[[quoteright:350:[[WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Photo_Booth_Montage_7267.jpg]]]]
A specific form of {{photo montage}}.
Some characters, usually a romantic couple, rush into a photo booth, and the audience is treated to a brief {{montage}} of the photos they took there. The last picture tells us about the couple in question: if they're becoming TrueCompanions it will be a funny mugshot; if they're becoming more than friends, it will be a surprise kiss or something more serious to suggest the progression. This is a common feature of [[GirlsNightOutEpisode girls' night out]], too, and can usually be spotted as a small part of a greater montage.
* In ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', a bunch of the characters go to a photo booth and much ShipTease ensues as the resultant pictures feature Negi and [[{{Tsundere}} Asuna]], Negi and [[UnrequitedLove Nodoka]], Negi and [[UnwantedHarem Yue and Haruna]], and [[SchoolgirlLesbians Konoka and Setsuna]].
* In ''Manga/LoveHina'', Keitaro has a tradition of taking photo booth pictures, but since he's [[UnluckyEverydude such a loser]], his album is full of pictures of just him, alone. Naturally he's very excited when [[LoveInterest Naru]] offers to take some pictures with him.
* ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Miki, when she's on her TenMinuteRetirement and Makoto when the Producer takes her to the amusement park.
* In the second ''Manga/InuYasha'' movie ''[[Anime/InuYashaTheMovieTheCastleBeyondTheLookingGlass The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass]]'', Inuyasha and Kagome get a rather angry one. Inuyasha would have destroyed the photo booth if it weren't for a [[RestrainingBolt Sit Command]]. Bonus points for the pictures looking like they were about to kill each other and Inuyasha's butt in front of the camera after the sit command.
* Harley Quinn and the Joker indulge in this.
* The stoic X-23 and the recently vampirized Jubilee share a moment of bonding with one of these as well.
* "Photo Finish" in ''Comicbook/{{Batman}} Chronicles'' #9 featured Robin's first meeting with Batgirl, which ended with one of these. Dick expects to be in trouble for mucking about when he was meant to be on patrol, but when Batman sees it, he just says "Good teamwork, Robin."
[[folder:Film -- Live Action]]
* ''Film/SupermanIII'' has Superman changing into his iconic outfit in one of these.
* {{The reveal}} of the film ''Her Married Lover'' is through this.
* Tracey Berkowitz does one alone in ''TheTraceyFragments''.
* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', there's a brief one when Scott is talking to Envy.
* Mia and her grandmother have one as part of a [[GirlsNightOutEpisode girls' night out]] in the film version of ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries''.
* Played with in ''Film/{{Amelie}}'', which has a montage of the title character looking through other people's discarded photos from such a booth, which her love interest has collected into an album.
* ''Film/LastVegas'' uses one of these to introduce the audience to the Flatbrush Four.
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* Series/MrBean once used a photo booth, and this trope, to check the back of his haircut.
* On ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', JD and Alex do one, and get interrupted by JD's pager.
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' with Buster and the sheep. Soon used again with Lucille getting her grocery store card.
* In a first season episode of ''Series/VeronicaMars'', a girl manipulates her blackmailing, emotionally abusive boyfriend into doing this so that she and Veronica can [[spoiler:doctor the photos to make it look like he is gay, and thus get him kicked out of the navy]].
* The opening credits of early '90s Canadian series ''Ready or Not'' features the main characters posing like this.
* ''Series/ModernFamily'''s fourth-season "Mistery Date" has one of Manny and Luke [[TheStinger under the closing credits]].
* A plot-critical one in ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': Maya and Emily have their first kiss inside a photo booth. The photos are stolen and used in A's BatmanGambit
* The opening credits in the first season of ''Ready or Not'' took place inside a photo booth.
* In the video for Aerosmith's "Crazy", the two runaway delinquents (played by Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler) hop into a convenience-store photo booth to change clothes. Averted in that the audience never sees the photos, but the girls hand them off to the store clerk. His reaction to what he sees kinda makes you wish you could have seen the photos.
* ''RockBand 2'' has this in its credits sequence. Each member of Harmonix is given a four-photo strip of whatever they choose while "Night Lies" plays in the background.
* In ''[[Franchise/CrashBandicoot Crash Tag Team Racing]]'', there's a cutscene where Crash runs into a nearby photobooth and has four snapshots of him. Snapshot one: Crash flexing but his flexed arm has sunk down without any muscle tone. Snapshot two: Crash showing of his abs in a sexy pose. Snapshot three: A close up of his teeth and finally snapshot four: Crash with his pants down showing off his underwear with hearts on them.
[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}} 6teen]]'' has one in its opening sequence.
* Beast Boy and Terra's date in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has one of these.
* The first season finale of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' has one as Jérémie lead Aelita through her first day [[spoiler:(not ''really'')]] on Earth.
* [[http://www.kidznet.nl/05.%20Girlz/spies/bspies11.gif Here]] is a good one, starring the girls of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies''
* Happens in the intro of ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks''.
* Platonic version on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', between Jimmy and his hero Wreckum.
* Eeny Teeny Maya Moe, an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', has a sweet one for Moe and Maya. The same episode has one for Marge and a drunken Homer.
** "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em" has Lisa in the photo booth with a pair of eels.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' has a couple of examples:
** In "Emotion Sickness", Kim and Shego get tagged with [[EmotionBomb emotion-altering "moodulator" chips]]. While the chips are set to "love", Shego drags Drakken into a photo booth; the viewer sees a set of photos culminating in her [[TheGlomp pouncing on him]].
** In "Stop Team Go", Shego is [[MirrorMoralityMachine temporarily turned good]] and becomes like a big sister to Kim. When she's restored to normal, she wistfully looks at some photo-booth pictures from their brief friendship, then [[BurnBabyBurn ignites them]] when she hears Drakken approaching.

Hi, thanks for the clarification - but I still have the following question: - will we be able to take the already existing filesystem, created on a 32-bit node, use it on a 64-bit platform (i.e. upgrade all the nodes), and from there extend it to whatever size >16Tb we desire, or will we have to adjust blocksizes, etc. to go past the 32-bit platform limit? I understand that the filesystem itself, on-disk, is not the part imposing the limit - however I think I have seen somewhere that one has to use larger block sizes to reach the upper limits of file system size. Is this correct? Thanks again Jan

Summerfest reports attendance was up at this year's festival
One year after sizzling heat took a toll on Summerfest attendance, the Big Gig recovered slightly, as 840,356 fans flocked to the lakefront, according to figures released Thursday.
This year's turnout was a 4.3% increase over last year, when 805,437 fans showed up at Summerfest. But the 2013 total is still less than the 878,636 fans who attended in 2011. »Read Full Article(35)

