Aww, thanks, Erik.
Well, it occurred to me later that this woman must not know a whole lot of…Read More practicing Catholics.Oddly I am friends with more practicing Catholics on FB than observant (or secular) Jews.
One need not be a nun or professor at a seminary to know that when you marry in the Catholic church, you have to agree to raise your kids Catholic. This, uh, presupposes the existence of children to raise (I know, my inferential capacity is simply blinding!)
She seems equally ignorant about observant Jews, particularly Boomers. My friend, raised conservative/Orthodox in Kansas City, says that from a young age it was impressed upon him and his fellow Hebrew school students that they were the FIRST generation post-Hitler to be raised in America and that it was up to THEM to marry in the faith and raise Jewish children to replace what Hitler eradicated.
The only "bizarre" thing is this unpleasant (and obtuse) woman's chutzpah, first in taking me to task for writing a review for a casual local blog in a style she personally dislikes (but about whose tradition or history she clearly hasn't the foggiest notion ), second in missing the obvious fact that my review was a direct response to the LA Times piece she links, and third, for blaming her poor reading skills on a critic who makes free use of allusion.
Oy vey! (I will say she had the good sense to make herself scarce as there likely wasn't room in the mouth to stick her foot in it any further)

IN blaming, it should read in the third part of the parallel sentence in penultimate paragraph :)

This was the oddest review I have ever read, only to be surpassed in it's oddness by the comments…Read More following the review. I am actually in agreement with the first gal who commented here. That the author is her own ontological starting point ( please ) does not give her license to waste the reader's time discussing anything she chooses. This writer needs a thicker skin. She displays an almost pathological need to defend herself.
Victoria Ordin February 8, 2013 at 07:19 pm
IMPORTANT addendum: I have parked in the Target lot thrice but got kicked out once and therefore…Read More missed the show. You cannot park there but apparently the guy (very belligerent I might add) was not on duty
You must park (7 dollars unless you're a subscriber and got a pass) on the other side of the theater in the white building with underground parking and a very nice female attendant).
Target closes at 9:30 and curtain is at 8PM. But even with a largely empty lot, the man followed me out and interrogated me (I didn't think to dissemble as I had no idea parking there was a no-no.)
In the large, Gil Cates theater, you might be able to sneak in late. But in the small theater with only one door, NO one can go in late (or before intermission if there are two acts) because it would disrupt the show.

~~But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.~~Collective action!! Forward! (not)
As I was reading the speech, the same phrase kept recurring in my mind:"Do as I say, not as I do".
Can´t comment, turned the radio off. Reads like a pretty treasonous diatribe.
Criticize if you wish, but I will not read or watch this person. I have learned that it only takes a few moments, and I am yelling at the television or radio.
Okay. Obama Mark II is now running against Obama Mark I.I find it extremely suspicious that the themes of this "speech" were not visible during the first four years.Freedom was NOT defended: in North Korea, in Iran, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Somalia, in Syria, in Egypt, or much of anywhere else.Those who prospered as a result of their own efforts were punished repeatedly, both by massive government regulation and by steep increases in taxes.Gay marriage: never mentioned.Global warming: gross scientific fraud, complemented by an administration which lost $billions to fraudulent companies (Solyndra and others) for phony "green" enterprises. The latest reward to green energy has been the Boeing "flying laptop", the 787, which is grounded because of exploding lithium-ion batteries.This is probably the greatest collection of non-sequiturs ever uttered.Nothing follows from anything else: the only unifying idea is "trust me."Gag.
Won´t read,watch or listen to that person.
THis speech would have had the same effect if Zippy had gotten up and just ´broken wind´ into the microphone. He is definitely the "Most Shallow WON"!Prediction: The next four years will not go bey nearly as fast as half the Country want it to.
Blah, blah, blah. One long, fraudulent cliche.

Apple doesn't need to negotiate with the music labels.
Online radio like Pandora and IheartRadio is governed by statutory rates set by Congress. http://www.broadcastlawblog.com/2011...-services-pay/ Quote:
Anyone can set up an online radio and do this as long as they pay this rate. From Google to a kid in his garage.

Instead of wasting tons of money on this program that will only copy already existing 3rd party applications, why not include an FM radio in all of the various iproducts? Apple wont have any licensing issues, and consumers will get their music.

Is iTunes a big money maker now anyways? I always was under the assumption that it was just a tool to tie in an ecosystem for hardware sales.
---------- I think a Pandora service would be a major coup for Apple. In my friend group (18-25) almost no one buys music from iTunes anymore. People use Spotify on their computers but I don't know anyone that actually pays for it. Then on the go everyone uses Pandora on their iPhone or Android. Could be huge for Apple if they do it right. |

My recollection is that Apple actually makes money - not a whole lot, but the service does make them money enough to keep the system going. That isn't the case with services like Pandora which I hear looses money since there aren't enough people paying for the service. ---------- Quote:
People like services like Spotify and Pandora because they are available everywhere. Apple's proposed service would surely be not only DRM heavy but Apple device or iTunes only. I just don't see it happening. Apple has always been about owning content. They have shrugged off rental services for years despite people saying that Apple has to do this since everybody else does it. |

It won't be on anything other than an Apple device or in iTunes - Apple would have no incentive to offer it on other platforms any more than they will make an Android version of iBooks or offer Non DRM free content on other platforms.
Apple has offered streaming audio from other providers for a long time. I don't see this as any more than that. Apple wouldn't tease something like that. |

