Would you like to learn house cleaning tips that allow you to get your house clean in less than half the time?
How many of you actually like to clean your home? Probably not many. I enjoy cleaning for more for the calmness it brings into my home such as it allows me to feel in control, it calms me down, and it brings a sense of order to the home. At times I also find the monotony of cleaning to be almost meditative. I don't have to think about cleaning, I just have to do it. It can be very methodical if you relax and just 'be' in the moment of the chore.
The next question is, who has the time and energy to clean your home? Now, having said how meditative and calming cleaning can be, finding the time to actually clean can be a challenge. Not many of us have the time to clean, but with the cleaning tips I'm going to share with you below, we all can find the time and energy because not much is required. You'll develop routines for yourself every day that will help you find the time to get and keep your home clean and organized.
Before we get started, we all need to make peace with the mess in our homes. In my years of organizing people's homes, I've found the majority to be either obsessive compulsive or ostrich like that stick their head in the sand to avoid the mess.
If you're obsessive compulsive like me, you may obsess about what is left undone in the process of getting other things done.
To keep my sanity, I've learned to let go and realize that it will all get done when it needs to. My method for doing this is creating a pretty basic system of cleaning, which I'll share with you on each of the house cleaning tip pages below.
In the following pages, you're going to learn how to clean the whole house quickly and with less effort by doing the following:

According to a press release, Sgt. Devon Kimball attempted to stop the driver of a 2002 Chevy Prizm for multiple driving violations about 7:30 p.m. but the driver continued south, reversed directions near the Merrimack town line, and drove northbound at a high rate of speed. West crashed into a vehicle stopped at a red light near the Ray Wieczorek Drive ramps.
Police said the collision involved three vehicles and sent one person to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.Police said West was uninjured and arrested at the scene.
The crash closed the South River Road northbound lane for about 45 minutes. Bedford Fire Department provided cleanup for a ruptured fuel tank.

Resident Evil: Retribution Reviews

Isolated Premature Thelarche
Isolated Premature Thelarche
Premature thelarche is a benign, self-limiting condition which is characterised by breast development with no other signs of sexual maturation. There is no pubic or axillary hair development, behaviour is normal, growth is normal and the skeletal age is appropriate. The breast development has atypical appearance with relatively immature nipple development and is never more than Tanner Breast Stage III. Breast development is usually asymmetrical and the breasts increase and decrease in size at about 6-weekly intervals. The condition tends to resolve after about 1–2 years and then the onset of normal puberty occurs at the appropriate age and in the normal way. Very occasionally, vaginal bleeding can occur. There have been some reports of women who have had premature thelarche as a child developing large follicular cysts during their menstrual cycles and, thereby, having reduced fertility. However, this has not been substantiated and what limited follow-up has been achieved in further series suggests that there are no long-term sequelae. Isolated premature thelarche is a relatively common condition. It is characterised by FSH dominance and overnight gonadotrophin secretion, which is characterised by single FSH pulses. On ultrasound the ovaries are small, but often contain large follicular cysts, which increase and decrease in synchrony with the breast development.
There may well be two types of premature thelarche. The classical type commences during the first year of life and tends to resolve by the age of 2.
There is a second form of premature thelarche, of which the age of onset is over 2 years of age and this tends to be more persistent and with a higher incidence of uterine bleeding. In this 'non-classical' form of premature thelarche, it may well be associated with progression to gonadotrophin-dependent precocious puberty. Isolated premature thelarche is a condition which is easy to diagnose clinically and requires no treatment.

Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Queen Charlotte's Cottage
My role...I am part of the curatorial team which cares for the buildings and contents of our five palaces (and one cottage). My responsibilities cover Kensington Palace and Kew Palace with Queen Charlotte's Cottage, though we help one another, if we have a particular specialism. My role is to research the palace, and to keep a close eye on any alterations or development.
My day...Each and every day I think -' what am I going to find out today', because no two days are ever alike. That's the beauty of these marvellous buildings: they generously dish up new morsels of interest every time you visit, whether to a visitor or a willing captive like me.
Highlights...An inexhaustible supply of food for the soul. Sometimes I'm sitting in my office with a sandwich and a cup of coffee and I have to stop myself and remember – 'you work in some of the greatest palaces ever built'. So instead of staring at my computer screen, I go and marvel at the skills of the wood-carvers, stonemasons, ironworkers, bricklayers and gardeners who have left their mark.
Lowlights...Being asked impossible questions at least once a day, such as 'Did Katherine Parr have any hobbies?' What do you think I am, the font of all knowledge? Actually she did love shoes, and had dozens – no, hundreds of pairs.
You need to have: An insatiable desire to find out – if I don't know the answer I think, 'How interesting. I'm going to find out if it's the last thing I do'.
Previously I was: An archaeologist. I was gripped by the archaeological bug when I was 8 years old, and that particular fire has never gone out. Buildings are archaeological sites too. Picking apart the sequence of development, piecing together the story and uncovering secrets in a building is just as interesting as grubbing around in a trench.
I follow in the footsteps of my great guru and mentor Adrian Gibson, one of the country's great buildings specialists, who died in 2006, before I'd had time to learn ten percent of the knowledge he held in his head.

