The buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright are not immune to the social and environmental forces that affect all architecture. Because of the popular recognition and historical significance of his work, however, the stakes are unusually high when his buildings are modified in any way. Any additions or changes must meet the highest standards; how exactly this can be achieved is an ongoing debate. Daniel Bluestone, Professor and Director of Historic Preservation Program, University of Virginia and Richard Longstreth, Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, George Washington University, will discuss the challenges and rewards of restoring Wright's historic buildings.
About the speakers Daniel Bluestone is a specialist in 19th century American architecture and urbanism. Mr. Bluestone's Buildings, Landscapes, and Memory: Case Studies in Historic Preservation (W.W. Norton, 2011) received the Society of Architectural Historians 2013 Antoinette Forrester Downing Book Award for "the most outstanding publication devoted to historical topics in the preservation field that enhances the understanding and protection of the built environment." The book surveys the changing history, nature and politics of historic preservation in the United States between the early 19th century and today. Mr. Bluestone's book, Constructing Chicago (1991), was awarded the American Institute of Architects International Book Award and the National Historic Preservation book prize.
Richard Longstreth has served as president of the Society of Architectural Historians (1998-2000); first vice president of the Vernacular Architecture Forum (1989-91); trustee of the National Building Museum (1988-94); board member of Preservation Action (1980-95), Adirondack Architectural Heritage (1998-2010) and the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. (1994-98); and a member of the National Historic Landmarks Advisory Group (1989-1994). Currently he chairs the Maryland Governor's Consulting Committee on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a member of the boards of the Fort Ticonderoga Association and the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.
Join the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust at Unity Temple as two of Chicago's leading preservation architects discuss their restoration of work by Wright in the Chicago area.
John Eifler, FAIA, will present on the history and rehabilitation of Ravine Bluffs, a housing development consisting of six houses and three poured concrete sculptures designed by Wright and located in Glencoe, IL. The project was commissioned by Wright's attorney, Sherman J. Booth, and built in 1915. 2015 marks its centennial year.
Gunny Harboe, FAIA, will discuss his restoration of Wright's Emil Bach House. Built in 1915 and located on Chicago's North Side, the house combines the vocabulary of Wright's earlier Prairie buildings with stylistic innovations that anticipate his later work. Harboe Architects was responsible for the recent restoration of the Bach House and the replication of its missing leaded glass windows.
About the speakers John Eifler is principal of Eifler & Associates Architects, an architectural firm that concentrates on both new design and restoration work. The firm was founded in 1990 and enjoys a variety of commercial, institutional and residential projects. Eifler has contributed to the restoration of a number of Wright-designed houses, including the Bradley House (Kankakee, IL) and The Darwin D. Martin House (Buffalo, NY), among others. His firm is also responsible for the restoration of buildings designed by Louis Sullivan, George Maher, Walter Burley Griffin, Schmidt Garden & Martin, Tallmadge & Watson, Pond and Pond and E.E. Roberts.
Gunny Harboe is an award-winning architect who started his own firm, Harboe Architects, in 2006. Over the last 25 years, he has restored some of the Chicago area's most cherished landmarks including The Rookery Building, Reliance Building (now the Hotel Burnham) and Carson Pirie Scott (now the Sullivan Center). His current projects include several Frank Lloyd Wright-designed sites, such as Unity Temple, Robie House and Taliesin West.

Opening Reception: January 16, 2015; 5:30-7:30pm
After World War II, a generation of young, London-based architects, artists, and writers rethought the art and architecture of a culture fascinated with American consumerism, pop culture, mass communication, and visions of a better tomorrow. In 1956, several of these architects, painters, and sculptors collaborated on This is Tomorrow. This exhibition at London's Whitechapel Art Gallery presented twelve group exhibits drawn from the everyday, which questioned the tenets of traditional and modernist art.
Recently, Geoffrey Holroyd, formerly of London and now of Santa Barbara, donated to the Museum's Architecture and Design Collection the artwork that he, Lawrence Alloway, and Toni del Renzio created as Group 12 for the 1956 exhibition. This was Tomorrow explores Group 12's contribution to the This is Tomorrow exhibition, and the architecture and design works of Geoffrey and June Holroyd.

