Red Wolf Lodge, Tahoe Vista is right on the lake and has a beautiful beach and pool area that looks out over Tahoe. The grounds are quite nice, clean, and kept up. There are a few squirrels and some beautiful crested blue jays. Trees and gardens were lovely. Everyone has assigned parking so no problem finding a spot. We were nicely greeted by the office person and she told us about the lodge, day activities and mentioned some restaurants.
We rented a Studio which was very small even for the two of us! There is a Murphy bed that was fine. The kitchen had newer utensils and appliances. Everything was clean. I was surprised there was no soap in the bathroom. A minor problem with the toilet was quickly addressed the next day while we were out. Internet is very slow.
The lodge is on a busy street but we were far enough back that noise was not a problem for us. There is a nice Italian restaurant within walking distance and a full grocery store.
If I was to stay again...

It is a fact of life that large amounts of sensitive data are transported and stored electronically on flash drives, CDs and other devices. With mobility comes increased risk of lost or stolen information, along with the associated financial cost. If your clients' personal data is stolen while under your control, do you have insurance coverage available to alleviate the losses?
A recent Seventh Circuit decision addressed this very situation. In Nationwide Insurance Company v Central Laborers' Pension Fund, et al, (7th U.S. Circuit, No. 12-1784, Jan. 11, 2013), Jeanne Hertz, an employee of an accounting firm in Illinois, had a CD containing the names, birthdates and social security numbers of some 30,000 members of various pension fund clients. The CD was inside Hertz's laptop in her car parked outside of her home when the laptop was stolen. After incurring $200,000 in credit monitoring and notification expenses for its members, the funds brought a negligence action against Hertz. She tendered the defense to her homeowner's insurer, Nationwide. The insurance company denied the claim and then filed an action for declaratory judgment that the claim was not covered.
Nationwide cited two policy exclusions – first, that the stolen property did not belong to Hertz but was instead "rented to, occupied or used by, or in the care of" Hertz; and second, that the property damage was "arising out of or in connection with a business." The trial court granted Nationwide's motion for summary judgment and the funds appealed. The appellate court affirmed the lower court's decision on the basis of the first exclusion, finding that the CD was exclusively within Hertz's control and that it was a necessary part of her work.
>> This case illustrates that it may not be sufficient to rely on a homeowner's policy when it comes to handling sensitive client data. Taking steps to secure data, such as using a password protected device, are well-advised. The Nationwide decision is available here.

BAKERSFIELD - The City of Bakersfield says after a lack of communication with the county, it will officially separate from the Kern County Animal Shelter and operate its own animal care facility.
Kern County Animal Control calls the decision an endangerment to animal welfare and public safety.
The city says it has been at odds with the county since May.
But, the county says it had a verbal agreement on a new plan for an animal shelter with the city in July.
This comes after city officials say the county was being unresponsive about plans for a joint animal shelter.
Come next month, the county will no longer run the shelter on Mount Vernon Avenue.
"We will be parting ways with them and going down a different path," said Steven Teglia, Assistant to the City Manager.
It's a decision the city has been considering since last month.
Now it's official, the city has cut ties with the county on the issue of animal control.
"The fact that we had to go through and extend our current arrangement by an additional three months, from June to September, and we're getting close to September. We really felt that we needed to start to take control of this situation and provide a different option for the future," said Teglia.
The county shelter sits on city land, and city officials say since the one-year agreement with the county expired in June, communication has been limited.
The city and county had plans to run a joint animal shelter at the current Mount Vernon location. But, that required a new two-year agreement.
The city says since it still hasn't heard from county officials, it's best to part ways.
"It's unfair to the city and others that we might seek to partner with, to have this lack of clarity in this evolving situation," said Teglia.
Last month, animal control officials said they were looking into a possible one-year extension and if a joint shelter was best for the county.
"We're completely caught by surprise and hopefully we can still find a way to chart a course together in the future for animal control, which I still am going to remain optimistic that we can do," said County Supervisor Zack Scrivner.
The city says it's already looking for other partners to collaborate with.
"We look at it as a positive. Through a partnership with the SPCA and the Homeless Center, we think we'll be able to collaborate on providing for the care and sheltering of unwanted animals in the city of Bakersfield in a more efficient way and also provide a higher level of service," Teglia continued.
September 30th will be the county's last day at the shelter, but if staff needs more time, the city will give them until December 1st.

I'm writing a story for the next issue of FORBES about a company that's a little out of the ordinary: They do most of their own manufacturing right here in the USA, and they're hiring.
It's strange to think that a growing American manufacturer might be considered unusual. But the numbers bear that out. This company's grown their workforce by more than 20% since 2009; during that same period, most U.S. manufacturers shed jobs.
On the surface, it's a grim picture: Fewer Americans are working in manufacturing than at any point since World War II. The current workforce of 11.76 million is down 39% from its all-time high of 19.55 million, set in June 1979.
But the reality of the situation is this: We should be glad those jobs are gone. We don't need them.
America is still the world's biggest maker of stuff in terms of constant dollars. China's coming up behind, but hasn't caught us yet. Either way, when you look at the chart in this post and see less people employed in the sector, don't think diminished manufacturing –think increased efficiency. We still make more than anyone else. We just need less people to do that, thanks to better automation and technology.
With the national unemployment rate hovering around 9%, I'm not denying that people need jobs. There's no question that there would be long lines for a new factory job anywhere in the country. But as a country, we'd be better off building careers for those people in other fields, not putting them back on assembly lines. Those jobs are repetitive, low-paying and usually have few opportunities for advancement. It's a paycheck, but it'd be few people's first choice for one.
It's okay to leave those 20th century jobs behind. In the 21st century we need less people cranking out widgets and more people inventing them. Leave the labor to the robots.
What do you think? Will American manufacturing jobs ever come back? Should we want them to? Leave your comment below.

