Darklady's Confessional
Snapshots from the Folsom Street Fair
I am fearless behind a camera. Things change once I get in front of one, however. Recently I had the chance to be both fearless and whatever it is that I become when the baleful gaze of someone else's shuttered eye is turned upon my trembling form.
It all started in late September when I decided to attend the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. So many things start during the Folsom Street Fair. It had been five years since my last visit to the lovable freak show that is my favorite leather queer family reunion and I was keen to play the shutterbug again – to find people more visibly transgressive than myself and burn the memory of them into my mind like a brand via the magic that is film and digital technology.
But before I could do this, I was a subject for photographer Michael Rosen (http://www.michaelrosen.com) to interpret and immortalize. I had long admired Michael's work and how he uses it to communicate a glorious spectrum of human sensual diversity. When the Ladies of Liberty had decided that a photo of me wrapped in an American flag was too potentially offensive for their fundraising calendar, I had decided that it was time to pose for a variety of daring photographers. Michael was on the list and amenable to the idea. He wanted to photograph a dominant Darklady complete with whip and Toppish attitude. Naturally, I arrived at his studio in sneakers, ankle socks, shorts, and a punky Hello Kitty t-shirt. This so tickled Michael, who likes to fuck gently with preconceived ideas, that our shoot was strangely whimsical and featured an unexpected degree of naughty tomboy schoolgirl charm and sass.
The next day I packed my petite APS camera into an adorably Goth shoulder purse that I'd decided would work as a camera bag and headed off to join the herd of perverts desperately hoping to bring back wild photo souvenirs from the street fair. All around me were leather daddies and biker dykes, piss play enthusiasts and clown sex practitioners, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and drag queen dominatrixes, uniforms and Utilikilts, tight-laced corsets and fetishy stockings.
When I'm the power behind the Kodachrome I seek quintessential, spontaneous moments. Like Charles Gatewood (http://www.charlesgatewood.com), who excels in capturing naturally occurring social and sexual contrasts and dichotomies, I like the gritty energy contained in candid images, particularly those to be found in group dynamic settings like orgies, street fairs, dungeon parties, porn sets, and people's homes. I seek evidence that humans can still trust – whether that be me as photographer or one another as lovers, play partners, or companions.
Shortly after I returned home, my Long Lost High School Sweetheart and I got to explore our own capacity to trust when we welcomed Bay Area photographer David Steinberg into our home during his Photo Sex (http://mchester.best.vwh.net/ps.html) promo tour. While another couple stood and watched (and fucked), my darling convivant and I did our best to filter out the quiet and respectful man with the camera that rushed around our king sized bed snapping pictures as we nakedly shared our passion and love for one another. It would be untrue to say we were fearless – but our trembling forms definitely quivered with more than just apprehension and performance anxiety. There is nothing so effective at making one appreciate the courage of a model than taking on the role. Like love and shared delight, practice makes for greater comfort and skill – and a taste of fear only makes them more intense and profound. So bring it on, cuz I'm ready for my close up, Mr. DeMille.

Boho Chic...
Good morning everyone hope you've all had a lovely weekend :o) Well I have finally managed to sort out my craft area (what was our dining room) lol and its starting to look organised, not promising it will stay that way for long though.
Before I started that I made this card using one of the digi downloads that I've just got from Saturated Canary
To make this card I have used a white scalloped 6"x 6" card, First Edition Papers Boho Pad (these papers are just stunning, I love them) Bazzill Basics, olive green organza ribbon and silver bag charm all of which are available from That Craft Place as are the Mulberry roses and blooms and the whimsy stamped sentiment.
the sequins and pearls were from my own little crafty stash
To colour this image I have used my promarkers and flexmarkers in the following colours
skin:- dusky pink, blush and rose pink
hair:- burnt umber,cinnamon, terracotta and satin
dress:- marsh green, apple cider and pear green
boots:- tan and cocoa
and I've added a touch of glaze to her lips, eyes and the buttons on her boots
I have also added a touch of ranger stickles in frosted lace to the blooms and the edges of the mats. I really think its time I bought myself a better camera because believe me these pictures don't do these papers any justice :o( never mind maybe santa claus will bring me one for christmas if I'm a good girl lol.
I'm off now to undo all the hard work of the last couple of days lol and start my DT card for our next challenge over at That Craft Place Blog
I hope you like this card and it would be lovely to hear your comments
this card has been entered into the following challenge my craft creations

Abstract—In this paper, we present a spatiotemporal communication protocol for sensor networks, called SPEED. SPEED is specifically tailored to be a localized algorithm with minimal control overhead. End-to-end soft real-time communication is achieved by maintaining a desired delivery speed across the sensor network through a novel combination of feedback control and nondeterministic geographic forwarding. SPEED is a highly efficient and scalable protocol for sensor networks where the resources of each node are scarce. Theoretical analysis, simulation experiments, and a real implementation on Berkeley motes are provided to validate the claims.

Wireless sensor networks, routing, real-time, spatiotemporal, geographic forwarding.

