"On the face of it, Steyerl's HOW NOT TO BE SEEN: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File (2013), which MoMA acquired earlier this year, is what its title purports it to be: a sly parody of an instructional video (the first part of the title borrowed from a Monty Python sketch). Each of the work's four sections outlines some tongue-in-cheek strategies to avoid being seen—from hiding in plain sight, to shrinking down to a unit smaller than a pixel, to living in a gated community, to being female and over 50 years old. A seemingly automated male voice reads out the instructions in a droll English accent, and Steyerl herself, along with several faceless figures (the kind you'd see in a simulated architectural model), demonstrate the proposed methods. Many of them, like to shrink, to swipe, and to take a picture, are accompanied by gestures familiar from the iPhone—pointing to the fact that the bodies in question here exist in (and take their choreographic cues from) a world that's at once virtual and material." – Leora Morinis

According to former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, some businessmen are looking at the economic data, and they're worried. The problem, from their perspective, isn't taxes. The problem isn't regulation. No; from what they can see, the problem is that the middle class — the people who buy their products — don't have enough money.
Mirabile dictu, some people are finally beginning to connect the dots.
As I've noted in this blog before, since 1999 real income has been declining for everyone in the bottom 80%. For those who need the explanation, you get paid today in nominal dollars; real dollars are nominal dollars after inflation has been taken into account. Theoretically, real wages stay flat when income increases match price increases, and rise when wage increases outpace price increases.
And in fact, nominal wage increases did outpace price increases throughout the Clinton Administration, such that the real wage increase by 2000 was 15.79% across the bottom 80%.[1] But from 1999 to 2012, real wages declined an average of 10.59% across the bottom 80%, until they were only marginally better than they had been in 1980; in the case of the bottom 20%, almost all gains were wiped out.
Real wages only tell part of the story. Between January 1983 and November 2013, personal savings dipped alarmingly, from 10.4% of disposable income to 4.2%, while the real consumer debt per household more than doubled, from $11,386 to $23,238. Between 1980 and 2012, the middle classes' share of aggregate income diminished from 51.7% to 45.7%; as of 2010, the bottom 80% had only 11% of total net worth and 5% of financial wealth. And while median net worth and financial wealth decreased across racial lines, for the average black and Hispanic household such things practically disappeared between 2006 and 2010.[2]

Water Taxi
recommendation by dyii
Metro, bus and taxis are one of the most traditional and popular public transportation. In Seoul, there's another way you can move around - the Water taxi! The water taxi that passes by the Han river, which crosses in the middle of the city. Not as romantic as the one in Venice, but they're very fast, cheap and safe.
They have two types of service: as for 'taxi' or for customized 'sightseeing'. In case of use of 'sightseeing', the rate (around 35€) is charged per one ride, not per one person.

