Os Gemeos Paint FIFA World Cup Boeing 737
Those terrible twins, Os Gemeos have just painted a Boeing 737 for Team Brasil's FIFA World Cup transportation.
It's ridiculous. Apparently they used over 1200 cans of paint.

Eye-opening short little video about the favelas in Brazil which are being torn down to make way for a new cable car to service the World Cup.
Some of these buildings have the work of VNA issue 22 cover artist Vhils chiseled onto them and in this video we hear from some of the people who live in these homes and have had their face immortalised on the side of them by him – well until they get torn down that is.
Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra has just finished his tribute to the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who passed away last December at the age of 104. The new mural is 52 meters tall, 16 meters wide and it covers the entire side of a skyscraper on Paulista Avenue, one of Sao Paulo's busiest streets.

We all know that Brazil and South America are smashing it big time in the art game at the moment and it's always nice to check out some work by artists you may not have heard of before. B-47 is formed by artists FRG and DME from Santo Andre who have been working together since the 90′s and get up to some really nice stuff.
Our man Charlie loves Brazil and for two years running has been fortunate enough to hang out with some amazing artists at Meeting of the Favelas. Check out the film he put together for us…
This week we are spoilt for choice with exhibitions, a delicious melting pot of styles, cultures and approaches! Here are our top picks for the week..
Cranio – Lost in London
Anyone who has walked the streets of London in the last few weeks will have been pleasantly surprised to see an army of blue Amazonian characters taking over our walls. Cranio is from Sao Paulo, Brazil and has come over to London to see how his indigenous men will be perceived by us, as he paints light hearted pieces with deeper underlying questions oabout consumerism, identity, corruption and the environment. He explains: "I want to show things that are happening with the indigenous people living in Brazil. Some of them are trying to adapt; others have adapted really well to capitalism; others are trying to sell the Brazilian rainforest to grab some money and a cool iPhone."
The exhibition itself opens at Red Bull Studios, Tooley St tomorrow night, 15th and runs until Monday 19th.
Louis Masai – AfroFabRicatiOn
We've been a fan of Louis' beautiful large-scale personified animals for a while now and can't wait to see what his solo show has in store. Louis has an incredible love and respect for nature and his place in the world and that passion shines through in his work. His work currently focuses on African fabric patterns and animals, this concept has crept seamlessly into this exciting new collection in the form of the Pencil Case Thieves.
Expect taxidermy and reclaimed materials galore among other things. This promises to be like nothing you've ever seen before. It opens tomorrow night, 15th at Nancy Victor Gallery, Charlotte Place, W1T 1SG and runs until 7th December. RSVP email@example.com to attend the opening night.
Check out this video of Louis talking about his work, shot by Tee Byford.

We'll let this video do the talking…
In association with Asos' Puma Black Collection.
Duco Coops shot this super nice video of Brazilian artist Urso Morto (Dead Bear) while in São Paulo recently.
The film follows the artist on a project where he hands out t-shirts to homeless people and paints the odd wall along the way.
Check it…
Pixacao bombers in Sao Paulo take out a big mural featuring Os Gemeos, Nunca and others…
And with good reason too… Turns out this mural was commisioned by the goverment using R$200,000 of public funds. The mural reads "R$ 200,000 in makeup, and the city is in calamity." Dont get me wrong I love a bit of Os Gemeos and this is not about them or the others commisioned to do this mural but they have a point. Im sure the goverment could have spent that money a bit more wisely on some of the poorer parts of the city (Especially with all the recent flooding in poor areas). What a mess. This is the full bombed mural…
Turns out it was all cleaned off that same night by city cleaners no doubt at much cost.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan) started mass-producing system LSIs at its semiconductor factory (pictured) in Uozu in Central Japan using the world's first 45-nm process. The 45-nm process enables a higher density circuit and offers higher speeds and savings in power consumption and chip size.The process should enable the evolution of digital consumer products requiring more functionality, faster speed, and lower power consumption. Compared to the best conventional 65-nm process system LSIs, the new 45-nm process may reduce power consumption and required surface area by approximately two-thirds or one-half. Matsushita, known globally for its Panasonic brand electronics and appliances, developed three key technologies to enable the new 45-nm process. These include use of an ArF immersion scanner with a numerical aperture (NA) greater than 1. The immersion scanner delivers the ultrafine geometry of the 45-nm node in conjunction with the company's proprietary super-resolution enhancement technology. Another key technology is the use of a stress-induced, mobility-enhanced transistor that achieves high speed and low power consumption in miniaturization, and a highly reliable, multi-layer, wiring technology using low-k dielectrics. The third key technology is design for manufacturability. Matsushita based the 45-nm process on high-precision variability modeling and design technology to achieve the higher performance and higher yields.

