Boiler components all different brands?
So I went to start up and test my HW Baseboard heating system and realized that every integral part of the heater is a different brand. The damper is from Mizer, the control/pilot is from honeywell, and the boiler itself is Slantfin. The installation looks wonky (there's a big blue cylinder being supported by a 2x4 and the boiler is on bricks) so I figured I'd check.
Also, there was a leak the previous owner ignored and the pilot access panel is rusted up pretty good. If I take off the panel there's little/no rust inside of the boiler, so it's just cosmetic damage right?
Hard to see it from here. Post a closeup pic. The parts all come from different suppliers and that is normal. The blue cylinder is an expansion tank. Recommend you get the whole system check by a Pro who does hydronic/hot water systems. Furnace guys don't all know them. Usually plumbers do. Slant fin is an economy boiler and I have heard that the burners can go bad on some and then you have the potential for CO poisoning.
Slantfin doesn't make their own boiler controls. or dampers. Most boiler manufacturers don't make their own controls or dampers.

In the middle of my room
I sat to let my soul speak
As my ears listened keenly
Silence, do not speak
My eyes tightly closed
But still saw myself
Right in-front of me
No matter what I do
I can't forget myself
In silent darkness,
Where I could hear a pin drop
And see tears roll down your cheeks
My heart condemned me
For misjudging and hurting you
I tender my apology...Silence
I am not a superhuman
Let this stick in your mind
With my words I will be kind
Do this to every man
Silence....please take part
Human learn to consult
Everything in silence
So your mind is alert
What can lack of silence do?
It sent Jesus to the cross!
I judged an MP out of his words!
You talked nonsense!
This time I choose silence
Try to understand my decision
If you don't understand my silence
You won't understand my words
In my silence I achieved
Love that binds all
Kindness that the blind can see
Humility that a shames the proud
Wisdom that bothers a genius

Firefighters Offer Ideas
Firefighters Offer IdeasDear Editor;
The demonstration that was held at Ladder 121 of the FDNY on Saturday April 13, 2002, was nice, and it showed that the community is backing our brother firefighters. But what gets some of the community upset is the way this proposed move was done, without the community having any public say. Why is it that our so-called community board sees fit to do anything they wish, without first going to the public? And letting us know what is going on.
If you look at the area, you will see that the proposed new firehouse to be located at Beach 48th Street will cause unwanted delays for the FDNY units to respond to calls. If you check the area around and near the present firehouse, then you will find that if you go east along Rockaway Beach Road (Edgemere Road) is a baseball and basketball field, which The Parks Department of the City of New York put in about 3 years ago, at a cost of much money. You will find that it is never used at all. If a new firehouse must be built, this is the ideal place for it.
We call out to our local elected officials, to bring forth the following: 1) a town hall meeting with the city officials to attend such as the Fire Commissioner, the Mayor, and any other official who might be involved with this problem; 2) we call for an investigation into the waste of the public's money to build this baseball field which no one uses.
We also take Mayor Bloomberg to task, where he wishes to close 10 firehouses. What does he have against the Fire Department? Why is he seeking to put community lives in great danger by doing this? Let him cut into other departments, such as sanitation, and others. Leave the police and fire departments alone. The police and firefighters are out there 24 hours per day giving of themselves to fight and protect the communities in the city.
Has the Mayor or the top civilian staff of the fire department ever been in a fire, and know what the firefighters have to go through. I think not. It is bad enough that we lost 343 brothers at Ground Zero; we find that the Mayor has no concept of what is going on (and never will). I will say this much, our community board is a do nothing board, they never will be a board that will make the Rockaways a better place to live.
We ask that The Wave back the concept of a town hall meeting, and get it done as fast as possible. If they move the old firehouse, they are going to hurt lots of people here in the Rockaways since the members of the firehouse are city workers. They are unable to say anything about what is going on, but we as an independent organization can and will continue to do so. In an effort to make the city officials understand that by making this move they are hurting all of us.
I would like to ask, has the Mayor and his department heads ever been out to our area to see the problems we have here in person? I do not think that they ever will take the time to come out here. If the Mayor is so upset about using a knife to cut services, let him cut services in other departments or have his high paying department heads take a cut in pay.
The Commissioners get too much salary as it is, and there is too much double standard in City Departments. Why doesn't he integrate some city agencies to save money? It is very easy to do this, but to go and hurt agencies that are out there trying to protect communities it just stinks.
We hope that the community and all other organizations will come out and back our brother and sister firefighters and police. We ask them to send letters to our city officials and to the Mayor taking them to task about this problem. We ask the community to write letters to the Borough President asking them to remove the heads of the community board since they choose to hurt the community with the action they are seeking to take.
We ask this newspaper to back a town hall meeting on this subject. We call for an investigation into the empty baseball field, which would make an ideal place for the proposed new firehouse (if they have to move). We call out to all our local elected officials (and newly elected officials) to put pressure on City Hall to back down from closing ten firehouses and from moving this firehouse.
We are the International Association of Volunteer Firefighters, and its Emergency Disaster Special Services here in Rockaway. We work with both the NYPD and FDNY in all disasters be they man-made or natural, and we get out there 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. By going in harm's way, just like the paid brother and sisters do, so we can relate to the problems they have, and for this reason we are backing them 100%.
We hope that something good will come of this letter. We ask the community to get out there with more demonstrations against what the community board and the city are going to do. We hope that this city will come to its senses and leave things alone.

