Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (Yoruba: Oluwo̩lé S̩óyinká, pronounced "Shoyinka") (born 13 July 1934) is a Nigerian writer, notable especially as a playwright and poet; he was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature,1 the first person in Africa to be so honoured.
Soyinka was born into a Yoruba family in Abeokuta. After study in Nigeria and the UK, he worked with the Royal Court Theatre in London. He went on to write plays that were produced in both countries, in theatres and on radio. He took an active role in Nigeria's political history and its struggle for independence from Great Britain. In 1965, he seized the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio and broadcast a demand for the cancellation of the Western Nigeria Regional Elections. In 1967 during the Nigerian Civil War, he was arrested by the federal government of General Yakubu Gowon and put in solitary confinement for two years.2
Soyinka has strongly criticised many Nigerian military dictators, especially late General Sanni Abacha, as well as other political tyrannies, including the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe. Much of his writing has been concerned with "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the colour of the foot that wears it".3 During the regime of General Sani Abacha (1993–98), Soyinka escaped from Nigeria via the "Nadeco Route" on a motorcycle. Living abroad, mainly in the United States, he was a professor first at Cornell University and then at Emory University in Atlanta, where in 1996 he was appointed Robert W. Woodruff Professor of the Arts. Abacha proclaimed a death sentence against him "in absentia". With civilian rule restored to Nigeria in 1999, Soyinka returned to his nation. He has also taught at the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Yale.45
From 1975 to 1999, he was a Professor of Comparative Literature at the Obafemi Awolowo University, then called the University of Ife. With civilian rule restored in 1999, he was made professor emeritus.2 Soyinka has been a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In the fall of 2007 he was appointed Professor in Residence at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, US.2
Life and work
Early life and education
A descendant of a Remo family of Isara-Remo, Soyinka was born the second of six children, in the city of Abẹokuta, Ogun State in Nigeria, at that time a British dominion. His father, Samuel Ayodele Soyinka (whom he called S.A. or "Essay"), was an Anglican minister and the headmaster of St. Peters School in Abẹokuta. Soyinka's mother, Grace Eniola Soyinka (whom he dubbed the "Wild Christian"), owned a shop in the nearby market. She was a political activist within the women's movement in the local community. She was also Anglican. As much of the community followed indigenous Yorùbá religious tradition, Soyinka grew up in an atmosphere of religious syncretism, with influences from both cultures. While he was raised in a religious family; attending church services and singing in the choir from an early age; Soyinka himself became an atheist.67 His father's position enabled him to get electricity and radio at home.
His mother was one of the most prominent members of the influential Ransome-Kuti family: she was the daughter of Rev. Canon J. J. Ransome-Kuti, and sister to Olusegun Azariah Ransome-Kuti, Oludotun Ransome-Kuti and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti. Among Soyinka's cousins were the musician Fela Kuti, the human rights activist Beko Ransome-Kuti, politician Olikoye Ransome-Kuti and activist Yemisi Ransome-Kuti.8
In 1940, after attending St. Peters Primary School in Abeokuta, Soyinka went to Abẹokuta Grammar School, where he won several prizes for literary composition. In 1946 he was accepted by Government College in Ibadan, at that time one of Nigeria's elite secondary schools.
After finishing his course at Government College in 1952, he began studies at University College in Ibadan (1952–54), affiliated with the University of London. He studied English literature, Greek, and Western history. In the year 1953–54, his second and last at University College, Ibadan, Soyinka began work on "Keffi's Birthday Threat," a short radio play for Nigerian Broadcasting Service. It was broadcast in July 1954. While at university, Soyinka and six others founded the Pyrates Confraternity, an anti-corruption and justice-seeking student organisation, the first confraternity in Nigeria. Soyinka gives a detailed account of his early life in his memoir Aké: The Years of Childhood.
Later in 1954, Soyinka relocated to England, where he continued his studies in English literature, under the supervision of his mentor Wilson Knight at the University of Leeds (1954–57). He met numerous young, gifted British writers. Before defending his B.A., Soyinka began publishing and worked as an editor for the satirical magazine The Eagle. He wrote a column on academic life, often criticising his university peers.
Early career
After graduating, he remained in Leeds with the intention of earning an M.A. Soyinka intended to write new work combining European theatrical traditions with those of his Yorùbá cultural heritage. His first major play, The Swamp Dwellers (1958), was followed a year later by The Lion and the Jewel, a comedy that attracted interest from several members of London's Royal Court Theatre. Encouraged, Soyinka moved to London, where he worked as a play reader for the Royal Court Theatre. During the same period, both of his plays were performed in Ibadan. They dealt with the uneasy relationship between progress and tradition in Nigeria.9
In 1957 his play The Invention was the first of his works to be produced at the Royal Court Theatre. At that time his only published works were poems such as "The Immigrant" and "My Next Door Neighbour", which were published in the Nigerian magazine Black Orpheus.10 This was founded in 1957 by the German scholar Ulli Beier, who had been teaching at the University of Ibadan since 1950.11
Soyinka received a Rockefeller Research Fellowship from University College in Ibadan, his alma mater, for research on African theatre, and he returned to Nigeria. He produced his new satire, The Trials of Brother Jero. His work A Dance of The Forest (1960), a biting criticism of Nigeria's political elites, won a contest that year as the official play for Nigerian Independence Day. On 1 October 1960, it premiered in Lagos as Nigeria celebrated its sovereignty. The play satirizes the fledgling nation by showing that the present is no more a golden age than was the past. Also in 1960, Soyinka established the "Nineteen-Sixty Masks", an amateur acting ensemble to which he devoted considerable time over the next few years.
