Interesting to note that many of the works chosen were not and could not have been inspired by what we now call jazz. Any thoughts?
Jurzy Girl
Hi! Let's try this…In Jurzy's order of appearance… Part I
Marc Chagall:
Salvador Dali:
Henri Matisse:
Claude Monet:
Pablo Picasso:
Jackson Pollock:
Vincent Van Gogh:
to be continued…
Part II.
Vincent Van Gogh:
Cannot locate Irises or Self-Portrait on MOMA website; maybe Sonalii can find the paintings somewhere!
A great project for long-range study! Best, Glo.
My initial thoughts were almost opposite, Jurzy. I could "see" jazz and musical connections as most accessible in the listed art, with exceptions of Dali and Pollock. How did Ted Nash approach these two artists in tonal, thematic and harmonic style? Just wondered. Thanks, Glo.
I found the two Van Gogh's here:
Irises: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/gogh/irises/gogh.irises-pink-gree.jpg
Self Portrait: http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/gogh/self/gogh.self-orsay.jpg
(Not sure which one of the two)
Thanks, S! Hope Jurzy will be surprised when she logs on next time! Now… we need to find out more about the music! Jurzy, which compositions stood out or best reflected the paintings musically? Was any piece like a "tone poem," which musically told the story of the painting? Were the works more impressionistic or abstract? How did the instrumentation complement the art?... Aside from the accordion and violin, were there additions to the brass sections?
Luigi, do you know whether J@LC and MOMA will co-produce a cd rom? Hope y'all will comment on your favorite selections of art from this list.
GLoria, still don't know.
They'll let us know soon….
Thank you for the wonderful links about artist.
I viewed them all in NY at MOMA !!!
My favourites are Picasso and Van Gogh
Here's something I found regarding Pollock's connection with jazz and art:
As early as 1945…one prescient critic compared the "flare, spatter and fury" of Pollock's paintings to modern music…Pollock loved jazz…"rocking and rolling" for days on end to Dizzy Gillespie, Bird, Dixieland, and bebop. What undoubtedly attracted him to this type of sound was not just its rhythm and tempo, but its naked presentation of honest and deeply felt emotion…Pollock could tell his wife that jazz was "the only other creative thing happening in the country."
There's a connection an artist feels when painting-you have your subject matter in mind and as you start to the develop that subject onto the canvas it opens a different visual that you manage to incorporate into the original concept. When listening to music while painting, your stream of thought captures the sounds you are hearing and you begin to follow those sounds with the movement of your brush, creating textures and strokes in an almost lyrical fashion while staying true to your original concept.
If you look at the work of Pollock and have in mind the sounds of Bird or Gillespie,concentrating on the work, you can see how he followed the music through his strokes and splatters. When he produced his work, it was so free of conventional technique, most people didn't or couldn't comprehend what he was conveying on canvas.
Your description provides a great example of arts integration, S, combining jazz, painting and abstract expressionism… bebop in action!! I'm most impressed by the contrasting works of art Ted Nash selected from MOMA and remember looking at Pollock's One: no. 31, which takes up the space of an entire wall at MOMA; (at this museum you can go right up to the paintings without any barricade). Like Luigi, I saw most of the referenced paintings, and especially liked the Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet.
Just found an article on:
I am completely overwhelmed…I go away and come back to the most provocative discussion of jazz and art that there ever could be because none of us are (or claim to be) professionals at this sort of thing and the dedication we have to this field of exploring the connections between music and art and life is truly exceptional. There's mentorship that happens her, encouragement, scandalous and shameless name calling, inappropriate (my age again, forgive me) sexual meanderings and suggestive commentary, and all sorts of compelling reasons to join and stay on this site.
Luigi, maybe we should do a Jazz Journal…a collection and analysis of this site's more insightful commentary. It would do well to show how Wynton's influence encourages people of all ages and walks of life to enter into relationships with one another tat are enduring and endearing, that provoke intellectual debate and enhance an understanding of the music and our shared culture.
That all said, I am just back in from being far away and have checked in only a very few times. I have a lot of catching up to do! I hear there was a CD release party for the Plantation to the Penitentiary Cd at the NY Historical Society? What a magnificent choice of venue, brilliant actually. The current exhibit is the second round of a Slavery in NYC exhibit that started last year. SOmewhere in my papers I have a copy of the lyrics but think I also saw a link to the lyrics on this site? I'll have to check…been away too long. Much too long.
Seeing the images from Teds night on this site brought back fond memories of a magnificently curated show. The images were so powerful that night, so big, bold and captivating because they were humongous in size!
Ah, and the Atlanta show is coming up soon and I will miss it! Que pena, que pena y dolor! Those who attend will surely give a report…where is Rocky James ? Where is Frederique? And Nic…my favorite student and David O from Australia?! What happened to him?
Aaron Diehl is having a senior recital in a few weeks and I will be sure to attend. He is a brilliant pianist and a good kid. I am glad to have Jonathan Batiste to watch from this point forward. Jonathan has an old spirit when it comes to playing, he has been here before. There is a depth and maturity in his playing that is absolutely at odds with is age. He was, as they say, "born knowing." He is one to watch.
And I am off the point of this thread….Much reading to do! I think it's Ellington next? April is Jazz appreciation month, what are YOU doing to celebrate? It is also my birthday and Duke's and so we should celebrate.
carinos pa'todo el mundo!
Jurzy Girl
Hey Jurzy… an update from "on the run": Spring breaks are in full swing so we're temporarily out of pocket. Surely someone will report about J@LCO Songs We Love (may attend Meridian/Atlanta), this tour is wrapping up in NYC. While you're catching up with fansite (haven't heard from regulars lately; on vacation, too, or stuck in snow?), would like more info. if you can share it about Ted Nash's orchestrations with the wonderful art. Glad you're back to help get things back on track…
Have you checked out the Hasse book on Ellington? Looks good, and we'll add favourite recordings. Did you listen to From the Plantation to the Penitentiary yet? Probably should start new thread on it. jazzjournal/JazzNotes sounds uplifting if we can get it all together, time accompanied by opportunity, you know… Later, Glo!
The images from the Ted Nash show moved me. As I looked at each image, I tried to imagine the music that accompanied each piece. How I wish a sound recording could be made available of that night. Nonetheless, I did receive some artistic inspiration and have been working steadly on some pieces, hence my relative absence from the site. I think a jazz journal sounds like a fantastic idea. So many differenct perspectives offered that have both informed and stimulated the senses all due to the connectivity of Wynton's music and ideas.
Looking forward to the Atlanta show. I will post a report. Sorry you won't be attending Jurzy. Perhaps we can all plan a future date to meet one another.
Does anyone know if Wynton will be meeting any of his fans after the show? And if so, how does one go about meeting him?
More to come…..
Hope they'll distribute a cd rom of this production. Any word?
There was word about Aggie Gund being given a strong recommendation about that night's performance. I have not followed up but think this could only help in the production of a CD, at least, and would encourage greater collaboration between the visual and musical arts.
We'll see…
Jurzy Girl
When is the new recording going to be released?!