Biography: Will Hutton
Will Hutton is chair of the Big Innovation Centre, a business lead do tank and innovation hub that promotes open innovation. He is also the former executive vice chair of The Work Foundation. Will is an outstanding conference facilitator and keynote speaker on European and global economic issues.
Will began his career as a stockbroker and investment analyst, before working in BBC TV and radio as a producer and reporter. From 1983-88 he was the Economics Editor on 'Newsnight' and a reporter for 'Panorama'. From 1981-83 he was the Producer/Director of 'The Money Programme' for BBC2 and from 1978-81 he was the producer/editor of Radio 4's programme 'The Financial World Tonight'. Before joining The Work Foundation, Will spent four years as editor in chief of the Observer and he continues to write a weekly column for the paper.
"In the online survey we did after the conference, Will got the following scores: Excellent: 33% Up to my expectations: 48% . Below average: 16% . Very poor: 3%.
Some people apparently had difficulties in understanding Will (both pace and use of difficult words). But overall Will is amongst the highest appreciated speakers of the conference."
The Work Foundation is an independent, not for dividend research based consultancy which is the most influential voice on work, workplace and employment issues in Britain. Will resigned from his position as executive vice Chair in 2011. He is now Chair of the Big Innovation Centre, which exists to make the UK a global open innovation hub, to build a world-class innovation ecosystem, and re-balance and grow the UK economy.
Will has written several best-selling economic books including The World We're In, The State We're In, The State to Come, The Stakeholding Society and On The Edge with Anthony Giddens. The State We're In was the first best seller on political economy for a generation. Will's book, The Writing on the Wall: China and the West in the 21st Century, was published in the UK in January 2007.
Will is now the Principal of Hertford College, Oxford. He prveiously won the Political Journalist of the Year award and has written a weekly column for more than 15 years, six years at the Guardian and nine at the Observer.

1965 Fender Bassman Aa165 Blackface Amp & Fender 2×12 Speaker Cabinet
Fender 59 FSR Limited Edition Bassman 50w 4x10 Comb Blondman 75 Made
Offered here as a kit is a vintage 1965 (Sept.) post-CBS Fender Bassman 50 Model AA165 Blackface Amp Head and Fender 2 x 12" Spkr Cab both in near mint condition and together since purchased individually by myself (2nd owner) in late 60's-early 70's – truly one of the cleanest kits you'll find anywhere. Caveat Emptor - detractors to this otherwise near perfect kit is that the speakers (Scorpion) are not original and one has a little scratchiness at lower db's (orig. Jensen spec speakers 'C12N' are easily found at many sources online i.e. US Speakers, mojotone, etc. for about $80 a pop). Also Note: piggyback clip bars were installed on this amp head when I purchased – apparently because of variations in guitar/bass amp box dimensions and/or location of thumbscrew on cab, not all Fender amp heads are compatible with various spkr box thumbscrew sets for use with these clip bars including items offered.
This set was climate-control stored for 20+ years and has been extremely well cared for in & out of use. Professionally semi-rebuilt head to AA165 specs in 2002 (only components replaced were capacitors, resistors, 6L6 tubes & 3-prong cord). All tubes were replaced again in 2003 with best quality/performance ones available – otherwise unit is all original components and performs beautifully . Grill cloth on both units are perfect (no snags/tears) with raised Fender logos in near perfect condition/finish. Tolex & blackface silk screen on amp head are near perfect (sm blem on Tolex at lower back L corner & sm scratch on silkscreen near "Fender Musical Instruments") – Tolex on spkr cab has very minor scuffs/wear & small discoloration from tilt bar on one side (see in pics) - the corner guard plates have some scuffing/abrasion also. This unit did about 6 prof. gigs before being stored and was used very little (for practice) since re-build. The sound is as you would expect from this classic tube amp – incredible!…rich and mellow. You won't be disappointed with this package. Prefer local delivery, but can arrange professional packing/shipping/insurance at buyer's expense.
Have complete wiring schematic and will send with unit. If you have any questions or need additional pics or info please let me know.

Beating the random walk in Central and Eastern Europe
AbstractWe compare the accuracy of vector autoregressive (VAR), restricted vector autoregressive (RVAR), Bayesian vector autoregressive (BVAR), vector error correction (VEC) and Bayesian error correction (BVEC) models in forecasting the exchange rates of five Central and Eastern European currencies (Czech Koruna, Hungarian Forint, Slovak Koruna, Slovenian Tolar and Polish Zloty) against the US Dollar and the Euro. Although these models tend to outperform the random walk model for long-term predictions (6 months ahead and beyond), even the best models in terms of average prediction error fail to reject the test of equality of forecasting accuracy against the random walk model in short-term predictions.

5'd AND REVIEWED
This is definitely the best movie on newgrounds. Count me in on adding this to my top favorite.
That was random...(But funny LOL!!!)
Add some more color and adventures. Great voice acting! Good drawings. Everything else was good. I give it a 10. Nuf said.
You should thank me
I was the savior of this movie
I think that means it stayed here because of me. So your welcome
Nice Flash Btw
You sell yourselves short!
The animation was splendid - the voices were great, but i think some 'real' sound effects would be in order, and maybe a little bit of a musical score behind it all... eh? Fruity Loops, man... get it, love it. Use it.
Maybe it was just me, but it felt like the PLAY button wasn't the easiest to click on... maybe you guys need to just increase the clickable area on it? I got it before i could really judge if that was the problem or not.
Oh, and some background stuff would be cool too - get something like ART RAGE and make some funky lookin' background and put it as a stationary image behind all the action.
Well, those are my comments and suggestions! Good work! Keep it up!
This was one of the most random movies I've seen in a while. Absolutely awesome. Keep it up.