Date: May 2012
Type: Interactive Pre-Roll
Client: Veet
Role: Project Lead, UI, Motion Graphics, Compositing
Veet is a brand under the Reckitt Benckiser umbrella and one of the 7 worldwide brands I personally serviced in 2012. At this time, there was very little focus and budget given to online video by the brand teams at RB. Almost all the pre-roll ads we produced were "retrofit" and had very simple, quick to produce interactions. Typically we were building 3 - 5 interactive ads a week between our 10 person team and these ads had to be coordinated and reproduced for 15-20 different countries depending on the brand.
This ad stands out from that period not because of it's astounding experience but because with this ad I fought hard with Havas Worldwide (their name at the time was Euro RSCG) to get extra assets beyond the original ad, a rarity at the time. In this case, original and extended rushes of the female character throwing clothes from her wardrobe, so that I could create a longer sequence for users to interact with. This was a significant chip in wearing down the political barriers between Telemetry Studios and Euro RSCG to get greater recognition and collaboration.
For this production, I lead the concepting of the interaction, designed and made all of the UI visual elements and then oversaw the coding team to ensure the right feeling of the final product.

We live in Cleveland and love having our 'home way from home' cabin just a couple of hours away. We spend as much of our free time in nature as a family as we can. We are exercise enthusiasts and love to read as well. We share our cabin with friends and family and we want to open it up to others who want a great chance to 'check out' and relax or have a base for lots of activity.

Canberra, Feb 24: Explosive West Indian opening batsman Chris Gayle became the first batsman in the history of World Cup cricket to score a double hundred. Chris Gayle scored 215 off 147 balls (10 fours, 16 sixes) against Zimbabwe at Manuka Oval in Canberra before getting caught in the final delivery of the innings. He also put up 372-run partnership for the second wicket, the highest for any wicket in one-day cricket. West Indies ended at 372/2 in 50 overs against a hapless Zimbabwean attack.
World Cup Special; Scorecard; World Cup: List of records broken by Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle broke Vivian Richards's 181, which had been the highest score by a West Indian in World Cup cricket so far. Richards had scored the runs against Sri Lanka at Karachi in the 1987 World Cup.
Gayle also eclipsed former South African opener Gary Kirsten's score of 188 not out posted against the United Arab Emirates at Rawalpindi in 1996. It was the highest in World Cup cricket before Gayle's double century.

French journalist, art critic, historian and novelist Gustave Geffroy described Mary Cassatt, along with Marie Bracquemond and Berthe Morisot, as "les trois grandes dames" of Impressionism in 1894. Although Cassatt was born in Pennsylvania, she lived most of her life in France. An Impressionist painter, Cassatt's themes were mostly on the social and private lives of women, particularly focusing on the intimate bond between a mother and child.
Born on May 22, 1844 to Robert Simpson Cassatt (a stockbroker and land speculator) and Katherine Kelso (from a banking family), Mary Cassatt lived the life of an upper middle-class family. Her father is a descendant of Jacques Cossart, a French Huguenot who came to New Amsterdam in 1662. Her mother, who was very well read, had a large impact on Mary's life.
Cassatt is one of seven children and her life consisted of frequent travels. She had traveled to several well-known European cities, including Berlin, London and Paris. It is during these travels that she was exposed to French artists. Although her parents didn't want her to pursue a career in the arts, Cassatt persisted.
Needless to say, Cassatt led an interesting life and here are some fascinating facts about her.
1. She Studied Painting Despite Objections From Her Parents
It is believed that the concern of Cassatt's parents were her exposure to feminist ideas and the bohemian behavior of male students. Cassatt studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where 20% of the population were female. Although they viewed art as a skill that is socially valuable, only a few of them wanted to pursue a career as an artist.
2. She Decided To Study The Old Masters On Her Own
Cassatt became frustrated with the pace of instruction at the academy and was also impatient regarding the patronizing attitudes of male students and teachers. According to Cassatt, "There was no teaching" at the academy and females couldn't use live models and training mostly involved drawing from casts. She ended her studies and moved to Paris despite objections from her father.
3. She Studied Privately With Jean-Léon Gérôme
Females couldn't yet attend the École des Beaux-Arts and as such, Cassatt applied to get private lessons with masters from the school. Jean-Léon Gérôme, known for his hyper-realistic technique and exotic subjects, accepted to be her teacher.
4. She Copied Art At The Louvre
Apart from her lessons with Gérôme, Cassatt did copying work at the Louvre. A lot of women painted copies of works for sale. The museum was also a place were Frenchmen and American female students can socialize as they weren't allowed in cafes that catered to the avant-garde.
5. She Was One Of Two American Women To Exhibit At The Paris Salon
Cassatt, together with her friend Elizabeth Jane Gardner, became the first two American women to exhibit at the Salon. The work that was accepted was A Mandoline Player, which is one of two paintings from Cassatt's early painting years that remain.
6. She Wanted To Give Up Art
As the Franco-Prussian War was starting in the late summer of 1870, Cassatt returned to the United States. She stayed in Altoona with her family and though she was able to put two of her paintings in a New York gallery, they didn't have buyers. She was also frustrated at the lack of paintings to study at home.
Her frustration reached the maximum level as she decided to quit art. In a letter to a friend dated July 1871 she says: "I have given up my studio & torn up my father's portrait, & have not touched a brush for six weeks nor ever will again until I see some prospect of getting back to Europe. I am very anxious to go out west next fall & get some employment, but I have not yet decided where."
She decided to try her luck in Chicago but some of her paintings were lost in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Her work attracted the archbishop of Pittsburgh who asked her to paint copies of works done by Coreggio in Parma, Italy. The advance was big enough to cover travel expenses and part of her stay. Together with fellow artist Emily Sartain, Cassatt set out for Europe once more.
7. She Experienced a Low Point On Her Return To Paris
After completing her job for the archbishop, Cassatt traveled to Madrid and Seville and produced paintings of Spanish subjects. By 1874, she decided to stay in France but she grew increasingly frustrated with the Salon's stance on female artists. Even her relationship with Sartain broke down as the latter described her as outspoken and self-centered.
Cassatt decided to paint more fashionable subjects to get American socialites living abroad to commission paintings from her. However, that didn't amount to anything. Two of her entries for the Salon were rejected in 1877 and for the first time in many years, she had no works displayed at the Salon.
During this low point in her career, she was invited by Edgar Degas to show her work to the Impressionists, a group whose works varied in subject matter and technique. Cassatt felt comfortable with the Impressionists and started preparing for their next show.
8. She Was Much Influenced By Edgar Degas
Cassatt was an admirer of Degas', particularly his use of pastels. Upon seeing his pastels at an art dealer's window in 1875, she said: "I used to go and flatten my nose against that window and absorb all I could of his art."
Degas and Cassatt were both experimental in their use of materials. Over time, Cassatt also became proficient in her use of pastels, eventually making it the medium in which most her works were done.
9. She Experimented With Other Techniques Later In Life
Cassatt didn't identify herself with any art movement after 1886. From that point forward, she tried out different techniques. She concentrated on mother-and-child subjects after 1900.
Mary Cassatt's Legacy
Her paintings have sold as much as $4 million for In the Box which sold at Christie's, New York. Her painting, The Boating Party, was reproduced on a US postage stamp in 1966. Four other paintings of hers were reproduced as part of the American Treasures series.

