Atlantic City to Norfolk Friday night to Sunday night
Anchored in Atlantic City waiting for the storms to pass tomorrow. hoping to catch a window on friday night or saturday and ride it all the way to norfolk before the next cold front and that tropical depression catch up with us.
anyone got any useful thoughts on the matter? Anyone in Atlantic city and want to run with us?
Capt'n K.
You might want to take a look at PassageWeather - Sailing Weather - Marine Weather Forecasts for Sailors and Adventurers. It would seem there will be some fairly stiff south westerlys developing during that time period.
PassageWeather is great. we use it all the time. The window I mentioned is getting to be less and less of a window at all. Now it's looking more like SW winds than W. That's on the nose. The best west would be overnight Saturday through Sunday, and they'll be strong and may even tend to the SW too. Not a fun run, that's for sure.
So maybe we'll wait for all these fronts to leave and the next nice high to come in about a week or so. Or maybe we will eek our way down to Cape May and wait there. For now we are sitting here in Brigantine, jut across the Absecon inlet from Atlantic City.
A bit longer but with these conditions you could go up to the C&D canal and then head south. We did it on O8 and it is a nice and very easy route

A television channel on Tuesday claimed that some Indian-sounding names figured in the Swiss bank secret accounts data, which were handed over to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange by a former Swiss banker.
Headlines Today showed a list purportedly containing names of the secret account holders in Julius Baer Bank and Trust Ltd, a Swiss Bank. The list was handed over by one of its former employees, Rudolf Elmer to Assange.
The channel showed the list purportedly containing Indian-sounding names but made it clear that it could not independently verify the genuineness of the identity of the account holders or whether they were Indians or not. Two entities had purportedly parked the equivalent of about Rs.432 crore.
Mr. Elmer told the channel: "I think that the owner of Julius Baer is very much in the business of India. They actually hired investment managers sitting in India for getting money out of India."

Crocheting & knitting
- I like doing crochet better than knitting, but love the look of both. As EvelynAvalon pointed out, there are more and more beautiful crochet sweater patterns being published. The way to make crochet drape more for clothing is to use smaller yarn and bigger hooks. Probably no handknitting is quite as drapy as machine-knitted t-shirts either, because most people probably wouldn't hand-knit that much stockinette with such small yarn. (Though you do see lace-weight yarn used a lot in shawls, but they're not stockinette).
- —Guest Norah
Knitting vs. Crochet
- I do both. While crochet tends to be faster, it also tends to be more openwork. For a solid fabric, knitting is the way to go unless you are doing tunisian crochet. However, I enjoy doing both arts.
- —juli1961
I Like Both Knitting and Crocheting
- I like both knitting and crocheting. I knit and crochet my hats. For afghans, definitely crochet, it's way faster than knitting an afghan.
- —Guest Trina1952
Crochet All The Way!
- Are you kidding? Crochet, crochet, crochet, crochet. Did I mention crochet? Crochet is easier. Crochet is way faster. And crochet is better for everything except sweaters. Even then, it's a tossup, because there are more and more beautiful crochet sweater patterns available. If you only learn to do one or the other, make it crochet!

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The new USPTO patent subject matter eligibility guidelines set forth a detailed analytical framework for evaluating whether claims satisfy the patent subject matter eligibility requirement of 35 USC § 101. If you are an examiner, patent agent, patent attorney, or applicant overseeing patent portfolios in chemical, biotechnology, or life sciences technologies, you should read and study the Guidelines. (You can start with this summary.) But even if the Guidelines are not likely to impact your daily practice, there are five things you should know about them.
5. The Guidelines do not apply to claims that raise "abstract idea" issues.
If your patents typically face subject matter eligibility issues for allegedly reciting abstract ideas, the Guidelines won't help or hurt you. Instead, the Guidelines provide that "claims reciting an abstract idea … should continue to be analyzed for subject matter eligibility using the existing guidance in MPEP § 2106(II)."
4. The Guidelines apply to all types of claims.
Other than the "abstract idea" exception, the Guidelines apply to all types of claims that "recite or involve laws of nature/natural principles, natural phenomena, and/or natural products." This means that even article of manufacture and composition claims are subject to analysis under the Guidelines. (If you missed it, please see this article about the treatment of pharmaceutical compositions under the Guidelines.)
3. The Guidelines do not shed much new light on Prometheus-type claims.
Although the Guidelines apply to all types of claims, they do not include any new examples on diagnostic or personalized medicine type claims, although they repeat some examples from the initial Prometheus guidelines.
2. The Guidelines define "natural product" broadly.
The Guidelines define "natural product" as including "chemicals derived from natural sources" and "other substances found in or derived from nature." The Guidelines read the Myriad and Funk Brothers Supreme Court decisions together, and provide that a product must be both "non-naturally occurring" and "markedly different in structure from naturally occurring products" in order to be patent eligible.
1. The Guidelines are not the final word on patent subject matter eligibility.
The Guidelines reflect the USPTO's interpretation of Supreme Court case law addressing patent subject matter eligibility. As such, the Guidelines are subject to challenge in a court proceeding and are subject to modification by future court decisions. If the Guidelines are used to reject your claims, and you disagree with the USPTO's interpretation and application of governing law, you should consider appealing the rejection to the Federal Circuit.

