Leading ladies: Sheridan Smith dazzles at the Whatsonstage.com Awards as Mel C stuns in a scarlet gown
She's fast becoming one of the biggest names in the world of theatre and on the small screen.
So on Sunday night at the Whatsonstage.com Awards in London, Sheridan Smith stood out as she dazzled in a sequinned dress.
And matching 31-year-old Smith's showing at the star studded event was Melanie Chisholm, 39, who wowed in a floor length scarlet gown.
Stealing the show: Sheridan Smith dazzled in a sequinned mini-dress at the Whatsonstage.com Awards on Sunday which was held at London's Palace Theatre
Commanders in attention: Sheridan's sparkly showing was matched by Melanie Chisholm's red gown
Wearing her hair up in a chic do, Sheridan gave a flawless showing as she posed for cameras on the burgundy carpet inside the event.
Smith slipped her svelte frame in a silver number which featured a nude coloured waistband which did well to hug her curves.
Going for the minimalistic look, the Hedda Gabler star kept her make-up simple as she strutted along in a pair of nude pointed stilettos while accessorising with a cylinder clutch.
Adding to her accolades: Sheridan won the gong for Best Actress for her role in Hedda Gabler
Stunning: Melanie Chisholm posed with her award as she wowed in a floor length scarlet gown
Gorgeous: The Spice Girl teamed her gown with a black clutch and open toe heels
Far removed form her days as Sporty Spice, Mel C made for the picture of elegance in a draping floor length gown which complimented her perfectly manicured nails.
The former pop star teamed her demure dress with a black clutch bag as she wore her brunette looks down in loose curls styled in a centre parting.
At the event Mel picked up the gong for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for her role in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Kisses from her co-star: Mel was interrupted as she posed for pictures by Tim Minchin
Bringing SexyBack: Jennifer Ellison wore a lace gown which featured a large cut-out section
West End hit Sweeney Todd topped the bill at a theatre awards show tonight by carrying off five prizes.
The production was named best musical revival while its stars Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton were declared the best actor and actress in a musical at the award show.
Rupert Everett landed the prize for best actor in a play for his performance in The Judas Kiss.
And Sheridan Smith - who has previously won two Olivier awards for her stage roles - took the title for best actress in a play in recognition of her portrayal of Hedda Gabler.
Chart star Will Young was also rewarded as newcomer of the year for his West End debut in the show Cabaret.
Well deserved: Danny Boyle received the trophy for Theatre Event of the Year for the amazing show he put on at the Opening Ceremony of the London Games 2012
In good spirits: Will Young won Newcomer of the Year for his role in Cabaret
Leading lady: Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps actress Natalie Casey both looked lovely
More pieces for the mantel: Michael Ball, Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Church
Boys will be boys: Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens and actor Luke Treadaway
And Stephen Fry landed a prize for his return to the London stage, with his performance as Malvolio in Twelfth Night at the Globe Theatre, picking up the best supporting actor in a play prize.
In 1995 he famously skipped the country after being stung by a bad review for his performance in the production Cell Mates.
He said of his win: 'I am simply astonished. Seventeen years ago, I left this country in disgrace having run out of a play and I thought I might never return to the stage again.
'But thanks to the Globe, to Tim Carroll the director, the author William Shakespeare, and to the wonderful Sonia Friedman (producer), and most of all, to the audiences at the Globe and the Apollo.'
He continued: 'I have been back onstage in a wonderful play and had the privilege of playing with one of the best casts that has ever been assembled.'

Also in attendance: Lizzie Cundy flashed her pearly whites as she wore a flowing purple Pia Michi minidress
The National Theatre's adaptation of the award-winning Mark Haddon book The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time was named best new play.
Sweeney Todd's other gongs at the ceremony - for which winners are chosen by theatregoers - were best director and best lighting.
Les Miserables, which has now become a major movie hit, was named best West End show, while Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony was given the accolade of theatre event of the year.
Sunday's ceremony at the Palace Theatre in London was hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Rufus Hound.

Peter Miller did not enter Fast Parade in the HK$12 million Hong Kong Sprint, to be run Dec. 10, because the horse "isn't himself," the trainer said. Fast Parade had shipped from California to Hong Kong for the Sprint, one of four group I races that comprise the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races at Sha Tin Racecourse, but has failed to thrive with the long journey. That leaves Rebel Rebel in the HK$16 million Hong Kong Mile as the sole U.S. representative."He's just not doing right," Miller said Thursday morning at Sha Tin, shortly before taking Fast Parade out on the track. "He's not eating. It's a long way for a horse to travel."Miller rode Fast Parade out onto Sha Tin's all-weather surface, which sits inside of the main turf course, to judge how the 3-year-old gelding was feeling. "I'm just going to give him an easy trot," the trainer said. That exercise confirmed Miller's sense that Fast Parade would not be able to perform to his best, and so he did not enter him for the barrier draw later in the morning."I don't want to jeopardize next year for one race," Miller said.
"It's unfortunate, because I believe he could have won. Sometimes, just the shipping can knock them out of it."Gary and Cecil Barber own Fast Parade, a Washington-bred son of Delineator -- Parade of Gold, by Prospectors Gamble. The gelding earned an invitation to the Hong Kong Sprint after setting a course record of :54.75 for five furlongs while winning the Aug. 16 Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar (with subsequent TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint, gr. I, winner Thor's Echo in fourth) and the Nearctic Stakes (Can-II) at Woodbine Oct. 22.

Is there a non-root shell command that can tell me if a user's account is disabled or not?
Please note that I make a distinction between LOCKING and DISABLED:
- LOCKING is where you prepend
!!to the password field of the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file. Password locking can be done (at a shell prompt) via
password -l username(as root) to lock the account of username, and the use of the option
-uwill unlock it.
- DISABLING an account is done by setting the expiration time of the user account to some point in the past. This can be done with
chage -E 0 username, which sets the expiration date to 0 days after the Unix epoch. Setting it to
-1will disable the use of the expiration date.
For my situation, the use of locking is not sufficient because a user might still be able to login, e.g. using ssh authentication tokens, and processes under that user can still spawn other processes. Thus, we have accounts that are enabled or disabled, not just locked. What I'm looking for is a way to check the enable/disable status of an account via a shell command, for use in a custom Java process. The Java process can parse the output or make use of the exit code, and it can execute complicated statements such as those including pipes between commands.
This is intended for use on a Red Hat Enterprise 5.4 system.

First steel, then glass!Submitted by Margit Johnson on Sun, 01/17/2016 - 8:31pm
The renovation of our public library continues in spite of cold and snow. The steel framing for the new entrance and atrium has been anchored into the existing building. Once the framing is complete, watch for the glazing that will let in the sunshine, keep out the cold and enable you to see through to the original building. Steel-and-glass is the architects' way of leaning lightly on our historic Carnegie library while gaining much-needed space.
For more photos of the extensive interior renovations, see guides.mynpl.org. To make a donation to the renovation, including patio furniture, special features in the children's area and conference room amenities (not included in the renovation budget), go to www.northfieldpubliclibraryfriends.org.

