Tuesday night's annual Whitney Museum Gala, this year sponsored by AOL, Akris and Saks Fifth Avenue, brought out the usual suspects of art world heavyweights like Brooke Neidich, Anne Bass, Jeff and Justine Koons, Tom Sachs and Beth Rudin DeWoody for an evening of cocktails, dinner and a special musical performance. So naturally, when Tony Bennett strolled through the entryway, many wondered whether he was the surprise guest crooner.

"No, not tonight," he said. "But I'm flying out tomorrow to San Francisco to sing at Game One of the World Series and then I fly to D.C. to perform at Jon Stewart's rally this weekend. I'll be singing 'America the Beautiful.'"
Not far behind Bennett was Claire Danes, one of the hosts of the younger kids' Studio Party later downstairs, who admitted that she's pretty daunted by art, even though her parents are artists.
"I'm kind of spoiled because I have a lot of friends that are artists, too, but collecting can be intimidating. I did pick up some good art in China," she said.
John Legend performed during dinner, before heading to the museum's basement along with Chuck Close and Andy Spade, where they joined the palm tree-decorated, jam-packed Studio Party that was part model go see (thanks to co-chairs Lily Donaldson and Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman and Sasha Pivovarova) and part drunken male rager (two particularly intoxicated fellows got into a drinks throwing match).
"I feel like I'm in 'Sex and the City,'" sniped one partygoer.

Indian Reorganization Act, also called Wheeler–Howard Act, (June 18, 1934), measure enacted by the U.S. Congress, aimed at decreasing federal control of American Indian affairs and increasing Indian self-government and responsibility. In gratitude for the Indians' services to the country in World War I, Congress in 1924 authorized the Meriam Survey of the state of life on the reservations. The shocking conditions under the regimen established by the Dawes General Allotment Act (1887), as detailed in the Meriam report of 1928, spurred demands for reform.
Congress adopted the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, which was designed to effect an orderly transition from federal control to native self-government. The essentials of the new law were as follows: (1) allotment of tribal lands was prohibited, but tribes might assign use rights to individuals; (2) so-called…
Many of the Meriam report's recommendations for reform were incorporated in the Indian Reorganization Act. The act curtailed the future allotment of tribal communal lands to individuals and provided for the return of surplus lands to the tribes rather than to homesteaders. It also encouraged written constitutions and charters giving Indians the power to manage their internal affairs. Finally, funds were authorized for the establishment of a revolving credit program for tribal land purchases, for educational assistance, and for aiding tribal organization.
About 160 tribes or villages adopted written constitutions under the act's provisions. Through the revolving credit fund, many Indians improved their economic position. With the funds for purchase of land, millions of additional acres were added to the reservations. Greatly improved staffs and services were provided in health and education, with more than half of all Indian children in public school by 1950. The act awakened a wider interest in civic affairs, and Indians began asking for the franchise, which they had been technically granted in 1924.
The Reorganization Act remains the basis of federal legislation concerning Indian affairs. The act's basic aims were reinforced in the 1960s and '70s by the further transfer of administrative responsibility for reservation services to the Indians themselves, who continued to depend on the federal government to finance those services.