Red Tracton's
550 Via de la Valle, Solana Beach. (858) 755-6600 or redtractonssteakhouse.com
> A keyboard artist tinkles out tunes in the bustling lounge. In the main dining room, there's horse-racing décor. Tables are topped with Alaska king crab legs, filet mignon, twice-baked potatoes and lemon drop cocktails. And the hard-nosed waitresses are used to you wild after-the-racetrack types.
Filippi's Pizza Grotto
1747 India St., Little Italy. (619) 232-5094 or realcheesepizza.com

Grant Grill
The US Grant Hotel, 326 Broadway, downtown. (619) 744-2077 or grantgrill.com. *Highly recommended

Venice Pizza
3333 El Cajon Blvd., City Heights. (619) 283-2333 or venicepizzahouse.com

Bali Hai
2230 Shelter Island Drive. Shelter Island. (619) 222-1181 or balihairestaurant.com

La Bella Pizza Garden
373 Third Ave., Chula Vista. (619) 426-8820 or labellapizza.com

Napoleones Pizza House
619 National City Blvd., National City. (619) 474-2888. Closed Sundays. *Highly recommended
> Lackluster looks (checkered floor; crooked paintings on the wall; a high-school hangout feel). But growly singer Tom Waits worked at this family pizza joint, then immortalized Napoleones in song. And the placid pizza maker Peter Crivello can be seen in the open kitchen assembling smooth-and-spicy meatballs for a heartwarming hamburger pie ($6.75 small, $11 large). 1959

Interviewed in the new issue of Glamour, Nicole Kidman is remarkably candid about at least one downside of being Mrs. Tom Cruise.
"I felt I became a star only by association," she says, adding that the movies they made together, like Days of Thunder, weren't very good. That, she adds, "is why I would always cower in the background. I thought, I don't deserve to be here."
She says that she would go to events like the Oscars to support him.
"I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard."

The chimpanzee's characteristic shape includes arms that extend beyond the knees, opposable thumbs and a prominent mouth. The skin on its face, ears, palms, and soles of the feet is bare, and the rest of the body is covered with brown to black hairs. Adults have bare, black faces, and fur color ranging from deep black to brown; young chimps have pinkish ears, nose, hands, and feet.
When erect, chimps stand between 3 and 5 1/2 feet tall. In the wild, males can weigh between 75 and 150 pounds, and females between 57 and 110 pounds.
Chimpanzees usually move on the ground, although during the day they stay mostly in trees, where they also sleep in makeshift nests made with vegetation. The species walks on all fours, but individuals can also walk on their legs for more than a half-mile, and young individuals sometimes swing from branch to branch.
Chimpanzees eat with their hands, which they also use to throw objects at enemies and to create tools. Notably, chimps will poke a stick into a termite mound to feed on the insects and can crack open nuts.
Once found in 25 African countries, chimpanzees now are extinct in four and nearing extinction in others due to the terrible toll exacted from deforestation and commercial hunting for bushmeat. All four subspecies of chimpanzee are listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Urgent measures are needed to conserve remaining chimpanzee populations. In West Africa WWF is working to develop and strengthen protected areas in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. In Central Africa, we are helping establish and manage protected forest areas in Gabon, the Central African Republic, Cameroon and several other countries. WWF is also working to stop the illegal killing of apes in logging areas and to reduce the impact of the bushmeat trade on endangered species such as apes.
Range statesAngola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, United Republic of Tanzania, Togo , Uganda
Chimpanzee Profile
Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint. Humans and chimps are also thought to share a common ancestor who lived some four to eight million years ago.Chimpanzees live in social communities of several dozen animals, and can habituate themselves to African rain forests, woodlands, and grasslands.Although they normally walk on all fours (knuckle-walking), chimpanzees can stand and walk upright. By swinging from branch to branch they can also move quite efficiently in the trees, where they do most of their eating. Chimpanzees usually sleep in the trees as well, employing nests of leaves.Chimps are generally fruit and plant eaters, but they also consume insects, eggs, and meat, including carrion. They have a tremendously varied diet that includes hundreds of known foods.Chimpanzees are one of the few animal species that employ tools. They shape and use sticks to retrieve insects from their nests or dig grubs out of logs. They also use stones to smash open tasty nuts and employ leaves as sponges to soak up drinking water. Chimpanzees can even be taught to use some basic human sign language.
Wild chimpanzee populations have plummeted in the last 20 to 30
years, and face more threats ahead. The bushmeat trade (the
unsustainable hunting of wildlife) is a root issue endangering
chimpanzees. To make this practice even worse, orphaned
chimpanzee babies are typically sold in local markets and often end up
in the pet trade after watching their mothers being brutally killed.
Hunters remove more than 1 million metric tons of bushmeat from the Congo Basin forests each year.
In only one year, 15,000 carcasses from wild species passed through the
markets in the city of Brazzaville - approximately 293 of them were
It's time the U.S. stood up against the cruel practice pushing chimps and other endangered species to the brink of extinction.