TORONTO -- Epy Guerrero, a longtime Toronto Blue Jays scout who recruited several top players during the team's glory days, has died.
Reports indicated Guerrero died in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on Thursday at age 71. A team spokesman confirmed the news via email but did not provide additional details.
"Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family of longtime Blue Jays employee Epy Guerrero," the Blue Jays said on their official Twitter feed.
Guerrero, who worked for Toronto from 1978-1995, is credited with bringing players such as Carlos Delgado, Tony Fernandez and George Bell to the team.
"Just heard the sad news that my super scout Epy Guerrero died today. Thanks for giving me the opportunity. Rest in peace," Delgado said on Twitter.
The Blue Jays held a moment of silence for Guerrero before Thursday's game against Baltimore.

Since the last Post i know that not everything is out of the box with Silverfast. When i use ImageField in FE i got no input field. i just got the message: (german)
Bild kann angefügt werden, sobald Sie den Datensatz das erste Mal gespeichert haben.
means more or less
You can add the image after you stored the data record for the first time.
Makes sence, because there is no record ID at this time. But when i pass the data with session there has nothing changed.
I read some post here about passing the id as third parameter, it was the only advice i found, but don't work
like this
ImageField( FIELDNAME, SHOWNFIELDNAME , ANDHEREID)
Does somebody know, how to use ImageField in FE forms?
i attached an image of that ImageField

Angel investors are wealthy individuals who make early-stage investments in and provide advice to startups. In a slump following the recession, angel investment rebounded in 2011 with angels investing $22 billion in entrepreneurs.
Looking for early-stage financing for your life science or digital health startup? Crowdfunding, in which individuals and teams can raise money over the Internet from dozens or thousands of sources in small amounts, has become a popular financing tool.
David Ewing Duncan, director of the Center for Life Science Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, published an "old-fashioned call to arms and action plan for a new age of health care." The Personalized Health Manifesto was developed with the participation of about three dozen life science leaders in science, medicine, business, and more.
Traditional banks often don't know what to do with a business with no revenue and no developed product or service. But since bank financing is important for startups, it's a good idea to find a bank that understands startups' assets and the ebb and flow of startup sales and revenue cycles.
Because significant funding is needed to develop new, innovative life science and digital health products and tools, fewer ideas are making the leap from research institutions to product development teams. This clash between the short-term, earnings-driven needs of the medical marketplace and the risky, lengthy, and capital-intensive process of bringing medical ideas to fruition is a major challenge facing modern medicine.

Although the storage virtualization promises touted in 2000 turned out to be premature, today's technology does deliver at least the first step toward an automated, self-managing storage infrastructure that functions more as an IT utility, notes Gartner's Zaffos. But that version of storage virtualization is many years away.
One reason is economics. The storage vendors can't afford suddenly to lose the profits from their hardware businesses if storage hardware becomes a commodity managed by software tools. As a result, they're only likely to take measured steps to support the independent standards needed by third-party management tools, Zaffos says.
Operating system vendors may help force the issue if they adopt some of the Storage Networking Industry Association standards, such as Volume Shadow Copy Service, and start moving storage virtualization from network/storage middleware to the OS, says George Teixeira, CEO of DataCore. In fact, IDC's Villars says that in five years Microsoft Windows could implement storage virtualization for mid-tier enterprise deployments.
Another impediment to the grander storage-virtualization vision is that the large enterprises that benefit most from storage virtualization are the most conservative in deploying new technology, since their risk of failure is greater. "We're not seeing the deployments pushing to the technical extreme," Villars says.
The third reason is that the tools are still immature. Current tools focus on giving IT a common console for managing storage. Over time, vendors will begin to add automation and policy-based intelligence for provisioning storage and managing data migration and replication. But because of the complexity of the infrastructure that such tools must manage, "I don't see it for years and years," says Tom Clark, director of solutions and technologies at McData and author of Storage Virtualization (Addison-Wesley, 2005). In the interim, IT should expect to see point solutions such as heterogeneous replication and snapshots, he says.
But none of these factors prevent enterprises from benefiting from storage virtualization today. In the immediate term, companies should apply virtualization to solve specific problems, such as easing data migration or pooling data across SANs. As time goes on, IT can incrementally broaden its use of the technology, taking advantage of the continued improvements vendors will make over the coming years.

Work Slowdown - Two Minute Drill - Week of June 2
Work Slowdown
We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to achieve and succeed. And if we're not careful, the pursuit of one more sale, one more percentage point, or one more dollar sign can utterly consume our lives. If it doesn't, we know they can find someone else who will.
This makes the following statement from the Bible a brave one: "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody" (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12). It's a call to hard work, yes, but also to the pursuit of work's greater goal—a "quiet life."
This is not the same as a lazy life, one with never a care or concern. A quiet life is one of perspective and balance. Business, labor, and career will always have certain seasons that call for an extra ummph of exertion. Not every day will be "quiet," and we shouldn't expect it to be. Still, a quiet life should remain our general "ambition"—our overall normal—so that when work expectations are keeping our lives noisy and chaotic week after month after year, courage and conviction will call us to make some changes. Our lifestyle becomes our lifetime quicker than we know it. And quiet only comes to those who seek it.
Pray this prayer: I need your help, God, to understand what this means for me. I don't want to do anything rash, but I do want to be in your will. I want to experience life the way you intend it to be.

