Federico Uribe: Fantasy River - Hudson River Museum Through September 22, 2013 - Yonkers
In a summertime extravaganza, the Hudson River Museum presents a dramatic new 3-dimensional landscape - inspired by the dreams of artist Federico Uribe, acclaimed for his fascinating transformations of everyday objects into art. Witness how he creates sculptures, which are not "sculpted," but instead, constructed and woven in ways, curious and unpredictable, intricate and compulsive. A conceptual artist originally from Columbia, Uribe makes individual works and whole-room installations entirely from objects we see around us - shoes, colored pencils, hangers. Red, blue, yellow, a panoply of colors envelopes in this three-gallery display. For the Hudson River Museum, Uribe creates his site-specific installation, "Fantasy River," inspired by the dramatic rolling banks of the Hudson and the world's other great rivers. Filled with blossoming flowers, flying birds, dazzling sunshine, and the flowing "water" of a winding river, this installation, created from new and old materials, provides a spectacular theatrical experience in the Museum's central atrium. Uribe's art is a unique hybrid that resists classification. Watch how he uses the language of pop art to transform the objects of daily life, while tipping his hat to the history and tradition of classical art. Uribe studied art at the University of Los Andes in Bogota, and in 1988 moved to New York to study with acclaimed conceptual artist Luis Camnitzer. As part of his global vision, Uribe's career includes years of work in Cuba, Mexico, Russia, England and Miami. On view through September 22, 2013.

Open daily Oct 1-31. Kykuit's modern and classical art collection, architecture, and expansive gardens are consistently rated the top attraction in the lower Hudson Valley, and draw tens of thousands of visitors annually. Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist. By his death in 1937, he had given away more than half his fortune through various philanthropic programs. Visitors can choose from four tours: Classic, Grand, Timesaver, and Selected Highlights. The Classic, ideal for first-time visitors, is a shorter experience than the comprehensive, three-hour Grand. Besides the mansion, both of these tours include time in Kykuit's art galleries, gardens, and Coach Barn, with its collection of horse-drawn carriages, vintage automobiles, and equestrian equipment. The 90-minute Timesaver is ideal for those on tighter schedules, while Selected Highlights maximizes time in the gardens. Visitors can buy tickets online in advance, choosing the exact tour, time, and date they want to visit. Tickets are on sale at hudsonvalley.org. Historic Hudson Valley recommends advanced ticket buying, particularly for weekend tours, which fill up quickly. Besides online, tickets may be purchased by calling 914-631-8200 (service charge additional) or at the Kykuit Visitor Center at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow.

NEW YORK –- The Flyers' goalie vacancy has taken yet another twist with a name not previously in the mix.
According to an NHL source here at this weekend's NHL draft, the Flyers have made some inquires with St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong about the availability of Jaroslav Halak, who lost the starter's job to Brian Elliott this past season.
The 28-year-old Slovakian has one year left on his current contract with a $3.75 million salary cap hit.
St. Louis isn't sure about what Halak's price tag will be on re-signing. Even more difficult for the Blues is that Elliott also has a year left and is making far less money -- $1.8 million -- but will be seeking starter's coinage next summer.
"The Flyers have been told it's going to take a very good player, but it won't take one of their top guys, which Philadelphia was worried about," the source said. "He could be their No. 1."
Halak appeared in 16 games last season with Ken Hitchcock's Blues, with a 2.14 goals against average and .899 save percentage. His seven-year NHL career numbers are solid: 2.41 GAA and .917 save percentage.
He was the starter in Montreal during the 2010 playoffs, which saw the Canadiens ousted by the Flyers in five games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Halak was twice bothered by groin injuries last season and had a few run-ins with Hitchcock. He was very upset at losing his starter's job and turned up late for several team meetings in protest of that fact.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has been talking to many general managers in recent weeks, both in person at the GM Meetings earlier this month and on the phone.
There is a long list of goalie possibilities, including Tim Thomas. Sources close to Thomas say he was intrigued by the Flyers. Another possibility is Ray Emery, who the Flyers remain fond of after his last stint here that unfortunately ended with AVN disease in his right hip.
Others are Jose Theodore and Roberto Luongo, if he is bought out and becomes a free agent.
http://www.sbnation.com/2013/6/28/44752 ... slav-halak
The Philadelphia Flyers have interest in St. Louis Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak, according to Tim Panaccio of Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia on Friday afternoon.
Citing an NHL source, Panaccio reports Philadelphia has made inquires into the availability of Halak. The 28-year-old goaltender is entering the final-year of a four-year, $15 million contract that carries an annual average value of $3.75 million against the salary cap. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
According to the source, St. Louis will require a "very good player" in return for Halak, but won't require one of their top guys. In the majority of rumors involving the Flyers, Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier are often mentioned as players of interest from opposing clubs. This source seemingly indicates that the Blues are not asking for either player.
While Panaccio's report doesn't specifically mention any player by name, 27-year-old forward Matt Read has surfaced in rumors and was reportedly connected to a potential deal with the Los Angeles Kings for restricted free agent goaltender Jonathan Bernier. Read certainly could be described as a very good player and is even more valuable given his disproportionate annual average value of $900,000. Set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, Read stands to earn a sizable raise.
Considering Halak will also hit the unrestricted market next summer, the two teams might find common ground in a deal. However, Read's involvement in these discussions is merely a speculative perspective and is not mentioned in Panaccio's report.
In terms of Halak, he is one of three goaltenders on the Blues roster. Brian Elliott is also entering the final-year of his contract, which carries an annual average value of $1.8 million. The club also has 22-year-old goaltender Jake Allen, who will be a restricted free agent this summer.
Many have speculated that the Blues will attempt to use their depth in goal to improve the forward group. Whether that is true remains to be seen.