This has given access to all the games files, including models, textures and sound. So beyond giving access to the likes of Lisa, Norman's model, the Fetus and of course the Hallway, we also have gotten a look at a few models that weren't actually in the game (to us, anyways). Users over on the Facepunch forums are currently compiling the models and porting them over to Source, and others have already moded them into MGSV: The Phantom Pain.
This is of course super interesting for fans of P.T. but it also has me wondering if this means ALL PS4 titles can be datamined now.
Turn me around and snap my neck if old, search turned up nothing.

Sandy shutters Wall Street for two days
Credit: Richard Drew
Hurricane Sandy has brought Wall Street to a standstill.
Frightful weather bearing down on the East Coast forced U.S. stock exchanges to close yesterday and today.
NYSE Euronext said it will close today in coordination with other U.S. markets, but intends to reopen tomorrow, weather permitting.
Yesterday, the New York Stock Exchange initially planned to close its physical trading floor only, but changed course as Sandy closed in on the Big Apple.

This cool professional office pen has a secret revealed after dark. The grey acrylic features white, black and even a few red flecks, looking like polished granite. But when you turn out the lights it glows in bright neon green.
This fine handcrafted pen will make a great gift. It's thicker and heavier than an average pen, sturdy and substantial to hold. The premium Parker ballpoint nib glides over paper. This pen is a joy to use.
The acrylic body was turned by hand on a lathe, cut and sanded up to 800 grit before receiving a polish coat. It has a very subtle curve and is comfortably sturdy in the hand. Expose it to light for a few minutes and watch it glow when you flick off the lights.
The setting is stunning gun metal with 24k gold accents. The ink cartridge extends with a turn of the body to write smoothly in black ink. Since the ink cartridge is easily replaceable, this stunning handcrafted pen is sure to be cherished for years to come.
I named this pen "Area 51" because by day it looks like stone but has a hidden secret!
Add "Area 51" to your cart today as an incredible gift or as a special treat for yourself!

