Sabine Breitwieser (born April 6, 1962 in Wels, Austria) is an Austrian curator, art manager and publicist.

Life

After studying law in Linz, Breitwieser obtained her doctorate in law at the University of Vienna. She was initially coordinator and curator in 1988 and from 1991 to 2007 the first artistic director on the board of the Generali Foundation (founding director). In developing the initial plans for a collection of Austrian sculpture, she expanded the Generali Foundation's art collection with a focus on conceptual and critical art. This collection, as well as the exhibitions it has shown, have met with international acclaim.

In 2003 and 2004 she was one of the curators of the International Liverpool Biennial, and from 2003 to 2008 she was a member of the University Council of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In 2007, Breitwieser became Secretary and Treasurer of CIMAM (International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art).

She was appointed the chief curator of media and performance art at MoMA in Manhattan in May 2010, holding the role until 2013. In the same year she completed the second part of her two-year project Utopia and Monument for the Styrian Autumn, which she had begun the previous year. From 2013 to 2018, she was the director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg (MdMS). In 2014, as part of her work as director, she agreed to a partnership with Generali and the relocation of the collection she had built up from Vienna to MdMS. Breitwieser also works as a freelance curator, lecturer and author on contemporary art.

She co-organized a show on German sculptor Isa Genzken in 2013, the first "comprehensive Genzken exhibition in an American museum." In 2015, she organized "Carole Schneemann: Kinetic Painting" for the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, which traveled to MoMA PS1 in 2017 and 2018. In 2019 and 2020, she curated a show at the Muzeum Susch about Carolee Schneeman.

"If you don't know what you want to do as a curator, just go looking."
Robert Storr has been a professor of painting and dean of the School of Art at Yale University since 2006. He was curator in the department of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from 1990 to 2002. He has taught at several universities and lectured widely in the U.S. and abroad. Storr has been a contributing editor at Art in America since 1981 and writes frequently for Artforum, Parkett, Art Press (Paris), and Frieze (London). Among his many honors are a Penny McCall Foundation Grant for painting, a Norton Family Foundation Curator Grant, and honorary doctorates from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Maine College of Art. He also has received awards from the American Chapter of the International Association of Art Critics, a special AICA award for Distinguished Contribution to the Field of Art Criticism, an ICI Agnes Gund Curatorial Award, and the Lawrence A. Fleischman Award for Scholarly Excellence in the Field of American Art History from the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art. In 2000 the French Ministry of Culture presented Storr with the medal of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, and he was the commissioner of the 2007 Venice Biennale, the first American invited to assume that position.
In May 2010, Storr and critically acclaimed abstract painter Thomas Nozkowski participated in a live conversation at The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage during which they addressed the practice of painting, the making of painting exhibitions, and the relationship between the two. Storr is also a contributor to three Center publications: Curating Now (2001), What Makes a Great Exhibition? (2006), and Pigeons on the Grass, Alas: Contemporary Curators Talk About the Field (2013).


While heading off on a fishing trip, the gang becomes lost near a desolate Southern swamp village and immediately runs into a blank-eyed zombie. Visiting the locals, they soon learn that an old witch, who brought the zombie to "life" to act as her servant, is haunting the place--and making folks disappear!
The gang becomes curious about missing cargo freighters and decide to investigate. What they run into instead is the ghost of Redbeard the Pirate and his ghostly ghost ship!
Scooby and the gang are summoned to a spooky house on an even spookier island to hear the reading of the will for the late Col. Beauregard Sanders, whom Scooby saved from drowning years before. The catch is that, to collect the inheritance, Scooby, the gang, and the Colonel's other heirs must spend the night on the island--and survive the giggling green ghosts which haunt it!
The gang heads off on a ski trip, only to find themselves being menaced by the ghost of the Yeti, an abominable snowman from the Himalyas who's come to seek revenge on the man who caused his death several years before!
When a creepy creep crawls into the back of the Mystery Machine and scares the living daylights out of the gang, it begins a chase that leads them to a spooky old house, Dr. Jekyll--and Mr. Hyde!
The gang pays a visit to San Francisco's Chinatown, where Daphne buys a gruesome looking mask from a curio shop. The gang then finds themselves pursued by two zombies, servants of the ancient warlord Zen Tuo, who wants the mask back!
While relaxing at the beach, Scooby manages to hook a block of ice containing a frozen caveman, which was supposed to be delivered to the Marine Land Research Facility. No sooner does the gang return the frozen fright to Marine Land than somebody thaws him out and he comes to life!
The gang is on their way to a school dance/hay ride when they come upon an accident scene and a semi-conscious bank guard, who gives them a mysterious blank paper. Later, at the dance, they find themselves being chased by the ghoulish Creeper, who wants the paper at any cost!
While on their way to rock festival, the gang gets lost and stops to ask for directions from a crabby old farmer. He gives them two choices--a long route, and a short route, and a warning that the short route leads past a haunted house. The gang opts for the short route--only to break down right in front of the haunted house. A trip inside for help brings them face to face(?) with the Headless Spectre, and a mysterious search for a lost fortune!
The gang vacations in Hawaii as the guests of reporter John Simms, who's doing an article on a local, haunted village. But when a Witch Doctor pops up and Mr. Simms disappears, the gang finds themselves tangling with ancient Hawaiian curses and even more ancient Hawaiin ghosts!
The gang is out on a camping trip when the sound of a wolf's howl startles them--and the tracks of a two legged wolf lead them to an old cemetery and the unearthed grave of Silas Long, reputed to be half-man, and half-wolf; and apparently all ghost!
The gang is competing in a dance contest at a local TV station when the lights suddenly go out and a weird, glowing blobby phantom appears. As soon as the lights come on, they find themselves on another mystyery--the station's safe has been robbed, the manager is missing, and the blame seems to belong with an old waxmaker and his black magic, which he threatened to use to bring the Wax Phantom to life, and seek revenge on the station for cancelling his appearance years before!

