He conducts Tchaikovsky's adaptation of Pushkin's engrossing tale, with heldentenor Ben Heppner, above, as the soldier whose obsession with cards leads him down a spiral of madness and murder. Maria Guleghina stars as the innocent woman drawn into his descent.
Japanese Mandalas: Emanations and Avatars - Metropolitan Museum of Art
The introduction of esoteric Buddhism to Japan from mainland China in the ninth-century forever changed the visual landscape of Japanese religion and of Japanese art as a whole. The rituals of Mikkyo Buddhism, or the "Secret Teachings" as the newly imported doctrine was called, involve a preponderance of arrestingly beautiful and fearsome images that aim to reveal ultimate truths to the initiated. At the core of Mikkyo is the Mandala of Both Realms, paired cosmic diagrams of the Diamond World and the Matrix World. The installation explores the art of Mikkyo Buddhism from the models used to create these mandalas to the images they inspired. Important early iconographic drawings, paintings, sculpture, and textiles from the Metropolitan's permanent collection are displayed with outstanding works from other institutions and private collections.
Complexions Contemporary Ballet - The Joyce Theater
Eight daringly audacious women, seven powerful men, two visionary directors and one improbable dream equals 15 years of defying the odds. Complexions returns to The Joyce with its explosive signature style, wrought with athleticism, virtuosity and artistry. Artistic Directors Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson present two exhilarating programs with world premieres and repertory favorites showcasing their dynamic range of music: gospel, Chopin, 80s pop, an original score by jazz composer David Rozenblatt and the iconic sounds of U2. This performance is a celebration sizzling with passion, energy and joy! For more information, visit www.joyce.org
Vermeer's Masterpiece The Milkmaid - Metropolitan Museum of Art
On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's historic voyage to Manhattan from Amsterdam, that city's Rijksmuseum sends perhaps the most admired painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) to the Met. Closed Mon. $20.
Watteau, Music, and Theater - Metropolitan Museum of Art
The exhibition will explore the place of music and theater in the work of the great early eighteenth-century French painter and draftsman Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721), comparing an imagery of power, associated with the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, with a more optimistic and mildly subversive imagery of pleasure, developed in contemporary opera-ballet and theater. It will show that the painter's utopian vision was directly influenced by these sister arts and will shed light on the subjects of a number of Watteau's images. In addition to material drawn from various departments of the Museum, including musical instruments, porcelains, and prints, there will be a number of major loans of paintings and drawings by Watteau and his contemporaries from other collections in the United States and Europe.
Adv. Beginner/Int. Flamenco w/ Rebeca Tomas - Flamenco Latino Studio
FALL FLAMENCO COURSE with REBECA TOMÁS TIME: Thursdays, 6:00pm- 7:30pm-Starting September 24th LOCATION: Flamenco Latino Studios, 244 W. 54th St., 4th fl. (Bet. Broadway & 8th Ave.). COSTS: $22 Drop-In $80 for 4 classes ($20/class) $144 for 8 classes ($18/class) CALL: 212-399-8519 for questions or to reserve. DESCRIPTION: Each class will consist of Body and Foot technique, followed by "choreography" snippets of Palos typically danced in Tablao. The "choreography" portion will specifically focus on clarifying structural elements of each palo (i.e., llamada, letra, falseta, remate, etc.) and understanding how to communicate and have the necessary control when dancing with musicians. Rebeca Tomás began her dance training in Granada, Spain, later moving to Madrid, where she trained at the internationally renowned Flamenco Academy, Amor de Dios. While in Spain, she appeared at tablaos such as Las Carboneras, Al Andalus, and el Juglar. In the U.S., Rebeca performs and tours with numerous Flamenco dance companies, including Edwin Aparicio Flamenco Company, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana, and Jorge Navarro¹s Pasión Flamenca. In spring 2008, she received a grant from the Jerome Foundation to travel to Sevilla and deepen her studies in Bata de Cola technique. Also in 2008, she received a scholarship to attend Jacob's Pillow Summer Intensive. There, the distinguished flamenco company Noche Flamenca and Soledad Barrio invited her to join the company, with whom she has continued to dance and tour internationally.
Marie Digby - Joe's Pub
From the opening beats of Breathing Underwater, the listener encounters a bold new Marie Digby. In marked contrast to the stripped-down vibe of her debut disc, Unfold, the album's fuller sound enhances Marie's (pronounced Mar-ee-AY) emotionally rich storytelling and dramatic vocals. The album is a deeply personal snapshot of her life -- full of the kind of exposed emotions that make great songs.
The Queen of Spades - Metropolitan Opera
Seiji Ozawa returns to the Met after an absence of more than 15 years. He conducts Tchaikovsky's adaptation of Pushkin's engrossing tale, with heldentenor Ben Heppner, above, as the soldier whose obsession with cards leads him down a spiral of madness and murder. Maria Guleghina stars as the innocent woman drawn into his descent.
Brooklyn College Big Band - Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts
5pm. $5.
Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica - Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)
Hip-hop savant cum shrewd cultural critic, the tireless DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid/Paul D. Miller has always kept one ear to deftly-crafted sound and the other to social concerns. In Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctica, he heeds the call of a rapidly changing continent by letting it finally speak for itself. Based around DJ Spooky's sound recordings in the Antarctic that explore the acoustic qualities of ice, Terra Nova allows us to encounter the climate crisis with unprecedented intimacy, giving voice to the groaning landscape as it undergoes irrevocable change. Members of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) perform live with DJ Spooky's hip-hop and sample-infused soundscape to create a riveting electronic symphony as live video projections reconstruct Antarctica -- the real and the imagined -- in this acoustic portrait of our embattled Earth.
Ballet Hispanico - The Joyce Theater
Ballet Hispanico explores the essence of Latino cultures with a season of new voices and bold dance. Under the new artistic leadership of Eduardo Vilaro, the program reflects the dynamic range of Ballet Hispanico's repertoire with exciting premiers by Andrea Miller, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and a live music collaboration featuring Oscar Hernandez. Those pieces, alongside works by dance masters Ramon Oller and Vicente Nebrada, create an engaging evening of Latino-infused dance! For more information, visit www.joyce.org
Humanism in China: A Contemporary Record of Photography - China Institute
A revealing glimpse into rural and urban daily life in China, beyond the glossy veneer of the economic boom. For the debut presentation of this traveling exhibition in America, 100 of these photographs have been selected for their union of social documentation and aesthetic expression. Taken during the years 1951 through 2003, these photographs are of a very high aesthetic order, displaying an extraordinary range of human emotion and activity, urban and rural, public and private. The exhibit is not a study of things or of places, but of people; not famous people but the anonymous and ordinary, engaged in daily life. It presents neither ideological paragons nor moral admonitions but the vitality of a nation, lodged in its diversity. These photographs reflect the radical change the country has gone through in the past half century and break through all the stereotypes of life in China that photography itself has sometimes been used to create.

