Walton County commissioners decided to continue Tuesday's public hearing on a proposed fire assessment increase after residents came out in force to voice their opinions.
The proposal would increase residential fees from $25 to $95 and start charging owners of vacant land, county spokesman Louis Svehla said.
People who own up to 10 acres of agricultural or vacant land would be charged $11.30. Those with more than 10 acres would be charged $11.30 for the first 10 acres and 17 cents for each additional acre.
The resolution would affect only property owners in unincorporated parts of the county served by Walton County Fire Rescue. Those served by the South Walton, Argyle, DeFuniak Springs, Freeport and Liberty fire departments will not be affected.
Tuesday night's meeting was packed, Svehla said. About 35 people signed up to speak against the resolution and about 10 people signed up to speak for it.
"They couldn't get to everyone," Svehla said.
The county's administration department fielded about 300 calls from residents in recent weeks, Svehla said. Most of them simply wanted more information about the assessment.
The next public hearing will be at 5 p.m. July 16 at the Walton County Courthouse in DeFuniak Springs. Commissioners likely will make a final decision at their meeting July 23, Svehla said.
The board wants the assessments to pay a larger share of the cost for fire protection,said Gerry Demers, the county's interim administrator.
Assessments now pay only about 5 percent of the $4.2 million fire services budget, or about $300,000, he said.
Ad valorem taxes make up the difference.
"The fire fees that we collect don't even come close to covering the current services we provide,"Demers said.
Unlike ad valorem taxes, the fire assessment is a flat fee that doesn't take into account the value of a property, Svehla said.
A study on the cost of funding local fire departments found that to be completely self-sufficient, the residential fire assessment fee would have to increase to $379, Svehla said.
Under the proposal, commissioners would not need a public notice or hearings to raise residential assessments up to $150 or to raise the fee for up to 10 acres of agricultural or vacant land to $17.85. Commissioners also could charge up to 27 cents for every acre more than 10 without a notice or hearings.
Any fee increases beyond those would require a public notice and hearings before a vote.
The resolution does include a hardship waiver for those who cannot afford the increase, Svehla said. If the resolution is approved, residents who apply and qualify for the waiver would pay the existing residential $25 fee.
The fee has been $25 since the Fire Assessment Municipal Services Benefit Unit was formed in 1997, Svehla said.
Svehla said Commissioner Cindy Meadows noted Tuesday that nearly everything costs more than it did 16 years ago.
"The board is looking at what they're facing in the county," Svehla said.

Life along the Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers when you are a tiny clown fish. And for Marlin, a single parent determined to protect his only son Nemo, there are constant fears and anxieties. When, on his first day of school, Nemo defies his father and swims off alone to investigate a boat, he is suddenly scooped up by a diver as Marlin helplessly watches. Marlin turns desperate as he frantically swims off in search for his son. As he passes a school of fish he bumps into Dory, an agreeable blue tang with severe short-term memory loss, who offers to help. Together this aquatic odd couple set out on an impossible mission, finding themselves in troubled waters and contending with such hazards as sharks, deadly angler fishes and a forest of jellyfish. Meanwhile, in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbor, Nemo has landed in a fish tank that is home to a colorful group of characters who want to initiate him into their gang. When word of Marlin and Dory's ocean adventures gets back to Nemo, he is so thrilled to learn of his father's search for him that he becomes motivated to move forward with a daring escape plan of his own.

I have a handful of rusty screws on my bike; where can I find such small parts?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Bicycles Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who build and repair bicycles, people who train cycling, or commute on bicycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Most bike screws are 4, 5, or 6 mm allen bolts. Any bike shop will also have these in stock. You could probably hunt up some stuff in your local hardware store, just bring your bike along.
On the net:
Bike shops usually carry even the most obscure screws. It's a good thing to get to know your local bike shop and be "friendly" with its staff, when you're missing small parts like that (a screw or two, or small replaceable parts from the derailleur let's say) they might even give it to you.
Those are called stem bolts. I'm not sure what size those are, but all bmx stems use the same sized bolts and you can get a new set of 6 for under $10 at your local(online) bike shop.

