New poem style. This one is crazy. It has so many rules. More about Double-Dactyls on Wikipedia. In brief, though, it has to have 8 lines, of which 1-3 & 5-7 are two dactyls (stressed-unstressed-unstressed) and 4 & 8 are a dactyl followed by a monosyllable. Line two must contain a name. The second stanza must have a six-syllable word as one of its lines. The last lines of the stanzas must rhyme with each other. Without further ado, “Self-Referentially”:

text: A fun challenge this week over at the Tuesday Throwdown, distressing! I love to add distressing on my projects, usually through some Distress ink, but I took it a bit further this time by really roughing up my paper edges with an edge distressor and then actuallly tearing and bending it. I used double sided paper for this so that it looked more finished even with all the distressing. I used a CHF stamp and sentiment, stiched my main panel and added a big silk, twine tied button flower. I hope you'll hop on over the the TT blog and join us this week!

Minnesota is wrapping up a busy year of construction and more of the same is sure to come in 2020. In this year-end roundup, Finance & Commerce takes a look at 10 big projects to keep an eye on in the coming year.
Some of the projects, such as the $1.536 billion Bottineau Light Rail Transit line, are still in the planning stage. Others, such as the $240 million Silver Ramp at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, are in the home stretch of construction.
Projects on the list range in cost from an estimated $102.5 million to just north of $2 billion.
The list, which offers a sampling of building and transportation projects from across the state, includes:
Size: 14.5-mile route
Location: A corridor between downtown Minneapolis and Eden Prairie
Cost: $2.003 billion
Owner: Metropolitan Council
Description: The Southwest LRT line is the biggest public works project in Minnesota history. It encompasses 16 stations, 29 new bridges, seven bridge modifications, eight tunnels, 15 at-grade crossings, 182,000 feet of track and more than 100 retaining walls. Major construction started in 2019. The line is scheduled to open for service in 2023.
Milestones to watch in 2020: The Metropolitan Council expects to get word of a full funding grant agreement in the first quarter of 2020. That puts the federal government on the hook for 48% of the project cost. In November 2018, the Met Council received a “letter of no prejudice” from the Federal Transit Administration, a milestone that cleared the way for construction.
Size: 13-mile route
Cost: $1.536 billion
Location: A route between downtown Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park
Owner: Metropolitan Council
Description: The project includes 11 new stations and construction along a corridor passing through Minneapolis, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal and Brooklyn Park. The Met Council estimates it will take 6,500 construction workers to build the line. The estimated construction payroll is $300 million.
Milestones to watch in 2020: Once targeted for a 2020 construction start, the Bottineau project is in limbo because of a delay in executing a corridor-sharing agreement with the BNSF Railway. The project is at the 90% design stage. Hennepin County, a partner in the project, continues to work with communities on planning development around the corridor and other initiatives, county spokesman Kyle Mianulli said. The county remains “absolutely committed” to making the project happen, he said.
Size: 122 acres
Location: Along Ford Parkway in St. Paul’s Highland Park neighborhood
Cost: $1 billion-plus
Owner: Master developer Ryan Cos. US Inc. and various partners
Description: Roughly 3,800 mixed-income housing units, 150,000 square feet of retail space and 265,000 square feet of offices will anchor the site once occupied by a Ford Motor Co. manufacturing plant. The project will include 50 acres of parks and open space.
Milestones to watch in 2020: Ryan completed the $61 million acquisition of the development site in December. Also in December, Ryan announced a partnership with Weidner Apartment Homes for market-rate apartments on the site. Ryan previously tapped Project for Pride in Living and CommonBond Communities to deliver 760 affordable units. Ryan plans to break ground in spring 2020.
Size: A mix of Class A offices, apartments, retail, entertainment and hospitality uses in four towers.
Location: A 5-acre site overlooking the Mississippi River at 50 W. Kellogg Blvd.
Cost: $788 million
Owner: AECOM, with Ramsey County and the city of St. Paul
Description: The $278 million first phase will deliver 132,000 square feet of public realm space and trail connections, two towers with a 168-key hotel, 56 condo units, 350 rental apartments, 11,500 square feet of retail and 500 parking spaces. Phases two and three will bring two office-retail towers with additional parking. In all, the redevelopment will create 1,546 parking stalls, according to AECOM.
Milestones to watch in 2020: Last summer, after a six-month due diligence process and years of on-again, off-again proposals for the county-owned site, the Ramsey County Board agreed to a redevelopment deal with AECOM. Construction is expected to start in 2020.
Size: Bridge and interchange replacements