Skill Level Intermediate
Designing a book cover for Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell, using big type for the title and big type for the author name and simple imagery, in this case the trench, red flag, and sunset. So in this the third and final movie related to this particular book cover design, we're going to work with the type. And currently, the type in the starting state of this document is in Myriad Pro, but we're going to be changing it to Futura, and we're going to be applying some type effects to it.
In doing this, I was inspired by posters of the Spanish Civil War, but I was also inspired by the work of Swiss graphic designer Herbert Matter, especially his use of Type. I've kind of got that in my mind while I'm doing this. And let's select these three text frames, and if I want to change more then one text frame at a time, I can open up my Character panel. I can go to my Window menu for that or I can press Command+T or Ctrl+T.
And then we'll type in what we're after, Futura. If you don't have Futura, then I suggest that you stick with Myriad pro, which you will have because it comes with InDesign. And I actually want to use a condensed version of Futura, which is that one right there, Condensed ExtraBold. And then I also want to rotate this text. Before I do that, I'm going to select just this single text frame right here, and I want to fit my frame to my content, and I can do that with this icon here or I can use the keyboard shortcut, Command+Option+C. I think it's useful when working with type like this where the type is at a large size and you may want to just float one text frame around on top of or close to the other to adjust the spacing.
Then it's a good idea to have them as separate text frames rather then all in one text frame. So I'm going to select these two pieces of type, not that one. But I'm now going to group these together, Command+G or Ctrl+G, and then rotate them. And I think I'm going to do a free form rotation here. So I'm going to press the R key to choose my Rotate tool, establish the point from which I'm performing the rotation, and I'll have that remain as the center point and then just spin those around like so.
And then I'm going to get this one. And I want to spin that in the opposite direction. I'm going to need to zoom in for this. I could of course maybe rotate my spread, but frankly, it's just easier to crook your head for a little while. Spin that around like so and move it into position.
And now I want to scale up, both the type and the frame at the same time. Command+Shift or Ctrl+Shift and scale that up. So quite conveniently, it's sitting atop the N. And now, I'm going to select my group of type, the words Homage and Catalonia, and apply some effects to that. So from the Effects panel, I'm going to use Inner Shadow first of all, and I'm hoping this is going to give us a sort of silk screen look to my type, and that is pretty much just want I want right off the peg like that.
But I might feel compelled just to mess around with these options, because it just seems too easy, if we take what we're given without experimenting with the different options. But that's looking pretty good. So I'm going to accept that. And then, just to lift the type off the page a little bit, and I could have done this really in one go really, I don't know why I didn't, but I'm going to go back now to my Effects and apply a Drop Shadow to this as well. Now, that is not why I want off the peg.
I think that shadow is far too much and I'm having problems with my dialog box being too big here. So I'm just going to cancel out of that and reposition my page, something like that, and then come back, so that we can see both at the same time. And now to adjust the shadow, in this case, I think I'll just want to reduce the amount of offset, both for the X and the Y, and possibly the size of the shadow as well, and the distance.
So it's not quite as pronounced as it was before. I think that looks good. Lastly, just to make sure that we don't disrupt the relationship between these three elements, I have these two grouped together. I'm going to hold down the Shift key and select that one, and press Command+G again to include that in the group. Now we can now size them as one, and to do that so you don't pull them apart, hold down Command and Shift as you do so.
And there we have our self another book cover.

Operator: Good day, everyone and welcome to today's Oracle Corporation Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Conference. Today's call is being recorded.
At this time, I would like to introduce Ken Bond, Vice President of Investor Relations, Oracle. Please go ahead sir.
Ken Bond - VP, IR: Thank you, Kelly. Good afternoon, everyone and welcome to Oracle's third quarter fiscal year 2014 earnings conference call. A copy of the press release and financial tables, which includes a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation and other financial information can be viewed and downloaded from our Investor Relations website.
On the call today are Chief Executive Officer, Larry Ellison; President and CFO, Safra Catz; and President, Mark Hurd.
As a reminder, today's discussion will include forward-looking statements including predictions, expectations, estimates, or other information that might be considered forward-looking. Throughout today's discussion we will present some important factors relating to our business, which may potentially affect those forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from statements made today.
As a result, we caution you against placing undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and we encourage you to review our most recent reports including our 10-Q and 10-K, and any applicable amendments for a complete discussion of these factors, and other risks that may affect our future results or the market price of our stock.
Finally, we are not obligating ourselves to revise our results or publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events. Before taking questions, we'll begin with a few prepared remarks.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Safra.
Safra A. Catz - President and CFO: Thanks Ken. I'm going to focus on our non-GAAP results for Q3. I'll then review guidance for Q4 and turn the call over to Larry and Mark for their comments.
This quarter, currency was a 1% headwind to new software license and a 2% headwind to hardware and total revenue. In addition, EPS this year was reduced by $0.02 due to a currency remeasurement non-operating loss for Venezuela that obviously have not been included in my guidance. In Q3 of last year, Venezuela's devaluation had a $0.01 impact.
Q3 for us was a solid quarter and overall we're pleased with our results. Core businesses were within guidance and areas of investor focus including cloud, engineered systems and hardware all delivered strong results.
My comments today are generally going to reflect constant dollar growth rates unless I mention it otherwise. Total software revenues were nearly $7 billion, up 6% from last year. Software updates and product support revenues drove nearly half the total Company revenue at $4.6 billion, up 7% from last year. Q3 renewal rates were at a four-year high as our installed base of 400,000 customers continues to power earnings and cash flow. New software license revenues were $2.4 billion, up 5%.

I'm trying to put a contact form into a page that I've made. The problem is that even when I directly edit the HTML the stupid auto-formatting COMPLETELY screws up the code.
I know for a fact that this code works fine cause I've used it many times before.
How do I get the editor to stop screwing with my HTML?

Get involved in the Frog Census, a community frog monitoring program. The data collected through the program is used to help manage Melbourne's frog populations and raises awareness of waterway health issues.
Being a frog monitor is easy and fun to do, you don't need to be a frog expert. To start volunteering for the Frog Census all you need is a notebook and a recording device - the voice recorder on a mobile phone is perfect. You can record frog calls at any river, creek, wetland or any other type of waterway.
To get started, see our easy to follow templates and guides:
You can submit frog call recordings to us all year round, or as part of our specific data collection programs in April, August, October and November. Please make sure the recording is no longer than five minutes. Send your file to:
We will then identify the species of frogs you have recorded using a professional ecologist.
The data will inform planning and decision making on our waterway health and will be added to the CSIRO's Atlas of Living Australia to share biodiversity knowledge about endangered species.
If you're interested in learning more about frogs in your local area and would like to get involved in the Frog Census, check out our What's On page to see what events are coming up near you. There's no cost to attend but registration is essential.

BBAP Xmas Tree Project
For the holiday season, Buffalo Bayou Art Park will provide an alternative to the sparkly lights and Christmas carols blaring in our public spaces. The seventh annual BBAP Xmas Tree Project features local artists re-creations of the ubiquitous Christmas tree. This years offerings include a spinning pole that Troy Stanley adorned with fake Chinese currency. When the pole spins, the bills flair out to make it look like a tree. Mat Wolffs piece plays on a childs fear of waking up Christmas morning to find a stocking filled with coal. Wolff insists that coal is useful, messy and fun, and kiddos will get a free lump of the stuff so they can draw on his whitewashed, tree-shaped slate. Other pieces planned for the exhibit include Tommy Gregorys uprooted tree placed upside down and Patrick Renners huge jack made of six big trees inserted into the ends of a pipe. Other participating artists include Daniel Adame, Felipe Contreras, Michelle OMichael and Arts Collective Houston Seven. Check out the public arts project through January 4. Fish Plaza, Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas. For more information, call 713-502-9454 or visit www.bbap-houston.com. Free.