Soyinka wrote the first full-length play produced on Nigerian television. The Play, titled My Father's Burden, directed by Segun Olusola was featured on the Western Nigeria Television (WNTV) on August 6, 1960.1213 Soyinka published works satirising the "Emergency" in the Western Region of Nigeria, as his Yorùbá homeland was increasingly occupied and controlled by the federal government. The political tensions arising from recent post-colonial independence eventually led to a military coup and civil war (1967–70).
With the Rockefeller grant, Soyinka bought a Land Rover. He began travelling throughout the country as a researcher with the Department of English Language of the University College in Ibadan. In an essay of the time, he criticised Leopold Senghor's Négritude movement as a nostalgic and indiscriminate glorification of the black African past that ignores the potential benefits of modernisation. "A tiger does not shout its tigritude," he declared, "it acts." In In Death and the King Horsemen he states: "The elephant trails no tethering-rope; that king is not yet crowned who will peg an elephant."
In December 1962, his essay "Towards a True Theater" was published. He began teaching with the Department of English Language at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ifẹ. Soyinka discussed current affairs with "négrophiles," and on several occasions openly condemned government censorship. At the end of 1963, his first feature-length movie, Culture in Transition, was released. In April 1964 The Interpreters, "a complex but also vividly documentary novel",14 was published in London.
That December, together with scientists and men of theatre, Soyinka founded the Drama Association of Nigeria. In 1964 he also resigned his university post, as a protest against imposed pro-government behaviour by authorities. A few months later, he was arrested for the first time, accused of underlying tapes during reproduction of recorded speech of the winner of Nigerian elections.clarification needed He was released after a few months of confinement, as a result of protests by the international community of writers. This same year he wrote two more dramatic pieces: Before the Blackout and the comedy Kongi's Harvest. He also wrote The Detainee, a radio play for the BBC in London. His play The Road premiered in London at the Commonwealth Arts Festival,15 opening on 14 September 1965 at the Theatre Royal.16 At the end of the year, he was promoted to headmaster and senior lecturer in the Department of English Language at University of Lagos.
Soyinka's political speeches at that time criticised the cult of personality and government corruption in African dictatorships. In April 1966 his play Kongi's Harvest was produced in revival at the World Festival of Negro Arts in Dakar, Senegal. The Road was awarded the Grand Prix. In June 1965, Soyinka produced his play The Lion and The Jewel for Hampstead Theatre Club in London.
Civil war and imprisonment
After becoming chief of the Cathedral of Drama at the University of Ibadan, Soyinka became more politically active. Following the military coup of January 1966, he secretly and unofficially met with the military governor Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in the Southeastern town of Enugu (August 1967), to try to avert civil war. As a result, he had to go into hiding.
He was imprisoned for 22 months17 as civil war ensued between the federal government and the Biafrans. Though refused materials such as books, pens, and paper, he still wrote a significant body of poems and notes criticising the Nigerian government.18
Despite his imprisonment, in September 1967, his play The Lion and The Jewel was produced in Accra. In November The Trials of Brother Jero and The Strong Breed were produced in the Greenwich Mews Theatre in New York. He also published a collection of his poetry, Idanre and Other Poems. It was inspired by Soyinka's visit to the sanctuary of the Yorùbá deity Ogun, whom he regards as his "companion" deity, kindred spirit, and protector.18
In 1968, the Negro Ensemble Company in New York produced Kongi's Harvest. While still imprisoned, Soyinka translated from Yoruba a fantastical novel by his compatriot D. O. Fagunwa, called The Forest of a Thousand Demons: A Hunter's Saga.
Release and literary production
In October 1969, when the civil war came to an end, amnesty was proclaimed, and Soyinka and other political prisoners were freed. For the first few months after his release, Soyinka stayed at a friend's farm in southern France, where he sought solitude. He wrote The Bacchae of Euripides (1969), a reworking of the Pentheus myth.19 He soon published in London a book of poetry, Poems from Prison. At the end of the year, he returned to his office as Headmaster of Cathedral of Drama in Ibadan, and cooperated in the founding of the literary periodical Black Orpheus (likely named after the 1959 film directed by Marcel Camus and set in the favela of Rio de Janeiro.)
In 1970 he produced the play Kongi's Harvest, while simultaneously adapting it as a film by the same title. In June 1970, he finished another play, called Madman and Specialists. Together with the group of fifteen actors of Ibadan University Theatre Art Company, he went on a trip to the United States, to the Eugene O'Neill Memorial Theatre Center in Waterford, Connecticut, where his latest play premiered. It gave them all experience with theatrical production in another English-speaking country.
In 1971, his poetry collection A Shuttle in the Crypt was published. Madmen and Specialists was produced in Ibadan that year. Soyinka travelled to Paris to take the lead role as Patrice Lumumba, the murdered first Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo, in the production of his Murderous Angels. His powerful autobiographical work The Man Died (1971), a collection of notes from prison, was also published.
In April 1971, concerned about the political situation in Nigeria, Soyinka resigned from his duties at the University in Ibadan, and began years of voluntary exile. In July in Paris, excerpts from his well-known play The Dance of The Forests were performed.
