4th Annual George Miller Art Show Opens Today
Organizers of the 4th Annual George Miller Art Show (GMAS) have announced that they will award more than $5000 in scholarship money to North Arlington art students at this year's event. Created as a non-profit charity to honor the 30-year career of one of North Arlington High School's most beloved teachers, the GMAS will be held today, April 4, 2013 in the North Arlington Public Library.
Established in 2009 by Andrea Jennings and Daniel Marck, former NAHS students of Mr. Miller, GMAS features the fine art and sculpture work of current elementary, middle and high school students in North Arlington. It also supports the George Miller Art Scholarship Program, funded by donations from parents and NJ businesses. In addition to showcasing the art of North Arlington students, the GMAS will also hold a silent auction so attendees can purchase original student art pieces.
"The growth of the George Miller Art Show has been a welcome development but not a total surprise," says Mr. Marck, one of the GMAS founders. "George was so loved, and his spirit was so generous, the people who knew him are determined to keep his legacy alive and thriving."
Mr. Miller taught at NAHS from 1962 until 1993, the year that he died. He was an accomplished painter himself, and his artwork, often incorporating the Egyptian "ankh" symbol, is used to guide themes for the annual art shows.
This year's GMAS will also feature two prominent guest speakers:Dr. Tina H. Snider, Owner and Director of the Chatham Mental Health Center, and Patricia Flicker Addiss, a well-known Broadway producer whose most recent production was A Christmas Story - The Musical. Dr. Snider will speak on the importance of art in our schools and its impact on building a child's self-esteem. Ms. Addiss will discuss the role of arts in our society and how it deeply enriches the lives of children and adults. Ms. Addiss is also involved in anti-bullying initiatives and will briefly touch on ways that promotion of the arts increases tolerance.
Beyond touching the lives of art students in North Arlington and neighboring communities, event organizers have ambitious hopes for the future of GMAS. Plans are already being made for the creation of The George Miller Center for the Arts. The center will be become a focal point for cultural enrichment and art education for students who intend to pursue a lifelong career in the arts.
"At a time when violence in our schools is a hard reality, the healing power of art and the peaceful spirit of George Miller have inspired us to come together once again for this positive community experience," says Ms. Jennings, who now owns MadCreek Advertising, an Upper Montclair agency that helps sponsor the GMAS. "We hope that everyone will come out to celebrate George's life and his enormous contributions to our community, and to ensure a 4th successful GMAS."

Stevens - 66
Farmingdale State - 55
Hoboken, N.J. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team dropped to third place in the Skyline tonight with a 66-55 loss to Stevens (14-3, 7-1) in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Rams fall to 11-4, 7-2 with the loss and have seven conference games remaining this season, including a re-match with Stevens and two big games against 2nd place Mount Saint Mary and 4th place Old Westbury.
Farmingdale led after the first as a last second Kimberly Blakney (Brooklyn, NY/Benjamin Banneker) three-pointer gave the Rams a 26-23 edge. The second half was close and the score was tied three times. But with a 45-45 game and 5:34 left on the clock, Stevens used a 14-1 run to take a commanding 13-point lead. Farmingdale cut the deficit back down to seven but could not recover after Stevens made seven free throws in the final minute of play.
Junior guard Christine Daley (Elmont, NY/Elmont) led the Rams with 22 points, including five from downtown, while also grabbing five rebounds and four steals. Blakney finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and three steals.
For Stevens, four players finished in double figures. Jean Matusiak posted 22 points, Dora Enright had 15 points and 20 rebounds, Brittany Fuller had 11 points and Sara Gehring tallid 10 points and grabbed 10 boards.
The Rams will travel to face Old Westbury on Wednesday, January 24th for a 7:00pm conference game. The Panthers are currently in 4th place in the Skyline.

- Jim Russell: markets want steady growth in jobs
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
"Today's ADP numbers should be taken not in isolation but as a part March data package – together with the ISM and jobless claims figures, they indicate a nice progression growing at moderate rate," said Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
It appears that cold winter weather and not something fundamental held back the growth and resulted in weakness.
Looking ahead, markets want a steady pace of jobs growth, not too cold and not too hot. A big jump, such as north of 275,000 jobs, might force the Fed to speed up tapering and at that point 'good news' might become 'bad news'.

"Low-flation," particularly in the euro area, is an emerging risk to advanced economies, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said Wednesday. "A potentially prolonged period of low inflation can suppress demand and output-and suppress growth and jobs," she said at the School of Advanced International Studies as she called for more monetary easing by the European Central Bank and continued action by the Bank of Japan.

- Bond report
- by Ben Eisen
- Add a Comment
Treasury yields are up Wednesday, on track for their fourth consecutive day of rises as the 10-year note yield jumps 4.5 basis points to 2.80%. The rise in yields and corresponding drop in prices reverses the predominant direction of the last three months, when benchmark 10-year notes had their best quarter since 2012. Read more in the bond report.
While we are talking about last quarter, high-grade companies sold the second most amount of debt on record in the first three months of the year. Much of that was a rush to take advantage of borrowing costs that are still historically low, but companies are also seeing increased incentives to enact pro-shareholder plans, which are often financed with debt.