From left to right: Leif Ringstad, Lynn Pesson, Jack Ball, Glenda Pesson, Steve Purdy, Robert Smith, Suzanne Smith.DENTON, Texas – Maruyama U.S. recently hosted a trip for members of the company's distributor panel and a new Maruyama dealer to visit its manufacturing and business headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.
The Maruyama distributor panel members participating on the trip include Jack Ball, Sales Manager of Tru-Power, Inc. located in Corona, Calif., Steve Purdy, President of Oscar Wilson Engines & Parts located in O'Fallon, Mo., and Robert Smith, Vice President of Smiths South-Central Sales Company located in Springhill, La. The Maruyama dealer accompanying the distributor panel members is Lynn Pesson, Jr., President of the Southland Engine Company, Inc. located in Lafayette, La.
According to Leif Ringstad, Maruyama U.S., Inc. General Manager, "We are honored to have such an esteemed group accept our invitation of appreciation and tour the Maruyama facilities in Japan. Each has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Maruyama brand and for that we sincerely thank them."
The tour included five Maruyama factories all located in the Togane area about 30 miles east of Tokyo. Each factory is responsible for specific product lines and is fully equipped with the latest in manufacturing technologies such as automated and robotic operations and CNC metalworking machinery.
A highlight of the trip was a meeting with Haruo Uchiyama, chairman of Maruyama Manufacturing Company. During the roundtable meeting a general but valuable exchange of ideas was discussed for the future direction of Maruyama in the North American market.
A full day of sightseeing in Tokyo and an excursion to the top of sacred Mt. Fuji was also on the agenda.

On 31 Mar 2013 HTG provided a definition of Ad Hoc Networks (AHNs) based upon what the author understood at hoc to mean. Then he used the example of a network set up on the fly for a specific reason, such as "an Ethernet cross-over cable to transfer files between two computers". This is NOT what AHNs are. His description at the start of the discussion is closer to what an AHN is when he said "refers to the the non-dependence of the ad hoc network on pre-existing infrastructure. Wikipedia gets it right when they say "the determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity. In addition to the classic routing, ad hoc networks can use flooding for forwarding the data."
The company i worked for provided ad hoc networks for the military. The goal was for a network that was smart in that it organized its own routing on the fly. New nodes could join the network and the routing tables would be updated. Part of the goal was flexibility but also survivability: one node could be disabled and the network would "heal" itself and reconstruct routing tables to ensure that the traffic was delivered.
But an AHN certainly is not a network or communication interconnect that is put up at the spur of the moment for something like used in the examples.

The question of eating in flight is complex. How your body processes food, what types of foods are best to ingest and when to ingest them come into play. Most people eat on flights because of boredom, and many suffer the effects of jet lag by doing so. The rule of thumb is to dine light if at all, eating in the way your body feels best, and not because of boredom, convenience or even time zone.
Here are some tips:

When the NAACP last year shared some copies of citizen complaints against New London police, one that stood out as especially egregious described a 2009 incident involving police union President Todd Lynch.
Lynch, according to the complaint, which turned into a lawsuit that is still pending in Superior Court, drew his gun on someone he stopped in the New London Shopping Center parking lot, a man he then ordered inside a nearby Radio Shack for a "cavity search."
Inside the store, as customers and employees looked on, Lynch asked whether there was a back room and whether it had cameras, the lawsuit says.
In the back room, he ordered the store employee to leave and then pulled down the complainant's pants and underwear - while he was handcuffed - and made him bend over to "make sure this is not where the drugs are," according to the lawsuit and the complaint included in the compilation by the local chapter of the NAACP.
No drugs were found.
Curiously, it was outside the same Radio Shack a year later, after Lynch said he got out of his cruiser and fell to the ground, that his police dog, Jasper, leapt from the open driver's door to attack and bite a 12-year-old girl who had crossed in front of the car, according to a police report.
Lynch told officers investigating the bite that the dog must have believed that the girl had attacked him and was responding as trained.
The police report on the incident also noted that there was nothing in the cruiser separating the driver's area from the back of the car to isolate the dog in the rear cage, adding: "This issue has been documented in the past."
The family of the young girl hired an attorney and filed a claim for damages against the city.
I received the report of the girl's bite after submitting a Freedom of Information request to the city for reports of dog-bite incidents.
Making the FOI request seemed relevant now, given the current standoff between Mayor Daryl Finizio, who wants to cap the police dog program at one dog, and the City Council, which earlier this month unanimously passed a non-binding resolution saying the department should have at least four dogs.
But, oddly enough, the idea of making an FOI request regarding the police dog program, of which Lynch is in charge, got a public airing last year when the union head sued the city and Police Chief Margaret Ackley, claiming, among other things, that Ackley had suggested to a city gadfly that she make an FOI request for the police dog information.
Indeed, after reading 18 reports on the most recent dog attacks, I see why the police chief wanted people to learn more about the program run by her nemesis.
I am sure some people will find no problem with the way the dogs have been used to apprehend suspects and attack uncooperative or violent detainees. But I found it disturbing to read about the way the dogs are used routinely, often jumping out of cruiser windows to attack on their own.
Most of the dog-bite reports say the handlers believed themselves or the public to be at risk. But none of the bite victims in the reports I read turned out to have a gun and, in many cases, more than one officer was present when the bite occurred.
You wonder why an attack dog is needed, instead of pepper spray, a stun gun or an old fashioned night stick.
In one case, the bite victim was someone walking on the sidewalk, minding his own business, when Lynch pulled alongside in his cruiser to confront him. It was someone the head of the police union said he knew to have a criminal record and who seemed to be concealing something in his clothes.
Another bite victim, someone with a criminal record who was apprehended after running from a hospital psychiatric facility, said in a Superior Court lawsuit, one he brought himself, that he had been caught, had submitted to arrest, and was kneeling in front of Lynch when the officer told his dog: "Get him."
The victim said he has had nightmares about dogs ever since.
Lynch told police investigators that the victim had ignored warnings and orders to surrender.
I don't think these biting attacks are what dog lovers have in mind when they rise up to support New London's police dog program.
The statistics I received from the FOI request tell an even more stark story.
In six of the 18 cases, the bite victims were not convicted of a crime. One would like to think that someone on whom police sicced an attack dog eventually would be found to be guilty of something.
More alarming are the statistics on the racial makeup of the victims of police dog attacks in New London. There was a fairly even split between white and black or Hispanic dog-bite victims in 2008, but of the 17 bites in 2009 and 2010, the victims were overwhelmingly not white: 89 percent black or Hispanic one year and 100 percent black or Hispanic the next. There have been only three bites in the last three years.
Meanwhile, the city's population is about 44 percent white and, most years, close to half of all those who get arrested are white.
You wonder, how could half the people arrested one year have been white while all the police dog bite victims were black or Hispanic?
Whatever form or size it takes, it seems to me, the city's dog program could use some new direction and leadership.
As a matter of fact, I think the city could stand to lose both the police chief and police union chief and their personal war. Let them sue each other and the city from afar, off the city payroll.

