New General Catalogue
|New General Catalogue (NGC)
Spiral Galaxy NGC 3982 displays numerous spiral arms filled with bright stars, blue star clusters, and dark dust lanes. It spans about 30,000 light years, lies about 68 million light years from Earth and can be seen with a small telescope in the constellation of Ursa Major.

Revised New General Catalogue
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated as NGC) is a well-known catalogue of deep-sky objects in astronomy compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888, as a new version of John Herschel's Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, known as the NGC objects. It is one of the largest comprehensive catalogues, as it includes all types of deep space objects and is not confined to, for example, galaxies. Dreyer published two supplements to the NGC, known as the Index Catalogues (abbreviated as IC). The first was published in 1895 and contained 1,520 objects, while the second was published in 1908 and contained 3,866 objects, for a total of 5,386 IC objects.
Objects in the sky of the southern hemisphere are catalogued somewhat less thoroughly, but many were observed by John Herschel or James Dunlop. The NGC had many errors, but a serious if not complete attempt to eliminate them has been initiated by the NGC/IC Project, after partial attempts with the Revised New General Catalogue (RNGC) by Sulentic and Tifft in 1973, and NGC2000.0 by Sinnott in 1988.

Original catalogue
The original New General Catalogue was compiled during the 1880s by John Louis Emil Dreyer using observations from William Herschel and his son John, among others. Dreyer had already published a supplement to Herschel's General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters (GC),[1] containing about 1,000 new objects. In 1886, he suggested building a second supplement to the General Catalogue, but the Royal Astronomical Society asked Dreyer to compile a new version instead. This led to the publication of the New General Catalogue in the Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1888.[2][3]
Assembling the NGC was a challenge, as Dreyer had to deal with many contradicting and unclear reports, made with a variety of telescopes with apertures ranging from 2 to 72 inches. While he did check some himself, the sheer number of objects meant Dreyer had to accept them as published by others for the purpose of his compilation. Dreyer was a careful transcriber and made few errors himself, but the catalogue nonetheless contained several errors (mostly relating to position and descriptions). He was very thorough in his referencing, which allowed future astronomers to review the original references and publish corrections to the original NGC.[4]
The NGC was later expanded with two Index Catalogues, adding a further 5,386 objects. Most of these later discoveries had been made possible by photography.
Index Catalogue
The first major update to the NGC is the Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated as IC), published in two parts by Dreyer in 1895 (IC I,[5] containing 1,520 objects) and 1908 (IC II,[6] containing 3,866 objects). It serves as a supplement to the NGC, and contains an additional 5,386 objects, collectively known as the IC objects. It summarizes the discoveries of galaxies, clusters and nebulae between 1888 and 1907. A list of corrections to the IC was published in 1912.[7]
Revised New General Catalogue
The Revised New Catalogue of Nonstellar Astronomical Objects (abbreviated as RNGC) was compiled by Jack W. Sulentic and William G. Tifft in the early 1970s, and was published in 1973, as an update to the NGC.[8] However, because the update had to be completed in just three summers, it failed to incorporate several previously-published corrections to the NGC data (including corrections published by Dreyer himself), and even introduced new errors.[4]
NGC 2000.0 (also known as the Complete New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters) is a 1988 compilation of the NGC and IC made by Roger W. Sinnott, using the J2000.0 coordinates.[9][10] It incorporates several corrections and errata made by astronomers over the years. However, it too ignored the original publications and favoured modern (but erroneous) corrections.[4]
NGC/IC Project
The NGC/IC Project is a collaboration formed in 1993. It aims to identify all NGC and IC objects, and collect images and basic astronomical data on them.[11]
Revised New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue
The Revised New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue (abbreviated as RNGC/IC) is a compilation made by Wolfgang Steinicke in 2009.[12][13] It is considered one of the most comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the NGC and IC catalogues.[14][15]

Garden Design Maplewood Mn
Landscaping Services Near Me Maplewood Mn
The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Maplewood Mn , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.
Some good [supreme kwid=4 kw="patio landscaping ideas" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for planting steep slopes as well as different methods and examples [supreme kwid=21 kw="landscape water features" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for hillsides.
Landscaping Designs and Ideas For Your HomeA well-tended lawn doesn't have to be a chore, especially if you know how to pick a good lawn care service provider that will take care of your lawn maintenance without having to pay exorbitant costs. Here are a few things to remember when picking a lawn care service to make sure that your lawn is a well-kept garden of green.Ask aroundOne of the best ways to get in touch with the best lawn service companies is simply to ask. Ask your friends, relatives, colleagues and acquaintances for recommendations on a lawn care company that offers great service for reasonable prices. Ask especially those who have lawns themselves and have experienced hiring a contractor to maintain their own lawns. Chances are, they're your best resource for reliable reviews and first hand accounts of lawn care companies and will best be able to point you in the right direction - towards doing business with a reputable lawn care company. After you've got a list of recommended companies, double check these providers against your local Better Business Bureau's own reviews of those companies. BBB is a good resource for checking up on a particular company's reputation and it will tell you which companies are getting praises and which ones are getting complaints.Aside from this, your local BBB will be able to furnish you with information about a particular company's professional membership in a lawn care association as well as services it is licensed to provide, like application of lawn chemicals other than fertilizers. Application of lawn chemicals in particular is strictly monitored by some states' Department of Agriculture and requires a license to provide.Do your homeworkFirst, decide on the kind of services you need from a lawn care provider and from there, you can start collecting estimates from several different companies about the fees they charge for these services. Make sure to create a list of the services you need before calling up a lawn care company.Here are a few things to think about in terms of the kind of services you might need or want:• What is the size of your lawn? • Do you need landscaping services or do you just need lawn cutting? • Do you need seasonal maintenance? • Do you need programming for an irrigation system? • Do you need application of fertilizer or pesticides?Some additional services that you might want to look at aside from lawn cutting and fertilizing are: pest control, dethatching, reseeding and core aeration.Next, ask if the company you are interested in can do an on site evaluation of your lawn so that you get an idea of the kind of services your lawn needs and if it meets with the kind of services they will be able to provide. This also helps you get to know the people behind the company, if they're reasonable and easy to deal with. PricingOnce you've gone over the lawn care company services, it's time to ask around for the cost. Ask how much the company charges for its services and get a written estimate of the overall cost of maintaining your lawn. This should narrow down your choices, as price is definitely one of the most important factors you look at when choosing a lawn care service provider.All in all, go for the lawn care company that gives you the services you need at reasonable prices, and make sure that the provider is a trusted name in its field. Meeting all these requirements will ensure that you will get the kind of well-tended lawn that you deserve.
While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