quote:I'm definitely considering purchasing gw2. I remember play the first guild wars and loved it. Then I heard about WoW and that sent me on a downward spiral since 04
quote:Thinking about getting this one.... Is the gameplay similar to the first?
quote:Oh btw, is the whole thing mmo or is it like the old gw where you could only interact with people in a city
quote:The experience to gain a level from 11-12 is the same all the way to 80
quote:Checking them out now. What will we be focused on? pvp or pve?
quote: I remember pvp in guild wars not being very fun (at least for me).
quote:And I would like to know what profession to choose (for the guild). I don't have a preference so I'll just choose one that will help out ole war skule the most.
quote:PvP is different. But still if you like the ideas of Rangers, be one, the group and you can adapt to that choice. Really, classes are extremely flexible in this one.
quote:Glad to hear I have played some form of ranger/beastmaster going back to my pencil and paper days.
quote:so, there's really no bad class to choose? i've always liked playing a char that is flexible and not pigeonholed into one thing
quote:As of last word, Rangers were Top Tier OP in PvP
quote:Ranger utilities can be devastating, but I think the real issue is that greatswords have been overpowered for every class across the board.
quote:ETA: Also, pets are largely useless right now.
quote:This is true. And sad, but didn't they make strides in the last beta?

Tekst: Lucy Burningham | Datum:
This week we're dreaming about travel. Whether you're taking the long road home or spending a few weeks in an exotic locale, these are objects we know will make the journey better. Because let's be honest, be it the ultimate travel bike bag or a smart wool jacket designed for urban riding, sometimes you just need a reason to put something to use.
Rapha Women's Base Layer – From $85
Yes, these base layers are perfect for riding. But I'm also a fan of wearing quality base layers in other situations: to help me get a good night's sleep in a tent, or pick up the pace during a cold-weather run, or feel cozy while sitting around a bonfire on a beach. You can't go wrong with this merino wool—it's soft and never smelly. Short sleeves are great for warmer climes but for me, long sleeves are the more versatile must-have.
Pika Packworks EEP – $359
Because I always want to ride my own bikes no matter where I go, a durable, thoughtfully designed bike travel bag is essential. This one is clever in so many ways, starting with the name (Exercise Equipment Pack), which can inspire your explanation of "what's inside the bag?" at airport ticket counters to avoid paying bike transport fees. Designed and crafted by one man — former pro cyclist Mark Smedley — in Salt Lake City, Utah, the bags come with a 10- or 20-year warranty, depending on where the bag ships.
Nau Highline Blazer – $332
This jacket could easily become one of my wardrobe staples. In addition to the water-resistant and breathable wool flannel, the coat has a popable collar plus longer sleeves and a hem—proof it was designed for a woman who rides a bike. It's the kind of piece that packs easily and can go from light outdoor adventures to urban meetings.
Handmade rug from Our Open Road – Prices Vary
Sometimes travel can mean living vicariously through people who are doing it right. When I have a serious case of wanderlust, I check in on the blog by this American "family of three":http://ouropenroad.com/. They're traveling overland through the Americas in a 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia camper. To help fund their trip, they buy local artisan goods and sell them online. These rugs are gorgeous and I like the cause.
Woodblock chocolate $45 – 10 bars
Pop a few of these slim Portland-made chocolate bars into your luggage, and you'll instantly become that houseguest who always gets invited back. Woodblock starts by sorting then roasting raw cacao beans, which means the final results are complex and thought-provoking treats. Highly recommended: the Madagascar and Salt & Nibs.
Rapha Randonnée – Portland to San Francisco