Austrian president critically ill after heart attack
Page Tools
Austrian President Thomas Klestil was hospitalised in a critical condition yesterday after suffering a heart attack three days before the end of his term, his office said.
"He is in a critical condition," spokeswoman Elfie Thiemer told AFP, confirming reports from Vienna's AKH hospital about the 71-year-old president, who is due to hand over to his elected successor on Thursday.
Klestil was rushed to hospital by helicopter from his private residence in Vienna early today, the Austrian news agency APA reported.
The president was revived by one of his bodyguards who used a defibrillator to jolt his heart back into action after he collapsed as he prepared to leave for his office, APA said.
By late morning the director of the AKH, Reinhard Krepler, told journalists that the president "was still in a critical condition".
Hospital spokeswoman Karin Fehringer said he was suffering from a lung condition but declined to give details.
Klestil is due to stand down from the Austrian presidency on Thursday, handing over to socialist Heinz Fischer, who won a presidential election held in April.
The Austrian head of state, who has served two terms, had severe pneumonia in 1996 from which he took several months to recover. He suffered a pulmonary embolism in the same year.
Klestil had lung problems again in June last year, the president's chief spokesman Hans Magenschaab said, adding that it appeared to flare up again in recent days.
The president also underwent surgery to both his Achilles tendons in November last year after falling in the bath.
In keeping with the Austrian constitution, Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel today took over Klestil's functions, a statement from the chancellor's office said.
The president had been due to hold his last news conference as head of state later in the day.
The speaker of the Austrian parliament, Andreas Kohl, said that while Fischer's swearing in would go ahead as planned on Thursday, a farewell ceremony for Klestil would be postponed until his health recovers.
Klestil was first elected to the presidency in 1992 as a member of the conservative People's Party (OeVP), replacing Kurt Waldheim. He was re-elected for a second term in July 1998.
The son of a transport official, he was born in Vienna on November 4, 1932. and studied economics before becoming an adviser to the government in that field in 1957.
His political career began in earnest in 1959 when he became a member of the Austrian delegation to the Vienna-based Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Klestil went on to become Austria's ambassador to Washington but came back in 1966 to serve as secretary to then chancellor Josef Klaus, before returning to the United States as consul general in Los Angeles. He held the post until 1974.
In 1978 Klestil became ambassador to the United Nations in New York, before returning to Washington in 1982.
Early in his presidency, Klestil sought as much contact with the public as possible, but his outings were curtailed after his health crisis in 1996.
He was first hospitalised in September but only returned to his office in January the following year after carrying out his duties from his sickbed for a while.
Klestil earned something of a reputation for outspokenness when he failed to hide his distaste last year when Schussel for the second time formed a coalition with the far-right Freedom Party, which was first led into government by firebrand leader Joerg Haider in February 2000.
He also created a minor scandal in 1994 when he left his first wife Edith for diplomat Margit Loeffler, whom he finally married in 1998 after he won his second presidential election.

Left elects Leader of opposition in WB Assembly
Bose said that the Left Front has decided not to put up any candidate for the Speaker's election.
Kolkata: For the first time in 34 years, the Left Front on Friday elected Suryakanta Mishra as the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly.
Announcing Mishra's name at a press conference here, Left Front chairman Biman Bose said "our MLAs will have to learn to play the role of the Opposition."
Mishra, a CPM MLA from Narayangarh in West Midnapore district since 1991, was health minister in the last Left Front government, and held the panchayati raj portfolio till the Front's poor show in panchayat elections in 2008.
Subhas Naskar, RSP MLA from Basanti in South 24 Parganas district, was elected deputy Leader of Opposition. Opposition whip will be Bishwanath Karak, Forward Bloc MLA from the Goghat Assembly constituency in Hooghly district.
Bose said that the Left Front has decided not to put up any candidate for the Speaker's election.
The Left Front MLAs met following a Front meeting to approve the names, Bose said.
Several top rung ministers, including former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, former housing minister Goutam Deb and former Urban Development minister Ashok Bhattacharya, who were senior CPM leaders, lost the Assembly elections.
Out of the 62 MLAs of the Front in the 294-member West Bengal Assembly, 31 are fresh faces, Bose said.