In 1972, he was awarded an Honoris Causa doctorate by the University of Leeds. Soon thereafter, his novel Season of Anomy (1972) and his Collected Plays (1972) were both published by Oxford University Press. In 1973 the National Theatre, London, commissioned and premiered the play The Bacchae of Euripides.19 In 1973 his plays Camwood on the Leaves and Jero's Metamorphosis were first published. From 1973 to 1975, Soyinka spent time on scientific studies.clarification needed He spent a year as a visiting fellow at Churchill College Cambridge Universityclarification needed1973-74 and wrote Death and the King's Horseman, which had its first reading at Churchill College (which Dapo Ladimeji and Skip Gates attended), and gave a series of lectures at a number of European universities.
In 1974 his Collected Plays, Volume II was issued by Oxford University Press. In 1975 Soyinka was promoted to the position of editor for Transition, a magazine based in the Ghanaian capital of Accra, where he moved for some time. He used his columns in Transition to criticise the "negrophiles" (for instance, his article "Neo-Tarzanism: The Poetics of Pseudo-Transition") and military regimes. He protested against the military junta of Idi Amin in Uganda. After the political turnover in Nigeria and the subversion of Gowon's military regime in 1975, Soyinka returned to his homeland and resumed his position at the Cathedral of Comparative Literature at the University of Ife.
In 1976 he published his poetry collection Ogun Abibiman, as well as a collection of essays entitled Myth, Literature and the African World. In these, Soyinka explores the genesis of mysticism in African theatre and, using examples from both European and African literature, compares and contrasts the cultures. He delivered a series of guest lectures at the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana in Legon. In October, the French version of The Dance of The Forests was performed in Dakar, while in Ife, his Death and The King's Horseman premiered.
In 1977 Opera Wọnyọsi, his adaptation of Bertold Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, was staged in Ibadan. In 1979 he both directed and acted in Jon Blair and Norman Fenton's drama The Biko Inquest, a work based on the life of Steve Biko, a South African student and human rights activist who was beaten to death by apartheid police forces. In 1981 Soyinka published his autobiographical work Ake: The Years of Childhood, which won a 1983 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award.
Soyinka founded another theatrical group called the Guerrilla Unit. Its goal was to work with local communities in analyzing their problems and to express some of their grievances in dramatic sketches. In 1983 his play Requiem for a Futurologist had its first performance at the University of Ife. In July, one of Soyinka's musical projects, the Unlimited Liability Company, issued a long-playing record entitled I Love My Country, on which several prominent Nigerian musicians played songs composed by Soyinka. In 1984, he directed the film Blues for a Prodigal; his new play A Play of Giants was produced the same year.
During the years 1975–84, Soyinka was also more politically active. At the University of Ife, his administrative duties included the security of public roads. He criticized the corruption in the government of the democratically elected President Shehu Shagari. When he was replaced by the general Muhammadu Buhari, Soyinka was often at odds with the military. In 1984, a Nigerian court banned his 1971 book The Man Died. In 1985, his play Requiem for a Futurologist was published in London.
Since 1986
Soyinka was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986,2021 becoming the first African laureate. He was described as one "who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence". Reed Way Dasenbrock writes that the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Soyinka is "likely to prove quite controversial and thoroughly deserved." He also notes that "it is the first Nobel Prize awarded to an African writer or to any writer from the 'new literatures' in English that have emerged in the former colonies of the British Empire."22 His Nobel acceptance speech, "This Past Must Address Its Present", was devoted to South African freedom-fighter Nelson Mandela. Soyinka's speech was an outspoken criticism of apartheid and the politics of racial segregation imposed on the majority by the Nationalist South African government. In 1986, he received the Agip Prize for Literature.
In 1988, his collection of poems Mandela's Earth, and Other Poems was published, while in Nigeria another collection of essays entitled Art, Dialogue and Outrage: Essays on Literature and Culture appeared. In the same year, Soyinka accepted the position of Professor of African Studies and Theatre at Cornell University.23 In 1990, the second portion of his memoir Isara: A Voyage Around Essay appeared. In July 1991 the BBC African Service transmitted his radio play A Scourge of Hyacinths, and the next year (1992) in Sienna (Italy), his play From Zia with Love had its premiere. Both works are very bitter political parodies, based on events that took place in Nigeria in the 1980s. In 1993 Soyinka was awarded an honorary doctorate from Harvard University. The next year another part of his autobiography appeared: Ibadan: The Penkelemes Years (A Memoir: 1946–1965). The following year his play The Beatification of Area Boy was published. In October 1994, he was appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the Promotion of African culture, human rights, freedom of expression, media and communication.
In November 1994, Soyinka fled from Nigeria through the border with Benin and then to the United States. In 1996 his book The Open Sore of a Continent: A Personal Narrative of the Nigerian Crisis was first published. In 1997 he was charged with treason by the government of General Sani Abacha. The International Parliament of Writers (IPW) was established in 1993 to provide support for writers victimized by persecution. Soyinka became the organization's second president from 1997 to 2000.2425 In 1999 a new volume of poems by Soyinka, entitled Outsiders, was released. His play King Baabu, premiered in Lagos in 2001,26 a political satire on the theme of African dictatorship.26 In 2002 a collection of his poems, Samarkand and Other Markets I Have Known, was published by Methuen. In April 2006, his memoir You Must Set Forth at Dawn was published by Random House. In 2006 he cancelled his keynote speech for the annual S.E.A. Write Awards Ceremony in Bangkok to protest the Thai military's successful coup against the government.27
In April 2007 Soyinka called for the cancellation of the Nigerian presidential elections held two weeks earlier, beset by widespread fraud and violence. In the wake of the Christmas Day (2009) bombing attempt on a flight to the US by a Nigerian student who had become radicalised in Britain, Soyinka questioned the United Kingdom's social logic that allows every religion to openly proselytise their faith, asserting that it is being abused by religious fundamentalists thereby turning England into a cesspit for the breeding of extremism. He supported the freedom of worship but warned against the consequence of the illogic of allowing religions to preach apocalyptic violence.28
Legacy and honours

College to open new Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach: Gerald Benjamin to lead
NEW PALTZ -- The State University of New York at New Paltz has created a new Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach (CRREO) on the New Paltz campus, which will be directed by Gerald Benjamin, current dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The center will serve as the principal locus of the college's efforts to raise its level of engagement within communities, government and businesses across the Hudson Valley.
