Publicly addressing last year's tuition-funded raises for top University of Colorado administrators for the first time, Chancellor Phil DiStefano acknowledged that "some of the larger-than-average raises, while well deserved, were poorly timed and communicated."
The Camera reported last month that CU used money generated from last year's 9.3 percent in-state tuition hike to reward many of its top administrators with raises, increasing DiStefano's salary by $49,000 to $389,000 and distributing tens of thousands of dollars in salary increases to other high-paid employees.
DiStefano, in his message sent late last week to all Boulder campus employees, said that his well-intentioned staff has not been paying enough attention to communicating with faculty and staff members, leaving them to get information from the media.
Of the increases, 87 percent went to employees earning less than $100,000 a year, DiStefano noted.

"Amarillo - for the West of your life." This is a marketing slogan/jingle for Amarillo tourism tossed around Tuesday during Amarillo City Council's work session. Amarillo does have a strong and vibrant western tradition - in the spirit of the cowboy.

Donald Trump is rarely at a loss for words. The GOP presidential candidate (who isn't these days?) has taken some well-deserved heat for controversial remarks, like his recent nonsensical comments about Vietnam prisoner-of-war and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., not being a "war hero."

Brain Scans Of Pain Raise Questions For The Law
Professor Henry T. "Hank" Greely is quoted in Science Magazine in an article about how the law treats brain scans and neuroimaging as evidence for the existence of pain:
Ready or not, neuroimaging is knocking on the courthouse door. Last summer, Sean Mackey, a neurologist who directs Stanford University's Pain Management Center, was asked by defense lawyers in a workers' compensation case to serve as an expert witness.
The two sides reached a settlement, says Mackey, who spoke at a Stanford Law School event that brought together neuroscientists and legal scholars to discuss how the neuroimaging of pain potentially could be used—or abused—in the legal system.
"You scientists care more about causation than we do in the law," said Stanford law professor Henry "Hank" Greely. "If the correlation is high enough, … we would see that as a useful tool." Indeed, Greely and others noted, even if fMRI can't provide a perfectly objective measure of pain, it may still be better than the alternatives.

With an aim to enhance its focus on mobilising household savings into capital markets and to strengthen its supervisory functions, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Monday decided to go in for a major overhaul of its role, vision and organisational set-up with a stronger workforce and greater IT resources.
The nine-member board of the capital markets regulator decided to implement a plan of action in this regard, following recommendations made by an independent consultant. Among others, it has been recommended that SEBI should impart a greater focus on mobilising household savings into capital market assets, strengthen its supervisory functions and its oversight of listed companies.
Besides, it has been asked to work for a re-organisation of its functional departments, increase its manpower, improve its IT strategy for organisational efficiency and strengthen its training and performance management system.
"The board accepted the recommendations and agreed on the implementation plan for the same," SEBI said in a statement after the board meeting.
Collective investment schemes
To curb rising instances of public getting defrauded by money pooling schemes, SEBI decided to declare illegal mobilisation of funds as a "fraudulent and unfair trade practice". Besides, it has clarified that the existing list of activities coming under fraudulent and unfair trade practices can be further expanded whenever the need arises.
Following today's decision, all activities of money mobilisation through unauthorised Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) would face stronger penalties prescribed under the revised SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Alex Cobb went seven innings, B.J. Upton hit an RBI double, and the Rays defeated the Blue Jays, 3-2, on Wednesday.
Tampa Bay scored all of its runs in the third inning, as Evan Longoria plated Upton with a double play groundout and Jeff Keppinger added a two-out RBI single.
Longoria, in his second game back from a prolonged absence, went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Still, Tampa Bay improved to 17-8 with Longoria in the lineup this season, compared to 41-44 without the three-time All-Star.
Cobb (6-8) allowed one run on five hits, did not issue a walk and struck out seven.
Fernando Rodney entered the ninth with a 22-inning scoreless streak -- a club record for a reliever -- but surrendered a one-out solo homer to David Cooper. The righty then retired two straight batters to secure his 34th save of the year.
The Rays have won nine of 14 overall and will look for the sweep of this three-game series on Thursday.
Carlos Villanueva (6-2) took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out seven.
Edwin Encarnacion had a third-inning sacrifice fly for the Blue Jays, losers in eight of their last 10 games. They have dropped 16 consecutive away series against the Rays.
The sac fly scored Rajai Davis, who was hit by a pitch and moved to third on Colby Rasmus' single, but Tampa Bay went ahead for good in the bottom half.
A leadoff double by Desmond Jennings, followed by Upton's two-bagger into the right-field corner, tied the game. Matt Joyce then laced a single, placing runners at the corners.
Longoria, who had a sac fly in his return on Tuesday, made it 2-1 with a 6-4-3 double-play groundout.
Villanueva then walked Ben Zobrist and Carlos Pena before Keppinger capped the frame with a base hit up the middle.
Cobb fanned the last two batters he faced, stranding a runner at third, and Joel Peralta struck out the side in the eighth.
Despite allowing Cooper's fourth homer of the season, Rodney managed to tie the club record with his 19th consecutive save, while helping the Rays down the Jays for the eighth time in nine games.
Longoria missed 85 games with a partially torn left hamstring...Rodney had not allowed a run since June 14 versus the Mets. He was two outs shy of tying James Shields for the overall club record in consecutive scoreless innings (23).

