Governor's Ball has done an excellent job of being reminiscent of the city in which it takes place. It's eclectic, exciting, and unique, taking place on Randall's Island between Manhattan and Queens. Last year it had rocking headliners such as Jack White, Vampire Weekend, and Outkast. It's been growing at an exponential rate and this year has reeled in some heavy hitters all around.
For the festival's 5th anniversary, the lineup features headliners Drake, My Morning Jacket, Lana Del Rey, The Black Keys, Ryan Adams, and Deadmau5. It's an interesting combination of those great, sure-to-be enjoyable rock bands, a lovable rapper, a little EDM, and then Lana. Though I would have appreciated a little more variety, there is something for everyone here, an important factor for the NYC crowd.
Other than the headliners, this lineup is strong. It's got some incredible female artists who are known for their theatrics and musical prowess – Florence & the Machine, St. Vincent, BJORK. There's also a strong presence of newbies making a huge impact like Marina & the Diamonds and The War on Drugs. However, there are some pretty strong scheduling conflicts. Festival goers are going to have to choose between Lana Del Rey and The Black Keys. A pretty big bummer considering Dan Auerbach produced her last album. Also, fans of the ever-growing electronic/indie rock crossover sound will have to choose between Flume and SBTRKT. Not good, Gov Ball, not good. And because of these conflicts, I'm going to have to give you a B.
Björk is one of the most influential, multi-media artists of our time. How many other musicians can say they had an exhibition at the MOMA this year? None, that's how many. She is legendary, unique, and sure to put on a life changing performance. Also her new album Vulnicura has been getting awesome reviews. Check out her music video for "lionsong" just to get a glimpse of her sheer power.
Tame Impala
They're the 60s electro-psych band we've been craving for ages. But with a modern twist. Tame Impala has been rocking the house for their past two albums, but they've been delivering like no other with the singles released from their upcoming album, Currents. These guys have a lot up their sleeve and I am ecstatic to see their performance at Gov Ball.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
You know that Oasis guy? This is his separate project, but with all the Oasis-esque stuff you love. Noel performed at Webster Hall earlier this year and played plenty of old-school favorites in addition to his incredible solo work. This guy is a genius and definitely NOT a show you want to miss.
St. Vincent
Annie Clark is a sexy, brilliant goddess. She is perhaps one of the most talented female guitarists of our time and her shows are heard around the world (figuratively). It is a privilege to see this artist in person, whose talent is often paired with David Byrne and David Bowie.
Future Islands
Future Islands have been making an extreme impact in the electro-pop world for quite a few years now and they've gained a cult-like following in the process. They have such a unique sound, you can't help but appreciate them.
When I heard "Say My Name" I knew I was in love. This duo knows what's up. This is going to be a show full of dancing and heavy beats, perfect for Friday night.
Royal Blood
They're the hard-rock band I've been craving. "Figure It Out" has been my jam for the past few days. This show is sure to be loud and heavy so come ready for some head-banging.
Similar to Odesza, MØ has that female vocal paired with pop beats that we all just need right now. She's collaborated with Diplo and released a fantastically fun album. Don't miss this show.
The Districts
I seriously love these guys. I had the chance to see them open for Temples back in October and they put on an incredible show. Their new album A Flourish and a Spoil, released earlier this year, is all around awesome. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be a jamming indie rock performance.
Kate Tempest
Kate Tempest is such a treasure. She's the best crossover between poet, spoken word-artist, and Biggie-inspired rapper. She's got words like they're pumping through her veins. If you shed any existential tears at this festival, it will most likely be because of this incredible woman.

French carmaker Renault is planning to create 1,300 jobs in Spain under a scheme to increase output at its local plants, following an agreement with unions. Renault said in a statement that it will assign its Palencia plant in Northern Spain to build two new vehicle platforms, one a derivative of the other, and shared with Nissan.
The new platforms will underpin four vehicle bodies, allowing the French carmaker to boost total annual production by around 40,000 units to 280,000 units.
Through 2014 and 2015, output at Renault's engine and gearbox plants will increase to almost 1.4 million units annually, the carmaker added. Renault's body assembly plant in Valladolid will gain from the "competitive performance" agreed from recent negotiations with the carmaker carmakers, extending and improving the facility's options "with regard to future assignments."
Renault's announcement over its plans in Spain comes as the carmaker commenced negotiations on a French new labor agreement it wanted to finalize by the end of January 2013.
Renault has asked French workers for pay the working time concessions, warning that the results of the negotiations outcome of talks may affect future production plans, unions disclosed earlier this month.
