Felon who killed teen in drug-fueled to be sentenced in March
Riverside County Sheriff's Department
William Patrick Causer Jr. was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of Summer Carbone.
MURRIETA - A convicted drunken driver who killed his girlfriend's 15-year-old daughter and seriously injured her younger sister when he slammed his van into a utility pole across the street from the Murrieta Police Department while high on methamphetamine is slated to be sentenced next month to 17 years to life in state prison.
A jury on Monday found 29-year-old William Patrick Causer Jr. of Hemet guilty of second-degree murder for the March 31, 2016, death of Summer Carbone of Rialto.
The panel also convicted Causer of child endangerment and sentence-enhancing great bodily injury allegations.
Causer is being held without bail at the Byrd Detention Center pending sentencing March 15 at the Southwest Justice Center.
According to prosecutors, the defendant was driving 60 mph on Jefferson Avenue while under the influence of meth when he lost control of the van as he passed in front of the police department at 2 Town Square. The vehicle crashed head-on into a light standard.
Causer and his then-girlfriend, 37-year-old Rebekah Joy Davis of Rialto, were strapped into their seats and escaped with minor injuries.
The woman's daughters were asleep in the rear of the van and were not wearing seatbelts. The older girl suffered catastrophic injuries and died at the scene. Her 10-year-old sister suffered a lacerated spleen and broken right leg.
Davis pleaded guilty to child cruelty and was sentenced in August 2016 to four years in state prison.
According to court records, Causer had two prior DUI convictions, as well as convictions for receiving stolen property and felony possession of controlled substances.
Under state law, anytime a defendant has been convicted of DUI and received warnings about the perils of drinking and driving, he or she can be charged with murder when responsible for a deadly crash.

Q: opencv stitching with free dll I have a function in my project that would do stitching, the function is working fine, it is very simple:
Mat output(m_Img, true), pano; // a panaoramic image

    bool try_use_gpu = true;
    Stitcher iSticher = Stitcher::createDefault(try_use_gpu);
    // Set Feature finder to be ORB
    iSticher.setFeaturesFinder(new detail::OrbFeaturesFinder());

    try{

        Stitcher::Status status = iSticher.stitch(Imgs, pano);
        if (status != Stitcher::OK)
        {
            LOG("Error stitching - Code: %d", int(status));
            return -1;
        }
    }
    catch(exception e)
    {
        LOG("Cannot Stitch Image,%s",e.what());
    }

The code works well and I was able to stitch images fairly well. The only problem is that when I want to deploy my code, I realized that I have to use non-free dll. Otherwise, the .exe won't run. My questions are: in order to use Stitcher class from opencv does that mean you have to pay, even if you are not using SURF or SIFT algorithms? Is there a way to do it without using "nonfree dlls"?
Note: I am using opencv 2.4.2. Edit: I also tested it with OpenCV 2.4.11

A: So, after a lot of digging. I think I have found a solution to this issue:
There is a flag in opencv_modules.hpp called: HAVE_OPENCV_NONFREE
If you undefine or comment the definition of this flag and build opencv from source then this should fix this issue, i.e. opencv_stitching.dll will not depeneds on opencv_non-free.dll

My ESSR
ESSR 2020: THANK YOU!
ESSR 2020 goes virtual
"Turning ideas into reality.
Be part of the translation!"
"Correlation of science with
the art of surgical practice"
Dear ESSR members,
It is my great honor and pleasure to introduce the new board of the ESSR, voted in at our last meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Prof. Wolfgang Jungraithmayr, treasurer, has taken over from Prof. René Tolba. Professor Jungraithmayr is based in Rostock, Germany and is the head of the department of Thoracic surgery and an esteemed researcher specialized in lung cancer and organ transplantation.
Dr. Mikael Chetboun, secretary general, has taken over from Dr. Thomas Hubert. Dr. Chetboun is a General and Endocrine surgeon from Lille, France specialized in islet of Langerhans and pancreas transplantation surgery.
Dr Lisa Rancan, a biomolecular researcher in surgical research, based in Madrid, Spain and past congress president of the ESSR 2018.
Dr. Jaroslav Chlupac, a Vascular and Transplantation Surgeon from Prague, Czech Republic who is active in the field of surgical research with interests in vascular tissue engineering and transplantation.
Dr. Thomas Theologou, a Cardiovascular surgeon based in Lugano, Switzerland and Liverpool, United Kingdom, and past ESSR congress president in 2015.
Dr. Manuel Maglione, associate professor of the General and Transplantation surgery department in Innsbruck, Austria, and congress president of the ESSR 2020.
And myself, Dr. Konstantinos Vakalopoulos, president, has taken over from Prof. Jiri Froněk.
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Konstantinos Vakalopoulos. I am a hand surgeon in Geneva, Switzerland and have obtained a PhD in surgical research on the subject of tissue adhesives in 2016. I am still active in surgical research, and also in the creation of a national registry for hand surgery. I am half-Dutch, half-Greek and have lived in various places in Europe and the USA. I have been an active member of the ESSR since 2011 at the Aachen meeting, and have been serving the board for the last years. After presiding a successful ESSR 2019 conference, with many long-time ESSR participants as well as many new faces, I am pleased to announce that I have been given the opportunity to take the ESSR forward in the next years, as the new president of our great society.
I would like to take an opportunity to thank the exiting board members, Jiri Froněk, René Tolba and Thomas Hubert for their hard work and dedication. They led our society through some difficult times and were able to keep the focus on the future, as well as extending their mandates to help the ESSR the best way they could: on behalf of the new board members of the ESSR, thank you! We hope to profit from your experiences and hope that you will stay close during the coming years.
The ESSR is going into a new phase. This year's meeting has proven that there is a great interest in bringing like-minded researchers and surgeons together in a single broad conference. We have found our niche: We are the bridge between super-specialized international surgical conferences and national meetings, and give the opportunity to young surgeons to present their research and to benefit from experiences from a large forum of researchers, surgeons and engineers. We have had a lot of positive feedback after this year's meeting, during which several new initiatives were introduced: we opted for a two-day conference with a closing ceremony on Friday night, with more than 100 people staying for the closing drinks after the awards ceremony. Furthermore, we grouped the parallel sessions by surgical specialization, so that participants may choose to follow a more tailor made program adapted to their research interests. Of course, the plenary sessions hosted all participants and stimulated interesting debates and new ideas.
The new board is full of ideas to take the ESSR forward, we vow to be transparent and actively communicate with our members. We are now in the handover phase of our mandate, so it is a perfect time to ask our members if they have any feedback or ideas for the future. Please do not hesitate to contact our board or myself directly.
I would like to ask you to please register as a member of the ESSR. We need more paying members to increase our power and visibility. Please note that the annual fee is deducted from the congress registration fee, and that we now have a new web-based registration system!
Lastly, please save the date for the ESSR 2020 Virtual congress, which will take place in the beautiful town of Innsbruck, Austria from 10-11 December, 2020.
On behalf of the ESSR board,
Surgically yours,
Dr Konstantinos Vakalopoulos

