Close up view of the dragon artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll
To break down the artist's title:
Er = Two
Long = Dragons
Xi = Play with / Revel
Zhu = Pearl (of fire)
This artist's name is Li Yu-Jun from near Jinan City in the Shandong Province of Northern China. She was born in 1963 and started painting at an early age. Taking inspiration from famous artists of China in the beginning, she honed her skills and developed her own style over the years.
While she has dabbled in many subjects, her specialties are dragons as well as birds & flowers.
It was only by chance that I found her. I was seeking some new styles of dragons finding out just how hard it is to find good dragon artists. I happened to mention my dragon art frustrations to the manager of the gallery in Jinan that handles Yin Yi-Qiu's artwork (my favorite tiger artist). She immediately knew the perfect artist for what I was seeking. We arranged all the details for what I was looking for, and a month later several wonderful paintings were ready for mounting.
This dragon painting was done on high-quality xuan paper (often called rice paper). To get the deep and vibrant colors that you see, the artist had to paint in multiple layers (only the best xuan paper can be used for this technique - otherwise the colors would become muddy).
It takes a long time to complete one of these paintings with all of the painstaking detail.
When finished, and delivered to our studio in Beijing, it was mounted by hand to the silk scroll that you see above.

I have loved granola since I was a little kid. My mama made it sometimes but since I was one of the only members of my family who liked it, she didn't make it often. I got granola bars or granola cereal from the grocery store. Granola was not cheap, so it was an occasional splurge.

Egypt officials deny reports that Hosni Mubarak is dead
Top security officials denied reports by Egyptian state media Tuesday that former President Hosni Mubarak – whose health reportedly had been deteriorating since he was sentenced earlier this month to life in prison – was "clinically dead," saying instead that he was unconscious and had been placed on life support.
In any case, Egypt's fourth president, now 84, appeared to be entering his final days, just after Egypt concluded its first free presidential election to name his successor. Initial results suggested that Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi had prevailed narrowly in last weekend's runoff, marking the end of a state governed by former military commanders and the start, many hoped, of democratic reforms.
Mubarak, a former air force general celebrated for leading a successful air offensive during Egypt's 1973 war with Israel, was stripped of his military honors as part of his life sentence for crimes related to the suppression of the 18-day uprising that forced his ouster in February 2011, and it remained unclear whether he could receive a military funeral.
The conflicting reports of Mubarak's health seemed to many to be a legacy of his 30-year regime, marked by secrecy and false reports. He was transferred by helicopter to a military hospital late Tuesday from Toura prison, where he had been serving his sentence, after a stroke and health problems. At the military hospital his heart had stopped and he did not respond to electric shocks, leaving him "clinically dead," the official Middle East News Agency reported.
Minutes later, Gen. Mamdouh Shahin, a member of the ruling military council, told CNN that Mubarak was still alive. Security officials told the Associated Press that he was on life support. Those reports alone marked a change from Mubarak's time in office, when even suggesting the president was in bad health was illegal.
Indeed, for weeks there have been reports that Mubarak was depressed, not eating and being comforted by his son Gamal, himself awaiting trial in a cell next to his father. During that time Mubarak reportedly had suffered a stroke and a heart attack and had been given numerous shocks to revive him.
Many dismissed the reports, particularly during the final days of the presidential campaign, as a cynical ploy by Morsi's rival, Ahmed Shafik, who served as Mubarak's last prime minister, to garner pity from Egyptians who felt that the old regime had suffered enough punishment.
The news about Mubarak came hours after thousands of revolutionaries and Muslim Brotherhood supporters converged on Tahrir Square to declare Morsi president.
With Egypt's election commission not expected to issue official results until Thursday, the Muslim Brotherhood and Shafik's supporters have duked it out in the public arena, each side claiming victory even as the ruling military council grabbed powers away from the office of the president and the Parliament through a series of controversial decrees.
