Polk Audio Signature S50
Crutchfield customer from Talent, OR on 9/13/2019
The Polk S50s pleasantly surprised me. The Polks replaced two Wharfedale W70Ds from the 1970s. Those speakers were much bigger, heavier, and had a much larger woofer, mid-ranges, and tweeter. I didn't expect the Polks to come close to matching the Wharfedales. I was pleasantly surprised. The Polks had a sound that was all their own. When I bi-wired them they really shined. The difference between a single speaker cable powering the speakers and bi-wiring the speakers was immediately apparent. It also helped that I bought a new stereo receiver that gave the speakers 125 watts per channel. I would recommend the Polks without hesitation as long as you had a powerful receiver and bi-wired them. Initially my old receiver offered 60 watts per channel and I just ran a single set of speaker wires to each speaker. The Polks had good imaging but were nothing special. Moving up to a 125 watt per channel receiver and bi-wiring turned the Polks into completely different animals.
Pros: Excellent stereo imaging. When properly powered and bi-wired punch above their weight. Lots of definition and a pleasing sound.
Cons: Really needs more than 60 watts per channel and bi-wiring to shine.

Nice for small/medium size living room
Crutchfield customer from Winchester, VA on 4/19/2019
Nice clear sound, bass reflex port at bottom puts out pretty good bass for 5-1/4" speakers. However, I wanted more bass so bought a 10" subwoofer which complements them perfectly. Good speakers for our 18' x 16' living room at modest volumes. For a bigger room, I'd choose next size up.

Great entry level speakers.
Marc from Macon,GA on 3/26/2019
I got these for a stellar deal on scratch and dent. These are my first true component home theatre speaker purchase. I've had Soundbars and bookshelf systems before but they pale in comparison to these. Even with them being budget oriented they still get extremely loud and stay clear and crisp. They have surprising bass from their smaller drivers. If you want to feel the bass though you'll definitely need a sub. I pared these with Denon's base model 7.2 channel receiver and the Polk HTS10 sub. It's a very nice combo for not a terribly large amount of money. I definitely recommend these to anyone needing to fill a small-medium sized room with music/movies/games. The only flaw was one small dent that looked like it was hit while being shipped. You can barely notice it even when looking for it, so no complaints at all. Absolutely fantastic customer service from David as well. Crutchfield is the only place to get audio components.
Pros: Big sound from a smaller footprint floor standing speaker. Super clear even at ridiculous volume levels.
Cons: None that pertain to the speakers themselves.

Crutchfield customer from Chandler, AZ on 2/14/2019
Just getting to know these, but loving the sound so far. Powerful and crystal clear. Look great too. Great recommendation from Eric. I wanted something for both home theater and audio only. Added the S30 Center Speaker too. Thinking about a sub in the future, but the S50s are providing plenty of low end for my liking.
Pros: Great sound and looks.

Crutchfield customer from Munster, IN on 2/5/2019
I was a little skeptical buying the S50 model over the S55, but I really wanted the smaller footprint. However I am glad I made the choice to purchase the S50, because these sound awesone. The highs are clear and the bass is punchy. I paired them with a S35 center, a pair of S10 surround, and HTS 10 for the bass. All connected to a Sony STR-DN1080 receiver. No regrets!
Pros: Sweet sweet sound!
Cons: None so far!

Dennis from Madison, AL on 9/1/2018
I am a hard core 2 channel Stereo Audiophile since 1974 when I bought my first Pioneer Receiver and Infinity Tower Speakers. Today I still enjoy my music each day holding todays electronics and speakers to that Standard....But as I aged I found that while the Components ( Receivers, CD Players, Etc..) have improved the speakers that can deliver that "High RMS per2/channel Sound" have been eclipsed by expensive "peripherals" i.e" Wireless, Bluetooth, 5.1, Cloud Stored Movie music on and on..) Or you have to spend at the top of the food chain for McIntosh to get "Purity and Performance" NOT So with the Polk s-50s. This week, after 6 years of Polk Monitor 60s supported by two Definitive Technology Monitor 50 for added "MidRange", I replaced the Towers with S-50s..... I wanted to ADD 5HZ to the LOWs and 15,000MHz to the high range. My goal was to do this without increasing the size of my towers and spend less than $1000 to do it. I spent $400 and The difference was Dramatic. I am again impressed at the constant improvement that POLK brings to the Speaker Industry by delivering MORE Performance for LOWER Cost than any/all competitors. Even the feet of these speakers are improved now having wider stance and sonically insulated rubber pads . The Floor directed Port Bass Reflex design delivers smooth DEEP Bass and the HIGHS that are breathtaking.
Pros: IMPROVED BASS combined with SHARP TREBLE Performanc IMPROVED Cabinet FIT/FINISH and FEET LOWEST Cost
Cons: NONE