In the eyes of many, France was the centre of the world throughout the modern age. Home of the Revolution and the Rights of Man, heart of a vast colonial empire, capital of the literary, fashion and art worlds, France, and Paris in particular, was at once historical and mythical.
Today, following upon a sequence of 'turns', from the postcolonial to the global, this centre has given way to multiple centres, to conflicting and complementary sites of physical, economic and cultural exchange. As France has transitioned from a colonial power to a central member of the European Union, it has been forced to negotiate immigration policies, the rise of political extremism and the growing unrest over the linguistic, cultural and spatial borders that divide French society. Debates about French national identity rage in political and cultural sectors: while some seek to bolster a weakened idea of 'Frenchness', others, for example the signatories of the 2007 Littérature-monde manifesto, aim to redefine or 'world' that identity.
At the same time, the 'global turn' in French studies has encouraged scholars to re-examine French literature, language, culture and history through a new, decentred perspective. Recent criticism in literature and history, for example, has returned to early modern literary texts and spaces as well as to major historical events like the French Revolution, exploring the ways in which these traditions and events were not determined in a cultural vacuum, but, as Peter Hulme has noted, 'were the product[s] of constant, intricate, but mostly unacknowledged traffic with the non-European world'.
The goal of this colloquium is to offer an image of global France and global French, past, present and future. How have French culture and politics been shaped by encounters with European neighbours and with the non-European world? How do contemporary migratory patterns and networks between France and the wider world compare to historical ones?
How have neo-colonial practices been reshaped by globalized markets and transnational capital? How have various art forms allowed for the articulation of displacement, community and solidarity throughout French history and into the global present? In short, is the global a new horizon, or one that we are just discovering?
Our aim is to generate an interdisciplinary discussion among colleagues in a wide range of fields, including literature, film, linguistics, cultural studies, history, art history, philosophy, music and digital humanities. Topics for papers/panels include but are not limited to:
Global vs. local (cultures, histories, languages, art forms)
Migration: patterns and networks
Migration: language and policy
The European Union and French national identity Multicultural, multilingual, multiethnic France/Paris Colonial, postcolonial, neo-colonial flows and encounters Translation among languages, cultures, media The circulation of bodies, capital, ideas, linguistic forms, art forms
Borders: visible and invisible, inner and outer, real and imagined, linguistic and geopolitical Travel, tourism, trade Diasporas, past and present
Please send an abstract of 300 words and a CV (max 2 pages) to email@example.com.
Papers can be in English or French. The deadline for abstracts is 5 March 2015.
Re-imagining Childhood: Images, Objects and the Voice of the Child
This conference aims to stimulate interdisciplinary debate on the question of what images and material objects can tell us about the subjective experience of being a child in the past. It will explore the ways in which non-written evidence – in particular that which comes under the heading 'material culture' and 'visual culture' – can be used to open up new possibilities for the study of the history of childhood.
As Peter Stearns indicated in his 'Challenges in the History of Childhood' (JHCY, 2008), no one interested in the importance of history as a way to understand the human condition, can ignore the importance of historical perspectives about childhood. The history of childhood has been shaped by the concerns of the world in which its historians live. Although the discipline that we understand today as 'history of childhood' is less than 100 years old, it is a field of growing interest, as reflected in the ever-greater number of publications dealing with the subject. Childhood and children are increasingly present on the bookshelves, in documentaries and in exhibitions, and there seems to be an almost inexhaustible consumption of the values and ideas that children and childhood represent. Thus we find ourselves at a fascinating time for considering what it is that adults seek in the image of the child. What attracts us? What disturbs us? What is at play in the gaze of the child?
One could claim that all histories written about children are related, in one way or another, to the book that is considered to represent the origin of the discipline: Centuries of Childhood (L'Enfant et la Vie Familiale sous l'Ancien Régime), which Philippe Ariès wrote in 1960. Ariès' great success was to convince almost all his readers that childhood has a history and that, across time and in different cultures, both ideas about childhood and the experience of being a child have changed. While Aries' evidence was wide-ranging, he has been much criticised for failing to subject it to proper scrutiny. In particular, he has been accused of "reading" images too literally. As a result, historians became very cautious about the use of non-written evidence which has only recently started to make a renewed and welcome impact. It is clear that most approaches to the history of childhood depend heavily on textual sources, but this approach can lead to a distorted understanding, in so far as many experiences of the past are not reflected in those texts. Other paths could be – and must be – explored.
Re-imagining Childhood attempts to go beyond this limitation by arguing that the history of childhood – or, at least, any history of childhood which purports to cover more than a limited historical period – is possible only through a multidisciplinary exercise that adds evidence from visual or material culture to the study of published sources. The study of the material and visual culture of childhood provides a way to contribute to a better understanding of earlier concepts of childhood. These additional sources also help us to tap into children's experiences and they thereby serve as helpful tools in unravelling the "voice of the child".
We welcome original studies that focus on any historical period, carried out within the arts and humanities or the social sciences, that shed light on the power of objects and images to bring children back into the history of childhood. An abstract of no more than 300 words for a 20-minute presentation, along with the title, name and affiliation, should be send to Leticia Fernández-Fontecha Rumeu (firstname.lastname@example.com) by March 1st. Applicants whose papers are accepted will be notified by March 15th.
The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, the Arizona Preservation Foundation, and the City of Flagstaff invite you to join them at the 13th Annual Arizona Historic Preservation Conference. This year's conference, "Paths to Preservation" is being held in Flagstaff on May 13th-15th, 2015. The goal of the Conference is to bring together preservationists from around the state to exchange ideas and success stories, to share perspectives and solutions to preservation issues, and to foster cooperation between the diverse Arizona preservation communities.
