Beverly Penn
Newsletter Essay, 2007-2008
Beverly Penn works in bronze to create intricate sculptures of natural plan forms that question the fragile balance between the natural world and manufactured environments. If at first Penn's sculptures appear rooted in the organic world, on second glance one may trace in them the history of human aesthetics. In the lace-like arrangements of plant forms one recognizes the botanical embellishments of the Victorians, and in their simple and compelling composition Penn's works recall the forms of Classical architecture. Employing equal parts nature and ornament, Penn pulls her artistic vocabulary from both worlds.
Her historical influences are not accidental; Penn has traveled widely for the purpose of studying the decorative habits of Western civilization, and her work references a long account of organic ornamentation. "I'm very interested in not only the plants, but the intersection of where nature and culture make their dividing line and have boundaries that are crossed over time," says Penn. "In many ways, they are at odds with each other but also in synthesis."
Penn holds a BFA for the University of Texas at El Paso, a MA from New Mexico State University and MFA from SUNY New Paltz. She is professor at the School of Art and Design at Texas State University. Her work is collected around the country and she has received numerous fellowships including a Rockefeller Foundation residency in Bellagio, Italy; a Fulbright Fellowship in Barcelona, Spain; and nine Texas State University Faculty Research Grants for research in Mexico, Italy, Spain, and New York.

1098 Form: From your mortgage or home equity company. Reports your interest paid on your loan. This may also report any Mortgage Insurance Premiums. They may not always be deductible though. This form may also have your escrowed property taxes reported, but not always.
1099-A: If you have had a property foreclosed. The "A" stands for abandoned.
1099-B: From your investment company, shows the sales or exchanges of stock, mutual funds or bonds. This form is not due to be released until February 15th, and some firms are notorious for sending several amended forms right up thru April 15th.
1099-C: Cancellation of Debt on credit cards, loans and sometimes mortgages.
1099-Div: Reports dividends, capital gain distributions and foreign tax paid. You can find the release date of most of these forms on your brokerage website. They may be as late as the end of February, so beware.
1099-G: Reports payments by a government agency, like your Unemployment benefits or State Tax Refunds from the prior year.
1099-INT: From your bank or investment company, reporting any interest that you earned during the year. If under $10, you probably won't receive a form.

1099-MISC: This is a multi-use form that reports Rents, Prizes, Self-Employed Payments, Spiffs, Medical Provider Payments and other miscellaneous payments.

So there is the ABC's of forms to look for over the next few weeks!


01 Pour the water into a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the dried porcini mushrooms, stir to submerge, and cover with a plate. Soak until the mushrooms are soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Line a wire sieve with a moistened paper towel. Strain the soaking liquid through the sieve into a small bowl to remove any grit, and reserve 1 cup. If the porcini mushroom pieces are large, roughly chop them and set aside.
02 While the mushrooms are soaking, prepare the pork chops. In a small bowl combine 2 teaspoons of the rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Brush the pork chops on both sides with the oil and season evenly with the spices.
04 In a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove, melt the butter. Add the cremini mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become tender and browned, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the drained porcini mushrooms, ¾ cup of the scallions, and the remaining 1¼ teaspoons rosemary. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the marsala and boil until reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth and the 1 cup reserved porcini soaking liquid, leaving any sediment behind. Boil until slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cream and boil until the liquid thickens to your desired sauce consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the sauce with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
05 Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the pork chops over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until still slightly pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork chops and top with the remaining ¼ cup scallions. Serve warm.