New Photography 2009 - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
New Photography 2009 is a thematic presentation of significant recent work in photography that examines and expands the conventional definitions of the medium. Although the six artists in this installation -- Walead Beshty, Daniel Gordon, Leslie Hewitt, Carter Mull, Sterling Ruby, and Sara VanDerBeek -- represent diverse points of view, working methods, and pictorial modes ranging from abstract to representational, their images all begin in the studio or the darkroom and result from processes involving collection, assembly, and manipulation. Many of the works are made with everyday materials and objects, as well as images from the Internet, magazines, newspapers, and books. Some of the artists also work in other mediums and their pictures relate to disciplines such as drawing, sculpture, and installation. As traditional photographic techniques are being quickly replaced by digital technologies, the artists included here examine the process and structure of making photographs.

Looking In: Robert Frank's The Americans - Metropolitan Museum of Art
This exhibition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Americans, Robert Frank's influential suite of black-and-white photographs made on a cross-country road trip in 1955-56. Although Frank's depiction of American life was criticized when the book was released in the U.S. in 1959, it soon became recognized as a masterpiece of street photography. Born in Switzerland in 1924, Frank is considered one of the great living masters of photography. The exhibition will feature all 83 photographs published in The Americans and will be the first time that this body of work is presented to a New York audience. In addition, the exhibition includes contact sheets that Frank used to create the book; earlier photographs made in Europe, Peru, and New York; a short film by the artist on his life; and his later re-use of iconic images from the series.
Rococo and Revolution: Eighteenth-Century French Drawings - Morgan Library & Museum
Featuring more than eighty exceptional drawings almost exclusively from the Morgan's renowned holdings. The efflorescence of the ancien regime and its eventual downfall provide the backdrop to a century of remarkable artistic vitality and variety that subtly chronicles the many changes taking place in eighteenth-century France. Artists represented in the exhibition include Antoine Watteau, Jacques-Louis David, Francois Boucher, Jean-Honore Fragonard, Claude Gillot, Nicolas Lancret, Hubert Robert, Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, Anne-Louis Girodet, and Pierre-Narcisse Guerin, among others.
The Erotic Object: Surrealist Sculpture from the Collection - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
Surrealist artists, writers, and poets placed persistent emphasis on the power of the imagination to transform the everyday. Beginning in the early 1930s, the production of elliptically erotic, sexually charged objects and sculptures became central to their concerns. This exhibition features some of the most notorious works, including Salvador Dalí's bread-and-inkwell-crowned Retrospective Bust of a Woman (1933) and Meret Oppenheim's fur-lined teacup (1936).
Paired, Gold: Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
The aesthetic dialogue between Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn is embodied in an exchange of gold, a reciprocal gift between two artists that resonates with the poetry of their respective projects. In 1990 during Horn's solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Gonzalez-Torres encountered her sculpture Forms from the Gold Field (1980-82), two pounds of pure gold compressed into a luminous rectangular mat. Set directly on the floor in an otherwise empty gallery, the work threatens to dissolve into dazzling immateriality, the sense of pure surface that its delicacy invokes. Impressed by its radical simplicity and emotive capabilities, Gonzalez-Torres shared his memory of the work with Horn when they met in 1993. A few days later, she sent him a square of gold foil as a symbol of their newfound friendship and shared sensibilities. He was so inspired by her gesture and the expansiveness of her subtle work that he fashioned his own "gold field" in her honor: "Untitled" (Placebo – Landscape – for Roni) (1993), an endlessly replaceable candy spill of gold cellophane–wrapped sweets. Having described Horn's Gold Field in his essay "1990: L.A, 'The Gold Field'" from Earths Grow Thick: Roni Horn, as "a new landscape, a possible horizon, a place of rest and absolute beauty," Gonzalez-Torres created a gleaming, topographical sculpture that, in the spirit of his work, is always free for the taking.
Lincoln Center: Celebrating 50 Years - New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
The first exhibition to focus exclusively on the evolution and influence of America's first performing arts center features an extensive collection of historic and contemporary objects including photographs, ephemera, correspondence, costumes, set pieces, props and video recordings.
Intervals: Kitty Kraus - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Kitty Kraus (b. 1976, Heidelberg, Germany) has been invited to exhibit her work for the second installment of Intervals, a new contemporary art series designed to showcase experimental projects by emerging artists. Kraus works in a spare, elegiac vocabulary of monochrome forms and humble materials such as light bulbs, mirrors, ice, and cloth. While her sculptural installations at first recall the cool, geometric precision of Minimalist art, they possess an internal volatility that can prompt their gradual fragmentation or sudden collapse. The spirit of her practice is thus more aligned with the focus on process and alchemic transformation associated with Post-Minimalism, such as the Arte Povera movement of the late 1960s or the work of Joseph Beuys and Robert Smithson. The trajectory of dissolution at the heart of Kraus's work is encapsulated in her series of bulbs or microphones encased in blocks of frozen ink, in which the heat from the embedded electronic device gradually melts the ice, leaving only a residue of murky liquid pooled on the floor or trailing the gallery walls. Likewise, her sculptures constructed from bulbs enclosed in mirrored glass boxes, in which slivers of light seep through incised edges to envelop the gallery space in delicate projected patterns are sometimes calibrated so that the heat from the light source eventually shatters the casing. As a young artist defining her career at the beginning of the 21st century -- a time of profound questioning and global crises -- Kraus rehearses the trend towards degradation and chaos known as entropy, finding a mournful beauty in the literal and symbolic failure of form.
Annual Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Creche - Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Met continues a long-standing holiday tradition with the annual presentation of its Christmas tree, a favorite of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. A vivid eighteenth-century Neapolitan Nativity scene -- embellished with a profuse array of diminutive, lifelike attendant figures and silk-robed angels hovering above -- will adorn the candlelit spruce. Recorded music and lighting ceremonies will add to the enjoyment of the holiday display.
Eccentric Visions: The Worlds of Luo Ping (1733-1799) - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Luo Ping was one of the most versatile, original, and celebrated artists in eighteenth-century China. The youngest of the so-called Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, he was a fiercely independent artist whose works -- including portraits, landscapes, and flower paintings -- deeply influenced the course of later Chinese painting. Organized by the Museum Rietberg, Zurich, the exhibition, which consists of 37 paintings by Luo Ping, members of his family, and his mentor Jin Nong, is drawn primarily from leading museums in China and will feature a number of National Treasures that have never been shown in the West. In New York it will be complemented by about a dozen works from the Museum's collection and from several local private lenders.
Watteau to Degas: French Drawings from the Frits Lugt Collection - Frick Collection
Selected by the curators of The Frick Collection, this exhibition of more than sixty works will include drawings and watercolors by well-known masters of the French School, including Jean-Antoine Watteau, François Boucher, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jacques-Louis David, Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Edgar Degas, as well as important figures who are less familiar to the general public.
Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156-1868 - Metropolitan Museum of Art
The first comprehensive exhibition devoted to the arts of the samurai. Arms and armor will be the principal focus, bringing together the finest examples of armor, swords and sword mountings, archery equipment and firearms, equestrian equipment, banners, surcoats, and related accessories of rank such as fans and batons. Drawn entirely from public and private collections in Japan, the majority of objects date from the rise of the samurai in the late Heian period, ca. 1156, through the early modern Edo period, ending in 1868, when samurai culture was abolished. The martial skills and daily life of the samurai, their governing lords, the daimyo, and the ruling shoguns will also be evoked through the presence of painted scrolls and screens depicting battles and martial sports, castles, and portraits of individual warriors. The exhibition will conclude with a related exhibition documenting the recent restoration in Japan of a selection of arms and armor from the Metropolitan Museum's permanent collection. This will be the first exhibition ever devoted to the subject of Japanese arms and armor conservation.