Gerald Benjamin
Providing knowledge and expertise to help state and local government best serve the citizenry and fostering opportunities for collaboration with surrounding communities and organizations have long been core purposes of superior public universities in the United States. In this tradition, the Center will marshal existing intellectual resources from across the academic units of SUNY New Paltz and focus these in service to the region and New York state.
"Although for many years New Paltz has supplied faculty expertise and talented graduates across the Hudson Valley," said College President Steven Poskanzer, "this new center will let us raise the visibility and impact of such intellectual engagement to a whole new level. When we decided to create the Center, one name – and one name only – leapt to mind as the perfect leader. Over the last three decades Gerald Benjamin has compiled an unmatched record as a profoundly influential scholar and commentator of New York government, as a committed public servant and community leader, and as a prominent political ambassador of the college."
Poskanzer noted as well that the new center will help advance the institution's effort to "become a cultural and intellectual hub of the mid-Hudson Region," a top college goal articulated in his 2005 State of the College address.
According to Benjamin, the center's portfolio will include, but will not be limited to: conducting and publicizing research on regional topics; encouraging faculty to build regionally-based service activity into their scholarship and teaching; creation/direction of one or more institutes focused on specific topics of regional interest; leading the college's academic outreach to local governments, non-profits and for-profit organizations; and creating programs to train newly-elected regional officials. The center will also house the college's existing Regional Education programs under the new leadership of dean Helise Winters.
In order to effectively direct the Center, Benjamin, who is known throughout New York state as an expert on state and local government, will assume additional titles of CRREO Director and Associate Vice President for Regional Engagement. He will be stepping down as dean in May 2008 after a very successful 12-year run in the position. A search for Benjamin's successor is already underway.
"Public service must be at the core of the mission of any great public university," said Benjamin. "We have a truly distinguished college with a fine record of leadership and service in the Hudson Valley. I have long been an advocate for the creation of a regional center at New Paltz to focus and advance our efforts in this area of our mission. It has been deeply rewarding to spend my academic career in the Hudson Valley and, in recent years, to lead the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I am excited now to be called upon to provide leadership for this new SUNY New Paltz initiative."
Gerald Benjamin was named by the SUNY trustees in 2002 as Distinguished Professor of the University in Political Science. He was an elected member of the Ulster County Legislature from 1981 to 1993 and during that time served as both majority leader and chairman. Dean Benjamin has been involved in a number of major efforts to reform state and local government New York State. He chaired the commission that proposed the first charter for Ulster County, N.Y., adopted by popular vote in November 2006. Benjamin was appointed to New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer's Commission on Local Government Efficiency in 2007.
Winters, who has been associate dean of Continuing and Professional Education and director of Extension and Distance Learning for nine years, said that for many years New Paltz has been performing community outreach to serve the region through its graduate programs and advising, summer session, alliances with teacher centers, extension and distance learning, doctoral program and the Language Immersion Institute.
Winters also serves on the Academic Affairs Committee, the Budget, Goals and Plans Committee and the Academic Senate at the college.
"Helise is a wise, practical leader who knows how to develop programs that expand people's life opportunities," said Poskanzer. "She is going to be a wonderful dean of Regional Education."
Located in the heart of a dynamic college town, 90 minutes from metropolitan New York City, the State University of New York at New Paltz is a highly selective college of about 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
One of the most well-regarded public colleges in the nation, New Paltz delivers an extraordinary number of majors in Business, Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Fine and Performing Arts and Education.
New Paltz embraces its culture as a community where talented and independent minded people from around the world create close personal links with real scholars and artists who love to teach.

Alienware m9700 review
Alienware is usually quick off the starting blocks when it comes to a new graphics configuration or technology, but with the m9700 it stands out for another reason -- it's decked out in a rather garish shade of Cyborg Green. It's difficult to fault the core spec, though -- 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz processor -- and its 17-inch display is great for gaming Read more

Aliens: Colonial Marines review
Faithful alien character design, original score and sound effects, interior ship levels wonderfully lit, first-person shooting thrills, when the game opens up and explores stealth and exploration mid-campaign it becomes original and engaging, play as aliens in multiplayer
AI can be dumb, lacks the required scares, repetitive gameplay, levels often based in same landscape, story lacks engagement, some character and checkpoint glitches
Alien is one of 20th centry's all-time classic movies. In that typical Hollywood style it's spawned sequels, a prequel in the shape of Prometheus - so what was that all about? - and, of course, its fair share of video games. The latest of which is Aliens:... read the full review.

- My question is not addressed here. How do I find the answer?
May I come to the Museum without my card?
Yes. When you arrive at the Museum, simply present a photo ID at the Membership Services Desk. You are encouraged to show your membership card and photo ID whenever possible, to be admitted more quickly.
TopI think I have lost my membership cards or never received them. What do I do?