I'd give it a shot, but I'm pretty skeptical that Apple would do this better than Pandora currently does. Also I don't really see what their motivation is to launch a service like this. If they made iTunes "in the cloud" a truly streaming service than we could already access our music on the go without taking up all the space on our phones. iTunes match is a total mess and does not work as advertised, at least in my experience.
I have been a Pandora user since it first came out, so color me biased.
Wait... I had something for this. |

This sounds pretty darn cool. I might even consider switching to it from regular radio if it works when I need it to (since Pandora is worse than regular radio).
---------- Apple is a company that makes Macs and iOS devices and has a robust music program, iTunes. Even if they don't make the actual service better, the amazing convenience of it being in iTunes would make it worth switching for anyone with an Apple product, especially because switching isn't any commitment with these things. |

PlanetOut gets new investors
Struggling PlanetOut said Monday that it has struck a deal to raise $26 million in new funds from private investors.
The publicly traded company, which runs the PlanetOut and Gay.com Web sites, as well as Out and The Advocate magazines, has seen its revenue drop and its losses widen in recent months.
Among those investing, as noted by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is Bill Gates' investment arm, Cascade Investment LLC. Other investors include Special Situations Funds, SF Capital Partners, PAR Investment Partners and Allen & Co. The investment is coming from the sale of roughly 22.8 million shares of … Read more

In the lecture space of a museum in North Miami Wednesday evening, a group of academics and community members will explore stereotypes, idealized beauty standards and images of Latin women in art and film and the larger pop cultural landscape.
Think cultural salon; an introspective moment analyzing self-identity, self-worth, sexuality and the vexing question of race — ultimately, what it means to be a Hispanic woman.
In celebration of October's Hispanic Heritage Month, the Museum of Contemporary Art's Women on the Rise! education program has partnered with Florida International University to present a three-part lecture series, "Latina Women and the Body."
The series is a community conversation, running from the first roles of Hispanic women in silent films to the "Chonga" pop culture phenomenon to Sophia Vergara's curvaceous, over-the-top-accented caricature turn in the popular television series Modern Family.
"The hope is to engage the community on the images represented and what it means and how we absorb them,'' says Jillian Hernandez, MOCA's Education Outreach Coordinator. "It's not necessarily an easy conversation but one we need to have, and with the diversity of cultures here, it makes sense to have it in Miami."
The series was born out of scholarly studies on gender and race but also through personal experiences. Those participating include Hernandez; Dionne Stephens, an assistant professor at Florida International University; Crystal Pearl, a visual artist and MOCA educator; Anya Wallace a Penn State doctoral student and Myra Mendible,a professor at Florida Gulf Coast University.
"At the same time you see the rise of the Latina in pop culture, you also see a certain stereotype. We want to see how all these images are playing themselves out and how it relates back to society," said Hernandez, a doctoral candidate in Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University. "We had each done some research or work that looked at the body and sexual representation and we all found there were broader questions that we wanted to explore. We want people to come out and talk about some areas we don't typically address publicly. This will be an exchange."
The series opens at 7 p.m. Wednesday with "Ni Pardo, Ni Prieto: Presentations of Skin Color Influencing Hispanic Women's Self Identity."
"Much of the research on this issue as it relates to color shows Hispanics often didn't want to be viewed as white or black, but the color in between. Tan was tied to a sense of feeling attractive, and attractive to men," said Stephens, an assistant professor in FIU's Department of Psychology whose work was published in the Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences.
Similar to issues of colorism within the African diaspora, Stephens' research found that people preferred the lighter complexion of the spectrum.
"There still seems to be a shame in discussing and critiquing blackness," Stephens said. "But we need to go there."
On Oct. 10, the series will explore Latina styles and sexuality through two presentations: "A Chonga Manifesto" and "Cuban Beauties."
"Often people think of the Chonga as vulgar or tacky or cheap, but we are actually going to be looking at how this is a creative way for a marginalized group to express themselves," Hernandez said of the Chonga, a Miami cultural symbol depicting a flamboyant young Hispanic girl. "This is really about a particular self-assuredness and confidence."
In addition, in the Cuban beauty segment, artist Pearl will show new work from her series Then Again, which celebrates the visual excess that is often characterized and critiqued in Latin culture.
The final presentation, on Oct. 17, explores the images of Hispanic women in popular culture, a narrative that has seen the portrayal of Latin women focus on her body — from Carmen Miranda and her iconic fruit head gear to the famous posterior of Jennifer Lopez.
"Today we celebrate the Latina," said Mendible, author of From Bananas to Buttocks: The Latina Body in Popular Film and Culture, "but it's important to understand the long history."

New York is taking center stage in the increasingly close presidential race Tuesday night, when President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney square off at Hofstra University in a town hall-style second debate. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
The eyes of the world will be on Hempstead, N.Y. on Tuesday night, when Presidential Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney debate in Hofstra University. How the candidates answer the questions could sway who becomes the nation's next president.
"We're very grateful to be back at Hofstra. It's amazing to see the set go up and to understand what is going to take place here," said Janet Brown of the Commission on Presidential Debates, as the hall on Hofstra underwent final preparations.
The town hall will be filled with Nassau County residents. Noted suburban expert Lawrence Levy of Hofstra University thinks those voters tend to be more liberal than others.
"The voters in Nassau have the same issues as voters anywhere else, they just have different demands and expectations for their life," said Levy.
Outside the auditorium, signs and political artwork were being arranged and the university's 11,700 students seemed to buzz with nervous energy.
"I think the energy is just crazy," said Hofstra student Chelsea Gillyard.
This collegiate pride united Gillyard, a Democrat from the Bronx, and Victoria Rametta, a Republican from Connecticut. Both political junkies, they seemed to gawk at how their campus transformed into the epicenter of the presidential race.
"A helicopter flew outside my room this morning, it was pretty loud. It felt like someone was going to come through my window. It was pretty awesome," said Gillyard.
Only one thing could make it better.
"Unfortunately, I have not gotten a ticket yet. If I could bribe, if I could buy the ticket off someone I would, but I can't. They are very strict with the tickets," Rametta said.
Who can get in aside from the candidates, the moderator and the undecided voters? There is a lottery for students. Otherwise, Hofstra has set up four watch parties, plus two for the surrounding communities and two for alumni.