Great speakers love them
Kody from Howell, MI on 3/22/2018
I bought a pair for my rears to replace my old book shelf Bose rears that sounded great but wanted something that can handle a little bit more power and more bass. Everyone told me my surround sound sounded great and I didn't need to get them but I bought them anyway and man did it make a world of difference now everyone agrees with me n everyone said that the Polk s50s completed my system which I truly believe it did I wouldn't be able to go back to what I had even though the Bose sounds good, I just love my s50s. I have JBL speakers for my fronts with dual 10 inch woofers in each one and the Polk s50 keep up no problem. They are way louder then my Bose, way more Bass, and Crystal Clear sound. I am running a 12 inch sub also so i have two 10 inch woofers plus the 12 inch sub Polk center channel and Polk rear center running off a Denon receiver 185watts a channel. For the price I paid for the pair I am more than happy if I had the space I would buy two more for 7.1. but I love them and everyone that has heard my home theater loves them too. I definitely recommend them for the price.
Pros: Crystal clear, no distortion, good Bass, not giant speakers about 37 pounds
Cons: Wish I had more room too buy another pair for 7.1

You Cannot Go Wrong. Hi-Res Exceptional Sound. Beautiful
Mark from Lochbuie, CO on 3/17/2018
Right out of the box the sound was sweet and balanced. I am breaking them in slowly, and day by day musical details just keep getting more apparent - it is clear that Polk has put forth great effort, incorporating 40 years of technical innovations into the Signature Series. They simply sound terrific. Aesthetically, a work of art. I bi-wired them with a high current, A-B switching power amp - which provides a perfect audio marriage. For price paid, the finest audio bargain I have ever had. If you are considering the Signature Series - you will have zero regret. And, the magnetic grilles are a treat. Off or on in seconds. I pondered two weeks on my choice, I narrowed it down to three choices. Hi-Resolution certification. I know my choice was the correct one!
Pros: Musical detail, spatial dimension, connectibility, appearance, magnetic grilles, quality of build.
Cons: Inability to make good coffee

Works of Art!
Michael from Cambridge, MA on 2/12/2018
Speakers arrived quickly and look and sound great. Set them up with bi-amping from a Sony DH770 receiver and they sound great at low, medium and high volumes and really create a nice soundstage. While they look great with the nice magnetic speaker covers attached, they're especially striking with the covers off and the tweeter/woofers showing.
Pros: Looks, sound across volume levels, ability to bi-amp.
Cons: None encountered so far.

No Bells and Whistles...Just Pure Sound!
Allan from New Port Richey, Florida on 2/5/2018
Received a week ago. Had doubts because I already sent back a set of RTIa3's, Monitor Bronze 2's and the S50 had smallest drivers of the lot. Changed my mind real quick. The highs are there but not overbearing...they're natural, as are the mids. Low end is also there. I listen to a lot of classical music, gospel music, and bluegrass. In two channel mode on my system the speakers excelled and were the most balanced I've ever purchased. Haven't even bi-wired them yet. I run also in five channel HT mode with a Yamaha CXA5000 pre connected to a brand new Emotiva BASX500 amplifier, 2 old Polk Monitor 30's? for the rears, a Klipsch center channel, and an Acoustech 12 inch subwoofer. I don't know why the center fits into the system but it does and so does the sub. The S50 can stand alone without a sub unless you want to rattle your walls but they are capable of getting way down there. Construction is extremely solid and I honestly love that you don't have to put the feet on yourself. The feet are unlike any I have used and super sturdy. The magnetic grill is a dream to put on and take off. I REALLY LIKE THEM. In the old days, they used to aim to duplicate sound so it sounded like the music that was playing...no explosive bass sounds, over exaggerated highs, etc. Reputations were built by how closely the speaker matched the reality of whatever sound it was duplicating. These speakers do just that!
Pros: Style, well controlled, smooth highs, crystal clear mids, decent bass, magnetic grill, feet and of course, the great customer service I received from Crutchfield in my search.
Cons: Top heavy

A+ speaker!
Michael F from Warrington, PA on 2/4/2018
Wow - I didn't think a speaker like this would make THAT much of a difference. Present bass, clear dialogue... the detail in the audio is amazing. These speakers really make all the difference in experiencing movies, TV shows and music. Highly recommended.
Pros: Clarity and presence in sound.
Cons: A little top heavy - although they haven't, they seem like they can tip over fairly easy.

These are the Speakers You're Looking For
Tim from San Jose, CA on 1/21/2018
I've put together an audiophile system which consists of a pure analog path: turntable > tube preamp > tube amplifier > speakers. The last components were the speakers. These speakers have really made the difference. They are efficient enough to get plenty of volume from my little 6W tube amp. And as far as tonal quality, all I can say is, compared to my old speakers these are like the difference between an SD and HD television. They have the tightest sonic definition I've heard, without being harsh. My ears are very sensitive to distortion in the mid-range, and only these Polk's haven't made me wince during a powerful horn section. My system has no controls for tone adjustment, so I needed a speaker that is inherently well-balanced. I don't really know how Polk's "Dynamic Balance" works, but it seems to be doing the trick. Much has been commented about the bass, which is comfortably reproduced by these speakers, without being artificially dominant in the mix. And to top it all off, these things look awesome!
Pros: Appearance, efficiency, sonic reproduction
Cons: Heavy, hard to move, no good place to grip them.

