Last Friday was the deadline set by Metro for comments on the proposal to remove the two westernmost bus shelters on the south side of SW Alaska, east of 44th SW. It originated as part of a "problem-solving plan" promised by Metro and Transit Police (who are part of the King County Sheriff's Office) reps following a walking tour/outdoor meeting in early October that also included reps from Seattle Police, the city Department of Human Services, the West Seattle Junction Association, and the WS Chamber of Commerce, as well as some local merchants.
Metro subsequently announced, via posted paper notices, that the two shelters, considered a draw for loitering and drinking, would be removed in mid-November; a subsequent uproar led them to "pause" the plan and take comments through November 18th. Now that the deadline has passed, we checked today with Metro to see what's next; spokesperson Jeff Switzer replied, "We're reviewing the comments that we received and will make a decision in coming weeks."

That silhouette placed today at 35th and Othello is in memory of Oswald Clement, hit and killed by a driver while crossing there nine years ago, just days before what would have been his 86th birthday. The silhouette is one of 24 that were to be placed around West Seattle for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, to raise awareness of deaths on and by the roads, as silent reminders of 24 deaths in this area since 2006.
Before fanning out this morning, volunteers, led by Bob Anderton, gathered at Ampersand Café on Alki to mark the silhouettes and get the list of locations:
They wrote on each one with the victim's age and date of death, plus a short description of the circumstances, adding a sticker explaining World Day of Remembrance:
Then they headed out – below, Kathy Dunn from West Seattle Bike Connections:
She and WSBC's Don Brubeck put up silhouettes along Alki Avenue, where four people were killed in incidents in 2006:
The Alki deaths happened in 2006, which, according to the spreadsheet that was created for today's efforts, was a particularly deadly year in West Seattle – 10 people killed. One of the Alki Avenue silhouettes was for 21-year-old Travis Gracey, hit and killed while skateboarding; the motorcyclist who hit him also died.
You'll also see a silhouette at California/Oregon in The Junction, where 62-year-old motorcycle rider Larry Keller died in a collision with a truck in 2013 – Dunn installed it with Michael Sedgewick:
Silhouettes have been placed in other areas around the city, too; as listed on the Seattle Greenways website, the Alki gathering was one of 11 today in Seattle. From the World Remembrance Day flyer:
Over the past 10 years, 200+ people have died by walking, biking, or driving on Seattle's streets. These 4-foot tall silhouettes are installed at the places people have died to remember these people and highlight the need for traffic safety everywhere.
In a startling moment of irony … while WSB photojournalist Leda Costa was photographing the silhouette shown at the top of this story, at 35th and Othello, two cars got into a fender-bender nearby. No injuries reported.
3:59 PM: That's the new notice that you'll find soon in the bus shelters on the west end of the south side of SW Alaska in the Junction transit hub, just east of 44th SW – if it's not posted already. The notice offers a more-detailed explanation of the plan to remove the two westernmost shelters on that side of the street, and invites comments, with a deadline of November 18th.
The shelter-removal plan first came to light when notices went up last weekend; as we reported on Saturday, it was the first major result of a walking tour/meeting on October 6th, following concerns about those shelters being magnets for loitering, drinking, and other illegal behavior. In our Monday followup, West Seattle Junction Association director Lora Swift detailed other steps that are being taken to try to improve safety and security in the area, and Metro promised it would "press 'pause'" on the removal plan so there could be a formal comment process, and that's what's starting today.
Metro also has answered a couple remaining questions we asked earlier this week. First, about the decisionmaking process on shelter removal and who has the final say:
Metro regularly evaluates issues with Metro bus shelters and makes decisions on the installation and removal of bus shelters, as ridership and circumstances change at bus stops. The Transit Route Facilities group within the Service Development section, takes the lead on evaluating these issues and makes the decision on installation or removal of bus shelters.
We also asked if other hubs in the Metro system had had shelters removed for similar issues: "Shelters have been removed from other high ridership bus stops due to chronic security issues that are unresolvable despite Metro's best efforts. One example, is 2nd Avenue S & S Washington Street where the Metro bus shelter was removed due to chronic misuse of the shelter."
Meantime, if you have something to say about the prospective removal of these shelters, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 206-553-3000.
4:30 PM UPDATE: Our crew just went to The Junction to check, and verified that the new notice IS up:
11:08 PM: Thanks for the photo and the tips – Fauntleroy and Raymond [map] is one of the spots that has flooded worse than usual during tonight's deluge. (We've already advised one person who called about it to report it to Seattle Public Utilities, whose 24-hour dispatch is 206-386-1800.) We're also hearing about deep water at spots including Harbor/Spokane. So if you're headed out any time soon, be extra careful, and if you see what looks like a totally flooded roadway ahead, you're advised not to drive/ride through it.
\11:30 PM: And just five minutes after we published that, the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for areas including Seattle, until 2:15 am. Meantime, Darlene mentions in comments that the Delridge ramp to the bridge is swamped too.
12:15 AM: Michelle reported in comments that her husband and neighbors cleared the Fauntleroy/Raymond drains, and she sent a photo:
Meantime, another "standing water" report on the scanner – 9200 block of 35th SW.
From last night's West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network meeting @ the Southwest Precinct:
WHERE POLICE ARE FOCUSED: Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis says their current emphasis patrols to get a step ahead of car prowlers include The Junction and Morgan Junction. As he has said at earlier community meetings, they made progress in former hotspot Highland Park over the summer. Data helps them figure out the hotspots – so if it happens to you, even if nothing is taken, please report it. And, he reiterated, please reduce car prowlers' incentive by keeping stuff out of your vehicle.
Capt. Davis also said police are patroling Roxhill Park and some other area parks, as well as keeping an eye on certain people and places. He made mention of last week's arrests near South Park, after officers spotted a stolen car linked to multiple West Seattle robberies.
By the way, court documents show that the adult suspect arrested in that incident, 19-year-old East Admiral resident Ayub M. Rage, is now charged with one count of second-degree robbery and one count of attempted second-degree robbery for two incidents last Thursday – a holdup at the Admiral 7-11 and an attempted holdup at the 41st/Admiral Chevron. His bail is set at $75,000, though prosecutors had requested $200,000.

