Artist Spotlight: Jack Balas
Jack Balas is a Chicago-born, Colorado-based painter focusing on metaphoric images of men, cross-referenced at times with photos and writing. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Tucson Museum of Art, the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art in Iowa, and the Kent and Vicki Logan Collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Recent solos include his 2008 project "We'll Be Seeing You" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, and "Tattoo Detour" at L2Kontemporary, Los Angeles, in 2010. Many of the works from the portfolio here are from the ongoing series Muse/Museum, which combines Balas's own images of his models with hand-painted layouts from other artists' ads in art magazines and catalogs, musing about how artists influence each other today and throughout history. The Muse series reenvisions populating the history of art with images of men. Naked women are seen always and everywhere without raising an eyebrow, but the nude male is often still suspect and controversial in the gallery system and museums. More work can be seen at his website, JackBalas.com.

Sleeping Beauty Seminars, Casting, and Reviews
Posted 24 January 2010 - 02:09 PM
Larae Haskell came in to talk about costuming -- there are apparently around 900 separate pieces for this work, which they bought lock, stock and as many fabric scraps as they could find from the English National Ballet. If I remember correctly, they haven't had to replace anything yet, but they did make new costumes for the children in the Garland Waltz, who were added for the PNB production.
(and since there is no post-show discussion for the run, you don't have to factor in staying afterwards...)
Official casting isn't up yet, but unofficially there are five pairs for Aurora/Prince (Nakamura/Postelwaite, Vinson/Orza, Imler/Bold, Korbes/Cruz, Rausch/Orza) They all get two shows, except for Rausch, who gets one and a half (education matinee, I think) Lots of younger dancers have been rehearsing the Bluebird, including Eric Hippolito and Amanda Clark, though not clear who will be performing yet. And Stanko Milov is out for this rep, with an injury.
My favorite piece of SB trivia, though, is that if you rehearse all of the Aurora/Prince scenes back to back, it's about an hour of material. Needs big stamina!
Posted 27 January 2010 - 10:55 AM
Casting is up on the site for Week 1 in the awful drop-down box format (see below):
There is a PNB webcast video with quotes from the three corps couples who are learning the roles: Amanda Clark/Kyle Davis, Liora Reshef/Eric Hipolito, and Margaret Mullin/Jerome Tisserand:
(BTW: When searching for the Bluebird video, I happened up this 2008 news story from local PBS station KCTS about Hipolito.)
The Rausch/Orza partnership doesn't debut the first week, nor do any of the new Florine/Bluebirds, but there is exciting casting all around in both dance and character roles: Wevers and Porretta are Carabosse, Otto Neubert is King, Dec/Lowenburg/McFall are Queen, Uko Gorter returns and shares Catalabutte with Kiyon Gaines, Jordan Pacitti is Gallison, and Ariana Lallone's Countess.
I was trying to copy and paste the cast list into a grid to attach to this post, but for whatever underlying technical reason, it copies by the role and then a list of all the dancer cast for the role (to date). It's not easy to read, but here it is after a few clean-ups:

I'm looking forward to all kinds of things with these casts, but am very curious to see what Porretta does with Carabosse. He's certainly an actor, but I haven't really thought of him in any of the traditional character roles...
Posted 02 February 2010 - 10:48 AM
Posted 03 February 2010 - 03:22 PM
All five women get one Aurora each, Bold does two turns as the Prince, Jordan Pacitti does Carabosse on Saturday afternoon.

PNB's format seems efficient and useful, especially when casts are large. Many -- probably most -- people have schedules that require them to shop for tickets by date, first of all. PNB's site allows you to check casts quickly for the dates that are possible for you. I wish Miami would pick it up.
Posted 03 February 2010 - 11:50 PM
PNB used to format the casts in a grid, so that you could compare casts by role across dates. It was very easy to use.
Helene, I realize this is , but I was intrigued by your criticism of the drop-down-box format for posting casts. Miami persists in following Balanchine by refusing to publish casts in advance, regardless of format. So things COULD be worse in Seattle.

The PNB website looks a lot like the Seattle Opera website. I'm not sure if it was out-of-the-box, customized software, or custom software, but this is one feature that I find difficult to use, since I'm trying to buy multiple tickets based on seeing the most number of dancers in the most number of roles.
When I started going to NYCB -- Balanchine was still alive -- the company was publishing casts lists one week in advance. There was no Internet, so I stood in the little group between the entrance and photos of principal dancers, and jockeyed my way into the middle to read the cast lists each week.
Posted 04 February 2010 - 10:27 AM
The issue I think revolves around whether you get tickets based on date or cast. For those who pick their date first and cast is secondary (likely most folks -- including those who go just once per program), the new format works well (altho not that much better than the old format). But for folks like me who pick cast first and date second (especially for those of us that regularly go to multiple performances of every program), the new format is terrible (but better than nothing as you say bart).
The solution I think is to provide both formats. PNB can leave the new format alone on the "buy tickets" webpage, but they should re-implement the old grid format somewhere on the website (doesn't have to be on the "buy tickets" page) so that aficionados can see all the casts side by side.
[Later edit......not that anyone cares, but I see now that my memory of how the PNB website works was not correct. The casting is not shown on the "buy tickets" page, but on a completely separate page that one must request. So anyone looking for the cast, whether they be a date or a cast person, has to go to this special cast page. Given that structure, perhaps the new drop down list mechanism should be replaced by the old grid display, or somehow include both, or give users a choice.]

Gary Tucker (press rep) reminded me today that this coming Saturday evening the ballet is performing at the same time as the Billy Joel/Elton John show at Key Arena. Since the Sonics left, I've kind of forgotten what it's like when two big events collide in lower Queen Anne -- plan your transportation accordingly...
I know it seems silly to reply to my own posting, but I want to remind people. I was at the dress rehearsal last night, while the Joel/John show was at the Arena -- traffic and parking were awful, and that was just a Wednesday...