"The Color of Unity": A Community Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Submitted by Rob Hardy on Sun, 01/10/2016 - 5:30pm
"Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children". This was a part of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous 'I Have a Dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial in August, 1963. The message continues to have great relevance for today when we are seeing that justice still is not being delivered fairly among all of those who live in this country.
The Northfield Human Rights Commission invites everyone to join us for the 22nd annual community celebration honoring the life and message of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

My profile would be boring, so I won't bother (you can visit my dad
Mitzie the Clown
instead) ... and I won't list a bunch of do this and do that's. "Help with Find A Grave" has all that.... assuming you've read them.
With sand fleas and no-see-ums biting, dodging bee's, garden snakes, and one territorial hawk, currently up against a serious gaggle of geese (ie: goose poo) - I've swept the dirt, trimmed the grass, blown off the leaves and dug out the forgotten stones. Each one will tell you a story; of love, laughter and sadness.
I take pictures. Lots of pictures. Good ones, bad ones. wyswyg. Am slowly fixin' the really bad ones. Meanwhile you will know that there is a stone.
You may use MY picture(s) any way you want. It is my gift to you. No further permission is needed, NOR credit given. This applies to MY PHOTO's ONLY. If you feel you must give credit, use my member ID# only - my name is plastered all over the www as it is.
Many contributors have given their time creating memorials for the men and women who lost their lives in service. I would like to bring attention to just this one:
2nd Lieut. Darrell K. Stoyke
Please, take a moment and visit his memorial. If the people of Eyguieres, France can build a
war memorial
in the center of their town to honor him, surely you can take a moment and visit his grave. If you have any information on this young man, please contact me. Thank you.
If you've left me a "thank you" - You are very welcome. I really am glad I was able to help you. Now go back to that memorial you were so happy to find and leave a Flower, a Note, some Cheetos. Anything. Show them you care and they are not forgotten.

Faro family in Sunset

Jerry Anderson Grave
Hi Jaci, I appreciate you and what you do. I have been looking for a long lost friend and I think he may be the person I've found on this site which whom you have photographed his headstone. His name was Jerry Anderson, born March 14, 1959 and died January 24, 2013. I know this is a long shot but would you be able to get and or post any photo of him or obituary? If not for whatever reason, I do understand. Or if you can find out one thing: Did he have green eyes? If he did, then this is my friend. That's all I want to know. I want to make sure this is him so I can properly mourn him and get closure.
Thank you so much.

Aaaargh! Me and my guys
Trying to keep it high
We'll play all night for you
I'm banging my head 'til I'm dead
As long as you move
We're on the fast way
Delivering the best that I can
Can you see what I'm doing
Running from day to day
Just to let it go
C'mon move your assholes!
Stand up! Right now! Kill off!
Well I've got the command
Did you understand
Attacking is the only way to win
Awaiting the warday and
The inflammation
You're the first who will be burning
If you see the storm
No time to go down
That's way I'm screaming
No pleasure the pain comes down here
No return don't look back
There's no tomorrow
And if you're a fucker
And don't believe it
Fuck off and die!
Yeah! I've got the control
With my heart of stone
I feel the hades in the air
The vibration in my bones
And the noise keeps the thrill
The adventure has just begun
No religion in this place
You're waiting for that moment
Forget it and don't loose your time
Don't want to become like that
There's many times to raise hell
There's many ways to live your life
Together we staying for yell
Don't break your fever
So if you need religion
Or a God to believe
So if you're a straight
Guy in the high society
If you are a looser or just
A fuckin' wimp.....
Fuck off and die!

Hepatic tolerance has been recognized by spontaneous acceptance of liver transplants in several animal models1 and by induction of tolerance to antigens delivered through the portal vein.2 Compared with other organ transplants, human liver transplants manifest absence of hyperacute rejection and low incidence of chronic rejection.3 A certain percentage of liver transplantation patients have been weaned from immunosuppression without graft rejection.2 Interestingly, liver allografts are accepted, whereas hepatocyte transplants are acutely rejected,4 suggesting that liver nonparenchymal cells play a role in protecting parenchymal cells (hepatocytes) from immune injury. We have examined a variety of mouse liver nonparenchymal cells, and found that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), abundant liver stromal cells known for storing retinoids and participating in fibrogenesis, have potent immune regulatory activity. HSCs can effectively protect islet allografts from rejection when they are cotransplanted.5, 6
Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is an important proinflammatory cytokine mainly produced by T helper 1 cells and natural killer cells, mediating both innate and adaptive immune responses. Recent accumulating evidence suggests that IFN-γ is also critical for tolerance induction.7–12 Thus, IFN-γ stimulation is required for liver transplant tolerance, because liver allografts transplanted into wild-type (WT) mice achieve long-term survival, whereas no allografts survived beyond 14 days in IFN-γ−/− recipients or IFN-γ receptor (IFN-γR)−/− allografts in WT recipients.13 The underlying mechanisms are not completely understood.8
In this study, we demonstrated that islet allografts achieved long-term survival when HSCs were cotransplanted, which required IFN-γ stimulation to HSCs, because HSCs isolated from IFN-γR1 knockout (KO) mice were unable to provide the same degree of protection. Cotransplanted HSCs inhibited T cell responses through elimination of graft infiltrating effector T cells and expansion of CD4+ Forkhead box protein (Foxp)3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells. Both effects required IFN-γ stimulation. B7-H1, a downstream product of IFN-γ signaling, contributes to deletion of effector T cells, but has no effect on expansion of Treg cells, suggesting that another as-yet unidentified IFN-γ signaling product participates in this process.

Guide By: Ellusion, The Pants Party
There are 50 achievements with a total of 1000 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
One thing that is very importing for this game is knowing the lay of the land and the order in which to do something (or not do something) so that you can complete it with the least amount of work and time possible. For starters, a good walkthrough is handy as the game does not give you much direction. I used the one at Game Pressure, which includes every quest and very good maps. Come to that, the next most important thing are the maps themselves. Here is everything you should need in the order you'll come to it:
On top of the land and its inhabitants/important locations, you'll also need to collect most if not all of the following items, being careful not to use them before the end of Part 2: Hero's Crowns, Ogreroots and Pixie Hats (Stone Plates you can use immediately). The best way to keep track of which you have collected is to save three copies of the Island map with file names to match the items, then make a corresponding green dot at the ones you've picked up. As the maps on the website are interactive, they will save blank for you to mark as necessary.
As for another thing not to do, is using your LP. For many of the achievements, you will need to have a minimum of 90LP and 6,000 Gold on hand. After gaining a number of levels you will be up over 90: this is when it is safe to permanently use some of it. If you need to get achievements such as Workaholic or Mage out of the way early, use the save and reload trick described in the guide below. Do not permanently learn something unless it will be greatly helpful, such as more strength, Alchemy Level 3 or lockpicking.
