Girls are Strange
The studio was similarly full of delightful odds and ends—a box full of mannequin hands here, a target from a firing range there. We sat amongst her pert and puzzling artworks for her upcoming show, Strange Girls, and after I turned off my recorder, chatted about her afro in high school and the wefts of hair she bought for the show and never used, which she displayed to me with a sense of experiment and awe. Read below to see how we ended up in this weird conversation.
So this show started with the piece, 'Strange Girls'?
It started with that collage and drawing, yes. I have always made—well, you can see that my pieces are somewhat genderless, actually, yet some of them suggest to me male or female just in their attitude, the way they're standing, not aggressively so, it's in a way that you wouldn't be able to say why. And that's part of what I'm interested in, a fluidity throughout the work. It's a fluidity about gender, about materials, you can't really tell what is made of what—and that is part of what I really love to do. Most people look at my work and they think it's wood or stone, no one thinks it's clay.
That was going to be my next question—what is it made out of?
It's carved clay. I work in a way that I think nobody else does—I work with the clay very hard. I've never made pottery—I'm not interested in pottery—I've always worked with clay as a material of sculpture. So, I carve it from the outside in and then the inside out. They're all hollow, they're all very light. It's just a really beautiful, super expressive material, and also, as you can see, it's like a chameleon.
Are the wall pieces made out of clay, as well?
No, they're wood—but there's clay on top of them. That's the thing, you just can't tell what is what.
I love the clock piece.
I was really into clocks for a while. This one is still going, here. Sometimes, I set the alarm for a random time, just to startle myself.
My mom had a wall of clocks like Gepetto's cottage.
That is totally twisted! Do they go off all at the same time?
They'd be staggered—she likes clocks that play songs every hour. She's really into coo-coo clocks, too.
Your mother is a performance artist! You'll have to send her a photo of one of my clock pieces.
So, I work in all these different materials, like I was saying, and it's very narrative, it's very much about storytelling, but it doesn't ever tell you—I hope—how to think. And what I like to do is set up the elements of a short story, and everybody who looks at it brings their own ending. So, you may ask me, 'What's that piece about?' and I can tell you my story, but what's more important to me is what you think—like, what story does this trigger in you?
They're like little characters.
Yeah—they're little people who live in my head.
You collect toys, and your works are kind of toy-like.
Well, when I was young, I actually thought I'd be a toy designer, and that's why I started collecting them. I didn't collect them to be a collector—I was really fascinated by the movements. When I think about this I blanche, but I actually used to take some of them apart to see how they were made. And then I realized, making art as toys is one thing, but commercial toy design is very different from what I'm interested in. But do I think of them as toys? No one has ever asked me that.
Above: 'Strange Girls,' 2009, and 'Gams,' 2017.
Well, they're kind of like dolls.
They're diminutive in size. I have made taller pieces. I've made pieces 6 and 8 feet tall—my rule is never to make anything heavier than I can carry myself.
Because I always want to be self-sufficient. Until I have staff, I never want to not be able to move or manipulate my piece myself without help. But I would be very willing to do something bigger—I mean, if somebody commissioned something. And I think all artists find their own scale. There's a natural feeling of—I don't know quite how to explain it, but it's like, what is the scale that feels right for this idea? So, what you're seeing here, the ones I did for this show, are on the same scale, but when you look around the studio there's a lot of smaller pieces, a lot of different scaled pieces. I think of them as odd small people. Some of them are a little funny, but some of them are a little dark. There aren't so many out here, but I have a lot of pieces that are missing limbs. But they're all cheerful.
What happened to their limbs?
We don't know! Right? Or I should say, 'What do you think happened to their limbs?' But the ones without limbs are the most cheerful—if I had to dig deeper, I would say it has to do with adversity. You may be a blue guy standing there with only one foot, but goddamnit, you're going to smile.
But I love color, mixing materials together, found and fabricated objects—what I'm doing in this show is a slightly archaic form called assemblage, which is like collage but with three-dimensional objects. It doesn't really fall into any niche, especially in the New York art world, people often don't know where to put the work.
Because it's sculptural and drawing at the same time, which is super fun.
Thank you! I did a stop-motion animation in a film, I was approached by an animation director who thought that my figures and my world would be pretty cool animated, and they were—it was some of the hardest work I've ever done. Stop-motion animation is insane. It's so slow. It's insanely slow.
Was it in clay, or?
No, it was drawing, and then we popped some of the figures into 3-D but they were made out of styrofoam, because that's how you do it on a film set, and they're more manipulatable. I'm really interested in these kinds of things—in people's stories and memory.
What about childhood?
I was just going to say that. There's a lot of echoes of things I remember from my own childhood. You know childhood is a very mixed experience. Years ago, I did a show called Back to School, and it was about your memories of school, and I remember working with school classes that came in, and I would ask all the kids, 'What's your most potent memory?' and every kid had a memory of triumph. And then I asked the chaperones, and every adult had a memory of trauma or embarrassment—when I peed in my pants, or when the pigeon pooped on my head, etc. and I became very interested in that, where does it change? Where do you go from being that kid remembering the first time I mastered this and triumphed, to the adult who remembers the bad stuff?
