Shiite supporters of the Hezbollah-led parliamentary opposition assembled on the streets of several Beirut neighborhoods early Tuesday, a trial show of force that panicked some schools into closing and sent a tremor of unease through the Lebanese capital.
The street gatherings, which were peaceful and lasted for about two hours, came a day after an international tribunal investigating the murder of Rafik Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister, submitted indictments for a pretrial legal assessment. Details of the indictments remain confidential for now, although it has been widely reported that they will name members of the militant Shiite Hezbollah.
"This is an important moment for the people of Lebanon. It marks the launch of the judicial phase of the tribunal," Daniel Bellemare, the prosecutor for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, said in a video-taped statement. "For the first time, a legal case has been launched against those responsible for a political assassination in Lebanon."
Herman Von Hebel, the tribunal's registrar, said that the first trials could begin in September or October "if all goes well." He added that they could be held in absentia if none of the indicted are arrested and brought to the Netherlands.
Hezbollah threatens strong backlash
Hariri was killed with 22 others in a massive truck bomb explosion in February 2005. The UN-backed tribunal has been investigating the murder of Hariri and other Lebanese politicians and journalists since June 2005.
Daniel Fransen, the tribunal's pretrial judge, has six to 10 weeks to deliberate on the evidence accumulated by the prosecution. If he approves the case, the indictments are expected to be made public, including the names of those charged and possibly hundreds of pages of accumulated evidence.
Hezbollah has denied any involvement in Hariri's death and accuses the tribunal of serving the interests of the United States and Israel.
Hezbollah sources warned in recent weeks of heightened measures by the group in response to the issuing of indictments. The pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat newspaper on Tuesday quoted an unnamed Hezbollah source as saying "the postindictment phase will not be like the preindictment phase at all."
Hezbollah's trial run for future protests
Lebanese troops fanned out in flash-point neighborhoods of Beirut on Tuesday morning shortly after the crowds had dispersed. Sources close to Hezbollah said the gatherings were intended to send a message and at the same time were a trial run for future potential action on the streets.
Mouin Merhebi, an anti-Hezbollah MP, accused the opposition of resorting to "armed mobs."
But Wiam Wahhab, a pro-Syrian politician and ally of Hezbollah, urged the Lebanese security forces not to interfere with street protests against the tribunal.
"The Special Tribunal for Lebanon will never enter Lebanon," he told Lebanon's New TV channel.
Mediation from Syria, Qatar, and Turkey
The uptick in tensions comes as Lebanon's regional neighbors continued to find a way to resolve the political crisis in Beirut following the collapse of the coalition government last week when all opposition ministers resigned.
Statutory consultations between President Michel Suleiman and the members of the 128-seat parliament to nominate a new prime minister were supposed to begin Monday. However, they were canceled to allow a chance for a regional mediation.
On Tuesday, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, the prime minister and foreign minister of Qatar, and Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, visited Beirut to hold talks with Lebanese officials.
A day earlier, neighboring Syria hosted a summit in Damascus grouping the leaders of Syria, Qatar, and Turkey. The summit called for the resumption of a Saudi-Syrian dialogue to find a compromise between the opposing Lebanese factions.
It remains unclear, however, whether such a compromise can be found given the deepening divide between the Hezbollah-led opposition and supporters of Saad Hariri, the head of the caretaker government and son of the slain Rafik.

We are visiting family who were kind enough to let us sneak out for a little date night. Wilf and I had spent the past few days just us two whilst Tom was away, and without someone to tell me to go to bed I had been staying up way too late trying to clear a little bit of my inbox (and lets be honest catch up on some TV shows that Tom would never sit through). This doesn't really work with a two year old who still wakes at night (and gets up at 6) so truthfully I wasn't really sure if I was up for drinks, kind of day dreaming about an early night instead.
I'm so glad we made the effort though, especially with some time apart we had a really fun night reminiscing and chatting about this kiddo of ours. Most people say you shouldn't talk about your children when go out but I have to disagree. There is no one that loves Wilf more than Tom and I so why not talk about how fantastic that is?
The last time we went out (this time last month actually!) we went to a wedding and joked about how we had forgotten how to dance like normal people and not parents. I'm hoping by this time next month we may have snuck in another date night and we've agreed that a night out dancing is just what we need! Also I've been told that playing 90's music is somehow cool again so I feel we need to take advantage of this moment in time where I actually know what song they are playing ;)
As usual I'm hosting this Me and You linky with the lovely Lucy, Becky and Kirsty. If you fancy linking up your posts with you and your loved one then just enter below!

Petraeus, a honey trap, and the Chicago Way
Hugo Floriani, Investigative Reporter
David Petraeus got caught in a classic "honey trap," and then, rather than lie under oath before Congress, he sprang the trap on himself.
Events in Washington D.C. are seldom as they appear.
Likewise for Chicago, except when things appear corrupted the Chicago Way.
The recent resignation of CIA Director and former Army General David Petraeus reeks of the Chicago Way flavored with Vito Corleone's advice to "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".
The legacy media is promoting this version of the story: Petraeus had an affair with an attractive, younger woman. An FBI investigation found out about it and discovered that his email correspondence with the woman had been compromised. Recognizing the potential scandal he faced, Petraeus resigned, rather than cover it up. End of story.
Just your garden-variety sex scandal, right?
Who's kidding who here? Or trying to.
Believing this version requires what one famous politician once called "the willing suspension of disbelief". We're supposed to believe:
that the FBI either (1) did not discover this indiscretion before Petraeus was appointed to the CIA, or, (2) knew of it then and didn't considered it a disqualifier for the position;
that his resignation has nothing to do with him being scheduled to testify before Congress under oath concerning the death of the four Americans in Benghazi (he previously was not under oath when he addressed a Congressional committee about the episode - that's important to remember); and,
that his marital indiscretion, though not publically known, was sufficient cause for him to pull the plug on his career.
To buy this account requires not only having fallen off a turnip truck, but then having been run over by a fleet of other turnip trucks.
There's a more believable version of this matter being played out inside the Beltway by those who know Petraeus. Here's how that version runs:
Petraeus got caught in a classic "honey trap";
his oath as an Army Officer was to protect and defend the Constitution – marital fidelity isn't mentioned. If it was, in wartime particularly, there's be courts martial of field and general grade officers on a daily basis;
he toed the administration's party line when he testified before congress about Benghaziwhile not under oath;
testifying under oath is an altogether more serious happening; and,
rather than lie under oath about the Benghazi fiasco, Petraeus sprang the honey trap on himself, taking away the leverage that was being used against him by those who sought to force his compliance by threatening to release what they knew about his affair with the honey, Paula Broadwell.
His marital infidelity was the wrong thing to do. In the end, though, he did a right thing by not violating both his oath as an officer in the United States Army, and the similarly serious oath to tell the truth before Congress, once he is sworn-in.
If you accept this version as at least as viable as the popular storyline – maybe more so – ask yourself this question:
Who could have set the honey trap so as to have it available for use as leverage against Petraeus in the event that he found himself facing personal difficulty in complying with an order that compromised his oath as an Army officer – an oath with no shelf live?
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" – and have something on them in case you need to make a request they can't refuse, unless they fall on their sword.
Note: The photo before the article is of Anna Chapman – a Russian spy who was arrested in New York in 2010 for allegedly getting close to luring a "Cabinet member" into her honey trap. Read about her here, and here.