Feed mill sensor technology is now headed for combines.
An electronic sensor used in feed mills to measure density and moisture of feed is being adapted to combines to give a farmer the same measurements on crops as he drives down the field.
The sensor, developed by AgriChem, works in conjunction with a combine's existing yield monitor. "With different varieties, hybrids and genetically modified grains, the more we know about what we are harvesting the better we can put a tag on that material when it goes into the bin," says Dr. Jonathon Chaplin, agricultural engineer at the University of Minnesota, who tested the product.
Quality indicators. So why is knowing density and moisture of grain, in particular, so important? Moisture is an indication of how well the grain will store. If it is too high in moisture, it needs to be dried before being stored or it will spoil. Existing yield monitors can measure moisture, but not as well as the new sensor can, according to Dave Greer, president of AgriChem.
Density, or "test weight," is an index of the percentage of starches and sugars present in the grain that give the grain value as feed, alcohol or other end uses. "For instance, 60-lb. corn is good stuff, 50 lbs. is not so good," Greer explains.
Elevators rely on these measurements to determine whether to accept or reject your grain. But knowing them yourself gives you several advantages, Greer says.
One advantage is that it can help you negotiate a fair price for the grain when it comes time to sell. "If you know what you have when you go to sell it you are in a firmer position than if you are relying on trying to sell it to the person who is appraising it for you," Greer says.
Another advantage is that it can help you sort grain during harvest. For example, if you come to a patch of grain that is high in moisture, you can skip over that area to give it more of a chance to dry in the field, thereby saving on drying costs.
Or if you are growing grain on specification and an area is below the density required by the buyer, you can put that grain in a separate truck and reroute it to a different point of sale where it will be accepted. That saves on transport costs.
How it works. The sensor, which works off of a combine's 12v power system, is mounted on the clean grain auger of the grain tank. The grain passes through a test cell where both its moisture content and test weight are determined electronically. The location of each reading is picked up by a yield monitor's Global Position-ing System.
All of the information is sent to a touch-screen display module in the cab for processing and storage. The data can be downloaded to an office computer. Using GIS mapping software, the density and moisture levels throughout a field can be mapped toshow what management actions need to be taken.
Field tested. Last year a prototype was mounted on a John Deere 9510 and tested by the University of Minnesota on 1,500 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat. Researchers included Dr. Jonathan Chaplin and assistant scientists Todd Hustrulid and Brian Hetchler. The sensor is capable of density readings of +_1/2 lb./bu. and +0.2% for the moisture readings, according to the researchers.
AgriChem is now working on packaging the sensor to be sold as a retrofit kit for combines as early as crop year 2001. Cost is expected to be about $3,000 to $4,000 compared with $40,000 to $50,000 for the equipment used in labs. The company also is talking with OEMs about the possibility of factory installing the sensor on new combines.
The University of Minnesota also is working on developing a new yield monitor that can provide readings of grain mass that are more accurate than those possible with existing monitors and that will work in conjunction with AgriChem's sensor.

accompany (one)(redirected from accompany him)
accompany (one)
1. To travel with someone. This phrase can be used in reference to both people and things. While I enjoy spending time alone, I sometimes wish I had someone to accompany me on vacations. Pete's dog was more than happy to accompany him to the park. My cell phone always accompanies me when I leave the house.
2. To play a musical instrument in support of a featured band or performer. While her little sister played the flute, Sarah accompanied her on the clarinet. Will you accompany me on piano when I sing at the talent show?

This is a very disturbing but hardly surprising story. In Libya, one of the many reactionary Islamic militias has kidnapped a bunch of men they say are gay and plan to mutilate and kill them in the name of Allah. Because being gay is way more immoral than mutilation and murder.
Twelve men face mutilation and execution for allegedly being gay after being captured by an extremist Libyan Islamist militia.
The twelve men were, apparently, having a private party in Ain Zara, a suburb of Tripoli, the country's capital, when the militia captured them, late on Thursday night (22 November).
The group boasted by posting the pictures of the men on Facebook, describing them as the 'third sex' (a term used in the Arab Gulf area to denote 'queers') including one of the men who had a henna 'tattoo' on his back.One of the pictures was accompanied by the Quranic call 'there is no power but the power of Allah!'…
The militia Facebook page entitled as the 'special deterrence unit' boasted that the men were captured doing the 'practices of the people of Lot' (ie gay sex) and that they are to be mutilated and executed.
The militia also claim they have now become a legal part of the Libyan Ministry of Interior.
There are hundreds of militias now in Libya, filling the power vacuum left by Qaddafi's fall.

I have my eyes on one of their coats and I'm definitely liking the rest of the collection. Unfortunately, I have school (and it's a very important school day) the 23rd :( But my mom (who's off from work that day) told me she would buy the coat for me... What a great mom I have :D Then I have to come in later during the day and look at the rest of the items :)ReplyDelete
Wow great pictures thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
new post
I like several pieces from this collection, but the idea that everyone is going to be walking around in these dresses is a little less than appealing. I will definitely go check it out, because that black on black zebra trench has "wardrobe staple" written all over it, but I am not getting up at 4 am for it ;-)ReplyDelete
BTW, it was great meeting you on Thursday! That was me with Nesli :-)
Anticipating like crazy....ReplyDelete