One of the most desirable production Fender Telecaster models recreated to the finest detail.
The evolution of the Fender Telecaster guitar continues with the '63 Tele guitar. This recreation features an alder body, "C"-shape maple neck with a round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, white/black/white pickguard, Fender/Gotoh vintage style tuning machines, and an original vintage style Telecaster bridge with 3 threaded steel saddles and an "ash tray" cover. The 1963 Telecaster Heavy Relic guitar is loaded with vintage '63 Fender Telecaster single-coil pickups that have a Custom Vintage Wiring Circuit that gives you the choice of having the tone control on the neck pickup for a bright sound, or without the tone control, for a darker sound. Includes vintage hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
The Fender Custom Shop "Heavy Relic" treatment creates Telecasters that are super worn-in, like your favorite pair of jeans! They show the natural wear and tear from years of heavy use — nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts.
Fender's Time Machine electric guitars pay homage to specific years of some of our classic designs. All are built to exacting specifications of their respective vintages, including body contours and radii, neck shape, fingerboard radius, pickups and electronics. Original materials, tooling and production techniques are employed wherever possible to maintain the integrity of these Fender guitars.
Don't miss your chance to own a classic!

Art Glossary
Art Glossary Terms:
Tachism, Tachisme
A French style of abstract painting, from the French word "tache", it means 'stain' in English. The movement, in the 1940s and 50s, is referred to as the French equivalent of Abstract Expressionism, and its exponents were related in style to Action Painting and Lyrical Abstraction. The term "Tachism" was first applied to art in 1951 by French critics and was widely circulated in the 1952 book "Un Art autre" by Michel Tapie. Artists associated with the movement include Karel Appel, Norman Bluhm, Jean Dubuffet, Sam Francis, Georges Mathieu, and Pierre Alechinsky. Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/tachisme
Tactile/Tactile Values
A quality that refers to the sense of touch. Art historian Bernard Berenson coined the phrase Tactile Values in his 1896 book "Florentine Painters of the Renaissance". He used the phrase to distinguish paintings that create the illusion of three-dimensionality from less-skilled works that convey only two dimensionality. Berenson asserted that three-dimensional seeming paintings imparted a special sense of touch that was uniquely characteristic of Renaissance paintings. He opined that these Renaissance paintings with Tactile Values were superior to other 'two-dimensional' paintings.

Tamarind Institute, Workshop
A center for fine-art lithography, it is a training school for master printers, a place for teaching and research, and a professional collaborative studio for artists. Tamarind is at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and is dedicated to the growth of contemporary printmaking around the world. In the professional shop, master printers work in partnership with artists under publishing agreements or by contract for custom printing to make fine, limited edition lithographs. During its 40-year history, Tamarind has produced an archive (now housed in the University of New Mexico Art Museum) of approximately 10,000 lithographs by artists of diverse aesthetic interests. Tamarind has trained nearly one-hundred master printers and has offered advanced training in lithography to hundreds of print makers from around the world. The Workshop originated in Los Angeles from the studio on Tamarind Avenue of June Clair Wayne, who in 1960, wrote and obtained a grant from the Ford Foundation to establish a structure to upgrade the status of lithography in the United States by establishing an institution for the pursuit of innovative methods of lithography. The venture was successful, but Wayne grew tired of supporting it herself because it was a diversion from her own work. In 1970, she established the Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico.

