Restoring Stanley Kramer's "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"
What you see here is a prime example of what happens to film that is neglected and improperly stored. This is an original reel from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World that is now untouchable. The film has turned acidic, sporting the strongest and most foul vinegar-like odor I have ever smelled. In fact, Robert Harris told me a story of how his contact lenses were singed by the fumes the film produced, causing temporary retinal damage to his eye. [more inside]

Too much moxie breeds mayhem in the streets: skateboarding in NYC, 1965
A two-foot piece of wood or plastic mounted on wheels, it yields to the skillful user the excitements of skiing or surfing. To the unskilled it gives the effect of having stepped on a banana peel while dashing down the back stairs. It is also a menace to live and even limb. Life magazine article on skateboarding in New York City, from the May 14, 1965 issue. Pictures from that article are now online in larger form (one-page view on another site). See also: The New York Skate Movie trailer on YouTube. [more inside]
Love me, I'm a liberal
Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune - excellent 90-minute documentary of the trenchant folk performer who chronicled civil rights, politics, and the Viet Nam War until death by his own hand in 1976. Although he never achieved widespread popular acclaim, many found him to be the true voice of his generation - with themes that are sadly still relevant today. Just a musical taste to whet your appetite: Love Me, I'm a Liberal. [more inside]
A 10 Minute Shoot
Tearoom: Too busy sucking on a ding-dong
In 1962, the Mansfield (Ohio) Police Department stationed officers armed with a movie camera behind a two-way mirror in a public restroom known for its "cruisy" atmosphere. With the help of the footage shot, dozens of men were arrested, prosecuted, and convicted on sodomy charges, which at the time carried mandatory minimum sentences of a year in prison. In 2007, the original surveillance footage was obtained by filmmaker William E. Jones. He's screened the unedited 56 minute film as Tearoom at festivals and museums the world over, providing a clandestine look at the scrutiny small-town Midwestern gay men faced in the 1960's.

Century 21 Calling - Dreamily retro footage of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, AKA the Century 21 Exposition, including a visit to the Bell Systems pavilion.

You Don't Own Me
Quincy Jones sat in the Tenafly, New Jersey den of 16-year-old vocal student Lesley Gore, playing demo after demo, looking for the right song to cut for her first record. Out of over 200 tapes, Jones and Gore had moved only one to the "maybe" pile, and so that song, It's My Party, was recorded on March 30, 1963 in a Manhattan studio. After the session Mercury president Irving Green warned Gore not to get her hopes up, but Gore gratefully told him that it had been a great experience anyway, and it was okay if he didn't want to release it. However, later that evening Jones learned that Phil Spector had just recorded "It's My Party" for The Crystals, so Jones rushed back to the studio to press 100 test copies of the single and immediately mailed them to key radio stations across the country.

Wayside School Is Not Funny In Real Life
In 1972, Washington, DC opened the doors to the HD Woodson Senior High School. It was the city's first new school in twelve years, and the first to be constructed after riots devastated the city in 1968. Like its sister school across town, it had been built to withstand another riot, and protect its students within its fortress-like walls. For a time, it stood as the pride and joy of the city's school system, featuring a diverse range of academic and vocational programs in a state of the art 8-story building complete with escalators, science labs, and a six-lane pool; a symbol of hope for a downtrodden community. By 2008, however, things had gone horribly, horribly wrong. The building was literally crumbling, many of its original facilities had closed due to neglect, only 13% of sophomores were proficient in reading or mathematics, and violence was a daily concern. Facing no other choice, the city closed the school in 2008, and demolished the brutalist structure shortly thereafter.
After a three year series of delays, next week, students will begin classes in the newly reconstructed HD Woodson High School; a 3-story state of the art building complete with elevators, science labs, and an eight-lane pool; a symbol of hope for a downtrodden community -- leading many to question: Will it work this time? The correlation between architecture and academic performance is not well-studied, and previous efforts have been inconclusive at best.