Sock heels: Short row vs. heel flap
There must be a reason people do heel flaps. Are they more comfy? Do they fit better? Since I do socks toe-up I've never knitted a heel flap. I've looked for instructions for toe-up heel flaps but not found them. Can someone give me a link or something? I'd really like to give them a try but currently am doing toe-up socks, next time I might try top down just to see how they are done and maybe I can translate it for toe-up but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. TIA for any help.
Hi GG, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or even if it helps. I've not attempted socks as of yet, but I'd stumbled upon this top-down pattern months ago and remembered it had a toe up version with a flap. I've posted a link for the toe-up version of the same pattern. The top-down version is the link right below. Both are free downloads and instructions are for either magic loop or dpn's.
Right now finished my first pair of mittens on dpns so I feel ready for socks very soon. Not sure if I should go ahead with the pattern above which is easy enough to follow or get Ann Budd's sock book. I know she has two of them, one of them is more complete I believe. Will have to investigate further.
Those are interesting patterns, Jemm with very neat illustratons of the placement of the parts of the sock. I always thought the heel flap and all the stitch patterns used for it were there to strengthen an area that gets most of the wear.
Sock knitting to me is like engineering, I understand very little about it -- it's why I've put it off for such a long time.
Knitfreedom.com has pattern for heel flap for toe up. Great site.
Oh, thank you so much for the links, Jemm. I think they may be just what I was looking for and not finding. I've looked at links that say faux heel flap or heel flap for toe up socks but couldn't find just how it's done. That pattern makes it clear. You're wonderful!
If you can knit mittens, you can knit socks. I've yet to use a sock pattern, I learned to do toes and heels and the rest is just spiraling stockinette or ribbing. Whatever socks you decide to do or if you're looking for instructions on how to do it w/o a pattern, be sure to ask any questions you have. I know I have lots of links in my blog thread (link in sig) if you can find them or I can find them and post them for you. I use the Lifestyle Socks method myself, others learned from other sources. The no swatch part was what decided it for me. I just make them fit. Till you learn how, socks are mysterious things that look scary hard. Once you learn how, basic socks are easy. I think you'll enjoy them.
Socks without a pattern?
I'm speechless :notworthy:
With the holidays coming up I don't know when I can start them, but xmas stockings are pretty close to making socks, right? :oo:
Thanks so much for the toe-up socks link and for offering to help. Knitters are passionate about their hobby aren't they?:sun:
See if this works.
Heel flaps add padding and reinforcement over the Achilles tendon where shoes tend to rub. They also tend to be more comfortable for people with high insteps because of the gusset stitches that are picked up along the heel flap, that are decreased back down.
Liat Gat's free Ravelry pattern for toe up with flap and gusset is the first link below. The second is a tutorial you can watch/review before deciding to work one if you like.
The humble sock toe up photo confused me, as the heel flap is typically not worked beneath the heel turn, but above it.
HTH. . . And have fun investigating! :muah:

Mob Boss
Odds of Getting In
As we said before, it's pretty difficult to apply for a job as a crew member in the mob. It's even less likely that dropping off a résumé at the local "flower shop" will get you the job. Just about all bosses, underbosses, capos, and soldiers either had fathers and grandfathers who were in the business or were close family friends of someone who was.
If you're one of these legacy mobsters, you'll have to try your luck by starting out doing small errands like acting as a lookout or running notes between mafiosos. It'll be like middle school all over again, only if you act up, your teachers will have you whacked.

I'd like to know
I search this answer on google but not found about disk enhanced function
In my experience, the difference is that Disk Enhanced never works.
But yeah, I've been wondering the same thing myself. The compatibility section will tell you that Disk Enhanced has additional requirements, but as far as a functional difference, I've seen no answers from anyone on this.
One thing I've noticed is "enhanced" uses mod_rewrite rules (it writes to your .htaccess), while "basic" does not. I assume basic serves directly from PHP which probably wouldn't make it as fast as enhanced, but I've not noticed a difference.
Also, the "enhanced" file cache directory structure is different (more elegant) than basic's:
I've used enhanced, but switched to basic in order to get some of my redirects, which were failing, to work.

D7100 graininess
I have been loving this camera! but i have been noticing a graininess when i look at the images 100%. (which is actually about 3x the screen resolution)
it is prounounced in the sky for day shots and was very apparent (to me) when i shot the dawn patrol it was very aparent even after post processing:
I was shooting with a non vr 70-300 zoom, and I'm pretty sure it was wide open, shutter around 250-500ish maybe a tad faster.
ISO was set to 500

#1. "RE: D7100 graininess" | In response to Reply # 0
I would be very surprised if it didn't with a capture that is rather under exposed. The camera can't invent light when it is not there, particularly when viewing greatly magnified at 100% A 24mpx campers with tiny pixels is going to show more grain than low res cameras of the same sensor quality because 100% is looking at a small space of a much larger image. If viewed normally, at intended distance and print size, it will have less noise than any other DX camera.
This begs the question, what camera does not have grain viewed with that much magnification with that much under exposure? Surely not any model I have ever used, including my D800.

I was using aperture pri, so the shutter was being calculated by the camera. i guess with the rising sun in the photo I should ahve dialed in an ev adjustment but I wanted sillouettes

Artistically you did the right thing to underexpose since your goal was silhouettes. However, underexposing does bring out the noise. (Everything is a compromise....) A little noise reduction in your post processing will clean it up quite nicely.

>> "i guess with the rising sun in the photo I should ahve dialed in an ev adjustment but I wanted sillouettes"
Stan is correct that - from a technical point of view the image is underexposed. On the other hand a sunrise shot like this needs to be underexposed or you lose the color in the sky and you don't get the silhouettes that you wanted.
So, for this image, underexposure was the right choice. Very nice image!
A bit of grain seen at 100% on your computer is nothing to worry about. Remember, at 100% view your image is about 60 inches wide and you are viewing that extremely large image on a low resolution (about 96PPI) device at a very close viewing distance.
I would bet that you could easily make a 24 inch wide print and you would not see any of the grain if the image is viewed from about 2 feet back.
In fact this is one way that these high resolution cameras control noise so well. The pixels are very small - so that when they are reduced in size for normal viewing (normal viewing = viewing the image in its entirety) the noise (or grain) blends away. Even if you make extremely large prints (60+ inches) the grain will become invisible when the viewer backs far enough away from the print to see the whole image.