We have been hearing a lot of rumors about the Windows Blue update which is supposed to be released in the second half of the year.Last month also saw the first leak of Wndoes Blue build leak and many of the blogs tried out that build on their systems.
Recently AngelWZR who closely follows the Windows Blue builds posted a screenshot which suggests that Windows Blue is dubbed as Windows 8.1 update,which is quite similar to the Windows Phone naming conventions which followed similar update numbering conventions.
Though we are yet to hear anything solid about Windows Blue features from Microsoft,we can expect them to shed some light on the same during the upcoming Build conference which is to be held in the month of June.The Windows Blue update is expected to hit RTM in the month of August.

New AC Milan manager Sinisa Mihajlovic crucial to revival at San Siro
The mood within the AC Milan camp is a positive one this summer. Despite another disappointing season in 2014-15, they have been given a fresh start and new impetus to succeed.
Sinisa Mihajlovic has settled in as the new manager; and Andrea Bertolacci, Jose Mauri, Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano are all adjusting to life with their new teammates. And more new faces are likely to arrive before the window closes.
Mihajlovic has reiterated all summer that it is vital that Milan now get back to being among...

Ohio's anti-collective bargaining law, SB 5, passed by Ohio Republicans, is likely to be repealed by Ohio's voters in next month's election. According to this Quinnipiac poll, 57 percent of registered voters think the anti-public sector union law should be repealed, while just 32 percent of voters think the law should remain.
This is a mild improvement compared to Quinnipiac's last poll of the issue in late September. That poll found 51 percent in favor of repeal and 38 percent in support of keeping the law.
While the poll found Republican voters support the law by a margin of 59 to 32 percent, the measure is losing heavily thanks to very strong opposition from both Democrats and Independents. By an overwhelming margin of 77 to 13 percent Democrats think the law should be repealed, and Independents want to see the law repealed by a margin of 56 to 32 percent.
The unions view SB 5 as a death knell for public sector unions in the state. The law is so restrictive it would likely cripple the unions and dramatically shrink their membership rolls. As a result the unions have spent big on both the signature gathering to get the referendum on the ballot, and the campaign supporting the repeal. While turnout can be unpredictable in these off-year elections, it currently looks like the unions are poised to win a major victory.

It should come as no surprise to any gamer that Modern Warfare 2 is a big deal. After all, it is the sequel to the most popular first person shooter yet made, Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare, which sold over 14 million copies across the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms. But apparently Activision Blizzard considers Modern Warfare 2 a big enough game to justify a custom controller. The Modern Warfare 2 custom controller won't just be a recolored gamepad, as are sometimes seen for games like Halo 3. Instead, the controller will be physically different than the standard Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers, according to a twitter post by Infinity Ward employee Robert Bowling.
Bowling asks whether gamers would prefer a concave or convex surface on the analog sticks of the Modern Warfare 2 controller. What do you think? Currently both the 360 and PS3 gamepads use concave surfaces on their analogs, but would a convex be superior? Is a Modern Warfare 2 custom controller overkill? Let us know in the comments section.