The Happy Warrior
Vice President and Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey is remembered by "Nixonland" author Rick Perlstein in today's New York Times as "America's Forgotten Liberal" on this, the 100th anniversary of Humphrey's birth. A significant political figure in his own right as a champion of civil rights, a front-runner in the 1960 Democratic primaries and the Democratic nominee for president in 1968, Humphrey's political and personal humiliations at the hands of Lyndon Johnson hindered him at what should have been the very pinnacle of his career and the success of the 30-year liberal majority in Washington. A four-part series at MinnPost.com by writer Iric Nathanson (pt.1, pt.2, pt.3, pt.4) looks at his career. Humphrey died of cancer in 1978 while still serving in the Senate.

Peter Grudzien is the original New York gay country musician
Peter Grudzien lives in New York and makes psychedelic country music or at least used to, since only two albums of his material ever came out, The Unicorn in 1974, and The Garden of Love, which is mostly a collection of demos. His songs are varied, ranging from noise music to straight up country, and their subject matters are equally wide-ranging, from strange fare, such as lyrics about his clone being at Stonewall, to straight-up love songs. His best known original is probably The Unicorn, a beautiful song whose lyrics recast the early 70s New York gay demimonde in terms of a barren zombie-filled wasteland which will be reborn when the titular unicorn is found by the queen. Other songs on YouTube are White Trash Hillbilly Trick, New York Town and an instrumental cover of the Georgia Gibbs hit Kiss Me Another. Finally, here's a lovely cover of The Unicorn by Calgary folkie Kris Ellestad.

Editorial: Seattle parks need maintaining, but beware of additional costs
Seattle is getting near the bottom of a candy dish of property tax levies.
Seattle Times Editorial
SEATTLE'S 465 parks are becoming like the comfy old reading chair in the corner, used and loved until the upholstery is bare. A $267 million maintenance backlog means that raw sewage sometimes dumps into the crew boat hanger at Green Lake because of a failing pump, and the entry way to Medgar Evers Pool floods.
Catching up on maintenance of the existing gems and polishing diamonds in the rough should be a priority as a $24 million-a-year parks levy expires this year. But the solution proposed by a Department of Parks and Recreation citizens committee, and endorsed by Mayor Ed Murray, is to go far past maintenance by adding new parks and a catalog of new parks programs.
The proposal now before the Seattle City Council is to double the existing property-tax levy devoted to parks, to $54 million a year, raising the annual cost for the owner of a $400,000 home from $76 to $168. It is not a backbreaking addition, but it would tighten the squeeze on middle-class families already struggling with Seattle's cost of living.
And it furthers a trend of jumbo specialty property levies. The annual amount of dedicated "lid-lift levies" jumped over the past decade from $65 million to $146 million. The Families and Education Levy doubled in 2011 and the low-income housing levy jumped 50 percent in 2009.
The candy dish of levies is about to be dived into again. Likely headed to the ballot this year are a universal prekindergarten levy and a renewal of a much larger city Bridging the Gap transportation levy. There's talk of putting public election financing, which failed last year, on the fall ballot.
The candy dish has been dived into so often that there is not enough levy capacity for all of the above. That is one reason why the parks committee proposed creating a new Metropolitan Parks District. A fancy name, but consider it a virtual Seattle. Same borders. Overseen by the same Seattle City Council. Taxes paid by the same Seattle residents. But it comes with wholly new taxing authority, and it would be permanent.
The cost of progressive ideas is high, and Seattle voters repeatedly vote yes for them. But progressive idealism should also ensure that Seattle is not just a city affordable for the rich.
It falls on the Seattle City Council to rightsize the list of levy requests, starting with the parks proposal, before voters finally choke on a piece of candy and spit it back out.

From the Archive: The hunt-for-bin-Laden film, "Zero Dark Thirty," portrays torture as a key element in that search. But the filmmakers distorted the facts and ignored the reality that torture is illegal, immoral and dangerously ineffective, wrote Marjorie Cohn.

