Tuck into rib-sticking renditions of the Korean staple, bibimbap: a layered dish of rice, spiced vegetables and meat topped with a fried egg.
Bright colours, Ikea-style furniture and walls plastered with Polaroid snaps of happy diners mark Bi Bim Bap as a youngsters' hangout. It's more suited to an after-work pit stop than a lingering meal; service is quick and the food filling. There are Korean beers and spirits to try as well.
As the name suggests, Bi Bim Bap's big draw is the stone-bowl rice dish of the same name – served in ten varieties. Classics include beef, chilli chicken, spicy pork or seafood, but veggies are well catered for too with tofu, mushroom, or brown rice, ginseng and gingko versions on offer. Some say the key to a good bibimbap is how well it's mixed together, and staff let you do the honours here (as well as adding your own koch'ujang and doenjang sauces). In our experience, the results have always been sound, with crisp rice at the bottom and a decent amount of toppings to blend through.
Other dishes, including fried noodles, jeon pancakes and salads, can be more of a mixed bag. The wrappers on our vegetable dumplings seemed more air-dried than crisp-fried, though the chilli-speckled dipping sauce had plenty of flavour.

Well-made and cheap for London! The place is nothing special as far as venue goes and it feels at times a bit fast-foody but the dishes are big, hearty and filling and go below the 8GBP.
Spicy pork is one of my favourites although the Beef Bool-Go-gi is also really nice. Make sure you add a raw egg on top and ask for brown rice, it is better!
The only downside to the place is that they take quite a few liberties timings wise. Last time, we went there at 9.30 at night and they had already closed despite the sign on the door said they closed at 10! They were already cleaning the floors and yet, they let us get in and enjoy a quick dinner.
Bi Bim Bap is the food of the gods, and here it's cheap, fresh and flavoursome.
Love the hot pots! Quick and easy, great for lunch when you don't have much time to wait.
Very good atmosphere and good food and pricing.
Not very good, rice is a bit soggy and the pot is not hot enough
Food was tasty but not out of this world, I expected more considering the queue and reviews. It's a good place to go if you're looking for fresh food whilst in Soho but don't go out of your way as you'll be disappointed.
I love this place. It's delicious and cheap! I've never had a bad meal. I would strongly recommend.
SImple menu, with great options. fast and friendly staff. great korean beer selection. Great for lunch or a pre-show dinner. Very cheap and and delicious - definitely recommended popping in! (just remember not to touch the bowl )
Friendly service, tasty food, good value if you want a quick meal while pasing through the area. Will go again.
Great food however service was slow, unfriendly and did not justify the 10% service charge which was automatically added to the bill. For wholesome Korean food on the go, Bi Bim Bap is great although for atmosphere and experience head elsewhere.
Great value, great toilets , vast menu one of the best Koreans in central London
This is a little gem of a restaurant in Soho! They do the best BiBimBap's - and they do takeaway which makes them a perfect workday lunch venue. The food is healthy, delicious and filling which stops you snacking in the afternoon... Its at least a once a month treat for me. YUM!
Outstanding Food, APPALLING rude and slow service
good food, good price but very poor uninterested service
One of my favorite restaurants in London. Great service, great food (all the bibimbap dishes are great and especialy the kimchi pancakes are to die for!), and a convenient location.

Narceus americanus magnified
Last Saturday we visited Cunningham Falls State Park near Frederick, Maryland. It was foggy and drizzly and there were big millipedes everywhere.
This is Narceus americanus, a native and common inhabitant of the woods around here. The ones on the fallen trunks seemed to have been eating the stuff growing on the rotting wood. Here is a close-up of the head of one. Note the compound eyes.
I thought the weather was also perfect for gastropods, but after more than an hour of looking all I could find was one slug.

Disease Proof
Kellogg's Nixing Ads to Kids
Maybe we've finally realized that sugary cereals aren't exactly the nutritious way for kids to start the morning because Kellogg's has begun phasing out ads aimed at kids. Andrew Martin of The New York Times reports:
Kellogg also announced that it would stop using licensed characters or branded toys to promote foods unless the products meet the nutrition guidelines.Alright, it's a noble endeavor, but, they shouldn't been selling that junk to kids in the first place.
The voluntary changes, which will be put in place over the next year and a half, will apply to about half of the products that Kellogg currently markets to children worldwide, including Froot Loops and Apple Jacks cereals and Pop-Tarts.
Frosted Flakes, for example and Rice Krispies with Real Strawberries will still make the nutritional cut, though regular Rice Krispies will not (too much salt).
The president and chief executive of Kellogg, David Mackay, said that the products that did not meet the guidelines would either be reformulated so that they did, or no longer be advertised to children.
"It is a big change," Mr. Mackay said. "Where we can make the changes without negatively impacting the taste of the product, we will."
If the product cannot be reformulated, Mr. Mackey said, the company will either market it to an older audience or stop advertising it.