Artists include John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, William Sidney Mount, George Caleb Bingham, Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, John Sloan, and George Bellows.
Tobi Kahn - Sacred Spaces for the 21st Century - Museum of Biblical Art
This exhibition brings together recent projects by New York City artist Tobi Kahn (chief among them Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun; Milwaukee, WI, 2008) within the context of sacred spaces conceived for the 21st century.
Roni Horn aka Roni Horn - Whitney Museum of American Art
For more than thirty years, Roni Horn (b. 1955) has been developing work of concentrated visual power and intellectual rigor, often exploring issues of gender, identity, androgyny, and the complex relationship between object and subject. Because the artist chooses not to privilege any one medium, Horn's art defies easy categorization. Materials – often used with remarkable virtuosity and sensitivity – take on metaphorical qualities and relate key themes with great visual power. Horn's interest in doubling and identity, for example, is central to understanding her approach to the genres of portraiture and landscape. Image-specific photographic portraits and ethereally beautiful abstract cast glass sculpture relay aspects of both. Similarly, Horn's intricately cut and pigmented drawings suggest something of the elemental nature of the earth that relates in turn to how the landscape of Iceland, where Horn has traveled and made work since 1975, has informed her practice.
The Red Book of C.G. Jung - Rubin Museum of Art
The Red Book of C.G. Jung marks the first public presentation of what may be considered psychology's most influential unpublished work. Jung's fascination with mandalas -- Tibetan Buddhist representations of the cosmos used to help reach enlightenment -- is evident in these books where mandala structures figure prominently in many sketches and paintings.
MoMA Starts: An 80th Anniversary Exhibition - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
The Museum has always been at the forefront of exhibiting and collecting modern art, but equally important to its mission is educating and engaging the public. MoMA has constantly created new programs -- from children's art classes to concerts in the Sculpture Garden -- to supplement and enrich its exhibitions. This installation features photographs and unique documents drawn from the Museum Archives, celebrating MoMA's founding in 1929, as well as the initiation of a range of educational and cultural offerings that together have created a rich eighty-year legacy.
Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
This survey is MoMA's first major exhibition since 1938 on the subject of this famous and influential school of avant-garde art. Founded in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus brought together artists, architects, and designers in an extraordinary conversation about the nature of art in the age of technology. Aiming to rethink the very form of modern life, the Bauhaus became the site of a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that have profoundly shaped our visual world today.
Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection - Museum of Arts & Design
The first major museum exhibition of jewelry from the personal collection of Madeleine Albright, Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection features more than 200 pins, many of which Secretary Albright wore to communicate a message or a mood during her diplomatic tenure. The exhibition examines the collection for its historic significance as well as the expressive power of jewelry and its ability to communicate through a style and language of its own. The exhibition will be presented in the Museum's Tiffany & Co. Gallery, dedicated to the study and presentation of contemporary jewelry from around the world.
Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present - Brooklyn Museum
The first major museum exhibition on rock and roll to put photographers in the foreground, acknowledging their creative and collaborative role in the history of rock music. From its earliest days, rock and roll was captured in photographs that personalized, and frequently eroticized, the musicians, creating a visual identity for the genre. The photographers were handmaidens to the rock-and-roll revolution, and their images communicate the social and cultural transformations that rock has fostered since the1950s. The exhibition is in six sections: rare and revealing images taken behind the scenes; tender snapshots of young musicians at the beginnings of their careers; exhilarating photographs of live performances that display the energy, passion, style, and sex appeal of the band on stage; powerful images of the crowds and fans that are often evocative of historic paintings; portraits revealing the soul and creativity, rather than the surface and celebrity, of the musicians; and conceptual images and album covers highlighting the collaborative efforts between the image makers and the musicians.
Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future - Museum of the City of New York
One of the most prolific, unorthodox, and controversial figures of post-war, 20th-century architecture, Eero Saarinen, gets his first retrospective. The exhibition includes never-before-seen sketches, drawings, models, furnishings, films, and photographs from a career highlighted by remarkable designs such as the TWA Terminal at JFK, the St. Louis Gateway Arch, the CBS corporate headquarters, and Washington, DC's Dulles International Airport.
Nikhil Chopra: Yog Raj Chitrakar: Memory Drawing IX - New Museum of Contemporary Art
Nikhil Chopra combines strategies associated with theater, portraiture, landscape drawing, photography, art actions, and installation to chronicle the world through live performance. As the Victorian draughtsman Yog Raj Chitrakar, Chopra haunts bustling market squares, forgotten old buildings, city streets, and museum galleries to make large-scale drawings. Within the performance, daily actions -- washing, eating, drinking, sleeping, dressing, shaving, and observing -- are transformed into ritualistic spectacle. While an ambiguous past collides with a unstable present, Yog Raj Chitrakar reveals the process of documenting what he sees while exploring self-portraiture, autobiography, history, fantasy, and sexuality.
Urs Fischer: Marguerite de Ponty - New Museum of Contemporary Art
Zurich-born, New York-based artist Urs Fischer will be the first artist to take over the entire New Museum on the Bowery. For his first large-scale solo presentation in an American museum to date, Fischer will transform the New Museum's gallery spaces by creating a mesmerizing environment featuring towering monuments, tangled abstractions, and a labyrinth of mirrors. This exhibition will be the culmination of four years of work. Neither a traditional survey nor a retrospective, but rather an "introspective," as organizing curator Massimiliano Gioni calls it, the show will combine new productions and iconic artworks, allowing for an in-depth look at Fischer's practice. Choreographed entirely by the artist, the exhibition will offer viewers the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Fischer's universe, which is both spectacular and fragile.
Velazquez Rediscovered - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Velazquez Rediscovered features a newly identified painting by Velazquez, Portrait of a Man, formerly ascribed to the workshop of Velazquez, and recently reattributed to the master himself following its cleaning and restoration. It will be shown alongside other works from the Museum's superior collection of works by the great Spanish painter.
From Klimt to Klee: Masterworks from the Serge Sabarsky Collection - Neue Galerie
With this exhibition, Neue Galerie New York pays tribute to its co-founder, Serge Sabarsky. A tireless advocate for German and Austrian art, Sabarsky was the driving force behind the creation of the museum. He was also a dedicated collector, who acquired numerous masterworks by the artists he cherished. The exhibition demonstrates the range and quality of the Sabarsky Collection, with its holdings in works by Austrian artists Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Oskar Kokoschka, and German artists Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, among many others.
Cinnabar: The Chinese Art of Carved Lacquer - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Although lacquer is used in many Asian cultures, the art of carving lacquer is unique to China. In this technique, multiple layers (as many as 200) are applied onto a substructure in the shape of a box or some other container and individually dried and carved to create lush geometric motifs, lively representations of figures in landscapes, or birds flying among flowers. This exhibition, which celebrates the Met's collection, showcases approximately 50 examples of this art form. It features several newly acquired works, as well as an important recently restored 18th-century screen that is displayed for the first time.
Pablo Bronstein at the Met - Metropolitan Museum of Art
For this exhibition, Pablo Bronstein (b. 1977) will create two new bodies of work addressing the nature of the museum. Several large ink drawings will portray a mythical history of the Metropolitan Museum, imagining the building under construction and giant artworks being transported or installed. Running in parallel, a series of smaller digital images, displayed on tables under glass, will focus on a hypothetical future of the Museum.
NEW YORK PAINTING BEGINS: EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY PORTRAITS - The New York Historical Society
The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation's premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits, works that art historian James Thomas Flexner called "the first flowers of our wilderness." This installation provides twenty-first century viewers with ways of understanding these remarkably innovative and engaging paintings, some of the earliest works of American art. The exhibition focuses on 26 eighteenth-century portraits that mark the beginnings of New York's primacy as a cultural center. It also includes a sampling of related objects from other N-YHS collections. It also speaks to the ways that these works have changed over time as a result of aging materials and conservation treatments.
Thomas Chambers (1808-1869): American Marine and Landscape Painter - American Folk Art Museum
Obscure in his own lifetime, Thomas Chambers found fame in the twentieth century with the discovery of The "Constitution" and the "Guerriere," a rare signed painting of his that unlocked the identity of the artist behind a singularly flamboyant group of mid-nineteenth-century American marine and landscape paintings. Chambers's expressive style and bold decorative sensibility appealed to avant-garde taste, and he was hailed as a spunky native original, "America's first modern." Although almost nothing was known about his life, his work rapidly earned a place in the growing collections and anthologies of American folk art. As more of Chambers's work came to light, a spare life story was constructed from census records, city directories, and a handful of dated paintings that document a career in the United States between 1832 and 1865. Widely recognized but little studied in the last fifty years, the artist receives here the first survey of his work since his modern debut in New York in 1942.

Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks - Museum of the City of New York
Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks presents the work of photographer Joel Meyerowitz, who has spent more than three years recording wild places in New York City's parks. Located in all five boroughs, these escapes to the woodlands, streams, waterfronts, marshes, and beaches are among the city's greatest assets, yet they are hidden in plain sight. These wild areas, which have been left or returned to their natural state through the city's "Forever Wild" initiative, include the craggy highlands of Manhattan, the sea-facing marshes of Brooklyn, the rocky, Maine-like coastline of the Bronx, and the nearly impenetrable forests of Queens and Staten Island. Through his photographs, Meyerowitz transports the viewer into the heart of a lush wilderness, while portraying pockets of nature as an inextricable part of city life today.
A Woman's Wit: Jane Austen's Life and Legacy - Morgan Library & Museum
This exhibition explores the life, work, and legacy of Jane Austen (1775-1817), regarded as one of the greatest English novelists. Offering a close-up portrait of the iconic British author, whose popularity has surged over the last two decades with numerous motion picture and television adaptations of her work, the show provides tangible intimacy with Austen through the presentation of more than 100 works, including her manuscripts, personal letters, and related materials, many of which the Morgan has not exhibited in over a quarter century.
Imperial Privilege: Vienna Porcelain of Du Paquier, 1718–44 - Metropolitan Museum of Art
The second porcelain factory in Europe able to make true porcelain in the manner of the Chinese was established in Vienna in 1718. Founded by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier, the small porcelain enterprise developed a highly distinctive style that remained Baroque in inspiration throughout the history of the factory, which was taken over by the State in 1744. Du Paquier produced a range of tablewares, decorative vases, and small-scale sculpture that found great popularity with the Hapsburg court and the Austrian nobility. This exhibition will chart the history of the development of the Du Paquier factory, setting its production within the historic and cultural context of Vienna in the first half of the eighteenth century. The porcelain to be featured will be drawn from both the Metropolitan Museum and the premier private collection of this material.
Lincoln and New York - New-York Historical Society
New York's role as the Union's prime provider of manpower, treasure, media coverage, image-making, and protest, some of it racist -- the 1863 Draft Riots and the robust effort to unseat Lincoln in 1864 -- are traced alongside Lincoln's concurrent growth as a leader, writer, symbol of Union and freedom, and ultimately as national martyr. Through all, from political parades to funeral processions, New York played a surprisingly central role in the Lincoln story -- and Lincoln became a leading player in the life of New York. This exhibition commemorates the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial.
FDR's Brain Trust and the Beginning of the New Deal - New-York Historical Society
In his search for a new national message during the 1932 presidential primary, FDR gathered around him a number of political, economic and legal scholars. The core of this group were Columbia University professors, who knew and trusted each other, and were willing to take risks and work long unpaid hours, to promote a candidate that they believed could turn around a nation in crisis. This exhibition will focus on the three key members of the Brain Trust, Raymond Moley, Rexford Tugwell, and Adolph Berle, and two of the New Deal cabinet members with whom they worked to bring about FDR's radical changes, Frances Perkins and Harry Hopkins. Using contemporary photographs, cartoons, broadsides, articles and newsreels, this exhibition will be supplemented by audio reminisces from the collection of the Columbia University Oral History Research Office.
Anish Kapoor: Memory - Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Memory (2008), a new commissioned Cor-Ten steel sculptural installation by Anish Kapoor made its debut at Deutsche Guggenheim in November 2008. The exhibition, part of the Guggenheim's 50th-anniversary celebrations, presents New York audiences with a site-specific adaption of the work, conceived originally for both exhibition locations.
The Life & Legacy of Lieutenant Petrosino - New York City Police Museum
Visit the Police Museum's newest installation celebrating one of the most famous officers in the history of the NYPD. Lieutenant Petrosino arrived in New York as a young boy in 1872 and grew to become a pioneer in the fight against organized crime until his murder in 1909 in Sicily. He remains the only New York City Police Officer to be killed in the line of duty while overseas. The original photographs, documents and artifacts within this collection, loaned by Lieutenant Petrosino's family, have waited 100 years to make their first-ever public debut.
Slash: Paper Under The Knife - Museum of Arts & Design
Slash: Paper Under the Knife takes the pulse of the international art world's renewed interest in paper as a creative medium and source of artistic inspiration, examining the remarkably diverse use of paper in a range of art forms. Slash is the third exhibition in MAD's Materials and Process series, which examines the renaissance of traditional handcraft materials and techniques in contemporary art and design. The exhibition surveys unusual paper treatments, including works that are burned, torn, cut by lasers, and shredded. A section of the exhibition will focus on artists who modify books to transform them into sculpture, while another will highlight the use of cut paper for film and video animations.
Design USA: Contemporary Innovation - Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