John Marin Revealed
This past weekend, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art opened its fall exhibition, John Marin: Modernism at Midcentury. The exhibition, which brings together 65 of Marin's paintings in oil and watercolor, takes a fresh and focused look at the artist's last great body of work, created between 1933 and 1953, the year of Marin's death.
During those years, Marin wrestled with the planar architectonics of Cubism—so much a part of his production as an early modernist—finally allowing the tension created by cubist form to relax into loose, flowing lines of great descriptive power and urgency. An active agent in the art world of mid-century America, as well as a tried and true observer of nature, Marin produced work in these years that deeply influenced the emerging experimentation of the New York School.
John Marin (1870–1953), Composition, Cape Split, Maine, No. 2, 1933, oil on canvas, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, 1969.9
Our museum's interest in this underappreciated period of Marin's long and innovative career began quite early in our history. In 1969, the Amon Carter purchased Marin's Composition, Cape Split, No. 2, created in 1933. That acquisition in our first decade of operation foreshadowed what is now being celebrated in the exhibition: Marin's ongoing influence on the energetic and often chaotic art world of mid-century America. The artist's painterly exuberance in this work marked the start of his period of experimentation between the mediums of oil and watercolor, and it exemplifies his achievement of a lyrical synthesis of the two.
It is fair to say this painting has not gotten its proper due until now. The authentic character of the painting only recently was able to be fully appreciated as Marin's application of paint and the true colors of his palette lay hidden beneath a thick, shiny layer of old, discolored varnish. Claire Barry and Bart Devolder, the museum's conservators, expertly removed the varnish in preparation for the exhibition. We are now able to see what Marin intended us to see: a fresh-matte surface and the physicality of brushstrokes that transform the viscosity of the oil medium into a view of the roiling seas of Pleasant Bay near the artist's home at Cape Split in Addison, Maine. It is a wonder among wonders in John Marin: Modernism at Midcentury, on view at the Amon Carter until January 8, 2012.
The Hidden History of Paintings
On Friday, October 21, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art announced a major new acquisition: Mary Cassatt's Woman Standing, Holding a Fan. Completed in 1879, Cassatt made this painting at a critical point in her career. As a young artist living in Paris, she met and began working with the incomparable Edgar Degas. Their relationship was dynamic, and they worked together nearly every day during this period. Degas challenged Cassatt to experiment with new techniques and subject matter as they both explored their identities as modern artists; he would invite her to exhibit with the Impressionists the very year that our new work was completed.
A painting, however, is never frozen in time; it moves from the artist's easel through a circuitous path of environments and communities. A work of art's provenance, or history of ownership, can be fascinating and provides a window into an artist's evolving reputation, as well as into the history of taste. Charting provenance requires a detective's mind, finding clues wherever possible. Often times such a clue comes from the back of the painting, where inscriptions or labels on the canvas' stretcher are traces of its passage through time and space. Such is the case with the museum's new Cassatt. Written on the stretcher, in bold, black letters, are a single word and a number: VOLLARD 5165.
The name references Ambrose Vollard, the Parisian dealer who Cassatt met around 1896. Vollard's aggressive promotion of modern art attracted Cassatt to his gallery, and by 1904 he was buying work from the artist to present to his clientele. The inscription is the dealer's inventory number, indicating that sometime after 1904, Vollard purchased Woman Standing, Holding a Fan for his gallery's stock.
As objects, works of art have many stories to tell, both in what they represent on the canvas and in what might be hidden behind. Woman Standing, Holding a Fan is on view in our gallery, so be sure to visit soon to see our latest addition.
New Cassatt Painting on View
Today a new masterpiece is hanging in our galleries—Woman Standing, Holding a Fan by Mary Cassatt. The work, created in 1878–79, is one of only two known canvases painted by the artist almost entirely in the medium of distemper and represents a key moment in her transformation into an Impressionist.
Read more about the work in today's New York Times and the Star-Telegram. And, be sure to see this beautiful painting in person.

ACMAA: Both a Museum and a Research Destination
Last week while preparing a brief lecture, I was reminded of my first introduction to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. In 1987, Doreen Bolger (then curator at the ACMAA and now director of the Baltimore Museum of Art) hired me to be a Philadelphia-based research assistant on an exhibition exploring the work of the American artist William Michael Harnett. Though I never made it to Fort Worth to see the beautiful paintings by Harnett in this museum's collection, for more than a year I scoured the records in Philadelphia libraries and historical societies searching for information on the patrons who commissioned works from the nineteenth-century trompe l'oeil artist. As rigorous research will, mine on Harnett uncovered networks—relationships between the artist and his patrons that showed how Harnett's realistic still lifes of "old things" captivated a new group of professionals at the center of the country's modernization: the media, manufacturing, and retail shopping.
What impressed me at the time was how serious the Amon Carter's leadership was about research. They clearly understood that when an exhibition project advances knowledge, related historical research makes the art all the more relevant to visitors' own lives. The museum's painting by Harnett, Ease (1887), benefited from my archival digging. I discovered that the original owner, James Abbe, belonged to that network of patrons transforming the modern American world. Abbe, a paper manufacturer and newspaper publisher in Massachusetts, ordered the work from Harnett. At the center of the composition filled with Abbe's personal bric-a-brac and books, a newspaper rests on a tabletop where a burning cigar has been set, as though Abbe has just left the room and will return shortly.
William M. Harnett (1848–1892), Ease, 1887, oil on canvas, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, 1972.2
Understanding how works of art gained meaning in their own day—how they were part of social networks—requires committed study; this is what I learned as an employee of the ACMAA more than twenty-years ago. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art has been committed to such study for all of its history. We are known as an art museum filled with masterworks, but we are also a known research destination for the city, the region, and the nation. Come to the museum to see a work like Harnett's Ease, then visit our research library and archives to mine the riches of life.
Collaboration in the Cultural District
On Thursday of last week I worked with my installation crew to hang a painting and two related drawings by Alexander Hogue, a Texas artist who during the 1930s earned a national reputation for his depictions of the Dust Bowl. Completed in 1934, Drouth Stricken Area is arguably Hogue's masterpiece from this period. His approach is not documentary, but rather surrealist, producing a haunting, nearly airless view of a Texas farm wrecked by drought and erosion; an emaciated cow stands helplessly in front of the dust-filled water trough, his death eminent.

