Big Bold Unabashed Color
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Big Bold Color. It demands space to empower a room. These stunning examples of large splashes of pigment speak to simple gestures, not letting the space get too busy but rather placing sculptural, singular elements of focus in the room. So dramatic, and full of energy. Notice how the floors are used in this color scheme? All planes (walls, ceiling and floor) play off each other to become part of the composition. These spaces work so well because the saturation of hues are balanced.
"Designed by Gisbert Pöppler, The Hansaviertel Project is a full renovation of a private apartment owned by a prominent writer for the popular German television show "Verliebt in Berlin". The property is tucked in the corner of a large modern apartment building, designed by Walter Gropius for the 1957 Interntational Building Exhibition, "Interbau". As if intentionally planned to coincide with this important milestone, the renovation was completed just in time to celebrate the 90th year anniversary of this now classic modernist BAUHAUS experiment in urban living." architectonic

Founder Feedback gives you insight from the startup trenches.
In this post from his blog, David Teten, Partner at ff Venture Capital and New York Founder Institute Mentor, lays out a variety of ways founders can hack the PR game and generate free buzz for their startup.
Below, "How to Create Free Buzz for Your Startup" has been republished.
"For startup companies trying to build buzz around their brand, but without the capital to launch a full-fledged PR campaign, there are a lot of ways to hack the PR game. Building on my earlier post about free publicity, I wanted to share some additional thoughts.
To begin with, the best PR you can build is through satisfied customers with high Net Promoter scores. In other words, you should focus first on a great product/service, and only after you've achieved that worry about PR. There's a world of difference between PR success and actual business success.
Here are a few ideas:
- Sign up for Helpareporter.com (HARO), one of the secrets of the PR business. HARO connects you to reporters who are writing articles and seeking sources/people to profile. You can just reach out and submit yourself to be written about. It's easy to task a junior person with monitoring this list for leads; that's exactly what your PR firm does (with a markup).
- Nominate company representatives as speakers for tech or entrepreneurship conferences. These conferences are not only a great way to raise your startup's profile, they also serve as valuable networking opportunities within the tech/VC community. See my previous blog post for a list of tech conferences and ways to get in. I particularly urge you to review SpeakerNetNews ; it contains a tremendous amount of curated wisdom from professional speakers: how to be a more powerful speaker, deal with distracting audiences, etc.
- Submit blog entry suggestions to prominent bloggers on a topic that can highlight your company. E.g., SeeffVC's blog post about the JOBS act, which discusses portfolio company Indiegogo. Two free PR resources from Conrad Egusa and Brownstown & Egusa: A comprehensive tech reporter contact list, and a Beginner's Guide To PR.
- Reach out to websites that profile entrepreneurs. For example, Mo.com interviews entrepreneurs from all industries to learn about small business experience and strategies. Under 30 CEO and Young Entrepreneur profile younger CEOs, while Mixergy allows entrepreneurs to share their experiences at part of an online business education.
- Sign up for an advocate-management service like Influitive, which motivates your champions (friends, family, customers, employees) to take actions to move your company forward.
- Distribute press releases on free sites like: PRWeb.com, Free Press Release, and PRLog.com. Not surprisingly, though, these free services won't get you in the top tier publications.
- Support charitable causes. Identifying your company with charitable events or auctions helps you build positive brand sentiment. To support a notable cause, you could donate personal time with your CEO to an auction or engage your company in a public fundraising campaign (e.g. x% of sales made today will be donated to _____). You can also donate your time and advice through charity website Charitybuzz. I've donated lunch with me to some charities via this channel. However, the best way to do this is to lead a charitable initiative that ties in directly with your core initiative. For example, the Venture Capital Access Program (VCAP), the initiative I co-founded focused on helping women and minorities increase access to venture capital, will be highly profitable, but I also know it's good PR in the target market I care about, which is entrepreneurs.
- Host an event. If you have office space that isn't used during the evenings, consider hosting an event to discuss your company or other themes pertinent to the startup / tech scene. ff Venture Capital recently hosted an event in its offices to feature two of its portfolio companies: MovableInk and Parse.ly."

