Eugene Onegin. Runs March 2 – March 10. The Atlanta Opera @ Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. What if..? Everyone has regrets, or those "what if" moments.

Tchaikovsky explores this theme of love lost, found, and the one that got away in the lush, romantic, and beautifully Russian opera Eugene Onegin. This new production takes its cues from the poet Robert Frost and the musical language of Pushkin's novel, telling the story of a brash young man who makes bold statements and bolder mistakes, only to find that perhaps happiness was in front of him the whole time.

Skelton Crew. Through March 10. Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company @ Fulton County Southwest Arts Center. Written by Dominique Morisseau, a MacArthur Fellow, Skeleton Crew is part of The Detroit Project trilogy. This three-play series examines the sociopolitical history of Detroit at its cross-sections of race and policing, of labor and recession, of property ownership and gentrification. The Skeleton Crew explores the significance of work to workers and the threatening impact of layoffs. Set in 2008's Great Recession, The Skeleton Crew follows factory workers at the last auto stamping plant in Detroit as rumors of their plant's imminent closing begin to trigger anxiety and instability. The group, a strongly connected work family, must balance prioritizing their own well-being and need to survive with their sense of loyalty to each other.

The winner of the 2019 Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, Tindal's show portrays Tyler's friends and family reeling after their loved one's death at the hands of a police officer. The show illuminates the characters' different perceptions of the incident, and the complexity surrounding their varied reactions to the devastating news. Tyler tries desperately to control the narrative surrounding his death, haunting his friends in an attempt to express his desired legacy. While the show is often humorous, its overarching questions aren't necessarily light – How will Tyler be remembered? And who will shape his legacy? Tickets and info on the Alliance Theatre website.

Through the generosity of the Ardovino family, the Oratory at the Priory was renovated and a Memorial Chapel was established in the memory of Anthony and Mildred Ardovino.
Under the joint chaplaincy of Old-Catholic and Anglican clergy, the Oratory celebrates the Holy Eucharist, administers the Sacraments (Mysteries) and provides spiritual care for the Priory and the members of the Order and the Confraternity.
Since the Old Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion agree that Baptism is the primary sacrament whereby one becomes a Christian and thus a member of the Church, the Body of Christ, all baptized Christians are welcome to receive the Sacraments.