Ahmed Abdelaati, spokesman for Morsi's campaign, said that "according to ballot count forms signed and stamped by the Supreme Presidential Elections Committee, Mohammed Morsi is the president of Egypt." The Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party claimed that 13.2 million Egyptians voted for Morsi, compared with some 12.4 million votes for Shafik. The party based its tally on reports from party representatives who watched votes being counted and certified at polling stations throughout Egypt since polls closed Sunday night.
Shafik's campaign accused the Muslim Brotherhood of falsifying the forms and said that, according to its own count, the former prime minister received 13 million votes.
"We will not consider anything other than the elections commission's official announcement," a statement by Shafik's campaign said.
The Brotherhood and its supporters who rallied in Tahrir Square – including representatives of revolutionary groups who led the anti-Mubarak uprising last year – harshly condemned the ruling military council for its recent moves to seize power from the executive and legislature. In defiance of the military's decision to dissolve Parliament after a constitutional court ruling last week, lawmakers scheduled a meeting inside the parliamentary chambers Tuesday but were barred from entering by soldiers from the central security force, which cordoned off the downtown building.
"No parliamentarian will step foot in this building. Those are presidential orders by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces," a police major said through a thick steel barricade behind which riot police were lined up.
Mohamed El Omda, an independent member of Parliament and head of its legislative committee, was barred from entering Saturday and turned away again Tuesday. He said lawmakers planned to stage a sit-in – possibly provoking a head-on confrontation with the security forces.
"My appearance in front of the Parliament building today is symbolic," said El Omda. "We refuse the court ruling. It is not the constitutional court's authority to dissolve the Parliament."
On Saturday, the military council dissolved Egypt's first post-Mubarak Parliament after the constitutional court declared that the laws under which the fall's parliamentary elections took place were unconstitutional.
Azza El Garf, a female member of Parliament from the Freedom and Justice Party, described the dissolution of Parliament as a "soft coup."
"That is a political decision, not a legal one," El Garf said of the ruling. "Those were the first fair and transparent elections held in Egypt."

Pak MP's Refuse Body Scan
|Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says he had raised the issue with US authorities during his recent visit to Washington.
Pakistani MPs abandon US visit over body scanning
Pakistani lawmakers belonging to different political parties have refused to visit the United States amid a row over body scanning at American airports.
A senior member of the Pakistani Parliament told Press TV on condition of anonymity that 18 lawmakers had rejected official invitation extended by the US embassy in Islamabad.
The lawmakers say they would not visit the US until their exemption from scanning at US airports.
Earlier this month, a six-member Pakistani parliamentary delegation, protesting full body scanning in Washington, cut short their official US visit immediately to return home.
The US state department had invited them to Washington to discuss security in the troubled tribal regions of Pakistan.
Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says he had raised the issue with US authorities during his recent visit to Washington.
The X-ray machines show naked images of passengers.
Under the new rules, citizens from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen must receive an extra check of their body and carry-on bags before boarding a plane.

Stratford toddler Hayley Ryan is hosting an international visitor this month, with her parents Melitta Marshall-Smith and Aaron Ryan.
Hayley's visitor is a teddy bear called Nait, who is originally from England and has made his way to Hayley's house via Australia and Indonesia.
Nait is a cute and cuddly friend for the 18-month-old girl and also a bear with a mission - to raise awareness about a blood disorder called Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (Nait).
Melitta explains that Nait is a condition in which the parents' blood platelets are incompatible, causing the mother's body to create an antibody that attacks the unborn child's platelets.
Platelets are the part of our blood which help with clotting so the antibody attack means the baby is at risk of bleeding in the brain, stomach or other parts of the body.
Melitta and Aaron are now knowledgeable about the disease, though they had never heard of it before Hayley was born. Melitta says that, when Hayley was born at 42 weeks, she started to bruise easily and five hours after she was born her pulse didn't show up on the machine used to check it.
The newborn was rushed to the neonatal unit at Taranaki Base Hospital where she was diagnosed and treated for the potentially fatal condition.
The normal platelet count for newborns is about 150 - Hayley's platelet count was just seven. Hayley needed three separate platelet transfusions before she could go home and spent her first two weeks in the hospital.