But by the time the permits were revoked, the work had been completed, including turning a cellar space into the lower level of a "duplex" apartment, which, according to a 1996 record, was the highest-renting apartment in the building, fetching $2250 for five rooms. (In contrast, rent listed for one of three longtime tenants was $109 for four rooms.) Kinsey's monthly rent roll for the single property was $22,184.30.
Kinsey took the case to the Board of Standards and Appeals, a quasijudicial city agency. There, DOB staunchly defended its revocation of the permits as recently as late March. But in June, DOB offered to restore the permits. "Accordingly," a DOB attorney wrote to Kinsey's lawyer, "your application before the Board of Standards and Appeals will be withdrawn."
Restuccia was stunned. "The owner goes to BSA and DOB starts rolling over? It's very curious. Why is it okay all of a sudden? It's clear that the special district means nothing."
Kalin says ignoring the SCD is just one reaction to a superheated real estate market. Cash offers to get tenants to leave, especially in SROs, are also common. "Buyouts are coming back in a big way," says Kalin. "I have one tenant who was offered $50,000 to leave an SRO, and another $75,000."
SROs have long been a key piece of the Clinton housing stock, though even the 8000 units there now are about half as many as a decade ago. Many SROs have been converted to tourist-class hotels. One of the most famous is the Longacre on West 45th, where Kalin says that only about 40 SRO tenants remain of the more than 100 who lived there in 1995. In the spirit of Disney, the hotel is now known as the Aladdin and is primarily for tourists.
Indeed, SRO tenants were among Hell's Kitchen's first casualties in the 1980s, when landlords converted old hotels to co-ops and condos. Some rousted old tenants by moving in criminals. Others torched buildings. And others relied on unadorned thuggery. Megadeveloper Harry Macklowe used the cover of night, ordering the midnight demolition of four SROs on West 44th Street in 1985.
Ironically, this month Macklowe will open his 26-story luxury high-rise at 50th and Eighth Avenue, complete with terraces, health club, and prewired fiber optics. Alcove studios rent for $1800. Macklowe has named the tower Longacre House.
IN LATE JUNE, a pack of the city's most powerful real estate interests assembled downtown to hear the details of a potentially lucrative scheme: The city was seeking a developer to build housing on Tenth Avenue near 54th Street. The highest bidder would be free to charge market rents for 80 per cent of the apartments, providing 20 per cent were set aside for low-income tenants. Tax breaks were offered. The deal was sweet enough to attract titans such as The Brodsky Organization, Rockrose Development, Harry Macklowe Real Estate Company, Helmsley-Spear, and Donald Zucker to a prebid conference. Bids are due to the department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) September 30.
HPD's description of the site--close to Midtown and in "one of the most popular and vibrant communities in the City"--might sound like a real estate come-on. To many Clinton residents, it also sounds like the city's commitment to affordable housing has gone down the toilet.
The lots for sale are part of the Clinton Urban Renewal Area (CURA), a square bounded by 50th and 56th streets between Tenth and Eleventh avenues. With 22 acres, including vacant lots and empty buildings, CURA is perhaps the largest parcel of developable city-owned land in Manhattan south of 96th Street--and as such, one of the last areas that can be developed to draw "a large influx of white people," says Kalin.
"Luxury and market-rate apartments are not what urban renewal is supposed to be about," says Cappy Haskins. Haskins moved into a tenement within CURA in 1983 after she and more than two dozen tenants were driven out of a Clinton building by a managing agent who went to jail for his deeds, which included threatening to murder tenants. "HPD's plans are very disturbing." HPD did not return calls for this story.
Tenth Avenue is a prime CURA location, and plans for its development have changed with the mayors. Ed Koch had floated an 80/20 plan for a span of the avenue just blocks south of the site currently up for bid, but it sunk under community opposition. David Dinkins allocated $16 million for a very low and moderate-rent development on the site that HPD is now selling. In the middle of his first term, Rudy Giuliani trimmed that to $10 million, and by 1996, he cut money entirely.
Clinton residents say that HPD's current market-rate plans also serve as sort of a shock tactic aimed at forcing the community to move forward on a long-embattled second CURA parcel. That is a turn-of-the-century tenement called The Flats on Eleventh Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets. Opened as part of the Model Tenement Movement, The Flats featured a day-care center and co-op store on the first floor, along with a courtyard and exterior stairwells to enhance fresh air and light. But since the city took over the building when it declared the urban renewal area in 1969, the 63-unit Flats has dwindled to housing only 13 families. Four of seven floors are boarded up.

His theory of evolution had become widely accepted by the time of death. His theory on natural selection being the primary process of evolution would not see sufficient support until the 1930s.Marvel ApesCharles Darwin once pissed off the Ancient One (Earth's now-deceased Sorcerer Supreme) and got mystically exiled to the Planet of the Marvel Apes for a couple weeks. He immediately drew the attention of L-ook-i (God of Mischief), who proceeds to split Darwin into three forms (Human Darwin, Ape Darwin, and Future Human Darwin). Eventually, Future Human Darwin uses super-science to transform Human Darwin into the Low Evolutionary. Eventually Future Human Darwin and Ape darwin are rejoined into one person and sent back to the regular marvel universe, the Low Evolutionary stays in the ape universe, but leaves earth to travel the cosmos.

is that something about Sue Ellen's hairstyle ?
Album Rating: 4.5Yes, according the ''reviewer'', this live album was apparently released before Annie would have copy Sue Ellen's hairstyle.

Really nice.
Christmas Village Cottage
The cottage was furnished well with the "basics"- towels, utensils, dishes pots & pans, grill, etc. The kitchen had a stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator- all very clean. Both bedrooms and the living room had televisions (19" in the bedrooms; about a 26" or so in the living room)- the living room also had a dvd player. Shower worked well. Would have liked to have had a "fire pit" to roast marshmallows. We didn't spend a lot of time in the cabin (ate and slept there), and it worked great for us. We did use the pools, mini golf, and exercise room- all were "free" as part of the rental. We also used Christmas Mountains Golf Course-- a nice course...a little disappointed we had to pay a "fee" for ridealongs who didn't golf. Not a show stopper though- and we had a great time.

