New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Alcalá is based on the document "Biblia poliglota complutense", aka Bible polyglotte d'Alcalá.
It was the first edition of a complete polyglot Bible, as well as the first printed version of New Testament in Greek, the Seventy and Targoum Onkelos. Conceived between 1502 and 1517, it was thought, financed and largely by cardinal Francisco Gimenez de Cisneros.
The first drawings go back to 1995. A second version was started in 2011 in order to answer the ordering of a publisher to compose a Bible based on the translation revised of J. N. Darby in French and Madagascan. Drawings are optimized for uses in small sizes.

Hello all, I am networking to find a Font Technology Developer to be located in Boulder, Colorado. Any help suggesting potential candidates (or sources for same) would be much appreciated!
Font Technology Developer needed in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!
Does anyone out there on the world wide web know when you can download for free/buy
nice Chinese typefaces, that will work on Mac OS X. I'm scouring the internet and have yet to find anything that isn't either a broken link or turns into default English type when I download it!
Thank you.

The two-days symposium will take place this year at the University of Arts in Poznań (Poland) on 18–19 June 2011. The theme of our conferences is type and typography. That is not going to change any time soon. This year we aim to accentuate the social aspect of the symposium. In the end, the word symposium refers to drinking party or convivial discussions held in ancient Greece. The two days will include exhibitions, an evening full of short type presentations (aka TypeShorts), party, and of course a day full of excellent lectures.
The super-low-cost early-bird registration is over in just one week! The registration ends on 6 June unless we run out of space earlier.
It's easy to find sans serif typefaces with multiple widths and weights, but large serif families are much less common. The 30-font FF More fills this void. Five weights in each of Condensed, Regular, and Wide widths answer every need of publication design, from strong headlines to readable text and space-efficient information graphics. FF More's sturdy serifs and gentle contrast withstand the rigors of magazine and newspaper design — retaining clarity despite size, background, or substrate.

Hey everyone,
I'm working on polishing a logotype for a client and could use your help pointing out any areas to clean up. I'm rather new at modifying type. The original face is Fling.
Also, I'm looking for the right serif to use for body copy with this, hopefully something that's classy and modern but maybe with some feminine character. Hopefully with a nice small cap variation.
Thanks for your help!
Hey there Typophiles!
I've been interested in type for some years now but never really tried myself at this discipline.
I recently started thinking about a simple sans-serif font, based on my natural way of drawing letters. So I opened a Tumblr to document my creation process and share some studies on well known sans-serif fonts (mainly Helvetica, Futura and Century Gothic). What you'll find now is pictures of some of my very first drafts and visual studies of those fonts (comparing sizes, angles and so on, trying to understand their logic). And hopefully you'll find in some weeks/months/years a final OTF file for you to download.
Here's the site!
Hello, can anybody help with identifying the 'font' used in this logo? I'm redrawing it for a client as part of a refresh/rebrand but I'd like to figure out what the starting point is.
It seems to be pretty Garamond-esque but there are a couple of things throwing it out... Most notably the 'K' and perhaps the 'R'.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me :)

Scratch Julius Peppers off the Dallas Cowboys' wish list.The eight-time Pro Bowl defensive end signed a three-year deal with the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, bringing one of the NFL's best pass-rushers to a team that has historically avoided major free-agent splashes.Peppers' deal is reportedly worth up to $30 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed.The move was first reported by ESPN. Peppers' agent, Carl Carey, posted photos to his Twitter account of Peppers signing the deal and standing on the still-frozen tundra of Lambeau Field before the team announced it officially later in the day. The 34-year-old Peppers was released Tuesday by the Chicago Bears in a cost-cutting move. He would have counted $18.183 million against Chicago's salary cap this season and had a base salary of $13 million. Peppers, who has 119 career sacks in 12 seasons, had 7.5 sacks in 2013.Sources said Friday that the Cowboys had interest in Peppers if they could get him at the right price to fit into their snug salary cap opening. Dallas only has about $7 million in salary cap space.

We loved our stay at the Canape Bleu. It was big enough for two adults and a baby. The place is very nicely designed, very clean and fully equipped. The bed was very comfortable. The location could not be better: right downtown, with tons of nice bakeries and fancy delis downstairs. Also Laetitia is a perfect host: she is very professional and very friendly. We really appreciated how she accomodated our 14 month old daughter (she brought extra linens, a crib, a baby bathtub and a high chair). I - Anonymous
We stayed only 2 nights in Fabrice's beautiful home in the heart of Rennes but wish we had stayed much longer!
The rooms of this historic building are beautifully furnished and cosy with private bathrooms and are made up each day with fresh towels etc. The rooms have tea & coffee making facilities and there is wine, cider and other treats available in the communal lounge area.
Breakfast is served either in your room or in the lounge and is a beautiful selection of homemade crepes, pastries - Anonymous

It is possible but not very probable. The #9 Division accounted for most of the increase in 2013, however, there are no new divisions on the horizon. The second arena will allow for the full divisions to run in a single day. This allow for a few specialty ropings, but they will not be high dollar and shouldn't have a tremendous affect on the overall payoff.