Thanks for the tips about the new signs announcing Metro's plan to remove two bus shelters on the west end of the south side of SW Alaska in The Junction's transit hub.
This is part of the "problem-solving project" we first told you about back on October 6th, after a walking tour involving reps from Metro, Metro Transit Police, Seattle Police, the city Department of Human Services (HSD), the West Seattle Junction Association (WSJA) and some of its merchants, the West Seattle Farmers' Market, and the WS Chamber of Commerce.
The major complaint involved loitering in those shelters and in the nearby parking lot, with multiple police calls resulting from fights, disorderly conduct by intoxicated people, and maintenance issues. According to a preliminary follow-up report from Metro planner Dale Cummings that was sent to walking-tour participants, a Metro ridership study showed removal of those shelters was feasible because the RapidRide shelters on the east end of the block – which are NOT proposed for removal – get most of the use. Cummings wrote, "Since the RapidRide bus stop was added at The Junction, ridership at this bus stop that serves Rts. 37, 50, 55, 128 has dropped to around 400 boardings per day."
The Junction had already taken steps to try to reduce the problems through changing the environment, including removing some of the vegetation and seating areas on the southeast corner of Alaska and 44th. The organization also planned to evaluate lighting in the parking lot, and to look at how to remove access to electrical outlets that have been in place by the SW Alaska bus shelter dating back to the Farmers' Market use of the parking lot.
According to the Metro notices that just appeared in the shelters, they are to be removed in mid-November. We'll be following up with the Junction Association about any other impending steps from the "problem-solving plan." Meantime, if you have a comment for Metro about the impending removal, the notices point you to its Customer Service division – contact info is on this page of the Metro website.
MONDAY AFTERNOON NOTE: We've spoken this afternoon with Junction Association director Lora Swift and, as noted in comments, she confirms that despite Metro's posting of all four structures west of the parking-lot driveway behind KeyBank, the two on the west are the only two slated for removal. We also talked about the other area challenges discussed during the October 6th walking tour and will have updates in our upcoming followup – we've been waiting all day for Metro to answer some questions before finishing the story.

The final official list isn't out yet, but West Seattle Bike Connections says its proposal for improvements at Harbor/Avalon/Spokane/Manning topped the list last night when the citywide Levy to Move Seattle Oversight Committee voted on which proposals should get Neighborhood Street Fund money.
The proposal won top ranking from the Southwest District Council in neighborhood-level voting. Here's the SDOT document explaining the proposal by WSBC's Jodi Connolly, and estimating it at $352,000; here's a WSBC report from February detailing the intersection's challenges.
WSBC president Don Brubeck summarizes it as "The project will improve driver sight lines, traffic signals, and signage for safety for people crossing Harbor and Avalon on foot and on bikes. It's a blind corner at the Spokane ramp to Harbor Ave SW for people driving low vehicles. At SW Manning to Avalon Way, the signage is confusing for the little pocket left turn bike lane and right-only vehicle lane."
He adds – and note that one key change was made after SDOT's version of it came out – "This grant application had strong community support, including Alki Community Council, Nucor Steel, Luna Park neighbors (who have their own Neighborhood Park & Street Fund project to improve the appearance and commemorate the history of this gateway to West Seattle). Our grant is for safety for people crossing the street on foot and on bikes. The Luna Park businesses has concerns about parking loss at Avalon and Manning by Luna Park Cafe. We discussed that, and modified the request so that no street parking spaces would be lost on Avalon (the SDOT link shows it before that modification). David Whiting, president of Southwest District Council and a founding member of West Seattle Bike Connections, helped us present to the council and obtain their recommendation."
Following up on Brubeck's note, we asked SDOT for an official list from last night's meeting, but spokesperson Norm Mah said that wasn't available yet: "This list of project recommendations has been transmitted to the Mayor for final approval. SDOT expects project applicants will be notified next week about final funding selections, with an official public release shortly thereafter." A list tweeted by Seattle Neighborhood Greenways shows the only other West Seattle project to make the citywide top 10 was the "26th SW proposal" for the walking corridor between Chief Sealth International High School and Westwood Village.
Quick reminder that this Saturday is the next Drug Take-Back Day, coast to coast, with the Southwest Precinct accepting your expired and/or no-longer-needed prescription drugs, 10 am-2 pm. Free, anonymous, no questions asked, an easy way to remove the possibility of abuse, poisoning, etc. – drop yours off at 2300 SW Webster [map].

Metro Transit Police promise to "put together a problem-solving project" for the transit hub in the heart of the West Seattle Junction.
That was one result of a meeting/walking tour this morning that also included reps from Metro Transit itself, Seattle Police, the city Department of Human Services (HSD), the West Seattle Junction Association (WSJA) and some of its merchants, the West Seattle Farmers' Market, and the WS Chamber of Commerce.
The gathering was intended to seek solutions to concerns including safety and sanitation issues surrounding the bus shelters on both sides of SW Alaska between California SW and 44th SW. Recent police responses to the area even included a death investigation in late August (not a criminal case; the police report indicated witnesses had seen the victim become ill after drinking heavily earlier that morning).

(UPDATED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON with message to Denny/Sealth families)
ORIGINAL TUESDAY NIGHT REPORT: Seattle Public Schools says it's working with police to investigate social-media posts related to a nationwide wave of school threats that accompany photos of clowns. The district sent this message late today (thanks to the parents who forwarded it to us):
The Seattle School District has been contacted by a number of individuals concerned about an ongoing national social media trend related to "Scary Clowns." There have been a few local news stories related to this and some of our students have received pictures of clowns. We are communicating to families to remind you and your student that if they see suspicious individuals while at school, please have them inform their teacher or principal immediately. We also ask you to report any threatening social media activity that involves Seattle Public Schools or our students to your school or the district's Safety and Security Office at (206) 252-0707. This office is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
We take safety seriously, and the security of our students is a top priority. We are working closely with Seattle Police Department to investigate all concerns related to this social media trend.
West Seattle High School is among the schools dealing with this – its families got this message from principal Ruth Medsker:
Hello families-
You may be hearing from your students and or the media about threats to West Seattle High School involving "creepy clowns." This is part of a national social media trend that has impacted schools and districts nationwide. Within the last 48 hours it has come to the Pacific Northwest. Many schools, including West Seattle, are named in various Instagram and Facebook posts. It was brought to our attention this morning by district security and our students.
West Seattle High School administration notified police and currently there is an open investigation. Police have increased patrols in the community.
Please talk with your student about media safety and encourage them to report anything that makes them feel unsafe.
On the national level, this all goes back at least a month, according to one East Coast news publication.
ADDED 2:34 PM WEDNESDAY: The district message above has been sent today to Denny International Middle School and Chief Sealth International High School families, according to Denny principal Jeff Clark, and prefaced with this:
Good Afternoon Denny and Sealth Scholars and Families,
Below is a message that was sent out to all families in Seattle Public Schools last night to address the concern of "Scary Clowns" that is happening across the country through social media. Here at Denny and Sealth, we have also been checking into these social media rumors about clowns. To ease any anxiety, we wanted to let you know that we are not aware of any threatening posts related to either of our schools at this time.

