Imagine yourself in a Khan - a Bedouin encampment in the heart of the wilderness, surrounded by the silence of the desert, with an infinite view of the wilderness stretching away to the horizon. A large tent faces east, and on the floor are straw mats and brightly colored pillows. A small fire burns in the corner and a finjan of coffee is boiling on the fire. The sound of a flute is heard as a smiling Bedouin shepherd passes by with his flock and waves. An old shepherd invites you into the tent and offers you pita bread with tehina, fresh salad, and magluba - a mixture of chicken, rice, vegetables, and potatoes. The meal is followed by a desert of baklava cakes served with hot Turkish coffee and sweet herbal tea.
Bedouin lodging turns this fantasy into reality. In Bedouin culture, primary importance is placed on receiving guests and on warm, open-hearted hospitality. The Bedouin are wandering tribes who live in the desert. In the past these tribes wandered with their flocks of sheep, goats, and cows looking for food and water. Today their lifestyle has changed, and most of the Bedouin in Israel live in permanent urban settlements and not in tents.
There are many Bedouin tent lodgings for travelers in Israel's desert regions. Travelers return again and again with renewed excitement to enjoy this unique type of lodging and its authentic atmosphere. Camels rest in their coral, waiting to take you for a ride in the desert on their humped backs. The warm wind blows, and guests lounge on mats and rugs, luxuriating in the quiet, and drawn by the calm of the desert. Meals are served on large metal trays, and diners sit around a low table on mats or pillows, enjoying the exotic cuisine. In the evening, just before the moon rises, an old Bedouin will tell stories about the Bedouin heritage, lifestyle, faith, culture, and traditions. His stories are accompanied by Bedouin songs and music played on a flute or wooden mortar and pestle. While the music continues into the night, you can end your unforgettable evening with a moonlight walk in the desert.

Wonderful cute apartment, location is super good to reach and the host is really a great guy. Can only recommend you to book it. If we visit Brussels again we surely would stay with him again
We really enjoyed our stay at iDesign Apartment. Edmund was really great and welcoming, giving us tips and useful information about the city. The flat was stylish, and in a good location, 5 minute walk to Midi station, and a short train ride or 20 minute walk to Grand Place. Would definitely recommend to friends and stay there again if we return to Brussels!
This is one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in; perfectly sized, equipped and located for a relaxing getaway! The host, Edmund, was extremely welcoming and gave us an excellent introduction to the area as well as a vast array of up-to-date maps and guidebooks for Brussels and the nearby cities. The apartment was beautifully presented, clean and contained everything we needed and more.
If we are ever in Brussels again I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
Awesome flat just next to Gare du Midi railway station. The flat is unbelievably cool: modern design, quality furniture and appliances, and it is just perfect for a couple. Inside you can find whatever you need to make your staying in Bruxelles as comfortable as possible - including a PC connected to a widescreen TV, a fancy multi-color lamp, a powerful microwave-combined oven and some really fashionable cutlery! It is so close to downtown, and yet it manages to be so quiet and cozy that you cannot help feeling at home there. If you arrive by train, this flat is your choice, since the railway station is just a 5-minute walk from here; however, thanks to the good public transportation network, the flat is really convenient if you arrive by plane, too, since the Clemenceau subway station is a 5-minute walk, too. In a nutshell: go for it without hesitation! At this price and with such features, this is by far the best option to enjoy your staying in Bruxelles!
Edmund is a nice and helpful person!
The house is very very beautiful!
You don't be afraid of the multicultural neighborhood, in the square in front of the house with a tram arrived in the beautiful Art Nouveau neighborhood and the nearby Station du midi in a few minutes you are downtown!
We had a great stay in Brussels, especially in Edmund's apartment.
It really is a very nice apartment with a good travel connection. The host was very kind and helpful with some extra insiders' tips.
The apartment was in a sound condition and nicely furnished. You had everything you needed for some days. The value-for-money ratio was awesome.
If you want to stay in Brussels in a neat apartment you should stay there. There is nothing I can complain about. Next time in Brussels I would definitely choose Edmund's flat again.
The apartment is very very nice, with all the amenities. Is very comfortable to be so near of one of the main train station of Brussels (specially if you flight to Charleroi Airport). Edmund is very kind and he helped us with all our doubts, we think that stay heres is a perfect plan for couples, so we only can say the best words about this apartment and this host.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut und komplett eingerichtet. Wohn- und Schlafraum haben ein sehr modernes Design, das Badezimmer ist etwas enger aber zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Mich persönlich stören in Badezimmern Duschvorhänge, eine Duschabtrennung ist hygienischer. Das Appartement liegt sehr verkehrsgünstig zur Tram und dem Bahnhof Midi. Alles ist zu Fuß in kürzester Zeit erreichbar. Für den täglichen Bedarf sind in der Umgebung einige kleine Läden vorhanden. Eddy selbst ist ein wandelnder Stadtführer und immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereit. Ich komme gerne wieder