Taos Art Colony
A well established gathering of Caucasian artists in Taos, New Mexico by 1920, it was the first community in that state to become an art colony. Early participants were Joseph Henry Sharp, Bert Geer Phillips and Ernest Blumenschein. These men were joined by Oscar Berninghaus, Eanger Couse, Buck Dunton, Victor Higgins and Walter Ufer. A larger group banded together with these men to form the Taos Society of Artists, which sponsored exhibitions and worked with the Santa Fe Railroad to sell their paintings in the East. The Colony attracted hundreds of painters, but diminished with World War II, although the area, with exotic scenery and Native American and Hispanic inhabitants, continues to be a popular place for working artists. Sources include Arrell Morgan Gibson, The Santa Fe and Taos Colonies. (LPD)
Taos Field School of Art
Founded in 1930, its focus was to carry out the vision of the New Mexico Art League of an educational facility in Taos, a museum at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and acquisitions for the museum. The School, operated by the University of New Mexico, functioned during the summers for eight weeks at the Harwood Foundation, and included classes in sculpture, commercial art, painting and architecture. Instructors included Victor Higgins, Walter Ufer, Kenneth Adams, Ernest Blumenschein, Oscar Berninghaus, Buck Dunton, Joseph Imhoff and Bert Geer Phillips. Initial enrollment was 130 students. Likely its most famous student was Agnes Martin, who studied there in 1947. Sources: Arrell Morgan Gibson, "The Santa Fe and Taos Galleries"; harwoodmuseum.org/gallery4.php?tag=about
Taos School of Fine Arts
Established in Taos, New Mexico in 1932 by Emil Bisttram, the classes, winter and summer, were held in his home. Curriculum focus was Abstract and Transcendental Art with underlying themes of spatial relationships or Dynamic Symmetry. Subjects were Art, Dance, Music and Drama. Among his students were Alfred Morang, Marion Koogler McNay, Florence Miller Pierce and Horace Towner Pierce. Source: Arrell Morgan Gibson,"The Santa Fe and Taos Colonies".
Taos Society of Artists
An organization formed in 1915 in Taos, New Mexico, its first members were resident painters Joseph Henry Sharp, Ernest Blumenschein, Bert Geer Phillips, Oscar Berninghaus, E. Irving Couse, W. Herbert Dunton, Walter Ufer and Victor Higgins. The organization grew from this early group, who had called themselves "Los Ochos Pintores" to 18 members with Kenneth Miller Adams being the last elected artist and Catharine Critcher being the only female member. Criteria for membership was residency in Taos for three successive years and prize received in a national art exhibition. The purpose of the Taos Society of Artists was to combine their resources to generate paintings to be shipped east on the Santa Fe Railroad and to secure exhibition venues. The chief sponsor was the railroad, which acquired a now-valuable collection of work by the TSA artists. By 1922, a traveling TSA exhibition was circulating twice a year to major American cities, and was successful in bringing attention and sales to Taos artists. However, the association did not hold together because of members' personality and artistic differences.

Tate Britain
The official national gallery of British art, it is located in London on Millbank on the Thames River. The museum went through a transition period of being the home of the British art collection of sugar magnate, Henry Tate, who funded the building, to one that housed both British and international art. Since the late 20th century, Tate Britain has returned to being the collection for British art only. In 1987, the J.M.W. Turner collection of 300 oil paintings became a major addition to Tate Britain. Three other museums handle overflow from what seemed out-of-control expansion of Tate Britain. The Tate Modern, built in 1990 on the south bank of the Thames River houses the international modern collection; Tate Liverpool, 1988, and Tate St. Ives in 1993, house additional works from Tate Britain.

Teco Art Pottery
Characterized by a "soft waxy matte green" color with glaze that resembles the "patina of ancient bronze artifacts", it was created under the direction of William D. Gates in 1881 in Terra Cotta, Illinois. Marketing of what became over 500 pottery designs began in 1902. The name TECO is derived from the first two letters of the words "terra cotta". Gates was the founder of The Terra Cotta Tile Works, which produced drain tile and brick for buildings and architectural decoration. Influenced by the turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts movement, he sought to create pottery as art expression, and experimenting with clays and colored glazes, decided that color and texture were very important in determining public acceptance. Every piece of TECO pottery has a distinguishing bold rectangular stamp with the company name. The Chicago Art Institute was the source of some of the designers including Hardesty Maratta (1864-1942). Other designers were from a group of young Chicago architects espousing Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style, which emphasized ornamentation as merging gracefully with building materials and building design.

A powdered pigment painting medium in which the binder is usually egg yolk or gum so that an emulsion is created that is suspended in water. Tempera paint dates to the ancient Greeks and Romans and possibly earlier. Egg tempera is documented from the 12th century in Medieval Europe. It was the medium for easel and panel painting until the 15th century when oil painting was developed. Fra Angelico and Sandro Botticelli in Italy and Rogier Van der Weyden and Jan Van Eyck in Holland are famous artists who did Tempera painting. In the 20th century, Tempera painting has had a revival, especially among artists who have suffered reactions to the chemicals of oil paints. A key person in the revival was Daniel V. Thompson, Technical Adviser of The Courtauld Institute of Art in London, who wrote a book in 1936, "The Practice of Tempera Painting." In addition to being non-toxic, desirability of Tempera is quick drying, durability and water-resistance when dried. Also dry tempera has a matte-like surface that an artist can polish to a high gloss with a soft cloth. Panel is the traditional support or ground, although paper is occasionally used. American artists associated with Tempera painting include Peter Hurd, Andrew Wyeth, Grandma Moses, Reginald Marsh, Jacob Lawrence, Isabel Bishop and Charles DeMuth.

Ten American Painters
Known as The Ten, a term assigned to them by members of the Press, this group of New York and Boston-based artists formed in 1898 and exhibited together to 1918. Led by J. Alden Weir, Childe Hassam, and John Twachtman, they withdrew from the Society of American Artists in order to focus on the quality of their exhibitions and also to rebel against the National Academy by artists who wanted to encourage a fresh approach to art to avoid mediocrity. Other members were were Frank Benson, William Merritt Chase, Joseph DeCamp, Thomas Dewing, Willard Metcalf, Robert Reid, Edward Simmons, and Edmund Tarbell. Source: AskART database

Also a "tenebrae" is a liturgical service during Holy Week in the western church. A tenebrist artist is one who paints in extreme contrasts of light and dark. Tenebrism was characteristic of Old Master Spanish, Italian and Dutch painters such as El Greco, Titian, Caravaggio, Tintoretto and Rembrandt.

