Automeris io, the Io moth () or peacock moth, is a colorful North American moth in the family Saturniidae. The io moth is also a member of the subfamily Hemileucinae. The name Io comes from Greek mythology in which Io was a mortal lover of Zeus. The Io moth ranges from the southeast corner of Manitoba and in the southern extremes of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada, and in the US it is found from Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, east of those states and down to the southern end of Florida. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.

Adult description

Imagines (sexually mature, reproductive stage) have a wingspan of 2.5–3.5 inches (63–88 mm). This species is sexually dimorphic: males have bright yellow forewings, body, and legs, while females have reddish-brown to purple forewings, body, and legs. The males also have much bigger plumose (feathery) antennae than the females. Both males and females have one big black to bluish eyespot with some white in the center, on each hindwing. Some hybridizations have resulted in variations in these hindwing eyespots. Adults live 1–2 weeks.

Parasitoids
Many species of flies (Tachinidae) and wasps (Ichneumonidae and Braconidae) are known parasitoids. The flies include the introduced Compsilura concinnata, Lespesia sabroskyi Chetogena claripennis, Carcelia formosa, Sisyropa eudryae, Lespesia frenchii, and Nilea dimmocki. The wasps include the Ichneumonidae species Hyposoter fugitivus and Enicospilus americanus  and the Braconidae species Cotesia electrae and Cotesia hemileucae.

Predators
Io moths have many predators. These include birds, small mammals, and spiders.

Defenses
Stinging spines of caterpillar Io moths have a very painful venom that is released with the slightest touch; a condition known as . There are two hypotheses regarding where this venom originates: (1) the glandular cells on the base of the branched seta or (2) from the secretory epithelial cells. Contacting the seta is not life-threatening for humans, but still causes irritation to the dermal tissue, thought to result in a stinging sensation.
Both male and female adult io moths utilize their hindwing eyespots in predatory defense when the moth is sitting in the head-down position or is touched, via shaking and exposing these eyespots.

Life cycle
Females lay small, white ova in the leaves of host plants, including:

 Morus  alba-mulberry

 Prunus pensylvanica—pin cherry
 Salix—willow
 Abies balsamea—balsam fir
 Acer rubrum—red maple
 Amorpha fruticosa—bastard indigo
 Baptisia tinctoria—wild indigo
 Carpinus caroliniana—American hornbeam
 Celtis laevigata—sugarberry or southern hackberry
 Cephalanthus occidentalis—button-bush
 Cercis canadensis—eastern redbud
 Chamaecrista fasciculata—showy partridge pea
 Comptonia peregrina—sweetfern
 Cornus florida—flowering dogwood
 Corylus avellana—common hazel
 Erythrina herbacea, coral bean
 Fagus—beech
 Fraxinus—ash
 Liquidambar styraciflua—American sweetgum
 Lythrum salicaria, introduced Purple Loosestrife
 Quercus—oak
 Paeonia—peony
 Phoenix roebelenii

The eggs have large micropyle rosettes that turn black as the fertile eggs develop. They are usually laid in clusters of more than twenty and hatch within 8–11 days. From the eggs, orange larvae emerge, usually eating their egg shell soon after hatching. They go through five instars, each one being a little different.
The caterpillars are herbivorous and gregarious in all their instars, many times traveling in single file processions all over the food plant. As the larvae develop, they will lose their orange color and will turn bright green and urticating, having many spines. The green caterpillars have two lateral stripes, the upper one being bright red and the lower one being white. These caterpillars can reach sizes of 7 cm in length. When the caterpillars are ready, they spin a flimsy, valveless cocoon made from a dark, coarse silk. Some larvae will crawl to the base of the tree and make their cocoons among leaf litter on the ground, while others will use living leaves to wrap their cocoons with. The leaves will turn brown and fall to the ground during fall, taking the cocoons with them. There they pupate, the pupa being dark brown/black. The pupae also have sexual dimorphism with the females being considerably larger than the males.

Adult io moths normally emerge from their cocoons in late morning or early afternoon. The emergence of the adults moths is typically from June to July. Eclosion (emergence from the cocoon) only takes a few minutes. After eclosing, the moths climb and hang on plants so that their furled wings can be inflated with fluid (hemolymph) pumped from the body. This inflation process takes about twenty minutes.
Adult moths are strictly nocturnal, generally flying during the peak hours of the night. The females generally wait until nightfall and then extend a scent gland from the posterior region of the abdomen, in order to attract males via wind-borne pheromones. The males use their larger antennae to detect the pheromones. After mating, the females die following egg laying. These moths have vestigial mouthparts and do not eat in the adult stage.

Conservation Status
The io moth is currently not listed on the IUCN Red List or the US Federal List. In the eastern range of the US, the populations indicate a declining and more localized trend.