A building at Naval Support Facility Indian Head will be dedicated to honor U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Terry "T.J." Honeycutt Jr., who died while serving in Afghanistan in 2010.
A dedication ceremony will be held Aug. 7.
An estimated 3,000 people gathered for Honeycutt's funeral on the morning of Nov. 15, 2010, at New Life Church on U.S. 301 in La Plata, lining the highway for hundreds of yards.
"To get a building named after an individual, it's a fairly long process," said Dennis McLaughlin, technical director of Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division.
McLaughlin said that the process is lengthy because several levels of authority, including the secretary of the U.S. Navy, must approve the name.
The building to be named for Honeycutt, until now known as No. 3137, was built in 2005 and opened a year ago, McLaughlin said. It serves as an office building and a changing house for employees who work with explosives on the base.
Authorities decided that the building, which faces the Potomac River, should be named after a member of the Navy or the Marine Corps. McLaughlin added that authorities wanted to name the building after someone who was locally known.
"We came up with Cpl. Honeycutt, who paid the ultimate price in the war on terrorism," McLaughlin said. Another factor in the decision was how Honeycutt died. McLaughlin said that the naval base's employees do a lot of work to prevent lives from being lost by improvised explosive devices.
Honeycutt stepped on a roadside bomb in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, and died Oct. 27, 2010. He was 19.
"Who gets a building named after them?" said Terry Honeycutt, T.J.'s father. "It's just an honor."
T.J.'s mother, Christine Honeycutt, said the building's dedication will put a face to her son's name for years to come and that people will know him.
"To have him immortalized like that is comforting," Christine Honeycutt said.
The Honeycutts, who now live in Upper Marlboro, said that their son enlisted in the Marine Corps and left the day he graduated from North Point High School in 2009. The next day, he turned 18. He was in the U.S. Air Force Junior ROTC in high school for four years. Since he was in sixth grade, the Honeycutts said, their son had wanted to be a Marine.
"We weren't crazy about the idea, but we didn't try to talk him out of it because we knew it was his dream," Terry Honeycutt said. He said his son was part of the generation affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that T.J. wanted to "make a difference and do his part as an American."
The Honeycutts said that while their son was in Afghanistan, he called them once, communicated with them on Facebook and wrote letters to his father about the horrible things he witnessed. Terry Honeycutt said that his son did not want his mother to know what was going on. Christine Honeycutt said she learned that the truth of what her son was experiencing was a lot worse than what she had envisioned.
Christine Honeycutt, who retired a few years ago from NSWC Dahlgren, Va., said her son was not a glory-seeking person and that "he would have thought they were making much ado about nothing" with the building dedication.
"He would have been somewhat embarrassed about the whole ordeal," Terry Honeycutt said.
"He was a blessing to have as a son," Christine Honeycutt said.
She added that her daughter, now 25 and a mother of two, was very close to T.J. and misses him every day.
"We miss him terribly, and it's affected our lives forever," Terry Honeycutt said.