Annie and I have been sistas in our neighborhood Bible study, we've been Bible study leaders in the women's ministry of our church, we are neighbors, and most of all we are sistas! (Alternate spelling of sisters and sistahs.)
Last year, Annie invited my hubby & me to her hubby's birthday party at the club. Don was not able to attend so I went solo and stepped into my kind of party: loads of (Annie & Ron's) family members were there to celebrate, there was great food, lots of laughter, and MUSIC with a DJ!!! Whoo hoo! I wasn't about to sit still for a moment when that music started! No way, and Annie knew that was going to happen because sometimes I dance on the golf course and often during Bible study.
But at the party Annie & her sisters saw for themselves the reason people have suggested that I might be part black. Yes, I was on the dance floor with the sistas feeling quite 'at home' and for some reason I am able to dance with the beat. I think it was when I did the "robot" and the "moonwalk" that my cover was blown.
Annie calls me her "Homie" and I am so flattered. Truly.
Annie is a prayer warrior, a very powerful prayer warrior. Being her friend and sista has encouraged me to be more thankful....when she prays she is often saying "Hallelujah, Hallelujah" just to celebrate God in her prayers. Yes, she's my sista and she's a wise one, too.
I had to tell her that in my past people have asked me if I have black family members and she laughed. I told her maybe she's really white and she laughs some more...and said to me one day, "No I think it's the opposite!" I said, "Huh?" She said, "You think you're white!!!!" We both roared with laughter at that one.
I have always loved to listen to music that had a strong beat and the louder the better! If I'm not dancing to it then a part of my body is rocking to the beat--it could be my big toe, my head, or my hands but something is moving whenever I hear music. Even during the praise & worship time at church I'm moving when the full orchestra cranks up and the 250+member choir starts to sing! I love reasons to celebrate and God is the best reason I know!
During the worship service when I'm rockin' and rollin', my close friend and sista, Donna, --who's often sits next to me during the service (and is pictured here) -- just shakes her head and smiles because she knows me...and it's ok that I'm not able to 'keep a low profile'. It's ok with her because she's another one of my sistas. Sistas have the grace of God and we "know things" that God has taught us. Things like unconditional love and grace and other cool and supernatural things like that.
That's what sistas do.
All you sistas out there...check out the words to a classic song with a very important message that is Bible-based. And as I am typing out the lyrics you better believe I'm playing the CD on my computer. And no, I'm not sitting still as I type either! :)
Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers
Everyone can see we're together
We are family
Living life is fun and we've just begun
We are family
We are family I got all my sisters with me..
p.s. Don't be surprised if you hear this song playing at the next That Girl's Lunch on Aug. 13!!!!

Multi-sensory therapy
We use a combination of light, sound, touch and smell, both in the hospice and the family home (where possible) to provide a sensory experience as therapy for stimulation and /or relaxation purposes. The service is available to babies, children and young people aged 0 – 18 years. Family members, in particular siblings, also use the space to relax and recharge
How does this work?
Each of our three hospices has a special multi-sensory room which features a range of varied optical, acoustic, olfactory and tactile stimuli including:
- Colour bubble tubes
- Flexible coloured fibre optics
- Music equipment adaptable for all ages
- UV Lighting
- Colours – using the effects on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being
- Projection equipment
- Water beds
In addition, the hospices have mobile multi-sensory units that can be brought to a child, either in their bedroom or another part of the hospice; and a range of multisensory toys and aids that can be used in a family home.
The facility and aids are used appropriately with each individual child by care staff and trained befrienders to create the appropriate environment and multi-sensory experience; either stimulating or relaxing a child, depending on their need.
How does sensory therapy benefit a baby, child or young person?
Multi-sensory therapy offers individuals with cognitive and sensory impairments and other challenging conditions the opportunity to enjoy and control a variety of sensory experiences. Multi-sensory therapy can open up a whole new world for individuals with cognitive and sensory impairments. It can generate a relaxing and calming effect, but can also provide stimulation.
Other benefits of multi-sensory therapy include:
- Provides an environment and opportunities for learning
- Increases concentration and focuses attention
- Develops or reactivates senses of hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste
- Heightens awareness and improve alertness
- Improves coordination and motor development
- Promotes cognitive development by increased brain function
- Leads participants to explore their environment
- Provides security
- Provides an unrestrained atmosphere where participants feel able to enjoy themselves
- Improves creativity
- Stimulates the sensory building blocks
- Develops a sense of cause and effect
- Develops language with more vocalisation
- Promotes social interactions
- Promotes mental and physical relaxation with stress levels dropping
- Aids relaxation, resulting in more calmness and lower aggressive behaviours
- Increases opportunity for choice and self-determination
- Improves communication and sharing
- Leads to non-responsive patients becoming communicative
- Provides relief from pain and painful physiotherapy

product was everything as described. Easy to install. Fits good and great quality.From purchasing thru AutoAnything to receipt, super easy.
Reviewed By Thomas S (Needles, CA) —7/18/2008 2:51 PM
The cover I purchased is for an F-250 crew cab. I own an F-150 crew cab. I bought this cover because Covercraft doesn't make a Cab Cooler for the F-150 crew cab. The cover is a bit large but acceptable for my truck. I prefer the flannel cover for sun protection because it does not turn into a fine dust as it ages. The non-woven fabrics all seem to have this problem. This cover fabric is heavy & does a fine job of blocking the sun here in Needles, Ca.

