Abelardo Morell
Abelardo Morell
(American, 1948)
Abelardo Morell
(American, b.1948) is one of the few remaining contemporary artists specializing in the application of Camera Obscura, an ancient photography technique that uses the obscura camera, a square-shaped structure with a small aperture that permits light to penetrate through the lens, in order to project inverted images from outside. The technique was heavily employed by Renaissance artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci to aid in painting, and Morell uses it to capture amazing images of choice locations around the cities of New York and Boston. Abelardo Morell was born and raised in Cuba, but in 1962, at the height of the Cold War, his family fled to New York City, where he studied at Bowdoin College and graduated with a BFA in 1977. In 1981, Morell received an MFA from Yale University School of Art. He dedicated the next 10 to 15 years of his career to Camera Obscura photography, creating numerous impressive pieces that have been showcased extensively across museums and art galleries in the United States.
In the early 1990s, his works were featured in publications such as the
Philip Morris Collection
Pleasures and Terrors of Domestic Comfort
Fables of the Visible World
(1992), and
Feels Like Home
(1995). His sample images were exhibited in different museums and galleries, such as the North Gallery in Boston (1988), The National Arts Club in New York City (1993), the Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York City (1994), and the Jan Abrams Gallery in Los Angeles (1995). Morell's famous pieces from the 1990s include
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
A Camera in a Room
(1995), and
A Book of Books
(2002). His 2004 publication,
Camera Obscura
, features 60 of the artist's best photographs that he took using the ancient photography technique.
In 2007, filmmaker Allie Humenuk made a documentary about the life and times of this iconic photographer. Morell received an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from his alma mater in 1997. Prior to this, he was awarded multiple fellowships from organizations such as the Cintas Foundation, John Simon Guggenheim, and the New England Foundation. Morell is currently Artist-in-Residence at the Alturas Foundation in South Texas.

Alright guys got in my Trib Test Extreme today!
This is a cutting log btw, but just so everyone knows when i cut i hardly ever lose strength and most of the time gain strength. Dosing with be done 3/3/2 per chuck.
This is a non-sponsored, non-biased review of Trib Test Extreme.. I have used trib products before so i will be comparing.
Diet is clean and cardio is done daily. Workout is down and i train like an animal.
With this product im really looking for "the edge" so to speak, added aggression, increased libido, stuff like that and ill be noting this as i go along.
I just popped my 3 caps and ill be hitting back and tris tonight most likely along with traps!
Im Gettin Diesel, ya digg?
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
say word.
Hey chuck remember when you sent me those R4W caps? Im thinkin about trying it out again, starting at 1 or 2 caps. What do you think?
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
Well i popped a cap anyways. Feeling stimulated, not to much but just to my liking. Seems like 1 cap is my sweet spot! Hahaha.. a 5th of the dose! Nice!
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
You sure bro? I think you sent me the 5 cap one because i remember when i first took it i popped 5 caps and you were like good job starting at the recommended 3 for the first dose.
And i still have the supp facts in front of me and it says serving size 5 caps. lol
Anyways though im liking the feeling, feels just right for me. I wanna get up n do something lol... Ill probly go workout soon here.
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
Hahah yea its pretty crazy, i used to tolerate stims very well. But 1 was right there where i like it!
So anyways i did back today with some tris thrown in and some traps. Workout was sick, i was very motivated and mood was elevated. I dont attribute this to Trib Test yet as i beleive its probly to soon to feel its effects, but to the R4W, had me in a great mood. Sweat was up as well and pumps was rediculous. I still feel the drive even after my workout and my cardio. I feel like going back and tearing up my biceps or something hahah..
So far so good! Nutra says 2-4 days before Trib Test gets back in, but i shall get me some more before this bottle runs out, id just like to get all my stuff at one place. So hurry up nutra!
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
In for your ride
what other supps are your running on the cut? Cals still very low? Nevermind, I just found your cutting for summer log.
Subbed and watching the whole ride long!! Give it Hela bro!! THE THUNDERGOD
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.-Psalm 18:2
GT you holdin it down my brotha?
- Join Me: Tex89 M-Sten RX Log... Dicing that iron -
A girly girl, lol are you going to take that from him!!
Ok guys took my dose this morning. Nothing out of the norm so far. Chest will be tonight. Im hopin to pull 2 cardio sessions again but we shall see. On days i can only do 1 cardio session it will be 45 mins, on days i can do 2 it will be 45 morning 30 at night.