Movie Info
Taking his cue from such 1970s horror classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), animated rocker Rob Zombie goes celluloid with the throwback shocker House of 1000 Corpses. Running low on gas as they travel the highways of America in search of the ultimate roadside attraction, a group of teens pull into Captain Spaulding's (Sid Haig) museum of oddities (which also offers fried chicken and gasoline) only to become obsessed with uncovering the mystery of a

Zombie wants his film to be gleefully demented, but he fails to grasp that loud, inbred evil people torturing stupid, grating benign people isn't disturbing as much as tedious.
Possibly the greatest waste of celluloid since Jerry Lewis was first allowed to stand before a camera.
In this field of endeavour, any intense reaction is unsustainable, for the obvious reason that the guiding principle of repetition comes with an inevitable corollary and unavoidable side-effect -- sheer boredom.
House of 1000 Corpses isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days?
A cobwebbed, mummified horror entry that makes obvious, cartoonishly grotesque demands for attention.
Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses has nostalgia on its side but not much else.
This in-your-face homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the most unrelentingly sadistic flick to come out of Hollywood in quite some time.
I can applaud House of 1000 Corpses on at least one level: The movie has absolutely no interest whatsoever in sanitized horror.
Le r�alisateur cite abondamment, mais ne parvient jamais � donner un sens � ses �lans qui finissent par s'�parpiller dans un fourre-tout incoh�rent et anormalement tapageur
Um filme t�o est�pido e mal realizado que me despertou o desejo de agredir fisicamente o diretor-roteirista Rob Zombie, cujo sobrenome deve fazer refer�ncia ao seu intelecto.
Those who are tired of Hollywood's dead weight aesthetic might at least find some surprise offered here. It's not good, but it's alive on the screen.
It is disturbing, to say the least, and seems destined for 'cult classic' status.
I was never scared by this B-movie or its Grade-Z dialogue. The film usually has such a cartoonish, pulpy feel that all the spills and chills seem fake and unsurprising.
That rare film that strives for cult status and will most likely achieve it.
A tour-de-farce of depressing inanity, that's unable to do anything more than offer a messy, incoherent pastiche of other, better movies.
Unintentionally comical like a bad '70s slasher flick, but also enthralling in a circus freak show sort of way.
The gory bloodbaths are as gratuitous as ten Friday The 13ths combined on a Halloween night: if ever there was a film destined for Rocky Horror cultdom, this sanguinary delight is it.
Underneath the unhinged surfaces of this film is a tight little thriller that really grabs hold and never lets go.
It's like a Clive Barker gore-fest as interpreted by an idiot carnival showman, robbed of anything that would make it work.
There's a sense of overkill-no pun intended-that stops being drive-in fun and becomes exhausting.
Audience Reviews for House of 1000 Corpses
Set in the 70s and based on the exploitation films of the same time, the story follows four travelling writers Bill Hudley (Rainn Wilson), Stucky (Michael J. Pollard), Denise and Mary (Erin Daniels and Jennifer Jostyn) who are rescued by a family of sadistic serial killers whilst stuck in the rain; initially unknowing of their saviours evil intents, the group soon become subjected to a series of increasingly horrific torture.
Although the premise is the same as numerous other films' 'The House of 1000 corpses' sets itself apart with it's uncontrollable style and blunt force. Despite being told through the eyes of it's heroes, the real stars of the story are its villains 'The Firefly family', with Otis B. Driftwood (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) in particular being the main points of attraction. It is apparent throughout the extent of the film that Zombie is in love with his deranged creations, giving them ample opportunities to spout their morally astray ideologies in nightmarish and often heavily sexualised montages made up of gothic imagery and visions of death ("Whatever you need to do, you do it. There is no wrong. If someone needs to be killed, you kill 'em. That's the way").
Such use of narrative fragmentation would appear un-immersive if not for the film's sporadic, maniacal and unpredictable editing, which often uses effects such as split screen and archive style footage to unrelentingly draw audience's into its dark world. Where the film falters however is with its ambition, causing the unpredictable to become predictable, an example of this is the way in which Zombie frequently fills viewers with hope for their protagonists only to take it away, and, although effective the first two or so times, this gimmick quickly becomes overused and is outwardly tiresome by the end of the film. As well as this HO1C fails where many other modern horrors do, in its climax, which is overlong and descends into an unbridled sense of absurdity and un-believability.
Verdict: A master class in technical and tonal horror, House of 1000 Corpses is let down by the pitfalls of most modern horror.

Fabina Echeverria moves to oakland, unwillingly until she meets Jospeph Armstrong, a rockstar's son, he is romantic and perfect. they bond completly and Fabina's 12 year old sister falls for Jakob,...
I woke up to the sounds of bird chirping, my first morning in Oakland, Great. i got up and ate some cereal. i went upstairs to decide what to wear. i got my favorite faded grey skinny jeans and my Beatles shirt, put them on and looked in the mirror. i was presesntable. who cares what they think, i thought. i ripped a brush through my curly hair and put in some hairspray. i dug through a box looking for eyeliner. i found it and quicly applied some with clear lip gloss. i grabbed my tore up Green Day bag and ran out the door i ran to my school. just down the street. i learned that until class started we had to wait outside the school doors. i couldnt slow down, my purple converse were taking me faster than i intended to go, then i ran into him. he knocked both of us down "Oww!" i said rubbing my head "Watch where your going!!" he said without looking up. but when he did look up he looked apoligetic. "Im so sorry," he said smiling "Im Joey" i looked at him and smiled back "Fabina, but call me faby" he got up and offered his hand to me. i took it and he pulled me up grinning widely, we walked away from the spot in which we had fallen, and discovered wee had all the same classes. we went to homeroom first and sat next to each other, talking until class started. i learned he had a little brother named Jakob. who was my sister Emily's age. 12. the teacher walked in and we began teh lesson.
Emily's POV
i hung out on the grassy field waiting until we could go inside and start school. i was sitting away from everyone, until one boy walked up to me. the first thing i noticed was that he had chubby cheeks.

