The Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst at
Museum Ludwig
will be awarding the Wolfgang Hahn Prize for 2010 to the Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. To mark the associations 25th anniversary, it has succeeded in purchasing a substantial group of works in collaboration with Museum Ludwig and the City of Cologne. The award ceremony and the jubilee celebrations will be held on 19 April 2010, the day before the opening of Art Cologne.
Fischli/Weiss are among the most influential and perhaps ingenious artists in Switzerland. Not only have they come to be known for their captivating humour and the clarity with which they see the facticity of things, but also for having influenced a whole generation of young artists, said Heike Munder - guest juror and Director of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich - in her summary.
The purchases made with the purse of the Wolfgang Hahn Prize includes a selection of photographs from the Airport series, which the artists made between 1988 and 2008 and which depicts banal, everyday scenes at otherwise unnamed airports. These carefully composed works radiate a curious calm and tranquillity. A further acquisition is the plaster sculpture 4 Frauen [4 Women] from 1989. In addition, Fischli/Weiss will present a new radio installation in German made especially for Museum Ludwig. For this Fischli/Weiss will edit current radio broadcasts to create a one-hour tape that will play concealed inside a radio. The first visitors will scarcely notice that this is not a live broadcast. But with each passing day the listeners will become increasingly bewildered, because occurrences and times of day no longer tally, however up-to-date they may seem. The entire group of works will be on show at Museum Ludwig for the prize-giving ceremony.
Kasper König, Director of Museum Ludwig, says: These works by Fischli/Weiss are a fantastic addition of quintessential importance for the contemporary collection at Museum Ludwig.
The acquisition of this representative and extensive group of works is certainly quite exceptional. Not least because to celebrate its jubilee, the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst has teamed together with Museum Ludwig to make the acquisition. Our special thanks go to Peter Fischli and David Weiss, says Wolfgang Bornheim, President of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst. It is their generosity that has actually made this acquisition possible. And also to our members who, apart from their normal subscriptions, in some cases have made considerable additional donations. The Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst has donated 120,000 euros for the purchase on its 25th anniversary. The extra funds for the purchase were supplied by Museum Ludwig and the City of Cologne.
Fischli/Weiss number among the foremost artists of our day; they concern themselves in their works with the culture around us. Their use of everyday materials and symbols is no less a part of their practice than a self-reflective approach to making art. With humour and irony, they adapt everyday objects and situations and introduce them to the art arena, thus raising philosophical and theoretical questions about how we interpret the world. Drawing on a wide range of media film, photography, slide projections, sculpture, texts and installations they have developed an oeuvre with a ramified system of reference. Among other distinctions, Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (born 1946) have represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennale, and participated in the documenta 8 in 1987 with their film The Way Things Go. Between 18 October 2002 and 19 January 2003 the AC-Saal at Museum Ludwig was host to the exhibition Peter Fischli + David Weiss. The two artists have worked together since 1978 and both live in Zurich.
This years Jury consisted of guest juror Heike Munder, Director of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich, Prof. Kasper König, Director of Museum Ludwig, Dr. Wolfgang Bornheim, President of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst, Gabriele Bierbaum, Member of the Board of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst, Sabine DuMont Schütte, Member of the Board of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst, Robert Müller-Grünow, Member of the Board of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst, and Enno Scholma, Treasurer of the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst. In keeping with the statutes of the Wolfgang Hahn Prize COLOGNE, the jury had to select an internationally acclaimed artist for the award from 45 nominations made by the associations members. As major requirements for the award of the prize, the artist has to be able demonstrate a consistent development in their creative output, and their work must be under-represented at Museum Ludwig but nevertheless of importance for the furtherance of the collection.
With the Wolfgang Hahn Prize COLOGNE, the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst honours the creative output of contemporary artists and acquires works from them for Museum Ludwig. This acquisition prize has been instituted in memory of Wolfgang Hahn (1924 1987), chief conservator at the Wallraf Richartz Museum / Museum Ludwig and a far-sighted collector in Cologne.
The award of the Wolfgang Hahn Prize in 2010 will be the sixteenth time it has been conferred.
The artists to have received the Wolfgang Hahn Prize since 1994 are:
James Lee Byars (1994), Lawrence Weiner (1995), Günther Förg (1996), Cindy Sherman (1997) Franz West (1998), Pipilotti Rist (1999), Hubert Kiecol (2000), Raymond Pettibon (2001), Isa Genzken (2002), Niele Toroni (2003), Rosemarie Trockel (2004), Richard Artschwager (2005), Mike Kelley (2006), Peter Doig (2008), Christopher Wool (2009).