From Steve Goldstein: Lockhart: First hike shouldn't come until H2 2015
The first rate hike is not likely to be warranted until at least the last half of next year, Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said Wednesday. He bases that assessment on sustained GDP growth in the neighborhood of 3%, and said if that progress doesn't materialize, then a later liftoff date would be appropriate. Like Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, Lockhart talks of a "dashboard" of economic indicators including the jobless rate, marginally attached workers, those working part-time but wanting full-time employment , labor market turnover and wages. He wants to see both a drop in the headline and the so-called underemployment, or U6 gauge, as well as a tightening of the gap between them. Lockhart will become a voting Federal Open Market Committee member in 2015.

Bluetooth mouse
This article describes how to set up a Bluetooth mouse manually with no desktop assistance for Bluetooth. For example, a minimalist XFCE installation.
You need the bluez package from the extra repository.
Start Bluetooth service
The pertinent options in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth are
after that, start bluetooth services with
# systemctl enable bluetooth.service # systemctl start bluetooth.service
kernel modules
No additional actions are necessary if the bluetooth service is started using systemd. If it does not work try following.
The command
# modprobe -v btusb bluetooth hidp l2cap
loads the kernel modules you need, if they were not loaded automatically.
The following command should show your bluetooth adapter:
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: 00:22:43:E1:82:E0 ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:1062273 acl:62061 sco:0 events:778 errors:0 TX bytes:1825 acl:11 sco:0 commands:39 errors:0
Configure Bluetooth Mouse
The method described here is based in three steps, in this order:
- Make the PC learn about the bluetooth mouse.
- Grant the mouse permissions to connect.
- Make the mouse learn about the PC.
Search your mouse
First make your mouse discoverable. For example some mouse need to press a button. Then issue the following command as root:
# hcitool scan
Scanning ... 00:07:61:F5:5C:3D Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b
Your mouse bluetooth address will be similar to
12:34:56:78:9A:BC. You may also find it in the documentation or on the mouse itself.
Connecting the mouse
hidd --search hcitool inq
are good for device scanning (I needed to use sudo for 'hidd --search' to automatically connect mouse, searching worked even without sudo).
hidd --connect <bdaddr>
to actually connect.
hidd --show
will show your currently connected devices. The mouse should show up in this list. If it does not, press the reset button to make it discoverable.
Note: If you have the ipw3945 module loaded (wifi on HP computer) the bluetooth wont work.
Connecting the mouse at startup
Edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth:
# Arguments to hidd HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address>"
and test the new settings:
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop hidd --killall (drop mouse connection) /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
Note: The above instructions to start the mouse at startup do not work with the now outdated 3.11 bluetooth packages. New versions such as the current (3.32) packages are not affected. If you are using an older version, then to start the mouse at startup, add:
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
to your /etc/rc.local file.
Note #2: You can connect any bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard without any further configuration and without knowing the device address. You can do it by adding the --master and/or --server option in HIDD_OPTIONS depending on your device.
Configuring through bluetoothctl
Since `bluez>=5` there is bluetoothctl util, that provide simple interface to configuring bluetooth devices.
For example, configuring autoconnect bluetooth mouse can be done as described above:
# bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# list Controller <cmac> BlueZ 5.5 [default] [bluetooth]# select <cmac> [bluetooth]# power on [bluetooth]# scan on /// enable scanning mode on your mouse [bluetooth]# devices Device <mmac> Name: Bluetooth Mouse [bluetooth]# trust <mmac> [bluetooth]# pairable on [bluetooth]# pair <mmac> [bluetooth]# connect <mmac>
Troubleshooting tips
Mouse lag
If you experience mouse lag you can try to increase the polling rate. There is a wiki article describing the procedure: Mouse Polling Rate.
Problems with the USB dongle
If you have trouble with your USB dongle, you may also want to try
# modprobe -v rfcomm
At this point, you should get an hci0 device with
# hcitool dev
Sometimes the device is not active right away - try starting the interface with
# hciconfig hci0 up
and searching for devices as shown above.

Students whose parents are missionaries in Mexico presented several gifts from the country to Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife, Becki, on Friday to show their appreciation for scholarships to attend LU. Among the gifts were a plate from Puebla, a teakwood tray, Oaxaca pottery and a hand-painted coaster set. The sophomore and junior students were Katie Smith, Aaron Johnson, Andrea Flagg, Vasti Ortega, and Emily Boyter.
"As missionaries, our parents don't necessarily make a lot of money, and when God opens the doors financially for us to go somewhere, that's where we end up going. We are so grateful to Liberty University for providing for us financially and allowing us to come and get an education at a Christian school," said Boyter, a 19-year-old who is studying English as a Second Language.
Chancellor Falwell said he deeply appreciated the gifts and that LU has a continued commitment to helping children of missionaries and pastors attend the school.

