Getty Museum to Exhibit Photographs by Frederick H. Evans
Frederick H. Evans (British, 1853-1943), "Kelmscott Manor: In the Attics" (No. 1), 1896. Platinum print, image: 15.6 X 20.2cm. 84.XM.444.89. ©Mrs. Janet M. Stenner, sole granddaughter of Frederick H. Evans. The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
Through a deep understanding of his subject and a delicate handling of light, mass, and volume, Frederick H. Evans (British, 18531943) created photographs of medieval cathedrals that capture the innate spirituality of each stone building. On view at the
J. Paul Getty Museum
, the Getty Center, February 2June 6, 2010, "A Record of Emotion: The Photographs of Frederick H. Evans" explores the artists images of medieval cathedrals in England and France, rarely seen landscapes of the English countryside, and intimate portraits of Evanss family and friends. This exhibition will run concurrently with Urban Panoramas: Opie, Liao, Kim.
Evans began photographing cathedrals in the mid-1880s. He was able to create magnificent examples of light and shadow through the interior views of historic sites such as Ely Cathedral, York Minster, and Westminster Abbey. More than simply recording their physical features, Evans sought an emotional connection with the spaces he photographed, aiming for a record of an emotion rather than a piece of topography. His interiors are often dramatic renderings, paying homage to the inner sanctity of the site while also exploiting the architectonic elements.
He described the cathedral photographs as studies since he approached each building in a methodical, measured way. In documenting these sites, Evans stayed for several weeks studying them from early morning to dusk, pacing around naves and cloisters and recordingfirst as notations in a notebook and later as photographic images on paperthe changing effects of light as it illuminated dimly lit interiors at various times of day. Choosing to work in platinum for its tonal range, Evans was a purist who did not believe in manipulating the negatives. He advocated, Photography is photography; and in its purity and innocence is far too uniquely valuable and beautiful to be spoilt by making it imitate something else. His expert craftsmanship extended to the presentation of the actual prints, which were carefully mounted onto different colored paper supports or featured a series of applied borders.
One of the many highlights of Evanss architectural photographs is a small selection of prints documenting Kelmscott Manor, home of William Morris, the leader of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England. These photographs, central to the Getty holdings, are arguably among Evanss finest pieces. Although similar to the grand cathedrals in evoking a kind of reverence, the images are much more intimate and reflective. Starting with distant views of the house from the river, Evans leads the viewer across the site, into the house itself, and through the various chambers. He studied the location and considered the architectural space in a series of views that sought to capture the soul of the place, culminating in photographs of the light-filled attic.
Other highlights include "A Sea of Steps", one of his most recognizable and appreciated photographs of Wells Cathedral. Evans made several attempts over a number of years to successfully capture the wave-like motion of the worn, stone steps. Today this particular image is among the most renowned architectural renderings in the history of photography. Although lauded for his architectural photographs, Evans was also accomplished in the areas of portraiture, landscape, and photomicrography (photography using a microscope), and he brought to each subject the same intensity that characterizes his cathedral images. A small selection of his photomicrographs will be included in a rare display of the glass lantern slides (photographic images on glass) that Evans used for his public lectures.
From 1890 to 1898, Evans ran a bookshop in London. During this time he came into contact with various literary figures, and over the years many of them sat in front of his camera. Included in the exhibition are portraits of the playwright George Bernard Shaw, who shared with Evans an enthusiasm for the pianola (automatic player piano), and the young Aubrey Beardsley, whose graphic talents Evans is credited with having discovered. In his portraits Evans attempted to evoke the sitters personality. Using a Dallmeyer-Bergheim lens, because it afforded a greater degree of softness in rendering facial features, he tended to isolate the sitter with little background detail or props to convey their psychological presence.
Also on display in the exhibition are photographs by Evans that capture the beautiful landscapes of the English countryside. Evans began making landscapes in the early 1880s when he was seeking respite from health problems and found himself traveling often to the Lake District in the north of England. His numerous trips to local woodland areas in Surrey resulted in photographs of majestic trees that recalled the soaring columns of cathedrals.
For Evans the work was clearly an emotional enjoyment that is revealed in this exhibition of his life and work, says Anne Lyden, associate curator of photographs and curator of the exhibition. He attempted to capture what he called a record of an emotion, by invoking the potent symbolism of these awe-inspiring spaces.
After premiering at the Getty this winter, "A Record of Emotion: The Photographs of Frederick H. Evans" will be on view at the National Media Museum in Bradford, England, from September 24, 2010February 20, 2011.