Off-Road Storage - Kopycinski's BrainPosted in How To on April 10, 2014
When we jump off pavement and head into the dirt, we often carry a good bit of gear with us, whether we're out playing in the dirt for the day or going on a multi-day backcountry adventure. There's often food, water, camping supplies, tools, spare parts, extra fluids, and any number of other self-sufficiency items we carry that most ordinary motorists don't.
Storing those items and keeping them somewhat organized can be a chore. But, with some careful thought and ingenuity, you can often tuck away plenty of needed items in your rig, keeping them safe and secured. First, ensure heavy items within your cab area are well secured. Should you end up rolling, the last thing you need is a bunch of stuff pounding on you as you turn tires up.
It makes sense to store spares and less-needed items in deeper locations for accessibility. The smart use of appropriate containers can help you organize and keep items in their place until needed. While you may feel you're running out of storage room, consider unused pockets of space under seats and behind interior panels. We've even capitalized on extra cabin space with the removal of bulky plastic interior panels in some vehicles.

Who Lives Here? Boy or Girl?
When it comes to what colors or products are "for" boys and "for" girls, parents are ahead of the curve and defying tradition. In some cases, this is very intentional - "I didn't want a girly room," is something we hear from parents often. And since many parents wait to find out their baby's sex until the birth, they opt for a nursery that they feel will work for either scenario. So, let's have some fun: here are ten rooms, test yourself (and your assumptions) and guess who lives in them: a boy or a girl?
Above: a bold orange accent wall, multicolor carpet tiles, a soft rocking sheep: who lives here?
Bright and airy feeling with light blue walls mixed with yellow and red accents: who lives here?
A mix of dark and lighter woods, a hanging garland, bird wallpaper on the ceiling, orange and green walls: who lives here?
Primary blue walls, white woods and some yellow accents: who lives here?
Bright room with lighter colors (white, yellow and aqua) mixed with a monochromatic black and white print, organic motif rug, white woods: who lives here?
Tan carpet, a focal wall with a blue, green and yellow pattern, white woods: who lives here?
A mustardy yellow backdrop with punches of red and a graphic black and white rug: who lives here?
Pastel blue walls and soft white bedding and accents: who lives here?
A soft sheepskin rug, grey walls, bright orange chair and blue patterned curtains: who lives here?
Taupe and white striped walls, transparent stool, upholstered cream chair: who lives here?
Ready to find out which ones you guessed correctly and which ones you got wrong? What did you take your cues from - the colors, the "feel" of the room, a particular "giveaway" accent? How many did you get right?

Against Pakistan, India should play five bowlers
India-Pakistan clashes always get a lot of attention but considering India's future in this world cup depends on this game, the importance of this match attains new heights. Sourav Ganguly writes.india Updated: Sep 30, 2012 09:34 IST
India-Pakistan clashes always get a lot of attention but considering India's future in this world cup depends on this game, the importance of this match attains new heights.
Both teams have played a game in the Super 8s. Pakistan were down and out till Umar Gul and Umar Akmal played out of their skins to get past a talented South Africa. I wasn't surprised by Gul's effort because I have seen him do that before in T20 and although he is a wiry fast bowler, he can pack a punch with the bat.
Pakistan are a good T20 side and have won more games than any other team. They are also the only team to make the semifinals of all editions of the T20 world cup. This doesn't surprise me. They have a good balance with the bat and ball and their spinners are world-class.
The biggest difference between India and Pakistan is the quality of bowling. Although India possess a better batting line-up, the Pakistan attack is better.
India had a tough game against Australia; they were outplayed and that can happen in T20. It was a game India would want to forget quickly. They have been in good form with wins against Afghanistan and England and quickly need to get their confidence back.
What will help India is that they have never been beaten by Pakistan in a world cup game and in the recent past, their record against the arch-rivals has been terrific.
This is a high-pressure game for India but they've been in this situation before, and come out victorious.
Their win against Pakistan in the 2007 World T20 final in South Africa and in the 2011 World Cup semifinal in Mohali is testimony to that. This should give them confidence but the question is, can they do it again?
Dhoni will have to solve a few puzzles before this game. The question he'll have to ask himself is should he go in with five bowlers, and the answer is yes. Then, we come to the openers. India need a quality player at the top.
With due respect to Irfan Pathan, I feel he would be more useful at No. 7. His technique is good but not good enough to play the new ball and get a big score.
Scoring big runs is more than technique and one needs to have a habit of doing that. So, there is a strong possibility of getting Virender Sehwag at the top of the order or even getting Virat Kohli to open with Gautam Gambhir.
India and spectators around the world must remember it's not about combinations but execution on the field that matters. India have the team to go far and one bad day on the field doesn't make them a bad side.