Coleman looked every bit of 6'10'' Anyone who says otherwise, doesn't know what they are talking about. He has huge feet too. He's just a very large young man.
He is very skilled. Good shooting stroke. Very soft hands. Reminded me a little bit of a taller Jared Sullinger. But like Sullinger, he is overweight and doesn't move well laterally. But you can tell, Coleman knows how to score the ball. And he'll score the ball plenty in college.
He won't be a "shot blocker" in college. Christmas will likely do most of the shot-blocking next year. But he is exactly the type of player this year's team needed...a low-post scoring threat. Somebody to throw the ball to, when the offense bogs down and all the one-on-one crap isn't working.
He certainly needs to lose weight. Probably 20 pounds or so. But even playing at too much weight (which he was last night) he is still effective. He'll be even more effective at around 260 LBS.
Maybe some of the weight he loses could be transferred over to Christmas? Christmas needs muscle to put on his leaner frame.
I did enjoy this comment from an earlier response...."The only thing I noticed is he goes up on shot fakes every time".
That just means he'll fit right in at Syracuse. Nobody gets themselves more out of position by going for shot-fakes and ball-fakes more then the Orange. Melo thought he could block any shot within 25 feet of the basket. Joseph had the "close out, jump and land out-of-bounds while the offensive player drives right by him" move down pat since his freshman year. Christmas jumps at every ball fake. Most big men in the last 20 years have played that way (remember Ole' Hammer-Toes? He came off the bench out-of-position). And the really smart teams always take advantage of them, that way. Wisconsin did. And Ohio State did. Both are smart, well-coached teams.
Would Melo have scored 9 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked 6 shots against OSU?
Because that is what SU got out of the "5" spot in that game. They more then held their own.
The reason SU lost is on Kris Joseph and the team's inability to take advantage of over 10 minutes of gametime in the 1st half while Sullinger was on the pine.
Melo's importance to this team has been way overstated. Especially when his two replacements put up similar numbers in his absence.
Plus in that game, Melo would have gotten into foul trouble early, tried to block every shot (getting himself out of position on defense and on the boards) and probably goal-tended 1 or 2 shots that had no chance of going in.
Enough with Melo. SU lost because their 2 so-called stud players came up small, in the biggest game of the year. That simple.
Sullinger is NOT a top 3 NBA talent.
He's a good college player, who is undersized for the NBA and not nearly athletic enough to be anything more then a bench player. He has trouble scoring against bigger players and is a liability on defense (he is slow of foot laterally).
At BEST, he will be Tyler Hansbrough in the NBA. A role player. And his NBA stock has dropped like a rock this year, as bigger players have given him big trouble.
Syracuse had more talent then Ohio State. And still lost.
Joseph has always been a soft player. That didn't just crop up this year.
He was never a guy I trusted late in a game to make a big shot or make a big FT. Just always had that look of someone who was scared.
I see the Cuse going with a 9 man rotation next year. Coleman will take Joseph's starting spot. He'll give them two things they desperately need. A wider body down low that can score in the paint and someone who can bang and rebound with big boy teams. K-Jo could do neither.
I actually think Waiters will enter the draft but not hire an agent. He'll find out he won't be a 1st round pick and he will come back. He'll take Scooper's starting spot. Rak will continue to start at the 5 and I predict he will be the most improved player on the team. He'll come back next year with a bigger body and become a consistant 10 point, 10 rebound a night player. Keita will back him up.
Cooney will back up Waiters and give them scoring and shooting off the pine. Carter-Williams will push Triche for PT at the 1 and be a key player. Fair will start at the 3 and Southerland will backup both CJ and Coleman.
Grant will redshirt.
Enough about Fab. He's gone and been gone for weeks.
Rak and Keita more then held their own in this tourney. Combined, their numbers were even with Sullinger.
Even with the 7 foot dunce from Brazil, OSU beats us. With the way that game was called, Melo would have fouled out in 15 minutes. He would have been no factor and him not being there had no bearing on losing tonight.
Waiters and Joseph both disappearing (especially Joseph's vanishing act) were why SU lost.
Melo is old news. Quit using that as a crutch and a excuse. OSU played better then we did. We were a bad rebounding team with Fab. And a bad half-court offensive team with Fab. Nothing changed in that regard. It was always the fatal flaw and it bit them tonight.
The refs sucked for both teams. They sucked more for SU, but they were horrible both ways.
In fact if you've watched any other games in this tourney or throughout the regular season, the officiating has been horrible this year all over the country. Worst I have ever seen it. Dan Dakich on ESPN says the same thing.
Tonight's game should have been a classic game between two very good college teams. Instead it became a whistle-fest and 3 old white guy officials controlling the entire game. IF that is the best you got NCAA, you got major issues.
First off, a great season on the court.
A ridiculous season off of it.
Joseph played like a pansy tonight and throughout most of the tourney. Toilet-paper soft. Too bad, but he came up very small when the team needed him most. He was lucky that gag he had on the missed FT against Wisky didn't come back to haunt him. He made so many mistakes on both offense and defense tonight it wasn't even funny.
Scooper went out like a veteran should. Got as much out of his talent as anyone. He sacked up when the team needed him.
Keita, after literally doing nothing all year, came up big in the tourney. Looked like the player he was last year again. Good job by him.
Rak did what he could have done all year, if given PT. He is going to be a very good player here.
Lack of any sort of low-post game really cost them and made it tough for them to score in the half-court. Have not seen Coleman play, but I really hope he can score on the block. Next year's team could be very special if he can give them a horse down low.
Also nice to see Triche step up and play like a veteran. He was just way too inconsistant this year. He needs to get his head together and play well as a senior.
Would have liked to seen more from Southerland tonight, but too many fouls and not enough shots for him. His outside shooting will be needed next year.
If Waiters comes back (which I kinda doubt), then great. If not, it will be time for MCW and Cooney to show their stuff. Both are heady players and guys who aren't out there to put on a show. The kinds of players you win championships with.
Anyway, great year. Just came up short....again.
Southerland saved their bacon today.
Only guy who looked confident shooting the ball. One of the only guys rebounding.
Other then that, a really pitiful performance. In almost every area. Jimmy looked clueless on the bench most of the game. They could barely get the ball inbounds late. And they kept fouling late, when all they had to do was play smart. As one of the talking heads said after the game, this team looks like its searching for an identity. I just wish their identity of having no halfcourt offense and being soft on the boards would change. Obviously, its not going to.
Good thing they made some FT's late. They could have really choked that game away if it could have stayed a one possession game in the last 2 minutes.
When you recruit idiots, don't be shocked when they continue to be idiots in college.
Its too bad, because the kid had talent. The kind of natural talent (size, agility, hands, shooting touch) that very few humans have. But he had a 10 cent brain. And that will get you everytime.
Lets also be honest...this officially ends any chance this team had of cutting the nets down in New Orleans. They have no viable big man on the roster. Christmas is the next best guy and Jimmy has buried him on the pine since December. Now you have to count on him and he hasn't gotten the time to develop and his confidence is shot. Go get em' Rak! We need ya now!
The thing to do now for 99.9% of teams would be to play a full-court game, using the assets this current team has (depth in the backcourt and on the wings) and try and play a helter-skelter type of game. Get out and press and trap and play a lot of man-to-man defense and play that way. What we will do, is insert Christmas and Keita in Melo's spot. Play the same defense. Run the same 3 or 4 sets in the half-court that we have run all year. And hope Waiters and Scooper make some shots in late clock situations in the 2nd half to squeak out wins. The inside guys will get abused on the back line of the 2-3 and a mentally tougher team will end up beating us in round 3 or maybe round 4. Just like Butler did a few years ago. Or Marquette did last year.