ADA COUNTY -- It's been almost a year since Idaho starting offering a new license when it comes to carrying concealed firearms.
The enhanced license became even more popular when it became part of the guns on campus law, which goes into effect July 1.
But exactly how many people have this license, and what it's takes to get it?
A training class took place Friday out at the Black's Creek Range off Kuna-Mora Road in Ada County.
About 12 people at the eight-hour class, and the instructors say they've been busy keeping up with all the people wanting the enhanced license, and believe the demand will only go up once the guns on campus bill becomes law.
You have to shoot a hundred rounds using either a revolver or a semi automatic.
Focusing on safety and a close range target, like a typical defensive shooting situation.
You need to make sure you're using your firearm as a tool of last resort, said instructor Andrew Odom.
Before going to the gun range, there are hours spent in the classroom discussing the law when it comes to carrying concealed and the ethical responsibilities as well.
We want to make sure you have the skills, and knowledge, and the attitude to not only own and operate a firearm, but also carry one for a defensive purpose in the community, said Odom.
For Randy Bartlett it's useful information, even though he's been around guns since he was 12, and has carried since he was in the military decades ago.
It's always good to get a refresher, we get complacent sometimes, we get into bad habits, and these gentleman help break us of those habits, said Randy Bartlett, who is getting his enhanced license.
Bartlett said he's here because the enhanced permit allows him to carry concealed even when he travels to other states.
Patrick Evans, a 21-year-old Boise State student, says he's here because the permit gives him the option to bring a gun to school once the guns on campus law goes in effect.
Being a university student it offered me with greater protection. I don't personally plan on carrying at school, but in the event that I park on campus and leave the weapon in my vehicle, it covers me legally, said Evans.
Evans and Bartlett are two of many who are now interested in the higher-level license.
In fact, from July 1, 2013 to April 2014, there were nearly 2,000 enhanced licenses throughout the state.
Since then, in just two and half months, that number has jumped to more than 3,000.
Instructors believe the publicity behind the guns on campus bill played a role, but say the number one reason people take their class is to carry across state lines.
It is much better training. It really gets people's eyes open, and hey, this is actually how a gun works. I have to have one, and know how to use it, and take the responsibility to actually get more training with it, said instructor Zsolt Torok.
The enhanced carry license does require a background check as well.
The regular permit involves less time and has no actual range shooting, just the classroom instruction.

"Are you supposed to shave down there? If so, how?"
health expert AnswerElisabeth Morray
mom AnswerRuth Anne Lemley
peer AnswerLeah Sipher-Mann
Just as we all have our own hairstyles and favorite cleansers, how you tend to your nether-regions is a very personal matter. For some, shaving is the way to go, and others prefer a more natural look. There is no "right way" to groom your pubic hair, and as long as you keep things clean, there is no need to change the appearance of this sensitive area if you do not want to do so.If you decide to shave what it referred to as your "bikini line", just use the same techniques that you would on your legs or armpits. Make sure you have a good razor, soak the hair for a few minutes, and use shaving cream, body wash, or even conditioner to help the razor glide smoothly over your skin. Some people suggest shaving in a "top to bottom" direction to avoid ingrown hairs and irritation. Afterwards, you may want to use a gentle moisturizer or a product designed to help soothe your skin after shaving.
The good news is you have choices! There's a great article that may help you evaluate some options and see what works best for you. You definitely don't HAVE to do anything! One thing l didn't know that I learned from the article was the health risks associated with shaving and sex. I had no idea!
Girl, let me tell you one thing: You're not "supposed" to do anything when it comes to grooming your pubic hair. You can do whatever you want that makes you feel most sexy and comfortable. I shave my bikini line some weeks, and skip it totally other weeks. If you do want to shave, it's a similar process to shaving your legs. I like to take a bath beforehand and soften the skin so I get a cleaner shave. To minimize razor burn, try exfoliating the area with a loofah sponge before shaving and make sure to use a moisturizing shaving cream. But again, do what makes you feel the best!

Aspen Magazine: 1965–1971
Aspen Magazine was a multimedia magazine conceived of, edited and published by Phyllis Johnson in New York from 1965 to 1971. Aspen broke new ground in terms of its editorial concept, design approach and distribution strategy, which continues to be resonant and influential today.
The magazine featured a diverse and impressive array of contributors, from such key artists, musicians, authors and theorists as Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Ian Hamilton Finlay, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Allan Kaprow, Ed Ruscha, J. G. Ballard, Bill Evans, Philip Glass, the Velvet Underground and Yoko Ono. Known as "the magazine in a box", Aspen was made up of unbound contents that included texts, flexi-discs, reels of film and other objects. It struck a chord in the 1960s artists' publishing culture—which included publications by Marcel Duchamp, Seth Siegelaub and members of the Fluxus movement—and embraced the idea of presenting travelling exhibitions in a book (or a box, for that matter) in order to provide alternative spaces and economies for art.
The exhibition Aspen Magazine: 1965–1971, from November 26 to February 8 2015, at Charles H. Scott Gallery, Vancouver, features complete sets of all issues, with a focus on the combined edition of issues five and six from 1967, which was guest-edited by Brian O'Doherty and is referred to as The Conceptual Issue. Contributors to this issue include Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Hans Richter, Sol LeWitt, Mel Bochner, Naum Gabo, László Moholy-Nagy, Dan Graham, George Kubler, Robert Morris, William S. Burroughs, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Morton Feldman, Michel Butor, Tony Smith and Merce Cunningham. Barthes first published his influential and important essay The Death of the Author in this issue.
Learning to Read Art: A Surviving History of Printed Matter
Printed Matter, a pioneer in the field of artists' books and a nerve center for New York's alternative arts world for four decades, is the subject of the exhibition Learn to Read Art: A Surviving History of Printed Matter at 80WSE gallery, New York, from December 2 to February 14.
A carefully selected amalgamation of books, records, exhibition documentation and flyers, the exhibition charts the organizational history of the New York non-profit in relation to the history of artists' books and important movements in contemporary art from the 70's to the present, encompassing the alternative space movement, downtown NYC counter-cultural scenes, and artist activism.