Megan Fox has messed with the wrong crew.
After the outspoken screen starlet compared director Michael Bay to madmen like Hitler and Napoleon in an interview, three anonymous film crew members who say they've worked with Fox and Bay on the Transformers franchise took to the Internet to defend their boss – and sling mud at Fox.
"We've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies," they wrote. "We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies... She's as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
In the post, which was eventually taken down from the Transformers site, the crew members call Fox "classless," hard to work with and definitely "no Angelina Jolie."
"You see, Angelia is a professional," they wrote, Usmagazine.com reported.
The ultimate insult: that Bay would have "Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3."
Bay eventually weighed in on the immaturity, chiding both sides on his site.
"I don't condone the crew letter to Megan," he wrote on Saturday. "And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter is I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3."

Cooney tallied nine kills, including five in the first set, but Harvard could not overcome Yale Saturday.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Erin Cooney and Kathleen Wallace registered nine kills apiece, but the Harvard women's volleyball team fell to the two-time defending Ivy League champions Yale, 3-0, Saturday at the Malkin Athletic Center.
Freshmen Caroline Holte and Jennifer Shults and sophomore Caroline Walters each scored four kills for Harvard (5-11, 2-3 Ivy League), with Walters hitting a team-best .571. Beth Kinsella tallied 19 assists. Defensively, Taylor Docter and Hannah Schmidt led the Crimson with 10 digs, while Kristen Casey had nine.
Kelly Johnson notched a match-high 13 kills on .722 hitting to help Yale (9-5, 5-0 Ivy League) remain undefeated in the Ancient Eight.
Despite five kills from Cooney in the first set, the Crimson fell to the Bulldogs, 25-19. Yale jumped out to an early 13-6 lead, but a pair kills by Cooney helped Harvard storm back to tie the score at 14. The Crimson was unable to take the lead as the visitors tallied 11 of the final 15 points to take the first frame.
Harvard came out strong in the second set, with Cooney scoring a kill to give Harvard its largest advantage of the match, 10-2. A flurry of Yale points, culminating in a kill by Johnson evened the score at 14, and the Bulldogs never trailed again en route to a 25-18 victory in the second stanza.
The Crimson could not rally in the third frame, and Gabby Bird-Vogel scored a kill to seal the sweep with a 25-15 victory in set three.
Harvard next travels to New York for a pair of conference matches next weekend. The Crimson takes on Cornell Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. and Columbia Oct. 13 at 5 p.m.

A Glimpse at the Classrooms
One of the greatest things about Cambridge is its architecture. It is like I am walking around in a 17th century themed park. I expect to walk around the side of a building and see 4 x 6 boards holding the facades up.
Because this environment is so inspiring, I wanted to take a minute to show you where I am studying.
Another of my classrooms. This building is nestled in the Newnam Garden! I very much enjoy the walk to class every day!
Last night's plenary lecture was held at the Senate House. This was a rare venue to have this lecture because this building is used for ceremonies only. The only other time I would be able to be in it is if I were graduating from the University!
Facade of the Senate House

I don't want to say that this is better than Brenau's Owens Student Center or Thurmond-McRae Lecture Hall, but it is certainly a different atmosphere…

After a string of emergency calls to celebrities' homes which turned out to be fake, the Los Angeles police department is changing how it deals with people who prompt the so-called "swatting," when swarms of SWAT officers descend on a home.
The LAPD on Monday responded to a report of domestic violence and a possible shooting at the home of singer Chris Brown, but it was a hoax. And last Friday, police received a call about a possible shooting at the home of Kim Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner. A SWAT team and three helicopters responded, but the 911 call was bogus.
"You're really hurting our city," LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman said, referring to the so-called swatters.
U.S. & World
The LAPD told NBC4 Southern California they are getting savvier about swatters and more serious about the consequences.
The department will ask the city attorney to pursue felony charges. And because calling out several officers, paramedics and airships to non-emergencies adds up, they'll also seek compensation from swatters.
"Depending how long that incident continues, you could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars," Neiman said.
The LAPD is still going to be there when needed, so even if the calls turn out to be fake, they'll treat every report with the same urgency.
"Our response is no different," Neiman said.
But celebrity swatters are on now on notice.
"They could be sitting behind, jail for a very long time," Neiman said, "if, tragically, somebody is seriously hurt or killed as a result of a swatting incident."

