David Goldblatt, Part 4
Here's a little trifle, interesting only because it seems incongruous for David Goldblatt's work to appear in a magazine with such a cover. Pix is a South African version of Popular Photography--tricks in PhotoShop, lenses to use, equipment reviews, etc. The text about Goldblatt is mostly platitudes and information about equipment and film.

Richard Misrach
Show and Tell today features gallery announcements for shows of Richard Misrach's work. They tend to be more graphically interesting than most.
The title of this first show is
From My Front Porch
. I don't really know what to say about having a view like this from one's front porch. Had I such a view from my front porch, I'm not sure I would ever leave the porch. For any reason. Might miss something.
There was a book of this work called
Golden Gate,
produced by Arena in 2001 and reissued in 2005 by Aperture.
1999 - Robert Mann Gallery, NYC
(26 x 5 inch heavy glossy paper, folded three times to produce a 6.5 x 5 inch pamphlet
that opens once to a double gate-fold )
Opened once
Both gatefolds open
This show was held in conjunction with the release of his book,
The Sky Book
, Arena Editions.
2000 - Curt Marcus Gallery, NYC
(6 x 4.25 inch, stiff card, printed one side)
2002 - Robert Mann Gallery, NYC
(10.5 x 8.5 stiff card)
On The Beach
series was published in book form in 2007 by Aperture. It's huge: 20 inches wide by 16 inches. This trend toward huge books is a little disconcerting. Where do you put these in a studio apartment? I feel like I need a bookstand just to go through the book.
I looked into bookstands a couple of years ago and found that most are custom made these days (those that are of any interest stylistically or of any useful size for photography books.) But to get one big enough to hold this--40 inches across when open--would be prohibitively expensive.
2004 - Pace/MacGill, Chelsea, NYC
(35 x 16 inch glossy poster, folded three times to produce a 8 x 8.75 inch pamphlet)
was mounted concurrent with the release of a book of the same name, an overview of Misrach's career. And again, it's big--12.5 x 15.5 inches and weighs over 8 pounds--with, according to the back of this show announcement, 125 "extraordinary" reproductions. It is a nice book.

Goldblatt Honoured
For his Acute Perception
SA photographer wins award for his portrayal of social and political life in country of his birth
By Demian Van Der Reijden
SOUTH AFRICAN PHOTOGRAPHER David Goldblatt (75) has been awarded the 2006 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography, the organisation announced yesterday.
"I feel honoured," Goldblatt said. "But I feel strange as well. Many people who won this prize before me are great photographers I've admired all my life. Being among the greatest in my profession is...strange."
Goldblatt won the prize for his lifelong portrayal of the social and political life in South Africa, the Hasselblad Foundation said.
"His acute historical and political perception provides a sense of the texture of daily life, and an important piece of missing information regarding life, under apartheid in South Africa," the citation noted.
He will receive his prize, a golden medal and 500,000 krona (almost R400,000), at a ceremony in December in Goteborg, Sweden. The award will be made by a member of the Swedish royal family.
The winner of the prestigious annual prize is disclosed on March 8, the anniversary of the birthday of the founder of the Hasselblad camera equipment company, Victor Hasselblad.
"I knew I won for a couple of months already, but I had to keep it a secret," Golblatt said.
"I held an exhibition on Reunion Island last December, when I got a call from Sweden. Of course there were some people close to me who also knew."
Goldblatt, who lives in Johannesburg, ventured into photography during high school. Several collections of his photographs have been published as books, and his works have been displayed at museums all over the world.
"This is actually the third prize in photography I have won, as far as I can remember. The first I won when I was only 16--it was a Meccano photography prize. The second one was in the late eighties, the Camera Austria prize. And now this. I was really surprised, because the nominees are never revealed," a happy Goldblatt concluded.
The Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation promotes scientific education and research in natural sciences and photography.
The Hasselblad Foundation's citation reads: "David Goldblatt's work is a life-long observation of the social and political developments within South African society.
"He has been concerned to explore the relationship between individual subjects
and the structures within which they live.
"His interest in the violent history of his country, and his awareness of the symbolic significance of architecture, form an extraordinary statement both personal and socio-political.
"Photography," in the words of David Goldblatt, reveals "something of the subtlety and ambiguity of our shifting and frequently contradictory perceptions of reality".
"The reason why Goldblatt has been chosen for the Hasselblad Award is because his photographs are acute in historical and political perception."

David Goldblatt, Part 2
In 2006, David Goldblatt was given the Hasselblad Award. The local papers and magazines in South Africa took the opportunity to write about what the photographer had been up to. Here is one of those articles from a magazine called
and luckily for us, this interview appeared just before the magazine folded. I'll post one tomorrow from a newspaper.

