As a self-professed math naïf, the exhibition Marc Bell Presents: The Magical World of M.C. Escher (20 January 11 April 2010) completely blows my mind. Maurits Cornelis Escher used an intricate graphing system to create his visions of symmetry, unending tessellations and improbable buildings. Perhaps best known for his Drawing Hands, Reptiles, and Self-Portrait in Spherical Mirror, all instructional mainstays for drawing classes, Escher created many more prints and drawings. A major component of his mature career was the diagramed geometric grids that he used to make interlocking designs. These designs utilize complex and varied shapes which fill the plane of the paper without leaving any voids. In the north gallery we have assembled his Regular Division of the Plane prints and drawings along with some of his preliminary sketches and equation notations. It is a unique opportunity to see the mind of Escher at work as he develops his elaborate compositions.
Besides the notations found at the edges of some artworks, Escher kept extensive notebooks tracking his various projects. A whimsical fellow, here is his synopsis of the print Reptiles, published in M.C. Escher: The Graphic Work:
The life cycle of a little alligator. Amid all kinds of objects, a drawing book lies open, and the drawing on view is a mosaic of reptilian figures in three contrasting shades. Evidently one of them has tired of lying flat and rigid amongst his fellows, so he puts one plastic-looking leg over the edge of the book, wrenches himself free and launches out into real life. He climbs up the back of a book on zoology and works his laborious way up the slippery slope of a set square to the highest point of his existence. Then after a quick snort, tired but fulfilled, he goes downhill again, via an ashtray, to the level surface, to that flat drawing paper, and meekly rejoins his erstwhile friends, taking up once more his function as an element of surface division.

The three contrasting shades mentioned are part of another primary concern for Escher; color composition. From the very beginning, Escher felt that individual motifs needed to be both recognizable and to have the same value or weight as the other motifs found within the composition. This requires that the motifs should have similar contrast and brightness. In the north gallery, you can see this tendency at work in the two representations of Sun and Moon.
But the fun doesnt stop there. This exhibition holds almost 400 items created by Escher, the second-largest private collection in the world, courtesy of Rock J. Walker of Walker Fine Arts.
The exhibition traverses his early days spent drawing in Italy, through his interests in mirrored images, impossible buildings, and tessellations. We have cancelled lithographic stones, a chair covered in an Escher print and the work table from his studio.
If you are interested in finding out more about M.C. Eschers life, you can take a curator highlight tour with Senior Curator Wendy Blazier this Tuesday at 2:30 pm for The Life and Art of M.C. Escher or on March 9th for M.C. Eschers Impossible Objects and Scenes. Free with paid admission to Museum.

Hans Ulrich Obrist, named "most powerful figure in the international art world" by ArtReview magazine in their November 2009 issue, recently moderated a
symposium at the Louisiana Museum of
Modern Art, Copenhagen.
This symposium deliberately coincided with the larger United
Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15). Obrist first made headlines in 1992
when he founded the Museum Herbert Walser, a migratory museum. The idea was to constantly shift the location
of the museum, moving between cities and countries. His innovative vision of a museum that always
questioned itself - parameters and operations changing with each show - helped
to establish him as a progressive director/curator who not only considers the "what"
in an exhibition, but also the "why" and the "how."
Obrist has become known as an art-world powerhouse, having
worked as critic, writer, curator and co-director (Serpentine Gallery, London).
Keeping in line with his tradition of creative catalyst, Obrist recently
facilitated a symposium comprised of eminent art-world personalities like
Shilpa Gupta, Olafur Eliasson and Peter Weibel, among others. The focus of their conversations was
sustainability in the creative sector and challenges that face the
What of us here, in South Florida? If one cannot attend an international meeting
of the minds to contemplate art and the planet, what shall an artist do? Why, make art, of course. Personally, I feel that artists have a moral
imperative to address the mounting issues in our communities, both locally and
globally. Climate change and waste are
not the only issues to address; there are those on a social level, such as the
breakdown of intimate social interactions facilitated by omnipresent technology,
issues of racism and sexism, and so on.
Artists are in a
unique position to reach a public audience who will stop and consider what they
are saying. When someone takes time out
of their day to get in their car, drive to an art gallery or museum and look at
your work rather than doing any number of other things, they are yours for a
time. They have deposited themselves at
your doorstep and now it is up to you how you make use of their time. It is a chance for an artist to point to
issues and resolutions that the visitor may not have otherwise considered. Below are a few examples of artists who I
think have done a superb job of tying art to pressing issues in a way that the
public can understand.