Melitta describes Hayley as a miracle baby. "That's what they all called her in the hospital because she has recovered so well and has no long-term effects from it."
Once Hayley was home, Melitta started looking into the condition and educating herself about it. She came across a group on Facebook and its website and says the group is "a wonderful resource of lovely ladies who are just so helpful and giving".
The group put her in touch with other families in New Zealand. "There are just eight families that we know of in New Zealand dealing with the disease," Melitta says.
It was through this group that Nait the bear was conceived. He and his sister Naitalie have been sent off around the world as cuddly ambassadors for the disease. As they visit each family, they are taken on outings.
"We are going to our music group next week and will definitely take him up the mountain," says Melitta.
Nait will collect a "passport stamp" at the local post shop and be sent on to the next family. Nait will leave Hayley later this month and make his way to Invercargill.
While Hayley is now a happy and healthy toddler, Ryan and Melitta know that any future pregnancy will come with the certainty that the baby will have Nait. This is because Melitta is in what medical professionals term "the 100 per cent group".
Melitta says hosting Nait is a great way to spread the word about Hayley's condition, as well as reminding people of the importance of donating blood.
"I am so thankful for all the people in the world who do donate blood, as without them, Hayley's life could have been so different, or she may not have even survived."

A trucking company that employs more than 200 in the Twin Counties was named Twin County Regional Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Year on Saturday, during the chamber's annual awards banquet.
Hill's Coal & Trucking began in the early 1960s in Fries, hauling coal and fertilizer, said Raquel Lyons, the chamber's executive board attorney, before presenting the trophy to co-owner James Hill.
James and Gus Hill are the original founders of the business.
HILLSVILLE — 1935 proved a busy year in the Twin Counties.
Construction wrapped up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and tourists got to drive on the scenic national park road for the first time starting in the fall.
Fiddlers gathered in a convention for the first time in Galax to play some old-time tunes.
And, on May 15 of that year, 29 men who had served their country in the military mustered together to create the Grover King Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1115.
Local author and Eagle Scout Todd Shaw said Boy Scouts is a game with a purpose, where boys can learn life skills, have fun and carry on the values and principles throughout a lifetime.

Professionals and enthusiasts know that polishing is must for a show car shine!
BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish is a non-abrasive polish, and glaze combination. It wets the surface to create the illusion of the paint being under water. BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish helps hide minor swirls and scratches without removing any paint or clear coat. It "rounds-over" the leading edge of minor swirls which robs sunlight of a sharp edge to cause a reflection. While this visually reduces swirls, it does not remove them. This is a great product to use on a vehicle in good condition with very few swirls.
Gloss Enhancing Polish is designed for enthusiasts desiring the deepest, wettest gloss. When used under BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection, it's pure magic! The combination of Gloss Enhancing Polish and Wet Diamond creates a liquid-like wetness that looks like you could reach into the finish. This combination is especially stunning on black, red and dark colors but still shimmers on white, grey and silver finishes.
BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish can be applied by hand or machine.
Use Gloss Enhancing Polish to remove old wax, clean the top paint surface, visually reduce swirls and deepen the paint's gloss prior to wax or sealant application.
BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish beautifies all colors of any paint with or without a clear coat finish. This polish can be used on single stage or conventional paint, base coat, and clear coat finishes.
BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish is 100% VOC FREE! This makes the polish safer for your car's paint, safer for your skin and safer for the environment. Gloss Enhancing Polish will not weaken, dry or dull the paint with repeated use. This is cutting-edge polishing technology!
Note: BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish is a combination finishing polish and glaze but is not designed to remove swirls, spots or paint defects. What this polish does do, in one step, is create the same liquid wetness that would normally require using a separate polish and glaze. A "glaze" is not required with this polish. It is built into the formula.
If you have a show car, concours car, hot rod or just want a show-car shine on your daily driver, use Gloss Enhancing Polish and follow with a top coat of Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection.
- Removes old wax or sealants.
- Hides minor swirls and water spots.
- Beautifies all colors.
- Prepares paint for fresh wax or sealant.