And The Guru Sails On
Why older bodies fascinate South Africa's most famous Photographer
Why he sometimes employs an armed guard
And what David Goldblatt will wear to the Hasselblad Foundation Award in Sweden
By Hilary Prendlnl Toffoll
Photography by Nick Aldridge of Hurricanes
THE BODY ON THE COVER of Antjie Krog's latest volume of poetry, Body Bereft, belongs to a woman in her 60s. You can't see her face. What you can see are her surprisingly young-looking boobs. The photograph was taken by David Goldblatt, who is more renowned for his unsettling portraits of ordinary South Africans in ordinary situations, clothed. Those iconic images, layered with meaning, are on another stretch of more political turf altogether from these ambiguous shots of naked people past their youth.
"As a photographer l have always been aware of our bodies," he says during a visit to Cape Town, where he has his prized printmaker, Tony Meintjies. "The marks that life leaves on our bodies, the tensions that exist between the various parts...It's something I have pursued over the years. When Antjie Krog wrote to me, wanting photographs of older people, we found a shared interest."
The interest did not, however, lead to a collaboration, as it had earlier in his career with Nadine Gordimer, whose short stories inspired two of Goldblatt's 10 books. "Suddenly I was reading in the most precise pungent way about the Witwatersrand we grew up on..."
Ironically, most of his books, though sought-after collector's items, have been commercial disasters. "Copies of In Boksburg now go for about R3,000, but at the time the book just about bankrupted my friend Paul Alberts who published it. I can't live off my books. Royalties bear no relation to what goes into them.
"On the other hand, what have become ridiculously lucrative are my print sales to collectors and museums. The art market for photographs has really taken off, though I suspect it might be based on fashion. It's a bubble. The people at Michael Stevenson and Goodman Gallery work very hard on my behalf. So here I am on the doorstep of dotage actually earning a living."
He turns 76 on November 29, when he'll be in Sweden collecting the 2006 Hasselblad Foundation Award from a member of the Swedish royal family'd0the kroner equivalent of R400,000. With him will be his wife Lily, a social worker with whom he lives in what he describes as "a comic book Cape Dutch house built in 1938 on the wrong side of the tracks, in a suburb called Fellside next to Houghton." They have three children'd0Brenda, the filmmaker, in Britain, and his sons, Steven the advocate and Ronnie the website designer, in Johannesburg.
Though South Africa's most famous photographer says he hasn't received many prizes, he's been the subject of two documentaries and 13 international exhibitions, as well as endless local ones. Between 2001 and 2005 a David Goldblatt retrospective was shown in New York, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Lisbon, Oxford, Brussels, Munich and Johannesburg, and he currently has work in major public collections in New York, San Francisco, Paris, Cologne, Vienna, Perth and London. Not bad for a Randfontein boykie whose Lithuanian Jewish father had a men's outfitting store. Goldblatt worked there till the age of 32, when his father died and he sold the business to devote himself full time to photography.
It was at the height of apartheid. "I had a sort of missionary zeal to tell the world what was happening here, but I soon realised I couldn't be an activist with a camera. I'm physically a coward. I shy away from confrontation. What I'm most interested in is photographing the underbelly of society."
The pioneer of this type of reportage in his homeland, he remains careful not to exploit his subjects. "As a photographer you have considerable power. You can see what your subjects look like but they can't. You can do a hatchet job, which I confess I have done in some of my political portraits in Leadership magazine. My overriding wish is to present the complexities of reality. We're all a mixture, not wholly good or wholly bad. The challenge is to allow the viewer to find his own way into the photograph, unless it's a shot like the one I did of a Pretoria policeman in Church Square. There's no way you can read anything but evil into that face."
He's been mugged twice while working. "Now, when I work in central Johannesburg and the townships I have an armed guard. Thabo works quietly, doesn't make himself obvious. But still it's a step backwards. I always felt if I showed people I trusted them, they'd trust me."
Though he attended tbe openings of his retrospective he tends to find overseas travel disruptive. "The threads that you work with, that exist in your conscious mind, are fragile. They get lost, buggered up by air travel."
More rewarding is driving around South Africa, capturing his visions upside down and the wrong way round on large-format film. Often alone.
Though the Hasselblad invitation says 'black tie' he feels he's entitled to a certain amount of license. "I have reduced my life to the bare essentials, nothing I regard as fat." So he might opt for something traditional, like a Mandela shirt.

Margaret Bourke-White
While we're on the subject of Maggie Bourke-White, here are some gallery invites and booklets that accompanied shows of her work.
The first may be from an exhibit held at the George Eastman House in 1956. It doesn't say so, and the copyright is "Time, Inc.", but I've seen references to a booklet produced for the Eastman House show and it's description matches this one exactly.
(10.5 x 7 inches, 8 pages of stiff card, saddle-stiched)
First spread
Second spread
Third spread
Back cover
Bourke-White bequeathed a collection of prints, negatives, and personal papers to the Bird Library at Syracuse University. This next booklet was produced for a show at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse. The images were culled from 2500 negatives in the library's holdings and printed by some of the students in the Photography department.
The first spread is not an optical illusion but is instead a rather significant design flaw. The first page is a half page which obscures some of the text below but not in a way that makes any sense. Type from the half page reads into the text on the next page. (Students, will they never learn?) Furthermore, the headline typeface is too cutesy next to photographs of deprivation and hard work.
Let's digress for a moment and address that photo of Maggie on the second spread where she manages to out-swashbuckle even Robert Capa. This photo reminds me of a Far Side cartoon. The idea of the cartoon was an archeologist's Indiana Jones fantasy: an Australopithecus skull in one hand and a hot babe in the other. In my younger days, I'd look at that photo of her--where you could be forgiven for thinking she had been piloting the plane behind her--and think: yes sir, that's what being a photojournalist is all about. Zipping around the globe from conflict to conflict, bringing the truth back to an eagerly waiting audience and looking great all the way.
Later, I heard Don McCullin talk about his life and that was end of that daydream.

The last ephemeral item I have is a 1975 show announcement from the Robert Schoelkopf Gallery.
Between 1966 and 1979, Schoelkopf's gallery was the only gallery in New York City that showed painting and sculpture with photography as fine art. He represented the work of Brassai and Cartier-Bresson though he was primarily interested in antiquarian photography and the work of 19th and 20th century masters such as Atget, Brady, Watkins, and Cameron.
Schoelkopf's first show of photography was of Walker Evans' work and between 1966 and 1977, the gallery held five solo exhibits of Evans (including one concurrent with the 1971 MoMA retrospective of Evans' work.) Given the economy of the 1970s, by 1979, Schoelkopf decided to more narrowly focus the gallery on painting and sculpture exclusively. He died in 1991.
(8.5 x 11 inch stiff card folded once to produce a 5.5 x 8.5 inch card, back cover blank)
And finally, moving from the ephemeral to the substantive, here is an example of her signature, in this case from a copy of Portrait of Myself.
She started the book in 1955, soon after was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and didn't finished it until 1962. I suspect her pre-Parkinson's signature is bolder but I've not seen one so can't say for certain. The book was published in 1963 and was popular. So popular that it's a very common book. The reproductions in the book are nice. They look like gravures but I don't think they can be. Also, very nice typeface on the cover.
I respect Bourke-White's work and like quite a bit of it. During World War II she was "as close" as Capa or Smith, besides which I think that anyone who covered that war had to be brave or they had to do their reporting from another continent. An excellent overview of her work is the volume UTC published for the 1988 ICP touring show. Gorgeous binding, tipped in photo to the cover, excellent reproductions.
In the same vein (work not production values), I recently saw the powerHouse book of Wayne Miller's work. I was unfamiliar with his work and that was a revelation. Wonderful stuff. His images from aircraft carriers during WWII are very good--a bit heroic at times, but generally gritty and intimate.