While My Heart Beats by Erin McKenzie: Book Review
23/07/2020 06/08/2020 Maria Comet ; Caitlin Ryan	Bold Strokes Books, Erin McKenzie
Maria: While My Heart Beats by Erin McKenzie is a poignant historical romance set during World War I.
In 1915, World War I rages, but is far away from the privileged world of Ellie Winthrop. Her life consists of tea parties, chauffeur-driven errands and trying to resist her mother's demands that she marry. She sometimes defies her parents by attending suffragette meetings, but mostly she tries to be a respectable young lady. Yet what she truly seeks is meaning and the chance to make a difference in the world around her.
When two of her cousins die in combat, the reality of the war hits home. Days later she encounters a Red Cross station asking for volunteers to help the troops. For the first time in her life, she acts impulsively and boldly, joining the ranks of the Voluntary Aid Detachment. She knows it will mean leaving the safety of home, but it's also her chance to serve a greater cause.
Nurse Johanna Lennox is heart-weary. The endless barrage of wounded at General Hospital No. 7 has created a sense of detachment from those around her. Her only moments of peace come from stealing away to watch the sea.
When she is asked to train the new batch of volunteers, she sees it as an inconvenience. From experience, she knows that most VADS girls are pretentious and have never done a day's hard work in their lives. She maintains a strict demeanor from the start, expecting her orders to be obeyed and for the women to keep up.
Ellie's patience and compassion surprises her, luring her heart back from its isolation. Yet they come from two very different worlds and are in the middle of hell. Surely love could never thrive between them in such a place?
Caitlin: While My Heart Beats by Erin McKenzie is a charming historical romance set amid the danger of a World War I general hospital in France.
Stubborn English socialite, Ellie Winthrop, has no intention of waiting around for the war to be over. Ignoring her mother's protests about what a proper lady does, Ellie joins a Volutary Aid Detachment (VAD) and is shipped off to France to confront of the horrors of war.
Johanna Lennox has little time for the VAD volunteers. War has taught her that the volunteers are mostly London socialites with little stomach for the horrific injuries she encounters on a daily basis. Johanna on the other hand is a trained nurse who processes her patients with efficiency and care.
When Johanna finds out she will be training the latest round of volunteers, she dreads her new assignment. Then she meets Ellie. Ellie defies all her expectations and meets her in every task. As their attraction grows, both question their places in a Britain that doesn't understand their love.
Maria: Ellie Winthrop is somewhat naïve and bright-eyed at the start of the story. Her compassion drives her, helping her to adapt quickly when others need her help. It leads to her joining Voluntary Aid Detachment and it rings through the entire book. Because she's had such a privileged upbringing, it would be easy for a reader to either dislike or feel disconnected from her. What prevents that from happening is that she is earnestly searching to make her mark in the world. She acknowledges her wealth and knows the expectations of her family. Yet she knows that ultimately the life she is living isn't truly meaningful. We have all had moments in our lives where we hope there is "more". That yearning is familiar and it helps the reader feel a connection to Ellie, even if we might not totally identify with the world she comes from.
There are famous people we roll our eyes at and those we think we could have a beer with, Ellie is in the latter category.
Johanna Lennox starts the story disconnected from her emotions. She is tough and no-nonsense. She projects strength and tries not to show that treating so many injured young men has fractured her spirit. She doesn't have a comfortable home or family waiting for her. Being a nurse is everything to her. Johanna grounds the reader in the story, offering a perspective that is grittier and more mature than Ellie's.
Caitlin: Ellie is the kind of go-getter that I love reading about. She knows what she wants and goes after it. Our first interaction with Ellie is her attending a suffragist tea party. This sets her up as a somewhat progressive voice from the get go. From there, her decision to join the VAD after her cousin's death during the war is hardly a surprise.
My favorite thing about Johanna is that she is Scottish. Give me a story set in the Scottish Highlands and I'll be there. McKenzie does a great job of adding enough Scottish syntax to the dialogue to remind me that Johanna is Scottish but not so much that I have to reread sentences to figure out what they mean which is a difficult balance to strike. Not only that, but she's also a nurse.
There is an immediate connection between these two that is only strengthened by the tense situation they find themselves in. Ellie is kind and friendly to Johanna from the start, but Johanna is a little more reserved.
The Writing Style
Maria: Historical novels can be creatures of ego — see, look at all the research I did, the author tells you by including heaps of details that don't add to the plot. Like: Leech collector was an actual job way back when. No, that's not something this book covers in any way. See, you didn't need to know that for this review but I told you anyway.
While My Heart Beats avoids this trap brilliantly, the vivid descriptions of the hospital and the wounded feel like they are doled out in exactly the right amount. There is enough to understand the day-to-day of Ellie and Johanna's world but it never feels bogged down.
Caitlin: It takes a little for McKenzie to reach the first meeting for these two as she spends just a bit longer than I thought was necessary showing us Ellie's life in London. I didn't mind this too much because they were well written and interesting scenes as the idea of Sapphic love is introduced to Ellie during these scenes, but it did mean Johanna was introduced a little later than you would usually see in a romance.
This is McKenzie's first historical romance, and it still has a little of that contemporary writing style mixed in, though I felt the character reactions and dialogue were really spot on. I don't read a lot of historical romance, but the blurb got my attention and told me I had to read it. If you're in a similar boat, this is a great starting point as it's such a short read.
Maria: I loved the contrast between Johanna and Ellie, both in their personalities and in their background. Even before falling in love, the more they discover about one another, the more they need each other. They fit like puzzle pieces.
I appreciated Ellie's conflict with her mother, how it progresses and how it resolves. Ellie's desire to claim a new independence is matched well with the changing world around her. Her mother trying to cling to the more comfortable pre-war ideals is also understandable. I didn't always like Ellie's mother, nor am I supposed to, but I can see her perspective.
Caitlin: After spending so much time studying World War I at school, I lost interest in it which is unfortunate because I love learning about history (including wars). This novel brought back my interest. Once I picked up While My Heart Beats, I couldn't put it down. I kept reading long after bedtime just so I could see what would happen with these two.
Any book that can hold my attention that well doesn't need any other pros, but here are just a few: Johanna's Scottish accent, the beautiful descriptions, well crafted dialogue, and women in nursing uniforms.
Maria: Possible Triggers: As this is a story set in a hospital tending to the wounded, there are mildly graphic depictions of war injuries. Additionally, there is a scene in a field hospital with vivid descriptions of being close to a war zone, including explosions.
While I liked Ellie and Johanna's relationship, in moments there was an overdose of saccharine adorations. I'll group that in with the 'Sister Sunshine' nickname Ellie gets at the hospital. They threw me out of the story for a few moments but I moved passed them.
Also, Ellie's father has a pivotal role in the story and as such, I wish we had seen more of their relationship.
Caitlin: There is nothing I disliked about this one. If you don't like war books, this is unlikely to be a good pick for you because there is some discussion of the injuries suffered by the soldiers they're treating.
Maria: Even as history nerd, World Wars haven't typically drawn my interest. Men in trenches, warfare, bombs and guns? Yuck. Yet stories about individuals, their struggles and their sacrifices, matter. This fictional novel offers a realistic glimpse into the past. There really was a VADS and in it women from many walks of life. Nurses and doctors in WWI were indeed overwhelmed, facing an unprecedented number of dead and wounded.
Ellie and Johanna not only survive this world, they chose to show compassion. They seize empowerment despite the lack of opportunities for women. I found myself reminded that there were others who had a similar journey. It was worth remembering.
The book linked me more closely to the past while telling a touching love story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching their relationship unfold especially in such an unlikely landscape.
Caitlin: This is one of my favorites of 2020. While the war time backdrop is a sometimes heartbreaking scene, there is something so wholesome about these two characters exploring their growing attraction for one another. Even if you've never read historical romance, these characters and this story are timeless.
Excerpt from While My Heart Beats by Erin McKenzie
Excerpt from Maria
Every minute of every day was trying, but by God, Sister Lennox was smiling. They were both dirty, sore, and exhausted, but that smile lit Sister Lennox's face like a beacon in a storm. Ellie had always thought her beautiful, but standing there now, she was stunning.
After weeks of working side by side, they had developed into an efficient team, but Ellie barely knew her mentor. There was a chink in Sister Lennox's armor now, and Ellie threw caution to the wind.
"Sister Lennox, what is your given name?"
Her question was met by a look of surprise for a long moment, and then Sister Lennox answered quietly, "Johanna."
Perhaps it was Ellie's exhaustion that had her feeling cheeky. She stuck out her hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Johanna. I'm Eleanor, but you can call me Ellie."
Stifling a grin, Johanna clasped her hand. Her work-roughened skin was warm, her touch surprisingly gentle. "I'll do no such thing."
Ellie's heart dropped into her stomach and she pulled her hand away. Bloody hell, I've overstepped my bounds. She let out an audible groan of embarrassment.
"At least not while we're on duty."
Johanna winked, then stepped away and out of the room. Ellie stared after her, then shook her head with a smile.
Excerpt from Caitlin
By the next morning, Johanna couldn't help but feel a bit of excitement, despite the reason for her excursion. A driver took her, along with six soldiers deemed fit to return to their units, to Boulogne, and dropped them at the entrance to the rail station building. She bid the soldiers farewell and good luck, then turned to the driver.
"I've got some supplied to pick up, Sister, but I can meet you here when I've finished. Your new arrivals should be here by then."
"Thank you, Private." The young man touched his cap and drove off.
Johanna stood on the worn wooden platform and took in her surroundings. She hadn't been away from the hospital for weeks, and she felt exhilarated by the different kind of chaos outside of its confines. Motorized vehicles and horse-drawn conveyances vied for space on the street, and old women in black shawls peddled apples and flowers to passersby. The busy hum of a hundred voices was a welcome change from the moans and shouts of men in pain. Just beyond the platform, a sergeant barked orders to a group of soldiers, new arrivals by the look of their pressed khakis and clean puttees. She felt a pang of worry for the fresh-faced lads and contemplated the likelihood that some would end up in their wards at the base hospital.
A distant whistle told of the train's impending arrival, and Johanna's thoughts reluctantly turned to her task. Was Matron off her head, putting her in charge of the volunteers? She was no teacher—she had little patience and even less tolerance for frivolity and nonsense. She was here to do her job and didn't need any interference. Still, Matron Campbell had been good to her, and out of respect for her fellow Scotswoman, she'd have to try her best.
She watched as the train rumbled to a stop, the great black engine belching blacker smoke. In only a few moments, the platform was swarming with people as the passengers disembarked. She searched the crowd until, toward the far end, she caught sight of four heads clad in the white handkerchief caps of the VADs. The women stood still for a bit, looking around, until one seemed to take charge. She strode briskly in Johanna's direction, and the others followed in her wake like little blue and white ducklings. The leader was rather tall, like Johanna, and reddish-blond curls escaped from her cap. As Johanna stepped forward to intercept them, she turned startling blue eyes to her and smiled. Johanna almost smiled back, the woman's confidence and open, friendly face taking her by surprise. Remembered her role and wanting to establish her authority, Johanna schooled her features and spoke sternly.
"Ladies, I am Sister Lennox, and I will be taking you to the hospital to which you've been assigned. I was told to expect five—where is the other volunteer?"
Blue Eyes spoke right up, still smiling. "Miss Andrews has taken ill and couldn't come. It's just the four of us." The others nodded, wide-eyed.
"Humph." Johanna checked her list and called the names. The last name, Miss Eleanor Winthrop, belonged to Blue Eyes, and she nodded. "Come along then—the transport should be waiting." Before Johanna turned to walk away, she noticed Miss Winthrop's smile falter as she exchanged glances with the others. Johanna felt a bit guilty for her brusque manner…but only a wee bit.