Pressured by the continued dwindling of the European car market, Renault is aiming to align French wage and production costs with its plant in Palencia, Spain, as well as with Nissan's Sunderland site in England, Renault Chief Operating Officer Carlos Tavares remarked in September.

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Casey Douglas is the No. 3 starter in St. Francis' pitching rotation, which pretty much sums up why the Lancers are one of the state's top-ranked teams.
Facing undefeated Clayton Valley in the championship game of St. Francis' Elite 8 Classic on Thursday, Douglas looked like an ace. He threw 84 pitches and allowed just three hits as the Lancers prevailed 3-0 in a game that was over in about 75 minutes.
Douglas' gem followed strong outings from Tyler Deason and John Gavin in the previous two games and gave St. Francis a nice bounce-back after a tough loss to Elk Grove a week earlier in the Boras Classic Northern California final.
"We fully were aware that they are fantastic hitters, which they were," Douglas said of Clayton Valley. "The coaches prepared us, and we watched them the previous games."
Blake Billinger's sacrifice fly to center in the first inning gave Douglas all the run support he would need. The Lancers added two in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by Billinger and Deason and Jeremy Ydens' run-scoring single.
Douglas (4-0) did not yield a hit until Gabe Taylor stroked a fourth-inning single beyond the reach of second baseman Andrew Martinez. Douglas got the next batter to hit into a 1-6-3 double play to keep on rolling.
Two innings later, the senior did it again.
After giving up a one-out single, Douglas got a 1-6-3 double play to get his team back in the dugout.
"The double-play balls were huge," St. Francis coach Mike Oakland said. "They're obviously a good team. That was a good win for us.
"We didn't get it done last week, but we were able to get it done this week. It feels good, especially being able to defend our own championship."
Douglas had pitched only 14 innings before Thursday as he built arm strength after basketball season. His ERA after Thursday's game was the same as it was before: 0.00.
Catcher Tim Susnara said all of Douglas' pitches were working against Clayton Valley, which brought a 19-0 record into the final.
"He was hitting the whole strike zone," Susnara said. "Fastball, slider, change-up, he was throwing everything for strikes, and he was keeping it low. All of his starts he's been commanding the zone. The key is he's not overthrowing and not trying to light up the radar gun."
Douglas called Thursday's outing "fantastic," adding, "It boosted my personal confidence and it boosted our team's because we have a tough schedule coming up. We have to finish this season strong."
St. Francis (19-3) returns to West Catholic Athletic League competition Tuesday when it plays host to Bellarmine College Prep. The Lancers' next three-game week would be in mid-May, if they reach the WCAL tournament final.
"Obviously Tyler and John are fantastic pitchers; I love them both to death," Douglas said. "Personally, wherever Oak needs me, I'll fill in. If it's relieving, starting, I'll fill in."

Rollercoaster Review and Marketing Lessons: Six Flags New England
We made it a goal to ride every rollercoaster because after all, that is the whole point of going to an amusement park right… the rollercoasters!? So here is my review of the rides. First of all it probably needs to be stated that I am extremely critical of my rides.
Batman – The Dark Knight: This ride allows you to sit in open facing chairs, and we had the pleasure of riding on the front row. Definitely enjoyed this coaster a lot, and I would recommend anyone that rides it to definitely get on the front row. 7/10
Bizarro (Formerly Superman: Ride of Steel): So in a common practice among amusement park rides the famous Superman coaster was rebranded during the offseason to be called the Bizarro who happens to be a Superman arch-villain. This rollercoaster is the crown jewel of the park and is simply the largest, fastest, most amazing coaster I've ever ridden. 10/10
Catwoman's Whip: Ok so it's probably not fair to include this "kids" ride in the rollercoaster mix, but it is technically a rollercoaster. Surprisingly entertaining for a kid coaster but nothing to really get your blood boiling. 3/10
Cyclone: This wooden rollercoaster definitely provides all the bumps and bruises that you would expect from an old wooden coaster. Nothing really outstanding to mention, but if you love rollercoasters with short lines this one definitely fits the bill. 6/10
Flashback: This fun little coaster takes you for a ride then runs you through the same short course backwards. Kind of reminds me of The Viper from back in the day at Six Flags Over Georgia. 6/10
Mind Eraser: This ride will bottom line knock the hell out of you. Your feet will dangle and it keeps you in a head harness that just doesn't quite fit right so you keep banging your ears against the "pads." Ouch. 3/10
Pandemonium: This fun little ride really kicked into gear because of the way the four person car can spin 360 degrees inside of the casing. Really adds a lot of fun to the whole experience. 8/10
Thunderbolt: So here is where I failed, and it turns out this is the one rollercoaster at the park that I didn't ride. Sorry no review on this old time wooden coaster.