In the May, 2015 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, we feature Steven Stoiber's 1970 GTO, a car he's owned since 1986, and a car he spent five years rebuilding and modifying to his taste. In the course of the story, we asked who came into his life first - Mrs. Stoiber or the GTO. His answer? "I met my wife in 2002 and I've had the car since 1986. Once I retired from the Army, I bought a house and settled down in Arizona. I finally had some spare time on my hands, so I decided to put that time into restoring my GTO.

We'll admit it: the last edition of the $5,000 challenge scraped the bottom of the barrel in trying to dig up interesting offerings. Things are looking up, though: spring is in the air (except in our Bennington, Vermont, world headquarters, where winter has yet to relinquish its grasp), and with it, we're received a fresh crop of interesting, $5,000 and under ads. Discounted advertising on cars in this price point helps, too, so the selection of cars in this edition should appeal to a broader audience. If you're looking for commonality, here it is: all of the ... Read more
Are the Las Vegas carspotting scenes we run - like these two, courtesy Vintage Las Vegas - as representational of what Americans drove at the time as any of the rest of the carspotting scenes? After all, Las Vegas is a destination, a place where people went on vacation, a place that attracted a certain demographic. We're more likely to see carspotting scenes at the glitzy casinos and resorts rather than at the Las Vegas grocery stores. Then again, even Las Vegas and that certain demographic were part of the entire American landscape, so while these photos aren't ... Read more
Mechanically, this 1978 Citroen Mehari for sale on Hemmings.com looks to be just about brand new, following a complete down-to-the-frame restoration. Aesthetically, it's been treated to some customization along a blue-and-white color scheme that shouldn't detract from it in the least - after all, anybody unique and individualistic enough to go for a Mehari isn't likely to complain about their Mehari not looking exactly like all the other Meharis out there.

Matsuda still in danger a day after cardiac arrest
Former Japan captain Yuji Nakazawa says he is still in shock after ex-teammate Naoki Matsuda suffered a cardiac arrest during training.
Matsuda collapsed after finishing a 15-minute warmup run during training for J-League club Matsumoto Yamaga on Tuesday and was rushed to a hospital.
Matsumoto Yamaga officials said Wednesday that he is still unconscious and remains in serious condition.
Nakazawa says ''I can't believe it'' and ''I hope he recovers consciousness quickly and we can hear his voice again soon.''
The 34-year-old Matsuda played 40 times for Japan, including at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. He played a total of 385 J-League games for the Yokohama F Marinos from 1995 to 2010.

As a Taiwanese, I have to say that any type of hostility involving armed forces from China is extremely unlikely at this moment. Taiwan still possess enough modernized hardware that can deny a quick victory from China and I am sure the Communist China knows this.
However, this is not to say that armed military conflict will not occur in the next 10 years. (Seems to be what this report is aiming for.) From economic point of view the collapse of the global economy seems almost certain, (even if USA debt issue is resolved, China's real estate bubble will still burst and bring down their own banking system.) and it is very easy for the Communist China to blame the west (ie USA) as a way to unify its people when unemployment runs high. Radical faction within the CCP may take the opportunity to gain control much like how WWII started. Conflict would likely start with N/S Korea and China vs India, which seems almost regional much like how WWII start with Austria and Czech.
Obviously, this is only 1 possibility and may never happen. What the history has taught us is that at the time of depression logic and reason go down the toilet, even within the civilized Europe. Personally, I am happy that the Pentagon is thinking ahead. I really hope that all the discussion is unnecessary, but this recession will piss off a lot of people. If the Communist China feels that the west has screwed them over, then well let's just say that imperialistic expansionism is no longer the sole reason for war anymore. China has already carried out several naval skirmishs with weaker southeast Asian countries (ie. India) in the south China Sea. I just hope it won't get worse, and if it does, we won't be left to our own devices.

According to iRobot, the global market for vacuum cleaners costing over US$200 is worth $6 billion a year. The company is looking to grab a greater share of this pie with its new Roomba 800 Series robot vacuum that was rolled out this week.