Author Michael Brookes Develops & Writes Games
The real Michael Brookes
Today Michael Brookes talks about his writing process and his new book, The Cult of Me, plus an excerpt. Michael is giving away one print copy internationally. Just comment to be entered to win! Ends 11/12.
Interview with Michael Brookes
Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?
Just go for it – what's the worst that can happen?
If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?
The ability to speak and understand ay language would be pretty cool. Just think of the possibilities that creates!
When in the day/night do you write? How long per day?
I try to write for 2 hours a day, usually at night (work still gets in the way), at the weekends it's more like 5 or 6 hours. Like many people I sometimes wish there were more hours in the day.
Do you listen to music while writing? If so what?
Yep, I'm a big fan of listening to music while I write, for me it has to be very heavy metal, or film soundtracks. Gladiator and Black Hawk Down are favourites.
What book are you reading now?
I'm currently reading Dodger by Terry Prachett. I love his style of writing (very different from my own) and this has an interesting story – so far at any rate.
What are your favorite TV shows?
Twin Peaks and Millenium are my favourite TV shows. Twin Peak is a weirdly dark masterpiece, with some excellent characters. Agent Cooper in particular is fantastic. Millenium is another dark show, with quality writing and stand out characters, especially Frank Black himself.
Entice us, what future projects are you considering?
I'm currently finishing up a short story anthology, but then I'll be writing another first draft as part of the National Novel Writing Month challenge during November. And then I have to edit and finish Conversations in the Abyss, the sequel to The Cult of Me.
What do you find most rewarding about writing?
For me it's all about telling the story. If I'm happy with the story then I know it'll be a good read for other people.
The Cult of Me Summary:
For too long he dwelt apart, watched those who passed him by.With his unique abilities he entered their minds and inflicted terrible suffering upon them. They didn't even know who he was. The game has lasted for years, but now the game has become stale. On an impulse he decides to make a final and very public last stand. After surrendering himself to the police he enacts his plan to seize the prison for his final bloody act.
There he discovers that he's not as unique as he once thought.
Excerpt (from The Cult of Me)
Only a few seconds passed as the priest and I stared at each other and you don't survive long in here without knowing when something was wrong. A few of the prisoner's started to get restless, this wasn't the time, so I withdrew, and as I did so I felt eyes upon me. I turned to face pharmacy-no-rx.net/xenical_generic.html them and saw a guard regarding me closely. He didn't seem angry, or agitated, he just watched me intently.
He stood tall. He towered above even the impressively sized Bungle. From his bearing I guessed he was ex-forces, but it was the look that he had that gave me pause. But why should I pause? I had nothing to fear from this man, no matter his stature. So for the second time in as many minutes I invaded another person's mind.
Instantly I noticed the contrast. The priest's mind had been a storm of guilt and fear, this guard's only a serene calm. His name was David Hammond and I had guessed correctly about him being ex-forces. From his memories I gleaned visions of his combat tours with the Royal Marines in far flung desert places. He had seen action and lots of it. As a sniper he dealt death from afar. The weirdest part wasn't that he knew that I was there. It was that he didn't mind, he looked me clean in the eye and invited me straight in.
His mind struck me as unlike anything I previously experienced. I had encountered calm people before, but usually there was an undercurrent, some inner turmoil that boiled beneath their own understanding. Not this man though, on all levels he was at peace with himself. No lingering doubts, no inner turmoil.
I don't mind admitting that I was shocked. I have been inside many minds and this knowing acceptance was unlike anything… And there, in the centre I discovered it. I'm not sure what is was, but it was there, a solid beacon, a rock of light that anchored him.
I wanted to press closer, to peel away at this mystery, but the crowd was growing restless. All they could see was this guard, already a known entity within the prison, one of the few officers that received their respect and me, staring at each other. They could almost taste the atmosphere between us. There was a palpable tension rising, so I calmly nodded at him in acknowledgement, winked at the priest and settled back into my chair and watched him stutter his way through the service.

By day I work as a Producer for one of the leading UK independent game developers. I currently live in probably the flattest place in the world in the east of England, although over the years I have lived all over the country. I've always been interested in writing it is only recently that I've really pushed myself to finish a complete book. That effort has now seen the light of day and I'm looking forward to starting the next book. I'm also an avid reader with Ian M Banks and Terry Prachett being amongst my favourite modern authors. My favourite story of all time is Paradise Lost, a hard read, but a sublime story.

Laser walls, smart sensors at India-Bangladesh border soon
The Border Security Force (BSF) is set to install laser walls and smart sensors along the Indo-Bangla international border in West Bengal to plug the porous riverine and unmanned terrain in the area in order to keep to check infiltration and terrorism. A team of technical experts will handle a pilot project for deploying technological solutions in riverine areas and the areas that lack fences.
"Very soon laser walls and smart sensors will be installed at the Indo-Bangla border, especially in the porous riverine area and in areas that do not have proper fencing. It will be done on an urgent basis so that it becomes operational by the next year," a BSF official said. The official added that the pilot project is likely to take off within a few months. "The pilot project will start in a few months once we get the equipment and other things that are needed. The areas, where lasers and sensors will be placed, have already been identified," another official said. "The smart sensors will be monitored through a satellite-based signal command system. They will have night and fog operability tools. The mechanism is — sensor blips and alerts border guards," said the official. The proposal submitted by BSF's South Bengal frontier to the West Bengal government for land needed for erecting fences in a highly sensitive 81.7 km area has also been approved. The state government has approved it and asked the district magistrates to procure land and hand it over to us, an official said.
The paramilitary force is using the Farheen laser wall technology at the Indo-Pakistan border and has reaped benefits through better management of the borders. BSF DG K K Sharma and other top officials had recently toured the Indo-Bangla border area in Bengal and Tripura. Sources in BSF said installing laser walls and remote sensors is part of Centre's plan to keep a tight vigil at the Indo-Bangla border following inputs from intelligence agencies that terrorists and anti-national elements are exploiting the unfenced areas and riverine borders. Of the 4,096 kilometer-long Indo-Bangladesh border, 2,216.7 is in West Bengal. The decision to install laser walls in areas, where barbed wire fences could not be erected due to the treacherous terrain or marshy riverine topography was taken by the BSF two years ago.

