Trumpet & Stops – Music for Solo Trumpet – Edward Sandor
Trumpet & Stops – Music for Solo Trumpet – Edward Sandor
The rich and varied literature for trumpet solo with organ grew significantly in the 20th Century, yet most commercially available recordings of the idiom focus on baroque literature. The timbres and textures possible with modern instruments far exceed the expressive palette found in baroque compositions for trumpet and organ, and in addition, greater dynamic flexibility inherent in modern organs provides improved options for expression over earlier instruments. The modern trumpet now matches the colorful grandeur and technical flexibility of the organ. Trumpet & Stops explores selected modern literature for solo trumpet and organ and presents music by composers with wide-ranging compositional influences who utilize the full spectrum of p

Szimi Style birding
Shorebirds, bird conservation, travelling for birds and bird photography and recently a blogger… these are the keywords which could describe me and my birding interest. I thought I share a few details about me before starting to post regularly to birdingblogs.com.
I live in Hungary, in a small town, called Tata, which has outstanding birding nearby. Birding is the only constant activity in my life for 30 years now out of my 43 years of existence.
I had the privilege to work for the Monitoring Centre of BirdLife Hungary for a few years and this was an important milestone in my birding timeline. These days I have returned to bird monitoring by running an important project on mapping breeding and migrating shorebirds.
Those who know me well call me the "shorebird man". I am addicted to shorebirds. My running book project is about waders – a massive task, but which I enjoy every part of.
Many great birders are becoming bird photographers by time utilising their knowledge on birds. I also love to photograph birds and have some decent results, although I am not in a contest hunter for great and prestigious awards. I also keep supporting bird conservation by doing field work and by setting up new projects to protect them also in the future.
Future posts of mine will be about the birds, birding, conservation, hot spots, techniques and activities supporting better birding. I'm happy to share with you lots of interesting stuff the coming weeks.

Globex and Queenston Intersect Wide Gold Zone at Wood-Pandora: 3.81 g/t Au Over 41 Meters
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Globex and Queenston Intersect Wide Gold Zone at Wood-Pandora: 3.81 g/t Au Over 41 Meters10:36 EST Tuesday, December 18, 2012ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Dec. 18, 2012) -GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (TSX:GMX)(FRANKFURT:G1M)(OTCQX:GLBXF) and QUEENSTON MINING INC. (TSX:QMI)(FRANKFURT:QMI)(OTCQX:QNMNF) are pleased to update shareholders on the results of a nine hole 5,601 meter ("m") drill program completed on the 50%-50% Wood Pandora joint venture property, located near Cadillac, Quebec. The drilling program completed between July 11 and November 11, 2012 was planned to follow up in part on encouraging results reported last year including a high grade in hole W11-92 assaying 28.86 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.9 m within the Cadillac Break at approximately 350 m below surface (see news Release dated October 11, 2011).Table of significant drill resultsHole #From (m)To (m)Length (m)Gold (g/t)CommentW12-93518.7531.012.31.35North Break547.5549.52.07.99Cadillac Group564.4566.42.07.14Cadillac Group579.0580.01.013.87Cadillac GroupW12-9564.567.53.03.33Pontiac Group505.0506.31.311.73Cadillac GroupW12-9696.418.104.22.168Pontiac Group652.4622.214.171.124Cadillac Groupincluding652.4652.90.519.77Cadillac Groupand661.5662.10.628.26Cadillac GroupW12-97541.0542.01.022.08Cadillac GroupW12-98166.9168.01.14.45Piche Group218.0188.8.131.52North Break283.2284.31.13.02Cadillac Group295.5296.51.03.87Cadillac GroupW12-99B478.06519.1041.03.81Cadillac Groupincluding478.06488.5510.93.84Cadillac Groupand510.05220.127.116.11Cadillac Groupincluding510.05126.96.36.199Cadillac Group554.86561.06.12.08Cadillac GroupW12-100472.6476.03.416.41Cadillac Group581.05220.127.116.11North BreakNote:True width has not been determined. Drill hole W12-94 intersected low gold values. Drill hole W12-99 was abandoned before reaching target.The Wood-Pandora property straddles the gold localizing Cadillac Break and is near the LaRonde and Lapa Mines operated by Agnico-Eagle Mines Inc. On the JV property there are historic inferred mineral resources of 1.43 million tonnes ("t") grading 5.3 g/t Au in two deposits Wood and Central Cadillac. These historic resources were calculated prior to NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon as they have not been verified by a Qualified Person under the Instrument. In 2008, the JV announced a NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource on a new gold discovery, the Ironwood Zone, amounting to 243,200 t grading 17.3 g/t Au. The mineral resource formed part of a technical report completed by Consulting Geologist and QP, Reno Pressacco, P. Geo.Gold mineralization occurs across the full width of the Cadillac Break with the greatest concentrations both within the break and in the adjacent Cadillac sediments to the north. The mineralization consists of free gold in quartz with associated gold-bearing arsenopyrite and other sulphides commonly controlled by near-vertical shear structures and subsidiary horizontal tension fractures. The drilling was targeting the Cadillac Break beneath the No. 3 Shaft Zone that historically produced from 1939-42 approximately 13,000 oz. of gold from 85,745 t grading 4.7 g/t Au. In 1979 Camflo Mines commenced surface drilling and defined a drill indicated historic resource to a depth of 200 m at the No. 3 Shaft Zone. The most significant result in the present program is in hole W12-99B which intersected a 41.0 m interval assaying 3.81 g/t Au that includes 32.25 g/t Au over 4.2 m in the Cadillac Group at approximately 450 m below surface. Other key intersections include 16.41 g/t Au over 3.4 m in hole W12-100, 11.73 g/t Au over 1.3.m in hole W12-95, 22.08 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole W12-97 and 2.81 g/t au over 9.7 m in W12-96. To date only a small number of widely spaced holes have been drilled below a depth of 300 m and over a limited strike length. Properties to the east and west have intersected economic mineralization to depths of 1500 m.The joint venture partners view the drill results as positive and further drilling is warranted towards outlining a significant mineral resource below the No. 3 Shaft Zone along the Cadillac Break.The Wood-Pandora drilling program was planned and supervised by Globex's Exploration Manager and qualified persons Richard Cote, ing., Ray V. Zalnieriunas, P. Geo. and Michele Belanger, ing employing a QA/QC program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. The drill core was logged and split with half-core samples analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying techniques by Expert Laboratory Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.This news release was written by Jack Stoch, P. Geo. President and CEO of Globex in his capacity as a Qualified Person and operator of the Wood-Pandora joint venture and Charles Page, P.Geo. President and CEO of Queenston in his capacity as a Qualified Person.Forward Looking StatementsExcept for historical information this News Release may contain certain "forward looking statements".