Maria Comet
When I was a kid, I pretended I was a highly decorated jet fighter pilot in a multiplanet military organization. I flew my transforming spacecraft, rebelled against the insidious corruption within the quasi-space force, and won the girl of my dreams. Sadly, none of those things were actual career paths so I went into IT instead. All of the above, even the real-life stuff, was fueled by a love of reading. Books opened doors for me from an early age. They showed me possibilities, made me want to explore what the future could be, and offered me hope. Uber Gabrielle/Xena fanfic inspired by the show Xena: Warrior Princess changed my understanding of what love could look like.

Caitlin Ryan
Caitlin lives in Australia, she hates the sun but loves the beach. With two dogs, three cats, and a wife, there is always someone to snuggle with while reading a great book. There aren't many genres Caitlin doesn't read, though she's usually happiest with a lesbian romance. She spends her days editing fiction and might as well live and breathe words. Any spare time she isn't reading is spent playing tabletop games or catching up on her favorite fandoms.

Paradox Valley by Gerri Hill was a fantastic read. I'm a huge Gerri Hill fan and this novel does not


The Giant Sequoia Trees of California's Central Valley are the largest trees (by volumn) in the world and only grow in the high sierras of California in a belt at an elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet, as the crow flies of about 160 miles from the "Trail of 100 Giants" on the Kern County/Tulare County line to the Placer Big Trees Grove in Placer County.
The largest tree is the General Sherman tree in Sequoia National Park. 275ft tall and estimated to be in the region of 2300 to 2700 years old.
Create drama in your space and the feeling of this very special forest to enjoy every day.
My giant sequoia project", "California's Giant Sequoias: Found Nowhere Else on Earth" evolved gradually.
In 2009, after hanging a show that included several Sequoia paintings, in the Exeter Courthouse Gallery, my friend Holly and I went to Sequoia and camped and painted for a week. That was a defining moment. I fell in love with the Sequoias.
I discovered that there where many groves within an easy driving distance from my home in Porterville and that I could easily take a day trip to any of them. I started visiting groves, some with easy access and some that I should not have visited alone. Check out my reviews of several Easy Sequoia Trails on the blog page of my website at www.joycollier.com.
The second defining moment was when my friend Linda Lemons from Burford Frames in Porterville said "You know Joy, I see paintings of the trunks of the trees but not the whole tree" and the 6 foot tall canvas was born. This changed everything. I painted 2′ x 6′ trees. I showed them at "1st Saturday in Three Rivers" in front of the Gateway & Buckeye Lodges. They were a hit.
Over the last few years with fire after fire in the Sierras, I have realized how fragile this environment is and I'd like to do what I can to create awareness and supply resources for the protection of these giants found nowhere else on earth.
10% of all sales will be donated to the non-profit foundation for the park that the image was created in. Take a drive and hug a giant sequoia, today.

