Cincinnati Art Museum's Rifle Firing Set for Monday
The firing of a high-powered rifle inside the Cincinnati Art Museum, sending a bullet past masterpieces through the first-floor Schmidlapp Gallery and into a block of bronze in the middle of the Great Hall, will occur on Monday, museum officials said. Todd Pavlisko, the New York-based, locally born artist who proposed the project, will be at the museum Friday for final planning and discussions. (CityBeat will interview him for a story in next week's Big Picture column.) The museum has refused to allow press — or the public — to witness the actual event, for security concerns, according to Director Aaron Betsky. It also won't say what time it will occur. The male sharpshooter who will fire the high-powered rifle from a mounted stand also doesn't want to be identified. The museum normally is closed to the public on Monday. A spokeswoman said the museum will be on "lockdown" for the event. Those who will attend the actual shooting include the artist and the sharpshooter, Betsky and Chief Curator James Crump and several others. A Cincinnati police officer also will be present, a requirement of the City Council ordinance permitting the event. According to an earlier press release, which did not set a specific date for the actual rifle shot, Pavlisko's project is an outgrowth of his work with photography and video. This will reference the work of Harold Edgerton, whose photographs capturing bullets passing through fruit and droplets of milk have become masterpieces for making visible that which the naked eye could not see. Pavlisko's idea is to contrast the flight of the bullet with the timeless nature of the masterpieces on display in the Schmidlapp Gallery. (The bullet will be 12 feet from any actual artwork.) High-speed cameras and video equipment will document the shot, and the resultant work will be on display May 25-Sept. 22 in a show called Crown. So, too, will the 36-inch cast brass cube, or what remains of it, as the bullet strikes it.

Stage Door: Blue Man Group
My first and foremost recommendation for the weekend is Blue Man Group. (Review here.) It's a performance experience unlike much of anything else you've probably ever experienced in a theater — raucous music, zany humor, eye-popping technology and infectiously fun engagement with the audience. Amazingly, it's done without spoken words — the guys mime (well, kind of, it's actually more like they're mute in the style of Harpo Marx, with a lot of staring and double-takes), although they're backed up by awesome video that does offer some instruction (and laughs) for the literate. As I've said before, it's hard to describe but easy to enjoy. This is Blue Man Group's first time in Cincinnati, presented by Broadway Across America; the Aronoff Center might never be the same. (Through Oct. 28) Box office: 800-982-2787. Last night I enjoyed opening night for the thoroughly authentic and charming production of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. It's the story of a Jewish family in Brooklyn in the 1930s, but thanks to Simon's witty, heartfelt recollections of his own youth, it has a feeling of universality. The narrator is Eugene Morris Jerome (who's a stand-in for Simon himself), and actor Ryan DeLuca conveys the joys and pangs of adolescence and puberty with feeling and hilarity. He frequently addresses the audience about his interactions with his grouchy parents and his woebegon aunt, his worldly brother, his pampered cousins — he's documenting them for something he'll write when he's older, a novel or perhaps a play! And that play is the one onstage at the Playhouse, the first Neil Simon script ever presented there in more than 50 seasons. (Through Nov. 10.) Box office: 513-421-3888. Continuing productions of the comedy Mrs. Mannerly at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati (513-421-3555) and Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo & Juliet at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company (513-381-2273, x1) have been positively reviewed and appreciated by audiences. This weekend also marks the opening of Cincy Shakes' staging of Shakespeare's bloody history of the Roman emperor Titus Andronicus, staged with tongue in cheek (and in a pie) for the Halloween season. It happens on the nights when the R&J cast takes a breather. You might also consider two special events: New Edgecliff Theatre's annual one-night fundraiser, Sweet Suspense Theatre, a presentation in the style of a radio play, happens on Saturday evening. This year the production, a new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's story of The Canterville Ghost, is being presented at the Cincinnati Art Museum — and includes an extended intermission with lots of goodies from local bakeries and restaurants. (Tickets: 888-588-0177). You might also want to check in with the Playhouse about ticket availability for Post Secret on Monday evening; the one-night presentation of a piece based on an anonymous "true confessions" website is rumored to be sold out, but there might be a waiting list if you call the box office. (513-421-3888)
Mrs. Mannerly (Review)
Irrevent humor anchors ETC's Dale Hodges as straight-laced etiquette teacher

Silverware — and napkin folding and thank-you-card writing — are major topics of conversations in Jeffrey Hatcher's semi-autobiographical Mrs. Mannerly, but the play is never dull or dry. Who knew place settings could be so entertaining?