Tenth Street Galleries
A collective co-op of galleries on the east side of Manhattan in the 1950s and 1960s, it was artist run and low budget and an avant-garde alternative to the upscale Madison Avenue and 57th Street galleries. About 250 artists were members whose assessed dues paid for marketing and a unifying social scene. The association is credited as playing a significant part in the growth of American art and included artists from Tanager Gallery, James Gallery and Comino Gallery. Noted artist members included Alex Katz, Tom Wesselmann, George Segal and Wolf Kahn. Source: Wikipedia
Tenth Street Studio Building
Located originally in 1857 at 15 West 10th Street in Greenwich Village, New York City and designed by William Morris Hunt, it was a three-story brick building described as "the catalyst most responsible for transforming Greenwich Village into a hub for the visual arts."(greyart). Demolished in 1955, it was the first purpose-built artist-studio facility in the U.S. The original address was 15 West 10th Street, but the number changed to 51 West 10th Street in 1867. There were 25 studios, for which leading original occupant artists paid two-hundred dollars a year rent. It was luxurious space for that era with coal stoves, privacy and plenty of light. The 'Building' was at the center of the New York Art Scene. Some of the most prominent occupants were Albert Bierstadt, William Merritt Chase, Frederic Church, Martin Johnson Heade, John La Farge, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Eastman Johnson, John Kensett, Willard Metcalf, Worthington Whittredge and Winslow Homer. As a group, occupants worked on marketing strategies such as quality framing and visitor hosting. From August 21 to November 16, 1997, the National Academy in New York held an exhibition devoted to Tenth Street Studio Building artists, many who were Academy members. The exhibition also had a reconstruction of the elaborate studio of William Merritt Chase, the building's most famous occupant.

Terra cotta
An Italian word meaning baked earth. It is a term used in pottery to describe unglazed clay objects that have had an initial firing. Generally terra cotta refers to unfired clay that ranges in color from red to black, the most common being reddish-brown. The Sea of Marmora in the Dardenelles of Turkey has been a prolific area for terra cotta, distributed to world-wide markets.

Small pieces, usually cubes, used to create a mosaic. A single piece is a Tessara. The most common materials are colored glass, ceramic, stones or metal. Traditional Tesserae from Venice, used from the Middle Ages, are opaque glass in myriads of colors, and are usually set into the mosaic with the fractured side exposed to create a sparkle from reflected light. Mosaics from ancient Greece and Rome and other civilizations were composed of larger Tesserae, many which were naturally colored pebbles. Byzantine mosaics were made with gold Tesserae, which was gold leaf placed between two layers of clear glass.

Texas Centennial Exposition
Held in 1936 in Dallas, Texas to celebrate 100 years of statehood, it included an exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts of 164 paintings, representing what curators thought was the best and most representative of Early Texas Art. Also included were over six hundred works of art for the general exhibition, one-third of which covered the development of European art from the primitives through the twentieth century. The remainder of the exhibition was devoted to American art with sections on historical works, the twentieth century, and the Southwest. Included in the Texas Exposition were paintings by Everett Spruce, Jerry Bywaters, Emma Cherry, Edward Eisenlohr, Peter Hurd and Inez Elder; Source: Bill Cheek of The Centennial Committee of CASETA, which includes Cheek, Scott Grant Barker, Michael Grauer, and Dr. Mark Thistlethwaite.
Texas Fine Arts Association
Founded in 1911, the TFAA provided strong, organized support for the arts. One of their first successes was lobbying the legislature to appoint the Texas Commission for the Arts. Association members also promoted art education in the public schools, created an endowed chair in art at the University of Texas, and in 1927, organized the first exhibit of Texas artists outside of Texas. It was held in Nashville, Tennessee. The Texas Fine Arts Association also founded a series of local art leagues, many which, in turn, created local art schools and supported artist camps. Source: William E. Reaves, Jr., "Texas Art and a Wildcatter's Dream"
Texas Wildflower Competitive Exhibitions
Held in San Antonio, Texas in the years 1927, 1928, and 1929, the exhibitions were organized by Edgar B. Davis of Luling, Texas. He was a "legendary oil wildcatter", who was one of the wealthiest men in Texas in the roaring 20's. He had a special affection for Texas wildflowers and successfully envisioned a national art competition that would bring leading American painters of the day to Texas to paint his designated subject. One-hundred thirty five painters participated, likely encouraged by the fact that the prizes were the most lucrative to date offered in the world of American Art exhibitions. Over 80,000 viewers attended during the three years, and Davis and the San Antonio Art League purchased the winning paintings. The event raised awareness of art among Texans and made other Americans aware of art activity and potential subject matter for painting in Texas. An unintended result of the competitions was the opening of discussion about avant-garde art, which was introduced by some of the competition entrants, especially the younger ones such as Jerry Bywaters and Alexandre Hogue who objected to some of the decisions of conservative judges.

In American Art, a term referencing an informal association of modernist artists and the writer/critic, Clement Greenberg, in the 1970s centered in Bennington, Vermont at Bennington College. Artist participants were Isaac Witkin, Anthony Caro, Peter Stroud, Kenneth Noland, Paul Feeley and Jules Olitski. Olitski, Feeley, Stroud and Witkin were on the Bennington art faculty. Signaling independence and non-conformity in the style and materials of their abstract art, they borrowed the name from the armed bands in Colonial America of men led by Ethan Allen, who fought to prevent Vermont from becoming part of New York state.