Adrian Beltre is here for our amusement. Not so we can laugh at him, but so we can laugh with him. The latest in his never-ending series of random entertainment came on Sunday, when Beltre decided that he was going to get himself out of a rundown by taking off for left field, rather than be caught at third base by a tag:
Beltre ninjas his way out of being tagged, but the ump makes the right call -- left field is just ever-so-slightly out of the basepath. Even better than Beltre taking off knowing he was doomed, however, is that Astros shortstop Jake Elmore gave chase: Beltre was out from the moment that Elmore began to hunt him down, by virtue of running out of the basepath, but Elmore wasn't going to let a little thing like the rules get in the way of his prey.
I kind of wish umpire Phil Cuzzi had just let Elmore chase Beltre until he finally applied the tag, or waited to signal out until Beltre actually made it to third safely after running a few laps.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 723 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sydney09 This hotel has excellent service Our stay in the hotel was very full filling. The staff is very helpful, room was excellent and well kept. The restaurant offers excellent food. Hats off for keeping STARBUCKS inside the hotel!!! July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roobear Great Stay Quick trip but comfortable and a nice hotel July 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by overlandsolo Tired room; disappointing service I spent two nights in early October, 2013. While the location is good, my room needs a makeover and the service was disappointing. Three times I tried to get assistance in the lobby, either at the concierge desk or front desk, and the sites were either vacant or lines were long. (I did successfully get a map at the concierge desk.) Twice I tried to get a cab at the entry. Once was a long wait (for the bellman to arrive, and then for the cab to arrive). The second time I simply whistled for my own cab. Sheratons used to be my staple lodging, but the excellence and value have disappeared. October 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MSJohn Very average for trhew price I was disappointed that a hotel of this stature would not provide as daily newspaper or place my bill under the door the night before checkout. i would say that the staff was minimally responsive and rather unhelpful when I made reservations. July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by htom Overall good stay but one major putoff My stay was great as well as the room. Very nice amenities and the room was clean. The one issue, which was not really resolved was when I came back to my room after the housekeeping was finished and the door was left open. I was agreeably worried and careful to make sure the the room was not entered or burglarized. I made a call to facilities and nothing was resolved. May 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JHelen Nice room but a few things are missing from the hotel The room was comfortable and, for the most part, clean. The desk chair and other furniture were in good condition. In other hotels, the desk chair and other furniture are frequently worn or damaged. This was not the case here. The room was kept up. Disappointments were -- dirty toilet seat (YUCK!), Coasters under glasses by ice bucket and coffee maker needed to be replaced. The hotel was also lacking the basic convenience of vending machines for easy access to chips, sodas, etc. Or perhaps a little store for late-night snacks (could be operated by desk staff). One shouldn't have to order room service at 3am for a soda. Room service menu lacked variety and was extremely expensive. The easy access to the wonderful mall was a huge plus! Starbucks in the lobby was way too expensive (so what else is new). $8 for orange juice and a bagel. Walk to the mall and pay <$4 for the same thing. Hotel is far from historical landmarks and other points of interest, but good for conferences (Convention Center attached). Easy access to Legal Seafoods in the Mall is GREAT! I got takeout twice! But most of the restaurants are chains. July 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lindsey66 Great location - otherwise average *Positives*: My room overlooked the Charles River, and I could walk indoors from the hotel to the Prudential Center shops and eateries. The staff was friendly and mostly effective, and the shower head had nice spray options. *Negatives*: Took almost two hours to check in. Bed pillows too big to be comfortable. Food very average for our conference meals. TV reception was sputtering. Meeting rooms were too cold. July 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nick2013 Unacceptable Wait Times At least employees were friendly when you were actually able to talk to one. However, service was non-existent. Lines were beyond unacceptable. All hotel services were ridiculously understaffed. I waited almost 30 minutes to check in - then upon arriving at my room, it hadn't even been cleaned. I complained and did receive a different room. Throughout the entire stay, every time I walked through the lobby, there were always many guests waiting in line (normally 10+ guests and only 1 person working the desk). Phones were constantly ringing in the lobby, going completely unanswered. I never received my bill prior to checkout as expected. So, I went to the lobby to get a copy. I unsuccessfully waited in line for 10+ minutes to receive my bill (the line was 10+ people) and the line never moved as the same initial person was still being served (once again only 1 person working the desk) so I gave up, dropped my keys in the box, and hoped I wouldn't be randomly overcharged for anything. I then went to have my luggage stored by the Bell captain. I waited 15 minutes before even seeing an employee along with the 20+ other people waiting. There were also 30+ pieces of luggage just sitting in the middle of the lobby. I saw people walk up and walk off with luggage (not sure if it was theirs and they gave up waiting or if they decided to steal some - the hotel wouldn't know either way because there was no one around). At the end of the day, I had to wait another 15-20 minutes to get my luggage back. I really wanted to complain to someone in person, but I was unwilling to wait over an hour to complain about having to wait an unacceptable amount of time. One could argue (poorly) that due to the Biomaterials Meeting as well as local Marathon events that the hotel was going to be busy. I could have predicted that as well and if it looked like the hotel was making a reasonable effort, I would have understood having worked in the restaurant / hotel industry while younger. But having 1-2 employees working the desk checking in / checking out guests for a hotel of 1200+ rooms is not only poor planning, but poor management, service, and completely unacceptable for a 4* hotel. April 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by FrankJ68 Elevators & pool The elevators were abysmally slow. And the pool was cloudy / disgusting. There's no reason not to be able to see the bottom of a swimming pool!! July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cuddles1 Room comfort The shade lets too much light into the room on the sides. You need a valance on both sides of the shade. July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Janinee3 Hopefully transformed for next visit Having stayed there many times in the past on those so comfortable Sweet Sleeper mattresses in a nice clean room, I was surprised how rundown the rooms have gotten. The oh so Sweet Sleepers felt like they were put in boxes with sheets over them. Sheets with hair I may add. The bathtub had chips in it and the room smelled like mildew. This was a club room which supposedly was updated. They switched me to another one which was exactly the same. Finally I was switched to the top floor suite which was 100% better. The air was fresh, the mattresses Sweet, and the room was squeaky clean. Well, I didn't know I was reserving a room during renovations so hopefully the hotel will be as good as new soon. Location is the best! January 