Believe it or not, air circuit breaker problems are the cause of almost 20% of electrical power system failures, according to a survey conducted by the Hartford Insurance Company. In addition, they cause property damage and/or personal injury, not to mention lost revenues from unscheduled downtime.
Why do low voltage power circuit
breakers fail?
Low voltage power circuit breakers fail because dust, hardened grease, corrosion, and/or frozen parts prevent the proper operation of trip linkage. Some of the most common failures result from leaking dashpots, maladjusted linkage, broken cases exposing live parts, loose internal connections, defective or broken parts, metal fatigue, age, overuse, and/or misapplication. Symptoms include spurious tripping or no tripping at all.
The best way to counter these potential problems is to inspect and test power circuit breakers on a scheduled basis per the following International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) guidelines.
Visual and mechanical inspection
You first should verify that the breaker is deenergized and that all maintenance devices are available for servicing and operating the breaker. Then, the following procedures should be carried out.
* Look for any broken parts and replace as needed. Clean and lubricate all mechanical parts.
* Inspect breaker anchorage, alignment, and grounding; inspect arc chutes; and inspect moving and stationary contacts for condition, wear, and alignment.
* Verify that contact wipe as well as other dimensions critical to the proper operation of the breaker are correct per the manufacturer's recommendations.
* Perform all mechanical operator and contact alignment tests on the breaker and its operating mechanism.
* Verify correct tightness of bolted bus connections by using a calibrated torque-wrench. For proper torque levels, you should refer to the manufacturer's instructions or use the levels noted in Tables 1 through 3 (Tables 2 and 3 are on page 106), depending on the type of fastener used.
* Check cell fit and element alignment.
* Check the racking mechanism for proper operation.
* Lubricate all moving current carrying parts.
The recommended way of testing power circuit breakers is to use a portable high current (1000A to 50,000A rms) test set. The test set should be connected across the circuit breaker one pole at a time, with the following tests conducted.
* Contact voltage drop at rated current. This measurement will help detect loose connections, improper contact pressure, and/or damaged main contacts.
* Short-circuit protection capability. This is done by pulsing higher currents until instantaneous tripping occurs.
* Overload tripping capability. This is done by applying 300% of rated current to the breaker and measuring the overload tripping time.
Insulation resistance (IR) testing should also be done per the following.
* IR testing at 1000VDC across opened and closed contacts, both phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground. Compare microhm or millivolt drop values on any one pole to adjacent poles as well as to poles on similar breakers. If a deviation of more than 50% is noticed, further investigation is needed.
* IR testing at 1000VDC on all control wiring. (Do not do this testing on any wiring connected to solid-state components.) Insulation resistance should not be less than 100 megohms.
* Determine minimum pickup current; long-time delay; short-time pickup and delay; ground-fault pickup and delay; and instantaneous pickup by employing primary current injection.
* Verify calibration of all functions of the breaker trip unit by employing secondary current injection.
* Make necessary adjustments for final breaker trip settings per existing or new coordination study.
* Additional testing includes the following.
* Verify operation of shunt-trip devices by activating any auxiliary protective devices (ground-fault or under-voltage relays, for example). Check operation of electrically-operated breakers in their cubicles.
* Verify operation of auxiliary features (trip and pickup indicators, zone interlocking, electrical close and trip operation, trip-free, and anti-pump function).
* Check charging mechanism.

Route-66 crosses the fabled Pecos River here in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Often mentioned in stories of the old west, the Pecos carries water from the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains to west Texas and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.
In September of every year Santa Rosa is home to the Route-66 Music Festival and Pecos River Motorcycle Rally.
New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_mexico]