The LMS Evaluation Team led a thorough assessment of leading learning management system products and gathered input from the community. Blackboard Learn was their unanimous recommendation to replace our current Angel 8 system, which is also from Blackboard.
An LMS Implementation Team was charged by Joe Favazza, the Provost, and Tammy Anderson, the CIO, to plan the upgrade. The team will also identify training and support needs and recommend procedures and configuration settings. The transition will occur on August 1, 2014 and all Fall 2014 course shells will be created in the new system. Additionally, all courses developed in eLearn between Fall 2012 and Summer 2014 will be migrated into the new system.
A Faculty eLearn Cohort Program has been created to develop expertise in the new system within a group of faculty who can mentor their peers during the transition. The eLearn cohort will be a supplement to the traditional training and support programs provided by the department of IT.
The links on the left provide access to resources that describe the transition timeline and provide information about the new system. A list of frequently asked questions about the transition is also available.

Nov 25, 2013I have a lot of respect for Trent but ever since With Teeth hit the scene its been downhill ever since. The Slip and Hesitation Marks are a step in the right direction (no emo lyrics and more experimental) though. I have to correct the guy who rated it low saying there are 3 different kinds of NIN fans. Wrong. There are 2. Those that really like the first 3 recordings (PHM, Broken and Downward) and then when Fragile hit with its softer approach it got the next wave of fans. As others have said. This album and With Teeth are incredibly boring. Personally I have always thought Trent had something special going on with those 3 first recordings and the Quake soundtrack. That industrial decayed edge. I suppose we all go through changes. Rated a 2 for the 2 good songs and thats it. Me, I'm Not and God Given.… Expand
Apr 11, 2012Nine Inch Nails' most ambitious offering to date, with a concept based around the future of the human conciousness we see Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross exercising their most experimental works into pop/rock anthems, a benchmark for modern music production.
Make no mistake this is NIN as usual, but [it is] an effortless, inspired, and unaffected Trent Reznor the likes of which we may not have had the pleasure of knowing for almost a decade and a half.
Amid its carefully calibrated sonic assaults, Year Zero has a number of tracks that will stop you in yours.

The weather is warmer and pets are spending more time outside, but what should you do if your pet gets out and doesn't come back.
It can happen to the best of pet owners. The door doesn't latch or the kids leave the gate open and your best friend ends up out on their own. Here's a little refresher course of tips to follow to bring him or her home again.
First check with the Nebraska Humane Society at 8929 Fort Street in Omaha, which provides pound service for Omaha and Sarpy County. If someone picks up your pet along a highway they could end up in Council Bluffs, so check there as well. NHS stray kennels open every day at noon and stay open until 7 p.m. weekdays, 5 p.m. on weekends.
While you can fill out a lost report online, you would need to come to the shelter in person to look through the kennels. You know best which pet is yours and from a description a lot of animals look alike. Be prepared to give a detailed description of your pet. If you have a photo, bring it with you. After you fill out a lost pet report you can tour every kennel in the building.
If you don't find your pet you can keep updated on stray animals on the Humane Society website, nehumanesociety.org. Go to "Lost Pets" and click the icon labeled "I've lost a pet" and then click to search. The website updates several times daily with pets who've been brought in stray.
You need to check back in person every three days because strays found in Omaha are held for three days before they become property of the Nebraska Humane Society. While the NHS tries its best to match lost reports with animals found, they don't know your pet as well as you do and you are the only one who can truly identify him or her.
If your dog comes in with tags or a registered microchip, the NHS will call you. It's a much more immediate and simple process. And don't forget an ID tag with the pets name and your phone number. That will help good Samaritans get your dog back to you without having to get the NHS involved.
You can also search your neighborhood, put up posters, show your pet's picture around and post information on social media.

