Cecil Beaton's photographs of patrician models in Bendel dresses posing before Jackson Pollocks in the March 1951 issue of Vogue must've made a deep impression on David Reed. The works on view in "Painting Paintings (David Reed) 1975" at Gagosian's Madison Avenue space—vertical canvases with splashy stripes in crimson and jet—call to mind early Dior, parties in Capri, Grace Kelly at midnight. Artist Christopher Wool and curator Katy Siegel, who organized the show, pair the artist's older works with pieces from Joyce Pensato, Barry Le Va, Andy Warhol, and more, creating a cocktail atmosphere you'll be sorry to leave.

New York has always been a haven for individuals and appetites more
recherché than anywhere else in the United States, so it's no surprise that some of our most acclaimed queer imaginations—James Baldwin, Merce Cunningham, Djuna Barnes, and Andy Warhol, to name just a handful—were forged and nurtured by this great metropolis. "Gay Gotham," organized by the MCNY's Donald Albrecht, Stephen Vider, and Whitney Donhauser, brings together a vast array of paintings, photographs, letters, and assorted ephemera from the likes of Greer Lankton, Leonard Bernstein, Bill T. Jones, Lincoln Kirstein, Harmony Hammond, and more to celebrate this city's incandescent yet still too hidden queer history.

Kader Attia is a poet, critic, anthropologist, and unrepentant fabulist. For the artist's second solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin, he brings us Reason's Oxymorons, 2015, a multichannel video installation—which made its debut at the Thirteenth Biennale de Lyon—that features "European and African ethnographers, psychiatric and philosophical practitioners, and theorists discussing topics grouped under titles including 'Genocide,' 'Totem and Fetish,' 'Reason and Politics,' and 'Trance.'"

Pleasure and death, sex and terror—Mark Leckey's subversive forays into the collective hangover that is modern-day, world-suffocating Pop have been making audiences gasp and laugh for nearly twenty years. The British artist's survey at MoMA PS1—his first major retrospective in the United States, cocurated by the museum's Peter Eleey, Jocelyn Miller, and Oliver Shultz, along with MoMA's Stuart Comer—will make me and you and everyone we know more and more hardcore.

There's a Beverly Buchanan oil pastel drawing, Georgia Shack with Datura Blooms, 2003, that shows the titular structure, an oddly sentient thing, nearly engulfed by an orange sky and monstrous plants—a landscape informed by Edvard Munch, the horrors of the American South, and the artist's extraordinary personal history. "Beverly Buchanan—Ruins and Rituals," part of the Brooklyn Museum's yearlong programming called "Year of Yes," celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, will shed a necessary spotlight on this extraordinary and overlooked artist.

MacArthur "genius" Tara Donovan makes spectacular mountains from molehill-like objects. Things such as tar paper, coffee filters, and buttons get multiplied into infinity and transformed into landscape-like sculptures. The artist's newest body of framed, wall-mounted works turn delicate accretions of styrene cards into gorgeous Op-style abstractions.

Take a gander at Francis Picabia's Portrait d'un couple (Portrait of a Couple), 1942–43: A pair of doofus, dead-eyed lovers gaze out onto nothingness, while in the background a man holds a woman aloft—à la Fragonard, but waaaaay sicker—beneath a particularly bad rendering of a magnolia tree. Sex machines, hookers, race cars, nihilism—Picabia's art is the kind that, despite the dazzling march of progress, reflects the merciless imbecility of history and humanity. He was a brilliant thinker, maker, snob, and slut who played art's endgame faster and harder than perhaps anyone else. "Francis Picabia: Our Heads Are Round so Our Thoughts Can Change Direction," the first survey in the United States to chart the entirety of this fabulously demented artist's career, will feature more than two hundred works: paintings, drawings, periodicals, a vast array of assorted ephemera, and one film.

Edelson's raven-haired seductress is surrounded by hundreds of the artist's creepy-creature collages as well as "Woman Rising," her series of painted silver gelatin prints from 1973.

The oscillating cosmic shard that General Zod and his cronies were imprisoned by in Superman II (1980) feels a lot like the shiny, supernatural objects John McCracken produced for almost fifty years. The artist left this dimension in 2011, but his inimitable brand of Martian Minimalism continues to seduce.

"Inventing Downtown: Artist-Run Galleries in New York City, 1952–1965," scrupulously curated by NYU Steinhardt's Melissa Rachleff, is a historiographic survey of thinking, making, showing, and collaborating during a pivotal moment in the history of this city's avant-garde. The exhibition, which starts at Fifty-One East Fourth Street (Tanager Gallery) and travels all the way up to Fifteen West Fifty-Seventh Street (Green Gallery), introduces us to the nascent, crackerjack goings-on from some of New York's finest, such as Richard Bellamy, Lee Lozano, Lois Dodd, Lucas Samaras, Dan Flavin, Fay Lansner, Red Grooms, Stan VanDerBeek, Phyllis Yampolsky, Mark di Suvero, and Yoko Ono, among countless others.

Oh but to be a Royal Meissen porcelain, handled with the most tender of care and on lofty display, in Henry Clay Frick's magnificently appointed mansion. We are invited to inhabit the interior lives of these stately objects in "Porcelain, No Simple Matter: Arlene Shechet and the Arnhold Collection," which commingles twelve of Shechet's perverse Meissen-inspired works (pieces the artist made during residencies at the house's factory in Germany a few years ago) with approximately 140 originals, selected and organized by the artist herself. This is the most appropriate way to enter the summer—in splendor.

