|Re: [aspectj-dev] AJ 5 @AJ and aspectOf
Since Wes seems to be suprised by my first post let me explain some - APT = Annotation Processor Tool = see Java 5 doc, I am expect aspectj-dev are familiar with most of the concepts around Java 5 (be it semantics or tools around, like APT) - @AJ aspect = I assume ones has read the AspectJ 5 developper notebook. The @AJ aspect is the code name for the annotation style syntax - I usually use "*" (star) to emphasys on something like *that*, since I don't write html emails and uses Bold style. - we may do code gen if we need to do it. That s why I am discussing that on the aspectj-dev. Raise your hand / ask question if you think that s odd. APT can actually be used for much more f.e. pointcut syntax checking for @AJ aspect f.e. It s is good to think about what we can do with it, especially as regards @AJ aspects. - the user benefit is as I describe: be able to use the aspectOf() API with its @AJ aspect without requiring him to compile them with ajc and further use them as a binary form (in which there is the aspectOf() method) Wes, I had no previous private discussion on that, and precisely wants to start the discussion. Let me know if there is a better place for this kind of discussion. Alex On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 08:07:48 -0800, Wes Isberg <wes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > E.g., what is "APT"? "@AJ aspect"?

Waldorf School
The faculty at the Waldorf School of Garden City are models for the kind of people we hope to graduate: bright, relentlessly curious, and cross-culturally fluent. They are committed teachers and scholars - people who want to help you develop personally and intellectually.
We cannot say enough about how profoundly your teachers will affect your life. Because of our size and small classes, you will get to know your teachers as human beings, and in turn, they will get to know you.
A Long Island native, Stephen Jackowicz comes to the Waldorf School of Garden City with a highly diverse background. He serves as the new ELL (English Language Learners) Instructor. Stephen began his studies at Harvard University majoring in East Asian Studies. He then spent five years in Korea studying traditional East Asian Medicine. Stephen went on to a master's degree in acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture. His medical studies sparked an interest in history, which lead him to pursue a Ph.D. at Boston University focused on traditional East Asian medical history. During his doctoral research phase, he resided in China and did field research in the remnants of the extant classical approaches to medicine. Stephen brings his international expertise to support the foreign students at Waldorf as well as to teaching the Modern China Main Lesson course to the freshman and the new Mandarin Chinese elective in the high school.

March 16, 2013
Charlottesville Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that happened early Saturday morning just steps from the Downtown Mall, ultimately leaving two men wounded.
Police responded to the 100-block of Second Street Northwest near the Elks Lodge around 1 a.m. Saturday for a report of shots fired. Police say a nearby witness saw one man shoot another at close range and then proceed to stand over the wounded man.
When officers arrived on scene, police say one officer discharged his weapon, apparently striking the alleged shooter. Officers were not injured in the incident.
Police say the investigation is continuing.
Both wounded men were taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center for their injuries. There is no update on their conditions.

For the Birds! – and Art Lovers
David Blatherwick's videos fill a church with bird calls.
This is a detail from David Blatherwick's installation called "I Wish I Knew", in St. Anne's Anglican Church in Toronto. Blatherwick videotaped five members of the church's fine choir as they whistled transcriptions of real bird song, then mounted the results in various corners of the sacred space. (Click here to see video of the piece.) When you first enter the building, you think a small gaggle of songbirds has somehow got trapped in the church. And when you spot the little video monitors showing the singers, that impression doesn't much change: We're so used to humans who make human sounds that birdsong never quite seems to come from their lips, even when we see it coming forth. For centuries, European composers played with the idea of incorporating bird song into their music. (The clavecinistes of the French baroque were especially keen on the idea.) Blatherwick does without the music, and finds enough pleasure just in the birds. Saint Francis would have been proud.
Ad Reinhardt Gets The Last Laugh
His Black Paintings are too lovely not to also be jokes.
The last in a week of 1960s Black Paintings by Ad Reinhardt, inspired by the show now at David Zwirner in New York. As I hope has been clear from the images (if not the texts) of my weeklong celebration, Reinhardt's paintings are, among other things, gorgeous to look at. Arrayed in orderly series around one of Zwirner's deluxe white-walled spaces, they are all you could ask for in elegance and grace. I can't imagine any lofty condo that wouldn't look better with two or three on the walls. And that's one of the pitfalls of these pictures, and of pictures in a similarly "spiritual" vein by the likes of Rothko and Agnes Martin: Their artistic substance can easily sublimate into stylish but vaporous design. Reinhardt's black-on-black paintings often seem to slide into the same register as the lovely black-on-black crepes of a classic Armani suit – but without the extra heft that function always lends to fashion.
That's why I've spent this week stressing the conceptual side of Reinhardt. If we imagine his paintings as both beautiful, visually, and more than a bit absurd, conceptually, I think that can keep them, and us, a bit off-balance, as the Black Paintings and their viewers must have been in the 1960s.
One art historian I know took exception to the way I've been implying that Duchampian art (and therefore what I'm claiming as its Reinhardtian progeny) is made up of immaterial and un-visual, or even anti-visual, gestures. He's pointed out that the specifics of what a readymade is – the shape and size and nature of the object the artist selects – mattered to Duchamp, and ought to matter to us. I completely agree: I've written about how, to understand Duchamp's "Fountain", we need to understand the original meanings of porcelain urinals, which came closer to being deluxe than abject or common. But I still think that what Duchamp made clear is that such readings are destabilized – made richer than the usual propellers-are-beautiful line – when the objects we are reading also seem absurd and almost arbitrary. When we believe that Duchamp might as easily have chosen another piece of plumbing (but didn't) and when we imagine that Reinhardt could have juggled different blacks (but didn't), we are made to look and think longer and deeper. Reinhardt's surfaces are stunning, but they're better for the guffaw underneath.