A Little Ball of Perseverance
Monday, January 07, 2013
I taught myself to crochet 2 years ago. And I have got myself a bit of a yarn habit. I have lots of yarn and I'm not buying anymore till I use some of it up - a yarn diet if you will.
Now back in July I was bought a ball winder - ooo the excitement. I hadn't got skeins of yarn that needed winding but that was ok.
Then I saw 5 skeins of beautiful purple cotton on ebay and I HAD to have them. They were expensive (for me) and I eagerly anticipated their arrival. I was so excited when they arrived. I had no idea what they would become (and being honest I still don't!).
So they arrived in August and I decided to try out my ball winder having looked for instruction on the internet.
Well, I learned 2 valuable lessons.
1. I need a second pair of hands when using said ball winder
2. I should read instructions properly
My beautiful skein of purple cotton became nothing short of the messiest plate of purple spaghetti you have seen. I was disheartened and upset because I thought I had ruined it.
And the mess sat on my desk, or under my desk or on my printer for months. . People said "don't worry about it just wind another skein and forget this one".
But I couldn't. Every so often I would untangle a bit.
And then last month when I had nothing else to do I started untangling it properly and each day I did a bit more.
Last night I finally finished it. My perseverance paid off. Do you want to see?
(the picture isn't very good - apologies)
Its a beautiful ball of purple cotton.
Now why you might asking are you telling me this? what relevance does it have to losing weight?
well that little ball of yarn is sitting on my desk reminding me that if I keep going I will get what I want. I will achieve my goal even if I have a few setbacks. And I can do anything if I put my mind to it.
I rarely finish anything. And that is part of my plan this year. Stick to the plan, finish what I start.
I am waiting for my joggers to dry (again!) and then I am out walking. Due to time constraints (we need to go shopping this morning) I am off on a half hour jaunt rather than an hour.
But I am going to persevere. I will be healthy and I am going to fit in that airline seat. And I am going to say no to the cake pushers at work!!
Have a great day!!

Great metaphor for struggle, then untangling the doubt and reaching a goal! And that yarn is the most gorgeous eggplant purple ever! Good luck!

As if having surgery wasn't scary enough, one New York man had to have an appendectomy twice, since the first doctor simply forgot to take out his appendix.
CBS News reported Thursday, that investment banker William McCormack had surgery preformed by Dr. Michael Kerin at Lawrence Medical Center in Bronxville, N.Y. fourteen months ago to have his appendix removed.
But McCormack recently had to undergo a second surgery at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for what he thought was an unrelated medical ailment. A second doctor took a look at McCormack's enlarged appendix and decided that it needed to come out.
Imagine McCormack's confusion when he found out he'd had his appendix removed - twice.
"Dr. Kerin, as a surgeon, he should've known what an appendix looks like," McCormack's attorney Mitchell Baker said to CBS 2.
Kerin apparently removed some type of "yellowish mass" from McCormack. The mass looked nothing like his appendix that was in need of removal.
What do you think? Is a lawsuit in order?

|How the Monge--Ampere equation helps in proving the John--Nirenberg inequality
|Geometry Luncheon Seminar
|Vasily Vasyunin, Steklov Institute, St. Petersburg
|I would like to present, using the famous John--Nirenberg inequality as an example, a rather new technique of obtaining integral estimates in analysis, the so-called Bellman function method. Originated in the stochastic control theory, it has become a hands-on and effective tool in proving various functional inequalities. The estimate being proved is recast as the solution of an extremal problem. Solving such problems exactly -- a step that often depends on solving Monge--Amp\`ere equations on problem-specific Euclidean domains -- produces inequalities with sharp constants. The presentation will not require any special knowledge; in particular, one does not need to know what the John--Nirenberg inequality is. The main prerequisite is the Lebesgue integration theory.

Overall Experience
Great rooms and font desk staff
June 10, 2016
I had a very enjoyable stay. I love having a kitchenette in a room, to let me fix my own food instead of eating out so much in my travels. The front staff was friendly and great people to deal with.
Great Staff and Comfy Beds
June 07, 2016
I really appreciated the staff at the hotel. They were very kind, patient and helpful.
The room itself was comfortable, especially the bed. The carpet and the cabinets could use some revamping but other than aesthetics, they were fine.
For the location, price and amenities it was a great deal!
Nice hotel
May 28, 2016
It was only a one night stay, but it was nice. Thank you.
Convenience at a great value
May 23, 2016
As much as I travel; practical amenities, convenient check in/out, quiet comfort, and courtesy coffee are all I need. This property provided for all of these.
It also helps to have a fitness facility although that is not a deal breaker.