If there are one or more preschool-age children in your family, next month brings two chances for them to learn life-saving lessons: The Seattle Public Library has just announced its next round of Firefighter Story Times, when crews from local stations come read a special book that helps the little ones learn what to do in case of fire. The two set for local libraries are 11:15 am Wednesday, October 19th, at South Park Library (8604 8th Ave. S.) and Wednesday, October 26th, at Delridge Library (5423 Delridge Way SW). All are welcome and ASL interpretation will be available.
Three days after two workers were seriously hurt when a portable crane touched power wires at a Junction construction site (WSB coverage here), they're both improving. That's what we've heard both from a co-worker and from Harborview Medical Center, which says that both men "continue to improve" – one man is out of intensive care and listed in satisfactory condition, while the other remains in intensive care but has been upgraded to serious condition, from critical. We don't have any information about possible community contribution drives to help them and their families but the co-worker promised to let me know if there was anything to be made public. Both were on the ground near the crane, whose operator was apparently unhurt, when it touched the wires, according to early word from investigators at the scene on Monday.
Meanwhile, the state Department of Labor and Industries tells WSB that they are investigating two companies because of what happened at the 4505 42nd SW mixed-use-building project site. According to L&I spokesperson Tim Church, the companies are Spartan Concrete, a subcontractor that he says is the employer of the two injured workers, and MarPac Construction, the general contractor. Spartan's record shows a power-line/crane-safety violation at a jobsite in 2012, marked as "corrected."
L&I has up to six months to finish its investigation.

Concerned about what can seem to be a "revolving door" for crime suspects? The guest at last night's West Seattle Block Watch Captains' Network offered some frank insight into it.
FROM THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE: Alex Voorhees, a senior prosecutor with the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, was invited to offer insight into how the justice system works, and doesn't work. She opened by explaining she's worked in various units during her 14 years in the office. "One of the things I'm most proud about …is a program called CTI." That dates back about a decade, when the late Norm Maleng, then KC Prosecutor, came up with a plan to tackle the fact that the county was among the nation's top hotspots for vehicle theft. "We started working with a number of proactive law-enforcement groups around the county," including Seattle Police. Participants had quarterly meetings and targeted suspects and cut the auto-theft rate in half. But, she said, a lot has changed since then.
The KCPAO handles felonies throughout the county as well as misdemeanors from the unincorporated area. It includes these units:
Special Assault Unit
Domestic Violence Unit
Homicide and Violent Crimes Unit
Property Crimes Unit
When someone is arrested for a felony property crime, they appear in front of a District Court judge within 24 hours, and "an initial bond is set." That calendar has dozens of suspects on it some days. "We send a prosecutor to that hearing, and in cases involving burglary and auto theft, we ask that people be held. I hear this frustration about revolving doors …" Read More
3:05 PM: Almost 24 hours to the moment after the 3-alarm Lam Bow Apartments fire broke out in Delridge, more than a dozen people from the Seattle Police and Fire Departments and Seattle Housing Authority stood behind Mayor Ed Murray, Fire Chief Harold Scoggins, and Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole at City Hall, as they announced honors for heroes.
(Added: WSB photo of SPD honorees)
"These public servants saved a lot of lives," said the mayor. At the top of the story is our phone video of what he and the chiefs said; we have more to add, including photos, names, and our conversation afterward with SHA's Thaddeus Perry, who was working on a project in the main office when a tenant came running in yelling, "Fire, fire, fire" – he rushed into the building to get people out.
4:23 PM: Here's SHA employee Perry, at center:
He told us he just started working for SHA in the West Seattle area – assigned to several buildings/complexes including Lam Bow – as of about two weeks ago. After he ran into the building and discovered a "barrage" of smoke on the 3rd floor, he was soon joined by SPD Sgt. Britt and they went up and down the hallway, "banging on doors," to tell people to get out. They all did, and as SFD said yesterday, everyone escaped without injury.
4:55 PM: Here are the names of the SPD personnel who were honored:
Sgt. Jim Britt
Officer Aaron Briggs
Officer Nick Meyst
Officer Garth Lindelef
Officer Nick Burk
Officer German Barreto
Officer Sandro Fleming
Officer Ryan Levens
Officer Jack Johns
Thanks to "Diver Laura" James for the tip – the Beach Drive/Constellation Park speed bumps are in, a week and a half after we spotted the SDOT markings, which in turn was shortly after City Councilmember Lisa Herbold announced they were in the works. Neighbors had long been seeking traffic calming along this stretch, because of problems like this:
(May 2016 racing video)
The three bumps are installed on Beach Drive between the stormwater-treatment plant and 63rd SW.
More than 50 goats from Rent-A-Ruminant have been busy clearing one of the Westwood-area trouble spots highlighted during the Find It, Fix It Community Walk two months ago – a tangle of stairway-side brush, the removal of which has revealed numerous cans, bottles, and other litter.
We got word of their work at 22nd SW/SW Henderson late today from Ami, who had spoken to the mayor and dozens of other walkers during the July 26th event, playing a video clip from a former neighbor who said crime and disorder in the area had forced her to move (it's in our July 26th report).
Ami explained in her note today, "After the Find it Fix it walk, we applied for a grant to mulch the area adjacent to the 22nd Ave SW and Henderson stairs. SDOT assigned an arborist to the project who brought in goats and is donating mulch for our neighborhood work party on 10/1 from noon to 2 pm." We went over for a look at the goats, whose "head wrangler," RAR proprietor Tammy, told us they've been working since Thursday and will likely leave around midmorning Sunday. (Her herd also did work for SDOT along the Delridge/Holden stairway a year and a half ago.)
(Seattle Channel video from Tuesday's Transportation and Sustainability Committee meeting)
Next Monday, the full Seattle City Council is scheduled to consider the SDOT speed-limit-reduction proposal, primarily proposing that all non-arterial roads to have a speed limit of 20 mph. First word of the proposal a week and a half ago sparked much discussion; it was one of three major topics at this week's meeting of the council's Sustainability and Transportation Committee.
SPEED LIMITS: As you can see in the video above (starting one hour, 29 minutes in), the SDOT presenters stressed that they believe lower speed limits will reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries; they presented this slide deck to underscore that.
As for what's planned for other arterials, SDOT reps said this specific bill does not include any speed-limit changes for arterials outside downtown, but noted that others remain under review, especially the ones with the most crashes. They also pointed out that the city has reduced speed limits relatively recently on four arterials around the city, two of them in West Seattle (Fauntleroy Way SW last February, and 35th Avenue SW). And they said they're reviewing some areas – many in West Seattle (though specific roads weren't mentioned) – where they need to add signage reminding people of current speed limits.
The speed-limit proposal needs a majority vote at Monday afternoon's full-council meeting. No one opposed it at the committee meeting.
PARKING BENEFIT DISTRICTS: While this item did not directly involve West Seattle, some information of interest emerged – particularly, the revelation that SDOT expects to review West Seattle Junction on-street parking again in 2018. That would be nine years after the last full review in 2009, which included SDOT's announcement that paid on-street parking did NOT seem to be warranted in The Junction. The review did result in some mostly minor changes, including time limits.
The committee briefing was about a proposal to look at Parking Benefit Districts – in which revenue from paid on-street parking would go back into the geographic districts where the parking was located, theoretically to give community members an incentive to support the paid parking. Specifically, there was a proposal for a pilot PBD in Capitol Hill. SDOT recommended against it, saying it prefers to stick with what it's been doing, including "time-of-day" variable pricing in some areas and potentially extending paid parking later into the night in some parts of the city. The latest online update from our area's Councilmember Lisa Herbold (who was not at Tuesday's meeting of the committee, for which she is an alternate member) has more details on SDOT's rationale for opposing PBDs.
Back to the meeting – Councilmembers Rob Johnson and Mike O'Brien had a notable exchange involving constituents' concerns about parking. O'Brien said he hears most often about new development projects without offstreet parking and said he wasn't sure that PBDs would have any effect on those concerns. And separate from that, West Seattle's "remarkable growth and increase in density" was mentioned in passing a few times during the discussion.
CUTTING UP STREETS: This briefing got a little technical but here's what you really need to know: The city is tightening up the rules for when and why streets can be cut into, and how long the cutters get before they have to restore the pavement. With the Move Seattle Levy funding new pavement, SDOT reps explained, "One of the things we wanted to avoid were a bunch of asphalt cuts turning (newly repaved) streets into Swiss cheese." You can read here what they are working on, in addition to listening to the discussion in the meeting video (1 hour, 9 minutes in).