Since my electric was shut off this morning and early afternoon, I couldn't cook lunch or have a hot shower. In the absence of eating or being able to get cleaned up to go out for lunch, I grabbed my ball hockey stick and went to my apartment complex's playground which consists of a flat tile bit used for badminton and some playground equipment that looks conspicuously like a military training apparatus. Fortunately, nobody was there but then some local kids saw me, one of the very few foreigners in town, and thought I was playing golf. Word spread and eventually there were about ten kids.
In the end, they didn't get to practice their ping-pong but they enjoyed taking turns shooting the ball at each other. But at least I didn't have to eat chicken feet - complete, literally, with bones and claws! Next time I go out, I'll bring my spare and wife's sticks. Its just a shame those kids won't be able to buy their own sticks here.

Cowboys say complex to be renamed AT&T Stadium
Recommended Video:
ARLINGTON — The Dallas Cowboys say their billion-dollar complex will be renamed AT&T Stadium as part of a multi-year deal with the telecommunications giant.
An emotional Jerry Jones, the team's owner and general manager, said Thursday he wants "this building to be more familiar than the White House."
The name change for the $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium takes effect immediately. Numerous signs outside and inside the stadium will be changed to reflect the AT&T name. The company is based in nearby Dallas.
Team officials declined to reveal terms of the deal, including cost and how many years are included.
The team says the deal includes access to AT&T mobile technology. The arrangement will double the stadium's wi-fi network for faster mobile access and expand the options provided by the Cowboys' mobile app.

Two Unesco World Heritage sites, four corners of the county and a famous bridge damaged in the floods of last Christmas will all play a role in the third annual Tour de Yorkshire cycle race next April.
The Tour de France legacy event, which is growing in stature each year, runs from Bridlington on Friday, April 28, to Fox Valley in Sheffield on Sunday, April 30.
Some of the best cyclists in the world will tackle the three-day men's race, with the Asda Women's Tour de Yorkshire once again taking pride of place from Tadcaster to Harrogate, on Saturday, April 29.
Watch the route announcement as it happened, via the live feed on our Facebook page
The prize fund for that race is £50,000, just as it was for its maiden running earlier this year, when superstar names like Lizzie Deignan returned home to fly the flag for Yorkshire in the richest race in women's cycling.
The women's race mirrors the same route that the men will take over 122km, with the riders starting on Tadcaster bridge – which will be newly reopened following flood damage last Boxing Day.
Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire and the man responsible for the region's cycling boom since luring the Tour de France Grand Depart to the region in 2014, said the 2017 race would help unite a community and put the North Yorkshire town back on the map.
"I went to Tadcaster earlier this year with Christian Prudhomme (Tour de France race director) and he and I looked at each other and immediately said we have to come here," said Sir Gary, at the announcement of the route at the Impressions Gallery in Bradford.
"We have to start a stage on the other side of the bridge, bring the peloton across and get that image going around the world that Tadcaster is open for business.
"We organise bike races but it's about much more than bike races; it's about social change, it's about bringing communities together, it's about helping people wherever we can in a wider sense and hopefully that's what we'll see with Tadcaster."
There has been no dramatic upgrade to the route or the format of next year's race, as there was for this year's renewal with the huge prize fund offered for the women's race and the lengthening of that course.
But yeary on year the event continues to see growing levels of interest.
Mr Prudhomme said: "I always enjoy coming to Yorkshire and the county certainly knows how to put on a show.
"I am excited by what this year's route has in store and am sure it will provide three days of fantastic racing."
Day one of the third Tour de Yorkshire will see riders head out from Bridlington Spa on a 173km stage known as 'The Coast and the Wolds', which heads inland through Pocklington and Driffield before heading back to the coast to Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and into a finish at North Bay in Scarborough.
On day two, the best male and female cyclists in the world head out from Tadcaster on a 122km stage for the sprinters entitled, 'Historic Market Towns'. That stage ends on Parliament Square in Harrogate, on the same stretch of tarmac where Mark Cavendish crashed in the 2014 Tour de France.
Day three from Bradford to Fox Valley in Sheffield is a brute, with four categorised climbs in the final 22km of the 194.5km route.
During the race, the peloton will pass UNESCO World Heritage Sites at Fountains Abbey and Saltaire.
"I can't wait to see the world's best riders tackling these routes," said Sir Gary.
"We've worked hard to design a course which showcases Yorkshire's stunning scenery as well as delivering a thrilling sporting event. This year the race attracted two million spectators and generated £60m for the local economy, and we'll go from strength to strength again next year."
Harrogate Council has approved funding of £250,000 to cover the hosting of the event, and launched a consultation on plans to use part of the Stray as a spectator hub.
The council has applied to the Secretary of State for Communities to apply for the temporary relaxation of some sections of the Stray Act to allow for the accommodation of support and media vehicles in the days preceding, during and after the event. The council said it expects that the area of the West Park Stray bordering the A61 will be used, while a small area on the corner of Oatlands Drive and Knaresborough Road may needed for overflow parking.

Richard Whitehead has said that he hopes Splash! viewers will be able to appreciate how he has played to his strengths to reach the final of the contest.
The Paralympian is in the final of ITV's diving competition this weekend and said he hoped his success would inspire others to get into sport.
He said: "With my impairment being so visual, you can see that I'm a double leg amputee, that I haven't got any legs from the knees down.
"So an armstand to use 'the guns' was really important that people realised I've maximised my strengths. In the final I show everybody that I'm going to do something completely different in one of my dives and really push myself to the limit."
Richard continued: "Splash! has come at the right time with the Olympic and Paralympic legacy.
"Hopefully, it opens up lots of doors for me to continue to help other people get into sport."
He added that Tom Daley had been a great coach on the programme and could have a future in coaching professionally.
"I've had some world-class trainers in my time and Tom, I'm sure, after his professional diving career will get into coaching because he's got a natural talent for that."
Richard takes on Keith Duffy, Dan Osborne and Perri Kiely in the Splash! final tonight (February 15).