Do you feel like that plays out in this show, as well?
Oh, absolutely.
It's kind of a combination of positive and negative, there's that sense of triumph, but also sort of sadness.
I think the things that people most commonly say is that the work is funny and dark at the same time.
Which is very much what childhood is.
Absolutely! And we all grew up on a very Disney-fied version, and then, I'm not going to say the underbelly is all dark, but it's more complex.
I think even Disney gets kinda dark.
Old Disney, yeah. So, this piece is called The Green Room—I like titles that have multiple possibilities of meaning. So, she is in a green room.
I would never have guessed that as the title.
Really? What would you have guessed?
That's funny that you ask me that because my friend and I played this game at the Noguchi museum where we would guess the titles.
I play the same game! I do it at museums.
I think maybe I would guess 'Teeth' for this one. I don't know!
Well, I was thinking of celebrities or actors, for events, they always have to wait in the green room. And I always wondered why it's called a green room. So that's something in my memory where there's the association of a color with waiting, so I'm digging into that. Also, I like titles that don't hit you over the head too much. I like titles from old advertising. This piece is called 'Four Out of Five Women Agree.' Which also opens the door to so many ways to think about it.
So what about 'Strange Girls,' what about that title?
So, that big drawing came from a show I did years ago about circuses and sideshows, and I decided to make my own circus banners, and I have a couple of them—they're huge, they're paper mounted on canvas and they were all riffs on sideshow freaks. There's one with a girl with no heart. They were all about women, because I always found, when I was doing research, the women in the sideshows were more interesting to me—the bearded lady, right? That's really interesting. We know now that that woman probably just had a hormone problem. So I did these big banners. Then, for the very last one, I wanted to do a compendium of all the possible strange girls, like girls on wheels, girls with knives for arms. But then a lot of them are in bikinis, so it's a push and pull between what girls are supposed to be and what girls actually are. By that I can extrapolate it to boys. Many men who I talk about the show with say, 'Ugh, I'm a strange girl.' It's a little bit about feeling on the outside, less about what gender you are, and more about how you feel inside.
Everyone feels ostracized or weird at some point when you're growing up, I think. And 'Strange Girls' almost reminds me of 'Mean Girls,' or the popular girl group.
There is a Mean Girls drawing in the show—my own version of Mean Girls. I did about six different versions and then one made it into the show.
Is there a love story going on? One of them is called 'First Date,' another 'Marriage.'
Yeah, of course. But I think love is ambivalent, people are ambivalent, relationships are ambivalent, they're a push and a pull—even friendships, it's a dance. Actually, I have a lot of pieces that refer to dance, one piece is called 'First Position,' because I think we all dance in relationships with each other.
Above: 'Partners,' and 'Pas de Deux,' 2011
There's a potential for movement with a lot of the sculptures too.
Well, and I see a dance in the shapes in this one, in 'Wig Shop.'
Especially with hair, there's always the potential for movement.
I got a lot of hair things going on in this show.
Because it's about girls?
It's girls, and to be quite candid, I got really, really sick last year and as part of that I lost a lot of my hair, which has since has come back. And most of my figures for my entire career, as you can see, even though they could be girls, they never have had hair—ever. Horns or spikes maybe, or all sorts of things. But going through my own weird experience—losing your hair is fucking weird. But I'm fully healthy now! So, for the first time, I actually decided to look at hair and make it an element. And of course, there's all these funny directions to go in with hair. The piece on the far left, the braid, is horse hair that I bought on the internet. The middle figure has metal scrubbies.
Yes, that one I recognized the material—which is funny, because I do hair and a lot of people will compare their hair to Brillo pads.
I've definitely had that in my life. So, then the one on the right is an iconic gesture—you can see that I've used for hair before, it's partially because it refers to a hairstyle from the fifties, it's like super-girl hair. So, I made that in three dimensions and that is rubber. So, part of the joke of that piece is that they have hair that could not possibly be hair—the objects I've used for their hair are not human hair.
That's funny because, for me, as a hairdresser, sometimes people come in and they want something that's not real. As a hairdresser, you're constantly dealing with this magical realism in people's minds before they go in and it's like, 'I cannot do that.'
You're an interesting person to talk to about this, because I am obsessed with eavesdropping at hair salons—obsessed. It's mostly women, though I go to a salon that also has male clients. But I'm fascinated with the fantasies that people come in with about their hair and about who they are, let's extrapolate that—how hair in a way is emblematic of your fantasy of yourself.
And your self-identity.
Absolutely. Hair is a form of identity.
Especially for women. I work primarily with men now, but I used to say that you're not dealing with what's on their head, you're dealing with what's in their head.
You just summed up everything about my work in that statement! It's really about what's in people's heads.
Yeah, sometimes it's like, what planet are you on?