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JohnDoe6 No Heater! My room sat at around 62-65 degrees at night. After the first night I asked the staff to take a look at the heater in my room and was told that the heater would not be turned on until the end of October. The staff was curtious and did provide extra blankets but unfortunately that was not enough. I will not return to this location. For the price of the room I shouldn't have to freeze all night. I have stayed at Starwood Hotels all over the world and must say I have never encountered this issue at any other location but perhaps I just don't travel to that many cold cities. October 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by gklobuchar Average rooms: complete with fruit flies and double beds Rooms are small and average at best. Certainly not worth the price (good location though) Upon sign-in was told they overbooked and could not honor the king bed reservation and ended up in North Tower with two double beds, fruit flies and a view of the roof air conditioning units. May 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ianbmack Need some work at this property.. The doors slam so loudly it wakes the hall up, the water pressure is inadequate, and when I went to check out at 6am there was no one at the desk an no taxi starter!! Five of us waiting to check out and no one there to help. The beds were good and the food was pretty good. The bathroom was so small you could barely turn around. May 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jim00 My thoughts First impressions of the lobby area was not good, not the wow factor I was expecting for a Sheraton. Also, the room we had was so small with small doors. barely room for two to get around. We do have a Sheraton Hotel where we live, and it is beautiful. Lets just say I was disappointed. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terrie1825 Our Sheraton Experience this review is for the 2 rooms I book. One was a regular room facing the Charles River. The view was beautiful. The room itself was tiny. One side of the bed was so close to the wall that my husband had to turn sideways to get in and out. Also, there was no bedside table on that side (not enough room) and that was uncomfortable- no place to put eyeglasses or a clock etc. The bathroom in this room need refurbishing. The tub was chipped and stained. Pretty disgusting! We were disappointed in this room. The other room was an accessable suite. Although the room was wonderful, it was the furthest room from the elevator making it difficult for my disabled father to reach. He uses a walker most to the time and this distance required him to use a wheelchair. I do think a room for a disabled person should be near the elevator! July 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dj70 not up to Sheraton's usual standards We have been satisfied guests at this Sheraton many times over the past 8 years. This time was not up to our expectations. 1. there was not enough staff at check-in to handle a busy weekend: only1 clerk for regular line/he had same customer for 20 minutes and line kept getting longer, 2 clerks for gold/platinum, which we were not, but went to that line out of desperation. 2. AC on automatic kept getting colder and colder. We were told to move floor lamp, but that did not solve problem. We didn't call back because it was middle of the night and next day we were too busy. We just shut it off. 3. Room was near elevator and noisy, not quiet location as requested in reservation. 4. Elevators took long time to come. Positive: good view. September 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mensate Far Too Expensive Had a junior suite. Big but the extra space was dead space in the foyer. No refrigerator. No other amenities. Staff was very good. No restaurant. Connection to Prudential Center was very convenient but the hotel is far far too expensive for what it offers. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry14 Excellent Staff Every staff person that we encountered provided conscientious and thoughtful service. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and upon hearing this, Joe Herrin at the front desk provided some extras that really made our stay a memorable one at the Sheraton Boston. The room was great and the club room staff did a great job May 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimtraveller A wonderful stay! This is the first time dad and I visited Boston. The stay at Sheraton was great! We got upgraded to a spacious suite with a wonderful high floor view to the river and MIT campus. The location is great, you can walk to subway which can get you around or to/from Logan airport. The club lounge was spacious and food selection was wonderful. Staff there was very helpful and diligent in terms of getting things straightened out. We checked in very smoothly and quickly. The front desk lady was very pleasant and helpful. A great stay and highly recommend! August 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Merfee I Expected Better The room was tiny, the chair almost useless; and the bathroom VERY tiny. When sitting on the toilet you have to be a contortionist to reach the toilet paper. After the room was made up, the comforter was just thrown on the chair, not folded neatly. The conference room was freezing, and the dining room even more so. No matter how many complaints were made the temperature never changed. July 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan321 Excellent for large group meetings The conference facilities were very spacious. The staff in the lobby restaurant were outstanding, which elevated a routine dinner to delightful! FYI- north tower rooms very small, but close to activities; south tower more modern and spacious, but long walk to lobby. July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MensaMikey Nice Place to Stay Great bed, great sleep. Only thing that didn't work was the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Otherwise, everything was fine. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bronx53 Beautiful room, corner suite The room was neat and clean, the amenities were excellent, and refilled as needed, the comfort of the bed was very good, July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MensaS Internet, food, a/c Our room was pretty and comfortable. The internet in the lobby was very slow. It was almost unusable. The food for the Mensa event was poor. It was all simple carbs and sugar. The meeting rooms were frigid. July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Larry39 There for a convention The staff was very courteous. The room was a decent size. The pool was rather nice for doing lap swimming. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lasttimeatthishotel Service is King here This hotel has got it right..they understand the art of good customer service and they consistently deliver. I have stayed here over a dosen times and they have never failed to provide the untmost in great customer service. Well done!! July 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Satelliteman Home away from home with many features Located very close to many nearby (walking distance) places of interest, dining, entertainment and history. Quiet and comfortable rooms and common areas. Attention given for making your stay very pleasant, staff very informative and helpful. I have stayed here for several years and will continue to return. Many thanks for all you do. April 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Liamk Loud hotel Beautiful hotel. Problem was there was a huge party and people partying and loud in hallways all night. April 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JN47 Inconvenient elevators We stayed at this facility to attend the Anime Boston convention. We booked a quiet hall room, but did not get it and we were not told this upon check in. After one noisy, sleepless night we were moved to a quiet room. The elevators are always full, broken and it was quicker to walk the 12 flights of stairs - even with all our bags. The wait for the elevator could run as much as 10 - 15 minutes. Thought it would be easy to stay here but will not next year for the convention. May 27, 2013