Hogue's painting served as a warning of the dangers of poor land use fueled by greed. As he said at the time, "That is what the landscape will be if they don't let the government do its work." Aside from the particular social circumstances of the Depression era, Hogue's portrayal of the devastated Dust Bowl landscape touches on a theme that artists in the American tradition have long pursued. The environment –a passing storm, a vibrant sunset, a verdant wheat field—serve as emblems of larger social circumstances. Nature and its changeable state tell a story about human fears and aspirations. When you next visit the Amon Carter, take time to look at Hogue's painting and then compare it to Martin Johnson Heade's Thunderstorm on Narragansett Bay (1868).

Drouth Stricken Area is in the permanent collection of the Dallas Museum of Art, and we are grateful to have it on view; it offers our visitors the opportunity to see a masterful work by this artist as well as for the Amon Carter to be a part of a collaborative venture within Fort Worth's Cultural District. Down the street, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is hosting a retrospective of Hogue's work. Though he is best known for his surreal meditations on drought and erosion during the Dust Bowl era, Hogue continued to paint until his death in 1998. Walking through the exhibition, I found myself face to face with an artist of prodigious talent constantly experimenting with style and subject matter, though always coming back to the landscape of his immediate world. His late series of large scale paintings of the Big Bend are fierce and beautiful simultaneously, and they are on view down the street in their entirety for the first time.
Working together, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History have created a unique opportunity to not only see the full scope of Hogue's significant achievement, but also to understand his work as part of the long tradition of American landscape painting. Be sure to visit both museums this fall. You will not be disappointed.
New Loan on View
This week our Cultural District neighbor, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (FWMSH), opens a retrospective on American artist Alexandre Hogue (1898–1994). The exhibition, Alexandre Hogue: An American Visionary–Paintings and Works on Paper, includes more than 150 oil paintings, drawings and field sketches, primarily of Southwest landscapes. The exhibition is organized by the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi.
In collaboration, the Amon Carter is exhibiting one of Hogue's major oil paintings, Drouth Stricken Area (1934), and two related drawings, on loan from the Dallas Museum of Art.
Both are on view from September 24 through November 27. Admission to the Amon Carter is free. For the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History's exhibition ticket information, visit fortworthmuseum.org or call 817.255.9540.

We Remember
On the ten-year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, I spent part of my day at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History viewing a three-story panel from the 101st to the 103rd floors of the World Trade Center's North Tower. The FWMSH holds this artifact as a permanent part of its collection now, a remnant from a still present tragedy and a constant reminder that carried me to memories of that day, the lives lost, and the wars that followed. It also made me think of how an object has the power to transport you out of the routine of the everyday to one of reflection and insight. At over thirty-six feet tall and six feet wide, this steel façade enveloped me into the scale of the tragedy.
Standing there made me think of a series of works of art that has preoccupied me of late and that references another tragedy in our nation's history. In 1968, the artist Leonard Baskin was commissioned by the National Park Service to illustrate a commemorative volume for the Custer Battlefield National Monument. At that time, the Battle of the Little Big Horn (June 25, 1876) stood as the most memorialized human tragedy in American history. But unlike artists before him, Baskin chose not to focus on the "reality" of the military battle, but rather on the human tragedy wrought in the faces of Indians and the officers in a series of moving portraits. As then director of the Amon Carter, Mitch Wilder observed, "We see man's mortality, brutality, and futility. And yet we read in the faces of Baskin's people the basic humanity which ties us together in a tragic climax no one seems to comprehend."
Wilder's words could just as easily apply to the World Trade Center artifact; works of art or historic artifacts have the power to touch our basic humanity even when beyond comprehension. One of the watercolor-and-ink drawings that Baskin made for the commission, An Oglala Sioux, is currently on view in the exhibition at our museum The Allure of Paper.