Governor's Ag Conference to Examine Big Picture Issues, Long-Term Outlook - UNL CropWatch 2012
December 19, 2012
Speakers to Address Future of Biotechnology, Livestock Production in the State
"A Platform for Nebraska Agriculture's Future" will be the theme of the 2013 Governor's Ag Conference. The conference, which will be celebrating its 25th anniversary, will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, February 12-13, at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney.
Tyson Redpath
Ronnie Green
Jerry Hagstrom
"We have selected speakers to address big picture topics that will challenge conference attendees to think about the long-term future of Nebraska agriculture," said Gov. Heineman. "Livestock production methods, biotechnology and farm policy will all be addressed, giving the farmers, ranchers and agribusiness leaders in attendance a variety of issues to discuss."
"This 25th anniversary conference comes at what I think is a pivotal time for the agricultural industry," said Nebraska's Ag Director Greg Ibach. "While we need to get through the months ahead, we also need to plan for our future in the coming decades. I think our line-up of speakers will challenge us to think that way."
Dr. Roger Beachy, with the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, Mo., will kick off the conference with a discussion about the future of biotechnology, and how new research and policy considerations may influence opportunities for Nebraska. Beachy was previously director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the United States Department of Agriculture.
Two speakers have been asked to address the future of livestock production in the state. Tyson Redpath with The Russell Group of Arlington, Va., will discuss the effects of state animal welfare laws on interstate commerce. Redpath worked previously on the staff of House Speaker John Boehner. Dr. Ronnie Green, vice chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will discuss a UNL analysis of Nebraska's position within the United States as a food producer now, and in the future.
Jerry Hagstrom, with the Hagstrom Report, will provide an analysis of current activity in Washington, D.C., that could affect Nebraska agriculture, including the status of the farm bill, results of activity related to the federal budget and overall deficit, and other federal action that may influence the future for farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses. Hagstrom is a well-known agriculture journalist, commentator and author and is a North Dakota native.
Other activities will include a report by State Climatologist Al Dutcher on the year ahead in weather, and the "Celebrate Nebraska Agriculture" reception.
The conference begins at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12. A reception at 6 p.m. Feb. 12 will feature a wide variety of Nebraska food products, and Nebraska entertainers including magician Adam White and cowboy poet R. P. Smith.
A $100 registration fee covers participation at activities on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Registration is available online at www.agr.ne.gov, or by calling NDA toll-free at (800) 831-0550.

Heavy Periods — Iron/Hemoglobin Levels
I have been having very heavy periods after stopping the pill a few years ago. I am now 44. My hair is beginning to get thinner. I am taking iron supplements, but my iron/ferritin levels are a little low. However, my hemoglobin level is borderline high.
1. Is endometrial ablation contraindicated in someone with a bicornuated uterus?
2. What would cause low iron but high hemoglobin?
3. How much iron supplementation per day is needed to replenish iron stores?
Answered by Dr. Jonathan Schaffir:
1. Endometrial ablation is a procedure through which the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is destroyed by a variety of techniques. Ablation can be performed with heat, freezing, electrical current, or microwave energy. Various tools are available to perform this procedure, each with a slightly different design.
A bicornuate uterus is one in which the uterine cavity is divided into two horns, creating more surface area from which bleeding can occur. Most of the devices that perform ablation are not designed to conform to a cavity of this shape. Of those that are available, the device that uses circulating hot water to scald the endometrium is the one most likely to be used on a bicornuate uterus. Of course, the decision of whether or not an ablation is appropriate also depends on factors that have to do with your health and other gynecological concerns, so it is best to discuss the matter with your gynecologist.
2. You can have a normal hemoglobin, but yet still have low iron stores. This can be seen in either a developing anemia or in one that is getting better.
As for the questions on iron stores and iron supplementation, they would best be answered by a specialist in blood and blood diseases. That answer appears below.
Answered by Dr. Spero Cataland:
3. In general you need about 100-150 mg of elemental iron per day to treat an iron deficiency anemia. You can find the amount of elemental iron in each pill on the side of the bottle. Typically you need 6 months to completely replenish your iron stores, but that is also dependent on the amount of ongoing iron/blood loss.

Never has there been a fruit that polarizes like durian; a light green, spiny, melon-like fruit from southeast Asia tastes delicate, creamy, and bittersweet. Here are four little known facts about the fruit that we love to hate or hate to love.
Have you tried durian? What sort of ways have you eaten durian? Do you know of any other countries that have a ban on durian in public places?
when I was in Hong Kong, i tired durian creme brulee. It was really good - you couldn't smell the durian in the creme brulee. i won't go near the fresh stuff at all.

Nadine Gordimer:
An Inventory of Her Short Stories and Novel at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
Biographical Sketch
Nadine Gordimer, novelist and short story writer, was born in Springs, South Africa, in 1923. She spent her childhood in Transvaal, and began writing at an early age, publishing her first short story, "Come Again Tomorrow," when she was 15. At 21, Gordimer briefly attended Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg where she was exposed to the social and political atmosphere of South Africa, which would become the focus of her works. Gordimer married twice -- first in 1949 to G. Gavron, with whom she has a daughter, and then to Reinhold Cassirer in 1954. They have a son.
Gordimer remained in Johannesburg and her works reflect the racially turbulent themes of South Africa's history. She has published ten novels. Her first was the semi-autobiographical The Lying Days (1953), which was followed by A World of Strangers (1958), Occasion for Loving (1963), The Late Bourgeois World (1966), A Guest of Honour (1971), The Conservationist (1974), Burger's Daughter (1979), July's People (1981), A Sport of Nature (1987), and My Son's Story (1990).
Gordimer's short stories have been published in various magazines such as the New Yorker, Harpers, and the Yale Review. They have also been published in several collections, including Face to Face (1949), Friday's Footprint (1960), and most recently, Jump (1991).
Nadine Gordimer received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. She continues to live in and write about South Africa.