Great speaker for both music and movies
Steve from Jefferson City, MT on 12/15/2017
Prior to buying I researched extensively online. Living in a rural area I was unable to listen prior to buying, which was a source of worry for me. This turned out to be a great purchase. Good looking speakers but most importantly have great sound. I'm actually very impressed with the sound for both music and movies. I still want a subwoofer to round out the lowest frequencies but really not sure how much it will add.
Pros: - Great sound - Great value
Cons: - None

Amazing! Very well rounded sound and quality!
Drew from Honolulu, HI on 12/15/2017
Upgraded to these speakers after having a soundbar for many years. The quality, richness, crispness of the tweeter, and overall fullness of the sound is immediately apparent compared to the tiny speakers built into a soundbar. All of my sources (PS4 Pro, 4K blu-ray player, TV apps, music, Chromecast) have whole new life (especially the music!) and I'm hearing sound as I have never heard with excellent highs and great mids and lows. The bass isn't as good as a dedicated sub but it is very clean and punchy. The bottom powerports probably help out with this and it's a great addition to these speakers! One of the better looking floor-standing speakers aesthetically speaking. I am currently only running a two channel setup (bi-amped) with just these two speakers and a receiver. I can imagine having a center channel will help a bit with dialogue and a dedicated sub will fulfill overall sound, but these are excellent front speakers and would highly recommend them to anyone! Sure there are other more expensive 'lower end' series speakers available with maybe an extra speaker or something, but buying these speakers over others (i.e.- Polk TSi400) are analogous to buying a souped-up Toyota or entry level Lexus. Sure you'll be happy with both, but you know you want that Lexus... Crutchfield came in the clutch as always, shipped priority for free to Hawaii and it came within two days. Amazing!
Pros: -Full, rich sound -Crisp highs from the tweeter -Excellent build quality -Clean, tight bass (still doesn't replace a sub but great depth nonetheless) -Aesthetically pleasing to the eye -Allows for bi-amp/bi-wiring
Cons: None

Polk Audio strikes back again with a punchy winner!!!
Eric from Delray Beach, FL on 8/17/2017
I purchased the TSI300 last month great speaker. I would have bought the S50 last month but was not in my budget and they weren't budging on a discount, lol so I bought the TSI300 which sounded great on movies but was lacking something on the low end of the spectrum. I had gotten a email from crutchfield that the S50 dropped down in price which was in my budget so I returned the TSI300 for the S50 I have not pushed them to the limit or watch any movies as of yet but what I can say is this is a nice speaker with a different sound great low end and mid and high end base is great. I don't feel like I have to crank up my reciever volume to enjoy these speakers I find I'm turning my reciever volume half way with a louder sounding speaker overall I'm pretty happy with the way the speaker looks its detail is much more higher end the dust cover is magnetic. The base feet are sturdy and well balanced. I would recommend highly.
Pros: Low end Mid end High end Unique sound Craftsmenship Weight Balanced feet Sexy cabinet
Cons: None so far

Good sound and great value
Bob from Bradenton, FL on 4/21/2017
The simulated walnut finish of the Polk S50 speaker is exceptional for the price. The sound quality is pleasing and well balanced across the frequency spectrum. I had to part with a pair of JBL Studio 270 speakers due to a cross-country move and while the S50's do not have the almost-too-detailed sonic quality of the JBL's, they are a good compromise. Overall, I am very pleased with them.
Pros: Exceptional finish and build quality for the price Well balanced sound quality
Cons: None worth mentioning

Good Value
Steve from Green River, WY on 12/26/2016
I have been using these speakers for three days, and they are already starting to loosen up. I think they need a few more days of usage before they sound the best. I think they are a good value based speaker for small to medium sized rooms. They are 13 feet from my listening area, and the sound loudness can easily become greater than a theater off 90 watts per channel. These are sensitive speakers. You should still have a sub woofer since below 50 hz they are weak.
Pros: Nice looking, good sounding, inexpensive