Who is the daddy of the snow? This is a question that is frequently debated here at PowderBeds HQ. And, with Father's day around the corner, a small ongoing debate between colleagues grew quickly into an office wide dispute.
After making very little progress, we decided to settle the matter by putting the question to our Facebook community and to some of the leading journalists in the ski industry.
Up for the running were the likes of Mathias Zdarsky from Austria, a chap who, all the way back in 1905 invented the downhill skiing we know today.
Hannes Schneider from St Anton was up for the running, and was nominated for his role in spreading the sport worldwide as far as Japan and the USA.
Before them all though was Sondre Nordheim who was the first to invent the telemark technique in Norway in the 1980s.
But what about the Biathlete Ole Einar Bjorndalen from Norway, with more than 90 world cup golds he recently overtook Ingemar Stenmark for having the most in any winter sports discipline.
And, the list goes on and on and on!

committed to introducing advanced international treatment and management techniques to combine with Chinese needs. Rehabilitation nursing is a critical part of comprehensive care yet support in China, yet only a few training programs targeting rehabilitation nurses have been organized, with varying consistency and quality.
It is our privilege to cooperate with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF International) and renowned scholar Dr. Kristen L. Mauk to launch a series of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing courses in China in June 2016. Dr. Mauk has more than 30 years of experience in rehabilitation nursing and teaches at both the graduate and undergraduate levels in American universities. Dr. Mauk is a recent past president of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) (United States) and has served ARN in many roles, most significantly including the Council of Leaders, Editor of the 5th edition of the Core Curriculum, PRN course faculty, and the task force to develop the ARN Professional Rehabilitation Nursing Competency Model. She has authored or edited eight books, including two recognized with an AJN Book of the Year Award. She is the co-founder and President of Senior Care Central/International Rehabilitation Consultants, providing educational, clinical, and legal nurse consulting in rehabilitation and senior care in the U.S. and internationally.
Dr. Mauk has taught short courses to nurses and students in China over the past few years, and is well aware of the development gap of this profession in China. By combining her academic expertise and local needs, she developed this comprehensive course especially for nurses or nursing students to provide a thorough introduction to rehabilitation nursing. The course is offered in an intensive format over a 2 week period, involving approximately 104 contact hours in one block of nearly consecutive days. The course will include an experiential component, videos, case studies, quizzes, group activities, discussions, skills demonstration and practice, and relevant competencies. Screening tools, current models, care planning, and evidence-based rehabilitation techniques will be presented.
Topics covered include: introduction to rehabilitation, nutrition/dysphagia, maintaining skin integrity, bowel and bladder management, mobility, psychosocial issues, and cardiopulmonary rehab. Rehabilitation nursing care of patients with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurological disorders, amputation, and joint replacement are also addressed. Special consideration for geriatric and pediatric populations are discussed.
The course will be delivered in English by Dr. Mauk with simultaneous translation provided in Chinese. Additional course materials will be provided in Chinese. At the end of the course, participants will gain competency in basic rehabilitation nursing skills and a certificate of practice will be issued jointly by CARF, Chinese local rehabilitation governing authority, and LIH.
LIH Investment & Management is licensed by Beijing, P.R.C as a comprehensive rehabilitation service management and investment company. LIH has a wide health care network both domestically and internationally, with a team of professionals with experience in international healthcare, investment, and enterprise management.

The Princess Saves Herself in This One is the debut collection of poetry by American poet Amanda Lovelace, first self-published in 2016 through CreateSpace and then published by Andrews McMeel Publishing in 2017. Its narrative arc follows a princess who is learning to become her own savior; the semi-autobiographical book's author is the princess. It is the first installment in a series called Women Are Some Kind of Magic, which focuses on the resilience of women. The book won the Goodreads Choice Award for poetry in 2016.

Sections
The Princess Saves Herself in This One has four sections, each showing the princess's progression in agreement with an overlying theme.

The Princess
The first section focuses mainly on the author, and her battles in the past. It goes through her relationships with family members, her younger life, and her past assault. This section ends when the princess locks herself away in a tower and waits for a prince to come and rescue her.

The Damsel
In the second section of poems the princess confronts the issues that have come in her life. They are represented in the ideas of the "big bad wolf" who has hurt her in the past and the dragons who have terrorized her, as well as talking about the death of her mother and her sister.

The Queen
The third section of poems, in which the princess stands up to face the dragon, deals with the grief she faced in losing her mother, and how she felt when she fell in love with the right person.

You
In the final section Lovelace encourages the reader to believe that they can deal with anything.

Series and themes
According to one reviewer, The Princess Saves Herself in This One and the accompanying volumes "take some of the most recognized female archetypes — princess, witch, and soon, mermaid — and retells their narratives in a modern, feminist, empowered way". Lovelace said the book is about the abuse she has faced in her life, and added that the book was going to be uncomfortable for people. She told Bustle, "If there's one thing I'm trying to do with this particular poetry series, it's to show the rich inner lives of women with a focus on our hidden everyday struggles".

The second volume, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One, centers on a witch and deals with "anger and rape culture"; it was published in March 2018, again by Andrews McMeel. The Mermaid's Voice Returns In This One, about sexual trauma and healing, is published in the spring of 2019.