As a teacher, principal and superintendent, I found that students and staff alike will rise or fall to meet expectations. When you expect excellence, you achieve excellent results.
When you set the bar lower, excellence will seldom be achieved. Mississippi's consistent appearance on the bottom of the state-to-state comparisons of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is due in large part to a culture of low expectations that has permeated this state for far too long. Making the changes necessary to improve education in Mississippi is a long and winding road that begins with increasing expectations for everyone: students, teachers, school leaders and communities.
We began increasing expectations by increasing the rigor of our curriculum. Within days of beginning my tenure as state superintendent, I received a call from then-U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings who informed me that our curriculum was not going to be approved by the U.S. Department of Education because our expectations were far too low.
Our students need to be learning the same information at each grade level that students in Massachusetts, Maine and Missouri are learning. Our students must be prepared to compete against students from other states and countries for college and career opportunities when they complete their education, so our students must be learning the same information at each step along the way. We have revised our mathematics and language arts curricula for each grade level and now have one of the strongest in the country. We require students to demonstrate a much greater depth of knowledge than ever before.
Of course, we need to measure student progress to ensure that they are mastering the more rigorous course content. The Mississippi Curriculum Test, Second Edition (MCT2) represents a proportional increase in rigor to reflect the more advanced coursework. The MCT2 was first administered in May of 2008 and will be administered again this May. Once we have data from two years of testing, we will use those test scores to determine how well all schools and districts are performing.
The Commission on School Accreditation and a special task force have worked very hard over the past few months to develop a rating system that appropriately reflects student achievement and will clearly demonstrate which schools are achieving truly excellent results and those schools that are not growing their students. A correlation to the national average has been drawn so that communities will know if their schools are performing at, above or below the national average. The Commission on School Accreditation recently approved the draft rating system, which will now go the State Board of Education for them to consider sending out for public comment at their meeting this month.
Now that we have appropriate rigor in the curriculum and assessment system and a way of translating that scores into clearly defined levels of performance, we must have strong accountability measures for school leaders. The Children First Act of 2009 provides the kind of strong accountability that is needed to ensure that superintendents and board members find a way to get the job done. The Children First Act cleared a major hurdle last week. It has been passed in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, but with slightly different versions. Each chamber will now consider the legislation passed by their fellow legislators as it continues to work its way through the process.
The curriculum, assessment and accountability measures all represent crucial pieces of the education puzzle and are coming together as never before. I believe 2009 will be remembered as a year of convergence for education in Mississippi, when school leaders, the State Board and lawmakers came together to put children first and set the stage for dramatic improvement in education in the years to come.

Daniel Ghita Returns on December 10 in Croatia
- Written by Rian Scalia
As he's done in the past, Daniel Ghita took to Facebook today to announce a fight. He announced that he'll be fighting on December 10th in Croatia, his opponent being Mladen Kujundzic.
The fight can be seen as a tune-up for Ghita, who faces Hesdy Gerges on January 28th in a rematch for the It's Showtime World Heavyweight Title. Kujundzic is a Croatian fighter who has been fighting for Fight Code lately, losing in a competitive fight to Freddy Kemayo. Kujundzic showed that he was a decent fighter to hang with Kemayo, but definitely not anywhere near Ghita's level. The money is on Ghita to take him out in a round or two.
With the K-1 Final 16 falling through, many other fighters have taken to other promotions to secure fights in the gap between October and It's Showtime's January 28th show. A lot of the fighters have found a place on two of SuperKombat's upcoming cards. While there are no details about this card or even the location in Croatia, it's surprising that Ghita isn't also on one of the Superkombat cards, given that it's a Romanian promotion.

We had quite an eventful opening Youth Season in Missouri for my 10 year old son this year (4/10/2010). We put our decoys out in the field first thing in the morning. After about an hour and a half we had 3 strutters come in behind us and had one directly to our right within 15 yards, but never could get a shot off. They never committed to the decoys at all and stayed in the timber directly behind us. It was about as close an encounter and as much action as you can get without actually getting a shot off!
After some breakfast we thought we would sit for the last 2 hours of the day (Quittin time is 1PM in MO). This time, though, we were smart and sat facing into the timber! After an hour of sitting I peek out into the field and sure enough a long beard is walking along the tree line straight in front of our setup towards the decoys. Luckily, my son was able to swing his gun around and get his first shot at a turkey. Dropped him with his 20 ga at about 25 yards. It happened real quick, but we were just as excited as if he came in strutting from 100 yards away. Definitely a proud moment and another turkey hunter to add to the brotherhood!!

Quasimidi PolyMorph
The all new PolyMorph sequencer / synthesizer is a full featured and powerful virtually analog synthesizer that assumes an evolved form and purpose of its breakthrough hit predecessor - the RaveOLution 309! First the sounds: the PolyMorph is basically four synths loaded with synth and drum sounds geared towards electronica and other forms of synthesizer music. Individual ADSR's and filters per oscillator make for a totally tweakable and flexible synthesizer. The sequencer: 16 step, 8 variations, 4 parts or instruments. Parts and even notes can be muted or changed in real time to build and decompose your grooves or synth textures. There are also preset phrase patterns to play around with.
Aside from sounding quite nice, the PolyMorph is beefed up by a great set of effects. Add distortion, EQing, reverb, chorus, flange, etc. to each of the four parts independently! The controls, knobs and sequencer can all be controlled via MIDI for in-studio use, however the impressive multi-effects implementation alone is a major hint that the PolyMorph is a machine suited for live, DJ and on the fly music production. The PolyMorph is for those of you looking to create synth music from a stand-alone box that is not entirely focused on dance. It is used by Orbital, Jean-Michel Jarre and the Prodigy.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:45 PM GMT on May 29, 2007
Does the marine biosphere mix the ocean? A group of oceanographers led by W.K. Dewar of Florida State University argue that the swimming action of fish and other marine organisms may play a critical role in driving ocean currents. If true, large-scale over-fishing or the collapse of the marine food chain due to pollution or ocean acidification may cause significant changes in ocean currents--and Earth's climate.
Figure 1. Rainbow made From a sperm whale using his blowhole. Image taken June 17, 2006 in Kaikora, New Zealand by wunderphotographer jhfelder.
The Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) or Thermohaline Circulation is a well-known feature of the ocean circulation. In the Atlantic, the Gulf Stream current forms a portion of the MOC. Gulf Stream waters flow to the region near Greenland, where an input of fresh, denser water from melting ice and river run-off creates a downward flow of water that then moves southward along the ocean bottom towards the Equator. This deep water eventually returns to the surface in the mid-Atlantic to complete a cell of the MOC. Scientists have long thought that the energy needed to drive the MOC came from winds and tides--about two terrawatts of energy (Munk and Wunsch, 1998). However, Dewar et al. show that the mechanical energy added to the ocean by the swimming action of whales is about 1% of this total, and the swimming action of other marine organisms (primarily zooplankton) adds up to 50% of this total--one terrawatt of energy. While the authors admit that their calculations may have large errors, this research shows that marine life may have a heretofore unappreciated large impact on Earth's climate. Our climate is intimately connected to the sun, life on land, life in the ocean, and human activities in an incredibly complex web of interconnections. It is our challenge to understand this system, even as we change it and it changes of its own accord.
My next blog will be Thursday afternoon, when the new Dr. Bill Gray/Phil Klotzbach Atlantic hurricane season forecast will be released.