The Art of… Advertising – Spring/Summer 2014
Tags: Alexander McQueen, Art, Collaborations, Designers, Inspiration, spring/summer 2014, The Art of...
A new batch of campaigns has hit print which means its time for The Art of… Advertising – Spring/Summer 2014 edition. Last season top honors went to Dior for recreating Edouard Manet's 1863 masterpiece, Luncheon on the Grass, while spring belongs to Balmain for the obvious ode to the late Jean Pierre Raynaud. Marc's ultimate Louis Vuitton collection was photographed on his favorite muses in what appeared to be an Irving Penn-esque take on Picasso's Blue Period while La Perla took a cue from another great, Horst P. Horst, and referenced his most famous corset image. The Missoni ads used a similar backdrop as this season's Chloe runway show, but rather an orange and blue version of Anish Kapoor's circular sky plates. A season of advertisements would not be complete without two of fashion's favorite references, George Longo and Louise Dahl-Wolfe. Saint Laurent and Dior Beauty, respectively, filled the void this season with strikingly obvious odes. Last but not least, my favorite campaign goes to Prada who took the concept of Thomas Struth's family portraits to greater heights. I want to be part of Miuccia's wacky, colorful, gem-encrusted art family.
And while the references may not have been as obvious as the campaigns pictured above and below, honorable mention goes to Kenzo, Miu Miu, Dior and Alexander McQueen. The Kenzo campaign was yet again done in collaboration with Toilet Paper Magazine and art directed by the amazing Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Miu Miu's girls this season gave off an Egon Schiele vibe while the Dior ads placed models atop a sea of Magritte-like clouds. Lastly, the McQueen ads were shot by Steven Klein and had Kate the Great posing with a matching Barbie which brought the concept of Laurie Simmons' doll series to a new level. Excited to see what is to come of the fall 2014 shows and subsequent campaigns!

VOSS – Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2001
In the spirit of Throwback Thursdays, Thursdays on Minnie Muse are now devoted to rediscovering some of fashion's favorite collections in a series of posts dubbed The Vault. It only feels right to launch The Vault with VOSS, the spring/summer 2001 show by the king of the runway, Alexander McQueen.
VOSS was the collection where some of McQueen's most celebrated looks and mind-blowing accessories made their runway debut; from the razor-clam dress and mussel shell pieces to the red and black feather and medical slide dress. Not to mention, some key elements of the collection – menswear, feathers, and exaggerated silhouettes – are as relevant today as they were when they walked the runway in 2000. Even the staging has been copied; such was the case at Prabal Gurung's spring 2014 runway show where models were presented inside a transparent, box-like structure that was strikingly similar to the setup of VOSS. A fashion lovers fantasy world.

J.W.Anderson Fall/Winter 2013 x Callum Innes
Wednesday's are now for one of my favorite features called Art on the Runway which originated on Minnie Muse last year and has since begun calling W Magazine Online home! I love spotting art references in the new runway collections each season. In honor of the fall/winter 2014 London shows here are some of my favorite unpublished comparisons from last fall. Just wrapping up work on the New York collections… Exciting things to come!

The Art of… A Runway Show – Spring/Summer 2014
Tags: Art, Designers, New York, Paris, Prada, spring/summer 2014, The Art of...
I have returned to blogging with one of my favorite posts from last season – The Art of… A Runway Show. The spring/summer 2014 collections were filled with art references both in looks presented and the runway backdrops. Christian Dior, once again, makes the list thanks to Raf Simon's enchanted secret garden with flowers hanging in a Hew Locke-fashion. Hedi Slimane brightened up the Saint Laurent runway with a series of suspended light sculptures similar in style to the work of artist Ivan Navarro. Dries Van Noten and Rodarte paid homage to my two favorite minimalists, Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, respectively. Dries lined his runway with a series of Judd-esque Stacks while Kate and Laura took a cue from their spring/summer 2013 show and scattered the runway, yet again, with Flavin's neon light beams. Ricardo Tisci staged a car crash on the Givenchy runway similar to the work Short Cut, 2003, by Elmgreen and Dragset. Above the runway at Chloe hung a single gold inverted plate almost identical to Untitled, 2012, by Anish Kapoor while photos from Anya Hindmarch's Cirque du Soleil-inspired show resembled James Rosenquist's Multiple Universe works from 2012. Both Alexander Wang and Felipe Oliveira Baptista for Lacoste created backdrops mimicking Sol Lewitt's Costruzione Cubica, 1971.
Lastly, this wouldn't be a proper spring/summer 2014 art and fashion post without mentioning Prada and Chanel. This season Miuccia Prada commissioned street artists and illustrators to provide designs for the both the clothing and accessories as well as runway backdrop for Prada while at Chanel Karl Lagerfeld constructed his very own high fashion art gallery within the walls of the Grand Palais.
Excited to see who chooses an artistic setting to compliment the fall/winter 2014 collections in the weeks to come!

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011 and Roy Lichtenstein's Wall Explosion II, 1965
While the spring/summer 2014 fashion season is well underway, nothing shown thus far is sure to stick in consumers' minds for the next six months until the collections are available for purchase.
For fall 2013, top honors went to Tom Ford's explosive appliqués that, regardless of their commercial appeal, made quite the impact. The buzz surrounding Mr.Ford's fall collection could have been in part due to it being his first full-scale runway show since his return to womenswear, however his designs impressed nonetheless. The evening looks, complete with Lichtenstein-eque explosions, are featured in the Tom Ford fall ad campaign and have graced the pages of countless high fashion editorials since their runway debut. Looking back, it was Miuccia Prada who used a similar in-your-face approach to ready-to-wear for spring/summer 2011 with her firecracker leather skirts and jackets at Miu Miu (pictured above).