Painter Jack Whitten is a scrupulous, stealthy abstractionist who understood, very early on, that paint had sculptural properties as well. The artist's first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth at its West Twenty-Second Street space pulls together works from his "Portals" and "Quantum Walls" series—images that feel as vast and uneasy as a starless night—created between 2015 and 2017. Also on view is Quantum Man (The Sixth Portal), 2016, a dramatically conceived sculpture made of acrylic, Cretan walnut, lead, Serbian oak, and marble.

"A Pen of All Work," organized by the New Museum's Gary Carrion-Murayari and Massimiliano Gioni, is the largest survey of Pettibon's art to date, with more than eight hundred drawings spanning nearly fifty years of perverse peregrinations.

For "Shabby but Thriving," Burns presents a new two-channel video, Living Room, 2017–, which reconfigures parts of the New Museum's architecture—its stairwell and basement—as sentient spaces within a living body. The video serves as the connective tissue for the artist's installation in the museum's fifth-floor galleries.

Marisa Merz—one of Arte Povera's most profound figureheads—has spent much of her life gazing heavenward. We see it in her levitating aluminum "Living Sculptures" of the 1960s and in more recent paintings of female spirits, coruscating and resplendent. Merz's retrospective at the Met Breuer, "The Sky Is a Great Space"—her first in the US—covers five decades of this wide-ranging intellect's enigmatic production via sculpture, installation, drawing, and painting.

Giorgio de Chirico was Surrealism's grand architect, a designer of eerie buildings and empty piazzas culled directly from the collective subconscious. Giulio Paolini, a rigorous Conceptualist who's more than a little Surrealism-adjacent—and a longtime admirer of de Chirico—often dives into the artist's haunted cityscapes, creating works that feel like revelations discovered in dreams, which always seem to exist only in traces upon waking. The artists' exhibition at CIMA is a dialogue in code, metaphysical and gorgeous.

In a text on Hanne Darboven's Kulturgeschichte 1880–1983 (Cultural History 1880–1983), 1980–83, from the February 2017 issue of Artforum, Bruce Hainley discusses the artist's inveterate smoking. Indeed, a habit so simultaneously glamorous, malodorous, and cancerous makes perfect sense when thinking about this glossolalic and image-drunk roman à clef that conflates Darboven's dark personal history with that of Germany's. Her immersive, 1,609-piece installation from Dia's permanent collection has not been on view in the US for more than ten years—see it now.

Each painting in Baldessari's latest series, "Miro and Life in General," 2016, pairs a detail from a particular Joan Miró painting with a classic Hollywood film still and a single word, such as "reliable," "necessary," and "true."

Using these forms to create what have been dubbed "Neo Geo" compositions, Halley's "cells" began to describe what he perceives to be the rigid divisions of social spaces.

A resource that, given the current political climate in the US and Europe, could hardly be more timely.

Playful and vibrantly colorful, the final results feature figurative ciphers in various stages of relief—both models for producing further paintings and sculptural artifacts of a painterly process completed with flourish.

Untitled 2014–2016 (Curry for the Soul of the Forgotten) features a large bronze pot surrounded by projections of cooking which were recorded in Chiang Mai, Thailand (where, notably, the artist helped found the Land Foundation, an art and environmental project, in the late 1990s), and alludes to recent uprisings and political struggles in the country. Installed in a separate room, the multipanel painting Untitled 2016 (Freedom Cannot be Simulated, South China Morning Post, September 26-27-28-29-30, 2014), 2016, across which are emblazoned the words FREEDOM CANNOT BE SIMULATED, features collaged pages from the South China Morning Post dating from the time of the so-called Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong, during which protestors challenged the Chinese electoral system.

In the spirit of Wilson's dematerialized abstractions, a weekly program of performances, readings, lectures, and events will take place at this institution and around different locations throughout Berlin for the duration of the show.

This show, titled "Non-Fiction," is the second such collaboration between the two institutions, redistributing works by Kara Walker, Henry Taylor, Theaster Gates, Robert Gober, David Hammons, and Deana Lawson, among others, back into the city to address the systemic violence perpetrated on black people.

The first North American retrospective for Native American artist, activist, poet, and performer Jimmie Durham, titled "At the Center of the World," is a rare chance to see work from a major American artist who not only left the US in 1987 but has since then intentionally withheld much of his practice from audiences here. With close to two hundred objects dating from 1970 to the present, the exhibition will notably feature his sculptural assemblages, often made from natural materials such as bone, stone, and wood. Finally, we have a chance to at least glimpse the edges of Durham's expansive world.

Salle's latest large-scale paintings are based on enlargements of pages from 1960s issues of Life magazine, but the artist has worked and reworked the compositions so much that the source material has become utterly obscured in collage-like free associations of figurative and abstract imagery. Photographic, painterly, and filmic, these vibrant works evoke movement while also managing to make time stop dead in its tracks.

At first glance the French painter's latest energetic compositions appear wholly abstract. On closer inspection, however, Congnée's "Crowds," 2014–16, reveal themselves as such—landscapes filled with throngs of people so densely packed together there is barely room to breathe.

TravelPod Member ReviewsNow Sapphire Riviera Cancun Puerto Morelos
This resort blew us away! Not only is their main restaurant (the buffet) delicious, but all of their sit-down places are amazing too. And each restaurant has their vegetarian items clearly marked, so that was a big plus for a non-meat eater like myself. The staff was friendly, and the 24 hour room service was unreal. We ordered room service almost every night! We were here for a wedding and the staff did an amazing job with that too!