Part 1: Island, Bandit Camp and Harbor Town
After doing the initial Island quests, have Jan at the house on the road take you west to the Bandit Camp and do all the quests there as well. Then the Don will send you to Harbor Town. Here is where the first trick of the game comes in. While doing these quests, you will want to make sure you do not complete the following:
Having done all available quests to this point aside from the ones above and their followups, save your game in a new slot and do not overwrite it! You will now continue on with the game, siding with the Order first and becoming a Mage. Do not become a Warrior of the Order, as they cannot learn Seal 4 required for the Rune Master achievement.
Part 2: Mage Playthrough
Go ahead and finish those seven quests above (again, do not save over the file where you're holding all the items - create a new one!), doing whichever method will be "for the Order." Once that is done, you will be sent to Volcano Keep and from there just follow the guide at Game Pressure to get all story related quests and various side-quest achievements as well. As you play, use the maps provided above to collect (but not eat!) all of the special herbs. Also be sure to collect all the Stone Plates and find any Bookshelves, as well as getting all the Teleport Stones.
Late in Chapter 4 you should have found all the Bookshelves and Stone Plates, getting your Wisdom up to 200 and unlocking the Expert achievement. At this point, track down your remaining herbs from the maps above and use the save and reload trick to get 200 in strength and dexterity. Here is the order you will need to train in to successfully get 200:
At this point, go ahead and finish out the game if you've done all quests-related achievements except Fence and Freedom Fighter, then reload the special save you made back in the beginning of Part 1.
Part 3: Fighter Half-Playthrough
Now you will need to turn in your seven quests, this time doing whichever method will net you "for the Don" outcomes. At the end of this, you will be able to earn the "Fence" achievement, and upon completing Chapter 2 again you will earn "Freedom Fighter." That should be the last story-related achievement you needed, so move to Part 4 to finish off your 1000.
Part 4: Cleanup
You should now only have some of the grindy achievements left, having earned all quest-related achievements and all stat-related achievements. Reload any save you want to finish the rest of the achievements by abusing the hell out of the save/reload method. I would suggest your Mage with the maxed out strength and large inventory. Continually sell your inventory for King Midas. Find a group of wolves or gnomes to repeatedly kill for Big Game Hunter. Pickpocket, Lockpick and Forge for Master Thief, Safecracker and Weaponsmith. Anything else you have to clean up should be fairly easy as well. If you have any stat or quest-related achievements left at this point, you did something wrong somewhere in Part 1 or 2 and may need a third game, but hopefully not.
That should about do it. Congrats on your 1000!
[x360a would like to thank The Nerevarine and The Pants Party for this Road Map.]
|Field hand
|10 grain plants collected
Chapter 1
Follow the path to the east from the house on the side of the road towards the farm. You'll reach some fields with workers. The nearest field contains Thomas who has a quest for you to harvest his grain. There are exactly 10 Grain on this field, so pick them all for this to pop. When you pick up the Grains, a counter in the upper left corner will keep track of your progress.
|"Rescue Sara from the wilderness" completed
Chapter 1
When speaking to Jan outside the house on the side of the path after completing the quest "Find a decent weapon," let him know Sara came ashore with you and is waiting at the abandoned house. Jan will offer to go look for her, completing the quest and earning the achievement.
|"Medicine for everyone" completed
Chapter 1 (Harbor Town)
Going in from the rear of Harbour Town, you will come across Belschwur, a mage trying to help the poor. At day he can be found west of the gate a bit, stirring in a big cauldron. Talk to him to receive the quest "Medicine for everyone." You will be given 7 healing potions which you have to distribute to those that need them. There are 5 people on the round, and you get to keep 2 healing potions. The people you need to give these to are: Elias, Cole, Finn, Josh, and Martha. Belschwur will also give you a list with these names, found in your 'maps' section of the inventory. Everyone can be found around the Gutter district. Return to Belschwur when you are done for more quests and this achievement.
|"Peace and order" completed
Chapter 1 (Order Only)
This achievement is the counterpart to the achievement "Fence" you get from joining the Don, and requires you to complete a series of quests in favor of the Order. You can not do both in one playthrough without saving first and reloading after doing one or the other. See the road map for more details.
|"A package for the Don" completed
Chapter 1 (Don's Men Only)
This achievement will be awarded for giving The Don the package you got from Scordo, the bandits leader in Harbour City while playing in the Bandits favour. This will involve most of the sided quests in Harbour City, where you have to complete 4 questlines in either side's favour. You can't really miss this during your dealings with the bandits. If you get an audience with The Don before visiting Harbour City, you will be tasked with finding out what is going on in the city, and if you have completed the Harbour City quests and have the package, The Don will ask you for it before you can continue the story. This will probably play out differently if you play towards the other factions.
|Ladies' man
|"Woman beater" completed
Chapter 1 (Harbor Town)
Find Sonya's brothel in Harbour Town, to your right coming down towards the harbour from the Gutter district. Enter the bathroom to the left and talk to Gwen in the nearest tub. She will ask you to get rid of Erikson, who is sitting in the foyer. Go talk to him and provoke a fight. Remember to clean out his inventory once you beat him, but don't kill him. After Erikson gets up, talk to him again and tell him to leave and never come back. Go back to Gwen and talk to her to unlock this achievement.
|"Power struggle" completed
Chapter 1 (Bandit Camp)
This will pop once you complete the quest Power struggle by getting Brogar to finally back down. This is the culmination of a long series of quests for the bandits, and includes completing everything Brogar demands of you up until you find Dorgan in the eastern caves, get his 'suspicious' note of protection money targets, and collecting the protection money from the people on the list. All the while, talk to Sam the leader of the hunters, and Rachel, the Don's wife, to finally build up enough dirt on Brogar. In the end, all that is left is to pressure Brogar saying you will tell the Don all you know and he will back down.
|The merciful one
|The farmer's sick wife completed
Chapter 1 (Harbor Town)
Start this questline by talking to Arno just inside the rear gate to Harbour Town. This will put "The farmer's sick wife" in your journal. Next you have to complete the quest "Medicine for everyone" (see the "Samaritan" achievement). Once all potions have been delivered, talk to Belschwur to follow up on getting Martha somewhere to sleep. Head over to Costa and pay 30 gold for Arno and Martha to move into his hotel upstairs. Tell Arno they can sleep there, then talk to Martha who will reward you with a cooking recipe.