Alex CF: London Old Operating Theatre solo show and Lovecraft action figure
by Suzanne on August 5th, 2012
Very special Wurzeltod® friend Alex CF is back from touring with his countless bands and being an incredibly
possessed tentacled mastermind unstoppable creative force, he has some fantastic things lined up for you.
First up is the joyous announcement of his 2nd London solo show which will be opening this Thursday, August 9, 6.30 PM (RSVP HERE!), at the best location I could possibly imagine for his creatures, namely the veritable Old Operating Theatre located in the time capsule roof space of the Baroque St. Thomas' Church. It's one of the oldest surviving operating theatres on earth and to have it filled with Alex's cryptozoological specimens is an absolute curatorial masterstroke.
So if you're in London in August, I'd say FUCK THE OLYMPICS! and go climb the beautiful old spiral staircase to the Old Operating Theatre to be enchanted by Alex's phantasmagorical chimerae.
You can find all the details for the show below. Tell your friends about it.
Fetal skeleton by Alex CF, 2012
In other news that would make the Elder Gods jealous, Alex has just released an entirely hand-cast, hand-painted action figure of the dark lord, Monsieur H. P., himself.
Limited to 50 figures only, Lovecraft comes with a comic, a shirt and a screen print, all created by Alex, in a black magnetic sealed box.
You can see all the details here (where you can also see images of the figures in production). To order directly, please click here.

Berlinde De Bruyckere in Melbourne and Istanbul
by Suzanne on July 22nd, 2012
019 by Berlinde De Bruyckere, 2007, wax, epoxy, metal, glass, wood, blankets, 293.5 x 517 x 77.5 cm, Collection Claude Berri © Andri Stadler- click to enlarge
I've often raved about Berlinde's art on here - in fact, her work even invades my everyday life as arty backdrop - so I'll spare you the superlatives but instead just want to make you aware that if you're Melbourne-based, you now have less than a week left to catch her fascinating We Are All Flesh show at the ACCA.
In case you were wondering: Yes, Berlinde did have a show with the same title three years ago at Hauser & Wirth in London but it seems that different and lots of newly commissioned works are on display in Melbourne.
If you're not yet familiar with her work, the 15-minute interview below offers a great introduction into her vision, process and technique but of course will neither replace the olfactory, visceral and epidermic qualities of the wax, skin, hair and fabrics she uses for her sculptures, nor explain the necrophiliac alchemistic ways in which she can turn branches into limbs, tree trunks into fresh corpses by masterfully applying an organic colour palette (pinks for skin, off-white for adipose tissue, greys/greens/blues for the circulatory system) onto wax with which she can control, halt and synthesise transformation, decay, death.
If you're not in Australia but in.. who knows.. Turkey, you can also catch her Wound show at the ARTER Space for Art in Istanbul until August 26 where she has inspired Vincent Dunoyer to dance Bruyckeresque choreographies in the exhibition space surrounded by her sculptures.
Details for the Istanbul show can be found here. The information below is for the ACCA exhibition.
On show: Jun 2 – Jul 29, 2012
Address: ACCA, 111 Sturt Street, Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria 3006, Australia, tel: +61 3 9697 9999, email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Map
Hours: Tue – Fri: 10 AM – 5 PM, Sat – Sun: 11 AM – 6 PM, Mon: By appointment
Admission: FREE
Allison Schulnik's "Mound" at Nerman Museum, Overland Park, Kansas
by Suzanne on February 28th, 2012
Still from Mound video by Allison Schulnik, 2011 – click to enlarge
I don't think I ever had a) an exhibition announcement for Overland Park, Kansas and b) so little information on a show as there seems to be neither preview nor press release for Allison Schulnik's Nerman Museum show so I guess it's just an uhmm.. exhibition of Allison Schulnik's video work? Yay. ¬_¬
From the three images on the museum website, all I can gather is that more recent works will be on show as the pictures are all stills from her Mound video that the museum recently acquired and which you can see below.
So if you're planning to check it out, do share your impressions so I can update this post.
On show: Jan 13 – Apr 1, 2012
Address: Nerman Museum, Second Floor Galleries, 12345 College Blvd., Overland Park, KS 66210, USA, tel: +1 913.469.3000
Hours: Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat: 10 AM – 5 PM, Fri: 10 AM – 9 PM, Sun: 12 – 5 PM
Gisèle Vienne & Dennis Cooper with "Teenage Hallucination" at Centre Pompidou, Paris
by Suzanne on February 22nd, 2012
© Gisèle Vienne, via Dennis Cooper's blog – click to enlarge
Director/writer team Gisèle Vienne and Dennis Cooper have been working as a pair on theatre projects since 2004 and are now presenting a series of haunting productions, puppets and portraits at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Their show Teenage Hallucination evokes uncanny memories of the Chapman Brothers' army of creepy mutant girls (particularly the brothers' recent hybrid girl army with THEY TEACH US NOTHING swastika hoodies).
However, Gisèle's Olimpias are a lot less grotesque and hyperreal than the Chapman's creations but more cracked and broken in their appearance and there's a subtle sense of mutilated and traumatised individuality in her adolescents' intimidated stares and serious outfits.
© Gisèle Vienne, via Dennis Cooper's blog – click to enlarge
39 dolls will be on show as an installation accompanied by a beautifully shot photographic documentation of Gisèle's work with and on them.
Also on show will be Gisèle's and Dennis' newest theatrical piece which was produced in collaboration with Stephen O'Malley of SunnO))) fame (working on sound as well as wall drawing designs) entitled Last Spring: A Prequel (a trailer has not emerged yet, sadly, but will be added to this post later).
© Gisèle Vienne, via Dennis Cooper's blog – click to enlarge
But that's still not all because Teenage Hallucination is part of a festival at the Centre Pompidou that's packed with talks, presentations and screenings with other artists, filmmakers and authors and this coming Sunday promises to be particularly interesting/provoking with a presentation of Peter Sotos' Mine Kept and Pierre Dourthe (Hans Bellmer author) discussing The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death.
The full programme of festival events is here. It's quite intense if not slightly insane. Teenage Hallucination itself has opened tonight and will remain on view until March 12. Further details below.
On show: Feb 22 – Mar 12, 2012