FTP/SSH Bundle for TextMate
(Download link at the bottom)
Since you are reading this you probably know there is no build-in FTP/SSH support in TextMate.
This bundle tries to work around this a little bit. Not satisfied by the perfomance of solutions like Macfusion or Expandrive I choosed to develop my own solution.
Using the FTP/SSH bundle you may be able to download (reload) and upload files to a remote host using FTP or SSH. You always work on a local copy of the remote files. Remote files must be downloaded first by another method and manually added to your TextMate Project file. You may use the FTP/SSH bundle for TextMate Projects or just single files.
Remote Connection settings
The FTP/SSH bundle get its remote connection settings from a file called .ftpssh_settings. This file must be located in the same directory where your TextMate Project file is saved. If you don't use a TextMate Project but single files you must place the .ftpssh_settings file at the same directory level where your single files are saved.
Use the FTP/SSH command Remote Connection Settings… to enter connection parameters for remote FTP or SSH servers. It will take care of where to save .ftpssh_settings.
These are the parameters to be used in .ftpssh_settings or entered using the Remote Connection Settings… command. All except cli_options and password (FTP only) are mandantory.
- protocol: SSH or FTP
- user: Login name on the remote host
- password: Password to login on the remote host (FTP only)
- host: Name or IP of the remote host
- path: Relative (to $HOME) or absolute path of your project on the remote host
- cli_options: Command line options/arguments for /usr/bin/ftp or /usr/bin/scp (optional)
Note: Because SSH does not support passwords on the command line it only works if you set up passwordless authentication like Public key authentication. See the SSH manual for how to do this.
Note 2: Passwords for FTP are saved in clear text. To secure it a little bit the .ftpssh_settings file will be set to file mode 0600 (read/write only by the owner).
Format of .ftpssh_settings file
Example .ftpssh_settings for a FTP connection:
protocol = ftp
user = username
password = password
host = myserver.com
path = path/to/remote_project
cli_options =
Example .ftpssh_settings for a SSH connection:
protocol = ssh
user = username
password =
host = myserver.com
path = path/to/remote_project
cli_options = -C
(Compression of data transfer enabled by cli_options = -C)
Using FTP/SSH commands
The FTP/SSH bundle commands works on the current window (open file) only. It's not possible to reload or save all files in a TextMate Project at once.
Reload Remote File
To get the latest revision of a remote file use this command. This will overwrite the local file.
Shortcut: alt-R
Upload File
Save local changes to the remote host (and the local file). This will overwrite the remote file.
Shortcut: alt-S
Remote Connection Settings…
Edit and save remote connection parameters for remote FTP or SSH servers.
- Help
Show Help.
There is no fancy response sign (spinning wheel, progress bar) during data transfer. After success or failure of the commands you get a message as tool tip or - if installed - via Growlnotify.
- Reload all files of a TextMate Project at once
- Upload all changed files of a TextMate Project at once
- Show diffs between local and remote files
v2.3 (2008-05-13)
- FIXED: Error when loading connection setting parameters which contains non-alphanumeric characters. (Thanks to Jonas Grau).
- FIXED: Chopping off the first character from the file path in some circumstances will not occure anymore. (Thanks Jason).
- FIXED: All error output from /usr/bin/ftp and /usr/bin/scp is catched
- CHANGED: Uploading and reloading of files is more robust because (1) the local file will be addressed using it's absolute path and (2) the arguments to the SCP and FTP commands are escaped for all kinds of file or path names (hopefully).
- CHANGED: In case of error the executed FTP or SCP command line will be displyed for better error checking. (Tip: Go to Bundles > Bundle Editor, open the FTP/SSH Bundle, select the "Upload" or "Reload" command and choose "Create New Document" as Output option. This way you can copy the command line used by the FTP/SSH Bundle and try it in a Terminal Shell.)
v2.2 (2007-12-29)
- FIXED: Command "Remote Connection Settings..." missing. (Thanks to Russ Brooks).

Great bundle as I have been
Great bundle as I have been looking for a decent solution to the lack of ftp/ssh support in textmate. I ran into one small problem though, apparently lines 36 & 81 were chopping off a character of the root filename:
$relative_dir = substr($TM_DIRECTORY, strlen((empty($PROJECT_DIR) ? $TM_DIRECTORY : $PROJECT_DIR))+1);
My root file folder is /fm and it would give me the error that it cannot open directory: /m/pages/myfile.html instead of /fm/pages/myfile.html.
Anyway I fixed the problem by removing the +1 on those lines.
Again thanks for a great bundle.

Character chopping fixed in v2.3
The 1 character chopping off from the file path is fixed in v2.3 by changing how the $relative_dir is determined.
- Login to post comments
Line 36 and line 79 seem to
Line 36 and line 79 seem to rewrite the $relative_dir weirdly if the .tmproj file isn't in the same directory as the project files. I started to fix it, but decided it'd be easier to just stick the .tmproj in with the project.
- Login to post comments
The TM Project file
The TM Project file (.tmproj) must be saved in the root of your project directory. If not the FTP/SSH Bundle can't determine the directory path your files belong to in relation to the remote project root.
If a file is outside of the TM Project file path it is uploaded to the root of the remote path you set in the Remote Connection Settings dialog as of v2.3 of FTP/SSH Bundle.

Saving FTP in windows
Hi Bernhard,
in Windows I'm using Fling FTP (http://www.nchsoftware.com/ftp/index.html) to auto-save the files in FTP server while I save the file in Windows and it is working pretty well. It detects automatically changes in the files you want and send to the FTP Server!

Port to Windows
I tried using Fling as mentioned above but have serious problems uploading from a network drive. So I've decided to port this very useful bundle to e editor. I'll eventually add it as a project here: http://code.google.com/p/ebundles/ probably in a couple of weeks.

Hello, and may i thank you for your good work in designing and keeping this bundle.
I find it works as expected. Recently I have jst found that it wont upload files whose names have seperated words. Eg. 'My Filename', but will handle 'MyFileneame'
The tooltip output is like this:
- ftp: local: My/: no such file or directory
- ftp: local: filename.txt: no such file or directory
So its breaking the name up. Is there any light on this? John P.

One little thing - I tend not to use formal Textmate projects, preferring to use the ad hoc projects instead (I can't remember the precise terminology, but the projects created by just dragging a folder into Textmate). I noticed that this bundle doesn't work too well with that, and made a modification:
helper_functions.php, line 15 - this used to be:
$PROJECT_DIR = dirname($_ENV['TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH']);
I changed it to:
TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY appears to yield the appropriate containing folder for the project, and now this works perfectly for me.
I would suggest first checking TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY, then falling back to dirname(TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH), then falling back to dirname(TM_FILENAME), perhaps.

TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY is not usable every time
TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH is not set because your "ad hoc" project is not saved already.
The problem with TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY is: It contains the path to the top-level folder in the project drawer. If there is no folder because you only dropped files onto the project drawer TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY contains the directory path of the first file in the drawer. If your first file was saved somewhere in a sub directory of your ad hoc project TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY suddenly contains the sub dir path to the file but not the path you actually expected. At this point using TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY fails.
That's why I only use TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH or the path to the current file (TM_DIRECTORY) as a fallback. Using TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY as a fallback may work or not depending of the use of the project drawer.
Just save your project before using this bundle and you are fine. Let me know if you know something that may convince me to use TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY :)

Good point, however
That's a very good point - I hadn't thought of that!
However, this plugin as-is (without the changes I made) wasn't too usable for me, as I would've had to set the ftp configuration for every subdirectory of my 'ad hoc' project - as far as I know, anyway.
Perhaps there's a way to support both - what about checking to see if TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY is a prefix of TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH (i.e. the current file is within the project directory); if so, then all is well; otherwise, the situation you describe has occurred, and it's best to use dirname(TM_PROJECT_FILEPATH).

ssh not working by default
At first I was puzzled by this error:
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Permission denied, please try again.
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Permission denied, please try again.
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/misc/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
Then I realized you need to set up public key authentication. here's how to do it:
on REMOTE machine:
make sure you have ~/.ssh directory
if you don't, run:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
it will create one with correct permissions
on LOCAL machine:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
if file .ssh/authorized_keys2 exists on remote machine then append to it, otherwise do this on LOCAL machine:
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub email@example.com:.ssh/authorized_keys2
that's it!
now make sure that on your LOCAL machine file .ssh/id_rsa is secure!! if anyone copies it, they can get into your remote server without passwords

Use a password for the key
One note: In the
ssh-keygen -t rsa step you get asked to enter a pass phrase for your SSH key. Don't miss that. You will be asked by MacOS to enter it once you want to use the key.
BTW: The need for public key authentication when using SSH is mentioned in the article above too.

remote file not found.tm_dialog
Hello Bernhard,
I'm getting an error as soon as I fill in the Remote Connection Settings window. It says "remote file not found.tm_dialog"
This is fresh install of textmate. Am I missing anything?

