Ordered two of these, but only one was shipped. Customer service was helpful in arranging for the vendor to arrange shipping the missing lamp. Unfortunately, the second lamp was broken when it arrived and had to be returned. Eventually, everything worked out, but the overall process was more complicated and time consuming than necessary.

Art, Classically Speaking
Classical America – The New American Classical Realism Renaissance
In 1968 Henry Hope Reed created Classical America, which is now called the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art. At that time, he had in mind the many ways our nation exhibited a classical heritage in art, architecture, political philosophy, and general cultural values. In the early years the organization did focus on architecture almost exclusively but today the organization has come to embrace the classical tradition more broadly. They have grown from a small New York core with a budding branch in Philadelphia, to a national organization with 15 chapters around the country and can now say that the New American Renaissance is underway.
The Philadelphia chapter has designed a program of recognition for individuals and organizations of various sorts who embody Henry's vision of renewal and growth in the classical tradition of America called "The Golden Reed," recalling Henry's seminal book The Golden City.
This year the award went to Lorraine Reisenbach, Director of Artists House Gallery for her successful, commendable work over the years "to introduce, nurture, and mentor outstanding emerging artists in the best of Western tradition." This amazing work from the current exhibition Young Visions.
Still Life by Evan Schukis
In the history of American architecture and the arts, the American Renaissance was the period from 1876–1917 which was characterized by renewed national self-confidence and a feeling that the United States was the heir to Greek democracy, Roman law, and Renaissance humanism. It expressed its self-confidence in new technologies, such as the wire cables of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It found its cultural outlets in both Prairie School houses and in Beaux-Arts architecture and sculpture, in the "City Beautiful" movement, and "also the creation of the American empire." Politically and economically, this era coincides with the Gilded Age.
The classical architecture of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893, was a demonstration that impressed Henry Adams, who wrote that people "would some day talk about Hunt and Richardson, La Farge and Saint-Gaudens, Burnham and McKim and Stanford White when their politicians and millionaires were quite forgotten."
In the dome of the reading room at the Library of Congress, Edwin Blashfield's murals were on the given theme, The Progress of Civilization.
Here is a link to a post I did after visiting the magnificent Library of Congress.
Today's Classical Realism is characterized by love for the visible world and the great traditions of Western art, including Classicism, Realism and Impressionism. The movement's aesthetic is Classical in that it exhibits a preference for order, beauty, harmony and completeness; it is Realist because its primary subject matter comes from the representation of nature based on the artist's observation. Artists in this genre strive to draw and paint from the direct observation of nature, and eschew the use of photography or other mechanical aids. In this regard, Classical Realism differs from the art movements of Photorealism and Hyperrealism. Stylistically, classical realists employ methods used by both Impressionist and Academic artists.
Classical Realist painters have attempted to restore curricula of training that develop a sensitive, artistic eye and methods of representing nature that pre-date Modern Art. They seek to create paintings that are personal, expressive, beautiful, and skillful. Their subject matter includes all of the traditional categories within Western Art: figurative, landscape, portraiture, indoor and outdoor genre and still life paintings.
A central idea of Classical Realism is the belief that the Modern Art movements of the 20th century opposed the tenets and production of traditional art and caused a general loss of the skills and methods needed to produce it. Modernism was antagonistic to art as it was conceived by the Greeks, resurrected in the Renaissance, and carried on by the academies of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Classical Realist artists attempt to revive the idea of art production as it was traditionally understood: mastery of a craft in order to make objects that gratify and ennoble those who see them. This craftsmanship is then applied to drawing, painting or sculpting contemporary subjects which the artist observes in the modern world.