Soon after, Phillip Lim made an even more obvious ode to Lichtenstein for pre-fall 2012, mimicking the pop artist's famous style similar to how Spanish pop art team, Equipo Cronica, has done in the past.

Chanel Fall/Winter 2009 Couture
For fall/winter 2009 couture, Karl Lagerfeld took a more abstract approach to fireworks and explosions at Chanel. Two standout looks from the collection bared striking similarities to the works by artists Wassily Kandinsky and Robert Delaunay; entitled Squares with Concentric Circles, 1913, and Le Premier Disque, 134 cm, 52.7 inches, 1912-13, respectively.
Left: Squares with Concentric Circles, 1913 by Wassily Kandinsky and Right: Le Premier Disque, 134 cm, 52.7 inches, 1912-13 by Robert Delaunay
Lastly, no reference to explosive fashion would be complete without mentioning Christopher Kane's 2010 resort collection. The atomic bomb dresses and separates were unforgettable and almost identical to images in Robert Longo's series of charcoal, bomb drawings, The Sickness of Reason.
No matter what the season – fall, resort, spring or pre-fall – ready-to-wear or couture, designers are more than capable of making an impact. Now it is your turn spring/summer 2014, wow us.

Perfect Pairs

From Left: Narciso Rodriguez, Erdem, Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2013
The fall 2013 shopping season is well under way. Collections shown almost six months ago are finally hitting stores and available for purchase. In an effort to re-familiarize myself with pre-fall I have been flipping through shows style.com and noticed a pattern amongst the collections. Designers from Narciso Rodriguez to Erdem as well as Parisian houses like Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior showed multiple, if not all, of their 2013 pre-fall looks in pairs.
Dolce & Gabbana, Viktor & Rolf and Valentino's Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli
This latest pre-fall development is hardly the first time the fashion world has experienced the impact of a twosome. Could this trend have come about as a result of the continuing success of designer pairs from Dolce & Gabbana and Viktor & Rolf, to Valentino's Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli? Just this past June the CFDA awards for womenswear designer of the year and the Swarovski award for womenswear were presented to American duos Proenza Shoulder and Suno, respectively, and in 2012 Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were awarded top honors for The Row.
John Galliano spring/summer 2006 and Chanel spring/summer 2013 couture
The art world, however, recognized the power of pairs far before John Galliano sent obscure couples down the runway for his namesake spring/summer 2006 ready-to-wear show and prior to Lagerfeld's double bride finale for Chanel spring/summer 2013 couture.

Artists such as Dan Flavin and Donald Judd as well as Peter Fischli & David Weiss began collaborating in the 1970s while modern day duos from Elmgreen and Dragset to Kelley Walker and Wade Guyton have made names for themselves as twosomes.
Left: Elmgreen & Dragset and right: Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker
Countless solo artists have explored the concept of duality within their personal work. One of photographer Diane Arbus' most celebrated images – Identical Twins, Roselle, New Jersey, 1967 – famously depicts identical young females and by happenchance began a cultural revolution; is it said that the pair were the inspiration behind the twins in Stanley Kubrick's surrealist horror film, The Shining. Arbus herself even worked in collaboration with her husband, Allan, although he is rarely mentioned.

Likewise, more contemporary female photographers, from Sarah Jones to Cindy Sherman, have embraced twosomes in their individual work; the latter elevated her trademark self-portraits during the photo-shop revolution of the early 2000's and began appearing multiple times in one image.

Regardless of seasonal trends, fashion and art duos continue to prove themselves unstoppable.
The Art of… Advertising
Tags: Alexander McQueen, Art, Collaborations, Designers, Fall/Winter 2013, Inspiration, Photography, Prada, Retail, The Art of...
August is underway meaning that any day now September fashion issues the size of telephone books will be hitting newsstands. Last year I shed light on editorial content vs. ad pages and, while I can imagine 2013 will be much of the same, something excites me about what I have seen thus far on the fall/winter ad circuit. More designers have taken inspiration from art for their latest set of campaigns.
For starters, Inez and Vinoodh captured Raf Simmons' fall 2013 collection for Dior and one image in particular (pictured above) was a direct reference to Edouard Manet's 1863 masterpiece, Luncheon on the Grass (below).
Edouard Manet, Luncheon on the Grass, 1863
While Dior took inspiration from the past, at KENZO, Carol Lim and Huberto Leon enlisted the help of present-day artist Maurizio Cattelan to think up a fantastic, surrealist-inspired campaign.

Left: Robert Longo image and Right: McQ Fall/Winter 2013
Similarly, one of fashion's 'go-to' artists, Robert Longo, is once again invading fashion magazines by way of the McQ campaign (above). In the past, Lanvin showed Longo-inspired images for spring/summer 2010 while the following season the entire Bottega Veneta campaign was shot Longo-style.
Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2010
In the past, fashion houses have partnered with artists to produce original editorial content. Cindy Sherman is always the premier example of the intersection of art and fashion; take her post card series for Comme des Garçons in 1994 or her Marc Jacobs advertisements in 2006. Rather than a brand using an artist to promote a collaboration between the two creative forces, it is most intriguing when designers seek out artists to highlight their existing products.
Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2007 by Marilyn Minter
Taking this philosophy and looking back at past year's fashion advertisements, Tom Ford's fall/winter 2007 campaign by Marilyn Minter immediately comes to mind. The images represented the Tom Ford brand through the eyes of Marilyn Minter – pure genius.