Critical reception
Reviews of The Princess were mixed, and some controversy followed. Sales were going "remarkably well" for a collection of poetry.

E. Ce Miller, for The Bustle, said it was full of "autobiographical pain, subtle strength, and quiet resilience". Some, however, take issue with the idea of Instapoetry, a category under which the princess does fall. Instapoetry is poetry mostly posted on the social media site Instagram which closely follows the style of Charles Bukowski. The style is heavily criticized for its simplicity in the subjects. There has been debate as to whether the style is killing or reviving poetry.

So you've decided to get "OFF" the Roller Coaster Ride! Feeling kind of dizzy I know. But you are assured to get your balance back soon. However, I won't lie to you, it will take some adjusting to this whole, "CHANGE of PACE".
You've been coming to this place for years! So it's only expected to be a challenge to break away from habit. In fact, it was kind of a tradition. Your parents went to the park of "SELF DECEPTION" when they were youngsters. Your grandparents even went, and it's been passed down from generation to generation. But, make sure when you WALK out the park to turn in your, "LIFE TIME MEMBERSHIP". Ask them to BURN IT! This is one gift you don't want to give to your children.
So, first things first….you've got to, 1. LEAVE THE PARK! If you are not going to leave the park, then I can almost guarantee that you will be back on those rides in no time.
Walking will feel abnormal, even painful at first. You will also feel strange, kind of out-of-place. However, your focus will change soon and you won't have the desire to play those games and ride those coasters any more. 2. CHANGE YOUR FOCUS!
I Corinthians 13:11, " When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Once in your car, don't look back! While you are leaving the park of "SELF DECEPTION", if you look through the rear view mirror, the objects in the mirror seem closer than they really are. It will FOOL YOU into thinking you can never get away. But, you have to keep your eyes fixed/focused on the road AHEAD. 3. DON'T LOOK BACK.
Looking back makes you long for what you thought was there. Then you start remembering the "GOOD TIMES", that really weren't so good. Hence, why they call it the park of, "SELF DECEPTION".
Some of those you call friends may still attend the park and seem to be very happy doing so. But have you ever noticed the stench from their clothes, or the stains they wear, never looking clean or refreshed. Only where a smile for a short while, as you had in times past. You can see them more clearly the farther away you get from the park of ,"SELF DECEPTION". You had never paid much attention until now! 5. BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE!
Galatians 6:7, "Be not DECEIVED, GOD is not Mocked; for WHATEVER a man sows, that shall he also Reap.".
Lastly, you can leave the park of "SELF DECEPTION", but where are you going? There is this place I know called, "SEE CLEARLY". It's a resort of sorts. I was invited there many years ago, and found it to be a place of PEACE & REST! The admission is FREE, and you can invite as many people as you'd like! No limit! I no longer worry about leaving broke! In fact, I have never left! I no longer worry of the sick feeling, and the stench I once carried and offending those around me by the smell from my own mess. Here, I bath in the SON and its healing rays. I enjoy relaxing by the ocean, and drinking my favorite drink called, "MADE UP MIND" it flows freely to everyone who enters THIRSTY! I invite you to come and join me here. I promise, once you arrive, you will never want to leave! 7. SURRENDER YOUR WILL.
Thank you for your post. I just stumbled upon it. Please keep writing these God inspired messages. =D Good bless.
Thank you so much for your encouragement. It warms my heart that others are touched and by Gods grace I will Continue to write! God bless and know U R Loved.


DIRT 4 is all about embracing fear.it's about the thrill,exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to Offroad racing.it's about loving the feeling of pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop,going for the grap that's too small and seeing how much air you can get.be Fearless.
Dirt 4 features a game-changing system called your stage: an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce an almost-anfinite number of unique stages at the press of a button. You chosee your location and set the route parameters, then your stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends and then challenge them to beat your time.


text: Taylors' history begins with the opening of the Chick Springs resort community in 1840. Nearby in 1869, Alfred Taylor finished acquiring all the land that would eventually become the heart of Taylors and successfully lobbied for the railroad to be built through his property a few years later. A spur track known as Taylor's Turnout developed into Taylor's Station, which led to the economic and civic center shifting from Chick Springs in the 1880s. By the early 1900s the apostrophe was lost from the name.

Time Again to Play "Name that Governor"
I've changed a few identifying words in the following story. See if you can who the new governor it refers to is and his party affiliation:
"The governor called for 'a fundamental realignment' of state government on Wednesday, saying the state needs to rethink the services it provides and face up to its overspending problem before it is too late. 'We need radical reform, we need a new approach, we need a new perspective,' said the governor, who was giving his first state address. 'And we need it now.'
"The speech was emphatically pro-business and centrist, suggesting he is modeling himself more after his former boss than his father, a former governor of the state.
"The new governor mentioned the word 'tax' or 'taxes' 21 times, mostly to denounce them and promise to lower them. 'What made us a great state was not a large government complex,' he said. 'It was a vibrant private sector that was creating great jobs in the state."
"The proposals laid out by the governor – including reducing the number of agencies, authorities and departments by 20 percent and capping the annual growth of state government to the rate of inflation — set up a clash with the more liberal Democrats who control the State Assembly."
Shocking Answer: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Democrat. The story was originally published by the New York Times today.
Bet you thought it was a Republican, didn't you? The times, they are a changing. I hope Gov. Sandoval's team is squirreling these words away for future use when the liberal Democrats who control the Nevada Legislature (hello, Steven Horsford!) go off their rockers and call him a right-wing extremist this upcoming session.