Cost: $440 million
Location: At the intersection of Interstate 35, Interstate 535 and Highway 53 in Duluth
Owner: Minnesota Department of Transportation
Description: The Twin Ports Interchange project is designed to improve safety and traffic flow in a busy freight corridor. Scopes of work include replacement of 35 bridges and reconstruction of a tangled interchange known to locals as the “Can of Worms.”
Milestones to watch in 2020: MnDOT said in November that the project’s estimated cost has grown to $440 million – up from $343 million. Geotechnical challenges and the presence of contaminated soil and water are among the reasons for the higher cost. Despite the cost pressures, MnDOT plans to begin construction this spring on components that include the I-35 mainline, the main I-35/I-535/Highway 53 interchange, utilities, and culvert construction. Other components, such as the Garfield Avenue Interchange and replacement of the Highway 53 Bridge, are being delayed until more money is available. Initial construction is set to begin in May.
Size: 140 acres
Location: Canterbury Park property at 1100 Canterbury Road in Shakopee
Cost: $400 million
Owner: Canterbury Park
Description: Canterbury Commons will bring hundreds of new housing units, entertainment, restaurants, and lodging to underused areas around Canterbury Park. Doran Cos. is building the first major project — the Triple Crown Residences at Canterbury, a $100 million, 321-unit luxury apartment building.
Milestones to watch in 2020: Canterbury officials have been working on infrastructure improvements to set the table for additional development. Planned new developments in 2020 include additional housing, offices, and other uses, said Jason Haugen, Canterbury’s director of development. Look for more announcements in the first quarter of 2020.
Size: 485,000 square feet of new space
Location: Various locations in the White Bear Lake school district
Cost: $326 million
Owner: White Bear Lake Area Schools
Description: Voters in the White Bear Lake school district made history last fall when they approved a $326 million bond referendum, the largest in state history. The five-year construction program will touch all 16 buildings maintained by the district. Highlights include a 375,000-square-foot addition to White Bear Lake Area High School’s North Campus and a new elementary school in Hugo.
Milestones to watch in 2020: The school district is still in the planning phase. A planning group known as the Future of Learning Committee has met two times and two more meetings are scheduled for January. Construction will happen in phases through the 2024-25 school year.
Size: 250,000-square feet
Cost: $250 million
Location: A surface parking site across from the Mall of America’s front entrance
Owner: Provident Resource Group is the nonprofit owner and operator
Description: Project backers say the new water park would bring more visitors and energy to the megamall, thus stimulating an indoor shopping attraction that accounts for 10 percent of the city’s property tax base.
Milestones to watch in 2020: The Bloomington City Council granted zoning and entitlements for the water park in mid-December. In the first quarter of 2020, the council and Port Authority will consider the remaining development documents, according to the city.
Size: 11-level parking ramp
Cost: $240 million
Location: MSP Airport Terminal 1-Lindbergh Terminal
Owner: Metropolitan Airports Commission
Description: In the fall of 2017, PCL Construction Services set a new standard for projects at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport when it submitted the $229.25 million low bid to build the new Silver Ramp. It’s the largest single construction contract ever awarded by the MAC. The 5,000-space ramp is under construction on a tight site between the existing Blue and Red ramps, the airport post office, and roadways leading to and from the terminal.
Milestones to watch in 2020: After more than two years of construction, the project is in the home stretch. John Welbes, a Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman, said the parking structure is on schedule to open in April.
Size: 400,000 square feet
Cost: $102.5 million to $114 million
Location: Western edge of Metro Transit’s Heywood campus at 560 Sixth Ave. N. in Minneapolis
Owner: Metropolitan Council
Description: The new garage will offer additional space for bus storage, maintenance, operations and support functions. The Met Council is rebidding the project. Initial bids came in well above the $102.5 million estimate. The Met Council was prepared to award the contract to Knutson, the second-lowest bidder, after concluding that low bidder Adolfson & Peterson didn’t make a “good faith effort” to meet the council’s 15% goal for participation of disadvantaged business enterprises. In September, A&P filed a lawsuit to challenge the council’s decision. A&P dropped the lawsuit after learning that the council planned to rebid the project.
Milestones to watch in 2020: The Met Council is evaluating the bids and expects a contract to be awarded in early March, pending approvals from the transportation committee and the full council, Met Council spokeswoman Bonnie Kollodge said. Construction is expected to start in April and wrap up in September 2022.