.comment: Peace in Our Time?
Weird and Confusing Events
What a week--and it's only Wednesday.
On Monday, Trolltech, the developers of the Qt libraries against which KDE is built, announced that as of today Qt-2.2 is licensed under the GNU General Public License. On Tuesday, Richard M. Stallman, founder of the organized free software movement, gave Qt and KDE his blessing --sort of. (He may have, later in the day, pronounced KDE illegal after all.)
Still later yesterday Nat Friedman and Miguel de Icaza, founding developers of Gnome and the leaders of Helix Code, spoke of their project and KDE in largely conciliatory tones.
The score so far: Trolltech has done everything Stallman had demanded of it, but its position in the eyes of the Stallman faction seems little changed. Meanwhile, the leaders of Gnome say they are ready to call a halt to any real or perceived hostilities and let users make their choices based on the quality of the code.
From QPL to GPL--Is There No Satisfying the Man?
Qt has been licensed under something called the QPL, the important parts of which are that it is and shall forever be free for noncommercial use, but if you plan to develop a closed-source, commercial application, you'll need to pay for a license from Trolltech. The license is sufficiently liberal that the Free Software Foundation's board approved it unanimously.
This was not enough for Stallman, however; "flexible" is among the minority of adjectives that have never been used to describe him. And so, now, Qt comes under the GPL, too. The move has been roundly praised, though that from Stallman has been faint and damning.
In addition, he seems confused as to the difference between the GPL and the law. Many of us, no doubt, would jump at the opportunity to create a law or two by fiat; most of us differ with Stallman in that we know that we do not have the power to decree laws. In his Linux Today article yesterday, he pronounces various aspects of KDE as not being legal--something that he has no standing whatsoever to do. His GPL has never been before a judge. Its validity is entirely unknown. If he thought that KDE were illegal and he thought that the GPL were enforcable, he would, one might think, have taken it all to court by now. He hasn't.
He claims that putting Qt under the GPL isn't enough.
"Misusing a GPL-covered program permanently forfeits the right to distribute the code at all. Such situations have occurred in KDE, and now they ought to be cleaned up," he wrote. Authors of GPLed code used in KDE must grant "forgiveness" to KDE before the code may be legally distributed, he said. And as a sign of goodwill or something he granted blanket forgiveness for all the code owned by the FSF used in KDE--which is less than it appears to be, in that there seems to be little or no FSF-controlled code in KDE. (This could explain why KDE's developers were never taken to court: with none of FSF's code in the project, the FSF could not claim to be an injured party and would therefore be without standing. Stallman called on all authors whose GPLed code had been used in KDE to grant forgiveness, too. But again, there's been no deafening outcry from developers who thought themselves wronged, and not a single case of a developer who felt sufficiently harmed to march into court waving the GPL and demanding justice.)
Mid-morning yesterday, a post that purported to be from Stallman appeared on Slashdot . In it, the poster said that until everybody has granted "forgiveness," KDE remains "illegal" and should not be used or distributed. During the night, the poster confessed that the message was a forgery, saying that as ridiculous as it was, it was entirely believable. There was a URL associated with the post that took me to a page that I hoped was a hoax, because it left me with the distinct impression that it sought to depict someone who had made that sad step from being colorful to becoming a full-blown nutcase. My hope was dashed, though, when I found that the GNU homepage has a link to it. I think that those who follow Stallman would do themselves a favor by reading the page in its entirety.

Phil Fisk needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
I had this website developed by someone that did a pretty good job with the functionality of the website. However, I have not been happy with the banners on the front page.
I need this to look attractive and welcoming
Business owners, ages 25 - 45 that purchase online
If you view the front page of the website at thebusinesscardshoppe.com, you will see one main banner (574 x 297 pixels) and 4 small banners (280 x 144 pixels).
The small banners can virtually look identical except for the title (business cards, postcards, etc).
I'd like the large banner to carry the same information that you see now. I just need the colors and graphics to be changed. Be as bold and creative as you like with graphics. Clipart is ok as long as it blends with the rest of the graphics well.
Bullet points are NOT needed on the small banners.
This can be really simple, no need to over think it, just as long as it looks clean, professional, inviting and nice.