Weekend Picks, June 10-12Posted: June 10th, 2011 | Author: KN | Filed under: Cider Hill Farm, Event, Lobster Shanty, Marblehead Farmer's Market, Wine Connextion | Tags: Blue Hills Brewery, Busa Wine and Spirits, Cider Hill Farm, Cup 'n Board, Glenn Cook, Kappy's Liquors, Smolak Farms, Strawberry Festival, Victoria's Station, Wine ConneXtion | 2 Comments »
If you've been running around crazy busy for the past few weeks, you're not alone. We feel your pain and think you might enjoy kicking back and relaxing at some of the great tastings and fun events going on this weekend.
Start things off right by stopping into Cup 'n Board in Swampcott from 5:00 to 7:00pm for a beer tasting from Blue Hills Brewery. They'll have tasty treats on hand as well, and an awesome selection of both beer and wine to take home for the weekend.
This weekend marks the beginning of strawberry season and Smolak Farms in North Andover is throwing a kickoff celebration from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm with strawberry picking, free activities for the kids and complimentary wine and prosecco tastings provided by Wine ConneXtion from 1:00 to 2:00pm.
They'll also be starting pick-your-own season at one of our favorite farms, Cider Hill in Amesbury. And speaking of Cider Hill, they'll be participating in the Marblehead Farmer's Market, which opens on Saturday for the season. In a recent newsletter Glenn Cook, owner of Cider Hill said " This is one of the best markets in the state!" Check it out from 9:00am to noon.
On Saturday afternoon there are several opportunities to try new tastes you may want to add to your summer drink list. At 2:00pm Busa Wine and Spirits in Salem is hosting an Iberian Wine Fiesta with summer reds from Bodegas San Valero in Carinena, Spain on offer as well as a handcrafted sangria. They will also be raffling off two $50 in -store gift certificates. The raffle tickets are $5 each and proceeds to go to Northeast Animal Shelter.
At 4:00pm Kappy's Liquors in Danvers hosts a Grand Beer Tasting, which looks to be a terrific way to sample north shore brews with selections from Cody and Cape Ann Brewing, as well as more esoteric quaffs like Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard Ale and Les Brasseurs' Amadeus Biere Blanche Witbier.
There are also a couple of fundraisers worth attending on our radar. Salem's Lobster Shanty hosts the 6th BaldBil YMCA Day. The Shanty will donate 5% of the entire day's house proceeds to the Y's financial assistance program in support of kids and families. All bartender tips will go to the Y, as well as what the waitstaff give to the bartender at night's end. There will also be live music and some very cool items raffled off.
On Monday the 13th, head on over to Victoria Station in Salem. At 7:00pm they are hosting a Fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. When executive chef John Andrews discovered that one of his staff had been diagnosed with MS he stepped up to rally support for her and the Society. There will be food tables by Victoria Station, Finz and The Lobster Shanty, Seaport Cafe and more, as well as raffles, auctions, celebrity bartenders and live music. Tickets are $10 at the door and all proceeds go toward the cause.
And as usual, we've got the weekend picks from our pals in the North Shore Blogger's Consortium:
Seth keeps you up on everything going on in Lynn at Lynn Happens, including the debut of the new Arts After Hours production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, directed by our awesome pal Corey Jackson.
Kim Bingham talks about meeting the Boston Brunchers along with her weekend picks on Lighter and Local.
Author Jane Ward lists her weekend ideas, but we're even more entranced by her luscious looking curried chicken salad recipe.
Rob and Laura head all over New England for some great ideas at The Two Palaverers.

Are you getting our latest endpoint protection?
If you're running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise, McAfee Host IPS Firewall, or McAfee SiteAdvisor web filtering, you're not using our latest and most effective endpoint protection. McAfee Endpoint Security is a free security upgrade that simplifies management and leverages machine learning and application containment to halt threats in their tracks.
A recent study by AV-Comparatives shows that upgrading to McAfee Endpoint Security gives you a 25% higher protection rate than McAfee VirusScan Enterprise against zero-day threats. A shared ecosystem means you get a unified solution that integrates multiple defense technologies to collaborate in real time to quickly detect, analyze, block, and contain in-progress attacks, for faster analysis and actions against new and advanced threats, providing stronger threat intelligence.
McAfee Endpoint Security's orchestrated analysis of and response to threats enables it to automatically protect your environment from zero-day threats like ransomware, save patient zero, and stop network infection simultaneously, providing you with the robust endpoint security solution that today's advanced threats require.
Existing McAfee customers, with a current license or entitlement to endpoint security suites, can retain their policies and client task assignments from legacy products. Migrating to McAfee Endpoint Security is a free update and can take less than 20 minutes.

Ready to migrate? Let's get started.
|Step 1: Plan Your Migration
Start by conducting a thorough planning exercise, identifying a set of initial considerations to assist you with upgrade planning.
Discuss your current network and systems architecture, and ensure participants and stakeholders possess a high-level understanding of the McAfee Endpoint Security platform.
Perform an assessment of your current production environment configuration to provide guidance and recommendations for your upgrade.
Choose your path: Do you want to retain any current settings and assignments for your legacy products?
Download the Endpoint Security 10.5 Installation Guide
|Step 2: Deploy Your New Endpoint Security
Install, configure, upgrade, and validate the McAfee solution in a non-production environment.
Perform validation testing to verify your McAfee products are functional, blocking and monitoring activity, and producing logs and events, which are viewable on client systems and from the McAfee ePO console.
Migrate existing policies. Before fully deploying the new McAfee Endpoint Security software to your organization, pilot it in a test environment. Once the pilot test is complete, deploy throughout your organization. McAfee recommends following your organization's practices for submitting change requests, performing system backups, and developing a recovery plan.
|Step 3: Optimize Your New Endpoint Security
Ensure your McAfee Endpoint Security solution is aligned with business processes and remains tuned through periodic assessments.

