The Museo del Prado opened on June 11, 2003, TIZIANO, the most extensive exhibition devoted to the artists work since the one held in Venice in 1935, and the first monographic exhibition devoted to his work in Spain. Featuring a total of 65 works, it includes more than 30 paintings that have never previously been seen in Spain, such as the Venus of Urbino, which will be shown outside Italy for the first time in its history.
MADRID, SPAIN.- Between 1508 and 1510, the years when he produced his first works, and his death in 1576, Titian created one of the greatest oeuvres in western art, was the most acclaimed painter of his day and the protagonist of a type of painting that emphasised colour as its main expressive value in a way that would have enormous consequences for the art of the future. The Museo del Prado has the finest collection of works by the artist as a result of his unique relationship with the Spanish monarchy. It has now organised this monographic exhibition, one of the most complete ever to be devoted to the artist, comprising 65 paintings organised into five sections. These include the Venus of Urbino (Florence, Galleria degli Uffizi), Salomé (Rome, Galleria Doria Pamphili), La Schiavona (London, The National Gallery), Man with a Glove (Paris, Musée du Louvre), Tarquin and Lucretia (Cambridge, The Fitzwilliam Museum), The Flaying of Marsyas (Kromeriz, Archbishops Palace), as well as the masterpieces by the artist in the Museo del Prados permanent collection. Giovanni Bellinis Feast of the Gods (Washington D.C., National Gallery of Art), which formed part of the spectacular group of mythologies that Titian painted for the Camerino dAlabastro in the Ducal palace in Ferrara, will be one of the highlights of the exhibition.
The close relationship between Titian and the paintings that make up the Museo del Prados collection is the direct result of his favoured status with the Spanish monarchy. This means that at the same time that the exhibition is taking place, the Museum also offers the visitor the opportunity to see works by the two greatest heirs to the tradition of the artist: Rubens and Velázquez, a privilege that no other museum can offer.
The exhibition curator, Miguel Falomir, Head of Department of Italian Renaissance Painting at the Museo del Prado, has devised an exhibition which combines a chronological arrangement (allowing for an analysis of Titians stylistic development and his use of innovative narrative techniques) with sections devoted to his working practices.
The arrangement of the exhibition
- Origins (up to 1516). This first section covers Titians earliest works and looks at his relationship with Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione and Sebastiano del Piombo, as well as the process by which he forged his own style.
- Apelles reborn (1516-1533). Giovanni Bellini died in 1516, making Titian the leading painter in Venice. He also made his first contacts with Alfonso dEste, Duke of Ferrara, resulting in the growth of his reptutation outside Venice. This process culminated in 1533 when Titian was knighted by Charles V. This section looks in detail at the Camerino dAlabastro, the most important mythological cycle painted in the first half of the 16th century. Giovanni Bellinis contribution to that cycle, the Feast of the Gods (Washington, National Gallery of Art), with its landscape repainted by Titian, will be exhibited for the first time in Spain.
- From Bologna to Augsburg (1533-1551). These two decades saw Titians lengthiest periods outside of Venice. In 1546-47 the artist went to Rome and worked for Pope Paul III, while in 1548 and 1551 he was summoned to Augsburg by Charles V. For these patrons he produced such mayor works as The Glory (Madrid, Museo del Prado). This section will emphasise the artists innovations in the field of portraiture, a genre that particularly contributed to his international reputation, as well as his attitude to other great contemporaries such as Michelangelo. It also looks at Titians response to the arrival in Venice of Mannerists such as Salviati and Vasari in the 1540s.
- The Reclining Nude and the poesie. Around 1551, Titian and Philip II must have discussed the project of the poesie in Augsburg. These were six mythological paintings intended to delight the senses, and which Titian would deliver to the Spanish king between 1553 and 1562. In addition, these work express various key concepts in Venetian art theory, such as the primacy of colour over design. This section, the only one in the exhibition that is not organised in a strictly chronological sense, includes other works, in particular the Venus of Urbino, which illustrate Titians key contribution to the reclining female nude.
- Late Titian (1554-1576). One of the largest sections in the exhibition along with the third one. It looks at the profound transformation which Titians painting underwent from the early 1550s, evident in formal aspects of his style, such as the use of a more subdued palette and an increasingly fluid brushstroke, as well as the emotional aspect, resulting in ever more expressive and dramatically intense works.
The Catalogue
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue written by leading European and American specialists, including: Charles Hope (Director of the Warburg Institute, London); Fernando Marías (Professor of the Universidad Autónoma, Madrid), Paul Hills (Professor of the Royal College of Art, London); Jennifer Fletcher (Professor of the Courthald Institute, London); Carmen Garrido (Head of the Technical Documentation Department at the Museo del Prado); David Rosand (Professor at Columbia University, New York); and the exhibition curator, Miguel Falomir, Head of Department of Italian Renaissance Painting at the Museo del Prado. Among its aims is to make available to scholars the results of recent research and investigation carried out at the Museo del Prado, including the restoration of fourteen paintings by the artist, such as the Gloria and Charles V at Mühlberg.