It's what planet are you on and who do you think you are—and I don't mean that aggressively. So, I think it's fair to say my work is pretty psychological, and yet at the same time, it's funny—I think funny is legit. Often times, I think people are only comfortable pegging me one way or the other, that it's either dark or it's funny, but it's both. It's kind of like when people laugh when they're nervous. It's why people make that kind of humor—humor that is painful.

The lone U.S. cow with mad cow disease was not a "downer," as federal authorities assert, according to a slaughterhouse worker who says he killed the stricken animal. The claim comes as an international panel told federal officials Wednesday that more U.S. cases of mad cow disease are likely.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

David Louthan, a former employee at Vern's Moses Lake Meat Co. in Moses Lake, Wash., described his experiences with downer cows to Washington state legislators Tuesday.
In recent newspaper interviews, Louthan described a profoundly different scenario about the death of the ailing cow than that given by the government.
According to Louthan, the Holstein diagnosed with mad cow disease was frenzied and acting wild, which prompted him to shoot a bolt into its head. Prior to that, Louthan said, "she was a walker."
Louthan said the cow could walk on its own and wouldn't have been tested had he not killed it outside the slaughterhouse. Under plant policy, cows killed outside of the facility are automatically tested. The testing, Louthan said, was merely "a fluke."
He said he shot the animal because he feared it would trample downed cows that were in the same trailer.
The infected cow was slaughtered Dec. 9 in Moses Lake, about 70 miles northeast of Mabton, Wash., where it had lived on a dairy farm. Louthan claims he was laid off from the company two weeks after killing the cow, after he told television crews that the cow had already been eaten.
Plant manager Tom Ellestad also confirmed in newspaper interviews that the cow in question could walk when it arrived at Vern's. Ellestad did not immediately respond to inquiries from MSNBC.
A third employee of the slaughter house told The Oregonian newspaper that the cow was walking when it arrived.
The Government Accountability Project, which assists whistleblowers, said it investigated and verified Louthan's story. "We talked to him, we checked his story out," said Jack Pannell, the project's communications director, "and were able to say with pretty solid evidence that that cow was a walker."
This portrayal clashes sharply with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's description of the ailing cow. One day after the Dec. 23 announcement that the cow had tested positive for mad cow disease, USDA officials said the animal was a so-called "downer" — an animal too sick or weak to walk by itself.
The USDA has referred to the records of the veterinarian that examined the cow Dec. 9, and says the inspection showed the cow to be a downer. USDA spokesman Steven Cohen said the cow had been injured during calving and was lying down when an inspector checked it at the slaughterhouse.
"In the opinion of the veterinarian that examined the animal, that was a nonambulatory animal," Cohen said. The testing for mad cow disease was prompted by that conclusion.
Testing for mad cow disease in the United States has largely been limited to downer cows.
Cohen was unsure whether Louthan indeed killed the cow in question, and it was not clear whether the inspection occurred after Louthan has said he shot the cow and scooped out a sample of its brain. USDA officials were not available for additional comment Wednesday evening.
In his testimony Tuesday, Louthan said Vern's specialized in processing downed cows, and decried what he described as gut-wrenching treatment of the nonambulatory cattle, including ripping off their legs and leaving them to lie or cutting off their ears "so the dairy could save a plastic ear tag."
"I've seen and killed thousands of downers," said Louthan, who has said he enjoyed his slaughtering job before being fired. "I'm not the most sensitive guy in the world, but that makes me sick."
More cases expected
Although the cow was traced to a Canadian herd, more than 35 countries including Japan, Mexico and Korea have banned imports of American beef. Those bans, and the U.S. response to the mad cow finding, were the subject of review by a panel of experts, which reported their findings Wednesday to the USDA.
The panel noted there was a "high probability" that other infected cattle have been imported from Canada and possibly Europe. Their report gave no estimate of how many animals, and said contaminated material "has likely" been rendered into cattle feed.
Mad cow disease can be spread through livestock feed contaminated with high risk parts from infected animals, such as the brain, spinal cord or nervous system tissue. Hence, the panel suggested, federal officials should ban this specified risk material (SRM) in livestock feed and pet food to prevent the spread of mad cow disease.
"All SRM must be excluded from all animal feed, including pet food," the panel's chairman, Urlich Kihm, told a special meeting of USDA officials.
The panel also said the government should consider banning from human food the brain and spinal cords from all cattle over 12 months of age. Currently, such material is banned only from cattle over 30 months of age.
Also, All animal protein -- such as meat and bone meal from rendered animals -- should be banned from cattle feed, the panel said. Such a ban "is justified partly due to the issues of cross-contamination," it said.
Another necessary step is for the United States to test all "at risk" cattle over 30 months of age, the experts said. Those would include animals that die on the farm, which may require offering financial incentives to farmers.
The panel was appointed by Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman after the United States' first case of the brain-wasting disease was reported in a Holstein dairy cow in Washington state on Dec. 23. Discovery of the disease halted some $3.8 billion in annual American beef exports.