Assessing the Laws of the Drone Wars
President Obama's defenders note he ended the Iraq War, is drawing down forces in Afghanistan and has resisted a new war in Syria. In other words, they say drone attacks on al-Qaeda suspects have ratcheted down the levels of violence left behind by President Bush. But critics say the drone attacks are still war crimes.
The Dark Side of 'Zero Dark Thirty'
Movie-goers across America can now see the hunt-for-bin-Laden film, "Zero Dark Thirty," and its graphic portrayal of torture as a key element in that search. But the filmmakers distort the facts and ignore the reality that torture is illegal, immoral and dangerously ineffective, writes Marjorie Cohn.
An All-Clear for Bush's Torturers
Even as Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu urges a war-crimes trial for George Bush and Tony Blair for invading Iraq, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder gives an all-clear to Bush's subordinates for homicides that resulted from torture in Afghanistan and Iraq, a repudiation of U.S. law and principles, says Marjorie Cohn.
Immigration, Racism & the Courts
Blocked on comprehensive immigration reform, the Obama administration has won some piecemeal victories against GOP demands for more draconian moves against "the undocumented." Deportations of "dreamers" have been stopped and much of an Arizona law was overturned, but more battles lie ahead, writes Marjorie Cohn.
Hope Dies at Guantánamo
A combination of a right-wing federal Appeals Court in Washington and a disinterested U.S. Supreme Court means Guantánamo inmates have little hope for justice even if a District Court judge sides with their arguments. That means the right of habeas corpus is effectively dead for detainees, Marjorie Cohn writes at Jurist.
Mitt Romney, the Bully
As a privileged preppy, Mitt Romney enjoyed humiliating suspected gays and other vulnerable people. But his bullying didn't stop when he grew older. Instead, he applied similar tactics to make a fortune as a corporate raider, writes Marjorie Cohn.

No Justice for Haditha Massacre
In 2003, President George W. Bush launched a "preemptive" war against Iraq, citing imaginary threats to the United States. The invasion inflicted massive loss of life, including massacres like the one at Haditha, but with very little accountability in the field or in Washington, writes Marjorie Cohn.
Will Obama Resist Push for Iran War?
The last two American presidents who pressured Israel (Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush) lost reelection. Though the reasons for their defeats varied, their strained relations with Israel surely didn't help, a dilemma now facing Barack Obama as Israel demands U.S. backing against Iran, as Marjorie Cohn describes.

Planet Asia - You Go Slavia
Artist: Planet Asia
Producer: Frank The Butcher & Paul Mighty
Album: All Is Fair
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 votes )
Fresh off earning positive reader reviews for EP single Diamonds, Dollars & Gold, West Coast underground mainstay Planet Asia bounces back with You Go Slavia, a new release off producer Frank the Butcher's forthcoming compilation. Despite the punny title, this joint doesn't have a whole lot to do with the Eastern European country. Rather, the record sees Planet Asia letting loosie with a dense, wide-ranging barrage of braggadocio, political commentary and sheer bugged-out craziness ("I don't mind, I place piranhas in my paradigm / With a pair a' dimes geekin' off the herojuana."). To back his relentless bars, Frank and co-producer Paul Mighty craft a grimy beat built around a chopped organ loop. The BAU-sponsored All Is Fair LP has yet to receive a drop date, but Asia fans can still cop his and DirtyDiggs's recently-released High End Cloths EP for free streaming in the Booth.

I created a DWF and DWFx from a Navisworks file and I cannot open it in Design Review.
This is not the first time this has happened - I stopped using design review because of this. I tell my clients not to use it because it does not work - Why is this?
Anyone have any ideas why?
I can't upload them - they are too big for this site
Good morning Lisa, sometimes I've the same problems caused by an .dwf file generated from inventor assembly. This generically when the file is over 3 Mb big.
Several times, I can open it but when I try to print ADR 2012 freeze.
How big are your .dwf file?
Well - just a tich over that 3mb limit... 37.8 mb....
it was made from a navisworks file that has 3 revit models combined. The Navis is a little offer 33mb - which is big for a Navis file.
So there is a limit to the file size DR can handle... That is not good..
I have a client looking for a free viewer to use in their company for those who are not computer savvy.
any ideas.... I thought about navis freedom - but they want to be able to see it on ipads.
THanks for your help!!
I would rather use my dropbox instead of having to sign up for another sharing site... What email can I use to invite you to the shared folder...
i get an error - i have tried it twice.... image attached....
I, too, am having this problem, pretty much to the letter. I have exported a DWF from Navisworks, a model consolidated from 9 separate files. The DWF file is 26MB. I thought it might be display drivers so I tried both DirectX and OpenGL settings in ADR, but neither setting made a difference.
I have uploaded both the NWD I used to export from and the DWF to that wikisend link provided by pendean.