The American Artists' Congress
This isn't strictly a photography ephemera post. But it does include the participation of some photographers.
What we have here is material from the American Artist's Congress.
In response to the call of the Popular Front and the American Communist Party for formations of literary and artistic organizations against the spread of Fascism, a group of New York artists gathered in 1935--among them, George Ault, Peter Blume, Stuart Davis, Adolph Denn, William Gropper and Moses Soyer--to draw up a call to action document. From there, the AAC was formed.
It was meant to be a non-sectarian collective of appeal to artists who believed that the cultural crisis was a reflection of the economic crisis of the Great Depression. Their specific concerns were violations of international civil liberties, the inadequacy of government programs, censorship, and the decline of traditional forms of patronage.
This first piece is the program from the first night of the first Congress held February 14, 1936, in NYC. Their stance, "Against War and Fascism," is delineated with a list of the original members on the inside. Looking over the list you can see that Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Ralph Steiner, Margaret Bourke-White and Barbara Morgan were among the original signatories. These papers are from Barbara and Willard Morgan's estate and you can see either his or her notes along the margin on the inside. They were married in 1936 but I'm assuming these are her notes since his name is not on the program.
The back of this document is the program for the evening and among the list of speakers is Bourke-White. There was a book published which reprinted the speeches from the evening. I don't have it but an image of the cover follows the program.
(14 x 13 inch sheet of heavy paper, printed one side, folded twice to produce a 7 x 6.5 inch booklet)
Here are the by-laws of the organization. I've spared you the gory details of how members are picked and what the duties of the the central executive board are and besides which, as you read through it and come to the climax, well...the last page has been torn off so it's a bit of a let-down.
(16 page booklet, 3.5 x 6 inches)
An invitation to submit work to a show of "contemporary graphic art" to be shown simultaneously in thirty cities in the U.S. in December of 1936.
(8.5 x 11 sheet of thin paper)
An invite to the opening of the show of work by the New York region members, held in April of 1937.
(6.25 x 4.5 inch, thick card stock, printed one side)
By the next Congress, December of 1937, they were a little more moderate in tone. The theme this time was "For Peace, For Democracy, For Cultural Progress."
Despite the fact that all the artists who were instrumental in forming the organization were established figures of the Communist Left, their literature took great pains to be non-sectarian and membership was open to any established artist. When the congress endorsed the Soviet Union's invasion of Finland in 1940, a number of prominent members quit and publicly denounced the AAC. It survived through 1941 but dissolved soon after the U.S. entrance into the war.
The AAC was instrumental in bringing Picasso's
to the U.S. in 1939 when it made it's fund-raising world tour.

A Life in the Glare of Celebrity
Let's talk about David Bailey for a moment.
I never quite understood how big a deal he was in London in the 1960s and 70s. He was actually a celebrity.
So? One could be forgiven for asking. You'll die not knowing a lot of things so is this really one of the most important bits of knowledge for you to die owning?
No. But the guy's kind of interesting.
Of course, I've always known he was the model for the lead character in Blow Up, which I saw again within the last couple of years and was pleasantly surprised at how well it held up.
I certainly knew he had photographed most everyone who was anyone in those days, and that should have been a clue as to the degree of his own fame. (But then, Irving Penn did as well, in his day, and Fred Astaire never played him in a movie.)
But I didn't know he was married to Catherine Deneuve (her only marriage.) It was only for a minute or two as in the end they realized they didn't speak the same language and therefore could not communicate. Stuff like that happens I suppose when one marries and divorces more genetically-gifted women than can be found in the average September issue of Vogue. (If I was pressed for the truth I would admit they were actually married for 5 years.)
Further, he claims to have slept with 350 of the models he photographed. Well, I don't know...that's so far afield my ken that all I can imagine is that those photo-sessions must have been so exhausting and what he meant was that they were compelled to take a nap.
Be that as it may, this is all by way of presenting a couple of press photos I found of Bailey and his women. (Yes, yes, a very slight post.)
First, we have him in 1969 at the publication party for Goodbye Baby and Amen with his then-girlfriend Penelope Tree, who was a pretty big deal in her day. According to the caption, everyone who was anyone showed up.
(6 x 8 inches)
And in 1975 with his then-wife Marie Helvin, another well-known model at the time. (Looking at this photo, I wonder: why the walking stick?) Helvin is the subject of all the images in David Bailey's Trouble and Strife, which, as a model, must have been difficult shoots for her. There aren't enough clothes in the whole book to fill Carl Perkin's Matchbox.
(6 x 8 inches)
So given those two images, I decided to make this a "way of all flesh" sort of a rumination. The guy was handsome young and his face is pretty interesting as it ages. So here is a portrait from a 1988 article in American Photo. (Note the author.)
(8 x 10.5 inches)
Here's a later pic. Same pose.
Finally, this is his publicity photo that runs in all the "contributors" pages of magazines he shoots for. This one is in Vanity Fair, edited by the above noted author.
And for goodness' sake, he still hasn't finished that cigar.
Coming up, in no particular order, some Bourke-White booklets, the 1936 Artists' Congress, and Misrach announcement cards and posters.