Other Rides
Houdini – The Great Escape: First of all I have no idea how they spun this ride into something called Houdini (once again lots of rebranding), but what an extremely mind bending, fun experience! I won't tell you what happens because that would ruin the fun, but I couldn't stop laughing my face off at the entertaining experience. 8/10
Scream: Unlike most towers that take you all the way to the top and drop you at the speed of gravity, this one shoots you up to the top extremely fast then drops you and does it a few times really fast. Definitely worth a scream or two. 6/10
The Marketing Takeaway
So if you happened to read the news, as my buddy Paul informed me, Six Flags filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy the the day we were at the park. That really doesn't have anything to do with the marketing takeaway because the company is just filing for bankruptcy to handle the debt on the books.
Now what is interesting is how the Bizarro is practically the same ride as the Superman, and there are other rides at the park that simply get rebranded every few years. Although they aren't new rides they change the name and the theme behind it to keep them fresh and entice people to come back and visit again. This happened with the Houdini as I noticed on the license plate in the building that it was originally called the Mad House I believe. So sometimes you don't have to create brand new assets. Just rebrand the ones that you already have that are a little stale with some new paint and a fresh campaign. So although the Bizarro isn't much more than the Superman rollercoaster from last year (just with a bunch of purple paint on top of the red paint), it helped reinvigorate the fans and provide some great marketing material to entice people to visit the park.

This is the most comprehensive exhibition to date on the tradition of hardstone carving (pietre dure) that developed in Italy in the sixteenth century and subsequently spread through Europe. Renaissance masters working in Rome cut colored marbles and laid them in geometrically patterned tabletops, such as the celebrated Farnese Table in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, while Milanese artisans preferred to cut designs in rock crystal, lapis lazuli, and other precious materials. In Florence, the passion of the Medici for importing precious stones led to Ferdinando I de' Medici's founding of the court workshops that still survive as the Opificio delle Pietre Dure. Royal patronage encouraged Florentine craftsmen to migrate to Prague, and their practices gradually spread to such centers as Augsburg, Paris, Madrid, and Saint Petersburg. Some 150 tables, cabinets, caskets, jewelry, vases, and sculptures represent the range of this extraordinary art form cultivated by the courts of Europe through four centuries.
Since the Renaissance, humanists supported the view that princely magnificence was symbolized best by luxurious displays, public ceremonies, large public projects such as dynastic buildings, and assembling important art collections. Artistic objects in pietre dure—literally, "hard stones" in Italian—embodied the goals of princely patronage. The Renaissance saw the exploration of the "New World" and the dawning of scientific inquiry. Steady increase in long-distance trade brought a vast array of curious natural specimens and unknown exotic hardstones that amazed European society. The Medici's transformation of their native Florence became a prototype, reflecting the power and social achievements of a dynasty. The demanding practice of working in pietre dure, highly developed in ancient Greece and Rome, enjoyed a spectacular revival in Florence and Rome during the Renaissance and continued throughout the Baroque and Neoclassical periods.
The Medici's passion for hardstone objects led to the foundation of the legendary Galleria dei Lavori, the grand-ducal workshops, in 1588 (renamed the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, it is active in Florence to this day). Captivated by the extraordinary objects they acquired or received as diplomatic gifts, princely patrons farther north established their own lapidary manufactories, thus supporting the diffusion of the technique throughout the continent. Workshops flourished in Prague, Paris, Madrid, and Naples and at various courts of the Holy Roman Empire; in the eighteenth century became an obsession of the czars and their courtiers in Saint Petersburg.
Extravagant luxury items, furniture, and sculpture were fashioned from pietre dure. Intricately inlaid landscapes, flowers, birds, geometric patterns, and other motifs—all assembled of finely cut colored hardstone pieces—and expertly carved rare specimens of lapis lazuli, jasper, and rock crystal became treasured collectibles and diplomatic gifts. The medium was esteemed beyond most others: Philip II of Spain paid 60 to 200 ducats for paintings by Titian but owned a table ornament of rock crystal valued at 500 ducats. Since the color of hardstones changes little over the centuries, the objects in this exhibition are as vivid as when they were first created.
The exhibition is made possible by Mercedes and Sid Bass and Frank Richardson and the Honorable Kimba Wood.
Additional support is generously provided by Mr. and Mrs. J. Tomilson Hill.
The catalogue is made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Friends of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts.
Additional support is provided by the Mary C. and James W. Fosburgh Publications Fund.