Left: Rene Magritte, The False Mirror, 1928 and Right: Diane Von Furstenberg
Just last year Diane Von Furstenberg showed a series of surrealist ads for spring/summer 2012 with countless references to the work of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte (above).
Last but not least, my favorite ode to an artist was Prada's spring/summer 2001 ad campaign inspired by the amazing Martin Munkacsi (the same man who captured the puddle jumper in 1934, well before Avadon). Munkacsi was famous for his high-energy, identifiable images when, at the time, almost all fashion photographs were being shot on a large format camera inside a studio. His series of beach photographs from the late 1920's to early 1930's are still some of his most celebrated to date and served as the inspiration behind Ms.Prada's spring/summer campaign.
Between The Lines of Fall/Winter 2013
Tags: Art, Designers, Fall/Winter 2013, Inspiration, New York, Paris
Art by Kehinde Wiley, inspired by Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013
Looking back at the Minnie Muse archive, one of my all-time favorite posts to date is Between The Lines from April 2012. It was through the Between The Lines coloring book that I was first introduced to the unbelievable organization RxArt all while rediscovering one of my favorite pastimes as a child, coloring. This year, I once again flipped through the pages of Between The Lines and chose different works to color using the fall/winter 2013 collections as my inspiration. My self-constructed fantasy land includes Givenchy's FW13 runway hair in form of a baseball cap, a Rodarte rose garden and tie-dye sky, a Jeremy Scott-patterned Giraffe and some sultry/gothic Thom Browne-inspired Murakami flowers. What a world it would be…

Alexander McQueen FW 2012 ready-to-wear and Giambattista Valli FW 2013 Couture
Is imitation truly the highest form of flattery? Or is it merely a lack of originality? Another couture season has come and gone, this time, with countless designers referencing their contemporaries in a big way. It wasn't a pattern here or appliqué there, however many houses took direct inspiration from the past, similar to how Joseph Altuzarra famously paid homage to Tom Ford's fall/winter 2003 ready-to-wear Gucci show for fall/winter 2010. Looking at this most recent couture season, Raf Simons' global collection for Dior showed a few undeniable similarities to Pheobe Philo's FW 2012 collection for Céline while Giambattista Valli also looked to FW '12 and mimicked much of what Sarah Burton showed that season at Alexander McQueen. The first show of the week, Versace, relied on classic underpinnings to serve as the basis on a majority of the looks much like Jason Wu did for spring/summer 2013 and this season, Jean Paul Gaultier sent his bride down in the runway in a gown almost identical to the final few looks in Viktor & Rolf's spring/summer 2011 show. Similarly, the Dutch duo made subtle references to past collections by the equally avant-garde Rei Kawakubo for their premier couture presentation. Seeing as how this season marked the return of the house of Schiaparelli, maybe designers took that as their cue to make this couture season all about taking something old and making it new again.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- At least three people were killed in a 7.6-magnitude earthquake that jolted the western coast of Costa Rica on Wednesday.
Two women were frightened to death due to heart attack when the earthquake broke out around 8:30 a.m. local time (1430 GMT), while the third victim, a man, was crushed when a building under construction collapsed, local media said.
At least 30 people were injured in the earthquake that caused slight to moderate damage to buildings in the disaster area and was followed by about 60 aftershocks.
In San Jose, the quake shook buildings and sent residents fleeing to the streets. Connections via mobile phones and regular phones were disrupted. Electricity cut-off has been reported in the capital.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the quake was measured at 7.6 on the Richter scale. Costa Rica's volcanic and seismic observation agency first put the tremor at 6.7, but lifted it to 7.6 later.
The quake was centered about 8 km northeast of Samara, Costa Rica, and 151 km west of San Jose, the capital, said the USGS.
In Samara, the epicenter, a clerk said in an interview that the damage was not serious, but residents were in a state of panic. Xinhua photographers witnessed broken water pipes in Samara and cracks in the road connecting San Jose with the epicenter area.
Casualties were also reported in neighboring countries. Three women died in Nicaragua Wednesday after their boat capsized from a large wave caused by the quake.
Nicaraguan Red Cross said that the three young women were sailing along the La Cruz del Rio Tasbapoune route in south Atlantic waters.
Pedro Olivas, regional Naval Chief in south Atlantic, said authorities were investigating the site of the accident.
A tsunami warning was initially issued after the quake, but it was later canceled.
Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla and her Nicaraguan counterpart Daniel Ortega urged residents affected by the quake to stay calm.
Nicaragua's Disaster Prevention System chief Guillermo Gonzalez said so far they had received no other reports of victims.
Nicaragua's Civil Defense deployed a team of at least 2,000 emergency workers along the country's Pacific coast to evacuate thousands of people in case of a tsunami, which did not occur.
Schools in Nicaragua's Pacific areas have suspended classes. In Managua, capital of the Central American country, some children were picked up by their parents although there was no order for class suspension.
The earthquake was also felt in Panama, where it triggered preventive seismic alarms.