On September 7, the Portland Art Museum opens an exhibition of 70 prints by Robert Adams, a 76-year-old artist and Astoria resident widely regarded as the most influential landscape photographer of his generation. Throughout his career, Adams has crafted his work as an invitation to ponder the future of the western landscape by examining what we've done to it so far. This exhibit, The Question of Hope, marks the first time Adams has directed that call to his fellow Oregonians.
Half of the exhibition's pictures depict the tree stumps and carcasses shorn on the hillsides of the Coast Range by the logging industry's giant mechanical snippers and bulldozers. Rendered in grimly exacting grays, the images quite knowingly recall the human carnage documented by battlefield photographers such as Timothy O'Sullivan (the Civil War) and W. Eugene Smith (World War II). To describe the challenge of photographing a clearcut, in fact, Adams invokes a pledge he once heard from Smith, regarding images of the corpse-strewn beaches of the Pacific theater: "I vowed I would not make patterns." Adams's photographs project a similar gravity of despair and purpose.
"If you've ever walked in these places," Adams says, "you see how few birds there are. You can smell the herbicide. The devastation—the indiscriminate devastation—is beyond words."
The exhibition's other half portrays the Pacific Ocean, mostly waves and beaches rendered in the same high-key grays, shot from vantage points that make them feel like the Great Plains rolling outward from the foothills of the Rockies. These photographs, in sharp contrast to the bleak clearcut images and their implicit political commentary, are quite simply about beauty. The ocean, Adams writes in an introduction to the exhibit, "seems to me to carry a promise ... no matter how enigmatic its terms are."
Destruction and promise: Adams has juxtaposed the two for more than 40 years. He has published more than 30 books of his work and been the subject of exhibits worldwide, most recently a 300-print retrospective organized by Yale Art Gallery now touring major museums in Denver, Los Angeles, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, and Switzerland through summer 2014. That epic show charts a career that broke away from the century-long tradition of photographing the West—the serene, people-free, often abstract views from the likes of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston—to take a hard look at the facts unfolding on the ground: the sprawling complex of freeways, suburban tracts, and signs, so many signs. In Adams's photographs, the landscape became a kind of storm weathered by its inhabitants and by nature itself. Yet, always, somewhere—in the toys of a plywood house's unplanted yard or a broken tree somehow still surviving—lies the promise, no matter how "enigmatic," of renewal.
"To us, there is so little work that is being made that is of consequence for the future," says Joshua Chuang, Yale's curator in charge of the retrospective. "We feel there is a metaphor and a lesson in Adams's work that we wanted to broadcast to the greater world."
Like his previous shows in Oregon—one at the Portland Art Museum, one at Reed College—The Question of Hope is modest in scale. But Adams considers it an urgent message to his adopted home.
"We have a decision to make," says the photographer, who believes clear-cutting should be banned and has campaigned for two failed ballot initiatives to stop the practice. "It's just like when we said, 'No, you can't kill the last 80 buffalo on the North American continent. The problem isn't that we don't know how to fix this problem; it's that we don't have the political will."
"We"—Adams always uses the first-person plural to include his wife (and editor) of over 50 years, Kerstin—"have never had an opportunity to really speak about this to an audience here."
Set in the museum's lower-level gallery, the message will be expressed quietly. Many viewers may shrug that the pictures are, as has often been said of Adams's work, "cold" and "dull." But other opinions have long prevailed. In 1994, the MacArthur Foundation recognized Adams with a $340,000 "genius" fellowship. For the retrospective exhibit now traveling the world, Yale channeled resources at a level rare for a living photographer, producing a three-volume catalog, reprinting three of Adams's seminal monographs, and producing three books of new work. The university now permanently houses more than 2,000 of Adams's master prints.
Robert Adams: The Question of Hope
Portland Art Museum
Sept 7–Jan 5
On a sunny afternoon at his kitchen table, over tea and sweet crackers from a nearby tienda, Adams sums up the Yale experience: "There's something very sobering about contemplating your mortality through the shape of what you've done. Of course, all of it is not the way you wish it were."

The City University of New York
The City University of New York is a twenty college university, with branches located throughout the five boroughs of the city. The University's governing body, the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York, formulates bylaws and policies providing direction for the operation of the University and of its constituent colleges. In addition, the Board passes on the policy recommendations submitted by each of the autonomous colleges. Funds for the City University are provided by the State of New York, City of New York, tuition, fees, and gifts. Federal and State government agencies provide grant funds for research, special programs, and student financial aid.
Although the City University was formally established in 1961, the first college of the University dates from 1847, when New York City established by referendum the Free Academy, now City College. The University today consists of ten senior (four-year) colleges, six community colleges, a four-year technical college, a doctoral-granting graduate school, a law school, a graduate school of journalism, an accelerated medical program, and a medical school. The Mount Sinai School of Medicine is affiliated with the University.
The Graduate School and University Center in mid-Manhattan offers a wide range of doctoral programs, including the Ph.D. program in plant sciences based at Lehman College. The Center also conducts urban research and administers the CUNY Baccalaureate Program, open to students at all CUNY colleges.

I just wanted to remind everyone what happened to our intrepid leader (great, I just vomited on my keyboard...must...keep...typing...) last year when he tried to celebrate this day.
It's nice to see that he's gracing Arlington National Cemetery with his presence this year as a perfectly timed poll on the military's opinion of him is released.
Speaking for the side of the political spectrum that never feels like they have to fake it...
Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all the soldiers and their families who have sacrificed for freedom we too often take for granted. God bless you.

Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from the British Museum
- Dates: November 23, 2001 through February 24, 2002
- Collections: Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
Ancient Egyptian Art: Made for Eternity
Ancient Egypt is the oldest known civilization in Africa and one of the earliest and greatest in the world. Along the Nile river, ancient Egyptians built innumerable temples and tombs, which they filled with resplendent works of art. Through surviving examples of such art objects, Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from The British Museum examines this culture's history spanning more than three thousand years—from the first Egyptian rulers in 3100 B.C. through A.D. 170, when Egypt had been under Roman rule for about two centuries.
As in most ancient societies, power and wealth in Egypt belonged to a relatively small group of rulers and administrators. These elite individuals commissioned the greatest artists to create statues, reliefs, and paintings for their temples, where they worshiped the gods, and for their tombs, where they hoped to preserve the spirit as well as the memory of their dead. Although the majority of Egyptians owned only a few modest amulets (small, symbolic images worn or carried to provide magical protection), people who held moderately important positions, such as officials and priests, were often able to afford small statues and other objects including funerary articles, jewelry, and cosmetic vessels. As a result, ancient Egyptian art represents a considerable variety of media, styles, and purposes, revealing much about the civilization's society, customs, and religious beliefs.
To emphasize the shifts in styles and conventions over ancient Egypt's long history, most of the objects in this exhibition have been arranged in chronological order. The works displayed here demonstrate that, despite stylistic changes, central traditions and values of ancient Egyptian civilization and its representation endured over thousands of years. Through their art, the Egyptians themselves sought eternal life—a desire expressed in the hieroglyphic phrase ankh djet, which means "living eternally."
From ancient Rome through the present day, Egyptian art has fascinated collectors, archaeologists, and general audiences. Some of the most important and exquisite surviving examples are preserved in The British Museum in London, whose renowned collection was assembled over more than two hundred years of exploration, excavation, bequests, and acquisition. This exhibition presents many of the finest and most famous objects from that great collection.