Ad Reinhardt's Painful Dazzle
Reinhardt's subtlety makes us look until we can't look any more.
Yet another picture from my week-long study of the Black Paintings of Ad Reinhardt, now being celebrated at David Zwirner in New York. This canvas was painted in 1960.
So far this week, I've been stressing the conceptual, even anti-retinal side of Reinhardt's project, but it would be crazy to go too far in that direction. The extreme subtleties in his paintings do demand the closest of looking, to be made out at all: The less there is to see, the more work we must do to see it. But as I sat there staring and staring and staring at Reinhardt's modulated blacknesses, something strange started to happen: I couldn't see them, or much of anything, anymore. The strain such looking put on my entire perceptual system, from eyeball to retina to cortex to mind, brought it close to a point of collapse. Staring at an almost-black square, brightly lit on a white wall, has some of the same blinding effect as staring too long at a black dot on a sheet of white paper: Generalized dazzle replaces the details of vision, to the point where you can't tell what's an illusory spot thrown up by your exhausted eyes and what's a real feature of Reinhardt's painting. This means that a painting that, more than most, invites close contemplation also sets out to foil it – which of course is as much a conceptual gambit as a sensory one.
Reinhardt's game of sensory exhaustion reveals something else: Paintings that seem to be all, and only, about the details of their surfaces – paintings that seem entirely self-contained, within the limits of their frames – are actually hugely interactive with their environments and their viewers. (To use Michael Fried's famous language, they seem "absorptive", like a Frank Stella, but turn out to be "theatrical", like a Donald Judd.) The Black Paintings change radically as the lighting on them changes; they change as we move side to side in front of them, and as we move close and then retreat, and as we grow tired then refresh ourselves. And they seem to demand such changes and displacements, across both space and time, to fully reveal themselves.
Ad Reinhardt, No Saint, Made Relics of Himself
Reinhardt's Black Paintings demand to be seen in their magical flesh.
"Abstract Painting, No. 34", from 1964, is the third of my week's worth of Pics devoted to the Black Paintings of Ad Reinhardt, now on view in his centennial show at David Zwirner in New York. Compared to the others in the series, this almost-blue painting is so garish you might even be able to make it out in digital reproduction.
But here's the thing: Reinhardt's paintings don't really work except in the flesh. This is not, as is usually said, because of their sensory subtlety – that's only part of the story. Although their extreme refinement can make them seem almost immaterial, these paintings need to assert a direct, true, historical connection to their maker that only an encounter with their original matter can guarantee.
I recently argued in the New York Times that, in terms of sensory and semantic content, a forgery or copy can be as useful as an authentic work of art; since Reinhardt's abstractions are so pared-down, copies ought to be especially easy to make and should work as fine surrogates for the authentic pictures. There's so little there in a Black Painting, in the first place, that there's not all that much to get wrong in copying one. But I think that just because of their paring-down, the pictures are more than usually about the act of their making instead of any visual effect they produce. They get a lot of their meaning, that is, from being the product of an absurd – or at least unlikely – act or gesture of one man, at one watershed moment in history, who chose to produce hand-made objects that barely register as any human's production. Only the originals have a true, if impalpable, connection to that man and that moment of making. Actually, it's the impalpable nature of that connection that demands an encounter with the original objects; the connection doesn't reside in any sensory features that could be captured in a copy.
Ad Reinhardt Hides His Tracks
The great Black Paintings are handmade, but refuse to show it.
This is a second of Ad Reinhardt's Black Paintings in the current Zwirner show, from the week's worth that I'll be Daily Pic'ing. If you were looking at it in good lighting, you'd be able to tell that it was different from yesterday's choice, but it wouldn't be easy. Among other things, Reinhardt insisted that his pictures show no trace of their maker's hand – traces that had helped differentiate and personalize other abstractions of his era. But he also seemed absolutely keen to make each picture himself, with his own two hands.
If the Black Paintings were about absolutely pure perceptual effects, as critics often imply, Reinhardt might have got better, cleaner, purer results by having them mechanically printed. Handpaintedness is important to these pictures, however, because they want to be in close and complex dialog with all the notably, aggressively handpainted pictures that came before – they want to be seen as part of the same old conversation. The refusal of the mark of the hand, that is, has more rhetorical power when that refusal is made via the hand of a painter; the abnegation of expressive mark-making is more impressive when such marks are an obviously available, desirable, even inevitable option. (A horny monk resisting sex is more impressive than a eunuch doing so; some medieval monks and priests slept with gorgeous naked youngsters, to test their own powers of resistance. In the 1950s and 60s, that was what it felt like for Reinhardt to take up a paint-laden brush, and then produce an untouched surface.)
The fact of the handmaking of these pictures, which is such an important part of them, is hardly perceptible in their presence. Does that mean that their handmadedness is yet another of the conceptual facts and ploys backing up these apparently perceptual artworks, as per yesterday's Daily Pic? Or does it mean precisely the opposite: that the paintings demand you do the work of looking and looking and looking – and only barely finding – the traces they preserve of the hand that made them, and that worked so hard to hide itself. The eyes take in that hiddenness in a way the mind alone never could.
Ad Reinhardt's Black (-on-Black) Humor
In the 1960s, the great abstractionist reveled in making absurdist pictures of (almost) nothing.
If you can barely make out this image, that's as it should be. It's one of the black-on-black Black Paintings made by Ad Reinhardt between 1960 and 1966 and now on view in the important survey of them at David Zwirner in New York, where I spent a solid four hours the other day. In honor of Reinhardt's centennial, I'll spend all week indulging in the absurd gesture of commenting on one Black Painting daily, even though the differences between them are likely to be invisible.
The absurdity of my gesture is, I think, vital to understanding these pictures. They are usually treated with the utmost sobriety, pondered as great works of formalist – even spiritual – exploration. They are read as being about blackness, as both color and mental state, or even as metaphysics. But I think the Black Paintings are also funny, even whacky, or maybe just mean: What's not to laugh about in a picture that's so barely there, it can barely be seen? I think that Reinhardt's Black Paintings are meant, in part, as a poke in the eye of the art world and its pretentious, overprecious art appreciators. The room just before them at Zwirner is full of the zany, often vicious cartoons that Reinhardt published to lampoon that art world, and I think this Mad Magazine spirit needs to cross the threshold into the gallery that holds his abstractions.
In making the Black Paintings, Reinhardt may have been as indebted to Duchamp as to Malevich and Barnett Newman. (Although Malevich was probably more Duchampian than we realize.) What could come closer to the anti-retinal position of Duchamp than paintings so dark they can barely impinge on our retinas? The gesture of putting one black paint on top of another has to be as much about trying out a crazy, impossible artistic idea as it is about seeing what aesthetic dividends that idea pays. At Zwirner, there's a case full of vintage New Yorker-ish cartoons that poked fun at Reinhardt's Black Paintings; I can't imagine that Reinhardt wasn't expecting, and inviting, that response to his work from his cartoonist colleagues.
Kerry James Marshall, the Black Edward Hopper
In 2003, Marshall painted a nautical scene that echoes a picture by America's most recent Old Master.
"Gulf Stream" was painted by Kerry James Marshall in 2003, and is now in his small solo show at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The gallery points out that the painting is clearly related to Winslow Homer's "The Gulf Stream" from 1899, in the Metropolitan Museum collection. The Homer shows a shipwrecked black man whose little boat is surrounded by sharks, and that precedent adds an undercurrent of angst to a Marshall that might otherwise seem perfectly cheery. But another comparison that seems equally apt to me: Down the road at the Corcoran museum, there's "Ground Swell", a 1939 painting by Edward Hopper, which, in colors very much like Marshall's, shows a bunch of white people out for a day's sailing in the most yar of yachts. I think there's a sense that Marshall is trying out what it might look and feel like to insert African Americans into a cheery world and culture that they've never had a place in. (The fisherman's net around the edge of Marshall's picture evokes the ersatz New England of a bad lunch spot in the Hamptons.)
Of course, if you buy Alexander Nemerov's reading of the Hopper, which says that it's a picture about the gathering clouds of war, then Marshall's two sources aren't that far apart.