Клотильда Бургундская (также Хродехильда или Клотильда Святая; , древнегерм. Chrochtehilde; около 475 — между 544 и 548) — вторая жена франкского короля Хлодвига I с 492 года.

Имя Клотильда в переводе со старогерманского означает «прославившаяся в бою».

Клотильда почитается как святая: православные празднуют её день 16 июня (3 июня по юлианскому календарю), католики — 3 июня (во Франции 4 июня).

Биография

Происхождение
Дочь короля бургундов Хильперика II (около 436—491), брата короля Гундобада, и Агриппины (около 440—491). В отличие от своего дяди, Клотильда исповедовала христианство Никейского Символа веры, в то время как Гундобад придерживался арианства.

Григорий Турский в своей «Истории франков» писал:

«В то время у бургундов королём был Гундевех из рода короля Атанариха, гонителя христиан, о котором мы упоминали выше. У Гундевеха было четыре сына: Гундобад, Годигизил, Хильперик и Годомар. И вот Гундобад убил мечом своего брата Хильперика, а его жену утопил в реке, привязав к шее камень. Двух его дочерей он обрек на изгнание; из них старшую, ставшую монахиней, звали Хроной, младшую — Хродехильдой». (Книга 2, глава 28).

История о страшной смерти Агриппины — скорее всего легенда, возникшая позже, так как в Лионе недавно была найдена эпитафия, посвящённая некоей бургундской королеве, которая умерла в 506 году. Вполне возможно, что речь идёт о матери Клотильды.

Брак
Бракосочетание Хлодвига I и Клотильды состоялось в 492 году. Григорий Турский описывает сватовство Хлодвига следующим образом:

«…так как Хлодвиг часто посылал посольства в Бургундию, то его послы однажды увидели девушку Хродехильду. Найдя её красивой и умной и узнав, что она королевского рода, они сообщили об этом королю Хлодвигу. Тот немедленно направил послов к Гундобаду с просьбой отдать её ему в жены. Так как Гундобад побоялся отказать Хлодвигу, он передал её послам. Те приняли её и быстро доставили королю. Увидев её, король очень обрадовался и женился на ней. Но у него уже был сын, по имени Теодорих, от наложницы». (Книга 2, глава 28).

Свадьба состоялась, скорее всего, в Суассоне.

Принятие христианства Хлодвигом

Клотильда вместе со святым Ремигием уговорила Хлодвига I принять ортодоксальное вероисповедание.

Последние годы
Клотильда Бургундская овдовела в 511 году. Сама она умерла между 544 и 548 годами.

Клотильда почитается святой в православных и католических церквях. Считается, что она покровительствует невестам, приёмным детям, родителям, изгнанникам и вдовам.

Дети
 Ингомер (493; умер во младенчестве)
 Хлодомер (495—524), король Орлеана
 Хильдеберт I (497—558), король Парижа
 Хлотарь I (около 500—561), король Суассона

Q: How to make buttons with custom shapes? I'm developing an iPhone app that requires buttons to be of shapes other than rectangles/squares for eg, an amoeba shaped button. Also, when the button is clicked, the button is highlighted only as much as its size. So just setting a background image only is not enough. How should I go about it?

A: One way would be to make pre-rendered images for both the normal state and selected state.  Then set use setBackgroundImage: forState: to set each image to it's appropriate state.
I should add, your pre-rendered images would include transparency around the "amoeba" shape and would therefore give the illusion of an "amoeba" shaped button. Combining that with a selected state image of the selected state of the "amoeba" shape as well as disabling highlightAdjustsImage should give you the result you desire. Or am I still misunderstanding something?

It's been quite some time since I last updated this blog, and now that I've been here five months I thought it was time to check in. We are now at the beginning of Summer, and although I thought the rainy weather had passed, it seems that Summer here is pretty inconsistent and you can still expect days of 32c blazing sun in between days of 8c rain and thunderstorms. I must admit I think I preferred Winter, as at least the weather was more predictable! Now, I can leave the house in the morning to go to work wrapped up in layers, and leave work when it's 30c and risk getting sunburnt. I hate the unpredictability, not knowing what to wear whenever I leave the house, and the quick changes in weather throughout the day. I definitely miss the weather at home, as I love cosy rainy days and the consistency! I've gained a bit of a reputation amongst friends here for constantly moaning about the weather. I'm clearly never happy!
Weather aside (such a typically British trait to talk about the weather first and foremost!), I can't quite believe I am still here. I think for the first few months of being in Australia I felt like I was on an extended holiday, but now that I've been in my job full-time for just over two months, the reality of staying here has well and truly sunk in. I am really enjoying work, as the staff have been extremely welcoming, I've gotten to know the patients, and I'm finally getting used to the ways the ward and the trust work. I am still struggling with some vast differences to practices in the UK, but I feel I've finally got into my groove and I have a routine I'm happy with.
I'm still meeting plenty of new people, mostly friends of friends and a lot them fellow nurses; the fact that most people are here are on a Working Holiday Visa means that everyone is in the same mentality of saying 'yes' to most opportunities, and embracing talking to anyone and everyone. It's not hard to get chatting to people here as everyone is so friendly, and this just opens up plenty of new opportunities.
I've got lots to look forward to over the next few months, including a few day trips and a road trip along the Great Ocean Road just before Christmas, and five days in Tasmania in January, coinciding with Australia Day. I have tickets booked to see Mumford & Sons in January, and George Ezra in February, and every spare day off seems to get filled pretty quickly. The only thing I've not really got sorted here is my gym and exercise routine. I've become lazy, shied away from getting stuck into new gym classes with new people, and put off getting up early to make it to classes. I need to get my motivation back and find something that works for me, as I'm feeling sluggish and I know that once I get back into the routine, I'll really enjoy it.
I am very happy here, but the longer I'm here I find the more the days of feeling homesick slip in. The feeling doesn't last long as I remind myself how many opportunities there are here of things to see and do, but sometimes I can't help feeling that I wish I could ship everyone out here with me.