Yokkao Extreme Results: Giorgio Petrosyan & Buakaw Win, Saenchai Upset By Pinca
- Written by Rian Scalia
Yokkao Extreme took place in Milan, Italy today and despite the lack of means to watch the event, results are out. Among match-ups featured on the card were Buakaw Por. Pramuk vs. Dzhabar Askerov in the main event, Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Abraham Roqueni and Saenchai vs. Fabio Pinca.
Not surprisingly, Buakaw Por. Pramuk defeated Dzhabar Askerov for the second time. Giorgio Petrosyan took what people are saying was a clear decision over Abraham Roqueni. In a bit of an upset, Fabio Pinca defeated Saenchai by decision. Saenchai was not the overwhelming favorite because of the big weight difference, but many expected him to win. This is the first time Saenchai has ever lost to a farang (Non Thai).
We can only work with what we have here officially from Yokkao, so many results are not complete but we do have the winner of each fight at least. We'll update these results with more details when they get out.

Models of Conflict and Cooperation - Rick Gillman and David Housman
An Introductory Course on Mathematical Game Theory - Julio Gonzalez-Diaz, Ignacio Garcia-Jurado and M Gloria Fiestras-Janeiro
It all started with von Neumann and Morgenstern half a century ago. Their Theory of Games and Economic Behavior gave birth to a whole new area of mathematics concerned with the formal problems of rational decision as experienced by multiple agents. Now, game theory is all around us, making its way even into regular conversations. In the present book, Mehlmann presents mathematical foundations and concepts illustrated via social quandaries, mock political battles, evolutionary confrontations, economic struggles, and literary conflict. Most of the standard models--the prisoners' dilemma, the arms race, evolution, duels, the game of chicken, etc.--are here. Many non-standard examples are also here: the Legend of Faust, shootouts in the movies, the Madness of Odysseus, to name a few.
The author uses familiar formulas, fables, and paradoxes to guide readers through what he calls the "hall of mirrors of strategic decision-making". His light-hearted excursion into the world of strategic calculation shows that even deep insights into the nature of strategic thought can be elucidated by games, puzzles, and diversions.
Originally written in German and published by Vieweg-Verlag, this AMS edition is a translation tailored for the English-speaking reader. It offers an intriguing look at myths and paradoxes through the lens of game theory, bringing the mathematics into sharper focus at the same time. This book is a must for those who wish to consider game theory from a different perspective: one that embraces science, literature, and real-life conflict.
The Game's Afoot! would make an excellent book for an undergraduate course in game theory. It can also be used for independent study or as supplementary course reading. The connections to literature, films and everyday life also make it highly suitable as a text for a challenging course for non-majors. Its refreshing style and amusing combination of game theoretic analysis and cultural issues even make it appealing as recreational reading.
Mathematicians of any level; educators interested in game theory, economics, and social and behavioral sciences; general readers with an interest in serious mathematics at its most playful.
"Fascinating, entertaining and enlightening reading."
-- European Mathematical Society Newsletter
From reviews of the German edition:
"The author, well known for various imaginative, entertaining and instructive writings in the area of game theory, and for his game-theoretic excursions into classical literature, has now brought out this delightful little book on the basics of noncooperative games ... [The book is] rewarding reading for a rather wide variety of reasonably well-educated persons. The reader will gain an appreciation for the mathematical modelling of conflict in economics, the social sciences and biology, and get a glimpse of game-theoretic analysis of conflict in some of the classical literature."
-- Zentralblatt MATH
"Through the amusing exposition of the material, overflowing with jokes and general culture, the new book by Alexander Mehlmann has become bedtime reading for me ... It is a pleasure to see such things as the Dilemma of the Arms Race, Goethe's Mephisto, the Chain-Store Paradox, and the Madness of Odysseus brought under one game-theoretic roof."
-- Eric Lessing (from a translation of "What I am reading" in Die Presse)
"The book is an erudite and entertaining account of noncooperative games and is designed for a broad audience. Newcomers to game theory are likely to find this book to be a playful introduction to the topic; whereas experts are likely to discover delightful new games to contemplate."

Almost to the day, seabird biologist Bill Montevecchi got a call this August that was disturbingly similar to one he got two years ago.
In 2012, he received word the northern gannets at Cape St. Mary's were doing something that nobody had seen them do in any colony in the world before.
Like somebody had thrown a switch, the adults, en masse, abandoned their nests, leaving their chicks alone, hungry and, ultimately, doomed.
The colony at Cape St. Mary's has been observed for about 50 years, but there are colonies in the U.K. that have been observed for centuries.
"Gannets never abandon their chicks," Montevecchi says.
One parent stays with the chick while the other goes out to sea to feed and collect food for their young. There are simply too many predators around for a chick to be left alone.
Nevertheless, this year when a call came in about peculiar behaviour being noticed at the colony, it was again abandonment of the chicks by the parents, albeit on a smaller scale than the all-out desertion seen in 2012.
"What is happening this year is not as extreme, but it is extreme," Montevecchi says.
Montevecchi says one third of the chicks at the colony this year look as though they have been deserted.
It's also something of a mystery. Once seabirds have invested the time and energy to have a chick, they don't just forsake them for any reason.
The answer appears to be a rising ocean temperature and the consequences that has on the food available for the diving seabirds.
"The water temperature was outside the box extremely warm in 2012. It's warmer this year in 2014," says Montevecchi.
He describes it as a sudden pulse in water temperature that drives the gannets to desperately cast off — one day there and the next gone — but it's a sudden spike caused by a long-term trend in climate change. The gannets seem to be going further and further to find colder waters and the types of fish that frequent them.
"What does that parental absence mean? It means those adults are out there hunting for food and they're going a very long ways away," Montevecchi says.
Those are survival trips, he adds. The adults are going a long way to feed themselves, but that means there will be nothing to feed the young when and if they come back. In the parents' absence, the chicks become prey. They grow weak with hunger and fall off the cliffs. They starve.
Besides these long-range feeding trips, there have also been observations of gannets diving alongside fishing boats to grab smaller, discarded cod. They have also been seen scavenging fish guts, a very odd thing for a diving bird of prey to do.
"Gannets don't go after fish guts," Montevecchi says.
There have been incidents of kittiwakes dying on the nest due to parental abandonment.
All these factors speak to him of climate change. As far as Cape St. Mary's is concerned, it is the most southern northern gannet colony in the world and so could be more susceptible to a rising ocean temperature. But the behaviour of these birds has big consequences for people, too, Montevecchi warns. If the fish they rely on aren't there then the ones people rely on won't be either.
As for the fate of the colony, there isn't any way to undo what has been done this year. It's a longer view and solution that needs to be found, he says.
"There's really nothing we can do," Montevecchi says. "But what we can do is try and understand it, which is really important."