Tejada may be target to replace Eckstein
There is a question, however, about Tejada's range at short.
Lowrie, 26, is in his second season as a utility infielder with the Red Sox. He has a career average of .235 with four homers and 57 RBI in 113 games, although he is hitting just .147 in 68 at-bats this season.
Venable returns
To replace Eckstein on the 25-man roster, the Padres flew in outfielder Will Venable from Double-A San Antonio, where he had been rehabbing a back injury, and activated him from the disabled list.
Black said Oscar Salazar would be the Padres' infield back up for the time being.
Odds and ends
• The Padres will be back on television in Mexico starting Saturday for a select number of games this season and a wider schedule in 2011. The Padres have reached an agreement with Tijuana's new Channel 47 and the Cablemas cable network.
• Speaking of television, the Padres will not be on television Thursday morning (from Atlanta) or Friday night (out of Pittsburgh). The latter will mark the last time this season that a game starting after 4 p.m. in San Diego will not be on 4 San Diego.
• Right-handed reliever Mike Adams threw on the side and said his strained right oblique didn't bother him. Mat Latos threw a regularly scheduled bullpen and is fine to start Saturday night in Pittsburgh.
•Double-A shortstop Drew Cumberland, 21, will miss six to eight weeks with a deep laceration of his left knee suffered Thursday when he slid into a cement wall trying to make a catch. Cumberland was hitting .350 between Single-A Lake Elsinore and San Antonio.

- Congressional committees are launching wider investigations into Secret Service activities in Colombia involving prostitutes. The Senate Homeland Security Committee wants to determine whether the incident was an exception, or part of a pattern of misconduct. The House Homeland Security Committee sent Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan a list of 50 questions. Members wanted a comprehensive, minute-by-minute timeline of the event. A Defense spokesman said 11 members of the military are under investigation for misconduct. The alleged partying took place just before President Obama's arrival in Colombia last week. (Federal News Radio)
- Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) is upping the pressure to force the Federal Trade Commission out of its headquarters. GovExec reported that Mica has been talking to Dan Tangherlini, the acting administrator of the GSA. Mostly they're talking about the alleged GSA spending scandal. But Mica also raised the FTC issue. Mica wants FTC moved to a privately-owned building in southwest D.C. so the National Gallery of Art can move into the FTC building. As the federal landlord, GSA is tasked with making a floorplan for the FTC's possible new headquarters. (GovExec)
- The National Park Service has released a long-term strategy to develop the Star-Spangled Banner trail that runs through Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. The agency is asking for public comment on a couple of options, although it makes its preference clear. The Park Service wants to offer local authorities technical and financial help on a cost-sharing basis through cultural and natural resources, recreation and conservation programs. The 560-mile trail follows the path that British and American soldiers took during the War of 1812. (NPS)
- The General Services Administration spending scandal is leading to questions about whether agencies are suppressing whistleblowers. One nonprofit is demanding answers from the Office of Management and Budget. The Washington Post reported that Cause of Action asked OMB to conduct a governmentwide audit to make sure agencies were complying with federal ethics and whistleblower laws. The GSA inspector general who investigated the agency's lavish Las Vegas conference spending said the regional administrator at the heart of the scandal did not tolerate dissent from employees. IG Brian Miller said Jeff Neely intimidated those who raised questions about the spending. (The Washington Post)
- Fifty-six soldiers in Afghanistan have been investigated on suspicion of using or distributing heroin, morphine or other opiates during 2010 and 2011 new information showed. During that time, eight soldiers died of drug overdoses. The country supplies up to 90 percent of the world's opium. The Army said opiate abuse has not been a pervasive problem for troops in Afghanistan. "We have seen sporadic cases of it, but we do not see it as a widespread problem, and we have the means to check," said Col. Tom Collins, an Army spokesman. Army officials said they do random drug testing through the service and the goal was that every soldier was tested at least once a year. Top Army leaders said they have not met that goal, but have been working steadily to substantially increase the number of those tested each year. (Federal News Radio)
- Federal food inspectors upset over a plan to speed up poultry inspections are gathering support from all corners. The American Federation of Government Employees delivered nearly 150,000 petitions to the Agriculture Department. With criticism mounting, USDA said it would let the public comment on the proposal for one more month. The agency already has received nearly 600 comments, according to AFGE. The proposal would allow some poultry companies to inspect their own chickens. USDA said the move would allow its staff to focus on dangerous, but hard-to-detect, diseases like salmonella. (AFGE)