Product Research
Dynamic Balance Drivers: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Using just the right materials enables Polk to eliminate issues that reduce speaker performance and tune out performance-robbing resonances before they occur. Dynamic Balance ensures a rich, clean, full-range sound no matter what you're listening to. The Polk Signature S50 floor-standing loudspeaker incorporates a Dynamic Balance two-way driver array with one 1" tweeter and two 5.25" woofers.
- Hi-Res 1" Terylene Tweeter: The Signature S50 floor-standing loudspeaker utilizes Polk's newly designed 1" Terylene tweeter to deliver clear and detailed high-end response for realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments. It will support high frequencies up to 40kHz to perfectly reproduce the latest high-resolution audio files with improved audio extension, earning Hi-Res Audio Certification.
- Dual 5.25" Mica-Reinforced Polypropylene Woofers: The Signature S50 floor-standing speaker employs two 5.25" Dynamic Balance low distortion mica-reinforced polypropylene cone woofers for clean, clear bass, better linearity, and increased dynamic midrange and midbass. This mica-reinforced polypropylene woofers feature butyl rubber surrounds, massive ceramic motor structures, and high-temperature Conex fiber spiders that combine to create drivers of exceptionally high efficiency, for clean, clear bass, better linearity, lower distortion, and greater durability.
Power Port Technology: The Signature S50 floor-standing incorporates Polk's Power Port technology with a specially designed down-firing port. Power Port technology smoothly transition air flow from inside the speaker into your listening area for deep, extended bass impact while minimizing turbulence and distortion. Polk's patented Power Port technology delivers 3dB more bass response than a traditional ported speaker. Because the port is located on the bottom of the floor-standing speaker, its not necessary to position to the loudspeaker a certain amount of feet from wall - giving you greater placement flexibility.
Non-Resonant Enclosure: The floor-standing speaker's strong, rigid and acoustically inert enclosure reduces unwanted internal standing waves for less audible coloration. And non-resonant Meddite MDF construction, extra bracing, and a thick front baffle ensure a more lifelike sound. The enclosure's curved edges not only look cool, they reduce standing waves inside the cabinet for less audible coloration. The enclosure features a beautiful black washed walnut finish.
Anti-Diffraction Magnetic Grille: The Signature S50 includes an anti-diffraction magnetic grille for unaltered sound. The integrated magnets make it easy to attach and remove the grille from the floor-standing speaker.
Two-Way Crossover: The floor-standing speaker employs a high-performance two-way crossover array (2.5kHz) for seamless blending and optimum time alignment of the tweeter & woofers, creating a lifelike soundstage.
Dual 5-Way Binding Posts: The floor-standing loudspeaker has two sets of 5-way binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual 5-way binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The 5-way binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). The speaker terminals are color coded for easy identification between positive (red) and negative (black).
Dual-Floor Compatible Feet: Customized for improved stability and bass coupling to the floor, the floor-standing loudspeaker's feet are designed for both carpet and hard floors. The feet come pre-installed and should not be removed.
Applications & Placement: The Signature S50 floor-standing speakers can be used as front and/or surround speakers in a home theater setup. They can also be used in a simple stereo application. If your AV receiver offers built-in bass management, the S50 should be set to "Large" for an unfiltered, full-range audio signal.
- Placement for Front Speakers: As a pair of front speakers in a home theater or stereo setup, create an equilateral triangle between the speakers and the listening position - with the speakers placed as far apart from one another as the listeners are sitting from them.
- Placement for Surround Speakers: As surround speakers, the S50 should be placed on a side wall slightly behind the listening position. If you cannot place the speakers on the side walls, position them on the rear wall just behind the listening area.
Signature Series: Polk designed its Signature Series of loudspeakers to bring a big surround sound and a live music experience into the comfort of your living room at an affordable price. Featuring Hi-Res certification with a new high-resolution Terylene tweeter, redesigned Dynamic Balance drivers, precision crossovers, an anti-diffraction magnetic grille, modern cabinet styling and exclusive Power Port bass enhancing technology, Polk's Signature series loudspeakers deliver crystal clear highs, detailed midrange, and deep bass; plus they look great in almost any decor. The Signature Series by Polk consists of two center-channel speakers, three bookshelf loudspeakers, and three tower speakers.
Note: You may also want to add one of Polk Audio's powered subwoofers (sold separately) for even more bass response.

When you hear the word "lamp" what image do you think of? You probably imagine that table lamp on your bed's nightstand, which sheds some light on your bedtime reading.

Our lamp shop regularly restores these antique floor lamps for resale as well as for our customers' own use. From our 30 years of experience it is clear that many of these antique floor lamps will last for hundreds of years. The electrical components, the fabric shades and the painted finishes often need restoration but most were made with such fine quality, that they are a much better value than brand new high end lamps that sell for many hundreds of dollars.

7OM Full Moon Transmission: October 2016
Hi Beauties,
We are currently all in the energy of this weekend's potent Super Full Moon.
And the theme that is very present for every single one of us
is Authenticity.
Any part of us that we have felt ashamed of,
or pray that no-one will ever discover about us,
is very possibly coming to the surface right now.
And any part of us that needs to howl or scream or cry
is also most likely coming up now.
We are seeing it on the world stage.
And we are seeing it intimately within our own realms.
Let it out.
Let yourself be witnessed.
However ugly or shameful it feels to you to do so,
know that everything your Soul dreams of is on the other side
of allowing this to be witnessed and expressed.
This 4 minute video transmission
is free and available to all.
Blessings on your Journey, Beautiful One.
This is a courageous time to be Alive.

The Hard Realities of Fundraising, Part 1: It's Your Job/
This is part 1 in a five part series on fundraising. Topics covered include "fundraising is your job," "fundraising is a skill you learn," "your ability to fundraise determines your viability as a candidate," "you need to be willing to fundraise," and "tips on building a list."
This post is the first in what I think will be a five-part series on fundraising. A few weeks back I wrote about how neither the party nor the lobbyists will help you with fundraising unless you help yourself - by taking control of your own fundraising for your campaign.
I got enough feedback on from that post I decided to go into more detail about some of the "hard realities" of fundraising.
The first topic is about whose job it is to fundraise: as the candidate, it's your job. Candidates have two jobs when running: talking to voters and raising money.
Over the course of your campaign, you're going to ask people to do a lot of things for you. You'll ask volunteers to go door to door and show up at parades and sign-waving events, you'll ask any paid staff to keep your schedule and accounting in order and you'll ask supporters in the party to help with the get-out-the-vote operations.
You need volunteers and staff to do those jobs well. And they need you to fundraise. If you don't expect that of yourself, you shouldn't be asking anything of your supporters.
Donors want to give money to the candidate, especially big donors. And while online fundraising through email, social media and the website can be a convenient way to add some extra money to the campaign, the majority of the fundraising should be done by person to person fundraising requests by the candidate.
The candidate needs to schedule time to fundraise every week. Have your staff or volunteers put together a list of potential donors from your rolodex and from lists of prior donors you can acquire from previous candidates.
Then sit down a couple of hours a week and start dialing for dollars.
If you would like to get more campaign tips, you can check out "Running for Office" magazine, subscribe to the blog or connect with me on twitter or LinkedIn. You can also get an campaign tips emailed to you once a week by signing up to to the right of this post.