Please send your questions for publication to firstname.lastname@example.com. (Questions may be edited.)
Recently I heard a young man justify his conduct by reference to the Gentleman Scholar. Is that proper? It seems, uh, gauche to cite authorities for one's actions. Shouldn't values rather than rules alone guide personal conduct? Of course, if you answer as I think you should, I will promptly cite you as authority for my view. Is this ungentlemanly or merely human?
Thank you for your flattering question.
The argumentum ab auctoritate, eh? Fascinating device, that one. Aristotle didn't consider it a logical fallacy, and the fact that it came to be regarded as such in the late 1800s has everything to do with the rise of empirical science. Nota bene: I don't really know what I'm saying here because I'm relying totally on the expert testimony of the guy who wrote the book Appeal to Expert Opinion.
Yes, values should guide conduct. The only authorities one can always cite to clinch an argument are Hoyle and Queensberry and other fellows concerned with sports and games defined by black-and-white rules. The Gentleman Scholar tends to deal in greyer areas and hazier arenas, and it would require a society far more autocratic than ours to support his humble suggestions as absolute dictates. Emily Post, wise though she was, was not an empress. The last person to enjoy pure infallibility as a tastemaker was Petronius, who was the arbiter of elegance in the court of Nero, the probable author of the Satyricon, and all in all old Rome's best source for all your orgy needs.
Besides, even Homer nods. Bart and Lisa, too. Looking back on the year now closing, it seems that the Gentleman Scholar committed a couple errors of fact and a few failed deliveries of the whole truth. Please accept the list below—a compendium of addenda and errata—as the postmodern, post-macho equivalent of the peacock vow, which was a Christmastime ritual of the chivalric tradition. Back in the day, a lady would bring a roasted fowl to the festive table, and a knight would rest his right hand upon the bird and swear to acquit himself honorably in the year ahead. In that spirit, I bid you a finger-licking 2014.
Help! My Kid Is a Picky Eater and I Am Freaking Out!
My advice was to administer half of a Flintstones chewable multivitamin each day. My mom wrote in to add that giving a kid "a range of choices (yogurt with fruit, yogurt with small chunks of walnuts, yogurt with granola, etc.) might give him a sense of autonomy without sacrificing his nutrition or his self-esteem." Because the email was from my mom, it then went on for several more paragraphs.
Also, recent research indicates that "multivitamins don't contain any proven health benefits," so we hereby emend the original advice to suggest Flintstones Complete Gummies instead of the chewable kinds: They may have no proven health benefit, but at least they provide father and child cover for eating candy at breakfast.
The Gentleman Scholar regrets causing any trouble for the LW, who didn't expect to see her first name attached to a semi-fond remembrance of an ex-boyfriend. On the day of publication, the LW emailed a follow-up: "What should you do if the new guy you are seeing reads a Slate column and concludes that you wrote a letter in which you admit to not being over your ex?" (Two-part answer: Admit nothing; never explain.)
Five months later, the LW delivered a further update: "It's summer break and that ex wants to hang out. What a predictable little shit. I'll probably agree to coffee." (One-word answer: Men!)
How Do I Reconnect With My Children After My Tour of Duty?
The Gentleman Scholar happily notes that the LW left his war zone in one piece: "Good advice all around. And in good time: I have made it safely into MOB Bastion/Leatherneck, and am now waiting on flights back home tomorrow."
Less happily, the GS notices that he squandered an opportunity for a fine segue: A second question in that week's column regarded the cardigan sweater, a controversial garment named for its first widely celebrated slip-intoer, the Lord Cardigan who led "The Charge of the Light Brigade."
Why Does Every Dude Make That Same Face in Every Photo?
The Gentleman Scholar was highly gratified to note the Oxford Dictionaries' acknowledgement of selfie as its word of the year. In the course of complying with that publisher's consequent request to snap a self-portrait, he further refined his theory explaining why guys do that "zany one-raised-eyebrow thing" in photographs. It's not just that they are "trying to express a feeling about presenting themselves to scrutiny": They are actively scrutinizing themselves, eyeing their images critically as they pose, and their expressions thus give the impression that they are lifting glances through feedback loupes.
The whims of the Gentleman Scholar were not all gratified by Slate's art director, who ultimately vetoed his choice for a new head shot (a detail of a canted-angle Polaroid) in a ruling that leaves us with the picture above, which displeases at least one correspondent:
I really think your original photo for your column—the one with the wood paneling in the background and your somewhat startled expression—looks far better than the grey-background photo you have now. The old photo inspires more trust and exudes empathy. Right now you look like you're about to fire someone.
Editor's note: The Gentleman Scholar's gentleman editor disagrees and prefers this new photo, in which his writer appears serene and all-knowing.
How Does a Gentleman Shake Hands With a Lady?
Respectfully, was the short answer, a reply judged by Jezebel's Lindy West to be "pretty good"—and yet she took it upon herself to advise men (and straw men) to shake hands with a woman "just like you would with a man." But how does Ms. West presume to know how men shake hands with other men? To convert a useful term describing cross-gender condescension, this particular argument from ignorance ranks as womansplaining and no thinking person should stand for it.
Are My Flirty Texts to Female Friends Too Flirty?
The LW wrote back with a separate query: "Are there any rules for a taken man to follow when making new female acquaintances? Is getting someone's number or Facebook friend-ing over the line?" In light of this information, my initial answer demands revision: Yes, your flirty texts are too flirty in the way of a wannabe player.
A Gentleman's Guide to the Shore
Ween released The Mollusk in 1997, not 2001. The Gentleman Scholar apologizes to Dean Ween, Gene Ween, and the phylum Mollusca.
Gentlemen Don't Let Fellow Gentlemen Drive Drunk
A reader writes:
In his column of September 25, "Gentlemen Don't Let Fellow Gentlemen Drive Drunk," author Troy Patterson writes, "When a guest is three sheets to the wind, a host must exhaust all reasonable options to keep him off the road, lest the sheets be shrouds." The phrase "three sheets to the wind" refers to nautical sheets, which are ropes, not sails. Thus the comparison of a nautical sheet to a winding sheet does not correspond.
Point taken. But I've got a special endorsement on my poetic license allowing such maneuvers.
What Should a Gentleman Smell Like?
A correspondent believes it was misleading, in offering an original recipe for a cocktail inspired by bay rum, to strongly imply that Cardamaro and cardamom bitters share an interchangeable flavor. This correspondent is correct. But it doesn't matter. The drink is completely delicious made either way, as evidenced by the experience of the original LW:
The Old-Spice Fashioned was a lovely and mind-erasing surprise. My lord and mixmaster made it for our dinner guests, who became brunch guests. I suggest you add two more ingredients to the recipe: spare beds and adequate linens.
Lady S.
Is There Room for the Gentleman in Modern Feminism?
The Gentleman Scholar's first venture into wrapping his persona around a microphone was regarded as "interesting" by some and Nabokovian by others—but only insofar as it recalled a line from the forward of VN's Strong Opinions: "I write like a distinguished author, I speak like a child."
For an engaging proper debate on the successes and failures of feminism, download the transcript of a superlatively entertaining 1994 Firing Line debate, Resolved: That the Women's Movement Has Been Disastrous. Here Slate founder Michael Kinsley moderates a debate among the likes of William F. Buckley, Betty Friedan, Camille Paglia, and Arianna Huffington, all bringing high heat.
Meanwhile, for a taste of what I was dealing with in my conversation with Book of Jezebel editor Anna Holmes, consider that, a month after our chat went into the world, she scolded me for urging my child to say "Thank you." To her. At Thanksgiving. She sounded very convincing doing so. And was wrong.
To answer the question: Although there is room for the gentleman in modern feminism, there is no excuse for a guy to say "I'm a feminist" simply because he subscribes to the principles of gender equality and thinks progressive thoughts. That's like calling yourself an "environmental activist" just because you don't litter.
A Gentleman's Guide to Gentleman's Clubs
The comments on this piece include the traumatic memories of those who've had negative experiences ordering ecdysiasts for home delivery. I might have taken care to be clear, when advising this practice as a relatively dignified and affordable alternative to going to a strip club, that it is imperative to vet the talent properly. (Ask a friend who works in high finance to check with his friends in low places.) If you make a bad decision when hiring a professional for this sort of house call, you do not get the harmless bachelor-party entertainment you're looking for. Rather, you get a methhead hogging the bathroom and a groom who ends the weekend sobbing uncontrollably in his fiancée's arms. Which I suppose has its upside.
What Music Can a Gentleman Play His Gentle Children?
The GS was remiss not to nod in the obvious direction of TMBG.
Further, he hastens to inform a baffled Raffi that his editor decided that it wasn't worth mentioning that, while finishing the piece in a coffee shop hosting a singalong for Brooklyn brats, he kinda came around to "Baby Beluga." The Gentleman Scholar apologizes to the order Cetacea with one obvious exception.
"A Beastly Game Played By Beasts"
You are reminded that the Gentleman Scholar Explaining Football to Foreign People or American People Who Don't Understand Football Clearly and Concisely Contest is still accepting entries through Dec. 31—and still wide-open. Though some of the hundred-odd readers who have already submitted answers demonstrate an impressive talent for elucidating the sport's mythic power, too few have succinctly explained the nature of the legal forward pass.
Why Can't I Button the Bottom Button of My Jacket?
The proprietor of Gentleman's Gazette brings our attention to a post mulling over multiple theories—including and beyond the unbuttonable girth of Edward VII—for the origins of the open bottom button. The Gentleman Scholar feels very slightly sorry for all Homo sapiens who do not find this stuff totally fascinating. Life is in the details.
Does the Gentleman Use His Phone at the Urinal?
On Twitter, one Simon Maloy greeted the operative question—"Is it OK to use your phone at the urinal?"—with a sharp volley: "Is it OK to pee in a phone booth?"
Though I must presume that Mr. Maloy intended his retort to be strictly rhetorical, I nonetheless will seize this opportunity to address the man-on-the-go who really needs to go: A gentleman does not often urinate in public, but when he does, he sometimes pretends to chat on a hooded pay phone. To do so is to dial down the odds of making trouble while making water. (For more about hoods and gentlemen, please see our column of June 19.)