More People Play Tennis than Golf?

Golfers seem to have more fun golfing. I play golf about a dozen times a year and it is much more relaxing and much easier to find golf partners. In golf you can just show up and join in with a group of golfers. Try doing that in tennis or better yet try setting up a match with a new tennis partner-good luck. I love tennis, but it is more of an elitist sport than golf, which is surprising!! If you walk the golf course, it's not bad exercise, either.
I am not going to argue with golfers having more fun, if you define "fun" as enjoying the sunshine, the chirp of the birds, the pretty view of the lake, the anticipation of a cold beer at the clubhouse, the joy of closing the deal with your work buddy. But if you are talking the "fun" of sports competition and beating down on the other guy, it's no competition, tennis is vastly superior to golf in that sense.

Dakar 2015 news
The months ranging from one edition of the Dakar to the next game are much. In this period of nearly a year should determine the route of the next edition, the countries that will be involved in the test in future years and start working in different organisational aspects so that everything works to perfection. However, the Dakar Rally has not started too well the period between 2013 and 2014 editions and even though we have the full stroke of the next edition in the absence of determine the exact route, Chile has not given good news.
As I discussed, archaeologists Association, Chile has put many drawbacks to the stages of the Dakar that pass through soil in this country and it seems that unfortunately they were not the only ones. While the 2014 Edition is already defined and will pass by Argentina, Chile and Bolivia, seems that you ASO has received the refusal by Ecuador to host the 2015 Edition. It seems that the Government of Ecuador after receiving a formal proposal by the organizers of the Dakar through the ministries of tourism, sport and heritage coordination has rejected this proposal.
The reasons put forward by the experts of these ministries who have studied the proposal have been very similar to which have resulted in the school of archaeologists from Chile to file a complaint against the Dakar. In fact, a time more the school of archaeologists, in this case from Ecuador, has had much to say about the refusal of this proposal, which also has not convinced leaders of Ecuador to take into account the environmental and visual impact that could have the celebration of this test of large dimensions in their lands.
2014 already on the horizon
While the future of the future editions of the Dakar is defined with Brazil playing in order to test giving a touch more exotic and jungle and leaving behind a more deserted part, the truth is that the only thing that is clear is the Dakar 2014 Edition as mentioned will pass by Argentina, Chile and Bolivia has already begun its enrollment period and future competitors who want to can start forming the lists of the the world hardest RAID.

An invoice for £1638.70 for between September 7 and 9, 2007, was found in papers seized by police from Gordon Beurskens. The total - covering accommodation, dinner, bar bills and toiletries - included an £800 "gratuity", a jury at Livingston Sheriff Court was told.
Mr Beurskens, 51, pleads not guilty to two charges of embezzling nearly £80,000 from pensioners James and Janet McQue, between 2006 and 2009.
The offences are alleged to have been committed at addresses in West Lothian - including at his office in West Lothian Council headquarters in Livingston. The trial continues.

A magnificent Georgian mansion and tranquil garden lie at the heart of this historic parkland.
Saltram overlooks the River Plym and is set in a rolling landscape park that provides precious green space on the outskirts of Plymouth. Strolling along the riverside or through the woodland, you can almost forget that the city lies so close.
Saltram was home to the Parker family from 1743, when an earlier mansion was remodelled to reflect the family's increasingly prominent position. It's magnificently decorated, with original contents including Chinese wallpapers and an exceptional collection of paintings (several by Sir Joshua Reynolds). It also has a superb country house library and Robert Adam's Neo-classical Saloon.
Learn about some of the fascinating characters and family stories, including the correspondence between Frances, the first Countess, and Jane Austen.
The garden is mostly 19th century, with a working 18th-century orangery and follies, beautiful shrubberies and imposing specimen trees providing year-round interest.
Spring at Saltram
Enjoy the longer, sunnier days at Saltram this Spring with events and activities for all ages.