Upgraded the cvs2cl package too and gave the #debian.de hompage a new layout. Not much news besides this.
Upgraded the cvs2cl package too and gave the #debian.de hompage a new layout. Not much news besides this.
Just uploaded deborphan 0.1.24-1. I upped Standards-Version to 3.5something which means I had to support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Well, not actually had, according to policy it's only recommended and not a MUST. I looked at a few packages and how they did it and found out that hardly any packages have support for it yet. Hmmm.
Hope to get really online this week, radio lan to the university is finished now so I just need them to plug the cable into router port "csrkbd FE1/0/13".
At home and having new connection over the weekend. Used it to build new debs of empire (fixing one packaging bug) and deborphan which has some nice new features in it's new upstream version. I still need to do a new deb of Class::Methodmaker which has a new upstream for a few days now. I should also check out how cvs2cl is dooing.
I hope to get Inet connection in Munich (where I study) RSN. I bought a computer to act as proxy,file,ntp et al server this week for the LAN at the students' home home. If only the uplink would get installed soon....
I built new debian-keyring stats this WE, you can have a look at them at http://www.palfrader.org/weboftrust/20010203/. You'll probably be most interested in the gfx/ dir there. I'm not too bad in the web of trust :)
Also finished an acceptable version for the #debian.de hompage on IRCNet. Used some wml, some sgml (insert other buzzwords as needed). Stole the layout from www.debian.org since it looks nice and makes sense. Joey Martin Shulze is thinking of creating another layout looking STish. Should be no real problem using it once it's finished due to the nature of wml.
The LinCVS author mailed me stating that one more version of lincvs will depend on tmake to build. This is unfortunate as I refuse to build a package that needs non-free software in the build process. Upstream promised to change to autoconf/make RSN tho.
Uploaded libgnupg-perl.deb yesterday. It is yet another perl interface to the Gnu Privacy Guard. It has some advantages to libgnupg-interface-perl which I also packaged some months ago. It is easier to use (IMHO), has less overhead but is by far not as powerfull as GnuPG::Interface.
Also got a jabber account these days. My id is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now 4 ppl on #debian.de (IRCNet) asking the same question within 1 or 2 hours finally was the last straw. I took action and startet the FAQ collection immediatly. First time I used sgml.
I also started a rebuild of my homepage using wml (my first time using wml too). I'll probably be able to finish it within a week or so.
Crist van Pelt released a new upstream version of deborphan which I've yet to package. Because some fellow developers on #debian asked /NOT/ to upload a package soon it's not really of a high priority. Rationale for not uploading is that a Package needs to be at least 14 days in unstable to get into testing. The current deborphan already is 4 or 5 days old so I'll have to wait about 10 days. Should be plenty of time to do an untar, cvs import, dch, and cvs-buildpackage. Not to forget the dupload.
Somehow I absolutely don't feel like coding currently although I have a few interesting ideas wrt anonymous remailers. I already collect remailer stats from several pingers (which remindes me to check out that perl script - it produces hanging processes every now and than). It would be great to analyze and visualize the numbers somehow. Like what's a remailer's mean latency and uptime, how does it evolve over the time and such things.
Shorty promised to do some work on keylookup a few weeks back. Nothing happened so far. Looks like I'll finish the project alone. Only two or three things are still in the TODO file. For those who don't know, keylookup is a small script that allows you to query a given keyserver for a searchstring, shows you the list of matches and then offers to import each of the keys into your gnupg keyring. Should be quite easy to support pgp too but I don't care.
Had a short email conversation with Martin Michlmayr and Joy about that wnpp should really be a mailling list. We agreed and I filed a bug against lists.debian.org. Hope we get it soon.
Always wondered what this advogato thingie was and on a discussion on #debian OPN I finally decided to check it out. Well here I am - never written a diary in my live - trying to somehow fill my account page (I love this metastuff - it gets you words:).
Uploaded to packages for Debian's QA (quality assurance) today (grafix and sciplot) which missed a Conflicts: header now that the binaries have been renamed and split into <lib> and <lib>-dev.
In the account settings you're asked for your homepage. This reminded me of just how out of date it is currently. Already added it to my TODO list (well that's a lie but I'll do - soon). Will probably use wml, cvs and Makefiles this time.
I also checked out gnukeyring by mbp for my new Palm which I got a few days back. Nice thing (wanted to report one wishlist bug too bug it already was filed (109050)). Need to look for a S/Key (OTP) generator for it too. And then I need to setup my boxen to accept them of course (advogato really should have a TODO box too)
Just checked out the new vim package in incoming
wichert made since the one
currently in the
archive is broken. Unfortunatly it is still broken. (one
wrong linebreak in a script anyway - so easily to fix
locally). I've mailed wiggy about this.
(Update: wiggy fixed the bug in vim before todays dinstall run. Great!)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