Kings and Dynasties
Kingship was so central to all aspects of the Egyptians' government and religion that they based their historical records, from the First Dynasty (about 3100 B.C.), on the reigns of individual kings and their families, or dynasties. Almost three thousand years later (about 280 B.C.) an Egyptian priest named Manetho used this continuing record to write an important history of Egypt, in which he grouped all the kings into thirty dynasties. By Manetho's time, the king was usually called pharaoh, which literally means "the palace" (much as Americans today often refer to the president as the White House).
Modern scholars have divided these dynasties into the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom, and the Late Period. These times of strong central government are separated by eras of political instability, known as Intermediate Periods. Dates for most of ancient Egyptian history are still uncertain and sometimes change with continuing research. In this exhibition, dates are often preceded by the word "about."
Representations of Egyptian kings show them with royal costumes and symbols, which include crowns or a royal headcloth (called a nemes), a cobra at the forehead (called a uraeus), and usually a traditional short kilt. Kings also sometimes wear a "royal beard," an artificial rectangular piece attached to the chin with straps. In Egyptian art, royal names are written within an oval, which is known by the modern term cartouche.
Early Dynastic Period Dynasties 1 and 2 (about 3100–2686 B.C.)
According to ancient Egyptian records, a king named Menes founded the First Dynasty by uniting northern and southern Egypt into a single kingdom. This unification under strong central government led to important social, economic, and artistic developments. Egyptian kings built huge tombs, filled with goods for the Afterlife, including precious works of art. First and Second Dynasty kings also built large ceremonial enclosures for their funerary rites. Although these structures were built in mud brick, Egyptians had already begun to use stone in tomb construction. Like the statues and reliefs depicting the king, these tombs were intended to last forever.
Few works of art have survived from this early period, however, because of destruction and theft by ancient tomb robbers seeking valuable treasures. Most of the surviving works are small objects that escaped the attention of these early thieves, such as the three ivories in the nearby case. Their sophisticated craftsmanship reflects a predynastic tradition of ivory carving that was already a thousand years old.
The Old Kingdom Dynasties 3-6 (about 2686–2181 B.C)
The Old Kingdom was a period of intense creativity in ancient Egyptian art. In the Third and Fourth Dynasties, artistic activity centered on the need of the kings and their families to build and furnish their tombs for protection and longevity in the Afterlife. During the Fourth Dynasty, King Cheops built his tomb, the Great Pyramid, at Giza. His son Chephren built both a huge pyramid and the nearby Great Sphinx. These immense structures are perhaps the best-known surviving Egyptian monuments. In the sculpture made for these tombs, Egyptian artists began portraying the human figure with increased naturalism.
As in the First and Second Dynasties, the culture of the Old Kingdom focused on the all-important figure of the king. As this period progressed, however, the Egyptian economy and society grew richer and more complex, necessitating ever larger numbers of religious and governmental officials. By the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, an increasing number of priests and bureaucrats were building tombs, which they decorated with scenes of agriculture, fishing, and other daily activities. The depictions of such activities were intended to magically ensure an eternal supply of food and other goods for the deceased. These scenes provide precious information about the lives of ordinary people, who themselves could not afford decorated tombs or elaborate works of art.
Wood Sculpture
The four wooden statues displayed nearby exemplify a new way of depicting the human body that was introduced late in the Old Kingdom (Sixth Dynasty). In contrast to the sturdy, muscular forms of early Old Kingdom stone statues, these figures have long, slender bodies, oversized heads, and large, staring eyes. The reasons for these stylistic changes are not clear, and scholars still do not understand why, in this period only, statues of high-ranking men and women were sometimes shown nude, without costumes or jewelry to indicate their status.
Most ancient Egyptian wooden statues, examples of which are displayed throughout this exhibition, were considerably smaller than life-size. Because the trees native to Egypt produced wood of poor quality, fine wood had to be imported from farther south in Africa or from the area of Lebanon, and was therefore expensive. In order to use wood most economically, Egyptian artists usually carved a statue's head and body from a single piece and made the arms, the fronts of the feet, and the base separately. The dynamic striding figure of Meryrahashtef nearby is a rare exception, carved from a single piece of wood. Since wood is lighter and more easily worked than stone, wood carvers usually eliminated the filled-in spaces between the limbs as well as the back pillars typical of stone statuary.
The First Intermediate Period and the Early Middle Kingdom Dynasties 9–11 (about 2160–1985 B.C.)
Egypt's central government collapsed at the end of the Old Kingdom. The civil disorder of the First Intermediate Period that followed had a direct effect on Egyptian art. Artists in provincial centers had little training in the controlled, formal styles associated with the royal court, and they developed their own stylistic variations. In the stela (decorated stone slab) of Inyotef displayed nearby, the artist's renderings of figures with large heads and hair textured by drill holes are signs of a regional style.
Toward the end of the First Intermediate Period, King Mentuhotep II rose to power. He eventually reunited Egypt, establishing the strong centralized government of the Middle Kingdom. One of Egypt's most influential kings, Mentuhotep II had a large and lavishly decorated funerary temple built for him at Thebes, along the Nile river in southern Egypt. The head of a statue of him and three wall reliefs displayed nearby came from that now-ruined temple.
Stelae were used by Egyptians to commemorate their death and transition into the Afterworld. Decorated with funerary or offering scenes, they were located in or in front of tombs. Stelae were also placed in temples with representations of the king or private people, who thus served the gods eternally.
The High Middle Kingdom Dynasty 12 (about 1985–1795 B.C.)
The powerful and capable kings of the Twelfth Dynasty moved their capital from Thebes, in southern Egypt, to Lisht, in the northern part of the country. This was a strategic move to strengthen their control over the entire country, but it also enhanced the influence of Old Kingdom art and architecture, which was still prominent in the north.
Like Old Kingdom rulers, Twelfth Dynasty kings had pyramids built as their tombs, testifying to their unity with Egypt's past and assuring their own future in the Afterworld. The artist of the statue of Sesostris I whose upper half is on view in this gallery was strongly influenced by the sturdy naturalism of Old Kingdom sculpture, as is evident in the youthful face and body. The somber standing statue of his great-grandson, Sesostris III, and the colossal head of his great-great-grandson, Amenemhat III (displayed in the next room), show these later kings with unusually individualized features. They are also depicted with somber expressions, which appear to reflect a Middle Kingdom perception that kingship was a heavy and difficult burden.
The Late Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period Dynasties 13–17 (about 1795–1550 B.C.)
The centralized government achieved by the kings of the High Middle Kingdom disintegrated under their Thirteenth Dynasty successors. Although we know very little about these kings, Egyptian records indicate that about fifty of them reigned over a period of 150 years, in what is known as the late Middle Kingdom. In that unsettled time, many artists consciously attempted to evoke the spirit of the great Twelfth Dynasty kings. As we can see in the statues displayed in this gallery, these artists often paired mature facial features with youthful bodies. This artistic combination echoes Twelfth Dynasty statues of the powerful kings Sesostris III and Amenemhat III.