Rae Lewis-Thornton Speaks
Charlie Sheen: And This Is What I Think!!
November 17, 2015
When actor Charlie Sheen said, "I'm not living in that prison anymore" I felt that deep in my soul. It resonated loud and clear. I kept my own HIV infection a secret for seven years. For Real!
Living With Intent
June 3, 2015
Now that I'm well into my 50s, there seems to be no turning back. I'm doing what I should have done in my 30s and for sure when I started to see my 40s that is, live with intent. Well, I sort of lived with very limited intent for 20 years plus, that is, to tell my story to as many people as possible before I died. It was a lofty goal that I did very well. I mean I have spoken at literally hundreds of venues from colleges, churches, high schools and conferences. The only thing is that this goal was single focused and connected to death. Then, I didn't die. Limbo!
The Problem With Pride and Shame
May 25, 2015
Pride and shame will kill you and your spirit. This I know to be true. And it does not matter the circumstance. These two emotions have the ability to create chaos in your life, from your health, to your job and dating. These two will lead you down a path that adds absolutely no value to your life. It's like this: For years, I kept my HIV status a secret because I didn't want to be judged. I was more afraid of what people thought of me, over and above trying to live my best life with HIV.
Reflecting on 53!
May 22, 2015
Of course, when I was younger, I thought, by this age, I would be married with at least one child and a dog. I had it all planned out, so I thought. I would be this big-time political organizer working on important electoral campaigns across this country. Back then, I had goals like many young women. I believed with hard work you could achieve anything you want. Yep, my goals were written in gold, so I thought. I would get a Ph.D. in political science and I would be the "go-to" woman for important matters on the American political scene.
One Day at a Time
November 7, 2014
Over the years I've had mild bouts of depression but nothing on this magnitude since I transitioned to AIDS twenty- two years ago. Back then I thought that I was never going to get AIDS and when I did, it caused the worst mental health crisis of my life. I cried all day and I was barely making it through my daily routine. I started medication but I think the turning point was when I started speaking at high schools here in Chicago. God gave my life new purpose and meaning and that turned things around.
Online Dating, Huh?
August 6, 2014
The other day, I Googled "dating" to get pictures for a blog post and the images that popped up were all of some sort of reference to dating online. Like for real, for real, so many pictures came up with computer images with hearts that I rechecked to make sure that I had actually searched "dating," or that some sort of auto-correct hadn't led me to online dating. LOL!
Drowning in Depression, Part Two
August 4, 2014
Nausea and exhaustion merged and sleep took over. I woke the next morning in my hotel room curled up in the middle of the bed hugging the pillow. Something had come over me last night and it had been cathartic. I knew I needed to do better. "Sophie is not coming back," I told myself. "The good thing is the joy she brought you for eight years," I mumbled. I remind myself of this daily. I remember when Oprah lost one of her white labs, Gracie after one year. She watched her die from swallowing a small toy. I had just gotten Sophie and could not even image the pain she felt. I shuddered to think about it. I had Sophie for eight wonderful years.
Drowning in Depression, Part One
July 29, 2014
I'm drowning in the chaos of my life. It started back in February when I started this emotional eating and Cheetos were always in my right hand, going straight into my mouth. Now, in full disclosure, I took a moment a couple of months ago to examine what had gotten me so off track and all roads led to a man that I wanted, but who didn't want a relationship. So I walked as hard and as fast as I could to a place where I could hold onto my dignity. For me it's simple. No matter how much I want a man, I never want to keep him at the cost of me.
Tackling Grief and Depression After Death
July 22, 2014
Grief is a monster! I'm learning that it also sticks to you like Gorilla Glue. Honestly, these last three weeks dealing with the loss of Sophie has been new territory for me. I've never felt this level of sorrow for anything even when I lost my first two dogs. When Imani died I was sad and I cried a lot, but it didn't effect my bottom line. She had lived 12 years and while I was very sad, I was not overwhelmed. I had also done everything possible for her lung disease and was at peace with that fact. Of course I still had Nambi, who was Imani's baby and she was my constant companion. I had Nambi for 16 years. She and Sophie overlapped for almost four years. When I put Nambi down, I felt like she had lived a long and good life. I blogged about Nambi when I first started. You can read it here.
Losing Sophie
July 15, 2014
Two weeks ago today, I stopped living after I put my baby girl Sophie down. Like for real, for real. Honest to God, I have never felt grief on this magnitude. While I still had breath in my body, my life stood still. Sophie was a special dog that left a foot print on everyone she encountered. For a moment I didn't think that I could go on. The grief was all consuming but like with most things in my life, I kept going in spite of the pain. So here I am, still missing my baby girl and adjusting to life without her.

The Brown is a Kentucky institution: the Georgian Revival–style hotel in Louisville wows guests with marble flooring, ornate ceilings, feather beds—and the Hot Brown, a decadent, open-faced turkey sandwich. Even more impressive, the rates start as low as $129.
This irresistible combination of character and value makes The Brown one of America's top affordable city hotels, as selected among high-scoring properties in our annual World's Best reader survey. All these favorite hotels offer room rates between $90 and $250 a night—meaning there's bound to be a hotel that's right for you.
That's especially good news considering that finding a good deal may get a little tougher for travelers in 2012. Business data firm TravelClick predicts that, after a long slump in hotel prices, rates will rise almost 4 percent in 2012, thanks to increased demand as the economy recovers.
At least there's no need to compromise on quality. The Waldorf Astoria Orlando, for instance, has outposts of celebrated dining venues from the flagship property in New York. Not to mention two pools and a spa with 21 treatment rooms. But at $159 a night, its rate is less than half that in Manhattan—and you get a free shuttle to Disney World. Besides, visiting a city that's not on the West Coast or in the Northeast practically guarantees that other costs, such as dining and entertainment, will be more affordable, too.
Top affordable hotels like the Waldorf Astoria Orlando also defy the conventional wisdom that you should look to a city's outlying neighborhoods for a good deal. In Santa Fe, the pueblo-style Inn of Anasazi wins over guests with its tasteful, luxurious décor—handwoven rugs, paintings by acclaimed local artists, kiva-shaped gas fireplaces, and four-poster beds—placed in the heart of the action.
Although plenty of celebrities have been spotted checking into the fashionable Inn of Anasazi, you don't need to star in a hit movie to be able to afford its nightly rates.
Read on for more top city hotels across America that won't bust your travel budget.