According to research undertaken by Neato Robotics, in addition to chair/table legs and under furniture, the biggest pet peeve of those undertaking vacuum duties in the home is getting close enough to room corners and edges. Add tangled cords and pulling/pushing around a heavy, noisy box to the equation and the idea of a robotic device taking care of all matters related to floor cleaning is a very appealing one indeed. The Silicon Valley company has just unveiled what is claimed to be its smartest and most powerful robot vacuum to date in the shape of the XV Signature Series. Read More
Despite the fact that the majority of those reading this live in homes with cornered rooms, the most popular robot vacuum cleaners (including the latest Roomba models) have a distinctly circular shape.

The Kasich-Taylor for Ohio campaign filed its petitions today for its official spot in the Republican primary for governor.
Republican former Congressman Bob Ney admits to taking illegal gifts, including a golf trip to Scotland, from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, but he says John Boener and other House Republicans went back on several promises.
It was the most expensive and perhaps the most bitter campaign for U.S. Senate in Ohio history.
As President Obama rallied students on the Ohio State University campus, Republican challenger Mitt Romney stumped in suburban Cleveland.
The preliminary vote count has Romney taking Ohio by a less-than-one-percent margin.
The latest poll of likely GOP voters in Tuesday's Ohio primary shows a ten-point swing between Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney over the last week.
Rick Santorum's lead over Mitt Romney appears to be shrinking in the Ohio GOP primary race. The latest poll from Quinnipiac University gives Santorum a 35-to-31 perecnt lead. That's within the poll's margin of error, and down from the 36-to-29 lead Quinnipiac reported just four days earlier. Ohio primary voters head to the polls on [...]

NOT optimara cora?
The initial flower on this one (and there was only one) looked like optimara cora. Because the plant was damaged, it needed to grow out before it flowered again. The first flush of flowers began opening up last week. What the heck, cant identify it!
Ever seen one like this? In bright light, it is this color. In lower light, it looks almost black.
Reminds me of 'black swan'.
If it is an Optimara, I would agree this is Cora. The leaves look correct and the flowers can be nearly all dark purple in the summer heat. The current blooms on mine are similar. In the cool of winter, the blooms can be nearly all white. Its very changeable!
The "thumbprints" will tend to go solid in the heat of summer. This includes Millennia which always went solid red for me. I would wait for cooler weather before settling on a color for something that might have white in it.
It doesn't bother every plant, just some of them.
OTOH, I've been puzzling over one that might be Trinidad (they said they'd brought back the original for a bit) or poss. Yellowstone. She is going to ask on the Optimara ID Facebook. The leaves on hers look somewhat different. Those do remind me of Cora when I had it but I'm never going to go around id'ing Optimaras based solely on leaves :)
I have had thrip damage previously. This is different. There is no damage to the petals except that they are discolored. I havent seen thrips for a month or so since the windows were closed and I disbudded about that long ago.
I am going to go check again though. Maybe they are hiding from me.
After a thorough check, I found one thrips on one AV. So thrips damage possible. May do something about. Probably wont.
Unless I decide to repel them from all AVs but one and hope it takes the brunt of the damage.
Certainly not going to disbud in the midst of a large flush of flowers.
Is there seriously no way to treat for thrips without damaging/removing blooms? One would think, after all these years of AV propagation, somebody would have figured something out.
Thank you, TerriLou,
For your explanation.
I have one that was 70% white when I got it in the colder weather. Now in the hot summer, it is 60% to 70% purple. The plant is internally consistent, all the blossoms are the exact same color proportion. I like it either way. Joanne

Aidana, still plugging away at Blood and Fire. How is the art business going?
Hope you can stop by and leave a comment on this week's book review.
Aidana, please come check out my latest book review blog

I love your artwork!
I used to have books that featured all artwork and illustrations of science fiction and fantasy scenes. Your picture above reminds me very much of that very type of artwork.
I am trying to get quotes for a cover illustration and book cover for my upcoming novel, Blood and Fire: The Vampire/Dragon Wars.
You can click on my avatar to go to my page and view the prototype illustration that I am working with right now. It needs a lot of work. The characters depicted are essential elements for the cover illustration-I just need the finished product to look infinitely more professional.
Please let me know if you are available for hire and how much you require for your services.
Thank you,
You said I should add a testimonial to your site.........I just did.
Of course you know that my reference to your being dark was my ultimate compliment.
I find the genre you pursue to be a dichotomy between light aloofness billowing in time and space, juxtaposed against a dark motionless haunting spirit. It has a gossamer quality that travels the inexplicable path of multi-colored infinity which communicates with everything and nothing.
Greetings, haven't heard from you for awhile. How be da book bidness? lol