Egypt's political difficulties enabled rulers from the east called Hyksos (an Egyptian word meaning "chiefs of foreign lands") to gain control over the northern part of the country. This period of foreign rule, known as the Second Intermediate Period, ended about 1550 B.C. At that time, a Theban dynasty under King Ahmose expelled the Hyksos, once again uniting Egypt and beginning the great era known today as the New Kingdom.
The Mummy as Statue
Ancient Egyptians preserved the bodies of their dead through mummification, a process of drying the body with salts and organic substances. They developed this practice because they believed that the body had to survive intact in order for the soul to enjoy eternal life in the Afterworld.
Egyptians designed various coverings—masks and coffins, for example—to protect the body physically. In addition, coffins and tomb walls were decorated with imagery of the gods and symbols of rebirth, to supply magical protection. In periods when people were buried in group tombs, dense coffin decoration, as on the intricately patterned lid displayed nearby, took the place of tomb wall decorations.
Ancient Egyptians believed that human-shaped coffins, mummy masks, and tomb statues could receive offerings of food on behalf of the deceased. During the New Kingdom and later, the coffin (with the mummy inside) was placed upright outside the tomb during the last rites, as if it were a statue of the deceased. Like the coffin lid, the much later coffin displayed in this gallery was designed to stand upright before being laid in the tomb.
The Book of the Dead: Drawing and Painting on Papyrus
Throughout their history, ancient Egyptians believed that their spirits could live forever in an underworld where the sun traveled through the night—a realm that combined features of life on earth and the mythical presence of the gods they worshiped. Increasingly, they came to think of their journey to the Afterworld as a difficult and sometimes dangerous one. To assist them in this passage, they developed what we now call the Book of the Dead, collections of magical spells that were placed in tombs. Scribes wrote these spells on long strips of papyrus, the earliest form of paper, which was made from stalks of the papyrus plant that grew along the Nile river. The spells were illustrated, sometimes with elaborate scenes.
An unusual painted scene from a Book of the Dead displayed in this gallery shows a couple with their earthly house and garden, worshiping the god Osiris in the mythical land of the Afterworld. Three other paintings in this gallery come from the most famous of all funerary papyri, made for a scribe named Ani. One scene depicts Ani's funeral procession, and the others illustrate episodes in the Afterworld—the weighing of Ani's heart (the final judgment of his soul) and his idyllic Afterlife. Another painting of the weighing of the heart displayed nearby, made almost a thousand years later, shows how little depictions of this scene changed over time.
The Early New Kingdom Dynasty 18 (about 1550–1295 B.C.)
The New Kingdom, founded by King Ahmose, was Egypt's imperial age. Under Ahmose's successors, especially the conqueror Thutmosis III, Egypt extended its power to the east and the south, making it the strongest and wealthiest civilization the world had ever known. The art of this expanding empire expressed wealth and power through elegance and beauty. The costumes and adornments of the elite became increasingly elaborate.
Thebes, in southern Egypt, was the royal city of the Eighteenth Dynasty kings. The Valley of the Kings, on the Nile's West Bank, was the royal burial ground, and huge royal funerary temples lined the bordering plain. The enormous head from the statue of Amenhotep III displayed in this gallery comes from his funerary temple, which today is almost destroyed, except for two gigantic seated statues of the king known as the Colossi of Memnon. Karnak, the main temple of the Theban god Amun, on the East Bank of the Nile, became one of the richest and largest in Egypt. The head of Thutmosis III in a tall crown and the cloaked figure of Senenmut with a princess displayed nearby are examples of the fine statues that once lined Karnak Temple's corridors and courtyards.
Akhenaten and Tutankhamun Late Dynasty 18 (about 1352–1336 B.C.)
For thousands of years Egyptians worshiped many gods and goddesses. When King Akhenaten came to power in the late Eighteenth Dynasty, he rejected the traditional religion and worshiped only the sun's disk, which was called the Aten. The king's subjects, in turn, worshiped the royal family as the Aten's descendants on earth. Akhenaten ordered the temples of the traditional gods and goddesses to be closed, and their images to be destroyed. The king founded a new capital city at a site in central Egypt now called Amarna, where he lived with his queen, Nefertiti, and their six daughters. The distinctive artistic style that developed in the Amarna Period began with exaggerated representations of the king's long neck, drooping chin, and plump figure, and moved toward softer, more naturalistic depictions.
After Akhenaten's death, Tutankhamun—who was probably his son—became king. Still a child, Tutankhamun was a leader only in name. Powerful officials exercised his authority, restored the old gods and their temples, and abandoned Amarna and the religion of the Aten. The elegant naturalism of the Amarna style continued, however, in sculpture such as the standing figure of Tutankhamun in this gallery.
A few years after Tutankhamun's premature death, his chief-of-staff, named Horemheb, became king. This gallery includes a relief from the large, elegantly decorated tomb that he built for himself while he was serving Tutankhamun. For his successor, Horemheb chose a military colleague, Ramesses I, who founded the Nineteenth Dynasty.
The Scribe as Artist
In ancient Egypt, where very few people could write, scribes (writers) were highly respected professionals. Although the majority of scribes were not artists, most painters and sculptors were trained as scribes. This practice encouraged a close relationship between writing and art.
Egyptians wrote in combinations of flat, schematic pictures of plants, animals, and other objects. These images, known as hieroglyphs, had to be precisely drawn in order to be readable. Therefore, artistic and scribal training emphasized the importance of outlines in hieroglyphs and, consequently, in paintings and reliefs. This integration of writing and images helps explain why Egyptian artist-scribes drew figures and landscapes in a way that eliminated any sense of spatial depth, even when carved in relief. These intentionally flat images demonstrate an artistic sensibility very different from that associated with Western conventions of perspective.
Young scribes and artists learned their trade by copying the hieroglyphs and drawings of masters. When decorating the walls of tombs or temples, professional Egyptian artists probably worked from sketches and often used an underlying grid to ensure the correct proportions of figures. Egyptian scribes and artists used very simple tools: reeds with pointed or frayed ends were their pens and brushes. They used paint and ink made from pigments, such as red and yellow ocher and carbon, which were ground and mixed with water or a binding medium.
Creative Solutions
The works in this section demonstrate inventive solutions to various artistic challenges. In order to depict the many ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses with animal heads and human bodies, for example, artists carefully adjusted the proportions of the heads and bodies and covered the awkward join by adding a long wig. Human and animal shapes also inspired an ingenious interplay of form and function in decorative objects. The craftsman of the headrest in the shape of a hare displayed in this gallery designed it so that the sleek ears form the cradle for the owner's head. The artist who made the statuette of a girl holding a box on her head that could be used for cosmetics answered his patron's desire for a delightful, unique luxury item by portraying the figure in an unusual and naturalistic pose.