Theorem Painting/Stenciling
An early American technique of decorating dating to the Colonial period and lasting in popularity to the post-Civil War period. Theorem painting has mostly flourished in New England, New York and Pennsylvania. The word "Theorem" means formula or expression of relationships. The effect is achieved with stencils, either commercially-made or hand-made, which are placed adjacent to each other in overlays on paper or cloth such as velvet. Resulting designs are colored, usually with watercolor or oil. This technique was popular among women from the early 1800s because the results could be very attractive in home decorating, were well-received as gifts, and could be achieved by non-professionally trained persons. Still-life was the most popular subject, especially fruit in bowls, with each piece constructed from a separate stencil. In those days mastery of handiwork was considered essential to being an accomplished woman, and young ladies often received instruction in drawing, painting and needlework. As the country prospered, increasingly more women had time for leisure activities that were purely decorative. Do-it-yourself Theorem instruction books were available as were 'drawing cards', sold in decks, with designs for copying. Ready-made stencils were for the less creative who did not want to make their own designs and patterns, and women's magazines offered Theorem patterns. However, many young women took their Theorem painting very seriously. Portfolios of some of them contain detailed study notes, color samples, sketches, etc. The method is not widespread today because of the lack of widespread publication of the patterns, most of which were passed down through the generations. American artists who were Theorem painters include Emma Jane Cady and Sarah Ward.

Three Schools of Art, Toronto
This refers to a single educational establishment consisting of the amalgamation of three "alternative" art schools and the Poor Alex Theatre, all of which shared a common administration and facilities in downtown Toronto. The Artist's Workshop (founded in 1950) was open to anyone on a first come first served basis, it had no entry requirements; the New School of Art (founded in 1965) was for advanced artist's, its students were selected by interview; and the Hockley Valley School (founded in 1962) was a summer school for individuals and families which only operated when funds permitted (last classes were in 1973). The schools were a cooperative of artist/teachers, students and administration; the courses offered included drawing, painting, graphic design, sculpture, dance, music, acting, writing and film. There were no diplomas, grades or examinations, and the curriculums were flexible to accommodate the needs and interests of the individual students or group of students. The artists/teachers included Dennis Burton, Robert Hedrick, Jack Bush, Graham Coughtry and Gordon Rayner. Due to lack of funding, the school closed in 1981.

Thumbnail Image
A reduced version of a picture from the original image or subject, and used to make it quicker to recognize and retrieve on desktop environments. The smaller size usually is not a quality for reproducing an image, but it is intended to reduce download time while providing a good reference to the original. In 2003 a US case ruled in Kelly v. Arriba Soft Corporation that it was fair use to help web users find what they were looking for.
Thumbnail Sketch
A small drawing, done rapidly, that serves as the basis for a larger work by capuring the essence of the subject matter. Origin of the term is attributed to English painter William Hogarth who, sitting in a tavern, wanted to record a scene he was witnessing. Having no paper handy, he reportedly sketched the scene on his thumbnail.

Tiffany Foundation Grants
Founded in 1918 by Louis Comfort Tiffany to operate Laurelton Hall, his estate at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, it was designed as a way of providing a summer retreat for artists and crafts persons. In 1946, the Foundation was directed to providing artist grants and diverted from supporting the summer program. Grant recipients include Guy Anderson, Noel Rockmokre and Karen LaMonte.

Tile Club
Founded in 1877 and active until 1887, The Tile Club was an exclusive but informal club in New York City of notable painters, illustrators, sculptors, architects and journalists. Meeting proceedings were secret, but many of their activities were deliberately attention getting to enhance members professional reputations. Writer Laura Claridge described the Club as functioning "like a grown-up boys fraternity." (31) Founding members banded together to promote in America tenets of the British Arts and Crafts Movement led by William Morris Hunt. China painting or painting on tiles was a component that inspired the name. Members were devoted to camaraderie as well as self-serving public activities such as plein-air, impressionist painting excursions to relatively undeveloped regions. One result of their activity was the opening up of Long Beach, especially the South Shore. Periodicals of the day including "Scribner's", "Harper's Weekly" and "Century Magazine" had numerous articles on the Club's activities, some of which they had sponsored, which, of course, enhanced the publications as well as the fame of the members and the places they visited. The Tile Club had no by-laws, officers, initiation fees, or dues, but membership, limited to twelve, did require the decorating of a tile for the fireplace of the Club's meeting place. The first annual dinner in 1878 was held in the studio of Winslow Homer. Among members were architect Stanford White; painters William Merritt Chase, J Alden Weir, John Twachtman, Napolean Sarony, Frank Hopkinson Smith; and sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens. John Singer Sargent requested permission to join as part of his consideration to move to New York City. In 1997, art scholar Ronald Pisano curated an exhibition of the Tile Club at the Stony Brook Museum. He wrote an accompanying book: "The Tile Club and the Aesthetic Movement in America". The Heckscher Museum in Huntington, New York is the repository of the largest collection of Tile Club memorabilia including a tile painted by Winslow Homer and William Merritt Chase's personal copy of Stanford White's "Book of the Tile Club", which he published in 1887.