Dave is right, I was writing as an explanation for the noise but artistically, if anything the image is slightly over exposed because the frame is lighter than the scene was if a silhouette was desired. It is not a bad photo underexposed, it is correct to be underexposed.
One thing to keep in mind, what the light meter in the camera is tell us. It sees the world differently than we do, it expects the mid tones to be 18% of the way between the blackest black possible and the lightest light possible.
Our eyes and brain combine to perceive the mid point between the whitest white and the blackest black when there is 18% mix of light. The camera wants every scene to be centered on that mid point of perceived illumination.
We know of course, that many scenes are not centered around that 18% level, where the subject is brighter than middle middle grey, and other sense look natural when darker. This is the reason we get dull grey snow in winter landscapes and dark grey wedding men's suit coat that in life is very dark, not grey.
With a little experience, we can judge the difference between what the camera thinks is right and what human viewers think it correct and adjust the camera accordingly. The snow scene looks correct to us if we dial in positive exposure compensation, around 2 full stops, to purposely over expose the shot(over exposed from the camera's opinion) and we dial in negative compensation to turn the image of the man's tux black as our eyes see it.
The increase or decrease in exposure compensation impacts the noise so that becomes part of the judgement call we make.
Shooting night scenes is often done by leaving it to the camera but that results in more illumination that actually is seen by our eyes so it is not very natural looking or quiet or free from noise. The camera sees the scene as needing to be brought up to daylight brightness, or a dull overcast day's brightness if allowed to control the exposure completely, resulting in a lot of additional noise from the increased exposure amplification.
It appears that many people think low light performance relates to having dark scenes having the same color, detail and brightness as a daylight scene, which is what I call the nightscope syndrome. To our eyes, dark scenes really do have less color and detail information and it is unnatural looking to appear otherwise. The reasonable use of high ISO performance is to increase shutter speeds for unblurred action, not turning dark scenes bright.
Pixel peeping is the enemy of peace of mind for photographers. You will never be happy if you view your, or anyone's images at microscopic scales. Camera, printers and screens are intended to produce images looking correctly when viewed at normal viewing distances and sizes, human scales. The exact complain of too much noise exists for people who do their viewing of a master's painting from 2 inches away with an 10X inspection loupe.
Such microscopic inspection only makes sense when using that scale of observation to authenticate a painting looking for artifacts that might reveal the actual painter. Looking in that way can produce information that is useful but tells nothing of the quality of the work or meaning. Same with photography.
Pixel peeping tells nothing of the quality or meaning of a photograph but can be used for specific diagnostics such as looking for artifacts of processing or focus mechanism. Expecting to determine qualitative merit of the photo is not what zooming in is for or useful for.

Grain at 100% should not be much of an issue. If you are viewing at 100%, you are looking at roughly a 1000 pixels out of more than 6000 in width. That means you're looking at the equivalent of a 6 foot wide print from about 18-24 inches away.
You can always apply a little noise reduction if it bothers you. The most likely sources of noise are initial sharpening or download settings. If you sharpen or apply contrast, it can increase the noise.

Skill Level Beginner
In this next video, we'll review how to move and rotate objects. Sounds boring? It's not. The ability to move and position any object or group of objects will be a huge boost to your accuracy, workflow and ability to explore different design options all in the same workspace. Furthermore, if you know how to accurately move and position objects in the scene, you can be a little looser when you build stuff. Let's start out with some moving. I'm going to go ahead and maximize the Perspective viewport by double-clicking.
The quickest way to move stuff and also the least accurate is the Drag mode. So, I'm going to highlight this, hold down the mouse button, and just move it. So, it's definitely quick and easy, although I have no idea where it started, where it ended, or how far it went. But it's pretty handy to get things out of the way. Let's get a little more accurate. I'm going to use the Transform Move command next. Click the button over here on the main toolbar. Select the object. I have got the End snap on. So, I can pick a specific point, and then I can now type in a distance.
I'm going to use 30 on the keyboard, Enter, and this will actually position it 30 units away on the construction plane, or since I have got the End point snap still set, it can go seek the nearest point, and get you 30 units closer along a line that continues. So, I'm going to hit Escape. Another accurate way to move stuff is using coordinates. Zoom back out.
Repeat the command Transform Move. Select the objects. We're going to pick a point, snap to the end. Now instead of snapping somewhere, I'm just going to type in the X, Y, Z values of where I would like to end up. So, I have got the one already noted there, -100, -100, and if the last value or last two values are 0, you can just omit them. So, I'll go ahead and hit Enter. So, now I know exactly where it ends up. So, it is accurate although not as useful some of the other ways.
Let's check out the most useful way to move objects. Let's first talk about moving this arm, so that the center of the arm is snapped to the end point here. So, we can snap to one of these Midpoint edges, but I want to be in the center of a surface, so there is no snapping ability there. No problem. Let's draw a quick line from opposite corners. I'm going to turn on the Midpoint snap, and now when I move it, I can seek that position and I'll wind it to that point.
So, let me do a quick crossing window right to left. Start the Move command, snapping from the Mid, and snapping to the End. So, now it's perfectly aligned. I don't know the distance. I don't know the angle, but it's exactly where I want. Let's try that one more time with the head. I'm going to make this a little bit easier. I'm going to change to Wireframe mode. I have got a line here and I want to move the head so it's centered, from this midpoint to the center of the axis, so the head will now align over the body.
I like working in the Perspective viewport, so it's much easier to pick objects. I'm going to select the head and geometry. Now I don't want to select some of these antenna objects up here. So, I'm going to deselect them with a Ctrl+Click. I'm going to leave those where they are. It looks like I got everything selected, do the Transform Move. Point to go from would be that midpoint, I can zoom around here, and point to end up is the end there.
Let's deselect and go back to Shaded view to check it out. Head is now perfectly aligned over the body. And the final way to move objects is with the Nudge. I'm going to zoom back into the arm. That looks a little bit out of alignment. So, I'm going to select the arm. Using the four arrow keys, I can just click it several times to nudge it into final position. Also, we have additional nudge keys to go vertically up or down using the Page Up and Page Down.
Let's try and click on those. So, you can go all three dimensions using the keyboard nudge keys. Let's talk about rotation. We're going to do a 2-D rotate first. So, I want to go into a 2-D viewport. It's a little bit tricky to do a 2-D rotation in a 3-D viewport like Perspective. So, I am going to go back to all four viewports by double-clicking, and we're going to maximize this Right viewport. So, I have the arm selected, and we turn off Midpoint snap.
And we'll start the 2-D rotate over here in the main menu. Now, it should find the end of that line up there. I'm going to draw down. You can eyeball this whole thing, or holding down the Shift key it will seek out an ortho second point that you can rotate at any angle, or you could type in a value. We're just going to kind of do a random number here. I'll show you how to get it back into position here in a minute. So, we have rotated it some unknown angle and a lot of times you get geometry from other files, or even accidentally rotate things an unknown distance, and we want to get that back perfectly vertical.
So, we're going to use a little bit of extra snapping here. I'm going to select Perpendicular and start the 2-D rotate one more time. The arm is already selected. We're going to use the same center as the end-point of the shoulder axis. And depending on the object, you want to change your snaps. Perpendicular works perfectly here. So, I'm going to select that point. Now I have defined the starting angle. I don't know what that is and by holding down Shift, I can snap and get things perfectly aligned, where they were at some unknown angle earlier.
We should definitely be in the Perspective viewport. I'm going to double-click twice, get back here. I highly recommend that you have some axis there, instead of finding points on the object itself. So, the center of rotation should be defined by an axis. To have that set up, I'm going to go back to the Transform Rotate and right-click to get the 3-D option. Select the object, right-click to accept. Now we define the axis. There are a lot of steps here, so don't forget to be checking the command line at the top.
So, we can just pick any two points on that axis. Now we want to do the reference angle again. So, I'm going to hold down the Shift key again, so we get some ortho snapping. Here we can rotate it on whatever plane it was on, every 30, 60, 90 degrees, or again release the Shift, and just eyeball it until it looks good. The ability to quickly and accurately move or rotate objects is an essential complement to any Rhino modeler skill. We've discussed it's usually much easier to build geometry directly on the construction plane and centered on the origin.
So, it's mandatory to understand a few techniques get objects into their final position.

