George KembelGeorge is an entrepreneur and investor turned educator. He co-founded and now leads the d.school. Passionate about nurturing the creative potential of others, George spends his time working with students, teachers, leaders, and investors to unlock the latent innovative capacity of their teams and organizations. Under George's leadership, the d.school has grown from a few projects and a classroom of students to hundreds of projects, thousands of students, and a cutting edge 30,000 sq.ft. facility at the center of campus. George has scaled the d.school's impact even more dramatically. From a napkin manifesto to a widely recognized leader in innovation and education, the d.school has helped usher in a larger global design thinking movement. Schools and universities around the world are starting d.school-like programs, and the start-up companies and projects that have spun out of the d.school have already impacted millions of lives. George's experiences as CEO, venture capitalist, and now teacher have radically reshaped his approach to leadership. George focuses the d.school on innovators, not innovations. He prioritizes learning over expertise, experimentation over planning, and collaboration over individual excellence. His personal missions include: fundamentally transforming how we educate our children, how we lead our organizations, and how we tackle some of the most significant challenges of our time. George lives with his wife and three boys in Redwood City, California. He is curious about emergent systems, biologically inspired design, and environments that amplify and guide creative behavior.

Thread: The Pre-Raphaelites
July 15th, 2011 #31
'The Cult of Beauty' was certainly a super exhibition. Quite transporting, seeing such lush paintings and objects all together. One that was there from the Lever Gallery was Lawrence Alma-Tadema's Tepidarium. I'm surprised how tiny it was, (9x13 inches) scarcely bigger than an A4 page of paper.
Such amazing detail and texture in such a small space. Alma-Thadema also did furniture and jewellery designs, by the way, such as this weird chair which was also there:
And this bracelet:
How well the silk folds are done on this one, 'Mother and Child/Cherries' by Lord Leighton, also made me go 'ooh'.
Awesome how multi-talented many of these 19th century painters were. Leighton was also a decent sculptor. Some of his bronzes were also in the exhibition, including this:

Thanks Folks
In the dozen days after my post on the pre-Raphaelites, an entire thread of richly tapestried commentary came in. It came in from people at this site, some of whom clearly know much more about the pre-Raphaelites than I do. My post was originally generated by a retired teacher & lecturer who was and is trying to catch-up on many areas of the intellectual and cultural heritage of his European heritage and civilization. The film on that group of artists was just part of my catch-up.
The ABC1 series in the late afternoon, from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. from 19 June to 10 July 2011; and Desperate Romantics, a six-part drama, followed on BBC Two in July 2011---I deeply enjoyed partly because of my linkage of the content with history and philosophy, religion and politics in the period. I won't go into detail here for the story of art movements in a wider cultural and intellectual landscape is complex and too much for these little boxes. Belated thanks for your responses folks.-Ron

The writings of John Ruskin were fundamental to the movement and he was their champion as well as their mentor. He was a very gifted artist to boot.
Despite all the words that have been spilled on this subject, including those of Ruskin himself, the movement is essentially about nostalgia.
That is; nostalgia for a way of painting, a way of life, a moral code...
But ultimately it was nostalgia pure and simple, and one that was Victorian in its particulars yet 'English' in its generality.
Being English, I recognise the DNA inside these paintings making this nostalgia characteristic of this fair isle:
England is like a walled garden. A sea walled garden. Its climate that of a perpetual misty spring morning. The women daydreamed of are the lavender skinned nymphs who live in the ancient forest. Sunshine; a moment's fulfilment of the yearnings of rainy days. Our fields pock-marked with the standing stones of our ancestors.
The land of shires and wars elsewhere - its great nostalgic poet; Tolkien, writing The Lord of the Rings during a time when it might all have be taken away forever.

I have a great affection for the PRs (Frampton excepted), and The Nazarenes as well. I also greatly admire Hunt in particular, even though he did create one of the ugliest paintings of the 19th century (The Triumph of the Innocents).
The documentary linked in a previous post is fairly well done - though why modern film makers insist on not using period music is beyond me. A maddeningly lowbrow practice that alienates knowledgeable viewers without necessarily attracting the serious novice.