BTW, why should 5 man bosses drop epics? I hated that about the last two expansions. You had to be EPICED out to do any higher end dungeons.
I liked the game of WoW but I have always hated the culture. The people in WoW are completely disgusting. That game brings out the worst in people.
Agreed but people who play fps games online aren't much different, i played unreal/unreal tournament/ut2003/ut2004/UT3 from 1998-2008. Played tons of tournaments,cups etc hosted by clanbase.com and people who play that can be everybit as much of a tool as wow players. The only difference is that a LOT of wow players actually defend the developers and act like some selfappointed mini-mods and nothing is ever blizzard's fault, instead you get to hear L2P, qq moar etc. I hate that crowd, the malicious douchebags that can't even help people who ask for it without cracking jokes, trying to ridicule that person.
The last 2 expansion heroics bosses dropped epics, in wrath also the icecrown citadel normals+argent tournament 5 man normal did aswell. I started playing during the burning crusade and i don't give a rats ass about "vanilla" that every douchebag in trade claims to have played. If they like it so much create a new account and never upgrade, problem solved.
In bc you could actually craft some nice stuff for yourself (binds on pickup ofc) and grinding mats for them felt ok because you knew you would get a nice piece of armor etc as a reward. But now you have to play heroic 5 man to be able to craft anything apart from a blue basic pvp set for yourself. Everything uses chaos orbs wich are bop and only drop in hc's. I play this game to relax, i don't need a another job wich wow is becoming for many and you more or less have to be in a raiding guild to even have a chance to complete heroics. I can't even make a blue level 85 weapon without chaos orbs, if you can't craft anything worthwhile there's simply no point in crafting at all. Cata is killing the game for me aswell but for different reasons.
/end rant.

Aaron Martin is an American multi-instrumentalist from Topeka, Kansas, United States. Beginning his musical life at age 11 switching between guitar and drums, Aaron soon discovered a typical American high school music diet aping Nirvana records wasn't his thing. The turning point came buying a CD of a cello quartet (Apocalyptica) performing Metallica songs. Hooked on its sound, he started learning to play cello at the relatively late age of 17.

Hey just trying to get these working. So I ran the cios from one of the posts worked great to get mic working. So my problem is what do I need to change to get the guitars/drums..... working. All i need is a link to the files that will make 4.2u RB Beatles sync guitars/drums. i can perform the tasks involved.
Thank you in advance.
Im new to this whole modding this but im having the same issue with getting the rb1 guitar and drums to actually work with rb2 or beatles rock band. They both have power, as the instrument lights are light, but their is not a controller number assigned to either of them. The mic seems to work fine though. Any ideas?