Switching from Public to Private School
|Related Pages
My son will most likely be attending a private high school (although we are looking at two charter high schools as well) next school year. He currently goes to a middle school in Berkeley and is zoned in for Berkeley High. However, we have decided not to send him -- he is not used to such a huge school (has always been in small schools) and thrives when he is in smaller class sizes. We are also concerned about the safety of students in Berkeley High, class sizes, academics, etc.
- Is there a way on making the public to private school transition easier for him? He knows he won't be attending BHS next year, and is not very happy with the idea, as he thinks he won't be able to talk or hang out with his friends anymore. Is there someway we can assure him that he'll still be able to spend time with them?
Thank you! -family switching from public to private
We have two boys, one of whom is in second grade at Thousand Oaks and one who will start kindergarten next year. Our sons kindergarten year was great at Thousand Oaks, but about 1/2 way through last year, we started feeling dissatisfied with our sons experience at Thousand Oaks (academically, socially, multiple reasons). We are considering sending our second son to a private school (Prospect Sierra, if possible)and also transfering our older son to this school as well at the start of next year (3rd grade). I am curious what other parent's experience has been in terms of how easy it is to transfer into private schools if you wait until the 3rd or 4th grade- both how your childs experience is and how easy it was to be accepted as a transfer into the private school of your choice? Thanks, -Anon
As for the adjustment issue, I transferred my son from Berkeley public to a private school when he was in 3rd grade. He wasn't very happy about moving schools at the time because he liked his school. But even though it was hard to do, I think it was the right decision because the private school was better able to serve him academically. He eventually adjusted, and I was also glad that since the school is K-8, he didn't have to make another switch at middle school. These are hard choices to make. Good luck. anon
I would like to have the opinion of parents who opted to transfer their child from public to private schools and vice versa. Any regret or, at the contrary, satisfaction ? I am considering to have my child start 6th grade in a private school next year after he was in a elementary public school in Berkeley, but I am still hesitating. Thanks for any relevant experience in this matter.
My daughter is currently enrolled in a public school but will be switching to a private school next year. She's not making this change at a standard entry year, such as kindergarten or middle school. What kind of transitional issues should I be aware of, and what questions should I ask of her new school before she begins in September? I'd love to hear from other parents who have transitioned from public to private about their experiences and any suggestions they may have about making this a smooth change. What do you wish you had known, and how do you suggest I prepare? We're very excited to be joining this new school and want to do what we can to have a wonderful experience from the start. Thanks, parents! anon
We are considering switching our daughter to a private school after this year (she is currently in Kindergarten). We did open enrollment and she is in a decent public school in North Oakland. While this school has good arts and music programs, we are concerned about the overall quality of the curriculum- a lot of open-court, inability to differentiate instruction based on different learning levels, homework at Kindergarten (lots of it), too many worksheets,a focus on teaching to the test, an emphasis on extrinsic rewards for learning and a shift in our daughter's attitude towards school and learning. Our child has always been a very intellectually curious person and loved going to pre-school. She is complaining of being bored at school and she is starting to view school and homework as a chore. I've also noticed a shift in her attitude toward trying things she doesn't know how to do (if she can't get it perfect, she doesn't want to do it). I've read the previous postings on the network. This is my challenge, I fundamentally disagree with the curriculum and instructional philosophy being implemented at my daughter's school. While socially she is very happy there, I am concerned about this shift in attitude. Am I over-reacting? Should I just suck it up and be happy that we have a somewhat decent, free public school. Or, is dissasisfaction with the educational philosophy (i.e. open court, worksheets, extrinsic rewards) enough reason to go private? I am particularly interested in hearing from parents who have done this shift from public to private. Thanks. Anon
Your post sounds like you think your daughter's school might not be the best for either of you. The things you mentioned as concerns are real and valid, and I don't think you'll feel settled until you look at and weigh the options.
In a private school, chances are your daughter will get an education that is not ''teaching to the test,'' and not workbook based (however, there are some elementary schools that use the Open Court workbooks). Teachers have different requirements at a private school, and often few kids per class, or more help in the classroom. That means that the kids tend to get more individual attention. Also, most private schools know a lot about learning differences, and even if schools don't have learning specialists on staff, teachers are often given the resources to work on more individual plans with kids.
However, all this comes at a cost. Tuition is a fact of private schools, and even with financial aid it's not easy. Be aware, also, that tuition is just the biggest part of the cost, there's also volunteer hours, annual giving, fundraising, field trips, t-shirts, gifts for teachers, etc.
Some people say that they can understand paying for part of their kids' education, but not all of it. Often people think middle school or high school is more important than grade school. I think that the first years of learning set up a pattern for later years. Disengagement in kindergarten is a big red flag for me. Yes, kindergarten is different and often harder than preschool. My son feels it too. But he has never said he felt bored. I believe that the good habits and attitudes and the love of learning he is developing now will last his whole life time. You are going to have to weigh your dissatisfaction with public school and the costs of private school. But before you even start looking at private schools, decide if you can afford it. If you have more than one child, decide if you can afford to send them all to private school. If you can't, try to somehow make your daughter's experience in her current school better. Because you might find it really hard to look private school and then turn away. berkeley parent
So don't be discouraged, there are places available in the private schools and it's not because there's something wrong with the school.
Hi - a general question, while considering switching from Berkeley Public schools to a private school setting. Are the possibilities for entering private school just K, and then 6 (middle school)? Or, have parents had success in applying in some intermediate grades: 3rd, 4th. If you were advising someone considering the public - private switch, would you suggest waiting until 6th grade so the ''break'' is clean? Or do you think kids can successfully transition at 3rd or 4th. Any thoughts, advice, experiences, opinions, etc. on switching from public to private are welcome! Thanks. Berkeley parent
I am seeking advice about switching my two children to a private school. They currently attend early grades in a local public school. I would like to hear from other parents who have tried to do this. Have you been successful? What did you do? Did you apply when families typically apply for kindergarten?
We have been very happy with the teaching in our local elementary school but have grown increasingly frustrated with the behaviors tolerated outside the class room (especially on the playground), as well as with the heartbreaking set of problems that interfere with learning on the part of many of our children's classmates.
While we know of a few cases where families have successfully made the switch to private schools, the general opinion "out there" seems to be that if parents don't opt for private schools at the kindergarten level, its impossible to get into private schools later. We hope that this isn't true but need to know if this has been the experience of other parents.
Thanks for any information and/or helpful advice.
One caveat, however, is that changing schools for any reason is difficult in fourth grade. Friends are left behind and although she still sees friends from the old school, this has been the most difficult area for her.