"This card was perfect. They were able to change the color for me and add a small motif. I love the square shape and my girlfriends love it too!!!"
"Great design selections, easy to customize superb customer service. I loved my final product and the quick turn around. The entire process went very smoothly. I highly recommend tiny prints for your cards, invitations, banner printing needs."
"Great communication re: online proofing. Paper is beautiful. More than pleased with how they turned out and excited to start handing them out!"
"I was looking for a business card and a larger card with some images on it for my photography business. Enter this folded business card , I got the best of both! Printed on thick quality paper and the photos look beautiful! They will send a proof before it goes to the printer, which is very helpful since my first proof was wrong (my fault), and they allowed me to immediately correct it and resent another proof. There are a great number of fonts to choose from. I'm so excited to start handing them out!"
"I have used Tiny Prints several times before & am always excited to see the finished product. I've never been disappointed & this card was no exception. This design has become my absolute new favorite. The colors in the photo came out amazing & the design is phenomenal. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

As they point out on their blog, No Age recently supplied an ominous, droning, fuzzed-out instrumental score to a short video called "Rodarte: States of Matter". In the film, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the ultra-hip designers behind the fashion line Rodarte, talk about the designs that are currently on display in MOCA's Pacific Design Center. This is the second time No Age have teamed up with Rodarte, as they previously scored their short film "Aanteni".

No Age's Spunt Reissues D.C. Punks Chalk Circle
By Tom Breihan on February 11, 2011 at 2:20 p.m. EST
Chalk Circle was an all-female punk band from Washington, D.C. that existed from 1981 to 1983, during the first golden age of the city's hardcore scene. They never released an album, but Post Present Medium, the label run by No Age's Dean Spunt, is teaming up with Mississippi Records to release Reflection, a compilation of everything Chalk Circle ever recorded.
Director's Cut: No Age: "Fever Dreaming"
By Ryan Dombal on February 4, 2011 at 5:20 p.m. EST
From Liars' "Plaster Casts of Everything" to Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Turn Into", great music videos are bursts of sound and vision that leave an indelible impression. Director's Cut is a Pitchfork News feature in which we chat with music video directors about their creations. The men and women behind the camera are often overlooked in today's YouTube era, but this feature aims to highlight their hard work while showcasing the best videos currently linking around the Internet. A little behind-the-scenes dirt couldn't hurt, too.
Much of director Patrick Daughters' work is marked by an unwavering focus. Instead of stuffing his videos with a bounty of cuts and concepts, he often hits on one (usually great) idea and executes it with perfection. With Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps", he highlighted Karen O's performance, while the creepy video for Depeche Mode's "Wrong" made the most of a guy trapped in a moving car. And while the worlds he creates can be harrowing or whimsical, they're always just a little bit off.
No Age's "Fever Dreaming" is no different. On the surface, the video seems pedestrian enough, just the band hanging out in a nicely furnished warehouse space. But as the camera slowly zooms in, the frame squeezes all the stuff inside of it, too. And then the edge of the frame takes on even more destructive characteristics. The video looks like another one-take marvel á la Daughters' clip for Feist's "1234" but, as we found out, it wasn't exactly that simple.
Click on to watch "Fever Dreaming" along with a making-of clip and our Q&A with the director about the whole ordeal:
Video: No Age: "Fever Dreaming"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on January 27, 2011 at 9:15 a.m. EST
Front page photo by Todd Cole
The video for No Age's "Fever Dreaming", a highlight from last year's BNM'd Everything in Between, takes place entirely within the course of one shot-- a pretty cool trick, but not even the coolest thing about it. In the awesome-looking clip, which was helmed by video auteur Patrick Daughters, Dean Spunt and Randy Randall take a load off, eat some food, and play air guitar (and drums) in a homey little space while everything in the room seems to be closing in on them. We don't want to ruin the surprise, but let's just say this doesn't end too well for the band. Check out the video below.
Watch No Age Perform on "David Letterman" and the Black Keys on "Saturday Night Live"
By Tom Breihan on January 10, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. EST
It's a long way from grimy punk basements to the stage of the "Late Show With David Letterman", but No Age have made the journey. The L.A. duo, who look more confident and less spazzy every time they touch a stage, stopped by the late-night institution on Friday night to play the BNM'ed Everything in Between highlight "Fever Dreaming", and Dave enjoyed it way more than you might expect. Watch the video below, via Consequence of Sound.
The next night, Ohio blues-rockers the Black Keys appeared on "Saturday Night Live", blazing their way through "Howlin' for You" and "Tighten Up". That means host Jim Carrey got a couple of minutes of rest from his strenuous, bugged-out comedy routines, and Keys frontman Dan Auerbach got to show the world how he looks without his trademark beard. Watch the video below, also via Consequence of Sound.