Large vessels or cups were produced at the grinding mill. The grindstone wheels were often driven by waterpower or pure physical effort. In many cases it could take a group of specialized lapidary workers years to finish one object. It is remarkable that the technical aspects of the art of cutting hardstones had changed little since ancient times. Even today, traditional methods have to be used to create a pietre dure masterpiece.
After 1600 the naturalistic themes that first appeared in the sixteenth century prevailed over other subjects. Jacopo Ligozzi (d. 1627), a naturalist and a fascinating draftsman, dominated the field of Florentine mosaic. In Florence, the colors, shapes, and various shades within even a single piece of hardstone were imaginatively exploited to define images, a development that clearly sets Medici Florence apart from papal Rome. The utilization of the natural changing of colors within one stone to create illusionistic effects was highly influenced by Prague landscape compositions of the famous Castrucci family of about 1600 and dominated Florentine mosaics for the next two hundred years. Thus the ground was prepared for the masterpieces created by the Galleria under the leadership of the brilliant artist Giovanni Battista Foggini (1652–1725) and the sculptor Massimo Soldani-Benzi (1656–1740).
The ancient art of opus sectile, or "cut inlay"—the ancestor of the Italian commesso di pietre dure—was revived in Rome in the mid-sixteenth century, albeit in a new form. All the stones used for works of art decorated in this fashion were of ancient origin. Many of them came from the Baths of Caracalla, where excavations began in the 1540s, initiated by the art patron Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. There were other "harvesting" sites within Rome or in the ruins at Ostia Antica, the harbor city of imperial Rome, where the famous architect Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola went in 1547 "to get colored marbles for the [Farnese] Palace." For Renaissance artists and their high-ranking patrons, such stones represented the remnants of the opulence of ancient Rome—the capital of a vanished empire—and their reuse must have seemed to be physical proof that Rome was indeed the Eternal City. Pieces of ancient hardstones and marble were recut and assembled into sophisticated, nonfigural designs used to decorate wall revetments and tabletops. Learned humanist architects were mostly responsible for creating patterns that "literally" came down from the walls or were elevated from the pavement onto polychrome tabletops and other sumptuous furnishings. The decor would evolve—like papal Rome itself—into an ostentatious display of wealth and power during the Baroque period.
In seventeenth-century France the influential cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin were the first connoisseurs to develop a serious interest in pietre dure carvings and inlay, which they popularized at the French court, initiating a campaign to establish local workshops for hardstone objects. In 1668 Louis XIV brought lapidary craftsmen from Florence and installed them at the Royal Gobelins workshops in Paris to train French assistants. At the Gobelins manufactory, the principal artistic center for the production of decorative artifacts for the royal palaces of France, these artisans achieved an outstanding reputation, producing mosaic panels employed as tabletops and mounted into cabinets. The French crown presented these fanciful and often propagandistic objects as diplomatic gifts to foreign dignitaries, and for the glory of the realm they were displayed in the Galerie d'Apollon at the Louvre and in the state apartments of Louis XIV at Versailles alongside other prized rarities, including finely carved vases and cups.
The Medici dynasty ended with the death of its last scion, the childless grand duke Gian Gastone, in 1737. Fearing the collapse of the Galleria dei Lavori under the new Habsburg rulers, some of the masters of the workshop accepted an invitation to the court of Naples. The Royal Neapolitan workshop was established by King Charles VII of Bourbon (1716–1788). The designer Francesco Ghingi (1689–1766) headed the real laboratorio. While Giuseppe Torricelli had overshadowed his artistic skills in Florence, Ghingi and his craftsmen flourished in Naples, creating works in intaglio as well as hardstone mosaics. The workshop in Naples remained active for well over a century until the Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861.
In 1759 King Charles of Naples inherited the crown of Spain and departed from his former capital for Madrid, where he ruled as Charles III. As a monarch with a passion for pietre dure, he enlisted Italian specialists to activate a manufactory in his new country. He lured several hardstone artisans away from Florence, and, supported by local Spanish workers, these specialists established an enterprise in 1761 in the Buen Retiro palace, where it was was housed together with a porcelain factory. The workshop grew quickly and steadily: it had nineteen fully productive craftsmen by 1784 and thirty-five by 1808. The occupation of Spain by Napoleon in 1808 closed down the hardstone works in Madrid, and the site was largely destroyed in 1812 by the armies of the Duke of Wellington.