It has been more than 3 years since I posted my initial item on the pre-Raphaelites, and there has been a long and living thread that has resulted. I post a piece that is not about this artistic group, but about the Victorians. This will keep the topic at least in the general ball-park, so to speak and FYI, fellow ConceptArt.org folk.-Ron
Elizabeth Barrett Browning(1806-1861) was the most successful woman poet of the Victorian period. In 1840, when her brother Edward died, she became a recluse and spent nearly all her time in her room on the third floor of her fathers house. Here she wrote her famous book of poetry entitled Poems published in 1844. She was seriously considered as a successor to Wordsworth as Englands poet laureate when Wordsworth died in 1850. Another poet, Robert Browning, became attracted to her poetry, especially the poetry in Poems and in 1845 he became attracted to her. They were married in 1846.
That same year Emily Bronte put her Gondal poems, which she had been working on for some years, into a separate collection. The following prose-poem is an expression of my appreciation both Brontes and Brownings poetry and of what I see as a remarkable coincidence between the origins of their poetry and the origins of the Babi-Bahai Faiths in that year 1844, mirabile dictu. I also include some personal autobiographical comments. I have been interested in poetry for over half a century.
-Ron Price, Elizabeth Browning Internet Sites, Pioneering Over Four Epochs, April 2nd 2006.

I am, I am, I am and your
secret epistolary romance,
turned into a meeting--at last
and you found a husband to be,1
your poems made you famous,
the greatest female poet ever,

That same year Emily put her
Gondal saga poems into a book,
her imaginary world that came,
invaded, dominated & destroyed
her real one--became her real one
and she called it Wuthering Heights
and it told of a radiant, a mystical
oneness in the world of existence
with its misery, its insanity, its agony.
And so it was---tragic and mystical.
That same year signaled the start,
the opening of the most glorious
epoch in the greatest cycle which
the spiritual history of humankind
had yet witnessed: the most tragic,
the most spectacular, eventful in
the first century of the Bahai Era.

Give Kristin Chenoweth the Tony Award she deserves
The Tony Awards will be broadcast on CBS on June 7, and as is often the case in Broadway-loving circles, much of the talk this year is about the race for Best Actress in a Musical. We are blessed in 2015 with multiple strong contenders—perhaps the strongest field since 2004. But one nominee, despite her small physical stature, stands head and shoulders above the rest. That nominee is Kristin Chenoweth for On the Twentieth Century, and if she doesn't win, it will be a crime against musical theater. To me, Chenoweth is not just the right choice; she is the obviously right choice. This is a relevant distinction, because a lot of people seem to be overlooking the obvious. Conventional wisdom this season has held that the Best Actress race would come down to Chenoweth and Kelli O'Hara, for The King and I; lately, there has also been a surge of support for Chita Rivera, for The Visit. Both of those women are giving very good performances, but Chenoweth is giving a legendary one. Rivera, of course, is already an icon. Her turn in The Visit draws from that reputation; at 82, she has only to appear onstage, looking regal and sly, and the audience colors her in with nearly 60 years of Broadway history. But she doesn't have all that much else to do in The Visit, an evocative but slender musical parable, and Best Actress should not be an award for lifetime achievement. (I would be happy to see Rivera get one of those; she could put it next to her other two Tonys, and her medal from theRead more

There's a lot to explore and discover in three days, which is why we're highlighting five of the coolest events you're going to want to attend. View all of the activities here.