Straumann, Barbara (2011). A voice of her own? Feminine voice effects in George Du Maurier, George Bernard Shaw and Isak Dinesen. Slovo a smysl / Word and Sense: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Theory and Criticism in Czeck Studies, 15:21-39.
Full text not available from this repository.
What does it mean to have voice of one's own? And how does narrative fiction, as a medium that works without any concrete sound, evoke "voice" as an aesthetic special effect? Taking my cue from George Bernard Shaw and his play Pygmalion (1913), which refers us to the notion that in a gender context, having a voice is not coterminous with having a voice of one's own, I compare and juxtapose the two female singer figures in George Du Maurier's novel Trilby (1894) and Isak Dinesen's story "The Dreamers" (1934). With her radical departure from Du Maurier's construction of Trilby's voice, which is ventriloquized by Svengali, a male artist who sings through her, Dinesen foregrounds the subjectivity of the modern woman artist. In a tragic accident, Pellegrina Leoni loses her voice as a professional singer but instead gains a "voice" of her own as she recreates herself, both as an artist and as her own work of art. By picking up on Mikhail Bakhtin, Shoshana Felman and others, I show in my reading of these two texts about singers how the "voice effect" of narrative fiction invites us as readers and critics to become aware of the tone or "voice" of a text as we trace the dialogue and/or the dissonance between various textual voices.

Valentine's Day- It's all about the best gift -- love
Valentine's Day — it's an easy time to get caught in the web of love and festivity of the holiday.
Commercialized frenzy, sometimes cheesy sentimentality and unrealistic expectations seem to be at every turn, supposedly helping people find the most means to display their affection.
So, what do female West Hawaii residents and visitors actually want today?
Perhaps, The Beatles said it best when they sang, "All you need is love."
Kailua-Kona resident Sanne Berrig has "mixed" opinions about Valentine's Day.
"It really depends on whether you happen to be in a relationship that's happy or if you lost a loved one. If it's the latter, you tend to think of the day as a cruel corporate conspiracy," she said. "The first year after I went through a divorce, I loathed Valentine's Day, mostly because I was going through a difficult time."
This holiday so far has been good for Berrig. Already she got an unexpected call Monday from a local florist, who said there were flowers awaiting her on her lanai.
"While it's always nice to get something that expresses someone's emotion or gratitude, it's the unexpected that means so much more. It's important to do these types of things — not just on this day, but also throughout the year," she said.
Because her Valentine lives somewhere else, Berrig will have fish and chips at Quinn's Almost By The Sea with her "bestie" and stepmom, Wanda, who has shared stories about Berrig's romantic father who died 16 years ago.
If Berrig could have anything for Valentine's Day, it would be "that everyone feels love."
"The best way to get love is to give love," she said. "It sounds cheesy and like an answer given at a Miss America pageant, but I think love should be shared and spread around for everyone, so even the lonely feel loved and happy."
What Susan Suter of Tacoma, Wash., would like most this Valentine's Day is her husband, Wayne, who died three years ago. They were married for 38 years.
"I miss my husband. He would always get me flowers and cards, but the cards were his forté," she said. "He was very good at picking them out, whether it was my birthday, a holiday or just because. He put in a lot of effort."
While Suter has no expectations for today, she remains a believer in love.
"I believe in love and I'm ready find love again," she said.
Rhode Island resident Maria Bernal-Doherty said she and her husband, Kevin, have decided the feeling of love should be expressed year-round. These newlyweds have been married for three months.
"Our philosophy is you shouldn't have to use Valentine's Day to do something special, show your love and be lovely to each other. You should be that way all the time," Bernal-Doherty said. "Valentine's Day for us is just another day."
Their expectations for the day were realistic. "We've been having such a beautiful time here — scuba diving, camping, hiking and exploring the island over the past month. I couldn't expect anything more. He's the best Valentine," she said.
Carol Cass, of Seattle, Wash., described Valentine's Day as just like any other day, only hyped by commercialism.
"I typically don't think twice about the holiday," she said. "My husband, David, treats me well all year long, spoiling me by buying me flowers, chocolates and other goodies when he wants. He's always been like that: a romantic and a good husband. We've been married for 46 years."
While Cass holds no expectations for today, she wants to go out to dinner with her husband and he happily obliged by making reservations at their favorite spot.
"He's taking me to Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill. He knows those purple mash potatoes make me happy," she said.