At this year's conference we will analyze the different paths to preservation. Although these paths are not always defined, they still convey a direction or process to follow. Whether a literal path, such as a historic highway, roadway or trail, or a procedural path, such as rehabilitation, adaptive re-use or the process of listing a site or property on the National Register, these paths are there to guide us to our desired location or result. Through examples from businesses, communities, and even government agencies, we will share the pathways that guide preservationists in their efforts to save our historic and cultural heritage.
The Preservation Awards will be the focal event of the Conference. The 33rd Annual Governor's Heritage Preservation Honor Awards, presented by the State Historic Preservation Office and the Arizona Preservation Foundation, recognize people, organizations, and projects that represent outstanding achievements in preserving Arizona's prehistoric and historic resources. The 29th Annual Governor's Awards in Public Archaeology are also presented at the event. These awards, selected by the Governor's Archaeology Advisory Commission, recognize excellence in archaeological awareness, conservation and education. The awards make the conference more than a venue to learn, debate and network, but also a celebration of outstanding historic preservation efforts and achievements.
As we move forward, it is imperative that we work together to build a path for the future of our valuable historic resources.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Academics, research students and practitioners are invited to submit design research papers and critical project works that make a contribution to the discipline of interior design/interior architecture through an engagement with the provocation of URBAN + INTERIOR for the IDEA JOURNAL 2015.
PROVOCATION Unprecedented movements of people, growth in population density and forces of capitalism and globalism shape the twenty-first century urban environment and transform how people live in the world – spatially, temporally and subjectively. In the disciplines of interior design, interior architecture, architecture, spatial design and urban design, one encounters the coupling of the conditions of 'urban' and 'interior' with increasing frequency. Urban interior, interior urbanization, urban interiority and urban interior design are used as provocations for designing, teaching and writing – researching and thinking – in cities and cultures as diverse as Milan, Madrid, Melbourne, Jakarta, Austin, London, Stockholm, Bangkok, Singapore and Bogotá.
While some might see this as the bringing together of vastly distinct conditions and scales, the conjunction – urban and interior – seeks to engage the potential of practices and techniques of disciplines concerned with interior and urbanism in new ways involving multi-scalar, multi-cultural, multi-discipline approaches. A rethinking of the concept of interior is invited where the defining characteristics of enclosure, form and structure are opened to other possibilities than an equation with the inside of a building. 'Interior' is introduced here in an expanded sense. A thinking differently about urbanism and the concept of 'urban' is also invoked.
The question of, and conjunction of, urban + interior is a critical one in the contemporary context where the inhabitation of urban environments and cities has exceeded the population living in rural areas; . We are keen to explore this condition through actual proposals, scenarios and solutions that address the challenges, as well as historical, anthropological, sociological and epistemological reflections.
The aspiration for this forthcoming issue of the IDEA JOURNAL is to gather this emerging trajectory composed of practices, techniques, and genealogies for future practice. With our call for submissions, we have not specified research questions or positioned in advance what, how, when or why 'urban' and 'interior' are/might be connected. Our strategy is to be open to what comes in and from this make an arrangement of connections where the potential of urban + interior can be grasped, offered up and discussed.
The conjunctions, conversations and debates have already begun. The editorial approach for this issue of the IDEA JOURNAL is different to the individual guest editor of previous issues. Five people from three cities are already in discussion about this emerging trajectory of urban + interior: Suzie Attiwill from Melbourne and the research group Urban Interior Laboratory; Davide Fassi, Luciano Crespi and Elena Enrica Giunta from Politecnico di Milano – Design Department and Belén Hermida from University CEU San Pablo in Madrid – who are co-directors and co-coordinators of [MUID] the International Master in Urban Interior Design, a program that is offered between POLI.Design in Milano and University CEU San Pablo in Madrid. And now we would like to invite others who are researching urban + interior – through design and projects, through historical and theoretical research, through teaching – to contribute and participate!
DESIGN RESEARCH PAPERS that demonstrate development and engagement with interior design/interior architecture history, theory, education and practice through critique and synthesis. The focus is on the documentation and critical review of both speculative research and practice-based research
REFEREED STUDIOS that present the nature and outcomes of refereed design studios which have either been previously peer reviewed in situ and/or critically discussed through text and imagery for the IDEA JOURNAL.
PROJECT REVIEWS that critically evaluate design-based works which seek to expand the nature of spatial, temporal and theoretical practice in interior design/interior architecture and associated disciplines.
VISUAL ESSAYS that demonstrate and present speculative research and practice-based researchthrough visual media. For examples of visual essays please refer to previous issues of the IDEA JOURNAL – for example, the visual essay by Sara Bomans and Remco Roes 'Nothing will come of nothing, speak again' (http://idea-edu.com/journal/2013-idea-journal/).
BOOK & EXHIBITION REVIEWS to encourage debate into the emerging literature dedicated to the expression and expansion of the theory and practice of interior design/interior architecture.
REGISTRATION OF INTEREST: Authors are invited to register their interest in making a submission via an online form (please see link below). Registrations of interest will be received until beginning of March 2015. It is important to note that the registration of interest is not refereed; acknowledgement of registration facilitates development of a proposal to full research paper, refereed studio, visual essay or project review by providing formatting guidelines and publication standards to registrants. Registrations of interest will be responded to within one week of receipt. Authors are encouraged to register sooner than later.