Cat Video Masterpiece?
Bruce Nauman, our greatest artist, tries a feline focus.
A still from Bruce Nauman's "Pencil Lift/Mr. Rogers", one of the videos in his current solo at Sperone-Westwater gallery in New York. At its best, Nauman's work is brilliantly, unutterably peculiar – and the new pieces qualify. Nothing he does is easily turned into a pat paraphrase, but the new series is all about fingers and the tricks they play: counting and touching and holding pencils aloft by their tips. The idea of the "digit-al" came into my mind, with the digit-y cat feet in the background representing the normal domestic space that Nauman's work seems to take place in. It's as though he's telling us that his work isn't so much about the world of art, as about the weirdness that's there in all the places we know.
Artists are Madmen! (Or maybe not)
The Daily Pic: Mike Kelley equates insanity and creativity, then negates the equation.
This image shows Mike Kelley's "Pay For Your Pleasure", from 1988, as installed in his retrospective at MoMA PS1 in New York. The piece consists of a series of huge portraits of great cultural figures, inscribed with things they said about the links between madness, crime and art. So there's Veronese saying "We painters claim the license that poets and madmen claim" and (William) Blake claiming that "those who constrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be constrained." At first the piece could read as a celebration of these ideas – Kelley himself had a Dionysian side, and took his own life – but there's lots to make us read it the other way around. After all, the portraits themselves are aesthetically stolid (I'd bet Kelley paid some hack to paint them) and some of the speakers don't quite exemplify their own quotes: Veronese for instance was hardly a radical. And then there's the fact that that tiny image we see at the end of the installation is a work by a genuine criminal that Kelley asks to have installed each time the piece is mounted. And it is definitely, absolutely no masterpiece.
The Unknown Masterpiece
The Metropolitan Museum rehangs its Old Masters, and Andrea Schiavone comes into his own.
For the last "Met Monday" at the Daily Pic, here's an all-time favorite of mine, the "Marriage of Cupid and Psyche", painted in about 1550 by the Venetian artist Andrea Schiavone. (Meaning "Andrew the Slav", because he came from one of the Venetian possessions on the Dalmatian coast. The Met also has great holdings of his works on paper.)
These Monday pics have been about celebrating the rehang of the Metropolitan Museum's Old Master holdings, and few pictures have profited from it as much as this one: I loved it even when it was hung high over a door in a tucked-away corner, as it was for many years, but now curators have brought it down to eye level, where it can really sing. It's not just about the wild serpentine forms that Schiavone borrowed from Mannerist painters based further south. Now we can see the wonderful looseness of his brushwork as well. (Click here to zoom in, then take a look at the bottom hem of the topless Psyche's dress.) I'm convinced that Schiavone is an important missing link between Titian and Tintoretto, and that he deserves to get his reputation back as a serious rival to both. (Also, since my son got married on Saturday, I couldn't very well resist this picture today.)
Two problems with my theory: First, I once went on a pilgrimage to every Schiavone in Venice, and most of them were infinitely weaker than his "Cupid and Psyche". (Although I have a feeling that many of those pictures were falsely attributed to him, at a time when he was the grab-bag name that got attached to every lousy mannerist painting in Venice. Could it be that the number of bad pseudo-Schiavones actually gives a sense of how influential he was on lesser artists?) Second problem: This painting was originally meant for a ceiling, so you have to wonder how much of its bravura could ever have been seen. But that's a problem with almost all Renaissance pictures, given the terrible lighting they would once have been viewed in. I think that pictures were meant to be excellent in their execution, and maybe in a patron's first glimpse of them, and then further visibility was much less important. In that, Renaissance pictures may have preserved some of the qualities of Medieval relics, whose simple existence mattered almost as much as any contact they had with worshipers.
A "Slave" Saved or Sunk by Cliché
Steve McQueen's movie can seem sold-out, but maybe that's what its subject demanded.
This still from Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" captures what I noticed most about it: That it had most of the trappings of a standard Hollywood costume drama, in the fundamentals of wardrobe, decor, cinematography, lighting, dialogue, plotting, cutting and music (which was especially manipulative and full of cliche). Only its tremendously important and compelling subject makes "Slave" stand out.
That's a disappointment to me, since I had the huge pleasure of seeing the full survey of McQueen's earlier work as a video and film artist in Basel's Schaulager art center last year. In those pieces, he kept his viewers off-kilter with innovative, complex works that happen to present moving images, and sometimes tell a scrap of story, but which begin where Hollywood leaves off. The first thought that came to mind with "Slave" was that McQueen had simply sold out, or caved to Hollywood's blinkered vision of what film can do. Then my artist wife suggested another possibility: That McQueen had the absolutely overriding goal of telling the harrowing, shameful story of Solomon Northup's enslavement to as many people as he possibly could, given that such stories have stayed almost entirely untold in mass-market movies. Only by embracing Hollywood cliches could he attract the widest possible audience, which is now addicted to them.
But there's one other possibility: That if what McQueen cares about is the content, rather than the form, of his work, then he has to aim for a kind of transparency that only cliches can offer, since they are by definition unmarked and content-free. Artists have tended to think that taking a "straightforward", unadorned documentary approach to an image is the way to avoid style and transmit a subject at its most pure. McQueen may have realized that that, too, yields a kind of artiness that distracts. Only by giving viewers precisely what they know already, in terms of form, can you give them new content that they'll take in for itself.
Venice Biennale Sails into the Sunset
As the festival wraps, Ragnar Kjartansson's boatload of musicians play its closing notes.
The Venice Biennale ends Sunday, and this is my final shoutout to it – an image of the mariner musicians hired by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson to perform for the duration of the event, in a piece called S.S. Hangover. Back and forth they've been sailing, day in and day out, repeating the same elegiac fragment of music for brass as they cross a small pool at the far end of the Biennale grounds. My photo was taken in early June, on opening weekend, but a video uploaded this autumn shows that not much has changed. Kjartansson's piece provided a lovely, wistful coda to any day's visit to the exhibition. Now, however, as the grand festival closes for good, the musicians and their audience will have still more to feel poignant about.
A Performance Like a Punch in the Face
At Performa, Shana Lutker revisits a wild Dada play that featured a nose and some lips.
This is a study for props and costumes in "The Nose, The Cane, The Broken Left Arm", a piece by Shana Lutker that I saw staged last night in New York as part of this year's Performa festival, and that is playing again tonight. Lutker's piece revisits the events of July 6, 1923, when Andre Breton, future leader of the Surrealist movement, came to blows in a Paris theater with some adherents of the rival Dada group, led by Tristan Tzara, who that night was premiering his new play called "The Gas Heart". Lutker's directing and script both need lots (and lots) more work, but the historical material she unearthed is fantastic, as are the costumes for the characters in "The Gas Heart", the play within Lutker's play, whom Tzara named Mouth, Eyebrow, Ear, Neck, Eye and Nose. Apparently last night's outfits were "inspired" by the originals of Sonia Delaunay, but I've got a feeling that Lutker used some wonderful poetic license in giving us a few of these body parts.
Girls Gone Tame?
At the Venice Biennale, Sharon Hayes gets young women to ponder sex.
This image shows a moment from a video by Sharon Hayes that's up at this year's Venice Biennale. (The show closes in five days, and therefore seems to warrant a parting Pic or two from me.) Hayes's video involved putting straight-ahead questions about sexuality to 36 students at an elite all-women's college in New England. (Click here to see some clips, along with comments by Hayes.) This Biennale included a fair dose of art with spiritual aspirations, so Hayes's encounter with the real was a brave and useful counterweight. That may have been what won it a Golden Lion prize.
Better Than Vermeer
Gerard ter Borch made headlines, while his rival in Delft was painting maids with earrings.
Here we are again, on our regular Monday visit to the Metropolitan Museum in New York. This picture was painted in around 1658 by Gerard ter Borch, and is now on display in the Met's newly rehung Old Masters galleries. It is by Vermeer's much more famous and successful contemporary, and lacks much of what we moderns love in Vermeer: His proto-photographic light, his cryptic, event-free subjects, his wide-angle deep space. That "lack" may be precisely why pre-modern Dutchmen so preferred ter Borch. As I've argued before, we may want to put ourselves in their eyes, and redress the balance between the two artists.