Call the Membership Department at 713.639.7550 or notify staff at one of the Membership Services Desks. We will send you a replacement card.
TopHow many cards do I receive?
When you receive your membership card packet by mail, you will find one large card and a series of keychain cards. The keychain cards include a miniature version of your membership card and two coupons, good for one-time use at the MFAH Shop and MFAH Films. For your identity protection in the event that your key chain is lost or stolen, only your membership ID number appears on the mini membership card.
TopMay I bring a guest to member preview parties and events?
As a benefit, members enjoy an exclusive peek at selected exhibitions before the shows open to the general public. All membership events—including preview parties—may be attended by the individual(s) covered in the membership level.
TopCan I get in free at other museums?
At the Patron level, MFAH Members receive reciprocal membership benefits at more than 30 museums throughout the United States including the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Art Institute of Chicago, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Members at the Supporting level and above also participate in the Texas Museum Reciprocal Program, which provides complimentary general admission to most museums in Texas.
At this time, there is not a level that provides membership to all the rich and diverse museums in Houston. For more information about other local museums, visit the Houston Museum District Association website.
TopMay I give my card to someone else to use?
Your membership card and privileges are nontransferable. They are valid only for the person(s) named on the membership account.
TopMay my adult children who are in college or in their 20s use my Family-level membership?
No. Family-level memberships (and above) are valid for two adults and children between the ages of 5 and 18. If you have a child who is 19 or older, consider purchasing a membership in your child's name. Student memberships are only $45, and Individual memberships are $60.
TopAre there any special organizations for young people at the MFAH?
MFAH Members in their 20s and 30s are invited to join Art Crowd, a group of young arts patrons who gather regularly for a lively mix of art and entertainment. For more information or to join, call 713.639.7551.
TopMy company has a matching-gifts program. Is the MFAH eligible to receive the matching gift?
Yes. The Internal Revenue Service has identified the MFAH as a nonprofit organization and therefore eligible to receive your company's matching gift. Please fill out the form you have obtained from your company. Matching gifts may be applied at any time during the 12 months of your membership. Please note that matching gifts may not be used to upgrade memberships.
TopHow can I stay informed about exhibitions, programming, and events?
A periodic e-newsletter is sent to all members who share their e-mail addresses with us. Content includes information about upcoming events, breaking reports, and exhibition openings. It is the best way to remain up to date on timely Museum news. Please provide your e-mail address during the 12 months of your membership. We do not share e-mail addresses and you may opt-out of this service at any time.
Additionally, the bimonthly MFAH Calendar publication will be mailed to your home. Visit mfah.org often for comprehensive Museum information, and mfah.org/calendar for updated event schedules.
How do I become more involved with the MFAH?
There are several ways to be involved with the Museum. For example, you may wish to volunteer, become a docent, join one of the patron groups, or donate to the annual fund. Please call the Membership Department at 713.639.7550 during business hours for more information. We'll be happy to recommend an area in line with your interests.
TopHave MFAH membership benefits changed?
Previously, invitations to members preview parties mentioned that each invitation "admitted two individuals." Now invitations state that the event may be attended by the "number of individuals covered in the membership level." This change affects only members at the Student and Individual levels.
TopWhen will I receive my membership cards?
Allow four to six weeks after purchasing your membership for your cards to arrive. If you have not received your cards by then, please visit one of the Membership Services Desks (located in the lobbies of the Museum) or call the Membership Department at 713.639.7550.
TopMy question is not addressed here. How do I find the answer?
Please drop an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Membership Department during office hours: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekend e-mails will be answered the following Monday.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
The Fendi O' party has become such a fashion week staple—usually with a surprise performance—that when the label hadn't planned anything for this Paris Fall season, it was disappointment all around. Enter last night's little get-together, called F', at Le Montana. It may have been a Lagerfeld-free affair, but that didn't seem to bother the mix of models and curiously cute French boys dancing in the smoky, sweaty, and packed-like-sardines basement of the club. Alexa Chung was on the tables, and mixing it up on the dance floor last night were Jefferson Hack, Anouck Lepère (dancing separately, gossipers), Isabeli Fontana and Eniko Mihalik (left), and Alexia Niedzielski.
Jessica Stam and her stylist J. Logan Horne took care of the live-music element themselves, having just come from seeing Katy Perry play at The Senate—just part of a pretty enviable-sounding day that included lunch at Ralph's and a visit with Azzedine Alaïa between fittings. "We always visit him when we come to Paris," said Stam. "He's one of the reasons I'm still modeling."
On a night of many parties, this was just a stop for many. Alexander Wang and his friend-slash-interiors-guru Ryan Korban—in Paris hunting for a showroom space that Wang hopes to have open by Resort season in May—arrived after Alice Dellal's live performance-cum-soirée had died down. "It's another reason to come to Paris," Wang explained. "Though I will never have enough reasons to come to Paris." And then it was on to the next party. "Are you going to Stella?" he asked.

— Posted by Mark on December 15, 2011
We're well into week 4 of our 2011-12 season. This week and last the patrol's been pretty involved on two fronts.
First, our rookie patrollers are into their second week of training. I spent today with them teaching our basic avalanche class. There's nothing like organizing classes, juggling speakers, and keeping a group of patrollers engaged while INSIDE (our least favorite place) on a nice day to really wear me out. I must give a nod to the several senior patrollers and some great outside talent (Craig Gordon of the Utah Avalanche Center) who put together wonderful presentations to help with the day. Our field day is next. If you're on the mountain tomorrow you'll see them skiing around digging holes or working with rescue gear. You may even hear the report of the first shots of the year as part of their explosives training.