Stage Door: Too Many Options
You have no excuse for complaining that there's not enough theater in the days ahead. In fact, you'll have a hard time fitting it all in. Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati's regional premiere of Mrs. Mannerly opened a few days ago: It's a comedy about growing up in small-town Ohio under the watchful (perhaps oppressive) eye of a strict etiquette teacher. Jeffrey Hatcher's play (largely based on his own experience in 1967) features one of Cincinnati's best actresses, Dale Hodges, in the title role. And the production has been staged by Ed Stern, recently retired after 20 years as producing artistic director at the Cincinnati Playhouse. Box Office: 513-421-3555. Cincinnati Shakespeare is producing Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo & Juliet, featuring a pair of actors — Sara Clark and Ian Bond — who had great chemistry in recent productions of Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility. They will bring new life a familiar work, I'm sure. The production opens Friday; bear in mind that Cincy Shakes has been selling out its productions this season, so catching this one before it catches on with the larger audience might be a good idea. Box Office: 513-381-2273 x1. For entertainment of an entirely different stripe, I suggest you check out The Beggar's Carnivale on Friday and Saturday evenings (9 p.m.) at Know Theatre. This variety show has been described as "Cirque du Soleil on a whiskey bender." It includes elements of traiditonal circus arts, gypsy folk and Rock & Roll. You'll witness a fast-paced spectacle with several acts linked by interludes in the style of silent film. There's live music, too, by their house band The Royal We and the Carnivale's personal DJ. Sounds like an evening of unusual entertainment. Box Office: 513-300-5669. For the stay-at-homes, you might sample Lost in Yonkers on WVXU's broadcast of L.A. Theatre Works, Saturday evening at 8 p.m. on FM 91.7. This great nostalgic play by Neil Simon is part of an autobiographical trilogy; the Cincinnati Playhouse is producing Brighton Beach Memoirs, another from this set, a few weeks from now. On Sunday evening at 8 p.m. WVXU will air The Moth, a collection of monologues by everyday people, sharing anecdotes of things that actually happened to them. It's the inspiration for our local company True Theatre, which opens its third season on Monday evening (7:30 p.m.) with trueLearning at Know Theatre. Finally, to keep you occupied next week, CCM Drama is offering a week of free, unticketed readings of gay-themed plays. On Monday it's Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart (1985); Tuesday and Wednesday offer Tony Kushner's 1993 award-winning Angels in America, Part 1: Millennium Approaches and Part 2: Perestroika. Thursday evening it's Stephen Karam's Sons of the Prophet (2011). All readings are at 7 p.m. in the Corbett Center's Room 4755 at the University of Cincinnati. On Friday evening, Dr. Richard Coons will moderate a conversation about "Storytellers, History Makers and Revolutionaries: The LGBT Story." A clinical psychologist, Coons is a CCM Drama grad; in 1998 and 1999 he played the central role of Prior Walter in CCM's local premiere of Kushner's Angels in America. (Also free, this event will be in Patricia Corbett Theatre on the UC campus.)

Stage Door: 'Through the Night,' CCM, NKU and the Carnegie
Your best bet for theater this weekend, based on several enthusiastic recommendations, seems to be Daniel Beaty's one-man performance at the Cincinnati Playhouse in Through the Night. Harper Lee gave it a Critic's Pick in her CityBeat review this week, and the League of Cincinnati Theatres panel described Beaty as a "brilliant showman and interpreter" whose "beautifully and powerfully acted" performance "weaved in, out and through real people — multifaceted people." The show was praised as "moving and full of hope — an evening of pure joy, celebration and a mournful reminder as well." Through the Night "shatters the stereotypes of the 'African American' plight and shows beautifully that these predicaments and life choices are 'human' ones." I caught a performance this week and found Beaty's ability to shift from character to character quite astonishing — he plays six men and boys, as well as numerous other figures in their lives, each well defined and believable. It's a tour de force performance in the Shelterhouse, presented simply with some projected images and nothing more, not even costume changes. Box office: 513-421-3888. College theater has good choices for you at both UC's College-Conservatory of Music and Northern Kentucky University. Each is presenting a classic, although from very different eras. NKU continues its run of You Can't Take It With You (through Sunday), a classic comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that won a Pulitzer Prize back in 1937. It's about a wacky family that marches to the beat of several different drummers and how their "normal" daughter and her boyfriend (the product of truly straitlaced parents) try to figure out how to make a relationship work in the midst of a lot of craziness. At CCM there's another form of craziness in Michael Burnham's staging of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, a tale of mistaken lovers and magical transformations. In both cases, there's a happy ending and most of the right people end up with suitable partners. Both shows are sure to offer offer a lot of laughs, as well as plenty of opportunities for young actors to take on entertaining roles. Either show should make for a fun outing that doesn't require much serious thought. CCM Box Office: 513-556-4183; NKU Box Office: 859-572-5464. Finally, on Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. you have a very special opportunity to see a brand-new musical as a work-in-progress at the Carnegie Center in Covington. It's a one-night-only presentation of The Sandman, a creepy musical created by Cincinnati native and Cirque du Soleil maestro Richard Oberacker and his creative partner Robert Taylor. Using a wildly imaginative story by E.T.A. Hoffmann (the guy who wrote the wildly imaginative story of battling mice and toys coming to life that became The Nutcracker), Oberacker and Taylor have crafted a show that's getting a workshop locally with some serious star power. Narrated by Van Ackerman (who turned in a great performance as the Man in the Chair in CMT's recent production of The Drowsy Chaperone), the performance will feature Tony nominee (and early CCM grad) Pamela Myers, always watchable Bruce Cromer (fresh off his powerful turn as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird at Cincy Shakes), Charlie Clark and Sara Mackie. While it's a "reading," it will have sound effects and some slide projections to set the eerie scene. You can call 859-957-1940 for tickets, or order them online at www.thecarnegie.com. General admission is $25 (theater professionals and students can get in for $15). Sounds like a don't miss event.