Humberto Chavira
El Paso, Texas
Humberto Chavira's father originally purchased the Elco and handed it down to him as a graduation gift back in 1995. Since then, he's added a 350ci small-block with a COMP Thumpr camshaft, an Edelbrock manifold, and a Holley mixer. For the long hauls, a 700-R4 overdrive transmission with a TCI Automotive 3,500-stall converter was installed. Rounding out the package is a set of Boss 338 18-inch rollers on all four corners and his shine of choice: BMW Silver over a Jet Black and Fire Engine Red pinstripe that separates the color combination. Additional body mods include the shaved door handles, side marker lights, mirrors, emblems, and moldings.

When you ask the wealthy "Are you better off than four years ago?" the answer is most certainly "Yes!"
The latest PNC Wealth and Values Survey Investor Outlook shows that the majority of affluent investors have seen their individual net worth increase by more than 20 percent over the past five years.
Only 16 percent are worth less today than they were five years ago. (ONC defines affluent as someone with more than $500,000 in investible assets).
They're twice as optimistic about the U.S. economy than they were a year ago, and they're bullish on their own financial futures. Nearly three quarters of them say they have "a lot control over their financial futures." (Read more: Rich Say They'd Invest More Under Romney)
They're especially bullish on stocks and real-estate. The study also shows that the affluent have trimmed their free-spending ways since the crisis. Fully 88 percent say that it's "more important than ever to live within my means."
For everyday investors looking for the same returns as the affluent, the PNC study gives some possible answers. When asked what they're betting on for the next 12 months, more than half of the investors listed "technology" as their top sector bet.
In second place came "energy/utilities" and third was healthcare. (Read more: The One Percent Gets in the Holiday Spirit)
Granted, it all depends on which stocks you pick in each sector, which the study doesn't provide.
But equally surprising are the sectors that are unpopular with the affluent. Retail came in last place, just below manufacturing, transportation and "socially responsible green investing."
Clearly, the affluent don't like to invest like Warren Buffett.