The Liberated Page
The recent evolution and democratisation of printing techniques has encouraged many artists to re-evaluate their position in relation to literature, to books, and to the page. Dedicated to the exploration of new practices within art book production, The Liberated Page will consider the page for its simultaneously poetic, structural and physical elements.
From November 21 to December 28 2014, Bâtiment d'art contemporain, Le Commun, in Geneva, the exhibition will highlight a wide range of interventions and approaches, and will discuss in particular, how artists invent new books and why their invention opens up new possibilities for the page – as well as for communication and language.
The Liberated Page will highlight the work of several contemporary artists concerned with the page, in conversation with such historic examples as books from artists Dieter Roth, Edward Ruscha, and Seth Siegelaub, bookworks from publishing houses Something Else Press and Ecart (including work by Daniel Spoerri, Robert Fillou, Emmett Williams, and Dick Higgins), an anthology by Guy Schraenen, the Mèla post card book from Maurizio Nannucci, as well as the complete Franklin Furnace archive.
Offprint Paris 2014
Offprint Paris, November 14-16, 2014, Beaux-arts de Paris, is an art-publishing fair featuring discerning publishers on art, photography, design and experimental music labels. This year's edition showcases more than 130 publishers, from over 20 countries (all participants now announced on the website), selected by Yannick Bouillis, Charlotte Cheetham and Maxime Guitton.
The Line / Types of Architecture / Shores of the Mediterranean / Cities of Italy – Saul Steinberg
On the occasion of the exhibition Architecture by Line in Lausanne, an artist's book has been published by Nieves and brings together for the first time, as individual leporellos, the four long drawings Saul Steinberg produced for the Children's Labyrinth, a spiraling, trefoil wall structure at 10th Triennial of Milan, a design and architecture fair that opened in August 1954. The drawings were photographically enlarged and incised into the wall.
The Line, which begins and ends with a hand drawing, is Steinberg's manifesto about the conceptual possibilities of the line and the artist who gives them life. As the horizontal line shifts meaning from one passage to the next—water line, laundry line, railroad track, among others—it comments on its own transformative nature. The Line occupied one of the structure's three leaves, while the other two hosted Types of Architecture, Shores of the Mediterranean, and Cities of Italy.
Types of Architecture is a satirical survey of world architecture (Steinberg was trained as an architect in Milan), from America's log cabins to Bauhaus exaggerations to fragile skyscrapers.
Shores of the Mediterranean presents a sailor's-eye-view of the Mediterranean coastline, filled with the ruins and renascences of successive civilizations.
The Italy Steinberg knew as a student in the 1930s resonates in Cities of Italy, as the inked line, drawn with the artist's usual spare elegance, imagines an urban sprawl of campaniles, factories, piazzas, apartment houses, curlicued domes, and a water tank that seems to have escaped from a carnival.
One Hand, and the Other
One Hand, and the Other, a book by Emil Salto, published by Cornerkiosk press.
There's a hand and there's another and then there is the other. Echoes of year-old sunlight exposing hand gestures, a soft shadow against changing background, and a brilliant rectangle entering the frame and fixating the narrative.
Pensée Nomade, Chose Imprimée
October 4, from 6pm at castillo/corrales, Paris, on the occasion of the release of PNCI, Pensée Nomade Chose Imprimée (1989-2013), Michel Aphesbero and Danielle Colomine, the artist duo behind the legendary magazine 4 Taxis, and the non-less legendary studio Pensée Nomade Chose Imprimée that they organized with Jean Calens at the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts, will put together a small exhibition made of archival footage, publications and paraphernalia from the 25 history of the most Situationnist and punk-rock teaching experiment ever conducted.
Sturtevant: Double Trouble
Sturtevant. Haring Tag July 15 1981. 1985
Sturtevant (American, 1924–2014) has been "repeating" the works of her contemporaries since 1964, using some of the most iconic artworks of her generation as a source and catalyst for the exploration of originality, authorship, and the interior structures of art and image culture. Beginning with her versions of works by Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol, Sturtevant initially turned the visual logic of Pop art back on itself, probing uncomfortably at the workings of art history in real time. Yet her chameleon-like embrace of other artists' art has also resulted in her being largely overlooked in the history of postwar American art. As a woman making versions of the work of better-known male artists, she has passed almost unnoticed through the hierarchies of mid-century modernism and postmodernism, at once absent from these histories while nevertheless articulating their structures.
Though her work of the 1960s and 1970s may appear to be simply mimetic exercises in proto-appropriation, Sturtevant is better understood as an artist who adopts style as her medium and takes the art of her time as a loose "score" to be enacted. Far more than copies, her versions of Johns's flags, Warhol's flowers, and Joseph Beuys's fat chairs are studies in the action of art that expose aspects of its making, circulation, and canonization. Working primarily in video since 2000, the artist remains deeply engaged with the politics of image production and reception, using stock footage from Hollywood films, television, and advertising to point to the exhaustion built into much of postwar cultural production.
The exhibition Sturtevant: Double Trouble, from November 9, 2014, to February 22, 2015, at MoMA, New York, is the first comprehensive survey in America of Sturtevant's 50-year career, and the only institutional presentation of her work organized in the United States since her solo show at the Everson Museum of Art in 1973. Rather than taking the form of a traditional retrospective, the exhibition offers a historical overview of her work from a contemporary vantage point, interspersing more recent video pieces among key artworks from all periods of her career.