Especially since she was holding a riding crop.
I will have other things to say later on, but just wanted to mention that watching Lindsi Dec as the Countess flirt unsuccessfully with Karel Cruz as the Prince at the beginning of act two made me giggle a bit.
Posted 09 February 2010 - 04:42 PM
Seemed to like Kauri's presentation, I saw her as Aurora during PNB's last revival of this, and while the production doesn't stir memories, her portrayal was great. I'll see Imler this time around, on Thursday evening.
Posted 10 February 2010 - 12:55 AM
I saw her last Saturday.......a sight to behold. I'll admit I am prejudice, but Carrie is more perfectly matched to, and best creates the mystic of, Aurora more than anyone else at PNB. Exquiste is the word that comes to mind. I envy your Thursday.
I'll see Imler this time around, on Thursday evening.
Posted 12 February 2010 - 01:00 AM
The principals:
Carrie Imler was an excellent Aurora tonight. She handled the ACT One entrance beautifully. The audience clapped after the first balance, and cheered after the final 4 turns. She returned her hand slowly overhead for each and every one, and relaxed from attitude beautifully. I stifled the urge to yell out like a football fan; "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CARRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Instead, I limited myself to a strong "Brava!" and copious clapping. She did not attempt the Rockette kicks of Alina Semova, but maintained a romantic line throughout. She was light, with articulate feet, and extraordinary control. Ms. Imler has a strong, muscled physical stature that reminds me of photographs of dancers from before the Balanchine era, she is no 80 lbs anorexic nymph. As noted above, security is a great word for Ms Imler's dancing.
Batkhurel Bold was fine in the first and second acts as Prince Florimund. He is a rock solid partner, very tall, able to frame his partner beautifully. He lifts with ease, and he looked comfortable with the pantomime and dancing during The Vision and Awakening scenes (Act two). But during The Wedding (Act three), something changed, I don't know if he was injured during Act two (there are significant lifts), but during his solo, there was no flair or flourish, and it felt phoned in. I saw little - if any - acting of ardour during the finale or even the curtain calls. I cannot say he missed a step, but I felt like the air went out of his performance. In 10+ years at PNB, Mr Bold has always thrived in the modern ballets and he has never done well with the acting / ardour required for "cavalier" roles. Nevertheless he always impressed us with huge jumps, turns, etc. Something was very wrong tonight. I assume an injury. PNB has one other principal, Stanko Milov, who is the reverse side of Mr. Bold's coin, also strong and tall. Trained in the classic Vaganova style, he has flair to spare for the 'cavalier' roles, and it took a few years for him to tone that down for the modern roles. Unfortunately he is currently out with an injury.
The Soloists:
Lilac Fairy was Carla Körbes was lovely as Lilac Fairy, she is so smooth that it is easy to take her performance for granted. The other fairies were fine, though I couldn't tell you which one was purity, joy, wit, generosity, beauty etc. We were joking about additional fairy names at intermission. How about the fairy of truthiness? Blue Bird was Kyle Davis, who outdanced his partner, Amanda Clark. Gold / Silver pas de Trois was led by Lindsi Dec - but Andrew Bartee and Lucien Postlewaite didn't seem to be quite in sync.
Character Roles:
Former PNB dancer Uko Gorter was Catalabutte (I'm old enough to remember him dancing Cavalier in The Nutcracker when I was a kid, damn that means I'm getting old). Carabosse was PNB principal Olivier Wevers. He was great at pantomime, and the kids loudly booed him at curtain call. All the kids loved puss n boots.
Musical Direction:
Emil de Cou guest conducted the excellent PNB orchestra. I understand they are trying out conductors during this run. The strings during the The Vision were particularly beautiful, and deserved a separate ovation, Bravo!
Overall Production:
I agree with the NYT review, 3 intermissions were too many. Better to play music through 2 short set changes (I understand PNB does not use all the available music for The Sleeping Beauty). I don't remember this from the prior run, but this time the excessive use of lame in the costumes really bothered me. Otherwise the production was very close to the time period, but the shiny gold lamé on costumes was off putting and dare I say it - cheap looking. Especially on the Bluebird's back. The only big flubs were credited to the stage hands. They flubbed a few spotlights (it was very obvious) and during the finale, there was a dramatic shudder of the screen at the back of the stage. Plenty of kids in attendance (even a few babies) but everyone was silently attentive during Aurora's entrance in Act I and The Vision. I enjoyed Mr. Hind's choreography and was well satisfied with the results.
You Know You're in Seattle when...
...the guy behind you takes his shoes off during Act Two and has no qualms about the pungent smell of his feet. I was only surprised he didn't wear cargo shorts that night (trust me, this happens often in Seattle during the dead of winter). Clearly the girlfriend dragged him there, and he kept saying "this ballet was only meant for 13 year old girls". Then don't come! Clearly you only came in hopes of getting laid afterwards. Next time, stay home with the Xbox, and tell your girlfriend to bring one of her best friends - preferably someone knowledgable of theatre etiquette.

Today (Friday) they're doing a school matinee at 11:30 -- a cut down version of the work that lasts about an hour. I thought it was closed except for groups, but I've been told I can get a ticket at the box office (no online) for $3.50. Will report back if I get there...

I bought one from Woot right before Christmas. We really like it, It's a little noisy during the grind, but that makes a great alarm clock if you set it for auto-time. :)
118 up votes, 14 down votes and two unhelpful comments for a $145 coffee maker. Think I'll hang on to my $20 Proctor Silex.
Great looks and easy to use. Bought this for Christmas gift and the old coffee maker has been retired. Only downfall is the pot is difficult to pour out the last bit. No more paper filters or measuring out scoops of coffee. Good match if you have stainless applainces..
$279 new at Amazon. Reviews are mixed: 3.7 stars on 179 reviews. Mainly complaints that it is loud, and some disagreement about the quality of the coffee.
This isn't a comment about this machine, but about burr grinding: it makes a noticeable difference in the flavor of your coffee. It's worth the switch if you haven't used anything other than a blade grinder up till now.