Hand Application: Work out of direct sunlight. BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish can be applied by hand or machine. Shake well before using. Work on one section at a time (example: half a hood, fender, door, etc.). Apply a nickel-size amount to a microfiber or foam applicator. Wipe on using a circular motion until haze starts to form. Immediately remove residue using a soft, dry microfiber towel.
Machine Application: Use a foam polishing pad on your dual action or rotary polisher. Apply four dime-size drops of product onto pad. Use a medium speed (4-5 on a DA polisher or 1,000 RPM on a rotary polisher) to work product into paint using an overlapping motion until haze starts to form. Immediately remove residue using a soft, dry microfiber towel. Work one section at a time.

Migration Mentors
MM is a new software company that helps move (migrate) people from their big expensive old IBM mainframes to affordable Windows-based servers. They save money and move into the future, in one fell swoop. We provide consulting and software to facilitate the process.
Our typical customer is a CIO or CTO for a fortune 1000 company, so a little stuffy/stodgy. But at MM, we like to have fun. For example, I was thinking of putting a picture of me dressed up like a pirate for my Bio (probably not a great idea). But, fun is good!
Our customers are looking to save money (mainframes are expensive), and their COBOL programmers are getting old and retiring. We help them over the hump. Customer service is very important to us.
One idea would be to use some sort of wings for the M's in Migration Mentors, the wings evoking the image of geese migrating. Perhaps even a cartoon goose? Obviously just random ideas from a wardrobe challenged geek, so take it with a grain of salt. Variations on that or totally new ideas are welcome.

PERRY COUNTY – June 14 is World Blood Donor Day – a day set aside to celebrate those who donate blood to help save lives without expecting anything in return. It is also a day to raise awareness about how a safe and stable supply of blood products is vital for hospitals and patients.
This year, World Blood Donor Day is focused on the need for more people all over the world to help save lives by volunteering to donate blood regularly. The slogan "More blood. More life." was chosen to reinforce the important contribution that people everywhere can make by donating blood.
The American Red Cross reminds people that a safe and secure supply of blood products is a universal necessities. Blood can be used for trauma victims, surgery and transplant patients, premature babies, when there are complications during childbirth, and for patients receiving treatment for cancer or other diseases.
Local upcoming blood donations are set for 1 to 6 p.m. June 3 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Tell City; from 8 a.m. to noon June 5 at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Rockport and from 3 to 7 p.m. June 13 at Spencer County 4-H Youth and Community Center in Chrisney.
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission), weigh at least 110 pounds and are generally in good health may be eligible to donate blood. High-school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Tunisia's extradition of Libyan ex-PM 'illegal'
Issued on: Modified:
Tunisia's president slammed the extradition of former Libyan prime minister Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi (pictured) on Sunday, calling the move a "violation" and promising to hold the Tunisian head of government responsible for any mistreatment he receives.
AFP - Tunisia has extradited Moamer Kadhafi's former premier to Libya, igniting a fierce row between Tunis's president and prime minister, who disagreed over the move.
Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, who fled Libya to neighbouring Tunisia last September shortly after rebel fighters took the capital Tripoli, was extradited Sunday, a spokesman for Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali told AFP.
But the move sparked an angry reaction from the office of President Moncef Marzouki, who was in southern Tunisia Sunday for commemorations to mark the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the national army.
"The presidency of the Republic expresses its rejection of the decision of the head of government to extradite M. Mahmoudi and considers this decision is illegal, all the more so because it has been done unilaterally and without consulting the president of the republic," a statement said.
"The extradition decision, signed by the head of the Tunisian government, constitutes a clear violation of our country's international commitments and those towards the UN," the statement added.
"The president's office holds the head of government responsible for anything that happens after the extradition," and for anything that subsequently befalls Mahmoudi.
Marzouki had opposed sending back Mahmoudi, 67, because he wanted guarantees he would receive a fair trial.
Lawyers and rights groups have long argued Mahmoudi would be executed if returned to Libya, where a February 2011 uprising ended more than four decades of Kadhafi's iron-fisted rule.