Note that this quest can only be completed after resolving the issue of Costa's money, either by returning it (Order side) or giving it to Delgado (Don side).
|Wise man
|"The test of Master Ignatius" completed
Chapter 1 (Volcano Keep, Mage Only)
After joining the Order, and after completing basic training, the masters will each set you to a different test. Talk to Ignatius and take the test of knowledge to start off as this will also help you along the road for the other master's tests. Ignatius' test involves reading all the books in the library, and seems simple enough. There are only 3 books you can read in the small library on the upper portions of the keep, and if you tell Ignatius you read them all, he will call you a liar. There is a catch of course - pulling the right ring by the awning in the small library to unlock a hidden door and access to the large underground library.
|Family man
|"The sons of Tilda" completed
Chapter 1 (Harbor Town)
Tilda, the poor woman sweeping outside Konrad's shop in Harbor Town, has three sons she hasn't heard from. You have to track down all three of them and report back to Tilda with their whereabouts. The three sons are Beppo, William, and Leon and all you have to do is talk to them about their mother, then report back.
|"The mystery of the eastern temple" completed
Chapter 2
This is related to finding one of the discs that chapter 2 revolves around. First you need to open the Eastern Temple. Playing for the Don that meant freeing the three treasure hunters from Harbor Town, finding the secret exit, and then have Fincher, the Don's right hand man, task you with finding the Eastern Temple, and subsequently, directing Olf and his treasure hunter brothers there. If you didn't, these quests would be cancelled when going into Chapter 2. The temple is open no matter what you do when in Chapter 2. Traversing the first part of the Eastern Temple requires you to find 3 old busts to open a series of gates leading into the real temple:
Once you have opened the passageway, make your way down into the underground city. When you exit out of the house you enter from, a Lizard Priest will attack you from across the road. Kill him to grab the disc, a teleport stone, and this achievement.
|Little hero
|"Where is Patty?" completed
Chapter 2
Beginning in Chapter 2, you will meet Balturo inside the Don's cave who tasks you with helping Patty find her father's treasure. Find Patty down by the beach near the Harbour Town secret entrance, and then follow her up to near the bandit camp where you will dig up the first treasure. Patty will stay behind while you locate the remaining chests. (list?) Once you have all 5 opened, and the series of clues, head back to where you left Patty to find her missing. She has been captured by Romanov. Talk to Eronga and he will lead you to the western ruins, and from there trail all the way to a small ruin at the end of the western coast. You will meet with Romanov and presented with a bit of a choice.
You can trade Steelbeard's treasure for Patty, or you can say forget about Patty and keep everything but a map for yourself, but this doesn't help towards the achievement. The third and best option is to simply take on Romanov and his lackeys, keeping the treasure and the girl. Romanov will have the key to Patty's cell on him, so head back to the larger ruins Eronga left you in, and look for a staircase leading down, towards the outer wall of the ruins, towards the ocean. The door is to your left as you head down the stairs. Find Patty inside, completing the quest "Where is Patty?," and this achievement will pop.
Warning: Be sure to remember to save Patty ASAP! If you come back after Chapter 2 when the Lizard are about, she might be dead inside the cell and the achievement won't unlock.
|Rune master
|"The fourth seal of rune magic" completed
Chapter 4 (Mage Only)
For this you have to play for the Order, as it involves learning the highest spell level, Seal 4. This can only be done in Chapter 4, as each level of Seal has a Wisdom requirement; 50-100-150-200. You won't reach 200 Wisdom before going after the Titan pieces, as the missing Stone Tablets are found in the crypts behind the blue barriers.
|Ghost hunter
|"Find all the vassal rings" completed
Chapter 1
This quest starts with talking to Leon by his cabin, about his dreams of undead. The best point of reference to finding the cabin is to head towards the winding path up to Volcano Keep, and when you meet Stan, continue up to the farms run by Severin. From the farms, align your compass east by south-east and keep going until you reach a pond. The cabin can be seen from this pond. Once you have the quest in your journal, you have to track down a few Undead Lords that carry these rings on your own. All Undead Lords are found in or around the greystone ruins littered around the ruins.
After the fifth ring, you can defeat Lord Patroscon (for a nice shield). He can be found in the large cave connecting the forest where Leon resides, with the northeastern part of the island. In the main chamber, look for skeletons and a downwards entrance to more ruins. Lord Patroscons chamber is at the end of the ruins. He doesn't have a ring, and if you talk to Leon again he will tell you that now the rest of the lords is talking to him but gives no clue as to where the last undead lord is located. The achievement will pop as soon as you pick up the 6th ring regardless of defeating Patroscon, but remember to head back to Leon for some good xp, gold, and a few nice scrolls.
|First monster killed
|You will get this as soon as you kill your first enemy. Sara asks you to find a weapon on the beach. There is a club just nearby, pick it up. Press [UP] on the direction pad to access your inventory, then equip the weapon by highlighting it with the left stick and pressing [A].
To draw your weapon, click the [X]. Attack with [RT], block with [LT]. Now simply find an enemy (there is a Hungry Sea Vulture at the far end of the beach) and kill it, it's not too hard.
|The brave little tailor
|Seven grave moths killed
The first moth encounter will be around the first ancient ruins you come across. There's 4 of them around the temple. The next encounter is probably the bandits camp in the Swamp. You will be tasked to clear out some insects during the quest Disgusting insects by way of Ricardo. Although it says Grave Moths, these insects count as the same. There are 4 of them on the small island in the swamp, netting you this achievement.
|Ferocious wild boars
|20 wild boars killed
Nothing to this as all boars are included, young, regular and wild alike. If you clean up the young boars on your way to the bandit camp and Harbour City this should pop up fairly quick. A good strategy for beating the older boars is to use a one-handed weapon and shield - the boars will hit and damage you through a two-handed weapon block.
|Terror of the hens
|20 chickens killed
Just kill chickens when you see them from the get go, for the meat and experience. Farmers and people close by don't seem to mind one bit and will usually only comment about waving your weapon around. There are plenty chickens at the farm where you met Thomas and Tellur (who guided you to Harbour Town). The Don's camp in the Swamp also have several chickens, and they can be found around the Gutter part of Harbour Town. That should net you 20 or more chickens killed, and this achievement.
|Beast slayer
|500 monsters killed
|See "Big game hunter" for more info.
|Big game hunter
|2000 monsters killed
The tracking of amount of beasts killed works similar to other achievements, where the number is independent of your game state. You could kill the Vulture on the beach where you start 2000 times over by way of reloading a game, if you felt a bit crazy. Not the best approach though. If on your first playtrhough you kill everything available, the guesstimate of total beasts killed is around 1000-1200. Two full playthroughs would land you this achievement more or less, not counting any reloads.
Beast slayer was unlocked for me at the end of chapter 1 on my first playthrough, and Big game hunter unlocked about 3/4 into chapter 1 on my second playthrough. That involved several areas of the game and monsters killed twice by reloading after some Ashbeast love, and so your mileage may vary. If you still don't have this after two playthroughs, know that Chapter 1 contains the majority of the monsters available if you have to start a new game and run around a bit.
|Ogre friend
|Rescued the ogre, Drok
Chapter 2
Tasked with finding the discs for Mendoza, he will clue you in on finding the druid Eldric, who can repair the broken disc. Head up the eastern side of the island to Eldric's hut where Cyrus is standing around waiting for Eldric to come back. With the sleeve found inside the hut, make use of Rufo the wolf to track Eldric's scent to the temple directly north of the Volcano Keep - the one previously closed by a red magic barrier. Cyrus will help you with this. Enter the temple referred to as the "Lizard Prison". To the north-west on the lizard prison map, you will find the actual prison cells, opened with the key from the Watchman lizard. Drok can found in the last cell on the upper level.
|Hard worker
|250 quests completed
Every time you complete a quest that is written about in your journal, it will count towards the total 250 needed for this achievement. As with similar achievements, the count is independent of your gamestate. This achievement is most easily done just playing through the game, and it will probably pop before you reach the end just by doing the quests given to you.