Giovanni Battista Cipriani, (born 1727, Florence, Italy—died Dec. 14, 1785, London, Eng.), painter who was the first exponent in England of Neoclassicism and who played an important part in directing 18th-century English artistic taste.
Cipriani was a pupil of the Anglo-Florentine painter Ignazio Hugford. In 1750 he went to Rome, where he encountered nascent Neoclassicism and met members of the English colony there. The architect Sir William Chambers and the sculptor Joseph Wilton took him to England in 1755. His work there largely consists of illusionistic murals for the decoration of private residences such as Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire, and Lansdowne House, London, both designed by Robert Adam. He was also a prolific draftsman of classical and allegorical subjects.

Alan G. Brake.
Attention Frank Lloyd Wright fans! You can satisfy two Wright cravings with this one event. Head over the the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum to catch a screening of Kenneth Love's lush new documentary Fallingwater: Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterwork with Reflections of Edgar Kaufmann Jr. The film, which was supported by the James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation, the Estate of Edgar Tafel, and the Laurel Foundation, will be screened in the museum's New Media Theatre on October 21 and 28 and November 4 and 18 at 1:00 and 3:00 pm. The screenings are free with the price of admission to the museum. It's the perfect marriage of content and container. Wright would approve.
Quick Clicks> Falwell Booked, Maizes, Seasonal High Line, and Picasso in Black and White
Monday, October 17, 2011
Tyler Silvestro.
Build me a library. Jerry Falwell Jr., current president and chancellor of Liberty University, will now see to it that there is also a library constructed in his remembrance. Inspired by Jeffersonian style, a favorite of the former minister, the library will be the largest building constructed on the university's campus. Liberty University has more info.
It's that time of year again. Corn mazes are sprouting up all over the country and gaining popularity. The NY Times reports on how one family got lost and phoned in the authorities in order to be retrieved.
Falling for the High Line. It's autumn in New York and the High Line blog featured a few photos of fall transforming the elevated park.
Let the countdown begin. Picasso returns to the Guggenheim Museum in an exhibit that will exclusively showcase his black and white works. Drawings, paintings and sculptures from around the world will fill the Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda, according to the NY Times.

Inside the Archtober Building of the Day #14: the Metropolitan Tower
The Metropolitan Tower is the wedge-shaped, Darth Vader-like all black glass monolith next to Carnegie Hall. Rising a tidy 716 feet in 77 stories of offices in the low-rise portion and residences in the high rise, the AIA Guide to New York City tells us that its developer Harry Macklowe claimed to have designed it himself. Not true! Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron (now SLCE Architects) get the credit for the 1987 tower.
Comment> The Rights of the Neighborhoods
Friday, October 14, 2011
Teddy Cruz.
A Call to Action for the Rights of Neighborhoods
This new social contract is based off of the historical model of the Second Bill of Rights that was delivered by Franklin D. Roosevelt on January 11, 1944.
It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for rethinking the American Dream. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure. Communities in need are not free communities. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
SOM, with Kung Fu Panda, Wins Nanjing Waterfront Competition

Alan G. Brake.
Today, SOM announced it has been selected by Beijing-based MCCC Real Estate to redesign the Nanjing waterfront. The redevelopment will extend two-kilometers from the Yangtze River levee to the old city wall. The plan calls for renovating existing rail bridges and an old power station into new cultural and commercial spaces, preserving existing trees, and adding a hotel and other amenities along a renovated shipping canal. The plan also calls for remediating waterways for public access and recreation.
Highlights from Monterey 2011: No Theme, No Problem
Friday, October 14, 2011
Kenneth Caldwell.
For the first time in 20 confabs the Monterey Design Conference, the AIA California Council's bi-annual gathering of architectural talent and inspiration, didn't follow a theme. One participant said that this year's event was about materiality and light; others talked about science, optimism, and the potential of the future. The organizers did an excellent job reaching out to diverse voices and knew that each attendee would concoct their own theme. After many years the event has evolved to the point it doesn't need too many impositions.
Performer: An Auto-Affirmation for Everyone