Madvillainy 2: The Box
- Stones Throw
- July 23, 2008
Pre-order ended. Sold out.
The box contains ...
CD Madvillainy "2" The Madlib Remix. 25 tracks. Read more below.
7-INCH "One Beer (Drunk Version)" Madlib's original 2004 version, lost until recently on the floor of his Bomb Shelter studio. If you saw the studio you'd understand.
CASSETTE The Madvillainy Demo Tape. 12 tracks, 36 minutes. This is the first and only official release of the infamous Madvillain demo that "leaked into cyberspace," while the album was still in progress, as DOOM alludes to in the lyrics of "Rhinestone Cowboy."
T-SHIRT Nominated. Best Rolled L's. Madvillain shirt.
COMIC BOOK Meanwhile... the continuation of the All Caps video, included with the CD.
THE BOX 12x13x3 inches.
Madvillainy 2: The Box
Some might say its sacrilege to revisit a classic album like Madvillainy. You know, like George Lucas messing around with Star Wars and digitally inserting Jabba The Hut rapping with Han Solo. But Madlib's never been one to respect convention - and he made this one for headphone listening before a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo. But this reworking (we hate to say remix) was so good that, after we sat with it for a while, we decided that we had to make it available.
Yeah, we're waiting for the new Madvillain too. Every once in a while we hear from DOOM, and he tells us he's getting closer. Madlib still sends him beat CDs. DOOM always remembers our birthdays. But, we don't have the sequel, and we know every nuance of Madvillainy. So we've been bumping this album while we're patiently waiting. And it's been good. Like visiting with a friend who you haven't seen in years and remembering why you were friends to begin with.
So now you get a chance to get in on it too.
The pre-order for this box set will only be available through our website - we just launched our own store. You know, cut out the middleman, fuck the establishment.... That type of vibe. So here we are, saying: "We've got something special. And we're going to sell it to you in a big ass box full of cool ass shit that you won't be able to get anywhere else."
We're manufacturing based on pre-orders. If you order it, you're guaranteed to get one. If you decide to wait, well, you might not. These things are difficult and expensive to make. That's why we're selling them for a lot of money. And you've noticed the ship date right? They're going to take a while to manufacture. So you'll have to wait a little while. We'll do everything we can to beat that ship date, but that's a guaranteed date. If we don't ship on September 15th, Peanut Butter Wolf will DJ at your house for you. Any day except Tuesday.
Madvillainy "2" The Box
$125 plus shipping
Pre-order: until August 15th
Ship date: September 15th

Posted Wednesday, April 17, 2013
As elected officials in Washington debate how to reform the nation's immigration policy, momentum is gaining locally for an effort to attract more immigrants to Northeast Ohio to restock a depleted population. But history shows us immigration waves often are met with fear. Join host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9 as we discuss the case for attracting immigrants -- the highly educated and the low skilled -- and how they can come bearing prosperity.

The dishes selected were some of the premier dining options featured at the town's best restaurants in years past, including dishes from Sultan's Table at the Dunes, Delmonico's at the Riviera, The House of Lords at the Sahara, La Vie en Rose at the Desert Inn and Saver Room at the Aladdin. After spending weeks to once again perfect the iconic dishes, El Cortez's chefs proudly present the vintage dining menu at The Flame Steakhouse (full menu listed in ongoing food and beverage promotions) every Tuesday through Thursday throughout 2011.
The cocktail menu will be served at all casino bars daily throughout 2011. This menu celebrates the history of mixology by educating guests on the origins of classic cocktails while offering a chance for them to enjoy their favorites. The menu will include cocktails such as the side car, which originated in the 1920s during World War I; the mint julep, which originated in the 1700s and is one of the country's oldest cocktails; the blood and sand, a drink from the 1930 premiere of a Rudolph Valentino film; and the aviation, a drink created in the 1910s by the head bartender at the Hotel Wallick in New York.