When was the last time you mom reminded you about your bed time? Can't remember? I can, I think it was when I'm kindergarten, or high school
In college I start to work on freelance jobs, developed websites, web apps and other things. While most of my friends stay up late for games, I work. Not really, I also played games but mostly I work on my projects.
Up until now, except when I don't have internet connection, I always sleep after 3 am. But it's not healthy? Are you sure?
What I believe is that, a short with high quality sleep is enough. Well, I hope At least the only problem I currently have is my wife treating to cut the internet connection.

Last November when Tom Aufiero was fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon on the landlocked Torch Lake, surely the last thing he expected was to catch the new world record, but somehow that's exactly what happened. The new record now stands at 26 pounds 12 ounces and is the new official IGFA All-Tackle world record for landlocked Atlantic Salmon. Caught on 6 pound test line!
"I was pulling my hair out, running out of hope having tried everything," said Supinski about Aufiero's fish. "I'd changed flies 16 or 17 times. Then I decided there must be some mysis shrimp in the lake and put one on figuring to give it one more try.
"Tom dead-drifted the shrimp and she saw it, then moved three to four feet off the bottom and just engulfed it. Tom, being a good steelhead fisherman, knew not to set the hook too early. Then he stuck the fish and all hell broke loose."Aufiero said he fought the salmon for 15 minutes and called it "a dogged fight," before landing the big female.
Atlantic salmon, which are prized for their fight, have historically been found only in two places in Michigan, the St. Mary's River and Torch Lake, where the state introduced them to create an Atlantic Salmon fishery. Atlantic salmon were once native to Lake Ontario but became extinct by 1900, according to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

The trial of Rod Blagojevich will continue on Monday. On Day 14, prosecutors continued the questioning of John Harris, Blago's ex chief of staff. The largely unreported bombshell was Harris' testimony that President Obama knew that Governor Blagoevich was plotting to trade the President's senate seat for a cabinet position:
"The president understands that the governor would be willing to make the appointment of Valerie Jarrett as long as he gets what he's asked for. . . . The governor gets the Cabinet appointment he's asked for," Harris said, explaining a recorded call.
Harris said Blagojevich came away believing Obama knew what he wanted after having a conversation with a local union representative, who in turn spoke with labor leader Tom Balanoff, with whom Blagojevich met to discuss a Jarrett appointment. Jarrett, now a White House adviser, was seeking the appointment to Obama's Senate seat.
The position of the White House to date is that the President knew nothing about Blago's attempts to sell the Obama seat. We know the President sent a number of representatives to Blago, including his union buddies Tom Balanoff and Andy Stern. We know that Rahm Emanuel entered into negotiations with Chief of Staff John Harris for the same seat.
Given the recent allegations that this administration tried to bribe Joe Sestak (D-PA) and Andrew Romanoff (D-CO) not to run in their respective primaries to protect Arlen Spector and Michael Bennet, it seems unlikely that the White House is telling us the truth. After all, the sort of horse trading Blago was indicted for seems more like the Chicago way than anything out of the ordinary.
The testimony puts more pressure on Judge Zagel to allow the defense to subpoena President Obama or at least release the interview he gave to the FBI.