This is my first blog post as director of the Amon Carter. I hope you'll check in and let me know your thoughts as I share mine with you; I'll be posting every other Tuesday.

The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
from Utopia by Thomas More (1515 – 1516)
Thomas More was a visionary, and his imagination shows such a depth in his writings. He had a fascination with Roman and Greek myths and beliefs which are displayed throughout this text. Unlike a lot of material from the time, Utopia is relatively easy to understand. He was more a politician than an author, and with this piece he simply tried to convey his vision of the Island of Utopia.
His vision is of a perfect world. The scene is set on an imaginary island, with it's own society and customs. There are no problems, no unloving relationships, no proletarians, and no division of classes. It is a world where everyone loves, and everyone is equal.

NORWICH The Chenango County 911 Dispatch Center was inundated with phones calls reporting a growing grass fire along County Rt. 32 in the Town of Norwich Tuesday.
The Norwich Fire Department responded to the brush fire at 3:32 p.m. at 6159 East River Road and discovered several trees, a collapsed barn and about half an acre of farm field engulfed in flames.
Chief Tracy Chawgo said the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but crews suspected debris escaping from a nearby burning trash barrel to be the culprit.
Our first concern when we arrived was containing the fire, said the chief. The brush fire burned less than 50 yards from Horstmans Trailer Park in the Town of Norwich, he explained.
We go through this twice a year, at the beginning of summer, with people cleaning up their lawns and the dry weather. Later in the fall, well see the same kind of thing, said Chawgo.

Ghost Recon Future Solider Amasses 600,000 Beta Players
The recent Ghost Recon Future Solider beta testing turned out to be a massive success, with over 600,000 players taking to it like a fish to water and joining the action in the futuristic shooter. A turn-out developers Ubisoft no doubt will be happy with.
To show how successful and also how important the beta testing was, gaming website MP1st retrieved some interesting statistics from the beta.
- Over 600,000 players
- 1.706,013 hours played
- 9,816,310 data hacks
- 3,021,628,150 bullets shot
- 99,474,068 kills
- 2,387,377 melee kills
- 16,101,688 long-range kills
- 3,040 level -50 players
Some outstanding stats for a beta test that only lasted a short period of time, a interesting statistic was the average player lifespan, which only accumulated to 54 seconds, a bit low for a stealth game don't you think. But hey it is multiplayer.
The game. which is a more futuristic taste on the Ghost Recon series, takes place in the near future were a dirty bomb has taken out a Ghost team. Another Ghost team is then tasked with tracking down the source of the dirty bomb in a range of Countries from Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia and Norway. Sounds like a solid single player, also you have the never ending multiplayer to play with.
Ubisoft released a short video thanking ever single player who participated in the beta, it can be viewed below. Ghost Recon will be making its way to stores tomorrow for North American fans, with a release date in Europe set for the 25th of May.

Boil the pasta as instructed on the package. I made 3/4 of a package of rigatoni and mine went for about 13 minutes. When they are done, drain but don't rinse.
1 1/2 cup mushrooms
1 cup onion
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
3 1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 cans tuna
Saute the mushrooms and onion in the butter for 10 minutes. Sprinkle over some salt just to help them release the water. Once the onions are very translucent and the mushrooms have shrunk into tiny pieces, add in the flour. Cook for another 2 minutes then start adding in the milk.
Fold in the drained pasta and pour into a baking dish.
Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and bake in a 400 degrees oven for 20 minutes. The cheese should be melted and some parts should have turned a golden brown.