Unleashing the Potential for Economic Growth: Promoting Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency ExportsDecember 8, 2010
This post contains external links. Please review our external linking policy
Julius Svoboda is an International Trade Specialist in the Office of Energy and Environmental Industries at the International Trade Administration and works on industrial energy efficiency issues. Specifically, he coordinates the Energy Efficiency Initiative, a program that supports U.S. exporters of energy efficiency products.
Yesterday 24 of the 28 members of the newly appointed and created Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee met for the first time to discuss the state of this key sector, hash out their priorities for moving the needle forward to exact change, and make meaningful and productive recommendations to Gary Locke, the Secretary of Commerce.
The committee came about as a result of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Export Initiative. The Initiative was developed through the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee Working Group on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, which includes representatives from the Departments of Commerce, Energy, State, and Agriculture, as well as the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im), the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and the Office of the United States Trade Representative.
Although many of the Committee members are serving as advisors to form policy and practical recommendations for the first time, the thoughtfulness and intelligent discussions during the course of the meeting was evidence that they taking the responsibility of their appointment very seriously. That this Committee wants to have a measurable and constructive impact is clear, and their remarks impressed that upon policymakers like Secretary Locke that the industry needs to be given greater priority across the administration.
One message heard again and again during the meeting was a viable and robust domestic market here will help promote exports of U.S. goods and services. Growth markets want to see the technology in operation, and companies can't sell abroad what won't be bought at home. Leading by example will sell the products and services themselves—but the U.S. government needs to support renewable energy and energy efficiency research, development and adoption in the U.S.
The membership asked the Secretary for suggestions on the types of recommendations that he felt would be most constructive. The Secretary's answer was clear: "attach a metric to recommendations so that government can see how we are improving," he said "if we're doing C work, we need to know that, and if we're doing A work we need to know that too." Being able to measure the impact of policy will go a long way to knowing the best way to support the industry.
Representatives from the Departments of State and Energy, OPIC, Trade Development Agency, Ex-Im, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office all participated and briefed the committee members on activities within their organizations relating to renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The committee elected Karl Gawell, Executive Director of the Geothermal Energy Association to serve as their chairman and Tom Wirec Vice President of Membership & Corporate Relations of American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) to serve as vice chair.
As the committee continues to meet, I am looking forward to their discussions and recommendations and how that will all have an impact on the future of this industry.

Award-winning poet Danez Smith is celebrated for deft lines, urgent subjects, and performative power. Don't Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police—suspicion, violence, and grief are forgotten, replaced with the safety, love, and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith writes about desire, mortality—the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood—and an HIV-positive diagnosis. Smith confronts, praises, and rebukes America, where every day is too often a funeral and too rarely a miracle. University of Chicago sociologist, poet, artist, and educator Eve L. Ewing joins Danez in conversation.
This program is presented in partnership with Gallery Guichard and the Poetry Foundation.

The Christmas Truce
An incredible thing happened on Christmas Eve of 1914. During World War I, the trenches on the Western Front experienced something some would call miraculous. As the evening rolled in, shots and noise of war began to fade. German soldiers set out small trees decorated with lights and Christmas carols began to ring out from both the British and the German sides. Instruments could even be heard as the soldiers shared treats and cheer in celebration of the holiday.
At daylight, the German troops were seen walking across the "No Man's Land" to greet their opposing forces. They called "Merry Christmas" in their enemies' language and even brought presents as a sign of peace! Of course, this took the British troops by a bit of surprise, but soon enough they brought out gifts and shook hands with the enemy. Some accounts even say there was a friendly soccer match between the opposing sides.
What this day signifies is much more than just a Holiday truce. It goes beyond whether we celebrate Christmas or Hanukah or have different religious beliefs. This day proves that no matter what our differences are, there is always something that can unite us and we can find a way to set aside our conflicts, even for just a few moments to remember what that unifying factor really means to us.
I'm Forever Proud to have witnessed Forever Business Owners forget their differences, put aside backgrounds and beliefs and unite with one mission – to change people's lives all over the world. Forever is our shared belief. It's a great unifier between us that helps us do something that is even greater than we can know. Think about how many lives have changed over the last several decades from just one small plant and the power of your work around the world. It's beyond just helping people be healthier or gain financial freedom. Many of you have even dedicated your time and money to charitable organizations and to doing good in your communities. There is a lot of power in this unity.
Forever events are a great example of this unity. You just have to see the mix of cultures and languages for yourself. When I walk out on stage and see hundreds of different flags flying proud, the emotions really do hit me. Where do some of you even find flags that big? But, all jokes aside, it's like a scene out of a movie. An even more fantastic thought I have when I look out at the crowd is that we're all in that room together because of one reason - Forever.
I hope this story of the Christmas Truce gives you peace and inspires you to reach across borders, put away differences and come together to do something good this Holiday season. As you're celebrating with your families and ringing in the New Year, remember that you are Forever and through your work you are helping to unite the world through a love of Aloe and a belief in the Opportunity.
Happy Holidays to all!

Farmers and ranchers across the United States and throughout the world are already experiencing the repercussions of changing weather and climate. The impacts are particularly felt in the American west where declining water tables, increases in temperature, and a rise of pests and diseases moving into new areas have been linked to the changing climate.
Our ability to adapt through transformations in technology and environmental conditions will be a key factor in the future of agricultural production and economics. Reacting to these changes will require a broad-based effort from stakeholders across the environmental and agricultural communities.
On July 19, 2010, in Denver, Colorado, we are inviting members of the agricultural community to meet with representatives from the USDA and the White House Council on Environmental Quality in an effort to bring these stakeholders together. The objective of the one-day session is to help in developing Federal recommendations for adapting to climate change impacts. In addition to hearing about planning efforts and proposed adaptation strategies, farmers and ranchers will have the opportunity to contribute their feedback on how agricultural producers can adjust their operations to meet an unpredictable future.
The public meeting, Helping Agriculture Adapt to a Changing Climate, is organized by the USDA and co-hosted by American Farmland Trust and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. A draft agenda and additional information, as well as registration material, are all available online.
Please join us for the meeting and help us to spread the word to other interested parties, including farm groups, trade groups, commodity groups, agritech and agribusiness representatives, insurance representatives, environmental/conservation groups, and local/national land managers/producers. We look forward to seeing you soon in Denver!