- Great food, bad table.MM48Dined on 11/16/2014Everything was great, BUT it was disappointing to be seated right by the kitchen door. We were one of the first tables to arrive and I made a reservation quite awhile ago. I did not asked to be moved bc we had guest. I hoped they did not care.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Welcome to Kansas CityladylunchDined on 11/15/2014This was my first visit to Kansas City. I enjoyed lunch so much at Cafe Sebastian on my first day that I went back for dinner (and a visit to the Kemper Museum, where it is located) on my last night, when I was accompanied by new friends I had just met that day. Food and service were excellent both times. Although KC is famous for meat, Cafe Sebastienne's menu is friendly to non-meat eaters. Both the enclosed terrace and indoor room are very pleasant. I left Kansas City with a good taste in my mouth. Thank you, Cafe Sebastienne.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splendid!ladyarchDined on 11/15/2014Everything was perfect from the food to the service! There were 4 of us dining and everyone of us had a perfect dining experience here. The menu is not large but everything on it is fabulous! And what a bonus to leave the restaurant and stroll the gallery until 9:00!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a nightEarneyDined on 11/15/2014Our server was great and he made the night special. Every single item was cooked perfectly, from the soup to the salad to the entree to the dessert. We had shrimp and grits that were just wonderful. The swordfish was superb. Overall, we had a fantastic night, and we felt like we had been pampered like we've never been before.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Even better than I remembered!!!moAbVIPDined on 11/8/2014We had never eaten at the Cafe for an evening meal. Wow!!! Glad we did. We were cordially greeted, promptly seated, and our server swiftly greeted us as well. The fall appetizers (squash casserole on toasted crostini; shredded chicken with vegetables and wild rice) were outstanding. My wife had trout on a bed of root vegetables for her main and loved it. It was cooked perfectly and the taste was superb. My ribeye steak was cooked exactly to order. The baked potato came with butter that had bacon and garlic mixed in...need I say more. My wife had a flourless chocolate tort with berries for desert. I had an apple crispt with pecans rather than ice cream. Outstanding! Overall and outstanding and relaxing meal surrounded by art. GO THERE!!!Special Features:
- Great contempory cuisine and artOldFilthDined on 11/8/2014Excellent food. Very fresh ingredients. The Hubbard squash appetizer was an unusual treat. Lamb shanks and pork chop entrees were as good as it gets.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedtlynnVIPDined on 11/8/2014Service was slow and uneven and it was not that crowded.Special Features:
- cnh1983Dined on 11/7/2014We love Sebastienne and dine there regularly for brunch and lunch. We don't ordinarily visit for dinner since it's fairly pricey, but were given a gift certificate so treated Friday night as a date night. We were really disappointed which was sad. We sat down and waited fifteen minutes to even be greeted. Finally our drink order was taken by a manager who could tell that I was getting frustrated. Our waitress was busy - which I understood and was patient about (I was in the service industry for a long time). HOWEVER. There are many ways to take care of your guests even when your busy. She did none of them. And then the food came which was basically good - but definitely not as exciting as we had hoped. We won't be back for dinner.Special Features:

- Great for a nice lunchtablefor4Dined on 10/22/2014Happy to find Cafe Sebastienne to be as wonderful as ever after not dining there for some time. Fish tacos were outstanding and the pear/currant crisp had just the right hint of ginger to delight the taste buds. Good energy throughout the cafe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Kansas City GemLidiasDiddlely0Dined on 10/4/2014I liked everything about Cafe Sebastienne; the "high arts" district location, the Kemper, the art decor in the Cafe, the bright open space, the atmosphere, the presentation of the tasty food and the service. I will always bring my guests from out-of-town here.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceNeFoodieDined on 9/21/2014Good food, prepared well, impeccable service. Our server, Dale, was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations about items we should try. His suggestions were spot on and made the experience a very enjoyable one. After brunch suggested places we might like to try for dinner.Special Features:
- GabyEatsVIPDined on 9/20/2014Cafe Sebastienne has a wonderful menu and cocktails. Seating is in the atrium (wonderful lighting but a bit noisy with the echos) or inside with a view on the atrium and wall art.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/19/2014After dinner, all three of us agreed this was one of the best meals we had in a long time. One diner commented that she's never had a mediocre meal at Café Sebastienne. Wonderful, creative salad through perfect desert, this was a truly great mealSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meh dinner.DisappointedDined on 9/19/2014As locals we have eaten here often for brunch and have enjoyed the setting. Great staff, nice aesthetic, etc. We took an out-of-town guest for dinner on the first night of the 2014 Plaza Art Fair, and found plenty of easy parking despite the surrounding traffic. Dinner was disappointing - we all had the Moroccan lamb Bolognese. It was spiced nicely (mint & cardamom) but far too salty and the meat had little lamb flavor. Sadly, I easily could have done better with store-bought hamburger. We had a pleasent evening in a nice setting otherwise. Keep in mind the museum doors may lock behind you if you are having a late dinner and leave to take a phone call...Special Features:
- Cafe Sebastian Never Disappoints...KC50Dined on 9/18/2014Good food, beautifully mixed cocktails, wonderful service and a subtly European atmosphere make Cafe Sebastian one of my absolute favorite get-away spots for lunch. I always prefer a corner alcove table in the courtyard, UNLESS... If the courtyard if even half full or if a large party has been seated there, the space is VERY noisy, making conversation with dining companions difficult and, sometimes unpleasant. If so, a table in the dining room can be a little cramped, but enjoyable and intimate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014We sat there for 2 hours and no one pushed us to leave. Both the food and the setting were lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ample pricey but superb cuisineTasteOfAntoineDined on 9/16/2014The food and service could hardly be better. Three of us ordered three different dishes. All were excellent. It's pricey, but the food is more than ample and not disappointing.Special Features:
- Fabulous lunchHattieVIPDined on 9/12/2014Ordered the lunch trio-soup, salad and sandwich. The best lunch I have had in any restaurant in years. All three components were excellent, Mulligatawny soup, pasta pesto salad and a ham on brioche sandwich. Hope they repeat this!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amandaDined on 9/11/2014Ordered flat bread pizza. it was delicious as usual, however, do not care for the side "salad". It is just a small bunch of somewhat harsh tasting greens with a sprinkling of cheese. Field greens or even spinach would be so much better.Special Features:
- Love this place!!!VeggieTDined on 9/5/2014We went to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and we weren't disappointed. We chose Cafe Sebastianne because we had our reception there and had an amazing experience. Ten years has only made them better. The food was super fresh - we had grouper - , the lovely server worked with us to find a wine we liked, and the goat cheese cheesecake was the perfect way to end the evening. Loved every minute of it. Inside seating was full but the noise was tolerable.Special Features:
- ArtymunchieVIPDined on 9/5/2014Great for Art, but the once best restaurant has failed this time. The menu was over the top in tomatoes and under in entree offerings. Also missing were enough veggie sides to be able to switch out one for another making it hard for children as well as picky eaters. I guess this is not a place to take teens other than to view the amazing art collection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HungryVIPDined on 9/2/2014The liver was very good - not overcooked. The prices of the wine are a bit high. The wine was good, but a tad expensive. "Steve" the waiter was very good - he should get a gold star.Special Features:
- amandaDined on 8/30/2014Very good service...everyone all smiles and very nice. No flour chocolate cake was to die for and beautifully presented. The flat bread pizza was really good but not as good as the last time I ordered it. The squash was very over cooked and runny. I scrapped it off and still enjoyed my pizza.Special Features:
- Excellent Food and ServiceSundayDinersVIPDined on 8/24/2014Food and service are about the best in KC! We especially like Sunday brunch and if we need a Reuben, a lunch during the week meets that need.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loud but goodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014The main room is still way too loud. I say that as if there was a chance it might be something other than loud sometime, but I don't think that will ever happen. It's a fun place to go but you must be willing to (a) accept a constant, very high noise level and (b) forego conversation at your table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch at Sebastienne!LenexasaraDined on 8/17/2014A wonderful setting for a celebratory brunch for seven! Lovely selection of menu options. All dishes were outstanding particularly the Brioche French Toast, the Omelet, and the Breakfast Hash...Simply delicious. The only downside was that it was noisy and a bit chilly but the food soon made us forget any inconvenience!Special Features:
- HungryVIPDined on 8/7/2014I had the fish of the day - salmon - a very nice size thick piece - cooked rare as I like it. My friend had the pizza which looked too good to eat - really - & she said it was delicious. If you eat with your eyes it must have been. Our server, Charles, is the best but then I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard before. I will be back, I guarantee it. SueSpecial Features:

- Great food, as always!lindapDined on 7/30/2014I had the flatbread pizza, which was excellent (and slightly more than I could eat).

Topped with a thin layer of melted Gruyere cheese -mmmm! Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Every diner feels like family by the time their Cafe Sebastienne experience is over. Yesterday there were several different catered events occurring simultaneously throughout the museum and it did not affect our fine service or food negatively in any way. These are pros. Remains top of our list favorite restaurant in KC.Special Features:

Residents and stakeholders from Dorchester's Columbia Point peninsula attended a meeting last Thursday evening to help lay out a city plan to redesign Mt. Vernon Street. The meeting was hosted by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), which is funding the $400,000 planning process now underway.
The redesign initiative comes as the Columbia Point section withstands a building boom that will likely continue through the current decade.UMass Boston is completing an integrated sciences complex and starting work on another academic building, with another one in the pipeline. The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United State Senate is also under construction on the peninsula next to the existing JFK Library. On the residential side, Corcoran Jennison is preparing to build a new complex‑ "University Place"‑ in front of its Bayside office complex. Synergy, owned by developer David Greaney, has been approved to build new residences on a long-abandoned parcel next to the JFK/UMass MBTA station.
At Thursday's meeting, the BRA project was described as an effort to make the 0.6-mile long thoroughfare a "complete street."
"This is the first in a series of opportunities for you to be involved in the designs of Mt. Vernon St.," said Corey Zehngebot, senior urban designer and architect at the BRA. Zehngebot and BRA senior planner John Read facilitated the meeting, which was held at the Corcoran Jennison Community Building at 270 Mt. Vernon St.
"The city has taken an interest in complete streets … and what I mean by complete streets is that it reflects all aspects of life," said Gary McNaughton, vice president and transportation engineer with McMahon Associates, a firm retained by the BRA to help with the planning.
Representatives at the meeting said that the street, which serves as a key entry point for UMass Boston, currently has a high concentration of drivers, with 7:15 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. noted as peak times for traffic congestion. Studies show that the street currently carries between 300 to 600 cars an hour and is built to hold 1,700 cars an hour.
City officials would like to reduce the number of drivers on Mt. Vernon St. by making the street more accessible to pedestrians, bicyclists, and MBTA riders.
Representatives said this can be done by activating the street and area through simple and inexpensive methods like outdoor art, more open public spaces, more lighting and improved crosswalks, among other things.
Deneen Crosby, director of landscape architecture at Crosby, Schlessinger, Smallridge, LLC, explained how these initiatives along with others could make the area "a more vital mixed use neighborhood." She cited identification signage for pedestrians and vehicles as a possibility, along with a more attractive and well-lit underpass near the JFK/UMass T stop.
"It's dark and barren, particularly in the evening … [These changes] can highlight the really incredible history of Columbia Point and the amazing changes that are happening here," she said.
Crosby also discussed the idea of temporary urbanism, which allows open areas and parking lots to be transformed by local artists. She explained how a parking lot in Davis Square was transformed into a plaza for three days with the addition of tables and an inexpensive stage that the community utilized.
"[Temporary urbanism] is a phenomenon that is going on around the country. Here in [Columbia] Point, we're excited to test it out with you," BRA's Zehngebot said.
Other topics tackled at the meeting were the success of the Hubway bike sharing program that launched last year, the need to create separation between pedestrians, bikes, and cars on the sidewalks, and the need to improve school bus activity and parent drop-offs and pickups in front of the Dever and McCormack schools.
McNaughton of McMahon Associates explained how the BRA and city officials are planning to have the street completely transformed within the next 10 to 25 years. Thursday's meeting was focused on a 1 year plan that will only complete 25 percent of the redevelopment design project.
The meeting ended with reports from breakout groups which found that the community hopes to work on rebranding itself as a gateway into the city and needs to direct its visitors to unutilized areas like the Harborwalk path along the perimeter of the peninsula.
Valerie Harms, a tutor at the Dever Elementary School, said she also enjoyed the meeting, but would like to see the street near the JKF/UMass overpass redesigned to make crossing safer for pedestrians. She also wants bike lanes to be redesigned so they are less dangerous.

Norm Chow named UCLA's offensive coordinator
January 21, 2008
UPDATE: It's official now. Chow's coming to UCLA.
While it's not up on the official site yet, both the LA Daily News and ESPN.com are reporting that UCLA has hired Norm Chow as its new offensive coordinator.
Wow. I shouldn't have to tell that this is an amazing hire. While I objected to Chow becoming UCLA's head coach, I'm thrilled with him becoming the offensive coordinator. Just look at his track record, he's arguably one of the best offensive coordinators in the history of college football.
I found this in an ESPN article about Chow written in 2001 (before Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart became stars under Chow):
In 18 seasons as offensive coordinator, Chow coached six of the top 12 career passing efficiency leaders and 11 quarterbacks who rank among the top 30 in NCAA history for single-season passing yardage. The Cougars scored 30 or more points in 106 of 181 games. His list of pupils include Robbie Bosco, Steve Young and 1990 Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer.
Chow coached Philip Rivers, who broke seven school passing records and was named ACC Freshman of the Year last season. The Wolfpack offense finished second in the ACC behind Florida State (396.2 yards per game), with Rivers throwing for 3,054 yards, 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
That would be impressive even without considering what he did at USC, where he built probably the best offense of the decade around Palmer, Leinart, Reggie Bush and LenDale White.
A great job by Rick Neuheisel for convincing Chow to come to UCLA. It probably wasn't easy to sell Chow on coming to coach at UCLA after spending the last three years in the NFL.
The season opener can't come soon enough, and it's still seven months away (Aug. 30). Major hat-tip to Bruins Nation for alerting me to the good news.

And you thought Ellen's Oscars selfie packed in a lot of people.
NASA has unveiled the very first "global selfie," made from more than 36,000 pictures it asked people around the world to take of themselves on Earth Day.
People on every continent -- 113 countries and regions all together -- posted selfies for the project, according to NASA.
The 3.2 gigapixel image can even be zoomed in on so users can find their own picture.