Paul S. Brown, Classical Realist
Jacob Collins (born 1964) is an American realist painter working in New York, NY. He is a leading figure of the contemporary classical art revival.
Fire Island
Interesting article The Contemporary Realist Movement.
"….contemporary realists felt mankind was best served by depicting through art, the qualities in life that unite us as people, rather than the debasement of civilization.
Nothing says more about a culture than the art it idolizes. Art represents what a culture values, what its people think about, and essentially what they deem worth remembering. Art is the representation of a people, encapsulating their essence on every level."
Max Ginsburg, Foreclosure
Promise of Renewal
Self Portrait
"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit, 1887
US abolitionist & clergyman (1813 – 1887)
The Internet has become the most important tool for the realist movement. It allowed the movement to gain serious traction about 10 years ago by linking like-minded people together, enabling them to find each other and promote their thoughts to others.
Through groups such as good GoodArt, the Art Renewal Center (A.R.C.) which was founded as a center for Realism. It became the largest online museum and the only one at that time dedicated to traditional art.
ARC searched out the remaining few atelier schools that still used the training methods of the old masters. Finding only 14 in existence at that time, with less than 200 students, ARC advertised them to the public.
Since that time, the atelier schools have grown dramatically, with more and more created every year. On the Art Renewal website, 72 atelier schools and workshops are now listed, with many times the number of students, and more are out there that are not listed.
Magazines now exist that are dedicated to Realism, such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Plein Air, Artist Advocate, American Arts Quarterly, Art of the West, and others.
Head instructor of the Ani Art Academy Waichulis, Anthony Waichulis, says: "Over the past few years, I have found that applications and program inquiries have increased tenfold. It seems that this ever-growing resurgence in Realism is encouraging new aspiring artists to enthusiastically pursue fundamental skill building on a scale I have not seen before.
"This is truly a wonderful thing, as I believe that effective education is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape the future," he said.
These groups are all united, figuratively if not literally, in their goal to bring realist painting, drawing, and sculpture back to the forefront of contemporary art
The atelier schools are the foundation of the movement. They are the source of the proper training that is denied in most university and college art curriculums.
James Oliver wrote: "I am an artist who has been disenchanted with the art world to such a degree that I have pursued a science education instead. I think this site is the first real indication that the madness is beginning to clear as humankind rediscovers the beautiful."
"As an artist and teacher, I believe that the future will only be possible if we infuse the arts back where they always belonged, at the heart of human education," Jean Corbeil wrote."

The Art of Scagliola for Today
Scagliola has been a mystery outside the decorative arts realm. There are only few people who are familiar with the art of Scagliola, a fascinating and special technique, that uses natural components, managing to render perfectly valuable materials, such as marble, and other natural and semi-precious stones. Today scagliola is becoming a high-end favorite being used for vases, staircases, columns, countertops and table tops. Beautiful blends of pigment and plaster are assuming forms and functions unavailable even to their stone-age ancestors.
Scagliola Columns in the Willard Hotel, Washington, DC
History of Scagliola
The first examples of scagliola were created in Roman times from selenite, which derives from a gypsum stone found in Italy's Appennine Mountains. Italian monks honed the technique in the 17th century.
16th Century Scagliola Tabletop.
In the United States, scagliola was widely used from the mid-1800s to the 1930s, in elaborate churches, capitol buildings and theaters for large columns, wall cladding, pilasters and door surrounds.
Black scagliola door portals
The appeal then as now was the amount of marble demanded for such massive works would have been prohibitively expensive, if available at all. Scagliola looks like natural marble and is just as durable, but it is less expensive and can be formulated in a limitless range of colors and textures. William Millar wrote more than a century ago in Plastering, Plain and Decorative; "Experience has proved that it will last as long as the house it adorns, and with an occasional cleaning, it will always retain its polish and beauty." It is these qualities that have refocused interest in scagliola. Although less expensive than marble, scagliola projects are labor intensive and highly specialized. The finest results demand historical knowledge, technical excellence in fabricating the material, and the trained eye and hand of the decorative artist.
However, all art historians mention that the art of Scagliola was never only used as an economical alternative, in order to replace valuable materials. On the contrary, it has emerged as an extremely valuable art through the centuries, with masterpieces highly appreciated by kings and rulers of that time. Respectively, nowadays the works of Scagliola are highly appreciated as works of great artistic value, as can be seen in galleries, auctions and in the world artistic market in general.

This fireplace is so incredible.