The infected U.S. cow found by the USDA last month was imported from Alberta, Canada, in 2001. Canada reported its own first domestic case of mad cow disease last May.
'A case a month'
Kihm said the United States "could have a case a month" of mad cow disease. He said he based that estimate on the experience of nations such as Denmark and Italy, and new studies showing that as little as 10 milligrams of infected brain tissue could infect a cow. Mad cow disease, the popular term for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, eats holes in the brains of cattle and is incurable.
However, Kihm said the United States would not see the kind of outbreak that hit Britain in the 1980s. Some 140 people, most in Britain, have died of the human form of the illness, caused by eating contaminated beef products.
Another member of the panel, William Hueston, director of the Center for Animal Health and Food Safety at the University of Minnesota, told reporters that he "wouldn't be surprised if they found two or three more cases in the United States."
Government officials downplayed Kihm's remarks.
"Even if there are more cases, we have already taken the measures that are needed to protect public health," said Ron DeHaven, the USDA's chief veterinarian, who is leading the investigation into the infected Washington state cow.
Another USDA official said scientific evidence suggested a "very, very low prevalence" of the disease in the United States, which slaughtered nearly 36 million cattle last year.
Stephen Sundlof, director of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine, said the panel's report "paints a very different picture" than a risk analysis prepared in 2001 by Harvard University researchers. That report concluded existing U.S. safeguards were adequate to deal with the disease.
Sundlof said the FDA had made no decisions on whether to follow the new recommendations.
Since the discovery last December, agriculture officials have killed more than 700 cows in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. And the USDA plans to boost mad cow tests to about 40,000 cattle this year, double the number tested last year.
"We would urge the government to come out with restrictions on specified risk materials that reflect the findings of this review panel," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director for the consumer group Center for Science in the Public Interest.
MSNBC's Jon Bonné, The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga
29001 Malaga
The CAC Málaga is a cultural initiative of The City Council of Malaga. Its aim is the promotion and dissemination of 20th- and 21st-century visual art.
The project is an innovative one within Spain as it combines models of private management with the aims and ideals of public administration.
The CAC Málaga was officially opened on 17 February 2003 by Their Royal Highnesses the Infanta Cristina and her husband, Iñaki Urdangarín, Dukes of Palma.
A pioneering new project was thus launched, based on the model of the German "Kunsthalle" and characterised by its dynamic nature and its emphasis on the dissemination of contemporary art and reflection on the issues involved in this field.
The opening of the CAC Málaga has opened up new cultural possibilities in the south of Spain and the centre was specifically created with the intention of becoming an international reference point.
The website will be permanently closed shortly, so please retrieve any content you wish to save.

Unfortunately, this year was the first time its founder Ed Maloney wasn't present at the announcers stand as he passed away just after last years show and was celebrated in a very nice way, during opening of the flying display.
The third one is the Seversky 2PA, also called the AT-12 Guardsman it is the only flying example in the world!
Before the flying part of the show started at 10.40am, all visitors were allowed to freely wonder around the static display of the aircraft parked on the ramp. When photographing aircraft like this, it is always a challenge to exclude barriers and other visual pollution.
Although I didn't bring a full size tripod, I did use a Platypod for those low angle shots.
Another one-of-a-kind was this P-26 Peashooter from the early nineteen thirties. Focussing on details such as the chrome pitot tube here, always makes for more appealing photographs.
Most flying displays, have multiple aircraft featured; always along a certain theme; Naval Aviation, Vietnam area, etc... At any given time there is always at least one aircraft passing by.
The rain that threatened the area most of the day on Sunday, started to eventually come down for the last flight display. The show ended with a heritage flight; a formation of old and new with this time the brand-new F-35 from the USAF in formation with the P-38 Lightning and F-86 Sabre. What a sight!
My present airshow kit consists of the following:
- Fujifilm X-T2 with Power booster grip (X-T1 as a backup)
- XF16mm f1.4 for low light and wide angle photography
- XF-18-135 lens for static and wider shots
- XF-100-400 lens for airborne shots
- 1.4X TC (Teleconverter)
- Platypod for low angle shots
- plenty of batteries; I normally take 6 for a full 12 hour shoot
Just before the show, I had updated my X-T2 to the new 2.0 firmware and was keen to see how it would perform. For my l airborne shots, I had the 1.4X TC on the body with the XF100-400 most of the time. When photographing large formations, the 140mm (100x1.4) focal length might not be wide enough, so make sure to plan ahead of time.
My settings for the action stuff with the long glass, were as follows:
- Performance Boost mode ON
- Use 325 AF points
- Manual ISO
- Manual Exposure (choosing aperture and shutter speed manually)
- AF Mode ZONE, use mid or largest zone
- Continuous autofocus mode (C)
- Continuous High (CH) at 8fps (with Power Booster grip)
- AF-C Custom setting > SET 6 CUSTOM >
- Tracking sensitivity 2
- Speed tracking sensitivity 0
- Zone Area switching AUTO

Posterama family (Monotype Imaging library) contains 63 fonts.