From a young age, the line "Being plastic is fantastic!," always associated with Barbie, was ingrained in my head. I never thought too critically about it—it was a catchy little rhyme—but as I grew older, I began to see just how warped the message being sold to my Barbie-obsessed friends and me was. To this day, I maintain a love-hate relationship with Barbie: the girl's got style, and I can't help but admire her determination to experiment with every career from veterinarian to pizza maker; however, her body type has been proven multiple times to be beyond realistic, a narrowly idealized figure being sold to young girls as the pinnacle of beauty. It's not just that Barbie and friends lack diversity in their shape: her form is downright impossible to achieve.
You can imagine how excited I was to stumble upon Margaux Lange, a New York-based jewelry designer who seems to share my sentiments. She created The Plastic Body Series: a handmade accessories line which pays homage to pop culture's fascination with Barbie by salvaging old doll parts and transforming them into wearable art. As sweetly nostalgic as they are creepily Lynchian, the accessories themselves are a psychedelic gaggle of doll heads dangling from necklaces and disembodied eyes peaking out of rings. While one typically wouldn't think of "dismembered female body parts" as empowering, it somehow works when the body in question was totally artificial to begin with. By reworking different Barbie parts into pieces, including a necklace that is a mash-up of different plastic chests, the result feels like a wearable statement forcing society to critically examine those plastic body parts constantly deemed beautiful. Plus, Lange's work has given me the ultimate D.I.Y. inspiration for how to transform the Barbies that I was never able to purge and alter them to fit my teenage self. Perhaps next up will be decapitating Furbies for a new accessories line.

Two Central Valley Seniors will have to wait to find out if they have a place to play football next yearValley City, ND (WDAY TV) - Two seniors at Central Valley will have to wait a little bit longer to find out if they have a place to play football next year.
Two seniors at Central Valley will have to wait a little bit longer to find out if they have a place to play football next year. The appeal to let the duo play at Hillsboro next fall was heard by the Activities Association today.
It was tabled, in order to first closer examine the football co-op situation as a whole. Currently, football is the only sport in North Dakota where co-ops are considered every two years and that, in large part, is why this situation has occurred in the first place.
Today's decision by the board to allow the football committee to explore the possibility of creating co-ops on a yearly basis rather than the existing 2 years, means there's still a chance the 2 Central Valley seniors will play for Hillsboro this fall.
Randy Vigen – Central Valley Athletic Director: "As we leave here today I think they'll be happy to know there at least wasn't a "no" decision made and the hopes of them still being able to play in the fall of '12 is still there...The board is there to make tough decisions. Especially with the football plan being every 2 years, the football committee of the board will come up with a plan that I think's gonna go through."
Peter Moe – Chairman Football Committee (Washburn): "A window here that we might be able to get those kids to play. It's something that'll take some discussion with the football committee, then make a recommendation to the board. I think if we can do that before the end of the month, it'll be enough time."
Todd Olson – Board Member (Grand Forks): "When you have stuff like this come up, you think why can't we treat football more similarly to the other sports we offer. Going forward, it's going to be a bigger issue as other schools aren't able to offer football due to their declining enrollments. I think there's a hesitancy on the board to set a precedent. So if it's gonna be good policy for one school, we're gonna try to make it good policy for every other school that may run into this situation."
If they agree to, the board can revisit the Central Valley issue, but with many board positions changing on July 2nd, they want to rule on the issue by the end of the month.