The 5th Earl's Photographs exhibition is running until the end of June in the house and show's 'Monty's' much loved collection from his worldly and local travels.
The Chapel Tearoom and Park Cafe are both open daily with outdoor seating in beautiful surroundings; the perfect spot for a quick cuppa or afternoon tea.

Remember the battle of the Davids? You don't have to admit it to us, but with seven seasons spent dominating the Nielsen ratings and pretty much obliterating any other show that dare air during Tuesday or Wednesday prime time, somebody has to be watching American Idol. It's OK, we won't tell. In fact, you may just have something there. Take away the cheesy arrangements, über-cheeriness, tired judge banter and Ryan Seacrest, and you've got some seriously (and some mildly) talented singers. This year's top 10 finalists, including that blond girl, the dude with the dreads and Davids Cook and Archuleta, are going on their contractual tour just for you. American Idols Live hits the American Airlines Center on Monday. Tickets are available now at 214-373-8000 or ticketmaster.com. Randy, Paula and Simon not included. But you knew that.

We're into year two of trying. When I was young and naive I'd say I was pregnant. I've never gotten to day 18 without a period, my luteal phase is always 14 days. Always.
BUT I have no symptoms. I've never gotten to day 18, not be pregnant and have no symptoms. When I get pregnant symptoms hit between day 9 and 11. Like clockwork. So far, nothing. I broke out around day 13 and figured, yep, here comes the period. But no. Temps are high. Face has cleared up.
This is very weird.
I will be calling my RE tomorrow morning but for now....Any ideas?

I really hope this is it this time. 2 years...that's long, you certainly deserve the +
Now I just have to drive all the way there - 90 minutes with a toddler!
Oh and now we're at 19dpo, high temp, another negative test.:
At any rate, hopefully today ought to set your mind at ease.

If it helps any, I did not get a +HPT until quite late with my son - I was nearly seven weeks pregnant before I stopped getting BFNs. Sometimes it does just take a while to turn.
good luck, i hope you go the other way than i did. sometimes, it just takes longer for HcG to rise, dont put too much thought into it, you wont have symptoms, if you dont have the hormones, KWIM?
keeping fingers crossed!
I am having the same issues!!!! Sooo frustrating, and confusing. I hope you get your positive soon
I'm still sorta in the same boat.. but no idea when I ovulated. I went off birth control about a month ago (mid November) and would have normally gotten my period at the end of the month. My husband and I started ttc when I stopped the pill, though, and now I've been having lots of preg symptoms but no period since the one I had in Oct while still on the pill. A few FRER have shown me faint positives, but randomly. And negatives in between those tests.. So all in all I have no idea what's going on. Makes me wish I'd been tracking my bbt.
What is the likely hood of still being pregnant at this point? Assuming I still was supposed to get my period on time after stopping the pill, I'd be about 2 weeks late at this point. But who knows. Arg.

"By deterring mosquito tasting on human skin, we can help to stop the transmission of devastating diseases such as malaria," said Breslin. "The Grand Challenges Explorations grant will enable us to find out what it is about humans that mosquitoes find tasty. With that critical piece of information, we can then develop inhibitors to those substances. Once humans no longer taste good to mosquitoes, they will no longer use us as food."
"The winners of these grants are doing truly exciting and innovative work," said Dr. Tachi Yamada, president of the Gates Foundation's Global Health Program. "I'm optimistic that some of these exploratory projects will lead to life-saving breakthroughs for people in the world's poorest countries."

Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
The light of the West Texas sky streams through big plate-glass windows and illuminates Jason Willaford and his wife, Rea, sipping freshly ground coffee in the Marfa Book Co. The slim and attractive couple, who met in Los Angeles, moved to Marfa last summer to open Galleri Urbane, a boutique specializing, like so much of the town, in contemporary art. So far, their experience has been wonderful. "Marfa's a lot more sophisticated than most places," Willaford says. "When someone here sets out to do something, they do it nice. That's why people like it here — no Wal-Marts."
When Tony Trento imagines Marfa, his voice, thickly upholstered with his native Long Island, N.Y., accent, grows excited. "Marfa needs more retail stores and affordable houses," says the developer, who owns the American Plume and Fancy Feather Co., based in Marfa, which crafts boas and masks from turkey feathers and sells them to exotic dancers and Las Vegas showgirls. "There could be a truck stop, a McDonald's, or maybe," he says, contemplating something truly special, "a Wal-Mart."
A classic Western showdown has come to the hottest little town in the country. Set amid the cedar-shaded, yucca-dotted lands of West Texas, surrounded by grasslands as wide as the Serengeti, Marfa may be the last un-Starbucked place in America. In the past few years, a covey of A-list artists, corporate players and real estate speculators have descended on the tiny town (pop. 2,121). Enchanted by its spare beauty — think "The Last Picture Show" with a Christian Liagre makeover — they're also drawn by elite cultural institutions like the Chinati Foundation, dedicated to hip installation art, and the Lannan Foundation, a prestigious literary organization.
Trailing in the trendsetters' wake has been the national media. Marfa's press clips glow like newly lit luminaria. Publications such as Vanity Fair, Elle and ArtForum venerate Marfa's Victorian ranch houses and Texas Territorial adobes, the burgeoning art scene and its rich patrons. The movie "Giant" was filmed in Marfa 50 years ago, when its stars James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson could be seen kicking around town. These days, the scene makers include Dan Rather, Frances McDormand, Dwight Yoakam and Tommy Lee Jones. A National Public Radio station is coming. The real estate madness already has. Four years ago, Marfa adobes were selling for $40,000. They're now $200,000 and no doubt a good deal higher after the recent New York Times story, "The Great Marfa Land Boom."
It's a familiar pattern. Western havens like Aspen, Colo., Taos, N.M., and Missoula, Mont., were Marfas once, playgrounds for coast-hugging hipsters who could slip into jeans and the rustic camaraderie of the outback. But those towns are full up now, victims of their popularity. Now the sagebrush Medici come to Texas, piloting the corporate Gulfstream into tiny Marfa Municipal airport and bellying up to the jes-folks atmosphere of Joe's Bar, where the Bud Light costs $1.75. The town remains an aesthete's dream, devoid of Olive Gardens, Best Buys and any sign of the suburban middle class. Rather, Marfa is the honest texture of adobe and fine art set against a big sky. It's the simplicity of line and the haunting emptiness of the land.
But this isn't what Marfa means to everybody in Presidio County. Most residents don't own much in this southwest corner of George Bush's Ownership Society. The county is 84 percent Mexican-American; 36 percent of its residents live below the poverty line (the U.S. average is 12 percent). Marfa itself is 70 percent Hispanic.
Today, on Marfa's main street, tony art galleries and wine shops are driving away traditional cafes and shops, whose local owners can't afford the new sky-high rents. Everywhere you go the townsfolk, independent Texans to the core, lament the changes to their community. The term "ChiNazi" is used locally to describe anyone from out of town who arrives with artistic ambitions and a superior attitude. Observes one local cattle rancher, who asked to remain anonymous: "We're filling up with triple A's — artists, assholes and attorneys."
Some of the new businesses hire people who were born and bred in Marfa, and that helps the local economy. At the same time, the cost of living is rising above their means, and they welcome Trento's plan for big-box retail and ranchettes. To them, a steady job and an affordable home near extended families are more enticing than living in little Bauhaus on the prairie.
The ever-widening chasm between social classes in America has reached West Texas, with acrimony erupting all around. Trento's plan threatens Marfa's art community, spearheaded by the Chinati Foundation, which is determined to prevent the ambitious developer from besmirching its views. The tussle between subdivisions and sightlines stirs up questions to make the culturati squirm in their Eameses. Are the aesthetic desires of an elite more important than the economic needs of the majority? Will Marfa be a town where working-class residents can thrive or will it become Marfa's Vineyard, a weekend sandbox for people whose tastes veer more toward pinot noir than Dairy Queen? Are big-box retail jobs less desirable than "All Things Considered"? Should you sell a Frenchman your adobe? What price arugula? Marfa is about to find out.
Marfa has always entertained great notions. Founded in 1883, it was named by an engineer's wife after a servant in "The Brothers Karamazov." She read the Dostoevski novel while waiting for her husband to finish working on the Southern Pacific railroad. Soon enough, the town grew rich on ranching. In the 1930s and '40s, cattle barons attended elaborate balls and afternoon teas at the Hotel Paisano, an ornate, stuccoed affair that still stands and looks like a bit of Old Seville marooned west of the Pecos.
After World War II, Marfa was in trouble, its robust population having dwindled with the shuttering of its military bases. In 1971, the isolated town was just the place that hard-living Manhattan sculptor Donald Judd was looking for. He wanted a big backyard for his large works and here it was. A fractious and ornery character, Judd cottoned immediately to Marfa's seclusion and affordability. With help from the Dia Foundation, a New York-based cultural organization founded by German art dealer Heiner Friedrich and his wife, Houston oil heiress Philippa de Menil, Judd began acquiring Marfa real estate for his installations. After a falling-out in 1986, the partners reached an out-of-court settlement that created the Chinati Foundation. Judd oversaw the foundation until he died of lymphoma in 1994.
Minimalism wowed the contemporary art scene in the '70s, and because Judd was a giant in the movement, he drew disciples from all over the globe to West Texas. As minimalism increased in popularity, so did Judd's mecca. Many of the pilgrims today evoke religious metaphors for the stark beauty of his work and its setting in wild Texas. A bumper sticker seen around Marfa sports the acronym "WWDJD?" (What Would Donald Judd Do?)
Visit Chinati and you can see why Trento's planned subdivision is as welcome as a belch during a church service. Located in the low-slung barracks and Quonset huts of the former Fort Russell, the foundation and its spare, wind-swept grounds seem more monastery than museum. Buildings on Trento's property, just south of the foundation, would obstruct the sightlines.