Remember that crash two weeks ago? It's just one of several in recent months that have damaged jersey barriers on the West Seattle Bridge. Now, SDOT has announced an overnight closure, eight days away, for replacements:
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) advises travelers that maintenance crews need to replace damaged jersey barriers in the median of the West Seattle Bridge, requiring a full closure of the bridge on Saturday, October 1, during the overnight and morning hours. Damage to these barriers has been caused by several recent vehicle collisions that have struck the median. An SDOT inspection of all of the jersey barriers on the West Seattle Bridge identified 18 that are in need of replacement.
From 11:59 p.m. on Friday night, September 30 to 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, October 1, travelers can expect the following:
· The West Seattle Bridge (WSB) will be closed to through traffic in both directions between 35th Ave SW and the Harbor Avenue/Avalon Way exit.
· Crews will begin closing lanes at 11:30 p.m. Friday with full closure by midnight.
· A detour will be in place for eastbound and westbound travelers on the WSB.
· The detour for eastbound traffic is via SW Avalon Way, SW Spokane St and back onto the WSB.
· The detour for westbound traffic is via the Harbor Avenue/Avalon Way exit to SW Avalon Way to Fauntleroy Way SW.
· Crews will remove and replace 18 damaged jersey barriers.
· Crews will check and adjust any existing barriers that may have moved, but do not need immediate replacement.
· The West Seattle Bridge will be reopened by 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, October 1.
After the recent attack on a woman running in our area, West Seattle Runner (WSB sponsor) decided to organize a free self-defense class. In case you haven't already seen it in our calendar, here's the announcement of the class at 7 pm Wednesday, October 12th:
West Seattle Runner and P3Running are hosting a self defense class for runners. We are pleased to announce that Seattle Integrated Martial Arts (SIMA) will be presenting the class. It will last approximately 1-1.5 hours. … Our hope is that this workshop will help you feel empowered and safe while out doing what you love. Additionally, we hope to create a network of runners that night who will connect to run together during the dark hours. Please invite friends who will benefit, and have everyone RSVP. Either RSVP on the Facebook event page OR email email@example.com
West Seattle Runner is at 2743 California SW.
If you missed it in our coverage of City Councilmember Lisa Herbold's update at this week's 34th District Democrats meeting – three speed bumps are going in on Beach Drive along Constellation Park, in hopes of deterring late-night racing and other speeding. Herbold also wrote about it in her newest online update (which addresses other topics of interest, too). Then while out checking on the wind and waves just before tonight's sunset, we noticed the three spots marked up on the street along the straightaway between the stormwater-treatment plant and the intersection with 63rd SW.
Neighbors have been working a long time for this – back in March, we reported on their visit to the Southwest District Council seeking support for a grant application to fund the speed bumps, which are already in place on another straightaway stretch of Beach Drive, south of Jacobsen.

Tomorrow is the first day of Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week. Even if you don't have a young child in your family – it's important because of how you can help someone who does. Local nonprofit WestSide Baby, which helps families in need with essentials such as car seats and diapers, explains how:
To mark Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week (September 18-24), local nonprofit WestSide Baby is asking the public to help keep more kids safe by helping to purchase child car seats for families who cannot afford them.
The leading cause of death for children aged 0-13 is car accidents, and many car injuries and even death can be prevented with a correctly sized and fitted car seat for a child. Car seats, however, can cost upward of $100 and be yet another unmanageable amount for low-income families. Last year WestSide Baby was only able to fill 47% of requests for car seats received from families in need.
There are several actions that you can take in order to help raise funds or collect car seats which WestSide Baby will distribute via more than 120 social service partners and agencies to families who need them.
First, you can attend the WestSide Baby Cocktail Benefit: Fall Masquerade, on September 23rd (next Friday) at Emerald City Trapeze. This fundraiser is shaping up to be a fun filled night with cocktail from local bars The Bridge, The Point, and West 5, music from DJ Kevin Olsen, magic, entertainment, and philanthropic inspiration. Tickets are available online – $45 for an individual. The event is 21+.
If cocktails aren't your thing, then how about hosting a "virtual car-seat drive"? WestSide Baby are providing template posts and graphics for anyone who would like to spend the week gathering their online networks to purchase car seats through WestSide Baby's Amazon wishlist. More information is available here.
It is also possible to donate lightly used car seats directly. Seats must be less than 6 years old and not have been previously recalled. For more information and donation sites, please go here.
One more thing you can do – if you do have one or more kids under 12 in your family, make sure you're following the safety recommendations.