He served as Kadhafi's premier from 2006 until the final days of his regime, and was arrested on September 21 in Tunisia as he tried to flee to Algeria.
Mahmoudi's lawyer Mabrouk Kourchid said his client was flown to Libya on a private plane, and condemned the extradition as a "state crime".
He accused Tunisia of respecting "neither the law, nor humanitarian values, nor human rights" in the process.
His client had applied to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees for political refugee status, but had not yet received an answer, he added.
"The High Commission had not yet given its response, and he should not therefore have been extradited," Kourchid said.
Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Rahim al-Kib insisted Sunday the rights of the extradited minister would be protected.
"The Libyan government reiterates that the accused will receive good treatment in accordance with the teachings of our righteous religion and according to international standards of human rights," he said.
He also expressed Libya's "profound thanks and appreciation to the brotherly nation of Tunisia" for the extradition.
Kib said Mahmoudi was being held in a prison under the supervision of the ministry of justice and the judiciary police.
The Tunisian government defended its decision, saying in a statement that a panel of experts sent by Tunis to Tripoli found all conditions were in place for a fair trial.
The case has further soured relations between Tunisia's president and his prime minister, in an already tense government alliance.
The Tunisian prime minister's party Ennahda won the country's first free polls in October -- but not by a big enough margin to govern on its own.
President Marzouki is a member of the Congress for the Republic (CPR), a nationalist party allied with Ennahda.

About Forest_GS
Wow, I didn't think cable television would die so soon.
(aereo will clearly win, as they literally aren't breaking any set-in-stone laws)
"If you don't understand English, you don't belong at the University of Illinois or any 'American' University,"
I kinda agree with that, but I'm 100% OK with said person as long as said person is at the very least making effort in learning the language.
Some publishers force the use of DRM I believe.
At the very least, the rules for fair use should be much better explained. There should be no reason to spend thousands just to find out if what you are doing is actually fair use.
And the land mines!
I learned about letters of marque from Bodacious space pirates anime. Great show.
(it's safe, no NSFW stuff, I think there was one female with tight suit at one point of the anime though)
I can't imagine it being possible to infringe on Vine. Fair Use should apply to everything no matter what on there.
Any bets on something in the copyright laws saying if first sale doesn't apply to it, copyright doesn't apply to it?...such a confusing web of laws.
I sadly saw something like this coming after the closure of Google Reader...
There is no guaranteed proof that "pirating" does any damage at all. There's no solid data to support these laws.
It would be nice if a new law didn't make most of the users of new technologies into instant-felons.
Here's what my Google Reader looked like- http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/Forest_GS/stylishpreviewgreengoogleRSS.jpg
Here's what my just-started Netvibes reader looks like- http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/Forest_GS/netvibes_zps5a9755bc.jpg
They look pretty similar to me, anyways.
The default is set to "show all", but it does "mark as read" while you scroll. To change it to "show New only" you need to click the "Change Display" button on the top-right. (hover the mouse over the button to see what the button is called)
Acts exactly like Google Reader for me now.
Thank you for posting about this. This development really put into question the dependability of ALL of google's services for me.
Breaking a digital lock just to enjoy a form of entertainment on a different device should never be illegal.
"doing a search explicitly for "pirate bay," not finding the actual site as a top result"
Something like that would just make me use a different search engine, one that actually gives me the searches I want.
We wouldn't need to worry about it as much IF copyright terms were reasonable in the first place.
TPB is no more dangerous, and very similar to a library. That's also one of the main reasons libraries are damaged by the rules minimalists want.
Or, like adults, ignore the monsters under the bed and say they aren't there.
A very interesting attempt at innovation from a different angle. I'm looking forward to the statistics.
Technically, you can use it on juice and koolaid to give it that soda fizz.

Being able to sufficiently protect irreplaceable museum pieces takes much more than simply having a state-of-the-art security system. Museums must consider all the possible risks they may face and implement logical and efficient security protocols in the event of an emergency or security breach.