By Sarah Robinson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – After 25 years in business, Barbara Fleishhacker may be more of a downtown fixture than the old Riley's jewelry store that houses her store.
Fleishhacker opened the Main Attraction in 1988. Like Fleishhacker, the store on Main Street in downtown Tupelo has been a local favorite ever since.
The store that specializes in new and vintage clothing and accessories is branching out this spring and opening a new location.
Unfortunately for her many fans in Tupelo, it's not the shop around the corner. The Main Attraction's soon-to-be sister location will open this spring in the east Nashville neighborhood of Edge Hill.
It's a big move for the store and for Fleishhacker.
"I keep thinking I have lost my mind. But so far, everything I've done has just been meant to be," she said.
The Main Attraction East, slated to open in May, will be similar to the one in Tupelo but will focus more on vintage pieces. Fleishhacker said it will give her an opportunity to sell some of the pieces she has collected and held on to over the years.
While she will be spending a lot of time in Nashville initially to get things running, Fleishhacker said she will keep one foot in Tupelo and has not made plans to relocate completely.
The downtown Tupelo store is staying put. Brody Holland, who has managed the store for the past 13 years, will maintain day to day operations.
"I'm excited for her new venture," said Holland. "I hope I can do wonderful things here to keep the store growing while she's away."
Fleishhacker said the new store will be in a "young, urban neighborhood" just across the river from downtown Nashville. And although she knows any new move has its own level of risk, Fleishhacker said, "If it doesn't work out, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Longtime friend and customer Meredith Deas Tollison said she remembers when Fleishhacker first opened the store. She said as a young woman in Tupelo, Fleishhacker inspired her.
Tollison said that Fleishhacker encouraged her to develop her own style. "What a free spirit Barbara has always been. It meant so much to be able to walk into her store and pick out things that really expressed who I am," Tollison said, "and I can still do that today."
Tollison recalled that Fleishhacker threw a Madhatter's tea party for her and a group of friends as a graduation gift in 1991. The Main Attraction's wonderland-themed party is now an annual Halloween event that welcomes both shoppers and trick-or-treaters.

I've also experienced Islam to an effect that few here have, twice in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I've fought along side Muslims and killed other Muslims with those Muslims who would still today lay down their lives for me without question. Which one was a better student of Islam? Still not sure.
I've eaten with them, I've camped with them, I've been on the front line with them and slept peacefully amongst them.
Young Muslims are very much like Young Americans. They hate all the fighting, they wish it to stop, and they'd rather party and screw off more than anything else.
Regardless of all that. Deeply rooted in Islam is a very real evil. That evil has it's grip on Islam and is very much alive today. Clearly evident by anyone paying attention to such things.
B/c of this, I remain suspect of Islam.
Can you possibly imagine the psychological affect of a sleeper cell agent? It's as bad if not worse then sniper fire. It's a life altering situation.
Understanding the root of the matter, would you say that we are wrong to be suspect of Islam and those who claim to follow it?

Medpro seeks better valuation from Cipla after it won large government contracts since the time of the announcement of the deal
Mumbai: Indian drugmaker Cipla has postponed its plans to acquire majority stakes in South African firm Medpro on account of high valuations. Cipla had decided to acquire 51 percent stake in Medpro during November last year for $220 million.
Medpro, which is the thrird-largest South African pharma firm in the $3 billion African drug market, bought all its bulk drugs from Cipla. Interestingly, since the time of the announcement of the deal, Medpro won large government contracts that prompted its board to seek a better valuation from Cipla.
Cipla had been trying to expand its international operations over the past year and was trying to crack the prescription drug market in South Africa through Medpro products, which had a portfolio of central nervous system and respiratory drugs.

OK this will have a lot of pictures and probably take me all night to do this tutorial. Please do not comment until you see the end result hanging on a door. If you want to know what it turns out to be look at my posting toward the end of here: Quilts made using vintage machines! I've had more than a few people ask for a tutorial. I haven't written it yet - I just have pictures. If you have questions feel free AFTER I get the whole thing done so I don't mess things up. Thanks.
First you will need necessary equipment. I used a little old Spartan sewing machine in a rather bad case thing - it bounced along but I got it done using this little machine. This machine is secretly a chameleon - I'm not sure if it is turning black or green... (well, ok... the light and motor were borrowed from a Singer 185.)
I am having trouble getting the pictures to go on here - this may not turn out at all. I'll try one more frame.

Answers by Expert:
Questions concerning the practice of 'Brahmacharya' to know the self, & the means required are dealt with here.
The term 'Yoga' is a derivative of the Samskruth verb 'Yuj' which refers to union. 'Yoga', also called 'Brahma vidyâ' is the eternal dissolution of the individual 'Aham' (Ego) into the Atman (self) for 'Mukti' (liberation).
Mere indulgence in 'Âsana' or physical postures is not Yoga. Âsana is only one limb or 'Anga' of Yoga. The eight limbs viz. Yama, Niyama, Âsana, Prânâyâma, Pratyâhâra, Dhârana, Dhyâna and Samâdhi are the means to Yoga. Brahmacharya or spiritually based continence is one of the important components of 'Yama'. 'Brahmacharya':- "Brahmani charyathey ithi" - "To surrender one's Ego and go with the will of the Almighty."

Experiences and perspectives on death penalty to be discussed, April 17
Posted April 16, 2002; 12:58 a.m.
Two men who were convicted of murder and later exonerated, along with the daughter of a murder victim, will discuss their perspectives on the death penalty on Wednesday, April 17. The event, which is sponsored by the Princeton University chapter of Amnesty International , begins at 8 p.m. in McCosh 50.
The three lecturers are speaking on behalf of New Jerseyans for a Death Penalty Moratorium. Jimmy Landano was convicted of the murder of a police officer and later exonerated and released. George White was wounded by his wife's murderer but was then taken into custody and convicted of the crime. He eventually was exonerated and released. SueZann Bolser was nearly killed trying to defend her father from his attacker, but she launched a campaign against the execution of her father's murderer.

Phillip Parker King came to the west coast in September 1819. He surveyed parts of the Australian coast that had not been examined by Matthew Flinders. He visited the site of present day Wyndham on the Cambridge Gulf, in northern Western Australia. He was instructed to discover whether there was any river 'likely to lead to an interior navigation into this great continent'. While there, he made an ink sketch and a watercolour of Mount Cockburn, Cambridge Gulf, from which an engraving was later made.