Today, articulate docents lead art lovers on a four-hour tour of installations created specifically for the site by world-famous artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Dan Flavin and Ilya Kabakov. The foundation's prized pieces are 100 milled aluminum cubes and giant concrete rectangles made by Judd. These are dusted regularly by the resident interns, usually MFA candidates from Ivy League universities.
Chinati public affairs coordinator Nick Terry credits Chinati with Marfa's renaissance. "Over the past 10 years, the Chinati Foundation has revitalized Marfa, has activated the economy and the town's cultural life through manifold new initiatives," he says. "It has attracted new residents who contribute to the well-being of the region."
The foundation does try to be a good neighbor. In 2000, it lent the city storage space when Marfa was renovating its Victorian-era courthouse. Each year, Chinati waives its $10 entrance fee and invites the townspeople to its grounds to view works such as Tony Feher's piece of basalt atop a plastic Tupperware-like container, 75 of which were given to Chinati donors.
In January this year, according to Jack Strain, who oversees American Plume and Fancy Feather Co., Chinati director Marianne Stockebrand "asked in an offhand manner if we were interested in selling to Chinati because they are very much against development south of their property." Strain named a price, which he won't reveal, but Stockebrand didn't bite. "I never did think they were serious about making an offer that would reflect the value," he says. "He was asking a very high price that we couldn't afford," is all Terry will say.
Following the January meeting, Stockebrand embarked on a campaign to stop American Plume from developing its property. On March 7, she wrote a letter to Marfa's then mayor, Oscar Martinez, and Presidio County Judge Jerry Agan, expressing her concern about American Plume's plans and their impact on Chinati's views. Trento's development "will greatly impact Chinati in its unencumbered vistas of 30 or more miles, its contemplative setting, and its natural wildlife," she charged. To save the views, she raised some very high brows indeed, enlisting blue-chip museum directors and artist Oldenburg in a letter-writing campaign to force Marfa politicians to pluck American Plume's plans before they sprout.
Martinez was unmoved, stating his first concerns were for the year-round residents and their needs. "Perhaps the near future will bring us a pharmacy, a dental clinic, dry cleaning and laundry services," he responded in a letter to Michael Govan, director of the Dia Foundation, which supported Chinati. Judge Agan was also unmoved. "The letter they wrote us said they are all for the little people," he says. "Just not in their backyard."
Escaped feathers dance across the land surrounding the American Plume and Fancy Feather building. The company arrived in Marfa 13 years ago, when Trento, who currently runs the 83-year-old family business from Pennsylvania, discovered that Marfa's arid climate made it a perfect place to dry turkey feathers.
Times are both good and bad for the company. Despite an uptick in business following a 9/11 slump, explains Strain, Trento's son-in-law, American Plume is feeling the heat from Chinese competition. But thanks to Chinati's helping popularize Marfa as a destination, the land beneath the factory has appreciated in value, an irony the art foundation probably doesn't appreciate. In response to rising land prices, Strain and Trento plan to develop the property to boost their bottom line. On the drafting board are plans to subsidize the land into retail stores, 10-acre ranchettes, and a U.S. Border Patrol station.
Trento promises to build up to 20 affordable homes, priced from $40,000 to $60,000 — far cheaper than the antique adobes in town. "The artists and the Chinati people have driven up the costs, scaring the town's residents," he says. "I want to make it so the kids that grew up in town and want to stay in Marfa have got a place to go. Marfa doesn't have much except for the scenery, its history and the open spaces." The inexpensive homes will be tract housing, but, he is quick to add, built in a handsome ranch style. "Not like the trailer I lived in when I first came to Marfa," he says.
Many residents welcome Trento's plan, even newcomers like AmeriCorps volunteer Emily Mahoney, who moved to Marfa last year to help develop regional social services. Finding a place to live proved difficult. "I'm pretty low-income and nothing in town was manageable as far as houses go," she says. "Marfa is becoming an increasingly difficult town in which to survive, especially if you have a family."
"I hope Trento sticks to it and achieves what he wants to do," says Presidio County tax appraiser Irma Salgado. "If not for us, then for our kids. They go to school, graduate, go to college and don't come back. One reason they don't stay is because there are no places like Wal-Mart here." Live 160 miles from a big supermarket or drugstore and Wal-Mart isn't viewed as the Beast of Bentonville. Instead it's seen as a symbol of prosperity, job opportunities and, above all, convenience. "Out here, Wal-Mart stands for everything you can't usually get in Marfa," Mahoney says.
American Plume employs 13 local women, mostly Mexican-American, to create its boas. They are proud of their work. Posters and newspaper articles hang in the factory's hallways. Their boas have graced Big Bird as well as coiled around Sandra Bullock in "Miss Congeniality 2."
Sarah Villa, general manager for American Plume, supervises the artisans, who put the finishing touches on work produced in a sister factory located 58 miles south in the border town of Ojinaga, Mexico. Villa watches as Bertha Gradeja carefully steams, combs and fluffs blue ostrich plumes, readying them for a headdress that'll dazzle them in Vegas. Above them, hundreds of brightly colored boas dangle from the rafters.
"We're making art here, too," Villa says. "These ladies are very talented. They've been here since we've been here," she says of her crew. "They're dedicated and hardworking and more like a family." She shakes her head over the Chinati Foundation's refusal to welcome more development. "I'm a lifelong resident of Marfa. All I want for Marfa is for it to thrive. We welcomed Chinati when they arrived. I don't understand why Chinati doesn't want Marfa to grow."
Marfa's growing reputation as an Aspen in the making is attracting the very rich — not just cash-poor artists and writers — who are giving the town its extreme makeover. The biggest threat to Marfa may not be Chinati or Trento but the town's incipient fabulousness. How else to describe the Prada jacket cuddling Rainer Judd's shoulders on a recent cover of Brilliant magazine? The Texas monthly specializing in debutantes, society party pix and lavish interior design devoted an entire issue last October to Marfa. To corral its rising buzz, the magazine trundled out two SUVs from Austin stuffed to the roll bars with photographers, stylists and fashion writers. They liked what they found. "Marfa Matters," announced its cover. Yes, but to whom?