I know it is a lot of code but if somebody could give me an answer I would be so thankfull.

A: Your problem lies in mosLoadModules( $position='left', $style=0 ) function . The foreach ($modules as $module) { at line 156 doesn't have an ending tag. This issue applies to if ($params->get('cache') == 1 && $mosConfig_caching == 1) { at line 163.

Q: why is the math in my code not working properly? I just started coding and tried to make a type of a calculator that i could come up with by myself. Today I realized that for example when calculating 2.3 - 3 the result is -0.7000000000000002
so I am not looking for advice in how to make my code better tbh but to learn just why it is not making the calculations correctly. I know this code is bad but here it is:
num_1 = input("Enter a number: ")
math_problem_type = input("what kind of a math problem? Enter +, -, * or / : ")
num_2 = input("Enter another number: ")

def addition(num_1, num_2):
    return float(num_1) + float(num_2)

def difference(num_1, num_2):
    return float(num_1) - float(num_2)

def product(num_1, num_2):
    return float(num_1) * float(num_2)

def quotient(num_1, num_2):
    return float(num_1) / float(num_2)

if math_problem_type == "+":
    print(addition(num_1, num_2))
elif math_problem_type == "-":
    print(difference(num_1, num_2))
elif math_problem_type == "*":
    print(product(num_1, num_2))
elif math_problem_type == "/":
    print(quotient(num_1, num_2))
else:
    print("you done fucked up bruv")

In the United States more than 700,000 people suffer a stroke each year, and approximately two-thirds of these individuals survive and require rehabilitation. The goals of rehabilitation are to help survivors become as independent as possible and to attain the best possible quality of life. Even though rehabilitation does not "cure" the effects of stroke in that it does not reverse brain damage, rehabilitation can substantially help people achieve the best possible long-term outcome.
Rehabilitation helps stroke survivors relearning skills that are lost when part of the brain is damaged. For example, these skills can include coordinating leg movements in order to walk or carrying out the steps involved in any complex activity. Rehabilitation also teaches survivors new ways of performing tasks to circumvent or compensate for any residual disabilities. Individuals may need to learn how to bathe and dress using only one hand, or how to communicate effectively when their ability to use language has been compromised. There is a strong consensus among rehabilitation experts that the most important element in any rehabilitation program is carefully directed, well-focused, repetitive practice—the same kind of practice used by all people when they learn a new skill, such as playing the piano or pitching a baseball.

Rehabilitative therapy begins in the acute-care hospital after the person's overall condition has been stabilized, often within 24 to 48 hours after the stroke. The first steps involve promoting independent movement because many individuals are paralyzed or seriously weakened. Patients are prompted to change positions frequently while lying in bed and to engage in passive or active range of motion exercises to strengthen their stroke-impaired limbs. ("Passive" range-of-motion exercises are those in which the therapist actively helps the patient move a limb repeatedly, whereas "active" exercises are performed by the patient with no physical assistance from the therapist.) Depending on many factors—including the extent of the initial injury—patients may progress from sitting up and being moved between the bed and a chair to standing, bearing their own weight, and walking, with or without assistance. Rehabilitation nurses and therapists help patients who are able to perform progressively more complex and demanding tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and using a toilet, and they encourage patients to begin using their stroke-impaired limbs while engaging in those tasks. Beginning to reacquire the ability to carry out these basic activities of daily living represents the first stage in a stroke survivor's return to independence.

After a person has had a stroke, it may be necessary for them to wear a medical ID bracelet to communicate any ongoing conditions or medications that they are taking. It may also be a good idea to use a medical alarm system in the home in case of an emergency.

What a difference a month or two makes. A bit less than two months ago, we warned of clouds on the horizon for rim brake rims. Now, HED Belgium+ are reduced to stock on hand, which is all 20/24 and quite limited. Easton was the curve ball we didn't quite see coming - they're limited to almost none and from all appearances they're gone. Boyd has limited drillings of the Altamont series and the coated ceramic (not really ceramic) rims are being discontinued once stock runs out. There are a handful of sets of AForce machined side wall in 20/24.
Through our history, it's been more normal for the crown of best selling product to change from year to year. There were two or three years when the Rail 52 held the crown, but in other years the title has passed from year to year. That's the nature of the bike business, which absolutely thrives on technological change (notice the value-neutral word there) and where no word sells better than "new." But even in that context, this is a bit jarring. These were supposed to be stable, bedrock products, no?
Fortunately, there are other options. Velocity Quill rims are something we've just overlooked the last few years. Some of you might remember that we had a pretty substantial issue with Velocity A23 rim quality when they brought production from Australia to the US. In the "time flies" category, that was so long ago that I still lived in MD when that happened. I moved back to RI in 2014. The current Quill is something of a Quill 2.0, as the product that was first launched was aggressively light and it had some unwanted characteristics from that. The current production is a very nice rim at a reasonable weight, and the pricing doesn't hurt it either. We've now got a full range of options for them on the site.
The Rail 25 (as I write this Mike is fixing some of my ham-fisted site management) is also a new option. Except for depth, dimensions are the same as for Rail 55. These build into quite light wheels which are fun to ride. Subject to the usual caveats about rim brakes and carbon, these are every day wheels for the vast majority of people. The pricing, as with the Rail 55, overlaps with the higher end of alloy. Tons of people like light wheels, tons of people like to never ever think about what the wind is going to do to their steering, and tons of people like the look of shallower wheels. Think of these as sort of a high tech Belgium+.
While we're baffled that people don't see more opportunity in rim brake rims, it is what it is. The producers who continue to make good products for them are going to win our support, and they will hopefully do well by doing good.
In other news, have you all noticed how many people are out riding? It's just amazing, and great to see.
Today's title brought to you by one of my two favorite Beck records (the other being Guero), but Sea Change has Lost Cause on it, and if you've never heard Lost Cause, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Give it a whirl.
Perhaps you meant to reference the original Belgium C2 (regarding the new Rail 25). 21mm internal width is certainly dramatically different than 18.