Despite banks blowing the whistle on bad loans, the Nirav Modi show goes on
Nirav Modi opened a new store in Macau about a week ago (Photo: Nirav Modi)
Just about a week ago, diamond jeweller Nirav Modi opened a new store in Macau. Barely three months ago, he had opened a second store in DLF Emporio's Chanakya mall in New Delhi, with plans for another one, in Bengaluru, later this year.

Modi has been relentless in building his brand regardless of banks having a problem of fraudulent and unauthorised transactions with his companies. His website is running Valentine's Day promotions beside pictures of Hollywood celebrities wearing his jewellery and details of the fashion shows he sponsored recently.
Modi's ambition was to expand to 100 stores by 2020, not unusual for a brand that is trying to grow. He has boutiques in New York, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Singapore and Beijing. There is one store in London, three stores in Macau, and four stores in Hong Kong, where Modi's sister Purvi Mehta is based and runs the company's design division. Besides Bengaluru, another boutique was slated to open in London.
All this could be derailed now, as lenders to Modi, his company Firestar Diamond and other firms huddle into emergency meetings to try and figure out what their exposure in either loans or bank guarantees to the diamond company is.
On Tuesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation received two complaints from Punjab National Bank (PNB) against Modi and a jewellery company, alleging fraudulent transactions worth about $1.8 billion. Calls and emails made to Nirav Modi and Firestar CFO Vipul Ambani were not returned till the time of going to press.
One mainstream gold jeweler, who has been in the trade for over two decades and declined to be named, said banks giving funds to fraudulent companies was not an isolated instance.
He added there was a scramble of private equity funds and banks in search for "rock star businesses" to fund and maximise investments, while these companies "promise 24 per cent internal rate of return, launch multiple stores and deploy endless amounts with fancy media campaigns to support the whole illusion".
As a jeweller with multiple stores, he said he knew the ground reality of sales and profits especially in the past two years, given the note ban as well as the goods and services tax roll-out.
Others in the industry do not condone Nirav Modi's pattern of behaviour. Pramod Agarwal, chairman of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, said, "While it is the endeavour of every industry body to regulate behaviour of its members and enforce standards, the reality is that we cannot control the behaviour of a few stray elements. Nor do we support it."
A decade-long apprenticeship under his uncle Mehul Choksi in Mumbai gave Modi training on everything from diamond polishing to retail, after which he decided to get involved in building his own brand. But before all that, there were a string of acquisitions in the US. In 2005, he acquired the wholesale division of Frederick Goldman, a national diamond retailer.
Two years later, he bought Sandberg & Sikorski, the largest jewellery supplier to the US Armed Forces, and A Jaffe, a 120-year luxury bridal jewellery label, for $50 million. The acquisitions supported the private-label business, supplying to the military, as well as to department stores JC Penney, Costco and jewellery retailer Zales.
In 2009, Firestar, Modi's wholesale business, opened offices in Hong Kong, South Africa, Belgium, Dubai, Armenia and Russia, following which in 2010, the Nirav Modi brand was launched. In 2012, Modi also acquired Fantasy Diamond, a jewellery wholesaler. He brought in professionals to do what he could not. Angelina Ypma, global president at Nirav Modi, once worked for Bulgari and Cartier, while Vipul Ambani was brought in as CFO from institutional brokerage firm Tower Capital where he was a senior executive.
Modi, who never counted the jewellery fraternity as part of his core universe has said in the past that most of his friends ended up being accountants. The bent of mind was what they had in common, he would say.

LOS ANGELES, CA --Vincent Chase and his entourage are jumping from the small screen to the big-screen.
Warner Bros. confirmed Wednesday that a film version of the HBO hit series "Entourage" is in the works.
Series creator Doug Ellin is writing and directing the film, which does not yet have a production start date or release date. The studio also has not finalized the cast.
"Entourage" ran for eight seasons and followed the Hollywood exploits of hot young actor Vince (Adrian Grenier) and his inner circle, including Kevin Connolly as his manager, Kevin Dillon as his half brother, Jerry Ferrara as an old neighborhood friend and Jeremy Piven as his slick super-agent.