I was running WordPress 3.0, and clicked automatic upgrade to 3.0.1. now my blog does not work anymore.
whenever I try to access my blog, I get "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute."
I was running WordPress 3.0, and clicked automatic upgrade to 3.0.1. now my blog does not work anymore.
whenever I try to access my blog, I get "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute."
Never saw that line in a WP upgrade. Do you use a maintenance plugin or did you use a plugin to upgrade?
So, to get rid of the maintenace mode your site is stuck in after a failed upgrade, simply delete the .maintenace file from your WordPress root directory using your favourite FTP client.
ok change of problem... I can now (thankfully) access my blog and admin panel, but the update did not work. whenever I click automatic update, it takes a while - doing something, then the side panel, header and footer comes up. then if I go somewhere (e.g. posts), the «WordPress 3.0.1 is available! Please update now.» pops up again.
so I guess the problem is now: automatic update to 3.0.1 doesn't work!
It did for me. Did you have problems with auto upgrades before?
Of course you can always upgrade manually...
never had any trouble with it before.
I'd go for manual
http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress (see "manual update"). It's only a matter of replacing files.
uhm... whenever I go to my blog or to my admin page, I just get a blank page now.
what I did was delete wp-admin and wp-includes, then copy over all files from the 3.0.1 tar.gz, overwriting what was on my blog.
fixed it. :-)
Any thoughts, I did the automatic update to 3.0.1 and of course I did not back up first, Then I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /nfs/c04/h02/mnt/61503/domains/megawattcreative.com/html/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 289
I can not log into the back end either, it said automatic update and everything else worked seamlessly so I figured it was a easy update.
Any Help is appreciated.
visualflux, Try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

TWO GAMES LEFT: An in-depth look at how the playoff races can play out over the next few days
Cam Lewis
April 09 2015 08:00AM
Two points separates five teams in the Eastern Conference with two games to go. The picture is similar in the West, as three teams separated by just three points of one another teams duke it out for the final two playoff spots. Simply put, these last two games are huge. Any of Calgary, Winnipeg, Detroit, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh, or Boston could relinquish their spot to Ottawa or Los Angeles.
What are the possible playoff scenarios? What's most likely to happen? Let's take a look.
It all comes down to this: the Sens and Pens play for their playoff lives on Tuesday
Cam Lewis
April 06 2015 06:30AM
I'll be honest, this isn't what I expected from the Eastern Conference playoff race.
A week ago, I broke down the playoff race in the East and figured that it was down to three teams and one spot — the Bruins, Senators and Panthers. Since then, the Bruins have heated up, while the Red Wings and Penguins are imploding, making the standings a hell of a lot more unpredictable than they were last week. Now there's three teams tied with 95 points and the Senators on the outside looking in with 93 points.
The best part about it, though, is the Senators are going to face the Penguin tomorrow night in a game that will very likely determine which team grabs a playoff spot in the confusing Eastern Conference.

Milestone watching in Florida: Luongo and Jagr
Cam Lewis
April 05 2015 09:00AM
The playoff dream for the Panthers may be all but dead at this point, but it's still been a pretty interesting season in Sunrise. The Panthers have an exciting core of young players, but perhaps the most interesting aspect of the team is they boast both the NHL's active leader in wins for a goaltender and points scored by a skater. It's an interesting blend of young talent and veteran legacy, that's for sure.
I'm sure most people know that already, but Roberto Luongo and Jaromir Jagr have both been tearing up their respective all time leader boards this season. Jagr currently sits fourth all time with 1,798 points, while Luongo is 11th all time with 400 wins.
Realistically, where will these guys end up? Can Luongo get anywhere near Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur? Can Jagr surpass Gordie Howe and Mark Messier and become the second more prolific scorer in league history?

NA middle school gifted students express creativity through art
Gifted Art students at New Albany Middle School are altering books, recreating art masterpieces, building Picasso head through cubism, Dale Chihuly designs, painting still life, drawing, and are always finding more ways to express their creativity through artistic expression.
This class is only attended by students that made it through the audition process. The teacher is Julie Eaton and she teaches sixth, seventh, and eighth graders.
Megan Wilson is an eighth grader in Eaton's class and she just finished an assignment on altered books. She took a composition notebook and altered each page to express herself in various ways. She had a memory page, a page mostly composed of different song lyrics, she expressed her music interests, mostly with musician Adam Lambert, she expressed some of her memories, some of which was from childhood, and she showed what her goal in life is to be. That goal is to be a graphic designer.
Wilson said, "I like doing this. It's a different twist on scrapbooking. This project has really helped me improve in art. I practice until I am happy with it. I need art in my life."
Easton explained that art is important to her because of the problem solving aspect.
"There's so much problem solving and decision-making," said Eaton. "You have a vision of what you want and you have to decide what you are going to have. I want my students to be problem solvers."
Alyssa Greer, sixth grader in Gifted Art, prefers watercolor, which is her favorite. She said, "It's fun to do. I like to practice with different techniques. I also liked doing the op art. I like art because you get all of your feelings out in your drawings and it makes me smile."
Overton Johnson, sixth grader, said that he likes the portrait drawings the best. He draws in pencil and likes the realistic medium of art. "I like drawing. That's what I do when I am mad. I draw cartoon characters out of comic books. You can take out all of your feelings in it and express how you feel," said Johnson.
Seventh grader Katie Davis's favorite art mediums are watercolor and colored pencils. She said, "I am best at those and they are easy to work with. I like using pretty and bold colors. Gifted Art is the most fun class and we have a really cool teacher too. You can express yourself and go crazy with art instead of sitting in front of a desk all day."
Miller Dunnam, seventh grade, enjoys working in the abstract medium of art. "I liked working with origami and doing the still-life drawings of deer skulls. I think art is fun. You get to be creative and is a good form of expression."

Donald Trump Raps Along To Mac Miller's "Donald Trump" (Spoof)
Editing politicians' speeches so that they rap along to to popular hip hop songs is all the rave these days. The newest edition of this trend features clips of the bombastic presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump rapping over Mac Miller's "Donald Trump." Trump famously threatened to sue Miller for using his name in the song without permission in 2013. All is forgiven here, as he raps the song he inspired with gusto.
Mac Miller Eviscerates Donald Trump On The Nightly Show

Donald Trump's most extensive foray into hip hop was probably the time he threatened to sue Mac Miller for royalties from a 2011 song entitled "Donald Trump." Miller had a more favorable view of Trump than he does now; in December, he tweeted "Just please don't elect this motherf**ker man," and last night he made an appearance to "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore" last night to deliver a scathing message to The Donald. "I only have one thing to say," Miller began. "I fucking hate you Donald Trump."