Museums and historical sites must be aware of all the risks they face. "In major museums, security directors conduct regular risk assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of their security systems," said Sheila Palmer, Assistant VP of Loss Control Services, Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. "This can be done on an annual basis or whenever there is a significant change in exposure, such as the installation of a new, high-value or controversial exhibit, a change in adjacent or external exposures, or construction and renovation work."
RISKS DURING TRANSPORTMany collections displayed in museums are on loan, and museums often partner up with one another to display their collections all over the world. Proper procedures are taken to ensure a collection is safe while it is being displayed at a partnering museum. "We always look at the facility that it is going to, the type of security they have and the institution's reputation," said Ken Platt, Facility Director of the Butler Institute of American Art. "Their environmental controls and emergency plans — down to how many guards they have patrolling the display area — are fully studied and understood."
Artworks are most vulnerable during transport. "Most art loss or damage occurs while the objects are being transported," said Linda Sandell, Senior VP of Huntington T. Block Insurance Agency (an Aon company). "The two main prevention measures are to properly pack and ship objects by using materials and methods that take into account the object's size, climate considerations and fragility to minimize jarring and vibration during transit, and to maintain proper security during the loading and unloading process."
Third-party vendors who specialize in transporting museum objects are called upon to pack and ship all collection pieces. "They typically have long-standing relationships with their vendors and have worked closely with them to ensure they understand the museum's expectations. These include specific details on the quality of the casing provided for the object," Palmer said. "The museum must provide specific requirements for the cases since there is no standardized description of museum-grade cases. All objects should be shipped in unmarked vehicles that are equipped with alarms, air shocks and two drivers."
In the U.S., special consideration is paid to verify the identity of everyone who will be handling the shipment. "All employees must be approved by the Department of Homeland Security. This helps ensure that all employees of the shipper have met minimum security background checks." Palmer said.
An employee of the museum will also travel with the collection to its destination and back. "We make sure to never leave the collection unattended by someone employed by the museum who owns the collection. Once, we were transporting our collection when one of the trucks broke down. I stayed in that truck overnight at the repair shop," Platt said.
GUARDING EFFECTIVELYThere were two very notable art thefts in 2010 — one in Paris and the other in Egypt. "They were both state-of-the-art museums with expensive and elaborate security systems. However, none of them worked," said Charles Hill, an art risk consultant. "This was mostly due not to faulty devices, but to defective management policies. These two museums have lost their reputations, and once a museum loses its reputation, it becomes harder for it to acquire traveling exhibits from other museums. Another example of a defective management policy would be the case of the Munch theft from the National Gallery in Oslo in 1994." The theft occurred during the early hours of the morning. The guard on-site watched from the control room as the thief ran off with the painting while he followed procedure and called the director of the museum. "The theft was not stopped because the security procedure was simply inadequate."
Relying only on the security system cannot provide the protection necessary for a museum housing priceless objects. "Emphasis should also be placed on the human aspect — a balance must be found," Hill said. "Anything that can go wrong with a system will go wrong. So, it is important to not focus too heavily on the security system but to focus on the people who control the system and patrol the facilities."
Very rarely do museums hire guards from guarding companies, and all security guards who are hired go through an extensive background check. "We prefer to perform our own background checks and pick our own guards," said Jo-Hsin Chi, Chief Curator, Department of Registration and Conservation, National Palace Museum of Taiwan. "All of our guards have had extensive training in this field and have been employed by our museum for decades. We must be certain our guards are trustworthy because the security system alone is not enough to protect all corners of the museum. Still, we take caution and do not offer our guards keys to the display or storage cases inside our vault."
Studies have shown that most thefts are carried out by museum insiders. "Employees and contractors know the layout and how to bypass the security system. A study conducted by the FBI in the U.S. show that 87 percent of museum robberies were carried out by insiders. This means that security must be as high, if not higher, against threats stemming from inside a museum than the outside," Hill said.
This is why museums have recently begun using RFID cards to track their employees. "This allows the system to record exactly where one employee has been, or is, at all times," Sinar said.