Pietro Bossi
The traditional European technique uses lumps of a doughy mixture with mineral pigment for veinng. More common is the marezzo technique, which employs an almost-liquid mixture and raw silk fiber for veining. Marezzo is sometimes known as American Marezzo because of its popularity in the United States. While the mixture varies for each installation, the process is similar.
Traditional European Technique
Marezzo Technique
First, precise molds of the object are created. Then a basic scagliola recipe is produced. This usually includes some combination of gypsum plaster, hydrostone, Keens cement, and mineral pigments to achieve the desired tint. Artisans then work in the raw silk fiber to create veining and cast the dougly mixture into molds. Once the scagliola has hardened, grinding and polishing begin. Hand polishing takes over several weeks, using water and a fine grade of sandpaper. The surface is buffed with aluminum oxide and coated with a surface-enhancing sealant called carnauba wax for protection.

Josh Chapman
Hey Rich,
No, the lens is not removable.
Decent - But not worth the money
I bought a pair of Spy Dirty Mo's (a style similar to the Griffin) back in May.
What I liked:
Style - these are some of the slickest looking shades I've ever had. I had brown striped style; got lots of comments on them.
What I didn't like:
Dirty!!! (and not just the name). These things are dust and dirt MAGNETS. Very high maintainance; I had to clean mine pretty much every time I put them on. Got irritating after awhile.
Durability - These break at the hinge easily - which is why I ended up returning them.
Nice shades....but not for the asking price of $130!!
(at this price, these Griffins are probably worth it)
Great glasses/shipped as promised
great glasses! to bad they are discontinued...shipped on time, would definitely buy again from back country! thanks.
Joosie D.
All in all, these are good glasses. I'm a teenager and i've got a friend who's over 200 pounds and 6 foot 4 and if you got any friends like that, i don't recommend the chest bump handshake deal we do. Had the glasses hanging from my necklace, probably not a smart idea to begin with, and we did our handshake and the glasses snapped in half on the spot. So just keep 'em safe and other than that they are great glasses.
unfortunately i don't get to cruise sunset blv with these but they still are pretty sick for just about everything else. Fairly light and don't slip off the face even when I'm sweating. Wish they came polarized but you cant have it all. Do feel really nice on the ears and fit a normal or medium sized head. All I need now is a graphic tee and i can be a douche from "the hills"
Chicago Runner
Makes me look younger.
Love 'em. My wife got these for me. Turns out my old glasses made me look dorky. Now I feel really hip and cool.
But I don't recommend them for driving because your peripheral vision is impaired by the earpiece.
Gear Guru Tyson
Smaller than they look
These glasses would be great for someone who has a medium face. I have a larger face and needed something a little bigger to make my slightly larger than normal head look smaller, I also bought the clear mustard which has a creamy look to it in the picture but when I received them they are definitely not cream-mustard, they are see-through honey is how I would describe them, but they are comfy and a stylish shade. If you have a medium face these are for you.

'Family Guy' Writer Prepping Universal Comedy 'Buddymoon'
Scott Stuber and Pam Abdy's Bluegrass Films are on board to produce along with Underground's Trevor Engelson.
Universal is going on a Buddymoon.
The studio has picked up a comedy project with the working title Buddymoon that has Scott Stuber and Pam Abdy's Bluegrass Films on board to produce along with Underground's Trevor Engelson.
Andrew Goldberg, a writer-producer on The Family Guy, is behind the pitch and will pen the script.
The story picks up when a man is dumped on the eve of his nuptials. With an already expensive honeymoon package paid for, the man decides to indulge and asks his best buddy to go on the trip with him. Hijinks ensue.
Buddymoon is inspired by true events experienced by Engelson, who found himself in the buddy role. John Romano, the man who lived the tale and inspired the project, will receive a co-producer credit.
Underground's Josh McGuire will serve as executive producer
Jon Mon, executive vp production at Universal, will oversee the project on behalf of the studio, while Michael Clear will oversee for Bluegrass Films.
Goldberg, repped by WME and McGuire of Underground Management, also wrote the 2011 Black List script The Wedding Day, which is set up at CBS Films.