The body of a maintenance worker at Point Lookout State Park was found Monday morning at the base of a ladder in the facility's wastewater treatment plant, state authorities report, the day after the Calvert County resident did not return home from work.
No foul play is suspected in the death of Donald Lloyd Gothard, a 56-year-old Lusby resident who was employed by Maryland Environmental Services, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Maryland Natural Resources Police are investigating Gothard's death.
Gothard logged in at the plant on Sunday morning, officials report. When he didn't return home after his shift, his wife called police, who labeled him "critically missing" due to medical issues.
Gothard's body was taken to the state medical examiner's office in Baltimore for an autopsy, according to a natural resources spokesperson. A Maryland Occupational Safety and Health inspector was at the scene Monday morning.

Five named to All-Conference list; Calabrese selected Coach of the Year
Friday, November 05, 2010
MACON, Ga. (Nov. 5, 2010) - After rising to the top of the Atlantic Sun in only the program's third season, the ETSU men's soccer team saw five players selected A-Sun All-Conference announced the league office on Monday. Head coach Scott Calabrese was also honored as he was selected as the A-Sun Coach of the Year.
"I am very pleased that our peers at the A-Sun have recognized so many of our players for their performances this season as this is truly an honor," Calabrese said.
In only his third season at the helm, Calabrese has seen the Bucs receive their first ever regional ranking, first ever top 50 RPI ranking and ten-win season.
"I am grateful to the coaches in the A-Sun for this honor," Calabrese added. "This is a team award to be shared by both the staff and the players in recognition of their commitment and hard work. Ian Luya has been here since the program's inception and has done an amazing job helping us to improve each year. The hard work of David Lilly our graduate assistant, Satoshi Mizuguchi and Howard Gray our sports scientists as well as Andrew Swanson our trainer needs to be recognized as they are critical to our success thus far this season. Most importantly the players have shown the desire required to be successful."
Joining Calabrese in the A-Sun superlatives was freshman Itode Fubara (Ogbema, Nigeria) as he was named the A-Sun Freshman of the Year after notching three goals, three assists and nine points in his first season of play. The talented Nigerian was a key addition to a Buccaneer squad that ranks 47 in the RPI.
"Fubara is a tremendous talent," said Calabrese. "He has quickly adapted to the college game and is a great influence on the team both on and off the field. I am very much looking forward to seeing Fubara develop over the next several years"
ETSU (13-5-0, 7-2-0 A-Sun) also had three players selected to the A-Sun First team including senior Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), junior Aaron Schoenfeld (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Fubara. The selection is the second straight for Reis and Schoenfeld as they were both named to the A-Sun Second Team in 2009.
Schoenfeld leads the team with six goals on the season, while Reis has anchored an ETSU back line that has limited its opponents to the fewest shots in the conference on its way to posting seven shutouts.
"Guilherme has been outstanding at the back for us this season," Calabrese said. "He has great awareness as he reads the game very well and has provided us with leadership on and off the field. I am also very pleased for Aaron. He has been extraordinary this season. He works constantly for the team. His hard work and determination makes him a real threat as he has scored key goals for us this year."
Fubara was also a unanimous selection on the A-Sun All-Freshmen squad. Joining Fubara on the All-Freshmen team are David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Blaike Woodruff (Georgetown, Texas). Geno has posted three goals and a team-best four assists on the year, while Woodruff has played big minutes as both a midfielder and defender netting the game-winner against Mercer on Oct. 2.
"Blaike has a very competitive mentality, and he has played in the midfield and at the back giving us grit and work rate in both positions," Calabrese added. "He has been one of our most consistent players this season. David is also a tremendous talent as he has utilized his speed, strength and quality in the final third to score important goals for us."
The Bucs return to action on Thursday as they will host the winner of the Campbell/Lipscomb quarterfinal match at Summers-Taylor Stadium in the A-Sun semifinals.