This is my W.I.P v1 of LOTRO 3D Migoto fix for Win10, it should still work for Win 7 too.. I am using v1.2.56 of Migoto 32bit, it does work rather well..
Now, Frst off I am not sure if a Profile Switch is needed but I had a Unique problem with nThusim, LOTRO and Migoto being able to start..
I would first test without switching the Profile, but if you do need to use one I used Alien:Isolation..'
You can set the other graphics setting to your liking and as high as they can go on your PC.. The Following could be either On or Off, you will have to decide as another user no problems with them ON..
But be sure to turn OFF Post Processing..
1. High Quality Lighting : OFF
2. Specular Lighting : OFF
3. DX10 Distant Landscape Lighting : OFF
4. 3D Portrait : OFF
5. Refresh Rate : Auto
I also added a Hotkey to Toggle the HUD UI. There are 4 Presets and can be Toggled with the
Minus key on the Numpad keys, "-", this should be universal for all Keyboards worldwide. If you have issues toggling the HUD Please Let me know..
here is the Download link to v1.0.7:
v1.0.7 LOTRO 3D Fix.7z
UPDATE: 1.6.1= Small update to Sky in Angmar night, Nameplates over Stable master. Plus a few other minor fixes..
UPDATE: 1.6.2, I removed the Zero separation for the Toggle so now there should always be a 3D effect always on which can still be toggled..
now mainly what was Broke is the Day and Night Sky along with the clouds and Stars.. The HUD and UI was also broke but it is available with preset toggle function to set to depth.
Hopefully all these are fixed now but if you notice any problem with any of the above Please leave a note here..
EDIT v1.6: I double checked the fixes on the clouds and redid them all.. there were a few that had the old code and were still broke.. I think for sure now all the clouds are fixed right I hope. if you see any clouds that are broke please let me know where you saw them on the map like Gondor or wherever and possibly what kind of clouds (Storm or Day/night Clouds)
I also have a fix for the Cursor.. Now the bad news it involves a Payware Program called Cursor Node.. I used Cursor Node to eliminate the Ingame cursor and set a hotkey to turn it on and off when needed..
NOTE: Now you do NOT need to get this program if you can live with the Original mouse cursor being there on top of another cursor being there.. One Cursor will be Stereoscopic the other will be 2D (The Original).
Link to Cursor Node PAYWARE Program..
I also used a LOTRO Addon Called: Mouse Cursor Highlighter Advanced by Fortunis (of Laurelin) Slightly Modded by me. here is a link to this Addon:
Link to Addon MCHA
You can use LOTRO Plugin Compendium to install the Addons in LOTRO. you can Download it here:
LOTRO Plugin Compendium
Now, to put it all together we will be modifying some files but no sweat should be pretty simple to do..
Once you Download all the items here there are 3 Downloads.. Firstly Install Cursor Node (But ONLY if you Paid for it and want to use it PLEASE READ the note above)
Then Install LOTRO Plugin Compendium this will allow you to install MCHA.. OK Now lets configure the MCHA so it uses the 3 Software cursors I made up..
Download the following Zip file. it will have 1 Folder and 2 Files when unzipped.. You will be Unzipping it too this Location which is in MY DOCUMENTS
"Documents/The Lord of the Rings Online/Plugins/Fortunis/MCHA"
Here is the ZIP File:
3DMigoto Mouse Fix.7z
Unzip it too the specified location above and overwite the Folder "Images", "Main.Lua and "OptionsWindows.Lua".. this will put in the required mouse cursors we will use and sets the Main Lua to use the 3 tga files..
You have 3 Mouse pointers to choose from. To bring up the MHCA Menu in game goto the Chat box and type "/MHCA" without the Quotes and it will bring up the menu.. There are a few options there where you can choose the zize color and such..
To Pick between the 3 Mouse cursurs select Mouse Cursor Select in the MHCA Menu and there should be 3 cursors too choose from..
Now let's install Cursor Node (This is Optional) Once you install it run the Program.. You will notice the TABS up at the Top Select "Cursor"
Now select the Cursor you want to use which will be "DOT" by Default I think it is on Arrow there is a dropdown menu to use..
Once you chose DOT goto the slider and move it all the way to the left.. Now on the Top Tabs goto HotKey select your Hotkey Combo there which will turn off the ingame mouse cursor.. I used "SHIFT" & "CTRL"..
EDIT: there maybe some Broken Sky/clouds still. I will need to play one day and go through the rest of the skies.. Also on Some menus the mouse pointer is not entirely accurate. I don't think I can fix this but for the most part the new mouse cursor is pretty accurate..
I hope you enjoy the fix.