The old Mountain Lake Park playground will be rebuilt with equipment designed to be thrilling but safe.
Too often in San Francisco, when public agencies, neighborhood activists and nonprofits try to get something done together, it's not pretty.
Instead of cooperation, those collaborations can end up in political pandemonium and NIMBY clashes, leading to frustration, hurt feelings and a good idea gone awry.
But not at Mountain Lake Park.
Efforts to restore, improve and renovate the lake, the open space, and the playground have been so congenial that even those involved are scratching their heads.
"This is one where we've all played very nicely in the sandbox, an appropriate playground metaphor," said Phil Ginsburg, director of the city's Recreation and Park Department. "It's how it should be."
The effort to improve the park and the lake was a mess waiting to happen.
The lake is technically in the Presidio and under the jurisdiction of the Presidio Trust. Ginsberg's agency oversees the adjacent park, with a playground, tennis courts, a dog park and other amenities.
Then there's the very vocal Friends of Mountain Lake Park Playground, a neighborhood group started by three mothers, angling for a completely new playground. The San Francisco Parks Alliance, a nonprofit open-space advocacy group, was also in the mix, along with merchants, other neighborhood groups and public officials.
There should have been bickering over resources or about who was responsible for what.
Instead, the Presidio Trust is well on its way to restoring the lake: It has dredged out the muck and is restoring native habitat and offering community educational events at the park's lakeshore.
The park department has replaced the bathroom and fixed some paths, and is restoring historical open spaces.
"There's some really important natural history and natural resources on that site," Ginsburg said. "We're trying to do our part. It's a park that needs a lot of attention."
And the Friends of Mountain Lake Park Playground worked with everyone to get $2 million of city bond money to help pay for the $3.1 million playground, promising to raise the rest.
One of the three mothers, Claire Myers, used to play at the park when she was a child.
"When we played cops and robbers, this was my getaway horse," she said as she strolled through the park on a sunny summer day, pausing at a huge tree with a big, looping, saddle-like branch.
The 30-year-old playground isn't as old as the tree, but it's outdated, Myers said.
So the moms and neighbors worked with the city to initiate a rebuild from the sand up.
The new playground, designed pro bono by the architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, will be completely accessible, a big part of the costs, with a ramp up to a rebuilt version of the big, scary slide - to kids' eyes, at least - that sits atop the park's berm.
Instead of sand, there will be poured-in-place rubber and age-appropriate activities for babies to pre-teens.
But not boring stuff. Sure, there will be swings, but also crisscrossed logs that create a quirky climbing structure as well as a mini rope course - structures that challenge children and encourage them to take risks.
"Managed risk," actually, Myers said, adding that those are the buzzwords in play these days.
Construction on the new playground, four years in the making, is expected to start in the fall and be ready by May.
The lake, the playground and the park - it's all coming together, everyone said.
"The cleanup and enhancement of Mountain Lake is remarkable for a number of reasons," said Craig Middleton, the Presidio Trust's executive director. "It's a rare opportunity to bring back the health of a natural lake in an urban area, but just as significant is the collaboration of the many partners who have worked together to make this happen."
Myers and the city are hoping to blueprint the positive process to replicate the experience at other parks across the city.
"The city can't build all these new playgrounds alone," Myers said. "But they worked arm in arm with us to fulfill our dream, and we can share this experience to make it easier for other neighborhoods.
"Why reinvent the wheel every time?"
Indeed, Ginsburg said - especially when that wheel hits bumps in the road.
"This is a good one," he said. "We're trying to make more of them like this."