Good News: Security Researcher Released on Bail
Hari Prasad, the Indian security researcher arrested for allegedly stealing an electronic voting machine, has been released on bail.
Earlier this year, an anonymous source gave the machine to Prasad and a team of researchers, who discovered critical security flaws. Under questioning by authorities last weekend, Prasad refused to divulge the identity of the source who gave them the machine. He was then arrested and reportedly charged with theft and trespass on the theory that he stole the machine himself.
According to the Indian news agency PTI, the magistrate who released Prasad on bail noted that "no offence was disclosed with Hari Prasad's arrest and even if it was assumed that [the electronic voting machine] was stolen it appears that there was no dishonest intention on his part...he was trying to show how [electronic voting] machines can be tampered with."
The court reportedly also asked the Election Commission of India to confirm or disprove Prasad's claim that the country's electronic voting machines can be compromised. If Prasad's claims are false, action could be taken against him, the magistrate said.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I hated how the top was rather plain looking, so I searched around and decided make this top instead, swapping out the collar colors of course. The top is made out of a stretch sateen and fully lined, I modified a vest pattern as needed so it had the proper fit a.k.a. very fitting. lol I think the hardest part was figuring out how to pattern the collar so the points met on the center front. The seam allowances kept throwing me off for some reason, so I had to redo the collar like 2-3 times until I was finally satisfied with it. ^^; The stripes on the collar are ribbon Heat'n Bonded on, and I added a bit of flair using some gaming pins, though you can't see them because of my wig. Oops. I deconstructed my old Genie shorts to make a new pattern for this, I have some further adjustments to make until I'm 100% satisfied with it so I can use it for future costumes as well.
- Personal Thoughts:
- A while back I put a poll on my deviantART asking what Genie costume I should do next, and this got the most votes, probably because it looks so Sailor Mars-ish. XD Genie is still my favorite K-Pop song/concept ever even after 2-3 years, so it's not something I plan on giving up anytime soon. lol
Wig Details
- Wig Brand
- Fantasy Sheep
- Wig Name
- 60 cm Long
- Styling Time
- less than 1 hour
- Wig Quality Rating
- 3 / 5.00
- Styling Notes
- I carefully layered the bottom of the wig so it doesn't look so bluntly cut like it did at Fanime 2011. I think it looks better now! The bangs are parted and styled with hairspray to keep them in place.
- Wig Review
- I love the color of this wig, styling it however is a bit of a nightmare due to the length of the wig. The fibers of the wig are nice, but it tangles like crap, I have to straighten this thing before and after each time I wear it. Even after I cut off a significant chunk off the wig, it STILL tangled like crap so I'm retiring this thing once I find a replacement...

Fantastic, they were really good to me, fixed the flywheel as well for a decent price, I definitely recommend.
Absolutely extraordinary brilliant, cannot fault them, extremely professional, wish I could give more stars, valeted the car as well, the car feels like it's brand new, thank you :)
Great! Came and picked the car up, changed the fan belt as well
Very friendly. Got straight on to the car.and done in know time.thank you.
Great service, will be using this garage for all my MOTs and car issues from now on.
charged exactly what they quoted
Great customer service and very happy with the end result. Very professional, well presented and friendly company, great communication throughout the day, work was done sooner than expected. Trusted the guy that picked my car up as soon as I met him. Was even more impressed when found out that they don't usually cater to my postcode area (Veterans Village Manchester M40) but were willing to be flexible. Will definitely be recommending B and G Autotechs and will definitely be doing business with them again. Thank you very much.
Service was great. Would reccomend
Very helpful and great service. Would definitely use again
good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
More than happy, very helpful
Did not diagnose the problem. Paid 72GBP just for checking error codes and erasing and topping up oil.

How about a Dallas "FIX"? Works for me!
I have not checked the accuracy of this, but it sounds good, anyway.
Recently, the city of Dallas, Texas passed a No Insurance ordinance: if you have no car insurance, your car will be towed.
To retrieve your car, you must show proof of insurance, pay for the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for each day the car is in the lot.
After the ordinance was passed, the impound lots were full after nine days. Most of those cars were driven by illegals. Not only are more uninsured drivers off the road, but it is taking away the illegals vehicle who wont pay for accidents or might endanger your life.
Dallas Solution:
Get them off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality.
Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this one.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
FWIW, remember this 'oldie-but-goodie'???
UBClunker mathThe person who calculated this bit of information went to high school in Pittsburgh , Pa. He is now & has been a professor at The University of West Virginia in Morgantown , West Virginia for the last forty-some years.
A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons a year.So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.They claim 700,000 vehicles so that's 224 million gallons saved per year.That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars.So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.We spent $8.57 for every dollar we saved.I'm pretty sure they will do a great job with our health care, though.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Stories like this are sensationalized and serves to rile people up. I wonder why they didnt publish the story about GM re-opening its Orion, MI plant to build the new Chevrolet Sonic, and the additional $145 mil. they invested for additional tooling to build the new Buick Verano there as well. That plant will put 1,500 Americans to work, 1,100 of whom had been laid off. Or, what about the $43 mil. GM invested in the new plant in Brownstown Township, MI that will build the battery for the new Chevy Volt and future electric vehicles? It will only employ 100 right now, but that is 100 more new U.S. jobs.
The problem with faulty math:
So, even if oil is $80 per barrel, that's $880 million PER YEAR. It would only take 4 years to exceed the $3 billion that was spent. After year 4, its all savings.
However, the goal was not to save money. It was to reduce our dependency on oil, which it did by almost 11 million barrels per year. But, if you want to look at savings, 480 gallons of gas per year will save each car buyer about $1,440 per year (with gas at $3 per gallon like it is now). That would certainly increase discretionary income. That's money they can spend on goods and services that could stimulate the economy, which was the other goal of the program.

Those oil companys sure are mighty charitable.
A barrell of oil costs $90 and makes 20 gallons that is $4.50/gallon.
And I can buy it for less than $3/gallon after transportation, refinery and taxes.
I've got to call me broker and tell him to divest me of all oil stocks ASAP

There are 42 gallons of crude in a barrel of oil. You get about 19 - 20 gallons of gasoline, about 10 gallons of diesel fuel, 4 gallons of jet fuels, and about 7 gallons go to make other petroleum based products. The rest goes to make heating oil and other heavy fuel. You actually get about 44 gallons worth of petroleum products from a 42 gallon barrel of crude. Im not sure how that works, but it does. Dont worry about the oil companies, theyre making plenty.