In the context of an international worldview, if the most
powerful figure is someone that feels social responsibility rather than create
items for conspicuous consumption,
then I encourage all artists to take a page from Obrist's notes.
Keith Sonnier, Cross Station, circa 1987, aluminum,
neon tubes, wire, edition of 4, 50 x 48 x 8 inches.
Permanent Collection 2004.111. Gift of the Estate of Edna Sloan Beron
Renowned light artist Keith Sonnier (1941, Mamou, Louisiana) - whose work can be seen at the Boca Raton Museum of Art - has roots in the American Minimalism movement, which took place in the 1960s. His peers are artists like Bruce Nauman, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Eva Hesse and Robert Morris - artists who rejected pictorial illusionism and put their trust in real space.
Additionally, these artists redefined sculpture through the use of unusual materials (fabric, latex, industrial elements and light) in the 1960s-70s. One minimalist element of Sonnier's work is its relation to the space in which it is exhibited rather than a fictional space found within the confines of a frame.
Instead of pointing to itself, as narrative pictures do, it points outwards, to its surrounding elements. When one looks at a piece of light art, one also looks at wall space, architecture and even the other people that inhabit the gallery space around them. Elements of this phenomenon can be seen in other light artists' work - Dan Flavin and James Turrell, for example.
The defining element of Sonnier's style is his use of neon light. The sharp linear quality of neon as it emits from its tube casing allows Sonnier to essentially "draw" on an architectural element, in addition to creating a diffuse wash of color as it falls on differing planes. The wall, generally considered a structural support, is now a part of his canvas.
Currently, Sonnier resides in New York City, where he continues to create light art sculptures. Some of his recent projects include the Tunnel of Tears which was featured at the reopening of P.S.1 in Long Island in 1997, and gallery shows at the Joseloff Gallery at the University of Hartford, CT, Galerie JGM in Paris, and PaceWildenstein, New York.
For Tunnel of Tears, Sonnier, bathed the interior of a chimney at P.S. 1 in blue and pink light. Sonnier integrated the existing architecture so that when looking at the piece, one can get a whole new feel for an interior that normally would have gone unnoticed.
Alternatively, the work shown at JGM Galerie departs from his standard installation method. USA: War of the Worlds (2004) has a more confined feel to it, with American flags boxing in the color emitting from tubes of light at the center of the piece. Rather than the light painting a wall, the flags create a space with marked borders, making it difficult for the light to emanate beyond.
This motif is repeated with Baghdad Relic (2004), also at JGM, wherein the mounted sea shells (listed as found objects) create a partition between light and wall, effectively absorbing a majority of the color. Once you are familiar with the trajectory of Sonnier's work, this deviation in style becomes all the more poignant.
Almost all of Sonnier's works ask us to see light and color as a medium, blurring our understanding of object and environment.

An art museum typically does not spend a great deal of time disseminating information about environmental issues, such as the plight of delicate ecosystems. But with the BRMA's current - and soon-to-close - exhibition Clyde Butcher: Wilderness Visions, the Museum has recently had cause to explore issues relevant to Florida's beautiful, enigmatic and fragile Everglades.
Mr. Butcher talks to seminar attendees
On Oct. 3, Mr. Butcher - a noted Florida wildlife photographer well-known for his undying passion for Everglades preservation - visited the Museum to lead a two-hour seminar/workshop/lecture about his black-and-white photography techniques and the ways in which his style has adapted to changing technology. Mr. Butcher, who spends a great deal of time "on the ground" in the Everglades, capturing images of the flora and fauna, also shared anecdotes about his time in the field.
The seminar (to which Members received a discounted entry) was open to the public, and enjoyed a sell-out crowd. After the event, attendees had the chance to mingle with Mr. Butcher and participate in a book-signing.
Everglades Lecture at Museum
As a compliment to the Clyde Butcher exhibition - which prominently features several large-scale images of the Everglades - the Museum's Education Department arranged for a free Everglades Lecture with local wetlands expert, Eric Gehring. The open event was held Oct. 28 at the BRMA. Museum Curator of Education Claire Clum emphasized the Museum's commitment to honor Mr. Butcher's mission to preserve "Florida's treasure."
Eric Gehring, the Education Director at the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation, used a PowerPoint presentation and interactive audience exercises to highlight the Everglades size, scope, history and current efforts to restore and preserve the wetlands. Listed below are a few of the stand-out points that I picked up from Mr. Gehring's presentation:
Mr. Gehring's primary message was the value in recognizing the vital functions of the Everglades and the continued need to protect and maintain this vulnerable asset.
As a final note: Clyde Butcher: Wilderness Visions closes this Sunday, November 8, 2009.

On Nov. 30, for the third time in a week, Interstate-71 was completely shut down or severely restricted by accidents between Interstate-265 and Crestwood (Exit 14).
In my opinion, emergency mediation of this five-mile section of highway is as serious as the repair to the Sherman Minton Bridge. Not to mention the costs involved due to EMS, police and fire departments or the overwhelming traffic diverted onto Ky. 146, Ky. 22, Ky. 329 and narrow roads in the area.

Based on a recipe beloved by generations of a Maine family, this version arrives in an oven-safe dish, requiring no work from you other than popping it in a hot oven for 30 minutes. Generous meaty chunks of fresh Maine lobster are the star here. The lobster is combined with creamy Arborio rice, a touch of Swiss cheese and fresh crimini mushrooms for rich depth of flavor. A topping of panko bread crumbs mixed with lemon herb butter adds the finishing touch.