The colors of the fairing are anthracite or black, the same colors as the original BMW side covers.
Included in the kit: fairing, windscreen, windscreen adjustment, complete mounting material and assembly instructions.
Adjustable height & angle windscreen - the screen can be adjusted to provide great wind and weather protection at higher speeds and slide down to reduce clearance off road or during very hot weather. This sliding feature also allows for ducting of air between the fairing and screen that in turn increases laminar air flow and reduces buffeting on the driver. All this protection plus great looks yet still very usable in off-road riding! Distance from the top of the windscreen to the lower fairing tip just above headlight can be varied between 15-17 inches.
Compatible with TT HID and fog lights and Touratech LED turn signals (as seen in picture).

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Members of the community filled the Courtyard by Marriott Convention Center Monday, January 21 at the annual community Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.
This year's theme was "Still Marching." It was the 28th year for the annual celebration which spanned two days.
"We have that theme because we believe that marching is something inclusive that everybody's a part of, no matter what avocation you have in life, whatever it is that you're doing in life you're always marching toward more progress," said Larry Hicks, member of the MLK Jr. Committee.
Dr. Mildred Edwards, Executive Director of the Kansas African-American Affairs Commission, was the guest speaker at the event. She said each of us should be actively working to achieve Dr. King's dream- equality and universal freedoms for all.
"He gave his life defending and protecting the civil and human rights of all people," she said.
The crowd was treated to a performance by the Geary County Children"s Choir ad the Wiley College "A Cappella Choir" from Marshall, Texas.
The choir is known for its recorded excerpts of music used in the soundtrack of "The Great Debaters," the 2008 film directed by and starring highly acclaimed actor Denzel Washington. The film traces the inspiring true story of the Wiley University debate team's victorious national debate championship over Harvard University in the mid-1930's.
In addition, recognition was be given to community and civic organizations for their dedicated service to the community.
"The whole objective is to bring the community together. This is not something that is designated for the black community or the white community. It's designated for all Americans to be a part of living the dream as a whole because democracy in and of itself is about all Americans," Hicks told WIBW.

A Kentucky man has pleaded guilty to lesser charges after a jail failed to send a batch of seized drugs to a crime lab for testing.
The State Journal reports that suspected marijuana and cocaine seized from 28-year-old Keena Turner never made it to the crime lab from the Franklin County Regional Jail in Frankfort.
Turner pleaded guilty on Friday to unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Turner was originally charged with promoting contraband and being a persistent felony offender.
According to the plea agreement, the charges were amended because, "the controlled substances were never sent to the crime laboratory for analysis, despite reminders from the commonwealth to do so."
Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd sentenced Turner to 12 months in jail.

The last Superman game I enjoyed was The Death and Return of Superman on the SNES and it was just a side-scrolling beat-em-up. It was pretty much Batman Returns, but, ya know, with Supes. We've already witnessed what they can do with Bats, but what about The Man of Steel? Is there even anything that would work?
Obviously, Superman needs an open world/sandbox to live in, but the problem here is that Superman is good; there is no morality system or playing through it as a 'bad' Superman or something. So you would have a nice sandbox, but you can't even play around in it. You couldn't just go pick up a school bus and chuck it into the sun because Superman doesn't do that. This is where it all gets tricky and I start to question whether or not Superman can even work in the video game world.
How do you give the player total freedom, while simultaneously limiting it?

I only started looking into the Ruby language two days ago and have quickly learned that I am far too constrained into the mindset of C derived languages... I am trying to do the comparison on strings as such:
def menu_listen
action = gets
while !(action.eql?("up")) && !(action.eql?("down")) && !(action.eql?("close")) do
puts "'#{action}' is not a valid command at this time."
action = gets
return action
...which was earlier written as such:
def main_listen
action = gets
while action != "up" && action != "down" && action != "close" do
puts "'#{action}' is not a valid command at this time."
action = gets
return action
I read on this site that thisString.eql?(thatString) is the same as thisString == thatString, it would seem so because neither work. Any input I type into the command prompt does not get past the while loop and gives me this in response:
' is not a valid command at this time.
So does this mean that the press of the enter key is also stored as a new line on the command prompt input? Can anyone tell me how to implement this so that the string comparison works properly?

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -Officials at KDOT say the current crash rate along the existing K-4 route between US-24 and NE 54th street is double the statewide average.
They don't want to make a complete overhaul, but are instead choosing for a conservative approach. Northeast Kansas is using the K4/Oakland Expressway as an interim extension improvement plan.
Public Affairs Manager of NE Kansas KDOT, Kimberly Qualls says, "What we're looking to do is invest in projects by not doing a full build out but instead look at short term improvements, and we can help with traffic demands that we have."
One of the main improvemtns is an interchange at 46th St. and US-75, where Kimberly says, "It provides another alternative to US-24 or all the way south to I-70 and we're looking at a double roundabout for that.
KDOT says they will use the open house to create an expressway that the people are satisfied with. "We like it that way thats how we get input and let us know what their thoughts are. These are users of our highways and we want to know what they're thinking and how they utilize it," said Kimberly.
After reviewing the public's input, KDOT staff will measure the level of interest and include the plan in their regional local consultation project reviews this fall.

I've only had the opportunity to use them twice on short one and two night overnight outings. They are roomy, well made, and rugged. The pouch on the back is handy for carrying extra water bottles. They are easy to pack and unpack. The mounting system is super easy to adjust and the mounting couldn't be easier.