Don't have a glue where this
Don't have a glue where this message comes from. Neither TextMate nor FTP/SSH Bundle does contain it.
May be you mean Remote settings file not found.? This is a standard note when opening the Settings window. It is probably somewhat useless at this point. Don't forget to create a TextMate Project before creating the Remote Settings for FTP/SSH. It will not work without a TextMate Project.

Snow Leopard FIX
Hey everyone. I know Bernhard said he would release a fix that addresses the $_ENV problem, but I figured out a way to make the fix myself pretty quickly (about 5 minutes) and thought I'd share:
- Login to post comments
tm_dialog "property list invalid for format"
It still doesn't work for me. I've made a fresh installation of TextMate 1.5.9 (1510) with FTP_SSH_v2.3.tmbundle.zip on my Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and I always get:
Remote settings file not found.tm_dialog: property list invalid for format { ... }
I've followed the two fix on Let's Make It Go (http://www.letsmakeitgo.com/blog/textmate-ftp-ssh-bundle-snow-leopard-fix/35/) replacing variables_order = "GPCS" with variables_order = "GPCSE" and doing a global find and replace of the regular expression \$_ENV\['([A-Z_]+)'\] with getenv('$1')
No way.
What else should I try?
Thank you

Hurricane Arthur increases rip current risks
As Arthur moves up the East Coast this week, lifeguards and weather experts warn visitors to be aware of rip currents and dangerous surf.
Rip currents are narrow, powerful channels of water that move away from the shore, Brad Reinhart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington, N.C., told USA TODAY Network. They occur when there are a lot of waves crashing directly on the shore, he said.
There will be a high risk of rip currents in Wilmington on Thursday when the storm is closest to the beaches, Reinhart said, and an increased risk for several days after it passes.
"Basically, you get a lot of wave energy that piles up water along the shoreline, and that water has to go somewhere," he said. The water that has "piled up" then rushes back out into the ocean through breaks in between sandbars, creating rip currents. People who are caught in them are pulled away from the shore along with the water.
More than 100 people die each year from drowning because of rip currents, according to the U.S. Lifesaving Association. That number may be even higher, according to Reinhart.
If a swimmer is caught in a rip current, experts offer this advice:
•Stay calm. A swimmer's first instinct is to try to swim back to the beach, but in doing so, you run the risk of just making yourself more tired.
•Swim parallel to the beach. Rip currents are generally pretty narrow. If you're able to get out of the current, you'll have no resistance to swim back to the beach.
Rip currents vary in strength, and weak ones occur every day at the beach, Reinhart said. "Most days they don't pose a great danger to your average, capable swimmer," he said, adding that swimmers should always be cautious, regardless.
Lifeguards are trained to identify rip currents from their stands, according to Tom Gill, a spokesperson for the U.S. Lifesaving Association.
"They can get people out of them before they're even pulled backwards, and if they are pulled backwards, they can respond quickly," he said.
It doesn't take a tropical storm to cause an increased risk of rip currents, Reinhart said. Dangerous rip currents can happen even when it's sunny out and appears to be an otherwise beautiful day.
Contrary to popular belief, rip currents do not pull swimmers under the water, Gill said, only away from shore. Swimmers exhaust themselves from fighting the current, then go under.
"The No. 1 thing is to not panic. If you can stay on top of the water, you can survive a rip current," Gill said.

Can anyone recommend a good way to monitor memory usage? I am running out of memory on my VPS and want an easy way to determine what app might be the cause of this.
When the system reboots, Virtuozzo displays that only about 54% of my memory is being used, but as the day goes on, I see 100% usage and am no longer able to access specific system resources. The only way that I have been able to solve the problem is by frequently rebooting the VPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Matt and Trey should just end South park
These guys just need to end the series and ride off into the sunset to go make more award winning Broadway shows (Yeah, like lightning will strike twice?) and be done with it. They are doing a great disservice to the series presently. Either re-invest yourselves into the well loved and "proven" series or quit the series and stop wasting our time.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
I also hated it when the guys killed off Veronica Crabtree and Ms. Chokesondick, and, more recently, needlessly and thoughtlessly destroyed the 'City Wok guy' character in the ridiculously BAD 'City Sushi' episode in Season 15.
I would say Parker and Stone need to 'sh*t or get off the pot', but as they've been getting off the pot to sh*t in our faces for several seasons now, I'd have to change that to 'just get off the pot'--South Park has been so bad over the past 3-4 seasons, I wouldn't be surprised to hear they've switched to meth--that would at least explain why they've been applying what they 'didn't learn' from BASEKETBALL, to their Magnum Opus 'South Park'.
My turning (away) point came with Season 15, especially Episode 7 ("You're Getting Old")--nothing says a big EFF-YOU, FANS, like sitting through an episode viewing how everything looks in Stan's 'World of sh*t' (spewing at the camera most of the time).
Lovely--they've been covering for lack of substance (as in, 'the funny') since Season 14, and before, by depicting some of the most god-awful acts of extreme, over-the-top violence, and they show no signs of slowing their big long 'departure'.
I've been privately speculating that both Matt and Trey fully deposed themselves of all creative influence in the show beginning somewhere along Season 13, and ending finally sometime midway or at end of Season 14.
What's next? Oh, more Broadway I'm sure--there's always Scientology.
I haven't bought a single season of the last 3 (every one before it, though!).

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
I think fans need to realize that Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone "raised the bar" so high, especially during seasons 3-9, that expecting to maintain that level of excellence is unfair to them, and nearly impossible. I mean they have put out so many classic, even LEGENDARY episodes over the years, that I feel we should be grateful for sharing their comedy with us, the captive audience.
Been a fan since day one. I am sad there is only three seasons left. Peace.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
While each episode usually has a few gems, they lack consistency throughout, so it's like you're watching a "meh" episode with a few good parts as opposed to a GOOD episode with a few "meh" parts.
These guys are in their 40's now, and while they usually land at least ONE grand slam per season, lately they're striking out more often than not. I don't think they can maintain the commitment they once could, nor do I believe they have the same judgement they once did.
Been a hell of a run though.
Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
I think they might need that mid-season run to keep things fresh in their minds. Hopefully, they'll find a way to deal with its absence.
I don't want South Park to end. When it's good, it's very good.