This playground takes its name from the neighborhood of Mariner's Harbor, once a home for both active and retired sailors and their families. This neighborhood of quiet streets still has many of the homes built by these seamen, and Van Name, DeHart, and Van Pelt Avenues all bear the names of early area residents. Many of the first homes were built on a stretch of Richmond Terrace then known as "Captains' Row.'"

The fireplace is calling out to me. And you have to love the glittery, cottage-cheese ceiling in all of it's glory, not to mention the faux wood beams.
All of the furniture in this room is going bye bye, except for the super long (8ft) couch. It's really comfy; I'm going to have it reupholstered.

A mathematician from Morgan Freeman's show Through The Wormhole shows how fast an hypothetical zombie virus could spread around the world. The epidemic would be inevitable and cities would be overrun in weeks. If you don't feel that's worrying wait until you hear it from Freeman's epic voice.
I'm not a fan of zombies and I'm quite fed up with them already. But the possibility of a yet unknown lethal virus spreading that fast seems very real to me. And that's truly scary.

Steve Aoki Premieres 'Steve Jobs' Music Video [EXCLUSIVE]
Steve Jobs tributes may occasionally seem like gimmicks, attempts to ride a trend. But electronic musician Steve Aoki's new track, called "Steve Jobs," is an homage to a man he calls a "revolutionary."
"Whether I'm producing music or I'm playing out, whether I'm connecting with my fans through social media, without Steve Job's creations, it would be a completely different place for me," he says.
The track "Steve Jobs" was already written when the co-founder of Apple died on Oct. 5, 2011. However, Aoki calls the decision to devote the track to the late Jobs "an epiphany," mainly because he's never devoted a track to anyone before.
"I buy probably four or five laptops a year because I'm DJing and destroying my computers when I'm playing," Aoki tells Mashable. "My first computer was an Apple computer. I have an iPad, an iPhone — I'm an Apple geek. I love Steve Jobs and what he's done for the future."
Steve Aoki's new video for the track, which appears on his album Wonderland, shows footage of a recent performance at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, to be released as a concert film later this year. The video demonstrates the relationship between performer and attendee, what Aoki calls "a synergy and a language." But he acknowledges that the connection must extend beyond the confines of a concert hall.
Citing Twitter, Instagram and YouTube — where he constantly posts video updates — Aoki attempts to maintain this important bond, and credits his fans with his success. He also acknowledges Jobs, not with creating the technology, but with making it easy to use.
"From producing music to playing shows, and also connecting with fans and keeping it as convenient as possible. What he did was make it more accessible," he says.
Mashable is exclusively premiering the video for "Steve Jobs" by Steve Aoki ft. Angger Dimas. Check it out and let us know what you think.

I just posted an article called, "How to Think About the Objectives of Organized Atheism," at the Secular Outpost: http://ning.it/NtBzI4 Please take a look

Please pardon the shameless self-promotion, but the video of my 1999 debate with Phil Fernandes on naturalism vs. theism was uploaded to YouTube some time…Continue
So now--at long last--I have a friend who can coach me into being a better debater, a la Edward Tabash! Seriously, thanks for the ask, though I'd say our friendship predates Atheist Nexus by some years.
Welcome, jeff.lowder! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends.
Dear Jeff, I have just listened to the first section of your debate, and I need to hear the rest later. If only bible-lovers would listen properly and understand completely. . . . but most never do, most never can. And that's the problem. Indeed, if all religious people would really listen to reason, then there would be no religious people.
So welcome, Jeff, to the wonderful world of atheist truth and peace that is Atheist Nexus.
We invite you to make friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 580 discussion topics and over 3000 members.

