"As I've progressed in my career, I've come to appreciate — and really value — the other attributes that define a company's success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making." - Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO
When Burns joined Xerox in 1980 as a mechanical engineering summer intern, the company was the leader in the global photocopying market. As she later assumed roles in product development and planning, the company was securing its leadership position in digital document technologies. From 1992 through 2000, Burns, at a pivotal point in the company's history, led several business teams including the company's color business and office network printing business.
In 2000, Burns was named senior vice president, Corporate Strategic Services, heading up manufacturing and supply chain operations. Alongside then-CEO Anne Mulcahy, Burns worked to restructure Xerox through its turnaround to emerge as a leader in color technology and document services. A key factor in the company's turnaround was its research and development of new products and technologies, and at the time Burns was responsible for leading Xerox's global research as well as product development, marketing and delivery. In April 2007, Burns was named president of Xerox, expanding her leadership to also include the company's IT organization, corporate strategy, human resources, corporate marketing and global accounts. At that time, she was also elected a member of the company's Board of Directors.
Burns was named chief executive officer in July 2009 and shortly after, made the largest acquisition in Xerox history, the $6.4 billion purchase of Affiliated Computer Services, catapulting the company's presence in the almost $600 billion business services market and extending the company's reach into diverse areas of business process and IT outsourcing. Xerox is on track to have two-thirds its revenue come from Services by 2017.
On May 20, 2010, Burns became chairman of the company, leading the more than 140,000 people of Xerox who serve clients in more than 180 countries. Building on Xerox's legacy of innovation, they're enabling workplaces — from small businesses to large global enterprises — to simplify the way work gets done so they can focus more on their core business.
Burns earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of NYU and a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from Columbia University.
In addition to the Xerox board, she is a board director of the American Express Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation and the Ford Foundation. In June 2015, U.S. President Barack Obama appointed Burns chair of the President's Export Council. Burns was previously vice chair of the President's Export Council, appointed March 2010. Burns also provides leadership counsel to community, educational and non-profit organizations including FIRST - (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), National Academy Foundation, MIT, and the U.S. Olympic Committee, among others. She is a founding board director of Change the Equation, which focuses on improving the U.S.'s education system in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Carmen Purtell Nesbit was born July 3, 1923 in Lockesburg, AR, to O.N. "Bill" Purtell and Annie Belle Shinn Purtell. She lost her mother at a very early age, and her dad married Inez Alexander Purtell. Inez, "Little Mama" raised Carmen and her brother, Wayne. Carmen graduated from Antlers High School, Antlers. She was a dedicated member of The Church of Christ; the Church, as well as her Christianity, were of utmost importance to her. Carmen married Leroy "Perk" Nesbit on April 6, 1943 in Windsor Locks, CT. Following WWII Carmen and Perk moved back to Hugo, his home town, and they lived out their lives here. Perk preceded Carmen in death on March 24, 2008. She worked almost thirty years at the Choctaw County Courthouse; she was in the Assessor's Office and had a keen understanding of the land in Choctaw County.

Carmen was a Christian, a homemaker, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was creative with her sewing, cooking, flowers and gardening. She appreciated her family and friends, and she loved Hugo and its history. Family and genealogy were very important to her. Carmen had strong convictions, but she was never pushy; she would always listen to others, and she genuinely cared about people. She was sincere, never "gushy", just as solid as a rock. She could say a lot in just a few words. She was our tower of strength! Carmen is survived by one brother, Wayne Purtell, of Curtis, WA, and one brother-in-law Jim Nesbit of Surprise, AZ, one son, Jim Nesbit and his wife Deanna of Hugo, one daughter, Linda Nesbit Copeland and her husband Wiley of Hugo, four grandchildren, Bryan Copeland and wife Arlinda of Antlers, Clark Copeland and wife Samantha of Hugo, Michael Nesbit and wife Jennifer of Hugo, and one special granddaughter, Michelle Nesbit. "Mammy" is survived by nine great-grandchildren: Taylor Copeland, Conner Copeland, Lexi Copeland, our twins, Ben and Bryn Copeland, Lukas Nesbit, Jehma Nesbit, Carson Nesbit and Carmen Adelynn "Addie"-Mother's namesake.