Training Errors. These are the most common source of injury. Here are some common errors that many of us commit:
Running Shoes. Comfort is key. Consideration of wide toe boxes to accommodate your individual anatomy.
Ideal Running Surface. Should be flat, resilient and relatively soft.

Montreal, February 23, 2009
For immediate release
Part of the Montreal Zen Poetry Festival
Join poet/artists Stephen Addiss and Shin Yu Pai in an intimate literary brunch as they explore the connections between the visual arts and poetry, in their own work and in Zen traditions. The brunch will take place at SoupeSoup Old Montreal, the latest addition to the trio of restaurants known for their wholesome and delicious food and cosy atmosphere.
Stephen Addiss, a renowned calligrapher and poet/scholar/artist will look at the interdependence of word and image as expressed in the tradition of haiga, "a combination of arts that I find fascinating… where a haiku and a visual image can combine to reach a deeper expression than either one might alone."
Shin Yu Pai, poet, translator and visual artist, will look at her work in terms of its visual/textural languages: "My work is concerned with the contemplation of the spirit and inherent nature of the aesthetic object-both the poem as object or experience, and the subject matter of my poems, which very naturally gravitate towards the concrete, physical world, articularly the visual arts."
The event starts at 11 a.m., Sunday, March 08, with a simple but satisfying brunch, followed by the presentations. Total cost for the event is $20 full or $15 concession. Reservations are required. SoupeSoup Old Montreal is located at 649 Wellington Street, two blocks west of McGill Street. For more information go to: www.montrealzenpoetryfestival.ca
Stephen Addiss is a world-renowned calligrapher and a leading authority on Japanese art, as well as a musician, poet, translator and painter. He has published 36 books and exhibition catalogs, including Old Taoist: The Life, Art and Poetry of Kodojin (2001), 77 Dances: Japanese Calligraphy by Poets, Monks, and Scholars 1568-1868 (2006) and Haiga: Takebe Socho & the Haiku-Painting Tradition (1991). He holds degrees from Harvard University and the University of Michigan, and taught for 15 years at the University of Kansas before joining the faculty at the University of Richmond in Virginia as Professor of Art and Tucker-Boatwright Professor in the Humanities. He is the recipient of four grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and one from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Shin Yu Pai, born in 1975, is a second-generation Taiwanese-American poet and photographer. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, with additional graduate studies at the Naropa Institute. She is the author of Haiku Not Bombs (Booklyn Artists Alliance), Works on Paper (Convivio Bookworks), Sightings: Selected Works [2000-2005] (1913 Press), The Love Hotel Poems (Press Lorentz), Unnecessary Roughness (xPress(ed)), Equivalence (La Alameda), and Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers (Third Ear Books). Her work is anthologized in America Zen: A Gathering of Poets (Bottom Dog Press) and The Wisdom Anthology of North American Buddhist Poetry (Wisdom Publications). In addition to her work as a poet, Shin Yu has exhibited her visual work at the Paterson Museum, the Dallas Museum of Art, the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, and the Three Arts Club of Chicago. Currently, Shin Yu Pai lives with her husband in Seattle where she is pursuing graduate work in Sociocultural Anthropology and Museology at the University of Washington.

Measure of U.S. home prices rises by most in 6 years
|In this Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, file photo, a "sold" sign sits out in front of a home currently under construction at the Winthrop subdivision in Riverview, Fla. The U.S. economy is looking more resilient than many had thought, thanks in part to rising auto sales and another year-over-year surge in home prices on Tuesday. AP Photo/Chris O'Meara
WASHINGTON -- A measure of U.S. home prices jumped 4.6 percent in August compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year increase in more than six years. Connecticut, however, saw prices fall slightly over the same period.
CoreLogic, a private real estate data provider, also said Tuesday that prices rose 0.3 percent in August from July, the sixth straight monthly gain.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- SUNY Geneseo's Department of Theatre and Dance will present an evening of diverse, dynamic original works when the Geneseo Dance Ensemble performs "46Live: Songs of the Body" Dec. 5 - 8 in the Alice Austin Theatre. The concert will feature works choreographed by students of the Dance Studies Program and performed by the Dance Composition class. Thursday through Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee begins at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $10.00 and available at the Student Association Ticket Office or online.
The concert is artistically directed and produced by Professor of Dance Jonette Lancos and will feature performances by senior Erin Girard, who will perform "Out of Many, One," which explores our human feeling of separateness and the search for direction and truth, inspired by the yogi principle of Namaste and the universal energy that connects us all. "Talking in My Sleep," choreographed by junior Michelle Graham, is a modern, dynamic dance, exploring the duality of the inner self, and how the self interacts with society.
Other performances include "Filtering Light," by senior Megan Killea, is a ballet inspired by her mother's cataract surgery and the new clarity in her sight, specifically with light. "Hindsight," choreographed by senior Jennifer Levy, examines the balance between the past and present self and the endless possibilities of the future. Senior Ashley Palacios has created the dance "She Is..." encompassing the various qualities that women possess making them inspiring individuals.
"Kwaherini," choreographed by senior Emily Wagner, interprets a "goodbye" that celebrates life and love through joyful dancing. "Heartstrings," a contemporary ballet work choreographed by senior Stephanie Willmarth, is a bright, delicate piece that portrays the mutually strong emotional connection between two loved ones.
The dance composition class -- Lisa Cordara, Keriann Dengos, Justine Lazatin, Lindsay Rathbun, Megan Roberts, and Adam Sousa -- will perform final projects using the elements and principles of design as recognized in paintings by Vincent van Gogh (Starry Night, 1889), Georgia O'Keeffe (Deer Horns, 1938), Wassily Kandinsky (Several Circles, 1926), and Leonide Afremov (Misty Mood, 1962).
Joining Lancos in directing the production is Mark Broomfield, assistant professor of dance and recipient of the statewide 2013 SUNY faculty diversity appointment, along with two student assistants: seniors Emily Wagner and Stephanie Willmarth. Students Christopher Quigley and Ryan Richards will stage manage the show. Student lighting designers are Kelsey Bendlin and Rachel Prell, mentored by theatre department faculty and technical director Johnnie Ferrell as well as faculty member Steven Stubblefield. Theatre faculty member Crystal Ferrell has designed and coordinated costumes.
"46Live: Songs of the Body" is supported through generations donors to the Dance Studies Program through The Geneseo Foundation.