Free solar power shopping service launches
The next time one of your utility's customers inquires about solar power companies, you can point them to a free online tool that will could them snag a good deal.
The Online Solar PV Marketplace was developed by EnergySage, which won an award from the Obama Administration's SunShot program to create the tool.
The SunShot initiative was launched in February 2011. The DOE describes it as "a cross-cutting, national endeavor to get solar cost-competitive with fossil fuels and without subsidies by the end of the decade."
According to an article on Clean Technica, the PV Marketplace is rolling out on the East Coast initially. In addition to an online survey where people interested in solar can post details on their property to receive bids from a pre-selected list of companies, the site offers information on purchasing and financing solar installations plus profiles of installers. You can access the site here.

Not able to get MacBook Pro 15 Mini DVI to BENQ MP727 projector to display
I have a BenQ MP727 Projector and a band new MacBook Pro 15 with the Mini DVI port using a 5M DVI-D cable from the Cable Chick but when I plug it in, it first tries to display in 1080p then it flickers and continues to retry other modes, but never finds the right one, just keeps flickering and searching for a signal. I got it working once, somehow but it didn't keep the settings on reboot.
I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem, I read on this forum that the MP771 wasn't compatible with the Macbook Pro's 15 and 17.
possible solution
1. go to system preferences
2.under hardware click displays
3.detect displays
if this does not work
1.( if you are mirroring your display) make sure the display of internal monitor is at a resolution the projector can use. 640 by 480 should work but it will be very low quality. look in the manual( for the projector) for other resolutions that both the internal screen and projector can use.
2.( if you are using the projector as an extended display) under displays settings check show display in menu bar. then go to the menu bar at the top right side somewhere there should be a monitor looking icon click on it. towards the bottom of the menu there should be a second list of resolutions. set the resolutions to something the projector can use.
you can switch between extended and mirror under arrangement in display settings.
Screen flickeres to much to gain access to preferences panel to change settings.
Thing is, with the projector plugged in. I don't get a chance to use keyboard or mouse to get to the detect display button. It just keeps flicking over modes, saying signal detected and flicking back and forth, never syncing up or giving allowing me to access the preferences panel.
I managed to change it over from mirroring once, but it did not remember the settings on reboot and has I have never been able to make it function in DVI mode.
It seems to constantly reset the resolution back to 1280x720p, no matter what I change my MacBook Pro monitor resolution to. Which the projector does not seem to support.
I have tried to close the lid plug in a USb keyboard and then plug in the projector, as suggested when I called Apple Support. I managed to get it working once, but have not been able to reproduce success.
That particular projector has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 but can support higher. I also noticed that there is no input for VGA, just DVI, composite, S-Video, and HDMI.
If you're getting flickering and the projector keeps changing modes, then the video input is incompatible with what it's expecting. Break out your user manual and try to figure out if there is another method of video input that you can use from your MBP. Normally, I would suggest using your mini display port out to VGA with an adapter.
Finally got it working only in 1280x720 which is not the MP727's native resolution
2 Attachment(s)
Even the native resolution of 1024x768 will not work with the MacBook Pro and BenQ MP727 DVI-D. Bizzarrro!!!
I have found out that the only way to get the MP727 projector to function in DVI mode from a 15" 2009 MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz 4MB Ram with a Apple Mini-DVI to DVI-D converter plug is to:
1. Make sure the projector is off.
2. Plug the projector into the MacBook Pro
3. Goto Display Preferences on the Mac
4. Click Gather Windows.
5. You should see a LCD Screen and a MP727 Display Preferences window
6. On the MP727 Display Preferences "Arrangement" tab, ensure the "Mirror displays" is UNCHECKED
7. On the MP727 Display Preferences the "Display" tab select the 1280x720 display resolution at 60Mhz refresh rate.
8. Switch the projector ON.
This should make the projector work in 1280x720 resolution. Changing the resolution to anything else will not work and you will have to repeat this process again.
Arrangement Window - View
Display Window - View
Although I found this works better if you change the projector Mp747 resolution to 1024x768. (Step 7)
Hope this post helps someone - it helps me anyway!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2003 Five-time Grammy-winning gospel and pop music star Amy Grant pays special tribute to U.S. service men and women deployed far from home through the holidays during her "Simply Christmas with Amy Grant and Vince Gill" tour.
Touring with her husband, country star Vince Gill, Grant offers a moving rendition of "Home for Christmas," one of her most popular holiday titles, according to publicist Alison Auerbach. Throughout the song, several huge on-stage screens project photographs of deployed U.S. service members sending holiday wishes to their loved ones at home.
The photographs, shot in Baghdad and aboard the USS Enterprise and the USS Peleliu by military photographers, show service members holding handmade signs with holiday greetings, as well as photographs of the husbands, wives and children they left behind.
The photographs taken for the tour have been featured each day since early December on the DefendAmerica Web site and will continue to run each weekday through the year's end.
During at least one of the concerts, the audience burst into a spontaneous standing ovation as the song ended with the words, "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams," according to Defense Department public affairs specialist Babs Chase, who helped coordinate DoD support for the project.
"This project has really boosted morale among the troops who participated, knowing that such popular performers would pay tribute to them in such a special way during the holiday season," Chase said.
Gill called the tour a way to thank the deployed troops and their families. "We're at war, so people's hearts are filled with missing their kids, their husbands and wives," he said. "They're over there doing what they do for freedom, so it's important for us to celebrate what's important."
Throughout the "Simply Christmas" tour, which began Nov. 28 in Nashville, Tenn., and wraps up Dec. 22 in Grand Rapids, Mich., Grant and Gill acknowledge the contributions being made by those in uniform fighting the war on terror. In many of the 19 cities visited during the tour, they donated tickets to military families.
During the Dec. 11 concert in Albany, N.Y., the couple donated 227 tickets to military families, according to a spokesman from Blanton Harrell Cook & Corzine, a Nashville public relations firm. The promoters at the event cordoned the seats reserved for the group with red, white and blue ribbons so Grant, Gill and the audience could easily identify and thank them for their contributions.