Rainer's $34,500 little black number is $9,000 more than the average Marfa family sees in a year. Clearly the magazine wasn't directed at them. Rather it was focused on the fashionable moths Marfa's flame now attracts. Air-kiss arbiters Vogue and W have both profiled the Marfa Ballroom, a new arts organization, and its owners: two young Texas heiresses, Fairfax Dorn and Virginia Lebermann.
A more accessible cultural watering hole than Chinati, the Ballroom, housed in a former Mexican dance hall, opened in 2003 with a splash. The Ballroom maintains its independent cultural streak. It has screened Kurosawa retrospectives, hosted a performance artist named Lederhosen Lucil and various national DJs, and invited "Pink Flamingos" director John Waters to lecture in a packed theater for a Wild West evening that evoked the one in 1882 when Oscar Wilde visited Leadville, Colo.
Marfa's popularity also means economic opportunity for those who understand the outlanders' tastes. New restaurants like Maiya's and the Brown Recluse have opened to serve them, and since Marfa is far from the nearest big airport in El Paso, the Hotel Paisano and the midcentury modern Thunderbird Motel, run by Austin hotelier Liz Lambert, mean the minimalist art pilgrims' progress will be a comfortable one.
Some residents, meanwhile, feel community life has taken a giant step backward. And not just because they feel segregated from the artists. Seeing their town revitalized along the lines of Dwell magazine leaves them cold. "It's about all the new things going on here — art galleries and things like that," says a rancher whose family has raised cattle in Marfa for generations. "Newcomers would be better off in local people's eyes if they did more that involved local people. Right now, you see them in the grocery store and eating together. But they're not putting in businesses or restaurants that most locals will go to. They've come to Marfa because of the quaintness, yet they're trying to change it, to citify it. Like the bookstore. It's doing very well, and so is the wine bar, but is that something that is natural to the area of Marfa? They've redone the Thunderbird Motel, and that's great, but is it doing much for Presidio County?"
It is for some Marfa residents, like Zane McWilliams, who's worked on local ranches, and recently landed a job as a barista at the Brown Recluse. "The Marfa boom's good if you can get a job from it," he says. "If I wasn't here at the Brown Recluse, I'd be digging ditches."
It's unlikely, though, that many locals could afford to buy a new home in town. "Houses worth $20,000 or $30,000 are selling for $250,000," says Presidio County appraiser Salgado. "Adobes worth $20,000 are going for $200,000." Like thirsty cattle who can smell water miles away, lowing investors are stampeding up Highway 90 eager to buy anything with daubed mud and a screen door. Their frenzy astonishes many locals.
"People call in and ask to get in on the ground floor," observes Marfa real estate agent Linda Jenkins. "I tell them they're six years too late." Still, the inquiries keep coming. From New York. From Dublin. From Singapore. Even the French, who are making Marfa the new Paris, Texas. "I've sold four properties to French clients," says Wright. "Guess they like the art."
Some longtime residents benefit from an increase in property prices, but they are burdened by them, too. "If [the real estate boom] doesn't stop, it will be so hard for the average taxpayer who has lived here forever to pay their taxes," says Salgado. "I have to explain to them that because Mr. Smith from Houston bought a house like yours I have to charge the same rate. They ask me, 'What have I done?' and I have to tell them, 'Nothing, it's just the market.'"
The glamour carries another price tag invisible to the tourists tripping in from St. Germain or Williamsburg. The new eateries and bamboo-floored galleries have meant the end of more prosaic retailers. There wasn't much to begin with, but what's left is going fast. In February, Mary Arrieta lost the main street location for her store Ave Maria, which sold the town its religious icons, wedding crystal, and greeting cards. At the time, she paid $300 in rent. The new owner needed the Highland Street space for upscale lofts. Mike's, the local cafe, had to move off Highland, too.
"For 29 years, I could afford to rent on [Highland]. Now I can't," says Arrieta. "It is sad the way the art crowd is working it out so that they don't have to lift a finger to put us out. Mike's Cafe was the only one left and he's going to be out by July. Marfa Cable [TV] is looking for a place. They say to me, 'Mary, where are we going to go?' We cannot buy socks or pants here. The other people are rich. They jump in their planes, fly to the city and buy what they need."
In the showdown between minimalism and big-box retail, there's no truce in sight. "I guess the feather company feels Chinati is snotty and Chinati feels threatened," says newly elected Marfa Mayor David Lanman, a transplanted Boston craftsman. Despite its protests, Chinati's campaign seems doomed. As Judge Agan points out, Trento's land is in unincorporated Presidio County. "He can build skyscrapers if he wants to," Agan says. "As long as he has a permit, there's nothing we can do." Currently, Trento is waiting to hear whether his subdivision will be home to a new U.S. Border Patrol station. He's in competition with another Marfa site and should know by fall. In the meantime, he continues to refine his blueprint for ranchettes and retail stores.
Lanman says the last thing he wants is to see Marfa become another Santa Fe. "When a town becomes a product and not a vision you lose something," he says. He points to a "Third Way," recognizing that Marfa must grow but in the process not ruin what is special about the town. "We're trying to develop guidelines for Marfa to encourage or limit the size of buildings in particular areas," he says. "People will have to apply for permits now — they won't just be granted one over the counter [automatically]." (This won't affect Trento's development, as it's outside city limits.) Lanman hopes that new ideas, what he calls "frontier vision," will encourage townspeople to find solutions to how Marfa should grow. As an example that benefits everyone in town, he points to a new nonprofit health clinic, Marfa Health and Wellness, run by Kate Wanstrom, a local nurse practitioner, which opens this fall in an old Baptist church behind the Thunderbird Motel.
For now, though, the Marfa boom shows no signs of flagging. In fact, it is reverberating around the Texas big bend to Alpine, Fort Davis and Marathon. Each town is developing its own unique flavor. Austin politicos, such as columnist Molly Ivins, favor Marathon. (There's a boutique there called AUSTINTaTIOUS.) Fort Davis draws affluent retirees, especially from the Houston area. Alpine, the region's commercial hub and site of Sul Ross State University, attracts people from as far away as Germany.
For the next round of urban refugees, worried they're too late to cash in on Marfa's zeitgeist, fear not. The Texas Historical Commission, a state agency for historic preservation, says Alpine, the town next to Marfa, has the largest collection of historic adobe structures outside of El Paso. Drive to Alpine's south side. There, on Gallego Avenue, across from Our Lady of Peace, the pretty Catholic Church fashioned from native stone, sits an old adobe. A hand-lettered sign is affixed in front: "For Sale — $25,000 — Price Firm." Or said. It's recently been removed.

Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front of Communist Party of India (Marxist) organised a district-wide demonstration here to condemn Chettipulam violence and demanded immediate administrative intervention to resolve the issue.
Kovai Subramaniam, Secretary, Vedaranyam block of CPI (M), demanded the arrest of those who instigated violence and also sought action against the Panchayat President and Vice-Chairperson of Chettipulam. ''The silence that prevailed in an unjust social order was reminiscent of the 'silence of the grave','' and demanded it be broken.
A. V. Murugayan, District Secretary, CPI (M) questioned the ideological commitment of Dravidian Parties to the Dalits and the silence of the state government on the Chettipulam issue.
"Set up Samathuvapurams, Samathuvamaidhanams (Community graveyards) or name streets after Periyar, but implement existing laws that are meant to protect the entitlements of the Dalits," said Stalin, district functionary of Democratic Youth Federadation of India.
While the Party acknowledged the efforts of the district administration, some speakers criticised a section of the Police administration in dealing with the issue.
Marimuthu, MLA, Nagapattinam, stated that the violence was organised. He questioned the sincerity of the Police administration and efficiency of the intelligence sources. "The 1.5 km stretch leading to the temple was blocked with logs and pipes. It was planned violence and the Police feigns ignorance of all this," he said.
G. Ramakrishnan, member, CPI (M) Central Committee, stated that the party was not against caste Hindus. "We are not casteists, nor are we exclusive to any particular community. We question the non-interference of the government," he said.
Presiding over the protest demonstration, Naagai Maali, Convenor, Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front called upon the district administration for the resolution of the issue by October 30. Efforts should be taken to ensure Dalits entry into the temple, failing which a massive agitation would be organised on November 2, Mr.Maali said. Kalai Selvi, District Secretary, All India Democratic Women's Association was among the speakers.