Senior Editor
Imagine this is your obit: "John Smith billed 80,000 hours. May he rest in peace."
Is this the way you want to be remembered?
That's a question David Behrend asks lawyers who may not be happy in their careers and may be ready to explore renewing goals or using their law degrees in new ways for "encore careers."
Maybe you are a young associate pushed out of a job when your firm merged with another one.
Maybe you graduated from law school, but never really landed a good job because of the recession, and competition is fierce in a state with more 95,000 lawyers.
Maybe you finally made partner at a major Miami law firm, you have a big sailboat docked at the yacht club, but you're just not happy. You can't seem to balance your professional and personal life, working long hours and weekends in the competitive law firm culture of endless deadlines that drains your creative juices and shrinks your reservoir of energy.
Behrend, who has a master's in education and is director of Career Planning Services for Lawyers in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, is pairing up with Michael Cohen, executive director of Florida Lawyers Assistance, Inc., to offer free career counseling to Florida lawyers via computer or telephone from the privacy of your home or office.
The first online group interactive session takes place on Wednesday, January 23, at noon, by logging into Gotomeeting.com (see information below), and will be held every other Wednesday at noon thereafter.
The idea is to get you thinking in a new way about what to do with the rest of your life, career-wise. If further one-on-one counseling is needed, that can be arranged.
"Because of the economic situation, we are dealing with so many lawyers experiencing stress and depression because of losing jobs, downsizing, or they're in a sole practice and they are seeing their practice evaporate," Cohen said.
"We are trying to address the problem at the front end, rather than waiting for someone to call the hotline and say: 'I'm so depressed I can't get out of bed.'"
Since the onset of the recession in 2007, Cohen said, he has noticed "an uptick of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse cases seen by FLA."
The FLA career forum is designed to enable lawyers, at all stages of their careers, from lawyers entering the profession to those who may be winding down their practices.
"It's open for the whole continuum. Like with other groups, people at one end can learn from those on the other end. People in the same seminar may say, 'That's how I felt two years ago, and here's what I could have done,'" Cohen said.
Looking at the numbers, if you are an unhappy lawyer, you are in good company. Behrend cites a recent survey by the American Bar Association that concluded lawyers are "stretched to the breaking point." Nearly three quarters of those interviewed said they "feel worn out by the end of the work day." And lawyer discontent has escalated over the past six years from 35 percent to 45 percent, whether associates in their 20s or partners in their 50s.
"I have career street smarts," said Behrend, a consultant working with attorneys and other professionals for more than 25 years on career development, and what he describes as "meaningful or necessary job change or career transitions."
"It's not therapy. It's no-nonsense career counseling," Behrend said. "At the end of a session, our goal is to clarify, if not crystallize, the direction to go. It's a process. It's not a quick fix. You go from the thinking phase to the communication stage. You have to have the ability to market and package yourself. And maybe that involves changing priorities."
Charting his own career, Behrend tells how he taught in a classroom for a year, got his master's in career counseling, and worked for an organization for a dozen years.
"I was pushed out." Behrend said. "It was the best thing that happened to me."
He ended up in management at an addiction hospital "like Betty Ford," working with very bright people, but he didn't like managers or managing. When the hospital was bought out, Behrend was looking for a job again. This time, he started his own practice, focusing "99 percent of my work with attorneys."
"Most of the lawyers I deal with have tunnel vision," Behrend said, describing how he helps them see their career options through a kaleidoscope of possibilities.
"No one said when you graduated from law school at 26 you have to stay all 40 years in the practice of law," Behrend said, adding that the "traditional triad of law firm, in-house, or government may not always be the right choice for an entire career."
The most difficult lawyers to help, Behrend said, are "those who have never failed. Those are the ones who graduated near the top of the class, who basically have fallen. It's the first time they failed at anything. It throws them through a loop. 'I expected to be partner. And it hasn't worked out.'
"Sometimes, they have to lower their expectations. What aspect of the practice did you enjoy? 'Well, I liked research, and I was not as good at working with the client.' Or, 'I found as I got older my work slowed down. I just became bored.'"
If you are wondering if it may be time for a change, you are invited to join the first call-in group, titled, "Career Exploration: Searching for Meaning in My Career or Am I on the Right Track?"
"We are very excited about it," Cohen said. "Other lawyer assistance programs around the country that have run these live sessions usually fill up within a day of the announcement. There's a need for this service."
Online career counseling available
Join the first free online career counseling session on Wednesday, January 23, from noon to 1 p.m. The meetings will be held every other Wednesday thereafter. The meeting capacity is 25 participants, first come, first served.
To log on by computer, go to: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/68439961. The participants can then use their computer microphone and speakers, although a headset is recommended. Up to five participants at a time can also use the video conferencing feature of the meeting. If the participant is using a telephone, call: 213-493-0614. The access code is 684-399-861. The audio PIN will be shown after joining the meeting. The meeting ID is 694-399-861.
Among those who may benefit from participating are:
* Lawyers who are or should be exploring a career or employment change;
* Recent law graduates unsure of the next opportunity;
* Lawyers returning to the practice after an absence of time;
* Older partners or judges searching for their "encore" career;
* Lawyers unable to practice at this time;
* Disenchanted lawyers unsure of alternative career options.

I called this gobbler Candy butt because I have seen him run away from everything, hens, crow calling, and my deke. I missed a bird Thursday morning so I decided to go after Candy that afternoon. The windy had been blowing pretty hard all day so I decided I wouldn't call or put out a deke. There was a fence row that I knew he liked to travel so I set up and just waited on him to hopefully so up. He did and I was able to get him at 15 yards.
When I got home with the bird I believe my daughter was as excited as I was. She has been asking me all week if I was going to get a bird. After coming home empty handed all week I was glad just to see her face light up when she looked in the back of my Rodeo. Candy weighed 26 lbs, 10+ beard, and 1.25" spurs.