Ancient Egyptian craftsmen worked in a wide variety of media. Faience, a type of glazed ceramic invented by the Egyptians, was used to make objects ranging from jewelry and amulets to statuettes like the little figure of a monkey stealing a horse in the nearby case. In glass, ancient Egyptian craftsmen were able to produce such exquisite pieces as the fish and sphinx head in the nearby case, despite the technical challenge of being unable to melt glass to the point where it was easily workable. Even pottery, usually restricted to simple vessels, was sometimes used for human forms, such as the graceful figure of a woman playing a lute, in the same case.
Magic and Symbols in Egyptian Art
In ancient Egypt, religion and art were closely related. Egyptians believed that images of people or things could become magically alive when animated by the proper rituals and spells. The "cult" statue of a god in a temple, such as the silver figure of Amun displayed nearby, served as a body that the god could inhabit to receive worship and accept daily offerings from the priests. Kings placed their statues in temples to ally themselves with the gods and to serve them for eternity. Egyptians furnished their tombs with statues and painted or carved wall decorations. These images of the deceased were considered able to receive the offerings needed to sustain their souls in the Afterworld.
Ancient Egyptians also believed that various symbols—from images of plants and animals to hieroglyphs—possessed magical powers. Egyptians relied on them for protection from physical danger and demonic spirits, both on earth and in the Afterlife. Because Egyptians believed that the ankh sign, a hieroglyph meaning "life," had the power to strengthen the life force, the represented it on many different kinds of objects, like the small ring in the nearby case. Egyptians from all levels of society possessed protective amulets.
The Late New Kingdom Dynasties 19 and 20 (about 1295–1069 B.C.)
The late New Kingdom is called the Ramesside Period, after its most important king, Ramesses II, known as Ramesses the Great. His long reign of sixty-seven years, his military prowess, and his colossal monuments and statues were models for his successors. Some of the structures he built—such as parts of the temples atKarnak and Luxor and the rock-cut temple at Abu Simbel in the far south—have survived. Many of his statues are extant as well, including a large pink granite bust from a standing figure of him in this exhibition.
Representations of Ramesses vary considerably, both in their facial features and bodily proportions, as do the statues of his contemporaries. At this time, elite individuals were shown wearing wigs and costumes that were even more elaborate than those of the earlier New Kingdom.
Ramesses' successors tried to imitate his triumphs and artistic ambitions. Many of them even named themselves after their famous predecessor. None were as successful in their endeavors as Ramesses the Great, however, and Egypt's empire began to fall to both dynastic quarrels and political turbulence abroad. The Twentieth Dynasty—and the New Kingdom—finally came to an end with Ramesses XI.
The Third Intermediate Period Dynasties 21–25 (about 1069–656 B.C.)
The kings of what we call the Third Intermediate Period were mostly of foreign ancestry. Those of the Twenty-first to Twenty-fourth Dynasties were descendants of Libyans who had long been settled in northern Egypt. The Twenty-fifth Dynasty was a family from the kingdom of Kush, in present-day Sudan. These kings practiced the Egyptian religion and adopted traditional royal regalia. Unlike their predecessors, however, few of them had firm control over the entire country. Despite political problems, Egyptian society and culture remained strong and stable throughout this period, and the arts flourished. Kings continued to build temples, which included great columned halls. The decorative top of a giant column from one of these halls is displayed in this gallery.
Artists of the Third Intermediate Period were encouraged to look to earlier Egyptian art for inspiration, but new artistic ideas also arose. One of the most striking of these innovations was the development of large or elaborately inlaid bronze statuary, exemplified in the richly decorated dress of a divine consort or queen on view nearby.
Looking to the Past: Archaism in Dynasties 25 and 26 (about 716–525 b.c.)
To ancient Egyptians, the past was always alive. It was part of the eternal cycle in which the sun rose and set each day, and of the unending chain of life, death, and rebirth. Throughout their history, ancient Egyptians continued to regard the reigns of strong earlier kings as models to be followed, especially during periods of political disturbance or social unrest.
Egyptians expressed this idealization of the past in many ways, including the imitation of earlier Egyptian art. This practice, called archaism, can be seen in Egyptian art as early as the Old Kingdom, but it reached its peak during the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Dynasties, when its popularity helped to stimulate an artistic revival. Reliefs and statues made during these dynasties show influences from the art of the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Sometimes artists imitated the poses, costumes, and hairstyles of a single past period quite faithfully, but often they combined features from different periods in one work of art. For example, the kneeling statue of Nespakashuty holding an emblem of the goddess Hathor elegantly combines an Old Kingdom kilt with a typically NewKingdom pose, elaborate wig, and beard.
The Late Period Dynasties 26–30 (664–343 B.C.)
Under the strong kings of the Twenty-sixth ("Saite") Dynasty, a number of new developments began that lasted for the rest of pharaonic history. One was an increase in the number of immigrants, many of them Greek, who came to Egypt as traders and soldiers. A second development was the emergence of a new artistic style that combined archaism (the imitation of earlier Egyptian art) with innovative elements. The result is an elegant, impersonal style, characterized by a move toward fleshier, more softly modeled forms. One distinctive feature of this new style is the little "Saite smile" with its deeply curved lower lip. This pleasant attribute can be seen on many of the statues of both kings and commoners displayed in this gallery.
Persian emperors defeated the last Saite king and ruled Egypt for more than a century (525–404 B.C.). When the native Egyptian kings of the Thirtieth Dynasty regained control of Egypt, they continued to build large temples, and they and their subjects had statues made that were based on the Twenty-sixth Dynasty style. This artistic mode had become so strongly identified with Egyptian tradition that the pharaohs of the following Ptolemaic Period also adopted it as their royal style.
The Ptolemaic and Roman Periods (332 B.C.–A.D. 642)
In 332 B.C. the Macedonian prince Alexander the Great expelled a second wave of Persian invaders from Egypt and added the country to his growing empire. Although Alexander himself held Egypt only until his death in 323 B.C., the Greek conquest of Egypt marked the end of native Egyptian rule. Alexander was eventually succeeded as king in Egypt by his boyhood friend and later general, Ptolemy, after whom the Ptolemaic Period is named. The fifteen rulers of this dynasty are notorious for their powerful ambitions and often violent political rivalries. The last of them—and probably the most capable—was the famous Cleopatra VII, who was ultimately unable to withstand the power of Rome. In 30 B.C. she and her consort Marc Antony were defeated by Augustus, and Egypt became the property of the Roman emperors.
Under the Ptolemies, Greek was the language of the government and Alexandria, the royal city, was a major center of Greek culture. Nevertheless, official policy encouraged the vast majority of Egyptians to live and worship according to their ancient traditions. The government also supported the construction of imposing temples decorated with wall reliefs representing the Ptolemies as traditional Egyptian pharaohs.
Although statues of these rulers and their Egyptian subjects often had faces with features based on Greek- and Roman-style portraits, they continued to have traditional Egyptian poses, costumes, and style, as in the standing statue nearby of a Ptolemaic pharaoh. Even for these last Greek and Roman rulers of ancient Egypt, who were faithful to their own Western religions and customs, ancient Egyptian art, culture, and traditions had an eternal appeal—which resonates with us today.