Whitney Biennial 2004 - Daddies Bighead and MJBH
Paul McCarthy: Whitney Biennial 2004 - Daddies Bighead and MJBH
Lasker Rink & Pool
Doris C Freedman Plaza
Public Art Fund, in collaboration with the Whitney Museum, presents installations by Paul McCarthy, Liz Craft, Olav Westphalen, David Altmejd, assume vivid astro focus, David Muller and Yayoi Kusama for the 2004 Biennial Exhibition. Building upon the outdoor presentation of Biennial works in 2002, this show includes artists' site-specific reactions to Central Park as well as several sculptural projects that were conceived independently of location. For the first time, the exhibition includes a weekend event of openings and participatory artists' projects in the park.
Daddies Bighead by Paul McCarthy (b.1945, Salt Lake City, UT), sited at Lasker Rink in the northern end of the park, is a fifty-foot-tall pink inflatable sculpture. Sitting atop a slender, very vertical body, the oversized head is visible from 110th Street and elsewhere within the park. Daddies Bighead is the sculptural result of an ongoing series of mixed-media works that date back to 1983, when McCarthy incorporated an actual bottle of the British condiment Daddies Ketchup into a performance. The bottle, which bears the face of a man that McCarthy has called "the quintessential 1950s dad," resurfaced in McCarthy's work in 2001 as a multi-story inflatable sculpture. Since then, McCarthy has reworked and abstracted the form, ultimately creating this new inflatable, which bears only the slightest resemblance to its predecessors. Daddies Bighead was first exhibited outside the Tate Modern in London in 2003.
Over the past three decades, McCarthy has plumbed conceptual art, popular culture, and the human psyche to create a highly personalized and provocative body of work. MJBH is one of a series of recent works McCarthy has made based on artist Jeff Koons's famous sculpture, Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988), which was itself a representation of a publicity photograph of the superstar. Dispensing with the rococo delicacy of Koons's oversized ceramic figurine, McCarthy's sculpture is an abstracted representation of Michael Jackson sitting with his pet monkey. Its title, an abbreviation of "Michael Jackson Big Head," describes both the subject and McCarthy's characteristic figurative exaggeration. With cartoonish feet, large heads with inscrutable features, and relatively small bodies, the two figures merge into one tangled multi-limbed form. Made in 2002, just before the recent avalanche of press coverage on the legendary pop star, McCarthy's sculpture considers the nature of celebrity, re-imagining the familiar image of Jackson and his sidekick in monumental, grotesquely unfamiliar form.