Whole Genome Sequencing Study Provides Key Insight Into Human Evolution and Origin of Short Stature
New data published in journal Cell shows Complete Genomics' sequencing data enabled the discovery of 5 million new genetic variants and, likely, a new hominin ancestor
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – July 26, 2012 – Complete Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNOM) today announced that its high-accuracy, whole-genome sequencing service has been used to study human evolution in three African populations. The findings, to be published online today, will be highlighted on the cover of the Aug. 3 issue of the journal Cell.
The research team, led by Sarah Tishkoff, Ph.D., of the University of Pennsylvania, discovered 13.4 million genetic variants; at the time they were discovered, 5 million of them were new, having never been previously reported.
Only 72,000 of these genetic variants were found in the coding region of the genome; the remainder were in the non-coding regions, underscoring whole human genome sequencing's power to enable major discoveries that would be missed using exome sequencing.
"It's extremely important that we explore both coding and non-coding regions of the genome in biomedical research to make sure we have the complete picture," said Tishkoff, a Penn Integrates Knowledge professor with appointments in the School of Arts and Sciences biology department and the Perelman School of Medicine genetics department. "The non-coding regions can determine whether and how a gene is expressed, and thus provide vital information about disease susceptibility, as well as normal human variation."
"It was immensely exciting to discover millions of new genetic variants in our species, and interpreting all this diversity is a fun challenge," added Joseph Lachance, the study's first author, a postdoctoral researcher in the departments of biology and genetics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Complete Genomics sequenced the whole genomes of 15 African men, five each from three hunter-gatherer populations – the Hadza and Sandawe of Tanzania and the Western Pygmies of Cameroon – at more than 60x coverage. These populations were chosen because they are significantly different in appearance, language and local environments, and are not well represented in other genomic datasets.
Tishkoff's team also identified partial sequences in each of the three populations that appear to have come from a hominin lineage other than Homo sapiens. While there is no reference genome available for this alternate hominin, the researchers believe it could be a sibling species to the Neanderthal.
"We are excited to see our whole genome sequencing service starting to answer some of the big questions about the origins of the human race," said Dr. Clifford Reid, chairman, president and CEO of Complete Genomics. "We are just beginning to witness the positive impact that highly accurate, population-scale genomic data will have on our quest for scientific discovery."
In addition, the researchers sought to determine why Pygmies are universally short in stature, with men only 1.5 meters (4 foot 11 inches) tall on average, by pinpointing variants that were common in the Pygmies of Cameroon but rare or absent in the other two groups. They found several candidate genes that act on the pituitary gland, which controls childhood growth and sexual development, among other functions. "This is a unique haplotype which could shed light on novel mechanisms of regulation of pituitary development and pituitary gene expression," Tishkoff added.
The researchers also identified differences between the three populations in genes governing immune system function and smell and taste, suggesting that these were evolutionary adaptations in response to their different local pathogens and other environmental conditions.

Rustic Cottage Reno
A gutsy reno adds European sensibility to a family cottage.
Before she updated her family's 70-year-old cottage, designer Colette van den Thillart's mother advised her to tear the building down. But Colette was determined to maintain the original structure: "I'm not terribly sentimental, but Canadians understand how deep into your system family cottages get." The result is a cottage that is a scrapbook of her family's history. At times dark and moody, then airy and Scandinavian, the home is fresh, calm and welcoming.

Barnett played 70 minutes against Gillingham, less than 24 hours after making his comeback from three months out with a knee injury as a 73rd-minute substitute in Posh's Championship draw with Charlton at London Road.
"Tyrone looked very good and I felt he did very well when he came on as a substitute for the first-team," said Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson.
"He is still short of match fitness so starting him might be a risk, but I need game-changers on the bench and Tyrone is capable of that."
Barnett created goals for Craig Alcock and Shaquil McDonald as Posh beat Gills 3-1. Jermaine Anderson was also on the scoresheet.

Aquarian Super 2 coated on toms
I've been playing around with different heads on my kit for the last year and a half. I've tried stuff from Remo, Evans and Aquarian. I've bought more Aquarian. I like their coating and durability. So I put my texture coated heads back on the kit...these are a year and a half old...somehow they are sounding better this time than any other time I tried them.
But the sound was just a little too open for my liking. I've been watching Mike Johnston doing his thing and his Super 2 heads sound great. Now, I played the clear Super 2s on my kit...I don't really like clear heads...these are the only clear heads I would play...and as much as I like them I was missing the warm coated sound that I like.
So I thought I'd give coated Super 2s a try. Like the new Aquarian label by the way!
Right now I'm just using my 10x8 and 16x16 toms. I've been digging this lately. On the 16' the Super 2 sounds great. It sounds like a monster roaring in a cave! Really fat and powerful. Very happy about that.
But the 10' seems to be the problem. I just can't get it to sound right. I know their coating takes a little playing in to get the full sound. Is it this? I'm also open to the fact that I just might not be used to tuning these Super 2s. These heads I know are meant to be sensitive to tuning. I'm tuning it just above the wrinkle. That's usually where I tune all my toms to.
So what do I need to do? Wait for the head to open up by itself? Tune it higher or tune it lower? As I said, I haven't had any problems with the 16' just the 10'.
Does anyone have enough experience with the coated Super 2s to know where I might be going wrong? Any help you can offer would be good. But I am hoping to hear from people who have played the super 2 coated...in other words, people who know what they're talking about.
Re: Aquarian Super 2 coated on toms
I love the super2 's as well....I would try a higher tuning for now and see how that goes for you. The head will get some more character after a few hours of playing and then you can try a lower tuning eventually.
Re: Aquarian Super 2 coated on toms
I have Super 2 Coated on my 80's Gretsch 80s maple kit's toms. However they are 12 and 16. Haven't tried it on a 10.
Couple thoughts.
The first is that what I've experienced more with Aquarians in general is a break in period for sound. They're playable right out of the box but finding the sweet spot might take a few days of playing and tweaking. I'd try tuning it higher and laying into it a bit. Then after a few days or a week, bring both reso and batter down and tune up both slowly. This has worked in the past for me.
I've been experimenting with different heads recently and for the first time in a while, I've started to try a few Remo heads.
Currently I have Remo Vintage Ambassadors on my Yamaha MCAN toms. In general they sound very good. The only drum I want to hear speak a bit more is the 10" tom. It's a great drum. I went from Evans Coated G2's to the Remos just recently and the Vintage sounds a bit too thick on the 10. If I were to do it over, I might try a regular Ambassador on the 10 with the rest of the drums using Vintages.
When I've used straight Aquarian Satin Texture Coated heads on the toms, they all seemed to speak well although I think maybe Super-2's on the 14 and 16 would serve well. The 14 is usually just a bit fussier in my practice room. Outside of the practice room it seems to play nice as long as it's not an outdoors gig with no back wall or miking/monitors. Then all the drums get cranky. :)
If after a week or so the Super 2 on the 10 isn't doing what you want, you may need a different type of head. That's a pretty big spread between 10 and 16 so getting the timbre matched (if that's your goal) might take some finagling with head choice and tuning.