Surfing in Sheboygan, WI

It may seem strange, but the best months for good surfing waves in Sheboygan are around September through March, when cooler, denser air pushes water into bigger and more powerful waves. You'll definitely want to pack your wet suit for winter surfing in Sheboygan!
Surfers will enjoy uncrowded waves and a lack of sharks on Lake Michigan as well as a friendly Midwestern welcome!

Elizabeth Boylan doesn't favour the shooting and space genres she feels saturate the videogame market.
Instead, the creative director of VectorBloom Technologies is creating games that incorporate ballerinas, butterflies and lulling music with a long-term goal of building a cult following among girls and young women aged 12 to 28.
"There haven't been enough game designers who are female. Now's the time for females not to be intimidated by entering the market," said the Emily Carr University of Art and Design dropout who registered VectorBloom in 2008 and started developing apps in 2009.
"Always the best games are made by people whose intention is to make a game that they love," she added.
Boylan, 36, had been struggling with developing a puzzle game but cast that aside to piece together a game based on her childhood passions.
Originally from Montreal and an admirer of the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, she longed to study ballet as a girl and loves music and costumes. She plans to develop 12 mini games under the umbrella title of Big Top Ballet.
Players of Kaleidoscope, the first mini game, which was released at the end of February, attach floating costumes to "paper" ballerinas that spin faster and faster. It's game over when too many costumes are dropped. It's available for download to computers and smartphones.
When the monarch butterfly arrives in the next version of the game to be released on Facebook in September, players need to fly the monarch through hoops to transform the ballerinas into butterflies as the music soars.
Boylan said the games will weave together and explore fantasy and nightmares. "That appeals more to females than having to spend hours to unlock all the levels instead of being to explore which one they like best," she said.
Boylan isn't worried some may see Big Top Ballet as playing into girlish stereotypes. "Part of the whole benefits of freedom, and that's what the feminist movement is about, is the freedom to choose," Boylan said. "When I'm free to choose without reacting to the patriarchy, then I'm going to create whatever I want."
Boylan's collaborators in Big Top Ballet include her husband, who's a programmer, and ill-esha, a former Vancouver-based music producer, DJ, vocalist and MC. Boylan, who lives in Nelson and plans to return to Vancouver next month, connected with ill-esha through Salmo's Shambhala Music Festival.
Boylan raised $5,000 through a crowd funding website for apps last summer. She hopes to pay online investors the required 54 per cent premium of their contributions from game sales by fall.
More than 6,000 individuals "like" Big Top Ballet on its Facebook page. As the lead in a miniscule games studio, Boylan hopes to build interest incrementally. "Eventually people will be talking about it because of the merit of the music and the art and game play," she said.

I just want to be near you.
I just want to press my forehead into yours
and brush my nose across your cheek.
I just want to feel your breath, and hear you say,
"One day we'll chase down our dreams, one by one."
When you look into my eyes,
all fear disappears from my mind.
When your fingers weave into mine,
all doubt scatters from my heart.
When your arms wrap around my shoulders,
all pain drifts from my soul.
Because when you're away from me,
the world feels too big in my mind.
When I can't touch you,
my troubles weigh heavy on my heart.
When I can't see your eyes,
I wonder of this could possibly be real.
There's too much riding on this silly mind of mine.
There is too much wrestling inside this heart.
There's too much joy inside my soul when you're with me
that makes the rest of my heartbeats feel so faint.
I just need to be near you.
I just need to hear you say,
"One day we'll chase down our dreams,
one by one."

Construction on the Main Street and Miramonte Boulevard Drainage Improvement Project. is expected to be substantially complete by September 2, 2022. Traffic is now able to move freely through the intersection.
Thank you for your patience throughout this project!
Work for this project includes regrading the intersection, adding storm inlets and storm sewer along both streets, and utility relocation. The cross pan and surrounding asphalt at this intersection require more frequent than average maintenance and replacement due to the continual flow of water that freezes and thaws in the crosspan after snow events. Additionally, during significant rain events, the intersection experiences heavy flows that exceed the capacity of the crosspan and gutters. The depth of water at the intersection and within the vehicular travel lane at the storm inlet due south of this intersection can make vehicular and pedestrian travel hazardous in these conditions.

As of 2013, approximately 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States, an all-time high for a nation historically built on immigration. The United States remains a popular destination attracting about 20 percent of the world’s international migrants, even as it represents less than 5 percent of the global population. Immigrants accounted for 13 percent of the total 316 million U.S. residents; adding the U.S.-born children (of all ages) of immigrants means that approximately 80 million people, or one-quarter of the overall U.S. population, is either of the first or second generation. (Zong, J., & Batalova, J., 2015)
Along with determining which populations are growing or shrinking, it’s important to understand why. Population growth is fueled by two factors: Natural increase and immigration. If births exceed deaths in a particular area, that area has a natural increase in population; if deaths exceed births, it has a natural decrease. Natural increases and decreases, in turn, are influenced by birth rates—the number of births per 1,000 people—and fertility rates—the number of births per 1,000 women between the ages of fifteen and forty-four.
If more people move into an area than away, the area has a net in-migration; if more move away from the area than into it, the area has a net out-migration. Migration can be internal (from one place to another within the United States) or international (into or out of the United States).
These components of change vary from place to place and population to population. Asian population growth, for example, is due primarily to immigration, as Asian families have low birth rates. Hispanic population growth is due to both immigration and natural increase.
Key demographic trends affecting public schools
We are growing older. In 2010, the median age in the United States had reached 37.2 years of age, up 1.9 years from the 2000 median age of 35.3 years.
We are growing more diverse. Trends in immigration and birth rates indicate that soon there will be no majority racial or ethnic group in the United States—no one group that makes up more than fifty percent of the total population. Already almost one in ten U.S. counties has a population that is more than fifty percent minority. Eight counties reached that status in 2006, bringing the total to 303 of the nation’s 3,141 counties.
We are growing older and more diverse at the same time. Non-Hispanic whites are the oldest; Hispanics are the youngest. Our youngest populations are the most diverse; forty-seven percent of children younger than five belong to a racial or ethnic minority group.
These trends mean:
-The population that schools educate is increasingly made up of children of color and Hispanic origin.
-The population that schools depend on for financial support is increasingly older, non-Hispanic, and white, and does not have school-age children.
-A multi-hued workforce will support the social safety nets that growing populations of elderly non-Hispanic whites depend on.
-Achievement gaps between student groups will have ever-more-serious economic implications. Minorities have historically been under-represented in such professions as science, medicine, and engineering. With the non-Hispanic white population shrinking and the entry-level workforce increasingly made up of minorities, the nation [faces] serious shortages in many critical professions. (n.d., 2012)
In multilingual societies like the United States, the languages people use in daily life is the outcome of a variety of choices and constraints. The author Gillian Stevens viewed the relative frequency with which members of minority language groups use English and their non-English language as the outcome of two sets of factors: (1) the pressures and incentives that encourage non-English language Americans to use English, and (2) the demographic context that constrains the range of opportunities for non-English language Americans to interact with others who can speak their non-English language. The results, based on data from a large national survey, show that both sets of factors strongly influence patterns of language use. Further analysis shows that the demographic context influences patterns of language use in part by affecting the probability that non-English language Americans have spouses with a facility in the same non-English language. (Stevens, 1992)
The ethnic, cultural, and linguistic makeup of this country has been changing steadily over the past few decades. Cultural diversity can result from many factors and influences including ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, socioeconomic levels, regionalisms, age-based peer groups, educational background, and mental/physical disability. With cultural diversity comes linguistic diversity, including an increase in the number of people who are English Language Learners, as well as those who speak nonmainstream dialects of English. In the United States, racial and ethnic projections for the years 2000–2015 indicate that the percentage of racial/ethnic minorities will increase to over 30% of the total population. The makeup of our school children will continue to diversify so that by 2010, children of immigrants will represent 22% of the school-age population (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000).