Cincinnati Arts Ambassador Fellowships Finalists Announced
Twelve finalists to compete for seven $6,000 grants
After a long-established program that provided grants to individual artists was cut in 2009, City Council voted to re-instate and improve the program in an effort to show that Cincinnati is an art friendly city and to encourage artists to live and work here. Under the old system, grants of $3,000-$5,000 were awarded to local artists. Now, the Cincinnati Arts Ambassador Fellowship Committee will provide more impactful grants of $6,000 to seven different artists. The process kicked off at the beginning of the year when artists were invited to submit a letter and resume to City Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan before Jan. 15. The invitation was open to artists of all different disciplines but they had to be residents of Cincinnati throughout the program (July 1, 2012-May 31, 2013). After more than 100 applications applied, twelve finalists were announced on Tuesday. "We were blown away at the number of applications," Todd Wurzbacher, Chair of the Cincinnati Arts Allocation Committee, said in a press release. He presented the list of finalists in Quinlivan's Strategic Growth Committee today. The twelve finalists are Jesse Mooney-Bullock, Tatiana Berman, Pam Kravetz, Karen Heyl, Melissa Godoy, Guy Michael Davis, Tonya Matthews, Terri Kern, Casey Riordan Millard, Brad Austin Smith, Rondle West and Nathaniel Chaitkin. The finalists will be interviewed by the Cincinnati Arts Allocation Committee members, who will then choose the final seven artists to receive awards. The final awards will be given to seven artists on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 11:30 a.m. on the steps of City Hall. "I'm excited we have visual artists, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, and even a puppeteer in our finalists," Quinlivan said in a press release. Quinlivan got council support to create the CAAF program. "More than 125 Cincinnati artists applied for the newly created Arts Ambassador Fellowship, proof that Cincinnati is a strong arts city," she said.

Stage Door: Shark Eat Muffin and Playhouse
OK, so it's MidPoint weekend and I know you're busy running from bar to bar and band to band, but variety is the spice of life, right? So wouldn't you enjoy it all the more if you took in a show, just to break up the monotony of all that great music? Here are a couple of theatrical ideas. Shark Eat Muffin is a new Cincinnati theater company — with a name that sounds like a band! They're breaking onto our local theater scene with three short plays they're calling Just Beyond Reach. For one ticket ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) you'll get into Newport's Monmouth Theatre (636 Monmouth St.) to see Abbie Doyle's It's a Real Shame, David H. Hughes Acapulco and Catie O'Keefe's The Noise Maker. This is mostly young talent, so it's your chance to catch the theater equivalent of the up-and-coming Midpoint bands: Doyle is a senior at McAuley High School, Hughes is a recent UC theater arts grad and O'Keefe is New Edgecliff Theatre's young playwright-in-residence (and Shark Eat Muffin's artistic director). Their scripts are derived from the theme of "just beyond reach," one of several suggestions posted on the company's Facebook page two months ago. Sounds like fun: performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets: www.sharkeatmuffin.com. The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park just opened its first Shelterhouse production of the season, Daniel Beaty's Through the Night. It's a one-man show that Beaty wrote and performs — it's already won an Obie Award in New York City (that's "OB" as in Off-Broadway). He plays six African-American males whose lives intertwine during the course of one night. It's an exploration of the place of such men in America today, especially how they influence one another. I chatted with Beaty about his play in my CityBeat column this week, and I expect this to be a thought-provoking performance. Box office: 513-421-3888. If you want something more tried-and-true, head to the Northern Kentucky University campus for You Can't Take It With You, a Pulitzer Prize winning comedy from 1937. It's about the wacky but endearing Sycamore family and the oddball characters who fill their lives. It's truly a comic masterpiece, with lots of opportunity for actors to make their mark. Box office: 859-572-5464.

'Mormons' Are Coming to the Aronoff
Broadway Across America to produce Trey Parker and Matt Stone musical
The Mormons are coming! The Mormons are coming! No, not the one running for president (although he's showing up pretty often). It's the award-winning irreverent musical The Book of Mormon, which Broadway Across America announced this morning will be part of its 2013-2014 season at the Aronoff Center. The winner of nine Tony Awards (including the best musical of 2011) is a satirical look at two naive and idealistic Mormon missionaries who are sent to a remote Ugandan location where a nasty warlord is oppressing the villagers. Their clueless devotion, good-hearted but misguided — with a lot of very off-color humor — has made The Book of Mormon an unusual hit.It will come as no surprise to CityBeat readers that the guys behind this are Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of animated South Park, another outrageously irreverent look at contemporary life. Also involved was composer Robert Lopez, whose Avenue Q was another Broadway hit, this one featuring Sesame Street-styled puppets in very adult situations.The Book of Mormon has been a big Broadway hit. It will be interesting to see how it plays at the Aronoff Center for audiences that tend to be very mainstream, if not downright conservative in what they'll line up to see. I'm eager to see this one! Broadway Across America has not announced specific dates for the engagement yet.