Canada's bank regulator wants boards to get tougher in the financial sector, after discovering cases where banks have ignored policies put in place by their directors and have engaged in riskier lending.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has called on bank boards to tighten their oversight of lending policies, including keeping a close eye on the standards banks set when offering mortgages.
"When we went in and looked at all the practices, we were seeing some things that troubled us," OSFI superintendent Julie Dickson said Thursday, referring to a recent review of lending standards in the financial sector.
In particular, Ms. Dickson said the regulator had found lenders who were allowing homeowners to borrow as much as 80 per cent of their home's value through an uninsured home equity line of credit, known as a HELOC, and were not asking enough questions about the borrower's ability to repay.
"We do know some HELOCs were being offered at 80-per-cent loan-to-value, and we don't think that's appropriate," Ms. Dickson said after a speech in Toronto where she called on bank boards to bolster their scrutiny over lending.
OSFI moved to quell that type of lending last month, introducing plans to restrict HELOC borrowing to 65 per cent of a home's value. But Ms. Dickson said the directors of banks should also ensure lenders are adhering to policy by requiring a "declaration to the board" from bank executives.
Though OSFI didn't name which bank was ignoring directions from its board on lending, she said the regulator would like directors to update their policies for the current lending market, which is dramatically different from only a few years ago. Amid historically low interest rates, put in place by the Bank of Canada to spur economic growth and business borrowing, OSFI is concerned about homeowners binging on debt.
That means tightening lending standards within each bank.
"I think that boards should look at the policies that they've already developed and when were those policies developed," Ms. Dickson said. "Were they developed in a very different time? Because currently we've got a very different mortgage market."
Canada's banks have engaged in an aggressive mortgage price war this year, with several banks offering deep discounts to lure borrowers from rivals, and to compensate for slimming margins.
Mortgage lending and HELOCs represent roughly 42 per cent of bank assets in Canada, the largest of any asset class. With that in mind, the regulator is also looking to bolster qualifying tests for borrowers.
"So when individuals are being offered a very low rate, the bank has to consider whether the individual could handle a different rate," just in case interest rates were to suddenly jump, Ms. Dickson said.
Boards should watch more closely over the bank's lending behaviour, she said. The regulator would also like to see more directors on boards who have banking experience, but the roster should be a mix of people inside the financial sector and those from other industries.
OSFI's concerns come as bank executives said this week they believe it is up to the sector itself to keep a lid on lending, and said government intervention is not the solution. The heads of two large banks believe the onus is on lenders.
Rick Waugh, chief executive officer of Bank of Nova Scotia, and Louis Vachon, CEO of National Bank of Canada, both said banks share responsibility for the mortgage market and should lend accordingly, without putting too much risk on their books.
Ms. Dickson said she hopes bank directors hear OSFI's call. "I would hope boards are taking it seriously."Report Typo/Error

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
"I'm sure we're signing Stephen to go out there and play," Pedroia said. "Iggy, I'm sure he understands that. He understands he needs to get better and there are things he needs to work on. I haven't talked to Iggy since we signed Drew, but that's a part of the game."
Pedroia dealt with a similar situation in 2006.
The Red Sox knew Pedroia would be a major contributor in Boston at some point, but the club realized he needed more time in the minors to hone his skills. So that offseason, the Red Sox traded for veteran infielder Mark Loretta to bridge the gap until Pedroia was ready.
"At first I was upset, but in the long run I think it helped me become a better player," Pedroia said. "I needed to go to Triple-A and learn, and it was the best thing for me. Things work out for a reason, and, hopefully, he uses that motivation to get better, to become smarter and to learn how to play the game better.
"He wants to learn and that's why everybody around thinks he's going to be a good one, because he wants to learn. I mean, he came from Cuba and he learned English in a year. He picks up things quick, and that's not easy. He needs to learn and he's definitely willing to do it. He came out to Arizona and worked his butt off for the three days I was with him. He's going to put in the time."
ESPNBoston | Dustin Pedroia likes what he sees
Nice to see some optimism on the Stephen Drew front, considering I was a little less enthusiastic.
I'm starting to think Jose Iglesias won't really be given a shot to start at short at the major league level. This is not to say that's unfair -- he hasn't progressed enough with the bat, for sure, to quell the hesitations about his offensive ability.
Meanwhile, the consensus best prospect in the Sox system, Xander Bogaerts has an ETA of 2014 (per SoxProspects). Iglesias certainly won't stand in the way of that. Even if he hits .300 at AAA, or Drew misses time and Iglesias plays well at the major league level, the Sox will want to see what they have in Xander. In his case, the offense is likely fine, it's the defense that the organization will be evaluating. And with Will Middlebrooks on the hot corner presumably for the next five or six years, there's even more pressure to make Xander work at short.
On a mostly-unrelated-but-troubling-enough-to-mention note: Matt Collins pointed out on Twitter that Pedroia, the apple of Red Sox Nation's eye, has played fewer games per season in his career than JD Drew, one of the more hated good players I can remember, did in his time in Boston. Collins unfairly included Pedroia's rookie season (31 games); if you take that out Pedroia averages 137.5 to Drew's 121. Nonetheless, is it a concern that our most important player misses 25 games per season? I say yes.

In closing the case for the prosecution, Douglas Day, QC, said the jury had to decide whether or not Regan acted dishonestly. Regan denies theft.
The prosecution alleges that two Co-op managers, Alan Green and David Chambers, were bribed with £1m each to extend a £220m-a-year contract for Hobson to supply the Co-op. Green and Chambers were motivated by 'good old-fashioned greed', Day told the jury on the 62nd day of the trial. The pair deny corruption.
Day said solicitor Paul Thomas, charged with aiding Green and Chambers, was motivated by a wish to satisfy Hobson, his biggest client, and by the hope of becoming an equity partner in his firm.
'I can offer you no sex in this trial, and the only violence has been the unedifying sight of the defendants cutting each other's throats,' said Day. The case continues.Reuse content