Resilience and adaptability are key elements of viable urbanism. But how have these concepts been understood historically? And how do they shape the design and stewardship of urban landscapes today? The dynamic relationships between cities and their rivers, a landscape of potentially critical adaptability and resilience, is the focus of the 2015 Garden and Landscape Studies Symposium at Dumbarton Oaks. Building on the emergence of urban humanities and urban landscape history, we propose to consider the urban river as a city-making landscape deserving of careful reading and analysis: past, present, and future.
The subject of this symposium builds on a new multi-year initiative in urban landscape studies, which Dumbarton Oaks is launching in 2015 with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Its principal goal is to create a dialogue between designers and scholars to address the landscape consequences of advancing urbanization. With this task in mind, the 2015 symposium aims to bring together the work of contemporary designers with the historical perspectives of scholars, encouraging practitioners and historians to bridge the gaps between their modes of thinking.
Cities have emerged on the banks of rivers throughout history. Rivers are multi-faceted ecological, cultural, economic, and political agents, providing resources such as food, water, irrigation, sanitation, and transportation—and liabilities including flooding, drought, and occasional changes in their locations. While many cities share the history of rivers running through their cores, the relationships between rivers and cities are shaped by unique circumstances. New Orleans and Cairo, for example, were both located on the silt deposited by floods; yet, as these cities grew, one used a dam and the other levees to harness their rivers. While describing the river as part of urban infrastructure, how can we read the river landscape as a dynamic catalyst in the urban process? What is the role of the river, beyond its performance as a transportation corridor and a water source? How do its place, its flow, its speed, and its dynamic character shape the development of cities and the experience of the urban landscape spatially, geographically, and temporally? What landscape elements are distinctive to these urban river contexts—bridges, parks, ports, weirs, mills, various defensive structures—and how might the landscapes of inland river cities differ from those in deltas and on estuaries?
Another aspect of the relationship between cities and rivers that this symposium will explore concerns its representation in human experience, practice, and imagination. How do rivers frame the urban experience? Do they offer a connection to nature in the city as so many have claimed we need? What are their cultural and ritual uses? What can we discover by investigating the historical role of the river and city-making that might offer an alternative perspective on contemporary issues of access to clean water, public space, transportation, and the challenges of climate change are addressed? How might a historical investigation offer a means to re-imagine the way we think about and use our urban rivers today? Conversely, how can the spatial thinking of designers today revise our historical understandings of rivers and cities?
The 2015 symposium will consider river cities from the earliest settlements to contemporary metropolitan regions around the globe. Just as rivers flow across continents, we are looking broadly to engage in a discussion of urban rivers, past and present, nationally and internationally.
Speaker: Anna O. Marley, Curator of Historical American
SUNDAY, MARCH 15 | 2:00pm Free; pre-registration required.
Curator of Historical American Art Anna O. Marley will lecture on Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Art's 2015 exhibition and catalogue The Artist's Garden, which intertwines stories of American artists, Impressionism, and the growing popularity of gardening as a middle-class leisure pursuit at the turn of the 20th century. Diverse fine art and material culture - including paintings, sculpture, books, and gardening ephemera - will be illustrated, revealing how the horticultural and visual arts in this period were manifestations of an emerging national Progressive era middle-class American identity. Represented will be gardens across the United States and Europe, with special emphasis on the importance of the Philadelphia area, which served as the originator of the Colonial Revival Garden movement with the Centennial Exhibition in 1876. Moreover, the Philadelphia area was the center of the publishing industry in the early 20th century, which led to the creation of magazines aimed at middle class suburban gardeners like House and Garden (founded here in 1901). By employing the interdisciplinary perspectives of horticultural history and art history, The Artist's Gardenwill reveal the far-reaching effects of the ideas of Impressionism on not just painting, but American culture at large.
Anna O. Marley is a nationally-recognized authority on American art and material culture from the colonial era to 1945. She and holds a B.A. in Art History from Vassar College, an M.A. in Museum Studies from the University of Southern California and a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. Since joining PAFA in March 2009, Dr. Marley has curated more than 10 exhibitions. Currently, Dr. Marley is organizing the nationally touring exhibitionThe Artist's Garden, with an accompanying catalog to be published by the University of Pennsylvania Press. She is also working on exhibitions on Thomas Eakins photography and nineteenth-century history painting in the Americas. Prior to PAFA, she worked for the National Gallery of Art and the National Park Service, and held research fellowships at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Winterthur Museum, the Maryland Historical Society, and Colonial Williamsburg. Dr. Marley's professional affiliations include serving as Co-Chair of the Association of Historians of American Art, and as a member of the Association of Art Museum Curators, the College Art Association, and the Society of Early Americanists. She is also a member of the Morris Arboretum and an avid gardener!