The gang is lost in a forest - even Max's PokeNav shows nothing. Brock's compass shows different directions, adding it to May's fear. A Skarmory begins to chase them. May's Skitty goes out and May protects it, but in so doing, Skarmory grabs her and sends her away. Ash, Brock and Max go after it, but find two men blocking the path. They explain that nobody is supposed to go on the other side of the gate. When Ash mentiones that May's been carried there by a Skarmory, they go to speak with a man, so they follow.
May is seen to be carried on a peak. She takes Skitty back to a Pokeball and sees a Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur gets a flower, but begins to fall down, so May catches it in time. Bulbasaur is a bit taken back, but befirends May when it tickles May using a vine. However, a Sunflora, Weepinbell and a Vileplume defend it. The old man is being told the problem, but cannot help Ash, Brock and Max, as the Grass Pokemon will be angry. Nevertheless, they will go to see how to deal with the situation. Team Rocket spy so they plan to steal those Grass Pokemon. Sunflora uses Razor Leaf, Vileplume Stun Spore and Weepinbell Vine Whip on May, defending the Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur attempts to calm them down, but more Grass Pokemon arrive to attack May. To protect herself, she sends Torchic to use Ember. Torchic negates the attacks and goes with May. Bulbasaur goes as well, but is stopped by a Sunflora. As the men discuss, Ash, Brock and Max leave to go get May. The men notice Poochyena barking, so the men spots the gang left. Brock, Max and Ash tackle the gate, but they have to climb the vines to get across. The vines break, so Ash and Pikachu are the only ones to go get May back. May hhides, but soon has to go out due to Stun Spore. The next thing she knew, she is surrounded by the Grass Pokemon. However, Ash arrives to the scene.
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, clearing a path for them to escape. They go (with Ash explaining that the land they are on is not for humans). Pikachu uses Thunderbolt for Ash and May to pass. While their path is blocked, Torchic calls them to go near him. Soon, they stand on an edge of a cliff. The Grass Pokemon attack, but are stopped when a Venasaur comes. Venasaur checks Ash, May and Torchic - Bulbasaur that came to May seems to have warned him that they are not for any fighting. Ash and May are taken to a waterfall. Bulbasaur gives May the flower, reminding Ash of his own. Bulbasaur grabs May with a vine, going off, so Ash goes with her.
They see the forest they have been lost in before. May sees a town and explaines the Bulbasaur what it is. The old man explaines to Max and Brock that the Grass Pokemon were hunted by men, so they became enraged. To prevent any damage, some people built the gate for protection. The land has some magnetic field, preventing some mahines to work. Team Rocket begin to steal the Grass Pokemon. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but the attack is deflected due to the mirror. The men, Brock and Max hear the Bulbasaur being taken.
Venasaur attacks them. Team Rocket go to take it, but Venasaur uses Vine Whip and goes to take the Grass Pokeon. Meowth switches to go forwards, making Venasaur harder to take the Pokemon back. Meowth switches to backwards, so Venasaur is knocked out. Bulbasaur is taken, so may comes as well with it. Team Rocket's robot is going to be destroyed, when the Pokemon tackle the robot. Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, freeing all the Pokemon from the robot. The robot is about to take the Pokemon, but Poochyena from the old man use Shadow Ball, blowing the hand.
Pikachu uses Thunder, but the attack is deflected. However, Venasaur uses Solar Beam, blasting Team Rocket away. Everyone aplogises to the Grass Pokemon for disturbance and May says goodbye to Bulbasaur. However, Bulbasaur (after some thinking) goes to May, joining her.
- Featured Pokemon: Manectric, Electrike, Mantine, Electrode
- In the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokemon identification can be seen. In this case, it is a Charmander.
- The title is based on the phrase 'Mass hysteria'.
- This episode is featured on the Volume 1: Grass copy of Pokémon Elements.

Many of my patients tell me how their energy declines in the middle of the day around 3 pm, and the sugar cravings kick in. This is the time of day when our cortisol levels are starting to decline and our body needs to be re-fueled.

4 Ways to Get More Fruit (And More Nutrients) into Your Diet
Picky eaters in your family? Try slipping fruit into each meal. It can increase the nutrient content without the hassle or pushback of veggies. The key difference between fruits and vegetables is the sugar content and therefore the calorie content. If you have the treats, cakes, cookies and ice creams under control, then you won't have to worry about calories from something as nourishing as fruit. Think of all the other ways to use fruit other than out of hand: Frozen • Use in place of ice cubes to flavour cocktails, water • Puree into a fruit topping for banana bread • Use in smoothies Cooked • Compote keeps in the fridge for 10 days and in the freezer for weeks and is a great way ...