The hardstone workshops in Prague were the first true offshoots of the Galleria dei Lavori in Florence. Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II of Habsburg (1552–1612) was described by contemporaries as "the greatest art patron in the world," and at his magnificent court princely art patronage in post-Renaissance Europe was elevated to unknown heights of humanistic refinement and excessive lavishness. By about 1600, "Rudolphine Prague" had developed into Europe's third major center of hardstone refinement, after Florence and Milan. The obsession with treasury objects, including pietre dure, was about to conquer all of Europe. The value of hardstone vessels made of rock crystal or jasper far surpassed that of paintings or sculpture as embodiments of princely wealth. Celebrated bronze sculptures, such as Leone Leoni's bust of Emperor Charles V and Adrian de Vries's bust of Rudolph II, were valued at a few hundred guilders shortly after the emperor's death, whereas one single basin made of "yellow jasper" was appraised at four thousand. Because of its richness in deposits of semiprecious stones, "Bohemia became known as a land where the stones which the cowherd threw at his flock were worth much more than a single animal," as Bohuslav Balbín noted in 1679. By attracting the hardstone craftsmen of the Miseroni family from Milan and the Castruccis from Florence, Rudolph achieved a major goal: uniting a group of superior artisans who would create only the best for his Kunstkammer. The Castruccis were the first to incorporate the pure shades of a single piece of stone into mosaic inventions, thus creating the first landscapes with accurate perspective in pietre dure panels.
Stuttgart and Freiburg-im-Breisgau
Two craftsmen stood out among the stoneworkers in Stuttgart. Hans Kobenhaupt worked there for the Kunstkammer of the ducal court of the Württemberg dynasty. The workshop applied mostly German hardstones, such as jasper and agate, from deposits around Idar and Oberstein in the Palatine. It has been suggested that the creator of the mounts for Kobenhaupt's vessels was the goldsmith François Guichard, who began working at the court in Stuttgart in 1610, shortly after Kobenhaupt arrived. It seems perfectly conceivable that several pieces represent collaborations. The rock-crystal and agate cutters in Freiburg could not compete with the virtuosity of their counterparts in Milan, but they developed their own style, mainly by refining small stone units that were assembled with precious metal, thus archiving an array of impressive objects for the southern German market. As late as 1753 there were at least fourteen hundred workers directly or indirectly connected to Freiburg's lapidary industry.
Hardstone cutting had already enjoyed a long tradition in this region, albeit under modest circumstances. This situation changed dramatically with the arrival of the sculptor Christoph Labhardt, a gifted artisan at the court of Landgrave Karl I of Hessen-Kassel (1654–1730). The discovery of deposits of agate, jasper, and other semiprecious stones in the Hessen region encouraged the Landgrave to invest in a stonecutting mill, which was erected about 1680. A record of 1697 mentions the production of "cups of crystal de Montagne [rock-crystal] with carved figures, scenes, and portraits, which were not seen before" made by the "famous Labhardt."
Besides silver veins, colored gemstones were Saxony's most valuable natural resource. As early as 1575 Elector Augustus (r. 1553–86) commissioned Giovanni Maria Nosseni to undertake a systematic search for new deposits. However, it was not until February 1697, under the elector of Saxony Frederick Augustus I (Augustus the Strong), that several varieties of agate were found in the village of Halsbach, near Freiburg, in the Saxon Erzgebirge (ore mountains). Only polished samples displaying the Güthe und Schönheit (quality and beauty) of the stone were produced at a polishing mill outside Dresden. After 1708 Frederick Augustus I, who also ruled Poland-Lithuania as King Augustus II, engaged Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682–1719), the inventor of Meissen's famous porcelain, to oversee a grinding and polishing mill for Saxon gemstones, which operated from 1713 to 1715. At the same time the ingenious Johann Melchior Dinglinger (1664–1731) created masterpieces that today are part of the German national heritage at the Grünes Gewolbe and not allowed to travel, and the gifted stonecutter Johann Christoph Hübner (1665–1739) collaborated with the sculptor Paul Heerrmann modeling busts of exceptional quality. Pietre dure reached a highpoint in Saxony with the work of Johann Christian Neuber (1736–1808), whose hardstone mosaic inventions mesmerized affluent society all over Europe in the last quarter of the eighteenth century.
Always concerned with the state of his country's Exchequer, King Frederick the Great of Prussia (r. 1740–86) attempted to develop a luxury-goods industry on par with the one in France. The king ordered protectionist measures: "For the good of the Berlin gold workers . . . [we] totally forbade the import of all French gold boxes, étuis, and objets de bijou." The king's chamberlain, Michael Gabriel Fredersdorff, visited Paris in 1751 with the order to bring back a snuffbox, "the best that can be found there, so that we can find out how they are made." Frederick's mercantilist efforts eventually led to the establishment of successful manufactories of gold objects and jewelry in Berlin, and, after Augsburg and Dresden, Berlin became one of central Europe's most important centers for such artistic hardstone creations. The king also collected earlier Italian pietre dure works that he displayed in his painting gallery and his bedroom at his palace Sanssouci in Potsdam.