Yeah, well, your opinion is not everybody's opinion. I love the majority of multi-part episodes. I actually can't think of any that I haven't enjoyed, including Black Friday.
a crutch these guys turn to ever more often in recent seasons for 'filler'
The multi-part episodes started in season three. Approximately half the seasons contain them, if you count two-parters as well as trilogies. I'm not sure your statement holds much water.
And if they are actually occurring more often lately, maybe it's because Trey Parker has grown some as a writer and occasionally needs more than twenty minutes to tell a story.
I don't understand all the negativity on this board. Some of us still enjoy the show. If you hate it so much, stop talking about it all the time.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
And even when they didn't do any from season 5 thru season 9, there were still multi-episode character arcs like Mr. Garrison's sexual identity or Fatass getting on Kyle's case about the Passion of the Christ.
I'll respectfully disagree with anyone who thinks season 17 or any other season in recent years is grounds to end the show. In my opinion, they show has been about the same over the last 8 seasons. Each one has a couple of dynamite episodes, a few good ones and a few clunkers.
For season 17, I thought 4 or 5 were damn good. That's about on pace with of my opinions of the more recent seasons (taking into account the smaller sample size).
After all these years I still find more to applaud about the show than I do stuff to criticize.
Therefore I must reject the suggestion of the thread title.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
The second half of Season 10 was horrible. A lot of it was just plain bad, and another half of it had technical errors, plus we got that horrible 3 parter.
Season 11 both the first and second halfs made up for it. Season 12, 13, 14 and 15 were pretty solid. Season 16 and obviously Season 17 are Book Of Mormon hangovers., but even with that they were still pretty solid, 17 having fewer episodes so it's harder to judge.
It seems those people who like the Season 1-3 fart joke humor don't like the modern direction it's going into. You should note, Matt & Trey are not in their 20s anymore, neither are the rest of the staff.
But I can tell you that these guys can still make good episodes. Either with good storytelling or good laughs, sometimes both. Every episode isn't for everybody.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
Sure, the show isn't as good as some of the historically great episodes, but it's still funny and a great satirical comedy. South Park manages to be relevant, topical, and sometimes even reflective, when shows such as the Simpsons or Family Guy fail to hit the mark as often as Matt and Trey do.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
Personally I still enjoy South Park, and as long as they keep making them I'll keep watching them. I haven't seen The Book of Mormon yet but would like to, primarily because it was written by the creators of South Park. Matt and Trey have provided me with enough solid entertainment where I'll take an interest in whatever they do next, whether it's a cartoon, a game, a live show, or something else.

Re: Matt and Trey should just end South park
Yet I don't think they should end it.. I still tune in and enjoy their recent seasons although all of my favorite episodes are in the past. I kind of like how they touch on current events, and put their viewpoint on it. The recent Xbox One vs PS4 episodes made me laugh, because it was somewhat relateable.
I think Matt and Trey should end South Park when they feel they are bored with it, just like they have been saying. They don't enjoy the process but they enjoy the outcome, and why should they end something that they still want to keep going with?
South Park is not what it used to be, but personally, I think they are just riding their ideas fully on current events, because they are running out of some twisted original ideas. I mean I liked recent episodes like "Eat,Pray,Queef" and the second story in "1%" where Cartman kills his stuffed animals. Those kind of episodes make me laugh more then the current event ones, because it seems more original.

KIEV, Ukraine -- Ukraine's prime minister, seeking to ward off Russian pressure, urged Moscow on Wednesday to accept his country's drive towards a new trade relationship with the European Union as a "reality".
Clearly alluding to Kremlin threats of possible retaliatory trade moves, Mykola Azarov said:
"The whole world is changing, the global system of economic relations. But to build a fence to protect yourself from changes using artificial barriers is simply pointless."
The former Soviet republic hopes to sign key agreements with the European Union in November, including one on free trade, which will mark a shift in its traditional close economic relationship with Russia, its biggest single trading partner.
The prospect of EU goods entering Ukraine, free of import duties, and then being re-exported to Russia and posing competition for Russian goods has caused alarm in the Kremlin and calls for Kiev to halt its drive towards Europe.
Firing a warning shot towards Kiev, Russia this month imposed laborious extra customs checks on Ukrainian imports over several days, causing delays at the border.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Russia-led Customs Union, which also includes Belarus and Kazakhstan, might take "protective measures" to defend its markets.
A Kremlin aide told Ukraine on Tuesday it would lose its "strategic partner" status if it signs association agreements with the 28-member EU bloc at Vilnius, Lithuania, in November.
The pressure has led to talk of a trade war in Kiev and injected new tension into Moscow's relationship with Ukraine, which has pleaded unsuccessfully for a lower price for strategic supplies of Russian gas to bring relief to its economy.
It comes at a time when Ukraine faces record payments to service foreign debt, including to the International Monetary Fund, and when foreign currency reserves are below the safety threshold of three months worth of imports, analysts say.
Ukraine's economy relies on exports of steel, chemicals and grain.
More than 60 percent of its exports go to the former Soviet market, with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan the most important.
But Ukrainian big business sees greater prosperity in European markets and has resisted entreaties by Moscow to join the Customs Union - a move which would be incompatible with a free trade deal with Europe.
Azarov, who met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow on Monday to try to calm Russian concerns over trade, told his cabinet that no matter what the circumstances were, Ukraine wanted to increase the volume and quality of trade with Russia in the future.
For that reason, he said, "drawing up new dividing lines is not in the interests of our peoples."
He said a 10-year grace period after the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU would give Ukraine and Russia the chance to adjust to the new reality, according to the principles of the World Trade Organisation of which both are members.
He said Ukraine had accepted the formation of the Customs Union on its borders and the plans to upgrade it from January 2015.
"In the same way, after signing the Association Agreement with the EU, Ukraine will create a free trade zone with the EU - this also has to be inevitably accepted as a reality," he said.
It is by no means a foregone conclusion that the association and free trade agreements will be signed in Vilnius in November.
Many EU member states are disappointed at the pace of democratic reform in Ukraine since President Viktor Yanukovich was elected in February 2010 and are pressing particularly for the release from jail of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, his fiercest political adversary.
Tymoshenko was jailed in late 2011 for seven years for abuse of office after what the EU says was a politically-motivated trial.
Speaking in Brussels on Tuesday after meeting Yanukovich's point man on European integration issues, EU enlargement commissioner Stefan Fuele indicated the Tymoshenko question had been broached as well as Ukraine's progress on democratic reform to meet specific criteria laid down by the EU.
These relate to reforming the judiciary, ending politically-motivated prosecutions and improving electoral legislation.
"I have emphasized ... the need to ensure determined action and tangible progress on all the benchmarks set out," Fuele told journalists.