Re: Aquarian Super 2 coated on toms
I agree with the below comments (or if your not signed in, the above comments) and just want to add that I use the clear super2's too on 10,12,14 floor. It does take a while for the epoxy to do what it is supposed to do, in fact the process slower with Aquarian than evans/remo. So patience and you will eventually dial in your 10. IF your impatient sit there and keep hitting your 10 and you will get there faster.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has declined to meet US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer, who arrived here Tuesday on a two-day visit to the state, citing her 'busy political schedule'.
'The chief minister had a very busy political schedule as number of party leaders from different parts of the country were here at this time and meetings were fixed with different groups long before word came from the US embassy,' a senior official in the chief minister's personal secretariat said.
'By the time we received a request from the US embassy, it was too late for the chief minister to alter her programmes and fit a meeting with the ambassador in her schedule,' the official added.
A formal letter has also been sent by the chief minister's secretariat to the US embassy.
Roemer called on Governor B.L.Joshi, after which he went on a visit to a USAID project in a neighbouring village.
According to a US embassy official, Roemer earlier visited Bihar and Karnataka, where their chief ministers Nitish Kumar and B.S. Yeddyurappa not only met him, but also spent some time with him.

US' Director National Intelligence Dennis C Blair held a tête-à-tête with Home Minister P Chidambaram and is understood to have discussed issues related to terrorism emanating from Afghanistan-Pakistan region and sharing of intelligence inputs.
Blair was accompanied by a delegation of US Secret Service and Ambassador Timothy J Roemer.
Prior to meeting Chidambaram, Blair met Intelligence Bureau Director Rajiv Mathur.
Blair had recently said that Pakistan was using militant groups like Lashkar-e Taiba as strategic tools against India. Emerging from the meeting US Ambassador in India Timothy J Roemer, said, "We discussed hour to hour, minutes by minutes intelligence sharing with the government of India."
US Ambassador Timothy J. Roemer Wednesday said the civil nuclear liability bill would benefit both the US and India.
'The passing of the bill by Indian parliament would mean a win-win situation for both the countries, generating employment as well as giving India abundant clean energy,' Roemer told reporters at the end of his two-day visit to Uttar Pradesh.
'I am sure it is a very good story for both the countries,' he said.
Skirting a query about the apparent pressure being mounted by US on India to get the bill passed in parliament, Roemer remarked, 'I am hopeful that the bill would be able to meet the August 2010 deadline.'
The bill seeks to provide legal framework for payment of a compensation in the event of an accident at a nuclear installation.
The bill, which was to be tabled in parliament Friday, was deferred after Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, a partner in the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA), joined the opposition parties against it.
However, the US envoy sought to point out that 'it was because of the benefits accruing from it that different political leaders had stood in support of the bill'.
'It was not only Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, but even former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who has supported the provisions of the bill. Likewise back in the US, not only President Barrack Obama but even former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were in favour of the bill.'
Lucknow: After Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati saw a conspiracy in bees invading the stage when she was holding forth at her party rally here on Monday, an FIR has been lodged by police to probe who lit the fire that disturbed the beehive and what was the intention.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Rajiv Krishna, who is probing into the bee invasion incident, said that prima facie it had been revealed that the bees swarmed Ramabai Ambedkar rally ground during Mayawati's address after being disturbed by smoke.
BSP says only currency garlands for Mayawati
"Initially, a case under section section 435 (lighting fire to cause damage) and 285 (causing disturbance in any public place) has been lodged at Ashiyana police station," Krishna told reporters.
The DIG said that it was a serious incident as in case of a bee attack it could have led to a stampede in which a number of people could have been killed.
Likewise, if something would have happened to people on the stage, then also it could have led to stampede and death, he said.
He said that the opinion of experts in bee behaviour had also been taken.
The police are further investigating into the incident as to who lit the fire and what was the objective behind, he added.
After the incident, the BSP alleged that appearance of the bees at the rally ground was a conspiracy following which the state government ordered an inquiry.
BSP leader sacked for comment on Mayawati's cash garland
A preliminary inquiry has indicated that some persons intentionally lit fire to disturb a beehive at nearby Ambedkar University in a bid to disturb the rally, official sources said.
"According to experts, the bees that swarmed the rally ground were bigger ones, normally found in forest areas," they said.
Addressing a meeting of party leaders, MPs and MLAs yesterday, Mayawati alleged that "in a bid to creat stampede, under a conspiracy a behive near the rally ground was disturbed due to which a swarm of bees came towards the stage."