The avid dolphin lover, Hayden Panettiere hit the water for a fun filled shoot in the September 2011 issue of Condé Nast Traveler.
Set to hit newsstands on August 23rd, the former “Heroes” hottie grabbed a perch atop a boat’s rail while cruising alongside a pack of dolphins for the magazine’s Visionaries offering.
As for being selected to appear in the publication, Miss Panettiere is well known for her effort to save the world’s endangered whales and dolphins and it was no question as to whether or not she’d do this shoot.
Joining Hayden in the Condé Nast Traveler feature are fellow do-good celebs including
“Renée Zellweger and British talk-show host Mariella Frostrup, who fight poverty by empowering women across Africa; musician Harry Connick, Jr., who after Hurricane Katrina built the New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village, with 77 new homes; Liberian president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who as Africa’s first female head of state is giving stability and real economic prospects to her ravaged country; Twitter founders Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, who have demonstrated in a whole new way that information (even 140 characters’ worth) is power; and Egyptian novelist, political activist (and dentist) Alla Al Aswany, who helped turn the tide in the revolution that swept his country.”

@@@ Wet: Don’t You (Sony/Capitol, 2016). Also off last week’s All Music notable release email. Opens up fluffy with a macaroni and cheese synth and a lone female voice. Then it opens up to more voices, some chill and skittery drum machine action and more synths. More synths, hmmmmm. Ponging and cotton candy synth blankets. This is slotted as indie electronic but this is mainstream teen pop. Don’t call me a genre bitch. This has shopping mall rat written all over it. Woof. And as I leave this record you folks who make and market this shit should call it what it is and be proud of it. You’re halfway calling it a dirty diaper full of shit by slipping it in to some other genre. If you love cheesy pop shit be a man/woman and wave the flag.
@@@ Ty Segall: Ty Rex (Goner, 2015). Off this week’s CFUV playlist email and me thinks the Ty Rex is supposed to be some sort of homage to T Rex. Dirtier but catchier and mostly rock interested in this first song. A tad of modern day glam in the vocal melodies as well. The second tune continues the riffage filtered through a dirty psych lens. On the GoogleTube (ah the clip below) says something about reissue. I know Segall is an indie darling and he’s a busy indie darling as well but I don’t really have the desire to look up to see if this is a reissue of an earlier recording. Pretty tasty guitar work here as I type and it gets more and more retro as it unfolds.
@@@ Tedeschi Trucks Band: Let Me Get By (Concord, 2016). Some mainstream blues inflected rock off last week’s All Music notable releases of the week email. This first tune could come right off a ’90s Bonnie Raitt record. Smooth production, nice playing, and a lack of grit. The second tune Laugh About It has the same vibe but is more interesting with a shuffling dream beat and a short but memorable bass line. This record is aimed right at the heart of aging baby boomers who want to rock. It’s solid musicianship but it’s so polished smooth that I’m nodding off.
@@@ We Hunt Buffalo: Living Ghosts (New Damage, 2016). Some heavy music off this week’s CFUV weekly playlist email. Opens up epic and more than a bit stony in this first tune with a small repeating guitar figure doing its thing underneath a slow big shred. Oh there’s your head crush right there. More hard rock than metal. I’m thinking the singer is gonna be the big rock leather pants wearing kinda fella but he’s stiff offstage in this first tune which has switched over to some power chord action and big drum toms. There he is and as predicted. Oh, he’s losing his shit somewhat in the third tune and I likes it more. Still mostly an stoner, arena rock sort of affair but at least they got some tempo going here.