The NXTender...
"NXTender is a Windows program that allows your NXT to control your PC. It allows the NXT to send keyboard keyclicks to the PC (simulating a keyboard), to open windows and display data in them, and to receive joystick input from the PC. When you use NXTender, you normally program only the NXT brick. The NXTender runs on the PC and does not require programming. Bluetooth messages from the NXTtell the PC what to do, when to send data back, where to send it, what to display on the screen, etc.
Additional functionality can be added to NXTender via relatively-simple plugins that are implemented in Java. That is, the standard version of NXTender does not allow your NXT to control your USB cup warmer, but if you know a little bit of Java and you know how to control that cup warmer from a PC program, then you can write a NXTender plugin that will give your NXT conrol of the cup warmer.
Finally, a challenge. NXTender allows you to build a Lego mouse-type device for your PC without any PC-side programming. Try to build a good one.
Check it out here.

VERY cool! I couldn't agree more that I want to keep my programming on the NXT, not the computer. I know of at least one person trying to make a LEGO trackball for remote control of a NXT as is, he'd probably love to turn his NXT into a $250 mouse for his computer ;-). Question: can you have the NXT send messages to NXTender using NXT-G?
Brian "still Mac-based, after all these years" Davis
- Sep 25, 2006, 11:18:00 PM
Yes, all the NXT programming I did is with NXT-G, nothing else. The NXT sends and receives messages using the usual Bluetooth-Send and Bluetooth-Receive blocks.
In the plugins documentation pages there are example NXT-G programs that should work and that show how it's done.
NQC should also work, since it's sending messages in the same way, via the firmware, but I haven't really tried.