EAA Hall of Fame Inductees
Honored by Their PeersBill Pancake
Vintage Aircraft Association Hall of Fame
Bill Pancake
Video Bio
Bill Pancake started working at Baker Airpark in Burlington, West Virginia, during the 1950s. Pancake became well known in his area for being a thorough mechanic, a longtime restorer, and an expert in Aeronca aircraft.
Besides being a certificated airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic with inspection authorization, Pancake is a woodworker, electronics hobbyist, licensed weather observer, ham radio operator, and certificated flight instructor. His involvement in restoration and electronics has contributed to 11 award-winning airplanes at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, including the Bob Baker family's Grand Champion Classic Aeronca in 2007 and Harold Armstrong's Pitcairn PA-4 Fleetwing 2, which took the Grand Champion Antique in 1991.
Pancake's long list of awards and honors shows his dedication and passion for his work. Over the years he has kept Aeroncas and other fine, classic aircraft flying. For his contributions to aviation, Pancake has received the state of West Virginia's Distinguished Mountaineer Award and was the first West Virginian to receive both the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award and the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.John W. Dyke
Homebuilders Hall of Fame
John W. Dyke
Video Bio
John W. Dyke was born in 1931 and grew up on a farm in southeastern Ohio, where he established a niche for aviation design and construction after building a prop-driven bicycle using his mother's Maytag washing machine engine. His love for aviation grew when he joined the U.S. Navy in 1955, attending the Navy airman preparatory, aircraft mechanics, and aircraft navigation schools.
During Dyke's service in the Navy, he met Dr. Alexander Lippisch, father of the delta wing, at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Dyke traveled to Germany to study Lippisch's work and then later studied NASA delta wing experimentation work. Dyke has built several Delta models and tested a wind tunnel he built. His first was designated JD-1, and in 1963, he flew it to the EAA fly-in convention in Rockford. He later designed the JD-2, which first flew to Rockford in 1966 and is still flying today.
Dyke has received numerous awards for his outstanding designs, knowledge, and contributions to aviation including the EAA President's Award and the FAAs Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award. Dyke's contributions to aviation continue through his support of the Delta Builders Network, now numbering about 600, and his dedication to EAA AirVenture, which he has attended for more than 50 years.William B. "Bill" Finagin
International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame
William B. "Bill" Finagin
Video Bio
William B. "Bill" Finagin acquired his first pilot certificate in 1955 and began competing in serious aerobatics in the 1980s. His love for aviation and aerobatics helped him develop into a well-respected aerobatics instructor with an estimated flying time of 18,000 hours.
Before becoming an instructor, Finagin received a bachelor's degree in psychology and later graduated from dental school in 1963. He then taught at the Maryland School of Dentistry and practiced part time in Annapolis after resigning his commission in the Navy. Finagin retired from the Navy in 1991 as a two-star Admiral.
Finagin has achieved a lot since he earned his pilot certificate. He is an EAA and IAC government relations representative, an original aerobatic competency evaluator and committee member appointed by the FAA, the owner of Dent Air Ltd., and has been a Pitts authorized dealer for 30 years. He's trained more than 600 people through the entire range of spins, giving him more than 10,000 hours as a Pitts instructor. Many of his students became astronauts, and one joined the Mission of Naval Air Training Command.Mike Loehle
Ultralight Hall of Fame
Mike Loehle
Video Bio
After Mike Loehle soloed at age 16, he fell in love with ultralight flying, which inspired him to participate in the Civil Air Patrol and attend the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Loehle has been an ultralight pilot since 1976, when he attended his first EAA fly-in convention and developed an interest in the aircraft. After visiting Oshkosh, Loehle purchased an Easy Riser and went on to design a tail and landing gear to stabilize it. During this time, he began to design engine mounts and operated an ultralight business, first from his parents' basement and then in a T-hangar at Bowman Field in Louisville, Kentucky.
Loehle contributed to the "5151" Mustang by turning his idea of an ultralight P-51 Mustang into a flying machine and introduced the prototype at Oshkosh in 1985. It was a huge influence in the growth of ultralight aviation. He has manufactured aircraft kits for 28 years, including props, and has also developed a complete paint line. His designs are built and flown in 20 countries.
Loehle has received many awards, including Grand Champion Ultralight and Outstanding Craftsmanship at EAA AirVenture, Most Innovative Modifications at Sun 'n Fun, and the LAMA President's Award.Connie Bowlin
Warbirds of America Hall of Fame
Connie Bowlin
Video Bio
After completing studies at Winston-Salem Business College in 1970, Connie Bowlin began her aviation career as a Delta Airlines flight attendant. During her time with Delta, she obtained her private, commercial, and airline transport pilot certificates and multiengine and instrument ratings. She became the fourth female pilot hired by Delta and one of the first 50 women pilots hired by a major commercial airline.
Bowlin flew as a second officer on the Boeing 727 and as a copilot on the DC-9 and Boeing 767/757 before eventually moving to captain on the DC-9. In 2003, she retired as a Boeing-767/757 captain. She not only flew commercial aircraft but warbirds as well. She has enjoyed flying the P-51 Mustang and EAA's B-17. She has more than 17,000 hours of flying time in more than 70 different aircraft.
Her involvement with warbirds, aviation history, and aviation friendships inspired her to co-found AviationAutographs.com. She has also become one of the driving forces behind EAA's popular Warbirds in Review program at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. In 1998, Bowlin was honored as an Eagle at the Gathering of Eagles and remains an inspiration to both female and male pilots.Joan E. Mace
National Association of Flight Instructors Hall of Fame
Joan E. Mace
Video Bio
Joan E. Mace has 65 years of aviation experience and started flight instructing in 1946 at Ohio University Airport in Athens, Ohio. After graduating from high school, she left for Columbus, Ohio, developing a strong interest in aviation at Curtiss-Wright, a major aircraft manufacturer that contributed greatly to the Allied effort during World War II. While at Curtiss-Wright, Mace was responsible for checking landing gear, rivets, and flaring panels. Later, the U.S. Army Air Forces accepted her for Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) training, but hostilities ended and she never took part in the war effort. As many World War II veterans returned to college, Mace found her commercial and instructor certificates were all she needed to become the only woman among 22 instructors at Ohio University Airport.
Mace advanced her ratings and became one of only 60 women in the country to hold a multiengine airline transport pilot certificate. This contributed to her being named Top Female Pilot of the Year in 1980 by the All Ohio Ninety-Nines. She also received the Medal of Merit Award in 1992, Elder Statesman Award in 2003, and the Alumni of the Year Award and FAA Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award in 2004. In 2002, Mace was inducted into the Amelia Earhart International Forest of Friendship.
As the first female chair of a university aviation department, she has opened doors for women in aviation. She helped create a four-year bachelors degree program in airway science in the College of Engineering at Ohio University and established an aviation advisory board at the university.Charles "Don" Fairbanks
National Association of Flight Instructors Hall of Fame
Charles "Don" Fairbanks
Video Bio
Born in Toledo, Ohio, Charles "Don" Fairbanks is one of the most successful flight instructors of his area. He became a flight instructor in 1947 and started Cardinal Air Training and the Conference of Flight Instructors (CFI) at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati. Fairbanks attended the original AOPA flight instructor refresher clinic (FIRC) course at Ohio State in 1966 and went on to instruct many AOPA and Helicopter Association International (HAI) seminars. He is also an EAA flight advisor.
Fairbanks' flight experience dates back to 1944 and includes 27,450 flight hours. He worked with Sporty's in producing its first training video, "So You Want to Fly Helicopters."
As a member of EAA, AOPA, NAFI, Freemasons, Shrine, Eastern Star, Silver Wings, Quiet Birdsmen, the Professional Race Pilots Association, and HAI, Fairbanks has accomplished many things. He was presented the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award in 2005 and the AOPA 60 Years Certificate of Achievement. Fairbanks wrote and published his autobiography, Once Around the Patch (Of Life), assisted W.J. Wagtendonk with Principles of Helicopter Flight, and made recommendations for updating the Basic Helicopter Handbook.