One hundred years of poster-making in America is celebrated in Posters American Style, a major exhibition of 86 compelling images by American graphic designers and artists, at the Oakland Museum of California June 26 - Aug. 29, 1999. The exhibition includes colorful circus and literary posters of the 1890s, government-sponsored posters from World Wars I and II, psychedelic rock concert posters of the 1960s, protest images of the 1970s and new designs of the 1990s.
The exhibition brings together some of the great graphic images made in the United States over the past century and offers an overview of graphic design in the U.S. since the late 1800s. To be selected for the exhibition, says guest curator Therese Thau Heyman, curator emeritus of prints and photography at the Oakland Museum of California, "The image had to be strong enough to carry the message, and it needed to be a message that could be readily understood today. We chose those posters that represent the most remarkable use of graphic art."
To recall the ways in which posters are usually seen, the installation design is evocative of a "Main Street," with a central corridor introducing exhibition highlights. In adjoining sections, posters are grouped according to four broad themes: "Designed to Sell," "American Events and Entertainment," "Advocacy and Advice," and "Patriots and Protesters."
Posters advertising literary publications are among the earliest examples included in "Designed to Sell." With the proliferation of new magazines -- spawned by rising literacy rates in the 19th century -- posters were designed to encourage more subscribers. Arthur Wesley Dow's elegant poster design promoting the journal Modern Art (1895), for example, appealed to the refined tastes of its audience. More recent works in this section, however, reveal a different advertising approach. William Taubin and Howard Zieff's "You Don't Have to Be Jewish to Love Levy's" (1967), promoting Levy's rye bread, features a Native American spokesperson. It's meant to surprise.
Throughout history, posters have been an important vehicle for the promotion of leisure activities. In "American Events and Entertainment," a wide range of interests -- movies, art exhibitions, sports -- is vibrantly featured. The circus and the 1960s psychedelic rock concerts have inspired particularly raucous poster designs. For example, in "Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows/Seals that Exhibit Intelligence" (1924), the loud imagery screams while key information -- date, time, name of event ~ reads as subtext.
The use of posters as promotion was never more palpable than just before our entry into World War I, when some of the best-known American illustrators were recruited by the U.S. government to produce graphic designs promoting the war effort. The most famous in this genre, included in "Patriots and Protesters," is James Montgomery Flagg's "I Want You for U.S. Army" (1917). The poster was so effective that it was recycled 23 years later for use in World War II. In "Boycott Grapes: Support the United Farm Workers Union" (1973), Xavier Viramontes chooses an Aztec warrior, squeezing "blood" out of red and white grapes, to heighten awareness of working conditions endured by Mexican-American farmworkers.
California artists are strongly represented in the exhibition, from 1895 posters by Maynard Dixon and Florence Lundborg to recent work dealing with such social concerns as labor organizing (Ester Hernandez) and AIDS prevention (David Lance Goines). The Bay Area counterculture of the 1960s provided the impetus for a new genre of rock and psychedelic posters, represented in the exhibition by works by Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, David Singer and Wes Wilson.
The popular art of poster-making has its origins as a tool for advertising, promotion and advocacy. Advances in printing technology in the late 1800s allowed for production of large-format, full-color pictures in great quantities at low cost. In being attached to a specific event or cause, posters are intentionally ephemeral, and as a means of immediate, local communication, they are fundamentally democratic. Heyman writes, "...the most significant thread in our response to posters of all periods is a willingness to accept the disappearance of the distinction between high and low art."
The exhibition was organized by the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, and was made possible by a generous gift from Helen and Peter Bing, with additional support from Steven Schmidt and the Smithsonian's Special Exhibition Program.

I am in the process of planning an all-night "lock-out" for the youth at the church I'm working at. There are 6 of them, plus two adults, and we will be driving all around DFW doing things like bowling, laser tag, malibu car racing, etc. I'm planning to include a "scavenger hunt" type thing throughout the night, using as many digital cameras as we can find. When we get back to the church, we'll download the pictures and have some fun looking at everything.
But what I need are ideas of what to look for. Since we'll all be together, we can't have any kind of team competition, so I'll likely give credit to whoever took the photo. We may even have to share cameras, so keep that in mind.
What are some crazy, funny, obscure, and perhaps even meaningful things we can try to capture on "film?" Think about it and post a comment ASAP...the lock-out is Friday, April 20!!