Something got me thinking about a kid I grew up with named John B______. He and his two older brothers lived just down the street from the time we were in 5th grade. All three boys had heads of dark brown, unruly and quite large hair. Our families were quite friendly and sometimes got together for meals or outings. His mother was a lovely lady named Mary Ann. His father, Leo, was a bit of an odd duck. He used to get very mad at evidence of rabbits in his lawn, and would refer to their feces as rabbit pills. We accessed their house for many years through a vacant lot between our street and theirs, and later, when the lot was finally built on, by sneaking through the neighbor's yard.
John suffered an undiagnosed and unreported form of child abuse at the hand of his older siblings. Often the victim of sibling-on-sibling abuse myself, I always forgave John's strange and often obnoxious behavior. But both his brothers and mine were merciless, constantly subjecting him to humiliation and all sorts of physical torture. If that wasn't mean enough, they would frequently create awful nicknames for him, including the one that stuck – Squirt.
Once on the school bus, John, who I think may have had a lifelong crush on me, was squirting water at me through a hypodermic needle. (I never did learn how it was he came upon such a thing.) I put up my hand to deflect the water at the same time the bus lurched, resulting in the needle literally going all the way through my hand. I passed out for a brief second, mostly due to the eww factor, and woke to see John, as white as a sheet, looking very guilty, scared, and concerned. I never told my parents who shot me with the needle, but the incident did result in a small trip to the emergency room later that night.
Once, on the day after Halloween, our doorbell rang and I opened the door to find a somewhat wilted red rose, an index card, and some leftover Halloween candy. (Clearly the dregs of the previous evening's haul – Zagnuts, Bit O'Honey and other B list candies.) The index card read "To Julie. Love, Your Secret Admirer." And on the back, in his brother's handwriting, "From John B_______." Surprised by this new level of attention, I think I tried to press the rose to keep it as a memento, but any hint of an early middle school romance was quickly dashed by the constant teasing and lewd comments from our brothers.
Though we were always cordial to one another, we never traveled in the same social circles in high school. I think we had been through too much humiliation together, at the hands of our older brothers, to ever truly be friends. And, perhaps the result of the abuse, an ongoing crush, or maybe even due to a mild and undiagnosed case of Asbergers, he was never quite able to look me in the eye.

Page 3: Boom
During a boom, there are high levels of economic growth. A boom has a number of characteristics. Employment levels are high and wages may rise as businesses try to attract employees. Consumer confidence is strong and consumers have a positive outlook on the state of the economy. This then causes an increase in demand as people spend more on goods and services.
Businesses tend to increase their investment during a boom phase and many new businesses start up. However, during this time there may be an increase in inflation as prices rise in response to greater demand and increased costs.
For building societies, a boom is an important period. As wages increase, many customers wish to save more. This results in building societies being able to lend more to their members. People have more confidence and are willing to borrow to buy property.
In boom years, house prices can increase so rapidly that some potential homebuyers find houses become unaffordable. Building societies understand that getting onto the housing ladder in this period is difficult and therefore societies aim to offer more services for first-time buyers. For example, they can offer new ways in which customers can buy their own homes, such as the provision of shared-ownership schemes. This sort of service has been developed through work with government and local authorities. This means people need a smaller deposit and have a smaller mortgage at the outset of the purchase.
Although building societies grow during a period of boom, they have to behave responsibly. It would be wrong to offer mortgages to those who would not be able to afford the repayments over the long term. Building societies are therefore careful about who they lend to. Building societies take this responsibility seriously as too much debt could destabilise their balance of savings and lending.
A period of boom does not last forever. During this period it becomes difficult to sustain growth. The demand for goods and services simply outstrips the ability of all of the businesses within the economy to supply all of the goods and services that consumers would like. This is known as overheating - inflation accelerates and the government may intervene by increasing taxes or interest rates. Growth slows and a downturn begins to take place.

Last year Karen Irvine from the MoCP was in Seattle and we looked through some of my work together. It's so interesting to understand what others see in your work in relation to what you see in it. She liked my Micaela Maria project and encouraged to me to pursue it. Since then I've been thinking a lot about that work, the last five years of making it and how it was never conceived as such, but slowly and eventually has become 'something.' I've become interested in this adult-child relationship and have found other artists who have embraced it as well.
|Rafael Soldi
Last week Jesse Burke was in town and over dinner he shared having a similar 'holy shit!' moment, when he realized that the photographs he had been making of his daughter, Clover, had suddenly become a a fine art portfolio, a body of work in progress. He talked about it at the lecture he delivered alongside Clover, and also talks about it in his blog. The collaborative relationship they are building is fascinating to me and it got my mind racing again about my relationship with my sister and how picture making-fits in.
|Jesse Burke
|Jesse Burke
Talking to Jesse immediately got me thinking of Timothy Archibald and his [photographic/collaborative] relationship with his son, their partnership as makers and kinsfolk as they develop his series Echolilia. I don't know that my sister is interested in being part of the process, as she is now in her teens and is more of subject than a collaborator... I think mostly she is just annoyed that I'm taking her picture, but she never says no and her discomfort is very much an important part of documenting her coming of age.
|Timothy Archibald
|Timothy Archibald
With that in mind, today I stumbled upon the work of Hideaki Hamada, who has been documenting his two small sons. He has a Flickr page that I strongly suggest browsing through. It was actually fun seeing that we use the same camera, same lens and same film... but damn this guy has an amazing sense of light.... I don't know if he carries a fill flash around, but if I could find light in the places he finds light in I'd be a happy man! Anyhow, his portraits of his sons are heartwarming and kind of amazing.
Can anyone suggest other adult/child, parent/child or sibling relationships in photography? I'd love to learn more about how others have navigated this process.