Keeping Kids and Company Happy in the North
We just had a week at the cottage and there are a whole lotta reasons why I think taking your family to a cottage is a really good thing. Mostly because it's an affordable way to bring on a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of reality all at once. And if you know me, there's pretty much nothing I love more than making my kiddos face reality. So what do I love? Let me count the ways: Becoming one with nature: At our cottage there are many dragon flies. The conversation with my six-year-old included him asking why they always "carry each other around". It provided a great opportunity for me to talk about mating and the importance of dragonfly reproduction. He served it right back to me ...

6 Things That ALWAYS Happen When I Pour Myself a Morning Coffee
Why is it that this never fails? Ever? Almost every morning, I'll stumble out of bed, make my way to the kitchen and put the coffee on. And then – as if the Universe knows I need a moment to collect myself – the instant I pour myself that first cup of coffee, all hell will break loose. The following 6 things are guaranteed (seriously – guaranteed) to happen when the coffee hits my cup: 1. The baby wakes up. 2. My toddler goes poo and yells at me to come wipe her bum. 3. A very full bowl of cereal spills all over the (usually freshly cleaned) floor. 4. My 5 year old dresses herself in winter clothes (in the summer) and can't understand why I'm leading her back to her bedroom to change. 5. ...

Back-To-School Prep: Preschool to University!
September means back to school and that can be a tough transition time for families. To help parents out, I am offering my best short tip for each age to ensure everyone gets the year off to a good start: 1. PRESCHOOLERS Young children are still very dependant on their parents, hence they are more unsure when they are left in unfamiliar surroundings with new people. Help children anticipate the first day by visiting their new nursery school or day care so they can meet their new teacher and see their surroundings in advance of the first drop off. Parental attitudes are infectious; so its important you broadcast the message that you trust your child to manage and that everything will be ...

4 Reasons Why Solo Parenting Can Be Awesome.

A brand new multi-axis tourbillon, Duomètre Sphérotourbillon
The Sphérotourbillon mechanism created by Jaeger-LeCoultre offers a fascinating phenomenon that can be viewed via the openwork dial. As well as revolving around the axis in its titanium cage, the tourbillon turns around a second axis, tilted at 20°. The combination of these two distinct and rapid rotations (30 and 15 seconds respectively) enables the watch to defy the effects of gravity in all positions.

Rocky Mount police say the two vehicle accident happened at the intersection of Thomas Betts parkway and Benvenue Road around 6:30 p.m. They say Kimberly Hoyle's vehicle was westbound on Benvenue and the other vehicle turned in front of her. Two passengers in Hoyle's vehicle, Daniel Hoyle and Kelly Hoyle, are now in stable condition at Wake Med.
The owner of that other vehicle, Juan Gomez-Acevendo, is charged with permitting an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle.

Despite recent heavy snows, a 6-square-mile wildfire is continuing to burn in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Fire officials say the Fern Lake Fire, which is 88 percent contained inside the park, will continue to smolder in dense forests, despite a foot of snow.
The fire, which remains under investigation, has been burning since Oct. 9 and has destroyed one cabin.
According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, fire officials are concerned that the state could face another major wildfire season because of a continuing drought.

X-FAB announces financial resultsErfurt, Germany, 四月 29, 2010.
The X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group today announced sales of USD 79.1 million (EUR 57.2 million) for the first quarter of 2010. This corresponds to a year-on-year increase of approximately 93 percent and an increase of approximately 19 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, making this the third quarter in a row with a significant growth in sales. Booking levels in the first quarter of 2010 were up approximately 24 percent over the previous quarter. As a result, the book-to-bill ratio in the first quarter of 2010 was 1.19. The outlook on fiscal 2010 as a whole is also positive as X-FAB expects sales to rise by more than 50 percent compared to 2009.
Consolidated sales of the X-FAB Group in 2009 were USD 210.5 million (EUR 151.1 million), a year-on-year decline of approximately 43 percent. This decline reflects the impact of the global economic and financial crisis on the development of business in the semiconductor industry.
At USD -3.6 million (EUR -2.6 million), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the first quarter of 2010 improved substantially compared to the same quarter the previous year, when EBIT amounted to USD -19.9 million. X-FAB returned to the black in the first quarter, generating a net profit of USD 8.2 million (EUR 5.9 million).
Excluding X-FAB UK, which was sold as of December 31, 2009, the figures for fiscal 2009 as of December 31, 2009 included: EBIT at USD -64.9 million (EUR -46.6 million), compared to USD 11.2 million the previous year, and earnings before taxes (EBT) of USD -49.4 million (EUR -35.5 million), compared to USD 12.7 million in 2008. Despite the difficult economic environment, the X-FAB Group managed to generate positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of USD 5.7 million (EUR 4.1 million) in 2009 based on comprehensive cost-cutting measures and temporary capacity adjustments.
Hans-Jürgen Straub, CEO of the X-FAB Silicon Foundries Group, commented on expected business development: "Both demand and sales are picking up noticeably, and we have returned to the black. In fiscal 2010, we expect approximately 50 percent growth beyond that of 2009. Our execution of key investment projects according to plan in the past year enabled us to adjust and expand the X-FAB Group's capacities despite the difficult economic environment. As a result, we are now well prepared for the increase in demand. With an equity ratio of more than 60 percent and cash and cash equivalents of around USD 100 million, the X-FAB Group continues to be a reliable partner for its customers in financial terms as well."