Scott Robinson took the road less traveled to the market, Restaurant Marché on Bainbridge Island, that is. After working at the catering kitchen at Washington State University, Rover's, and at Crush for three years, Robinson backpacked around Thailand before starting his job as sous chef at Restaurant Marché. Back in his culinary school days, he returned from a shift at the restaurant at 2 a.m. and read Marco Pierre White's books until 5 a.m., sleeping only two hours before waking up for class the next day. The energetic and fact-paced Robinson also admits to reading every single one of Greg Atkinson's books before starting as his sous chef.
Tiffany Ran
Robinson: It was a mix of both. I was kind of planning on going to Thailand or going to try and work at Noma. My older brother was traveling and he said, "Meet me at Bangkok." I kind of figured I'd either be really broke working at Noma, having a good time but not really living, or hang out with my brother and live in Thailand for a month. So I went to Thailand, and hung out with my older brother, and ate a bunch of food. I brought some knives. So we'd find kitchens to cook in, places to hang out, locals to eat with, and it was a lot of fun. In 12 days, I moved my entire house, put everything into storage, and moved to Thailand.
Were you able to cook while you were there?
On Christmas Eve, we went shopping and went to markets, got these random things, and bought these chickens from this really weird supermarket that we found. We cooked ourselves a Christmas dinner. We did mash potatoes and gravy, and cabbage, and all this stuff. We had these British people we were hanging out with and we cooked them a full blown American dinner. We had these Thai people who were hanging out in the kitchen who never had gravy or mash potatoes, so they were astounded by what we were doing. And we did this all in a wok. It was great. It was so much fun.
Did you know Greg Atkinson before you interviewed with him?
I went to school at Seattle Central and he was my third culinary instructor. I interviewed with him prior to leaving for Thailand, so I knew when I left that I would be coming back to work for Restaurant Marché.
How would you describe Marché's food?
The techniques are very French and the cuisine is mostly Northwest. A lot of the dishes have the classic French influences. We have dishes like trout meuniere, moules frites, steak frites and gnocchi parisienne. We have these dishes, but we're kind of refining them. Chef has this sabayon for these oysters that we put in canisters and chargers.
We have that immersion circulator but we don't really use it because we're still developing other things. We have a Sous Vide Supreme that we do for our Salade Lyonnaise, but we primarily just do eggs in it. We hold eggs at 140 degrees and it holds the yolks so that they're still liquid.
Have you had a lot of experience with these machines?
When I was at Crush for three years, they were very heavily modernist so we did sous vide on a lot of the products. I think we were one of the first to get sous vide certified in the city. So we brought in like ten health inspectors and showed them the entire process and got our HACCP plan written up. So I worked a lot with that over there. I think we're a lot of more ingredient based rather than modernist. So we source a lot of our meats from Skagit River [Ranch] or from all the farmers on the island.
How has this job been different, and how have you adapted?
How has this job been different, and how have you adapted?
I moved to an island which is entirely different from the city. Our regulars are amazing, they're such amazing people. We have a wood fire grill, which I've never worked with, so it's learning how to work a wood fire grill, knowing how much wood you need. A week ago, Chef [Atkinson] had split a bunch of wood from the backyard of his house, which burned a lot slower because it was fresher as opposed to getting the wood from Charlie's [Produce]. We have a rational convection oven, which I've never used before, so it's really about learning about all the tools and techniques. There's also designing the line to work in how we like it to be organized, or getting speed rails to hang tickets, or just moving plates to different places. It's funny because you spend so much time moving things around and people are like, "Oh, it's so organized," and we're like, "But we can do so much more!"
It's kind of interesting living on an island because if you're in Seattle and you need Corfini [Gourmet], you can just stop by the company any day. But here, you have to plan your ordering because Corfini comes on Tuesdays and Fridays and Charlie's [Produce] comes on Tuesdays and Saturdays. So you have these windows where you need to get your product. It's this whole other game where you have to order this on Wednesday or "Oh yeah, I have to order this on Friday." It's crazy because they don't just come whenever you want them to. You have to work your way around their schedules.
So you've read all of Greg Atkinson's books, which one is your favorite?
So you've read all of Greg Atkinson's books, which one is your favorite?
"At the Kitchen Table" is amazing. I love his philosophy behind it. And I like "In Seasons: Culinary Adventures of a San Juan Island Chef", which is one of his first ones because the picture on the back is him without a mustache when he was like my age holding a box of chanterelles. It's really cool.
I just like the way he writes and how every recipe is tied to his philosophy. Every recipe has a reason and is tied to like, 'my grandmother,' or that every recipe has his philosophy. It's not just a production of food, it's like a reality of why we produce food.
Do you think that reading his books has helped put you on the same page with him, understanding more what he wants and how he wants things done?
I think we were always on the same page. When he was my teacher, I felt like we just vibed really well. We were just the same. I felt like I'm just a younger version of Chef Greg, which is brilliant. We both have the same philosophy on food and how we want things done. It's just more of the reality that we do it because want people to have a great time. We do it because we want to nurture people, and not just cooking to cook. It's my life. I don't just do it because I want to make money. I do it because I truly enjoy being in the kitchen.