Ray Johnson @ Karma
American popular culture and the environment of the "art world," combined with a sly use of puns, codes, inside jokes and signature wit mixed with piercing perceptiveness, comprise the frame for much of Ray Johnson's work. Using his own brand of semantic structure, Ray Johnson creates complex and multi-layered portraits—of himself and of other subjects.
From October 7 to November 1, 2014, Karma, New York, presents an exhibition of previously unseen work by Ray Johnson. A comprehensive publication will be released in conjunction with the exhibition, which includes 296 color illustrations of collages, drawings, interventions and other ephemera.
The best American book of the 20th century
The best American book of the 20th century, a project by artist cooperative Société Réaliste, and designed by Project Projects, consists of the first sentence of the first best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the second sentence of the second best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the third sentence of the third best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the fourth sentence of the fourth best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the fifth sentence of the fifth best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the sixth sentence of the sixth best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the seventh sentence of the seventh best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the eight sentence of the eight best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the ninth sentence of the ninth best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the tenth sentence of the tenth best-selling book of 1900, as listed; the eleventh sentence of the first best-selling book of 1901, as listed; and so on up to the end of the century, to the thousandth sentence of the tenth best-selling book of 1999.
As 'The Best American Book of the 20th Century' travels through the textual materiality of an entire century of mass-produced literature, it suggests intertextual relationships between the narratives of American fiction. Since a multitude of changes in time and culture converse in the book, the project transverses the usual, formal standards of language, questioning power dynamics between reader and writer.
Roma Publications 1998 – 2014
Installation shot Bremen, ROMA PUBLICATIONS 1998-2012, Research Centre for Artists' Publications, Weserburg, Bremen, 2012
Roma Publications 1998 – 2014 is an exhibition that includes over 230 books and editions published by Roger Willems and Mark Manders in collaboration with a large number of artists, writers and designers.
A publication is typically the end point of a project or exhibition; this exhibition, however, takes the printed format as its point of departure. Books, newspapers, posters and other printed matter are combined with artworks and installations relating to the publisher's identity inside an exhibition dimension. The informal way of bringing art and publications together in a carefully composed exhibition gives clear insight into the working process of Roma Publications, which is based on a collaborative relationship to the artists. Another interesting element of this hybrid approach is that it questions the sometimes thin line between an original and a reproduction, and thus between the exclusiveness of an artwork and the democratic nature of a publication.
The exhibition aims to present the form of the book as an extended media that can involve the exhibition space. Some of the invited artists will contribute to the fading of the distinction between paper and space, image and material, original and reproduction (the print run of Roma Publications' issues varies between 2 and 150.000 copies). Many of these practitioners use the book and printed matter as a central medium in their work, underlining not only the important role of publications to diffuse artistic production, but also in the rethinking of the book medium as an artistic practice.
The independent art publisher Roma Publications, founded in 1998 by artist Mark Manders and graphic designer Roger Willems, works in collaboration with artists, designers, writers and institutions. For the exhibition at the Fondazione Giuliani, from October 11 to December 13 in Rome, the entire in-progress list of over 230 titles will be on display, in addition to a specially created reading room in which visitors can peruse each of the publications. Several new commissions and site-specific artworks will also be included in the exhibition, together with pre-existing works, all by artists who have actively collaborated with and participated in the activities of Roma Publications. With the exception of just two artists, all of these artists will be exhibiting in Rome for the first time, some for the first time in Italy.
Curated by Lorenzo Benedetti and Roger Willems. With contributions by Gwenneth Boelens, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Marlene Dumas, Geert Goiris, Kees Goudzwaard, Sara van der Heide, Arnoud Holleman, Rob Johannesma, Jan Kempenaers, Irene Kopelman, Bart Lodewijks, Mark Manders, Marc Nagtzaam, Oksana Pasaiko, Petra Stavast, Batia Suter, Raymond Taudin Chabot, Wouter van Riessen, and may others.
On Saturday 11th October, from 11am to 1pm, the Foundation will host a musical performance by Wouter van Riessen, a reading by Nickel van Duijvenboden and an informal conversation with the curators and some of the artists in the exhibition.
The Library Vaccine
View of Vigilance: An Exhibition of Artists Books Exploring Strategies for Social Concern Curated by Lucy R. Lippard and Mike Glier; Franklin Furnace, 1980; Courtesy Mike Glier.
The Library Vaccine, from September 25 to November 9 at Artists Space in New York, is an exhibition that presents a number of discrete collections of books in order to sample art's distinctive relationship to the book form in its singularity, and in its states of reproduction, distribution and accumulation. The exhibition addresses the book as a particular technology, and in its collective state of the private collection, reading room or library, as a social machine – registering social and personal histories, and articulating structures of knowledge and value through the relations between its parts.
Each section of the exhibition presents a collection that loosely corresponds to a decade between the 1960s and the present day, yet it does not seek to survey a recent history of books in or as art; rather it takes the tension between book-as-text and book-as-object as a starting point. The exhibition marks a movement from the egalitarian, curative aspirations of the book as distributed artwork, to these aspirations' subsumption within broader tendencies towards collecting, archiving and the re-circulation of knowledge.
Some sections of the exhibition revolve around curatorial or editorial frameworks that highlight artists' use of the book form, while others focus on the collection or library as a holistic entity. In these contexts the act of collation emphasizes shifts between the private and the common, the artwork and the artifact. The roles of artist, publisher and collector are seen to overlap, and the sequenced content of both the individual book and the massed collection provides sites for the production and articulation of meaning. In each instance, the mode of physical display of the books is considered as an extension of their individual or collective character.