I just updated to a recent -current and tried the new nullfs. Sockets (e.g. the MySQL one) work now with nullfs. No need to have e.g. jails on the same FS and hardlink the socket to not need to use TCP in MySQL (or an IP at all for the jail).
Great work!

Survival Jobs For Actors
I was an actress for 6 years, grew tired of doing the same show 8x a week, and tried to find information on getting a Survival Job - I couldn't find any! So, I decided to create a resource. I just signed a contract for a job board, so this site is going to be a resource for all artists, not just actors - but, I am going to keep the original name. I currently work in the office world now, and love it. So, with the new job board, I am going to do a total site redesign and would love a fabulous logo to start us off right.
There are two groups that we are targeting: employers and actors
I want to target the employers and recruiters more than the actors - the actors will use the site no matter what it looks like. But, I need something more professional to make us look legitimate for employers - which are mostly temp agents, real estate agents, and small business owners.
I like the TripIt logo, user friendly, but says something about what it does.
Fun, user friendly, but professional.
I am Very open to all ideas! Just have real hesitation about making the logo too "actory." I do not want a logo with a drama mask!
I like the blue color scheme, but am very open to whatever ideas you have.
Thanks so much for working on my project - I am eager to see all of your wonderful designs!

text: It depends very much on the learners and what they might need the English for. A knowledge of the London undergorund system or Shakespeare won't help much if you're trying to sell mobile phones in Brazil. If you need English for international business, then the culture is of little interest, IMO.

On a recent episode of Adrien Broner's online reality show, About Billions, Broner and his crew ran into Allen Iverson while they were partying in Atlanta. Above is Iverson's brief cameo—flagged by Grantland's Jay Caspian Kang—and it will make you miserable.
If Iverson ever meant anything to you as a basketball player (and he damn well better have), you're not going to enjoy watching him—looking listless, looking like he's on the wrong end of some kind of binge—as he talks about wanting to play Russian Roulette with a discomforting amount gravity in his voice.