Troy PD officer cleared after deadly off-duty shooting in July
by: Mikhaela Singleton
TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — A grand jury just cleared a Troy Police officer of any wrong-doing in a deadly shooting more than a month ago. District Attorney Mary Pat Donnelly says the extended investigation was worth the wait.
"We needed to take our time and make sure that all of the evidence was gathered, all of the witnesses were spoken with, and make sure that we were in a good place before we decided to put this in front of a grand jury," Donnelly says.
Back on July 30, off duty Patrol Officer Adam Harbour reported he heard a commotion from his neighbors and when he went to investigate, he found 25-year-old Colin Davis stabbing his estranged wife.
"It appeared based upon witness accounts that he was going to leverage his body to stab the knife into her chest, and it was at that point that Officer Harbour fired a single shot into his back," Donnelly explains.
She further confirms Harbour used his own personal shotgun in the shooting. Police Chief Brian Owens says Harbour acted to save the woman's life, but also had reason to believe he was protecting himself.
"Any incidents where there's already violence, whether it's a domestic situation or otherwise, that can be redirected at responding officers," he says.
Donnelly says the attorney general was called to investigate, as New York State law requires when officers cause the deaths of civilians, but their involvement soon ended.
"After the attorney general's office concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to pursue this matter, my office retain jurisdiction of that investigation," she explains.
Chief Owens also spoke to acknowledge the pain of Davis' death for his family, the emotional and physical scars left on his wife, and the mental toll of his actions on Officer Harbour.
"There's not a single police officer who I know that would ever want to take another life. The role of law enforcement in our society, the duties required of our positions, and the actions of violent criminals may dictate situations where we must act to defend our own life and that of another," he says.
Donnelly says Davis' wife is still recovering from the injuries he inflicted upon her before his death and Donnelly says there is hope that that woman will make a full recovery.

Sorry to say but it really is the last place you want to visit. In some ways even worse then the trip we had to China a couple months ago.
The train ride was not as epic as last years' and we arrived safely in Busteni without having to share Dutch cheese with the conductor a criminal and a nazi and a walk over the rails to get into the Busteni train station.
We're lucky being here. The French are on strike meaning most of the flights are canceled and next to that theres so much snow on the railway and the roads that even if you arrive to Romania it's still hard to get to Busteni.
The program is a bit different then we're used to. Women climb the qualifiers and the semi's on the same day and the finals on the next day. You can find the whole program here.
Secondhand Dutch clothes are being sold in Romania in shops like "First class European"

During July 2008, standard serum analyses revealed hyperkalemia in all deer sampled. In March, the effect of processing time as a possible source of the hyperkalemia was investigated. For a subset of deer (n=10), blood tubes were centrifuged and processed at four time points (0, 30, 60, and 120 min) postcollection. Delayed centrifugation and plasma separation did not affect potassium (K ) concentration over time, indicating that a shift in intracellular K did not occur and the hyperkalemia was not due to improper sample handling. Potassium levels were negatively correlated with age and varied across collection periods. Also, K levels were positively correlated with glucose and not correlated with creatine kinase (CK). No single variable indicated a strong enough relationship to explain the hyperkalemia in the study.

High blood pressure: Number of Britons suffering falls by HALF in 40 years
HEALTHY living has seen the number of Britons suffering high blood pressure fall by half in 40 years, new research has revealed.
By Giles Sheldrick and Olivia Lerche

Number of Britons suffering high blood pressure falls by half in 40 years
The rate has tumbled as good diet and anti-smoking messages have finally hit home.
Figures published today show the UK has one of the best rates in the developed world.
Last year nearly one in five men and one in eight women had their lives blighted by the condition. In 1975, the figures were one in three and one in four respectively.

High blood pressure is no longer related to affluence but is now a major health issue linked with poverty
Majid Ezzati - Professor
And British women now rank seventh best in the world, up from 105th.
Experts said improved dietary awareness and the realisation that drinking and smoking can prove fatal were behind the dramatic fall.
The largest study of its kind was led by scientists at Imperial College in London.
It found high blood pressure had more than doubled over the period to 1.13bn people, more than one in seven in the world.

Medical conditions caused by high blood pressure
Wed, September 7, 2016
There are several life threatening medical conditions and diseases caused by high blood pressure. Often they do not have any symptoms so it is a good idea to regularly check your blood pressure and keep it under control.
Diseases caused by high blood pressure
The condition has plummeted in high income countries, but risen in many low and middle income nations.
Professor Majid Ezzati, who led the study, said: "High blood pressure is no longer related to affluence - as it was in 1975 - but is now a major health issue linked with poverty."
Scientists behind the research think the dramatic fall could be partly explained by increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Julie Ward, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "These statistics are shocking.
"There are 16million people living with high blood pressure in the UK alone but it's clear this is a global problem that is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes around the world.
"These findings remind us that people living in deprived areas are at a much greater risk of having high blood pressure.
In 1975, the figures were one in three and one in four respectively
"We remain greatly concerned that almost half of all people with high blood pressure in the UK are unaware of their condition and remain undiagnosed.
"These people are at major risk of a sudden heart attack or stroke but are unlikely to be taking any action to reduce that deadly risk."The research, published in The Lancet, also revealed men had higher blood pressure than women in most countries in 2015.
Globally, 597million men had raised blood pressure, compared to 529million women.
Britain had the lowest proportion of people with high blood pressure in Europe last year. Globally, South Korea, America, Canada, Peru, and Singapore are also the best-performing countries.
The five countries with the highest proportion of men with high blood pressure were Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, and Slovenia.
Nearly two in five men in these countries had high blood pressure. High blood pressure puts extra strain on the blood vessels and major organs such as heart, brain and kidneys.

It is the world's leading cause of cardiovascular disease, which leads to stroke and heart attacks.Blood pressure is defined by two numbers - systolic, which represents the force your heart pumps blood into the blood vessels, and diastolic, which is a measure of the resistance to the blood flow in the body's blood vessels.
Both numbers are measured in millimetres of mercury.
High blood pressure is defined as 140/90 mmHg or higher.Average blood pressure for men in the UK in 2015 was 126/72, compared to 1975 when it was 130/78.
Women's was 117/71 in 2015 down from 124/77 40 years ago.Separate research from the University of Glasgow shows people who suffer cardiometabolic diseases - such as high blood pressure, diabetes or coronary heart disease - perform worse in mental tests and reaction time.
Having more than one of these conditions has an even greater effect.
The study, published in the European Heart Journal, and led by researchers from the University's Institute of Health and Wellbeing, suggests preventing or delaying cardiovascular disease or diabetes may delay cognitive decline and possible dementia.