LAS CRUCES — Would you hitchhike to space if you got a free ride?
Virgin Galactic, when courting Sierra County voters to OK a crucial sales tax to help fund Spaceport America more than four years ago, made an out-of-this world promise: If voters passed the tax, one person annually from Doña Ana or Sierra Counties would be given a free lift to suborbital space, once operations began.
A separate-but-similar pledge was made by the company in 2006, when it lobbied New Mexico legislators and the public to allocate a large chunk of state funding to build the spaceport.
For paying passengers, tickets are valued at $200,000.
Now that Virgin Galactic is edging closer and closer to the reality of suborbital spaceflight, with the first launches expected to happen at Spaceport America in December 2013, will the company remember those pledges?
Asked last week, George Whitesides, Virgin Galactic CEO for the past two years, said the company hasn't forgotten. But they have not had much free time to lay out the groundwork for sending residents to suborbital space.
The company has been preoccupied, so far, with creating the vehicles needed for spaceflight, Whitesides said.
"I think we're all open to the idea to figure out some structure to get New Mexicans into space," he said in a phone interview. "But there will be a lot of work to do that. We're very open to those ideas we discussed a couple of years ago."
Will Whitehorn, former Virgin Galactic president, made one of the promises to a crowd of attendees at a public meeting in Truth or Consequences in April 2008 — a few days prior to the community's vote on whether to pass the Sierra County portion of the spaceport sales tax. Proponents of the spaceport tax were attempting to drum up support in advance of a referendum. The measure did pass.
At the time, former New Mexico Spaceport Authority Executive Director Steve Landeene said there would be logistical challenges in giving away a free spaceflight, including that the recipient might have to pay a gift tax on the value.
"We're going to make sure we do everything we can to find a way," Landeene told the Sun-News, in April 2008.
Whitesides, too, said Friday there are plenty of challenges in arranging for that kind of give-away. He said they're not "unsolvable," but they're also not trivial. It will likely take work with attorneys and state officials about how to clear the hurdles, he said.
"I'm not saying, "no,'" he said.
A number of Sun-News readers said they'd jump at the chance for a free trip. A few expressed skepticism.
"I would go in a heartbeat," said Las Crucen Antoinette Jacquez, via Facebook. "It would be amazing to say "I've been to space.'"
Spaceport Authority Executive Director Christine Anderson, who was hired in early 2011, declined to comment for this article, indicating she wasn't with the agency at the time of Whitehorn's comments.
In 2007, Doña Ana County residents also voted to self-impose — though narrowly — a 1/4 of 1 percent sales tax on themselves, also to help pay for the construction of Spaceport America in southern Sierra County.
The earlier pledge was made in January 2006 at a news conference at former Gov. Bill Richardson's office in Santa Fe. That was just prior to the New Mexico Legislature's approval of the lion's share of funding to build the $209 million spaceport. Whitehorn pledged to leave one seat open on the inaugural spaceflight for a New Mexico resident, if the Legislature approved the funding, according to Sun-News archives. The resident would be selected by the government.
Spaceship update
Virgin Galactic's two-vehicle spaceflight system is still being developed in Mojave, Calif.
Whitesides said the project hit a major milestone last week, when it wrapped up the final stage of its subsonic, unpowered flight tests for its spaceship vehicle, SpaceShipTwo.
The next steps are to install a fuel tank and carry out the first rocket-powered flight, though Whitesides declined to say when that's expected to happen.
"It's coming up," he said.
A solid-liquid hybrid fuel will be used to power the spaceship.
Eventually, the spaceliner and its carrier plane, WhiteKnightTwo, are expected to launch from the under-construction Spaceport America, just north of Doña Ana County.
Meanwhile, Whitesides said Virgin Galactic is continuing to ramp up personnel numbers in Las Cruces. The company has an office off Roadrunner Parkway.