That's what my students would say. That's much of what your membership seems to be saying. And that's what I implore you to do.
I have been a teacher since 1978 and an NEA member for almost as long. But the fact of the matter is that, as I improved in my abilities to teach through an association with other professional organizations (the National Writing Project, The National Council of Teachers of English), the NEA became less and less important in my professional life. I came to think of my membership as an insurance policy: a fall back in case I ever found myself battling against the district that employed me which, it was clear, would treat me like a freelancer and leave me twisting in the legal winds should anything go awry in my teaching life. (And there are so many things.....)
The NEA has done nothing to change that view over the years. I hear from my organization almost weekly, but only to excite my interest in an NEA MasterCard, an NEA low-interest loan, an NEA home-owner's insurance policy. The monthly newsletter NEA Today goes largely unread. Most of the teaching tips or online resources have come to me months before in online communities where my professional development continues.
Ten years ago I shouted at the NEA as I read the Sunday editorials. It was clear that the "Texas Miracle," discredited as a fraud even as the Rod Paige plan was being marketed wholesale to the nation, was going to visit a classroom very dear to me: my classroom. And so it was. But where was my 3.5 million teacher-strong union on this plan that flew in the face of all the research we know about motivating, engaging and helping students toward a better life?
So here I am. Ten years out speaking in a little-ole' backwater blog. Wish I had the backing of a large education group.
Here's what I know about the union from the ground:
- We are under attack, and sometimes deservedly so. We need to lead the reform issue from a moral high ground. By leap-frogging over our detractors we can create a profession where our clients - the children we teach - are at the center of everything we do. I want what Mark Simon suggests: "Teacher Unions have a responsibility to advocate not just in the narrow self-interest of their dues paying members, but in the public interest, from a teacher's perspective." (Thanks Steve Owens.)
- I can't convince young teachers to join. They don't get it. We are losing them and a whole generation who will not seek teaching as a viable career. In this way, if the union is not destroyed outright by the current "reformers" it will die a slow death of attrition. And so will teaching. What will be left in its wake? A predatory, privatized patchwork of questionable ethics.
- On the largest issues we are defensive. Not a good position. We need to lead. The more involved in policy I've become the more amazed I am by the alphabet-soup of disparate education associations all speaking similarly on the same issues but undercutting each other's message by being too many, too small. Pull it together. We need a single, very large, credible megaphone if we are to combat the billionaire's boys club. That means leading from effective practice first. It will raise our collective voice above the fray of profit-making plans.
- I did two years as a union rep in my building. Much of what went on in the local was about next year's raise. We didn't even address the "slave clause" in my contract which describes my work as "anything necessary for the smooth running of the school." Pretty vague description of teaching and learning. I wanted to argue for a better definition of my role and practice.
Here is what I mean by Manning UP:
Assume the responsibility for improving education and take on the role of Educator-in-Chief. We know what conditions are needed for good teaching. It's time to put our effort, our money, and our mouths where our hearts are: demand what has already been proven best for the children of the next generation by demanding the training, induction, and working conditions that allows good teaching to flourish. Do it on OUR terms, from the position of Effective Teaching, not a corporate manual. The plan has already been outlined in the Commission report Transforming Teaching.*
Embrace the report.
It has already been heralded as a ray of hope in an education wasteland.
We need to lead. After all, America invented public education. It's time we re-invent public education for the 21st Century. It will mean hard work, embracing change, speaking out about what really works, and even arguing amongst ourselves and conducting ongoing research, but I volunteer to marry my effective teaching chops with your organizational chops to create a robust profession.
Do it. Or it will continue to be done unto us.

Prennilowski necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 58 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
We are a company who offers 360° Panorama services in very high quality. Furthermore we have developed a software to build 360° Panorama Tours, its a rich multimedia application. By selling the software we also sell our service in creating the multimedia content.
Currently we work under the name "virtur" http://www.virtur.info but we have to change that name because one of the three founders will do his own thing.
We have the two brand names "virtur" and "present3D" you find two brochures attached to see the content of our business.
present4D is a cooperation of two companies: http://www.pixelkontor.de and http://www.teamxmedia.de the design of the new logo must not be similar. It's just to give you a feeling of our "world";)
Target audience are:
- producing industrie over 500 employees
- museums
- schools
- gouvnerment
- virtual plant tours
- eLearning
- construction site documentation
We need a very innovative and modern style but very reliable and serious. The decision makers are between 40 and 55 more of them are conservative.
The Logo should work with and without sub-claim "Change your Point of View".
We don't mind if the letters are upper case or lower or a mixture.
we like very much the following design for example:
No. 73 and 84
We also like our actual logo: http://www.virtur.info but it should not be a copy of it.
We'd like to have a word mark and a picture mark. The picture mark should give an abstract overview of our core business: Conecting worlds (Panoramas or realtime 3D) together and link multimedia content for different target groups to it. This means we have one panorama tour, but different content versions for different target group (ceo's and housewifes, technical orientated people and technical experts for example). Additionally we have the claim "Change your Point of View(!)" which could also be used for design ideas for the picture mark.
Please feel free to experiment with colors! We like the darkblue and silver things but as well turquoise...
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

text: So one thing that I have often wondered about living in a Tiny House is if I will miss a dishwasher. Now it is not for the reasons you think. While convenience is a nice plus, the big thing for me is that it uses such hot water to clean, helps sterilize. I am a bit of a germ freak when it comes to the kitchen, especially with raw meat. Today I found what looks like to be a possibility from Electrolux. This is a sink and dishwasher in one. While it only has a limited capacity, it will certainly help out. It also uses some green technologies to help reduce water consumption and power consumption.

Maybe it is not much, but I'd like that this thread was somehow 'sent' to her family.

I know that sometimes certain tribute pages can seem a little over the top and turn into creepy shrines etc, but in the case of Alison a simple site or page marking her contribution and maybe sense of humour (which was great and cheered me up on many a day) feels very appropriate. I'm unsure as to whether sending something to her parents is a good or bad idea, and also when the right time to do this would be. I've no idea how I would feel if someone did this for me, but for the time being I would personally just respect her parents right to some time and space to grieve properly.