What would Washington County do with a $5.2 million cash infusion?
That money is owed to the county in delinquent property taxes. Washington County Trustee Jack Daniels, the person who chooses the county's delinquent property tax attorney, is comfortable with private attorney Lawrence Counts, who has served in this capacity since 1995.
Counts, who was not immediately available for comment, receives attorney fees consisting of a $100 research fee plus 10 percent of the base tax on each individual or business account.
John Rambo, the county's new in-house attorney, offered his services as delinquent property tax attorney for no additional cost other than his previously determined salary. This would have saved the county about $100,000 a year, according to statements by members of the county's Legal Services Oversight Committee at an August meeting.
Johnson City Finance Director Janet Jennings said she and other city officials really hoped this would happen. The city, which is owed about $1.7 million in delinquent city property taxes, basically follows the county's timing, which means it must wait until Counts sets a date.
The next date for a tax sale is Jan. 25. The last sale was in May 2011, meaning nearly seven financial quarters will have passed. The county total includes county taxes due in Johnson City, Jonesborough and all unincorporated areas. The city total is city taxes only.
"If you're waiting nearly two years, you're not going to catch up," Jennings said. "By the time the sale comes around, you've added two more years to the tax rolls. There is no set time at which the county has the tax sales. It sits there until the tax attorney has a sale or auction. The city has no authority to lead that charge, and we traditionally piggy back on their schedule. But we are looking into the possibility of setting our own dates."
Daniels, who is serving his seventh term as trustee, disagreed with Jennings on several points.
"The Legal Services (Oversight) Committee met later and ruled that out," Daniels said about Rambo becoming the county's tax attorney. "That's a dead issue. It's her (Jennings') prerogative. She can select another tax attorney. It's my job to select the county tax attorney. Mr. Counts is the attorney for all three entities (the county, Johnson City, Jonesborough). But he is not the sole person to set the date. He works with Mrs. Sneyd (Brenda Sneyd, clerk and master) to arrive at a date."
Obviously, a tax sale is meant to sell the properties and get them back on the tax rolls. Delinquent tax collection is another thing altogether, and it is well known there may be no buyers interested in some of the properties. It's also true local governments do not expect to retrieve everything they're owed.
"If you got caught up — even if you pick up half — you're going to have a good one-time boost," Jennings said. "If you are a business, would you let your receivables (go) for seven years?"
Daniels disagreed.
"In my opinion, no, because we're earning penalty and interest on people that could pay their taxes," Daniels said about possibly having annual tax sales. "The next sale will be for tax years 2005 and 2006. We do them about two years at a time. But when it comes right down to the time of the tax sale you would be surprised how many pay their taxes. We had about $70,000 come in last week."
On Aug. 16, the Legal Services Oversight Committee called on Rambo to explain what he understood to be his duties as county attorney. He said at the time his responsibilities would include advising all county constitutional officers, department heads and managers and commissioners. But he also said he would serve as delinquent tax collector if he was appointed to do so.
Though that duty was not delineated at the time he became county attorney, the August committee meeting minutes show Rambo would have remitted all fees collected back to the county. In other words, he would not charge for the service, and the county would save an estimated $100,000 annually.
"Lawrence Counts will continue to do delinquent taxes," said County Mayor Dan Eldridge. "John has way more than enough to do. Jack Daniels ultimately is responsible for all county taxes. When the property taxes become delinquent, he turns them over to Brenda Sneyd. There is a commission — a percentage that is kept to fund the trustee's operations. The remainder goes back into the county's general fund."
The general fund is where local governments place tax revenue. It provides the resources necessary to sustain the day-to-day activities and thus pays for all administrative and operating expenses.
Rambo recently confirmed that he did offer to act as delinquent tax attorney and said he would have asked for no compensation beyond his previously established salary of about $148,000.
"I can only do that which is assigned to me," he said. "State law is clear that it is the trustee who determines who collects delinquent property tax."

Simple question for Macbook and Logic Studio owners
Hey all,
I have a simple question for those of you that own a Macbook and Logic Studio. How suitable is a 13 inch, unibody Macbook for running Logic Studio? I have a 2.4Ghz Unibody Macbook with 4GB RAM and was wondering if this is powerful enough to run the latest version of Logic Studio.
I have seen the minimum system requirements, but would like to hear from an everyday user.
Many thanks in advance,
I have the 2.2Ghz 15" MBP with 10.5.8 which Logic 9 runs great but I keep it hooked up to an external 32" monitor for better viewing.

Chipotle Offers Facebook Users Buy One, Get One Free Deal
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews
|...or without eating a few burritos.
Have you seen The Social Network? You should. It's a great movie. One of my favorite parts is a brief moment when Mark Zuckerberg (as played by Jesse Eisenberg) is brainstorming what will become Facebook. On a dry-erase board he's made three columns to compare his project with Friendster and MySpace. That's it. But the dramatic irony is tremendous. It's difficult to imagine a time when either of those sites was considered a competitor of Facebook.
You have to wonder if the real Mark Zuckerberg has drawn up three more columns to compare Facebook with Groupon and Foursquare.
From Nation's Restaurant News (via Eater) comes word that fast-casual burrito emporium Chipotle is partnering with Facebook to launch Facebook Deals.
It works like this: Use Facebook's Foursquare-esque application Facebook Places to check in at any Chipotle nationwide next weekend, November 13-14, or the following weekend, November 20-21. Show the cashier that you've checked in. You'll then receive a buy-one, get-one-free deal on any entrée (burrito, tacos, salad).
Note that, unlike Groupon, the deal isn't limited to a certain number of people. Note also that, unlike Foursquare -- or, to be more precise, unlike the many restaurants and other businesses that reward Foursquare users -- you don't have to become "mayor" to receive a prize.
Will this have any impact on either Groupon or Foursquare? Will non-smartphone-using Chipotle customers complain about not being able to participate? Will Facebook use its creepy, privacy-invading technology to guilt-trip us about how many barbacoa burritos we ate last week?
Stay tuned.