Digitised networks: active player in energy change
The energy sector is facing ground-breaking changes during the course of the global energy revolution. Localised energy-generating plants working on the basis of wind, sun and biomass mean that households and small companies can now also act as energy suppliers. Energy companies need to be able to log the electrical parameters from the transformers at the entrance to the location to every downstream prosumer in order to derive network stabilisation measures from the data. The successful inclusion of communication technology in low-voltage energy distribution networks is prerequisite for the digitisation of electricity networks. That's where we come into play. We now offer an end-to-end service that we develop on the basis of end customer requirements. Our focus is on customer experience in the form of the greatest possible flexibility and ease of operation.

How far are you from your ideal retirement age? 20 years?10? Perhaps only five? However close you are, you should be regularly reviewing your retirement savings account balances to confirm that you're on track to meet your goals.
Unfortunately, only 18% of Americans are "very confident" that they'll in fact have what they need to enjoy retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. On the flip-side, one-third of Americans aren't confident they'll have enough. If you're in this latter group, making "catch-up" contributions can help your situation. Here's what they are and how you can make the most of them.
Catch-up contributions are additional amounts beyond the regular annual limits that workers can contribute to certain tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs. The higher limits are designed to help people who haven't saved enough to meet their goals — and are closer to retirement age. So only those 50 and older are eligible to make catch-up contributions.
Say that you've contributed the standard 2018 limit of $18,500 to your 401(k) account. If you're 50 or older, you can put aside an extra $6,000, for a total of $24,500. If your employer offers a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) instead, the
regular contribution maxes out at $12,500 in 2018. But if you're 50 or older, you're allowed to contribute an additional $3,000 — or $15,500 in total this year.
Be sure to check with your employer before making catch-up contributions. Although most 401(k) plans and SIMPLEs offer catch-up contributions, not all do.
Another way to save more after age 50 is through a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. With either plan, those 50 or older generally can contribute another $1,000 above the $5,500 limit for 2018. However, the ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is phased out based on income, and this option may not be available to higher-income individuals.
The benefits of making catch-up contributions differ depending on which account you're considering. With a traditional IRA, contributions may be tax deductible, providing you with immediate tax savings. (The deductibility phases out at higher income levels if you or your spouse is covered by an employer retirement plan.)
Roth contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but qualified withdrawals are tax-free. By contributing to a Roth IRA and taking the tax hit up front, you won't lose any of the income to taxes at withdrawal, provided you take them when you're at least 59½ and have held the account at least five years. Another option if you'd like to enjoy tax-free withdrawals is to convert some or all of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA — although you'll also take an up-front tax hit.
If you're self-employed, retirement plans such as an individual 401(k) — or solo 401(k)s — also allow catch-up contributions. A solo 401(k) is a plan for those with no other employees. To catch up, you can add $6,000 to the regular yearly limit of $18,500 in 2018. But that's just the employee salary deferral portion of the contribution.
You can also make an "employer" contribution. The total combined employee-employer contribution is limited to 25% of compensation, up to $55,000, plus the $6,000 catch-up contribution, for a total of $61,000 in 2018.
On first glance, catch-up contributions may seem like too little, too late. But don't underestimate the impact these additional savings dollars can have when compounded over time — even if you have only 10 years to invest before you retire. To help ensure catch-up contributions are enough to enable you to reach your retirement goals, talk to your Lenox Advisor. He or she can assess your savings needs based on your income, your retirement plans, when you hope to leave work and other financial goals.

On the island of North Uist, in the Outer Hebrides archipelago on the northwest coast of Scotland, a site-specific installation shows the impact of future climate change with a visual reference to rising sea levels.
ANOTHER PLACE and ANOTHER TIME
In 1997, in Cuxhaven, Germany, the British sculptor Antony Gormley installed ANOTHER PLACE, a sculpture comprised of 100 life-sized iron figures, along the coast between the North Sea and the mouth of the Elbe River. The figures were spread 2.5 kilometers down the coast and a kilometer out to sea, facing the horizon and becoming submerged with the tides each day in September and October of that year.
JR au Louvre
In Paris, the iconic pyramid that serves as the main entrance to the Musée du Louvre seems to have temporarily disappeared. The illusion is the result of an anamorphic installation by the street artist JR.
Museu do Amanhã
In Rio de Janeiro, the Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) has opened just in time to become, perhaps, the most incredible new museum of 2015. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the Museu do Amanhã is the showpiece of a redeveloped cultural district.
Anish Kapoor at the Château de Versailles
From June 9 through November 1, the Château de Versailles presents an exhibition of sculptural works by Anish Kapoor. It is the eighth exhibition of contemporary works at Versailles since 2008, and coincides with the tercentenary of the death of Louis XIV.