If you want to boost this along, find a couple easy quests, save your game, complete the quest and reload. Repeat completing the quest until this unlocks.
|100% achieved in an attribute
This can be achieved by bringing any of the three attributes to a natural 200, meaning you cannot use any rings or amulets to boost. Dexterity is probably the easiest as you'll find more Dex boosting items than Str. Trainers will only train you to 100. To raise the remaining points you are going to rely mainly on brewing potions that give +5 in strength or dexterity. For this you need Alchemy level 3, Hero's Crown plants (of which there are 20 total in the game), and last the plant for Strength or Dexterity, Ogreroots or Pixie Hats respectively. The recipes for brewing these potions can be found hidden, or bought from the alchemists after Chapter 2.
To effectively maximize a skill, train it up to 100, then consume any attribute boosters you have for that skill up to the nearest 5, and finally brew as many +5 potions you need to reach 200. Commonly know 'boosters' are eating 50 apples for +5 strength, Harlok's stew in the monastery for +2 strength (Mage only), and the Hunter's Fry-up recipe found in the chest behind Patty when in Harbour Town for +2 dexterity. Also realize since there are only 20 Hero's Crown total in the game, once they are spent, you might as well eat the remaining attribute plants.
|Every profession learned
These are the skills under the Crafting tab when viewing the character sheet. Alchemy, Smithing, Prospect Ore, and Gut Animals. You need to learn all four skills, and all levels, for a total of 8 training sessions and 40 learning points - they cost 5LP each. Alchemy, Smithing and Gut Animals are easily obtained either in Harbour Town or the bandit camp. Note that you do not have to "know" all of these at the same time. You can save your game, learn a skill fully and then reload your previous save to keep your LP for something more useful.
In chapter 1 only Olf, one of the three treasure hunters in Harbour Town, will teach you Prospecting and it requires the completion of two key quests so the Order will release him from prison. The first is the Don's amulet, hidden in a secret room in his old mansion. It doesn't matter if you do this for the Order or the Bandits. The next is the three golden bowls - the quest you receive from the Order guard outside the Warehouse. Two of the triplets have one bowl each, and the last is hidden in the lighthouse on the upper floor, and requires a Telekinesis spell to reach (which Jack the lighthouse keeper sells). Once both those quests are complete and the respective parties have been informed of the outcome, talk to the guard outside the Don's old mansion, and Olf will be released shortly.
|All crystals learned
Chapter 1 (Mage Only)
A bit misleading, but it means Learn level 10 in all three crystal magic types. When you finish the last of your training with the mages, you will be given level 1 in all three crystalmagicks. If you have 90LP saved up at this point, and a fair bit of gold for training (about 6k), make a save game and then train up to level 10 in one. Reload and train the other two the same way.
Ignatius will train you to level 10 in Fireball, Vitus will teach you Magic Bullet up to level 10, and finally Pallas will teach you Frost. For Pallas training, you can get him to lower his price a bit by providing some magic ingredients.
|Every close combat talent learned
Chapter 2
For this you need to reach level 10 in the three close combat skills; Sword Fighting, Axe Fighting, and Staff Fighting, at any one point in the game. They do not have to be done all at once, and will track between saves and playthroughs. If you play as one of the Don's Men, you won't be able to learn staff fighting level 10. It's quite possible to achieve this in one playthrough playing as a Mage or Warrior, but will require you to finish all the quests in the bandit camp to have access to Fincher and Karakos.
|Every ranged combat talent learned
Don's Men Only
This will require you to learn level 10 in both Archery and Crossbows. Since that is unrealistic in one playthrough, the game will track your progress between plays. You could play through the game maxing Archery and then again focusing on Crossbow, but the easiest and most practical way of netting this achievement is to store up 90 LP (9 levels) as each level costs 10LP and you start with level 1. Save your game, train up to level 10 in one, then reload and do the same with the other. You also have to play for the Don on this one, as playing for the Order as either Warrior or Mage will only allow you training up to level 7 in those skills (seeing as you're also learning magic). The level 10 trainers for Archery and Crossbows are:
|Master of the classes
|100 % achieved in three attributes
See 'Expert' for more info on maximizing attributes. Getting all three attributes to 200 will also require you to raise wisdom up to max, and wisdom cannot be trained or boosted like strength or dexterity. For Wisdom you simply need to progress through the game reading all possible bookstands and finding as many Stone Plates as you can. Bookstands give you +3 wisdom while Stone Plates give you +4. It's not really feasible to reach this until after chapter 4 when you get the means to crack blue barriers; behind these you'll find the last few Stone Plates you need for a clean 200.
|Fervent swimmer
|Caught by the tideworm 10 times
As you gain control of your character after the introducton, turn around and walk into the sea. When the seabed drops off sharply a giant sea worm will swallow you. You wake up on the beach again.
Rinse and repeat 9 times for this achievement. Click [Y] to jump and traverse the waist high water quicker. This can probably be done at any time in the game, and any spot where you have access to the sea, and have been a common indicator of the player moving outside the intended playing field in Pirahna Byte games.
|The fourth triplet
|10 treasures found
Have a shovel in your inventory. Look for odd spots and hit [A] around it to start digging up stuff. Note that digging up chests is not tracked by savegame, and you can reload to dig up the same chest several times towards this achievement. You will dig up at least five during the questline with Steelebear's treasure for one of the crystal discs, and there areprobably a dozen others around the island as well. If you want, save just before digging your first and simply reload that nine times to get this out of the way quickly.
|Fell to death 3 times
When you reach the Abandoned House as part of your first mission after waking up on the beach, save your game. Then go to the left, where you will see a clearing with a fireplace and a small chest. Ignore these for now, just walk by the fence and fall off the edge. Load your save and repeat two times, you idiot.
|25 Jest spells used
Once you get hold of a "Tell Joke" spell scroll, save your game. Then use it on someone, load the game and repeat 24 times. A much faster way is to wait until you meet Caspar sweeping around the Monastery, or Scordo the bandit departmenthead in Harbour Town, then you can buy 5 of them from him, thus greatly speeding up the process by telling 5 jokes at a time before reloading. A tip is to keep the save game from before you buy them as they are quite expensive. Then, once the achievement pops, you can just load this game to save the money.
|100 locks picked
The number of chests opened are confirmed tracked between games. However, picking the same chest open a hundred times seems kinda counter-productive. I was able to get this during Chapter 1 and seldom reloaded a game too often where opening a locked chest would count twice. That means there is probably 100 or more chests available in the Chapter 1 game world alone, and you would be better off looting them all.
Opening chests with Lockpicks require the Open locks skill. Cid in Harbour Town will teach you this skill up to level 3 if you side with the Don. The combination is always the same, and always consist of an equal number of left or right picks. If you find yourself going through lockpicks too fast, save, get the combination, load and pick open the chest without expending lockpicks. Merchant selling lockpicks usually have a steady supply too, so don't be afraid to stock up.