Spock (alternate reality)
this wiki
(split 2233)
"Spock, you are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is: which path will you choose? This is something only you can decide."
Spock – full name generally considered unpronounceable to Humans – was a Human/Vulcan hybrid who served with Starfleet in the 23rd century. As an instructor at Starfleet Academy, he programmed the Kobayashi Maru scenario. From 2258, he was first officer under Christopher Pike and his successor, James T. Kirk, aboard the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek)
Early life
Spock was born to Sarek, a Vulcan, and Amanda Grayson, a Human, in 2230 in the city of Shi'Kahr on Vulcan. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TAS: "Yesteryear"; Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
As a young boy, Spock was often the target of abuse from his schoolmates because of his Human ancestry. On one particular occasion in which three of his classmates accused his father of being a traitor for marrying "that Human whore," Spock lost emotional control and was so angered that he violently beat up the lead tormentor, exhibiting such rage that, despite their advantage in size and numbers, the other two made no attempt to help their friend. Previously, he had counted that the incident was the thirty-fifth time those particular schoolmates had attempted to elicit an emotional response from him. When he then spoke to his disappointed father about his mother, asking him why he had married a Human, Sarek coldly remarked that his decision to marry her was the logical choice, given that he was an ambassador of Vulcan to Earth.
After completing the advanced training which he began during childhood in the Vulcan Learning Center, Spock applied to both the Vulcan Science Academy and Starfleet Academy. He was also considering completing his training in the kolinahr – the Vulcan ritual of purging all vestigial emotions – and asked his mother whether she would think less of him for discarding emotion in that way. His mother simply remarked that she would always be proud of him, no matter what choices he made. He later was admitted to the Vulcan Science Academy, but declined the offer after the board remarked that his admission to the Academy was especially commendable considering his "disadvantage" of being half-Human.
Starfleet career
Spock went on to attend Starfleet Academy, and would come to be known as one of its most distinguished graduates. By 2258, he had attained the rank of commander, and acted as an instructor at the Academy.
Spock was in charge of starship assignments for the cadets. He initially assigned Lieutenant Nyota Uhura to the USS Farragut, in spite of Uhura's stated desire to serve aboard the USS Enterprise, the new flagship. Commander Spock had served as Cadet Uhura's instructor and judged her performance to be consistently exemplary but, to avoid giving the appearance of favoritism, he assigned her to the Farragut instead. Uhura later confronted him about this choice, noting that she was more than qualified to serve aboard the Enterprise as confirmed by Spock on many occasions. After this conversation, she was assigned to the Enterprise by Spock.
Spock programmed the Kobayashi Maru scenario, the purposes of which were to allow cadets to experience fear in the face of death and, in confronting such fear, to enable them to develop skills necessary for command. When James T. Kirk was ultimately able to pass the test and defeat the scenario, Spock accused the cadet of inserting a subroutine into the program, changing the simulation to his favor, so he could win. At a hearing of the Academy board, Kirk asked for the right to confront Spock directly, and the two clashed over Kirk's actions.
USS Enterprise
The hearing was cut short by the receipt of a distress call from Vulcan, and Spock reported to the USS Enterprise as first officer under Captain Christopher Pike. En route to Vulcan, Spock once again clashed with Kirk, who had come aboard the Enterprise without authorization. Over Kirk's arguments that the distress call from Vulcan was the result of an attack by Romulans, Spock demanded that Kirk be removed from the bridge – but when Uhura vouched for the accuracy of a crucial element of Kirk's claims, Spock decided that Kirk was probably right, and as a result, Pike ordered the ship ready before dropping out of warp. Ultimately, arrival at Vulcan, which was under attack, proved that Kirk was correct, and contact was made with the Romulan vessel Narada, which was attacking the planet. When contact was established with the ship's captain, Nero, he appeared to know Spock, although Spock had never met the Romulan before. Pike, who was ordered to transport himself to the Narada, left Spock in charge as acting captain.
Following the disabling of the Narada's drill platform and revealing Nero's plans, Spock beamed to the surface to at least rescue the Vulcan Council, including his father and mother. As the survivors were about to be beamed aboard the Enterprise, the disintegrating surface of the planet collapsed beneath Spock's mother before the transport could be completed and she died. She was one of almost six billion killed with the loss of the planet.
Struggling with the loss of his world and the death of his mother, Spock received comfort from Uhura. After deciding to take the Enterprise to the Laurentian system to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet, and engaging in a furious debate with Kirk which led to him employing the Vulcan nerve pinch on the acting first officer, Spock ordered Kirk to be thrown off the ship, jettisoning him in an escape pod near Delta Vega.
With the Enterprise now at warp, Spock was surprised when Kirk and Montgomery Scott were able to beam aboard the ship, and demanded to know how they had been able to transport during warp. Kirk, who had by now met with a version of Spock who had traveled back in time with Nero, had also been told that in order to save Earth, he himself had to take over command of the Enterprise. The older Spock had asked Kirk to sufficiently provoke the younger Spock, in order to show everyone that he was too emotionally compromised to be in command. Kirk made several unsuccessful attempts to insult and cajole Spock, until finally a jibe about whether Spock had loved his late mother made the Vulcan snap, attacking Kirk and coming extremely close to killing him. He was only stopped by his father and, quickly realizing what had happened, he stepped down from command. Returning to the transporter room, Spock was comforted by the words of his father, who admitted that he actually had married Amanda because he loved her.
After a brief cool-down period, Spock returned to duty, accepting Kirk's command, and endorsed Pavel Chekov's plan to hide the Enterprise in Titan's atmosphere. He then volunteered to beam to the Narada, noting that the similarities between Romulan and Vulcan language and culture would help him in determining the location of Captain Pike and determine a way to destroy the vessel. Kirk, now in command, agreed, and accompanied Spock aboard the Narada. In the Enterprise transporter room, Spock and Uhura kissed. When told by Uhura that she would be monitoring their comm frequencies, Spock thanked "Nyota", revealing the first name Kirk had attempted unsuccessfully to learn ever since first meeting her three years prior.
After a brief phaser fight with the Romulan crew aboard the Narada, Spock was able to locate the the elder Spock's ship and Captain Pike. On board the Jellyfish, the computer recognized him as Ambassador Spock; when Kirk made an obviously sarcastic show of "surprise" and the computer stated that the ship had been built 129 years in the future, Spock realized exactly who Kirk had encountered on Delta Vega.
Attacking the Narada from the inside, Spock escaped into Earth's orbit, and was able to destroy the drill platform as it dug into San Francisco Bay. Ultimately, the black hole, with assistance from the Enterprise's weapons, consumed the Narada and Nero, who had refused humanitarian assistance. Spock, angered over the destruction of his world, took the non-logical path for once, telling Kirk that while it was logical to offer help, this time he didn't want to do it.
First officer of the Enterprise
Back on Earth, Spock finally met with his older counterpart, who explained to him that he had wanted to make sure that Spock and Kirk became friends and shared the kind of friendship he and the other Kirk from his timeline shared: something which would ultimately define them both and was a crucial aspect of their lives. Spock had planned to resign from Starfleet and help rebuild Vulcan society, but the elder counterpart urged him to remain with Starfleet and to also put aside logic once in a while and do what felt right. About to join the surviving Vulcans himself, the prime Spock chose not to offer his alternate self the traditional Vulcan salute, noting that it would have seemed self-serving; instead he wished him good luck.
With Kirk now in command of the Enterprise, Spock offered his services as First Officer, which Kirk gladly accepted.
Romantic relationships
Nyota Uhura
Although it was kept as a secret for the most part, [1] Spock and Uhura had a romantic relationship that was established prior the start of their careers on board the Enterprise. Since Spock was an instructor at Starfleet Academy, he met Uhura while she was one of his students and, possibly later, the Academy aide for his Advanced Phonology class. [2] However, it is still unknown under which circumstances a relationship was formed between them and if she still was one of his students at the time.
While on board the Enterprise, Spock and Uhura maintained a formal professional relationship and the true nature of their feelings for one another was displayed only on rare occasions where the apparent adopted formality of their interactions while at work was replaced by hints of familiarity, one example of which was when Uhura openly confronted him about her getting assigned to the USS Farragut even though she was qualified to serve aboard the USS Enterprise, to which Spock replied that his decision was just "an attempt to avoid the appearance of favoritism". Another example was when a concerned Uhura called him by name and not by rank when he was about to beam himself to the Vulcan surface to rescue his parents and the Vulcan High Council, Uhura being the only person to whom, in the midst of a crisis, he actually paused to explain what he was about to do and his reasons.
However, the most explicit hint about them being connected beyond a professional partnership was when Uhura comforted Spock after Vulcan was destroyed by Nero and, in the privacy of the turbolift, he did take comfort from her. Later, their relationship was revealed to Kirk and Scott when they witnessed Spock and Uhura kissing in the transporter room, where Spock also called her by her first name "Nyota".
James T. Kirk
Spock and Kirk had a complicated and troubled relationship from the start. As an instructor at Starfleet Academy and the creator of the Kobayashi Maru scenario, Spock did not appreciate that Kirk had altered the program so he could beat it. In fact, he openly accused him of having cheated and as a result, Kirk had to answer before an inquiry board at the Academy for his actions. Kirk was subsequently suspended and only with the help of Doctor Leonard McCoy was he able to come on board the Enterprise. Kirk and Spock continued to clash with one another over vastly different view points and philosophies they held. Kirk was self-assured, overconfident and had an unconventional way of approaching matters, while Spock was highly disciplined, always honoring regulations and adhering to a strict code of conduct. Spock's lack of tolerance for Kirk's ways resulted in Spock just throwing Kirk off the ship altogether, the first opportunity he got. When Kirk later provoked him by referencing his mother, Amanda Grayson, Spock lost all control and was more than eager to hurt Kirk.
Spock's attitude toward Kirk softened, however, after his encounter with an alternate version of himself who advised both of them to set aside their momentary irritations, revealing that in his timeline, the two had shared a great friendship. After they worked side by side to save Earth and beat the Narada, Spock became Kirk's first officer aboard the Enterprise.