Comments On Nov 09, 2007:first of all it looks AWESOME.... so dont get me wrong there... polished stainless is beautiful, but when i went to bolt it up i found that there was no holes in the top edge, so i had to drill my own(also the one on the bottom were in the wrong spot, but there were beauty slots that worked instead). not the end of the world but since the ONLY thing this is made for is the tusk bumper i expected the holes to be pre drilled.....
RMATV Tech notes = The slots are present to be used as mounting holes. They are slotted to fit the variety of bolt paterns on all the bumpers.
Additional Comments On Apr 09, 2008:The slots may be intended for use for the bottom screws, But I still had to drill holes for the top screws.

DETROIT - When the review team issues its report, possibly Tuesday, the surprise would be if it recommends Detroit should not have an emergency financial manager.
To many, it seems inevitable. On Monday, Detroit City Council President Pro-Tem Gary Brown said while the focus is on finances, the real problem is not the money.
Read more: Snyder expects Detroit review team report soon
"The easier part of all of this is fixing the finances. It's lining up revenues with expenses. That's the easy part. The hard part is going into every city department and fixing the management," said Brown.
An emergency manager certainly would have an easier time with that -- being able to dictate rather than negotiate. As far as money, the city has long-term debt in excess od $12 billion.
While Brown remains against the idea of an emergency financial manager, he says the state of Michigan's intervention in some form is unavoidable.
"The state has to either help us do it, or they come in and do it themselves. They're going to have to bring in additional dollars and resources in order to do it. So, that's going to be the question. Does the governor want to do it more efficiently, more effectively with an emergency manager, or does he want to work with elected officials that we have in place?" said Brown.

Hopefully you are aware, the Museum will be closed for renovations from August 8th to October 12th. We are going to highlight 40 of our most outstanding artworks from the Museums permanent collection in a virtual gallery. One is pictured above, the Oceanic Skull Rack. Visitors will be able to peruse these images and get a good sense of the overall collection. This new virtual exhibition will open on August 9th, 2010 and be viewable on the Current Exhibitions page of our website.
Horizontal Suspension Hook (Skull Rack) New Guinea, Iatmul peoples, Middle Sepik River, first quarter of 20th century, wood, human hair, fiber, shells and traces of red pigment, 7 feet 6 inches long. Permanent Collection 1990.019. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Stephan Lion.
Executive Director George Bolge personally chose what would be included in this exhibition no easy task. With more than 5,000 pieces in our collection, one could spend months combing through everything. In my day-to-day work, I constantly see things in storage for which I have an affinity, and find myself wishing for more wall space in the galleries. Alas, the renovations are not to expand the museums square footage but rather to improve upon the existing structure.
Joan Fontcuberta (Spanish, born in Barcelona, 1955 - ), Science and Friction (landscape), 1990, b/w photograph, 14 ½ x 11 ¼ inches. Permanent Collection 1993.037. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Steinman.
In any event, I would like to highlight an artwork I find quite intriguing by contemporary photographer Joan Fontcuberta. Fontcuberta considers himself a conceptual artist who uses the photographic medium. His work often incorporates aspects of satire and mystery into its display, often by presenting fantastical things as though they were hard fact.
An excellent example would be his 1988 exhibition in conjunction with Pere Formiguera, Fauna at the Museum of Modern Art. Fontcuberta and Formiguera created a massive index of historical information to support the concept of the exhibition. They displayed photographs that showed hybrids of animals (see: winged monkey with unicorn horn, or, Centaurus Neandertalensis) like those pictured at natural history museums. To further prove their existence, Fontcuberta and Formiguera displayed field notes, scientific drawings, X-rays of the animals bodies and finally the real deal taxidermy mount.
Joan Fontcuberta, Solenoglypha Polipodida, b/w photograph, image from Presentation House Gallery
Roberta Smith, New York Times art critic reviewed the show and writes, The photographs are sepia-colored, and mysteriously murky. The field notes are written in cramped script with faded brown ink. Questions abound: where, when and by whom were these creatures sighted? We read on, and it gradually emerges that the material under scrutiny purports to be from the recently rediscovered archives of a Dr. Peter Ameisenhaufen, a German zoologist, active in the 1930's and 40's, who devoted his life to tracking down and recording the exceptions to nature's grand evolutionary scheme.
Read the entire New York Times review, A Furry-Footed Fish and Other Gallery Rogues
The Fontcuberta photograph from our collection, a dinosaur leg propped against a wall, also evokes freakish and unsettling images. His choice of subject matter dinosaur parts, snakes with legs and other evolutionary oddities reveals his interest in origin theory. One is never quite sure if he is poking fun at established evolutionary and religious tropes or if he is appealing to his audience in a serious manner.
Besides questioning the many theories of our collective origins, Fontcuberta also asks us to question the veracity of the photographic medium. To be sure, all his photographs appear real, as sepia-toned vestiges of a past to which we havent yet been privy. Fontcuberta constructs an alternative version of the past through seemingly genuine bits of history which is at turns both vexatious and persuasive.