If you can think of something, chances are there's someone out there collecting it. Don't believe me? You've obviously not taken time to peruse American harpist Deborah Henson-Conant's extensive collection of burnt food. Or visited the Icelandic phallological centre, home to the largest collection of male sexual organs in the world. If you're strong of stomach, go to feargod.net/fluff: there you'll see a satisfied-looking man called Graham Barker standing next to three jars marked "navel fluff 1984-1993", "navel fluff 1994-2000" and "navel fluff 2001-present".
From banana stickers to cars to locks of celebrity hair, it's not just the things people collect that vary, but the way they collect them. For every hat collector who wears a different one each day, there's a comic book enthusiast who keeps his figurines locked in their plastic packaging safe from the air's decaying microbes. Some collect as an investment, others out of curiosity, but for the most committed collectors it usually starts with one thing: love. And the line between love and obsession can be dangerously thin. Take antiquarian and book collector Sir Thomas Phillips, whose desire to own a copy of every book in the world led him to destitution in the second half of the 19th century.
The desire for completion doesn't motivate all collectors – no seashell enthusiast could hope for a full set – but it is often a motivating factor. "Collecting is a means by which one relieves a basic sense of incompletion brought on by unfulfilled childhood needs," writes collector and academic Kim Herzinger. "It functions as a form of wish fulfilment which eases deep-rooted uncertainties and existential dread." In her essay Passionate Possession, anthropologist Marjorie Akin describes people crying out in sweet relief as they complete a long-nurtured collection.
Other psychologists say the urge to collect is about establishing a connection to the past; lost worlds made visible again through objects. Freud viewed it as a manifestation of our deep-seated desire for control and security, linking it to the objects we used to comfort ourselves – toys, blankets, pacifiers – when the mother's milk was first denied to us. Perhaps there is no single theory capacious enough to accommodate the burnt food museum and the desire to own every book that ever was. Whatever the explanation, the urge to collect runs deep; the majority of children go through a stage of collecting something and one in three adults continues to collect into their adult lives.
The darkest corners of the internet abound with personal collections ranging from the niche to the perverted, but what of the objects of genuine prestige historically coveted by the world's wealthiest? When it comes to the great painters, a heavily globalised art market continues to out-do itself. Eight of the world's top 10 most expensive paintings were sold in the last 10 years. The most expensive, The Card Players by Paul Cézanne, was sold to the Qatari Royal Family by shipping magnate George Embericos for $259m. The Qataris are rumoured to have outbid American collectors Larry Gagosian and William Acquavella, who reportedly offered a frankly insulting $220m. Arab oil money outbidding American collectors to buy a French masterpiece from a Greek industrialist – everything you need to know about the current state of the top-end art market is contained within the deal.
Daniella Wells, show director of the Collect crafts fair that takes place every year at the Saatchi Gallery, says the profile of the collector has become far more global over the years. "In the beginning it was a few wealthy London residents and a handful of collection groups from America. Now it's completely international."
Part of the reason paintings exchange hands for so much is that so few masterpieces are still available on the private market. Most have found a permanent home in museums or the private collections of the megawealthy, who have little interest in selling. That's why it's such big news when works by great painters do exchange hands, like last year when casino magnate Steve Wynn sold Pablo Picasso's Le Rêve to 56-year-old billionaire hedge-fund manager Steven Cohen for $155m. A previous agreement between the two was cancelled after Wynn (who has diminished peripheral vision thanks to retinitis pigmentosa) accidentally tore the canvas by putting his elbow through it.
For those who can't quite stretch to a Picasso, there's the Affordable Art Fair (AAF). The fair was founded in 1999 by a man called Will Ramsay who found established private galleries unaffordable and unwelcoming. Ramsay guessed there would be many people like him, and he was right. The first fair was in Battersea Park; everything was under £2,000 and staff were told to be friendly and approachable. It worked: 10,000 people flooded through the gates.
"The majority are people who own their home and are looking for something that expresses their personality to put on their walls," says Jessica Hall, marketing manager of the fair. "They want something unusual or unique that says something about them. Also there are parents whose children have left – they finally have their houses back, have a little bit of disposable income and know what they like."
In the 15 years since the first AAF, over a million people have visited, and there are now events everywhere from New York to Amsterdam to Hong Kong.
The success of the fair attests not only to the universality of the collector's impulse but also to our human need to adorn space with meaningful objects. In that sense, perhaps the first word in the phrase "personal collection" is most illuminating. Collecting a particular category of objects is identity-forming – it anchors us in a world overflowing with stuff.
Or perhaps it's just the allure of wonderful things. "If someone comes to me and says 'I was told photography was a good investment', I say to them 'go and speak to a bank. I'm not an investment manager'," says gallery owner and photography collector Michael Hoppen. "I can show you incredible things and we all know incredible things are always in demand, whether you're talking about pens or stamps. The best of breed always has an audience... go online and look at the auction results and you'll see there's tremendous demand for photography."
Mind-bendingly high prices in art have given a boost to the world of fine photography, where collectors can get a masterwork by an all time great like William Klein for £10-15,000. "We've got a show coming up by Harold Edgerton who was one of the heads of MIT and his photographs have become iconic," says Hoppen. "The equivalent in fine art would long have gone into museums... They are amazing objects to hold because they are unique one-offs. These are vintage pieces and they will be largely available for the single thousands, so they are very good value."
When it comes to finding out about the past, often things of very little value tell us more than the most prized objects. As a child Robert Opie developed an interest in disposable consumer goods packaging. Now he runs west London's Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, an indispensable resource for researchers looking to find out about everyday life in the recent past. When American experimental film-maker Harry Smith compiled his personal collection of 78 RPM interwar folk records into three volumes in 1952, he inadvertently created the definitive Anthology of American Folk Music, valued by critics and music historians as one of the most important musical anthologies of the 20th century.
Grand old auction houses such as Christie's, Sotheby's and Bonhams may have illustrious histories but in terms of quantity, they've been left for dust by online auction site eBay. Through its "collectibles" section, eBay facilitates the niche collecting habits of eccentrics the world over, but it's also made inroads into the top-end of the market. In 2000 collector Brian Seigel paid $1.1m for the legendary 1909 T206 Honus Wagner baseball card. In 2004, one of the world's 399 Ferrari Enzos went for $1m. EBay's revenue exceeded $16bn in 2013, almost 20 times that of Sotheby's.
Collecting – a hobby as old as humanity itself – has exploded in the digital age; if you can think of something, chances are someone's selling it on eBay. Whether through the auctioneer's hammer or click of a mouse, as long as there are things to collect there will be collectors.
COLLECT: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects is at the Saatchi gallery 9 - 12 March