Email Crosby
A true architectural connoisseur and rigorous aesthete, Crosby Doe is recognized for his curatorial approach to modern architecture. He has helped such notables as Joel Silver and power couple Mitch Glazer and Kelley Lynch secure their dream architectural homes, and he offers valuable and treasured counsel that continues after the sale: Doe provides homeowners with original drawings, background and books on the property as well as advice on maintaining its architectural integrity. By doing so, he is helping to preserve Southern California's architectural heritage.
As a California native, Doe developed an appreciation for that legacy early on while growing up amongst the Arts & Crafts masterpieces of Pasadena. He began his career in real estate in 1973 and, in a serendipitous turn, a Neutra was the first significant property he sold. The house helped inspire his vision of architectural real estate as a special market, a niche he went on to pioneer along with partner David Mossler.
Called an "uber-agent for architectural homes", and respected as a historian of the state's most important properties, Doe has represented such iconic homes as: The Reiner-Burchill Residence (Silvertop), John Lautner; The Storer House, Frank Lloyd Wright; The Navarro House, Lloyd Wright; The Carling House, John Lautner; The Struckus House, Bruce Goff; The Shell House, Wallace Neff; The Singleton House, Richard Neutra, as well as other architectural residences created by Ray Kappe, Morphosis Architecture, Rodney Walker, Rudolph Schindler, Buff & Hensman, Cliff May, and many others.
First offering: The DeVault Residence, 1958, Herbert Kameon, AIA. The tenets of Organic Architecture as espoused by Wright and Harris are strictly adhered to in what is reputed to be Herbert Kameon's first residential commission.
While not widely known by the general public, Skinner has made significant contributions to the architectural fabric of Trousdale Estates, and Coldwater Canyon where he lived for many years building his designs.
Honored with the only solo exhibition of an architect's work at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Schindler is internationally recognized as one of the most important Southern California architects of the 20th Century.
First offering: the Donald and Helen Olsen House, 1954 - the architect's own home! Listed on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places, and a City of Berkeley Historic Landmark, the Olson House presents a striking counterpoint to the more familiar Bay Area Modern Style.
First Offering! The Alexander House, 1951, by architect John Lautner, FAIA. With several distinct iterations, drawings of the Alexander House at the Getty Research Library attest to a strong dialog between the client and architect.
A Rare 19th century Creole great house standing on 8-1/2 acres in St Lucia. This stately and gracious Island residence is set within a lush and vibrant park-like nature preserve overlooking Castries Harbor.
A north-facing hillside presents a special challenge. At the Spanner Residence (1968) mid-century master architect Rex Lotery, F.A.I.A. developed a solution in which light and space are gloriously one.
The Adelman Residence, 1956, designed by O'Neil Ford, FAIA (once noted as the best unknown architect in America) & U.S.C. architect Thornton Abell, FAIA.
The sculpted, stainless steel door, a work of art on its own, pivots on its axis, inviting guests into this 5200-square-foot, concrete, steel and glass Ray Kappe designed house on Manhattan Beach's world-famous Strand, inches from the sand and sea.
First offering since 1948: The historic Alfred Newman Estate with original residence by architect Lloyd Wright. Here, contiguous to Rustic Creek, this astonishing 2.6 plus acre property with a natural spring for irrigation sweeps.
Silvertop is to Los Angeles' residential architecture as Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal is to New York City. Beyond function, both are beacons projecting the peak of America's optimism, and the creative strength of a period grounded in a strong faith in future possibility.
Historic Libby Ranch, 1923. Wallace Neff, architect, with later alterations and outbuildings by Austen Pierpont. The romance of the Arbolada is alive and well at Libby Ranch.
The Ford Hacienda is celebrated not only as a triumphant example of the Spanish Colonial Tradition in architectural design, but perhaps more importantly as a timeless environment for living a lifestyle idealized by the California plein air painters of the
Quoting Sally Woodbridge from her book on the California houses of the Historic American Buildings Survey: "Of all the architects who perceived the Edenic possibilities of California, none capitalized on them with more sensitivity and assurance than Frank Lloyd Wright."
First Offering: The Cy Howard Estate. 1951. The rustic wooden gate protecting this two plus acre Holmby Hills property tells the story.
The Singleton Residence by Richard Neutra. The long gated private drive winds its way across the meadow, and through Eucalypti to a remarkable park-like garden site on the ridge top.
The romance of the Arbolada is alive and well at Libby Ranch. Here industrialist Edmund Drummond Libby reserved the finest oaken lands of his Arbolada for his ranch/estate.
The Von Hagen Residence, 1975. From this mountaintop vantage above Malibu one surveys the world like an Olympic God, but instead of the Mediterranean, the Pacific is below.

Of all John Entenza's California Case Study Program participants, Rodney Walker was the most hands on designer. Julius Shulman recalled Rodney up on a tractor preparing a site on Mulholland Drive for one of his visionary projects.
The Milton Goldman Residence by Richard Neutra, 1951, was expanded & updated in 2001 by architect Roberta Weiser, & carefully maintained and refined since. Detailed interior spaces with quality built-ins work well for large or small families.

Yew, Inadomi, Sokol, Treweck, Flavin, Ohara, Akai, and Kambara: these are the celebrated Neutra Colony houses at Silver Lake.
Wood trim softens and integrates the exposed steel trusses supporting the ceiling. Inclined glass walls look out to the natural pool and gardens. Living at one within nature is the gift.
The Hirth Residence, 1952. While the ranch home is considered to be ubiquitous across the Southern California landscape, a custom Cliff May design is far from ordinary.

Alexander McQueen was once a pudgy, sallow-faced bad boy with bad teeth, an attitude to match and an incipient beer belly. These days, following sensational shows in Paris and the opening of a flagship store in New York, he is a changed man. At 33, he is slim, sophisticated and suited.
Last week, at a party to unveil his first fragrance, he explained over champagne (though he declined the canapés) that his trimness is a result of a radical change in his eating habits. McQueen calls it the "40-40-20 diet", which translates as eating a combination of 40 per cent carbohydrates, 40 per cent protein and 20 per cent fat for each meal. He avoids eating carbohydrates after 3pm, and although he's trying to steer clear of chocolate, too, he's finding this element of his new regime particularly difficult.
"I allow myself one packet of chocolate buttons every Friday," says the confirmed chocoholic. "But this isn't a diet, it's a way of living that you adjust to and become accustomed to. You feel better, you look better and it's healthier."
Karl Lagerfeld is another designer who is a shadow of his former self. His rigorous regime saw him drop, in just over a year, from a dark-suited, 16 stone blimp to a 9.5 stone waif able to fit in to 28in-waist jeans.
In fashion circles, rumours abounded that he was existing on a diet of only cabbages and baby food. But, in fact, he pursued a sensible eating plan, based on steamed fish and vegetables, which was devised in conjunction with his doctor and dietician, Jean-Claude Houdret.
Figs, cherries, bananas, tuna and sardines were all banned. He took homoeopathic potions, including a cactus extract-based supplement which breaks down fat in the intestine.
"I live on steamed fish, steamed vegetables and a little chicken," says Lagerfeld, 64. "I eat zero fat and no yogurt, chocolate, sugar or cake. But I don't miss anything - I feel better and I look better now than I ever have."
Lagerfeld has also rediscovered ballroom dancing, a hobby he first took up as an 11-year-old and which helps keep him trim. These days, in his Monte Carlo mansion, however, he does the samba, rumba and tango in his own private ballroom.
"You never forget the steps," he says.