A woman is fighting for her life at a hospital after being set on fire Monday morning inside a North Texas convenience store.
Witnesses said a woman walked into the Buy and Save convenience store at the Texaco gas station on Long Ave. and Azle Ave. in Fort Worth and doused the victim with flammable liquid.
Witnesses said it "took one second" for the attacker to light the victim on fire after dousing her with the liquid. Witnesses said they couldn't tell how she ignited the fire. They added she didn't say anything to the victim before lighting her on fire.
The victim's friend, standing nearby, caught on fire as well.
The attacker got into a car that was waiting for her in the parking lot and they drove off.
Fort Worth police haven't identified the attacker, anyone else in the vehicle, or the kind of car. Detectives spent seven hours at the store collecting evidence and taking photographs.
The Buy and Save had surveillance cameras inside the store. Police are looking through those videos now trying to identify the attacker.
NBC5 spoke with Alex Hilo, the night shift worker at the Buy and Save.
"I was making the coffee and I see a bunch of fire going, I go and try to help her out. I threw some water on her, to put the fire out. But this thing happened too fast," Hilo said.
"All I saw was just fire. Somebody threw something and lit someone on fire. It was scary thing," he added. "All the top of her body [was burned]. Her hair, her face, everything was burned."
Hilo said the victim's screams for help sounded like a "nightmare."
Moments after the attack, Hilo rushed into action. He grabbed jugs of water from the store shelves and poured them on the victim. He also started grabbing at her clothes.
"I wanted to take her clothes, there was liquid on it, so I knew if I could get her clothes off, there'd be less fire," he said.
The victim was transported via helicopter to a Dallas hospital. Firefighters said she has life-threatening burns over her entire body. Her name has not been released because police haven't contacted her family.
"It appears to be a targeted attack. That's what it looks like right now. This women had some type of previous relationship prior to this incident occurring," said Tim Hardeman, with the Fort Worth Fire Department.
The victim's friend was also rushed to the hospital with burns over her back.
Alex Hilo also suffered minor burns on his hands and forearms from trying to save the women's lives. He was treated on scene.
"There's no time to think. I had to act fast, fast fast," he said.
Hilo said the victims are regular customers during his shift, but he doesn't know their names. He also said the suspect is a regular customer, too, but he doesn't know her name either.
NBC 5's Greg Janda contributed to an earlier version of this story.

As we likely enter our last raid reset before the patch, the question on my mind is will we be able to complete The Immortal achievement? We have done everything else for our Heroic: Glory of the Raider, but for a number of weeks this achievement has eluded us. One week it was from a parry gib on Gluth, one week it was from an over excited arcane explosion spamming mage on Gothikk, one week it was from someone who forgot their left from right on Thaddius…the list goes on and on.
When we first started to focus on this achievement we originally had implemented a bounty. If you could have prevented your death and didn't, you would have to pay. We used this tactic while learning Archimonde to great effect. We had some people that grumbled about it when it was first announced, but after learning what a wipe fest that Archimonde could be everyone was happy to have some of their repair bill recovered from the people that did boneheaded things and got themselves killed.
Upon announcing the bounty Part Duex, we got an surprising amount of feedback from people that tauted "negative reinforcement doesn't work for me". I think a large part of this had to do with the steepness of the bounty that we implemented, rather than the bounty itself. There was much discussion in officer chat regarding this, and ultimately we decided to drop the bounty. While I strongly disagreed, and felt that people should absolutely held accountable, ultimately we opted for a "positive reinforcement" motivator, even though we knew from experience this would not be a good motivator for our guild.
The first round of this "positive reinforcement" was offering everyone in the guild 200g a piece for successfully completing the achievement. As you might guess, this was not effective, and we still had boneheaded deaths. So last week we up'd the ante, and offered up a Choppa (or a 5k gold cash payout) to be randomed at the end of the night, if we were successful. And it still wasn't enough motivation…although to be fair to my guild, we were short people overall which I think had more to do with our Immortal failure than anything else.
So, here we are staring down our last chance to become Immortal and still receive our Proto-Drake. We've broken this weeks Naxx run up into two nights, as opposed to the Sunday Night one clear that we have been doing. Tonight we will run the Military Wing, The Plague Wing and The Spider Wing. I think that we will finish tonight without seeing any deaths. Which brings us to tomorrow…and our riskiest encounters: Gluth, Thaddius, Sapph and Kel.
I've had people request that we re-implement the bounty for tonight, which we have not decided on. We will continue to require everyone to turn off their damage meters, we will continue to go over all of the Oh Shit! scenarios before each encounter, we will continue to run 7 healers instead of 5, and we will continue to remind people that their number one priority is SURVIVAL. I try really hard to stay positive, but I'm honestly not sure that it is going to be enough.
I guess only time will tell…will Monolith be Immortal? What can I do to make people play their asses off tonight and tomorrow night to accomplish it? We have a history of pulling things out at the last minute, I can't tell you how many of our boss kills were our "last pull" of the night where people just buckled down and put everything together, so maybe that will happen tonight. *queues Eye of the Tiger*
***UPDATE**** After our first night and nine bosses…we are still on track to be Immortal! *crosses fingers*


text: $38/cwt Dairy Support Price? September 20, 2012 11:26 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Could $38 milk be in the offing in 2013? There is a default provision within permanent Farm Law that requires the Secretary of Agriculture to set the dairy price support between 75 and 90% of parity if the current Farm Bill expires. Taking the August 2012 parity price of $51.70 as a guide, that suggests the Secretary would have to set the dairy support price at a minimum of $38 on January 1, 2013 if no new farm legislation is passed. That's about twice the Class III and IV prices expected this fall, and almost four times the current support price. Even so, there's enough flexibility given to the Secretary of Agriculture that such a huge price increase is unlikely to occur. "USDA could take a while to get all the machinery in motion, while Congress presumably came to its senses and retroactively stopped it all," says Andy Novakovic, a dairy economist with Cornell University. USDA also could set product and packaging specifications so tightly that no processor would sell product to the government. "This actually happened in the 1980s and at times in the 1990s," says Novakovic. "…even a cooperative would likely think twice before shorting existing customers for the short-term high of selling to USDA in a program that no sane person could expect to continue for long." For Novakovic's full report, click here. Back to news