CDC (WTF) - Let the madness start
By lukas on Apr 06, 2006
Oh, my godness. I never thought that the product that I'm working on will be noticed on NASDAQ. Did you noticed that the Sun's stocks hit the 12 month highs? Is it because of the CDC? I guess that no. Petr 'Suchys' Suchomel is good presenter (and Matt too) but influencing the stocks seems too much even for him

Anita O'Day (vocals)
Waiter, Make Mine Blues (Universal 9288)
Anita O'Day (vocals), Dicky Wells (trombone), Frank Rosolino (trombone), Bud Shank (alto sax), Al McKibbon (bass), Mel Lewis (drums),
Harry Betts, Ken Shroyer (trombone); Jeff Clarkson (piano), Al Hendrickson (guitar).
Composed by Jerome Kern & Otto Harbach. Arranged by Russ Garcia.
Recorded: Los Angeles, August 1, 1960
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
Decades before recycling became fashionable, Russ Garcia was doing his part, reworking an arrangement of "Con Alma," written for Oscar Peterson's Swinging Brass (1959), into a chart for another Verve album, this one by Anita O'Day. Thus did yesterday's Garcia arrangement become Garcia's arrangement of "Yesterdays." O'Day, however, had a tougher row to hoe, since she was stuck with the preposterous 1933 lyric by a former English professor. "Joyous, free, and flaming life," it goes, "forsooth was mine." Forsooth? Get thee uptown, Otto! Somehow, out of this emerges a hip and highly enjoyable track. Please recycle.

Improved Google Search Functionality
Previously, when utilizing the Google Search in the CMS (upper right corner of a website), users were taken away from the site on which they performed the search (i.e., Statistics) to a results page displaying the LSA college website banner (see below for before and after screen shots). This presentation often resulted in confusion as to what results were being provided - were they results from all LSA CMS sites or only the Statistics site? The truth is that the results were actually from the Statistics site, but the display of the results left users unclear.
The recent programming change by Web Services provides a seamless search experience, with users remaining within the same site, and results displaying within the body of the page on which the search is performed. In addition, subsequent searches will be confined to the site from which they are performed.
This change, discussed by Web Services Developer Chris Rockwell at last month's User Group meeting, was rolled out May 6, 2014 at 8:00 p.m.

Comedian Mike Epps apparently has no sense of humor when it comes to jokes cracked about him. According to a report by TMZ on Monday, Epps allegedly played a role in beating down another comic in Atlanta because he was mocking Epps feud with Kevin Hart.
The alleged victim was comic Lavar Walker who told police that he was informed Epps was waiting outside the Uptown Comedy Corner club to speak to him concerning his jokes. When he went outside, he alleged he was struck in the face by Epps and then further attacked by two other men who were with Epps. Walker was then transported to a hospital suffering from various injuries.
There have been no arrests associated with the allegations, but Atlanta police are investigating the fight that went down Saturday night. The situation supposedly evolved after Walker made a video poking fun at Epps, who is nationally known. In the 15-second video captured on Instagram, Walker parodies a social media war of words between Mike Epps and Kevin Hart.
Witnesses do confirm that it was Epps behind the beating. One witness called the incident "ridiculous" because it happened over an Instagram joke. Another witness, comedian Bo Micadelic, said he saw what happened. He told WSB-TV, "I was shocked by it all to go down like that, especially with Mike Epps who's supposed to be a superstar. Why would he get involved in something?"
Micadelic goes to claim that Walker was immediately punched by one of Epps' bodyguards as soon as he went outside and then was kicked in the head while he was down. Walker never fought back or even had the chance to defend himself. Micadelic also reported that Epps went over to Walker while he was calling the police and said, "Don't make any more videos of me."
Mike Epps has not responded to the allegations, but witnesses who saw the incident feel that sort of violence was not necessary for something that was meant as a joke. In the world of comedy, people involved should have a tougher skin because what makes comedy entertaining is the ability to create laughs.

Something's got to give!
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
I'm feeling pretty down on myself right now. My weight has crept up to 192.2. That's the most I've been in a while! I'm hoping it is just water retention from all the sodium I had for dinner last night. I've been doing really good with my eating and meal planning and sticking to it. Last night I had a turkey in the slow cooker. It wasn't done when I got home. And close to dinner time it still wasn't ready! So I ordered pizza. Carry out! I was so disappointed! I had this lovely dinner planned! Ugh! And to top it all off, the turkey was done about half an hour after we ate! I could have prepared everything and just ate a little later. But I was worried about keeping the kids on their schedule. Oh well.
I'm still really sore from Sunday's events! I've been doing these crunches at my desk chair to try to ease the pain from my abs. That's been helping and feels really great! But I feel silly doing them! I don't care though! I'm going to pop in my 20 minute zumba dvd this afternoon before the kids get home. Usually I pick them up but hubby doesn't have to go to his 2nd job so he's going to get them. Then Shiloh has his Kindergarten music program at school tonight! I'm excited about that! He was so nervous last night and this morning!
I think I need to eat more veggies at lunch. I feel like I haven't been eating enough and I've been eating too much fruit. Like today, I had a ham and cheese sandwich with a cutie and apple sauce. Yesterday I ate a chicken wrap with 3 cuties. I feel like I'm getting more fruit in my diet, but i'm subbing them for veggies. This well balanced diet thing is so hard to get under control! I've been doing really good at taking my lunch every day though! I'm super proud of that! I've been getting headaches the last week or so. I think it has something to do with my body adjusting to the lack of sodium in my diet. That's the only thing I can account for. Now that I'm not eating so much fast food I'm not getting so much sodium!
I need more accountability. I think I'm going to start up my weekly goals and follow up blog. That seemed to help a lot. Just wish there was someone close I could be held accountable to. Everyone I've tried working out with or meal planning with has bailed on me. Oh well. I'm still here and trying!