Sean Gerace, a researcher on the film Star Trek who also appeared in the movie, turned the producers' attention to Jacob Kogan. (audio commentary for Star Trek, Star Trek (Special Edition/Three disc Blu-ray))
Placing faith in Bad Robot Productions, Zachary Quinto publicly pursued the role, aware that there was a risk he wouldn't be cast in the part. (Star Trek Magazine issue 145, p. 16) "Zach has always known somewhere in his heart that he was going to play this role," remarked casting director April Webster. (Star Trek Magazine issue 144, p. 29) She further said, "This is something that he's always wanted to play. I guess when you have intention that strong, it sort of became inevitable in this case." Even before casting for the film began, rumors were rife that Quinto would be selected to play Spock. (SciFiNow, issue 27, p. 033)
April Webster and fellow casting director Alyssa Weisberg saw a couple of male actors for the part but Zachary Quinto was one of the first who they recorded auditioning. He was auditioned shortly after Webster began working on the film herself, his performances observed by not only her but also by a casting director friend of hers named Mark Scott. (Star Trek Magazine issue 144, p. 29) Quinto's auditions were taped for producer and director J.J. Abrams, with the realization that the actor's schedule on Heroes would have to be worked around. (SciFiNow, issue 27, p. 033) "We didn't put that many [actors] on [tape] because truly, once Zachary Quinto did it, we knew he was Spock," Webster recalled. His physical appearance was a huge part of what made Quinto an appealing option for the casting department, who found him to have a striking resemblance to how original Spock actor Leonard Nimoy looked in his own youth. (Star Trek Magazine issue 144, p. 29)
While J.J. Abrams was considering Zachary Quinto for the role, Leonard Nimoy himself had some limited involvement in the casting. He later explained, "J.J. [...] sent me some footage of Zachary's previous work. I immediately saw the value. He looked to me to be believable, but probably more importantly, he showed great intelligence as an actor, and a great internal life, which I think is terribly important for the Spock character. I called J.J. immediately and said 'I think you've found a wonderful choice.'" (Star Trek Magazine Souvenir Special, pp. 67-68)
Despite his degree of physical similarity to Leonard Nimoy, auditioning Zachary Quinto for the role nevertheless involved multiple iterations of his performance. "We had poor Zach do it 12 different ways – we didn't know what we were looking for, really. We didn't know if they wanted the controlled Spock, or the Spock where we see his human side," stated Webster. "We played with it a million ways and just showed J.J. everything." (Star Trek Magazine issue 144, p. 29) Thus, attempting to adopt the character of Spock at first proved somewhat challenging for Quinto. "That's a very tough part [for] anyone to play," Webster mused. "Even if you look like them, it's a hard part for someone to play. How do you play someone caught between these two personalities? Or caught between these two realities of having been shamed his whole life for being half human, and having that aspect of himself in control all of the time? I think that Zachary really found a fine line there for us. In the end, his casting was a no-brainer." Indeed, Quinto was, according to Webster, cast "almost right away." He subsequently opined that one element which helped him attain the role was that he personally related to the duality inherent in the character. "I think that there are many experiences that I've had," remarked the actor, "that informed this iteration of the character and where he is in this journey." (SciFiNow, issue 27, pp. 032 & 033)
Zachary Quinto signed up to play Spock before having read the script for Star Trek. Once he read the screenplay, he was satisfied that he had made the right choice, later stating, "The complexity of the story, the deeply rooted internal conflict, the vulnerability that Spock comes up against in this film was really compelling to me as an actor [....] One thing really leads to another in a great way for my character." (Star Trek Magazine issue 145, p. 16)
The reserved emotionality of the character continued to be vital to Zachary Quinto, throughout the making of the movie, and was also important to Jacob Kogan. The latter actor mused about the role, "Pretty much, if you're playing a part that is trying to keep their emotions in, then that's the emotion you're trying to convey [.....] I feel like it's not exactly showing your emotions but showing your motives and if Spock's motive is to hide his emotions, then that's what he's showing." [7] Quinto similarly commented, "For me as the actor playing the character, there was so much that had to be contained throughout Spock's journey." (Star Trek Magazine issue 145, p. 16)
Because Leonard Nimoy has earlobes whereas Zachary Quinto doesn't, lobes were intentionally sculpted into Quinto's prosthetic ears for his appearance as Spock, in order to match Nimoy's ears. (Star Trek Magazine issue 155, p. 56) Quinto's ear prosthetics encompassed most of both his ears. A prototype clay sculpture of Quinto with Vulcan ears, though without hair, was also created by Proteus FX makeup effects supervisor Barney Burman, who was credited with designing and creating the film's aliens. (Cinefex, No. 118, pp. 47 & 52) Quinto's first makeup screen test as Spock was in October 2007 and included his own hair but a pair of prosthetic ears. (Star Trek Special Edition/Three disc Blu-ray documentary featurette "To Boldly Go")
To further enhance Zachary Quinto's appearance as Spock, Makeup Department Head Mindy Hall shaved Quinto's eyebrows and replaced them with hair that she used to create more sharply angled eyebrows, after which Hair Department Head Terrell Baliel added a custom wig. (Cinefex, No. 118, p. 47) Upon preparing for the filming of Star Trek Into Darkness, Quinto described the requirement of having his eyebrows shaved for the role as "definitely the most tedious part of playing Spock." He went on to say, "The first time, it took three weeks for them to come back in a way that I didn't have to wear my glasses every day to hide them. It was probably two months before they were really thick and bushy again." [8] On the other hand, Quinto did value the makeup and hair required for the part, generally. "The hair and makeup process is incredibly important for a character like Spock, who is so inextricably identified by his aesthetic," said Quinto. "It informs a tremendous amount of his cultural identity. The process took about two hours, and around halfway through that time I felt a shift within myself – a kind of emergence that would bring the character to life for the remainder of the day." (Star Trek - The Art of the Film, p. 63)
Quinto and Kogan's performances as Spock were not influenced by each other, with neither of them seeing one another's acting until after the film Star Trek was produced. [9] Quinto instead took inspiration from Leonard Nimoy's past portrayal of the character. They "spent a great deal of time getting to know each other and talking before I started shooting," Quinto explained, "and in all that time, I was also doing my own stuff. Leonard and I watched two Spock-centric episodes together – "Amok Time" was one of them – and we talked about the character and the experience of shooting them. Most of my work was done on my own – a lot of research and reading – or with Leonard before we started shooting. While we were shooting the movie, I would watch old episodes of the show in my trailer when I was hanging out in there, just to keep me rooted in the specificity and uniqueness of the world [....] When I saw [the film], it made so much sense that my version of Spock would evolve into [Nimoy's]." (Star Trek Magazine issue 145, pp. 18 & 19) Nimoy himself offered, "When Zachary and I met for the first time, he had already done a lot of research on his own. He had a good sense of what it was all about. We did spend quite a bit of time together, but it was more getting to know each other, than any specifics like how to do the Vulcan grip. It was really something terribly important: an understanding of the internal life of this character. What of mine came to the character, and what of his could come to the character." (Star Trek Magazine Souvenir Special, p. 69)
Leonard Nimoy was ultimately very impressed with how Zachary Quinto assumed the role of Spock in the film Star Trek. "I found Zachary Quinto did things with the character that had never occurred to me, which I found quite delicious," Nimoy enthused. "I think he really has found a way to expand the character while at the same time, if you can understand what I'm trying to say, being true to the character. He has found ways to enrich the character. He's wonderful and I'm really proud of what he has done." (Star Trek Magazine Souvenir Special, p. 69) Nimoy also reckoned about Quinto, "I think he could have a great career as Spock: if he wants it, it's there for him." (Star Trek Magazine issue 145, p. 56)
In the novelization of Star Trek, Spock says that he is going to be the first Vulcan in Starfleet. However, this would seem to contradict T'Pol enlisting in Star Trek: Enterprise, although he may be referring to the Federation Starfleet, as opposed to the United Earth Starfleet.
Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy also lent their voices to Star Trek Online, where they play an Emergency Medical Hologram and Spock, respectively; the EMH serves as a guide in the game tutorial while Spock serves as a narrator.