He was always special
More than 10 years ago, Tabadzija and his brothers were born not far from the building I lived in. They were growing up together under the watchful eye of their mother and turned into cute little fellows. One day, unexpectedly, Tabadzija suddenly disappeared. I looked for him everywhere but he was nowhere to be found, as if the earth had swallowed him up. The other three kittens were adopted.
A few months later, while I was riding my bike in a completely different part of town, I heard a familiar "meow" and there he was, standing in someone's yard. He was not a kitten anymore, he was bigger and heavier, but he was as sweet and handsome as I remembered him. When I called his name, he ran towards me and jumped into my bike basket. The owner of that house told me the kitty appeared some time ago, they were feeding him and liked him a lot. I didn't know whether to take him or not, I gently put him on the ground and tried to leave but then he began to run after me trying to jump into my bike basket. Finally, we went home together.
The next few years he was living in my garage, fighting with all the other cats and that's how he got his name - Tabadzija means The Batterer. He was going out whenever he wanted and then he vanished again. I haven't seen him for almost a year, until I ran into him by accident and discovered that he was living near restaurant. When he saw me, he followed me home but continued to return there. For quite some time he kept coming and leaving. But something strange was going on – whenever any of my cats died or was killed, he arrived as if he knew it. I think he witnessed every burial in all those years…
Couple of months before we all moved to the shelter, Tabadzija came to my garage and stayed there. He didn't want to go out at all, it might sound silly but it seemed he somehow knew we were supposed to leave and didn't want to be left behind. And here he is now, living life to it's fullest.

New forest law in Brazil helps save the Amazon
Posted on 07 March 2006
WWF welcomes Brazil's new forest law aimed at combating deforestation in the Amazon, while developing the region's economic potential.Gland, Switzerland – WWF welcomes Brazil's new forest law aimed at combating deforestation in the Amazon, while developing the region's economic potential.
Signed by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on 2 March, the new law is also expected to help end illegal land occupation in the Brazilian Amazon through new measures that will provide for the demarcation of public forests.
Social and environmental organizations, including WWF, have for years been struggling to press for a way to halt the process of illegal occupation and deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon by ranchers and agribusiness, protect the rights of local residents, and conserve irreplaceable biodiversity found within the Brazilian Amazon.
"The new law provides the Brazilian government with the unique opportunity of fostering development, creating jobs, and generating income while keeping the Amazon forest standing," said Leonardo Lacerda, WWF International's Protected Areas Manager.
Other new legislative measures include the creation of an independent Brazilian Forest Service and mechanisms for modernizing the country's forestry sector, including a system of forestry concessions that promotes responsible forestry as opposed to fostering conversion of forests into other land uses.
"This law will provide incentives to state and municipal governments in Brazil to adopt policies consistent with forest conservation since agriculture ceases to be the only alternative for regional development in the Brazilian Amazon," says Mauro Armelin, WWF-Brazil's public policy director.
In the next 10 years, 11 million hectares of forests will be the object of concessions by the Brazilian government to private loggers for sustainable management — this represents 3 per cent of the Brazilian Amazon forest.
Under the new law, the government will open up some forest areas under 40-year contracts. These contracts, to be tendered out, will allow the highest bidders to log trees under a sustainable development plan. Nature reserves and indigenous lands are barred from logging. The new Brazilian Forest Service, to be financed mainly by revenues from the logging contracts, will establish criteria and manage the forest concessions. The success of the new law will depend on several factors including the standard of forestry management of the areas to be opened for concessions.
"Ultimately, the forest will only be conserved if forestry operations achieve international credible forest certification, such as from the Forest Stewardship Council," added Lacerda.
"To a large extent, the success of the new law hinges on the speed with which the government will be able to set aside and demarcate national and state forests en masse, as well as ascertain its ownership over areas that currently have no clear public land titles and that were being rapidly and illegally occupied, cleared and privatized."
To date, roughly 30 per cent of the Brazilian Amazon is protected. Indigenous lands, for example, already cover over 20 per cent of the area. In addition, current efforts like the Amazon Region Protected Areas Programme (ARPA) are ensuring that at least 12 per cent of the Brazilian Amazon is conserved as extractive reserves, national parks and other protected areas.
Up to July 2004, deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon have been alarmingly high, caused mainly by agricultural expansion. Almost 20 per cent of the area has already been cleared. The new law offers the opportunity to keep most of the remainder of the land that has not yet been privatised to remain under forest cover.
WWF will support the Brazilian government in the implementation of this new forest law, and calls on others, particularly funding agencies, to join in.
• The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, not-for-profit, non-government organization based in Bonn, Germany, providing standard setting, trademark assurance, and accreditation services for companies and organizations interested in responsible forestry. It was created in 1993 by environmental organizations such as WWF, Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace, indigenous forest dwellers, professional foresters, big retailers such as Sweden's IKEA and the UK's B&Q, and large and small forest companies. The certification system requires consultation with all other forest users and interested parties and ensures an independent assessment of a company's forest management practices.