Toledo Tile Club
Founded in the early 1890s in Toledo, Ohio, and led by George Washington Stevens, the group was dedicated to establishing an art museum in Toledo. They felt the need for a place for exhibitions like people were able to see in other big cities such as New York and Boston. They were successful, with one of the key facilitators being Edward Drummond Libbey of the Libbey Glass Company, who provided substantial funding. Recognizing the leadership of Stevens, who served as Museum Director for 23 years, museum personnel published a biography of him: 'George W. Stevens' in the "Museum News", Spring, 1966. The author was Blake-More Godwin. Source: Edward Bentley, Fine Art Researcher, Lansing, Michigan.
An art movement in the late 1900s emanating from Barbizon, France, it was a group of French painters led by Thomas Couture (1815-1879) and Camille Corot (1796-1875). Characteristics of Tonalist painting are serene, un-dramatic landscapes minus human activity but often with the suggestion someone had just been present; harmonious and sombre colors; traditional or academically informed composition; conveyance of the artist's personal vision and emotion; emphasis on soul and spirit or poetics; subdued tones; and studio-created canvases painted from sketches rather than plein-air. In its adherence to academic principles of composition, it was traditional, but with the subjective emphasis on the artist's emotions, the approach was groundbreaking. It was also a break with the Barbizon School painters whose style was Realism and who often depicted bright sunny days with human activity in the landscape, especially toiling peasants. It is unknown when the term was first used, but it's origin can be linked to Henry Ward Ranger, one of its chief American proponents. He used the word Tonalism in 1914 in his book "Art-Talks with Ranger". Ranger was also the founder of Old Lyme Colony in Connecticut, which began as a gathering place for American Tonalist painters. Other American artists associated with the movement include William Morris Hunt, James McNeill Whistler, George Inness, Charles Eaton, Birge Harrison, Alexander Wyant and Homer Dodge Martin. Tonalism appealed to many late 19th-century persons in western culture because it was a time of increasing interest and acceptance of philosophies of spiritual transcendence as taught by Ralph Waldo Emerson and visionary Swedish philosopher, Emanuel Swedenborg. The first major exhibition of Tonalist painting in America was sponsored by The Lotos Club in February 1896 in New York City. By 1905, Tonalism was overtaken by Impressionism followed by the Ashcan School and Social Realism.

A term referencing the degree of light absorbed and reflected by a color. Artists depicting various times of day and night as well as seasons are said to experiment with tonal qualities to create the setting. However, the term has a lack of clarity in that it has been used in multiple ways and took on additional meanings with the advent of Tonalism in France and then in America in the late 19th Century. In America, it has been both a prevailing or dominant color in a picture and harmonious coloration; in England a consistent or harmonious diffusion of light; and in France, harmonious values in the atmospherics of a painting.

A term meaning 'drawing the earth'. Topography is an accurate drawing or painting of a particular location with no artistic enhancement. Skillful Topographers were very important members of 19th-century American exploratory expeditions in a pre-photography era because they provided the data for map making and visual records for official reports on geography, flora and fauna. Many topographers also became noted painters such as Washington Allston, Ralph Blakelock, William Bradford, and Jasper Cropsey.

Toronto Art Students' League
An important Canadian artists' association, founded in 1886 and folded in 1904, the Toronto Art Students' League began as a sketch club where members could draw from a live model. It later conducted regular outdoor sketching excursions and became not only a school but a setting where members met to draw, discuss, comment on each other's work and create projects together. It also held exhibitions and published its members illustrations in popular calendars. Its core philosophy of promoting distinctly Canadian subjects gave birth to several successors including the Mahlstick Club, the Canadian Art Club, the Graphic Arts Club (later the Canadian Society of Graphic Art) and ultimately the Group of Seven. The League's founders and charter members included Alfred Harold Howard, Robert Holmes, Charles MacDonald Manly and John David Kelly. Subsequent members included Frederick H. Brigden, C.W. Jefferys, Gertrude Spurr Cutts, Henrietta Hancock, J.E.H. Macdonald and Edmund Morris.

Tramp Printers
Itinerant masters of the art of printing, these were people, primarily men, who traveled the country doing handset type, and working with printing presses. Until computers replaced them in the late 20th Century, these skilled workers were especially sought after by non-unionized printing plant operators. The term "tramp printers" was used for printers especially noted for their independent lifestyle and consistent travel. John Thomas Nolf, who became a fine art painter, was described early in his career as a "tramp printer". Source: www.discoverypress.com/trampweb/hist1.html; Courtesy Tom Shaw
Transcendental Painting Group (TPG)
New Mexico artists dedicated to educating a resistant public to abstract and non-objective art, they were active with exhibitions between 1938 and 1942. Organizing members were Raymond Jonson, Emil Bisttram, Lawren Harris, Ed Garman, Robert Gribbroek, William Lumpkins, Agnes Pelton, Florence Miller Pierce, Horace Towner Pierce and Stuart Walker. Dane Rudhyar and Alfred Morang may have been members, but scholars are debating their status. Rudhyar began painting seriously in the TPG modernist style somewhat later than the others, and Morang was active with the foundation but conflicting references exist about his TPG status. Their stated purpose in their manifesto was "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual." They formed the American Foundation for Transcendental Painting, which expanded facilitating tasks to persons beyond the TPG painters and resulted in systematic collection methods and permanent location for exhibitions and collections. The TPG, influenced by Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian, reflected a movement towards abstraction in other parts of the country that came to ascendancy from the mid 20th Century. Although the Transcendental Painting Group had long-term stylistic influence on Southwest artists, it terminated as a formal entity with World War II. The Jonson Gallery of the University of New Mexico Art Museums, opened in 1950, houses work by Transcendental painters and is named for TPG leader, Raymond Jonson.