Steamboat briefs: Minor accidents Saturday involve 5 vehicles
January 3, 2010
Steamboat Springs — Five vehicles were involved in two crashes Saturday afternoon on U.S. Highway 40.
The two crashes involved vehicles rear-ending one another in the westbound lanes of U.S. 40 near 13th Street at about 4:15 p.m. Saturday, Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said. A car and a sport utility vehicle were involved in one crash; a car, a truck and another car were involved in a related crash behind the first, Elliott said.
All the cars had minor damage, and no one was injured, Elliott said. The crashes happened because drivers were following too closely on icy roads, he said.
"The roads were icy. … All the slush that had been melting during the day had just frozen. … The drivers need to pay attention and give themselves greater following distance," Elliott said. The left lane of westbound U.S. 40 was closed for about 10 minutes, he said.
Library Shakespeare group to read 'Romeo and Juliet'
Bud Werner Memorial Library hosts "Romeo and Juliet, Here and Now," a free Shakespeare reading group that runs six consecutive Wednesdays, from Feb. 3 to March 16. "Romeo and Juliet" was written more than 400 years ago and set in the small Italian town of Verona, yet it continues to speak with power to people across the world. It is a compelling story of young love, impulsive teenagers and ineffectual adults who try to help them. It is about deep-seated biases in a small town. And it is Shakespeare in his poetic prime. Led by veteran English teacher Sally Frostic, this group is limited to 15 participants who want to enjoy the play again or for the very first time. The workshop is designed to stimulate enjoyment and discussion and be attuned to group's needs and interests. The library will provide copies of the book to loan to all participants. Contact Adult Programs Coordinator Jennie Lay at 879-0240, ext. 317 or firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up or get more information.

Just thinking about cleaning out the attic or garage can be a nightmare.
Whether it's your home or a family member's, those boxes could be full of treasure.
Matt McNeil, with OKCEstateSales.com, said before you throw everything away, consider having it appraised.
Items that may seem like junk could be worth quite a bit.
McNeil said, "A lot of time laymen get overzealous and they tend to want to pitch everything in the dumpster."
McNeil said things don't need to be more than 100 years old in order to have value.
One of the hot items to look for is old furniture.
McNeil said, "Forty years ago no one wanted mid-century modern furniture; today it's one of the hottest commodities out there."
Another hot item, old toys.
McNeil said, "Baby boomers are buying back their toys."
They are paying a pretty penny.
Even those 19th century family photos of people you never knew could be worth something to the right buyer.
Specifically McNeil said those photos showing a confederate soldier or kids and dogs.
McNeil said there are also strange items you should look for when cleaning out.
"I know lots of people who throw away dental gold," he said. "Remember dental gold is 16k gold and with gold as high as it is, it's got value."
Though not everything has a price tag.
"It's a common misperception that there are always going to be treasures in the attic," McNeil said. "My grandmother, for instance, had daisy churns missing their lids and melted Christmas ornaments and 50-year-old canceled checks and lots of brown recluse spiders."
Old kitchenware and clothing from your grandmother may hold sentimental value but chances are it was mass-produced making it worth very little at a sale.
With changing technology, those old cell phones and VHS players you've held on to are likely better recycled.
"Some obsolete technology does have value, like an antique Victrola for example, but for the most part, obsolete technology is just that, obsolete technology," he said. "My crew and I tend to call them boat anchors."
When it comes to those sentimental items, Matt said there's nothing wrong with holding on to them.
He said the best way to know what you have is to have an expert go through your old stuff.
After all, you may think some things are worthless, but to the right collector, they could be worth a lot of money.

New Kid on the Block.
Submitted by Bibliotecher on December 23, 2009 - 10:38am
I'm completely new to this LIS website and have no idea what I am doing. So I'm just going to copy and paste all of my previous blog entries here for the heck of it.