You put in hundreds of hours getting your plane from "project" status to showpiece and now you're ready to take it to a fly-in for exhibition.
From your arrival to departure, there are many steps you can take to ensure your plane's safety at a fly-in.
Let's start at the beginning: Be aware of the taxi procedures when you arrive. Study the airport layout beforehand. Review the hand signals. If you do not understand the instructions you are given, stop. Taxi a little bit slower than you would normally, especially if there are lots of people around. Some of them may be aviation impaired and may walk with their backs to the planes or on taxiways instead of on footpaths and could step into the line of a wing.
Once you've parked, you may breathe a sigh of relief. But realize that there are several things you can do to ensure your plane will leave in the same condition it arrived:
– "Do not touch" placards are a must. Most fly-ins will provide these in the form of cardboard sleeves that are slipped over the propeller. Warnings not to touch the aircraft are also published in fly-in programs. Volunteer security personnel also may patrol the grounds to make sure visitors follow the rules. Note: Non-authorized contact is more likely to happen in show display areas as opposed to camping areas since most people who camp are familiar with aircraft etiquette and know better than to touch another person's plane without permission.
– Use tiedown equipment designed for aircraft. A crowded fly-in is not the time to experiment with a clothesline. If your plane comes loose from its moorings in a high wind or blast of prop wash, it could hurt someone or damage other aircraft or even buildings. If you use single stakes, insert them into the ground at a diagonal. A stake inserted on a diagonal takes more wind force to lift out of the ground than one driven straight into the ground. You may want to invest in the "claw" type of aircraft tie down. Instead of a single stake in the ground there are three set at different angles. As the name implies, it resembles a claw. According to people who use them, they are easier to install and remove, yet provide sturdier protection than the one-stake systems.
– Use bright orange surveyor's tape or something similar to make the tops of tiedown stakes and propeller blades more visible. This helps keep people from accidentally walking into them. The tape can be found at many building supply stores.
– Make sure gust locks are installed correctly.
– Use foam to cover sharp edges, such as the trailing edge of a wing. Foam covers used to insulate water pipes work very well. They are lightweight and are easy to snap into place. If someone walks into a wing, there is less of a chance of injury.
– Use some type of windscreen or panel cover to keep the avionics in your aircraft from baking in the sun.
– Take all the expensive portable items, such as yoke-mounted GPS and headsets, out of your cockpit. Either lock them up or hide them well. Although most people are honest, there are some folks who see large events as an opportunity to steal.
– If your airplane does not require keys to activate the ignition, invest in a fuel shut-off lock. This keeps your plane from being an easy target for thieves. If your plane requires keys for ignition, keep them out of the aircraft. You may also want to invest in a throttle lock. Since fly-ins are very crowded, someone could steal your airplane when you are not around and it could be hours before you find out about it.
– Do not leave anything near your airplane that can be thrown, such as a football, Frisbee, a model glider or even extra tiedown stakes. Also don't leave any cleaning products with a spray trigger around. One unsupervised kid is all it takes to do damage.
– Be careful of the position of your propeller. In camping areas experienced campers recommend that you turn the propeller so the blades are vertical. If someone walks between rows at night they are less likely to hit the blade.
– If you are camping with your airplane and using a pop-up style tent, open it away from your plane. The tent's support rods can be hard to handle and will scratch a paint job if they get away from you.
– Do not set up your camp stove under your wing.
– If you cannot stand up straight beneath the wing, you may want to rethink putting your tent there. When you are half asleep there is a good chance you are going to stand up and hit your head.
– If adverse weather, such as high wind, strikes, do not try to "save your airplane." If the wind is blowing hard enough, the plane could flip over and land on you. The plane can be replaced. You can't.
– Supervise the refueling of your aircraft.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
The Graphic Frederic Varady
Varady did quite a bit of line art (some of my favourite Vardays are these pieces done for Cosmopolitan magazine) but that doesn't diminish the fact that, once combined with the bold, modern, almost "plastic" colour palette, his illustration above is another great example of the exciting visual experimentation going on at the magazine during that year.
By contrast, the August 1950 illustration below, though still very modern looking for the times, looks rather more dated due to Varady falling back on his more popular painting style.
So why was at least one illustrator in each 1950 issue of Woman's Home Companion trying some sort of experimental graphic approach? There were probably many reasons... and I'll bet one of those reasons was that Al Parker had already done it.
As far back as the mid 40's, when everyone else was still firmly entrenched in the Old School style of picturemaking, Parker was incorporating unusual graphic elements like this into his illustrations. Its often been said that Al Parker was constantly reinventing his style, staying 6 months ahead of his competition, who would invariably imitate the "most popular illustrator in America". Looking at this 1948 piece and this 1949 piece by Parker from Ladies Home Journal, surely Woman's Home Companion's most immediate competition, one has to wonder if the art director at WHC didn't ask his illustrators to try some Al Parker-style graphic experimentation.
You'll find today's pieces at full size in my Frederic Varady Flickr set.

Great stuff as usual. I am a big fan of old school illustration, I love your insights and was wondering if you've ever profiled Jon Whitcomb on your blog?ReplyDelete
Hey, thanks a lot, michael.ReplyDelete
As a matter of fact, I did do a week on Jon Whitcomb - and you can check out the posts via these links:

Took a look at your blog, btw - your paintings look amazing!
thanks! Of course Whitcomb's girls are beautiful, but I also love his sense of design and color.ReplyDelete
I don't want to push my luck but....any John Gannam????
Not a problem, michael. I have never yet written about Gannam - but I have a nice little Flickr archive of some Gannam paintings hereReplyDelete
Aside from that, if you haven't already done so, check out David Apatoff's post on John Gannam here
thanks for the link, I'd never seen any of that bw Gannam work before.ReplyDelete
I spent some time browsing your flickr folders yesterday...whoa what a gold mine!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am thinking of starting a FB group on American illustration in the mid-century. Would there be any interest here in joining this club? It wouldn't be confined to MID-CENTURY and I am in the inchoate planning stage. Please contact me @ Facebook or @ firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested. Thank you very much!ReplyDelete