How does the financial aid process work?
Most students receive some type of financial aid—money you receive from the federal government, the state or your college. Missing a step in the process can jeopardize your chance of receiving aid, so it pays to understand the process and to make sure you are on track.
Read about maximizing your financial aid
Learn More Indiana provides information on maximizing your financial aid at any age.
Apply to colleges
The first step is to apply to colleges, usually beginning in the fall of your senior year of high school. Learn More Indiana's annual College GO! Week campaign can help you find an Indiana college that's right for you, or you can use the College Navigator to explore colleges in other states.
You can estimate the amount of financial aid you will receive at any Indiana college by using the Indiana College Costs Estimator. This tool assumes that you will file the FAFSA (see below), so don't forget that important step in securing financial aid!
Apply for scholarships
Start applying for scholarships early. Some may have deadlines as early as December of your senior year. If you are already in college, there are still many scholarships for you. Read about your scholarship opportunities.
File your FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or FAFSA) is your ticket to federal, state and institutional (from your college) aid. Anyone who will be in college in the fall, including high school seniors, should file a FAFSA between January 1 and March 10. Read more about filing the FAFSA to make sure you have all the necessary tax forms and paperwork, and find additional financial aid resources, on our Cash for College site. Any corrections to your FAFSA must be submitted by May 15. For example, if your family hasn't filed their taxes by March 10, you may submit the FAFSA with estimated tax information. After your family has filed, you can then correct the information online at FAFSA.gov.
Some colleges may have deadlines earlier than March 10, so be sure to read all the financial aid information carefully. It's important to know which colleges you might attend, because you will have to list them on the FAFSA (although you are able to update your list after you originally submit the FAFSA).
The Student Aid Report
After March 10, the U.S. Department of Education will send your Student Aid Report to each of the colleges you listed on the FAFSA. This report summarizes the information on your FAFSA and gives the amount the government believes your family can contribute to your college education. If you are 23 or older, it will state how much you can contribute yourself.
The financial aid award letter
After reviewing your Student Aid Report, college financial aid offices will determine your eligibility for the different types of aid. Your letter will list all the types and the amounts.
The letter will also list federal loans that you or your parents can accept for your college education. Remember that loans will have to be paid back, unlike grants and other financial aid in the letter. Read more about reducing your college debt.
Accept or reject financial aid
The financial aid award letter will give you instructions for accepting or rejecting the aid offered. You will also have to decide which college you are attending. Usually you must mail the college a formal acceptance. You may choose to accept some aid (such as a state grant for $1,000) but reject other aid (such as a Parent PLUS federal loan). Be sure to follow instructions on rejecting aid, and pay close attention to the difference between grants, scholarships and loans.
Finish faster
Even if you receive a lot of financial aid, attending college can still be a financial burden on you or your family. You can follow Learn More Indiana's advice on finishing faster to save money on school.

Perpignan turned it on in the second half to race to a comprehensive 39-13 Top 14 win over Agen, ending a two-game losing streak in the process.
The hosts looked to be in control during the first half at the Stade Aime Giral after a try from centre David Marty and the boot of James Hook took Perpignan into a 14-0 lead.
But Agen hit back thanks to tries from full-back Raphael Lagarde and centre Miguel Avramovic, to stay in the contest and head into the half-time sheds 14-13 behind.
However, Perpignan shut out Agen in the second half through Hook's boot before wing Farid Sid and scrum-half Florian Cazenave put the result beyond doubt with a try apiece in a five-minute spell.
Hooker Guilhem Guirado sealed the deal after touching down for his side's fourth try in the 76th minute.
The bonus-point win lifts Perpignan to seventh on the Top 14 standings table while Agen suffered their sixth defeat on the trot and occupy 12th spot.

Gareb Shamus Admits Wizard Cons Not Really About Comics Anymore
Wizard World Chicago took place over the weekend -- or as it is now called, "Wizard World Chicago Comic Con." Wizard founder Gareb Shamus recently affixed "Comic Con" to the names of Wizard's shows, presumably to cash in on the name and visibility of larger, more popular events like the massive San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic-Con. It's a business move, but a dist