Mac Miller "Clubhouse" Video
Mac Miller
Mac Miller hasn't been delivering your "typical" rap music videos for cuts off his new album GO:OD AM, and the trend continues with the synchro-themed music video for "Clubhouse." Mac hits the indoor pool with a team of female synchro swimmers for some choreographed swim moves, and chills in the pool alongside them. The video is part of Go Pro and Pitchfork's "GP4K" series, and thus it was shot using a Go Pro. Check it out above.
Mac Miller Crushes "10 Crack Commandments" Freestyle
Mac Miller's GO:OD AM has been one of the nicest surprises of late, and it's about time these DJs start respecting him as one of the game's top lyricists -- if you disagree, just watch his latest spot on BigBoyTV. Seconds into Biggie's "10 Crack Commandments" instrumental, you know the Pittsburgh kid ain't playing. After a "don't stop" chant from Big Boy, Mac tries his chops at Kanye West's "Get 'Em High" and predictably destroys. It's easy to tell these often bizarre rhyme connections are straight off-the-top.

Mac Miller has a brand new single out, but his appearance on "The Whitely Show" focused less about his music and more about... being white. Don't worry, it's a joke! The parody finds Mac getting uncomfortable as a host asks him if he'll ever be as good as Vanilla Ice, and whether he can actually name a good rapper who isn't Jewish (Tupac and Future were not accepted as answers). Meanwhile, Mac just dropped his new single, "Break The Law" earlier in the week, which (like the first) has received a great reaction. Y'all excited for his new album?
Mac Miller On The Breakfast Club
Mac Miller
Mac Miller has been noticeably absent from our lives, as he's taken his time to prep his third studio album, Good A.M. With the album's release date announced and the first single "100 Grandkids" out now, Mac has paid a visit to The Breakfast Club in NYC.

Mac Miller Debuts His New Single, "100 Grand Kids"
Mac Miller
Mac Miller is getting ready to drop his major label debut, and at the Grassroots festival in Omaha, Nebraska last night, he shared the first single from the project. From the performance, "100 Grand Kids" doesn't exactly sound like a compromise from what Mac was doing with his last album, but it is pretty catchy, at one point interpolating Diddy's iconic "Bad Boys For Life" hook.

Mac Miller "Diablo" Video
Mac Miller
Ever since he dropped off his Faces mixtape back in May, Mac Miller has been relatively quiet when it comes to new releases. Today, the Most Dope general looks to be changing all that as he revisits that very project to share the visual for "Diablo". Shot in the streets of L.A., Mac & his fellow Most Dope homies invite the whole neighborhood out to help shoot this laid back TreeJTV-directed video.

went over my limit about 1yr ago, and started getting over the limit and late fees like crazy...I decided to stop paying them, and went in search of help. No luck
My account went to Alliance One for collection. I set up a payment arrangement with them. I have paid them over 800.00
in late fees and over the limit fees, and still my account would never go below 1000.00, every time I called they were rude.
Finally I did a balance transfer with Capitol One for 1100.00, to get them off my back. Yet still got a bill saying I still owed 46.14, I paid that with a check by phone.
Only to get another bill from FCNB, for 95.00, I did some research and found that the 46.14 was never posted to my account,
so guess what, I got a late fee of 35.00.
After talking to Walter at FCNB he said that they were aware of the screw up (blaming Alliance One), to be assured that this matter was being investigated by a man name Mr. Mayo.
Mr. Mayo himself does not have a phone # or email (no wonder)I am still searching on that one.
I feel a class action suit is needed here.. I was ripped off.
Maybe for hundreds of dollars.

Canelo-Kirkland Deal Reached: Kirkland Ready For War
By Rick Reeno
BoxingScene.com has been advised that a deal has been reached to match James Kirkland (31-1, 27KOs) against WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (40-0-1, 29KOs) on September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will headline a pay-per-view event. Kirkland's legal adviser, Michael Miller, tells BoxingScene that he reached an agreement with Golden Boy Promotions a few hours ago. Golden Boy promotes both Alvarez and Kirkland.
Last week, an agreement was reached for Alvarez to fight Paul "The Punisher" Williams. However, this past Sunday in Atlanta Williams was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident which left the boxer paralyzed from the waist down.
Following his March ten round disqualification win over Carlos Molina, Kirkland underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair two tears in his right shoulder. It was initially believed that Kirkland would not be able to fight until the month of October. However, Kirkland was medically cleared on Wednesday by his treating physician.
"September 15th, it's on. [James] is ready. He wants to go to training camp tomorrow. He's ready to go. I asked him 'what about the shoulder' and he said 'I'll cut my arm off and beat that boy with my cut off arm if I have to - make the fight.' That's how excited he is about it. He is ready to go," Miller told BoxingScene.com.