Hello I Think your program is Aweosome i Realy want to control mi NXT via joystick. But i have the following problem:
I Dont know if i have instaled NXTender becaouse when I double clik shortcut it apear NXT icon on the tray, but when y put over the icon my mouse it disapear and Im not able to clik it for propertis.
Plz try to answer My question
Thx Nicolas Palacios
- Sep 27, 2006, 9:45:00 AM
If the icon disappears when you hover over it, it means that the program crashed. It probably crashed a while before you hovered, but windows does not bother to update the system tray very often.
Try to run the program from a command line (start->run->cmd) to see if there are any error messages when it crashes, and if there are, send them to me so that I can try to figure out what is going wrong.
- Sep 27, 2006, 3:40:00 PM
Hello thx for try to help me.
I put Start>Run>cmd>C:\Program Files\NXTender\NXTender.bat and nothing happen... I try also whith

I wish I had bluetooth connectivity yet, this sounds like a quite fun challenge to do.
Quick aside question for Brian "still Mac-based, after all these years" Davis:
Any news about the universal binary version? Wasn't that supposed to happen in august, did I miss it?
- Sep 28, 2006, 8:05:00 PM
I have same problem as nicolas, i cant clik de program and im not able to see it en start>run to send you the error.
How you isntal this software, yus unpack it and its ready?
- Sep 29, 2006, 3:53:00 AM
Hi, Sivan! I have a prob.. i cant get that NXtender properties window open... anytime i click that shortcut it opens a black window with some text in it... help, please
- Sep 29, 2006, 5:16:00 AM
Open a cmd.exe window (start->run then type cmd and enter), cd to the directory where you installed it, and then type NXTender.
Then you will see the error message and you can report what it is.
One likely source of problems of this sort is an older version of Java. NXTender requires Java 1.5, so if you have an older version, it will not run. It should not be difficutl to upgrade if this is the problem.
- Sep 29, 2006, 5:27:00 AM
Ok.. now something just happened...
I typed my file destination in cmd
Then this appeared below:
hope now you can help me :)
- Sep 29, 2006, 6:16:00 AM
ok ... again... the last one didnt work
- Sep 29, 2006, 6:17:00 AM
Run it in the directory where you unpacked the zip, which in your case is c:\NXTender, otherwise the .bat program does not find the executables.
- Sep 29, 2006, 3:57:00 PM
ok, now all the plugins are loaded, etc. but the default com port is not set... How?
Sorry for asking so much ;)
but i realy wish to get that program working :D
- Sep 29, 2006, 4:22:00 PM
In the popup menu of the tray icon you will see a list of your COM ports. Just select one and try to send messages from the NXT (use one of the sample programs, like the keyboard sample). If you see some printouts, it's the right port. If not, try another one. It's likely to be the lowest one among the high numbers (that is, not 1, 2, 3, but if you have 10, 11, 12, it might be 10).

See your storage limit
You have 15 GB of free storage to share across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. If you use Google Apps at work or school, you have at least 30 GB of storage. While you may have a lot of files and folders in your Google Drive, only items that you've synced or uploaded use storage space. Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides or items shared with you don't count toward your storage space.
Check your storage
You can use Google Drive on the web, your mobile device or on your computer. To see how much storage you're using, go to Google Drive on the web and hover over the bottom left corner. A window will appear that shows your usage. You can also go to www.google.com/settings/storage to see how you're using your storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.
In Google Drive, you may see a difference in the storage usage listed for Drive on the web and Drive for your Mac/PC. Here are some reasons you may see different storage numbers:
- Files that are in your trash count toward your storage on the web, but not on your desktop.
- Files shared with you never count toward your storage on the web, but if you move a file to "My Drive" the shared file will sync to your desktop and count toward the storage of your Drive folder on your desktop.
Items that count toward your storage limit
- Gmail: All the messages and attachments in your mail, including those in your Spam and Trash folders.
- Drive: Files you've stored in Drive, like PDFs, images, and videos. Anything you've made with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides won't count toward your storage limit.
- Google Photos: If you choose "Original" in your Google Photos upload settings, your photos will count towards your storage limit.
If you exceed your storage limit, you'll receive warnings and you'll need to free up storage as soon as you can. Otherwise, you won't be able to sync or upload additional items to your Drive or add photos to Google. After a period of time, incoming messages to your Gmail account will be returned to the sender and you won't be able to send new messages.
Items that don't count toward your storage limit
- Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Presentations, Drawings, etc.
- Files that others have shared with you
What to do if you hit your limit
If you're close to your storage limit, you can delete items that are taking up space or buy more storage.
Delete items
Since your storage is shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos, you might want to see where you're using the majority of your storage space and start deleting from there.
Files in the Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides formats don't use any of your storage space. Only stored files such as PDFs, images, and videos use storage space. Stored files can be up to 5 TB each.
To clear space, look for larger files that you no longer need. An easy way to do this is to sort your files by file size.
To sort your files by file size:
- Hover over your storage usage in the bottom left corner.
- Don't see your storage usage in the corner? You may be using an older version of Drive. Try the alternate instructions below.
- Click Drive in the message that appears. You'll see all your files listed by file size.
Alternate instructions
To sort your files by file size using an older version of Drive:
- Open Google Drive.
- Click the arrow next to the column on the right. The heading will say either "Last modified," "Last edited by me," or "Last opened by me."
- Choose Quota used.
You can also use search to find files. Learn more about how to search your Google Drive.
Once you have found files to delete, send the files to Trash, then permanently delete them from there.
Step 1: Find messages to delete
To find messages that you're willing to part with, try using an advanced search. In Gmail, click the down arrow in the search box and enter some words you'd like to search for.
Here are a few examples to get you started:
|All messages of at least 10M bytes (10,000,000 bytes) in size.
|from:david has:attachment
|Messages from David that have an attachment.
|Messages that have JPG image attachments.
|Messages sent before January 1, 2010 (using the date format yyyy/mm/dd.
Step 2: Select messages and send to Trash
Open messages individually or select multiple messages using the checkboxes. Send messages to Trash using the Delete button.
If you find a group of messages that you want to send to Trash all at once, follow these steps:
- Check the box in the Select button to select all messages, or use the down arrow for more options.
- Click Select all conversations that match this search directly above the message list.
- Use the Delete button to send all selected messages to Trash.
Step 3: Permanently delete from trash
If you delete a message from Trash, you can't get it back. Messages in Trash will be permanently deleted after 30 days, but you can permanently delete them yourself to free up space.
First, open your Trash folder:
- Hover over the list on the left side of your Gmail (where "Sent Mail" and "Drafts" are listed).
- Click More at the bottom of your label list (you may need to scroll down).
- Click Trash.
Next, carefully review your messages. If you see a message that you don't want to delete, select the message and use the Move to button to move it to your Inbox or one of your other labels.
Finally, you can delete messages individually using the Delete forever button, or all messages at once using the Empty Trash now link directly above the message list.
In Google Photos, you may have a few blurry images, accidental videos, and photos of the inside of your pocket that are taking up space. Keep in mind that "High quality" size photos won't count toward your storage limit.
Learn how to delete photos in Google Photos.
Buy more storage
If you run out of free storage, you can buy more storage that can be shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. Learn more about storage plans. If you're an administrator, you can buy storage for your business.
Here are a few important things to know before buying a storage plan:
- If you buy more storage, you're buying a subscription that renews automatically. You can cancel your subscription at any time, but storage purchases are non-refundable.
- You can make changes to your storage plan at any time. You'll be upgraded to your new storage level right away and your charges will be adjusted on your next billing cycle.
- A storage plan for one Google account can't be transferred to a different account.
- It can take up to 24 hours before purchased storage is added to your account.