Svvamp – S/T
70s rock's finest done with originality and laid-back style
Released on 18 August 2016 by Riding Easy Records and reviewed by Atom Heart Mutha
Swedish trio Svvamp are a group of friends that came together through a love of jamming, rock, folk and blues. The band are described as being without self conscious pretence, a band that that truly echoes the vibe and mood of an era where the rulebooks were burned, this debut album was recorded by the band themselves.
Opening track 'Serpent in the Sky' is a mid paced bluesy rock prowl, shades of Paul Rogers and Free are there within the mix. 'Fresh Cream' unsurprisingly sounds very much like Clapton and Co and there are nods to Led Zeppelins 'How Many More Times' on 'Burning Down'. The album settles down to a more blissful state with 'Free at Last' and the wonderful 'Time' has an easy going southern rock thing going on. Standout track for me 'Big Rest' follows and somehow manages to have the spirit of the Grateful Dead inhabit it, and as a big fan of GD its a high compliment to pay them.
Elsewhere on the record things take a weighty turn with 'Blue in the Face' and 'Oh, Girl' before closing with the acoustic sounding 'Down by the River' which musically has an upbeat feel. It's fair to say my level of anticipation for this record was high, so high in fact that on the first listen I didn't hear anything matching my expectations, I was open to something very heavy given the current releases from label Riding Easy Records. It was on the second play that I realized I'd missed the point.
Svvamp aren't a band with hard rocking 70's Deep Purple or Black Sabbath intent, it's not about the heavy hook and blistering solo's; instead the band craft brilliant songs emotively and they are often soulfully driven, there's no doubt that their music is rooted in another decade, but its delivery is done in a highly skilled and wonderfully laid back manner. Don't be mistaken, there are rockers on here, but its tracks like 'Time' submerged in Creedence Clearwater Revival and Rich Robinsons southern harmony stylings where the band shine beautifully.
There are plenty of bands out there right now doing a decent job of emulating rocks (arguably) finest decade, however Svvamp are doing it in a far better way; there are a wealth of influences that are easy to pick up on yet the band manage with ease to take them and make something with a very definite identity of their own. This is an album that you'll be able to put on again and again for years to come, highly recommended.

Many economic links connect the cities embedded in systems of cities (for example commercial links, financial ownership links…). They participate in the intrinsic complexity of these systems. The interactions and connections between places due to the economic stakeholders can substantially impact the shape and the dynamics of any system of cities. Especially, networks built up by transnational firms by the ownership of subsidiaries located beyond their territorial borders into foreign systems of cities, could shape the future of related cities. These foreign investors can provide these cities new jobs by the creation or extension of establishments but also sometimes weaken them through a massive control on their total employment, transnational investments being expected to be more volatile than national investments. A new source of data providing interesting insights on the effective location of these impacts on French cities is now available (see box below).
the CLAP data base (also produced by INSEE), to add the level of establishments (the most suitable one for our geographical approach, whereas ORBIS and LIFI are limited to companies).
Our first analyses outline the high concentration of foreign-controlled employment in the biggest cities of the system (figure 1). We could expect this result by observing these networks at the level of the companies, as it is known that their headquarters are more concentrated than their physical locations. Yet even when these jobs are located at the level of establishments, the foreign-controlled activities scale superlinearly (as indicated by the scaling law exponent higher than 1). Foreign-controlled employment is consequently much more concentrated in largest cities. The distribution of these establishments is not proportional to the size of the cities, as it benefits first and foremost to the biggest cities of the system.
Taking into account the power law relationship and the quality of fit which remains nevertheless medium, another major trend appear in our first analysis. The amount of foreign-controlled jobs in the smallest cities is highly variable, some of them being deeply invested by the transnational firms while some others are almost avoided. A more detailed study of this variability show strong regional effects in addition to the hierarchical ones (figure 2). Cities with higher amounts of foreign-controlled jobs than expected by the scaling law are almost always located in Northern and Eastern parts of the country or located near Paris; cities where this amount is lower than expected are located in Southern and Western parts of the country. Thus foreign investors adapt to former spatial trends of urban functional specialization in France.
As urban hierarchy doesn't explain the distribution on its own, further analyses will investigate the effects of the economic specialization of cities, the closeness to bigger cities, or the shape of the networks where these cities are embedded or not. Our intention is to formulate some stylized facts identifying emerging properties and network dynamics that characterize the distribution of the foreign transnational firms into the French system of cities at an unprecedented level of detail. Besides classical multivariate analysis and networks analysis, scaling laws will constitute one of our main analysis tools, as they shed new light on the connection between urban functions, city sizes and economic innovation cycles (Pumain et al., 2006). This thesis, part of the GeoDiverCity program, will contribute an approach historicizing the scaling laws parameters relating them to the innovation cycles and the hierarchical diffusion of innovations theory in the system of cities.

In Washington alone, many families are going through this reality right now, and even though the challenge is huge… there's much that we can do. "We are committed to providing care and support to the local familes who need it the most right now," says Jeremy Olson, agency owner.