3. | humungus | ||
Something very large, big or gross. The most popular reference for it is the large, semi-naked, bald baddie called 'Humungus' in the film Mad Max 2 or, in the US, Road Warrior 2. 'Did you see the humungus crater on the waiter's face?'
'Melvin's feet are humungus!' |
1. | humungus | ||
1. The main villain from the movie Road Warrior. A frighteningly muscle-bound man in a strange (semi-nude) executioner-style getup, mostly balding wispy hairs (presumably due to radiation exposure), and speaking in a deep Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque accent. Possibly in homosexual relations to right-hand-man Wez, but don't you dare make fun of him. Nobody defies the Humungus. NOOUBODY! Well, except Max...
2. Alternately used to describe anyone overly intimidating and/or badass, but a bit quirky behind the scenes and possibly with a "touch of the lavender." 1. Greetings from the Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rollah!
2. Hitler was a HUMUNGUS Fuhrer. |
2. | Humungus | ||
A thrash band formed in 2010 from Richmond, Va. Humungus ripped everyone's faces off last night.

A condominium is a form of home ownership in which individual units of a larger complex are sold, not rented. These units may be renovated apartments, townhouses or even commercial warehouses. Contrary to popular belief, the word 'condominium' does not apply to the type of unit itself, but the legal ownership arrangement. Any multi-unit structure can 'go condominium', meaning occupants must either vacate the premises or purchase their apartments outright.
Those who purchase units in a condominium technically own everything from their walls inward. All of the individual homeowners have shared rights to most common areas, such as the elevators, hallways, pools and club houses. Maintenance of these areas becomes the responsibility of a condominium association. Every owner owns a share of interest in the condominium association, plus an obligation to pay monthly dues or special assessment fees for larger maintenance problems.
A condominium arrangement is not the best option for every potential homeowner. There can be a noticeable lack of privacy in the common areas--the pool must be shared with every other condominium owner, for example. Those who would prefer to own all of their amenities and maintain their own lawn and garden may want to pursue single home ownership options instead of a condominium. It can also be more difficult to sell a condominium unit as opposed to a home with acreage. Condo owners only own their units, not the ground beneath them.
Condominiums - Pros
Those who may benefit the most from condominium living are veteran apartment renters who don't mind having close neighbors. Others may not want to be bothered with external maintenance or the responsibility of lawn care. The overall price of a condominium townhouse may be much lower than an equivalent single-unit home. Buying a condominium does allow equity to build, unlike paying monthly rent in an apartment complex.
One thing to be aware of when living in a condominium setting is the political reality of an owners' association. Decisions may be made in monthly meetings which will cost individual owners more money, but not necessarily deliver equal benefits for all. It can be nearly impossible to avoid being affected by at least one condo board decision, so active participation in meetings and discussions may be more compulsory than you might expect. Condominium living may be more advantageous financially than apartment rentals, but it does require more active participation in community events.