Another great regular season and another dud of a post-season. Seen this played out way too many times, haven't we?
That's because they don't have a "half-court offense".
The only thing they do is have Melo ball-screen. Over and over and over again. That's the crux of the SU offense in the half-court. Its why they can't score when the game slows down. Nobody cuts. Nobody screens. Just spread the court and hope.
Its a "one-on-one" type of offense with only one of those type of players (Neon Dion). Just looks like the kind of offense you draw up 10 minutes before the game.
One last one...
Was this the first time all year that Triche played the back spot in the zone?
He had no idea what he was doing back there. And they stayed with those 3 guards for a few minutes too. Didn't work out too well. If you are going to go to 3 guards, why not play man at that point in the game when you are playing uphill? I guess we aren't to ever play man defense, in any circumstance.
Well, if you are to lose one...lose one now. Winning the BE post-season championship? Meaningless, if you don't make the final 4.
The two major problems with this team were shown for the whole world to see...half-court offense and defensive rebounding. Team is woeful at both.
Fair got abused underneath. Just too light in the cakes. He needs to spend the off-season in the weight-room.
Scooper is regressing back to the old Scooper. He needs a quick hook in the tourney, if he starts throwing the ball all over the place and playing like an idiot.
Just better hope for the right draw in the dance. Hopefully we will play a bunch of stubborn coaches, who don't like playing zone defense.
Good job by Dion for showing some sack and making some shots. Nobody else was going to make any.
And Triche continues to be in a funk. You can't choke on those 2 FT's like that. That was the mistake of the game. You make those two (like a 83% shooter is supposed to) and its a one possession game. He HAS to play big now. When he goes well, this team goes well. When he struggles, the whole offense seems to.
Keita's stat line in the last 7 games:
54 minutes played, 6 rebounds, 2 points.
Christmas couldn't do more then that? Hell, Sean Williams could have done more then that. Give Rak the minutes at the 5.
Axeman blames Jim Burr and Tim Higgins for this.
So tired of seeing Syracuse University in the news for the wrong reasons.
Jimmy trusts Fair about as much as anyone.
Why put the ball in Waiters or Joseph or Scooper's hands? That is what he did the entire 2nd half and it resulted in a bunch of bad shots and only 28 points total.
Fair barely touched the ball in the 2nd half (which was a mistake). He might as well try and create something and score in that key spot. Plus, he might actually make his FT's if he gets fouled.
One other thing about Melo...Dukey V actually brought up Melo, like he could be thinking of turning pro? The absolute worst thing he could do, is leave early. He has a chance to be a NBA center. But its going to take at least one more full season of college ball, playing at the highest level of college basketball. Another year to refine his skills (and possibly add a few low post moves) and learn how to defend in the low post without relying solely on blocking shots and at this time next year, he could be a NBA lottery guy.
Waiters has no business thinking about the NBA either. He'll be a D-leaguer if he decides to come out. Has a lot of natural ability and athletic ability. But just doesn't shoot it well enough, defend well enough or play smart enough to make a NBA roster. He desperately needs another year in college. He'll move into the starting lineup next year and be expected to carry more of the offense. He needs another off-season to work on his perimeter shooting. Right now, he's basically a smaller version of Paul Harris. And that won't play in the NBA.
Nice road win. Was a heck of a lot harder then it should have been though.
Best first half this team has played all year (beats the NC State 1st half because opposition was better).
The key to the win? The 6-8 minutes the entire 2nd team was in the game in the 1st half. That is when the lead grew. The energy picked up. Defense was terrific with that group in the game. If we could have just gotten Keita the hell off the floor, we'd really have something.
Keita's consecutive plays where he clanged the ball off his hands and lost a defensive rebound and then fumbled the ball underneath and blew a layup that a walk-on could have made should be his last meaningful minutes of the year. That blown layup seemed to be the igniter that UConn needed in the 2nd half. Sit him down already. A complete waste of time, to even put him in the game. Play Christmas in that spot. Let him get used to that spot for the remainder of the regular season the BE Tourney. Keita has NO business playing anymore. NONE.
I'd also tell Waiters if he takes another 3 pointer the rest of the year, that isn't a late clock situation, he will sit down. The dude cannot shoot the ball. And the more he shoots from distance, the worse he gets. Southerland is a shooter. He'll eventually start making them if he gets enough opportunities. Waiters? Not a shooter. He's a transition finisher and put your head down and go the basket driver. That's it, right now.
Melo was good, but got lazy (and probably tired) late in the 2nd half. One of his better allaround games though.
Fair needed to get involved, but since they don't run any plays for him, its tough.
And I wish we had more of a half-court offense then "Spread the Court and have Melo set a ball screen". Pretty one-dimensional attack. Very few screens. Very little movement. Its why they can't score when the game slows down. The 2003 team actually had a lot of variety to their half-court sets. This team? One trick pony offense. Over and over and over.
Finish off Louisville and a undefeated home season and then have some fun (with no pressure since a #1 seed will be locked up) in New York.
Can't wait for Axe Man to chime in about how poorly Christmas played.
Yes, that 1 minute he actually saw the court was terrible.
Why even continue to start the kid, if this is going to be the routine? Thought the same thing last year, when Melo would start and be out of the game after one trip down the floor. What is the point? It would save Jimmy from making one extra substitution, which he hates doing anyway.
Play Christmas as the backup to Melo in the middle. Sit Keita next to the walk-ons. He doesn't belong on the floor anymore. Let Southerland take the backup minutes (however few they are) behind Joseph and Fair.
The uniforms looked good, BTW.
Nice to see everyone wearing the same color shoe for once. Actually looked like a team for once, instead of a summer league team.
Of course, Me-on Dion had to wear his black shoes (with orange accents) just to be different from the other 15 players. Typical me-first stuff, from a me-first player.
Nothing is going to change.
Very poor rebounding team. Nobody looks comfortable shooting the ball outside of 15 feet. Half-court offense is a joke. And if the game slows down, we can't score and the defense gets stagnant.
And yet, 28-1. Is this team really that good? Nope. The team from 2 years ago beats this team by double figures. But they seem to get the job done somehow, someway. Almost seems like its with smoke and mirrors though. I think we've been figured out and I am not sure we have other ways we can attack other teams. We have what we have and Lord knows, Jimmy ain't gonna change anything.
Lets be honest though for a second....would anyone be shocked if its 54-50 with 3 minutes to go in the 1-16 first round game in Pittsburgh? You almost expect it to be that way, at this point.
Kentucky is getting better. Michigan State (as usual) is getting better. North Carolina is getting better. Syracuse? Looks like they peaked in January and are just holding on for dear life right now.
Yes, they are 28-1. But that record goes out the window soon and won't mean much.
And the question about Triche is a good one....he looks frustrated and is forcing the issue to try and get more PT. He looks like an unhappy player right now. He is the key going forward for this team. If he plays well, he adds a outside shooting threat (which we are painfully weak right now) and a someone who will make the correct play on the offensive and defensive end in a close game more times then not. But he's not right and he needs to get right soon.
I hope Southerland is saving all of his made shots for the BE Tourney and the Dance. He's due for one of those 5-5 3 pt games soon. Hopefully, its when we need it.
Scoop will now think he has to take every clutch shot, the rest of the year.
Dribble the ball into the ground for 30 seconds and then hoist a 24 foot contested 3 as the shot-clock buzzer is sounding.
Maybe Scoop will finally learn when to say when. But judging by his comments in this piece...he thinks he's gotta be "the man" down the stretch. And that is scary for any SU fan. We've all seen Scoop overstretch his talents and think he is better then he actually is.
He's still a better option then "The Waiter" though. That kid has no clue how to play the game and lacks sack in a close game. He's the most talented kid on the team. But the most clueless too.