Starting in the cycling mecca of Portland and ending with a victorious pedal across the Golden Gate Bridge, this 1,380km ride is calling me. The weeklong trip follows the line of the Pacific coast. I know from my own experience that the Oregon portion comes with unbeatable views of the sea and range of dreamy roads. I'd be especially excited to ride through Northern California's Lost Coast, new territory.
Chopping Board & Knife Set – $42
Because I believe in proper picnicking and in checking bags while flying, I'm enamored with this Japanese knife and wood carrying case, which can double as a cutting board. Hard cheeses and unsliced charcuterie of the world, look out. I'm coming for you.
Orval Beer – straight from the source
Sure, you can track down a bottle of one of the world's rarest and most delicious Trappist beers at fine craft beer establishments around the globe. But I'm pretty sure the beer tastes a thousand times better at the source, within the walls of the Orval monastery in Belgium. That's why I'm dreaming of riding my bike to the abbey tavern for a tulip glass filled to the brim with this wonderful beer.
Lucy Burningham is a writer based in Portland, Oregon. Her musings on food and wine are indispensable on any trip and her website lucyburningham.com is a great showcase for her work. Among other things you can check out her New York Times article: Bottoms Up: Beer-Flavored Ice Cream. Goodness knows, we would take #oneoftheseplease.
Using the hashtag #oneoftheseplease we want to see you sharing and tagging the things you really want this season via Instagram and Twitter.
Obviously we'd expect most of those things to be Rapha but they don't have to be. They can be absolutely anything that captures your desire, whether it's that vintage Italian racing frame, those handmade loafers or state-of-the-art headphones. With some great prizes up for grabs, it's also a great way of dropping hints to your loved ones.
Just tell us, @rapharacing via Instagram or Twitter that you want #oneoftheseplease. Make sure you add a URL if it's a link.
And for those who discover some seriously incredible items, or present them in an intriguing way, there are prizes up for grabs:
• Grand Prize is a Ultimate Classics Bundle or Ultimate Women's Classics Bundle
• Second prize is a City Riding Jersey + Jeans Bundle or Women's Winter Bundle
• Third place receives a Winter Accessories Bundle.
Prizes will be be announced at the end of the promotion, with all entries eligible so long as they feature the #oneoftheseplease tag, a mention of @rapharacing, and brief description of their request.
To see how it's done, here are some of the best ones from last week…

The beach is right across the street, we saw a couple of dolphins pass by during our breakfast on the lookout sofa. No wifi, the kitchen does not contain a lot of things (some cutlery, mugs, pots). Off-street parking on beach promenade with security guide - not too good a place to hang out after sunset, though (inside the hostel grounds and the pub next door it's no problem at all).

Dammann Earl Grey Tea
Country of Origin: China
The Earl Grey blend is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, who reputedly received a gift, of tea flavored with bergamot oil from a Chinese bureaucrat.
This Earl Grey is made using unsmoked Chinese teas harvested in the Southern provinces. Its enchanting aroma comes from the Calabrian Bergamot oil used to create a classic Earl Grey. We find that this tea is best enjoyed in the late afternoon or early evening. The sachets are kept in a deep blue tin that will look beautiful in your pantry. Recommended steeping time is 4 - 5 minutes.

Principal Investigator(s): Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Data-Driven Learning Guides are a collection of instructional exercises that can be used to enhance teaching of core concepts in the social sciences. This learning guide investigates the relationship between social identity and attitudes toward out-group members. Specifically, it explores the relationship between American identity and immigrant resentment, and examines how this resentment in turn may influence atttitudes about immigration policies. Frequency distributions, crosstabulations, correlations, and multiple regression are used for the analyses.