Portraits of Johann Joachim Winckelmann (left) and Giorgio Vasari (right).
As an almost 10-year-long devotee of the visual arts, I take it for granted that they are worthy of study. The Western art world as a whole (and art historians in particular) owe a debt of gratitude to those who paved the way for arts scholarship. In the 1500s, Giorgio Vasari, and in the 1700s, Johann Joachim Winckelmann both initiated their own types of study for the visual arts. Their respective outputs are exhaustive and include both archaeology (Winckelmann) and connoisseurship (Vasari) in addition to formalist art critique.
In general, how did art historical study begin? Well, with Vasari, it began with an interest in promoting his own populace, the Florentines. Yes, Vasari was very patriotic and one of his primary aims was to establish Florence as superior to other cities in terms of art. Although Florence was no slouch when it came to churning out master artists in the 16th century, Vasaris interest in promoting primarily Florence is one of the drawbacks to his scholarship. The ability to know and work around this bias is one of the duties of the modern-day art historian. Besides just doing the research to get the facts from the past, we also need to be aware of distinctive cultural biases as well as any other factors that may color the interpretation of an event.
One of the most important things about Vasaris research is his focus on connoisseurship. For instance, he focused very intently on tiny details. Like, tiny details. He claimed to be able to identify the hand of the same artist in two artworks because the thumbnails were painted in the same manner. An anecdote to be sure, but reflective of Vasaris emphasis on empirical evidence just the same.
Venus de Milo, circa 130-100 B.C., Parisian marble, height 80 inches, photograph by Johann H. Addicks, Cc.
Winckelmann, on the other hand, loved Antiquity. Loved it. He preferred the noble simplicity and quiet grandeur of the Greeks to any other type of art, most especially the art of his own time, Baroque. He covered Roman and Greco-Roman art in his writings, too, but Greece had his heart. He believed we should measure ourselves against the Ancients because they stressed proportion and perfection. Idealized art. Beautiful bodies. He felt nature is too varied, too prone to chance and deviation to model fine art after.
In sum, both Vasari and Winckelmann were interested in the look of things, the aesthetics of a work of art. They did not dabble in philosophical debate. They did not despair over the conceptual precursors of a physical piece of art. So, the beginnings of art history were written. These were some progressive men. Not to confuse progressive with experimental or avant-garde. Winckelmann and Vasari simply began something which we are continually redefining to this day the discipline of art history.
This years 59th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition was quite a bit larger than last years. Last year, we had 47 artists represented and this year it was 80. That translates to roughly 1/3 more artworks in the show. If you visited the exhibition both years, perhaps you noticed that it is divided into smaller rooms this year as opposed to the larger, sweeping gallery space we set up last year.On Thursday and Friday, June 13th and 14th, the juror, Linda Norden, flew down to Boca to judge the works in situ. Each juror has their own set of criteria by which they judge a show. Norden explains hers as such, In my case, the priority was to identify work that seemed intensely rooted in some personal experience or observation, and as free as possible from predictable pictorial ticks or tricks of the trade. . . Whatever the medium, I want to feel that the content is urgent and close to the heart and soul of the artist, and that the aesthetic decisions do justice to that content.Norden selected Kerry Phillips Chairs, Found and Fixed as the Best in Show. She gave out 3 Merit Awards to Melissa Marrero , Roberta Schofield, and Noelle Mason for their respective bodies of work included in the show. She clarifies her choices by saying, Im partial to direct, clear, expression painterly, structural, but also things that are hyper-real... Norden indicated that she felt a strong personal statement in each womans work.An exhibition like the All Florida can teach us about the Floridian arts community. For instance, there was a marked lack of artwork that dealt with war or Iraq. Norden commented on how this is not the case for New York Citys emerging artists the city from which she hails. On the other hand, there was a preponderance of work that made the landscape, environment, or varied population its subject. This is especially poignant right now, considering the environmental problems occurring on the west side of the state. If I had to guess at next years submissions, I would expect even more environmentally-themed works and those submitted will probably have a more political bent to them. Some suggestions for artists considering applying next year:
This last piece of advice seems pretty obvious but many people ignore it outright.Most questions can be answered by reading the rules in totality. Things like: weight restrictions, size restrictions, drop-off and pick-up times, acceptable media, ad infinitum. If there is something we missed, I will happily tack it on to the end of the rules. True, they do look long and boring to read, but it is really worth the time you take.Any suggestions can be either posted in the comments section or emailed to myself directly at email@example.com 59th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition will run through August 8th in the downstairs galleries, alongside the Boca Museum Artists Guild Biennial Exhibition.