Crystal Castles: Baptism (No Age Remix)
Things that Crystal Castles and No Age have in common: they're both duos, and they both make music that's poppy while also being noisy and punk as fuck. One of these acts remixing the other is kind of a chocolate-and-peanut-butter situation, and thus No Age's remix of CC's "Baptism", from their BNM'd self-titled effort released earlier this year, makes a whole lot of sense. The dudes in No Age turn the synth rolls of "Baptism" into static drone soup, keeping Alice Glass' shrieking vocals intact. Get droney with it above.

We've all used machine translators at one point or another. They're fast, free, and simple to use. However, the quality of the results are oftentimes not quite up to par. There are even websites devoted to the completely off the wall results that can come from using a machine translator. No matter how great machine translators are at providing a fast and easy solution for translation, the truth of the matter is that machines are not able to process all of the intricacies, variables, and creativity of human language accurately.

Braves, Gavin Floyd complete deal
Free-agent pitcher Gavin Floyd and the Atlanta Braves came to a deal Monday on a one-year contract that a baseball source said is worth $4 million.
The deal includes $4.5 million more in potential performance and roster bonuses, the source said.
The deal does not include a club option for 2015, meaning Floyd will be able to go back on the market a year from now as a free agent.
Floyd, 30, is 70-70 with a 4.48 ERA over parts of 10 seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox. His best season was 2008, when he went 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA in 206 1/3 innings with Chicago.
He underwent Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in May and is hoping to be back in the big leagues by May 2014, barring setbacks in his rehab.
Floyd said his arm "feels tremendous."
"It's nice to start over, create the right mechanics ... all the simple things to become more natural," he said.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution earlier reported that the Braves were nearing an agreement with Floyd.
The Braves' rotation consists of Mike Minor, Julio Teheran, Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy and Alex Wood, with David Hale as an additional candidate.
Tim Hudson, a member of Atlanta's rotation since 2005, signed a two-year, $23 million deal with the San Francisco Giants as a free agent in November.
Floyd said he liked the Braves, who won the NL East in 2013, for their consistent success.
"It just seemed like all the arrows were pointing to Atlanta," he said.
The Braves are among the teams pursuing Tampa Bay Rays starter David Price and Chicago Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija in trade, but general manager Frank Wren said last week that he's hesitant to dig too deeply into the farm system to add a top-of-the-rotation starter.
Pitchers Lucas Sims, J.R. Graham and Jason Hursh and catcher Christian Bethancourt are Atlanta's most highly regarded prospects.
"Trading players you have for a long time for one year or two years of service [from a player] doesn't work and doesn't make sense," Wren told ESPN.com on Thursday from the winter meetings in Florida. "We're in a good spot. We like our five guys. They're all homegrown, and they're all on the ascent. We think we can go into the season with our rotation as it is and have a very solid group."
The Braves also announced Monday they avoided arbitration with Beachy by reaching an agreement on a one-year deal.