For those who adore the winter outdoors, there are numerous types of skiing from cross country to Nordic to freestyle. Skiing requires skill, endurance and can incinerate calories so it's vital to fuel before each run and at the end of the skiing day to maximise your performance.
Building muscle can make you a better skier and allow you to carve up the slopes with more efficiency. As well as increasing your skiing fitness, you'll improve your stamina so you can ski for longer without getting tired.
Using nutritional supplements can optimise your nutritional intake so you can fuel prior to hitting the slopes and get speedier recovery as soon as you've done. Taking in carbohydrates every few hours while on the mountain is important to restock muscle glycogen but you don't want heavy meals that can cause upset stomach.
Ready-to-drinks make an ideal choice for taking up the mountain as they're easy to transport and digest quickly providing essential carbs with muscle building protein.
It's important to replace lost fluids to prevent cramping so sports drinks can replace lost minerals and rehydrate the body. Even in cold temperatures skiers wear layers of clothing and can lose fluid through sweating due to the energy burned when skiing.
Energy & Endurance supplements such as Energy gels or sports drinks replace muscle glycogen that's used for energy and give you the stamina to stay on the slopes all day. Post workout recovery is important so you don't get sore the next day, particularly if you plan to ski again and use the same muscles repetitively.
Taking L-Glutamine and Branch Chain Amino Acids can reduce muscle soreness as well as boost the immune system. Even in the off-season many serious skiers like to stay in shape through other sports like biking or hiking so maintaining strength is important.
Taking sports supplements during the off-season can keep you trim and fit and incorporating meal replacements or nutrition bars can keep you on track nutritionally so you don't lose muscle tissue when you can't ski.
Both inexperienced skiers and seasoned veterans are prone to injuries from falling down and broken bones are common in the sport of skiing. Taking a Joint or Bone supplement reduces the risk of injury by strengthening both joint and bone tissue.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Erik Murphy scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed a career-best 12 rebounds to help the 13th-ranked Florida Gators take the first step Friday toward trying to add a Southeastern Conference tournament title to their regular season championship by beating LSU 80-58.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive presented Florida coach Billy Donovan with the regular season trophy before tipoff. Then the Gators (25-6) started working toward their first tournament title since 2007 when they wrapped up a three-peat. They will play either Tennessee or Alabama in the semifinals Saturday.
Scottie Wilbekin added 16 points, matching his career-best with four 3-pointers. Michael Frazier II had 11 and Patric Young 10 for Florida.
Ninth-seeded LSU (19-12) tried to keep up with the rested Gators but looked a step slow with too many shots just short a day after beating Georgia to advance.
Charles Carmouche led the Tigers with 14 points.