Tech*Ed SA is over – thank you
So, Tech*Ed South Africa is over, and I want to tell thanks to all attendees – presenters and visitors. The event was great as well as the organization. As usual, my Visual Studio just stopped working between sessions yesterday, so I had to reinstall it during one of sessions to be ready for next one. Also in XNA session XBOX deployment did not worked for some reason and bandwidth was awful, so this fun session was not very effective. However, how it can be interesting without those technical problems?
Visitors, it was very fun to read feedbacks. Here just snack preview of it (not including comments like "Enjoyed", "Brilliant", "Nice!", "Exceptionally good", etc…:
"Level 300? Should have been marked as a 200?"
"Now this was 300 Advanced level"
"The description said Advanced but if was very very VERY advanced"
"I was definately in the wrong session coz I am only a begginner in Reflection and this was a 300 Advanced session… my bad :-)"
"The speaker was very well prepered, thus did not strukkel to speak. i understand the topic very well, but still enjoyed the talk."
"sometimes he sounds more like Borat than a knowledgeable speaker. There were a number of sniggers in the audience at his comments, which distracts from the content."
"Brilliant presenter, speaks fluently and clear, not like all others. Are you from Canada?"
"Excellent, not applicable for business, but bring more of these. MORE."
"Probly the wrong sesion for me but was interesting"
"Host's setup of machines was troublesome."
"SA Bandwidth issues reduced the effectiveness of the demo side of things."
Guys, please let's set it clear (at least for me):
- 100 – Go to sales department
- 200 – Slides with nice pictures – no code
- 300 – Visual Studio, Code, some slides
- 400 – All code – almost no theory and slides
- 500 – Machine code
- 600 – Come offline it will take time
And now, my favorite one: "Guys, I would like the trial versions of the following softwares: 1. Visual Studio 2008 2. SQL Server 2008 3. Expression Studio v2.0 4. SharePoint Server 2007 I would appreciate if i can get it before tech-ed closes. Thanks and please contact me if you could assist.". I sent you an email with links to all requested trials. Keep doing!
I saw about 100 visitors of my blog. They recognized me. Also when I gave my business card (with blog address), almost everyone told: "Oh, I know this blog – very good one". Charming, that in spite of bandwidth issues, there are my blog readers in SA. If you were in my session and want to tell anything publicly, just leave a comment here.
Tomorrow noon, I'll leave SA back home and 'll start to prepare to Expert Days (do you remember? It's next week). Unfortunately, I almost had no time to see Africa, but, maybe, next time. Thank you, all again.

I'm Coming Home
Today I was walking towards the Piata Romana subway like I had so many times before. I passed the little corner where a big art gallery hides the Art Jazz Club then stopped to look accross the busiest street in Eastern Europe towards the Intercontinental Hotel facing the other direction.
Then I just stopped ...looked around and decided it was enough.
When the TV show wraps up and I finish the jazz tour in Montenegro, that will be it.
Two years here is enough. I'm coming home.
I got a lot out of this place and I'll take away a lifetime of memories but I'm an American and that's how I feel it...the music, the attitude, the vibe...everything.
What's even more incredible is that I really don't have a plan but I've got to think one will make itself known. I just have to do this because I feel the next step is the real one. I've done a lot of ground work and I'm better.
So now it's time to find a gig.
A real one.
Yep, I know the music line in America is longer than any other, but hopefully all this shortened it up a bit. I've been pretty close already. Now it's time to get over the hump. I plan to leave enough connection here to come back to finish a couple of things, but by the fall I'm dug back in.
If anyone in The States is looking for a drummer...loves jazz most but adapts to all styles then I'm your man. And as impulse as all this is...I feel like it's the right move.
I endorse Zildjian sticks because I like them.