"Surrealismus in Paris" at Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Basel
by Suzanne on November 19th, 2011

I dislike the way big art metropoleis *cough* London *cough* always label their sell-out shows *cough* Leonardo da Vinci *cough* as "Shows of the Century" when - IF you can afford the outrageous admission prices at all - these shows are normally so totally overrun you really can't appreciate the art or are even given a specific time slot and need to get the hell out after 30 minutes. Trust me, I know. I actually went to the last "big da Vinci thing" in London a couple of years back but I can't even recall whether it was at the V&A, the Royal Academy or the British Museum. All I remember is that I COULDN'T SEE SHIT and people had the NERVE to bring their Dan Browns along. Jesus Christ.
Anyways, so thankfully, there's always the smaller, quieter places that put on masterpieces of curating in the middle of nowhere – pretty much overlooked by the international media.
Well, one such tremendous art historical chef-d'oeuvre of a show is currently taking place at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen near Basel.
It's devoted to Surrealism in Paris and features some of the most outstanding works of the one art movement that will never ever die.
Amongst the usual suspects that I won't even bother mentioning here because the Beyeler is pretty notorious for its huge collection of surrealist art, you will meet the conjoined limbs of Hans Bellmer, the giant eyes of Paul Delvaux, the apocalyptic dreamscapes of Max Ernst and the sculptural synaesthesia of Méret Oppenheim.
Yes, I know right?! o_O
The exhibition looks also very stunning from an interior design point of view and a lot of effort, time.. and obviously money.. has been spent to contextualise and document the pieces. Definitely one to check out if you're in Switzerland.
Surrealismus in Paris runs until the end of January 2012. Details below.

Les Deux Garçons at Jaski Gallery, Amsterdam
by Suzanne on November 19th, 2011
L'Éphémère tangible by Les Deux Garçons, taxidermy, mixed media, 2011, 116 x 85 x 30 cm – click to enlarge
We're staying in Taxidermistan for yet another blog post. This time, we're revisiting the Dutch taxidermy artists Les Deux Garçons who I featured waaaaay back in the olden days in both the Porcellana Nervosa and Taxidermia Wurzeltodensis threads because they are so damn awesome.
And well, the two brothers have been busy since then and are currently showing brand new works at Jaski Gallery in Amsterdam. From what I understand, only the first 10 pieces of this preview will be on display (actually, I reckon it's probably everything that's dated with 2011) but I'm convinced you won't be disappointed if you enjoy the sickly sweet branch of taxidermy art.
Oh, and if you happen to have the… errrm… modest amount of €12,500 in your wallet, you can even purchase the title piece of this exhibition: L'Éphémère Tangible (see top image).
On show until November 27. All details below.

Richard Stipl at High Roller Society, London – Pictures
by Suzanne on November 18th, 2011
By Richard Stipl, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
Earlier this month, after visiting Essence of Edo-Tokyo at ICN, I decided to take the little journey from my old London home in Bethnal Green down Roman Road to check out one of the most daring and fascinating group shows of the year: Savant – curated by Joe Becker at High Roller Society. I posted about it here.
By Richard Stipl, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
I left deeply impressed by the oeuvres of Richard Stipl, Peggy Kouroumalos and particularly Rory Dean - whose paintings I expected to be much larger - and it became apparent that the one thing that all the featured artists had in common was a very obsessive-compulsive joyful drive to create. You could almost touch their collective exuberant imagination and the electric heat of their synapses during the creation of this show. And that's a very rare thing to feel at a group show – so chapeau to Joe for putting this show together and selecting such a great bunch of fellow artists.
By Richard Stipl, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
Also massive thanks to Jennifer Moran who runs High Roller for taking the time – on Guy Fawkes Night, no less – to show me around the exhibition, dig out secret works from the High Roller treasure trove and for discussing techniques, misunderstood artists, monsters and… dentures.
More of this kind of stuff in London please!
Savant runs until November 27.