The Roehr is a very exclusive, hand-built, all-American sports bike using a supercharged Harley Davidson 1250cc V-twin stolen from a V-Rod. The frame was designed by Walter Roehr himself. It's not just a gimmick either, it works and, considering the weight of the Harley engine, handles far better than you'd think.

This is the smaller engined version of Benelli's brilliant, but unfortunately rare Tre K 1130 sports tourer. We rate it highly: it's comfy, easy to ride, sounds great, handles well and has a wild side for when the mood takes you. It's not the obvious choice, which will actually a plus-point for many, but some will be sceptical, worried about ...

Unashamedly a circuit-based blaster that will need a road-rider to be fully aware of what he is about to buy if it's to be used on the road. From the competition-biased WP suspension to the 170bhp engine and the lightweight Marchesini wheels in between, the KTM RC8R cries out for corners to be taken at speed. Although it doesn't need to ...

The KTM RC8 is the revelation of 2008… even though we've known it's been coming for four years.

Its engine is powerful and usable; handling shames Japanese and Italian superbikes; ...

The Jericho artisan holiday market returns to the community centerBy Phyl Newbeck For The Essex Reporter
After a hiatus of several years, the Jericho Artisan Holiday Market is returning to the Community Center of Jericho, which was its home for over two decades. Local artisans are happy the two-day event is returning to its roots. The show will begin with a reception on Nov. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. and continue on Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For several years, the show was held at Mount Mansfield Union High School, but when members of the Community Center Board invited the artisans to return, they enthusiastically agreed. Event facilitator Carla Hochschild is glad to have the show come home to where it started. "This was never supposed to be just another craft show," she said. "It was supposed to be largely for people who sustain themselves with art. Having the show at the community center also brings the community aspect of it into focus."
Hochschild concedes the Community Center is a smaller venue than the high school but she doesn't think that's a bad thing. "People almost rub up against one another," she said "and that can create an emotionally good feeling. We lost that at the high school." Hochschild noted that sustainability is a current buzzword, but people usually think about it in terms of food, forestry and agriculture. "It works for the arts, too," she said. "Vermont is known for its art, but we are also competing against imports. We appreciate CSAs and farmers' markets and local breweries but artists are also part of the local economy."
Hochschild said most artists contribute their wares for non-profit fundraisers so this is a chance to have their work purchased at its regular price. "Everyone is really enthused," she said. "We spend a lot of time in our studios and we don't get to see who our customers are. This allows us to visit with the people who buy our work."
Some artists have presented at the show before while others will be at the Community Center for the first time. Included will be Hochschild's archival boxes and albums, Bill Butler and Shannon Greenlese's jewelry, Tracey Campbell Pearson's books, Russ Fellows' wooden bowls, Kevin Ruelle's retro posters, Jerry Stoner's sculptures, Carl Newton's wood boxes, Andrea Hook's pottery, Terry Miller's knitted goods, Kristen Richland's drawings and cards, Arthur Shelmandine's food products and Anna Vasserstein's sewn items.
Although the visual arts are being highlighted, other media will be featured. Local harpist Bonnie MacLeod will play on Friday night and the culinary arts will be featured in a bake sale to support the MMU music program. The Jericho Town Library will have their always-popular soup café. Hochschild believes some people have come to the event over the years solely for the food. As they've done in previous years, the library will have some tables and chairs so neighbors can sit with one another and enjoy hot soup and conversation.
One addition to this year's event is the honoring of a local centenarian, Clara Manor, whose needlepoint artwork will be featured at the show. Manor's daughter, June Taylor, said her mother has been creating needlepoint wall hangings for the last three decades. Most of her work has been given as gifts to family members and many of those pieces will be on loan for the show. Taylor said her mother did her last needlepoint at the age of 99. Manor lives independently in Jericho and is planning on attending the opening reception, which takes place shortly after her 101st birthday.
Potter, Andrea Hook, is on the board of directors of the Community Center and is excited to have the show return to that venue where she will display her wares for the first time. "I really enjoyed visiting the show when it was at the Community Center," she said. "The atmosphere was festive and it was fun bumping into neighbors and seeing the talents of artists in the community." Hook only attended once when the event moved to the high school, finding the atmosphere a bit sterile. "I'm happy to have the show back where it started," she said.
Best in show
Bryan Memorial Gallery announces that John Caggiano of Rockport, Mass., won its coveted Alden Bryan Medal for Best in Show, for its 2014 Land and Light and Water and Air exhibition. The awards were juried by Gunnel Clarke, President of Erickkson Fine Art of Stowe and Boston, with Caggiano's oil painting "Meandering River," winning from a field of over 200 paintings. One hundred paintings were selected for the current exhibit. Caggiano won a gold medal and a cash award.
Cash awards were also awarded to Phil Laughline of Williston, for his oil painting "Cook's Cove," which placed second; third place was awarded to Margaret Wilson Kipp of Belmont, Mass., for her watercolor "Fruitlands;" and the first honorable mention recipient was Courtney Lachaussie of Essex Junction, for her untitled diptych.
Additional honorable mention awards went to Elizabeth Allen of Williston, for her oil "Clouds over Charlotte;" Robin Nuse of Hanover, N.H. for her oil painting "Farm Land;" Wendy Harris of Syracuse, N.Y. for her pastel "On High;" Bruce Conklin of Burlington, for his oil painting "Morning, Intervale;" Marilyn James of Essex Junction, for her oil painting "The Retreat;" Lynn Van Natta of Brownsville, for her oil "Late Thaw," Susan Larkin of Isle La Motte, for her oil "Quarry Road;" and Robert Duffy of Worcester, Mass., for his oil "Duffy Road."
The cash awards for Land and Light and Water and Air are made possible by the Mary and Alden Bryan Art Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation and a private donor who wishes to remain anonymous. The entries are submitted by artists from all over the U.S. and Canada, although the subject matter must be New England landscape painting.
Land and Light and Water and Air is on exhibit at Bryan Memorial Gallery through Dec. 28. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. between Oct. 16 and Dec. 28. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas days. The gallery is also open by advance appointment. Bryan Memorial Gallery is located at 180 Main Street, Jeffersonville, VT.