Forget local history books that don't fully account for a civil war and other setbacks that ruined the country and follow the money in Lebanon's tortuous slide from "Switzerland of the Middle East" to dysfunctional entity par excellence.
World Refugee Day, held each year on June 20th, honors the resilience, courage and determination of more than 50 million refugees forced to flee their homeland under the threat of persecution and violence.
The political capital invested by the Obama administration and the Rouhani government gives us good reasons to be not only "cautiously optimistic" but "optimistic" regarding the Iranian nuclear crisis.
As rebel forces advance towards the mountainous Druze stronghold in Idlib province, Israel has to decide whether it should intervene in the Syrian civil war by arming the Druze while Saudi Arabia is faced with the choice between realpolitik and its religious doctrine which views the Druze as heretics.
Last week I returned from Lebanon. There, I met several teachers and school leaders, sat in on lessons and witnessed a school work double time - literally early morning and late afternoon - to make room for Syrian refugee children.
If there is one film that changed my life, it's Nadine Labaki's Caramel. It is the kind of movie I can watch again and again, and still find hidden within it new gems of wisdom and insights.
That's his nickname, acquired being first on the scene to shoot the effects of booby-trapped cars during his native Lebanon's civil war.
The governments of Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have for many years funded anti-Shia political and military movements in the Middle East without any substantial resistance from the international community.
BEIRUT -- Saudi Arabia and its allies effectively wanted to inject hydraulic fracturing fluid (radical Salafists) into eastern Syria in order to fracture the bridge between Iran and its Arab allies. But at what cost?
Many Syrian war refugees are getting help in the form of a card that looks very much like the debit one you may have. It's called an electronic card, or e-card. The UN World Food Programme, the largest hunger relief organization, distributes these to needy families.
While on the surface our mental health awareness work in Lebanon looks like an innovation, it's more like a reclamation -- since the first mental hospitals in the world appeared in the Middle East.
It's a rare and remarkable event when a government broadcasts ahead of time its intent to commit war crimes. Yet that's just what senior Israeli military officials recently did in the pages of The New York Times.
When author, poet, and painter Gibran Khalil Gibran wrote about his Lebanon at the age of thirty-seven, he had been in exile for twelve years. The country he knew was probably long gone, though of coure, he would never find that out; he only returned to his native village, Becharre, to be buried there in 1931.
A de facto peacenik who was horrified by the prospect of needless war, Reagan likely would have been appalled by the aggressive posturing of most of the Republicans currently seeking the White House.
Toss some hot political issues, mix in religious extremism, factor some ethical considerations and blend in innovation to produce the most sought-after ticket in Arab media events.
Some 12.2 million people, more than half of the population, are estimated to need humanitarian assistance. A similar number have been displaced -- between 6.5 million and 7.8 million -- within Syria, and three to four million have been displaced on to neighboring states.

Nostradamus' "Hister" was clearly a foretelling of Lister. It's eerie how he knew about Red Dwarf hundreds of years before television was even invented!
The problem here isn't Bob and Alice -- that part of the scenario is working fine. The problem is Bob and Carol. There's no incentive for Bob not to make false claims against Carol. That's the bit that has to be fixed.
Bob, Carol, and Alice get along much better when Ted is added to the mix.
I'm gonna pay a whole lot of attention to that, for sure.
... but the number of TV subscribers keeps going down. If they're claiming victory, I'd say it's a Phyrric one - but really, I'm not seeing it.
On the other hand, if they're doubling capacity, then you only need half the number of cycles
I'm pretty sure I saw an episode of Red Dwarf where they made a similar trade off... It ended up with Lister playing pool with planets.
Don't be like Lister.
It's good news for Google and their advertisers - fewer unwanted clicks means lower payouts.
I'm not sure whether it's anything but neutral for end users. I don't think Google's ads are the ones with the tiny little close buttons that induce false clicks - THOSE are rather irritating. But if Google really wanted to benefit end users, they'd start screening their ad content more rigorously.
It seems like we hear this every time a new version of Windows is out (or about to come out): "Yes, $PREV_VERSION had this problem, and you are ignorant and silly for running it! $CURRENT_VERSION solves all these problems!"
And I'm sure a few years, when it turns out Windows 10 has the same issues, we'll be hearing it again.
Yes, they should just accept their neighborhoods being trashed by naked, drunken idiots. Where do they think they live, some prudish town in the U.S.?
If you can't quantify something that should be readily quantifiable, then it's probably not there - no matter how much some PHB might wish it to be true.
With five people all interrupting each other and all trying to get their ideas heard, it likely means none of them are putting anything past a cursory amount of thought into the work. I can easily believe a group like this would actually be less productive than a single person coding alone.