Heath admitted that he is likely to have to battle on with his current squad with United sitting just three points off the foot of the First Division. "I think the chairman made his comments quite clear the other day that the wage bill has got to be reduced, so it's difficult to bring people in. We'll have to get on with what we've got."
Gareth Farrelly, on loan from Everton, made a dream debut for Bolton with the opening goal after just 82 seconds. The Danish striker, Bo Hansen, restored the visitors' lead after Marcus Bent's 32nd-minute strike brought United level.
Barnsley showed their promotion credentials on Saturday with a 3-1 win at Fulham. Craven Cottage hosted Division One's only game of the day and it was Dave Bassett's side who stole the honours.
Wily campaigner Bassett, however, is too shrewd to start shouting about a possible return to the big-time for Barnsley, who enjoyed a brief spell in the Premiership two seasons ago.
Bassett said: "Who knows whether we can go up? It's a difficult league. We play Birmingham and Manchester City in our next two games but we are keeping up the momentum and going in the right direction."
Craig Hignett had a hand in all three Barnsley goals after Karlheinz Riedle had put the Londoners ahead in the 24th minute. A Kit Symons own goal started the comeback for Bassett's boys followed by two goals in six second-half minutes from Bruce Dyer and Robbie Van Der Laan.

Microsoft has silently removed support for Bitcoin in the Windows 10 Store, despite the fact that the company adopted the digital currency in late 2014 with much fanfare.
Although an official statement from Microsoft is not yet available – we've reached out to the company for a word on this and will update the article when we get it, an update made to the Windows Store FAQ reveals that Bitcoin is not accepted anymore when buying content from Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile stores.
"Microsoft Store doesn't accept Bitcoin. You can no longer redeem Bitcoin into your Microsoft account. Existing balances in your account will still be available for purchases from Microsoft Store, but can't be refunded," the update, which applies to Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, reads.
In other words, the existing balance in your account can still be used for transactions in the store, but you can't make any new deposits using Bitcoin. What's odd, however, is that the FAQ page where Microsoft explains how to "add money to your Microsoft account with Bitcoin" is still up and running.

About This Brand
You can hear the difference!
Beginnings are critical. That is why we are committed to offering the best student instruments to beginning players. We believe this commitment is why Hoffmann instruments have become so popular with teachers, schools, parents, and beginning students of all ages.
We designed Franz Hoffmann instruments to give you the absolute best student violins, violas, cellos, and basses available on the market today. The consistent quality in materials, construction, playability, tone, and visual appeal make them a great value for every beginning string student.
Working closely with workshops, we have carefully designed and crafted each Franz Hoffmann instrument to ensure our specifications are met. These instruments are then to our Ann Arbor workshop to receive final adjustments assuring easy playability and polished looks.
Question By:
From ANN ARBOR, MI
Asked On: 07/27/2016
What is the minimum that I should look for in a beginner's violin or viola?
When you buy a beginner's violin or viola, it's a good idea to be aware of its materials, set-up and durability. You'll want the instrument to be made from a solid spruce top and to have maple wood used for its back, neck, and sides. It ought to have real ebony fittings, for durability, and it's ideal to have pegs and fine tuners that are easy to turn and don't slip. Most importantly, you'll want your violin or viola to meet the proper measurements/specifications and set-up, just like all of the instruments we carry here at SHAR! If the instrument has the proper specifications and set-up, then you will be equipped to succeed at learning the violin or viola. That will help minimize frustration and maximize the enjoyment of learning.

L'Oréal Paris Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne System
L'Oréal Paris Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne System Reviews
Wonderful results
I love this combination treatment. The wash is gentle, the treatment is a little abrasive but it lets you know it's working, and the final step is very soothing on the skin. The chemical smell of the treatment is disgusting, but it works so I'll deal with it for 5 minutes to keep the results up. I saw results on the 2nd use, but after the first my skin felt like it was starting to get better. My skin was smoother and had a nice glow. Highly recommended. — 8 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Worked at First
I use this twice a week. At the beginning, it worked wonders. It cleared my ance, shrunk my pores and evened tone. After two months of using, the results became less and less noticable. I even leave on the treatment all night now, rather than for just ten minutes. I bought another box, but think I will take a one month break between treatments so my skin can readjust. — 7 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Great Product
I am African- American and have hyperpigmentation. This product controls my acne breakouts and has faded my older acne scars! It is gentle enough that my skin does not dry out from use. I just wish the lotion came in a full size bottle. It is the best part I use before I put on foundation as well. It is great and worth price! I am a cheap, I mean real cheap, and I do not mind parting with my money for this product! lol. — 8 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

A weak turbulence theory for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics
Galtier, S., Nazarenko, Sergey, Newell, Alan C. and Pouquet, A.. (2000) A weak turbulence theory for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Journal of Plasma Physics, Vol.63 (No.5). pp. 447-488. ISSN 0022-3778
WRAP_Galtier_weak_turbulence.pdf - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader Download (1067Kb) |
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022377899008284
We derive a weak turbulence formalism for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Three-wave interactions lead to a system of kinetic equations for the spectral densities of energy and helicity. The kinetic equations conserve energy in all wavevector planes normal to the applied magnetic field B0ê[parallel R: parallel]. Numerically and analytically, we find energy spectra E± [similar] kn±[bot bottom], such that n+ + n− = −4, where E± are the spectra of the Elsässer variables z± = v ± b in the two-dimensional case (k[parallel R: parallel] = 0). The constants of the spectra are computed exactly and found to depend on the amount of correlation between the velocity and the magnetic field. Comparison with several numerical simulations and models is also made.

Tour de Force: Live in London - Royal Albert Hall
Tour de Force: Live in London - Royal Albert HallBlu-ray
Blu-ray pressing. The Tour de Force - Live in London series chronicles guitarist Joe Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of the Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Each individual evening was marked by a unique theme with different set lists, arrangements and ensembles providing the viewer with four unique performances. On this performance from the Royal Albert Hall, Bonamassa treats the crowd to a half acoustic/half electric show of his most popular and well-known songs, featuring the acoustic band from his most recent release, An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House. It goes without saying that the challenge was daunting, but Bonamassa more than picked up the gauntlet after it was thrown down and delivers a once-in-a-lifetime performance that more than serves as an appropriate career retrospective for an artist who has already achieved so much.