Adler: My new album is better than Chinese Democracy
Posted 30 March 2012 - 09:45 PM
Earlier this week, Jeb Wright of Classic Rock Revisited conducted an interview with ADLER, the new band led by former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Classic Rock Revisited: The last time we talked you were trying to get Slash to record with you. Slash and another great player, John 5, both appear on this album. How did that happen and what was it like working with them?
Steven: Slash has been my favorite guitarist since I was twelve years old. We did a couple of singles with ADLER'S APPETITE and I wanted Slash to come down, but I wasn't in the right state of mind and it wasn't the right time. Now that I have been working with Lonny [Paul, guitar], Jacob [Bunton; vocals; LYNAM, MARS ELECTRIC) and with our producer, Jeff Pilson, I have found that I'm in a better place in my life. Slash isn't going to come down just for anybody or anything. He came down because I've earned his respect and I've paid my dues. I am making an effort with my life and my career. John 5 came down, too. These guys are superstars. Slash is the guitar hero of the world and John 5 is like the Eric Clapton of the 21st Century. I had to earn their respect for them to come down and I did.
Lonny: From my point of view, I've always been a fan of GUNS N' ROSES and DOKKEN, so it was great to work with these guys. I love John 5, as well. I was telling my girl that I feel like I am in an out-of-control car accident but I am not freaking out. I am totally staying in control. I mean, I am playing with these guys and I'm not freaking out, but inside I am totally beside myself.
Steven: The way that Lonny felt inside, I felt that way, too. The last ADLER'S APPETITE thing that we did with the old circle of friends and family was New Year's Eve. On January 2nd, I started working with my new circle of friends and family, Lonny, Jacob and Jeff, and it has been ho, ho, ho, it's been heavy.
Jacob: When Slash walked into the room, it was a goosebump moment. You can genuinely feel the love that these two guys have for each other. These guys have been best friends since they were 12 and you can feel it. I remember being in the vocal booth and looking through the glass into the control room and thinking, "Everyone in that next room, Jeff Pilson, Slash and Steven Alder, were hanging on my bedroom wall." I really had to pinch myself.
Classic Rock Revisited: I hate comparing bands, but if you had to how would you describe [ADLER]?
Steven: It is where "Appetite For Destruction" takes off. We did everything possible to not be like the bands that are out there now. Jacob writes songs for a lot of other musicians and singers. When we were in the studio Jeff would say to try this sound, or that sound, and we would. The engineer said he has seen a lot of bands record entire albums with the same guitars and the same amps all the way through. We liked experimenting with the sounds. The world needs a new rock and roll band and we're just the guys to give it to them.
Jacob: Our sound has the GUNS N' ROSES edge to it because Steven has such a signature sound on the drums. He is one of those drummers that you hear and you instantly know it is him. We listened to a lot of old albums from bands that had identifiable sounds because we wanted to have an identifiable sound as well. This is really a great rock and roll record.
Steven: We stole from the best. You show me a musician that has never stolen anything from anybody and I will show you a band that doesn't have a record deal.
Classic Rock Revisited: Is this album better than "Chinese Democracy"?
Steven: Of course it is. Can you name one song off of that album? Within one day of this record coming out, you're going to know the names of every song.
Classic Rock Revisited: If Axl won't get up and play at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction, why don't you get Slash and Duff [McKagan] and the three of you up there and play some tunes?
Steven: That is a thought, but if that doesn't happen, then I am going up there with just a drum set and I'm playing along with the CD. GUNS N' ROSES, the original band, has not performed for 22 years and we are still respected around the entire world. I feel that when a band is put into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, then they should play. I am dedicating my award to the bands that should be in there. If it wasn't for KISS, UFO, DEEP PURPLE and JOURNEY and bands like that, then there would be no GUNS N' ROSES. We owe it to the fans to play and it is just a god damned rock and roll band. All we do is play music. Why can't we just get on stage for ten minutes and play for the fans? Are you telling me those assholes can't get onstage and do that? We should do it for the fans.
Axl, statement to the press, March 1994, about "Look At Your Game, Girl":
I think people think I'm crazy because I believe in telling the truth. I'll admit sometimes I don't do a perfect job of it, but my efforts are true.