Design USA celebrates the accomplishments of the winners honored during the first ten years of the prestigious National Design Awards. The exhibition features outstanding contemporary achievements in American architecture, landscape design, interior design, product design, communication design, corporate design, interaction design, and fashion. Developed in collaboration with the renowned firm 2x4, Design USA focuses on innovation through the lens of technology, material, method, craft and transformation.
Monet's Water Lilies - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
The Museum of Modern Art presents an installation that will, for the first time since the Museum's reopening in 2004, feature the full group of Claude Monet's late paintings in the collection. These include a mural-sized triptych (Water Lilies, 1914–26) and a single-panel painting of the water lilies in the Japanese-style pond that Monet cultivated on his property in Giverny, France (Water Lilies, 1914–26), as well as The Japanese Footbridge (c. 1920–22) and Agapanthus (1914–26), depicting the majestic plants in the pond's vicinity. These paintings have long held a special status with the Museum's audiences and, much like MoMA's Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, they provide a modern oasis in the center of midtown Manhattan. These works will be complemented by two loans of closely related paintings.
Tim Burton - Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects.
Surface Tension: Contemporary Photographs from the Collection - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Photographs are often perceived as transparent windows onto a three-dimensional world. Yet photographs also have their own material presence as physical objects. Contemporary artists who exploit this apparent contradiction between photograph as window and photograph as object are featured in Surface Tension. This exhibition presents 30 works that play with the inherent tension between the flatness of the photograph and the often lifelike illusion of depth. Surface Tension highlights the ways in which artists use photographic and multi-media techniques to direct our attention to the physical surface of the photograph. Among the works featured are photographs that have been purposely scratched, burned, or painted on, as well as photograms made by placing objects directly on top of a sheet of photographic paper. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the permanent collection and features several recent acquisitions and other contemporary photographs never before shown at the Museum.
The Butterfly Conservatory: Tropical Butterflies Alive in Winter - American Museum of Natural History
Celebrating its twelfth year at the Museum, this highly popular winter attraction transforms the iciest day into a magical summer escape, inviting visitors to mingle with up to 500 fluttering, iridescent butterflies among blooming tropical flowers and lush green vegetation in 80-degree temperatures.
Traveling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World - American Museum of Natural History
This intriguing exhibition brings to life one of the greatest trading routes in human history, showcasing the goods, cultures, and technologies from four representative cities: Xi'an, China's Tang Dynasty capital; Turfan, a verdant oasis and trading outpost; Samarkand, home of prosperous merchants who thrived on the caravan trade; and Baghdad, a fertile hub of commerce and scholarship that became the intellectual center of the era.
Approaching Abstraction - American Folk Art Museum
It is commonly assumed that contemporary self-taught artists work solely in a representational style, eager to engage in storytelling and personal memory. But while the narrative tradition often is a primary impulse, a significant number exhibit a tendency to be seduced by material, technique, color, form, line, and texture, creating artwork that omits or obscures representation. "Approaching Abstraction" highlights the work of more than forty of these artists and includes European art brut masters, such as Aloise Corbaz, Rafael Lonne, and Adolf Wolfli; self-taught artists from the American South, such as Thornton Dial Sr., Bessie Harvey, J.B. Murry, and Purvis Young; and lesser-known artists, such as Johnny Culver, Hiroyuki Doi, and Melvin Way. This first exploration into nonobjective expression within this field is selected entirely from the museum's permanent collection.
Sounding the Pacific: Musical Instruments of Oceania - Metropolitan Museum of Art
This exhibition -- the first in an art museum to be devoted exclusively to Oceanic musical instruments -- explores the rich diversity of musical instruments created and used in the Pacific Islands. Drawn primarily from the Met's collections, the exhibition features more than 60 instruments from small personal types such as panpipes and courting whistles to larger forms played at performances heard by the entire community, such as the exquisitely carved temple drums of the Austral Islands or the imposing sacred slit gongs of New Guinea.
Up Close: Henry Darger and the Coloring Book - American Folk Art Museum
Henry Darger (1892-1973) adopted countless images from popular-media sources, such as newspapers, magazines, comics, and cartoons, but no single source influenced him as steadily as the coloring book. This intimate exhibition features nine examples culled from the museum's extensive Henry Darger Study Archive, illustrating the primary role the coloring book played for this important twentieth-century artist.
Body Parts: Ancient Egyptian Fragments and Amulets - Brooklyn Museum
Body Parts features thirty-five objects that represent individual body parts in ancient Egyptian art from the Brooklyn Museum's collection, many of which will be displayed for the first time. While traditional exhibitions of ancient art focus on reconstructing damaged works, this exhibition uses fragmentary objects to illuminate the very realistic depiction of individual body parts in canonical Egyptian sculpture. The ancient Egyptians carefully depicted each part of the human body, respecting the significance of every detail. When viewed individually these sculptures and fragments reveal ancient notions of the body, as well as details of workmanship, frequently unnoticed in more complete sculptures.