Amtrak is celebrating its 40th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, they've assembled a special train which includes displays of old memorabilia like uniforms, photos, and china. The train will be traveling through various parts of the United States. If you are interested in seeing the train, be sure to click here for the schedule to see if it's passing through your area.
The Exhibit Train will feature a special Chuggington play area for your little ones. Your children will be super-excited when they see it! It might also be a good idea for your child to work on his or her BADGE QUEST ahead of time so that they will be prepared when they go to see the train. What is the Badge Quest, might you ask? The Badge Quest is a series of stories and challenges which allow parents and children to interact. Children accept challenges, and upon completion of the challenge, receive a badge. There are several different opportunities for challenges and badges, which makes it fun and exciting for all. This opportunity is perfect for preschool aged children.
We at Ty's Toy Box are also excited about Amtrak's 40th anniversary celebration, and have an awesome selection of Chuggington toys, including trains, to help you celebrate! We also have clothing items that you can personalize with your child's name on it. Who knows-maybe they can even wear it to the Exhibit Train.

Questions on or help for NXT books?
Recently, I received a negative rating on amazon.com for my NXT-related book Advanced NXT: The da Vinci Inventions Book where the reader complained about the comprehensibility of some of the building instructions to him and his students.
Although a negative comment is something any author has to get along with, and although I do agree with him that some of those instructions have their weak points (as a result of the trade-off I was forced to make between the depth of detail and the volume of the book), I am nevertheless grieved that he never contacted me for support on that matter - in the book, I state on various occasions that every reader is welcome to contact me via my contact page and ask for help with points that are unclear to him/her, for other questions, suggestions or in general for any feedback to the book.
Like most authors of books, it is my desire that every reader should not get frustrated but make the best from the book, and hence I try to provide help or answers to any questions that I receive via the contact page (or any other channel) as soon as possible.
So I again encourage everyone of you who has bought the book but feels the need for help: please use that way of contacting me at your leisure.
Same goes for The LEGO(R) MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: me and my fellow authors are grateful for any hint, suggestion or question you have regarding it - you can use our forum for that (and some readers of the book have already done and received help there).
In general, that appeals to any (NXT) book around: most of the authors have spent a lot of their time, energy and heart on them and want to see their readers taking benefit of their efforts - and after all, you spent your money for a book, so why not use that option?
Thank you,

Boys love trinkets. My son calls his trinkets his "fun stuff". So I made him some "fun stuff" bags….because his "fun stuff" is all over the floor.
I used the instructions from this book:
It was the easiest method of making these lined bags that I've ever seen…but there are also good and similar tutorials for them here, or here, or here.

Trebuchet and Nova are very similar in terms of looks and use, but I'm not about to tell you which one you should use. Any of Nova, Apex or Treb are good each with advantages over the other. They all play together pretty nicely, allowing you to port your settings between them with ease so they all feel the same if you decide to switch between them.
Had a look at Nova but I think I'll just stick with the launcher that comes with Cyanogen, Trebuchet I think.
Have to say from this sale my best purchase was Nova, with Dungeon Village (huge fan of Kairo soft here) and ME Infiltrator close seconds.
Could you imagine how much money they would make if they had a regular sale every week?

"Oregon and Oregon State have come a long way since, uh, competing in a
game in 1983 that was so artless it came to be known as the Toilet Bowl."
So the lede goes in a USA TODAY story written by David Leon Moore on tonight's Civil War clash between the schools. On the line are a Pacific-10 championship and a spot in the Rose Bowl.
Could make for an exciting game, no? So, for whom to root?
"On Civil War day, Oregonians traditionally dress in Ducks or Beavers
gear. Some can't make up their mind, or have family ties to both
schools, and mix their garb. They are known as Platypuses."
A Facebook friend of mine who lives in Oregon posted this about his teacher wife's work place: "My wife says her school has basically been a Oregon-Oregon St. turf war
for the past week and that the teachers have separate color-coded
rooting sections set up in the break room!"

Ugh! Must every single thread have an argument??? This was the one thread that I would have thought would be safe. Can't we all keep our negative opinions to ourselves when it comes to other people's displays? Save the fighting for the thousand other threads on QA and DR issues.

Not to fuel the flames, but I've also never understood the mentality of "OMG THAT'S TOO GIRLY FOR ME LOLZ!" I hear it all the time in reference to POP, as if people have to make sure everyone knows "WOAH, hey now...those are GIRLS TOYS! And I'm a MAN, man!" Like, oh noes...is someone gonna think your one pink horse might be unmanly in your giant collection of plastic dolls?
I dunno. Not do disrespect anyone, either...I just have never really understood it. I'm comfortable enough in my manhood that I can buy a rainbow coloured horse without worrying about someone doubting my sexuality.
I never realized those DC guys had Jafar's staff before!
I like your collection and photos, Wonder Princess, though...I have to admit, I probably wouldn't display that much pink either. I like pink just fine, but yowsa

I am a feminist. I am a staunch advocate of gay rights. I am all for dudes wearing dresses to school and all other examples of blatant rebellion against tired gender roles.
And yet I still have a hard time walking through the "girl aisle" of the toy section.
I can only assume it takes me back to my insecure/stupid/homophobic '80s childhood or something.
That said, I'd totally display a Crystal Castle.