Producer Jack Douglas, engineer Warren Huart on Aerosmith's next album
By Joe Bosso 2012-02-12T20:10:00.42Z
Joe Perry lays down a guitar track at Swing House Studios while producer Jack Douglas (center) and engineer Warren Huart (right) look on.
When Aerosmith release a new album this year - their first since 2004's Honkin' On Bobo, and their first collection of fresh material since 2001's Just Push Play - longtime fans are hoping that it will mark a return to the mean, raunchy, riff-oriented, blues-rock sound the group mined on the '70s classics Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic and Rocks.
In that regard, producer Jack Douglas says the upcoming record won't disappoint. He's in a uniquely qualified position to make such a claim: not only is he helming the new set, but he also manned the board for most of the group's best-loved discs. "We're going back to the rawness," says Douglas. "There's something special about the vintage Aerosmith vibe, and that's what we have here."
For Douglas, capturing the group's untamed spirit on tape means just that - using tape. To that end, the veteran producer, whose resume also includes work with John Lennon, Cheap Trick and Patti Smith, is utilizing CLASP (Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor), a unit which allows him to integrate real two-inch tape technology into a DAW signal and workflow.
Joining Douglas behind the glass is fellow tape and CLASP enthusiast, Warren Huart. Huart serves as engineer on the Aerosmith project, but in recent years he's produced The Fray, James Blunt, Howie Day and Augustana, among others. What's more, he's also the proud owner of Swing House Studios in Hollywood, where the Aerosmith team have called home for the past few months as they lay down vocals and overdubs on one of 2012's most-anticipated releases.
MusicRadar caught up with Douglas and Huart recently to talk about the sonic wonders of CLASP, their approach to working with Aerosmith, the band's indefatigable energy and how the director of Desperado and Spy Kids somehow fits into the picture.
How did you two start working together?
Jack Douglas: "I was working at Swing House on other projects, a few film things, and I did a Michael Monroe record there. I really liked Swing House, and it kind of became my place to park myself on the West Coast. The rooms are comfortable, the equipment is great - I keep a lot of my gear there, actually.
Warren Huart: "Probably 50 percent of the equipment at Swing House is my gear and 50 percent is Jack's. We share a lot of tube equipment. Jack's Pulse Technologies stuff is fantastic - they're replicas of Pultecs."
Douglas: "Warren and I would trade rooms on and off for about two years, and we became friendly. I knew he was knowledgeable and extremely capable. Plus, he's a guitarist, which is good - knowing guitars is very important when it comes to working with a band like Aerosmith. When the new project came up, I gave him a call.
"The person I usually work with on Aerosmith, Jay Messina, he has boundaries - he won't go crazy with his hours. With Aerosmith, you have to be ready to work when they're ready, and on a long-term basis. You can't do five days a week, eight hours a day with these guys. The other night, we were working till one in the morning - that's just what it takes. Warren was up for that, so I brought him out to Boston. The boys liked him, and that was that."
Douglas and Huart flank CLASP inventor Chris Estes.
So Warren, what's it like working with Jack?
Huart: "It's great. What can I say? You know, I produce 90 percent of the stuff I work on. Even when I engineer something for a major label - whether it's Howie Day or James Blunt or whomever - a lot of the time I'm the co-producer, and I even play on the stuff, too.
"In this role, as an engineer, you have to be with somebody you can respect. Jack's worked with Aerosmith and John Lennon and incredible artists. But Jack is in the handful of guys, he's like a Phil Ramone or a George Martin. He has a real vision, but he's able to make everybody feel comfortable, which allows people to do their best. And that lets me be creative, too. You don't have to be afraid to bring up an idea."
How did you guys first become aware of CLASP?
Huart: "I got in very early in the development stage. I had an assistant who knew Chris Estes, who invented it, and when I first heard about it, I knew it could be phenomenal. I grew up with tape, I loved working with tape. Who doesn't? You can do so much with it. So, to me, CLASP offered the best of both worlds. You can use and abuse tape on the way in, and then you can have it instantly in a digital stage to edit it."
Douglas: "I think it was my son, Blake Douglas, that first turned me onto it. He owns some studios in LA. He has Record One, which used to be Ocean Way; he has Stage & Sound; and he has a room on a yearly lease at EastWest. He's in the hip-hop business. But he's an equipment dealer, too, and he was the one to tell me about CLASP.
"The whole idea of CLASP got me really buzzed. I went out and bought a beautiful old A80, anticipating that I was going to buy a CLASP unit. I met with Chris Estes, and we talked about the technology. I thought, This could really work for Aerosmith; this will sound pretty good.
"We got a couple of units on loan for the band's studio, Pandora's Box, and they fell in love with them, so they purchased the CLASPs. Then Joe bought one for his A80 for his room, the Boneyard. Everybody embraced the whole philosophy of CLASP."
Huart: "I was very excited to make the Aerosmith record my first CLASP project. The other way to do it would be to record everything to tape and then put it to Pro Tools. Working with CLASP seemed like a far better way to go."
What are the advantages of CLASP?
Douglas: "Well, you can keep the warmth of the tape, which, to me, is the big, big plus. There are no advantages to working all-digital. I moved over to digital in 1979. I was curious, so I started using the first 3M machines. Then I went to Mitsubishis and Sonys, but I would go back to tape. I always preferred tape. And I love mixing to tape - the sound is better.
"I do like the convenience of Pro Tools, however. CLASP is the real answer, one which allows me to work with the sound of tape and have the convenience of digital. To record Aerosmith, CLASP has been great. The band totally loves it."
Huart: "The band cut their teeth on tape. The sound of those records, the ones everybody knows and loves, comes from tape. Plus, they have the know-how and the experience… They know the difference sonically. They know what translates for their music. I don't think, with this record, to do it all-digital, would have been a great way to go."
Douglas gets hands on in the studio, adjusting mics on Joey Kramer's drums.
Aside from using CLASP, what kinds of discussions went down as far as the sound for album?
Douglas: "We're going back to the rawness. There's something special about the vintage Aerosmith vibe, and that's what we have here. It's got that '70s feel and sense of humor. It's a bit of a concept album - there's a theme running through it, but I can't really talk about that right now. But to get that edge and spirit, it made sense to capture tracks live with the band playing all out.
"The way Pandora's Box is set up, we can get that. It's a gorgeous room that was designed by John Storyk, and the board was designed by Jay Messina and myself. It's 24 tracks of Neve broadcast modules, eight tracks of API, eight tracks of old Focusrite, and then PAD built a custom eight-buss for us. So they all speak to one another. It's just like having one board - we call it 'Frankenstein.' I had a lot of my gear and my mics sent over to the place.
"Pandora's Box really allowed me to record the band like I did in the '70s. We'd sit in the production office and start with the germ of a song - just acoustic guitars and some basic ideas - and then we'd take that and go into a rehearsal room. In that room, we have small amps and keyboards, and we'll record everything we do there into my laptop. After that, once it's right, we'll take it into the big room and record it. If we need to make changes, we'll make them later.
"We recorded everything at Pandora's Box except for two songs, which we did at Swing House. One song was something we decided we could do a little better, and the other one was brand new - that's the one that Sony likes and is convinced is a big hit single."
But you are doing some overdubs at Swing House.
Douglas: "Well, yeah, we're doing a lot of the guitars, the leads. When Steven gets done with American Idol and comes in to do vocals, we're figure out what has to go around them."
Throughout the process, have there been any demos at all?
Douglas: "Yeah, sure. Very often, if a song didn't begin with a germ of an idea in the studio, it was from a demo. But again, we'd sit and listen to that and get a lot of the band's input, and then we'd knock out some changes. I think it's fun to track right away because everything is fresh. For me, the demo stage is when we're in that rehearsal room. We'll spend days in there listening to what we have."
And when the band tracks, it's off-the-floor live performances?
Huart: "A large portion is just that: off-the-floor takes. It's the band playing together. That's the beauty of this band - they can play. Joey Kramer hits those drums. He's an animal."
Douglas: "Right. Steven's in the middle with a vocal mic - he knows where the verses and choruses are. It's live."
Jack, what do you think the band looks to you for? Do you give them "brutal truth"?
Douglas: "It's brutal truth, sure, but we're like brothers, really. There's never any pretense. I'm willing to listen to any idea the band has. It's very communal. We always support each other. Even when I wasn't producing their records, whether it was during the '90s, there was a lot of hanging out. We know what each other can do. There's no bullshit."
Douglas is Shure of his choice of headphones.
Has the band worked with any outside songwriters?
Douglas: "Marti Frederiksen. Marti's contributed some. On the lyrical side, I wanted Steven to really have somebody to bounce his lyrics off of, so I said to Sony that we should bring in Stephen King."
Stephen King, the novelist?
Douglas: "That's right. They thought I was crazy, but I thought he'd be into it. Here's who I had on my list: Stephen King; Robert Rodriguez, the director; and Tim Burton. They thought I was nuts, but I said, 'Let's try.' As it turned out, Stephen King said, 'I wish you had contacted me a month earlier - I'm writing with John Mellencamp!' [laughs] How funny is that? People thought I lost my mind, and there he is, working with Mellencamp."
These are amazing ideas!
Douglas: "I think you have to be creative. So what's happened was, Robert Rodriguez has come in, and he and Steven have gotten together. Robert's got great ideas - he's a brilliant director, but he's a musician, too. We're waiting to hear from Tim Burton, but in the meantime, we're doing fine."
What new pieces of gear do Joe Perry and the rest of the band have?
Douglas: "The thing with Aerosmith is, you don't find a lot of new pieces, but you find some incredible old pieces. Joe has a connection to these amazing RCA and Bogen PA amps, and they're being converted to 30-watt guitar amps, so we've been using a lot of them. We've been using my Producer Model Morris amp - they're a boutique company out of St. Catherine's, Ontario.
"The only new thing that I think is new is an Epiphone Casino, which has been reissued. Brad fell in love with that - it's got a great, woody tone. The band collects a lot of incredible pieces that sound wonderful. They're a part of history, but we do use them."
Huart: "You go into Joe Perry's place, and it's like a wish-list of stuff. You stand there and say, 'I wish we could use a…' and there it is. 'Oh, I'd like to try a preamp like…' and he's got it. His console is full of 1073s. He's got a tape machine. You name it, it's there. I've gone into professional studios, and they can't match what Joe Perry has.
"But he's still into trying out new pedals and things. The whole band is. They have a thirst for sound, a quest for tone, that you wouldn't believe."
Jack, you've worked with the band for so long, but what impresses you about them these days?
"First, you have to consider that these guys are all over 50 years old and still have the ability to just rock really hard. There's so much edge going on, and they still have the vitality they had when we started 40 years ago.
"Also, Steven has an incredible ear. He and I share an interest in classical music and American standards and jazz. We'll talk about music and Gershwin will come up - we're not afraid to talk in those terms. So that's great that we have that catalogue thing going on. Plus, Brad is such a fan of blues, and the whole band loves '60s British rock. There's deep musical roots to these guys."
And Warren, what impresses you about Aerosmith?
Huart: "That they play like a band in their 20s. We're not putting a lot of things together, at least not what you'd think. Most of these tracks have been flat-out, off-the-floor performances. Their enthusiasm and commitment is not what you'd expect for a band over the age of 25. They feel the same way about playing music as they did when they were making their first album.
"Take Joe Perry: He 's in here, on time if not early, to do overdubs. Steven's in here at all hours working on vocals. He does American Idol and then he comes in here. We're talking about amazing talents, and they work hard. What they do is beyond human, but it comes from work and commitment."