As the catalyst for a death-defying descent into the fiery depths of the Underworld, Down to Hell's central premise is just slightly off.
The Nameless One, that's you, is a Knight so powerful that no one dares to face him, so he goes out into the world to prove himself against monsters and demons. However, he is quickly overwhelmed by a bunch of low-level mobs and essentially killed. He is then saved by a wandering girl, who is immediately kidnapped by monsters and dragged into Hell. Rather than set off to rescue her out of chivalry or duty, the idiot Knight instead vows to rescue her only to prove that he didn't need her help in the first place. If you are onboard at all by this point, you may not be afterwards, as this utter dick of a protagonist is written like a surly spoiled child.
Now, concessions could be made for the writing as it has been localised from Polish to English, but so were The Witcher novels and they aren't as clumsily written as this. Luckily, that's more or less all the story you get for the entire 3 hour runtime.
I probably sound super negative already but that's because I went into Down to Hell blind, and perhaps unfairly built up my expectations. I thought I was in for another Dark Devotion, Dead Cells or Salt & Sanctuary, a 2D soulslike with thrilling combat and a brooding atmosphere, but aside the overly-gloomy visuals, most of Down to Hell is a bit of a mess.
Combat is a weird mix of hacking and air-dodging with a parry that requires such millimetre-tight precision that I decided early on to just live without it. The heavy metal soundtrack, part of the selling point, oddly, works in conjunction with a weirdly hyperactive camera to kind of zoom in and out more or less in time with your attacks to create a feeling of nausea, present for reasons best known to the developer.
There's a sense that Red Dev have come at this from the right angle but with the wrong tools, trying to carve something elegant from a lump of rough granite with a pneumatic drill and a claw hammer. The result is a game that gets almost nothing right, including a progression system I didn't know existed until I was halfway through and voice work that makes Barry Burton sound like Tom Hanks.
At the end of each slog of enemies there's a boss battle, and Down to Hell squeezes a surprising number of them into its runtime. Unfortunately, though, they're just not very imaginative, requiring you to do little more than hit them and dodge through their attacks until they're dead. With no inventive encounters, build variety, or arsenal of moves for your knight, you're left tackling them all in the same way.
Down to Hell may be an indie game from a small studio, but that's not a caveat anymore, not in this day and age when so many indie games from small studios compete comfortably with AAA titles and bowl us over with their innovations and ideas. Ultimately, Down to Hell can't even be saved by the soundtrack it's so proud of. The artwork on display may be its only real triumph, since it at least conveys the right atmosphere, weaving a spell that may be easily broken but which at least exists for a fleeting moment. Sadly, though, it's not enough to make Down to Hell worthy of any kind of recommendation.
Arts style adds atmosphere
Music will appeal to metal fans
Unrefined combat
Terrible writing
Bad localisation
Unimaginative boss fights
SCORE OUT OF TEN
A poor offering from Red Dev leaves us with a game almost impossible to recommend


A wine of tamed power… Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and are selected one by one. The wine is matured for twelve months in French oak barrels (80 % new, 20 % one year old) for which fine grain wood is selected to develop length and elegance.Apogée is a tale of love between a man and his land... In the heart of St Chinian, Michel Cazevieille lavishes unfailing care and attention on his vines to craft this wine at its finest.
Colour dark red–black, intense and deep.Nose powerful, developing aromas of ripe red and black fruit (bilberries, blackberries) and scents of torrefaction, of cocoa beans, black olives ('tapenade'), spices and a hint of cherries. Mouth well structured, long and wonderfully soft; ripe fruit aromas lead to a long finish.