Memorials, Not Celebrations!
by Philip Farruggio | May 27, 2022 | Blog | 6 comments
← Previous: Ghetto America Next: Father's Day- A Farruggio Original →
You turn on any recent professional sport competition and you see the obscene propaganda. Before the game starts they call out the honor guard ( many times dressed in camouflage) carrying the flag, as they have the singer belt out our anthem. Where is this ' War' that we apparently are in? To this writer the last war our country was in was WW2. Sadly, ALL the other so called ' Wars' were fabricated acts of US aggression in countless countries. Yet, the public continues to digest this pabulum spoon fed to them by our empire. Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Panama, Iraq 1, Afghanistan, Iraq 2 were futile attempts by our ' Masters of Empire' to control yellow and brown peoples. Some were Proxy engagements, like our aggressions in Korea and Vietnam to go after the Chinese and Russians during the Cold War. For one thing, if Henry Wallace would have succeeded FDR ( The Democratic Party machine stopped him) and become president, perhaps there may have never have been a Cold War. His efforts and ideas were sabotaged by Truman and his handlers, like Senator James Byrnes. The two A bombs were unnecessarily exploded and the 'Black Rain' stained our moral compass… seemingly forever!
What should be done this Memorial Day is to mourn all our military personnel that were killed overseas… sometimes for no God damn reason but empire! We don't need to hear those PR laden phrases like ' Brave Warriors' attached to our honoring of them. We should honor them because, for whatever underhanded reasons, these men and women served in uniform as a sign of duty to their country. In the grand chessboard of empire these folks were ( and are) pawns to sacrifice for the King. It is as cut and dry as that! I love it when all the many right wing Chickenhawks have the audacity to show up to ' Support our troops'. Bush Jr. the war criminal, got his chicken stripes by having daddy get him into the safety of the Texas Air National Guard. In those days, all National Guard personnel would be the LAST military personnel to EVER be shipped overseas. Dick Cheney, war criminal, got his stripes with I believe four or five deferments- while he openly supported the war in Vietnam. Donald Trump too spoke out at the time in favor of ' Fighting Communism' in Vietnam, but had his medical deferment. Fast forward to Iraq War 1 and see how many right wing zealots in government cheered the destruction of Iraq, but refused to join the ' Good fight'. Ditto for 12 years later regarding Iraq War 2. Once again, men ( and some women) of military age would not sign on and go to the fighting, but celebrated the utter destruction of another sovereign nation. Disgusting hypocrites!
Then we have phonies like Barack Obama who was at least consistent in being against the pre-emptive attack and occupation of Iraq. So what does he do once in office? He increases the terrible use of drone missile attacks by 10X over what the Bush Cabal was doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. He lied and never closed Guantanamo, knowing how torture was preeminent there, along with imprisoning forever with no legal recourse. Many troops loved him, mostly because he shared their skin color, not because of anything else. Then Trump comes in, doing as little as possible to help the unfortunate military who are wounded for life. All he did was drop the evil ' Mother of All Bombs' in Afghanistan, to which phony CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria ( so called ' Liberal' ) commented was ' Truly Presidential'. Yes Virginia, there are NO ' Presidential ' presidents.
The Bar-B- Ques will go on this holiday weekend. If only the dead could talk!

GUN PREVENTION 2022 by David Rothauser
I have been advocating for gun control for years, ever since the school attack at Columbine in 2009.
Today it is clearer than ever, that our government will continue taking little or no action to seriously deal with gun violence in America. It was clearly stated in the NY Times, May 25, 2022, that Democrats in Congress, rather than taking a hard line on gun protection, have settled for a compromise with their Republican counter parts.
Gun violence has long ago reached pandemic status here, but the FBI, lawmakers and the Executive Office refuse to see it as an emergency. When we take into account that a President was assassinated, another was gunned down, a senator and a civil rights leader were assassinated and a congresswoman was gunned down, with virtually no change in the status-quo, it becomes clear that lawmakers and Congressional leaders refuse to acknowledge the seriousness of school and public attacks…BUT, when the government is attacked directly by a foreign power (Pearl Harbor and 9/11), the response is instantaneous.
Gun protection laws have, virtually no meaning today. According to Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe, July 6, 2019, expanded background checks will not prevent mass shootings.
The American public, including peace activists, human rights groups and most media outlets, turn a blind eye to the daily slaughter taking place in every nook and cranny of our nation.
Americans, citizens of the greatest democracy in the world, we are in a National EMERGENCY!
Who will act? Who will step forward to enact creative gun violence measures that have a chance of curtailing the continuous rise of mass murder. The following steps are a possible beginning.
Ways to prevent gun violence in America:
#1: Require parents to attend school with their children for one week. Parents keep mouths shut. See what happens. If parents are gunned down, all hell will break loose for gun prevention
#2: Publish police photos immediately following a mass shooting of names and mutilated faces on all media, or is that "inappropriate" for network tv?
#3: Repeal immediately The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that protects gun makers and dealers from Liability when crimes are committed using their products. They are, after all, the SOURCE of gun proliferation. Break the manufacture and distribution at its source and we will see a dramatic drop in gun violence. None of this is pie in the sky yearly. At least 50 other nations can attest to the fact that cutting the source means thousands of live saved
For more stringent emergency measures, may we consider emergency executive orders to:
1: Censure the Republican Party until sensible gun control measures are enacted.
2. Abolish the NRA.
3. Repeal the 2nd Amendment

great insights David. here's the skinny on the Texas shooting that NO ONE in media , law enforcement ( though they should) and right wing gov't will mention: The 17 or so officers who stood silent for close to an hour inside the school were obviously SCARED of being shot with an assault weapon if they breached the room. If they knew the shooter had a handgun or simple rifle they may have got the courage to do something. They should be the loudest voices shouting for NO assault weapon sales!!
Miles on May 28, 2022 at 6:16 pm
I agree with David Rothauser's insights and echo Mr.Farruggio's sentiments…..just wondering aloud now: I wonder ,given the historic and systemic "intolerance "of people of color in the U.S.,that law enforcement and police might have acted more quickly if the children were not Hispanic… angered whites to my musings ,please spare me your pablum…there has always been a structural and historical basis for whites in power to de-legitimize the humanity of others.YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IF YOU BOTHER TO READ/STUDY U.S HISTORY…..it doesn't mean that you as an individual might harbor these beliefs…it means this mindset preceded you…..to the honest police officers and law enforcement personnel in this country,your work and efforts should be rewarded with a higher salary……to everybody:IF ALL LIVES MATTER,THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR A BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT.
wow! right on Miles! are you a teacher or historian? very insightful.
Flattered by your reaction,Mr.Farruggio…I am a sociologist, but I owe you many thanks for giving me more of an historical grounding.Over the years I have learned much from your journalistic pieces on many current events and historical events..They have greatly deepened my knowledge base…many thanks…Continue doing what you do..I only hope more of the public gets to read you.