We are so lucky to have wonderful drink sponsors for our Spaytacular event- Tito's Vodka and Capital City are providing vodka and beer, respectively. However, we don't have a wine sponsor! Our guests love their wine and the more wine they have, the more money they donate to animals ;) It's a win-win!
The total cost for wine for our event is $200. Your donation will help offset that cost, ensuring more money goes directly to spay/neuter. Thank you for your support!!

The Atlantic: The Democrats' Gamble on Health Care for the Undocumented


In May of last year, I was slowly coming down out of a caffeine-induced psychotic break of sorts, desperately trying to regain my grip on reality, all the while dealing with some pretty heavy family and business stuff, weaning myself off bean-based brewed stimulants, and catching precious moments of shut-eye whenever the opportunity presented itself. Sometime during that java-driven haze, I became vaguely aware of this coffee syrup's existence. Neither my body nor my mind could have handled such a product at that juncture, so we steered clear of it last spring.
By the end of the summer, according to multiple online reports, this product had been discontinued. Part of me was relieved, as the pressure to review such a dangerous substance had been lifted. I didn't want to fall off the wagon so soon and return to my caffeinated coma for many more months. But another part of me pined for the opportunity to taste a product that by many accounts was not only one of the best offerings of Trader Joe's 2017 coffee craziness, but perhaps one of their greatest coffee products of all time.
Well, friends, Trader Joe's Coffee Syrup is BACK, and IT. IS. HEAVENLY. It was prominently displayed on the "new products" shelf at the Wilmington, Delaware store. Nothing but cane sugar, water, and coffee. And that's all it needs.
Yeah, sure, there are other coffee syrups out there...and likely one of them is Trader Joe's third party supplier, though I couldn't tell you which one. And I certainly can't vouch for those other brands, but I can tell you that this stuff is divine.
It pours like a maple or agave syrup, though just slightly thinner. The thinness makes for easy mixing with milk, coffee, or your beverage of choice. It's still thick enough to make an excellent ice cream topping though, and the flavor blends seamlessly with vanilla. I tried a spoonful straight. It's got a strong coffee flavor just by itself, but it's also very sweet. I imagine it's not unlike a spoonful of Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate with equal parts liquid cane sugar mixed in. And yes, if one were so inclined, he could drink this stuff straight out of the bottle, though few would find the intensity pleasant after a sip or two.
I'm not even really a "coffee guy," as I've stated many times on this blog, but I must say this is quite possibly the best-tasting coffee item I've ever sampled in my life. My mochaphile wife was even more impressed. She's not only in love with java, but she appreciates many coffee-flavored treats and desserts as well. Up to this point, her favorite coffee-flavored dessert has been Haagen Dazs coffee ice cream—and she's in awe of this product's ability to approximate the flavor and quality of the Haagen Dazs offering when combined with vanilla ice cream. In this case, we used Humboldt Organic Vanilla, readily available at TJ's in our area.
Sonia and I haven't added anything to the Pantheon in nearly a year and a half, so it's high time we bestow that honor once again. Five stars from Sonia. Four and a half from me.
Thank goodness it's not discontinued! I've had a bottle of this stashed in a dark corner of our pantry because I feared I'd never get any more.
Besides drizzling it on ice cream, we use it to make coffee milk, and I even tried using it to make coffee soda with my Sodastream. That was not terribly successful, though.
Coffee soda sounds so promising...maybe if you added some directly to seltzer water or tonic?
I also have one of these stashed away from last year. I bought one every time I went there until they were gone and I was down to one. So glad it's back. Great for coffee milk, coffee float with cola or seltzer and ice cream. Love it!
Coffee float with cola, eh? I'll check it out!
When this was out before I used some of it to make dark chocolate coffee brownies. I used a box of Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mix & added some of the coffee syrup to it. I was trying to mimic Trader Joe's Sumatra chocolate brownies. They turned out really well.