Impressions of "Essence of Edo-Tokyo" featuring Ryo Arai at ICN, London

Papier-mâché yokai by Ryo Arai, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
Although I missed the opening reception for Ryo Arai's show at London's ICN Gallery, I did manage to check it out after a fantastic Liberty Snake ZeroZeroNain organised by Misanthropop that saw some of London's best post-punk DJs and connoisseurs come together.
Papier-mâché yokai by Ryo Arai, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
Anyways, after admittedly being initially a bit disappointed that the sculpture on the exhibition flyer was not actually on show, everything completely made up for that slight flaw. So much so that this is hands down my favourite London show of 2k11 after Charles Matton's Enclosures at All Visual Arts earlier this year.
Papier-mâché yokai by Ryo Arai, photo by Wurzeltod – click to enlarge
It was tricky to capture all the details of the gorgeous papier-mâché texture of the sculptures in the photos but I hope you nevertheless enjoy these impressions of the show.

What's more is that the ICN staff was extremely sweet, helpful and very knowledgeable and I purchased an absolutely gorgeous and apparently out-of-print Ryo Arai monograph for as little as a handful of sushi.

East London can be glad to have this magical new place delivering so much Japanese ocular and culinary goodness to the area.
Essence of Edo-Tokyo will remain on view until this Saturday, November 19, so do go check it out if you're in London.

Ryo Arai in "Essence of Edo-Tokyo" at ICN, London

Jorogumo by Ryo Arai – click to enlarge
This is an exhibition announcement for a brand new gallery space London, i.e. myself, has been waiting for: ICN Gallery has officially set foot in Leonard Street to FINALLY bring some much needed japanophilia to East London's art scene and will therefore from now on be my first automatic stop to check out in town – just like the always yummy sushi counter at the Japan Centre.
Essence of Edo-Tokyo presents the works of Ryo Arai & ITARO – both are showing to a London audience for the very first time.
Ubume (detail) by Ryo Arai – click to enlarge
You can tell I'm particularly enamored with Ryo Arai's papier-mâché yokai and I cannot wait to see his works in person. The images featured here are all from his Yokai Hariko series but from what I can see in the press release, only the top sculpture, Jorogumo, will be exhibited – together with other recent oeuvres by him.
The press release states very correctly:
"Utilizing techniques from Edo karakuri, transom sculpture, netsuke and noh theatre mask making, his transcendent techniques makes it hard for the viewer to believe that his work is actually made out of paper."
Oh, and did I mention ICN also has a café specializing in Japanese tea?! Details below.

Composer Richard Causton worked with the European Union Youth Orchestra on Twenty-Seven Heavens, premiering in the UK tonight at Usher Hall in Edinburgh as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
Causton composed the work, which he describes as a Concerto for Orchestra, for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad festivities celebrating the UK, London, and the Olympics. The orchestral work is one of 20 new pieces specially commissioned for the occasion from some of the UKs finest musical talent, and it is the first new work ever commissioned by the European Union Youth Orchestra.
Twenty-Seven Heavens takes inspiration from the writer William Blake's epic poem, Jerusalem. Jerusalem is very much rooted in London, drawing parallels between aspects of the poet's mythological world and various districts of London — a particularly appropriate idea for a work celebrating the culture of the 2012 Olympic host city!
The world premiere of Causton's exciting new orchestral composition took place in Amsterdam on 20 August 2012, with the UK premiere following tonight in Edinburgh on 23 August, and a third performance in Darmstadt, Germany on 25 August, each with Gianandrea Noseda conducting.
In the following film by Black Swan, composer Richard Causton and members of the European Union Youth Orchestra reveal the collaborative process between composer and performers in the creation and preparation of a new piece of music.
In this film for the Edinburgh International Festival, composer Richard Causton explains the connections between musicians and athletes, and writing a piece for the Cultural Olympiad.
Richard Causton was born in London in 1971 and studied at the University of York, the Royal College of Music and the Scuola Civica in Milan. He has worked with world renowned performers such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonieorchester Basel, London Sinfonietta, and the Nash Ensemble. He has been the recipient of several awards, including First Prize in the International 'Nuove Sincronie' competition, the Mendelssohn Scholarship, a 2004 British Composer Award in the Best Instrumental Work category for Seven States of Rain in 2004, and the 2006 Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Chamber-Scale Composition for Phoenix. In September 2012 he will take up the post of Professor of Composition at Cambridge University.