Advising Information
A Note on Plagiarism
To: All students taking courses in the English Department
From: Professor John Whittier-Ferguson (former Director of Undergraduate Studies)
Plagiarism occurs when the student submitting a paper for a course:
1. Does not properly attribute words or ideas to a source. That is, even if you're not quoting directly from a book you've read on "Macbeth"a book that's helped you formulate ideas for your paperyou should nevertheless footnote that book at the point in the text where that other author's ideas helped shape your own essay. It is also important, if you've had a conversation with a peer or a professor who has helped you substantially in establishing your ideas on a given text, that you cite that conversation at the appropriate point in your essay. (e.g. "My ideas about Macbeth derive in part from a conversation with Professor Jones." The citation can be more specific than this, depending on the level of detailed assistance you received.)
The point that even ideas should receive citation raises some alarm among students since, of course, virtually all of our ideas might be said to grow out of conversations with others. Whether citation in a given instance is required is something that you will each have to decide on a case-by-case basis. The phrase I used in the preceding paragraph"helped you substantially"suggests that if pivotal / key / crucial terms or turns in your argument derive to a significant extent from a conversation with a colleague or a point made in class, you should cite that conversation or class. If you look in the "Acknowledgements" section of almost any academic book (or in the footnotes of many academic articles), you will find models for occasions when this kind of citation if required. Acknowledgements sections themselves signal that our ideas grow from our work within a community. To fail to acknowledge the context for our ideas is in part to weaken that community.
2. Quotes from another author's writing without citing that author's work. This, of course, includes failing to cite material you take from the World Wide Web, as well as copying material from library books or your peer's papers.
3. Cites, with quotation marks, portions of another author's work, but uses more of that work without quotation marks and without attribution. This instance is the most common kind of plagiarism I've been seeing. A student essay quotes, say, four or five words from a World Wide Web page (or an essay in a printed collection) on W. B. Yeats and cites them. That same essay contains other sentences that lift material directly from the Web page, but the student does not surround that quoted material with quotation marks nor does s/he give the citation at the end of his/her sentence. Note that if you're taking material from a source and rehashing it slightly, but not giving a citation for that rephrased material, you're still plagiarizing the work you're representing as your own, since the ideas, the argument derive in fact from another's writing. If you cite and surround with quotation marks only some of the words you've taken from a source, you also commit plagiarism, since you're taking words from another without fully acknowledging the extent of your borrowing.
Some have pointed out to me that, in an era of computer communities (on the internet and the World Wide Web), the whole idea of intellectual property is changing: cutting and pasting without acknowledgement may be more the norm than the exception within a computer-based, internet community. I realize, too, that one of the first things a great many students do when given an assignment is to search the Web for pertinent entries. Nor do I want to prohibit such search, since they can constitute important research.
I do want to emphasize that turning to an electronic rather than a printed source does not change the rules of citation and acknowledgement when you are submitting an essay for a course. When you turn in a paper written for someone in the English department, you are entering a research community that is still quite strict about attribution and use of material and ideas from others.
For those of you who are doing substantial work on the Web or in email discussion groups for your courses, it would be a good idea to bring up with your professor any questions you might have about intellectual property and attribution, since my general message may not address the nuances of a particular course and a specific situation.
4. Takes a paper, in whole or in part, from a site on the Web or a "library" of already-written papers.
5. Steals a paper from another student and then submits that paper as coursework.
6. Submits the same paper, or portions of the same paper, twice for two different assignments.
7. Takes the results of another's research and attempts to pass those results off as his or her own work. This includes "citing" material from sources that have been gathered by another author. You can, of course, cite materials that you have found in another published text, but you need to make it quite clear that you are availing yourself of another author's research: your citation should specify where you found the material, rather than simply giving that material's original source.
If you are caught plagiarizing, the Department's usual policy is as follows:
a. You will fail the assignment and the course.
b. Your case will be forwarded, with an explanatory letter and all pertinent materials, to the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education and Director of the Newman Academic Advising Center, Esrold Nurse.
c. You will be placed on academic probation (which does register for a number of semesters on your transcript). If a student already on probation is caught plagiarizing, he or she is usually asked to leave the University.
Please understand that, in the intellectual community of this University, plagiarism is a form of stealing: there are few more serious breaches of intellectual community.
Having invoked community, let me apologize in advance to the community of students and faculty working in English for the tone of this letter. Plagiarism is certainly the exception rather than the norm in our community. I simply want to emphasize in this note precisely what plagiarism is and to emphasize as well that it is a very serious violation of our community.

A Reminder to Residents - What Not to Flush
Posted: March 9, 2010
Putting the wrong things down the drain can damage the sewer system, cause sewer backups in your home, and sewer releases to the environment. All White City residents should be responsible for what they flush or pour down drains.
Basically, the only thing you should ever flush down a toilet is human waste (urine and feces) and toilet paper. Here is a list of some of things to keep out of the toilet:
- disposable diapers
- tampons
- cotton balls and swabs
- mini or maxi pads
- unused medications
- condoms
- cleaning wipes of any kind
- facial tissue
- bandages and bandage wrappings

When you're stressed out, what's your favorite or go-to way to unwind?
No announcement yet.
Best ways to de-stress?
Modular origami, when I'm really starting to freak out about grad school. Prelims are coming up so I'll have some fairly large and impressive pieces by the time that's over with, unfortunately. Or maybe I'll work on a senbazuru.
Otherwise it's fairly normal stuff like playing with the cats, cooking, working on the house, riding the motorcycle, tequila.
The nearest range to me is about 45 mins away, so shooting isn't a quick or cheap way to remove stress and I don't get there often.
At home: Blowing up monsters (via Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc.), also doing artwork sometimes and, of course, showers. Also having my cat in my lap, but I don't get much of a choice in when that happens =P
At work: Coffee (the slight buzz from the caffeine has a nice calming effect on me), or going for a walk.My Blog where I talk about my experiences with improving my health and life
(I try to update ... once in awhile)
Rimmer - Step up to Red Alert!
Kryten - Sir ... are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.
(Red Dwarf)
"Ah, those endless forests, and their horror-haunted gloom! For what eternities have I wandered through them, a timid, hunted creature, starting at the least sound, frightened of my own shadow, keyed-up, ever alert and vigilant, ready on the instant to dash away in mad flight for my life. For I was the prey of all manner of fierce life that dwelt in the forest, and it was in ecstasies of fear that I fled before the hunting monsters."