I keep getting the error message: "MuseSpryAccordion.js requires MuseSpryCommon.js" despite uploading my site (html export) properly with FileZilla. The site works fine when previewed in Muse but it doesn't reflect correctly on host/server, first x10hosting.com and now awardspace.com - http://bitterdays.myartsonline.com/ (varing issues with layout, images, function). What can be done to solve this problem? How do I get MuseSpryCommon.js? Do I need to download another program? How can I prevent such errors in the future?
I right clicked on the scripts folder and went to properties, it says:
Attributes: Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)
Permission: Read (Allowed)
I also went to Advanced Sharing and selected share folder (limit number of
simultaneous users to 20)... Just made the same share changes to the image
& css folders.
Going to try re-loading them to my host and see if it works better.
Please advise further.
Just uploaded the script with new settings as I mentioned but still getting
an error message. See screenshot below. How can I get MuseSpryCommon.js?

when I try to upgrade to the newest version I get the error message: Sorry an error has occurred while updating the application, try updating it again, if the problem persists contact the application author.... Error #0
I also tried to uninstall the program and reinstall it however it won't let me uninstall it I keep getting the message: The feature you are trying to use is in a network resource that is unavailable.
my email is email@example.com and my number is 409-939-2935
I really would like to get this matter resolved, the program has since locked me out. Or if you could just direct me to the right person I would greatly appreciate it.
I don't understand how all of the posts that I have seen has gotten responses and mine shows almost 40 people have viewed it but no one has responded.
I forgot to mention I am using windows 7

Teddy RooseveltTeddy Roosevelt was a weak, asthmatic child who grew up to be one of the most robust and ambitious U.S. presidents ever. A former New York City police commissioner, author, and hero of the Spanish-American War, he reluctantly accepted an offer to become William McKinley's vice president upon McKinley's re-election in 1900. When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt became the youngest man ever to become president. He served two terms, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905, and strengthened the executive branch through his progressive agenda and the sheer force of his personality. He is often remembered for his policy pronouncement, "Speak softly and carry a big stick.". |

Why is the Mac version substantially larger than the Windows version?
Is it because the Mac version is a Universal App, or because the Windows version shares DLLs while the way Mac apps are packed? EDIT: I just answered my question: It is a universal App! Apple should give us the choice to download an Intel only package for Mac!

Stupid Apple
It has never ceased to amaze me that Apple iTunes updates are not only incredibly bloated (100MB for a few fixes), but that they are almost twice the size of their Windows equivalent.
What does this tell us? Two things: 1. Apple is total crap when it comes to partial updating of their software. Sure it is simpler to just make everyone download another 100MB file, but is 100MB really necessary for a few bug fixes? 2. Mac software is bloated compared to Windows, even after they have made a new GUI set for Windows to give it the Mac look. In this vein I should add that Apple insult Windows users by forcing their UI upon Windows users (imagine if MS Office looked like Windows 7 on a Mac). iTunes is bloatware and horribly slow. It often fails to tell the user that files have not been copied when by all appearance they have been. Apple should invest some of their 80 billion dollars to employ some better programmers and testers then perhaps iTunes could be a lot better, and they may also fix the sleep and WIFI problems that 1500 forum postings have complained about.

Snappier or Crappier?
Am I misunderstanding this...? I thought your device had to be plugged in somewhere in order to sync over Wifi.... From the release notes: <<Wi-Fi Syncing. Automatically sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes any time they're both on the same Wi-Fi network.>>

iTunes Match is a great concept and I'm happy with the basic features. But it still needs some polish. My biggest gripes are on the iOS side. Performance of dealing with it in the iOS Music apps on my iPhone 4 and original iPad are terrible.....laggy laggy laggy performance (the iPad version of the app is just terrible in general and sometimes crashes on me...it never did that before). I've seen download error messages an iOS user should never see (like error code numbers). Now, I have a large library (nearly 19,000 tracks), but if the upper match limit is 25K songs, then the performance should work well on my library. Other issues include that automotive connectivity doesn't really deal with iCloud very well. There isn't any way for an auto system (like my wife's Mini Cooper Countryman) to understand that there is a much bigger library that it can access, not just the locally stored songs. GM cars have the same problem. Not sure how you solve that. |

Hope this addresses whatever was making iTunes Match crash everytime. I manually have to turn off iTunes Match everytime I open iTunes. If I forget, iTunes will crash in about 2 minutes. Apple has gotten plenty of my error logs and from the forums, I wasn't alone.
Fingers crossed when I get home. |

How would you propose we do that? By simply turning off iTunes Match and then turning it back on? We could do that before.