So is the average duration of a job search 35 years? 35 minutes? 35 seconds? 35 months?
No, they're having the box checked by default - you have to absolutely ask them to not shit on your floor.

What I like about it most is that I can record on one medium while watching playback from the other. I particularly like the fact that it has the ability to choose the highest rate of speed to record on DVD based on what you have stacked up in memory to record. That way one always gets the best picture given the amount of time needed to record the program(s). 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful Picture In HD Written By Steven, Houston, Tx. on Monday, September 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Is An Awesome Product For The Price, And The Quality Of The Picture Is Awesome!! The Built-In Tuner Gives You The Best Picture In High-Definition. 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Top PRODUCT: BEST Service Written By Ronald, Brooklyn, NY on Sunday, July 13, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Although I reside, somewhat "far away," I have been happily ordering from CRUTCHFIELD.COM for over a score. There really IS a difference; That is why I keep returning! There IS more to an electronics item than (solely) its price and warranty. Admittedly, I, as well as most, I guess, wish to get the best products for the LOWEST price: Who, HONESTLY, doesn't?!~? Moreover, most people, upon deciding on a e-tailer, do NOT bother to consider if // how // whether the e-merchant will "stand behind" their product(s). The issue is, therefore, 10-1+% solved by always purchasing top name products, directly at cructchfield.com: This is my FOURTH Sony RDR-VXDD 655 combo DVD // VHS recorder // plauyer // tuner: NONE were purchased, or exchanged, for product // service mal-functiuon: Rather; with four HDTVs, also all e-purchased at crutchfield.com, I would NEVER think of e-purchasing at any other e-tailer. You may, indeed, blame ME, for this product currently being listed as: "Out of Stock;" as I gobbled 'em up' as soon as CRUTCHFIELD received them from SONY! I recommend both this PRODUCT, and, of more paramount, the CRUTCHFIELD *service*. After 20 years, they REMAIN un-beatable. RON 9 out of 33 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony RDR-VXD655 Written By Chuck, Dothan, AL. on Saturday, January 19, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I believe that Sony produces are outstanding but I'm having some difficulty getting a good picture using the tuner only. The picture performance playing a movie disc is outstanding in my opinion, but as mentioned previously, I'm disappointed with the tuner performance. Crutchfield service technicians are extremely helpful and they are replacing this unit when it becomes available. 52 out of 60 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great way to go digital Written By Robert, Columbia, SC on Monday, October 01, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) With the conversion from analog to digital TV signals to be completed by 2009, I wanted to extend the life of my 5-year old analog set. I had read that some of the newer digital recorders have tuners in them, enabling them to function as the converter box that will eventually be required when the signal switch is complete. Moreover, the recorder will still be useful when the analog TV is replaced with a HDTV. Since I did not have a digital recorder, that would be another benefit. The VXD655 turned up during my search. Since my TV is a Sony, I thought it would be a good match. This DVD/VCR recorder combo also would enable me to get rid of my old tape player and save space. The recorder has exceeded my expectations. I had been receiving a very good quality picture with a modest roof-top antenna, but going digital really kicked the quality up a notch or two it terms of more accurate colors and picture sharpness. I am fortunate in that all of the local over-the-air signals come from the same direction, the transmission towers all being clustered on a high spot about 15 miles from my home. I do have an antenna rotator but do not have to touch it. I am receiving all the local stations with great quality plus some secondary channels the stations operate. With the resulting high quality of my TV picture, there is no reason to hurry into getting a high def. DVD and VCR recording and playback are accomplished easily, and there are several recording quality or duration choices. The unit handles Rewrite DVDs and I am using them much as one would use a hard drive. The recorder also provides for easy dubbing back and forth between tapes and disks. Setup was painless. A quick start guide is included. I do recommend spending a few bucks extra for an s-video hookup cable if your TV provides an outlet. If there is a downside, it is the remote control. The buttons seem to require much more pressure to activate them than the two older Sony remotes that I have. Consequently, I find it frequently necessary to give the remote control a second squeeze.