Closer and closer...
I used Microsoft Visio to draft this case design. It is now closer to being finished I believe this is fairly close, probably "close enough" to the original that I'm imitating. You will observe that when I lay my line drawing over the "factory" photo, it almost perfectly matches up
I have some tool steel rod (o1 I think) that I am going to use to build the actual reamer. I need to compute the size for the chamber. I will make a chamber casting of a 7.62x39 chamber and compare that to the line drawings of 7.62x39 cartridges in all my reloading manuals. I will compare that to the 7.62x39 reload sizing die to verify the difference in sizes.
Actually now that I hink about it, I may pull out my other country builds - Hungarian, Yugo, Romy, and Chinese, to get an average size between them.
That SHOULD give me a really close idea of how much larger the chamber needs to be. As discussed on recent threads, I think this will be .003" larger. It would be less if it were a match chamber, but according to the reamer design info I've found on the web, I think .003" is a good number that will provide reliable operation in a semi.
This diagram is incomplete - I still need to insert the diameters at the neck.
The more I look at it, I think brass will be tricky. I'm not sure if 7.62x39 can be fireformed and keep that large of a neck. Ditto for PPC brass. I may be able to use Grendel brass because this will be longer than a Grendel.
I originally set the shoulder at 30 degrees. I was surprised to see that the shoulder angle is still 17 degrees, just like an AK. It certainly LOOKS steeper, I was guessing 25-30 degrees, but the angle tool indicates it is right at 17. MAYBE 20, but I don't have a better picture to work at. I'm still undecided on whether to keep it at 17. Now that I think about it, my 7.62x39 headspace gauges may work if I keep it at 17 but I need to look more closely.
That big bullet takes up a bunch of room on the powder, huh? I wonder if they use a "compressed" load?
You saw it here first!

Little Dixie CASA® schedules volunteer orientation
If the tragic stories of abused and neglected children have broken your heart repeatedly, it may be time to take a positive step and make a real difference in a child's life. Little Dixie Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program is offering volunteer training for all individuals wanting to become a child advocate.
Volunteers will complete 30 hours of specialized training and juvenile court observations as well as undergo background checks and an extensive screening interview. Once trained, the judge swears in volunteers as advocates for abused and neglected children. CASAs gather information by contacting the child and everyone involved in the child's life, including family, DHS, attorneys and other professionals. They are able to make well-informed recommendations to the court regarding the child's best interest and provide additional pertinent information that helps the judge make important decisions that affect the child. CASA volunteers look forward to helping children by seeing that they are in a safe, permanent home and replacing their world of fear with one of hope.
A Volunteer Orientation for all individuals who are interested in becoming a child advocate will be held on Tuesday, August 23rd from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Program coordinator, Dawn Standridge will be on hand at the Little Dixie Family Service Center at 603 S.W. "B" Street in Antlers to talk about CASA training & child advocacy. Training will begin in September. For more information, please contact Little Dixie CASA at 298-2921. You can also contact the program at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You have the power to help make a difference in a child's life.

A founding father do-over
I do not own a firearm or plan on ever doing so.However, I support the 2nd Amendment and the rights to have firearms. With all of the recent controversy I have given much thought to the 2nd and its meaning. Unlike some paranoid individuals who feel that the 2nd was put in the Constitution to prevent government from invading our homes, taking our weapons, and enslaving society, I believe the Founding Fathers had a much different agenda.
After the Revolutionary War, the militia was disbanded and sent home. There was no standing army and yet there were threats to our countryborders. If a need arose that required a militia, they had only to conscript men who were already armed to form a new army. When the 2nd was written with this in mind, the writers also realized that the only weapons available were single shot, black powder and flint, metal ball muskets and pistols.
Today, imagine that the original founding fathers were tasked with writing the 2nd Amendment with the full knowledge of the history of the past 200-plus years. I will pose 3 possible scenarios.
1. Amendment stands as originally written.
2. Amendment eliminated because it isnt necessary today.
3. Amendment is rewritten allowing citizens to own hand guns, rifles, and shotguns. However all military ordinance, including firearms, ammunition, grenades, missiles, land mines, etc. are unnecessary and illegal for private citizens to own.
I believe that some variation of No. 3 would be enacted, especially when I hear the rampant paranoia of a few people that advocate having these weapons. It is scary, but fortunately those very bright Founding Fathers who got it right would surely get it right again to fit the current times.