In front of Don Greer's home on King Crescent in Saskatoon's City Park neighbourhood, you'll notice something a bit unusual.
Standing roughly 22 feet tall – a massive ice sculpture.
"Built with a one-by-two wood armature – with a chicken wire mesh that's applied over that and then you begin to spray with a fine mist of water from a garden hose," Greer said.
It's a hobby he's held for the last four decades, crafting more than 35 sculptures over the years.
This particular project has been several years in the making.
Don Greer stands in front of his ice castle.
"I have three granddaughters – six, eight, 10 – and I built it for them," Greer said.
It took Greer more than 60 hours and almost all of December before it was complete, relying on some co-operation from the weather.
According to Greer, his favourite thing about the sculpture is its ability to turn heads.
"I've had delivery guys stop and take pictures," he said.
Don Greer's ice castle is designed after the one from Disney's 'Frozen'.
President of the City Park Community Association, Colleen Steele, said it's great to have creative people in the neighbourhood.
"It's wonderful to be out for a walk in City Park and stumble upon a giant castle in someone's front yard," Steele said.
This was Greer's biggest project until recently when he was commissioned to create the castle for the Wintershines Festival.
For now, Elsa's castle will continue to bring a bit of magic to the neighbourhood until Mother Nature takes it down.

I did a fast soak…boiled for 5 minutes then let them sit for an hour. Half of the chickpeas went into the food processor for the falafel. The other half went into the pressure cooker to become hummus. (Cooked at high pressure for 15 minutes, then quick-release of pressure.) I usually DO cook dried chickpeas when I make hummus. It's less expensive and I don't have to worry about the BPA in the cans. In the pressure cooker, it takes about an hour to bring the pressure up, cook at high pressure for 40 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally. If I'm in a hurry though, I'll use canned. It's still cheaper to use canned than buy prepared hummus.
While the rest of the chickpeas were cooking I made the "cakes" using Mark Bittman's Baked Falafel recipe. I didn't have fresh parsley or cilantro, so I used some dried. (The were definitely missing the nice green color and some of the flavor.) Instead of making them into patties..
I pureed this until smooth, adding a little water at a time to achieve the right consistency, which I kept a little thicker than usual so I could pipe it like icing.
These will not be going to work. I'm sure no one there is all that disappointed. The falafel was a little dry on it's own, perhaps because of the missing fresh herbs for moisture or due to over cooking. With the tahini sauce, they were fine. It was a nice addition to our frequent dinner of hummus and vegetables.

Shin Yu Pai (Non-Fiction, Poetry) | Seattle, WA

Shin Yu Pai is a 2014 Stranger Genius Award nominee and the author of eight books of poetry. Her work has appeared in publications throughout the U.S., Japan, China, Taiwan, The United Kingdom, and Canada. Poems have been commissioned by the Dallas Museum of Art twice and her work is also featured in the Poetry-in-Motion Program sponsored by DART. She has been a featured presenter at national and international literary festivals including the Geraldine Dodge Poetry Festival and the Montreal Zen Poetry Festival.

Shin Yu Pai's new collection of poems, AUX ARCS, is rooted in the Ozarks but makes arches and connections across the globe. In taut, luminous lines, she explores cross-cultural tensions and digs ever deeper to claim 'the warmth of metaphoric stone hollowed out from the body's beryl.'
—Arthur Sze
In poems both brilliant and spacious, Shin Yu Pai creates a language to inhabit the in-between places of the world and imagination. An apple might be the spoils of urban foraging or a childhood memory—a persimmon might be a domestic failure or an expression of enlightenment. As large as international politics, as small as the death of a cat, these poems work the metaphoric connection at the root of poetry.
—Miriam Sagan
A good tour guide is one who is curious about her surroundings, enjoying as much the learning about new things as she does sharing the information with others. Thus we find the perfect guide in Shin Yu Pai, who maps a centuries-long tour, in AUX ARCS, of China, Chile, South Africa and other locations through a residency in the United States' Deep South. From Arkansas and Texas, the poet shines a global light on the geographic monoliths of the natural world and the manmade marvels of architecture and visual art, just as she illuminates humanity's interior motivations and misconceptions of the "other." As temporary voyeurs, readers follow Pai's keen eye and ear through a structure wide in arc but sharp in focus. Aux Arcs is a book you'll want to visit, like the best museums, again and again, letting the ideas and images of prior reads inform and enhance your future tours.
—Chip Livingston
The heart of these poems broke open even before this poet was born. Shin Yu Pai has maintained a practice to keep it this way, so that she and all of us might live in that open, compassionate field with neither boundary nor end. How wise of her to know that what is adamantine is the open heart. Fearless seeing, ancient mutterings on contemporary pathways and boulevards, inventive poetics, merciless memories and tender, knowing hands all take their proper place here, where she finds "every event a mirror / of mind & heart." Her eyes will help you open what you've held onto too tightly, too long, and her heart will open the rest of you from the first word to the last.
—Peter Levitt
The freshness, luster, and charm of these poems derive not only from a superb and seemingly easeful craftsmanship, but indelibly from a generous infusion of the poet's good heart.
—Mike O'Connor
Shin Yu Pai's new collection Adamantine bristles with taut, startling language that continues to yield surprises even after readers realize that they are at serious play within the fields of the human heart, a realm in which "we must know when to give in." Diverse personae inhabit these poems, rendering insight into their traumas, sacrifices, and psychic pathos: from the 'ruined man in a wheelchair' strapped in place on a city bus; to the Chinese migrant worker who suffered a brain hemorrhage that left her comatose, and who was almost cremated alive because her family couldn't afford her hospital care; to the Vietnamese Buddhist monk immolating himself in protest at Indochinese oppression, 'his heart refusing to burn'–this line repeated thrice like a mantra or prayer. This is poetry of compassion and clarity that "sees past the icon" as the poet makes a journey to China to explore her own ambivalence toward 'traditions that constitute / a personal inheritance.' These poems, 'incised with oracle / markings' whose urgency is heightened in the poet's ancestral legacy, both 'crush illusion' and take 'the Buddha back to his origins.' Reading these poems, we are gratified that the poet has 'come / to make this offering' of language to us.
—Carolyne Wright
Shin Yu Pai's imagination is like a fine pottery bowl, delicately shaped but capable of holding many things: playfulness, candor, descriptive elegance. She is working out her own welcome blend of cultures, Eastern and Western, and Equivalence is the lovely and often challenging result.
—Rosellen Brown
What fascinates me most about Shin Yu Pai's work is the sense that, while it is informed by various genres and various histories, what we encounter here is new, even "tentative" in the very old sense: that is, in the sense of being "an attempt," but also "tempting." There is an element of the daring in this work which gives a paradoxical authority to its language: a combination of humility, subtlety, and risk.
—Bin Ramke