So Guyana University That It Is Through College Is Simple Using Our Tips And Tricks
So, you have finally managed to make it to university: so what now? Is it time to get fun and party, fitting several hours of study period in? Maybe you will meet your future spouse on campus or launch the next great start-up company? Whatever your collegiate career holds, the subsequent article has some good advice to find out you through.
Create a listing of products which you are going to must take along to college. You should ensure you have everything required so there is no need to continually ask your parents to aid. This is beneficial should you be traveling a lengthy distance for your college.
Don't concern yourself with choosing your major without delay. Most schools offer you until your junior year to decide on a major, so that you should take time to explore different alternatives and evaluate which you most enjoy and might choose to make a career away from prior to select your major.
If you realise out which you cannot afford to see the college you wish to bookshops in Guyana head to, consider the possibility of student loans. Although you must repay each student loans, they often have a lot more flexible pay back options than standard bank loans.
Be sure to make time for both socializing and academics. Some students spend each of their times in their dorm rooms studying, which can be depressing and lonely, while some are extremely social that the coursework suffers. You should get from the room and take action fun at least once a week and devote at least 1 hour an evening to studying for every single of your own classes to assist you to stay balanced.
Should you be a grown-up returning to college, try registering for night classes. The classes during the day time are packed with teenagers right out of high school graduation. The evening courses are usually full of adults and students who are intent on the amount. It can result in a significantly better college experience.
Take extra writing utensils with you for your tests. There exists always a robust possibility that your particular pencil could break or your pen ebooks in Guyana could run out of ink while you're performing your test. Having a backup writing utensil may help you continue your test without being distracted through to sharpen a pencil or refill a pen.
Study groups are extremely beneficial for classes which are hard, when you should attend these if you find your grades are falling. Team up with a friend to visit over several of the material that you simply deem as difficult, since this can assist you to achieve a better understanding and a new perspective.
Do not depend upon electives alone like a approach to deciding on a major. Purchase involved around campus. Try and join clubs and check out work-study jobs. There is normally many activities on campus every single day each week. Set out to use one new thing per week which you have never done before.
College is actually a crazy and wonderful time, full of learning, meeting new people and discovering a lot more about you. Take advantage of this time around and keep the end-goal at heart at all times. Once you've got that college diploma, the sky is the limit to what to do!

Newcastle boss Steve McClaren admits Magpies were lucky not to see red
Steve McClaren admitted new striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was lucky not to get sent off seconds into his Newcastle debut in their 2-2 draw against Southampton at St James' Park.
The Serbian made an instant impression upon replacing Papiss Cisse in the 75th minute, launching a scything challenge on Matt Targett which earned him a yellow card from referee Craig Pawson.
Mitrovic's actions drew criticism from Saints assistant Erwin Koeman – standing in for injured brother Ronald – who insisted: "I don't think he (Mitrovic) touched him, but if he did then Matthew was in hospital, I think."
And amid suggestions of a later elbow by Mitrovic on Maya Yoshida which went apparently unnoticed by Pawson, McClaren will be well aware of his need to curb his new striker's enthusiasm if he is to get the best from him this season.
McClaren, who claimed no knowledge of the second alleged incident, said of the first: "We were quite fortunate he did not get a red there and there would have been no complaints if he did. He certainly doesn't hold back. He wanted to come on and impress."
It was another new signing, Gini Wijnaldum, who went the right way about stealing the show when he netted Newcastle's second in the 48th minute. Wijnaldum, the pick of the home performers, finished off a fine cross from Gabriel Obertan just seconds after Yoshida had been denied a second for Southampton at the other end when his close-range strike was beaten out by Tim Krul.
Graziano Pelle had opened the scoring for Saints in the 24th minute before Papiss Cisse bundled an equaliser just before half-time. The visitors salvaged a point through substitute Shane Long (pictured) in the 79th minute.
Erwin Koeman admitted his own satisfaction with a point after Thursday night's Europa League exertions were tempered by two golden opportunities spurned by striker Sadio Mane in injury time.
The acting boss said: "We had some big chances in the last 10 minutes but you have to score to win games so it is mixed feelings that we have."

Ray Ray Li-Ot-Ta! And Ga And-Ga-Ga! Oh My Oh-My-God! Want a Bad Romance?
She loves Goodfellas,
She loves Goodfellas,
Last night at the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala presented by The Los Angeles Times — held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel — most of the stars looked great. Glam hair, dreamy dresses. Although a few folks made some bad decisions. Hey, it's not a celebrity red carpet without some ugly ensembles! Let's take a look,…
At the premiere of new buddy movie Wild Hogs (which inexplicably took top spot at the box office this weekend), it's 53-year-old star inadvertently posed the question everyone's been asking for a few years now:
We're not sure which is sadder, the fact that Ray Liotta got booked for drink-driving yesterday evening, or the fact that he's starring with John Travolta and Tim Allen in a 'buddy movie' called Wild Hogs.