One day, the girls decided to have a beach party. They set out towels, got out the swim goggles and flip flops. They were soon in swimming suits, also. We turned on the Beach Boys. They had a fabulous time. And I thought they were crazy because it was -5 below. I turned the heat up so they wouldn't freeze in their swimming suits! They had a grand time though.
Eating continues on as it has been.
This month, there has been an interesting thing about naps. When McKenna sleeps for her nap, she is super emotional for the rest of the day. If she doesn't, as I mentioned last time, she is happy as can be but mischievous So I wonder...which is preferable? I am not sure.
I have started putting her down for naps earlier most days. Brinley is up into the afternoon, so I will put McKenna down at the same time as Brinley since their rooms are right next to each other.
McKenna is a person who is pretty much always moving. She will sit down and sit still for books and she does enjoy to sit and do art projects and learning activities. Other than that, she is a mover.
Her favorite days are days that there is no school for Brayden and Kaitlyn. When it is just her and I at home, I do some playing with her. Her favorite thing to do with me is to play with playdough or to play board games.
McKenna is incredibly good with Brinley. When Brinley cries, she does her best to help her be happy. She never complains about the crying. She is patient and calm, which is great since she sits by her in the car.
McKenna also has no problem with Brinley scratching or grabbing her. She lets Brinley grab at her face and hair and just laughs. The other day Brinley got a fistful of hair out of McKenna's head, and for the first time McKenna said, "Ow!" Then she laughed and told me Brinley pulled her hair out. Then she said, "Oh well. At least hair grows back!" Wow.
The first Sunday in January, McKenna went from the nursery at church to the primary. I am told she is good, but I have observed that she has a hard time staying seated...which isn't shocking if you refer to my "playtime" section above. The primary president told me she isn't a problem--that she always obeys when they tell her to sit back down. While I am grateful for their patience, I will be working with her to try to get her to a point where she will control herself and stay in her seat when she is supposed to. I don't want her to be a distraction long-term. When I verbally talk to her about it all, she knows all the right answers. She knows what she should be doing. I think she just needs some physical practice to get better at the task. Perhaps she also needs some maturity. I know it isn't asking too much of a child her age to do this, though I also think it is harder for her individually than it was for Brayden and Kaitlyn at this age.
7:30--Wake up and eat breakfast. Get ready. She then can play with siblings.
9:00-- Chores then independent playtime
10:30--Time with Mommy
3:00--Get up. Play with Kaitlyn. Learning activities.
4:30---TV Time
6:00--Family Activities
7:00--Get ready for bed

The Luggage Hauler Land Rover Discovery 4
Land Rover Discovery 4
Architecture :
It might have spent the past couple of years being bashed by eco-types, but the Land Rover Discovery is unarguably a superb way of hauling huge amounts of kit. The boxy, utilitarian styling means you can either bolt in six mates of fold flat the rear-most seats or stuff in half a house. For 2010, it's also been given a hefty facelift. It now looks more like a Range Rover Sport, with the plastic-tinged cabin ditched in favour of something resembling a high-end City bar.
For £32k, you will get an improved diesel engine, and, because it's a Land Rover, it'll still dominate the most brutal terrain you throw at it.

The Dance Conservatory of Denver, or the DCD as it is commonly referred to, is a school dedicated to helping students learn professional dancing in a caring and happy atmosphere. Here, students learn more than just how to dance. They also learn respect for their bodies, the muscle groups in their bodies, discipline, and above all, they develop a healthy passion for the arts.
Registration is for an entire school year, as in other dance schools from September to June. Since class space at the Dance Conservatory of Denver is limited, students are encouraged to register early. Otherwise, they may be put on a waiting list.
This annual tuition can be paid yearly or on a monthly basis. However, your class placement is not reserved until at least the first monthly payment is received. In addition to this monthly tuition, there is a small non-refundable registration fee of $25. After this, all monthly tuition is due on the first of the month. Any payment that is received after the 10th of each month incurs a late fee of $20. To make things easier, an automatic payment plan can be requested. This would involve a direct debit of your bank account or credit card account on the 1st of each month.
Each and every student is given a small handbook that must be read thoroughly by both students and parents alike. All the rules of the school and DCD expectations for students are listed clearly in this small handbook.
Once registered, the fun can begin! The Dance Conservatory of Denver takes ages from as little as 3 years old, which is commonly referred to as the pre-ballet class. Then the other classes for young children are divided into the elementary ballet & tap class, which is for ages 5 and up. This is followed by the intermediate ballet and jazz class level 1, which is for ages 7 and up. This is often followed by intermediate ballet and jazz level 2. The level 2 class has a requirement that its students must at least have completed 1 year of intermediate ballet and jazz.
Then the real work begins as students get older. The pre-professional ballet class has classes twice per week followed by the pre-professional ballet 2 & pointe class, which also have 2 obligatory classes per week. Tuition ranges from $100 to $125 per month.