I certainly was!
In my next match review, I go back almost a decade to another Grapplers Quest tournament.
I am facing Gary Grate, a Charles Gracie brown belt at the time.
There is a great wrestling counter I use, multiple guard passes and ankle locks that should be helpful to watch.
Take a look below:

Late Night Piano: Art Tatum
by Seth Colter Walls | November 4, 2013
Whether you're entertaining a group, cooking dinner or relaxing with a drink, what's better company than piano music in the after-work hours? We say nothing, so this week we're giving you the chance to unwind with a set of key solo sides by Art Tatum, a man whose first recordings led some to believe that he was cheating somehow. Maybe there was an extra person playing with him? Or he was multitracking? But no: Art Tatum really played that much piano, all on his own.
Playlist opener "Willow Weep for Me" comes from the live portion of a Columbia LP called Piano Starts Here. Not many musicians can get away with titles like that, but by the time this album was released, Tatum had the reputation (and chops) to make the boast stick. His legendary Standard Transcriptions, from the '30s and '40s, electrified listeners (and other pianists). Whether Tatum was "ragging the classics" -- as with Dvorak's "Humoresque" and Massenet's "Elegie" -- or riffing on popular tunes of the day (like "Over the Rainbow"), the ecstasy of his adornments makes each piece sound as though it was tailor-made for the pianist. So click play, and come back next week for some more late night piano.

I'm a fan of this restaurant and the food is creative and delicious. But even though I'm a lifelong New Yorker, I never stop being offended when city restaurant managers ask you to leave because they feel you've lingered too long. I know we were there for 3 hours and I know that rents are high. But deep down I still feel that if we've dropped $500+ on dinner, then we should be able to sit for as long as we want. Offering to find us a space at the bar would have been a classier way to handle it.

It was this past Sunday night and Ally's mom and I needed something fun after a wintry week in NYC that did a number on all. Had two hours as we had to get back to Downton Abbey. Having dined at the various MOMOFUKO spots, I was somewhat dubious how this would translate to midtown - especially in the cavernous former TOWN space at the Chandler Hotel on 56th street. While little was put in the space, and many would be turned off by the lack of any true décor, the food and service more than makes up for it. David Chaing is a very clever and lucky guy whose formula for pleasing the public works. The menu is eclectic from his pork buns, to spectacular oysters, to a knock-out beet salad, to superb Brussels sprouts, to fried chicken. Deserts are a bit underwhelming, but the food was imaginative and really fun. Some portions were small, but mostly not. Service was excellent - nothing short. Can't wait to go back. Amities Gourmandes, ally's dad

Had dinner with my friends past Saturday night. Total disappointment. Food did not taste good, portions are ridiculously small, for dessert had cheese platter and ate all the bread (good-bye my low carb diet...) Service was okey, but I am definitely not coming back!

The pre fixe at Ma Peche was sensational. It is now gone. Instead, small plates/large plates. The noodles and summer rolls were so good, why did you take them away? Went back for a business meeting for 3 and the bill was about 30% higher than in past due to new menu. Will probably not return. Not because of the cost, but the food is no longer Momofuku worthy. Too bad. They even took away the brownie at the end of the pre fixe lunch. We had to buy cookies this time! Please go back to the pre fixe.

Seriously best oysters in the city after repeated visits i am still blown away by the freshness and qualities of the oysters here. Love the non-veggie veggie dishes and a few of the less hardcore items of the mains. Great drinks. Eat at the bar here and avoid the staid room below.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/25/2012
I've been to Ma Peche about 5x with small and large groups. The wait staff is always nice, but not always efficient. They need more staff in the dining room at lunchtime. This is a management issue and not the fault of those on the floor. The food is tasty and the prix fixe is a great value. I must say the staff is always friendly and pleasant. I continue to return and have suggested Ma Peche to others.

The best part about our dining experience was the vegetable plate, which was $18. Other than that the Duck and Lamb was not that flavorful. The portions are very small and pricey. Our service was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Two different people took our orders and never returned to the table. The waiter and waitress never asked how was the food or if we need anything additional. We had to call a bus boy to get the check for us. I would not recommend eating here at all. You would do better at a Food Truck on the corner of 53rd and 5th Ave.

I knew eventually that this chair would turn up and it finally has. This is the Robert Mitchell High-back Arm Chair from his ca. 1902 catalog, model #66-1337 A. The "A" designates the Mahogany version of the chair, which this is. It was also available in quartered Oak – which had 2 finish options: golden or Antwerp. The Oak version was $96 while the Mahogany version was $116 "list price", which suggests that they must have been flexible on final sale price. This chair is the larger, more deluxe version of the other Robert Michell Roman arm chair.
Price today? $3,000 buy-it-now, which includes shipping. More photos and details at the listing.
The back is especially well-carved (click for larger version)

DVD Name: Empire of the Eye: The Magic of Illusion
Grade levels: 4th grade through adult
Category: Art History, Teaching Resource
If you teach linear perspective, then Empire of the Eye: The Magic of Illusion DVD hosted by Al Roker is a must-have. This video is an updated version of Masters of Illusion from the National Gallery of art containing many of the same images, descriptions and musical accompaniments. Empire of the Eye: The Magic of Illusion kept the best of the old and introduced new ideas to help explain perspective concepts. My favorite part of the video is the discussion of anamorphic art including The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger. Use as an introduction, play as students finish perspective drawings, or leave as a sub plan.