"Everyone seems to want hats to stage a big comeback," Lesley M.M. Blume writes in Let's Bring Back, her charming salute to the trappings of days gone by, "but no one is willing to take the first step of wearing them consistently. Let's be bold and take the plunge together."
Passing through Toronto recently for a book-related shindig thrown by The Society, a neo-salon for modern bon vivants, Blume held true to her written word, donning a black 1940s-style chapeau that made at least one guest think she was a flight attendant with Porter Airlines. Designers Samantha and Caillianne Beckerman, twin sisters and unapologetic eccentrics, also wore caps on their crowns that night.
As these trendsetters demonstrated, eye-catching toppers need not be reserved for weddings (royal or otherwise) and the Derby. But if you need an excuse to sport a brand-new bonnet, this is Easter weekend.
"I actually wear hats consistently and I've kind of become known for it," Blume says from New York in a follow-up phone chat. "They're incredibly dramatic without being overly costume-y. They're highly individualistic."
Some of today's hottest designers agree, having sent a parade of panamas, boaters and big-brimmed chapeaux down the runway at the spring shows, many paired with this season's must-have colour-block looks. At Prada, floppy striped-cotton versions hung across the backs of models' necks, while straw was the material of choice at several other big shows, including Marc Jacobs's fab disco fantasia, which featured wide-rimmed toppers in saturated shades (the yellow-gold ones resembled halos in Renaissance paintings). Missoni's square black numbers, meanwhile, were trimmed in the house's signature multicoloured zigzag prints.
But you don't have to go high-end to get in on the trend. Having already built a following for her flower-child garlands and petit-eared headbands, Torontonian Lara Vincent has started to introduce hats into her budding namesake line.
"I love to make sculptures that people can wear on their heads," she says via e-mail from London, where she is refreshing her millinery skills at the London College of Fashion. Many of Vincent's shapes start off traditionally masculine and adopt various personalities as she adds leather, suede, netting and lace.
As for the hot go-to material - straw - Toronto milliner Karyn Gringras insists that the beauty and versatility of the material reaches beyond pastoral styles, saying it can be dyed, braided, folded and tied into limitless shapes.
Gringras also notes that panama is actually a type of straw first and a hat style second. The high-quality, superfine fibre comes from Ecuador and arrives at her boutique, Lilliput Hats, unformed. Only after wetting, steaming and sculpting does it begin to resemble a pretty topper. Straw also offers breathability where other materials don't, she says. "It's much lighter and fits looser; it's not so precious."
Gringras regularly fields requests for custom creations but her store is stocked with straw hats that appeal to a potpourri of tastes: trim with tailored grosgrain-ribbon detail, patterns including polka dots and cherry motifs, sweet cloches for dames and jaunty porkpies for gents.
Many designers are also playing with classic proportions. Tiny design tweaks can add an updated twist or, sometimes, an asymmetrical edge. Canadian brand Big It Up's Stingy Brim straw fedora, for instance, is less film noir than 21st-century cool cat. "People are surrendering to changing their everyday look," Big It Up director Steve Foster says. "They're understanding that hats can be an extension of your character."
No matter how cool the hat, though, it must, of course, flatter the wearer. Foster recommends wide brims for oval faces and upturned brims for eyeglass-wearers. "The purpose of the hat is to enhance your look; it shouldn't be hiding you," he adds.
While Jeff Farbstein, executive vice-president and merchandising manager at Harry Rosen, says that hats aren't for everyone, they're just the ticket, he feels, for dress-to-impress types (and those who want to be). "You have to be confident to go outside the fashion norm," he says, "but you put one on and all of a sudden it's a head turner."
Not to mention a mood lifter. "A few years ago, it was the easiest way to distinguish myself and it still is," says Blume, the author. "Hats can be a really joyous expression of self."

The Clarke County Board of Education tonight is expected to consider partnering with a private driving school to make driver's education more affordable for its high school students.
The deal would mark the first time in several years that the Clarke County School District offered or sponsored driver's education.
The board, which holds its agenda-setting meeting today, has proposals from two local driving schools to offer 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel driving time.
The two companies would charge students $350 or $425, depending on which company the board chooses. However, the school district will offset most of the student's costs in the form of $250 scholarships.
An administrative committee recommended offering about 360 of the scholarships to students who want to take the classes next spring.
A $110,000 grant from the Georgia Highway and Safety Administration will pay for the scholarships and any leftover money could be used to pay for driving simulators or safety equipment, the committee said.
Like many Georgia school districts, Clarke County stopped offering driver's ed several years ago due to budget constraints.
However, board members have felt renewed pressure to offer some form of instruction again since the passage of new state legislation known as Joshua's Law. The law requires every teen complete state-approved driver's ed classes before he or she can get a license at 16.
The school board will meet at 6:30 p.m. today at the district offices on Mitchell Bridge Road.