Filled with the clickety-clack, whistles and rumbles of freight trains, pine-forested Flagstaff and its red-brick railroad era downtown are a reminder of the early twentieth century Old West before Interstate 40 (I-40) eclipsed Route 66. Roughly 2 hours north of Phoenix and at a much cooler 7,000-foot altitude, Flagstaff merges into the Coconino National Forest, sacred Hopi mountains, and the ski slopes of the Arizona Snowbowl and Flagstaff Nordic Centre. Flag, as the locals call it, is perfectly situated for a round of golf or family day trips, being almost equidistant between Sedona, Grand Canyon National Park, Sunset Crater, and Native American sites like Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monument.
Flagstaff's money-saving holiday rental cabins, chalets, condos, townhouses, homes, and apartments are immeasurably more comfortable than the local crop of roadside motels and hotels. Plus, if you are not enamored by trains, you have the option of seeking quiet away from the 24-hour railroad sounds bedeviling Flagstaff's roadside lodgings. Having a kitchen in your holiday rental for home-cooking will make life easier, saving restaurant commuting time and money for family sightseeing and shopping needs.
Educate the family in local history with a visit to Riordan Mansion State Historic Park, an Arts and Crafts style architectural mix of logs, volcanic stone, and wooden shingles. Ponderosa pine forests await around Flagstaff for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, snowboarding, sledding, snowshoeing, and cross-country and downhill skiing. Fitness buffs can get strenuous hiking Arizona's highest mountain, 12,633-foot Humphrey's Peak in the San Francisco Mountain range where sacred Hopi spirits are said to dwell. South of Flagstaff is a volcanic plateau with lakes. Take the family boating, fishing, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling at Mormon Lake or Lower or Upper Lake Mary.
Flagstaff is a Dark-Sky City. Light pollution control ordinances allow Lowell Observatory and the U.S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station to have the best possible viewing conditions. Take the whole family to Lowell's Steele Visitors Centre for daytime tours and nighttime telescope viewing. In 1930 Clyde Tombaugh used the Lowell telescope to discover Pluto, whose status as a planet is still an astronomical controversy. Indulge your family's artistic inclinations at the Northern Arizona University Art Museum. Whatever you do, do not leave your Flagstaff holiday rental without taking the family to the Museum of Northern Arizona, one of the region's best displays of Colorado Plateau natural history and Native American arts and crafts. More than the money-savings will be memorable if you time your holiday rental to coincide with one of the museum's cultural festivals.

2009 Yverdon Cabernet 1.5L
Vineyard: The Yverdon Vineyard consists of 25 acres planted throughout the property which was originally planted back in the late 1960's as the Yverdon Winery. In 2001 we began replanting the original vineyard and in 2006 we expanded with additional acreage. The property is located at the highest elevations in the Spring Mountain District and experiences warm mornings due to being above the fog and cooler afternoon temperatures due to the elevation. The mixture of rootstocks and clones paired with the many micro-climates on the estate produce grapes that show of the elegance and intensity that can be achieved at the highest elevations in our district.
Tasting: The 2009 Yverdon Estate Cabernet shows bright red fruits and floral notes on the nose. The palate follows with bright fruits, spice and mint. The tannins are soft allowing the wine to be very approachable.

Busting a major gunrunning ring on the New Mexico frontier – and netting a mayor, a police chief and a town councilor in the process – would normally be a huge feather in the cap of embattled federal agencies under pressure to stop cross-border arms smuggling and corruption.
But instead, the resolution of the so-called Columbus 11 case in the historic border village of Columbus, N.M., has taken on a muted tone, primarily because of its potentially critical role in the growing Operation Fast and Furious scandal.
Allegations that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) allowed US arms to flow to murderous Mexican cartels are now facing congressional scrutiny in Washington and have put Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration on the hot seat over the extent, if any, of their involvement in an operation that may have at least partially contributed to the deaths of a US law enforcement officer and numerous Mexicans.
This week, former Columbus Mayor Eddie Espinoza became the first of the Columbus 11 to plead guilty to charges that his group smuggled over 500 guns into Mexico, arming a deadly border war between competing cartels in nearby Palomas, Mexico. The details of the plea are unknown, since the deal was sealed.
According to an investigation by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), a nonpartisan journalism organization, the men also transported into Mexico several guns allowed to "walk" out of an Arizona gun shop by Phoenix BATFE agents running Operation Fast and Furious. The Department of Justice has maintained that BATFE never knowingly allowed guns to be transported to Mexico, though internal emails obtained by congressional investigators seem to contradict those statements.
President Obama has called Fast and Furious, in which since late 2009 BATFE allowed an estimated 1,880 guns to walk out of US gunshops in order to trace them to higher-ups in the Mexican cartels, "a serious mistake." One congressional investigator called the scheme "felony stupid," and the operation may, in fact, have violated the Arms Export Control Act by turning the taxpayer-funded BATFE itself into a de facto gunrunner.
But at the very least, the Columbus case hints at how difficult it became to trace the walking guns, says Dave Kopel, a Second Amendment expert at the Independence Institute in Golden, Colo. The whereabouts of some 1,400 Fast and Furious guns remain unknown.
In January 2010, Border Patrol agents near Columbus stopped two locals, Blas "Woody" Gutierrez, a town councilor, and Miguel Carillo, and found a cache of eight guns in their trunk, six of which were among the Fast and Furious collection. Nothing suspicious came up when the agents attempted to trace their provenance, but, as it emerged five months later, six of the guns were linked to Operation Fast and Furious.
The original source of the pair's weapons, an alleged straw buyer known to BATFE named Jaime Avila, has been tied to two WASR-10 rifles found near the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed by bandits in a shootout near Nogales, Ariz. in December 2010. Bureaucratic delays apparently led to the registration numbers of the Columbus guns not being entered into a federal database in time for the Border Patrol to get the information and alert BATFE.
Though the connection to Fast and Furious is not mentioned in the indictments against the Columbus 11, the details of that link were established by CPI through interviews with government officials, agency memos, and court records.
In a June 24, 2011 letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Rep. Darrell Issa (R) of California and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) of Iowa, who are heading up a Congressional investigation of Fast and Furious, demanded for the second time details about the Columbus traffic stop as well as a reported Border Patrol stop of Jaime Avila last summer where he had in his possession the two weapons later found at the scene of the Terry murder.
"Why were these individuals not arrested?" Messrs. Issa and Grassley ask.
Letting the two men go after the January 2010 traffic stop had dire consequences. In February of this year, one of the Fast and Furious guns that had been in their possession, a Ruger pistol, was reportedly used in a murder in Palomas, Mexico, a stone's throw across the border from Columbus. That revelation fuels claims by Issa and Grassley that Operation Fast and Furious not only didn't stop the flow of guns, but contributed to border violence.
"The Columbus, N.M., incident marks a rare instance in which federal officials acknowledge guns from an ATF sting have crossed over to another crime ring, affecting a sister federal agency," CPI journalists John Solomon, David Heath, and Ricardo Sandoval Palos wrote in late March.
Earlier this year, Kenneth Gonzales, the US Attorney for New Mexico, told the Wall Street Journal that he could not provide any extra information about the circumstances of the Columbus raid, which took place in March. But he acknowledged that some of the guns tied to the operation were found in Mexico.
"Every effort was made through the course of this investigation to keep that from happening," Mr. Gonzales said.
Both Obama and Holder have said they only learned of Operation Fast and Furious after the scandal broke in January, although Holder played up BATFE's Project Gunrunner, under which Fast and Furious was spawned, in a speech in Mexico in 2009, saying that $10 million of the 2009 stimulus bill would go to fund new arms interdiction measures amid disputed reports that up to 90 percent of illegal guns found in Mexico came from the US.
"My attorney general has made clear that he certainly would not have ordered gun-running to be able to pass through into Mexico," Obama said at a press conference in late June. "I've made very clear my views that that would not be an appropriate step by the ATF, and we've got to find out how that happened. As soon as the investigation's completed, I think appropriate actions will be taken."
The DOJ's inspector general is conducting an internal investigation and the Justice Department has released over 2,000 documents to congressional investigators. Grassley and Issa have accused the DOJ of coaching witnesses, stonewalling their investigation, and redacting documents with a heavy hand.
For their part, BATFE officials have defended some of their actions, saying the lack of a stronger federal antitrafficking statute has hampered the agency's attempts to control the flow of illegal arms across the border.
To that end, House Democrats on Friday introduced the Stop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act of 2011 to curtail what the Violence Policy Center's Kristen Rand called "a virtually unregulated bazaar of military-style firearms" on the US side of the border.
Also this week, the Obama administration put new multiple gun sales reporting requirements into place for 8,500 gun shops along the southern US border, fueling criticism from the NRA and conservative commentators that Fast and Furious was a White House political ploy to link US weapons to Mexican cartels in order to build support for stronger gun control on the US side of the border.
On Wednesday, House Republicans voted to strip funding for the new requirements out of the federal budget.