AUBURN, Ind. (21Alive) -- The Deputy Consulate General of the Republic of Poland paid a visit to Auburn just to see the World War II Victory Museum.
Deputy Consulate General Robert Rusiecki says he heard about the museum through a foreign ministry official in Warsaw, Poland's capital, and decided to make a special trip.
Sept. 1 marks the 75th anniversary of World War II, when Germany invaded Poland.
Rusiecki says Poland formed an important bond with the United States following WWII that continues today.
"The Second World War is still a very important chapter for the Poles," Rusiecki says. "There are still a lot of people who remember those times. There isn't a single family in Poland that hadn't lost a son or brother or husband during the war."
Rusiecki says his fellow citizens would travel to see Auburn's museum.
"I thought that it was going to be a very interesting place, but I underestimated that. It's wonderful! And it's so big and so interesting that you could spend days here looking at those objects," he said.
Rusiecki went on to say the museum surpassed all his expectations, and he might have to plan another trip in order to see everything. He says he plans to share his discoveries with everyone back home, and in the Polish community in Chicago, where he currently lives.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The storms that recently covered parts of the U.S. with snow won't be enough to ease the nation's drought.
In fact, climatologists say, it would take historic snowfalls -- an absurd amount, really -- to undo the damage inflicted by one of the driest years on record.
Tom Schwarz understands that all too well. He believes it would take 150 inches to get the soil on his 750-acre Nebraska farm back to its pre-drought condition in time for spring planting. That's unlikely to happen in an area that usually gets about 30 inches per winter.
Climatologists say Schwarz's estimate isn't far off, in part because it takes about a foot of snow, depending on density, to equal an inch of water.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visits the General Satellite Control and Command Center on the outskirts of Pyongyang, Dec. 12, 2012. (Credit: AP)
The U.S. missile defense system is getting beefed up.
The Obama administration announced today it will add 14 missile interceptors to the 30 that are already in place in California and Alaska.
The administration says the move is in response to threats from North Korea to attack the U.S. with nuclear weapons.
U.S. officials say they don't think North Korea has the capability of hitting the U.S. at this point, but the threats add to tension between the two countries.
The missile interceptors allow the U.S. to shoot down missiles while they are still in flight.