Can we get some new/better source pictures.... these plane pictures are getting F'n OLD!!!
All you have to do is submit some of your own that you like.
Well then, don't complain about mine.
I'll start photographing my thumb.
Am I the only one that sees it as a sign of the times? The site is not as popular as it used to be, you know that and as much as I wish it was, I'm happy that someone (Al being a major player here) is still contributing to keep the sources coming . .
Thanks man. It breaks my heart that this site has fallen on such hard times. This is where I learned Photoshop. This is where I made many friends, not just online, although I love you guys too, but real world friends that we have partied with face to face. This is where I laughed so hard coffee shot out my nose. This is where I lost more sleep and pulled out more hair trying to finish a chop than I really like to remember. This is where anytime I talk to someone about Photoshop I recommend they come to and learn.This place was a seminal point in my life. I have played on other sites but I always come back here, to this place. To these few who are still left here. To the memories and the laughter and the warm fuzzies and the assholes that pissed us off. This place is still home.

A decade-long price war between big supermarkets could be at an end with Coles raising the cost for its roast chooks.
Back in 2016, Coles slashed the price from $11 to $8, so what happens now?

Note: Psalm 95 appears infrequently in the Lectionary (Lent and November in Year A). This post updates the rather scant coverage of a 2014 post.
Writing a psalm that urges us to sing psalms seems a bit like blowing your own trumpet; but we assume many of these songs were familiar as part of the culture of the children of Israel from the days of the exile in Egypt.
So the song dips back in time to remind the reader of those trying days in the wilderness that form the backdrop to Lent, after Pharaoh let the people go – into freedom from slavery, sure, but also into the wilds, deserts and privations. When read in Lent, the preceding Old Testament reading is from Exodus 17, the people complaining of their wilderness thirst. Similarly, Australia's heartlands can be both impressive and fearsome. The psalmist goes on to remind us that trials and hardships pass; do not to take the short view, for in the long run we shall find peace. The song is an encouragement not just to be thankful but also to be humble and not to 'harden our hearts'.
TiS 53 is the Calypso Carol.
A simple refrain from The Emergent Psalter using verse 1 may be a good choice: "Come let us sing, let us shout for joy".
The first, 95C (Come let us sing), is a chant by William Boyce in the form of an unusually long double tone. This would suit more traditional tastes very nicely. While the harmonies are not adventurous, it can be sung in SATB to rich effect.
Over the page, PFAS 95E (O that today) is a lilting tune in E minor by Andrew Moore, with a choice of two tones for the verses. A couple of features make this refrain attractive. First, it flows up and down nicely to finish on the tonic major. Next, both bass note and chord sequence follow a loose stepping pattern down then up, in either a single or double-step (thirds) fashion. This means little when written thus but the musical effect is pleasing. You have to be there.
Finally, an oboe descant part featured in "Let not your hearts be hardened" at 95I promises a nice song, including refrain and sung verses.
For the more adventurous, a swag of classical setting of 95 may be found in the public domain, including a smaller but still impressive swag of tunes from a shoe-maker, Thomas Clark (1775 – 1859). Clark, who according to his obituary "received but a scanty education, but was an incessant reader", was also an incessant composer. You get the picture when, while scanning page upon page of titles by this director of music in Canterbury, the eye falls on A Twelfth set of Psalm Tunes. Being in the form of rather conservative hymns, they do not earn a prominent place in our repertoire.
Elsewhere in the big swag, a piece by Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), impressively entitled "Venite exultemus Domino: In festo Natalis Resurrectionis Ascensionis" (being the incipit and seasonal use), is remarkable for its arrangement for nine parts in three trios. Each voice was published in 1607 as a separate book. As is his way, he directs that these parts may be for voices, instruments or organs.