Ok, one of the things bothering me - where on earth do I stick Kinect? My centre speaker takes pride of place where the Kinect would go and no room under or over the tele
So the top of your centre speaker is really close to the bottom of your tv? Mine's going on top of my centre speaker, but if it doesn't fit, and it cannot go above the tv, I guess just to one side of the centre speaker would be best.
I have a similar issue in that my soundbar is (of course) in front of my TV. I can't put the kinect on top of the soundbar or it will block the TV. If I put it in front of the soundbar I'm worried it might block the IR sensor. My TV is a thin LED so kinect can't go on top without ruining the aesthetic (and I'd need a mount).........
Buy a wall mount? Orb Xbox One Kinect Camera TV Clip and Wall Mount 2in1 - Microsoft Xbox One - Xbox-One (Accessories)
Aww, the title of this thread is so tempting to answer but I don't want to get a ban so close to launch day.
I've been struggling the same like that. I've bitten my tongue so many times venturing past this thread
Not compulsory anymore, OP could just eBay it. If using it, pretty sure all demo's have it fairly central on the TV (above or below).
I didn't think it needed to be central but not sure it would work as well reading people's movements in relation to the game if it was off centre
Can never have to many kinects Tones I had the same idea until i clicked on every console ships with it, then again if one breaks due to children tampering with it then people might want a spare? I think most will keep it for the snap features have to admit wasn't keen on the whole idea to start with but i'm warming to it, i hope you can skype recent players. Hi bud Just calling to say you suck ...good day to you
I actually think it will be a success to be honest and people will warm to it alot. I'm not saying it will change gaming but I think it will change how we communicate and play together. Party Chat is a standard now for MP gaming. I can see some Kinect Features becoming standard and must have after using them.
I'll be using it for multiplayer chat at the least considering my tritton ax pro+ headset will not work for chat
I'm hoping its good for that, I do love wearing a decent headset but sometimes I just want to chill and chat without a headset. Kinect currently does ok but suffers from Echo's. Hopefully Kinect 2 will focus on your voice and be clearer so no need for a headset and I can tell someone in a nice clear voice I banged your mum....again and your dad is a fag. Ah Xbox Live I do Love you
I shall put it in front of the TV's base, but I didn't realise you are supposed to rest the sensor on the mic if you position it underneath the TV. This is because it doesn't have a motorised stand to point up. Not very elegant. I also didn't realise Microsoft had in mind it being mounted on top of your TV. That wouldn't work with mine, because its controls are in the middle on the top.
Does anyone have any idea as to whether sitting too close to the Kinect sensor will cause problems? I use a gaming monitor so I'm literally 2-3ft away from the screen.
It won't cause problems unless you are trying to play a game and use motion detection from the kinect. Voice commands will be fine. But I doubt at that distance you will get any useful head tracking or body tracking, say for BF4's lean function (you might in practice as I'm sure AP has said it works to about 3ft, but to be safe I'm going with not at this stage) but I assume those features will be able to be turned off in game. Certainly 2-3ft will not be enough for full body tracking games like Kinect Sports Rivals and Just Dance etc etc.
I got myself the Kinect on Saturday with a game for £20 (couldnt pass that up) just to see what it was like. Went to plug it into my old style phat 360 and its not even USB! Nice one Microsoft. I need an adapter. So i still dont know what its like. I bought it as a tester for Xbox One to see if it works in my living space etc.
The requirements and tech are totally different so to be honest there's no point buying a kinect 1 to see if a kinect 2 will suffice. It's like buying a Ford cortina in anticipation of a Ferrari to see if you can drive it.
I have a coffee table under my television. Ideally I would put my Kinect 2.0 sensor at the back of the coffee table near the wall, I'm not sure it will work though as from a low angle the camera won't be able to see my feet. I think it's going to have to go on the top of the television using a mount.
According to that picture the clamp actually overlaps the television screen. Only very marginally, and in a way that will have very little if any impact, but I know it would bug me.
Huh? But both cars will take space up in the garage yes? And both cars presumably work? Im not talking about experience here.
it is usb but if you got one that came bundled with a slim xbox then the cable is expecting power and usb over the same lead, if you get a standalone version I think it has two leads / a power supply that strips the usb out of the single lead and powers it. If that makes sense. For Kinect 2 I am going to have to jerry rig something to hold it above my center speaker under the TV, it might be resting on a couple of folded bits of paper to start until a decent cheap adaptor comes out, or I will have to make my own shelf that somehow attaches to the speaker mount points so I do not have to drill into the all again. It will probably some sort of metal L bracket brought from B and Q and a simple DSLR tripid screw like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2PC-VDM-1...471?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b7978d4f tho then hold Kinect onto the metal bracket. I will have to drill a hole in the beacket obviously, but I think it might be far easier than buying some horrid over the TV mount when a small and subtle bit of bent metal will do the job. like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/L-shape-met...408?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd3aaee18 paint black and job done

Mushrooms are not very commonly or easily available in India. The only variety, if available, is button mushrooms. I have not very often tasted a very delicious mushroom dish either. Mushrooms used as starters, is hardly heard off. I am sure by now you realise how little exposure I have to mushrooms. Having studies in school about mushrooms being a form of fungus I was never really keen on eating or cooking them.
But, last week while doing my weekly veggie shopping I came across a box of mushrooms that looked delicious. White in colour they looked fresh and plump and my hand just went out to pick a box. I was hypnotized by fungus.
Once home I started searching for a simple dish that would be delicious, sumptuous and healthy. Elise's beautiful blog Simply Recipes provided the solution. Beautifully baked, stuffed mushrooms that looked and tasted heavenly was a dish I could not resist.
Easy to make and a perfect party starter, this is a dish I will go back to time and again. Here is the show stopper for you.
Baked Mushrooms :-
(Adapted from Simply Recipes)
Button Mushrooms 18–20
Onions (paste) 2
Garlic paste ½ tsp
Fresh Coriander leaves (chopped) 2 tbsp
Bread crumbs 2 tbsp
Salt & pepper to taste
Apricots/Walnuts 8 – 10
Cheese (grated) 1 cube (I used regular processed cheese easily available in a super market, but Elise has used a different variety)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 – 2 tbsp
•Scrub and wash the mushrooms well. Remove the stems from the mushrooms carefully and chop them up. Pat dry the mushrooms heads with a kitchen towel.
•Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion paste till translucent. Add in the garlic and chopped mushroom stems and fry till done.
•Remove from heat and add in the salt, pepper bread crumbs and apricot.
•Now grind the whole mix to a fine paste.
•Fill the mushroom heads with the stuffing and top with grated cheese.
•Preheat the oven at 180C and bake for 20 minutes, till the tops brown slightly, the mushrooms release some juice & the bodies look slightly shriveled.
•Serve warm with mayonnaise or chimichuri.
Serves : 2 very hungry & greedy people. Otherwise 4.
Enjoy ! ! !