Our exhibition Miró: The Ladder of Escape is now open at Tate Modern.
Here you can see over 150 paintings, works on paper and sculptures, including, as you may have already read in the press, five of his large triptychs which have been brought together for the first time.
We are very excited about this exhibition - and look forward to hearing your comments. So please do post your messages on the Tate blog below. We look forward to hearing from you. Matthew Gale is head of displays at Tate Modern and co-curator of Joan Miró: The Ladder of Escape.
Joan Miró: The Ladder of Escape is at Tate Modern until 11 September.
I went with my niece. She loved it because she is a musician and connects with these things emotionally. I am a bit right-brained so I like to understand things and Miro's symbols meant nothing to me at all. Maybe they meant soemthing to Miro but not to me. I always have the impression with these guys that they start off wishing to communicate with us but end up very solipsistic and don't really care whether they are communicating with us or not. Kandinsky seems the worst offenders in this respect. I got really angry with Kandinsky for his self obsession. Matisse's bits of colured paper similarly. Miro I didn't hate - the colours were nice - but he meant very little to me. The bit on the headset about the black dots pulling us into the blue painting was risible. They did nothing of the sort. Otherwise the background stuff on th headset was really excellent. A retail opportunity was missed though. I bought some very nice Miro plates in the Barcelona tourist office in Plaza Catalunya. It would have been nice to be able to get some more.
I could only relate to his early work, i.e. that in the first room. Some of the later, large pieces were striking for their use of colour, as shown above, but do not strike me sufficiently when there; perhaps I only need to sit and absorb them longer; this would be aided if Monday-Thursday opening times didn't fall within standard office hours, i.e. it would be nice to attend in the evening.
I really enjoyed the exhibition. I have seen some of his works before and even had a chance to visit his museum in Barcelona. However, this exhibition helped me to understand his background, his life and his development as an artist.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Miro exhibition. Whilst I have seen some of his work in the past, this is the first time that I have seen such a comprehensive collection which not only shows the different phases of the work, but relates them to the political history of Spain and the developmental influences of Miro's peers. My abiding memories of the exhibition will be: Nature morte au vieux soulier - still life made exciting; The burnt canvases - painting with fire; and the gallery with the triptyches - elegant minimalism with such emotion. Well done to the curators, a great show.
Gosh! I was shocked to read this review! I must admit it has definitely helped me to decide that I will not visit this exhibition now. I have no time whatsoever for staff who do not know their place in life.
I shall now go elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your awful experience.
The exhibition made me realise that there was far more to Miro than I had previously thought. Seeing such a range of his work gave me far more insight into his intense personal feelings and perception of the world. Much of the work was very moving. Excellent curation, hanging and information really helped me to get the most out of the exhibition.
The exhibit was fascinating, and like many others providing comments, I enjoyed it more than I expected to. The reason, I think, is because the captions for each painting were so informative, and helped me to see the language of symbols that emerged in the course of Miro's career. The exhibit was just the right size, too. My thanks to the curators!
I enjoyed this exhibition much more than I expected to. I was underwhelmed by the vast canvases of almost solid colour but very taken with the smaller intricate pieces and I was most impressed by the scultures and the burnt-out canvases, which I had not previously been aware of. My guest was already a Miro fan and at the end I understood why he was so keen: Miro had, for him at the time he discovered him, introduced vivid colours into a world that was very black and white (TV, newspapers and magazines).
very comprehensive and interesting survey - however I don't conclude that Miro was a great artist, but an original decorative artist who reached an excellence (rooms 4-8) from which he declined. This is my opinion - the friends with whom I went admired the end rooms but tearing holes out of your canvas is not, to me, creative. The political angle was over-stressed by the curator (as in a show a few years ago on Picasso). These men are artists marginally influenced by politics, not subliminal agitators.
I thought the show was wonderfully curated, and I really disagree with the last person's comment on the audioguides - I thought they were amazingly comprehensive, and it was one of the rare occasions I listened through all the background supplementary items - which I found considerably enhanced my enjoyment.
Like many I found the early works absolutely ravishing, and the later angry ones more difficult - I also thought his work deteriorated in the latter years when he "reworked" some extremely interesting earlier stored stuff by daubing over it crudely with black streaks - I'm sure he was expressing his feelings, but - is that art? I think it was unfortunate that he became so strongly co-opted by Breton, Eluard and co -it is interesting to speculate how his work would have developed had he not lived in such dreadful times for Spain.
I also agree with the person who felt there was a dearth of information on his post war work.
But overall a wonderful and enriching visit.
Magnificent first half. Will visit again More general comment : Could the Tate do something about the poor content of the audioguides?
Visited yesterday afternoon and loved it despite it being very busy indeed. I loved the range of his works on display and the arrangement of the works by broad groupings. I am intending to visit again at a quieter time so I can take the works in without feeling so rushed.
PS Please put a link to the comment box at the top of the page!
Came to your Curator's talk on Miro last night and absolutely loved it - Marco the Miro Man was fascinating start to finish. He talked fluently for an hour and forty minutes and I wished he'd double it. I have to admit that I did not connect with Miro when I saw it just with the audio. Marco completely brought it alive - it must have been that level of enthusiasm, osmosis made it inevitable.
This is a fantastic show and so revealing about the man that I feel I have a whole new insight into his philosophy and work. The rooms with the large triptychs were quite exhilarating and the burnt pictures were so fresh and exciting...I had never seen them before and had no idea of their existence. I bought the book and when at home looking at it I found it very emotional and was surprised that this work had such a profund effect on me. Really really inspiring!
Visited yesterday afternoon,and although it was very hot and crowded, I much enjoyed the exhibition. I was not familiar with the early works on show, which were a delight. Miro's portrayal of the agony of Spain at that time comes over powerfully, and gives much food for thought. Loved the burnt paintings, which I had not seen before. I hope I can make another visit and take an audio guide this time! Well done the curators!
This exhibition was completely invigorating and uplifting, I have never seen such a wonderful variety, and so many pictures that made me want to stand and stare forever, seeing more and more with each minute, and wanting to see more, and then going to see another picture, and seeing more! What an unusual mind Miró must have had. I like his assertion that only accountants think that two and two make four. This exhibition has also made me want to go back and breathe Barcelona again, having not been there for 20 years.
Having seen the Miro in Barcelona I was very excited at having so many Miro's in London. The exhibition was wonderful and I took my daughter who enjoyed it very much. We went to the private view and loved the space it afforded us to look at everything, at our own pace. We used the audio guides and found them helpful and insightful. Barcelona is still the most special way to see his work as the Spanish sky and the space for some of his huge pieces make it so. Well done Tate for bringing a taste of Miro to our dull London skies!
I loved the exhibition. I had not previously been to a Miro show but thought I knew what to expect. The latter half Burnt-out canvas series, the Triptychs and the Majesties were stunning and seemed to have surprised a few other people too in this blog.
Found it really childish and boring, as I expected. My fault really - went to see the Vorticists but that's on at Tate Britain, not Modern - silly me!
PS Coodnt find the spel chequer on my nu compoter , sory 4 n e erors .
I think I was there I think, at the same time, your children made my day and I still chuckle to myself whenever I think of your little girl on her stool drawing away so seriously: two bubbles tied together by a piece of string. I wasn't a great fan of Miro but now I understand what you need to like his work.
I was not a great fan of Miro because I did't really understand his pictures but I met a little girl about 4 years old who does and had borrowed a stool and was copying one of the pictures into a sketchbook. She was clearly delighted with Miro and making a very good job of it. I laughed and laughed and laughed at myself, of course the answer must be I'm too old to understand and now I feel a lot better.
Loved the exhibition. It was well curated and so interesting. I had to leave half way through so shall go back soon for more. I had no idea how politics had influenced Miro's life and paintings so dramatically. JW
I loved the Miro exhibition and thought it was exceptionally well curated. I hadn't realised Miro's work was so politicised so the exhibition gave me a new understanding of a much-loved artist. I find his work incredibly moving.
I didn't listen to the audio tour and perhaps this question was answered there but I noticed that Miro did not sign many of his works - at least not on the front. Is this because his signature would interfere with the vocabulary of his paintings?