When I turned 20, my dad made me a playlist of all the songs he felt perfectly described the transition into the second decade of life. It was the best gift I could have ever received, even though it seemed so simple. Six months later, Lorde's Melodrama feels like the perfect extension of that gift.
Though the odds of us ever meeting are less than zero, I've always felt a sort of unspoken bond with Lorde, real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor. Other than the whole *groundbreaking international pop star with a chart-topping new record* thing, she and I have a lot in common. From the beginning of Lorde's career, I've been comforted by this connection. It was superficial at first - we were the same age when Pure Heroine changed the world - but slowly grew more and more meaningful.
No artist captured how it felt to be 16 as well as Lorde. The four years between her albums forced us both to grow up, something I'm realizing she handled far better than I did. Entering your twenties is a strange, scary feeling no matter who you are. For an artist who was catapulted into the spotlight at such a young age, it has to feel even more confusing and terrifying. People are watching your every move, waiting for you to make even the smallest mistake. Which is completely unfair when you realize growing up is about making mistakes.
Melodrama is as much about the worst nights of your life as it is about the best nights. It's blurry cab rides home at 3 a.m. after literally falling on your face in the middle of a crosswalk. It's the freedom to fail because you're young and don't know any better. The first time you see an ex with somebody else: pure misery. The first time they see you with someone else: newfound strength. From its vibrant anthems to its intimate ballads, this album makes you feel everything with an electrifying intensity.
This is a record about heartbreak, and blatantly so. The minute "Green Light" dropped, we all learned about the end of Ella's first serious relationship. But Melodrama is also about healing; there's "Liability," but there's also "Liability (Reprise)." From beginning to end, it's a story of self-discovery and radical self-love. Moving so gracefully from the agony of being told "you're a little much for me" to the breathtaking affirmation that "you're not what you thought you were" is something only Lorde could do.
Each time I listen to Melodrama, I learn something about myself and about Ella, the phenomenal woman behind the truly unique artist. She took time off to experience the world, then created the most exquisite map of her life and shared it with millions of people. I've spent the better part of three years selfishly complaining about the long wait between albums one and two. But I don't think the result would have been as stunning and inspiring and full if Lorde had rushed the writing of her sophomore record. She needed space to grow on this album, and she gave herself exactly that.
Pure Heroine will always be the soundtrack of my high school years; I drove around my small suburban town playing "Team" and "Bravado" as loud as possible, feeling much cooler than I ever could have been. It's only fitting that I'm stumbling into adulthood with Melodrama in my ears.

New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum featuring Peter Hurd exhibit New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum 4100 Dripping Springs Road

A new exhibition at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces captures the essence of one of the state's great artists — Peter Hurd.
"Drawn to the Land: Peter Hurd's New Mexico" features 24 paintings and some of the artist's belongings, including one of his palettes with brushes, a pair of chaps, boots, sombrero, guitar, and polo helmet and mallet. The show, which includes loans from the Hurd La Rinconada Gallery in San Patricio, N.M., and the El Paso Museum of Art, also features a video about Hurd (1904-1984).
The exhibit opened in the Museum's Traditions Gallery on Nov. 16 and will be on display through Sept. 13, 2019.
"We're so pleased to present the work of Peter Hurd at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum," said Chief Curator Lisa Pugh. "Through his portraits and paintings, Hurd celebrated a uniquely New Mexican way of life and depicted the inexplicable beauty of the southern high plains in a way no other artist could."
Hurd, who was born and raised in the Roswell area, settled in the Hondo Valley after attending West Point, serving as a war artist correspondent during World War II, and living in Pennsylvania, where he met his wife, Henriette Wyeth. The artist is celebrated for his realistic portraits and luminous Southwestern landscapes that feature the vegetation, rolling hills, windmills, water tanks and ever-changing skies of the area in Lincoln and Chaves counties.
Unlike many artists who are proficient in a few mediums, Hurd was skilled in a variety of media including oil, lithography, watercolor, egg tempera, and charcoal. Light was critically important in Hurd's work and he strove to render it accurately. Hurd felt that the medium of egg tempera allowed him to truly capture the shifting light and arid landscape of New Mexico.
"If a work of art represents a particular artist's view of the world, Peter Hurd's work conveys how inspired he was by nature and his surroundings," said Holly Radke, the museum's collections manager, who curated the exhibit. "He is best known as a regionalist painter who captured the hardworking people and landscapes of southeastern New Mexico."
By the time of his death in 1984, Hurd had become synonymous with New Mexico. His obituary in the New York Times was headlined, "Peter Hurd, Painter of Southwest."
Regular hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $5 adults, $4 senior citizens, $3 children ages 4 to 17 and $2 for active U.S. military members and veterans. Children 3 and younge and members of the Museum Friends receive free admission.

SA sun and wind, unlike Eskom's coal, can't be stolen by 'sophisticated' crooks, says De Ruyter
Posted by Upgrade Energy
Eskom CEO André de Ruyter has slammed critics of the utility's move towards renewables, away from coal, arguing that their arguments are not only illogical, but akin to wanting to keep SA stuck in the "Stone Age".
"When a technology reaches the end of its life, it doesn't make sense to continue to perpetuate it. The Stone Age didn't end because of a lack of stones. The mere fact that we have a lot of stones in SA doesn't mean we should have more stone tools," De Ruyter told Daily Maverick's The Gathering event in Cape Town on Thursday.