The corridor was closed for two days near the northern border town of Brcko by a fierce land battle between Bosnian and Serbian forces, in which Serbs defied a United Nations ban on flights over Bosnia to carry out air strikes. The Serbian claim was contested by Croatia, which said yesterday that the corridor was still blocked.
While fighting eased in northern Bosnia yesterday, Sylvana Foa, the spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, reported that the 'last stages of 'ethnic cleansing' ' were being undertaken by Serbian military leaders in the north-west of the republic.
Western journalists who reached the town of Kotor Varos, about 20 miles south-east of the Serbian stronghold of Banja Luka, confirmed that all the villages in the region which had been inhabited by Croats and Muslims appeared to have been systematically destroyed and the non-Serb population driven out or killed.
Serbian commanders at Kotor Varos said that their aim was to destroy all remaining resistance from the heavily outgunned Muslim and Croatian forces, who are still hiding out in the forests of this mountainous region.
In the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, tripartite talks under UN auspices on demilitarising the severely bombarded city before the onset of winter appeared to founder when the mainly Muslim Bosnian government delegation announced that it was pulling out. The Bosnian side accused the Serbian forces, who have besieged Sarajevo for six months, of breaking an earlier agreement to let the UN re-connect water and electricity supplies to the city.
However, Bosnian Serb military commanders agreed yesterday to open up a 'gateway' out of Sarajevo, as Croatia and Yugoslavia reached tentative agreement on placing their airports under UN control. Bosnian Serb military leaders were 'ready to examine practical ways' of opening up a gateway allowing 'freedom of movement' out of Sarajevo, said the commander of the UN peace-keeping forces, French General Philippe Morillon.
At the same time, Serbia's hardline nationalist leaders yesterday moved to scupper a plan by the reform-minded Yugoslav federal government, led by Milan Panic, to place relations with Croatia on an even keel. The row followed the announcement of an agreement between the rump Yugoslavia and Croatia to set up a committee to discuss re-establishing road, rail and postal links and the return of refugees.
The Serbian regime, led by Slobodan Milosevic, bitterly opposed the agreement, and Serbian representatives abruptly declared they were boycotting the committee's first meeting in the Croatian capital, Zagreb. Yugoslav and Croatian officials at a separate meeting in Geneva, however, agreed to the stationing of on UN monitors being stationed at Croatian and Yugoslav airports, to ensure that neither side is violating Bosnian air space.
Mr Milosevic appeared to have won a victory against Mr Panic last night, after early results showed less than half of Serbia's 7 million voters had cast their ballots in a weekend referendum on whether to hold early elections. The federal government hoped that more than 50 per cent would vote 'yes', so that early elections could be held this year, and Mr Milosevic ousted from power. If the final results, which are expected today, show that less than half the voters turned out, Mr Milosevic will be constitutionally entitled to stay in office for another three years.

Barbara Gross Galerie: ANDREA BÜTTNER - 13 Sept 2013 to 31 Oct 2013 Current Exhibition |
Andrea Büttner, Bush, 2010, Woodcut, 120 x 180 cm
ANDREA BÜTTNER Opening reception with the artist Thursday, September 12, 2013, 7–9 p.m. OPEN ART Friday, September 13, 2013, 6–9 p.m. Saturday, September 14, 2013, 11–6 p.m. Sunday, September 15, 2013, 11–6 p.m. Exhibition datesSeptember 13–October 31, 2013 Four woodcuts from Andrea Büttner's St. Francis Cycle serve as the focal point of her solo exhibition at the gallery. The subtly colored prints devoted to the life and legends of St. Francis of Assisi constitute an important series within her oeuvre The cycle features motifs such as the birds St. Francis preached to, the stones that, according to legend, he begged for instead of bread, and the tears that blinded him. Together the woodcuts Breadpebble, Drinking Man, Tears, and Bush occupy a special position within the cycle; all four feature motifs from nature. The organic, brown form in Breadpebble (2010) provides ample room for the viewer's imagination. The shape of the object may remind one of a potato, a stone, or even feces. This, like other forms seen in Büttner's work, invites multiple interpretations, transcending the actual object depicted. This ambivalence of meaning proves to be one of the artist's essential principles of expression. The woodcuts are presented on a wall painted brown. Here, too, the material nature of the paint lends itself to ambivalent interpretation: repulsion and beauty are closely related and continually alternating. Büttner's large scale intervention in the white cube, with its accepted conventions of perception, functions as both a mural and a background, lending an even more impressive aesthetic presence to the woodcuts, while deconstructing notions of neutrality and purity. Benches and the room corners take on special significance in the exhibition design. In many of the spaces that Büttner creates benches with woven backs invite visitors to sit down and alter their perspective in a moment of contemplation. At the same time, the benches can be considered as sculptural objects. Here in Munich, the colored bench backs are separated from the seats and displayed as if they were standalone paintings. Another reference to painting is made by two stretcher frames covered in fabric, which are installed perpendicular to each other in a corner of the room. The material—simple fabric like that used for work uniforms—may also be a reference to St. Francis. Having forsworn all worldly goods, he exchanged his valuable robes for the simple cloth of a monk's habit. The exhibition also features the artist's new reverse glass paintings. Reverse glass painting and woodcuts have a long tradition in Bavarian art, and these techniques were revived in the early twentieth century by Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky. At the Barbara Gross Galerie in Munich—so close to the Lenbachhaus with its important Blaue Reiter collection—Andrea Büttner's work takes on a special resonance. Andrea Büttner, b. 1972 in Stuttgart, studied art, art history, and philosophy; dissertation on shame and art, Royal College of Art, London; professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz since 2012 Solo shows (selected): MMK, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Zollamt, Frankfurt am Main, 2013; International Project Space, Birmingham, UK, 2012; The Poverty of the Riches, Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy, and Whitechapel Gallery, London, 2011-2012; Nought to Sixty, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, UK, 2008 Group shows (selected): Documenta 13, Neue Galerie, Kassel, 2012: Documenta 13, Queen's Palace, Kabul, Afghanistan, 2012; There is Always a Cup of Sea to Sail in, 29th Sao Paolo Biennial, Sao Paolo, Brazil, 2010 Upcoming solo shows: Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 2014; BP Spotlight, Tate Britain, London 2014 Barbara Gross Galerie new location Theresienstrasse 56 Hof 1 80333 München Germany Tel +49 89 296272 Fax +49 89 295510 email@example.com www.barbaragross.de |

Have I mentioned just how much I love the I Heart Faces site? Seriously, so much fun! This week's challenge is "Over My Head" and each entry must have (of course) a human face and something, anything, over their head. It could be a hat, a balloon, a bird, etc. This assignment should bring out some creative shots, so I'd highly encourage you to scurry on over to their Mr. Linky and check out the other entries - after you admire my of course.

I love this picture!! (And I heart faces, which I recently discovered through your blog!) They look as they have just conquered a great feat! I am looking to upgrade from my point and shoot and since you are such a good bargain shopper, where did you get your camera? Any tips for which camera you would recommend or dream of having and where is the best place to get them?

Mary - I got a great deal on my Nikon on amazon.com last November! Really, you can't go wrong with a Canon or Nikon - just try them both out before you decide which you like better. I always though I would want a Canon (my point and shoot was a Canon), but then after trying out a Nikon for a week I fell in love with that!