Why do we call a dollar a buck?

Answers (2)
The name \"buck\" came from a time (circa 1890-1920) where people would trade deer skins as a type of money in america. Male deer are called bucks and so the term \"buck\" became synomous with money. through the years, dollars and bucks or buck skins were used enterchangably.The word buck possibly an abbreviation of buckskin or buckarooney, an intrinsic \"currency\" for trade with American Indians known since 1746 has been recorded since 1856 and is widely used as a synonym for the dollars of many countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States.Answered by sangeetha, 09 Nov '09 01:45 am

Exclusive: Elements of the American Right are suggesting that Barack Obama, the twice-elected President of the United States, is a tyrant whose gun-control plans should be resisted by force, a gross and dangerous distortion of why the Framers wrote the Second Amendment, says Robert Parry.
Obama Administration
The Armed Right's Violent Rhetoric
As America prepares for the Second Inaugural of its first African-American president – and as demands grow for some commonsense gun control after a horrific school massacre – the Right is arming itself amid hysterical rhetoric about the need to "shoot tyrants," ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
Finding Excuses to Torture
Despite evidence over the centuries that torture fails to elicit reliable information – and is criminal as well – apologists for George W. Bush and movies like Zero Dark Thirty continue to perpetuate the myth that torture is a necessary evil, at least when Americans are doing the torturing, as Lawrence Davidson writes.
Slanting the Case on Iran's Nukes
From the Archive: The New York Times reports UN nuclear monitoring chief Yukiya Amano is dampening hopes for new nuclear talks with Iran by demanding access to its Parchin military base. But the press still ignores evidence Amano is no honest broker, but part of the U.S./Israel camp, as Robert Parry reported in 2011.
Iran's Fear of 'Regime Change' War
"Tough-guy-ism" toward Iran holds that only a "credible threat of war" will force Tehran to capitulate to Western demands on its nuclear program. But the real hold-up to a peaceful settlement may be Iran's fear of "regime change" aggression if it makes too many one-sided concessions, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar says.
'Fixing the Debt' on Average Folks
Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein and other tycoons behind "Fix the Debt" want average folks to expect less from Social Security and other safety-net programs but are doing all they can to protect their special interest tax breaks and dodge the slightly higher tax rates for the rich, note Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
America's Bloody Price for Power
Exclusive: "The Untold History of the United States" shakes up the traditional recounting of the last century, forcing Americans to rethink key assumptions, but director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick have not written a people's history, says Jim DiEugenio in part two of his review.
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.
Anti-Hagel Bullies Meet Resistance
Washington's neocons came out with all their rhetorical guns blazing against Chuck Hagel as a prospective Defense Secretary, with Elliott Abrams even smearing the Nebraska Republican as "an anti-Semite." But the old bullying for once has met some principled resistance, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
The Grilling that Brennan Deserves
Exclusive: When President Obama's national security nominees reach the Senate, the toughest challenge is expected against Chuck Hagel for Defense, but CIA Director-designee John Brennan has more to explain about his work over the past decade on the terror war's "dark side," says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.