Columnist: Caps' problems are all on Ovi
Nov 21, 2011, 3:11 PM EDT
Washington Post columnist Mike Wise wrote a blazing piece today, laying the blame for the Capitals' struggles squarely on Alex Ovechkin.
The column also served as a defense of coach Bruce Boudreau, who's facing a barrage of criticism in the wake of his team's three-game road trip that finished with three losses by a combined score of 14-3.
The truth is, only one person is emotionally missing from the Capitals' locker room, and everyone inside that cocoon knows who it is. It's the guy who looks like a shell of his former self, who hasn't scored in four games and doesn't even look interested in playing hockey right now. Until Alex Ovechkin finds himself, finds the electrifying player he once was and backpacks this team to the Stanley Cup finals, everyone's employment with the organization is in jeopardy.
Nobody's going to disagree that Ovechkin is the key to the Caps' success. And if he's just pouting because he's not happy with Boudreau, then it doesn't say much about Ovi's leadership qualities.
That said, Boudreau shouldn't get let off the hook. Coaches are responsible for motivating and getting the best out of their players, and Boudreau's not getting that out of Ovechkin. Unless things turn around soon, firing the coach is going to fall under the category of "hey, it couldn't hurt."
Even now, what would be the downside of making a change? It turns out Boudreau wasn't the problem? OK, so has anything really changed? Is Boudreau such a great coach that the Caps would sink even further without him?
- govtminion - Nov 21, 2011 at 3:53 PM
In the interest of being fair to both of them, the Caps have developed a more complete team than they had two years ago, when Ovechkin was forced to score like crazy just to keep up with the other team's goal scoring. Their third and fourth lines are doing great work these days, and it means less pressure on the first two lines to do everything.
On the flip side, it's a good thing, because those front two lines suck on toast this year overall. Back on the D-men set, Green is perma-hurt, and most of the others aren't exactly the group you build Cup teams around. Both goalies have looked shaky at times.
Is it all Ovechkin's fault? Of course not. But if your captain isn't trying to get the team fired up (see: "not my problem"), should he be your captain at all?
- stakex - Nov 21, 2011 at 4:04 PM
I don't see how a reasonable person can blame Ovechkin for all of the Caps problems right now. The whole team looks simply awful, and there is no way that can be placed on one player. Only one person is responsible when a whole team plays poorly, and thats the coach.
Is Ovechkin clearly having issue right now? Oh yeah… and so is Semin for that matter. The two biggest stars on the Caps are struggling, and its the coach's job to help get them out of it. If he can't do it, then what could it hurt to let someone else try?
- bcjim - Nov 21, 2011 at 4:24 PM
Mike Wise noted hockey expert.
I'll give him this much, he has somehow succeeded in life while having little discernable talent, imo, especially on radio. His show is just so awkward.

"Is Boudreau such a great coach that the Caps would sink even further without him?" No. I blame others too but ovey is main reason. Good article.
- capsrockva - Nov 21, 2011 at 5:52 PM
I hope tonight's game will be the start of a great week. Is it all Ovechkin's fault? Of course not. But if your captain isn't trying to get the team fired up (see: "not my problem"), should he be your captain at all? Completely agree with this statement. I disagreed with making him Capt. in the first place. One final note TRADE SEMIN. He is killing the Caps w/ all the stupid penalties

Lets see. I tend to write stories that release some of my feelings out into the world. Not that anything in my stories has ever happened to me, but you get the idea. I enjoy writing everything from normal day to day erotica, to supernatural smut, to the really kinky stuff.Recently, I've been very busy.

CONNERSVILLE — Authorities arrested two eastern Indiana doctors and a physician assistant Thursday on charges they forged prescriptions for narcotic painkillers and other drugs.
Drug Enforcement Agency agents served warrants charging Drs. Daniel Palmer and David Ringer alleging they pre-signed prescription forms and physician assistant Jeff Ferryman then completed writing unauthorized prescriptions for controlled substances without the physicians ever seeing the people receiving the prescriptions.
Prosecutors said each man is employed by Fayette Regional Health System based in Connersville, about 50 miles east of Indianapolis. A message seeking comment was left with hospital administrators.
"Overprescribing of powerful opiate painkillers across our state has contributed in part to the epidemic of prescription drug abuse in Indiana and fueled addiction at the expense of patients' safety and health," Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a news release announcing the arrests.
Ferryman, 50, faces seven counts of dealing in narcotics and seven counts of forgery. Palmer, 56, faces eight counts of conspiracy to deal in narcotics, 10 counts of conspiracy to commit forgery, and two counts of conspiracy to deal in a controlled substance. Ringel, 54, faces four counts each of conspiring to deal in a controlled substance and conspiracy to commit forgery.
All three men were being held in the Fayette County Jail without bond. It wasn't clear whether they had attorneys.
The arrests Thursday followed the October arrest of physician assistant David Wulff. Zoeller said Wulff is awaiting trial on charges of dealing in narcotics and controlled substances, forgery and acquiring controlled substances by fraud. A message seeking comment was left for Wulff's attorney.
The Connersville News-Examiner reported an August search by federal, state and local authorities of Wulff's office in the Fayette Regional Health Primary Care clinic turned up three blank prescription pads — numbering 50 prescriptions each — bearing Ringel's signature.
The same search turned up two blank prescription pads — each containing 50 prescriptions each — along with a partial blank prescription pad, all pre-signed by Palmer, the newspaper reported
Palmer was Wulff's supervising physician in April 2013, when he allegedly pre-signed prescriptions that Wulff used to prescribe the painkiller Oxycodone and the stimulant Adderall, used to treat attention deficit disorder.
An affidavit said Palmer also pre-signed prescriptions for Ferryman. The affidavit said a primary care clinic doctor and office manager told authorities that hospital administrators asked doctors to sign blank prescription pads for use by physician's assistants.
Randy White, Fayette Regional Health's chief executive officer, has said its doctors and employees follow state law in prescribing medications.