Rules of Hypergraphy
Roland Sabatier, hypergraphic photograph, excerpt from the novel Gaffe au golf, 1964.
"Hypergraphy" is an artistic practice developed by the Lettrist avant-garde in the 1950′s. They defined it as "introducing into alphabetic writing not only the art of painting, but the graphics of all people or social categories past and present, as well as the graphics or anti-graphics of every individual imagination".
By means of a timeline drawn by artist Roland Sabatier, the exhibition Rules of Hypergraphy – a project by Paul Gangloff, September 26 to October 5, Extrapool, Nijmegen – shows how the Lettrists situated hypergraphy within the history of writing and painting. It further assembles works by turntablist Marc Matter, (typo)graphic designer Karl Nawrot, graphic designers Our Polite Society and sound poet Jörg Piringer, each of them exemplifying uses of signs and letters that goes beyond writing.
The accompanying publication works as a subtext for the exhibition. It provides further insight into the concept of hypergraphy, but also prolongs the investigation by taking a detour into the relation between the Lettrists and the punks.
Initiales n° 04 – Initiales M.V.
La revue Initiales esquisse les contours d'une galerie de "portraits en creux" en s'organisant autour de "figures-source", existantes ou fictives.
Le quatrième numéro de la revue s'intéresse à l'utopie "réalisée" de Monte Verità, première colonie artistique d'Europe et communauté "contre-culturelle" avant la lettre composée d'artistes, de mystiques et d'anarchistes qui attira Mikhaïl Bakounine, D.H. Lawrence, les Dadaïstes, Hermann Hesse, James Joyce, Isadora Duncan, Suzanne Perrottet, Paul Klee, Gerhart Hauptmann, Max Weber, Ernst Bloch, etc.
Initiales M.V. pour Monte Veritá, du nom de cette colline du canton du Tessin en Suisse où s'implanta, en 1900 et jusqu'à la fin de la Première guerre mondiale, cette communauté d'artistes et anarchistes pré-hippie.
Un collectif donc, à rebours du travail de décryptage d'une figure unique, puisqu'ici, de l'écrivain Herman Hesse au pyschanalyste Otto Gross, en passant par Dalcroze et Laban, deux théoriciens de l'art chorégraphique, les danseuses Mary Wigman et Isadora Duncan ou encore l'économiste Max Weber, c'est toute une galerie de portraits qui s'offre à nous. Et autant de personnalités diverses, réunies temporairement, le temps d'un projet qui connaîtra ses heures de gloire avant une descente aux enfers parfois mal interprétée.
Autre enjeu majeur, la disparition relative de cet épisode qui échappa longtemps aux radars de l'histoire de l'art, jusqu'à sa redécouverte, à la fin des années 1970, par le commissaire d'exposition Harald Szeemann. Et donc une réflexion plus générale sur la question et la matérialité de l'archive. Installé à Tegna, à quelques kilomètres de Monte Veritá, Szeemann fondera successivement, en 1978, 1983 et 1987, trois musées documentant les vestiges de l'ancienne communauté – dont l'un d'entre eux, construit sur le site de l'ancienne Casa Anatta accueille depuis 1981 l'exposition permanente "Les Mamelles de la vérité". Curateur et théroricien culte, Harald Szeemann sera l'une des figures à hanter ce projet éditorial. Le contexte politique, économique et idéologique de cette période, qui présente bien des similitudes avec notre époque, constituera également un angle de lecture.
Lancements, le 11 septembre à la Fondation d'entreprise Ricard à Paris, le 16 septembre dans le cadre de la Biennale de la danse à Lyon, et le 17 septembre au Mamco à Genève.
The Novel That Writes Itself
The Novel That Writes Itself is a finished whole of a novel in progress, initiated in 1978 by the Conceptual artist Allen Ruppersberg.
It all begins with the end of a story, the one about the Colby Poster Printing Company that shut down in December 2012, taking with itself an emblematical graphic identity into history. A Colby poster can be easily distinguished from others and bear the stamp "from L.A.". Multicolored posters with unexpected gradients of flashy, typically Californian colors, the Colby posters, covered with outrageously bold characters, do not respect any typographical rules. Allen Ruppersberg was one of their most faithful and regular customers.
It begins also in 1978, when Allen Ruppersberg has an idea of a work in progress which he would call The Novel That Writes Itself, and which he would make in the shape of a fictionalized autobiography where he would talk of his adventures as a young artist, which he is at the time.
In parallel to this project, he starts to produce aphorisms or enigmatic questions printed on multicolored posters. These posters, the famous Colbys, start to show up at his exhibitions around the middle of the 1980s. He realizes in 1990 that in fact "the novel had written itself" without his knowing. By then, 50 posters had been produced. The Novel That Writes Itself is thus given substance to by Colby Posters through which he shows not only how the characters of his autobiography evolve but also an array of his projects.
The pages of The Novel That Writes Itself, a work whose essentially romanesque nature requires the shape of a book, break away one by one to be put on the walls of galleries or museums. This novel by Allen Ruppersberg takes, in its provisional form, the shape of a renewed installation, enriched with each new presentation. In the footsteps of El Lissitzky who declined the traditional structure of a book by turning its pages into posters, Allen Rupersberg takes a similar approach.
The Novel That Writes Itself finishes to write itself in 2013 with the closing of the Colby Company. Time has come, perhaps, to bring back the classic format of a novel. Allen Ruppersberg, however, has chosen to compensate the constraint of a book by giving it the independence of a poster. The binder holds together a number of separate pages who can keep their original poster-like nature.
Exhibition from September 12 to October 4, 2014, mfc-michèle didier, Paris.
Created entirely from found images, ALBUM collects the first ten issues of a zine by the same name begun by artists Eline Mugaas and Elise Storsveen in 2008. Comprised of full page photographic illustrations, advertisements, and other ubiquitous media images culled from etiquette manuals, cookbooks, travel magazines, craft books, fashion magazines, and sexual manuals, ALBUM reflects the popular imagery found in Scandinavian households from the 1960s through the 1980s.
The chosen imagery is then arranged across spreads, creating a sophisticated and humorous reading organized by a series of heavy themes such as the lonely man, femininity, architecture, family, outer space, and nature. While seemingly whimsical, ALBUM provides a sophisticated meta-narrative on the human body, sexuality, and the social lives of images that places the reader in an uncanny arena that showcases how our media likely reads us.
Launch, September 27, 8pm, with Eline Mugaas and Elise Storsveen, during NY Art Book Fair.
NY Art Book Fair 2014
September 26–28, 2014, Printed Matter presents the ninth annual NY Art Book Fair, at MoMA PS1, New York. Free and open to the public, the NY Art Book Fair is the world's premier event for artists' books, catalogs, monographs, periodicals, and zines. Last year, the fair featured nearly 300 booksellers, antiquarians, artists, institutions and independent publishers from twenty-six countries. NYABF14 is also full of programming and special events.
V. Vale & William S. Burroughs
V. Vale is an editor, writer-interviewer, historian, photographer and pianist. As publisher-editor of the 1977-79 zine SEARCH & DESTROY, V. Vale helped bring international attention to a Punk scene as prophetic as more publicized ones elsewhere. The publication was launched with $100 each from Allen Ginsberg, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and published at City Lights Bookstore, where Vale worked at the time. For Vale, Punk provided a launching pad for a host of cultural-anthropological explorations, including Industrial music, the writings of J.G. Ballard and William S. Burroughs, feminism, pranksterism, studies of The Body, plus "Incredibly Strange" filmmaking and music, which he has chronicled with the RE/SEARCH series of publications that he founded in 1980.
Now lauded as an invaluable document of early punk and a graphic design rule-breaker ("We'd do a layout meeting: 'Here's the text. Here are the pictures. Your job is to make this interview as rad as you can'"), Search and Destroy also became a way for Vale to make critical connections between the work and thoughts generated by punk groups and those formulated by artists in other media, as interviews with Vale's mentors Ballard and Burroughs made their way into the zine.
The RE/Search series had become the equivalent of an ever-unfolding countercultural bible: essential reading not only for Punks — all the books, Vale swears, are informed by that Revolution — but artists, musicians, cultural fire-starters, and trouble-makers of every nonconformist stripe. In turn, Vale built a bridge with his paperbacks between the cultural movers around him and the world of books that has succored him. "I learned long ago that reading is not a passive process," says Vale. "I like to mark up my books. My books are heavily interacted with. I look at books not as books, but as conversations."
From September 6 to 13, V. Vale will be doing a mini-lecture/workshop tour in Belgium and Holland. September 6, at Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp, Vale will unearth a rare complete set of Search & Destroy—the 11-issue punk zine about underground literary and music culture Vale produced from 1977 to 1979. Then, at 8pm, Vale will talk about how seed money from Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Allen Ginsberg led to Search & Destroy, how that led to RE/Search Magazine, and how all of it led to RE/Search Publications. More about the tour here.