An acronym for Treasury Relief Art Project, it began in 1935 and was part of the Federal Emergency Relief Appropriation, which had two programs: 1) an extensive WPA program for unemployed artists and 2) TRAP whose mission was decoration by painters and sculptors of federal buildings. Known as the "Ritz" because of exclusivity, it had several hundred carefully selected artists, most on public relief. Edward Rowan was Director, and monthly wages varied from $69 to $103. TRAP ended in 1937, with the creation of 89 murals, many for post offices; 65 sculpture projects and about 10,000 easel paintings. Participating artists included Reginald Marsh, Milford Zornes and Kady Faulkner. Source: Robert Puschendorf, "Nebraska's Post Office Murals"; www.Britannica.com; http://www.rr1.net/users/methomwi/

Tree Studio Building
Established in Chicago in 1894 by Judge Lambert Tree and his wife, Anne Tree, it was an artist studio-lodging building that also had commercial space so that rent could be kept low. It was located behind the Tree mansion on Wabash Avenue between Ohio and Ontario Streets and created as an entity by a legal trust providing that only artists could be residents. The second floor had large studios that faced an open courtyard, which provided natural lighting, something that was limited in Chicago. The Studio Building was established by the Trees to keep and attract artists who had exhibited at the Chicago Exposition in 1893. Inhabitants included Albin Polasek, John Storrs, Ruth Ford and Pauline Palmer. The Trust remained until 1959, when the building's neighbor, the Medinah Temple, occupied it.

A three-part work of art whose panels bear a relationship to each other. It is usually a painting, meant for placement on an altar, with three hinged panels that fold together. Usually the middle panel has the primary theme, with side panels being supplementary. Often the Triptych is set on a base or platform called a Predella, which often has decoration corresponding to the Triptych. Altarpiece Triptychs were very common in Byzantine and western churches during the Medieval and Renaissance periods, and some modern artists such as Max Beckmann continue the tradition.

Trompe l'Oeil
A French term meaning "deception of the eye" and referencing a method of painting rendered in such a photographically realistic manner as to 'trick' the viewer into thinking it is three-dimensional reality. The success of William Harnett's painting, "After the Hunt", created the vogue, which is sometimes called 'illusionism'. A version of Harnett's painting hung in a New York saloon and widely seen, word about it quickly spread. In order for the optical illusion to be created, the objects need to appear close to the viewer. Some critics regard Trompe l'Oeil painting as merely technical exercise rather than aesthetical profundity. Various stories are associated with this type of painting. Reportedly Classical Greek painter, Zeuxis, painted such realistic grapes that the birds tried to eat them, and students of Dutch painter, Rembrandt, painted coins so realistically that he bent down to pick them up. Offshoots of Trompe l'Oeil painting are Photo-Realism, Magic Realism and Surrealism.

Tropical Landscape
A term derived from the 19th-century definition of The Tropics, Central and South America. However, the term has come to mean a broader geographical area, which is the region that lies between 23 1/2 degrees north and south latitudes known as the Torrid Zone. Included are the regions of Africa and the South Pacific as well as South America. 19th-Century North American artists began exploring South America as expedition artists in the 1830s. It was a time of Expansionism and Manifest Destiny, and South American exploration was encouraged by the German naturalist, Alexander von Humboldt. The idea grew that because North and South America shared a geographical unity, South America was well worth visiting by North American artists. Many of them were intrigued by the lush landscape, and among artists linked to 19th century Tropical Landscape painting are Frederick Catherwood, Norton Bush, Martin Johnson Heade, Jacques Burkhardt, George Catlin, Frederick Church, Titian Peale, and James Whistler.

Tsumugi Weaving Technique
A ritualistic Japanese silk weaving method from Ohshima, this has a long tradition of silk production. The process involves these steps: 1)Making the design on graph paper. 2)Starching and drying a group of threads with a seaweed based glue 3) Gluing the necessary number of these threads together 4)Weaving preliminary blocks by binding silk thread (woof) with cotton cotton thread (warp). The number of binding spots can reach several million. 5)Dyeing the binding threads with a mixture of broken pieces of the local Teichigi tree, which has been boiled for 14 hours. This dye process is repeated 30 or 40 times to achieve a dark red. 6)Applying a secondary dye by immersing three or four times in Mud. When readied by these processes, the silk threads are arranged on the Takahata, a weaving machine. Polly Barton of Taos, New Mexico is a weaver whose work both references and transcends Tsumugi methods.

A primary care provider (PCP) is a health care practitioner who sees people that have common medical problems. This person is usually a doctor, but may be a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner. Your PCP is often involved in your care for a long time, so it is important to select someone with whom you will work well.
Family doctor - how to choose one; Primary care provider - how to choose one; Doctor - how to choose a family doctor
A PCP is your main health care provider in non-emergency situations. Your PCP's role is to:
Primary care is usually provided in an outpatient setting. However, if you are admitted to the hospital, your PCP may assist in or direct your care, depending on the circumstances.
Having a primary care provider can give you a trusting, ongoing relationship with one medical professional over time. You can choose from several different types of PCPs:
Many insurance plans limit the providers you can choose from, or provide financial incentives for you to select from a specific list of providers. Make sure you know what your insurance covers before starting to narrow down your options.
When choosing a PCP, also consider the following:
You can get referrals from:
Another option is to request an appointment to "interview" a potential provider. There may be no cost to do this, or you may be charged a co-payment or other small fee. Some practices, particularly pediatric practice groups, may have an open house where you have an opportunity to meet several of the providers in that particular group.
If you do not currently have a primary health care provider, and a health care problem arises, it is usually best to seek non-emergency care from an urgent care center rather than a hospital emergency room. This will often save you time and money. In recent years, many emergency rooms have expanded their services to include reasonably priced urgent care within the emergency room itself or an adjoining area. To find out, call the hospital first.