Talk of circles, and punching out.
Looking in, drawing circles down.
Falling up, then south, marking ground.
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down.
Like Pilate I have a dog. (x2)
Walks me out of town. Still one's a crowd.
Making angels in the dirt.
Looking up, looking all around.
Like Pilate I have a dog. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves. (x2)
Stunned by my own reflection.
It's looking back, sees me too clearly, and I swore I'd never go there again.
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down.
You down... (x3)
Like Pilate I have a dog. Obeys, listens, kisses, loves. (x3)
Like Pilate I have a dog.

Love!I tried this shampoo based on the reviews, and I'm so glad I did. The texture is rich and creamy, and it smells really good. When I rinsed my hair, it felt moisturized, not dry and brittle like some shampoos leave your hair. My curls also looked nice and defined. I would highly recommend. In fact, I think I found my holy grail shampoo!Sep 18, 2014Tanisha D. / San Diego, CAHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Excellent Conditioner!I have been using this conditioner and the accompanying shampoo for several months, now. I have chemically relaxed (smoothened) hair and this shampoo/conditioner duo does an excellent job in extending the time my (otherwise frizzy) hair stays smooth and soft. The Healing Smooth conditioner moisturizes my hair without leaving it heavy and greasy-feeling. The fragrance is soft and pleasant, not overpowering. I plan to stick with this shampoo/conditioner duo because I like to stay with what really works for me. I do also use Chi Power Plus Priming shampoo a couple times a week to thoroughly cleanse my oily scalp and clarify my hair. It pairs perfectly with the L'Anza Healing Smooth shampoo and conditioner duo.May 27, 2013DianaHAIR TYPELight Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

This March, the Rienzi and Bayou Bend Book Club is reading The Arcanum: The Extraordinary True Story by Janet Gleeson. Focusing on the development of Meissen porcelain in the 18th-century, Gleeson tells the tale of three Johanns, all instrumental in the process of creating "white gold": Johann Frederick Böttger, Johann Gregor Herold, and Johann Joachim Kändler. Meissen, founded in 1710, was the first European porcelain manufactory to develop hard-paste porcelain similar to Asian exports.
The text was selected because Rienzi's collection contains several Meissen objects: Figure of a Swan and The Möllendorf Dinner Service. Towards the end of Gleeson's book, in the chapter "The Last Journey," there is a direct link to Rienzi's Collection: the mention of the Swan Service. Rienzi is home to a Plate from the Swan Service, dating to 1737. A white dinner plate with a swan relief and a gilded rim with a few floral elements painted on the border, it graces a table beneath the portrait of Esmé Stuart.
In Gleeson's text she details how the Swan Service was designed by Johann Joachim Kändler, Meissen's most gifted modeler, for Count Brühl, Director of the Meissen Factory and important Saxon political figure. Gleeson also notes that the service "took nearly four years to complete and one of the largest ever made," at nearly 2200 pieces. Comprised of plates, tureens, sauceboats, trays, spice bowls, fruit stands, candlesticks, and other accouterments, it is said that Brühl's French pastry chef may have advised Kändler's design. Additionally, items in the Electoral Collections, including a drawing by Francis Barlow, designs by Juse Aurèle Meissonier and the painting Galatea in a Shell Wagon by Francesco Albani, served as inspiration for the service. It remained in the Brühl family through World War II.
The creation of the service fueled the rivalry between Kändler and Johann Gregor Herold, the factory's lead painter. The entire service was to be white, and only have color within the Brühl's coat-of-arms, emphasizing the molded reliefs. Herold felt the modeling components of the pieces, and subsequently Kändler, were being favored over his decorative painted designs. Herold was allegedly so jealous that he tried to purposely ruin parts of the Swan Service by telling "his workers to run a sponge over the plates…so as to blur their crisply defined details." This purposeful destruction of a coworker's craft highlights the competition and jealously that were major parts of Meissen's development of "white gold."
To learn more about Meissen's fascinating development join us on March 14th for discussions on Janet Gleeson's book or visit Rienzi on a porcelain tour to see the Swan Service in person!