I haven't been active on the forum in ages but do read it now and then!
I've been trying to locate some photos of the old 60 Wall Street building that was demolished in 1975, way back then I was 15 and snuck in one early morning around 4 AM on a saturday and figuring there was a security guard inside watching the tools etc I climbed up to the top on the scaffold. The tower in the back was 32 floors but a couple were already gone so that's where the scaffold topped out but on the work platform up there I saw some massive sized terracotta sculpted faces, I didn't risk turning on the flashlight but in the moonlight I could see them, they must have been 4-5 high.
I went down on a lower floor on the Wall St side and dug out a terracotta panel from the facade, it took all day and I had to find a rope long enough to lower it to the ground in the back, I did amazingly find a tope long enough and lowered the 100# sculpture to the ground, went down to get it and carry it to my bike chained to a post on Pine st when the security guy stopped me and told me to leave it there and get out. I snuck back in when it was dark and retrieved it later
Anyway, ever since then I've wondered what those faces looked like on the tower, also I remember there being 4 massive carved stone draped female caryatids on the 2nd floor, I remember they had inscriptions of "Asia, Africa, America, Europe" and each figure resembled the ethnic group named, they must have been 14-16 feet high set between windows, and I NEVER found a photo until the other night, and even then all I found is a couple of really crappy, and low res photos, 2 of which show just part of one of the female carvings at an extreme angle.
There was also next door, I guess was 58 or 56 Wall St a building that had a refrigerator sized lion keystone on it around the 2nd floor, I remember see that stone later laying in the vacant lot like it was being saved for someone, and it was as big as a regular single door refrigerator, must have weighed 2-3 tons.
One of the photos I found the other night I can just make out what looks like a huge terracotta eagle was on top of the facade wall on the 14th floor, it looked to be maybe 6 foot tall.
The building was from 1905 and was the tallest built at the time, surely there would be some photos I haven't found yet! I really would like to see these details.
I shot a couple of photos with a cheap instamatic back in 1975 but Wall St was so dark the one of the lion was completely useless, and the faces were gone from the tower in the other shot when I took that photo.
All the photos I've found of Wall St so far are like it seems EVERYONE and their brother from 1850 forwards stood in exactly the same 3 spots and shot the exact same photos! One appears to have been from standing right in front of 60 Wall looking towards Trinity church, another is of the Federal Hall with the steps and Washington's statue, and the last one is of the stock market building.
Here's some photos, if anyone knows of other ones showing this building I'd like to know about it, seems Getty and an archive have a high res photo of one of these but they want an insane $575 for a copy!
The photo with the blue arrow points to what in another photo appears to be an eagle, the photo with the yellow arrows points to 2 of the large faces, there were 5 up there on that taller tower facing Wall St (may have been 5 more on the Pine St side I don't know) I believe they depicted Mercury with a winged helmet.
The other photos at street level, one shows where that lion keystone was, and the others show 1 and 2 of the large female draped carvings.