The Masters inspires devotion in many, whether it is of legendary Amen Corner, the azaleas bursting forth with magnificent color, the inexpensive pimento cheese sandwiches, or of the players themselves. One such devotee is Steve Hale.
Friday's round of tournament play will mark the Aiken resident's 59th consecutive Masters. He hasn't missed a Sunday since 1978.
That was the Sunday Gary Player shot a 65, overcoming a 7-stroke deficit to win the tournament by one stroke.
Hale remembers it like it was yesterday. In fact, he can remember many highlights of his years of Masters attendance.
"It is just the most first-rate event on earth," he said.
Hale's father first bought badges to the storied tournament in the 1950s for $25 a piece. The tournament didn't draw nearly the number of patrons then as it does now, and the Augusta National was struggling financially, so the area Chamber of Commerce launched a badge-buying campaign, according to Hale.
The Hale family has since made The Masters a tradition.
"It's as big as Christmas for my family," he said.
The family likes to think of themselves as the "Make-A-Wish Masters Foundation." They are often able to supply a person or two with badges whose lifelong wish it is to attend the tournament.
"When they come to the door to get the badges, they're so excited," Hale said. "We just love doing that."
Sometimes it has a been a father-and-son pairing. Twice now, Hale has returned to Augusta National with a son to scatter the father's ashes.
Palmetto Golf Club Pro Emeritus Tom Moore understands the fascination with the tournament.
"It's almost a religious experience. It's so special, the history and tradition. It's like going into the Vatican instead of a local church," he said.

We have all heard and been touched by the story of the heavily armed man that walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut on Friday, December 14th, and opened fire. Within minutes, 26 people were dead at the school, 20 of them children and 6 adults.
Monday night while trying to remove a dead dear from the roadway, that had been killed in an earlier accident, Marie Hilburn's vehicle was struck from behind.
Hilburn, 39 year old female of Spencerville, had been traveling east on HWY 3 in Rattan when she stopped her vehicle in the road to remove the deer. Hilburn's Ford pickup was hit from behind by a 2005 Mazda that was being driven by Janice Rose Headrick, a 60 year old female from McAlester.
A General Contractors lunch was held at the ODOT Division 2 Headquarters on Friday, Dec. 14th, to show their appreciation to the hard working men and women that help repair and maintain our roadways and bridges.
"This is our way of saying Thanks to all the guys and gals who work so hard to maintain and build our roadways," said Bobby Steem, the director of the Association of Oklahoma General Contractors. "As contractors we just want to do the job right and give the tax payers what they deserve and pay for."
It began with an unsolicited and unexpected telephone call from a Sawyer native by the name of Albert Shirley who is employed as a Construction Manager for Flint Energy Services Ltd., "a leading provider of engineering, construction and technical services for public agencies and private sector companies around the world". Mr. Shirley contacted Little Dixie Community Action Agency's (LDCAA) Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program director, Mrs. Karla Luginbill.
By now we have all heard and been touched by the story of the heavily armed man that walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut on Friday and opened fire.
Within minutes, 26 innocent people were dead at the school, 20 of them children ages 6 and 7.
The shooter, identified by three law enforcement officials as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also was killed, apparently by his own hand. Separately, his mother's body was found at a Newtown residence.
1. Most of Santa's reindeer have male-sounding names, such as Blitzer, Comet, and Cupid. However, male reindeers shed their antlers around Christmas, so the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are likely not male, but female.
2. Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph's red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.
3. The Germans made the first artificial Christmas trees out of dyed goose feathers.
4. All the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas would equal 364 gifts.
Fudge Crinkles:
You will need: 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box devil's food cake mix (Betty Crocker Super Moist suggested), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar, for rolling.
An old tradition has been resurrected and has made it's first appearance in over 20 years for this holiday season.
The tree is located at the end of south High Street in front of the court house and will be decorated with ornaments that were made by area elementary school children.
The tree lighting is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 14th at 6:30 p.m.
Last Tuesday night as the crowd filled the Antlers High School gymnasium the Lady Cats took the home court for the first time of the season. The Lady Cats came prepared to play and at the end of the first quarter the score was Antlers with a small lead at 16 points-Boswell 12, the Lady Scorpions were not going to quit and by the half had closed the lead to 1, as it was 27-26.
On December 6th, 7th and 8th, the Bearcats traveled to Talihina to participate in the Choctaw Nation Invitational Tournament.
The first round of play we were set to play Central, who would prove to be a team to beat as they would go on to play Rattan in the Championship round. Central won against the Bearcats with a final score of 58-59.
In the Second Round of play they were matched with the Wister Wildcats and with a 63-55 victory for the Bearcats, they advanced into the 3rd Round of play for Consolation.