INDIANAPOLIS - Thousands of people gathered in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday to take part in the 25th annual Circle City Pride Festival.
The festival comes after a number of high-profile political battles this year over the definition of marriage.
Despite those conflicts, the festival and parade continue to grow by the year.
"The first [parade] lasted about 10 minutes from start to finish," said Pride Parade founder Gary Brackett. "It had a police car, a fire truck, and maybe one float and a couple of drag queens, of course."
Now, after more than a decade, the Cadillac Barbie Pride Parade has grown to feature 24 floats and 2,500 walkers.
Participant Dan Hardt says he thinks the growing crowd is indicative of increasing acceptance.
"When I first came out years ago, it was kind of iffy," Hardt said. "But now I don't even mention it, and people just assume it's OK."
However, a number of battles centered just blocks away at the statehouse over the last six months have made it clear that Indiana remains divided over the issue of same-sex marriage.
Earlier this week, gay marriage supporters formed a coalition to build support for their cause. Meanwhile, the Indiana Republican Party approved a platform supporting a definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.
The pride parade this year received support from employees of a handful of companies, including Cummins Inc. The company's vice president was a vocal opponent to a proposed constitutional ban against same-sex marriage that divided the statehouse earlier this year.
"[We're here] supporting the Indianapolis community, the LBGT community, and supporting our employees and potential employees too," said Cummins' Rich Whitney.
While it seems likely gay marriage will continue to be a major political issue in Indiana, those in Saturday's parade hope their celebration leads to what they believe are equal rights for all.
In the meantime, the Circle City Pride Festival raises money for Indy Pride Inc.'s cause and various community organizations.

The Jesuit novitiate for the provinces of Wisconsin, Detroit and Chicago is returning to its former address in St. Paul, at 1035 Summit Ave., next to St. Thomas More parish.
The site became the home for the Wisconsin province Jesuit novitiate in 1982. Previously, it was located on Finn Street, near the University of St. Thomas. Around 1995, it became a tri-province novitiate, serving the provinces of Wisconsin, Missouri and English-Canada.
Last year, the Wisconsin Province novitiate joined with the provinces of Detroit and Chicago for a new tri-provincial arrangement, and the novitiate house moved to Berkley, Mich. In August, it will move back to St. Paul, said Jesuit Father Luis Rodriguez, assistant provincial for the Wisconsin Province.
The provinces of Wisconsin, Detroit and Chicago currently have 21 novices. The novitiate is two years. The move will take place after novices currently in their second year take vows Aug. 15 and before the new novices enter, Father Rodriguez said. Catholic Spirit

What a wonderful, genderqueer world!
When I was younger, I thought bisexuality was a party trick. I thought it was something that teenage girls used to get attention. Since I've stopped being a teenage girl, I've learned that there are more than just the three oversimplified dimensions -- gay, straight and bi -- of sexuality. But that's why youth is for the young. I should have known that when I was labeled "lesbian" (a negative connotation I never understood) by my peers on my first day of high school, it wasn't just those ignorant meanies who didn't understand sexuality (or gender, for that matter): I didn't understand it, either.
Val Franz JD Samson's joke is on you, Davies.
With PrideFest 2012 just around the corner, I wanted to share a small amount of the information I've gleaned over the past decade and a half about sex, sexuality, gender, culture and a whole lot more that I'm still wrapping my head around. And it begins with an apology.
Last December, I wrote a Breeality Bites piece called "Hey, hot Tranny: Where'd you get that sparkly tank top?" Whoa. Back up. Read that headline again. I, the proud ally who spends a good amount of space and time speaking to (and sometimes, I think, for) the people of the GLBTQ community, used a transphobic slur? What an asshole.
Like a lot of seemingly socially acceptable and harmful ignorance, that column was based on a joke between some friends -- you know, my friends who are gay, so I thought it was appropriate. It wasn't. Just because Amy Poehler -- a woman I consider to be an upstanding female citizen -- dressed up like Christian Siriano and wandered around on SNL dropping "tranny," that didn't make it funny, or less demeaning. A very kind and assertive acquaintance who identifies as trans called me out -- hard. I had no idea how detrimental that joke was, just by it existing. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Or at least hope that the story was magically deleted from the Internet.
But when you choose to reveal everything about yourself for readers to see, sometimes you mess up.
I was born in 1980. I grew up in a pre-Internet, pre-Glee world, a world where "transvestite" was an umbrella term for not-straights, every "gay"-identified person on television had a lisp and a poodle, and George Michael's kicking down of the closet door was still surprising (and demonizing) to some, even as he trumpeted his coming out to the world.
I also grew up in a very accepting, open household that taught me to understand the dangers of people like Anita Bryant, Fred Phelps and the other "god hates fags"-style toxic rhetoric spewers. I watched Ryan White dispel myths about HIV and AIDS, Pedro Zamora use MTV as its once-intended political platform, and I hung out in Cheesman Park in high school because it was the "cool place" to go. I fell in love with Keith Haring's art, John Waters's movies and RuPaul's Supermodel of the World in its entirety. But that doesn't mean I know everything. Or anything at all, for that matter.