Suetonius (d. A.D. 122) recalled that Emperor Augustus "had his villa embellished, not only with statues and pictures but also with objects which were curious by reason of their age and rarity, like the huge remains of colossal beasts which had been discovered on the Island of Capri, called giants' bones or heroes' weapons."
Thus the taste for the utterly abnormal—for bizarre oddities such as the unusually large or the unusually small, and for extravagant shapes—was an ancient invention. The collecting of such curiosities was, however, cultivated to an extreme degree during the Renaissance. Highly appreciated were veined hardstones with naturally grotesque patterns further enhanced by a decoration reflecting the artistic virtuosity of the craftsmen. Whether the Renaissance and Mannerist objects incorporating these natural wonders (naturalia) were horrid or strikingly beautiful, they frequently were given multiple symbolic meanings. If naturalia were of exotic origins or procured with much effort and risk—possibly harvested or mined under highly dangerous circumstances from domestic or foreign soil—their material value was equal to that of the most lavish luxury items of precious metal.
In this way, the Kunst- und Wunderkammer (chamber of art and curiosities) as well as the Kunstschrank (collector's cabinet), with its "collection of collections," embodied a symbolic image of the elements, of dimensions of time and space, and mirrored the place of man in the universe through compiled microcosms that summarized the unreachable macrocosms. They represented the multifarious, chaotic, and ungraspable world in the form of an intelligible, steady, and easily memorized order within chambers or single pieces of furniture.
The czars took great pride in the ever-increasing number of hardstone deposits being newly discovered in one corner or another of their far-flung realm during the eighteenth century. In 1721 Peter the Great (r. 1682–1725) founded the first imperial Russian lapidary at Peterhof, near Saint Petersburg, and encouraged mercantilist interest in the workshop. The enterprise soon became successful, producing widely admired objects of great beauty and variety. Under the monarchs who ruled Russia from the 1730s to the 1750s, the factory established itself as one of the leading creators of luxury goods in Eastern Europe. Semiprecious stones and rare marbles were brought to Saint Petersburg from all over the empire as well as from foreign countries and were transformed into lavish works of art. Other hardstone manufactories followed in Yekaterinburg (founded 1726), located on the threshold between Europe and Asia, in the Ural Mountains. This manufactory was able to process large hardstone blocks or boulders that would have been difficult to transport across the country. Together with the Kolyvan lapidary in the remote Altai Mountains (founded 1786), all hardstone works came under the administration of Count Aleksandr Sergeievich Stroganov in 1800. Until his death in 1811, this sophisticated aristocrat revolutionized the Russian lapidary industry. As an art connoisseur of international renown, his principal goals were to raise the quality of Russian lapidary products by modernizing the grinding mills and to perfect the quality and designs of the bronze mounts that complemented the stone objects. The second important Russian hardstone dynasty was the Demidov family. In winter 1874–75, while a student in Florence, the American sculptor Daniel Chester French described the interior of the Villa San Donato, a palace of the Russian count Demidov, located near Florence. It contained numerous malachite works of art, including vases five feet high. Overwhelmed by the abundance, he added, "The Demidov Family, it seems, own all malachite mines in the world."
The undiminished importance of semiprecious hardstones led to a complex and pervasive reuse of jewels, stone panels, vessels, and other decorative objects. Because of their cultural and prestigious social context, certain pearls and stones in royal collections have been mounted and remounted for successive rulers, adapted to embellish the ever-changing necklines and regalia dictated by fashion.
An enormous quantity of pietre dure panels decorating "old and useless" furniture from the various palaces of the French royal collection swept through the Parisian art market into the public domain. Four auctions at the Palais des Tuileries held between 1741 and 1752 dispersed much of the opulent and colossal Baroque furnishings of Louis XIV, which had become unpopular compared to the graceful lightness of Rococo designs. While many of these pieces were dismantled and their valuable materials salvaged, their pietre dure units were kept and continuously appreciated. With the dawn of Neoclassicism in the 1760s, the pierre fines (fine stones) regained their position as aristocratic status symbols. In all variations, whether in vessels complemented by gilded mounts or fashionable small center tables, hardstones embodied the newest fashion of the ancien régime before the Revolution. Elaborate Florentine hardstone panels, particularly the decorative fruit and floral reliefs made in the seventeenth century at Gobelins, were treated like relics of a glorious era long gone. Under the supervision of the marchands-merciers (dealers), they were set into some of the most sumptuous and stylish furniture creations ever made, by the most elite French cabinetmakers.