Comments about Tradesman 6.0 Amp Hand Planer Kit:
This planer works very well. Manufactory set up is very precision-at the end of the planing is no skip and blades are set even. Is light and has rubber handle-important when you shaving side way. Easy to set up depth of blades and comfortable to adjust the planing depth. Almost 0.5" of maximum rabbit depth. Fast stop after release trigger. Spring support holding planer up is located very interesting and functional. Good feature-control cheeps direction and bag available to use. Also is available to connect with vacuum.
Prise of this tool is very cheep. Compare with other companies and features-THIS IS GREAT DEAL
One thing I will suggest for Porter Cable-make caring case smaller. In my opinion this thing can be smaller. Now is easy to load planer and other things but storage room is matter also.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Oct. 9, 2012) - The New Mexico State women's golf team sits in ninth place after two rounds of their home tournament, the Price's "Give Em' Five" Intercollegiate, which is being played at the New Mexico State University Golf Course.
The Aggies shot a 16-over-par 304 on Tuesday, giving them a two-round total score of 603 (299-304).
"Originally I was kind of disappointed with the effort today, but then started thinking on how much we've improved throughout the semester," head coach Jackie Booth said. "Yesterday's round was the best round of the semester and today's was the third-best round of the semester, we're taking baby steps and getting there and looking to put three good rounds together."
Freshman Kacey Dalpes and junior Amelie Buhl each shot a 3-over-par 75 during the second round, the low round of the day for the Aggie squad.
Dalpes, who was in second place after the first round, will enter the final round in a tie for seventh with a total score of 1-over-par 145 (70-75). She finished with four birdies on Tuesday, most for any Aggie golfer in a round this season and will start the final round five shots back of the lead.
Among the rest of the Aggie team, sophomore Laura Barron matched her first-round score and has a two-round total of 8-over-par 152 (76-76), which puts her in a tie for 34th. Buhl (78-75) and senior Aileen Meredith (75-78) are tied for 37th with a 9-over-par 153 while sophomore Paige Darwin sits in a tie for 67th after posting a two-day total of 16-over-par 160 (79-81).
Junior Meike Canan leads the NM State golfers playing as individuals with a two-round total of 11-over-par 155 (77-78) putting her in a tie for 51st. Senior Marisa Bautista is in a tie for 67th with a total score of 16-over-par 160 (81-79) and senior Cheryl Lo sits in 74th place with a 22-over-par 166 (84-82).
Overall, Kansas, who finished the first round four shots behind the lead, will head into the final round with a three-shot lead over Colorado State. The Jayhawks and Rams each shot a 1-over-par 289 on Tuesday, the low round for the day. Kansas heads into the final round with a total score of 7-over-par 583 (294-289), while Colorado State has a total score of 10-over-par 586 (297-289). Idaho, who led after the first round, sits in third overall with an 11-over-par 587 (290-297).
Individually, Yupaporn Kawinpakorn of Kansas, who led Dalpes by one stroke after the first round, will go into the final round with a two-shot lead over Colorado State's Emily Roering. Kawinpakorn and Roering were the only two players to shoot under par during the second round and are the only two players to have a total score under par heading into the final round. Kawinpakorn will start the final round at 4-under-par 140 (69-71), while Roering will start at 2-under-par 142 (71-71).
The final round of the Price's "Give Em' Five" Intercollegiate will be played on Wednesday (Oct. 10) with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. (MT). For a recap and final team and individual results of the tournament log on to NMStateSports.com or follow the action live with live scoring at GolfStat.com.