Ireland West Airport - commonly known as Knock Airport - handled a record 750,000 passengers last year, beating its previous record, set in 2016, when it handled 734,000.
The 2pc increase in passenger numbers last year at the airport came as it experienced an uplift in the amount of traffic to the UK.
Aer Lingus recorded the highest number of passengers using its Ireland West Airport-Gatwick service last year since it was launched in 2009.
Flybe, the UK regional carrier, also saw record passenger numbers on its services to Birmingham and Edinburgh from the Irish airport.
Services to mainland Europe saw more than 100,000 passengers use services to destinations including Lanzarote, Malaga, Tenerife and Alicante.
Last week, major European tour operator TUI said it was adding Majorca to its destinations from Knock for the coming summer.
Flybe is adding 16,000 seats on its services to Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester in 2018, and Ryanair has increased capacity on its Milan service by 35pc, adding an additional 3,500 seats for summer 2018.
Ireland West Airport managing director Joe Gilmore welcomed the latest passenger statistics.
Mr Gilmore insisted the numbers were good news for the regional economy, for tourism, and job creation.
Last year saw the airport start work on a €15m investment plan to upgrade its facilities over the next three years.
That will see new passenger facilities, terminal upgrades and other infrastructure works undertaken, including work on the airport's runway.
By the end of the first quarter of this year, almost €4m worth of major infrastructure upgrades will have been completed.
Last month, Ireland West Airport was awarded Exchequer funding of just under €1.9m under the so-called public policy operational expenditure subvention scheme.
That scheme provides Exchequer funding to contribute towards costs associated with the upgrade and maintenance of air traffic control facilities, as well as fire and safety and security functions at the airport.

ROMANCE, THE ART OF MOSAICS, AND BETRAYAL
In MURDER in MOSAIC, before entrenching into a new life in Florida, Amanda Straton takes time to visit her parents in Washington, D.C. and visit a friend in Ravenna, Italy to study mosaics. Unprepared she again faces the dark force that pursued her in her youth. Evil returns with vengeance. At the end, the ultimate question remains, who will pay evil's demands?
In this latest installment from noted storyteller and traveller F. R. Merrill, readers are drawn into the intricacies of a literary landscape overlaid with the simple elements of art, beauty, love, betrayal, murder, and revenge. At center stage is Dr. Ivan Harris, the man convicted of kidnapping Amanda Straton and killing her father. Incarcerated for thirteen years, an early release ignites his revenge. While Amanda pursues a new business venture in the Southeast, a suitor with his own vendetta against Harris quickly enters the picture. From NYC to coastal Florida, Washington D.C. and old world Italy, Merrill structures a well-paced narrative that keeps characters and readers on edge.
First time Merrill readers are easily brought up to speed with the events of earlier books pertaining to Harris' evils. Whether a hike on the Camino trail or a study of mosaics at the renowned Luciana Notturni School, these adventures are creatively incorporated as a temporary respite for Harris' victims. Intricate planning, manipulations, disguises, and severed tongues stored in a basement help unveil the sinister mind of this Hannibal Lechter-type character.
In fine contrast, Merrill has mastered the art of weaving beauty and the history of place into her writing. In the nation's capital, the author pays homage to her Native American heritage via characters, details, and a cultural stage performance. With an artist's eye, she brings characters and readers the experience of new surroundings, yet holds our awareness of impending danger. From the solemn Holocaust museum that evokes jarring memories, to the awe inspiring Galla Placida mausoleum with its domed star mosaic, these authentic settings bring this fictional tale to life.
The joy of reading an author's sequential work is often found in the connection to an enticing storyline and in catching up with memorable characters, whether good or bad. In Murder in Mosaic, Merrill artfully delivers on both levels.
Silver Fox and Coyote color flowers and birds in separate parts of the world. One day they meet, become friends and color together. Then one day they get into an argument and their growling frightens children playing nearby. To make the children happy again, Silver Fox and Coyote color moths bright colors and make butterflies.

The Wind Cries
BUDDHA, CHRIST, and the EAGLE (Finding Happiness)
By Dr. Frances Rinaldi
They used to tell stories about Shangri-La, a land of
peace and prosperity hidden in the heights of the Himalayas. In the adventure
that lies ahead, Janet Locke doesn?t find the mythical city, but she does find
a new, joyous existence up on the roof of the world.
It starts with phone call. An old friend wants to know if
Janet wants to join her on a bicycling trip through Bhutan. Janet knows
absolutely nothing about the small, central-Asian country. When she looks it up
on the Internet, she learns that its gross national product is happiness. Janet, frustrated with life?s
challenging moments, decides that this sounds delightful.
Dr. Rinaldi based her work, Buddha, Christ and the Eagle on her own adventures while bicycling in the Himalayan Mountains of Bhutan. She is an award-winning author, storyteller, and health coach. She has written a collection of short stories called Night Walk, a children?s book, How Silver Fox and Coyote Came to Color the Butterfly. Under the penname F.R. Merrill, she wrote The Final Act, Crossroads, and Murder in Mosaic, a set of suspense thrillers known as the Straton Trilogy. Crossroads was a prizewinner in the Southwestern Book Festival, and Murder in Mosaic won in the Amsterdam Book Festival.