Drawing upon a treasure-trove of stunning historical objects -- including ledger drawings, hoof ornaments, beaded bags, hide robes, paintings, and other objects -- and new pieces by contemporary Native artists, the exhibition reveals how horses shaped the social, economic, cultural, and spiritual foundations of American Indian life, particularly on the Great Plains.

Queensland canecutters Roo and Barney have spent the previous sixteen summers off in Sydney with their girlfriends, Olive and Nancy. Each year, Barney has ritualistically presented Olive (a barmaid) with a kewpie doll. Time has begun to take its toll, however, and this seventeenth summer is very different. After a bad season--which saw him lose his position as head canecutter to a younger man, Dowd--Roo quits the gang, leaving him without a job and short of money. His and Barney's friendship is subsequently tested when Barney decides to continue working under Dowd. In another change since their last visit, Nancy has married, and although Olive has arranged for Pearl, a manicurist, to move in with Barney, the new arrangement doesn't feel right. When Roo tries to persuade Olive to settle down with him in marriage after all these years, she at first refuses angrily but later accepts.
The film's screenplay moves the play's location from the Melbourne suburb of Carlton to Sydney. The theme of faded dreams is also weakened by a more optimistic ending.
The film was heavily criticised in Australia, largely in response to the changes in both the setting and the ending of Ray Lawler's play and the casting of non-Australian actors in the principal roles.

Family of 8 slain feared release of autopsy details
Related Stories
DeWine's office provided heavily redacted versions last fall. Attorney General Mike DeWine, whose office is leading the investigation, is fighting the release of the full reports, saying it could compromise the investigation.
(AP Photo/John Minchillo, File) In this May 3, 2016, file photo, mourners gather around caskets for six of the eight members of the Rhoden family found shot April 22, 2016, at four properties near Piketon, Ohio, during funeral services at Scioto Burial Park in McDermott, Ohio.
DeWine has said those responsible for the killings were familiar with the victims, their homes and the surrounding area in rural southern Ohio. His office, which is investigating along with the Pike County sheriff's office, has also said authorities are operating under the theory there were multiple attackers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Objections by family members did not directly influence a coroner's decision to shield full autopsy reports of eight relatives who were shot in their homes, the coroner said in a deposition filed Tuesday in the state Supreme Court.
Police search for answers after 8 Ohio relatives shot in the head
and 19-year-old Hanna Rhoden; Frankie Rhoden's fiancee, 20-year-old Hannah Gilley; and a cousin, 38-year-old Gary Rhoden. The other victims were Christopher Rhoden Sr.'s ex-wife, 37-year-old Dana Rhoden; their three children, 20-year-old Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden, 16-year-old Christopher Rhoden Jr.
His body was the last found by investigators. As has previously been reported, one victim, 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden, died of a single gunshot wound.

At issue in a case before the Supreme Court are lawsuits filed by the Columbus Dispatch and the Cincinnati Enquirer seeking the full, unredacted copies of the autopsy reports.
Kessler also said he didn't have conversations with criminal investigators about information he redacted in the full autopsy reports.
"I met with the next of kin of all the deceased, answered their questions, and after preliminary autopsy, and at that point, they were not wanting information to get out in the public about exactly how things happened," Kessler said.
The other victims were shot multiple times in the head and, in the case of 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr. — Kenneth Rhoden's brother — in his upper body and torso, as well.
DeWine's office has said Christopher Rhoden Sr. Authorities haven't announced a motive. "was operating a large-scale marijuana growing operation on his property," leading some to speculate the killings were drug-related.
Report an error
Evidence of injuries beyond the mention of gunshot wounds was also blacked out for all the victims. In the redacted autopsy reports, toxicology results, which could include the use of drugs or alcohol, were blacked out for all the victims.
Cockfighting clues found on slain Ohio family's property: Officials
The case involves seven adults and a teenage boy from the Rhoden family found shot to death at four homes near Piketon on April 22.
The redacted versions confirmed earlier accounts that all but one victim were shot multiple times in the head but otherwise provided few new details in the investigation.
"I do not want to release any information that might impede the criminal investigation or the families' grieving process," Kessler said in that July 22 statement. Kessler said the family's concerns were reflected in a statement he made in July regarding the release of the autopsies.
Relatives of those victims raised concerns about the release of details of how their loved ones died, Pike County Coroner David Kessler said in his deposition.

Depending on how your company chooses to configure the submittal workflow, your organization's Procore Adminstrator can decide whether your company's account in the Procore application is configured to use sequential approval (this is Procore's default setting) or parallel approval.
With sequential approval, all designated persons assigned as approvers by the creator (or the submittal manager) must submit their responses (see What are the default submittal responses in Procore?) in the order designated by the submittal workflow. Sequential approval is the default setting in Procore.
Let's assume a subcontractor creates a submittal and defines a list of approvers in the Submittal Workflow area. First, the project manager must approve the submittal. After the project manager approves the submittal, it must then approved by a project engineer. After it is approved by the project engineer, it must then be approved by the architect. This workflow requires approvals to be submitted in sequential order.
With parallel approval, all of the designated approvers can submit their responses concurrently. To enable the parallel approval workflow, your company's Procore Admin must submit a request to your Procore point of contact or to email@example.com. A Procore point of contact can then enable the feature in Procore for your company's account.
Let's assume a subcontractor creates a submittal and then sends it to a project manager for editing. The project manager then updates the submittal as needed, and then sends it to the entire design team for review. The approvers can then review and submit their individual responses at the same time and in any order.