Our second front involves working with our limited open terrain and constantly trying to get more open every day. The cold night temps have allowed our snowmakers to lay down (literally) tons of snow which the grooming staff has tilled to near-perfection. No, it's not classic Utah powder skiing, but as a certified snow nerd and snow snob I must admit that what we do have open is pretty remarkable. This leads me to the main point of my post; where exactly are we with our natural snow and why isn't more open?
Well to be honest, with regards to natural snow we're thin; about 60% of average for this time of year.
Summit snow stake
That doesn't really sound all that bad, but it seems bad to those of us who've been around the last few record breaking seasons. Our memories in the snow world are short indeed. The 2009-10 season started slower than this one, but powder filled images of last year have just blotted that one out.
"So why can't we just open more stuff?" you're thinking. "The mountain looks white and I see all those tracks under Silverlode." The reality is, for the most part it goes beyond just having snow on a run. We have to have a way to get you to that run and a way to get you out. When there's no snow to make a ramp at the lifts or on the exposed ridges leading to the runs, we have no choice but to keep things closed. These pictures were taken today all around the 9,000 foot elevation in areas where we as of yet have no snowmaking.
Top of Pioneer
Bottom of McConkey's
In some cases we can and will get runs open. Today we were able to open Powderkeg with just natural snow. Thanks to the snowmaking on Assessment and Claimjumper, you can both get to and from Powderkeg. And the run itself is just grass underneath.
You must understand, we don't keep runs closed to "save" them for ourselves or perhaps, as some have thought, save them for the holiday crowds. Runs are closed primarily for your safety and to ensure your best skiing/riding experience. As I've said before, areas of this resort are strewn with rocks, stumps, downed trees, springs and creeks; all things you find in any mountain environment. Some runs like Powderkeg can be opened with just a foot or so of coverage, others take many feet. Please be patient and respect our closures and stay safe. There will be more snow in our future, there will be more runs and terrain opening every couple days. And in the meantime, get out and enjoy what we do have open. Our crews really have done great work. If a Wasatch-raised powder skiing brat like me can have fun on our groomers, you certainly can too.
Flying in Jan 3. How close (or far) are you from opening adventure alleys?
— Posted by Rey on December 23, 2011 2:42 PM MST
I am getting nervous!! Coming in on 12/30 for 5 days of skiing I hope. I am spending a small fortune and only see minimal snow in the forecast. Someone make me feel better!!!!
— Posted by Mark on December 17, 2011 8:59 AM MST
We are also flying in on the 30th and are very nervous about the snow conditions!! We are staying in PC but will be skiing Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude -
— Posted by sandi on December 23, 2011 7:42 AM MST
Well Mark, the snowmakers and groomers are helping us get more runs open almost every day. And the weather service folks are talking about a possible pattern change in early January. Hope that helps.
— Posted by 406 on December 17, 2011 12:22 PM MST
What additional lifts and runs do you plan to have open, if any, by next week-end (Dec. 23 - 25)if no natural snow falls between now and then?
— Posted by Michael on December 16, 2011 1:46 PM MST
I must make one update to my post. Thursday we had to re-close powderkeg as our eager guests skiied it down to the grass. Just another reason why more is not open.
— Posted by 406 on December 16, 2011 12:18 PM MST
Do you think any of the adventure alleys will be opened in the coming week or do they require more natural snow?
— Posted by Chris on December 16, 2011 5:45 AM MST
We definitely need more natural snow to open the adventure alleys.
Thanks for asking.

2012-02-19 18:28:46 | Thoughts of Him | I liked it. I think it is very good that you kept the names out of the story. It makes it more intense to just use: HIM. and would not seem right if the others had names. I look forward to hear who she (you?) eventually fucked him. |
2012-04-24 19:07:53 | Reversed Rape | I liked your story. In contrast to NGSalem, i liked the turnaround. The title is reversed rape, so you kind of see it cumming.

Portland Art & Photography – One Place In Art
The One Place blog series is a collection of art that highlights a certain part of this planet we all call home. Whether it's a city, state, country or maybe entire continent, the objective is to showcase the place through images and art. So, even if you can't ever travel there, at least you can enjoy the scenery as depicted by artists and photographers who have. This place:
Nestled away in the northwest region of the United States you will find the city of Portland in Oregon State. With its damp winters and hot summers, the city is akin to Seattle, Washington. Because it's a coastal city, there are many beaches that line the shores. Sailboats can be found in the harbors and lighthouses keep a watchful eye over the Pacific Ocean. But this is no sleepy town and when the sun goes down, the city lights up. Commonly referred to as the City of Roses, Portland began as small town with a population of 800 in 1851. By 1879 that number grew to 17,500 and now it is home to approximately two million residents in the Portland metropolitan; the 23rd most populous in the US as of July 2006. Known as one of the "greenest" cities in the world, Portland was truly ahead of the times when it came to being environmentally friendly.
Portland is home to a diverse array of artists and arts organizations, and was named in 2006 by American Style magazine as the tenth best Big City Arts Destination in the U.S. It is also home to Imagekind's production and framing facility. With the Portland Museum's addition of the Modern and Contemporary Art wing, it became one the top 25 largest museums in the US. For artists and art lovers, this city is heaven as galleries proliferate downtown and in the Pearl District, as well as in the Alberta Arts District. The city is home to the second-largest hammered-copper statue in the U.S; second to the Statue of Liberty. Named Portlandia, the magnificent statue stands on the west side of the Portland Building.