Nice location and price
Posted Mar 1, 2015Our 4 night stay at the Equus was very pleasant. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed after a long day of activities. Zach down by the front desk was great about helping us find different activities to book during our stay such as whale watching, a luau and a day at Pearl Harbor. The beds were very comfortable at night but the only downsides were the slightly small shower space and the street noise due to the location next to the busy street. However, I would be more than willing to stay here again. The rooms were a good deal, the staff helpful and the hotel is located a short walk from the Ala Moana Mall, an ABC store and the beach.

Comfy room,nice helpful staff,close to downtown
Posted Jan 6, 2015Pros: Convenient location comfy beds
We stayed our first week in honalulu at the hilton wakiki so when we first got to the Equis I was a bit worried it was definatly older and smaller and not updated . But I have to say you can't judge on first impressions...... Staff was very helpful.... Rooms were clean and very comfy( loved the beds) shower was better than the hilton!!!!!! Parking staff was also so helpfull and efficient $22.00 a day to valet ( cheaper than the $33.00 at the other hotel) xoxo

Not as nice as expected
Posted Jan 3, 2015Positives: beds were extremely comfortable, close to Ala Moana Centre. Staff were nice. Negatives: looks very old. Housekeeping was inconsistent w vacuuming and bathroom cleaning. Bit further from Waikiki beach than expected.
for Everyoneby A verified traveler
Posted Dec 31, 2014
Pros: The staff is very helpful and welcoming. The location of this hotel across the street from the Prince, and the yacht harbor is very convenient.
Cons: Room size is a bit small. Pricing was higher than the Prince, Waikiki, which disappointed us.
Location: Ala Moana mall is a five minute walk, as is the yacht harbor.
We were only here one night, and most of our time was spent out and about.
for Everyoneby A verified travelerfrom Kauai
Boutique hotel close to everything
Posted Dec 26, 2014Pros: Its location, cleanliness, price.
Cons: I wish there had been information in the room about restaurants and nearby attractions.
My friend and I stayed at the Hotel Equus as an overnight girls' trip from one of the outer islands. It's within walking distance of Ala Moana Shopping Center, Ala Moana Beach Park, even Waikiki. It's also half a block away from convenient bus stops. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and cozy and inviting. I'll stay here again.

Posted Dec 12, 2014
did not expect to have to pay for parking and the bathroom was very small and since it is right on Ala Moana blvd you have to deal with the traffic noise until late at night and early in the morning. Is close to Ala Moana center and not far from the beach.

nice hotel near ala moana mall
Posted Nov 28, 2014only bad thing is I called front desk about the wifi connecting to my room. it did not work the whole 2 days i was there. ... i called 4 times and even walked to the front desk once to see if they can do anything. ... they should have offered to move me or maybe i should have asked to switch rooms. try to not stay on the 4th floor lol

Great location!
Posted Nov 15, 2014Pros: The service was top-notch and very helpful! Everyone there was soo nice, from the valet parkers, to the guy in the information stand. Excellent!
Cons: The hallway lighting can be a bit too dark at night. Can be hard to see.
Location: Near Waikiki beach, and a marina. Lots of restaurants and retail shops. Not far from the airport.
My room was located on the fourth floor at the Equus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and very comfortable.. nice and cool when I initially checked in. The Valet parking costs $25 a day but most of the fees were waived for me because I usually parked my car rental myself if I was able to find a space on my own. The room had a ironing board and iron, a refrigerator and a coffee maker and of course a 36" TV. I really loved the view i had, overlooking busy Ala Moana Blvd. And hope to book that very same room again when I return to Honolulu. It does tend to get a bit noisy with the occasional car blasting music at 6am in the morning, but overall the street noise wasn't that bad. The hotel is located a couple of miles from a Walmart, and you're in walking distance to Waikiki Beach. There are also a ton of restaurants and places to go shopping all nearby.
for Studentsby A verified travelerfrom 松山市
Posted Nov 12, 2014Pros: 値段がそこそこ安くて無料Wifiが付いている。
Cons: 部屋に机とスタンドライトを置いていただけるとありがたい。
Location: 徒歩2分のところにABCストア(コンビニ的なお店)があり、アラモアナショッピングセンターまでも徒歩5分の好立地。ただ、ワイキキビーチまではトロリーバスで15分程度と少し距離があります。頑張れば歩いていけない距離でもありませんが30分以上かかると思います。

Featured Book Speaking In Whispers-African-american Lesbian Erotica by Kathleen Morris
Featured Book Cooking by the Book by Carolyn HowardJohnson
Cameras hang from your beams, a cheap plastic chime. Not as vile as the operator, the incinerator of a man's success. What happened to fact, the pact of, journalism? Does the slug eyed monster, truly spy with such hateful cluster? How do you decriminalize, the compensation soaked in lies. A life spent wearing a bush, living for that disdainful push, with days scouring for insincerity, a glimpse of impropriety that never was. Show me the fascination of this midnight meditation of the fiend's next column. When was pushin' the truth under a beer stained cushion born, A frenzied craze in hiding those unselfish acts that should have been be praised. A paparazzi shuffle for money and name, nothing but a killing game. A literary snake whose rancid skin never changes just rearranges its slither. And oh the compass is pristine; it carries the ping of a devastating murder of passion. Now uncover your mirror tabbie man, if you can stand the devil who resides beside you. Your ilk killed an icon, slaughtered the song, and executed the gift of the One. Enjoy your greed before the revived returns, tickets are for sale to watch you burn. I ask but one thing from the scandal whores, to measure your jaw from face to floor. The tabbie mans dead pen lies dried in the rafters. Oh how sweet comes the laughter.