Cindy Yewon Chun.
Next time you are in Times Square, don't be shy when you see a spotlight– no matter how lame your dance moves are, you are guaranteed an explosive roar of applause from an invisible, enthusiastic crowd of people as long as you are moving. (What a refreshing departure from the notorious American Idol jury.) This location-appropriate spotlight installation is an interactive public art work by Adam Frank, an installation artist and a product inventor, whose body of work "represents an ongoing investigation of light and interactivity." His shadow-casting oil lamp, LUMEN, is one of the MoMA Store's best-selling items.
Trahan's Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Museum

|Brought to you with support from:

Cast stone and steel become the medium for collaboration at Trahan Architects' newest project.
Trahan Architects' Louisiana State Sports Hall Of Fame and Regional History Museum was designed with northern Louisiana's geography in mind. Located in Natchitoches, the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase, the 28,000-square-foot building overlooks Cane River Lake at the boundary of the Red River Valley. While the museum's exterior will be clad in a skin of cypress planks, a nod to the area's timber-rich building stock, the interior spaces will be formed by a skin of more than 1,000 cast stone panels resembling land shaped by eons of moving water. As the panels begin to be installed, AN went behind the scenes to learn how the project is taking shape.
Inside the Building of the Day #13
We are up in the Bronx again today, this time further north in the Morris Heights neighborhood. The Francis Martin Library, named after the first district attorney from the Bronx, was built in 1956, and sits atop a hill on a prominent corner of University Avenue. The University is Bronx Community College, now housed in what was originally the McKim Mead and White Heights Campus for New York University. Be sure to check out the original Hall of Fame there. 1100 Architect has made its own Hall of Fame for the kids' library. Stanley Kubrick, Chaim Potok, Herman Wouk, Colin Powell even Fiorello LaGuardia himself are part of a graphic game on the warm white walls that undulate around the core of the children's library renovation on the second floor.
Video> Noguchi Museum Takes Civic Action
Thursday, October 13, 2011
Tom Stoelker.
With buses running from the Lever House on Park Avenue, the Noguchi Museum was flush with Manhattanites last night for the opening of Civic Action: A Vision for Long Island City. The show of ideas by local artist teams—led by Natalie Jeremijenko, Mary Miss, Rirkrit Tiravanija and George Trakas—fleshes out urban dreams for the mostly industrial area. In anything but an autocratic manner, the show—the first ever at the museum to include contemporary artists and not Noguchi—encourages dialogue between large institutions, government, and the public.

Beautiful monument, Pretty landscaping. Not located at the Pony Express Museum but it is worth the short drive.
We stopped here on our way out of town. It is located a busy street, but there is parking around the block. We parked right in front of it and walked over without having to cross any street. They have four stone markers placed at each corner detailing history about the Pony Express. There is a geocache hidden around here...
You will have to park in a local fast food company's parking lot & cross a busy street to get there. Don't touch the bushes because they have thorns. There is a geo cache hidden there somewhere that I can't seem to find despite multiple attempts.
This is a nice statue located at a three road intersection, next to City Hall. Best parking is on Francis St. There is another nice statue in front of City Hall "No Turning Back."
Very nice monument for the Pony Express! We enjoyed looking at it and visiting it. St Joseph MO is a very nice town to visit!
It is a must see, just beautiful. It is an important part of our history and settling of the west. It was well located and easy to find.
Statue is pretty big, and is worthy of a picture. This is not located near the pony express museum though. There is a small park across the street from the museum that has a couple of markers and a train. This statue is several blocks away from all that. Check it out!
Our first stop and there was much picture taking, was a great starting point of our tour.
A must see and compelling statue, commerating this great chapter in American courage and entrepreneurism.
If you want to brag to relatives when you return from a trip. This is the place to tell the world you got to Saint Joseph, Missouri