1. This package is a full install package, not an incremental update. 2. The reason why is large is because the package bundles both the PowerPC and Intel versions of the App. Otherwise it would be about the same size of the windows package, even smaller as most Mac OS X apps don't require a special installer program like Windows programs do. I don't understand why you would what could have been a good post, talking non-sense; but hey, everyone has the right to give their opinion. The problem is that your comment is making you look really bad.

I hope the matching is better. I can match a song, download it, delete it and then add it back to my library as a matched AAC file but then it uploads like it can't match.
Also I have spent a ton of time since getting this service re-ripipng songs only to have them not match when I know they are in the iTunes store. |

Apparently not. The package is including both Intel (32 & 64-bit) and PowerPC versions.
The included read me file for the package says: iTunes 10.5.2 requirements Hardware: • Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor and 512MB of RAM •*To play Standard Definition video from the iTunes Store, a 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor and 512MB of RAM is required.

Picking a good university
1 post back to top |
Posted over 6 years ago My daughter is currently a freshmen at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, Michigan and looking forward to a nursing career. She is told right up front that there is a 1-1/2 year wait to get into the nursing program. I have started to look at nursing programs at other local area colleges to see if she can get into their nursing programs sooner. Does anyone know anything good or bad about Davenport University in Dearborn, Michigan? Any information would be helpful. If you have information you would like to share only with me please e-mail me at email@example.com Thank you. |

Enabling: A Way Out |
Understanding the Times and Knowing What to Do
Living Free Every Day® Today's Scripture Thoughts for Today God does not want us to enable others in their wrongdoing. Neither does he enable us when we choose to walk in disobedience to him. He loves us too much to enable us in our wrongdoing. He knows that we will not come to our senses and change our ways unless he allows us to suffer the natural consequences of what we do. The great thing is that, just like the father of the prodigal son, our heavenly Father is loving us and watching for us. He wants us to come home and will run out to meet us, showering his love, mercy and forgiveness on us when we return. Consider this
Perhaps you have been locked into a downward spiral and feel as though there is no way out. God always provides a way. He is just waiting for you to come to him with a repentant heart. His arms are open wide no matter what you have done. Jesus has already paid the price for your sin. Receive his forgiveness. He loves you unconditionally and is waiting to help you. Prayer These thoughts were drawn from

So-named because it can be made with stale bread that would otherwise be lost (perdu), this dish is a brunch classic. It's low fat as is, but you can dress it up by serving with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if you like.
Pain Perdu with Maple Blueberry Sauce
Multi-Bran Blueberry Banana Bread
A slice of this quick loaf makes an easy and healthy breakfast, that's even portable. Add a yogurt or glass of milk to make a balanced meal.
Cranberry Flaxseed Muffins
If you have a coffee grinder, grind the flaxseeds in it in batches. You may want to keep a coffee grinder just for grinding seeds and nuts.
Strawberries in Chocolate Tuxedoes

MOHAI- Must Go
May 13, 2008 Wine Comments OffIt sounds like an incredible evening of wine tasting at MOHAI's "Debuts & Discoveries Celebrates 75th Anniversary of the End of Prohibition†on June 4. MOHAI — the Museum of History and Industry — is going all out for this sixth annual event.
There will be pours from more than 40 new northwest wineries including Flying Trout, Sleight of Hand, Airfield Estates, Pondera and Hestia Cellars, in addition to samples from chefs from some of Seattle's newest restaurants.
And we can't forget the amazing photo displays and other exhibits at MOHAI — for example, "Essential Seattle" tells the story of Seattle's transformation from the frontier to a fabulous city. And did I mention that proceeds of this event help MOHAI's community outreach programs?
Tickets are $40 and can be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets or by calling 800-838-3006. "Debuts & Discoveries" is produced by Sommelier David LeClaire, who recently started a new social club for wine enthusiasts called Seattle Uncorked. We became members a few months ago – there are some great offers to check out at the Seattle Uncorked Web site.
Hope to see you there!