Gillian, how does it feel to have him riding in front of you? Do you think it throws off your balance at all or make it any more difficult to turn? I would love to get Owyn a seat for the bike, DH and I used to ride bikes all the time and I'd love to get back to it. I've looked at another that goes on the handlebars, but I'd think it would be weird to turn like that.
I haven't seen a seat that goes on the handlebars - I would definitely think that would be awkward! I really like having the seat on the front though, it feels safer having him right there between my arms and be able to see him. And I imagine as he gets older he'll point to things and want to talk. Right now he just sits quietly and takes it all in.

Sometimes you feel like some nuts and some big ass titties, and when you do, Porntube is ready for you as it houses one of the best collections of real Shemale porn on the internet today. What is a shemale you ask? It's a dude that's all male on bottom and all female on top. You'd have a hard time picking these shemales out of a crowd until their pants come off and you see their cock! Many of them are gorgeous with hot bodies and tits that range from small A cups all the way up to D cup boulders! These mysterious sex god/goddesses can be seen fucking in all sorts of situations and scenarios. There is shemale to male sex, which often involved deep oral and anal. We have shemale masturbation scenes, some of which include toys in the ass, while others are more hand to cock jerk off oriented. We even feature shemale group sex, where more than one shemale can be seen satisfying a few men with their mouths and hard-ons. We've got black shemales, white shemales, Asian shemales and a plethora of Latina shemales, all of whom are ready to show you how they like to get freaky.
PornTube has shemales in pantyhose, shemales sucking nipples and shemales getting ridden bareback, so as you can see the variety of shemale material we have posted is endless. Our motto is there is no shame in the game, so whether you are checking out our shemale collection as a, "you've got to see this to believe this" onlooker or because you like the mystique of knowing these man ladies look like some of the hottest chicks at the clubs, but that they've got a surprise under their skirt, it makes no matter. PornTube is more than willing to be your direct contact to fulfill your shemale sex romp fantasies.

Young and Future Generations Day
Young and Future Generations Day is a non-stop celebration of youth power and participation at United
Nations climate change conferences. Youth-led side events, workshops and festivities take place
throughout the day, with a continuous stream of creative actions that prove that young people are key
players in reaching innovative, ambitious solutions on climate change.
This year's Young and Future Generations Day took place on Thursday, 14 November 2013. Read more
about it here!
UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth working with young people at COP 19/CMP 9
During his visit 14 to 16 November, the UN
Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth, Mr. Ahmad Alhendawi, met in person with YOUNGO for the
first time to learn about youth aspirations to design joint advocacy actions. The Envoy engaged with
youth representatives inside and outside the conference venue and met a number of key figures in the
UNFCCC process. Read more about his visit here:Day 1, Day 2, Day 3
Intergenerational Inquiry
The annual Intergenerational Inquiry provides a platform for youth delegates from around the world to
engage with key players in the intergovernmental climate change arena. This year's sixth edition
focused on intergenerational equity as a moral principle that can unite developing and developed
countries with civil society; older, younger and future generations; and all genders in pursuit of
climate justice and an ambitious post 2015 climate agreement.
The Intergenerational Inquiry took place on Thursday, 14 November 13:15-14:45, Room Cracow. Read more
Mini-side events
Mini-side events give young people access to a stage, a microphone and a captive audience.
Young people can use the mini-side events to showcase a video they produced, present a report they
have written, sing a song or tell the world about an issue close to their hearts.
If you would like to organize a mini-side event, please contact us at email@example.com
High-level youth briefings
series of intimate and interactive briefings geared specifically towards youth takes place during
United Nations climate change conferences. This is a chance for youth delegates to get direct access
to high-level representatives – such as the Chairs of negotiating bodies and the current and
incoming COP Presidencies, just to name a few. Each briefing lasts 30 minutes with most of the time
devoted to candid questions from young people. Read about some of this year's High-level
briefings here.
Youth Virtual Participation Room
The Youth Virtual Participation Room enables youth all over
the world to connect in real time to COP 19/CMP 9, albeit not being physically present. The room is
equipped with virtual conferencing devices and provides facilities for youth organizations to hold
meetings with their constituents back home. If you are interested in using this room, please contact
Mr. David Gawith via email at email@example.com
UN Youth Booth
This exhibition booth is hosted by the United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on
Children, Youth and Climate Change and allows participating United Nations and youth organizations to
showcase their work. Volunteers from the youth constituency are invited to staff the booth and answer
questions from delegates. The booth is also a hub for young people, who often use it as a meeting
place and to post information on YOUNGO's daily activities. The UN Youth Booth is located in
the exhibition area of the COP 19/CMP 9 conference venue (Zone A, Level 0).