The Posterama™ typeface family contains 63 fonts and is a true journey through space and time. Designed by Jim Ford, each Posterama family contains 7 weights from Thin to Ultra Black, in 9 distinct families. What makes Posterama so unique and versatile are the eight alternative display families. By making use of a collection of alternative glyphs, Posterama sets an evocative flavor to visualize an entire century of futuristic reference points from art, architecture, poster design and science fiction into one family.
Posterama Text is the base family. It has the most robust character set including upper and lowercase glyphs and pan-European language support (including Greek and Cyrillic). Note: all the other Posterama variants described below do not have lowercase letters or Greek and Cyrillic support.
Posterama 1901 recalls the decoratively geometric style of Art Nouveau from the turn of the 20th century. Letterforms such as the slender, snaking 'S', the high-waisted 'E' and the underlined 'O' revive the spirit of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the designers of the Viennese Secession.
Posterama 1913 pays homage to the Armory Show, or 1913 Exhibition of Modern Art, which brought the revolutionary work of European artists such as Picasso, Duchamp and Kandinsky to the US for the first time to the shock and astonishment of press and public. Near-abstract, angular characters such as the 'A', 'E' and 'N' hint at cubism's jagged and clashing planes.
Posterama 1919 uses a small, but important, variation to set a tone when the Bauhaus was founded, and the surge in radical European typography that followed. The straight-sided, roundheaded 'A' adds a flavor of 1919 – this style of 'A' can still be seen in the Braun logo, designed in 1934.
Posterama 1927 captures the year of Metropolis, The Jazz Singer and Paul Renner's pioneering, geometric Futura typeface from 1927, which had a profound influence on design in the US and Europe.
Posterama 1933 – With its low-waisted, sinuous designs, the Posterama 1933 typeface family echoes lettering of the Art Deco period, which in turn had its roots in Art Nouveau, the key influence on Posterama 1901. The two fonts make a great team and can be used interchangeably.
Posterama 1945 features a few Cyrillic characters to conjure up an era when Russian art and political posters made their mark in cold war propaganda, espionage and also giant aliens and monsters.
Posterama 1984 takes its typographic influences from George Orwell's classic novel, publicity for the dystopian action and sci-fi movies (Blade Runner, Videodrome and Terminator) and games like Space Invaders and Pac-Man that made an impact at that time.
Posterama 2001 was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's science fiction masterpiece, which made extensive use of the Futura typeface. Posterama 2001 finds its cosmic orbit with its nosecone-style 'A' from NASA's much-missed 'worm' logotype. There's an echo, too, in Bauhaus designs from as early as 1920, whose minimalist, geometric lettering also featured a crossbar-less 'A'.

Many sites only present eight and five card stud, but the best poker websites likewise have different modifications including razz. A lot of small poker areas do not have that much traffic on the tables as properly, which on average means extended waiting instances to being playing in a cash sport or tournament. I've seen a lot of poker sites that cannot present even 1 dining table of stud poker on a consistent basis.
If you're looking to play stud poker then you actually only have two choices. You can find different poker rooms that offer that game, but not one of them are price joining in my opinion. For the significant participants, you'll want to join PokerStars or Complete Tilt Poker. Equally poker sites provide the best activity around and they also equally present plenty of variations.
New participants are qualified to receive a powerful sign-up advantage once they produce their 1st deposit, therefore be sure you don't forget to utilize the appropriate bonus signal when coming up with your deposit. Still another reasons why Whole Tilt and PokerStars are the most effective stud poker internet sites is because they both present enormous multi-table stud tournaments.
Though some Internet poker areas offer smooth advantage costs, some give you a proportion of these preliminary remains as bonus. Some online poker rooms actually don't have any deposit bonuses to entice new players. Besides these sign-up cash bonuses for new member people, some internet sites actually declare bonus items for their existing members.
Much once we speak of those poker benefit presents, there seems to become a clear importance of engaging in some serious studying in order to confirm the authenticity of the large statements being produced by the countless on line poker rooms and you will need to take careful steps before you decide to sign-up with an on the web poker room. Ergo, you will need to ask into the true value of an offer (even when it is a number deposit advantage offer), browse the income out restrictions, look into the security measures and customer care services offered by the poker web site when you sign-in by having an online poker room. Comparing different online poker areas and their advantage presents will offer you with the hint to picking the best poker room befitting your tastes and ACR Bonus Code .
If you may not get up to the task of choosing the very best poker benefit package (and ergo the most effective poker site) for yourself, you can generally find support from the poker evaluation websites, gambling directories and/or the poker suggestion websites. These sites work-out special deals with the poker rooms on the Web and assure you good bonuses and benefits.

Oak Cliff National Register Historic Districts
- Details
- Published: 11 June 2014 11 June 2014
Oak Cliff National Register Historic Districts starting clockwise at the far upper left hand corner are Kessler Park, Miller-Stemmons, Lake Cliff, Tenth Street, Lancaster Commercial, Bishop Arts, Winnetka Heights, Rosemont Addition and Kings Hwy.