The Fairfield Ledger: M.U.M.'s newest building sets new green standards
M.U.M.'s newest building sets new green standards
By DIANE VANCE, Ledger staff writer | Apr 23, 2012
It's the ultimate green building, said Craig Pearson, executive vice president of Maharishi University of Management, at Friday's grand opening of the Sustainable Living Center.
Pearson was quoting how The Associated Press described the newest building on campus while it was still under construction in an article that was published in national media, including Forbes, Business Week and MSNBC.
"This sets new standards," said Pearson.
David Fisher, chairman of the Sustainable Living program, founded at M.U.M. in 2003, said plans for the building began in 2004.
"Its design evolved over time," said Fisher. "The intention has been to be off the grid in all ways.
"Scores of environmental buildings are being built across the country, some much larger than this, but this is the only building to do it all in one building."
Fisher said constructing the Sustainable Living Center was a teaching tool for builders, students and anyone who had a part in finishing the building.
"It's a work in progress, a living building," said Fisher.
Sustainability comes from materials used, the design and placement of windows for natural day lighting, rain catchment for water (not yet operational), solar panels and a wind turbine.
A classroom used for Friday's grand opening news conference was furnished with about 21 wooden tables, constructed on campus.
"These tables are made from 19 different plant families all harvested within 100 miles of here," said Fisher. "The differences in colors are natural, indicating the different woods."
Faculty member Lonnie Gamble said designers and builders had to think outside the box on this building.
"This building and university are a great inspiration for the world," he said.
Designer John Lippman has designed all the new buildings on campus since 2000. He listed the Sustainability Center as following architectural guidelines of Vastu, meeting gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification with plans to reach platinum, meeting the Living Building Challenge and meeting Building Biology standards.
"Vastu guidelines means the building is in harmony with nature," said Lippman. "We have the silent core at the center of the building. High windows allow daylight to extend from two directions into the building's rooms.
"We used natural materials in here, earth from the campus and whole tree trunks from Wisconsin."
Sustainable Living student Makayla McDonald said the building reflects the people in the program.
"Community is strength," she said. "This building has already drawn many people to come here. But it's not just a building of classrooms. This is the merging of our dreams for the future. I want to express profound gratitude for this university and program. At age 20, it's very important to have dreams and get to see them become reality."
Fairfield Mayor and M.U.M. board of trustees member Ed Malloy, said the university was showing the kind of leadership in education that inspires everyone to consider new horizons with the grand opening of the Sustainable Living Center.
"In 2008, Fairfield began a process of creating a strategic plan for a sustainable community," he said. "In 2009, we published the Fairfield Go Green plan and received national recognition.
"The theme that runs through the plan is to demonstrate for ourselves and others what a city can look like as it adopts new strategies and community designs. This building sets the highest standard."
Malloy congratulated the university and everyone involved. He noted it was worthy to be called a learning center.
"Students participated in making the very materials that the walls are made of and participated as the mechanical systems that power the building were assembled," said Malloy. "They will always know as they study in here that they are sheltered and powered by the very elements of nature that surround them — the earth, trees, wind and sun.
"Last year we celebrated gold LEED certification for Hy-Vee, and Kum & Go completed a renovation that earns them a silver LEED certification."
The Sustainability Center building produces its own kilowatt energies and can send extra back to the grid to use to power other buildings on campus. With more fundraising, the building will complete the rainwater catchment system and waste treatment process, to move from gold to platinum certification.