The foundation for the research dialogue was given in decision 9/CP.11 on research needs relating to the Convention, which stipulated an enhanced communication between Parties and the scientific community, and requested the SBSTA to regularly consider research needs and systematic observation relating the Convention. The objective of such communication is two-fold:
In response to this request, the SBSTA initiated a dialogue on research needs under the Convention between Parties and regional and international climate change research programmes and organizations. At SBSTA 26 it was agreed to develop and maintain such dialogue in the context of decision 9/CP.11, and relevant research programmes and organizations were invited to regularly inform the SBSTA of developments in research activities relevant to the needs of the Convention, including: emerging scientific findings, research planning activities, research priorities and gaps, research capacity building activities particularly in developing countries, regional climate change research networks and relevant communication issues (see FCCC/SBSTA/2007/4, para 47(f)).

Installing the Phase I Tool
On August 29, 2014 a new version of the PIT was released to support the 2015A call for proposals.
Please see the PIT Version Table for the appropriate PIT to use for different proposal types.
This page contains instructions for downloading and installing the Phase I Tool (PIT). You can install the software on individual machines or for an entire network of workstations. Versions are available for the following operating systems from the Phase I software repository:
- Windows (XP / Vista / 7)
- Linux (most distributions, including RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu)
- Mac OS X (Intel Macs only with Leopard and newer with Java 1.6)
If you experience any problems installing or running the PIT, please see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for the latest information.
Please read the description of new features on the PIT Release Notes page. (As in recent semesters all joint proposals must be submitted through PIT. Backend servers installed at all partner National Offices allow automatic electronic submission to multiple partners at the same time). The PIT will import proposal files from 2012B and later, but not from semesters before that.
An example proposal is available from here. You can load it using the "Open" button within the PIT. Template examples are included.
The PIT software, LaTeX/Word templates, and example files are available on the Gemini software site in the directory corresponding to the semester. You should use your web browser to download the files. Depending on your browser, right or shift+click to save the file.
The PIT will read proposals from previous semesters but it will convert them to the format for the new semester and some information may be converted or deleted. Use the PIT that created the proposal XML file to view a proposal in its original form. A repository of old PITs is here.
Please read the installation instructions below for your preferred operating system:
Using the Gemini Phase I Tool on Windows
The Phase I Tool has been tested on Windows XP and Windows 7.
Installing on Windows
- Download the current Windows distribution of the Phase I Tool from the Gemini FTP site (follow the link to browse the ftp directory and right or shift+click the file named pit_2015A.1.1.0_windows.exe).
- The Windows distribution is provided as a Windows executable installer.
- Use Windows Explorer to display the directory in which you downloaded the installer. You must have at least 120 megabytes of disk space available to install the Phase I Tool on Windows.
- Double-click the installer executable and follow the installer instructions. When the installation is completed, you will see a congratulatory message. Press the "Done" button to exit.
- The installation places a "Gemini/Gemini PIT" folder in your start menu. Selecting "Gemini PIT.2015A.1.1" launches the Phase I Tool.
Using the Gemini Phase I Tool on Linux
The Phase I Tool can be used on most recent Linux distributions, including RedHat Enterprise, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu. (Note that you cannot use the twm window manager).
Installing on Linux
- Download the current Linux distribution of the Phase I Tool from the Gemini FTP site (follow the link to browse the ftp directory and right or shift+click the file named pit_2015A.1.1.0_linux32.tar.gz (32-bit) or pit_2015A.1.1.0_linux64.tar.gz (64-bit)).
- Use gunzip and tar to unpack the distribution in a directory where you have at least 150 megabytes of disk space.
gunzip -c filename | tar -xvf -- The distribution unpacks into a single directory named "pit_2015A.1.1.0_linux32" or "pit_2015A.1.1.0_linux64".
- Run the PIT. You can use the complete path to the startup script, as shown below (where the $ represents your shell prompt), or you can include that directory in your PATH.
Using the Gemini Phase I Tool on Mac OS X
Starting with the 2011A PIT, you must have a Java 1.6 (Java 6) installed to use the Phase I Tool. It should already be installed if you are using 10.5 to 10.7 (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion) and regularly use Software Update. The virtual machine will be available through the Software Update system preference panel if it isn't already installed. Java is not included with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) but it can be downloaded from Apple.
The PIT will not run on PowerPC Macintosh computers since Apple does not provide Java 6 for these machines.
Installing on Macintosh OS X
- Download the current OS X distribution of the Phase I Tool from the Gemini FTP site (follow the link to browse the FTP directory and right or shift+click the file named pit_2015A.1.1.0_macos.dmg).
- The Macintosh OS X distribution is provided as a disk image file.
- Use the Finder to display the directory in which you downloaded the disk image. You must have at least 51 megabytes of disk space available to install the Phase I Tool on Mac OS X.
- Double-click on the disk image (dmg) file to open and mount it. Then drag the "Gemini PIT 2015A.1.1" application icon to the location where you want to install it (normally the Applications folder). Then unmount the disk image from the Finder.
- Double-click on the application icon to run the Phase I Tool.