FAQs about Birmingham, past and present
The Archives, Heritage and Photography Service in the Library of Birmingham has a wide range of resources; information about Birmingham present and past, Birmingham newspapers, maps, photos, local guides, and history.
Listed below are some of the questions we have received, in case the answers will help you with your research. There are also some weblinks to sites which may be useful to you.
Electoral registers
Can I check the electoral register to find out where my uncle is living now? In 1978 he was living on the Walsall Road, but I cant remember the number.
We only have the electoral registers for the area inside the Birmingham city boundary, so it would depend whereabouts on the Walsall Road your uncle lived. The electoral register only lists those who are entitled to vote, and who have registered. There is no name index; it is indexed by address (street). You can come to look through electoral registers up to 2001 at any time the library is open.
Current Electoral Registers
Current Electoral Registers for Birmingham, from March 2001, are only available at the Elections Office in Great Charles Street, Tel: (0121) 303 2731.
The Archives and Heritage Service holds the historical electoral registers for Birmingham, 1838 - February 2001.For more information, go to Electoral Registers.
Birmingham - local information and history
I am doing a project about Birmingham. Could you please send me some information?
In the Archives and Heritage Service, you will find a lot of information about different parts of Birmingham. There are books about the local history, photo books from which you could copy illustrations, photos, maps, trade directories which tell you who was living on a certain street, local newspapers, and other relevant material.
Here are some other web sites on which you will find information about Birmingham.
Commercial site giving information about different areas of the city
Historic Birmingham
Digital Handsworth
Digital Ladywood
Revolutionary Players
Property ownership
I would like to find out who owns a property. How can I do this?
To find out who owns a certain property you will need to contact the Land Registry. For Birmingham, contact the Coventry branch; Tel: 024 7686 0860. There is a charge for a copy from the register, to show you who owns the property; and for a copy of the Title Plan. If there is more than one Title for the property, there is a charge for each Title. For full details you can check the website HM Land Registry
Local newspapers
Which local newspapers do you have? Could I buy a copy of an old newspaper for a present?
Most of our old newspapers are Birmingham publications, there are a few older titles for Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire. The principal ones are Aris's (Birmingham ) Gazette 1741 - 1956, The Birmingham Post 1857 onwards, The Birmingham Mail 1870 onwards, the Sports Argus, and the Sunday Mercury.
You can view these on microfilm at any time the library is open.
An index to local newspapers from January 1998 is available on computers in all Birmingham libraries and on other computers if you have a library card. There is no index to earlier newspapers, but there are cuttings in the Archives and Heritage Service for certain topics, arranged by date, which may help with your search. These include biographical newscuttings. If an event was important enough to be reported nationally, you can search the Times Digital Archive.
We do not hold copies of newspapers for sale. There are commercial organisations which sell old copies of national newspapers, for example Past Times.
Birmingham historical newspapers
Do you have any films of old Birmingham? Can I borrow them, or obtain a copy?
There are videos and DVDs in the Archives and Heritage Service on a wide range of subjects of local interest. Some have been commercially produced, such as the videos on the River Rea, and the River Cole. Some are amateur videos, for example films of Birmingham in the 1930s. Some are from television companies - programmes or news items about an aspect of Birmingham life. These are for viewing in the library only. They are all in copyright, so cannot be copied. There are videos to rent in the Music Library on the Lower Ground Floor.
The history of a house
How can I find out more about my house in the past, and who lived there?
There is a wide range of resources in the Archives and Heritage Service which could help with this. Large-scale old maps will give an idea of when the road itself was first built, and when houses began to appear. Electoral registers may help, though voting rights were quite restricted in the past (see FAQs - Family History ). Trade directories are the most useful as from around 1850 onwards some of them include Street indexes. In these streets are listed in alphabetical order, and there are entries for many of the houses and businesses along the road.
The Archives and Heritage Service hold plans for some of Birmingham's buildings and historical sales details for a few houses.
Local maps
Can I get a copy of a map showing the road where I live, in Moseley, for the 1930s and the 1970s?
There are many local and historical maps in the Archives and Heritage Service. The most useful to you for this enquiry will probably be the 1:2,500 Ordnance Survey map of Moseley, 4th edition for the late 1930s. For the 1970s you would need to check the index to the 1:1250 maps, and ask for a superseded version.
Ordnance Survey copyright lasts for 50 years, so you can copy as much as you want of a 1930s map. The 1970s map is still in copyright, so you will need to ask staff at the counter if you can have a copy; this will depend on what the copy is to be used for. You will only be allowed to have an A4 section copied.
An old Birmingham business
I have inherited a silver cup. It has on it: Elkington's, Birmingham. Could I find out any more about this firm?
The trade directories are a good starting-point for finding out when a firm traded, what it manufactured, and where it was based at different times. There is usually a commercial index, which lists traders alphabetically; and a section which lists them according to trade, as in Yellow Pages.