Wanna go to an art fair?
Here's my March article in the Old Town Crier...
Wanna stay outside no matter what? Our area has some of the best outdoor art shows in the nation, and while nearly all of them were cancelled in 2020, they are all planning a comeback in 2021 – it is probably the best response to a Covidian model that demands being outside to see and buy art and for those who may still be afraid to step foot inside a space.
Our City, Ourselves: Women Photograph Washington
The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities now has an exhibition on view in their virtual gallery space, Our City, Ourselves: Women Photograph Washington.
I highly encourage you to spend some time in the exhibition; it celebrates not only the talented and perceptive women photographers working in the District over the past 40 years, but also the history and evolution of the city itself.
You can see the exhibition webpage here: http://bit.ly/CAHOurCityOurselves or you can go directly to the virtual gallery here: http://bit.ly/OurCityOurselves.

My gift to the "woke" crowd: the racist Che Guevara
Dear members of the "woke" police...
If you wear, or have ever worn a Che Guevara T-Shirt (unless it is like the one on the left) then you are wearing or have worn the image of a man whose racist writing and actions and beliefs are full of negative, racist remarks about Mexicans and Blacks, and Native Americans.
This man was a killing psychopath whose image has been re-invented over the decades so that in the past he's been viewed by a large, ignorant segment of the planet's population as some sort of positive icon - he was not.
By the way, "Comemierda" is an almost unique Cuban insult...
Wanna read some of the things this comemierda has written or said?
"The black is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized, and intelligent."
-- Che Guevara
"The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations." -- Che Guevara
"Mexicans are a band of illiterate Indians" -- Che Guevara
In an interview given to the London Daily Worker in 1962, Che Guevara said that "if the nuclear missiles had remained we would have used them against the very heart of America, including New York City... we will march the path of victory, even if it costs millions of atomic victims... we keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm."
And this line after the Cuban Revolution in 1959: "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."
"I don't need proof to execute a man," said Che during an interview published in a Cuban newspaper in 1959, "I only need proof that it is necessary to execute him."
Che Guevara (like Fidel Castro) was sadistically anti-gay. He referred to gay people as "sexual perverts" and also helped to establish the first Cuban concentration camp in Guanahacabibes in 1960 - a camp for gay men. This brutal camp was the first of many that the Communists established in Cuba - with forced hard labor, and the first which focused on gay men. From the Nazis, Guevara also adapted the motto from Auschwitz, "Work sets you free," changing it in Guanahacabibes to "Work will make you men."
Inform yourself - then hunt anyone and everyone who has ever worn a Che Guevara T-shirt or had a Che Guevara poster in their college room and out them and cancel them!
You want the image of a real Cuban hero for your T-Shirt? How about Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet?

Things that are not OK - and I'm going to start calling them out
One of the most common ingredients of the artworld, and sometimes a formidable tool for emerging artists to build a resume (if you want to know what it is sooooooo important that you develop a valid and sustainable artistical resume, then you need to take my next "Bootcamp for Artists" seminar) is to respond to call for artists, art competitions, etc.
There's always a set of deadlines.
A deadline for entries to be in - the most important deadline for the artist.
A deadline for the hosting entity to respond with notifications of acceptance or rejection.
A deadline for delivery of accepted artworks
A deadline for pick up of exhibited/unsold artwork at the end of competition (if local delivered)
Three of the four key deadlines fall on the artists - and generally speaking, if you miss any of the first two (entry deadline and delivery deadline), then you are OUT!
If you miss the last deadline, there's often a daily "storage charge" until the artwork is picked-up.
One thing that I have been noticing more and more lately, is that hosting venues are often - anecdotal data seems to indicate most of the time - Missing THEIR deadline to notify artists and respond with notifications of acceptance or rejection.
This is not only unprofessional, but puts an extra burden on the shoulders of the artists, who may only have a tight window for decision-making related to the submitted artwork.
What is up with that? Why are we allowing the hosting venues to simply (often without a reason) go silent as deadlines pass and then ad hoc notify artists?
I have been on the jurying end of this process dozens if not hundreds of times, and thus as the poet Marti wrote: "I know the monster well, for I have lived in its entrails."

New Corcoran Director
Here's the announcement:
Corcoran community,
I'm very pleased to announce that the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at the George Washington University has named Lauren Onkey as its next director. Lauren most recently served as the Senior Director at NPR Music, where she led a team of journalists, critics, video, and podcast makers and provided the editorial vision in creating innovative cross-platform music journalism. She will begin her director role at Corcoran on July 12.
The goal of the Corcoran's search committee was to find a strategic leader with the vision and experience to guide Corcoran into the future. Lauren's lifelong commitment to the arts as an educator, music scholar, museum professional, presenter and producer makes her the right leader for our school.
Throughout her career, Lauren has dedicated herself to the arts, cultural studies, education and civic engagement, and she believes that innovation and diversity are the key to growing our vibrant, creative community of cultural leaders. With over two decades of experience ranging from directing NPR Music's team to developing and managing a museum's award-winning education and community programs as the Vice President of Education and Public Programming at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Lauren is poised to lead Corcoran's future growth. She will help increase our school's impact and visibility and foster student success.
During her tenure at NPR, Lauren worked with NPR's newsroom and robust member station network to expand the impact of NPR Music and continue positioning public radio as an essential force in music. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum from 2008-2015, Lauren led divisions such as Education, Library and Archives, Community Programs, and Visitor Services to provide programs, classes, and visitor experiences that engaged a broad audience in the history and significance of rock and roll music.
At the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Humanities Center at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio, which provides civically-engaged humanities education to a large and diverse population of community college students, Lauren led the creation of curriculum and programming and developed strong community partnerships that provided students with opportunities for experiential learning. Lauren also spent fourteen years teaching at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, specializing in popular music studies and postcolonial literature. Over the course of her career, she has published many articles in literary studies, popular music studies, women's studies and pedagogy.
I know Lauren is excited to meet our DC community members at the Corcoran. We will share additional details in the weeks to come about her arrival. In the meantime, please join me in welcoming Lauren and her husband to our community!