As most large cities do, Portland has a range of cultural activities. Some of the best known institutions are Oregon Ballet Theatre, Oregon Symphony, Portland Center Stage, Portland Baroque Orchestra and the Portland Opera. The city has also spawned some of the most popular music artists of all time including The Kingsmen and Paul Revere & the Raiders as well as newer groups such as The Dandy Warhols, Everclear, Modest Mouse, Sleater-Kinney, The Shins, The Decemberists, and the late Elliott Smith. The cities Satyricon nightclub is known as the club where the late frontman for Nirvana, Kurt Cobain met fellow musician and future wife, Courtney Love.
Portland is popular for its many microbrewery beer and is home to twenty-eight; the most in the country. If you prefer caffeine over hops, Portland is also a big coffee town; only second to Seattle and features Stumptown Coffee Roasters.
Sports are another important past-time to residents of Portland and they cheer on the Trail Blazers basketball team and beginning next year the city will welcome their very own soccer team, the Portland Timbers. If you would rather participate than watch, nearby resorts on Mount Hood offer some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the country.

The New Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft Ad
Remember when we posted that Microsoft was finally gonna stop taking it up the Vista and combat those "Get A Mac" ads? Well here's the first one, featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. It has a shoe theme. And, while I did like the commercial, I didn't get the commercial. Is there any getting to be got? It seems like an old Seinfeld episode. Is Microsoft selling churros now?
Thanks to Terry, who has enough sense to know that big cinnamon sugar pretzels pwn churros.
This is Microsoft's latest (and longest, at 4:30) commercial featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. I found it moderately entertaining. But what I really took away from the experience was this: if Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ever stayed at my place, I'd rob those suckers ... / Continue →

Four Hamline University Track and Field Athletes Earn All-American Honors
At the Division III Track and Field National Championship in Claremont, California (May 24-26), Hamline's athletes enjoyed great success. Hamline sent a trio of women's competitors—throwers Becky Culp, Brenna Coyle, and Shawny Kramer. The university also sent three men's competitors—distance runners Jack Deichert and Devin Monson, and thrower Brennan McKeag. The contingent is one of the larger groups of athletes Hamline has sent to the meet in recent years and was the second largest from the MIAC conference this year.
Of the six, four of the athletes earned All-American honors. Culp and Coyle earned All-American honors for their third place finish in the discus and seventh place finish in the hammer throw, respectively. Monson finished third in both the 10,000 meter and 5,000 meter race, and Deichert finished second in the 1500 meter race.
Dedication and preparation
Competing at the national meet requires a long-term commitment.
"I started training again two weeks after the end of the track season last year," Culp said. "My coach Drew Jones really helped me to prepare physically and mentally."
"I really started preparing for competing in a national meet as a sophomore," Deichert, a senior at Hamline, said. "After I ran fast race at indoor conference that year, I realized that competing at a national meet was a possibility for me.
For Monson, changes in his training this year helped to improve his conditioning and prepare him for rigors of competing in two events at the national meet. He also took the time to learn about the athletes from other schools around the country so he would know what to expect.
Coyle credits coaches for helping to prepare and for being a great life resource, as well.
"The coaching staff really guided us and they are a great resource," Coyle said. "I don't think they get enough credit."
At the meet, the athletes focused on their events and staying relaxed despite the heightened competition.
"The travel wasn't too big an issue because we traveled to several other meets this year," Monson said. "The important part was to keep a normal sleeping schedule despite the time change."
Monson and Deichert's secret to success was staying out of the hot southern Californian sun as much as possible.
"Other people spent the time leading up to their events watching the meet. Jack and I spent that time inside a gym, so that we would be fresher," Monson said.
Culp admits to a being a particularly social person, so she made sure to keep focused on her throws.
"It also was helpful having teammates, coaches, and family there," Culp said. "The energy of the meet was very exciting—especially when we are all there together."
Deichert really appreciated having the close attention of his coach Paul Schmaedeke at the meet, who he credits for guiding him over the past four years.
For the throwers, the key to success was simply not doing anything different than what got them there.
"A lot of people try and go out there and really kill it and then mess up," Culp said. "I just treated the national meet like any other competition and threw the discus the same way."
Coyle felt that it was important to limit her own expectations.
"Coach Schmaedeke tells us to go out there and just do what you know what to do," Coyle said. "When I stay relaxed and treat the national meet like any other I do better."
For the two distance runners, racing championship meets is a little different. At most meets competitors just try and run the best possible time, while at the national meet they want to run to win.
"I am more hesitant to take the lead early on in national meet because what you really want to do is conserve as much energy as possible for the end of the race," said Monson.
Deichert agreed, "My biggest strength as runner is my finishing sprint—I just want to be in position at the end of the race."
Future goals
One of only two returners in the group, Culp would like to make a return trip to the national meet next year, and she hopes to improve on her throws as well.
Culp, a physics major, hopes to earn a master's degree in electrical engineering after graduating from Hamline. She does plan to stay involved in the sport as well as play pursue her other passion: music as a member of a community band. She may not be the only women's thrower going, either. First-year Shawny Kramer, who made the meet will likely return next year and hopefully improve on her 11th place finish this year.
"Shawny could be a national champion in the future, she is amazingly talented," said Coyle.
Coyle, a recent graduate with a degree in communication studies, plans to return to school in a year or two to earn a master's in human resources management or elementary education.