Dr. Vishnu Reddy's research focuses on asteroids, meteors, and meteorites in the Solar System. Currently, Dr. Reddy's primary focus is surface composition of asteroids. He is currently working on three spectroscopy projects: a) Olivine-rich asteroids, b) Surface composition analysis of NEOs, b) Baptistina asteroid family (BAF) and their link to the K/T Impact.
Dr. Reddy started obtaining photometric data of asteroids in 2004 using small robotic telescopes around the world in collaboration with Petr Pravec (Ondrejov Observatory, Czech Republic) as part of a binary asteroid survey. Over the last few years, he has determined the rotation period of 60 Main Belt asteroids and 21 NEOs. Apart from rotation period, he discovered/co-discovered the binary nature of nine new binary asteroid systems. Dr. Reddy is member of the Framing Camera (FC) team on NASA's Dawn mission to asteroids Vesta and Ceres. He works in close collaboration with the FC team at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (Germany) developing science tools and analyzing the multi-color data.

I recently had to perform a system restore on a Windows XP computer, and now the system's user can't access our Windows Server 2003 domain. What happened?
System Restore has a few irritating quirks, and you've run into one of them. Fortunately, this one is easily resolved. By default, XP users must change their domain password every 30 days; my guess is that at least one password-change interval had passed on the system in question. When you performed the restore, you returned the system to a restore point that was saved before the most recent password change. This created a conflict with information stored in Active Directory (AD). In your case, the password stored on the local system was probably reset to an earlier password. Therefore, the password no longer matches the password stored in AD. Remove the user from the domain, then add the user back to the domain. For more information about password-related problems that can appear after you operate System Restore, see the Microsoft article "Issues with domain membership after a system restore" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295049).

It's not about youQuote:
I know what many of you were thinking. You thought that, had the Ravens lost to the Bengals, I would have the audacity to go off of one game and plaster this great message board of ours with a half dozen 'I told you so' threads. The reality, however, is that nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is, that the only thread I need to make this week is one about....................................................................................................EATIN SOME CAPTAIN CRUNCH FOR BREAKFAST BABY!! Jason Witten for the win!! Lololololololol.
I told you I had something for yo' ass for mocking me with that he-she during the draft. Last year, you somehow managed to snap my five game winning streak against you. Well I'm fittin' to start another one. 1 down. 4 to go.

Would You Let Alec Baldwin and Jimmy Fallon Play With Your Look?
We probably wouldn't, but that doesn't mean that this bit isn't an instant classic.
While it's tough to make an argument that NBC's recent transition of late night power has been anything other than a hilarious disaster, there is one bright spot on their late night dance card: the Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show. After flop sweating his way through his debut episode, Fallon has not only been looking increasingly comfortable as host of the show, but it's become clear that his background as an SNL performer gives the show some comedic flexibility that his competitors can't currently match. Take, for instance, last night's appearance by an increasingly husky-looking Alec Baldwin. Fallon and Baldwin resurrected the "Let Us Play With Your Look" characters, a couple of European fashionistas who made their original appearance when Will Ferrell was out on the Land of the Lost promotional trail. As you might expect, Baldwin is more than game to play along with the extremely silly conceit, and no matter what your opinions are of Fallon, there's no denying that he fully commits to his character in this bit.
And just because we can, here's the original Will Ferrell clip for your viewing enjoyment.