...Once Upon a time there was a very grumpy man. He worked in a job he hated, working for 'the man' doing meaningless tasks that crushed his soul and soured his mood. He left his job, packed his bags and travelled across the Atlantic in search of mountains covered in the freshest snow. For months he snowboarded every day, loving being in the mountains and loving his life. But, all good things must come to an end. With tears in his eyes and a pain in his heart he returned to his homeland. With no work and little money a decision had to be made. To go back to work for the corporate monster was not a possibility this enlightened man could face, and so with balls of steel (and a ridiculously supportive wife) he sold his house, moved in with his parents and used the money to build his dream - a Snowboard Shop where he could stock his favourite brands and meet likeminded snowboarders.
The result? Eight winters on, and still going strong, We are an independently owned and run snowboard shop that stocks rad brands at decent prices. ALL of the staff are snowboarders so we have first hand experience in the equipment we stock and extensive knowledge about what could work best for your next trip to the mountains. We product test all of our snowboards twice a year in France and Austria and write reviews for the UK's premier snowboard magazines - The Reason and Whitelines.
On top of all this, we keep our prices fair and always try and price match other UK Stores.

Wind: 0 mph
By Pierson Booher
I would just like to take the time to extend my gratitude to all that have called and emailed me since the horrific incident here at Virginia Tech on Monday morning. I am writing this a short while after returning from the Convocation held this afternoon (Tuesday) at Cassell Coliseum, a gathering that, while emotionally taxing, was a strong reminder of the pride within the "Hokie Nation." We are a school of 26,000 students, only 20 or so of which are from Vermont, but spread well across the globe. The images the world has seen over the past few days are difficult for many of us to watch at this point; the chaos that took place has tainted our views of this once pristine and pure environment.

Sudden Infant Death (SID) Center
The death of a child is devastating for families and communities. When the death is sudden and unexpected, survivors also are traumatized. The grief following a sudden death can be even more intense and prolonged. Parents and many others are deeply affected.
The Minnesota Sudden Infant Death Center at Children's is a statewide program that provides information, counseling, and support to anyone experiencing a sudden and unexpected infant death from any cause. In addition, the Center, in keeping with its original mission, continues to be Minnesota's resource for information on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and SIDS risk reduction.
The Minnesota SID Center conducts training and educational programs for health care providers, child care workers, and other professional and community groups. The Center tracks infant mortality trends in Minnesota and participates in local, state, and national initiatives to reduce the risk of sudden, unexpected infant death.
The Minnesota SID Center is a partnership between Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Health. More about Minnesota SID Center