Earlier this morning, Google introduced a beta version of its new phone application, Google Maps Navigation. As the name suggests, this is nothing more than a turn by turn navigation app, using all the information Google has accumulated over the last years and made available via Google Maps. Nothing really special, except for the fact this is a free application for Google's own Android OS, with versions for other smartphones coming at a later date. The rest of the app details have been covered by Gizmodo in a neat post.
As noted there, Google faces no competition with its newest toy. Similar apps for the iPhone run around $25 per year, while Google is totally free (at least for the time being). Gizmodo is concerned with the severe lack of competition at the same price level, and wrote another piece detailing what's in in for the rest of navigation software makers, who also offer navigation devices that could end up being replaced by the same smartphones Google is offering this app for.
The criticism expressed in the article can easily be applied to any other venue Google is or may be involved in the future. It has been commented several times how most Google products face little to no competition, with most pressure coming from other behemoths like Yahoo or Microsoft, instead of innovative startups like RTM, and one wonders where all that venture capital money went. But I never considered what's in for all the companies making business in fields that Google chose to participate in, and how its lack of a price can seriously damage these companies in little time, possibly putting them out of business. It may be nice to have superb services available for nothing, but man, it obliterates any competition it may have. Not to mention that, while Google main sources of revenue can sustain other ventures for now, in the long term everything could change, and we could end paying for services coming from just one company. Mapping the entire planet is a costly affair.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - J.R. Smith hit two off-balanced jumpers in the final 10.6 seconds, including a baseline 21-footer with a hand in his face as time expired to give the short-handed New York Knicks a 99-97 victory over the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center.
With Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton sitting with injuries, Smith took the big shots in crunch time, his first a fadeaway from the top of the key to tie the game, 97-97, with 10.6 ticks to play.
Tyson Chandler then forced Sebastian Telfair to step out of bounds on the ensuing possession, giving the Knicks the ball back with one second on the clock.
A timeout put the ball along the sideline past midcourt, and Jason Kidd fed Smith as he was falling away from the basket. Despite P.J. Tucker being draped all over him, Smith rose and sent the ball through the hoop just as the clock struck zero.
"He was incredible, but it was a total team effort tonight," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said about Smith. "It came down to one shot with one second on the clock, a big shot."
Smith finished with 27 points, while Jason Kidd added 23 points, eight assists and six rebounds for New York, which was coming off a loss to the Lakers on Christmas Day. Chandler totaled 14 points and 12 rebounds in the victory.
Smith's efforts spoiled Jared Dudley's career-high 36-point effort for the Suns, losers of three straight on the heels of a four-game winning streak.
There were six ties and five lead changes in the fourth quarter. The Knicks went on a 9-0 run to take a 95-90 lead with 3 1/2 minutes to play, but Phoenix answered with the next seven points, going ahead by two on a pair of Dudley free throws prior to Smith's tying bucket.
An up-and-down first frame ended with the Suns leading, 29-27, but Chris Copeland's 10 second-quarter points helped the Knicks build a 55-44 lead at the break.
The margin grew to as big as 14 in the third, but the Suns chipped away and pulled even, 76-76, heading to the fourth.
"I thought we did a good job of fighting back but we've got to do something about the second quarter. We just can't seem to get that right and that's where all of our troubles started," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said.
Anthony sat with a hyperextended left knee, while Felton is dealing with a
sprained finger ... Copeland finished with 14 points ... Marcin Gortat chipped
in 13 points and nine boards for Phoenix, which is still two wins shy of 2,000
all-time in franchise history.

Hi folks,
I've recently had an idea for a web service that I think many people would find very useful. However, due to the nature of the service, I'm not sure I could (or even want to) get away with charging people to use it. On the other hand, I would like to monetize it if possible and I think it may eventually get a lot of traffic. So that leads me to consider putting up ads on the site.
Does anybody here have experience with advertisements as a source of income? I'm not expecting to get rich off of the revenue, or even live off of it, but it would be nice to know I could make an extra $50 a month or so (depending on traffic) just from putting some ads on the site.
Opinions? Insights? Feedback is appreciated.

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman What you see is what you get Point-of-view action cameras provide one of the most involving experiences you can put on a screen. Letting your intended audience see for themselves the thrills and spills of motorcycle racing, or downhill skiing, or wind-surfing, or paragliding... well, you get the idea. It's pretty intense. But there's always been one hitch: where do you mount the camera? Many companies provide a handy spectrum of mounting accessories, but they can take time and a little ingenuity to make secure. Plus, if your goal is to really show the world the angle you see, a helmet camera — on top or on the side of your head — isn't quite the answer. The Pivothead Moab sport sunglasses feature a bridge-mounted point-of-view camera (Moab Iguana model with rose lenses shown).. Versatile features in a wearable design Perhaps it's time for a truly wearable point-of-view camera to come to the head of the class. Pivothead has made it happen with this exciting new hybrid of fashionable sunglasses and high-tech, high-definition camera. High-def video of up to 1080/30p resolution records directly to the 8 gigabytes of on-board memory. Continuous-burst and time-lapse still shooting is a breeze, with a variety of rates and resolutions available. And, with the Air Pivothead Wi-Fi® Drive accessory (not included), you can use apps for Apple® iOS® and Android™ smart devices to monitor and transfer your videos to where they can be preserved or passed on to others. The Pivothead Moab's distinctive angles exude a sporty attitude, while remaining rugged and lightweight. Its sturdy black frames come with two pairs of interchangeable polycarbonate lenses.

Peter Pilotto / Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
Peter Pilotto and his design partner, Christopher De Vos, went on a whistle-stop tour of Hong Kong and Beijing last fall and met the Chinese women who've been buying their clothes. It blew their minds. "It's so impressive to see the strongest pieces of our collection worn by these amazing Asian ladies," said Pilotto. "They have this super-sleek sophistication and beauty. So elegant, yet so forward." The result? Back in London, they've produced the first really sexy dresses and the most strikingly put-together looks of their career: dresses with cut-outs tautly stretched across the shoulders and arms, and figure-hugging skirts with a handkerchief-point flippy hem amped up the glamour-quotient of the silhouette to a surprising new level. It was just a matter of looking again at their signature patterns, the flattering geometry of their "crossing-lines" (as Pilotto calls them) and opening them up to reveal skin. Adding a navy stretch velvet lasered with a subtle surface pattern to contrast with print inserts, they managed to retain all the recognizable characteristics of a Pilotto product while upping the aura of grown-up luxuriousness.
Learning from Asia might also have had something to do with the daywear side of the collection, too. It can be very cold in mainland China (as it is in the Northern United States in the winter), hence the thought process that went into the generously collared printed puffers designed to slip over matched-print pants or dresses. (Never mind Beijing—these will doubtlessly do service around next season's shows in New York and Paris since they fulfill that tall order of functionality and photographable high-fashion to perfection.)
The duo's success here is that they're expanding their boundaries and connecting with new markets without losing who they are. They're part of an evolutionary phenomenon taking place in London this season, that of young designers doing grown-up in a way that isn't frumpy, ironic, or gauche. Perhaps that's because they're so excited by being globally in touch. It's an inspiration and opportunity that has come to no generation before theirs, and it's making all of them—Pilotto included—push forward with a professionalism and optimism that Britain's designers have never shared before this decade.