Even as the low GDP (gross domestic product) and core infrastructure growth numbers came as a disappointment to the government, the fiscal deficit figure for 2012-13 was something to cheer about.
With larger than anticipated mop-up by way of taxes coupled with higher non-tax collection, the fiscal deficit for 2012-13 worked out lower at 4.89 per cent of the GDP, significantly below the revised estimate of 5.2 per cent.
While the government had budgeted for a revenue realisation of Rs. 10.38 lakh crore during 2012-13, the revised estimates had pegged the direct taxes mop-up at Rs. 5.65 lakh crore with another Rs. 4.69 lakh crore coming from indirect taxes. During the course of the fiscal year, while there was a marginal slippage in direct tax collection, the revenue mop-up through indirect tax mop- up ended up exceeding the revised estimates.
Alongside, with the total expenditure pegged at Rs. 14.30 lakh crore, the government's expenditure was consciously compressed through strict monitoring of spending by various departments. In the Budget, while the government had pegged the fiscal deficit at Rs 5.20 lakh crore or 5.2 per cent of GDP for 2012-13, the data released by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA) show the fiscal gap between expenditure and revenue at Rs 4.89 lakh crore, or 4.89 per cent of the GDP.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram attributed the decline in the fiscal gap to additional tax revenues and savings on expenditure. "Many of the ministries could not spend money given in Revised Estimate. Also, there was some additional tax revenue of about Rs. 7,000 crore. So it has come down to 4.9 per cent [in 2012-13]," he said.
In keeping with its commitment to adhere to the path of fiscal consolidation, Mr. Chidambaram, in the Budget for 2013-14, had proposed to lower the fiscal deficit to 4.8 per cent of GDP this fiscal and subsequently reduce it gradually to three per cent by 2016-17.
With the fiscal deficit target nearly achieved in the previous fiscal itself, the Finance Minister sought to set himself a higher benchmark. "I don't wish to compress expenditure. Therefore, revenues have to go up... For 2013-14, [we] have to do much better than 4.8 per cent," he said.