Detroit vs. New Orleans
Neither team plays any defense, so Calvin Johnson, Kevin Smith, Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Pierre Thomas, and Lance Moore are all must-starts. Dan Orlovsky and Jeremy Shockey make for good potential sleepers.
St. Louis vs. San Francisco
If Frank Gore is back, he joins Steven Jackson as the only must starts in this game, but Torry Holt is pretty damn close, as is his former teammate, Isaac Bruce. Shaun Hill, Marc Bulger, and even Donnie Avery make good sleepers.
New England vs. Arizona
Did you see what Minnesota (and pretty much any other decent team) did to the Cardinal defense? Matt Cassel, Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker are all must-starts, and pretty much anybody else on the Patriots offense will make a good sleeper. If you managed to survive last week despite relying on some Cardinals stars, the results are mixed. Warner and his top receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, make good starts. Everyone else however, I'd stay away from.]]>
Week 15 in the NFL means playoffs in fantasy circles, and what a week it was. Counting on the Cardinals? Tough break. Starting Jay Cutler? Sucks to be you. Thought TO or Witten was going to respond with a big game? Oops. Not quite.
The point is, this time of year is a strange one in fantasy football. All season long, rosters are generally made up of studs that were drafted and a timely pickup or two. These pickups are the hot fudge on the sundae, but the draft is your ice cream. It's just a pile of sugar without a good draft.
Now, though, things are different. Joseph Addai, Brandon Jacobs, Plaxico Burress, and Frank Gore were all drafted in the first couple of rounds of most drafts, but where are they come playoff time? Injured. Larry Fitzgerald, Jay Cutler, Eddie Royal, LT, and Kurt Warner were all studs this season. This week starting them may have doomed your team, and starting two of them almost certainly did.
The point is that this time of year, it's not always wise to "dance with who brung ya." The goal is, as Herm Edwards, to win the game. This means putting in whoever you think will score the most points, and while it's usually the high draft picks and big names, it isn't always. There are weeks when you start Pierre Thomas over LenDale White, and when you start Tarvaris Jackson over Kurt Warner (okay, a bit of a stretch). Your higher draft picks are going to perform better over the course of a season, but the playoffs are isolated weeks, and you need to make lineup decisions based on your expectations of success for this week.
With that, Scrubs That Kicked Your Week 15 Ass:
QB-Tarvaris Jackson:163 passing yards, 4 touchdowns
WR-Dennis Northcutt:136 total yards, 1 touchdown
WR-Jerheme Urban:82 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
Flex-Pierre Thomas:146 total yards, 2 touchdowns
RB-Tashard Choice:143 total yards, 1 touchdown
RB-Cedric Benson:161 total yards
TE-David Martin: 66 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
If you saw Cedric Benson or Jerheme Urban coming: kudos, liar.
Later this week we'll be back to prepare you for the upcoming week 16, the heart of Fantasy Football playoff time. Tomorrow I'll be suggesting some good early-week pickups and early strategy advice, with rankings by position to follow. Keep up with all the latest news at www.myfantasyball.com]]>
7:55pm: Al Michaels says the over/under on TO getting the ball is 5 minutes and 15 seconds. I'm guessing he arrived at this number by figuring how long it'll take Madden to beat the topic to death, and then adding 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
8:08: The Ravens got hosed. This is clearly setting things up for a Ravens win in Pittsburgh in the playoffs. Karma. I'm sure Ray Lewis won't have anything interesting to say about this, so let's not bother to ask.
8:16: I'm sure it's been said before, but Faith Hill does not make me think about football. She makes me want to gouge my eyes out, which seems counterproductive to NBC. They should rethink this.
8:18: Al and John make a good point–the Cowboys were 10 minutes of football from being happy as clams, coming off a victory in Pittsburgh. They lose that game and all of a sudden they're a clubhouse in turmoil. This place has more drama than a CSI: Miami intro.
8:26: Romo throws his first pass to Witten, but it's just a little outside. I think I heard something about them this week.
8:27: And on cue, Romo throws one off Owens' hands. Witten didn't apply the correct amount of baby powder to the inside of TOs gloves, apparently. Punt!
8:28: DeMarcus Ware sacks Eli, forcing a fumble. TO says Eli and DeMarcus planned that play all week and left him out.
8:29: Cowboys hold, narrowly stopping the Giants on 3rd and 17. Punt!
8:36: Romo throws to Witten (again? Gah!), but its incomplete. This doesn't stop Witten from running to the sideline, either imploring for a challenge or trying to keep TO from beating him up. Punt!
8:37: On the punt a Giant accidentally runs into the kicker, but doesn't "rough" him, so the Giants will keep the ball. Did you ever "rough" anyone? Can you "rough" someone if they're not kicking a football? I didn't think so.
8:44: Danny Ware has been activated for this game, and given himself the nickname of "Water." How intimidating. That won't scare the Cowboys, that'll make them take a pee break at halftime.
8:50: Romo fumbles the snap, then throws the ball to Witten for a couple of yards. Or as TO would say, "Two wrongs don't make a right."
8:52: Marian the Barbarian makes his first appearance with a reception for a first down. I learned the other day that he is a piano virtuoso. True story.
8:54: Flozell Adams gets called for a false start. This would be a good start to a drinking game.
8:56: As Madden is explaining how getting a good pass rush is helpful to having a good pass rush, Romo finds Owens for a big gain and a foray into Giants territory.
9:00: Put your offense in, you take your offense out, you put your offense in, then get 11 penalties that knock your offense out… PUNT!
End of the first:
Cowboys, 0
Giants, 0
9:07: Romo appears to have hurt his back when some fatass landed on it. I'm sure it hurts like hell, but this isn't going to do much for his pretty boy rep. Meanwhile the Giants go nowhere and PUNT!
9:08: Romo is going to do his best Big Ben impression: Get hurt, make sure everyone knows your hurt, then try to play anyway. If you play well, you're a tough guy. If you play poorly, you're a tough guy. A win / win. If the Cowboys win, it's a win / win / win.
9:10: And Romo gets sacked on the first play of the drive. Hey, we've got a hurt quarterback…how about a seven step drop in the face of pressure! Genius! And they follow with a screen. Took them long enough. A draw probably wouldn't hurt either.
9:13: Romo throws a touchdown pass to a black Jason Witten who seems to be wearing #84…Oh, Patrick Crayton you say? Interesting.
The Giants are challenging, saying Romo was past the line of scrimmage. I thought he was, but I'm also pulling a guess out of my ass.
He wasn't past the line. Touchdown. 7-0 Cowboys, 11:11 left in the 2nd.
9:27: The Giants are mounting a solid, decidedly unfunny drive, and just converted a 3rd and 11.
9:30: They end the drive by rolling out John Carney's wheelchair so he can kick the oblong ball through the yellow poles, which the officials decide is exactly 3/7 as good as advancing the ball over the goal line.
Cowboys, 7 Giants, 3
9:40: I have to take a phone call and missed a punt? Gah. The Cowboys are called for defensive interference despite the play actually involving offensive interference. This is a bold call for the referees to make, lets see how this works out for them.
Nevermind, they called it on Smith. Given how the Cowboys reacted initially, you'll have a hard time convincing me nobody looked up to the Jumbotron or was influenced by the crowd on that one.
9:50: Nobody is showing any urgency at the end of the first half. The Cowboys want to go to the locker room, and the Giants want to hear all the interesting stories in the 2nd half.
10:05: Things aren't going well for the Giants offensive line. Andrea Kramer's reporting makes it sound like of the men that entered the locker room, there were no survivors. The 2nd half will be played in their memory.
10:09: Manning throws the ball to Terrence Newman, which normally quarterbacks try to avoid. I think he was tired and needed his juice box. Cowboys ball.
10:11: Al Michaels says Romo grimaced and grunted when he was hit. He ends up sounding like George Costanza describing the sounds on the tape recorder when he left it in his briefcase to see if Susan's parents thought he killed her: its a broadcast about nothing! No wonder he works so well with Madden.
10:20: The entire offensive line meets at Eli, who apparently is safe in a big game of tag. There's 10 guys running around downfield, but I think its an elaborately choreographed dance, since they haven't gotten involved. Punt!
10:25: Andrea Kramer reports that Jason Witten and Tony Romo talked for over an hour on the phone because Jason was taking it hard. I'd really like to side with Witten and Romo against TO on this one, but if they're going to be this whiny and pathetic about the whole thing, it's really hard.
10:29: Barber III gets stuffed on a big 3rd and 1, which only occurred after Michael Johnson damn near threw a punch at a prone TO. I'm not big on protecting football players with unnecessary penalties, but that seemed pretty tough to ignore. Ignore the officials did, though, and there's a PUNT!
10:33: Al Michaels suggests John would want a texas toast sandwich with bacon, eggs and sausage for his final meal. While I remain undecided on the issue of putting John Madden down, there's several dead, fried animals stuffed into one another that would disagree with Al.
End of Three
10:45: A good Choice run, Jason Witten telling Antonio Pierce to respect his personal space, and a short throw to a large man not usually thrown to all ends in a touchdown for the Cowboys.
12 something left
10:48: Could they pack any more commercials into the second half of this game? This is painful. At least make the commercials better. And that Panthers / Giants game looks a lot less impressive now that the Giants could be going in on a two game losing streak. Still good, but all of a sudden Carolina has become the best team in football.
10:52: Michaels just said he didn't think the Giants would miss Jacobs that much. Really? You didn't think the Giants would miss a dominating running back when their best wide receiver is suspended for shooting himself in the leg and their offensive line is banged up? What, then, qualifies you to broadcast professional football games for a living? I'll wait. Punt!
10:56: This is Tom Coughlin's offense. He should be the one to take it out back and put it down.
10:59: Barber time. This will speed things up. If Barber is even 80% and the offense doesn't hold itself back, this one is over.
And with that, there's a false start penalty, followed by Madden saying he didn't think Barber was right, and Romo throwing a ball as far as he can to win a bet with Brad Johnson.
11:01: This is quickly followed by a sack where the offensive line just lets the Giants go through. Apparently they're mad Romo isn't throwing them the ball enough, too. And Romo isn't getting up…
11:05: The Giants seem to have gotten a little energy from the safety. The offensive line has decided that these Cowboys aren't so nice after all, and don't deserve the repeated introductions to Eli.
11:08: The Giants remember around the 25 that they don't know what they're doing, and stall to let the old man kick the ball again. They get another 3 points for their effort, and make it a one score game.
11:11: Michaels informs us that the Ravens will be visiting Dallas next Saturday night. It's been nice knowing you, Tony. Services will be held the following Tuesday, I'd guess.