Saatchi Art's The Other Art Fair
The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, today announced its 2021 exhibition plans. The 2021 schedule includes plans to re-introduce in-real-life events once it is safe to do so, as well as the launch of corresponding six-day Virtual Reality (VR) editions.
DMV artist Anne Cherubim is participating and so we have an insider in the fair! She notes:
Among the various interactive activities for this virtual experience, there are curator led tours, a painting class, short films, a talk on art collecting by Saatchi's Rebecca Wilson, a sound installation I'm looking forward to, you can have your portrait drawn -- just a heap of fun things to do virtually.
One of my limited edition Recycled Art Project pieces is part of the Director's Picks:

One of my smaller paintings is highlighted in the $500, or thereabouts, section.
I'd be remiss not to tell you to come check it out. I'm in Room 2, apparently diagonally across from Brandon Boyd of the band, Incubus. Today was the first day of the fair, and it continues 'til Sunday, April 4th.
There are videos telling you about each artist at the front of each booth, along with a guestbook you can sign, and a way to schedule video appointments to chat with us, for those wanting to share comments, or who have questions about work.
See my video here: https://youtu.be/uxOzze_MxHU
Visit the fair here. The Fair Program will point people to all the different activities.
An open letter to DMV area universities
There are several important, major universities in and around the DMV area. In most cases each is working, as most universities do, their own, individualized visual arts exhibition program, which is normally mix of exhibitions by their students, faculty, and sometimes invited artists.
Almost without exception there is very little coordination between the different university/college venues, which in some cases boast some of the nicest exhibition spaces in the area - none better that American University's spectacular Katzen Arts Museum.
This "little coordination" is not unusual, as I imagine that in most cities this is also the same case, as the focus of the university gallery is in fact the university itselg.
And here is where we can make a major change, and use the extraordinary resources afforded to our area by these venues, and their academic standing, to help Washington expand its worldwide visual art standing.
What we need to happen is for one of the local university art school chairs, or college deans, or even university gallery directors, to take the initiative to start coordinating a joint effort to create one annual combined, joint exhibition that synchronizes a focused exhibition that is spread throughout the Greater Washington area.
Imagine a national survey of art, with a good title and perhaps even a good, donated chunk of money as a prize. Say we call it "The Capital Art Prize" (OK, OK we'll have to work on the title) and because good ideas sometimes attract funding, maybe we can convince a major local company like Lockheed Martin or Marriott or Booze Allen and Hamilton, or (be still my beating heart), The Washington Post (owned by the planet's richest Cuban-American), to help fund it on an annual basis.
This synchronized event can be modeled somewhat on what the Whitney does, but better. The Whitney Biennial's Achilles heel is its over-reliance on hired curators. Unless an artist lives and works in NYC, LA or SF or is already in the local radar of one of the curators for that particular year, chances are slim to none that the artist will come to the attention of those Biennial curators. Hence great art and potentially great artists may and often are ignored.
And the Whitney Biennial is not what it used to be... not even close.
In addition to the use of invited curators, also imagine that this event puts forth a national call for artists, independent and museum curators, schools, art organizations, and galleries to submit works for consideration - all to be done online, of course, and without an entry fee.
Anyone can submit and in a fair selection process, since art is truly in the eyes (and agenda) of the beholder, anyone can be selected to exhibit. A truly American concept for a national American art survey that will leave the Whitney and other continental Biennials in the dust.
And because the exhibition venues are spread around the capital area region, in galleries at Georgetown, George Mason, George Washington, American, Catholic, Howard, University of Maryland, Montgomery Community College, Northern Virginia Community College, and the many others I am sure to be forgetting momentarily, we could put up one of the largest, most diverse, and influential American contemporary art surveys in the nation.
This will take a lot of work to set up initially, as one key university person needs to take the lead and emerge from the pack of largely unknown, anonymous group of academics currently running our area's university art programs. On the other hand, this could be an exhibition that can and will put names and faces on the international art world map, much like the Whitney Biennial sometimes elevates its curators a notch above the rest
Some universities will resist, as the easiest thing to do is to do things as they have always been done, and not really create "new" work. But given that a strong leader among our academic community emerges and takes the lead for this idea, then even if we start with a set of four or five venues, in a joint, coordinated effort, others will follow. When it all else fails to get an university or college to play along, then they must be hit via the Board of Trustees of that University.
Boom! A trustee drives the idea and the university will suddenly pay attention!
This will not be an easy job to do, and as it grows, so will the bureaucracy around it. But starting it up will be the hardest part, and as momentum grows, things will become easier. Whoever, if anyone, takes this idea and runs with it, will face many huge obstacles and many negative people. He or she will need to convince other university/college gallery directors to participate (unless a Trustee is involved). They in turn, will have to convince their superiors, who will, in turn have to approve (and perhaps help kick-start the funding) the joint project.
This leader will also have to coordinate the approach to get a local giant to fund this effort, but I suspect that once he has aligned a few colleges and universities, this may become easier (it's never easy) as the "buzz" and need for the event develops.
This is all a lot of work, and initially, until a bureaucracy is established around the annual event, many, many volunteers will be needed. I hope that some of these can be drawn from the school's student body, alumni who are artists, and other local artists, much like Art-O-Matic draws from the collective muscle of our area's significant artist population.
Our area universities and colleges already have significant media resources at their disposal, to help spread the word. They run school newspapers, radio stations, etc. and also provide a constant flow of new blood to our major mainstream media.
The goal (or perhaps "the dream") would be a national level survey of art, which may look, review and/or jury the work of maybe 50,000 artists around the nation, and select perhaps 100 each year, showcase their work around a dozen academic galleries, and award a $100,000 cash award as the Capital Art Prize, plus various other awards (Emerging Artist, Young Artist, etc.). Art of a nature and scale that will attract visitors to the university galleries, attention to our area, piss some people off, excite others, create interest, discussion and buzz around Washington and our art scene.
I initially proposed this idea locally about two decades ago - and everyone ignored it.
In a weird way that the the Covidian Monster could have never predicted, the potential end of the Covidian Age may be in fact offering us the time for this idea to spring.
There's nothing more empowering than an idea whose time has come.