UBM plc is a leading global business media company. We inform markets and bring the world's buyers and sellers together at events, online, in print and provide them with the information they need to do business successfully. We focus on serving professional commercial communities, from doctors to game developers, from journalists to jewellery traders, from farmers to pharmacists around the world. Our 6,000 staff in more than 30 countries are organized into specialist teams that serve these communities, helping them to do business and their markets to work effectively and efficiently.
UBM Puts All Its Business Divisions Onto Jive — and Transforms the Company's Culture
UBM's initiative to operate as "one company" while maintaining the autonomy of its business units ultimately led to a significant change in the company's culture. UBM went from a federated company with divisional and functional silos to one with a UBM-wide employee Social Business network, powered by Jive, where transparency and collaboration reign. And it's paid off in concrete terms both for the company, with tangible business benefits, and the people who work for UBM, who can't imagine doing business any other way.
Business Trigger: The Need to Leverage Synergies
Balancing Collaboration with Operational Independence
UBM operates as a decentralized company with more than a dozen distinct and autonomous divisional operations, primarily in Europe, Asia, and North America. UBM is disciplined at identifying acquisitions that will give them a strong return on investment. However, it was clear to management that many business synergies were going untapped. Many of UBM's divisional staff executed similar tasks and projects; they just happened to be operating in different industries or geographies. The decentralized nature of the organization, coupled with an under-integrated IT structure (itself a result of completing more than 80 acquisitions in five years) made it extremely difficult for UBM employees to connect with peers in different locations and business units in order to share their business experience and expertise.
Model for Driving Business Change
"CEO Sponsorship = Artillery and Air Cover"
UBM first encountered social software at an executive offsite, where 100 of UBM's most senior executives used wiki technology to capture the dialogue that was taking place. This, they said, is just what we need to continue our dialogue when we return to our respective offices. However, the excitement and energy about the wiki technology soon died down. In retrospect the issue was two-fold. The technology wasn't very easy to use and, without someone or some event driving the process, usage dwindled. But CEO David Levin believed Social Business could work given the right setup and support. He charged two executives, David Michael in IT and Jenny Duvalier in People & Culture, with finding a better-fitting software and a community manager to ensure adoption of it.
Why Jive?
"Even as awareness by employees of the vast diversity and scope of UBM's businesses is growing, UBM overall is coming to feel like a smaller, friendlier, more cohesive place as connections spread and strengthen across organizational and geographical boundaries."
Ted Hopton,
Community Manager, UBM
"Easy to Use Yet Feature Rich"
David Michael saw a demo of Jive at UBM's own Web 2.0 conference and the appeal was obvious. He had a sandbox set up for testing and quickly concluded Jive could meet UBM's needs. Jenny found their new community manager, Ted Hopton, leading a customer-facing community and advocating the use of internal wikis in one of UBM's recently acquired businesses. Things moved quickly from there with just the small team of three.
"We had already researched a number of other social media and wiki products," says Ted. "It didn't take a formal process or an RFP to know that what Jive offered was superior. It was easy to use yet still feature rich. Our evaluation took the form of severely kicking the tires of the Jive platform during a pilot to make sure it delivered as promised."
The secure online community powered by Jive is UBM's first corporate-wide software solution. UBM reports that evangelizing success from the top down and bottom up, plus getting the technology right, were critical to getting 80% of their employees connected within 12 months, driving initiative, and inspiring innovation that led to benefits to the top and bottom line.
Jive Drives Business Value Across the Board
Tangible As Well As Intangible Measures
UBM has documented concrete business value and a transformed corporate culture that maps to their business objectives for the platform: information sharing and collaboration across divisional and functional silos to make the company as a whole more effective and efficient.
- Efficiency and effectiveness
Nearly half of UBM's employees report time-savings and improved effectiveness in working with others, and more than half find information faster or more easily.
- Locating and negotiating with suppliers
Some of the more tangible measures have been hard savings where teams have shared information about suppliers to locate the best ones in a region and join together to negotiate better terms. With hundreds of offices and events around the world and no central support team, more effective connecting and sharing now takes place in Jive.
- Innovation
UBM estimates that 7% to 10% of usage has driven new innovation in the business leading to top or bottom-line growth. More than a third of UBM's employees cite changes in business approaches or strategies, as well as development of new business opportunities, as a result of using the technology.
- New business development
UBM's divisions have teamed up online to win business they couldn't have developed as rapidly and smoothly before, such as launching a $100,000 new annual awards event across three different companies and time zones.
- Driving initiative
A number of groups have formed around functions and expertise, such as SEO and mobile applications, and now have hundreds of virtual staff, most of whom have never met and would not have known of each other otherwise. They exchange best practices, compare vendors, ask and answer questions, and even offer training sessions for each other—all without any management involvement.
"Today UBM has embraced this new, digitally focused world with, among other things, an online [community] platform… It's just one more sign that management and traditional publisher lines of communication that run up and down the corporate structure have been overwhelmed by a new type of interaction that is peer-to-peer. This new communication is faster. It is more intuitive. And it will change our business profoundly."
David Levin,
Evolving a New Culture
Significant Changes in the Way People Work
Today, after nearly three years of connecting, communicating, and collaborating, UBM is evolving into a different company. Ted reports that a comparison of user survey data from 2010 to 2009 confirms what they have been observing anecdotally for some time now: Jive is contributing to significant changes in the way people at UBM work, including cultural shifts in perceptions and attitudes. Nearly every comparison between 2010 and 2009 indicates movement in the right direction, says Ted. In addition to the examples cited earlier, the most significant benefits reported by employees from using Jive are:
- I'm better connected to my colleagues and/or the organization (61%)
- I'm better informed and stay in communication with others (64%)
- I use the wiki [their name for Jive] to work collaboratively with colleagues (61%)
- I've learned useful things I otherwise would not have known about (74%)
- I've learned about other parts of UBM and what they are doing (77%)
- I have a better overall understanding of UBM as a business (71%)
- I feel more empowered (46%)
- I've made suggestions and raised new ideas (44%)
Jive at Work for UBM
"There is no denying that our company is a fundamentally different place than it was before we launched our Social Business initiative."
Ted Hopton,
Community Manager, UBM
Broad and Growing Range of Use Cases
UBM launched their community with a strong belief in the power of emergent technology to create value as the community grows. UBM's broad and growing use cases generally fall into these categories:
- Improving executive communication and reach
- Collaborative conference and tradeshow planning
- Collaborative product-launch planning
- Collaborative website design
- Transparent workflow
- Increasing strong and weak-tie connections across divisional and geographical boundaries
- Building bonds among employees with non-work groups
- Coordination and collaboration among management teams
- Encouraging ideation
- Rapid sharing of breaking news
Next steps for the Jive platform include adding the Microsoft Office Connector and Ideation modules as well as upgrading to Jive 5.
Driving teamwork in real time
When the volcanic ash crisis struck Europe in 2010 (after a long -dormant volcano erupted in Iceland), UBM employees used blogs, discussions, and even created a new group spontaneously to share information, assess risks, and identify opportunities. These personal connections quickly had a business impact. Within days, UBM launched a revenueproducing webinar about the volcanic ash crisis, drawing upon the expertise and connections of UBM staff across multiple divisions and countries.
While Jive-powered connections during the volcanicash crisis morphed into a UBM webinar, doing business on a social platform transcends the bottom line, emphasizes Tracy Maurer, system administrator for the Jive platform. "Jive is about humanizing and connecting with other employees. It has helped me feel like a valuable part of the whole rather than an expendable resource. I have been able to connect with people I'll never meet, maybe never even talk to. But because of their shared stories and experiences, I am able to care more about this job and this company. This degree of humanization leads to more employee loyalty and a stronger desire to help the company prosper&emdash; and that's what drives Jive's impact on the bottom line."
"The future is so bright I have to wear shades"
That quote from Ted Hopton is so compelling, we had to put it in a headline. In his Adventures in Social Media blog Ted describes the upside potential of Social Business as "huge" in terms of company-wide efficiency, cost reduction, and revenue generation. "There is no denying that our company is a fundamentally different place than it was before we launched our Social Business initiative. Not only is it successful beyond our wildest imagination, we can't imagine getting business done without it."
In another blog, Ted describes the Jive platform in these terms: "It's like a machine that our CEO can reach into and pull on levers to make things happen within our organization. The CEO [David Levin] wrote a blog post about our mobile strategy and plans, citing some successful examples. He linked to a group in our community that's all about mobile and suggested that everyone working on mobile should list what their projects are so we can coordinate across the enterprise, share ideas and best practices, and learn from each other. Presto! A document was created in that mobile group and people added their initiatives to it… The document has grown into an invaluable resource for everyone across the company who is working on or thinking about anything mobile."