you're my new hero
Wow, intrepid urban explorer or what?!
I've looked through likely sources in my large NYC book collection but couldn't find any different photos.
It's a real shame that these buildings were lost.
Back in the 70s and early 80s when I was a teen, I used to go in abandoned buildings and buildings being demolished and take home ornamental terracotta, cast iron and anything else interesting, by the time I was 19 I had 50 tons of the stuff stored in several lofts, my book tells the whole story, with photos.
wow that's wacky, the whole thing from being able to hoard all that to ending up in Iowa. I'm guessing the statute of limitations is up or all these building owners would be looking for their stuff (that miraculously are now intere$ted in preserving where once they were going to let rot & perish)

Bombshell : Conservative Radio's Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh, Ingraham Were All a Part of Gang-of-Eight Gaslighting
This is YUUUUGE! Let's start by first allowing Bill Whittle, as only he can, explain to us exactly what "Gaslighting" is :
The New York Times has just laid virtually all of talk radio's top conservative punditry naked to their enemies by revealing a coordinated effort, between them and top DC politicians, to "tamp-down" opposition to comprehensive immigration reform, and "gaslight" the national republican audience. A brutal expose'…
We already knew the aspect of Fox News via Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly meeting with Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio capturing promises to deliver favorable opinion for immigration reform. – Outlined HERE – We also knew, and wrote about how Fox Executives manipulated program content (including the blacklisting of amnesty critics) to support the collective agenda.
However, we did not know how far the scope of the influence was extended, nor did we know Rush Limbaugh was a direct participant willing to defraud his audience. We also did not know that Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin were lobbied to participate.
How would we know? How would anyone know? They never told their audience.
None of the aforementioned pundits ever disclosed the nature or content of the lobbying, nor their own independent determination whether to go along with the agenda, or remain willfully blind thereby benefitting it in omission.
In hindsight we can only accept their willingness to remain silent, as affirmation of their willful blindness to the overall agenda.
However, now we do know, many things make a lot more sense about how reactionary all the "conservative" pundits were when candidate Donald Trump announced his immigration platform to include a border wall, deportation and strict enforcement of immigration law. Now we know why most pundits reacted with such disdain.
Their opposition, heck, their knee jerk attacks upon Trump for proposing immigration enforcement, seemed stunning in June/July 2015; but now takes on an entirely new light.
Via New York Times […] The dinner at News Corporation headquarters — which has not been previously reported — and the subsequent outreach to Mr. Limbaugh illustrate the degree to which Mr. Rubio served as the chief envoy to the conservative media for the group supporting the legislation.
The bill would have provided a pathway to American citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants along with measures to secure the borders and ensure that foreigners left the United States upon the expiration of their visas.
[…] Details of the dinner, and a previous one in 2011, were provided to The New York Times by an attendee of one of the meetings and two people with knowledge of what was discussed at both get-togethers.
None of the attendees agreed to be identified for this article because the conversations were supposed to be confidential.
[…] As early as March 9, 2011, Mr. Schumer joined Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and another eventual member of the Gang of Eight, at the Palm restaurant in Manhattan, where they made their case to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Ailes and Mr. Limbaugh in a private room. The senators argued how damaging the word "amnesty" was to their efforts, and walked Mr. Limbaugh through their vision for an immigration overhaul.
[…] Mr. Rubio also reached out to other conservative power brokers, including the radio hosts Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham, telling them that the legislation did not amount to amnesty. The Fox anchors Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly became more supportive.
At the time, The Washington Post reported that Mr. Rubio's advisers were monitoring to the minute how much time the hosts devoted to immigration, and that "they are heartened that the volume is much diminished."
Mr. Rubio publicly and privately worked to assuage the fears of Mr. Limbaugh, who on air called him a "thoroughbred conservative" and assured one wary listener that "Marco Rubio is not out to hurt this country or change it the way the liberals are." (read full article)

|WW1 ID Tag Canadian Soldier
This tag is made of aluminum and we know it was issued early in the War. Aluminum was expensive and at some point tags were made out of a pressed material which was between paper and cardboard in feel.
We do not know the meaning of the two letters at the bottom - E. C./G.
|Back of WW1 ID Tag
Who was A. Fitzgerald? Did he survive the War? Our curiousity was piqued and research begun.
First stop was the online CEF database. Using the service or regimental number provided on the tag, we found the Attestation papers for Arthur Fitzgerald born in Eastbourne, Sussex England on 12 November 1891.
His mother is listed as Lady A. Fitzgerald of Kilkea Castle, Mageney, Co. Kildare Ireland. He works in the Telegraph Office of the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway)
Interestingly Arthur enlisted in 1914 on his 23rd birthday. I next went to Ancestry.com to search census records and ships passenger lists. I was curious when Arthur came to Canada. Unfortunately nothing conclusive turned up in either set of records.
I did find one marriage record which might be Arthur's. The marriage took place in Toronto in September 1919 between Arthur Maurice Fitzgerald born England, age 28 and Berna Wilhelmina Guest. Arthur is named as the son of Charles John Oswald Fitzgerald and Alice Fitzgerald.
There are several online family trees which indicate this is indeed the correct Arthur whose WW1 ID Tag we have. One tree shows Arthur as dying in Toronto in 1968.