This is Alicia. She is dynamite. I met her last week when I took her (sweat-inducing, amazing) Zumba class at the Monroe Arts Center (720 Monroe St).
Boy did I sweat during her class! If you are like me, you need a workout that gets you sweating but is not a borrrring gym routine (treadmill, lift, repeat). So that's why I am so happy to introduce Zumba Nation by Alicia.
Just a year ago, Alicia opened the doors to Zumba Nation teaching just ONE class a week at the Monroe Center. Now, with the help of her bubbly personality and true love of Zumba, she is teaching SIX days a week. Alicia travels to other places to teach her classes, and seems to truly love where this adventure has taken her!
Alicia says,
"When I started ZN [Zumba Nation], the thought was to make it about more than just going to Zumba Class…it was about building relationships…a FAMILY! ZumbaNation has even become active in the community. We call it "The Love of ZN"as we share our LOVE for Zumba with others beyond the classroom!
Some instructors may call it a JOB, but to me it is a privilege and a joy and I couldn't be happier! This year has truly been amazing and I know there is SO much more ahead of both myself & the individuals who will continue to journey with me!"
Alicia not only certified to teach Zumba Fitness and Zumba Toning, but also she recently became certified to teach "ZumbAtomic" which allows her to share the zumba program with children. Talk about a fun gym class!
A girl after my own heart, Alicia uses her business to reach out philanthropically to the community as well. Alicia and her ZNers have been at the Hoboken Homeless Shelter's opening ceremonies for the JDRF Race (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) at Liberty State Park and The Just 4U Children's Expo to name a few.
Upcoming events for ZN by A [Zumba Nation by Alicia if you haven't figured that out] include June 10th's For Hayden in Hoboken [a baby suffering with a serious heart condition] and July 7th's Stars, Stripes & Zumba Event in South Jersey where Alicia will be raising money for Juvenile Diabetes (more info HERE).
Here's a sampling of ZN by A's busy Zumba Calendar for June:
It truly is a fabulous, upbeat workout that will make you sweat. I speak from personal experience…The music is fresh and you'll recognize most of it (mixed with a bit of Latin flava). Classes are only $10 each, and if you bring friends you get amazing discounts ($5 for bringing 1 friend, FREE if you bring 2 friends, etc)!
Check out ZN by A on Facebook and Twitter as well – Besides being an amazing fitness instructor, Alicia is a social media butterfly!
Have you Zumba-ed with Alicia? How did you like it?

Stardust: The Bette Davis Story Trailer (2006)
A standard biography of the famed actress recounting her childhood, early films and her rise to stardom. Her father abandoned the family when she was quite young and she remained close to her domineering mother. As she became more popular she had many fights with Jack Warner, the head of Warner Brothers studio, but eventually managed to exert greater control over her career. She was nominated for several Oscars. Her private life life included several failed marriages and she was deeply hurt when her daughter, who was her closest companion for several years, wrote a tell-all and unflattering memoir of her life.

Good discussion over at Scott's Diatribes on Harper's hyper-religious nature impacting all his policy... Thought the issue deserves some more attention, so we'll post our response to the blog here. See Diatribes for more responses on a very good blogpost and discussion - a discussion WE MUST HAVE right now:
We certainly cannot sit back and allow the public to think that some of Harper's wacko right ideas are "okay". By not standing up in Parliament and opposing NeoCon views on human rights, women's and minority rights, immigration, equal marriage, foreign affairs, the environment, and urban issues, and doing it vociferously, we are basically saying "yes, go ahead and move Canada to the right".
The public DOES feel a certain (Centrist) way in Canada, but a whole lot of influence from a government that advertises their views on Canadians' buck, and the relentless nature of it - with no clear dissenting view in Parliament - WILL have the effect Harper and his NeoCon henchmen wish.
The average "Joe Public" will see the only view is the Conservative one (right or wrong). There is enough "dumbing down" in the Conservative message, that makes people without a clue think they'll be helped by them (I've seen people on welfare with Conservative lawn signs - idiotic, yes, but part and parcel of the massive misinformation campaign going on right now. I can tell you that I'm going to eventually kill your funding, bury it on page 1000 of my budget, then pose with your cousin in a Tim's, or in the stands of a hockey game/sporting event, and - voila! - I get your vote.
That's the Harper delusion (over the masses). Don't look at my policy, and how EVERY PART of it specifically impacts you. I'm a "populist". Watch me pose with my Tims (shameless corporate plug by our PM), and believe me (please) when I tell you that I'm a beer and pizza guy... It's a play right out of the US NeoCon movement playbook. False populism.
We need to wake up and do better. We have taken strides with the first step: actually opposing.
We will be taking advantage of our "renewed opposition status", and there is a strong likelihood we will begin to stand up for our moderate liberal ideals on a more regular basis. We can see it in the environment issue. We are seeing it with the Pink Book. Stay tuned for more. We're only just getting started!