There are two historic classifications that an area can be awarded: the National Register is a Federal program administrered by the Department of Interior and managed by the state primarily for the purpose of Federal Tax Credits. The Second is the local City of Dallas Historic Landmark program. This also comes with tax incentives but also has the strictest rules regarding demolition. Restriction of the demolition of historic properties only comes with local historick landmark designation... period.
Of the above districts, only Winnetka, Lake Cliff and Tenth St. carry this stricter interpretation. Kings Hwy, Bishop Arts. and Kessler are Conservation Districts which encourage saving structures but do not out right forbid demolition.

Santana spent the first months of her life as a service dog in training, but she soon let us know that service dog work was too stressful for her and she would be much happier as a family pet. She was released from our program and adopted. Now she's living the good life in her forever home.
Similarly to the way people show preferences for certain careers, certain dogs are better suited to certain types of work. For example, a dog that tends to perk up its ears at sounds may be better suited to hearing work, while a dog that seems to pick up on people's moods may be better suited to working with a child with autism. Dogs that really love smells may not be cut out for service dog work, but that same trait may make them perfect for detecting explosives. And other dogs would prefer not to work at all and instead become a family pet.
Every time we release a dog from our program, we begin the search for the dog's new forever home. Sometimes the puppy raiser chooses to adopt the dog, but other times, we need to find a new home.
Would you like to adopt one of our released dogs? At any given time, we may have a few dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Since the dogs may be released at any time throughout their training, we may have dogs ranging 9-week-old puppies to 18-month-old dogs. Most of our dogs are labs.
If you would like to welcome one of these dogs into your home as a new member of your family, please apply online.

What our customers have to say:
"When we met Mike, we had an attrition problem... we peaked at 42%. After our time with Mike, we have our attrition down to 13.5% as a 12 month rolling average... The feedback we get from our customers has been absolutely phenomenal."
Jim Schorie - Schorie Automotive
"What Mike and his company provide is not just a phone call, it is customer retention. I like keeping my current customer base happy, and even if they aren't happy, we're giving them an opportunity to give feedback to a representative versus a negative post online."
Chris Cloutier - Golden Rule Auto Care
"We love AutoShopFollowUp.com! It's the most efficient way to stay in constant communication with our customers, and get real time feedback. We get a real look at what is going on in our shop, and at the same time were getting new reviews."
George Siegele - SSC Auto Repair
Phone Call / Thank you card
Not a survey, just a check in! We call your customers and ask opened ended questions to get the talking about what is important to them! We use this time to develop relationship, trust, and a personal connection.
Detailed reporting is sent to you after every call session with your customers. This is the way you get to see how your shop looks through your customers eyes. Unbiased feedback from a third party is powerful. Good actionable data you can use today.
Online Reviews
Once we have had the chance to speak with and connect with your customer, we take the extra step to ask them to go online, and share their experience there. Instead of sending a blanket email request, we hand pick your happiest customers and have them leave reviews directly to Google and Yelp!
In 2013, after spending a number of years in the auto glass industry, CEO and founder Mike Carrillo met a local independent auto shop owner in Mesa, AZ. At the time, the shop owner had a real retention problem. He was able to attract new customers, but was having a hard time holding on to them. Together they created a follow-up system for his customers to build a more personal connection, as well as get an eye on how customers viewed his shop. Through follow-up phone calls and hand written thank you notes, AutoShopFollowUp.com was able to turn things around. Peaking with a customer attrition rate around 42%, and a Google reviews rating at 3.2 stars, a short 18 months later his customer attrition rate dropped all the way down to 12%! His Google star rating shot up to 4.9 stars. It was about this time that Mike decided to bring this service to market, in order to help shop owners do more with the customers they already have.

If you've been injured in a work-related accident, you probably have many questions. Am I entitled to workers' compensation benefits? Can I get reimbursed for my medical costs? If I can't work, will I be reimbursed for my lost wages? How do I go about filing a workers' comp claim? How much time do I have to make a claim?
At Jainchill & Beckert, LLC, we have answers. Over the years, our attorneys have helped many people just like you get the benefits they need to pay their bills and treat their injuries.
Guiding You Through The Workers' Comp System
Our attorneys are highly experienced in workers' compensation. We understand the system, and we know how to get you the benefits you are entitled to in the most efficient manner possible.
We will walk you through the entire process from start to finish. Our attorneys assist with everything from the initial application process to appealing denied claims.
Worker's Compensation Covers More Than Workplace Accidents
Many people think of workers' compensation as something that is available only after an accident. That is not true. Workers' compensation is also available for illnesses, diseases and injuries caused by occupational exposure or repetitive motion:
- Occupational exposure: After being exposed to harmful chemicals — such as asbestos or lead — every day at work, many people find themselves with cancer, lung issues and other illnesses.
- Repetitive motion: Performing the same motions day in and day out can cause wear and tear on specific muscles and joints. Over time, severe injuries can form.