and Toast Mount Prospect's Incorporation
at the Sixth Annual "History in the Headlines" Dinner
Reservations are now being accepted for "Toast our New Town," the sixth annual History in the Headlines dinner, sponsored by the Mount Prospect Historical Society. This spectacular Centennial-themed event will be held at Rob Roy Country Club, 505 E. Camp McDonald Rd., Prospect Heights, on Saturday evening, April 22.
When Mount Prospect was incorporated by a vote of 63 to 12 on Feb. 3, 1917, World War I was raging across the Atlantic. But with the United States not yet involved, the Germans in Mount Prospect were still speaking a mixture of German and English and continued to cling to their Old Country traditions when it came to worship, education and thriftiness, according to Lindsay Rice, executive director of the Society.
This year the Mount Prospect Historical Society will re-imagine the rather modest, German-style celebrations that probably took place in local establishments following the incorporation of Mount Prospect 100 years ago.
As with the Society's five previous History in the Headlines dinners, patrons can choose from two meal options. The $30 "Wille's Tavern" buffet meal will feature sausages, Chicken Limone, German potato salad, bread and vegetable medley. Those who wish to dine more elegantly can choose the $75 "Wille's Hall" dinner featuring a glass of wine, soup, bread, sliced beef with sauerbraten sauce on the side, buttered noodles and green bean almondine. There will be dessert and a cash bar for everyone with signature cocktails of the era offered.
Party-goers, who are invited to dress casually or elegantly and even to wear clothing of 1917, will be entertained after dinner by "Suffragette Alice Paul," played by living history actress Leslie Goddard.
"Alice Paul was the organizer of the first picketing demonstrations ever held outside the White House. She spearheaded parades, lobbied politicians and endured imprisonment for women's rights. A fearless and innovative pioneer, she remains an icon in the struggle for justice and equal rights," says Goddard.
The fight for a woman's right to vote was very active in the United States when Mount Prospect was incorporated. In Illinois at that time women were only permitted to vote in elections that involved schools. Local women voted in 1914 to establish High School District 214, but three years later, they still were excluded by state law from the vote to incorporate Mount Prospect.
There will also be a challenging Mount Prospect trivia competition during Ms. Paul's intermission, and a raffle.
Tickets are limited and may be reserved individually or in tables of ten. For more information or to purchase tickets via PayPal. You may also phone 847/392-9006, Tuesday through Thursday during office hours, to reserve tickets and pay by credit card.
All of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Mount Prospect Historical Society's Operating Fund.

WELL-BEING as:
physical, mental & emotional HEALTH
(Generic policy term today)
HEALTH as:
physical, mental & social WELL-BEING
(from WHO definition of Health, 1948)
WELL-BEING as beyond medical: to achievement.
But how is SOCIAL being replaced by EMOTIONAL?
('HYVINVOINTI': Welfare/Well-being as same?)
English dictionaries:
Both as 'good health, happiness & prosperity'
Welfare: external provision of care/money
Well-being: independent means of support
'Well-being' = Laughter: a desired social condition
'Welfare' = Misery: for those not doing 'well'
'The Bull's Eye' (1872) by Gustave Doré.
Local Government Act 2000
(extended to Local Councils in 2009)
'Well-being power'
(via required 'Community Strategies').
"To promote or improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of their area..."
Social model recognising role of socio-economic disadvantage in individual experiences of physical/mental health
Requires Children's Services to promote the well-being of children (under 18 yr olds) via local statutory partnerships
'Well-being' relates to:
Physical and mental health and emotional well-being
Protection from harm and neglect
Education, training and recreation
The contribution made by them to society
Social and economic well-being
Reflects five desired outcomes of the 2003 Youth Strategy
BEING HEALTHY: enjoying good physical health and emotional well-being
STAYING SAFE: being protected from harm and neglect
ENJOYING & ACHIEVING: getting the most out of life and developing the skills for adulthood
MAKING A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION: being involved in the community and society and not engaging in anti-social or offending behaviour
ECONOMIC WELL-BEING: not being prevented by economic disadvantage from achieving their full potential in life.
The unfit teenager: over-weight, indoors, junk food.
Risky behaviour: sexual activity, drug use, binge drinking.
The anxious teenager: pressure to perform/get good job.
Narrates a general decline in young people's well-being
Depression, eating disorders, addiction, self-harm, street violence – as seemingly endemic
Important to understand because:
Influences & impacts on young people's perceptions of themselves and their behaviour.