Breaking clay targets and wingshooting success in the field is FUN !! The "Fun" is achieved through good "Fun"-damentals. The Fundamentals of Shotgun Shooting – Target Focus, moving with the Target, and Trust – are the backbone of all wingshooting methods today, and decades past.
Whether your game is Sporting Clays, Skeet, Trap, or Wingshooting, the basic skill for successful shotgunning is your "natural ability to see and point." From the timeless text "Game Shooting" by famous English gunmaker Robert Churchill, to the prolific shooting writers of the 60's and 70's, to the internet born "gurus" of today, it is all about the eyes and how visual input gets translated to the hands.
Finally, we must step aside mentally and trust our instincts to make the successful shot.
Ladies, youth, and men are all welcomed. We understand the importance of positive first experiences, and the concerns women and youth may have about the shooting sports. We can effectively and pleasantly teach the fundamentals to a wide range of individuals with special attention to comfort. Let us assist you with shotgun and ammunition selection before the first lesson.
"Corporate outings, fundraisers, team building functions, and bachelor and bachelorette parties are becoming popular with the clay target venues and are great ways to introduce new shooters to the sport. Shotgun lessons are also a great idea for birthday gifts, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. Allow us to help plan your special event."

Black soldiers served in Maine during World War II, assigned in small numbers throughout the state to guard Grand Trunk rail lines from a possible German attack. The soldiers, who lived in railroad cars near their posts often interacted with local residents.
These stories -- that stretch from 1999 back to 1759 -- take you from an amusement park to the halls of Congress. There are inventors, artists, showmen, a railway agent, a man whose civic endeavors helped shape Portland, a man devoted to the pursuit of peace and one known for his military exploits, Maine's first novelist, a woman who recorded everyday life in detail, and an Indian who survived a British attack.
Anglo-Americans in northern New England sometimes interpreted their own anxieties about the Wilderness, their faith, and their conflicts with Native Americans as signs that the Devil and his handmaidens, witches, were active in their midst.

text: hi all, need some help (new here, but not new to basic maintenance of vehicles... I'll be 60-yrs old next month) Purchased a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 (reg. cab, 8 foot bed, 4.8L, no frills), with 97,400 miles on it, on the 5th of this month. Today (May 14th) I did the following: * Cleaned MAF Sensor and Throttle Body. * Replaced all Spark Plugs with Autolite Double Platinum copper-core APP5245s (they came gapped at 0.055). I regapped them to be 0.040 (the old ones were APP5245, gapped as indicated below). All of the old plugs were NOT tightened/torqued as they should have been... and #1, #3, and #6 were less than finger-tight! 1 - 0.063 2 - 0.065 3 - 0.067 4 - 0.065 5 - 0.064 6 - 0.063 7 - 0.067 8 - 0.064 All of the plug wires looked to be in good condition, and they read between 910 ohms and 945 ohms of resistance... so I left them on the truck. I reinstalled everything using a bit of anti-seize on the plug threads and dielectric grease on the plug boots. A bit of a rough idle (no codes set) and noticeable hesitation were the reason for my under-takings as noted above. After completing the above... there is no hesitation and the idle is almost smooth (way better than it was before I started). With no codes set, and no CEL indications, I presume I should just drive it for a bit to see if the idle will completely smooth out. On FORD products I have owned & worked-on, one could disconnect the battery... short the POS and NEG battery cables (NOT the battery terminals!) together, for about five minutes. This would completely RESET the computer, and once power was hooked-up again... the first 10-miles / 10-minutes or so of driving would allow the computer to "relearn and optimize" the system. QUESTION: I'm curious if CHEVY has an "adaptive" computer (anything like the FORDs)? Is there anything else I should look at (given "no codes set") and a not "perfectly smooth idle"? TIA - karl

I was so let down when I purchased the full size after trying out the sample. The scent is outstanding and I fell in love with it immediately. Unfortunately it does not last on me for longer than an hour or so. It may just be how it reacts with my system but I have found other great uses for it: pillow mist, linen spray, hair spritz!

Brian Answers Live At Wembley Question
Is Brian able to clarify how the Friday night show has been prepared?
I specifically recall him saying in the past that Friday night was used as a full dress rehearsal for the cameras with the director taking practice shots etc. but that no tape was put in the machine so nothing was captured which was a big regret.
- - - - -
Brian's reply...
Dear Ian.
Thanks for writing, re the upcoming new DVD issue of the Queen 1986 Wembley concerts.
From what I can gather, there might be some confusion, here, between the second night at Wembley, and the later concert at Knebworth Park.
The only footage we have of Knebworth is from a documentary camera. That is the occasion where an opportunity was entirely missed, to record the feeds from the cameras which were being used to put images up on the 'Idaphores' - the biggest video screens available in the day.
But on the first night at Wembley, the cameras were rolling, and although there was little in the way of 'iso' feed recording (from individual cameras), a live mix was being put down by way of a rehearsal for the following night, which was planned to be the big shoot. Not all the cameras were in operation, but Gavin Taylor was choosing shots live 'at the coalface', and it was recorded with all his visual cuts. So although ideally it would be nice to be able to go back and choose some different shots in retrospect, especially from the cameras which were NOT available, we do have a pretty good 'capture' of the event, visually .... easily good enough for a 'bonus' DVD, which is what we are slipping into the new version of the WEMBLEY DVD. Of course the sound from the night was recorded at very decent quality, on multitrack, just like on the second night, and our chaps have done a great restoration job and mix on the whole soundtrack ... so musically the experience is just fine ...well, more than fine, really ! I have a suspicion that folks out there will enjoy being able to relive both Queen nights at Wembley Stadium 1986 on DVD. (Those of you who really get into this will note, if you compare this issue with the handful of songs from the Friday night that were offered as a bonus on the 2003 DVD, that there is a small amount of ISO footage from Wembley 1. I will leave you guys to have fun figuring out exactly which shots were inserted.)