A nice spot to boost this is in the Don's Treasury. There are three chests here (one next to the smoking girl, two on either side of his bed), and the combination will always be the same. Save just outside the first chest and then unlock them all (you'll be attacked), then simply load your save and repeat.
|100 weapons forged
If you are going to do this, you most likely won't be able to do it in one playthrough anyway. It does track the amount of blades forged between savegames and playthroughs, so the easiest way to achieve this would be with a fair dose of saving and reloading. Now, forging is a time consuming process no matter what, but here's a quicker method than forging one sword at a time, and not using a single Speed spell!
Buy, steal, beg, or prospect your way to 10 sword blanks (8 iron ore per blank, traded in at every smith). Find a nice smithy somewhere, preferably at night so you can work undisturbed. Put your first blank to the forge and heat it. Instead of going for the Anvil next, hit [B] to put the glowing metal in your pocket. Ouch. Pull out another blank and continue doing this until you have 10 blanks through the fire. Continue to the anvil, hammering out 10 heated blades. Take your 10 glowing swords to the water trough one at a time. Keep hitting [B] to put them away. Now, SAVE. With 10 dull blades in your inventory, hit the Whetstone and voila, 10 Sharp Swords. Reload and repeat 10 times for 100 forged swords.
|Master thief
|50 pockets picked
This achievement is currently a bit glitched and might seem to not work. Trying to figure this out a few things became apparent; it does track the number of people you pickpocket between games, but not between different levels of targets. Say you learn Pickpocket 1, pick a few targets and then learn Pickpocket 2, going for the new options available. The game seems to differ between targets requiring level 1, 2 or 3 when counting and thus you have x amount of level 1 targets and x amount of level 2 targets. Until this is sorted, here is the easiest way to achieve this:
Start a new game and make your way to the bandit camp in the swamps. Make sure you have at least 100 gold and locate Phil who is guarding the swamp farm up the hill by the dam. Have Phil teach you Pickpocket 1. Save your game. Turn around and pick the pockets of your first target, Obel. Head down to the swamps again and find Clay sleeping by the nearest fire. Pick his pockets. Now head out into the swamps and locate Louis the drunk. Pick him too and head back to camp to find Brogar. Once he's relieved of his possessions, head up to the arena close by. Locate Brannon hiding in an alcove above the arena and pick his pockets too. That's 5 level 1 people picked. Reload your game, learn the skill from Phil and repeat this round of targets until the achievement pops.
Warning: You MUST let the person finish talking at every screen while picking them for it to count toward this achievement. If at any point you hit [B] to skip dialogue, it will not be counted.
|1.000 gold coins obtained
|See "King Midas" for more info.
|100,000 gold coins obtained
|See "King Midas" for more info.
|King Midas
|300,000 gold coins obtained
Note that how much gold you have attained is tracked separate of your game status. Getting 100 gold in one game, reloading or starting a new game, and getting the same 100 gold will still count as having gotten 200 gold. Do not worry about not spending the gold either, as it only tracks the accumulation of gold, not what amount you have at a given time.
The easiest way to get all three of the gold collecting achievements is to play through as normal, saving up items in your inventory. Gold will seldom be a problem and you won't have to sell much of anything unless you play a Mage with limited Mana reserves. Towards the end of the game, save your game close to a merchant of any type, then sell your entire inventory. This will easily net you 10-25,000 gold depending on how much you kept around for this. Reload your game and do the process again, until Moneybags and King Midas unlocks. Well-to-do will probably have unlocked very early in the game, from quest rewards.
|Found way out of the first ruin
Escape from the first ancient temple you encounter. Fairly simple but can be missed. After leaving Sara at the abandoned house early on, follow the path up the mountain. You should see the temple once you get to the top. There is a Grave Moth close to the entrance. Proceed through the door and down the stairs to fall into a chamber with another Grave Moth and two difficult chests. To escape the temple, find a lever beside the grate and only exit. Pull the lever to unlock this achievement.
|Map reader
|Found first map in the game
In the house referred to as the house on the side of the path where you meet Jan and receive the quest "Find a decent weapon," grab the key from the Cupboard on the ground floor, head upstairs and unlock the Chest and grab the Small map of the island to unlock this at the first possible chance.
|Found first bow
|To the right of the house where you met Jan coming up from the beach, there is a natural rock formation. East from the house. Position yourself by the lowest ledge and press [Y] to jump and grab hold of it. Jump to the next ledge and the top, to find a Short Bow and some Arrows.
|King of the handymen
|20 tool bags collected in inventory
Chapter 1 (Harbor Town)
Walter the smith in Harbour Town will give you the quest "Everything that isn't nailed down," and it means gathering up 15 Tool bags from Gnomes around the island. For the achievement however, you need to gather all 20 possible tool bags, and have them in your inventory at the same time, so DO NOT turn in the bags to complete the quest.
Secret Achievements
|Master detective
|Find Hemlar's murderer completed
Chapter 1 (Mage Only)
This will trigger when you pass by your room in Volcano Keep. Speak with Vitus, then Caspar, then head to your room and pick up the kitchen knife, small packet of weed and Hemlar's purse. Speak with Caspar again, then ask Pallas for the list of people in the keep (must complete the "Basic Training" quest first). Now you'll need to ask Ash, Karlsen, Tucker and Harlok, Yoki, Caspar and Taylor about Hemlar.
Now you'll have to complete "Distribute the weed refers in the keep" by delivering to Caspar, Kato, Karlsen, Yoki, Tucker, Harlok, Kalibem, Taylor and Dalman. Talk with Caspar one more time, then go to the baths and sit down in one. Vitus will appear and fight you to end the quest.
|Death of a Legend
|"The Legend of the Gyrger" completed
Chapter 2
You can get this achievement in Chapter 1, but it's more practical in Chapter 2 where you get a quest for it and know the context of Gyrgar. After triggering Chapter 2, Mendoza will task you with finding 4 missing crystal discs, and suggest you start with Severin down the path from Volcano Keep, at Tilda's Farm. When you arrive you have to defend the farm against a gnome attack. Talk to Severin after this and he mentions the gnomes might have a leader, and that they have stolen the disc Severin had in his possession. If you have visited the north-eastern island off the main island before, you know exactly where the legendary gnome boss is. Head for this smaller island, crossing the long rope bridge and make your way north along the path until the ruins. Gyrgar's hideout is in the lowest part of the ruins you enter at the far end. Kill him and take the disc for this achievement.
|"Secure the volcano keep" completed
Chapter 3
Playing with the Don (but similar for Mage or Warrior), after opening the door with the 5 discs and defeating the group of lizard men exiting, turn around and head back to the monastery. It is now crawling with lizard men. Help Ignatius fend off the one or two lizard men he's fighting, and you are given two quests; Secure the Volcano Keep and Orders for the Mages. Lead the mages back to the Hall of the Flame by talking to them. The mages are the named leaders, not the recruits, and those needed to be found are: Illumar, Vitus, Abrax, Cyrus, and Pallas. Once you have found or talked to everyone, return to Ignatius for a situation report.