Deichert is currently mulling one more season of track and field, as he has one more year of eligibility due past injuries. A sociology and political science double major, he would like to break the four minute mile barrier in the future after flirting with it this past season and 14:00 minutes in 5,000 meter race. Long-term, he expects to pursue a career in business.
Monson, a sports and exercise science major, plans to stay deeply involved in the sport. In the fall, he will may join the coaching staff at University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he intends to earn a master's degree in education. Coincidentally, one his athletes at Stout will be Tim Nelson, who beat Monson in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters races this spring. Monson said he doesn't hold any grudges. He also is running competitively for a club team in Saint Paul.

Hang tight!
Recipe by springfield70
"This is a wonderful alternative to those standard cinnamon-walnut-streusel coffee cake recipes. It's perfect for a brunch or a special family gathering. Prepping the batter in a food processor makes it quick and easy to assemble. You can substitute different preserves - apricot, cherry and blueberry all work well."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup sliced almonds
This coffee cake was AwEsOmE! Moist, creamy and just enough sweet. I used plastic sandwich bags across my fingers when working with the dough to spread it up the sides and again I used one to hold the jam, snipped an end off and piped the jam onto the cream cheese filling. Baked up pretty and I was proud enough to bring it into work to share. This cake was very well received! Kinda like the famous one by "E" but so much better because it's fresh. I used lower fat cream cheese and sour cream with no problems. (recipe made for *RECIPE GROUP*)
I used whole wheat flour, so maybe that's why I had trouble. But the filling ran to the middle and the cake parts was way too thick.
31 Ratings
Made this for Recipe Group...LOVED IT! The biggest pain for me was trying to 'spread' the batter in the pan, but I just kept spraying my hand w/ cooking spray and that helped. Also, as far as trying to spread the filling over the cheese layer, I just spooned small dollops all over the top (I may have used a bit more preserves than called for b/c I didn't measure it), and that worked out great. This was not too sweet, but just right, perfect amount of cheese, raspberry and dough, IMO. This was wonderful w/ the raspberry preserves, but I can't wait to try it w/ other fruit flavors. This is a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing. :)
This is a terrific coffee cake. It's moist and flavorful. Love the almond extract. It took longer than an hour for mine to bake in the center when the outer crust was getting dark. It turned out fine. I used Blueberry Sauce, a recipe from AR, instead of the raspberry jam. Drizzled white icing on it made with confectioners sugar and milk. Great Cake!
Recipe Group Selection: 11, August 2012 Yum, Yum, Yum. This coffee cake is wonderful! I made as written using my new springform pan for the first time. But.....my oven was a mess when it finished baking. I didn't know the bottom of a springform pan had a top and a bottom. I just washed the pan and popped the bottom in. Mine was in upside down and butter leaked out all over the oven. Luckily it didn't affect the outcome of the coffeecake. It was moist, looked great and cut very nicely. My family and parents loved this recipe and I will be making it again. Only next time, I will have the pan put together correctly. Thanks springfield70 for sharing this recipe.
I made this for Recipe Group. I made it yesterday and took it to a neighbor who has family in town, so I didn't get to taste it. But they called this morning and said, "You're coffee cake was AWESOME! Everyone loved it!" I guess that makes this recipe 5 stars! I had difficulty spreading the batter 2" up the sides of the pan, just couldn't figure out a good way to do it. I ended up using an offset spatula, which seemed to work. I'd like to make this one again, so I can actually taste it!
This was a hit for Mom's birthday brunch. Don't over bake.
This is a keeper. Whole family enjoyed it. It's a little time consuming. I used a can of raspberry Solo filling found in the baking isle. I used an angled spreader to smear out the dough, then cc filling, then raspberry filling, worked great. I had to count the carbs for our family so from my guesstimating it was roughly 400 carbs for the entire dish.

Carter Named Men's and Women's Golf Coach
WILMORE, Ky. – John Carter has been named Asbury's new men's and women's golf coach as announced by Athletics Director Mark Perdue. Carter replaces Steve Rehner who served as coach of both programs for the first two years of competition.
Carter played golf for three years at King College in Bristol, Tenn. and was named team captain during two of those years. After graduating from King, Carter moved on to the U.S. Air Force, serving as an Arab Linguist for three years.
"I love Asbury because we have a desire to develop holistic Christian athletes," Carter said. "I hope to establish the foundation for a program that will nurture our golfers in four main areas: spiritual growth, academic achievement, service and stewardship and excellence in golf!"
After leaving the Air Force he moved to Wilmore to attend Asbury Theological Seminary. After completing a Masters of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies, Carter has been hired at Asbury University as the Admissions and Marketing Coordinator for the Graduate Education Department.
Throughout his life Carter has been in and around golf, working at a number of courses from high school through seminary. He has worked as a golf pro, assistant grounds keeper, grounds crew superintendent and a caddy. He most recently worked at Planter's Row Golf Course in Nicholasville as the golf pro while attending seminary.
Carter is married to his wife, Katie, and has two children, James who is six and Nora who is 17 months old.

Charlemagne's 1,200-year-old bones are likely the real deal
Charlemagne, otherwise known as Charles the Great and the "Father of Europe," was said to have been a tall, thin man with a slight gait to his walk. He reigned over Western Europe from 800 A.D. to 814 A.D., and the region was definitively empowered by his rule.
His bones have long been on display at a treasury in Aachen Cathedral in Germany. While historians have questioned whether the displayed bones were really those of Charlemagne, new research shows they could be authentic, according to The Local.