"I heard an ambulance driver on his radio and he seemed quite frantic, and the ambulances had a police escort in front and behind as they went off to hospital.
"It's shocking and very upsetting, especially to see child being carried out like that."

In today and Thursday's final installments of wine terms (see The Growing Process and The Wine Making Process), we focus on wine-tasting. Can anything be more annoying than hearing snooty tasters use all those descriptives about what's in their glasses? Well actually, they're not snooty at all. It's just that what they're saying seems odd to those of us not as familiar with the language.
So, let's pull back the curtain and take a look at some of these terms. Maybe you'll see that they actually make sense.

Nah, if they are good parents thats all that matters. My parents are a little older than most but I wouldnt ask for anyone else.
Not really. You would have been 23 when he/she was born. My friend was 22 whenhe got married and had a boy when he was 24.
I am 41 and have an 18 yo..
There was a 9 year old Mom in Mexico last week. That would make her 27 when her child reaches 18. I don't think this is the current record.
Not at all. I think that's a good age for having kids.
No, that's a reasonable age.
Sounds fairly normal
Seems about average.
Seems ok
I don't think so, but maybe you are thinking that????
Ill only be 36 when my kid is 18
YES, I was 39
That would mean he was 23. That's not that unusual.
Yes. That is young for 18 year old. Time to have more
No, my son is 18, and I am 42.

The more you know about a prospective faculty sponsor, the better off you are going to be in convincing them of your interest in working with them. To learn more about individual faculty, view their profiles on their departmental websites. When you contact a faculty member about sponsoring you, be sure to include your resume and a brief description of why you would like to join their lab. OEB faculty who have expressed an interest in taking on a new student are listed at the bottom of this page.
Note that faculty are extremely busy and sometimes get behind in responding to emails. It is your responsibility to follow-up either by phone or another email.
Acceptance into OEB is dependent upon meeting academic standards, having faculty support and securing funding. OEB does not accept students unless we can offer a financial package. Competition is stiff; even the most exceptionally qualified students are not necessarily guaranteed acceptance. Stellar students who secure grants or fellowships are particularly appealing to advisors, as they already have a proven track record and bring their own funding. Students with research experience, excellent letters of reference and publications are also at an advantage.
More about Funding
Each year we receive applications from 50-75 students, most of whom are academically well-qualified. Of those, we are able to fund only 5-8 students. Our program does not accept students for whom it cannot provide financial support, thus many admission decisions come down to funding.
OEB has limited means to provide financial support. The faculty member who sponsors your application must agree to provide a substantial portion of your financial package through their research grants. It is therefore important to convince prospective advisors that you are a good investment.
Most OEB grad students are supported by a combination of Teaching Assistantships (TA, provided through OEB) and Research Assistantships (RA, provided by advisors). Typically we offer 2 years of support to MS students and 4 years of support to PhD students. Whether a student is supported by a TA or an RA, tuition and most fees are waived.
A number of OEB students have their own support. A few have NSF Graduate Research Fellowships or Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants, or other extramural funding. Each year a few are funded by one-year University Fellowships. We strongly encourage both incoming and continuing students to apply for extramural funding.
OEB Faculty who are seeking students for Fall 2013