|Freedom fighter
|"Esteban's return to Harbour Town"
Chapter 2 (Don's Men only)
For this, you have to play for the Don and be a Hunter or Fighter. Early in chapter 1, reporting to the Don on your talks with Mendoza, you will be tasked with finding the 4 of 5 discs needed to open the volcano door, but for the Don instead of Mendoza. The Don is going to use the discs as a bargaining tool. Once you have the 4 discs, return to the Don for the last one and he will want you to bargain the discs for control of Harbour Town. You will be given the quest Esteban's Return to Harbour Town. Simply take the discs to Mendoza at the top of Volcano Keep and lay out your demands, ones he will agree to. You have to assist in opening the doors first, but after that you are free to conclude this quest by going to Harbour Town and talking to Carlos. As soon as you do, the Order warriors will pull out of town and this achievement is yours.
|Pandora's box
|"The Titan trap" completed
Chapter 3
After traversing the whole of the Volcano underground fortress, you'll meet with Ursegor. Kill his three followers and grab their skulls and splinters in any order you will; using the bust he gives you, and remembering to pick it up again after use. Once you have all three splinters, free Ursegor and you will receive the quest The Titan Trap, as well as Ursegor's skull. Bring the four skulls to the last door with the green glowing symbols and look at the four altars in front of it. From left to right, place the skulls as named in your inventory and the achievement is yours:
|The Traveler
|"Find all the teleport stones" completed
This secret achievement requires you to collect all 14 teleport stones. The quest will trigger when you recieve your first teleport stone - most likely the one Mendoza will give you at the start of chapter 2, if you ask - and end when you find #14 on a lizardman Priest before or after triggering chapter 4.
|"The Inquisitor is dead!" completed
After reforging the Titan Armor, head back into the Volcano Fortress, talk to Ursegor and then confront Mendoza. A conversation and the following fight occurs when you approach him. Don't let him hit you too often as he packs quite a punch. As soon as you land the killing blow, this secret achievement is yours.
|Titan Lord
|"Defeat the Titan!" completed
After Mendoza is dead, take the Skull of Ursegor and place it on the last altar to open the doors. Equip the Titan Armor, the Shield of the Titan Lord, and the Hammer of the Titan Lord if you haven't done so already (yes, even if you are a Mage, sadly), and stroll through the gates for the final fight. This is sort of an anti-climax, and at times frustrating, but keep at it. The key is to hit the titan with the Hammer of the Titan Lord 7 times. When he shoots the series of magic bullets at you, hold up your shield with [LT] to reflect the bolts back at him. This will stun the titan, enough for you to move up and hit him.
All the while, jump over his shockwave blasts and beams tracking the circle, and dodging the falling plates (the runes will flicker on stones that will fall, so move if you're on one). Prepare to fall down often. As a final few tips that helped, when you move onto a plate that appears, you can save your game safely. The same goes for using a healing potion. Don't save or drink a potion when standing on a plate with a blinking rune - the short loading lag will most likely have you halfway to a fiery bath when the loading screen clears.

"Art can take you to funny places," says Richard Artschwager on a rainy August afternoon in the modest one-bedroom apartment he shares with his wife, Ann. The couple, who met in 1991 while Ann was working at the Mary Boone Gallery, in New York, are in the process of downsizing. They recently sold their primary residence, a converted church in Hudson, New York, and have transformed Richard's nearby art studio into a live-and-work space. These days they divide their time between the Hudson Valley studio and their Manhattan pied-à-terre in Chelsea's London Terrace. The 88-year-old Artschwager remains every bit the artist of his youth—thoughtful and witty, with a scientific bent.
He took a decidedly hands-off approach to the organization of his 50-year career retrospective, on view at the Whitney Museum through February 3, 2013, giving curator Jennifer Gross full authority to arrange the show. "He doesn't have an agenda for his work, and he doesn't feel compelled to strategize or control how it is received," says Gross. In fact, Artschwager confides, "I have never thought or acted in terms of a career." He rejects everything that smacks of clubbiness among artists, dealers, curators, and collectors, saying, "The concept of an 'art world' goes against anything that I understand about art."
What is important to Artschwager is making art, and he continues to produce new pieces, including four Formica "piano" sculptures based on sketches from his 1963–65 notebooks for a fall exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in Rome. He recently painted two landscapes as well as a portrait inspired by a business-card image from a Chinese restaurant in New York. The portrait, according to Ann, has morphed into a person who appears occasionally in his work, whom she believes to be his mother. "I start early, and whatever runs through my mind I take note of," Artschwager says of his daily studio routine.
Consistently described as a quirky outsider who over the course of his career has operated on the margins of such popular movements as Minimalism, Pop, and Conceptualism, Artschwager is in fact a consummate insider. His first solo exhibition took place at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1965. His champion there was the fast-talking director Ivan Karp, who singled out Artschwager's Formica sculptures from the hundreds of submissions sent to the gallery each week. Artschwager stayed with Castelli for nearly 25 years before decamping to Mary Boone in 1991 and then to Gagosian in the late '90s. Though his work defies easy categorization, he has always had powerhouse dealers backing his production and a steady stream of supporters both at home and abroad.
"The idea that he's eccentric or an outsider really isn't true. It's just that he's an amazing amalgamation of his parents, his education, where he grew up—and then he's incredibly smart," says Robert Monk, director of the Gagosian Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York. Monk considers Artschwager a "father figure," and the two have been close since the mid '70s, when Monk directed Castelli Graphics. When asked if Artschwager was part of the legendary inner circle of Castelli artists that included Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, Monk replies, "There was no inner circle. It was probably one of the greatest stables ever, but as far as how people got there, it was all almost happenstance."
So why does the perception of Artschwager as an outsider persist? His life and his improbable path toward becoming an artist are filled with twists and turns that read like a novel. He was born in Washington, D.C., to Ernst Artschwager, a Protestant from East Prussia who worked as a scientist and suffered from tuberculosis, and Eugenia (née Brodsky), a Jewish Ukrainian born in Kiev who studied at the Corcoran School of Art. The family moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 1935, to ameliorate his father's health problems. In 1941 Artschwager began his studies in mathematics and chemistry at Cornell University with the intention of becoming a scientist, but he left school after two years when he was drafted into the army. He participated in the Battle of the Bulge and was subsequently posted to Frankfurt, where he moved high-level prisoners across the continent. Among them was Nikolaus von Falkenhorst, a German general whom he brought to Oslo to be put on trial by the Norwegians for war crimes. Artschwager was later assigned to an intelligence position in Vienna, where he met Elfriede Wejmelka, who would become his first wife. Eventually he returned to the U.S. and completed his studies at Cornell.
"Richard is a true intellectual who speaks three languages fluently, can play Beethoven and Mendelssohn from memory on the piano, and traveled to Europe three times on an ocean liner before he was 10 years old," says Ann. "He even spent a year living in Munich in the early 1930s."
For all of his education and experience abroad, Artschwager found himself at loose ends after graduating from college and moving to New York City. Taking advantage of the GI Bill, he attended Amédée Ozenfant's School of Fine Arts in New York for a year and then took a series of odd jobs, becoming a lathe operator, a baby photographer, a bank clerk, and an apprentice cabinetmaker before finding steady employment in 1956 as a commercial furniture designer. A 1960 commission from the Catholic Church to build portable altars for ships inspired him to start producing small wall objects made of wood and Formica.