Discoveries that make a difference
OMRF Technology Ventures Office is currently seeking industry partners to collaborate with us (in the form of research collaboration, licensing, etc.) to develop and commercialize the following technologies. Please contact Carla Nickles for more information regarding these or other available technologies.
PRODUCTION OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS THROUGH INHIBITION OF BRIGHT / ARID3A Inventors: Dr. Carol Webb and Dr. Paul Kincade OMRF's technology identified Bright or ARID3a (as it is known in humans), promotes reprogramming of somatic cells into induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS) – like state. The use of Bright/ARID3a inhibitors has significant potential as a method of producing populations of stem cells for a variety of regenerative medicine indications. |
UBIQUITIN INTERACTING PEPTIDES AS CANCER THERAPEUTICS WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF EXTRACELLULAR HISTONES AS BIOMARKER Inventors: Dr. Hong Chen and Dr. Yunzhou Dong OMRF Scientists have uncovered several important regulatory functions of cellular events, including the endocytic regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Notch signaling. Using Epsin knockout or conditional knockout mice, our scientists revealed the novel functions of epsins in modulating tumor angiogenesis in several cancerous animal models. |
FULLY HUMAN ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN AUTOANTIGENS OMRF's technology is a more efficient approach to make antibodies. OMRF's approach is to use cells that we choose to make antibodies. This powerful and fast approach will be useful in various therapeutic targets (anthrax, influenza, smallpox, etc). |
AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES OMRF scientists are dedicated to understanding and developing more effective treatments for human disease, focusing on such critical research areas as heart disease, cancer, lupus, and Alzheimer's disease. This link provides a list of OMRF's available technologies. |
The work of OMRF scientists also has yielded more than 500 domestic and international patents. These patents speed the movement of discoveries from bench to bedside, ensuring that patients receive the treatments they need in the shortest possible time. And every one of these patented discoveries represents a potential revenue source. With each patent that gives birth to a new drug, OMRF—and Oklahoma's economy—can reap millions of dollars. Each patented discovery also represents a potential new business venture, and OMRF has spun off numerous biotech start-up companies. These companies, in turn, fuel widespread private-sector growth, creating high-quality, high-paying jobs, many right here in Oklahoma.
OMRF Spinoff Companies:
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Bridge-Blood Technology (now part of Bioenvision, Inc.)
Centaur, Inc. (now a part of Renovis, Inc.)
HealthAide, Inc.
InterGenetics, Inc.
J.K. Autoimmunity

Lavender Goodnight Spritzer Recipe
The isopropyl alcohol in this spray acts as a preservative and helps the essential oils evaporate relatively quickly. In dry climates, like the Mojave Desert, you can reduce the amount of isopropyl alcohol considerably because the spray will be less likely to leave your linens damp. Lavender is a strong disinfectant on its own, so if dampness isn't a concern of yours, you may be able to get away plain water in place of the isopropyl alcohol.
- 10 drops Lavender essential oil
- One ounce water
- One ounce isopropyl alcohol (any concentration)
- 2 ounce spray bottle
- Measuring cup
- Label and pen
- Fill your spray bottle with one ounce of water and one ounce of isopropyl alcohol.
- Add 10 drops of lavender essential oil.
- Close the spray bottle and label it.
Storage and use:
Store your lavender spray in a cool, dark place, such as the drawer in your bedside table or dresser. It will keep for several years. When you need a bit of help falling asleep, such as during stressful times like competitions or the holidays, spritz your pillow just before going to sleep. You can also use this spray to help fight infection and help you sleep when you're unwell. It is safe to use with childern, babies, and the elderly so long as they are not allergic to lavender.