Cast of "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist"
Since reality television has virtually taken over most cable programming, I think it is about time the visual artists got their shot at it. Bravo's "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" premiered this past Wednesday at 11 p.m. (EST) with the requisite cast of hopeful, starry-eyed emerging artists, overly confident professionals and a sprinkling of mid-career folks. The show hit the ground running and challenges didn't take long to get underway.
In the first episode, we're introduced to each artist (14 total) with just a short bio and clips from their application videos. We meet an assistant of Jeff Koons (Jaclyn), a guy who has never shown his work outside of his parents' home (Erik) and a woman who already has had her work accepted into the Whitney Museum of American Art (Peregrine).
Right at the outset, performance artist Nao announces that she is too established for the competition and its promise of a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum with prize money purse of $100,000, Miles labels himself an OCD sufferer, and the rest actually seem pretty affable. For reality TV artists, anyway.
I'm going to put my neck on the line and choose my winner right now. Trong has a diverse background as a curator, visual artist, writer, lecturer and editor (ArtSlant). To top it all off, he doesn't seem to have a huge ego to work around (ahem Nao). I think his experience in multiple areas of the art world will help him to navigate the purposely rocky terrain of a competitive reality TV show. As we have seen in other, talent-based shows (American Idol, Top Chef, Last Comic Standing) the judges tend to have a high regard for inherent technical ability but always expect someone to be flexible.
Check out Bravo's information page for "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist."
The highlight of the show for me will be getting to see Jerry Saltz in action. As you may remember, I wrote a blog, "Where are all the women artists?" about Jerry Saltz and his Facebook campaign against the Museum of Modern Art. I would hazard a guess to say that he may be the best-known face on the judges panel because of his Facebook exposé.
Read the original story about Saltz's investigation and public condemnation of the MOMA's lack of women artists on display.
I truly respect Mr. Saltz's opinion and expect him to lend some curatorial and critical credence to the show. Not that Simon de Pury, Bill Powers and Jeane Greenberg Rohatyn are just some bums off the street.
Read their bios on Bravo.
In Work of Art, my bet is that Saltz will be the Tom Colicchio, or Simon Cowell, of the judging team. Basically, the mean one. But I expect more constructive critique instead of acerbic one-liners.
So, what shall the upcoming season of "Work of Art" bring? The level of cattiness is approaching mid-to-high levels already, so I'll vote for some epic verbal battles. In the clips shown from the upcoming season, we see Jaclyn inform Erik that he "doesn't belong here" which suggests there will be some entitlement issues between the established artists and the newbies. I personally do not like to watch violence so I will hope for no fisticuffs. Probably a love interest will develop. As long as they don't take a trip to the Jersey Shore, however, I'll be happy.
Many define the museum an educational tool, a historical preserve that collects and displays artwork from our collective past. On the whole, people everywhere construct architecture to symbolize and preserve their cultural beliefs. We like to gather up bits of the world so that we may reflect on what they mean and where we stand in relation to them.
But a visit to a museum does not mean just staring at old stuff. There is another feeling that accompanies the museum visit, one could say an expectancy, a hope and a trust that once one enters the building, they will experience something great. An epiphany, some sort of cultural nourishment.
In "Civilizing Rituals: Inside Public Art Museums," renowned art historian Carol Duncan posits the idea that a visit to a museum is a liminal experience. Anthropologist Victor Turner explains liminal as "a mode of consciousness outside of or betwixt-and-between the normal, day-to-day cultural and social states and processes of getting and spending."
Here again is the idea that when you visit a museum you can stop time and escape. You are expected to consider your essence and how it relates to the things around you. It's a time to engage in contemplative thought, the antithesis of the distracted lifestyle most of us live.
A recent article on NPR.org questions whether people involve themselves less in deep thought on one subject and more in a myriad of activities because of increased internet use. It takes a huge feat of will to avoid distraction on the internet and this is where most of us spend both our work and play time.
Read the NPR article and learn about "Your Brain Online."
I can honestly say that I view my museum visits as liminal experiences, as acts that bring me closer to an understanding of my own essence. I felt this way when I attended my first Whitney Biennial. I felt it in the Centre Pompidou in Paris. I felt it the recreation of Henry Darger's room at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art in Chicago. But is this the purpose of a museum? What other functions does it provide for you?