I love hiking as you can probably know. I love the fact that you are in the woods, going to the top of the mountain and seeing a beautiful and amazing view. Seriously, I feel very grateful to be able to do that and also to have a hiking spot at like 30 minutes away from me. It's incredible. I love it.
I go hiking half of the time at Mont Saint-Hilaire because it's close from where I live and it's beautiful. I did a trail I never did before and OMG it was beautiful. I was with a friend that I never hike with before and we were kind of the only one on the trail. It was such a beautiful day and such an amazing hike. We talk about so many things and the view the whole time of the woods and everything was fantastic. We saw three deer and they were so cute.
Further, the smells of the woods in autumn, it's kind of the best. It smells fresh, cold and it just makes me happy and calm. The woods are kind of my therapist.
I highly recommend mount for people who live close to Montreal, it's not so far, its beautiful activities to do with the family and friends.
Where is your favourite hiking spot?

It's true that the earlier a child's LD is identified and addressed, the greater his chances of success. However, there are many reasons why some children aren't identified until middle school or high school. Depending on the type and severity of the specific LD and a child's ability to compensate for it, some students don't appear to struggle until their teen years. So don't despair; make the most of special education services that are available while you can.
Special education services are available in public schools through Grade 12, so if your child is eligible it's possible to get an IEP until he graduates from high school or turns 22* (whichever comes first). (Note: 22 is the maximum age for special education services in most states.) In fact, having an IEP in high school is a great idea because, in addition to receiving academic support and interventions, teenagers with IEPs are entitled to transition planning, a process that is crucial to a student's success after high school. Transition services must be included in the first IEP that will be in effect when a student turns 16, but you can (and should) start preparing for it when the student is 14 or 15.

Just beautiful, Nedra! I am in awe of how well you have taken this photo and interpreted so precisely in fabric! And that you managed to do this while in the midst of a move--most impressive! Savannah is such a lovely place! But I'm sure all your friends in Massachusetts will miss you. Maybe in Georgia you can connect with our new member Lois, who lives in Atlanta!ReplyDelete
It is lovely Nedra! And we will be neighbors, We moved to Atlanta almost 2 years ago. Savannah is just lovely, I am sure you will be so happy there.ReplyDelete
Well Done! You did such a nice job on conveying the movement of the canyon and the colors are gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Nedra...don't go!!! But I suppose you have read Saving Cee Cee Honeycut who moved from New England to Savanah and she loved it!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to hear all about your new home. You did a terrific job of capturing the feel of the photo...and compliments for getting permission and finishing in what are busy times.
Nedra I too am doubly impressed by your quilt rendering and doing it during a move. I didn't feel I could do any of the canyon photos I chose off the internet any justice so I played it safe with fabric strips. You achieved an awesome outcome. I also relate to the stress of studio uprooting which I am currently experiencing through a remodel/makeover floor to ceiling. Ugh Kudos for your lovely quilt and home relocation.ReplyDelete
Hi Nedra ! What a fabulous rendition of the Wall Street Canyon scene ! You did an incredible job with all the different perspectives; I felt like I was right inside that canyon. And kudos to you for seeking permission to use someone else's most-likely copyrighted image ! Thanks for taking my challenge word into such a beautiful journey through "Wall Street" !ReplyDelete
I love this quilt! It is a wonderful representation in fabric of a photo. Great job!ReplyDelete