Keith Ziegenhorn and Frank Seitz were honored by Georgetown County Council on Tuesday as the Volunteers of the Year.
Ziegenhorn, a firefighter-EMT with the County Fire/EMS department, was named Employee Volunteer of the Year.
Seitz, who works in the fire inspectors office at Midway Fire Rescue, was named Volunteer of the Year.
Ziegenhorn moved here from Iowa when he was hired by County Fire/EMS in April 2011.
Its been a great job ever since, he said.
Earlier this year, Ziegenhorn came up with idea of selling T-shirts to raise money to send kids to Camp Can Do, a residential camp for kids ages 6-17 who have suffered serious burns.
Ziegenhorn got the idea after responding to several calls last year where children had been burned.
The thought of his young daughter, Isabella, safe at home was always on his mind.
That kind of weighed pretty heavy on my heart, he said.
T-shirt sales and donations totaled $1,500.
The fundraiser was one of the reasons Ziegenhorn won his award.
Its always an honor when your peers look at you and say you did a good job, he said.
Ziegenhorn has wanted to be a firefighter since he was a little boy,
His wife, Breanna, is an EMT for Marion County EMS.
Ziegenhorn said its nice that theyre in the same professional because they understand each others jobs.
The T-shirt sale gave Ziegenhorn a chance to do some public outreach, which is one of his favorite parts of his job.
He wants to make sure people are comfortable around firefighters.
Seitz grew up in Pennsylvania, and traces his love of firefighting back to his childhood when his uncle was a volunteer firefighter.
He became a firefighter in 1960, but before joining Midway, he had never worked for a paid department.
Seitz, was humbled and accepted his award on behalf of all the volunteers of Georgetown County.
Im a guy who likes to be part of things but doesnt like the attention, he said. [Volunteering has] just been a wonderful experience.
Seitz and his wife, Nancy, retired to Litchfield from New Jersey seven years ago.
He files all of Midways fire reports and takes care of the building pre-plans, which give firefighters the information they need about a structure, so they know what theyre walking into.
In his mid-60s when he arrived on the Waccamaw Neck, Seitz was hoping to work for Midway for at least five years.
Seven years later he has no plans to stop.
As long as they put up with me I doubt that theyll put me out to pasture.

Sometimes it is important to reflect back on activities and achievements of the past year in order to focus on the road ahead. 2009 was a year full of "firsts" and exciting announcements for GoGrid and I thought that I would quickly summarize and highlight a some blog posts of interest.
I have personally enjoyed documenting our achievements, analyzing trends, reviewing opportunities, showcasing new clients and partners as well as musing about Cloud Computing in general. Much of the writing on the GoGrid blog during 2009 was my own, however, the people who have helped provide me inspiration are countless, ranging from those within GoGrid to others creating the cloud community at large.
The journey through 2009 has definitely been an exciting one. Looking back on 2009 should make all users, creators and consumers of the cloud very proud. We have done a tremendous amount in 2009! So without further ado, below are a few selected posts of interest from the GoGrid blog for each month during 2009.
January 2009
- "Cloudcenters Are Datacenters In The Sky" – in this post, Randy Bias outlines his vision of what the "cloudcenter" meme truly is and how it is unique
- "Building A House In The Cloud – Cloudcenters Vs. Infrastructure Web Services" – in this post, I tried to simplify some of the differences between our new term of "cloudcenter" and "infrastructure web services" using a comparison to building a house.
- "GoGrid Releases API Specification To The Cloud Computing Community Under Creative Commons License" – GoGrid released our Application Programming Interface (API) under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 License which allows users to share, distribute, display and make derivative works based on our API
- "New Windows Server 2003 & 2008 Images Added To GoGrid" – we continued to build out our Windows Server 2003 and 2008 image offering as the first to market with Windows Server 2008 in the Cloud
- All January posts are here

It turned out great. My babies were the same way. I remember trying to finish my masters thesis in between nursing. It felt like I was just getting going when he'd need to eat again. Hang in there.

I'm a milkin' mama, too. What makes it reallllly special is that my husband actually grew up on a dairy farm, so the cow jokes are plentiful 'round here. Mooooooooo!