1—First record at this time is the 1841 Market Stainton, Lincs census of William Snowden and wife Eliza. Census included reference to their children. William and Eliza are listed as both being 35 years old, placing their birth dates at about 1806. Census states William was born in Lincs, with no place of birth given for Eliza 2—The 1851 census of North Ormsby, Lincs contains similar information, with William age 49 (b. 1802) and born in Legbourne, Lincs. Document states Eliza was age 43, with no birth location other than "British Subject." Her age is stated as 43, placing her date of birth as about 1808. 3—The 1861 census of North Somercotes, Lincs, places William's age as 56 (b. in abt 1805) and place of birth as North Reston (1.5 miles from Legbourne, previously stated in 1851). Eliza is listed as age 52 (b. 1808/9) and born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. [Commentary—Distance from Louth to Portsmouth is 183 miles. Portsmouth is a sea port town, apparently with a strong naval presence during this period. William was employed at the time of their marriage as a shepherd, and in 1861 as an agricultural worker. Clearly he was poor and uneducated; leading a rural lifestyle. ] 4—By the 1871 census both William and Eliza had passed away. Their lives were well documented though; with William's christening at the St. Ediths Parish and his death in Manby resulting from a fall well supported. Eliza's death appears well documented, but little is available concerning her birth. 5—Why she listed herself as a "British Subject" followed by being born in "Portsmouth, Hampshire, England" has previously been believed to be a result of being born out of wedlock. From memory, this may have been a result in my personal records from conversations with Ian McMillan concerning the genealogical investigation his father did. Other information coming from family members has convinced me of the accuracy of the current information on Eliza. However, considering Leslie Deane's treatise it appears perfectly plausible that in her early life—even after marriage—she may not have known where she was born. She, and all the players, likely did not read nor write well in their early years—making their birth place information inimportant, available nor needed. 6—How Eliza came to Louth, Lincolnshire is a question not likely to be answered. A review of an old English genealogy book states that in the 1800's Lincolnshire derived it's income from farming and fishing. Being located on the coast, it is possible that ships arrived and contact could have been made in this manner—should Eliza have been born in Portsmouth. It could be that Eliza made a visit to Louth from Portsmouth, and met William Snowden through family friends, or church attendance. 7—Leslie Deane references Dorilas Alfred Snowden in the 1851 census. He is identified as a girl, not a boy. But living alongside, according to the census, was Robert Emmerson and his wife Ann. Leslie implies this is a clue that Eliza could have been the daughter of Robert and Ann, not the illegitimate daughter of Eliza Emmerson born in August of 1776 in SOUTH Somercotes. [Restatement for clarity.] The mother of Eliza may have be living in the home adjacent to Eliza's son Emmerson Snowden. Robert and Ann would then be the grandparents of Emmerson Snowden. In the 1861 census Ann is living alone as a widow. I note that they both appear to be living at the same address; which likely indicates they were living communally. In future census returns Emmerson Snowden is listed as having the occupation of Cordwainer AND Cottager. A cottager is one who holds out living quarters for rent. It appears likely that there may have been several homes on the same property used for income production by Emmerson Snowden. The postulate of Leslie appears reasonable, and may be justified if additional evidence is forthcoming. 8-- Robert Emmerson (b 1777) appears in my personal genealogy as the brother of Richard Emmerson (b 1772). This is likely the christening date. Both were born in South Somercotes, Lincs; as the children of Richard Emmerson (b 1732) and Elizabeth Hutton. The mother of Eliza, named Elizabeth Emmerson, would have been their sister. Most genealogical websites suggest this Elizabeth is the mother of Eliza, wife of William Snowden. 9—A trusted website is the "Lincolnshire and Fenland Families" website maintained by Jacky Clark. This website gives the birthdates as follows: Richard (1732)	3 Dec 1732 in South Somercotes, Lincs Ann Snapes	No information (first wife—married 7 Dec 1759 in S. Somercotes) Elizabeth Hutton	No information (2nd wife—married 12 Nov 1771 in S. Somercotes) Robert 5 Oct 1777 in S. Somercotes Richard	20 Oct 1772 in S. Somercotes (his family information is provided too) Elizabeth	6 Sep 1776 in S. Somercotes John	18 Jun 1780 in S. Somercotes Given my confidence in the Lincolnshire and Fenland history, and the fact that my original dates for Robert and Richard were taken from an unsourced website, I will make a change and follow the L&F protocol for these people. 10—Ann Snapes, listed above as the wife of Richard Emmerson. Ann Snapes, b 12 Feb 1738 in St. Saviour, Surrey, Southwark Borough. Parents were Charles and Sarah Mary Ann Snapes, b 31 Oct 1739 in St. Mary at Lambeth, Surrey, Lambeth Borough Parents were John and Catharine Snapes Ann Snapes, c. 13 Jun 1730 at Westiminister, London Parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Snapes 11—Ann Snapes appears to be a strong possibility as a second wife of Richart 1732 because his marriage to Elizabeth Hutton in 1771 would make Richard 39 at the time of the marriage. However, having children with a prior wife would reasonably imply bringing children into the new marriage with Elizabeth; but those children do not show up. For now, it appears that Ann Snapes would best be left off this tree, until such evidence becomes known. [Revision] When searching Rootsweb I discovered Ann Snapes, only to learn that she was in my tree AND with a citation indicating the information came from Shirley Berry. Also provided was a death date and marriage date. The dates fell into line with Elizabeth Hutton, and the name was reinserted into my current database. 12—Elizabeth Hutton, wife of Richard Emmerson 1732. The Smith Family Tree 2010 Tree on Ancestry gives her birth as 1739; with parents named Joseph Hutton and Mary Wells. Birth years for the parents are 1703 for Joseph and 1704 for Mary.

If the cleanliness level is not monitored and efforts for improvement not made early enough, wear and tear can gradually reduce the system efficiency. Sometimes the system efficiency can fall by 20% before the machine operator even notices a problem. That is why preventative and predictive maintenance are so important.
A HYDAC Lab (HLB) sensor that continuously monitors the condition of the oil by measuring the temperature, water saturation, conductivity and change in dielectric constant — indicating changes in viscosity, mix or dilution, and possible oil deterioration.
HYDAC smart sensors have a HSI interface built in, therefore no configuration is necessary. The CSI instantly recognises the sensors and configures the display appropriately — a valuable plug-and-play feature. The CSI has also an output port for data transmission via a LAN cable and has an antenna that allows for wireless transmission via Wi-Fi. Users can access the data recorded on the system wirelessly using the HYDAC FluMoS mobile app, available as a free download from the Google Play Store.
Connect the CSI to a power-conditioned outlet.
Damage can always be prevented if appropriate steps are taken in due time and a smart system, as the one mentioned above, can help greatly to accomplish this task.

Q: How can entropic effects be prevalent at low temperatures? I read in a book that at low temperature the hydrophobic effect (for example) is entropic but at high temperatures it is enthalpic. I thought that entropy should decrease at very low temperatures. Hypothetically, can you even have entropic effects at absolute zero?

A: What did your book mean by "low" temperature ? In this case I guess it's room temperature, which is really not close to absolute 0. Anyway, note that what matters is not the absolute entropy but the variations between two states, and even at low temperatures entropy variations can be high between two different spatial configurations.
To answer your question, notice that at absolute 0, TS=0 so that no entropic effect could be seen, in my opinion. The situation would be different at a positive temperature, since even at a very low (but positive) temperature, entropy variations can be important.

Q: Is it a big performance gain to run a VM from a second drive? Dell offers a laptop with either a 500GB drive or two 320GB drives (both 7200rpm and no options for SSD).  I will be running VMs for development and will also have several TrueCrypt mounts.
I figure two drives are better for a):  faster disk access, and b): data is on separate drive from OS.  Is that right?

A: Scott Hansellman made a blog post with great advices about VM performance. Jeff Atwood too, with some benchmarks (it's from 2006, but still useful). And all of them agree about a second hard drive for your VMs. And I agree with them. When I use VM with a virtual disk in the same disk in my Vista it's a pain.
I would follow the advices presented in these links, since they are from programmers too, so you may have similar problems.

A: That would be a good solution.  Keep the VMs on one and the OS and other stuff on the other.  We found a significant improvement running the VMs on external eSATA drives for systems that did not support two drives.