University of Chicago Kicks Off Inaugural Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration with Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa
The University of Chicago is celebrating its inaugural campus-wide Hispanic Heritage Month this September 15th through the end of October.
The celebration is made possible through an Inclusive Climate grant. Backed by the Vice Provost for Academic Leadership, Advancement and Diversity, Inclusive Climate grants are part of the University of Chicago's Diversity and Inclusion Initiative. Earlier this spring, a Pilot Something grant was awarded to launch the Hispanic Heritage Month series, with the hope of establishing it as formal annualized programming.
The introduction of the celebration is timely: The incoming University of Chicago undergraduate class of 2021 was comprised of 14% Hispanic or Latino students, and is expected to grow as the population continues to shift in the next decade. The surrounding Chicago community is also shifting – the last census statistics show that Chicago's Hispanic population grew by 17,000 in a one-year period. For the first time, Hispanics are the second-largest ethnic group in the city. This means about 30 percent of the Windy City's population is now of Hispanic or Latino descent.
In 2017, the University of Chicago made strides to support this critical, growing community. The institution urged the current White House administration to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and expressed a firm stance by sharing these efforts through university wide-communications. The University also welcomed 17 undergraduates, graduate students, visiting faculty from Puerto Rico who were displaced as a result of Hurricane Maria.
The Inclusive Climate grant seeks to build upon this momentum in providing additional forums for the University of Chicago to demonstrate that the Hispanic and larger immigrant community are active, essential contributors to its academic, professional, and extracurricular climate.
The Hispanic Heritage Month program aims to celebrate the many meaningful contributions of the Latino diaspora and unify the growing University of Chicago Latino community, while also connecting the University to the broader Latino population in Chicago.
On Tuesday September 25th, the University hosted a kickoff reception featuring Councilman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, the first openly gay Latino elected to Chicago City Council. The reception was held at the Center for the Identity + Inclusion, which generously opened its space to the community for free for the event. Attendees included representatives from the Latinx student groups and LGBT groups including members of Booth's OUTreach, as well as community partners including the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Carlos Ramirez-Rosa is a lifelong Chicagoan who has served as a community organizer, congressional caseworker, and currently as the Thirty-Fifth Ward Alderman. He has led legislative efforts to win property tax relief for working class homeowners, paid sick leave for Chicago workers, equality for transgender people in public facilities, and accountability and transparency on municipal financial transactions. He is now working to return surplus TIF dollars to neighborhood public schools, and ensure Chicago is a city that welcomes and integrates immigrants. He is also a product of Chicago public schools. He received his high school diploma from Chicago's Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, and his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In his remarks, he encouraged students to remain civically engaged and connected to their heritage and communities.
The celebration is organized by the Hispanic Heritage Month Planning Committee, comprised of members from across the university, including graduate students and staff from the Booth School of Business, the Harris School of Public Policy, and the School of Social Service Administration. Members of the committee lead campus organizations such as the Hispanic American Business Student Association, the Coalition of Minorities, and the Hispanic/Latinx Resource Group.
The kick-off reception was one of a series of programs including Pachanga! to be held as the second part of the celebration. Hispanic Heritage Month also seeks to promote broader programming throughout the campus being hosted by other Latinx student groups. The Hispanic community is an integral part of the global leadership of the university, city, and nation in fields such as business and medicine – fields where the University of Chicago has always paved the way for the future.
On Tuesday, October 9th the Latino Medical Student Association of the Pritzker School of Medicine will be hosting a lecture by Dr. Ramón Gutiérrez on the Development of the Latino Identity in the United States. Dr. Gutiérrez is a Preston & Sterling Morton Distinguished Service Professor here at the University of Chicago and has authored countless works on the subjects of Chicano/Latin American history, colonial Latin America, and Mexican immigration.
On Friday, October 12th several organizations including The Latinx Student Association (LSA) of SSA, the Center for Latin American Studies, Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, and the Latino Policy Forum will be hosting a conversation with award-winning journalist Juan González. Gonzalez's investigative reports on urban affairs, the labor movement, the environment, race relations and political troubles in Latin America have won widespread recognition, including two George Polk awards for commentary and a 2004 Leadership Award from the National Hispanic Heritage Foundation. He is a founder and past president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and helped to found and lead both the the Young Lords Party during the late 1960s and the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights during the late 1970s.
We encourage students to continue to engage in this inaugural university-wide Hispanic Heritage Month celebration and support the University of Chicago in continuing to be a clear, committed voice in celebrating the scholars and students who fulfill the highest aspirations in research, education, and business at one of the country's foremost institutions of higher education.

Cornwallis Wharf
Wow, it's been a super busy last few months and I've barely had time to get out and photograph for myself or even edit stuff I've photographed earlier in the year. These shots of Cornwallis Wharf were taken back in the beginning of August on the same day as the shots I posted nearly a month ago from the Donald McLean lookout.
The weather was changing very quickly that day, the sun would be shining one minute and then suddenly the rain would pour as if someone had flicked a switch. I'm guessing it was this volatile weather that let me have a wharf thats usually populated with fishermen completely to myself.

Outside assistance can be very valuable to seniors who have trouble with day-to-day activities, suffer from an illness, or have had surgery. We know that while family members want to help their elderly loved one, they may not always have the ability to help as much as they desire.
Assisting Hands in North Miami, FL, can help you care for your senior relatives with the senior home care services we offer.
Benefits of Hiring Senior Home Care Providers
Acknowledging that an elderly loved one needs help with their everyday life can be overwhelming. They may only need help periodically, or they may require supervision on a constant basis. Depending on the amount of help they need, caring for a senior can feel as though you're caring for a young child; the care you provide is based upon their mental and/or physical limitations.
With our senior care services, we will help you and your loved one. When you act as an informal caregiver, you are often stressed, physically tired, and lacking sleep. In addition, providing 24/7 care is nearly impossible. No matter what you need or what your circumstances are, Assisting Hands in North Miami, FL, can help.
Our Senior Home Care Services
Assisting Hands in North Miami, FL, is trusted to provide senior home care services, which includes help with everyday tasks, continual supervision, driving services, and more. We can help with any combination of the following:
- Personal Care: Although they seem trivial, tasks like bathing and grooming can be almost impossible for seniors. Our caregivers will help, providing assistance with medication reminders, oral hygiene, restroom usage, incontinence care, and more.
- Meal Preparation: Preparing meals can be particularly difficult for elderly individuals because of the long period of standing, reaching, and bending involved. With our services, our home health aides can assist with meal preparation. We will go grocery shopping, cook food, serve the meals, and wash the dishes.
- Transportation: There are various reasons as to why seniors may not be able to drive. No matter the reason, we can help. We can give your elderly loved one a ride to appointments, or we can run errands like prescription pick-ups or mail drop-offs.
- Companionship: The mental and physical stimulation that is provided by basic companionship can be very beneficial for elderly individuals. We take the time necessary to get to know the seniors we care for. We will play games, do hobbies, and go on nature walks with them.
- Respite Care: We offer respite care services for seniors who don't require professional senior home care on a regular basis. This gives informal caregivers a necessary break from their services.
Thanks to advancements in medicine, people are living longer lives. Because of this, senior care services have become even more important. At Assisting Hands in North Miami, FL, we guarantee that we will provide compassionate, quality service. Our caregivers have CPR and first aid training and can address specific needs. Furthermore, we take pride in providing your loved one with exceptional services.