Leonardo Da Vinci ms. 19071r_Royal_Library, detail
"With what words O writer can you with a like perfection describe the whole arrangement of that of which the design is here? . . . I counsel you not to cumber yourself with words unless you are speaking to the blind." Leonardo Da Vinci's annotation on a page dominated by his illustration of an ox heart.
Both human sight and human language rely on deep, innate and universal structures. Those structures, their differentiation and integration in the individual, and the interdependent roles of sight and language in human life, provoke large non-rhetorical questions and provide a rich domain for disciplined and creative inquiry.
Each way of knowing, visual and verbal, must have its own advantages or these abilities would not be so fundamental or so distinct that a preference for one or another constitutes a cognitive style or form of intelligence. Among the currently defined multiple intelligences visual and verbal are most clearly distinguished as 'linguistic intelligence' and 'spatial intelligence.'
An interesting intersection of the two principles of language and vision occurs when a visual artist is asked to explain a work of visual art, implying that the perceiver is in doubt about the meaning of what is seen, or believes that understanding can be supplemented. A corollary implication of such a request is that some combination of visual and verbal activity might generate meaning for the perceiver that neither alone can provide. If words alone could convey full meaning, then there would be no need for an image, and vice versa.
One might reasonably assume that the choice of becoming a visual artist would be made by persons who most highly value their visual intelligence. Preference, however, does not imply exclusivity. Any "well-rounded" person will have linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist abilities to varying degrees. An intelligent verbal response to the request for a verbal enhancement to a piece of visual art is therefore not categorically out of the question, but requires a flexible response between intelligences.
This flexibility should be found among those most rigorously prepared as visual artists. The current terminal (meaning ultimate, not necessarily fatal) academic degree for the preparation of visual art professionals is the Master of Fine Art (MFA). Preparation includes studio, history, philosophy and professional development often culminating in a "thesis" exhibition supported by a written statement and oral defense.
Professor Gregory Amenoff, Chair of the Visual Arts Division at Columbia University generously described the process in a personal communication with this Examiner that underscores the serious nature of the activity at one of the nation's most highly regarded graduate schools:
Dear Carleton,
Many artists coming into our program have already written statements in prep for applying to Columbia. However within the program there are three ways statements are developed.
First casually as per need in consultation with faculty when students are applying for grants and various residencies we offer directly or indirectly.
Second: We have a class which is an elective taught by Jackie Battenfield which is a professional practice class. About half our students take it. Within the context of learning about insurance, lawyers, landlords, grants, taking photos etc etc. students in the class develop an artist statement which is mentored by Ms. Battenfield.
Finally, in preparation and as part of their final thesis work in the last semester each soon to graduate student develops a statement which is used as a point of discussion for their final thesis committee meeting at the thesis show. That is normally mentored by a full time faculty serving as the head of the thesis committee.
Best, Gregory
Four articles have been prepared by this Examiner to permit readers to explore the artist's statement as an example of the relationship between words and images at a high enough level to be meaningful. Each of the contemporary painters who generously agreed to share his writing and portfolio for this inquiry has a significant exhibition record and the M.F.A., is presently exhibiting and selling artwork, and therefore may be considered somewhere in "mid-career" as a professional artist.
The visual artist's statement: an intersection of words and images
Tom Sanford, artist's statement and portfolio May, 2010
Benjamin Edwards, artist's statement and portfolio, May 2010
Denis Peterson, artist's statement and exemplary works
Although there are many collections of artists' portfolios, such as Saatchi Online and Irving Sandler's Artists Space which invite written remarks, this small collection offers the reader an opportunity to examine the relationship between artists' formal statements and related images of their work, and to consider the roles of pictures and words in those visual and verbal statements. The subject invites further development, but since such expanded discussion is beyond the scope of this article, at the end of the sentence this Examiner will have written his last word.