New England Disabled Sports Hosts Ski & Snowboard Day for Wounded Warriors
LINCOLN, NH (March 20, 2013) – New England Disabled Sports will host a ski and snowboard day for wounded veterans at Loon Mountain Resort on Friday, March 22.
Organized in partnership with Disabled Sports USA, the event gives wounded servicemen and women the chance to ski and snowboard with their comrades and instructors from New England Disabled Sports. All veterans and their families will receive individualized adaptive instruction, adaptive equipment, transportation, lodging, and meals - free of charge. Many of the participating veterans were wounded in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.
"This annual event has become one of the most exciting events of the year in New Hampshire and the experience can often be life changing for these veterans," said Geoff Krill, sports director of New England Disabled Sports.
The event is made possible by a grant from Disabled Sports USA's Warfighter Sports Program, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation, and Raytheon. Volunteers from GE Aviation of Lynn, Mass. will assist during the event.

Daniel Ricciardo pulled off a stunning win in Hungary and he was followed home by Fernando Alonso an Lewis Hamilton.
Red Bull:
Daniel Ricciardo: "Winning this today, it honestly feels as good as the first. It sank in a lot quicker this one, so crossing the line today I knew what was going on a bit more and it's like I could enjoy it immediately rather than it being delayed, it was awesome. To have to pass guys again to win the race, as I did in Canada, makes it a lot more satisfying, knowing that we did have a bit of a fight on our hands - you beauty! In this environment now I feel, I am a different driver and in a way a different person, a different sportsman than I was last year. I've got a lot more belief in myself and it's cool, I definitely feel like I belong here now and I've got confidence; obviously we've converted two races into wins this year so far and I think that confidence is showing. I've got some friends from Australia here this weekend, so the plan was to always have a few drinks tonight, so I think we've got an excuse to now!"
Sebastian Vettel:"It wasn't a great race. I spun, which was my mistake, and before that I was unlucky with the safety car in the first stint. The timing meant the first four cars lost positions to those running behind. Unfortunately we were then in the wrong mode for the restart and I lost two positions. It's good for Daniel that he won today, I'm happy for him."
Fernando Alonso: "This podium means a lot to me and the whole team, because after so many difficult races, we managed to get the most out of everything, also taking a few risks and second place seems like a win. To do 31 laps at the end on used Soft tyres was a great challenge. At that point, the strategy suggested that if we had made a third stop, we could have finished fourth, but we decided to run to the flag instead. This race shows that anything is possible when there are unusual conditions like today, with a wet start and the appearance of the Safety Car. We managed to make the most of all opportunities that presented themselves, taking the best decisions even at the most difficult moments. Sure, the characteristics of the circuit, with its limited overtaking opportunities, helped us and that's why we have to be realistic and continue to work on the car, to improve in all aspects."
Kimi Raikkonen: "Today's race was difficult, but much more fun than the others, as I had a good feeling with the car, the pace was good and I felt I could push. After the way qualifying went yesterday, sixth was the most we could hope for. At the start, I got away well but then I lost vital time behind a Sauber and when I caught Massa's Williams, I couldn't get past: here in general, overtaking is not easy and we lack speed down the straights. Sure, this is a good team result, but we must not get too excited, because even if there are signs of improvement, we still have much work to do in a lot of areas to get to where we want to be. We've had a very complicated start to the season, but I hope the second part of the championship will go better. I have great faith in the team and I feel we are going in the right direction. Even if it's going to take some time, I'm sure the results will come."
Lewis Hamilton: "It is a great result today; I was just pushing as hard as possible to get as high as I could. It was obviously damage limitation after what happened yesterday. I can't express the pain I feel when we have issues such as in the last couple of races; it's hard to swallow and difficult to come back the next day and get the right balance between not attacking too much, but pushing to the limit. The two safety car periods helped quite a lot, but naturally I looked fast and had the pace this weekend, so there was an opportunity for more points. I was in the same race as Nico and if I let him past and he had the opportunity to pull away, then he would have come back and overtaken me. I didn't understand why the team asked me to do that as he didn't get close enough to overtake and I didn't want to lift off and lose ground to Fernando. I would like to say a big congratulations to Daniel and Fernando. It was close at the end and it was getting very hard to keep Nico behind as he was catching at close to 3 seconds a lap. Coming back through shows how great this car and team is, and this result is much more satisfying than an easy win. Going into the break, I'm still in the fight for the championship, which is very satisfying."
Nico Rosberg: "That was a disappointing afternoon. A few things didn't work out for me and it was a very up and down race. In the beginning it was all under control. Unfortunately the safety car cost me the lead, because I just missed the pit entry and then I couldn't pit. I also had some braking issues after the safety car went in and a difficult period of time with handling this, which cost me some positions. Then I was able to push a lot. I had a great last stint and at the end there was one chance to overtake Lewis in the last lap, but it didn't work out. So that is massively disappointing. We need to sit down and analyse internally what went wrong today. I'm still leading the championship, which is a positive thing, and I'll be ready to attack again after the summer break."
Felipe Massa: "It was a very difficult race with a lot happening. We had many fights and it was difficult to stay on the track. We took some risks with the tyres in the pitstops and in the end it was a good result. Now we can look forward to the second part of the season and I'm sure we will score a lot more points than we've scored up until now."
Valtteri Bottas: "After three podiums in a row P8 is not that satisying, but we got some good points as a team. There was more to come today but we were unlucky with the safety car when I went from P2 to out of the top 10. We need to analyse this race then focus on the next one. There are many more good moments for us to come this season, we are getting stronger."