Off The Grid
In an editorial about the need to expand renewable energy resources, despite the limitations inherent in some technologies, the science journal Nature gets part of the point:
Giant wind farms are something of an exception in the renewable-energy picture, as they resemble the traditional model of big, centralized coal, gas or nuclear power plants feeding bulk-distribution networks. Looked at more broadly, renewables point to a future in which the power grid could be far less centralized than it is today, with a much greater reliance on local power sources such as rooftop solar panels. This could make the electricity grid more efficient, as less power would be lost in long-distance transmission.
Nature then goes on to discuss the need to improve the grid, which is also necessary, and which decentralization would help:
Such a grid would benefit from better electricity storage — in the form of large-scale batteries, say — to smooth out drops in wind or cloudy days. And it would certainly have to be smarter than it is today. To manage this decentralized proliferation of sources and users, the grid would have to be liberally studded with microprocessors that can take actions on their own, without humans pressing any buttons or picking up any phones.
Public and private programmes to achieve these goals will probably generate many new, highly skilled 'clean-tech' and 'green collar' jobs. Both candidates for the US presidency have talked about investing in the grid, and Democrat Barack Obama has specifically promised to spend $150 billion to create 5 million green jobs if elected. Meanwhile, countries such as Germany, Denmark, Britain and Australia are already showing that green jobs can buoy their economies.
But decentralization, itself, is an issue that should be defined and highlighted by a candidate with a vision to the future. It could have great political appeal. In addition to being environmentally and economically sound, it gets to the heart of libertarian ideals. Get people off the grids, altogether. Help them stop having to depend on and pay monthly dues to large corporations that truly serve but their own self-interests. Decentralization should be one of the defining issues of any serious political campaign.

Spine surgery is traditionally done as open surgery, meaning the area being operated on is opened with a long 5-6 inch incision and the muscle is moved to the side, allowing the doctor to view and access the exposed spine. In recent years, however, technological advances have allowed surgeons to treat some common back and neck conditions with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Minimally invasive spine surgery eliminates the use of a long incision. These procedures are done using specialized instruments to access the spine through several small incisions. This type of surgical procedure is usually performed using thin-needles and an endoscope to visually guide the surgeon. Minimally invasive techniques reduce the trauma to the muscles, tendons, and other normal structures of the spine during surgery, allowing for better postoperative results. The goal of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce postoperative pain and blood loss, speed recovery, and lessen scarring.
Recovery: Minimally invasive procedures can shorten hospital stays. The exact length of time needed in the hospital will vary with each patient and individual procedure, but generally, MISS patients go home in 2 to 3 days.

Food safety is a given, when a consumer purchases food they expect it to be safe and fit to eat. The responsibility for ensuring food is safe to eat rests with the farmer (sometimes called the primary producer), the manufacturer or processor (if the food is prepared in a factory), the distributor and wholesaler (the people responsible for transfering the food from the manufacturer to the shop or to the door in the case of direct sales or mail order), the retailer and the consumer themselves.

Summary: Personal Experience Absolutely fantastic picture! I've had this unit for about 3 weeks now, and it's still just as amazing. Out of the box the picture was OK, but just a few adjustments (which were easy to perform) and it was incredible.
Summary: Personal Experience I had the VW100 Ruby and then the VW60 Black Pearl recently and this past Friday (11-30-07) mounted the VW200 Diamond in my theater. I loved the Black Pearl's POP but did miss the color richness of the VW100. With the VW200 I get the best of both worlds!

The text below is from a press release from Printed Matter (New York) for an exhibition of Lavater's works that runs from April 23rd, through May 28, 2011.
"Printed Matter is pleased to announce the opening of Warja Lavater: Bookworks 1951-1991 from the Estate of Tony Zwicker, an exhibition of work by the Swiss artist and illustrator. The show brings together over 50 items on loan from the collection of Tony Zwicker—a longtime patron, collector and friend of Lavater—and represents an appreciable portion of the artist’s output over the course of a prolific career. The broad selection of material includes rare and small-run artists’ books, as well as original drawings, posters, prototypes and related ephemera. The exhibition runs Saturday, April 23rd, through May 28, 2011, at the Printed Matter storefront.
Well known for her leporellos—extravagant accordion-fold books—Lavater created a wonderfully imaginative body of work that moves fluently through materials and mediums. Done in ink, watercolor, dry point, lithography, linoleum-block printing and with blind embossing, many of her book-sculptures are double-sided and uniquely shaped, sometimes featuring unconventional material like burlap and plastic baubles. Several of the works have been created on paper hand-made and hand-dyed by the artist.
Exploring the fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault and Hans Christian Andersen, Lavater produced a series of books that abstract and distill the original story into movements of color and form. Characters and objects are translated into dynamic symbols (a legend on the first page of each book lays out the equivalencies—Little Red Riding Hood is, for instance, a little red dot) and the familiar story emerges through her arrangement and repetition of these shapes. The result is a playful Structuralist reading into representation and the nature of storytelling— a Borgesian map as rich and strange as the world it describes.
This collection of rare and original works, exclusively from the estate of Tony Zwicker, is being made available for purchase as a single offering. A limited number of individual items are also available. Please consult the website or email@example.com if you would like to see a checklist or receive additional information on the material."
Warja Lavater (September 28th, 1913 – May 3rd, 2007) was born in Winterthur, Switzerland. She worked as an artist and illustrator noted primarily for her work in the artists’ books genre, creating accordion fold books, book sculptures, and miniature books in a range of materials. Lavater opened her own studio for applied design in Zurich in 1937. Her early works were published by the Museum of Modern Art, as well as the Paris-based publisher Adrien Maeght.