11:13: Tashard Choice would like to let everyone know he is okay at running the football as well, getting the 'Boys in position for a short 3rd down, which Barber quickly converts. You can tell he can't cut the way he normally would, but he still launched himself into the chest of a DB. Gotta love that.
11:17: Madden tells us that once you start taking timeouts to stop the clock, that's in an effort to win. Thanks, John.
11:18: Witten makes a catch and earns a first down, much to the dismay of TO. Game over, goodnight folks.
11:19: Tashard Choice waves as he runs past all the Giants heading toward the line of scrimmage, hoping their meeting with the offensive line went well. Touchdown, Tashard.
It's amazing how well the Cowboys rebounded from narrowly losing a difficult game on the road. This was clearly a case of "mountains out of molehills," but it makes for a great story when Dallas pulls it together and beats a team missing key parts of its O-Line, and its two best skill position players. I still think they will only win one playoff game at best, but I've been known to be wrong before.
Goodnight all, and thanks for your time.]]>
Bernard Berrian puts the Vikings on the board with a punt return for a touchdown. As long as AP doesn't go off, I'll be happy.
Randy Moss and Kevin Faulk have helped Matt Cassel get off to a good start, each scoring a touchdown to give the Pats a 14-0 lead early.
Someone must've told the Cardinals they're the Cardinals. Tarvaris Jackson has two touchdown passes, one to the aforementioned Berrian, and the Vikes are up 21-0.
Johnnie Lee Higgins, most famously known for sounding more like a presidential assassin than catching passes in the NFL, catches a ball thrown by Jamarcus Russel in a painted area giving his team six points. A short kick immediately thereafter gives the Raiders another point, making the score 21-7.
This is followed by what appears to be (based on ESPN Gamecast) back to back kickoff returns for touchdowns. This is pretty irrelevant fantasy-wise, but interesting if you're a fan of kickoff returners (Little Known Fact: My AOL SN is MelGray4Lyfe!!!).
Moving on. Still pretty much nothing going on in Baltimore, just field position and field goals. I'm waiting for the inevitable safety to spice things up and tilt this one way or the other.
Jerheme Urban owners, rejoice! He has angered his purple overlords by finding the end zone. 28-7 Vikes.
The 2nd half of these games have been as boring as I'd predicted the whole things would be, so I guess I was half right. I'm going to split now for a few minutes and be back at 8 for the liveblog of the Cowboys / Giants tilt on NBC. As always, thanks for reading.]]>
In conclusion, I'll be liveblogging the Giants / Cowboys game.]]>
Dolphins QB Chad Pennington is also on the board early against a suddenly mediocre (hey, it's a step up for them) 49er squad. With no Frank Gore, if the Dolphins get another early score this one could get out of hand quickly, which is good news for Pennington / Ronnie Brown / Ricky Williams owners.
Dominic Rhodes has found the end zone as well, to the surprise of nobody. Update: Now he has two, the second giving the Colts the lead in the fourth quarter.
On the other hand, David Garrard has a passing touchdown. He's making me look bad for saying he shouldn't be played today, but I wouldn't be counting on Dennis Northcutt to keep the Jags passing offense afloat (knock on wood…)
The Rams have scored on a pass to Torry Holt, who surprisingly is still alive. It's just his third TD this year.
Bengals QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has accounted for two early touchdowns against the Redskins. In related news, someone check the weather in Hell.
WR Andre Johnson has 5 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. There are almost 8 minutes left in the first half. He. Is. Good.
Don't look now, but JP Losman is being surprisingly adequate. After a rough start he's got two touchdowns.
Update: And his fumble with less than two minutes left in the fourth is returned for a touchdown, giving the Jets the lead when it looked like the Bills could run the clock out. That's the JP I know (though one has to ask why they weren't running the ball with Marshawn Lynch or Fred Jackson, who have been strong all game long).
Update Number Two: Losman throws an INT, and this will about do it. Ha, remember when some numbskull writer said he was "surprisingly adequate"? Moron…
Bucs WR Antonio Bryant snuck in a touchdown when nobody was looking, showing that he's not the attention seeking mouth off that Emmitt said he was. Then again, Emmitt says a lot of things that nobody understands:
-"If you want to stay perfect, you cannot go undefeated with a blemish on your record."
-(On the Cowboys being an elite team, in the same league with the Colts / Pats): "The Dallas Cowboys are not far behind. They are a distant third. They're close but they're not quite there yet."
-And my favorite (referencing Jimmy Valvano)…"Don't quit. Don't even quit."
And back to the updates!
Dallas Clark is having a big game today, with 8 catches and a touchdown. Remember when he was supposed to be a top 5 fantasy tight end? Me neither.
You know who should be on everyone's radar for next season? Kevin Smith. He had a great college career, then gets dumped into Detroit. They have to be better next season (by default), and I think Smith could be a big part of that if he gets even a decent offensive line. He's averaging 4.7 ypc today, so of course that means stud QB Dan Orlovsky has chucked it 21 times.
Update: Smith now has a touchdown run. You're welcome for the heads up, Mr. Marinelli.
Steven Jackson has scored a touchdown as well. Nice to see he finally realized he's still a professional football player. If you drafted Dallas Clark and Jackson, you probably felt okay about your team in August. Of course, you're also probably reading this while the guys that picked up John Carlson and Peyton Hillis play in the championship.
LT has scored a touchdown too. Tomlinson…Clark…Jackson…Pennington…Retro week in fantasy football. It's like they made it a point all season long to screw over any owner that drafted them, then they twist the knife in week 15. Thanks, asshats.
Jags RB Maurice Jones-Drew gets in on the action and finally scores a touchdown in response to WR Greg Jennings scoring for the Packers. Like I said before, he's the only offense they have left. It was bound to happen eventually.
For anyone watching the Bills / Jets game: Am I the only one that has noticed they keep playing the TI song that starts with MIA singing "no one on the corner has swagger like us, swagger like us, swagger swagger like us…" over and over? The song is repetitive enough as it is, I don't need to hear the intro 10 times in 3 hours. Sweet Jebus.]]>
Jeff Garcia is the 3rd quarterback today against the Falcons, meaning Brian Griese will get the start. Griese threw it about 100 times in Chicago, so there's no telling how productive Griese could be today. I know Atlanta is 23rd in the NFL against the pass, so this makes Griese an interesting option if you're facing quarterback trouble this week.
Update: It's now possible that both Griese and the other backup, Luke McCown, could see time today against the Falcons.
JP Losman will get another start for the Bills, with starting QB Trent Edwards inactive for today's game against the Jets. This is only relevant if your league requires 2+ starting quarterbacks, I hope.
QB Matt Cassel will start today against the Raiders. I anticipate him having a huge day, with Randy Moss as the catalyst as he returns to Oakland.
RB Tashard Choice should get the lion's share of the carries today against the Giants, even if RB Marion Barber III returns and plays. Barber is still affected by his injured pinky toe, and will see limited carries even if he does play. Choice wasn't terribly impressive running the ball last week against the Steelers, but nobody is. His ability to catch passes out of the backfield means that 100 total yards and a score aren't out of the question, making Choice a nice sleeper pick if you're one of many owners affected by injuries in the backfield today.
Lions RB Kevin Smith is active today against the Colts, and could be the lone Lion to have a decent day today. The Colts struggle against the run without Bob Sanders, and guess who the Colts are without today? The Lions will try to control the ball and stay in the game against the Colts (especially with Culpepper out), and I anticipate Smith being a big part of that. He makes for another good sleeper if you're desperate for backfield help.
QB Matt Hasselbeck is inactive for today's game, despite hopes earlier in the week that he'd be able to go today. Seneca Wallace will start in his place today, and will be facing the 24th ranked defense against the pass, the St. Louis Rams. With Deion Branch that finally healthy, Wallace could be poised for a good game. He's definitely worthy of a starting spot in standard leagues today.
Correction: Hasselbeck is active, but as the third QB. There are rules in place that effectively prohibit the use of a 3rd QB, save in an emergency situation.
With WR Matt Jones suspended (finally!), putting WR Jerry Porter on the inactive list today makes the Jags passing game even more anemic. QB David Garrard gets taken down a notch and should not be playing on fantasy rosters. With this, though, RB Maurice Jones-Drew becomes the only offense in town (RB Fred Taylor is out for the season), and should have a big game today.]]>
It's amazing that we made is this far, especially considering the resources available to some of our larger competitors (including FOX Sports and Fantasy Football dot com). It's even more amazing considering our gaffes during the offseason, which include only using a little over half of our league's available salary cap. This week we're facing the overwhelming favorites, FF Toolbox.
This is the live scoring page that I'll be anxiously checking frequently on Sunday. They owe an early lead to QB Drew Brees' quality game in Chicago on Thursday, but we've gotten this far on grit and moxie, there's nothing saying we can't pull out another one.
And next year maybe we'll spend what our momma gave us.]]>
Myth: The Broncos had to put 3 RBs on the IR to get Tatum Bell playing time.
Fact: The Broncos had to put 4 RBs on the IR to get Tatum Bell playing time.
These next few weeks will put coach Mike Shanahan's revolving backfield to the test—if the teams' 6th (at least) RB can put up decent numbers, then just about anyone can. Hell, who would have bet that Peyton Hillis would be a late season fantasy factor above his fellow RB rookies from Arkansas, Felix Jones and Darren McFadden? Bell will get some chances because, well, there's nobody else. At least nobody has slipped on a McDonalds bag yet…Â
Before you go grab Bell and put him in your lineup, consider that the Broncos all but have the AFC Weak, errr, AFC West, wrapped up. Why risk losing yet another back when you can air it out to your heart's content and save him for the Wild-Card round? Bell should get some chances and be a decent flex option if you own one of several RBs who went down Sunday (Portis, Gore, Jacobs, Addai, and the aforementioned Hillis).
Honorable mention goes to Dominic Rhodes, who should get a chance to shine following another disappointing performance from the injury riddled Joseph Addai, after a 1.5 year hiatus in Oakland and as Addai's backup. Now with two injuries (that the Colts admit to, at least), Addai should get some quality time with Jim Sorgi and the other clipboard kings, with the Colts having all but locked up a playoff spot of their own after a slow start. And facing the Lions this week, Rhodes could have a big game.
Also considered: Tashard Choice RB-Dal, Derrick Ward RB-NYG, Pierre Thomas RB-NOW, Steve Smith WR-NYG, Deion Branch WR-SEA, Tavaris Jackson QB-MIN