Why weren't Mortimer and Monte in today's email?
I like reading their banter, but today they were surprisingly missing from my email? Where were they?
13 Answers answer
They must have stayed out a little late last night after the Monkey Games.
Hopefully their absence is not a "new change" that is coming along with everything else around here.
This has happened before. It's a mistake. Things get left out of emails sometimes. Everybody remain calm and remember to breathe. I assure you they will be back tomorrow.
Sometimes they want days off!
Today is national monkey cheesecake day.
Don't go ape sh**, they are just monkeyin around....... :)
Aren't you glad I didn't say Banana?
I heard Mortimer hurt his arm in the Woot Games and Monte took him home early.
I think they left since there are so many subsidiary Woots now. There's no more room for monkeys at the bottom of those emails!
@sportster25: But how will we launch monkey.woot if they run away?
I need to go stare at a kitten cam or something. This distresses me.
They went to visit some relatives at the zoo.
They're too busy singing to put anybody down, I guess.
Mortimer and Monte are conspiring to take over Woot. What with the absence of @snapster they see a power vacuum at Woot and are working to move in. Since everybody else busy with the monkey games this is the perfect time. By the time anybody else knows what is going on they will have seized control of the telephones, servers, and put up the barricades. Viva la revolution!

I'm just beginning to learn Objective-C, and am finding that a background in C (which I don't have) is a useful starting point. I've dabbled in C++ so have some understanding of basic C++ paradigms and syntax. (FWIW, I have extensive experience in Java and higher-level languages like JavaScript and ActionScript.)
I'm interested in exploring iOS development, but a bit wary of focusing in on a language useful only on a single vendor's platform. I'd like to know more about how concepts I will learn as I proceed with Objective-C will transfer (or not) to knowledge of C and C++.
I'm interested mainly in core language concepts, but information on portability, frameworks, targetable platforms, etc. is welcome as well.

Cancer screening tests are designed to find cancer or pre-cancerous areas before there are any symptoms and, generally, when treatments are most successful. Various organizations have developed guidelines for cancer screening for women. While these guidelines vary slightly between different organizations, they cover the same basic screening tests for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers. Learn more about screening tests. In addition, during routine health exams (at any age) your healthcare provider may also evaluate for cancers of the skin, mouth, thyroid and ovaries. Not all screening tests are right for everyone and your personal and family health history can affect which tests are right for you and at what age you begin them, so be sure to discuss this with your healthcare provider.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends these screening guidelines for women over the age of 50:
The ACS recommends that some women - because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors - be screened with MRI in addition to mammograms. The number of women who fall into this category is small- less than 2% of all US women. Talk with your doctor about your personal history and whether you should have additional tests at an earlier age. For more information, see the ACS document, Breast Cancer: Early Detection.
Some women, because of their history, may need to have a different screening schedule for cervical cancer. Please see the ACS document Cervical Cancer: Prevention and Early Detection for more information.
The ACS recommends that at the time of menopause, all women should be informed about the risks and symptoms of endometrial cancer. Women should report any unexpected bleeding or spotting to their doctors. Some women, because of their history, may need to consider having a yearly endometrial biopsy. Please talk with your doctor about your history.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed today and is one of the easiest to prevent or detect early. Remember that people of all skin tones can, and do, get skin cancer. Start by practicing sun safety, including using a broad spectrum sunscreen (protects against UVA & UVB rays) every day, avoiding peak sun times (10am-4pm, when the rays are strongest) and wearing protective clothing such as hats, sunglasses and long sleeved shirts.
Examine your skin regularly so you become familiar with any moles or birthmarks. If a mole has changed in any way, including a change in size, shape, or color, has developed scaliness, bleeding, or oozing, or has become itchy or painful, or you develop a sore that will not heal, you should have a healthcare provider examine the area. If you have many moles, it may be helpful to make note of moles using pictures or a mole map. SkinCancerNet has a helpful guide to performing a skin exam.
Learn more about the types of skin cancer on OncoLink and the American Academy of Dermatology's SkinCancerNet and the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Most men and women, over the age of 50 should undergo routine screening for colon and rectal cancer. Testing may be appropriate for younger people with a high risk personal or family health history.
Options for screening for colon cancer can be divided into those that screen for both cancer and polyps and those that screen just for cancer. Tests that screen for cancer and polyps include flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema or CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy). Tests that screen mainly for cancer include stool testing for blood or stool DNA testing. Learn more about the CRC screening options.
The "preferred screening" of the American College of Gastroenterologists is colonoscopy every 10 years for people with average colon cancer risk. The ACS recommends that average risk individuals begin screening at age 50 with one of the following:
(If any of these other tests are positive, a colonoscopy should be done.)
Individuals at higher risk of colon cancer should have screening earlier and potentially more frequently. Individuals at higher risk of colon and rectal cancer include:
For more detailed information regarding screening for colon cancer, see the ACS site describing guidelines for screening for high-risk individuals and the American College of Gastroenterology document on screening guidelines for high-risk populations.

The weeks and months following the birth of a child can be hectic, filled with many questions and preparations for the child's future. One question many parents may not think of is, "At what age should I start a college savings plan?" Though it may seem early to begin thinking of college, financial advisors say parents should begin thinking about starting a plan as soon as possible — even as early as when pregnancy is confirmed. Peter Holloway, senior vice president at Hazlett, Burt and Watson in Wheeling, said starting a college savings plan early allows for several years of interest to compound and allow for the account to actually make money instead of simply being a holding tank. "If done right, it can be extraordinary," he said. Holloway said the best plan available for college savings is a 529 plan, which allows for the money put into the account to appreciate without tax ramifications. By putting a minimum of $25 per month into the plan, the individual receives many breaks, including the opportunity to have the amount deducted from state taxes and the ability to withdraw it tax free when the time comes. The money placed in a 529 account can only be withdrawn for approved college expenses, which includes room and board, tuition and other expenses. Holloway said the advantage of the plan is that even if the account is started with a particular child in mind, the owner of the account can use it for educational needs as he or she sees fit. "If you have three children and one gets a scholarship, that money can be directed to other siblings," he said. "If the owner of the account wants to return to school, they can use the money themselves." Holloway said the plan also is a great option for grandparents or other close family and friends who want to contribute to a child's future. Instead of large sums of cash given as gifts for birthdays and holidays, Holloway said many are now choosing to make contributions to these accounts. "The major benefit is that once a child reaches that college age, there is a nice chunk of change waiting," he said. "The key is starting early."