Wet or Stinky

Whether we call it perspiration or sweat, we all do it. Why do we sweat? It helps cool us down when we get overheated. But sweat can have an unpleasant odor, especially after puberty.
News You Can Use
- That's where underarm hygiene products come in. There are two basic types of products for dealing with stinky armpits: deodorants and antiperspirants. Both types were invented more than a century ago. Now, worldwide sales for these products exceed $18 billion a year!
- Clearly, most people don't want to stink, but they also know surprisingly little about the products they use to prevent it. Most people don't even know whether they use a deodorant or an antiperspirant.
- Watch this video to find out how deodorants and antiperspirants differ and when each should be used:

Plans to build a new home were put on hold after Trish Blackmore went on a garden tour in Coatesville.
"I told my husband [Allan] that I had just seen this gorgeous home for sale," says Trish.
Although Allan was keen to build, Trish convinced him and his builder to come and look at the Queenslander-style home at 286 Coatesville-Riverhead Highway.
"The builder said, 'You could build something like this, but this home has the X factor,"' says Trish.
However when Allan sent Trish to pick up some documents from a real estate agent some time later, she thought he had gone ahead and bought 8ha out in Kumeu to build on - and her heart sank even further when she drove past the home of her dreams to see it had sold.
But at the agent's office, she was stunned to find out it was Allan who had bought it.
That was 13 years ago when the house was just three years old. The grounds were incomplete, although there was a comprehensive garden design and planting plan.
"The previous owners had just started the gardens when we bought the house and we finished them off," says Trish.
"Now, all those years later, the garden is really coming into its own."
So much so that the symmetrically arranged trees and shrubs frame the house beautifully along the drive. Towering palm trees punctuate the site, while lavender bushes are used to soften the driveway lighting. Vast expanses of lawn surround the long, low house, which is flanked by a triple garage and a shed with a carport.
Exterior character features such as a finial, stained-glass windows and a deep, wrap-around veranda are matched by wooden floors, corbels along the hallway, ceiling roses, sash windows and dado rails atop wooden panelling inside.
It was this elegant look, coupled with modern comforts such as comprehensive insulation and heat pump-powered central heating, that appealed to Trish.
Bedrooms occupy the western end of the house, with the master at the end having a large en suite and doors opening to the rear veranda.
Either side of the front door are a formal dining room and a formal lounge with open fire. At the rear of the house is the large open-plan space that comprises a family room (with gas fire and built-in bookshelves) and country-style kitchen with granite benchtops.
This space also opens to the rear veranda, which has shutters so that it can serve as an outdoor room. The veranda is large enough that there is plenty of room to set up a table outside bifold windows from the kitchen.
When the shutters are pulled back, the house opens to landscaped grounds with an outdoor entertaining area that steps down to the pool complex. At one end of the in-ground pool is a changing shed, while at the other is a cabana with its own kitchen and sound system.
Again, the gardens at the rear of the house are a picture of symmetry with formal elements such as box hedging and clipped bay trees, with plants behind in contrasting textures and colours.
It's the sort of environment that provided the perfect setting for the March wedding of the Blackmores' daughter. But now that the couple's children have moved on, they are pursuing Allan's ambition to create a new home.
Trish is hoping that events will turn full circle when someone else falls in love with the house on a tour because it will be one of those featured in a charity event, Christmas in Coatesville, to be held on November 24 (christmasincoatesville.co.nz).

tell us the most u spent on a star wars item and your most cherished star wars item?
It's one in the same, the vintage Imperial Shuttle. I spent $85 on E-bay. It came w/ the orginal box and papers. Also part of the shuttle was actually still in bags. It so beautiful.
Be not afraid of any man, no matter what his size. When danger threatens call on me, and I will equalize.
19th century ad for Colt revolvers
Be wary of the man who only has one gun...for he probley knows how to
use it.
The most I've spent was for a $75 dollar AT-AT,which broke 3 days
later.Needless to say,I dont have a AT-AT anymore,but I do
have more action figures
And my most cherished SW item is my set of Taco Bell toys
from when the 20th Anni happened.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
I dont spend more than retail.
I spent 85.00 on a AT-AT and my most cherished item would be the falcon. Something about it has always got to me even when I was a kid.
"I have a bad feeling about this".
"Just when I remembered what it was,I forgot where I put it."
The most I've spent was $50 for a boxed 12" Speeder with Scout. I just made the purchase last week so I consider myself lucky to have gotten it.
It looks great next to my 12" Speeder with Luke ($19.90 on clearance @ Target.) Those two are my most cherished SW toys so far!!!
The most I ever spent was $120 on a vintage loose Has Solo in Carbonite. It is in more than absolute perfect condition. Not even a scratch. I have it in a neat dispay case.
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
Spent $150 on my Boba Fett tattoo.
Does that count as an item? It is my own personal item!!
"You know I love the guy but I swear he writes like freaking Yoda."-Dean Winchester
R12:2-Be Transformed
Most spent: $95 on a loose POTF Han in Carbonite
Most cherished: probably my vintage Greedo (2nd figure I ever got. 1st [Jawa] got lost) or my snow hat with Ewok logo.
Best deal: $1 on a SW bedsheet at a garage sale where the sheet wasn't even a sale item, just underneath the things being sold!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
$299 for USA FF Weequay on e-bay.

Drawings of architect Frank Gehry on view at art museum
Posted October 11, 2008; 07:31 p.m.
In celebration of the opening on campus this fall of the Peter B. Lewis Library, designed by Gehry Partners, the Princeton University Art Museum is presenting "Frank Gehry: On Line," an exhibition of 31 original drawings by the world-renowned architect and a selection of models for his buildings.
Organized by Esther da Costa Meyer, associate professor of art and archaeology at Princeton, the exhibition and an accompanying publication examine Gehry's architectural drawings representing a wide array of projects drawn from the last two decades. The exhibition is on view through Jan. 4.
"I can think of no better way to mark the completion of the Peter B. Lewis Library than with an exhibition devoted to Gehry's sketches," said da Costa Meyer. "Gehry's drawings reflect the architect's knowledge of the visual arts and their enormous impact on his work. Artists such as Alvar Aalto, Francesco Borromini, John Constable, Giorgio Morandi and Johannes Vermeer are not simply recurring references in Gehry's talks and writings, but closely observed artists … he has studied in depth."
Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