Roger Ebert says this video of a kitten deserves an Academy Award for best live-action short subject, "because of its wonderful quality."
OK OK, so I am bullshitting you: Ebert actually gave his personal Oscar nod to this Snowpocalype '10 movie. But still! As far as cat/kitten videos go, this short's as artistic and masterfully executed as they come (except for the clunky zoom at :13, but we'll let it slide). It probably deserves an award of some sort:
Love the impact of that swelling background music. And dig that final scene, in which the kitten fights with the raggedy toy thingie. It seems like a metaphor for humankind's efforts to overcome daily struggles and strife, though maybe I'm just reading too much into things.

I'm in completely new territory and I am unsure of where to start investigating.
I work for a big org with many Windows PCs controlled by a Microsoft network. We are using WebLogic 11g and Java 6
The org began using CACs ( smart cards ) to authenticate users who want to get into their PCs and into Windows.
My boss would like the users of our Java webapp ( Spring 3.1 and legacy servlets duct taped together ) to be able
to access our Java webapp, without authentication, if they are already in Windows via their CAC.
Like I wrote, I do not know what is involved or where to start for this goal.
Would I try to get the WebApp to talk to the Microsoft Network or the user's PC to ask if that person has been CAC authenticated?
Would I try to read a web certificate from the CAC with Java? If so, I have never used certificates before. Where could I go to learn about as if I am complete beginner, which I am?
Thanks in advance for any information or tips

KBH Engineering GmbH in Koenigsbrunn manufactures special systems for surface finishing. In this system, a continuous feed lead strip coil is coated on both sides in one cycle. The coating must be evenly applied and it must dry quickly on the lead strip so that it is capable of withstanding very high stresses.
An even coating can only be achieved if the strip passes through the system at a constant speed. In order to realize continuous operation in a large technical system an incoming and outgoing goods memory is provided for several meters of strip material. One jockey roller balances out the pull and pressure produced by unrolling and rolling the strip. In this way, decoupling of the pulling stations to the raw material coil is achieved.
The Pepperl+Fuchs inclination sensor
In earlier solutions, a drive potentiometer was used to query the jockey roller. This had to be special-ordered as a purpose-built item for the angle inclination. The installation was very time consuming. The new inclination sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs can be attached anywhere on the jockey roller rocker. With the Teach-In mode, the required deflection angle can be defined exactly over the entire current stroke from
In addition, this inclination sensor is non-contact and wear-free because of the spring-mass-rocker principle and does not need any mechanical adjustment. The current loop with

"Word of a Woman: 40 Years of Feminist Publishing" was on display in the exhibit cases outside the Rare Book Room in Duke University's Perkins Library through October, 2005.
Culled from a diverse collection of books, feminist periodicals, zines, artist's books, pamphlets, and even mainstream publications from the Sallie Bingham Center's holdings on the women's movement from the 1960s to the present, the exhibit demonstrated the importance of self-publishing and publishing outside-the-mainstream to the development of the feminist community, culture, and activism.
In keeping with the symposium's theme of intergenerational and transgenerational feminisms, the exhibit paid special attention to generational parallels in feminist publishing and the evolution of publishing technologies and formats over the years.
Themes (with a sampling of pieces included)
- S.C.U.M. Manifesto, by Valerie Solanas, 1973.
S.C.U.M. Manifesto, reprinted by Lizzard Amazon, Riot Grrrlz Outerspace, 1993. From the Sarah Dyer Zine Collection. Valerie Solanas' Society for Cutting Up Men (S.C.U.M.) Manifesto is the most famous of the late 1960's radical feminist manifestos. Third wave feminists republished this and other seminal second wave manifestos in order to spread the message to a new generation of women.
- What is Riot Grrrl?" by Riot Grrrl D.C., n.d. From the Sarah Dyer Zine Collection. The riot grrrl movement grew out of the punk scenes of Seattle and Washington, D.C. in the early 1990's and spread throughout the U.S. and abroad. This manifesto, while calling for "Revolution Girl Style Now," reflects the fact that the riot grrrls often had to defend their right to exist within their own culture.
Feminism and Art
- Women and Art, Winter 1971. From the Women's and LGBT Rights Periodicals Collection. Feminist art journals reclaimed and re-imagined the definitions of "artists" and "art" by declaring art to be a reflection of and a tool for feminist social change. This particular issue includes a front page article by Pat Mainardi, author of the classic movement text "The Politics of Housework" (1970).
- Crackers & Honey, by Karissa Cove, October 2000. Each issue of Crackers & Honey blurs the lines between an artist's book and a zine. Cove creates both a forum for discussing art and an art object in itself.
Feminism and Literature
- No Known Pattern: Twelve Poems by The American Voice. The Kentucky Foundation for Women, Inc., 1989. From the Kentucky Foundation for Women Records. Many feminist poets, including Peggy Steele, Denise Levertov, and Gwen Head, contributed to this chapbook, which was produced with support from the Kentucky Foundation for Women.
- Butterfly, by Hilary and Faith. Summer 1995. From the Sarah Wood Zine Collection. "A Publication of Women Artists". This zine contains original fiction and poetry along with information about AIDS and STDs.
Feminism and the Mainstream Media
- Letter from new editor-in-chief Robin Morgan to Ms. subscribers, July 1990. From the Alix Kates Shulman Papers. This letter announced Ms.'s trailblazing decision to become advertising-free following years of struggle with advertising agencies over their editorial content.
- Sassy, June 1992. From the Paula Kamen Papers.
Bulldozer, issue #1, n.d. From the Sarah Dyer Zine Collection. When Sassy, once celebrated for its feminist, often controversial articles, changed its editorial direction in 1994 and began to imitate "lighter" teen magazines such as Seventeen, many faithful readers, such as Bulldozer's Rebecca, published outraged articles in their zines.
Feminist Publishers
- Catalog of The Feminist Press, 1976. With a current, critically-acclaimed catalog of 250 titles by both rediscovered and new female voices, the press is now celebrating its 35th year.
- Action Girl Guide, 1993. From the Sarah Dyer Zine Collection. Sarah Dyer's Action Girl Guide was the first effort to document the enormous outpouring of women's and girls' zines in the 1990s.
Grrrl/Girl Culture
- Jenny's Secret Place by Sara Evans Boyte, 1970. This children's book was the first title published by Lollipop Power, Inc., which was formed in the late 1960s by members of a Carrboro/Chapel Hill/Durham area feminist consciousness-raising group.
- Dream/Girl, c. Winter 1999. From a private collection. A magazine dedicated to nurturing the creative expression of girls, Dream/Girl, founded by Durham resident Frances O'Roark Dowell, published articles, poetry, stories, and artwork submitted by its young readers.
Feminists Online
- http://www.redstockings.org/. The online home of the Redstockings, one of the most influential women's liberation organizations of the late 1960s-early 1970s.
- www.bamboogirl.com. The online home of one of the best-known zines. "Challenging racism, sexism, & homophobia from the Filipina/Asian Pacific Islander (API)/Asian mutt feminist point of view since 1995."