In the first week of 1934, Fenway Park's ambitious reconstruction suffered a dramatic setback when a five-hour fire burnt down parts of the newly-constructed left-field grandstand and center-field bleachers. Owner Tom Yawkey persevered and employed union labor to have a dramatically-upgraded Fenway Park ready for Opening Day 1934. With several new players, the Red Sox also improved and finished with their first non-losing season since the team's World Series championship in 1918. In the fall, the Boston Redskins had a successful Fenway Park season too, winning four of seven games at home during a busy autumn of football for the ballpark.
Record: 76-76, 4th in American League
Manager: Stanley R. (Bucky) Harris
Attendance: 610,640
In the first full year of Yawkey ownership, the Red Sox reconstructed their roster and their ballpark. Having undergone a dramatic makeover during the offseason, the remodeled Fenway Park was unveiled to the general public in the annual exhibition game between the Red Sox and Braves on April 14, 1934, before officially opening three days later.
In 1934, Fenway Park was also home to many new players and a new manager, Bucky Harris. Among just the pitching staff, General Manager Eddie Collins had recently added Lefty Grove, Wes Ferrell, Rube Walberg, Fritz Ostermueller, and Herb Pennock, who returned to the Red Sox after 11 years with the Yankees. The new arms helped the team reach .500 for the first time since 1918.
Unfortunately, Grove was diagnosed with a sore arm before the season began and though Connie Mack offered to take him back, the Red Sox elected to keep him. Grove was 8-8 in 1934, but bounced back to win 20 games in 1935. Ferrell led the team in victories in 1934 with a 14-5 record and 3.63 ERA, despite not pitching until May 30.
Roy Johnson and Billy Werber were the stars on offense. Johnson drove in 119 runs and batted .320, while Werber hit .321 with 11 home runs. The Red Sox also posted their first positive run differential since 1919, scoring 820 and allowing 775.
Yawkey was pleased with the results of his second season but he wasn't done yet. Before October was over, he acquired Washington player/manager Joe Cronin for $225,000 and shortstop Lyn Lary. By the end of 1934, Yawkey's total expenditure on the Red Sox (including Fenway Park renovations) already totaled around $3,000,000 and his investments generated enthusiasm with attendance leaping from 268,715 in 1933 to 610,640 in 1934, including a packed house for Babe Ruth's final game at Fenway Park on August 12, 1934.
In the first half of the 20th Century, the Red Sox and Braves (who were briefly renamed the Boston Bees in the late 1930s) frequently played exhibition games against each other in what was dubbed the "City Series". These games were always played in early to mid-April as a way to kick off the baseball season in Boston. Over the years, the games also saw the debut of certain Fenway Park legends, including Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, and Joe Cronin. While the Red Sox and Braves/Bees franchise played pretty evenly at Fenway Park in the earliest years of the series, the Red Sox dominated the late 1940s and the first few years of the 1950s, going unbeaten in their last 11 Fenway Park games against their Boston counterparts, before the Braves moved to Milwaukee following the 1952 season.

Just five days into the 1934 calendar year, a raging inferno interrupted Tom Yawkey's ambitious offseason renovation of Fenway Park. Though steel and concrete stands had been added throughout the ballpark during the winter months of 1933, wooden forms remaining underneath the bleachers provided the kindling for a ferocious, five-hour blaze that quickly spread to surrounding buildings. When the flames were extinguished, the new seating areas down the left-field line and in the center-field bleachers had been destroyed. Though only a portion of the damage was covered by insurance, an undaunted Yawkey redoubled the team's construction efforts, pledging to have the park ready by Opening Day. With a greatly-augmented workforce, the club quickly re-started construction and completed the massive reconstruction on time.
When Fenway Park opened to the general public in April 1934, it contained over 7,000 new seats and had a dramatically-altered look. In place of the 10-foot embankment known as Duffy's Cliff and the 25-foot high fence above it, the new left-field wall stood 37-feet high and featured the first electronically-operated scoreboard in baseball. The grandstand was extended down the left-field line, replacing the space once occupied by the wooden bleachers that had burnt down in 1926.
Yawkey also renovated the right-field seating area, creating a pavilion with bench seating. He also added new seats near the field, moving home plate forward in the process. The renovations to the park reduced home run distances to all fields (from 320 feet to 312 in left; 468 feet to 420 in center; and 358 feet to 334 in right) and the distance to the backstop was shortened from 68 feet to 60. The ballpark also received a "Dartmouth Green" paint job throughout, taking on the characteristic color that it is known for today.
On April 17, 1934, an Opening Day crowd of nearly 33,000 packed into the reconstructed Fenway Park. Yawkey had spent over a million Depression-era dollars to transform Fenway Park and he was widely praised in Boston because his work had been performed by union labor. Fenway Park's reconstruction was the second largest contracting project after the Mystic-Tobin Bridge in Depression-era Boston.
On June 30, 1934, the All-Boston Interscholastic team beat its All-Springfield counterpart in a 5-4, 10-inning battle at Fenway Park. The following month, a field day drew 11,000 young people who competed in fungo hitting, throwing and base running competitions.

Dorsum Oppel is a wrinkle ridge of the Moon in Mare Crisium. 2 days after full moon is the best moment to observe it. It is a very large formation and the landscape along is quite impressive, full of small craters, tiny mountains and the smooth floor of Mare Crisium. It is important to reach a high magnification to enjoy the view (150x at least).
My setup is a 6-inch telescope, but I bet it is possible to observe it comfortably with a 4-inch refractor.
The bright and overexposed crater is Proclus. I have to work harder the dynamic range issue next time.
Swift and Peirce are the pair of craters in the upper side of the picture, near the lunar terminator. Below Peirce should be visible a 2 kms wide craterlet, but unfortunately my picture cannot yield such a resolution. According to a quick calculation, 3 kms is the smallest visible feature in theis image, and that corresponds to 1.5 arcseconds. A bit far still to the maximum theoretical resolution of a 6-inch telescope (that is around 0.7 arcseconds)
Yerkes is the big ghostly crater in the right side. Apparently there is a central peak in its center. I have been looking for a confirmation of the existence of that peak, but I haven't found any reliable source where it is mentioned. Any hint here, I would be thankful…