It doesn't have to be. There were three things left in the back of Suchong's clinic: A genetic sample of Elizabeth's (the hair), the prototype Vita-Chamber, and a Little Sister who knows where Elizabeth's body is. Add in Jack, and this forms my basis for the Jackabeth pairing. In the universes where Jack was a savior, Elizabeth can live again. I hope this gives you comfort.
Beautiful composition btw, loving the lil sister's hand!
Elegant in its simplicity of the message. Well-done.
Feel the same way with many other fans crying over everything we have been through and the way this game and its universe tied in everything so perfectly, cannot imagine any gaming experience that will ever come close to what Bioshock has presented.
Such a beautiful way to show everything that does bring you back to the last moments of the DLC and yet not give anything else away but more mystery. Love the way the developers did this both in a way to close up their jobs but even more close the world of Bioshock in not beautiful package.
Yikes, sorry to keep being swayed away from your own work here RunawayKid but man its an ending I still can't get over. Either way though you deliver so much of what we all felt in that moment when it all came together and everything that Elizabeth tried so hard to stop even while being stuck in Rapture for good.
Love the way you present both Elizabeth, Jack and the Little Sister's hand in the way they are all very much connected towards the one goal. The attention had to be done obviously towards the hands and heck you didn't skip out on anything less than 100%. For that its so cool you vary the details of the hands so clearly with the delicate feel of Elizabeth, the chains and the famous white shirt of Jack to the even smaller and hurt details for the Little Sister.
Just as well a clever idea on where you placed the hands as well. If you spread them out equally you'd make a peace sign, but you were much smarter then that. Instead I love the way you cast the hand of the Little Sister down below the other two hands of our heroes like she's reaching out of the darkness of Rapture to them in the light. You further that notion by even making the Little Sister's hand and arm much more darker in your coloring so again props goes to being very artistic in that area.
Rather like the fact you didn't use anything Bioshock 2 in the pic here as you might have noticed in the DLC itself they didn't use any Biochock 2 relations thankfully. Nothing against that 2nd game but how much more emotion you felt with Elizabeth and Jack were alot more clearer with Ken Levine on board.
Yeah...........I know that EXACT feeling your describing. Not to try and whine and dine either but its not that great after all your work and all you can get is just favs and one or two worded comments that sum up your work in what seems llike it took only 5 seconds, bleh. Either way I much more towards complimenting where the artist does create and just as well dive deeper into idea behind a game, movie, character, and etc just like you've shown here.
This Helps me like all the other Bioshock Fans who are in mourning for the series and in mourning for . . . for . . . (begins to cry) ELIZABETH!!!
And thus: The Circle Is Unbroken.
But the story will never end.
ahhh thank you so much! I was hoping to have that effect, since that ending was so powerful and left a huge impression on me :'3 I'm really glad you like it!
8'D I don't count Bioshock 2 as part of the canon, sorry.
Wonderful art, by the way.
It really doesn't! Thank you!
wow awesome job! i am not ready to say good bye yet!
Feelings!!!! Beautiful picture by the way.
I adore the simplicity of this one.