text: U.S. Senate Appropriates $2 Billion for Child Immigrants Without Parents by Dan Riehl 10 Jun 2014 post a comment Share This: With the number of children crossing the Mexican border without parents skyrocketing, the U.S. Senate just appropriated $2 billion for the Obama administration to throw at the problem, that's $1.1 billion more than the the administration had asked for "in his budget proposal for the Health and Human Services division that cares for and houses immigrant children caught alone at the border. It would effectively come from yet unspecified changes in mandatory programs." Between 2008 and 2011, the number of children landing in the custody of HHS's Refugee Resettlement fluctuated between 6,000 and 7,500 per year. In 2012 border agents apprehended 13,625 unaccompanied children and that number surged even more -- to over 24,000 -- last year. The total is expected to be as high as 90,000 this year. The deal also allows Health and Human Services to shift additional money from other programs if the number of parent-less illegal immigrants grows beyond the currently estimated 90,000 this year. In a very real sense, it represents an open spigot of money for the administration capable of flowing as freely as the southern border. The full Senate still has to weigh in on the issue, as does the House of Representatives. Most children caught crossing the border alone are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala and cannot be quickly repatriated. Under federal law, the children are supposed to be turned over to HHS within 72 hours. Most are then reunited with parents or other relatives already living in the United States. Because of the massive influx of children this year, the Border Patrol has been forced to house many children in local patrol stations and recently has moved some young immigrants to Nogales, Arizona, where they are being quartered temporarily in a warehouse.

We stayed at the farm for a week with 2 doodle doggies. Although there was a strong sulfur smell in the hot water, the owner addressed it right after I called and it was resolved in under an hour. Another review mentions the electric fence. We simply went under or over it and walked all over the pasture lands. We got some fun pictures of the cows as well. We can assure you they were there because they bellowed a few times during the nights. The mowed areas were really lovely as was the lengthy porch. We simply put a tablecloth and flowers on the outside table and dined like kings and queens each evening. Very fun!
Great Vacation
My husband and I recently stayed in this home for 4 nights. The house is beautiful, very large and clean, filled with beautiful antiques and original artwork. It was just the two of us, but we could envision the house as being very comfortable for a large family or a few friends getting together. We greatly enjoyed relaxing on the very private deck and swimming in the pool. There is also a large hot tub on the deck, but as we were lucky to have beautiful swimming weather during our stay, we stuck with the swimming pool. The house also has a front porch that also is very private as the house is set on a very large, well maintained property up a long driveway from the road. We enjoyed watching the visiting deer on the property and listening to the chirping birds. I must admit that we were initially nervous about renting the home after reading the last review, although we were comforted by the fact that all the other reviews were very positive. We would now like to add our positive report to those others. The owner was very pleasant to deal with, and flexible in regards to some requests that we had. The owner also has taken the time to print up detailed information regarding the closest groceries and supermarkets as well as nearby sights and local attractions which is very helpful. There are also many pamphlets in the home about the local attractions. We also want to report that we did not have a problem receiving back our full security in a timely manner. We look forward to hopefully returning to the home for another vacation.
Fantastic Weekend Retreat
Many thanks to Owen and his team for crafting such a remarkable property. The house definitely exceeded our expectations and the photos do not do it justice! As you wander around the property you will find more and more rooms, with a surprise in each corner (grand piano, ping pong and pool tables etc.). Not only was there ample amount of room (we had a party of 23), the living areas were very tastefully decorated as well! The group enjoyed viewing all the rare antiquities and vintage trinkets. The group barely left the house as we enjoyed using the pool and hot tub. Each night we gathered around the amazing fire put down by the river, which was stocked and prepared for us pre-arrival. In addition, the kitchen was large and user-friendly, especially since we had several experienced chefs in the group. We also had no problems moving some furniture around to fit all 23 people at the dining table. Furthermore, the service provided by Kathryn and Corey was extremely prompt. Kathryn made the process hassle-free and even sent out pre-arrival packets that provided us with information on the surrounding area. Corey, the house manager, was very responsive when it came to house issues, and he also did a great job bringing us some extremely powerful speakers. If you are looking for a tasteful mansion tucked away in a little slice of paradise to catch up with friends and family this is it. We would definitely want to return next year.