If you've experienced an injury or illness due to exposure or repetitive motion at work, you may be entitled to benefits. However, proving these injuries can be more challenging. Our lawyers will work with your treating physician to gather evidence of your injury or disease, establish the cause and obtain the workers' comp benefits you are entitled to.
Start Your Workers' Comp Claim Today. Call 860-351-3552 For Help.
Conveniently located near I84 in Plainville, our firm helps injured workers throughout Connecticut get the benefits they are entitled to. If you've been injured at work, contact our office today.

Industry firsts and seconds
A neck-and-neck race to the finish, where winner takes all!
What's all this about? The Grand National. The 100 metre dash at the Olympics. The Oxford and Cambridge boat race?
Not at all – just the usual scrap between two of the GDSs to get their announcement about a new product out first.
The latest battle began yesterday morning at 10.05, when the Texas-based Sabre Travel Network revealed it has developed a tool for agents to track hotel commissions.
Reasonably interesting development – very worthy tool, etc.
But, hey presto, just 12 minutes later bitter rival Amadeus fires off an email with news of a tool for agents to track hotel commissions – developed by the same company as the one behind Sabre's effort, Worldwide Payment Systems.
To add to the confusion, Amadeus says: "After an extensive search, Amadeus worked with Worldwide Payment Systems to develop the industry's first, effective commission tracking solution."
An industry first? The Sabre tool is not "effective"? We should be told…

I recently just got back into playing OSRS after a few years off and after receiving the ban hammer after a week on a pure I made I decided to look into the ban rates and what I could do to avoid future bans. Then after a google search I found this. (can't post links you will have to seperate the URL).
To sum it up a member on the OSBot forums has trawled through the OSRS code (sorry, dont know much about programming but trying to learn) and found some code that tracks mouse movements and sends it to the server, presumably for analysis. He found that the mouse methods on OSBot set off the flag and on at least one other bot too. The whole thread is an interesting read and kinda funny and even SRL is even mentioned once or twice.
I know that you guys know what you are doing so the SRL mouse is probably more advanced than the OSBot mouse but I thought I would post this just to make sure it has been brought to your attention. If it hasn't been done already I suspect someone needs to check the SRL Mouse doesn't set off this flag as I think we can agree it is almost certainly used for bot detection, but to what extent is unknown.
Also if anyone could help clear this up for me it would be appreciated. My understanding so far is that when using SMART they can track your mouse but strangely when not using SMART, it will appear to them as if your mouse is not moving as you are using a kind of virtual mouse (but they can still record when you click on the game). Is this correct because it's kinda worrying that they can tell your mouse shouldn't be moving when it is?
Please read the link and discuss and hopefuly it will help increase the understanding of the detection system and how to avoid bans (no arguments like in the link please).

Best Ways to Save on Vacation
In times of widespread financial hardship, many individuals and families find themselves forced to sacrifice their leisure time, especially travel. However, following these tips could make your vacation much more frugal and relaxing!
1. Book Early
This might seem like a no-brainer, but recognizing that the vacation industry, like any other, responds to supply and demand, is the first step in saving money on your holiday. The optimum time to book according to an expert travel agent, is eleven months before your intended departure date.
This is when the timetables and prices for flights are first released, and airlines commonly offer the cheapest seats at this time, steadily increasing the prices over time.
2. Book Late
At the other end of the scale, there is an advantage to booking your holiday at the very last minute. A few days before you are due to depart, plane tickets and hotel suites that have not been booked will often fall in price, enabling you to snap up a bargain.
This may require you to be more flexible with departure dates, or require you to take a longer route, so read the itinerary of your journey carefully before you make a payment – cancellation policies for last-minute holidays are very strict.
3. Stay Home
When we think of holidays, we usually think of distant beaches and faraway locations; but there are great holidays to be found closer to home. Stay with relatives if they have space available. Consider doing a house exchange with another family, for a change of surroundings that will not break the bank.
If you have young children, they will be just as satisfied with a beach in your home country as with the sandy shores of the Caribbean. Make the most of the attractions, facilities and landscape in your local area.
4. Travel Times
You will find that prices for travel fall if the time of travel is antisocial. Ferry operators have recognized that few people wish to travel at night, so evening journeys are cheaper. Red-eye flights are also less expensive than convenient day flights.
Avoid flights on Fridays and Saturdays – unless it is summer or Easter, when weekend flights become the cheaper option. Many airline websites offer tools that will show when the cheapest times to fly are.
5. Surf Around
The web is an excellent tool for finding an inexpensive holiday. You can use price comparison websites to find the cheapest flights to your chosen destination and the most affordable accommodation for your stay. Many websites offer deals on package holidays that are only available if booked over the internet – be on the lookout for these.
Or, you can use the internet to locate information on enticing holiday packages and then phone travel agents directly to haggle for a real bargain.
6. Check Exchange Rates
The value of currencies can fluctuate greatly over a short period of time, which can seriously affect how far your dollar goes when you exchange it for the currency of your destination.