After setting the anti-virus package to proactively scan, I am getting my new mail to my phones.

A damaging report sheds light on bigger issue
A much-anticipated report regarding academic issues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill revealed a much bigger problem.
Former North Carolina Gov. Jim Martin delivered his report to the UNC Board of Trustees and continued to put a black-eye on issues at UNC-Chapel Hill.
But, from the time the story once came out that there were questions regarding grade tampering and other academic irregularities, the story was treated as if it were an athletic scandal.
The story started to roll after the academic transcript of former football star Julius Peppers surfaced and it was discovered that Peppers earned high grades in his African studies classes, but poor grades in the rest of his classes.
An earlier probe, according to The Associated Press, showed that more than 50 courses at the school had instructors that didn't teach, grades that were changed or, forged faculty signatures on grade reports.
The entire scandal led to the departure of head football coach Butch Davis and the resignation of Chancellor Holden Thorp.
But, Thursday's report sheds light on the scandal that carries it well beyond an athletic issue.
It was reported that the academic issues within the African studies department dated back to 1997 and involved its former chairman and a department administrator — both of whom have retired.
The report said that neither Davis, nor any other member of the UNC athletic department had any knowledge of the issues.
But still, the story continued to be an athletic scandal and not what it really is ... an academic scandal.
In the words of Martin: "This was not an athletic scandal. It was an academic scandal, which is worse ..."
Whatever the motive was to make the changes in grades, the fact of the matter is that it is simply wrong.
It is unfair to the students who did do the work in their classes to make high marks.
It is unfair to the rest of the UNC faculty who do operate above-board and without incident.
It is even unfair to the unknown number of students who had their grades changed. The old saying goes "You don't learn anything by cheating."
In an attempt to move past this scandal, we hope that UNC-Chapel Hill and, indeed, the entire university system learns from this and takes corrective action to do its best to make sure it does not happen again.

Precious creatures
All hail precious creatures
dazzling in the morn,
burying jilted suitors
as night time turns to dawn.
Have ye seen Messalina?
Oh! Beauty is the beast
In a bath of ugly frogs,
she bathes before her feast.
Unto the looking glass
pretty maids fondly stare.
Only truth trails the ticking clock,
old age hides her lair.
Adore the painted eye,
desire so lustrous cup.
Beware the widow spider,
her potions never sup
I'm peeling juicy peaches
with a steely knife,
and staring at you heathen
now run and save your life.

August 3, 2015
DALLAS -- New York Senator Hillary Clinton can thank Hispanics and white women in Texas for keeping her Democratic presidential campaign alive.
Clinton may also be glad she ran a late round of commercials that questioned Illinois Senator Barack Obama's ability to be commander in chief.
Voters who made up their minds in the days before Tuesday's primary, Hispanics and white women were the ones who broke strongly for Clinton. That's according to an exit poll for The Associated Press and
television networks.
Arizona Senator John McCain cruised to victory in the less suspenseful Republican primary.
Republicans listed the economy, followed closely by illegal immigration, terrorism and the war in Iraq as their top issues.
Half the voters in the Democratic primary named the economy as the biggest issue, and another quarter picked the war in Iraq.
Survey results were from interviews of 2,048 Democratic primary voters and 1,488 Republican primary voters conducted by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International in 40 polling places across Texas on Tuesday.
Margin of sampling error plus or minus 3 percentage points in the Democratic primary and 4 percentage points in the GOP election.
The samples include 434 Democratic voters and 267 Republican voters who voted early or absentee and were surveyed in the past week by telephone.