The main alternative would be to stay in hostels, bed&breakfast accomodations or hotels. It's much more comfortable, but also more expensive and requires some planning, at least if you're going through sparsely populated areas.
Some countries (especially in Europe) have designated long-distance bike trails, and along them you'll typically find so many accomodations that you can be quite spontaneous about where exactly you stop for the night.
Having a bike and a tent, ring at some house, explain that you're traveling by bicycle and ask if you can put your tent in their garden.

I forgot the source.
I've heard that he was not. Latter I've heard that he would have joined the fray if not because of political consideration.
I forgot the source.
All of Western European culture, world-wide, was anti-Semitic at that time. Germany itself was extremely anti-Semitic, even more so than Europe as a whole. I do not hesitate to state that even that handful of Germans who risked their lives to save Jewish friends, would have to be regarded as anti-Semitic in regard to Jews who were not personally well-known to them.
However, what the Nazis' engaged in went far beyond every-day anti-Semitism. So far past everyday anti-Semitism that it gave anti-Semitism itself a bad name, so that it became unfashionable for the first time in over a millennium. Permanently unfashionable.
The movie A Gentlemen's Agreement could not have been made in 1937. Jewish refugee ships were still being refused entry to Montreal and New York and even Haifa. But by 1947, with the horrors of the Holocaust really starting to sink in, it almost had to be made.
So in this context, I think it is necessary to say "Of course Rommel was anti-Semitic - all of Germany was. All of North America was." However, there is a world of difference between run-of-the-mill anti-Semitism and support of the Holocaust.
However in a world and time where even Churchill and FDR were more likely to rate 100 or so than 0, it is almost impossible to believe that Rommel was a 0. Being a tiny bit anti-Semitic; a little too complacent in the anti-Semitism of one's colleagues; a little too eager to laugh at a Jewish joke if only to hide one's own Italian, or Irish, or Spanish, or Polish, or Dutch, or Balkan, or Catholic, or Baptist, or Orthodox, or other heritage; was just too easy. It was very difficult, and conspicuous, to rate a 0 in those times; and for an ambitious general in Nazi Germany looking to make his reputation in a world war, not being just a tiny bit anti-Semitic, passively, almost seems too much to ask.
In this context, I find the question almost unfair. It really should not attempt to look into the deepest recesses of Rommel's heart to judge the presence or absence of anti-Semitism. It should rather confine itself to solid evidence on his actions in regards to Jews, and judge him on this basis alone: To what extent was he willing to stand up and obstruct the Nazi extermination of the Jews, at risk to life, limb, prosperity and family.
I am not sure what you mean by "joined the fray", but it does appear that Rommel did not share Hitler's antisemitism despite being relatively close to him throughout the 1930-ies. Rommel admired Hitler for his success in dismantling the Versailles regime, but ...
EDIT: as so well expounded in the other answer, the non-antisemitism of Rommel was relative, i.e., compared to the rest of Germany he appeared to be gentleman - while serving the Nazi regime.
In the absolute terms one can say with confidence that due to Rommel's actions (his successes on the battlefield) the war lasted longer and many more innocents (Jews, Gypsies, Russians, Poles &c) were murdered. It does appear that these deaths were not to his liking, but they did happen.

I installed Crunchbang Linux. I successfully installed the ATI drivers, and all works well. Except that the colors are bit weird. Hard to say what exactly is wrong, it is the notion that on another laptop (or windows on the same laptop) everything looks better. It's probably some combination of brightness/contrast/gamma settings.
Is there any comfortable way to adjust the display settings under Crunchbang, or Linux in general? Some nice calibration tool? I don't need a photography-quality display.
I used
aticonfig to djust brigtness and contrast, and
xgamma for gamma. but they are not very handy.

Okay, with the exception of StarCraft I, every game I've installed with with Wine will not run (I've tried C&C 3, Worms Armageddon, and Rome Total War). All the games install fine, but when I try to run them (from the winefile), the screen flickers a bit (like it's trying to close out winefile) and then stops. And when I exit out of the winefile it looks like it has reverted my version of Ubuntu back to 10.08 (I think, the one I currently have is 11.04).
This is driving my crazy, as I cannot get any game (with the exception of StarCraft, and even then, the sound doesn't work) to work. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Wow! I just received your email newsletter and came to the forum to find I had won a $50.00 award! Thanks. I recently bought the NN5L and must say... the craftsmanship is top notch. Due to my workplace blowing up over the last 3 weeks I have not used it yet. :'( :blushing:
Is there anything I need to do to redeem the gift?
Thanks guys...
Woow ..... those prices giveaway is great, but the 25$ for each member of the forum is unbelievable !!
Wow -
Just back from 2 weeks in indonesia, to a phone call from Bill Bailey telling me i had won a NN5 package !!!
It arrived today, its beautiful - very stable, light, solid, i was using a NN3 w/ my D300+10.5mm, this is a much better fit...
Bill, many thanks for that call
Nick, thanks for the great products
what can i say ?
thanks again !