Mark Hertzberg provides your essential reading for today
Monona Terrace in the Wisconsin State Journal/
The Wisconsin State Journal has a perfunctory article on the Monona Terrace, the controversial convention/civic center in Madison that Wright had begun to design before his death and was completed in the late 1990s. The article ends at Wright's death -- leaving nearly all of the story untold. But it does include links to PDFs of two newspaper pages that are worth a look: the front page of the Journal on the day after Wright's death and an article from 1941 on Wright's early plans and drawings for the civic center.
Definitely Worth your time.
July 5, 2012/
Organizers call this "the hard ask".
Sean Malone to Leave in Early 2016/
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is beginning the search for a new CEO. Sean Malone, in the position since 2012 will be leaving at the end of his current two-year contract.
Jeff Grip, vice chairman of the foundation and search committee chairman, listed among Malone's achievements during his tenure a mastery for fundraising and making people care about Taliesin West. The foundation's annual fundraising is about $1 million, almost triple the foundation's previous annual fundraising amount, Grip said.
"He's pretty unusual in the world of non-profit leadership," Grip said. "Given the restoration needs at both Taliesin and Taliesin West, I think that skill set is going to be front and center for the search committee."
Malone has made a number of dramatic changes to the organization: begining the move to independance for the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture (controvsial, but needed to retain accredidation), negotiating the deal to protect and secure the archives with partnership with Columbia University and the Museum of Modern Art. He also energized fundraising, tripling the amount raised.
A new Frank Lloyd Wright house has been discovered in Shorewood (as suburb of Milwaukee) Wisconsin. Built in 1917, its an example of one of the American System-Built Homes, a collaboration between Wright and builder Arthur Richards. Buyers could choose between seven standardized models and the Richards Company provided all of the needed pre-cut lumber and the approved contractors to built the house.
The house was discovered by Richard G. Johnson (you can read the full story here) and confirmed by Mark Lilek, Curator of American System-Built Home (and it's not confirmed, but confirmed -- seriously, read the full story).
The interior of the house has been unaltered and well-preserved. The exterior has had some alterations but it still recognizably Wright.
There's a nice gallery of photos at the above link.
Bachman-Wilson on CBS Sunday Morning/
Sunday, May 31 the Bachman-Wilson House will be featured on CBS Sunday Morning. The show generally airs at 8AM, though you should check your local listings.
Rent a Sullivan/
I suspect that most of my readers cannot afford the $1 million + price of a Wright-designed house (if this suspicion is wrong, let me know -- I'll reconsider my lack of a donation button on this site) but if you can swing $2,275 a month, you can live in a Louis Sullivan building (technically, live behind a Sullivan-designed facade).
There's an apartment available in the former Karuse Music Store on Lincoln Ave. in Chicago.
The building was restored in 2007. About the facade, Blair Kamin wrote:
Sullivan gave it this oomph with a deeply recessed entry and, above, an explosion of ornament -- an oversize, key-shaped decoration, complete with the letter "K," which stood for the patron, William Krause. The balance of horizontals and verticals is every bit as effective as at Sullivan's old Carson Pirie Scott & Co. store at State and Madison Streets, but here it bursts beyond the building's frame, as if Sullivan, who late in his career was restricted to small-scale commissions such as small-town banks, could not contain himself.
Millard House (I) For Sale/
The George Millard House in Highland Park, Illinois has returned to the real estate market (it has been listed off and on for four years) with a new price: $799,000.
The house sits on 2/3 of an acre, has four bedrooms and 68 original art glass windows. It was built for bookseller George Millard. Millard would move to Pasadena, California two years after the completion of the house, where his wife would commission another house from Wright, La Miniatura.

Lawrence Technoloical University --owner of Wright's Affleck House -- in Southfield, Michigan is hosting a birthday celebration for Frank Lloyd Wright that features tours of three Wright houses in the metro-Detroit area -- the Affleck House, Turkel House and Melvyn Smith House. The tour is June 7, begins at 11:30AM and costs $125 per person. transportation by luxury motorcoach is provided; the tour of each house are guided. It is limited to 150 participants. The tours are followed by hors d'euvres and birthday cake. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the restoration of the Affleck House.
All three houses are Usonian, though the Turkel House is a rare example of a two-story Usonian. The Turkel House --currently undergoing a thorough restoration -- is a private home and generally open for tours. The Smith House is owned by a foundation established by its original owners and is open occasionally. The Lawrence Tech-owned Affleck house is open for tours from April to November.
Henderson House for Sale/
I think I've got a new favorite Frank Lloyd Wright house.
The Henderson House is on the market for $995,000.
Built in 1901, the house is an excellent example of all the best features of the Prairie Style. Across the street is Walter Burley Griffin's first house. The house has been restored in recent years.
Here is a page with photos of the interior of the house taken soon after construction was complete and some of the earliest surviving photos of the exterior.

Five bedrroms, five baths, $2.1 million.
David Wright House -- In the News Again/
The David & Gladys Wright House -- designed by Wright for his son in 1952 -- is a dramatic precursor to the Guggenheim Museum; it's one of Wright's most interesting, innovative works. Just a few years ago, it was saved from two bozos who planned to demolish it and replace it with two suburban houses. It was saved from destruction by Zach Rawling, who purchased it for more than two million dollars and has spent more money to restore the house to its 1952 appearance and he bought two neighboring houses, razed them, and is recreating the landscape around the house to Wrignt's original plan. His plan is to turn the house into a museum and educational site.
Some of the residents of the neighborhood feel that the plans for the house -- plans that include small scale cultural events and hosting for private affairs like weddings -- will be an intrusive commercialization of their neighborhood. AZCentral has an excellent article on the history of house, the restoration and the plans for its future use.

We're designing a new pair of player characters right now. We also have a new professor, and you'll be seeing art for him sooner than you think. xD As PP said, the current OW is a placeholder.

In which case, I'll share an idea I had - make them a double battle. Since you can't use a Poké Ball unless there's just one opponent (for some reason), the player will have to choose which one to go for. You could perhaps make the other one available later on in the game, if you didn't want to do a "pick one fossil, lose the other" kind of thing. I'm not sure how the weather would work, though - perhaps make it a special battle and have both apply at once (maybe even only for themselves).
That's an interesting idea, and we'll certainly consider it. Thanks!
Well, as I said, we have a new professor. And I hope lx_theo won't mind me showing off his sprite, based on the
by shinyscyther of DeviantArt:
Professor Nelson Palm
Pokémon Professor for the Dinso region
Probably the most laid back professor ever to have graced the Pokéworld, Palm is a surfer-turned-scientist obsessed with the ocean. When he isn't poring over his beloved Carvanha farm, he's probably lying on the beach right by his lab, or catching the waves. While immensely likeable, his negligence has led to Dinso lagging behind with its technology. His starters are borrowed from his close friend, Birch, who encouraged him to study Pokémon originally, and he is frequently in contact with his uncle, Captain Briney.
lx appreciates criticism to help him improve, so feel free to comment on parts you like or don't like about the sprite itself. I'll have more reveals in the next few days :D