Q: SSRS expression for variance % I have two "Total" columns across two tablix as below:
one is SUM(Previous) and  the other is SUM(Current)
i'm trying to calculate Variance between these columns as "Expressions" in a new Tablix, I'm trying to get the PreviousTotal and CurrentTotal through SQL and then to calculate Variance as an expression.
how to calcualte variance in ssrs expression between these two columns ?

A: You don't mean the variance, I think you mean something like "percentage deviation" from a previous to the current value. Why would you want to do this with a SUM? The difference between a "current sum" and a "previous sum" usually is just a "current value", and if you set this in relation to a 'SUM', it might look very small. But ok, in some scenarios this might make sense.
So, If you really want to calculate the "percentage deviation" of SUM(Previous) and SUM(Current), the formula would be:
(SUM(Current) - SUM(Previous)) / SUM(Previous)

Format the value as a percentage.

A: Reference the PreviousTotal and CurrentTotal by Textbox ID.Value, and do math on them.


With Christmas approaching, the festive spirit was evident across the English Football League - there were even some reindeer outside Peterborough's London Road ground.
Fans of 27 winning clubs in the second, third or fourth tiers will be able to say "my true love gave to me" three points.
And following that theme, while feeling especially generous at this time of year, BBC Sport hereby brings you 12 things you may have missed in the EFL this weekend.
Spare a thought for the Sunderland fans who endured a round trip of 640 miles to watch their side lose at Portsmouth, three days before Christmas.
The travelling Black Cats faithful saw no shots on target from either side in the first half and their team managed just one in the entire 90 minutes, in a 3-1 loss, as League One leaders Pompey capitalised on Glenn Loovens' second-half dismissal.
For Pompey owner Michael Eisner, a man used to making wishes come true as the former chairman and CEO of Disney, it was a case of being a recipient rather than a giver.
"Dear Santa - we have been reasonably good all year. So we wish for a win against Sunderland," he said on Twitter on Friday.
"Thanks, Santa! #Pompey. The perfect gift," he posted following the game.
Meanwhile, although none travelled quite as far as Sunderland, four other EFL clubs' supporters who also journeyed vast distances across the country this Saturday did have wins to celebrate.
Accrington fans were rewarded for their long trip to Plymouth with a 3-0 victory, while Carlisle won at Crawley, Exeter beat Oldham and Rochdale came out on top at Southend.
The year 2018 has not been one to remember for Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony but - on his first start since January - he finally ended his 11-month dry spell in front of goal.
The 30-year-old - who cost the Welsh outfit a reported £12m to re-sign in 2017 - opened the scoring for the Swans at Hull City, but the Tigers fought back to claim a 3-2 win.
Talking of expensive purchases, Cambridge's directors drew widespread praise for a generous gift to supporters at Morecambe on Saturday.
All the Cambridge fans at the Globe Arena received free entry, a free non-alcoholic drink and a free pie or snack, paid for by the League Two club's board.
On the field though, it was not such good news for United, as they lost 3-0 in new manager Colin Calderwood's first game in charge.
It is fair to say, Joey Barton's playing career delivered some crazy moments, but few could match Saturday's dramatic finale at the Memorial Stadium.
Manager Barton was sent to the stands in the final moments of his Fleetwood Town side's 2-1 loss at managerless Bristol Rovers - but that was not the only drama to occur in stoppage time.
Rovers hit the woodwork twice, before James Clarke's 94th-minute goal won the game, while three yellow cards and Barton's red were dished out in added time, after Fleetwood striker Ched Evans' earlier dismissal and six other bookings.
"Today's officiating team were as bad as any I have come across in all my time in the game, including junior football," fumed Barton.
So no ho-ho-ho for Joey.
Queens Park Rangers ended one of the longest-standing records in English football as they finally won a game at Nottingham Forest for their first time in their history, at the 35th attempt.
Rangers had lost 20 and drawn 14 of their previous visits to the City Ground since first playing there in 1934.
Tony Leistner's header ended the hoodoo, giving former Forest boss Steve McClaren a win over one of his old clubs for the second consecutive weekend.
Far more used to winning are Luton Town, who continued their impressive recent form with a 2-0 win over Burton Albion.
The victory was Luton's seventh in a row in home league games, keeping them four points behind leaders Pompey.
The second-placed Hatters - who have not played in the Championship since 2007 - are threatening to achieve back-to-back promotions, after finishing second in League Two last term.
West Brom's impressive 4-0 win at Rotherham - which kept the Baggies third in the Championship - saw Dwight Gayle score the sixth senior hat-trick of his career.
The Newcastle loanee took his tally of goals for the season to 13, after 21 appearances in all competitions.
He scored his first senior treble while playing for Peterborough at Blackburn in 2013, before netting hat-tricks in the League Cup in consecutive seasons for Crystal Palace and then claiming the match ball twice in the space of three months for Newcastle in 2016.
But it will be a far less happy Christmas for fans of Scunthorpe United, who slipped in to the League One relegation zone with a 2-0 loss at Bradford City.
The Iron have lost five consecutive league games, as well as being knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Gillingham earlier in December.
They have also gone five matches without scoring in all competitions. Bah, humbug.
In contrast, Lincoln City are having a very merry time indeed, after moving four points clear at the League Two summit.
The Imps' 3-2 win over Newport County was coupled with second-placed Milton Keynes Dons' 1-0 loss at home to Colchester.
A Press Association reporter described Swindon and Cheltenham's dour match as "instantly forgettable"
Swindon Town and Cheltenham Town's meeting in League Two gifted us with a festive-themed match between the 'Robins' and the 'Robins'.
Sadly, their match failed to take flight, as it ended goalless at the County Ground, in a match described as "instantly forgettable".
The clubs also share their tag with Bristol City, while the trio are joined by 14 other EFL clubs who have animal nicknames - if you think you can name them all, click here to take our quiz.
Ex-Aston Villa boss Bruce has been tipped to be the next Sheffield Wednesday manager, after the Owls parted company with Jos Luhukay on Friday.
Two of Bruce's former backroom team at Villa - Steve Agnew and coach Stephen Clemence - were at Hillsborough for Saturday's visit of Preston, adding to widespread speculation of the former Manchester United defender's potential arrival.
After the Owls' 1-0 win, caretaker boss Lee Bullen said the Owls will be doing "the right thing" if they appoint Bruce, 57.
We would have liked to end with a partridge in a pear tree, but as Steve Coogan was unavailable, we must offer respect to a certain Derby County player instead.
After an entertaining 1-1 draw against Bristol City, manager Frank Lampard revealed that veteran striker David Nugent had played 65 minutes of the game despite breaking his hand on Thursday.
That surely deserves an extra portion of pudding on Tuesday.