Top five phrases feared by New Yorkers
We may be snobby about living in the greatest city on Earth, but that doesn't mean we New Yorkers don't still end up crying waiting for the G train. Nothing turns the city of dreams into a waking nightmare faster than some simple phrases. No matter how much you cover your ears, somehow these words will find you and ruin your day. 1. "What time is it? Show Time!"Some of these breakdancing kids are super talented—we sure can't jump around on one hand to music or, for that matter, talk in unison for more than two words. We'll cheer them on at the park or on an empty subway car any day, but on a stuffed A train if one of them swirls around the pole and lands their foot in your mouth? Hell. No. 2. "Do you have a moment to talk about the environment/women's reproductive rights/animals/your hair?"Not today, clip board person! Sure, you're just doing your job—convincing people to give money to good causes or to buy salon services—but you're standing in the way of our bottomless mimosa brunch and forgetting the world's problems. 3. "Due to a sick passenger, trains are running with delays"If you hear this during your AM commute you might as well go home and tell your boss you won't be making it in till early afternoon. Again. Also, according to this Business Insider article, "sick" is usually code for "dead." Good Morning, New York! 4. "Located in Times Square"There is nothing worse than when something you want to go, or have to go, to is the single place you wish to avoid at alRead more
Jessica Lange is returning to Broadway next year in "Long Day's Journey Into Night"
The award winning actress—two Oscars, three Emmys, and a certified crap ton of others—is set to star in a Ryan Murphy produced revival of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night". While it's been 10 years since the 2005 production of "The Glass Menagerie" where the fierce Thesbian goddess last graced the Great White Way, she's stayed in the public's eye—and nightmares—with Murphy's "American Horror Story." There's no doubt in our minds that Lange will deliver brilliant levels of intensity to the morphine-addicted matriarch of O'Neill's iconic, especially considering she's done the play before. In fact, she won a prestigious Oliver award for playing the same part in a London West End Production back in 2000. According to a very candid (read: drunk) interview actor Brian Dennehy did with Time Out Chicago, the actress was also supposed to be in the 2003 Broadway production, but the deal fell through and Vanessa Redgrave took the stage instead. In said conversation Dennehy also called Lange a "bitch, bitch, bitch," by which, we presume, he meant "bad-ass bitch." The play will also star Irish actor Gabriel Byrne at the Roundabout Theater, which will be in its 50th anniversary season. The production is slated to go into previews in March 2016.Read more

In this week's Time Out New York, we've got your perfect NYC staycation planned!
Summer's here (weeeee!), which means you're itching to get out of town—or actually, maybe you're itching to stay right here! New York City during summertime is a magical place (even when it's humid as hell)—it's somehow quieter, more manageable, and jam-packed with so many freakin' awesome things to do that it's almost overwhelming. That's why we've put together a slew of trips that don't require a passport, a plane ticket or any advance planning whatsoever. (They also don't necessitate spending big bucks.) Whether you've been dying to skip off to Miami, China or the land Down Under, we've got your relaxing, culture-filled, oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-this-exists-in-New-York trips of your dreams. This week we've also got interviews with Kanye protege Hudson Mohawke—who hits town this week—and writer/actor/New Yorker Jesse Eisenberg, whose play The Spoils is currently in previews. And you can step into Frida Kahlo's world with a pictorial of her immersive new exhibit at the Botanical Garden, find the best places to eat and drink outdoors starting right now and choose your own adventure during OutdoorFest, which features 10 days of action-packed fun for all, from camping out to hanging ten. Find all that and much more (World Science Festival, legendary shoegaze band Ride, The Tempest at Shakespeare in the Park...shall we go on?) in this week's issue.