At last I won something. Many thanks for my $50 gift certificate! Hope I will buy Nodal Ninja this year.
I have just come from my summer holidays, thinking in how to retouch (and sell) hundred of pictures, read email and receive a fantastic NN3 price!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot to all NodalNinja team!!
As soon as I'll receive the package I'll send you my first "real" pano photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won: TWENTY $50 gift certificates towards the purchase of Fanotec products.
Value = $50 + Free Standard Shipping on one order..
Now I ordered and received the upgrade rotator for my NN3 MKI. Great!!!
Thank you very much !
I've been investigating pano heads for awhile and I am going to be buying a Nodal Ninja. I just can't decide on which one to buy... NN3 or NN5...hmm. Tough choice. It would be nice to win a prize towards this purchase but, this won't stop me from getting mine. I've been using a DIY head that results in parallax error. I'm looking forward to creating my panos with less editing.
Welcome to the forum. This contest was last year and is unfortunately over but we'll hold smaller giveaways from time to time ;-)
Let us know what equipment you are using and what type of panoramas you like to take and we can help you decide what head will work best for you.
Thanks Bill.
I'm shooting with a Canon Xti with a Canon 17mm-40mm L lens. I have been looking at the NN3 with thoughts of trading up to a NN5 later. I am mostly shooting 360 panos on my Manfrotto tripod but I also want a new head to shoot hi-res landscapes to add to my fine art photography. I ultimately want to be able to create a spherical or cubeface pano and run that through krpano or Pano2VR for the commercial 360 work I do. Most of the work I have done up till now has been straight cylindrical panos. I'm not sure how many rows I will have to shoot with my setup to get the 360 x 180 coverage. Ultimately, I will be able to get a Sigma 8mm lens. I also figure I need a real pano head to get a better nadir shot, etc... Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Every year, the September 23rd is supposed to be the Saudi National day which has been locally celebrated for the past years where they weren't before.
I am not sure how long ago they've regulated that day to be an official holiday, which is such an interesting day to celebrate regardless of the relevant matters.
However, this year the national day will be on Tuesday September 23, 2008 and keep in mind that the weekend in Saudi is on Thursdays and Fridays.
Government workers will gladly have about two weeks as a holiday which I personally think that is a lot to be given away especially when you know such a long holiday could interrupts lots of business but who cares anyway!!!
Interestingly, The company that I work for is not and will not be celebrating the national day claiming that they have a plan for us, the plan says that instead of taking Tuesday as a holiday we will push it a little bit to Wednesday so you guys will enjoy such a long weekend then come back by Saturday freshen up and active. So I told myself please forgive them for not understanding the concept of giving away a holiday for such an event…anyways, Long Life Saudi!!

In RAGE, Fellix Hagar tells me that
Feltrite Crystals are very rare and only to trade them for something I really want. They can be sold to a merchant for $25 each. Can they be traded for anything at all in the game, or should I just sell them immediately?
In RAGE, Fellix Hagar tells me that
You can trade 20 of them to Jacob, he's in the bar in Wellspring, for a defib upgrade (which means you can die one more time before a game over)
There is virtually unlimited Feltrite in the game so selling a few doesn't matter. driving around the wasteland will occasionally activate missions automatically. One of the missions requires you to collect 7 falling Feltrites, afterwhich you keep all 7. I just recently came across another one where it was "collect as many as you can in the time given" - I got a whopping 15.
Note that the Feltrite shower events (Feltrite tempests/storms) are not unlimited, but scripted. There are 3. The first two will allow you to get up to 7 each. The third one will allow you to gain up to 20.
As far as any other use outside that one upgrade, I don't know of any.
You can get an awesome upgrade later on for 20 crystals. Don't make the same mistake I did, save at least 20.

It's no joke Comedian and amateur liberal pundit Bill Maher is none too happy about the tax burden borne by high-income earners in California. During a recent panel discussion, Mr. Maher pointed out that Golden State millionaires pay nearly 40 percent of their earnings to the feds and nearly 15 percent to the state. "It's outrageous what we're paying — over 50 percent. I'm willing to pay my share, but yeah, it's ridiculous," he said. In recent months, President Obama has portrayed as selfish anyone opposed to his soak-the-rich tax policies. It will be interesting to see if the president sticks this label on Mr. Maher, who donated $1 million to a pro-Obama political action committee last year.

New rules could add to Long Bar Pointe costs
Published: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 10:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 10:32 p.m.
CORTEZ - The developers of the proposed Long Bar Pointe community may have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional planning costs because of tighter government regulations.
Manatee County's Planning Commission signed off Thursday on potential revisions to a new Urban Service Area that would require more stringent regional reviews for any development on about 3,000 coastal acres outside the service area's new borders — including the Cortez land where Long Bar Pointe is planned.
The changes come just months after the mixed-used project drew community protests and 6,500 signatures on a petition aimed at quashing the plans before a marathon nine-hour public hearing on the development.
Now, Long Bar's developers face another financial hurdle to their plan to build 2,700 homes, a 250-room hotel, an 84,000-square-foot convention center and other commercial development.
Long Bar Pointe developer Carlos Beruff could not be reached Thursday for comment on the potential new expense.
To spur economic growth, the county earlier this year crafted the new Urban Service Area for about 20,000 acres west of U.S. 301 and south of the Manatee River.
The new designation was designed to provide incentives to higher-density developments and prevent the type of harmful sprawl that plagues many communities in Southwest Florida, said John Osborne, a Manatee County planning official.
About 250 municipalities and a dozen other Florida counties — including Hillsborough and Pinellas — now have similar designations, which allow some developments to forgo stringent and costly "Development of Regional Impact," or DRI, review.
But under guidance of the Southwest Florida Water Management District — a state agency Long Bar Pointe's Beruff now chairs — the county modified the plan to remove areas with high storm surge risks from the Urban Service plan. About 95 percent of Long Bar Pointe was eliminated from the new map.
County commissioners are slated to vote on the proposed planning commission changes in early November.
"The DRI process is good when you have a nuclear power plant or stadium that wants to come build on the county line, when you need that regional input and regional conversation," Osborne said. "Because it takes a lot of time and money to review."