Interviewer: If someone falls on a public sidewalk, could they sue the city for that?
Bill Levinson: Absolutely. I'm working on one right now against the city of Spokane. When a sidewalk heaves, it's the city's responsibility to make the walkways safe. I handled a case against the city of Seattle where pedestrians had to walk downhill and they had a manhole cover that was smooth. My client fell and severely broke her ankle.
The city was originally sued and the city, it joined in the lawsuit the contractor that the city had hired to put in all of these covers. The interesting thing was that almost throughout the entire city they had put traction substance on the covers and this was one of the few that did not have it.
The government does not have immunity for any claim with a couple of exceptions and definitely not for premises claims. In fact, one of the leading cases in the State of Washington on this subject was a suit against the liquor control board.
They failed to clean and make safe its parking lot in the middle of winter. I've handled that same case against a dealership where there was a patch of ice my client slipped on in between cars as he was following a salesman.
I've handled a case against a park, a restroom in Eastern Washington where the lady's bathroom was troweled concrete and when there was water on it, it was like a skating rink and my client broke her shoulder when she fell.
Can You Predict How Much Compensation You Will Receive in a Premises Liability Case?
Interviewer: In a premises liability case, what would that individual be entitled to?
Bill Levinson: What I think they're entitled to and what we settle for and what a jury awards are three different things. This is because people are unique. The elements that go into deciding how much a fair settlement amounts to is first the particular individual and second the extent of the injury.
The third is the medical bills and the fourth is whether or not they have any continuing symptoms. The issues of liability are factored in also.
Without knowing all of those things, to give you an average or to give you any number at all would be a pure guess, which is useless to anybody involved in this type of injury.
Interviewer: What would my compensation cover? Would it cover mental distress for example?
Bill Levinson: It's not exactly mental distress, but included in a jury instructions will be a loss of enjoyment of life and there are other emotional injuries associated with it. They are asked to consider factors surrounding the issue of pain and disability. That subject is factored in but it's not a cause of action in and of itself.
Interviewer: Are there any examples that someone could sue for emotional trauma?
Bill Levinson: Not with regard to premises, but for example, a parent who watched their child get run over would be an example of an individual that experienced emotional trauma.

My role is to manage the production kitchen of Coltivare, that's where the food comes from when you sit down and eat at the restaurant. I design the menus, create daily specials, and expedite food service. I work closely with farmers around the area to utilize as much of what is fresh, local, and in season as possible.
I began my employment at Coltivare while I was still a student. Attending classes here as part of the Culinary Arts program through Tompkins Cortland Community College, I saw the potential that this restaurant has to contribute to the Finger Lakes culinary and wine scene, and applied for a job. Before Coltivare or even starting work on my degree, I'd already worked at a number of restaurants throughout Ithaca, getting my first foothold in a professional kitchen as a dishwasher, and then working my way up the ranks to Sous Chef at another farm to table restaurant.
I chose Coltivare because of my passion for farm to table and for the opportunity to help others gain the tools they need to get ahead in the culinary field from a young age. A part of what makes Coltivare so unique is it's a combination of school and a restaurant. It's awesome being able to be a part of the educational side of Coltivare, teaching students about food and production techniques, and also getting to cook professionally for the restaurant at the same time.
The farms, state parks, and its growing culinary and wine scene.
I enjoy all food—to know me is to know that everything I do involves food.

A goat that was extremely bored, ornery, or both decided to smash in the front door of polyurethane manufacturer Argonics Inc.'s Colorado office this weekend, and the mystery may have gone unsolved were it not for the company's surveillance system.
Argonics uploaded video to YouTube of the goat's July 16 rampage on Monday, writing its staff was initially confused to discover nothing was stolen. But camera footage revealed the interloper to be none other than one real jerk of a goat who casually busted through one window, ran away, then decided—in what appeared to be a spirit of pure malevolence—that he didn't like the way the other one looked, either.