Comminuted fractures of the proximal ulna are severe injuries often associated with bone and ligament injuries of the elbow joint (Monteggia lesion, radial head fractures, dislocation of the elbow). The treatment of these fractures is very demanding and the functional results often fairly mediocre due to associated injuries. Based on a single-center retrospective study, we report the results of the treatment of these fractures fixed using a double-plate technique. The aim was to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of this fixation mode and to compare it with other fractures series using a single plate fixation (in terms of bone union, elbow joint function, and complications stemming from the plates). PATIENTS AND
Eighteen patients sustained a comminuted proximal ulna fracture between 2002 and 2006. The fractures were associated in five cases with a Monteggia type lesion, in two cases with elbow dislocation, and in four cases with a Mason 3 radial head fracture. Four patients had an open fracture. These comminuted ulna fractures included nine Mayo Clinic IIIB fractures. Bone fixation was performed with two third-cylinder tubular plates, one plate on each side of the proximal ulna. This allows more versatile solutions for screw insertion. Functional assessment (according to Broberg and Morrey) and radiological evaluation (bone healing) were provided at 6 months and at the longest follow-up by an independent surgeon.
Sixteen of 18 patients achieved bone union. No septic complications occurred and no hardware removal was required on patient request. In 67% of the cases, the Morrey score indicated excellent or good results with a mean score of 82.
There are no reports in the literature on the technical point of fixation concerning complex fractures of the ulna. Two plates mean the possibility of twice the number of screw insertions for epiphyseal reconstruction . This fixation remains easy to perform and provides stable anatomic reconstruction of the ulna.

SGM Metals: 1922 Weimar Germany & Modern Day America Look Very Similar w/ QE3 Here
Normalcy bias persists today because admitting the danger we are in as a nations is far too frightening. The real danger comes from ignoring the signs & waking up one day when the impact of dollar destruction has ravaged our ability to function.
The cause of the immense acceleration of prices that occurred during the German hyperinflation of 1922–23 seemed unclear & unpredictable to those who lived through it, but in retrospect was relatively simple. The Treaty of Versailles imposed a huge debt on Germany that could be paid only in gold or foreign currency. With its gold depleted, the German government attempted to buy foreign currency with German currency, but this caused the German Mark to fall rapidly in value, which greatly increased the number of Marks needed to buy more foreign currency. This caused German prices of goods to rise rapidly which increase the cost of operating the German government which could not be financed by raising taxes. The resulting budget deficit increased rapidly & was financed by the central bank creating more money. When the German people realized that their money was rapidly losing value, they tried to spend it quickly. This increase in monetary velocity caused still more rapid increase in prices which created a vicious cycle. This placed the government & banks between two unacceptable alternatives:
Once you start printing money it is really, really hard to stop. By late 1922, inflation was officially out of control. An article in The Economist described what happened next….
Prices roared up. So did unemployment, modest as 1923 began. As October ended, 19% of metal-workers were officially out of work, & half of those left were on short time. Feeble attempts had been made to stabilize prices. Some German states had issued their own would-be stable currency.
Adam Fergusson wrote: The renter classes who depended on savings or pensions, & anyone on a fixed income, were soon in penury, their possessions sold. Barter often took over from purchase. By law rents could not be raised, which allowed employers to pay low wages and impoverished landlords in a country where renting was the norm. The professional classes — lawyers, doctors, scientists, professors — found little demand for their services. In due course, the trade unions, no longer able to strike for higher wages (often uncertain what to ask for, so fast became the mark's fall from day to day), went to the wall, too.
Workers regularly got wage increases during this time, but they never seemed to keep up with the horrible inflation that was raging all around them. So they steadily became poorer even though the amount of money they were bringing home was steadily increasing.
People started to lose all faith in the currency & in the financial system. This had an absolutely devastating effect on the German population. American author Pearl Buck wrote:
"The cities were still there, the houses not yet bombed and in ruins, but the victims were millions of people. They had lost their fortunes, their savings; they were dazed & inflation-shocked & did not understand how it had happened to them & who the foe was who had defeated them. They worked hard enough; & lost, too, were the old values of morals, of ethics, of decency."Yet they had lost their self-assurance, their feeling that they themselves could be the masters of their own lives if only
Of course not everyone in Germany was opposed to the rampant inflation that was happening. There were some business people that became very wealthy during this time. The hyperinflation rendered their past debts meaningless, & by investing paper money (that would soon be worthless) into assets that would greatly appreciate thanks to inflation, many of them made out like bandits.
The key was to take your paper money & spend it on something that would hold value (or even increase in value) as rapidly as possible.
By the end of the decade unemployment really started to take hold in Germany as the following statistics reveal….
September 1928 – 650,000 unemployed
September 1929 – 1,320,000 unemployed
September 1930 – 3,000,000 unemployed
September 1931 – 4,350,000 unemployed
September 1932 – 5,102,000 unemployed
January 1933 – 6,100,000 unemployed
By the end of 1932, over 30 percent of all German workers were unemployed. This created an environment where people were hungry for "change". On January 30th, 1933 Hitler was sworn in as chancellor, & the rest is history. So where will all of this money printing take America?]
This painful bankrupting of the German people through the misapplication of failed economic policies is what was responsible for the rise to power of Hitler & the subsequent mission of a mad man to conquer Europe. When people are broken they become very susceptible which results in them welcoming radical change.
One major distinction between the lessons of the Weimar Republic & our modern scenario is the fact that when the German currency was destroyed it mostly affected the occupants of the nation as it was a national currency, but in our crisis the FED is eroding the world reserve currency which carries with it global consequences as it affects all fiat currencies that are valued in relation to the dollar itself. For this reason other nations & central banks will be forced, in the name of survival, to work together to fight of their common enemy (dollar devaluation & inflation) so that they can maintain their exports in this globalized economy. Now that the FED has blatantly announced they will directly bailout the US mega banks for the indefinite future with at least $40 billion per month to purchase bad mortgage backed security investments off their balance sheets to recapitalize them & supposedly loan to the public, the world is bracing for impact. The FED also slipped in that they would continue Operation Twist which would also produce an additional roughly $45 billion every month to purchase Treasuries to prop up the govt. at the same time, so in total the world was just informed the FED is so desperate that they are willing to bailout their bankster buddies & the govt. both every month for the foreseeable future. This Hail Mary pass will dump $85 BILLION EVERY MONTH INTO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY & other countries are not delusional about what this will do to the dollars value nor what they need to do to protect their currencies or economies.
"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it" (a loose interpretation of George Santayana's famous quote from 'Reason in Common Sense') This is your opportunity to brush up on what has really happened in the past 100 years in order to identify the path we are on so that we may avoid arriving at the same destination the poor souls in Germany did. We are in a full blown currency war that could very well morph into a nasty trade war which then could most certainly ultimately shift into an all out world war if this thing isn't reigned it soon. Learn from history that at the very minimum the average persons wealth will be sacrificed in the name of protecting the mega banks unless you remove yourself from the currency they are waging the currency war with. Instead of being tossed around like a rag doll hold your wealth in the one asset that can, & historically always has, protected those who hold it from the wages of the currency war which is gold & silver bullion. Establish your "Currency War Safe Zone" by hedging your net worth with physical gold & silver bullion & begin to participate in the sound money debate. Remember that it is a far better strategy to PREPARE your portfolio than to attempt to REPAIR it after the damage has begun. Tick, tock.