A Hunger Strike Against Solitary Confinement: Shane Bauer on Inhuman Prisons from California to Iran
More than 12,000 prisoners in California have entered their fifth day of a hunger strike in a push to end long-term solitary confinement, which they call a form of "indefinite state-sanctioned torture." Other demands include ending harsh group punishment, redefining gang activity, improving food quality, and increasing access to healthcare and education services. In addition to refusing meals, more than a thousand prisoners are also missing classes and prison work programs. This is the third large-scale hunger strike in the past two years. The current fast began at Pelican Bay State Prison and has now spread to two-thirds of the state's 33 prisons. Corrections officials have reportedly responded by threatening to search prisoners' cells, subject them to mental health evaluations, and deny them access to visitors and mail. "While the solitary confinement is at the core of it, it's kind of about a lot of other issues," says Shane Bauer, a reporter who investigated the use of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons for Mother Jones magazine last year. "It's become a much more widespread hunger strike. Each prison has its own demands. There are demands you see for rise in wages, from 13 cents an hour to $1 an hour, demand for the return of educational classes, and really the demands for the return of a lot of services that have been cut in recent years." Bauer began investigating solitary confinement in the United States shortly after being released from 26 months in an Iranian prison.
Josh Fox on Gasland Part 2, the Fracking-Earthquake Link & the Natural Gas Industry's Use of PSYOPs
Scientists are warning that the controversial practice of natural gas hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, may lead to far more powerful earthquakes than previously thought. Fracking injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth in order to break up shale rock and release natural gas. A new study published Thursday in the journal Science by a leading seismology lab warns that pumping water underground can induce dangerous earthquakes, even in regions not otherwise prone to tremors. The new report comes as Academy Award-nominated director Josh Fox has released the sequel to his highly acclaimed documentary "Gasland," which sparked a national discussion on fracking. The new film, "Gasland Part II," exposes how the gas industry and the government's portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is highly suspect. He also discusses how drilling companies have admitted to having several former military psychological operations, or PSYOPs, specialists on staff, applying their skills in Pennsylvania to counter opponents of drilling. "What's really disappointing about this is that this is a moment when an American president has come forward and spoken about climate change and exhibited his obvious and earnest desire to take on the problem; however, the emphasis on fracked gas makes this plan entirely the wrong plan," says Fox, noting that methane released from fracking sites is more potent than other greenhouse gases. "Moving from coal to fracked gas doesn't give you any climate benefit at all. So the plan should be about how we're moving off of fossil fuels and onto alternate energy."
From North Carolina to Texas: Grassroots Movement Grows To Resist Anti-Abortion Bills
A showdown is expected in Texas today after a state Senate committee approved a bill critics say would shut down nearly all of the state's abortion clinics and ban abortion at 20 weeks post-fertilization. An earlier attempt to pass the bill was thwarted last month when protesters raised their voices to drown out the proceedings following a nearly 11-hour filibuster by Texas State Senator Wendy Davis. Meanwhile in North Carolina, state House Republicans have advanced anti-choice restrictions by secretly attaching them to a bill on motorcycle safety. On Thursday, the state House voted 74 to 41 to approve the bill, which imposes a series of restrictions critics say are aimed at shutting down abortion clinics. The provisions are similar to those passed by the North Carolina state Senate last week without a public hearing as part of a bill ostensibly designed to bar sharia law in the state. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory threatened to veto that bill. We speak to Janet Colm of Planned Parenthood in Central North Carolina. She was arrested on Monday at the state Capitol as part of the ongoing Moral Monday protests.
Moral Mondays: 700 Arrested in North Carolina Civil Disobedience Campaign Against GOP Lawmakers
For weeks, thousands of people have been gathering at the North Carolina State Legislative Building for the weekly "Moral Monday" protest called by the NAACP to oppose the agenda of the Republican-led state Legislature. Over the past 10 Mondays, 700 people have been arrested, including the Rev. Dr. William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP. "If you want to change the nation, you have to change the South," Barber says. "If you want to change the South, you have to change the state capitols, and we believe that this extreme ideological group understands that their narrow-minded agenda doesn't have much longer in the public arena."