Congratulations Torrington Middle School
Let me join many others in our Community in Congratulating the students of the Torrington Middle School for the Talent show a.k.a Friday Night Live. It was a sell out crowd. Bravo to the Principal, Staff and Students led by Ms.Ohara (Teacher of the Year) and other great teachers--Siss, Hurley, Boccola, for a job well done.
The star of the Night was a 7th grader Jacob Honig who played the "Alleluia". For me and others, a star was born and a future Hollywood Star. This young man wowed the crowd with his mastery. The parents of this young man must be proud of him! I am too.
Torrington is a town of superstars. If you did not attend this show, you missed alot!
Once again, BRAVO to TMS!
Supports Auriemma
Coach Auriemma, boy we are for you 110 percent. We know you didn't kiss that women. We know you are a wonderful, wonderful UCONN women's basketball coach. Good luck to you. I hope she gets thrown out of this program. You are wonderful Gino. We all love you and stand by you 110 percent.
Clean yourself up
I think it is very embarrassing on how some people that own a business, run a business present themselves and especially women. It is bad enough when you are representing a business and but when you are a woman and your mouth is filthy, you are nothing but a pig. I would never do business with women that have such foul disgusting mouths. It's pretty typical your business is in Torrington.
A thank you Continued...
I would like to thank the nurses and aids at Litchfield Woods Laurel unit floor for their wonderful care they gave my mother Pauline Fedor. God bless you all and thank you again.
About smoke shops
$5,000 plus for a permit to open a "smoke" shop? What is the legislature in Hartford smoking that they honestly think the average small business owner can afford such a fee? Perhaps if Donovan had not made the media via his flunkies this would not have come up to vote? Or, the vote might have been different? Donovan and his cronies had to vote "yea" on this.
Remember this in November when you vote. Today the "smoke" shops. Tomorrow a small business that you own just might look like a cash cow to the Democrats.
No A for Obama
In reply to Sound Off article, Wednesday, June 13, adulating President Obama "Gives Obama an A" What a gem piece. I cut it out of RC and framed it.
When I need reminder of what stupidity is I will read it. What are you smoking?
Misappropriation of funds?
A stunning revelation has come to light as a parking facility located next to the Hartford Courant is being upgraded and improved with funds that were supposed to go toward the Hartford - New Britain bus way. The ill conceived bus way is going to cost Connecticut taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to service maybe 1,500 passengers a day, has been a highly controversial spending boondoggle for months. The spending of taxpayer money to improve and upgrade a parking facility next to the Courant is unprecedented because it is not on the bus route. Critics have questioned the Malloy administration about the improvement as a way to reward the Courant for supporting the bus way project in various print, Internet and radio editorials. So far Malloy has refused to comment.
War on Florida Continued...
The Obama administration has declared war on Florida. The administration has filed a law suit to prevent the state of Florida from cleaning up the long ignored voter roles that may contain hundreds or thousands of deceased persons or illegal aliens. In an effort to prevent voter fraud, Florida is doing what it is legally bound to do by maintaining clean voter logs. Why would Obama sue Florida for doing the right thing which it is legally bound to do ?

dp | Route Climbed: south slopes Date Climbed: August 19, 2002 | |
This one was a "must climb" for me (former HMS fellow and faculty). Great climb and fun scrambling to the summit. It is interesting how the view from treeline is so deceptive, appearing as if Harvard is the lower summit. of the peaks in the basin. | ||

Speedy | Route Climbed: South Slopes from Horn Fork Basin Date Climbed: July 12, 2003 | |
Whew! This was my 8th (followed somewhat quickly by my 9th) fourteener, and it was quite nice. We hiked in the night before and camped at treeline, which was fun, and made today MUCH shorter than it could have been, though it was QUITE a long day when we added Columbia in. I really liked Harvard, though. The last 50 feet were a lot of fun clambering over big boulders to get to the summit! | ||

Made a high camp the night before at 11,300'. Time to get a filter, because lugging up 3 gallons of water to camp wore me out. Anyway, started up from camp at 6:45 and made the summit around 10:00. It was a great day for a hike and the trail was easy to follow. Had to make one rock climbing move with exposure about 30' below the summit. No big deal and it was a nice change of pace. Harvard is a fun mountain, but I can't say the same about Columbia. | ||

What a wonderful mountain. Wish I hadn't waited so long to climb it. The Frenchman Creek approach is a great way to climb it as it is the shortest route. We had great weather and had fun getting some beginners up their first 14er! | ||

Hiked up into Horn Fork Basin on Friday night; camped at treeline. The hike from here was beautiful. While in the basin, you're surrounded by gorgeous views in every direction. The scrambling from 13,200+ is a bit strenuous but I actually thought the last part of it was pretty fun. On the way down, I stopped at Bear Lake for some R&R. Then back to camp, and up Columbia on Sunday. | ||

I liked Harvard. Good Views of the Pine Creek Drainage. I also thought Horn Fork Basin was a cool place to camp. I enjoyed Harvard and Columbia more than Elbert or Massive, Yale,La Plata, Belford, Oxford,Shavano. | ||

Diggler | Route Climbed: S Ridge Date Climbed: 25 September, 1999 | |
Having wanted to summit Harvard after Columbia 2 weeks earlier, I wussed out after deciding that I didn't have enough time. The next time I made sure to do Harvard first, and then took Rabbit Ridge over to Columbia. Ascent from N Cottonwood Creek TH took 3:14, another 2:26 to get to Columbia, and finally 3:43 going down Columbia's SE Ridge to the CO/Main Range & Harvard Lakes TH. Quite a full day, but fun! | ||