Edward Gauvin is simply awesome. I first met him when he was working at the French Publishers' Agency. Actually, that's not exactly accurate. I first corresponded with him when he was at the FPA, but I first met him in person when he was visiting Rochester. See? People do visit Rochester. Edward's actually been up here twice (at least), including last fall when he was here to participate in a Reading the World Conversation Series roundtable with Michael Emmerich, Martha Tennent, and Marian Schwartz. (Click here to watch the video of the event—it really was one of the best RTWCS events to date.)
One of the things I really like about Edward is his broad literary interests. Sure, he's well versed in the Oulipo, in all facets of "high art," but he also knows a shitload about international science fiction and translates a lot of graphic novels for First Second Books. (Another reason to love Edward—and this isn't an intentional attempt to bury the lead—is just how much he knows about international comics. It looks like I'm going to help put together a series of events at the next New York ComicCon related to international graphic novels, and along with Douglas Wolk and Laurel Maury, Edward's one of my go-to people for info on who/what I should know about.)
Edward was also an ALTA fellow a few years back, and has since had a residency at the Ledig House and found a publisher for his first book-length prose translation (the beginning of which won him the fellowship . . . I think).
Anyway, to the questions:
Favorite Word in Any Language: "Indefferer" to be indifferent to as in "cela m'indiffere," which is equivalent to "that leaves me cold." "Thesauriser" (or "to amass") comes a close second.
To amass something with complete indifference . . . sounds like b-school speak.
Best Translation You've Done to Date: has to be my labor of love to date and first book-length prose fiction translation: A Life on Paper, the selected stories of Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud
Small Beer Press will be publishing this in May, and more info can be found here. Before linking to some of the online excerpts, here's the jacket copy, which is sure to get more than a few people interested:
In many ways, Châteaureynaud is France's own Kurt Vonnegut, and his stories are as familiar as they are fantastic. A Life on Paper presents characters who struggle to communicate across the boundaries of the living and the dead, the past and the present, the real and the more-than-real. A young husband struggles with self-doubt and an ungainly set of angel wings in "Icarus Saved from the Skies," even as his wife encourages him to embrace his transformation. In the title story, a father's obsession with his daughter leads him to keep her life captured in 93,284 unchanging photographs. While Châteaureynaud's stories examine the diffidence and cruelty we are sometimes capable of, they also highlight the humanity in the strangest of us and our deep appreciation for the mysterious.
Sounds like something we'll definitely be looking at for the 2011 Best Translated Book Award . . .
But if you can't wait until May, there are a couple Châteaureynaud pieces available online: Delaunay the Broker appeared in Words Without Borders, and The Only Mortal in the Brooklyn Rail.
Most Difficult Translation You've Ever Done: "The Red Loaf" by Pieyre de Mandiargues. He's another mid-century fantastical writer. His Goncourt-winning novel The Margin was translated by Richard Howard (as were a number of others through Grove, and Boyars), and his sadistically decadent The Englishman in His Château was recently published by Dedalus Press, in their notable European fantasy line. None of his many short stories have yet appeared in English.
This is sort of a bonus question from Edward since most translators either answered the "best translation you've done" or "most difficult." But what the hell, Mandiargues sounds pretty interesting as well . . .
What Book Needs to Be Published in Translation: the stories of Noel Devaulx
As Edward mentioned in an e-mail to me, there's not a ton of info on Devaulx available online, but there is a more academic article by Mark Temmer entitled "Noel Devaulx: His Fantasies and Allegories" that has a nice provocative opening:
Noel Devaulx writes as much to be misunderstood as to be understood. The resolution of the paradox lies in the nature of irony, which displays ignorance or weakness to further its own ends. It must be confessed, however, that such stratagems do not always succeed; initial defeats may be too great or adversaries too dull. And lest so much subtlety go to waste, it seems worth while to renounce human encounters in favor of anonymous readers on whose part one may suppose intelligence and sympathy.
More relevant to this post is Edward's write-up as part of the Quarterly Conversation Translate This Book! series:
Noël Devaulx is the secret master of the 20th century French fantastique. His prose has the shimmer of Mérimée and the seemliness of Flaubert; clearly, he keeps Nerval by his bedside, the better to read it by the light of a Baudelairean lunacy. In his hands, the Kunstmärchen—nine collections' worth, over nine decades—is reinvented as the vessel of a personal metaphysics; evident in every one is his mandarin mastery of narration. Jean Paulhan, an early champion, famously called his hermetic, exquisite tales, oft-featured in the NRF, "parables without keys": spellbinding, even when perfectly obscure, for the secret to his prose is promise. Some enticing deferral of revelation extends past his final lines, into silence. [. . .] Many of Devaulx's tales are haunted by death and madness, but Sainte Barbegrise reads like a virgin spring, or a breeze from a summer kingdom. It belongs, for its humor, for its merry invention, for its skillful use of marvel, on a shelf with Little, Big, At-Swim-Two-Birds, or The Complete Tales of Ketzia Gold.

The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .

Hi there
I've filled this out about 3 different times now and I'm tired of sounding like everyone else who fills it out. It's hard to describe yourself and exactly what you want and not sound cheesy or give the standard answers that everyone else give. Yes I like to go out and have fun with friends, but most the time I would rather be with someone special out to a nice dinner or at home on the couch drinking wine and watching a movie. I'm very close to my family and I have a 6 year old daughter, so if you don't like kids then it won't work. I am searching for true love and a true companion...someone who makes me happy just when I see them. I'm a very caring and giving man and want to find someone who makes me happy and I do the same for