0.5 starson by killymanPros: Can't think of any since product didnt' work well
Cons: Bugs, incompetent tech support
Summary: I'm a computer consultant with hundreds of clients and I usually recommend Acronis True Image to my clients for their back up solutions. I decided to try Norton Save and Restore 2.0 to see if it was any easier to use and maintain. When I tried to create a recovery CD I kept getting an error about Mining Drivers and after an hour with Symantec tech support chat the tech rep said my CD drive may not be compatible with the GEAR software they use to create the recovery CD. Anyhow, he tried to get me to email a third party company to have them check my Dell CD drive to see if it is compatible. At that point I just decided to give up and use something I know works on every computer I have ever installed it on regardless of the CD drive brand. And that product is Acronis True Image. It may not be perfect, but Acronis True Image works and works well enough to do the job.
Stay away from this Symatec product unless you feel like being a guinea pig and have a lot of time to waste trying to figure out why the product will not work.Updated
Just a follow up note. The product did work as far as backing up goes. I had no problem there, although I only did one initial back up job. But, if you can't create a recovery CD, then it kind of defeats the purpose of being able to easily recover from a hardware or system failure.

Prada Skis By Volant
We checked out the upcoming Prada phones earlier today, but the new Prada Skis by Volant are far more appealing at the moment. After all - ski season is just hitting its stride while those phones won't be out for several months. The skis are limited edition with a silver finish and Prada's signature red strip in the center, as well as acid-etched logos in the topsheet and die-cut aluminum base logos. Volant has over a half century of experience at ski making and is well known for their high quality work, so it's a good match for Prada, which may be the first fashion house to make a big impact on the slopes in an area other than winter clothing. The skis will be available through Volant dealers. Price: $1,495, including Atomic's 4Tix binding.

At DeCarlo's Bar and Grill, chefs take an innovative approach to burger making. Rather than piling toppings on the outside of the burger, they stuff flavorful ingredients—such as pepper jack cheese, bacon, or jalapenos—directly between two quarter-pound patties. These signature burgers ooze juicy fillings and gossip with every bite, and they star on a menu of pub fare also populated by hearty sandwiches, fried appetizers, customized pizzas, and a variety of draft beers and cocktails.
A new player in the O'Fallon restaurant scene, K Pub & Grill shakes up the dining experience with an expansive pub menu and a smoke-free atmosphere. Pummel hunger pangs with the beef brisket in a zesty barbecue sauce ($13.99), or slap them with the chili-teriyaki-glazed tails of crispy fried jumbo shrimp (10 for $12.99). Seven specialty pizzas, including the Philly beef and cheese, slathered in A1 steak sauce ($15.99), vie silently for gustatory attention. A carnivorous theme runs through the menu, with wings available in barbecue pork ($6.99) and superhot chicken ($6.29). Flame-retardant mouths can test their strength by taking the hot-wings challenge, a 15-minute eat-off that ends with a photo on either the Wall of Champions or the Wall of Shame.
Metromix called Brewskeez "a happening place." It's not hard to see why. The O'Fallon pub broadcasts sports games from nine televisions and two large projectors while bartenders pour drinks. In the kitchen, cooks grill brioche rolls to cradle burgers and load thin-crust pizzas with savory toppings. Patrons can send glossy balls careening across pool tables, listen to live music, and aim darts or sharpened silverware at bull's-eyes. Though Brewskeez's interior is smoke-free, its outdoor patio accommodates smokers.
To accompany a menu that sates appetites with hearty pub eats, including their popular $0.99 burgers, The Babylon houses more than 20 whistle-wetting draft beers. Patrons may also reserve a party room for free and come in on Saturdays for live musical performances.
Everything from the pickle spears to the guacamole finds the deep fryer at Kokomos Bar and Grill. The crispy fried appetizers complement a selection of unimpeachable pub food. There's a half-pound burger with sautéed mushrooms and swiss cheese, and another one with bacon and Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce. Also on the menu are cheesesteaks and pizzas for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. For entertainment, guests can toss darts at a dartboard, arcade game, high-definition TV, or occasional live-music act.