Grant | Route Climbed: N Cottonwood Creek - 9,420 Date Climbed: Oct. 10, 2001 | |
I ended up adding an additional two miles to the day and about another 500 feet. The first six and half miles were really pretty easy and at about 13,000 feet the trail starts its climb up to the peak. I didn't recall reading that it was 1,400 feet in about three-quarters of a mile which caused me to stop allot and catch my breath I met a couple of guys and a dog from Colorado Springs on the last 600 feet or so. They weren't prepared for this particular hike and they had already run out of water. I told them that I had another bottle and I knew that I had about half of my water pouch left. The last 100 feet to the summit requires a little scrambling over some very large boulders and rock formations. I didn't think that the dog would make it and the owner ended up caring her over the last rock. It was pretty cold on top and I hovered behind a large rock. We sat at the summit for about twenty minutes. | ||

Summated harvard around 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. under cloudy skies during the '02 nolan's '14 endurance event. http://mattmahoney.net/nolans14/index.html Climbing with mahoney, we climbed the eastern slopes to the summit ridge and had come upon 3 people from nolan's who couldn't locate the summit and were having some trouble negotiating the summit ridge in the dark. They continued on with us and all 5 of us summated in a group. GOD bless! Praise JESUS!!!! | ||

the valley fills up with snow making this a tough peak to climb in the winter/fall. there are a lot of good camp sights along the way. I think the trip would be easyier if you summited columbia then harvard but I am not sure. The veiw from the summit is amazing but the last 50 feet or so gets icy so be carful | ||

Ed F | Route Climbed: North Cottonwood Trailhead - South Slopes (+Columbia) Date Climbed: June 13, 2002 | |
A difficult climb to Harvard. The traverse to Columbia was terribly difficult. I never did find the route described by Roach in his book. I dropped to nearly 11,500 ft. and climbed Columbia via a scree filled draw. A terrible route. Additionally, the descent from Columbia back to the NC trailhead was a 2,500 ft. scree slope. Made it back to my car much later than I intended to. I would have been in deep trouble had a storm rolled in. If you do this route, do some careful research. Roach calls it "arduous," and it certainly is. If I could go back I would do the peaks separately, and probably do Columbia via it's East slope. Remember that once you make the decision to do Columbia, you can't back out. It's between you and your car! | ||

Great weather and clear skies were nice to see after being surrounded by haze in the San Juans the week before. Made the summit before noon and had a nice relaxing lunch at 14,420 :) What a kind elevation. Harvard on it's own probably isn't that long of a day but when you add Columbia (which we did) it becomes a pretty tough day. | ||

Started from 4WD parking, which is at 10,600 - not 10,800 as the Roach guide says. Made summit under 4 hours under a hazy sky due to wildfires. Did not find a summit log, although there was a string of prayer flags attached on top. Saw lots of goats and marmots too. Nice day on a nice route. | ||

My husband and I and our 2 dogs backpacked in on a Friday and had the place to oursleves. I did a solo ascent of Harvard the next morning and (my husband does not like to climb) was back at base camp in time to enjoy the dogs playing in the creek. Never found trail on way up - just beelined where I thought I had to go. | ||

Saw this as an older thread here while doing a search on Google. Looked like a good topic to bring up again!
Where are the little out of the way places to eat in NW Ohio that you recommend?
I'll get us started out:
Elbo Room - 3500 W. Alexis, Toledo
The pizza crust is out of this world - so flaky that it's almost like a pastry! Don't miss this gem!
Lee Garden (Chinese) - Route 25, Perrysburg
Wonderful chinese spot - the hot and sour soup is fantastic! I usually get either the egg foo young chicken, the mongolian beef or the shrimp har kow. Mrs Shamrock loves the shrimp fried rice.
Doc's - Main Street, Tontogany
The ribs are some of the best I've ever had! They are very meaty and the sauce is outstanding.
What places do you recommend?