Antwon Bailey
Vol State alumnus Antwon Bailey has a habit of creating "firsts". He was the first student debater at Vol State and the first African-American honors student. However, he is certainly not the first student to be inspired in a Bob Ruff history class.
"He demands critical thinking. Through the experience of arguing in a respectful way, and using critical thinking, he inspires dialogue between students. Dr. Ruff nurtured my love of history. My love of history sparked my love of politics," said Bailey.
That new found passion took him to MTSU for a degree in political science and front lines work on political campaigns. Bailey soon realized though, that he wanted something more.
"I wanted to get closer to the problems so I could help with the solution."
A Master of Public Administration degree from DePaul University fueled a new focus in community organizing. The location in Chicago made Bailey's next career move a natural fit. He is now organizing union members with the United Food and Commercial Workers union. That brings him in contact with workers with some of the nation's largest employers, including Sears, Macy's and Tyson.
"Chicago historically has been a hub of union activity. That region has a lot of cultural support for unions," Bailey said. "Unions are in trouble. They're under attack like never before. Unions gave us so many things that we take for granted today. If unions go away, it's going to get worse for workers. I feel like we're holding the line."
Bailey supervises four other UFCW organizers for the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. "We encourage workers to stand up for the issues that are important to them."
The Vol State alum is also taking his experience international, through a fellowship with the U.S. State Department. He has been working with visitors from Turkey. The goal of the program is to build non-profit support for women and children in Turkey. It's a two-year project that will take him to Istanbul later this year for two and a half weeks of work on the ground.
"The program is called 'The Young Turkey and Young American Program'. I was selected because of my involvement with an at-risk-youth program sponsored by the Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development -- an urban affairs think-tank in Chicago. I worked there for almost two years while in grad school at DePaul. In Turkey, I will meet with their State Department counterparts and present our project proposals. We have already met in D.C. to present an overview of our proposals. Then we will have site visits to various NGOs (non-governmental organizations) around Istanbul and experience firsthand the roles that civil society play in the lives of women and children in Turkey. My subgroup will develop and implement a pen-pal program between women in Istanbul, Bitlis, and Chicago. Some of the Chicago women speak only Spanish. Translations will be critical to our success."
Bailey is prepared to have more firsts in a career of public service.
"I would like to continue working to help people and break down the barriers we all erect because of our human inclination to stereotype people."

Betty Jean's College Christmas Present to HerselfPlenty can happen in 34 years, especially if you're willing to work to make it happen. 47-year-old Betty Jean Baxter of Gallatin says that the key is to keep going.
"I got pregnant in the sixth grade," she said. "I had the baby in the seventh grade. I was trying to go to school and take care of my baby. And then I had another baby."
Flash forward to today: "I graduate from Vol State in December. My birthday is January first. This is my Christmas and birthday present to myself!"
The road to that college degree has not been easy. "I worked on the GED (high school equivalency) for twenty-some years. I just kept at it. I was doing school and trying to work and take care of the kids." When asked how she found the strength to raise three children, work full-time and attend classes, Baxter gives a big smile. "My husband. I got married in 2005 and my husband pushed me and would not let me give up."
Baxter finally passed the GED test in 2008. The hard work was not over. She made the decision to attend Volunteer State Community College. "My first semester I failed English. I went back in the summer and I got a B. I've learned to stay on a certain course. If you want to get something done, you have to stay at it."
The TRIO Student Support Services program at Vol State has helped her on the path, offering tutoring and other academic assistance. She is pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree in Accounting.
"I hate numbers. But my husband is a carpenter, so instead of getting someone else to do his books, I can do it." A business degree has other benefits. "I've always wanted to own my own beauty shop. I've learned to manage money and operate a business. I know how to keep books; everything I think I will need."
She says that another reason to attend college is to show her daughters how important education can be. "I knew that to set a good example for my children, they needed to see me pushing to make my life better."
Her oldest daughter, Aquilla Cook, plans to attend Vol State this spring. Baxter hopes her youngest daughter, Ashanti Jackson, will also be attending soon. Jackson needs just a few more classes to get her degree. Baxter's advice to other adults who may be dreaming of a college degree is simple.
"Life is not easy at all. In order to make a good life for you and your family, you are going to have to keep pushing. There may be a point where you want to quit. Just keep going. You might have to slow down. Just keep pushing."
Betty Jean Baxter will graduate from Vol State as the proud mother of three children and grandmother to 13 grandchildren. Her college career is not ending in December. She will keep pushing. She plans to attend Trevecca Nazarene University next fall.
Spring classes at Vol State start on January 16. For information visit www.volstate.edu

The Sanitary Fish Market along the Morehead City waterfront is celebrating 75-years in business.
It was on February 10th, 1938 The Sanitary Fish Market opened. A few months later 12 stools were set up at a counter in the market along with a two burner kerosene stove, creating the Sanitary Restaurant.
So just where did the restaurant get it's name? This is what the restaurant's website says: "On February 10, 1938, two partners, Tony Seamon and Ted Garner, opened a fresh seafood market on the Morehead City waterfront. A small building had been rented from Charles S. Wallace for $5.50 per week with the understanding that no beer or wine would be sold and that the premises be kept clean and neat. The name "Sanitary Fish Market" was chosen by the partners to project their compliance."
The coastal landmark now seats 600.