New York restaurants fare well so far on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list
The back half of the World's 50 Best Restaurants list was revealed today—technically #51–100, which kind of defeats the point of a 50 Best list, but hey, we won't gripe—and Empire State eateries made an impressive showing. Included in the New York honorees are Ignacio Mattos's imaginative Nolita dining room Estela, clocking in at no. 90; David Chang chef's table Momofuku Ko in the 69th slot; and, two spots above it, Daniel Humm and Will Guidara's hotel stunner, the NoMad. And in a bit of a food-world shock, Daniel Boulud's fine-dining flagship Daniel fell from last year's no. 40 to no. 80. The top fifty will be announced next week and will likely include such safe bets as Le Bernardin, Per Se and regular top-fiver Eleven Madison Park. Estela may have nabbed the high-profile newcomer spot on the list, but we wouldn't be all that surprised if an acclaimed newbie like Bâtard snuck its way in there, too.Read more
See Broadway's biggest stars light up Shubert Alley for free
If you think summer outdoor theater is limited to Shakespeare in the Park or other classics alfresco, you haven't been to Stars in the Alley. Call it Woodstock for Broadway geeks (only with less mud and lasting only two hours): Each summer right around Tony time, the Broadway League puts on a free outdoor concert in Shubert Alley to promote various shows running on the Great White Way, many of them vying for a Tony Award. This year Stars in the Alley is presented by United Airlines and hosted by Darren Criss, currently starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The concert takes place tomorrow from 10:30am to 12:30pm in Shubert Alley—between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, and 44th and 45th Streets. It's free, but get there early to get a spot near the stage. And who will be performing on said stage?Here's the lineup of shows: Expect appearances from Brandy (Chicago), Vanessa Hudgens (Gigi), T.R. Knight (It's Only A Play), Tony Yazbeck (On the Town), Julie White and K. Todd Freeman (Airline Highway), Alex Sharp (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Ben Miles, Lydia Leonard and Nathaniel Parker (Wolf Hall Parts One & Two), Sydney Lucas (Fun Home), Christian Borle (Something Rotten!), Andy Karl (On the Twentieth Century), Micah Stock (It's Only A Play) as well as performances from Tony-nominated musicals Fun Home, On the Town, On the Twentieth Century, Something Rotten! and The Visit.Read more

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
So if you are correct that the water entered thru the hatches over the forward berth and the salon I would tend to believe that water settled out on the sole and then worked its way into the bilges and was pumped out if the bilge pump(s) were active.
I have recently sprayed a lot of water into the boat while cleaning areas of teak prior to its first coat of varnish. It collects on the sole but ultimately finds its way into the bilge. So its quite possible that the only damage is what you have seen.
The interior of the Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37s are built on an internal liner, the settees and cabinets are all fiberglass so a sole replacement is actually quite straightforward when compared to many boats.

The U.S. Coast Guard today announced a new slow-speed zone to ensure the safety of boaters in and out of Convoy Point and Black Point Marina during the Columbus Day weekend celebrations.
"Historically, we have had a slow-speed zone in the area, but it's been centered mostly in the northern part of the Biscayne Bay," said Lt. Mike Cortese, Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Station Miami Beach. "We have extended it south all the way to Black Point [Marina] to help cover the high-traffic areas between the Elliot Key and the marinas where boaters often launch out of."
Last week, the Miami Herald shuttered its building on the bay.
Located at One Herald Plaza, the beige box on the water is affectionately known as 1HP. Conference room meetings were interrupted by someone spotting dolphins. Water spouts could be seen forming from the cafeteria windows. Depending on the person, the building was either a testament to architecture done without aesthetics in mind, or an ideal place to do journalism.
As part of The Canoe Project's mission to shed some light on Miami's forgotten waterways, I spoke to Pamela Sweeney, a bona fide expert on Miami's canal system and the Biscayne Bay. Sweeney is the Manager of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve.
If you've spent time at South Pointe Park in Miami Beach, you might have noticed the steady stream of cruise and cargo ships going in and out of Port Miami. These hulking ships are one of the signature images of South Florida.
All of these ships are driven in and out of the port by a highly trained group of sea captains, also known as harbor pilots. Harbor pilots know the waters around the port well–they have to be able to draw a map from memory as part of their qualifications.
Fifty years ago, developers dreamed of turning a collection of isolated islands in the middle of Biscayne Bay into a resort destination. This year, the dream of Islandia quietly died. The Miami-Dade County Commission stripped Islandia's status as a city. In essence, they voted Islandia out of existence.
The city of Islandia is on Elliot Key. It was never populated by more than a hundred people. Now the only people who live in Islandia are park rangers.
Inspired by the peerless film Sahara (starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz), listener Michael Laas wondered about the treasure hunting possibilities in Biscayne Bay. He submitted his question to us.
There are forty known shipwrecks in Biscayne Bay and hundreds more in the Keys. Under the Sun producer, Sammy Mack, found out more about what lies beneath these attractive, but dangerous waters.