This weekend marks the professional debut for GEICO Honda's newest dirt assassin, Matt Bisceglia. Part of the awesomeness of turning pro is finally donning the full team kit, as Matt clearly appreciates here. Different gear, same ripper. Check out Matt at Unadilla on Saturday.
To answer the ongoing question about what ill ride next year 1st I'm trying to decide to keep the dream alive? or go ride for someone else.. - Chad Reed
Probably the biggest question mark in the top tier of riders as far as 2014 is concerned has been Chad Reed. Speculators have said everything from retirement to switching brands to graduating to four wheels. Chad hasn't answered anything yet, but it looks like the question is still up in the air for him, too.

News of the Week:
With the Motocross of Nations fast approaching, we now have four teams confirmed: New Zealand (Cody Cooper, Rhys Carter, Kayne Lamont), Ireland (Graeme Irwin, Martin Barr, Stuart Edmonds), Germany (Ken Roczen, Max Nagl, Dennis Ulrich), and France (Gautier Paulin, Jordi Tixier, Christophe Charlier).
The big question is what will Team USA look like? If it's not Ryan Dungey, Ryan Villopoto, and Eli Tomac, there might be recall vote. And why is Marvin Musquin not on Team France? That is a question for the gods of moto, because no one on this planet can make sense of it.

Women's Ways of Making it in Rhetoric and Composition by Michelle Ballif
Book DescriptionThis volume explores how women in the fields of rhetoric and composition have succeeded, despite the challenges inherent in the circumstances of their work. Focusing on those women generally viewed as "successful" in rhetoric and composition, this volume relates their stories of successes (and failures) to serve as models for other women in the profession who aspire to "make it," too: to succeed as women academics in a sea of gender and disciplinary bias and to have a life, as well. Building on the gains made by several generations of rhetoric and composition scholars, this volume provides strategies for a newer generation of scholars entering the field and, in so doing, broadens the support base for women in the field by connecting them with a greater web of women in the profession. Offering frank discussion of professional and personal struggles as well as providing reference materials addressing these concerns, solid career advice, and inspirational narratives told by women who have "made it" in the field of rhetoric and composition, this work highlights such common concerns as: * dealing with sexism in the tenure and promotion process, * maintaining a balance between career and family, * struggling for scholarly and/or administrative respect, * mentoring junior women, * finding one's voice in scholarship, and * struggling to say "no" to unrewarded service work The profiles of individual successful women describe each woman's methods for success, examine the price each has paid for that success, and pass along the advice each has to offer other women who are beginning a career in the field or attempting to jumpstart an existing career. With resources and general advice for women in the field of rhetoric and composition to guide them through their careers-as they become, survive, and thrive as professionals in the discipline - this book is must-have reading for every woman making her career in the rhetoric and composition fields.