The best exchange deals are usually available only if you order your currency over the web and collect in store. Consider visiting countries with favourable exchange rates, so that your money will go further.
7. Visit Cheaper Destinations
Most holiday makers focus on the price of flights and accommodation, and do not consider how much things such as drinks, dining out, entertainment, transportation, sightseeing and personal care. These will drain a budget if not planned out. For example, Greece has long been considered a highly affordable holiday destination, but with the recent and rapid inflation it has become one of Europe's more expensive regions.

This is a recent interview by Gulf News of (here very defensive sounding) Colombia Professor Muhsin Al Musawi on the Nights.
What is most interesting to me is Al Musawi's critique of what he sees as Western interference into the legacy of the culture of the Nights.
Excerpts below, entire interview (unfortunately with pop up ads and the like) here: http://gulfnews.com/culture/books/the-enduring-lure-of-the-arabian-nights-1.1876775
"The Arabian Nights" was largely ignored simply because it was not an elite piece of literature, and it wasn't until the French (1704-12) and English (1706) translations were published that it was taken seriously. To tell the Arab intelligentsia how it was received by eminent poets, writers and essayists was not an ordinary matter, especially as this intelligentsia suffers from a Western dependency complex.
You have a new project, almost ready: "The Arabian Nights: A Source Record". The preliminary title suggests a lot but also seems to hide more.
I can quote from the introduction as it has not appeared yet, and I hope readers will use it with due acknowledgement to us as well as to the newspaper. This quote introduces the reader to early scholarly discussion of origins:
Aside from Edward William Lane's (1801-76) enduring contribution to the sociological interest in the tales in its colonial dimension, his endeavour to establish a "sound" text, albeit with scriptural tone and style, still elicits scholarly interest. No less pertinent is the British periodical criticism of the years 1838-41, which, while highly informed by the British imperial quest, was mainly provoked by the latter's significant achievement. It is only a sign of this encompassing imperial spirit that this criticism took into account German and French contributions to assimilate or debate within a broad colonial spectrum. While the evangelical spirit was bent on replacing Eastern cultures with that of the empire, the Orientalist was keen on preserving local traditions to ensure a better and solid acculturation beyond the vagaries of change.
Lane was no minor figure in this encounter, as his lexicon, studies of the "manners" of the Egyptians and translation of "The Thousand and One Nights" elicited further communications and interests. A case in point is the Athenaeum effort to elucidate the involved history of the "Nights". Although taking into account contemporaneous views of de Sacy, von Hammer, Schlegel and Lane, the Athenaeum critic of the 1830s was fully aware of the pitfalls of basing final judgments regarding the date of composition on scattered references to historical events. No great value must be set on these allusions in a book that passed into many redactions and underwent a number of omissions, changes and interpolations. A "careful and critical examination of the tales," he postulated, "would convince the reader that they were chiefly composed by illiterate persons, unacquainted with the history of their country; and it is unfair, therefore, to assume the accuracy of some particular date referred to, considering the numberless anachronisms contained in the work, and urge it as an argument either in favour or against opinions respecting the authorship, or age when written."
Disapproving of Lane's conclusion that the social and cultural setting points to an Egyptian origin, the reviewer observed that Islam regulates and models manners and customs in the whole Muslim East, establishing social conformity to which the "Nights" plainly attests. As for the very distinctive Egyptian traits, the reviewer urged that they be seen in the light of the tendency of copyists and compilers to impose their regional predilections on the text.
But what about the discussion of manuscripts, before Brill's print of Galland's Arabic manuscript?
Writing about manuscripts is a challenge, for no matter how authoritative and painstaking the search is, there are two sides to the question. One relates to availability of manuscripts, and the second to orality, transmission and storytelling. While Arabic scholarship was not enthusiastically drawn to popular culture, European scholarship was more interested in reading the tales as both manifestations of culture and life, as they deemed, and as indices of the spirit and language varieties of the region. Hence the interest in origin.
The Athenaeum reviewer was not alone; but his recapitulations were in response to an ongoing discussion that received further impetus after the publication of Lane's annotated edition. Lane was keen on establishing that the work was by one single author who composed it between 1475 and 1525 (preface to "The Arabian Nights Entertainments", London, 1839-41). Silvestre de Sacy had already dwelt on this issue (as documented by Chauvin and Littmann) in "Journal des savants", 1817, 678; "Recherches sur l'Origine du Recueil des Contes Intitules les Mille et Une Nuits", Paris, 1829; and in the "Memoires de l'Academie des Inscriptions & Belles-Lettres", x, 1833, 30.
In these interventions de Sacy debated both single authorship and connectedness with Persian and Indian collections, dismissing the early reference by Al Masudi (336/947, re-edited in 346/957) as spurious. Just opposite to these views were Joseph von Hammer's ("Wiener Jahrbücher", 1819, 236; JA, 1e serie, x; 3e serie, viii; preface to his "Die noch Nicht übersetzten Erzaehlungen") where he built his argument on Al Masudi, stressing therefore the genuineness of this as evidence of a collection of non-Arab origin.