What would you think of me if I told you that at least 80% of my current wardrobe consists of previously owned items? That includes coats, jackets, jeans, tops, most of my dresses and sweaters. Would you think that I am thrifty and smart or poor and unfashionable? Well, do you know that an average American household spends $1,700 on clothing a year, while owing an average of $6,000 in credit card debt? An average person in NYC eats out 3 times a week, 'grabs a drink' at least once a week and buys 4 out of 5 lunches a week.
I don't like spending money. It literally physically hurts me if I need to spend more than $20 on something that is not 'a need'. At the same time, that $20 can't even buy anything when it comes to brand new clothing that would be of quality or any sort of style. Now, what would you say if you could take that $20 and buy yourself an almost brand new Donna Karan coat at a second hand clothes store? How about Chloe bag for $25 or Broadway&Broome silk dress for $13? How about if I told you that all of that 80% that I mentioned above are high quality designer clothes worn at most a few times (or sometimes brand new with a tag) before I snatched them for anywhere between $9 – $25 a piece? Yeah, who is laughing now!?
I have been buying clothes at second hand stores for at least 5-6 years now. While I am not an expert, I am happy to share with you what I have learnt so far. Read on for a simple guide to NYC used and trendy clothes shopping (in a thrift store).
Tips & Tricks:
- Stop by often to maximize the chances you will find something great
- Buy things only if you absolutely love them. Every day there are new things put on the racks so if you don't find something you love today – tomorrow you will
- Review clothing carefully for tears (especially lining, missing buttons, or torn zippers)
- Ask for discount if faulty (and if you really want it anyway). I usually would ask for a discount and never heard a 'no' so far!
- If you find a brand new item with a tag (I am known to find black label Ralph Lauren cashmere treats with tags of $325 at Crossroads), and it happens not to be your style or size, snatch it to resell on e-bay to make a nice profit
- Just like with other things, set up a budget and don't go over it (just because the items are much cheaper). When literally everything is 75-90%% cheaper than at a regular store, it is just too easy to go overboard
My most favorite second hand clothes stores in the NYC area are:
Crossroads Trading
At one point, when I was trying to build my wardrobe, I would stop by at Crossroads almost every day after work. It is literally my most favorite store and it is very rare that I am not able to find something that I want to buy. Since Crossroads buys in / consigns new clothes and shoes every day, no matter how ofter you shop there, you will always see new items and new styles. Of course most of the items are 'one and only' so if you absolutely love something, you shall grab it when you can as most likely it will not be there tomorrow!
Crossroads has currently 32 locations so check it out if you are lucky to have one close to you.
Buffalo Exchange
Buffalo was the first second hand store in Willy that I discovered (thanks to the PG Girl) and this is where I got 'hooked'. I like the vibe of the store, and the attitude (and looks!) of the sales attendants. They are very Williamsburg-ish (for those who are not sure what I mean, I mean "hipster-ish" looking with some awesome tattoos).
Buffalo currently has 31 locations within the US.
Crossroads & Buffalo Exchange:
- At both you will find clothing sizes 00 – 10 (have not seen bigger sizes)
- At both you will find well known and 'timeless' designers' clothing as well as new and aspiring local designers'
- At both you can sell and buy. Sell for 50% store credit or 30% cash
- At both you will also find jewelry, belts, hats and scarves
- While Buffalo organizes their stuff by sizes, Crossroads organizes theirs by colors
Other second hand clothing stores
Housing Works Thrift Store
I literally have this one right downstairs in the building where I work in SoHo, Manhattan. While I do occasionally stop by, I probably purchased 2 items there within the last 3 years or so. I just never happen to see anything interesting although my friend L. happened to get a few nice deals. The prices also seem much higher than I am willing to pay. Oh well, it is in Manhattan after all.
Beacon's Closet
Do you watch 'Broad City'? Fist of all, if you don't, then get trial Hulu for a week and start watching now. Nothing or noone really describes New York quite as much as Abby and Alana. Warning: you will be shocked at some scenes, but let me tell you they are as real reflection of New York as they show it.
Anyway, one of the episodes has a few scenes taking place at Beacon's in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Holly Molly, was it hilarious and described Beacon's for what it really is. Unpleasant sales attendants who, when you sell clothing, will go piece after piece for 20 minutes each, asking you to literally step back and not look at them. If you sell, especially really expensive pieces, be prepared to be offered only 10-5% value. If you start making comments (asking to be paid more) your clothing may end up on a floor. Selling aside, when buying, you can get some great deals.
Do YOU shop at second hand stores for clothing and shoes? What are your favorite ones? What is an average price of the clothing that they sell?

So last week a huge bombshell erupted as we saw the results of the USA elections and many are still worrying about the effect this will have not only on the USA, but to the whole world as well. To AIESEC as well.
But there is one thing that is for certain:
We will move on as a movement that is shaping the future leaders for this world regardless of the challenges, pressures and influence we are facing, because we are taking a stand for the things that matter and positive impact in the last 68 years.
Because we have been Demonstrating Integrity and we live Integrity as our core value. And we have been doing this from the beginning.
And this is not the first time we had to prove that we are worth the values that we are standing for.
AIESEC was born in an era of division and lack of understanding and communication, an era when fear of a global conflict was at a tipping point and that lasted for more then 4 decades. An era when people were divided and many societies isolated. And yet we stood strong and developed young people, we built bridges of trust where walls of fear separated people.
And so many other challenges we overcame and we didn't fail in our mission, we didn't spoil our purpose and most of all: we didn't give in.
This is something that is admirable. Even I joined AIESEC because I saw what did it mean to Demonstrate Integrity and here is how: Because back then there was a political ruling party that approached AIESEC on my campus in order to create a partnership. This partnership was meant to connect them members of AIESEC with the political party on a very discrete way and in return AIESEC would get all the support for our products, projects and activities, both financial and by endorsements and connections. Now since all of this is happening in a Eastern European country in development where greed and corruption are a everyday reality, this is something that would be usual for youth lead organizations, something that happens on a regular basis.
But not for AIESEC.
Because we are THE Youth Leadership Movement. And we stand for something more. And we defined that in our VALUES.
The proposition was refused, they found another youth organization that was obedient and took the proposal, and we continued to struggle with our resources and to face challenges in order to gain support and be more relevant. But we were true to ourselves and our values. This party later on lost the elections and vanished, as did many others before. Heck, even the my country where AIESEC was established changed the name 5 times in the last 7 decades.
Leaders come and go, but AIESEC with it's idea stays for good.
So, don't be afraid about the future days and events, but think how you should act and how we as a Youth Leadership Movement will shape that future for the better and how our Values will drive us by doing it.

text: I already know the moral of the story, so no wise cracks, just a little help fixing it please. I've been using using Hiberns wiiflow since 1st beta, loaded from preloader and everything worked fine, all the games on the hdd loaded perfectly. I obtained GH5 and read that it would work with usbloader_gx (that I already had and worked fine) along with hermes 223 36 merged 37. So I did that rebooted, wii loaded wiiflow as it should, tried GH5 in that, didn't work as I'd expected (black screen - hang - power off). Then I load usbloader_gx went to game load and changed ti iso 223 and error 02 on - didn't work, black screen. But now I can't use any usbloader, as soon as I load one it just hangs with black screen? I've tried many combinations of merges and in desperation ( ) re-installed old nand dump, but no luck.

In 1991 I traveled with college friends from FLA to DC to march against the Gulf War, and one our friends took us to a small Paella restaurant in the DC area. The food was incredible, with huge plates of paella and pitchers of Sangria that was out of this world... I'm not sure where it was located, except that I think it was across the street from a greyhound station.
I'm going with my family to DC this weekend and have been searching for this place on line. Does anyone remember this place, and is it still around?
Thanks in advance!