Vuokatti Shirt Pattern
Shelby Kaava #301 Vuokatti Pullover Instructions
The Vuokatti Pullover is a basic pattern useful for all your layer 1 and layer 2 shirt needs. The raglan sleeve gives a sleek but functional look, and many combinations of collars can give variation. The pattern can also be used to make short sleeved T-shirts.
Any light to medium weight fabric with 50% stretch. For example a wool knit (ONWA) or Polartec Powerdry (PTPD) for underwear, Polartec Powerstretch (PTPS) or Polartec 100 (PT100M) for a mid-layer.
When using material with less stretch one size larger is recommended. If a material has more stretch then choose one size smaller.
There are two options in the pattern. Option 1: A zipper can be inserted in the front of the pullover. Option 2: A stretch binding can be used for finishing the hems.
No seam or hem allowances in the pattern! If sewing using a flat-stitch technique seam allowances are not needed. If using the stretch binding then hem allowances are also not needed. Otherwise if making a normal seam add a 5 mm seam allowance and 2 cm hem allowance when cutting.
Possible modifications:

Currently the GeckoAppShell.handleGeckoMessage has special code for a couple of events. This should be moved out and made to use the general GeckoEventListener/GeckoEventResponder framework both for modularity and for performance (doing unnecessary string creation/comparison for each message isn't good).
I would like to use this opportunity to have the accessibility check be a java->js message. So I opened bug 752935, the patch there should remove the offending Accessibility:IsEnabled block from GeckoAppShell.handleGeckoMessage and make a GeckoEventListener.