The Political Struggle over Reform
Having examined and established the structural incentives and political context for rural institutional change in Chapter 5, I follow up the story of reform and argue that the rise of rural reform in post-Mao China may best be viewed as the result of an interaction between state and peasant. That process--or, more appropriately, political struggle--was mediated by local and regional leaders and fundamentally conditioned by the incentive structures shaped by the catastrophic Great Leap Famine and the opening up of political space that followed Mao's death.
The importance of the famine in shaping post-Mao rural reforms is shown by the behavior of both elites and peasants. At the top, leaders such as Chen Yun and Deng Xiaoping promoted a sequence of policies that harked back to the adjustment policies of the early 1960's for reviving China's stagnant rural economy. Chapter 4 already mentioned that in late 1978 Chen Yun and others called for increasing grain imports--a measure that was similar to what had been done in the early 1960's and that was constrained by the famine's long-term effect on the agricultural structure. This chapter starts with the historic Third Plenum of 1978. This plenum produced an important decision on rural policy that the Chinese have referred to as the New Sixty Articles, and it was indeed fashioned after the earlier ones that were drawn up during the famine under Mao's supervision.
Peasants and cadres in those provinces that had suffered most from the famine had deep memories of it and were more likely to pursue liberal

Follow the Lines by enunezWatch
©2007-2016 enunez
I went to this beach named Shark Tooth Beach to try out my new wide angle lens Nikkor 12-24mm. Not the best weather, but I tried to make the best of it. Hope you like it!
The last time i was on this beach it was completely Trashed form a Storm.. but it was Still amazing! Great Shot!
Great shot, the lines are so subtle but so effective. Without even thinking about it I looked straight at the cliffs!
very good!!
That is breath taking!!!
Nice shot
Very nice black and white!!
Love the motion and simplicity
Amazing picture
oh wow there's really a sense of motion in this pic! i love the contrast and framing too
Awesome shot, love the slow effect.
This works so well, I'm dizzy! Amazing perspective.
Great photo, the lines worked really well, and I like the texture on the rocks. I agree with the comments above, maybe a vignette would help draw you in a bit. Nice photo, all the same!
How long was this exposed for?
I forgot to ask. =]
I forgot to ask. =]
Here is exposure information:
ISO100 2.5secs @ f/16 12mm
ISO100 2.5secs @ f/16 12mm
Thanks for the comment, and fave!
Handsome photo!
you only have a few pics but they are all top notch!
Thanks, I just joined around 2 weeks, I'll be adding more pictures, as I get time. Thanks for your comment.
I wanted to comment on this earlier but I was busy. Great place! I'd have a field day there! I think the rocks look a little flat (same greys right across). I'd darken up some of the sides with the PS burn tool. That would make them pop out a little. Very nice photo. Great exposure. Love the lines sweeping in to the sea. Easy
Thanks for your comment/critique, I really value it. I had been playing with the photo and I just updated it. I really love your black and whites images, and you gave me inspiration to try a bit more on the photo. Let me know what you think of it now.

Better. The blacks are blacker and the rocks pop out more. Did you try vignetting it as well? It doesn't always help and may not here. Just wondering. I'm a fan, I tend to over do it though!
Thanks, I really appreciate your insight into your techniques, as I really love what you get in the black & White images you present. I usually do vignetting by adding a overlay 50% gray layer in PS, and then just going with the Filter->Distort->Lens Correction, and playing with vignetting there. Do you use a particular method, or just regular burning the corners?
Thanks again, for your help.
Thanks again, for your help.
I use the lasso tool to crete a round edged square inside the picture. I then right click and feather to 200px. Right click again, select inverse. With the selection still on screen, add a new adjustment layer - curves. I then drag the curve down - darkening the outer edges gradually. There are probably many many ways of doing the same thing.
very nice Edward!

380 Millard Fillmore Academic Center Ellicott Complex
North Campus University at Buffalo, SUNY
Buffalo, NY 14261
Conference Organizer: Dr. James Osborne
The building of sculpted monuments and monumental architecture seems to be a universal human trait at all levels of social complexity and in all parts of the world, from the grand pyramids of ancient Egypt to the modest inuksuit cairns of the Inuit. Unfortunately, the words "monumental" and "monumentality" as used by scholars have different meaning and intent in nearly every work in which they appear. This symposium seeks to clarify just what we mean by "monumentality," but more than that, to understand the social and political significance of monumentality as it was manifested in various ways around the world. The primary purpose of the symposium is to study the role of sculpted monuments and public buildings in the creation and maintenance of political and social discourses, and to evaluate how monuments were received and understood by human actors. Approaching Monumentality brings together archaeologists, art historians, epigraphers, historians, and architects whose areas of expertise span from the Neolithic to the Classical era, and from Europe and the Mediterranean basin to the New World. In this way we will be able to explore monumentality both as a general human phenomenon as well as in its rich and varied particular social contexts.

PS: don't worry yaar nishu. i'm sure everything will turn out to be fine. i'm also getting all frantic as AnDi's birthday approaches. oh.. i've asked members of other forums to also send in bdae msgs for anand.
these awards are frustrating. they give awards to divyanka, sharad, jay & prachi desai all of whom are newcomers but don't give it to anand who's been in the industry longer than all of them put together.

hmmm..humbleness personified? other than anand, i can only give that title to divyanka.
i think the main problem with these jury members is that mamta isn't a primetime show nor are the actors very popular or well-recognised.
it's also unfair cos these actors are also every bit as taletend if not more than those actors doing soaps in the primetime slots. it's truly a crime not to recognise an actor like anand. idiots!

