naturally with you, facilitating your fascial helix support and allowing unrestricted multi-direction, natural human movement.
EXOGEN's innovative, built-in postural straps provide functional compression support to your core and lumbar region like nothing you've used before. Unlike bulky weight-belts or restrictive back supports this provides a functional increase in intra-abdominal pressure during exercise without the restrictions on movement and breathing.
Exercise, training and competition can quickly fatigue postural muscles even during light activity. This is especially true for athletes or people with chronic low back pain or a recent back injury. Our functional support straps are 100% adjustable so you can regulate the support as needed when the intensity of your activity or the loading of your exoskeleton increases.
Our Fusiform LOADS are biomechanically engineered to follow your natural muscle architecture allowing gravitational mobility. This basically means they can bend and flex according to gravity with little restriction allowing streamlined application to body contours even during movement. A feature unlike anything you have experienced or felt before.
FUSIFORM, FULL-FLEX LOADS not only allow you to target specific muscles but specific movements and skill patterns, something unprecedented in current resistance training methods
The key to EXOGEN'S design and performance is our patent-pending, EXOPRENE™ material which offers not only base compression but a level of support and function unlike anything available on the market today. This unique material blend offers you the very best in style, comfort and safety with the combined effects of Integrated-thermoregulation©, Scotchguard® wicking, AEGIS® eco-friendly, anti-microbial treatment, and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Certified human safe materials making EXOPRENE one of the most advanced high-performance materials available today.

Lead Developer
As I mentioned in my previous post, I would like to get into the habit of posting a weekly development update. Mondays seem to be the most logical day to me, as I consider them the first day of my development week.
While the previous week I spent gathering together all the pieces I needed to work on the source code, this week I dived in and started to add things to it. At this point, I don't have a full picture of how everything works and where everything is implemented, but Shane writes good code, so I'm picking it up very quickly. Obviously, I'm not going to try implementing anything particularly large until I am comfortable with all the code.
Changes this week, therefore, have been very minor. I tweaked the layout of some of the user interfaces pieces that had become misaligned with the new theme, spent some time cleaning up the way objects come into view in the distance now that the fog is no longer hiding it, fixed a skipping bug in music playback, and worked out a better way to play back 'emote' animations.
Currently, my task list for an 'alpha testing platform' is sitting at 23 items, 5 of which I have crossed of in the past 2 weeks. Of course, that was all easy stuff. Next week things should get interesting, and hopefully, be a bit more visual.

EAFocus was at the Rochester Rotary Club lunch on July 2 at Rotary Park in Downtown Rochester. Peter Fornasiero (who recently joined North American Bankcard's Pay Anywhere team) and I were Barb's guests. The luncheon was the first meeting led by newly elected Rotary President Jay Eastman, M.D., and a new statue for the park's pond was revealed that was donated by Rotarian Marty McClure.

The world of issues focused PR
One of the most common questions most individuals get asked once of "working age" is: What do you do for a living? My response, "I work for a Rochester-based public relations firm." Sometimes I get a blank stare because public relations (PR) can relate to so many avenues or be confused with marketing and/or advertising – but that's for a different blog post.
When someone gets the basic gist of PR, a common follow up question is "well what type of PR do you do?" And this is where I love the conversation to go! My response? "Well, EAFocus is an issues-focused public relations firm. We have clients ranging from medical organizations and physicians to CPAs and attorneys to municipalities and school districts." I gather in most circumstances people are trying to figure out, what do you do all day? Here's the answer.While I can't sell the secret sauce of EAFocus, I will tell you my job requires me on a daily basis to be current on the latest issues. That means reading the newspaper (yes, the actual paper that can still get ink smudges on your fingers), listening to various talk-radio programs during my commute (who knew the AM stations were broadcasting through the car of a mid-twenty year old!), watching news broadcasts on both the local and national level (I do watch more than Nashville and The Real Housewives) and keeping up on industry trends for all of our clients. From there, it is a matter of understanding what the issues and topics most relevant to each client are and how trends and issues taking place on both a local and national level affect them. Whether there is a local story that has the potential to gain national interest or a national story that has a local tie, EAFocus stays abreast on the hot button issues to make sure our client's stories relating to these topics are being shared with the right audience at the right time.
Beyond my need for news, working for EAFocus and our wonderful clients provides the opportunity to work on projects tied to fascinating (well, in my book at least!) issues. Since the first of the year we have had the opportunity to be involved with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's (MEDC) Community Ventures program through one of our clients, gained insight into the ways plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are expected to expand and the roles cities will play in the adoption of their infrastructure thanks to the efforts of another EAFocus client and developed a greater understanding of the impact on patent trolls in business and even the public sector, courtesy of another client. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
In addition to my news addiction, I have always enjoyed meeting people. EAFocus and our clients have provided numerous opportunities to attend networking and similar type events. From meeting local leaders and the Governor of Michigan to other young professionals and business leaders, let me just say, I love my job and I never lack for being surrounded by interesting people!
Does your organization need to communicate important issues to your clients or constituents? EAFocus can help.

Astronaut John Young leaps from lunar surface to salute flag
Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the lunar surface as he salutes the U.S. Flag at the Descartes landing site during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-1). Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, took this picture. The Lunar Module (LM) "Orion" is on the left. The Lunar Roving Vehicle is parked beside the LM. The object behind Young in the shade of the LM is the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph. Stone Mountain dominates the background in this lunar scene.

Sound issues
An I the only one whose music will stop once I open the app? I don't like this, it is disruptive during podcasts. Now it is happening so that I cannot play music during the games at all. If this isn't some issue with settings that I haven't figured out then please fix this. My game sounds and music are toggled off.
As of 5.0, the game will respect your music and not play in-game music if you have music or podcasts playing;

I think there's still an issue with music. If I listen to Google Play Music on iOS 11, the music starts crackling when interacting with the app.
'tori commented
This happens to me too - it drives me crazy! one of my favorite ways to relax is to play this game & listen to podcasts/audiobooks. After I open the gme I have to go close the podcast app and reopen it & then i can usually listen & play. I've never had an app do this except youtube or something like that - but that makes sense. Is there some reason for this?