Two dog owners are reunited with their dogs after both say that their dogs were stolen.
The Pitt County Sheriff's Office says in the past two weeks they've had two reports of stolen pit bulls. Fortunately, both dogs have been returned to their owners and one man has been arrested with stealing one of the dogs.
Burma is a one-year old pit bull who was returned to his owner five days after Pitt County authorities say he was stolen from his kennel in Farmville.
James Davis says he moved into a new apartment that wouldn't accept Burma, so he put the dog with a friend who has a kennel. He says the arrangement worked out well for a few months, until he received a call that the dog was taken.
On August 4th, the Greene County Sheriff's Office arrested 34-year-old Jerress Moore at his home in Walstonburg and charged him with larceny of a dog and possession of stolen goods. It was then that Davis says Burma finally returned home.
Davis says he doesn't know Moore and isn't sure why he would take his dog.
The other victim, whose dog was taken from her Greenville home, says she too is relieved to have her dog back. That case is still under investigation.
Moore was released on a $500.00 bond. His court appearance is Thursday at the Pitt County Courthouse.

Dating, murder, and DIS Magazine were all under one roof this last week for the 10th Frieze London, the annual art fair held this year in the Regents Park area. With the works of over 1,000 artists on display from 175 galleries from around the world, this was the most global-reaching year in the event's history. It was also the busiest, and walking through the exhibition space, it wasn't hard to see why. With carefully situated holograms (produced for the fair by Cécile B. Evans) providing an audio guide, and exhibits that included the filming of a murder mystery (Murder in Three Acts by Aslı Çavuşoğlu) and an opportunity to adopt a new identity and embark on "fake dating" (Ed Fornieles' Characterdate at the Carlos/Ishikawa gallery), the curatorial direction at Frieze is one of engagement rather than arch abstraction.
In fact, so familiar were the component parts of many of the pieces on display that the atmosphere at Frieze was positively domestic. Pieces such as Lucien Smith's Yet I get a kick, I get a kick, yes, I get outta you! (Salon 94) made up of plates thrown against a wall reflected a taste for lifestyle inflections housed by tastefully minimalist interiors, the feng shui almost as important as the pieces themselves.
Little surprise then that upon my visit, the space should be hosting a ginger dinner event, serving food exclusively to curators on-site with red hair, of course (Grizedale Arts and Yangjiang Group's Colosseum of the Consumed). For those looking for something a little more traditional, the Frieze Masters show, housed at the opposite end of Regents Park (compiling work from the ancient world to the year 2000) was on hand to provide access to buy and view the kind of pieces more readily associated with museums than art fairs, along with pieces from the likes of Degas, Warhol and Picasso. Looking in from the outside, it's impossible not to wonder whether behind the scenes the atmosphere is one of an interconnected global community or a Gallery Girls-style stand off, with curators ready to slit each other's throats at the first sighting of a dealer with a suitably swollen pocket. Whatever the climate, the reflection is one of an art world whose health is understated yet undeniable, the successful curation of which aligns Frieze London with long established arts calendar staples such as Art Basel. Indeed the ascendent trajectory of the fair bares more than a passing resemblance to London's native art scene, which has benefitted hugely of late from the energy generated by the emerging galleries and art groups based around the southern hub of Peckham.
It's a scene that could be seen displaying its wares this year via Jimmy Merris' Frieze Film oh lord why didst thou make Peckham so beautiful and the life of an artist so short?, composed of a series of local portraits filmed on a makeshift steadicam sellotaped to the end of a bamboo stick. New York also strongly asserted its presence on the fair, with DIS Magazine taking full advantage of the set-pieces offered by the artworks on show to shoot a series of photos which used the gallery spaces as both subject and backdrop to their Frieze Projects Fair Trade piece. Other highlights of the city's presence at the fair included Ryan Trecartin's space at Andrea Rosen, featuring both video and sculptural pieces, and Thom Burr's anxiety-laden interior installations at the Bortolami Gallery. All of this bodes well for the second Frieze New York next May, and more generally for the Frieze brand as a whole, which, if rumours are to be believed, will soon be adding a design fair to its evolving events schedule.