I had popped out and missed the call.. I worked with alison on many project, for the most part was PeST. I know we talked endless hours in the past but unfortunatly drifted apart in recent years so I have been out of touch with her for some time
I will regret not getting back in touch with her for all this time, though I drifted out of atari hardware some time ago due to work and other pressing matters so me and aly just never got talking again in recent years. I know she has been on here for the best part though I just have not had time to come here of late.
I will really miss her, the news was just shocking, she was one of the most kind and caring people and used to send me electronics items to mess with or she would just buy me stuff! A rare kind heart and will be greatly missed.
Shredder11 wrote:exxos wrote:She used to model a lot , but not suitable content for her.
I did not know about her modelling. I guess you mean her fun loving daring spirit meant she did some adult material or do you mean just lingerie stuff?
The more I learn about Aly, the more amazing she really was. I agree with Simbo in that she was the kind of girl many guys would be proud to be with. Mind you how come one of the guys she was with, pushed her down the stairs? How can anyone do that let alone to Aly?
Misha wrote:
Hi Chris
I saw that you featured on her logicsays 'welcome' page.
Aly's mum said that she used to talk about you and your joint projects.
I wondered if you had heard the sad news hence my phone call; I thought it right for you to know. (I'm sorry I missed you)
I'll leave it now.
Shredder11 wrote:Thanks Chris and yes I do fully understand that her privacy must be respected and other private conversations etc. Thank you for what you have shared with all of us here. Oh and yes I do remember the stalker episode; lord knows who he is stalking now...
The amount of people I know or whom I have spoken with recently with cancer is shocking; some terminal and some not. I wish your father the very best and I hope you find the strength to cope too.
It's disgusting how bad some men treat women and girls. Someone I went out with in my teens and later met again fifteen years later, told me she had been raped aged 18 by a subsequent boyfriend after me. She told me an awful lot of other very deep stuff about herself and her experiences etc, and she was blown away by how non-judgemental I was towards her, and that I made her feel good about herself. I'm personally a soft hearted and emotional person with a lot of time for anyone who needs it, and I always try to present the full human side of my soul. Many people do not understand or accept why I do this so openly, and either run a mile or mock me which I find sad, that in this day and age people cannot be more open and kind to each other in a unconditional and sincere way. If I had been in a similar situation with Aly in person, I would have listened until there was nothing more she could say, and then I would have pointed out all the things about her that I thought were worthy and positive and to be celebrated. Now you may think this is a little strange or over the top, but that is just how I would always treat anyone that needed this, particularly someone as special as Aly. When a flame burns so magically and brightly, you have to do everything you can to keep it burning for one day that light will be extinguished.

I don't mean to brag, but there was a time when I could watch 17 straight hours of television and never leave the couch (not to eat or… well you know).
During my youth, I could easily watch 3 movies back to back to back and not even blink.
Now I can't look at a TV screen without being overcome with the feeling that I've just ingested a 72 oz glass of anesthesia (which would be smaller than the mega gigantic sodas they sell kids at convenience stores… can we make these illegal already?).
There's something about life after the age of 40 (if you can call it a life). People warned me unexplainable aches and pains would show up when I reached this advanced age.
They were right.
What they didn't tell me was that I would doze off after watching half a commercial.
People ask me what my favorite show is and I tell them I have no idea. I haven't seen an entire television program in at least a decade (is Happy Days still on?).
My life can be broken down into two distinct eras. The years of my youth when I was alert and focused and on top of my game.
I call those The Golden Years (I just made that up).
And now my life is a pathetic existence where I spend my days just waiting for an opportunity to rest my eyes for only a quick second.
I'm not going to lie, I don't like where this is headed (life never seems to end well).
I'm turning into an old person who eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon so they can be in bed by 6.
Of course this means I will be awake at 2 o'clock in the morning so I can sit at the kitchen table and wait for the newspaper to arrive.
The newspaper that no longer exists.
Not about the newspapers.
During the course of writing(?) this blog, I took two naps. Seriously.
Even sadder, school will start soon and the kids in each grade will be the exact same age they were last year. Me on the other hand…

BATAVIA – Fermilab engineer physicist Fernanda Garcia gently brought down the copper pipe that is part of the powerful linear accelerator at Fermilab.
On Tuesday, Garcia and others worked swiftly, yet carefully, to replace a tube in the accelerator, which provides the beam for high-energy physics research and neutron radiation therapy.
"Without a new tube, the beam would just stop working," Garcia said. "It's just like your Christmas tree lights. If one stops working, they all stop working."
It's her job to make sure the accelerator operates correctly. The scientists at Fermilab use high-energy physics to understand the fundamental nature of matter and energy. At a price of $65,000, it's a good thing she doesn't have to replace it all the time. It's been about three years since it's been replaced.
"If we are down, everybody is down," Garcia said. "There is a lot of pressure to make sure we do the work safely."
In her job, Garcia spends as much time doing "hands on" work as she does in her office. She enjoys both.
"After this project, I will go back to my office and do programming and analysis," Garcia said. "You really have a chance to do so many different things."
High-energy physics is in Garcia's family. Her husband, Duane Newhart, also works in the accelerator division at Fermilab. Because she is around scientists most of the time, Garcia admitted it's sometimes hard to explain what she does and what goes on at Fermilab to someone who is not a scientist.
"I need to think how I am going to explain things," she said. "It's challenging."
After replacing the tube and checking and rechecking to make sure everything is in harmony, the accelerator is ready for use again. That means Fermilab's neutron therapy facility can treat patients again.
While Fermilab is known for its cutting edge scientific research, the neutron therapy facility has treated more than 3,000 cancer patients since opening in September 1976.
Neutron radiotherapy is offered at the Northern Illinois University Institute for Neutron Therapy at Fermilab. In 2004, Northern Illinois University assumed management of the facility.
Neutrons kill cancer cells by destroying their DNA. Neutrons are more effective at killing tumors than conventional radiation therapy, said Tom Kroc, head of the Fermilab component of neutron therapy.
Neutron therapy has been shown to be superior for some types of cancer, including locally advanced prostate cancer, locally advanced head and neck tumors, inoperable sarcomas and cancer of the salivary glands.
The neutron therapy facility has seen its share of success stories, including Kroc's father, Richard Kroc, who is in remission after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
"We treated my dad here more than 10 years ago, and he's still doing fine," Kroc said.
Patients typically require 12 treatments over four weeks – compared with 30 to 40 treatments lasting eight weeks for conventional radiation. Clinical trials were conducted at Fermilab for 10 years to determine which cancers could be treated effectively by fast neutron therapy. Neutron therapy no longer is considered experimental.
Garcia said she is glad to see the linear accelerator used to give cancer patients hope.
"Our relationship with the neutron therapy group is very healthy," Garcia said. "We always get very frustrated when the machine goes down and a patient is waiting. We try our best to keep the machine running."