Calissons de Provence: Rich, Smooth Melon-Flavored Marzipan Directly from France
Calissons de Provence 4 4
Delicious, traditional and beautiful These are the most beautiful, delicate treats. Handmade in the South of France for six centuries. The flavor is subtle and absolutely perfect. I purchased a couple of hundred of these for my recent wedding in California, and they were the most wonderful addition to my cake table. Guests couldn't get enough of them! I wish they were still available. I highly recommend them. May 31, 2013
Delicious, subtle flavor I have never had these before nor been to Provence to eat them there - so I don't know how they are supposed to taste. At first I was not sure because I was expecting more of a dry cookie - these are moist. So much so that they stuck to the packaging a bit. But the flavor is delicious. Not too sweet, with lovely flavors combined of almond, citrus and melon. They are very pretty as well. A pricey treat as they are small - 12 count weighs 5 oz. I would buy these again & it would be nice to offer to guests at Easter. This is flavored differently & nowhere near as sweet as a traditional marzipan from Germany - so if you are wanting that you will be disappointed. April 2, 2013
Pretty but not tasty This is not marzipan candy, and not sweet. It is marzipan with some flavoring, but very dry. It is too expensive and dry to use for baking and not very good to eat. December 10, 2012
More Delicious Than You Can Imagine! The initials "O.M.G." come to mind... these are a treat that you will be glad you ordered... Smooth Melon-Flavored Marzipan Directly from France with an impressive 600 year reputation! Treat yourself, and treat your family! If you own a business, and need to give a few gifts to key customers or clients, and don't know what to give them, these will be something that they'll never forget! December 1, 2012

The budget President Obama proposed Monday -- and defended this morning -- will allocate a total of $3.73 trillion into federal programs. That's not an easy number to get your head around. We take a look at just how big $3.73 trillion really is. (Plus: Check out the five questions you should ask about the president's budget.)
Defense, education, energy, and seniors are all beneficiaries in President Obama's budget request. But what else could one do with $3.73 trillion?

The research is very encouraging."
by Dr Jonathan Wright, M.D
At Tahoma Clinic, we've worked with literally thousands of women during and after menopause. We are of course interested in relief or elimination of symptoms of menopause with natural substance. The already-completed research we reviewed about "Warmi" is very encouraging".
A great natural option for women like me."
As a nurse practitioner treating menopausal women, I know what they are going through because I am a menopause survivor myself. Every woman's experience is different, but the struggle can be long and very distressing. Mine has lasted 5 years and it's not over yet. Most of the menopause remedies I've tried either didn't work or had unwated side effects. I decided to try Warmi because the clinical data sounded promising and frankly, I had nothing to lose. After just three weeks on Warmi I've noticed marked improvement with my night sweats. I am sleeping better and starting to feel more like myself again, with improvement in discomfort frequency and less fatigue. Warmi is easy to take and has been free of any side effects. I plan to keep on taking it myself, and have encouraged my patients to try it, too. Warmi is a great natual option for women like myself who want to get their life back.

Sometimes when a girl hasn't had cock in a very, very, very long time, she'll do absolutely anything to get it. When Vanessa Monet showed up at the studio, she was all wild-eyed and jittery like a true cock addict. She saw the bulge in our boy's pants and immediately started licking those juicy, brown lips like a cat in heat. We could tell by the way she was drooling that she was ripe for a throat-fucking. When a girl is this horny, all you have to do is lie back and enjoy the ride. We didn't have to tell Vanessa to gag on it. She did it herself! We didn't have to hold her head down on it and make her take it so deep that the cock was blocking her airway. She was already there! Blowjobs this wet and juicy are why we keep a mop on set.