Proper museum procedures will also prevent any possible risks. For example, firm security measures are taken to control the people going in and out of the storage vaults at the National Palace Museum. "The storage rooms are never to be opened during business hours except for emergencies, such as a fire, and luckily that has not happened so far. In order to open the door during off hours, the three assigned people who have the authority to open the vault must all agree and enter the vault together. RFID cards are used, and cameras are placed to record all entries and exits from the storage space," Chi said.
LOOKING AHEADNewer technology does not necessarily indicate perfect security unless it supports the risk assessment. But, newer technology may help a museum lower security expenses in the long term and offer some additional security program benefits, Palmer said.
Still,many museums find new technologies on the market unsuitable to their needs. "We find biometrics to be not 100-percent reliable and fear it may hinder our access to certain areas during emergencies. RFID tags are not used by us because we cannot attach them onto delicate paper scrolls or small objects," Chi said.
Currently, the biggest innovation in security is data trending, which allows authorities to predict something before it happens through predictive analysis. "For example, if you see the same person entering the museum 10 times a week, he or she could be surveying the property and planning a crime. The trend of a thief is very different from that of a common visitor," Sinar said.
All elements, such as the security system, the human aspect and good procedures, must be thoroughly planned out to best secure a museum or historical site. "Museums should direct their security efforts toward resilience, which means preparation for the foreseen, or even the unforeseen. This could be anything from floods to looting during a riot," Hill said.
One aspect of security should never outweigh others. Sometimes, common sense and proper management procedures combined with technology can be more effective than an advanced security system alone.

The Hollywood show was a Pick of the Week in the LA Times, and a pick in the LA Weekly!!"THE US GUITARIST GARY LUCAS DEFIED THE GODS AND BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE ONE OF THE DARKEST AND MOST TERRIFYING CREATURES IN THE LITERATURE OF HORROR...DRACULA DID NOT NEED TO RISE FROM HIS COFFIN IN ORDER TO RETURN FROM THE REALM OF THE DEAD; HE DID IT THROUGH THE GUITAR OF THIS LEGENDARY MUSICIAN, WHO, LIKE THE MOST CELEBRATED VAMPIRE FROM TRANSYLVANIA, HAS BEEN 'CONDEMNED' TO IMMORTALITY. " —GRANMA (Cuba), 12/2009 "ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE EVENTS IN THIS YEAR'S EDITION OF THE TRANSYLVANIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL...GARY LUCAS WAS FORMIDABLE—THE AUDIENCE WAS SPEECHLESS AS FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS LUCAS' FINGERS NEVER DISCONNECTED FROM HIS GUITAR...AN EVENT THAT NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET. " —ADEVARUL (Romania), 6/2010 "ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING EVENTS OF THE 9TH EDITION OF THE TRANSYLVANIA FILM FESTIVAL." —MONITOROL DE CLUJ (Romania), 6/2010 "GARY LUCAS' PSYCHEDELIC GUITAR PLAYING BEFORE OVER 800 SPECTATORS IN FRONT OF BANFFY CASTLE MADE THE AUDIENCE FEEL THE POWER—AND THE AUDIENCE GAVE HIM A HUGE REWARD OF APPLAUSE AT THE END FOR PROVIDING THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE." —KRONIKA (Romania), 6/2010 "YOUR PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT AT THE CINEFAMILY SILENT MOVIE THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD WAS GREAT. HAVING SEEN THE FILM MULTIPLE TIMES, I HAD MY DOUBTS, BUT YOUR PLAYING ENHANCED THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE". —PANCHO KOHNER, son of Spanish "Dracula" star Lupita Tovar and Hollywood producer Paul Kohner, after Gary Lucas' sold-out performance in LA July 2013Rave reviews for Gary's US Premiere at the 48th New York Film Festival!!"GARY LUCAS'S BRILLIANT MUSICAL DIALOGUE WITH GEORGE MELFORD'S SPANISH-LANGUAGE DRACULA RESCUES THIS NEGLECTED FILM FROM MERE CAMP, HIGHLIGHTING THE FILM'S MANY INNOVATIVE AND INDEED MODERNIST FLOURISHES." —RICHARD PEŃA, DIRECTOR OF THE FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER "GARY LUCAS MANAGES TO MAKE A COUPLE OF GUITARS SOUND LIKE A MASSIVE ORCHESTRA, ALBEIT ONE WITH ZITHERS AND THEREMINS AND OTHER SUCH ODDS AND ENDS. AND THE MUSIC HE CREATES ISN'T MERE ACCOMPANIMENT, BUT CAUSES YOU TO SEE THE MOVIE ITSELF IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT." —NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL ASSOCIATE PROGRAMMER SCOTT FOUNDAS "THE SATURDAY EVENING EVENT WAS TERRIFIC, AN INTOXICATING MIX OF MUSIC AND IMAGERY. GARY'S SCORE BUILDS A NICE, EERIE MOOD—AN IMMERSION IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF PERDITION AND ROMANTIC LONGING." —GLENN KENNY, PREMIERE (full review here) "GARY LUCAS'S BLUESY, LYRICAL SCORE FOR GEORGE MELFORD'S "SPANISH DRACULA" CREATES THE PERFECT SONIC AMBIANCE FOR A SCANDALOUSLY NEGLECTED FILM. LUCKY VIEWERS ARE TREATED TO BOTH AN IMPECCABLY PRESERVED PRINT OF AN OVERLOOKED CLASSIC FILM AND HAUNTING GUITAR RIFFS THAT REVERBERATE IN THEIR MEMORIES LONG AFTER THE SCREENING IS OVER." —RICHARD PORTON, CINEASTE MAGAZINE "ANY DECENT MUSICIAN CAN SCORE A SILENT FILM, BUT IT TAKES A CERTAIN AUDACITY—OR PERVERSITY—TO WRAP NEW MUSIC AROUND A TALKIE. FOR GEORGE MELFORD'S SPANISH-LANGUAGE "DRACULA," AUDACIOUSLY PERVERSE GARY LUCAS USES TWO GUITARS (ONE ACOUSTIC, ONE ELECTRIC) AND AN ARRAY OF EFFECTS PEDALS TO EVOKE APOCALYPTIC HORSEMANSHIP, SMOTHERING SPIDERWEBS, VIRGIN APPETITES, AND THE INELUCTABLE COSMIC DREAD OF ÜBER-VAMPYRE CARLOS VILLARIAS. THE OLD BLOOD-SUCKER HAS NEVER SEEMED QUITE SO VITAL." —RICHARD GEHR, MUSIC CRITIC FOR THE VILLAGE VOICEORIGIN AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Unknown to most film-goers—even die-hard horror and fantasy cinema buffs—a second, alternate, and many would hold, superior version of "Dracula"(1931, d. Enrique Tovar Alvalos and George Melford) was being filmed at night on the same sets and sound stages as the famous Tod Browning/Bela Lugosi "Dracula", with virtually the same script—but with a Spanish-speaking cast, in a Spanish-language production aimed at the burgeoning Latin market. The resulting film contains markedly more fluid camera-work and editing and more atmospheric use of lighting than the original "Dracula"—and boasts over-the-top, sexier—and dare we say, more full-blooded—performances from a cast including the great Mexican actress Lupita Tovar and Spanish born actor Carlos Villarias. In the fall of 2009, GARY LUCAS, following the success of his latest live solo guitar score for Tod Browning's silent thriller "The Unholy Three", turned his creative energies towards composing a new solo guitar score for the infamous Spanish-language "Dracula". The film, like the original "Dracula", contains virtually no music beyond the opening and closing titles—Gary's music flows throughout, underscoring the spoken Spanish dialogue sequences as well as the long expressive shots that contain only sound effects in the film. Havana Film Festival Premiere 2009 In December 2009, Gary Lucas performed the world premiere of his new solo guitar score accompanying the Spanish-language "Dracula" at the 31st Havana Film Festival by invitation of the Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamerica, at 8pm in the La Rampa Cinema in Havana Cuba.