5 Players Who Will Shine In Week 1 For The New England Patriots
Week 1: 5 Players Who Will Shine For The New England Patriots
After a very interesting offseason, the New England Patriots enter the season once again as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. There are plenty of familiar faces back, but there were also many changes made, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.
Wes Welker is now catching passes from Peyton Manning, Brandon Lloyd is looking for a job and Aaron Hernandez is trying not to spend the rest of his life behind bars. To help fill the void left by these pass catchers, the Patriots brought in wide receiver Danny Amendola via free agency. Amendola is a big injury risk, but the talent and upside is surely there. Also, the Patriots drafted Aaron Dobson in the 2nd round and Josh Boyce in the 4th back in April. Ahead of both Dobson and Boyce on the depth chart right now is undrafted rookie Kenbrell Thompkins, who has impressed all preseason. Tight end Rob Gronkowski is struggling with injuries and it is unknown when he will be ready to go. Zach Sudfeld, another undrafted rookie, has also been impressive and will try to help fill the tight end void. The names may be different, but I think we still see a very productive offense in New England this season.
Defensively, the Patriots seem to be getting better by the season. They could still use some work in the secondary, but their pass rushing is much better than in the past and they are very stout against the run. Also, New England had 41 takeaways last season, which was the second most in the NFL. They have guys who have a knack for causing turnovers, which is obviously a big plus. I expect the Patriots' defense to be solid this season.
The Patriots open the season on the road against the Buffalo Bills, who are welcoming in a new head coach in Doug Marrone and a new starting quarterback in first round rookie E.J. Manuel. While I do like the young offensive talent that the Bills have, especially running back C.J. Spiller, they are very unproven and the defense is uninspiring. I have a hard time seeing them knocking off the Patriots on Sunday.
As long as Tom Brady is the quarterback and Bill Belichick is the head coach in New England, this team will be competitive. Brady welcomes in many new targets this season, but I do not think they will miss a beat. They are serious contenders in the AFC and it all starts this Sunday against the Bills. Here are 5 players who will shine for the Patriots in Week 1.
Daniel is a writer for Rant Sports. Follow him on Twitter @D_Schmelzer, "Like" him on Facebook and add him to your network on Google.
Danny Amendola
Many think that Amendola was brought in to be the replacement for Welker, but I think he can be more than a slot receiver. Amendola is bigger, faster and has better hands than Welker. He does well in the slot, but he can play the outside receiver position as well. Amendola is struggling with a groin injury, but it appears that he will be ready to go on Sunday. The Bills are going to be without Stephon Gilmore, who is their best cornerback, and safety Jairus Byrd will probably not play either. Brady seems to already have a great rapport with Amendola and I expect him to have a big game on Sunday.
Tom Brady
This one is a no-brainer. Brady is one of the best quarterbacks of all-time and I think he still has plenty left in the tank. He has performed well in the past with a new receiving corps, and I see no reason why it will be any different this time around. You can expect a great game out of Brady every time out, and this one will not be an exception.
Chandler Jones
The Patriots drafted defensive end Chandler Jones in the first round of the 2012 draft. He was solid as a rookie but only racked up six sacks in 13 games started. I like Jones' talent and most players take the biggest step in their careers in year two. I think that sack total will rise for Jones this season, and it starts on Sunday against an underwhelming Bills' offensive line.
Zach Sudfeld
Sudfeld was one of the biggest surprises of the 2013 preseason. He was one of Brady's favorite targets and proved that he belongs on a NFL field. Sudfeld is 6-foot-7 and controls his body very well. I see nobody on the Bills' defense that can stop him one-on-one. Until Gronkowski returns from injury, I think Sudfeld will be a key part of the Patriots' offense, especially in the red-zone. I would not be surprised to see Sudfeld score a touchdown or two on Sunday.
Aqib Talib
Aqib Talib is one of the most important members of the 2013 Patriots. He is a legitimate NFL corner on a team that has struggled to defend the pass. Talib took the New England defense to the next level when he arrived last season, and I think he continues to be a key part this year. Talib will probably be matched up with Stevie Johnson on Sunday. Johnson is a very important player for the Bills, and I think Talib will shut him down.

I recently had a customer looking for 32 Ethernet ports on a 4 server system to drive a virtualization platform.

Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:CPHC) today announced
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2011
The Company's net revenues in the fourth quarter were $9.7 million, up
11.9% from revenues of $8.7 million during the same period in 2010.
Fourth quarter net income was $305,036, or $.07 per share, in 2011 as
compared to 2010 fourth quarter net income of $161,279, or $.04 per
Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2011
The Company's net revenues in 2011 were $40.6 million compared to 2010
net revenues of $39.9 million. The Company achieved this 1.7% revenue
increase because our Card Casino revenues increased 5.5% over 2010,
which more than offset the severe impact of the partial shutdown of
Minnesota government from July 1 to 20 that forced the Company to
suspend its operations for this period.
Operating expenses in 2011 were $39.5 million compared to $41.2 million
in 2010. This $1.7 million decline in operating expenses is partially
attributable to reduced live meet expenses in 2011 because the Company
was forced to suspend its operations during the July shutdown of
Minnesota government, as well as continued management of operating
expenses throughout the year. In addition, 2010 operating expenses
included a one-time charge related to remodeling our Card Casino of
The Company's 2011 net income was $397,667, or $.10 per share, compared
to a net loss of $992,206 in 2010, or a $.25 net loss per share.
Additional Information
Further financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December
31, 2011 are presented in the accompanying table, and additional
information will be provided in the Company's Form 10-K Report that will
be filed on March 30, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management Comments
"We are pleased with our favorable fourth quarter results," commented
Randy Sampson, Canterbury Park's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"The Company believes the economic recovery has encouraged increased
consumer spending on entertainment options such as our Card Casino and
simulcast wagering. We also believe fourth quarter results benefited
from mild winter weather in contrast to the severe winter weather in
late 2010 that discouraged visits to our facility and forced the
cancellation of many race days at other racetracks simulcasting their
signal to Canterbury Park.
"We are also pleased with our full year results in which a strong
increase in Card Casino revenues more than offset the severe impact of
the Minnesota government shutdown that forced us to suspend our
operations during the heart of the live racing season. The shutdown was
the result of an impasse that delayed the enactment of a budget for the
State of Minnesota and forced the state agency regulating our wagering
operations to close for 20 days. In spite of the shutdown, strong
revenue growth in our remodeled Card Casino in 2011 contributed to an
increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues from 4.2% in
2010 to 7.2% in 2011."
Mr. Sampson concluded: "Our business continues to be challenged by many
factors, including competition from Native American casinos that are
able to offer a wider variety of gaming products, competition from
out-of-state racetracks where pari-mutuel horse racing is supported by
revenues from other forms of wagering, and illegal internet wagering. We
are, therefore, continuing to vigorously advocate for legislation that
would authorize Canterbury to offer slot machines and other forms of
gaming at the Racetrack, which is a business model often called a
"Racino." Racino bills are currently under consideration in the
Minnesota Legislature, and, while we can give no assurance that the
legislation we favor will be enacted into law this year, we will
continue to communicate and promote our Racino vision at the Minnesota
Based on the success of Racinos in several other states, the Company
believes authorizing a Racino at the Racetrack on similar terms would
stimulate economic growth in horse racing and related agri-businesses in
Minnesota, provide growth and development opportunities that would add
jobs at the Racetrack and surrounding community, and provide new
revenues for state and local governments facing significant budgetary
Annual Shareholders Meeting
The Company also announced that its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
will be held on Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 4:00 pm, at the Racetrack in
Shakopee, Minnesota. The date of record for shareholders entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting is Thursday, April 12, 2012.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, we also provide investors with
Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), which is a non-GAAP measure. EBITDA
represents earnings before interest income, income tax expense, and
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus
material, one-time non-cash expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure
of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and should not be considered an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of
our operating performance, or cash flows from operating activities as a
measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented as a
supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of
performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry.
Moreover, other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate
EBITDA differently than we do. During the year ended December 31, 2010,
Adjusted EBITDA included the loss on disposal of assets during the
remodel of our card room.
About Canterbury Park
Canterbury Park Holding Corporation owns and operates Canterbury Park
Racetrack, Minnesota's only thoroughbred and quarter horse racing
facility. The Company's 62-day 2012 live race meet begins on May 18th
and ends September 3rd. In addition, Canterbury Park's Card
Casino hosts "unbanked" card games 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
offering both poker and table games. The Company also conducts
year-round wagering on simulcast horse racing and hosts a variety of
other entertainment and special events at its facility in Shakopee,
Minnesota. For more information about the Company, please visit us at www.canterburypark.com.
Cautionary Statement
From time to time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in press releases, and in other communications to
shareholders or the investing public, we may make forward-looking
statements concerning possible or anticipated future financial
performance, business activities or plans which are typically preceded
by the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends" or similar
expressions. For such forward-looking statements, we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained
in federal securities laws. Shareholders and the investing public
should understand that such forward-looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties which could affect our actual results, and cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to: material fluctuations in attendance at the
Racetrack, material changes in the level of wagering by patrons, decline
in interest in the unbanked card games offered in the Card Casino,
competition from other venues offering unbanked card games or other
forms of wagering, competition from other sports and entertainment
options, costs associated with our efforts to obtain legislative
authority for additional gaming options, increases in compensation and
employee benefit costs; increases in the percentage of revenues
allocated for purse fund payments; higher than expected expense related
to new marketing initiatives; the impact of wagering products and
technologies introduced by competitors; legislative and regulatory
decisions and changes; the general health of the gaming sector; and
other factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict.

"You Never Learn Anything Travelling 1st Class"
... we made our way back to the 101 the long way via the 154. The scenery is a wide, sprawling valley with mountains featured in Bonanza and Gene Autrey westerns. It helped the bacon marinated in orange juice and maple syrup to ride the wild plains of my digestive system. Get along little doggies! The RV was running on empty when we pulled into Santa Barbara for our pit stop. And it was the pits, the restroom at least; nothing quite like a strobing neon in a filthy gas ...
Day 6: rapid repair, and rapid pace
... Actually, I can't blame them since it's basically ratchet strapped together. We also noticed that after leaving Las Vegas we have seen NO tow rigs older than about 10 years. Most are damn near new. We finally saw one about the same age as ours, and surprise surprise, it was an old first gen too. We did see several dead trucks along the highway though. Must suck it have somebody in a truck averaging the age of 30 years (rough ...

Here we go again! For the last 5 years or so, Richard and I have taken turns choosing a destination for our summer location. This year was his choice and he wanted to go to Ireland. In researching this trip I decided to widen our itinerary to Great Britain (we'll visit England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) and Ireland. The first half of the trip we'll sightsee via train and the second half we're boarding the Ruby Princess to take us to Scotland and ...

... As we made our way to the hotel, one that I booked and prepaid for on line, it became evident I screwed up real bad in terms of the location. Not sure how I did it, except to say, this is the first time I've booked outside of downtown and I definitely made some assumptions about the area. Thankfully we survived without getting mugged, but the big guy was not real happy with my new found ...

Left hotel after breakfast at 10 and set TomTom for San Antonio but on minor roads again. Pass through lots of small towns, a lot of the shops on the main streets seem closed - wonder where all these people work, on the land or oil fields I guess. More wind farms on the hills again, Peter gets quite excited when he gets a bend in the road as it's so unusual - thank goodness for the cruise control.

Buckland Manor Review
As an alternative to the hustle and bustle of Broadway, you can travel the 2 miles to the idyllic hamlet of Buckland and splurge at this exceptional country house, which has more of a feel of a genteel family home than a hotel. The land was valued at £9 in the 11th-century Domesday Book, and the sprawling stone building dates back to Jacobean times. Public areas and guest rooms are plushly comfortable, with old paintings, fine rugs, and antiques everywhere. Some bathrooms are beautifully up to the minute. For extra tranquillity, relax in the well-groomed gardens. The baronial restaurant (jacket required for men) features largely traditional fare enhanced with modern trimmings.