For the meaning and orgins of some specific Sephardic names, go to the page on meaning and orgins. However it helps to read this page before going there.
The origins of ancient Jewish names go back to the original structure of Jewish society. Ancient Jewish society was structured into three societal groups. The top level was that of the tribe (mateh or shebet) ruled by a patriarchal ancestor, (later a judge and later still an elected king) and the priesthood in matters that were in their pervue. Below that came the extended family or clan (Mishpacha or aloof) governed by the elders (zekenim) or leaders aloofim. This was made up of related families within the tribe. The third level was the group living within the same tent ohel) or house (bayit) - what we would call today the family unit.
In those early days the only proof of belonging to a tribe and thus sharing in its assets lay in the carefully maintained lists of generations. These official lists were called the Sepher Toledot (book of generations) and later in history, after the exile, the Sepher Yohasin (from yachas, to enroll) and were considered of the utmost importance.
When some of these lists of generations were lost in the turmoil after the Babylonian exile it was a cause for great anguish and fervent efforts to reconstruct them. Shortly thereafter knowledge of law and science became of greater importance than descent from royalty and this was repeatedly stated in the Talmud as in "a bastard (mamzer) educated in the law is nobler than an ignorant high priest"". Certain families then began to take surnames based on notable ancestors (see below).
As we see the individual's identity was closely tied to individual's name and his genealogy (sephirim toledot or yohasin). The family name denoted the individual's belonging to one or the other families, clans or tribes. Thus members of the nation of Israel were bene Israel; those of the Gad tribe bene Gad (or ha Gadi); those of the Sasson or Zakai families were ben Sasson or ben Zakai, or just Sasson or Zakai, and so on.
Taking it to the next level down surnames could specify the individual's father as in Shlomo ben Maimon ben Hasdai. Sometimes, especially if the ancester was a notable person that became the new family name as in Ben David (ibn Daoud) a Sephardic family claiming descent from King David.
Individual Names
Jewish first names were inextricably linked to the individual's spiritual identity not only through life but also after death and was considered an alter ego of the individual. In Ashkenazi tradition naming a child after a living relative was avoided for fear the angel of death might mistakenly take the child instead of the older namesake. Sephardim imbued by mysticism and Kabbalah were careful to choose names that would not portend bad destinies. Both traditions saw the name as linked to the individual's destiny. Name changes were infrequent and undertaken in cases of grave illness and similar and followed specific rituals. An error in spelling a name in a religious divorce document (get) would render the divorce religiously invalid.
It should be noted that changes in the individual colloquial name or nickname did not alter the Jewish name which represented the spiritual identity. The importance of the individual Jewish name in Jewish tradition is also repeatedly illustrated in the bible, by admonishments to voice the name of G-d, terms such as the "Holy Name", the implications seen in the change of names of Abram to Abraham, of Jacob to Israel, etc.
Common Sephardic Naming conventions
If a grandparent (paternal or maternal) or sibling was deceased, his/her name would often take precedence over the living relative. Some Spanish exiles named children after their own parents.
Evolution of names
In Biblical days, patronymic names revealing genealogic ancestry only start appearing after Abraham. Prior to Abraham the bible does not mention the individual's ancestral line. From Abraham on these lineages were carefully maintained until Talmudic times and after which they became disrupted by the dispersal of Jews in to the diaspora.
Biblical individual names were given with an express purpose to describe an individual's hoped destiny or characteristics. King David named his son Shlomo (from shalom, peace) because he hoped he would transmit to him a kingdom in peace. Adam named his wife Hava (life) because she was to be the mother of all living people. Other names during the biblical era incorporated the name of G_d as in Eliahu or Adoniram or were based on animal names as in Deborah (bee), Yonah (pigeon), Yael (mountain goat).
In the Babylonian period it became customary, especially for the leadership of the exiled Jews, to acquire Aramaic names - the language of the Babylonians. This could be done by adding the suffixes
In the Roman era, Romans carried three names. Based on the Aryan cult of the ancestor and maintenance of family hearth fires, these names consisted of the agnomen (the individuals's own name), the cognomen (usually the father's name) and the ancestral nomen (common ancester or guild name).
This system was demolished with the devellopment of Christianity which placed the emphasis on the individual as a member of a new universal family. From then on the babtismal or "christian name" became the only name of importance and the only names used. Around the XII century patronymic names started to return in Europe but they were now related to land (de Valois), descriptive (Carpenter, Butler) or similar. So now the individual's name became the "name" and the other the "surname". In Spain, where arab-jewish influence was significant, these new name structures retained their old original designations and were called apellido (name meaning family name) and nombre (first name).
Among Jews, the dispersal into the Diaspora and loss of continuity in the carefully maintained genealogies left gaps that precluded for most the ability to identify with one of the twelve tribes of Israel except for the Levites and Cohens. It became the habit to take on the name of a notable ancestor as the family name. this occured even when the genealogy was known. An example is the Ben Maimon family named after Rabbi Mosheh ben Maimon whose genealogy could be traced back to Obadiah.

Spelling and other Variations
As most genealogists know, spelling is an invention and pre-occupation of the 20th century. Prior to that numerous spellings could and were used for the same name.
Among Sephardic names, these are some common variations of the same name from which you can deduce others:
(The spanish "ç" with a cedilla under it has a sound similar to "s")

Open March 2 – April 1 2015
With their hands and minds hard at work and sweat on their brows, American workers perform a diverse array of jobs to power our society. Whether we work for professional satisfaction and personal growth or to ensure the well-being of ourselves and our families, work is a part of nearly every American's life. Office workers, factory workers, homemakers, truckers and the millions more who keep the nation going through their work make great contributions not only to industry, but also to American culture.
The diversity of the American workforce is one of its strengths, providing an opportunity to explore how people of all races and ethnicities identified commonalities and worked to knock down barriers in the professional world. And, finally, the exhibition shows how we identify with work – as individuals and as communities. Whether you live in "Steel Town, USA" or wear a uniform each day, work assigns cultural meanings and puts us and our communities in a larger context.
The Way We Worked, adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives, explores how work became such a central element in American culture by tracing the many changes that affected the workforce and work environments over the past 150 years. The exhibition draws from the Archives' rich collections to tell this compelling story.

NHL draft: Colborne, Winkler, Donovan, Carle drafted
Prized University of Denver recruit Joe Colborne was among four incoming Front Range collegians to be selected in the NHL draft.
Colborne, Canada's 2008 junior-A player of the year, was selected in the first round (16th overall) on Friday by the Boston Bruins.
Assuming the 6-foot-5 power forward suits up for the Pioneers, he will be the second first-round NHL pick in DU history, and first since defenseman Craig Redmond went No. 6 overall in 1984.
Colborne couldn't be reached Saturday. Before the draft Friday, he said he would play for DU. However, the Bruins will retain his professional rights and he could sign with them at any time while in college.
Forward Scott Winkler of Asker, Norway, who has deferred his enrollment to Colorado College until 2009, was selected in the third round (89th overall) by the Dallas Stars.
Defenseman Matt Donovan of Edmond, Okla., a high school senior-to-be that will enroll at DU in the fall of 2009, was taken in the fourth round (96th overall) by the New York Islanders.
David Carle, who will attend DU this fall but is medically incapable of playing, was taken by the Tampa Bay Lightening in the seventh round (203rd overall).

Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Optical Parables
Getty Exhibition Celebrates Master Mexican Photograher as He Turns 100
November 13, 2001 - February 17, 2001
Press Preview: Tuesday, November 13, 2001
October 30, 2001
Los Angeles--Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Optical Parables is an exhibition of more than 100 rare photographs celebrating the Mexican artist long hailed as one of the great masters of 20th-century photography. On view from November 13, 2001 through February 17, 2002 at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, this compelling exhibition anticipates Alvarez Bravo's 100th birthday on February 4, 2002, and highlights work that Alvarez Bravo produced in Mexico from the 1920s to the 1970s. Also included are photographs by his contemporaries Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, and Paul Strand who worked in Mexico in the 1920s and '30s. Alvarez Bravo is expected to visit Los Angeles for the opening.
Weston Naef, curator of photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum, comments, "Manuel Alvarez Bravo has opened more eyes to the potential of photography as a work of art than any other living artist in all the Americas. The Getty is extremely fortunate to hold and now exhibit many of his finest works. This centennial celebration of the artist's birth is a unique opportunity to honor his distinguished career and to share with the public his power to observe the totally unexpected in his surroundings."
The Getty Museum holds the largest institutional collection in the United States, and perhaps the world, of Alvarez Bravo prints made contemporaneous with their negatives. This exhibition features many of the Museum's holdings and highlights recent gifts and photographs on loan from Los Angeles collectors Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. The exhibition is co-curated by Roberto Tejada of Buffalo, New York; and Mikka Gee Conway, curatorial assistant in the Getty's department of photographs. Tejada, formerly Octavio Paz's assistant, is an art critic, scholar, and Alvarez Bravo expert who prepared the manuscript for the Getty's forthcoming In Focus book on the artist.
The Artist's Evolution
Manuel Alvarez Bravo (b. 1902) emerged as part of a talented generation of artists with ties to the avant-garde in post-revolutionary Mexico. Throughout eight decades, Alvarez Bravo has continued to make insightful artistic and socially relevant photographs that interpret the complexities of modern Mexican culture. The Getty exhibition traces Alvarez Bravo's evolution as an artist, from his early pictorialist-inspired beginnings, to his refined formalist style, and his later, emotion-driven imagery.
A self-taught intellectual and philosopher, Alvarez Bravo expresses his views visually. His work reflects the radical changes of the era, both illustrating the passage of time and capturing unexpected moments of everyday life in Mexico City and the countryside. He demonstrates a remarkable ability to create photographs that blend social consciousness with poetic imagery. The enigmatic, almost literary, titles of his photographs add to their mystique. His works transform ordinary shapes of hair, hands, or books into protagonists in a dream-world tableau.
Alvarez Bravo began photographing during Mexico's creative ferment of the 1920s and '30s, when the promise of a new, post-war idealistic order attracted a host of international artists including Russian film director Sergei Eisenstein and French surrealist writer André Breton. The photographers Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Paul Strand, and Henri Cartier-Bresson also worked in Mexico City and helped influence his style. Modotti in particular urged the young Alvarez Bravo to pursue his craft. The exhibition will feature selected works by these photographers whose work flourished during the cultural renaissance following the social and political turmoil of Mexico's 10-year revolution.
In the 1930s and '40s, Alvarez Bravo's work evolved as he experimented with different forms. Like Paris photographer Eugène Atget (1856-1927), Alvarez Bravo became fascinated by city street scenes, signs, vendors, and storefronts. Against the backdrop of Mexico City and the contrasts between the visible reminders of indigenous civilizations and the rapidly changing modern landscape, Alvarez Bravo refined his unique photographic style. Many of his works capture the contradictions between urban life and personal solitude. His photograph Obrero en huelga asesinado (Striking Worker Murdered) especially blurs the line between high art and documentation.
During this time, Alvarez Bravo was hired to take photographs for the influential Mexican Folkways magazine and traveled throughout Mexico documenting customs, festivities, and folklore. He went above and beyond the task--his photographs of contrasting shapes in outdoor burial sites, walls, roadside shrines, the cluttered yard of a tinker, as well as the juxtaposition of people, animals, and their surroundings, question perceptions of reality.
Some of Alvarez Bravo's most stirring works explore the surrealist themes of sleep, dreams, death, and the erotic. Although he never considered himself a surrealist, these qualities are demonstrated in the Getty exhibition's 1938 photograph of a woman wrapped in strips of gauze bandages, La buena fama durmiendo (Good Reputation Sleeping), that Breton commissioned for the cover of a surrealist exhibition catalogue.
Related Publication:
Concurrent with the exhibition, the Getty is publishing a new book about Alvarez Bravo in its In Focus photography series. It will be available for $17.50 (paperback) at the Getty bookstore, online at www.getty.edu/bookstore, or by calling 800-223-3431. The In Focus series highlights the Museum's significant holdings of works by major photographers. Each volume contains photographs with commentaries, an introduction, a chronology, and a transcription of a colloquium on the photographer's life and work. Other 20th-century photographers featured in the series are Eugène Atget, August Sander, André Kertész, László Moholy-Nagy, Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, and Doris Ulmann.

For the second annual Frieze New York art fair (May 10–13), curator Cecilia Alemani has assembled a series of installations specific to the event's Randall's Island home. "We wanted to focus on those spaces where people can take a break from the demanding rhythms of the fair," says Alemani, whose decidedly convivial lineup revolves around eating, drinking, and live theater. So if you're hankering for a decadent cocktail amid all the dealmaking, find your way to artist Liz Glynn's '20s-inspired speakeasy Blackbox (Bar) from 2012, which will be hidden in the passageways and accessible only with randomly distributed keys. Or, you can take in a live performance while resting on one of Mateo Tannatt's colorful sculptures-cum-benches (at left is his piece Studio Agony No. 2, 2012). Those in need of some quiet, meanwhile, should head for Andra Ursuta's "art cemetery," a space for the crowd to commune with spirits. Of course, the real godsend is Food, an homage to the SoHo restaurant of the same name made famous by artists Gordon Matta-Clark and Carol Goodden in the '70s, which will feature a rotating cast of artist chefs who either cooked at the original hot spot or whose practice involves food. The price of entry? An empty belly and an open mind.

5 Social Media Trends for 2017
The digital marketing world is rarely predictable, and social media least of all. We can't predict which dog video will go viral, which dance move will take off, or which 60 second DIY clip will be shared by at least 15 of our Facebook friends. But we can predict that video will play an essential…