Children and
young people have been participating in the UNFCCC intergovernmental process since COP 5 in Bonn. Starting in
COP 11/CMP 1, youth have also organized preparatory meetings called "Conferences of Youth," which
help build their capacity to participate in the UNFCCC negotiation process.
Since 2009 youth non-governmental organizations have been enjoying constituency status. This provides YOUNGO
with the opportunity to address the plenary, High Level Segment of a COP/CMP, make submissions (individual
youth organizations also), attend workshops, meet with officials of the Convention such as SB/AWG Chairs and
COP President. They also organize Young and Future Generation's Day during the COP/CMP featuring a series
of side events, exhibits, interviews, media stunts and other activities.

How to Use Market Replay with NinjaTrader 7
Why should you use NinjaTrader's Market Replay?
- To practice placing trade in simulated, real-time conditions
- To back-testing a strategy to see its effectiveness when trading live
- To bypass the need for a live data feed (although live trading with a free demo account is always recommended)
- Few other day trading platforms offer such a feature
- When your schedule doesn't allow for real-time paper trading, this is the next best thing.
- Don't wait until tomorrow to practice under live trading conditions!
With NinjaTrader 7, it's possible to replay market activity for nearly any given day. After downloading a given day's replay data, NinjaTrader uses the data (either minute or tick) to plot price at the exact values at the exact time as recorded. More specifically, you can see price plot on your charts and DOMs as though the day (or night) is unfolding in real-time. Orders can be place and success can be tracked using the Replay101 account (similar to Sim101 account). Replay101 is NinjaTrader's designated Market Replay account. Unlike previous versions of NinjaTrader that require the user to record the data locally for replay, NinjaTrader 7 lets users download history for free on a per request basis.
Here's how to use Market Replay:
1. If you are currently connected to a data feed, disconnect from it.
2. Download the latest Replay Data through NinjaTrader's Control Center:
File > Utilities > Download Replay Data
Choose the market you want data for
Choose the date you want data for
Check both L1 and L2 boxes
Click OK
3. In the bottom right corner of the Control Center, you will see that the Replay Data is downloading. This will take a few minutes. Before continuing to the next step, please wait until the downloading status disappears.
4. Go to File > Connect > Click Market Replay Connection. Open a chart and a DOM if you don't have them available. Make sure that the replay connection is selected in the chart and DOM. You should also see the Replay player. With this tool, you can pause market activity, fast forward and play. Drag the slider to advance to a specified time frame.
5. Trade like you're using a real account.
Keep in mind, the data on the DOM won't contain every increment / decrement in the Buy and Sell columns as experienced during the day's live trading. The packaged history is optimized in terms of file size and useability.

new piece that I'm working on
Nice studies Keep going!
one more wip that I'm working on now
The Godfather is awesome !
Wacom Bamboo fun, pencils and pens, Photoshop CS6, Seven 64.
"And they shall know no fear"
really impressive body of work, the improvements are so clear. You have obviously been putting in a lot of hard work. Your Digital painting is really moving along nicely. Those master studies in post 627 are amazing. The flesh tones on the woman and the ways you have detailed the eyes is outstanding. Like you knight in the graveyard piece 608 although I agree with the comments about the horse being too small. But the overall mood of the pice is good, not sure how much photo ref you use for your imaginative pieces but maybe use a bit more just to bring more realistic details to the pieces and depth. Love the final fantasy cover too nice composition.
Nice sketches man; I would suggest studying a little more color theory and tonal values as your colors tend to get muddy, such as the guy mounted on the horse piece and the dragon comp. on the previous page.
keep it up man , loving your work
Belette666, thanks!
ja1307, thanks. I guess I should get back to that piece with a horse and fix it sometime. Thanks for the advice
SandyMan, yeah, I always have trouble with color when I'm working from my head. It's strange though, because getting the right colors when I'm working from a photo ref is one the easiest things to me :/ Thanks!
0000 thanks man
photo study
spent a lot of time on this one, but not happy with the result. I guess I have to move on and forget about it
two more studies
quick sketch
worked some more on this one
The latest got some pretty interesting idea going on, but it doesn't feel as it's taking place under water. You should make it more like the underwater studies you made, particularly the one to the left.
Portfolio : Sketchbook : Blog : Vimeo
Thanks AimBiZ, I'll keep that in mind
Nice studies. You might want to loosen up a bit though, play with some hard edges in the skin shading. It's all very smooth and blurred - might be just my personal taste though.
JaneMag, thanks. I took your advice and was focusing on hard/soft edges while painting this one
changed some things on this one. I don't think that I'll work any more on it
Hows it going Tadas? Though you may be tired or worn out of your painting with the girl underwater, I think you should keep working on it I think it's really interesting and think you could push it farther.
Take a break maybe do some more studies of the subjects in it but I say keep pushing it
have a good one man good to see you still on the grind
sketchbook updated October 6th
really interesting stuff,
Jamie, I'm good yeah, I might get back to that piece a bit later
thanks sony
more work on the last WIP
probably finished it
Really impressive. the girl on post nr 654 is gorgeous and I really like the texture on her clothes
thanks ninaren