FEATURE: Museums of Los Angeles: Part Two
Eric Gibson, in his WSJ review of a new wing in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, writes "…museums are about collecting as well as building…" That is a prime issue in this series covering The Norton Simon Museum, The Getty Center, and LACMA. In the first part of this series I praised the Simon Museum for its intimacy and experience combined with its depth of art. In each of these articles, I come as a stranger to a new city…filled with bias and anticipation…and trying to record what I see as I see it…without anymore expertise than a horny sailor at a fifty-cent peep show.
For me The Getty Center is the quintessential Los Angeles museum: impossible (or at least exceedingly impractical) to get to without using a car. You must wind your way through the Sepulveda Pass and the Santa Monica Mountains that separate the Westside from the Valley. Finally you see it…The Getty Center sitting on a peak, accessed via—what else—Getty Center Drive. Attendants wave you into a gray concrete bunker which becomes a winding Dr. Strangelove-like descent into the seven-levels of Dante's parking garage. None of this, however, inhibited the throngs of people who joined me for a brisk elevator ride back up to the planet's surface.
Bathed in Southern California sun, the tram station looks born in the New Wave French cinema of Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville, François Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 and Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle. Inside a plastic spaceship-subway pod we bumped and curved our way through Salad Nicoise landscapes interspersed with aerial views of the 405 Freeway.
At last we reached Getty Center's mountain-top main entrance where white stone and chromed steel and blue skies announced that this was Olympus and we should be prepared to walk with the Gods. Yes arriving at The Getty Center is a visual show all its own. The complex of multiple buildings seems even larger because there is nothing else next to it except the wild home of deer and coyote and mountain lions. Los Angeles exists as a far away dream sculpture seen from enormous windows and imposing observation decks.
In addition to the four main halls (named for points on the compass) there are multiple gardens and administrative and research buildings plus studios and an Exhibition Pavilion and a Lecture Hall and an Auditorium and to keep on naming all the features is needless. I glance left and right…people seem to either rush or move slowly…umbrellas and tables always available for shade and rest…I look up at Giacometti's enormous Standing Woman I…(my Giacometti is bigger than your Giacometti?)…and for a moment I feel no need to even enter a building. But I do because that is what you do with Museums; you enter to worship the ghosts of your civilization.
In the entire western world, museums must be divided between those that feel compelled to show The Renaissance and those that do not. Yes it was a great time in human history…blah blah blah…but why does so much Renaissance art make me think of cheesy political commercials? (Perhaps because that is what much of it is was?) But this time was different on my trip to The Getty Center—whether it was the specific examples or the setting or the day or the pretty young Asian school girls swirling around like excited butterflies, whatever—I fell under the spell of art that I usually walk quickly past. For now, let me chalk it up to the Getty's selection. I settled back and enjoyed the details of labor and skill in the amazing varieties of Jesus and his gang and their stories of good and god vs. evil and desire. This was the hip-hop Hollywood of its day and now because it is old and fragile we store it in giant temples such as The Getty Center and we come and look and maybe we even see ourselves in this old stuff. Later we think about it silently while answering email or maybe make a passing remark about it the next day.
Of course, as it was at the Norton Simon, when you turn away from the religious hoopla and sneak into the shadows of humanism, when art and sex conquer Religion, then the Renaissance really comes to life. And in this where The Getty Center excels. The sensual lust that artists masked behind Greek and Roman mythology seduces the viewer and cannot be talked away. It is about being naked, being ripe with desire. It is about blood and the human smells of hate and love.
It is the Getty's Northern Renaissance works, however—and three by Rembrandt—that left me breathless, specifically An Old Man in Military Costume, Portrait of a Girl Wearing a Gold-Trimmed Cloak, and Saint Bartholomew (this last is a direct link to Vincent van Gogh). And here, for me, is the fascinating conflict between the anti-religious Northern Renaissance and the Holy Roman Catholic Renaissance of southern Europe. All the sexy, exciting stuff is from the heavily religious south and all the beautiful but dry, pinched, tight-ass painting is from the north. And maybe that reflects the modern European political world today—in Germany we have Angela Merkel, a prim matronly woman, and in Italy we have Silvio Berlusconi, a vain lecherous old man. Yes the Renaissance is alive and well in the 21st Century.
If you like modern decorative art (small d and small a intentional) then you can browse La Brea Avenue's pretentious second-hand stores full of 50's junk. But if you want to see Decorative Art so insanely beautiful that it drove a nation to murder its King and Queen, the furniture and French Tapestries at Getty Center are awe inspiring. No Swanson frozen TV dinner short cuts, no phony San Fernando Valley McMansions, no Facebook/IKEA disposable software/hardware…here you will gain a hint of just how grand that period called "long ago" could be. Warren Buffett and Justin Bieber and Mark Zuckerberg all live in Pimple Land in comparison. And until you see this, you don't know what the word rich means.
For all that Getty Center has, there is also something that it does not have. By the time I reached the art of the 1800s the curators seemed to have run out of inspiration or inventory. Up to that point Getty Center was a thrill ride…and then the ride sort of just…slowed…down. Yes they have impressionists and post-Impressionists and van Gogh's Irises, but for this period of art history, the energy just wasn't there for me.
All museums acquire what they can afford at the time they buy it. That is why West Coast museums just don't have the…juice, the big stuff you see in East Coast and European museums. The West Coast came late to the party. That's the reality. And that said, The Getty Center is a wonderful museum and a wonderful experience. If you love art, do not deny yourself a visit there. I went looking for one thing, and was surprised and enthralled by something else.