Saturday June 21st is the longest day of the year. A perfect time to pack up the kids and head down to the Exploratorium for the first in a summertime series of Market Days. It starts at 11:00 AM and goes until 3:00 PM. It takes place on the plaza at Pier 15, and it's Free. If you want to go into the museum and play with the other exhibits, it will still cost an admission fee: $15.00 for Non-Members, $10.00 for Members, and Free for Lab Members.
This month's Market Day focus is 'Local Motion'. Interact with community scientists, artists and educators as you explore the power of paddles, pedals, and pulses of electricity. Peruse art bikes, electric skateboards, and cargo bikes. Learn the basics of bike repair, try your 'wheels' on a wheelchair obstacle course, and take a motorized pony ride. Look inside a chicken foot to see how it works. Make paper rockets with the Explorables volunteers. After all that activity, your appetite has probably overtaken your sensibilities, but fear not! You can enjoy some food to go at the Exploratorium's own SeaGlass Restaurant.
A few of the featured attractions are a bicycle powered Ferris wheel with Paul Cesewski, The Crucible's youth program learning about bicycle repair and customization, the New Wheel's electric bikes, services, and goods, Scraper Bikes decorating your own bike with paint, tape foil and wrappers, Xtra Cycle's Cargo Bikes for kids, goods, errands, and adventures. You can also take a Waterfront History Bike Tour (bring your own bike, please) with Chris Carlsson. The tour is free. There will be Boosted Boards: electric long boards that can go anywhere, and you can carry everywhere. You can try out a four person-powered car from HumanCar, Inc. that runs on your and 3 other people's efforts. Ride a motorized pony from Mission Pony and put it through it's paces. Build racer cars and hovercrafts using CDs, film canisters, and balloons with the Explorables.
There's certainly plenty to do to occupy you and the kids, or you and your sweetheart, or just you on the longest day of the year! Don't miss this opportunity for fun in the sun!
The Market Day series events are the 3rd Saturday of the month from June to October. It's a kind of mini-festival and each month it's a different theme, but they feature curated art, science demonstrations, hands-on activities, exhibits, and craft displays.

TUCSON, Ariz. - Two road meets in two days.
Two wins for the ninth-ranked Stanford men's swimming and diving team.
The latter of which came Saturday against No. 1 Arizona, 173-115, at the Wildcats' Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.
"We took away many positives from today's meet, mostly the great racing in both individual and relay events while showing some very good depth," Goldman Family Director of Men's Swimming Ted Knapp said. "Our diving at both meets this weekend was very solid."
David Nolan, Andrew Saeta, Jack Lane and Aaron Wayne got Stanford going with a win in the 200 medley relay (1:27.21).
One race later, Drew Cosgarea (9:20.09) won the 1,000 free with Danny Thomson (9:29.01) and Bryan Offutt (9:31.47) claiming the next two spots.
Thomas Stephens (1:39.08) won the 200 free and Nolan (47.92) kept the winning streak alive in the 100 back.
Arizona got one back in the 100 breast, as Mason Shaw (56.88) led all Cardinal swimmers with a fourth-place showing. Shaw (2:06.96) was also fifth in the 200 breast.
Back came Stanford in the 200 fly, as Mack Montgomery (1:48.55) was joined by Lane (1:49.04) and Tom Kremer (1:49.42) for a 1-2-3 finish.
The Cardinal duplicated the feat in the 50 free with Wayne (20.32), Saeta (20.55) and Jake Hartley (20.95) topping the podium.
Wayne's second straight win came in the 100 free with a 43.58, over one second faster than second-place Giles Smith (44.93) of Arizona.
Matt Thompson (1:46.99) and Matthew Swanston (1:47.93) were the top two finishers in the 200 back.
Cosagrea (4:30.58) was the first of a trio of Cardinal to finish in the top three of the 500 free. Thomson (4:34.60) was second and Offutt (4:34.99) was third.
Lane (48.42) squeezed out a win in the 100 fly and Nolan (1:49.36) led all swimmers in the 200 individual medley.
Wayne, Saeta, Sean Duggan and Stephens clocked a meet-best 2:57.19 in the 400 free relay.
Kristian Ipsen was victorious in the 1-meter (391.28) and 3-meter (426.08) diving events.
Stanford returns to the water when it plays host to USC on Feb. 9.

SEATTLE — A gunman killed five people in Seattle on Wednesday — four at a cafe and another in a carjacking — before he apparently shot himself as officers closed in following a citywide manhunt, authorities said.
The suspect died later Wednesday at Harborview Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.
Police who began scouring the area for the person who opened fire at the cafe near the University of Washington responded a short time later to another fatal shooting near the city's downtown. They say a man killed a woman in an apparent carjacking and fled in a black SUV.
Police said late Wednesday they believe one man was responsible for both attacks.
"At this time, we feel pretty confident that we have the suspect," said Assistant Seattle Police Chief Nick Metz.
The Seattle Times identified the suspect as Ian Lee Stawicki, 40, of Seattle, citing unidentified law enforcement sources. Seattle police Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said he couldn't confirm the name and said police would not publicly identify the suspect Wednesday night.
Andrew Stawicki, 29, of Ellensburg, told the Times he recognized a photo shown on TV newscasts of the alleged gunman as his brother Ian. Andrew Stawicki said Ian Stawicki was mentally ill.
"It's no surprise to me this happened," he told the newspaper. "We could see this coming. Nothing good is going to come with that much anger inside of you."
The latest spasm of deadly gun violence to hit the city worried Seattle's leaders and prompted police to consider increasing patrols in high-crime areas. The five victims' deaths bring the number of homicides so far this year to 21, matching the total for all of last year.
Police said residents could expect a heightened police presence in the city for the time being.
Gunfire erupted late Wednesday morning at Cafe Racer, a restaurant and music venue north of the University of Washington. The gunman was described as a man, possibly in his 30s, wearing dark clothes.
Two men died at the scene, and a third man and a woman from the cafe died at a hospital.
One man wounded in the cafe shooting remained at Harborview in critical but stable condition following surgery earlier in the day. Gregg confirmed his name as Leonard Meuse. Meuse's father, Raymond Meuse, told the Times his son was shot in the jaw and armpit but was expected to survive.
A King County medical examiner's spokeswoman said her office might be able to release the dead victims' identifications today.
In a narrative of the day's violence released Wednesday night, police said it appears the gunman fled to the First Hill neighborhood near downtown, where he fatally shot a woman in a parking lot and stole her SUV.
Police believe the gunman drove the SUV to West Seattle and ditched it, leaving a gun in the car. After officers found the vehicle, they flooded that area with uniformed and plainclothes officers.
Late Wednesday afternoon, a plainclothes detective spotted the cafe suspect and called for uniformed officers and a SWAT team, Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel said.
As those officers arrived, the man put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger, Pugel said.
During the manhunt, Roosevelt High School, Eckstein Middle School and Greenlake Elementary were locked down, according to the school district.
In the past month, there have been two random killings in the city.
At a news conference, Mayor Mike McGinn said the spate of violence had "shaken" the city.