- "4 Yetti [sic] footprints: True sighting or another prank?"
- —The Quibbler[src]
The Yeti is a magical creature native to Tibet.
The yeti is gigantic in size; it stands up to 15 feet tall, and is a snowy white furred humanoid creature, that may be related to the troll.
Protection from Yetis
It fears fire, and skilled wizards should be able to repel it as to be able to escape. The Yeti will attack and eat any thing that it meets, so no witch or wizard has had the opportunity to study it up close yet.
Yetis are one of the Wizarding World's worst kept secrets as there had been so many Muggle sightings of the Yeti. Because of this Tibet has one of the worst Wizarding secrecy records, due to its continuing breaches of Clause 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. The International Confederation of Wizards had to place a permanent International Task Force up in the mountains to help control the situation.
The Yeti is also known as Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman, the Bigfoot variety lives in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
Gilderoy Lockhart taught his second year class about the Yeti, probably using his book Year with the Yeti. However, based on his fraudulence, his information is taken from a more accomplished person and his own version is twisted into inaccuracy.
In 1998 The Quibbler questioned that 4 Yeti footprints were sighted or if it was another prank. Xenophilius Lovegood misspelled Yeti as Yetti.

You want to use real existent landforms in your fantasy map? For shame!
Really, I'm not understanding your dilemma though....
So... I was looking at some pretty landscapes a friend was sharing with me, to sooth my ruffled feathers about a river issue... and there was this picture I skimmed past, but then I went through the pics a second time and realized it was one of the most beautiful (land/water-wise) things I'd ever seen. I didn't realize it at first because it's in a really dirty/ugly/metro place.
Normally, that wouldn't have occured to me at all... I don't paint metro areas... but when I saw this I thought "I want to map this".
Not, "as is" with buildings and factories and roads and smog... but, like... as a part of a larger fantasy world.
In essence, what I want to do, is steal an island. The whole island, with the river/falls around it, and the river banks on either side, and take the whole thing and clean it up.... send it back in time to when it was fresh and new and untouched by mankind. Then, I want to populate it PROPERLY with a race of people who will take care of it, and preserve it (some sort of elvish people, maybe) and build it up into a pretty little village and ... nevermind.
Point is, although I would be re-working *everything* (And all the actual marks on the virtual-paper would be mine,) I'd have to steal an island first.
I don't have any ethical holdups about this... I paint landscapes. That's what we do
BUT all the fantasy maps I've seen (and tutorials) here are about drawing your coastlines and whatnot from scratch or from random generations, and I started to wonder if stealing existing land forms is even allowed. (Or at least frowned upon..)
So, what's the etiquette for something like that? I don't mean someone else's work or their created worlds.. I mean, places that actually exist, that you could see from an airplane or a photograph or... you get what I mean, right? >.<
You want to use real existent landforms in your fantasy map? For shame!
Really, I'm not understanding your dilemma though....
I have seen people redo Tolkien maps before, I think it would be fine to use this map as a reference as long as it's going to be a personal project.
There is nothing wrong with what you are wanting to do, as I see it. You are not stealing someone else's work, all your doing is using nature as inspiration.
Okay, since no one started throwing stones yet...
This is Goat Island:
So... I want to take it, and trace it (just the height of the land/depth of the water):
So that I can see the heights/depths without all the... clutter.
Then I want to get rid of everything but that tracing, and try to... *redraw* (without tracing) and paint the water and land, and put forests where they once would have been, etc.
Then I want to put that in one of my fantasy worlds/maps/whatever and eventually build settlements there.
My *dilemma* is that I don't know if, starting with that tracing, what I want to do is allowed/legal/acceptable/appropriate/whatever.
Cause I don't know what the rules are with mapping
So... yea or nay?
Well as you are going to create your own drawing from the trace of the island, I can't see anything wrong with it. As long as you don't use the google image in the map, which you aren't, then nothing wrong with it. Should look quite interesting.
I can't think of any reason that would be wrong so… yea!
Okay, thanks guys I just wanted to make sure it wasn't like... cheating :p
I'm absolutely not an expert in law (especially in other countries), but I can't see any problem in your project. On the contrary, that seems to be a good idea
Besides, if I recall well, Google is largely using satellite data passed in the public domain (because "enough old" to be consider like this), as a lot of things in the big US agencies (meteorology, astronomy, USGS... and that's of good use for us!).
Both pictures does not look like the same place at all!
What Vivi said and this: Copying the image of Google is problematic but not a drawing based on the image. As far as I know, landform are not subject to copyrights

You can't take it with you, so you might as well drink it down by the dram. Lyle Shellenberg made a special trip to Hillsdale Liquor in Portland, Oregon to make one extravagant purchase.
KPTV reports that Shellenberg purchased a 50-year-old bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch whisky at a price of $27,000, making him one of only 50 people in the world - and six in the United States - to own this special release.
The bottle arrived at the liquor store in a locked leather case, and Shellenberg plans to crack it eventually as a special event to share with his family. "But then there comes a time," he told KPTV, "The seal's going to be broken and opened because I just have to know what it tastes like."
If you had $27,000 to spend specifically on food or booze, how would you do it? Go nuts in the comments below.