Teen Blog
Dumbledore's office stands tall and majestic, every detail meticulously preserved even a year after the battle of Hogwarts. The shelves of hundreds of books, which have not been touched since, perhaps admired by Headmistress McGonagall, are still just as dusty as they were twenty years previously, and perhaps fifty years previous of that. The golden ceiling with intricate designs curves around the office in a bowl shape, perfect for the Astronomy tower, which stands just above Dumbledore's desk and has a perfect view of the twinkling stars above the Great Lake. Dumbledore's desk is arguably the most beautiful thing in the room; the golden metal is still somehow shining, next to the grand throne he sat in. His wand, the Elder Wand of the Deathly Hallows, still sits on his desk, and a perch next to it holds a brilliant, red and gold bird, more commonly known as a phoenix. Hundreds of previous headmaster paintings line the room, Dumbledore himself next to the desk. There was one problem. The room was completely dark.
Before long, a creaking sound emitted from the door, which signalled that the office was being opened. Broken into, to be more precise. A shadow fell across the already dark floor as footsteps enter the room at a steady pace. There is an intake of air and a pause. Then-
"Lumos Maxima," a low, gruff voice says, and a brilliant white light flooded across the room.
The wizard in question raises his wand to sweep the light around the space, illuminating the young wizard's facial features of high cheekbones with a square-like jawline, looking annoyingly handsome with his black, slicked back hair. It soon becomes clear from the Slytherin robes he wears that he is a current student at Hogwarts.
He strides forward with purpose, his wand light moving with him as he approaches Dumbledore's desk, then pauses, his eyes sweeping over the cluttered spot. He then reaches out and touches the Elder Wand, a gleam of almost a power hungry look in his eyes. He then looks up to the brilliant red and gold phoenix, his expression softening a little as he quickly pulls back his hand.
An odd, almost mystical creaking sound causes the young wizard to turn around to face a golden cabinet filled with tiny vials, all of which have a golden swirl in them, all of them identical. His eyes come to rest on a golden time turner that lies on top of the cabinet. He moves towards it slowly, his wand aloof, until a sudden voice makes him jump and he whirls around to face the wall with Dumbledore's portrait. He could have sworn that the painting was asleep, because he had planned it so.
"I wouldn't touch that, if I were you," Dumbledore says, smiling kindly down at the boy.
"Why should I listen to you?" the boy asks boldly. "You're nothing more than a painting."
"True," Dumbledore agrees with a wise nod. "I am nothing more than paint...and memory. Two things death cannot touch. I've been here long before you, and I'll be here long after you. I am much older, much wiser, and much cleverer. So I'd advise you...don't touch the cabinet."
The boy drops his wand in defeat and begins to pace, traces of tears in his eyes as he does. Dumbledore instantly picks up on this, and tilts his head as he watches him.
"You've lost someone, am I correct?" Dumbledore asks. "What was your name?"
"My father," the boy replies without hesitation. "Graves. Anthony Graves. Seventh year."
"Graves," Dumbledore says thoughtfully. "Yes, I knew your father. Percival Graves. He was a very fine Auror. Of course, he lived in North America. Is there any reason he sent you here to Hogwarts instead of Ilvermorney?"
"He wanted me to get experience abroad," Graves replies, his American accent more prominent through his British undertone that he had developed during his years at Hogwarts. "Also, Slytherin is much better than Pukwudgie, in my opinion."
Dumbledore chuckles at that, his soft, warm laugh causing Graves to give a slight laugh of his own.
"I agree with you there," Dumbledore says. "Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but your father was murdered, wasn't he?"
The boy instantly goes back to pacing, grief flashing through his eyes as he gives a slight nod, not looking at the painting as he examined the wood floor.
"And you will go to any length to avenge his death, and, if possible, bring him back?" Dumbledore asks.
"How did you know?" Graves asks, looking up at the painting in curiosity, his eyebrows narrowing in confusion.
"Because I was once the same way," Dumbledore replies. "But not with my father. With my sister, Ariana. I still don't know to this day if I was the one who killed her, or if it was the dark wizard, Grindelwald.
At the mention of the name, the boy's eyes grow wide, and, almost as if it's a trick of the light, his pupils grow darker than they are already, and his mouth forms a thin line. Something almost akin to fear can be seen in Dumbledore's eyes if one looks closely enough.
"I see the name is familiar to you," Dumbledore says, and pauses for a minute, his eyes flicking over to the wand on his desk before quickly looking back at the boy. "You seek the Deathly Hallows."
"Yes," Graves replies, glaring at the painting with sudden hatred. "Now, tell me, old man...if I take that wand, it'll be the most powerful wand in the world, yes? And it will do anything I want it to?"
"Graves, please...the people who have gone on the same path as you have only had misfortunes and led a life of disaster," Dumbledore tries to warn him. "Please don't do this."
"Too late, old man," Graves smirks, and in a sudden movement, he whips around to Dumbledore's desk, grabbing the Elder wand and pointing it at the painting threateningly. "I made up my mind a long time ago. And I would listen to yo, but you see...not all of us can live forever. Least of all, you."
There is no denying it now. Dumbledore is afraid. Anthony Graves, the decedent of the great auror Percival Graves, whom even Newt Scamander had been afraid of, has the Elder wand and is staring him down. There are perhaps a million things he can do with this wand, and all of them would not end well for Dumbledore. Graves faces the cabinet of memories, glaring at the painting.
"I want to go back and save my father," Graves says. "Tell med what I need to do. You said he was around when Newt Scamander was. Tell me what I need to do, or I'll destroy your pathetic little painting."
"What you are looking at are memories," Dumbledore says as Graves moves towards the golden cabinet. "All of them connect to one individual, in this case, Voldemort. Your father was part of the reason why the first dark wizard, Grindelwald, rose to power using the Hallows. This inspired Voldemort to do the same."
"It's easy, then," Graves says. "Destroy Newt Scamander for my father and help bring him back to complete his quest for the Hallows."
"It's a mysterious thing, time," Dumbledore cautions. "Powerful, and when meddled with, dangerous. You must use caution."
"Thank you, old man," Graves smirks. "But your services are no longer required."
Graves pulls the wand back and jabs it forwards, destroying the painting that held Dumbledore. The glass shards ricochet everywhere, flying around the office as the gold painting frame falls to the floor with a bang. He raises his wand again and swipes it in a circle above his head, causing the hundreds of other paintings of previous headmasters to fall from the ceiling, clanging down in a cacophony of bangs and shouts, thousands of shards of glass falling on the floor around him. Graves jabs his wand forward again, destroying the golden cabinet of memories. More glass falls to the floor, mixed with the still falling silver and multicoloured pieces and frames from the paintings that are still falling, hundreds of broken potion vials now added to the mix. They break on impact when they hit the ground, spilling the silver contents around Graves on the floor.
Graves summons the memory he's looking for, the one with Newt Scamander and his father, to get the exact date to travel back to. He quickly snatches the remaining memory from the destroyed cabinet, neatly labelled in cursive writing, 'New York, 1920.' He then quickly picks up the time turner as footsteps and shouts of alarm sound. He turns it multiple times before it seems to spin on its own, the office disappearing around him in a whirl of colors.
He enters a disoriented world, thousands of voices echoing around him as he clutches the Elder Wand and the time turner tightly. One voice stands out among the others.
"You're an interesting man, Mr. Scamander," it says.
And then there was chaos.
Remember when you were younger? How happy you were? How much you smiled and laughed? Even when times got rough, you found a reason to be happy; and you just were. You didn't have to fake anything.
Now you're a teenager. Some days you're happy, others you're sad, sometimes it's a mix of both. Somehow even when you are sad you find your wolf skin and you hide. You smile and say everything's alright.
Now you're at the point where you constantly feel tired, yet you can't seem to sleep. You smile and laugh, but you don't know why. You can't feel much. You refuse to believe you are sad or depressed. You notice that you are getting disconnected, yet you refuse to say you feel lonely.
Then you go to a have frozen river. You sit by the bay. You get lost in your own head. Your eyes look all around. A gap in the river seems to catch your attention. It feels like you are being sucked in but your stuck. You start to think. You think about how painful it would be to fall in and get hypothermia. But how painless it would be get caught under the ice. It will only hurt for a second. You think to yourself.
You stop your thoughts by standing up. As you're walking you can see yourself jumping into the gap. You can see yourself getting caught under the ice. You walk quickly away, still pretending to be okay.
Yet now, every time you see something it do it with, you think how? You can see yourself doing it. You pass by rope and the first thing you think is, It would be too painful. You pass by razor's and think, It takes too long.
Remember when you were younger and never had to worry about anything? When you were always truly happy, no matter what was going on. When mommy and daddy would fight, and daddy would take out his anger on you. But you hide it well. You hid it with that bright smile that was unbreakable. It didn't matter if kids were being mean. It didn't matter if the teacher said something to your parents about you not being smart. It didn't matter. It didn't matter because no matter what you were always happy. Never lose that happiness.
Still, frozen in place.
Is a snowflake so unique?
A dime a dozen?