Enjoyed the exhibition very much. I particularly liked the "burnt" offerings and how they were displayed. I also enjoyed the pots - hoping for some inspiration there for my own amateur efforts. Came out feeling I ought to engineer a visit with my two/three-year old grand-daughters who with no pre-conceived ideas will get it just like that. I look at his paintings and I am back in the colours and sounds of Spain. That looks a bit pretentious but I am sure you all know what I mean.
I was lucky enough to arrive at 10.40 am yesterday when the exhibition was not crowded and I thought this exhibition was very well curated, guiding the viewer through the way Miro's work developed over his long life. With this artist I felt we really needed the titles and the background information to fully understand the works. Like other viewers I could see influences of his contemporaries, from Picasso to Twombly. I thought some of the early works in Room 1 were a delight and 'The Farm' a masterpiece which was referenced in many later works . Above all, I feel that Miro's work can only really be understood in the context of the social and political upheaval through which he lived. His work provides a graphic insight into the horror and fear experienced by those caught up in the Spanish civil war and the military dictatorship that followed. In this respect. my visit was a deeply moving experience.
I was really moved when I visited the exhibition, completely unexpectedly, I hadn't placed his work in the historical context before, and when I did, I found it quite inspirational. I didn't take the audio guide, and was pleased as I spent more quiet time with the paintings themselves which certainly had a strong voice, his voice came through, across the time that has passed, and his work showed the timelessness of passionate art. Well curated. I will visit again as there was so much to be considered. So many moments of memory.
Fascinating how his works reflected his own circumstances and how they changed with changing events.
My wife & I & elder son had been to Miro foundation in Barcelona as our ontroduction to the artist,about 9yrs ago.Recollections were hazy but we knew we had been impressed by our first serious contact.So this exhibition was "a must".All three of us were deeply moved & excited by it,(Gauguin in Jan.11 left us cold) but the Rothko had had a similar effect.Actually we did Francis Bacon @ Tate Britain in the morning,& felt like "sucked oranges" until Rothko brightened our day.Similarly Miro's Barcelona prints were angry & dispiriting (like Bacon),but everything else left us bubbling cheerfully for the whole weekend.
To put it simple and straight to the point: excellent!
I can't say that I like Miró very much. I find it difficult to relate to, except for some of his earlier works. I also agree with the previous commenter about audio guides. I never use them, but find that audio guides and lengthy notes next to paintings impede the flow of people through the exhibition. I'm glad to have seen it, but am not a fan of his work.
Thought it was absolutely brilliant! Loved it and can imagine it being very inspiring to younger artists.
I really enjoyed this exhibition. Although I'd seen some of his work before I was not aware of the range and variety of Miro's paintings. The early works in particular were wonderful and the triptych's and burnt works completely new to me. The information about Miro's life and the historical context of the times in which he worked all helped to understand the work on show. Well done Tate.
Although I can appreciate his work , it is not to my taste. I think the curator has done a good job of showing an artists development and the layout gave you an opportunity to view easily. But I am glad so many people feel passionate about it - as art is about being stimulated and individual taste.
One of the best shows we've seen at Tate Modern.
Totally inspired me to once again start making marks on paper! I will return, and visiting an exhibition twice is very unusual for me. I was totally delighted.
I thought I was reasonably familiar with Miro's work, but found this a highly comprehensive show that probably merits more than a single visit. I was particularly excited to see the very early work with which I was not so familiar, and the generous display of the triptychs in their moving isolation from the busier rooms.
We were pleased to be able to return to this exhibition a second time. It is helpfully presented, rich and thought provoking - more extensive than we had expected. I enjoyed the paintings enormously and by the end felt I had begun to understand the artist.
This is a nicely judged exhibition. I have never been to Barcelona so my knowledge of Miro has been garnered until now from the Tate's own collection, examples in other national collections and books. The illustration of Miro's life and work from three periods in his life has given me a much better understanding of what he is about.
The highlight for me was the room with the Constellation series, which was a real treasure trove. The early Catalonian work was also striking. I was interested to see the later works - I had never before come across the large canvases or the burnt works - although Miro's inspiration did seem to be tailing off by that time.
Loved it. Was surprised it wasn't busier but it made it a pleasanter experience. still so many people who do not know the magic of Miro! It was lovely to see so much work I was not familiar with. Really enjoyed the farm pictures - the colours are wonderful. Specially loved the blue tryptich. Also the constellations and the sculptures. In fact it was all brilliant. The historical input was enlightening. I only wish I didn't live 200 miles away
Really loved the exhibition. The early ones, the farm and landscapes, the constellations and the huge triptyches are my favourites. A pity we couldn't have the tapestry from the Fundacion Miro to complete the Miro world. Is it too fragile to travel, or just too big for the space at Tate? Certainly will return to see the exhibition again.
I find the Power Station terribly oppressive. I have only rarely liked the rooms and have only been seduced into membership by the thought of seeing Gauguin and now Miro and next Magritte. These are all artists I like. But sadly for me the gloom of the Power Station seems to have seeped into the exhibition and I did not enjoy the paintings until the last couple of rooms. But I love reproductions of their work. Perhaps you could explain why I feel like this. Your website is more uplifting.
Having been to the Miro Foundation in Barcelona many years ago I was feeling rather blasé about this expo beforehand, however it came across almost as a new discovery, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (helped by the fact that it was surprisingly uncrowded!). I felt the exhibits were displayed well. However, I had to ask for a large-type guide (the wall labels are always much too small and always have someone standing in front of them) and the attendant had to hunt under the desk for one. It was all in one large book, too heavy for me to carry. Why not divide it into smaller sections for different rooms as Tate Britain did at the Vorticist expo, and have copies readily available at the entrance to each room? One really big grouse now ... I pay my annual membership, we bought an overpriced lunch for 2, an overpriced afternoon tea for 2, we bought two exhibition catalogues, some postcards and the obligatory fridge magnets (they're 50p cheaper at the Courtauld), but we were still charged 5p for a carrier bag which advertises the Tate!!!!! And don't tell me "it's to save the environment", it isn't, it's a profit-making con!!!
The exhibition itself was excellent: very well thought through and carefully curated. That said, our visit was spoilt somewhat by the surly staff we encountered. As I presented my member's card on the way in I gave a cheery "Hello!" to the young man on the door, who looked at me as if I'd said something offensive about his mother and made no reply. The staff inside the exhibition were equally curt and unresponsive to smiles or questions. After going round the exhibition we adjourned to the member's room where the young woman at the door told me I "Should not presume" that I would automatically be able to bring our non-member friend in with us but that she would "allow it on this occasion since the room wasn't too busy". Once in the members' room there was the usual crowded chaos with tables having not been cleared for some time, little food left (at 1:30pm) and that which was available was bland and overpriced. The sad fact is there are better galleries in London with equally interesting exhibitions, nicer staff, better facilities and better food.
Fantastic exhibition which is excellently displayed....the paintings had plenty of room to breathe and are easily viewed without feeling crowded. Loved the way the 'burned' collection were hung casting the shadows against the wall. Ingenious and provocative hanging for an ingenious and provocative artist.
Went with two 9 year olds who loved it, completely seemed to get it and are now desperate to start burning some of their work! They sat in front of a couple of pieces and produced some lovely work for themselves. They were intrigued by the idea of a ladder to nowhere!
Every trip to the Modern I feel more dispirited by the whole enterprise. Less and less to do with creativity and more to do with merchandising and consumption. This is the last place you should visit to enjoy 'art'. Find a small gallery, talk to the artist or the agent, and most important: start making pictures.
Excellent exhibition but why no mobile works?
And why so crowded?
Like a number of other visitors I came to the exhibition without knowing what to expect. I first came to know Miró's work in the wonderful setting of the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence, which I never missed to visit whenever I was in France in the past. On my first of many visists I was immediately swept off my feet by the sheer beauty of his sculptures. Unfortunately I did not have the chance to go and see Miró in His Garden in 2009, so the Tate exhibition is a welcome opportunity to see his paintings other then on books and reproductions. I was utterly fascinated to see how his style developed from his first works, which I did not know, and how it came to reflect the darkest period in Spanish history. And the blues and yellows... I left elated and determined to come back again before it ends. Congratulations Tate.
We have in the past seen Miro's work in both Palma & Barcelona. We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition which showed the development of his style and relationship to other artists We intend to have a second visit as it is impossible to do justice to the woks in one visit. ThanksViv & Mike