A lot of creatures sing to mark their territory—birds, wolves, howler monkeys. But you can now add mice to that list.
According to a new study in The American Naturalist, two species of mice living in Costa Rica make cute little chirping calls that tell other males to stay away, and advertise their location to females. This is what they sound like.
But, as Elizabeth Preston notes, the two species (Alston’s singing mice and Ciriqui singing mice) don’t hang out and sing karaoke together. In fact, they’re quite strictly divided by altitude. But researchers wanted to know whether that division was based on food requirements, or simply behavior. Researchers investigated this question by luring rival mice with peanut butter and oats and seeing who was behaviorally dominant and how each reacted to the other’s songs. Preston explains what they found:
Pasch concluded that the higher-altitude mice aren’t intimidated by their neighbors, but are restricted to the mountaintops by temperature. The lower-altitude mice, wary of encounters with their larger and more aggressive upstairs neighbors, stay away whenever they hear that mouse’s song. When Pasch removed all the Chiriquí mice from certain boundary-zone areas (by trapping them and then carrying them across a river), he saw that Alston’s mice quickly moved into the vacant territory.
In other words, it’s not that the two species have to live at different altitudes for a specific biological reason, but they stay separated because the Chiriqui mice and dominant and remind the Alston mouse of that fact through their songs.

St Helens, the holders, will have Great Britain back rowers Lee Gilmour and Jon Wilkin back for their Wembley push as they take on Bradford in Saturday’s Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-final.
Gilmour, who rested a knee injury, and Wilkin, who was suspended, both missed last Friday’s Super League derby against Wigan but will return for this weekend’s game against Bradford at Huddersfield.
One of them will take the place of new Australian signing Chris Flannery, who made his debut in the 19-12 win over Wigan but is ineligible for the Cup.
Saints are also boosted by the successful comeback of scrum-half Sean Long, who was man of the match in last year’s final victory over Huddersfield at Twickenham.

Kingston's Rockit Boutique is hosting a meet and greet with legendary Detroit rapper Royce da 5'9" on Saturday, March 3rd. Royce has a long list of hip-hop credentials, including his close association with Eminem, recording with the likes of DJ Premier and even ghostwriting for Diddy and Dr. Dre. His relationship with fellow Detroit legend Eminem started back in 1997 when they were introduced to each other at a show and then quickly became a musical duo by the name of Bad Meets Evil. Royce and Eminem recorded a few hit tracks but later split ways in pursuit of solo careers. Royce went on to see success with each album that he debuted, including "Death Is Certain", "Street Hop", and "Success Is Certain", just to name a few. 2009 saw Royce collaborate with Joe Budden, Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz on a track called "Slaughterhouse", which garnered a lot of hype and led to all three of these artists forming a super group, titled with the same name as their hit track. Later that year they released a full album featuring production from the likes of The Alchemist and DJ Khalil. This brought even more acclaim to their group and they eventually were signed to Shady Records in early 2011. This proved to be an even bigger year for Royce as he also reunited with Eminem to form Bad Meets Evil once again. In June 2011, the two released "Hell: The Sequel". From that album came the massive, worldwide hit single, "Lighters" featuring Bruno Mars. Bad Meets Evil are rumoured to be releasing a LP in 2013, as Eminem has decided to first release his next solo album. Be sure to make your way down to Rockit Boutique at 5:00pm sharp, where you can get the chance to see Royce da 5'9" in person, answering questions, taking pictures, and signing autographs.

New Year is a holiday that leaves no one indifferent. All having fun, children, adults and the elderly, because they each expect miracles in this fabulous night.
Long before people purchase holiday gifts, and hostess are trying to buy delicacies to, prepare from them delicious dishes to please their households and guests.
Usually on a festive table is prepared a lot of different salads, meat and fish dishes, but despite the fact that going to a lot of people eat this amount of food in one night is not possible. On the one hand it is good, because the next day will not have to stand at the stove again, enough to heat the rest of the products, however, the statistics show that it is during the holidays poisonings occur more frequently.
This is explained by the fact that for the preparation of dishes using a variety of sauces, which can be consumed within a few hours after cooking, since then they appear harmful bacteria. The same applies to sausages and slicing of which is a long time in a warm room, not to mention the desserts, such as cake or cookies, because the cream present in these products have a limited shelf life.Source: www.goodshelp.com