Even if you don't actually like to cook, there is a certain pleasure to be had from just perusing cookbooks. Some have gorgeous photography. Some authors write about food in a way that can get you craving flavors you've never tasted before. Cookbooks allow you to fantasize about dishes that you might make (if you could find all of those rare ingredients and if you actually had all the strange kitchen gadgets required!). They allow you to travel the world through the cuisine of various countries. Some get so specific that they center around a single ingredient.
Recently, the finalists for the 2015 Lambda Literary Awards were announced. Always expanding as the number of LGBT books continues to grow, these awards celebrate the best in gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender writing--fiction, nonfiction, genres, and children's and young adult books. Out of more than 800 submissions from over 400 publishers, finalists were chosen in various categories. Here are some of the finalists from our collection:
You've probably noticed that many new and returning television series have their roots in the comic book world. Whether the shows are strictly based on certain titles (most aren't) or inspired by characters and worlds originally created by comics writers and artists, you can enrich your viewing experience by delving into the backstory of your new favorite hero or antihero.
Here's a list of some TV to comics ties and suggestions for reading to get you started:
The 26th annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards were given out on July 25 At San Diego Comic Con International. Awards were given out in 30 categories to works published in 2013, celebrating the best of the comics world.
What is it about biographies and memoirs? Is it the thrill of finding out intimate information about someone we only know through a public face? The inspiration we get from stories of overcoming obstacles? Learning more about someone when all you really know is that you respect their work? Biographies are perpetually popular at the library, and we are always getting new ones in, but it seems that October is the month that all biography lovers are waiting for.
Do you hate it when your friend says she is reading the latest bestseller from your favorite author, and you didn't even know that the book was coming out? Here at the library, our goal is to have books ordered before you even know that you want them. With about 300,000 books traditionally published every year in the United States (and that many, or more, self published), and the means to buy only a small fraction of them, how does your library decide what to buy, and, more importantly, how can you get on the list early so you're not waiting months for the latest hot title?
Here at the library, we're not just thinking about a Summer of Reading for kids and teens--summer is a great time for EVERYONE to read, and we're already looking ahead to the hot books that you'll be craving. Whether you're a mystery buff, want to get lost in the world of science fiction or fantasy, can't get enough of compelling memoirs and biographies, or like a little bit of everything, we've got a summer book on order for you! Get on the holds list for your favorite author's new book today--or try something new!
The 2013 James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award and Honor List were recently announced. The Tiptrees are an "annual literary prize for science fiction or fantasy that expands or explores our understanding of gender" and are probably my favorite book award.
While this year's winner, Rupetta by N.A. Sulway, currently has limited availability in the United States, check out the British publisher's website for options. We'll be on the lookout for a U.S. edition to get for the library.
Every five years, the Young Adult Library Services Association creates a list of Outstanding Books for the College Bound and Lifelong Learners in collaboration with academic librarians.
Whether you are a high school student thinking of heading off to college soon, an adult considering returning to school, or at any stage in your life and wanting some direction in your continuing education, the 2014 list is a diverse group of books, nonfiction and fiction, in various categories, that will expand your thoughts about the world around you. The books are at different reading levels and in different formats, and there's something here that should both interest and challenge nearly anyone interested in feeding their mind.
As we all get used to writing "2014" as the date, here is a last look back at some of the notable authors we lost in 2013. Their words will long endure.
Chinua Achebe--Nigerian writer who died at age 82. His most famous work is Things Fall Apart (1958).
Iain Banks--Scottish author of both contemporary and science fiction.
Tom Clancy--popular author of espionage and military thrillers. His classic works include The Hunt for Red October and other books starring CIA operative Jack Ryan.

I'm looking for the right ROM.
It must have:
- Android 4.3 or 4.4
- Working ServiceMode menu (*#27663368378#) with Band selection (*#2263#).
Yeah, it's that simple.
CyanodegenMod 10.2 for example does not have the 2263 Band selection, so It is completely unusable for me.
Any options?

So a lot of people know this little trick to get in while the servers are down (Although at the moment I can't manage to get a game going...) I was just wondering why there is such a thing and how it works.
Who would matchmake when servers are up down up down left right left right b a (start)
The code is here, but it only works as a brute force to the login, it can't restart the server for you if it really is down.
The Ground
The Konami code was put in this game because it was made by older generation Game nerds. Nerds like me and my friends. One of them actually figured it out one day on his own just to see what would happen.