"What just happened"? That was the question I asked myself out loud after fininshing the final page of The Smaller Evil. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it--but that's what I liked about it, and that's why I think you should try it out yourself.
The Smaller Evil is about a guy named Armand who is dealing with anxiety, among other things. He meets an interesting fellow named Beau and follows him to a self help retreat center. Right away Armand does not fit in and stuggles with the new group so he decides to leave the retreat. His exit does't last long, as he is a witness to a pretty sad event that brings him back to the compound. But once he's back things do not go as he expected. Is he crazy? Are the people at the compound crazy? Is it us, the reader who has gone mad? Read it and decide for yourself.
Crisp, fresh air pillowed itself in my lungs and drifted out back into the unpolluted atmosphere of the castle's surrounding city. With a lazy breath, I scanned the horizons in an attempt to subside my inevitable boredom and prove myself a worthy citizen. Plucking small forms out of the evening sun miles away gave me a sense of importance without having to do anything involving human-oriented interaction. That, of course, was Ross's job. Shifting from a family of giants off in the distance, my eyes swooped into the townspeople's dwellings. With a quick scan, I found Ross tending to a small cluster of children. A girl wearing a makeshift knight costume was explaining the dilemma to him as a tiny boy clutched a fiddle to his chest behind her. With a slow nod, Ross straightened and began to gently scold the three boys standing sheepishly off to the side. Once he had cleared his rules over with the young boys, he sauntered off, but not before the tiny fiddler tugged on his shirt and handed Ross a slightly wilted yellow flower from the fields just outside the city's west gate. I didn't need any visual confirmation to feel the large smile that had formed on the huge teen's mouth—the very smile had sent shockwaves through my spine—but was this a good vibration? Nevertheless, I had winced at the feeling. Deciding I had enough time to myself, my fancy robes fluttered around the tower's corners and through the stone corridors. Just as I reached the large wooden doors to the outside world, my mother grabbed me by the collar. "Kai, be a dear and go run this to Mrs. Mayweather. It's for my… medicine." She pressed an envelope into my hands and twirled around to tend to kingdom affairs. My mother's disease isn't rare, but not common either. She suffers from a mental illness called lycanthropy, or in simpler terms, the belief that one's self is a werewolf. Personally, I have never seen a werewolf before, but I know for sure that my mother is not one. She and my aunt were born into a family of wizards and mages. With a quick bound out the door, I scattered my thoughts and trotted down the main road. I branched off to the left and then to the left once more, into the more quieter and docile, Maior district. The peaceful district sent my feelings aflutter. My stress melted away more and more with every step I took. The tiny hum of life blew all around me—its soft whispers filling my head. An elderly woman stepped out of the cottage door and smiled at me. "Ah, Mrs. Mayweather. You were expecting me?" I asked, skepticism prickling along my tone. "Bah, don't worry 'bout it young man, come inside. Come. Come. I have what you need." She made her way towards her medicine cabinet effortlessly, somehow avoiding all the clutter in the tiny home like it wasn't even there. "Here, take this. Your mother's probably pacing at the doorway already," she then added with a wink, "Threw a little something extra in there for 'ya." I caught the package she tossed in my general direction and watched as Mrs. Mayweather walked further into her cramped living quarters. "Well, what more do 'ya want from me? Get outta here, boy!" Hastily, I closed the door to the elderly woman's house and hurried back to the castle. As I was twining through streets and alleyways, I slit the package open and examined the contents. Inside was my mother's pill canister as well as an unknown bottle of more pills. The mysterious bottle wasn't labeled at all its white cap read: "PUSH DOWN AND TURN LEFT." In all caps. Fiddling with the somewhat sketchy drugs, I ran into the back of a large, middle-aged man. He spun around and gave me a look of disgust. The impact had enough force to push me back and make me drop the various medicine. "Oh, uh, I'm sorry sir. I'll just be taking these now." I reached for the mysterious bottle Mrs. Mayweather gave me, but he pulled his hand out of reach. "What are you doing with these?" He said with a snort. "Oh, do you know what they're for?" He looked at me like I was crazy. I kind of was—carrying around drugs I didn't even know what were used for. "These pills are for when situations get hairy. They can stop a beast of tremendous size dead in its tracks. An overdose can even be lethal, just one of these can kill a person in less than an half an hour. What would a boy like you be doing with pills like these, hmm?" I stuttered, but couldn't work out my words. I knew I looked like an idiot to these commoners, but I jumped and whined at the man anyways. "Give them back, they're mine!" I yelled to no use. The man held them higher above my head, my eyes glaring into the sun. "Give. Them. Back!" I said between jumps. "They were given to me by a local pharmacist. She prescribes my family's medications." My reasoning had no effect against the solid man. I growled in frustration and lunged into the air, swiping the drugs out of his hand and ducking as I hit the ground—his heavy fist swinging just above me. I twirled low to the ground, my leg kicked out and tripped the man. I hit him in the jaw as he went down and bolted out of there. Oh geez, there's no way mom won't find out about the tough, perfectly-good citizen getting beat up by a scrawny teenager over mysterious drugs. Taking the long way home was my largest regret; the silhouette of my mother blocking any entrance back into castle. "Kai, give me the pills." I handed my mom her prescribed medications. "All of them." She said sternly. I gingerly handed them over, looking shy and innocent. She snatched them up into her hands and stalked off. I was in for a big lecture later and there is no medicine that could heal whatever my mom was going to do.
Later that day, I found myself leaning against the railing of the castle tower. I've been hanging around up here quite frequently lately--maybe a little too much. My eyes drifted ever-so-slowly downwards as they followed the setting sun. The smooth, evening sounds of the kingdom drifted through the air. The pounding cranium that sat upon my neck fell into my hands. I ran my fingers through my silky black hair. What am I doing? I thought. If I can't even interact with people, how am I to save lives, more-so my friends? Grunting in frustration, my fingers pressed harder into my skull.