How to Create a Doll Salon
Do your dolls have a wedding or party coming up? Do you need a place where they can get primped and dressed up for the occasion? Here are directions to make a fantastic salon for your doll!
1Get an empty box big enough to fit your dolls and their furniture. You can get some from the supermarket.Ad
2Cut off the front side of the box so that you can see and reach inside. If you like, cut a few windows in the three remaining sides. You can use a bread knife or an Exacto knife to do this (if you're a child, let an adult complete this step).
3Get some plain paper or pre-decorated paper (such as wrapping paper or scrapbook paper). If you use plain paper, paint or color it. Use your imagination!
4Cut the paper to fit the outside and inside walls of the box, and attach it with glue or packing tape. You can add details with markers or scrap paper. Suggestions include wall clocks, window boxes, art, posters, rugs or wood flooring (popsicle sticks work great for this). Look at the inside of commercial doll houses for inspiration.
5Add furniture (store-bought or homemade) and play with your dolls and salon!Ad
We could really use your help!

More eateries means congestion
Well, another restaurant has been approved for the congested area of Whiskey Road.
Doesn't anyone on the zoning board see a problem with that decision? Apparently not.
There are more than seven restaurants, not including the fast food eateries, in that area.
There are so many other locations without the congestion that could be utilized and yet the decision is made to allow another business in that area.
This town is looking more and more like the overbuilt and congested areas that we left behind in the northern states.
The quality of life of Aiken that appealed to so many is being destroyed by people on a zoning board who look only at dollar signs from more city taxes.