WaterGeeks Beyond BPA Free Bottle
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
While all the bottles in our test were BPA-free, the WaterGeeks Beyond BPA Free Bottle claims to be completely free of any chemicals that can disrupt the endocrine system (like phthalates). Testers gave it high marks for comfort and ease of use, and it sailed through our durability test. Unfortunately, water may leak or spill, a problem if you plan to take this bottle with you on the go. The manufacturer promotes this bottle as BPA-free. thewatergeeks.com.

On Dasher, on Dancer, on Porkchop, on DJ Downey McFresh... wait, no. That's not even close to correct. But Tracy Morgan's recitation of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" takes a few liberties with the original text (published in 1823 by an anonymous author later revealed to be Clement Clarke Moore, though not without its share of contesting theories... hey, didn't think you were gonna learn anything in a post with a headline about Tracy Morgan and pimps, did ya?!), and they're kind of infectious.
Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the host brought on his old Saturday Night Live buddy Morgan to join him in a reading of the classic holiday verse. While Fallon remained reverent to the beloved scripture, Morgan spouted his usual brand of off-color commentary, suggestive of some undiagnosed mental illness, between lines. The 30 Rock star's tangential subject matter varied from Tempur-Pedic mattresses to the severity of the obesity epidemic. Check out the video below for some nontraditional holiday cheer.

Australia at War
Australia had a dilemma at the start of World War Two. When Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939, Australia had to decide whether to use her military to support Britain in the European sphere of war or to keep her forces in the Far East in view of the worsening situation there with regards to Japanese expansion. Any movement of Australian troops to Britain (or to places such as Egypt) would weaken the strength of Australia's military at home. Any serious Allied military defeat would also impact on the Australian military, which might be part of this defeat. The Australian government decided that any major Axis victory in Europe against the British would almost certainly be decisive and change the course of the war – therefore, the government decided that it would commit all its forces against the danger Germany posed in Europe. Britain requested military assistance from Australia within a week of declaring war on Germany.
"Mr. Churchill had no conception of the British Dominions as separate entities and the more distant the problem from the heart of the Empire the less he thought about it."

5 POPCORN AT IT'S BESTnumber2 | 07/10/2009 | See all number2's reviews (23)We know all the scenes are a copy of other films , but if they work so well why not put them together and enjoy all the good bits in one , as they have done in silverado . The film is a very good western in it's own right added to which it is a very good transfer also , the picture is crisp and clear but like the quick and the dead you need to turn up the volume a little to get the sound quality to match the picture
5 Great transfer, classic 80's fun, Top Cast!WookieUlrich | 25/09/2009 | See all WookieUlrich's reviews (5)Silverado was and still is one of my favorite westerns,especially when it has a cast that includes so many big names.I especially like Kevin Costners character, who is just fun to watch,while the roles by Kevin Kline, Danny Glover and Scott Glenn add some great dramatic moments, with a great 'camaraderie' shown amongst the four of them. As for the Blu-Ray transfer, the studio has done the right thing in providing the fans of this 80's gem with a carefully mastered print, boasting some strong colours, fine detail in most shots, especially the exterior one's, where some of the landscapes look even more breathtaking than before.The print is also largely free of any dust/scratches etc.. which make's this 1985 (a personal favorite year for films - BTTF, Commando, Rambo II, Rocky IV, to name a few..) movie a great addition to your HD collection. I cant really give much of a review of the Audio as I watched it other night with headphones :) but there's a nice dynamic range, which complements the excellent score, paying tribute to the great sweeping scores of the classic Ford/Hawkes era of western movies, as well as the mix of subtle sounds mixed with the action sequences. Havent had chance to look at the Kevin Costner documentary yet, which he looks back on the experiences of shooting Silverado etc.. also included is a commentary track by historians, and another documentary.Overall highly recommended to not only fans of the film, but also one's who enjoy a good western, with a great cast.. plus it's an 80's film, need I say anymore?