TROY — Nearly a week and a half after council approved to authorize the purchase the Huelskamp Farm, located on North Piqua-Troy Road for $1.5 million, city staff has deemed the house and barns "impractical" to house the park department.
The Huelskamp Farm, adjacent to the Paul G. Duke Park will nearly double the size of the city park. City staff stated the majority of the farm's cost will be offset by nearly $1.1 million in potential grants.
Public service and safety director Patrick Titterington notified council on Aug. 10 that park superintendent Jeremy Drake, another park staff member and a county building inspector recently walked through the home and barns. Titterington emailed council to notify them that the current conditions of the homestead were "not a very practical long term solution for the park maintenance staff."
Titterington stated the city plans to place the home and barns — on 2. 5 acres for sale — to offset the costs of a new pole barn at Duke Park for the park's department's future use.
"Therefore, since the rest of the property continues to be very valuable as a future recreational/park setting as we've discussed previously, the mayor and I feel that going forward with the purchase is still in our best interests," Titterington said Aug. 10. "I will be signing the purchase agreement later this week and our consultant will begin analyzing, drawing and estimated the costs of completing a complex."
On Aug. 12, Mayor Michael Beamish stated, "In my estimation this land purchase has great potential as an addition to Duke Park and for a future recreational complex for the city. To me, this is one of our top priorities! Any surplus not used for recreational purposes could be used down the road for potential sale and/or development. Again, the key point is that this purchase allows us to expand Duke Park for a future recreational complex."
In response to the news, council member Robin Oda stated, "Patrick, I would think this walk-through had been done before purchasing the property and making the pitch to council for purchase. I would have very much appreciated this perspective prior to council's approval. I know that the property was the first concern, and we are happy to have secured the property, but you were so confident that we would also be using the house and barns. This feels a bit after-the-fact."
Council member Bobby Phillips stated he was not opposed to the potential sale of the homestead as long as the city takes advantage of the sale.
"The other possibilities of future City use or a tear down are both viable as far as I am concerned," Phillips said. Phillips stated he understood the land was priority during council's vote on Aug. 3.
In another email, Titterington restated,"Again, the structures were not 'key' to the recommendation, just a possible extra benefit. Selling that parcel should accomplish the same objective by capturing more revenue to then be able to build a new facility for parks maintenance."
The Troy Daily News asked Titterington and Mayor Beamish in an email why the property wasn't thoroughly inspected prior to council authorizing its purchase.
"The house and barns are not the reason that we bought the property: the acreage is," Titterington said. "An inspection wasn't possible with the timing of the negotiations, deadlines, and the consultation with the council."
Titterington stated the cost of a new pole barn would be $200,000 to $250,000. Titterington said the construction of a pole barn, is "not an absolute necessity in the short term" unless the second sheet of ice at Hobart Arena were to move forward.
Titterington stated that a variety of factors deemed the homestead impractical to house the parks department.
"A variety of little things, for example, the barn doesn't have a concrete floor because it is a cow barn to herd cattle and feed into the basement, the bathroom of the house is on the second floor, etc.," Titterington said.
No estimates of costs were provided at the time of the inspection.
Titterington stated it is too early to estimate what the city of Troy will list the homestead for sale. He said the appraisal for the property's homestead was approximately $260,000. Titterington said city staff commissioned the appraisal in May.
The city anticipates to receive grants for the park's purchase in the coming weeks. MSA Sport was awarded the contract for design of the Duke Park expansion. Council authorized the contract last winter. The contract was for $30,250, which includes "renderings and cost estimates related to future ballfield complex, including parking, concessions, groups of ballfields, interconnectivity to existing Duke Park, and utility extensions," according to Titterington.

STYAL star David Horsey is heading Down Under to try his hand in four key tournaments.
The English Golf Union is sending four international players for a month-long stay to Australia this month.
Horsey, Matthew Cryer, Stephen Lewton and Gary Wolstenholme will get the chance to hone their games in the sunshine ahead of the European season in the Avondale Medal, the Lake Macquarie International, and the New South Wales Medal and Amateur Championship.
The action starts with the 36-hole Avondale Medal in Sydney on January 20, while the Lake Macquarie International has become a regular destination for international players. It is a 72-hole stroke play event being staged at its familiar home of Belmont Golf Club from January 25.
The New South Wales Medal will be played over 72 holes at Mona Vale and Cromer Golf Clubs in early February with the leading 32 players qualifying for the NSW Amateur Championship at Terrey Hill Golf and Country Club on February 7.
Horsey, 21, is a former North of England Schools Champion, who finished runner-up in the English Amateur Championship in 2004, won the English County Champions tournament and the North of England Youths in 2006.
Cryer, 31, made his full England debut in last year's Home Internationals at Royal St George's and also played against France in Bordeaux last May.
The Coventry man also won the Czech Amateur in 2004 and reached this year's English and Italian Amateur Championship semi-finals.
Lewton, from Buckinghamshire, made his full England debut in last September's Home Internationals in Wales.
Having spent four years at college in America, his presence on the British and European circuit has been sparse but Lewton won the individual title in the South East Qualifying in 2005, reached the last 16 of the Amateur Championship and the English Amateur, finished runner-up in the European Amateur and third in the Czech Amateur.
Wolstenholme, from Leicestershire, has made 199 appearances for England since his debut in 1988. The six-time Walker Cup player won the New South Wales Medal in 2005 but lost in the second round of the NSW Amateur Championship.
English players have won the prestigious Lake Macquarie International Championship four times in the last 20 years, and the reigning champion is Adam Gee, who recently turned professional.
After the New South Wales events, Wolstenholme will return home, and be replaced by Jason Palmer, who will join the others in the 72-hole Tasmanian Open Amateur on February 17.
Palmer was unbeaten in the British Universities Home Internationals and went on to win the Italian Amateur at Lake Como.