Focusing on Chinese culture
By Steve Bennett : May 24, 2012 : Updated: May 25, 2012 4:16pm

Peter Brown's "Peace Girl" captures a youthful, defiant spirit alive and well in China. She's in front of the Forbidden Palace.

San Antonio photographer Al Rendon was impressed with the friendliness of the people of China during a 10-day visit last year. He shot "Welcome to China" while wandering through the giant 798 Art Zone in Beijing.

San Antonio photographer Ansen Seale used his slitscan panoramic camera to capture "Orderly Ways." The technique records the passage of a span of time.
More Information
Wandering through the mammoth 798 Art Zone in Beijing last fall, Al Rendon's photographer's eye was drawn to a young couple dressed to thrill for a night on the town. He: a powder blue prom jacket with white trim, white pants and white leather shoes. She: a vintage woolly overcoat set off by hot pink stockings and lavender spike heels.
"We were in 798, which is this amazing arts district, with all these galleries and cafés and shops in this huge old warehouse complex, sort of like Blue Star on steroids," Rendon said last week. "And I encountered this couple and asked if I could take their picture. They just smiled, flashed me a V for victory and kept going on their way.
"It was just so far from what I was expecting in China. The people were very friendly and accommodating. What amazed me was that China was both completely different from San Antonio and also quite familiar."
A life-size print of the image — titled "Welcome to China" — greets visitors to "Texas Photographers: Descriptions of China," a fresh and fascinating new exhibition of some 75 photographs on view through Sunday at the Institute of Texan Cultures.
The exhibition is a little like a tour of rural and urban China, an encounter with everyone from ditch diggers to opera singers.
It extends a cultural exchange between the University of Texas at San Antonio and the China Photographers Association punctuated by the "Images Speak to the World: Today's China" exhibition here in 2010.
Last November, visitors to the 14th annual China International Photographic Art Exhibition discovered "Infinite Horizons: Visions of Texas," featuring the work of five Texas photographers.
Facilitated by UTSA President Ricardo Romo, a well-respected photographer in his own right, and Donald Lien, director of Confucius Institute at UTSA, those photographers — Rendon, Romo and Ansen Seale from San Antonio, Joel Salcido from Austin and Peter Brown of Houston — were invited on a four-city, 10-day tour of China. They hit Beijing, Shanghai, Lishui City and Wenzhou, taking in the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen Square, as well as small country villages.
"Texas is largely unknown to the Chinese, and similarly, China is a mystery to Texans," Lien said. "One way to improve understanding is through photography. Images can tell us so much."
Romo, whose exhibition of Easter family traditions in Brackenridge Park is on view at the Witte Museum, again focused on faces, such as a smiling vegetable vendor in a Lishui street market and theatrical performers.
"We went to a small town and got to see a play that's been performed for hundreds of years," he said. "I like to look at small communities and how they unite and celebrate together."
Brown's "Peace Girl" is perhaps the exhibition's most arresting image. It shows a young girl in a yellow jacket decorated with the words Love and Hot Lips flashing a familiar V at the entrance to the Forbidden City, a soldier at attention and a portrait of Mao in the background. Like "Welcome to China," the image captures a youthful spirit of resistance that is apparently alive and well in China's big cities.
"People seem to really enjoy life," said exhibition curator Arturo Almeida, who accompanied the photographers on the trip. "The exhibition shows another side to the culture that you don't hear about in the news."
While Romo, Brown and Rendon are more documentary photographers, Seale's and Salcido's approach is more artistic.
Salcido's muted, painterly pictures, such as "Great Wall," evoke Chinese watercolor, while Seale created some remarkable images, including "Orderly Way," using his slitscan photography system.
The photographer invented a digital panoramic camera about the size of a small toaster that examines a single sliver of space over an extended period of time, shooting multiple images and yielding amazing results — unmoving objects are blurred and moving bodies are rendered clearly.
"Rather than capturing a single moment, my photography examines the passage of time," Seale said.
Almeida said the photographers, traveling in a group, initially worried that they'd all end up with the same images.
"I told them that I guaranteed that wouldn't happen," he said. "And, of course, it didn't, even when they shot basically the same subject. Each has his own eye, and it was very exciting to be there with them and see what they focused on and how they made images. We experienced so much over there, and you can see it in these photographs. They are just so full of life."