A: Don't worry about performance - two disks are only better when you're working with them both at the same time, such as when copying from one to the other.
Or if you have two VMs active and working at the same time, having each on its own disk would improve disk throughput, on condition of having a multi-core (or multi-thread) CPU. But if both active VMs are on the same hard disk, then it's totally unimportant on which disk they are.
That said, here's some mathematics: 2 x 320 = 640 > 500. So you gain 140 GB.
If you go for the 2 disk solution, for me 320GB is too large for a system disk. I would go even further and partition the first disk into, say, 40 GB system disk with Windows and all the applications. This make it easier to backup an image of the system disk, which I do systematically just-in-case before I let Microsoft's Windows Update destroy my running system.
In that case I would have:
C = disk 1 partition 1 (40 GB)
D = disk2 (320 GB)
E = disk1 partition 2 (280 GB)
Please note that repartitioning the C drive will probably involve reinstallation of Windows (or restore from the OEM restore partition after re-partitioning).

A: It really depends what you are going to be virtualising.
I previously said in another post that for example, I can have around 10 VMs open at any one time without noticing any sort of slow downs when I am doing various tests on low spec machines that are not I/O intensive, where as, if I am doing anything a little bit intensive - just having 2/3 open can bring the computer to a stand still.
If you are planning on anything intensive or want loads open at the same time, get a second hard drive - otherwise, you should be ok.

A: If the second drive is faster than the first, and you are able to have unfragmented volumes on your second drive, VM will be faster. If you're first internal drive is faster and well defragged, that one will probably perform better.

Media and morality
The new movie Zero Dark Thirty, which tells the story of the tracking and eventual killing of Osama Bin Laden, has received several Oscar nominations (including Best Picture), but it's attracting another kind of attention as well: several writers, including Jane Meyer at The New Yorker and Peter Maass at The Atlantic, have accused it of condoning or even glorifying the use of torture by US intelligence agencies.

Asking Questions About Media Violence
In January, American Vice-President Joe Biden met with video game industry representatives in the wake of the tragic events at Sandy Hook to discuss the possible relationship between video games and gun violence. Five days later, President Barack Obama asked the United States Congress to fund more research to study the potential link between violence and video games, noting that "We don't benefit from ignorance".

Convergence, Collaboration & Media Literacy: A CBC Experience
This week, the Students whom I work with at Golf Road Junior Public School had an amazing opportunity directly related to our work together in studying Media Literacy, specific to Television and Film Media. After being approached by Media Smarts, I was connected with the CBC who wanted to engage with and film a class focused on Students' perceptions and opinions on Violence within popular films.
Movies, Television, Violence
Why is Violent Media so Pervasive?
Representations of violence are not new. In fact, violence has been a key part of media since the birth of literature: Ancient Greek poetry and drama frequently portrayed murder, suicide and self-mutilation, many of Shakespeare's plays revel in violence, torture, maiming, rape, revenge and psychological terror, and some of the most popular books of the 19th century were "penny dreadfuls" that delivered blood, gore and other shocks to the lowest common denominator.
Marketing Violence to Young People
No one knows better than the communications industries that children and youth represent a huge market, due to both their own spending power and their influence on family spending decisions.
Critically Engaging with Media Violence
While parents may find certain representations of violence wholly appropriate for young people, there is a wide continuum of content that exists online and in the media. Anything from a cartoon cat having an anvil comically dropped on his head to video images of real life injuries and deaths can be accessed online by children and youth.
What do We Know About Media Violence?
It is difficult to set down in a definitive way what effect media violence has on consumers and young people. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main issue is that terms like "violence" and "aggression" are not easily defined or categorized. To a child, almost any kind of conflict, such as the heated arguments of some talk-radio shows or primetime news pundits, can sound as aggressive as two cartoon characters dropping anvils on one another.
Government and Industry Responses to Media Violence
Media violence has been taken up as a public policy issue by a number of Western countries. Central to the debate has been the challenge of accommodating what may appear to be opposing principles—the protection of children from unsuitable media content and upholding the right to freedom of expression.
Movies, Television, Video Games, Violence
The Concerns About Video Games
The video game sector is the fastest growing entertainment industry and second only to music in profitability. Global sales of video game software hit almost $17 billion U.S. in 2011. [1]
Gender Representation, Stereotyping, Video Games, Violence, Visible Minorities
Marketing Fear to Parents and Adults
As concerned adults, we also need to recognize when our anxieties about media violence are used to sell us on blanket censorship, ideology, and a variety of products.

Clairvoyant of the Small The Life of Robert Walser Susan Bernofsky
14 b-w + 4 color illus.
The first English-language biography of one of the great literary talents of the twentieth century, written by his award-winning translator
The great Swiss-German modernist author Robert Walser lived eccentrically on the fringes of society, shocking his Berlin friends by enrolling in butler school and later developing an urban-nomad lifestyle in the Swiss capital, Bern, before checking himself into a psychiatric clinic. A connoisseur of power differentials, his pronounced interest in everything inconspicuous and modest—social outcasts and artists as well as the impoverished, marginalized, and forgotten—prompted W. G. Sebald to dub him "a clairvoyant of the small." His revolutionary use of short prose forms had an enormous influence on Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Robert Musil, and many others.
He was long believed an outsider by conviction, but Susan Bernofsky presents a more nuanced view in this immaculately researched and beautifully written biography. Setting Walser in the context of early twentieth century European history, she provides illuminating analysis of his extraordinary life and work, bearing witness to his "extreme artistic delight."
Susan Bernofsky is associate professor of writing at Columbia University School of the Arts and director of the literary translation program at Columbia's MFA Writing Program. She has translated over twenty books.