As well as policy makers and practitioners over their health and behaviour.
Healthism: Well-being as gendered
Young women's mediated pursuit of 'fit' & 'thin'
Disadvantage: Well-being as a class issue
Ill-health in areas of disadvantage affects achievement
Mental Health: gender and ethnicty
Young men's conduct disorder & suicide rates
Young black men suffer institutional/individual racism
Mental Health Foundation 1999
'Positive factors' in reducing health risks:
Good communication skills... Sense of humour... Religious faith... Ability to reflect... At least one good parent-child relationship... Affection... Peaceful family environment... Appropriate and consistent discipline... Family support of education... Community support networks... Good housing... High standard of living... Sports and leisure activities... High morale in school (with a safe and disciplined environment alongside academic and vocational opportunities...) ... ... ...
Emphasis on personal skills or social environment
depends on political priorities of government
Prioritise tackling child
Poverty. Provide access to
education & employment
Reduce state spending
to encourage personal
competitive market skills
The neo-liberal 'healthy teenager ' model
favours individualist over welfarist approaches
Emotionality (in schools programmes since 1990s):
Cultivation of emotively competent 'self' optimises ability to achieve and contribute.
But risks individualising problem, away from social level.
Spirituality (Faith-based welfare initiatives since 1990s):
Powerful resource for people with mental health needs, promenant in multicultural societies for depression.
But can deny importance of healthy scepticism in adolesence
What of illiberal attitudes in some religions?
More conducive to passive consumer than political citizen?
Individualist interpretations of 'well-being' contribute to a neo-liberal discourse of self-determination and responsibility.
This overlooks complex social power relations that shape they way young people are positioned and feel about themselves in society.
Be careful not to allow the term 'well-being' to negatively and selectively redefine the term 'welfare' as a problem in favour of individualism.
Be critical: challenge the social structures that selectively prevent the well-being of some sections of society more than others.
Politically campaign for social and institutional reforms to allow the promotion of well-being as both social prosperity and social justice.
Beware the constraints of neo-liberalism on the pursuit of social well-being.
Aim of the Scout Movmenent:
'The mental, physical and spiritual development of young people.'
Emphasis on self-reliance, personal achievement, community contribution.
Back to Edwardian Britain and concerns over young people, gangs and the future?

5/2 99¢ "Olivia" by Donna Sturgeon
Olivia Hanson has spent most of her twenty-five years staring wistfully across the tracks to the north side of town, longing for a white picket fence and normal—something she's never known. Born in a prison and abandoned by her mother, Olivia was raised in South Juliette by her father, Eugene—a knee-bouncing, chain-smoking loner with a Cheeze Doodle addiction. Olivia drinks too much, loses her heart too easily, and works in a factory as quality control, a mundane job she'd sworn would only be temporary, not the permanent drudgery it has become. Her only joy in life comes in the form of late-night slow dances with hot bartender, George, who can set her body on fire with his kisses but is unwilling to go any further.
The day Olivia accidentally backs her Buick into a black Dodge pickup, she tumbles head-over-heels into what she believes is the happily-ever-after kind of love she has been longing for. But the road to happiness is not as easy as it looks. It's a long, winding journey of self-discovery full of potholes, pregnancy tests, lobster tattoos, Walmart scooters, impromptu weddings, hump-happy Boston terriers, and a sexy, but oh-so-annoying police officer who pops up around every curve.

I have been searching high and low, but can't seem to find a form plug-in for wordpress that does the following:
The user selects from a series of drop down menus that change depending on the options that are selected, and ultimately displays a specific page based on the selections.
For example: The user selects their Country from the first drop-down, then based on that, the cities for this country are displayed on the second drop-down, and based on this, the specific city page is displayed.

On another note, today we had an R.E conference on abortion. It was all very heated and brought to light a few things. Did you know that a feotus has a heartbeat at 4 weeks, yet legally you can have an abortion at anytime prior to 24 weeks? It's a nasty thought, still, even though I am more pro-life than pro-choice I have to admit it would be really difficult to keep a child at the tender age of 17... Sorry about going all deep on you but I feel it's a topic we generally put to the side when we shouldn't. I mean do you agree with the law that the father doesn't even have the right to be TOLD about the baby? Or that disabled babies can be aborted after birth? It's shocking. So in essence, it would be cool if you read up about it, just to see how messed up some of the abortion laws are.
One of my closest friends, Balley (or Becky formally) actually raises similarly heated topics on her blog. She's really analytic -just like me- so her posts are always well thought out and generally, a really good read. You should definitely check her out!