The Providence Effect
Paul J. Adams III, an African-American man with activist roots in the 1960s civil rights movement, came from a family of teachers. After being black listed himself as a teacher in Alabama because of his civil rights activities, he moved to Chicago, received a master's degree in psychology, and then landed a job as guidance counselor at Providence St. Mel, an all-black parochial school on Chicago's notorious drug-ridden, gang-ruled West Side. "The Providence Effect" is an account of an individual man, the inner city Chicago school he founded, and the student lives that school has changed and saved.

How to Avoid Plagiarism
Guidelines for Avoiding Quotation Errors
Guideline IV...
Is the following statement true or false?
No acknowledgement of an author's words is better than an incorrect or incomplete citation.
The statement is false.
Giving no credit for someone else's words is the most serious error a student can make and is stealing.
Guideline IV: Avoid the most blatant of all forms of plagiarism—failing to acknowledge the author in any way when reproducing his or her words.
Here is an example of the most blatant form of plagiarism:
In 1938, the worst malaria epidemic in the history of the Americas broke out. A hundred thousand people were infected and as many as twenty thousand were thought to have died from it.
Here is an example of a proper citation:
According to an article in The New Yorker (2001), "In 1938, the worst malaria epidemic in the history of the Americas broke out" (Gladwell, p. 45). "A hundred thousand people" were infected and "as many as twenty thousand" were thought to have died from it (p. 45).
This example is correct because the author's exact words are introduced and surrounded by quotation marks, and a citation is provided.
There is no question as to which are the author's words and which are the student's.

The Origami-Inspired Folding Bamboo House
Ming Tang's beautiful origami-inspired Folded Bamboo Houses are intended to be used as temporary shelters in the aftermath of an earthquake. Brilliant in their simplicity, the geometric shelters are constructed from renewable materials and can be folded into a variety of structurally sound shapes. Their elegant design was recently honored as a notable mention in this year's Re:Construct competition sponsored by San Francisco's Urban Re:Vision
Ming Tang came up with the idea for his Folding Houses after a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck central China last May, killing 69,000 people. Upon learning that the Chinese government planned to create up to 1.5 million temporary homes, he decided to design a shelter that was easily produced, cheap and environmentally friendly. His geometric folding houses are beautiful, dynamic, and can adapt to respond to the needs of different situations.
The concept utilizes a system of bamboo poles that are pre-assembled into rigid geometric shapes. The geometry of these forms provides each structure's integrity, allowing a range of lightweight modular structures to be quickly assembled in factories and transported to their destination. Once constructed, the shelters are then covered by using post and pre-consumer recycled paper.

Wonderful designs! I love it and hope one day i could live in the amazing place!
We are a manufacturer of bamboo garments and accessories in Suzhou.If anyone is interested in working with us please feel free to contact with me:-)

I only see CG pictures of the structures. Are there no photos of the actual structures? Have they been tested, or are they only conceptual?

[…] it was inexpensive, lightweight, sustainable, naturally insulated and had structural properties. Origami was the basis for the structure because it gave the cardboard even more structure and could easily […]

in the foreground, one configuration shows the structural members piercing the paper cladding in the roof. Seems like there's some not-so-trivial details yet to be worked out–such as how to keep out the rain.

Really lovely, I wonder how they would actually perform. Computer generated fantasy landscapes help sell the idea. Should be re-drawn showing the mud tracks, refuse heaps, stumps left from firewood collection etc which would actually constitute such a settlement very fast. Anyway, just being a realist I do like the looks of them, and the concept. I wonder how you would weather-proof the paper covers?
October 25, 2008 at 1:07 am
These look interesting but has one actually been built? Its a very different reality to actually build with bamboo than it is to create computer generated imagery on concepts…it is the building process that would prove whether the idea works or not…
October 24, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I can only agree with everyone so far – these look great, and the fact that they will play a role in sheltering people during natural disasters is a tribute to the designers as well.
Thanks for the images, and for the article!

Love the application of Structural Bamboo shown here. Ming Tang\'s Folding Houses are a great and practical expression of what can be done with bamboo.
There\'s a slew of bamboo designs you can see at http://www.bamboocompetition.com/finalists.html
Its a Bamboo Design competition from 2007 that generated a broad range of designs, some 250 designs in 12 building categories submitted from 64 countries.
The contest was sponsored by Bamboo Technologies who is the first to offer prefabricated building code certified hurricane and earthquake proof residential homes, resorts and commercial structures from their factory in Viet Nam, all built from Structural Bamboo.
http://www.bambooliving.com/ shows a variety of standardized and custom designs that are reasonably priced and fast to assemble anywhere in the world.
Go Bamboo!!!