I recently got an old computer withount an OS and am looking for a free one. I know that linux is one, but I can't find a download site for it . If anybody can help, please do.
CNET's Forum on Linux is the best source for finding help or getting troubleshooting advice from a community of experts. Discussions cover Linux installation, Ubuntu, Linux distributions, open source, dual-booting Windows and Linux, Fedora Core, SuSE, CentOS, Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other Linux-related questions.
I recently got an old computer withount an OS and am looking for a free one. I know that linux is one, but I can't find a download site for it . If anybody can help, please do.
It's about 10 bucks on sale, CDRW will run 10 to 20 bucks.
FTP or WEB install may be one method if you refuse to have a proper machine, so here's how. No, I can't tell you if it will work for you.
Read http://www.computing.net/linux/wwwboard/forum/25205.html
Looks to me that your machine isn't ready for linux.
I have seven, but I opened up the case and the cable had two plug thingies on it. one was really weird and only fit into the motherboard, the only other was for the HD. and no, there wasn't another socket on the motherboard for another cable.
So I have 2 options:
1. a CD drive and no Hard drive
2. a Hard drive and no CD drive.
You've neglected the forum tip and the result is evident.
If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution."
No where have you detailed what that machine is.
I would like to help you more, but you have to work at this too.
If the other (hard drive) end of that cable has 50 pins, then you have a Sun based SCSI system. Enjoy the frustration.
Google it
See second mention in particular
PDF about older SCSI systems, cables, configurations
While it seems everyone wants this to be easy, it is possible to get a custome mother board with a non-standard header. PC standardization happened around the Pentium timeframe, so you could find all sorts of alien boards back on 486 systems. Your controller may not even be able to control a slave device at all or have the cable capabilities of indicating a slave device off the same cable run. The prices of buying the extra parts these days will be far outweighed by the fact that the system isn't worth the money you would have to put into it.
If you want a good basic Linux to run on this and it has a network card, try Slackware, it was the original floppy based distribution (well this isn't really true, SLS came before it and there were other base level floppy distros but Slack survived the times) and it still has a floppy option for installing the basic tools.
There are also tiny distros that can be used to bootstrap another distro but it still needs networking for this to work. One of the issues you are likely to find though is poor or non-existent support for you network device and hard to configure support at that. I have limited myself to Pentium based systems with PCI cards only. ISA was torture and when I finally could afford to no longer have ISA systems around I was a very happy camper.
I was reading this forum. I couldnt help but want to ask what bob did. What kind of processor do you have? Is it even possible to hook up a 15 pin, 3rows color monitor already? By this I mean, Right now without adding an adapter board. If not, I think I think you could invest 10 dollars somewhere and get a pentium one already equipped with these things. Because if it is not equipped with these things already. It is probably a 486 or lower and not worth the time.
I've read your whole thread and just by chance I was just reading up on Linux today as I am a newbie to it as well.
They say Red Hat Fedora is the best distribution for beginners. here's what they recommend for the box:
* 450 MHz Pentium III
* 2 GB hard drive space
here's the main page (click)
hope you get a hold of a decent CDRW and/or HD. and get it up and running.....
I'm right behind you !
Not sure who they are, but I disagree. I have had Red Hat 9 for over a year, Fedora Core 1(Red Hat 10) for about 6 months. Bought both retail. They were both okay. Kept running into problems with programs, and especially hardware, needing something else to work. Find that , and it needed something else. Never ending. I'm talking about this as someone who was( and is ) trying to learn Linux, not as someone who has been using Unix for years. Anyway, I tried Mandrake 10 on a download(you'll need Broadband) and have been impressed. Later versions of programs and hardware supported. I would highly recommend this distro to a newbie. You are still have to do your homework, but with less hassles. For what it's worth.
You will be looking at distros that are very small. 16Meg is the death call for it running any modern distro.
Maybe you should just get a LOAF? (Linux on a floppy) and use that?
You don't want to know I tossed an i200mmx with 64M and some CDROM, HD in the trash bin last week. You can't give them away here. Have you considered looking for another machine?
Mandrake 10 would take 1500 floppies. As Robert(Bob) said, the computer you are using is 256mb short of memory
to successfully run any modern Operating System from either Windows or Linux. That is "successfully", not bare minimum. Sorry. Try using an OS you boot from disc instead of installing. Good luck. chuck
hehehe :D....yeah I was going to say"floppys ?........I think Bob meant to say "discs".