Authorities say a 12-year-old boy is responsible for intentionally setting the second major fire in Lewiston in less than a week.
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) _ Friday night's blaze burned several apartment buildings and left more than 100 people homeless. Police and fire officials said Saturday at a news conference that arson was ruled the cause of the fire and that a 12-year-old boy set it.
Another blaze erupted Monday in Lewiston and destroyed three buildings. Police said a different 12-year-old boy has been charged with setting that blaze. He hasn't been identified and is scheduled to make a court appearance Monday.
About 75 people were left homeless by Monday's fire, but no one was reported injured.

West Des Moines Dowling tight end Jon Wisnieski is a prospect on the rise with three early scholarship offers and interest from several other college football programs. This past weekend, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Wisnieski paid a visit to the first team that offered him, the Iowa Hawkeyes, as he attended their junior day on Sunday."It was a good visit," said Wisnieski. "Since I have been there a couple times before, there wasn't a whole lot that was new to me, but it was still great to get out there and talk to the coaches. I got to talk to Coach Ferentz one on one for a little while and that was really cool." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

If you're celebrating a winter nuptial or two this season, you've probably been thinking about what you'll be wearing. We've rounded up a few tips and suggestions to get you started!
- There's a fine line between getting dressed up and being overdressed! It's quite the faux pas to outdress or steal the spotlight from the bride, so keep it classy and simple.
- Lace is a great fabric to wear to both a daytime or evening event. Make sure to wear a good base layer so it's not too revealing.
- For formal black-tie weddings, a black dress or gown in a sleek silhouette is the most versatile choice. You can even wear it again at those holiday parties just by changing up your accessories!
- Guys, invest in great suit separates. A single-breasted blazer is a modern way to dress up your go-to button-up shirts for a wedding. Keep it traditional by wearing the matching pant or break it up to add interest.
- Wedding receptions usually mean dancing! Make sure you've broken in your new dress shoes before hitting the dance floor. You don't want to end the night with blisters. Ladies, Foot Petals are a great idea just in case!
Check out some of our picks below for a great winter wedding outfit. For even more ideas, visit the Zappos Wedding page!
Dresses: 1. Nicole Miller Heavy Stretch Gown, 2. Badgley Mischka Long Sleeve Cowl Neck Dress, 3. Donna Morgan Jenna Lace Dress

WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Corporate insiders sell their own companies' stock for a number of reasons.They might need the cash for a big personal purchase such as a new house or yacht, or they might need the cash to fund a charity. Sometimes they sell as part of a planned selling program that they have put in place for diversification purposes, which allows them to sell stock in stages instead of selling all at one price.

Senate Bill 276, introduced by Hune, was originally Senate Bill 905, from last fall's legislative session, and did not pass. Senate Bill 276 would require recipients of cash assistance who are not exempt from the Jobs, Education, and Training programs to take part in community service programs.
"People benefiting from public assistance should do something to give back to the community that is providing them with a helping hand, and that is exactly what my bill does," said Hune. "I am glad that these common sense reforms are moving forward."
Senate Bill 276 was referred to the Senate Families, Seniors, and Human Services Committee for further consideration.