Like all new markets or applications, Twitter has early adopters to be followed by the early majority and late majority of the market. This is not guaranteed, so it will be interesting to see if Twitter can break out of the current usage patterns. I thought this was compelling data.
From Sysomos -
Over the past few months, Twitter has experienced explosive growth, attracting celebrity users such as Oprah, and a growing mountain of media and blog coverage. Sysomos Inc., one of the world's leading social media analytics companies, conducted an extensive study to document Twitter's growth and how people are using it. After analyzing information disclosed on 11.5 million Twitters accounts, we discovered that:
- 72.5% of all users joining during the first five months of 2009.
- 85.3% of all Twitter users post less than one update/day
- 21% of users have never posted a Tweet
- 93.6% of users have less than 100 followers, while 92.4% follow less than 100 people.
- 5% of Twitter users account for 75% of all activity
- New York has the most Twitters users, followed by Los Angeles, Toronto, San Francisco and Boston; while Detroit was the fast-growing city over the first five months of 2009
- More than 50% of all updates are published using tools, mobile and Web-based, other than Twitter.com. TweetDeck is the most popular non-Twitter.com tool with 19.7% market share.
- There are more women on Twitter (53%) than men (47%)
- Of the people who identify themselves as marketers, 15% follow more than 2,000 people. This compares with 0.29% of overall Twitter users who follow more than 2,000 people.
"We wanted to take an extensive snapshot of Twitter that goes far beyond anything done to document Twitter's use, growth and demographics," said Nick Koudas, Sysomos' co-founder and chief executive. "While Twitter's growth has been well documented, we wanted to put the spotlight on how people use Twitter, as well as identify many of the key trends in their backgrounds, demographics and activity. Our study, based on the most comprehensive dataset of Twitter users, provides a wealth of information for anyone interested in getting in-depth details about Twitter."
"We have a tagline - "Power in the API Economy." What that means is everything that is built in applications and connected applications is done through APIs," explained Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice President at Akana, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 16th Cloud Expo, held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City.

Jude Law doesn't show any sign of missing a step despite all the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Scottish whisky he drinks in Jake Scott's new short film, "The Gentleman's Wager," which co-stars Giancarlo Giannini.
Written by Mike Byrne and Dave Douglas, the six-minute film revolves around Law's character wanting to win a rare 1928 luxury yacht by learning an elaborately choreographed dance.
It's yet to be determined whether Law can sell bottles of whisky, but his involvement will certainly help put a spotlight on the Johnnie Walker brand that hasn't received this much attention by Hollywood since it was praised by an alcoholic character in a still memorable scene in NBC's "The West Wing," in 2001.
The son of Ridley Scott, Jake Scott is best known for directing commercials and music videos for Soundgarden, the Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, No Doubt, Tori Amos and George Michael.

Some X-15 flights had to make emergency landings at more remote lakebeds in California and Nevada. How did they get those aircraft back to Edwards? Did they use flatbed trailers? Was there a special trailer built for that purpose?

By the way, this book is fabulous and a great reference for all things X-15.

Dennis Jenkins has another one that is more technical but truly the bible for X-15 info.

I noticed that Google sets the expiration of its HTML to a date in the past:
Expires Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00
How do I configure .htaccess to do this? I use
ExpiresByType to set the expiration of my other resources, but they are all future times (e.g.
access plus 10 years). Any suggestions on how to set it for the past? Thanks.

But in spite their differences, they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other.