Veterans, feeling abandoned, stand by Trump | The Daily Gazette
Veterans, feeling abandoned, stand by Trump
Even as other voters abandon Trump, veterans remain among his most loyal supporters, an unlikely con
NICHOLAS CONFESSORE/The New York Times
Donald Trump speaks at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., on July 26. Even as other voters abandon Trump, veterans remain among his most loyal supporters, an unlikely connection forged by the widening gulf they feel fr...
The roster of retired military officers endorsing Hillary Clinton in September glittered with decoration and rank. One former general led the American surge in Anbar, one of the most violent provinces in Iraq. Another commanded U.S.-led allied forces battling the Taliban in Afghanistan. Yet another trained the first Iraqis to combat Islamic insurgents in their own country.
But as Election Day approaches, many veterans are instead turning to Donald Trump, a businessman who avoided the Vietnam draft and has boasted of gathering foreign policy wisdom by watching television shows.
Even as other voters abandon Trump, veterans remain among his most loyal supporters, an unlikely connection forged by the widening gulf they feel from other Americans.
After 15 years at war, many who served in Iraq or Afghanistan are proud of their service but exhausted by its burdens. They distrust the political class that reshaped their lives and are frustrated by how little their fellow citizens seem to understand about their experience.
Perhaps most strikingly, they welcome Trump's blunt attacks on America's entanglements overseas.
"When we jump into wars without having a real plan, things like Vietnam and things like Iraq and Afghanistan happen," said William Hansen, a former Marine who served two National Guard tours in Iraq. "This is 16 years. This is longer than Vietnam."
In small military towns in California and North Carolina, veterans of all eras cheer Trump's promises to fire officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs. His attacks on political correctness evoke their frustrations with tortured rules of engagement crafted to serve political, not military, ends. In Trump's forceful assertion of strength, they find a balm for wounds that left them broken and torn.
"He calls it out," said Joshua Macias, a former Navy petty officer and fifth-generation veteran who lives in the Tidewater region of Virginia, where he organized a "Veterans for Trump" group last year. "We have intense emotion connected to these wars. The way it was politicized, the way they changed the way we fight in a war setting — it's horrible how they did that."
Now, as battlegrounds in the Middle East smoke and rumble once more, as VA wait times creep up instead of down, Trump's candidacy — and its resonance among veterans — is helping expose the gulf of culture and class between many Americans and those who fight wars in their name.
There are 22 million living veterans in the United States, and many love or loathe Trump for the same reasons other Americans do. But polling, interviews with dozens of veterans and those who study their political views indicate a strong preference for Trump over Clinton. He now leads Clinton by 19 points among veterans registered to vote, while trailing her among all voters by three points, according to a Fox News poll released Oct. 18.
Veterans are more likely than other Americans to view Trump favorably, and less likely to rate Clinton positively. In mid-October, 43 percent of veterans expressed a favorable view of him in a Gallup tracking poll, while just 30 percent saw Clinton positively.
In interviews with more than three dozen veterans, many praised Trump for candidly criticizing the costs of war, an issue they see few politicians in either party taking on. And they are unconcerned with how or when he arrived at his positions.
"The Iraq War was a disaster," said Dustin Stewart, a former Army captain and Iraq veteran. "He is at least not trying to tiptoe around it. And I think some of the other Republicans were afraid of it."
Growing Military Caste
For decades, Americans who serve in the armed forces have been growing more segregated from their fellow countrymen. Fewer than 1 percent of Americans now serve in the military. Those who join are likely to have parents, uncles or aunts who served before them, forming a kind of military caste. And on the post-9/11 battlefields, lower-income and less-educated communities have shouldered a greater share of American casualties than in past wars — even Vietnam.
In the depths of the recession, veterans suffered higher than average unemployment. Career military retirees faced cuts to pensions after the sequester deal between President Barack Obama and Congress, while other veterans endured long waits for the health care promised to them by the federal government.
Medical advances reduced battlefield deaths but also, paradoxically, made veterans' sacrifice less visible to the public. They came home not in body bags but with missing limbs and traumatic brain injuries, leaving Americans less sensitive to the costs of further war, according to Douglas L. Kriner, a political scientist at Boston University who has studied post-9/11 veterans.
Nonfatal casualties seem "not have the political punch that fatal casualties do," Kriner said.
By the middle of Obama's first term, the majority of post-9/11 veterans said they believed Americans did not understand military life, according to the Pew Research Center. Sixty percent said that the United States should pay less attention to problems overseas.
Some former and current military personnel have embraced libertarian candidates, such as Ron Paul, a former U.S. representative from Texas, who criticized American interventions abroad. In 2012, Paul raised more money from active-duty service members during the early phase of the campaign than all other Republican candidates combined, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Stewart grew up in a conservative family in Texas, where Rush Limbaugh's show often played on the radio. In 2000, he cast a proud vote for George W. Bush. But six years later, he was leading an infantry platoon outside Ramadi, a hotbed of the insurgency then enveloping parts of Iraq. Stewart returned home alive but disillusioned. He supported Paul in the 2008 Republican primary race and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee, in the 2012 election.
"I don't want pity. I just want people to care," said Stewart, adding, "Do you know what your politicians are sending us to do?"
'A Breath of Fresh Air'
In mid-February, boos rang from the rafters of a performing arts center in Greenville, South Carolina. Trump, onstage with remaining rivals for the Republican nomination, had just committed what seemed like a major apostasy, assailing the Iraq War and attacking Bush with gusto. "They lied," Trump said. "They said there were weapons of mass destruction — there were none and they knew there were none."
His words startled the Republican establishment. But in the front row, Daniel Cortez nodded along. Cortez, a 65-year-old Marine Corps veteran who served in Vietnam, did not like everything about Trump. Yet he seemed to be speaking a different language, Cortez said in a recent interview, more like the one veterans themselves spoke. Trump argued for a military that was bigger and better equipped but also used more sparingly.
"Mr. Trump is a breath of fresh air because he is promoting peace through strength," Cortez said.
For some conservative veterans, Trump's criticisms of the Iraq War have allowed them to vent a stew of emotions: Relief and regret, bitterness and pride. They were repelled by liberal anti-war politics and felt little in common with the war's most prominent critics. So they held back their misgivings for years, unable to admit to their friends and sometimes themselves that so much had been wasted.
"Nobody likes to say that George W. Bush was a bad president," said David Fuqua, who spent four years in the Marines and served in Afghanistan in 2011. "Having to defend the rationale for the Iraq War for so long, and then to have someone on the stage talk about how it was a mistake, touched a real nerve."
Trump's national security proposals, some veterans supporting him acknowledged, are often vague or contradictory. But many heard in Trump's voice a return to the days of big military budgets and boundless manpower. His sweeping denunciation of Washington elites echoed their own grumbling.
"They look at Clinton as a continuance of what we've had for the last 16 years through two administrations," said Anthony Zinni, a retired Marine Corps general who led the U.S. Central Command in the late 1990s.
Where Bush acted rashly in sending troops into Iraq, some veterans said, the Obama administration had acted politically in pulling them out. When the black flags of the Islamic State rose over Fallujah and Mosul two years ago, they recalled the sweat or blood they or their friends had shed there. Politicians had started the war, they felt, and politicians had lost it.
"This war became so politicized, so PC," Hansen said. Trump might take them to war again, he had concluded, but Trump would not hold them back.
"Under George, all we could do was straight right hooks and a couple of uppercuts," Hansen said. "When Obama took over, we could only do straight lefts — and we had to say 'we're going to punch you' first."
'I Think He's Genuine'
In 2010, in a bloodily contested river valley in southern Afghanistan, Michael Verardo stepped on an old Russian-made land mine wired to two jugs packed with explosives, rocks and nails. He lost most of his leg immediately. To save his left arm, medics sewed it temporarily onto his back.
Three years ago, Verardo and his wife, Sarah, moved to North Carolina, where the winters are easier. Though he has two Purple Hearts, it sometimes takes months for him to get an appointment with a neurologist at the VA.
This summer, at Trump's invitation, the family flew to Cleveland for the Republican National Convention. On the first night, Verardo and his wife sat in the VIP box with Trump's family. Trump seemed to understand, Verardo recalled. Maybe he would be different.
"I think he's genuine," Verardo said.
One of Trump's earliest policy speeches, last October, offered a plan that would allow federal officials to more freely fire and discipline VA employees. After the VA scandal two years ago, when investigations revealed widespread delays and the deaths of some veterans while waiting for care, public employee unions fiercely oppose such measures.
Clinton, who has her own plan for improving VA care, said last year that the scandal had "not been as widespread as it has been made out to be."
"Trump was the first guy to recognize the populist appeal of this problem," said Paul J. Rieckhoff, the chief executive of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Trump's veterans notice how often he professes his love for them on the stump. They take note when decorated ex-soldiers introduce him at events. When Trump decided to skip a Republican debate last winter in Iowa, he substituted a telethon to raise money for veterans organizations. So what if Trump took months to disgorge the money: Name another candidate in the race, they said, who had bothered to raise millions of dollars for veterans.
Trump has "an empathy and a sentiment about what the military has been through, the low morale," said Howie R. Lind, a Republican activist and former Navy commander who lives in Northern Virginia.
Lind began hosting weekly Trump dinners for local veterans last spring, promoting them on Facebook, booking back rooms in diners. A few dozen people turned into 80, then 100.
When Trump talks about veterans, Lind said, "it's not like it's a 'them,' or a special interest group. It's America."