I've noticed this bug has been happening for over a month by now.
Whenever I type on the address bar there's no drop-down suggestions like before, the only way I found to circumvent this is to enable Auto-Complete, but it's a feature that I dislike and kept disable up until now. Is there another temporary fix to this I'm unaware of? If not, when is this annoying bug getting fixed?
@cassettetape What default search engine do you use?
@ayespy I've been using Google.
@ayespy That was it! It was blank for some reason, I never messed with it before, to be honest I didn't even know that option existed, but somehow it was blank. Weird.
@cassettetape It's not a bug. It must be blank for the google by default. Vivaldi don't have license for suggestions of google.

Lojka Hugó (Galícia, Gelsendorf, 1844. január 6. – Budapest, 1887. szeptember 7.) - zuzmókutató (lichenológus), tanár.

Életrajza
Morva származású apja Pozsonyban tanult, mint fiatal lelkész is mindig benső ragaszkodással viseltetett hazánk iránt és ezt gyermekeire is átvitte. Lojka Hugó Lembergben kezdte gimnáziumi tanulmányait, melyeket Eperjesen 1858–tól 1862-ig fejezett be. Itt kedvelte meg tanárától, Hazslinszky Frigyestől a botanikát. Azután Bécsbe ment, hogy az ottani egyetemen az orvosi pályára készüljön; hét évig maradt ott, orvostani, de leginkább botanikai tanulmányoknak szentelve idejét. Innét Pestre ment és itt hosszabb és alapos előkészület után a vegytanból és a számtanból letette a tanári vizsgálatot. Eleinte a pest-józsefvárosi reáliskolában működött, később a belvárosi polgári leányiskolában és végül a budapesti állami felsőbb leányiskolának lett tanára. Utolsó nagy utazása alkalmával, melyet a Kaukázusban tett, túlerőltette és meghűtötte magát. Már az 1886–87. tanév végén a zárvizsgálatok előtt kénytelen volt a tanítással felhagyni. A nyár beálltával Erdélyben keresett üdülést, de nemsokára baja oly komoly fordulatot vett, hogy a fővárosba kellett visszatérnie, ahol 1887. szeptember 7-én meghalt.

Munkássága
Magyarország zuzmóiból nagy anyagot gyűjtött, de járt gyűjtőúton Alsó-Ausztriában, Galíciában, Boszniában és Déchy Mórral a Kaukázusban is. Munkái és exsiccatái (szárított növények) nemzetközileg elismert lichenológussá (zuzmókutatóvá) tették.

Főbb munkái
 Adatok Magyarország zuzmóflórájához (Mathem.atikai Természettudományi Közl. XI., 1873, XII., 1874, XXI., 1886)
 Lichenes regni Hungarici (Szárított zuzmó gyűjteményei, Fasc. I – IV., 1882)
 Lichenoteca universalis continens Lichenes exsiccatos totius orbis (Fasc. I – V., 1885 – 86

Bus transportation from Downtown Los Angeles is available.
Former state assemblymember and long-time community activist Warren Furutani will be a featured speaker at the 48th annual Manzanar Pilgrimage, sponsored by the Manzanar Committee, on Saturday, April 29, at the Manzanar National Historic Site, located on U.S. Highway 395 in California's Owens Valley, between the towns of Lone Pine and Independence, approximately 230 miles north of Los Angeles.
Each year, over 1,000 people from diverse backgrounds, including students, teachers, community members, clergy and former incarcerees, attend the pilgrimage, which commemorates the unjust incarceration of over 110,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry in ten American concentration camps, and other confinement sites, located in the most desolate, isolated regions of the U.S. during World War II. Manzanar was the first of the American concentration camps to be established.
Cultural performances will begin at 11:30 a.m., with the main portion of the program starting at noon.
Furutani, 69, was already a grassroots community activist and civil rights advocate when he became one of about 150 people who made the first organized Pilgrimage to Manzanar on Dec. 27, 1969. Since then, he has dedicated his life to equal opportunity and social justice, focusing his efforts in the areas of education and public service.
In 2007, Furutani was elected to the State Assembly, representing the 55th District. He served as chair of the Assembly Public Employees Retirement System and Social Security Committee, and as chair of the Select Committee on Career Technical Education and Workforce Development.
Furutani, who was born in San Pedro and raised in nearby Gardena, authored Assembly Bill 37, which granted honorary college degrees to Japanese Americans whose education was disrupted due to their incarceration during World War II. Thousands of Nisei have received honorary degrees from college campuses throughout California as a result.
In addition to the afternoon event, the Manzanar At Dusk program follows that same evening, from 5 to 8 p.m., at Lone Pine High School, located at 538 S. Main St. in Lone Pine, nine miles south of the Manzanar National Historic Site, across the street from McDonald's.
Manzanar At Dusk is co-sponsored by the Nikkei Student Unions at CSU Long Beach, California State Polytechnic University Pomona, UCLA, and UC San Diego.
The Manzanar Committee has also announced that bus transportation to the Pilgrimage from Little Tokyo is available.
The bus will depart at 7 a.m., arriving at the pilgrimage at approximately 11:30 a.m., and will also take participants to the Visitor's Center at the Manzanar National Historic Site following the afternoon program. The bus should arrive back in Los Angeles at approximately 8:30 p.m.
Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The non-refundable fare is $40 per seat, $20 for students and seniors (65 or older). Complimentary fares are available for those who were incarcerated at any of the former American concentration camps or other wartime confinement sites.
Pilgrimage participants are advised to bring their own lunch, drinks and snacks, as there are no facilities to purchase food at the Manzanar National Historic Site (restaurants and fast food outlets are located in Lone Pine and Independence). Water will be provided at the site.