As the role of technology continues to widen and become more strategic, information technology organizations play an increasingly critical part in the success of their enterprises.
The IT end-user professionals within these organizations depend on Gartner to enhance their resources with expertise and guidance. End-user programs and products enable these IT leaders to make decisions and solve business problems based on the best knowledge and insight available on technologies, technology trends, technology providers and technology-driven business processes.
Our End-User Programs Associates:
View All End-User Programs Jobs
End-User Programs associates work within one of two role categories: Service Delivery or Product.
Service Delivery associates are generally responsible for driving retention in existing clients. Through an in-depth understanding of a client's business, they drive engagement and usage of Gartner products and services. Associates work in one of the following roles:
Client Partners (CPs) work with individual clients (typically a director level and above) who have access to services within an assigned territory, to ensure that they receive value far surpassing the cost of their services. They work in a collaborative partnership with multiple sales executives to encourage client engagement based on a deep understanding of the client's business and key initiatives, milestones and measures of success.
Client Research Associates (CRAs) support clients (primarily IT technical staff) who have access to the Gartner for Technical Professionals product. They manage client requests for analyst inquiry and research with the objective of ensuring that clients within their assigned territory receive superior value for their investment. They work in a collaborative partnership with multiple sales executives to encourage client engagement based on a deep understanding of the client's business and the key initiatives, milestones and measures of success most predictive of the client renewing his or her service entitlements.
Leadership Partners (LPs) are responsible for managing and delivering premier Gartner products that cater to senior leaders in large enterprises who are managing IT functions for a business unit or the entire enterprise. They are trusted advisors/coaches who promote client learning as well as assist in helping clients execute on key initiatives by leveraging their industry experience and combining it with Gartner knowledge and resources.
Leadership Client Managers (LCMs) partner with Leadership Partners to serve senior leaders in large enterprises. They provide assistance with all research and analyst inquiry requests and supporting the delivery of customized responses. LCMs actively manage the relationship with the client and ensure that delivery plans are completed on time.
New Client Engagement Specialists (NCEs) are certified product specialists. The NCE team is responsible for providing interactive training/onboarding sessions with clients so that they receive the best value from the products and services they have purchased. Sessions highlight key tools, features and services available. NCE associates liaise with client account teams to better understand client needs, which in turn helps NCE tailor a more customized experience. NCE also facilitates quarterly campaigns that stimulate existing client retention by introducing clients to features they may not be using. The team also helps educate other associates on new products by hosting global training webinars.
Product associates have roles within three areas:
Product Management: This team is responsible for growing the Gartner business, product by product, year after year. Associates manage the Gartner product portfolio and develop client communication strategies as well as sales support programs and go-to-market strategies.
Product Development: This team conducts and manages analyses that assess market opportunities, define product concepts and drive the development of new products and deliverables, from definition to market release. Associates drive innovation within the product portfolio that increases client engagement, and manage road maps for key delivery platforms.
Product Marketing: This team is responsible for ensuring that products are positioned to stimulate and satisfy the demands of the end-user market and drive continued product-line growth. Associates stimulate product demand through lead-generating campaigns targeted to senior decision makers, and ensure that account teams have the right tools to position our offerings and close opportunities. They also help support retention by working with sales teams to maximize the value each client receives.
Working at our headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, U.S., as well as other global locations, End-User Programs associates gain broad exposure across Gartner. Numerous opportunities exist for innovation and entrepreneurial leadership on high-profile projects.