I LOVE this quilt so much that I am making a similar one right now! I am adding another row to include purples so it has all of the colors of the rainbow. Can't wait to get it all put together! :) Good luck with your hungry little one! Nursing is such a great way to bond with your baby (not to mention SOO much cheaper than formula!) but it can definitely wear you down after a while since no one else can do the feeding so you can sleep. Hang in there and enjoy the sewing while you have some help- I found when my last baby was tiny that even though I was sleep deprived all the time when I did get the energy to make/sew something it really lifted my spirits! :)

- Thriftin and Craftin said...
I'm almost done with my first zig zag quilt top. As far as quilting, do you just quilt along the edges of the zig zags? What did you use to keep it even and uniform? Did you use the foot as a guide? Did you have to use a walking foot? It looks beautiful. After all this work, I don't want to mess up my quilting.

Letters to Afar
Museum of the History of Polish Jews
May 18 – September 30, 2013
Video installation by Péter Forgács with music by The Klezmatics, commissioned by the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York
The audiovisual installation Letters to Afar is based on home movies made by Jewish immigrants from the United States visiting their hometowns in Poland during the 1920s and 30s. Filming for their families back in America, they recorded relatives and friends in their daily surroundings, capturing unique moments that allow the viewer to be at once "there" and "now." These films also provide a glimpse of the autonomy and richness of Jewish life in interwar Poland—a snapshot of the diversity of school, youth, self-help and cultural organizations that existed even in the smallest towns. This broad social panorama can be discerned best in the films made by members of American landsmanshaftn, organizations of immigrant Jews from the same locality that often tried to organize help for their former communities in Poland.
Returning to these amateur films by Jewish travelers several decades later, Hungarian artist Péter Forgács, who specializes in working with archival film material (found footage), rewrites these "visual postcards," filtering them through his artistic sensibility and practice with a new addressee in mind: the 21st century museum visitor. Warsaw, Vilna, Lodz, Kaluszyn, Kamionka, Kolbuszowa, Nowogrodek, Osmiany, Krakow, and Kurow are all film landscapes from the past that become settings in which the action, although recorded long ago, is played out inside the gallery. Like the original filmmakers, who most eagerly recorded their kin, Forgács is above all interested in the behavior of people—their looks, gestures, and mutual interactions. From these films, he selectively cuts out frames that he then replays at different speeds (often in slow motion), breaking the images up into triptych and frieze compositions that are synchronized to a new soundtrack, the core of which is music specially composed for the installation by the New York band The Klezmatics. The music, which combines traditional Jewish motifs with an evocative, minimalist form, is also accompanied by captions (composed of quotes from memoirs, letters, and literature) that direct the viewer's attention. Employing these devices, Forgács paraphrases the efforts of the original filmmakers, who often added their own oral commentary to the silent footage during private screenings of their films.
Inviting the visitor to a rereading of these "letters" from the past, Letters to Afar avoids constructing a great historical narrative, but instead tries to penetrate the private world of people from a different place and time. These films show prewar life, not only in its documentary and historical aspect, but also in its existential dimension, seeking to establish a connection between the world filmed and those to whom the films are addressed.
Letters to Afar will premiere at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw on May 18, 2013. Plans to travel the installation to other locations are now under discussion.

Péter Forgács is a Budapest based filmmaker and video artist. His films and installations are created from archival amateur films (found footage) shot in 20th-century Europe. His main interest is the tension between official and private history and between the historical and existential dimensions. The artist represented Hungary at the 53rd Venice Biennale, showing the work Col Tempo. The W Project, a piece that reviled the oppressive aspect of film and photography by using material from the private archives of a Nazi anthropologist.
The Klezmatics are a band founded in 1986, based in New York. They fuse klezmer music with elements of jazz, rock, gospel and other modern musical genres. Music in Letters to Afar was performed by Lorin Sklamberg (lead vocals, accordion, guitar, piano), Frank London (trumpet, keyboards, vocals), Paul Morrissett (bass, tsimbl, vocals), Matt Darriau (kaval, clarinet, saxophone, vocals), Lisa Gutkin (violin, vocals), and Richie Barshay (percussion), with special guest, John Mettam (percussion).