Blair Museum of Lithophanes houses 2,300 treasuresWritten by Kristen Criswell | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo is home to the largest collection of lithophanes and the only museum worldwide dedicated to the art — the Blair Museum of Lithophanes.
The museum is home to more than 2,300 lithophanes and has approximately 750 lithophanes on display at all times.
A lithophane is a three-dimensional image in translucent porcelain that was a popular European art form in the 19th century.
"What's amazing is it doesn't look interesting if the light is not on. [Lithophanes] have to be illuminated, so they were incorporated into useful items in people houses," said Margaret Carney, curator of the Blair Museum of Lithophanes.
Many lithophanes were displayed as part of lanterns, as candle shields or as fire screens during the Victorian age. In addition to those forms, the museum has lithophanes displayed as night lights and lamp shades as well as in beer steins and tea warmers.
Many famous porcelain manufacturers produced lithophanes as a side job, Carney said. Companies in Germany and France have some of the first patents for lithophanes in 1827, she said.
"[Lithophane] was sort of a fad, but went on a really long time for a fad," Carney said.
Lithophanes are being produced today, but Carney said the art form's heyday was from 1840 to 1880. Carney authored a 2008 book, "Lithophanes," that discusses the history and evolution of the art.
All lithophanes are based on print engravings during the era they are produced.
Skilled craftsmen carved images into beeswax with tools similar to dental instruments, Carney said. The deeper the beeswax was carved the more light that shone through and the lighter the image.
Upon completion, the carved beeswax was used to create molds for the porcelain, Carney said. Once a mold was created a lithophane image could be replicated a number of times.
The museum's largest flat lithophane, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, is 15 inches by 10.75 inches. Most of the lithophanes at the museum are smaller, however, measuring roughly 5 inches by 7 inches in size.
When heated in a kiln, 60 percent of the time the porcelain would warp or crack, Carney said. The larger the lithophane, or the thinner the porcelain was in the mold, the more likely it was to break.
Most lithophanes are monochromatic, but some lithophanes have been painted, Carney said. Painted lithophanes are rare, but the museum has some on display.
The Blair Museum of Lithophanes has a special exhibit of fans on display until Oct. 31.
As part of the exhibit, the museum has on display six of the seven known lithophane fans as well as information on other types of fans.
The lithophanes were mounted as hand screens or completion fans to protect individuals from the heat of candles or flames, Carney said.
"In the 19th century men and women's makeup was made of wax. [Lithophane fans] would allow the person who held it to sit in front of the fire and they would see a beautiful image and the porcelain doesn't conduct heat, so it protected their faces," Carney said.
All four of the most famous factories for making lithophane fans are represented in the seven remaining fans, Carney said.
Next year's special exhibit will feature a contemporary lithophane artist. "Hands Illuminating Porcelain: The Lithophanes of Hannah Blackwell," will run from April 2011 until October 2011. A special reception to meet Blackwell will be hosted April 30.
The Blair Museum of Lithophanes was founded by Laurel Gotshall Blair, a local businessman. Blair began collecting lithophanes in the 1960s and ran a lithophane museum out of his home in the Old West End, Carney said.
When Blair died in 1993, he left his entire collection of lithophanes to the city of Toledo. After nearly 10 years of efforts, the museum was opened at its current location.
Blair's goal — to educate others about the history of lithophanes — is carried on by the museum.
The museum is open Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. May through September at no charge to the public. Special group tours for 10 or more are available year-round for $5 a person.
The Blair Museum of Lithophanes is located at 5403 Elmer Drive in the Toledo Botanical Garden.

Sizes of Hermes Birkin Bags
The Birkin bag took its inspiration from a previous Hermes design used to carry around riding gear in the 19th century called the Haut-Au-Courrois. Jean Louis Dumas was given the task of adjusting the HAC and scaling its size back in order for it to be more accessible. The making of one Birkin bag is handled by just one craftsman from start to finish. Production time will vary based on the size of the Birkin, but it usually takes 18 hours for a small 25cm one and 30 hours for the 40cm model.
The Birkin bags are available in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45cm sizes. There are also two bigger models, the 50cm and 55cm, which are intended to be used as traveling bags. The 45cm Birkin is also a traveling bag with longer straps.
The Hermes HAC is similar to the Birkin and most people cannot tell the difference. However, this bag comes in 27cm, 32cm and 37cm sizes and features shorter straps.
The original Birkin bag was 40cm in size. In Asia, the most popular model is the 30cm one as it goes well with the diminutive stature of the people.
|Birkin 25cm
|Birkin 30cm
|The smallest of Birkin bags, the 25cm one, appeared in 2004. It remains a popular accessory for evening events such as dinner parties.
|The 30cm Birkin has proven to be popular in the Asian market because it fits the people's diminutive statures.
|Birkin 35cm