I have a static library in which I'm calling OpenGL extension functions via GLEW. As the project is being built in GCC (NetBeans 7.0), and GLEW's binaries are only shipped in Visual-C flavor, I have built GLEW (1.7.0) as a static library, with GCC. (I would also be interested why this is necessary, as GLEW seems to be pure C, in which ABI and cross-compiler compatibility isn't an issue AFAIK.)
In my static library I define GLEW_STATIC and NO_SDL_GLEXT as project preprocessor directives (-D), then I
#include "GL/glew.h"
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
The static library is then linked against in a (test) application, which also links against the following libraries, in the following order:
This setup gives me two undefined reference errors in my static library:
undefined reference to `_imp____glewGetStringi'
undefined reference to `_imp__glewInit'
Indeed, these are two calls made to GLEW functionality, in the static library. There are however other calls that the linker used to complain about (before -DGLEW_STATIC), yet seem to be ok now.
I wasn't able to improve the situation by swapping the order of linkage to opengl32 and glew32 (some more undef'd refs to
wgl... calls). Furthermore, GLEW_STATIC (and NO_SDL_GLEXT) used to be defined in the test application but that has been removed and doesn't seem to matter.
Why do the remaining errors occur and what can I do to get rid of them, i.e. how can I use GLEW in GCC with SDL?

Fresh off flipping Foster the People on the tremendously-acclaimed Pumped up Kicks (Remix), Yonas returns to put his stamp on another indie-rock favorite on unreleased freestyle Can't Knock Me Down. Here, the Big Apple repper (contributor of the final entry in our freestyle series) flexes his lyrical muscles over the sparse, guitar-laced groove that backed The XX' The Intro. This record will not be attached to any forthcoming project, but fans can, of course, keep it locked for all the latest from the Booth fave.