Kevin E. Grant
Okay. Good morning, everybody. Thanks Stephen and thanks to Deutsche Bank. For those listening to the webcast, this presentation we've got here in New York is just filed in an 8-K this morning. So if you like to follow along, please pull it down from our website or the SEC and have a look.
I will spend a couple of minutes going through this deck and I really want to leave a lot of time for questions with Stephen and you all. So as Stephen mentioned, we are an agency mortgage REIT and we formed the company in 2006 and raised our first capital then and the company was private until 2009 and we brought it public in 2009.
So we've been public almost four years now. So we've got a lot of history and of course we started this company just before the financial crises. So learning through that and that period of time was really I would say irreplaceable. So a very valuable experience for us especially being private.
The company was upscale or internally managed and we can really benefit from the sole nature of this business and you will see that in a moment. We have 47 lenders right now, so we move on borrow around pretty much at will and we diversify our counter party risk pretty significantly.
So here on page four, on the left side you've got that compound total return since we brought the company public. Now the company came public at '11 and yes, because of stock in this sector has been weak the past couple of weeks. So despite the weakness in stock price, you can see from the left side, that this you know, you generally return this business through distribution and that's really where the returns come from and if your only stock, you really have to understand that it's a very advantaged cost structure and the REIT structure basically causes us to pay out all our earnings in the form of dividend.
So if you reinvest those dividends which is what this compound total return shows, you are generating I think very attractive long term total returns. One thing that what people [pay] price graph, they forget about the $0.52 special dividend that we paid at the end of last year kind of glass over that, so if just look at the price and the stock, you really got to adjust for that $0.52 special dividend.
On the right side you see the expense ratio. We've got the expense ratio way down and as I mentioned it is a scale business. When we were first public, we were call it $200 million of capital and that's just very expensive expense structure at that size and these are public company expenses and it's just not -- it's not inexpensive to have one of these vehicles public. So our expense ratio now is below 100 basis points.
Let's just touch on the investing environment a bit. So as people who have followed us over the years, we have a lot of 15-year mortgages. We really like the 15-year structure. The short cash flows really are generally inside the five year part of the yield curve and we really like that. The stable cash flows really are a nice fit. The 15-year structure also has a benefit of not having the extension risk of a 30-year mortgage. So if rates go up, it just cannot get that long and what that does is that makes the hedging expense, the hedging problem, the calculus that much easier to solve. So we really like the 15-year market.
In the past several weeks, essentially the fed has I would describe it as preannounced, the end of quantitative even and what's uncertain is the pacing of that i.e. the taper, we call it operation taper, but effectively they've announced that whether it's six months or 12 months, the QE is likely to be over. Let's see what they say next week about that.
The market reacted very quickly and we will show you several graphs in here that will kind of demonstrate that. The 15-year market has cheapened a bit in the past couple of weeks. We see the net interest spread on a hedged strategy, that's the blue line in this graphs a little north of 120, which is better than we've had in prior quarters.
So here is a 30-year market. We said on the earnings call in April that we really like the 30-year market. There has been a very substantial cheapening in the 30-year market. The 30-year market is what the fed has been buying. So not surprisingly this is a market that would be the most sensitive to each hedging said policy and 30-year mortgages are now once again on a hedged basis as cheap as they've been probably in two years and given the supply picture there, we think this is a really good opportunity because the supply picture is pretty light for new supply.

Volcanes De Coronel Group
Nolvia has had her business for two years. She sells homemade jam and whole wheat bread, and recently started catering. Her aunt taught her to make jam and bread a long time ago. Nolvia also sells lunch to teachers during the school year, which helps her finances.
Nolvia's big challenge now is being able to firm up her dream of having all her catering supplies: dinnerware, silverware, nice tablecloths, and glassware. It's challenging because she has just begun and it's going fairly well for her.
Nolvia will use the money she's requesting to buy jam jars and everything she needs to firm up her catering plans.
What she likes most about participating in Fondo Esperanza is the meetings.
El dinero que solicita lo ocupará para comprar frascos para mermeladas y además todo lo necesario para concretar su sueño de banquetería. Lo que más le agrada de participar junto a Fondo Esperanza es el hecho de poder compartir en las reuniones.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan targets populations in financially underserved regions of Chile. Thanks to its numerous branches, Fondo Esperanza is present nationwide and offers loans to micro-entrepreneurs in a country known for its limited microfinance industry. This Kiva loan enables entrepreneurs to maintain their current businesses in areas where Fondo Esperanza is the only available and accessible financial institution.
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs. It utilizes a communal banking model in which groups of 18 to 25 clients meet on regularly and guarantee each other's loans. The members use their portion of the loan to create or expand their own businesses. In the group meetings, clients receive training though the FE Entrepreneurship School, which enhances clients' personal and business skills and ability to work in groups.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Members of Congress, particularly the Senate these days, express dire threats about the deficit. Many are intent on shredding the social safety net at every opportunity while limiting job growth assistance and contributing to loss of public sector jobs – to prevent adding to the dreaded monetary deficit. However, these same members of Congress seek ways to protect persons with the greatest wealth from carrying the "burden" of taxation – or contributing to the Common Good. As they fret about extending tax relief for middle- and lower-income households through extension of improvements to the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to benefit our future generations, they insist on limiting the contributions to federal revenue (taxes) by those whose income is gained by moving other people's money (carried interest).
I remind our legislators that there is also "human deficit" which has long term impacts not only on the individual, but on society.
"Poverty can impede children's ability to learn [2] and contribute to social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Poverty also can contribute to poor health [3] and mental health [4]. Risks are greatest for children who experience poverty when they are young [5] and/or experience deep and persistent poverty." -Columbia University, National Center for Children in Poverty http://www.nccp.org/topics/childpoverty.html [6]

So being "plumpy" I've been told this is one of the risks I face giving birth, They also said c-section risk comlications are high too.
So what do they want me to do? It sounds like they think I will need a c-section but when I said can't we try normally first to the OB she said that's a good idea. Yet my midwife says she wants to stay away from c-section all together. I guess we will talk about it more closer to the time (I'm 25 weeks today) but I just wondered if anyone had any inside info?
Has anyone experienced this shoulder thing? Is it actually more common when you're fluffy, or is it just one of the many things to be aware of?