"It's not your fault, you know. You're just overthinking everything."
"Shut up, you don't know anything!" I screamed at the person behind me before realizing who they were. Ali was unfazed by my prickling hostility. She silently leaned against the balcony; scanning my averting eyes.
"Hey, I know the events in the recent past are unfavorable to your liking," Why does everyone use such complicated methods of expressing their sympathy with me? "But you can't give up, if anyone could save the day—it's you. I've seen you do it before, why not now?" Her voice wiped away my tears as her hand glided across my tense shoulder blades in a comforting way.
"How? How do I save the day this time? This isn't a matter of boss fights—it's a mystery that needs somebody of high intellect and skill to solve. This is the kind of thing that takes a real hero, someone, whom of which is not me, that can protect others and is born from pure justice and righteousness. Someone who is physically incapable of laying harm to others!" I half-screeched-half-whined. The look on Ali's face and the emotional support radiating from her only made me angrier. I don't know why, but they did. "Stop, just stop it! Go away and take your filthy sympathy with you! I don't need your assistance! Leave! Me! ALONE!" My voice boomed across the castle, rumbling through the walls and bursting out into the kingdom. I felt the flames spike up from their hiding place, licking across my insides and burning every manner, every sensibility, every humanity within, leaving only primitive instincts. I ran into the dark dwellings, stomping down the hall and leaving Ali outside on the tower in the darkening night. Oh Alisson, how I've lost you. If you weren't mine, than you shall never be after tonight, was the only thought swirling inside the cesspool of painful and ruthless feelings. Eventually, night broke into dawn; the way most evil surrenders to good. But not my evil.
Ian Tomas
Palmyra, NY
"Ian. Ian. IAN."
I looked up from my book. The Physics of The Impossible by Michio Kaku. When Lily says my name, 3 basic thoughts run through my mind.
1) I am in love with her.
2) My position as head nerd is important.
3) I am Ian Tomas, a 17 year old who is head nerd (more on the subject later).
"Yes Lily."
"They got Ryan"
Dang. Ryan Chandler was a close, smart, promising young subject, who could easily be turned to new practices. We have the technology. Yet, I should've known. They have 20. We have 200. So many more people are interested in having a real life. Not creating cartoonish, young, weird characters, or theorizing about the universe. All that is useless.
"What do you propose we do?"
"Get him. They will be enraged, we will have the numbers, and then we can kill them off. ALL OF THEM."
"You know not to mess with the system. You know the goal. If you do this, they will kill you."
"Then we'll get him, let them come to us, and lose 20 kids. It will be worth it."
"You are saying, let them possibly commit genocide, take multiple prisoners, tech, turn kids against us, torture high ranking nerds, do... "
"We will get them if they come."
"But what if we can't?"
"The first thing that you told me was that 'Never underestimate the chances, enemies, possibilities that there may be.' You weren't head nerd then, but you are now. If you change your beliefs in this moment, to get a kid,"
"He's not a kid, Lily, he's a genius."
"We all are. That doesn't make any of us more special than the other. I'm leaving."
I let her go. That was her decision. I went back to reading my book. The chapter was titled "Teleportation." It got into things about entanglement and disassembly of the human body. Then it got me thinking, what if we could do that? Wait, no, thinking is wrong. Knowing is right. But what if… No, Ian, stop. But what if they did it. "Mickey, scan for signs of quantum entanglement."
"Yes Ian."
How little I think of Mickey Archer, one of the smaller finds in nerd history, but a find nonetheless. She became my assistant, capable of creating hardware able to retask a good portion of the the world's satellites to find anything from thermo signatures to signs of extrasensory perception.
"Signs found, Ian. From Queens, NY to Evergreen, CO."
Right where Ryan lived. And where the geeks are."
"Anything else Mr. Tomas?"
"Yes. Task the A.R.M.A.D.A. satellites to observe and attack the coordinates of the receiving entanglement."
"Sir, the coordinates, cannot be focused in far enough."
"Then task to the whole area."
"That could kill nearly a 10,000 innocent people."
"Correction, Ms. Archer. The geeks are not innocent. And 10,000 for 1, it will all be worth it." I could feel her gulp.
"As you wish Ian."
I hope she doesn't see me as a monster.
Long View High School students shared what they are thankful for. What are YOU thankful for? Share it with us!
"I am thankful for this moment. To like, be here with all you people, like, and experience this coherent and like random moment with all of you."
"I am thankful or all the people in my life, who help me do stuff."
"Amazon's fast shipping. It's so great. It takes 2 days to ship, like a hughe package. It makes me so happy. I'm also thankful for the technology we have today."
"I'm thankful for my mom and my girlfriend. And just like, living another day I guess."
"I'm thankful for my dog and Bill Nye the science guy. But mostly my dog, he's a black lab. His name is Midnight."
"I'm thankful that I'm graduating in the next month. Thankful for my family who have supported me through everything and my friends here who have supported me."

We all know not to feed the trolls. Even a person who is not a "troll" may be difficult to work with for many reasons. Certainly we should make reasonable efforts to collaborate with others, but if someone seems more interested in fighting than collaborating, it may well be time to simply shake the dust from our feet.
The advantages of simply shunning such an editor are real. It can be done individually. If you ignore someone, they are no longer able to bother you — you do not have to wait for community consensus for a ban, for example. When enough editors do this, the shunned editor is removed from the community without sound and fury.
Publicly announcing such a position may actually cause more drama. It may be courteous to inform other editors of your intention to shun. This can be done by a polite note left on a user talk page. Responding to comments related to the shun announcement may dilute the impact of the shunning.
This is more a form of "dispute avoidance" than it is a form of dispute resolution. Like nearly any technique, it's not always applicable — actively disruptive behavior may not always be ignorable, but noticeboard discussions are then often effective.