Nicholas Dillon has a broken pelvis and won't play soccer again for months.
But the bed-ridden 13-year-old Napa boy still counts himself lucky. He was one of the most seriously injured among the 208 people hospitalized after Sunday's 6.0-magnitude earthquake rattled the Bay Area.
U.S. & World
"That day I could have died" he said.
A fireplace fell on top of Dillon's lower body when the quake hit at 3:20 a.m. He believes if he hadn't moved, he could have been crushed to death by the bricks.
Instead, the freckle-faced teen was giving interviews from his hospital bed at the University of California at Davis Children's Hospital in Sacramento Tuesday night, retelling the harrowing story of what happened when he first felt the earth move and the house shake.
"I started crawling trying to get to the door," he said, "and just as I was about to put my knee on the floor the chimney collapsed on my lower back."
Nicholas and his friend, Imanol Villanueva, were sleeping in the living room after a friend's birthday party Saturday night. Nicholas was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, directly under the brick fireplace. He had given Imanol the couch.
"He started yelling my name," Imanol said, still teary remembering what happened when the earth shook. "And then I yelled his and then I saw the bricks coming down on him."
The bricks ended up crushing Dillon's pelvis, but thankfully, his family says, not his spine.
"I didn't know what to think," Nicholas said. "For the first 30 seconds, I thought I was paralyzed. I didn't think I was going to be able to walk anymore. I was scared."
His mother called 911, but couldn't get an answer. His grandfather drove him to the nearest fire station, where he was taken to the hospital. He was airlifted to UC Davis, where he underwent a 10-hour surgery, his family said. Of the 208 patients first admitted to Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, he was one of two critical cases.
Doctors say it will be at least four or five months before he can put pressure on his legs.
As a soccer player, that news is especially disappointing for the 9th grader at New Technology High.
"I'm hanging in there for the most part," he said.
Nicholas Dillon's family set up an account to help with medical costs. To help, contact Bank of America and reference an account in the name of Nicholas M. Dillon, No. 1641-0344-2511.
NBC News and NBC Bay Area's Ian Cull contributed to this report.

"Godfather of Neon" Chris Bracey is the artist and collector behind London's God's Own Junkyard, the world's largest collection of neon signs, art work, light sculptures, and other reworked, salvaged props. Bracey's signs and props have appeared in many Hollywood films such as "Blade Runner," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Mona Lisa," and "Eyes Wide Shut," to name a very few. After filming's done on a movie, the signs and props get tossed out, but 25 years ago, Bracey decided to start collecting and storing many of his more iconic creations. In this short film, Bracey explains that his experience of neon is like visual cocaine, an experience of visual addiction. He also claims that he was the first person to create the iconic and oft-used "Girls Girls Girls" sign seen at adult establishments, both in real life and in films.
After he began collecting his discarded film commissions, Bracey says he decided that he should name the collection. "I had this yard with all the stuff in it, and I've got loads of sheds with neon signs in, piled up. And I thought, what am I going to call it? And then I read about this book that was about an architect in the 60s who didn't like urban America because of all the movie signs, petrol stations, gambling casinos, diners on Route 66, and big signs all over the landscape. He said 'they're turning God's own country into God's own junkyard!' And I thought, yeah, that's what I've got here. I've got all this stuff from God's own junkyard which is very much like America, with all these signs. I love this stuff so much, I thought if God had a junkyard it would be full up with all this stuff, these neon signs, because I think God would really like all this stuff. It's really magical to me." (via unknown editors)

How a Computer Virus Attack Works
1 comment:
Personal computers in the present times are very much prone to various virus attacks.ReplyDelete
It could be in the form of mild or very destructive attack causing it to malfunction or could crash your computer's system and leave your PC useless afterwards. To fix the problem, installing anti-virus protection program to computers and reformatting the disk of your computer is the best solution to totally eliminate the culprit.