The practical skills that he developed as a craftsman, along with his use of unconventional materials like Formica wood-grain laminate, Celotex ceiling insulation panels, and rubberized horsehair, distinguished Artschwager's efforts from those of his contemporaries. His scientific training also came to bear on his work. In both his early grisaille paintings on Celotex and his Formica sculptures, Artschwager edited down the idea of the object to its most basic components, removing items from their everyday contexts and placing them under scrutiny in much the same manner as a scientist working in a laboratory.
When asked about his 1964 sculpture Table with Pink Tablecloth, Artschwager once responded, "It's not sculptural. It's more like a painting pushed into three dimensions. It's a picture of wood." Artschwager made this idea more explicit in later pieces like Splatter Chair I, 1992, in which the object is flattened and splayed out on a wall, creating a hybrid form. Conversely, his paintings of modern buildings and bourgeois interiors and his photorealistic portraits are sculptural in their presentation. Using imagery culled from newspaper photographs that he enlarges with a grid technique, Artschwager paints onto the nubby and uneven Celotex surface. He borders these works with heavy, fabricated Formica or mirrored frames, propelling his paintings further into the three-dimensional realm.
Artschwager's views on the autonomy of art were recorded in his 1990 essay "Art and Reason," which he urges me to read. He calls his representations of everyday items like a chair, a dresser, or a table "useless objects," and they are meant to be experienced both as the image of an object and as the object itself. "The best chance for me to be understood," says Artschwager, "is for the viewer to look at the work." The concept of experiencing art in the moment without preconceived ideas or expectations lies at the core of Artschwager's practice. "Some things that happen to be useless can be commercialized, but that doesn't define them," he admits in a revealing aside that lays bare his practical, no-nonsense nature.
A lesser-known and rarely displayed aspect of Artschwager's output are his site-specific interventions. While teaching at the University of California, Davis, in 1968, Artschwager created the blp, a lozenge-shaped graphic symbol produced in such media as wood, horsehair, and paint. In 1968 the blps were the subject of his first solo exhibition at the Konrad Fischer gallery in Düsseldorf, where he spray-painted the symbol throughout the gallery spaces. "The Europeans absolutely loved his work immediately, and that was very much part of the whole Castelli momentum—where a lot of American artists were collected by people like Giuseppe Panza and Dr. Peter Ludwig and many other great collectors," says Monk. Artschwager also installed 100 blps in unlikely locations throughout New York's Whitney Museum in 1968, drawing attention to the architecture of the Breuer building. That same year he showed 40 blps in the Kunsthalle in Bern and at various locations throughout the city, and in 1971 he installed a series of blps at sites around the city of Utrecht. A solo exhibition at New York's Clocktower Gallery found Artschwager blping three floors of the landmark municipal building where the gallery is housed while engineering the hands of the building's nonfunctioning clock to race forward and backward simultaneously.
"I think Richard would say that the blps are an important part of his work," says Gross, who approached New York's High Line Art curator Cecilia Alemani about creating a site-specific intervention to coincide with Artschwager's Whitney retrospective. In all, there are 10 blps situated along the length of the High Line, fabricated in an array of media and ranging in size from 18 inches to 6 feet tall. The site-specific installation will remain for the duration of the Whitney show.
"So many younger people think he's just the cat's pajamas," Monk declares. Artschwager could always count among his admirers Robert Gober, Albert Oehlen, Chuck Close, and Malcom Morley, and he has been credited with influencing 1980s artists like Haim Steinbach, Meyer Vaisman, Ashley Bickerton, and John Armleder. An even younger generation has also come to see the importance of his legacy. Sculptor Rachel Harrison paid homage to Artschwager in her 2009 installation at the Venice Biennale by re-creating his Table with Pink Tablecloth, and Rob Pruitt, a former Artschwager assistant who affectionately calls him "part sage, part nutty professor," organized an exhibition of his paintings at the Carlson Gallery in London in 2011.
In recent years, Artschwager's paintings and drawings have focused largely on the winding roads and Southwest mesas of his youth. The atmospheric New Mexico landscape is hardly a new subject for the artist, who began painting desert scenes in the 1950s, but his latest versions are infused with brighter colors than the earlier works. Among these, Landscape with Macadam, 2007, depicts a wide road leading out over the edge of a horizon; it appears to be a meditation on what lies ahead. What, if anything, I ask Artschwager, does he have left to do artistically? In his typical fashion, he offers a thoughtful yet laconic response. "Try anything, because you only get one life to live."

Esquire Magazine Names Apple's Head Designer Among "Best & Brightest Who Will Revolutionize The World"

Apple's head industrial designer, Jonathan Ive, has been the recipient of numerous awards since the introduction of the Bondi-Blue iMac. Today, Esquire Magazine has given him a new one. The men's magazine has included Mr. Ive in a list of what it says are the 43 "Best and Brightest People Who Will Revolutionize the World." The 43 honorees are grouped in four categories: Society, Business, Science, and Culture. Mr. Ive was included in the culture category. From a press release issued by Esquire:
Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, CEOs David Neeleman (JetBlue) and Ed Breen (Tyco), NASA's Mars specialist Dave Lavery, genetic scientist Eugene Chan, and actors Samantha Morton and Ryan Gosling are among the 43 innovators Esquire magazine has named to its "Best and Brightest" list of emerging leaders who are reshaping our world.
The "Best and Brightest" constitutes a roster of extraordinary talent, representing, as former President Bill Clinton writes in his foreword to the issue, the "deep well of greatness" that exists in America. The list is divided into four categories: society, culture, business and science. For more than a year, Esquire editors researched, interviewed, discussed, and identified scores of pioneers who are blazing the trail to a better world.
"This issue is about hope," says Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger. "The search in and of itself was inspiring. It became clear that ours is a land of dreamers who become doers. And as amazing as our honorees are, they merely represent the potential that is manifest in our country."
The full list of recipients in the Culture category:
Jonathan Safran Foer - Author
Jenny Gage - Photographer
Anna Gaskell - Photographer
Ryan Gosling - Actor
Jonathan Ive - Head Designer of Apple
Charlie Kaufman - Screenwriter
Nicole Krauss - Author
Paul Liebrandt - Chef
Malerie Marder - Photographer
William Massie - Architect
Samantha Morton - Actress
The Neptunes - Music producers
Van Toffler - President of MTV
Will Wright - Creator of Sims computer games
The magazine says that all of the honorees in the list will be profiled in the issues that hits stands on November 7th. You can read the full list of recipients in the Esquire press release. You can find more information on Esquire at the magazine's Web site. It should be noted that Jonathan Ive is British born. Though the Esquire press release indirectly suggests that its list is of US citizens, the list is actually of people who have had an impact on "American life."
The Mac Observer Spin:Congrats to Mr. Ive for racking up another award. We find it very interesting that his award comes in the "Culture" category, as opposed to the "Business" category. Esquire seems to be saying that Mr. Ive's designs for Apple have had a bigger impact on US culture than they have on business. That's a very intriguing angle.
